Ven and Vel getting jobs xD
Dancer AU!! (technically Veneer isn't a dancer in this but my explanation will be on the bottom! TLDR it was just cool so yippee [there's lore!!!!!!!])
Tumblr media
Also! sorry@imadumdumjewel for the late reply!
If you guys req anything, I'll get to it, just may be a tad late...
Anywho! I ran a lil poll on Twitter to decide on the types of jobs they would have so here we go:
Tumblr media
So I actually forgot to put dancer Vel/artist Ven because I kinda thought Ven would kinda fit the thing but after I finished this art I was pretty happy I didn't put it on there lol.
I honestly think that the other job options seemed pretty interesting, but no one really suggested any other jobs, and almost everyone was enthralled with the idea of dancer Ven & Vel.
For Veneer:
At first, my friend and I were planning this, but nothing really felt right to us. I did suggest Ballerino, but it didn't feel like something Veneer would do without Velvet, because they kinda come in pairs. Gymnast was also a suggestion, but after a couple minutes, it was swiftly discarded because I didn't want to draw Veneer's toes.
Anywho, while searching for other options, ice skating appeared, and my friend suggested an interesting idea as to
Lore time:
When Veneer was young, his parents pushed him towards traditionally male hobbies, such as sports and more sports. When his dad saw a flyer for an ice hockey team, he signed him up immediately. However, some mischievous kid had taped a different number to the hockey flyer, so Veneer's father ended up signing him up for figure skating instead.
At first, Veneer thought he was out of place, after all, the ratio of boys to girls was significant and he found himself to be the only one in that class. He didn't enjoy it much and regretted that he didn't join Velvet in her breakdancing course. However, as he unwillingly went to classes, he slowly started gaining a love for the sport and noticed how beautiful it was.
That led him to go down into professional figure skating and join competitions, eventually leading him to go down in history. For Velvet
My friend suggested swapping traditionally male and female dance styles, which led to the eventual conclusion: breakdancing. Velvet is a strong-willed character who would definitely try to get her way (as shown in the trailer of the movie) and take the classes that she liked.
Lore time:
When Veneer got signed up to do ice hockey, Velvet felt like she didn't have to deal with her little brother all day, and felt that she had a lot of time to herself. At first, she found a lot of things to do every day, running to places, going to parties, and just generally having fun.
At this point, Veneer was still unwilling to go to figure skating classes, (turns out Velvet was the mischievous kid who changed the number on the ice hockey flyer into a figure skating course phone number) but since his father had already paid for a year, he had to go anyways. Velvet would purposely use this to upset Veneer when she didn't get what she wanted, but then would accidentally make Veneer cry, resulting in her getting lectured by her parents, and Velvet holding back tears as she apologized to Veneer (she was totes in the fault here tho).
She realized that the more free time she had, the more her parents would lecture her. She decided right then and there that she would sign up for a class. She spent days, scrolling her phone and watching videos of different skills to decide what she wanted to do. However, nothing caught her eye.
Then, one day, she saw a kid do a flip, and slip and fall miserably. First, she took a video and laughed, and then thought to herself, "Hey, I could do that waaaayyyyy better. That kid's a failure!" And so she threw herself into learning it, but unsurprisingly, she fell flat on her face.
She was unhappy with this result, so she immediately went to her parents and asked them to sign her up for a breakdancing course. However, she had a tendency to give up when things got annoying/hard, so her parents turned her away each time. However, both the nonstop pestering and the fact that she no longer was bullying Veneer (because she was too busy following her parents around and throwing tantrums), they finally gave in.
From then on, she started breakdancing classes, and Veneer was upset because now his sister got to do something she liked, but Veneer was stuck in ice skating hell. He was very unhappy for some time, but then decided, "If she's gonna be happy, I gotta be happier. I gotta upstage her". So, he took to ice skating and started focusing all his efforts on it.
Velvet, seeing her twin brother become increasingly devoted to learning the trade she had forced him into while she had just started to get bored of breakdancing, felt a spark of competition and decided to practice harder.
Her parents were really impressed. Periodt. Now they are famous both nationally (Veneer) and on the streets (Velvet, for breakdancing, not giving up). YIPPEE
THE END

the dvd extras for CATS (2019) do a better job at conveying how amazing the dancing is in the movie than the actual film
like, did you know the cockroaches dancing looked pretty good? is the average viewer aware that there's a pair of breakdancing twins doing some incredible work in the ensemble numbers? that idris elba's physical performance as macavity is pretty good? that the highlight of the behind the scenes are the actors arriving on set to see those giant props and climbing and having so much with them
the mainstream hollywood movie narrative that was forced onto it hid the actual CATS the musical happening around it. What do I mean? The editing and the camera work and the script was so focused on the "protagonists" that they forgot that this was an ensemble piece, where dancing is the thing that matters.
Anyway that's why when I make my film adaptation of Andrew lloyd Webber's Cats-

Some more Superhero trio headcanons that no one asked for
Max and Surge's job is simple, they are the token city heroes who's job is to come to the rescue when somethings goes wrong in Starr Park. Surge likes the hype and fan attention, Max likes it too but her main mission is to expose Starr Park.
I don't headcanon her as a mistreated worker because she seems young in comparison to those who I group there (Pam, Gale, Bronsons) but she is aware of Starr Park's coverup and gathers clues from her rescues, donating them to Belle (no one knows about this side of her, not even Surge.)
Meg is an aspiring young hero who works at the agency with Max and Surge. She's too inexperienced to join them but Max is very fond of her charisma so she teaches her everything she knows in relation to hero work and rescuing while Surge teaches her everything he knows in relation to fanservise. Meg works at the agency as a repair girl and technical support agent but sometimes she goes off to join the others doing hero work anyway.
Meg often gets hurt, pushing herself or jumping into situations that aren't her business and this makes Max angry because Meg is like a little sister to her and Surge and they don't want her getting hurt.
Max and Meg have both never been to parties. Meg is never invited and Max never shows up.
I cannot stress enough how much I beleive that Meg is a horrible singer. Max on the other hand sings like an angel but is too embarrassed to do so most of the time.
No one knows what Max's real hair looks like aside from Meg, Surge, Janet and Fang.
Janet and Fang are Max's only real friends outside of the agency. Fang and her met at the studio and bonded over a funny movie they saw together but they drifted apart. Then once Janet arrived at Starrpark, the two met and Janet took a liking to her instantly. Janet had no real friends even within her large fanbase so Max was a breath of fresh air for her, that is when she met Fang and the three have been besties ever since.
Max is a lesbian, so is Meg, Surge is pan (or Bi, idk)
Max and Janet are usually very, ahem soft around each other but when it comes to competition, they completely ditch that in favour of their competitive attitudes.
Max is usually a good sport but when the sport revolves around racing, she instantly loses all humility and her ego expands. She becomes cocky and unnsufferable
Surge can alter his size
Surge has a mental breakdown if he is not invited to even one party
Surge is very popular and has built a concrete reputation as a cool guy
Surge is also an awesome singer but he prefers breakdancing
Max can dance but is hopeless at slowdancing, pray you never get invited to a Kertillian Max 🤭
Surge is the "cool big bro" of the group, Max is the mostly cool but kinda akward middle child, Meg is the charismatic little sister.
The three like to sing karaoke together, despite the fact that Meg's singing is earrape
Max likes tacos
Meg cries, like a lot She's very sensitive and easy to hurt
Max is socially akward and has a hard time communicating with people when under pressure.

thoughts on wish. (spoilers below)
just a nice, harmless, old-fashioned disney movie. not disney's best by far, but far far FAR from bad
animation was good. full stop
the soundtrack. julia michaels is an amazing songwriter and I feel like her style gives this movie soundtrack a very unique vibe among disney classics. maybe she went just a little too pop-ish in some parts that required more broadway styled tunes and lyrics
loved the introduction with the classic disney book
some critic said the disney easter eggs and references were distracting or like,, they were trying to cover up a bad plot with easter eggs for fanservice. well not true lol. I don’t consider bambi’s mom blink and miss cameo as fanservice I consider it childhood trauma coming back. where’s the fanservice in it
people from all over the world coming to rosas. liked that
“welcome to rosas” was okay I just wonder if she does this for any person coming to rosas. like. like it’s a job? she’s getting paid?
asha is a nice character, despite falling a bit under the "adorkable" main girl stereotype. I still feel like she's well characterized, she is stubborn, selfless and will do anything for her family. stan
valentino's not annoying as you'd think
asha's friends are so cool please I love them all so much HOWEVER some of their lines felt a little flat?? they could have been WAY more fun easily I just wish they had more screen time
gabo is wasted potential you can't tell me otherwise
dahlia was literally nerfed you know that
I love that they picked simon to be the depressed one (he’s meant to represent sleepy from seven dwarfs)
bazeema randomly disappearing because she's an introvert she's so right we do that sometimes
I've seen people complaining about disney being politically correct (as always...) for finally making a movie with a classic villain and then making him redeemable, well he's not?? movie ends up bad for him just like with old villains?? this is literally what we’ve been asking for, a villain who is just a villain. king magnifico has motivations of course but still does bad things and gets punishment for that. classic old school disney villain. don’t know what you want
queen amaya, my love whom I owe my life, marry me
“at all costs” listen. this felt a little out of place. that’s because they apparently changed the context to the song. it was supposed to be a love duet between asha and a scrapped human version of star who was like. a jack frost-y character who fell in love with asha. in the final movie, asha and magnifico are singing to the wishes. it still kinda works, but I really wish we got to see the other way round. looks like they really didn’t want to go full classic love story route, but it’s a shame. I’m sure that would have been beautiful and very very disney. the demo version sung by julia michaels and benjamin rice gives you a glimpse of what might have been and it’s just so good, you should really listen to it
actually listen to all the song demos
that one lady screaming in the crowd I forgot her name but shout out to her
asha's family was there
her grandfather turning 100 just like disney and wishing to inspire people and then composing when you wish upon a star after the credits?? so what??? this man is disney???? wtf????? crying
“this wish” bop. next
star’s not annoying as you’d think
the animals were cute john the bear my beloved also the mushrooms please
“I’m a star” actually empowered me okay!!! you know what that squirrel is fucking right we are fucking stars!!!!
“thank you for not eating me john” “you’re welcome bambi” that was wild
breakdancing chickens and it didn’t feel cringe. a miracle perhaps
asha’s friends are so normal about star
simon being sad about making star sad… certified good guy
did I mention I wish we got more of asha’s friends
anyway why does star only grant the animals’ wishes. why do all animals just wish they can talk human
I'm thinking screaming lady's name was sania maybe??
“this is the thanks I get?!” is the perfect song for magnifico. way more in character than “at all costs”
magnifico coming to asha’s house was scary
asha really can swim is she also moana or smth
simon betraying her broke me. never trusting a himbo again
“knowing what I know now” instant bop. please all of them singing together about magnifico being a bastard? queen amaya suddenly entering the room and the music stops and they all just stand there like oh man we fucked up? and then the queen just slams the door and bursts into singing about her husband being a bastard too?? that gave me major chills like yeah girl leave him take me instead
asha and wands: a love story
the bunnies please
“this wish (reprise)” they really defeated the villain with the power of friendship AND by singing this is the most disney movie to ever disney
queen amaya becoming the single queen she deserves to be you go girl (but I'll still have her if she wants me)
simon my man we forgive you you were depressed. it’s not your fault
asha becoming a fairy godmother is actually kind of cool
"oh so you wanna fly? nice. meet peter pan" honey you say it so casually
A BIT SALTY ABOUT THE ENDING. it's not bad but that would have been WAY more emotional if they let us see asha say goodbye to star. especially because they say it's gonna happen soon, so what's the point in not showing us?? asha and star hugging and crying and then star flying up to the sky. asha looking up at the stars, smiling with tears in her eyes and then the camera moves up to the sky and star has become THE star like the one in pinocchio and princess and the frog. all of this with the "this wish" instrumental. that was a perfect way to wrap it!! also oh my gosh imagine asha saying goodbye to star boy!!! ç_ç
the credits with various characters were a nice touch but why on sweet planet earth did they put yokai as a representative of big hero 6
the credits song, "a wish worth making" just... exists. the lyrics though. they hit hard
I really stayed until the end of the credits just to watch 3 seconds of sabino playing music
final verdict: was ALL the hate for this movie deserved? hell no maybe you should just remember you’re a star and relax

Flips Whitefudge Headcanons:
So um, since I decided it be really interesting to ship Flips with my BB oc, Willow I thought it would be fun to list some headcanons. The more I can develop his character, the better it is for hypothetical shipping art. So here we go! 1. Flips Whitefudge's is not his legal name, only his rapper name. His legal name is Philip J. (James) van Tripp
2. He's 29 going on 30 soon. Hip hop became his and his mother's whole thing when he was 11 1/2 years old. 3. His favorite snack is white chocolate covered pretzels (big shocker I know!)
4. Flips lives with his mother until his dancing and/or rapping career takes off. He's not a complete slacker though and does try to help around the house when he's not completely distracted with his hip hop aspirations (which is admittingly almost all the time).
5. He's desperate for dance battles during his mom's hip hop classes because any time he's tried to enter a dance battle on the streets, no one takes him seriously.
6. Whitefudge was originally an insult from his younger years that made fun of his cringy attempts at being street that Flips reworked to being part of his identity in a positive way.
7. Even though hip hop dancing is his main passion, he also dabbles in beatboxing, rap battles, and is a graffiti appreciator.
8. Shelly is a single parent and got her son and herself deeply invested in hip hop 18 1/2 years ago as a trauma response to Flips' father leaving them (can't decide if I want it to be abandonment or death though). That's right, I'm making the cringy humor of Shelly and Flips linked to angst. Why can't I let just things not be that deep?! 9. "Malibu's Most Wanted" is Flips' favorite so-bad-it's-good, guilty pleasure movie to watch every now and then. He will deny any resemblance to him and the main character though. (Any time I see Flips I think of that movie even though I haven't seen it in years. So I might as well connect it to him.) XD
10. Shelly and Flips love watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and "Living Single" together. (Full disclosure, I never seen "Living Single" I just picked 90s sitcoms that were centered around a hiphop/rap artists. I love Fresh Prince though.) In general, their tv majority of the time stays on the BET channel or MTV (though they still mourn the lack of music videos on the channel). 11. Shelly bans Flips from practicing any breakdancing moves that involves his head being upside down to avoid potential neck breaking. She will lift the ban when she sees her son be able to do other intense break dancing moves without literally breaking anything. 12. Flips often thinks about joining Jairo's capoeira classes to help improve his hip hop/break dancing skills but has yet to have fully commit and finally join.
13. Flips and Shelly are one of those people that unironically dab, unfortunately. 14. Flips tried to be a disc jockey a few times in his life but he never got passed doing more than small events like school dances. 15. Despite appearing confident and charming, Flips is not so great at the dating game. Most potential partners find him way too extroverted or too focused on hip hop that it's basically his only character trait, which makes him annoying. He tries not to let it get to him though because he likes himself and that's all that matters. Someday someone will be able to handle all of him, he hopes so anyway. Okay, that's all the headcanons I can think of for him so far. I hope you find them amusing or potentially useful. Maybe I'll edit this post later to add more headcanons. Only time will tell. Thank you to all who read my ramblings. lol

Some people I talk to recently told me that I’m a good writer. They asked me how I got there, and I don’t know really how? I’ve always read stories, always told stories, and always wrote stories. But there are things that have helped me, and things I do that help. And then I started talking, and I couldn’t really stop, and that’s really the nature of storytelling, anyways.
Keep a journal. Record your dreams. Take part in a play and do a terrible job at acting. Sing and write a song and perform it for your pet dog and get caught doing it and laugh and do karaoke with a friend afterwards. Describe a colour to a blind person, and describe a sound to a deaf person. Describe touch to the wind.
Sit in a park and tell the story of the man feeding the ducks and make stories out of the clouds and open the dictionary to a random word and describe that word as if its the person you love most. Go to TV Tropes and click “random trope” and read about all sorts of crazy things.
Watch that video where they do Romeo and Juliet without rehearsal and memorize the famous speech from Hamlet, even if only for a week, read crappy comic books and web novels and take a writing class or workshop at the library. Study grammar and ask why it works the way it does.
Describe a duck the way nobody would describe a duck. Watch Game Theory even if its buckwild because maybe it will make you think and listen to Hello Future Me and spend hours worldbuilding and read the dictionary for the sake of it.
Watch WWE and Jackie Chan movies and describe the fight scenes as best you can. Watch ballet or tap or breakdancing and do the same. Capture the flight of a bird in a single, long sentence that never seems to end. Get a notebook and write every stupid idea you have and burn it and start over again. Write letters that you’ll never send.
Write poetry and hate it and start over. List your favourite tropes, rant about the film you hate the most, discuss the purpose of the symbolism of flowers in whatever TV show you’re interested in. Work at the school play, go see the school play, be a part of the school play. Listen to musicals even if you never watch them, talk to yourself even when you’re not home alone. Drive people nuts and never, ever, ever shut up, because you have words and that means something.
And write what you want. If its dark if its disgusting if people hate it, who cares. Write kinky stuff and write smutty stuff and write shippy stuff. Write stuff nobody else wants to read, and then go read My Immortal to your friends and cry laughing about it because nothing is crazier then My Immortal.
Learn another language, read in another language, even if it makes your head hurt. Go through pens like they’re candy and break pencils and type until your hands hurt and you can’t think anymore.
But whatever you do. Make it a story. A bad story a happy story a crack story, it doesn’t matter. Just write it. Tell it. Think about it. Tell a story. Even if just to yourself.

14.02.2024 (diary entry)
today my school had a valentine's day dance which was both really unsatisfying and also really fun?
also my crush was selling cookies and it was either him or the fact that my ears were being blasted by some crappy quality cher that made me completely bluescreen 😭😭 and somehow i. forgot. english? he was like "so how many you want?" and i was like "uh. uhhh." anyways he's part of my friend group and also really nice so eventually he got it out of me 😭
i witnessed not one but TWO irl versions of that one disney movie thing where the nerd comes out of their shell?? i'm so confused i didn't think that was real
the boy version: nerdy bean-lookin' boy starts dancing and everybody hypes him up
the girl version: certified cool guy asks certified not-cool girl to dance and then she stutters and then they dance and it's awesome
and yeah missy nerd girl is one of my best friends and it was super cute, i'm so proud!! (wiping away tears) (she's all grown up) and then we all started a dance circle over possibly one of the nerdiest guys in the school because apparently he can BREAKDANCE?? hellO??
so yeah crazy times 😭
🌟🎧🌟: believe by cher
(not by choice)

YES EXACTLYYYY like if nothing else people refusing to treat her as anything other than the player character's amazing motherly savior just walls off this entire dimension of her character. Like the second people formed an attachment to her, this metaphorical anvil landed on her head and flattened her character into a cartoon pancake n just leaves swathes of unexplored territory
Like as much as people want to ignore it, there were YEARS between her losing @sriel and ch@ra and then meeting Frisk. She chose to spend those years alone in the Ruins, in the middle of a war that she was supposedly so bent out of shape about, despite being the fucking QUEEN. That's like. Pretty god damn dubious at best
And in the few times I've seen people acknowledge this they seem to frame it in a way that makes it seem like she had no choice in the matter, which... Didn't she??? Realistically, what would she have been afraid of? Asgore? What’s he gonna do to her? I get that she might have had a lot of emotions tied to him, but like. If we can agree that Asgore shouldn't have had a kneejerk reaction to the death of both his children, I think it's perfectly acceptable to think that Tor1el could've sucked it up long enough to confront Asgore. It's not like she had any trouble lecturing him after she saved Frisk at the end
 (tangent warning lol) And that doesn't even touch on any of the fallen children, like . I could write several more paragraphs on them alone because why the fuck did she let it happen so many times before trying to do something about it. She explains it a little bit by saying they insisted on leaving but that. Doesn’t mean she HAD to push them out the door with exactly One Slice of Pie to hopefully keep them from death. And you would think after the second time it happened she would’ve come up with ANY other plan. It fr took until child #7 for her to do anything about it and her solution was to hold Frisk prisoner, essentially. She had HOW long to think that through??????? (end tangent)
Circling back to my og point though like I wouldn't even be AS bothered by people writing all of that off if they didn't ALSO turn around and say "Ummm it bothers me that Asgore just gets off the hook for everything he did." Oh THAT bothers you? Does it also bother you that everyone's favorite Undert@le ending involves Frisk being adopted by the person who let them (and several other children who died as a result of this) loose, alone, in a world that was actively hostile to them, after trying to keep them in her house against their will for the rest of their life? How about silly goofy Dunkle S@ns who had to be told not to instakill Frisk the moment he laid eyes on them? Or are we just being selective about this whole Accountability thing now

WATCHING NOSTALGIC MOVIES WITH THEM! MULTI FANDOM!!
Includes: Darry, Dally, Dabi, Kageyama , Sukuna, Gojo, Tengen +wives, and finally tanjirou mostly female reader (sorry)
THIS IS AFTER YOU GET STOCKHOLM SYNDROME!! SO YES THIS INVOLVES KIDNAPPING
Ok as a sorry for not updating (and all around not being able to come up with any creative ideas for a part 2 of the Zenitsu and not wanting to continue with the light yagami one I’ve tried,) I’m creating this fluffy but still Yandere piece for your entertainment. Please enjoy, there is literally zero Yandere dally content so I’m creating my own.this might have light lime(honestly the most I will ever be Comfortable writing) but other than that implied kidnapping.FOR THE THE LOVE OF GOD I MOST OF THEM DON’T HAVE THESE MOVIES BUT THE NOSTALGIA IS THERE FOR ME!!!!I now nobody actually reads this so without further ado enjoy.
Tumblr media
Darrel Curtis (Dally): The chronicles of Narnia- the lion the witch and the wardrobe
🍰he liked this one because it reminds him of family.
🍰In this particular scenario let’s say Ponyboy and Soda where also Yanderes for ya but more platonic. The definitely are watching this with you.
🍰so yeah this is actually just a cut couple thing and completely tame. Well unless you count the whole kidnapping thing. But to you (since Stockholm Syndrome kicked in like a bitch) the weirdest this is A) how Soda eats his eggs with grape jelly and B) how the Actual fuck these boys eat that much chocolate cake. Like you got a big appetite, but damn these guys could feed all of Tulsa with the amount of food the hoes eating.
🍰Now you’ve grown used to the smell of cigarette smoke and dirty laundry (Darry does his best but it’s still hard considering he has you, Soda and Pony + all of the gang to look after) it’s actually quite pleasant to just sit down, watch a great movie, and snuggle into Darry.
Tumblr media
Dallas Winston(dally): Shark boy and Lava girl
🚬Ok to be fair he didn’t actually watch it with you. It was more of a he comes home to you watch the movie while he’s going,” Wtf is this?” 🚬while he thought the movie was absolutely stupid he still “watched” it with you. Aka him trying to get you to make out with him while your completely absorbed in the movie
🚬eventually he just gives up and falls asleep on you. At least he would have if you hadn’t started trying to breakdance like shark boy during the dream song.
🚬Never again is he ever letting you watch something again. Not after you got that fucking song stuck in his head
🚬He may love you Doll but he will literally slap the absolute shit outta you I’d you try to watch it again. You can fight me on this cause we both know man has zero respect for women.
“Doll, c’mon pay attention to me, I’m better looking than him anyway.”
“Wait this is the best part! And while I love you, nobody’s hotter than Mr Electic~”
“why do I love you again?”
Tumblr media
Touya Todoroki (Dabi): Shrek
❤️‍🔥at first he thought you where making fun of him.
❤️‍🔥bonus points if you look like Fiona (like me)
❤️‍🔥Once again another bum who just wanted to have sex with you once you got home. But nope, you where watching the greatest (yet least romantic) movie of all time. ❤️‍🔥Now this could go multiple different ways based on which shrek movie you watch
❤️‍🔥If it’s A) puss in boots, forget it he is turning that shit off immediately. He didn’t kidnap you just to watch some garbage. If he wanted to watch trash go up in flames he’d watch clips on Endeavor. I’m sorry but if he’s going to watch a movie he is going to watch a good one.
❤️‍🔥The same result will occurs if it’s B) Shrek forever after. While it’s slightly better it’s still not nearly as perfect as the first 3
❤️‍🔥now Shrek 3 is a different story. While it is a stupid movie, it is literally his favorite one. Except for the end scene. That he thinks is just stupid. And it is. The amount of crude jokes in that movie is unreal. But never the less he still respects it and adores the girl power scene. Heads up toga is totally watching that part with you.
❤️‍🔥Ok let’s move on to answer 4) Shrek 2 he really doesn’t give a fuck. He will watch it with you but get extremely bored and try be a ass about it and get you to
Tumblr media
Tobio Kageyama: Rio
🥛I don’t care if you disagree this is the movie you two watch. A awkward blueberry bird and a beautiful queen. Umm yes. Again, Bonus points if you look like Linda.
🥛At first he was comprehensive about watching things with you but after watching it? Cheese and sprinkles he was hooked.
🥛I’m not going to lie there are moments when your not even watching the movie and you will start singing the songs. You may be asking which ones? Well in my opinion: beautiful creatures, What is love, and hot wings are his top songs for the movies. (Not being mean, they my faves too)
🥛I feel like originally he thought the movie was stupid until the middle of the hot wings song where he officially was in love with that masterpiece .
🥛he really relates to blue.
🥛in the end where blue finally flies was the moment he cried. No disagreements allowed.
🥛but in all, while he doesn’t shut up about misakes in the movie, this is definitely his type of nostalgia.
Tumblr media
Sukuna Ryomen: Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses 🫀his face the entire time was: 눈_눈 or (ಠ_ಠ)
🫀to be honest he hated it and only wanted to watch it because you went on a hunger strike for him to watch a movie with you. And he can’t have his beloved queen of curses dying on him, can he?
🫀His faverote characters where:
🫀1. Felix because that bitch funny af
🫀2. Brutas because again he’s the best antagonist a Barbie movie has ever had, and that’s saying something.
🫀his most embarrassing moment is when he was fighting and he accidentally referenced that movie. Just picture it.
“DON’T YOU MESS WITH ME CURSE! YOU MAY BE STONG BUT IM A FEROCIOUS WARRIOR WHO WILL NEVER YIELD TO SOMEONE SO EVIL!”
“yeah right, your about as ferocious as a FLEA!”
🫀you never let him live that down. So yeah no more movie nights for you
🫀all things considered he would actually watch it again with you. If, you bribed him well enough. Aka helping him out if you catch my drift. But yeah he doesn’t mind it that much, you could be watching worse.
Tumblr media
Gojo Satoru: Barbie princess and the pop star
💙I have no words
🤍none at all except 5 things: He actually fucking loved this movie hell he was the one who suggested it.
💙he wants and expects you to sing along with him (him as Kiera and you as tori his little
🤍his faverote character is by far tori and her magic hair brush (it’s because she reminds him of you, his perfect little prince/princess
💙He totally mocks auntie A along with tori in the beginning of the movie
🤍he reallyyyyyyy wants to watch Barbie rock and royals next. And after that Barbie and the twelve dancing princesses (his favorite is lacy you can fight me on that shit)
💙Authors note: sorry there’s not much for this I literally had zero ideas for this but I really wanted to write him with this movie
Tumblr media
Tengen Uzui (and wives): Emperors New Groove
✨ok he was the one to put this one on. He finds Kusco so flamboyant and hilarious it’s hard to think he wouldn’t.
✨And having it just be him and his 4 wives/ partners it’s easy to forget he kidnapped you. It’s actually very nice. Just laughing at how funny it is and just chilling
✨those tree limbs he calls arms are so comfy.
✨Although one may think it would me hard to cuddle all those people all together it’s actually fairly simple. Tengen is in the middle, his left hand (this is pre gyutaro )running his fingers through Makio’s hair, who’s head is currently in his lap, legs on Hinatsuru who is currently leaning her head on Tengen’s massive shoulder. On his left your cuddled up to his side, Suma snuggled into you ass with all her strength. And despite what she may think it’s a lot of strength.
Faverote characters:
✨Hina- She can’t help it. She thinks kronk is absolutely hilarious (rightfully so)
✨Suma- surprisingly she really likes Yzma. Nobody really knows why but she says that it’s because she’s funny and Suma feels bad for her
✨Makio- she really likes chicka because how even though she’s pregnant she’s still the baddest bitch in the movie.
✨Tengen: He obviously like Kusco. It’s a pure unrefined fact.
Tumblr media
Tanjirou Kamado: Monsters inc
🥹we all know both he and nezuko cried during this
🥹although it’s very sad he still really loves this movie.
🥹regardless if she’s Yandere for you or not (she probably is just because of how much her brother loves you and she really wants you to be her older sister) Nezuko is watching the movie with you guys
🥹I predict the reason he loves it so much is because Boo reminds him of Nezuko so much.
🥹He would never try to put the moves on you while watching a movie. He’s a respectful and traditional man who would never attempt to do anything against your will (other than kidnapping you) or anything sexual until after your married
Tumblr media
Honorable Mentions Aka ones I was to lazy/no idea how to write (see what i did there)
EREN YEAGER: the school of rock
KATSUKI BAKUGOU: lilo and stitch
YUJI ITADORI: DIARY OF S WIMPY KUD RODRICK RULES (not nostalgic but it’s playing in my head on a constant loop)
SHUN KAIDOU: Anastasia
METORI SAIKO: Hermie and friends: Haily and baylies silly fight (for All my dudes who know what’s up. That shits my entire childhood regardless of if I’m not a Christian now)
Ok I really hope you liked this it took me around a week to write. Im having all of my exams at the moment so im busy studying and have been running low on idea’s, so please send me yours so I can make them a reality for you. Although sines im still new to tumblr I’ll have to ask you to message me privately about requests! But anyway I love you all dearly~ sincerely

so about 3 years ago, i met this wonderfully kind minat/o rper, whose muse was so endearing that they’d left an impression on me ( and ichigo, truth be told ) and left me wanting ichigo to become bffs with nardo uwu  this also engendered a genuine curiosity that i never acted on solely bc i’m a stubborn little fucker who prefers sticking to what he knows best ( b/leach ), that is until very recently..,,.,. and now it seems i’ve spiraled into nar/uto hell these past few weeks omg
( peter if u are reading this, hi ilu, and thank for you for inadvertently ruining me 3 yrs later slkjsf  you and nep/@tattebaios​ have ruined me, thANKs )

@moorsgrimhilde GOTTA SHARE A FIC CONCEPT (I'm not gonna write this because I don't have time to adopt a multi-chap rn but I want to ramble about it anyway because it's fun to think about so)
OKAY you know those cliche ballerina/breakdancer dance movies that never get old because who doesn't love a cliche dance movie?
Yeah, so I am thinking about Vil having this competitive dance studio that keeps coming in second place to Neige's crew despite that Vil's crew is, technically speaking, much more refined. He has some of the best pro dancers in the city in his studio (Malleus and Kalim), but the critics are always telling him his crew's performance is, more or less, "too perfect" and "out of touch" with the audience or whatever.
Vil is about to tear his hair out over this because what is he supposed to do, slack off? Choreograph mistakes into his next performance? Not about to happen because this is Vil we're talking about and he's not going on stage to perform anything but the best of his abilities.
It's still frustrating though, because he feels like he's holding the other dancers in his crew back. It's nothing they say or do to make him feel that way, but actually just the fact that they keep showing up ready to give him everything they got and they're getting nowhere.
One day, though, Vil overhears Kalim gushing to Malleus about this street dancer he'd passed on the way to the studio. Vil doesn't think much about it until a few days later when he's running late to open the studio and has to park a little further down the street than he usually does, so he ends up walking a couple blocks that he usually speeds past and he notices the dancer Kalim was talking about...
Vil doesn't approach him that day, but after their next loss to Neige, he's ready to try anything and so when Kalim raises his hand during a meeting with the crew and suggests they invite the street dancer to exchange some moves with them and add an element of surprise to their next competition, Vil actually takes that suggestion seriously.
He gives Kalim permission to invite the dancer up for the next day.
But to his surprise, when Kalim shows up the following morning, his usually cheerful demeanour is a bit sullen and he explains to Vil that he tried to invite the dancer, Jamil, but his name is about all he got out of him despite throwing a couple hundred dollar bills in his hat.
And Vil just facepalms and sighs deeply like, "Kalim, you can't just..."
So, anyway, Vil marches down there the NEXT day, tells Jamil he's a great dancer (sincerely but with a bit too much formality) and hands him the studio's business card, telling him where to be and when and just kind of assuming he's gonna show up because why wouldn't he?
This technique... does not work either.
Malleus, for one, is not surprised. He doesn't say anything about it, though. He just walks out, with Lilia tailing behind him, while Vil and Kalim are being particularly dramatic because everyone hates them (everyone does not hate them, but now is not the time to talk sense).
Malleus and Lilia just stand by and watch Jamil dance for a while before Lilia starts to try and imitate some of Jamil's moves. That gets his attention because Lilia is doing a terrible job despite being a great dancer in the styles he's trained in. He just looks... super awkward, so Jamil can't help but laugh and ask if he maybe wants some tips.
To his surprise, Malleus ends up stepping in on the impromptu lesson and, well, the way he looks... Jamil is a little nervous at first to correct his mistakes, but Malleus is so chill about it and Jamil starts to relax.
After a while, Malleus and Lilia invite him to come by the studio. They write down the address for him, but forgo the business card, and that does the trick. Jamil actually shows up at the studio one morning...
He's a little hesitant when he realizes what he walked into, especially since Kalim is staring at him like he hung the moon in the sky, but he decides to hear the crew out since they're offering to pay him for his time and he does kinda need the money to save up for dance school.
Anyway, it's not instantaneous, but it becomes clear over time that Jamil was the missing element in the crew and things slowly start to come together with everyone bonding and feeling more like a family.
On the side, of course, there are those who discover something else with each other, and that in itself adds something to their dances, with Jamil and Kalim's styles flowing into each other, and the same with Vil and Malleus as they let their professional guard down...
The ultimate conclusion is they absolutely crush Neige and his crew at the next major competition because this is a happy ending dance movie cliche kind of fic concept, thank you very much jdkaljglkdsjlkg

[ too scared to say ]
pairing: tsukishima kei x f!reader
word count: 1.6k words
contains: slight angst, tsukishima with insecure!s/o cause he’s usually the insecure one in fics, another wedding-themed fic
a/n: had this idea for a while and i’m glad i’ve finally written it. it’s usually tsukki’s who’s insecure and guarded in xreader fics so i wanted to try it out with the reader being insecure this time
i love you.
you're caught off-guard when you hear the words from tsukishima's mouth. you never thought you'd ever hear him actually say them. as much you wished for it to happen, especially after you spent three years of high school doodling his name in the margins of your notebook, it feels too good to be true.
tsukishima looks sincere about it though. you're both seated on the couch in your apartment and even though it's pouring outside and the electricity had died, you can still make out his face in the dim lighting. you can tell it took him a great deal of effort to say that: his eyes are focused on the cushion on his lap as he picks at a stray thread, the sound of his breathing is more audible now as he inhales deeply.
this is the time where you say it back but the words catch themselves in your throat. after all, weren't you the one who got yourself into trouble for being too naive all the time? after leaving high school and all hopes of tsukishima ever liking you back behind, you tried your hand at relationships. you thought every single one of them would be your last, only to find that you had deluded yourself yet again.
meeting tsukishima again, years after high school, felt like a weird universal coincidence that you didn't know if you should thank for yet. even more so when he admitted to his feelings for you back then.
"so, what do we do about it now?" you asked.
"i'd... like to give this a shot," tsukishima said, rubbing the back of his head. you were reluctant, but agreed anyway.
you've said 'i love you' before, more than a few times. and yet, you couldn't say it now.
"aren't you... jumping to conclusions a bit?" you asked, nervously letting out a laugh.
"what do you mean?" tsukishima frowns slightly.
"just, saying that you might not be sure about that yet so... slow down a bit before saying things like that," you shrugged.
"what? you think i don't know my own feelings?" tsukishima scoffs. there's a look of hurt on his face and you can't exactly blame him for it.
"i'm sorry, tsukki," you apologize, resting your hand in the middle of the couch between you except he doesn't reach for it.
"it's fine," he shakes his head, focusing now on the wall in front of him. "i know you're not really the person you once were and, i don't mind that at all cause neither am i. sometimes, it really feels like you have a wall up."
you find yourself flinching slightly at that last part. maybe this is the part when things go south, like they always do. except, you feel sad that it had to happen with tsukishima too.
but he doesn't act like how you expect him to. "if you need time, it's fine with me," is all he says. tsukishima doesn't sound exasperated, nor frustrated at all. but he does stand up and head for the door.
'you can stay,' you think, 'please stay.'
but all you can bring yourself to say is: "take an umbrella. it's pouring outside."
...
that was about a week ago and tsukishima has barely heard from you then. he didn't know what else to do aside from give you space, and also silently regret things. maybe he was too hasty in saying that he loved you.
but, that was what he truly felt, and it wasn't easy for him to say but he did it anyway. 'you're not always losing anything when you open yourself up to someone,' akiteru had told him. and now, tsukishima was riding a bus on the way to his older brother's wedding.
he had just hung his tux on the curtain rod above the window and settled into his seat though when he caught a familiar flash of blue. of course, tsukishima would recognize your favorite dress and sat up in his seat to see you walking down the center aisle. he watched as you looked around for a seat before landing on the last empty one in the bus, which happened to be right next to tsukishima's.
"hey."
"hey," tsukishima swallowed as you approached.
"is this seat taken?" you asked.
"no, go ahead," tsukishima shook his head, his eyes distracted by the familiar dry-cleaners bag that you held in your hands. "let me help you with that," he offered, taking the hanger from your hands and hanging it up beside his tux.
“saeko nee-san invited me to the wedding,” you explained as soon as you sat down beside tsukishima. “congratulations to your brother, by the way.”
“thanks. we all, kind of saw it coming,” tsukishima chuckled. now that you were here, he realized just how much he missed you. 
“i’m sorry for not calling or anything, by the way,” you apologized. “i can’t say that this is all new to me but, it’s just... well... i’ve been in other relationships before and sometimes, it feels like things repeat themselves too much.”
tsukishima nodded, remembering the night when you two met again after so many years. he was working the counter at the bar and noticed you sitting there, obviously dressed up for a date, obviously stood up in that said date too. you were very much different from the young girl who used to invite him and yamaguchi to watch the latest romance movie theaters, the one who sang songs at the top of your lungs in your bedroom, loud enough for those downstairs to here. but that didn’t mean he liked you any less. 
“hey,” he laid a hand on top of yours. “why don’t we just enjoy today? you still love going to weddings, right?”
you smiled gratefully and chuckled. “yeah, that hasn’t changed.”
...
you fully expected to run into tsukishima at his own brother’s wedding and had thought twice about going before talking sense into yourself. and now, you were glad to have gone. 
the wedding was absolutely charming and more than a few of your old high school friends came. you and tsukishima were seated with yamaguchi and yachi at the same table and chatted about old times and what the volleyball duo was up to. saeko looked stunning in her dress and akiteru cried more than a few times during the ceremony. tsukishima looked proud of his brother, and more than a little tired of his new brother-in-law.
“they look really good together,” you sighed, smiling at akiteru and saeko who were breakdancing in the middle of the dance floor, the latter doing much better than the former. 
“yeah,” tsukishima chuckled. “they barely met each other in high school but i could tell nii-chan was star-struck when they met at the shiratorizawa match.”
“and now look at them,” you giggled. “kind of the opposite of us, in a way.”
“yeah, because you were definitely head over heels for me,” tsukishima snickered. you smacked his arm with the back of your hand.
“and you were too dense to realize it,” you countered. 
“not exactly. just thought it was too good to be true,” tsukishima smiled wryly. 
“we should have been accidentally locked into a room together to force us to admit our feelings.” 
“you and your romance movie cliches.”
you chuckled at that. “just saying. would have made things way easier for everyone.” you sighed again and remembered the confession letter you had penned to tsukishima before deciding to stash it away in your desk. then, you turned to tsukishima who was watching his brother and sister-in-law dance. 
maybe you were going to enjoy yourself tonight.
“hey, tsukishima?”
“yeah?”
“wanna dance with me?”
...
with the dancing and frequent visits to the wine bar, you ended up enjoying the wedding immensely. but as much as you didn’t want to, it was finally time to go home. you and tsukishima didn’t even bother changing out of your formal clothes before catching the last bus back home. your hair had escaped from its pins and you were definite that there was mascara smudged under your eye. tsukishima’s tie hung loosely around his neck and he had already unbuttoned the upper part of his shirt.
all of the dancing tired him out way more than you, but it was a pleasant surprise for him to comply with your request. you also had the wine to thank for tsukishima deciding to break dance for about a minute when his older brother asked him to. 
as soon as he was seated, tsukishima was out like a light with his head leaned back against the seat and his mouth slightly hanging open. looking at him, you realized that he was someone you didn’t want to let go. dating him was scarier because of that and you didn’t want tsukishima to be one of those people you were eventually going to say goodbye to.
but how could he be that person if you don’t ask him to stay in the first place?
once again, you remembered the confession letter that you had wrote to him all those years ago. there was a tremble in your hand when you wrote down the last line of that letter, so much that it screwed up the writing and you decided not to send the letter anyway. you glanced at tsukishima’s misty reflection in the fogged up glass of the bus before using your finger to write down that line.
i love you
the words looked like they were suspended in the air and fragile enough to be blown away by the wind. with a swipe of your hand, you could easily erase the message.
and that’s when tsukishima wakes up. 
his sleepy eyes travel from you to the message written on the window and his eyes widen when he realizes what you’ve written down. with a smile, he leans over, and writes a word right under your message.
i love you too

*gentle poke* any ofa/past user headcanons? or whatever you'd like to share!
OFA FIVE UNEXPECTEDLY HAS MY HEART
I was talking with some people on discord about Five’s characterization (I don’t think you were on at the time?), and I like what we came up with, even if it’s a shot in the dark. It boils down into “Five is a chaos child who likes to stir up drama and go wild against his enemies.” (Uh, given the way Black Whip emerged, this characterization seems—reasonable.)
ANYWAYS. This is in a dad for one scenario. One sees Izuku when All Might meets Izuku, and, having no poker face, immediately freaks out. He blurts out pretty fast that um, apparently he’s an uncle now, and the entire dreamscape of OFA just. Goes crazy. Five is particularly ready to nip a potential Big Problem in the bud by just—getting rid of Izuku. Everyone else is varying degrees of “how does THIS kid want to be a HERO?” and “Five, no, it’s not actually this poor kid’s fault that All for One exists, you gonna call One evil for being related to All for One, too?”
Everyone is still trying to process Izuku when the child does something undoubtably heroic and then gets offered One for All. 
All Might: I give you One for All!  Izuku: crying happy tears
Inside One for All: braces for a train wreck of the next few years, ‘cuz no matter Izuku’s ethics, All Might did just convert All for One’s son, and this ain’t going over well with All for One.
Five sees Bakugo a few days after the entrance exam and is like “this kid! Awesome Quirk, riot of a personality, why couldn’t All Might have chosen this one?”
Except. You know how Izuku can see the vestige’s memories when they allow it? Yeah, they can dig into Izuku’s memories pretty quick, and Izuku doesn’t know how to stop them, and they badly need information on this kid.
Which is how, after 0.5 seconds, Five is like “Mistakes Have Been Made,” tries to punch memory!Bakugo in the face, and everyone starts Izuku’s adoption process with varying degrees of reluctance and denial. Except One, whose already adopted this kid as his own. He’s an uncle, and he’s pretty thrilled about this when Izuku isn’t triggering him by rambling on about Quirks like All for One does. 
Everyone’s kind of screaming when Izuku keeps breaking himself, ‘cuz yeah, they’re worried about the implications of All for One’s kid holding One for All, but none of that matters if Izuku dies on them.
Also, as the memory-watching progresses, they’re all like “I Still Have Reservations About This But At Least We Didn’t Go To Bakugo.” 
So when Heroes Rising hits, and (MOVIE SPOILERS THIS PARAGRAPH) One for All goes to Bakugo, Five waits approximately no seconds after the end of the battle to say “I’m going back to Izuku like Right Now.” Everyone else goes you?? Can’t do that?? and Five is like “Watch Me.” (It’s unclear if Izuku got One for All back due to the Quirk willing it or due to other factors, but either way, this conversation definitely happened.)
Fives, by this point, has done a 180 from hating Izuku to cheering, loudly, as Izuku does something especially chaotic. Which is often. I dunno if Five controlled when Black Whip happened, but he was sure trying his level best to get this kid a route to even more chaos. 
(Nana’s like “He can barely handle One for All? Give him some time to adjust.” And Five is all “I’M GONNA DO THIS AND IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME.” Nana sighs and hopes Toshinori doesn’t cough up too much blood at this development.)
Izuku learns about Dad for One, and expects the vestiges to hate him, since he sure hates himself. One is just giving him a big hug, while Five is breakdancing in the back, giving an excited review of all the ways Izuku used Black Whip in the past month. Pretty much everyone else is either comforting Izuku, facepalming, or both.

NOTES (Under the read-more because they got very long!)
I’m so sorry for this one, but it was the only way I could think to incorporate the joke here organically. The line reads “ナニワともあれ歌いましょ (naniwa tomoare utaimasho)”, Naniwa being Osaka’s original name, as well as the name of one of its wards. The pun here is that “naniwa tomoare” sounds a lot like “何はともあれ (naniha-tomoare)”, which means “at any rate/in any case”, so a more literal translation would be “regardless, Naniwa, let’s sing”.
A more literal translation of “looming all around” would be “forward-bent posture”.
Chayamachi is a popular downtown district among young people in Osaka’s Kita ward. The shops there sell various kinds of food, fashion and forms of amusement.
“Ame-mura” or “Amerikamura” (American Village) is another one of Osaka’s popular entertainment areas, this time in their Chuuo ward. Has many Western fashion retail shops, bars, and nightclubs.
“Okonomi”, short for okonomiyaki, which is Sasara’s favourite food. “Okonomi” on its own means “how/what you want” while “yaki” is “cooked”, so altogether it’s “cooked how you want”, referring to it’s versatile fillings. I think this is probably supposed to be a pun, but I wasn’t sure how to reflect that and Rosho carries on with the food naming anyway, so I went more literal here.
Kushikatsu is deep-fried meat and vegetables on skewers. Its origins can be found in Osaka, and both it and okonomiyaki are popular there.
Osaka was once called “the kitchen of the nation” during the Edo period, where many different kinds of food from all over Japan gathered due to the city being a warehouse and trading port.
This is a nice example of how these three use wordplay very effectively - Sasara says “ten-count”, written in katakana. Rei uses a word that can be read as “ten” (but isn’t, in this case) and Rosho does the same with “count”. Likewise in the line following, although Sasara doesn’t use the same word for “sudden” he does use onomatopoeia that essentially means the same thing, bringing the joke full circle.
“碌でもない” means “good for nothing/worthless”. “後光がさしてる” means “to be very thankful towards someone” (enough to make them look like an angel with a halo). I’m not sure I got the meaning of what Sasara’s saying exactly right, but this is how I’m interpreting it. I didn’t pick up on this myself, but someone pointed out to me how this section is in itself a count-down from ten - Rei and Rosho say 10 and 9 respectively, and then Sasara incorporates the rest of the numbers into his lines from 8 to 1. I have no idea how to make that look good in English though...
“Flour-food” refers to how most classic Osakan foods such as okonomiyaki and takoyaki are made with flour.
“Aren’t such a big deal” is more literally read as “how much is monjayaki worth” (なんぼのもんじゃい), the answer being “not much”.
“Kill the beat” (apparently a common phrase in breakdancing referring to being able to skillfully stay on rhythm) and “make some noise” are two different sentences in this line, but they both include a use of the word “hame” (はめ/ハメ) which, when put next to each other, is slang for “having sex”. “108 desires in all” is a reference to the Buddhist belief that humans have a total of 108 “worldly desires”, or polluted thoughts. “Worldly desires” is usually written as “煩悩”, however Rei uses “欲望” which also means desire but in a lustful sense.
A gold driver’s license is what you can get if you’re a “safe driver” in Japan with a standard license (you get points for driving violations, so only people with 0 points can get gold). Apparently these can occasionally get you discounts in hotels and shops.
This is apparently a popular slogan in Japan in order to discourage drunk driving, and according to one source I saw while investigating it’s been in use for over 30 years.
“Stuck in the same boat” is my loose interpretation of “呉越同舟”, which is the concept of working with someone you consider an enemy in order to achieve a common goal.
Rosho says “okami” twice in this line - or at least that’s how it sounds. The first is “okami (御上)” and means “authority”, so referring to the government/Chuuoku. The second is “ookami (狼)” which literally just means wolf, likely referencing Matenrou as the 1st Division Battle winners.
This gave me agony for ages, and to be entirely sure I’m still not sure if it’s right, but whatever. Tell me if you have a better alternative. I’m choosing to interpret “chop end-roll” as “cutting off before the end of a movie”, as “end-roll” in Japanese is how you refer to end credits, so I guess what Rei’s saying is basically “we’re finishing this now”. Also he uses “言の葉” for “words” which is also the name for the Party of Words - but he doesn’t actually say “party (党)” so I don’t think he was referring to them.
“Spirits” being liquors.
Chamisul and Makgeokki are both Korean alcoholic drinks. Also, I was informed that the line “Makgeokki’s here” (”Makkori ga kuru”) sounds a lot like “Maddotorigākurū”, which is “Mad Trigger Crew”.
So this gets interesting. The things Rosho says in both this and the next line are slurred, which gives them a double meaning - he’s saying one thing, but what they sound like are alcohol puns. In this case, “always/frequently (shotchū)” sounds like “shōchū”, which is a kind of Japanese liquor.
Here, “good and (iimo)” sounds like “potato (imo)”, which is something you can make alcohol out of. The same goes for “bare (mukidashi)”, the first half of which sounds like “wheat (mugi)”.
I’m a little vague on this one so take it with a pinch of salt. Rosho says “チュー輩” which is “chuu” and then “party”. “Chuu” isn’t exactly “Chuuo” and “輩” is the kanji for neither “political party” nor “ward”, but considering how drunk he is here I’m willing to believe he’s referencing Chuuoku. You’re free to correct me if I’m wrong though, I’m still very unsure.
Again, I’m really sorry for this. The joke here is that Sasara says “酒ては通れない (sakete wa tōrenai)”, which… doesn’t really mean anything sensical, but literally something like “alcohol can’t pass”. However, it sounds almost identical to “避けて通れない (sakete tōrenai)” which means “unavoidable”. So… un-alcohoidable. Haha.
Bonus fun fact; “okami” is also a reading of the obscure kanji “龗”, which (basically) means “water dragon”. However, as with most kanji, “龗” has multiple readings, one of which (kan-on) has it read as “rei”, just like “零” (Rei’s name). I don’t think it’s necessarily relevant to the song because of the obscurity, but it is an interesting tidbit.
