Mother (right) and daughter sharing a cigarette together, consenting to a video in which they talk about their favorite drinks and smoking!
THE VIDEO OF THE WEEK 🚬 (SF HALL OF FAME) 🚬 NUMBER 3 IN THE SERIES!
For the Week of 091023-091623
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ + | Five-Plus "Stars"
From vs120shound staff | ★★★★★ (L)
REVISION/UPDATE: Mom here is called "Bobbi" by interviewer, Austin, the SM web-master/web producer. She is also known as Michelle Conners and Mechelle Montes. ID supplied by gtrtchr120. Correction: September 18, 2023 at 12:38 a.m. Bonus photos of Mom (Bobbi, Michelle, Mechelle) added at the bottom of the post.
By far one the greatest Mother-Daughter scenes in the Greater SF World Community's history. Easily. This is super cute daughter Christy (left) and her sparklingly pretty yet unidentified mother to her side. Mom's photo has been scrubbed from the SmokingModels (Florida, U.S.A.) models page. She was identified for years but we missed the boat on remembering, and that's a collective "My Bad!" without question. And let's not try to kid ourselves or any other SF aficionados for any reason, there have been plenty of sensational scenes with mothers sharing cigarettes with their daughters over the years. This IS our favorite among them! And we're not bashful about admitting the preeminent nature of this claim in our collective view! Not all will agree with this declaration, but some will say Christy and Mommy are deserving of being considered for that immense honor. Others will say, no, they're certainly not bad but there are so many others nearly as fine! We disagree with that position . . . and it is not No. 1 because of their knockout bodies, their sexiness and ample endowments each, although those obvious features only serve to enhance this video's appeal to SF aficionados!
. . . going the traditonal Bo Derek "1 to 10" rating, will say (no range here; just firm numbers for each) Christy is an 8.0 and gorgeous, elegant, sophisticated and mature Mom is a 9.0. We just don't know how they got to this point. Did mom sense that Christy was interested in her smoking and mom questioned her and agreed to help her into transitioning into becoming a smoker? Or did Christy simply say, "Hey, Mom, I'm interested in your smoking habit and I'd like to try it out." And from that point, Mom jumped in and said, "Great, Christy! I was wondering when you'd show interest in cigarettes, I was your age when Grandma showed me the ropes. Let me show you! Would you like to experiment with smoking? Or are you sure right now that you want to become a smoker as soon as possible? I can show you the right way to smoke like a lady." Mom should know; probably picked up the habit as a teenager some 20 years or so earlier.
Most likely it was one of those scenarios with slight modifications. Could have been, however, a case of Christy stealthily sneaking around and pilfering one or a few cigarettes at a time and trying it out, hoping those experimental cigarettes wouldn't be missed or that she'd be discovered? Or, finally, for another possiblity perhaps . . . Christy and some friends, or just Christy and her BFF, forged a pact to try to learn how to smoke together or they had already decided that's what they needed to do, to graduate into becoming full-time, addicted sexy smokers?
We know that hot, young Christy -- possibly as young as 13 or 14 y.o. or maybe as late as 16 or 17 y.o. or even at 18 -- certainly noticed how sexy her mom was when she was smoking, saw all the extra attention her mother got with her hot, seductive style with cigarettes. Young teenage daughters pick up on clues as to how to become more noticeable and sophisticated and more mature in their looks and behaviors. Smoking cigarettes is a sure-fire, great way to attain that ladylike appeal by others. They talk not so much about smoking in this long clip but more on their favorite alcoholic beverages. Young would-be smokers, and newbies to the habit, definitely sense and see the relationship between cigarettes and booze. They experiment; they learn; then they are hooked soon enough: Heavy smoking while drinking . . . chain smoking while binge drinking, when getting super drunk!
Added post-release, on Sept. 18, 2023 at 3:37 p.m.:
Here, in our classic video, Christy and "Bobbi" talk about fashion and style and what works as ensembles for them. Austin, the interviewer and web-master/web-producer for SmokingModels, floats the idea of searching for outfits on the cheap by going online and visiting E-bay! How revolutionary. That portion of the the nearly 8:56 of non-stop conversation dates this video
This post falls within SF Hall of Fame classification because for years by many SF aficionados this video has been considered to be a classic. It is a legendary, iconic video of Mothers-Daughters enjoying their love, friendship, camaraderie, common interests and time together all enhanced and accentuated by their shared habit of smoking cigarettes. Get the feeling that they tried . . . for years after this video was made and published by SmokingModels.com web-master/web producer Austin . . . and continued to try to have cigarettes at the same time, smoking them together. Doubt we are very wrong here, though we could be a tad off.

"That's her, mom. Just add 10 years on to how she appears in the video, putting "Bobbi" closer to 50 y.o. than the late-30s/early-40s that she might've been in the neighborhood during the time of the post's production and release on SmokingModels," -- vs120shound web-master/web producer

hi! i was wondering if you could do a wilbur soot x female reader? (romantic)
i was thinking some headcannons of things Wil would do as a bf/cute moments fans have clipped from streams of him like, showing you off, complimenting or bragging about you.
no pressure to do this at all! <3
I did a bit of both headcannons and clipped moments! Also yes the little photo thing is of wilbur :)
Pairing: CC!Wilbur x Fem!Reader
When With Wilbur
Tumblr media
When (not if, lets be honest here) you wear his jumpers, he fucking melts. It's like: Woah, that's his girlfriend. wearing his clothes. Holy shit. He loves you.
You walk into his office holding two cups of coffee, a sheepish look on your face. "You won't believe what just happened to me."
"I won't?" Wilbur asks, navigating his Minecraft character to a safe spot before looking up at you. "Woah." He murmurs, mic barely picking it up.
The last he had seen you, twenty minutes ago, you had left his stream claiming you were going to get coffee. Now here you were, with two coffees, but wearing his jumper. His girlfriend. Wearing his jumper. On stream.
"It started downpouring! So I had to stop by the flat and grab something so I wouldn't drown!"
"Mhm." He hums, but it's obvious he isn't hearing a word you're saying. He's far too distracted by how you look wearing his clothes, how you're wearing his clothes in front of thousands of viewers.
"But at least I got coffee." You finish, plopping down in the chair he had found for you.
“Thank you.” He accepts the offered cup from you, eyes never leaving you. “Uh, so where was I?”
Wilbur really wants to show his love for you at all times and 80% of that is him calling you pet names
“Hey, love, do you know where my yellow pick went?”
“The Fender one?”
Wilbur nods, strumming idly while he reads chat.
“Didn’t you break it last night when I bet you twenty you couldn’t play World’s Smallest Violin?”
He snaps his fingers, turning around in his chair to face you. “You still owe me money for that.”
“Technically you broke your pick and couldn’t do it, so…”
“No, you still owe me that money.”
“Oh, wow, look at the time I have to get going! Bye bye!” Waving with a smile, you slowly start to back up.
As you vanish out the door, he turns back to his stream to whisper, “she’s just like Tommy. Holding her presence ransom. Last time I ever let the two of them in a room together.”
Wilbur absolutely loves to show you off at any given chance
Whenever Tommy invites the both of you to his vlogs (which he does a lot, he is the biggest shipper of you two) Wilbur always takes the chance to be super affectionate.
“Wil, Wil! Take aesthetic photos of me!” Tommy yells, awkwardly posing in the tulip field.
“He’s definitely succeeding at being a VSCO girl.” You whisper to Wilbur.
Tommy's whole thing for this vlog was being a VSCO girl for a day. For some reason that meant he had to drag you and Wilbur along, but you weren't complaining. Filming his vlogs was a lot of fun.
Wilbur laughs, bending over to pick one of the tulips. "Here. It's not as pretty as you, but it'll have to do."
You immediately blush, ducking your head a little as you take it. "Thank you."
"Hear that vlog nation? My girlfriend is prettier than all of these tulips combined. Fuck you guys." Wilbur tells the camera, holding it up to film you two instead of filming Tommy like asked.
As a joke you mimic having a crown on your head, playing it up. Wilbur smiles, turning and pulling you in for a kiss.
"Oi! Lovebirds! Stop making out and start filming me!" Tommy yells.
"Fuck you!" Wilbur yells back before lowering his voice. "I swear to God I'm going to kill him one day."
"He's your brother, you can't do that." You give him another kiss before turning and calling out to Tommy, "Your angles are off!"
"Fuck!"
He always responds to your texts/calls, even if he's in the middle of something.
"Hang on Tommy, I have to respond to this message."
"We are literally streaming, what the fuck."
Wilbur loves to cuddle you and will take any excuse to. You're a little cold? Oh, time to cuddle. There's a new movie out? Clearly you two have to cuddle and watch it together.
He also loves to write you little notes and leave them in places for you to find because he loves to see you smile. They're stuff like "you're so pretty" or just "I love you."
There is not a single stream where you aren't mentioned in some way. Even if it's just an offhand thing. Wilbur remembers every little detail about you so he can tie you into anything.
"Oh, I should get these flowers." Wilbur remarks, moving to break some flowers in Minecraft.
"What for?" Tommy asks, following him. "Oh, ew. Never mind. Love. I'll have you know the only one I love is the grind, and the grind doesn't like flowers."
"Sorry for being a good boyfriend," Wilbur says sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "I'll give these to her when we get back. Were we headed this way?"
Sometimes he'll tell chat when you two go out on a date but sometimes he doesn't because he wants it to be just his to think about and smile about. It doesn't really matter because chat can tell by how smiley he is that he’s thinking of you.
Wilbur has definitely written so many songs about you. Only one or two ever get recorded, but he has a journal just filled with little poetic lines about you.
You are at every single gig he ever does and every single time he performs a song inspired by you, he'll shout you out. He uses it as an excuse to brag about you a little too.
"This song is about- well. You all know who this song is about! Everyone cheer for my spectacular and beautiful girlfriend who is somewhere in this crowd!"

would demon dazai n chuuya ever join forces and share a darling? i imagine itd be a huge mess if they both took interest in the same darling so im curious if you think theyd be able to share or if all hell breaks loose once they find out theyre going after the same person :3c
love this au, ure doing a great job ʕ⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ
hello user teethsies!! its always nice to hear from u huehue ^^ for more demon bsd content, check out the #demon au 🐟 tag!
cw: yandere characters + themes, violence
Tumblr media
according to your very reliable source, the ritual was only supposed to summon one (1) demon.
but inhabiting your space now was not one, but two demons.
you tried to calm yourself down first before either of them could fully realize what had happened. maybe they were a package deal—unable to summon one without the other tagging alone, and you could ask them nicely to go back so you could summon the one you wanted. or maybe it didn't matter. the reason why you wanted to summon a demon didn't change just because there were two now, anyway, so as long as they were bound to you (at least, that was what was supposed to happen), you could make them do your bidding and promise to send them back right after.
but of course, none of that happened. for starters, your new housemates abhorred each other, and your so-called binding had no effect on them. it seemed you had, instead of summoning a particular demon, opened up a portal of some sort that the two happened to come across, which meant that you held no power over them.
to make it all worse, they were both completely deranged.
you're not sure what you were expecting from a demon, but it was foolish of you to think they didn't deal in trickery and torment. dazai was a master in both, somehow able to even make an invitation to stay in his torture chamber enticing (until you, fortunately, snapped out of it and realized just what that would entail). chuuya, though he never threatened you, had a permanent sneer on his face, and from the little conversation you overheard between him and dazai, was also no stranger to violent, cruel tactics.
it didn't matter why you wanted to summon them. dazai finds it silly anyway, whether it was for revenge or curiosity, the fact that you believed you could do such a thing and still be alive by the end of it was almost cute, and chuuya had made sure you knew how angry he was that you thought you could boss him around. regardless, they were here now, and...they were refusing to leave.
in retrospect, it was quite obvious when they were starting to take interest in you. dazai had always been a little too interested in you, apart from studying your clipped nails, which were completely different from his own claw-like ones, and constantly pointing out how small and human you looked, dazai found everything about you entertaining. he especially liked to make you frustrated, turning off your computer in the middle of your game, mixing salt into your sugar, hiding away your phone—little things that ruined your day,
chuuya, on the other hand, was a little harder to figure out. he seemed to hold a grudge against you, but there were times where he'd be almost...nice. after a particularly rough day or a night where you couldn't sleep thanks to someone deciding to also sleep right on top of you, you'd wake up to see your favorite drink waiting for you and all of dazai's usual tricks sorted out in advance. of course, he wasn't completely innocent. he had his own fair share of tricks, though never as bad as dazai's. chuuya was also a lot more familiar with the human world, and provided surprisingly good advice when you needed it.
the problem with the whole arrangement is that dazai cannot share anything, let alone his new human toy. he's suffocatingly possessive, and painfully competitive, constantly wanting you to spend more time with him and be nicer to him and smile more at him and—it went on. once he realizes that chuuya's warming up to you, he immediately starts plotting for damage control. he tries to send chuuya back and convince you that chuuya was only going to hurt you. while chuuya isn't opposed to the idea, dazai's hostility on spurs him on. having the two of you like the same darling will only end up in a lot of fighting.

Which of the characters are the loudest in bed? 👀
I had to rewrite some of these parts three times because tumblr kept not saving the draft when I clicked "save draft" so forgive me if some of them sound a little clipped, I'm pretty annoyed about it lol
Loud
Mammon: Yeah, Mammon has absolutely no concept of volume control. Naturally, he's wildly embarrassed by this and will try to deny how loud he is even in between moans. It's pretty fun to tease him about this. It almost makes it worth all the times someone will bang on the door demanding you keep it down. Almost.
Diavolo: Idk what you expected. He sees no reason to try to hide what you're doing, so he doesn't bother keeping his voice down. And, tbh, I'm not convinced he could be quiet if he tried. This man has a big, booming voice and even his dirty talk sounds more like shouting. Barbatos isn't paid enough for this shit.
Solomon: Whore 💖 He's absolutely shameless, so you better hope no one else is in the same building as you when you fuck. Of course, if you ask him to try to be quiet, he'll happily make even more obnoxiously obscene noises just to annoy you.
Moderate
Leviathan: Levi will bite his lip raw to try to stifle his noises if you don't stop him. He's actually pretty quiet as far as like... decibels go, but his tone is so shrill, his voice carries much farther than it would otherwise. He sounds absolutely pathetic, and if you call him out for this, he will cry, but he will also cum on the spot.
Asmodeus: Okay, I know this is a hot take, but considering his vast uh. Experience, there's no way Asmo doesn't know how to adjust his volume for the situation. Much like everything else related to sex with Asmo, YMMV because he will try to shape himself into your ideal partner. However, if you do manage to get him to loosen up and stop trying to impress you, he naturally makes these clipped, high-pitched whines that are super cute, but not that loud.
Belphegor: So sex with Belphie can really be divided into two categories. Sometimes, it's slow, lazy sex where he's still half asleep and adorably clingy. In these cases, he's almost silent, with the only noises he's making being little sighs and incoherent mumbling that you think might be your name. But on the other hand, when he's in a particularly bratty mood and wants you to wreck his shit, it's a totally different story, and he will be spitting taunts at you even as the words keep getting cut off by choked moans.
Simeon: Simeon is prone to crying during sex and everyone else can fight me. He tries to maintain some semblance of dignity at first, but it never takes long before he falls apart and starts crying out freely.
Quiet
Lucifer: Yeah, the most you're getting from him is the occasional tremor in his voice. He's bad at showing vulnerability at the best of times, so you just have to get used to picking up on the way his mouth twists or his brow furrows, because you won't be getting any more obvious reactions than that. (Unless he's drunk, but that's another story altogether.)
Satan: Depending on his mood, the sounds he makes range from low growls to soft, breathy moans. Either way, it's gonna be pretty quiet, and you'd need to be within a couple feet of him to be able to hear them at all.
Beelzebub: If you're doing something particularly intense, you may be treated to some choked grunts, but otherwise, the only noises he really makes are his breath getting heavier and whispered praises that grow increasingly incoherent as he approaches his orgasm, at which point he seems to stop breathing altogether.
Barbatos: Barbatos makes these drawn-out, airy noises that are very cute, but almost inaudible if your faces aren't right up against each other. If you make it known that you want to hear him better, he won't get any louder, but instead will lean towards you to moan right in your ear.

Every Japanese comedy reference in Jujutsu Kaisen chapters 240 and 241
EDIT: Added one more reference to Audrey that I completely missed out when I was writing this post. Putting my self-proclaimed Japanese comedy otaku title to shame!
I was a Japanese comedy otaku way before I got into manga and anime, which is why I get way too excited whenever I spot Japanese comedy references in other forms of media. Granted, the plot is totally coherent even without knowing the references, but please indulge me as I find myself a rare opportunity to talk about Japanese comedians. All English panels are sourced from Manga Plus and Japanese panels are my own digital copies.
Preface about Japanese comedians
Japanese comedians usually form duos called "combi" in Japanese. Some may form trios or even quartets, but duos make up the overwhelming majority. Solo comedians are becoming more common, but like Takaba, most if not all of them had started out as a duo that didn't work out over time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nabe Nabe Entertainment and Pony
Reference to Watanabe Entertainment, a major entertainment agency in Japan. The most famous comedian group under Watanabe's management will be the comedic trio Neptune, and the above panels reference them indirectly as well.
Another talent management agency mentioned is Pony, which is a reference to Sony Music Artists Inc (SMA). Yes, they manage comedians as well lol. Agencies have distinct styles of management, which eventually shows in the type of comedians they manage. Kenjaku assumes that Takaba is with Pony because SMA has managed to propel an impressive number of solo comedians to fame despite the comparatively smaller scale of management. They also lean more slapstick than the "cooler" forms like skits and monologues. In fact, Takaba reminds me of Koume Dayū:
youtube
Laughing Dog? Vocabula?
Both Laughing Dog (Warau Inu) and Vocabula (Vocabula Tengoku) were incredibly popular variety TV serial programmes that Neptune appeared in during the 1990s and early 2000s. Takaba admires Neptune, which is why he chooses to sign with Nabe Nabe rather than Pony, even if the latter may actually manage him better.
Kenjaku wondered for a second why Takaba didn't cite Vocabula as the reason he admires Neptune, because Vocabula was the one that gave Neptune their shot to fame, and they absolutely reached superstar levels of fame during the time. Laughing Dog came later, when they were already established as household names.
The reason why Kenjaku walked back on it with "I guess that's obvious enough" has to do with the nature of the two programmes. Laughing Dog was a sketch comedy programme like Chappelle's Show, while as the name may suggest, Vocabula focused on wordplays, puns, and parodies. Comedians were voted based on how they performed the jokes. Here's a short clip of Neptune on Vocabula:
youtube
While here's a sketch from Laughing Dog (the second, third, and fourth green leaves members are Neptune lol):
youtube
Of course Takaba was inspired by Laughing Dog, "I guess that's obvious enough".
Backbone! My backbone!
Tumblr media
An actual short gag (ippatsu gag or lit. one-shot gag) by Haranishi from the duo FUJIWARA:
youtube
It's not the first time Akutami has referenced an actual short gag in the series. Perhaps you may remember Itadori's unfortunate reunion scene at the sister school goodwill event:
Tumblr media
This is a gag from Kojima Yoshio:
youtube
You have my condolences, Itadori.
Comedians and auditions
Tumblr media
Kenjaku is dressed like a stereotypical TV producer here. This dates back to Japan's asset price bubble; during which, tying a cardigan over the shoulders was a staple look among TV producers and directors. In this scene, Takaba is auditioning like he would for a part in a variety TV show. Struggling comedians like Takaba often audition for variety shows that showcase a series of comedic skits or manzai. Pass the audition and you get a spot to perform on national TV.
Comedians and theatre
Tumblr media
Most comedians who don't get their big breaks on TV spend a large part of their careers in small theatres. A typical comedy show consists of several groups of comedians performing their skits or manzai, and the theatre will hand out feedback forms like the above. It seems like Takaba used to go by the stage name Pinchan.
P-1? C-1?
The fictional C-1 is a reference to an actual long-running competition M-1 Grand Prix, while the fictional P-1 which Takaba mentioned earlier is a reference to another competition R-1 Grand Prix. M-1 is restricted to manzai performed by two people or more, while R-1 is open to solo comedians only. There are several important annual comedy competitions in Japan. Winning these big-name competitions is usually the ticket to fame for many comedians, but even then it may not work out for everyone.
Idol shows
Tumblr media
It has become customary to have established Japanese comedians host Japanese girl groups TV shows, and I pretty much agree with Takaba's take on why. If you're a fan of idol groups like Morning Musume, AKB48, Nogizaka46, or Idoling!!!, then you would be familiar with Japanese comedians like Ninety-Nine, Ariyoshi Hiroiki, Bananaman, and Bakarhythm.
By the way, Takaba was watching TV while eating cup noodles after the above panel. The lines are from a well-known manzai performed by comedy duo Audrey. This particular joke with them going "hehehe" at each other is a staple in their early manzai:
Tumblr media
In fact, take a closer look at the apartment that Takaba lives in. It's based on the actual apartment Kasuga (pink vest guy on the right) used to live in, named Mutsumi-sō. His shabby apartment and extremely thrifty lifestyle had been featured in many variety TV shows in the past. He lived there for more than 20 years, and the apartment was actually quite a tourist spot for fans of Audrey. Kasuga's Japanese Wikipedia article even has a photo of it as seen below, which is what I think Akutami referenced from. The interior is largely based on Kasuga's apartment as well:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bonus Japanese comedy!
Akutami has taken inspiration from actual Japanese comedians in the past. In chapter 153, two of the spectators look eerily like comedy duo Sandwichman:
Tumblr media
And how can we forget Ken, the fellow comedian who gave Takaba advice in chapter 146:
Tumblr media
He's based on Kendo Kobayashi, and if you've seen images/clips of Akutami dressed up as Mechamaru, that was when he went on Kenkoba's show:
youtube
Wow that was long. Thanks for indulging the squealing Japanese comedy fan in me!

moment in the vanity fair video i can’t let go of:
Bella: “you look stunning, girl!”
Dom, completely earnestly: “me? Thanks, so do you :)”
i have SO MANY NOTES about this video
first of all, how he answers the door with a drink in hand, can't even be bothered to put down his (presumably) water to do an intro (and his commitment to always looking like he just rolled out of bed needs to be studied)
and the blank expression behind his eyes when he says "cummberbum", he's got nothing inside his pretty head :) and quote "those are good pictures" re: the tuxedo tshirt, NO THEYRE NOT
and the CASE of miller high life is so funny, like it's perfect, and i wanna know what the card that was attached to the box said (bc the envelope clearly had been opened in quite a hasty and messy fashion, which seems to be dom's way)
and the quick clip they play from the movie where it's OBVIOUS dom's real voice is lower than in the movie, and it harkens me back to an interview i read where he said he intentionally affected his voice higher than his regular speaking voice because he didn't think angus's voice would be as deep as his 😭 and his odd little gasping laugh is AGH he's so cute
and the standing but 90 degree angle bend at the waist to play his switch and the double hand wave to greet the girl bringing his tux in
and the SIBLINGS!!!! their energy is so cute, the way he touches her head and she just :] at him (also HER sunnies, is this a sessa family obsession with sunnies, what's happening here)
the awkward maneuvering of the furniture to get the food cart into the room, and then talks about fruit WITH FRUIT ALREADY IN HIS MOUTH
popping his lips to get the product settled in is so cute
AND SAYING HE KEEPS UP WITH PAUL!!! uncle paul fr 🥲
it's also around here that i noticed his lisp for the first time, it's very subtle, but it sure is there, and it's cute
AND AGAIN WITH THE CUTE SIB ENERGY!! genuine love and compliments with a hint of goofy (also let me be real, dom's a hottie and i Desire him, but also.... hey bella sessa what's good <3 looking really pretty there girl <33 call me sometime)
his ass said "Now I Will Get Dressed. Goodbye." spoken exactly like that, and bella holding her hand up to laugh (and he says Woila and not Voila and it's a small detail and yes i'm nitpicky) i also have questions about the bathroom situation in that hotel room??? is the bathtub like?? in its own lil closet?? bc he opens the doors to what i THOUGHT was a full bathroom, but the camera pans down to show the bathtub RIGHT UP AGAINST the doors so??? i'm confused here
his goofy lil spin and the disorientation when he finds the camera again, and my FAV PART OF THE WHOLE VIDEO, his tiny lil "cummbie: secured" HES SO CUTE (what is the purpose of a cummerbund btw, i'm being so fr, like his jacket was buttoned up so far that you couldn't even SEE the cummbie, so what was the reason)
his loud ass accented "BRILLIANT", and the spin and nod and mumbled "amazing" and i'm suddenly humbly reminded he's just an odd ass 21 year old guy and then he TURNS ON THE MODEL MODE for the pics, but i also need to know what bella's reaction to model dom is, she HAD to have been in that room laughing at her baby brother trying to be Hot
AND HIS SUNNIES MAKE AN APPEARANCE AND EVERYONE CHEERED!!!
in the last shot, bella has a tattoo on her wrist, and knowing about dom's tattoo and now BELLA'S tat.... i need to know these people, i wanna be their friends so bad
and that's my play by play of the vanity fair vid :) nobody asked but ye shall receive

How the LGI MV proves MonoTVid is both canon and a doomed ship
In this totally serious analysis post, I will show you, with 100% irrefutable evidence, that MonoTVid (the common ship name for MonoTV x David) is destined to be both canon and a doomed ship. This is in honor of them recently winning that one poll in The Website Formerly Known As Twitter, a poll which I do not entirely understand but one which I will respect regardless.
I will not accept any criticism on this post. I am objectively correct. If you find mistakes in this post, then what you’ve found is a mistake in your brain.
Obviously a TV, Obviously a Ship
Observe.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, do you understand?
If you don’t, let me spell it out for you. We have what is “obviously a TV” with terrorist iconography, which obviously represents MonoTV, nearby several elements which clearly represent David. The hair clips, the megaphone, the dummy. You’ll see “dummies” is plural, because David is a dummy. This is the first clue to the tsundenderish nature of David, as he is literally calling himself a “baka”, perhaps even of the sussy variety. If he calls himself “baka”, could he use the same word to describe someone else?
But the true indication of this ship is the lemon on top of the TV. See, the lemon in the story “Lemon” by the man who wrote the story “Lemon”, whoever he was, is a lemon which represents, despite being a lemon, a person’s will to live. If you want further context on this lemon, read the background text near the lemon when the lyric “make a lemon bomb” shows up on screen, near the lemon. You think I’m gonna post an image of the lemon text near the lemon? No. You should know the lemon text near the lemon by heart.
Anyways, this lemon is obviously on top of the TV to represent that MonoTV is David’s reason to live. There are no other possible interpretations.
But you may also see those dandelions, labeled “weeds”. Weed is what I’m taking to make this post. Not cannabis, I am sniffing dandelions. This is besides the point.
Now, you’ll realize that since dandelions represent happiness, and even hope, the point the video tries to make with them is that David sees these things as annoying weeds. This shows MonoTV and David both hate hope. They are clearly lovers.
But what you didn’t notice, and I know you didn’t notice for I am in your walls, is footnote 18: “A/N: soz not very good at drawing flowers lol!!!”. See, David is the author of these notes, which is obvious from things like footnote 11, the “I am an only child” one. What this footnote means is that David gave these flowers to MonoTV, but he’s embarrassed about it, because he doesn’t think any gift can match the divine splendor of MonoTV. David is just that sweet. That much of a cinnamon roll who can do no wrong. A skrunkly. A blorbo. What other words can I use to brainwash Tumblr users.
Now, look at these.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at the balloon and the Monokuma plushie. Does my inconsistent coloring of “the” bother you? I am very evil. You’ll see the balloon is labeled “stupid kid’s toy”, while the plushie is “a popular toy”.
Now, you might think this is another indication that David sees anything related to hope, like balloons, as inherently childish and stupid. Meanwhile, he sees anything related to despair, like Monokuma, as more grounded.
You are wrong.
You seem, MonoTV has stated Monokuma is its dad. So this being in the video means that MonoTV is David’s daddy and his toy. I’ll explain when you’re older. Just kidding, I won’t. Fuck that.
Not convinced?
Why? I am always right, so you shouldn’t doubt me.
But okay, I guess:
I Will Bring Up Color Theory For The Thousandth Post In A Row
I am not linking the accirax post for the fiftieth time. Look it up yourself.
Look:
Tumblr media
Yellow for David, cyan for MonoTV. Many have tried to come up with an answer for what “original” means, but it’s actually really simple.
See, David has an I. You wanna know who else has an I? Dark blue, which may be J. And J is the mastermind. Here’s the source for that, it’s somewhere in that video, you just have to find it.
So, J, who is the mastermind and thus essentially MonoTV, has the same letter as David. This clearly shows David and MonoTV are lovers.
Here’s another case of a cyan I.
Tumblr media
Boom. Theorizing’s easy.
Then, look.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
David has game in yellow, then MonoTV has game in cyan. They’re lovers. Do you find another explanation? No, no you don’t. You will not think critically about this post. You are not immune to MonoTVid propaganda.
But, alas, the ship is not to last.
David is a Cat
At the beginning of the video:
Tumblr media
David calls himself a cat, then MonoTV shows up to remind us it’s a dog. You might think it doesn’t mean much, but there actually is meaning behind David being a cat. See, it’s related to the archaic Japanese pronoun “wagahai”, referenced-
Nah, you don’t care about that. David’s a cat, source just trust me bro.
That’s what the black and white cat sitting next to David actually represents: David, tied by color scheme to MonoTV. I’m writing this on my phone and don’t feel like waiting to get to a computer to get past the 10 image limit, so we’re out of visuals.
Why is this important? Well, if you take into account the Romeo and Juliet quote that footnote 8 is attached to (here’s a screenshot), it’s clear the MV is trying to convey a story of two people in love separated by fate. This is clearly about David and MonoTV, which is further represented by David being represented by a cat when MonoTV is obviously a dog. Truly sad. Can I get an amen?
Are you not convinced yet? Crazy. Well, one last thing then.
It’s All Democratic
“To be or not to be? Who knows? Let’s decide! Democratic-ly”
Tumblr media
You see how the rules for class trials are on the same image as democratic-ly? Well, this is a clear reference to the poll on The Website Formerly Known As Twitter. Since MonoTVid was chosen as the winner of said poll, it was chosen “democratically”, and will thus become a canon doomed ship. You might wonder if this means the dev has the ability to see the future. But we are not to speculate on the dev’s identity, so while we can’t theorize they are clairvoyant, we also can’t speculate they aren’t. Checkmate.
In fact, The Website Formerly Known As Twitter is now sometimes referred to as “X”, an obvious reference to the X on this screen. Because surely no one would be so absolutely idiotic as to just name the website “X” for no reason.
But hold on, isn’t this X actually Roman numeral 10 for Min?
Well, obviously. We never saw Min’s corpse in her execution, which means she survived and is the second mastermind alongside J. Min is still alive. Min is still alive. Min is still alive. Min is still-
Am I a Whit Young kinnie, but specifically for Min? No, obviously. Because Min isn’t like Whit’s mom, because Min is still alive.
The point is, Min is related back to MonoTV through her mastermind-y nature, and MonoTV to MonoTVid, I’m too lazy to actually continue writing this post.
—————————————————————————
Did you actually read this all the way to end? Are you okay? Do you need a hug? Because this is insane. I don’t know why I made this. Take care!

I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS FOR THE HOOKED AU (to the poitn that this is getting typed in my notes app🫣)
- her hitting jack in games is so funny to me. i jsut imagine her managing to slam him into the boards and he looks at nico after like “she could’ve done it harder, maybe she likes me🥰”
- her draft?? if she’s the same age as jack, maybe he was a little shit when she got drafted- but not too mean because i feel like he’d also respect her because of queen ellen so idk
- “i adopted the sad one” please it takes on introduction and quinn is like “she’s perfect for you jack- she bullies you too🫂”
- ….i’m very interested in her “collection” those interactions seem so funny to me
- the nyrangers admin😭
- PEOPLES REACTION TO THE ALL STAR WEEKEND- i just imagine a commentator losing his absolute shit
- “i also called you a felon” made me giggle
- her meeting luke. it’s not a want, it’s a need (he comes on for a game and she’s like “bestfriend🥰” and jacks all pouty?)
- HER DEBUTTT (it’s not a want, but it’s another need)
- them playing on the same team
…i apologize if this is a lot…oopsie🧍🏼‍♀️
I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE YOU
this… also got very long, 😃 but i hope it inspires more asks
- she’s a very physical player considering the main (the only reason i’ve seen that’s not entirely misogyny) reason women don’t become nhlers is the lack of hitting in women’s leagues and she wants to prove that she can be useful in that aspect of the game
the first time she hits jack he is not expecting it and the hits are consistent until they get to know each other and then she pulls a tiny bit
he’s blushing and kicking his feet and whatever and nico is like you’re fucking delusional kid
- she’s either drafted in 2019, 2020, or 2021
if she’s drafted in 2019, she initially sticks to cole like literal glue and that’s how she meets jack, who of course embarrasses the shit out of himself drunk and says something that happened to be a deep rooted insecurity of hers. she gets over it and during the summer she makes plans with cole again and jacks there, and this time he can handle his alcohol a little better and makes a better impression - when they start hooking up he remembers the night and feels like an ASS cause he now realizes why she avoided him like the plague
for 2020, it’s dawson she meets first, which makes a lot of sense with his role in the au. she becomes really attached to him in a permanent way and the first time they play each other he invites her out. a lot of the devils are confused and he’s like she’s cool i promise!! her on ice persona proves to be strictly for on ice shenanigans and a lot of them kind of feel bad as she’s definitely gotten some backlash for being a girl in the nhl. she’s getting advice from nico and she’s kinda tucked into dawson cause he’s her comfort person when jack comes up and also embarrasses himself cause he falls face first tripping over himself when he sees her out of her gear for the first time
if she’s drafted in 2021, jacks watching the live draft with luke and just as everything’s calming down with the excitement of luke going to the devils, the rangers announce that they’ve chosen you. they play a clip from your women’s league and from what he can see your game and energy is very similar to trevor’s (he hates it) and then later that night he sees the clip of you going around celebrating being the first woman drafted to the nhl and he goes back on that thought and cyber stalks you until your first time playing nj in which he meets you at the blue line for warmups and flirts so badly
- when quinn meets her in the media edit her and jack are already hooking up, and quinn doesn’t really piece that together cause she does a really good job at making fun of jack and avoiding his flirting
but jack?? is so obvious abt it
quinn’s convinced his little brother is getting off to her highlight reels
he only brings it up once she’s gone and he’s basically like ‘ur as red as your jersey and it’s pathetic but that whole ordeal was cute i guess. she’d fix you up,’
- her main adoptees (for some she is their adoptee, but i digress) are quinn, luke, dawson cole, nico, seamus and trevor
quinn is like that one friend who will egg on any and all bad decisions because he feels like she’s the only person who will know when to stop herself and that his stupidity will both be understood but not taken too far
‘should i tell igor i’m pregnant’ ‘fuck yes’
luke is like her little brother, they make fun of each other but they also want what’s best for each other and they will both fight for one another,
he is both pro y/n and anti y/n and loud about both simultaneously
dawson is one of her best friends in the world, the first time they connect for a goal once she’s a devil he jumps on her and they fall to the ice and squeeze each other for like a century
he’s like her comfort person and he’s one of the only people that she feels ok just going up to and like.. attack hugging when she’s upset
she is most often found standing under his arm and she’s always stealing ryleigh
cole is her #1 facetime buddy. he’s always on the phone while she’s like doing her hair or something. she has an automatic curling iron and he thinks it’s magic
he’s always her partner for chicken fight at the lake house cause ‘it’s harder to make short legs fall over’
very movie esque ‘duo that’s friends and nobody knows why cause they are so mean to each other’ vibes
nico is another one of her safe people cause after they were introduced in her first season she started going to him when she needed advice
he probably wasn’t the person to ask cause he wasn’t even all that experienced either at that time but regardless of if she took his advice she always felt like he understood
he likes to say that she trained him for his captaincy
he is protective as hell when it comes to her, too and he’s loud about it
seamus is her son. even while she’s a ranger. that is her son. she reaches out to him over instagram and is like how does moyle feel abt sharing?? cause i’m adopting you right now
she doesn’t know why
he doesn’t know why
he’s not complaining
that’s his mom now
she will absolutely never admit it but a lot of her game is based off trevor (as well as mm16) he’s very high energy and every time she saw him do something that had literally no place in an nhl game she was like heart eyed
if we think she was drafted with luke then she definitely had a FAT crush on him when he was on the u17 team
she can’t stand him (affectionate) now that she knows him better but he still inspires her a lot and all of the attention he gets for his style drives her even more
- rangers admin LOVES her cause she’s always on tiktok and she’s like ‘if u do this it’ll get views’
- twitter was in a FRENZY during the asg and the whole all star weekend
since it’s in toronto in 23-24 i can so see her trying to make an impression on mitch cause she wants to talk hockey with him so bad and i’m gonna assume austons there too so jack is butthurt that she’s hanging out with him and at some point he plops next to her on the bench and is like ‘we’re gonna get a goal together and we should plan a celly’
she’s opposed until he’s like ‘fine i’ll just pick you up and make you celly with me then’ and she gives in
(give me ideas for the celly)
but whatever it is they choose to do has people going fucking INSANE on twitter and tiktok and then the next four points they get together they just start making it more and more elaborate and at the last one (y/n goal, jack primary a) he just slides onto his knees and grabs her legs while she’s essentially t posing and yelling
they absolutely have the most energy out of anyone there (i don’t really remember the asg so i don’t even remember if the players even celly?? but i mean 5 pts warrants a scream celly even if it’s a scrimmage)
jack wouldn’t normally be like that for an asg but he’s LOVING the fact that almost all cellys include a hug
she views the all star weekend as one of her favourite nights and weekends off all time cause it’s one of the only times that all of the love she was getting and the love for her and jack overpowered all of the misogynistic keyboard warriors that hate women whining on socials and she had a completely positive weekend where all of her teammates were actually supportive and she felt wanted
commentators DO lose their shit over the two of them having such good chemistry and because commentating in the nhl is so bad i can assume that the words ‘a devil and a ranger’ were said about 28392748374 times that night alone
i want to say she gets mvp for the weekend but knowing the nhl it would be jack
he does not shut up about her during his interviews he’s like ‘she deserves this just as much or more than i do’ and then MORE people go insane cause jack ‘i didn’t know there was a town in new jersey’ hughes is eloquently complementing a teammate during a SCRUM
- she was genuinely so confused writing that comment cause at this point she’d called him j many times 😭 i think he was shocked she said it publicly but that’s all she could bring herself to reply
- assuming her first game in the nhl was before his they would probably meet in the 22-23 playoffs while luke was still in the press box
jack already had a HUGE crush on her and when she meets luke in the parking lot, walking with dawson she’s like !!!!!!! luke !!!!!!!
he’s with jack and jacks kinda thinking to himself like ‘she’s never like !!!!!! jack !!!!!!!!’ and dawson, being dawson invites them for beers at her place and she gets really close with luke that night
they’re giggling like they’re telling each other secrets and dawson is like ‘dude grow a pair and go fucking talk to her’
the next day luke’s texting her on the couch and she’s calling him moosey and her contact name is very incriminating and jacks a GROCUH for the rest of the day
- rangers debut? or devs debut? both??? i’ll do both
her debut with the rangers is so awkward because obviously she was chosen and signed because she’s skilled and deserves her spot
but a lot of them just do not like her
it’s the biggest reason she requested her trade
the only friend she felt that didn’t secretly just hate her guts for existing was igor, who obviously couldn’t help her case much seeing as he’s stuck in the net
during her very first game she was on the third line and her line mates were trying their very best to keep the puck from her cause they didn’t trust her with it
during the third period they’re down by two and she just takes the puck and leaves with it while her centre is obviously trying to set up a play that she was not meant to be a part of
she goes for the five hole and pots it and they don’t even really celly with her other than going behind her to shake hands with the bench
this fixes nothing and they still don’t want her with the puck so the coach moves her up a line and there’s much better chemistry and cooperation despite them still not being her biggest fan
igor gets it to her for a breakaway and she goes bar down with him as the only assist
this is mostly because the other team is also really underestimating her and they feel like they don’t really need to be on her
they’re covering her line mates cause they’re assuming she’ll pass and set up the play especially since her pass was from the goalie
the game goes to a shootout and after the other team misses their third shot the coach just kinda looks at the bench and calls her name
she’s shocked and the arena is dead quiet when she goes out on the ice
like pin drop quiet
she wins them the game and pretty much tells them that if they underestimate her again she’ll just let them lose and that she was signed for a reason and they need to grow tf up
her devs debut goes much more smoothly. it’s definitely a little harder for her to score at this point cause the other teams aren’t underestimating her as much
however the tension with her and jack is at an all time high after that text conversation
the first point she scores is a goal and jack isn’t an assist, it’s bratter and johnny
during the celly she smiles at him cause she feels different than her rangers debut - she feels different with the team and she feels like they actually love her and want her around
he wants so badly to make it up to her for everything he said in his messages and all he can think to do right in that moment is to hold the back of her helmet and knock his visor against hers a little
halfway through the period things between them are going so much better and the chemistry is very much there
she assists on his goal and they recreate the celly from the all star game and then she screams in his face out of pure excitement
he’s smiling at her like she created the world and people go nuts for that whole thing
a little bit into the second period is her wonderwall concert
her and dawson are belting with each other and there’s a gifset that goes around of the two of them singing that pans to jack being all heart eyed for her
the next shift she gets another goal, this one assisted by him and luke and the vibes are absolutely immaculate
during the very same shift luke scores, assisted by her and jack and she jumps onto luke like a proud older sister and shakes jacks shoulders all excitedly
in the final period she scores her last goal to complete the hattrick, assisted solely by jack
that’s when she jumps into his arms and he kinda spins around with her and squeezes her tight so her skates come off the ice a little
dawsons on the ice for this one cause it was mid shift change and he fake gags at them
she sticks her tongue out at him and when he joins the hug jack slides down to his knees and hugs her legs like he did at the asg
dawson screams ‘you two are fucking disgusting’ at the top of his lungs and she throws her head back and laughs
the post game celly includes a lot of beer and a shot for every one of her points (it was a long night) (there was a lot of making out) (and a lot of dawson, luke and johnny being grossed out) (and a lot of nico being a proud dad)
- them being on the same team is so good for everyone involved
chemistry?? off the charts
when they lose?? hugs on the bench
when they win??? jittery hugs on the bench
during the playoffs?? anxious hugs on the bench
being eliminated? you guessed it,
she’s a safe space for a lot of the team cause she gets it but it’s different? if that makes sense
they don’t usually rely on each other for emotional support hugs but with her they feel like that’s normal
in conclusion i love her

The Lost Boys favorite musicals
Tumblr media
David: 
 The Phantom Of The Opera
No matter how hard he try's to cover it up he’s a sap and a hopeless romantic 
He watched it and was 100 percent on the Phantoms side. And when Christine didn't choose him he definitely balled his eyes outs 
And Paul will never let him forget it 
He has also been caught multiply times belting out the songs multiply times when he thinks he’s alone
But if anyone ever brings it up he will deny it
All the boys notice a large similarity between the phantom and David. Specifically when the phantom tells Christine to “  Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams, Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before” or “ Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before, Let your soul take you where you long to be Only then can you belong to me” 
Remember when you did that to Michael? 
He sits there with a clip board and takes manipulation notes 
Tumblr media
Paul: 
Beetlejuice the Musical
This one was a little difficult but I think he would love this one, cause its crazy at all times
We all know he has a hard time paying attention but this musicals fast past and has loud funny songs and cool lights that just grab your attention and are hard to ignore 
He loved the original Beetlejuice show and movie but what's better then getting songs to screech to
Loves the “whole being dead thing” cause he’s dead to 
He either dressed up as Beetlejuice or miss Argentina for Halloween after watching it 
And tried to convince the others to dress up with him, key word being tried   
He also likes Sweeney Todd… for obvious reasons
Tumblr media
Marko: 
Newsies 
Have a theory that when he came to America he was a Brooklynn newsie boy before David turned him
He was just a mean little newsie from Brooklynn who bite people in fights
Which he never forgets to mention when they watch the movie 
He absolutely loves the singing, but the dancing is what really catches his eye
Not a week after watching it he has the whole chorography down and loves to dance to it on the boardwalk or teach it to other people on the boardwalk
Safe to say he has a gaggle of theatre nerd friends on the boardwalk
He tried to teach the other boys the chorography but the only one who would even try was Paul 
His favorite character is definitely Spot, he likes when he shows up during that one fight scene and says “never fear Brooklynn hears” 
I could also see him really like Chicago 
Tumblr media
Dwayne 
Les Misérables
We already know mans a communist 
He’d be ready to overthrow a corrupt government 
He LOVES Fantine cause she's such a good mother and he’d be really sad but prepared to cut off his hair for his kid
Always cry's when that kid makes himself a martyr cause he reminds him of Laddie 
For that matter all the kids remind him of Laddie 
But hey its called Les Misérables for a reason 
When they sing “master of the house” and are robbing all the people it reminds him off all the other boys when they bring people back to the cave 
Thanks @britany1997​ One of your posts inspired this lol

I just listened to a podcast clip that talk about a trend in TikTok about how some women ask to be treated like a princess but many of them dont want to take on a feminine role while expecting the man to take a masculine role and this make me thinking about ladynoir relationship because this feels similar to where the writing direction take. Like in Kuro Neko it's obvious that ladybug expect chat noir to just do what she said without question because as she said "I'm a guardian" she also expect chat noir to stop flirting with her all the while she didn't want to work on the relationship. Think again her relationship with Luka also work like that she barely do anything while Luka provide her everything which happen again in her relationship with Adrien. If this what people call as this show being feminist then I'd say this is toxic feminist show. You can't expect someone to change while not change yourself or give a reasonable answer as for why that change is needed.
You know what? This is true enough. I tend to blame this less on Marinette herself and more on the writers, but it is a trend for Marinette to mostly be attracted to guys who perform emotional labor for her while demanding nothing from her. I don't think she was wrong to want Chat Noir to stop flirting with her, but you're right that she more or less never has to do anything to comfort them while they just bend over backwards to attend to her emotional needs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not feminist to just swap the genders and just repeat the same tired tropes. It's not feminist to have the boys perform emotional labor for the girl while she does nothing on the same level for them. It wasn't good when women were being put in that position, and it isn't good now just because the genders are reversed.
Thank you for your ask!

“Of Herbert West, I can only speak with mild annoyance,” Dan tells the police when he finally stops shaking for long enough to string more than two words together. And oh, how they waited for that moment, with the recorders and notepads ready, impatient and faux-polite every time Dan tried to answer a question and broke down instead. Now, now he’s calmer, but also not that helpful since all that’s happened is just kind of foggy. Probably for the best. “Though we shouldn’t speak ill of the dead,” he adds, remembering the lessons he’s been taught from a very young age, because he’s always been a good kid.
The officer gives him a weird look after that last part.                  
“And there’s no reason to,” Dan says hurriedly. Why, he can’t tell. “I mean, in West’s case. He kept to himself, mostly. He… studied a lot, I think. Kept regular hours. Paid on time, didn’t party, didn’t have anyone coming over.”
Never left a mess, Dan wants to add, but that is so blatantly untrue given the circumstances, the words just refuse to leave his mouth.
“Then why the annoyance?”
Dan squints at the policewoman, trying to figure out what kind of question is that. Are they already gathering evidence against West? Well, yeah, probably, that’s why he’s here. There’s no suspect, no one to arrest anymore, just an entire morgue out of order and a lot of dismembered corpses. And some ... complete corpses. He wonders briefly to which group Herbert’s belongs, but tries to focus, lest he goes into shock once again. The officers here were clearly not taught how to deal with it, just like with everything that happened at Miskatonic. But it doesn’t seem like Dan was particularly prepared for any of that as well, and West’s fate suggests neither was he. Still, he gave Dan his notes, his life’s work, and Dan should probably hold on to these, otherwise it’s all for— all—
“What annoyance?” he asks.
He has to admit, the officer is really trying to remain polite. “The one you’ve just referred to, Mr. Cain,” she says, and she doesn’t even roll her eyes.
Dan pauses, considering the question. It’s not just that it’s the police asking it, it’s— it’s also the subject. He doesn’t know how to put it all into words, the insufferable demeanor, the ill-timed jokes and weirdly intense stare, the way West moves — moved — noiselessly, sneaking up on you until you— you were constantly on edge. The clipped voice, the contempt radiating from his every gesture, the absurdly well-pressed shirts that made everyone around him look sloppy. And other things as well, the things West caused.
But, no matter how much Dan would love for that to be true, he didn’t cause them all by himself. Dan was substantial in achieving this clusterfuck, and while West suffered the consequences, while Meg is lying there, Dan is apparently fine, absolutely fine and unharmed, struggling with putting a tenth of it into words.
He settles on, “Have you met Herbert West?”
“Yes, actually.” The officer winces. “Been called by the hotel staff to investigate a funny smell in his room last month.”
“Huh,” Dan says, unsure how to react without offering any information that would lead to the notes being confiscated. He should just give them to the police freely, he really should. They’re the cause of… all of this. They, and Dan.
“We found a rabid hamster,” the policewoman adds cheerfully.
Of course they did.
She waits for a second, awkwardly, clearly expecting an answer, but since there’s none, she returns to the original line of questioning.  “So you didn’t spend much time with Mr. West?” she asks, her smile only getting wider, as if that was supposed to hide the obvious trap.
Is it a trap, though?
“Not much.” Dan shrugs. “We worked different shifts. Barely passed each other in the kitchen.”
It’s not a lie.
The woman makes a show of shuffling papers and pretending to read something, and now Dan’s not that sure about her being polite anymore.
“It’s odd,” she says with hesitation that screams insincerity. “It says here in the report that he used to visit you at the morgue.”
Some part of Dan tells him he should be alarmed by the course of the conversation, but the rest of him can’t focus for long enough to tell why is that, too busy trying to avoid thinking about the place the officer’s just brought up.
“He came to visit once,” he says warily. “It just happened to be at the time when, um.” When the Dean was killed sort of by them? He was supposed to go the police with this fact himself, wasn’t he. And now, now they’d probably believe him, given what’s transpired. He told Meg he wanted to confess, he just needed proof. There’s plenty of it now. This is the perfect opportunity to face the music and, well, no, not come clean. Dan will never be clean, he’ll never be able to reverse or even atone for what happened, especially now, with West gone, when all of this was for nothing and all what’s left is the notes Dan traded for West’s life. “When the Dean came by as well,” Dan finishes, and it’s half this weird loyalty for his dead accomplice, half simple cowardice. “And got… angry.”
The officer gives a perfunctory nod and pretends to jot that down. Dan is pretty sure the subject is going to come back sooner or later.
“It’s an odd place to pay a visit,” she comments for now.
“Well.” Dan’s muscle memory immediately tells him how to rub his neck sheepishly. It would have had a better effect, though, had the hand not returned smeared with blood. He’s changed already. How the fuck did that happen? Does he still have blood in his hair? What else, then? “You know. It’s the place I worked in.”
“And why did Mr. West decide to visit you at work?”
Um.
“He knew I was upset that day.” Technically true, but now what? Do they know about the student loan? It’s not really an information he should volunteer to the police, it sounds like a motive. “My cat died the day before. It was rather… sudden,” he decides to say. “I had sort of meltdown when I learned about it.”
“What sort of meltdown?” the woman asks, and only now Dan can see the mistake he’s just made. Way to go, he’s probably being promoted from a witness to a possible suspect. “Are you prone to those?”
All he can do is shake his head.
“Were you angry that day?”
“No, just sad,” Dan says hurriedly, trying to salvage the situation. Though he wasn’t supposed to be doing that, he was supposed to come clean. “It just shook me up a bit, I’ve had him for years.” He gulps, but there’s absolutely no saliva in his mouth now. “Death… is always something hard to accept.” Still technically true. Can one perjure themselves outside of the court? Is that an offense that actually exists?
The officer’s sympathetic expression is what makes Dan remember why exactly he’s here. Ah yes, dealing with death. Yeah. It’s funny, how you can ignore an open wound for entire minutes, and then it reopens, even though it’s been there, gaping, all along. Now, it’s somehow bigger, and Meg is much more dead than a second ago, as if that were a gradable adjective.
But given that death indeed is something hard to accept — and there are so many ways of not accepting it, turns out, much more than Dan’s ever suspected — he just refuses to acknowledge the reality for a second longer, and carries on, “So he came to check up on me. He knew how much I liked him.”
“Oh.” The policewoman brightens up in a gotcha! kind of way. “So you two were close after all.”
“No, no, no.” Dan’s response is so hurried, it’s hardly natural. “I meant Rufus.”
“Who’s Rufus?” the officer asks in confusion that appears actually genuine this time, and Dan wants to scream.
It’s such a small thing, really, but it’s like he just can’t communicate the simplest thought, and that’s not even the real problem here. He doesn’t know what the police wants from him, and if he doesn’t know that, he doesn’t know what information to avoid.
Why is he trying to avoid anything, anyways? The worst has already happened. He can’t hurt West, nor Meg. Not anymore, that is. He’s done a pretty good job until that moment, though.  He tries to inhale through his nose, but it’s a bad idea. Some occupants of this office must have no reservations when it comes to smoking indoors, and the smell is making his nausea worse.
“Rufus is— yeah, um.” Jesus. Come on. “Rufus was—”
There’s a pathetic stutter even he can hear, and it’s not like he’s talking about a person or anything. It’s just Rufus, for now. There will be people he’ll need to talk about. How is he going to deal with the funerals if he can’t mention a dead cat?
Will he be expected to say something? In front of the casket? That probably depends on who he was to Meg, finally. A fiancée? Kind of, but more probably a boyfriend. She accepted his proposal, fine, but he’s not sure whether he accepted hers. He got distracted. No, actually, Herbert distracted him, and Dan’s pretty sure that was on purpose. Did they break up for real last night? Maybe an ex-boyfriend, then. Murderer? That one for certain, so why would they let him into the church at all? Does he have the right to go there?
At least in case of West, he’s pretty sure the event is not going to take place at a church. They’ve never discussed faith — why would they? — but something tells Dan, West wasn’t a very devoted follower of any religion. It’s entirely possible that he avoided temples because he’d burst into flames the moment he entered one of those. No one’s going to care enough to intervene, no matter who shows up during the very much secular ceremony, anyways. If anyone decided to come at all.
Dan would come. He’d want to come, he realizes. There, unlike at Meg’s funeral, he wouldn’t be an impostor but an accomplice. He deserves to be there, whatever the hell that means.
“Rufus was the dead cat,” he finishes as neutrally as he can.
“Hmm.” Now, the officer’s eyes are sharp again. Calculative, though in a different way than West’s were. She, for one, doesn’t seem insane. “There is a weird pattern of animal abuse allegations with Mr. West,” she remarks, trying to make it sound offhanded. “Five different cases, and every time, without fail, turned out it was a false alarm.”
“Rufus got his head stuck in a jar,” Dan says automatically. Doesn’t know why. “Suffocated.”

It doesn't mean JK doesn't trust Jimin
Proceeds to write an essay which only means JK doesn't trust Jimin with RM at all. Oh and should I remind you RM and Jimin and living in same apartment complex???? While JK is living in whole another place ???
Tbh IF jkk are a couple I can die on a hill to prove Jimin will never be unfaithful to JK but things you all write these days are just not it. For any reader it strikes as JK is too insecure about Minimoni's relationship. All while it's obvious RM is someone Jimin respects deeply and RM is always ready to help Jimin with anything. Their bond is strong because both are very mature people who mutually respect each other.
Tumblr media
People like you who lack reading comprehension skills really do my head in. If you don't understand something come and ask me. I am MORE than happy to explain and clarify.
First of all, anyone with eyes can tell JK has never truly settled in Brunnen. People make jokes about him living like a frat boy because of how empty the place looks. It's coz that's not his home. His home is where Jimin is. Them fighting on that run episode was not for naught. First the lamp
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then the couch and TV
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
That seemed way too natural. Like they've done that many times before. Jimin knew they would have different opinions coz its happened b4. And JK has great taste btw. Him and Jhope are the neatest members so I expect his actual home looks very stylish and very well furnished. Nine-one is their shared home so Minimoni being neighbours is irrelevant.
When exactly did I say Jimin has ever been or would ever be unfaithful to JK??? I see its come for Shaz day, today. I have said over a million times Jikook have been with each other and only each other since day one. I have also said many times all members not just Minimoni love and respect each other. But I guess u didn't see those posts, huh? How convinient.
My post was about one particular topic and that topic was the only one that I addressed. It had nothing to do with how Minimoni are outside of Jikook.
You saying that post was about how JK doesn't trust Jimin is fucking bull. JK being possessive and territorial over Jimin has nothing to do with trust. I've said it before, but if Jikook were not hiding, if they were public, JK wouldn't act the way that he does. He wouldn't need to claim Jimin.
things you write these days are just not it.
Nigga no one is forcing you to be here. Unfollow or block, you don't gotta see my shit! You're coming off like you don't believe that JK gets bothered or annoyed which is just lies Jikookers tell themselves for what reason, idk.
This man used the wrong fucking entrance just so he would be the one sitting next to Jimin and not Suga. Riddle me why he would do that? Please.
I'm guessing you also ignore the tongue in cheek thing he used to do when bothered or annoyed? Well then explain to me why he does it here when he hears that Jimin, V and Jin went hiking together.
Tumblr media
Last but not least this anti Minimoni moment where JK touches RM but when Jimin reaches for him JK prevents that from happening. It's very subtle and easy to miss but it's been kindly zoomed in for us here with dramatic music to boot
(Watch V watching JK's hands and see for yourself that that really happened. V sees everything) Here is the original thanks to @chim-chim1310 as always 😘😘 It makes sense that JK did that since everyone was just praising RM in that moment. 🤭🤭
But my point is this is just a JK thing that has nothing to do with him not trusting Jimin. From what I've gathered its actually normal in SK for men to be this territorial about their other halves.
I know it's taboo among Jikookers to talk about this side of Jikook. But just because I came along and I ain't afraid to bring up this sensitive topic doesn't mean u can come for me and call me a liar. You don't like me, block me. You wanna stick around then bloody get used to it.
Normalise discussing Jimin and JK being bothered by certain things when it comes to eo.
Oh! And should I remind you RM and Jimin and living in the same apartment complex????
With 4 question marks. Bitch please! As if we don't all know about this account that sells beds and only follows Jikook.
Tumblr media
Jikook were rumoured to be seen walking into a furniture store only for this account to follow them not long after. Now they're only following Jimin but that's because Mr. Rebel deleted his IG. Jikook live together anon, so don't talk to me about Minimoni being neighbours. It means fuck all in relation to the topic at hand.
Next time fix your tone when you need clarification from me or keep your damn reservations to yourself.

Episode 1X05 "Deux Amours" thoughts
(Warning: if I don't make sense in this post, I apologize. I've been trying to put this together for the past 20 mins but my brain has been fried by the episode it seems).
The fifth installment of the Daryl Dixon series is a GIANT - let me repeat this - G I A N T culminating expression of Daryl's fears/desires/drive to get home to Carol. If anyone was in doubt before they would have to be living in another dimension not to see it after "Deux Amours".
Starting with the conversations between Daryl and Azlan throughout the episode, Daryl's focus on getting home is clear. Our boy is still obsessed with finding a working radio for a specific call even in the flashbacks, but more on that later 😉. Azlan asks him about the promise he made which drives him on his journey to get back home, and Norman's acting of subtle reacting to the other man's points of (I'm paraphrasing) "sometimes a man's promise gets detoured around the realities of life" encompasses the tone of the entire show and the rest of the episode. "It's a home for the soul" If that isn't Caryl, I don't know what is.
When Laurent asks him about his friends there's an obvious pairing and splitting up of the groupings he chooses to answer with; Judith & RJ, Connie & Ezekiel, Carol. There are the kids, his friend ... and then " a woman named Carol". His pause and voice change upon saying her name warms my little shipper heart. If only Laurent hadn't jumped in so quick to continue the conversation. Look kid, the man was having a MOMENT! Read the room, sheesh. Lol.
I've haven't seen many bring this up but imo the young man at the gas depot during the flashback's was another huge planted plot point for Caryl. Daryl's whole thing has been how he needs to get home, and the kid is there "just trying to make it home to his girl". He promised he get enough gas to pick her up and take her away, the two of them together, out to California. Does that ring any bells to anyone???? NEW MEXICO IS STILL OUT THERE.
THAT radio call scene. Yes. Everything about it ... yes. I don't think I can do it justice trying to put it into words but @mcbride made a wonderful gifset of it for you to view or I know there are clips of the scene out there as well.
**Special recognition for the fact a lot of these Caryl callback scenes occurred by the river/while Daryl was in a make shift tent similar to the one at his s9 camp.**
Tumblr media
Now we've reached the infamous Daryl/Laurent/the boat scene. I'm not going to get into a debate of whether he was wrong or right to go off on a kid like that; I'm going to deal solely with my perceived reasoning behind Daryl's actions. IMO finding the boat gone and subsequently that Laurent is the one who cut the rope was the straw that broke the camels back - so it were - for Daryl's emotions through the whole show about going home. Everything had been building up emotionally for Daryl until this point in the series; every past attempt to get home thwarted or delayed somehow, and having the person who he's supposed to be getting to The Nest where he will get what he's been after ... a way home ... blow things up in his face was too much to bear. The thought that maybe he may not actually get back to Carol overwhelming him and leading him to blow up at Laurent. I think the timing of this scene in the episode should also be taken into consideration, immediately after the radio call.
The groundwork has been laid out for Carol's reappearance in the season finale, whether that is in France or somewhere else that is still yet to be seen but all roads lead to Caryl.

Stories To Be Told: PART 2
Series Index
A shadowsinger, a warrior, an Illyrian, that's what she was. Trained by one of the most formidable female warriors. Escaped the Illyrian camps and her clipping when she was barely sixteen and is now the holder of 6 siphons. What happens when she tries to sneak into the City of Starlight? And starts down a whole new road of chaos?
↢ 『 ☾ 』 ↣
I curiously stepped out of the door. The little building I was in had 5 other rooms, and an exit that had a small platform before it dropped off a mountain. Up, I supposed, was the direction to this House I was now required to attend for dinner.
With my High Lord. And Spymaster. Probably the General too. Great, I groaned.
I jumped off the platform, gliding lazily down into the trees where I settled to gather myself. The sun was much farther in the sky than it was early morning when I had reached the rock outcropping.
What was I going to do now? One trip to Velaris had landed me in chains, and a promise to go to dinner. At least I had all my things now. I paced across the mossy ground, wondering. I probably would have to share quite a bit about myself to stop the chains from coming back, and I probably could do that without a panic attack, but what would happen afterward?
And what the hell was that reaction after Azriel had slapped me? Immediate disappearance? Really? What even did that mean?
I hung out, hidden among the trees until the sun hit the horizon.
I was sitting in a tree, watching around me. I knew someone was watching me, but I didn’t know where or why, so I instead gave them nothing to watch.
When the sun touched the horizon, as promised, I went to dinner.
I took off into the air, pumping my wings downward to fly up the mountain ridge. As I was doing that, I also made sure my shadows were under control. I kept that part of myself hidden. Lest others think of me as more than ordinary, and through that, more dangerous. It was tiring to keep them hidden all the time, but I made due. I could not risk it. Right?
I landed on the obvious balcony, settling my wings against my back and looking around wearily. The door opening inside opened. Azriel was behind it.
“This way,” he said simply, holding the door open. “Just walk straight down the hallway.”
I cautiously walked inside, hearing the door shut behind me as Azriel followed me inside. I slowed a bit to make sure Azriel wasn’t walking right behind me.
“We’re not going to harm you,” he assured, walking beside me down the decorated hallway. “Nobody in the room will if you don’t.”
“How many are there?” I asked.
“Rhysand, Feyre, Cassian and I. Mor and Amren and then Elain, Lucien and Nesta,” the spymaster listed off. “Don’t glare at Nesta. She’s more fiery than anyone here.”
I didn’t reply, just categorized the people in my mind based on what I knew.
Rhysand and Feyre were the High Lord and High Lady. Mates, and extremely powerful individuals.
Cassian and Azriel, the most powerful Illyrians alive.
Mor, the third and pretty powerful on her own.
Amren, terrifying in her power. Second in the Night Court.
Elain and Nesta, Feyre’s sisters. One of which is mated to Cassian.
And Lucien, a male from the Spring Court, who was born in Autumn Court. Who I knew absolutely nothing about.
I didn’t bother to take off my weapons as Azriel led me into a room full of all the people he’d spoken of. 
Rhysand spotted us, standing next to his mate. He waved us over.
Azriel stood by me while I kept my wings pulled in tightly as I walked over.
“Feyre, this is Y/N. Y/N, this is the High Lady and my mate, Feyre,” Rhysand introduced us.
I dipped my head to her. I knew of what she’d done to free us of Amarantha and then of Hybern. She deserved my respect.
“It’s very nice to meet you Y/N,” Feyre said, smiling. “And just call me Feyre. Rhys likes to make a spectacle.”
I nodded stiffly, hands curling at my sides to rub the sweat off. I guess I had reasons to be nervous at the moment, I decided.
“Let’s all take a seat to eat,” Rhysand suggested.
Nobody took the head of the table surprisingly, I noticed. I was sitting in between Azriel and who I thought to be one of Feyre’s sisters. Either Elain or Nesta.
She glared at me when she caught me scanning her. I settled back into the chair for wings I sat in, quirking a brow.
“Do you even know how to use those weapons you carry?” She asked, sneering.
I saw Cassian tense beside this female, and Azriel’s shadows drew closer to his body.
“I’m trained,” I replied simply. “And who might you be?”
“Nesta,” she replied simply, turning back to Cassian. Her mate, I noted.
Across the table sat Mor and Amren. I only knew that because one unlucky visit to Hewn City almost got me run over by Amren. A terrifying experience to be honest. 
“Anything interesting about you?” Amren asked, spotting me glancing around. “Or just another boring Illyrian?”
I tensed slightly, curling my hands into fists beneath the table. I really didn’t want to share much here, but I saw a lot pause to look at me in the corners of their eyes.
“I escaped about 2 centuries ago from a war camp,” I replied simply. “And I was trained by the Raven.”
That got everyone’s attention.
“The Raven, eh?” Amren replied. “Very interesting. Is she still out and about in that forest?”
I shook my head. “Dead, resting in a cave with the sounds of a waterfall nearby, peaceful.”
“I see, I’m sorry for the loss, assuming you two were close,” Amren said. I just averted my gaze. Gods, now everyone in the room was sizing me up and judging me.
Nesta spoke up beside me, “Who’s the Raven?”
Cassian answered, “A well known female warrior from the War. She shifted into a raven and was a very good warrior.” He regarded me. “Interesting you were trained by her. How did she die?”
I pursed my lips. “She was my master in Winter for a century. She passed when I re-entered the Night Court at the border. Illyrian patrol.”
Cassian choked on his wine. Then he sputtered. “How long ago?” He demanded.
I narrowed my eyes. “About a hundred years, why?”
“So that’s why the fucking patrol died. Goddamn,” the General sighed. “They murdered the Raven?!”
“And I murdered them in return,” I finished.
Cassian sighed. “Alright, considering who they killed, they were asking for it.”
“How many siphons do you carry?” Azriel asked beside me. “I can't quite see them all from here.”
I turned to face the other male, lifting my chin slightly and turned to either side to let him see the siphons. “Six,” I replied simply.
“Interesting,” the shadowsinger said. “I suppose that would allow you to kill that many. Not with ease though, how injured were you? I’m just curious.”
I replied before I thought. A dangerous mistake. “No injuries.”
“How?” Azriel asked.
I tensed, hands in a fist and wings drawn in tightly. I took a deep breath before wreathing myself in shadows. My shadows. My whispers.
Amren’s eyes sparkled with surprise. Azriel remained still, frozen beside me. Nesta, looked me up and down again, reevaluating.
Cassian and Rhysand seemed very surprised.
“A shadowsinger,” Feyre breathed aloud for everyone to hear. “You’re a shadowsinger?”
I met her gaze and then nodded. “I weave the shadows as my own,” I replied. “I winnowed to avoid injury. With rage fueling me, it wasn’t all that difficult.”
Rhysand spoke up, “now that is very interesting. You come from a war camp though, how were there no reports?”
“I suspect the lord kept it to himself, or it was unconfirmed, as I killed the ones who hunted me. The shadows did not come to me until after I’d escaped,” I explained. If I was already sharing so much about myself, why not a little more?
“Wait,” Cassian suddenly spoke up. “Are you the Escaped? Female Illyrian rogue who was thought to have died?”
“Yes,” I answered. “That's me. I left the Night Court and returned. That’s most likely why they assumed my death.”
“I remember hearing the news when I first became High Lord. The rogue’s death was celebrated by Ironcrest even,” Rhysand said. “Do you know which war camp you come from?”
“Ironcrest,” I said.
“Why did you run?” Cassian asked, curious. I looked at him and everyone else for a moment. Just to see if anyone was going to stop the horrible memories from coming out. Most just looked at me, curious as well.
“My friends were clipped during their first bleeding. My mother told me what it was about. And so I tried to escape. I was caught. I had stolen a single siphon, and when the lord came out with a knife to clip me, I ran,” I explained, not meeting anyone’s eyes.
I saw the three Illyrians in the room tense at the mention of clipping. “I see,” Cassian breathed. “Perhaps you were labeled wrongly as a rogue then.”
“There is a story behind everyone,” I said simply. “Some are horrid.”
A couple beats of silence followed. Then Mor spoke up. “Let’s eat,” she suggested.
Then food appeared on the table. How? I didn’t honestly know, or care. Probably some sort of magic. Or perhaps it was Rhysand.
On my plate was meat with mashed potatoes and then bread that had cheese melted into it. After only having deer meat, or rabbit, this kind of meal looked heavenly. And it had been almost a century since I last had potatoes of any kind.
Everyone elected to dig in, trying to ignore the conversation that had just occurred. I ate quickly, but tried to not devour my food like a monster. I managed to be civil enough to use a fork.
After I wiped my face with a napkin, Nesta turned to me. “How well trained are you with those weapons?”
I eyed her suspiciously. From the things I’ve heard about this female, she was not the type to be kind. 
“Over a century of training and a century of practice on top of that,” I replied simply, meeting her gaze. “I’d say I’m very well trained, considering I beat the Illyrian males with ease.”
“And do you live nearby?” She continued.
I narrowed my eyes, focusing on her, my shadows also floating nearer in curiosity. “I have no current location I'm staying at,” I replied. “I live in the forests in temporary homes where the food is common.”
Nesta averted her gaze for a moment, as if thinking about something. I stared a bit longer until she finally said, “Would you like to come to where we train?”
Cassian coughed beside her, and Nesta simply kicked him with her foot. I held back my amused smile as Cassian went to glare at his mate.
“Where? And when?” I asked. “I wouldn’t mind coming I suppose.”
Nesta smirked and answered, “Here, early morning until around noon. But there are a couple rules.”
I dipped my head slightly for her to continue.
“The females that are training come from the library below us. Most are… damaged. So be gentle. I don’t know you, so if you’re rude, I have no trouble kicking your ass,” Nesta threatened.
“I understand,” I replied. “I’ll kick my own ass. Tomorrow, then?”
Nesta nodded slowly and then turned back to Cassian. I turned away. I suppose it wouldn’t be bad to see what the new female Valkyrie team were up to. I’d been curious how they trained, seeing as two of them made it to the very top of the mountain during the Blood Rite. That news spread impossibly fast through the lands. Even to other courts, I bet. The Archeron sister that was Made by the Cauldron, has been training and has a new well trained female fighting force. Named by that of the Valkyries from old times. Rainne, my master, loved to tell me stories about the old ones. She fought beside many, but never became one herself.
After the dinner was over, Rhysand came up to me. “Good luck with Nesta,” He said. “If you would like… there is a residence in Velaris you may stay in, should you decide to stick around for training.”
I eyed him. “Maybe,” I simply replied. “Thank you for dinner, but I’ll stick to my normal living pattern for now.”
Rhysand nodded. “Very well. Good luck then.”
I dipped my head and he walked off, speaking to Feyre about checking on someone named Nyx. Their child, my mind reminded me. Feyre and Rhysand had a youngster to care for. This had probably been too tense of a dinner for them to bring the young child.
Once most had left, Azriel came up to me. “I’ll see you at training then?” He said in a questioning tone.
“You’re coming?” I replied.
“Who do you think helps train them?” He chuckled. “Cass and I are the ones training them.”
That made sense. “Then I suppose I will see you there,” I said. “Goodbye.”
He waved and as I walked down the hallway back to the balcony to dive off, I made sure my shadows were hidden. I made sure my emotions were also in check and then I leaped off the balcony, gliding for about a mile before making it to the forest. I walked an extra mile for good measure through the darkness and then I went into the bag laying between my wings and pulled out a small little beaded pillow I carried around and then settled up in a tree branch, my wings being crushed against the bark, sure, but I didn’t plan on setting up a camp here. It was too close to Velaris in my opinion. And the ground here was dry.
I put the pillow behind my neck and then, with a dagger resting between my thighs for an easy grab, I fell into a deep restful sleep.
