#Also I do want to say Ryan is literally so smart

Can we talk about how Dylan is super observant and it's literally canon? He's attentive, he pays attention to people's body language and tone and then he acts accordingly.
Whenever he accidentally upset someone as "Blasè-Dylan" by being flippant or making a joke, he immediately remedied it. Changing the topic and smoothing it over or even telling another joke to lighten the mood. Eg;
When Ryan thought he was making fun of him for listening to podcasts
When he almost outed Abi as a virgin
He realised "oh shit I put my foot in my mouth" and fixed it right away without directly bringing attention to it. We see these little glimpses of "Dylan-Dylan" all the way through the game. The softer, more mindful side to the wise- wise cracking smart ass.
Ryan says "smooth" sarcastically but he IS smooth. He's genuinely charming and while he mostly uses it for jokes and deflection (and flirting with Ryan), he also uses it to control the flow of conversation to take the heat off someone who's uncomfortable, like Abi during truth or dare and also himself in general lmao.
One of the most interesting moments in the game is when Laura shows up at the lodge door after Nick turned and Ryan's being defensive/protective and doesn't want to let her inside. Dylan tells Ryan "You're not in charge." And opens the door to let her in. He identifies that Ryan is stressed and getting angry, so Dylan takes the decision out of his hands.
Dylan-Dylan is more than capable of taking charge of a social situation, he just chooses not to most of the time. Maybe it's out of awkwardness, maybe he just prefers to be the conversation buffer for other people rather than the focal point. Maybe it's because he's not brave and doesn't see himself as a leader. But we know he's capable of it because we see him do it
It's one of the reasons I'm curious why people saw the scene where Dylan tells Ryan about "Dylan-Dylan" and perceived that as anxiety because his actions just aren't the actions of someone with anxiety (imo). Awkward? Definitely. But not anxiety.
He's so socially conscious while also being awkward. Maybe his awkwardness is what forced him to become so attentive and observant. But that's on being a three dimensional character. If only one character got properly fleshed out, I'm so glad it was him because he gets more interesting every time I replay the game.

can we talk about how it was book daemon that spoke out against just attacking KL with all of their dragons and said that they should fight smart? show!daemon would never and i hate how they ruined him. in the book he's incredibly cruel, yes, but also strategic, intelligent. when he was a young man he was hotheaded and impulsive but by the time of the dance he was in his 50's, more mature and calm. in the show they made him into a bloodthirsty lunatic to make maegora look good. and it's funny considering how in the book it was rhaenyra that was wayyy more vengeful , impulsive and bloodthirsty. they had to ruin every single character in hotd to make maegora look good because in f&b she's literally the worst. like she's the villain of the entire dance she's insane.
i loved book alicent and her anne Boleyn vibes so muchhh ! book alicent actually fit the "girlboss" stereotype so much more than miss maegor so of course they had to ruin her character completely.
and the whole "friendship" plot? what is this bs???? i wanted anne boleyn vs bloody mary! why do people assume that feminism is always about how men are the true villains and women are the hopeless victims? rhaenyra and alicent are not victims, they are overprivileged power-hungry women that hated each other's guts and were the leaders of their factions. they are not friends. they were never friends. there is no need for them to be friends. this is so stupid.
nettles is one of my fav characters and i'm terrified for my girl. they will prob make her a "victim" of daemon or vilify her to make maegora and dumbmyra look good. rhaenyra was always the villain in nettles story, she's racist and tries to kill netty even though she never betrayed her and fought for her cause (while miss maegor sat on her ass in dragonstone).
maegora was so useless during the dance, she did NOTHING. that's prob why i lean towards team green - say what you will about aegon, (i'm not even talking about the show version of him) he fought until the very end.
Everything you said anon x1000 👏🏽This show really has become the how Miss Maegor(and to a slightly lesser extent Alicent) was wronged by the patriarchy show. Everything else has been put on the back burner, storylines, and characterization have been taken away to prop up this racist flop. She is the opposite of a girl boss(yep book!Alicent fits that description better).
I’m not going to get into how other characters have been butchered, had their light dimmed, or look outright idiotic to make Missy Anne look better(Aegon, Laena, Baela, Rhaena, Helaena, hell even some of Corlys and Rhaenys actions don’t make sense). Or how certain characters who show the true nature of her character are nowhere to be found(Nettles; her almost victim).
Daemon wasn’t perfect in the books, but he comes off as almost mentally unstable in the show. At best one can liken him to a spoiled toddler throwing tantrums and lashing out cause his big bro doesn’t love him/ solely focus all his attention on him. They are actively taking away what little redeeming qualities he has(competent military man, loving husband to Laena, Nettles🙃) to turn him into some big baddie.
Alicent has been made into a weak and confused woman when she was a fully functioning capable woman in the books. To be honest, Olivia Cooke’s acting is probably saving this character because her actions from episode 8 on don’t make any sense. (Why the hell would anyone still want to be friends with someone who cared less about their child being maimed)?
Ryan keeps saying Fire & Blood is biased(debatable considering we have three different accounts of events and one of them is from someone who would lick Miss Maegor’s butt free of charge), but the version of the Dance he’s telling definitely isn’t the truth. This is crap borderline fanfiction(I’ve read better fanfiction).

my own personal opinion on the rottmnt turtles in hogwarts houses:
Miguel: Ravenclaw. Mikey is SUPER creative, it's kind of his thing. Ravenclaws also value wit, and all of Mikey's jokes are well-timed, he's got a mental sharpness and has an inventive way to make a joke. He's also really smart - the episode with the mystic metal? he says to raph "we're not saying you never have good ideas, we're just saying that sometimes we do to!" he's got street smarts and creative smarts, and strategic smarts. (he could really be any house, i think
Ravenclaw would be the best fit tho) he's the ravenclaw who you think doesn't belong there, but once you get to know the house you'd never be able to imagine him anywhere else.
Big Red: Hufflepuff! Raph is like ... the definition of Hufflepuff. Loyalty, patience, trust, strong sense of justice, hard-working. Literally Raph. I think he could be in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, but Hufflepuff would suit him best (in my opinion.) Plus, he's always trying to better the team by doing team building exercises (at least i think he does that often, seems like something he'd do) and teamwork is a big part of the hufflepuff house. he's the stereotype of the house - looks open and friendly, who's hugs are warm and safe.
Von Ryan: Slytherin. Before anyone yells, I'm both a donnie kinnie and a slytherin. Donnie belongs here lmao. The way he always tries to improve himself and is extremely goal-oriented. Slytherins value resourcefulness, and Donnie has had to learn to be resourceful when living in the sewers. He gets all of his stuff from a junkyard. Plus, dry humor? perfectionist? big on cost/benefit analysis? donnie fr. he seems like the stereotypical slytherin, the one who's quiet and everyone thinks is evil. (he'd also excel at potions.)
Leon: Tbh, he's pretty hard. I think he could either be gryffindor or slytherin, but also ravenclaw and fit almost perfectly in those houses, but I think he belongs in slytherin. im also a leo kinnie (heh) and honestly? Sarcastic humor, confident (or pretends to be,) competitive and charismatic? literally both signs of gryffindor and slytherin? it's so hard but he has a practical eye and the ability to quickly adapt when needed. he also has a lot of common sense, instead of taking on things he knows he can't do he results in something achievable (paper theives) and he's incredibly persuasive, a trait valued by slytherins. he seems like the slytherin who thinks they're better than everyone else, and once you get to know them you realize they actually are.
April: Hard one! She's so spunky and full pf personality (i love her so much) but i think she belongs in gryffindor. The first episode alone shows me that. Gryffindor traits are bravery, honor, loyalty, boldness and have strong moral centers. I think this is mostly shown in her interactions with the boys. (which is like the only interactions she has ok i know) She's willing to dive head-first into a conflict if it meant she could help her family somehow. There's no doubt that she would go to the ends of the earth for them, and if you think she'd turn her back her boys, you're crazy.
Cassandra: Gryffindor. Don't argue. When reading her wiki (it describes the characters way more in depth than i could) it talks about how much she values being loyal to the foot clan and how energetic/enthusiastic she is. She's courageous and stands up for what she believes is right, just like a gryffindor. She's always wanting to better herself and is quite stubborn.
Casey Jr: I know what house he's in, but i almost didn't want to sort him because it meant someone would be alone...he's a hufflepuff, through and through (i feel bad for leaving mikey alone, but he'll make friends soon enough.) Casey is hard-working and loyal, as we can see in the movie - taking on the mission leo told him to, and not once complaining, just worried about how he could complete it. He has honest the whole way through, not sugar coating anything to beating around the bush. and unafraid of being direct. He's also very polite and kind (i love him guys) and listens to other's input and ideas.

Ryan Erzahler NSFW Alphabet 😆✊🏾 my boy barely gets any love and i dont understand why😭😭 love your fics btw😌❤️
No cause you're literally so right. I barely ever see any ryan smut or nsfw content so here you go! I hope its good!
☆ RYAN ERZAHLER NSFW ALPHABET ☆
A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)
I think ryan would be the type to be really sweet after sex. Like he would caress your face and give you that lil smile he does, and kiss you really gently. Ugh i just know hes the cuest thing.
B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
His favourite of his own would be his hands. He knows they're hot.
And for his partner I think either smile or eyes. And a lil ass 😏
C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)
Hes for sure a cum in your mouth kinda guy. Either that or i can see him wanting to cum on your back.
D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
I think he listens to nsfw audios. And would maybe even secretly make a few himself 👀
E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)
Honestly i dont think Ryan is very experienced. Hes not a very social person and i can see that affecting his relationships/sex life. So i feel like he only really has sex with people that he connects with.
F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying.)
Doggyyyyyy. 100% you cant change my mind. Giving AND recieving.
G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Ryans more of a serious guy when it comes to sex. Not a lot of joking around or bing goofy but hes not all serious. The right partner would bring it out.
H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Clean shaven for sure.
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
I feel like he would start out kind of stiff or awkward and then once he eased into it and got more comfortable he would be super passionate. Very into the moment, and possibly very heated.
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
Ryan doesn't jack off very often at all. Maybe once a week? If that. He doesn't have a super high sex drive.
K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)
Neck. Biting.
L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)
Almost always at home or in a bed. He would turn down a car fuck though 😏
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Nerds. Lol no but like someone intelligent, we all know this man is a himbo okay? He need someone smart to balance him out. So i can see him sitting there listening to his partner talk about something he has no idea about (ex. Quantum physics 😏) and literally all he hears is gibberish because all he can think about is how hot the words sound coming out of their mouth. Know what i mean? Does that make sense? 😬
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Bondage. Its deffinitely not something he would feel comfortable with, like it just wouldnt turn him on at all.
O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
This man would never turn down a good blow job. Hes nore of receiver than giver but he knows what hes doing with his mouth
P = Pace (Are they fats and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)
Ryans the kinda guy who likes it intense, like passionate af. He loves to get really into it and just kinda lose himself to the passion and his partner.
Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
Hes not really a quckie kinda guy but he'll deffinitely do it if his partner asks.
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Not a huge risk person, but he would experiment. Especially with threesomes. Dont ask me why, it just makes sense lol
S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
I think ryan could go a solid 3 or 4 rounds before he couldn't cum anymore
T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)
Hes always down to try different toys. He even has a few himself.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
This boy LOVES to be teased and over stimmed. To the point where his jaw is clenched and hes drooling just a lil 😏
But not much of a teaser himself.
V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)
Pretty quiet, he grunts and moans a lil but hes pretty tame.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
This man likes fucking in water. Period.
Also a slight mask kink 😉 cmon he loves horror, tell me he wouldnt love to be fucked my ghost face or michael myers.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
Im gonna say hes somewhere around 7-8 inches, with it being more lengthy than girthy
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
Again ryans sex drive isnt too high but it really all depends on his partner and the situation.
Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
I feel like he would stay up for a sold hour or so to cuddle and make sure his partner felt comfortable and loved ❤ few face/head and shoulder kisses and when he feels satisfied he'll let himself drift off.

8 | Island of idiots
Series: Odds Together
Paring: Ryan Dunn x OFC Margera!
Word Count: 1.9k
Warnings: None
| MASTERLIST |
Tumblr media
~
"I'm not taking part in this." I watch the guys get things together to strand our parents on a island.
"But you are going on the boat ride because they will know if you stay home." Bam tells me as they shove food in the bag.
After the boat ride we all get off on the island to look around. Dad ends up having to pee so the guys leave. "They plan on leaving us here right?" Mom asks me.
"I'm not part of it so don't get mad at me." I put my hands up. "I will not be dragged down with his plan." I say walking away because I didn't want to be near my dad when he pees.
I join the guys and start to realize the worst thing ever leaving the three alone especially after hearing dad shout for Don Vito. "No, no, no." I rush past the guys confusing them.
"Really mom!" I shout that she left me here with the guys.
"Why do you seem upset?" Bam asks so I point out at the boat.
"You know what. I know you were gonna do it to us so we're gonna do it to you instead. Sorry Anna but you walked away before I could call you back." She shouts to us making the guys get annoyed.
"Why me?" I throw my head back whining.
"It's not that bad." Raab tells me.
"I'm stuck on a island with you asses!" I shout at him as I sit down and just watch them do whatever waiting for stuff.
"You know putting the whole can of bean on the fire is not a smart idea right." I look at Ryan who didn't care.
When he went to went to get them with a stick he hits it making the can explode shocking everyone. "I told you, you idiot!" I shout at him.
"Ryan! Why?" I complain watching him throw the cake in the fire.
"Who burned the cake?" Rake asks seeing it in the fire.
"This prick." I slap Ryan's hat off him.
"Hey!" He picks it up to put it back on.
"You're wasting food! And I would like something to eat because you guys are eating everything so quickly when you aren't wasting food." I explain running my hand through my hair.
"Have a bag of chips I called dibs on." He goes over getting it then hands it to me. "Also here. I notice your hair is bugging you." He puts his sunglasses on me and push them up so I could just them as a headband.
"Thank you." I go sit down to eat while they go watch Glomb build.
When it gets finished and all they guys skate and watch as I sit alone slowly falling asleep but keep waking up when they get too loud. More time passes and it starts to rain so we had no shelter to keep us covered.
"Glomb, why don't you use wood for shelter now? You guys had your fun with it." I walk over to him holding myself getting slightly chill away from the fire.
"Good thing there's someone smart out here with us." He pats my shoulder calling some to go help him.
Most of us just watch Glomb and Dunn try to build the hut for all of us. "Dunn, you have it in the fire." I watch him.
"Dunn, you're leaning it in the fire." Raab says next so Ryan mocks us walking off. When we see him come back with the fire extinguisher Dico, Raab, and I jump up to move. And he gets yelled at for almost putting out the fire.
We see Don Vito show up saying he was there to save us but Bam says we don't want to be saved. "I'd like to go." I say as he said whoever wants to who with him can go.
"We're accepting the challenge." Bam tells him but I shake my head.
We all get in the hut but Vito ended up taking my seat so I had nowhere to sit anymore. "Anna, just come sit here." Dico motions between him and Ryan on the long lawn chair.
I stare at it not seeming enough room so Ryan crosses his leg for me to sit down. Dico passes me a beer while they play cards drinking. As a little bit of time passes Dico and Bam switch spots and the guys start to fart around literally. I zip my jacket all the way up and pull it over my head to get away from the air.
"This is the last call the boats leaving." Vito gets up to leave and I try to get up but Ryan wraps his arms around me to keep me with them.
"You guys suck ass." I whine not fighting just leaning back on his chest.
"Are you not gonna move?" He laughs putting the cards aside and drinks.
"No. If I'm stuck here you're my fucking pillow for tonight." I say so he carefully moves me to sit sideways. Both of my legs were over his right thigh while my butt sat between his legs.
"We should get some sleep. No funny business you two." Bam says eyeing Dunn and Dico with me.
"Only thing on my mind is sleep." Dico tells him as I cuddle into Ryan falling asleep.
At a random point in the middle of the night, well according to Ryan's watch it was 3am, I wake up uncomfortable. I carefully lean out of Ryan's chest and forward to remove the can in his hand.
"Come back." He mumbles making me look at him. "You were keeping me warm." He weakly puts his arms out pulling me back into his chest.
"I was uncomfortable." I whisper to him so he helps me stretch out more without waking up Dico.
"How about now?" He asks holding me close to his chest. My left arm wraps across his chest before I just nod my head closing my eyes falling back to sleep.
The next morning I wake up before any of the guys do. I get up carefully and walk around the island to stretch my legs and find a spot to pee. "Just had to go wake me up second, huh?" Ryan shows up.
"I tried my best not to. Did you wake up any of the others? I wanted to find a spot to pee with you guys asleep." I tell him.
"I woke Bam up. Who probably woke up the rest but I'll be your look out. So go pee." He says so I rush off to pee then go back to him.
"Thank you." I yawn.
"When we get back you're taking a nap aren't you?" He laughs.
"In my nice comfy bed, yes." I yawn again as we walk back to the hut. "What are you doing?" I ask seeing them break apart the hut.
"Burning it." Bam tells us so I sit down to watch them do whatever for the next three hours.
Soon we only had a few more minutes till our 24 hours were up. "Shouldn't mom technically be here already so when it's time we can just get on the boat?" I ask Bam next to Ryan and I.
"We have five minutes left." Ryan looks at his watch so I lean back to look so he shows me.
"I hate this woman so much more now for leaving me here with you guys longer." I prop my arms up on Ryan's knees using them as a arm rest.
"I'm telling you she didn't arrange anything to come get us. She plans on leaving us here so much longer." Ryan says messing with my hair as we sit and wait.
"She wouldn't do that to me...right?" I look at Bam then back at Ryan.
"Well she left you here with us so... I would say yes." Ryan pats the top of my head making me whine.
"Ape, where are you?" Bam calls our mom since she's way late. "Who the hell is coming to get us? We're like an hour over do and we did your stupid little thing." He tells her. "You didn't arrange anything?" He looks over at Ryan and me.
"Told you." Ryan tells him so I whine laying my head back on him.
"Ha, rad. Thanks. Dude, you're so screwed. Do you expect there to be no consequences. Just wait. Wait till the six o'clock news. Watch the six o'clock news. I'm telling you watch it." He says then she hands up.
Glomb said he was going to build us a boat but I keep quiet not saying he could have used wood from the hut to help him with it.
I kinda wish they didn't burn the hurt because I would have loved to stay out of the rain. "Ah!" I see Raab's eyes as he finally gets up. "That's really bad, Raab." I walk closer to him to see his eyes puffy from the fire extinguisher.
"They're fucking burning." He brings his hands towards his eyes.
"No, don't touch them." I grab his hands stopping him. "You'll irritate them more. And I know is staying out here all night didn't help that."
"Looks who's finally awake." Bam shows up then laughs seeing Raad.
"Not, funny. Where's Dunn?" Raab asks so Bam points in the direction. "Look at my eyes you jerk off. Look what you did to me dude. The fire extinguisher. I'm not kidding look at this. Their burning like hell." Raab goes up to him and Rake.
Soon Glomb shows up with a boat and I just wanted to get home to take a shower and put in clean clothes. "Raab, stop touching your eyes." I slap his hands away.
The moment we get home I run to my room to get clean clothes and jump into the shower. After that I lay down on my bed letting out a relaxed sigh. "Hey, you wanna sit and wait for mom? Her reaction is going to be great." Bam walks into my room.
"Sure." I get up going outside with him and the guys to sit and wait.
"Ape's on her way home right now and I don't bet she's pissed, I know she's pissed." Bam tells the camera.
"She flew around that corner." I laugh as she shows up.
"I've never seen her drive so fast." Ryan adds laughing.
"What an asshole. I don't even know who I'm more mad at." She walks over to us.
"Yeah. You're mad at me?! You left us out there. You didn't even leave us anything. I had to call my own connections." He tells her and they bicker back and forth.
"How could you let them make me think the house exploded?" Our mom crosses her arms at me.
"How could you leave me with all of them?! And over 24 hours at that." I add.
"Again you walked away before I could tell you let's leave them." She says again.
"I'm gonna go take a nap in my nice comfortable bed. No one bug me." I laugh running to the house.

Coworker Linda Update 6.02
So Linda literally could not stop talking about Oliver’s comment on Ryan’s sexy photo. She apparently follows them on IG now and is very interested in what’s going on with them 😂 She texted me this morning, “What does 4 exclamation points mean??? They fucked??” Hahaha I love her I do!!
Her thoughts on the episode!!
“Ok that tunnel cheating scandal was a little suspicious to me. Now I’m no smart cookie, but I’m thinking, isn’t it weird that they were using a tunnel that was in a closet to have an affair? Something about it being IN A CLOSET??? Almost as if it’s foreshadowing someone coming out of a closet perhaps??? Idk the way the camera kept zooming in on Eddie the entire scene made me think it’ll be him coming out of the closet. If not Eddie then why bring up being buried AND being shot in the shoulder? His wife asked for a divorce too so he also had a marriage that ended. Yeah no I’m so convinced it’s all a set up to Eddie coming out or something. If I’m wrong you all can tell me to shut up. But now that I’m thinking about this, it makes sense!!! Oh this is going to be magnificent!!!”
“Buckster helps the shot guy who’s been buried?? Now where have we seen this before hmmm? Do they think I’m stupid? Clearly I’m not because it’s all fucking right there. They’re making it so obvious!!”
“Don’t think I didn’t notice the quick look they shared in the beginning. That’s married shit. No other words.”
“Awwww them standing with their arms crossed!!! They look so cute. They actually look like a couple. Also so beefy and muscular! I’m torn about wanting them to pick me up or pick each other up. Gosh it was getting so hot for me watching their arms in that scene.”
“The cute popcorn scene. Poor Hen she really is going through a lot. But did you see how cute they were in the background?? I kinda just wanna see them kiss already. The sexual tension is killing me.”—LINDA IT’S KILLING ALL OF USSSS.
“Oh Buckster. Oh my baby, he is going to crack like a glow stick isn’t he. I will say I’m not that emotional but his acting made me weep. Buckster is going to breakdown HARD. Now idk about you but I’m willing to bet anything that Eddie is going to be there for him exactly how he was there for Eddie. They’re going to slowly but surely fall in love. I’m almost certain of that!!! This is how we get, what do you all call them? Buddie?? Yes we’re getting Buddie. I’m with the cool kids now!”
“ OK did you see the way Eddie nodded his head towards Buck. You cannot tell me he’s not worried sick about his husband. Even the way he said ‘Fair enough’. That was his little heart breaking because he wanted to comfort Buck but didn’t know how to do that with the others there! Ouch my heart hurts. I hope he gets to hold him tightly later on this season.”
“That Buck and Hen scene made me cry. He’s struggling to find true happiness because I don’t think he’s ever known it? And of course that scares him. I wanna shake him and tell him that he has people who love him. People who are his family. But I guess he needs to figure this out himself. Oh it’ll be sweet victory when he finds out he’s the most happy and at ease with Eddie and Chris.” 🥹

NEVER HAVE I EVER S3 SPOILERS AHEAD
So I just finished watching season 3 of NHIE. And I can confidently say this is the worst season of the show. For many reasons.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
For starters the season felt all over the place with no real direction. The pacing was awful. Felt like the show cut out on some of its best elements starting with Devi’s family and her family’s dynamics. Something that was central to the first 2 season fell to the background in season 3. It is completely bizarre decision because Poorna is the best actress and is was playing on of the most compelling characters on the show. Yet, she was cut out of the season like this. Also hated what they did to Kamala’s storyline. She literally couldn’t get married because she didn’t feel ready and wanted to focus on other areas of her life and yet the entire storyline centered around her boyfriend. We also barely saw any real backlash from her family.
Next up we have the whole Aneesa and Fabiola storyline. What was even the point of that subplot. Maybe I just didn’t get it but it really served zero purpose to either characters or the plot. And the worst part is is how the dropped Aneesa like a hot potato once they decided they didn’t want to do it anymore. 
I should also just take the time to highlight the weird fatphobia that keeps happening in the show. It was just Eric at first and now Mrs. Paloma? Idk her name, she was a teacher. 
Even the sessions with Dr. Ryan weren’t even good or as productive as they used to be in season 1 or 2. Mr. Shapiro was MIA. Also I am a bit pissed that we never found out how anyone did on the AP exam. It was a running joke for 3 seasons that Facing History was not from the AP curriculum with the characters complaining about how it didn’t prepare them for the AP exam. It felt hollow and empty that a class that we spent so much time in, just faded into the background like it didn’t matter.  
It’s finally time to talk about the husband(s). Points if you get that reference. 
Let’s start with our newbie, Des. Des was fine. I honestly didn’t find him that special or compelling. I just liked that at least Devi felt good about herself while she was with him. I was glad she was happy. I was glad for the representation of it all. That Mindy finally broke down and allowed her self-insert to date an Indian man. I know that is a big deal for her. But he was kinda lame as a character, but it is not his fault. He was essential a plot device. They actively refused to deepen his character even when there were several perfect places to drop any nugget. It was the same with his mother. There were scenes where I was watching and I was screaming “Say something!! Say anything about yourselves!!!” And then they don’t. It was so annoying. There were opportunities to give these characters more life. But instead they did this. Hated it. 
Next we are gonna talk about Paxton. So despite Daxton and Season 3 flopping this was actually a great season for Paxton. Like his character really seems to have grown and matured the most out of everybody on this show and it isn’t even a competition. What I don’t understand is how can we have that, but we don’t have Daxton? Also weird that their shared emotional growth they got from the relationship didn’t mean shit to Devi at the end. Someone needs to help me understand why despite Paxton constantly affirming her, the show treats it like it means nothing.  It’s all trash, because he isn’t as smart as Devi? That they have different interests?  I feel crazy. Like she got the hot boyfriend and the hot boyfriend was great! And Devi could just never see that. Is this part of the the show’s overall arc or something (and I will expand on this point in the Ben section). I mean a simple acknowledgement would be nice. But nope. Never not once.  Finally let’s talk about Ben. Ben is the worst character on the show. He is the worst character on the show. He is the worst character on the show. My goodness, Ben is shitty (pun very much intended). Listen, I will admit that season 2 Ben wasn’t that bad, but WOW season 3 Ben is just awful. They doubled down on his worst character traits. We seriously dedicated ANOTHER episode to that clown and it wasn’t even about addressing his smug condescending attitudes towards people. Several people bring this up to him multiple times and he hasn’t changed one bit. We wasted yet another episode pointlessly following Ben around (when the season had serious pacing issues we could have used that episode instead of giving it to that waste man), and what he got out of that was he needs to study less. WHO THE FUCK CARES!!!!! That was such a deeply unserious episode. Again I have to wonder is this part of some overarching plot? Because what the hell is this? 
Let me expand on why I wonder if this is a part of some overarching for Devi and the love triangle. Throughout the season Ben would highkey neg Devi. PLEASE tell me I wasn’t the only one that caught that shit. PLEASE tell me y’all saw that shit. Like that boy made a note about Devi wanting to kiss some guy, showed up, and started ragging on her. And you could tell he did it because if he made her feel bad enough she will want him. When she would still get/chase after guys after his failed at negging he would look all sad and hurt. And he would do this throughout the season. I mean the basis of the final scene, was him saying he would have sex with her if she is on her deathbed a still a virgin. They have the audacity to sprinkle in some moments of semi-human decent behavior, and sometimes Devi would actually buy into that  crap. Which had me thinking, stay with me, what if Devi’s attraction to Ben is related to her low self worth? Because why else would you like a person that spends most of their time cutting you down? Please explain it to the class. It’s either that or Mindy and Lang are truly pathetic people if they think Ben is a viable love interest. I do question Mindy because her taste is very questionable. She definitely likes guys like this. Anyway back to my theory, since season 1 ended I believed that Devi’s interest in Ben has always come from a place of insecurity.  She didn’t think she “deserved” a guy like Paxton. That he was too “out of her league” or whatever. And that is ultimately what killed their relationship.  But Ben gets second life after negging her for half the season? Why?  All of this and I didn’t even talk about Ben and Aneesa. Ben and Paxton. Ben and Fabiola? Jesus. Again Ben has an ugly personality. I mean Ben antis stand up because we won today. We might have lost the battle but we have won the war. 
Anyway rant over. I would also like to give a big shoutout to Trent and Eleanor. I personally wasn’t as excited about it as some of the fandom was going into season 3. But they got me. They were actually kinda cute, and not because they helped give me Daxton scenes after the breakup. Same with the 5 seconds of Fabiola and Daxton interaction. It was a funny scene.

Barbie Movie Review
Includes Spoilers
Tumblr media
So it took me awhile to get around to watch this movie, it was never at the top of my list but was bored the other night so sat down and watched it. So there is alot wrong as well as right about this movie. I know so many just tear it down but there are a few things I want to point out that was done right. So I know I have read so many couples have broke up over this movie since its about women empowerment. I feel like if your a close minded person that don't realize women deserve to be happy as well then yeah you probably will have a issue with this movie. First off I thought Margo Robbie did a good job in this role which surprised me because to think of her as harley quinn to barbie is kind of a stretch however she has the look for barbie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me it was fun and light hearted and honestly made me smile. It also brought back some of my own childhood in the little things they did.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love they incorperated Allan, midge, a full figured woman, and one that was a bit weird. This made it ok that maybe everyone has a place to fit in and can be apart of the barbie world too, this I loved. Being a plus size woman myself I was glad they did it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The outfits reminded me of some of the barbie's I had growing with a twist of now days ones as well. I do like that it was centered around Barbie and that Ken really was just a side character. I say this because even as a child I had like 10 barbie's to one ken.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What amazed me is the doll houses they were so spot on to the types I remember in the 90's. Like the fact this movie didn't just focus on now days barbie and ken but really wide spread I loved.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I thought it was cool how they really played off how they would be in our world and how they would stand out as well. The connection between the woman and her daughter and Barbie I loved because I feel like when I was growing up Barbie was everything to me as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a really cute movie though and I love the one quote that really does his home and is so true.
"It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong.
"You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though I like Ryan Gosling honestly I would rather go back to seeing him with his natural hair color and in something like The Notebook than this. I forgot how much pink goes into barbie though so by the end of the movie I was so ready to see any color but pink, never been a huge fan of it anyways.
Tumblr media
I'm glad in the end she decided to be in the real world she fit so much better. I hate ken had to get hurt the way he did but he also hurt barbie without enough respect for her he hurt her cause he was hurting and sadly thats not the right action when you get hurt. I also hated the clothing choice for ken like did they get it from, and eccentric antique store. Over all out of 5 stars I give it a strong 3 because it has no replayable value to it. It wasn't great was just good, in my opinion however I am glad I finally sat down to watch it. I recommend if your going to watch it, get hbo max and get it with the subscription or just get a months subscription to buy with.

Billy and fucklander had opportunities to change and didn't take them. Ryan will have an opportunity to change and will try to change... only for his deadbeat dad and/or billy to take it from him because billy is at a point of no return and deadbeat is a life ruiner. Will any of this excuse some of Ryan's future involvement/behaviors? No... But it makes him more sympathetic than spermdonor and Billy combined.
goddammit anon. you're killin' me here. seen a couple of these answered by other folks in fandom so i'm guessing you have your thoughts written somewhere and then copy/paste them into people's inboxes?
i mean, i get the havin' thoughts lmao (i do~<3!!) but if you have so much to say/rant on and want specific people to respond, why not make your own posts and tag people about it? don't get me wrong, i don't mind answerin' a ramble or two here and there but sometimes it gets a lil excessive. 6 asks in one go is a lot, *especially* when the topics are *stressful* instead of *fun*.
scratch that, getting *ONE* of these asks can be a lot.
*SIX (6)* at one time is too fucking many, i can be overwhelmed too. i'm not just a place for you to dump these and expect a response, i'm a fucking living breathing entity behind this screen (who instead of being friendly, *can* delete and ignore them, need i remind)
do not abuse my kindness or patience, do not mistake either for weakness.
i'ma need a LONG ass break after this. leik. 666 months long cause holy fuck. gotdamn. gimme a breather. also still queuing shit so asking more shit and or bombarding me with asks *isn't* gonna make it come any faster.
it comes when it comes, i put it in the queue and shuffle.
you know the drill, you don't get 6 separate answers, i'm condensing into one and usin' italics and bold for the asks
anywho~ not true.
yes for billy, he is aware of his actions, his plight, and knows better, but he chooses to do worse. (altho i do recognize first hand how difficult addictions are to deal with, and billy is absolutely an addict.)
literally no for homelander. people who are victims of grooming like homie are kept in a state of childlike dependency/belief so that they *can't* leave their abuser, have no choice or 'oPpOrTuNiTy' to leave them, *OR* will only go from one abuser to the next because they've been *conditioned* to expect the abuse.
i feel like you keep saying that but i'ma be point blank this time. it's ableist, victim blaming, and completely undermines the situation homelander went through/is still going through. repeating it won't make it true, it's wrong, always was and will remain wrong. all you're doing is ignoring what his actual situation is and what has actually happened to make yourself feel better about hating him.
and that's not even to say you can't hate him or that his actions should be excused. literally no one is saying that and i don't think i've ever seen anyone actually say that unironically (not saying it can't happen but i'm guessing it's pretty rare to come across (at least outside of the maga chuds) since most people just hate him) but you should at least be fucking honest/aware about his situation/*NOT DISMISSIVE*.
i'm including another post i added resources to that debunk this gross (and very ignorant) claim. please give legitimate psychology the time of day before you go around repeating ableist/victim blaming talking points.
*even billy* to certain degrees, should get his addiction acknowledged, instead of denied or *enabled*, because addiction in *all forms* is a debilitating, life destroying THING that is fucking difficult to fight. it's like it's own form of battle with an abuser, except the only other person is *you*. becca alone should be example enough that empathy and compassion can *help* in ways people downright *refuse* to give the time of day (even if i do lament billy using her like his 'new' addiction... the cunt--)
seriously. i'm not kidding, take the time to educate yourself instead of just being angry (at fiction i might add) all the time. that stress can't be good for you, *anger is proven to make people dumber*, and otherwise the only response you'll get from me is going to be, 'actually you're wrong, here's why--*linked resources*'.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
you repeat ableism and victim blaming? i'm going to call you out on it (if i don't just delete it, bitch i am TIRED--), you will not get a different response from me, i will always try to correct misinformation or disinformation when i can, however that may come.
*you* have a choice, but you keep *choosing* to ignore the resources i provide because they make you confront your own biases, but i ain't playin' on these subjects.
that is a no go in this court.
ryan will need someone to show him he has a choice and that he is worthy of love no matter where he goes or who he's with. again, this goes back to psychology but ryan is still only a child. his brain is literally not developed enough to make these decisions himself/be immune to influence (which just realistically, absolutely no one is regardless of age)
i feel for ryan, i *worry and hope* for him far more, but the trauma faced here is not a contest. please do not do that, that is super fucked. and even if it were--
homelander. homelander would win and take all the fuckin' prizes, there is literally *no one* in this series that has had shit worse than him (he was literally fucking tortured from the second he was created and then fucking groomed leik wut the fuck--)
honestly, it's kind of a fuckin' miracle he didn't turn out *worse*.
*and even then*, what homelander faced would be neither excuse nor reason to dismiss any of the trauma any of the characters have faced, even and especially as a result of him, and vice versa. sympathy overall is subjective. people generally sympathize most with characters they personally relate to.
i tend to sympathize most with the characters who have been through/currently going through the worst of it. (and obviously all the trauma is valid, but my brain tends to prioritize people in immediate crisis dependent on the crisis, which honestly i do feel we should normalize and apply on a global scale just for humanity's sake but i digress, generally this means it depends on the story and where it is in a given moment. but it doesn't mean my sympathy for the other characters has gone away.)
*you* *sypmathize* most with *ryan*, and i get that. that's valid, but it's also personal and subjective, not objective here. it's also subject to change depending on how ryan turns out i'm guessing...
but you're equating people with their actions when--those are two *separate* things.
UGH okay next ask--
That Billy and starlight getting along scene was rushed, like.....there was no build-up to it nor was is a slow burn. Also, starlight and Billy should've started throwing hands at each other or at least curse each other out. Truce my ass, people who hate each other in real life, do not get along all of a sudden, especially if someone they care about is hospitalized. Also, starlight should've chose violence when she and bitchy butcher met a 2nd time. If I saw the person who needlessly, shot my ass again, I would've started to curse their asses out and have them catch these hands.
... what the fuck, first off.
'getting along' is a stretch to describe what happened and this is kinda fucked anon (i will get to that cause you're making me worry)
things *were* tense when they met again, they were literally hurling insults at each other while hughie had to mediate. butcher literally called her 'chum' for shark infested waters, and starlight called him out on his bullshit bigotry with 'i know a guy just like that, he's got a flag for a cape'. hun, where the hell were you when they *were* literally silently seething and fighting *ON SCREEN*???
what *actually* happened was that they took a moment to *set their differences aside* because someone they *both* loved/cared for was in literal danger of *DYING*.
at that point, it didn't matter how *they* felt. hughie was in *crisis* so *HUGHIE*, NOT THEIR FEELINGS, became *priority*.
*after* the crisis was averted, they had a moment of playful banter about the person they just made sure was *safe* and would *survive*. the tension of the crisis was gone, and they could take a breath. that they happened to be around each other was just a fact of the matter. but *hughie* was still their priority and common ground.
so i guess you could say it's rushed, but the situation was rushed over all (of course it was, time crunch with a fuckin' crisis, hellooooo???) but what the hell were you expecting, for them to fight and argue in the *hospital* and potentially kill hughie with their stress and anger instead of letting him rest easy????????
what happened during those scenes is genuinely, a completely normal and very human reaction for people to have. prioritizing *crisis* over animosity. i.e. being normal ass rational people who don't let their hatred/anger take complete control over them.
annie (very obviously) is *not* one of those people and never has been.
for butcher, it *depends* on how he's feeling i guess, but there's clear implication that he leans on people *like hughie* or becca to *pull him back* from that place. in that moment, his worry for hughie outweighed his hate boner for supes. that happens sometimes.
and i gotta gotta gotta be clean with you on this hun, cause jesus fucking christ was this one loaded.
if you *genuinely* feel that *fighting* and *hatred* with someone you dislike should take *priority* over someone you both *love* fucking *DYING* right next to you?
you *NEED* to seek help, *anger management* (if you have the resources and i hope you do, sincerely)
from a *real* therapist, who can *actually* help you. (NOT ME)
or at least, idk, look up a couple videos maybe??
and listen, i'm not saying this to hurt you.
but i am getting strong STRONG bad *BAD* 'billy butcher'/'homelander' levels of toxic masculinity and irrational aggression from you here (not necessarily towards me i mean, just in general, dial it back, hun)
anger does not make you better, right, or stronger. anger *DOES NOT* solve problems.
*anger* makes you *stupid*, and going with the first knee-jerk angry response that pops into your head is a sign of *weakness*. it is an example of the *lack of impulse control* that many can and often do struggle with (society is fuuuuuuuucked...)
there are *healthy* outlets that can help you let off steam and cope productively, and i guarantee you it will lengthen your life and allow you to live happier the quicker it gets addressed!
shit, you can even try out something as simple as playing harvest moon--any of them! my darling friennnnn~<3 suggested it to me and whoopdi-fuckin'-do, it's actually *HELPING* me~!!
you seem to love to hate butcher and homelander (and i'll be fair, i do too! even if i love them just as much lmao) but i'm starting to get the vibe that it's more so because you see some major parts of *yourself* reflected in them.
it is *okay* to have fight in you. it is *okay* to feel angry. that's *natural*.
it is *not* okay to use that anger as a means to *only* be destructive, whether internally or externally. that is the whole point of what makes butcher and homelander wrong, but you are stuck and determined to commit the same error or see it committed by others, like ryan.
it's okay to have spunk and spirit, be a little assertive, live your life, enjoy yourself.
but giving into your anger at the drop of a hat?
i promise you (from fucking experience) it will only *RUIN* YOU and your life.
OR
at the *very least*, learn to recognize the most obvious factor here.
you are not other people.
other people are not you.
just because *you* would have a certain reaction to something (or believe you would because we never really know until it happens to us), *does not* mean *others* would have the *same* reaction to the same thing.
*OTHER PEOPLE* reserve the right to their own thoughts, feelings, experiences and appropriate *reactions* to whatever the situation may be.
**and regardless of what those may be, they are no less or more valid than you or yours for it**
actually, if i'm being completely real here, choosing *violence* over civility is what *should* be frowned upon. but you are *literally* making a complaint about them choosing to be *civil* instead of violent.
what the fuck.
NEXT--
I think had Becca survived season 2 in it's entirety, Ryan would've grew to be a caring and generous person, but comes from a religious family, which might make him unpleasant at times. It's possible he would be raised with the concept of gender roles (I mean, it's possible that Becca didn't get an abortion is because she's religious, why else would that st. Nick necklace would imply that). Though, I could be reaching because we did see her gouge a nazi's eye out
wut?
WUT???
just... honestly wut?? not leik in a bad way. but WUT???
this one is weird. i do think you're reachin' here because *just* because someone is 'religious', doesn't mean they're anal and obnoxious about it.
case in point, *ANNIE*
she's religious (and still religious tho not as strongly/has obviously struggled but accepted the cross from her mom at the end of s2) but she's not a bible-thumper or puritan, and feels uncomfortable about those sects of religion.
you also seem to underestimate the *severe* penchant for violence many *many* religious people have.
do the crusades not ring a bell to you? the nazis cited religion as their justification for their actions more often than not.
but religion itself or being religious is not an inherently bad thing (i'm critical because of how it's used/what i personally went through because of it), overall, it's just a tool that many normal people just use to have hope or make their lives a little easier stomach.
it give the placebo effect, if you will.
it's in the same boat as money. money itself is called the 'root of all evil', but in reality, it's just a tool that holds no moral weight one way or another. (it's the *people* who are moral/immoral or use it in such ways)
morality itself is subjective depending on the time period and the values that society holds at a given time. humankind is still in the process of trying to reconcile and rationalize a globally acceptable form of morality that prioritizes humanity as a whole rather than one specific group, and it's been... not great? very slow going lmao but i digress.
religious *text* is a bit of a different story, most bibles/written stories are fuuuuuuuuuucked one way or the other. but again, then you're looking at who's a bible-thumper and who isn't.
i will say that if becca had survived, things would def probably be a lot better for ryan. but it would be a different tense situation with either them in hiding/trying to find a new safe place (i like to think they'd leave the country) or with her *in* the safe place raising ryan.
and either *begging* billy to come home (cause she always believes in him :((((((((((((((() from his revenge rampage, or billy being there and raising ryan--while seething because 'homelander'...
this is dark, but i get the feeling it would eventually lead to an altercation, either where billy leaves to go after homelander and the above happens, or billy murders the kid in front of becca/finds a way to sell him back to vought (like becca had said he would and both knew he'd try again) to supplement the bottled in rage that had been slowly chipping away at him...
leik. s3 alone gave a perfect example of a seething billy/what his violence withdrawal does to him. and that was with him *still* getting the little bits sprinkled in here and there so--
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
Ryan's life has consisted of nothing but hardships. He was isolated and sheltered from the outside world, living in a compound for a good majority of his childhood. He lost his rarely saw her real mother, and Grace served as his primary maternal figure afterwards. Got gaslighted by Billy because billy's connection to underages is too damn weak. Homelander, the only biological parent that he has left, sees him as an extension of himself, and treats Ryan more like a pawn than a son. Shitlander is going excessively control Ryan's life, manipulates, and gaslight him constantly when ryan displeases him. Spermdonor won't even view Ryan as his own person - to him, Ryan is a pawn that's his property to use in any way he wants, so he plays with Ryan's emotions to have the upper hand. Even though Spermdonor will treat him like dirt, Ryan will desperately try to please his deadbeat, and garner any sort of attention from him. If Ryan finally escapes the clutches of spermdonor and Billy to find others who will help him rather than hinder him, he'll be content and genuinely happy. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if his happiness is stripped violently from him when Homelander or billy take that away as punishment for ryan "betrayal". I wouldn't be surprised that down the line, Ryan snaps and becomes a hostile, hateful, bloodthirsty, and vengeful supe at the end of the series because Billy didn't bother to ask Marvin for help in terms of handling children and Homelander is a life ruiner.
some incoherency here, but i mean... that is history repeating itself??
baby, this one coulda been your own post. half time i ain't even really sure what you want me to say with these??? sometimes i feel like you're just throwing shit out to see if you can trigger me?? but that's the general paranoia talkin' (or at least i'd like to think i know myself well enough to say that)
but i gotta be honest, sometimes ya say stupid shit--(which fair enough, we all do at one point or another myself included~), but leik...
i hope this isn't too much to ask but...
maybe *think* before you *act*??
a lot of these read like impulse and like they're not thought out very well, but maybe if you took a moment/step back to make your own post/think about the thoughts you put into them, you could idk, make more sense of them i guess?? better organize it??
what do you mean with the first part??
ryan was in a compound, but he wasn't purely isolated/sheltered or in a lab. yeah, still not great (as no interaction with other children/general city life has given him some anxiety and that much is clear). but that can also happen when kids move from rural areas to cities in general. his real mother (becca) was also his *primary* caretaker, almost *always* with him unless she dropped him off at tutors/had to step away for a moment.
leik what's going on here, are you confusing baby homelander with ryan??? cause the baby they showed us in a lab and the kid getting experimented on was *young homelander*, NOT ryan.
but generally speaking, before homelander showed up, that kid was fuckin' happy, just livin' his life? that's what makes homelander's sudden appearance so fucking traumatic. the kid didn't really want or need saving at the time, but now he legit does.
homelander actually... sees ryan as an obligatory way to gain affection/love. you have to understand, homelander functions almost entirely on the belief that he is unloveable/people will abandon him/call him a monster/hate him/etc.
that's why he defaults on instilling fear to make them 'respect' him or *fear leaving his side* no matter how badly he mistreats them, that's clear enough when his relationship with stormfront starts and he threatens her for lying to him.
homelander has never had real family or love and is very desperate for both. he doesn't have a full understanding of it either. but ryan fits with the 'idea' of both. because blood family is 'supposed' to 'love unconditionally' and ryan is 'blood'.
on the flipside, ryan is very intelligent/quickly learning how to use his powers and what he can/can't get away with--due to who his father is. don't underestimate the kid, because homie is so stunted and ryan is still clearly very *special* to homelander (if for the wrong reasons), i think he can and will use that to his advantage.
ryan already hits all the tickers for *being* what homelander *wants* him to be, mostly by existing.
a boy
has powers
aaaaaaaaaaand that's pretty much the end of homie's list lol. and we can see at the end of s3 that *this* alone is *enough* for homelander to *actually* listen to and be manipulated by his son, not the other way around (ryan gets him to leave rather than killing billy)
you're under the impression that homelander will be a controling parent, and i think in some ways, he *could* be. but most of what we *have* seen is implying something *very* different will happen.
apart from the roof scene, he hasn't really mistreated ryan. he actually did really good with ryan's anxiety/has shown general patience but it's clear he's trying to gain ryan's trust/affection so i guess we could technically interpret this as the love bombing phase?? still, most of what we're shown was him mistreating *becca* or others, but not ryan specifically (he def does set some monumentally shitty examples tho)
either way, homelander *still* wants love and approval, *even* if and *especially* if it comes from *family*/his *son*. he's also a victim of grooming that still hasn't grown from the dependency that made him have on his abusers. believe it or not, that actually leaves him open/vulnerable to *ryan* being the one to control and manipulate him. granted ryan is a child. but 'he knows not what he's done/capable of' and all that jazz.
don't get me wrong, i do picture it's gonna be a fucked dynamic and homie will get 'controlling' to a degree. but don't think the kid is so damn helpless there.
we're more likely to see complete minilander spoiled brat ryan and full blast karen 'my kid can do no wrong/*HE* can do whatever the fuck he wants!' homelander than anything else.
ryan *may* try to desperately please homelander, but homelander *will* try to desperately please ryan. it's likely to create a very toxic and enabling 'we only have each other' dynamic because that is the point both have been driven to.
but again, history repeating itself
anywho~<3
The man who threw a can at Ryan back in season 3, is the same reason why people throw shit like rocks or just plainly spit at offsprings of tyrants.
i think it was a cup/soda?? but that's not really the point.
i'll be blunt here.
**the sins of the father are not the sins of the son**
just because people react like animals and blame innocent kids for what their parents do, doesn't make them right. i'd say it makes them dead wrong and very fucking stupid actually, because the kids *have no choice* of the family/blood they are born into, or even what they're initially taught to believe.
that man was a fucking moron. i won't say he deserved to die for something that didn't actually hurt ryan, they could have pressed charges for assault of a child on him and made a public spectacle of him and ruined his life (*that* would be rightly deserved)
but that was a *WILDLY* stupid thing of him to do, *knowing* homelander's powers, supposedly being a starlight supporter (which means he would believe homelander is evil) and *knowing* that this was his fucking *child*.
only the weak, childish, and stupid take aim at the innocent for the actions of a tyrant.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Not only Ryan looks the most like spermdonor and is said spermdonor's son, but a painful reminder of what happened to Becca. Billy is going to despise/resent Ryan more nonetheless. No thanks to Billy's weakass connection to kids either. Besides, Billy already started showing signs of deflection after season 3, episode 3.
billy's been a cunt from before the story began, where have you been lmao?
billy already resents ryan more so for what he is (a supe freak), but i would def say who he's related to probably doesn't help. still, despite it, ryan is also the last remnant of becca that he wants any connection to (since he's absolute dogshit to her other family but still mainly for his promise to her).
the thing is, ryan is still a useful tool/something to hold over homelander's head, and that, albeit fucked up, makes him worth something in billy's fucked up head. if he hadn't made the promise to becca, ryan would probably already be dead.
i do think he will look for excuses to give into his urges/hatred and break his promise to becca (as nearly the whole of s3 was~) if not use ryan as his trojan horse and be the first person infected with that virus and send him back to homelander--
ANYWHO--
next time this ask bug bites you, for the love of satan, take a moment to take a step back and gather your thoughts, and maybe make your own post/rant on your own blog for it instead of sending literal barrages of asks to people (idk if you do this to others or how many/often, but if they don't answer 'em there might be a reason for that.)
or at least compile it neatly enough into *ONE* (SINGULAR) minimally semi-coherent ask.
of course i care about the serious stuff and make psas, i don't even mind answering asks, even the crazy ones~ ;))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
but i do actually wanna have *fun* in fandom (leik C'MON i obsess over shitty men fucking/impregnating billy butcher!!), not be stressed out all the time or stuck on the hard topics trying to explain things to someone i don't even know is actually willing to listen.
leik i literally had to keep randomizing my queue because it was filled with so much negative shit at one point and *i* was overloaded just by looking at it.
i especially don't wanna be dealin' with fuckin' ableism and victim blaming in my ask box. that shit is rank, and i'm tired of it
get smart or just stop, my answers on that shit ain't gonna change.
but you can even post it private if you want. just
LET ME HAVE A FUCKIN' BREATHER--
preferably... 666 months~<3

(I have no idea if you've answered this b4) Who's ur fav? Benvi, Bela-Eric, or Danny/Mindy (Ryan/Kelly is not an option)?
Hello Anon! I actually have not answered this before. So I might have to describe each ship, so I can give you the gist of which is my favourite.
To be straightforward- My favourite is Bela Malhotra and Eric Miller.
And Because I love talking about these ships, I'm going to give you the rundown of how I view each ship and if I like them or not.
(SIDE NOTE: This is going to become a long post.)
Danny and Mindy - THEY ARE AN ABSOLUTE NO FOR ME. I have never liked them one bit. He was alright in season 1, and I did sort of see the potential. But if I'm being honest, I preferred Josh, Casey, Sam, and even Brendan Delaurier over that misogynistic dickhead.
And in season 2 of TMP, I preferred Cliff Gilbert Over any other love interest she had in that show. He was smart, sweet, and had nice banter with her. He genuinely had an interest in her. And it pissed me off so much how they ruined his character to make DANNY of all people seem to like her better match.
And believe it or not, it got worse. DANNY LITERALLY SA'd her in season 3 episode 4. And this issue got 'resolved' by him explaining to her that he was insecure about his experience and wanted to try it out. LIKE BITCH DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO COMMUNICATE, WITH words? He literally made her feel bad for something that he did when he violated her.
Ben and Devi - They are pretty neutral to me. I don't actually dislike them, nor do I love them. If you asked me in season 1 if I was either Team Ben or Team Paxton, I would've 100% said, Team Ben.
But now, I kind of just think that they kept fucking with their storyline. I got tired of the fact that we didn't even really see them date and how they would be in a relationship. I genuinely don't think that they would be toxic, they were really cute in season 4. But another thing that annoyed me quite a lot was the lack of communication, and the fact that Eleanor and Fabiola kind of push her away from ever really expressing to Ben how much she likes him. Like, Ben wants Devi to be open about her feelings, it really doesn't matter if she comes off looking uncool or not.
Also, I kind of liked how realistic Ben was in season 1 in comparison to how he is in the other seasons. In season 1, he was kind of like a mixture of himself and Ethan in the way he would respond to Devi. Like the way, he was just kind of chill and more grounded. they just made him super cocky in seasons 2 and 3 and then tried to give him growth beyond that. It was clear he kind of held a bit of resentment towards her after she broke his heart. I just wish that they quit trying to hit the replay button with them. They could've had more scenes together.
Bela and Eric - They are my favourites! They are the vibes, and like Quinn from Kappa says, "We have to preserve the vibes."
And I love to proclaim myself as one of the people who defended Eric even before season 2. I just thought he was capable of growing and changing. And I love how chill and unfazed he is by Bela, he sort of just accepts her for who she is. I love it so fucking much. It's not cringe, and it's very natural in comparison to Ben and Devi. I just see Bela and Eric as their ages and the writing team does a good job of connecting them to college life.
Because with Devi, you can kind of see when 'Mindy Kaling Dialogue' is set for her. And I wince every time I have to hear something along the lines of that. But with Bela, because the actress who plays her has this charisma where she doesn't really care what other people say, it just works. I know, Bela is insecure when it comes to how people view her, whether it is with her comedy writing, boys, making friends etc. The actress doesn't get enough credit for her variety and range.
Just to disclose, I am a Bela supporter. I think the fandom is too rude towards her, the fact that some of them even compare her to Ryan is truly gross to me. I don't like that she cheated on Eric, but it also kind of bothers me to see how many people were quick to dislike her. Especially since everything Eric says kind of gets swept under the rug the minute Bela does something shitty. And let's be honest, people love the 360 development of the 'asshole who is not so much of an asshole' and it happened with Eric. He literally heard her tell him that she was being ordered around by the comedian, and he just swivels in and takes the opportunity. Bela is not Innocent, what she did was horrible, and while the thing he did was not as wrong, it was still a shitty move. I've seen people dislike Bela since season 1, people will just jump at the chance to dislike her. And she got assaulted last season, and people overlook that because the narrative doesn't lead us into it. Like yes, the show is kind of shit when it comes to following up on major plot points, like with Whitney literally being Gr**med. But that doesn't mean that it didn't happen. It clearly affected her.
And people like to use the handjobs as a reflection of Bela always being sex-crazed. No, it just REINFORCES that she was broken even before college. She had all of this cultural pressure on her, she never had many friends, and she was nerdy and uncool. She had such a bad and negative view of herself before, so she's sadly just giving into any attention she might get even if it's bad.
And I think Eric would've been a good influence on her if they made a better choice in the way they wrote them. He warmed up to her in ep 10, he kind of just looked annoyed with her in Episode 1 of Season 2. There wasn't even any room left for subtext. After he gave her advice, and she left, he could've been seen looking at her walking away before he slowly closed the door. It could've been a parallel moment to the caution tape scene in the quad.
And the reason I loved Bela and Eric so much is that he was essentially who she would've been if she was more security with herself. Like, notice how she likes his glasses and his nerdy comedy vibe. He is the version that connects her to her old self where she was nerdy and loved comedy. Of course, she still loves comedy, but she tried to feed into that cool girl vibe. And that shows a lot about how she is with Priya. She is so insecure when she sees Priya's glow up and her jealousy of seeing how quick she got along with everyone kind of hurt her. It is wrong that she was projecting onto her, and it's not okay to be rude to people because they look nicer.
I think the most infuriating thing Bela did for me was when she was with Jorjia and ruined everything with the foxy. Evangeline and Jo were really on her side and it makes me sad that she self-sabotaged.
I do believe that Bela and Eric could get back together. But I think they need to develop a better connection as friends. Without the benefits lol.
I'm thinking that maybe they could have an encounter where they both have the same internship. At this point in time, Bela might be at another school if she did follow through with the transfer. Or she could still be in Essex, but they just don't talk to each other. Eric is mad at first and Bela doesn't blame him. Maybe there is a point where she helps him gain more exposure, and he kind of sees this as a silver lining. Like maybe she has changed. During this, Eric decides to let her in more and they have a nice friendship. He might try dating someone else for a bit, and Bela helps him navigate it because she doesn't want to be jealous or rude. I want her to go through therapy during this, so she can self-reflect. I think at some point Bela and Eric could have a moment where they almost kiss or gaze intently into each other's eyes. They kind of just brush it off, and Bela thinks everything is okay and it was a heat of the moment, thinking he didn't feel anything. But Eric wanted to kiss her. He might quit dating the girl afterwards because he realised he still has feelings for Bela. And because he's Eric, he kind of doesn't know how to deal with this, so he kind of pushes Bela away anytime they are at the internship and Bela asks him if he was okay.
And there could be a point where he almost sabotages the internship for himself and he bursts out the door. Bela could follow him out. Then she'd be like. "I have tried so hard to get on your good side. What else do you want?" It's kind of like a parallel to the summer theta party where Eric asks her what she wants.
Then he's feeling a mixture of conflict, anger, and everything above. But he knows he can't blame her. "I-I'm just mad."
And she shouts. "Why?!"
Then he's like. "Because you made end things with ____"
And she's all confused. "Why is that my fault?"
And then there is a moment of silence and the tension is thick. And she's like. "Well?"
And then he's like. "God damn it Bela-" and then he leans forward and they both know what is about to happen next when he kisses her.
It's all passionate, and then he releases for a second when they have to breathe, and they're all wide-eyed and their lips are swollen. And he says "Because she wasn't you."
And then following it, they slowly take their relationship slow. They talk to each other about their feelings, and they become an official couple this time.
So yeah, I didn't expect this to be such a long post. But yeah, thanks for the question!

@badfriendsworsecompany tagged me to list my 10 favorite movies. So here they are!
Tumblr media
Anyone who knows anything about me knows this is one of my all time favorite movies ever. It’s so funny and silly but also spooky! Basically me! 😂
Tumblr media
And again, if you know me even a little you know this was gonna be here. My whole life I’ve wanted to be Cher (and Elvira) so… this movie is so funny and smart. A great reimagining of a classic Jane Austen book.
Tumblr media
Listen, he’s my favorite hero for a reason. This movie is also the reason I know all the words to Salt n Pepa’s Shoop. I’m very glad Ryan Reynolds made sure to make the movie Deadpool as close to comic Deadpool as possible.
Tumblr media
“Why the sequel,” I hear you asking. And dear reader I will tell you… it’s because this is the only one we had on laserdisc. Yes, laserdisc. And I didn’t see the first one until I was like 12 and caught it on Comedy Central. I saw this movie when I was WAY too young and it still scares me a little because of it. But that’s why I love it.
Tumblr media
I’m sure absolutely no one will be surprised by this one. This is the first movie I saw in theaters and to this day is still my favorite Disney movie. No one can unseat Belle as my princess. And Beast… well let’s just say he imprinted on my psyche. 😂 But really this movie is beautiful and has a soundtrack to match. I listen to it sometimes and sing all the parts.
Tumblr media
What can I say except “never give up on the good times?” This movie is CAMP and I love everything about it. I can probably recite it by heart if I tried hard enough. The tape literally lived in my VCR for like a year, just watched it over and over.
Tumblr media
I don’t even know what to say. It’s brilliant? It kinda flipped the slasher genre on its head and made everyone else scramble to catch up (and most of em didn’t do it right!). My favorite horror series. Ghostface is bestface? I’m making that a thing.
Tumblr media
You can try to tell me either of the other two are better but you’re WRONG. Fellowship lives in my heart. The whole trilogy is so well done and beautifully filmed, but nothing compares to the first. The soundtrack!!! The shire!!! Everyone is briefly happy!!! THE SHIRE!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
Literally the only Sofia Coppola movie I’ve seen and enjoyed. And it’s probably mostly the costumes if I’m honest. I love the soundtrack too, but I’ve got a thing for anachronistic music in historical films. Mostly this one is just so pretty to look at. It’s officially what tipped me from “historical costume enjoyer” to “big fat nerd who knows way too much about historical clothing and sometimes it makes watching things hard.” (It’s also officially the reason I wanted to get into costume design, and sewing my own historical clothing.)
Tumblr media
Truth! Beauty! Freedom! Love! The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return. Idk man this movie just enchants me. It’s so fun. The soundtrack is great (I used to sing Elephant Medley when I was alone in lawn and garden at Lowe’s when I worked there to pass time). I love the effects and transitions. But Luhrman is pretty good at that.
I’m supposed to tag 10 people but absolutely no pressure! @highasfshit @pataliemortman @musings-of-one @disguisedposer @tardistimelordyeahh @adhdtownsmarty @agrumpygirl @canitouchthat @squishiestmonsterr @curse-of-miss-mgm (and anyone else who I might have missed who wants to do it! 🫶🏻)
(I think all of you are mutuals here. If not… hi! Here’s my main! 🫣)

Tumblr media
“Rankings are out. There will be only one more re-ranking after this before your final exam,” Sharon said as she posted the sheet up.
The team watched from the one-way mirror. Even Tony and Bruce were there instead of with the IT and Science Departments despite the fact that their rankings were also coming out today. Everyone agreed that the field agent ranking was much more entertaining. As soon as Sharon closed the door behind her, everyone ran up to the sheet doing everything but throwing elbows to get to the front. You bounced on the yoga ball off to the side. It’s not like the sheet was going to magically change so you would just wait till everyone else finished checking and complaining.
“What the fuck?” You heard Lisa exclaim since she reached the sheet first. Everyone was waiting for her to say something.
“How the hell is (Y/N) number one?!”
That made you look up from watching the undone laces on your sneakers jump up and down as you bounced on the ball. Everyone’s eyes were on you but only Clark, Courtney, and Morgan were happy for you. The others were seething.
“Your lazy ass doesn’t even push as hard as us.”
That caused tears to pinprick at the corner of your eyes. Sam had to be grabbed by Tony to sit down and not enter the room— technically none of the recruits but you knew that there even was a two-way mirror in the training room. The whirring of Bucky’s metal plates sounded loudly in the room the Avengers were in as he clenched it into a fist as hard as possible.
Being called lazy was one of your triggers and he knew it. You heard that and in your mind turned it into you’re a cow and everyone can see it because you can’t do anything. And that tended to spiral into something worse that was harder to get you out of because there was no real way to win.
They couldn’t distract you with other attributes about yourself because you were confident in those. Not once did you ever associate your other values like intelligence with your physical body so they couldn’t even draw your focus elsewhere. They would try but it ended in you responding with you know how smart you are because why wouldn’t you be and then return to poking at parts of your body. Bucky was on edge and was debating whether to burst into the training room anyway, regardless of the fact that they weren’t supposed to.
“Hey, she literally masters moves in seconds!” Clark said as Courtney aggressively nodded her head in agreement.
“What did you do?” one of them asked. You shrugged because you really didn’t know.
“I knew it was special treatment!” Lisa said. “Misses weeks of class and passes out on a mission but still at the top.”
There were murmurs of agreement. On the other side of the mirror, the team was watching with rage in their eyes. Nat told Fury they should’ve kept your ranking number five despite the fact that you qualified for one. Fury wasn’t having it, he said that you were the top so they were putting you there especially since they wanted you on the team. He was over the nonsense but the rest of the team said he hadn’t seen it. So he compromised that this week they would put your true ranking and he would join them to watch Ranking Day and see the drama for himself.
“What did you do?” Ryan asked.
“Hmm?”
“It can’t just be because you live with them. So what is it? You their little maid? Clean the whole place for them, do their laundry, wash their dishes.”
“I just live here, I’m not—”
“She’s probably sleeping with someone,” one of the others suggested.  
“Drop it, guys!” Morgan stood up for you.
You went wide-eyed. That was supposed to be a secret. It hadn’t been long since the first time you slept in Steve and Bucky’s bed, only a week and you hadn’t done anything with them since then. But it was only the team who knew. They kept it that way on purpose for the very reason you were being accused of now. The other recruits saw your face and Ryan smirked knowing they hit a nerve.
“So it’s true? Which one of the trainers is it? Agent Carter? Wilson?”
“I’m not—” you tried to protest.
“Don’t lie we all saw your face. Is it Agent Romanoff? God wait what if it’s not one of our trainers, bet it’s Mr. Stark, you’re always down at IT,” Lisa said.
“Maybe it’s all of them?” Ryan muttered under his breath. “You seem like the type, would let anyone hit it.”
You had to refrain from yelling at them, nothing you said was probably going to change their minds. It wasn’t worth arguing with them. You just had to bite your tongue and all this training would finally be over and you wouldn’t have to be in their class any more but an actual agent and you’d request not to be put on a team with most of them. Sharon or Maria would certainly listen and agree to keep the team you had for the previous practice mission, assuming they all made it.
“Wait.” Ryan drew everyone’s attention to him. “No one’s meaner than Captain and Sarge, that it? They just do it for appearance? You crawl into bed with one of them… both of them?”
“Nah, (Y/N)’s not much of a looker. Can’t see her being their type.” Cam added, causing laughter amongst a few.
“I mean we’ve all seen them right? Greek gods those two,” Lisa said, the others murmuring in agreement. The conversation shifted a bit from you and more towards Steve and Bucky.
“Bet they’d take only supermodels. Tall as hell, you know.”
“Then Courtney has the best chance out of us,” someone else said but you weren’t paying attention to who anymore. You were just focused on not crying which meant not moving from your spot until you had it under control.
“Totally, all leg. You could make an Amazonian jealous, maybe you should try it. Be like (Y/N), bet Cap would bump you right up to the top.”
“That’s enough!” Courtney yelled. “You guys are being assholes to (Y/N) and it’s getting old.”
“Maybe you’d actually be successful at it,” Ryan said, clearly ignoring Courtney’s anger. “Cap and Sarge probably turned (Y/N) down. My money’s on Romanoff, who’s with me?”
That broke you. You abruptly stood up from the yoga ball and ran out of the room, purposely avoiding the hands of Clark, Courtney, and Morgan who tried to grab you. You turned the corner quickly in case they chose to chase after you because you knew they wouldn’t know about the corridor that led to the room with the two-way mirror.
“Is it true?” you asked through tears as you stood in front of Steve and Bucky.
“Of course not,” Bucky started. “You got that spot because you d—”
“Not that! N-not that, am I your type?”
“What? (Y/N), you’re literally our girlfriend. Badass but friendly, understanding, smart, oddly innocent cute face for that mouth of yours. What could be more our type?”
“I know I’m smart, Buck. Am I your type? Not my face, it’s cute whatever am I your body type? Do you guys find me attractive, physically attractive?”
Bucky and Steve searched your eyes to see you were completely serious and desperate for an answer, although if they said what you were thinking they would say then you would be devastated. They were confused that you would even ask that question. You took their brief pause as agreement with Cam and started crying even harder, speaking before either got a chance to open their mouth.
“Is that why we haven’t done anything since… you two can break up with me if you don’t like me. It’s okay, I-I know it was a mistake. You don’t have to lead me on just because I like you, it hurts more thinking I have a chance. Not everyone likes bigger girls, it’s fine not to like me. I’ve seen the women you bring back. I know I don’t look like them, all white and skinny. Really tall. You can say Cam was ri…”
Steve wasn’t going to let you rant any longer when it turned down the dark path you were headed. He grabbed the sides of your face and kissed you roughly, wiping your tears with his thumbs at the same time.
“Those women were specifically because they didn’t look like you. Would’ve made it harder to resist you and try to get over you if they had. Haven’t done anything because we’re moving at your pace. We know it’s all new for you but we like and want you, God, we want you so bad. Okay? You’re just our type.”
He knew after the way you threw Bucky’s compliments about your personality back in his face that you were only focused on physical. This is where it always got tricky. If they gave compliments based on the size you saw yourself it would subside but they’d be lying and while that would be fine it could cause you to lose more than is healthy for you. But if they said anything based on your real size, how long would it be before you didn’t believe them again?
And the therapist’s words didn’t change or help, not by much. They learned that after you told them about a session and why it was so hard for you— because you accepted fat on everyone but you, so the problem wasn’t the notion of being big itself the problem was solely it being on you. How you saw yourself in a cracked lens versus the crystal clear and potentially rose-tinted lens you saw everyone else with.
You were shaking your head at Steve’s words. Steve moved you to sit on the table as he stood in front of you. Bucky was there shortly, moving your head to the side so his lips were on yours and just as rough as Steve’s.
“(Y/N)?”
Steve brought your attention back to him as he rubbed small circles on your hand.
“Where are you, pretty doll? This isn’t just about us liking you, is it?”
“Why would you do that? Why did you move my rank?”
“Because you’ve advanced so much. It’s the rank you should be at, not number five.”
“The others work harder than me. Lisa was right, they push so hard.”
“Says the girl that is always taking the worst punishments,” Bucky said.
“Maybe I wouldn’t need them if I wasn’t so lazy like they said.”
“Five hundred reps of abs in a single sitting doesn’t sound like a lazy person to me. Why are you shaking your head again?”
“I must be lazy then. All those punishments and I’m still fat.” You picked at your fingernails.
Your last comment sent Steve and Bucky into a stunned stupor, especially considering you had revealed your secret to the entire team. And that was something you were so apprehensive about doing when you didn’t even want the two of them to know at first. They knew the other recruits’ comments did a number on you, that the dam had just broken and because you trusted the two of them it didn’t matter who else was in the room.
The rest of the team wasn’t sure if they should leave but they also couldn’t tear their eyes away from the scene in front of them. Were you saying what they really thought you were saying? Like Bucky and Steve they were trying to figure out all the times you might’ve let it slip and they just didn’t notice.
Nat cut in.
“We all decided to move you because you deserved it, not because of anything personal. You mastered my move and others on the first try and your team finished your mission with the fastest time and you leading them even after you had been absent for several classes. You’re number one because you’re the best.”
Bucky brushed your cheekbone with his metal finger. “You eat breakfast this morning?”
“I shouldn’t have,” you said, not caring that the others were still in the room. You figured your last remark when you had forgotten briefly it wasn’t just the three of you exposed you and they could figure it out.
“(Y/N).”
“I had an apple and toast.”
“With jelly?”
“Butter… two pieces.”
“Good, lunch?”
“No.” You focused on Steve’s hands in yours instead of looking at Bucky. “But it was because Ranking Day made me too nervous the closer we got to the time.”
“Well, we can’t win all the time. Stevie and I were going to dinner after this, do you want to come with us? We can finally take you on a first date.”
“I think I just want to take a nap, Buck. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize, we’ll raincheck the date. Do you want us to bring you back something?”
Your stomach growled to answer his question. He laughed and so did Steve as his hands wrapped around your waist, hands slipping under the fabric of your shirt. A brief frown flashed across his face.
“Are you flexing again?” he asked as he felt your core muscles were really tight underneath his hands.
That was one of the last things he or Bucky wanted was you feeling uncomfortable under their touch. It was one of the reasons they only slept with you that one time and even then it hadn’t been all the way. They wanted you to be a little bit more okay before adding sex to complicate anything. Their touch was supposed to bring you pleasure not make you overthink how your body felt to them underneath their hands. You shook your head as a no to Steve’s question but both men raised their eyebrows not completely believing you.
“It does that sometimes. I don’t know how but it’ll just sink in?” you offered as best an explanation as you could.
His fingertips gently brushed upwards.
“Doll, I,” Steve hesitated, not sure if this was something you really wanted everyone to know. “I can feel the bottom of your ribcage.”
“Yeah, I can too when the muscles tighten. It goes away when they relax, I usually just wait and they’ll relax eventually.”
He and Bucky nodded with relieved sighs. You yawned and Steve’s hands left you so you could jump down from the table. Before you could leave the room, they called you back just for little kisses. They pressed kisses to your temple at the same time.
“What do you want us to bring you back?” Bucky asked.
“Nothing.”
“(Y/N).”
“Do they have tomato soup?”
“I think so. And if they don’t?”
“Chicken noodle, everyone’s got to have chicken noodle. It’s not a good restaurant if they don’t.”
“Hard to argue with that logic. You gonna take your nap in our room?”
“Can I?”
“You’re welcome to our bed any time, pretty doll.”
He threw in the nickname so it would be the last thought you had before sleeping, a pleasant thought about your body. You nodded in thanks. They let you go after getting an order from you. If the restaurant did have your first choice of tomato soup, they’d ask for a side of vegetables just so you would have a little more to eat but were less likely to feel guilty about it.
The room grew heavy with silence once you were gone. Steve and Bucky faced the others again, Steve speaking first.
“It’s best if we don’t all dogpile on her. She doesn’t need the whole team breathing down her neck about if she ate.”
The team nodded. Clint spoke very carefully knowing he was treading on thin ice.
“Does she know she’s not… she knows she’s more than a size, right?”
Bucky snorted. “(Y/N)? Of course she does. If you only heard her on our morning runs.”
He pulled out his best imitation of you.
“People should be happy I value being such a nice person. Buck, can you believe the IQ test I took the other day dropped me a point, I’d like to point out it was only because I read the question too quickly. Stevie, I know my eyes are pretty, freaking gemstones. I like hearing you say it anyway, tell me one more time how you get lost in ‘em.”
Steve laughed at Bucky’s imitation because while it didn’t sound like you, the quotes were exact things you’ve said while working out with them. Word for word, Bucky had the little phrases memorized. The rest of the Avengers chuckled a bit as well because, yeah, that sounded like you.
Fury wouldn’t stop looking at the mirror where he was still watching the other recruits that were talking and packing up to leave. He didn’t know that was going to happen and felt responsible. He was going to listen to them next time and it was agreed upon, even if unspoken, that you weren’t going to be ranked that high again despite the fact that you earned it.
Steve grabbed Bucky’s hand, giving his boyfriend a kiss, before the two of them headed to the restaurant for dinner. They hadn’t had a proper date in a while since missions and training, mainly missions, got in the way. Usually they settled for dates inside the compound because it was just more convenient and if someone got called away, they wouldn’t waste a reservation. The restaurant did have your first choice of tomato soup and Bucky ordered it with a side of their roasted asparagus towards the end of the date.
~~
Natural light was streaming into their room because you had the blinds rolled up to let in a little bit of light but not too much since you didn’t flip the switch to the overhead in the bedroom. Steve and Bucky almost missed you, thinking you might’ve slept in your room instead, until their duvet suddenly shifted. You had curled up so much in the middle of the bed, the duvet piled multiple times over you, that the outline of your body was buried completely.
You stretched out, causing the shift in the first place, and the two men who were still standing in the doorway of their room felt their hearts swoon while their thoughts went to less than pure places. Even fully stretched out and already in the middle of the bed, your feet didn’t reach the edge of the bed. That was something they really liked about you. When Bucky whispered in your ear that they loved the size difference between the three of you and how he and Steve sandwiched you in, he wasn’t talking about body shape but your height.
In a sweet way, they loved how you being short compared to them gave them a sense of protecting you— not that you couldn’t defend yourself, they were well aware of that. How you always had to look up at them to get a kiss. How your oversized bonnets really brought attention to how short you were. And for the longest, your playful pouts when you messed with the team seemed to have their cuteness accentuated by your height or lack thereof. In a less than sweet fashion, they definitely had a thing about size differences— maybe because they were so close in height to each other.
Something fueled the two men, the idea of you wriggling underneath them or struggling on top of them once they could touch you. Steve liked the thought of taking you up against the wall, having to lift you up in order to be eye level with him. Bucky liked the thought of you begging, having to stand on your tiptoes to try and reach his lips in attempts at kissing him while you pleaded for him to finally touch you.
And both of them reveled in the notion of towering over you as you were being manhandled into different positions pinned between them— especially you folded beneath both of them, getting the effects of two super-soldiers driving you into the bed, your short stature being completely hidden to the top man by the man in the middle.
Bucky flipped the light on now that the sun was setting. You whined when you felt the bed dip with the added weight of two super-soldiers and curled back up into a ball, underneath sheets so they couldn’t see you, making either man want to pull you into their lap. Your head finally poked out, eyes closed, bottom lip jutted out. They could see you were in a headscarf instead of a bonnet, this time.
“How long are you gonna keep your eyes shut?” Bucky asked.
“Till I fall back asleep. You ruined my nap, I thought your date would be longer otherwise I wouldn’t have watched TV with Sam and Wanda.”
You threw off the covers and rolled onto your back, lids still shut tight. Both men drew in breaths as they saw your nap attire especially after they had already been thinking filthy thoughts in the doorway.
“It’s taking everything in me not to jump you right now, (Y/N).”
“Hmm?”
“Pretty doll doesn’t even remember what she went to bed in, Steve.”
You popped open an eye unsure of what Bucky was talking about. Lifting an arm over your face, you saw the red cotton of Bucky’s henley. You flopped a little over Bucky’s lap, giving Steve a nice view of your bare lower half— Bucky looking over when he saw the other man staring so hard.
“I took a shower in your bathroom and didn’t want to get clothes. Do you mind?”
Bucky shook his head ferociously. Out of anything, he wanted you dressed like this permanently. The shirt rode up even more over the curve of your butt and he and Steve were positive they were going to draw blood with how hard they were biting their bottom lips. You wiggled over Bucky’s lap when you saw the white paper bag, struggling because his metal arm had you pinned around the waist— and when he wasn’t paying attention, the arm could be deadweight.
“Did they have tomato?” you asked excitedly.
That snapped both men out of their lust-filled haze. You genuinely excited about food was something they hadn’t seen in a long time and after the incident in the afternoon they thought they wouldn’t. Your nap had restarted your system, hunger being the only thing you could focus on when you woke up and you wanted to actually satiate it.
This was nothing new to you— the sudden being okay with food. It was because you were having a moment of clarity that started when you had stepped out of their shower. As you were wrapping the towel around you, you saw your body and it matched the size chart and measurements that you had permanently ingrained in your head. It made you giddy as you checked yourself out a few times before eagerly slipping on the first shirt you found in their dresser. Now you could eat. You weren’t sure how long it would last, could be a few hours at worst or a few months at best. You turned in Bucky’s arm and looked up at him.
“Buuuucckk, did they have tomato soup?”
“Hmm, yeah, yeah, they did. We got you some asparagus too.”
You pulled at his shirt to bring him down into a kiss. “Thank you.”
Your foot poked at Steve when you pulled away, digging into his thigh as a push of affection since he was too far away to kiss. As you twisted your body again to grab the food, Bucky aggressively yanked down the hem of his shirt to keep you covered. You peaked in the bag as you sat up against the headboard.
“You guys got me a Sprite,” you said with a little gleam in your eye as you unpacked the soup and the little dish of asparagus.
You were actually eating rather enthusiastically and Steve found your little food dance cute when you took the first spoonful of soup. They listened to you tell them about your dream in between bites. It was very random including being robbed by a kangaroo and speaking a made up language to negotiate with it for your phone back.
Their eyes occasionally flicked down to the dishes in your hand and lap, watching as you continuously ate and they could actually see it going down. You finished all the asparagus, half the can of Sprite, and half the bowl of tomato soup. You put the lid back on the soup and handed it to Bucky since he was closer to the nightstand and you didn’t feel like reaching over him.
“Remind me to put it in the fridge so I can save it for tomorrow. That place makes really good food, will you two take me some time?”
“Of course,” Steve answered.
“I needed that. I love soup, it makes your heart all warm… cuddle with me.”
“You’re our little needy doll,” Bucky joked as they both got up to shower and change into softer clothes.
“I’ve had a long day,” you yelled so they could hear you in the bathroom.
“We know, baby. Hard day on our strong girl.” Steve was back in the bed first, peppering your face in kisses. “Your (e/c) eyes are drawing me in like the abyss.”
“Of course they are, Stevie, they’re freaking gemstones. Tell me again,” you basked in the compliment.
“Unh-unh.” Steve chuckled when you frowned before he kissed you, nipping at your bottom lip briefly.
“I’ve got a new one for you. Love your (shade tone) brown skin, lighting you up in the sun like an angel… you enjoyed that one?”
His question was more of a statement as he wore a slight smirk on his face when he moved to hover over you. It wasn’t hard for him to hear the hitch in your breath and see the smile you always got when he and Bucky complimented you. Steve lowered to his elbows so that your noses were touching, some of his body settled on you like a weighted blanket.
“Hmm, (Y/N)? Did you like that compliment? Because it’s a fact, you know. The contrast between me and Buck looks so nice like the highlights and shadows of my charcoal sketches. Can I draw you some time, pretty doll, huh? Gonna let me draw you?”
You leaned up to his ear. “Like a French girl, Captain. Just for you, all for you.”
Steve groaned and quickly caught your bottom lip between his teeth. His fingers left pinpricks of tingles as he traced up your leg and stopped on your thigh. He got off of you and pulled you onto his chest.
“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you?” he asked just as Bucky came out of the bathroom.
“What’s she doing?” He settled onto the bed.
“Putting her cute face to shame with such a dirty mouth.”
Bucky chuckled and pushed Steve over so he could be the biggest spoon. The tips of Bucky’s fingers were able to reach you and you liked being able to have contact with both of them even if you weren’t in between them.
“What’s up, (Y/N)?” Bucky asked as he heard your sigh over the noise of the television that you had turned on.
“What if it doesn’t last? If I wake up tomorrow and the mirror looks weird again?”
“Then we get through it like we get through everything else.”

Doctor Who Companion Rankings
Here is my rankings for the Doctors Companions from NuWho and my reasonings behind it. I’ve just started 13s run, so I do apologize if you feel I’m disrespecting your favourites
In 13th place is Rose Tyler. Words cannot describe how much a genuinely hate her. I know she was the first, and I know a lot of people love her, but I literally can’t. She’s whiny, she’s annoying, and her voice is just.. horrible. I’m sorry to all those Rose Stan’s out there, but I was only able to get behind her slightly in 10’s regeneration era. She was also horrible to Mickey. Like, that’s your boyfriend babes. You’re essentially cheating on him with trying to get with the Doctor.
In 12th I’m going to say Amy. I’ll be honest, I didn’t really feel much of a connection to 11, and his era is the one I forget about the most. So ergo, I don’t think much about Amy. (Rory on the other hand?? Well he’s coming don’t you worry folks.) Not to mention Amy is kinda just a shit wife. She constantly makes Rory doubt himself, she technically SA’d the Doctor, and it feels like her only personality traits were that she’s Scottish and there was a crack in her bedroom wall when she grew up.
11th place goes to Ryan. Like I said earlier, I’m literally just starting 13’s run. I’m on like series 11 episode 5, so I don’t have much on any of them. He seems like he’s been through a lot, and while I can’t relate on the details of that “a lot” i’ve been through it too. I’m on the fence about Ryan. He seems like a genuine kid who just wants to help. He reminds me of Mickey honestly, so that’s a bonus. I’m excited to get to know him more.
10th place goes to Yaz. I know there’s a lot of Thasmin stan’s out there, and I agree, based off the edits I’ve seen on TikTok, the little bits I’ve seen in my watch through, they make a good pair. Yaz feels like a good person for the Doctor to grow close to again after remembering everything that happened when they were Twelve. But again, I haven’t had time to form a connection to the character.
9th is for Graham. I love him. He’s kind, he’s firm in his beliefs, and he’s a fucking idiot. Yknow how there are those people that are just so dumb but they have the greatest soul ever? Yea. That’s how I feel about Graham. Everything about him feels like he would bring you milk and cookies if you were sad. However I don’t know if that’s the case, but I’m really hoping it is.
8th place belongs to Martha. I liked her episodes. She was smart and a good match for the Doctor, but I feel like her pining for 10 was completely unnecessary. Because of her being attracted to him, she wound up getting pushed away because he was still in love with Rose and that, to me at least, ruined her character a little bit. She was a bit whiny too, but I’m going to chalk it up to being set in the late 2000’s because I actually like her.
7th place is everyone’s favourite face, Captain Jack Harkness. I love Jack with my whole soul, much like everyone else from this moment onwards. He’s a walking queer disaster which is so relatable it hurts. He’s funny, kind, and he doesn’t give up. In “The Parting of the Ways”, I nearly cried when he died and then started cheering when he was revived. Jack is a great character and I’m very happy that he’s part of the show
6th place is for Nardole. He’s so fucking funny it hurts sometimes. Like his offhand comments and stories are amazing. He’s dedicated to the cause of keeping Missy stored in the vault, he’s there for the Doctor while he’s blind, and he’s just hilarious. He’s a fearful badass who is a god damn sass machine and that’s amazing. His character compliments Bill and the Doctor perfectly.
5th place is stolen by Bill. Bill is the greatest lesbian to ever grace my tv screen. She’s funny, she’s sassy, and like Jack, she’s a walking queer disaster. Her and the 12th Doctor were the perfect platonic soulmates, the two of them are a close 2nd to 10 and Donna. They compliment each other’s personalities so well, it’s crazy. I cried when Bill died. There was something about her and 12 that were just so right.
4th place is Rory! Rory is perfection. I will take absolutely no Rory criticism here. This is a safe space for Rory and Rory enjoyers. As a person who doesn’t align with their assigned gender, I like to headcannon Rory as trans (ftm). He’s so silly and goofy and that’s how I imagine I’ll feel when I’m comfortable with myself. There’s something so inherently queer about Rory. He’s such a sweetheart.
Finally into the Podium Placements, is River Song claiming the 3rd place medal. Do I need to explain? River is someone who came out of nowhere and immediately stole my heart. I loved her the moment I saw her mess of curly hair in the library episodes. She does a brilliant job of being kind and funny and smart and a total badass all while protecting those she loves in the process. She’s someone 11 needed, someone 10 needed, and someone 12 needed. She gave something to every doctor she met and that’s beautiful to me.
2nd place goes to Donna. Donna Noble is one of the greatest characters in Doctor Who history. She’s sassy, she’s kind, she’s clever, and she’s not afraid to put the Doctor in their place (as I’m sure she’ll get sassy with 13 in the 60th Anniversary specials.) Donna Is what the Doctor needed after he said goodbye to Rose. The boost of adrenaline, the satisfaction of helping someone in need, and a good humour reboot within him. There is no one better for 10 than Donna. She will always be my favourite 10 companion.
And of course, last but certainly not least, coming in at #1 is Clara Oswald. I have loved Clara the moment we saw her in S07E01, “The Dalek Asylum” as Oswin Oswald. she’s funny, she’s clever, she’s beautiful, she’s kind, she makes the Doctor smile, she knew him best. There is no one on this list who could beat her over. Clara Oswald is the companion I was the most attached to. I have a video on my phone of me literally sobbing as I react to her death. “Face The Raven” truly broke me. That episode is one of the best I’ve ever seen, despite how emotional it made me. Clara and the Doctor were in love. You can deny it all you want, but Jenna Coleman has confirmed that Clara loved the Doctor. The two of them were written as a love story. Clara’s ending on Doctor Who was so painfully beautiful and the Doctors fight to get her back is so telling. The Doctor will do anything for her and that’s a love that is so powerful and beautiful and it’s so perfect that it hurts. I will never get over Clara Oswald. She is the best person the Doctor has ever met, and I stand by that wholly.

it’s what she’s made for.
Tumblr media
— 23rd July 2023.
here i was.
digesting and perceiving the moment.
the moment where i was experiencing astonishment mixed with melancholy.
Tumblr media
grab your pink popcorn while reading my review.
p/s: I’m not a professional, these are just my personal opinions :))
Tumblr media
It’s exactly what she’s made for;
Being herself.
This movie started as expected;
- The pinkiest movie ever
- Thousands of Barbies and Kens in Barbieland
- Signature, recognizable and iconic Barbie trademarks
- Harmonious atmosphere
- Jubilant soundtracks
Greta did an immaculate job on keeping those Barbie elements, but still figuring out ways to impress audiences with ostentatious plots.
As a former Barbie fanatic, I can totally verify that.
The elements are incredibly specific and detailed. Margot single-handedly managed to not show a single emotion in her natural yet striking doll-like eyes while playing the Stereotypical Barbie, as well as Ryan (Ken), and so as other Barbies and Kens. Greta also mentioned that the Kens had to shave before shooting since the dolls have no body/facial hair. The floating to downstairs, high heels feet, thick wigs, pink dreamhouses, clothes, plastics, stickers, literally every typical thing that you could think of Barbie is adequately included in this movie. (pls trust me, it’ll be like a iykyk type of moment if you’re a Barbie fan).
This movie emphasizes compelling gender equality messages where in Barbieland, Barbies are dominant, while Kens are just a part of the accessories. Traveling to the real world has led Ken questioned his worth as he assimilates that men are rulers in the real world, he decided to implement all the toxic male-dominated agendas that he learned, including patriarchy, in Barbieland.
On the contrary, witnessing that men are ruling the two worlds, Barbie was devastated and got into a major existential crisis. Fortunately, Gloria’s monologue (played by America Ferrera), woke Barbie’s mind and was the most valorous thing I’ve ever listened to.
“It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong.
You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood.
But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line.
It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don't even know."
Preach!
All the Barbies boycotted Ken’s new agendas, and had also led Ken into having existential crisis. Barbie told Ken that he needed to independently figure out his true self, other than being Barbie’s accessory.
As light-hearted as she is, Barbie has reached another level of emulation – to leave the idyllic pink world, as she realizes that she also needs to discover herself apart from being the Stereotypical Barbie. She’s ready to face it all in the real world.
Wow, did i just leave a spoiler there? lol. But for me the messages are well-executed for every single human being. Ratings are not required for this masterpiece. Period.
Let’s take a few moments to reflect on our worth, reduce all expectations and let things happen naturally with an open mind.

rymin. discuss.
Depends on the day really. I feel like most the stuff I’ve drawn of them has been angsty and I like that but I want cute shit too and I’m trying to make more.....it’s just wips though 😭
I think when it comes to the cruel part I always go back to their separation period cuz some shit definitely went down for both of them that we don’t completely see and hnnghhh. It’s where I go insane thinking of Ryan specifically. Like he very clearly isn’t doing good at all, especially performance wise. He gets gigs at retirement homes where his "audience" falls asleep despite the music being loud. He tries just playing in the middle of a party and literally no one pays him attention. I also believe that despite his efforts, Ryan isn’t great at making friends or good impressions. Like idk I can definitely see him trying way too hard but everyone finds him weird or annoying. He can maybe get ppl to stay for a minute but can’t keep it up (ex. his girlfriends). Which made his separation from Min-Gi especially difficult, that’s the only person he thought cared about him, and then it seemingly isn’t true (to Ryan) after battle. He has to live with Min for the first time in his life, and he immediately tries to enter relationships with women to replace the pain left behind by Min (cough gay coding cough). And you just know how he’s trying so despite to make everything work, cuz if he doesn’t it’d mean that he was wrong, his dreams are unrealistic and stupid, and Min might be better off without him. Ryan could find an evil comfort in the idea that Min is just as miserable as he is, and he definitely tries to believe it when he returns because well. It’s fucking true lol. And boy is my man Ryan bottled up he would never say upfront that his solo career went awful because honestly if he did earlier in the season Min would go all bracket mouth smug about it akshjaka
As for the Min-Gi side it’s very uh. It’s far too relatable to me and I don’t like it 😤. I can very much understand why he didn’t wanna just up and leave with Ryan on such short notice with no plan, though I’d probably try to talk about that after singing our funny songs instead of leaving him on stage alone. But where’s the drama in that 🙄 these bitches are mentally ill. Min is then forcing himself to comply to whatever his parents want from him, very much ignoring his painfully strong need to play music with Ryan. There’s no future in music, he must be in FINANCE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON RISK ASSESSMENT. During his intense ass repression (and on the train) he fully believes Ryan is having the time of his life without him, living their dream. He won’t admit it though because he’s again, very repressed and stubborn. But you just know he gets that cassette from Ryan and listens to it 24/7 like "arghhhh....my homosexual desires are back 😤". Okay maybe not but it’s funny to imagine. It’d be pretty damn easy to blame everything on Ryan while acting like he’s in the right for being "smart" and "realistic", and I wouldn’t doubt the possibility that his parents compare the two and remark on how Min ended up so good through all that. And just the feelings of knowing you’re making your parents proud by living someone else’s life is just. OOF. Hits hard. If we go back to gay coding it would be pretty damn likely that part of the Uni Plan was the expectation that Min would meet a girl who he’d date and/or marry. And he plays the role of a straight man despite being desperately gay. So the whole "choosing the gay path despite the fact it won’t make your parents happy" thing is very good I’m always crying about it
This has become increasingly incoherent so that’s the angst shit I feed off of. As for fluff I like when they k-k-kiss 😳
