Hot take, but every Gigan design after the original has been a step down

60's Gigan (to me) is one of the most perfect kaiju designs ever created. Strange and alien, with a hodgepodge mix of parts that seem as though they shouldn't make work together- the neck and body of a goose, the head of an eagle, marlin-like fins, big dragon-like scales, and a bunch of pointy metal bits to imply cybernetic augmentation, all tied together with one big, red eye. It's a design that tiptoes up to the line of being too busy, but stops exactly where it needs to. Gigan, to me, is the template for "monster of the week" kaiju. Shows like Ultraman and ESPECIALLY Sentai owe Gigan a lot for demonstrating how you do that kind of design right.

And then they had to go and make Final Wars Gigan.

Don't get me wrong. I don't *hate* Gigan's 2004 look. It's cool and it fits the vibe of the movie. But my god, is it over-designed. It's like they looked at every one of his major features and turned the goth slider up to 11. It's not terrible, but it's a lot busier than it needs to be. On top of that... I mean let's just be honest, he looks more like some kind of outré kink outfit- and to be clear there's nothing wrong with that within the context of Godzilla Final Wars (arguably the horniest Godzilla film). I can't imagine him working in any other context though. Plop the original Gigan into virtually any other Godzilla movie (or really, almost any kaiju/toku film/show/etc.) and he makes sense. Millenium Gigan is cool, but he'd be really hard to fit into something that didn't already have a similar aesthetic.

Gigan Rex corrects the course a little bit.

I guess on some level I only half count this because it's not a suit, but that's also just kinda how things are now. It works for me, I just feel like it leaned into the anime vibes a little too much. This says, "cult classic PS2 RPG," to me more than it says, "Godzilla." The longer blades are cool though and I do like the idea of him being red. Not a fan of the pink eye, that should have been blue or something.

Though I suppose I can take solace in the fact that neither of them are the Godziban designs...

I'm not sure if I love it or if I fucking haaaate it.

Godzilla X Kong hot take:

If a Japanese Godzilla film had designed Goji the same way Legendary is doing in the new Godzilla X Kong film, loads of us would be saying how different and interesting it is, like a callback to Godzilla 2000 but with a neat tweak. We'd think the pink spines and leaner design were quirky, but cool.

While I admit that I'm not the biggest fan of the new design, the hate is undeserved. But this is the same community that lost their collective shit over Godzilla 2014's stumpy feet, so....

*Near the end of the mission- the Titans have pulled off the impossible. They found Gigan, Abraxas bested him in combat, got from him the necessary failsafe they knew he had, and now they were trying to escape. Unfortunately- one of the groups was trapped. Godzilla, Rodan, Abraxas, Barb, and Tiamat were stuck in a room that had caught fire- likely from one of Abraxas's lightning attacks. The door was blocked by debris from the other side- and Godzilla banged on the door to get it to open while the fires licked at their backsides.*

Rodan: We're all gonna die, we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die...

Godzilla, Abraxas, and Tiamat: WOULD YOU QUIT IT?!

Rodan: IT'S TRUE! THIS WAS AN AWFUL IDEA! WHY DID I LET MYSELF BE TALKED INTO THIS??? God I'll never get to see the Sun again- feel the wind rushing past me in flight- never *mate* with anyone again! This is the end...

Godzilla: STOP BEING A DRAMA QUEEN AND HELP ME ALREADY!

Rodan: It's curtain call- requiem's playing- fat lady singing... Quick- I gotta get some stuff off my chest, guys.

Tiamat: Fucks sake.

Rodan: Abraxas- Vivienne- San- whatever the fuck you go by- I love you. Despite all the snipping and teasing and rudeness- we go together great and I love being around you and I really really really wanted to have more time with you.

Rodan: Barb- I was just being an asshole when I called you a bug that one time. I'm sorry- you looked really sad when I said it and I felt like I couldn't say sorry because that would make my tough guy masquerade come crumbling down and everyone would see me for the glorified hatchling I was- putting up a front and deflecting everything with humor and wit so I didn't have to feel things.

Rodan: Tiamat- you don't deserve all the shit people say about you behind your back. Yeah, you're kind of a slut; but that's cool- y'know? You don't give a shit and I think that's really respectable and I wish I could be like you and not have such a fragile ego. You're also funny and fun to be around- and I feel like no one ever tells you that, y'know?

Rodan: And Godzilla- I've always sorta thought you were hot.

Godzilla: ...what-

Rodan: FUCK, your roar, your body, DID I MENTION HOW GOOD YOU LOOK IN THE PINK?? I got on your ass for it, I know, I'm sorry- but god, you look good. You're also just real quiet and sweet when you wanna be and super calm most of the time and JESUS CHRIST, YOUR VOICE-

Barb: Uh- Rodan?

Rodan: -I tell ya, if you ever showed interest I would've bent over. In. A. Heartbeat. But... I never knew how to tell you this. You're just really intimidating all the time and whenever I talk to you I feel like you tune me out and never really listen as you just have that stone-cold look all the time and y'know me: Rodan, King of The Skies who needs nobody but himself to keep him company. But you seem like a cool guy... and I wanted to be better friends with you before...

Mothra: What the fuck.

Rodan: what-

*The rubble had been cleared and the door was open. On the other side was Dagon, Shimo, Mothra, Behemoth, and Kong; and they were all staring at Rodan with agape maws- along with everyone else.*

Rodan: ...shit.

Mothra: Got one for me in there?

Rodan: You guys just leave me here- I'll be dying of-

Godzilla/Abraxas/Tiamat/Barb: Absolutely not!

*Godzilla grabs Rodan and throws him over his shoulder as the gang runs down the now open hall, reunited with their friends.*

Oh, Rodan, you drama queen.

Dagon: Honestly, this is going much better than I expected, but how did you get the fail safe from Gigan?

Abraxas: Classified.

*five minutes earlier*

Abraxas: Give me the fail safe or I'll never let you record me being carved open like a turkey again.

Gigan: Oh, sweetheart, you'll have to do better than that.

Abraxas:

Abraxas: Hey, you know all those grotesque leather family tree things you have hung up in that hallway, like Clive Barker Bayeux Tapestries From Hell? The ones your followers made out of their skin and gave to you as offerings that will be added to with every generation?

Gigan: ...you didn't.

Abraxas: I did.

Gigan: No.

Abraxas: It was easy.

Gigan: You MONSTER, THE AMOUNT OF HISTORY IN THOSE TAPESTRIES! THE BLOOD AND SWEAT AND TEARS THAT WENT INTO FLAYING AND TANNING THEM!

Abraxas: And now they're all tilted.

Gigan: THAT FUCKING HALLWAY IS GOING TO GIVE ME SUCH A GODDAMN HEADACHE, YOU CARRION SPAWN FROM THE DARKEST PIT OF EVIL!!

Y’know what disaster/monster media needs more of? People who save the day/survive/endure while looking their absolute worst. Show me a zombie apocalypse starring the man who went for an early-morning jog in his short-shorts and a hole-filled sweatshirt from high school. Show me the woman abducted by aliens on a night she slept in her hot pink cartoon owl pants and a lime green Save the Whales tee. Let people have character! I'm so tired of everyone dressing for the situation that they couldn't possibly have anticipated, just so the audience knows they're watching an Action Movie. If Godzilla busts through your kitchen at 3am, you're not gonna be dressed and ready in your Adventure Pants so you can run for your life in a fashionable outfit!

#movies #i just want to see some interesting costume choices for once in this corporate media hellscape #not another woman in shorts and a tank top narrowly avoiding a natural disaster #not another Action Man in his slightly dirty (from the Action) white/gray/black shirt #please i am begging for some visual interest

'In one corner, veteran heavyweight Christopher Nolan. In the other, nimble visionary Greta Gerwig. Their big films come out on the same day – but whose will triumph at the box office?

We live in divisive times. Opinion is more tribal and entrenched than ever, the value of reasoned argument and willing compromise plummeting by the day. This volatility could spread to the multiplex next month, where a battle of the blockbusters is destined to make previous cinematic standoffs – Mothra v Godzilla, Alien v Predator, Kramer vs Kramer – look like games of playground pat-a-cake. Get ready, then, for Barbie v Oppenheimer.

Directed by celebrated auteurs (Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan respectively), and hyped by multiple trailers over the past year, both movies are scheduled to open on the same crowded day. Forget your QR codes: this is one time to buy a physical ticket and save the stub to show your grandchildren. Future generations will want to know where you stood on 21 July 2023 when Barbie met the bomb.

In the pink corner is Gerwig’s DayGlo toy story starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, who while away their days happily but vacuously in Barbie-land. In a plot apparently borrowed from Enchanted and The Purple Rose of Cairo, with a dash of Don’t Worry Darling, they swap their cosseted fairytale existence for our harsh modern world. (The trailer shows Barbie having her police mugshot taken after walloping a Venice Beach groper in the face.) The cast incorporates hot young things Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Jamie Demetriou and, most excitingly, the new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, as well as old hands Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon and Will Ferrell; Helen Mirren is on narrating duties.

The 39-year-old Gerwig is arguably as big a selling point as Robbie or Gosling, as well as a guarantor of quality control. The three-time Oscar nominee directed Lady Bird and Little Women, as well as co-directing with Joe Swanberg the long-distance love story Nights and Weekends, back in the days when she was the doyenne of the lo-fi indie “mumblecore” movement. Her co-writer on Barbie is her partner, the director Noah Baumbach, with whom she wrote gems such as Frances Ha and Mistress America. Back in 2010 when she was promoting Greenberg, the bittersweet Baumbach comedy which became her Hollywood springboard, she spoke of her childhood habit of jumbling up the letters in her name: “In second grade, I’d be writing ‘Great Gerwig, Great Gerwig’ on everything,” she said. These days, it’s more than just an anagram.

Her opponent is the 52-year-old Nolan, a five-time Oscar nominee who has heft on his side. His is the weightier directing CV (12 films), with Oppenheimer his longest yet: he recently confirmed that it is “kissing three hours”, which makes it more than an hour longer than Barbie. This is serious, spectacular event cinema, shot with Imax cameras and booked long ago into all that format’s venues – to the apparent chagrin of Tom Cruise, whose latest Mission: Impossible adventure opens a week earlier but will be relegated to smaller screens the instant Oppenheimer drops.

Nolan’s cast is every bit as impressive as Gerwig’s; as well as the perpetually haunted Cillian Murphy as the physicist Robert J Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb, Nolan has assembled Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Robert Downey Jr, Gary Oldman and Kenneth Branagh. The chances of any of them rollerblading à la Gosling in Barbie are negligible, which may help explain why Gerwig’s film is on track to have the more impressive opening weekend. Not that Oppenheimer will exactly bomb.

Barbie also has the edge when it comes to marketing opportunities, as might be expected of any movie adapted from merchandise. This goes way beyond the valley of the dolls: among the many tie-in products is an inflatable Barbie pool-float golf-cart, a Barbie dog’s basket, and an electric toothbrush capable of 36,000 sonic vibrations a minute – the same effect you get from watching Oppenheimer in Imax.

Unlike Barbie, Nolan’s film probably doesn’t have its own Exclusive Oral Beauty Partner, though given his protagonist’s chain-smoking tendencies there may be a teeth-whitening deal in the offing. And we shouldn’t rule out Oppenheimer throwing its hat in the ring when it comes to headgear. As far back as 2010, one plaintive user on thefedoralounge.com was searching “for a lid like the one the famous nuclear physicist wore,” citing a “2½-inch snap brim and a very thin ribbon” and concluding that “such a hat would be positively atomic”. Factor in the Cillian Murphy effect – this is the man who helped popularise the Peaky Blinders newsboy cap/undercut combo – and the Oppenheimer fedora and brown wool coat could be the look to replace Barbie’s summery pink once the nippier months roll around.

Some mild shade has already been thrown between the film’s respective camps on social media. “Greta Gerwig could do Oppenheimer but Christopher Nolan couldn’t do Barbie,” observed one tweet. Another overreached by proposing that “Margot Robbie could do Oppenheimer but Cillian Murphy couldn’t do Barbie” – clearly the work of someone who has never seen him in Breakfast on Pluto or Peacock. But the encouraging thing about the Barbie v Oppenheimer discourse is that, by and large, it has not followed the contours that often prevail in our online interactions. For anyone who loves cinema, the vibe feels closer to a cuddle than a cage fight.

There is real genius in this tactic of opening films catering for different audiences on the same day (known as counter-programming). The canny part is not what separates Nolan and Gerwig but what unites them: despite a clear contrast of style and sensibility, both directors possess a comparable skill, intelligence and passion, and tend to inspire loyalty in their fans. This same situation could never have arisen had Oppenheimer been pitted against, say, The Super Mario Bros Movie. Though that film is a smash, having grossed more than $1bn worldwide to date, it has nothing in it to propel cultural conversation along with profits.

Opening two films together that share similar DNA would also produce less of a spark. The experience of going to an afternoon screening of Ghostbusters on opening day in December 1984, then coming out and going straight back in to see Gremlins at teatime, was thrilling for my friends and me as 13-year-olds (especially as Gremlins was rated 15), but it was a routine sort of double bill on reflection: both were comedies that trafficked in the scary or supernatural.

What makes the combination of Barbie and Oppenheimer sing is that it is unlikely but not nonsensical. And though the films’ subjects are markedly different, there will be some overlap between their audiences. The major Rorschach test of our era, one Twitter user has suggested, will be whether you follow Oppenheimer with Barbie or vice versa. It’s no longer the case of “either/or” that it first appeared to be but rather “which one first?”. The Picturehouse chain is even extending the double bill idea by screening a selection of both directors’ past work in the coming weeks; audiences can see Lady Bird take flight alongside Interstellar, or pair Little Women and Dunkirk in a double bill of wartime stories, albeit from different wars.

Contrary to the way the rivalry was initially framed, this is no replay of the hostile Blur v Oasis Britpop war of the mid-1990s. Even the formulation of Barbie v Oppenheimer misrepresents the tenor of this unusual pairing: shouldn’t it be the more harmonious Barbie x Oppenheimer, in the style of today’s brand collaborations? Whichever film prevails financially, the result will be less meaningful to audiences than what these movies represent in a post-pandemic landscape that has seen famished exhibitors begging for new product.

Next month’s clash only came about in the first place because of Nolan’s commitment to cinemas over streaming. He would likely have set up Oppenheimer at his usual home, Warner Bros, had that studio not instigated a policy in 2021 (no longer in force today) of releasing its films simultaneously in cinemas and on HBO Max, in response to uncertainty during the pandemic. (Nolan, remember, had ruled out a streaming release for his previous film, Tenet, back in 2020 when cinema exhibition was at its most precarious.) Warner Bros still hopes to woo him back. Barbie is a Warners film, and if the studio had been distributing both pictures, they would never have let them go out on the same day. But Nolan took Oppenheimer to Universal – hence the scheduling pile-up.

No matter. The impact of Covid and the streaming revolution have been bruising, even in some cases annihilating, to parts of the industry. But contrary to the tagline from Alien Vs Predator – “Whoever wins … we lose” – the outcome of Barbie opening in lockstep with Oppenheimer can only be positive. Whichever one triumphs, cinema rules.'

Seeing lots of hate on the new GxK Godzilla design.

Setting aside toy flaws and that one stupid running shot from the trailer, I actually really like what I see. I wouldn't want every Godzilla to be '90s extreme hot pink, but... I think I do want that once.

2023 recap 🎀🪩🥂

tagged by @grusinskayas 🩷

top films:

♡ barbie — omg THE movie of 2023 for me. it was so fun to see this in theaters with an audience that was just as excited as i was to laugh, to say hi to our inner child and to enjoy the color pink. i saw it twice

♡ godzilla minus one — the hype for this movie was SO real and it exceeded our outrageously high expectations. i’ve never been so scared of a godzilla before and i have never felt so much rage toward a godzilla before. i also saw this one twice and i liked it better the second time

♡ gentlemen prefer blondes — for the memory of when @healingmoonlight came over in august and we sang all the songs and recited all the best lines by heart 🫶🏻

top tv series:

♡ the dick van dyke show — my comfort show. life would be different without this show. always a top series

♡ nana — this show and this manga changed my fucking LIFE. it’s such an exciting feeling to be so captivated by new stories and new characters

♡ clannad — this was a rewatch for my bf! season one was all fun and games but he had to do a lot of comforting during season two

top books:

♡ happy place by emily henry — this book fucking gutted me. this book was on my mind every second i wasn’t reading it

♡ heartless by elsie silver — the chestnut springs series really took me by surprise!! this one is such a fun read and it is SO hot and so sweet

♡ holiday romance by catherine walsh — THE christmas romcom of 2023 for me. it is UNBEARABLY cute and i fell so hard for the love interest

top songs:

♡ there she goes by the la’s — so i went back to my old job this summer and i play music all the time in my classroom! this song is in my “caitlin vibes” playlist and when it turns on it makes me feel like i’m the star of a cute 90s family movie

♡ chain of fools by aretha franklin — for the memories of me and bf jamming the fuck out to this song

♡ love is a many-splendored thing by the four aces — the DRAMA of this song. i replayed this one many times lol

top quote:

i’m not much of a quote girlie but this part in happy place did something to me. it really gave some attention to this weird, alienating feeling i’ve been experiencing for the last couple of years that i find myself ignoring all the time because i still just don’t have the words for it? so points for that

“I was really, really happy when I was a kid. My parents were happy. And then they weren’t. And when they separated and moved on . . . it took a while, but they both found happiness again. Or, you know, their semi-twisted versions of that.

“With new partners and new kids. Everyone got this fresh start. But I wasn’t a part of either one. I was part of their relationship. And once that was over, I bounced back and forth like—like a memento or something. The only thing that ever felt permanent to me, like it belonged to me, was this place.”

tagging @silk-fleur @miumiumacaron @tyronepowerbottom @fitzgeraldsflapper @disneydayandnight @sugarsplumfairy happy new year!!! 🥂

It's 2am and I want to kiss you

iwaizumi x f!reader

summary: American frat parties aren't too bad with a hot guy.

You stumble on the balcony, letting your legs hang between the white pillars of the famous frat building. You let your drowsy head lean on the cool stone, taking a deep breath. 19 years into your life and you still couldn't control your alcohol. You take notice of the plastic yellow bucket and bottles of water in the corner and laugh, at least they were prepared this time. You feel your bra dig into your ribcage, your jeans tight against your stomach and you remember why you hate dressing up.

You also remember why you hate parties. Everyone is vomiting, your friends with their other friends and you're here, outside in the cold air. You feel a beep in your pocket and quickly check.

guyss he's taking me to his room, hope this dick is good aye.

You snort, and quickly type pls use protection, taking notice of the time; somehow 2:01 already. You loved your friends, you really did, but sometimes the relentless jealousy would rise up. They had boyfriends, girlfriends and experiences you never had. You wanted to have those stories, those stupid regrettable stories you would tell your kids one day.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't know someone was here." You hear a nice voice behind you ask. You nod, looking at the night view of Birtwhistle University, small lights of thousands of building decorating the dark night. You decide to throw your wallowing pity away for another night. "You okay?"

"M' okay. Just letting the air hit my face a bit," you sigh deeply, the cool air going through your body. "Had one too many sohju shots."

"Ah, been there," his accent makes your eyes widen as you look back and see a familiar face, Iwaizumi, who lives in the same exchange building as you, actually right next to you. He was known, for being the quiet and incredibly hot exchange student basically. Iwaizumi is leaning on the doorframe, his eyes closed, enjoying the soft breeze, a glass bottle of apple cider in his hands. He's wearing a grey hoodie with matching shorts and a par of slides, you wish you had his comfort.

You've said 'hi' countless times as you pass each other in halls, libraries and classes and you even helped him with an English quiz but you've never actually fully spoken to him.

In your fantasies? Now that's a different story.

"Ah, Hajime? Oh sorry, Iwaizumi, right?" He gives a small smile and nods, you notice how his cheeks are flushed and you're glad you're not the only one a bit fucked tonight.

"Yeah, I'm used to being called Hajime though," you nod, wondering if you should use your Japanese class to it's potential.

"Feel free to sit," you pat the spot next to you. You quickly realize why you drink at parties, your shy exterior is peeled off to show someone who can be just as fun as her friends. You're not quiet, awkward or easily embarrassed when the alcohol runs through your body. You turn and see his eyes widen and the tip of his ears get pink. He nods and hesitantly sits next to you, his legs hanging next to yours and thighs touching. You can't help but peak at his muscular thighs, defined and tough muscle ripping through the soft grey fabric.

God, this man was built like a true Greek god.

You didn't really consider yourself someone openly horny, and perhaps it is due to the alcohol, but Iwaizumi is just about one of the hottest men you've seen in your life. Maybe it was his respectable energy, or his weird obsession with Godzilla-themed items. His arms definitely had something to do with it. You weren’t sure but the amount of times you were in the gym with him coincidentally there (5 so far) made you realize how badly you wanted to make out with Iwaizumi.

"You liking America?" He asks, his voice slightly slurring however still deep and rumbling through his throat.

"It's okay, it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. However, it’s only been two weeks so," your comment makes him laugh and it's fruity yet deep in his chest. You chuckle, the drunk honesty flowing through your veins. If he asked you, ‘y/n do you find me hot and if so, do you wanna kiss?’ you would wholeheartedly answer back ‘why yes Iwaizumi, I’ve been waiting to smash my lips against yours and to touch your arms at least once.'

“I have to agree with you, it’s not too bad with you here,” he laughs, clearly the cider starting to have it's delayed effect. You reminisce on his words, the back of your neck suddenly feeling very warm. The air feels drunk and maybe it’s in your alcohol-influenced head or your Iwaizumi-infected heart but maybe, just maybe, he could be flirty.

"You a heavy weight, Iwaizumi?” You ask, this may be the only time you actually talk with him so you plan to enjoy every second of it.

“Good question,” he slightly leans into you and you’re not sure if he’s a sleepy drunk or impossibly flirty, however it appears to be more the latter. “Yes, everyday.”

You try to not laugh as he completely misheard what you said but you honestly can't be bothered asking again.

"What's your favourite memory from childhood?" His head lays on your shoulder, you can feel his hair on your collarbone, it's almost ticklish as Iwaizumi hums a tune you can't quite figure out. He whips out his phone, and you can't see what he's doing before showing you a picture of him as a kid. He has a paper hat, a stick and he's on top of a man, you only assume it's his dad.

"I liked catching cicadas and freaking my mum out with it," you laugh as he says this because you realize that the photo has zero correlation with this story. You were getting to know him better, Iwaizumi wasn't just a simple hot guy built like Achilles. He was a boy who did goofy things, like terrorize his mother with bugs and use his dad as a horse for photos.

"Did you kill them?"

"Nah," you realize the song he's humming is 'Party in the U.S.A' by Miley Cyrus. "They have a short lifespan so I let them live."

"How noble," before you can ask another question, his drunk face stares at you, deep in thought over probably nothing.

"Why did you come to America?" You tilt your head, slightly confused over his question. His ears go slightly red as he looks away, eyes glued to the big trees. "I overheard you talking about how you should've gone to Japan instead of America."

You felt embarrassed, cheeks heating up more with his eyes on you, however you take a deep breath.

"Do you want the honest," you tip your drink with his to clink, "drunk truth?"

"Is there any better kind?" He clinks his drink with yours, smiling. God, he smelt good, the sweet cider bubbling through a soft cologne that reminds you of freshwater river weirdly enough.

"I got a scholarship, I entered on a whim and got accepted. Plus, my friends really wanted come here," you say, slight sadness running through your voice. Oh god, here comes the emotions. "I didn't want to be the party pooper to say no, so…”

"Here you are, with me," he says, almost breathless. His star-struck eyes stuck on yours and you realize, holy shit, you are talking to Iwaizumi Hajime. The guy you've been thirsting over for the past two weeks, the guy who helped you when your books dropped all over the floor. The guy who apparently just stares at you sometimes.

"Why don't you talk to him?" Your friend slightly nudges you, smirking.

"Are you kidding? He's too hot to approach," you sigh, walking past the lounge room where he's playing Mario Kart with some friends, clearly a life-or-death situation with how loud they are. You can't help but let a smile escape as you see Iwaizumi's toothy grin as he wins, lifting his muscular arms up in glory and triumph.

"Oh, come on, y/n," your other friend groans, "we keep telling you he just sometimes stares at you, as if he wants to talk to you."

"And I keep telling you that you're getting my hopes up for nothing!"

"Here I am, with you," you give a small smile. Perhaps coming to America wasn't such a bad idea. You lean back, ignoring how his eyes slightly ogle at your chest. Your hand is dangerously close to his much bigger hand. You try to hide the loud thump in your heart as Iwaizumi puts his hands on top of yours. You whip your eyes to his soft, olive green eyes, slowly sobering up with each enamored second he's with you.

Okay, this is happening. You thank whatever God that allowed you to have this moment. This experience of a lifetime, you can already imagine it.

"I cured cancer and diabetes!"

"Oh yeah? Well, I got to hold hands with Iwaizumi Hajime!"

"I can't believe I am talking to you," he says, suddenly laying on the floor, looking at the stars in disbelief, his hands hiding his sudden red face. You try to hide your disappointment as his warm sturdy hands are no longer on you. His hoodie slightly lifting, revealing a six-pack that you know you will never forget.

"What do you mean? I should be saying that to you" You say laughing, deciding to lay next him. The stars are slightly dimmed by the house's lights but still look mesmerizing. You wonder what good deed you did in your past life for this to happen, for a hot guy like Iwaizumi to approach you.

"I always found you interesting." You turn and give him a look of disbelief. He stammers, clearly seeing the error in his words.

"Interesting to look at?" You let out a laugh as his face reddens, he stubbornly groans.

"No, of course not. I just, liked looking at you."

"Iwaizumi," You laugh, his words making zero sense in your head, "What happened to the honest drunk truth?"

He huffs, almost like he's mad, cheeks still red.

"You would do anything for your friends, I could tell you were that type of person. You helped me with that stupid quiz even though I made you stay up until midnight to teach me stupid English. And you're so pretty," His rambling makes your stomach feel warm, your lips shake with how much he's noticed you. Your mouth is open in shock, you never thought anyone had noticed you, not in that way. Why would anyone notice you? You thought of yourself as plain, boring and awkward.

"My shitty friend from Japan told me to just get drunk and do it. But I really couldn't find the bravery to talk to you." Iwaizumi sits up and seems out of breath when he finishes. He's not looking at you, ears burning with embarrassment. God, he's shy and hot.

"Until now," you also sit up with him, eyes staring at him. You give a small smile and lay your hands on his, maybe this was the adrenaline feeling your friends were looking for when they did dumb things. This sudden boost of euphoria and excited nerves over a new experience, over a story for the future.

“Until now.” He gives a bashful smile, clearly expecting you to be disgusted with his 'drunk truth'. “And now I’m here.”

“You’re here, with me,” you say, both softly laughing. You feel Iwaizumi lay his head on your shoulder, however this time it feels heavier

"y/n?" His voice sounds so soothing, saying your name casually.

"Yeah?"

"I think I moved around too much and too fast," you know that face too well as Iwaizumi puts a hand to his mouth. "I'm gonna throw up," your eyes widen but you act on pure instinct and experience as bring the bucket just in time as he hurls. Your friends were messy drunks, not to say you didn't have your share of vomiting stories. You quickly turn to get a bottle of water.

"What happened to being a heavy weight?" You smile, rubbing his back, you can see how he frowns confused before widening his eyes.

"I meant," he chugs the water bottle, his frown slowing going away, "lifting heavy weights."

"Oh," you can't help but laugh as Iwaizumi gives you a soft smile before laughing with you.

You hear the loud knocks and groan loudly, your head heavy and legs glued to the bed. You somehow find the strength to walk to your door and open it.

You see Iwaizumi with a pair of glasses and two coffees. He's wearing sweatpants with the same hoodie from last night.

"I'm so sorry," you smile as you see his cheeks heat up in embarrassment. "I am so sorry you had to watch me puke, clean my face and drop my sleeping corpse to my room."

You laugh while taking a coffee as Iwaizumi leans on your doorframe, to hungover to fully use his legs.

"Yeah, you owe me big time, heavy weight." He tilts his head, giving a small glare over his new nickname, small smile still escaping through.

"Coffee isn't enough?"

"Ha! You wish," you take a sip and give a sigh of relief as you feel the warm drink energize every joint, muscle and bone in your body. "I expect a Japanese tutor now, at least."

"Done deal, also," he nervously rubs his neck, "I've got tickets for King Kong versus Godzilla, if you wanna come."

You scrunch your face, giving a deep thought.

"Well, I'll go since it's obvious that King Kong will win," you try to not laugh as Iwaizumi lowers his glasses, glaring at you. You feel you can read his mind as he's probably trying to remember every counter argument he can think of.

"Never mind, forget I even asked."

Notes: Did i write the 'helping iwaizumi with english' drabble but then decided to expand on this instead?? yes???? do i love the idea that iwaizumi is a late bloomer?? yes.yes.yes

however, I feel this fic hasn't achieved it's true potential (anyone get that reference?) so I'll probably do some minor editing here and there:)) I do that with all my fics tehehehe

#iwaizumi hajime #his arms #i dream DAILY of him #haikyuu #haikyuu!!#x reader #fanfic #fluff #post-time skip sorta?#I was so tempted to do 'and then you woke up'#for shits and giggles #but a mutual said that that's the worst idea ever #but it's kinda funny yaknow #kita coming soon promise

So I'm trying to write out some ideas for Dominion au scenes and I guess I'm questioning what kind of humor fits Dominator? She's definitely comically evil + mean spirited so there is dark humor galore (Plus with kid cosmic using death as a punchline, lmafo it makes for some dark opportunity),

but if.... sighes, If the writers really were trying to go for the "she doesn't belong in the show" anime-op-badass "sexy bully"(<<<gags I hate this approach i hate sexy bully) archetype, I have to wonder if she's conscious of herself in situations or not. In Q&A they say she loves riot grrl but she's also fine with using a guy persona to "mess with people"?? Mess with them how? Make them double take and awkwardly scramble to treat her differently? Or make them not judge her as a (gender) but as a badass foe first and foremost regardless, and being a woman is just the cherry on top? I have to wonder if her love for the riot grrl genre includes the fundamental girl empowerment (proud to be a girl), or the "don't judge me just because I am a girl! I belong here too!" aspect. Is her perspective that she is proud to be a badass woman, or does she feel she's a badass who happens to be woman therefore women must be great? She seems to use whatever tools she has at her disposal, but also has a comedic self care routine of fluffy towels and pink guest bathrooms. So she's all out evil villain, but also has sensitivities and seemingly personal boundaries with "me-time" which doesn't read entirely as the all out off the wall destroyer, but a quirky lethal evil conqueror. It matters because like, would she be a "sexy" bully that has personal boundaries over her body, or is it all in, make the others squirm and yelp? Is she vulgar and unhinged? or does she have some kind of pride that would prevent her from "degrading" her self in her view by flirting with people she sees as losers? We have characters that have a sense of pride or a sense of boundary, which can make for good kind spirited humor too, but if Dominator really doesn't belong, it's hard to discern just how far her actions would go. basically it's one of the two: A) she embodies the "intensely evil little girl" all grown up into a fearsome villainess, playing godzilla with living toys. This is within the same vein to Hater's "spoiled brat emo prince" all grown up into a manchild rockstar tyrant personality. This means she would have some personal boundaries and sense of pride, meaning she would toy with others (flirting, teasing) but not be intensely vulgar. Fits the setting of WoY pretty well, though? Is... being pretty and mean enough to be a sexy bully archetype? Ugh Man, I hate this trope lmao. It feels gross. B) She embodies the "evil no matter what" and just happens to be a woman. she relishes in bullying others and making them squirm, wanting to destroy everything in her path. She's super unhinged and even self-destructive if not careful. No sense of sympathy for others, she just. wants. to. destroy. those puny little faces. (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops. This means she would be very vulgar, and not care what people think about her or her body because of course she's already perfect, she's HER. This to me reads as more so the sexy bully archetype, but ignores some semblance of her softer sides like her "...friend?" moments with Sylvia or her funny reactions to things like "what? Ew--no." which imply personal boundaries. I'm writing a whole damn essay about this because I don't want to make her too vulgar if it's ooc. But... it's seriously hard to understand what the hell the writers even meant by "sexy bully" because is that just a hot mean girl? Or a get under your skin and twist the knife just "to break your heart and watch you cry" kinda thing??? HOW FAR DOES IT GO, idk idk. Frankly I wish canon Dominator was not fanservice sultry and only sporadically "maniac pixie nightmare girl" like the VA's videos implied, because that stuff was hysterically fitting for WoY. Unhinged and unfitting of the WoY universe, but in a light goofy turning instantly heavy and dark humored way.

#dominion au #woy #this is not pg due to the weird archetype mentioned #at the same time it's funny to play with expectations so like? is dominator dedicated to the bit???#would she do completely unhinged things just for a laugh or is there a limit to the meaness?#i can definitely see dom rubbing it in hater's face that peepers is her minion now #but how far would she go to mess with hater?#she's on a vengeance streak so would she dig the knife deep as possible or would she think it beneath her to stick to a bit just to torture #lord hater? Idk this is hard to figure out lmao #i don't want to make a woy character too vulgar if its too ooc #bc even wander making those jokes in the big day did not sit right with me #felt awkward and more like writters placing the joke than wander being in on it #bc wander is pretty smart so his awkward phrasing is on purpose and good humor #but when it gets MUCH too suggestive its just. odd. doesn't feel like it fits his character.#it feels ooc and out of place for woy #but dominator is supposed to be “out of place” for woy so???? augh lmao #help........... sobs
