#bc i'm convinced i'm fucking annoying and no one gets it and they're thinking bad things about me

[chaoswillcalmusdown]

i haven't been able to let go of glass onion (in a bad way) bc there's just something so frustrating about it and earlier today, i was trying to explain it to my brother and i said something about it feeling like "baby(aka rian) just saw get out and wants to write an equally clever script but for some reason it's also a murder mystery" and like. i think i got there. i think my main problem is how heavy handed everything is. but it's acting like it's so subtle and cool and smarT. saying "millionaire is bad bc he's dumb, actually!" is so lazy. saying "haha influencer thinks sweatshops make sWEATpants" is lazy. whatever the fuck he was saying about duke, the "haha alt-right man lives in mama's basement and is bullied by her hahaha" is lazy ?!?!?!?

get out(as my example of an actual clever movie) was smart because when you watch a second time you're like "oh shit that's why he said he couldn't bare to let them go after his parents died. he MEANT HIS PARENTS ANd NOT THE HELP" but in glass onion, a second viewing would just be you sitting there like "that's not actually andi, that's helen." that's not clever ?!?!?!?!?

#i'm convinced i would have enjoyed glass onion if they had shown us that andi was dead from the start #and cut between helen & blanc and the dickheads throughout #like. the “terminally online in 2020” references would have still annoyed me a lOT #but i would have watched it and been like 'sure whatever' #instead of 3 days of 'why the fuck did he exposition the entire fucking plot at me after i wasted an hour' 😠 #i hate when a writer of a movie makes the audience feel stupid for watching their movie and buying what they showed us #it's not CLEVER that this woman was actually her secret sister all along! #that's lazy writing #i get so riled up abt this bc you know how much hype this is all buying rian sdfghfdsfg johnson? #every time this white mediocrity gets swallowed up by people en masse #i feel so sad for the good stories we won't get to see from miniorities #like. one rich white straight man writes some 'quirky leftist oneliners' and it's like we're back in the height of the mcu fandom #but now everyone thinks it's progressive bc it's making fun of unwoke people or 'elon musk' #i also hate how much rian's writing makes it seem like all these horrific rich people are bad bc they're dumb #i'm gonna go watch get out a 50th time and maybe some day glass onion will not be on my dash and then #i won't have to have a stroke abt it #i feel like janis ian with you people #the 'did you hang with AWESOME people and drink AWEOMSE shoooters?????' but it's about glass onion #i don't care if people enjoy it #i care that people genuinely think it's smart or good #i love bad movies #i love practically every early 2000s romcom #maid in manhattan is not a masterpiece just bc i love and enjoy it #i'm gonna go watch maid in manhattan and cry sdfvvds

aot veteran/104 corp icks bc im back on my bullshit

someone requested AOT veteran icks, they didn't specify nsfw or not so I did both and also added sasha connie and jean bc i luv them:) feel free to message/inbox with requests!

(levi, erwin, hange, jean, sasha and connie)

Levi

will visit ur place and organize things without you asking. he'd just be like "ur welcome, now your kitchen makes sense" and ur like sir, I don't know where anything is now??? also he'd def the type to proclaim he's better than you for only getting two hours of sleep when you got four. honestly so many icks come to mind for this one, imma limit it to those two for now (stay tuned lol)

nsfw: tries to be rough with you but forgets his own strength. will try to throw you on the bed, but he does it too hard so you completely miss the bed and fall on the other side of it and he's just standing there like "🧍🏻...my bad."

Erwin

you cannot convince me this man doesn't wear water shoes at the pool. you guys say you want a dilf until you actually get one bc this is the type of shit it entails^^

nsfw: erwin cannot dirty talk for shit. im srry but if you're a lil kinky this isn't the man for you. try to call him daddy and he'd be like "we don't have kids?" and you explain the kink to him and he'd just say, "have you considered therapy?🤨" now he's concerned, boner gone, you feel called out, just go to sleep tbh

Hange

they're def a firm believer in natural deodorant and won't take the graceful hints that it's not working. prob wouldn't chill w them on a hot day is all i'm saying

nsfw: feel like they'd be really good in bed tbh like i'm struggling to think of an ick. hange has big dick energy, weirdos just do it better idk. i think maybe hange would try to spit in your mouth (they a freak) and they have so much and its thick and globby like the back of the throat type spit, your gonna choke bro im gagging as a i type-

Jean

bring back toxic masculinity because Jean's hair care routine is so good to the point he'll call out your split ends, i just know it

nsfw: a fucking chatterbox like his homies know everything. you've walked in on him telling connie in extreme detail how he had you in a full nelson last night while you screamed bloody murder and he doesn't see why ur mad. "babe, if anything i'm bragging about you 😏" fucking idiot istg. also kinda gross but I think he's the type to keep sniffing his fingers after fingering you like well into the next day EWW

Sasha

obvi she can't share for shit so I think she'd be an annoying person to eat out with. like yk when you're with your friends and only one person puts their card down so the rest can Venmo them? I think you can ask her to Venmo 20 and she'd send 15 and say something like "oh I didn't eat as many fries" but she fr did. never puts her card down either so believe it or not? jail.

nsfw: will literally be on her phone mid-sex with you. feel like she'd be really into the subway surfer vids and yeah, you go down on her and look up and she brought her own entertainment? ipad child behavior

Connie

i think he'd say "we" when talking about his fave sports team as if he contributed. like, "really connie, you helped win the superbowl? did you score a touchdown?" grow tf up

nsfw: insane bush on this one, i feel like he doesn't groom for shit and whatever, that's your choice! but I also feel like college-aged modern connie would talk shit about women who weren't bald down there and won't eat it unless it is. HYPOCRITE!! I think when he gets to his mid-twenties tho he'd mature (sasha beat his ass)

#aot headcannons #levi ackerman #levi headcanons #hange zoe #hange headcanons #erwin smith #erwin x reader #erwin headcanons #jean kirstein #jean headcanons #anime headcanons #connie springer #sasha braus #aot x reader #aot fluff #snk levi

"You look like you've never felt the touch of a real man."

It's a comment that would have pissed you off if a stranger dared to say it to you. But you know who this tall drink of water is so you agreeably play along. First, taking a sip from the golden liquor swirling in your glass before smirking.

"How observant of you to pick up the fact that I prefer the company of women. They're lovely, kind, beautiful… " Your pointer finger extends to tap against tan skin exposed by the black dress shirt's two unfastened buttons. You lean in close to the tall man as your nail lightly draws circles causing him to groan. "And so soft and supple."

You pull away the minute Mingyu's eyelashes flutter shut when he breathes in the scent of the familiar perfume you're wearing. 

"Unlike you."

Chocolate brown eyes snap back open at your comment but you've already disappeared from his sight. Easily navigating through the crowded dance floor, the gyrating bodies grooving to the catchy techno beat naturally part for you to make your way through.

A large hand wraps around your wrist right before you arrive at the open center. You're swift to hide your knowing smile before he spins you around to face him, sweat glistening on his brow. It doesn't surprise you that Mingyu finds it difficult to move as lithely as you. Although tonight, it just might be the fastest time record he's found you.

"You were quick."

It's a chase and it's a game. Not the way one might think. Even with such a tall figure staring into your eyes, it's you who holds the upper hand. Like a cat tricks a mouse into thinking its escape and safety are secured, you let Mingyu play his cards like he has the winning royal flush.

Unlike a rodent, though, he very well knows to not have a false sense of security. He's well aware of who has the control. You.

But that doesn't mean he'll give in easily.

"Didn't let anyone catch me."

"Atta boy."

He preens under your praise. Mingyu's approachable. Despite his devilishly handsome features, one goofy smile is enough to put anyone at ease. Convince them to talk him up, thinking they might score a chance. But ever since this little "thing" between the two of you started, when that sly glint in your eyes lured him right where you wanted, he's gotten more efficient at blowing people off. 

Just to be the lucky one to have you.

You wish you could be annoyed or tired of him. Content to flirt with one of the many other pretty women and men vying to get your attention. But once again, it seems like you'll be going home with your little brother's best friend.

Warm hands roam your body. Eager to nudge his thigh between yours, you can feel the pleased grumble in his chest under your palms. He likes your outfit. Fingers tease at the large open slits around your waist, hooking underneath the silver double chain that decoratively runs across your hip bones. He tugs up questioningly and raises his eyebrows at the saucy wink you send him.

"Lace and beads," you challenge, "or nothing on at all?"

Mingyu wrinkles his forehead in thought, biting his lip at the faint detection of something hard amidst the heat of your cunt pressing into his thigh. "Fuck, you're dirty."

"What's your guess?"

"What do I get if I'm right?"

"Shouldn't you be asking what's the punishment going to be if you're wrong?"

"I'm sure I'll like it either way."

The disco lights blur when he spins you again, the narrow tip of your heels almost make you lose your balance if he didn't have such a steadfast hold on you. Like he'd let you go on his own accord. If possible, he presses the back of your body even tighter against his firm body so you can feel how much he wants you. Not that it's hard to miss, tight pants almost unable to contain such thick thighs, well-shaped ass, and specifically his dick bulge — especially when it's straining against its leather confines.

"Naughty boy."

"Says the one that always looks so fuckable every time we meet," his tongue plays with the tiny hoop on the upper part of your ear. "So goddamn sexy."

"Bet if I told you to, you'd take out your dick for me right now. Slip it right inside of me in front of all these people."

The change in music drowns out his reply but you can easily tell what it is by the desperate roll of his hips. Like a puppy in heat, he grinds pathetically against the thin blue material covering your body searching for some semblance of relief.

You snake an arm behind his neck to grab at the fluffy locks he's growing out because he knows you like to pull at it. Mingyu readily brings his lips to your neck to lather you in hot, open-mouthed kisses. Throwing your head back against his shoulder and swaying to the beat, he continues to casually explore. Wandering hands move upwards, appreciating the access to your midriff above the high waistband. 

Brushing underneath the swell of your chest, you hear his frustrated moan at the crisscrossed laces just barely stretching enough fabric to cover your breasts. His brain goes fuzzy with the thought of one light tug freeing those gorgeous tits. The only thing holding him back from doing exactly that is the not-so-subtle gaze of the pretty woman that's been keeping her eye on the two of you moving around the dance floor. 

Who she wants is uncertain. Maybe both? The two of you are trying to blend in, acting as if you're not about to tear each other's clothes off right now. A fleeting glance and you probably look like the average dancers surrounding you but a steady, piercing gaze is enough to figure out the undeniable sexual tension between the two of you.

"And you say you're not naughty, Mr. Kim."

He knows you can read him like an open book. "Only for you, god… you know the things you do to me. You alone. But fuck, is this a one-piece?"

"Yeah, you like it?"

"'Course I do, how could I not? But how am I supposed to take it off? I like you better naked, after all."

"Who says you'll be the one taking it off?" Your aloof tone makes him whine and you chuckle. "Luckily, I know a very efficient way to undress."

"Gonna give me a hint?"

Mingyu knows you've started to pay zero attention to any flirtatious gazes when you're in his arms. Which is why he refuses to let go. But of course, you have other plans. You pry one of his hands away from your waist, interlocking your fingers together. Once his grip loosens enough, you step away from his warmth and firm body. Keeping your hand in his, you turn to face him and tilt your head.

"Your answer?"

Brown eyes sparkle mischievously as he weighs his options on how to answer the initial question asked. Your patience will grow thin if you have to wait any longer so he makes up his mind with a toothy grin. 

"Bet you have nothing covering that pretty pussy of yours."

Mingyu lets himself be willingly yanked forward by the hand you're still holding. His lips collide with yours and he's quick to brush his tongue across your lips, asking for entry. You hum in contemplation once you feel his hands wander down to squeeze at your ass and press your pubic bone roughly against his bulge. Your mouth opens slightly, enough so your tongue can poke out and tangle with his. It's a battle he's suddenly determined not to lose as he fights and wrestles against your dominance in his overeagerness.

You press a hand against his pectoral to try and steady him so he doesn't knock you over and feel his heart beating at a rapid pace. Pulling away, you shake your head at the way he chases after your lips. 

"You're awfully bold for someone who knows their answer is wrong."

"I love kissing you," Mingyu admits more to himself than you yet you catch it anyway. It had taken months for even a peck on the cheek to be allowed. Of course, he'd be delighted with whatever few opportunities he's granted to lavish you in and with a kiss or more.

"Savor it now, baby boy 'cause you won't get another chance tonight."

He's elated, smiling at you and puffing out his chest. Eyes darkening with a carnal desire at the strawberry and cream flavor he can taste with a swipe of his tongue over his own lips. Grateful that you said "for tonight", not forever. A thumb daringly smears the complementary lip tint even further from where it's smudged and escapes the desirable shape of your mouth.

"Oh, I look forward to whatever you have planned."

—

Mingyu lowkey regrets those words an hour later when his cock is still achingly hard — oozing precum that's dripping down the entire angry red length and coating his abs. He wishes he could let his mind wander to ward off the orgasm that's been denied its release but that's impossible with you in his vicinity.

Naked. On top of him. Fuck.

You'd shown him how effortlessly you could take off a difficult clothing set. To know one's surprise, you were the one who taught him how to effectively unclasp a bra with one flick. Obviously, anyone would easily shed their clothes to have a chance with Kim Mingyu, so you figured it wasn't that big of a deal.

But guiding a man on how best to pleasure their partner was no small feat. Although the man only cared to focus on what pleased you.

Of course, it was torturing him. Duh.

Even now, the thought of you simply undressing has his jaw tensing. No one should look that good getting naked. But it's you. Doing it for him. 

"Shit!" he rasps out through clenched teeth.

"Aw, what's wrong, Gyu? Wanna cum already?"

"N-no."

"That's right, I didn't give you permission yet. Good boy."

He's panting, trying to keep his senses together but they're so dizzyingly saturated with everything that's you. 

The flashbacks.

When you'd loosened the laces and let your tits bounce out from their binds, putting on a little show for him per his request. Squeezing them together and releasing before bending over to show off the round curve of your ass and the pretty little thong you had on. Lace, chains, and beads in all the right places he'd felt earlier, you knew you could wear fancier lingerie without him ripping it because Mingyu wasn't allowed to touch.

The present.

His hands are gripping the sheets so tightly they might rip but both of you could care less about a hotel's bedding. Veins lining his arms pop out in irritation as he struggles to rein in how much he wants to touch you, knowing you let him get his fill out on the dancefloor and you'll more than likely let him cum faster if he's well-behaved.

The visuals.

You're gliding back and forth on top of his dick, not sheathing it fully inside you. Alternating between jerking him off with your hand instead while you sit on his thighs so he can feel your slick arousal all over them. He's doing so good for you and you're pleased. You'd already cummed once, making sure to slip just the tip in so he loses his mind over how tight you clench around him for kicks and giggles.

He was not beneath begging for you, knowing you thrived off of it. It would be a lie to say it didn't stroke your ego to have such a big, broad, beautiful man fall apart and break into pieces for you. He might've even cried, definitely feeling his eyes water in desperation now. You love it.

So much that you dismount, turning your back as you reach for your phone on the nightstand. Mingyu moans without shame but this one's out of despair. He'd rather be denied any release from the immense pleasure you've subjugated him to than ignored.

"Hush, baby boy, I just want to capture how pretty you look for me. That's okay, right?" 

"Will you let me cum? I wanna cum so bad. Pretty please?" Hips jutting up at the chill in the air making his dick uber sensitive as it flops pathetically against his stomach. "Please, please, please!" 

His "pleases" trail off into a mumbled mess of plaintive begs, big brown eyes pleading. You purse your lips in sympathy when he sniffles, shifting so you can run your hand through his bangs and then cup his flushed cheek.

"Shh, I'll let you cum baby, I will. But you know I need you to answer me." Taking pictures was already established between the two of you — both having your fair share of candid polaroids and videos stored away. But it was still a vulnerable decision and you wanted his clear consent. "Want to hear it from this mouth of yours."

Your thumb traces Mingyu's plump upper lip the same way he did to you earlier. Although you don't hesitate to slip it inside. He readily sucks on your finger and closes his eyes, using it as an anchor to stabilize his breathing and try to clear the haze clouding his senses.

"Y-yeah… Go ahead."

"Good boy, see that wasn't so hard." You snap a few pictures, eating up how good his dewy skin looks under the lighting. You're kind enough to not leave him wanting for too long, finally returning to wrapping your hand around his leaking cock. "Unlike this bad boy."

"'M sorry."

"Don't apologize, you're a vision to behold, Mingyu," you scold seriously. "And never forget that."

"Oh… kay."

"You deserve to cum don't you, baby? Sorry for making you wait so long." You both know you're full of shit. You're not sorry. "Well-behaved boys deserve their rewards, I'll even film a good shot of when you cum — you decide where so you can save it for when you're lonely."

"Th-thank you," Mingyu wheezes out when you begin easing his cock between your pussy lips. Achingly you start to sink down, light spasms causing your hole to ripple delightfully around the full stretch of his girth.

"As long you don't cum until I say so or you'll end up licking it off the bed."

He's so tense you're starting to fear he could tear the mattress. Consolingly, you bring his large hands up to your breasts, encouraging him to squeeze and tug at them as he pleases. Like his favorite set of stress balls, he focuses on kneading them in a way that has you arching your back and causing you to fully sheathe him inside faster.

Sometimes Mingyu can win in the smallest of ways.

You let out paired sighs of relief when the bottom of your ass meets his thighs. "Where do you wanna cum, baby?"

"Inside, god please, inside!"

He babbles helplessly at the sensual way you swivel your hips but you know he can't hold on much longer and want to ensure your puppy man gets his much-needed relief. "Your wish is my command."

The guttural noise he lets out is followed by an incoherent gibberish of him thanking you as he starts to paint your inner walls white with his release. It's a long one that lasts spurt after spurt with an enormous amount of tension unloading from his entire body. You ride him through it, the pleasant way he's twitching inside you setting off your own climax and milking all that he's worth.

You're quicker to recover, obviously. Tilting your phone camera at the perfect angle, you press the red recording button and slowly move your hips up. He grumbles at the loss of your warmth but you coo at him, fingers tapping soothingly where you've braced your hand against his abs for some support.

"Look how good you filled me up, Gyu." You're speaking more to the future Mingyu that will definitely be watching this but the Mingyu now is still listening. "Such a good boy."

He whines at the view he can see, the way globs of his release ooze out of your cunt at every clench you make for show. It's dirty and sinful which is your strongest suit. You save the video and send it to him once you're satisfied, noticing the way his eyelids are starting to droop.

Shaky legs carry you to the bathroom. You return with a washcloth, making sure to be very gentle wiping him down. He shifts onto his side when you've finished and extends his arm over the spot beside him, a silent invitation for you to crawl under the covers you pulled up over his broad shoulders.

And of course, you do. Well aware of how much he likes to cuddle and cling. Mingyu's a needy man all over and a large part of you feels guilty at being unable to give him what he deserves the most.

But he keeps this game going, continually showing up at every bar or club you inform your brother you're stopping by. You're not sure if you hate it or like it. You've left many openings for him to slip away and yet the man doesn't — only insisting on getting even closer. 

Not even the cold, empty side of where you laid next to him as he fell asleep is enough to discourage him. You see, you're not wrong but Mingyu's not simply needy. He's stubborn too. 

A dreamy grin graces his face at the sight of your trademark pink post-it note left on the nightstand for him. It never says much of any substance but it's not like he bothers reading it. He presses a kiss against the lip stain you always leave on it, breathing in the tantalizing strawberry and cream scent he knows so well that emanates from it. Then he slips it alongside the many others in his wallet. Right next to his favorite nude picture of you and the expired, unused condom from the first night he tumbled into bed with you.

[plutobutartsy]

i was actually just joking about vega and gavin being divorced with shared custody over caelum but i got a bit too silly and now it's just an actual au i have so uhhhh here are some thoughts

first off, unempowered/no magic au + no angst only fun bc caelum deserves it (and so do i)

i think gavin and vega only got divorced because after moving in with each other they noticed each other's annoying habits and just went "fuck no, i can't live with this guy forever"

nothing major just like,,

gavin taking REALLY long showers until all the hot water is gone

vega putting his dirty dishes in the sink instead of directly into the dishwasher

stuff like that

they both just got hit with a magnitude 8 ick on the richter scale and because they're both petty and dramatic they decided living seperately wasn't enough so they just HAD to get a divorce

so technically they're not on bad terms but again, they're just really petty so they bicker a lot and bring up dumb shit the other did for no reason other than to be annoying

they keep the fighting at a minimum in front of caelum (even though it's not really serious)

but once caelum is out of the room?? oh boy

they're 100% the type to kick each other under the table

they also definitely try to one up each other

constant debates on who the favourite is

@super-trouper-lights suggested freelancer as daycare worker but i think caelum is a bit older so they're his grade school teacher :)

they have an enormous amount of drawings the kids made them and caelum is deffo the one who makes the most

they try to hang all of the drawingd up in the classroom but once they run out of space they take some older ones down to keep them safe in a binder (more like multiple binders lol)

some of their older coworkers look down on them because they're very gentle with the kids, they think freelancer isn't strict enough

jokes on them because freelancer is amazing at their job and all the kids love them

both vega and gavin make time to go to the parent teacher conferences together and gavin is lowkey salty about it because he wants to spend time alone with freelancer

that's why he does a lot of volunteering to help with school events and such

one time he spent a month perfecting his brownie recipe for their bake sale with the sole intention of making something freelancer might enjoy

only for him to find out that they were allergic to nuts and couldn't have any

he was devastated

vega found out because caelum told him and laughed at gavin for a solid 10 minutes

pet works at the local arts and crafts store that caelum insists on going to like once a week at LEAST

after vega met the for the first time he kept finding excuses to go back there, to the point where he had to convince caelum that no, he doesn't have enough glitter and yes, they have to go to the store right NOW

after a month he finally asked them to have coffee with him and they said yes

they started officially dating a few weeks after that <3

and YES vega definitely brags to gavin about being with pet while gavin hasn't even asked freelancer out yet

gavin's main concern is not wanting to make freelancer uncomfortable or to cross any boundaries or god forbid get them into trouble for dating a student's parent

so he is resolved to wait until caelum moves on to middle school (he's slowly going insane)

freelancer actually developed feelings for him as well after spending so much time with him organizing school events but they want to keep it professional and they're afraid they might misread gavin's kindness and passion as him being interested in them

"he's just a really dedicated parent i can't believe i'm making this about myself :("

freelancer and gavin truly are peak idiots to lovers

also, freelancer gets all their supplies for the class from the same store pet works at so they know each other and have gotten quite close over time :)

while freelancer is decent at arts and crafts, they're definitely not good at it (they're the teacher that prefaces every drawing they show in class with "now i'm no ARTIST")

pet on the other hand is really good at all artsy things

name a medium and they're good at it i gurantee it

so naturally caelum is amazed by them and always wants them to show him how to make certain things

vega always just wants to watch but pet and caelum talk him into joining them and he literally sucks at most of it lol

the only thing he's good at when it comes to art is folding paper boats and airplanes

pet also makes their own jewellery

at this point they made so much for vega that he pretty much exclusively wears stuff they made

ofc caelum also gets his own jewellery

he makes them friendship bracelets in return

they have a ton of them and wear a different one every day

this is a lot longer than i intended so i'll wrap it up here but if anyone has any thoughts on this please share :D

psst there's a part 2 now 👀

[hamartia-grander]

For that Simarkus Medieval AU (no I'm not obsessed even though it's not written yet, wtf that would be weird, anyway) could we get some minor Gavin annoying Connor and just generally being Gavin in the background?

Like I'm a Knight too but I'm more experienced, you're just a newbie, so I should have this n°1 priority case of finding the rebels, go make me a coffee, also your just-a-bit-taller-than-me brother with the soft looking hair and the beautiful blue eyes that's in the King's special protection unit is really ugly and I hate you both

This needs to be a multi chapter novel size fic please I beg you 🙏

HELPDJFLDNF THIS IS PERFECT

I'd totally write this into a series if I could just get other things written

"your brother with the soft looking hair and the beautiful eyes is really ugly and I hate you both" is so fucking funny and so Gavin, thank you for that

But yes I could definitely see it like, instead of androids taking over jobs, the new tyrannical rulers brought their own kingdom with them when they took over the throne, so there's all these new villagers that are from this other Bad Kingdom and are basically being allowed whatever jobs they like because the rulers ofc prefer their own people. So Connor and Nines were from the "bad" kingdom, both given high ranking roles within the Palace guard, Nines being one of the new ruler's personal guard, and so Gavin is pissed because he was part of the old kingdom and had to work his way up to becomming a Knight, but damn if the head of the personal guard ain't pretty.

Hank taking Connor and Nines under his wing because, while he's pissed with the new ruler taking over, he sees how lost the boys are and how they remind him of his son (ima make Cole alive in this bc I CAN) so he can't help the paternal instinct of looking out for them.

Also, neither Gavin nor Elijah know they're related, and since Kamski was overthrown they never saw each other. Until later....

With the androids = people from the new kingdom analogy we could also say that the Jericrew gang were once loyal subjects who soon saw the tyranny of their rulers and vowed to end their reign, and wanted Markus - a member of the old kingdom - to not just join them but also rule someday, as he could bridge the gap and also they see how capable he is as a leader, and how compassionate he is for the people. When Connor is sent to arrest Markus, Markus manages to convince him that the rulers are corrupt and evil and need to be overthrown. Nines is a bit tougher to convince, but once Connor goes he follows. Gavin is... Gavin. I don't think he'd believe anything they said unless he experienced himself, or maybe even then he'd be in denial. But once Hierico manages to overthrow the dictators, he's quickly motivated to change sides lol.

I want some Leo redemption too, so I'll throw in that since Leo knew Markus best he was hired to tell them everything he knows about Markus, where he would go, what he could do, etc. And at some point along the way, plus after seeing how they treated Markus and how upset it made their dad, Leo decides he's not gonna help them, so he tells them complete lies, insists that Markus is too flighty and scared to stage a coup against the royal family, that kind of thing. And he conveniently leaves out that Markus was an amazing blacksmith, instead saying that his sabotage was actually just his failure at crafting the weapons. When Leo and Markus meet up again at the end of it all, Leo apologises and expects Markus to hate him, but Markus forgives him, accepting Leo as his family, and Leo says "I'm... I'm proud, to be your brother."

man i know yallre just worried for them and it comes from deep appreciation for what the band has done up until this point but, why all of the nihilism??

sure funeral grey and fuck about it are.. pretty vapid in a few ways but, they each have a least a lyric or two worth something and sound generally catchy? rsd and self sabotage are pretty good imo, and seem genuine/vunerable even if they showcase Bad Stuff for awsten. and we havent got to see really *any* of the record thusfar because theyve been so busy, so there can be hidden gems. no ones gotta deny the clear appeal to general audiences, but i dont think we have to shit on it *so* heavily. ultimately they seem to want to keep growing and making music. they are probably pretty wealthy but its likely not enough to drop everything after one last poorly performing album. i especially can’t imagine that awsten would want to “let Them win” by leaving from feeling miserable due to ending up the same as every other artist or “failing” to play the industry game.

it would be ideal if they took these next few months before ymas tour to take a genuine break (minimal writing, no studio, nothing) and let fans know a vague release date but that its for the best so that they can put their all into it. i know realistically that probably wont be how it goes, but i trust them to recognize their own burnout and take *somewhat* of a break before their art suffers for it. even if they were planning on this being the last album before a hiatus, i cannot imagine theyd want to flop hard instead of going out on a bang. this doesnt have to be “the end of a good band” etc, awsten has openly talked about how much criticism theyve gotten from the start even on black light.

how hard is it to take the bands experimentation at face value or at least give awsten the credit of knowing when enoughs enough?

wow this is long and im not even sure if my response will encompass all of this but i'll try

i think the nihilism is reasonable tbh. it's not like awsten changes his bad habits online and it's not like this fanbase gets any less annoying and the songs don't get stupider etc etc. everything and nothing ever changes with this band at the same time. they get older, but habits still stay and never leave.

i think the new songs for the most part are passable but aren't really "parx songs" in the classic sense meaning "playful, but with some serious passion entwined in it that really gets you hooked". it just feels really edgy yet somehow generic when he tries to push some of these sex lyrics in and it just feels awkward especially coming from him of all people. and the complaining songs (as i call them) about shit he always complains about (fans, music critics, being a d list internet celebrity at best) is so fucking tired and also some of the things he complains about are usually his fault and something he can stop.

i do think they want to keep growing and making music but i also feel like they're trying to convince themselves that they are in the first place bc things just don't flow the same anymore especially now that they don't even all live in the same place. i don't think they're sticking to whatever plan awsten had in his head for this album from the looks of it bc i have a feeling it's been reworked a lot and he's kind of stalling its official announcement to rework it in the first place.

as of taking a break, while that is a good idea and you know they probably won't anyways, have you seen awsten? he barely takes breaks and even when he says he does, it just means he's lurking without saying anything because he doesn't wanna say shit. he legit has not taken a real break since goddamn 2010 because even after he finishes something, he's always onto something else. in fact, i'm pretty sure the only reason there's such big gaps between the eps was just to gather the resources and promo they needed to record them in the first place bc they're always making some shit no matter what. i don't trust him to take a break even if they're burned out bc he'll always have something to say and write as stupid as he manages it.

it's ironic you use the term experimentation considering they're really just relapsing into that modern distilled pop punk sound when their last album was experimental one. i feel like if awsten's trying to go mainstream on the radio, let him; it won't necessarily mean it's the best they've put out. and awsten never knows when enough's enough; he'll take things too far every time (love, internet jokes, etc etc) and won't jump back until he stops posting (only for a little while of course and he'll still lurk himself in that time) and come back so that everyone tells him they love him and he'll believe it until he takes things too far again and the cycle repeats like it always does - iz

I always thought Xander confrontation with Anya was about him acting as Buffy’s heart:

Both of them feel betrayed by Spike/Anya and Buffy has expressed how conflicted she feels about sleeping with Spike.

So I saw Xander angry reaction of anger, betrayal and disgust of the situation as something Buffy has been thinking forever and being expressed through Xander because Xander is metaphorically Buffy’s heart.

I’m not even trying to sound like a Xander defender that’s honestly how I interpreted the scene when I first watched it

I mean, it's a valid take, and while I absolutely understand why they reacted that way, and it was valid - Buffy had all the right to feel betrayed and hurt, and Xander's anger at his ex sleeping with someone he hates more than anything was kinda warranted - I think my dislike for Xander has been building up for so long I just can't help but feel annoyed 😂

first of all, I'm still so pissed at how he handled the wedding too - how he left Anya there all alone to deal with all the guests and everything - like, if you came back to tell her it's not happening, why not tell everyone?? why leave her to do it?? - and he has the audacity to make a scene when she sleeps with someone else - I understand being angry and hurt, obviously, but it was just infuriating

not to mention how Xander was convinced Anya did it on purpose to hurt him when she had no idea that she was being recorded 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 - I get emotions taking charge and all but like, lmao it was lowkey hilarious 😂

as for Xander and Buffy, Xander has been inserting himself into Buffy's relationships since the beginning, and I can't be the only one who sees that he's still lowkey obsessed with her 😂 I firmly believe that if Buffy was willing to fuck him, he'd jump on the occasion immediately 😂 (maybe I'm wrong, but like, he's been jealous of her boyfriends since day 1, and that never changed, and you can't tell me he's just concerned)

even if they intended for him to act as Buffy's heart, I just can't help but be fucking annoyed with him

I already hated when he defended Riley (which is a whole other thing I'm not even gonna start on bc I'm still too angry) and here he was again jumping into Buffy's love life like he has any business doing so - even if his reaction is what Buffy was thinking... why do that? we already knew what Buffy was thinking and feeling, Sarah Michelle Gellar is such an amazing actress she showed all that in Buffy's face constantly, I didn't need another scene making me like Xander less 😂

Buffy even told him later it wasn't his business who she sleeps with - and it isn't - even if she's making a huge mistake, it's her mistake and he already expressed his disapproval once, he can shut up now

I think my problem with his reaction was mainly about how fucking entitled he feels to Buffy and to always have a say in her romantic relationships, in whatever relationship she's in - I get that they're friends, but honestly, why are they 😂 if my friend was constantly criticizing my relationships, especially when I wouldn't want any advice or anything from them, I'd honestly stop hanging out with them 😂 (unless it was like a very bad situation and they'd have reasons to be worried, but like, Xander knows Buffy can handle herself against Spike and nothing she does is against her will so 💁🏻‍♀️)

besides, just his entire attitude towards Buffy and women in general kinda takes me out of the show and makes me remember that: oh right, this is a 90s show 😂 (like, okay, there's more characters sometimes making comments that make me think that, but lately it's been mostly Xander)

your take about Xander being Buffy's heart makes a lot of sense and maybe if they didn't make me dislike Xander as much until that point, I'd think that too, but alas, I'm just annoyed with most of the things he does 😂 and, like I mentioned, to me it came off more as another example of him feeling entitled to Buffy 💁🏻‍♀️😂 but like with art, with media also there can be as many interpretations as there are people, and that's what's great about it haha

thanks for the ask though! 😘 (and sorry I went on a rant and it got long lmao)

i'm really hoping the direction take jake to much more of a protector role for the system - marc feels a lot of guilt over killing and steven straight up Does Not Like it, so I'd like to see jake portrayed more as "i'm doing this so they don't have to" instead of just bc he's violent. not only is the "evil alter" trope just incredibly toxic and an awful stereotype, but this alter is also latino coded, and making him have a more violent personality is in bad taste. i want to see jake be conflicted, and feeling trapped in the deal with khonsu - not liking the job but doing it to protect marc and steven. also i would love for marc and steven to change the language they use about themselves - rejecting the idea of being broken or having a sickness that was constantly brought up by others in the series. a lot of how did has been portrayed in this show is already a massive improvement on other mainstream media "rep" and i really don't want to be let down as the story continues

slowly falling in love with the concept that tim's public persona just. is not very well liked. people will talk about tim drake like "yeah that guy's kinda a dick". all his friends and family know he's a good person but tim just likes fucking with people. when he goes by drake he starts twitter drama with himself saying that red robin has always hated him and is using his name to annoy him. when his friends annoy him he goes on twitter and says shit like "idk i just think superboy is overrated :/ like tactile telekinesis ain't that cool bro" and people go fucking wild. i just think it's neat

i need like. jason and damian teaming up for pranks. they meet some new heroes or maybe as civilians meet some people in some sort of scenario, one of the people swears and jason is like

"hey! he's only thirteen!"

and they're all like "uhhh"

and damian just looks up all wide eyed and innocent and goes

"fuck"

and chaos breaks out. give me jason and damian convincing people they've corrupted damian in some way i think it would be hilarious

ATLA

favorite male character: zuko is just one of the greatest characters of all time i love aang i love sokka but zuko is also here having one of the only real redemption arcs of the century. he has two swords and an alter ego. he is an exiled prince. the season one agni kai. so many characters think they're zuko and they're not zuko

favorite female character: i did not like katara growing up bc internalized misogyny i was like booo she just talks about hope blah blah blah but as an adult i was like oh she's so cool... she's trying her best to take care of people and be an adult but she's a teenager who's very angry and has every right to be but also wants to believe good things can happen. she tries to be maternal but deep down she is like actually what if we did something apeshit... she does some absolutely wild bending... love angry healer characters with over-powered magic later in the game. great

least favorite character: i was gonna say mai but then i was thinking about mai and she is still better than most characters from most shows. i think her relationship with zuko was just weirdly written

prettiest character: i feel like i thought katara was so pretty as that lake spirit when i was a kid

funniest character: i think aang... using the omashu mail system as a thrill ride and almost dying TWICE in the same ep. completely lying to those two groups to get them to stop fighting and not feeling bad at all. dressing up as an old man as a disguise. he's 12

favorite season: season one is such a good season of tv. filler that's all about characters and world-building while still moving the story

favorite episode: there's a lot of good ones but i think the season one finale really is so cool... zuko's 'i don't want luck. i don't need it', 'it's over' 'no, it's not', the drama of the avatar state, general zhao choosing not to grab zuko's hand. there's just a lot of intense moments

favorite romantic ship: i was obsessed with aang/katara as a kid but tbh i was also convinced that the earth kingdom girl that zuko went on a date with in that one ep was going to come back in a big way. and she did not. i love people who ship zuko/sokka/suki and i think the comics are leaning towards their favor tbh

favorite family ship: i think zuko and azula are so interesting because they're clearly enemies but at certain times there is that sad feeling of like oh they were really pitted against each other for approval and even though azula won she will always feel insecure about it while zuko was able to give up trying to get it and moved on with his life. they need a tahani and kamilah sibling bonding moment. i'm still sad that korra didn't establish azula as living out in a desert somewhere being a cranky old lady who zuko sometimes visits and who ends up teaching korra traditional fire bending

favorite friend ship: toph and katara is really sweet to me because it is sisterly it is motherly it is nagging it is very loving and protective and rude. i also love aang and sokka for similar reasons bc it is very brotherly and two very opposite people who have being extremely goofy in common. also love that sokka doesn't trust aang at first and then like four episodes later is like this is my weird little brother forever now. katara is like toph is so fucking annoying and spoiled, but that's because she is my little sister forever

worst ship: i was not involved in this and i have no real opinion but i heard the zuko/katara people were always trying to fight people

#a fandom i did not expect!!! i can't believe i barely talked about aang i really do love him

relationships are weird. (actually, my mind is weird.)

(not a coherent post bc I'm about to go to bed; although when are any of my posts coherent?)

but just thoughts about traversing multiple relationships (in the general sense of the term) and my own needs.

it's so weird and I literally do not know how some people are romantically polyamorous bc wow it's hard to keep relationships in line enough as an aro person.

i struggle enough with being touch starved and needing affection in a physical and verbal sense, and just the amount of other stress i deal with being agender and misgendered too, and still learning how i can best protect my mental health during all of that is like. what on earth kind of sorcery is this.

i really want to be one of those people who is just completely honest all the time. beautifully articulate and not holding back their truth at all. doesn't mean I'm mean. i just can clearly communicate what i want and not have it be something i stumble over out of anxiety or fear of rejection. i know it's a practice but wtf it's so hard.

i worry about not being enough for people all the time given that i enjoy touch but get uncomfortable and overstimulated really easily during hug and cuddle situations, and sometimes i want a hug but it doesn't feel good and that sensation doesn't tend to leave me very quickly when it doesn't feel good, it just exasperates my anxiety even more like "agh bodies why."

how the fuck i even function with my overactive intrusive thoughts is a mystery.

things are just hard. expectations are hard. i constantly think that people are unhappy with me. i need to be babied sometimes (a lot of the time). I'm soft and delicate and struggle to believe that anger ≠ abandonment or punishment.

anger has always meant something bad: something was about to be done to me or taken away from me, i was about to be demeaned or belittled or torn apart and it was something i had to avoid. how am I supposed to feel okay in the world if that's still the lens i have? i don't know. I'm trying to change that slowly. I'm trying to show my brain that, no, it is not the end of the world when someone is angry or frustrated or annoyed with me, see they're still here and they still care. it's really hard though. it's like. i can't just convince myself they're not mad or frustrated at me because they are and they're allowed to be. but how do I convince myself that no, this isn't the final straw this time and they're not about to abandon me this time? how do I discern that? i have no idea. i naturally think that rejection on any level means I'm not loved and that whatever i ask for is disgusting to the other person. i think that my own autonomy and desires and needs being vocalized puts me up for warranted scrutiny and abandonment. people have a right to be angry at me for not putting out and i just have to deal with that and it hurts me. i don't know why that's my mindset but it is.

like how will I know I'm safe? i don't know. how will I know that people won't abandon me even if just emotionally? i don't know. how will I know the difference between abandonment and something else? everything feels like it's one step closer to loss. always. i don't know why. it just does. I'm trying to fight that so hard. I'm trying to force myself to stay in the game and keep my eyes open and say "see? look. nothing is happening here. say you're scared, say this is hard. that's true. but also look, nobody is leaving you when you say that. nobody is angry at you. nobody hates you. look at that."

it's really hard to even believe that reality. i can look that in the face and still my intrusive thoughts come along and say "what if..."

it's exhausting.

i don't have a hopeful conclusion for this one, i just know that this really sucks and I'm not the only one who experiences this. it just really sucks that my coping mechanisms for these things are really rooted in amatanormative things as well, I'm noticing. and that really fucking stings to realize, as if that makes me less aro or alterous or queerplatonic. it doesn't. but of course my mind is looking for anything with which to tear me down. and why? i don't know. it's the voice of my parents, my critical voice. i wish that voice belonged to me. i wish it could change and be something else, sooner rather than later. i know I'm working on it and it just takes time. but it sure is painful as hell. and all the gaps in communication i experience when talking to people, my mind just fills them with fear and thoughts: "do they hate me this time? what about this time? now they must hate me. now they're thinking about how disgusting my desires are, how gross my reality is, how repulsive I must be."

it either makes me upset at them for a thought i fabricated, or it makes me just feel like shit as i take those thoughts as truth.

there has got to be another way.

Vent post//Probably not that interesting

Last night my bf was being such a douche. And he's the kind of person who always gets upset at you when you're upset at them and so he did not apologize and I just cried silently all night and didn't like participate in cuddling. But like neither did he, and that made made even more upset because I'm the one who he was being a dick to all day?

He was in a bad mood overall because he has a cold and we there was more traffic than usual for the parade (but not even a ridiculous amount? We could still get where we wanted to go it just wasn't as instant. He was negative and not really participating in conversation while we drove, everytime I said something he made it about how angry he was. When we got home I got a call that my grandmother had a stroke and I was talking about how my sister was at my moms and she was very upset and he really hates my sister for a lot of reasons but it wasn't supposed to be about her, but he kept turning everything I said about her into something terrible, like "oh those tears are fake, if she goes and visits your grandmother she'll make it all about herself" which I genuinely don't think is true. My grandmother is one of the few people my sister actually cares about. Just because she's terrible doesn't mean he knows her as well as me. He just wouldn't listen to anything I was saying and kept taking about how awful my sister was and I just wanted to talk about my grandmother's situation.

And I said something like, "I feel you are too blinded by your hate for my sister to listen to me talk about my grandmother right now." Then he denied that and got all quiet and distant and wouldn't look at or touch me at all. So I followed suit. Then he picked up the laser pointer to make my cat Wanda stop scratching the couch. Which by my house rules they are allowed because I really don't have anything else for them to scratch on right now and the parts that they've been scratching are destroyed anyway. But it annoys him and he sometimes spends like all night with one arm over the couch to stop her because she likes to prickle her claws into the couch and lay down and look up at us. But he sometimes gets genuinely pissed that she won't stop and he was, and that makes me really mad because I really feel like he doesn't even like my cats sometimes. He picked up the laser pointer because all my cats gather when they hear it jingle and they think they're gonna play but he just wanted to distract her. So I said if you're not gonna play with them give me the thing so I can because if you pick it up you have to. And he said no multiple times and then started shining around, at which point Silky jumped up on the arm of the couch and I thought he shined it directly into her eyes intentionally, because it REALLY looked that way and I'm sill not convinced he didn't, so I got mad and tried to take the thing from him bc no one disrespects my babies 😤 I will start a fucking fight with the person who disturbs their peace and happiness. And so he got mad at me for trying to take it and then decided to sort of chuck it at me. Not very hard but the energy was really negative and aggressive, even if the action wasn't that bad. And that's the part that made me cry. I don't really know why.

It's usually not like this. But it just feels even worse because I feel like I didn't deserve any of it? Like yesterday I went to his house and took care of him while he was sick and I was just sick and I had to basically beg him to just get up off the couch and get my cough medicine? When he can simply ask for a bottle of water in perfect health and I run and grab that shit no problem? Even when I'm sick, or I'm the only one who worked that day, I make dinner, do the dishes from dinner, take out all the trash, clean up the house and the messes he makes.

Also doesn't help that he had just slept with me before he decided to be a dick about my grandmother and the cats and the laser pointer shit. Like it just makes me feel like an object. Like yeah your body is nice and all but fuck these feelings man

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. 🥺🥺🥺😭😭 Fives absolutely has my whole heart and thinking about a Modern!AU just gives me all the feels. If you EVER decided to write that or even just expand with some HCs I would read it a million times and it would kill me every single time. I'm in awe of how frequently you come up with these, frankly stellar, ideas. Hope the new job treats you well! ❤❤

!!!!! Thank you! I've actually been fucking around with the idea of doing a modern/college AU for some of the clones! I have so many ideas, like:

Fives and Echo are obviously roommates. Neither of them realizes they have the same dad and the same birthday for the longest time despite the fact they look scarily alike and have the exact same zodiac signs

The companies are now SLG, or selective living groups. Idk if other schools do them, but Duke does (yes I am biased bc I was in one there). They're alternatives to Greek life. You get the community without the Greek life baggage

Anyway Torrent is a SLG that a lot of people want to be in. They're very small, though

Rex is the President for Torrent. Anakin is an RA, but Ashoka is another RA that fills in for him a lot

This is because Anakin is way more interested in boning his hot girlfriend. Who's a young, maybe the youngest in the school's history, Public Policy teacher. A lot of guys take her class sheerly bc of that

She's a hard grader, though

Obi-wan is a law student and the RC of the dorm

No one can tell if Maul is his rival or his ex

Obi-wan loves to annoy one of the tenured professors, Dr. Griveous. It's because Dr. Griveous gave him a C when he was an undergad. He would have had a 4.0 if it weren't for that C

Fives is a rabid sports fan. He and Hardcase go to every game they can. If there's any rituals surrounding sports, they're in on it

The rest of these are generic, but. I have to say this. Fives would be a Cameron Crazy if he went to Duke I just know it in my heart

Tbh I think Hardcase drags Fives to football games so Fives drags him to basketball games

Rex and Cody were roommates their freshmen year and regularly hang out with one another. Fives was CONVINCED they were boning each other, but no. They're just super close with each other

Cody has an athletic scholarship and is one of the star athletes on the rugby team

Dogma isn't allowed to smoke weed at Torrent parties because it makes him hella fucking paranoid

He and Tup are roommates, and they're right across the hall from Fives and Echo

Fives isn't a theater major, but he's been in a lot of the mainstage plays

He drags Echo into being a tech for all the plays

Honestly. Fives is a philosophy major. As a philosophy minor, I know this in my heart that Fives would be right at home

Listen. You can't tell me that Fives wouldn't be at home in a major that challenges you and lets you argue with people

Rex is probably either engineering, pre-med, or econ. He hates his major but feels like he's got to be one of those

Fives is trying to help Echo get an emotional support animal!

Waxer and Boil take care of the campus cats. They've started an FB page for people who want to help as well

Wrecker has an ESA cat, and he walks the cat around campus

Wrecker was an up and coming football star, but he got really badly injured during a game so he can't play anymore

The Bad Batch got their name bc most of them are athletes who were hurt or lost their scholarship

No one knows how Crosshair hasn't lost his scholarship because he's a SORE LOSER. They think it's because he put the school on the map for NCAA rifle shooting

I'm sure there's more I can think of

SPOILERY ETERNALS REVIEW/THOUGHTS UNDER THE CUT PLEASE?? 💖

your wish is my command. i'm so sorry this became 1k.

okay, so. i'll put together a likes/dislikes list and then conclude with my overall opinions. why am i writing this like the last sentence of my intro paragraph for a uni paper asdfgh

what i fucked with:

so much representation!!! a little gay family and an emotional homosexual onscreen kiss with one of the main characters!! hell fckin yeah! a deaf main character?? YES!! the beautiful bollywood scene!!! the main main character being an asian woman when it could have been any of the other white and/or male characters?? YESYESYES!! that made me very happy

the costume design was amazing, as was the set design. i did read that eternals was filmed more onsite than marvel films usually are, which is great. it was a gorgeous movie to watch

also cause everyone in it is so gorgeous?? richard madden? gemma chan? angelina jolie? be still my beating heart

i really loved how all the eternals had different powers, and how they complimented each other. it was really cool to watch the way they fought together

the relationship between thena and gil was everything.

sersi's ringtone is juice by lizzo

i also think the concept of sprite and her age issues was really well done. i found her annoying at the end but that was kind of the point, i can't imagine how frustrated she must have been

karun. just, karun.

the fuckin. oh my god. the ikea table joke. my friend and i DIED. that is a contender for funniest marvel joke of all time

i think the concept of the movie was actually kinda really dope and interesting. like, the idea that celestials are born of intelligent life and that's why the eternals were sent to protect human life and serve this greater purpose? cool. it felt original and interesting, and didn't content too much with existing marvel lore.

what was maybe kind of wack:

we saw the movie at 20:45, and the movie theatre didn't serve popcorn after 20:00 because of some inconsistent dutch covid rules and so we couldn't have popcorn. this has nothing to do with the movie but it made me sad so it's going in here anyway

this didn't bother me as much as it did my bestie -- i obviously facetimed her as soon as i got home -- but she was right in pointing out that there was a bit of a problem with the lack of chronology. sometimes the flashback scenes weren't indicated as such soon enough, but mostly the problem was how this influenced the building of characters and relationships

because all of the backstory (just of the characters and their developing relationships) isn't until later in the movie, it's harder to care about them until then. they want us to mourn a relationship and mourn a character before we even know them

which is part of the reason i didn't find ikarus and sersi that convincing. i did ship them in the beginning, but my bestie didn't at all. they tell us they're in love without first showing us how they fell in love, and when they do show us, it's in a few short basic scenes

(also, this isn't necessarily bad but ? a sex scene? in a marvel movie?? i don't know her)

but yeah, i think that not only their relationship, but the relationships between all of them would have been more convincing with more initial scenes of them just bonding and joking around and being a family. we only got references to that, and then the scenes where they're all yelling at each other

which ties to what i would have loved: a montage scene with fun music that shows what they were all up to through the ages. apart from that one short hiroshima scene, all we got was modern day and BC. i want to see phastos finally invent the steam engine! i want sersi in a flapper dress! i want ikaris to be madden back in the kit from cinderella fit!! it also would have been a great way to let the audience get to know the characters better in order to fall in love with them, and a way for the relationships to develop

even though i shipped them, i wasn't invested enough in ikaris' and sersi's realtionship, which might be the crux of it. i liked dane too much and there wasn't enough set up for them. there's that writing rule about romance, and how a good romance is written in such a way that they don't need to kiss in order for you to realize it's romantic. they barely had that.

who was the villain? while i think it can be nice to have ambiguity, the fact that it kept switching around in this movie was a bit confusing. i sometimes forgot who they were fighting.

the really cheesy music over the dramatic moments was too much sometimes. i couldn't help but laugh when it was taking itself way too seriously

which leads me to my last point. they thought they were being so dramatic. they thought they were being so clever. they had ikaris fucking YEET himself into the sun after he messed up once (1), and i was laughing. it was fucking hilarious, and i know that that's not what they were going for. it your defining dramatic moment comes across as ridiculous, you fucked up

what is harry styles doing in the mcu. baby no, run while you can. i think he'll do a great job and i love him but i'll need some time because right now i don't wike it.

conclusion: 6.5/10

i was very much entertained and i had a good time and i fell in love with some characters, but i would have been more in love with them with just a few additional scenes. it was a beautiful movie to watch and had some absolutely hilarious anecdotes that made me laugh out loud. i wish i would have had popcorn. ikarus yeeting himself into the sun is ridiculous. the half point is for the ikea joke.

📓📒📔 heehee

omg ok i'll tell you about my potc fic that's currently in progress! i'm super excited about it because normally i really want to write for my favorite fandoms but get stuck only doing character studies because my plot ideas are TRASH, but i randomly rewatched the potc movies the other day and got, like, struck by the inspiration muse or something. :D

so the basic like, starting premise of the fic is 'beckett turns pirate au' (lmfao i feel like i'm always writing [character] switches sides aus but theyre just so good!)... i decided to make him not die in that explosion when his ship goes down but randomly be picked up by the black pearl instead & informed that now that everyone on HIS side thinks he's dead, he has no choice but to join their crew lmao. idk like i just want to force him to become a pirate bc i think that would not only be incredibly funny but also kinda cool, like i want to see the whole like ruthless and calculating thing used in the opposite direction!

anyway. meanwhile, all the different pirate lords are trying to decide whether or not they want to go searching for the fountain of youth now that davy jones is out of the way, and another brethren court meeting is called. jack and barbossa get into a big argument at the meeting over a bunch of things (who's the rightful captain/owner of the pearl, who actually has the greater right to discover the fountain, etc etc) bc y'all know that whole situation where they're BOTH trying to be captain of the pearl could not last long lol. they kinda split the rest of the court in half with their arguments and start a pirate civil war i guess? now both sides are suddenly in a race to find the fountain FIRST because whoever does will gain control over the sea. there's this like underlying feeling that they all have that the age of piracy is sort of slowly dying (especially in the aftermath of the battle at world's end) & that they need the fountain to preserve it, so that's very key.

anyway, barbossa takes most of the pearl's crew and dips, so jack, elizabeth, and randomly beckett LMAO are left to try and go their own way. they realize that barbossa has a huge head start on them & ALSO took the map showing where the fountain is, so they're kinda fucked. jack decides to do some sketchy magic and re-raise calypso from her slumber to convince her to help them, which only like halfway works: for the time being, they catch a favorable wind and are convinced she's on their side. meanwhile, calypso is NOT on their side at all... and in fact is so pissed that they woke her up and meddled with her magic for no reason that she goes and finds will on the flying dutchman, and teams up with him to track jack down just to cause problems for him (which also causes problems for everyone else on the sea).

jack calls another brethren court meeting in a panic after the pearl is almost destroyed by like a crazy hurricane or something, but everyone's so pissed at him and also each other that it does NOT go well. barbossa doesn't even show up, which technically is a big no-no according to the pirate code, but no one has time to track him down, so jack makes beckett stand in for him. somehow beckett manages to manipulate everyone into agreeing to chase barbossa down and try to beat him to the fountain of youth, because at this point it seems like it's a bad idea for ANYONE to use its powers bc calypso will just like smite them down immediately. so they all agree, but they all still have their own agendas bc obviously they all DO still want immortality juice lmao. everyone's extra annoyed at jack now though because now beckett is technically a pirate lord which literally no one wanted lmao.

anyways the race to get to the fountain of youth is officially on, but no one realizes that will (and calypso) are also in the race lmao. so after a million years the pearl FINALLY reaches the fountain, getting there just at the same time as barbossa (he got really held up bc of all the terrible weather)... AND will and calypso, who everyone (except elizabeth, who may or may not have been secretly communicating with will the entire time) is shocked af to see. they do a really awkward parlay between barbossa/will/calypso and jack/elizabeth/beckett that gets absolutely nowhere because jack and barbossa are still pissed at each other and will and elizabeth are barely even invested in the whole fountain thing and would rather romance each other LMAOO. they all (including all the other pirate lords, who want the fountain's powers for themselves) start swordfighting on the like tiny desert island where the fountain supposedly is, and calypso goes up into the sky and creates a huge lightning storm for Dramatic Purposes.

anyway the ending is still very much in progress but i think essentially they all eventually realize the fountain of youth was fake all along LOL and that there really is no way for one pirate/one ship to be 'master of the entire sea' BUT... if they actually revamp the brethren court into something that vaguely functions (which i feel like beckett could do as he's lowkey the only one who like, understands how money works among other things LMFAO), and agree to team up and work together for the most part, then they can preserve piracy in the caribbean.

anyway this got LONG sorry lol! but yeah. oh yeah also i forgot to mention that i'm also inserting my random pirate oc into this story... her name is anne bonny (stolen shamelessly from history) and she's randomly jack's cousin but i'm not totally sure what to do with her. i may ship her with someone for the fun of it HAHA. also im thinking that norrington since he's dead might be one of will's crew members, just so he can do something in the story? i feel like that would be funny.

i would like to hear your beef with liability. this wave of sadgirl music is also troubling to me

okay bc u asked if i get cancelled im shifting the blame to you anon <3 lol firstly disclaimer i am extremely tired at the moment so if this is barely coherent thats why

do you know that david foster wallace quote "theres a lot of narcissism in self hatred" ? i think thats a very good way to describe this song. but of course thats not bad in and of itself. especially bc i have a STRONG feeling that when lorde wrote this song she was purposely being melodramatic (wink wink) and i think if u look at it is a highly camp song in the same vein as like, primadonna by marina or no children by the mountain goats then thats cool. like its a song you sob to in your room feeling self pity when you're 13. but i also have a suspicious feeling that a lot of people listen to this song in an extremely uncritical manner & take the sentiment of it very seriously. so i guess then my issue would be less so with lorde herself and more her fans.

however, i also have heard that lorde wrote it because she felt like she was being isolated from all of her friends because of the fame she was receiving which im like. very conflicted about because on the one hand i do think it must be hard to be on the receiving end of such attention at such a young age, however i also feel like it just comes across as a little bit Out of Touch.

but im going to go into the lyrics specifically i guess bc i cant just say all this without saying why i think it or whatever first of all first verse

Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi

He don't wanna know me

Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm

Says it was poison

so immediately very grandiose and conceited and i guess my big critique w the lyricism itself in the enitre song is that it sounds like a rupi kaur poem straight up. but yknow i think lorde herself admitted that they're meant to be purposefully corny a bit. 2nd verse whatever who cares honestly kind of weird THE CHORUS really is the huge issue for me i mean

They say, "You're a little much for me

You're a liability

You're a little much for me"

So they pull back, make other plans

I understand, I'm a liability

Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone

The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy

'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore

And then they are bored of me

idk this is just such an annoying way to see yourself and your friends and the world. i have no critique beyond if a friend said this to me i wouldnt want to be their friend either but not because theyre a fucking liability but because theyre annoying and clearly self centered. like this song is very much "i am the center of the universe" like omg "i am a toy that people enjoy til all of the tricks dont work anymore"

i guess thats a not so short summary of my major qualms w it and my main issue is moreso the interpretation of the song than the actual lyrical content though i do think it is very much like 5 rupi kaur poems put into one song w a catchy jackanantoff production which is an issue i have w a lot of her music. like a lot of it feels like just because she says the lines in a very convincing matter of fact way with a sort of snappy "punchline" people think its deep and all that but really its just like. corny straight up. and idk i dont think lorde makes it clear enough that shes in on the joke like marina did with electra heart where she was telling these complex narrative tales about specific archetypes. god sorry this is so long and idk if it makes sense but xoxo.

#i think theres a lot to expand on but im too tired to do so here #tldr: its corny and demonstrates a very flawed world view

🔬for dirty, dirty game / 📈& 🎢for bringing down the neighbourhood / 📣for waiting for someone who needs me

🔬- Was there one scene you were building up to/knew you had to get just right?

Ah, so def one of the scenes in dirty dirty game I was building to was the one where Beth stumbles upon rio's at Jamie's, and thinks he's there for her. Partly cos the original idea for the story was post s2, and that's how Beth found out rio's alive so originally that was like HUGE! 😂

But also in the reconfigured version I wanted that to be plausibly surprising, but also bc it's probably not that surprising, for it to be funny and tense and terrible (but like good terrible). Especially because in the reconfigured version, that comes quite early on which I think is fun, because you might be expecting that reveal to be teased out for a lot of the story?

And also bc Beth's obsessed with knowing if rio knew it was her for the rest of the story, and I think there's a very very very light glaze of an answer to that question hovering within the story, and this scene is definitely part of that.

📈- Was there a clear character arch you wanted____ character to go on?

But who character in bdtn?? Danny? Marcus? Me?!

I think Beth's character arc is reasonablyish clear in the story, so I'll go rio.

It's like... Super angry yet convincing himself there's a reason to keep Beth alive (which I thought was pretty thin, so thanks for the justification I guess s3 lol), then just absolutely and repeatedly baffled by her being a total mess (and like this is who bested me? I mean really? This is embarrassing, I am embarrassed) and getting hints that she wants to make nice maybe, and then slightly letting his guard down and then feeling absolutely insane for doing so and being like NOPE NOT AGAIN REMEMBER THE EMBARRASSMENT, and then discovering how obsessed she is with him too, and then feeling very vindicated by that but still being VERY CRANKY and thus being like HA YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME HA, and then being like OH SHIT AM I HAVING AN EMOTION OH NO THIS IS AWFUL, and then being like HA IS SHE HAVING AN EMOTION WHAT AN IDIOT, and then being like WELL AS LONG AS SHE DOESN'T THINK I LIKE HER HA I'M GREAT AT THIS and then being like oh oh dear I think she is kinda fucked up over it oh dear would I let her make nice whoops what's happening ah oh well fuck it, maybe her jokes aren't THAT bad

 🎢- Were there any scenes you were nervous about? For audience reception or otherwise?

So one in bdtn was def the ending, but another one would be the one where they finally bone - firstly cos like it's fairly clear that's where the story is going so I still wanted it to be tense and unexpected, but also cos it features vaguely inappropriately lubricated unprotected sex cos they're stupid

📣-What was the best piece of encouragement you got?

Oh gosh, people were so nice about waiting for someone who needs me, it was ridonculous!

I think particularly bc I was having kind of a hard time with the editing process and after having an annoying fuck of a day just went YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK IT POST IT!!!!! FUCK ITTTTTT!!!! and @mego42 was like AHA YOU HAVE POSTED THIS AT THE PERFECT TIME!!! I WAS HAVING A FUCK OF A DAY AND NOW I AM CHEERED!! AND I WAS LIKE OH GOD!!!!! DAYS ARE STUPID AND I AM FUNDAMENTALLY AGAINST THEM!!! so I was like v happy that I let go of being obsessive about it and just threw it into the world rather than carried on looking at it (and then subsequently did change a couple of sentences that annoyed me anyway so win win 😂)

#It is nice to cheer ppl up by cheering yourself up!! #Like I actually love how long it turned out! #But I was expecting under 5k #And didn't have the mental bandwidth to edit like a full on loon!! #It was sposed to be short and sweet!! #A break before time 3!!! #Everything seems to be getting longer #Maybe I should publish that 7 word story???? #The Turner pov thing is gonna be like 1200 words I swear #I mean.... This could sub in for rio's character arc in many of my canon fics tbh #Writing #On writing #Fanfiction #Fanfic #These are really fun!!
