MCYT ; songs that they associate with you
includes tommyinnit, tubbo, freddie badlinu, ranboo, quackity
warnings ; horrible music taste. Did a few for each of them lmaooo. also let's act like dmca doesn't exist on twitch or whatever. if schlatt can play Fleetwood Mac on stream then who cares yk
masterlist
Tumblr media
BADLINU
Kiss From A Rose ; Seal
You guys watched Batman Forever together and this song came on during credits. Life changing experience.
You had the DVD version with the music video bonus, that was being replayed for like twenty minutes
He has it on almost every playlist he has
He seems like the type of person to make a private, bad quality edit/music video of you two to it
Goosebumps ; Sorana
Dude this song perfectly reflected how he felt before you guys got together 🙏🙏
Plays this on stream when you're streaming with him for background noise.
Before you get together, he still plays it, just makes sure to not let you know that he feels that exact way about you.
Little inside joke between you two, it's kinda your song in a way
Editors love editing you guys to this song omg. They're always cute as hell too
TOMMYINNIT
FaceTime with my Mom (Tonight) ; Bo Burnham
You guys karaoke-d the shit out of this song on stream with Jack and Freddie.
It became a core memory for him. You were only friends at the time but it kinda made him realize that he wanted to be more than just your friend.
He actually FaceTimed his mom afterwards and she said hello to chat and everything
Little funny moment that he loves to think about
Someday (Remastered) ; Sugar Ray
He found this song on your older music playlist
He plays it a lot and thinks about you
Like daydreams that you're on a warm beach with all your friends and stuff
The song has like a warm, summery vibe to it so all summer he makes sure this comes up on your queue when streaming or in the car or whatever.
You guys probably dance around the living room to this song idk
TUBBO
Where The Lines Overlap ; Paramore
"No one is as lucky as us" REAL.
He cherishes you in his own special way yk?
He thinks he's so lucky to have you when you're surprised you could even pull someone, let alone him
Before you guys started dating, he saw an edit of you two to this song and he religiously watched it LMAO
You're both Paramore fans so this worked out perfectly.
Orange Show Speedway ; Lizzy McAlpine
the guitar sounds exactly how you feel to him if that makes sense
the happy nostalgia/dopamine rush kind of feel makes him all smiley and makes him think of you
he literally fell in love at a car speedway show that you two went to together for a little "first date" vlog so 🙏🙏🙏
it's just perfect idk man
RANBOO
Already Over ; Mike Shinoda
this song reminds me a lot of genloss so yk I had to include it here
but yeah, genloss vibes
reminds them a lot of yours and his genloss characters and their relationships and whatnot
when on set for s2 they listen to this on repeat bc your dynamic is so cool
although the viewers r desperately trying to kill you bc you're kind of at fault for genloss! rans trauma/predicament
they'll figure out that's not totally true tho
White Noise ; James Marriott
"I'd quite like to go home now" mother fucker you are his home :(
you're the "What's the point of having a friend when you're on your own in the end" outlook and they're the "I'll make an attempt knowing that I'll fuck it up" in a /pos outlook
you two go perfectly together
like two puzzle pieces, straight the fuck up
the cutest of dynamics
QUACKITY
Le Jardin ; La Femme
you guys watched Fresh together (10/10 btw)
this song came on halfway through and you soundsearched it and quickly dove into the la femme rabbit hole
he thought it was adorable cause you kind of understood the music but he understood completely
honestly got you into learning Spanish more
he literally only sees you listening to la femme to the point where he's a little concerned
you're just addicted to the paradigmes album you're fine
but he does play this on stream a lot just for you
editors go crazy after figuring out its always being played for you omg
Don't Want It ; Lil Nas X
holy shit this song goes hard
anyways yall always play this to get hyped up
he found an edit of you guys to this song and he thinks about it 24/7
literally the "people in my life should know I am not the old me" and the "wanted happiness, wanted forgiveness" duo
I can't explain it it's just vibes

Insights come, through original content
It's definitely worth the time, to watch as much original content as possible. BIG note to self.
I've watched all four seasons of Bon Voyage, and just finished the four years of Summer Package. Lots of stuff that I have seen bits and pieces of before, in a lot of compilation videos and "analysis" videos. VERY interesting to see all of it within it's original context, in each show.
Yeah, there's a bit of Jikookery as people call it, in some of it. Most of it I had seen out of context, during my first couple of years in the fandom (when I didn't have any idea about anything). There are a few moments here and there that I haven't seen before which are primarily touches, and super subtle stuff.
The interesting thing is how people have taken so many of those moments out of context to support a story that they are presenting, in their compilations or "analysis". Yes, it can be said that other parts of the fandom have done the same thing, for the same purpose.
One of the moments from BV in Malta that everyone has seen comes to mind, here as I type. It is when they are all at a restaurant, and Jimin and Jungkook are seated across from each other. They reach out at the same time, to offer a bite of food to each other. That is a favorite clip that j-kookers love to use, to prove their theory. I mean, I do think it is cute and sweet, and I do believe that Jimin and Jungkook are together (in a closeted relationship), I just think that it's really a disservice when people leave out the other part of that scene. You know, when Jimin is then offering bites of his food to the other members, too. It wasn't just a Jimin and Jungkook thing, like is portrayed in many of the YT videos I have seen...
The other things I noted are how the editing was just so chopped up and discombobulated at times. Like When you see Jimin literally sitting down right next to Jungkook and then suddenly it is edited and next thing you see is Jimin on the opposite side of the group, not sitting where he had just sat down a second before. lol... Yeah, there's a TON of that crappy editing in all of the series and shows. I'm guessing that as they got into 2017, 2018, 2019 that they had to do a lot more editing as Jimin and Jungkook kinda started being more open with their antics. lol...
I kind of understand why people like to create those videos over on YT. There's thousands of them probably, and literally millions of viewers who like that type of thing. I was one who watched a bunch of it, as I mentioned before. It was before I understood what a lot of it was, and before I understood how much manipulation there was.
What's next on tap for me? I'm not sure. There's a ton of content still for me to make my way through. It has been enlightening to say the least. I do see the shift in the way that Jimin and Jungkook were from the early years into 2019, from what I have watched so far. There's so much there that clearly shows that they had particular types of experiences with each other, behind closed doors. I mean, anyone who has ever had a lover would see it in their energy(if you sense or see energy) and in the way that they would touch each other. It is as clear as the sun in the sky.
I can only imagine the complexities that the members had to navigate in their relationships with each other, their communication of how they felt to each other, and in working out HOW to have two members in a close intimate relationship within the group. Talk about a complicated situation. That puts it mildly. No wonder Namjoon had so many moments when they were in front of cameras, audiences, interviewing and such. No freakin' wonder.
Sorry for this long ramble..... I've just been thinking a lot about them and about what I have seen in these shows. Like I have mentioned, I hadn't seen much of the original stuff that was on Weverse, sold on DVD, or behind pay walls. I didn't actually understand what the heck "Summer Package" meant! lol... There's a TON of content that I have still to watch. This will be an ongoing thing for me, during these months while we wait for June 2025. There's probably going to be more rambles like this one, to come.... 😁💜

"Satoru's Surprise" (Satoru Gojo x Fem Reader)
Hello once again! I managed to type up one more story before the night ends. Enjoy!
Synopsis: After Y/N had gone through an old box full of high school memories, she found an old DVD. After watching the film, she knew her love for Satoru never left.
Contains: PURE FLUFF ONCE AGAIN :3
Tumblr media
Y/N had always been a nostalgic person. She treasured the memories she'd made throughout her life, but one particular memory had been haunting her lately. It was the memory of her high school boyfriend, Satoru Gojo. They had been deeply in love, but life had taken them in different directions. After Suguru became a criminal, and Gojo having a difficult time with his best friend's different path, he had broken up with her.  She knew he needed time to himself, and she probably did as well. But because of that, she had decided to leave Japan after graduation and work on missions around the world. 
As the years progressed, they hadn't seen each other in a very long time, and as she watched her new friends fall in and out of love, Y/N couldn't help but wonder what had become of him.
One rainy afternoon, Y/N decided to clean out her old high school memory boxes. As she sifted through boxes of old letters, photographs, and trinkets, she stumbled upon an old DVD with a handwritten label that read, "Satoru's Surprise." Curiosity piqued, she dusted off the case the DVD was in, and popped the disc in her TV.
As the tape started playing, she saw Satoru, the man she fell for in high school. As she listed to his voice, she couldn't help but remember how it was filled with youthful excitement. "Hey there, beautiful. If you're watching this, you've just stumbled upon a treasure trove of memories. I thought it'd be a fun idea to make a recording for you, just in case we ever found ourselves missing each other." Now she knew why he carried around that camera everywhere they went.
Y/N's heart skipped a beat as she listened to his words, her eyes filling with tears. The DVD was filled with moments from their high school days – their first date, the time they'd watched a meteor shower together, and even their silly arguments. Satoru's voice filled the room, his laughter and sweet nothings echoing through the years. The memories flooded back, and Y/N couldn't help but smile and shed a few tears.
As Y/N continued to watch to the screen, it was as if she had been transported back in time to those precious moments with Satoru. She laughed at their inside jokes, teared up when he recounted their heartfelt conversations, and sighed with contentment as he talked about their dreams for the future. This was a time capsule of their love, capturing the essence of their young and passionate romance.
As the recording reached its conclusion, Satoru's voice became more serious. "I don't know where life will take us, Y/N, but I hope we'll always hold on to the love we have right now. No matter where we are or what we're doing, remember that there's a piece of my heart that belongs to you."
Y/N was overwhelmed with emotions. She had longed to hear Satoru's voice for years, and now, thanks to this unexpected discovery, she felt like he was right there with her. It was as if they had been reunited through time and space.
After the tape ended, Y/N sat in silence for a few moments, her heart beating with anticipation. She wondered if Satoru was thinking of her, too, and if he still held a piece of her heart as well. With a deep breath, she picked up her phone and dialed his number, hoping he would answer.
To her surprise, he picked up on the first ring. "Y/N?" His voice was practically the same, which sent shivers down her spine.
"Satoru," she breathed, feeling her cheeks flush with emotion. "I just found your dvd you made for me. I...I had to call you."
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Y/N wondered if she had made a mistake. Maybe it was too late for them, and they had both moved on with their lives. But then Satoru spoke, his voice filled with longing.
"Y/N, I've missed you. I've thought about you every day since we last saw each other. I know I was the one who ended things, but I still thought about you all the time.”
Y/N's heart swelled with hope. Maybe they still had a chance.
"I've missed you too, Satoru," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't stop thinking about you, even after all these years."
There was a moment of silence, and then Satoru spoke again, his voice laced with determination.
"Then let's not waste any more time. Let's meet up, Y/N. Let's see if what we had is still there."
Y/N's heart leaped with joy at his words, and she couldn't help but smile.
"I'd like that," she said softly.
And so, they made plans to meet up in Tokyo within a few days, at the same spot where they had shared their first kiss. Y/N couldn't help but feel nervous as she stepped off the plane that morning and made her way to the meeting spot. What if they had both changed too much? What if they didn't feel the same connection they once did?
But as she turned the corner and saw him standing there, his signature white hair and sharp features bathed in the soft glow of the sunlight, all her doubts melted away. Satoru turned towards her, his eyes locking on hers, and for the first time in years, Y/N felt like she was home.
They embraced tightly, their bodies pressed together, and Y/N breathed in his scent, a mixture of cologne and something that was uniquely him.
"I've missed you so much," Satoru murmured into her ear, and Y/N felt her eyes fill with tears.
"I've missed you too," she whispered back, her heart racing as their bodies pressed closer together. For a moment, they just stood there, lost in each other's arms, and it seemed like time had stood still.
As they pulled away from each other, Satoru took Y/N's hand and led her to a nearby park. They sat on a bench, surrounded by cherry blossoms, their fingers intertwined. Satoru looked at Y/N, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions: longing, regret, and hope.
"I'm sorry, Y/N," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry for everything that happened between us. I should have fought harder to keep us together. Just- everything felt like it was caving in all at once"
Y/N shook her head, her fingers tightening around his. "It's not your fault, Satoru. We both made mistakes. I shouldn’t have left Japan, and stayed doing missions here."
They sat in silence for a few moments, just enjoying each other's company and the beauty of the park. Then, Satoru turned towards her, his eyes shining with determination.
"I don't want to let go of you again," he said. "I want us to try again, to make new memories, and to see if the love we once had can be rekindled."
Y/N smiled, her heart soaring with happiness. "I want that too, Satoru. I've never stopped loving you."
And so, under the cherry blossoms in that serene park in Tokyo, Y/N and Satoru decided to give their love a second chance. They had both grown and changed over the years, but their connection remained as strong as ever. As they leaned in for a kiss, it felt like a promise of a new beginning, a chance to rewrite their love story.
The world around them disappeared, and in that moment, it was just the two of them, surrounded by the memories of their past and the hope of a future together. They had found each other again, and this time, they were determined not to let go.
As they kissed under the cherry blossoms, the world seemed to come alive with possibilities, and Y/N knew that their love story was far from over. It was a story of second chances, of rekindled love, and of two souls who had always belonged together.
And so, with the memories of their high school love rekindled and a bright future ahead, Y/N and Satoru began their journey to rebuild what they had lost and create new, beautiful memories together.

SEX WITH A GHOST - tate langdon x fem!reader (smut)
CW: begging, fingering, nipple kissing, dirty talk, p in v penetration, cumming
SUMMARY: you and tate have been best friends for a year now but you secretly had a crush on him. you knew he was a ghost so you never told him. one day he found out about you secret diary.
Tumblr media
“hey y/n” tate called you from downstairs. “shall we watch a horror movie tonight?” he asked you cheerfully. you shouted a quick “yes!” and you went downstairs with your best friend tate.
“what about the shining?” tate asked. he knew you loved that type of horror movies but he also knew you loved more splatter movies.
“mmh, what about nightmare instead?” he asked again.
“yes! which movie?”
“the first one, obviously” he said.
“first I have to bring the DVD, I’ll be right back!” tate said while leaving and going upstairs.
you waited for tate for about 10 minutes, then you finally decided to go upstairs and check.
“tate? are you okay?”
“tate?!” you screamed looking for him. you arrived at your room’s door and opened it.
“tate! I’ve finally found you… what are you doing?” you said while noticing a strange notebook in his hands.
tate didn’t respond, he just kept looking at it so you walked towards him and sat next to him.
“that’s my diary… tate give it back to me!” you screamed and tate stood up, still reading those pages.
“tate!” you tried to grab your diary but tate started to run in the room - he even walked on your bed to avoid letting you have it back.
then tate finally spoke - “I’ve never really understood what was love until I realized I was falling in love with my best friend” he read from your diary. you stopped running and so tate did too. he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at you.
“you like me? I mean, beyond just a friendship?” he asked. tate looked so cute in the moment, his stare made you feel guilty somehow.
“tate… I- it was just- I don’t- I think I like you… yes, I do.” you responded feeling extremely embarrassed and you lowered your head watching your feet.
tate spoke about twenty seconds later - “I like you too, y/n” he said. you immediately raised your head and looked at him.
“what?” you smiled nervously but instantly got serious again.
“I said I like you back” tate said. you couldn’t believe those words. you were staring at tate confused so he realized he had to do something.
he stood up and slowly walked towards you. he looked at your lips and smirked. then he sweetly kissed them. you put your hands on tate’s chest then you slowly let them slide up to his nape.
tate grabbed your hips and brought them closer to his. you let yourself softly moan at that move, then you started kissing tate again. the kiss slowly began to become rougher and you guys fell on the bed. tate grabbed your t-shirt and he quickly took it off and threw it on the floor. you did the same thing with tate’s. in a couple of seconds both of your clothes were on the room’s floor, the only piece of cloth whom was separating your bodies was your panties.
tate started to kiss your neck, then he got lower and kissed your chest. you moaned when you felt his tongue softly touching your nipple. tate arrived at your belly and kissed it, then he finally kissed your pussy through your panties.
“tate… I’m begging you, please…” you couldn’t keep yourself together in that moment. you were 100% vulnerable.
“do you really want it?” he sexily whispered.
“yes…” you wanted to scream that word but you were too breathless to do so.
tate looked at you and took off your panties. he suddenly entered his fingers into your entrance and deeply pushed inside. you moaned out loud and silently thanked god because your parents weren’t home.
“I wonder how many times you dreamed about this moment” he said into your ear. you shamelessly replied “too many times”.
tate smiled and looked at you arching your back under his touch.
“god!” you screamed. you were about to cum onto his fingers but tate suddenly stopped and took them off you.
“what are you doing? tate please…” you said while letting your head falling on the pillow.
“beg for my mercy, y/n, and I’ll make you feel full with my cock” he whispered into your ear, definitely letting you getting wet again.
“please tate, please… have mercy on me” tate looked at you and he possessively grabbed your head, making you kiss him violently.
“I like it rough” he said while filling you with his well-sized dick. you whined and desperately grabbed tate’s back. he pushed deeply and hard, over-exciting you.
you twisted your legs around tate’s lower back. his thrusts became rougher soon and you both orgasmed.
“it was amazing… unique” you said exhausted looking at him.
“I guess you tried something new”.
“what do you mean?” you asked confused while catching your breath.
tate grabbed the blankets and covered both of your naked bodies. he kissed your forehead and said smirking - “you just had sex with a ghost”.
reminder: requests are always open and you can request about whoever you want. I consider any type of headcanons/one shots/stories/smuts/matchups!
+ I accept any kind of tip about my writing/grammar and also about the structure of the imagine/preferences post.

Steps To Take Before You Donate:
A guide from someone who works at a thrift store and has seen some things. This is generalized and not specific to the store I work at.
The first step for ALL of these sections is to look at what you have. Is it something you would give to a friend or relative? No? Then don’t donate it. (Examples of things not to donate: moldy clothes, a soiled pair of pants, sticky dishes, broken mirror)
Clothes and Linens (aka soft lines)
Look to see if your clothes are wet, moldy, or have bodily fluids on them. These types of items will end up at the landfill if you donate them. Just save employees the horror and throw away your own garbage
Don’t donate used underwear or socks, but bras are fine
If the clothes are dirty, wash them (please)
If you want to be super helpful to processors, separate halloween costumes and shoes into different bags or boxes. These items all get processed separately in stores
Donate it even if its ‘poor quality’. Clothing not sold in stores gets sent to textile recyclers
All of this applies to linens (such as blankets and sheets) as well
Electronics
If you have any large items, call the store ahead of time to make sure they are willing to take it. Not all stores have big warehouses for large items. If not, try a different store or chain
Check for any chewed on, or exposed wire. Thrift stores can’t sell these items for safety purposes
If you don’t have a wire or charger for the electronic, ensure that it will stay with the item (tape or rubber bands will work well for this) if an item can’t be tested in store to see if it works, it will not be sold in a typical retail store. It will likely be sent straight to an outlet store
If you are planning on donating a TV (small or big) call the store first, some are able to take them and some are not. Check with them first so they don’t have to turn you away after you get there
If the computer doesn’t work completely, donate it anyway, most thrift stores send them to get refurbished and their memory wiped
Books/Media
Do your books have mold on them or are the pages damp? Don’t donate them
Are the disks so scratched up that they don’t play? Don’t donate them
Stores do accept VHS tapes and cassettes!
If you are donating a bunch of loose disks without cases, keep them together in a bag or a box
If you only have a case for a game (NOT DVD), donate it! People actually buy those
Separate your books and media from other items you are donating, as these get processed separately
Shoes (usually sorted into hard lines but may vary depending on the chain)
If your shoes have bodily fluids on them, or even just some left over dog poop, either clean them or don’t donate them. No one wants to touch that
Even if your shoes have been worn to hell and back (and are not gross), donate them! Just like clothes, if they aren’t sold, most stores will recycle them
Do your best to keep pairs together! Either in a box, tie the laces together, or use a rubber band!
(We do actually love getting shoes donated in their boxes - it makes it a lot easier to sort than a giant garbage bag full of loose shoes)
If you aren’t sure what category shoes fall into at the store you are donating to, just ask! We would much rather that than find shoes in unexpected places!
Furniture
Does it require repairs? Don’t donate it, try a local yard sale site instead
Is it big? Call ahead and make sure the store has space for it
Not every store accepts mattresses/beds/bed frames. Call ahead and ask
If you have a rug, has an animal gone to the bathroom on it? Yeah? Don’t donate that
Side note: if you just bought a big piece of furniture from a thrift store, bring some buddies to help you pick it up. And a big enough vehicle. Our donation door workers are still people and can only do so much to move a giant glass table and fit it into your kia soul when you decide to pick it up 30 minutes before we close
Other Items (aka hard lines)
If a baby is meant to sit or lay in the item, we can’t sell that for safety reasons, even if its brand new
Some stores will sell helmets if they are in good condition, but not all stores. Double check before you drop them off
If you are donating dish ware or china, make sure it is washed and clean. No one wants to touch sticky mixing bowls with a mysterious substance inside
Wrap your dishes or any fragile items and place them in boxes, it helps make sure they dont break before they get processed
If its broken, don’t donate it. Think: is this something I would give a friend?
Put your jewelry together and separate from other items. That way we dont only find one earing
No already lit or used candles that are more than halfway gone, find ways to up cycle them, or see if a friend would like them instead!
No one wants your used bedroom toys. Please no. Im begging you just throw them away if you dont want them
If there are nails sticking out of it, or someone could get hurt on it, wrap it and write a note. Same goes for knives. I can’t even begin to express how many times I’ve almost cut off a finger while reaching into a box of donations
Other Tips
If its sticky, wipe it down
If its fragile, put it in a box not a bag
If its sharp, wrap it
If its multiple pieces, tape it or find a way to keep it all together before you donate it
If you aren’t sure if a store will take it, just call and ask!

Who in ateez is most likely to prank their s/o or another member
Thanks for the ask! I think the order would be somewhat similar for pranking each other, just the likelihood exponentially increased 💀🤭😂
Most likely to prank you:
Most: Wooyoung, Yunho, Jongho
Middle: Yeosang, Hongjoong, Mingi
Least: Seonghwa, San
Wooyoung is a little stinker and he loves attention, so if you aren’t paying him any he’ll probably mess with you! Or just tease you for a reaction 😘 but he never takes it too far, he likes things like flirtatiously taking things from you or if you’re shorter hiding things away where he can reach them. He also adores sneaking up on you and startling you 🥲 Yunho is more the type to come up with a reallllly convincing story then see you repeat something ridiculous to someone else and laugh or tell you the wrong name for something to hear you say something funny. For physical pranks it’s more like spontaneously hoisting you into his arms and running off with you, offering to feed you then letting a little whipped cream smash on your face, little playful things like that. Jongho is the most traditional prankster where he will set up an actual practical joke like sneakily buying a Halloween decoration that startled you and hiding it to laugh at your reaction again. He also is guilty of having set up scares for you just so he can comfort you 🤕
Yeosang tends to be more verbal with it, like he enjoys teasing or exposing you, but this is all in the same vein so I think that from time to time he’d enjoy reaching over and messing with a task you were doing or grabbing the controls on a game you were playing and giving his little laugh when you pout or call out his name on response 😁 The others probably convince him to try the whipped cream on hand prank when you guys have been sharing a bet for long enough so he shrugs and goes ok, why not? Hongjoong can be a little bit of a stinker when his goofy side comes out, so he doesn’t do it as often but I think he would also be the type to do things like stealing your game pieces. That or he gets extremely creative and tell you you’re watching a scary movie but he just, like, printed out the dvd insert for one and put it over the barbie movie or something. He really doesn’t like potentially harmful pranks, like the most he would do is sneak up on you and startle you. Mingi, like Yeosang, kind of takes input from the others, like they ask him wouldn’t it be funny if he put plain water or lemon juice in a can of your favorite drink and took a lil video of your reaction? And he’s like ooh yeah I guess you’re right! And that’s how he ends up with that video of you making a hilarious scrunched up face on his phone. If you go to a haunted house, he’ll jokingly grab you and use you as a human shield.
Seonghwa is not one for practical jokes and screwing with you very much. He is very sweet to you and doesn’t like to see you even potentially upset or uncomfortable. The most he would do is, like Yunho, get messy feeding you or do something like a corny hallmark Christmas movie flour fight when you guys bake 🤍 San is the same way, also very emotional and he hates feeling too teased or bullied, so he doesn’t want to turn that feeling on you! He much prefers making you feel protected and safe so it’s more likely someone else messes with you and San pulls you close and tells them to stop, chest puffing out a little. Every now and again he’ll get you with some teasing banter or grab your phone and take selfies on it, those are his version of ‘pranks’ 🥰

can you please do a Lloyd X half dragon and half Oni reader basically the reader mom is a Oni and the reader dad is a dragon the reader looks like a Oni with dragon wings and tail and the reader normally hides what she looks like because she is a bit insecure when the reader started to date Lloyd he could tell that the reader wasn't human so could the others suspicions where proven right after they see a photo of what the reader actually looks like and Lloyd just think that the reader is beautiful and that he doesn't know why the reader hides it and when he asks the reader why she hides what she actually looks like the reader says that she insecure and she scared about how people would react to it and Lloyd convert the reader by saying that he loves the reader no matter what and the reader shows Lloyd what she actually looks like and Lloyd just cuddles the reader and says that he loves her no matter what she is (both Lloyd and the reader are immortal the reader doesn't hide what she looks like in her community)
Here you go! :)
Word count: 817
Ninjago - Lloyd Finding Out You're a Dragon-Oni Hybrid
The smell of popcorn wafted through your apartment. You listened to the rapid popping from your living room, where you were busy setting out enough blankets and pillows to make a bed of thorns comfortable. Just about every square inch of the place was covered by a blanket, a pillow, or a plushie. You put your hands on your hips, admiring your work with a smile.
You rushed to the kitchen, just in time to pull the popcorn off the stove. You poured it into a big bucket, completing a set of three such containers already filled with popcorn. You sprinkled salt over the buckets, tasting a piece from each one to make sure it tasted okay. It was, of course, delicious. You had to stop yourself from eating more.
Popcorn popped, chilled sodas waiting on the counter, living room cozied up—everything was ready for the perfect movie night.
As if on cue, a knock sounded at your door. You hurried to open it, a broad smile already on your face to greet your friends. “Hi guys! Come on in, everything’s ready.”
“Oooh, I can smell the popcorn!” Cole shoved past his friends, eager to dig into the snacks already.
“Don’t eat it all before we even start the movie,” Kai warned, hurrying after him.
“Speaking of,” you said, “what movie did you pick out?”
“It was my turn,” Nya grinned proudly, holding up the DVD. “Naturally I chose Friday the 13th.” 
Jay shivered. “Which I’m not looking forward to.”
“Come on,” Nya cooed, putting her arm around him. “It’s not that scary. Besides, it’s halloween! We’ve gotta watch something spooky.”
You grinned at the couple, making your way to the kitchen. Waving everyone out, you ordered them to get comfortable and cue the movie up. You would bring the snacks in for them.
You were pouring sodas into cups with ice when you heard Jay yelp.
“No way!”
Suddenly, everyone stood up and crowded into the corner of the living room. You raised an eyebrow, wondering what they could be looking at. With a sinking feeling, you remembered what was in that corner. You knew exactly what they were buzzing about. It was a picture of you in your true form; your dragon-Oni form. The one you really didn't want them to know about.
Hastily putting down the soda can you were holding, you scurried over to them. You squeezed between your friends and seized the framed picture. “Cool cosplay, right?” You chuckled nervously, trying to salvage the situation. “The horns and wings are super realistic, huh? They’re fake, though. Fake. Yeah,” you floundered, shoving the picture under the TV stand.
Your efforts were to no effect. Jay dove for the photo and pulled it out again. Your shoulder slumped in defeat as they all gathered around him to look at the picture again.
“Why didn’t you tell us you were… a dragon? Or are you an Oni? I can’t tell.”
“It would appear that Y/n is some type of hybrid,” Zane guessed.
“Yeah,” you sighed. “Half dragon, half Oni.”
“Well, that would explain why you’re so tall,” Nya observed.
Lloyd took the picture from Jay’s hands. You felt your face redden as he scrutinized it. You couldn’t tell if he was horrified or disgusted or—
“You’re really beautiful,” he breathed, not looking up from the image. He looked up to meet your dumbfounded gaze, his cheeks dusted pink and a smile playing on his lips. “Is this your true form?”
You blinked. Nodded slowly despite your thorough confusion.
“Why don’t we ever see you like this?”
“I… I didn’t want to scare you guys. I feel like I’m sort of, er, scary when I’m… like that.”
“Scare us?” Lloyd looked back at the picture, still smiling. “You could never. Not when you’re this pretty.” 
Lloyd set the picture down and took your hand. “Can I see you in your true form?”
The way his eyes twinkled made it impossible to refuse. You were still a little nervous, but you shoved those feelings aside as you remembered his words. Encouraging looks from the rest of the group convinced you. “Alright,” you muttered reluctantly.
“Wow,” Lloyd said after a second. “Even more stunning in person.”
You smiled shyly. “You mean it?”
“I do.” He took your hands in his, pecking your ruddy cheek. “Shall we watch the movie now?”
You distributed the snacks before taking a place next to Lloyd. He pulled you so that you were leaning against him, his arms around you, your head just below his chin. You could barely focus on the movie from how happy you were. Not only had your friends reacted positively to your “scary” form, but Lloyd reacted positively. He thought you were beautiful. You smiled giddily as his words replayed over and over in your mind. Beautiful. Pretty. Perhaps you’d take this form more often around him.

.......sooooooo, i saw @stiffyck (and friends)s mermaid au.......
Tumblr media
According to the contract i signed, every art piece has to come with 6 paragraphs of rambling, so here ya go. 
8 year old me (obsessed with mermaids, would play 'mermaids' in our pool with other kids, huge huge fan of every 'protag. of childrens animated show gets special necklace that lets them turn into a mermaid' show) would absolutely love where i am now. Mermaids were a big part of my childhood! I loved 'em! And i guess i never grew out of that, lmao.
Jake and the neverland pirates, barbie, dora the explorer, sofia the first... they all did it. they all had the 'human girl turns into mermaid for an episode and meets a mermaid bff'. I always loved the Dora one, i got it on DvD from my local library... good times :)
Anyways, if this was a special episode of a looking-back-the-graphics-were-terrible-but-the-music-kinda-slaps 2010's 3d animated disney channel show, Scar would 1000% have a misunderstood-villain-esque song where he maneuvers Grian (about to pass out from terror) into a dance and mourns his lack of company, complete with fish themed puns every other line, a big finish, and effects made of bubbles and sea creatures. Like, poor unfortunate souls from the little mermaid meets shiny from moana meets be our guest type beat.
I like to imagine the bubbles are the tail end of a transition to a comedic scene where grian is distracting the guards with terrible lies while scar tries to sneak into the castle where grian plans to hide him. and then the guards would almost turn and see scar and grian would have to yell 'WAIT' and come up with more bs while scar is struggling with various Shenanigans that get in his way.
i have very,, very specific thoughts about this au (if it were a kids tv show, lmao) Can You Tell :D
Idk man, i just love mermaids, this AU, kids TV nostalgia, and satisfying my inner child even though i am Way off from what this AU was originally intended as. Anyways see yall ✌️

„I can never decide if Steph is the coolest or nerdiest person in all of Blackwell. Maybe both? She's definitely queen of the indoor kids, with all their weird roleplaying games and sci-fi shit.I guess her dad is a video editor. She makes some sweet cash by selling bootleg DVDs. Don't knock the hustle. And I'm pretty sure Steph does all the backstage technical work for the school plays, which checks out. Another thing about Steph: she's into girls, and she doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks about it.“ - a special walking weirdo about Steph
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Friends describes Steph as a "restless type" and as "queen of the nerds" who has grown her passion for tabletop role-playing since her time at Arcadia Bay. Moreover, she's characterized as a "creative force of nature" and as a "queer and proud, musical, nerdy powerhouse.
Steph was born in Oakland, California but was raised in Arcadia Bay, Oregon. After graduating from Blackwell, Steph moved to Seattle, Washington to study video game design but ended up being pulled into the art and music scene there, and teamed up with her then girlfriend Izzie to form the two-piece punk band Drugstore Makeup, with Steph on drums. The band eventually wound up in Haven Springs, Colorado playing at the local bar the Black Lantern. Steph ended up falling in love with the small town and its charm and decided to remain there. Her passion for music ended up landing her a job at Rocky Mountain Record Traders becoming both the store's manger and the local radio DJ.

My favourite Disney movie ౨ৎ
A review written by Cel
Tumblr media
I finally decided to write my love and thoughts about this movie after never finding enough words for it. Tangled is the first 3D animated Disney movie with a disney princess and was their animated studios' 50th movie. It is loosely based on the german fairytale "Rapunzel" by the brothers Grimm from the early 1800s. Some of Disney's previous disney princess movies had also been based on the brothers Grimm fairytales. As we can see in the animated movie we're introduced to this kingdom called Corona, this place is based on the german culture and architecture along with some characters' names. The music is written and composed by the infamous Alan Menken, whom I've admired his work for as long as I can remember, he has composed for Disney multiple times such as the soundtrack for The Little Mermaid. I officially became a fan of him earlier last year when I started watching Tangled's sequel series "Rapunzel's tangled adventure" where he had also composed the music, I definitely recommend watching it if you really enjoyed the movie. One would assume it is some type of spin-off but surprisingly it connects with all the details from the original movie.
Tumblr media
To start off with my love for this: I was never a big fan of this movie as a little kid as I am right now. Of course I knew all the words to the songs and the storyline, but I was more of a Cinderella and Frozen kid. Even so, this movie was still on repeat on my family's TV most of my childhood and I safely assume the DVD got ruined because of how much it played.
Tangled is my favourite Disney movie and have been for a very long time. I don't remember when it really got to me, but it was always a comfort movie I could watch all the time if I felt bored or didn't have any movie choices in mind. After watching it atleast once a month (unaware of the amount of rewatches), I felt emotionally attached to it and I knew I could relate to Rapunzel. She is a witty, creative, and curious 18 yr old girl who had been trapped in a tower for most of her life without knowing the true meaning about it. My favourite relatable thing about her is the amount of hobbies she mentions in "When will my life begin?". Disney did really well showing domestic abuse and passive aggression from mother Gothel, us as the viewers already know that she's the bad guy in the story but Rapunzel doesn't which makes her relationship with her feel so natural. Her realisation is one of my favourite scenes because of the recollection of her early memories. I feel the intention of this was to help young children who watches it would maybe realise if they are actually being treated badly and neglected. Of course a young kid wouldn't pick up the bits and pieces that fast but it is easy for someone to think their treatment and relationship with their parents are natural which is the same case with Rapunzel.
Tumblr media
Now with Rapunzel's romance that I am very fond of. If you really think about the time Rapunzel and Eugene spent together and the ending of the movie, it is quite weird how they just got married already. They met a day before her 18th birthday, he was on the run and she wanted to see the "floating lights". The fact that Eugene was canonically 26 years old in the movie which can seem pretty weird, but in the series they reveal he was 23 as he turns 26 at the end of the last season. I love how they didn't make them flirty at the start of their friendship which obviously would be natural for two strangers and especially for a girl who's never talked to another human being other than her mother. Flynn Rider, the name Eugene went by, was not happy with this trip he had to do if he wanted his satchel back. It's just wholesome to watch them progress throughout the movie and the way their feelings begins to develop. I like to think Rapunzel admired him from the start, as Eugene fell for her later on. If their relationship had a trope I would definitely say the "she fell first, but he fell harder" trope. In the sequel series, they start the story some months (i think) after Rapunzel returned to her real parents. But she and Eugene hasn't been married yet, she actually said no first because she felt insecure and was still trying to be used to her new life. Their relationship took years with complicated feelings and miscommunication which is one of the best parts of the series. Me personally would've said "yes" right away to Eugene. He is probably the most handsome and dare I say best Disney man. I mean they did put a group of women at the studio to work out his best design..
This is definitely the best animated movie among Disney for me, every scene is just satisfying to watch and it's like letting your brain rest for over an hour. They captured such beautiful moments in animation and perfected it so well with dialogue and music. One of my biggest dreams would be to watch this on a big screen with a live orchestra, and possibly Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi sing too.
Tumblr media
I also want to address the live action of Tangled because of the current rumours about the castings. As far as I know, Disney hasn't fully confirmed that the live action is in the works and everything so far is just rumours or assumptions. Only a few days ago 1-2 articles had been found informing that Disney has reportedly casted Avantika Vandanapu and Milo Manheim as Rapunzel and Eugene. This caught a huge amount of attention and controversy on social media, and my biggest problem with this is how people actually believe it. I really thought we were past believing absolute everything we see on the internet, especially from websites we've never gotten information from. Because why would a website almost no one reads suddenly have Disney's thoughts of their cast? Worst is the people believing this and being racist about it. Avantika had never been a choice in my fancast for Rapunzel as she doesn't fit her description, but that does NOT mean she shouldn't be allowed to play her as there are plenty versions of white Rapunzels from before. The people using this casting to compare it with saying "Tiana/Moana should be played by a *white woman*" are who annoy me the most in this situation. I've had multiple arguments with different people the past couple of days because of stating how comparing those two are not fair and the inaccurate casting isn't the same difference. First of all: Tiana's appearance and storyline are based on her skin colour and culture as she's an afro-american woman from the 1920s in New Orleans. In parts of her movie her "background" even gets represented as a problem for her to achieve her dream, this movie is obviously made to represent our beautiful black people in the world. Shocked they didn't get a representation until 2009. Second: Moana is based FULLY on polynesian culture and through polynesian mythology, even her voice actor was encouraged to be a part of that. Auli'i Cravalho, her voice actor, is native Hawaiian and encourages their culture along with the music Lin Manuel Miranda wrote. At last: Comparing this rumoured Rapunzel casting to Tiana or Moana is wrong as her story isn't meant for representation of oppression and not based on her skin colour. Yes, it is loosely based on the brothers Grimm's fairytale which is German and the movie does show German details in the story but things will always change and they already are. Why not let today's children grow up with beautiful characters that can let them feel as included as every white person can with the previous characters? I can say this has never been a problem to me growing up even though none of the disney princesses looked like me, it still makes children aware of it at some point and when I realised I didn't have a disney princess that looked or was based remotely on people like ME, I began hoping Disney would make a south-east Asian princess. That's why I agree that Disney should start making new disney princess movies representing more people instead of not having an accurate casting for the character but honestly, Rapunzel's SKIN colour is not that relevant to her story at all. Anyway, my fancast for Tangled has always been Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim after watching the Zombies movies. They have great chemistry and both of them sing perfectly! I'm excited to see how this live action movie will turn out, after Halle Bailey's "The Little Mermaid" I hope it will be as amazing.
Tumblr media
My love for Tangled is endless but to finish my review I want to thank you for reading all the way down here. If I was only allowed to watch one movie the rest of my life I might have chosen this or a 2-3 hour long just to be entertained longer. The amount of times I've watched this has made me able to recite most of the scenes and the whole film is engraved to my mind. I think if I had enough time and peace I could literally sit still and watch the movie scene by scene in my mind. Again, thank you for reading!

Recently I've made some interesting and surprising findings about mor that seem lesser known in the fandom (or maybe I just don't dig deep enough) Also I accidentally hit ctrl z while almost finishing up the post that I spent the past hour or so typing and it deleted most of what I've typed......... with tears I retyped everything again SIGH (resulting in me not proofreading any of this) 1. So I remember seeing somewhere that says mor has both Mozart and Salieri's compositions, which I thought it was false because it's all Mozart as far as I know. Until one day I actually looked at the credit a bit closer and found this:
Tumblr media
This is the music that plays before victime de ma victoire. Mozart wrote fortepiano variations at 17 years old of Salieri's aria, so they really just used Mozart's version of Salieri's piece from one of his most popular operas???? It made me kind of mad but also this felt like a meta commentary considering it's associated with victime de ma victoire scene. It's a self aware song where Salieri is regretting, trying to come to terms of what he's done, and 'predicting' his failure. It serves as a commentary of the whole Mozart and Salieri matter beyond the scope of the show and ends in "J'ai perdu pour l'Histoire (I lost for history)." In this case it does feel like Salieri is being pushed aside in one of the worst possible ways, and I really wish some of his music could have made their ways into the musical properly. 2. I found a Playbill article talking about mor being in the middle of being adapted into English for Broadway in 2012...... which honestly I'm really glad it failed because I don't have faith that it'd be good. There's already the example of tdv, and the way they talk about it just doesn't seem... great, such as “bring shape and focus to the musical for American audiences” and "When the French write musicals, a lot of their songs are written like pop singles placed contiguous to each other, while on Broadway, it's necessary to have a storyline and a semblance of relationship.” Pop French musical isn't everyone's cup of tea and that's of course normal but the way it sounds like they're going to really Americanize it and rewrite it majorly and by storyline and relationship I take they mean needing musical motifs, reprises, and such. Just makes me feel they should just write a whole new musical?? And maybe it's just me but the tone sounds a little patronizing too? Though I do wish they could have released the cd and dvd in North America just because I'm Canadain lol Also curious if there was a time staging mor in Quebec would have been viable. 3. I spend too much of my time watching mor clips, but I've somehow never looked at performances pre proshot until recently. There were a few changes in the ~2 month (if my memory serves) between premiere and first proshot made to vivre a en crever that surprised me. First 2 screenshots from this video, and the rest from this one.
Tumblr media
First of all, no handshake at on se reverra???? It's giving 2 bros chilling in the hot tub 5 feet apart cuz they're not gay
Tumblr media
This is a little hard to see but Salieri is kneeling beside the wall as Mozart departs and it had me screaming ;; I know Laurent did kneel but I didn't know it was a thing in the French tour. This video gives a sliiiightly clearer silhouette of him kneeling but he's also blocked by Cavalieri.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Constanze running up to grab Mozart and refuse to let him go really had me by surprise and it's so heart breaking ;;;; I've been debating whether I like this better or the one that they ended up using where she just reaches out to him from the bed, because it kind of changes the tone of the scene.
Anyway thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. There's so many analysis posts I'd like to do but I simply don't have the energy to.... but if anyone wants to talk about analysis I'm more than happy to ramble lol

What is cinematography? Hannibal edition
We know Hannibal often gets cited for its beautiful cinematography. But what does that mean, exactly?
If we talk about the cinematography of an episode, we're talking about the decisions that went into making each shot and scene and episode look just right. It's helpful to remember that at its most basic level, film (or television) is just about using some sort of camera equipment to photograph light. And when you do that, there are a ton of variables affecting the way that recorded light is going to look when you play it back.
Tumblr media
Hannibal gets it.
Cinematography means: "We've got these amazing actors performing this great story in this scenic location, now how do we light and photograph all this stuff so that it looks exactly the way we want?"
And this is super important, because of course, the way a scene or shot looks is going to deeply affect what it makes us think and feel.
Elements of cinematography:
Lighting
Types of cameras and lenses, and how you use them
Shot distance (how close you place the camera for each shot)
Shot composition (figuring out where to place everything in each shot, including actors)
Use of color, brightness, shadow, contrast (very important in a "dark" show like this)
Camera movement
Camera angles
Depth of focus (do we want to clearly see everything that's in the shot? or do we want to have things in focus and others out of focus? should the focus change during the shot or stay the same?)
So really, when we say that a show has beautiful cinematography, we more or less mean that the way it's shot is beautiful, striking, evocative. We can tell that someone didn't just throw on some basic flat network procedural lighting and shoot from all the conventional angles. They put thought and style into it.
What does a cinematographer actually do?
The cinematographer is also called the director of photography (DP). They work closely with the director, workshopping their vision with them. They're in charge of both the camera crew and the lighting crew, deciding what they should do to make every scene look exactly the way it should. They read the script ahead of time, and they visit sets and locations before shooting to plan how they're going to tackle the look of each scene.
Director of photography might sound like kind of a secondary position, but not really! It's incredibly important. Hannibal had the same cinematographer, James Hawkinson, working on almost every single episode. This isn't always the case in television, so I think we're very lucky that he was such a consistent part of the artistic process.
Tumblr media
Hawkinson dropping that DP wisdom in the season 2 DVD extras.
Check out this interview, in which Bryan Fuller explains how when he saw Hawkinson's cinematography in action, he changed his whole approach to writing the series:
Hawkinson’s cinematography helped elevate the network show into one of the most visually exciting series ever produced for any platform. [...] Bryan Fuller and his staff had written five episodes that tried to toe the tricky line between Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter novels and the structured storytelling of a network investigative procedural. “I remember leaving the edit session where we’d seen the first cut [of the pilot] and I was like, ‘We’re doing the wrong show,” said Fuller in an interview with IndieWire. “When I saw David Slade and Jim Hawkinson’s work, and really understood the artful piece that they were able to conjure for what we had, I threw out the scripts.” 
I mean, this says a lot, right? Fuller is saying that he completely rewrote the beginning of the first season, in part because Hawkinson's photography on the pilot made him realize they had the chance to reach for something deeper, something more artistic than he'd thought possible.
Tumblr media
Gorgeous moody lighting and photography from the very first episode.
With new directors working on the show from week to week, and Hawkinson needing to work closely with each of them, it became part of his job to make sure they were on the right wavelength with show's vision. He talked in this interview about how he would sometimes need to "check" guest directors if their ideas didn't quite fit the Hannibal style:
There's times where I've been asked to do shots that I didn't feel were the show. And as the director of photography, keeping the aesthetics consistent from director to director, I have to protect and justify the aesthetics of the show. So that's kind of a torch that I kind of just bear, whatever director comes in. [...] Say someone has a vision of a dead person and I'll be asked by a guest director to put smoke and backlight. And I'll argue that ... as soon as you do it becomes hokey and it becomes a B-movie and it's cliché. So the horror in Hannibal is more based in some sort of reality. Yes it's heightened but ... there's nothing fantastical about it.
We can see here that Hawkinson knew the visual language of Hannibal inside and out, and he played a key part in keeping it so consistent and distinctive. The show became known for its evocative color palette, thoughtful shot compositions, and use of light and shadow -- all elements of cinematography. And as Hawkinson said, it was always important that the violence and death at the center of the show was photographed artistically, emotionally... even beautifully.
Tumblr media
A horror image becomes moving and mysterious through cinematography.
Imagine how different this shot could have felt with a different quality of light. Or if we were looking from a different angle, or distance. Cinematography is all about making sure those elements are perfectly positioned, as much as possible, so that we see the show just the way its creative team hoped we would.

How did you discover Timothy? I personally found him through the show Justified and fell in love and went down a rabbit hole and found this blog! Just curious xo!
Oooh okay! Welcome to the madness by the way!
So, some background. I don’t come from the greatest of families. Was quite a neglectful household and my mom would just sit me in front of the TV while she went off and did her stupid shit. One day on my little pink TV she brought home Scream 2 on VHS. It was 2005 and I don’t think she really cared that it wasn’t appropriate for a whole child to be watching but I digress.
Anyway, 5 year old CJ watched the movie and instantly fell in love with Mickey. I watched that movie on repeat for, God, AGES although I don’t remember much of my childhood well due to repressed trauma blah blah. But regardless, rewatching Scream 2 when I was actually able to comprehend it? It hit so fucking different.
I know that was the first movie with Tim in it that I watched because there’s a picture of me that my late auntie took of me tucked up in bed watching Scream 2 and she used to tell me I’d throw a tantrum if anyone tried to take the tape away.
But the first movie I vividly remember first seeing Tim in was The Girl Next Door when I was seven. To this day I don’t know how I got a hold of that DVD (probably Blockbuster or something idk) but I was down BAD for Kelly. Like, to the point it was actually concerning. We had one family computer, an old, old piece of shit and I typed Timothy Olyphant into the fucking search engine and boom.
Beginning of the end.
Basically, the man unknowingly got me through the rough parts of my childhood and teenage life and was always something of a comfort. Now, almost to my mid-20’s, he still remains the only thing consistent. The man saved my life. He’s been my continuing fixation for years, YEARS and it won’t change any time soon. He’s just so comforting to me and always will be.
