Genshin Impact Chapter 1 Act 3: A Reaction.
Chapter 1 Act 3 is what took my experience with this game from “good game” to “masterpiece”.
THIS POST CONTAINS MANY, MANY SPOILERS FOR GENSHIN IMPACT CHAPTER 1: ACT 3
Tumblr media
Genshin Impact has some problems— actually, it has a shit ton of problems. But during the fight against hordes of Fatui, with the Adepti channeling their abilities through my gang, flying through them as Oz, decimating them with Diluc— I just thought, this is the best time I’ve had in a mobile game in my life.
This game might not be perfect now— it’s only a quarter of the way done if we’re counting Karenri’ah. But it will be a fucking masterpiece once it’s all out. If this is the level of quality we’re getting for our archon quests, this game is going to be an amazing time on story alone.
KEQING
I love Keqing with all my heart. If she were alive today she would be a socialist here to topple the ruling 1%. When ningguang asked Aether who they trusted more, her or Keqing, I hit the Keqing button as fast as possible.
I think one of my favorite things about Keqing is that she’s so completely honest, which is unusual for a Liyue politician. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll speak out against it. If she thinks something else should be happening, she’ll make it happen. She can probably be deceitful at times, but in general she’s straightforwards in that she wants a government for the people and by the people.
I can’t wait for her story quest!
NINGGUANG
pretty.... voice pretty....
Ningguang is cool. Her JP voice is very pretty, like she could do ASMR videos online or smth. One thing I decidedly did not like about Ningguang is how her personality just ???? flips? In the middle of the quest, for no reason other than “because plot”.
It’s established that Ningguang cares about two things more than anything— the Jade palace and Mora. Why, then, would she destroy the Jade palace for the sake of Liyue? I get that she’s a good person at heart at all, but I want to see more of her indecision, her brain saying “mora” and her heart saying “Liyue”. The way she just flips on a dime isn’t really strange but it does contradict with her preexisting characterization.
Childe’s Boss Fight!
The section of this quest from Childe’s fight to the Adepti + Qixing battle is just nonstop adrenaline.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Childe is IMO a lot more fun than Dvalin (sorry Dvalin). I’m at WL5 and have a tendency to play fast and loose with important mechanics like.... dodging, for example.... and Childe’s Mask Electro form ended up destroying my team. I killed him with Guoba because everyone else besides Xiangling was dead. I
Another thing I really enjoy about Childe’s boss fight is that in the irrationalities of Childe as a character, it actually makes sense. Genshin is decent at making weekly bosses logical excursions— Andrius wants you to get stronger, Dvalin’s weekly fight is ~~all a dream~~; but tbh sometimes the weekly bosses don’t make sense. Andrius wants to train us, not murder us! How does dvalin, a dream slash memory that doesn’t exist, manage to knock someone out?
Childe as a weekly boss actually makes perfect sense. He’s an adrenaline junkie addicted to the thrill of fighting people— to put this in modern AU terms, he’s the guy who’s first in line to ride the rollercoaster that failed all of its health and safety checks. Childe wants to befriend the Traveler entirely because they’re stronger than him, so that he can fight them over and over again until he’s the strongest. Of course, this will never happen, because the Traveler is the MC and therefore is stronger than all others. However, in this way Childe being a repeatable boss makes 100% perfect sense— he actually wants to fight the Traveler again and again and again.
The one question I have about Childe is how in the living feck are the Fatui letting him join the Traveler and fight for them *against the Fatui*??? I think this might be touched on in Childe’s Story quest, which I’ll do in a bit, but like????? They let him keep his delusion and just walk over to Aether like “aight fam I’m on your team now”? How?
Jade Chamber/ Guizhong Ballista vs Sea Monster Fight!!
Basically, all my charged adrenaline from nearly dying to Childe just came to a head in this one huge fantastic fight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Xiao :)
I absolutely loved seeing the Adepti and the Qixing work together. This fight was probably my favorite fight in the whole game— the music was amazing (soundtrack where), the graphics were so nice, the adepti were so feckin cool, using everyone’s abilities was n I ce. My adrenaline was reaching its highest point at this fight and it was just perfect. It was just so fecking fun after days of WL5 pain, having to pop like five ultimates to kill one hillichurl, to be able to just demolish swathes of enemies with Fischl and Diluc, run around like a madman thanks to Xiao, have infinite health idr who did that for me but bless them, just absolutely destroy.
Ever since I hit WL5 I haven’t been able to really just go insane during a fight and stop caring about HP/ when to use skills/ dodging and this have me that opportunity.
Zhongli’s Deal
*punches Zhongli across the room with the power of being the player character* I love this man so much.
Zhongli Zhongli Zhongli Zhongli Zhongli. I AM VERY ANGRY AT HOW THE PLOT RESOLVED HIS STORYLINE. But it also makes a lot of sense. And I think, for once, Zhongli should be allowed to be selfish.
Because choosing to leave Liyue was a bit selfish. He’s leaving the country that adores him, loves him, gives him shit for free; to its own devices and then to a completely unknown fate once the new Geo Archon becomes god and takes over. But he made a frankly fantastic plan and can now leave the country, for now, in peace.
I was absolutely delighted to see Zhongli in Morax form. Making deals with La Signora, being a complete and utter puppet master who set this entire situation up and played Childe like a kazoo; but just like his dear friend Venti, I think Zhongli is happier when he’s just Zhongli, the eccentric mortal. He seems so much happier and so much more relaxed when he’s forgetting about mora and eating dinner with Aether and Paimon. Rex Lapis might have just put Liyue through the wringer, but he can now put down his 3000- year long reign and just be the happy, eccentric Zhongli.
Zhongli’s little bit of insecurity over being a “bourgeois parasite” makes perfect sense now— he doesn’t want to be seen as Morax, a superfluous god who’s using his name to get whatever he wants from the humans he watches over.
But also the part of my brain that feeds off lore nEEDS to KNOW what Zhongli got from Tsaritsa. What could be worth a gnosis? His own happiness isn’t enough— Tsaritsa is likely going to use his gnosis to try and destroy Liyue. What could be worth that?
My main thought would be either “someone’s protection” or “another gnosis”, but I don’t think the latter is possible. The former could be possible but doesn’t really make sense either— a) whose protection is worth putting an entire country, much less the world, in danger and b) the Fatui are out to kill everyone who isn’t Fatui, so they won’t agree to spare a major player in the war to come like that. Brain go brrr.
I’m very hyped for Zhongli’s story quest, which I think is coming with his banner on Dec 1, when Childe’s banner ends. I really hope that Zhongli visits Mondstadt and chills with Venti for a while, but anything with this guy would be fine lol.
LORE
We got a lot of lore this update and I am delighted by it.
Firstly, we get a tiny hint of how Visions are bestowed— “if a person shows true strength of will at a desperate and fateful moment in their life, the gods will look upon them with favor.” Vague but more than we had before.
Next we got some neat lore about Inazuma— firstly, that it’s led by a god named Baal and secondly that it steals everyone’s visions. I’m very hyped to visit because guess what fam aether doesn’t have a vision.
Final Thoughts
In case you can’t tell from my insane ramblings, I loved Chapter 1 Act 3 and I absolutely cannot wait to play through Childe’s story quest and Chapter 2 and beyond.
The Prologue in Mondstadt set the stage for Genshin. We started out in a fantasy environment with a fantasy tale of an immortal bard and a dragon. Mondstadt was an excellent introduction to the world of Genshin.
And now? We’re starting to build on that. Chapter 1 brings us another story of another god and their relationship with the country they watch over. Liyue is much less of a traditional fantasy setting and takes the darkness we saw in Mondstadt— a friendship ruined by manipulation and suffering— and build on it. Now we don’t just see the Fatui more often but we also see more of the Treasure Hoarders and the way both groups kidnap and experiment on humans.
Mond started to introduce us to the Fatui, but Liyue is where they really start bringing continuous plot relevance. Inversely, we saw much more of the Abyss Order in Mondstadt than we did in Liyue. I’m extremely disappointed we didn’t see any more of the Princess this chapter, but it makes sense given that Chapter 1 was really more about the Fatui than the Abyss Order.
All I’m trying to say is the Liyue arc was an excellent continuation to the stage Mondstadt’s arc set. Now, we’re on to the world of the Eternal Shogun, Baal! I’m really excited to meet new characters and experience new stories of Inazuma, but I hope we’ll continue to see Mondstadt and Liyue in the future. Mondstadt is likely going to be the most “boring” of the countries we experience, cuz it’s just so classically fantasy- themed, but it will always be the first country we explored in this world.
After Inazuma (if I had to take a shot in the dark, inazuma’s arc will take from December 23 to maybe March or April) we’ll go to Sumeru, which I am really extremely hyped for because it sounds extremely different from Mond and Liyue and we’ll meet Cyno and possibly even Collei! (just me extrapolating lol). I can’t wait to see where Genshin Impact goes story- wise, because its first major update has brought so much to the table.

Dantes or Robin (saw you grailed him to 100!) Or hell both if you want, knock yourself out x)
Ima do both!
First impressions:
Dantes: oh shit I'm in prison oh who's this oh dang they're really cool I wanna know more
Robin: oh hell yeah archer card I've been needing a solid archer for my team OH heck yeah robin I didn't know you were a servant!! (Legit though Ive read alot of robin hood tales, I had rolled Billy a few days before but didn't know how to use him so I went with robin as my main for ages, and still to this day really)
Impression now:
Dantes: sir are you aware that you are precious? Seriously though ever since his event where I first met him I just keep finding more reasons to trust this man, I know if I'm ever in a tight spot I can count on him
Robin: best birb best forest birb, so dependable even though hed rather be goofing off, can always count on him to watch the party, hes on of my go to servants I'd summon if we were in dire straits cause hes low mana cost and help a ton in any situations with recon and traps
Favorite moment:
Dantes: hard to pick but honestly the moment in his event where he promises that if you ever want to give up to just let him know and he'll kill you before the 7 days are up, something about how being in that terrible situation and while he is pushing you forward and fighting with you, he also gives you an out if you can't do it, if you cant go on, so you dont have to suffer, that was the moment that I knew I wanted to summon him and its stuck with me
Robin: I dont remember what fecking event it was, but there was an event where he was talking about the weirdness he observed and passion lip accused him of being a pervert, and hes like, no! Stalker at worst! I'm just keeping an eye on everyone, keeping watch over the campfire(not exact wording but something like that) and that made me realize that hes always keeping an eye out,and that I can trust him if he says something's up
Idea for a story:
Dantes: I may be a bit to much a fan of whump but sue me, I want a situation to come about where the master gets like, life threateningly injured, and dantes uses his attendre espere noble phantasm, I think itd be pretty cool story wise to see him use that sort of noble phantasm
Robin: I think itd be cool to have robin teach the master how to make and use traps and poisons, since they're just a human robin would want to make sure they can protect themselves with those if they ever needed to
Unpopular opinion
Dantes: hmm, I dont know what's unpopular really, I guess the one I can think of is hes not a tsun, hes dramatic as all hell but not a tsun, hes not afraid to express that he cares about you, hes just a dramatic edgy lad so like in shimosa hes all, its totally not me that came here to give you info cause I was worried yup not me ima cape flip away nowww, like he knew you got this, but he still couldn't help himself so hes trying not to interfere too much while still helping out
Robin: Robin's the farthest thing from lazy, he just says he is so people don't get high expectations since to him compared to alot of the other heroic spirits hes just a dude with some poison and traps, but really even though he likes to goof off and enjoy himself when things need to get done he always works hard and is very good at managing group dynamics and monitoring the health of others
Favorite relationships(not including guada and them):
Dantes: I like the thought of him hanging out with the authors and musicians, cause one of his lines has him getting anderson a coffee, and hes show to interact with the French squad at times
Also his attitude towards sherlock is hilarious XD
Robin: I really liked his dynamic with nezha in Salem, old time servant showing the newcomer the ropes, wonderful stuff
Favorite headcanon:
Dantes: he knows how to dance really well, he wasnt a count for nothing after all, and I remember seeing a comic of jalter demanding him to teach her how to dance and I thought that was great
Robin: lad always has sweets on him, for the kid servants, or as just a job well done treat

Deaglan, 1982
Given Dad's close friendship with Brophy it's always surprised people that I didn't meet his son Sullivan until I was about eight. I saw his photos on Brophy's desk when Dad took me to work. I even visited Brophy's house and peered into Sullivan's empty bedroom to admire his sad and abandoned toys. Brophy talked about his son all the time because he missed him. Sullivan was never around because he went to a big old boarding school somewhere. And Brophy fecking hated it.
"What was the point in having a boy," he'd often say to my Dad, "when we never get to see him? It's all Tressa's Dad, Matthew. He's scared we're at risk from the Provs up there in the farmhouse. He insists my lad is safer at a fecking boarding school. I hate having no say in what goes on in my own son's life. God it kills me but I go along with it to keep the peace, you know how it is..."
He'd go quiet then and stare out of the window. I knew Brophy was sad about the mysterious Sullivan. Maybe it was the reason he was so tolerant of me when Dad had to take me to work. He treated me like a second son. It was for this reason that I didn't think I wanted to meet Sullivan anyway. I thought I'd be afflicted by the jealousy. So I never pestered for a play date. Ever.
When I finally did make his acquaintance there was no jealousy involved at all. Iy was an immediate joining of souls, in fact. We were always destined to be friends, just like our fathers. I can remember the moment as if it were yesterday.
The day came during the summer holidays, which seem endless when you're a kid, and even more endless when your Daddy won't let you play in the street because of the IRA men so you're stuck in the house with a Mammy who can't stand the sight of you.
It was Daddy's day off. I think that might have influenced Mammy's decision to throw an almighty wobbler so that he would get me out of her way. She demanded that he extract me from the house again for some minor transgression. I can't remember what it was. Dog shit on my shoes or something stupid, I don't know. Her eyes clouded and the wildcat in her came out. Daddy knew what to do. He swept me up into his arms and took me away before she could belt seven shades of fear out of me again.
"Wanna come with me to help Mr. Brophy fix a fence?" he asked as he hurried me down the garden path.
"Aye, I'll help Brophy anytime, Dad," I told him.
I loved Brophy and Daddy knew it. He grinned at me and unlocked the car. We can have a nice day together, the grin said. You, me and Brophy. I couldn't wait.
It was a boiling hot day and the inside of the car was like a sauna.
"Can I sit in the front, Dad?"
"No."
"But..."
"Not til you're twelve."
Dad had tons of rules that came from nowhere. No chocolate or sweets before ten am. No chewing gum. No playing football in your school shoes. No sitting in the front of the car til you're twelve, as if twelve was some big age when you became a man or something.
I knew better than to wind my Dad up so I sat in the back like a good lad. He drove us out of Armagh and up to the village where Brophy lived in a big old farmhouse. There were no farm animals anymore. Brophy was too busy for that, being a big important Chief Inspector and all. There might have been a few ducks running around but I can't remember to be honest with you.
Anyway Brophy himself was out front, looking very relaxed in a pair of shorts and a vest that showed off his milk-white arms. I'd never seen him in anything but a suit. I was immediately enraptured. I tucked my sleeves into my own t-shirt to copy him.
"Morning Don," Daddy said as we ambled up his garden path, "I've brought the lad. I hope you don't mind."
"Mind?" Brophy boomed, "of course I don't mind, Matthew. We need a littlr top cop about the place. Eh?"
He ruffled my hair fondly. I was old enough by then to know that the little jobs he gave me at the police station when I was just a nipper were all bollocks to keep me quiet but it made me love him all the more.
"I've come to help you with your fence," I said, puffing out my chest as if I was quite the little handyman.
"Right," Brophy nodded, "well that's good. Our lad is home from school y'know."
"Your Sully?"
"Aye," Brophy nodded, "he's out in the backyard. Go through, say hello."
I was excited and terrified at the same time. Excited to meet the boy I'd heard so much about but also very nervous that he wouldn't like me.
"Don't be shy, Deaglan," Brophy said, "he doesn't bite."
I looked at Dad who widened his eyes at me. Go on, they said, so I went. Through Brophy's ramshackle farmhouse where it was ok to be untidy because if Brophy was anything he was a messy, disorganised bastard like most eccentric geniuses. There were always lots of cool things to look at in Brophy's house. The suit of armour at the bottom of the stairs for example. The piles of dusty old books that had become shelves for even more dusty old books. The electric train set that ran around the picture rail in the lounge. The place was like an Aladdin's cave. I called hello to his wife Tressa and made my way out into the huge back garden, looking for Sullivan.
I spotted him immediately. He was a boy not much older than me dressed in a pair of blue swimming trunks. He was holding a strawberry ice lolly that was melting in the heat. He'd torn apart the lining of a punctured paddling pool and arranged it in a long strip so he could pour dish soap on it, hose it down and make a slide. He came running up to me, his shock of blonde hair so white he was a carbon copy of his nutty professor of a father.
"You all right?" he shouted to me as if he'd known me forever, "get your trousers off and get your arse on this thing. It's great!"
I looked at Dad for permission as he and Brophy joined us.
"Well go on then!" Dad laughed.
It felt strange because Daddy never let me have friends. He didn't trust other children not to belong to IRA families. Sullivan, obviously, was different. He was an RUC boy too.
"Come on!" Sullivan reached to take me by the hand and I saw how his ice lolly had stained his lips purple. He was also missing some teeth, "Dod!"
"Dod?!" it was the first word I ever said to him at the start of a friendship that would last our entire lives.
"Your name isn't it? Deaglan O'Driscoll," Sullivan, it appeared, knew as much about me as I knew about him, "your initials are D O D. I can't be arsed with that shite. So I'll call you Dod for short."
And that is how I met my best friend and earned my nickname. Just like that.
Sullivan was an eccentric like his Dad. His personality was framed by a thousand stage lights. He was so alive, so ethereal. He was always going to be the boss and I was always going to be his sidekick. Again, just like our fathers. In years to come that aspect of our friendship would change but I won't bother you with that now. There is too much more to tell you about what happened in between.

There is only one Spiderman (Peter Parker x Reader)
Summary: Reader is just a normal kid. Like you and me. Friends with the one and only Pooter Porker Peter Parker and just really feisty and find it difficult to bolt away from danger. Which almost gives our little lovestruck Spider a heart attack more often than not.
(This has been in my drafts since last year so its outdated, also english is not my native language)
Reader: Of any color
Warnings: Just me kissing ass because I love you, some fluff, some angst but not too much because I dont play like that, also there are some vine references, and the words “b*tch”
Tumblr media
(I listened to Tchaikovsky while writing this and honestly each piece syncs so well with this gif, bless the creator)
Sure, he may be a web slinging superhero on the side, but Peter Parker was still a little nerd and had crushes on cute people like everybody else.
Specially someone as cute as you. No one could resist you. Not even our cliche school bitch bully, Flash Thompson. You were a bit of an introvert and would rather spend your time reading fanfics on Tumblr and having some fun times with a few friends but you did have some sudden bursts of confidence here and there. 
It all started when you were new to the Midtown High School. Being a new student already gets you ton of attention. Pair that with your incredible personality and you might have just swallowed a magnet because of how much people are attracted to you. Whether you like it or not. You were practically the Ruby Rose of Midtown High. Everyone liked you instantly. Boys, girls, plants, even a god damn piece of paper would NOT politely detach itself from your shoe during Science class and you’re pretty sure you heard a girl in the room say “Me asf” while you tried to yank it off as the class just basked in your pure presence. You had people feeling ~some type of way~ okay?
So it comes as no surprise that Flash Thompson was equally attracted to you and wanted to date you even if it’s just for the rights to brag because *rolls eye* Flash. You on the other hand, had heard enough about his shenanigans through some of your friends and thought it was best to avoid him.
But isn’t fate a comical thing? You’re on your way to your next class and there he is, shoving our precious cinnamon roll, Peter into a locker while Ned watches anxiously. Sad to see his friend stuffed into a locker while also not wanting to go through the same thing. Peter just sighs and does nothing while Flash and his minions are tucking his legs into the tiny space of the locker which probably doesn’t even belong to Peter, judging from another kid standing next to the group of jocks, obviously not there to witness a "cool" fight but also not friends with Peter enough to care about his state right now. "Guys can't you stuff him in somebody else's locker?" the guy huffs, but generally does nothing to stop them. You guess it's because he doesn't want to get hip checked into the small space with Peter as if they're playing "seven minutes in heaven" (but it lasts as long as it takes for someone to finally rescue their asses). So, you decide to step in. "Flash!" you holler. That definitely gets his attention and he turns around quickly, running his palms through his hair to "style" it and leans against the now closed locker door, grinning. As if there isn’t a very antsy Peter Parker just inside, praying to whoever was listening, that he make it to AP Physics in time.
“Y/N!” he grins, opening his arms for a hug. “Cut the shit, Thompson of a bitch. Let that kid out,” you test. There’s a mix of “ooh”s and “aah”s from the students in the hallway as Flash’s smile falters for a brief second, obviously not used to being talked to like that, but he just crosses his arms over his chest, raising an eyebrow.
“Why don’t you run back to snow white, dwarf-o,” one of his friend teases but before you can get the “I am the perfect height to punch you in the nuts, and I will,” Flash collects his ‘bros’ with a “woah-woah, guys” and bangs on the locker twice and leaves with his group. But not before giving you a wink (which you scoff at).
The hustle and bustle of the hallway continues as the onlookers suddenly get hit with the reminder that they need to be in class. You do too. So, you rush to the locker and throw it open, to let a very confused Peter Parker out. You see that the inside of the locker is... well, hygienically challenged but that’s a teenage boy’s with god knows how many dirty socks and raunchy magazines buried inside so you avert your focus to his scrunched eyebrows and his mouth hanging open instead.
Don’t get him wrong, he’s very grateful but also slightly mad at you for being cute and nice! How dare you be so attractive!? God damn it, Y/N! Now his attraction has increased tenfold! He mutters a faint “Thanks”, flustered beyond his wits and you give him a kind smile that has his heart beating all the way up to his head. He’s damn near frozen.
Tumblr media
.And now that’s the origin story of you two. Of course, Peter couldn’t keep his eyes and distance away from you and would “observe” you whenever you were in the room. 
Which was almost always. 
Because he followed you there. 
Which Ned states as “stalking” but Peter describes it as “checking her out up on her”.  [Yeah, ok, Pete!1!1!] 
Much to Peter’s delight, you guys practically lived in the same building so Peter had twelve hundred (and more) excuses to walk you home. Ofcourse, Spider duties remained but that was more of an after-school activity. And it’s not like the neighborhood was jam packed with crime 24x7. Sometimes his “job” required simply patrolling and the most action he saw was a woman dump a milkshake on her (no longer) boyfriend’s head.
One slightly unfortunate day, as you and Peter were trudging up the streets, complaining about school, a VERY clear, sharp scream of a woman echoed nearby! Now THAT’S a job for Spiderman! But, like, you were RIGHT there! So it’s not like he could rain drop, drop top, roll and whip out his spider suit in the middle of the street, kiss you on the cheek and zoom zoom away,
You both exchanged a brief, wide eyed gaze of absolute shock as you both ran in separate direction, wasting no time. By the time Spiderman had arrived to the scene, there was no woman but there was a homeless guy holding a knife towards none other than our lovely protagonist! (das you, bruh) 
“Go for it, shit! I’m a bad bitch, you can’t kill me!” You shout, as Spiderman skrrt skrrts his web and webs the bad guy to the wall before he can touch your spaghett, landing on his feet infront of you with HALF a mind to grab you by the shoulders and shake you like a drink being made by a barista, the other half of him wanted to reach out and absolutely fecken high five you! “Er, good job. Go home, it isn’t safe here” is all he can choke out in his fake “I came from the mid-west, howdy, I’m the man!” accent before catapulting himself off the alleyway [its always alleyways, God, they’re the hub for all bad shit! So predictable too! Take your mugging somewhere unexpected, man! Throw the heroes off guard! Do you even business, bro?]
Back in your apartment building, as you turn the corner practically skipping, a pair of surprisingly strong hands suddenly grab you and pull you so hard, that all your hair holds a Met Gala at the front of your face, curtaining your view from the one and only Peter Dorker, “Are you crazy! Why’d you do that!?” he yells at you
Tumblr media
Completely not giving a feck about not giving out spoilers (*cough* tom *cough*) Why’d you do WHAT!? He wasn’t even there! What’s he talking about!
But right now all you’re focused on is the fact that this random ass bish is grabbing your shoulders like some fecken tentacle and- “You ran away! Someone had to do something!”
He barks, “WOMAN I WAS TRYIN  That’s Spiderman’s job! When you hear trouble, you turn and you run the other way! There’s people who will handle this kind of-”
But before he can get another lecture in, “I helped a lady today! There’s only ONE spiderman, Peter! And he can’t be there for us all the time! It’s NOT his duty- He is NOT obligated to cleanse the streets of Queens! Our work is NOT to turn the other way and hope somebody else does the dirty work! He’s here to HELP and we need to PARTICIPATE! We need to do OUR part WHEN we CAN!” you shout, face all red and sweaty, huffing out, trying not to crack into a smile, proud at yourSELF because damn, that speech was GOOD. You huff, contemplating if you should let him EAT it or just go to your room and head bang over the fact that you got noticed by Spiderman! 
Taking one last look at a very open mouthed Peter, you walk around him and into your apartment as he just stands there, frozen like a chicken pizza at Walgreens. 
He lets out a long, loud breath! How could you be so STUBBORN! This was for YOUR safety! Unless you’re on top of Nick Fury’s “to recruit into Avengers” list, you don’t just go bursting into alleyways in the name of saving people! That’s DANGEROUS! He can’t lose you to some heroic-shit-gone-wrong!
But Peter also felt RELIEVED! For the first time in YEARS, he felt content! You were right! There is only one Spiderman! And no he can’t be there to fight crime every second of the day! And while that ate Peter alive every waking moment of his life, he was also glad that there were good natured people like you in this world! Ones who stood up for somebody and didn’t wait for somebody else! He felt a lot better, realizing that he didn’t have to do this alone! He didn’t have to do it all! He wasn’t expected to do it all!
Peter walked to his apartment, head lowered, hiding his grin. God, he loved you!

Cruise day 1,2,&start of 3
Oh man does traveling take it out of you. Summer and I got checked in and popped over to our room to get the door keys before the muster drill. We're on a virtual balcony waaaaaaaay in the aft of the ship. Like literally the last hallway. which, as i write this at quarter to 3am on the first night, seems to have "blue screened" lol. Will have to call maintenance in the actual morning. It's a nice little room though. Little is the keyword though. The bathroom is tiny but not as much as i was honestly expecting. I can fit on the potty without issue. Haven't tried finagling the shower yet but worst comes to worst I'll just use the pool showers or something. No big deal.
Anyway. This ship is fecking HUGE like 15 floors or some shit. I can't remember right now. There's these cool interactive signs scattered around that are like Google maps for the ship. They even give you step by step directions to point B. Embark and probably debark are gonna take some finagling on my part because the hallways are pretty narrow and i got a fat butt which isn't super friendly to navigating with peoples luggage.
Our muster station is waaaaaay in the aft on deck 4. There's a great plane of windows down there so i just stayed and watched the ship depart. I actually am quite enjoying the gentle rocking of the ship.
Our stateroom attendant's name is Danny. He's from India, it says it on his nametag and i like him a lot. 
More to come as i think about it. 
-------
Breakfast at the windjammer. Watching the water go by is kind of a trip ngl. Breakfast is much more satisfying than dinner was. I have sated my need for a fuck ton of scrambled eggs. But dinner was room service cause we were both exhausted. I'm pretty sure we were both asleep before 9 lol.
The shower in our room was actually bigger than i had thought. Plus shower head on a hose in the room made everything so much easier to deal with. It was still expectedly cramped but i didn't feel like i had any issues with it. 
Summer and i explored around the ship. Lots of floors of rooms, a couple with mall stuff... Not a whole lot else. The solarium is nice. Surprisingly the outdoor pool had a bunch of people using it. It was under 60. 
I wanted to go up in the north star, but the time they had open for guests without reservations was like... By the time i got to the line it was insane and i just went fuq it. Same thing happened with summer and the bumper cars. But that's a case of it'll be available another day surely.
We stumbled into a silent disco while we were killing time before dinner. We were just on a mission of caffeine. Was a fun way to kill a couple hours before dinner.
Fancy dinner was nice. My dress is going to need to be edited (as my mom calls it) because while i like the length it did not fit right in the chest and shoulders. The shawl thing that came with it kept everything covered though. We were going to go to karaoke after dinner but ended up blowing that off. I'd been fighting yawns most of the day at this point and wanted to get out of the dress more. There will be another one tomorrow so i just laid down and basically died. Been going to bed real early the last couple nights.
Oh. Also we crossed into a new time zone some time in the mid morning. That might have a little bit to do with it. At least on summer's part since their body is in eastern time and mine is still in Pacific.
----------
Our breakfast guy is Renato from the phillipines and he gives fist bumps. We both like him very much. 
Unsurprisingly it is WICKED cold in the morning. Then it decided you be windy as fuq as well. So we're going to watch the glacier passing from the warmth of the Solarium. I was told to not be surprised if it was rainy most of the cruise but this morning at least it's really sunny and clear. Will give a good view of the glacier when we get there.
We got a bunch of pictures and ate lunch at fish and ships before we got off the ship. Now I'm gonna do the tourist thing. BBL!

The Bates Motel Series finale was everything I could have ever hoped for and more.
Unfortunately... my television reception was not. I missed the last couple minutes; the last thing I saw was what I’m assuming was a close up of Emma holding Katie’s hand. I’m so emotional right now idk if I even wanna talk. It was just... perfect. Perfect fuckin’ finale. Perfect goodbye. True as ever to all characters. Perfect.
WOWOWOW. What a start!!! I’m glad they didn’t fuck around with the confrontation with Romero – it felt… right. Like – they didn’t drag it out, y’know? I was worried they would. His plot this season was pretty cut and dry.  I knew the second he bent to help dig out Norma he was gonna die very soon though – turning his back to Norman like that, with his gun so easily reachable? Rookie mistake, but it seemed right, even for a badass like Romero, because he was staring at what used to be Norma Bates and… just…. Sdhjfjsjhk
I’m a little confused about Mother disappearing though. Like… Mother, uh, Norman’s still in a shit ton of trouble with, y’know, the death penalty hanging over his head and stuff??? But maybe she’s more leaving purely because Norman knows everything, like he can’t hide – he had to deal. I dunno. I’m a little confused about this part.
I’m also confused about Dylan’s immediate knowledge about Romero? He must have found out about what’s going on with Alex off-screen. Would’ve liked to have been shown his learning about everything going on with Romero, to know how/why, but I guess it isn’t as crucial as some other things so I get it, although I feel like they wasted a lot of time on much less important/relevant things, but… y’know, I’m not that fussed. I’m super happy he’s again reiterating that Norman needs help, not to be killed, and I’m super disappointed with Sheriff Greene’s refusal to even acknowledge the possibility that Norman is ill and her black and white view of condemning him. I mean, I get it, she’s friends with Regina and so on so forth and she would be her main concern, but she seems so dismissive about Norman. Kudos to Dylan for sticking up for Norman, as always! He loves his little brother so much, no matter what. I can only imagine how he felt when he was called down to the police department. :(
Sidenote: pretty annoyed they considered this episode “adult content” just because Romero dropped an f-bomb. I dunno if I missed the first few minutes or not because I had to guess a pin number to be able to watch :/ and it said it would only give me thirty minutes, which is dumb, bc what if it cuts out mid episode????
 HOLY SHIT wow that was
So painful
Casually just bawling
I’m such a wimp when it comes to flashbacks/references to series pilots in the finales like I just….
Wow…. And Norma… god, I miss Norma so much I feel sick… oh, Norman… my heart is just… absolutely shattered for this family… for Norma, and for Norman, and Dylan who’s gonna be walking in to all of this inevitably… I just… wow… beautiful. So beautiful. Well done, writers. Way to hit us right in the fucking feels… uuuuugh. Absolute pros. I dunno why I was even a little nervous, I mean – freaking Carlton Cuse, man…. I don’t… I don’t even know what else to write…. Just…. There was so much HOPE in the beginning, just… dreams and hopes and now… the contrast is just – absolutely gut wrenching…. Gahhhh this pain is why it’s okay this series is ending, it just – it can’t get worse…. Wow…
((((((
OH MY GOD IF ONLY THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED BACK THEN THO
I AM SO EMOTIONAL RN? FUCK WHY DIDN’T THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
IS THIS NORMAN’S SUBCONSCIOUS SELF KNOWING HE NEEDS DYLAN’S HELP? BECAUSE DYLAN TOLD HIM ‘I’M YOUR BROTHER AND I LOVE YOU’ AND MAYBE PART OF NORMAN REMEMBERS THAT? WAS REMINDED, FAINTLY, BECAUSE OF THOSE GUESTS AT THE MOTEL?
I’m sorry I went all caps lock I just – can’t rn?? Like… really!? I AM SO BEYOND PHENOMENALLY PLEASED
LIKE WE GOT TO SEE REMO TOO! FUCKING /REMO!/ I’M JUST SO HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING SO FAR KSDHJSFDJH
I don’t even know what else to write while I wait for these fecking commercials to end
I don’t even care that there’s only 20 minutes left I’m just so pleased with everything so far??/
Thank you writers for recognizing the need for us to say goodbye and not trying to cram plots at us!! They’re just honouring the characters we’ve grown to love and that is all I ever need from series finales and THANK YOU CARLTON CUSE YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING YOU ARE BEING SO GOOD TO US FANS?? We’re seeing Norma, we’ve said goodbye to mother, we’ve said goodbye to Romero, we’re seeing sweet, kind, good kid Norman, we’re seeing how far Dylan has come from the star… this is just all so beautiful and I’m just so pleased so far.
I’m just terrified about like… what Norman is gonna do now when Dylan shows up. I have this really bad feeling about the circumstances , like – I really still feel like Norman will die, but I’m so scared that he’s gonna die in front of Dylan, whether by Dylan’s hand or by his own hand, but for Dylan to ever get over that… oh, man…
I mean, I say I’m terrified, which I  am, but at the same time it’s just a fear because I’ll feel so bad for Dylan, not because I think it’d be bad writing if that makes sense
BUT WOW THIS FINALE SO FARRRR.
I CANNOT I LOVE DYLAN SO MUCH THO OK? HE IS JUST
HE IS SO WONDERFUL AND HE LOVES SO MUCH AND HE JUST HAS THIS HEART THAT IS CRAZY LOYAL AND BRAVE AND FEARFUL BUT BRAVE AND HE DOES STUPID SHIT BECAUSE HE LOVES PEOPLE WHO DO CRAZY SHIT AND I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH OH GOD
They really seem  to be wanting us to think Dylan is gonna die!!!!! Which just makes me so anxious bc I know he probably won’t thanks to the dumbass who posted those spoiler photos buTTTT that means something crazy emotional is gonna happen regardless and I just fucking can’t because everything has been so goddamn perfect so far I just can’t HANDLE ANY MORE I’m so scared kshdjfjsh DYLAN IS GONNA WALK UP THERE AND SEE NORMA’S CORPSE I’M NOT OK I’M NOT BUT I AM BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT FINALE???? I LOVE IT AHHH.
WOW I just kldshjkf I’m wasting time now tryna make commercials go faster because I am speechless WITH HOW PERFECT THIS FINALE IS I don’t even know what else to say EXCEPT THERE’S ONLY 8 MINUTES LEFT WTF I’M SO SAD BUT SO HAPPY BECAUSE WE’RE GONNA KNOW IT ALL AND THERE’S AN AFTER SHOW AND I MIGHT HAVE TO WATCH IT  AND I have no sweet clue how I’m supposed to sleep tonight honestly like I better just crash because this is ridiculous I’m so ksjdhsfjhdkjhf about everything
Just thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the writers for this BEAUTIFUL FINALE
THANK YOU FOR HAVING DYLAN STAY TRUE TO CHARACTER. <33333 I’m just… so proud of him
I’m so proud of Dylan Massett
“I know I have a child.”
MAX FUCK YOU MAX JUST TEAR MY HEART OUT OF MY CHEST WHY DON’T YOU
“and a wife”
ASLKDJFHJDFLSDKHC MAAAAAX THAT  LINE DELIVERY THO JUST WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE RECOGNIZE THIS MAN’S TALENT TOO PLEASE???
I have no words except that it was perfect.  I’m bawling like a baby tbh. Like… I’m speechless and just sitting here crying.
Unfortunately my tv stopped working lietrally the second the camera panned to Emma holding Katie’s hand so I’m missing the last couple minutes/minute. :/
