Nezha Reborn (2021)

@earl-of-221b Finally watched New Gods: Nezha Reborn! Honestly? It’s a lot better than I expected it to be lol. A solid 3.5/5 from me. I do think some story elements could have been tighter and it’s not as solid a script as Nezha 2019, but it works as its own thing so it’s worth a watch for anyone already interested in fengshen lore. Plus a jttw cameo!

This is going to be a super incoherent “review” lol but I’ll just run through my thoughts. Firstly, I loved Li Yunxiang’s character. He could easily have been an emo bad boy with a heart of gold or whatever, but he wasn’t! He was just this temperamental young man trying his best. A little cocky sometimes, but always has his heart in the right place, always willing to do the right thing. Not like, super unique as a character, but someone we root for. He’s flawed, he’s handsome, he’s compassionate 10/10 character arc

Especially love how he came to understand Nezha, and how they became one in the end. This version of Nezha is legit so tragic. A misunderstood child who had to wait 3000 years until his own reincarnation looked at him and went, ‘I get it. I am you. We’re better than this. We can do it.” The flashbacks were so sad omg, but somehow that made Li Yunxiang’s reconciliation with him more moving.

FUCK Ao bing. I knew he’d be evil but wow, WOW. That kitten was so cute. That kitten was my favorite character. And Ao Bing killed it!? FUCK HIM. Thinking about that kitten makes me want to pull his spine out for the third time. That said, Ao Bing’s character as an evil hotshot asshole works and is pretty in-line with how he’s usually depicted lol. Also a pretty balanced blend of cockiness and insecurity. Like, I loved to hate him lmao

Evil CEO Ao Guang is a silver fox dilf and I have no regrets saying that. Man has no redeeming qualities besides being the oldest piece of eye candy this entire film has. But the gangster suit, hat, grey hair combo awakened something inside me. That said, his character was kinda one-note. Like, just statically evil without much explanation. And like earl said, it was very jarring to see him treat Ao Bing so badly while also justifying killing Nezha for Ao Bing, and then not cared when Nezha killed Ao Bing. Like what was going on here

Six Eared Macaque had me screaming though. He was so bouncy and was probably the only character whose face matched his voice idk LOL Probably the best animated character, and one of the best characters in general. Had stronger characterization than Ao Guang and all the side characters combined.

I was so SHOCKED when it turned out he was SUN WUKONG disguising himself as Six Ear. What kind of next level inception asdfasdf spent a whole minute losing it over Wukong committing identity theft by stealing the identity of the monkey that stole HIS identity 3000+ years ago. It’s such a funny thing to do, like he could have been anyone but he chose Six Ear LMAO I’m convinced it was out of pettyness and dark humor (because this Wukong seems to have had a hard life).

Anyway, once the Six Ear disguise came off, I was pretty impressed by how “mature” and world weary they made Wukong without losing any of the monkey energy.

What else? Oh right, the BODY COUNT. There was a death and/or attempted murder every 5 minutes. One of Li Yunxiang’s friends or family was always in the hospital from some critical injury in every scene omg. Kasha straightup losing her leg was a shocker. so was that dude trying to suffocate Six (hello??). Then the brother almost died and lived. So OLD LI died. And of course that’s when he reconciles with his son lmao. Like, our boy cannot catch a break in this.

Lastly, the post credits scene with Erlang Shen in the 1930s tuxedo also awakened something in me. Because I’m positive he has a 3rd eye under that hat. But also, the outfit, the dog and ball, Yang Jian shows up for 0.2 seconds and he’s all I can think about again adfasdf I paused the movie just to stare at him to make sure this was a thing that was happening.

Legit criticisms: Sometimes I felt like I was watching a video game instead of a movie. Namely when some of the more realistic looking people started talking or moving- it was just weirdly stiff and uncanny? And the voices didn’t quite match the mouths. Also wasn’t fond of how all the female characters looked like barbie doll waifus lol but that’s about it.

#nezha reborn #long post #I enjoyed it overall though!#much better than disney's raya imo #the worldbuilding was also surprisingly impressive in this given the SCOPE of it #can't wait to see the new gods cinematic universe become a thing

okay i have one final request 🙈🙈 as i was typing up my thots on your yyh post, something about kuwabara reminded me of vegeta and then i was like VEGETA... OUR MEOW MEOW MAN.. so 🤪🤪 i hav returned to ask 👉🏼👈🏼 da blorbo meme for dragon ball? 🥺

ohh sarah i had to wait until i was in the right mind set for this one...and since the mania has hit on monday im ready now >:]

GLUP SHITTO ASK MEME

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

ofc its bulma!!! (i could also put vegeta here but as you said yourself he is THE meow meow so until later bestie) shes so epic i love that she and goku meet as kids and even as a young air head teen its established that shes extremely bright and innovative. despite being a genuis shes never the "quite nice girl" she always just speaks her mind big win for women

also every bulma outfit/style ever slaps so hard she never misses and never shows up w/o being dressed to nines even w a baby in her hand (my personal fav is the big hair red stripped dress of the trunks arc)

like all other women in db she got hardcore nerfed after becoming a mom but she got it a little better than chi chi bc at least she can have some plot relevance for technical stuff but still T_T can we get a working milf in here PLS the kids are off fighting after age 2 anyways

i will touch on this later more but my GOD the power the bulma vegeta marriage has in comedy alone one of the funniest things in anime ever i was just explaining it to the bestie earlier<3

also not to bring up a whole other timeline but FUTURE BULMA wahh the way she kept on going w a little kid when all of her friends and family were dead and build the time machine that saves the earth and puts her son into knowing if he manages to change the future this version of her will cease to exist or he will die in the past and she will never see her child again damned to survive the end of the world all by herself knowing she send her own son to his death TORIYAMA u didnt need to go this hard tears im my eyes just thinking about it wahhhh

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

i would have to say puar or chiaotzu.....i love that theyre just little guys and fiercly loyal to their besties they both also started out doing crimes and being evil for fun until they decided to be good actually so theyre quite similar in that way

tldr; theyre both shaped and i enjoy looking at them very much:)

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

TEENAGE GOHAN hes soooo funny he saved the earth and then was just like ok time to return to school :) and then he has to use his superpowers but only in situations where he has no other choice and hes always in a hurry bc he cant be late for school! he wears bulmas lame ass superhero outfit w/o shame bc his sense of style is 10 years behind and calls himself the great saiya man so no one will recognize him as anything abnormal meanwhile he rides on a cloud to school every single day

on a more emotional note he had to help raise goten bc goku died before he was born....hes such a good older brother remember the episode where hes training and is like hey goten wanna throw rocks at me :} ? and goten almost kills him bc he doesnt know how the count down from 3 thing works anything wah wah wah wah siblings i very much enjoy thinking about^^

also he dabbed in the 90s before it was cool or uncool .... unbothered king....

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

shes an obscure fave in dbz only bc TORIYAMA FORGOT ABOUT HER but LAUNCH so epic so epic (i know shes supposed to be a funny take on "split personality" women but lol my city now) anyways she was so cool her design slaped and the ambush the enemy by sneezing and getting violent was always funny^^ also i thought she and tien were very sweet:) and i think there was a storyline where she wanted to get to the bottom of her condition and learn to be more controlled about it too? (iirc tho)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

OK HERE WE GO u all already know who im talking about the original short king (3 foot troll doll hair included) male pattern baldness icon he was pondering the orbs bc it was cool he never sets foot outside w/o the channel boots and gloves ON prince of 3 subjects the original trophyhusband his name is literally vegtable what can i say that hasnt been said..... unironically one of my fav characters ever

also his cultural impact where would we be if vegeta hadnt felt it coming in the air that night...

lets not forget no trunks gender w/o vegeta either (thank you KING)

also gt only so this is a bit obscure but hes so WIPPED for his daugther (i think hes also making up for missing most of trunks childhood) the episode where she disses his cursed mustache and he IMMEDIATLY shaves and goes through the house waiting for ppl to compliment him on it OK WORSTIE

on a more serious note vegeta orgin story MY GOD. being fully aware when his planet was blown up that being taking in and working for the guy who did dude he was like 6 wah wah wah i know its been memed to death but the namek saga scene where hes deadly wounded and PLEADS goku to kill freeza for their people MAN.

also bonus german dub tidbit but SPONGEBOB VA VEGETA i think they did it bc he sounds similar to the french one? anyways we have this cursed combo intil after the first goku vs vegeta fight iirc

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

i would also say vegeta here but no doubles so im saying in a non joking way

master rochi DIE OLD FART

also toriyama for every shitty racists depiction in dbz wtf is mr popo bro

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

well superhell is p much canon in dbz and quite a lot of ppl have been there so idk

if its for gay reasons i would say trunks he is the fruitiest dbz character for SURE

OH also mr satan just bc i think it would be funny (i dont remember if he already made it in there sorry)

also i know hes already in there but freeza can spend eternity in that cocoon on that tree

#THANK YOU SARAH i have become unhinged once more #dbz #luna.txt #ask #ask game #i know its already over but feel free to send more these are sm fun :]

Season 2: The Rankings

Whew. Oh boy.

They were still puttering about in season 1 to an extent. But now? Now they’ve really hit their stride. This season was a veritable chocolate box of delights and I ate my way through it. The overall myth arc was kind of nonsensical, but that emotional throughline? Christ. Spn buries SO MUCH emotional complexity into its leads, and they cashed in every cent in that two part finale. It packs one hell of a punch. And yeah, okay, I knew the broad strokes, the twists and turns. It’s hard not to be spoilered for a season of tv that aired over a decade ago. But reader! It mattered not!! I. Still. Wept. That’s when you know it’s the good kush. 1.) 2x12: NIGHTSHIFTER. This one just snagged the top spot by merit of its sheer ambition. Supernatural often feels like a very empty universe to me, just two guys and one car drifting from place to place. Which is fine, it makes for compelling TV, but they totally flipped the script here and this episode really dazzles precisely because of that contrast. It’s a huge, cinematic episode, a metropolitan setting full of uncontrollable elements, and it’s great to see Sam and Dean so profoundly vulnerable. The outside world is pressing up against the windows. They have sniper dots trained on them! They are, literally and figuratively, out of their depth! We’re not in Kansas any more, baby. God, I haven’t even mentioned the supporting characters. The entire mandroid rant deserves an Emmy. Victor Henrickson’s entrance! Heist movie antics! Agh! 10/10

2.) 2x07: THE USUAL SUSPECTS. Again this episode was a cut above precisely because it showed us what the brothers look like from the outside: sketchy as all hell. It’s so good when reality ensures, because it’s great to be reminded they lead objectively insane lives! Through Linda Blair’s eyes we get to see just how unknowable, feral and amoral they appear to the eyes of polite society. Put under a microscope like this, they’re scary guys! They’re just not socialised like normal people. They don’t really care about being arrested, or about the felonies. Getting arrested is an irritant above everything else. They’re still working the case from the inside. They’re professionals; excellent liars, and totally in sync with each other. The handwritten notes they pass, like delinquent school kids! A delight! The thrill lies in watching Blair slowly unwrap their strange logic, and unravel the mystery of both the brothers and the ghost. Ugh, what a great perspective shift. I’m 100% here for it. 10/10

3.) 2x09: CROATOAN. Ugh, this setting. Small Town Gothic, complete with eerie mist, hostile locals and creepy Stepford vibes. Sam really shone in this episode. He’s so soothing and giant, and it made his suffering at the end all the more devastaing. The real reason this episode ranks so highly is their conversation in the surgery. It just killed me. Dean’s sheer, bone-deep exhaustion, his admission that he’s tired of the life. Sam’s despair, because he knows Dean won’t leave. The performances were so steller. I can’t even really think too deeply about it because it makes me too crazy. 10/10

4.) 2x21: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE: PART ONE. I loved this finale so much more than the finale in Season 1, LOL. It might just be because I’m more invested now, who knows. The opening of this episode is a piece of art: Boston playing on the car stereo, the rain, the small cafe, the lighting. Gorgeous. I love when they have to interact with ordinary people! It adds so much: texture, humour, personality! It draws things out of Sam and Dean that we just don’t see when they have each other to bounce off of. It was so good to see Ava and Andy again. “I just woke up in freakin’ Frontierland!” The gang’s all here, folks! This episode would rank higher, but recieves minus points for the long boring speech the demon gives Sam, and killing off the first gay in the show 0.2 seconds after her introduction. Anyway. The ending of course unzipped me; Dean cradling Sam’s dead body, muttering “It’s okay, it’s not even that bad.” The elation of their reunion, so devastaingly cut short! Sam, twenty two years old, bleeding out in the mud. The sheer, hopelessness of it all. The horror. My notes for the end of the episode simply read: “Dean oh Christ. Oh my God. Oh no.” It’s just one of those scenes that stay with you long after the credits start rolling. 9/10

5.) 2x20: WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE. I never thought I could be so profoundly upset by watching a man happily mowing a lawn. Dean’s trauma over the loss of his mother has undercut the whole show up until this point, and here it bursts to the fore. What really got me was the simplicity of it all. Just a sit-down dinner, an engagement. A beer on the porch. Fuck, he deserves it. He deserves everything. All the performances were great, they really served to show there’s a whole life in these AU characters. The fact it wasn’t all perfect was bizarrely more devastating. AU Sam’s weird straight hair and dorky jacket sealed the deal for me, as did his baffled terror in the warehouse. But even here, with no training and no idea what’s happening, he gets into the Impala! Because that’s his brother! Because I’m a huge baby I had to remove points because of how upsetting I found Sam’s quiet hostility towards Dean, HA. But that’s really just a testament to how well-realised their dynamic has become by the second season. 9/10

6.) 2x15: TALL TALES. Every single thing Sam does in any of Dean’s memories. Also alien slowdance set to “Lady in Red.” Also Bobby breaking them up like they’re petulant children. Gold, all of it gold. 9/10

7.) 2x11: PLAYTHINGS. So I’m a slut for a cool setting, obviously. Turns out, Supernatural did The Haunting of Bly Manor fifteen years ago. The swimming pool! The attic! Creepy dolls! The weird little playground! This episode has it all! I loved the saga between the ghost sister and the old lady, which would honestly make a killer movie in its own right. But I’m digressing. The main star of this episode was, of course, Dean’s profound and escalating sexual insecurities. “Well, you are kinda butch. People probably think you’re overcompensating.” FATALITY. I would’ve placed this one higher but the weird incestuous undertones kinda squicked me out... however, I did think we were meant to be creeped out by it, which is more than I can say for some other uh. Instances. It was, after all, beautifully paralelled at the end with the two sisters reuniting in death. “I can’t leave here, and you can’t leave me.” SHUDDER. Also, honestly, can Sam have one (1) breakdown on his own without Dean’s own emotional baggage taking over? Older siblings, smh. 9/10

8.) 2x22: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE: PART TWO. This one ranks lower than part one purely because I thought the yellow-eyed demon’s overall plot was kinda nonsensical, and I cared not for John’s weird deux ex machina moment. Like do you expect me to feel sorry for that bitch? I don’t! Anyway, that being said, let’s move on to Dean’s eyes in the junkyard when Bobby asks him, “do you have that low an opinion of yourself?” They’re so flat. So dead, like a shark’s. He doesn’t need to say anything back, because it’s all over his face. That non-expression says it all. This is the culmination of the emotional arc that began with his savage beatdown of the Impala in episode 2x02. To call it survivor’s guilt wouldn’t even begin to cover what Dean goes through this episode. It’s all in Ackles’ performance; in the the way he yells, “What am I supposed to do now, Sammy?” The complete claustrophobia of it all. There’s nothing for it but to make the deal. Dean’s been moving inexorably towards this moment for the entire season. 9/10

9.) 2x13: HOUSES OF THE HOLY. What a kooky little episode! Magic fingers! Sam’s costcutter seance purchases! The scooby-doo placemat he uses as a makeshift altar! I love him, your honour. Obviously this episode has a lot of *~dramatic irony~* in it because of the later seasons, but it stands alone as a total banger. I was so gutted for Sam when the "angel” was revealed. So many good little Sam moments to be found in this episode. His soft, quiet little revelation that he prays every day. His awkward, earnest explanation to the horrified priest! Dean gets some great moments chasing down the would-be rapist down those dark, snow-covered streets. His speech to Sam where he explains his lack of belief is brief, but it’s a total gut punch. Rounding it off with Knockin on Heaven’s Door was just the cherry on top. 9/10

10.) 2x14: BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN. Ahaha I love the way Dean acts whenever Sam’s psychic powers come up. He treats him like a rebellious teen, it’s so funny. “What’s going on with you, Sam? Smokin’, drinkin’?” As if Sam’s behaviour was a) at all under his control or b) anything Dean wouldn’t HIMSELF do. Dean’s just like, this isn’t how I raised you! Truly hysterical. The whole sequence between Meg!Sam and Jo was fantastic and horrible. Sam’s huge physique is never threatening, but it really was in that moment. The interplay between them was totally spine-tingling. Meg’s impression Sam slowly crumbling away over the course of the episode was so compelling and I’m sure it will be a really fun rewatch now I know the *twist*. 9/10

Favourite lines this season:

The way Sam says “black cat’s bone” in 2x08

“You’re not gonna go kill somebody because a ghost told you to, are you insane?!” - Dean, 2x13

“Dean, this is a very serious investigation, we don’t have time for your blah blah blah blah.” - Sam (according to Dean), 2x15

“I’m fine, except for every single thing that’s happening.” - Ava, 2x21

#I feel like I'm exposing myself as a sam girl here #I love them equally I swear #supernatural #there's so much i left out like my comprehensive love for JO #what does she have? A KNIFE #I just didn't really dig NO EXIT as an episode sadly #spnwatch

☆.｡.:* wayv as your high school crushes 0.2 .｡.:*☆

A/N: Please be mindful that these are just my personal opinions on the type of high school crush they would be based on their overall personality, how I see them, how the other members see them, etc. Because this was a long one to write, I had split it into two parts (older members + younger members). The older members’ part should be out already. If you don’t like the result, then I’m sorry but I don’t know what to say other than although this is an AU I tried to make it as real as possible with outcomes that I seemed would be more likely in the sense that not all high school crushes are meant to be yours as sad as that may sound. :(

main m.list || nct/wayv m.list || part 1

Wong Yukhei

The Athlete

Literally good at any sport he does.

Has lots of muscles (which is mainly the reason why a lot of these girls finds him attractive).

Also very handsome. :(

Highkey knows all these girls have a crush on him and lowkey flirts with them whenever they talk to him.

Very kind-hearted though.

He knows his limits. If he feels a girl is taking his flirting a little too seriously or a girl actually confesses to him, he’d know that’s when he needs to stop.

He’d always reject them on the spot if that ever happened.

He wouldn’t be too harsh though.

Doesn’t have a lot of friends because of him being athletic and popular but because of his great personality.

He’s kind, funny, sweet, and overall just a great guy.

Other than being all those things, he’s also a huge nerd.

Pretty smart & loves playing PC games.

If he’s not out on the field practicing, he can be found at the computer cafe near the school playing PC games with his friends.

No one except his closest friends knows that he actually wears contacts & glasses.

You weren’t really fond of him at first because although he didn’t seem like a bad guy, it just didn’t fit your taste that he was easily able to flirt with every girl that steps within five feet from him.

He actually tried talking to you a few times too, but you’d always either ignore him or walk past him.

Lowkey liked that about you.

You weren’t like the other girls, you didn’t chase him around or anything.

Little did you know that’s not the only thing he liked about you.

Just like him you were also a huge gamer. Also he thought you were really cute

The first time the two of you ever actually got a good look at each other and the first time you actually started to have a crush on him was when your brother (also Lucas’s teammate and best friend) had invited you to play a few games of LoL (League of Legends) with them at the computer cafe.

Although you didn’t want to at first, you knew that there wasn’t anything better you could do since most of your friends that you usually played with were all away on trips with their families for spring break.

“Oh, you made it!” your brother said as he pulled out the chair next to him that just so happened to also be next to Lucas’s seat.

“Yeah,” you said as you sat down and looked towards Lucas’s seat to see he was too focused on the food he was eating.

“Hey, this is my sister-” your brother started before Lucas interrupted.

“Y/N,” he said as he took the last bite of his pizza before turning to look at you, “I know. I’ve seen her around campus already. Why is she always so grumpy?”

Both him and your brother laughed as you almost punched Lucas’s arm but didn’t because you didn’t want to be too mean. also lucas was a lot cuter close up so you were kinda nervous

“Don’t worry, she’s always like that but she’s also an actual softie,” your brother teased as your face turned red and you actually punched your brother’s arm.

“I think she’s pretty cute when she’s grumpy,” Lucas muttered low enough that you could hear what he said but your brother couldn’t hear.

That’s when you actually felt it. Your heart wanting to jump right out of your chest.

The two of you didn’t really talk much after that, you just exchanged a few words whenever one needed help in the game.

However, the next week when you were all back at school, he started talking to you a lot more.

Although you didn’t really see it at first, everyone else saw it.

He wouldn’t even look at or speak to any of the girls crowding around him. As soon as he saw you, he picked up his long legs and headed straight past the crowd of girls and to you.

It was like he knew when and where you’d be almost every time. Which you didn’t entirely hate but you lowkey hated because the more he talked to you, the more you started to like him.

Most of the things he would say was him teasing you but that was just because despite lowkey flirting with other girls before he didn’t really know how to express his feelings about you properly.

Eventually he had asked you out and that was also when you were sure that you had a big crush on him.

The two of you are still together until this day.

Xiao Dejun

The Boy Next Door

Your classic Josh Anderson... kinda.

The two of you have been neighbors for years.

Literally.

You two have practically known each other since you were born.

He was always there for you when you needed him.

Treated you like an absolute princess.

He made it his lifetime mission to protect you at all costs.

One time you had accidentally fell straight to the ground after sliding down the slide in your backyard and he instantly booked it to your side.

“Get on my back,” 7-year old Xiaojun said as he squatted down so you could get on his back.

Not gonna lie, he lowkey had some trouble standing up because he didn’t know that his small body could only carry so much weight on his back but he gave it his all and carried you back inside.

Once he had you sat down on one of the dinning table chairs, he ran to your bathroom on that level to grab your first aid kit.

Your mom tried to tell him that she could handle it, but he made it clear to her that he was confident that he got the situation under control.

After that, your mom just let him be while secretly taking a video to keep for memories and also to show to his mom because she thought he was such a little gentleman.

And he was. Actually, he still is a real gentleman.

Except, he wasn’t your gentleman anymore.

It wasn’t until he started dating your cousin once you guys started your second year of high school that you realized just how much he really meant to you.

He would still talk to you, which you liked because you didn’t want to lose him completely.

However, you didn’t get to see him as much since he was always with your cousin.

I mean, you were always free to hang out with them but once you had realized your true feelings for him it was just too difficult for you to put on a brave face in front of them.

I guess the more distant you two ended up becoming, the more not only you started to realize but also he started to realize that you both mean a lot more to each other than you had thought.

During your senior year, Xiaojun and your cousin broke up.

Although they didn’t say it was your fault, you still couldn’t help but feel guilty; especially with how your cousin started acting towards you after the breakup.

A few weeks later, Xiaojun had asked you to meet him at the soccer field after school.

He told you that he liked you, more than a friend, and you just told him you two should take things slow especially since you know that your cousin was still affected by it and although the two of you weren’t on good terms at that moment she was still family so.

After a while, you and Xiaojun actually started dating.

Still together now.

Wong Kunhang

The Handsome Class Clown

It was no secret that Hendery was the most outgoing, obnoxious, exaggerated, loud, etc. boy in your class.

Lowkey didn’t know how you started to have a crush on him.

You still don’t know why.

You two were the complete opposites. Literally.

You were mostly humble and quiet with your occasional semi-loud moments whenever you and your friends would hang out after school or during lunch.

I guess the whole “opposites attract” thing was the case for you and Hendery.

At first of course you did not like him at all.

He made being the class president even harder for you.

Whenever you would ask everyone for their homework, he would always either flirt with you or try to crack one of his jokes which you just didn’t react to.

He made it his mission to make you laugh or at least smile once at him.

It wasn’t that he liked you or anything, he just wanted to see you smile once & also he just really wanted you to be his friend.

The more he talked to and approached you, the more you lowkey started to like him.

I mean, it was also no secret that he was one of the handsomest boys in your class but also despite him being obnoxious most of the time he’s actually pretty sweet.

Helped you carry stuff back to the classroom when your teacher sent you out to get some stuff from the main office.

“Here, I’ll help you,” he said as he had grabbed the stack of papers you were holding before you could decline his offer.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” you asked as you tried to take the stack back but he just moved it away from your reach.

“Yeah, but I told the teacher I was going to the restroom but I just wanted to come help you.”

“Well, thank you then I guess,” you said as you just gave him a small smile.

Homeboy started cheering in the middle of the hallway because he finally got you to smile at him.

You lowkey found his reaction really cute. :((

Deadass drops all the papers and you two end up getting in trouble for mixing all the papers up.

You two become friends and you started to like him more.

Never confessed to him though because you didn’t want to ruin your friendship.

It wouldn’t have made a difference anyways because he moved after high school.

Liu Yangyang

Your Bestfriend

Literally were inseparable since the day you became friends.

Arcade, movie, and late night hangouts almost every week.

Deadass climbs onto the tree in front of your window sometimes to hang out with you in your room when he’s bored at 2am.

“What are you doing here? It’s like 2am,” you say as you move out of the way to let him in before closing it quickly because it was cold.

“I’m bored,” he said as he flopped himself onto your bed, “Let’s make some ramen!”

Highkey is never in his own house to be honest.

Your siblings and both of your mutual friends had thought it was a little weird that he never wanted to leave your side but overtime you and everyone else just got used to it.

You two are literally two peas in a pod, partners in crime, each other’s ride or dies, etc.

Always there for you just as much as you’re always there for him. :(

NEVER stops talking.

Whether it’s during class, on the walk to school, on the walk home from school, whenever, wherever, he would literally never stop talking.

That was mainly because he lowkey didn’t want your attention anywhere else but him. :((

Deadass a savage sometimes but you know he loves you.

You love him too because Yangyang best boy.

You didn’t realize how much you actually liked his annoying ass until you started dating someone else though.

At first Yangyang was fine with it because he knew that if you were happy then he should be happy.

However, it was hard for him to see you be happy with someone else. </3

Lowkey started to become distant from you to the point where you two barely talked to each other.

Truly the one that got away. Or was he? :o

probably will see him again and reconnect during college

Maddie rambles about Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road

Let’s just get this outta the way: Xehanort is my least favorite character in Kingdom Hearts. Now there are certainly more boring and underdeveloped characters but as far as evil deeds go, it doesn’t matter how ‘cute’ or ‘relatable’ Nomura tries to make Xehanort. I will never forget that he tore Ven’s heart in half, tortured Vanitas for four years, killed his own best friend, possessed Terra’s body for a decade, possessed Riku’s body as Ansem, unleashed Heartless on the worlds resulting in countless deaths, manipulated Organization XIII for years, and experimented on Kairi as a child and eventually murdered her in front of her best friends. Any attempt to make me sympathize with him just ain’t gonna work.

Also, I’m not taking any of these ‘Character X is secretly Character Y’ theories too seriously until they actually happen. Yes, it can be fun to speculate that Bragi or Odin is secretly Luxu or the Master of Masters, or that Brain is Eraqus’s ancestor, or that Demyx is the MoM, or that Ava or Vor is Kairi’s grandma, or whatever other theories are out there. But until there’s conclusive evidence that’s all they are, speculations and theories.

On that note, I don’t know why Xehanort is having dreams about the KHUX Player’s adventures but I don’t think it’s because Xehanort is the Player’s Nobody or a reincarnation of the Player. Reincarnation has never been a concept present in the KH series, and honestly it just sounds like bad fanfiction. Plus, if Xehanort does turn out to be the Player, then I feel bad for everyone who spent a lot of time creating their own unique character only to have it be replaced by the generic default Player in KHDR’s opening cutscene and then re-replaced by Xehanort of all people. Perhaps Xehanort simply has a unique, unexplained power to see into the past like Namine’s memory manipulation or Terra’s precognition.

Either way, this past-sight just makes it harder and harder for me to believe that Xehanort wanted to learn about the Keyblade War in BBS, since it seems he already knew all he needs to know. Xemnas knows that Luxord, Marluxia, Demyx, and Larxene are from the past, young Xehanort lives in Scala ad Caelum which was built over the ruins of Daybreak Town complete with a huge machine explaining Daybreak Town’s demise, Eraqus talks about the Book of Prophecies like it’s common knowledge, the list goes on. Also, I don’t like the implication that Xehanort chose Ventus as his vessel and later as material for the X-Blade only because he knows him from the Player’s dreams. Then again, if his dreams of the Keyblade War end before the Player meets Ven and Lauriam, then Xehanort wouldn’t know about them and would instead be more familiar with Skuld and Ephemer.

I will say that one thing I do like is Xehanort comparing himself to a starfish laying on the beach, both for the humorous imagery and also just a bit of that islander backstory flavor. Xehanort being the outsider of his friends group and not telling the whole truth of how he ended up in Scala is also an interesting Kairi parallel, although him being found unconscious in the middle of a city is kinda overused. I do like that the surrounding cities around Scala are all uninhabited, since trying to wrap my mind around these huge mountain-sized cities with potentially millions of people in them was a little too much for my brain to handle.

I do however find it quite bizarre that it’s taken some worlds so long to recover from the Keyblade War. Not only that, but apparently people just appear out of thin air once their world is restored. Like, how? It just feels weird and uncomfortable, almost like these people only exist for the protagonist and audience’s amusement rather than being independent living beings in their own right. I dunno, there’s just something deeply unsettling about those implications. It also makes me wonder how long ago the Keyblade War was, if places like Agrabah still aren’t finished only 75-ish years before KH1. The characters refer to it as a legend, so it must’ve happened a long time ago, right? Some fans think it’s only been 100 years since the Keyblade War, but that would be like the equivalent of calling World War 1 a legend.

The worlds all being on different timescales is also extremely headache-inducing, both as analyst and a fanfic writer trying to keep track of the plot. Couple that with time travel and the whole thing just falls apart. Of course, if each world runs at a different time, then perhaps this is why Xehanort looks so much older than Eraqus, or rather why Eraqus looks so relatively young when he’s supposed to be 80-ish years old. And if that’s the case, then do any of the characters’ ages really matter? I’ve already proven that their ages have been retconned before. Also, this renders timecodes such as ‘75 years later’ and ‘one year later’ from Re:Mind and other parts of the series completely meaningless. The timeline is broken.

Anyway, I’m not sure how much Norse Mythology will play into the story, but all the new characters have Norse names with two that stand out the most. The first is Master Odin, named after a Norse god who sacrificed one of his own eyes for knowledge, which is an interesting parallel to the MoM. The second is Baldr, the as of yet unseen seventh student who has a missing sister, because evidently Nomura likes recycling his previous plots before they’ve even finished. In Norse Mythology, Baldr is the god of light whose death kickstarts the events of Ragnarok. How this’ll be relevant in KHDR remains to be seen, but after seeing those four gravestones in the timeskip/flashforward, I can’t imagine this ending well for anyone not named Eraqus or Xehanort.

Now, as funny as I find it that the new characters have all been killed off this quickly, I’m not entirely convinced that those are Urd, Hermod, Bragi, and Vor’s graves. They could actually be the graves of the missing upperclassmen, if some of them turn up dead. Speaking of the upperclassmen, I would hope that Yen Sid is one of them, but I have a feeling he won’t be allowed to show up simply because of Disney’s stranglehold on its own IP. It’s pretty sad and ironic seeing as this series used to be all about Disney, but I assume that’s why Nomura is straying further and further from the brand.

About the four new student characters, I don’t have any particular attachment to any of them, beyond Vor’s name being hilariously unfortunate. I find it a bit eye-rolling that fans continuously snub Kairi but will instantly latch onto any new characters like Yozora and these four despite barely knowing anything about them. It doesn’t help that, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that any of the four who you choose to be in your trio will have the exact same dialogue in cutscenes no matter who you pick, meaning that these new characters don’t even get much of a chance to develop their own personalities because all of their dialogue has to be generic and bland enough to fit all four of them.

Young Eraqus is probably the best character so far, simply because he’s the only one with any personality. Granted his supposed cowardice has yet to be seen, but it’s mentioned so often that I assume it’s gonna be an important plot point later. However, I’m finding it hard to relate young Eraqus with his adult counterpart seeing as their personalities are just so different. I’m aware there’s a 65-ish year gap between this Eraqus and older Eraqus, but there better be some major character development to explain this, especially since even standing in front of his presumed classmate’s graves he still seems fairly chipper.

On that note, as humorous as ‘Tardy Fleetfoot’ is, just like with Xehanort, don’t think I’ve forgotten that this guy caused Terra’s insecurity and self-doubt with his overzealous anti-darkness stance, probably heavily influenced Aqua’s black-and-white anti-darkness keyblade-first-ask-questions-later thinking, was also probably the one who told her to lie to Ventus about always living with them, and attempted to straight up kill Ven and Terra. Eraqus’s actions aren’t as bad as Xehanort’s, but they certainly aren’t acceptable in any capacity.

Something odd I noticed is that Eraqus knows what the Heartless are called, and even the difference between Pureblood and Emblem Heartless-- well, part of the difference; I’m assuming he doesn’t know that future Xehanort created them. But anyway, my point is that Aqua doesn’t know what the Heartless are called until Mickey tells her in BBS 0.2. Before that she simply calls them ‘dwellers of darkness’, and even mistakes one for an Unversed. Does this mean Eraqus never taught his students about the Heartless? Why? Perhaps after his classmates died, he decided to shelter his own students from the worlds, hence why their Mark of Mastery was so simple? I’m just guessing at this point. Of course, there’s still no real explanation as for why the Emblem Heartless are here in the past. My best theory is that someone used the Book of Prophecies to summon them... somehow. It really just seems like an excuse to gloss over the corner Nomura wrote himself into with the whole ‘Emblem Heartless were made by Ansem’ thing, but we’ll see.

Honestly this whole series is just one big endless death-spiral of constant retcons and nonsensical plot twists and at this point I’m just exhausted. My view on KH has become one of mild and morbid curiosity, rather than expecting anything truly great. Is that cynical? Yes, but I’ve watched other once-great series (Star Wars, Voltron) worsen over time to the point that they just fizzle out and die, and I’m afraid it’s the same deal with Kingdom Hearts. I don’t think I’ve truly enjoyed a KH game since BBS, and if the series just continues down the path of introducing bland new characters every time Nomura gets bored rather than developing the already established ones, I don’t know how long I can stay interested. The Dark Seeker Saga is over and he really needs to let Xehanort go.

To end this on a positive note, I am tentatively hopeful about Melody of Memory. The gameplay looks cute and fun and the story looks like it will have more development for Kairi and her backstory, which is something I’ve been wanting for a while now. Focusing on the original cast is definitely a step in the right direction, and I hope this series can keep moving forwards rather than backwards.

Trust is a funny thing, you know?

Fictober day 4: “That didn’t stop you before”

Fandom: The Magnus Archives

Rating: General

Type: Hurt/comfort

Word count: 1,383

Relationships: MarTim (pre- established relationship)

Characters: Tim Stoker, Jonathan Sims, Martin Blackwood

TW: lashing out, paranoia (sort of), physical injury (could be seen as self harm but not meant in that way), A&E mention

Ao3 link / Fictober Masterpost

“What were you really doing?” Tim could feel the anger slowly build in his stomach. He thought Jon had stopped snooping and looking through his things. If he’d been lying this entire time, Tim thinks that he might actually kill him. If he could that is.

or Tim catches Jon at his desk and gets angry, thankfully Martin is there to help.

“Jon, what are you doing?” Of course Jon was lurking at Tim’s desk again. Tim’s day was already shitty enough this might as well happen. He’d manage to sleep through his alarm, have the bus drive away before he could get on, spill his coffee all over one of the files he wasn’t working on and he forgot his headphones at home. All of this meant he was one small nudge away from punching someone or something.

“Oh, uh- I was just seeing if you had the research I asked for because I’m about to record the statement for it but I can come back later for it.”

“I was looking for the research like I said.” Tim really wanted to believe him but he just couldn’t not after everything he’d done.

“Try again.” He stood in front of the door frame so Jon couldn’t just leave. He needs answers, he needs to know if he’s watching him again. Tim watched Jon roll his eyes and it made his blood boil.

“If you think I was looking through your things again, I wasn’t. I told you I wouldn’t do that anymore and I know it was wrong.” Tim wishes Jon understood how horrible it felt to know one of your friends didn’t trust you enough to stalk you. They were close, he’d been partially eaten by worms with him for god’s sake! To think that Jon actually thought he’d murdered Gertrude, it just stung.

“That didn’t stop you before. You knew it was wrong but you still did it anyway. So, I’m going to ask you one more time. What were you doing?” It was taking all of Tim’s strength to stop himself from yelling or crying or shaking Jon silly.

“Looking for the file.” He could see fear slowly creep onto Jon’s face and he felt so torn. He was furious but was Jon really scared of him?

“I don’t believe you!” Tim slammed his fist hard against the door frame. It hurt but at least the pain was something to concentrate on, something to feel other than anger. Martin would most likely freak out later over it but Tim didn’t care at this point.

“Tim, I-”

“Empty your pockets.”

“W-what?” Jon’s eyes went wide and the half laugh he let out made the fire inside of Tim’s chest burn a little harder.

“Empty. Your. Pockets.”

“Why?”

“You don’t trust me, I don’t trust you.”

“Fine, only if this will convince you I’m not lying.” Tim watched Jon empty the contents of his pockets onto his desk. A handful of loose change, a pen, a lighter, his phone and his wallet. No secret agenda, nothing suspicious. “Happy?” He didn’t know what he expected to find but there was nothing he could use as evidence so he just gave up and moved towards his desk.

“Just because you said you were sorry doesn’t mean I have to trust you again. You have to earn that sort of thing and right now that doesn’t look likely. Now get out.” Tim watched Jon walk away and heard him slam the door to his office. Martin came through only moments later.

“What the hell was that?” He sounded out of breath which probably meant he had ran from wherever in the archives he was.

“Just Jon being a dick as usual.” Tim let his head fall back as the fire slowly went out and all he was left with was exhaustion and pain spreading in his hand. He shut his eyes to try and relax but it didn’t seem like that was going to happen.

“It doesn’t seem like him to slam doors though- Oh my what happened to your hand?! Please tell me you didn’t punch him.” Tim felt Martin slowly move it but spikes of pain shot through his hand and he had to stifle a cry.

“I wish I had, his face probably would’ve been better than the door frame.” When he opened his eyes he saw Martin, sweet caring Martin. And he looked so worried.

“You punched the door frame?!” Tim could tell Martin was roughly 0.2 seconds away from going full caretaker mode but when he opened his mouth to try and calm him down he was shushed. “No, I don’t want to hear it. I’m going to take a look at it and if I’m not 100% sure it’s not broken then I am taking you to A&E.”

“Martin, you don’t- OW ow ow.” As soon as Martin moved his hand the slightest bit Tim felt an excruciating pain and through slightly teary eyes he saw Martin give him The Look. Tim had only been on the receiving end of The Look a few times but he knew that as soon as Martin used it, whoever he used it on was about to be taken care of. This could mean things such as; being forced to take a nap in the cot, taken home or driven to A&E.

“I’ll grab your coat.” Martin rushed off before Tim could protest. It wasn’t long until Martin was back and draping Tim’s coat over his shoulders before rushing him into his car. Four hours later and they were back at the institute with Tim’s hand in a splint. Well, Tim didn’t go in because Martin locked him in the car saying “I’m going to grab your bag then I’m taking you home!”.

“You didn’t have to do this, Martin. It was my own fault, I could’ve taken the bus to A&E after my shift was finished.” Tim slumped onto his couch dropping his bag. He was exhausted after today but Martin insisted on coming in to make sure he was fine.

“Don’t lie, I know you wouldn’t have gone to the hospital if I hadn’t dragged you. You would’ve taken a few paracetamol and ignored it. You’re almost as bad as Jon sometimes.” Martin placed his and Tim’s bags on the floor before heading to turn on the kettle.

“Don’t, don’t compare me to him.”

“Okay...does this have anything to do with what happened earlier?” Tim groaned.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“You said but if something’s that wrong that it made you punch a door frame then I feel like it would be better to address it.” Tim watched as Martin made two cups of tea while barely taking his eyes off him. He’s pretty sure Martin could make a cup of tea in his sleep.

“It’s just him. I caught him at my desk again.”Tim could feel a little spark of the fire that was in his chest start to build up so he concentrated on Martin. Martin and his cups of tea, Martin and his knitted cardigan, Martin and his tenderness.

“Wait, really?” He took the mug that Martin passed to him before sitting down beside him and took a sip. Martin really did know how to make the best tea.

“Yeah, he said he was just looking for research he asked me for but I just can’t trust him Martin.” Tim felt Martin freeze.

“Oh, it wasn’t for the Hutcheson Statement was it?” He could tell Martin was nervous but he wasn’t sure why.

“Yeah, why?”

“I reminded him that he needed to record it today.”

“Fuck.” Tim felt Martin put his hand on his knee and it helped put out the fire inside him.

“It’s okay, you’re still justified for getting mad. Maybe punching wood wasn’t the best idea but still.” Tim just sighed. “Look, how about we just relax for tonight then you can talk to him about it tomorrow?” All it took was one look into Martin’s eyes and he softened.

“Fine, but I’m not apologising because he hasn’t gotten my trust back yet.”

“I never asked you too, just talk to him.” Tim leaned his head on Martin’s shoulder while Martin turned on the tv. They sat like that for hours, until Martin fell asleep with his hand still holding Tims.

So... I meant to do this post as a picture edit comparing things. But my computer where I can screenshot pictures and then find a way to upload them to Tumblr won’t let me do it anymore--it won’t let me post to Tumblr because it says the browser’s too old, even though I just downloaded the new one--so I’m just going to write an essay instead.

The Reason Why I Think Versus XIII Noctis/Now Yozora and Stella/Now Stella 2.0 (or whatever her name is. We still don’t know it) Might be Alternate Sora and Kairi

1. I was actually going to start this off by comparing the ways that Noctis and Stella flirted with how Sora and Kairi do--which, yes, Sora and Kairi have flirted and have chemistry. Shocking to a lot of this fandom, I know--which are quite similar.

So, in the scene where Noctis and Stella meet (though that’s been retconned, as Nomura later decided he wants them to have been childhood friends: another way they’re like SoKai), Stella is looking at a painting of the goddess Etro in Noctis’ citadel (the top floor of this one area) and Noctis sees her up there and goes up to see her (and there’s one moment where the camera, that was omniscient PoV up until this and will be later, becomes Noctis’ PoV, as the shot becomes slow motion and you can tell that while Stella is focused on the painting, all that Noctis is really seeing is Stella. And we’ve now gotten shots of Sora looking at Kairi that way now. And there are a few other scenes in this trailer when Noctis is staring at Stella when she isn’t looking).

Anyway, Stella notes that Noctis can see this light that she can--that most other people can’t--and begins talking to him about it. And while Noctis is attracted to Stella... she makes him very nervous for that reason, and he isn’t sure he can handle their meeting for that reason, so he’s trying to scamper off... all while attempting to play it cool. He’s also uncomfortable with the topic, because he knows more about it than he’s letting on.

But some parts of their conversation that is somewhat banter-y/flirty are:

Stella: Prince Noctis, you can see the light.

Noctis doesn’t confirm or deny, but with his next words he pretty much confirms he can: When did you first notice it?

Stella: When I was a child.

Noctis: Near death experience, right?

Stella: Was it the same for you?

Noctis: It’s not my fondest memory. LOL

Stella then talks about how it’s said that when people die, Etro--the death goddess--will open the gate, welcoming the souls of the departed. And when that happens, a bright light is supposed to appear from the land of the dead (the light that Noctis and Stella can see). And that any who can see that light are rumored to receive great power. Stella says that that’s how the legend goes in her country, of Tenebrae, and Noctis confirms that Lucis tells it the same way.

Stella then asks if Noctis received any power, like the legend says he should, from being able to see the light. He says: “I wouldn’t want anything like that. I’m fine the way I am.” To which Stella in an excited manner replies, “That’s what I thought! Any power... if it came at the cost of someone’s life. It would give me nightmares.” And she shivers. Noctis says, “Me, too. Good thing it’s just a fairytale.” But you can tell from this scene that they’re both lying and have received this power (that’s why they’re fishing for information from the other, to see if they’re the same), even if they don’t want to admit it. And I think Noctis even knows Stella has the power and is lying, and is being somewhat sarcastic towards her with the “good thing it’s just a fairytale.” He then is actually pretty kind in warning her not to talk about the light to other people if he were here, because “being too different from others only causes problems” (which indicates that Noctis has seen this firsthand, which is why he’s all hush-hush about it now).

And since they’re playing this game about the legend not being true, Stella asks: “If the legend is just a fairytale, what do you think the light really is?” Noctis replies: “It’s just something that’s there. Why can’t that be enough?” Noctis indicates that he has to go, and Stella says that she’d better do so, too. Stella introduces herself to Noctis (because she hadn’t until this moment, but she already knew who he was), but it’s clear in their hesitance and mannerisms that they like each other and don’t want this moment to end. Noctis even asks Stella to call him by his nickname “Noct”.

Stella tells Noctis: “You know, I think I received something from that light tonight. I was given the chance to speak with you.” Noctis then jokes, “Well, then. Enjoy the nightmares,” since earlier Stella had said that if she got anything from the light--as doing so, in seeing the light, meant that someone had just died in that moment--it would give her nightmares. And Stella teases, “You’re a funny one, aren’t you Prince Noctis?” He tells her to call him “Noct” again, and she says she will the next time they meet: so he should come by Tenebrae sometime and she’ll show him around. He says he’ll consider it, and Stella leaves.

Now, let’s compare that with some SoKai banter. At the opening of KHI, Kairi startles Sora awake and she laughs at his expense. He tells her to give him a break, and she says: “Sora, you lazy bum. I knew I’d find you snoozing down here.” He then tries to argue that, “No, this huge black thing almost swallowed me up. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t- ow!” at which point Kairi has slapped him upside the head and asks, “Are you still dreaming?” Sora: “No, it wasn’t a dream... Or was it? What was that place? So bizarre.” Kairi: “Yeah, sure.” Sora then asks Kairi what her home was like: where she grew up. And she says, “I’ve told you before, I don’t remember.” There’s definitely some snark in that “I’ve told you before” bit. Sora asks: “Nothing at all?” And Kairi lies, “Nothing.” Sora then asks if Kairi ever wants to go back and she says that she’s happy on the Islands. Sora is doubtful about that questions, “Really?” Kairi then says she wouldn’t mind going to see it, though, and Sora says that he’d like to see it too, along with any other world out there: he wants to see them all. Kairi then asks what they’re waiting for.

Some other SoKai banter-y moments from the series: Kairi suggesting she and Sora take the raft without Riku, before admitting she’s only kidding. To which Sora teasingly says, “What’s gotten into you? You’re the one that’s changed, Kairi.” And then it continues onto a very sweet scene where Kairi explains that at first she was scared of seeing other worlds, but in knowing she can always return home she feels safe about it. And Sora reassures her that she will alway be able to come home. To which she tells Sora to never change... and though he’s baffled by it, you know he must appreciate the compliment.

The little argument they get into in the Underground Cavern: Kairi: “Well, let’s go.” Sora: “You can’t go.” Kairi: “Why not?” Sora: “Because it’s way too dangerous.” Kairi: “Come on, Sora. We’ve made it this far by sticking together. You can’t go alone!” Sora: “Kairi, even if we’re apart we’re not alone anymore, right?” Kairi: “I can’t help?” Sora: “You’d kind of be in my way.” Kairi: “Okay. You win. Take this. It’s my lucky charm, be sure to bring it back to me.” And she’s almost threatening him to bring it back with her tone, like “bring it back to me, or else.” But this is really her way of saying “make sure you come back home to me alive, you butt”. And Sora answers: “Don’t worry, I will.” And they make a promise that he will. And Kairi tells him that wherever he goes, she’s always with him and he says he’s always with her later, too.

If you talk to Kairi on the Islands, as she’s telling you what to collect. She’ll say something like, “Did you get that?” And Sora can say, “Yeah, I heard you.” Or “What was that again?” And if he says the latter, she’ll say “You’re hopeless!” and then begin telling you it again. She can also, in an exasperated way, give you hints on where to find things....

Which I think Sora references in this KHII conversation, as he teases her yet again: “You don’t remember my name? Thanks a lot, Kairi!” Kairi gasps here. Sora: “Okay, I guess I can give you a hint. Starts with an ‘S’.”

And just... look at all the text bubble things she says to him in KHII (quoting off the top of my head here) “I wish I could fight like you and Riku... I know what you’re going to say,” he was clearly arguing with her here, or about to, “but you two shouldn’t be the only ones getting hurt.” “So you all were out adventuring while I was living a normal life? Why do I always get left out? You’re going to tell me about it later!” “The three of us being together again like this reminds me of old times. If we all make it home, let’s finish that raft of ours!” “I’m sick of waiting so don’t tell me to stay behind. From now on, wherever one of us goes the other follows. Got it?”

And even in KHIII, where people say her feistiness was completely taken away, look at the look she gives Sora when he seems about to deny he ever wanted to share a paopu with her... Or how she says “I told you Sora, you’re safe with me.” (If that had been Nami instead, or something, she would have just blushed or smiled or sweetly said, “You’re safe with me, Sora.” There would have been no “I told yous” going on). And how she gives him that “So you finally figured it out, did you?” look, when he realizes it was her act of true love that saved him.

Other examples of Kairi poking fun at Sora: She actually calls him a lazy bum twice in KHII. The second time is after Leon knocked him out. Kairi: “Come on, lazy bum. Wake up.” And yes, I think that was Kairi and not Yuffie. In KHII, she tells Riku: “Come on, Riku. You know Sora’s completely hopeless without us.” And in KHI Sora says, “I can’t believe it. I really flew. Wait ‘til I tell Kairi! I wonder if she’ll believe me... probably not.” And in 0.2, Kairi tells Riku, “Who’s this Riku and where’s the old one? You sound like Sora.” And when Riku pretty much admits he is being Sora-esque, Kairi tells him, “Well, we still like you.” Which sounded like more Sora ribbing to me. Like, “Oh no, Riku! You’re acting like Sora! Yikes! But don’t worry, we still like you.”

So now that I’ve hopefully established that Noctella and SoKai have some of the same chemistry and flirting techniques, let’s move onto other ways they’re similar:

2. The childhood friends thing, for sure.

3. That they got separated when they were young (fourteen-year-old Sora and Kairi and probably under twelve Noctis and Stella), as via concept art, I’m pretty sure the scene where Noctis and Luna get separated in Kingsglaive (when the Empire occupies Tenebrae) was actually written by Nomura (there’s quite a bit of evidence to this, but I’m only going to get into it if you want me to)... except I feel Stella would have chosen to stay behind like Luna did, and this might be a reason she came to resent King Regis, Noctis, and Lucis some (as Stella was supposed to be part antagonist... though I have my series that that was a ruse. And that Lucis was secretly the bad guys the whole time, so in somewhat opposing them Stella was really the heroine all along, but ehh).

3.5 And with that, they seem to be separated a lot (like SoKai) and do the “reaching for each other” thing, too.

4. Both couples have the same power. Sora and Kairi can summon Keyblades, and Noctis and Stella both had the Power of Kings (that’s what it’s called in FFXV, anyway, if that was what it was called back in Versus XIII, I don’t know). And with that, and also with them both having the power to see the Light, I think Nomura meant for the two to parallel each other--or perhaps be Foils--that we’ve even seen a bit with Sora and Kairi, like with how their movements in the secret place to see the paopu drawing are exactly the same.

5. Both pairings, for some reason, have connections to the Final World... that should maybe be Sora and Kairi’s place (and I have my theories about that), since it’s where sea and sky meet. But a dead Stella is there, and a dead Sora is there, eventually at the same time(?) (...and Sora and Kairi met there in the main game). And if you get the bad ending of the Yozora fight, it looks like Yozora reaches the Final World and finds Stella. And if you win the Yozora fight, it looks like Sora enters the Final World and finds Kairi. And Stella told Sora about Yozora... and it’s maybe implied that Kairi told Yozora about Sora? And both Sora and Yozora are in a night version of the Final World... which I especially have no idea how Yozora is there, if Sora got there by abusing the Power of Waking. And both boys also got there, somewhat, in presumably trying to save their girls (that I’ll get into more in a minute).

6. Noctis and Stella at least called each other on cell phones in Versus XIII, apparently. And Sora at least had the potential to call Kairi on the gummiphone in KHIII, but never did (but maybe he didn't because Kairi didn’t get hers until Jiminy gave everyone them at the end of the game, and by then there was no point). But perhaps Sora and Kairi will communicate this way, ala Noctis and Stella, in the future.

Which brings me to the more important number seven. 7. In the one concept art, it looks like Stella has the Lovers’ Notebook from XV... which maybe means that that was always Nomura’s idea, and Noctis and Stella would have somewhat communicated through letters to each other like Noctis and Luna ended up doing. And Kairi writes letters to Sora (she’s been doing this since II). And perhaps Sora might write to her in the future.

8. Both girls were presumably killed by their respective game’s antagonist, and the protagonists were distraught by the loss of them (well, this fact is being kept from Yozora, since another’s heart has taken root in him... but Stella says he will be distraught when he finds out. And I believe her. And I also think he knows more about it than she realizes) and go to great lengths to bring them back. Like, I think that’s why Yozora reaches the Final World in the bad ending: he’s trying to find Stella.

9. Reasons I think Kairi and Stella are the same person (other than what I’ve already listed)... From the little we know of Stella, which I admit isn’t a lot, she and Kairi seem to have similar personalities (with them both being teasing, yet kind). Stella is/was arguably a princess like Kairi “is”. Based off the one concept art of Stella, they both clearly like pink and perhaps fashion... They both have ethereal kinds of powers, it looks like... A lot of people have even brought up how the new version of Stella looks a lot like Kairi (and even the past design for Stella had purple eyes like Kairi, as does her new design). Especially the Another Side, Another Story design for Kairi. They both like flowers... And while I do think her name will be star-themed, based on her necklace and her being called the “Nameless Star”, perhaps it represents how the paopu fruit is star-shaped... and the paopu fruit has been connected to Kairi for a long time now, like with how that was the chess piece that represented her on Xehanort’s chessboard. Oh! And they’re both very polite and respectful. And both Kairi and Stella 2.0 have sort of emblem necklaces, but tbh... so do most FF girls. And Kairi can warp-strike like Stella may have been able to. Stella’s magic is now purple like Kairi’s signature color used to be. Part of Kairi’s skirt in KHIII is like Stella’s from Versus XIII.

10. Reasons why I think Sora and Yozora are the same person (other than what I’ve already listed): their names both mean “sky”. And long ago, Nomura said how he named Sora and Yozora (then Noctis) as opposites for a reason (since Yozora is “night sky”). Probably because Yozora has become corrupted, as someone’s possessing him... and maybe he was even corrupted because his light, Stella, is gone. Like it was so easy for Master Xehanort to turn Sora into Rage Form when his light, Kairi, was gone. Yozora can steal your Keyblade... and apparently if you hack that fight, you can get the words “you’re not the true Keyblade bearer”, or something like that, to appear. Which sounds like some Sora and Roxas type shit to me. Oh! And Yozora can steal your Keyblade, which says a lot right there! And the fight with Yozora begins on Sora’s heart platform/his heart, before Yozora somehow turns it into Shinjuku/the world of Verum Rex. I also think we were supposed to imagine Rex thinking Sora was Yozora was a red-herring when, in fact, it was anything but. Like, I think Sora looks like Yozora some. Edit: And, yes: Yozora is a prince--maybe? His driver referred to him as a commander--but there’s also a lot of evidence that Sora secretly is or is going to become that. Or a king, rather. Edit 2: And Sora is teased over his crush on Kairi in KH, and according to old Nomura interviews... the chocobros were going to tease Noctis about Stella in Versus XIII. They can both warp, too. And they could both be said “I’ve been having these weird thoughts lately, like is any of this for real or not” moments in their stories. Could Magia and Aegis be like Yozora’s Donald and Goofy?

There are even more things I could say... (like, how according to rumors, Ravus was a lot like Riku--and Ravus hated Noctis because he killed his sister Stella... while possessed, no doubt. And perhaps Riku is the Ravus to Stella’s Kairi, as maybe he does see her as more of a sibling now, and we just saw his hatred of Sora when it came to Kairi play out earlier and for different reasons), I won’t because there’s less concrete evidence there... I really think this could easily be a thing, guy. And if nothing else, it’s at least a theory worth looking at, imo.

Edit: Though it’s also just possible that Nomura likes to use similar tropes with his couples. Haha.

Ghost Hunter!Renjun x Ghost Hunter!Reader

Summary: You and Renjun were paired up for the first time to go on a ghost hunting mission together. Unfortunately for you, you have some ‘ghost friends’ at the place you were asked to go to and they also know about your small crush on Renjun. They spend the night ‘accidentally’ pushing you and Renjun on top of each other while Renjun stays clueless as to why the ghosts haven’t full on attacked the both of you yet.

Co-workers AU(????), supernatural AU

Genre: Fluff, crack(?)

A/N: To my anon who requested this, I know it’s probably not like you were expecting but I hope you like it anyways~ (also it's un-edited, I hope it’s still ok,,,)

You walked into your workplace, tired as hell from last night’s mission

you were a ghost hunter.

A weird occupation, but with so many people ignorant of the potentially life-threatening creatures, someone had to do it

Your last mission happened to be solo and went until about 3am

you were not in the most pleasant mood to say the very least

The minute you stepped into the building, your boss called you to his office

of course, you had another mission today.

After all, what more logical situation could there be for someone who was running on literally 15 minutes of sleep

you walked into the office to see Renjun standing there

he gave you a cute smile when you met eyes

your face instantly turned a light shade of red and you offered a small smile back

you could’ve sworn that you saw Renjun’s cheeks turn the slightest shade of red, but you brushed it off

Your boss sensed the romantic tension in the air and sat you both down, already regretting pairing the both of you up for this mission

He started to explain it anyways, giving you two the information about the types of ghosts and where they are

once he told you the location, you took in a sharp breath

now, you may be a ghost hunter but,,,,

that doesn’t mean you didn’t know that some ghosts were good

and where your boss had just said you two would be hunting was the residence of your ‘ghost-friends’

You weren’t worried about having to kill them

oh no

what you were worried about

was the fact that they all knew about your crush on the person you were coincidentally going on the mission with

and you just knew

they would spend the entire night

trying to set you two up and getting you in suggestive positions

which was the exact opposite of everything you wanted

well,,,, maybe not

but that’s not exactly the point here

anyways, the afternoon came around and it was about time that you and Renjun set off for your hunt

the whole time you were making your way to the location of your ‘ghost-friends’ you were just so in awe of how much of a sweet-heart Renjun actually was???

like, he seemed mean on the outside

but really

he was just the sweetest little puppy in existence

sure he was a bit violent

but???

He’s just so genuinely nice???

Like damnit Renjun no one needed you to wreck thEIR BIAS LIST LIKE THIS

(A/N: I am far from sorry. I’m only stating facts, don’t run away from the truth)

so eventually you made it to the house

and you just took in a large breath

preparing yourself for what was about to come

the second you and Renjun stepped in together

a gust of wind went through the house

almost like a wave of excited whispers

and you just knew

they were already making up millions of little plans on how to set you up

you didn’t even need to tell them it was Renjun

there was no way they wouldn’t be able to recognize him from the millions of pictures you showed them

Renjun looked to you seriously, finally putting on his work persona

You both nodded at each other and started moving deeper into the house

a few minutes had passed of you two exploring and everything was going fine

Renjun was walking slowly behind you, wondering how you hadn’t gotten them both lost yet, the house was enormous

a few seconds after thinking that maybe you were safe, you heard a small grunt from behind you and suddenly you were falling to the ground face first

You quickly put your arms out in front of you, yelping

you caught yourself but had a bit of your breath knocked out of you from the weight that pushed you down

“crap! I’m sorry! I have no idea how that happened! Are you ok?!” Renjun said, scrambling off of you

You sighed, realizing that the game had begun

from now on, it was your pride against your teasing friends

the next hour was spent with you and Renjun miraculously falling into each other's arms or ending up on the ground on top of one another

You even came across a room with a romantic dinner set up

by now, you were sick of it

you were pretty sure your face had been stained red from all the blushing and the word ‘sorry’ had been glued to the tip of your tongue

Renjun felt the same

another minute had passed and Renjun tripped

surprise surprise

You went to catch him but finally decided that just letting him fall would be easier to help prove your point that you were completely done

He made contact with the ground with a loud oof, you cringed, already feeling sorry for ignoring your reflexes

While Renjun was busy getting back up, completely puzzled

You stepped forward and started talking to seemingly nothing

“Alright you little shits, get your asses out here so I can beat you”

Nothing

“I know you guys are listening, stop trying to set me and Renjun up”

“What?” Renjun asked, becoming even more puzzled at your words

A few seconds and a couple ghosts who had seemingly died in their late teens or early twenties came out, laughing their asses off

“You should’ve seen you guys’ faces! Beet red!” said one, male, looked about 19

“Not funny,” You said looking at him unimpressed

“Actually, for your information, it was very funny,” said another, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone

“Y/N?!? What in the HELL is going on?!”

“too much. We’re leaving”

You grabbed his arm and started pulling him out of the house, leaving your friends who were now laughing again behind

Once you had made it a bit of a way away from the houses, Renjun stopped

“Wanna tell me what the FUCK just happened?!”

and then you just spent like the next hour explaining to him

including the part why they were tripping you two over constantly

wow this boi was STRESSED

“You have ghost friends?! But you’re a ghost hunter?! And also you have a crush on me?! Did you say that because I heard you say that and I also have a crush on you!?!?!?”

now you didn't know how to react

Renjun had a crush on you???

Upon learning this new information

you leaned forward and

kissed him!!

and then Rejun like froze

he stopped thinking

even though like literally 0.2 seconds ago his mind was RACING

but now his heart was racing

and he didn’t know what to do

so when you pulled away he just blurted out “I love you”

and OH BOY

now you were both blushing like crazy again

would you both get fired???

Who knows???

You just knew you weren’t taking Renjun back there any time soon

Whatever It Takes Ch. 4/?

Summary: Peter’s struggling to cope after the loss of Mr. Stark. Everyone keeps telling him it’ll get better and that he needs to move on, but Peter doesn’t want to. He can’t envision a life without his mentor. So when an idea comes to him, he doesn’t hesitate, no matter how crazy it is. He’s going to get Mr. Stark back.

“What exactly are we going to do?” Ned asked.

“Whatever it takes.” Peter answered.

Read on AO3

________________________________________________________

“What do you want me to make for dinner?” May asked from the kitchen.

“I’m not hungry.” Peter answered in a monotone as he sat on the couch staring blankly at the television. It was on but he didn’t have the attention span or the energy to watch it. He had no idea what was even playing.

“You need to eat something.” May argued. “I know you didn’t eat lunch and all you ate for breakfast was that granola bar I had to force down your throat.”

“I’m not hungry.” He said again, more forcefully.

May sighed heavily and walked back into the living room. He didn’t turn away from the TV.

“Honey you need to eat.”

Peter kept staring straight ahead.

“Tony wouldn’t want you to do this to yourself.” May said. Why was everyone telling him that lately?

“It doesn’t matter what he’d want. He’s dead.” He said, voice emotionless. The words should’ve hurt to say but they didn’t. He was too numb. Everything felt completely numb.

“Honey.” May said sadly and sat down next to him. “Look at me please.”

Peter sighed but did as she asked and turned to look at her.

“I know you’re hurting but you still have to take care of yourself.” May said with sad eyes. “You need to eat.”

She cupped his cheek. “You’ve been losing weight baby.”

He knew that. He hadn’t weighed himself but he’d noticed his clothes had started fitting looser.

“I haven’t been hungry.” He argued weakly.

“I know honey and that’s what grief does, but you still have to eat. If not for yourself, then for me? Ok? Can you try?”

He nodded. He hated making her worry about him.

“Thank you.” May smiled. “Come here.”

She pulled him into a hug and he returned it without hesitation.

“I just miss him.” He whispered the confession into her hair.

“I know.” May whispered back.

She kissed the side of his cheek and said knowingly, “But it’ll get better. You know it will.”

He knew they were both thinking about Ben. About how hard it’d been after his death too. How neither of them had wanted to eat. How pretty much every day had been a struggle. How it had hurt so much it’d felt like slowly burning alive. But somehow they’d survived it. It had gotten better. Peter knew this hurt had to eventually get better too, but he couldn’t make himself believe it.

“Ok.” May said as she let go of him and sat back. “How about I make spaghetti for dinner? You like spaghetti.”

She looked so earnest, so hopeful he’d eat. He couldn’t disappoint her.

“Actually, can we order Thai?” He asked hesitantly. “It sounds…kind of good.”

May beamed. “Absolutely. Thai it is. You want your usual?”

He nodded. He figured he could choke down some Pad See Ew if it’d make her feel better.

She got up to grab her phone from the kitchen counter and he called softly after her, “Thanks May.”

“No problem sweetie.” She said back.

He and May had started eating Thai after Ben had died. It’d been one of the only foods his uncle hated, so they’d never really eaten it. It’d been safe from triggering memories. He was pretty sure it was all they’d been able to stomach for weeks after his death. And then, over time, it’d become his and May’s thing. Eating Thai. He’d almost forgotten that’s how it had started. It was the same reason he and May never ate fried chicken anymore. Because it’d been Ben’s favorite. They never talked about. They just never ate it again. He wondered if there were any foods he wouldn’t be able to eat now because they’d remind him too much of Tony. As soon as he thought it, the answer immediately came to mind. Shawarma.

He didn’t know how people reasonably expected him to move on when reminders of what he’d lost kept popping up everywhere. He ached constantly with a phantom pain, like he’d had a limb cut off and forgot he’d lost it until he went to use it again and it was gone.

Something funny would happen at school that he knew Mr. Stark would enjoy and he’d think he needed to tell him about it, but then he’d remember he couldn’t. He’d never get a chance to tell the man funny stories or hear him laugh again.

After school, he’d walk down the steps and reflexively look for Happy’s car because for a split second he’d forget there’d never be any more workshop evenings or weekends hanging out with Mr. Stark.

He’d pull out his phone on the subway on the way to school in the morning and click on Tony’s name, ready to send him a morning message like he always did, before he’d remember. No matter how many messages he sent Mr. Stark, he’d never get a reply. So he’d put his phone away and spend the rest of the ride struggling to hold back tears.

He wondered if Tony had gone through something similar when he’d been gone, but he didn’t have the heart to ask anyone about it. Knowing wouldn’t help anyway, it’d probably only make it hurt worse.

Months passed.

It didn’t get better.

He barely ate except for when someone forced him to. Food turned to ash in his mouth. Nothing tasted good. His appetite remained non-existent. He spent more days than not dizzy and not quite with it. He knew he was still losing weight. His clothes had gone from a little loose to borderline falling off of him. He knew he couldn’t keep going on like this. But he also didn’t care.

The suffocating loss and memories hounded him all day and the nightmares and insomnia haunted him all night. He went through the motions at school, somehow keeping his grades up amidst his fog. It was probably the main reason no one had staged an actual intervention yet. They probably figured if he could still do well in school, he must not be as bad as he seemed. He was falling apart, but somehow still keeping it together.

He spent more and more time out as Spiderman. He figured if he wasn’t going to sleep, like he hadn’t been able to tonight, he might as well do something useful. He liked to think it’s what Mr. Stark would’ve wanted. For him to keep fighting the fight. To keep helping people. When the man couldn’t be there to do it himself. Or maybe that was just Peter’s wishful thinking to alleviate the guilt he felt whenever he donned the suit Mr. Stark had made for him.

“Peter it is now three hours past the curfew Mr. Stark set for you.” Karen reminded him cheerfully, interrupting his morose thoughts as he sat on the roof ledge of one of the taller buildings in Midtown. He’d been patrolling all over the city lately instead of exclusively in Queens because he’d been going out as Spiderman more and wanted to help as many people as possible. It wasn’t at all because he felt an odd magnetic pull toward Mr. Stark’s old Tower.

“I know Karen.” Peter rolled his eyes. “It’s not like it matters. There’s no one you can tattletale to anymore.”

Silence in response.

“Sorry.” He mumbled.

“I recommend you return home to sleep. Due to your fatigue, your reaction times have been 0.2 seconds slower tonight than usual. I have noted a gradual progressive increase in this delay over the past week.” Karen told him.

Sounded about right. He wasn’t surprised. It’d been a long night. A long week really. He’d barely been sleeping and it was currently three in the morning.

When he didn’t respond, Karen added, “I am concerned for your wellbeing Peter.”

“Yeah well join the club.” He muttered. It’s all he heard from everyone lately. They were worried. They wanted to talk. They wanted to help. And now apparently even the AI in his suit was in on it.

“Your safety is my primary objective.” Karen continued. “It has not escaped my notice that lately your behavior has become increasingly erratic and you have been taking more unacceptable risks.”

Peter snorted.

“I’m fine Karen.” He lied.

She didn’t give him any sort of rebuttal even though she had to know he was lying. He didn’t know if that was better or worse.

He sighed and conceded, “All right. Fine. I’m going home. Happy?”

“Very.” Karen said as he stood.

Could AI’s be ‘very’ happy? Could they even be happy at all? Karen sure seemed like she had emotions, but it was probably all just a trick of programming. Mr. Stark’s genius incarnated.

He took a breath and jumped. He webbed from building to building mindlessly. Because of the height of the buildings in Midtown, he was so high up it almost felt like flying. He should like it. He should feel something. But he didn’t. Why couldn’t he feel anything? He just wanted to feel something. Anything besides this accursed numbness.

He released his web but instead of shooting off the next one to attach to the subsequent building, he held off. And let himself fall.

“Peter is there something wrong with your webshooter?” Karen asked after only a second of freefall.

He didn’t respond. He closed his eyes as his body sliced soundlessly through the air. He still felt nothing. No thrill of excitement or enjoyment. Only the familiar all encompassing numbness.

The ground grew closer. It happened slowly but fast at the same time.

“Peter.” Karen warned.

Still nothing. No jolt of fear.

His viewscreen started flashing warnings. About terminal velocity and how fatal collision was imminent.

“Peter you must deploy your webshooter.” Karen ordered, practically yelling. He didn’t even know she could do that.

He supposed he should. He straightened his arm out in front of him. And hesitated. He didn’t actually have to. He could just…not.

He could be done. Just give up. He could see Mr. Stark again.

But May would be sad. And if he did see Mr. Stark, how could he ever explain himself? Heroes didn’t kill themselves. Unless they needed to do it in order to save the world. And then they called it sacrifice.

“Peter!” Karen yelled in warning.

He gasped. He didn’t actually want to die. He didn’t. He fumbled jerkily with his webshooter and managed to shoot it in time to catch onto a nearby building. As it tightened, the force yanked his shoulder painfully.

He let out a small cry. But the web held and he swung through the trough of the arc. As he started swinging back up again, he realized how dangerously close he was to the ground. There weren’t a lot of options for where to attach another web. He shot one out frantically at a nearby building but in the next second he saw the trajectory would bring him through an alley to smash straight into a brick wall at the end of it.

There was only one thing he could do.

He was moving too fast and only a few feet off the ground as he released his web. He landed on the asphalt and rolled almost the entire distance of the alleyway before he slammed into a dumpster near the end and came to an abrupt stop.

Ouch. He groaned. Everything hurt. But he wasn’t dead. His chest heaved in huge gulps of air. He turned his head and saw he’d left a huge dent in the dumpster, nearly crushing it in half. Sorry New York waste management.

He stayed on his back, gasping, trying to catch his breath like a fish out of water as he stared up at the black night sky. Karen remained conspicuously silent. She was probably mad at him. Her only communication with him was an injury report that flashed across the screen. He glanced at it briefly and dismissed it. Nothing life threatening. His momentary lapse wasn’t going to end up killing him after all.

Adrenaline fled his body, leaving him shaky, as the reality of what had almost just happened hit him. He’d almost died. He’d really almost just killed himself. Holy shit. His entire body started vibrating with fine tremors as a delayed fear response washed over him.

A hysterical laugh bubbled up past his lips. He’d almost just died, but he finally felt something for the first time in forever. Even if that something was terror. Once the laughter started, he couldn’t seem to get it to stop. Was this what a mental breakdown felt like?

As he giggled nonsensically at the sky, he realized some part of him was still waiting for Mr. Stark’s fear filled angry phone call. Waiting for the man to tell him he was on his way because he’d gotten hurt. Waiting for him to tell him off because he’d done something stupid. Again. But Mr. Stark wasn’t coming. Because Mr. Stark was gone.

And it’d been almost six months now since Mr. Stark’s death. Rationally he knew the man was gone. He knew it. He did. The moments of forgetting were getting fewer and farther between. But for some reason it didn’t seem to solidly hit him until now. Until this moment.

Mr. Stark didn’t know what he’d almost just done and that he was lying here bleeding in an alley. No one knew. No one was coming to help him. Spiderman was all alone.

The crazed laughing caught in his throat and the next second he was crying. Deep, gut wrenching sobs. He rolled over onto his side and curled into a ball even though it aggravated his injuries. He cried and cried and cried.

It’d been almost six months, and Peter Parker knew that Tony Stark was gone but this was the moment Spiderman truly realized it as well.

It felt like losing Mr. Stark all over again.

The next night, Peter laid in bed, wide awake. He’d gone to his room two hours earlier but sleep had evaded him. He couldn’t patrol because his entire body was still one giant bruise and he was pretty sure he still had a few broken bones and a concussion after his crash into the alley the night before.

He’d thought about going out anyway but after his brush with death yesterday, going out this injured seemed too close to trying to repeat the same scenario in a different way. He stared tiredly at the ceiling. He’d been a zombie all day, unable to focus. Had he really tried to kill himself last night? Or had it been a mistake? A brief error in judgement?

He heard May on the phone in the living room.

“I don’t know what to do Happy. He’s not coping. I’ve tried talking to him, but he won’t talk to me.” May said quietly, obviously trying to keep from being overheard. “It’s been months and he’s not getting any better. He’s not sleeping. I can barely get him to eat. He’s still not-he’s not…Peter.”

May fell silent. Happy was probably saying something back. Peter rolled over and tried to bury his head under his pillow. He didn’t want to hear this. Stupid super hearing. May knew he had it, but she probably thought he was asleep. Rightly so. He should be asleep. He wished he could sleep. He hated this new insomnia that had plagued him ever since the battle with Thanos.

At first he’d wondered if it was a side effect of coming back from the snap, a result of some kind of mistake when his molecules had coalesced back together again. But no one else had a similar problem. Ned still slept like a baby. So he knew it wasn’t from that. It had to be from the trauma of everything, which was also probably the reason why what little sleep he did get now was usually nightmare ridden.

“I know. I know. I just…I don’t know how to help him.” He heard May say and he could hear the tremble in her voice. She was trying not to cry. God. He sat up and grabbed his headphones off his nightstand. Before he could hear anything else he plugged them into his phone and started blasting his music, washing out any more of her conversation.

He told himself it was because she deserved her privacy, not because he didn’t need any more guilt piled onto him for things he couldn’t seem to help.

He closed his eyes and tried in vain to fall asleep as the music pounded in his ears.

Peter laid on the couch, watching something mindless on TV. He wasn’t even sure what it was. May had been watching it before she left for work and once he’d flopped down on the couch after breakfast, he’d been too exhausted to search for the remote to change it, so he’d just left it on. Fatigue plagued him. The three hours of fragmented sleep he’d gotten last night definitely hadn’t been enough.

Whatever the show was, it was boring. He closed his eyes. Maybe he could rest on the couch. Maybe a change in scenery would make a difference and he’d be able to sleep here. But the moment he decided to try it, someone knocked on the door.

Peter ignored it. He wasn’t expecting anyone. A delivery person probably had the wrong apartment. They’d figure it out. Half a minute passed and when Peter figured the person had left, the knock came again. Dammit. He was actually going to have to get up.

He dragged himself to his feet and trudged over to the door. The knock resounded again.

“I’m coming. I’m coming.” He grumbled as he unlocked the door and opened it.

And came face to face with Happy.

Peter frowned. “Um…hi?”

“You going to invite me in?” Happy complained, impatient.

“Uh yeah sure. Come in.” He stepped aside to let him in and closed the door behind him. “Um did I…know you were coming over? And forget?”

He became keenly aware that he was still dressed in his flannel pajama pants and a white t-shirt even though it was almost noon. He hadn’t brushed his teeth yet either. Or his hair. He ran a hand through it, trying to calm the wild waves.

“No kid. Your aunt asked me to come over.” Happy answered as they both stood awkwardly just inside the doorway.

“She did? Why?”

“She’s worried about you.” Happy said, not mincing the words.

Right. May had called Happy last night. He didn’t think that meant the man would actually come over.

“And how’s that your problem?” Peter scoffed and walked away, back toward the couch. He didn’t want to have this conversation. Not with May. Not with Happy. Not with anyone.

“Because it is.” Happy said, following him. “Anything to do with you is my problem.”

“Why?” He sniped and flopped heavily back down onto the couch.

“You know why.” Happy answered gravely and Peter looked away.

Happy kept staring down at him from where he stood, arms crossed. If he’d been able to feel anything lately it might’ve made him feel vulnerable, but it didn’t.

“Well don’t worry, I relieve you of any misplaced responsibility you feel towards me.” Peter said.

Happy didn’t move.

“That means you can go.” Peter grit out at him.

“I’m not leaving.” Happy said.

Peter rolled his eyes. “You know you don’t have to do this. You don’t have to pretend to care about me all of a sudden out of some kind of stupid guilt complex.”

“I’m not pretending.” Happy replied, sounding angry about it.

“You don’t have to lie to me and you don’t have to do whatever this is.” Peter waved a hand between them. “He’s not actually here. He’s not going to know if you help me or not. Because he’s dead.”

Happy honest to god flinched, but he recovered quickly.

“You’re right.” Happy nodded. “Tony’s dead. And it sucks. I get it kid. I do. You think I’m not hurting? You think you’re the only one?”

Peter glared at his feet, avoiding looking at Happy.

Happy sighed.

“I know it’s hard.” The man continued. “But there’s nothing we can do about it. We have to figure out how to move on. You have to figure out how to move on.”

“Maybe I can’t.” Peter said, voice dead.

Happy sighed heavily again and sat down on the coffee table, leaning forward so they were almost face to face and Peter was forced to meet his gaze.

“You think this is what he would’ve wanted?” Happy asked. “For you to live out the rest of your life miserable?”

Peter shrugged.

“Because it’s not. I can tell you that for sure. He only wanted the best for you. He cared about you kid. And by doing this, by refusing to even try to move on, you’re spitting his sacrifice in the face.”

He knew Happy was right. He knew he couldn’t keep going like this. It wasn’t living. But he didn’t know what to do about it.

I almost killed myself the other night. It was on the tip of his tongue to confess. It felt like the right moment, the best way to hammer home how bad he was doing, but he held back. He couldn’t tell Happy that. Everyone would freak out. And he had it under control. He did. He hadn’t gone out as Spiderman since.

“I don’t know how to move on.” He admitted instead, voice cracking. He looked down at his lap, embarrassed. “I-I don’t know what to do.”

He dropped his face into his hands. The tears were back.

Happy moved to sit on the couch next to him and tugged him against his side in a one armed hug, hand tangling roughly in his hair.

“We’ll help you.” Happy said softly. “We’re here for you kid. You’re not alone. But you have to talk to us. You can’t keep shutting everyone out.”

“I just miss him so much.” He sniffled.

“I know. God I know kid. I miss him too. Everyday.” Happy said, sounding close to tears himself.

Peter turned his head into Happy’s chest and sniffled, letting Happy hold him. They sat there together for a few minutes until Peter gathered himself well enough to pull away.

“Thanks.” He mumbled quietly and ducked his head.

Happy ruffled his hair and stood. “Come on. Go get dressed and I’ll take you out to lunch. My treat.”

Peter gave him a shadow of a smile and got up to go change.

When he came back out in jeans and an old AC/DC t-shirt he’d pilfered from Tony’s closet a few weeks ago, Happy was waiting for him by the door.

“Nice shirt.” Happy commented with a little nod of his head.

“Thanks.” Peter said. “I stole it.”

“I know.” Happy opened the door for him and they left.

“Where are we going?” Peter asked after he’d locked the door behind them.

“You tell me. What sounds good?”

“Cheeseburgers?” He suggested. For some reason that sounded amazing right now. It was the first time in a long time he could remember having an actual appetite for something.

Happy snorted but his eyes glistened. “Of course. Cheeseburgers it is. I know just the place.”

“Thanks Happy.” He said earnestly. He hoped the man knew he wasn’t thanking him only for the cheeseburgers.

Happy didn’t respond, but he slung a loose arm around Peter’s shoulders as they walked out together. It wasn’t the same as when Tony did it, but it gave him some level of comfort all the same. Maybe just maybe Happy was right and he could eventually figure out how to be ok again.

One-Life Stand 💫 Jungkook [0.2]

🛏 Pairing : Jeon Jungkook x Reader

🛏 Genre : Fluff, Mild angst

🛏 Synopsis : Getting attracted to your long-time best friend, is something classical. Having a one-night stand with him though, is something alarming. While you get scared of your feelings and try to forget about it with the sake of your friendship as an excuse, Jeon Jungkook finally opens his eyes on his own and gets determined to turn this one-night thing into a real relationship.

0.1 || 0.2 || 0.3 || 0.4 || 0.5 || 0.6 || 0.7 || 0.8 || 0.9 || 1 [END]

🛏 A/N : Only writing for this part and the next one, but I still hope you like it! Thank you for readiiiing ♥

This is right.

You thought at first, as you felt his soft hands on your hips as well as his passionate and wet kisses going up and down your burning neck, his cold breath not even cooling it down. Your blood was like lava boiling through your veins, and he was the sparkle that helped the erupting volcano you were staying on fire, as the more he touched you, the more you were melting and getting caught in the heat of the moment.

This is wrongfully right.

The thought was taking its place inside your messy mind, as messy as his hair you were playing with while your bodies had finally become one. Maybe, like Beyoncé's song that had screamed in your ears long minutes before when you had been on the dancefloor, you were drunk in love right now. Maybe, it was the numerous drinks you had emptied up with your friends and him that had led your path to this sweet but soon to be sour moment right now. Maybe, it was the shots you had taken and the circumstances of the party that had pushed you right into his well-built arms that secured your shivering body right now. Yes, surely, it should be the liquor that made you enjoy the fact that you were sleeping with your best friend right now.

You finally got swayed by what was happening in Jeon Jungkook's bed, the few bit of your reason aspired by his mouth that kissed yours too damn well, as if they were meant to be together, as if they had been molded to fit against one another, as if they had waited for the very moment when he blocked you in the dorms' hallway and bent down to close the unbearable – at least for him – gap that distanced the both of you.

This is...

Even when it came to an end, even when you both separated to sprawl on his bed, your loud breathings the only noise resounding in your ears, you were still seeing fireworks behind your closed eyelids while flames seemed to be surfing in and out of your tired body. Suddenly, he came closer than he already was in the small bed, and he lazily placed his arm on your belly before caressing lightly your waist and ribcage with his cold fingers, giving you ticklish chills, but still amazing ones. You turned on your side slowly, coming face to face with his beautiful traits designed by the moon's white rays, and the moment his big yet hooded eyes met yours, you felt it. The compression of your heart, the wobbling of your legs, the call for a kiss that you suddenly gave him and that he returned and deepened, as well as the pressure of his fingers now displayed on your bare back.

The cuddling and kissing went on until you both fell asleep, your face against his toned and soft chest and his legs wrapped around you. However, true to himself, the boy you knew by heart started to move the second he entered dreamland, and he turned away from you, breaking your koala hug and stealing almost all the blanket. But your drunk self felt chillier from the lack of his touch, of his warmth, of the security his heater-like body gave her than from the one of fabric, so she creeped and squirmed on the mattress until she reached the source of warmth that, unexpectedly and for the first time in its life, got woken up in the middle of the night – when usually it's like it's dead.

And when Jungkook turned his head to see you unwillingly pouting and apparently looking for him, he finally took you back into his arms, a smile drawing itself on his thin lips once he overheard your small sigh of relief. But as he was about to drift back to sleep, a really low whisper caressed his ears reddening from the heat, and the words you said melted into his eardrums and shook him to the core : "Don't leave".

With only one eye open, Jungkook checked if you were awake, but to his surprise it seemed you had pronounced the words unconsciously, as your eyes were fully closed and your lips parted, and as he knew your sleeping face too damn well, he recognized it immediately even with tiredness blurring his vision.

"I'm not going anywhere dimwit" he whispered back, even if you wouldn't hear it anyway, and he placed his chin on the top of your head, closing his struggling eye that demanded to get some rest. "Jungkook I love you" you suddenly said out of nowhere, after a few seconds had passed, and Jungkook's body tensed up, becoming more than aware and sensitive to your skin against his. You what? His heart became a bomb ready to explode and this time he leaned a bit back to check once again if he wasn't hearing voices, but more importantly if you were freaking awake. "Y/N?" he softly called, his voice trembling under the pressure and anticipation you just had put him through. You didn't answer nor move. Jeon, you've drank too much, stop hearing things, he tried to convince himself. Still, he had heard you well.

"Well... I love you." he muttered before hugging you harder with the desire to feel you against him and to ensure it was real, it had happened, even if it had been just for a night and that tomorrow would put an end to this fantasy.

This is wrong.

You were sitting in your best friend's bed, the blankets covering up to your chest while you were holding your knees against you, and after a few minutes of being confused between the morning's mist and the hangover's headache, you reluctantly looked on your left to see Jungkook sleeping quietly next to you. Your eyes stopped on his face sunk into the pillow with his muscled arms holding it tightly, before they dropped on his bare back that was slowly going up and down, in harmony with his breathing. His dark brown hair was shining under the dim light of the sun that pierced through the not fully closed shutters, and it fell perfectly on his forehead and brows that were a little bit furrowed.

You had seen his bare chest numerous times, but the vision of it felt different this morning. You had slept and napped comfortably next to him numerous times, but it felt odd this morning. You had woken up before he did a numerous times, but it felt like you had to go and not wait for him to open his eyes this morning. Suddenly, as you were staring at him without blinking, you felt the hands of regret get a hold of your heart that was pounding out of anxiety, and not of excitement as it had done yesterday.

You had felt uncomfortable numerous times in your life, but this morning was the first one that was caused by your best friend himself. What had you done? Suddenly, your eyes saw the boy you've known as the man he'd become, and it gave you the chills to think of him that way.

Well, now that your fuzzy mind was thinking about it and picturing devilishly all your friendship memories together for you to grow even guiltier, you admitted you actually had been seeing him from that weird angle for a few months now, especially since that one time, the exact one he had brought up and got mad doing so, last night. The exact one that had triggered everything, last night. How funny.

But back then, if you had been as shook as you were right now, you still had brushed off the thought quickly. Right now, the physical barrier you had broken surely was going to be harder to build back and couldn't secure you in the reassuring ment you've been enclosing yourself into : "I-don't-like-him-he's-my-best-friend-that's-all-yes-he's-a-beautiful-growing-man-but-he-remains-the asshole-he-is-in-my-eyes-nothing-less-nothing-more-ok-thank-you-stop."

To be continued...

A/N : Ok I know this one is rather short so... Should I publish the next part tonight as well? Or wait for tomorrow? hehehe...

I've finally caught up on LoT, (except the Ava robot episode because my TV failed to record it) and sadly it was mostly disappointing.

- The way they tried to make Damien Darkh sympathetic was absolute bullshit. No Country for Old Dads was an especially frustrating waste of time. Sure, many of the lines were funny, but that’s where it should’ve ended, instead of getting serious and spending so much time on development and humanization for villains when the majority of the main characters have gotten close to nothing all season.

And then it only went further downhill, with the whole oh let's all weep sad sad tears for this Nazi collaborator who fed his daughter to a demon because now he feels real sad about being too dumb to realise that maybe feeding her to a demon wouldn't be very good for her.

There have been times that I've found him entertaining/a good villain, but he has thoroughly worn out his welcome. If they just hadn't overused him, he could still be an enjoyable villain, but no. There is absolutely nothing left for the character, they have beaten that dead horse into a bloody pulp. If he comes back again oh my fucking god I will lose my damn mind.

- I also hated that Ray let Nora escape at the end of the finale. Yeah, she's not as bad as her dad and maybe she could be redeemed, but that doesn't mean you can just casually help her escape from prison just because you really really really hope that she won't keep killing people. The writers need to Stop making Ray such a dopey, buffoonish caricature. He should've grown up somewhat by now.

- Everything with Ava/Sara was just a giant WTF as always. Even if I didn't hate Ava, and the way she's nuked Sara's character progression this season, I'd still think it was ridiculously poor writing that she went from hating Sara to 'loving' her in only a few episodes with zero build up. Honestly, even if she'd gone from neutral to loving Sara with only a few episodes build-up, it would have been too rushed.

-Speaking of zero build-up, the Zari/Jonah Hex thing was weird too. This show sure does love it's badly written, out of the blue, shoe-horned in romances. Hopefully the Zari/Hex thing was a one-off joke, never to be referenced again.

- I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I've always thought Nate/Amaya was the least badly-written romance on the show, and I'm glad they got some closure, and I’m especially glad that Nate's awful, sexist behaviour in the first few eps of this season seems to have been an anomalous moment of terrible writing and he went back to acting normal for the rest of the season.

- I'm cautiously optimistic about the news that Maisie will still be a cast member in season 4. Of course it could all go horribly wrong, but hopefully whoever she plays will be more Harry, less HR in terms of successful same actor/different character scenarios. On one hand, I'm very glad she's sticking around in some capacity, on the other hand, if they fricken do something to ruin Amaya, i.e. bring in some annoying or evil version of her, or have some timeline change that ruins her life, especially after she got a reasonably well-concluded story arc and respectful sendoff, I will be furious.

- I don’t have much of an opinion on Wally. Aside from his first episode with Rip (which I loved), he didn’t get enough focus for me to really make up my mind whether his addition to Legends is going well or not. (Unless of course there was more focus on him in the episode I haven’t seen yet.) Assuming he’s still on Legends next season, I hope they’ll do something interesting with him.

It’s been pointed out before of course, but I will add my agreement that his referring to Amaya as a basic bitch was OOC badly written nonsense. Even if he was supposed to be quoting Nate, which I don’t really think he was, it still was just weird and jarring. That said, I don’t think it’s unrecoverable from. As long as they don’t make a habit of giving him lines like that, I’m still thinking he’s better off on Legends than Flash, because you could practically forget he existed on Flash half the time after season 2. On the other hand, he may suffer from the same problem all over again, that he’ll need to be taken out early all the time and just basically never do anything much so the plot can work. That’s the unavoidable problem with overpowered characters.

- I've heard that apparently it's not absolutely confirmed that Jax's departure was Franz Drameh’s choice. If not, then it's absolute bullshit that they'd write him out so unceremoniously. Literally what the flying fuck was the point of making his arc in the first half of the season learning how to be on the team if he's not part of Firestorm, if they were just going to have him decide to leave anyway? If the actor wanted to leave, sure, fine, whatcha gonna do? but if not... I'm having trouble thinking of a reason besides racism for treating a character and actor so poorly.

- Rip's death felt very lazy and cheap as well. It left me with a very strong sense that the writers just decided in 0.2 seconds that they couldn't think of anything else to do with him so why not just throw him out? At the very least, his big Heroic Sacrifice should have been the climax of the penultimate episode, not just 'shrug idk how do we fill up five minutes of airtime plus get rid of a character we're sick of? oh hey, Rip could blow himself up!'

I never overly liked Rip, especially in the first season I found him incredibly boring, but he still deserved better than a stupid death like that, and I’m sadder than I thought I would be. Still, out of everyone who’s been there since season 1, if someone had to go, I’m glad it wasn’t anyone else. Other than Mick, of course.

-The time that was wasted on a rat funeral, which, like several of the funny scenes in No Country for Old Dads, would have been fine if it wasn’t for the fact that they were taking up space that should have been used for character development for the mains and respectful goodbyes for those that have died/left.

- One of the few things I absolutely loved was the Beebo vs Mallus fight. It was one of those hilariously wacky fun things the show does well, how could anyone not appreciate the glorious ridiculousness of the big showdown of the finale be between Discount Furby and Discount Balrog? But it was bittersweet because it was just a reminder of how unfortunate it is that the show can be so fun, but also fuck some things up so badly.

The John Noble bit was hilariously amazing as well. Also, I did not know he played Denethor until now. Didn’t recognize him because of the wig, I guess.

I’m... not sure what I thought of Grodd trying to kill Obama. It was just too odd to process properly.

-The less said about Mick the better. I just don’t know why he’s still there when he hasn’t done anything except complain about being on the team and make bigoted jokes in a season and a half.

you two would go on an observatory date!!!! he would make sure to take you to the one that has the most mesmerizing view to surprise you! the night would fly by and he’d keep making references to books he read to impress you and he’d talk about how the universe inside you shines brighter than all the stars in the sky :( Occasionally you’d crack silly jokes just to make him smile nd see his lil dimple and you’d have the best time!

taehyung- @kingtae ? could it be because i know u so well to know youd get along soooo easily with tae?? is it your love for him????? idk honestly i just feel like you two would be the softest couple fdsgfrg he even wrote that part of 4 o’clock about writing a letter to the moon for you

I feel like you two would go to the beach?? it would be super out of the blue and you would both walk around and take pictures of the animals and be super silly and full of love for eachother! He wouldnt stop smiling a big bright smile because you make him so happy and whenever he could he’d sneak pictures of u to remember the fun time you both had :( you two would buy ice cream and cotton candy together nd get on all the rides at the pier!!! the only reason the date would end is bc most of the shops closed hours ago but you didnt even notice because you were so focused on eachother

ABOUT THAT KISS BETWEEN HARRY AND GIL IN DESCENDANTS 2, THE SCENE THAT WAS CUT

****NOT ANDI MACK RELATED BUT I’VE GOTTA GET THIS OFF MY CHEST**** I’ve seen drama queens/kings, people. On both sides. There are those who are so far in their homophobia that they say things like “NoT hOmOpHoBiC BuUuUuUuT ThAt Is S o GrOsS, I hAtE LgBt!!!” And then there are those who are claiming they’d suddenly watch a movie they haven’t given a single thought to all this time if THAT kiss was kept in “I hOnEsTlY wAsN"t EvEn GoInG tO wAtCh It In ThE FiRsT pLaCe BuT lIkE i ToTaLlY wOuLd HaVe HaD iT bEeN kEpT iN”. Why say you hate a group of people if you claimed 0.2 seconds ago that you’re not a hater? Why admit you weren’t going to even watch a movie, have no interest in it whatsoever, but if two guys kissed you’d suddenly be a fan because of that - not even focusing on the characters or story just the “progressive”? As someone who’s part of the LGBT+ community, I can honestly say, personally, I don’t care. The movie was good without the scene, it most likely would have been good with it too. I don’t think that scene affects anything. Now if it were a kiss between Mal and Evie - heyyy😉😘! But let’s acknowledge that if it were a romantic kiss, it wouldn’t have made sense anyway. Not to their characters. Or to the story, for that matter. Heck, I was shipping Uma and Harry and all I got was this kiss between Mal and Ben so you can assume I’m still lowkey salty about this. Now if it were a silly kiss, one exchanged out of random air when Harry is being Harry (a.k.a. a pirate who’ll kiss anything with lips), obviously it’d make sense. He’s silly anyway in the movie so that would be appropriate to his character. I can even picture Gil shoving him away, wiping his mouth in disgust. It’d be pretty funny in all honesty. But a romantic kiss between the two? Nah, that wouldn’t make sense. Harry seemed to be into Uma anyway (even though there was no kiss😒). Now because I mentioned this earlier and I’ve made it clear I’m big on things being coherent, I will address this: no it would not make sense if Mal and Evie kissed. Would it be great? Heck yes! I would explode from excitement!! But it just wouldn’t make sense….to the kids. In my opinion it’s easy (though that’s debatable) to explain to kids that sometimes boys like boys and girls like girls, but anything else is a bit harder to explain - fathom as a child. Though times are changing sooo idek. This is just my opinion, going off what I’ve witnessed of the kids in my own life. As adults, Evie liking Doug but then suddenly admitting a crush on Mal would make sense and we’d label her Bisexual or Pan, possibly. But to a kid, that’s just really hard to fathom and accept. Now, kids are not innately homophobic or even such a thing for not being able to accept that a guy could like a guy, they’re kids and even kissing can be disgusting until they’ve gotten a little older. But still, I’d be against it (for the kids!) but then I’d be for it (because logically it can happen!) so that’s where I stand with that. It’s all kinda ambivalent. Idk… And no, I don’t think Disney is homophobic simply for taking out this scene, I’m sure there are many more (or at least a few besides this) that were cut too, and clearly recent moves they’ve taken with certain shows and movies and characters on those shows/movies have proven they’ve been wanting to be more diverse. Keep in mind, however, they are a big company and the way to get more viewers and more money because of ratings is to somewhat cater to the larger part of their audience - who are heterosexual. Not all kids may be uncomfortable with two guys kissing but certainly a majority of parents would. But if Disney really did remove the scene due to it not making sense, story wise, then that’s fine and completely reasonable too. Whatever the reason, it’s out, let’s get over it. (But let’s just please make Cyrus Goodman canon gay, k Disney?) One more thing I’d like to address! Some people have said it’s good it was taken out because kids don’t yet know about sexuality……but don’t they though? Heterosexuality is presented in nearly everything Disney, yes, even in Descendants 2 with literally everyone who’s crushing on someone or in a relationship. As I’ve said before, it’s easy (and yes debatable) to explain to kids that sometimes boys can like boys and girls can like girls. Keyword: like. As in “crush on”. That doesn’t have to be sexual. You could crush on someone at 5 y/o! It isn’t sexual to kids, WE as adults sexualize everything and THAT has got to stop. If homosexuality shouldn’t be displayed in any Disney film or show simply because it involves the word “sex” in its orientation then, hey, let’s ban hetero"sex"uality as well, why don’t we! Nothing really to do with the movie as much as it is with common sense……..it just really ticked me off.
