if you saw the other one no you didn't
someone's John dory ask got eaten and I can't find my previous draft on it 😔
A/N -> I'll be starting school soon again so I won't be able to write as many fanfics as right now, but still send it requests! I just won't be able to publish them as fast as before 😅
but anyways (this is way longer than my last one damn)
John dory x reader headcanons
Tumblr media
okay let's get one thing straight
this man has been in the wild for over idk how many years
he probably is secretly touch starved
and he's probably really bad at flirting
let's say this is after the events of TBT, so he's back in society again (probably)
hes bumped into you a few times and during those few times it was just some small talk here and there
but then when he bumped into you again he decided to flirt
with a terrible pick up line
after he said that he gave a look that was like "Yep, still got it"
he does not got it
you just looked at him, looked away and snorted
he thinks it's working
it might be
without him asking, you gave him your number on a peice of paper
there was a small not under the number (yall choose idk what to put) with a small heart at the end
(ur stinky but funny ❤️) (I sorry I had to😭😭)
he didn't read the note, he js put it on his wall in a frame
he was the first to text you
just a simple "Hi this is John dory"
and you know how some people type something but not send it?
he did that
"PLEASE PLEASE DATE ME 🙏🙏" then he deleted it to respond 'normally' to your text
after a few weeks of talking to each other you were the first to ask if he wanted to go on a date
he probably has never responded so fast to someone on his life
I js had to add this but he probably lost his other glove bc Rhonda ate it
anyways back on track
the first date you two went on was at a small Cafe (idk I panicked😭)
you two talked about a hunch of stuff but then settled on the topic of bands
one of your favorite band was BroZone
his eyes visibly lit up at the word BroZone
asks a bunch on questions like "who's your favorite band member" or "what's you favorite song"
takes his SWEET TIME telling you he's THE John Dory from BroZone
so many questions from both him and you
but after that date he offers to walk you home
and that's also how he got your address
a few more dates later he's the one to make the first move
a small text saying to meet him up at the Cafe they had their first date in
hes already there looking a bit flustered
after you two sit down he asks if you want to date
and that's how yall start dating (I am so sleepy rn guys)
every now and then he would send small gifts to you like flowers, candies, anything that reminds him of you at almost any store he goes to
he likes compliments, both giving and receiving them
when he's spending the day at your place he likes to cuddle with you
or hold you in any way
hug, hand holding, any touch basically
LOVES when you kiss him
like pepper him with kisses and he's melting
grab a bucket and mop he's gone
when he first introduced you to his brothers they had many questions
when Poppy met you (probably through Branch)
you two both bonded over dating a member of brozone
as you and Poppy were fangirling over them JD just looked at you lovingly
like he almost forgot his brothers were there
he loves you too much
he also gets you free tickets and backstage passes to every single one of BroZone's concerts
you've never missed a single concert
and you have way to much merch (mostly JD's merch) (and it's signed with his signature)
I think I might end it here bc I'm running out of ideas and any longer to post this would end up taking longer to post because school starts in like 2 says for me 😭😭 anyways I hope this was good for whoever asked this and again so sorry I lost your ask! I hope you have a great day/night!!

Little things I loved in Haunted Mansion (2023)
I just saw Haunted Mansion for a second time, and yall,it's good. The way they were able to blend the horror with the goofy and make it feel like the ride. amazing.
(Spoilers under the cut) here's all the little things I loved about the movie
1- this ones probably not anything but a coincidence but when Ben and Alyssa first meet the streamers are placed between them. I grew up Mormon (its complicated now) and whenever we drew the veil between life and death it was always a bunch of squiggly lines, like the streamers. Idk if that's like a thing in other religions too but I just thought it was interesting.
2- Gabby straight up saying "Nah. We're out." The second she noticed the spooky shit. Its an accurate and appropriate response that's not really used in this genre.
3- on that note I love the idea that they were basically forced to come back/stay. It advances the narrative and keeps them at the setting but it's not a bottle episode. Or movie.
4- Forced 👏 proximity 👏found👏family. They're all in the same room like 90% of the time no matter where they're at. And when they split the party for too long shit goes down.
5- Ben talking about his wife and his grief. The whole scene with him telling his friends about her and how she died, and Bruce almost immediately making a probably not appropriate joke that just made everyone laugh. It felt so real, like a real conversation. And the ghost winks. I have definently had those in my life but never had a name for it
6- Also the way they talk about grief?! Howthey show different characters dealing with it. How no matter who it is its like "you're hurting.it's ok. Let's get through it together" amazing.
7- The entire cast brought their A game in this movie. They knew what kind of movie this was and totally went with it
8- They ride references were amazing. The stretching room. the doom buggy chair. The forever hallway. Constance Hatchaway. Gracey. THE HAT BOX GHOST. Crump being the last name of one of the imagineers and his manor looking like the ride in wdw.
9- The music was so good! The jazz influence. SUPERSTITION. Grim Grinning Ghosts being prominent but not overwhelming. I wish the ending song was longer though.
10- the way they showed the passage of time with the moon phases and different outifts
11- Gabby and Ben's relationship remaining undefined. Imo this was not the time for them to get together, at least not immediately, what with (gestures broadly to everything) going on. The flowers he gives her at the end could be a romantic gesture or one of friendship and gratitude. I like that whatever ishappening between them is taking its time, because its something they both need.
I know there's something I'm forgetting but I cant think of it now so if I remember it I'll add it later. I hope more people go to see it I would love to see a sequel. Maybe they explore phantom manor or mystic manor (actually I dont remember if that one actually has any ties to the other mansions/manors)

figured I might talk a little about how I've been making soap so yall can judge my dirty ass workstation
I'm making a new batch this evening so it seems like a good way to show everything from the top. This is a long post, I just like sharing my hobbies and I think soapmaking is fucking cool ok
Part 1:
Essentially, when you make soap you're mixing sodium hydroxide (or another similar base like potassium hydroxide) with water and oils and blending them up. When mixed they go through a process called saponification, during which (from my rudimentary understanding) the fatty acid tails break off from the fat structure because the hydrogen atom in the NaOH (sodium hydroxide) really wants to bond in that spot instead. The Na is an ion and breaks off from the molecule in water anyways, and it and the remaining O bond with the fatty acid tail and make a soap. Don't ask me any more please I'm not out of gen chem 2 yet.
All that means is, you take some water and some oils and some sodium hydroxide and mix it together, let it react, and you get soap. The key is the ratios of oils, water, and sodium hydroxide.
Tumblr media
The thing is, sodium hydroxide is a strong base. Which is kind of like a strong acid in how bad it is to touch. You don't want it on your hands, you don't want it in your mouth, and jesus fucking christ it WILL blind you if you get it in your eyes. So PPE (personal protective equipment) is a must. And not just some gardening gloves either, you need proper eye and skin protection.
I have latex gloves, a long-sleeved denim shirt I got from my old job for free, and some decent protective goggles. All of this goes on before the lye is opened and doesn't come off until I'm completely done with everything. PPE isn't a joke.
Tumblr media
Anyways. When you're making soap you need stuff like measuring bowls of course, since like I mentioned it's the ratios that matter. I measure everything by the gram with a digital scale. Silicone spatulas are also a must, I have two.
I also have an immersion blender. You COULD stir by hand, but I'm not eager to splash 10M lye around willy nilly so I got the blender. It just makes it easier and gives a better final product. I keep my tools separate from anything I would eat with bc, yknow,
Tumblr media
, so no smoothies for this bad boy. Not pictured are plain spoons for adding stuff to the measuring bowls. I use glass bowls bc the lye can corrode metal.
Tumblr media
Once I measure out an oil/butter I dump it into a big glass measuring cup. I could use a bowl but the measuring cup has a handle and I'm gonna be heating it up later.
Did you think I was done fearmongeroing about sodium hydroxide? Nope! It isn't just bad to touch, it's also bad to breathe! And it generates heat when you dilute it! That's hardly unique to lye, but it's still a little scary and cool.
The lye comes in little round pellets that I have to dissolve into a specific amount of water to get the right concentration of sodium hydroxide solution, and while that's happening it gives off vapors that SUCK to breathe. Ask me how I know. It's not "gonna kill you, call 911 asap", but it's "OWCH my LUNGS". You know if you breathed some in, it stings for a bit when you breathe in like something irritated the lining of your esophagus. Because it did.
So you have to make soap (or at least dilute your sodium hydroxide) in a well-ventilated area. Hence why I do this in my dirty ass garage instead of a nice clean kitchen. I have a big fan set up right next to my water bath (for keeping the lye cooler as I dilute it plus emergency water for washing), and I open the garage door to get that shit out. No enclosed spaces for me, please.
Tumblr media
Now... actually making the soap look and smell nice. I have fragrance oils I add, plus I can also add stuff like soap colorant (NOT FOOD DYE), clay (like a clay mask), exfoliants, etc. I just kinda fuck around with trying new oils together. The appeal of this hobby for me is trying new things and experimenting.
Tumblr media
I'll update more with actual in-progress photos once I'm done. I took these after cleaning all my supplies, I have some work I have to do before actually making soap bc it takes a while to measure everything out. Hopefully I'll find some time later this afternoonnnn

soooo i'm thinking of writing an au
just gonna throw that out there so yall won't be surprised if i randomly throw a fic or seven in your faces <3
FOR REFERENCE: this is gonna be a long post of me talking about shit i wanna write, it's mostly for my future self to look back and so i have all my thoughts in one place (i'm unorganized ok) and im publishing it so it's easier to find, but this is really mostly for my personal benefit in the future but if you all find it interesting yay thats great :)
anyhow
if i /do/ write an au, and that's a big if as my irl friends know about this acc and the teasing i could endure would be /endless/, it would be:
empires s1, with maybe some traffic characters thrown in- i don't feel like wc meshes very well with empires (else i would add it), unless the witchcraft witches were like at gem's academy or s2 shubble's witch school (OOOH that's an idea in and of itself lol
probably flower husbands based, or maybe mean gills, as they're slowly clawing up my mcyt ship tierlist... i'll have to think a bit on that one, but scott will most likely be the main character, cuz he was my very very first exposure to the wonderful world of empires and mcyt in general (found him through lauren, watched ep 1 of empires s2 and was hooked)
only very loosely based on canon events, i'd more be wanting to play around with the characters. therefore, out of the 3 ideas i have (more on that in a bit) i'd be more inclined to pick the more modern-day ones- though there would be fantasy elements of course like babe its empires
i have 3 main ideas that i feel like i could use- i'll put em in a poll if yall wanna vote, more info on each of them underneath
so yeah the first two are awfully similar- the main difference being that in the first option, the characters would be teachers, and in the second, students. imma go through all these a lil more in-depth, as i have ideas for all of them and i wanna see which one you all would rather read and i shall weigh that in on which one i'll (possibly) (ALLEGEDLY) write
teachers: scott is a teacher/the headmaster (i'll decide which later) at empires university (PLACEHOLDER NAME i swear i will come up with a better one) (probably) and jimmy is a new teacher who's just come onto the scene. he continually messes things up and scott is fed up with him and so they have a CHAT but obviously scott is traumatized by something in his past probably xornoth related or relating to one of the death games (life series) and jimmy is just CUTE but scott doesn't realize it and scott goes on being dumb about it and there is ANGST and such
students: basically the same general plot, but scott lives with horrible parents and jimmy becomes a reprieve and they become like best friends but they both have a secret crush on eachother (like in trust au omdsfksjdlkf go read it right now stop reading this rambling post and go read trust au SO GOOD SLDKFJ its by @/thetomorrowshow) and eventually scott is living at jimmy's house full time (jimmy has a cod tank in his room bc ofc) and then stuff happens heehhehehe no spoilers but again: ANGST
the main deal with these is there's ANGST (but also fluff because the two go hand in hand)
war: this is the main different one sooo it's set in the original empires world, but the cod empire and rivendell have been at war for decades and scott and jimmy hate each other but THEN they like meet one day and neither realizes who the other is until too late because they've never seen each other in real life and it's blasphemy and they like each other and all that yadayadayada ANGST
ummmmm anyway that's my fucking long rambling post done good graciousness this is the longest post i've ever done- anyway let me know (or don't, again, for my personal benefit) which one you would rather read and if any of them sound engaging at all- personally, i'm leaning towards students or war over teachers, i was full-in students but now i have so many great ideas for the war one- god i'm so messed up
that will be all
farewell

To Be Human (FNAF SB fanfic) C2 - Violent Tendencies
In Summary:
In a distant future where humans no longer roam the Earth and the sentient robots they left behind are left with little to no clues as to the lost history of their inherited world, Sun and Moon take up the title of scientists and endeavor to create their own human in their lab (that's where you come in!) in order to shed light on the mystery that is the lost history of the human race. Shenanigans and existential dread ensue as you, a funky little lab creature given sentience, attempt to puzzle out what it really means to be human.
Things To Know (always read responsibly!):
Reader insert! Y/N is not used and gender is not specified, though later in the fic the reader receives a name (also, this reader does not have any boobas lol which I only mention because reader doesn't have a shirt when they first Emerge From The Science Tube Thing and I don't mean to curse / bless yall with the mental image of reader just runnin around titties out lmao)
hurt / comfort :^)
Non-specified relationships between reader and Sun & Moon, this can be read either as pals or more, totally up to your interpretation
enemies (sorta??) to friends (to perhaps more, up to u lol)
Sun & Moon are referred to with gender neutral pronouns
The reader and other characters are often in mortal peril! This world is full of Funky Creatures (other than you) and some of them attack and hurt several characters, including the reader character
On that note there is some blood and minor gore
Occasional swearing
Reader is at times kidnapped / brough to / kept in places against their will
Thoughts and ponderings of sentience and whether or not your thoughts and feelings are your own
Sun & Moon treat the reader as if they are not sentient / intelligent for the first few chapters
That's all I can think of, as always if you want me to add something please let me know!
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3
C2 - Violent Tendencies
     You woke to the sound of some sort of ruckus. Bleary eyed, you fought off the haze of sleepiness still weighing down on you and peeked around the curtain.
     Sun was moving around and muttering and making a lot of noise as they re-packed their bag. You watched them with tired eyes for a moment.
     "Should have been here by now… What if they…? No no, Moon is too smart for that. Maybe they're just lost. I'll find them. I'll go out and I'll find them," Sun muttered, readjusting the contents of their bag. "I'll be back with Moon before the human wakes up. Yes. I can do this."
     You sat back, withdrawing yourself from sight. You thought quickly. If Sun was leaving you alone here… that meant you could figure out how to get out of here without Sun watching your every move. You silently laid back down and closed your eyes, feigning sleep just in case Sun checked on you.
     Sure enough, you heard the curtains rustle gently. Sun let out a quiet sigh, and then there were footsteps padding away. You heard the door hiss open, then close, and then all was silent. You waited a few moments just to be sure.
     Carefully, you peeked out around the curtain. The room was indeed empty. You quickly clambered down from the cot and went to the window. You could see Sun with their glowing rays outside in the clearing, marching back the way you had come.
     Show time.
     Being trapped was not an enjoyable feeling. You did feel trapped here, as it was clear you were not meant to leave. Naturally, you went to the door and puzzled over the pad in the wall. Escape was priority number one.
     Somehow, this pad made the door open and close. There were a lot of shapes and characters displayed on the pad, and none of them particularly stood out to you. You pressed a few at random, but nothing happened. You frowned at the pad and kept tapping. You managed to get the lights in the room to turn off and on, but the door remained firmly shut.
     Well, you weren't giving up that easily.
     You looked around. Sun had left some papers and small tools and things laying on the table by the farthest chair. You perused the items and picked up some sort of heavy metal tool. The top was wide and heavy, and the sides were covered in little characters, spaced evenly along the edge of the tool. You carried it over to the panel.
     You wound the tool back, then whacked it against the panel as hard as you could. Electricity crackled violently as the glass shattered, and you jumped back. The lights went out, and the door hissed open. You grinned victoriously and stepped through the door, mindful of the glass on the floor. You kept the tool in hand, figuring it might prove to be useful yet again.
     The airlock misted you, then let you outside. You stepped out into tall grass and immediately looked to the sky.
     The stars were fading, and the vast void was brightening, inky black fading into a hazy blue-grey. You could see the faint shapes of clouds, their edges fuzzy. You still got that sense that something was missing. You still couldn't fathom what it was that was missing.
     You couldn't stand here forever though, Sun or Moon or both would eventually be back. You turned and headed the opposite direction from where Sun had gone, walking into the trees.
     You weaved through bushes and over fallen logs, taking your time to be careful of where you were stepping. There were rocks and loose twigs and roots littering the forest floor. Your feet were still sore and stinging from last night.
     As the sky grew brighter, the shadows fled the forest, and you found yourself marveling at your surroundings as you walked.
     Each tree was a world of unique texture and color and patterns, some more alike than others. There were so many trees. You felt like you could walk forever and never reach the end of them. Their leaves came in all shapes and sizes, some as big as your head, and others fitting neatly in your palm. You picked up any colorful or interestingly shaped ones you saw on the ground. There was no shortage of such leaves, all of them were lovely in their own little ways. Each leaf had veins and colors and edges, you wanted to just stare at your little collection for hours.
     You had to keep moving, though. You ran your fingers along the bark of the trees as you went, clutching your leaves in your other hand. Your heavy metal tool was clenched between your teeth, so you could carry the leaves with ease.
     It wasn't long after noticing a steady 'hush' noise that you found the creek. The water was cold but something about it felt nice on your feet. After a moment of standing in the shallow water, the soreness became too numb to notice.
     After a refreshing drink that soothed the soreness in your throat, you continued walking along through the water, staring down at the way the rippling surface of the water distorted your feet into funny shifting shapes. Under your feet were hundreds of smooth little stones, most smaller than an eye. These rocks and stones turned to sand at the banks of the creek, which was much softer on your feet.
     Some of these stones were particularly shiny or colorful or interestingly shaped. You picked up several as you walked, running your fingers over smooth and jagged surfaces alike. You were amassing quite the collection, and you didn't have anywhere to stow the items away. You needed a bag, like the ones Sun and Moon had. You looked around, wondering if you could maybe make such a thing.
     You could maybe weave something from the tall grass, but that sounded difficult and far too time consuming for your liking. Once you'd gotten far enough away, you could figure that out. For now, you hunted down the biggest leaves you could find. You set them atop one another, then piled your collection of goods on the stack. Then you use a long blade of grass to tie the several-leaf-thick sack closed, creating a secure little sack of goodies. Pleased with your work, you carried on, walking upstream through the creek.
     You spied several creatures as you walked, most of them small and uncaring of your presence. You knew the names of some of them, though something seemed… off. Squirrels weren't supposed to be that big, right? And there were other creatures you couldn't place despite your best efforts. You saw a lot of creatures that looked something like a cat, but with far too many legs and eyes far bigger than what they should have been.
     It wasn't long before you encountered something big enough to worry about.
     Anxiety gripped your muscles as you and the creature stared at each other for a long moment. It was farther up the creek, in the middle of a refreshing drink when it had noticed you coming, just as you had noticed it standing there. Your brain said 'dog' but this creature was far longer than any dog you could imagine, and it had two long tails. Its paws were large and taloned. Its face was pointed and its eyes were small, though it was clearly looking right at you.
     After a tense moment, the creature turned and moved back up into the woods a ways, still keeping you in its line of sight. It started to paw at the ground, and quicker than you would have thought possible, it burrowed into the dirt and kept digging, tunneling away. It was out of sight within a minute. You cautiously approached and peered into the tunnel. It was too long at this point to see the creature within. You turned away and moved on.
     The sky was bright blue now. It was apparently noon already, though you didn't think you'd been walking for that long. The clouds were still hazy, too lazy to form solid outlines. You kept looking up at the leaves, because the light shining down through them made the leaves glow and cast shadowed patterns on everything below. The occasional breeze tossed these patterns into mesmerizing motion. The creek sparkled dazzlingly wherever the light met the surface of the water.
     You couldn't help but feel at ease here, among the trees. Beyond the calm, it felt so… natural. It was nature, after all. But something about it felt familiar. It felt like you were home.
     It was, decidedly, incredibly rude of that creature hiding up in the trees to ruin your tranquility by throwing a stone at you.
     You scowled at the creature. Your shoulder stung where the rock had hit you. This was a strange, narrow creature. It had thick fur, a thin torso, and strangely long arms and tail. It had no legs, and had latched itself onto a branch with its tail. It returned your stare silently with a pair of shiny, soulless and unblinking eyes. Its strange long limbs blended almost seamlessly into the branches around it. Which is why it took you a moment to realize the trees were full of these creatures. Hundreds of eyes were fixed on you.
     You stood stock still, waiting for… you weren’t sure what. The creatures were just staring at you, as if sizing you up.
     …Or figuring out how easy it would be for them to take you down.
     Suddenly, something stung your arm. You winced as another rock fell into the water. It hadn't been thrown hard enough to draw blood, but a bruise was already forming. The eyes filling the trees around you changed, becoming narrow. All at once, movement began in the trees- it was impossible to tell where one creature started and another ended.
     A sudden storm of rocks and sticks began to rain down on you, hurled at you by these crazy little creatures. You cried out and stumbled away, nearly falling into the creek. You put your arms over your head and ran, leaving the creek behind.
     The creatures filled the trees, doing a fair job of blocking out the light, casting you in shadow. They were everywhere, but the strangest thing was, they didn't make a sound. They just silently threw their sharp rocks and sticks, hoping to slowly pummel you to death.
     Suddenly, one of them fell on top of you. It was surprisingly heavy, and you were unprepared for the extra weight. Your knees buckled, but you ran on, quickly shaking the creature off in your anxiety educed frenzy.
     Now they were all falling and leaping around you; it was impossible to dodge them. They continued throwing their rocks and sticks, seemingly with no care for their own. Two more tried to tackle you, but this time you were more prepared. You swung your tool, knocking the ones you saw coming to the side.
     You weren't, however, prepared for the large stick that flew right into your right leg. At the same time, another creature fell on your back. You tripped, and flew towards the ground.
     You yelped, feeling pain everywhere as the creatures continued to rain rocks down on you. The one that had fallen on you had managed to stay on your back and they clung there, weighing you down as an even heavier wave of sharp projectiles flew down at you.
     You didn't know what to do, and dread was starting to set in. There were just so many of them, and the rocks never seemed to stop. You would die like this, painfully pummeled until there was nothing left of you.
     Screw that, though. You didn't want to die. You looked up, and spotted a cave in the distance. It wasn't too far. A sudden wave of determination washed over you. You would not be dying here today.
     First, you needed to get this asshole off your back.
     You took a deep breath, then pulled your arms up to shield your face and head, and rolled.
     It worked. The creature was dislodged, and you heaved yourself onto your feet and practically leapt your way to the cave. You ducked inside and kept running, only stopping when you could no longer see where you were going.
     The creatures had not followed you into the cave. If you squinted, you could still see them in the trees outside, swinging around and silently glaring at you. You stuck your tongue out at them and grinned victoriously.
     You turned your attention back to the cave, since you wouldn't exactly be leaving anytime soon. The tunnel stretched into total darkness. The stone was rough and dusty below your feet. The cave felt eerie, but it sure was better than being pummeled to death by a hoard of weird violent little creatures.
     You blinked and squinted as you realized the tunnel was not totally dark. It was a distance away, but there was a faint glow from deeper within. You had nothing else to do, so you investigated, stepping carefully through the darkness.
     The glowing turned out to be from a peculiar dark green and purple moss clinging to the wall of the cave. It was soft to the touch, though it left a tingling sensation on your fingertips. You opted not to touch it again.
     You followed the tunnel, the way illuminated by the moss. It lead you down into the earth and to a cavern. You paused to gape at the cavern ceiling, countless stalactites covered in glowing moss. There were glowing puddles full of the moss all along the floor as well.
     You were so thrilled to have found such a wonderous little hiding place that you nearly didn't notice that someone else had already chosen to hide out here.
     To your surprise, it was Moon. The blue being was sitting against the far wall of the cavern, somewhat slumped to the side. They were motionless.
     You glanced back the way you'd come. You didn't think it had been long enough for the rock throwing creatures to have dispersed yet. You looked back at Moon. Why were they so still…?
     You carefully approached Moon, being mindful of the puddles. You passed a few other tunnels on your way, leading deeper into the earth, each illuminated by the same glowing moss. You squinted down at Moon for a moment. Moon's eyes were closed and they were still. You crouched down and poked Moon with your metal tool.
     Moon roused, and you jumped back.
     Moon groaned and put a hand to their head. They looked around, then spotted you.
     "What." Moon stared at you. They looked around again, eyes sharpening as they got to their feet. "Where's Sun?"
     You couldn't answer, even if you did know where Sun was currently.
     "Why are you here? What happened to Sun??" Moon demanded, taking a step towards you.
     You held your tool out threateningly at Moon, warning them against coming any closer.
     "If you’ve hurt them, so help me, human," Moon growled. "I brought you into existence and I can take you back out."
     You did your best to look unimpressed.
     Moon looked ready to say something else, but a noise echoed through the cavern before they could.
     You and Moon both turned in time to see movement coming from one of the tunnels. Your eyes widened when you saw a hulking creature, frame almost too wide to fit through the tunnel. It lumbered into the cavern, then stretched up to its full height, which was nearly twice the height of Moon, who had a good few feet on you. This creature was either made of or at least entirely covered in the glowing moss. It had a vague set of limbs and a head with indiscernible features, besides a large gaping mouth, which bellowed out a deep gravely groan.
     "Oh, for- I hate this place. Escape one terror just to run into a different one," Moon complained.
     The moss creature turned towards Moon and started lumbering towards them. You quickly hurried out of the way. The creature didn't seem to notice you.
     Moon crouched into a ready for action stance as the creature neared. The creature bellowed, then swung a heavy limb at Moon, who nimbly dodged out of the way with relative ease.
     Okay, time to go. You turned and started to hurry back the way you came. You accidentally stepped into a puddle, sticking your sore foot right in a thick patch of moss. The white hot burning sensation was more than a little unpleasant, and you yelped as you stumbled away from the puddle.
     The moss creature paused and turned to you. It started to stagger in your direction. You moved quickly, putting distance between you and the creature. The creature paused at the puddle you'd been standing next to. It swung a limb around, hitting nothing but air. You eyed the creature curiously for a moment. It didn't seem to have any eyes.
     "Listen human, I don't know why you're here or why Sun isn't with you, but I need some answers. Once we get out of here, you'd better deliver, I don’t care if you’re capable of complex thought or not," Moon warned, edging their way around the perimeter of the cavern.
     The moss creature turned to Moon again. Moon paused, focusing on the creature. The moss creature charged at Moon, who dove out of the way.
     You waved your arms, getting Moon's attention. You quickly put a hand over your mouth, then pointed at the creature, then at your ear.
     Realization dawned on Moon's face. They grabbed a pebble from the ground and lobbed it at the other end of the cavern. It clattered noisily against the stone. Sure enough, the moss creature turned to face the noise, then charged that direction.
     Moon quickly waved for you to follow and booked it for the tunnel you'd come down. You followed without much hesitation, since Moon made for slightly better company than the angry moss creature.
     Moon paused at the mouth of the cave, looking up at the trees. You stared as well, squinting suspiciously at the trees. You couldn't see any movement, but that didn't mean those creatures weren't still hiding in the branches.
     "I took shelter here in the cave to begin with because a swarm of creatures tried to pummel me with stones. I decided to recharge for a moment while I waited them out. Judging by the light, I must have been recharging for longer than intended," Moon said quietly.
     You held out your arms, covered in little bruises and cuts, and gave Moon a frown. You already knew all about the horrible little rock throwing creatures.
     "…I see you found the cave for much the same reason," Moon said. "But why are you out here alone to begin with? Where is Sun?"
     You huffed. You didn't know where Sun was, and you really didn't care. In fact, now that those rock throwing creatures seemed to be gone, you could be on your merry way and leave these two jokers behind. You turned away from Moon and started walking off into the trees.
     "Hey!" Moon grabbed your arm. "Where do you think you're going??"
     You hissed at Moon and tried to pull away. Moon's grip was firm, so you tried whacking them with the metal tool. You got one hit in, actually managing to dent their torso slightly, before Moon snatched the tool away and held it up out of reach when you tried to swipe it back.
     Moon frowned at you. "Enough. We need to find Sun and get to the shelter."
     You groaned. You didn't want to go back. But… well, the forest seemed to be a lot more dangerous than you were expecting as well. It'd certainly be safer back at the shelter. But you weren't exactly allowed to leave the shelter, and you did not want to be trapped anywhere.
     You didn't have to make any decisions as it turned out, because Moon was dragging you back the way you'd come regardless.
     "Stop being difficult, would you??" Moon grumbled.
     You scowled, instantly making up your mind. You did not want to go back to the shelter. You dropped to the ground.
     "Ugh!" Moon scowled at you. They released your arm, only to grab you around the middle and hoist you up over their shoulder.
     Honestly, you should have seen that coming. You squirmed and growled and thrashed, but Moon kept two arms around you and marched unimpeded through the woods.
     Finally, after a good while of struggling, you tired and simply stewed. You watched the trees go by, all the distance you'd covered undone.
     You and Moon entered the clearing with the shelter just as the sun was starting to set, shadows growing long and the bright blue of the sky softening. Moon paused when the shelter was in sight. You wriggled enough to look over your shoulder and see whatever Moon was looking at.
     Sun was sitting outside, leaning against the doorframe. They were curled up, their face behind their knees. You could see them shaking, even from this distance.
     "Sun!" Moon called.
     Sun's head jerked up. "MOON!!" Sun gasped and shot to their feet. They bounded across the clearing, barreling into Moon and wrapping them in a massive four armed hug. Sun started rambling. "Oh Moon, I couldn't find you anywhere, I looked all morning and then when I got back the human had escaped and I was all alone and I didn't know what to do and I didn't know where you were or if you were okay-"
     "Sun," Moon said softly. They sighed and pat Sun's back. "Calm down. It's okay. Lets get inside and get everything sorted."
     "Right. Right." Sun released Moon and smiled a nervous smile. "I can't believe you found the human too! I was worried they were lost or hurt or worse…"
     Sun and Moon crowded into the airlock with you. Moon didn't set you down once you were all inside, instead readjusting you so you were tucked under an arm. Moon turned to frown at the busted panel by the door while you scowled and begrudgingly accepted your fate.
     "I leave you alone for a few hours…" Moon sighed.
     "Hey, I got here with the human all on my own after you left us behind!" Sun huffed.
     "I didn't leave you behind, you suddenly disappeared! I thought you were right behind me," Moon argued. "You shouldn't have left the human here alone."
     "They were recharging, and you hadn't shown up yet, so I went to find you! The door was locked, how was I supposed to know they'd figure out how to smash their way through?" Sun said defensively.
     "It does seem somewhat… violent." Moon eyed the metal tool they'd taken from you. They set it down and turned their attention to you. Moon lifted you up, holding you under the arms. You bared your teeth at Moon, who raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps its volatile nature is due to the premature activation?"
     "I think last night was stressful for all of us," Sun said. "Moon, I… I'm sorry. I really didn't see any other way…"
     "I understand why you did it. Just… talk to me before you make decisions like that," Moon said.
     Sun nodded. "I'll try. You're not easy to talk to sometimes."
     Moon looked away and sighed. "I know."
     You looked between the two of them. You had no idea what the heck was going on. You just wanted to be put down. You wiggled and kicked.
     "Here, hold this while I fix the panel," Moon said. He pushed you into Sun's arms.
     Sun held you in a secure sort of cradle, which was at least more comfortable.
     "What have you got there??" Sun asked, noticing the leaf pouch you were still clutching.
     You held it tightly to your chest with both hands. Sun moved a hand towards the pouch. You bit at their fingers.
     "Hey!" Sun waggled a finger at you. "Biting people is very rude."
     You stuck your tongue out at Sun, who scoffed.
     "Why do you talk to it like that?" Moon questioned. They were focused on the panel, adjusting the wires and bits inside with small precision tools.
     "What do you mean?" Sun asked.
     "Like it knows or cares what you're saying," Moon clarified. “It’s not sentient. Its not even an animal. It’s a creation, you know that. We made it in a lab together. Its not even our final objective, it’s a prototype.”
     Sun glanced down at you. "I think it does understand some things, at least to some extent. I took some notes last night, you should read them over!"
     "Sun, not only was it awoken prematurely, but its nowhere near fully developed. Just look at how small it is! There's still so much we need to work out and perfect. There's simply no way it's developed enough to comprehend language. I’m surprised its even alive," Moon said.
     Oh, you were having none of this. You didn't care if you were ready to talk yet or not. You opened your mouth and forced the air out. "Bite."
     Sun and Moon both froze, staring at you wide eyed. You grinned at Moon. "Bite bite bite." You chomped your teeth for good measure.
     To your surprise, Sun burst out laughing. "I told you!!"
     Moon scoffed. "Clearly it's just mimicking what you said earlier."
     You frowned at that. “Bite,” you said again, though with less enthusiasm.
     "Even so, that’s unprecedented! How wonderful!! It can mimic sound well enough to simulate speech! Oh my goodness!" Sun excitedly swung you around. "You beautiful marvel of science and creation! You are glorious!"
     Well… You sure didn't mind that. Your face felt warm.
     "That is a mangy creature. It literally tried to bite you not two minutes ago," Moon said.
     You chomped your teeth threateningly at Moon. Moon just squinted at you disapprovingly before turning their attention back to the panel. "I think I've got this sorted. There's not much to be done about the screen, we'll have to replace that later. For now, I'll just bolt a panel over it."
     Sun finally set you down. Moon and Sun watched you intently. You eyed the door. You knew they would grab you if you managed to get it open, but you had to try regardless.
     The door would not open for you. Moon seemed pleased with this. You huffed and walked away, making your way back to the cot you'd slept in. you held your leaf pouch in your mouth, leaving your hands free so you could climb up onto the cot. You scowled at Sun and Moon before drawing the curtain closed.

Heyyoo,,,
It's me, that bitch Hikari who disappeared without saying a word for two whole years-
Owkdnkwndjw where do i start man-
First of all, I am deeply, truly, sorry for disappearing on you guys like that, really. I owe you guys an explanation but tbh i just think im making excuses at this point. But i just wanna say that Im sorry. Im really really sorry…
I promised myself that i wont be active here again until april of next year (ill explain later as to why) but i thought id just drop in rq to notice you guys that im still here, alive and well, and fortunately not dead yet-
It's been so long since i last wrote any fanfic, and i havent written anything proper ever since 2 years ago, but i rlly miss being able to write,, it was one of my passion, and still is even tho i never wrote anything for the past years,,, id rlly like to come back and revive this dead writing blog once im finally free on april of 2023… I hope you guys will be able to welcome me back at that time with open arms (or just dropkick me for being so inactive i dont mind whichever ahhseilwnekdj)
I have an upcoming big exam next year from february to march 2023, an exam that will carve my path as an adult, which, if any of you malaysians seeing this, yes its SPM. U could say my whole career depends on this, hence why I've been so inactive on tumblr for the past years (and also some other reasons but thats one of it)
I know a lot of my moots have moved on, some still here and some have deactivated or delete their account and all i feel is,, regret. A lot of my moots are what helped me get through my darker moments during quarantine, and the fact that ill probably lose contact with them for forever is horrifying. I wish i had at least contacted them for one last time b4 i disappeared 2 years ago. I wish i was able to ask for their other socmed so that i can still contact them. It's stupid, i know, since I'm the one who disappeared on yall in the first place. I rlly, rlly, am sorry. I just hope you know that. 
I rlly miss you guys. I truly do. Its been so long. You guys are the sweetest people ive ever had the pleasure of knowing and im truly blessed by that fact. I srsly dont deserve you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for always putting up with my antics and simpings, and always just,,, being the sweetest person ever. I truly dont deserve yall. You guys are the reason i still havent deleted or deactivated my acc. I just cant let go of you guys. Thats why i still keep this up even tho im hella inactive. So that i can still come back here, someday. 
Ive gotten into some more fandoms while i was gone, and I'll add that to my masterlist. I promise when i come back, ill write more for you guys (even tho my writing aint nothing special windijskd) 
Thank you again for all the support youve given me for the past years. I appreciate every one of you <333 I have so many things i wanna say but its all jumbled up and my mind's a mess but just know that im sorry and thank you, for just,, everything 💞💞💞 i hope when i come back, i can still be the hikari you guys remember me as 💓
This isn't a goodbye post, far from it. This is simply a see you later post. I love you guys, stay hydrated, and always rmmbr that ure an awesome person who deserves all the love in the world 💗💗💗
-Signing off for now,
Hikari

- I dont write situations in which characters take care of the reader after getting their ass beat or helping them recover from an extremely traumatic experience, shit like that, just makes me uncomfortable
- i am a minor: close to the ages of most of the characters I write for meaning all the suggestive themes i implement in my silly little fics are involving minors, unless said otherwise !!
- aging up characters has always been a little iffy for me so i usually just keep the characters the cannon ages even for frisky scenes since again, im a minor, meaning it doesn't bother me
- later in the future i might change my mind about this, (aging up characters) idk idk—we'll see, again, stay tuned
- to add onto this im not writing anything even remotely suggestive for characters under the age of 15. need i say more?
- my oneshots specifically are really short, unless i have alot of ideas or thoughts about the topic and (surprise surprise)

Happy kwanukkyulemas yall! Personally I celebrate Yule so blessed be to my fellow pagans but of course I wish the best to everyone this season. Over the time I was away i rewatched Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children and I kinda became obsessed. Naturally my autistic ass brain cant enjoy things normally so I made a crossover au with hannibal cus I guess making extremely specific self indulgent aus is my thing now.
Mind you I might merge this into my mothman au but for now I'm just gonna keep them separate.
Miss peregrine's crossover au
So first if you know nothing about the miss peregrine's series it's about a universe where there are some people who are "peculiars", people born with certain unnatural or even supernatural abilities. This can be anything from being a shapeshifter to manipulating time itself to anything you can think of.
There are certain specific types of peculiar that are universal, one of the major ones are called ymbrenes (pronounced "yim-breen" or "im-breen"). They're people (usually women) who can morph into a bird and manipulate time. Also I'm pretty sure they're immortal but I might be misremembering that.
Now that I'm done explaining that let's get to the au.
So one thing about ymbrenes is that their last name is always the name of the bird they are which I thought fits clarice PERFECTLY. Her name is literally Starling, how could I not make her an ymbrene?!!
As for hannibal I obviously wanna make him peculiar too so I thought I would make him a sorta cat shapeshifter (yes I'm aware I seem to have a thing for shapeshifters lol).
He can morph into a feline (I havent decided which one yet) but his human form also has sharp fangs, cat eyes that glow yellow (and give him night vision of course), retractable claws in his fingertips, and more body hair than normal.
I might add onto this later but for the most part his human form does look human, I couldnt bring myself to make him a khajiit lol (although he might be able to morph into a form like that 👀)
As for what clarice looks like, ymbrenes tend to have their appearance relate to the bird they are so I went with foster's clarice for this au since she has darker hair. I will still change her appearance slightly just cus it's fun lol.
Her hair starts looking almost black towards her roots but slowly turns to a deep brown towards her tips. She has very subtle blonde highlights speckled across her hair to replicate the white spots on starlings.
Tumblr media
I decided to keep jodie's iconic piercing blue eyes just cus it would be a sin to replace those gems
Even in human form ymbrenes can make bird noises and have some of their respective birds tendencies which I absolutely gave to clarice.
Starlings are famous for their shocking ability to replicate any sound they hear to a nearly perfect degree, even human voices. Naturally I gave clarice the ability to do this in human form as well, but given she would have human vocal organs she can eliminate any imperfections a normal starling's human impression would have.
That's all I have the energy to write for now, I'm absolutely digging this au and I'm sure I'll post more about it soon. Hope yall like it!

OKAY time for a college au!!
You 3 know each other from before college
You and kazuha were seating next to each other during your first year of high school you became close enough to greet each other whenever you guys pass by each other
And you and Xiao were best friends from kindergarten to 2 grade but unfortunately you had to move suddenly you two tried to keep contact but the two of you made new friends and kinda lost contact with each other
So when you go to college you meet kazuha at the front desk when you're trying to get your schedule and yall are like "omg I'm so happy to see someone that I know here!" and when you guys check your schedules it turns out that the two of you have the same class during the first period
And you're like "we've got 30 minutes wanna go grab a cup of coffee and get lost together?" and kazu knows that you playfully flirt with your friends so he jokingly says "are you asking me out for a date? Because if you are then I accept!" and you guys talk on the way to class and the two of you barely make it on time
Class ends and you're sad to say goodbye to the only person you know on campus but then all of a sudden he hits you with a "by the way can I have your number?" so you two exchange numbers
Later you're going to your last class and it turns out that this class doesn't have many people you go sit in the back and someone comes up to you and is like "can I sit next to you? " you say yes obviously
But the thing is... there is something very familiar about this guy and you just can't put your finger on it so you kind of stare at him without realizing it
Of course he noticed how hard you've been staring at him and turns around and is like "what? Is there something on my face?" that's when it finally clicks
And you're just like "XIAO??! IS THAT REALLY YOU?!!" but the teacher comes in so you two can't really talk
But the moment class ends you tell him who you are and take a few minutes to catch up
Though I say catch up it was mostly you teasing him saying shit like "I can't believe the shy kid who used to tear up whenever his turn on the swing was taken would grow up to be this handsome!" (he's starting to think that maybe he should have sat somewhere else)
So you're like "hey how we go actually catch up I've got some coupons for this café I went to this morning with a friend"
He doesn't have a reason to say no so he just accepts the invitation
When you guys get there who do you meet? KAZUHA! This man actually works there!
When you see him you're like "kazuha why didn't you tell me that you work here?" but he pretends not to know you and is like "oh? Well who might this fine customer be?" you can tell he's joking by the way he's trying not to laugh so you decide to play along
Poor Xiao is starting to regret coming with you (but don't worry he got 2 plates of almond tofu as an apology)
-no primogems (I'll make another part later where you 3 become roommates)
YES I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS-
dhfaeiahe I realize now that I should've just posted this as is since I wasn't planning on adding to this but might as well add in some thoughts I've had about this lovely trio eh??? tbh I didn't add much I just slipped in a few little things hehe
Can you guess the roomates?? Also the bio professor is Albedo ehe
Anyway!!
Considering it's the first semester of college, you haven't yet decided on your major. Luckily, you have quite a few general education classes to take, so you register all in one night.
You'll have the time to figure it all out as time goes by, no?
The rest of summer is spent juggling moving into the campus' dorms, working, and keeping up with some friends from high school. While you've kept contact with a few friends, you definitely kicked yourself in the ass for forgetting to ask Kazuha for his number...how could you forget one of your best friends?
But, you suppose that he's far off in a whole other city with his wish to experience more. You can't help but wonder what he's up to.
Then, the first day of classes starts.
How did you not figure out where everything is first? Instead of moping, you trudge to the administrative building early to ask for directions and, even better, a map of the large campus.
Instead, you find a familiar head of cream-colored hair.
Immediately, you gasp and he turns around in confusion, only for a soft smile to spread over his features. It's only been a summer but it's a relief to see that you know another person. Comparing schedules, he points out that you both have Communications 1301 together.
For once, you're glad you have to take these mandatory courses...
But with an abundance of time (as Kazuha just so happens to know where the class is), he accepts your jokingly firtatious proposal to head to the cafe just across campus to grab a morning drink.
It's hardly been long since you've last spoken to him, but there's still so much to talk about! It turns out he opted to rent out a small studio apartment just a few blocks away from campus! Naturally, he invites you over sometime.
He's also admitted that he decided to major in English--something you're not surprised to hear. After all, Kazuha's a natural at the subject, exceeding the assignments and always so eloquent.
If you recall correctly, he used to tote around a little notebook full of little musings and poetry during high school. You wonder if he still does that.
You talk about how you've just moved into the dorms a week ago, how you're lucky to be rooming with two musically inclined (if not a bit rowdy) people. You're sure that he'd take a liking to them once everything is calmed down a bit. Kazuha just raises a brow in half-doubt.
Before you know it, it's been an hours and, to your horror, your first class starts in five minutes. Not to mention that it was back closer to the admin building and you were on the opposite side of campus.
But it's still fun, Kazuha laughing as you jolt up and tug him to stand, the two of you running to get to class on time. With heaving breaths and flushed faces, you make it just a few minutes late. Luckily, your professor didn't mind because it was the first day...
Following class, you have to make your way to Bio 1301, Kazuha having a major-specific English course to get to. Before you can speak, though, he offers his phone to you. It's newer than his old flip phone you'd tease him about all the time, the screen clean save for a few stray fingerprints.
After you put in your number, he beams and quickly sends you a call so you can have his too.
"Call me after you're done with classes, alright?"
You promise to and the two of you set off.
Biology proves to be uneventful, a full hour and a half of the (rather attractive) professor going over what to expect as well as passing out lab waiver forms. A necessary precaution, he said with a reserved sigh. You wonder what happened.
When the hour ends, you have some time before World History, followed by a Trigonometry course.
By the time you find your trig class, most of the seats are already taken, making that feeling of dread fill the pit of your stomach. Nothing is worse than being forced to take whatever seat is left. But, noticing a seat by the windows, it's not so bad.
You're in the back, though, settling your bag beneath your chair and picking out a pen and schedule book.
At some point, someone walks in and asks if the seat in front of you is taken. You don't bother to look up long as you fish out a notebook, letting him know it's free.
As class goes on, you realize that the guy in front of you most likely hasn't been paying attention. Considering that the professor has been rehashing stuff from Algebra...you're not surprised. But something about his dark hair catches your eye. Not to mention his striking gold eyes...hm.
It's not until you catch his profile as he stares out the window that it clicks.
"Xiao."
His eyes dart to look at you, a confused look washing over his face. You repeat his name.
"Yes?"
Part of him is just about ready to leave as recognition floods your expression, smile wide. How could you possibly---
"I can't believe the shy kid who used to tear up whenever his turn on the swing was taken would grow up to be this handsome!"
The tips of his ears turn red fast, something that you remember very well about him, and his gaze quickly flicks over to the professor still dragging on. When gold settles back on you, they're practically begging for you to lower your voice.
"It's been forever--I can't believe that you-"
"If you're going to talk, do it outside of class."
Ah. Oopsie.
Time seems to drag on while you buzz in your seat, excited to see your childhood friend after loosing contact. You've missed him over the years, always wondering what happened to him, how he's been. And finally, when class ends, he gets up and waits for you.
Naturally, you want to catch up, so you invite him to go to the cafe with you for a late lunch.
"You still like almond tofu right? It's all you used to eat when we were little." Laughing, you nudge his shoulder and the color returns to his cheeks as he mumbles a yes.
When you step into the cafe, a familiar voice greets you.
"If I knew a cute customer would be coming, I would've gone on break."
Kazuha leans on the counter, mirth in his eyes and you gasp. It makes sense now, why he's so well acquainted with the campus and why he'd already known what to order when you arrived for drinks-
"What can I get for you today?"
"Your number."
Xiao's face pales at the blatant flirting, wondering if he should've just declined the invitation to the cafe until the two of you burst into laughter. Though, it's hardly better.
"Sorry, sorry- This is Kazuha, one of my friends from high school. Kazuha, this is my childhood best friend Xiao."
With a day so filled with nice coincidences, you doubt that life can get any better than this.
Oh, how wrong you'd be.

pocketing her phone after reading tendous message, she opens the door waving to a couple friends and offers friendly smile taking her seat. a pair of pale green eyes follow her. after yesterday suna did a little research about her y/n y/l/n the bassist and youngest in the band called 4u, she has quite a big following on twitter, she's really nice and interacts with the fans. looking at her now you can't imagine her on stage suna thought. breaking away from his thoughts as the teacher walks in. spouting for about what feels like hours and the students taking notes, finally lunch approaches. y/n jumps from her seat grabbing her case she walks to the third year hallway. waving to her friends they walk to her, tendou wrapping his arms around her “y/n!!!!!! i missed you” laughing as she hugged him back “tendou!!! i missed you toooo.” she turns to the grey haired male, “semisemi!!” she says giving him a hug, he rolls his eyes and hugs her back “and ushi!!” she turns to the brunette to which he pats her head “good afternoon y/n.” as they go to the lunch room to grab their lunch, they walk to one of the music rooms they usually occupy. a beep from her phone grabs her attention seeing her friend atsumu asking if him his twin and their friend can join for lunch, “hey guys you dont mind if atsumu and his friends come join us?” she says setting down her case against the wall. “nah you can invite them, atsumu is our biggest hype man” tendou says, grabbing his drum sticks from his back pocket. texting him its cool she goes to unzip her bass. “oh ms lady ive missed you” she says hugging the instrument, “i can't believe you two and always wanting to play, dont yall have any other hobby?” semi says, grabbing the schools given guitar setting the speaker up for y/n. tendou gives a scoff “semisemi dont act like you hate hearing us play i see you listening to our covers alllll the timeeeee” he says “yeah semi besides we have a concert soon and it wouldnt be bad to have an audience” y/n says walking to semi to connect her bass to the speaker when the door opens, entering is atsumu in the middle, osamu on his left, and a mystery guy in the back. setting her bass down running up to the blond “tsumu!!” giving him a hug “y/n!!” he hugs her back, she waves to osamu, who shes met on an occasion. looking towards the dark haired guy she walks up to him, noticing shes seen him somewhere. “youre suna right? we're in the same class?” she says giving him a hand and a awkward smile, nodding at her words. “hope its okay im here” he says taking her hand giving a slight shake. “nah dont worry its nice to have a different face, seeing tsumu is getting boring” turning around to the male. “what she means to say is we could use practice in front of new people” the grey haired male says giving a small laugh when tendou scoffs at him, both guys walking towards the small group. “this is semi and this is tendou” she says introducing them. when the introductions are over the two males go back to setting up, y/n walks the newcomers to the sitting area “here you guys can sit, im sure you all know ushijima” on hearing his name he looks up from his name giving a small head bow. they all sit “any recommendations tsumu?” y/n says walking to her bass making sure everything was good, looking towards the small group. “y/n you know my favorites” atsumu says stealing one of his brothers onigiri. y/n laughs and rolls her eyes, turning to tendou “anything you wanna try tori?” tendou looks at her with a smile “y/n lets show semi whatweve been working on” hearing this semi looked at them “what do you guys mean? what did you two do” y/n chuckles at the grey hairs doubtful expression “mr semisemi you know your favorite mcr song” when she sees him nod she continues “me and tori learned it” she says pushing him lightly. semi looked at her with wide eyes then at tendou, looking at semi tendou flicked his drum stick between his fingers with a nod. “wow semi cant believe you, we spent so much hours perfecting a my chemical romance for your sap self and he doesn't believe us y/nie i might
” tendou says fake sniffing. the little group in the back beyond confused, atsumu clearing his throat “have you three forgotten us already, wheres our show” ushijima nodding his head “yeah why are you guys being so vague” tendou snickers “dont worry you three and wakatoshi we have decided to play a new song or well cover i should say” “yeah and its semi’s favorite band you know the one that he wears on his shirts?” ushijima looking towards the girl after hearing her statement he nods. “okay can we play now ive been waiting to show my skills and get our lovely semi's opinion” y/n says removing her pick, both boys giving a ‘yeah’. finally tendou does the countdown. suna looks at all three of them with slight excitement in his stomach, ‘is this a new song im going to hear?’ before he could think of anything else, semi started playing a few chords by himself and y/n starting to add her own strums then tendou adding drums. sunas eyes widen at how well all the sounds blended together, freezing in his spot when semi started singing, when hitting the chorus y/n joins him. suna looking at her, he felt like he had been put in a trance, feeling like theres a spotlight on her when she starts nodding her head seeing her tongue sticking out when stringing the instrument. towards the end you can see y/n lose focus and her eye twitches, ending the song she sighs. “hey sorry about the end” waving to the guys to her left with a frown. hearing applause from the group the frown doesnt last long. “WHOOO!!!!! THAT WAS MY BESTIES GO SEMI! GO TENDOU! GO Y/N!!” atsumu gets up and yells. “that was so good what the hell that was yer first time too?” he says going up to the group, high-fiving y/n. “i mean me and tendou practiced together but semi basically has every song by them memorized but together? yeah our first.” tendou getting up to get his water that was next to ushijima. semi joining the fake blond and the girl, patting her on her back “that was a good first for us i can tell you and tendou worked hard, we're definitely adding it to the set list.” getting a laugh from both of them semi walks to the small group. “hey man that was really good, you have a nice voice” suna says as semi approaches, semi turned to him surprised “oh thank you im glad you enjoyed, do you listen to our stuff?” he says taking a seat next to him. “ive recently just started, i hope that doesnt sound too weird” the dark haired suddenly getting a little embarrassed, chuckling “its not weird i promise, well its good you listen to us or im sure it would've been awkward to just be here” nodding along to what he said. tendou going back to the drums “are you cowards tapping out now?” “COWARDS?!?!” y/n yells back turning around “i am no coward tendou satori i'll make you eat those words semi get over here” she said grabbing semis attention and shooing atsumu back to his seat. chuckling as he sat back down, turning to suna “howd ya like em? theyre good huh?” suna rolling his eyes “im not going to help inflate your ego tsumu” “yeah tsumu yer big ego is not cute” gasping to their remarks “you guys are so mean to me, i introduce you to nice music and even the artists and this is the thanks i get” before any could respond tendou starts clicking his sticks. starting this one is tendou with a slower sound, y/n entering second then semi with vocals. y/n leans down to mess with something by her foot turning a notch noises like static come out adding to the music, coming up fast she starts adding her vocals complimenting semis. pressing on the box she leans down as more noises come out. atsumu leans over to sunas ear “thats a pedal that holds other sounds and can help stretch other sounds” suna giving him a nod. towards the end y/n reaches down to the pedal again adding a distorted sound before adding her last bit of ‘oohs’ before the song ends. everyone clapping as the members stay still for s bit before y/n dramatically bows “youre so welcome lovely audience” she says blowing kisses to them, laughing at her atsumu jumps up and down pretending to be a crazy fan “oh y/n you were so go
od i love you y/n!!!” y/n laughing at him. “hey atsumu what about me!” tendou asks swinging his hand “howd i do?” “oh tendou you were so good, i love you too tendou!!!” he says swinging his arm back. tendou satisfied with his response nods his head, “and with that lets play one more i still want time to actually eat before we play again later.” “yeah lets try ‘crybaby’ we haven't done that in awhile” semi says getting in position.“remember y/n you do the verses” y/n nods clearing her throat “go tori” she says and tendou starts the counting again. starting the counting fast he gets one beat then y/n starts off with singing, swinging her bass back she grabs the mic. suna cracks a smile nodding his head a little as he remembers this song on their youtube, atsumu whistling when y/n dips down her mic as she sings, letting the boys have a solo in between verses she bobs her head. the last few seconds of the song she swings the instrument back as she steps on the pedal creating feedback, as semi goes to vocals she starts getting a solo with tendou playing, y/n leans forward and her and semi sing the rest of the song. after the last note they all look out of breath. clapping for them again letting them catch their breath, y/n starts laughing “i forget how hard that song is towards the end” laughing with her tendou nods “its literally the last 50 seconds that get the hardest” “alright lets clean up” semi says laughing at both of their bored looks they send him. finishing up they all go to the group whove are talking among themselves. sighing as she sits y/n takes the seat next to suna, “so howd you like the songs?” she says with a smile “they were good though i only recognized the last one” he replies, “tsumu told me you started listening to us recently so i thought or well semi thought wed show off a bit with our best song being that” she says with a smile grabbing her bottle. a small smile appears on his face “oh hey tsumu told me youre like really good in your classes and i really need help in history and since we have that group project coming up do you wanna pair up?” she says setting her bottle down grabbing a bag of chips. “yeah i dont mind as long as you actually do something and i can help you study if your grade is that bad” he says. “thatd actually help me out a lot i really appreciate it” she lets a breath out. after that the two spent all lunch just talking, the conversation coming easy for both of them. hearing the bell ring y/n hugs her friends and walks with suna to their class, pairing up in the project the teacher had given them in their period. after class before y/n rushed out she passed him her number with a wink “text me for the deets foxy boy.” ‘foxy boy? suna thought to himself shaking his head texting her with a simple ‘hey its suna’ and heading home.
facts !
during lunch when suna and y/n we're talking the followed each other on twitter
semi was really touched they learned the mcr song
the 4u concert is at a small venue but no one really cares about the other groups going there
osamu and atsumu almost started fighting over the onigiri until suna said something about ushijima being right there
atsumu was watching suna and y/n talking
osamu actually really enjoyed being there during lunch

the bachelorette chp 5, part 2: connie’s proposal
Tumblr media
an: hey yall 😛 i'll be posting another q&a before the final elimination chapter comes out. the day after that, i will close the poll, so make good choices! if you wanna change your mind, do it NOW! if you haven't voted, NOW is your chance😁 also, once again, i had to add an extended part to the connie family chapter because the full thing did not upload :( if the extended part helps you change your mind on connie, let me know! also, i really like this chapter because i could properly write a beach story! i went to a beach last week for the very first time and now i won't sound stupid when writing (and i'll never beat around the bush again!) link at the bottom!
tags: fem, black reader
tag list: @taybird
Tumblr media
Unlike Jean, Connie did give you an idea of where you were going. He told you to bring some sandals and a light outfit and "not to worry about swimming because I know you don't want to mess up your hair- or makeup". There was a high chance you would be going to the beach where you had your first solo date. It was also the first time you talked about Connie being your husband. He said something about being "wise" about your decision. Now that you think about it, there was a pattern of Connie trying to avoid the fact that you two would have to be in love. You wondered if he'd bring that up again while proposing to you. You wouldn't want to say no to Connie if he did that but the whole friend zone thing is a BIG turnoff (y'all's words, not mine 😉)
But there was a positive side to this maybe? You already knew Connie and he had a higher advantage than Jean. You wouldn't even have to think about building a connection with him because you already had one. But the problem was love. You knew would enter a relationship with Jean, y'all would be lovey-dovey BUT you would need to build a friendship too.
Damn, this was hard. But this would all be over soon. You'd get a big wedding and if you didn't like Connie or Jean, you could move on. It's not like you're signing papers at the televised ceremony.
But anyways 😭 let's starts Connie's date. No time for analysis!
Tumblr media
Connie had texted you that he was outside. You grabbed your purse and left the mansion. When you got outside, Connie was leaning on his car, being handsome and all.
"Hey," you greet him. You hold your arms out, hoping for a hug or even a kiss. Connie steps forward leans towards you but his head goes to the side and he's hugging you. Would this guy wait till the possible engagement before getting romantic with you or would the rest of your marriage be like this?
Connie pulls away. "I'm really excited," he says. You want to yell at him right now but the day just started. Maybe he was doing all this to lead you on and make sure you want to fight for him. To be real, this was getting tiring. Connie better be doing something big!
"I'm really excited to see what you have in store for me as well," you reply. Other than seeing Connie's next moves or his proposal, you were excited about the food. You knew Connie could cook, it was in his genes and he did cook for you multiple times throughout the show. As Connie opens the passenger seat for you, you begin to ask him what was on the menu today.
"Well, I've noticed how nauseous you get when under the pressure, so I made egg sandwiches and I packed juices and water. I hope that's alright. When we get engaged, I'll make you a big meal. I promise," Connie says before closing your door.
You thought it was sweet that Connie took note of that. When he got into the driver's seat, you gave him a small smile before opening your mouth. "Thank you, Connie. I really appreciate the fact that you thought about that."
Connie starts the car and begins the drive to the venue. There wasn't much talking done, probably because you would bring up the whole friendship thing. You wanted to get that settled but you also wanted to see what Connie has planned. These two dates weren't just about you saying yes or no but it was a way to see how much Jean and Connie wanted you. If there were problems in the past, they would try and fix them now.
Minutes later you were at the beach (you were right😁). Connie found parking and got out of the car to get the food. You got out on your own. It was weird not having someone rush to your side to open your door. Connie met you on your side of the car and offered you his hand. You can't remember him doing that before (if he has, forgive me yall🧍🏾‍♀️). But his hands felt nice, so you couldn't complain.
The same table from your solo date remained there. "Hey, Connie, just for you, I'll get in the water," you suddenly say. "Huh?! Really?!" he explains. 'Gosh, what a kid,' you think. "You just made this better, y/n! Thank you!" Connie continues. "Just my feet though. I didn't come here to get baptized or anything."
Connie places the picnic basket with all the little things he packed for you. He then proceeds to pull a chair out for you. When you sit, he pulls out one egg sandwich for you. "Juice or water?" Connie asks. "Um, (juice/water)," you reply. He places the drink of your choice in front of you and finally sits down. Connie sets up his food and is ready to dig in until he notices that you haven't touched any of your food.
"Hey...is everything alright? You feel sick?"
You shake your head. "Connie, we need to talk."
Connie sits up slowly. "What's up?"
You liked that Connie was able to see that something was up. This would be useful if you got married.
"How long are you going to friendzone me?"
Connie chokes in his spit. "What?"
"I mean sure we've been lovey-dovey but I still don't feel that romantic connection. If I do say yes to you, I expect us to start acting like a couple. I want you to be my husband, not my friend."
Connie is silent for a minute and then he opens his mouth. "But people who are friends-"
"Oh, shut up. You can be my friend but I want a husband! Please, stop bringing up those statistics and love me!"
You never thought you would be throwing a mini tantrum over a man. Is this who we are? Is this what we represent?
"Come with me," Connie says. You're hesitant to get up until he offers his hand to you. You take it and he pulls you up from the chair.
Connie slowly leads you down the water and you start to freak out mentally. Was he going to drown for telling him off? Connie wasn't that crazy right?
As you walked, you felt yourself slipping out of your shoes. The sand didn't hesitate to fill in the gaps of your toes and tickle your feet. The further you went, the deeper you were. Connie was just walking like it was nothing. You reached the water and Connie came to a stop. For a moment, he stared out into the ocean. You just stared at your feet. The waves pushed the water on your feet causing you to sink more into the sand. This was the world. You were on the edge. You weren't going to live for long, so you had to make the best of it.
"y/n, I hear your cries for love and I'm willing to give it to you. Marry me. I'll work on myself and you'll work on yourself. I promise you, I'll do anything to grow old with you."
Connie’s ring didn’t come in a box. He just pulled it out from his pocket. It was a diamond covered band with a halo shaped sapphire right in the middle.
Tumblr media
damn, wonder who y’all gonna choose🤒 LINK
if you’re curious about how these rings look like, here:
connie (left) jean (right , however, his doesn’t match the description i wrote😒)
also, sorry for the white hand. i took a buzzfeed quiz

Character Intro: Reese, The Guardian Trilogy
Hello and welcome to my first ever character introduction! I'll be posting a couple of introductions today so keep an eye out! I don't really know how to do these so please lmk if I'm breaking some unspoken law of writeblr.
REESE (She/Her/Hers)
Tumblr media
This is vaguely what Reese looks like, I used this picrew. I don't know if I'll keep that scar, I was just kinda playing around, but an option that was missing from the picrew that involves Reese's appearance is tattoos! Reese has black lines running in jagged and sharp angles all over her body, including her neck and throat.
Reese is the protagonist of The Guardian Trilogy, the story is told from her perspective. She is what's known as a Guardian. Guardians are people who lack the ability to connect to the life force of the world (also known as the Blossom) but are trained to fight the Lost Souls, vampiric creatures that feed off of the life force within people and the Blossom. Guardians are Paired with a Soul, someone who has the ability to manipulate their connection to the life force and the Blossom. Reese's Soul is Wil, who I will introduce later today.
That's who Reese is from a story perspective, but now it's time to examine her character a little more closely...
Character Name: Reese
Hair: dark brown
Eye: green
Weight: 175-200lbs
Height: 5'7"-5'9"
Build: This bitch is BUILT she's spent most of her life training to fight creatures bigger, faster, and stronger than her. She's lean and muscular, with broad, toned shoulders. She has lots of scars from training, and could probably pop a watermelon like a balloon with her thighs. It just be like that.
Age: She's in her early to mid twenties, around the age of becoming an independent adult and ready to find her own way in the world.
Clothing: She wears pretty typical athletic clothes for the world, form fitting but not tight. She has full range of motion in her everyday clothes, but when she's on a mission or doing her duty as a Guardian, she also wears leather armor across her torso and on her forearms. She's not wealthy or particularly well-known, so she doesn't have special clothing or armor she can use as a status symbol amongst the other Guardians.
Personal Item: The things she carries around everywhere are her dearest weapons. They protect her and Wil from the Lost Souls. Her short sword, a fantasy-looking sword that resembles the Roman Falcata. It has a pretty decent chopping blade with a hook on the opposite side for ripping and tearing. She also carries a push knife. It's a knife with a horizontal handle so that the blade settles between the fingers like a very sharp knuckle. These weapons are strategically important to fighting the Lost Souls, because the only injury Lost Souls can't heal using the life force they consume, is by being stabbed through the roof of the mouth. This makes it really difficult to kill them. Reese in order to survive a fight must disarm their attacks, get in close, and stab through the mouth into the brain using her push knife.
Likes: Reese loves herself. She thinks she's hot shit. Between being a brick wall of a human being and having her Guardian tattoos, she's overly confident. She likes fighting and causing trouble. Another weird thing she likes is technology. It's not like digital tech like you and I would know, but like the analogue tech that her society has developed over time. Their society is incredibly nature-focused. They worship their food and the natural resources they use to survive. Everything is taken with respect, and that means they're not very industrialized like our world is. But the invention that fascinates her the most is what we would call an elevator. Many villages are suspended in the trees, to protect from wild animals and Lost Souls. But for those who can't climb ladders or stairs, there is a pulley mechanical system that raises and lowers a large platform from the ground to the treetops. Reese is well aware of the different abilities and conditions the people around her are in, and therefore she finds adaptive technology like the "elevation mech" completely fascinating and great.
Dislikes: Wil. She hates Wil. Wil is suuuuuuper annoying and Reese hates her. She thinks Wil is nerdy and over confident (*cough* hypocrite *cough*) and privileged in a way she believes Wil will never understand.
Family: Reese has a grandfather, but she doesn't know her parents or any siblings she may have.
Ethnical Background: So this world isn't structured the same way ours are, ethnicities aren't like, European, Latino, etc. In fact, the world has only really one continent and several isolated islands on the other side of the planet where there are no humans living. Reese (and Wil) is from the central area of the continent, not too far from the Blossom (the central tree that her society considers the birth of all life and the center of their world). So that's probably the closest thing to an ethnicity they have. They're from the central zone.
Educational Background: Reese has a very low education level. She didn't attend school for most of her life, and only started learning her trade (as a Guardian) when she got into too much trouble to talk herself out of. She's been training for a good portion of her life.
Personality Type: Reese is a mess of a person. She's angry and a little self-absorbed and perhaps a little mean. But she also has an overall pretty optimistic view of the world. She believes it can be changed for the better. And she believes there's a lot that needs to be changed. She wants to be a part of that change, but she has no idea where to start or what to do. So when she's handed the opportunity to climb up the social ladder as a Guardian, she takes it.
Brief Life History: Reese grew up not far from the Blossom. She was a trouble maker in her childhood and as an early teen, she got into some serious trouble. I haven't decided what exactly yet. She was offered the opportunity to train to become a Guardian, and she seizes the opportunity to climb the social ladder out of her terrible socioeconomic status. We meet her when she is about to be Paired (to Wil) and, in her opinion, her life really begins.
Personal Goals: Reese has a few goals. But central most to her character arc, she wants to redeem herself. She messed up as a kid, and she needs the glory and status that comes with being a successful Guardian for a talented Soul. Her external goals change with the plot of the story, but her internal goal remains the same, she needs to prove herself.
Quirks: This kid is touch-starved. She grew up with the only way of being touched was through violence and fighting, sparring, hitting people. She has NO IDEA what to do with herself when eventually someone is kind to her physically. But not long after that first experience, she becomes addicted. It becomes her favorite thing to hug the people she cares about and to just touch and be touched. She needs it and she assumes other people need it too. She's not totally wrong, but like, the kid needs a hug.
And that is my character introduction for Reese! I would love to hear yalls thoughts, and if you would like to be added to the tag list for TGT let me know and I'll be happy to add you!

How to make BBQ Mac n cheese
First you boil your water, like a sensible person. I suggest keeping the lid on while you wait, makes it go faster because the water doesnt have to see you and isn't afraid. Watched pots never boil.
Tumblr media
Next you'll be added the noodles, I usually just do boxed mac and cheese but if you want to be extra fancy get some whole wheat elbow macaroni at the store. But who the hell has the money for that shit?
Tumblr media
Anyways you're going to let it boil for around like 9 minutes, depending on what the box says, and make sure to stir it because the pasta needs to know you still care about it. Be kind to your pasta, we're making this with love.
Tumblr media
And while the pasta is cooking and you have nothing to do I suggest you go and pet your dog. Or your cat or your unshaven leg hair I don't know your life. Whatever is easiest for you.
Tumblr media
Then once the noodles are cooked I'll strain them in something with small enough holes that the noodles don't fall through, like a strainer. Or whatever you have..
Tumblr media
Then I'll dump them back in the pot like nothing happened, you might think this part of the process is a little redundant but it's a very important part of cooking bbq mac.
Tumblr media
Next you'll add the milk, cheese mix, and butter like the mindless slave you are. Following directions from a box what the hell are you doing with your life. Anyways, add more butter and cheat the system. Tastes better that way.
Tumblr media
Once it's all mixed together the real fun begins, you'll be adding some spices like salt and pepper. Wow so fancy you might think but no, you just dont have any taste. I use Montreal steak seasoning because it adds just more flavor.
Tumblr media
You don't want too much or else you'll overload your tastebuds with too much spices and you'll start blaming me for giving you a faulty recipe. Don't blame me, I'm just here for fan service.
And here you'll be adding the extra cheeses like grated cheddar and cream cheese. If you have a fiesta blend that works but I suggest hand grated medium cheddar as it works the best with the cheese. And if it's too thick you can always add more milk.
Tumblr media
Now we will add the bbq sauce and make this exactly what yall came here for. I suggest a hickory smoke flavor as it gives the best after taste. Try to stay away from the more tangy bbq sauces when adding this american nectar.
Tumblr media
Be generous with it but not too generous. You can always add more later.
And there you have your bbq Mac and cheese. You could add some meats like pulled pork, bacon bits or hot dogs to make it even better but this is the base recipe. Good for you if you've made it this far.
Enjoy your amalgamation of a slightly better mac and cheese. You're welcome.

Spoilers!!!! Charmed 02x04
Okay yall. I love this episode, but this one is actually my least favorite so far. I have a couple of, not concerns, but more than nitpicks, about some things this episode. Overall I'd still give it a 7/10. It was paced well and the added lore was top notch so far and cant wait for more. Anyways, again I will start with things I liked, then move on to the things I didnt, and end with some highlights.
Likes:
1. Mel! Overall Mel is a champ and even though she had big romance storylines, and they developed her character in small ways throughout the first season, I still felt we need more Mel. This episode not only did a good job if staying true to the mel that was built in season 1 but adding onto her. Mel seems to detest the idea of uselessness or at least of being powerless. Which makes sense not only as a minority and a woman but as a lesbian. She grew up not having to hide and with a mother who basically told them they were powerful strong and could do anything. Which is wonderful, but breeds that room for those types of insecurities.
2. Hacy
So actually not that much big hacy moments in comparison to previous episoded, but I love how they are the two interrogating abby and the moment they shared with the safe word.
That said I also didn't like the need for one when Macy said she would just know. Although I argue that the fact she even asked for the safe word was because she knew. Because she tells her sisters to go, trusting him, before she looks onto his eyes. Then when he leans in to touch her and orb them out, either she is put off by the over enthused smirk (he was too happy for the situation) or she wanted to get a look into his eyes. Because if you look at her facial expressions as she is looking into her eyes she seems to doubt that he is Harry and then asks for the safe word before he orbs them out.
I also think they missed a hacy opportunity when he warns Macy to be careful
Harry: she's half demon
Macy: so am I
Harry: but you are you
I'll explain further in the disliked section
4. Maggie and Jordan. Okay so I really like these two together. Hold up though. I like it as a slow developing relationship. Jordan is in a different life stage than Maggie imo. If he were single and went after her immediately or they started a romance I wouldnt like that. Him having someone and Maggie growing up and them building a solid friendship first is what I am here for. I'll talk about her powers later. What I was curious about was the ring on Jordand finger since the camera focus for a bit on his hand when he mentioned his family. I hope he doesnt come from a line of witch hunters or turns out to be some sort of creature later on. I mean on one hand that would be cool and a twist, especially if he remains the same (like doesnt change into a villian just turns out has some history) because I feel like it would be a way of doing the Galvin family history right. I mean I think that is what I enjoyed about Galvins storyline, him being able to help out because of his family history. But they didnt do much with it given the limited screen time. So if they could do something similar with Jordan and give it appropiate attention I would love it. But if they tried to use it for drama I wouldnt because it would be too much like parkerita. Let maggie grow up and have a healthy mature relationship without deception and scary families involved!
5. Dark!Harry as a Darklighter and a Hunter
So I mean we still don't know exactly what darklighters are. I mean we know that they are part of the whitelighter (one person split in half) but we dont know if the elders trained them for a specific purpose. I mean Darry got fighting skills and some resourcefulness. For to come from no where, but the fact he is after powerful beings (so far we dont know exactly why) and he has a connection with Harry is really interesting and has so many possibilities moving forward and I especially love the further similarities is draws to Macy.
Harry (unlike macy) has been split in two he has lived with this unknown part of him that differs from everything he was taught and believed about himself. Like macy this side of him appears to be "evil", although I have a feeling is probably more complicated than that since it obviously is for Macy. So harry has this "dark side". Which will be interesting if they ever have to or can merge the two.
Right now it appears that Darry has nothing to do with the Demon wars (unless you believe he and abby are working together).
Now onto dislikes:
1. Abby. Hold up y'all! I actually love this villainess. I just have some concerns about her background. And also have some thoughts about her possible future role.
So I love that she wants to bring down the patriarchy of the demon world. Her being Caine seems unnecessary, and brings up some questions.
Why didn't Parker ever mention her? He mentioned Hunter. She knew about him. So it would seem a fair assumption that Parker knew about her.
I don't mind adding lore to the previous seasons as long as they make sense. So far what they have added doesn't negate what was established last season (season 1 contradicted itself a couple of times), but with Abby as a Caine they will have to make double sure they don't add anything that would contradict season 1.
Abby as bisexual. Like I love when shows give some bisexual representation! But I am always weary when bisexuals are the villians and they are the only bisexual characters in the show. I am not bisexual, so I can't really say whether the show is doing this well or not well. It is just something I try to be considerate of and so when it happens I am always a bit nervous about it.
2. The Vera-Vaugh sisterhood (mostly on Macy's part). Okay so I am treading lightly on this topic and also would like to point out that I am coming at this from my Latina perspective. But I feel that Macy sees her place and he relationship with her sisters from the "Good Mexican" perspective. Meaning she does crave that connection to her sisters but also views herself as the other. More so she view her sisters as thinking over her as "the good half demon" and for Macy that isnt enough. It still feels like a rejection of part of her. Which in some cases is, but I think for her sisters it isnt that way at all. They dont view her as "a good half-demon" they see her as Macy and as thier sister. But I feel that since Macy, given how she grew up and the insecurities we know she has from season 1, isnt getting the memo. She now knows that her sisters actually love her and will stick with her, but she no longer is craving acceptance, she wants understanding and commonality. Which for her, her sisters cannot give her not just because they are different but because they view the situation differently.
Abby is playing to that so well. I was upset that Macy would reveal the way she got her demon side. It seems not only like a bad move as far as trusting someone you claim not to trust but also just common sense given that I would thing you wouldnt want other demons knowing how to create more demons from humans. Anyways, abby's line of having more in common with each other was pretty brilliant given the little amount of time she has spent with any of them.
I think it is possible, from the patriarchy conversation, that Abby eventually would try to recruit Macy to join her in trying to take over the demon world. That said I am not sure so far if Abby would actually like to share power with anyone. We still dont know much about her character. So her development moving forward will be interesting.
Moving back to the sisters. I think if moving forward the show would do little things to address the issue it would help not only to further build the relationship between the sisters but the power of 4. Things like the line I added between Macy and Harry would show Macy that they are seeming the situation differently. It wont allieviate What Macy is feeling or the fact she still has to figure out what exactly it means to be a half demon or if it does have meaning out side the societal implications.
3. Whitelighter lore. Don't come for me! I love the added lore. I just have some nitpicks.
Alpha. So if the first whitelighter was from Salem then how is there and Egyptian hieroglyph for a whitelighter? Unless the elders just to a hieroglyph and decided to make that one the one for whitelighter? ("Hey what's that" other elder: "I combined two hieroglyph want to use that for our new whitelighters?" First elder: hell yah!)
Okay so if these two are one person made into two and are connected. Then how connected are they? I mean I assume we will get more detail as the show progresses so I am not made about it, but the alpha is always kept near the split part. So in the beginning was it that they couldnt be too far apart or else something bad would happen? Or is it that what happens to one happens to the other. Dark!Harry tried to kill Harry so we could assume that that isnt the case because it would be a death sentence for both (unless dark!harry didnt know and just lucked out be the fact that Harry and him are now immortal because Harry's tie to the elders was severed). Lots of questions regarding what exactly dark!harry knows or doesnt know.
4. Maggie's powers. Dont get me wrong, I love the foresight and its relation to premonitions and Marisol, but it is gonna need some careful explaining. They established that witches are traced through these powers and that the sisters were stripped of them. So then what is this foresight? It cant be a part of her old powers because those were stripped. But if this is a new power can it be used to track the sisters? Or is it something else? A power but unrelated to the powers and triggered by an outside agent (not necessarily a person). Will Mel start to develop new powers as well or again is there something going on with Maggie?
Highlights:
Mel chugging like a champ!
Tumblr media
Maggie's constant touching of Jordan when trying to trigger her new powers. Not awkward at all Mags...
Tumblr media
The satisfied look on Darry's face when he is about to orb Macy and him out (I still cant believe the girls werent suspicious of how Harry found orbed to them when none of them called for him)
Tumblr media
(I was gonna give credit to the gif maker and had written down who it was but lost the paper and cant remember which of the people I saved this from. So if this is your gif let me know! So I can edit and give yah the credit you deserve! Sorry about that! If I find the paper before yah recognize the gif I will edit)
Abby's recount of being attacked by Darry. I was enjoying the steaminess.
Tumblr media
Anyways that's all on my part! Comment, send asks or message me, if y'all want to discuss something I mentioned or didnt mention about this episode or the series in general! Not looking forward the the inevitable break that will occur but cant wait for episodes 5 and 6!
