@hammill-goes-fogwalking thank you my beautiful friend 💖💕🌷🌸✨this game was so fun! I’ve been submerged in movies more than music lately so this is perfect.
My Seven Comfort Movies are:
1. The Clock (1945)
Tumblr media
100/10 - Joe and Alice are so cute. Simple but beautiful and sweet romance story. No misery or negatives to it. You feel on the edge of your seat because of the time crunch they’re in.
2. Seventh Heaven (1937)
Tumblr media
100/10 - same vibe as The Clock: simple and absolutely the sweetest. Chico and Diane are so tender and cute. Beautiful and innocent love story set in Paris 1914, unfortunately there is a sad turn, but I will not spoil it (although I will say, everyone survives - don’t worry) still very sweet.
3. It Happened One Night (1939)
Tumblr media
90/10 - very cute. Another sweet romance. It’s not lovey dovey but you can still tell that they like each other for the majority of the movie. Nice ending. Funny too. I love it very much 😊😌.
4. The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1966)
Tumblr media
100/10 - my goodness. This classic western is my favourite and I LOVE watching westerns. I also really love Once Upon a Time in the West. Clint is breathtaking and badass. Tuco is fun and crazy and Angel Eyes is cool, they all fit perfectly in the film. The aura is absolutely spot on, the stunning score by Ennio Morricone just make the movie perfect, along with the scenery and the classic style of the movie. It’s beautiful. Always my fav.
5. Dirty Dancing (1987)
Tumblr media
9/10 - cute. Me and my sister’s summer movie. Patrick Swayze is the beautiful centerpiece in this. The dancing is captivating. The songs are nostalgic and catchy. Only thing I’m not fond of is the guy that owns a hotel that calls baby “kid” and Penny because I find them both so annoying and they are unfortunately in the movie for considerable time.
6. The Mission (1986)
Tumblr media
50/10 - heart breaking. Beautiful. The piece where Gabriel plays his oboe for the native people is so profound and beautiful. I love this movie. The historical portrayal is beautiful and the religious focus meaningful. Sad ending but I won’t spoil it. For me, Gabriel makes it the most sad 😭.
7. Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
100/10 - captivating and beautiful. So inspiring and wholesome. Jimmy is so beautiful in here (as always). Mr smith is just a beautiful person entangled in the corrupt and rotten government politics. He shows what a good politician/senator should be like: he has strong morals and will fight until he drops for what’s right. It may be 2 hours but doesn’t feel at all that long. Great acting in this film, especially from the wonderful James Stewart.
I would like to honourably mention The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
because I love it so much as well ♥️
Tumblr media
Also 100/10 - ah yes, another sweet romance movie with Jimmy. What’s there not to love but the bitterness that Ms Novak shows the lovely and Classy Mr Kralik until the end. Very cute and sweet with a lovely ending.

Yassen Gregorovich - Books vs TV
With the excellent new Alex Rider tv show out, I thought I would make a comparison post for one of my old favs, Yassen Gregorovich, who has a somewhat different feel in the books as compared to the show! This post will largely cover the first book Stormbreaker and should theoretically contain no spoilers for the potential future arcs of the show, since the events of Stormbreaker are presumably non-canon now. (Spoilers abound for the episodes of the show already out, though!)
If there’s any interest, I’ll put up a second post covering Eagle Strike and some parts of Russian Roulette that delves deeper into Yassen and his complicated relationship with Alex. Just let me know!
Much like the show, Yassen was the one who killed Ian Rider. Unlike the show, however, he’s known to be active on the field and the first time we “encounter” him is prior to Alex’s first mission, where Mrs Jones gives Alex a warning:
She took out a black-and-white photograph and laid it on the table. It showed a man in a white T shirt and jeans. He was in his late twenties with light, close cropped hair, a smooth face, the body of a dancer. The photograph was slightly blurred. It had been taken from a distance, possibly with a hidden camera. “I want you to look at this,” she said.
"I’m looking."
“His name is Yassen Gregorovich. He was born in Russia, but he now works for many countries. Iraq has employed him. Also Serbia, Libya, and China.”
“What does he do?” Alex asked.
"He’s a contract killer, Alex. We believe it was he who killed Ian Rider.”
There was a long pause. Alex had almost managed to persuade himself that this whole business was just some sort of crazy adventure…a game. But looking at the cold face with its blank, hooded eyes, he felt something stirring inside him and knew it was fear. He remembered his uncle’s car, shattered by bullets. A man like this, a contract killer, would do the same to him. He wouldn’t even blink.
[…]
“Why are you telling me this now?” Alex asked. His mouth had gone dry.
"Because if you see him, if Yassen is anywhere near Sayle Enterprises, I want you to contact us at once."
“And then?"
“We’ll pull you out. It doesn’t matter how old you are, Alex. If Yassen finds out you’re working for us, he’ll kill you too.”
I always thought this was a pretty good introductory scene -- Yassen has a very deadly reputation in the books, which is established at once then hammered in over and over again. Other traits which come up again and again include his coldness and his dancer’s body which is totally something I’m into, gotta love those “elegant and deadly assassin” tropes
(also, yes, Yassen is blond in the books and definitely not a brunet or even a redhead as in the movie. he also doesn’t have a distinctive facial scar!)
Yassen doesn’t actually have many scenes in Stormbreaker, although the shadow of his presence looms pretty darkly over the narrative. Alex only runs into him twice on the mission: once from a distance -- A lean, fair-haired figure dressed in black detached himself from the assembly line and walked languidly toward a door that slid open to receive him -- and the other encounter also occurs from a distance, when Alex is spying on a mysterious delivery at the docks in the dead of the night...
And then the tower opened and a man climbed out, stretching himself in the cold morning air. Even without the half-moon, Alex would have recognized the sleek dancer’s body and the close cropped-hair of the man whose photograph he had seen only a few days before. It was Yassen Gregorovich. Alex stared at him with growing fear. This was the contract killer Mrs. Jones had told him about. The man who had murdered Ian Rider. He was dressed in grey overalls and sneakers. He was smiling. He was the last person Alex wanted to meet.
[…]
Meanwhile, the guards from Sayle Enterprises had formed a line stretching back almost to the point where the vehicles were parked. Yassen gave an order and, as Alex watched from behind the rocks, a metallic silver box with a vacuum seal appeared, held by unseen hands at the top of the submarine’s tower. Yassen himself passed it down to the first of the guards, who then passed it back up the line. About forty more boxes followed, one after another. It took almost an hour to unload the submarine. The men handled the boxes carefully. They obviously didn’t want to break whatever was inside.
By the end of the hour they were almost finished. The boxes were being repacked now into the back of the truck that Alex had vacated. And that was when it happened. One of the men, standing on the jetty, dropped one of the boxes. He managed to catch it again at the last minute, but even so it banged down heavily on the stone surface. Everyone stopped. Instantly. It was as if a switch had been thrown and Alex could almost feel the raw fear in the air.
Yassen was the first to recover. He darted forward along the jetty, moving like a cat, his feet making no sound. He reached the box and ran his hands over it, checking the seal, then nodded slowly. The metal wasn’t even dented.
With everyone so still Alex heard the exchange that followed.
“I’m sorry,” the guard said. “I won’t do that again.”
“No. You won’t,” Yassen agreed, and shot him.
Largely a reaffirmation of what we saw from the photograph scene, this time in person: Yassen is generally quiet, understated and deceptively relaxed -- up until the point he murders somebody without blinking. I think the show does a good job capturing that aspect of Yassen, with scenes like Ian’s death and Dr. Greif in the car coming to mind in particular. Gotta love that pairing of Yassen’s generally calm demeanour with the bursts of restrained yet lethal violence!
Some other minor but interesting character notes: despite being one of the most highly-paid and successful assassins in the world, Yassen is perfectly comfortable doing grunt work (passing boxes, dressing in shitty grey overalls). Similarly, despite being (presumably) more comfortable working alone, he’s also at ease with giving orders and coordinating large groups of people.
Now, moving onto the last time Yassen shows up in Stormbreaker. This is right at the end of the book after Alex successfully foils the plot of the big bad (Herod Sayle), only to get kidnapped by him while his guard is down. Sayle takes them to a rooftop where a helicopter is coming to whisk Sayle away, but first he wants to have some revenge...
"That’s my ticket out of here!” Sayle continued. “They’ll never find me! And one day I’ll be back. Next time, nothing will go wrong. And you won’t be here to stop me. This is the end for you! This is where you die!”
There was nothing Alex could do. Sayle raised the gun and took aim, his eyes wide, the pupils blacker than they had ever been, mere pinpricks in the bulging white.
There were two small explosive cracks.
Alex looked down, expecting to see blood. There was nothing. He couldn’t feel anything. Then Sayle staggered and fell onto his back. There were two gaping holes in his chest.
The helicopter landed in the center of the cross. The pilot got out.
Still holding the gun that had killed Herod Sayle, he walked over and examined the body, prodding it with his shoe. Satisfied, he nodded to himself, tucking the gun away. He had switched off the engine of the helicopter and behind him the blades slowed down and stopped. Alex stepped forward. The man seemed to notice him for the first time.
"You’re Yassen Gregorovich,” Alex said.
The Russian nodded. It was impossible to tell what was going on in his head. His clear blue eyes gave nothing away.
"Why did you kill him?” Alex asked.
“Those were my instructions.” There was no trace of an accent in his voice. He spoke softly, reasonably. “He had become an embarrassment. It was better this way."
"Not better for him.”
Yassen shrugged.
“What about me?” Alex asked.
The Russian ran his eyes over Alex, as if weighing him up. “I have no instructions concerning you,” he said.
"You’re not going to shoot me too?”
"Do I have any need to?”
There was a pause. The two of them gazed at each other over the corpse of Herod Sayle.
“You killed Ian Rider,” Alex said. “He was my uncle.”
Yassen shrugged. “I kill a lot of people"
“One day I’ll kill you.”
“A lot of people have tried.” Yassen smiled. “Believe me,” he said, “it would be better if we didn’t meet again. Go back to school. Go back to your life. And the next time they ask you, say no. Killing is for grown-ups and you’re still a child.”
He turned his back on Alex and climbed into the cabin. The blades started up, and a few seconds later, the helicopter rose back into the air. For a moment it hovered at the side of the building. Behind the glass, Yassen raised his hand. A gesture of friendship? A salute?
Alex raised his hand. The helicopter spun away.
Alex stood where he was, watching it, until it had disappeared in the dying light.
HOO BOY where to start! This is a longer scene compared to the rest but I love it so much, it’s probably the best part of Stormbreaker for me and obviously it’s fairly different from the show. I adore the last scene of the show since the tension was delightful, but this hit in a different way. Alex! And Yassen! Actually talking!!! It’s a sparse scene (like most of AH’s writing), but very atmospheric and loaded with meaning all the same.
Let’s start with the obvious stuff first - book!Yassen is fair-haired and blue-eyed (or grey, depending), and has a very measured way of speaking without any accent at all. He very much falls into the archetype of “inscrutable Russian assassin with a mysterious connection to the protagonist” and it’s delightful.
I do like the fact we only really see Yassen in person for two scenes in the entire book, and both times he kills someone ruthlessly and efficiently. (...yes, he did kill Sayle while piloting a helicopter) His reputation is well-deserved and I think the show does an excellent job with that too; every time we see Yassen on screen there’s a feeling that shit is about to go down and somebody is about to die.
The show also does a pretty good job hinting at the connection between Yassen and Alex (ughh Yassen’s expression when he sees Alex for the first time kills me every time). In Stormbreaker, Yassen does (initially) seem colder towards Alex, emotionless, just a man on a job. But even then, we get little hints of warmth shining through such as the way he smiles when Alex promises to kill him, and of course the salute! It’s pretty clear that Yassen has some measure of fondness for Alex, because no way an assassin would normally just let somebody go after they promised to kill him, even if that person is only a teenage boy (especially considering that teenage boy is driven by a desire to take revenge on his uncle’s killer). I also think it’s interesting that Alex reciprocates his salute. He’s clearly aware (even if only subconsciously) of the connection between the two of them.
Though I think what hits the hardest for me is the fact Yassen is the one to tell Alex that he belongs in school, that he’s a child and he shouldn’t be part of this world. Alex in the books is much, much lonelier compared to the show. There was no Jack or Tom there for him, since Jack was kept completely out of the loop and Tom doesn’t even exist in the book. Wolf and the K-Unit largely either ignored or bullied Alex. As for Blunt and Jones, Alex just saved thousands of kids in England yet the only thing MI6 tells him afterwards is that his actions can never be revealed to the public, his youth will make him useful for future missions, and then the only thing they give him is a doctor’s note(!!!) to explain his absence from school.
If that sounds all sorts of terrible and unfair, Alex agrees:
In the end the big difference between him and James Bond wasn’t a question of age. It was a question of loyalty. In the old days spies had done what they’d done because they loved their country, because they believed in what they were doing. But he’d never been given a choice.
Nowadays, spies weren’t employed. They were used.
And of all the people to point out how fucked up the whole situation is and how Alex needs to get out...it’s Yassen, the contract killer, his uncle’s murderer. And Yassen says it straight to Alex’s face instead of just making token protests about how wrong it is to send a teenage boy into danger and then doing it anyway. I think the moment had a fairly big impact on Alex, and I was sad it wasn’t included in the show, but ah well. Another time, maybe?
BONUS
OK i know this was meant to be a book vs tv show thing BUT I WOULD BE REMISS IN MY DUTIES NOT TO LINK TO THE LAST SCENE AS DEPICTED IN THE OLD MOVIE
‘2 minutes of questionable everything’ from the video description about sums it up. the violins. the closeness. the long lingering looks. “i’ll never forget you.”
Anyway, hope this was interesting and at least a bit informative! Do let me know there’s any interest in a part 2 of this post covering Eagle Strike and maybe a bit of Russian Roulette!

i can't believe yall havent thought of a sambucky the handmaiden au LIKE GUYS LOOK AT THE POTENTIAL
okay if u haven't seen the handmaiden (2016) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CHECK IT OUT OMG ITS ONE OF MY FAV MOVIES AND AS A BISEXUAL WOMAN ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES FEATURING SAPPHIC CHARACTERS
anyways here's a very self-indulgent sambucky the handmaiden! au that i wrote at midnight literally 7 hours before my exam
tw // mentions of suicide
- sam is sook-hee and bucky is hideko obvs
- sam is a criminal working for the power broker aka sharon while bucky or in this case, the winter soldier, was a test experiment for HYDRA / is now an assassin + bodyguard for their leader, alexander pierce
- sharon is conducting business w hydra to obtain some weapons and idk black market stuff which forces her to go to siberia, but obviously the ultimate weapon she wants to take home is the infamous winter soldier
- she asks sam to pretend to be her butler/bodyguard but is actually hiring him to get information on the winter soldier program and obtain the code words needed to control them
- they end up staying in pierce's mansion in like a really remote place in siberia
- sam gets acquainted w the other butlers and housekeepers, they tell him that the area is haunted because they would always hear a man screaming just before daybreak followed by complete silence. they also tell him that the forest is haunted by the spirit of a man who killed himself there
- just like the housekeepers said, sam wakes around 3-4 in the morning to the sound of a man screaming followed by complete silence
- anyways the next morning he accompanies sharon to her first meeting w hydra officials, and that's where he encounters bucky
- after the meeting, sharon is all like, "change of plans. we're going to steal the winter soldier." sam's like "and who's that?", "the person u were standing next to earlier,"
- afterwards, sam starts to spy on bucky. he doesn't talk much, sam notices, actually scratch that this man does not talk period
- they were standing by the door a few feet away from where their bosses were talking. "so uh, what do i call you?" sam asks one day, but bucky is like a statue, his response being a mere blink
- sharon and pierce always have their business meetings in the morning, but they also have spend time at night, usually supper or dinner, that's more casual. sam notices that pierce's bodyguard is less stiff and more human during the later hours of the day
- sam and bucky are again standing by the door. "what do i call you?" bucky asks quietly, almost like a whisper. "uh sam, you can call me sam. and you?"
- he freezes for a while before replying, "james barnes"
- another thing that sam notices is that bucky is NEVER alone. either he's with pierce or he's escorted by other bodyguards (who look like they couldn't even take him down altogether)
- one morning, after the usual distant screams, sam decides to figure out where the screams were actually coming from. he goes to the main house, pretending to bring tea for sharon (there's a small camera hidden in the tray)
- he sees the usual group of bodyguards escorting a half-naked and disheveled bucky from the stairs to the basement. when they see him, the group looks like a pack of deers in headlights, one of them reaches for their gun, "i'm bringing tea for ms. carter," he quickly says.
- "go ahead," the leader, rumlow, says, "but next time use the main hallway will you?"
- "right, she just said it was faster this way, and she's really peculiar about the temperature of her tea."
- he shows the video to sharon and she's like "i need u to find out wtf is going on in that basement."
- one night, sharon and pierce are having dinner tgt "since we're on the topic of legends and fairytales, i have to ask about something," sharon says,
- "go, on," pierce replies
- "the winter soldier program, does it really exist?"
- the hydra leader chuckles, "i was wondering when you would ask that," then points toward bucky, "my dear, you're looking at the winter soldier."
- sam listens in on the conversation. the winter soldier program was a program created by hydra in the 1940s with the first successful test subject being an american ww2 soldier named steve rogers. apparently he was given this serum that made him super strong and for 10 years, while the other test subjects were cryogenically frozen, hydra worked to find ways to control him but failed and they had to keep him restrained most of the time.
- one night, rogers broke out of the facility, stole all the remaining formulas, and threw them away before blowing his brains out in the nearby forest
- after rogers' suicide, hydra brought out its second test subject, bucky barnes, and used the remaining serum on him. afterwards hydra froze him again while they worked on something to keep his mind under control.
- around the 1960s they created the trigger words and since then they've been using bucky to do their dirty work for them. "this, my dear, is our greatest creation." pierce says as he approaches a stand displaying a red book. "his trigger words. say them and he will do anything you want. if you need some errands taken care of, i'd be happy to lend him to you. we can talk about the costs later."
- "i don't have anything i can't take care of myself at the moment, but i'll keep that offer in mind." sharon replies
- now sharon's like "okay we HAVE to steal him and the codes." she figured out that all of the mansion's surveillance turns off for an hour to reboot from 1 AM to 2, and tells sam to basically go to the basement and manipulate bucky when he's not under hydra's control. "make him trust you, that way we won't have much of a fuss taking him to madripoor."
- that night, after the clock strikes 1, sam sneaks into the basement and finds a cell with bucky inside. there's a bed, well, more like a mattress, but bucky's not sleeping on it. instead he's sitting in a corner, head against the wall, knees tucked in his chest, hyperventilating and,,,crying???
- "hey," sam whispers, "you okay?"
- the winter soldier stares at him with red rimmed eyes and a tear stricken face. "you're sam, you're her bodyguard."
- "yeah and you're the winter soldier, or do you prefer james?"
- "bucky. it's bucky"
- yeah basically sam visits bucky's cell every night for exactly 45 minutes before he has to sneak back out. he tries to gain bucky's trust and manipulate him but guess what they fall in love surprise surprise
- bucky tells sam his true story. how he and steve used to be ww2 soldiers that were experimented on by hydra. he remembers being frozen and the first thing he sees when they woke him up was steve's dead body. "they told me he shot his head in the forest." the first thing he felt was pain as they injected the serum into his veins then tried to erase his memories. he remembers going into cryo and being woken up over and over again to kill someone or destroy something.
- he also tells sam about the one night he broke out, ran as fast as he could, and jumped off a cliff, only for him to survive. he lost an arm, but hydra replaced it with another weapon. "i thought i would end there, but i just became more of a weapon"
- so sam starts to feel unsure about stealing the winter soldier bc goddamnit bucky's a person and he doesnt deserve any of this.
- also the more time he spends with bucky the more he realises that the actual james bucky barnes is a fucking piece of shit that still uses 40s slang and petnames and makes outdated jokes and is actually a big fucking flirt.
- and sam's heart breaks every time he looks at bucky's crestfallen face when he realises that their 45 minutes are over
- of all the people he could fall in love with, it just had to be a brainwashed assassin
- sharon tells him that in a few days, she and pierce will leave for a week to actually get the business transaction done. basically she tells sam that he should break bucky out of the mansion while they're away, take the trigger word book, and meet with torres so he can take them both to madripoor.
- while sharon and pierce leave, sam continues visiting bucky during the night. also he doesn't see bucky during the day bc they have no reason to bring him out of the cell, and he kinda misses him aw
- one night, he wakes up to noise, lots of it. everyone in the house is running. in the midst of all the chaos, sam hears, "find the soldier!"
- the first place sam goes to is the forest, and there he finds bucky kneeling by a frozen lake, with a gun in his hands. sam tackles him and throws the gun away
- "what the fuck were you thinking huh?!" sam shouts, tightly holding the front of bucky's shirt, and he can't help but cry at the thought of bucky's dead body. and all of a sudden he feels like shit. for manipulating bucky and taking advantage of his trauma for his own gain. so he gathers bucky in his arms and tells him everything. about what he and sharon were actually planning, what his true motivations were when he first went inside the basement, and how he actually grew to care for bucky
- bucky just laughs and says, "i know,” he reveals that sharon's plan all along was to take bucky and the trigger words for herself, and frame sam as the mastermind behind everything. she'll then fake bucky’s death and offer sam as another test subject for the winter soldier program as compensation for stealing (and “killing”) bucky
- "how do you know all this?"
- "she visited me the first night you arrived and we talked. she told me she'll take me away and all i had to do was manipulate you into breaking me out." bucky confesses, "i didn't realise you were a sweetheart, that made everything so complicated."
- anyways sam knocks bucky unconscious and basically helps hydra guards put him back in his cell. "just saying, maybe we shouldn't tell pierce abt this yknow" and the hydra guards r like yeah no totally cause if he knew we're all fucked
- anyways bucky and sam come up with a plan to escape together. sam contacts a friend known as baron helmut zemo, who's basically sharon's biggest enemy, but more importantly, owes sam a big ass debt and asks him to give the two of them safe passage to sokovia
- they plan to escape two nights before sharon and pierce return to siberia. on that night, sam wakes up at exactly 1 AM like he always does, and kills everyone in the house. he puts a bullet in every hydra guard, every housekeeper, everyone. he disables all the techs in the house, steals the trigger word book and breaks bucky out of his cell.
- "wait. there's something i have to show you." bucky says. he takes sam to the facility. the place where they tortured him and experimented on him. the place where every other test subjects were kept frozen.
- (if you've watched the handmaiden, yes this is a reference to the library scene) sam can't contain the anger he feels when he looks at the room. "is this where they tortured you? is this where the screams come from every night?"
- bucky nods. he points at a chair in the centre of the room, surrounded by machines and computers. "every morning they would drag me out of my cell, put me on that chair, and-" he swallows a choked sob, "and read the trigger words,"
- sam can't control it anymore. he grabs a metal rod and starts destroying the place. he breaks every machine, tearing them apart until they are nothing more than wires and buttons. he kills all the frozen test subjects, because they deserve better than this. he rips apart the pages of the winter soldier's mission reports, and gathers them into a pile.
- from afar, bucky watches as sam lights up the pile and everything in front of him starts to burn. when sam turns to look at him, he can't help but think about how magnificent he looks as the fire roars behind him. his hero. his guardian angel. his sam.
- sam approaches bucky and pulls him in for a hungry kiss. something he feels he should've done earlier. "no one will ever control you again." he says, and for once its a promise that bucky believes in.
- sam reaches in his bag and pulls out the red book. bucky starts to cry bc no one, not even before hydra, had ever loved him like this. "i mean it. no one." sam says. bucky throws the book in the fire and watches and both paper and leather melt into ash
- the end they escape using zemo's private jet and live happily ever after haha

dating ben hardy (and being younger than him) would include...
request: “I read your Joe one so can you do a dating Ben Hardy and your younger? Like 19?“ “can you please do a Ben dating a younger girl like you did for Joe? I loved it 💓💓”
tagging @chicagoblackhawkslover96 as promised <3
get on with it, babes xx
warnings: some implied smut (cause I’m always horny yikes) (18+ only pls), fluff, virgin!reader cause I feel like it; also the reader is 19; some language, typos (as always lmao), slight (???) angst
a/n: Ben Hardy’s amazing personality stealing my uwus?? it’s most likely to be happening right now, I love this man with my whole ass heart
this is Ben, and this is the reader
it’s bad I’m sorry!!!!
Tumblr media
I’ve read somewhere that Ben is on dating apps
let it be tinder here lmao
so you two met through it
you didn’t believe it was really him before you met
and you were really self-conscious because you had no idea why Ben Hardy would swipe you right and invite you to go somewhere
because you were just a basic university student
but your best friend/roommate practically pushed you out of your dorm room and said, “go get this dick, you dumb bitch!”
she agreed to go with you in case it was a catfish
but it wasn’t
it was Ben Hardy in the flesh
your friend gave you a “thumbs up” and a grin when you approached him
Ben was nice since the very first second you met
you’ve talked the entire time
his soft and soothing voice was like a beautiful song that took you to another dimension
you could sit and listen to him for hours
and you did
throughout the night he couldn’t stop complimenting you at literally anything
“that’s a great choice of biscuits, y/n”, “yeah, it’s amazing that we both hate fish”, “I really like your coat” (the last one is a direct reference to BoRhap, yes)
you could tell you were falling in love with him
and it wasn’t just a simple celebrity crush anymore, you were falling hard for this incredible man
he was admiring you every chance he got, because, besides being crazily beautiful, you were really smart, funny and just amazing
so when it was time to say goodbye, ben gave you the tightest hug you had ever had in your life
your hands went around his neck, pressing your body to his and feeling his warmth
when you pulled away, he whispered, “I really want to see you again, y/n”
and you had to restrain yourself from screaming
so when he texted you, “Are you free tomorrow night?” twenty minutes later, nothing stopped you from hollering and getting multiple complaints from the neighbors in your dorm
that’s how your relationship started
you decided to keep it on the low because neither of you craved the attention from the media
you only craved each other
your first kiss happened a week after your first date
you were hanging out at Ben’s place, binge-watching some Netflix show after a hard day at uni
your legs were across his lap and he was absentmindedly drawing circles on your ankles with his fingers
at one moment, Frankie decided it was a good idea to jump right on your stomach and start licking your face
you laughed and started petting her as she continued her shenanigans
Ben watched the two of you in awe and with the biggest smile on his face
he loved his two favorite girls interacting
so when Frankie chased the stuffed animal you threw away just for her
Ben stroked you cheek gently before kissing you
and it was perfect
before you knew it, the kiss turned into a heated make-out session
Ben was hovering over you, one of his hands under your shirt, cupping your breasts through your bra, and the other one on your face, caressing your cheek
you could feel yourself grow wetter when he started leaving open-mouthed kisses alongside you neck
and when he sucked on that sweet spot right under your earlobe, you let out the most tremendous moan Ben had ever heard
it suddenly became tighter in his pants than before
he took off his shirt and helped you remove yours
“God, you’re beautiful”
you could feel his bulge through your jeans, and you rocked your hips against him to create some friction
he whined into the kiss
“You keep doing this and I won’t last long, baby”
his words worked as a stop sign for you
not that you didn’t want to have sex with him, you just didn’t feel like you were ready to do it just after a week of knowing each other
Ben understood you completely
“I’ll wait as long as you want. I won’t pressure you into anything”
if you didn’t know you loved this man before, now you certainly did
so at this moment, you’ve been in a relationship for four months
and it was amazing
you spent Christmas together, watching movies and cuddling on the couch with Frankie
your dates are always filled with blissful and delightful moments
you may go to the park and just walk while talking and laughing at each other’s jokes
or you can spend the day at his place, watching TV and cuddling and making-out
you keep forgetting that he is eight years older than you
because it seems like he’s actually eighty-five
as he always grumbles about the silliest things
like
“stupid kids and their stupid ball”
“it barely touched you, Ben”
“well, it could hit me on the head!”
or
“this dog came straight up to Frankie and started barking! So I had a little backchat with her”
“what did you say to that dog?”
“I told her to back off and not to bother my daughter ever again”
“so you were basically screaming at the barking dog in the middle of the park at six in the morning”
“she was being rude to Frankie, y/n!”
such incidents happen all the time
but you don’t mind
you’re already too in love with each other
so once your birthday comes, you decide it’s the time to get rid of your virginity
you don’t really know what’s been holding you back since you two were sinning on a regular basis
like you’ve been practicing your blowjob skills
after you went down on Ben for the first time, he just lied in bed for a while and then said, “That was so fucking good, baby”
and you suddenly became really shy and flattered
and when he went down on you
oOF
you were a whining and trembling mess and he had to hold your hips firmly because you were squirming under him
you couldn’t walk properly after it for a couple of days
so now you are ready for another big step
and you know it should happen on your birthday
so you get prepared: you buy really pretty lingerie and put on the perfume that drives Ben crazy
as you have lectures at university and it’s just a regular weekday, you delay your twentieth birthday party to Friday
but it doesn��t mean you and Ben can’t have fun
so you drop at his place after uni
you also ran some errands before it, hung out with your family and came to him at about seven pm
when he opens the door, he pulls you into the most heated kiss you’ve ever experienced
“happy birthday, baby”
the dim lights and the candles all over his flat make your heart skip a beat
turns out he’s made you dinner, cooked your favorite meal and bought your fav cake
“it’s not everything you’re getting tonight”
and you know your panties are soaked through thanks to only the sound of his voice
you eat the dinner, talking about your day, and just smiling at each other
once you’re finished you decide it’s time
so you get up and come across the table, where Ben sits
and you sit down on his lap, your hands around his neck
he’s completely taken aback
“what are you doing, love?”, he asks in between kisses
he’s already a mess while you kiss his neck and run your hand through his hair
“I want you”
and you’re both breathing heavily as you look into each other’s eyes
“are you sure? We don’t have to do it now, you should-“
but you cut him off with a kiss“
I want it, Ben. I want you. I want to have sex with you”, you state firmly
he gulps and draws his lower lip between his teeth
his green eyes are now dark with lust and love
“you want it?” he whispers, kissing alongside your jaw. “Want me to make you feel good?”
and you just sigh and nod, cause you can’t speak already
so Ben picks you up bridal style and carries you to his bedroom
and – oh God – he makes you feel good indeed
you go in for two rounds before you fall asleep
you’re really happy Ben is your first
because he’s been really gentle and loving with you, asking if you were okay all the time, looking at you so tenderly that you almost started crying about how much you love him
so when you two lie in bed next to each other, panting and sweating
Ben takes a small gift bag out of his drawer
“here’s the actual gift for you”
he got you exactly what you wanted and also a necklace with the letter “F” on it
“stands for Frankie”, he explains, “thought giving the necklace with yours or my initials was boring. And now you’ll always carry our daughter with you”
you melt at “our daughter” and kiss him fondly
“thank you, Ben. I love it. I love you”
and it’s the first time you confess your feelings
his whole face brightens and he beams before kissing you
“I love you too, y/n. So much”
after that, you two start fucking like rabbits
you do it at every place, on every surface, in every position that’s possible
you also decide it’s a good time to take your relationship to a new level
which leads for both of you meeting each other’s families
Ben’s family is everything you could ever ask for
his mum is this amazing woman, who greets you with the most heartwarming smile 
you talk with his siblings about everything
and by the end of the night, you’re already in love with all of them as they’re with you
your family is on the opposite side of it, as your parents don’t approve of you dating an actor who’s eight years older than you
“y/n, he’s going to play with you and then ditch you for some pretty model!” you father says while you’re helping your mum to prepare dinner several hours before Ben’s about to come
“so you think I’m not pretty enough to date him?” you furrow your brows. “As if I already didn’t have issues with self-esteem, dad”
“darling, that’s not what your father means”, your mum chimes into the conversation. “He just thinks that Ben isn’t good enough for you because he’s an actor. He’ll always be away filming, and God knows how many women would be around him-“
“so you think just cause he’ll be away surrounded by other girls he’d want to cheat on me? That’s quite an opinion of someone whom you haven’t met”
“what we mean is that he has different things in mind”, your father continues. “He’ll be thirty in two years, he probably wants to settle down already. And you’re so young for it! You’ve got your whole life before you! Why would you want to waste it on someone who’s likely to break up with you when he realizes he doesn’t want to be with someone like you?”
your father’s last words are really hurtful
because you feel like he’s right, as you've got these thoughts floating in your mind the second Ben’s lips fell on yours several months ago
as your parents are clearly unhappy to see Ben you leave their house in the worst mood
they’re not actually against canceling the meeting with Ben because they don’t like him already
so you go to his place
and it breaks your heart when he opens the door, almost dressed up and excited to meet your parents
“hey, y/n! I’ve been actually thinking to call you. What tie should I-“
you push him away and come into his flat
“baby, is everything alright?” he comes up to you and cups your cheeks in his hands
as you lose the ability to fight the urge to cry, you shake your head and tears start running down your cheeks
“just hold me. Please”
later that night when you cuddle on the couch, you’re wearing one of his shirts and he’s caressing your sides gently
and Frankie’s sleeping in the armchair near you
Ben can’t stop whispering sweet, reassuring things into your ear
“I love you. I love you so much. No matter what happens, I’ll always love you. You’re my soulmate, my love, my everything. I love you. I won’t ever leave you. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted”
you don’t bring up the topic of meeting Ben to your parents after this
they can’t actually stop you from dating Ben
and they cannot do anything when he asks you to move in with him
and you happily agree
you become even more inseparable since you start living together
you also go official on social media
Ben posts a pic of you playing with Frankie with a heart-emoji in the caption
and everyone goes wild
especially your groupmates from uni, who bombard you with questions on a daily basis
your best friend brushes them all off and you’re incredibly thankful to her
some people on social media are rude to you, but you ignore them because the rest of Ben’s fans are really nice and sweet
they somehow found your tumblr and tagged you in one smutty fic about you and Ben someone has written
Ben and you recreate it later
everything goes just perfect
you’re both crazily in love with each other
and you can’t wait to spend the rest of your lives together

Rewatching Syren
The little mermaid is my favourite ondertale episode
Tumblr media
What kind of dystopia do these poor Parisians live in where stuff like this is happening even when there aren’t akuma attacks going on??? ignore Pocahontas in the corner okay that’s just the Disney Channel thing, the sequel sucks anyway
Tumblr media
Uh just a warning. So, I know in these rewatching ml posts I always harp on about Kimax this, Kimax that, Kimax Kimax Kimax. But the truth is that after 2 seconds of seeing Ondine onscreen I already wanted her to marry Kim so be prepared for me screeching over Kimdine a lot in this thing okay, I am TRASH and I’m not even sorry about it
Tumblr media
How much do you wanna bet Kim has broken every single one of these rules multiple times
Tumblr media
HE PINNED HIS TOWEL TO HIS SHOULDERS LIKE A CAPE, HE’S SUCH A DORK I LOVE HIM???
Tumblr media
I love Ondine so much too, she’s basically buff freckly Ariel and she’s so cute oh my god freckles for days
Tumblr media
Okay so the sign’s in a bunch of different languages and I’m 99% sure Kim has ignored it many, many times
Tumblr media
He didn’t put his goggles on when he went underwater, and actually neither of their swimming caps cover all their hair ugh they’re both disasters, I love them
Tumblr media
She’s BLUSHING and everything how does Kim not notice this??? He’s all like “oh that boy you like must be so dumb lol” well yeah Kim, yeah HE IS
Tumblr media
Can I gush for a second about Ondine’s design?? They actually made her look like a swimmer, like with big shoulders and arms everything, and she’s fairly tall, and she’s got freckles everywhere (at least 40 on her face alone, I counted) and thick eyebrows and it all just makes her super GORGEOUS like yes can we get more character designs like these please?? (And KIM OH MY GOD LOOK AT YOU you’ve got it bad and you don’t even realize skdjfhksjdhkj)
Tumblr media
Oh btw Ondine’s bracelet is 023 and Kim’s is 024, in case you wanted some useless information
Tumblr media
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we, as a fandom, are sleeping on the fact that Kim can stick his toe in his ear and that Ondine thinks it’s cute and this is actually a canon thing that is canon
Tumblr media
He even passes her the notebook with his feet?? Sometimes I wonder what she sees in him but then I remember I want to adopt him so like, there must be something
Tumblr media
Reason #3274598347 why Kimdine are a great couple: they really must trust each other a hell of a lot considering they literally have a game where they spill their secrets to each other, like, they’re already close friends and know so much about each other and oh okay I may be using this rewatching post to just gush about my fav underrated canon otp oops
Tumblr media
He still likes Chloé at this point? Really?? Really??? (And he’s just gonna casually leave the pool before knowing for sure that the animal attack is over? I guess he just expects to be able to outrun those panthers huh)
Tumblr media
SHE EVEN DREW HEARTS ON IT AND EVERYTHING, THAT’S SO ADORABLE??? KIM PLEASE NOTICE HER OKAY I WILL PERFORM THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY MYSELF
Tumblr media
In the English dub at this point he literally calls her a “little mermaid”, huh maybe that Pocahontas icon in the corner isn’t totally irrelevant after all (also he implies this is nowhere near the first time Ondine has tried to confess her feelings, so basically Kim can join Adrien in the “she’s just a friend” club)
Tumblr media
RENA’S BAAAAAAACK AHHH I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AGAIN, ALYA GETS TO BE A HERO AGAIN AND I’M SO PROUD
Tumblr media
That eyeliner
Tumblr media
Grumpy Chat gives me life okay, it’s so funny to me for some reason
Tumblr media
Uh... it’s not just me who thinks Rena looks really, really pale, is it?
Tumblr media
Alya just straight-up flirts with Ladybug, she’s not even being subtle
Tumblr media
WHEN ONDINE CRIES I CRY
Tumblr media
The lifeguard doesn’t even wait a second when Syren turns up, he just starts running, what a mood
Tumblr media
MARKOV IS BACK!!! MY LIL ROBOT BABY!!! And Max too, I’m always glad to see him
Tumblr media
I genuinely want to watch Mecha Monkey vs Cyber Shark 3 though
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kim’s hair really Did That
Tumblr media
Question: did Markov need a ticket?
Tumblr media
Look at Kim in the background being sad that Chloé didn’t show up omg
Tumblr media
Tfw the guy you like is so oblivious that you cry enough to flood an actual city
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WHY ARE ALL KWAMIS ALWAYS SO ADORABLE *flips table*
Tumblr media
I’m actually really proud of Marinette, she’s been put into such a tough situation where she wants to tell Chat Noir the truth but isn’t allowed, and she’s trying to do something to change that because she trusts him and understands his frustration
Tumblr media
Mmmmm cronchy
Tumblr media
This lil elephant decor got me thinking, how cool would an elephant miraculous be?
Tumblr media
This poor boy is just sitting alone being emo when he’s attacked by the floods
Tumblr media
HNSDFJSHDNFJSHDF I’M NOT OVER THIS
Tumblr media
I’m not Plagg or anything but that stuff genuinely sounds really good okay
Tumblr media
My little brother’s reaction to Plagg hyperventilating into a sock was “big mood” and honestly? Tea
Tumblr media
CLASSMATES!!! Nino getting a slight amount of screentime!! Good stuff
Tumblr media
What’s Max up to? “Psst Markov, do you think Kim will ever love me?” He looks sad okay I wanna give him a hug
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah yes, my favourite companies, “Cinema Productions” and “Film Studio”
Tumblr media
Alya clinging onto Nino!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
An interesting thing is that while Syren is one of the nicest (if not THE nicest) akuma villains, I’m pretty sure she has the highest death toll by far. Tidal waves and mass flash-flooding in a major city?? Thousands and thousands of people have gotta be dead and you know it, like imagine if she’d accidentally killed Kim too, that would have been awkward
Tumblr media
Marinette and Alya being heroes and making sure everyone got out okay omg, they’re heroes even without the mask
Tumblr media
There really are not many survivors up on these rooftops, are there...
Tumblr media
Kim is just on another level of Iconic entirely??? Paris is flooded with his future bae’s tears and he puts on a swimming cap and goggles (which he doesn’t use) and immediately leaps into the water, and then tells Markov (who is a tiny robot and allergic to water) to learn to swim like a frog, what even goes through his brain
Tumblr media
THEIR FACES AKJFHKSDJHFSKJDHKG
Tumblr media
*dun dun dun dun dun dun DUN DUN DUN DUN*
Tumblr media
“KIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!!” Here is the mandatory Kimax part of the rewatching post -- Max is so worried for Kim??? He’s the first one to react and the only one to like, properly react??? Ugh my multishipper heart
Tumblr media
The fact that Alix went to look means either she does at least slightly care about Kim, or she’s just super hyped to watch him drown, and I’m not sure which is funnier tbh she’s so fake though unlike Alya she just stands there not even trying to look
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Me trying to row anything, ever
Tumblr media
Alix has one single line in the entire episode and as usual, it’s the BEST line
Tumblr media
*physically restrains myself from making a Shape of Water reference because it’s been done so many times by now*
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My small brother laughs a lot at this scene because he says it reminds him of the time Chat Noir put a bowl on Prince Ali’s head and now I can’t unsee it
Tumblr media
This hurts me in my soul okay, she wants to tell him but she caaaaaan’t
Tumblr media
Huh, Fu managed to get a lot of stuff up on the roof with him, how’d he have time for that?
Tumblr media
Lemme just cover my nonexistent ears for a sec
Tumblr media
The best thing about this scene is that all the jokes Marinette tells aren’t even funny, I’m honestly cackling with laughter
Tumblr media
AQUATIKKI. AQUATIC. I ONLY JUST GOT THAT OMG
Tumblr media
Also?? These new costumes??? I love them holy moly
Tumblr media
Fu has cobra venom... bro... listen I researched that stuff for a certain fic and uh you don’t want that stuff lying around, trust me, it is NOT A PLEASANT WAY TO GO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I know my first reaction to this should not be laughter, but it’s just so funny seeing Adrien being bratty for once okay this is g r e a t, ah yes Paris being FLOODED and UNDER ATTACK is a very good time to take off your ring
Tumblr media
Heartfelt Plagg!!! I love him
Tumblr media
So uh... if Kim is Syren’s prince... does that make him... Prince Kim... AHEM ANYWAYS that throne she made for him is so cute and I can’t believe he doesn’t even care that he got kidnapped by an akuma villain ‘cause hey, it’s a hot shredded mermaid therefore Kim’s a scalie and it’s CANON
Tumblr media
So he’s all like “I’ve never seen a siren at the pool before??” which means that 1. He doesn’t realize she’s an akuma villain, he just genuinely thinks she’s a siren who actually lives in Paris, and 2. he knows what a siren is and doesn’t put 2+2 together that this particular siren has chosen him as prey and is luring him into staying underwater with her forever
Tumblr media
I legit think about this scene every single day. The writers were probably like “okay so we need a mermaid episode, which kid in the class would be most likely to be seduced by a m-- KIM. IT WOULD BE KIM.” He’s just realized this freckly fish is Ondine and that she’s in love with him and just... hhhh I have a lot of feels it’s like 1am okay
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He wants to be a merman so that he can swim fast, that’s so Kim of him I’m in tears omg, Syren doesn’t even care she’s just being a creepy fish with 100 freckles on her face (I counted) tempting him into staying with her at whatever cost
Tumblr media
Asjdhskdjhfksjd he KNOWS she’s an akuma villain and still wants to kiss her?? Well to be fair Ondine’s evil yandere mersona is very pretty and Kim never really uses his brain for thinking, so... yeah
Tumblr media
“Okay so I want to kiss u but I also wanna watch this movie DO U SEE MY DILEMMA” I love his reasoning so much
Tumblr media
My exact reaction on seeing Ladybug’s new outfit
Tumblr media
Look how happy she is to see Chatfish in his new costume!! Bless them both tbh, I’m a lil sad we didn’t get to see Aqua-Plagg though, how amazing would that have been
Tumblr media
Kim geeking out over their costumes is not only such a mood but also it’s adorable and oh shoot I ship him with Ladybug too, I have too many Kim ships I swear
Tumblr media
HE LOOKS SO SAD WHEN HE’S TALKING ABOUT HOW ONDINE GOT AKUMATIZED?? I’m like 99% sure at this point he’s realized he likes her too and probably feels so bad about unknowingly causing her to be upset enough to get akumatized omg my HEART okay I should stop endlessly gushing over Kimdine now shouldn’t I
Tumblr media
“You wanna know my secret???” Okay wait, was he... was he about to stick his toe in his ear in front of Ladybug
Tumblr media
Oooh do French numberplates actually do this thing? like, have numbers on top of each other like that? That’s pretty interesting
Tumblr media
I work at a doctor’s surgery and I can tell you now, even Master Fu’s handwriting is more legible than half the stuff I have to decipher written by those darn doctors
Tumblr media
ERBAL EDARIUM
Tumblr media
I wonder what would happen if Tom actually ate one of those
Tumblr media
You gotta love how unsubtle that Frozer foreshadowing is
Tumblr media
For the first time in the episode, she’s actually wearing her goggles!
Tumblr media
The fact that he asks her out?? Using their secrets game?? Is just so sweet?? They just care about each other so much look at them?? Ugh just get married already you freaking scalie disaster jocks
Tumblr media
I know Nathalie’s sorting out a schedule but it kiiiinda looks like she’s playing Tetris lol
Tumblr media
UHHH HEY MASTER FU?? QUICK QUESTION, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ADRIEN’S CHINESE TUTOR?? HE’S NOT... SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES... IS HE?
Tumblr media
YEAH ME TOO ADRIKINS, I’M HELLA SUSPISH
Tumblr media
On the one hand Gabe yelling at Nooroo makes me want to punch him, but on the other hand he’s literally asking outright how to become a mermaid
Tumblr media
THERE’S AQUA-PLAGG!! YES!!! I know this end card was more cringey originally and they changed it, but it’s still cringey ngl
(And idk where else to put this but fun fact: there’s a Septimus Heap book called Syren and it’s rly good, it doesn’t have any fishybugs and chatfish in it but it’s good)

Some time ago I made relationship headcanons for my favs (and my friend's too) and I've kept them in my notes and never would I have thought to post them but here I am doing this for.... idk man I just want to force myself to post more of my own stuff on there. Here y'all go, tell me what you think and don't be shy to share your own headcanons!!!!
Poke villains sfw boyfriends edition
Giovanni
First date would be the very stereotyped Italian restaurant because come on, what else for a mafia boss? As a boyfriend ADORE public display of affection. He makes sure everyone around you two knows you're HIS and his only. In private, you two watch angsty romantic movies and cuddle with luxury wine. You get to go out at least once a week, the day being different each time. He wants it to be a surprise every time and make you fall in love with him over again every time you two go out, whatever it is that you'll be doing.
Proton
Your first date together would be at a parc d'attraction! You'd especially do all the skills games and every time you fail one, he'd do it for you and win you all the price (he won't let you know he practiced for weeks before the date). He doesn't like to show his loving side but if some other person tried to flirt with you, he'll get really aggressive. Maybe threaten them with a knife. If you try to calm him down, he'll get the hint that he's making you uncomfortable and will resort to making out with you in front of them while glaring at them. In private, he always tries to have physical contact. Either it be petting your head, holding hands or groping your ass, he looks for physical comfort. He doesn't plan dates that often so if you wanna go out you gotta tell him about it. He'll plan it all afterward.
Hunter J
First date is a walk in the woods and stargazing. She spent days scouting the best hiking route and relaxing spots to make sure you get the best experience out of it. After that, she walks you home and kiss you goodnight, blushing madly. When you two go out, she likes to hold your hand. She gets cocky every time someone looks at you, she won't hesitate to call the person out and bring them down about how they'll never get her "precious angel". At home thought she's easily flustered. When you two cuddle she gets nervous and if you kiss her out of nowhere, she's gonna freeze and then blush madly again. She loves it when you cook for her so the dates are more like planned extravagant suppers at home.
Lawrence 3
The first date would simply be you two in his room, him showing his all his Pokemon goodies and collections. He's a huge nerd and couldn't help but show you all he's acquired in his life. You two wouldn't very often go out but when you do, you awkwardly stand next to each others. He doesn't like PDA, but if you really insist, you will get to brush his hand with yours from time to time. If someone tries to flirt with you, he'll grab your hand and walk away fast from the scene so you two can resume what you were doing in peace. He's slightly better at home thought. He insist on doting on you, doing everything for you. He's been alone for so long that he's become an expert in chores so he doesn't mind, he says. You basically got yourself a nerdy butler!
Archie (oras)
FIRST DATE AT THE AQUARIUM! He shows off his ocean knowledge approximately every 13 seconds, hoping to impress you! At home, you two like to have fun and play all kind of games. He prefer wrestling, but he's up for some video or board games if that's what you prefer (even thought he doesn't really like board games...). He likes to put you in his laps and rest his chin on your head, and he absolutely wants to be the big spoon to hold you the closer he can!! He takes you often to the beach or on boat tours, so you can get to appreciate the sea as much as him! He doesn't even let others have the time to look at you, he always has an arm around your shoulders, or even you sitting on his shoulders!
N (mmhhh yes I like him,,,,, like, a lot )
On the first date, he introduces you to all of his Pokemon friends. You all go to the forest to make sure you get to meet everyone and you play with them all day long as soon as they get used to you. He wants to make sure you're someone with a good heart who cares for pokemons. When you two go out, it's usually also in the forest or at the parc d'attraction. He doesn't hold your hand but when your shoulders brush, you can see him glance at you and smile slightly. If some stranger tries to get touchy-feely with you, he'll coldly smile at them and tell them you're already his. If they continue thought, he'll start growling and bare his teeth at them. When they finally leave, he'll blush and excuse himself for his weird manerism. At home you two cook a lot together, for yourselves and the pokemons. The house is filled with them and lots of plants too! He can't for the love of Arceus get a job so you have to work longer hours, but he makes it up by making your own garden to help with food and massaging your shoulders to help you relax!
Colress
The first date, well, wasn't exactly a date. You showed up at the Plasma Brigade like he asked you and you go to witness this man's facial expression pass from confused to surprised, then guilt and shame. He completely forgot. So you two got in, ordered all the takouts you could find online and you watched him work on his inventions while talking. It was still nice despite him forgetting about the date in the first place...! For other dates tho, he likes to take you to a lot of any kinds of expositions. Art, music or (especially) science, he likes to wander around with you and talk (mostly judge) everything you two see. If someone tries to get you right under his nose, he'll casually take a taser out of Arceus knows where and playfully threatens them with it. You.... often get kicked out of places because of this, so you go back home and do the same as your first date! At home, you notice how he doesn't take care of himself when he works so you always have to remind him to take breaks to eat, shower and all that. When you get your alone time with him, you often just cuddle in a comfortable silence.... until he falls hard asleep on you.
Shadow triad (I like ninjas ok I'll make it work out!......somehow.)
You.... never really went on a date. One day, you simply turned around in the dark on your room, feeling like you were being watched. And you were. They were there, in the middle of your room, observing. You flipped your balls off obviously but one of them softly restrained you so you would calm down. One of them said to not worry, that they were going to protect you. Very tired and now confused as fuck, you nodded and went back to sleep, thinking it was only a dream. After that, it seemed like life was extra good to you. The house always seems a little bit cleaner than the day before (the dishes actually cleaned themselves??!), every time you're about to trip it feels like you're being lifted up and you don't, and you never seem to encounter any more creeps that wants to jump in your pants. Eventually you remember your dream and try to call the mysterious trio out.... and they answer. They "poof into existance" and await your orders. They're surprised (even if it doesn't show) that you ask them to be more present if they really intend to stick around. You'd rather have friends than shadow bodyguards observing your every moves. And so they do. They don't conceal their appearance around you anymore, and you guys hang out in your own house, doing whatever you feel like at the moment.
Lysandre
The first date is in his own cafe, him acting as your barista. He kicked everyone else out and made sure that the closed sign was turned so it would be only you two and there would be no slip up. Anything you want on his menu, he'll cook to perfection. He tries to keep it slow but memorable on the first date, trying to impress you without being overbearing. Because if he does gets his second date well..... you two go shopping and you physically have to stop him from instant buying everything you look at for more than 3 seconds. He actually did that directly on the second date so you learned from it. Also yiu never seem to encounter anyone to disturb your dates.... thats because he engages security guards to take out anyone who looks at you with interest. He'll take that secret to his grave tho--. At home he also tries to do everything for you, to make you feel like a queen. If you want to do a few chores yourself like laundry or cooking, you have to convince him for a few hours but then he'll let you do what you want. Wouldn't want you to feel like a burden in your own house! You two likes to cuddle on the couch and watch documentaries while snacking on little apéro. He likes it when you your head on his shoulders or laps, so he can pet you!
Guzma
So we all know that Team Skull isn't the richest organisation around... but that doesn't stopped his boss from inviting you in the fanciest restaurant in all of Alola for your first date. He literally spent months scrapping all the money he could to invite you there and get himself a new change of cleaner clothes to try and impress you. After that one thought he'll feel bad for taking you on simple walks around the isles with Tapu-cocoa, but he have the best sightseeing spots so you have to tell him that it was as enjoyable as the first time when you see him looking down. He'll look at you with so much pride and love in his eyes-- If anyone tries to get you away from him, he'll snap his fingers and some of his grunts will just appear out of seemingly nowhere (he knows they try to spy on his dates since they have nothing better to do, better use then to his advantage right?) so you two can escape and resume your date. At home, you two simply like to relax, playing video games or watching action movies. Life is good in Alola.

Movie Dates with ASTRO
this is a long thread!
Tumblr media
MJ
Tumblr media
would probably choose a comedy movie
would buy the largest size of popcorn and accidentally spill some on the way to your seats
you actually die of embarrassment around him
he would laugh at the serious moments in the movie
i kid you not this grown man would very quietly not so quietly murmur "that's what she said" 
you wanted to die but it was amusing
would embarrass you by turning around to the kids sitting behind you
"this is my girlfriend (Y/N)"
"MJ what are you doi-"
"isn't she pretty?"
the kids would nod their heads and MJ would smile not before growing serious and suddenly snapping
"she's mine though, understood?!"
poor children would widen their eyes and you would give MJ a >:( look
MJ would give you a ;) look
whenever something remotely funny happened he would look at your face to see your reaction
turns out you kept a straight face the whole movie
bc
the movie wasn't funny
after the movie ended MJ would act clingy and cute
"did you like the movie?"
"hmm it was okay"
he would whine
"you're not satisfied?"
"no if you had fun then i'm satisfied"
"let's movie hop to whatever movie you would like"
"isn't that illegal"
"it's not illegal as long as you don't get caught"
MJ would make sure you had fun by randomly snickering comments in your ear which made you two burst in laughter
throw popcorn at eachother and look away pretending as if nothing happened
annoy the employees by constantly refilling popcorn
end up watching every movie in the theater
you two are probably banned tbh
in the end it doesn’t matter
the funnest time you’ve ever had at the movies
Jinjin
Tumblr media
lets you make all the decisions
doesn't care what movie it is
just wants to spend time with you
ends up watching a movie about dogs
jinjin would subconsciously coo "aww" under his breath whenever a dog showed up
so like
during the whole movie
you learned that jinjin loves dogs
he would mutter in your ear
"let's get a dog"
seveRAL times
"how about that breed?"
"what do you think? small or big dog?"
you would just scoff but squeeze his cheeks
"you're so cute"
would hold your hand during the entire film
would randomly tap on your shoulder
"what do you want?"
"can you hold this?"
he would stick his hand in his jacket
his hands pops back up with a finger heart
would look at you proudly
"i'm such a cute boyfriend"
you would roll your eyes but return the heart
"jinjin look here"
you would pretend to look for something in your pockets
"did you forget your wallet? it's ok i paid" he would worriedly ask
"found it!" you would exclaim
sticks your hand back up
BAM! finger heart
he would uncontrollably smile
by the time you two are out of the theaters
guess what
a dog died at the end
jinjin is literally sobbing
you hug him and soothe him
"it's ok jinjin... he's in a better place now"
he cries harder and grips onto you tightly
"snowball didn't deserve that..."
"i understand"
he would be sniffing continuously on the drive home
"babe..." 
he takes out his phone and starts typing passionately
"what are you doing?"
"i'm writing a five star review on the movie"
Eunwoo
Tumblr media
chose whatever movie you wanted
paid for your ticket although you insisted it was fine
"(Y/N) i'm supposed to be paying you'll make me look bad"
"fine but i'm paying next time"
loves how stubborn you are about it
constantly asking if you want anything
"want some popcorn? or anything else? ice cream? mozzerella sticks? nachos?"
in the theater he would laugh inside at you
because you were like
about to fall asleep
your eyelids were giving up on you
your head kept falling
you tried your best to stay awake but
the 
movie
was 
boring 
he would notice how tired you were
wouldn't say anything but would lift the seat divider up
tucks you inside his humongous winter coat
you would snuggle inside since it was warm
wraps his arms around you 
kisses your forehead when he notices you fall asleep
lowkey grateful the date turned out like this
he was never interested in the movie in the first place
your eyebrows would scrunch up suddenly
he would be alarmed
it would look like you're in pain
he would rub your back soothingly
gives you multiple kisses
your expression would wash off your face upon feeling his touch
now you're smiling in your sleep
his heart is aching
he's trying not to fanboy right then and there
he loves you so much
when the movie ends he would nudge your shoulder
"(Y/N) wake up sleeping beast"
when you fully regain conscious you would be embarrased
"u-uh sorry if I ruined the date"
he would laugh
because
you made the date better than he would even imagine
"let's do this more" 
he would say and wink
you die out of humiliation
Moonbin
Tumblr media
moonbin would buy the whole food shop
like
actually
"hi can i get two large sodas, large buttered popcorn, an ice cream bar, oh do you guys have chicken nuggets? yeah? i'll take that 2 lmfaO. no wtf im not done. some mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders- what do you mean the bill is over $50? scuse me im an idol"
s m h
during the movies you two would just be talking the whole time
honestly what was the point of going if you two were just gonna have  nice conversation
everybody looking at u 2 because
on moonbin's lap are the chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and drinks
on your lap would be the chicken nuggets, and whatever tf he ordered
a F E A S T
everyone lowkey hates u guys
bc 
the chicken nuggets smelled good
and u two were conversing so casually
a kid actually kicked your guys' seat
"can u shut up i can't hear"
"scuse me i'm an idol"
"u dont look like one"
you had to restrain this GROWN man from fighting some 10 year old
don't worry about leftovers
legend says that moonbin inhales the food
you two would be having a pick up line war
"hey baby. tie your shoelaces i dont want u falling for anybody else"
"are you a laptop? bc you can make my lap warm."
"wtf was that dirty"
"no omg i swear i didnt mean it like that"
"lets break up"
a forceful kick to moonbin's chair
"SHUT THE F-"
you 2 were kicked out
what gives
the food wasnt that gr8 anyways
"its the theater's fault. shouldve put more interesting movies so we wouldnt chatter so much"
"yeah" you groaned "long movies are boring anyways"
"you know what else is lon-"
legend says that moonbin still flinches whenever you slightly raise your foot

"...we're not even watching the new lego movie."
THIS KID WOULD JUST WALK UP TO THE MANAGER AND ASK FOR AN EXCHANGE OF TICKETS
"I THOUGHT WE WERE WATCHING THE NEW LEGO MOVIE WTF (Y/N)"
"YOU SAID I COULD CHOOSE"
"BUT WE'RE A TELEPATHIC COUPLE. I SENT U A MESSAGE TO CHOOSE THE NEW LEGO MOVIE."
you would massage your temples in frustration
angry -> happy when the manager lets him exchange it
in the theaters he'd be so happy
"u can be the wyldstyle to my emmet"
"mkay."
he would pout
"babe i put a lot of thinking into that pickup line so i really dont appreciate it when you start doing this to me because like i put so much in this relationshi-"
u would stuff popcorn in his mouth so he can shut up
his eyes would intently follow the movie
hes so into it!!

scrunches up face when the bad guy does something bad
widen eyes at intense scenes
when unikitty popped up on the screen
tHIS BOI
"OMG UNIKITTY!" he would scream
rips open his jacket and reveals a unikitty shirt
whole theater glaring at him
you are actually hiding in your sweater
"pls kill me"
after the movie
"minhyuk this relationship isnt working"
"wdym lol"
"you're a disgrace to me"
"huh"
"uR LIKE IN COLLEGE AND YOU'RE WEARING A UNIKITTY SHIRT TO THE MOVIES."

"sry babe next time ill get a shirt with YOUR face on it"
"wow thanks"
"mhm np"
Sanha
Tumblr media
"w-why'd u choose a horror movie"
you had to drag this tall baby in the theaters
"i don't want to..." he would whine
"please sanha"
you would perform your aegyo on him
shooting him finger hearts and comfort
"sanha u r a man u can do this"
upon hearing he's a man he'd be like
"oK i can do this i'm a man"
clinging onto your arm during the whole movie
would close his eyes and bury his face in your arm
"tell me when its over"
you would pet his floof hair
"its ok sanha, you're my brave knight arent you?"
he immediately recomposes himself and sits up straight
"yes. your majesty i will save u"
few minutes in and he gave up
is actually hugging you full on
not even watching the movie
"sanha... the movie's done now"
after u two are out the theaters
"THAT WAS AN EASY MOVIE I CAN WATCH ANYTHING NOW"
proud of himself
it was cute but
"really? wanna watch the sequel?"
sanha would loudly gulp
"um."
when he would drop you off at your house
he would be stalling time
"sanha you can go now"
"u-uh..."
"r u scared lol"
"lolololol hahahah wdym"

cuddling with you the entire night
he would sort of flinch in his sleep
or his body would jump suddenly

u would kiss his forehead and wake him up
"are you ok?"
he would stare at you
and
HE WOULD PERFORM THE "I DREAMED OF A GHOST" AEGYO
"pls go back to sleep and never wake up"

i was tagged to do this skam meme by the lovely siiri @isaksbestpillow ayyyy :}
Name/nickname/whatever you prefer to be called? aino. i actually really like my name so heyy story time: the origin of my name is the word “ainoa”, meaning “the only one”. the name first appeared in our national epic kalevala and the story of aino is, well, tragic. in short, aino’s brother happens across this old powerful dude called väinämöinen and they have a singing contest of sorts, which aino’s brother loses, so he makes a deal with väinämöinen: spare my life and you get to marry my sister. cool stuff, right? so aino hears the news and it makes her absolutely miserable... and to avoid the fate of marrying this unknown old man, she walks into a river and drowns herself. great stuff! hahah
i don’t really have a lot of nicknames but if you want to know how my name’s pronounced it’s basically just “i know” except the ‘no’ is like a spanish ‘no’, if that explains it?? i lived in the us for a while and no one got my name when i said it the finnish way so i had to just start saying “i know” to everyone. one girl decided to call me “i know what you did last summer”, which, eh...
Pronouns? she/her
Age? 27. ten years older than (most of) the skam gang, ayyy
Fav Skam character? isak. i actually had trouble falling asleep last night and my thoughts kept coming back to isak and why he’s my favourite and i ended up saving this incredibly rambly text post in my drafts but, i’m not sure i’ll ever post it. umm, but i’m like, shockingly attached to isak emotionally? my thoughts are sort of all over the place right now so it’s hard to put this stuff into words but one of the things that really strike me when it comes to isak is his relationship with his parents. i keep thinking about it, i keep wondering about how long things were really bad at home and what it was like when his dad left and he only had his mom there, his mom who really couldn’t take care of him properly. i keep thinking about how it seems the pain got too much for him so he sort of shut off parts of himself, numbed himself a little, and that’s the isak we see in s2 and the beginning of s3. i keep thinking about those texts he gets from his mother about how he was washed!!!! and how he’s supposed to be clean now or something and how isak is so sure his mom will reject him and think of him as dirty if she finds out he’s gay. did she ramble to him like that when he lived with her?
but then also i keep thinking about the hopeful and happy parts, how he always listens when people are talking about serious things. he listens to all the people around him who challenge his views in important ways: he listens to sana, eskild, magnus. he’s not too proud to change his opinions. he grows so much as a person and it’s inspiring to watch? he has his faults, sure, but still. he’s my favourite.
When did you start watching Skam? i had a really stressful november full of work and i had to physically restrain myself from watching skam so i wouldn’t fail two important courses... but when i was free of that, ep8 of s3 had just come out and i was dying to see how mental illness was portrayed in the show. i began with s1&2 but i just knew s3 was going to own my soul. it did. it does.
When did you make your blog? i've had this one since 2011
Who are you cheering for to be s4′s main? so..... i really would love it to be even because like most people, i think it’s the only chance of having him as a main. but if that doesn’t happen, i 100% believe it should be sana.
Who do you think is most likely to be s4′s main? i feel like all the signs are pointing towards sana. she better be one of the remaining mains! i really want her pov and in terms of representation it’s so incredibly important that she gets her own season
What are your main interests? i love everything about reading, i love losing myself in a story and being in a different reality for some time. stories with elements of fantasy/science fiction are my favourites. i also love watching movies and tv shows. i often prefer living in two parallel realities, or not completely in my own i guess..? i’m fascinated by linguistics and interested in social justice but i’m still learning the skill of not letting things get to me so deeply. i do think empathy is one of my best traits but sometimes it’s just too much. music... i don’t know what i’d do without music. when everything else fails, there’s music
Something you’re always up to discuss? anything i’ve already mentioned in this post that’s getting waaay too long. also, cats, the lion king, soft and sleepy things, fanfiction, mental illness, feminism, harry potter... the list is endless, feel free to talk to me, honestly!
Something you refuse to discuss? hmm. i don’t really want to talk about the personal lives of the skam actors unless it’s something they’ve wanted to share with all of us. eh, i don’t know what else to include here
Other favorite shows aside from Skam? i miss in the flesh!! the first two seasons of my mad fat diary were excellent but i haven’t touched on the trainwreck that is s3. twin peaks is amazing. community was good until it got bad. if you want something lovely and uplifting i recommend wonderfalls! the x-files is a ride i enjoyed (not a fan of s7-> though). i was into teen wolf but then allison wasn’t in the show anymore and i stopped watching. also pushing daisies, fringe, brooklyn nine-nine, parks and rec, veronica mars, stranger things, the get down...
I tag: i.... think siiri is the only mutual i have that watches skam so i can’t really tag anyone? but hey, if you’re following me and watch skam, feel free to do this and tag me in it if you want to!
