In Too Deep (Arven x GN!Reader) | Ch. 3*
Rating: Mature/Explicit
Summary: “I nudge my way through his forest of hair and latch onto his throat – wanna give him the same pseudo-bolt strike he hit me with earlier. Gooserene bumps sprout along his skin at the first lick.
Desiring more than that from him, I trail my dominant hand down his broad neck; his strong, stocky chest; and his cute, slightly chubby belly. Finally, I gently cup him through his sweatpants.”
Author’s Note: My headcanon age for Arven is that he’s a young adult, somewhere between 20-24 years old. If this proves to be wrong in the future, please consider him to be aged up to this range!
Likewise, for the sake of the continuity (i.e. Little Buddy and whatnot), you have a similarly tiny stature to the main character in Pokémon SV. For the sake of all of us, your character here is not a teenager lol, but instead roughly the same age as Arven, give or take a few years.
Thank you for understanding!! ^^ Enjoy the final chapter, please let me know what you think, and take care! x
Check it out on ao3!
Prev
“As if I’d ever want to stop.” 
While Arven speaks, he shimmies my pants down just below my butt, and squishes it in both hands. Then, in one swift motion, he lifts me slightly up and lays me down in the grass, slipping my shorts off me entirely. 
As he gets a good view at my lower half for the first time, he looks amazed. Arven wastes no time putting his dominant hand to work, simultaneously nipping and kneading at my thighs. 
“Ahh–Arven!”
I’m fucking mesmerized by how he appears to know exactly where to press to make me quake. Enamored by how well he’s catching onto my responses already. And I sure as hell don’t miss the way his eyes darken, while he drinks in the sight of me writhing and moaning beneath his touch. 
“Look at you,” he mumbles. “Am I really doing that alright?” 
“Fuck,” I curse under my breath, nodding at him. “You’re perfect.”
Now that he’s made sure I’m thoroughly enjoying what he’s done so far, Arven kisses his way across my thigh before putting his mouth on me. His tongue is magical. I instinctively buck into Arven’s lips, and deciding that he wants more control, he splays a hand across my stomach to hold me down. Even without my guidance, he sucks and licks in all the right ways. 
Just as he did with his hands, Arven’s paying attention to every twitch of my hips; reading every expression on my face, as if it’s an instruction manual; squeezing on the soft skin of my side and tummy any time my eyes stray from him, to silently remind me that I’m all his. 
He sends me over the edge way sooner than I’d expected. That piercing, hungry gaze bores into mine as I cum, running my fingers through his fringe and moaning his name like a prayer. 
As I finish, I trail my gaze up to the cloudy night sky. Post-nut clarity reminds me that we’re thousands of feet below mainland Paldea. Who woulda thunk that this is where I’d pull my crush and take his virginity?
I easily shake the thought from my head and watch with hearts in my Arceus-forsaken eyes as Arven eats me clean. Overstimulating me so well. I shudder and groan some more, cursing under my breath.
“Please,” I whisper. Wanting him to fill me so badly but not being able to verbalize it through the sensations. Arven hums inquisitively against me, sending vibrations through my body. “Need you.” 
Smirking, he brings his body up over mine. His forearms rest on either side of my head and his hips between my legs while he kisses my lips, then my forehead, and then whispers how good I’m being for him. Arven grinds against me, pulling another whine from my throat while I melt at his praise. 
Continuing to rut his clothed, hardened nether against mine, he teases, “I wonder what everyone would think if they saw their rough and tough new Champ being such an angel for me.” 
My hands move up from their spot against Arven’s chest, and I wrap my arms around his neck. 
“Don’t care what they’d think.”
I nudge my way through his forest of hair and latch onto his throat – wanna give him the same pseudo-bolt strike he hit me with earlier. Gooserene bumps sprout along his skin at the first lick… off to a good start! Desiring more than that from him, I trail my dominant hand down his broad neck; his strong, stocky chest; and his cute, slightly chubby belly. Finally, I gently cup him through his sweatpants. 
…Holy shit, he’s so thick.
Arven sighs my name, preceded by a quiet “Fuck,” as I trail my fingers up and down the outline of his shaft. 
When I notice a wet spot of precum seeping through the fabric, I halt tending to his neck, unable to stop my lips from curling up. I take the silent encouragement as a sign that it’s okay to push his pants down. Arven obliges by elevating his hips slightly, and as his cock springs free, it bounces once against my leg with a satisfying tap. 
I don’t waste time getting back to it, eager to feel what he’s like without anything in the way. I trace each vein, toy with the head, and tease light pumps along his length. Memorizing his shape while he breathes pleasured sighs and hums against my shoulder. Arceus, he sounds so sexy. This angle is tedious — I have to reach between our laid bodies, and don’t have much room to work — but I guess I’m doing fine. 
“Hold on.” 
Oh. Or not. 
I promptly stop, hoping I didn’t do anything to sour his experience. “You okay?”
He nods. “Yeah, I’m…” he laughs, and it sounds a little shaky. “I don’t wanna cum before I can fuck you,” Arven mutters, lifting his head to get a better view of my face. “But this feels so amazing, and–” Feeling evil, I give him a little squeeze. “Shit, stop that!” I stick out my tongue while he laughs, bushy brows downturned.
“Sorry…”
“No you’re not.”
“No I’m not,” I confirm with a goofy grin. 
I fidget with Arven’s tee shirt so that I’m not tempted to mess with him some more. He continues to look down at me, making me feel a little self-conscious after a few seconds pass. I tear my eyes from his with a slight tilt to the side.
“W-what?”
Shifting his weight further onto his left arm, he brings his right palm to my face, lifting it softly to look back up at him. “That smile is…” Arven leans down, and finishes his sentence while barely brushing against my lips. “So goddamn beautiful.” 
Oh.
He closes the gap and places a soft few kisses on my lips. My heart flutters in my heaving chest while I smile through the contact, feeling unbelievably giddy…
And then my eyes shoot back open while I squeak out a surprised (and loud) moan. Just when I thought we were having a sappy moment, Arven slipped into me. That sneaky bitch.
“Gotcha,” he grunts through a cocky smirk that’s only betrayed by his upturned brow. 
I wanna rebuttal, but my “Fuck you!” morphs into an “Oh god,” halfway through, rendering it a lost cause. Arven eases his way further in and we groan in unison. 
“S-so tight, fuck.”
Our breaths struggle in tandem as he bottoms out, my eyes not leaving the sight of him inside me. Something I’ve felt like a creep daydreaming about all this time is finally coming to fruition. I look up and notice Arven watching too… maybe he was thinking the same things all along. 
We take a few moments to gather our bearings, his forehead resting upon mine. I hold my hand against his bangs to keep them from falling directly into my eyes, and I wordlessly let him know that I’m ready for him to move whenever he is by offering a small nod. Arven’s eyes scan my face. As he eases his way out, I bite my lip with anticipation while studying his expression. Thrusting back in, only slightly less slowly than the first time, I lose sight of him. My eyes roll shut, and the grip that isn’t in Arven’s hair is breaking apart the poor grass below us. He pauses again, and I open my eyes to see his shut as well.
“You okay?” I whisper, softly rubbing my thumb against his temple. 
Arven opens his eyes as he nods, then laughs quietly. “Didn’t think my first time would be like this.”
“Like… in a good way?” Answering me through actions, Arven inches out more assuredly before snapping his hips against me. “Shit!” 
“No,” he rolls his eyes to emphasize his sarcasm, picking up his pace. “This is terribleooh fuck.”
Arven plasters his lips onto mine as he finishes moaning my name, swallowing my desperate whimpers. He feels so fucking good. 
Lewd slaps and soft spoken profanities fill the night air. They’re the only things that can be heard – the crashing waterfalls further down the Great Crater and the occasional chirp of wild Pokémon nearby pale in comparison.
Growing sweaty from all the activity, Arven slips out for a moment to lean up and take off his shirt. I’ve always assumed I’d see his half-naked form at some point, but at, like, the beach or something. Never thought I’d be blessed with it occuring in this context. I don’t shy away from leaning on my elbows and drinking in his body, obsessed with how… normal he looks, in the sexiest sense of the word. 
There are patches of short body hair freckling his torso – shaved recently enough that it’s barely there, but long enough ago that it’s beginning to grow back. He has a soft yet sturdy physique, courtesy of all the time he spends eating his delicious creations and exercising via outdoor expeditions. And his bare skin is kissed with pretty little birthmarks, in places never seen by eyes other than his own before now. 
He’s so, so stunning.
I come up to a kneel and steal Arven’s mouth again. Feeling his unclothed chest, tummy, and sides; tasting every bud of his tongue that he allows me; craving every single inch of him. I only retract to slink my own shirt off.
Arven pulls away and mutters some Paldean that I don’t understand under his breath, as his hands roam my body. A soft breeze blows by us as he trails up my sides, thumbing at my nipples and scratching my back with the other eight fingernails. Can’t tell if my prickling skin is because of the wind, or his touch. For the upteenth time tonight, our lips meet, but this time he’s simultaneously laying down and pulling me on top of him. 
Feeling way too eager, I sink myself onto Arven’s cock as soon as we’re comfortable. We both shiver with each bounce I make, and he squeezes my hips tightly while I utilize his chest as leverage. I lean my upper half forward, moving one of my hands to the ground beside him. I then trail my free fingers across his jawline, hovering my lips just above his while I tug his chin up towards me, without closing the gap.
He mewls my name into my mouth, followed by the most earnest “Holy shit~” I’ve ever heard from him. I fill his own jaw with unintelligible swearing and moaning, drunk off his hands, his husky voice, and how full I am.
“You’re s-so fucking thick,” I murmur through hooded eyelids, swallowing through a deep breath before I continue. “Feels s’good.” 
As if my words were the pep talk he needed, Arven takes back the lead. He lifts my hips a little higher than I’ve been bringing them, allowing himself to buck up into me as he cups my face against his. His pumps are borderlining erratic, and the wanton noise that comes from my throat has me worrying that Nemona, and Penny, and the fucking Professor – wherever they are – will all hear this.
Struggling to speak through his own moans, Arven drowns me in praise. “Listen to you, making such cute sounds for me.” I nearly die. “Y’feel so perfect around me…” Oh Arceus. “You like it when I fuck you this hard, little buddy?” 
I snort through the pleasure, and then we both fall into a fit of giggles as we realize how weird it sounds for him to call me that in this context. Our foreheads crash into each other as we both keel over a bit, him forming into a crunch while my body folds inward. All the while, Arven doesn’t stop ramming into me, which just makes things funnier. 
I vigorously nod as I lift my head, brushing it off. Don’t care if it’s strange that he called me “little buddy” while [redacted] inches deep inside me, because frankly, it would be weirder for him to stop calling me that. My cheeks hurt from laughing, while fucked-out tears filter my vision. 
“I love it, Arven,” I lilt, both our smiles refusing to falter. “Please don’t fucking stop!”
I gently place my forehead on his, my hands clutching his shoulders for dear life while I gaze into his murky aquamarine orbs. Arven squeezes his hand between us to tend to my front. Working with newly familiar territory while repeating his earlier commendations of how good I am, how much of an angel I am, how tight I am. He seeks reassurance too, and works me harder and faster as I tell him how incredible he is. 
“M’gonna… oh god, Arven, holy fuck!”
Arven wrings another orgasm out of me, patiently fucking me through it while putting off his own. As I’m coming down from my high, my sweaty chest pressed against his, I nuzzle myself into the crook of his neck. I sleepily mutter sweet nothings through more overstimulation. In between soft kisses, I add, “Want you to cum too… please.”
My name is mewled by a raw voice, followed by “Fuuuh— where? Quickly.”
“Anywhere,” I pause to unleash a moan I couldn’t keep pent up. “Please cum for me, just use me~”
Another throaty moan comes from him, and he slams into me a few more times, no longer holding back. It’s utterly animalistic. Not that I’d complain.
He pulls me off, and I scoot down to kiss his hips while jerking him through his completion. I take note of how Arven twitches and humps slightly into my grasp. Watch him scan my body and movements without shame. His elbows are propping him up, and the sexiest expression I’ve ever seen is adorning his face. Once he’s done, I begin to lick him clean of the thick ropes painting his stomach, prompting a surprised gasp.
“What?” I mumble, suddenly feeling embarrassed at how impulsively I did that. Good god. “S’not like we have a rag or anything down here…” I trial off with a poor attempt to cover my actions.
He laughs, shaking his head. “No, you’re… oh Arceus that was so hot, c’mere.”
Arven sits up and motions for me to get closer to him. I oblige, wrapping my arms around his neck while his consume my waist.
“That was amazing,” he murmurs against my shoulder. “Love you.” 
This isn’t the first time he’s said it, nor will it be the first time I’ve said it back, but it’s only ever been — or at least seemed to be — platonic. This exchange takes on a whole new meaning now.
“Love you too, bud… Love you so much.”

The stages so far of me binging the entirety of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries (spoilers if you haven’t watched it before):
1. “Yeah, the 1920s hasn’t ever really been your preferred vibe, but so many of your friends like this show, and you love ‘Clue’ which seems similar, so just bite the bullet and go.”
2. “Wait, they’re Australian? What? Did I know this before and forgot?”
3. “Ohhhh right, Miranda Otto was in this! I did know that. And she’s a cocaine lord?! Nice. Don’t get to see her in many villain roles.”
Tumblr media
4. *first scene with Phryne & Jack* “Oh, he has a very nice deep voice, okay I see I see mmmhm okay. … Why is so he so sulky, though? Big ‘who hurt you’ vibes. Intriiiiigue… “
5. “OH dEaR oh mY, there is banter and cheeky looks, this is bad, coDE RED, pretty sure this is your LAST chance to exit before this becomes a #problem.”
Tumblr media
6. *does not exit* *becomes a #problem*
7. “Oh, so she’s gonna be banging lots of men with no emotional attachment (when there is clearly some tragic past hiding under the surface as to why that might be)? So an emotionally damaged woman who copes with her traumas by deflecting said emotions through sex and other various reckless behaviors? Babe… *cups face gently* babe, babe, babe. You’ve made this beyond a problem now. Because every little glimpse of vulnerability among your extremely out-of-hand savior complex is gonna make me fall in love with you more and more… just like the tall, broody inspector man over there (who still has a very nice voice and sad, kind eyes and who you seem to be afraid of being smitten with for ~*some reason*~). Anyway, Jack and I, we’re both fucked.”
8. Wdym they both have traumas from the war & from past relationships, that they both witnessed an unimaginable amount of loss, and that both are broken so deeply that they built fortresses of ice around their hearts to protect themselves AND YET BOTH OF THEM THAW JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE WITH THEIR EVERY INTERACTION? Fuck OFF! This is not FAIR!
9. “Miss Fisher was actually on her way home.” He said that with a fully clenched jaw and a step forward. Fuuuuccckk, there’s gonna be smoldering jealousy, too? Just slap me in the face, the amount of longing I’m about to witness… Jack, it’s okay buddy, we’re in this together. There’s something special about you and she’s gonna figure it out… after what appears to be several seasons and perhaps a feature film. But she’ll figure it out! Stay strong, soldier! I’m rooting for you!
10. “Oh God, her little sister was murdered. As someone who loves my own sister dearly, that’s fucking awful, this is hurting me deeply, and I really do not like it. 🥺 … AND THE MURDERER IS DUE TO BE RELEASED? AbSoLUTELY not! … WDYM THERE’S ALSO AN ABUSIVE EX?! And he’s come back to MURDER HER over a naked painting of her younger self like a fucking CREEP?!*”
Tumblr media
(*not a correct summarization of what happened, but not not correct)
Anyway, I found the tragic past!
11. “Abusive ex is played by Peter O’Brien? With a ‘French’ accent? *snort* I mean, okay, it’s a choice. Anyway… what a douche… moving on… “
12. Aw, they kissed! *claps* And so soon! I mean, it was under horrible circumstances, but it happened… and with lingering looks to boot? You know what, I’ll take it. ‘Cause, I mean, look at them… and like let’s not talk about the juxtaposition of Phryne’s panic over seeing someone who once hurt her being redirected by a kiss from someone who would never hurt her… and Jack subsequently lunging for an armed René to stop him from taking Phryne… we’ll just ignore that for now
Tumblr media
13. Felt the “I am not afraid of you” in my bones. Good shit.
14. “You kissed me. … You kissed me back!” Children, please. This is a Wendy’s.
Tumblr media
This is as far as I’ve gotten, but omg what a fun ride so far. Friends who tried to recommend this to me for YEARS, I am SO sorry I slept on it. I understand now and your taste is impeccable. *muah*

2023 Year Results
I have lost my ranking of favorite Thai BL/QLs that I made during half of the year, so I'm just going to write it anew^^
My Top BLs by the end of 2023:
1. Be My Favorite
2. Moonlight Chicken
3. Not Me
4. The Eclipse
5. Semantic Error (or if we talk only Thai series, then Bad Buddy!)
Honorable mentions: Only Friends, SOTUS, Laws of Attraction, Kieta Hatsukoi, My Ride...
I keep changing the places and Moonlight Chicken held such a strong place in my heart but now I'm also taking into account whether I liked all pairings and characters, so BMF finally took over. But I still can't decide whether The Eclipse is higher than Not Me, I might rewatch it endlessly but Not Me was a cultural reset :D As well as Semantic Error who's done so good and finally broke through the typical Korean BL setting and public's favor.
Bad Buddy has done amazingly as well but there are only 5 places in Top 5 ranking 🥲 I guess, the Our Skyy just dimmed my good memories about it a little bit x)
I love how this year we got shows that have expanded beyond the borders of usual BLs, they added mystery and mystic, action, time travelling, sitcom etc, mixed gentes, kept speaking out about many important things - from marriage legalisation to equal rights - that definitely had its own impact on real life, actors went on many fanmeetings overseas, from West to East, and overall... This was a good year, story and fandom wise.
Tumblr media
My Fanfic Statistics
I stopped writing metas and somewhat distanced myself from the fandom when I felt that my views often didn't align with majority (and also got shadowbanned by tumblr?), but I wrote ~ 80k words on AO3 and drew >10-15 arts that I really enjoyed. I still have many wips so look forward to them!
I wrote way too many Only Friends fics whole I watched the show xD This was definitely a show that gave out ideas (and sometimes outrage) and lots of angst.
But Not Me fics are still my number one (though mostly because of all the crossovers with other series I keep writing about)
Also somehow Bad Buddy OT4 fic is now the longest fanfic I've ever written (both in Neglish and my native language). And it's still not finished but tbh even I don't know exactly how it will end, that's how self-indulgent this is but I'm so happy rhat many people were excited about this idea with me!
My Fandom
I also had a blast having various discussions in my own small community and people who wanted to share opinions and watch series together. You guys keep inspiring and supporting me in exploring many ideas, drawing art and writing many fics, I truly admire and adore you all, especially my fam @springkitten @xagan and also @thepancakelady @wereflamingo (I'm surprised how often we agreed with each other on somethjng but that's what makes discussions interesting xD).
Also I want to hug bad buddy server was a joyful discover this year too that inspired me to start learning Thai, our not me server that keeps being my safe comfort space and many hugs to some tumblr folks who I talk in replies and reblogs (I am truly bad at remembering usernames but if I ever chatted with you here, I am definitely thinking about you and your profile picture <3)
Tumblr media
Here's to 2024 and more projects
I also started my FirstKhao AU visual novel, and though I thought I would be able to make it in a month or two and then got struck by Health Doing Bad for a long time, I'm definitely determined to finish it next year.
And we keep talking about making Poetry Zines with @springkitten inspired by lakorns/bls we watched and I'd like to try and make it happen 👀
I also want to return to commissions in a better way, because of political situation I haven't been able to continue drawing for my foreign friends but thanks to my other friends who are generous to help me with handling finances for me, I might be able to start drawing requests again! I also spent like 5 months fixing my health that kept me from creating I want to finish old ones and I'm really itching to return to drawings and other projects :D
And I have in my mind mastering pixel and 3d art as a part of my Changing Profession and Career Path in 2024 so let's hope I can lighten up everyone's mood with cooler art and animations 👀
Happy New Year and Happy holidays, everyone!

Some of my favorite (recent-ish) Thai bl were:
Bad Buddy: if I'm going to recommend any coming of age romcom college set bl it's this one. The way it uses so many staple tropes in a fresh way, Ohm and Nanon are great actors and really bring a whole other level of energy, the actual conflict in the story is very realistic and heavy and a real topic I think a lot of young adults deal with regarding their families and expectations. So it's mostly romantic comedy, but the heavy moments resonate so that it doesn't really feel unrealistic. It's very high brightness overly kind of fantastical rather than real in presentation and tropes used (quite common in fluff bl like 2gether and My School President and Theory of Love etc), but the chemistry of the leads feels executed very realistically and again the actual delivery of tropes and conflicts feels very grounded in a way. Highly recommended to most peoples tastes tbh (and special mention to My School President, while it was a little Too fluffy for my tastes, it also did a balance of romcom and a grounded heart to the conflicts which I think is part of why it had such big appeal, along with really solid leads that are going to be bringing a lot to any project they work on in the future)
Never Let Me Go: THE action bl as of recently. Gave me everything I could ask, from the leads in The Gifted Graduation bringing their acting game with roles that let them truly show off what they can do, to a high body count of murders and action scenes, mafia sons falling in love with people oh so different from them, a batman esque lead, rich boy falls for poor bodyguard whipping boy trope but also Not quite because the show Really wants to comment on class issues and inequality and makes sure the audience gets the point (a core issue in the relationship is how to be equals given who they are), and a reference to the quote about soulmates that Xena Warrior Princess also uses. It also has Chimon. It's also aesthetically pleasing af. Idk what to tell you, I love when Jojo directs something and this Gave me WAY more than I thought I could get. I'm happy to say that in the post Not Me world we are seeing more action romance bls, not just romcom/fluff ones (though there's always plenty of those too). I personally am eagerly hoping this trend continues and we keep getting at least a few action romance bls a year like this one, Kinnporshe, Manner of Death, Not Me. I've started Laws of Attraction and that's looking similarly promising. (And while I highly recommend Not Me the series, one of my top shows PERIOD... I'm only listing newer shows than that right now).
The Eclipse: this show was exactly what I'd hope it would deliver, and more frankly (because I was hoping for at minimum the Blacklist quality and at max dream hopes The Gifted quality). Well it delivered closer to The Gifted. Politically heavy, really well done in that regard from the overt to the subtle, amazing entire ensemble cast (even the side actors are strong actors that have been in other things), Khaotung and First are both particularly amazing (Khaotung impresses me no matter what role he's given frankly). Aesthetically it's exactly what you'd hope if your hopes like mine were The Gifted but only real evil people no mutants, and explicitly gayer. If you perhaps are willing to have a high school setting, but very much do Not want fluff dominant story and instead a tense mystery with at least half the characters already out and proud queer people (but still some of the cute romance tropes executed a bit less fluffily) then this may be your jam.
Moonlight Chicken: if you'd like multigenerational queer stories, centering on a family slice of life realism piece, this show is <3. The second main pairing is the same actors from My School President and I think they really shine here where the romance relies less on tropes and the dialogue is more realistic so the intensity of scenes really leans on actors. I love their characters in this and they stole the show for me. The first main pairing is messy and adult, with adult problems (like actual ones not just romantic drama: like raising a nephew, running a store, working for a company that's destroying your lovers neighborhood). But also not actually that messy, I'd say in terms of messy it's for the most part wholesome and soft. If you liked 1000 Stars (I did) then this shows realistic slice of life feel will be comfortable and homey, and the amount of skinship in this show is less conservative for even more of a cozy natural feeling.
And the one I'm most anticipating coming out: Only Friends. Khaotung and First lead it, so I'm basically certain the main story will be absolute gold (since I eat up every role they play their acting is just <3 like dude I watched the Shipper for First okay and 5555 Never too Late for Khaotung which was an Amazing show btw). Now.. Only Friends is directed by Jojo (yay for me) and in theory it IS going to be as messy as it looks (and it looks at least as messy as Friendzone). So if Moonlight Chicken is too fluffy and tame for you, then you might want this show on your radar. I think it is slated for August but I'm not sure as I try not to get too hype for things until theyre out so I avoid most news.

Noticing things in my rewatch of Ted Lasso
So, what can I say, Ted Lasso is the thing I've latched onto this time. My immediate family have been watching this show while I have, actually, and this is the ONLY piece of media we all can agree on liking. In all my years of existence I never thought such a piece of media existed. Okay, so rewatching seasons 1 and 2 after season 3 (because you've gotta capitalise on the Apple TV+ subscription lasting 1 month) is pretty interesting and here are the main things that have stuck out to me:
1. Jamie and Roy tend to get along pretty well even in season 1, when they're not actively at each other's throats. In the episode with the charity gala, we actually see from the beginning how much they have in common. They're both very direct and on-point with why they hate each other, and only when faced with each other's direct reasons do they admit to them being somewhat true. They both view each other as arrogant, but when called out on their own arrogance they find it easier to admit it to each other. For 2 players who see themselves as being 'great' in some sense, they understand each other and know that their feelings about each other are mirrored. Even if they still despise the other person. There's also the fact we know Roy used to be a bit like Jamie when he was up-and-coming (a little primadonna b*tch), so they kind-of understand each other in that sense. They also have a similar sense of humour that has roots in insulting each other, to the point where hating each other is actually something they bond on (Jamie smirking and saying "here's to you dying" and Roy genuinely laughs at that because of how prickish it was). They're different forces on the team throughout season 1 (team-player and protector vs selfish star-player) and also contrasted for their ages but they're also paralleled so, so much. I knew they were being paralleled initially but I didn't realise how much until I rewatched that scene and realised how easily they could get along with each other. If this is what they're like when they hate each other's guts, no wonder they're so close when they start begrudgingly appreciating the other.
2. There's a scene in the beginning of the show when Ted fixes the shower pressure in the Richmond locker rooms, and Roy realises this when turning on the shower. Then there's a funny bit after that when Colin walks in and gets knocked to the floor hard by the shower water, right? For some reason he walked straight in looking at the shower head and didn't even look down at the knob to switch it on. Maybe I'm overanalysing but it seems a bit odd to just walk in and push it the full way all while staring towards the ceiling- no matter how low or high the shower pressure is, the water is still going to hit you directly in the face if you stare directly at the shower head! However, if the show was planning all this while for Colin to be gay (which is plausible), this makes a lot of sense given what he says later about "looking down and thinking of global warming". He was looking straight up in this case, but it would make sense why he did not pay attention to what he was doing and got whacked in the face because of it. That's rough buddy.
3. Actually, y'know, speaking of Colin, it also becomes more noticeable on rewatching the series that the footballer we see talk to Dr. Sharon the most is actually him. When she first arrives, afterwards when he recites "I am a strong and capable man, I am not a piece of sh*t" (which is so real of him, me too man), and later when the team plans on going out for drinks- he invites her to join, she agrees to have 1 drink and mentions having a session with him afterwards. He is shown to be really impacted by these sessions too, given he repeats "I am a strong and capable man" numerous times over. Then later he tells Trent in season 3 how those sessions helped him. It's very interesting to me looking back at all of this now, because other than the grindr comment everyone heard and were hoping would pay off in a storyline about being queer in football, I hadn't noticed any of this stuff before! Even if the writers weren't definitely intending for him to be gay in season 1, I feel like season 2 clearly conveys this intent looking back on it. Even in the jokes, there's that bit where Colin's being suffocated by those huge weights he clearly can't hold up not once but twice, and yet continues to use them. His need to appear like he can actually hold up those weights is too heavy and hurting him, the way pretending to be aggressively straight is- lifting heavier weights and physical strength as such is something people connect with being 'more masculine', just as being straight is 'more masculine'. He could just get different weights or something, work his way up, but pretending he can lift these ones is important to him to the point he would continue trying despite it almost suffocating him. Or it's just meant to be a funny joke (which it is), but with this specific character you can interpret it with deeper meaning, which is impressive. It's a really similar thing with how he takes pride in having a fancy lamborghini that is 'way too much car for him' and he cannot drive properly. It's nice to see build-up to this in prior seasons without being based in stereotypes of some sort- it's barely noticeable beforehand but when you watch the prior seasons again, it all tells a story, and I think that makes this some pretty good representation you don't see a lot, especially in media not explicitly marketed to queer people in some form. The effort put into distinguishing and developing its side characters even in the background or in throwaway lines is one of the reasons why this show is so good, in my opinion.
4. At the beginning of season 2, when Jamie talks to Ted about his dad in the bar, he tells Ted he's lucky when Ted says his father was way harder on himself than he ever was on Ted. Ted quirks an eyebrow very quickly and doesn't respond, instead taking a sip of his beer. After knowing about what did happen with Ted's dad, it's something you can interpret either as avoiding the question or as an answer that subconsciously means yes and no. He was lucky to have a dad that was a kind father to him but unlucky because of how his father's harshness towards himself impacted him- whether his father meant for it to or not- and continues to impact him and shape his character through his life (as seen in the scene with his mother at the end of season 3). It really goes to show that you never know what someone else might be going through, or may have gone through; more often than not, it's not about "who's luckier" because you will never truly be able to measure that. Plus, honestly, what's the point in trying? How does that help anyone feel better regarding the actual things hurting them?
5. When the team go to Liverpool to play Everton in season 1, Ted suggests watching a movie or having a pillow fight (strongly favouring the latter). In that episode, they watch a movie, but then later when they go to Amsterdam in season 3 they do actually have a pillow fight! Some real fun continuity there, even it's a shame Ted doesn't get to witness it.
6. So I've already talked about my rewatch of Beard After Hours in more depth here, but another fun little thing I noticed in that is Jane's surname being Payne, which is just really funny to me as a homophone of 'pain'. Almost like a little acknowledgent of her and Beard's constant on-and-off insane relationship causing, well...some amount of pain.
7. There's a bit in season 2 in the episode where Jamie's dad comes to watch the Richmond vs Man City match where it cuts from Sam to Jamie or Jamie to Sam speaking to their dads on their phones (via text or call). Jamie's phone says "Dad" in quotes while Sam's says Dad regularly. Honestly, this one I should've noticed the first time because it requires no extra context but I appreciate the attention to detail with that, showing how differently they view their fathers- Jamie not viewing his father as an actual one and making his dad's role in his life seem smaller by sarcastically not acknowledging him as such (which I quite support him in).
8. I've noticed that in Rebecca's 2 main romance plotlines on the show, AKA with the 2 men she canonically had a significant intellectual and romantic connection with, both of them actually kind of embody what Bantr was trying to do. The idea of texting people with no pictures so that people connect on the basis of who they are with their brains ("where minds can come to undress"). Both with Sam and the Dutchman in Sunflowers (S3E6), when they were connecting, neither of them knew anything about the other's status or public image (and not their names), and connected first and foremost through their thoughts. Given how Rebecca's relationship with Rupert and her rivalry with Rupert takes place very heavily on a public stage, it makes sense that this would be contrasted with a more private form of love as that's what Rebecca needs. Her job involves being widely recognised, dealing with the press, having to respond publicly to everything Rupert does and deal with him at public events such as the gala regularly. His presence in her life is public and shadows her everywhere in the public, connected greatly with her public image. When she is not recognised as Ms. Welton, now owner of AFC Richmond and ex-wife of Mr. Mannion- when she is free of the pressures of people knowing her name and fame, that is when she is able to let go of her anger surrounding Rupert and come into her own as Rebecca in her relationships with other people.
9. Roy's voice seems to change through the season 2, getting a lot harsher and hoarser I believe. Maybe to show him getting into a more mature role as a coach rather than a player, thus having to play into his 'wisdom of age' and so he sounds a bit older as a result. Like a sign of his character growing into himself as someone who isn't young anymore, and needs to find himself beyond being a footballer his whole life. However, I'm not entirely sure why or if this is a reason, maybe this was a choice just for the heck of it or Brett Goldstein deciding that suited Roy and growing into Roy like that.
10. I was rewatching the end of S1E1 when Ted's on the phone with Michelle, saying, "that's what I'm doing though, I'm giving you that space," but after a pause he has to say "yeah, and myself, right", presumably after Michelle said so. I love how this implies that Michells feels that Ted either needs space from her as well after the experiences of therapy and all that, but also that she wants Ted to need the space from her because she doesn't want to be the one person splitting up this family. It has to be a thing that is necessary and healthy for them both, otherwise it'd feel like she caused him to do something that helps her but not him in this relationship. Their relationship, for the most part, has been shown as an example of a healthy marriage and divorce. Even when they broke up or were going through-- all this, they cared about each other and how they were doing and made sure to keep their power in their relationship as balanced. The way I see it, Michelle doesn't want to be the reason this relationship is failing, she wants both of them to need space so they can both be different when they meet again and hopefully fall back in love. It also nicely sets up Ted putting other people before himself continuously, where (to Ted) his decision was worth it because he gets to GIVE HER that space: whether he gets any or needs any or WANTS any is irrelevant to him. He did move for her, which puts pressure on her because, again, she cares about him and feels bad for being the reason he's in this situation. To Ted, she matters far more than his own comfort to the point he voluntarily would move all this way away from her just so it might make her happier. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense with Ted's fatal flaw, so to speak, being his desire to make everyone feel loved and comfortable without regard for himself. I have some mixed feelings about Michelle but those relate specifically to her relationship with Dr. Jacob in season 3. I feel like her being a character who cares about Ted and wants her marriage with him to work is very realistic and I'm glad to get a nice/sympathetic understanding of her through season 1.
There are loads of other really subtle details in the show out there that I'm discovering more of by reading other people's meta and watching their videos discussing it. You know it's a good show if the further you go, the more new things you uncover. If I think of anything to add, I'll probably just add it here, and if anyone seeing this has any thoughts on this show or on what I've said, I would love to hear about them please!

𝕓𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕗𝕒𝕤𝕥 𝕒𝕥 𝕥𝕚𝕗𝕗𝕒𝕟𝕪'𝕤 𝕢𝕦𝕠𝕥𝕖 𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕖𝕣𝕤
PART 3. . . . adjusted for general use. . . . change as needed for usage
Tumblr media
I’ll tell him you’re seeing us off. Don’t say anything. Just meet us out front in about an hour. Please?
I’m not coming with you. Come on. Let’s walk together quietly and I’ll try and help you understand.
: That’s alright. I appreciate you want to help.
I know you do, and that’s the trouble.
It’s a mistake you always made — trying to love a wild thing.
You were always lugging home wild things — Once it was a hawk with a broken wing. Another time it was a full-grown wildcat with a broken leg... remember?
You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing.
You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree, then to higher trees, then to the sky.
You’ve got to understand. I can’t come back.
You got to understand what I’m trying to tell you. I don’t want to seem like I’m pressuring you, but it got to.
I’ll take care of him. Don’t you worry.
All right. I guess you know what you’re doing.
Keep an eye on her, will you? At least see she eats something once in a while.
Please, please understand. I love you, but I’m just not that person anymore. I’m not.
I am still that person; 14 years old, stealing turkey eggs, and running through a briar patch.
I guess the next best thing is a drink. Yes, I very much need a drink. Will you buy me one, darling?
Only promise me one thing—don’t take me home until I’m drunk... until I’m very drunk, indeed.
Do you think she’s talented, deeply and importantly talented?
Hmm. No. amusingly and superficially talented, yes, but deeply and importantly, no.
Gracious. Do you think she’s handsomely paid?
Well, let me tell you something. If I had her money, I’d be richer than she is.
Tom, Dick, and Harry—no. correction. Every tom, dick, and Sid—Harry was his friend. Anyway, every tom, dick, and Sid sinks—thinks if he takes a girl to dinner, she’ll just curl up like a kitten, in a little furry ball at his feet, right?
I have by actual count been taken to dinner by 26 different rats in the last 2 months, 27, if you count last week, who’s in many ways a super rat.
So, my darling, I have tonight made a very serious decision.
No longer will I play the field.
The field stinks, both economically and socially, and I’m giving it up.
Quiet, up there. You want to wake the whole house?
Ah... Do I detect a look of disapproval in your eye? Tough beans, buddy, ‘cause that’s the way it’s going to be.
What’s the matter? Don’t you think I can do it? Tell me. Seriously I’m interested. Don’t you think I can?
It’s all up to me. I don’t know why you don’t understand. I need money, and I’ll do whatever I have to do to get it.
I think we should have a little drink to that. It’s all gone. Isn’t that too bad? Got any whiskey upstairs?
No, no. you disapprove of me, and I do not accept drinks from gentlemen who disapprove of me.
So take it. You should be used to taking money from ladies by now.
If I were you, I’d be more careful with my money.
It should take you exactly four seconds to cross from here to that door. I’ll give you two.
I saw the paper, and—well, actually, I’m kind of embarrassed about it, but since it concerns you, I thought I ought to talk about it in person.
Well I can’t go through the whole thing again. It’s sufficient to say, I’ve come to make up.
Would you mind turning around for a second? On second thought never mind. That’s such a corny line anyway. I’ll turn around myself. Come in.
I thought he was just a rat, but he was a super rat all along. A super rat in rat’s clothing. You don’t even know the best part. Not only was he a rat or super rat. Rather he was also broke.
I’ll tell you one thing, darling—I’d marry you for your money in a minute. Would you marry me for my money?

YOOOO pumpkin I posted. the largest tumblr post ever (/exaggeration) to vent a little (i read it all in my head in a matter of fact professor voice. very fun to do and make it less embarrassing! i like presenting my thoughts like someone doing a presentation with proper tone and at least okay-ish grammar lol) and to ramble about a few things and it really helped get things off my chest!!
and i hope my buddy isn’t worrying about me too much. he says i seem down lately, but I feel ok some days, but then I wrote that and realisd I have a lot on my plate. hopefully he knows i am doing ok!! i made sure to include in the post that i am strong and know i can get through this and i am grateful for things coming my way!! and that making a tumblr post to possibly start a conversation or help him understand my brain a bit more is easier than texting to one direct person, because at least with tumblr, IF he sees it, he can just like to let me know he saw, and understand me and my thoughts better, and its easier on my social anxiety to rant to a broad audience on tumblr who don’t know me with the possibility of one person seeing it than to just message one person 28 paragraphs with a guarantee of him seeing it. but i feel much better now!!!
-🍒
- hihi cupcake'! <3 ⭐
oh my god, that's so goood!!
sometimes it's good to just get it out of your head! i tend to do it a lot to help not to overwhelme me so much! <3
& honestly, i understand how you feel 100%
my daddy often checks my posts to make sure i'm doing okay because i don't like burdening others with my problems ~ even if ive known him for nearly four years <3.
i'm glad it made you feel better sweetpea!! <3

you know, before i do any Actual Work today, i just wanna give a quick shout out to me.
i am a spider with autism. i have either 1. not experienced symptoms regarding interpersonal relationships or 2. developed a masking strategy so early on that has reconciled symptoms. either way, i’ve held down successful sales jobs and generally be able to relate to people pretty well.
however, i have an invisible tether to people. it’s strong when i’m close, but if something changes (i move, start a new job, etc) that tether is severed and i don’t remember them. i remember of them, and think about reaching out to them in the shower or while i’m otherwise preoccupied, but i generally let the tie sever. 
a lot of good friendships fizzled. it’s work for me to maintain friendships. i’ve had one best friend that has been in my life for almost 20 years. i met her on neopets when i was 13, and have had the pleasure of meeting her IRL once, and i love her so much. i tried to sever the tether, not on purpose, but it nearly happened; she fought for me. and then i fought for us. it was worth it, and i did it.
but lately in the last 3 or 4 months, i’ve realized i need to start having this attitude about people in my life and in my city. i didn’t just wanna see my friends when my boyfriend was around. that’s not the person or the energy i’m trying to be.
so i started reaching out, especially to two friends in particular that i could feel the tether thinning. so i made it a point to text them, reach out to them. now with one i have a biweekly coffee date, and i have a gym buddy/daily texter in another. both of them are also neurospicy so there’s never any animosity if a text goes unanswered or if someone forgets for a little while. 
i like, have friends in my city, now. i’m starting to see doing things with people as less of an obligation, because i am in more control of the occurrences, and because i am just enjoying other people in my life. letting go of some of those barriers is a good thing.
i know no one’s reading this lmao, but i am happy to mark my own progress regardless. go spider!

got tagged by @energievie for a fun little old school thingy. let’s go.
your name: well. sindirimba. sindi if you're nasty. jen if you want, i am not ashamed of having the same name as 87% of all women in my age and geographic group
your age: i don’t wanna talk about it.
your first fandom(s): roswell (1999). unforch. it wasn’t a bad time or anything but i’m sure if i went back and rewatched i would think it’s horrible. but i was a baby, leave me alone, present self!!
your current fandom(s): counting a current fandom as a fandom where i make stuff: thee old guard, django, occasionally a movie here and there. not creating but watching, wakanda forever, like i still love the movie and enjoy some fandom things but i got kind of burned out by the direction a lot of namor/shuri stuff very quickly went in.
how did you first get into fandom? well i was watching roswell, innocently searching online for things about it, found some smut fic, and it all tumbled down from there.
how long have you been engaging with fandom spaces? from roswell to like, 10ish years ago, then a lull of not being into fandom after i got tired of how racist and sexist fandom was, and then i became obsessed with TOG. 🤪
how often do you read fanfics? hmmm. a few times a week in general.
top 3 characters from your current fandom(s): nile, booker, um... and the rest. i can't choose for django, it's too hard.
have you ever written a fic for a fandom? i sure have!
have you ever drawn fanart for a fandom? i try
share a personal headcanon that you feel very strongly about: hmm. man, questions like this are like 'what kind of music do you like'. i have very strong music/headcanon opinions but when put on the spot my mind goes blank
okay here's one: bathsheba is way too flighty to be a good partner to gabriel and will eventually leave him too. he'll leave (not for america, he doesn't deserve that), and find real love abroad, with someone who would appreciate his baby sheeps.
you’re trying to convince a friend to get into your current fandom(s) with you. what episode, clip, or scene are you showing them? for django it depends on what they're normally into. if they're a fan of westerns, the first shootout scene. if they're into weird incestuous relationships, buddy have a seat. etc.
for TOG and other movies i would just show them the whole thing, like. harder to break up a movie than a show, imo.
and finally, what does fandom mean to you? ideally, friendships forged from common interests. just keep it small, yknow.
tagging... @strangehighs @nevermindirah @lasuperbia @laviejaguardia @mprosperossprite @bossymarmalade and ummm anyone else who wants, i'm getting insecure about tagging now

S6 BUDDIE THOUGHTS
I’m doing my yearly rewatch and I really refuse to believe that buddie wasn’t written the way they were intentionally. I’ve talked about the way they introduced buddie before. there were a lot of hints of early romance undertones. for example, the fact that abbys character got split into two separate ones. maddie and eddie. there were certain scenes where it seemed implied at a little peak into what they had in mind for their relationship. for example, buck just having to mention he loves kids when eddie said he has one, “we may end up real close”, “you two have an adorable son.” but that’s besides the point I’m trying to make. we’ve heard time and time again from tim minear and the crew that they write the story the way they want to and don’t give into fan service. but let’s face it, if you’ve been in this fandom long enough you know Tim’s been accused of stealing ideas from fanfics and posts on twt. which that is in fact fan service. (There’s nothing wrong with giving ur fans what they want tim. genuinely fan service isn’t bad unless you completely lose ur own originality and you haven’t like its still 911.) for example, we’ve been asking for less stressful storylines and now they’re delivering. also henren begins is happening solely bc fans have been begging for it. and one of the main things people have been asking for since I joined this fandom two almost 3 years ago is buddie slowburn. I genuinely am a strong believer that this is going to be the season it all comes to it. They threw buck and eddie into these relationships not because they were gonna be endgame. They were too hastily written for that and we know 911 can write good relationships. It was just to keep the slowburn going a bit longer. And you know what? If im right and this really is the season where we finally get it, then it’s been a beautiful love story. definitely would be #1 on my list and stydia has held that title in my heart for a literal decade at this point. Like they’re not dumb and I feel like this has all been intentional. I don’t see these writers as the type to disappoint their fans like that. I truly believe that Buck and Eddie were always meant to be together, or at least it’s been a heavy consideration for a very long time. With all of the ryan and oliver promotions and Oliver following Ryan again along with him liking buddie posts again. I’m very confident that the wait is over. And I can’t see it tilting out of our favor this season. usually I just ship it for fun and have moments where I know it’s not going to happen but I just feel so confident in this season buddie wise. If I’m wrong then we were played but I don’t think I am.

G1 Climax Day 2 preview
Tumblr media
D Block: Tetsuya Naito vs. Jeff Cobb - Naito is 3-0 against Cobb, which might explain why this match doesn't have any sizzle for me. It's just kind of there, and it feels like it's the main event just because Naito's the biggest star on the card.
Naito is my pick to win the whole tournament; pitting him against SANADA at Wrestle Kingdom for the world title just makes a lot of sense. If I'm right, that means New Japan has to spend the whole tour trying to convince you he's not the obvious favorite. And their favorite way to do that is book a guy into a 0-2 or 0-3 start to put them on the brink of elimination. The fact this match is going on last almost telegraphs that the big story of the show will be Cobb getting a win over Naito.
C Block: Tama Tonga vs. EVIL - I don't expect either of these guys to do better than 4-3 in the block. Actually, Evil could do a lot worse if they book him like his buddy SHO in the Best of the Super Jr. a couple of months ago. Tama's cool and I'd like to see him pushed, but seeing as Tanga Loa is finally back those two should get back in the tag title hunt as soon as the G1 ends. I don't think the outcome of this one is going to make much difference in anything.
D Block: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi - Sabre is the NJPW World television champion; Tana is one of the NEVER trios champions. I could see either of these guys winning the block, with Naito barely squeaking by as runner-up.
A few years ago it felt like Sabre had Tana's number, but in singles matches Tana leads the series 6-4, and Sabre hasn't beaten him since 2019. I could see Sabre winning to even the score up a little. Although it would make sense for Tana to get a win to set up a TV title match. Note that this year's block matches have a 20-minute time limit, whereas Sabre's whole deal as TV champ is that nobody can beat him in fifteen. So if Tana does win, I expect it to be about 17 minutes in.
C Block: Eddie Kingston vs. Shingo Takagi - Eddie is the new STRONG champion, having won the belt from KENTA on July 5. I think all of Eddie's New Japan matches have been under the Strong brand, but now he's really in New Japan, y'know? Beating a former IWGP world champion in his G1 debut would be huge, even if Shingo isn't protected as much as some other former world champs. I'd go ahead and do it, but New Japan is more conservative than I am about giving out big statement wins like that.
I was going to say I don't think either guy is going to make it to the knockout stage, but as I look over all of C Block, none of those guys seem like strong candidates. So hell, maybe the idea is to keep the tippy-toppy guys out of the way so Eddie can win the block. It wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. I'll certainly be rooting for that to happen, but I bet I'll be disappointed a lot.
D Block: Alex Coughlin vs. Shane Haste - Coughlin is one of the STRONG tag team champions, alongside his partner Gabe Kidd. I'm sure at some point Coughlin and Kidd will have to contend with Haste and his own partner, Mikey Nicholls. But for now they're just two tag team guys in a singles tournament, so I don't expect much from either of them. I'd put Haste over to remind everybody he exists, but they may want all the new Bullet Club guys to shine in the early going.
C Block: Mikey Nicholls vs. Aaron Henare - I don't think Nicholls will do any better than Haste in this tournament, but chances are he can beat Henare. I really thought last year Henare would make a big impression in the G1, but now I've given up on the poor guy. If he can beat Nicholls, good for him, but I don't expect him to do better than 1-6.
D Block: Hirooki Goto vs. Toru Yano - Goto is a co-holder of the IWGP heavyweight tag team championship. Yano is mainly a comedy bullshit guy in the G1, but occasionally his comedy bullshit leads to a win that shakes up the standings. Interestingly, Yano has not beaten Goto in nine years. Something tells me he's due.
C Block: David Finlay vs. Tomohiro Ishii - Finlay is the NEVER singles champion and Ishii is one of the NEVER trios champions. I'm very confused this is the opening match. Finlay is getting the strangest "new leader of Bullet Club" push I've ever seen. This is a rematch from Finlay beating Ishii in the New Japan Cup, which suggests Ishii might get his win back. If it's me I have Finlay go 5-2 and at least finish second in the block. But I'm not so sure they're as committed to him as I think they should be.

HEHEHEHHEE YES OKAY OKAY SO
danny canonically (well, canon enough, it was a remark from the developers) has npd right. and I have hpd and bpd and they share a lot of symptoms, being cluster b personality disorders and all. so I can proudly say
that man has awful identity issues. he spent so long pretending to be other people for praise, attention and safety that he has no idea who "Danny Johnson" is at all. sometimes he isn't even sure he's actually human. he likely dissociates a lot. he only really thought about it a while after he got taken by the entity, seeing there isnt anything to do outside of trials hes likely been in his own mind most of the time.
he may act buddy-buddy with them as a sort of second nature but he's really insecure with himself and so manifests it as hatred for other killers. (it may also be the 'canon' reason ghostface players tend to be very chill with survivors, despite him being a misanthrope. he feels safer with them because he has the cloak of superiority and being a threat with them which he doesnt have with the killers ykyk) after all he's just an average guy with a knife and knowledge on stalking, hes not overly strong without the entity's help, or tall, or supernatural in any way. to him his "backstory" isnt even bad as any of the other killers, to him at least. (it definitely was, man was literally groomed to be a murderer by his dad. but your trauma never looks as bad as the other people's you know)
also hes FTM and was 3 years on T up until he got taken by the entity (his body time kinda paused after that so he didnt revert to being feminine dw). he still has a set of tits and a coochie because in his words "surgery recovery is a waste of time, it will get suspicious if ghostface goes silent for 6 whole months" :3 he's happy with his body though... mostly. anyway thats the reason he's always hunching during trials. cant wear a binder during a chase thatd be inconvenient (please imagine a ghostface coughing and wheezing and begging the survivors to wait for him now. thank you)
he's still silly, a little clumsy but its one of the things he's less insecure about tbh. an all serious ghostface is not fun and not what wes craven would want.
anyway I need him to get a therapist so bad. bbygirl dw you wont lose your spark the spark in question is you dissociating for hours at a time on your apartment bed having a barbie movie moment like "what was I made for..." therapy will help you babygirl I promi-
THESE ARE ALL SUCH FUCKING GOOD HEADCANONS OKOKOK SO
to share my own while i am at it Teehee (i love him so much)
I def agree on the dissociation and fucked up sense of identity, mans is a messed up lil fuck and def needs to go see an entity ordered therapist. I personally def put Danny on the aro spectrum (i dont think ace personally, aroallo moment imo) though i think more on the demi or greyaro side, and if any of the survivors are ever like, flirty he just stares at them and slowly shakes his head because oh no babygirl one thats a bad idea to try and do and two you are not the person my brain has made an exception for thats for fucking sure
(I'm demiromantic myself so I describe it like that bc im basically aromantic until my brain makes an Exception(tm))
Alsoalsoalso very down for him not being friends with the other killers bc hatred and lowkey jealousy but I think he looks at the legion kids and is like "Cool, I'm your uncle now." because they're the only ones like him at all, just normal dudes even smaller than he is because theyre basically just fucked up teenagers so he feels a slight kinship and he definitely doesn't play favorites at all (this is a lie Suzy is his perfect little baby and he goes full cool uncle mode with her 100% all the time)
Also Also because self shipping noises when/if a survivor or killer (im using survivor mostly bc that's where I see myself self insert wise) does catch his interest in a romantic he genuinely just fucking panics and doesn't know what the fuck to do about it. He fumbles with them a lot and suddenly most of his smooth and cool dude exterior? Gone. Vanished. Fumbling even more than usual and it makes him SO MAD so he just.......threatens them a lot and hooks them a lot because fuck you stop making me feel things i hate you but also please just like hold my hand or something what the fuck
When finally the survivor is like DUDE WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DAMAGE and blows up on his ass he's like IDK MAN YOU GIVE ME BIG FEELINGS AND I DON'T LIKE IT COULD YOU STOP MAYBE????
anyways when that shits sorted I imagine it being a mutual (healthy) obsession thing where Danny treats his partner like they're the entity incarnate and partner does similar for him and everyone is disgusted by it but at least everytime partner is around in trials he's nice to them so like they can't complain.
If it was a killer though they would become absolute terrors and no one would be safe ever. Skip through the moldy corn fields holding hands kinda shit. Absolute fucking idiots.
(Also at one point he tries to give partner a bouquet of flowers except it was like 4 dandelions and a leaf and he ate one of the dandelions)
Anyways I love Danny Johnson I am kissing him on the mouth

genshin thoughts?? i am curious about whatever hcs or fav canon facts or Unpopular Takes you have etc etc. i trust your opinion 👍
hi hi kit okay first of all tysm im flattered that u r interested in my thoughts that means a lot to me :)
there’s a lot of little details and bits of genshin lore that i love but if i had to choose one it would be that hu tao’s birthday is the same as mine :3 KIDDING one of my favorite random genshin facts is how zhongli once invited xinyan, a rock musician well known for her intense and (literally) fiery concerts, to play some music for the wangsheng funeral parlor
Tumblr media
(this is from xinyan’s voicelines btw. do you think zhongli likes rock music because he’s the lord of rocks)
and as for the headcanons!! i can come up with sooo many behold an assortment of genshin thoughts (most of which involve hu tao and xinyan because they are very special to me) (im putting them under a readmore because i got carried away sorry)
• one of my favorite sort-of fanon dynamics is zhongli and his adopted kids ganyu (eldest daughter least likely to get in trouble with the millelith) xiao (middle child whos been an angsty teenager for the last 2000 years) and hu tao (baby of the family with the strongest Gremlin Energy)
• xiao hates zhongli’s new boyfriend childe for Many Reasons such as: he’s spent months in liyue and still can’t use chopsticks, every time he sees xiao he ruffles his hair and calls him “little man”, one time he unleashed an evil god and almost destroyed liyue harbor
• zhongli’s other two children are a little less hostile towards childe. ganyu doesn’t fully trust him because of That One Time He Almost Destroyed Liyue Harbor but he makes zhongli really happy so he’s okay for now …and hu tao thinks he’s kind of a dumbass but his job requires him to kill a lot of people so he’s good for business
• hu tao made childe a customer loyalty card (“10% Off Your 10th Cremation Service!”) however despite childe thinking it was funny, zhongli wouldn’t let her make more copies to give out to the general public
• okay so usually in fanart/fanfics the liyue kids friend group is either xingqiu chongyun xiangling and xinyan or xingqiu chongyun xiangling and hu tao. but why not both. xingqiu chongyun xiangling xinyan AND hu tao AND throw in yun jin as well. all of them are buddies peace and love on planet teyvat
• hu tao has a sort of celebrity crush on beidou (i mean who wouldn’t-) and then she meets kazuha and shes like CAPTAIN BEIDOU HAS A KID?
• hu tao: woaaahh its so nice to meet beidou’s new son… i bet beidou wouldn’t just adopt anyone so you must be super cool and badass because um captain beidou is soooo cool and badass and strong and sexy and did you know she beat a sea monster without a vision and her biceps are big enough to l- kazuha: okay how about we talk about something else
• anyway kazuha is an honorary member of the Liyue Kids Friendship Squad
• xinyan and beidou are also like family but xinyan’s parents are still alive (i think) so xinyan thinks of beidou as more of a cool aunt figure. xinyan and kazuha are kind of like siblings to each other tho
• xinyan is like genuinely very kind and good-natured so i think that aside from people who are assholes to her for being loud/a rock musician she can get along with pretty much anyone. also she just. seems like a really good friend so i think all her friends should love n support her and go to as many of her concerts as they can
• one time when xinyan was having a concert in liyue harbor and chongyun got on stage and started drumming and doing backup vocals bc of his yang energy shenhe passed by and saw them and after the concert while xingqiu was tending to chongyun she approached xinyan
• shenhe: i see you’re a friend of my nephew. your music is very unique. it both soothed and aggravated my homicidal urges at the same time xinyan: uhhh well…th. thank you miss shenhe? i’ll take that as a compliment … if you’re ever in the area again you’re always welcome to rock out at my concerts
• i love yun jin and i love yun jin x xinyan i think they would make a very cute couple HOWEVER. i think hu tao x xinyan would be cute as well. theres a lot of potential there but they barely interact in canon and ive only ever seen one person who maybe ships them uwaaaaaa
• in a modern au hu tao and xinyan would both play gacha rhythm games and they would add each other as friends in-game. hu tao and xinyan are on each other’s bandori friendlist
