#You guys are hilarious that I can't help but edit in pictures

Hey. Can you help me with a thought thing. Trying to think of Belial pre-Cilius dying wings and i can't remember if canon ever showed them? So I'm left with three possibilities
White Feathered Wings (which is hilarious)
Black Feathered Wings (fitting)
Black Scaled Wings (now that I think of it these actually might just be because of combining with Avatar but I'm not sure)
There is a fourth but it's kinda boring, no wings. Wings are fun.
Also perhaps a bit of a random, unrelated thought but I could see Lucilius trying something similar to Da Vinci's flying machine. Later is asked how it went and he just says 'innefficient', refusing to acknowledge twigs and leaves in hair. Probably tried it so he doesn't have to be flown everywhere by the Primarchs/Belial when he doesn't take a ship. Actually might not be accurate to Lucilius character but funny nonetheless
Anything if i can help out!
iirc, canonically, we've never seen Belial's wings pre-Lucilius's death. His boa should be his wings rn, and we know of the base bones of what his wings might have looked like from his Avatar form.
when it comes to the possible things you bring up:
I'm convinced he had wings, so let's forget the fourth one.
I'm also team "they must have had feathers", because most angels have fathered wings and it would both explain the boa and add horrors to the Avatar wings being scaled.
and now it's all about the colors. White would have him match Lucifer, might be too light-y, hallo-y. On one hand i feel like it could fit him, as he was standing by Lucifer's side. On the other, with Lucifer being Light and the four primarches having colored wings fitting to their elements, and Sandalphon having them brown, i would imagine Belial having them bitch black*, or maybe a shade of purple (like his boa) to reflect on the fact he is our representing for the darkness.
(*edit: TYPO I MEANT PITCH, but tbf bitch fits him so well i don't want to correct it. rip.)
BUT HELPPP the whole thing you're picturing with Lucilius is very funny. The guy had to start the experiment somewhere!!!! I think it'd be funny to imagine him being deadpan while irritated about some experiments failing.
It's a pretty neat thing to imagine!!
hope it helped out a bit and take care ;D

I’m going to send you my bumble profile and I’m gonna see if you would swipe right or maybe do a experiment to see if I’m likeable based on my bio alone because idk if I’m doing this right 😭
Jeongin, 18 (obviously my real name)
Bio: I am a bit of a nerd… but I hope we can have a lot of fun! I just want someone to cuddle and have bubble tea dates with… ;( sc: (not sure if i’m allowed to promote here *wink*)
I also did those question thingy lol
I get way too excited about...
Piccadilly Circus. I can't stop talking about this amazing part of London.
A review by a friend:
"He's literally the most hilarious and the sweetest guy you'll ever meet. Literally.
He gave me a SHINee doll for my birthday." - Asahi (Online friend)
Favourite quality in a person...
Of course personality would be one, but I also really like their smile. Even better if I'm the one who made it happen!
Interestingly, none of my favourite artists are even K-pop- they’re literally afrobeats, r&b and uk grime. like if you saw the word “nerd” but you see songs that most people listen to 🥹
Is this an interesting profile? Should I change something a little bit? Is there another app I should try? Please give me some tips ;(
Okay, you're profile is absolutely precious and yes I would swipe right cause in my experience guys with profiles like yours are always just so sweet and lovely and I have the best time with them massive green flag. Change nothing. I think casting a wider net and trying other dating sites would just help figure what works best for you. I don't like bumble because of the girls message first rule which I don't know if they still have it but it's kinda stupid for a multitude of reasons. I personally think tinder is easier to use but it has a higher volume of nonsense. There's a ton of other ones. And I really suggest just going in light hearted and being yourself. Just relax and have fun with it. I consider it like a really interactive sim dating game like how i consider photo editing apps makeover games but with me. I think your profile is great just have to consider it a fun thing to do when you're bored and use it casually. Just from your profile you'd attract from my nct tinder series Shotaro, Sungchan, Doyoung, Winwin, Xiaojun Kun, Mark, and Jaemin. which are are the best ones to match with. With mine I'm only getting Johnny, Yuta, Yangyang and Jaehyun maybe Hendery fboy and weird boy magnet. Also pictures I suggest using pictures that show off who you are and your essence or just the ones you love the most. but you are going in the right direction.

I'm curious. please elaborate on canon erisol thoughts
Ok so, if given the chance Eridan and Sollux can come to the realization that they have more in common than they might think. This is why erisolsprite survived, basically. Prince of Hope, Mage of Doom. Both of them deal with loss and destruction.
Basing ourselves from this principle at some point during their many battles (Sollux why did you not refuse to fight. thats kinda gay man), they might fall into a kismessisitude. Picture this:
A huge explosion. The aftermath, the dust settles, both of them are exhausted but when they catch each other once again through the cloud of debree they can't help but lunga again. They claw and throw a punch or two but then that also settles too, something else has been battling between them, a deeply rejected feeling of attraction they're both too afraid to accept. But then suddenly they catch their eyes again and they share one passionate kiss. The high they've been chasing for
ok might have gone overboard there.
basically, there's a reason theyre both friends with karkat too
GOD THEY'RE. JUST TWO IDIOTS. THEYRE BOTH STUPID OK
post-edit note: i forgot i had this on the drafts lmao.
Anyways forget all I just typed. That was a drabble, not an elaboration.
The actual reason they could click is because they are both so desperate for something that makes them stop feeling like assholes, like losers. But, when you are in a relationship with an ever bigger loser than you it all seems kinda alright actually. But! they both think they're better than each other so it's hilarious.
THIS PAVES THE WAY TO SO MANY TENDER AND EMOTIONAL MOMENTS. THEY COULD BE SOFT ONCE THEY OPEN UP. DO YOU SEE IT.
it's about the loneliness. its about thinking you deserve less and less until you're left with what to you is the worst person to be with but he's actually not that bad, just a little stupid. and hey maybe this idiot knows what it's actually like to feel like you dont mesure up to what you want, what you could. things feel a little more real, but also a little less real. who the fuck does this guy think he is.
I dunno man, just tink about it
sory i can't form more coherent thoughts atm but i wanted to finally answer this.
Feel free to ask me for more

Baker MC: April Fool's Special
Baker MC strikes again! Fooling the Demon Brothers in April Fool's by their realistic cake. How would they react?
Note: I would like to apologize beforehand, some of the brothers turned out to be boring rather than funny. I will try to edit this when I have the time.
Lucifer:
[No image was available for this]
Background: You planned this with the Anti-Lucifer squad. You hid all his pen in his room leaving a suspicious "pen" that looks like the pen he usually use. Satan put a powerful spell on the pen, removing its sweet scent to avoid the suspicion. You put a hidden camera to see his reaction.
Luci daddy came home tired from all the things he'd done in RAD.
He still have some paper works to finish, he put the paper works in the table and sat on his chair.
Ya'll saw him eyeing the "pen"
He picked up the pen and was gonna start writing until he glared at the camera and crushed the pen.
It was a chocolate and strawberry cake
He licked the strawberry (the filling of the pen) that splattered near his mouth, made a grin, glared at the camera and said "Run."
You all ran for your lives, spreading inside the House of Lamentation
Did you succeed in running : Nope
Did you three hang from the ceiling: Yes
Ya'll saw him smirk and laugh like a madman afterwards
Bonus:
Lucifer took a picture of you three hanging from the ceiling and sent it in the group with Diavolo.
Ofc ya'll didn't knew, you were hanging from the ceiling
Levi made it a meme and posted it on Devilgram AND gave Lucifer and Diavolo a printed copy
April Fool's to you
Mammon:
Tumblr media
Credits to: The BakeKing
It was your turn in making dinner and Mammon kept bugging you if he can help.
"No Mammon" you kept on saying but he was still bugging you.
You weren't really mad at Mammon (honestly you thought it's funny), but to make things interesting...
"I SAID NO MAMMON" you shouted at him.
"LOOK WHERE YER CUTTING HU--AAAAHHHH!!!" You cut your hand and blood was running.
"AAAAAH! LOOK WHAT YOU DID MAMMON" you screamed.
"MCCCCCCCC YOUR HAND" yes I can see Mammon He screamed loud enough that it can be heard at Diavolo's castle.
Glad you two are alone in the House of Lamentation though
You were wearing a long sleeved jacket and the "cake" was your hand; it was like a lava cake, instead of chocolate it was darkened and smoothened strawberry puree.
You glared at him and blamed him
Poor boi was crying, kept apologizing, and saying the lines of "I'm sorry", "I'm so dead", and "Let's take ya to the hospital".
He shitted on his pants and kept panicking poor boi
It was hilarious tho
He was crying and you couldn't hide the laughter
"Oi! Did someone hit ya in the head? WHY ARE YA LAUGHING YER HAND WAS CU-" and he he saw that the interior of the so called "hand" was made out of strawberry and strawberry puree.
"April Fool's Mammon!" you told him as you finally reveal your real hand.
"MC! Why did ya prank me?! It wasn't a good prank! I thought you-" You shushed him while you gave him a small bag of grimm.
"Is it for me? Are ya sure ya ain't pranking me this time?"
"Yeah, now buy what you want to buy, I will just go to my room for a while" you replied.
Cue you teleporting
It was a bag full of gold-coated chocolate that looks (and is heavy) like a bag of grimm.
"MCCCCCCC!!!!!"
The next few days you see Mammon pouting and murmuring things about you.
You felt bad so you left grimm on the floor of his room every time you were near it
Leviathan:
Tumblr media
Credits to: The BakeKing
On April 1st, Levi was required to go to the school for academic purposes, so you took this chance to play a lil prank on him.
When Levi was away, you hid all the items that he usually use: computer, consoles, Azuki-tan pillow, and some Ruri-chan figures.
And you took time to make realistic cake that are very similar to those you hid.
When he was almost home, you placed all the realistic cake on his room.
You were supposed to go on a raid with him when he comes home
Cue him coming home and going to his room
You visited the him in his room, panic reflecting off his face.
"Levi, is there something wrong?" you asked
"Ah, it's this computer, it doesn't open! And it seems I'm kind of making a dent on it too. It's so weirdddddd" he said
He got a bit forceful and his finger created a hole on the computer
"Eh? Cake? Mc did you do this? Lmao"
You hand him a note that says "Look for the cakes, the location of the real ones lie at the last treasured cake"
"Oh boy mc a scavenger hunt, its like the new anime I was watching 'My fiancée is a criminal mastermind that kept giving me clues to find the missing items and bodies to make myself famous' " I'm really sorry I really suck at names
So he proceeds with finding all the cakes, and he got all the real things for his room however...
" MC where is my limited edition Ruri-chan that is dressed like a succubus?"
"It's there, it was with the other Ruri-chan figures" you said as you were looking at the figures that he was holding
Turns out Mammon saw all the goods on your room, and took the chance to get one since he knows it wasn't yours.
April fool's? I guess.
Satan:
Tumblr media
Credits to: SideSurf Cake Studio
You were helping him in his cooking duty today.
You requested that both of you make human food because apparently you "missed the taste" of the cuisine.
So you took care of the usual ingredients of the cuisine: vegetables, onion, garlic, meat and etc.
He didn't know or did he that you secretly placed realistic cake counterparts of it.
When it was cooking time, he selected the cake counterparts (this boi might be smart but you were from the human world so he thought it was correct).
He started cutting an onion, to his dismay he saw a soft chocolate interior.
"Huh? That can't be right, I believe onions should either have violet, yellowish, or whitish hue inside"
"Hmmm yeah, let me try this one" you said as you grabbed another onion and proceed to cut it
"Hm, this one is the right one, I wonder what happened to that" you said
STOP THE CAP MC
"Hm, anyways I will proceed in cutting the rest"
Bottom-line all he cut was cake and what you cut the real one
"Satan, maybe you were cursed? All the ingredients that you touched turned into cake" you said as you were preparing to take the meal to the dining area.
"I suppose that is the case, however... "
"Hm?" you said as you were supposed to bring the meal outside.
"However I have outsmarted you MC, I knew it was you who made those realistic mini cakes" he said as he took a bite of the onion cake while grinning smugly
Smart boi #2
"I-uhhh No it was not- Hey wait a min! If you knew why did you continue to make me believe you were fooled!" you replied
"April Fool's MC~, if I didn't do that I wouldn't have  extra time to spend with you" he said as he got out patting your head
Satan, you slick son of a bish
Asmodeus:
Tumblr media
Credits to: Etsy
This guy is late for school
Did you plan to make him late? Yes No
Cue flashback: you ruined his beauty sleep 3 times which resulted in kicking you out of his room and made him wake up late
Well even though he is late, he would still do his morning routine without rush
Priorities ✨
You put a small camera on top of his cabinet to see his reaction
After hours of bathing he sat down to his dresser
He grabbed his toner and when he squeezed it lightly it nothing came out
"Ehhh? That's weird, I could've sworn this is the new toner I bought" he squeezed it more and the toner was destroyed revealing a squished vanilla cake
He sighed and said "MC did it again"
He tried looking and poking all of his makeup just to make sure it's not mini cakes
10/10 are all mini cakes
He saw a note that said "In the drawer lies the real make up hehe April Fool's day!"
When he came to RAD, he was already late for 4 hours
"MC when I said I wanted Makeup mini cakes, I wanted it for my birthday! Not today!"
Is disappointed at you
Will frown and pout when he pass by at you during school
Well you feel bad at pranking him so you treat him at an exclusive spa
Beelzebub:
Tumblr media
Credits to: The Custom Cake Shop
I mean Bell eats everything, so is there even use?
Beel had the whole day working out
Since he didn't have much money (not that you persuaded him to bring less, no-) his only option is to go home and eat
During the time he was working out, you made different flavored cakes and pastries into dishes. You made a ton of (chocolate-strawberry cake into) cheeseburger, (cheesecake) devildom sushi, cake turned into slushy (the container can be eaten too), plates can also be eaten, etc.
Well you made Beel drool, he didn't waste time so he sat down and took a bite of the cheeseburger
He was slightly shocked because it was sweet rather than savory
But that didn't stop his hunger
It was about 10 mins till he finished what you have created in 12 hours (and more)
"MC all you made was really delicious, now I want something salty to eat...Let's eat dinner!" he said as he dragged you to eat
April fools to you
After that whenever you gave him something to eat/drink (like a glass of slushy or something) he would try to also eat the container
Poor kitchenware and Luci's budget
Belphie:
[No image was available for this]
This boi knows
Smartboi #3
You gave him a pillow that is the same as the pillow he usually carries
He didn't really say anything about it, but he knows for a fact that it is cake
He slept on it
Your hard work in making it realistic,, he slept on it
You came back to his room and you wait for him to wake up
"Mcccccc, this is so fluffy like my favorite pillowww, but it's not really a good way to prank someone, but on the other hand it's really convenient...."he said as he yawns and signals you to come to his bed
He took a bite of the errrr pillow and said" This is really good, like the last time you made a toilet paper, but you know what else is good?"
My love for you jk
" Hm?" you replied
" This!" he said as he began tickling your sides
You fight him back and tickle his sides when you had the chance
It ended of as you two were panting and laughing in bed
Poor cake pillow forgotten

A Barbatos x GN! MC fanfic
1.98k words
Genre: angst
Trigger warning: None
It was the same cliff… trees and breeze... The same dusk… But the voice calling them were not anymore...
… sensitive yet capable... One that withstand pain and hardship yet kept their gentleness.
Despite it being in the middle of the day, the sky enveloping the Devildom is dark. Very unlike that place. A place where the sun would shine so brightly even from the back of their mind. Not the human world where they grew up. Not the Celestial realm they visited once. It was only the Devildom whose light came from the moon and not the sun. Should the moon doesn’t exist in this kingdom, it’ll surely be pitch black.
Yet, in the dimness of the kingdom they’ve suddenly been to... Who would have thought I would meet my sun in such a place? A smile formed on their face as they delved deeper in their thoughts.
As they did so, a strong wind blew past them. It was strong, they didn’t notice someone approaching them.
“Oh!” a pat on their shoulder snapped them back from their deep thoughts.
“Y/N? What are you doing?” They flit their head behind and meet with the same, familiar eyes.
“Lord Diavolo... Nothing. And Queen Rose? Did something happen?” Their surprised demeanor was replaced with a confused one. Why wouldn’t it? Since unless some responsibility on the Kingdom required to, the royal couple is technically attached at the hip. Which is still pretty rare.
“Stop with those formalities. You’re making me sad.” As if he were not such a tall, well-built demon, Diavolo looks at them like a weeping dog.
“Alright, I’m just teasing you... So, what happened?”
“Rose got angry over one of my posts on Devilgram.” His pout becomes more obvious as he complains to them like a child.
“Oh, that picture.” Diavolo didn’t have to elaborate further for them to guess which one it is. It was a picture of Diavolo pecking the Queen on her cheek on their bed chamber.
“Even if I were her, I would be mad. You’re the rulers of Devildom after all. You can’t afford showing any vulnerability to your people.”
“But love is our strength!” He emphasized the last word with his hand gesture and furrowed brows.
Which only received a giggle from the human. “You sound like those princesses in the movie we watched yesterday.”
“Hey, I’m being serious… Since when did you take her side anyway?”
“I’m just speaking with reason.”
“You’re so harsh these days. Where is the angel I knew? Barbatos is rubbing on you a bit too much.”
“I won’t be if you were a bit more reasonable. And remember, Simeon can be scary too sometimes.”
Diavolo paused for a moment to think. “Right.” And let out a sigh. “Why can't I win a debate with you? I'm the King, you know.”
“Then be glad I'm an ally.”
“But Y/N...” Diavolo stared at them for a moment. “I noticed you're becoming more beautiful. More than ever.”
“...Where’s Queen Rose? She needs to know the king’s flirting with his ex—”
“Hey, I don't mean it! I mean, not that way! You're beautiful as a friend.”
“Beautiful more than ever as a friend, yes?”
“I mean it with pure intention! And Rose is the most beautiful! You know that!”
“Most beautiful. Favorite line, huh…” They sassily fiddled with their nails as they stared at it.
“Let's settle this here? I-I'll even grant you a wish.”
They glanced at him from their nails and stared at him. “Pfft— Hahaha!! I'm kidding, I’m kidding, pfft— hahaha! You should have seen your face, hahaha!”
“Are you messing with me again?” He frowned at them.
“I was but, hey. A wish from the King is rather enticing.”
Looking straight in their eyes, “Are you still mad because of our past?” he asked. As if he's been holding this question back for so long. In guilt of what they have been through because of him.
And with a smile, they replied “No.”
It was the truth.
They could never hold anything against Diavolo. They can never hate the man they fell in love with…
“Your face is just so hilarious I can't help it.” Rather, they wanted to see that expression one last time. That expression I adored way too much, as I fell beside the cliff.
“Since when did you become so fickle?” Yet despite his words, a sense of relief emanates from the Royal Demon.
He is now certain. He is finally free from the shackles he created himself. And they...
“Spare Barbatos some slack. Some regular day offs will do too and you’ll be absolved of your offense.” Without Diavolo being able to snap a last glance on their face, they turned their back to him and started walking. Despite it, a smile formed on his face.
“Consider it done...” He said as they wave as a response before disappearing from his sight.
I see you’re finally free from my curse... Diavolo chuckled as he left to return to his queen, ready to ask for another forgiveness.
---------
“Y/N.” It was the same cliff. The same trees and breeze. The same dusk who witnessed everything. But the voice calling them were not the prince’s anymore.
“Barbatos, you’re early.”
“I apologize for always making you wait for me but,” worry was showing on his face as he looked at them. “...do you always wait here this early?”
“Don’t mind it. I love waiting for you.” Barbatos’ heart skipped a beat from their words, a tint of pink forming on both person’s ear tips.
“A-Ah, right. You didn’t tell me you'll plant some flowers here.” They touched the petals of the Forget-me-not flowers as if to avert the butler’s attention.
It was as healthy as the one they took care of or perhaps even healthier.
“Were they not to your liking?”
“No, I… love them.”
“Then I'd be glad if that were the case. I raised them with the thoughts of you after all.” Even though Barbatos’ remarks were always like that, they couldn’t help but feel bashful everytime.
“Seriously, how can you say some cheesy lines so smoothly?”
“Hmm? I don’t recall saying such things.” He lifted a knuckle under his chin while glancing upward as if in thoughts.
“This guy..!” All they could do is shut up and frown. They couldn’t remember a time where they actually won on Barbatos’ wordplays.
“Is there something that displeases my flower?” Barbatos moved towards them when the frown they wore turned into a sad smile when they glanced again at the blue flowers.
“Well...” they sighed, Barbatos now stepping in to caress their face. “I just remembered the poor flowers I destroyed that day. I cared for them for a long time only to die from my own hands.”
Barbatos brushed his thumb to their cheek, fondness reflected in his eyes. “But they didn’t.” It was still like a dream for him to be able to hold them freely as he wished.
“What do you mean? Of course they will. I pulled them all off the ground myself.”
“Would you believe me if I said this plant was your flower’s seedlings and roots?”
“Y-You mean..!?” The human’s eyes snapped back to the Forget-me-nots. That’s probably why the flowers have the exact same shade and size as back then.
“I thought it’ll be a great gift for you.” He let them go to squat and check the flowers closely.
It took a while as they observed and admired the lush flowers. It was a comfortable silence, as Barbatos watched his favorite bud.
“Hey Barbatos.” Finally satisfied from staring at it, they rose on their feet. “I had some silly idle thoughts a while ago.”
“What is it?” He asked. But unlike them, the demon butler’s eyes never left his favorite flower. He could spend another millenia just gazing at them, and still say it’s the best sight he's ever seen.
“Devildom is a dark place no matter how I try to think of it.” He watch their back across the nightfall. The way the cold breeze brush through their locks. Those subtle shivers they give off as chills bites at their sensitive yet capable arms. One that withstand pain and hardship yet kept their gentleness.
“Then how come of all places, I’ll meet my sun there?” He tread beside them, not minding their words.
Not even the fondness in Barbatos’ eyes yields. Not in the slightest.
He knew. It was Diavolo. It will always be his Young Master. “He was so bright. So dazzling yet I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Diavolo will always be my sun.” And he… He already accepted this fact a long time ago. Staying by their side, until they found their happiness, is more than enough for him.
So instead of reacting, he removed his coat and placed it over their shoulder.
“I won’t forget. I will cherish the memories he left, no matter how painful it is. After all, he and the memories,” but they were thinking differently from Barbatos. They spun on their feet, suddenly facing him, who was just a few inches away from them, “...they all led me to my moon.” Their eyes were glistening, with him reflected in it. It took his breath– his words away.
“Shining through my darkest nights. Cradling me with its gentle light. Brushing off the tears from my eyes. My precious moon, who helped me remember that there’s still happiness beyond my sorrow.” They reached for his face. “Nights were supposed to be cold, yet he brings warmth instead. And you know what’s the most amusing thing?”
“In Devildom, whether it is day or night, you can see the moon in its brightest.” He never wants to assume anything, yet the way their thumb runs across his cheek so tenderly… The hope he hid with all his might, surges out wanting to be freed.
“Oh, but there is just one problem with my moon. He was so selfless, he wouldn't take me to himself.” The hand next to his cheek moved and brushed to the tip of his nose.
“Pardon?” He thought he finally sealed it away so perfectly, so why… With just a single touch…?
“I don’t wanna be single forever yet he keeps on ignoring my signs...”
“Wait, you mean…” But his promise… his vow to them...
“I still can’t say I don’t have any more feelings with Diavolo but I swear, I mean it. That’s why I’m already taking this to my hands… Hey–!” The knot within Barbatos’ heart came undone, along with the stream of tears he’s holding back due to their dreamlike words.
“Barbatos. Hey, don’t cry.”
They tried scooping his face with both hands only to stop by his own.“I’m so happy.” He placed one of their hands on his chest. It was warm, with his heart practically drumming crazily fast.
He never knew it’s possible to feel happier than the day they allowed him by their side. Incomparably so. It was at that moment he felt so… alive.
“I thought it’ll be a great gift for you.”
“This is the greatest gift I’ve ever received in my life.” He pulled their other hand and placed a tender kiss on its palm.
“I wonder if I can surpass this next time.”
“Then how about a kiss? Can I kiss you?”
“You don’t have to ask,” They took another step towards him, “I love you, my Luna.”
“I love you more, my Flora.” Barbatos sewed the space between them and soon, two breaths became one. All the words dissolved between their lips. Yet, all the emotions bottled up within poured out.
Of loneliness. Of longing. Of elation. Of attachment and inclination. With a spice of passion and devotion. All swirling together, filling the gaps in their hearts.
They parted just to converge again, like how their threads of fate crossed, unraveled and intertwined together.
The coldness of the night now utterly nonexistent within their moment, as they were embraced by the vivid rays of moonlight.

Thoughts and Reaction to ROCKETEAR!
It's a long post, but when are these ever really short? xD Seeing Carapace first made me so excited. I've been sad we haven't had much of him in the show. And then I saw that it seemed like Ladynoir was doing pretty good as they only had Carapace helping them this time. More S2 & S3 like. So I was like cool, cool, this is great. But what the heck scientist WHY ARE YOU BRINGING TYRANNOSAURUS REX'S BACK! Obviously she's going to be something big later on, she's too nicely animated not to be back. Not to mention Bob Roth's plans. Anyone else both intrigued but also scared at what that could do later? Big upcoming plot point, I think.
Tumblr media
I screamed awwww because this is everything. I've wanted a LB/Carapace and Marinette/Nino friendship bond in this show since season 1. This scene made me incredibly happy! I'm a huge Nino fan, for those that don't know, so you can imagine how much I love this episode. Even though sad Nino.
"Alya, everyone has to believe that you will never use the Miraculous again!" End of episode: So anyway... So what I'm seeing here is, Alya's not fond of the idea of being just a spy, not being in on the action. Even though it's Ladybug's plan. Chat Noir isn't fond of what's going on right now either, where he thinks what's going on is all Ladybug's plans. Alya makes the decision to not do what Ladybug wants and tells Nino she's still Rena Rouge. So what's Chat Noir going to do to go against her? Because that's coming up on the horizon. Despite everything being easier for Marinette since everything's not just on her shoulders now, she's still been unable to play video games with her dad, and we know how much she loves doing that. :c That's really sad she doesn't even have time for her family anymore. DJWifi over here being all adorable. "You don't love me anymore!" Me: *Chat Blanc flashbacks* Alya suggests her new content could be Chat Noir edits and Marinette's like YES DO THOSE. Then those edits helped push Nino into thinking she was into Chat. Big oops. Not gonna lie, the rewind freaked me out for a moment. Last time I saw that was Chat Blanc so I thought something big was up. But nope, it's just like that scene in Puppeteer 2. Ugh poor Nino! He knows something's bothering Alya, but she won't say what it is and her behavior's too off from how she normally is. Poor guy. x.x Grumpy Nino that Carapace doesn't get attention and then they wrote his girlfriend with Chat Noir. I remember when Alya was grumpy for a bit about Rena Rouge not getting a party to celebrate her. Movie Ladybug telling Movie Chat Noir that he's better with Movie Rena Rouge. Is this a reference to the episode in Avatar, The Ember Island Players? Getting strong vibes when Play Aang and Play Katara were like, we're just friends nothing more and it's great! Play Katara was extremely into Play Zuko. I can see why Ladybug dismissed the movie (or was it the previous one since it's been awhile? Maybe?) because Rena Rouge and Chat Noir???? The writers (of the movie) just wanted to be different because everyone can see Ladynoir, unless they're blind. Alya and Nino are Andre's favorite couple. YES THANK YOU. I mean they're not my favorite because Love Square. BUT they're my second favorite next to them. Those kids are super adorable but definitely that kid playing Chat wasn't doing Nino any favors. First picture Alya shows. Chat with a heart tail. Yeah that's not doing her any favors lol. Nino: UGH CHAT NOIR'S COMING IN BETWEEN ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND. I KNOW, I'LL CALL MY BEST FRIEND TO VENT TO ABOUT IT. Best Friend Chat Noir: Best Friend Chat Noir: Welp maybe I should see what's up. Maybe I went a little to hard on the cat charm and she's fallen in love with me. Me: Oh oof here we go. Also can I ask, if anyone knows, who animated this episode? The fluidity is great and it looks really pretty. But it doesn't quite look like SAMG's work either. Whoever did it, I love it. S2 Chat Noir: You're not replacing me with a turtle, are you? :c S4 Nino: Who would want a reckless turtle as a partner? BOYS STOP. But yeah this whole scene had me laughing so hard XD Very dramatic and I love it. Nino's hilarious even when he's worried and sad! I would've absolutely loved to have heard this in English with the old English voice of Nino, but the new one worries me on whether or not he'll do a good job sounding like Nino and less high-pitched and whiny. :/ New York Nino was great but S4 Nino....x.x THE TRANSITION BETWEEN HIS INNER MONOLOGUE AND SPEAKING REGULARLY AGAIN 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant! It doesn't really feel like Miraculous Ladybug this episode, and I love it. Not that I don't love the show as usual but wow this is great. Okay, I want to point out that Chat Noir
probably was more worried about it than he would've been otherwise because of what happened with Marinette in Weredad. It probably made him more cautious about this sort of thing.
Tumblr media
LOL Chat's sulking because Alya's laughing at the idea of being interested in him. 😂😂 I know that's a blow to one's ego and all, and he's dealt with this kind of thing a lot so I do feel bad for him, but that is his best friend's girlfriend and he definitely doesn't want her to like him. Alya: With him it's not just ❤️it's *makes massive hand gesture indicating she loves him deeply* SO SO SO CUTE OKAY ALL THIS DJWIFI 😭 Alya: And I don't even know your secret identity! I would never fall in love with someone I don't know. Chat Noir, literally fell in love with Ladybug, whose identity he doesn't know. Well Alya, I wonder if you saying that matters for later somehow.... o.O Nino running away crying is honestly one of the things that hurts me most in the entire show. Ugh. Adrien over here being all, I'm having a good day. I'm happy and smiling and it's great. And then it wasn't. Adrien, if Nino let him and didn't interrupt, would've told him about how Alya really doesn't love Chat Noir, and that would've seriously led up to his identity being exposed since Nino was watching and filmed them. o.o Did you notice how he was going to tell him about it? S4, the basement is where it's at. Adrien: Uhh, when did you arrange all this? Nino: *pounds fist on desk* I ASK THE QUESTIONS! 😂 So like. Why is Nino interrogating Adrien when he's after Chat Noir? He doesn't know they're the same person. XD He's looking at him like Adrien has info he's keeping or something omg.
Tumblr media
Also again this animation is so nice. Adrien, feeling uncomfortable and so turns the music off. Nino, wanting his dramatic music on while he interrogates Adrien, turns it back on. Adrien, feeling even more irritated and uncomfortable, wants the music OFF and turns it off. Nino, turns the music back on. This may be a reference to something, I don't know, but lolol it's so funny. This episode is both super hilarious and super angsty! Honestly they've done such a good job in my opinion. Nino: I'm talking about something that I shouldn't tell you! ...but I'm going to tell you anyway! Alya's Rena Rouge and I'm Carapace! Okay but the way Adrien went from shock to utter anger, knocked his chair back and grabbed Nino's shoulders like "Tell me the truth. You two know about each other?" Aw man, my poor sunshine boy. A lot of the stuff bothering Adrien is all circumstantial, none of it is to purposefully keep him in the dark. And yet from his perspective, that's how it looks. "I thought secret identities must be protected at all times! If that was the truth, you would never tell me this!" Alright so three things. If he's referring to him saying that Nino and Alya know about each other, that was situational and important info for him to know now that this is out. It wasn't important to know before this. The time it happened was dire and was really no time to get around it. If he's talking about Nino telling him the secrets, well yeah that's not supposed to happen and Nino broke that trust. But also, I get the feeling pretty strongly at this point Adrien's going to be breaking some rules too and one of which is he's going to tell Nino who he is. Adrien's being too emotional in this scene to not be involved in it all, I'm wondering if that's going to be questioned later by Nino. He's acting like he knows too much to be a random viewer of the heroes like the rest of Paris. Also Adrien's best friend just totally dissed Chat Noir and went off about how he throws himself at Ladybug whenever he sees her with roses and love confessions. 😂😂😂 This is just too funny! "But he's always rejected because Ladybug finds him annoying! And she's completely right!" Omg Nino, that's not the reason anymore, shush! "And then Rena Rouge appears and he goes *tickles under Adrien's chin* hey pretty lady! You look elegant and you have great perfume." OMG does Chat Noir actually say and do stuff like that to Rena Rouge or is he just exaggerating here XD "If I could I would shut his mouth forever!" Yeah Nino, say what you really think about your best friend in the entire world. Yikes poor Adrien though. I never imagined he'd hear all these bad things about himself from his best friend directly like that. :/ That's a major misunderstanding of him. Which kind of pushes me more towards the "he's going to tell Nino" theory. Sad Adrien transformation DDDX Alya: *explained everything about why Chat Noir went over to her house in the middle of the night* Marinette *facepalm* Ugh that Chat Noir... Well at least there will be no misunderstandings there! xD "Chat Noir, you stole Alya from me! I will steal your life from you." Good lord man calm down. You can't just kill a man! Fanon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Marinette. Canon: Chat Noir gets attacked by a guy over Alya. Time to go back to the basement! lol Nino's music's still playing xD And the video is left with it paused on Chat Noir hugging Alya. Marinette looked a bit sad, but it was probably more about the situation being a mess rather than being sad he'd hug her. Meanwhile, Chat Noir's fighting Nino and would rather get beaten up by him than fight. x.x "I can't believe that I doubted you." "I can't believe I chose to do anything but be with you!" She wiped away akumatized Nino's tear just like how Ladybug wiped away akumatized Chat Noir's. ALL THE PARALLELS 😭😭😭 But that hug is so sweet!! Nino broke off the akumatization just like Alya did :o Dang, I wonder if that means something later too. "Love and secrets do not go well together, Ladybug. And I'm sure you have a lot of
them!" Secrets = from Chat Noir. Love = for Chat Noir. Yeah even Shadow Moth knows at this point. xP Thanks for that foreshadowing. Nino's charm is my favorite charm so far! It's my favorite shade of blue. Chat Noir: Everybody has doubts sometimes...even me." Ladybug: Is everything okay, Chat Noir? Chat: Oh yes...pound it!
Tumblr media
So um. The placemet of Adrien's poster in between Chat Noir, Ladybug, and just with this entire situation feels very strange. Very intentional. But no clue exactly what that could mean..... Nino and Alya are happy over there watching those two, like they're waiting for them to figure things out or something. But really, Adrien should've talked to Ladybug when he could still do so calmly and be reasonable. I doubt that's going to be the case later on. And honestly Ladybug doesn't even know what's going on. Every episode we've seen really either has them working together or she's unable to be Ladybug when he's unable to be Chat Noir most of the time. I've said it before but these two really need to communicate. Nino and Alya are like a less adorably romantic version of what they'd be. "But they're a couple and they know their secret identities, so why does that rule exist for us but they can know?" Very simple. Because they were temporary holders and the Miraculous they had, Hawk Moth hasn't made it his life's mission to obtain, unlike them, who are permanent holders and Hawk Moth's been after them fiercely to make a Wish that could destroy everything. But. The fact he's asking this, and Marinette's Chat Blanc nightmare, really points in the direction that he's going to eventually find out that while she's thought about telling him all along, Chat Blanc's kept her from doing so.
Tumblr media
Okay, so while it looks like he's staring up at the moon, if you notice, it really is just one of the pink bubbles.
Tumblr media
Now, they could be making it seem like it's the moon though to give it a double meaning. But poor Kitty, he's feeling so awful right now over in that dark corner Dx Nino felt bad for only two episodes? and it got resolved, so hopefully this all won't last too much longer for him! Marinette had a few shaky episodes so hopefully he'll have a few before it gets resolved. But somehow I think that may be wishful thinking. This episode was so amazing, honestly. Wonderful writing, made me laugh a lot, aw a lot, and hurt a lot. It focused on the core 4 characters which I've wanted more of for a long time. The animation was beautiful. And it just felt so different in such a good way. Chat Noir's having a hard time right now, and I know there's a lot of anger and hate about it going around. But please, think of this as him hitting a rough spot in the road to a much better and brighter future. He's going to end up okay, he'll understand it all someday. And that day's honestly not that far for him if you think about it.

On kiribaku becoming canon and their evidence:
So I posted this on reddit earlier, but wanted to have it here where more KRBK shippers are, since I just ended up compiling a lot more than I thought I would.
Fair warning: A pretty big text with a compilation of kiribaku moments ahead.
We would all love kiribaku being canon, and I think it's not as much of a longshot as some may lead you to believe.
Honestly, if one of them was a girl, this would most certainly be canon, like, just in the anime we have:
Them becoming friends slowly in the background, leaving us with good development between them that is so seamless it can hit you hard once you notice how close they've become if you hadn't noticed before.
Them arriving and leaving the pool together while walking in the sunset.
They support and compliment each other (both on personality and quirks, like come on).
Kirishima can just lean on Bakugou or side hug him all the time and Bakugou lets him with no problem, which considering who we're talking about is a pretty big thing.
Kirishima can seem even more agitated than Deku about Bakugou being taken, and Deku is the one who idolized him since childhood.
The whole "It has to be you" thing and the precious hand holding (including that little scene after the rescue, where Kiri tries to grab Baku's hand again).
Tumblr media
Kirishima bought expensive night vision googles in case they were useful for the rescue even though they had Yaomomo with them (this boy goes through extremes just to ensure his boyfriend's best friend's safety)
Kirishima is officially the one Bakugou considers an equal, and considering his conflicting inferiority and superiority complexes (making him perpetually place people as above him or beneath him) is vital information.
Kirishima is esentially Bakugou's first real friend (as Deku was considered more of an incomprehensible nuisance and his childhood troop seemed more like his followers who just put him up on a pedestal and followed what he did).
Kirishima has jumped in front of danger for Bakugou's sake quite a bit of times (including a time in the movie).
Kirishima is a central piece in Bakugou's character development.
Bakugou was the one who told Kirishima he was strong and gave him his confidence back, reminding him of what he said at the start of their friendship.
Kirishima unlocked fucking UNBREAKABLE because of Bakugou's encouragement.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Going to extra stuff:
Bakugou's favourite hobbie is hiking, and we're shown he takes Kirishima with him sometimes, thing he doesn't seem to do with other characters.
Tumblr media
The whole festival thing, with the narrator outright assuming Bakugou must have given his coat to a pretty girl who was cold, only for it to be revealed in another picture that he gave it to Kirishima because as usual, he didn't have a shirt on.
On the movie Bakugou could have taken anyone to I-Island and took Kirishima as his plus one. They share a room. Kirishima bought suits for both of them, with the most detailed one with white roses being for Bakugou, and they decide to go to the party together.
In a BNHA Smash connected directly to the movie, Midoriya notices the white roses in Bakugou's suit and notes that they mean deep respect and "I'm the one for you", which prompts Bakugou to send an explosion his way (not to Kirishima who gave him the suit, mind you), which makes the flowers turn red (from blood), after which Mineta appears to say that red roses mean "beautiful and passionate love".
Tumblr media
They are usually seen together in merch stuff.
There's this tumblr post talking about japanese fan's reactions to one of Horikoshi's drawings which I find at least hilarious:
https://exbrodokills.tumblr.com/post/187710597637/here-it-is
There are discussions regarding Kirishima's character sheet and the translation of him liking "tough guys" (here's a podt by aitaikimochi explaining the meaning of the translation: https://www.google.com/amp/s/aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/171127708911/amp) where even translator such as aitaikimochi have gotten into, and they have mentioned that there's a japanese stereotype of a type of gay guy who is obsessed with "manly behaviour" and usually stay away from women, prefering tough guys instead, which is interesting to say the least.
Tumblr media
Some of the light novel episodes which show more slice of life moment feature some good kiribaku moments, with a prominent one being this one wich details their study date (it seriously seems like fan fiction, not even kidding, and this is supposed to be sort of canon):
https://www.google.com/amp/s/aitaikimochi.tumblr.com/post/171236111166/amp
Also there's a chapter where Kirishima tells Fatgum about Bakugou being extremely happy, and another one where they are arm wrestling between classes and they cheer for one another heavily.
(Honesly, just go through aitaikimochi's whole kiribaku tag, there are some pretty interesting things there)
Here are some analysis on their possible coding, if you guys are interested:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dxO6Y0yK_wxOJDmRsBYvsVWKwsH7tKc92skxJ--R1m4/edit?usp=drivesdk
(Bakugou's one link can be found at the end of that one)
And in BNHA Smash, there are quite a lot of things, and we must not forget that the whole thing still gets approved by Horikoshi before being published, some of my favourite things are:
Kirishima inviting Bakugou to spend christmas together, with the translators noting christmas in Japan to be a romantic holiday in the same panel.
Tumblr media
In one issue, Jirou falls for Kiri and him being oblivious just leaves her for Bakugou.
Once Bakugou becomes a shoujo boy after being his with a quirk and just involuntarily talks in flirt, and in one moment Kirishima outright flirts back.
Tumblr media
Bakugou works his ass off to repay Kirishima for the night vision googles they used in the rescue.
Kirishima is literally described as the chicken soup for Bakugou's soul!
Tumblr media
An interesting thing I found out is that in the chapter where all of 1A minus Bakugou turn into animals, one scene originally had Kirishima (as a dog) getting jealous of Kaminari and Midoriya petting Tsuyu (as a cat - yes I know, a cat) and giving all their attention to her, however, Horikoshi himself changed that scene, noting he didn't think their character relations worked well in that scene, and made it so that the one that ended up in smash contains Kirishima (as a dog) getting jealous because Todoroki (as a koala) has climbed up Bakugou's torso and won't let go. I saw this all in a tumblr post a few months ago, which showed the original scene in a book (I think it was in italian and was translates below) but I can't currently find the link, sorry, if someone finds it, It'd be appreciated if you could reblog with said link.
And in regards to meta stuff, the show already has some LGBT characters in it, with Magne and Tiger being trans and Toga being bisexual, so it's not as much of a lost cause to hope for this as it would initially seem.
(Please kirimina shippers, don't take offence because of this, it isn't my intention to insult your ship, I simply want to analize what has been given to us, so please try to take this lightly):
We should also take into consideration Krishima's first version in the sort of "beta" for the manga (where Midoriya was Yamikumo).
Tumblr media
His character sheet mentions he's quite the delinquent and entered UA to impress a girl. Obviously his character evolved tremendously since then, but the girl was most probably intended to be Mina's equivalent. This was later changed to him liking "tough guys"/"hard liners" and his thing with Mina became more of an "I admired your bravery and heroic spirit when in middle school even if I hardly knew you", later seeing each other and establishing more of a little friendship. However, it hasn't really moved further from there, and Kirishima has already established much stronger bonds with our favourite exploding boy. All changes in characters are made for a reason, and Horikoshi clearly changed his mind on Kirishima's motives for wanting to be a hero and his relationship with Mina.
So yeah, all in all, this ship is great, it's precious, adorable, helps both characters grow, is balanced and has good chemistry. So even if after all these things they don't become officially canon, we still have so much canon material for them in the present I'd honestly still be happy, these dorks make me smile and melt my heart, so I hope they both have good endings.

Things that made watching Transformers (2007) easier and even enjoyable:
[note: B'verse gets the treatment that it gets by fandom for good reasons. There are tons of posts that dissect the bullshit of these movies far better than my second-language-english-non-american self could ever tackle, so I am not doing that, or plan on doing that. But if I decide that I'll get through every continuity of the franchise I will find a way to make it fun for myself. And so, this is my search for golden nuggets in these movies, because they did bring in new fans to the franchise and that's why we have other continuities that we might not have otherwise. Credit where it's due, and some positivity for those that did find B'verse at least amusing if nothing else. ]
🍴🥄🔪🍴🥄🔪🍴🥄🔪🍴🥄🔪🥄🔪🍴🥄🔪
Frenzy
Anytime Frenzy was on screen made me smile because his movements and personality were hilarious, he is just so expressive despite looking like someone super glued a bunch of knifes together. I wouldn't know it was Frenzy if I didn't go to the Wiki, but no matter that, he was funny and that's what matters.
Tumblr media
The original Cybertronian robot modes
We don't see them for long, but the glimpses were glorious. Just look at Optimus
Tumblr media
Gorgeous. What I wouldn't give to see the details up close. Maybe I'll go looking eventually, but this is just so nice.
We also get a "sexily rises from the pool" scene with Ironhide (probably unintentional and I am biased due to being a robofucker. In any case, very very nice and Cybertronians look so good as aliens)
"Excuse me, are you the Tooth Fairy?"
You see this kid?
Tumblr media
This little girl was the only human I cared about in the movie until I saw just how badass Mikaela is, and how cool the military dude is. I don't like kids, but I would lay down my life for this girl.
This one scene just makes me think of what would happen if her parents showed up way earlier. Ironhide would be her guardian and it would be both adorable and hilarious because "Honey, you have to drive in a sentient alien that looks just like our car because the goverment men said so or there will be consequences and potential alien threats."
There are so many joke potentials there; the cultural barrier, the "I am the ine that is supposed to keep her safe" glaring contests, there is just so much shenanigans that could happen.
Also, tea party with the kid. Tea party with the kid.
Sam Witwicky actually reacts like an average human would when faced with the situations he finds himself in
Do I like Sam Witwicky? No, he is the kind of character that I would want to punch irl because of his personality and actions. He is disgusting. But watching him scamper and scream and stutter when faced with giant metal robot aliens that can squish him like a bug? Good, that was a beliavable reaction and I enjoyed it a great deal.
Megatron. Just, ✨Megatron✨
Tumblr media
(the best screenshot of the few I could take while watching, no, I am not going back for a better one, he looks perfect like this)
I also laughted at how they kept him frozen like a popsicle. And not even well, like, they COULD'VE made an actual freezer and pop him in instead of using those couple of tubes just so he was displayed for all personell to gawk at. HE CRASHED IN THE ANTARCTIC!
The design looks so good, because it looks ALIEN and POINTY and AGH!!! The colors? There are no colors that would make him stand out, he looks like someone opened a cutlery drawer, mixed up what's inside, threw in some extra knifes for a good measure and then shook the whole thing until this guy materialized from the pile. It is both incredibly annoying and satisfying.
🔪
Mr. Welker did an amazing job with his voice, I don't know what the directions were, but oh man it sure sent shivers down my spine. That is the kind of voice that spells "You are going to die" and I already have my coffin picked out.
EDIT: SO APPARENTLY! IT WAS NOT WELKER THAT VOICED MEGATRON.
Tumblr media
It was Hugo Weaving, and yes the man did am amazing job, but I apologize a million times, I was CERTAIN that THE OG VA OF MEGATRON WOULD ALSO HAVE VOICED MEGATRON. LIKE, OKAY BAY, OKAY!
🔪
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF ICE! With how quick he came back fully online once Frenzy turned off the freeze liquid tubes, I bet he was half awake through the whole thing. Systems just below idling or something, in any case, AGENTS YOU ARE SO DUMB! WHO WAS GIVING SUBPAR FUNDING TO THEM, THEY BETTER BE FIRED!
I also was glad that Sam refused to call him by the name the sector asigned to him, despite Megatron being in stasis. And that he insisted they use the correct name. Good job Sam, acknowledge the threat by the actual name and show respect to a fellow sentient lifeform. Even though said lifeform is hellbent on destruction of the universe and your world.
ALSO, AND I CANNOT STRESS THE LAUGHTER AND AMUSEMENT HERE; the sheer DISRESPECT! They don't disassemble Megatron's corpse. No, these idiots, these absolute morons decide to dump him into the ocean, letting him sink to the lowest possible point (not sure if they did say it was the M' Trench or not), where there are proper freezing temperatures - good! You're learning, good job!! - just... In full. Full corpse. What's left of him. Just blup! Down with the fishies he goes!
I understand that they probably didn't know how to approach Optimus about it, but... At least behead the guy. He came back ONCE, who is to say he won't come back again?! Safety precautions my dears.
They also completely disregard what a giant extraterrestrial metal alien rusting away on the bottom of the ocean could do to the ecosystem at large. Like, I find this incredibly amusing, because this ISN'T something most folks think about when watching a movie but we have giant squids down there. We have so much weird things down there, the ocean isn't even fully explored AND YOU WANT TO CHUCK AN ALIEN CORPSE DOWN THERE?!
Now the real question: is he a looker? *looks at the pictures* hmmmm, depends on if you like knifes. Like, really like knifes. Like really, really REALLY want to get it on with a fine assembly of kitchen knifes that were exposed to the elements but somehow haven't rusted away completely.
I think he's neat.
Needs a good long powerwash though. Preferrably with something to help the whole "I was frozen for more than 50 years and sprang back to action as soon as I woke up" thing that happened.
My man needs to take a moment and get his bearings, like dude. Please. You can conquer the world after some energon and slow system boot-up period. The strain on the systems my dude, you ain't young.
Also love that this "death" was probably reused in TFP because lord golly, do we love our faves ending up under the sea. (Though Megan took a much bigger fall, Bayverse WAS PLOPPED INTO THE WATER LIKE A NEWLY ACQUIRED FISH I CAN'T YOU GUYS I CAN'T!)
In short: I love the comedy of american military giving such disrespect to an Alien Warlord. These guys are really sealing their fate.
I loved the way they got the Witwicky family to be important to the plot
Tumblr media
The whole "selling my great great grandpa's glasses on e-bay" thing gives us a very good self insert/OC/rewrite/movie AU potential. Don't like Sam and his disgustingness? Find a way to write a cousin or some far off relative or hell, even just someone who buys the glasses off e-bay and go wild with it!
Archibald was also clearly an inspiration for Isaac Sumdac as far as I can tell, what with both of them using Megatron as a means of helping technology advance.
Tumblr media
Only difference being one of them lived and actually talked to Megatron after he came back online and the other got driven to madness and death due to the amount of information beamed into his brain. Isaac also acquired a space baby daughter, so the guy is absolutely luckier of the two.
Mikaela being fucking competent and badass throughout the movie, and not being just fanservice eyecandy
I could do without the fanservice, but her personality? I loved it. I loved that she wasn't crawling to Sam and wasn't being "hard to get". Which is also why I was very displeased at the very sudden "oh yeah, romance! She returns his feelings after he took her for a ride and let her vent her frustrations!". The movie is 2 hours long and they could throw in some moments where these two connect?
Welp, it is an action movie, boy gets girl no matter what, can't complain about the staple in the genre.
However, Mikaela x Optimus? Now THAT is something I considered as soon as the two locked eyes and interacted. Like, even taking my shipping goggles off, these two could have a very interesting dynamic and Mikaela could be a very good protagonist. I wonder what the movie would be like with her as the lead and Sam being the fucking moron she has to drag along with her.
BUT ALSO! Can we talk about the horrible, excruciating fact that her and Bumblebee drove around with Bee's damaged legs dragging over asphalt all the time he was shooting at 'Cons? There were sparks flying! SHE WAS DRIVING BACKWARDS! She took command of the situation and did what she could because Bee still wanted TO FIGHT!
Also, they way she beat up Frenzy? Gorgeous, I want to slap Sam's non-existent balls off for not atleast saying "thanks". The dude would be sliced thinner than cabbage if she wasn't there.
The millitary man we are supposed to care about because his wife gave birth while he was on duty and we see his baby three times in the whole movie, actually being a pretty awesome and well-written character
Look, personally, I was a little confused at the reason why we were seeing his wife and baby interacting/the scene where she thinks her husband is dead. Mostly because I don't like kids, so scenes like that, when I don't even know who the character is, have no impact at all. Him having a baby isn't going to make me like the guy more, unless I know his character. Him being absent because he's on duty doesn't mean he'll be a good dad (though he looks like the kind of man that will try his best, and I like that in a man). So seeing his wife and kid at the start of the movie seemed pointless to me.
BUT! FOCUSING ON THE POSITIVES HERE!
Lennox is a good character and whenever he was on screen I was invested in what is going to happen to him. He's the kind of action movie lead that would have me invested, despite my meh interest in mainly gun fight oriented action movies.
Essentially, loved the guy, would love to see more of him while also being able to tell what's happening on screen. Also the comedy scenes he was in were usually funny.
~
Okay so these are the things I like about the first movie! It was very long, had to watch it on 2,5x speed because it simultainously dragged while ALSO giving me too much information, but the moments like these and the way my imagination latched onto characters I liked made it watchable. It isn't a movie I'd use to introduce someone to the TF franchise, but it provided me with lots of material for my imagination to run wild.

شكرا..
Even between the constant nudging feelings of being unable to create something relatable, to be noticed, or understood. The silence, the diminishing digital numbers, and the constant wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it simple life effects, fall out of interest, vague differentiation of cultures and shifting tides. Being out of luck, or the faint wrestle of fandom-ic opinions, moods and sides. And between my reality at home, being told on daily basis with colorful variety that my art isn't feeding me as such, its not important, and my efforts are stupidly wasted.
I am thankful
For those special ones who I met and left me a memory to revisit, brief our encounters were or graciouslly still flourishing, I'm grateful for the time and every word and support you've bestowed upon me, allowing me to treat myself and remain connected to my only window to the world and haven- online. When I could, I have saved in treasuring manner your messages and reread under the blanket of white noise, almost unconsciously and tirelessly running my sight across the lines, for being such wonderful spiritual excursion I could hardly believe I'm deserving of and can't get enough of. And grateful for those who follow my trail silently and faithfully with every new burst of randomness that leaves me, and welcoming those who came to company my wavering drawing journey, even if my words don't reach you
Used to having the concept of time as meaningless almost my entire life, but now dears came to inhabited its space, I couldn't help but count every second. Three years now amongst you, witnessing humanity I've never tasted before, grateful for to have the fortune of it happening in my life
Loving to mention personally who comes to mind at the moment, regretting who I'm forgetting already (im sorry

| Boyfriend Q&A
| Johnny Suh x reader
You let out a frustrated sigh when the camera failed to focus again. You were of course recording the process for bloopers. Your subscribers loved the bloopers the most. You could say your following on youtube was big. 900k subscribers and they were all demanding to know your boyfriend.
Your boyfriend was none other than Johnny Suh of NCT. Your subscribers and Nctizens clicked instantly and they loved your relationship with Johnny. They wanted more content from you two.
" UGhhh it's not focusing i'm going to break it." Johnny let out a laugh at your struggling. You glared daggers at your giggling boyfriend. " Johnny Suh, stop laughing and help me." He kept laughing but still helped you.
Once the camera was focused you smiled at it. " Hello everyone! If you don't know me I'm y/n and this is my channel, todays video has been highly...and i mean highly requested." You smiled and did a drum roll. " Today I'm doing a Q&A with my boyfriend." You cheered.
Johnny laughed off camera at your excitement. " Johnny that was when you were supposed to enter the frame." Johnny laughed but took a seat next to you. He smiled and waved at the camera. " Go on introduce yourself." You nudged him with your shoulder. " I'm Johnny." You started giggling remembering that video of him and Mark. " Why are you laughing?" He asked. " I'm Johnny." You copied Mark from the video causing Johnny to roll his eyes.
" Okay anyways, y/n asked you to send in questions on twitter and there were tons of them." Johhny took control of the video seeing as you were too consumed in giggles to speak. Once you calmed down you pulled out your phone and the questions you saved.
" Okay, first question how did you guys meet?" You read the question and turned towards Johnny. " We met at Target when they were hiding from Doyoung, he was calling them and looked panicked so I offered to help find them." You explained. Johnny nodded.
" Yeah when that episode of Johnny's Communication Center came out we had to blur her face because we weren't to sure if we could film her, but when we weren't recording we exchanged phone numbers because at first she wanted to be Doyoung's friend. She had no idea who we were." Johnny explained.
" I still can't believe you hid from Doyoung, he looked so lost." You said. Johnny grabed your phone to find another question. " Who asked who out?" He read smirking at you. " Oh gosh, he asked me out and I thought he was joking, because I have a huge fear of rejection but I had a huge crush on him."
As you looked through the questions Johnny was telling a story about when you stole Mark's watermelon without knowing it was his. You jumped into the conversation. " I told him I was sorry so many times and I still feel bad and that was like a year ago." You frowned.
" Anyways this question is my favorite, y/n who is your bias in NCT?" Johnny smirked and looked at you. " that's simple, it's Jungwoo." You said. Johnny's face lost it's smirk and a look of fake hurt crossed his features. " really? I'm hurt." You shrugged your shoulders. " I'm so sorry." You laughed.
Johnny crossed his arms. " No nope I'm not talking to you." You rolled your eyes then went to the next question. " What's your favorite thing to do with each other?" You read the question.
Johnny was keeping up his moody act so you sighed and turned the the camera sporting a 'really' face. " Well I really enjoy our nights in, when we can do a nice face mask and catch up on some dramas." You answered smiling.
Johnny turned towards you. " I really enjoy everything we do together seeing as we don't always get time together, so any chance we get to do something I love it." Your face was a bright pink from blushing.
" That's really sweet, I couldn't agree more I love you." You whispered the last part. He smiled. " I love you." He whispered back.
" Okay we are gonna do a few more questions because Johnny wants coffee and is being impatient." You giggled. " I am not. They just close soon." He defended himself.
" Will y/n be on a Johnny's Communication Center?" Johhny read. He shrugged. " Maybe but i'm not sure." " I technically was in one but I was blurred out after I helped Doyoung." You laughed. Johnny nodded. " Yeah Doyoung is like y/n's baby now we can't tease him around her. Or he'll tell on us." Johnny laughed. " Sometimes I help but most of the time it's hilarious, but don't ever tease my baby Jungwoo or it's on sight." You laughed.
" I tought I was your baby?" Johnny asked. You laughed. " Your my number one." He smiled. " Next question." You said.
After you and Johnny answered more questions and told some stories it was time to wrap up the video. You clapped your hands together and smiled.
" Okay guys, that's all the questions we have for today, hopefully you got to understand our relationship a little better. We are going to hopefully make more videos for you guys soon, so subscribe and of course like the video and I just want to thank you guys for being so kind and supportive of Johnny and I's relationship." You smiled when Johnny laced his fingers with yours.
" Yeah it means a lot to us guys, so thank you and we'll see you soon in the next video." You smiled hearing Johnny do your outro. You and Johnny waved to the camera as you shouted goodbyes.
You added some cute couple clips into the video that you haven't shared before.
One was of you and Johnny on a coffee date and recording him ordering for you two. " You remembered my order?" You asked happily behind the camera. " I remeber everything you tell me."
Another one was of the time Johnny took you to meet his parents. This time he was filming you and his Mom cooking. " My own Mom ditched me to spend time with you. I'm hurt." You and his Mom laughed. " She's more than welcome to visit with or without you." You and his Mom laughed at his fake hurt expression and he turned the camera to his face and shook his head.
The last clip was you two just laying on the couch while a drama played in the background. You had the camera recording both of you. Johnny's head was rested on your chest and one of your hands played with his hair. " I love you." Johnny said. You smiled. " I love you too."
.....
When you posted the video the fans were more than excited to share and make edits of it. There was of course memes made. The over all response to the video was positive and loving.
You were scrolling through twitter laughing at the memes and replying to people when Johnny came out of the bathroom. " What are you up too?" He asked laying next to you on your bed.
" The fans, they loved our video." You showed him a few memes and responses getting him to laugh as well.
You turned off your phone and got settled in bed and Johnny followed after getting comfortable. His head was resting on your stomach while you played with his still damp hair. The new avengers movie was playing but Johnny couldn't pay attention. His mind was at peace during this relaxing moment with you.
" I love you." You said knowing he was about to fall alseep. " I love you." He said barely above a whisper before his breathing evened out. You took a picture and uploaded to twitter simply saying, " I love You." After that you turned your phone off and went to sleep as well.
Tumblr media
i binged Johnny's Communication Center and then got this idea!

hope you enjoyed-Echo❤❤

BANANA FISH REVIEW - Part 7, Vol. 1
Edit: Reposting because I posted this without pictures????
Tumblr media
I blame my internet.
Welcome to my in-depth gushing review of Banana Fish! If you want Part 1, See here:
https://imagine-fight-write.tumblr.com/post/626474762734092288/random-banana-fish-review-vol-1-part-1
Also I apologize. I thought I was going to post this last weekend but work happened. And then I was *kidnapped
Tumblr media
*Not actually kidnapped, that was a joke. (Maybe I shouldn't use that as a joke.) I was just helping family members.
to help load up junk and take it home & then unload it. By the time I was done I was so exhausted & dirty, I seriously didn't want to do anything else for the little rest of the day that was left.
Tumblr media
Supposedly it was expensive junk, but it looked old & rusted to me. Idk.
And then I got a really bad sinus infection (had to go to the doc & everything) & work has basically eaten up all my time.
And I'm bound & determined to finish writing a novel this year!
But that doesn't matter, because
I am so excited everyone!
Tumblr media
Today we meet Eiji & Ibe!
Tumblr media
#Eiji has the best fashion sense. Look at that jacket.
#I want it
There's also not a lot of singular gifs of him. Disappointment!
Tumblr media
And there's almost no gifs of Ibe! This is probably the best one.
#I am mad Ibe is a great character!
And maybe we'll meet Max too, depending on how far I get.
Here is my favorite gif of Max. I have no idea what's going on, but I am intrigued! Also, Ash in the nurse's outfit makes me laugh every time.
Tumblr media
Max & Ibe are the best partners in crime / not dad's to Ash & Eiji. I love them so much. They are just the best.
Tumblr media
#LOL, no. I'm going to guess Ash has to save them. They try so hard but Ash is a femme fatale Rambo with all the enemies.
#actually mostly just Dino, who is the worst
*Ash & Eiji are the best too, but they obviously get more love & attention being, you know, the main characters. So I just want to point out how amazing Max & Ibe are.
Also, I'm not sure if Ibe has kids of his own (?), but we the readers know Max does. But it doesn't matter. They are the best dads.
Slight recap: Um . . .
Ash & Mr. Merridth (the no longer a doctor guy) have a hilarious, sick burns conversation, Dino is the murdering worst #like always (and is carving a wooden duck) # I have an entire post, & the autopsy Black guy, Gordon, at the end is hillarious.
Also, maybe I mentioned Ash laying down the law with his gang & showing how great a shot he is. Which is important & will come up later. Multiple times.
Tumblr media
Now on to Part 7! (The lucky number.)
So, top of pg.72, the detectives, cops, inspectors, ???
Tumblr media
er, whatever they are ---
#i pay attention so well
are talking. The Chief mentions Jerry Watts, that politician guy waayyy back in the 1st part, who murdered his bodyguard & then slashed his own throat. Whose death will be called a suicide (even though it clearly isn't.)
The Chief also mentions the "guests coming from Japan".
Tumblr media
#this is one of the 1st gifs to pop up when I typed in "japan".
#imagine if everyone in this story was a lady or a girl, but otherwise be the same person - how would the story change? stay the same?
#Dino as a lady mob boss - go!
#I wrote that story
Anyway.
Charlie will go pick them up. He's also going to see Lobo. Max Lobo.
Max was sparingly mentioned way back on pg. 23, where Charlie mentions Max wrote a letter & can't come to see their Japanese guests Max invited because reasons (it's hilarious).
I'll correct myself later if I'm wrong, but Max is a work associate to Charlie & co. I think???
Tumblr media
They might also just be friends, but I'm not sure.
#friends for the win
Tumblr media
Also, am I the only one who thinks it's weird that Charlie refers to him by his last name? Just me? I mean, Max Lobo is a cool name, but still.
Anyway, we learn Max's life is sucking at the moment, since he's currently going through a divorce & custody battle for their kid.
In the 80s. Ouch.
Tumblr media
And finally, we have a wonderful joke at the bottom of the page.
Inspector Bronson, to Charlie, "Isn't it about time you settled down? How about that girl in the bodega? I think she's got a thing for you."
Charlie, "Inspector, that's a man."
*Bodega is a small, street corner convince store, by the way. I had to look that up.
Tumblr media
#it's not probably not this gif, but I don't care it's cozy
Bodega also a beautiful sounding word.
#though I'm probably pronouncing it wrong in my head
And on pg. 173 we meet Ibe & Eiji!!!!
Tumblr media
I loved how the translation conveyed they were speaking Japanese by a string of untranslated Japanese kanji (??? I think?) followed by a carrot symbol < > when they speak, as opposed to a regular dialogue bubble when they speak English.
And (later) Ibe's nervousness is indicated not only in his expression, actions, & sweat beads but also how he meshes Japanese and English together. I love it.
There's a great dialog exchange:
Eiji, "Look at all the tourists."
Ibe, "Well, I guess we're two more."
Charlie appears (his face, top of pg 74, is kinda scary).
To his question, Ibe verifies he's Ibe, while thinking "Am I being mugged?" while Eiji wonders, "Is everyone blonde here?" which is hilarious.
Tumblr media
We discover Eiji understands English really well (and probably better than Ibe) before Ibe asks the $10000 question:
"Where's Mr. Lobo?"
And Charlie's like, uh, well, Max is in jail.
Tumblr media
Which is hilarious to me. For some reason.
#and guess why he's in prison?
Also Ibe & Eiji's reactions are priceless & exactly what mine would be if I went to an entirely different country, only to discover my contact was in jail.
We then cut to Charlie visiting Max in jail.
#because what are chapters
#no seriously, Banana Fish doesn't have chapters
Max seems to be doing alright. Considering what happens later, I speculate it's either
A) Bravado
B) True, because he has contacts & such, or
C) He's also a Vietnam vet, & if Rambo taught me anything, it's that you don't mess with them / mess with them to your peril.
Tumblr media
Max has such great lines. In response to learning Inspector Jenkins having diabetes, he goes,
"Still, he's an inspiration to us all. Only man to drink the station's coffee black and live."
Tumblr media
He also gives this wisdom to Charlie,
"Don't ever get married, Charlie. And if you ever do get married, for God's sake, don't get divorced."
We learn Charlie's in the can because he punched a cop. And he's talking to a cop, who he's clearly friends with. I love how Banana Fish always pokes at both sides of an issue.
Anyway, Max gets down to brass tacks. He's got an article for Charlie to read, by an Army Intelligence officer, Steven Johnson.
#guess who he is
He mentions banana fish & Charlie asks about it. I love the contrast between Charlie asking about it in the middle panel of pg. 78, contrasted with Max silhouetted in all black and grim. Max quotes the article,
"It remains unclear whether banana fish signified an individual person or an organization, but in either case it is believed to refer to those involved with a particular narcotics route active throughout the Mekong Delta region."
And it gets better. Because Charlie asks why Max is interested in all this. Max reveals he was in the same unit as Griffin.
Ash's brother. Who went crazy & killed everyone except Max & the sergeant.
And Max reveals Griffin said something to him after he finished shooting.
"I saw banana fish."
Tumblr media
Duh duh duh!
#what is it??????
So naturally Max is curious about this "banana fish" mentioned in the article. Steven Johnson says he's going to start investigating it based on a lead he found in Los Angeles he found this year & once he gets out of jail, Max is going to chat him up.
Except Charlie looks at his profile & says,
"No, you're not going to talk to this guy."
Max, "Why the hell not, Charlie?"
Tumblr media
His expression is great, (bottom of pg. 81) so is the flare of light and dark in the panel with Charlie's response:
"Because I saw him dead this morning."
Tumblr media
Duh duh duh!
#the kitten is so cute I had to use it twice
So! We have learned so many things! Max was in the same unit Griffin was & was there when he went "crazy." Max is curious about banana fish.
And the banana fish guy Ash found in the beginning, which started this whole thing, is Steven Johnson, who'd been investigating banana fish before Dino sent Ash's (former) gang members to kill him.
But this only leads to more questions. How is Dino involved? What does he plan to use it for if all it does is make people go crazy? Why is banana fish showing up now, 12 years after the incident with Griffin?
I'm going to end here, because this post is super long. I want to point out before I go something I missed the 1st time I read this, which is Charlie became a cop specifically to counter all the awfulness brought about by drug use.
Max also has this great line, pg.79,
"It seemed like the country was drowning in dope. And a lot of it was cut with God knows what - people going to the hospital, the psych war, or just right into the body bag."
Akimi Yoshida's #the author's stance on this is clear. And intense.
Remember as always, this was written during the 80s, when this story is set. I find this snap shot fascinating.
Until next time, hope you have a marvelous day!
Tumblr media
#yes I like cats, why do you ask?

The ugly side of modelling...
I can never tell you what triggers my depression or these dark moods that come over me sometimes, it can be an intrusive thought that pops into my head at an inopportune moment or just the sight of seeing a name of someone on Facebook or Instagram. Today was one of THOSE days in which I just felt like I've been duped, used and was basically triggered to self harm. I did a photoshoot about two weeks ago in which I did my own hair, the makeup artist showed up late for the shoot and had a terrible attitude on her, when she did eventually arrive. I was curling my hair and even though I'd finished using the curling tongs I left them on the table to cool down, they stay hot for ages so I turned to her and said "be careful you don't knock those, I've turned them off but they are still hot." She snapped back with "I know that I'm not retarded!" Wow. Just. Wow. Incredibly rude. I felt like walking out at that point but the photographer is a really lovely guy so I didn't want to let him down. She spent the entire shoot in the next room smoking, never once offered to help with equipment (I had to call her in a few times... but she never willingly offered) I was helping the photographer get the lights ready as well as modelling. Upon leaving I discovered the photographer had PAID this makeup artist, I was working for free! I looked on Instagram today and just saw red. That's it, I don't want to do this anymore. I worked with a photographer last year and had to wait four months for the pictures, The same guy did a shoot with a model today and had the pictures edited and posted online probably hours after the shoot. I didn't want to see this today... I guess I'm too old or maybe not good enough anymore... that's ok. I've been pestered by photographers wanting to work with me but when the subject of money comes up it's always a tricky one.
Tumblr media
Photographers are always going to be looking for models who will work for free and that's ok, the industry is full of young women who actually have a real shot of being successful and getting paid work but first they must do TFP (trade for print) work for free and get their portfolios built up. There's nothing wrong with that. I've been there myself. However, in exchange for trade comes print... so in exchange to contorting my body into weird positions and holding still I require, not money but the pictures I posed for. Not a crazy request or a diva demand. Just the pictures.
Tumblr media
I've taken some great photos recently and they've been selfies. Still, my confidence is at an all time low. I feel, not ugly but stupid and naive... no amount of soft lighting or makeup can make a person make smarter choices in life. Models, Actors and other people who work in the industry can get called trouble makers or divas and I find it absolutely hilarious that there's so many rules now about "pay gaps" in our society and yet some people still think that certain occupations should be paid and others not. So many people call themselves feminists but they don't believe in equality.
Tumblr media
I started modelling when I was seventeen, I returned to modelling in 2016 after going through a bad break up with my partner who I'd been with for three years. I was never allowed to post selfies when I was with him cause he'd get jealous when other men would comment on them. Now, I could post nudes and lingerie and post, I did. For me it was empowering, it made me feel so beautiful and strong. It does, until the next day when you can't get out of bed you are in so much pain, your legs ache from walking in high heels, the concentration from posing a certain way. Mentally and physically drained. You pay for your own hair and make-up to be done and that costs money, oh and travelling to the shoot. After doing several TFP shoots you are out £100s of pounds, the photographer who took your pictures will get paid work from the photos he took of you. Someone will see them and he'll be offered another job, you'll post your pictures and you'll get offered more TFP shoots more people wanting you to work for them and you won't get a penny for it... you'll have to pay a makeup artist and hairdresser and travel and be out another £100 or more and the cycle starts again... That's why I've fallen out of love with modelling and why the self timer on my phone will be my photographer from now on.
