#I love this goddamn show (derogatory)

[elvisabutler]

rode hard and put away wet

summary: relationships are about give and take. as much as elvis gives, he has to take nearly as much. you let him. fandom: austin butler | elvis ( 2022 ) rating: m pairing: austin elvis x reader word count: 1420 warnings: degradation kink. actions that can be seen in a s.a. tint. oral ( m ). use of the derogatory names ( slut and whore ). use of the phrase "poor white trash" to describe elvis. hair pulling, holy shit hair pulling. face fucking-ish. i think that's it? i might have missed something. author's note: i am not good at writing degradation kink by itself. i like reading it especially for certain characters/people/fics, but i have learned with this that i am not the best at it. in addition to that knowledge, i do not condone kinks like this getting sprung on people even if they're together and in love and care for one another. so this is version four, maybe five of this, if i didn't post this version y'all were not going to get a degradation kink blurb out of me. if any of y'all want to know the versions i cycled through i'll tell you but they went from something that had military kink attached to it to something that veered way too close to sa for liking, so you understand how hard this was for me to actually write. sorry if it's not my best. also feel free to read this as actual elvis.

It starts in the 50s, you're both young and you both fancy yourself in love with one another. The Colonel had tried to get you out of the picture the second he had met you filling Elvis's head with whispers of people not paying for his records if they knew he had a girl. Your counter is simply pointing out multiple artists who seem to make a perfectly respectable living despite being married. You point to actors who have significant others who are doing perfectly well. You win that argument. It starts in the 50s and you two are in love with each other, you two learn each other's bodies like the back of your hand and Elvis whispers promises to get you a ring and having you as his wife soon. Once you're all settled in Graceland he'll buy you that ring and you'll get married and he'll give you a baby because that's what you're supposed to do when you love someone. It starts in the 50s and Elvis gets himself in trouble with his dancing that you've loved from the second you laid eyes on him. He's in trouble and the Colonel being the idiot that he is books him on the Steve Allen show and there's a real life hound dog and Elvis is angrier than you've ever seen him and Scotty and Bill have already left leaving just you and Elvis and that stupid suit.

"Baby it's not-" You start before Elvis grabs your face, forcing you to look at him.

"It's an embarrassment is what it was. Got me dressed like a butler singin' to a dog. I-I- you don't you probably think I'm some poor white-" He cuts you off with such force you almost jump, you know he won't hurt you but you also know that all the Presleys have tempers.

"Elvis!" You shout, grabbing ahold of his wrists before you look at him dead in the eyes. "What- I don't think that, you know I don't you know I think you're the sweetest-"

"I don't want you to think I'm sweet-like you can walk all over me like they just did." He pauses his chest heaving. "Get on your knees."

Your eyebrows raise up and you shake your head. "Where- we're in public, E."

"I'm not asking you twice, mama. On your goddamn knees." His hand moves to your hair and you feel his fingers curl around the strands before he pulls just slightly. You fall to your knees pretty quickly.

Elvis doesn't waste a moment before undoing his pants, pulling them and his underwear down as best as he could exposing his surprisingly hard cock. You eye it and then look up at Elvis, questioning what exactly your boyfriend is trying to do before you actually voice his name. "Elvis?"

"Gonna take my cock like the slut you are, like the whore you are when we're at home, aren't you? Gonna let all of them know I've had this mouth when we're not even married. That I've already used you and if I wanted I could leave you a ruined woman."

Never in your life have you let anyone talk to you like that, let alone the man you're in love with. The man you plan on spending your life with but there's something in his eyes, there's a glint in his eyes that sends the words straight into your brain where they do something to you. They send a jolt of arousal through you so fast and sudden you shudder with the force of it. Elvis's eyes widen just a bit before he smirks.

"You like me talking to you like that. You fucking city girls, should have known. Take my cock, shove it between those pretty lips before I do it for you."

You tilt your head just slightly. "I don't think your poor white trash self could get it in on the first try anyway."

Before Elvis has a chance to respond or pull your hair to force your mouth on his cock you're taking him in your mouth, relaxing your throat to attempt to deep throat him. His hand tightens in your hair as he tries to control the movement of your mouth. He wants to use you as hole, something to be around his cock and bring him off. You find that it's not something you mind, though you'd prefer to be more of an active participant in this. So your hand moves to cover his and every time he tries to pull you off of him, you push yourself back on. Your eyes are watering as you try to breathe while focusing on everything else including the filth you hear coming out of Elvis's mouth.

"Think you're all that like everyone else. Think you can control me, thinkin' ya know what's best for me. Ain't none of you making money like I am. Got ya a pretty house, gonna get you a pretty ring, gonna give ya everything you want and ya still want more." His grip tightens once again and the sting on your scalp has tears actually coming from your eyes and Elvis laughs.

"Aw, the pretty girl can't take my cock? Can't take me pulling her hair? Ain't so high and mighty now. Just a slut for my cock."

You nod even with his cock still in your mouth and your hand moves to touch yourself before his foot nudges your knee.

"No. You're such a slut- such a whore you're gonna come when I say without touchin' yourself. Ya take orders so well."

He's not wrong, you do take orders well and you feel like you might come without touching yourself but you had wanted to feel your fingers inside your cunt while he practically face fucked you. You wanted him to be forced to watch you take pleasure in an act you think he's doing just to blow off steam because he's never been like this even when he loses his temper. His voice above you is starting to slur, and his words that he's mumbling are starting to turn to straight nonsense. You know he enjoys the slight bite of your teeth sometimes and so you shift your lips just enough so that when he moves your head off there's a bite of your teeth sliding against his cock. It works from the way his hips stutter and you feel the warmth of his come flooding your mouth, practically choking you before you're slapping Elvis's thigh in an attempt to get him to let you spit out his come before he shakes his head.

"Be a good little whore and swallow my come, baby. Then you can come."

That does it for you, you're swallowing, traces coming out of your mouth anyway just from how you had started to cough around his cock but you feel your eyes roll in the back of your head and your toes curl and your cunt clench around nothing as you come. Elvis's grip on your hair loosens and he finally allows you to pull completely off his cock as you cough and practically fall to the floor, breathing heavily as you do. You glare at him through your eyelashes.

"Elvis Aaron Presley-"

"I'm- Sorry darlin'- I just- I-I everyone's just been pullin' me everywhere and ya heard Scotty and I needed-" He tries explaining his actions before you wave him off.

"If you- If you ever need me to do that again, I- I'm not going to say I'll enjoy it every day or more often than once in a blue moon, but- tell me next time. Warn me?"

"You mean it, baby? I didn't hurt you did I? You really liked it?" He sounds hopeful, like he's going to file this away for those times when he's wound tighter than fully coiled spring.

"I liked it. A little." A pause and you're moving to sit up properly. "Now help me up like a gentleman. Or did you forget how to be like that?"

His bashful grin as he holds out his hand tells you your answer before he actually says anything. "No, ma'am. Not at all, mama."

If he remembers what you said this day every time things don't go his way- every time he decides throwing a tantrum is a good idea. Well, it did all start in the 50s, you just realized letting it happen in the 60s and the 70s wasn't the worst thing that could happen.

prologue masterlist

“Hoyt slow down!” Arlen grabs the dashboard as the vehicle rounds a sharp curve too fast. “You good? Where’s your head at?”

“Nowhere. I’m all good.”

“All good my ass. You’re still a bad liar, Hoyt, can’t help noticing you white-knuckling that wheel over there. You know I’m here to listen if you want to talk about whatever it is between you and this Rihanna...”

“Her name is Reina and I told you there’s nothing to talk about.” He gives her a look. “Jesus, Beau, you're like a dog with a goddamn bone. Drop it!” The blonde snaps at the handsome man in her passenger seat making him laugh. “Not the first time I've been told that. Okay, I’ll let it go for now. But the offer stands.” Arlen changes the subject yammerin on about his latest video chat with his daughter, reminding Hoyt of their first meeting.

***

Hoyt walked into the Sheriff’s Department already put out before meeting Walter Tubbs' temporary replacement and Cassie’s warning that Arlen was very Texan proved true. Not to mention the man was a never-ending chatterbox. Eventually, as she constantly reminded everyone, the temporary acting sheriff allowed some of that veneer to peel back, exposing a little of the man underneath.

A man who loved too hard and had too many ghosts clinging to him, something Jenny Hoyt was way too familiar with. Her feelings shifted after a few months of working together and she began contemplating what a relationship with the transplanted Texan would be like.

Then things went sideways when Cassie was hired to find a missing hiker.

Her inquiries led to a glamping excursion run by Sunny and Buck Barnes, where coincidentally Arlen's daughter Emily and her stepfather were staying. The case also reopens a decades old unsolved murder and the discovery of fifteen million in stolen Crypto. They all became intertwined revealing Buck as a serial killer who kidnapped Emily and Denise and ended with his, and several others, deaths.

Arlen paid a surprise visit to Hoyt's home in a quandary the night after their rescue tells her that his ex-wife Carla had taken their daughter back to Texas leaving him unsure about staying in Montana. After a few beers, things started getting close to crossing the professional/private line between them. He left saying neither was clear-headed enough to make any rational decisions that would change them from colleagues and occasional confidants.

A week later, Arlen was served court papers stating that he’d allowed their daughter to remain in a place of known danger and Carla was granted primary custody with all communication between them monitored by a court-appointed third party.

Arlen had what Cassie calls his tantrum then sought legal counsel from a lawyer he knew back in Houston. The lawyer advised with his checkered history in law enforcement and at home, to follow the stipulations to the letter if he hoped for a chance in hell of regaining his parental rights before Emily turned eighteen.

***

Arlen felt Hoyt’s skeptical side-eye before she asked. “So how much did Denise tell you?”

“That Reina is the black sheep for not going into family business. And something about the Stanleys being descendants of the Four Georgies?”

“The Four Georgians,” she corrected, pulling into the Jefferson City First National Bank’s Park lot. “In 1864, four prospectors found gold in Last Chance Gulch and agreed to keep it quiet. But a few months later, more miners started arriving.” She finished summarizing Helena’s origins as they entered the bank and were assailed by a harassed-looking bank manager.

Several hours later

Lewis & Clark County Sheriff's Department

Sergeant Madge Crowder greeted the returning duo with, “Got a visitor, sheriff.”

Arlen gestures around the empty waiting area, “There's no one out here,” and she comments, “Was a minute ago.” Before he could ask, Deputy Mo Poppernack popped up nervously glancing between Hoyt and Arlen. “Everything okay, Popcorn? You seem kinda,” Arlen says waving his hand.

“No sir, I mean yes sir...Beau, I’m good. Someone is waiting in your office to see you.” Still eyeing the fidgety deputy, Arlen addresses both, “Let me know if we get anything on the getaway car,” and heads off to meet his mystery guest.

***

Entering his office, Arlen spies the Stetson from that morning sitting upside down on his desk.

“Hello, I’m Sheriff Arlen. What can I,” and something that rarely happens happens when its owner turns, and Arlen loses his voice. The partially open blinds cast his visitor in light and shadow as his chartreuse eyes drink in every accentuated detail, bone structure hinting of being descended from the indigenous peoples but other ancestries contributing to the lighter hueing of skin, eyes, and hair.

“You must be the infamous Reina Stanley.”

“I see my reputation proceeds me,” her voice has the distinctive native Montanan drawl held out her hand, "I would appreciate it if we could keep this matter between us for now Sheriff.” Arlen shakes the offered hand surprised at the firmness of her grip.

“Call me Beau. Please,” he gestures for her to sit as he settles into his chair, “I assume this has to do with earlier?” She raises an eyebrow and he elaborates. “A friend and I caught some of that public performance this morning and said they thought it was you.” An amused smile graces her lush lips reminding him of pink beautyberry fruit.

“I see Denise Brisbane is still the town gossip.” Arlen chuckled, “She does have her ear to the ground. Denise didn’t go into details but mentioned your family has substantial influence in this state.”

“You’re mama brought you up right. Most people aren’t so polite about saying the Stanleys are not to be fucked with.” Arlen couldn’t stop the flash of surprise crossing his features. “Okay then. I'm guessing your visit has something to do with that brouhaha this morning?”

“Yes and no. I’m here on behalf of lala; my grandfather, who requested I give you this,” she handed him a sealed envelope. “I don’t recall meeting any of your kin.” Arlen remarks pulling out a letter with a small key taped to it reads it out loud. “I had a safety deposit box put in your name Beau Arlen and ask you to take my granddaughter with you when examining its contents. You will understand why I had to take these precautions and do what is necessary with the information enclosed. Gerald Centanwakuwa-Stanley” He looked up in surprise.

“Hold on, Gerald was your grandfather? The same Gerald I’d go trout fishing with?”

“Walter Tubb’s said you were quick on the uptake. Lala Gerald chose to use his given name outside of business.” The sheriff tipped his head. “Right, you're a transplant. The Stanley descendent who settled here left a will stipulating that all direct descendants maintain the family surname to keep their inheritance, including any man marrying in.” Reina paused scrutinizing him giving Arlen a fluttering he hadn't felt in years.

“Tubb also said you have a set of huevos for taking the job even after getting an earful about the undersheriff.” Arlen chuckled, “Yeah, Tubb had a few things to say about Hoyt. But she knows to stay between the lines, I’ll have her back.”

“Jenny Hoyt doesn’t know the meaning of staying between the lines. Excuse me,” she fishes out her phone and frowns, “Fuc...fraken lawyers, ‘cuse my language. When will you be free to check out that box?” There was a knock on the door and Poppernack stuck his head in. “Sorry to interrupt sir. We got a call that the First National getaway cars been spotted headin' down I-15.”

“And that's my cue to leave.” Reina gestures to his phone, "May I?” Arlen nodded, “I’m leaving you my personal number,” she hands it back, “Text me when you’re free to deal with that matter for lala.”

Several officers, along with Arlen and Poppernack, appreciatively watch her retreating form. “Please tell me all female Rangers as good looking as her?” Poppernack asks, “‘Cause if they are, I’m booking my next vacation in Texas.” Arlen turns and says...

“I’m sorry..she’s a what?!”

Ranking (bullying) LD Curtain's season 2 fashion choices

Because even if the show seems to have forgiven him, I sure haven’t. 

DISCLAIMER: This is in NO WAY criticizing the costume designers of this show- it couldn’t be farther from that. They’ve done an amazing job with every single piece in the show, and all of these fit Curtain’s personality and aesthetic perfectly. This is just me mocking the in-universe fashion choices that the character makes, because he needs to be bullied more. All lighthearted, all in good fun.

Disclaimer #2: I know literally nothing about fashion, please don’t attack me. 

Okay, from least heinous to most heinous, here we go! 

First up:

As much as it pains me to admit this. I actually. Really like this one. (”And if you told me I would never say something like that, well, I would never say something like that, but here we are.”) I think the silhouette is interesting, and all of the pieces come together well. Plus, in some of the tighter shots you can see that the fabric texture and detailing is really cool:

The leaves as clasps and that crinkly texture kind of really slap, and I really love the way the collar sort of wraps into the placket.

8 / 10

Interview outfit:

Wow, look! Another one that doesn't inspire immediate feelings of rage! We're doing so well.

This one isn't as visually interesting as the first outfit, but I do sort of like it. The collar folds create kind of a cool shape, and the grey accents under the top is a nice little contrast. I don't know how I feel about the zipper right below the collar, it's kind of a weird choice and might look better if it wasn't so visible, but I'll let it slide for this one since we have a much more heinous zipper situation coming up later.

I like the contrasting shades of blue with the button up shirt, and the lavender shirt he wears under it later in the episode, and the fact that part of the collar can kind of fold down to make a different shape.

6 / 10

Clown sleeves:

So the sleeves on this one are. kind of a lot. But they gain a couple of points for being the only thing in this outfit that really pops. They're sort of weird, but I can see the appeal of them standing out against the black vest, and being a pretty nice contrast that draws the eye.

5 / 10

Meh:

Time for the part of the post where I include 6 outfits that I just kind of don't have strong opinions on, mainly because they feel like pretty standard, decent outfits with no real reason to bat an eye at them.

The last image is saved on my computer as "are those your pajamas?" but. acceptable.

sure / 10

Dancy dance:

🧍‍♂️

I don't have much to say about this one other than, for some reason, the visual of him wearing tennis shoes makes me viscerally uncomfortable.

🤡 / 10

Elizabeth Holmes Chic:

He looks like a kid playing dress-up in their dad's giant overcoat, except someone let him go outside looking like this. I know oversized clothing items can be fashionable but here he's like drowning in it.

And then when he takes the coat off:

This maybe wouldn’t be a terrible outfit, it’s just so goddamn pretentious. He seems like he's trying to look like Steve Jobs, but ended up looking more like Elizabeth Holmes.

about to start another pyramid scheme / 10

Vacation dad (derogatory):

On someone else I might like this outfit, but on him it just looks so dumb. He looks like he's about to go skydiving with how much he's buttoned up. Better watch out or he could get carried away and spend 20 minutes unstrapping and unbuttoning it to reveal his fun little vacation shirt underneath! It's somehow stupidly formal and stupidly casual at the same time, and I just think it's a very silly little outfit. He's joining the army as penance for his fashion crimes. If you ask very very nicely he might tell you what's in his four huge, weirdly-placed pockets.

what's in the pockets / 10

And now.

We've arrived. We're finally here. The last one. The moment we've all been waiting for.

The worst of the worst:

I'll be honest, I don't really know where to start this one. There are too many things to choose from. Do I start with the weird asymmetrical pattern on the sleeves, with the red and blue stripes that aren't even made up of the same type of pattern?

Or maybe the fact that the buttons (and the piece of fabric they're attached to) ends too high above the neckline of the top layer?

Or we could talk about the fact that the top layer looks like one of those smocks you'd wear to get an x-ray at the dentist, made in a fabric that must have been rescued from the back of a fabric store after 50 years of not being bought.

I think by far the worst part is the length:

The fact that those strange little smock flaps go almost a foot past the zipper, halfway down to his knees. It swallows like 2/3rds of his body in this horrible block of grey fabric, and this man has the audacity to carry himself like it’s fashionable, instead of an assault on the senses. 

I want to set it on fire. I want to burn him along with it. I want to gently take his tailor aside and ask if Curtain held him at knife point and made him design this monstrosity. TEAR IT TO PIECES, GET IT OUT OF MY SIGHT, TURN IT INTO SCRAPS FOR SQ'S ART PROJECTS.

Anyway.

This outfit is such a menace to this world that I thought everyone should get a chance to tear it to shreds, so presenting, the communal roast:

“GROSS. SHUN.” -@mvshortcut

"prison chic. dentist x-ray chic. ugly." -@mysteriouseggsbenedict 

“the terrible zip up vest that just keeps on going fucked a potato sack” -@bi-demon-ium

“runway model for the most pretentious fashion designer who ever lived” - @sqenthusiast

“Trying to be casual but also Better Than You. The definition of 'you really thought you did something there'” -@echo-delta

“Child with one of those books where you can draw clothes over top the shape of a person” -@mysteriouseggsbenedict 

“Mr Curtain sir I don’t feel very happy looking at this. I think it’s a little counterproductive.” -@mvshortcut

Truly horrendous.

borrowing constance's acid to destroy the outfit and then clean the eyes of anyone who wants to forget they saw this monstrosity / 10

Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me, and as always, send the x-ray bib to hell.

#the mysterious benedict society #mbs disney #mbs #mysterious benedict society #ld curtain #this post has been in the works for a WHILE so I hope people enjoy it #we don't need to talk about how long it took me #this post really just devolves as it goes on #a portrait of me losing my mind #i could also scream about how much i love the costume design of other characters on this show #but this was the funnier option #on any other characters i would be complimenting them for their bold fashion choices (except for maybe the last one) #ledroptha curtain

Luke Petrus was having a really bad day.

- sara / @justplainwhump , because I love to hate the man

CW: BBU, handler being an asshole, referenced beating/noncon, derogatory language

(Micheal belongs to @card-games-and-pain)

-

Luke Petrus was having a really, really bad day. Bad week, if he was honest. And the goddamn culmination was in being called up like some dumbass kid to the principal's office.

Karen Renford didn't stand up when he entered, even though she had been the one to tell her receptionist to send him in. She barely looked at him, too busy sipping from a delicately shaped ceramic mug while dictating some sort of memo to her stupid fucking assistant, Micheal.

He didn't dare cross his arms, or sigh, or do anything to show Karen frustration. Any emotion she could pick at, in a bad mood herself the past few weeks since everything went wrong, would just be weakness. He'd worked for her way too long to give himself up like that. Now she was the CEO and held all of their lives in her hand.

No, all he did was stand, and look out the high windows that lined her new office, and wait. Like a good boy. Like a fucking pet.

The whole thing was bullshit to begin with.

All he did was put one of the dumber, more obstinate trainees he'd been working with in the clinic with a couple broken bones and not even that serious of a concussion.

A few years ago, WRU wouldn't have batted an eye beyond maybe a wag of the finger or a slap on the wrist. But ever since that bullshit press conference where one of Luke's own past trainees had run his whore mouth on global television and another - one of Everly's old jobs, apparently - had talked about abduction and the way the Acquisition team's secret work operated... Now it all had to be careful. Above-board or kept deep below ground.

Luke had been pissed about all of it.

Then he slept through his alarm and was late to work.

Then the trainee had mouthed off to him just a little too much. Now, here he stood.

One damn trainee in the clinic, one fucking maintenance pet beat to shit for trying to interfere and stop him, and here he stood.

Waiting for discipline.

Like he's one of them.

If he ever saw that little trainee again, the one that went to the governor, he'd break every goddamn bone in the little whore's body.

Karen finished her memo, and finally... finally... Turned to look at him. Her face was carefully expressionless.

But just behind her, Luke Petrus saw her assistant, in his perfectly tailored suit and soft leather collar, smile at him. Arrogant little shit.

Maybe he'll get the chance to bash Micheal's head in too one day.

Bad days didn't used to be this bad.

Now they only seem to get worse.

[n3onguts]

pride and prejudice (02): niceties and pleasantries.

summary — in recent years, scientists found that the neurological line between the emotions of love and hate is much thinner than previously thought. beomgyu’s about to discover just how right they are.

genre&tags — written chapter, 1k+ words, angst-ish (?), tsuki the band makes their first appearance, soobin has a fat crush on kai (nothing new...), y/n and the park twins are assholes

warning(s) — swearing, alcohol consumption

a/n — tbh soobin’s probably soliloquized ab kai the way he does in this irl. also this incorporates the derogatory use of the term “bitch” towards a woman by a man which i do not condone however i think it’s important to consider each character’s perspective. other than that, enjoy!

She’d be cute if she wasn’t so goddamned rude — that’s Beomgyu’s first thought about you. His second thought is about how unfortunate that is. What a waste.

Jump back to 20 minutes ago at the Bulldog, before you’d entered his life and right after Yeonjun’s just demolished that last E-minor chord to cap off their performance. Sat on his makeshift throne at the back of the speakeasy’s rickety, pocket-sized stage, Beomgyu’s hands go limp around his drumsticks. Sweat-streaked and heart-flying, he’s got that addictive blend of applause-induced euphoria and post-show adrenaline running through his bloodstream all over again. The house lights are burning his retinas so that the audience is reduced to a blinding mass of indistinct bodies, and when he looks over to his bandmates (Yeonjun first, then Yeji, then Kai), he can’t help but grin at how they’re sure as shit going through the same manic high that he is right now, all flushed and glowing, as invincible as the gods themselves. Especially Kai — who’s beaming like he was born for this. And he probably was, Beomgyu thinks to himself, with that honey-coated voice of his that only knew how to sing of aching hearts: a mesmerizing contradiction if there ever was one. Beomgyu doesn’t care about winning anymore (and he never really did, in the first place), because in this nanosecond of time, they’re undefeated.

When he descends from the platform, his once-white towel slung over his shoulder, it’s a little past midnight and his ecstasy’s rolled over to let the inevitable fatigue kick in. Almost instantaneously, Beomgyu’s flooded by a raucous mob of well-wishers and the humidity emanating from the crowd overwhelms him. He’s grateful — truly, he is — but he concludes that he could definitely use a swig from whatever hard drink the Bulldog has in stock and trudges through the horde of people, churning out thank you’s in all directions.

He surveys the mellowed-out scene at the bar, squints when he spots Kai and his signature fluff of caramel-colored hair huddled in conversation with an unknown foursome a few steps away. He’s enjoying himself, it seems, from the way he throws his head back, unrestrained like sunshine, when he laughs. There’s an embarrassed grin permanently etched on Kai’s face as he speaks to the tallest of the group — this lanky, dimpled dude who’s nursing a beer in one hand and gesticulating wildly with the other. The moment’s broken, however, when Kai catches Beomgyu’s curious eyes and waves him over. The elder boy follows, greeting Kai upon arrival with a breezy hey, Hueningie! and sending easy smiles to the four strangers.

“Beomgyu-hyung, meet my new friends — Soobin, his sister, Y/N, and the Park twins, Wonyoung and Sunghoon.” Kai says, commencing introductions. “They go to UofS too and, get this, Y/N’s majoring in film, just like you!”

Across from him, the red-cheeked Soobin offers Beomgyu his hand first and refuses to let go as he rambles on, “Hey, man! Big fan. I actually hadn’t heard of Tsuki before tonight, but you guys were in-fucking-sane, like, deadass, I’ve never been moved like that by music. Not even kidding, I almost cried when you guys were playing that one song — ‘I Know I Love You’, I think? — ‘cause, I mean, just, y’know, Kai’s voice, like, c’mon.”

Soobin’s eyes are locked on Kai’s, shiny and glinting as he drowns the latter with stuttered compliments. This kind of attention is nothing novel to Kai, who’s had girls and guys alike turn soft at his finely-cut face and warm exterior, yet for this dorky kid, Beomgyu observes, his friend’s become all dopey and giggling. The air’s buzzing with a palpable inkling of something and Beomgyu swallows down his suspicions with a knowing smirk.

Stuck in their own little world, Beomgyu leaves the pair alone and scans the three that were camouflaged earlier by the flickering lights of the bar. Next to Soobin, clustered and cliquish as they sit idly atop the barstools, are the twins. Both sporting bored expressions, both tap-tap-tapping away at their phones. The chick is glossy, the guy is sleek, and the tableau of them together — looking like they’ve just lept right off the pages of one of those glitzy fashion magazines — clashes with the seedy interiors of the Bulldog. Beomgyu waits for a millennium and more, yet neither acknowledges his existence. Then, miffed, his gaze finally lands on you, leaned against the concrete counter. You swish the contents of your red cup around in a hypnotic circle, notice his stare. And when you return it, face him through the dingy blue glow of the night, Beomgyu is unnerved by the sight that greets him: a girl, intimidatingly stone-faced and utterly, frustratingly out-of-his-league.

“Y/N, right?” He slides it out, all casual, and it earns him a short, curt nod. “You’re a film major at UofS too, huh? My condolences then if you’ve ever spoken to Professor Ahn one-on-one — his coffee breath has been smelling like literal ass ever since he got tenure.”

“Funny.” You deadpan, voice dripping with sarcasm.

It takes him by surprise, your iciness, but he’s undeterred regardless. Extroversion is inherent to his nature. Strangers are just friends you haven’t made yet — or however that cheesy saying goes, right? “So. Did you enjoy the show?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Did you like Tsuki’s set?”

“Yup.”

“Kai’s got a sick voice, doesn’t he?”

“Totally.”

And then, cocky and playful like it’s no big deal: “And that drummer’s pretty cool too, right?”

At this, you pause, halt to make a face like you’re mulling it over. “Debatable.” You finally spit out, facade-unimpressed. The message is undeniably clear — and it’s one that’s meant to cut.

Silence permeates the air between you two. What the hell is your problem? Beomgyu wonders. Acting all high and mighty for no fucking reason. Whatever heart-thumping attraction he’d felt initially had metamorphosed into animosity almost as rapidly as it had begun. He’s trying his very best with you, waiting for you to throw him some kind of lifeline, but you’re offering little niceties and even less pleasantries. It’s crueler than ignoring him, if anything. He’s now desperate to check the fuck out of this sad conversation and order some sweet relief in the form of a vodka shot. It’ll sting a lot — like you do — but at least it’ll go down way smoother and much easier.

“Well… It was nice to meet you.” A lie, undoubtedly. “I’m gonna head off, look for my other bandmates.” He doesn’t bother to wait for your response, just mumbles some half-hearted excuse to Kai and rushes away, thinking, heatedly, what a bitch.

Ahhhh waves shyly at the gang and takes breath well!

What if Oscar sees Jack looking at davey like he's hung the sun moon and stars and he gets angry. He gets livid. Because how dare he flaunt his affection like that. He doesn't much care what happens to Kelly the dude had been unpleasant to them. But his open fondness for another man was dangerous for the david fellow who for the most part had been decent to them for his ragtag bunch of misfits who could be targeted but most importantly and Oscar's concern was that morris would see and think that it would be okay for him to find someone. He absolutely couldn't. Oscar couldn't wouldn't sacrifice Morris..... even if that unfortunately meant Morris's happiness must be sacrificed. It was for the greater good.

Oscar wanted the best for Morris they already were destined for a poor life he didn't want Morris's life to be any harder than it already would be. Oscar has half a mind to threaten Kelly make him stop being so nauseously in love. He wanted Morris to have good things...but in the times they lived in it just wasn't probable, and he didn't want Morris to hope,to try and attain that when it would only get him hurt or worse. He had to keep Morris safe. It was the only option.

(psst don’t worry, the gang is very nice. plus my ask box is basically just show and tell at this point, you can bring anything you like in here for me and everyone else to applaud.)

that being said, [SCREAMS]

ouhhh this is so so so good, this is the EXACT oscar and morris dynamic i live off of, and putting them opposite javid is Everything. oscar already hates jack kelly so much - he’s so bold and loud and full of bravado, operates like nothing matters to him, rattles his cage like he doesn’t care at all about who else is in there with him, meanwhile oscar has to sit stock still in his own because morris is in there with him and he’d sooner die than let morris get hurt again. he’s already been hurt so much.

and now here jack goddamn kelly is, once again, leaning on railings and flirting loudly and grinning like an idiot whenever davey jacobs’ eyes are on him. and davey is grinning back. they lean too close to each other as they talk, and stand close enough that their shoulders are always bumping, and when they talk about their plans for the day it’s always the two of them together. they sell together, have lunch together, stand in the damn line at sales together. and, when they think nobody’s looking, the brush hands and tap their foreheads together and smile, this private quiet little thing just for the two of them, and oscar wants them dead. gone, at least. a thousand miles away from where morris could see that and want it for himself. because morris can’t have it for himself - he can’t have a jack kelly who’ll operate with such bravado that most anyone won’t ever question him, and the few that do will be met with the fight to back it all up.

oscar threatens jack and jack doesn’t care, says it’d take nothing short of death to make him stop loving davey - and oscar thinks he’s full of shit. but then he sees jack and davey again in the street, sees jack soaking someone who said something derogatory or went for davey. oscar’s forced to rationalise that morris could be loved by someone, someone who wanted to protect him just like oscar does, but that’d mean trusting someone and oscar can’t do that. morris can, with time and the bare minimum of kindness, but that’s half the problem. if oscar trusted someone, morris loved someone, who then hurt morris? oscar’d never forgive himself. never forgive anyone. it’d be the last straw on the large pile of straws that’s been oscar and morris’ whole life.

with your blessing, i would absolutely looooove to write this as a fic :’)

[my-boy-squiggle-roy]

hello my fucked-up lovelies. here’s my pre-watch masterpost of osmosis knowledge so you have the most entertaining comprehension of my Live Cyrus Reaction 🫡

what the fuck is a succession

so like there’s The Roy’s and they’re Business People (the children by force probably) and their dad is the Main Bitch of the company who is inevitably gonna go six feet under (in light of… recent events HSHDJDJ) and so the siblings are fighting for their goddamn lives to be his Successor. I Think. and the whole family dynamic is super fucked and manipulative and their father is abusive as hell and the siblings know deep down that all they have is each other in the face of this asshole who has pinned their lives against one another for the sake of his own. probably. idk i’ve treaded into speculation so back on track. business family. there’s gonna be a successor. that’s all i really know plot-wise

Characters

these are the bitches i know exist by name. if there’s a main character on here i didn’t list, it’s because i do not know them as part of The Crew yet. here’s what i know about them.

Kendall Roy

not beating the bojack horseman allegations (almost killed himself in a pool and has substance abuse issues i think)

his boy squiggle cooked up some sick beats

i think he might be the oldest of the siblings?

he’s just Ken (i think he goes by Ken mostly and not Kendall)

seems exhausted as hell and on his last thread

Shiv Roy

uh hi for the love of god hello twirls hair around finger

probably gaslights gatekeeps girlbosses

like i don’t really keep up with taylor swift but i feel like there’s a lot of edits of her to The Man

married to some guy

i feel like i vaguely remember hearing that her sex life sucked with some guy

very clean cut no bullshit type of person and like she probably has to try twice as hard as her brothers for recognition but idk maybe logan believes in equality and hates them just as much

Roman Roy

sent a dick pic to his dad during a business meeting

am i imagining him being called a pathetic little worm for subconscious personal reasons or did that happen

says the most out of pocket shit in the whole show i think

is regularly called derogatory gay terms (of course by myself but also the actual characters i think)

has hella sexual trauma

was physically abused by logan

girl. the inferiority complex in this mf.

just a complete little shit

Logan Roy

primary source of trauma

just your typical like. old white man capitalistic bitch but there’s no charisma or anything he’s just There

well. he was there.

Tom

apparently he is that Some Guy that shiv married i genuinely only knew him as some weird abusive homosexual counterpart to greg until a few days ago

that’s literally all i’ve got

oh he also works at The Business

Greg

i literally have no clue what this man’s deal is but i’m so intrigued by his expressions he looks like an italian greyhound

he’s really fucking tall so scenes with him and other people in it have to be shot a certain way which is so fucking funny

he comes as an accessory with tom idk

can say with a decent amount of confidence that i don’t think he’s a super bright character intelligence-wise

also works at The Business

Connor (Roy?)

cousin to the siblings

he’s like overlooked a shit ton by logan bc he’s not like. a Real Roy i don’t fucking know

apparently got married recently. good for him. (unless a certain event uh interrupted the completion of that marriage)

i don’t think i know anything else whatsoever

Gerri

i’ve been told she exists

alright! now you’ve obtained my succession headspace and are set to laugh at my naïveté. go forth 🫡

[sinematically]

🪄thoughts on Dr Strange: Multiverse of Madness🪄 long post and will contain spoilers under the read more

Disclaimer: I enjoyed the movie but this somewhat review will contain some major criticisms.

When Martin Scorsese said MCU films aren’t real cinema, and the MCU fans consume films like one would enjoy a theme park. I don’t think he’s wrong but I don’t fully agree with him either, but, MoM is the best example (if there was any). I’m not sure how to properly put this into words. I’ll give it a few days to see if I can do this thought justice. But know that I genuinely think MoM is the best example for this opinion.

Goddamn that plot was MESSY. Three act structure whomst???? (Extremely derogatory). My film studies teacher would have destroyed that script, gave it a D- and a whole month to rework it because that’s how much time it would need. There’s a Lad Bible interview Cumberbatch and Olsen did. They were describing how often things would change, how the morning of the shoot they would get brand new info. It’s very evident in the pacing of the movie.

MoM would need a 6-episode show, with 45-60 whole minute per ep, to fully do justice to the characters. The lack of character development, or effective character development was a little sad. The pacing is my biggest issues with this movie because they’re just bringing in SO many things into one film when they cannot afford that rn

It’s basically a horror movie in a lot of ways. It was visually stunning and absolutely lovely in so many ways. The music!! (And that fight scene w the music ohmygod) I love it.

Spoilers here on out.

Dr Strange, sir, I’m sorry this wasn’t your movie. Literally so many things happened, I wish I got to see how you processed the snap and the “dust for 5 years” thing. I’m glad you gave us a better quote to express love I love you 3000 was kinda ????, (like a friend said, it’s superior). “I’d love you in any universe” was wonderful (and I might get the exact wording wrong, sue me, I’m still drunk)

WONG MY BELOVED. You deserve to be Sorcerer Supreme!! Ur amazing and can do no wrong. Beloved <3

America Chavez!! You’re super cool and I cannot wait to see the cool shit you do. But also, I’m going to acknowledge that they’re brining a new character without putting in the work? To me it seems like they introduced her with no personality and a tragic back story. Do MCU women have any real backstory other than “a tragic event thats entirely (female characters) fault or something they should feel shame/take blame for?”

Replacing Irondad-Spiderson with a Strange & Chavez, Father-Daughter relationship I see. It’s cute, fanfics will be fun. Can’t wait to block the inevitable ship name.

Christine, I’m glad that in every universe, you’re prioritising yourself and your sanity instead of dating a man too afraid to be vulnerable. Good for you, girl!!

WANDA. I have so many thoughts!! You might get your own post??? She’s so powerful, I love it. Even though I think it was a horrible way to show her power, watching her destroy the Illuminati was awesome. The whole bit where she used her Intelligence and the reflections was a 11/10 better way to show her formidable nature. I think there’s some major cognitive dissonance in her motives. If she knows that she can create her own world through sheer emotions, then why would she need to go to another universe??? If you’re telling me she feels guilt, and that’s why she won’t hurt the humans on earth-616, then how do you explain her being ok with taking away another Wanda’s babies for herself? Anyway. Thinking thoughts. Feel free to explain I guess? Idk.

The fucking Illuminati!!!!!!!!!! This is a whole thing bro

First of all, REED RICHARDS??? THEY KEPT KRASINSKI’S CASTING HIDDEN?? Alleged Tom Cruise was a fucking phenomenal distraction, I’m in AWE. Andrew Garfield could NEVER!!!! Everyone else on that cast list we had strong inklings but ufh Mr. Fantastic that was GG as fuck. (Also I think I read Tom Cruise and Haley Attwell were dating so maybe the whole Tom Cruise Ironman came from him visiting her on set? Idk)

Now to shit on it.

You’re telling me the smartest man in their universe, Who voted on killing their Strange for Dreamwalking the darkhold magic, didn’t anticipate Scarlet Witch’s power????? Even if he did anticipate it, why would you tell her about Black Bolt’s power!!! God that was DUMB. Good to see u Mr. Jim Kraskinski but you deserve to be noodle string cheesed. The fam service is great tho, and I really hope we see Kraskinski-Blunt and Evans in a new Fantastic 4 movie

CAPTAIN CARTER I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for not bringing Steve into her narrative in any way what so ever. Thank you for the “I can do this all day” It’s lovely!!!! She’s Amazing and strong, but like I said killing her off was just meh move. I like that you did it that way? But idk,,, I want to see more of her so maybe Marvel will listen to their fans again and give us more!!!

Black Bolt, why did I think Ben Affleck played you?? You died in a super fucked up way and honestly, thank you for that. Your death was refreshing and will scar at least one (1) child, and idk if that’s a good thing but, parents definitely need to adhere to the movie ratings on this one.

PROFESSOR X!! I love you, I missed you, you were dressed like your husband (Mr. Magneto) when you died why was that??? I hate that Wanda killed you but I missed you. So much. I love you.

CAP MARVEL MARIA YOUR AWESOME but I wanna see more of you also if ur Cap then where Carol and did you still have a kid? What happened?? I wanna see more!!!!!!

Okay I think that’s mostly it. Closing notes, could do better, y’all threw character development out of the window. Randomly introducing new powers, characters and strengths is a little weak in terms of writing. Employee foreshadowing instead of expecting your fans to watch over 20 hours of content. It was good but you could do a lot better.

I will not watch it in the movies again, and I watch NWH like 3 times full priced tix.

for the sleepover, tell me what you're writing about and your favorite line so far if you have one! ✨

okay this kind of has three answers so i'll answer all of them! i always love talking about my writing projects (derogatory and affectionate) :)

original project: i am still dragging my feet with my crime show, which i have made little to no progress on in the past like two years, rip. you might have seen me talking about it before but tldr the very basic premise is that it's about a group of petty grifters who accidentally pull a con on the mob and get roped into this massive imbroglio of crime lords and long-seated feuds in the parisian criminal underworld. i unfortunately am STILL outlining, and the two scenes i do have written are in script format anyway, so i'm not going to post a favorite line

x-files university au: this has sort of replaced my peggysous time loop fic as my big fic project right now, which is really a shame because i am literally a loop and a half away from being done with the time loop fic so i should really get back to it so i can PUBLISH THE GODDAMN THING. sigh. i hate plot bunnies. this one is especially annoying because it's pretty much a rehashing of the mytharc episodes from season 1 (with a little futzing around with the timeline + m&s are uni students + doggett and reyes are also there), which means i kind of need to rewatch them... but i am only 2.5 seasons into watching this show for the first time. (sort of. as you'll see with the next project i've sort of been skipping around a little. don't worry about it.) however, i am kind of obsessed with my weird little college agents and their weird little project for investigative journalism 401, so we keep chugging away at it. i'm putting my favorite scene from it thus far under the cut below, plus a bonus line specifically for you :)

x-files uhhhhhhhh: i literally do not know what to say about this one without giving things away, but i will try: it's a season 5 au that deals with grief, devotion, and codependency with a hint of psychological thriller mixed in just for shits and giggles. i also read the recipe wrong and added a full cup of angst instead of a teaspoon, whoops. i know this means nothing to you because you don't even watch this show but for those of my followers who do i don't even think i can say what characters are in this without spoiling things. as such i am not going to post a line from this one either

sleepover asks!!!

(and read on for some snippets from my txf wip!)

my favorite section from the txf university fic (bonus points if you catch the non-txf reference):

“Or how ’bout this: happy family of seven moves into this huge big house in Massachusetts last year hoping to flip and resell it, and within a month, there’s a kid dead of cyanide poisoning and the mom took a one-way trip off the top of the staircase.”

“That’s a horrible tragedy,” Scully starts, “but-”

He slaps the newspaper on the table. (“Do you just carry that around?” John asks.) “The dad went to every publication that would listen claiming the house was haunted.”

John is rubbing his temples, and Scully mutters something that sounds suspiciously like ay yi yi. Monica, however, is nodding thoughtfully along. Mulder might kiss her, if a. he weren’t dead certain she’s a lesbian and b. he hadn’t recently come to the realization, completely unprompted by any real-life events, that he’s more partial to redheads.

and a bonus completely out of context line for mitali!

“Because Han Solo is a slut, that’s why. Open the button.”

[inkybinkyboink]

no ok heres my hot take on the whole “breaking bad characters opinions on queer folk” headcanons except its a masterpost with every single character i can think of and it’s in alphabetical order because of my undying need for approval from fictional characters. queerphobic percentages included no extra charge!!!!!!!!!!!

badger: 33% - badger’s been hanging out for long enough to know that people come in all shapes and sizes, no two are the same and that doesn’t confuse him, but he thinks it’s weird. definitely believes that there’s a “normal” and a “not normal”.

chuck: 64% - good lord this man grew up following the rules and probably catholicism. he’s such a pain in the ass abt it too, like he’ll bring up biology the first chance he gets.

francesca: 21% - shes spoken to enough shitty people to the point where as long as you’re not a dick to her she could not give less of a fuck who you are or what you do at home. 

gale: 0% - gale is the one character at zero percent for a reason. he’s just,,so full of love???

gus: 1% - ok this was kind of a joke but you cannot look at this man and tell me he doesn’t not have an iota of internalized homophobia in him. 

hank: 78% - hes just,,,,so conservative-coded. i don’t trust him. i feel like he’d talk abt queer people like “snowflakes” and uses “blue hair and pronouns” but in the most derogatory way possible.

howard: 24% - idk man i just think he’d be chill with it. he seems like a homie. 

huell: 31% - man grew up religious in louisiana like bro. strikes me as a “hate the sin, love the sinner” kind of guy but in the most nonchalant way possible.

jane: 5% - goddamn bro she’s probably queer herself but? god look at her and tell me there isnt a small part of her that harbors the most micro-aggressive biphobia you’ve ever seen.

jesse: 22% - like ok jesse’s funky bc at the beginning of the show hes definitely further up there, but as he grows as a character i think it would go down bc he learns people can be kind, and it’s not based at all in what they do or who they are. like he doesn’t get it, but he’s super willing to listen and learn, but only like,,,after the events of el camino. any time before that i think he would just kind of brush it off.

kim: 15% - she’d go to a pride parade. but also she doesn’t actively advocate for queer rights. but she’s totally cool with it.

lalo: 28% - k so lalo is so gender i struggle to see him as a purely black and white queerphobic person. like, i dont think he’d get it, or understand it, but he also doesnt,,,care,,,like, he’d kill you either way but he’d also ask you your pronouns before he kills you

marie: 67% - her husband is hank and her sister is skyler. need i say more. she gets SUPER terf-y.

mike: 36% - ok so i think he’s kind of in the same boat as lalo, except i added points bc theyre from different generations, which i do think affects viewpoints. but like on any given day mike does not care. he doesn’t care, but also he’s not gonna drive you to your hrt appointment. yknow? 

nacho: 12% - look ok i wouldn’t put it past nacho to have experimented himself, i think he understands better than a lot of people that identity and sexuality is fluid. also? idk i feel like he would find the concept of identity interesting, so he’s done a lot of research of his own and stuff.

saul: 26% - saul’s kind of on the same road as jesse i think. like jimmy mcgill would try to listen and understand, but saul just kind of,,,doesn’t care. also probably micro-aggressive but would never actively do anything shitty.

skinny pete: 25% - similar to badger, but he doesn’t think it’s weird, he thinks it’s cool. absolutely watches rupauls drag race.

skyler: 43% - like ok if one of skyler’s kids came out to her, she would be a lot more supportive, but otherwise she just kind of lives in her own bubble where she oversexualizes the concept of queer people and thinks that all drag queens are trans women.

todd: 56% - gd bro todd lives with nazis. that’s a pretty confident contender for not being the most accepting. but of course, it’s todd, so he’s gonna be nice about it? but absolutely trash talks queer ppl behind their back. 

tyrus: 35% - we know little to nothing abt tyrus’ backstory but he gives me rlly calm vibes. idk. he doesnt pay much attention to it. has pre-existing notions of queer folk that give him a more negative bias.

tuco: 88% - dude. dude. dude. tuco is a loose canon. please never let me near him. i will die. so quickly. 

walter: 35% - ive seen fanfics and implications that him and elliot had something going on, but also walters kind of a total dick? like he’s homophobic bc his own experiences were shitty so he assumes the worst from then on out.

walt jr: 29% - ok everyone says walt jr. would be transphobic but i disagree. hes part of the younger generation, i feel like he would understand it more than anything? i know thats not applicable to every like,,younger person but he’s more surrounded by like,,society and stuff??? idk i think he’d kind of just shrug it off and support it.

victor: 74% - he just...i dont like his vibes. i dont like ‘em. i feel like he’d be rlly douchy if he found someone he was working with or was friends with was queer or trans. 

#this post is gonna b hit or miss #breaking bad #better call saul #el camino #delete later maybe #tw transphobia #tw homophobia #tw queerphobia

Goddamn camt believe that shit had the Audacity to just end i thought i was like halfway through the episode anyway kedreeva i fucking love/hate you for dragging me into this fucking shitshow i hate it here i am so fucking invested i am having so many Emotions i am going to combust they are all My Children and hopper can go fuck himself for the time being joyce ily nancy you can do so much better honey steve get your shit together i love them all sm god i used to take so much pride in not knowing ehat the fuck anyone eas talking about when all of my acquaintances were trying to convert me to the stranger things cult and look at what i have become now i am experiencing the full range of human emotion i fucking hate saying this but im losing my shit this is so fucking entertaining and exciting amd its got no right to be

GLEE

Yeah it's a REALLY good show, and S1 is so fucking GOOD it actually just flies by.

The monster called her to try to tell her that her child broke into his house

I'mc rying lol omg children (derogatory)

They are all my children too. They're all just so precious and good. I love them. I'm so happy you love them. I'm so happy for your emotions!!!

We so far don't know, I think, what hopper is popping. I don't recall them ever saying. I feel like i have a memory of it, but I feel like that's a fanfic memory.

Mrs. Wheeler loves her kids. She may not love Ted, but she loves her kids. And she's like.... she's aware Something is going on, but as of where we're at in S4 she hasn't figured out What. I feel like if someone would just TELL HER then she'd instantly become another Joyce. Maybe that's why they haven't, but Joyce could use a goddamn friend.

Mike absolutely becomes a dick by S4, especially to Will. No one wants it. We have no control.

LISTEN. You will fall for Hopper before S4, you're not even going to make it out of this season okay, you're going to want to protect him too once he knows what is going on and starts being ready to kill for the children he just adopted and especially El.

The diner gets abandoned and becomes the local teen party and makeout spot. I don't know enough about Benny to know if he would want that or not.

[magic-space-games]

yeah, i was really shocked that twisted metal/peacock let anthony be normal and gave us scenes with his shirtless. he looks amazing and i loved that for him. haters will always hate. byt marvel act as if they are ashamed to show anyone who isn't have a superhero standard body.

I think the thing that gets me the most riled up is that if you look at older TV shows like Star Trek, the male actors who are marketed for their sex appeal are definitely muscular, but it's the functional muscle with a layer of fat over it. This is how Anthony Mackie's body is portrayed, and it's what is considered generally attractive to straight women, and that's who they're marketing to. Marvel isn't marketing sex appeal to straight women. They're marketing scarily unhealthy masculinity to straight men, and disguising it as "something women want." (By the way, every single goddamn time I see that post of the guy with huge arms from Train to Busan with people saying he has a "dad bod" I get a little bit closer to committing some kind of arson. It makes me so fucking mad. That's not a "dad bod." That's a goddamn lumberjack.)

I could be mistaken, and I haven't finished the show yet, but the actual episodes of Twisted Metal don't seem to be marketing themselves too heavily towards straight men. Like, yes, the marketing as a whole is geared towards straight men, but watching the show itself, I'm really strongly reminded of Mad Max: Fury Road, and not just in the sense of car go fast and gun go bang. I don't recall any slow panning shots focusing on Stephanie Beatriz' body in sexual ways. There's sex in the show, but the actors' bodies aren't the focus. The only times I can think of where the camera focuses on bodies are for humorous effect (and generally not in a derogatory way) or for horror (again, generally not in a derogatory way.) It's just such a class act of a show. Other productions teams ought to be taking notes.

#twisted metal #also thank you for the ask!! :D

8. common fandom complaint that everyone is wrong about

I was surprised to hear that people hated 1-3 because I actually really liked it. the investigation, despite being extremely cluttered, was very involved and even though the culprit was pretty easy to guess to me I enjoyed it. I've had a lot of the dgr culprits and whatnot spoiled for me (in 2017 before I even knew what dgr was I liked watching execution comps on yt) so it's always been more about the journey than the destination. I also just really like celest and think peoples reading of "I did it for money :)" and seeing her as a boring gothic lolita girl is a huge disservice and intentionally looking for things to hate

12. the unpopular character you actually like and why more people should like them

I'm a hater in the way that I hate more popular characters than I love unpopular characters but two that come to mind are mukuro and monaca. mukuro is unpopular in the sense that he gets overshadowed by junko a lot but she still has a relatively positive reputation (mainly because people literally only see mukuro as naekusaba which is beyond annoying to me). monaca on the other hand is a much more hated character and I can like. I can see why. but people hate her so unbelievably much that it feels excessive. like absolutely critique the meta parts of her character that are completely worthy of the backlash, but those aren't CHARACTER flaws-- they're staff flaws. people dont even hate her for the meta flaws, people hate her because she's a manipulative user and a horrible person. like, yeah, that's... that's the point. like she acts in an identical way to junko, but people love junko more because the writers neglected showing her manipulative side. there are also some sympathetic parts of her that are (rightfully) overshadowed by her actions, but people choose to ignore them regardless. idk!!!! it just feels so weird the amount of hate she gets to me

13. worst blorbofication

pretty much every goddamn character at this point but the worst contenders are komaeda, kokichi, and ishimaru in my book because people are incapable of being normal about them (derogatory)

14. that one thing you see in fanart all the time

a lot of people make the characters look wayyyy to samey in my book, like I get that the source material's diversity in character designs is pretty nonexistent but it feels like such a shame to just make them look like the same character with different hair and clothes. idk!!!!! things like eye shape and facial structure either get lost or weren't there in the source material already so it feels like they lack that character of. looking like a person. idk!!!!!!!!

i always wonder how so many men hate women so much and don’t see the insanity in their hatred women are historically oppressed. even now. they are not the cause most violence, suffering and despair. the most women ever did in modern times was get SOME rights, finally. that doesn’t take rights away from men. sure it takes away few of the things where they oppressed women legally, but oppressing others is not a right. yet men don’t have enough self awareness to see their self entitlement is the only cause for them to hate women overall. not saying men with bad experiences with a woman can’t be cautious, but hating all of the female species is so deranged. women as i established just don’t do shit overall to cause issues. we are conditioned to fall in line all our lives. and when some woman don’t she’s quickly called everything derogatory under the sun, treated with disgust and hatred openly, instead of the subtle stuff the average one gets. but men are so dumb that they don’t have the ability to see this. they have no awareness behind the tip of their own nose. men just sit around all their lives sniffing their fart fumes getting high off themselves and each others “greatness”, comfortable in the fact that the only reason they have it as good as they do is because others have to be stepped on.

and then we have the age of the incels. the poor unfortunate men who can’t get laid :( so sad, so tragic, truly a life not worth living </3.

instead of working on improving their no doubt spoiled, entitled personalities and ugly appearances, with nothing of value in their abilities to offer the world, they instead sit online and fume in their incel forums, wishing women were kept in cages as breeding stock and sex slaves. they are once again showing that age old inability for self reflection or just a lack of wanting to.

men have no respect from me. i hate them. they disgust me. i cannot see any humane behavior from most men and even those i do see some in usually end up showing their true selves eventually. that is not me saying they are not human. they are. but they are not humane. they have no respect or love for anything besides themselves and perhaps a bit in other men too because they can mirror themselves in those ultimately. men are the embodiment of self absorption. and i find it harder and harder to solely blame these stuff on socialization anymore, because even the most isolated men seem to show these behaviors. i think it’s just a male thing. egocentrism. it shows in TIMs too. expecting everyone, especially women, to break their backs playing into their weird fetishistic fantasies of womanhood. expecting women to bend over backwards to give their spaces to them. to validate their obsession with misogyny.

i hate the world i’m born into because of men. they suck out the goodness of everything. they are a tumor to women. i wish they just left us all alone. but their hatred doesn’t make them leave us, it instead emboldens them, makes them seek us out to harm us.

sigh.

godDAMN anon.

if there's to be any hope, it's going to be based on women like you with such a clarity of things and have the words to express it perfectly. and i mean that shit.

like godDAMN. every line felt like i was getting hit with the vine boom sound effect lmaoo. i genuinely don't know what to say, bc you worded it perfectly.

Idk why I’m ever poking this wasp nest ok im not in the 911 fandom or anything (as in I love the show, but I don’t create anything or like engage with it too much in fandom spaces) but sweet lord some of y’all in this fandom are giving me johnlock flashbacks. buddie might not happen (in fact, I lean more towards it probably not happening, tho to be clear I ship it a lot). not everything is a hint towards canon buddie. pls stop analyzing bts stuff and reading into everything with conspiracy glasses to so you can claim certainty that it’s happening and the writers/showrunners are planting seeds for the eagle-eyed. I’m not trying to hate or ruin fun or call y’all dumb because you aren’t. just as a veteran of sherlock and johnlock? don’t put your whole soul into canon buddie. don’t look for hints in everything. because odds are, they aren’t hints. you will literally only ruin the show for yourself if it doesn’t happen because you hung your enjoyment on the show in eventual canon buddie.

to be clear? If buddie doesn’t happen, imo this isn’t a sherlock situation; ie., I don’t think it’s queerbaiting. johnlock was actively teased a really gross number of times through the whole show, with people constantly making jokes that john and sherlock were lovers, and the actors and showrunners either never engaged with or actively shut down the idea of johnlock when it became clear it wasn’t going to happen, while simultaneously still playing up the queer shit. w/ 911, it’s fun to imagine and to speculate that eddie and buck could end up together. but it’s also entirely possible that they just have a very deep, emotion-led platonic friendship. those exist. if I had a child, I would probably will custody to my best friend, because we have a (textual) buck-and-eddie style relationship. any references to them being a couple aren’t derogatory or jokes—they’re fun and light hearted or blink and you miss it. johnlock and buddie are not the same, and if buddie isn’t canon it won’t be queerbaiting unless they go way hard on it this season.

however. as an aforemention tjlc veteran. take care of yourselves. read less into every interaction between them, into every bts, into every goddamn costume and scene and character name or whatever else I keep seeing. have fun with the show. if you’re speculating just for fun?? keep doing it!! but if you think about buddie not going canon and either feel deeply disappointed, invalidated, or betrayed? step back. reevaluate. don’t risk hating this show because you loved one potential facet too much. there’s not much worse in fandom than that.

Love bobby! Love hen! Love chim and maddie! Love buck and eddie’s undeniable love for each other, without hanging that love for them on them ending up together.

Sincerely, your resident fandom old.

(also? if anyone reads this whole thing and doesn’t hate me pls tell me good buddie/911 fics I love them)

hi blink!!! how about top 5 comic recs and/or top 5 ballads?

oh god okay gonna start by saying as much as i love comics i’ve read very few of them okay let’s go

x-men: exiles. if you’ve ever wondered “hey, where did the name ‘blink’ come from, and also, how did you and jaz get to talking” the answer to both is in fact x-men, and exiles is my favorite. i haven’t read the shorter 2018 run (yet), but the earlier run is one of the first comics i ever read and clarice ferguson my darling is front and center so obviously it bangs.

x-men: x-factor. okay this one is great it’s a detective/noir setup with a bunch of great people including terry cassidy, my literal wife, and rictor and shatterstar - who are definitively the gay romance of all time. it gets uhhh less enjoyable as it goes in my opinion? but the first half fucking WHIPS and you just don’t get team-ups like this anymore.

hawkeye. yknow the matt fraction run. so like i’m a fake fan or whatever but i didn’t read this run until very recently and in fact i’m still working through it but i adore both the way clint is written and the way kate is written which is stellar because everything i’ve read with kate in the past has just been kind of. fine? she’s not the most compelling to me usually. but I love her in this one. she’s so so good. man.

red hood and the outlaws (2011). don’t read this one. don’t. it’s not good. for every one (1) panel showing the platonic ideal of a bi4bi4bi ot3 there are 70 panels of nonsense and bullshit (derogatory). instead, find a local bisexual who has read it and ask them to explain the best takeaways and plot points to you, so that you can ignore all the bad writing and poorly done plots. the version that exists in someone’s head is better than what exists on the page. even so, i am the local bisexual who goes feral over it. so like, it got me and it goes on the list.

birds of prey - once again. do not read this one. or at least don’t read the 1990s run because the politics are just. they’re so. questionable and in fact bad. and esp in the later issues the characterizations are very off. but what you CAN do is accept that dinah and babs were in love even before dinah knew babs’ name, and then go read the later runs by gail simone because that little factoid is all you need from any of the hundred or so issues written before ms. simone came along.

ohoho BALLADS. what if i just listed ballads (poems from Romantic authors) instead of songs. i’m not going to but i did consider it. i struggled with this one actually because like, technically ballads have specific meanings and i spent a while trying to find the narrative, abcb rhyming, folk songs. but that’s hard lmao so here have five slow love (?) songs regardless of genre.

“all the pretty girls” by kaleo. this is one of my top songs of all time actually which is why it’s on here, regardless of question specifications. OR. fuck. listen to “my fair lady” off their next album too. godddd god i lose my mind.

“weights and measures” by dry the river. everyone who knows me long enough has to eventually listen to me wax poetic about the album shallow bed (acoustic) at some point, i’m not going to get into it here again, but like. albums i can recite front to back and WILL at the slightest provocation. god this song. GOD this song!!! see also: bible belt and new ceremony. the fact that i use lyrics from any other artists for fic titles is a miracle.

“boy crazy” by dessa. okay listen, this is nothing like the first two songs and may not technically count as a ballad, i know. but, like. lie down in the grass and stare at the sky and listen to the live version from her performance with the minnesota orchestra. unlocks new emotions every time.

“nothing at all” by the crane wives. i wasn’t going to include it because it’s not quite right per the parameters set above but i keep circling back to it and going goddamn that’s a good one though,,,

andkfkgmhm i’m so. me. every time. okay go listen to “into your arms” by the maine. i’m sorry. the warped tour kid in me refuses to let this one go. music videos i watched on REPEAT in high school.

honorary mention to hozier, i told myself i couldn’t list him because everyone already knows all his slow love songs and that’s fine, but it’s weird not to put him on lists of favorites because. well. he is one.

#stara i am so sorry sjdkfkgmhmh #i’m sure you had something in mind when you asked for ballads. I am equally sure I did not fulfill that. #this is fine i’m sure but i do feel the need to say it sjdkfkgkgmgng #i don’t know. Music. generally speaking. #but that’s fine! we got there. sort of. in the end. #ANYWAY THANK YOU THIS SENT ME ON SUCH A JOURNEY #tam.ask #long post // #ask meme #me looking at this like oh no people think I know things. i do not know things. #thehallstara
