I NEARLY lost this one in the pile of other things going on! Sorry for the delay!

Bubba Sawyer (1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre-Leatherface)

He's a big boy and new to the game so he's eager to learn. He has always had pretty or handsome victims but never worked on any urges that fell upon him. You are the one who was the willing victim of a cannibal.

When you're cuddling he usually keeps a pair of lounge pants on over his boxers, even in this hot Texas weather. He is very self conscious and had never really wanted to show you under his shirt, but as the days grew hotter he had to take it off eventually.

When you tell him you're in "The Mood", he is puzzled at first and then OVERLY enthusiastic. He won't say it, but you can see in his eyes an air of "I'M READY, C'MON, LET'S DO THIS!" the most determined you've seen him in a LONG time!

He slips his mask off, setting it on a stand atop the dresser. He looks at himself in the vanity mirror, brushing his messy hair out of his eyes with his fingers. He winks at you before making his way over to the bed.

He lay back on the bed, watching adamantly as you strip down. As the shirt slips off onto the floor, you notice the tent in his pants.

"We haven't even started the fun part, Bubba"

He's smiling ear to ear, eagerly twiddling his thumbs and stretching out his legs, trying to make comfortable his trapped bulge.

When your underwear finally go, he squeezed his thighs together, pulling his knees in and tucking them close to his belly and biting his lip. He's terribly aroused and the anticipation is getting to him.

As you climb in the bed, pulling his pants off, he sighs. What a relief it is to him to finally let his member free. You start to slip his boxers off and he makes a noise as though he's uneasy. Perhaps you're moving too fast.

Laying your head on his belly and looking up at him, he smiles down at you, blushing a deep crimson. He's new and eager, but he's still anxious. How can you ease the tension?

You blow on his belly, making a goofy fart noise. He starts laughing. A hearty Texan man's laugh hits you like a freight train.

"It doesn't have to be scary, Bubba. We can have fun too!"

He looks much happier. All the expectations he thought you'd be looking for seem to leave his mind like a weight off his shoulders.

As you settle yourself in his arms, straddling his waist you place small kisses on his cheeks, leading to a long, sloppy make out session.

You begin to trail kisses down his neck, much to his pleasure. Bubba pants hard, his body arching toward you with every soft touch. He lets out a whimper and you feel the heat in his chest and underwear below you.

You turn around and slip his underwear off, a thick and decent sized member stiff in your hands. As you begin to palm at his member each touch is a new sensation for Bubba.

He whines softly, lifting his hips off the bed to meet your touch. The soft whining escalates to a series of grunts and moans. Before you can go too far he sits up abruptly.

"Bubba is everything okay?"

He nods, his chest and face are redder than a strawberry as he lifts you back onto his lap, pushing his member up against you, not sure where to go but going for it.

You readjust yourself on top of him. His tip just barely at your entrance.

"Are you ready?"

He nods so quickly he could get whiplash and you begin to press gentle kisses against his panting lips as you place pressure on him. He wraps his arms around you with a yelp, he's holding on tight like a hug as you descend onto him. Thick and hot as it enters you, you shudder going down, letting out a loud moan.

He jumps a bit worried he's hurt you, only forcing himself further into you, moaning softly himself. His eyes full of love and adoration for you as he gently bucks his hips upward, head on your shoulder.

"Oh Bubba, you're doing so so good, such a good job!"

Oh how he loves your praise, it only makes him buck more, pushing in deep enough to touch your g spot but not enough to really hit it.

"You won't hurt me, Bubba. You can go at your own pace, I'll catch up!"

That's what he wanted to hear. This feeling has been bottled up inside of him for years, and when it comes to you on top of him, in his embrace and his only real love, he goes all-out. He sits up, flipping you both over and he's on top. He's in control for the first time in his life and it's all because the one he loves trusts him.

He carefully lays a pillow beneath your head and back to give you some support as he wraps your legs around his waist and leans into you. Your arms wrapped around his neck as he begins to enter you once again. He pushes HARD, not enough to hurt you but enough to get as far as he can inside you. He's practically lifted you off the bed trying to get comfortable for you, trying his best to keep his weight off of you.

His frustration leads to him lifting you up and bucking into you. Gripping your rear and pushing straight up reaching depths you previously thought impossible. The pressure built up in yourself about to release, your legs tingling from this all too new sensation.

His moans heavy in your ear as he pulls you in close. As yours get louder, his follow shortly behind. You can't hold it anymore.

"Bubba I'm going to-"

He nods, pushing as hard as he has this entire night. Your body releases, cumming as he does, filling you with his own.

He huffs and lay back, he's completely spent his energy but he's got such a look of pure bliss on his face as he reaches out for you to come to him.

He pulls you in for a kiss, holding you tight and making sure you're alright. He kisses your cheek and holds you tight on his belly and chest. For now, he just wants to cuddle and hold you. Later, he'll tend to the bruises on your rear.

Thomas Brown Hewitt (2003/06 Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning-)

Thomas isn't new to self pleasure, hell he lives with Hoyt. You know that dirty old man had naughty magazines and films laying around.

The heat that lie between you and Thomas was different. You're a human being and he feels far different for you than some naked floozy on an old magazine. He actually LOVES you.

After a long day at the farm, Thomas comes upstairs and climbs in the shower, discarding his mask in his side table and his clothes on the floor.

When you see the clothes you know, tonight's the night. He's gonna be all cleaned up and smelling fresh and better yet, in a towel. You climb on the bed and strip down to nothing, climbing under the covers in his cool room.

Thomas walks in, flipping on the light to see you bundled up in his bed. He smiles at you, brushing his long hair out of his face. He reaches for a pair of boxers when you blurt out:

"You won't need those tonight."

He blushes, he knows what he's fantasizing of and he's not sure if it's reality or not until he closes the door behind him and you stand in front of him, nude.

He gazes over you, taking in every inch of your body visually. He breathes shakily, getting ahead of himself.

You cut to the chase, kissing him hard and throwing his towel to the floor. He moans softly at the touch of your hand on his chest and the grip on his long member. This was a surprise to him and he's been waiting for this moment.

He picks you up-still locked at the lips- and throws you onto the bed, the soft pillows catching your landing. He climbs on top of you and spreads your legs wide, his tongue prepping his entrance to come, but tasting you. He takes his time, your moans only making him more eager and excited. He finally climbs up the bed, grabbing the pillows behind your head and slamming himself into you without warning. You let out a loud moan that only fuels his desires. Your body was ready, but you were surprised. You feel filled to the brim with him and only more to come. His still-wet hair dripping onto your body as the steam from the shower rolls off of him. The warmth of his body against yours as he thrusts is insane against the cold sheets and air conditioning.

His kisses brim your ever moaning mouth, the louder you get the faster he gets until you're practically screaming. (Thank god no one's home.)

He sits up, a tight grip on your thighs as he slows down, thrusting hard and deep until you scream. You're so close and his grunts and moans are only readying you further, his hands squeezing your thighs hard as he reaches your g-spot. The tension your body had is replaced by a feeling of warmth and toes curling when you finally finish, an absolutely blissful feeling in all this rough man's idea of love.

He's not done yet, but he's very close. He flips your legs up on his shoulders, he's determined to finish, relentlessly thrusting and speeding up as he gets closer. He lets out a LOUD moan, followed by small gasps as he cums, both inside of you and on your stomach.

He climbs up beside you, wrapping you in his arms and embracing you. He gives you multiple small kisses before throwing the blanket on top of you both and laying your head on his massive chest...

Aaaaaaaand he's asleep. He snores softly and he's smiling even in slumber. You can't be mad, he really put a lot into this. When he wakes up, maybe you could go for round 2... or 3... or 6.

We won't judge you 💕😉

~~~

HOPE YOU ENJOY!

Xovarkzis

Here’s the last god/goddess I made so far! More to come im sure lmao

| Name: Xovarkzis (pronunciation: Zo-Vark-Zis) God of Time (also has some power over life and death)

| Nicknames: Xo (again pronounced as Zo) or Vark/Ark

| Gender: He/Him, They/Them, She/Her, and It/It’s, gender doesn’t STRICTLY matter for them, you can call them a god or a goddess either one

| Age: It’s speculated that perhaps Xovarkzis has been around since the beginning of time, their specific age is unknown BUT it’s clear that he is over countless centuries old

| Height: 500ft (when they come down to visit Earth they shift down to about 6’3”)

| Species/Race: Well its obvious but still, just to reiterate- God/Goddess

| Hair Color: The left side of his hair is White and the right side of his hair is Black (his hair is a quiff style)

| Eye Color: Left eye is pure white and the right eye is pure black (they have a third eye on their forehead that is mixed between black n white, it isn’t two eyes, its just one eye with split colors, the left side of the eye is pure white and of course the right side is pure black)

| Skin Color/Body Type: The left side of his body is black and the right side is white (ayo a bit of a reversal there lmao) and he’s pretty lanky tbh

| Appearance: She’s got a few outfits BUT the main one is a white toga with a long black silk piece that’s draped over his shoulder (it’s got some white wording sewn into it but the language seems to be unknown, Xo’s language has been lost for centuries, you’d be lucky to find ANYONE aside from the goddess themself that speaks it or can even translate it, if you REALLY wanna know I’ll tell you, it’s basically going to translate into a blessing) it wears black and white victorian style boots (you know the boot got them h e e l s) for some reason he seems to have antlers, b i g ones- likewise the left side is a white antler and the right side is a black antler, he has necklaces hanging from those antlers full of Turritella Agate stones(it is believed to help in times of change, dispelling negative thoughts and reliving conditions of fatigue) and Snowflake Obsidian stones (it’s a 'stone of purity' bringing balance to the body, mind, and spirit. Said to be beneficial for the skin and veins) and she has a necklace she wears on her neck that is a Sodalite Stone (it helps to calm and clear the mind, bring joy and relieve a heavy heart. Said to aid the metabolism and lymphatic system)

He wears a white glove on his left hand and then a black one on the right (they cut the tips out of them so their black and white claws can peep through BUT ONLY for the claws, I’ll explain the gloves being a VERY crucial detail in side facts)

They have razor sharp teeth (they also have a circle beard btw, it being the colors of each part of the respective skin color ya know), their ears are pointed and they also wear black n white gauges and other earrings of that color in their ears as well, that’s all for the jewelry however- they can also grow black and white wings (v feathery n fluffy wings), they also have a black based tail and then white fluff at the end (p much a dragon-esque looking tail), they seem to have a few scars here and there but nothing TOO major, it just appears to be from a few fights that must’ve ensued sometime in her life.

| Personality: Xovarkzis is an… Interesting being, it usually spends time by itself, tending to her own world and keeping everything in order, he’s usually VERY calm and collected in every situation possible since he’s seen it all pretty much, they’ve seen most outcomes when it comes to life, all the questions, the answers, etc- Xovarkzis is essentially almost an all knowing being, when it comes to fighting Xo has never been one to choose a side, they always stay out of matters that don’t concern them, it’s just… What happens a f t e r a fight, especially if it gets… Messy… They do warn of the consequences of every action, every choice has it’s consequences and if someone thinks they are ABOVE consequences? They are a fool, even Xovarkzis to be as powerful and high ranking being as she is, even he’ll admit he is not free from consequence and he never will be...

Xovarkzis finds mortals to be such… Interesting beings, Xo loved to study them whenever they could, always watching and observing from afar whatever it may be, whether their making decisions and choices or simply going about their life… Life ...Another subject as well as death, that Xo knows very well, Xo’s seen such much death in her centuries, at first she had questioned why death had to really exist, why did people have to be taken, taken away from their loved ones, taken away from the living, and so… Easily too... Ark had even gone as far to see if it could even s t o p death but hah, when they look back at that, such a f o o l i s h desire, death, albeit a tragedy by most… Can be beautiful in many ways, a lot fear death, Ark cannot blame them nor would she ever BUT, people tend to forget, there IS still beauty in death just as there is beauty in life.

Xovarkzis always tries to show any mortals that wind up before them that fact, it’s not a way to ease them into death, there is no such way to ease into death unfortunately, but there’s still the beauty, at the VERY least Xo can show them that before leading them to their final destination, Xo might be the god/goddess of life and death (as well as time which I’ll get to in a moment) but they cannot bring a person back from the dead, that would go against EVERYTHING they believe in and it’s impossible anyways, death is permanent, and even if there were a way, if they brought them back, that person would NEVER be the same… Well in THAT regard anyways BUT there is a… “Special Rule” If a person is taken before their time is up? ...There CAN be a pardon but it depends on the person really and the situation, and it still goes against what Xo believes in, in, well a way but… Sometimes an exception needs to be made, if their time was not up and it happened to be an… “Unfortunate” circumstance then they must continue on their journey.

Xo will even admit “Despite my beliefs… Your time has n o t run out… There is still so much you must do, so much to accomplish… So, just this once, I will send you back… But remember, life isn’t something you should take for granted, so many loved ones, whether it be a friend, family, or partner… You have someone who truly cares about you out there, so try and live life to the fullest every day possible… Remember, you w o n ‘ t get another chance like this, next time, it will be permanent I’m afraid…” now as for time, Xo holds time with a fondness… Time can be a blessing and a… Curse to some… Xo used to see time as a curse but they learned quickly, you must do what you can and will with the time you are given, never be afraid to get out there and do whatever it is you desire, time may seem so short… It may even feel as though time is plotting and working against you, but that is simply not true… It’s all about working with the time you are given, there is no such thing as more or less with time, and you had better make the most of the time you ARE given, for one day, your clock, as will everyone else’s, will run out.

Xo keeps the time in order (kinda like father time in a way), she CAN control it in a way, meaning it can stop and start time BUT there could only be one reason for stopping, starting, and speeding up time- And if that reason EVER comes to pass ...Whatever god/goddess/being you worship, you had better p r a y to them, pray as hard as you can… (Xo cannot reverse time however technically speaking, unless you wish to count them bringing a person back via unfortunate circumstances then I suppose in a way she can do that but still) Xo’s always been fascinated with how time worked to be honest, it’s interesting all the things time can make happen… Mortals, plants, etc- those grow up, worlds they age and sometimes become more progressive than others, and mostly people change with time, some anyways- Everything changes with time marching ahead, and that, to Xo is a wonderful thing…

That’s honestly the best I can sum them up?? There’s obvs gonna be more to them but for now this is good for personality basis (Xo despite being so blunt with things, Xo is a sweetheart who just wants the best for everyone, just wants peace, equality, and for people to live life to their fullest potential, Xo wants to see them succeed, failure? ...Failure is natural and should not be something to fear, you can always learn from the mistakes you make and next time you try something, then you’ll know what to avoid next time around, failure in a way should be treated as growth, as growing and learning because it is)

| Side Facts: Xo isn’t one for weapons BUT it does wield a black handled scythe that has a white blade attached to it (if you REALLY want, Xo can be technically called a Reaper even if he is much more than that, but if you wish to classify her as that then so be it), Ark’s world is also made up of black and white (literally if you look at the world, it’s split down the middle, black and white, nothing more nothing less, it’s world is actually considered a “Void” given that there isn’t anything really there, the only thing there in the split is Xo’s “throne” of course because it’s literally right in the center of the world it’s black and white as well, they have decorated it with various stones (like the Turritella, Snowflake, and Sodalite stones) there are a few others that are p much otherworldly, those stones can only be found in Xo’s world (I’ll leave those up to interpretation lmao), there ARE shelves lining the “room” however full of hourglasses, all of various types, various names are labelled on them.

Even Xo’s own, for even Xo, despite being a god/goddess n such, does have a due date himself, all the gods/goddesses do, one day their time will be up just like everyone else’s, granted… They D O live a LOT longer than mortals, animals, etc… Hence why their hourglasses are so big and almost infinite, but Xo knows, deep down, despite their infinite size, the sand will reach the bottom one day and then that will be it… Xo isn’t scared of death anymore, they haven’t been for MANY centuries now (they used to be afraid, they used to not understand why they had to even deal with the things they did, why they were the god/goddess they were, but one day, it finally understood… And that was that)

(If Xo and Thanatos (side note, i do realize that’s an actual god name but this one in particular i made is… woo b o y, just- yikes), but Xo and Thanatos would honestly be at each other’s throats, Xo has never liked picking a side in a fight, has never been one for fighting anyway- but Thanatos would disrupt EVERYTHING… That sick disgusting excuse for a god doesn’t even deserve his status, he treats death like a game for his entertainment, he’ll LITERALLY go out of his own way to make everyone suffer in any way he can, and Xo will not have any mockery and slander toward life nor death in this way so those two would c l a s h)

You would think Xo would live forever given their status and being the god they are BUT, it’s definitely not true! They can even be killed even though ...That’s LITERALLY near impossible, not ABSOLUTELY impossible but still, someone would have to get a REALLY lucky and fatal shot in, however even if they were to fade (if Xo dies, imma say this right now, there’ll be a spotlight on them and they’ll start fading away into little specs and drifting into the wind) the balance of life, death, and time will not implode, there are many other gods/goddesses that will be ready to take Ark’s place even if it may be sooner than expected, there’s always a chance after all…

Also fine, yeah- Unus Annus inspired me p heavily here BUT not ENTIRELY?? I just wanted to make another god/goddess for the world, Osmundus has never met Xo despite Xo sometimes visiting other worlds/Earth, and literally meeting his husband- speaking of… Arvish? ...Xo will forever remember what he did to everyone, to all the mortals, his own people even, everyone he hurt and killed- However, Xo holds no grudges, Xo will not haunt him, besides Vark knows deep down Arvish is tormented constantly by his own head, it’s a wonder the old beast hasn’t driven himself insane with all that guilt, Xo has told him before however “You cannot change the past, what’s done is done… However… ...You can make anew for yourself, it all depends on the choices you make in the remainder of your life, so if I were you, I would make the right choices as best I could” Arvish… Took Xo’s words to heart especially, and told Xo he’d try his best.

Also one thing they have to question now… ...Why is it that the mortals want them to say “Memento Mori” so much? Granted, they DO know what it means and even the words “Unus Annus” I mean she knows what BOTH words mean but it seems to hold such value and significance to the mortals...

After the heist I want Raquel to pack her bag and get some money as Lisbon and leave Sergio ...She should stay with her family in some paradise.Monica will also join her ... They both should focus on raising their children and casual dating with guys..And sometimes Rio , Helsinki uncle will visit them .

That’s actually such a cool idea! I love Sergio and Raquel, don’t get me wrong, but above all, I love consistency lol

Why not? What if Raquel tells him that after her talk with Alicia, she has realised that because of her love for him, she has neglected her daughter and ruined her future. Because lets face it, if Raquel is on the run, her daughter is too.

And, I know the show never really mentions this... but Sergio is like... a criminal. I know he’s meant to be the ‘good guy’ and all, but he also goes around hiring, what, the Serbian mafia? (Who are those people???) Has a lot of money, buys a shit ton of stuff on the dark web... If the police can’t track him, the mafia’s running that shit-show can. His wealth isn’t built on an empire of people to protect him.... what is one kid with a billions of euros with no protection, living as an outcast to a criminal organisation looking for easy money? Doesn’t that just sound like a target??? It’s easier to take one person down, than a well built up ‘empire’ of people lmao - okay, if he hid away etc. but not go around making purchases like them army trucks... because as soon as he starts his heist, the people who he purchases those things from are gonna tie the two ends together... If Alicia can track him, what is finding him to an organisation with more hackers than he has???

Back to the point, Raquel isn’t the ‘weakest link’, both her and her daughter are ‘weak points’. If Sergio ever pisses off any of the probs very dangerous people he is working with... the main targets are gonna be the people closest to him. Back in the day when he was a petty and poor criminal, well, didn’t really matter. Now, however, things have changed.

Raquel has given her life up to be on the run not only from the police, but like, a large proportion of the criminal world. She is never going to be safe, nor is her daughter. By association she has condemned her family to, well, to some probably not fun situations in the future.

But like.... ignoring all of that.

I totally get you; love is love, I do ship them, but who said their love story had to be conventional; say she came to visit him at the end of s2, told him that she would meet up with him here and there, she would come to live with him, but in 10 years time or so, when her daughter is grown up enough to take care of herself and her decisions won’t impact her. That money might’ve bought Sergio freedom, but the moment Raquel leaves her life for it, its gonna cause her problems, ones which money won’t be able to fix. She’ll never be able to let her daughter go to school without fearing that she might say something, be recognised. She’ll never be able to have the freedom Raquel had when she was young. Her childhood might be carefree playing on the beach, but purely through association she’ll always be on the run from the police, interpol, the other criminals out there who feel like getting a few billions for, basically free, having to take down a person, not an empire. I get financial security, like totally. But its not exactly too great if the price you’re paying for it is your personal security.

And look how much more fun s3&4 would’ve been if Raquel was still part of the police... darn that would’ve been so amazing her in terms of character development, as she’d really have to decide whose side she was on. (obvs with a different plot) - acting as a double agent type thing, to alongside Sergio, make sure no one was hurt etc.

... she is safer not being with Sergio. If Sergio truly loved her, he wouldn’t be with her. I know, I know, that’s so controversial of me to say, but I’ve seen it been done in masterpiece style on screen. I had never seen a better ship been written even though I didn’t get a single kiss! Both of the characters acknowledged they loved each other but were in an environment in which them being together would end in defo at least one of their deaths. Their love for each other was greater than any sort of sexual desire; keeping one another safe was a priority, even if it required sacrificing (very unfortunately for the audience) the desire part. It can be done.

Love can be either selfish or selfless; I think, from the way things have been written, Sergio is more Andres’ brother than one could’ve imagined. He loves her, but not enough to resist his temptation, to ruin her, destroy her life, risk her life and her families. It sounds hella dark, but when you think about it, it sorta is. Because it is wrapped up neatly and nicely and Sergio is all cute... because she loves him and goes after him, blindly. Because however much Alicia’s dialogue about Raquel’s taste of men was written to obvs make the audience disagree with her about Sergio’s case..... darn nobody is perfect, but come on. Denver lost his father in the last heist, Sergio’s brother was shot (ik he was dying, doesn’t that make it worse for Sergio tho? The last months with his brother in paradise, lost?) but there’s one hella completely different reaction. And then we have the scene in which Raquel tells him he is just trying to avenge Berlin; does vengeance have a higher value than love? Is the whole Berlin thing not enough for him to be like, “actually, putting people that I love at life threatening risk, really isn’t a great idea”...??? Rio will eventually be arrested, and tough luck, ya know. Why put the rest of his team’s life at risk? idkkkkk His true love for Raquel will be shown in lcdp7 when he plans a heist to avenge her? WHy for the love of god is she in the bank?

Damn right, Raquel should pack her bags up and finally find a man who is not so willing to harm her. No one said love or the character had to be perfect; I’m a true believer that love requires sacrifices, and Raquel has sacrificed a lot for him... you’d think he’d have the decency to at least not go ahead with the heist ya know. Sergio might be a bit socially awkward, but he’s not fucking dumb. I hate how people seem to think that because he hasn’t had much experience in relationships, he won’t know what he is doing... firstly, when does anyone have any sort of idea of what they’re doing in a new relationship with a new person? It’s all new, and it’s always a learning process ya know. Secondly, Sergio has enough brain cells to lecture Andres about getting married to someone knowing he has very little time... he knows enough to acknowledge that what his brother is doing, isn’t exactly too fair on his wife - which is fair enough; ya know, ‘best three years of her life’ and then she drinks herself to death from the heartache in the year following that? Very hard situation, tbh. Andres is being fucking selfish, but darn, turns out there is something in these genetics...

disclaimer: I still love Serquel, but damn I love my analysis, (I am being very picky today lmao) and if they keep this writing up, they’re gonna keep pushing me to make such unconventional findings. Never before today did I think I’d come to a conclusion that Andres and Sergio are similar in terms of ‘love’... but darn, under the cute dialogues and all the rather radical decisions of the screenwriters point towards very dark threads.

Saying that, if you’re gonna write something like that, have the balls to actually explore it. Don’t make Raquel the ‘love interest’; consequently follow the choices through and make Sergio the nut job who put her back into the bank. Maybe even write it as him idealising the idea of his love for her... maybe the trap in their relationship is as Alicia said, Raquel idealising these guys, but Sergio also idealising her.

#darn this took too long to write #someone take away my wineee lmao #someone tell me they get what im trying to say #the tea #asks #sorry anon if i dissapoint

can you do a rundown/review of every song on folklore like you've done for selena? and what your current top 5 are??

considering this is officially one of my top 3 favourite albums ever i’m v happy to 😌! warning, absolutely every single song will be ranked 10/10

thank for wanting to know my thoughts :( i can’t believe anybody would volunteer to read this JDNSKSDJKDS

first of all, my top 5 is probbbbably gonna change (maybe not tho bc my lover top 5 hasn’t really changed a lot), but for now, i think it’s: august > seven > mad woman > illicit affairs > mirrorball

THE 1:

ngl my very first thought was that it reminded me of same love by macklemore skdjdskjdskjsd but not in a bad way!

literally some of the prettiest lyrics, i knew just from this song that this would top red as her best lyrically (best album in general)

honestly just rly sad and sweet and one of those songs that has such a universal sound i feel?

also the simplest song of the album lyrically (also not in a bad way, just like objectively this is the easiest subject matter on the album with the least opaque lyrics), so a really good opener

best lyrics: “we never painted by the numbers baby but we were making it count/you know the greatest loves of all time are over now” and “we were something don’t you think so/roaring twenties tossing pennies in the pool/and it my wishes came true it would’ve been you”

a cute girl, 10/10

CARDIGAN:

i was surprised by the darkish sound of this one

idk what that like clanking sound in the background is but i find it a lil distracting in the first half of the song - but if i ever find out what it is and it has some symbolic meaning/purpose for being there (i assume it does) i’ll accept it sdjknsd

i love the nostalgia that is so present in like almost every song on this album :(

also the music video is stunning and frames the entire album in the most interesting way, metaphor-wise

best lyrics: “i knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss/knew you’d haunt all of my what-ifs/the smell of smoke would hang around this long/cause i knew everything when i was young/i knew i’d curse you for the longest time/chasin’ shadows in the grocery line/i knew you’d miss me when the thrill expired/and you’d be standing in my front porch light/and i knew you’d come back to me”

10/10

THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN DYNASTY:

love this one bc it’s like a nice lil exhale in an album filled with angst, like it’s cute and boppy without being aggressive

i’m suddenly absolutely obsessed with rebekah harkness, particularly the “bitch pack” thing and her dyeing someone’s dog green

i love taylor’s storytelling and i love how that’s always been a big part of her approach to songwriting. this is taylor at her best narration, like starlight but so much better. this is a type of songwriting that is so underused these days, esp by mainstream artists and i love so much that she has always used it and been so invested in it

the pronoun change made me screech. sooo goooood

taylor’s obv a deeply autobiographical artist which is why it’s so incredible to hear her tell OTHER people’s stories and somehow make them so her own. like i think it’s mostly the english major in me that just gets so emotional over that...... the way that other people’s stories became our own through the way we tell them......

this song is def the one that is most explicit about the album’s theme of telling stories but ones that tell something about her (and about her listeners too), by switching to personal pronouns at the end. it sets up a pattern for the rest of the album, where each song is about one thing (the actual story she’s telling) but also about a bunch of other things.

a good example of why she’s the greatest songwriter of this generation

best lyrics: “there goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen/she had a marvelous time ruining everything”

10/10

EXILE:

bon iver’s voice was a full shock to the system the first time i listened and idk why sdkjnds it is just so deep and i was not at all expecting it esp after the cuteness of tlgad

anyway these lyrics are GORGEOUS

i love a duet where the 2 singers’ lyrics are meant to be directed at each other. is there a word for that type of duet idk but it always makes a duet infinitely better

the miscommunication exemplified in the bridge...... chef’s kiss heartbreaking

out of all the songs this is the one that makes me feel the most like i am in the middle of a forest in winter. i can already picture myself listening to this song in december with the sound of a crackling fire in the background mmmmmmmm my exact vibe

best lyrics: “you’re not my homeland anymore/so who am i defending now?/you were my town, now i’m in exile seeing you out” and “i’m not your problem anymore/so who am i offending now?”

10/10

MY TEARS RICOCHET:

this chorus BRRROOOOKE ME

writing songs presumably about the masters situation and framing them as breakup songs was absolutely galaxy brain

i feel like the image of tears ricocheting has like a million layers to it and is just suuuuch a smart metaphor

also just such a visually rich song ? so is every song on the album but the metaphors of this song are all just so visual

best lyrics: “i didn’t have it in myself to go with grace/and you’re the hero flying around saving face/and if i’m dead to you why are you at the wake?” and “i can go anywhere i want/anywhere i want, just not home”

10/10

MIRRORBALL:

ok so i did like this one on first listen, i loved absolutely everything on first listen, but it didn’t hit my top 5 until like 8 listens later, so it’s def a big grower and i think could be a huge fan fav by next year

the self-awareness in her writing will never fail to amaze me

the way that life is just performing...... yeah

but it’s crazy to me that a person could be like “i’m a compulsive people pleaser and performer and i’ll do anything to get ppl to like me” and that leads to “i am a disco ball” like ???? her brain is so big. it’s such a gorgeous metaphor.... and the circus imagery AHHHHH

best lyrics: “i’m still on that tightrope/i’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me/i’m still a believer but i don’t know why/i’ve never been a natural, all i do is try try try/i’m still on that trapeze/i’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me” and “i can change everything about me to fit in”

10000/10

SEVEN:

this one simply rips my heart out

at first i was like oh this is so weird and then the chorus just would not leave my head

for me personally, nostalgia is literally 90% of my personality and just for so many personal reasons the thought of childhood ending and all of the growing pains that come along with that have been at the forefront of my psyche for the past year. so it just kills me whenever i find a song like this one and it kills me that taylor specifically has several songs about this topic and this is 100000% the best of them all. like it’s the most beautiful experience to have your thoughts and feelings and fears expressed so perfectly by a total stranger, and that’s rly what art is about and i love taylor for doing that for me and millions of other people

i just feel like this song brings up so many vivid beautiful memories of childhood for so many people, like being outside in the summer and screaming and being free. ugh

the pause after “i hit my peak at seven” before completing the phrase........ OOOOOOOOOF IT HITS TOO HARD

and sound-wise, just so off-beat and cool and unique

best lyrics: “i hit my peek at seven/feet in the swing across the creek” and “are there still beautiful things?” and “love you to the moon and to saturn/passed down like folk songs/the love lasts so long” and “before i learned civility/i used to scream ferociously/any time i wanted”

100000000000/10

AUGUST:

i knew immediately that this would be my favourite tbh like i could sense it the second it began

i wrote my first impression thoughts in my journal and you can tell the exact moment i got to the bridge bc i just started screaming sdnjksdkjsdn

i would 100% get a tattoo that said “to live for the hope of it all”

everything about this song is LITERALLY flawless like i have.......no notes......no thoughts.......it’s just an absolutely perfect song

best lyrics: “back when we were still changing for the better/wanting for was enough/for me it was enough/to live for the hope of it all" and “august sipped away like a bottle of wine/cause you were never mine”

100000000000000000000000000/10

THIS IS ME TRYING:

this song is rly good but i keep forgetting it exists omg :/ once i learn all of the lyrics i’ll appreciate her more

the strings are gorgeous

i was rly surprised that this one was done with jack instead of aaron just bc the bridge of this sounds SOOOO the national

these lyrics could be interpreted in so many different ways depending on the listener’s experiences and that’s beautiful

best lyrics: “i was so ahead of the curve/the curve became a sphere/fell behind all my classmates and i ended up here” and “it’s hard to be at a party when i feel like an open wound/it’s hard to be anywhere these days when all i want is you/you’re a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town”

10/10

ILLICIT AFFAIRS:

that soft high note on “down,” “stop,” etc is sooooo nice

i don’t have many thoughts on it, it’s just so soft, SOOOOOO gorgeous instrumentally and lyrically

best lyrics: “it’s born from just one single glance/but it dies and it dies and it dies/a million little times” and “don’t call me kid, don’t call me baby/look at this godforsaken mess that you made me/you showed me colours you know i can’t see with anyone else” and “you taught me a secret language i can’t speak with anyone else/and you know damn well/for you i would ruin myself/a million little times”

100000/10

INVISIBLE STRING:

like i said about tlgad, this is a nice little break from all the angst and pain and anger sdnjksdnskjsd just a sweet little break to remind u there are good things in the world too. so placed really well in the tracklist imo

super super super super cute chorus

so many pretty melodies

absolutely an autumn song btw

best lyrics: “time, mystical time/cutting me open, then healing me fine”

10/10

MAD WOMAN:

i literally lost my mind listening to this for the first time

i have such a thing for scorned women anthems like i will immediately love it whatever it is

the pure rage when she says “cause you took everything from me” gives me full body chills

it is just so eerie and haunting and perfect

best lyrics: “women like hunting witches too/doing your dirtiest work for you/it’s obvious that wanting me dead/has really brought you two together” and “every time you call me crazy i get more crazy/what about that?” and “good wives always know/she should be mad, should be scathing like me/but no one like a man woman”

1000000/10

EPIPHANY:

i find this one so hard to listen to but it’s absolutely beautiful and devastating and so heavily relevant for i think the whole world rn

the heart monitor and the trumpets tying both of the topics in together is so genius and so heartbreaking

i think will be the sygb of folklore where it makes everybody cry so much that it becomes a skip despite being a beautiful song

best lyrics: “something med school did not cover/someone’s daughter, someone’s mother” and “some things you just can’t speak about”

10/10

BETTY:

first of all THE HARMONICA

this made me so happy bc it’s just so debut and so fearless and it made me SOOOOO nostalgic on my first listen, because it really felt to me like i was getting to listen to a song from debut or fearless for the very first time again

it’s just so sweet and cute and simple and yet another very self-aware moment of looking back to her past material/subject matter

best lyrics: “would you have me? would you want me?/would you tell me to go fuck myself/or lead me to the garden?” and “i’m only seventeen, i don’t know anything/but i know i miss you”

10/10

PEACE:

the bass at the beginning is soooooo nice

this miiiiiight be the strongest song on the album lyrics-wise but idk yet

not much to say, it’s just so gorgeous

best lyrics: “i’m a fire and i’ll keep your brittle heart warm/if your cascade ocean wave blues come/all these people think love’s for show/but i would die for you in secret” and “would it be enough if i could never give you peace?” and “i talk shit with my friends, it’s like i’m wasting your honour”

10/10

HOAX:

i have a feeling this one will be underrated/underappreciated bc it’s just simple and dark and the last song, but this is....... a lyrical masterpiece

i feel like i need to be playing this on vinyl with all of the lights off and just a candle burning yknow, like there’s just something so dark and ancient about it

best lyrics: “my winless fight/this has frozen my ground” and “your faithless love’s the only hoax i believe in/don’t want no other shade of blue but you/no other sadness in the world would do” and “you knew it still hurt underneath my scars/from when they pulled me apart/but what you did was just as dark/darling this was just as hard”

10/10

OVERALL: 10000000000/10 literally one of the best albums i have ever heard and (while i wouldn’t put it past her to top it) absolutely the best work of her career. so complex and layered and emotional and painful and genuine and different. not to get ahead of myself but this is/should be considered her blue, her rumours, her abbey road....... god. can’t wait to listen to this album for the rest of my life and play it for my future children and just watch it live on as the greatest work of one of the most important artists of the 21st century

tonight | Poe Dameron x Reader | Part Five

A/N: Here’s the next part!! These two consummate their love lol. Please feel free to skip if you don’t like smut. I won’t be offended <3

Rating: M

Warning: Virginity loss. Naughty words.

Word count: 3,155, apparently!!

Summary: You, a First Order officer, and Poe Dameron, the best pilot in the Resistance, are drawn to each other from the moment you meet. Very loosely based on West Side Story, which is obvs based on Romeo and Juliet.

Masterlist

GIF credit: No idea, but it’s not mine.

Tags: @yana-versio @bobateaandchocolatepudding @yeeterbenjaminparker @aroseamongthestars @unicorntrooper @helaintoloki @marvelous-revengers @moonflowersandsparkles @myrabbitholetoneverland @ayysexual-armitage @kaliforniacoastalteens

You were the perfect soldier so they wouldn't figure out you were defecting.

You had always been a good soldier, but Hux was right when he said you were soft. You were kinder than most of your colleagues, you knew that now.

No, you needed to be perfect. You couldn't let them think you had any doubts about the First Order's agenda. You hid every emotion. You did your best not to flinch or tear up when a stormtrooper killed someone who didn't cooperate.

You just hoped being so different wouldn't raise their suspicions either.

You'd never been so nervous than the day you were going to leave came, and was it just you or was Hux watching you more? Did he know? Oh, stars, did he know? Was he biding his time until you let down your guard and he could take you away to be executed?

Maybe you were supposed to stay. Maybe running off with some Resistance flyboy was a horrible idea and you were getting yourself into something you wouldn't be able to get out of.

But he was so wonderful. So kind and lovely, and something bigger than your fear told you that you would regret it if you didn't go with him.

So you bid General Hux goodnight with the calmest voice you could muster, walked toward your quarters, turned to head into the hangar, and stole a small transport ship.

It wasn't the most technologically advanced ship you had, but it got you to the planet that you and Poe had agreed on, and that was what mattered the most.

You didn't see him or a Resistance ship anywhere at first, and you got worried.

You were so on edge from learning about the First Order's true nature and the risk of running away from them that your anxious mind went to the worst case scenarios.

What if they intercepted Poe and imprisoned him? What if they killed him instead? What if everything was a lie and Poe was just getting information from you? What if you were an even a bigger idiot than you thought, and now you would have to go back to what you knew and beg them to have mercy on you?

Then Poe appeared, smiling at you like you were important, and you knew that everything was okay and that there was no way you were going back to the sheltered cruelty of the First Order.

"Hey, kid." He gave you enough time to pull away if you wanted to before he gave you a soft kiss. "Look, I know I said I'd get you out of here—"

It was all a joke. He hated your kind. You were naive. He was going to bring you back to the Resistance to be tortured for information before he killed you himself so it would break your heart more.

"—but I think it's best if we lay low for tonight and leave in the morning, if that's okay. I don't know if they'll be searching the skies for you."

Your smile was mostly from relief. "That's fine. I'll sleep in my ship for tonight."

"No, no, I got us a hotel room." He put his arm around your neck and shoulders in a friendly way that you'd never been held before, turning you and leading you to a large building. "I wouldn't make you wait another night if I wasn't gonna make it comfy for you."

You might have been bouncing slightly as you sat on the bed in your hotel room.

You'd never been to a hotel before. The sheets were soft and the mattress was comfy, and the room was decorated in more colors than the muted tone of the First Order base.

You loved it. It felt...right.

Poe knelt on the floor, making himself a place to sleep out of an extra blanket and a pillow from the bed. He smiled every so often at the way you kicked your feet as they hung off the edge of the mattress.

"Are you sure you'll be comfortable?"

"Yeah. I've slept in way worse conditions."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Would you believe I once slept on a bed of spikes?"

"No."

"Good, because I didn't. I've slept on the cold, hard ground, though, and a carpeted floor beats that any day."

You smiled, watching him fluff up the pillow. "Will you kiss me goodnight?"

He turned and moved on his knees towards you, stopping between your legs and giving you a sweet kiss. "Never thought I'd be so willing to kiss a First Order officer, but I can't say I'm unhappy about it."

"Never thought I'd even have a civil conversation with a Resistance pilot, but I think you might be the best thing to ever happen to me." You cupped his jaw in both hands, running your thumbs over his cheeks. "We're safe?"

"I'm gonna do my damnedest to make sure you're always safe. You deserve it."

"Then don't sleep on the floor." You bit your lip, because you were nervous and because you didn't have a desire for this before. It was another thing that you had been told was a waste of time, but Poe was sweet and there were strange signals in your brain telling you to do this with him. "Show me...show me what it's like to make love."

"What?" He stared at you. "Do you know what you're asking for?"

"Yes. I'm not that much of an idiot."

"You're not an idiot at all." He took your hands from his face, holding them in his own. "Why are you asking for this, sweetheart?"

"I'm supposed to do this with you."

He looked horrified by your statement. "I don't know what the fuck the First Order taught you, but you don't have to—"

"No! No, I don't feel forced. It's just that something...within me is telling me that I'm meant to do this with you." You leaned forward, pressing your forehead to his and closing your eyes, your voice softening. "They've taken so much from me, Poe, and you've shown me so much in this little time we've had together. I want to learn everything with you."

He furrowed his brow, leaning heavily into you. "We don't have to do it right now. We can wait years if you want to."

"I thought you weren't a patient man?"

"When it comes to waiting for certain dates or waiting to set you free, yes. But I don't expect anything from you."

"I want to do it tonight."

"—okay. Okay. If that'll make you feel happy, if that'll help you take your life back, then it's more than alright with me." He kissed you again, hands tentatively stroking your thighs in case you stopped him. When you didn't, he took to moving his kisses down your neck, which you seemed to thoroughly enjoy.

You did enjoy the new sensation; the way his lips tickled your neck and you could feel him smile against your skin when you let out a gasp.

One of Poe's hands moved higher, his thumb stroking between your legs through your pants and making you jump. You hardly even touched yourself as you never really saw the need to; it seemed you were sensitive to even the lightest touch because of it.

Both hands came to push up your shirt a bit as his head dipped down to kiss your stomach, making you giggle and lean back to avoid the tickling of his lips. You ended up falling back against the bed and he followed, moving over you and meeting your eyes with a sweet smirk.

"I'm gonna help you take your clothes off." He pulled back so you could sit up, working with you to remove your shirt before he tugged your pants off.

He looked at you like your First Order-issue underwear was the most gorgeous thing he'd ever seen.

You tried to turn away in embarrassment of being seen in a way that no one in the First Order had ever seen you, but his hands came to still you.

"Hey, don't hide yourself from me. You're beautiful." He pressed kisses where your breasts peeked out of your bra.

"No one has ever..."

"I know." He reached up to stroke your cheek, letting his fingers slide down your neck, shoulder, and arm, until he moved to grasp your hip. "We can stop."

"I don't want to." You took a deep breath of courage before taking off your bra.

You were blushing the moment it fell, and Poe's hungry gaze raking over your chest only caused that blush to deepen. You gave a little cry of surprise as he picked you up, and you felt some sweet romance unravel within you as he turned to lay you down correctly on the bed, laying back against the pillows.

He left you there to take off his own clothes. He revealed a fairly aesthetically pleasing torso with the removal of his shirt, then strong legs as he took off his pants, and you could see something through his own generic-looking underwear. You didn't know much, but you figured you could guess what it was.

"You're staring, sweetheart," came Poe's teasing tone. He pushed his underwear down and your gaze immediately went to his face, which he noticed with a quirked brow. "You okay?"

"Yes. I just...I've never seen...one." You blushed again with how stupid you felt for admitting such a thing. It was clear that those outside the First Order knew all about these matters.

But Poe smiled so kindly that you forgot all about it, moving onto the bed next to you. "Go ahead and look. You can touch it if you want."

It took you a long moment to brave looking between his legs, where you saw that he looked simpler than you expected, but pleasing enough that you felt an enjoyable pulse between your own legs.

You reached out to touch him, only to quickly pull your hand back at the last second.

He grabbed your hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to touch me, but I promise that you have nothing to be afraid of."

"I don't mean to be so scared. I just don't know anything...and I feel so stupid..."

He kissed you.

You reached up to pull him closer.

He easily moved on top of you, leaving your lips to kiss down to your breasts. When he took one of your nipples into his mouth, you nearly flew off the bed from the new feeling.

Your eyes were lustful and his were mischievous as they met. He kept your gazes locked, kissing along your chest until his lips met your left breast and he sucked on your nipple; you gave a moan so loud you slapped a hand over your mouth to quiet yourself.

"I think," He lifted his head and took hold of your wrist, gently guiding your arm down to your side. "you've been repressed enough. Let go."

"—thank you." You touched his hair, running your fingers through it to distract yourself from the tears of gratitude that wanted to fall.

He took your underwear off and ran his fingers over your folds, before gently rubbing right where you felt that pulse. Your hips left the bed of their own accord, surprising you with your eagerness to meet his hand.

It took effort to speak around your moans. "What...what are you doing?"

"You need to be wet, or it's gonna hurt like hell." It seemed like such a technical thing, yet he was smirking proudly at the distracted nod you gave. You hardly paid attention to his words, because nothing had ever felt so good in your entire life. "That's right, baby. Just let yourself feel good."

"I want to feel like this all the time."

"I can do that." He pressed his forehead to yours, enjoying your gasps as he continued to steadily rub your clit. "I wanna give you everything, baby. I want to show you everything they never let you see."

"Please..." You weren't sure if you were begging for more touching or to be shown the universe. Perhaps it was both.

Poe pulled his hand away and you gave a whine so pitiful that he chuckled, pressing a kiss to your nose. "We'll get back to that, don't worry." He massaged your thighs as he pushed them apart, fitting so perfectly between your legs that you desired to keep him there forever. "You ready?"

You were so busy enjoying his attentions that you forgot all about being nervous, but you were suddenly remembering. Nevertheless, you gave a tentative nod.

As he pushed the tip of his cock inside of you, you were wondering if maybe having him between your legs forever wasn't the best idea.

It didn't hurt, per se. The way he was stretching you open was uncomfortable, however, and the flood of emotions that came with his closeness took you by surprise.

"Y/N? Sweetheart, you're crying..." His hand came up to brush the tears you hadn't noticed from your cheeks. "We don't have to do this."

"No!" You grabbed onto Poe's shoulders, yanking him back down when he tried to pull away from you. "I'm okay, I want this, I just...I didn't realize that being so close to someone would be so..."

"Important?"

"Yeah." You sobbed softly, reaching up to stroke his face. "I didn't know how lonely I was until you showed me what it was like to be cared about. I mean, really cared about."

He kissed your tears away before gently pressing his lips to yours, distracting you just slightly as he pushed further inside of you. "Breathe, sweetheart. I'm gonna start moving in a second, okay?"

"Yes, okay." You breathed slowly to calm yourself, moving your hands back to his shoulders. The feel of his surprisingly soft skin helped you relax. "Do you moisturize?"

"What?" He gave a laugh that was slightly strained with his pleasure.

"Your skin is so soft for a pilot and a soldier."

"My shoulders don't exactly take the brunt of my work, baby." He peppered kisses over your breasts, running his tongue between them. "You're soft all over. The complete opposite of the First Order."

The feeling of being full of Poe had been a bit shocking at first, but you were slowly starting to get used to it. Now your brain and body were nudging you to continue consummating your relationship, somehow sure that there would be both emotional and physical pleasure ahead.

Stars, you were sure you were falling in love with him. You wished you knew.

"I'm ready for you to move, Poe," your voice came out gentler than you intended and, oh, he looked at you so sweetly that you knew for certain now that you had done the right thing. You were safe here, in the right place, with a man who would show you the universe and make sure no harm came to you.

"I'll stop if you need me to, okay?" He slowly pulled out, then pushed in just as slowly, gauging your reaction.

You did your best to smile reassuringly despite the hint of discomfort that hung on.

His hand moved between your legs, as promised, to stroke the previously unknown place that made you feel like the room was spinning. How many unknown places would he show you? Not just on your body, but in the galaxy? You anticipated things you didn't even know existed.

The more he touched you, the easier he moved within you and the better his movements actually felt. It was nothing compared to how his touches made you feel, but it was definitely more pleasurable than when he'd first entered you.

You kept your moans soft even though he gave you permission to be free, too worried about being too loud during your first time doing this.

A loud moan came from you eventually, however, and he gave a low moan in return. His eyes were closed tightly, you noticed, listening to his grunts of enjoyment and effort until a particularly shiver-inducing flash of pleasure seemed to distract you from everything else.

Some feeling you'd never experienced was building up between your legs, growing stronger and more frequent. As soon as it got so deliciously strong that you were whimpering Poe's name in adoration, it culminated in what you could only describe as an explosion; a physical release of every emotion you'd ever felt until all that was left inside you was pure pleasure. You felt yourself squeezing impossibly tighter around Poe's cock, which made him happy, if the noises he made and the words he said were any indication.

The way you clenched around him again and again slowly weakened and so did your hazy mind, just in time to witness Poe pull away from you, releasing on you instead of in you.

"Poe," you sputtered in surprise and confusion.

"You want a baby on your first day out?"

Eyes wide, you quickly shook your head.

You watched in confusion as he got up and walked into the adjacent refresher. He returned in just a few seconds with a cloth, gently cleaning his seed off of you, before tossing the cloth aside and dropping onto the bed beside you.

You longed to pull him closer, not just because joining with him was pleasurable, but because being so close with him was almost magical. It made you feel safe, and loved, and important, and beautiful.

All things you had never truly felt before.

"I want to do it again." You grabbed onto his arms, tried to pull him back on top of you, but he stayed put with a laugh.

"I appreciate the eagerness, but you gotta give me a second. Men can't...get it up as quick as women can."

You nodded slowly, settling for pressing the length of your body to his.

He pressed back against you, brushing hair away from your face and gazing at you with the kindest eyes you'd ever seen. "That was good for you?"

"More than."

"Good." He stroked your chin. "I love that happy look on your face. I'll show you every inch of the galaxy if it keeps that look on your face."

"Poe." There you were, trying not to cry again. "I can't tell you how much this means to me."

"You don't have to. You're amazing, and you deserve more than what they gave you."

As you cuddled up closer to him, you wondered if you should tell him that you might be falling in love with him.

You decided it against it for the time being.

Maybe when you joined the Resistance, you could talk to someone and find out what it felt like.

And if what you felt for Poe wasn't love just yet, you couldn't imagine how wonderful it would be when it was.

Throne of glass spoilers ahead, you have been warned kiddos

Firstly , god damn that was a rollercoaster of hardcore battle , like seriously

The forging of the lock... idk the scene of aelin kinda flying across worlds gave me shivers, and even though I haven’t read acortar or whatever , it’s kinda made me want to read them now, it was so beautifully written

Tell ya who the queen of slow burn is, SJM like god damn that woman, yeh we god elide and Lorcan(obvs) but freakin Lysandra and aedion , I’m kinda still starved for content like, ik aedion was pissed but still a lot of the dialogue between the two of them was Lysandra feeling like shit

LYSANDRA WAS UNDER APPRECIATED JEEZ

aelin- 10/10 character development, Sarah kinda broke her down and built her back up again, from a cocky arrogant queen (who I adored) to a kind, almost wise still cocky queen

Was it just me who thought rowan and the cadre and elide finding her was kinda... anticlimactic... yeh rowan skinned that douchebag alive but still. I felt sjm could have done it more justice

Dorian and manon my little cuties honest to god, their scenes were awesome, manon found her humanity

Crochans were awesome, but like obviously they were important but we didn’t really find out much about them if that makes sense ?

IM ALSO GONNA GET A LAWYER, SARAH OMG WHY TF DID YOU KILL MY BEAUTIFUL THIRTEEN, YEH IT MADE MANON GO APESHIT N FIGHT HARDER. AND YEH THE STAIN ON THE BLOODIED GROUND, AND THEN ALL THE DIFFERENT KINGDOMS PUT FLOWERS WAS AWFULLY BEAUTIFUL. BUT STILL YIELDING? WASNT THAT THE COWARDLY WAY OUT? ASTERIN NEVER MET FENRYS REALLY? I WANTED HER AND BORTE TO BE BEST FRIENDS OMG. HONESTLY WAS SOBBING AT 3am ONLY BIG DEATH THAT MADE ME CRY OTHER THAN NEHMIA, ALSO ASTERIN GOT TO KICK THE BITCHES ASS N TAKE HER DOWN, she’s going to be with her hunter and witching remember that guys :(((((

NOOOOOOOO GAVRIEL AND AEDION NEVER GOT TO TALK CUS AEDION WAS A STUBBORN ASS 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😤😤😤😤

ngl thought nox was gonna have a bigger role, like we all knew he was gonna be in there somehow but still... did he even meet aelin ? Did I miss something

Also thought that it was gonna be Dorian that would have forged the lock ? Anyone else , like ik it wasn’t supposed to be glorious and yeh aelin kinda hAd the right to do it but she just pushed him aside tbf , also neat little thing sjm put in about Dorian wondering about his humanity, and about his father who turned out to be cleverer than we thought.

Maeve was an absolute bitch, her death was kinda anticlimactic, but my main boi fenrys got to have one of the killing blows which was pretty cool

Sartaq and neseryn was awesome as per usual, but I kinda wanted there to be more interaction between them and the other characters , but then again they were just their so we could get birds eye view of battle and also the dam which was freakin awesome like that was really cool , there was an impending threat that wasn’t maeve or erwan

Rowan didn’t really give aelin more time which kinda pissed me off like yeh , he was wary In a worrying way for the couple of chapters in the boat and caves but still.

It was fenrys that honestly just took my mind away, the communication whilst my main girly was getting tortured by the dickhead. That was really cool the way that was written, 11/10 maas for keeping that going throughout the book dammmn

Ik it was a battle but WHERE TF WAS FLEETFOOT , yeh she was mentioned which means she was safe and yeh she was sleepy on the floor , but I wanted her to take a bite outta someone for nehmia

Abraxos didn’t die hahahaha hahahaha my theory of big spikey doggo was correct 😏

HE HAD A MATE OMG SERIOUSLY MAN , he’d gone through so much effectively torture, then he was happy and then his mate and all his friends just got killed

Erwans death was awesome like good on yrene who is a freakin goddess in my books definitely a favourite character for evermore. She was pregnant and she managed to save everyone

Aelin still kinda has her power to remind herself and everyone what she had to do to save their world

Ngl I felt kinda sorry for maeve when she wasn’t plotting and scheming , yeh she’s the evil lady that tortured aelin for months, mentally and physically, but she genuinely just wanted to escape from her husband and brothers

Sorry but who TF were those random wolf fae/ humans like heya they saved their asses but I’ve never heard of the wolf tribe before unless I’m being stupid lol

So ummmm Dorian and shapeshift? What can’t that kid do 🤨 but his and chaols reunion was the best like I almost cried , they found each other again, the boys are backkkk

Chaol and yrene didn’t have that many chapters tbf, and when we saw them it was kinda a couple of pages and that’s it each couple of chapters, like I would have liked to have seen more interaction with other characters

Chaols dad didn’t turn out to be as much of a massive dickkk whooooooooop but still I wanted to meet terrin and his mum. Like how cool would that have been if terrin used his diplomatic skills to make the wild men fight for them, like we could’ve had some more character development from chaol who would have faced the bad aspects of his past with the good ones

Sjm could definitely do another series idk she’s kinda set it up like she could write tonnes more on it , but I’m mmm guessing theirs gonna be some more storytelling aspects to the guide book next year than we thought

THE ENDING OMG THE ORIGINAL TRIO WAS BACK AND THEY ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED EACH OTHER IN THE BEST WAY LIKE CHAOL WAS CRYING DORIAN WAS SOBBING AELIN WAS JUST KINDA GLAD THAT NONE OF THEM HAD DIED. However wtf was chaol going about them seeing each other again.? I’m expecting yrene and chaol and Dorian to be all up in Terresan for yulemas etc, aelin and Dorian better send each other books

Nawwwwww manon was a powerful queen who united the clans of witches like that was sickkkkk

Yano I was kinda expecting to meet Vaughan tbf (idk if that’s how you spell his name ) but I’m glad we didn’t because aelin probably would have given the blood oath to him so she could have the full cadre (other than Conall) which I’m still pissed about, like him killing him self, surely he loved fenrys enough to fight it ? Bros before hoes ? Jks it was relevant 😖 and it wish it wasn’t cus I wanted him and fenrys to be free together

AND THIS CONCLUDES PART 1 OF MY LONG AND TEDIOUS TED TALK , THERES GONNA BE MORE I CAN TELL, BUT THAT WAS ME TRYING TO CONDENSE MY BIG PHAT SAD FEELINGS OMG I SOBBED AT THE END OKAY COOL YOUR WELCOME 😎

another chat brought to you by yours truly. enjoy 🌹

&. meston fight! context: the aftermath of this.

PRESTON

Ven slams her bedroom’s door and Preston sighs, taking Mona’s phone before shutting the tv off and making his way into their room. Closing the door behind him. “Ramona!”

MONA

is jolted awake by the sound of a door slamming, looks to preston, confused “Hey, baby. What’s going on?”

PRESTON

furrows brows and throws her the phone. “Venecia went through your phone.” pauses “What’s wrong with you, Ramona? It’s been seven years.”

MONA

is suddenly fully awake, chuckles dryly “Of course she did.” sits up in the bed, pulls her knees up to her chest, is silent for a few seconds “I don’t know what to say.”

PRESTON

keeps his voice low, making sure ven couldn’t hear him. “You have absolutely nothing to say to me? - I haven’t read the messages, by the way.”

MONA

sighs, crosses her arms over her chest “Well you’re already mad at me. If I try to explain myself, you’re gonna get even madder.” picks up the phone and holds it out to him “Read if you want.”

PRESTON

takes a deep breath and takes the phone from her hand and taking a seat next to her, going through the mssgs for a solid 10mins before tossing her the phone again. “You’re in love with him, he’s not in love with you, what’s new? This is how it’s been since the day we met.”

MONA

is on edge the entire time he reads, fidgeting and tapping her fingers, jumps when he tosses the phone, surprised “I guess nothing’s new.”

PRESTON

“Are you ever going to wake up from your little fantasy?” furrows brows at her. “How many times does Fabian gotta reject you for you to understand that man wants nothing to do with you? How many instagram posts he needa make with his wife for you to understand he’s moved on?”

MONA

clenches jaw, is hurt but knows she has no right to be, is quiet for a while “She’s not his wife... And I’ve moved on also.” glances at him for a second before looking away again “Obviously.”

PRESTON

“Maybe she don’t got a ring on his finger but that’s not a girlfriend, that’s a wife. They share a house, a life, that’s not a girlfriend. - Just like you ain’t my girlfriend but still feel the need to act like a kid and go behind my back and tell your ex you love him even though he’s been over you for over seven years.”

MONA

sits silently, stares ahead “You can tell me that I’m in the wrong here without attacking me, you know? Like you don’t have to rub in that he doesn’t feel the same way. I get that.” sighs, turns to face him entirely, places her hand on his “I just.. I don’t know. I needed closure, okay?”

PRESTON

“It is what it is, Ramona.” shrugs, pushing her hands away. “I’m tired of this, it’s been way too long and you still pulling the same exact shit you used to pull and I’m not gonna deal with it this time. I’m way too old for this shit.” stands, shaking his head and exhaling deeply.

MONA

“Are you serious right now, Preston?” quickly stands, blocks his way in case he tries to leave “I put up with you doing literally whatever you want and I can’t send some text messages without you declaring that this is it?” pauses for a second “No. We’re gonna talk about this. We’re gonna talk about all of it. Including you and all the other women.”

PRESTON

“Whatever I do don’t involve getting in my feelings with any other hoe’.” shakes head, walks past her. “It don’t involve me telling them I wish I would’ve left you to go with them.”

MONA

scoffs “Another hoe? Does that make me the first hoe?” rolls eyes, crosses arms over her chest, basically whispers when she remembers that ven is probably listening “Can we just both admit that we’ve both done bad things, but they’re not reason enough to ruin what we have?”

PRESTON

“Not what I said but you’re free to take that as you want.” walks over to his side of the closet. “I’ve done bad things and I admit to that but I can’t be with someone who’s with me when her heart’s somewhere else. Not anymore.”

MONA

“Preston, please stop.” runs over to block him again, places her hands on his shoulders, looks into his eyes “Please.”

PRESTON

turns to face her, sighing. “What can we possibly do or try that we haven’t done or tried already?”

MONA

tears up but does her best to not cry “I don’t know.” sniffles “I really don’t know, but it was really just closure, P. I promise that’s all I was trying to do.” steps even closer to him, rests a hand on his cheek “I love you too, okay? I wouldn’t still be here, 7 whole years later, if I didn’t. This can’t be it for us.”

PRESTON

exhales deeply, shaking his head and gently moving her hand away. “He gave you closure but had he replied any different and offered you a life with him, you wouldn’t be here having this conversation with me right now.”

MONA

is unable to stop a couple of tears from falling “Why don’t you believe me?” holds on tightly to his hand “I love you.”

PRESTON

sighs. “Babygirl, you only love me because he don’t love you.” furrows brows. “You don’t think it pains me knowing you love another man?”

MONA

“I promise that’s not true.” cries some more, still holds onto his hand “And I know it must pain you. It’s probably the same type of pain I feel when you come home smelling like other women, too drunk to even give me straight answers as to where you spend so much of your time.” sniffles “But I ignore all of that. Because I love you and I love us. I was just distracted, okay? Like momentarily distracted and nothing was ever supposed to come out of those messages.”

PRESTON

shakes head at the mention of other women and sighs. “I’m struggling, Ramona. Feeling like an outsider in your own home for seven full years is tough, I gotta cope somehow.” furrows brows, shaking his head again and letting go of her hands. “Just... stop, you’re doing too much.” walks back to the bed. “They only reason I’m not leaving this place tonight is Venecia; I don’t want her to know her games worked and she won.”

MONA

wants to roll her eyes bc that ain’t an excuse but resists, cries even harder when he lets go, follows him obvs “Her games!? She’s a kid Preston. I’m certain her intentions weren’t bad...” sniffles “Is that really the only reason your staying?” reaches out for his hand again

PRESTON

“She knows what she’s doing.” shakes head, pushes her hands again. “Girl, you’re doing too much, stop tryna touch me.” rolls eyes and shaking his head. “I don’t have any other reasons to stay, not at the moment.”

MONA

takes a step back from him, attempts to get herself together “If a 7 year old is the only reason why you’re staying right now, then just go.” wipes her tears away, hoping that no more fall

PRESTON

shakes head, settling into bed. “No, I’m gonna stay and whenever we’re in front of her we’re gonna pretend none of this happened.”

MONA

shakes head, suddenly angry “No. I don’t want you to stay with me just to make a point to my daughter. Go.” grabs his arm and tries to pull him out of the bed “Leave!”

PRESTON

furrows brows at her and gets even angrier when she starts pulling him, roughly jerking his arms to free himself from her grip. “What the fuck are you doing?” gives her a look. “Stop playing and sit down.”

MONA

immediately let’s go, bursts into an entirely new round of tears, dramatically falls to ground and just sits and cries

PRESTON

“For fucks sake, Ramona.” shakes head, looking down at her. “Get off the floor and stop acting like Venecia.”

MONA

totally ignores him, tries to get her crying under control but truly can’t

PRESTON

shakes head, truly annoyed st her reaction. “You do too much.”

MONA

continues to ignore him, highkey waiting for him to just leave if he’s not trying to be nice

PRESTON

takes his shirt off and shakes his head, groaning at how absurd she’s being. “Goodnight, Ramona.” settles on his side of the bed and lays on his side with his back to her.

MONA

cries harder, stays put for like 10 more minutes before eventually standing up, grabbing her phone, and moving to sit out on the couch

PRESTON

ignores her and does his best to fall asleep, eventually succeeding.

I am itching to post a comment for the recent update, but I’m also in the middle of finals and would not be happy if I didn’t give this week’s update the comment it deserves. To think it took all day to send this out alone! So instead, I’m hitting both of you up with a couple questions and headcanons requests. (Apologies in advance cause there’s quite a few of them 😅)

1. I’ve been wondering for a while now since we’ve seen them interact with other Arrowverse characters in their social media, but do the Legends still maintain contact with Snart? He’s the only one that’s literally a city away and contacting someone you’re used to seeing face to face constantly isn’t always easy.. How’s he doing over in Central City?

2. Do y’all have any headcanons for the OG Legends? How did they become the Legends? Or tell us about one of their OG misadventures (that may or may not have resulted in detention). 😉

3. Since y’all also mentioned that Ali is now running with the Soph Squad™, I was wondering if you have any headcanons about them? I just want to hear some cute stuff for them (especially cause Lil’ Sharpe is a fucking fav. Did they adopt her like how Sara merged the friend groups? Did they playfully tease Ali after learning her middle name like finding any and every way to play “Jenny from the Block” every hour on the hour (totally haven’t done that >.>).

(Imma stop there cause I don’t want to push it, but I hope that both of you have a good week ahead. Best of luck during finals, hope work isn’t to busy, and I do hope you’re feeling better from your being sick!)

do you know how much getting massive messages like this asking for this many details about our story literally makes our Entire day? like, screw entire days, our entire Weeks. it’s just so hard to comprehend that people care this much about our dumb little world that we’ve created, so firstly, literally thank u so much for taking the time to send this, and thank u for the time you’ve spent reading this fic and being this invested 💖

and RIGHT HEADCANONS AND STUFF.

1. snart. mick definitely keeps in touch with him, and he’s pretty good friends w barry so wally hears abt stuff through barry. sara tags him in memes every once in a while and texts him abt stuff, occasionally they tag each other in #tbt posts, but they don’t maintain That much contact really, but they catch up if they ever get a chance

2. i feel like you wanted something nice and fluffy for this but we ended up just going on angst spirals about freshman year sara instead lmao. in our minds, the legends group isn’t Quite the legends group until late in their freshman year. sara grew up being best friends with laurel, tommy, oliver and thea and they were pretty tight knit for most of her life. it wasn’t until middle school (or rather, sara’s eighth grade) that suddenly the older three were at a different school and both thea and sara kinda looked to expand their friend group (and it’s around this time that sara met and started dating nyssa). in freshman year, sara’s going through a bit of a hard time finding herself. she’s in this super low spot of trying to be both like laurel and not like laurel at the same time, and it hits her super hard how much her mother just Doesn’t care and her outlet ends up being acting out a lot.

she becomes pretty tight with mick and snart and they get into a lot of trouble together for a while during the year. ray, amaya and jax are the three who manage to worm their way into sara’s life and become friends with her and slowly ease her away from that self destructive behaviour, esp ray and amaya - ray with getting through to her understanding what it’s like to have that constant comparison to a sibling, and amaya by being one of the first female friends that sara has had in a while and who she refreshingly needs to find her own since of femininity and style and stuff that isn’t in some way trying to emulate or be opposite to laurel at all

sara drags mick and snart with her away from that whole troublemaking thing and at the same time, ray starts dating kendra (who sara knew through nyssa) and amaya becomes quite close with nate, so them + jax are the original legends.

it’s very early sophomore year that snart moves away (he comes back to visit a few times and he and sara hook up one time after nyssa leaves). kendra starts to drift a bit after nyssa leaves as well, and has her own group of friends even though she and ray are still dating. zari moves to star city right after christmas break and ray and jax are assigned her ‘buddies’ to show her around and she sits with the legends those first few days at lunch. she and amaya click almost immediately, and she likes nate even though he’s a bit annoying and ray is sweet if not a little overwhelming and jax and mick seem pretty chill. but she and sara butt heads so quickly, and a lot of that is bc sara isn’t in a good place at all after nyssa leaving and zari reminds her so much of herself that she’s starting to think all these things about the legends replacing her somehow, and it’s not until ray picks up on that and quietly takes her aside and promises that it’s nothing like that, that zari just needs friends the way they all did last year, sara eases up a bit. (zari tries out for the soccer team soon after though, and it’s there that she and sara realise how well they work together and how good friends they could be if they just tried)

ray and kendra break up early junior year, but they’d been distant for a while anyway. kendra still remains pretty good friends w the legends tho. nate and amaya also break up junior year but it’s an amicable break up and obvs they both stay in the legends.

as for how they became legends - i don’t think neither me or rachel are particularly inventive when it comes to pranks and creative adventures and misdemeanours, so if you (or anyone else) has any ideas for various mischievous things the legends got up to to earn their name, pls send them our way!!

3. they are the fucking cutest okay. thea and ali have been friendly and all since middle school and they’re on the same lacrosse team and ali always thought their group seemed cool, but it’s not until she’s trying to find a new table to sit at (pointedly avoiding looking at her old friends) that thea waves as though they’re Best Friends and points at a free seat beside roy. we have thea, roy, curtis, rené, sin and probs a few other OC’s as their friend group. it’s a big group but everyone has kinda smaller mini groups within it and that group ^ w those names is the group that ali gets adopted into. it’s kinda weird for ali bc she hasn’t had a lot of guy friends before, but she immediately loves it. curtis teaches her how to play video games and she schools rené big time in basketball and when she realises sin is gay, she explains why she left her old group after their homophobic comments abt ava and sin immediately grins and goes “i like you.” roy and thea become ali’s best friends out of the group though, always inviting her to stuff and making points to get to know her and funnily enough, ali never quite feels like a third wheel (i mean, she does sometimes), but it just feels natural. she joins the school archery club bc thea encourages her to, she goes round to the queen house all the time to study and it’s cool bc the queens are friendly with the sharpes bc they’re in the same social circle and thea gets having parents who are Like That and ali realises that she’s never felt more comfortable with a group of friends in her life

(there are so many more headcanons abt the third thing but the post is so long & so we’re gonna save those for another time heh)

A ‘bullet point text reaction’ post thing to the season premiere would be forking good. If you can spare the time in between all the rewatching and RL, which again might be messin with the rewatching. Ps. sexy librarian ftw.

Apologies for the late reply, anon, and thank you for the interest. I gave it a try but apparently I had a lot more rambling in me than expected, so I’m not sure how much the bullet point format will help. Still, I rolled w/ it behind the cut:

obv spoilers ahead for those who haven’t seen + it’s mostly Michael focused but who is surprised at this point? ok, here we go:

Yes. All hail the Sexy Librarian Guy! 👍

and his ~~flawless~~ Australian accent lmao. I am no native speaker but even I could hear it was just… delightfully off. I love this disaster zone demon so much.

and how pleased he was that Eleanor was pleased w/ that particular “intervention”. It’s a small but nice reminder of how making her happy makes him happy now. #oppositeTorturesRule

it’s a v small thing but I also loved the “fast food link”: Michael being ecstatic about the Pizza Hut/Taco Bell combo & Eleanor fantasizing about Chipotle during Chidi’s lecture on Aristotle. It reminded me of that s1 moment when she tells Michael about those Arizona churro dogs and they both just go ahhhhhhhh at the image + Judge Gen ofc (they love fast food in the afterlife)

also also the sweet ache of Michael being entangled in her ticker tape while insisting on nudgy-nudge-nudge her & Chidi together bc that’s how it should be is still pressing hard on my heart thank you v much

but

I think that being deprived of close contact w/ his humans is causing Michael to slide back into puppet master mode again. His motivation is different or “reformed” now (secretly helping instead of secretly torturing) but his methods, his itch to control everything (and failing), and the rigid focus on his goals are… not so much, imo, and I love it bc this is Michael: he is a nerd but also an idiot w/ Wile E. Coyote vibes. Janet tries to reel him in but she can’t. Eleanor was the only one who could control him and she was the only one whose advice he actively sought and listened to, but she cannot be there for him now, so yes, I am getting a lot of S1 vibes from this double ep complete w/ her unintentionally messing w/ his formula by not falling for Chidi & the arrival of Trevor. *rubs hands*

COCOONS

so many

so… squishy

and TODD! I never thought I would see him so soon but I was right: he is the best lava monster and fork you, Shawn, for being a jerk to him when he was nothing but supportive and even brought you guys Dunkin’ Spiders to snack on.

I love Shawn, he is the perfect baddie, and I love that we got another glimpse into how TBP operates w/ all their excruciatingly low-tech gadgets. It’s in sharp contrast to (even Michael’s fake) TGP where everything is so neat, efficient, and high-tech. It’s another nice reminder of how the torturers are also being made miserable in TBP in various ways. I can’t blame Michael for wanting to keep his failing experiment running as long as possible.

Judge Gen (who continues to be a delight and way too relatable w/ her binge-watching of media content) is so up to something, people. I cannot shake this feeling that this whole “Operation Resurrection” is not what it looks like on the surface at all. Maybe it’s an experiment within an experiment sort of deal. I mean, why does she trust Michael of all creatures w/ the monitoring duty at all?? She might be quirky but she is def not stupid. She must know he’s a natural rule breaker who’s incapable of sitting still for longer than 2 seconds and he’s not at all impartial here. The way she set this all up reminds me of the test she gave Jason, and Michael is already failing just like Jason did bc he couldn’t opt out of “playing” due to lack of impulse control and a massive personal bias regarding his favorite team, the Cockroaches. idk what this will mean long-term but I think he’s gonna be in a lot of trouble soon.

speaking of Jason and Michael: theirs is my favorite (sort of bonding) scene, hands down. Again, it reminded me of an early S2 moment when Jason stumbles on a brooding, lost Michael and tells him a dope story about his 60-person dance crew that unexpectedly inspires Michael to seek out Eleanor & Co. The situations are reversed here but it’s an excellent parallel, esp when you compare the two scenes and see the development in both characters and their relationship. Jason is a bit more grounded and Michael is less dismissive and much kinder to him now. I also love Jason’s continued immunity to Michael’s b.s. It’s different from Eleanor’s (his is stupid-based and hers is about being smartbrained) but it works and pushes Michael to just level w/ him and the second he does, Jason becomes instantly receptive. It’s just a really really great character moment that also moves the plot, so it’s basically perfect. Also I think this is the moment when Michael is temporarily pulled from his puppet master mode due to being near one of his human friends again, and his other side peeks out as he lets himself rest a bit - it’s in his body language, too, as he leans back against the bridge railing and has a semi-honest chat w/ Jason.

Michael’s disguises are an eternal source of happiness to me. All of them (and based on promo pics, more is coming). I also love the way he approaches each human bc it is reminiscent of how he steered them during the reboots: to Eleanor he gave a small clue and just let her chew on it and work w/ it. W/ Chidi, he was more direct, posing as a wise helper/guide. W/ Tahani, he targeted her sense of self-worth. W/ Jason, he gave up after 5 seconds and just told him what he wanted him to do.

I doubt his aliases raised many eyebrows, tho, not in a universe where Simone has colleagues called Mrelk and Catapulp :D but Eleanor seemed to have a bit of a “hmm” reaction to the name of Dr. Charles Brainman, so… we’ll see.

Dr. Simone Garnett had probably the smoothest entry into an established character group, imo. I’m usually sensitive to changes like this but it’s like she’s always been here - another excellent casting choice right there. I am not gonna touch shipping issues, thank you, but I love how Simone’s presence, which is a lot of fun in itself, instantly enriched the landscape of relationship dynamics regarding the present, the future and also the past. I feel that every character combination exists somewhere in canon whether it’s explicitly on screen or not, and that’s just an incredibly freeing, resourceful attitude to have on a show w/ this sort of “multiverse” setup, imo. They have the premise, so why not milk its full potential? The writers use relationships as tools to aid character development, they have admitted as much already, and I am looking forward to seeing what other combos they have in mind and how they play out.

despite his limited screen time and despite him spending most of it being flat and emotionless, frog guy aka The Doorman managed to deliver the biggest punch in my heart w/ that reaction to Michael’s gift. I.crumbled. the way his flatness did when he saw the frog on the mug. Thank you, Mike O'Malley.

It’s probably a good thing that they are becoming buddies now bc w/ evil Trevor in the mix, Michael’s gonna turn that Earth entrance into a revolving door. Unless Judge Gen is onto him and steps in at some point. And I still don’t know how he will interact w/ the team now since they’ve all met him already and he was posing as a different person each time. And given his track record, whatever solution he comes up with, Eleanor will see right through him eventually anyway.

ok this is way too long already, so I’m just gonna say that I am very excited for this season, I love the new setup, I miss the fake Good Place but the university environment is growing on me fast, too, and just bring it, show, ok?

my body is ready

A reaction to 'The Children', Game of Thrones season 4 finale

I was going to turn this stream of consciousness into a real blog post, but I think this is as good as I can manage right now. Spoilers ahead, obvs.

We open up with a lovely gloomy bit of Jon Snow grieving beyond the wall, and there was a pretty sweet bit where Ygritte is discussed by Jon and NORTHERN BOSS MAN. It's almost reverent that they don't say her name until they toast to her.

They then toast each other's lost ones from the battle, which is a nice way to show that the free folk are not as barbaric as they're supposed to be, and the confession that they're seeking refuge rather than conquest.

OH MY GOD, STANNIS?!

I do love the moment where he refuses to knee though, particularly when Jon Snow stands up for him in that very calm way. He's not one to throw a tizz is our Jon Snow.

Don't cry, sweetie. I love you really.

Then it's back to King's Landing and Cersei is watching over Ser Gregor's medical examination. Her constant dismissal of Grand Meister is wonderful to see. It's nice to see her still asserting some authority after she's been so frequently beaten down.

Then she goes to stand up to Daddy Lannister. He's a bit of a harsh man, and he does like to keep reminding his children of how much power he has over them, but her mother's instincts are pretty fierce. I have to admit, I do love her as a character.

OOOOOH SHE REVEALS THE BIG AFFAIR!

He's so against believing it! And she knows she'd crushing him. The rains of Catsermere playing in the background is the perfect way to highlight that his ideal of 'family' is falling around him.

Then she swans off to fight Jamie/snog Jamie. She is ON FORM.

Annnnd they're shagging.

Hi Dany!

She is continuing her benevolent leader-ing. Cotton-wool-beard-man is pointing out the flaws in her current system though. People do grow to love their chains, which is a throw back to her own words when she freed her first city.

Oh, what's this? A baby?

He's getting a bit close.

Oh, shit.

The dragons are getting out of control. I knew it. She can't pay for this one, unlike the sheep. What on earth will she do?

It's good to remind her that she's not all powerful though. The dragons love her but she can't control them well enough. not if they're killing children.

But they're so sad to see her go! That was really upsetting, when they were crying out for her as she locked them in. Especially since it was the red and black one that's the most boisterous.

This badass right here

From one really heart wrenching scene to a slightly less-so. The night's watch funeral is sad, but I can't care as much as I do about the dragons.

OH, HI RED LADY!

Wait, is she making eyes at Jon? Is no one safe from her?

Seeing Jon talk to Tormund, there's a valid point about how Snow sees himself. He's saying he doesn't have a king? That's a bit rebellious! It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

Oh, Ygritte I loved you so much. and she looks weirdly regal in death.

Back to Bran. Jojen's getting pretty weak now, but we've found the red and white tree! I've forgotten why we want to find it but there's triumphant music and Jojen's face is so happy. I remember when this guy was in the BBC show, Feather Boy. I cried my little heart out at that. (This was before he was in Love, Actually)

He's actually not changed very much at all, facially....

How many Direwolves are alive now? Two?

ZOMBIES!

Poor Hodor doesn't know what to do! He's so scared. Whenever Hodor gets hurt I get so sad. He's like a child.

This is all very Jason and the Argonauts isn't it?

JOJEN, NO!

WTF. Where's this fire coming from?

This jumped up little shit of a girl is telling them to leave Jojen. I don't think I'm gonna like her.

Now he's dead. Bitch.

Smashy smashy skeletons.

The Children? Is this like Westeros' version of the lost boys? Little immortal kids that just have fun all day every day?

Nope. They're dark and mysterious and I'm not sure that I like their underground house.

The three eyed raven man is a bit spooky. Maybe he's Fagin to The Children's... um, gang.

YES, BRIENNE! Poor Poderick is a bit silly isn't he? I love all the road-trip buddy-movie stories going on in Westeros.

Well... this is awkward.

ARYAAAAAAAAAAA! Is this where Brienne finds out that she's the daughter of Caitlin? Brienne is like, the best role model for Arya. I love their chat.

That moment! When they realise who the Hound is! and who Arya is!!! Yes!!!

Brienne kills this scene.

If these two fight, I want Brienne to fucking win. I want Brienne to take Arya under her wing, even though I love the Hound and Arya's road trip, buddy movie type thing.

OH MY GOD PLEASE FIGHT

I have a horrible feeling the Hound will die and Arya will run away anyway. The kid's too slippery for her own good. NOTE: I was right!!!!!!!!

Brienne has to be the one to reunite Sansa and Arya. She just has to be.

Oh my god, they're fighting dirty. DON'T YOU DARE KILL BRIENNE

Right in the Vagina.

Oh, thank God, Brienne lives.

And now she's lost Arya. For fucks sake.

Arya and the Hound's final moments. There's a lot to like in this scene. Not many people are allowed last words in GoT, but I'm glad Sandor Clegane gets them. Even as he's goading Arya, he's still obviously one of the most noble characters in Westeros.

Arya's stone cold though. I love how brutal she's become as much as I hate it.

YES, JAMIE! Rescue your fucking brother! Considering how terrible the Lannisters are I end up liking them a lot more than some of the technically better people on this show. This goodbye between the two brothers is simply wonderful.

Ooh, can Tyrion go to join his lady love across the sea now?

Wait, what's going to go wrong?

Tyrion? What are you doing?

OH HELL NO.

This is too cruel. How is this allowed to happen? Tyrion is making my heart break. How the fuck did Shae end up in his father's bed? Calling his father the same nickname she had for Tyrion? What the fuck?

Now, if he doesn't kill Tywin I will be incredibly disappointed.

Come on, man.

He's on the fucking toilet. This is a fitting way for him to die. Butt naked on the lavatory. Tywin is just such an arsehole all the way through this conversation.

YES

He did tell you, Tywin. He did warn you not to say that word again.

RAINS OF CASTERMERE.

Poor Tyrion. I have so much love for Varys right now, though.

Now for the sound of water to try to calm us down as Arya rides off on her pony to.... where? a coastal village?

They're off to Braavos? Is Arya going with them? Is that where Tyrion is going? Are we going to see the most badass team-up in television history? Can they please band together with Daenerys?

All Men Must Die.

All Men Must Serve.

THIS MUSIC THOUGH. I'm tingling!

THAT IS THE PERFECT WAY TO END THE SERIES.

~Commissions~ its my first time opening commissions up! so lets get to the info!! :D

Do’s and Don’t’s

Stuff I don’t mind!

Givin’ me all the info! like a whole bunch of info!! about what you want. Reference sheets, detailed descriptions, poses you have in mind, colors, expressions all that good stuff! If you want it, very big chance I’ll do it for you.* (I’ll try at least!) *Not including Limits (listed below)

Giving very little info about what you want. When you’re not sure how to explain what you want, that’s alright! I’d still be down to try to draw what you want! But keep in mind, It might not turn out exactly how you want so please be kind i’m trying.

I have humanoid and animals listed and I can mix and match! I’m pretty creative.

You can ask me to do more than one character in a piece, but the price will have to be changed. and it will take longer to do obv *More details in Payment Info

It’s OK to ask for -Some blood. cuts, bruising, wounds wrapped up, or blood spatter on a wall for ･ﾟ✧ Aesthetic ･ﾟ✧ (Discuss this to me first though and we’ll see what I can do) -Kisses on cheeks, foreheads, no make-outs but Pecks on the lips are fine -If you want a certain style you want (i.e. MLP, Steven Universe, Disney..) I’m willing to try. It depends though, ask me and we’ll see

I dont mind drawing anthro characters

Now, as any person does I have Limits

Absolutely Do Not ask for -NSFW, fetishes, extremely suggestive poses. -Extreme Gore. -Hate Art. -Tracing someone else’s art.**

Extremely detailed backgrounds. This is more of a time thing, I can do it, but it would take FOREVER. If more than one person wants something and I take forever on even one piece because of a super detailed background, everything else would take forever as well and that’s no good.

** This isn’t an exception, but more detailed info on this. I do not want to see someone get denied to use art from an artist and they come to me to copy said art just so they can use it. Yeah, No thanks, that’s not how it works. No photoshop’s of someone else’s existing art to make it slightly different. No asking me to take off watermarks. Do not ask me to basically be your loophole to steal art.

I can deny drawing for anyone. If I deny drawing for you I don’t care who you are, I don’t care how much money you have, I don’t care what you can do. If I say “No thanks” That’s it. Don’t beg, Don’t be a jerk, Don’t be immature.

I’m new at this:

Be patient with me please

Sometimes I only take 30 mins to do full body line art and sometime I take like 8 hours for the same amount of work.

If a lot of people commission me it might be a while before I get to your commission. I’ll talk to you about what the times look like, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to do anything by a set date, UNLESS!… (See Payment Info so you know what the ‘unless!’ is.)

I take like a lot of time to make sure things look really good and the art is worth how much you pay.

Ah yes, The Payment Info

Email/PP address: [email protected]

Paypal Only (I’m gonna work through Invoice)

Priced in USD

Do not specify an address, I don’t have anything physical to give you so there’s no need and also it will cause legal problems so please make sure not to specify an address

You pay first and as soon as I have the money I’ll begin. I’ll tell ya when I’m ready to receive your order so I can start.

You can pay ahead of time if you want if the list is full, but please be sure you can let go of that money, don’t make a dent in your budget because of art. I’d much rather you pay when I’m ready to start your commission

You can have multiple orders and pay at the same time for both or at separate times. But the above rules still apply I won’t work until I’m paid.

Prices can be discussed:

Rush Order (the ‘unless!’) If you want something done by a certain date within a 2 month period it’ll cost 5$ more. Just wait like everyone else if you don’t wanna pay for a rush order.

Later Corrections. This is for after the piece is finished btw. If it’s small and simple, it’s free! But if it’s a big change it’ll cost how much work I have to put back into the piece. So we can talk to see if a change is big or not. You’ll get up to 2 weeks to speak up about any corrections you’d need, but after that the file I worked on might be gone. So don’t be afraid to speak up if it’s small, but we’d still need to talk to see if it’s small enough I’m pretty lenient so you probably don’t have to worry!

Specified Backgrounds, like it really depends what it is. i have limited practice with backrouds so the more simple it is the better. so that’s one way it can dictate the price. Other characters in the background as well, it really depends on how much detail you’d want them to have. Really it’s all about that communication™.

More than one character as the focus is fine and it’s basically double whatever it is for a single character (2 full body colored line art, 40+40=80) or adding whatever it is for a single character in that category (one full body line art and one half body line art, 30+25=55)

The List of Current Projects

I will only work on 3 at the same time. (Have Paid)

1. (open)

2. (open)

3. (open)

Rush Orders (Overrides List)

1- (open) 2- (open)

Wait list (Haven’t paid yet)

1- (open) 2- (open) 3- (open) 4- (open)

Cancellations

So like yikes if this ever happens.

If you cancel before you even pay then like it’s OK because I wouldn’t have started anyways. With the wait list though, you’ll lose your place and if you come back then you go to the back of the line you don’t go back to where you were

If you cancel after I already started but haven’t finished, then I keep the amount that matches with how much work I put into the piece. (Sketch, line art, what ever stage it’s been stopped at.)

If you cancel after I finish, I keep everything, you don’t get the art and you don’t get a refund. Only Pay if You Can Spare the Money. Don’t put yourself into debt for art.

If I’m the one canceling for whatever reason at anytime no matter how much work is put into it, you get a full refund.

What to Expect at the End

Once I’m finished I’ll give ya all these goodies as well as the final piece!

Obviously, you’ll get the art ya paid for. The good high resolution stuff, yo.

You’ll get both a transparent background version and a white or single colored backround [you get to choose]

And, hey, you’ll have my email and/or a tumblr messenger open with me so you’ll also be able to chat with me afterwards if you want. what a bonus!

I’ll get you a link to your finished art, or an email with the file attached whichever you’d like :D

something right

Or, sometimes the only way to make the bad memories shut up is to make better ones. Pre-series Eclaris smut, obvs NSFW, mentions of past noncon relationship, and also on ao3.

She's fallen asleep with her head on his chest, and it might be the sweetest thing that's ever happened to him.

Objectively, Marcos is aware that his current life isn't ideal. He gets by on hopes that someday people like him will be seen as people, and the constant threat of death-or-worse has weighed heavily on him for the last decade or so. The world will be a much better place someday, he believes that with everything in him, but he's not sure how long that'll take or if he'll live to see it happen or-

Lorna purrs, straight-up happy asleep kitten noises, and he has to admit that his current circumstances ain't all that bad either.

This part, he never thought he'd get. The partner curled up around him, content and safe and nowhere else she'd ever be… oh, there were years he thought that was impossible. Even now, it doesn't always feel real, let alone like something he deserves. Maybe it never will. He can learn to accept that.

He supposes a lot of the beauty is in the contrast. He tries not to think too much about his more recent past, but the scars remain. Being the plaything of a sharp-fingernailed monster… he tries not to think about it too much, tries not to even remember her name if he can help it, but that was a mistake and he was a victim and…

Ah, never mind, Lorna isn't actually asleep. Perfect timing too, he thinks as she feathers wet kisses over his heart for no reason other than that she wants to and she can.

"You're tense," she mutters, concerned but too distracted to do anything about it just yet.

"Flashbacks." Best not to say anything more than that; he does not need to spend the entire night talking his wonderful girlfriend down from murdering anyone.

"You get those every time I touch you. Am I doing something wrong?"

Marcos wraps his arm around her, resting his hand on the small of her back. Oh, if only he could have this conversation without having to worry about the possible outcomes. Lorna is just impulsive enough to be dangerous, and he still doesn't wish harm on anyone from his past, and-

"Nothing you need to think about."

Lorna rolls her eyes. "I can handle it. I think I know, but it'd be nice for you to actually say it at some point so I know why I'm planning the dramatic death of cartel bitch…"

Fuck it. She's not wrong.

"It still doesn't feel real. You. Here. Not making me do anything I don't want."

He's said those same words before in the context of how his powers are used, or more commonly not used, but he hopes the weight is there this time, hopes he doesn't have to spell it out.

"Shit."

"Yeah."

"Do you need space? Is that why you're-"

"No," he growls, more forceful than he intends and for a moment he's terrified he might be becoming the same kind of monster he fears most and-

He feels her recoil against him, not enough to make her actually move but her body feels different somehow and he's not sure how to calm her so he kisses her forehead and hopes for the best.

"I just thought I should ask," she breathes. "Now that I know."

"You knew before this."

"Yeah, but now it's…"

Lorna shifts her position a little bit, moving up his body so they're at perfect eye level and she could easily sling her leg over his waist and straddle him if she were so inclined. "You're so… I don't know," she murmurs, and then she leans down and kisses him.

This is where the contrast hits most, Marcos thinks as his free hand tangles in her hair. There's a gentleness in this woman that he didn't know could ever be directed at him by anyone, made even more beautiful because it's so different from how she is with almost everyone else. Yet the different pieces flow beautifully, and he knows there's no malice or cruel intent in her treatment of him. She simply sees something she wants, and she gives just as much as she takes.

"What do you want from me?" she asks between kisses.

"What do you want?" he counters, learned reflex still active despite it being almost a year since he last needed it.

"I wanna kiss you. A lot. Everywhere. I wanna make you feel good. I want…" Her voice cuts off like she might be about to cry.

"Lo. Babe. You have power too. You know that."

"I know," she repeats. "But I want to help."

"You're here. That's enough."

"I can't make your scars go away. I know that. But I want to. Do you understand? I want-"

"Lo-"

"Tell me if I hurt you, and try to lie still. Let me do this. Please."

He trusts her enough to nod his consent. He closes his eyes and flips the switch in his brain, lighting up his skin to a comfortable warmth to make everything that much nicer for her, and he is not afraid. Never has been with her, not really, but this is more conscious than usual and-

She starts at his forehead and slowly works her way across his face. She's determined, he'll grant that, and he swears she wordlessly murmurs things between kisses. Oh, he is damn lucky to have this woman. She takes her sweet time, rests as little of her weight as possible on him as she performs her process, barely touches him otherwise, and-

"Your pants are gonna get in the way… or I could stop before I get that far. Your call."

"Want you," he murmurs.

"Is that a yes?"

"It is."

Her mouth lingers on the curve of his neck as her hands undo his pants and slip them off his hips. Far from the first time another person has undressed him, but the first time he's felt safe enough to keep his eyes closed and focus on the sensations. Lorna is consciously teasing him and enjoying herself in the process, but she's aware of his responses. And in return, so is he.

"This is not how I thought we'd end up having sex," he breathes.

"It doesn't have to be, Marcos. You can say no. You can always say no."

His eyes snap open. Lorna's hair is a curtain across his chest, her breath warm over his heart again (right where this all started), and it's one of the best things he's ever seen.

"I'm not saying no, babe. Just think it's interesting is all."

"Interesting," she repeats, almost laughing. "What, you were planning something romantic?"

"I don't think there's anything romantic about two bodies crashing into each other."

"Oh. Shit. I'm sorry if I-"

"Shh. No. Lorna, I… I'll learn."

"You don't have to. If all we ever do is cuddle and make out, I can deal. I'm not her, Marcos. I won't break you for my own amusement. Or in any other way I can avoid."

"I know. I want… what you're trying to do, were doing just now… please."

He feels her smirk against his skin, closes his eyes again, and lets her continue her exploration.

And oh, if she intended this to make him at peace in his body, it's working beautifully. He responds to her, wants her so badly, but is more than okay when her mouth completely bypasses his dick and instead finds a place on his inner thigh that makes him shift against her in a way that simply cannot be comfortable for her and-

"Do you want me to stop?"

"Kinda? I want… up here. Please."

She complies, straddling his waist almost instinctively. She herself is still clothed, in her usual sleeping combo of tank top and underwear, and he puts his hands on her hips without thinking and no bad too much bad and-

"I'm not breakable," she murmurs. "And I have a good pain tolerance if you screw up. I'll live."

Without any more formalities, she removes her tank top in a fluid motion that… is honestly the hottest thing Marcos has ever seen. He doesn't say as much, but she sees it in his eyes and leans down and kisses him like she knows, and he could get very used to all of this. All of her. All of-

"Do you want me to fuck you?"

"Yes. Please."

Lorna moves off him for just a moment to deal with her last bit of clothing, then carefully positions herself over him and drops down without any real warning. This, too, is different. There's little aggression in their collision, nothing like he's used to. She rolls her hips slowly, takes his hands in hers, keeps her eyes open and smiles brightly. They are equally matched, he thinks as he rises to kiss her and she meets him halfway. If all goes well, they will have years ahead of them to learn each other's bodies, all the weird responses neither of them even know they have yet and-

"You're beautiful," she breathes. "And I know I can't make the bad memories go away, but I can try to give you good ones to live alongside them."

"You already have."

He holds out control as long as he can. In the past, he wasn't given much choice in the matter, and he waits until she notices and-

"Something wrong?"

"Do you want this to be over?"

"Over as in…?" It takes a moment, but her eyes go dark as she processes the implications. "Shit. I'm gonna kill her. Um… what do you want?"

"Good things," he replies, only words he can manage.

Lorna clenches around him, and it's too much, and he kisses her harder than he should because he's scared of what noise he might make and-

"Shh," she breathes as they both come down, as she shifts off of him and reaches for tissues to clean them up. "We're gonna figure this out, Marcos. I like you. And all that weird shit in your brain… we'll get through it."

"This is not what I expected," he murmurs.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No. Something right."

Conversation I Just Had With A Tumblr Bot

Bot: hey there hun

Me: Hello?

Bot: i got ure name from the friend search here on tumblr cuz i was bored and lookin for new people to talk to but i hope i didn't bother u... i know it's a lil random lol

Me: Not bothered. You're someone I know irl, then?

Bot: i just got done studying and i'm gonna take a lil break i'm still in college right now so now i just started back a lil over a month ago and i'm already lookin forward to thanksgiving break

Me: ...Thanksgiving was last month? For most people, this is finals week, and winter break is going to start soon. Are you from a non-American place which also has a Thanksgiving but at a different time of year?

Bot: i was sent from above to fulfill your fantasy's lol

Me: I'm a huge slut for world history. My fantasy is to know which country you're studying in, and what events led to them having Thanksgiving in December.

Bot: lol, welll i have an idea if ure up for a lil fun ;)

Me: Sure! Send me all the Wikipedia articles you've got! Educate me, senpai!

Bot: i was actually going to be getting to work here shortly. my one friend was working online and i kept askin her about it so she finally showed me what she was doing when we got back to school. i thought she was nuts at first lol, u r prob gonna laugh but u wanna hear?

Me: Yes, tell me all the crazy historical facts your sketchy friend knows

Bot: we work online doing private webcam shows which sounded super nuts at first believe me. but i freakin luv it! turns out i can be a lil bit more of a freak than i realized and i really like to put on a show lolol

Me: Oh wow, you guys have your own history documentary web series? Congratulations! I hope you do well and get acquired by the BBC. Unless that's insensitive because you were a British colony. Then I hope you get acquired by somewhere less imperially fraught.

Bot: well so what i was going to say is i have some free passes and i usually just do a private show before i get started to "warm up" lol. no one is online though so i was going to give u one of the passes if u wanted... buttt u have to give me a really good rating so i can get more if u do tho k?

Me: A lot of whom? There are a lot of under-18s on your totally-historically-accurate not-a-porn-site? Well, what seems to be the problem, exactly? This is what high school education is for.

Bot: u should feel special i dont usually give out this one!!! lols im such a goofball sumtimes

Me: Oh, yes, I definitely feel special. You are certainly not a loose woman who would undiscerningly distribute historical information to unvetted plebians. Verily, I am honoured by the privilege of your live action Wikipedia.

Bot: i really can't wait too its going 2 be so much fun. i love meeting new ppl on here, oh by the way... might wanna turn ure speakers down cuz i can get a lil loud once i get going

Me: Toys? I didn't realise your documentary series was also a puppet show, but what a novel idea. I applaud your ingenuity.

There are people in the Theon tag saying we need to stop using the "I should have died with him" quote because it only holds Theon back and then others are reblogging it and tagging it with "Get over this line" and then someone made a gifset with that line and the same person was complaining in the notes about it saying that line has no place in the episode 4 scene with Theon and Jon. and yes these are the same people who hate the books and love the show. They've taken over the Theon tag.

hmmm. OKAY. SO. I cannot sadly reblog that post because I’m blocked by both parties in this story and whatever (NOT the person who made the gifset we all know who we’re talking about trololol *sigh*) but like, I read that post and fuck this noise, as someone who has basically started going into throbb hell thanks to that line and a lot of other shit I honestly have no fucks left to give on this matter so please let me say a few things.

first thing, saying that theon ‘can’t get over that line’ is already not understanding what the fuck that line is there for. thing is: he’s been feeling guilty SINCE A CLASH OF KINGS. the moment he realizes that robb was the person who was his home is the moment he accepts that he did wrong things and he lets it fucking go. or at least he lets it go enough to save jeyne’s hide and do one of the two heroic things people did in these books along with jaime saving brienne. that’s not about him being ridden by guilt, is theon admitting to himself what he had been denying since book two therefore making peace with the part of him who had betrayed robb which is what had been haunting him since acok among the rest but that he hadn’t quite been able to put into words.

like. he realizes he should have died with him. he realizes he’s lost the one person who liked him/cared about him for how he was. that’s the exact moment where every other thread in his story comes to a turning point and where he has to decide who the hell he is and what he wants to do with this life.

turns out he wants to be theon (not theon greyjoy or reek or whatever, theon, aka the person robb knew and who robb thought was an a+ person enough to stay friends with him for years but NEVER MIND THAT) and that what he wants to do is saying fuck you to ramsay, saving jeyne and jumping out of the castle. says something about how realizing that is not a bad thing for him that he put two and two together.

he wasn’t with robb but he wanted to be, and if he had died with robb he wouldn’t have gone through torture and shit which is honestly a good appeal, but the point is that he wanted to be with robb because robb was the one person who valued him and he’d have suffered a lot less but whatever. obv I’m glad he’s not dead. I also wish robb was not dead. but idk last time I wrote fanfic where they did die at the RW all the comments were ‘still less sad than canon’, everyone draw their conclusions.

I also want theon to move on and live a happy life, and the reason he can do it is that he realized he should have been with robb who was the one person who thought the world of him and he’s actually being that person right now without having to hide it because he can’t give two fucks. if he hadn’t come to that realization he could not live a happy life. because he’d be still torn by it. now that he realized it and he made peace with it, he can move on. he couldn’t move on if he hadn’t reached that stage and now that he’s lived up to what robb thought of him he can move the hell on.

he’s not beating himself on the head. he’s working through his guilt and succeeding at it, which the show is doing two seasons too late but never mind, and I hope he gets that defining moment in here too because he didn’t (yet, idk, I haven’t watch the last episode) and THAT WAS HIM REALIZING HE HAD TO MOVE ON. IT’S NOT UNHEALTHY GDI and tbh from two people who love the show best to say that when theon’s been carrying a lot more guilt on the show than in the book is like… what the fuck? then complain to d&d. book!theon’s been done with guilt the moment he jumped out of the walls with jeyne, or at least he’s been done with it enough that he can move on. show!theon hasn’t done that yet.

and he’s looked ahead THE MOMENT HE SAVED JEYNE RATHER THAN LETTING THE BOTH OF THEM DIE AND GO BACK TO RAMSAY like good lord how you don’t read that that way idk but it’s plenty obvious.

if they don’t like that quote, fine. but they really didn’t understand what the hell it’s about and if they didn’t realize that throughout all of adwd theon thought of robb when he wanted to think about when he was happy and not when he was feeling guilty idk what they were paying attention to. too bad because that’s exactly what happened but I guess it requires actually…… paying attention to the book which they already said to hell and back that they don’t like, which is okay. but can they let us people who like the book fucking live?

I’ve been throbb trash since I read that quote. I’ve been throbb trash about that quote for six years. I am never going to get over that damned line. a lot of other people will not either. They can go and make peace with it because the theon tag is full of people who like his and robb’s relationship and seeing it reduced to that and being told that we should get over it when theon’s relationship with robb is what saved his hide because if he didn’t have it he wouldn’t have had a point of reference for good memories/a support system is frankly ridiculous and I have no time for this. No, I’m not getting over it. Yes, it’s a fundamental line for theon’s char development. Feel free to dislike it but then stick to the show and don’t tell anyone to get over that fucking line. And given that basically that line is 90% of the reason why I’m this fandom, this sub-fandom and this ship and I certainly want theon to move on and be happy and so would robb, I find it honestly ridiculous to be told I should get over it. If there’s a reason so many people like it, ask yourself why and for the love of god stop trying to convince us all that the show version is better or that there’s nothing special about the book version.

(Now, this is not on the line but you mentioned the gifset so since I’m here: nice totally unwarranted trashing of poor kit’s acting huh? because obviously he can’t act and he has ‘his usual blank look’? listen, this is a post about theon and I love alfie’s acting and we all know that and I really goddamned do but I’ve seen just that frame and went like FUCKING HELL KIT WHY DO YOU HURT ME SO and like…. wow, nice putting them against each other when kit’s actually fairly good, has gotten really better from S4 onwards, is basically dragging half of this show on his shoulders and is not a bad actor at all all the contrary? christ, wow, amazing, apparently every single intention behind alfie’s acting is crystal clear and they know better than all of us but kit’s acting is ‘blank’ because he always has the same face? yeah no he doesn’t and it’d take watching any scene he was on in the last three years to see that he doesn’t and that it was really low. like. amazing. I knew someone was gonna put it on the acting side. I’ve known that since I knew jon and theon were meeting again. I’M NOT SURPRISED.)

tldr: no I’m not getting over this line, no a lot of other people are not getting over this line, and they should make damned peace with it because there’s a reason it’s a lot of people’s favorite line.

in conclusion:

Theon led the way up the stairs. I have climbed these steps a thousand times before. As a boy he would run up; descending, he would take the steps three at a time, leaping. Once he leapt right into Old Nan and knocked her to the floor. That earned him the worst thrashing he ever had at Winterfell, though it was almost tender compared to the beatings his brothers used to give him back on Pyke. He and Robb had fought many a heroic battle on these steps, slashing at one another with wooden swords. Good training, that; it brought home how hard it was to fight your way up a spiral stair against determined opposition. Ser Rodrik liked to say that one good man could hold a hundred, fighting down.That was long ago, though. They were all dead now. Jory, old Ser Rodrik, Lord Eddard, Harwin and Hullen, Cayn and Desmond and Fat Tom, Alyn with his dreams of knighthood, Mikken who had given him his first real sword. Even Old Nan, like as not.

And Robb. Robb who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy’s loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him.

thanks for the attention, I realize I’m coming off like an asshole, I honestly can’t with this thing where important lines from the books get demoted to ‘but they’re not important’ anymore and I’m not required playing nice at this point.

and given that jon’s had survivor’s guilt since he learned that robb died (but they wouldn’t know since from what I gathered they only read theon’s chapters so they obviously hadn’t read jon’s) it’s absolutely plausible that jon’s thinking the exact same thing. let that damned gifset live and let us book fans live.

Lineup Lamentations - GW5

Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week!

—

WALSH

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Laporte - rip

IN: Otamendi - god help me

Unfortunately I was unable to save off the back of the WC which never feels great, but hopefully making a lateral swap here which frees up 1m to boot.

I don't really imagine this going well, since I have slated Ota for a while, and think he's more or less a red card shout / absolute shit house player generally speaking, but here we are.

If it's a transfer waiting to happen, so be it, but the bottom line is I still want a share in City's defense, I don't trust Everton for cleans still, and something didn't feel quite right going all the way down to a Burnley guy in a spot on my team which I realistically need to start week in week out... Until Pep shows us that he is willing to play anyone not named Otamendi as the LCB with Laporte out then I will just hope and pray he doesn't kill anyone (which would thus kill himself with a ban) and doesn't die. Whatever. Cue Dinho and Schtones at CB tomorrow.

Post international break GW is usually a complete disaster crisis gameweek so I am just simply trying to brace myself for it ahead of time.

GK:

Pope (bha)

Pope is looking good in this moment with the good run of fixtures incoming. He's been just a bit below average with only one return through four but the underlying metrics are looking good for him and hopefully he's just a long term hold guy I don't have to worry about.

DEF:

Alexander-Arnold & Robertson (NEW)

Trent and Robbo with the home banker okay lets go Livp. Early game so much of my mood for the ensuing foots will be decided by these boys. Realistically a win to nil at home against a bad bus feels like a reasonable expectation for this one so hopefully it comes to fruition.

Otamendi (nor)

New nightmare Ota is straight in, obv. Somewhat tricky away fixture for a clean but it's still City so he'll just be an auto start every game until I remove him.

Lundstram (SOU)

Finally, Lundstram gets his first go in my squad home to Soton.

I'm going to be rotating him in and out over the near term so we'll see if this is the beginning of something beautiful between us or the beginning of a fraught relationship that will lead to me hating him for the rest of my life. Time will tell.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling & De Bruyne (nor)

The trio of Mo Raz and Kev remain and likely will do for some time. Really nothing to say about these three other than they are good. Spots I don't really need to think about at this time.

McGinn (WHU)

Rounding out midfield is someone who is not really that good in McGinn.

Good home fixture with West Ham rolling up so hopefully he is able to get in there. If he looks bad and/or they look bad then I might fuck him off.

He's on a short leash, that's for sure, as he was really the one shit place I compromised on my WC team since I wanted to plump for Laporte... With that money freed up now, no other problems in my team, and a new price bracket open to me... I might fuck him off even if he does return. Who is to say?

FWD:

Pukki (MCI) & Haller (avl)

Pukki and Haller the two amigos seem like just a couple great value picks and happy to have them.

Great fixture for Haller and he might slowly but surely present himself as a long term hold. Stats and eye test are there with him not to mention the price is right - think he's a really tidy option.

Pukki has a tough fixture but as Farke showed us the lightning and thunder in GW1 at Anfield who knows what's what with them. Obviously they are completely decimated by injury, but I need to see multiple bad attacking performances before I begin to worry here.

CAP:

Sterling (nor)

Going back to the Raz well again. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, fucking hell fuck me.

Still don't feel confident enough capping Kevin over Raz, and probably won't do all season, if I'm being honest here.

I think Norwich with no fit defensive players (Farke's words, not mine) and the style they employ is not a comparable fixture to a Newcastle bus so I didn't really think about Mo this weekend.

Counting on Raz to not have 0 shot attempts again this week. Obviously the trip to Ukraine midweek for UCL is a thing that is happening, but whatever.

Trying to predict how Pep hands out minutes is like (insert funny thing here) and I don't really want to find some psychological line to talk me into Raz will play 53 minutes only to see him haul and play 88.

Been there before, not trying to go there again.

ALON

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Deulofeu

IN: Che Adams

Gerry dropped all the way down to 6.2 so there was a relatively small and unimpressive pool of dudes for me to choose from for this punty spot in my team.

Realistically this is a one or maybe two week punt before I pop my Wildcard next week or the week after... Che has actually insanely good expected stats which is nothing to scoff at even though the goals have not flowed at all...

The greater skill to have and the harder skill to find is to keep getting off the high xG shots rather then to be finishing at a higher rate above your xG, if that makes sense... I hope I’ve worded that clearly...

Anyway, TLDR: Che is doing stuff, Southampton are an attacking team in an attacking setup, Ralph is good I like Ralph, and Soton have the fixtures over the next two. And that’s why I went Che.

COME ON CHE!!!

GK:

Ederson (nor)

City gotta clean their shit up a bit if they’re gonna be a 20+ cleans type of dominant force again this season but yeah of course I back them to do exactly that.

Eddy’s been mostly really good this season and I feel comfy with him.

DEF:

van Dijk (NEW)

It’s time for rotation to begin for the top teams... feels good to have the safety of VVD who is a rock. And this clean should be straightforward for Liverpool.

Digne (bou)

I’m a little nervy about Everton’s defending and their ability to limit good chances... Digne kinda papers over the cracks with his terrific attacking output, but if they start looking like cleans are going to be a rarity this season then even his attacking numbers will not make him worth the 6.0+ million.

Maitland-Niles (wat)

Ainsley AKA Ashley was rightfully so very deep on my bench for liv TOT and he put up one pointers in each of those so we’re fine.

In his two starts for me (GW1 and 2) he got twelve and two puntos respectively so he’s still been a sneaky great guy for me thus far... Arsenal’s very long very good run of fixtures starts now but Bellerin also is coming back soon so time is running out.

Hoping Arsenal can do a job and keep out the Quique Sanchez Flores bus this week and maybe he’ll sneak another attacking return. Come on Ashley.

Emerson (wol)

Starting Emmy here because Wolves suck at attacking and Chelsea could still keep a clean and Emerson could still get an attacking return who knows?

Rudi looks like he’s back this week which is a huge upgrade and Kante will be back soon which is another huge upgrade but yeah, not feeling great about this pick.

Also Emerson’s injury news doesn’t look great for me but if he doesn’t play I have Söy coming in in a cleanable fixture at Old Trafford so not too bad.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling & De Bruyne (nor)

Doing the trendy thing and just grouping these sexy fucks together because they’re all awesome and they have good fixtures and that’s all you need to know about that.

Mount (wol)

Everyone knows the deal with Mount. Looks great, takes a lot of shots, presses like a maniac, on frees and corners, it’s just good stuff. At his price it’s just good.

FWD:

Pukki (MCI)

Pukki in a yikes fixture here we go... Norwich are so fucked up and injured I don’t know I definitely don’t expect any points here but maybe they get one or two good counters or maybe Pukki takes a pen or something. He’s good enough to roll out there, for sure.

Adams (shu)

I said all I needed to say about lord Che in the transfers section.

CAP:

De Bruyne (nor)

I guess everyone has Sterling and a lot of people have Kun and understandably they’re garnering most of the captaincies that I’m seeing around the block.

Kevin, for me, so far this season is on a completely new level that we haven’t really seen from him before. His expected stats are out of control and he’s also got the seventh highest Fantasy Goal Involvement percentage of all mids at 54% which is craaaazy high for a team like City.

For what it’s worth too in the past Pep has rode Kevin like a horse in the league and he’s not really ever been a rotation risk. I feel ~some~ percent safer of him starting these kinds of games before UCL then I do with the forwards.

Come on Kev treat me.

RANDOM SLACKER OF THE WEEK: GNAR

The words of Random Slacker are not officially endorsed by this website nor any employees of FML FPL LLC.

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Laporte

IN: Otamendi

I don’t feel like I have too much choice in who to take out this week. Laporte having knee surgery and set to miss the rest of 2019 means he’s an absolute no brainer to axe.

Who to replace him with is a much more interesting question.

I’ve been playing 5 at the back all season and it hasn’t worked out as well as I’d hoped so far. But I do feel like I’ve been unlucky with Laporte’s injury and his missed clean sheet being the icing on the cake.

If I went for a cheapo like Lundstram, there aren’t many midfielders I’d be desperate to bring in with the spare cash, apart from KDB, who is out of my reach anyway. So I’ll be continuing my Heavy D strategy, bringing in Otamendi, who is 5.4 and nailed on in a top 2 defence.

GK:

Leno (wat)

New manager for Watford, so an inevitable new manager bounce.

I have Heaton (WHU) as a rotation option, but the odds point to Leno for the clean sheet, although it’s quite marginal.

DEF:

Digne (bou)

I didn’t watch their 3-2 victory against Wolves but I heard Digne looked defensively dodgy. I did watch their 2-0 defeat to Villa the previous week, and while Everton looked completely toothless and unconvincing, Digne at least offered a bit of attacking threat. I’m not expecting a clean sheet here, but Digne has 9 chances created this season. For a defender, that’s second only to…

Alexander-Arnold (NEW)

14 chances created – 14, compared to Digne’s 9; Trent absolutely wipes the floor.

I took a hit last week to upgrade VVD to Trent and I got an immediate positive net return from it. As well as his excellent attacking prospects, Liverpool also have the best clean sheet odds this week by quite a distance.

Robertson (NEW)

Very good chance of a clean sheet this week and although he’s no Alexander-Arnold, he also offers a very good goal threat.

Maybe I’m guilty of picking and choosing stats here, but out of defenders, Robertson’s 2nd for touches in the box this season (12), which is quite a biggie for me when assessing players’ attacking potential.

Otamendi & Zinchenko (nor)

Welcome to the team, Ota.

With Laporte injured, I expect Ota to nail down a place in the first team. Enough said.

Zinchenko has a bit of a Mendy threat looming, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, another well priced Man City defender who will trickle points as long as he starts. Lacks the explosiveness of KDB (yeah he’s explosive now) or Aguero, but for 5.5, I’ll take a 6 pointer every 2 weeks for sure.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling (nor)

Grouping these two together because there’s just not that much to say. The two best players in the game don’t need writing about, especially when their fixtures are as easy as this. The only question is which one to captain.

Mount (wol)

14 shots in total this season, 7 on target, both are the highest of any other midfielder. But with only 5 of those shots coming from inside the box and an xG of 0.82, perhaps he’s a bit opportunistic and has been a bit fortunate.

Mount still feels like a bit of an unknown quantity to me and I haven’t watched too much Chelsea this season, but he’s well priced and there are plenty of other options in his bracket, so happy to see how he gets on over the next few.

FWD:

Jota (CHE)

I always like to plan my ideal transfers a few weeks ahead.

Before the last gameweek started, I was planning Jota to Barnes. Unfortunately Laporte got injured, so my priority changed and Jota stays with me for one more week. And Barnes is now injured anyway, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.

Jota is a funny one. He’s scoring for fun in the Europa League, but looking absolute garbage the following Sunday in the Premier League. He was in the squad, but played 0 minutes in Portugal’s 2 games over the IB. I feel like Jota might redeem himself.

Pukki (MCI)

The main man for Norwich.

If they score, there’s a very good chance that Pukki will be involved.

As an Ota + Zinc owner though I’m kind of hoping they don’t.

CAP:

Salah (NEW)

A real coin toss.

Salah and Sterling are both fantastic options this week, like they are every week.

So far, every gameweek I’ve picked the lowest scoring one out of the two. In week 3, I went against my instinct and went for Raz over Mo, which backfired. This week, my instinct is telling me Mo so I’m just going with it.
