Let me be the one to ask. How did you come up with this Queerplatonic Frans concept? What drew you into making this?
Aww thank you for asking such a delicious question, pal! Hope you're ready to listen to my 1 am rambles XD
Alright so, to be completely honest...I actually don't truly know how Romance works to execute it myself 😬
Tumblr media
Haha yup, sadly, the concept of Romance and Romantic Attraction didn't naturally come to me my whole life and I had a hard time understanding them. (Skill issue, amiright?) So I learned about them through fiction. And even then, my understanding of Romance was a little bit different from what it's usually is (spoiler: it wasn't actually Romance, the word I needed was "Queerplatonic").
I've drawn ship arts before I started drawing Frans and let me tell you, almost all of them were 2 characters just standing next to each other, no hugs, no kisses. Maybe they'll look at each other with fondness. And I was like "hell yeah, I've achieved Romance 😌" pfft.
My 2020 Frans works were where my ship art skills got improved. But you can still see that they aren't explicitly romantic (like, the first time I drew a Frans forehead kiss was for a request). Whatever, I was drawing stuffs about my fav lil guys and I was happy... and yet a tiny part of me wasn't feeling it, like it felt...odd to call them romantic. All these shippy art and I still felt uncomfortable to draw something extremely Romantic. (...this kinda sounds similar to a comphet kind of situation, you get what I'm saying?)
2 years later, I learned about the term "queerplatonic" and just like that, everything made sense =o Now THAT'S the kind of relationship I've been thinking about all these years and it felt magical. Suddenly, with this new knowledge, drawing shippy art felt more comfortable for me, cozy even. Cuz now, the "romance" I'm making is like something a little special for me.
And then I thought "what if I...👀" I grabbed Frisk and Sans like figurines and used them to make my own little ideas of a queerplatonic relationship as they were the perfect materials to work with for me.
Tumblr media
I've actually been busying myself with thinking up ideas for them a year before I revealed it to my mutuals, even long before I revealed it publicly 😅
Still, my Roommate Banter AU Frans is still classic romantic. I've only been making funny lil contents of them but I swear! They're secretly crushing on each other, there's romance underneath! I just suck at Romance 😭
So yeah, TL:DR, I don't completely understand romance so I did what I felt comfortable and did actually get the most, approach a ship with a queerplatonic lens.
Tho I'm still learning about Romance cuz there're other ships I'd love to draw shippy art for XD
Anyways, yeah thank you to anyone who read all of this and thank you dear anon for indulging me with your ask <3 Have a lovely day/night ^^

Hii, sweetheart! I don't remember if I've already asked you for a request but.. I've just realized that you write even for Obey Me! so I needed to request you something! 👀 you're free not to write it anyway! 🤗🌸 so..
Could I request for some headcanons for Beel, Mammon and Levi with an opposite gn!s/o? As "opposite" I refer about someone who's like completely different from them, for instance someone who's vegan or even on a diet for Beel etc..🤣 I know it's strange but I'd like to see how the bois would act with someone who's completely different from them.
Thank you so much and good luck with your blog! It's lovely! 💜 (love for that Doppo gif under the welcome message btw 👀✨)
Beel, Mammon, and Levi with an opposite NB! s/o
omg Hebi hi!!! (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠!! hiii I'm your biggest fan <3 It's the first time you requesting something and I'm really appreciate that!! please enjoy
NBreader, fluff, just wholesome stuff;;
Tumblr media
-Oh.. What do you mean you don't like food?! He can't believe it…
-But he's okay with it, at least in the beginning of your relationship. That just means he can get a second portion, eating your meal himself. (or maybe it was a third one, as you can see Levi sitting next to Beel with a disappointed face, screaming when he gets time to eat his dish too..)
-But he's kinda curious, why did you decide to go on a diet? In his eyes, you're already perfect and he can't see this "extra pounds" you are talking about.
-Well, but Asmo also sometimes left his plate half unfinished, mumbling about the new blouse he wants to feet in, so Beel kinda understands your motives. But still, is all this diets actually worth it?
-He actually also has a diet, but quite the opposite of yours, as the only rule he's following is eating everything he wants, so he can gain more weight and put it on his muscles. Don't want to try?
-But as time passes and you become closer to him, he will try more and more to feed you, worrying that you are starving. You really want to say it's enough for you? For him, this little plate that you just eat looks like a glass of water, nothing that nutritious.
-So he would take you to different cafes and restaurants often, as it's his favorite type of date - just sitting together and eating, talking softly about some random things.
-"I hear that there's a new cafe opening tomorrow.." - he said with an excited expression, you already can see this hungry glow in his eyes and a little joyful blush on cheeks. But when he looks at you, he blushes a little bit more, smiling softly - "S/o.. You're the one which I wanted to share food with on this day, as it would be a special occasion, isn't it? What do you think?"
-He loves food, and he loves you, so why not connect these two things that always cheer him up? Even if you order something small, he's still glad that he was able to spend some time with you.
-"Ooh, this one is absolutely something.." - he leaned closer as you two were sitting in a cafe, his finger pointing out at the dish in the menu you have in your arms. - "I always can't get enough, you should try this meal too, s/o..!"
-Well, but if you are a vegetarian, he will not try to change that, respecting your choice. But it doesn't mean he wouldn't add an extra spoon of salad to your plate when you don't see that. He's still worried, after all!
-Would scold Mammon, as he's the one who always forgets that you don't eat meat when it's his turn to cook for everyone.
-"Beel, don't play nice, you just wanted to eat their portions, huh?!" - Mammon scoffs while Beel carefully takes pieces of meat from your plate. Well, maybe it's also the truth, but he's mostly worried about you, as he doesn't want you to skip dinner.
-After all, you're his precious human, and even if your stomach is not working like his own, Beel still loves you, always ready to help you with leftovers or recommend a delicious dish if you suddenly want to eat more.
Tumblr media
-Oh, how foolish you are, being so nice and generous with everyone around...!
-He can't believe that - have all his dreams actually come true and now he has this cute looking wallet walking around him?!
-Yes, he will try to take advantage of it - it's a payment for his guide, after all!! He was the first who introduced you to everything around here, so it's natural that you're so kind to him, isn't it?! (no it's not and Lucifer would punish this poor greedy man when he will hear about this..)
-"You should be very grateful, s/o, that I am always babysitting you.." - Mammon shrugs his shoulders with smuggy face - "Other demons are not as good as I am, so always be next to me or someone will try to trick you, alright?!"
-Well, or at least Mammon tries to think like that. It's humbling to admit even for himself that your naiveness in finance actually touched his heart.
-You always don't mind buying him something or making a sudden gift, you know how hard it is to hide his blush?!
-"Is.. is it for me?!" - he looks surprised at the little box you give him, and then laughs happily with the most cheerful expression you've ever seen on him. - "That's it! That's my human, you always know how to cheer me up..!"
-But.. Something in his soul told him that he should do the same for you, when he sits in his room late at night, holding all your presents close to his chest. It's the only time when he can let his sensitive soul out, blushing and smiling awkwardly.
-He's kinda worried now.. You're almost the pure opposite of him. What if one day he would actually annoy you with his greedy behavior?! He can't lose this beautiful kind smile you always have for him..
-So he would try to make you a gift in return. Yes, "make", as Lucifer froze his credit card once again and he can't buy anything now. But also he thought that.. Aren't the things that you made with your own arms more valuable? It means you put effort and love in this..
-"S/o, be glad cause today is your lucky day! The great Mammon was so kind to condescend to merely humans and give you this..!" - despite his pompous speech you can see how heavily he blushes, holding a box in golden wrap in his trembling hands - "You should thank me for centuries now..!"
-But when you giggle and actually thank him, telling how much you appreciate something like that, he can't help but loosen up a little and stop being so mouthy, finally showing his softer side.
-"Hehe..glad you like it. I hope you look forward to something more, as I don't mind surprising you again.. especially when you smile at me like that.."
Tumblr media
-His worst nightmare came true.. There's another normie in this house!!
-He is already having Asmo, who's always bubbling around about his parties and rich social life, but now there's you too, having no idea about games he's playing and anime he's watching..!
-Levi is kinda nervous every time he's talking with you. What if he gets infected with this "normie" virus?!
-But you are always so open and easygoing, absolutely opposite of his acute social withdrawal.. Why is talking with you so addicting?! Even when he starts mumbling about some specific details of his favorite Tale of the Seven Lords, you keep listening to him, and it makes him want to talk more and more..!
-"Hm.. For someone who's had their minds so deeply in this horrifying "party-party" thing, you are not that bad. You're good at catching everything that I say on the fly.." - he admires and looks away, ashamed. Why is his hand so sweaty and his voice trembling so much?!
-Even if he tries to talk with you less often, it feels worse.. just when he gets used to your bright presence in his hermit's life?! Your warm smile and little chit chats cheer him up so much, even more than the new figure of Ruri-chan that he bought recently.. Is he actually going insane?!
-So he breaks eventually and starts to drag you to his bedroom sometimes just to watch something together or play a new videogame he buys, cause now enjoying all this stuff all alone was not that pleasant. With you, experiencing the new series was much more interesting, and oh how fun it is to share his thoughts about cosplay with someone..!
-He was also quite surprised - someone with such a cute face as yours never heard of cosplay?! Hold on, your appearance reminds him about one of wizards from an anime he watched not that long ago, don't you wanna try now?
-"Here.. " - he shows you a picture of an anime character in some magic school uniform that actually looks like you - "We.. we can watch it together, so you would understand their behavior and know how to cosplay them, alright?!"
-If Levi can't resist this urge to talk with you, he at least tries to lure you in his world, recommending some interesting anime that would be easy to watch for beginners, lending you his manga and CD with games.
-"It's never too late to become a true otaku! You have the right potential!" - he nods with furrowed brows and takes the volume of manga that he gave you before from your arms - "And now it's time for a quiz!! Be ready, s/o!!"
-If in the beginning everything looked like a poor quality comedy to him, now he feels like he is in some romantic series and he's the main character..! He can remember an anime title with a similar plot where otaku fall in love with gyaru, maybe everything would be the same with you two?! He should recommend this anime to you next then..

So maybe it's just because I finally finished Telltale's The Walking Dead last week, but I keep thinking about my Mianite zombie au that I love the concept of but like have no idea if I'll ever write proper stuff for. I've talked about a number of the details before, but I have like more concrete ideas now, I think anyway
So like zombie apocalypse 10-ish years in, the world has pretty much settled into: There are zombies now and while life can be pretty nice in the towns we've set up, most of the world is fucked. All the main characters remember the world pre-apoc, but that was back when they were kids. All of them have long since been forced to adjust to their new world. Zombies are walking dead style, mostly slow moving, but there are ‘special’ zombies around (though idk exactly what they do). (Actually details under the read more because I when the prompt says ramble, I ramble ^-^)
Tucker is a town guard/occasional bounty hunter when the pay is good enough.
Tom is a scavenger who typically lives in the same town as Tucker, but has a couple safe bases in the abandoned towns and cities he scavenges from.
Jordan is a bandit leader, he himself always seems friendly enough, but his group is known for robbing and sometimes killing travelling traders and blackmailing less defended towns for supplies.
Sonja is a researcher in an underground facility that’s still looking for the cure. She’s very rarely gone out into the wider world, though she’s desperate to know if it’s really as bad as everyone says it is.
Wag is a mechanic/scout for the same research facility, one of the few people that is allowed into the outside world. He’s thoroughly entertained by Sonja’s questions, even if some of the other researchers think that her wanting to learn about life outside the facility is dragging her focus away from the cure effort.
Capsize and Redbeard used to be travelling traders until their group was attacked by bandits. Capsize fought them off, but made herself the number one target of the local bandit leader. The two have set up base in an abandoned town, setting up traps to help them pick off the bandits that seem determined to track them down, and trading with any friendly scavengers for supplies.
Tom and Capsize end up finding out they’re immune after being bitten.
Tom was bitten a couple of months back. He didn’t even realise he was bitten for three days, finding the fading wound on his leg after getting back to town and washing up. He’s only guessing the time as that was the last time he saw zombies at all. He knew sometime was wrong, he was far past the typical turning time and had none of the symptoms he’d seen other people develop in the hours after their bites. But he also knew that if anyone learnt he was bitten he was dead. So, on his next trip out, he doesn’t come back, hoping that everyone writes him off as just disappearing into the night. Tucker has become increasingly worried about him not returning.
Capsize was bitten over a year ago, clearing out a building went very wrong and she ended up with a bite on her shoulder, the zombie only just missing her neck before Redbeard sliced through it with an axe. She passed out, and woke up handcuffed to a radiator with first aid having been applied to her shoulder. Redbeard was in incredibly heavy denial about her being bitten, insisting that she was going to be fine. And by some miracle she was, after several days handcuffed to a radiator, yelling at her brother to stop ignoring the problem, she realises that she hasn’t gotten any of the symptoms someone would have from a bite infection. She’s still not happy he did something that almost certainly should’ve led to his own death, but she admits he saved her life. Until they found a scarf to fully cover the now-scarred wound, they took local traders it was a dog bite, though a rumour has spread about the true origins of the wound.
The plots lines are kind meant to be split in three from one starting point:
One - Tucker is approached by Jordan to help him track down and capture the woman who’s been killing his people. Jordan presents himself as the leader of a smaller farming settlement, since he’s pretty sure if Tucker found out who he actually was he’d certainly go for the larger bounty of just taking him in. Tucker has a small suspicion on Jordan, mostly on the payment he offers as he’s rarely had offers so large. Tucker agrees to help him, but rather than a traditional payment, he wants Jordan, or any of his people, to help him to try and find Tom. Whether they find him alive or dead, he doesn’t care, but he wants to know what happened to his friend. Jordan agrees and the two head out towards an abandoned town where they hope to find the person causing Jordan such trouble.
Two - Tom arrives at the abandoned town expecting to find the two siblings he’d been regularly trading with especially since his self-imposed exile. What he doesn’t expect to find is the place half-wrecked with Redbeard sporting a head wound and Capsize nowhere to be found. Tom helps the other man with first aid, as he explains shaken that what looked like pre-apocalypse soldiers came and grabbed Capsize. When Tom questions why, Redbeard ends up explaining the situation with her bite, not expecting Tom to believe him and expecting even less for Tom to reveal his own scarred bite wound. The two set out to try and track down the soldiers.
Three - Though the rumours have been spreading through the facility for months about an apparent immune survivor being found on the outside, Sonja had never actually expected one to actually be found. But she watches as a woman is dragged yelling and fighting down the halls to an operation room, a woman with a bite on her shoulder far too old for her to have not turned under normal circumstances. Capsize finds herself locked in the cleanest room she’d seen, let alone been in, in years, terrified out of her mind as strangers talk about experiments and science beyond what she learned before the world went to shit. They ask her questions about the bite, and her medical history despite how she couldn’t remember any of that if she tried, but there’s a woman around her age who comes in and asks about her life, about the outside world, about seemingly anything but what everyone else seems focused on. She clings to her friendliness, hoping it means something. As she realises the others plan to actually experiment on a living human being, Sonja begins wondering if whatever hope they might have for a cure is really worth it.
At some point the plot lines would combine, but I have absolutely no idea when, I just liked the vibes of the starting pairs I laid out.

Choices: A Red Carpet Diaries Fan Fic
(Thomas Hunt x OC) inspired by Top Gun Maverick and taken from my A Second Chance AU
A/N: LOL! Okay. Everyone who looks at my fics/moodboards/etc knows that Jon Hamm is my FC for Thomas Hunt. Blame my eternal love of Mad Men, smh. Anyway, due to the violence and sadness going on in my current TRR Dark AU series and that bit of angsty fluff fic with Drake and Olivia and this last angsty one with Riley, I need some fluff, humor, family life, jealousy; all the stuff I normally write for a breather. And now that my husband is out of the hospital and well again (and life has finally calmed down, LOL) I needed a Thomas Hunt fic! I adore the action, romance, and cheesy 80s aspects of the first Top Gun. And yes, I will confess that I saw Top Gun Maverick twice the week it came out. But this sequel knocks it out of the park storyline wise. And maybe because they added a certain Mr. Jon Hamm to the mix makes it even better 👀 So in this fic of mine, it isn't Jon given the role of Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson. It is our beloved Mr. Hunt much to his wife's delight. And yes my OC, Amanda, is given my love of Top Gun and my own personal embarrassing story of what I used to do when playing the original's love song when single and dating as a teenager 🙈 Those poor guys never understood why I insisted on playing such an old soundtrack each date.

Tumblr media
"Cut!" Joseph yelled out. He had a big smile gracing his lips. "That is exactly the reaction I was looking for."
Thomas tried to be grateful for the compliment. It has been nearly two decades since he had stepped back in front of the camera. He knew the reason for deciding to act just this once was because of a desire to work with Joseph Kosinski. His fellow director impressed him with many of his previous films.
He'd also looked forward to finally being able to work with Tom Cruise. The two Hollywood icons tried for nearly fifteen years to find a free moment to collaborate on a film. Each time Thomas had a new project, it seemed that Tom was in the midst of filming a new sequel to his Mission: Impossible franchise or there wasn't a part right for the actor.
Everything about this should be perfect.
Though this was a sequel, and Thomas typically detested such, there was something about the script that drew him into the storyline. This wasn't your typical action movie. It had heart. It touched emotions he hadn't thought possible for a story about a bunch of hotshot pilots.
Thomas should be having the time of his life, instead of fighting a burning jealousy that could only be sparked by one person.
His wife.
Amanda had no idea how badly he wanted to punch Tom Cruise in his still too handsome face. Her reaction to hearing there was not only a sequel to, unknown to her husband, one of her favorite films but that Thomas would be taking part had taken him completely by surprise.
As Thomas made his way back to his trailer, he could still picture his wife's face when he told her he wanted her to come on location with him.
******************
A month earlier...
"I want it to be just the two of us." Thomas slipped his arms around her. "Rachel and Stephen agreed to watch Kathleen and the twins." He smiled softly at her. "We haven't had a vacation of sorts alone since our honeymoon."
"You know I would love that." Amanda leaned in to kiss him. "But we can't be away from the children that long."
"We'll have them visit." He responded. "If they miss us too much, then we will have them stay."
Amanda's smile twisted into a playful grimace. "We both know once Rachel and Stephen are here that you and I will be easily forgotten."
He snorted, shaking his head. It was true. Kathleen, Ian, and Elizabeth adored their aunt and uncle. Nothing made them more excited than getting special time with them. Most of the requests when they came by for a visit were for their parents to stay home while they went out with their fun loving relatives.
"Perhaps time away will make them remember they love us too." Thomas teased, pulling Amanda closer. "And give us a chance to show each other our own feelings."
"Don't you dare give me that look!" Amanda playfully scolded.
"What look?" His lips skated down her nexk
"You know very well which look." She met his lips in a long heated kiss. "That look plus kisses like that got me pregnant twice."
"Must be powerful." He mumbled, kissing her again.
"Very." She sighed softly as his hands moved along her curves. "You never told me what type of movie you will be starring in."
"Costarring." He reminded her. "It is actually a sequel to one of Tom's old movies."
Her fingers stilled in unbuttoning his shirt. "Oh? Which one?"
"Top Gun." He tugged her shirt up over her head.
"Top Gun!" Amanda squealed, pushing out of his arms.
Thomas stared at her in surprise.
"I love that movie!" She continued, smiling even more at the notion. "Are you his new wingman?"
"No." His eyes narrowed somewhat over her slight pout hearing that. "I play an admiral over the pilot school, Admiral Beau Cyclone Simpson."
"Really?" Amanda sat down at the foot of the bed. "Does your character, Cyclone, like Maverick or do you disapprove of his actions and attitude?"
Thomas folded his arms. He could tell that all thoughts of romance had left by her simply sitting there being unusually inquisitive during his attempt at seduction.
"I disapprove." He grumbled, meaning it in more ways than one.
"I knew it." She nodded. "With your personality and voice, you would be serious and against Maverick."
His eyes narrowed. "Let me guess, you like his character?"
"Of course I do!" Her laughter over what was clearly a ridiculous question turned into a deep, heartfelt sigh. "Who wouldn't love him?"
So like is now love, he thought to himself.
"Do you think he will wear the outfit?" Amanda asked after a few moments of staring off into space.
"Outfit?
"You know?" Amanda prodded. "The Maverick look: blue jeans, tight white t-shirt, brown bomber jacket, and those aviator sunglasses." Her sigh was even louder than the one that came before it.
Thomas frowned while buttoning his shirt. "I don't know what he is wearing in the film."
"If I see him in person wearing that and riding his motorcycle..." Amanda shook her head with a dreamy smile as her voice trailed off.
"I take it you like this particular look." Thomas said with a sarcastic edge.
"It was my favorite look on a man for years." Amanda cut her eyes to her husband. "Right up until I saw you for the first time in a tuxedo."
Thomas stilled in his actions. "Really?"
She nodded, rising off the bed to wind her arms around his neck. "You made every other look and man fade away once I saw you."
His frown eased hearing that.
She pressed a long, tender kiss to his lips. Her hands slid down to start unbuttoning his shirt once more.
"Will you, by chance, be wearing any navy uniforms in this movie?" She bit down on her bottom lip when his kisses traveled along her neck and shoulders.
"I will." He cocked an eyebrow at her.
Her smile turned flirty. "I can't wait to see how you look in them."
His smile reappeared as her lips crashed back against his.
******************
He should have known when he first saw Tom in the stupid white t-shirt and blue jeans that his wife would be thrilled. He heard her slight oh the moment the actor pulled out the leather jacket and made his way over to them.
"You must be Amanda." Tom held his hand out, a big smile popping up.
"I am." Her own matching smile irritated Thomas. "It is so nice to finally meet you."
As the two talked, Thomas could only stand there both grateful for his own aviator sunglasses hiding his glare and cursing the eyeware to perdition because Tom slipped his on. Then he felt heat flare over him as the two walked toward a motorcycle, leaving him to trail behind.
"I know this isn't the GPZ from the first movie." Amanda said, eyeing the new bike. "Is it still a Kawasaki?"
"You know your bikes." Tom replied with a smile.
"I don't." She laughed. "I only know the one you rode in Top Gun." A blush crept up her cheeks. "When my uncle showed me the movie, it became a dream of mine when I was thirteen to ride on one."
"Would you like to try this one?" Tom asked.
"She doesn't know how to drive a motorcycle." Thomas quickly spoke up.
"Then how about I give you a ride?" Tom put the bomber jacket on, then swung his leg over the seat. "We've got some downtime before the next scene."
Thomas was already shaking his head while his wife was nodding hers.
"I'd love to!" She quickly got behind Tom.
Thomas stood there with his jaw dropped. His wife was asking where to put her feet and then where to hold on for safety.
"Just hold on tight to me." Tom told her, starting up the bike. "And lean into the curves."
"Wait!" Thomas struggled to speak. "Doesn't she need a helmet?"
They didn't hear him over the roar of the engine. Amanda wrapped her arms around Tom's waist, scooting much too close in her husband's opinion to the actor's back, and with a quick nod, they took off down the road.
Leaving Thomas fuming.
****************
Later that evening...
"That was the most thrilling ride I've ever been on." Amanda continued to gush. "I've been on motorcycles a few times in my life, but nothing will ever top that!"
Thomas blew the candles out at the table he had made certain was set for a romantic dinner for two. Their bungalow at the beach couldn't have been more perfect for a second honeymoon. Dinner with the waves hitting the shore in the background should have been pleasant.
If only Tom Crusie was not a part of it.
Amanda began to collect their empty dishes while continuing to talk about her teenage fantasy becoming a reality.
"To have him dressed like that while he drove me around was perfect." She sighed softly. "If only my sixteen-year-old self knew it would one day happen."
Thomas eyed her over the rim of his glass. "Sixteen?"
She nodded. Another blush covered her cheeks. "I used to fantasize that I could be the girl Maverick falls for. Takes on rides at night." Her smile turned a tad self-depreciating. "Kiss."
Thomas took a needed gulp of his drink. He welcomed the burn to keep his jealous words from tumbling out.
"I know what I'm about to admit sounds awful." Amanda tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, eyes averted from her husband. "But do you remember the love song in the first Top Gun?"
"Yes." Thomas cleared his throat. "Take My Breath Away."
Amanda's lips curved somewhat. "Gah. That song used to give me chills. When it plays in the movie, and Tom and Kelly start to make love..." She shifted nervously, "I used to play that when on a date."
Thomas frowned somewhat. "The film's love scene?"
"No. Take My Breath Away." Amanda finally looked up at him. "Remember, I was sixteen and well, I used to close my eyes and pretend the guy that was kissing me was Maverick."
Thomas didn't know how to respond. How had he managed to somehow end up in a movie with the one actor his wife not only fantasized about but also felt the need to tell him every detail of it.
"It makes me sound horrible." Amanda mumbled when she noticed the look of disbelief on her husband's face.
"No." He managed to say. "Like you said, you were young and most likely the young men you were dating at the time could have used an upgrade."
Amanda shook her head with a laugh. "It's true." Her smile was warm once again. "I suppose they too imagined I was someone else."
He doubted it.
She wound her arms around his neck. "So..."
Thomas quirked an eyebrow in silent question.
"We are all alone." She threaded her fingers through his hair. "No twelve year old or seven year olds knocking at the door." Her lips found his earlobe. "Whatever shall we do with this freedom?"
His arms locked around her. Eyes closed tight with the way she kissed him.
Thank God that song isn't playing somewhere, he thought to himself.
Her hands drifted down his body.
And then he couldn't think at all.
******************
The next few weeks went quickly. Thomas found himself gritting his teeth anytime his wife and co-star interacted. When it came time to perform his scenes, he had no trouble at all displaying the struggle of keeping his dislike at bay.
Tom and Joseph praised him for somehow conveying that dislike just below the surface.
"I gotta say," Tom patted him on the back after once scene, "that look you gave me was one that made me pause in wondering if you really can't stand me." He chuckled as he parted from Thomas and went into his trailer.
Thomas had to bite back that he wasn't acting, at least not in the sense he used to.
He was going full method for this role.
***************
During Thomas's last week to film for his scenes, a party was given in Tom's bungalow.
Amanda seemed more excited than usual on the days leading up to it. Thomas didn't ask why she was. The last thing he needed was another reason to be jealous. But the night of the party, he was unable to remain silent.
She was actually humming to herself while putting her makeup on. He couldn't remember a time she was this giddy to go out for a night of supposed revelry.
"You seem happier than usual." He grumbled as he stepped out of the shower.
"I do?" Her eyes found him in the reflection of her mirror. "I suppose I am."
He wrapped a towel around his waist, dreading to hear her reasons.
"I know that tonight marks our final days here." A smile played about her lips as she searched for her powder. "I've missed our home and daily routines. Having the children visit us was nice, but I can't wait to get back to them." She lifted her eyes to her husband's. "Though I have thoroughly enjoyed our alone time."
Thomas felt his dread disappear. It wasn't the fact she was about to see Tom Cruise or anything at all to do with her feelings for his character. She wanted what he wanted. To go home and return to the life they had together was still a shared dream.
He came up behind her, tilted her face up, and gave her a tender kiss. He felt her smile against his lips as her fingers tangled in his damp hair.
"You're making me want to be late to the party." She teased.
"You're wrong." He kissed her again. "You're the one making me want to forget about what time we should arrive." His hands grasped her waist, urging her closer as their kisses became more heated. "Hearing you say that you want what I long for in returning home makes it impossible not to kiss you."
She reluctantly stepped back with a frustrated moan. "We better stop while we still can." Her half-smile revealed how little she wanted to. "It would be rude of us not to be on time."
His hands slid inside her robe, pulling her closer than before.
"We'll be fashionably late." He whispered against her skin.
*********************
Perhaps it was the talk the two had or the fact that his skin still tingled from making love to Amanda an hour earlier, but Thomas was doing better at observing from across the room his wife in deep discussion with Tom Cruise.
Seeing Joseph as part of the conversation also helped him keep his jealousy at a low boil.
When she was pulled away by some of his costars, he decided to find out what they had been talking about.
"I bet your ears are burning." Tom teased.
"Burning?" Thomas asked.
"I think you married your biggest fan." Joseph explained. "She was just telling us how much she loves watching you in the scenes you were in."
"She did?" Thomas couldn't stop his smile from forming.
Tom shook his head with a laugh. "My feelings would be hurt if she wasn't married to you. She was blind to the rest of us as soon as you showed up in a scene." He winked at Thomas. "Thank God you weren't in every scene or else she wouldn't have been able to critique my own performance."
"I'd say that you are a lucky man," Joseph added with a grin, "but then that would mean we aren't as lucky as you."
"And we can't have that." Tom teased.
"No, I suppose not." Thomas mumbled, searching the room for his wife.
"She stepped outside in case you are wondering." Joseph pointed toward the patio door.
The two watched in amusement as Thomas hurried off without another word.
***************
He found her near the water. After all these years, he still loved how she would leave a party to get off by herself to think on things and the people she interacted with. He also loved that she never insisted they remain at said party until the bitter end.
He wrapped his arms around her, smiling as she immediately relaxed back against him.
"I was looking for you."
She pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Looks like you found me."
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming out here?"
"You were talking to Tom and Joseph. I didn't want to interrupt." Amanda turned in his arms so she could slide hers around him.
"You," Thomas leaned down until he was barely brushing her lips, "are never an interruption."
She started to laugh when he drily admitted that she was a distraction though.
"I'll try to stop that." She said once calm.
"You better not." He muttered, finally kissing her.
"I'm going to miss this." She mumbled, once more barely brushing his lips with hers. "No interruptions while we sneak away."
"I thought you missed our three interruptions." He pressed her closer to his body.
"I do, horribly." She captured his bottom lip with her own causing him to suck in a surprised breath. "We will have to find a way to have both them and these rare moments alone."
"Agreed." His mouth slanted over hers, drawing a soft moan from her. "We'll have Rachel and Stephen over more often."
"Perfect." She stepped out of his arms.
He cocked an eyebrow at her when she held her hand out to him.
"Where are we going?" Thomas asked, allowing her to tug him further away from the party.
"Back to our bungalow." Amanda cast a coy glance towards him. "I have a very strong desire to be with my favorite actor from Top Gun"
"That better be me you're talking about." He yanked her back into his arms.
"As if there can be any doubt." She looped her arms around his neck. "You were the only one I visited the set for." Her eyes drifted down. "The one I found the most handsome in his uniforms." Her lips curved when she felt his body respond to her words. "The one I couldn't take my eyes off of whenever anyone else spoke."
"What about Tom?" He couldn't stop the question from tumbling out.
Her lifted back to his. "What do you mean?"
"He was playing your favorite character." He reminded her.
"So?"
Thomas grimaced somewhat. "Wasn't he able to steal your attention away from me?"
Amanda tilted her head in a manner that made him squirm as she silently studied him.
"Nevermi--" he started to say.
"Not once." She replied at the same time.
His eyes widened. "What did you say?"
"I said, not once." She returned to her former position of being close against him. "He doesn't even come close to holding my attention like you do."
"But you love Maverick." He reminded her
"True." She turned her head when she heard music begin playing. "Is that..."
Thomas felt his heart drop when he heard the familar song, Take My Breath Away, playing. He'd forgotten that his other costars were planning on using it to tease Tom. He could hear the laughter of the cast mixed with the melody.
Don't kiss me, he silently pleaded. Don't kiss me and think of Tom Cruise while you do it.
Amanda looked up at him with a playful, flirty smile.
"We should go." He mumbled as she inched closer.
"I'd rather have a kiss." She pressed her lips along his jaw. "Beau."
He stilled. "What did you call me?"
"Beau." She muttered between kisses along his neck. She leaned back to meet his shocked gaze. "Or would you rather I call you, Admiral, or your call sign, Cyclone?"
Thomas merely stuttered until her lips met his. He clutched her close when he realized what was happening.
The song, the very one her younger self used as daydream fuel of Tom Cruise while kissing, was now being used to think of his own character. Thomas didn't know he had anything left within him to fall more in love with his wife, but in this moment he could feel it happening.
He took over the kiss, determined to give her one that she would never forget. He tried to imagine how his character would react to having the woman he loved more than anything in his arms. Completely his. He used that inspiration to draw moans from her, glorying in taking her breath away.
How lucky could a man be to not only have his own dream girl to kiss in both real life and pretend?

hi Izzy I've listened to maybe three mcr songs in my life but I've been following the tour gossip through your posts because I am a noisy old lady leaning out of my window all day long to see the business of my neighbours in all but form and I mostly can figure out by context clues what is going on but I can't understand what happened now would you mind explaining? 👀
Well the whole tour has too much more even just the second part even just riot fest but you need to know this has been happening for months okay. Know this is a bit based on a months long thing.
Also I don't know how to put a read more. I'll Google it. Oops. It's gonna be a lot.
Okay so the festival they played yesterday (When We Were Young Festival) was a festival that both 1. Was announced in March when people were still not believing the tour would actually happen (it was scheduled for May 16th,but after 2 years of postponing no one was feeling it) (the new song hadn't been released yet) so people were skeptical about mcr in a festival 2. It was supposed to be a nostalgia festival seen by the band's they lined up. A nod to when we (the original fans of the bands in the 2000s-2010s) were young and listened to those bands. But it was like dashcon levels of sketchy from the start so no one believed this to be a good idea to be in. But since everyone was in the we'll never see mcr anyways/we'll only see them this tour but at what cost,people signed in back in march/April for a thing that would happen in October.
Okay time goes forward,foundations of decay is released,the tour happens and it's mind blowing and not like everything ever and it's not a nostalgia tour it's so much more it's very complex but know it's not about the old mcr it's not about being like remember in 2004 when we had this thing.
Okay October rolls around. The last shows roll around. Everyone is like mcr is back but not like they were before but a secret third thing. Then they have this festival they said they were going to do. The nostalgia festival. The one thing they're actively against. But they'll do it. People paid for that people are travelling for that they'll do it.
(Quick aside danger days as a whole is an album about being against the way capitalism comodifies self expression and the way you use art to rebel and all that stuff. If i may say its how people like harry styles are capitalizing on being gnc but in the most bland way possible. The song vampire money specially is about that.)
So it's exactly as much dashcon levels as it looked like. First day gets cancelled because of weather reasons (fair) but the organizers knew that a week beforehand and didn't say nish (not fair) and also how they contacted the bands to come/ told them they weren't gonna play is a whole shady ordeal.
Alright second day comes in. Bands play bands play. Bands like paramore and mcr were not very popular in the scene back when because it was a very misogynistic and homophobic and all that space to be in. So they fact they're headliners for a show that's about nostalgia when people actively hated them is funny already.
MCR comes in. They're in the three cheers for sweet revenge costumes,which is a very popular era for them,because it's when they started really getting the spotlight and also they had a documentary and all that. People know the three cheers fits. Even people who don't know mcr because this is not their show its a festival with many many bands for many many people some who might still be in the mcr known cringe band train. And they're used to play for people that hate them is like that post of the jester in a wall reaching for the angry dogs but laughing at them.
They have the old people makeup on. They move slowly. The clothes don't fit as well anymore. They play only the most hits after a tour marked by playing deep cuts and fan favorites and b sides. It's a mockery of nostalgia and only liking the old mcr for nostalgia sake. It's a here's what you wanted is this what you wanted???? Aren't you satisfied???? People leave halfway through the show. They throw vampire money bills during their closer song vampire money. The song about what they're trying to convey with this whole months long effort. And now kerrang a known rock magazine (their history with mcr is far too much and this post is already so long but know it's another layer) is putting out reviews doing and saying exactly what the band was mocking.
This is why this is all a hoot.

what if looney toons peter lorre met slappy
Oh that's easy! I'd simply pass way
Jk jk but ohhhh!! Finally! I can use my book of notes for this! Because as of late I've been blowing off energy writing about slappy and where specifically other peter lorre parodies in cartoons came from + roles he played that contributed most to the typical lorre caricature we have in mind that so often shows up in media. Also because slappy only has small cameos and stuff and this is how I get more content lol *snorts some slapcrack*
Tumblr media
Okay! But there is noticeable differences between the typical looney tunes lorre characters. There's 5 looney tunes shorts I've seen so far with some type of lorre character. Two with a mad scientist-esque character and one with a gangster, some with some dude Mr. Greenstreet (ha get it? Get it?) who's obsessed with new tastes (get this man some 🐔), and one where it's just himself along with other parodies of Hollywood stars. There's also his appearence in tinytoons where he was an evil train conductor named boxcars. There's more but that's all I've seen so far.
Though I think we'll stick with mad scientist lorre because he appeared twice in the original plus had a little comeback in the movie looney tunes back in action. Also they've got an official name! Dr. Lorre 👀
Tumblr media
I know for SURE they would've wanted experimented on my boy slappy. A talking fish? How could they resist? Maybe they'll finally find his wishbone?
Tumblr media
Of course they wouldn't be getting it easy. While I don't see slappy really fighting. He has his way of getting around (his mysterious transportation onto that stunt ride mobility scooter in Pat-a-thon or him just there watching pat through the window in lost in couch) he just shows up and disappears. Not to mention, in actual trouble. He can manage via unorthodox methods (stair wars) Ngl I wish I could settle all feuds like this lol
Tumblr media
Also slappy seems to have a very small (but very much there) awareness that he's a weirdo/people find him creepy. He doesn't seem to mind. But can also easily do what he can to make people further repulsed by him. (I assumed so from his first episode and lost in couch but now I am certain in the halloween special)
Tumblr media
Who would win? Will it be a battle to the death? Err no. The scientist ones has one detail that Slappy doesn't have. The thing about how a lot of peter lorre characters are depressed and tortured. Dealing with inner demons ans suffering from loneliness and thus are unable to control their actions. Which sounds dramatic but a staple trait to add to any of your Lorre inspired characters 👀 (like for an example, I just finished watching The Stranger On the Third Floor. Peter Lorre plays a criminal, in the final scene talking to a lady and said the only one who's ever been nice to him was a lady, and that he doesn't have any friends. He's clearly sad. But he's a killer who's been slashing people's throats. It should've been obvious. Still I think it was mcstinking cute!)
Tumblr media
Anyways they don't get why people turn away from them while doing horrible things that make people run away in fear.
Tumblr media
Which is something the looneytunes lorre characters have that slappy doesn't. Slappy is pretty happy go lucky. He's certainly weird but doesn't mind it at all. He enjoys things his own way and is friendly (to the best of his abilities) I mean look how Unbothered he is!!
Tumblr media
I can see slappy befriending the looneytunes lorre characters. He's the only one I can see that wouldn't judge them for their heinous actions and would probably be the most understanding. Eh, knowing them, they'd still probably try to steal his wishbone but it wouldn't bother him much.
Now I can really see them having almost like a group session where they're talking about their feelings and slappy is just there listening xD slappy is the least likeliest to make a therapist but also probably the best..?
Tumblr media
Why do I kinda feel like he'd find their heinous acts amusing? He loves a good failure after all. Probably listening to how they let people come to their untimely demise is to him like listening to how people failed to keep their lives? Perhaps for his own macarbe amusement? Or maybe it's just innocent curiousity? Or maybe he genuinely wants to help? Who knows.
Tumblr media
Thank you so so much for this ask! It was such a joy to answer! I really enjoyed it since I got to infodump about slappy/lorre!! Which is always such a treat. But fr I mean it! I'd ramble on and on if ya didn't stop me so it's nice to know someone enjoys listening about it!!☺💖💖

Rewatching Devils You Know
Tumblr media
Good morning, Mr. Hunter, and welcome to F.A.I.L.E.D. (Failed Attempts In Liquidate Evil Douchebag). You’re joining an elite unit comprised of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s best and brightest. Please collect your new badge and the orientation package at the reception desk. You may want to pay special attention to the leaflet titled “I Blew It: 10 Ways to Deal with the Aftermath of Botched Assassinations and Irate Co-Workers”. 
Counting S1, this makes it seven times Ward could have died at the hands of one of our agents but didn’t:
Skye let him live when Mike gave him a heart attack.(1x20)
May chose to stop at a broken larynx and nailed foot.(1x22)
Fitz didn’t complete the asphyxia demonstration.(2x03)
Skye shot him and left him to bleed out but Kara saved him.(2x10)
Jemma threw him a splinter bomb but Bakshi butted in.(2x19)
May was going to hunt him down but Bobbi’s extraction took priority (/nudge Hunter).(2x22)
And now Hunter failed, too, after a dangerous undercover mission specifically aimed to rid the world of Grant Ward and almost sacrificing Andrew’s life for it. Which is especially grating because if you must put someone else in danger for a shot at revenge, the least you can do is having the decency to not miss. 😁
Still, Hunter can count himself lucky: Andrew is alive, May saved his ass at least twice in that 2 vs 11 showdown and she won’t kill him once they’re back on the base.
As for Ward, his own luck won’t last forever. 😈 😈 😈
Tumblr media
Gonna Catch ‘Em All:
Shane and Lori Henson were a cute young couple that went through Terrigenis at Afterlife but never learned how to cook a chicken. And we will never learn what their powers actually did. He was floating and she was glowing red.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dwight Frye, “former programmer, serial online gamer and I.T. guy” was Lash’s...I.T. guy, helping him track the Afterlife Inhumans. His power must be one of the worst ever, identifying Inhumans by how sick proximity with them made him feel. With time he might have learned to control it so that it didn’t hurt him, just like Daisy and Lincoln have with theirs.
Tumblr media
Stuff that crossed my mind:
The world sees us as a threat. We need to stick together, those of us who’ve been here before the Outbreak. I object to this choice of word. You guys are not an epidemic. Inhumans sorely needed a brand manager and a P.R. firm. 😁
Daisy, wait! Daisy! Damn it. What? Are you implying she shouldn’t run without backup after a dangerous monster who shakes off bullets and is specifically targeting Inhumans? Mack, don’t be absurd.
What about Daisy and Mack? They could use backup out there. -- I know you really want to get back into action, Agent Morse, but the answer's no. You’re still rehabbing. You haven’t passed the physical. That’s because it’s the wrong kind of physical, duh. Just wait for May, she’ll fix it.
How did I let you talk me into this? I had a garage, workbench full of new tools, my own espresso machine... Espresso is overrated anyway. 👀
I was gonna say "make little baby sharks," but then "Jaws" was probably 20 years before you were born, so...do I sense a low-key, Gen X vs Millennial pop culture clash?
[Mack hesitating to move forward] Well, do you want me to take point? You know, maybe you should. You’re the one with superpowers and you do make a smaller target...
Blue, not clear [the plastic bag for samples]. -- What? -- I said “blue”. Not “clear”. How many times am I...Okay, look, Simmons and I have created a system. “B” is for “blue” is for “biological sample”. -- Right, another system. And what’s the clear bag for? 🤔 Hang in there, Bob, this out of action torture is almost at an end.
[Simmons] open up to you at all about what happened to her? -- Not really. Why? Did she say something to you? -- No. Why don’t I believe you?
Stand down! Everybody, stand down! S.H.I.E.L.D.’s not the enemy, and you definitely don’t want to piss off the young Agent Johnson here. We’ve got about 19 Agent Johnsons on our side, though none can take down a building. And how do you know she can take down a building? Coulson? How much intel did you share with Rosalind? Maybe too much, eh? 😒
Are you gonna help or not? -- I like it when you get all tough. Is she flirting? What level does this warrant on the Philinda alert state, defcon 4?
New recruit brought you these [weapons]? -- Yeah. Same bloke who brought these took out Spud last week. He’s a tough bastard. You’re not exactly a softie yourself, Kebo. Didn’t Von Strucker Jr. hit you several times in the face with a laptop just 2 weeks ago? And here you stand, as despicable as ever.
So, what's the job? - Don't know. -- When's it going down? -- Don't know. -- Any idea where? -- Not yet. -- You do realize the point of intelligence gathering is to gather intelligence? 🤣 🤣 🤣
What if there are innocent lives at risk? -- There's always lives at risk! [...] If I have a shot at finding him, I'm taking it. -- Look, I want Ward as bad as you do. But I don’t think his life is worth yours or Bobbi’s. Which she proved in 2x22. Sadly, Hunter doesn’t feel the same way (other than in Bobbi’s case, obviously).
It’s okay to struggle, to feel uncomfortable in your own skin. -- I’m not one of your Inhuman patients, Dr. Garner. Funny you’d say that.
You’re safe now, Jemma. It’s over. -- You’re wrong. *dun dun dun*
And how many more like her are you hiding? -- That's not what we're doing. -- These people have problems! I'm not just gonna turn a blind eye and rubber-stamp them for your new team. Would this qualify as lashing out? 😏
What happened with you two? -- The reason Andrew left me had nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. It's about me. Always has been. -- You're too hard on yourself. QFT.
I had a great time. -- So did I, until you fell off the face of the Earth. No calls, no texts. -- That had nothing to do with you. -- Please, don't give me the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Well, but it is him and not you. 😢
How did the ATCU not track him? He's one of their own. He's a government employee. -- You think the ATCU knew about him? -- Worse. What if they're running him? -- I think the conspiracy nut in you had a few too many lattes this morning.  🤣 Like probably every morning, doesn’t mean she’s wrong, being suspicious of the ATCU.
There's that first-name thing again...it's a dead giveaway. I mean, don't feel bad. She's sharp, attractive, head of a big, shady organization. -- I don’t like where this is going. -- You think I do? I would have pegged you for a Meldrew shipper more than Philinda at this stage, Daisy. Though I suppose the part where Rosalind is heading the shady organization tasked to “deal” with the “alien outbreak” can’t exactly endear her to you.
Be careful. It’s got a laser finger. Yes, Rosalind, he’s a dork. That’s why we love him.
You guys don't get it. You should be helping him, not hunting him. [...] Do you think he likes doing what he's doing? He doesn't. Ever since I turned, I feel like my skin is on fire and there's a jackhammer in my head. I wake up thinking that the pain will go away but it doesn't. The only thing that helps is when Lash does his thing, sends us freaks back to where we belong. I didn't want this. And I know I'm not the only one. Daisy must be loving it, hearing all this. 😥
Do you really have a laser finger? -- Sorry. It’s classified. And now he‘s flirting? Defcon 3?
He's driving me nuts, you know? The other day, he snapped at me just because I put a bio sample into a clear specimen bag. -- Clear? Well, "B" is for "blue" is for "biological”. You’re not winning this one, Bobbi.
Oh, I ain’t getting in the bloody boot! It stinks of rotten bananas in there. [...] Always in the bloody boot. Given it’s Kebo’s or Hydra’s car, I’m now (uncomfortably) wondering whether dead humans smell like rotten bananas. And Hunter has of course already had the pleasure of riding into a car boot way back in 2x02, courtesy of a pair of Talbot’s underlings.
I feel like we're driving in circles. -- I bet we are. Probably buying time for Mr.Banks [...] -- so he could get rid of anything "Roz" doesn't want us to see. -- Yeah, that, or he's prepping a cell for you. -- It's his funeral. Scoffing in the face of detainment (or worse). I can see why Mack misses his espresso machine.
You got a concussion, separated your shoulder. So of course he gets up and takes off his sling. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, I swear 🙄 🤣 
What’s up, D.? Second time in the episode Mack called her “D”. For the record and because I have a tiny tiny hope that a certain episode title for S7 refers to them, though I’ll probably be disappointed as usual. 😔 
I saw something. And I'm not sure, but I don't think Lash is just some great white shark. I think he can turn into a person. -- Wait a minute. You’re telling me that you saw him transform into a regular guy? I know this is important, too, but isn’t it even more curious that he didn’t even attempt to kill Daisy, Mack? Mull it over. And file it away for future reference.
May and Hunter have a lead on Ward. Sounds like a dodgy situation...Wait. They didn't tell you? I'm sorry. It's tough when people keep things from you. Reminder that Fitz wasn’t told the real reason Jemma left nor that Ward was in the basement.
I was hoping you were dead and Bobbi was coming for me. At least that rematch would have been more even. -- Hardly. I heard it took two of you after hours of torture. Indeed. Under normal circumstances, Bobbi would wipe the floor with anyone who doesn’t have combat-worthy superpowers or is not named May.
How many did you count? -- Eleven, including Ward. I’ve taken out five. -- Slow day? I’ll say, she didn’t even reach 50 %. 😁
Watching [Andrew] die like this isn't quite the same as, oh, let's say, holding the woman you love in your arms while she breathes her last breath. But, hey, it's the best I could do on such short notice. Don’t be modest, it’s a good plan. Please die soon. *counts the episodes he has left*. Right. Not soon enough.😩
He has a warehouse full of guns here that I brought him. A lot of people will die, May. Nice try, but nobody buys that you’re thinking of the “greater good” in this moment, Hunter.
Something happened to me, Fitz, on the other side. It's time I told you the truth about everything. Time to enable the blue light filter! 😁

alphabet squadron thoughts
so it’s been a few days since alphabet squadron came out. like 4 days. and i read it the day it came out so i’ve had a little time to forget all the stuff i don’t really care about! so this post is about the stuff that i DO care about. also since i’m on mobile i can’t do a read more thingy so just like ignore this post if you’re reading the book and don’t want spoilers (or if you just. don’t care)
anyways here are the spoilers aka My Thoughts:
alphabet squadron
yrica quell
so this is like??? i guess the main protagonist if there’s a main protagonist?? she’s alphabet leader and flies the x-wing so i SHOULD like her but i don’t really
she’s an imperial defector from the 181st 204th imperial fighter wing aka shadow wing and they’re like the best of the best except they used to not really be except then they got a new leader who trained them good and they became the best
except she was lying about how she defected and im still a little confused about that but i definitely like the actual story better than the lie (but not because of yrica)
anyways she just wants to fly stuff and she has an interesting character i guess but... just don’t care i guess.
nath tensent
is a BASTARD
he’s the y-wing dude so i go in there disliking him and then he just lies and is selfish and is not a great dude
he killed the shadow wing leader tho which is good
but then he betrayed quell (for money) which is not good
earlier in the book also he tried to KILL quell
i like quell better than him!!!
also he’s tragic because his entire squadron died awhile ago but that happened to all of them actually so whatever nath ur not special
kairos
she’s a mystery!! she’s cool!!
buuuuuuuut i don’t really care deeply about the mystery behind her
i do like her though. she isn’t my favorite but she is an interesting character who basically looks like a mummy with a helmet (??) BUT she smells good apparently
she flies the u-wing which isn’t really a ship I care about?? but they are important because they carry people i guess??? better than a y-wing.
one time she turned off the copilot station when quell asked to fly and that was really funny
she tried to kill quell also
chass na chadic
chass!! was very good!!! until part three!!!
she’s an ALIEN and she has GREEN HAIR and she listens to SPACE MUSIC and she likes JYN ERSO
except in part three she wanted to just fight people instead of saving lives sooooooo i didn’t like that really
but also she has a personality that i like
she flies the b-wing which is better than the y-wing and that’s cool
her entire squadron ALSO died and she would’ve gone with them if it wasn’t for...
wyl lark
my FAVE
he’s a really good boy and i love him a ton
he’s so NICE and SWEET
and he flies the a-wing and i love a-wing pilots
he’s very good at piloting also and unlike chass in the big battle he tried to s a v e people
other good guys
it-o
THERAPY DROID!!! TORTURE DROID!!! G O O D DROID!!!!!
i didn’t particularly care for them while reading but after a few days im now in LOVE
actually one of my favorite characters really
caern adan
hes the same species as deathsticks guy 👀
also he’s!!! the intelligence liaison!!!!! so that’s cool!!!!!!
buuuuuut i don’t like him
he paid off nath to get info on quell which made me MAD
but he’s interesting!! so that’s... nice? i guess?
hera syndulla
she’s good
but i didn’t appreciate her appearance in the book as much as i could’ve because i haven’t seen rebels
so i don’t really have an opinion
quell’s droid. d6? maybe?
VERY GOOD DROID!!
was not made for this but DOING IT ANYWAY
tried to resign from the squadron to protect quell which was SO SWEET and i love this droid.
nath’s droid... t5?
i do NOT know these astromechs’ names.
kinda annoying but i love them
and also the scenes with both astromechs hanging out with wyl are SO SWEET
bad guys
“grandmother” whose real name i forget
honestly there’s not much to her character except she’s a tired old lady doing what she feels she has to do?
she calls the rebels separatists which. is sad honestly. because like the separatists were actually bad and the rebels are actually good and im not getting into that here because i have too much to say
there’s not really any more bad guys??? i mean there’s all of shadow wing but they’re not really CHARACTERS
except blink. blink was mean to wyl. i do not like blink.
so uh. random thoughts
when i first met the 204th imperial fighter wing aka shadow wing i thought “oh so this is the new 181st?” and when i first met keize i thought “oh so he’s the new soontir fel?” and... i wasn’t really proven wrong
the part with the jedi temple was pretty cool! there were all these fake stars and stuff and i really liked that because it was cool.
i REALLY LIKED quell’s real backstory because like the whole book i was actually interested in what the truth was & then it was revealed which was nice. though im actually still confused about what she said originally vs what she actually did and the only difference i actually figured out was that keize lived? which im here for
& continuing off that i was really confused about all the devon stuff because there was one chapter at the end of each section that had him in it and i was really confused by it??? because he seemed like just one random unimportant guy floating around and being pretty good but also unremarkable (and occasionally killing people, as you do in space) and then at the very end it was VERY GOOD and im mad i didn’t figure out who he was sooner but i did actually like him better than. nath and. actually just nath. but i think in book two im definitely gonna get waaaaay too attached to him because he’s basically like soontir fel 2.0 and im. very much liking that.
& continuing THAT in a new paragraph, i find myself thinking a very clear distinction between devon and keize, even though they’re the same person. like that was intended because devon is only shown as devon until the very last page but he’s doing all this stuff to help people like teaching them how to fight and convincing someone not to make a bomb. whereas keize is like. the best imperial pilot to ever pilot for the empire or whatever. and sure keize is supposedly honorable and a hero but those things were said by quell who’s like. an imperial apologist. which isn’t the best thing to be. but also like, i actually do like keize so like, whatever.
in conclusion, this has been a post.
