CCS: Clear Card Ch. 79
Chapter 79!!! I usually try to avoid spoilers but got sorta-spoiled from an unexpected place prior to this chapter, but it wasn't TOO bad. The latest chapter can be found on CLAMP-net’s YouTube Channel. As always, please check out @meimi-haneoka's post on the latest chapter for EN-JPN translation differences!!
Links for previous chapter reactions can be found here.
Reading Reactions:
THE COVER PAGE! IS! BEAUTIFUL!!!
AHHHH!! I LOVE THE TWO TOGETHER!!!
Ruby Battery to the rescue!
I love that they're working together!! And they can kinda "joke" about things XD love their interactions!
Tomoyo from this side profile view is so lovely ♥
The way Kaito is holding onto Akiho, I'm--TuT
Sakura PROTECT MODE ON!
SAKURA BIG BRAIN!
BIGGEST BRAIN!
Sakura looks so kakkoi saying all this!!!
I love assertive and determined Sakura!
Kaito saying something along the lines of "you need lots of magical power to do this" and Sakura responds by showing off lots of magical power
LI MAMA!!! AHHHHHH!!! (this was where I kinda got accidentally spoiled prior to reading--but I'm still very happily surprised)
Wow, all this magic at work!
New card time!!
A card that resembles Akiho! WITH KAITO'S DRAGON WINGS!!
Card upgrade?? Card fusion?? Remind?!!
I love that the cards Sakura are creating resemble her friends~
Sakuraaaa
I love the art so much omgsh
Syaorannnn <3
HAND TOUCH!
Finally a reality where Kero and Touya can talk to face to face lolll
omgshhh is this… the end?? soon??
Ahhhhh!!
Thoughts: I wrote my "reactions" on a sticky note yesterday when I read the chapter and I only found out today that the next chapter will be the last one!! Wow... how far we've come already. We're reaching the end, finally.
I absolutely loved how this chapter goes back to Sakura, our protagonist, doing protagonist things, and saving her friends. I know it's very cliche, but it feels so good seeing how she's able to make things right in her own way? Like, how genius is her idea of just making the villains forget? If that happened from the very start, so much pain/hurt/trauma would have been averted. But of course, it HAD to be Sakura to be the one to think of this idea and carry it out. She is, after all, the one with the power to create cards (and fuse them too, like in Movie 2), and when she was lacking in power, had the means to receive powers from others. This isn't "new" because she's received help/powers from other people before, and it's so wonderful that this time, she's receiving that help from Syaoran's mom. I hope they can meet face to face (can we get a bunch of extra chapters or something after the final??) because I just crave "mother-daughter" interactions FOR Sakura, and "mother-in-law & daughter-in-law" comes quite close for me, esp when it's Sakura LOL.
Also, I'm kinda relieved that next chapter is the end, meaning they won't get into more on the villains/Association because idk, I feel like this is a very satisfactory "resolution" for CCS. If they trek anymore into this route, we might have a very different story. So I'm glad that things went the way they did this chapter. Our Sakura still got her shining moment, so all is well with me.
For Akiho and Kaito, I hope we get more of them in the final chapter. BUT!!! WHERE IS MOMO??!? I hope she shows up and gives Kaito an earful before smothering him with her own brand of love/care XD I want the three of them to be happily together, and they can go travel the world or something. I wanna see Momo, Kero, and Spinel interact too XD
Until the final chapter... (unless we get extras, hehe)

Burrow's End Episode 2 Reactions!
Ok so I watched this spread out over last night and this morning and now I'm in a Great mood for class! This episode was so good though. Really really truly this is wonderful and I love this season.
She thought they would have greater numbers?? Aabria you’re the one who wrote it what do you mean
Erika’s character look is so cool
Electricity?
That is what mothers are like yeah.
I don’t know about every stoat in the world being able to harness lightning magic but sure okay
This line of thinking from Tula feels very in line with what Brennan’s talked about in the past of it always being valuable for someone to have basic needs in mind, and it making everything easier and more enjoyable when those things are considered first.
Oooh paladin things!
This season is going to fuck me up incredibly badly and it’s not even going to be the sad shit it’s just going to be the parent/child interactions.
It hurts to be awake because it’s all I ever think about and there are no answers. So real.
Ava is so good to watch
Every time it cuts to Erika-
Ugh I love dnd so much
Every time Brennan gets a nat1 he kind of hides behind it lol
Tula has a -1 to arcana???
Love to see the weird british things counter return
Cageyyyy
Bear nearby and bear has small friends?
BATTLE MAP BATTLE MAP
THE WHOLE MAP IS A BEAR
Vampire chipmunk??? What the fuck what the fuck what the fuckkkk
WHAT
Ok oh my gif the threatening energy in “Oh, you didn’t beat me.”
WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD WHAT I HATE THAT WHAT
I hate it I hate it I hate it no god please no
ON THE DOME TOO??
Izzy is so right about the magic school bus thing
My soul shoots straight out of my ass, into hell. 🙂.
This is so unpleasant to look at
This does not feel proportional but it’s fine this is fine
HOW IS THIS BEAR ALIVE
Erika is so good at being The Old Lady
Be better!!
So help me I will turn this bear around!
Oh my god
I get that the heart beating is important to convey that the bear is still alive but jesus
There’s literally enough bear already.
Parasitic chipmunks nesting inside a bear. Good lord.
God I keep looking at the projection. That’s so unsettling.
Bad! This feels bad!
Oh my GOD
What oh god please no
What a brilliant episode to be watching while I have breakfast
I’m so curious if the bear’s actions are legendary actions or lair actions
Oh that was such a new york mother voice
That was literally a commercial break. The Iyengar-Mulligan bit. That was a comic relief commercial break
Horrible!!!
Eraser destroying power couple lmao
Like a stoat!
As an experienced babysitter I can confirm. Eight year olds are strong and it is because they don’t know they are. Being punched by an eight year old fucking hurts.
They’re taking the Alvin thing so far and it’s incredible
Ava WHAT are you doing
Oh I had a physical reaction to that. That was so unpleasant.
You think you’ve got this (threatening)
(Aabria laughs at the nerve of this play)
I love seeing my own table dynamics reflected in others. Because this wild swinging from hysterical laughter to jaw dropping horror is exactly what happened literally four days ago in my current game.
If your spine isn’t working store bought is fine
I dislike this strongly
She’s in the medulla oblongata! (Mentopolis)
FUCK YEAH LILA
Oh my god Aabria
Terrifying right now but like I’m a fun way
Just a lil blood soaked guy
I really appreciate how Aabria always mentions who’s up next so they can prep
I love doing things that potentially have great consequences just to see what it would do.
Oh we’re in blue again ok
What a wild thing to be happening right now
Oh good god
Do NOT eat it
What oh god what the fuck are you doing
MID COMBAT LEVEL UP???
Oh ok.
No I don’t believe that they’re dead- well, they don’t look great…
Pick your one favorite organ
The devil inside my child’s head!
Level up eyyy
What a visual
And also to you :)
Oh my god
Ok! What a time. Wow.

RED
Summary: The red color is so bright and beautiful, enjoying the ability to arouse hidden passions.
Pairing: Shalnark X F.Reader
Warnings: Little NSFW
Author’s note: I have written little about "X character x reader" so sorry if I don't do it right, additionally English is not my mother tongue so there may be mistakes
You really weren't a fan of going out to parties, let alone going to evening events, you would have preferred a thousand times to stay at the hotel watching TV and order fast food.
However, you had to help Shalnark's cover to gather information about moving high-value objects from the black market.
You literally couldn't even contradict Chrollo, so now you were looking at fixing your dress and combing your hair pretty.
You looked in the mirror, you did not look bad, you were very pretty, the red dress fit everything beautiful about your body, plus you usually only combed your hair the first way you could think of, now it was more ornate and shiny, at least in image the mission would be a success.
Then you thought about your companion, you did your best to avoid interacting with Shalnark, you had a somewhat complicated relationship lately, but the situation was already given.
"Well, can we leave yet?" Asked Shalnark entering your room
"What if she was naked? at least you could call the door” you say annoyed
"You're very funny," added the blonde standing next to you in the mirror fixing his tie "Don't you lack makeup?"
"I really don't know how-to put-on makeup" You commented embarrassedly
"I can try" he offered eloquently.
“I'm not a children's blackboard”
"Oh, Y/N, you even offend with the comment" Said Shalnark feigning sadness, "Sit on one side of the bed, I'll do the rest."
You didn't really trust him for this, but nothing worse could happen and you were curious to see how he could put on makeup.
You closed your eyes and felt the brushes on your face, also his thumbs making some corrections.
"I think it went well" He passed the mirror to you with a smile
"Wow, you have your talents hidden, apparently" You smiled at him after seeing your reflection, it wasn't bad at all, really.
"The lipstick is missing," he added, looking in the makeup cartridge case.
You let Shalnark dye your lips red, while remembering that when you bought it looked bright , you wondered how it would look.
"Did you finish?" You asked when he separated from you.
Shalnark was silent as he watched you, in his eyes the lipstick fit too well, it matched your dress, your skin tone, the color of your eyes, that made it hot.
"What? Does it look bad? Why don't you say anything?” You watched the blonde worriedly
Before you could react, Shalnark threw himself at you, or rather, at your lips, you didn't put up any resistance either, it felt really good.
Shalnark's kiss was somewhat aggressive, hurried and hungry, his lips devoured yours expertly, you even faltered at how powerful he felt in front of you, he was domineering and hot.
He started pressing until they were both lying on the bed, the Ryusei on top of you while his hands began to walk around your body tearing several sighs from you, you liked it, but you needed to stop, it was too much.
“Shalnark” You groaned in his mouth separating you as much effort from him, you could hardly breathe.
“I've needed that a long time” He said the cheerful blonde.
"But, the mission, the makeup, everything...” You answered something agitated.
"Forget about makeup and mission, I'm going to fuck you until all that makeup runs off your cute face”
Thank you so much for reading my shit 🖤

River's Thoughts after reading Lodestar again:
Wow did this book rip your brain out and stab it
also i highkey had a mini breakdown in the middle of this book, took a break and read a comfort book, and then went back to reading it today. So like. Yeah, progress?
Literally this has been the most sophitz up to this point and do you know what? Keefe is still a better love interest. I could write an essay on how Shannon is making us want Sokeefe unconsciously. Everything she does, every good moment we get with Fitz, it is always overshadowed with a love for Keefe. Shannon is making us think about Keefe at every single moment of this book. And it's like she specifically doesn't want us to focus on Fitz's newfound feelings for Soph.
I'm not afraid to say it. Sophie Foster loves Keefe. So much. It's apparent in every way she interacts with him. It's obvious in every way she comforts, every way she screams, every way her heart is caught up in him and his wellbeing and him him him him him. Sure, it's not the healthiest atm, what with the world falling to pieces and the trauma both of them are steadily living through, but holy mother trucker like a butcheek on a stick do those two love each other. Keefe is literally willing to do absolutely anything and everything for her, at the cost of himself, and she is willing to do anything and everything to protect him. My stars. These idiots got a whole fandom of middle schoolers up in arms over what was obvious from book five. They love each other, madly, desperately, and hopelessly. And sooner or later, they're gonna have to look each other in the eyes and face that fact.
my copy of lodestar is falling apart
i'd like to take a moment to tell my ex that he can go screw himself because that's not how you treat a lady's books.
Screw you, PJM. You know who you are, asshat.
Mr. Forkle went straight back to dehumanizing Sophie. Like, he took a break from it in Neverseen, but in this book, she is a weapon, a creation, a project, everything in between. No one thinks she's real. She's just a piece of a greater plan. And Mr. Forkle does not shy away from telling her so. At the end of the book, during the Summit, he has the actual gall to act like she's taken control of herself like, no, idiot, you raised her like this. You created this. You made this. You designed this. You may not be pulling the strings anymore but this little girl was still designed to be your puppet.
Gethen is the best Neverseen Member, I love every scene with him in it, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'll be here all weekend.
Brant is... so very. Much. All of the time.
Oh, my stars, I have so many problems with the Enhancing ability you don't even understand. Like, literally, strip her freedom away more why don'tcha. This was just an asinine move in every way. Don't give your weapon something like this. Don't design her this way. Don't be an idiot, sure, she may be an asset to you, now, but she's an asset to everyone else, around her. Like, once anyone knows that she's got this power, it's game over. They literally just capture her and force her to hold their hands like she's some kind of toy. Battle won instantaneously.
Oh, Sokeefe, how I love thee, let me count the quotes I've underlined with such captions as "t h e m".
I tried there's too many.
Okay, but the thing is that Linh literally throws herself backwards when she finds out Sophie's an enhancer. Linh's terrified of this new ability. Grady hates it. Like, does no one else see the downfall of making Sophie dangerous to the touch? Like, this poor girl is already so affection-starved, we're just gonna take it all from her???
EDALINE!!!!!! SO AMAZING!!! I'D KILL AND DIE FOR HER!!!! LOOK AT MY MOMMA BEAR GO AT THE END OF THIS BOOK SLAY QUEEN.
Keefe is just so traumatized. And everyone's like, "clearly, he's evil" and sophie is like "no, he's flipping traumatized" and everyone's like "what's trauma lmao" and sophie's like "im not a psychologist but i feel like it's when bad happens" and everyone's like "nah let's not take that into account" like what don't be idiots this is a kid without a support system not the evil spawn of satan
Actually Grady calling Keefe "That Boy" is disgusting, it's the first thing I've strongly disliked that Grady does, and I'm never going to be over how quickly everyone in this fandom just took the nickname and decided it was a joke, instead of how Grady says that Keefe doesn't deserve to be referred to by a name at all, and says he'll have to earn his own name back. Like, ehe, no, Dad of mine, please be kind to the poor kid.
Grady was honestly pretty out of character in this book. I love the guy but jeepers someone tell him the separation between violence and the elven mind is imaginary and created by society and let him go batshit crazy on every single person in the lost cities who hurt his daughter, and also let him stick up for Keefe and see the similarities between Keefe and Jolie, doing dangerous things for the people they love, and all that.
if i have to hear one more thing about how the neverseen distract from the problem and the black swan doesn't im going to start hitting people(probably forkle)
council is so bloody fricked lmao there's no way they're making it out of this book series with any sort of governmental claim over actually literally anything
Oralie is so very Sophie's mom it's kind of startling to look back and see. Like, even Sophie expects Oralie to be her mom.
Okay, I'm sorry, but the way the Neverseen knew how everything was going to go down seems Deus Ex. Not even going to lie. I feel like it was something that Shannon needed to happen and so she just lined up the dominos. It feels very Deus Ex. Or, *coff coff* Neverseen Alden.
Oh, how I want to slap Gisela Sencen hard enough that her pea-sized brains rattle in her ginormous skull made out of her own ego.
I love how the fandom highkey forgets actively how much of a complete psycho Fintan is. Like, we all just see flamboyant arsonist and make grabby hands while canon Fintan is sitting in the corner talking to himself about blood and how pretty your skin is.
Y'know, I actually am beginning to think that Gisela would be the parent who would actually get around to hurting Keefe. I seriously think that Cassius wouldn't hurt his kid. Maybe if really angry, but not purposefully, or with intent to punish or harm. I think Gisela would. Like, if one of the two adults actually ever hit Keefe, ever actively used it as a punishment and did it more out of "this is the only way you'll learn" I honestly feel like it would be Gisela. Hmm. Time to write a fic about Keefe experiencing some severe physical pain and having no clue why. Or why he's flinching so bad at nothing when he can't remember anything coming at him like that. Because Gisela definitely gets his mind washed often.
"Did they just admit they're training us to kill" yes. They are. Get over it, Sophie. It's just a little violence. You went to exilium. You've got this handled.
Oh, my gosh, the way the Song parents makes me want to claw my skin off. That's just... that's so accurate as to how awful parents are around the public eye. They're just... good people, would never hurt their kids, so sad they've lost out on things, and yeah. Like, it's just something I never picked up on before. Tam and Linh are severely traumatized by their parents. And in the first scene you meet them, the Songs are nice people. Reasonable. Their children ran away. Don't you feel bad for them?
No, I sure the heck don't. <3
Fitz listens to his dad's secret conversations. No thoughts, just a comment.
Emperess Pernille and Oralie are best friends someone please write me a fic
Okay I have so many thoughts about the end of Lodestar i don't even think i want to write them in this post because it's just so very much to think about
i suppose i can try to summarize?
every other species(sans gnomes) commits murder under elven standards.
the summit was right to listen to Fintan Pyren.
The Council and The Black Swan do not listen to the Neverseen and try to fight them without knowing what they want, really.
Fintan says the problem is humans, but talks like they are really the solution, the catalyst, the final piece to the puzzle, the way to connect all the dots.
anyways this book screwed with my head and i equally never want to touch a volume again and immediately begin Nightfall just so i can kiss Keefe full on the mouth for existing in person again.

June Wrap Up ✨
We're back at it again. I will admit I didn't read as much as I wanted to BECAUSE I am still reading too many fanfics (just today I started and finished one). Since it was pride month I tried to keep it LGBTQ+ (as if I don't read gay stuff on a daily basis). I read 4 books (if we count fanfics, I read 8 books), and as always, be careful because I might spoil something.
1. The Atlas Six - 4/5
Honestly, I though I was going to like it more, but the open ending just left me shocked and unable to think. HOWEVER, that does not erase the fact that I love the characters of this book??? Well, I love 4-5 characters, the other ones are just there and I tolerate them. Reina, just like her name, is a freaking queen, I want to be her, I want to be Mother. Parisa is just, wow. Bisexual representation right there, and the trio scene?? My jaw was on the FLOOR. Now I just need her to have an orgy with all of them. Dalton is hot. But the real deal are Nico and Gideon. I don't know how to explain my smile whenever they interacted. And the shit the said about each other?? Excuse me??? Just get married. Nico is one of my favourite characters of the year. Not just book, year.
2. Aphrodite made me do it - 4/5
This is a poetry/narration book and it's so good. It even made a friend of minr cry in the middle of the street. It's just weird seeing some of your own fears on paper like that, and the references to greek mythology are just amazing. My favourite poem is the Achilles one (obviously). I'm already reading the second one, and these are books I'm willing to collect.
3. The Uncensored Picture Of Dorian Gray - 3/5
I was on a Ben Barnes lock down, I obviously had to re read this bc I only read it for school and remembered NOTHING, but I chose the uncensored version. If you are going to be gay, do it well 😤. After giving it some thoughts, I see why people love it, it certainly makes you react, and Basil is the best, but like... The way the ending is written is a bit anticlimactic for me. Wilde spent paragraphs describing, but the ending felt to quick. Idk, I think I am not made for classics.
4. They Never Learn - 2/5
Listen, I was all in for a vigilante killer teacher. But this book was not it (I have a lot of thoughts and there are spoilers). It frustrated me more than anything. On chapter 10 I was already bored, but I kept reading bc I was promised dark academia and queer representation. It fell flat. Like, I know men ain't sh*t, but like, the only good men in the book are the gay couple. Everyone else is a predator. And Scarlett is a freaking hypocrite, that made me so mad. Also, the twists were predictable, but maybe it was just for me bc I am just that good. What bothers me the most is the fact that there is nothing darrk academiaish about it when I was promised that. The ending and the relationship are too idealistic. Where is my suffering?? WHERE???? ALSO, why is one of the genres of the book Lesbian when the characters are bisexual?? I know it's a lesbian relationship, but still, the characters don't stop being bisexual for it.

Maruki for the character meme? :3
What I like about them:
I love how versatile he is. I mentioned this to Deni a few days ago but there are so many angles to his character. He's the goofy school counselor, he's a supportive father/big brother figure, he's a traumatised victim, he's an intimidating antagonist, etc. You can do so much with his character, it's amazing. Plus I love how his motives are completely understandable and, in a way, admirable... But his methods are a bit of a yikes to put it lightly.
What I dislike about them:
He does decide what's best for the other characters without really talking to them about it. And that ends up not being what was best for them. Like, c'mon dude, I thought your job was listening to people.
Favourite moment:
I'm torn between his Rank 10 because that's just a really sweet scene between him and Ren after they've become quite close, especially since so many adults in the main story treat Ren so badly (excluding the obvious ones, I know they get better) and the final fist fight in his palace because wow, that scene is heart wrenching but cathartic and I cry every time I play through it.
Least favourite moment:
Honestly? When he shows the group Sumire's traumatic memories and causes her to break down. It just seems so out of character for him??? Like I get they had to reveal Sumire's true identity somehow, but I just don't see how that fits into Maruki's character when his whole thing is keeping people away from pain. I guess you could say he was making a point to Ren and Goro but even then, that still seems so out of character? I dunno, that scene is just odd when you think about it too much.
A situation with this character that I want to see explored more:
I've said it before and I'll say it again and again: I wish we had more scenes with third semester Palace ruler Maruki. That particular persona (don't) of his doesn't get anywhere enough screentime. Something I really, really want is a scene similar to P4G when Yu goes to see Adachi by himself and try to talk to him. I feel like that could have been a really interesting discussion, especially if it was a tense one where you had to choose your options carefully because Maruki is the one with complete control in his palace and his warped mindset makes him believe that he's helping Ren. I just think that would be cool.
An interesting AU for this character:
.... D-Do I even to say it? You already know. I am just that predictable.
A crossover:
I don't really tend to think of crossovers too much but I recently rewatched Promare for reasons, and a thought that randomly popped into my head was "Burnish Takuto" and it hasn't left me since.
OTP (or OT3+ etc…. just… favourite ship):
Again, do I even need to say it???? Takurumi, and I really wish it got more attention from the fanbase. I know it won't because Rumi appeared for like 5 minutes in an 100+ game... But still. I can dream.
Other ships?:
Takawa is pretty cute, I like that one. Plus I've seen quite a bit of HaseMaru content that makes me wish we could see them interact in canon.
BROTP:
Obviously Ren because their relationship is really interesting one that I don't have the brainpower to analyse right now but I love how sassy Ren is towards Takuto, like when he forgot Ren's reward for helping him with his research and Ren just crosses his legs and folds his arm while staring at Takuto like an unimpressed mother.
But I really like the idea of Sojiro and Takuto, and let's throw Zenkichi into mix, bonding over how difficult it is to keep the thieves from getting into trouble and being tired dads.
NOTP:
Just any of the students. It just makes me uncomfortable.
An assortment of headcanons:
Like I said earlier, my brain ain't working today....I've been trying to convince myself to write today since I woke up at seven this morning... It's now quarter to six and I haven't written anything... Sorry about that...
I guess the only thing that pops into my mind is, if Takuto adopted an animal, he'd adopt an older one because it makes him sad to see them left behind when all the younger animals find families.

youtube
There's a story behind this. When I was about seven or eight years old, I watched most of this movie while waiting for my dad to assist me in getting dressed for school. We both woke up early because it was easier for him to get me ready before he went to work. The typical morning routine consisted of my bath, then he puts me in bed while I wait for him to finish showering and dressing. In the meantime, I got to watch TV.
IIRC, I missed the last 10 or 15 minutes of this movie. While he was helping me get dressed and in my wheelchair, I missed the ending. I was able to pay attention as I was being dressed. I was very disappointed to miss the ending, but I didn't think it wise to complain too much. But, it only took one complaint for my dad to offer up some advice. He told me I could probably catch it again as a rerun.
With this in mind, I spent the next two weeks randomly checking the Guide Channel every few hours to see if it was back on. Of course, I couldn't check it during specific times of the day, so it may have rerun while I was at school or asleep. I didn't forget about the movie, but I stopped looking for it. Then, I suddenly had an inkling to check YouTube.
I couldn't remember if it was simply called Jack and the Beanstalk or if it went by some other name, so I typed "Jack and the Beanstalk with a princess" into the search bar. Sure enough, the first result was a clip from the movie. I investigated the first result, but the movie playing immediately after the clip was the last thing I expected. I didn't even notice it in the video queue.
For the sake of argument, let's say I was seven years old. Wow, it only took me 34 years to finally finish watching this movie! It was nice to revisit something I gave up on because I couldn't catch it at the right time. This movie had more influence on me than I thought.
The first thing I noted on this second viewing is the animation style. Once upon a time, I was obsessed with anime. If my timeline is correct, this would be the first official anime I've ever seen. At the time, after seeing the princess's design, I wanted to see more cartoons in that style. Other than her design, this looks like a typical 70s animated cartoon.
I originally thought Voltron, Superbook, and The Flying House were my first brushes with anime (I still consider Vampire Hunter D my first true introduction to the concept of anime), but this movie precedes them by a year. Still, I'm not ruling out the possibility that I had an earlier brush with anime preceding Jack and the Beanstalk.
For as long as I remember, I've been in love with falling in love. The first movie to reinforce this is still The Princess Bride, but this one is the second one. Something about Jack and Margaret's interactions made me want that for myself. The romance aspect was my second favorite part of this movie.
My number one favorite part was the action. There's not much of it, but what they have is entertaining. Too bad I missed the ending the first time around because I would've loved the final act.
Jack and the Beanstalk also solidified me into a lifelong fan of the underdog. I was already a fan before this movie, but this movie caused me to be more interested in underdog stories. Although I'm sure if I hadn't seen it, something else would have made me a fan of underdog stories.
As a kid, I was very familiar with the original story, so I knew this one could only end one way. Considering the only way for Jack to see Margaret again is if he gets more magical beans to grow a new beanstalk, it's highly unlikely they'll have a full happily ever after. On the upside, at least the adventure led to Jack having a better life. He and his mother don't have to worry about money issues anymore.
One last thing, am I the only one that finds it a little dark how happy the cow is to be taken to the butcher? Animals are clearly shown to understand the people in the story, yet the cow happily comes along after Jack's mother tells him to sell her to the butcher…

S6 E3 Man of the People
(I typed most of this out a long while ago; this is just a much delayed posting with minor additions.)
-
Another episode to add to Troi's suffering and trauma. This is one of the tough ones to watch.
So I actually stopped doing these for a while because I got busy but also because I didn't feel like I had the emotional energy to watch this episode. (Now I can't quite remember what happens, so let's do this!)
I always love some silent eye contact between Riker and Troi.
I wonder, do they just hold them in the pattern buffer untill whoever is supposed to greet them gets there? Troi walks in right before the materialize; It's such perfect timing....
What a way to make a bad first impression. And Troi looks deeply uncomfortable.
This beginning has a little more exposition than I want with a few too many names that are meaningless.
Worf's tai chi class. For all of Worf's supposed physical training he never strikes me as an especially poised or graceful person.
Troi and this guy's interactions immediately seem a bit awkward and forced; like bad flirting. I'm not sure if that's intended or they're meant to be establishing a positive rapport (one of the down sides of characters confined to a single episode is there's never enough time to build what feels like real chemistry and tell both plot lines A and B).
Awkwardly long shoulder touch to end the interaction. I imagine this might have been intended to display comfort? but it makes me uncomfortable because we barely know the character. Anyone lingering like that, even if they're only touching my shoulder, would make me uncomfortable if I've only known them for five minutes. (For anyone who is interested, the field that looks at non-verbal, interpersonal interaction through touch is known as social haptics or haptic communication.)
This guy's "mother" is a HUGE red flag. From her jealousy to her impertinent question. Also telling a woman that if she "mates" with this man she'll regret it for the rest of her life.... is a pretty outrageous statement.
By contrast, the rapport Troi has with Riker feels very natural and authentic. Her body language and face expression seem relaxed. His voice is softer and seems more gentle too (which is to say they both seem at ease.)
It's funny, you can hear Troi pat Riker's knee
The old woman's hands are stiff like....rigor mortis already? (Is 93 old for this time period?)
Troi had such a strong reaction when the rocks touch, clearly negative, and I want to know what she's feeling. Does she realise something is wrong?
She has such long fingernails. Wow.
(ensign Janeway?!)
What's that little thing Troi has? A skirt?
I love Picard's jacket. It was such great costuem development.
I really want to know what Troi is feeling. She's exhibiting different behavior externally but there's really nothing to tell us how she is feeling about it.
"i don't know anything about you" sounds like a potentially alluring line but the reality is she really doesn't know anything about him so she has no idea if being alone with him is even really a safe place to be.
"if there's anything else I need I know where to find you" this statement immediately displays a selfishness and a self-centeredness that is uncharacteristic of Troi. Clearly the sexual interaction she just had with this crew member was about satiating her desires, with literally the closest available person. And it brings into question abuse of authority; she has no personal relationship with the man so their only connection is professional, and she out ranks him.
And then Troi's first question to Riker seems intent on instigating jealousy, and he handles it very well. (Which is a testament to his character.) I wish he'd been written to be concerned about her altered behavior rather than apparently annoyed (but we've still got 25 minutes to get through and if he got suspicious too early there wouldn't be a plot.)
Damn, Troi is really going off the rails.
Crusher getting clever for a work around.
Data is like a child, pointing out obvious but important details. Marina does look incredible in that dress. It's much more flattering than her typically bland one piece not-uniform.
The question is, is what Troi says born from whatever she's feeling or is it genuine perception?
I'm glad to see Riker intervening. I wonder if telling her she's "way out of line" is as a commanding officer? He certainly has a harsh tone.
Troi using "imzadi" as a means of manipulating Riker makes me cringe so hard. Rather than being in tune with him she seems oblivious to his emotions and social cues. "I'm worried about you" now feels like a it's coming from a friend despite still being stern. I feel like it should have been sooner but at least he is paying attention.
He is resistant to her, but still gentle, calling her by name and not outright rejecting her kiss. When she hurts him, literally drawing blood, he looks so confused and shocked; probably too much so to register being hurt. When she says "please" it sounds so desperate and genuine.
It really isn't clear why Troi desires this guy (or anyone) when he seems so disinterested in her. (He even pronounces ger name incorrectly). I don't know what his behavior was in the beginning (that awkward flirting) that he has done away with it now. Was it just to gain her trust for the ritual?) because he doesn't seem to have any other interests in her.
"I'm closer to Deanna than I've ever been to anyone." Aww 🥰
Deanna is really taking a turn for the worse, and fast. Picard's reaction to her is a perfect mix of shock and confusion.
Cute little moment between Picard and Crusher. It's funny that Picard as the patient assures Dr. Crusher that he'll be fine.
Crusher's impassioned "I don't care" seems more about her care for Deanna than a flippant reaction to a different culture.
This guy is horrible and he's totally fine with it. The arrogance; He's playing god and he's self appointed. A very important question that should be asked is why he chooses women to carry the burden of his "negative" emotions? It would seem to be an all too real display of how "great" men use and neglect the women whose support (chosen, coerced, or forced) makes them "great" without sharing the credit or benefits and while insisting they, as men, are more logical and capable than those same women.
Look at Riker's utter shock and panic when Crusher says Deanna has to die, as he turns to Picard for .... emotional support, or help. And you can see his panic rising more as the conversation goes on.
The makeup on Marina is incredible and also really ugly.
It's unfortunate that an episode were Troi gets so much screen time involves abusing her. That seems often to be the case; like the writers don't know what to do with her otherwise.
Is everyone in on the plan to kill Troi? Because Worf didn't seem phased.
This guy has an incredible ego. He's so manipulative and....predatory.
I don't know how the damage to Troi isn't irreparable. But okay. (The little brain defibrillator is so comical.)
It's cute that Riker is there the whole time and he's the first person Troi turns to once she regains consciousness. (Notice the optimistic little brass theme that signals that everything is okay again).
At least the experience seems distant to her, and potentially less traumatic.
Aww, little affectionate kiss. I love that.
"thanks for sticking by me"
"I always will"
And a cute cuddle

We Best Love: Episode 3, "Whats up, doc"
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy writing like crazy for two things: a project, and my books. It's been wild.
Writing is a hobby of mine but sometimes it feels like I have to finish things up before moving on and, gods, I have so many things to finish.
Anyways, that only means these reactions will take sometimes a little bit more than a week but at the end of the day I'm doing this for me as much as for my friend and the few who seem to enjoy this, so I WILL finish them, no doubts about that, rest assured.
With that being said, let's begin!
Okay, the intro lyrics are surprisingly easy, I keep singing them when the episode starts.
It's the doctor, and says he's got gastropathy.
So I went and searched what Gastropathy is and apparently is very dangerous, damn. Guess no spicy food for a month for me, y'all.
“I had it, why are you yelling at him" Cause you're boyfriends, whether you like it or not.
Even the doctor is saying "he cooked it for you, so of course, as your husband, he's also responsible for your almost death and I will yell at him". I might be paraphrasing a bit here.
HOLY GUACAMOLE
EVEN HE'S LIKE "I ASK MYSELF THE SAME QUESTION ALL THE TIME, DOCTOR, BUT I'M IN TOO DEEP, I CAN'T BACK DOWN NOW".
And also, thanks for spilling the tea, doc, how based of you.
“They look close”, says Shu Yi while the doctor and Shi De leave. And now he's finally thinking about 🌈 possibilities. Boy you're so oblivious.
“My future cousin-in-law”. Shi De can't keep a secret.
Now the doctor confronts him about why he still likes him despite not having his feelings required, and Shi De it's all: It started a long, long, time ago...
Wow, he's going for it. He's telling him the whole story of his 🌈 awakening.
“What's wrong with you?” Chibi-Shu Yi, what a way to start a conversation.
He keeps being rude and it's funny and cute for some reason, but Gao Shi De just keeps crying because his parents got divorced.
Shu Yi offers him his own dad, which is cute and all but I keep thinking of how technically being married would be a nice way of sharing a family. Just throwing ideas, Shu Yi.
“ I'll give myself to you" I literally can't show this to my mother and make her think it's not a bit fruity. She'll catch up. But glorious bread of every day, I'm enjoying this.
Don't scream your info, Shu Yi, my boy, someone will hear. But mother nature, creator of 🌈, this is too adorable.
Oh lord
He would be the cuddling type, you can't change my mind.
Best character already. I need to check your name again.
[Pei Shou Yi. I will remember you.]
"If you're so full of love, spread it". He keeps being a little shit and I love him for that. Anyways, Shi De definitely needs someone like him.
Is that a fruity backstory I see?????
Oh, now we're back to Shu Yi being bad at feelings even tho his friend, while failing to notice the obvious, it's trying.
But I do like that they're giving themselves a chance at normalcy again.
And that he's trying to be mature and taking this event as something that time will keep as an old memory instead of a painful one.
A guy invites them over to a party and the only things these two got from that interaction were "competition" and "good memories before graduation".
And of course, they took it in completely different directions
Now at the party, it looks like no one can handle the house of terror
Which also makes me wanna bring some popcorn since this is such a nice place for some romantic material.
Speaking of romantic material. Hello, Shu Yi's friend.
Ah...... This is a fantasy, right?
They're both about to kiss now, this is def a fantasy.
Yeah, he woke up.
That mask will forever be traumatized, tho.
He's back to being terrified and searching for Shu Yi to "protect him".
It's cute and at the same time I'm like "so he likes Shu Yi, at least a bit, why am I not surprised?".
Zheng Wen is there and, boy, you look like you'll die if someone as much as touches you.
Not at all, my soul just left my body, it happens.
Why take the easy jumpscare, Yu Xin? Please don't do this again.
OH, SO YOU'RE PART OF IT. Nice, I guess. Still, don't do this to me again, I'll die of a heart attack. The perks of being a scaredy cat, house-alone and watching this :D
Bro, it's supposed to be a romantic scenario, not a try-to-give-each-other-heart-attacks scenario.
Shi De encourgaes to go and when Shu Yi hesitates, he tells him that he thought he was over it.
I mean, that's the thing, he's reached the state of acceptance, but that doesn't mean it's not gonna hurt from time to time. And that's the key: time. Time to sort out his feelings, and to also let other feelings rest.
Anygays, Shu Yi is about to leave when he remembers that he's just like me and gets scared easily, and it's night and the school is scary and "why did I want to do this again? Oh, yeah, my gay ass rivalry".
He turns to serch for Shi De and to keep some of his pride by inviting him to go first.
Shi De: "I'm scared of ghosts" Bruh
Option 2: he's really scared of ghosts and doesn't know whether to follow Shu Yi or stay frozen and wait for help. OR, and hear me out, Option 1: he's a liar and just made up that as an excuse to create the romantic scenario I was talking about.
It's still a nice gesture because when someone else is scared it does give you more confidence since you're not the only one, and it also gives you a reason to actually feel more confident since you would want to protect that person if you like them on a certain level.
Shi De keeps being all "nuuu, I don't wanna go" and Shu Yi keeps trying to reasure him that he won't slow him down.
Wait, is he gonna take his hand and drag him?
Mother of biscuits it's happening
HE'S DOING IT, HE'S OFFERING HIS HAND
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW OBSESSED I AM WITH HANDS!!!!!
Shi De, we're really in it, now. I get you, bro.
BUT GIVE HIM YOUR WHOLE HAND, DON'T BE A COWARD NOW!
Now we're cutting to the other classmates/friends we know.
I was already thinking "I'll ship you two, ironically" but I don't think it's gonna be irony if they keep being like this by the end.
While they keep looking for our boys, Shu Di and Shi De are having a good time.
They're inside an office, looking for the stamp. And trying to keep Shu Yi's pride intact because he is, in fact, not scared, not at all.
Ah, yeah...
An idiot that you love. This is what you suscribed for, don't regret it now.
Whoops, the lights went out.
Are you saying that to Shi De or to yourself?
That's it, keep repeating it and you'll believe it.
He wants to get the hell out of there, like, today.
Whoops #2
Right on time, Shi De. Real smooth, catching your boy in your arms. Meanwhile, he's about to explode.
The funny music really sells it.
Well, they're trapped.
Are you enjoying this, boy?
"I thought you know this place well." I mean, I'm not gonna rule out that maybe Shi De was planning for this outcome, but that'd be wild, even for him.
Shu Yi keeps telling him to do something and Shi De is all "we're fucked, deal with it"
"Or Shou Yi will come and open the door tomorrow morning" So there is the possibility that you and the doctor are working together, is that what you're telling me?
Nah, that's too far fetched, tho I don't doubt doc-boy will try to help.
But, for real, he's enjoying this (Shu Yi being trapped with him and with no means to contact the outside world) way too much.
Shu Yi is hungry, the monster inside his stomach is making to much noise, and Shi De goes for the instant noodles in the room.
Shu Yi is all "so since when are you and the doc dating? You even know where he keeps his noodles". Why is he so oblivious, good lord.
HUHHH?!!!!!!!!!
SHU YI, FOR FUCKS SAKE, PLEASE, REACT ACCORDINGLY
THANK YOU, I WAS ABOUT TO CROSS THE SCREEN AND SMACK YOU
WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO WAY?! YES WAY!!!
SHI DE, IF YOU BACK DOWN NOW I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING I WILL FIND YOUR ADRESS AND FILL YOUR HOME WITH SO MUCH DUST YOU'LL BE SNEEZING EVERYTIME YOU TRY TO SPEAK NONSENSE
He's denying it, I'm giving up, I can't
Okay, this is disgustinly domestic, I'll give them another chance.
Even I'M hungry now. Damn.
That's the last soup, Shu Yi realizes.
"Let's share it" You're not helping poor Shi De's pining heart.
Shi De says that that it's not necessary. But Shu Yi insists, because "that's what friends do".
Take it or take it, Gao Shi De.
It's a rivalry, but doesn't mean it can't be friendship, Shi De. Get it through your head. He does like you in his own tsundere way.
Shu Yi says as much, and still reassures him that their rivalry it's gonna be a constant between them, so he expects Shi De to go as hard, and Shi De, of course, agrees.
This ending was cute af, ngl.
"Maybe... it's better this way." You say that now, I want you to repeat it three episodes later.
Even the skeleton is suddendly moving away.
"They're too domestic. I'll get diabetes."
Another good episode. I will say, I enjoyed more than the previous two, and I like the other two. It's just that this felt more like personal progress for both of them and like they're reaching that place, if you know what I mean.
They have a chance at happiness, I know it. I still feel that they'll get through some more angst first.
(And if you noticed some small typos, no you didn't.)
Thanks for reading this, I hope you enjoy the next reaction.

survey #179
Do you eat or drink as soon as you wake up, or do you wait a while?
I get water immediately, and then 30 minutes after I take my thyroid medication, I eat breakfast and may get a drink that isn't water.
Tell me about some of your interests.
I love animals and learning about/interacting with them, being artistic (writing, drawing, photography, etc.), exploring nature (at least I will again once my legs are 100%), watching YouTube, various social accounts, listening to music, playing video/computer games...
What's your favourite kind of Oreo?
Double stuffed ones. I actually checked what there were, and I can basically guarantee my favorite would probably be mega stuffed, but I don't thiiink I've tried those. My favorite Oreo product are the Oreo Cakesters though, I used to be FUCKING OBSESSED with them and would still snatch them up real quick if I wanted something Oreo-based.
Do you play any games on your phone? If so, tell me about one.
I only play Pokemon GO, it's all I have space for. I already have to clean out my phone before trying to update the game.
Do you have more male or female coworkers?
I'm unemployed.
What's the longest stretch of time you've spent completely alone?
Over a month, maybe closer to two, when my mom went up to New York in her mom's twilight weeks.
Do you use Instagram? If so, what's your current profile pic?
Yes. My personal one is my favorite pic of me when I had red hair.
What are your thoughts on kids being given iPads to keep them entertained?
I think it's fine to a degree. I do support limiting screen time; I would never want a kid to grow up as reliant on technology as I am; I do think it's important that we humans know how to stay in the current moment with what's in front of us, and computers and the like definitely do not do that.
[TW: SUICIDE] Have you ever thought about giving up on life completely?
Well, considering I tried to kill myself,
Have you seen the entire Harry Potter series?
I've never seen a single full movie, and I have exactly zero intent on watching a single one because I will not in ANY sort of way support the work of a hateful, haughty as actual fuck terf, her work can rot in history for all I care.
Do you still have both of your parents?
Yes technically, but my dad plays an astronomically smaller part in my life than Mom. I barely see him. I love him regardless of that, though, but I know he's not a grade-A parent.
Do you play video games?
I do, but nowhere near as much as I used to, and I've found that I tend to have more fun with them when playing with others, when I used to prefer single-player stuff. Ironically, the only game I regularly play nowadays is WoW, and in THAT game, I very much prefer doing things by myself, despite it being an MMO.
Do you have the same color eyes as your mother?
No, hers are brown and mine are grayish blue.
Have you ever been put to sleep for surgery?
Yeah, twice.
Have you ever had a pregnancy scare?
Not one that was even remotely realistic; we hadn't had full-on sex but my period was missing so I was freaking out over how foreplay stuff might make me an extremely small statistic of getting pregnant without proper sex. Safe to say, I wasn't pregnant haha.
When was the last time you went bowling?
Ha, I haven't been bowling since Girt and I tried dating the first time, in like... 2017, I think that was. I'm kinda thinking maybe we should do it again, this time on our second anniversary; I think that'd be cute and fun.
Do you personally know anyone who is transgender?
I know a handful of trans people.
When was the last time you spent over $100 in one transaction? What did you buy?
Months ago when I got my tattoo finished.
Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? Would you judge a grown adult for doing so?
No, I sleep with a real cat. I wouldn't judge someone for that at all, I did it too before I got Roman. I like hugging stuff in my sleep, nowadays I very often fall asleep kinda like hugging myself.
Would you describe yourself as fashion-conscious, or do you just wear whatever feels comfortable?
I definitely wear whatever the hell I want. I'm more so conscious of how others see my body, so I never do anything more revealing than a tank top. I don't have that sort of confidence.
What are the main two colours in the room you’re currently in? Did you pick these colours out yourself?
It's really just beige-ish with white doors and window outlines. We didn't pick any of the colors in this house.
Do you have piercings anywhere except your ears? How many and where?
Yeah, I have a vertical labret in my bottom lip. I want way more, it's just that they're far from my priority right now.
What’s your opinion on leggings as pants?
I don't give a shit, I've definitely done it. All the leggings I've seen really aren't revealing if they're appropriately sized????
Who was the last person you were in love with for more than a year?
Girt, still in love with him.
Do you have a secret life?
I wouldn't call it a secret "life," that makes it seem like a bigger, more important part of my general existence than it is, but I very much keep the fact I enjoy feral animal forum RPs an extremely strict secret because I feel so awkward and judged about it. Barely anyone in my real life knows; just my mom, my boyfriend, and maybe Nicole. Possibly Dad, but I'm very doubtful he remembers that. It's insane, I feel like I anticipate WAY more "omg that's weird you're weird" judgment than it would actually get, but seriously, I can't even talk in person about it to anyone, like even my own mother barely knows the details. I'll cry and feel like puking and I also get VERY snappy and like, innately defensive. My embarrassment response is so goddamn strong that it majorly affects my life, not just in this topic, even.
Have you ever seen the last person you kissed without a shirt?
Yeah, that's socially acceptable for a dude anyway.
Do your parents know EVERYTHING about you?
Oh definitely not.
Favorite thing to eat with peanut butter?
Chocolate!
If you had to get a piercing right now, what would it be?
Right nostril redone. It'd be like... the third time lmao.
The last time you held a baby:
Not since my three-year-old niece was an infant.
Does your mom eat meat?
Yes.
What would be your reaction if one of your parents said they were having another kid?
My mom's entire reproductive system is out lol, not to mention she's way past menopause. I'd be very shocked if Dad said that; it's extremely unlikely his wife hasn't gone through menopause too, sooo I'd like to know who the hell the mom was.
What fish scares you the most?
Probably stonefish, they're hard to see and extremely venomous.
How do you feel about snails?
I think they're VERY cute, but I don't really wanna touch them; slimy is a texture I absolutely despise, and to this day I have a fear response to slugs because of being slimy and way less cute than snails lmao.
If you were told by a professional that you were unable to become pregnant, how would that affect you? Is there something important to you about conceiving a biological child rather than adoption? And finally, if you even want to have children, would you choose adoption or surrogacy or would you go on childless?
I would honestly be very relieved lol, protection wouldn't be a big deal then but more importantly, I never have to really decide if I want to have a baby; so, I can't make the wrong choice/have no chance of fucking a kid up. I personally am very disinterested in adoption, I'd need the kid to be mine and/or my partner's to bond to it properly, I think.
Are you physically affectionate with your friends?
With hugs, yes, absolutely. I don't go beyond hugging my friends though, maybe a kiss on the forehead if they're crying or something.
Do you kill spiders when you see them?
No.
What’s your favorite makeup brand/brands?
I know almost nothing of any, save for Jeffree Star's seeing as I like him as a person and respect his work being purely vegan/cruelty-free. He as a person has evolved more than probably any other celebrity I've seen. I've never actually used a product of his though, that is NOT money I have lmao.
What fictional creature would you like as a pet?
A faerie dragon from World of Warcraft. They're the cutest goddamn things I've ever seen in fantasy, and I was ECSTATIC when they finally became tameable pets for the hunter class, esp because I regularly play the class, and of course I keep mine in my pet party always lol.
Have any local businesses closed that you’re sad about?
Yeah, Highway Diner.
How do you feel about TikTok?
No opinion, I've never even opened the site once.
Any current trends you dislike?
Crocs. They're hideous and always will be hideous.
If you had three daughters, what would you name them?
Miquella (me-kell-uh) Lynn is the one I'd really like IF Girt and I ever do have a kid, then Alessandra (not sure of middle name), then I guess probably Cheyenne, just in respect to his heritage. Or Justine, another feminine name I adore. Three kids is absolutely not happening, though; I doubt even one will, it's smarter for both of us.
Would you ever adopt a child?
The one and only case I can imagine myself doing this is if I got in the very unlikely situation of marrying a person who already has a child and the other parent isn't involved. But me dating someone already with a kid is very unlikely, it's absolutely not my preference.
Do you like your name's meaning?
lol no, it's literally just "of Britain," and a bitch ain't ever set foot in Britain.
Do you and your mom look like sisters?
Not really; that's the case with her first child though, Katie, like to the point it's kinda scary lol. You look at pictures or literally see them together, and you KNOW immediately that they're mother and daughter; hell, you probably WOULD guess sisters if Mom was younger, the age gap is clear by now.
Are you the same height as your mom?
Apparently she's like, half an inch taller than me.
Do you know anyone named Travis?
I knew a Travis, but I haven't known anything about him since high school.
[TW: DOMESTIC ABUSE] Did your parents abuse you?
No. My dad used to scare me as a kid, but he was never literally abusive. I think.
What is something you've learned to never take for granted?
My mom being alive and an incredible parent that keeps me safe and cared for.
Tell me about something significant that happened to you in the past week.
This isn't REALLY "significant," but after two fuckin years I've finally set foot in my boyfriend's room, lmao. It's always been messy and he's just never wanted me to see it, so in an incredible act of love for me he tidied it up apparently lol. I thought his room was actually pretty cozy.
What subjects do you like to read about?
Meerkats and their behaviors. Rammstein history/their stories together.
What is the name of the last book you bought?
Darkstalker by Tui T. Sutherland, I believe. I got all the mainline WoF books that are currently out last Christmas, but Darkstalker is like a side-story of a major character. Best book in the series so far, to me.
If you could change one thing about your home, and money was no issue, what would it be?
Wood floors, probably. Our carpet is like this dirty pink color and it's honestly hideous; Mom especially hates it.
Are there any (obviously fictional) villains you can't help but love?
Stiiiiill Darkiplier, please his story makes me cry. Very much like the whole else of the WoW fanbase too, I love Arthas Menethil/the Lich King, but if you know anything about the franchise, you saw that answer coming lol, it's common knowledge. Alessa Gillespie from Silent Hill can also be considered a villain, and she is Everything
Can you name a villain who you could kind of side with?
^ Alessa haha
What color eyes does your significant other (or crush) have? (If applicable.)
Brown.
Does anything around your home need repairing?
Yes, specifically one of the beams holding the front porch up; it's very weathered and almost looks termite-eaten, but thank god that's apparently not the cause. I can't remember what is.

Was talking today with someone who mentioned that they had moved out of their mother's house and live with their grandma bc of a variety of issues, including being trans, and I, thinking of my own relationship with my mother and how I would have moved out at like any moment starting age 12 if that was an option, said "oh good for you", which was fine in this particular case but NOT actually the appropriate reaction LMAO
#any time anyone is like 'i was low-key kicked out of my house but was able to find a good housing situation almost immediately' I'm like#god i wish that were me#i guess that's kind of what happened w my dad? tho i don't think it really counts if your parents are divorced and you're going to college#kids with moms who are honestly fine not abusive just. completely incompatible with your happiness rise up#if anybody has any suggestions on how to say 'i want you to be way less involved in my life' without making your mother really upset#i was like 'i got my neurology reference! hopefully i will be able to telehealth soon'#and she was like 'i wish you had done this sooner so i could also go to the appointment'#and i looked into the camera like i was on the office#but the thing is she got really upset last week that it seems like both me & bro don't want to hang out with her that much#and i was like ???? so you ARE picking up on those vibes???#i think the issue is the following: when my mother is like. telling us to do things or yelling at us#for her that doesn't register as interaction/spending time together#so she's done with work and is like 'now i want to spend time with children'#and I'm like 'wow i have had way too much interaction with mother already i cannot handle anymore'#but i don't know how to tell her this without being like. '50% of my interactions with you are completely unbearable to me.#and like once a week i have to play like 7 sudokus before bed to calm the blind rage inside of me#lol#the nuclear family is such a terrible idea and American capitalism makes everything about it worse#i feel so bad for disliking my mother as much as i do bc the feeling is obviously not reciprocated#if this were any other relationship i would cut it off#but i know that it would be way more devastating to her than it would be helpful to me#especially once i move out#so 🤷🏻♀️

hi! I really liked the boyfriend headcanons you wrote for JJK, they all felt so in character :) could you maybe do jealousy headcanons for noritoshi, junpei, & maki? thanks sm if you do! but also thanks either way for sharing your writing, I love your JJK work sm & I'm about to go through your haikyuu masterlist (sry if I note spam you a little I'll try not to lmao)
when they’re jealous over their s/o
featuring: noritoshi kamo, maki zenin and junpei yoshino
noritoshi
he may come from one of the big families and doesn’t let anyone forget it but there have been several occasions that he has been underestimated and assumed to only use his privilege as a power front
despite that he can get in a little over his head with his ego, he is very much the real deal and heir to the kamo clan
he doesn’t want to hurt or threaten anyone but he will not hesitate if he feels it’s necessary
luckily, there are people who know not to mess with him or you so he doesn’t have to do anything too often
he also knows that you’re perfectly capable of holding your own and can defend yourself which is one aspect that he likes about you, reminding him of his mother’s strength and bravery
but he likes the feeling he gets when he protects you
it makes him feel like he has more of his family to keep safe except you’re the one he absolutely cannot lose
he will never forget the first time you met todo and how that interaction almost sent him into a rage
“wow kamo, you better keep them close, they’re just my type!”
unfortunately, todo is not one of those people who’re too scared of him to say anything but luckily noritoshi would be happy to fight this himbo any day
however, you had your own opportunity to take him down without fighting by telling todo that he’s not your type at all
all noritoshi can do is laugh as todo’s face completely falls, leaving him to look like a dummy
you surprised him as well by turning back to him and leaning in to kiss him on the cheek, telling him that he is the only one you want to be with
“that’s what i like to hear, my liege.”
maki
she’d probably try to hide it at first
but you know all her tells of when she’s feeling a certain way
you don’t actively seek out situations that could bring out that side of her but it is rather amusing to see how she reacts to certain situations
like the one time she thought that megumi was trying to get with you by offering to help with your cursed technique
she would get extra facetious whenever she knew you had just been with him like, “so how was your ‘training session?’”
and you’d immediately become aware of her tone, answering her question but reminding her that he’s like her cousin
“technically i’m his aunt but whatever you say.”
your point was that they’re related so why would you want to be with him when you’re already with his more attractive aunt
that statement would get her blushing for sure, making her hide her face from you
“whatever. i just…don’t like seeing you with him. it makes me feel weird.”
your heart softened upon hearing her say that, thinking that she’s cute for realizing her own feelings, hugging her from behind and asking if she wants a kiss
“no. i didn’t say that, did i?”
you smile as that’s exactly what she says when she wants a kiss as you slowly turn her around to face you
she looks anywhere except your eyes until you place your fingers under her chin, pulling her focus to you
you remind her that you love her before closing the gap between your lips for a sweet, passionate kiss
“i hope you only kiss me like that.”
junpei
he may look meek and like he couldn’t do anything about it but in reality, anyone who tries anything with you will certainly regret it
he has more people who he feels respect him now than when he was at his other high school but there are still those who choose to underestimate him, especially when they see that you’re with him
one of those people is named noritoshi from the kamo clan which junpei had learned was a powerful sorcerer family within the first first seconds of meeting kamo
the first time he and kamo met, it did not go so well as kamo immediately targeted him in the joint training session between the two jujutsu schools
first kamo would taunt his naïveté as a sorcerer, telling him that he should just give up as his power could never reach to a level of any merit
he was used to this sort of thing and knows that none of it is true but when kamo started bringing you into it, that’s what made him really mad
“that partner is probably only with you because they feel sorry for you, how sad is that?? they should be with someone who actually has meaning to their name…”
he felt incensed that someone would say something like that about you, accuse you of pitying him as well as assume that kamo would be better for you and that you would be open to that option
after successfully destroying kamo in the training session, junpei couldn’t feel more proud of himself
and you were proud too as you reunited with him in a big hug, nearly knocking him over
you showered him with kisses and affirmations of how much you appreciate him
“well, uh, i, uh,” he stuttered as his cheeks glowed with pink
“i love you,” he finally spit out, causing your eyes to fill with tears of joy as you hugged him tightly, returning the sentiment
let’s get back to it! requests are still being accepted by yours truly...

because i met you,
—ep2.7: she’s an angel
warning: food :)
word count: 0.4k
Mark, Haechan and Bada arrived at the cafe ‘Lucky 7 Cafe’. As they were about to reach the place, Haechan noticed a girl carrying multiple bags of goods. He rushed to open the door. The girl gave a short "thank you." and a smile. In which the boy returned.
Seeing a young little girl in the corner of her eye, she whipped her head and smiled. She has an adoration for kids. She loved them. It’s why she’s around her cousin’s daycare.
"Place so pretty, dad!" Bada exclaimed with excitement in her eye. They entered, examining the vibe. The workers greeted them and told them to sit anywhere they please to.
"By the way, as our 20th day after opening and our boss wanted us to give the 20th person who walks in a free meal of their choice!" an employee named Sua informed.
"That person is the little angel there." Smiling towards the little one.
"Wow! Bada, did you hear that? The boss of this place is giving you a free meal!" Mark informed his daughter. Bada then thanked the employees and flashed them a big smile.
"Okay, let's have a seat and order!" Haechan said.
Their order came faster than expected. The server came with their food. "Your daughter is so cute!"
Mark giggled, "thank you so much, she's an angel." Turning to his daughter with admiration.
A few moments pass by, "Dad! These pancakes are so good—It's my new favourite!" Bada happily told her father.
"Seems like you and Bada are going to be here often." Haechan chimed to his friend.
"I guess so too—," he replied. "By the way, I was thinking,"
"You think? That's new—", the younger teased.
The older had faked laughed and playfully slapped the other. "Okay, but for real, I'm thinking of sending Bada to daycare, just so she can interact with more people you know—".
"I mean, why not? I think what would be good for her. Plus, you too, deserve some alone time. As much as we all love Bada, she can be a handful." causing Mark to scoff. "Also, don't you have to get another novel done? Maybe use that time to focus while Bada's at daycare," he answered.
"Yeah dude, you're right. I'll probably search some later."
After finishing, they went to take Bada to the park to tire her enough to fall asleep on time by the night. hehe~

How You Meet the Cullens + Jacob
Hi! I've decided I'm going to put some of my stuff from Wattpad, over here. If you want to see my Wattpad, its the same username as I have here. Anyway, this is how you meet the Cullens, + Jacob. Probably intended for female readers, but it could mostly go either way... I think. And I do have the girls as well in here.
Edward Cullen:
Edward and you met at school. Of course.
"Um, excuse me?" You asked a small girl, with short brown hair.
She turned around, revealing her pale white skin, and beautiful golden eyes.
"How can I help you?" She asked.
"I was wondering where Mr. Molina's classroom is?" You replied.
"Oh, yes. I can show you the way!" She grabbed your hand, and pulled you down the halls. (Wow, this is turning into an Alice preference)
"Thank you!" You said, when you two arrived at the classroom.
She pointed inside the room, towards a beautiful boy, with golden hair, and dark, dark, eyes. He glared at her, with his hand over his mouth. I turned to look at her, and she winked back at him.
"Uh, thank you. Oh, I never got your name." You said.
"Alice. Yours?" She asked, still smiling.
"Y/N."
"Well, Y/N, looks like you'll be sitting next to my brother, Edward, in there." She waved, and skipped away.
I walked inside the class, towards the boy, and sat down. He looked away, took a deep breath, then turned back to me.
"Hi, um, I'm Y/N. You're Edward, right?" I asked.
"Yes. I-I am." He seemed like he was in pain or something.
Weird.
Jacob Black:
I had lived in the outermost part of Forks for as long as I have lived. (Sounds like a wedding vow)
We were right next to the border of La Push. Therefore, I go to the school in the reservation.
(I have absolutely NO clue what the school is like there, so I'm making it up)
But, I didn't really talk to anyone. I had a few friends from down in the more central part of Forks, Bella Swan was one of them. She recently moved here full time. I hadn't seen her since I was little.
There was this one kid named Jacob who I had met a couple of times, mostly when he played with Bella snd I while our parents went fishing or whatever.
But, since Bella was going to school in Forks, I decided I would try and re-connect with this Jacob, to see if I could hang out with him.
So, I asked around one day at school for what classes he was in, and found out that he was in one of my classes. How did I never notice? Oh, just me and my oblivious self. (Sorry, if you're like- not oblivious?)
Well, I found him one day.
"Jacob, right?" I asked him.
"Oh, yes, oh, oh! Y/N! Hi!" He seemed to be a very nice boy.
"Yes, it's me. Um, I haven't talked to you in years, I'm surprised you remember my name." I explained.
"I'm surprised you remembered mine." He laughed.
"So, uh, I"m kind of wondering if you want to like, hang out or something. Anywhere works. I just need some company." (Bella who?)
"Sire! You could come by my house today after school and we can catch up. Do you like cars?" He asked.
"Depends." I laughed in response.
"Well, you can come help me too. I like to re-build them."
"Sounds like a plan."
Emmett Cullen:
(for this one you are a vampire already, and yes I basically stole Rosalie's life. Also, if I get facts wrong, don't come for me, just tell me *kindly* and I will fix it)
I became a vampire in 1920. Two years after my brother Edward, and one year before my mother Esme.
I'd been a vampire for 15 years already. How time flies
One day I was running through the forest when I heard screams coming from a small patch. I sprinted towards the place, and saw a boy, probably 20, getting attacked by a bear. I shoved the bear off of him instantly, and bit into it, getting it's blood.
I remembered that the boy was watching, and was probably shaken up, not to mention, he was most likely dying. I turned back towards him, wiping a small bit of blood off of my lip, and said,
"Hello, I'm Y/N Cullen."
"E-Emmet. How did you do that?" He asked, very weakly.
"I have my ways. What hurts?" I asked.
"Everything." Of course-
"I'll be right back. Don't move." Not that he really could. I sprinted back to my house. I opened the door, and Carlisle, Esme, and Edward turned towards me.
"Y/N? What is it?" Carlisle asked.
"There's a boy, Emmett. He got attacked by a bear. He's very weak. You need to turn him Carlisle."
They all sprinted into the woods, and I led them towards where Emmett lay. He was still there, but weaker.
Jasper Hale:
(you're a vampire)
Jasper became a vampire in 1863. (I think)
He was telling me his story.
I had recently been turned into a vampire by Carlisle, after he rescued me, and I hadn't really met the rest of the family yet. (You can make up why you had to become a vampire)
When Jasper had finished the story, I said, "Wow."
"That's all I could get out. His story was just, wow....
I forgot, Edward could read my mind. I only remembered when he chuckled after I thought that.
I gave him an internal glare.
Bella was sitting in the corner, with him.
"So, Y/N, tell us your full story." Jasper smiled.
(Sorry, his is kind of short..)
Carlisle Cullen:
It was my first day working at the Forks Hospital and I needed some directions.
I walked up to mid-height man, with blonde hair, and very pale skin.
"Hello, sir?" I asked him, and he spun around.
"Yes, Ms. Y/L/N?" He asked.
"H-how do you know my last name?" I asked in response.
"I heard someone talking about you coming, and you're the only new face around here. We don't get them often." He smiled, and my heart fluttered. Good thing he wasn't like a super-hearer or anything. {;)}
"Well, uhm, I was just wondering where the surgical ward is?" He pointed towards the left, and I smiled slightly, walking away, and quietly looking back at him after I was sure he couldn't see me.
Alice Cullen:
(You had already seen Alice before, but never interacted with her much, like most of the students)
I was walking around in the forest, when I heard footsteps.
"Hello?" I called out.
"Y/N!" A girl replied, I noticed it was Alice Cullen.
"Oh, hello, Alice." I was a bit confused to how she knew my name, but to be honest, I knew her's too and that's a bit strange. But, everyone does talk about the Cullens.
"What are you doing out here in the forest?" She asked me. I didn't have a valid answer. I could say "Just felt like taking a stroll..." or "Oh, I'm working on my steps." but, none of those were true, I really didn't know what I was doing here.
"Uhm, working on my steps, and taking a stroll....??" I questioned myself.
"Oookay then. Would you like to come with me? I can show you some of my favorite spots to relax." The way she said relax made me think she wasn't relaxing, and probably meant running around and exercising. Just what I needed.
"Sure, sounds great." I smiled.
Rosalie Hale:
Everyone that lives in Forks knows about the Cullens. Even the people in the reservation.
There's the three boys, the goofy one, the silent one, and the constipated one.
Then there's the two girls. Alice and Rosalie.
I've talked to Alice, we've said hi.
But in general, I know nothing about Rosalie.
All I know is she is incredibly smart, beautiful, and did I mention gorgeous?
I've never had the guts to talk to her. Maybe it's that I'm a wimp, or maybe it's that she is very intimidating. Probably a mixture of both.
But today, I got lucky, and didn't have to talk to her. She talked to me.
I had noticed her eyeing me a few times, and I never knew if she was looking down on me, in a bad way, or if she was interested in me. Both ways scared me.
Today, she came up to me.
I was sitting at the lunch table with Angela and Jessica, and the new kid, Bella.
"Y/N, can I talk to you really quick?" She asked.
"Uh, uh, yes, yes, sure." I stood up quickly, and while walking away with her, I turned towards Angela and Jess, and they smiled and winked.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Well, I wanted to know... did you want to hang out sometime?"
"Like, a date...?"
"Uh, yeah. Like a date." She smiled and we both laughed.
"Sure." I smiled back.
Bella Swan:
Apparently, today Chief Swan's daughter is moving to the school.
I'm looking forward to it, I want to make more friends.
I was standing outside, waiting to see if I spotted her, when a big, orange-red truck pulled into the parking lot.
It must be her! I've never seen that truck before.
I ran up to it, when I saw people laughing at it. Whatever, I think it's cool.
She climbed out of her truck, and I probably startled her, standing there.
"Hi! I'm Y/N Y/L/N. You're Chief Swan's daughter, right?" I asked.
"Uh, yes. Bella Swan." She stuck out her hand, and I shook it.
"So, do you want to know anything, anything special?" I asked.
"Um, I'm not sure...." She said, tucking her hair behind her ear. (Ugh, a classic Bella move)
"No worries. Let me show you to your first class." I smiled, and took her hand, pulling her down the hallway.
Esme Cullen:
I was walking around town, alone. A kind of dangerous move, since there have been so many mysterious attacks lately.
I was looking through random stores, when I noticed Esme Platt, (we're just saying she isn't a Cullen because I guess they aren't married...????) Carlisle Cullen's old friend. (I don't even know how to write this...)
"Hi, Esme." I said.
"Oh, hello, Y/N." She smiled.
"How have you been?" I haven't seen her in a while. We've talked a few times.
"I've been good, how have you been?" She replied.
"I'm great. We really should catch up sometime." I said, trying to be subtle.
"Yes, we should. Do you want to go to lunch tomorrow?" She asked.
"Of course! Where do you want to go?"
"Don't worry about me. I won't eat much anyway."
******
So, yeah, that's it. I'm aware that these aren't perfection, bur they were fun to write so, yeah!
I will be posting a lot more now since I'm getting really into writing again ;)
Thank you all for reading, (not that a ton of people are going to read this lol)
And yeah, see you soon! :3

WAVES , erik johnson (chapter eight)
note, this is part of the waves series which is part of the heartbreak season series. here's the masterlist if you're interested. kat and erik's relationship is heavily based on jo and alex's relationship from grey's antomy. just if anyone's curious.
another note, can't believe we're already on chapter 8. we still have a ways to go before kat and erik sail off into the sunset, but we're getting there and i'm very excited for it.
pair, erik johnson x oc (kat foley)
summary, the epic love story of kat foley and erik johnson.
warnings, talks of child abandonment and child neglect, talks of drug usage
word count, 1246 words
(gif not mine)
"So..." Mel sang as Kat walked back to her seat with a drink.
"So...?" Kat asked.
"Boyfriend and girlfriend, huh?" Kat smiled, shaking her head, "Oh, look at her. She's blushing!"
"Hush, will you?" Kat playfully glared, "We're keeping it on the DL for now."
"Does Erik know that? Cause he's telling anyone and everyone who'll listen to him." Mel joked.
"He should know," Kat muttered, taking a sip of her beer.
"Well, it's about time. We've only been waiting for you two to get together since you guys met."
"What do you mean?" Kat asked.
"He started calling you his 'cute bartender'." Mel smiled, "He really liked you, and we could see that, but he didn't know how to express that." She explained.
Kat sat in her seat, digesting all the information she had just been told, "Sorry. Did I overstep?" Mel asked.
"No, no. You're good." Kat looked up and genuinely smiled.
-
After the game, Kat was talking with a few other girls while they all waited for the guys to come out. While Mel was digging through her bag for something, she handed Linnea off to Kat, played with the baby.
Linnea had played with Kat at a few games and at some parties before so they weren't strangers. Kat was swaying with Linnea in her arms as she talked with Mel.
Erik walked out and scanned the small hallway, looking for Kat. He finally spotted her, then his eyes quickly drifted over to the small child in her arms.
Both his heart and eyes softened as he watched Kat and his goddaughter, "Move, dude." Mikko shoved past him.
Erik realized he was still standing in the doorway, and moved out of the way. His legs moved towards Kat before he knew what he was doing.
"Hey." Kat and Mel turned to face him.
"Hi." Kat smiled, "You ready to go?"
Erik was too stunned to speak as his eyes shifted between Kat's smiling face and Linnea's, "Erik, you okay?" Mel teased.
"Huh?" He asked, his eyes drifting away from Linnea's giggling face, back to Mel's, "Yeah." He nodded.
"You ready to go?" Kat repeated.
"Yeah." He nodded, scratching the back of his neck. She tickled Linnea once more, before handing the baby back to her mother.
"Bye, silly girl." Kat beamed, waving to the little girl. Linnea was a giggly mess but waved back, hiding her face in her mother's neck.
Kat and Erik made their way back to Erik's car. Erik was still in a daze after seeing Kat with Linnea. Kat had, of course, interacted with kids before, but something about seeing her with Linnea did something to him and he wasn't sure what it was.
-
Since Kat was working, Erik decided to tag along and help her out. He couldn't get behind the bar, but he would help her bust tables and help serve guests from the other side of the bar. The night was great, and Erik helped her out more than some of the newer workers who were recently hired.
While Erik wiped down the tables, Kat was working on sweeping. The bells above the door jingled, but neither looked up, "Oh, sorry, we're..." She cut herself off when she saw who was standing in the entryway.
"Wow, I've rendered her speechless." The woman spoke smugly, "It's been a while, Emily."
Kat winced, "That's not my name." She spoke through gritted teeth.
Erik looked between both women confused, "Ahh, right. Kat Foley, right?" She scoffed, "Hated us so much you had to change your name." She nitpicked.
"What're you doing here, Talia?" Kat asked, her voice stronger than it was two seconds ago.
"Talia? Usually, people call their mother "mom." The woman scoffed again.
"Mother?" Erik asked.
"You must be the boyfriend." Her mother looked over to Erik.
"Yeah, I'm-"
"What are you doing?" Kat cut Erik off, crossing her arms.
"No, no, let the man finish." Talia crossed her arms back, "What's your name?"
"Erik."
"Ah, the hockey player. We've heard so much about you."
"From who?" Kat asked, her brows coming together in confusion.
"We've seen some stuff on the internet. You don't think we don't keep tabs on our daughter?"
Kat shook her head, "What're you doing here?" She repeated.
"Well, you see, your father and I-"
"No, get out." Kat cut her off right away, "I'm not giving you money." She shook her head.
"Oh, come on. After everything we've done for you?"
"Everything you've done? You've done nothing for me. You gave me nothing." Kat scoffed angrily, "Actually, no, you did give me something. You showed me how not to parent my kids." She gave her mother the harshest glare she could.
"I never want them to feel the same way I did when I was 5, watching my parents get high with their friends, then party till 4 in the morning. I never want them to have to worry about when their next meal is gonna be on the table cause mom and dad spent dinner money on drugs."
"So, yeah, mom, thanks for giving me that, 'cause that's not something any other parent I know can give their kids." She narrowed her eyes, "Now get the hell out of my bar."
"Oh, come on."
"You heard the lady. Get out." Erik told her.
Talia looked at Kat as if she was saying "You gonna let this idiot talk to me this way?"
"Get out," Kat repeated, venom dripping from her voice. Talia scoffed, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
The moment she was out of the bar, Kat's shoulders dropped, as well as her strong-tough demeanor. She let out a deep breath and fell to the ground, dropping her head in her hands.
"Kat?" Erik asked, approaching her carefully, "You okay?" The only response he got was a broken sob, "Kat." He dropped to the ground next to her and wrapped his arms around you.
"You're okay." He whispered, pressing a kiss to her head and holding her close, letting her cry, "It's gonna be okay."
After a few minutes, she calmed down her breathing and she was no longer heaving through sobs, "Hey, you're okay." Erik cupped her face.
"I'm not." She shook her head, wiping her eyes, "I'm never okay. I'm never gonna be "okay"." She used quotation marks, "God, I thought by getting away, things would get better and my life would be better, but I was so wrong."
"You did get away from them. Look at this life you built without them." He gestured to the bar.
"I don't want to be serving up drinks for the rest of my life, Erik." Kat looked him in the eyes with so much truth it almost scared him.
"I know, but think of it this way. This is just a stepping stone to the rest of your life. You're not gonna be here forever, this is just you kicking off the wall in the pool. One day, I know you're gonna be doing bigger and much better things."
"You think so?" She sniffled.
"I know." He corrected.
She smiled, wiping her eyes again and wrapping her arms around him, "One more question." Kat nodded, pulling away.
“Who's Emily?" Kat stiffened, wracking her brain, trying to think of something.
"It's my middle name. They would call me by my middle name." She answered.
"Huh." He nodded, "Didn't know you had a last name."
"You never asked." She shrugged.
