Love Is.
I wanted to do some head-cannons of the three boys and my oc's for each of them. Their own lore, my own happiness. I love the idea of love, especially theirs.
Unedited, as per usual. Fluffy like a cloud. No angst this time, I promise. Sweet like your favorite piece of candy, unless you like sour candy... then just humor me and pretend.
Tumblr media
Garreth Weasley loves the way she smiles when no one else is looking. The way her dark brunette hair waves in the wind, leaving behind the calming scents of her mint and eucalyptus shampoo in her wake. His heart swells when she encourages him to continue his experiments, even helping him keep organized notes and lists to look back on for improvements.
Her eyes, his favorite shade of green that would rival the fresh leaves of spring. The sound of her voice may sound harsh to others, but they have never heard her sing such sweet melodies when she thinks no one is listening.
He loves watching her eyes sparkle with the cracks of thunder, sitting on the windowsill as the rain falls with its torrential downpour. He revels in the way she humbles him, meeting his witty banter that almost always ends with her victorious wry grin.
He melts when she makes the first move, whether it be just a simple kiss or something more. His skin tingles with anticipation as she taunts him with small acts of affection, growing steadily as the day goes on until it becomes almost unbearable.
His breath hitches when she whispers sultry remarks in his ear, noting everything she loves about him, especially when it comes to his cock. His mind goes blank when he watches her beautiful face twist into pure ecstasy as he helps her ride out her orgasm, listening to her scream his last name as if it wasn't going to someday be her own.
He often imagined how she would react when he would propose to her, to see if she would give him a different smile or scream in delight, knowing that she would find her family in him. But oh, how he adored the way his last name looked with hers.
To Garreth, love is his number one fan, Julianna.
Tumblr media
Sebastian Sallow loves the way her heart seems to grow with every passing day. How she never gave up on him, no matter how dark of a path he went down, always waiting to envelop him in her small but firm and warm hugs.
Her hair shined like gold in the summer sun, reminding him of the princesses Anne would read aloud to him when they were smaller. He could easily find himself lost in her sapphire blue eyes, more precious than any jewel in the world. He found her simply adorable every time he spotted her in a crowd, sporting her signature pink bow in her hair as she hurried to her classes.
He loved to watch her dance, even attempting to join her when she asked, because she had him wrapped around her tiny finger. While he was intrigued by her often foolish bravery, he felt honored that she always went to him for protection, making him feel important even on his worst days.
He enjoyed watching her run through the fields of the highlands, picking the wildflowers that bloomed in the spring, even though their beauty paled in comparison to her gorgeous smile. His heart could burst from his chest every time she pulled him close, having to stand on her tip toes just to kiss him.
He would moan loudly when she would pleasure him, only ever showing her disheveled side to him as she sloppily sucks his cock until his face flushed a deep shade of red. His eyes would darken as he watched her squirm under him, easily taking him as he fucked her into oblivion, begging him with her soft voice to go faster.
He had dreamed about how she would look on their wedding day, to see her in a dress that made her look like the angel she truly was. He looked at the ring in his hand, one that once graced his mother's finger, would now grace his future wife who had been his best friend since childhood.
To Sebastian, love is his beacon of light in the dark, Adeline.
Tumblr media
Ominis Gaunt loves the way he can hear her footsteps glide into the room and immediately command the attention of everyone present. How she would always find him, ensuring his safety and comfortability, caring for him in a way no one else ever has.
Her hair reminded him of the moon, white with highlights of silver that only added to her ethereal beauty. Her eyes shined like stars, the rare gray-purple color accentuating her freckles that dotted her nose and rosy lips that seemed to hypnotize him easily.
He often enjoyed the way she was a creature of habit, from having the same cup of tea every morning to her nightcap of deliciously sweet liquor that he could often taste on her lips. He was moved by the way she dressed, always styling herself with soft fabrics that accentuated her curves and felt pleasing to his touch.
He loved to listen to her on the piano, hearing the melancholic melodies she often played as he would sometimes accompany her or just sit and listen to the sounds her delicate but strong fingers hit the keys. The hairs on his skin would raise when he listened to her commanding voice, shouting orders to wizards for their next move and yelling out dangerous dark magic towards their foes.
He did however, also enjoy her soft moans when he took charge in their bedroom. He felt excruciatingly aroused as he let his tongue snake across her neck, leaving welts of colorful bruises in his wake. His mouth would gape open as her once commanding voice, now sweetly shouting his name as they came together, basking in the afterglow of their hours long love making session just before they begin another.
He always reached out for her left hand when they strolled the gardens, twisting her wedding band in place, thanking every god that would listen that she came back into his life. He couldn't begin to describe how striking she looked on their wedding day, no matter how chaotic the circumstances were.
To Ominis, love is his fallen star from the sky, Estelle.

fine i’ll be the one to say it the fanfic is writing itself with cc and that ohio fan…
like was it bad and she could’ve ended up with a broken nose or something? yes. but you’re telling me if this was a fanfic they WOULDNT run into each other again and have a half angry half apologetic conversation that leads to an exchange of numbers somehow and somewhere down the line they meet at a party and makeout and the rest is history? no. no you cannot.

A Study In Style
Roll With It is the best piece of television ever put to screen. This is not up for debate, I will not be taking argument. I will die on this hill. Roll With It is perfect. No, I'm not biased.
In all seriousness, this episode is gimmicky and fun, so as far as plot goes, analysis is difficult. Instead, I'd like to focus on the character writing and artistic embellishments on display and explore what they do for the story.
Let me explain.
SPOILERS AHEAD: (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse, Arcane, Critical Role Campaign 3)
Tumblr media
Artistic style is a remarkably underrated part of animation. People credit the writing and the direction, but the specific visual elements that make up a style can often have a more significant impact on the story.
Think of it this way. You are watching a series through a window. The direction dictates where the window sits and what it sees, the writing and the acting dictate what goes on outside, but if the style describes the window itself. A window made from tinted, stained, or warped glass will change what you see dramatically.
Tumblr media
So, She-Ra's base art style relies on pastel colours and a two dimensional, cartoony aesthetic. It's realistic in theory, at least in contrast to One Piece, but its flat and appealing, and the expressions are often exaggerated to great effect.
Because focusing a shot is difficult when you don't have a camera (smudging colours in animation has a habit of not looking too good), animation has picked up tricks to focus the viewer's eyes. For example, Spider Man: Into The Spiderverse brought animation into the forefront of the public consciousness, and almost single handedly changed the industry, and it used a mixture of techniques to express its focus.
Tumblr media
The items in the background of this shot are less detailed than Peter, and have a kind of 3D glasses effect making them difficult to focus on. They are also in stark contrast with the red of the Spidey Suit.
She-Ra takes a different approach, saturation. The vast majority of the series is shot in pastel colours with little-to-no shadows clogging up the shots. This is then accentuated by specific key-frames of bold colouration and deep shadows that contrast wildly with each other and the rest of the episodes they are in. I have a habit of using these key frames as my opening screenshot for these posts because I think they look the coolest.
Tumblr media
The point of this is to highlight certain elements in your mind, in the same way that when you close your eyes after looking at a fire, the image lingers for a moment, memory tends to work the same way to bold colours. There is also the idea that making specific moments stand out visually tells the audience to pay attention.
If you focus on certain moments, you guide the audience's view towards them. It's the same thing that a camera does in a still image, focusing on specific items in the shot to guide the eye.
Tumblr media
In Roll With It, as the characters present their own plans, the art style changes, to match the minds that you are being transported into. Adora's style is the same as normal for the series, but the contents are different. Adora is matter of fact and to the point, but she perceives threats everywhere. Adora cannot relax.
But the specific colour choice also has an effect on the meaning of a shot, and for that, let's discuss the other animated pioneer of the past few years, Arcane.
Tumblr media
Arcane has zero chill, and even less subtlety. This shot centres around Jinx's mental instability caused by her sister. Its a tortured mind who is hallucinating about someone who isn't actually in the scene. So, naturally, her world is on fire with pink flames, associating that fire with Vi, for whom pink is a signature colour.
Tumblr media
Glimmer, however, takes the series' key frames and colour and dials that up to eleven. Everything in this shot is bold and action packed. I am tempted to describe it as violently pink.
But the shot is entirely monochrome. Everything here is pink or black, and that acts as a neat worldview for Glimmer's worldview. Glimmer perceives the world in black and white, but where the white would usually represent good in that idea, here, it is replaced by pink, and by Glimmer. Adora has a reputation for a hero complex, but I would argue that Glimmer has something similar. Not in the same way as Adora's pathologic need to save people, but Glimmer definitely has an ego problem.
Tumblr media
The pink also makes Glimmers mind difficult to read as an audience, and I think that is the point. Everything in Glimmer's worldview is super bold and in focus, meaning that it dims the effect of the focus. In the wise words of someone with a definite hero syndrome.
"When everyone's super, no-one is."
Glimmer is the perfect example of how someone with an incredibly simple worldview of good and bad can do some truly morally grey acts. In this case, because she doesn't believe in good and evil, she believes in Glimmer and evil. Either you agree with her, or you are her enemy. I wonder if that will ever come up again.
Tumblr media
There's also no way I can mention this scene without pointing out that this is a reference top classic James Bond, and that speaks to Glimmer's character as well.
The original James Bond was a character whom the world revolved around, and who rarely ever failed. He was charming, and witty, and cool. In short, Glimmer perceives herself as a Mary Sue. And it's important to understand that this is her opinion of herself, and not the actual reality. Once again, Glimmer has an inflated sense of superiority and does not understand the fact that she could be flawed.
Tumblr media
Bow, on the other hand, is simple. He is the single most simple character of the entire cast. But that doesn't mean he is flat. I want to stress that Bow is only rendered this way by the insanity of everyone else on screen.
In a world where everyone is a ticking time bomb, Bow serves to balance out the shenaniganry, which makes him an Orym figure.
Tumblr media
Art by Hanna Friederichs (@agarthanguide)
For context, Roll With It is very clearly drawing on the aesthetics of table top role playing games. This is the D&D episode, and no this hasn't artificially inflated what I think of the episode at all.
Critical Role is a D&D actual play series that is currently in its third campaign. If you have read my series on Stray Gods, you will recognise two of the cast members of CR as Laura Baily (Who played Grace) and Ashley Johnson (Who played Calliope).
Tumblr media
Orym of the Air Ashari is a character played by Liam O'Brien, a voice actor who is somehow not weighed down by the sheer amount of talent he is lugging around. Seriously, this guy has been in everything from Star Wars to League Of Legends.
In any case, the current campaign of CR centres around a collection of walking disasters, and I mean that as a compliment. Everyone in the series is one step away from spiraling into insanity, with the one possible exception of Orym.
So, Orym has taken the role of the team's everyman, rendered simple by the rest of the cast, and you can see where I am going here.
Tumblr media
Bow and Orym are the straight men of the group (a deliberately ironic choice of wording), balancing out their companions and offering a sense of stability and comfort.
But, both Orym and Bow have stuff going on behind their eyes. Orym is grieving form the loss of his husband and father, and Bow is dealing with some serious self-worth issues, but you don't see those elements that often, purely because of the more overt nature of those they surround themselves with.
But this is a post about style, and what do the visuals of Bow's plan tell us about him?
Tumblr media
Well, Bow's style draws on the aesthetics of the original She-Ra series, back when the series was designed entirely to sell toys and nothing else.
Once again, Bow is simple, he is a paragon hero, who is fighting in this war because it is the right thing to do. So naturally, his mind harks back to the version of this story that was purely idealistic.
Tumblr media
I also want to quickly mention Mermista here, because she is my favourite character. In her mind, she is She-Ra, armoured up and powerful, the chosen one.
And this is where my point comes in to this post. That's right, I do actually have something to say.
Tumblr media
This episode is a D&D episode because it is drawing on the key element of TTRPGs, the chaos. TTRPGs are fun and are designed to be a mix of different playstyles. Sometimes you are playing Blades In The Dark and you want to be something out of left field, and that is completely ok.
The message of this episode is that different styles complement each other and make each other better by contrast. Foils are important, even when they aren't antagonistic.
Tumblr media
Final Thoughts
This episode is perfect. No more comments.
Next week, I will be looking at White Out, so stick around if that interests you.

Update:
Y'all... I think I'm bored with Daryl Dixon.
Murphy, yes. Russell, always. But Daryl... meh.
Maybe not permanently. Maybe it's just the end of a phase for me. Maybe the absolutely ridiculous new spin-off has ruined the character for me.
Don't know.
But I do know - I am on Rick Grimes so fucking hard right now. And it's 100% @livingdeadblondequeen 's fault! And @minervadashwood for killing it with their A/B/O Daryl/Rick/Reader fic.
I'm working on two Rick fics. Compulsively. Have the end of the Russell fic mapped out. Still have an idea for another obscure Reedus character.
Yes, Godammit, the Murphy series will get finished if it kills me (and it might)! And I'm still dedicated to the lovely @littlegodzilla 's collab.
But, this
Tumblr media
It's doing stuff and thangs to me. And I like it! 😈
Come to me, Rick lovers.

Roll With It
Part Four of If You Can’t Take the Heat
 Barky’s | Masterlist | Shut the Fuck Up
Pairing: Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto x Reader
Rating: M (though it may have explicit chapters in the future)
Notes: Welcome back! I hope y’all are having a nice week!❣️
Warnings: Fluff, mostly; cursing. A lot of cursing.
Summary: You won’t pretend that making dinner for someone that cooks for a living has been a little intimidating—especially with how good the food he’d made had tasted. You just hope he’ll at least like what you make…Or pretend to, if he doesn’t.
Tumblr media
Maybe you tried a little harder than you usually would. Maybe you wanna impress the guy, just a little. Maybe your pasta roller has been tucked in the back of your cabinet since you moved into your apartment—but it is out, and it is working, and your kitchen smells pretty fucking good, if you do say so yourself. 
You won’t pretend that making dinner for someone that cooks for a living has been a little intimidating—especially with how good the food he’d made had tasted. You just hope he’ll at least like what you make…Or pretend to, if he doesn’t.
-- 
“Got any notes?” 
“I’m not gonna give you notes.”
"But you've got 'em."
"...Yeah, I've got 'em," Carmy admits with a grudging smile. You can’t blame the guy—cooking is literally his bread and butter. You suppose it’s sweet of him to hold back—maybe him pulling his punches means he’s into you. He pokes into the bowl, spearing pieces of pasta, andouille, and some of the vegetables. “This is really fucking good, though.” 
“Yeah?” 
“Hell yeah,” Carmy nods. “This recipe yours?” 
“Something my grandma used to make a lot. The hardest part is making the pasta—once you have, it’s like plug and play with veggies and protein. It’s pretty malleable.” 
Carmy’s head lifts then, eyes a touch wider than they were just a moment ago. 
“You made the pasta, too?” 
“Mhm.” 
“Skills, damn,” Carmy comments, reaching into the bowl and picking out a piece. You watch, amused, as he squishes it slightly between his fingers, taking in the feel and texture before popping it into his mouth.
“I shouldn’t be so shocked,” He adds before sucking the buttery sauce from his fingers. You’re so stunned at the sight, taken with the way his lips wrap around his fingers, and the brief flash of pink tongue, that you nearly miss him saying, “You were really on your shit at Barky’s.” 
“Thanks. Maybe I’ll get to watch you at work next time.”
Carmy huffs a nervey little chuckle. “I don’t think either of us would like that too much.” 
“No?” 
“It can get crazy back there. If I had a nickel for every time I couldn’t find a fucking working sharpie.” 
“Oh my god, you’re telling me. I just bring in my own now, I don’t trust Mack to restock that stuff for shit.” 
“Mack your boss?” 
“Mhm.” 
“...He why that drink might be disappearing?” 
You smile ruefully, setting down your fork and taking up your wine glass. “I’ve shown him my ideas can work, but…I don’t know, he thinks bringing in a new crowd will completely obliterate the old guard, but there’s gotta be a way for the two to coexist.” 
“Dress up the beer menu, add some cocktails?” 
“Keep the beer menu for all I care. It works, the margins are good, people know what they’re coming in for. Throw in some cocktail specials like the other night—not all the time, maybe, like—A rotation? Add like…two or three healthier, low-cost things to the menu? Frankie made spicy buffalo cauliflower when our chef was out and they sold the whole fuckin’ batch. It doesn’t have to be hard, but Mack makes it seem like some Sisyphisian bullshit.” 
You meet Carmy’s eye again, and find him watching you curiously, a small smile on his lips. Your face goes hot with the full force of your attention, and the way that you’d ranted. 
“Or something,” You mutter. “I don’t know.” 
“No, you do know,” Carmy urges gently. “You’ve got good ideas—and you don’t have to back off of them with me.” 
You smile, reassured, with a mumble of, “Thanks.” 
“Shifting that shit can be hard—from a business standpoint, and for, you know, the people that still need to adjust. I get it.” 
“You do that? At your place?” 
“...Yeah.” Now Carmy lowers his head, pushes the pasta back and forth in his bowl. “Yeah, I switched the system. Took some getting used to, but things are running more smoothly now. It was closer to what I did in New York, you know, more…Regimented. Shifted to stations, adding matching aprons, alternated a few menu items. It didn’t click, like, immediately, but we got there. We’re getting there.” 
There’s something about the way Carmy talks about The Original—in this soft, tired tone with a fondness threaded through it. It makes you want to reach out to him—to take him by the shoulders and give them a squeeze, just to remind him that he’s still standing, and the business is still standing. 
“Those things take time,” You agree softly. Carmy’s gaze flickers to you, head bobbing in a nod before he drops his gaze back to the food. You slide a leg out under the table, brushing it against his as you look down at your own bowl. It’s just a second or so before Carmy’s knee gently knocks yours. You meet his eyes, and the two of you share a small, knowing, commiserative smile.

Let’s talk about Star Trek and gatekeeping.
As an autistic person, Star Trek is my thing. It’s my obsession, my constant hyper fixation, and I can quote lore, obscure facts, and recite entire episodes. Basically, I’d crush it at Star Trek trivia night.
As a major fan of Trek, I love TOS specifically. Spock is my dude, the rest of the crew are practically my best friends. I’ve watched each episode countless times, and I know the movies by heart. As someone who’s autistic, I find comfort in the familiar and I struggle with change. And boy howdy, there has been a lot of change with the new series. Spock’s character specifically, between JJ Abrams, Discovery, and Strange New Worlds, has undergone several major transformations.
But! The thing about change and Trek is that it’s a constant. There’s the built-in possibility of change at any moment, and in order for any “true” Trek fan to keep their salt they need to remember that mirror verses and multiverses are canon, that IDIC is the name of the game, and yes, fan fiction is the lifeblood of the series. You can’t have one without the other.
Consider this. Star Trek carved out the modern fan fiction genre, and it saved Trek. The series was originally cancelled after two seasons, and was only brought back through the fan base that kept it alive through fan fiction.
If the hundreds of thousands of different interpretations, backstories, characterizations, and alternate universes that fan fiction presents, and if the hundreds of “official” novelizations exist, then new content is par for the course. Any Trek fan has to be willing to accept that lore is fluid. If a fan doesn’t get that, or tries to convince another fan that their opinions are invalid because they are fans of the new content? They’re the one who isn’t a “true” fan, because anyone that can’t accept the possibility of other interpretations and dismisses new content, they are missing the entire premise of the series.
Personally, I love SNW’s take on Spock and Kirk. (That handholding!) I love that Spock gained a sister in Discovery. I love Picard’s storyline. I love the silliness of Lower Decks, and I miss Prodigy.
If certain fans can’t accept new content and try to gate keep your enjoyment? Pull a rebel Spock: throw up the ta’al, transform it into the middle finger, and say you hope they ‘expire soon and fail.’ 🖖🏽
