[princeescaluswords]

not sure if it was meant to be done elsewhere, but my favorite fic of yours is 'Ten Things That Scott McCall Can't Say'!

Thank you!

I wanted to point out something. In Second Chance at First Line (1x02) Scott gets angry at Stiles while riding in the Jeep because he feels Stiles is treating Scott's transformation and the danger like a quest in a video game:

Scott: I can't find anything about wolfsbane being used for burial. Stiles: Just keep looking. Maybe it's like a ritual or something, like maybe they bury you as a wolf. Or maybe it's like a special skill, you know? Like something you have to learn. Scott: I'll put it on my to - do list, right underneath figuring out how the hell I'm playing this game tonight. Stiles: Maybe it's different for girl werewolves. Scott: Okay! Stop it! Stiles: Stop what? Scott: Stop saying "werewolves"! Stop enjoying this so much.

Now, we're supposed to believe that Scott's agitated mental state is due to the wolfsbane rope concealed in Stiles's backpack, but this scene also marks something else, just as important. This is the last time we see Scott get angry at Stiles because of how Stiles behaves toward Scott. Scott may become exasperated at Stiles's insistence on murder as a solution when it comes to Derek, Jackson, and Liam, but that is in defense of others, and Scott does judge Stiles in Lies of Omission (5x09) when he believes that Stiles kills Donovan to protect his father, but I cannot think of another time when Scott expresses anger or even frustration at Stiles at how Stiles treats him specifically. If you've read my blog know I believe that there were plenty of opportunities for this.

Now, moving forward to the other end of Scott's character development, compare this exchange to the scene in Pressure Test (6x15), where Scott is gathering his things to leave Beacon County after his father negotiates a deal.

Rafael: Look, I know this isn't what you wanted, but it's the right decision. When Stilinski called... Scott: Can you hand me that shirt right there? Rafael: Now, you can be mad at me, but I'd rather watch you leave the state than watch you die. Scott: (SIGHS) I'm not mad. I get why you did it. Rafael: Scott, you're not the only one who gets to protect his family. I'll be downstairs.

We've seen Scott lay into his father before in Insatiable (3x23), but he doesn't in this instance. While the circumstances are different, both scenes have a character making what's happening to Scott about them instead. But now, six seasons have passed, and Scott has learned that there are things he can't say -- or, more precisely, emotions he can't express during a crisis situation.

Teen Wolf made it a point to explore the burdens of leadership. Derek was an incompetent alpha because he made decisions based on his emotional reactions to events -- anger at what had been done to him and his family -- and Scott has managed to mature into someone who can put aside his own emotions in order to do what must be done. Scott has demonstrated this growth, and he will do it again in Season 6 when -- after a harrowing night of listening to his mother struggle to live on the operating table -- he goes to Peter -- Peter! -- and asks him to join the fight against Monroe.

Personally, I literally seethe in reaction to that scene in Eichen House in Werewolves of London (6x17), but the show was relentless in its conviction that a good leader has to put their own emotional responses to the side in order to be effective. I would have loved if Scott had unloaded, verbally or physically, on Peter after that villain enabled a fanatic to point an assault rifle at his own daughter and the man trying to protect his ungrateful ass, but that wouldn't have made stopping Monroe any easier. So Scott didn't.

Fanfiction gives us what canon didn't, and the lesson Scott learn about suppressing his own reasonable emotional responses is what I explored in this story. I suspect that the movie commented on that by having Scott move to Los Angeles -- somewhere he could be free to express himself -- but I wish it had been more explicit.

Favorite first kiss?

Favorite First Kisses!

Doozie of a question. Here we go...

1 Until We Meet Again

I mean COME on. How could this not be the #1 best first kiss? It's so gentle and so good and so hot and just... EVERYTHING a first kiss should be in life. A++ romantic

2 Old Fashion Cupcake

THE LONG SHOT. The desperation. The finger bite. The oozing THIRST. A++ quality desire incarnate

3 Why R U? Korea

Korea, scooping in a top spot? It's just the body language, the striding in, dropping the backpack, the surprised MUTUAL response (no flinching), and all the yearning. A++ want

(Foreshadow: This may... or may not... be my top kiss of 2023.)

4 Bad Buddy

Seriously boys, BOYS! You had to make it so beautiful and so painfully heartbreaking at the same time? Thanks for that. A++ pain

(They may have a light kiss before this one, I can't remember. I keep meaning to do a BB rewatch but I have to gear up for it.)

5 Semantic Error

I mean, well, OBVIOUSLY. Just A++ they perfect, no notes

6 Second Chance

I am pretty sure this one got best kiss of 2021. All you KinnPorche stans are sleeping on this little gem = Tong delivering what amounts to BLs best drunk kiss ever. FIGHT ME. A++ confused needy babies

7 About Youth

Speaking of sweet af first kisses from first timers. This one drips in sweet innocence including a rainbow and some smiles. A++ first sweethearts

8 HIStory 2 Crossing the Line

Okay the actors kiss for a dream sequence before this but this is the characters' first kiss, so that kinda counts, right? It's just such a pretty kiss. A++ stay on target, stay on theme, utterly unique

9 My Dear Gangster Oppa

Ya know this show is just so much fun and so solid and this pair deserves more accolades then their previous series afforded them. A++ finally, well done you

10 I Feel You Linger in the Air

Okay it's just all the dialogue and execution around this kiss is great and then the kiss ALSO doesn't disappoint. Plus permission and snark and so much more. A+++ class & storytelling

Also, whaan (sweet) is a really good word to have seared into one's brain in Thailand. Useful when ordering drinks.

Okay they kinda kissed before but this is the one that counts:

I didn't know how else to put this category but I had to include it so I could include this kiss:

We Best Love

The crying bridge-top kiss. I mean COME ON. One of my favorite kisses of all time. I love it when the weep+smooch.

La Pluie

Honestly? All their kisses are good so I can't remember if this was their first but, it great. Frankly, off all their kisses it's not my absolute favorite, but they deserve a mention because... wow boys. Just... wow.

The Eclipse

Because of their dynamic I am pretty sure there was something before this one, but this one lives in my head.

Be Loved In House I Do

I'm not sure this counts as their first because I can't remember the sequence in BLIHID (he through line is a bit wonky in my brain) but it is a killer kiss.

There should be more Taiwan but...

The thing is, once a Taiwanese BL starts delivering great kisses they just keep it up. So unless the narrative puts particularly strong plot intent on the "firstness" of that first kiss, they just get all sexy domestic muddled in my head.

Honor the Crumbs - Sides & Shorts, Best First Kisses

Some More

"You can kiss me, heong."

2 Moons 2 - MingKit

It's just such a sweetly perfect first kiss of the very first time variety. Before About Youth, we had these two.

Cutie Pie - NueaSin

Kissing the kiss that won them their own series. No other audition needed. In the land of amazing kisses, and up against Zee, this ONE stood way out. Very good boys. Very good indeed.

kiss x kiss x kiss - perfect scandal (AKA the office ep)

Look, this is the kiss we should have gotten in Cherry Magic. It's great, both the hesitant "permission given" first part and everything that comes next. Track this down if you can, it's a lovely little short from Japan.

My Secret Love - TimMai

Very minor side dishes but they were all I cared about in this show. They gave me the kiss I wanted even if they didn't get the screen time the deserved.

You're My Sky - SanAi

We all know they stole this show, not that there was much to steal.

Kiss Me Again - PeteKao

Maybe not the best as a kiss, but it was 2016 and this was SO SIGNIFICANT to the fandom, to the plot of the show, to coming out, to EVERYTHING. This is THE TayNew kiss. I will never forget it. Never.

I don't have a good screen cap but MarkOuwen's kiss in the taxi in Love is Science? was also fantastic.

Kisses as of Dec 2023. Not responsible for great first kisses that come after this date.

Opinion and preferences based on these ideas of good kiss chemistry.

I want you thoughts, RT and add your favorites or leave a comment. I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

i only want love triangles if it's whatever fucked up polygon junmo kicheol and euijeong have going on

#the worst of evil #ranting #idk how to articulate how juicy it is #junmo's fierce protectiveness of his wife - he trusts her but can't help his jealousy fear or frustration while trapped in the situation #euijeong hurting but putting her own life on the line worried for her husband while unpacking the memories of her first love #she can't help but sympathize with kicheol and what he's endured; haven't seen much of how she feels rn but it must be c o n f l i c t e d #(not necessarily even in a romantic way but wanting to root for a person chasing their goals who was once so important to you) #(all while grieving her mother without the support of her literal goddamn spouse by her side) #and kicheol. also grieving and trying to establish a place for himself and his crew yet drawn to junmo despite the red flags #his panic and desperation when jungmo bled out on him which must have triggered his own memories of losing taeho #junmo who has every reason to despise kicheol barely concealing his general rage but protects him like it's second nature at every turn #all while conflicted as a bystander to atrocities (and now willfully leaving another cop to die to protect himself his wife and the mission #getting mentally and physically pummeled left and right just bc his superiors demand it from him #all to please euijeong's family by using the promotions to prove himself and get rid of the stigma weighing him down #like !!! #and haven't even touched on kicheol wooing euijeong against his buddy's wishes and in such a pure heart fluttering way #accepting the risk for a second chance to bathe in the bright light she used to shine on his life #OMG AND BIBI'S ENTRANCE!! junmo realizing her interest gives him leverage and agency but struggling to use it to his advantage #it's soooo messy and i'm obsessed #that funeral arc is gonna haunt me for years #as is the tension during the pat down which def was supposed to be like a gang pride/dignity/lack of power against the jp folks thing #also testing their relationship and responsibilites as leader subordinate #but felt charged around whether kicheol would protest or junmo would accept the manhandling in totally different 👀 ways #goddamn i wrote an essay and this doesn't even scratch the surface of the meat of the show #tldr; i have many many feelings and for once the 'love triangle' isn't making me gauge out my own eyeballs #it's about power it's about raising the stakes and revealing things about the characters w/o dominating the plot

"simon and marcia should be besties" SO true. They have so much in common

- stubborn to a fault, occasionally doing things just to spite the people who said they couldn't

- dramatic dressers with an eye for quality

- decided to become EOW, so there, at a very young age

- talented wizards, but also willing to put in the work

- but this random jumped up Heap boy whose only achievement in life is having six brothers is getting THEIR apprenticeship ANYWAY

- I must make him my mortal enemy

- oh no he's kinda just. a nice kid

- oh no. the horrors

YEAH LITERALLY. I need a fic of marcia looking at simon and seeing herself I rlly do. They r so similar

#sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #simon heap #asks #chaos-has-theories #I didn't tag ur other ask as that rip. I'll do it later #BUT YEAH I'M OBSESSED W THEM NOW #ALSO I truly believe marcia was the first person to forgive simon. Before sarah or silas or anyone #(lucy doesn't count she was on his side the whole time) #marcia is so willing to give ppl a second chance and honestly I think that would be smth rlly fun to see in simon too?? #ALSO simons line in magyk abt how number one in simon heaps life is definitely simon heap #I think that's. Rlly fun to compare to marcia #bc even when marcia was at her absolute lowest (right after the assassination+post dn1 etc etc) she was still thinking abt others #it's like she's incapable of putting herself first. And I think that's cool compared to simon #cool to compare to simon*

Hi I’m coming out of my hole and out from under my rock to say that the hozier song Francesca is so Marecal coded it’s like a sucker punch to my fooking gut. And don’t even get me started on how unknown/nth is for them in the epilogue of kings cage/war storm. Like… Francesca is so cal coded the whole series when he’s thinking about mare…. And unknown/nth is literally mare coded for him (and for her and maven at the end of RQ. I’ll give it to them).

Excuse me, have to go scream and cry and claw at my throat, and throw up over this fact and that I can literally imagine the edit for marecal for Francesca.

#red queen #glass sword #kings cage #war storm #marecal #(*shut up lily*) #cal calore #mare barrow #listen the first time I heard Francesca I immediately thought of cal #like I could only think of him with the line: my life was a storm since I was born?! how could I fear any hurricane?! #and those last 30-45 seconds of that song #holy shit I mean come on #the way it sounds like he’s saying: heaven is nothing to her #I swear to god #I am screaming and crying and throwing up #and clawing at the ground like an animal because of how much cal loves mare #and how this song exemplifies that so much #like it’s literally based on the most famous affair in history #and the man is literally saying he loved her so much he would suffer in hell for her just for the chance to love her like that again #excuse me #I just have to scream into my pillow

my best friend has been very distant w me lately and i asked today if she wanted to hang out and she said she probably couldn't bc it's her brothers birthday but she would let me know if she could and i have her location and i just looked and she's at her boyfriends house rn....

#we have it bc we're roomates so we started sharing locations when we first moved in like in case someone doesn't come home at night or smth #she recently told me that she wants to move out bc she has always wanted to live alone and she can finally afford it. and i asked her #directly like is there an issue because she is so non confrontational so she has never ever mentioned me doing anything that bothers her #and i said please tell me if there's something wrong because it would really suck if there was and i never got a chance to fix it because #you never told me. and she said no it has nothing to do with that i really just feel like it's time for me to live on my own. and a couple #days ago she was like okay i'm next in line for my apartment i'll probably move out in april. and i try to get her to hang out still and #she always has something else going on and i swear every night this week she's been at her boyfriends. #and if i see her around our apartment and try to make conversation at all she's so like short about it and barely responds like will only #give one word answers. i feel like it kind of started when i started dating e but i realized that i was spending less time with her and i #didn't want to be the girl that loses all my friends bc of a boyfriend so i started specifically reaching out to hang out with her and she #says no most of the time and never asks me. like i don't know what else i can do. #i'm like maybe it's bc of her boyfriend? bc they've been on again off again for a long time and previously when they were together it was #really distant with her like i barely saw her EVER. and they were mostly broken up for the past couple years and have been together i think #for a while again... but she knows i don't approve of that relationship and so she would like not say when they were talking again. so maybe #since lately they've been hanging out or dating or WHATEVER she doesn't fucking tell me what's going on with him. maybe that's why. #i literally like try to think of ways it could be my fault and maybe i'm being crazy but i cannot even think to blame myself for more than a #fleeting second bc i'm like. i have ASKED HER directly if there is an issue or something i do that bothers her and she says no. so even if #i'm somehow pissing her off would i ever know to change anything?? i just feel so frustrated bc it's like she's an entirely different person #to me. like this is not the person i know. and i don't know what else i could possibly do like i feel like we need to sit down and have a #conversation about it but what good does that do if she just acts like nothing is wrong. but i don't want to lose my friend i have such a #hard time making friends. i've known her since i was 14 like i can't imagine my life without her. we were the only two in our whole friend #group in high school to get out of the church i still love those other girls but we have so little in common now.

[starsandthorn]

read through alien space for star rail context and every frame himeko's in you can faintly hear me in the bg trying hard not to think about how much she looks like diluc

#personal stuff #delete later #remembering the reason i got into honkai in the first place was to see what similarities genshin might have inherited #and going oh yeah!! this is fun actually #anyway yeah. woe same hair color bangs and art style be upon ye. the little hair loopy is driving me crazy #don't get me started on the red eye that pepper mint has contrasted to the delusion. good night #the manga itself was really interesting though! i haven't read a whole lot of the honkai manga bc i don't know where to start really #like i've read azure waters bc i love my girl. and second key for gay people lore #but i haven't read any of the others i don't think #also REALLY funny to me who didn't finish apho 2. originally i thought welt's star rail experience was an isekai. #i honest to god thought void archives hit him with a train and he woke up on a different train #while funny. the actual reality has me head in hands. the image of star rail himeko that welt sees and recognizes her.....auuuugh. #and the very person who rescues him is the person he feels like he did wrong by lying to her. agh. #but yeah! i only knew a little bit abt himeko's dad based on what we're told early in game #so i originally speculated that genshin murata's father was the og pyro archon who died and she took his place #but now i'm not entirely sure. #chances are. since we've seen archons inherit the same Ideal along with their element. murata probably fought her predecessor #and took their place #ACTUALLY FUCK ME. WAIT. #LIBEN'S LINE ABOUT NATLAN . WAS HIM TALKING ABOUT OTHER WORLDS. #at first i thought it was just a cheap way for the developers to talk about their other new game and maybe it was BUT ALSO. #AND AT LEAST ONE MURATA WAS OBSESSED WITH GOING TO SPACE. #HMMMM #listen i am not all that excited for natlan purely on the basis that i know mhy is going to fuck up every character design #but plotwise maybe i am allowed a little bit of hope. lol #anyway void archives pretty. i get it now.

10 lines tag

thanks @megarywrites for the tag! idk exactly what the rules are but I'm going to give you the first lines of 10 chapters!

DaDBaB Past Timeline

Act 0, chapters 1–5:

The wagon stopped with a jolt, and Trip jerked awake. 

The hall of records wasn’t much to look at, mainly because it was dark.

Lya took the arm the boatman offered, holding her cloak out of the way with her other hand as she stepped over the gap between boat and flagstone.

Gerik ordered a firewater.

When the crier on the other side of the wall announced the Chosen of Tarinthe as the guest of honor, Lya swept into the banquet hall, shoulders back, eyes fixed firmly on the far wall. 

Act 2, chapters 1–5:

Trip trudged through the thick Tiresian jungle, tired and favoring his left leg.

The journey began early the next morning with a short ride on a rickety train that would stop in the small town of Sematey. After that, it would be into the wilderness.

It was on the morning of the fifth day that they found the door.

The silence and sameness of the city had crept slowly into Trip’s bones, far enough that he didn’t notice the temple until they were two rings deep.

Several aspects of the situation competed for his attention, amidst all the running.

tagging @baroquesse @theroseempress @sleepyowlwrites @e-s-willswriting and @zevarcoda to play based on your whims :)

#my writing #second chance wip #skipped right past act 1 bc it's a mess and idk where all the chapter divisions should even go #but this was actually so fun! noticing some trends in my first lines #and even the fact that I tend to start chapters from Trip's pov more often than Lya's? #I think they're pretty equally balanced as narrators but I alternate within chapters rather than between chapters so it's not every other #but also since theoretically the final product will have the past timeline interspersed in the present timeline #the first lines are meant to orient the reader pretty quickly since we might not be picking up where we left off #and I feel like they are for the most part #but idk I am still writing the past timeline mostly to tell myself the story in this draft so I'm not thinking too much abt that yet

funny how it's happened twice now that i had a falling out with an internet friend that resulted in them blocking me, and in both instances i was torn up about it for a while, but in the end it was what was best for me

#stuff and things #two nickels etc #first one was more of a classic bad guy like it was completely on me for even choosing to associate with him #second one was more insidious #was good for a very long time #then in the final year things changed #in the final two months i had ocular migraines during pms #when i had never had a single migraine before in my life #then they cut me off #and i haven't had one since #could be a coincidence #but i like to believe my body was telling me ''yup they were bad for your health good riddance'' #wish i had gotten the chance to line up a new friend group before they took the only one i had #but what can you do

[iggyfing]

BOY OBTAINED

#iggy plays #ffxiv #estinien #i forgot you could use second chance points to shuffle the sticker placement #so the first two weeks i got no lines #i was prepared to spend this week farming them to keep shuffling until i got a line #and then i got a line naturally without having to shuffle #anyway i need dinner bc i hyperfocused and now have every status ailment

for curious eyes here is a preliminary list of the various topics/sections i intend to cover in my 1-10 writeup

#umineko liveblog #this kept getting bigger and then in my notes i realised that if i follow one theory i stand a good chance of guessing the second twilight #hence why i'm making that prediction before the first bodies are even cold #some parts of this are obvious talking points even if i don't have enough evidence to be definitive rn #and the others are more thematic analyses because even in a chapter about finding dead bodies you can't neglect the themes #for reference all other writeups have had between 6 and 8 segments so this is gonna be a hefty document #despite that there is one silver lining. i will only be sad about shannon for one part of this writeup instead of 75% of it like last time #for the eagle eyed even this overview list should clue you in on where i'm at with my thinking and what i'm going to conclude #not sure how long this'll take to do but i'm hoping no more than between one and two weeks? #anyway i'll keep you posted with my progress

[britneyshakespeare]

The funniest diary entry I wrote as a freshman in high school was shortly after my friend from health class broke up with her boyfriend of like a year (so a very serious relationship for being that age), she was talking one day at lunch about how she wants to get a new boyfriend.

And she and our other friend were like "Well, who's cute?" And us all having been in the same health class (which had just ended, thos was early in the second semester) they brought up the name of this sophomore I sat next to. And he and I had a kind of... teenage social anxiety romance. We both clearly thought each other to be cute because we'd chat and smile and giggle while saying absolutely nothing, but we were so shy. But anyway since I had never had a boyfriend or felt I'd experienced even a mutual crush before, this was a very big deal to me.

But they brought him up first of ALL names, and I felt VIOLATED. My turf was being walked on. She didn't know I liked him I'm sure. But the two most iconic sentences from this day in my diary are:

"But damn. I thought I was actually almost sort of close to having a chance with him maybe. Damn."

"Come on, Hannah, I mean... you just had a boyfriend."

#tales from diana #i think i posted the 'you just had a boyfriend' thing before. i read it maybe a year ago & realized how funny it was #kaily and i quote it all the time #mom says it's my turn to have the boyfriend #like she's fuckin cuttin in line for seconds at the boyfriend buffet #and it's like some of us haven't even sat down yet!!! you pig!!! #save some cute boy for me! #selfish of her #but also that first sentence is hilarious for all the qualifiers in it. it's more qualifier than sentence. #i thought. almost sort of close to. a CHANCE. maybe. #i couldn't write that now as a comedic line of dialogue. that was how low my self worth was. this is what #i thought to be the odds of someone liking me. #COME ON HANNAH #neither of us dated him that's ok #i know he was afraid of girls he probably didn't have a girlfriend the rest of the school year #but i fell out of contact w him bc he was a grade above me #i actually did have another class w him two years later. and that crush did NOT revive. #i was in that long period of wondering why i didn't like anyone anymore #after having one serious sustained romantic interest that was like nothing i ever had before #and then by my senior year i realized i was (gray-)aromantic. i was like oooooooh #fuck. i don't wanna be that. #but now it's ok bc im hot and cool. happy ending yay
