#decade wrap up

[dykealloy]

what do you mean jennifer saunder's shrek 2 cover of Holding Out for a Hero didn't play over the entirety of dressrosa arc

#happy new year. it's been about a decade since dressrosa arc first aired #i thought i was well and truly done with that last edit but this struck me like a bolt of lightning #one last go at it to wrap up the year #also. to be fair to doflamingo: how the fuck do you predict or prepare for this shit #(small aside: dressrosa arc is so badly paced you would not believe how many eps i had to download to pull four minutes together) #one piece #op #CJ's op watch-through #CJ's edits #dressrosa #trafalgar law #donquixote doflamingo #amv #monkey d. luffy #monkey d luffy #lawlu #roronoa zoro #zoro #donquixote rosinante #lulaw

hc that post-robw roy actually asks dick out on a proper date without the world ending but then they get caught up in a z-list villain hostage situation and heckle him from their table until someone (probably mia or grace) shows up and saves them. 10/10 profound gay humiliation

#villain: at last! my evil plan a decade in the making has been realised!! i will destroy— #roy vc hey pal can we wrap it up ive only got the sitter until 10 #this is my vision. #dickroy #dc comics #spokes

he sat there on the ground and cried. for cas. cas told him he loved him was taken away and he buried his head in his hands and wept

#AND THEN THEY TRIED TO PRETEND LIKE IT WAS FINE? and after the widower arc #it wasn’t even as nearly fucked then this time all their friends got thanos snapped and we don’t even get canon confirmation that they were #brought back. even with covid not even a vo or offhand mention or reference #jack is god and in every drop of rain or whatever. #sure yeah whatever they beat the final boss and got over the protagonist angst of it all but the world was still the same it just wasn’t a #chuck story which only ramped up to being The Big Problem in the season 14 finale. #cas was stabbed by an angel blade and dean broke while wrapping his body for the funeral pyre. ALONE. and was. not doing well #and you tell me it’s whatever after he sat there in that dungeon refused to answer sam’s calls and cried during the complete and total end #of the world. that he just bounced back from that and died and drove around heaven for decades in a few minutes and smiled while americana #electric guitar played on some bridge #cas helped oh that’s nice I guess smile now I have GOT to go drive my car around. because I did not get enough of that in my time on earth. #unlike my time with cas which I am satisfied with and in no need of closure. perhaps a conversation. looking upon him to see him alive and #well. healing some of that trauma of the last time I saw him. a reunion hug maybe even which has become tradition. CUT THE CAMERAS deadass #he’s going for the face touch. no this we cannot possibly have time for we have to play carry on wayward son twice #sorry. it has been three years. sorry. it’s just so funny buddy your ass did NOT escape the hamster wheel

But honestly. Why would Nomura choose to start the paopu sharing scene with Sora focused on Riku. Why would Nomura choose to have Sora frowning and reluctant to share paopu with Kairi until Kairi clarifies it doesn’t mean they’re a couple. Why would Nomura not tell the voice actors this scene is romantic if it’s meant to be romantic. Why would Nomura consider not having Sora and Kairi share paopu at all. Why would Nomura choose to have Sora start questioning what romantic love and true love are in KH3. Why would Nomura have Sora notice the parallels between himself & Riku and Anna & Elsa just to begin wondering what he and Riku are (according to the novel, Sora doesn’t feel like ‘siblings’ is the right answer). Why would Nomura directly parallel Riku’s feelings for Sora with Hercules’ romantic feelings for Megara. Why would Nomura choose to not show Sora acting ‘romantic’ (in the eyes of the general audience) with Kairi until after Sora forgets Riku’s true love sacrifice (and arguably other things about Riku) and associates Kairi with his savior — a situation that parallels another romantic Disney tale, The Little Mermaid, and is not unlike Sora associating Namine (and then Kairi) with the person most precious to him in CoM when it’s actually Riku that Namine has replaced in Sora’s most precious memory, the meteor shower promise… another memory that Sora may have forgotten. Why would Nomura choose to show Riku’s true love sacrifice multiple times, emphasizing how important it is, if that moment/memory is not going to be vital later. Why would Nomura choose to visually parallel Riku’s true love sacrifice with the meteor shower promise. Why would Nomura specifically shut down the possibility of Riku/Namine when he’s usually pretty indifferent to shipping. Why would Nomura choose to not have Kairi’s memories hold an important connection to Sora beyond the knowledge that unreality exists, and then in the same breath, give Riku an important, personal connection to Sora through his dreams. Why would Nomura choose to make Riku the only one who can go after Sora, who has the power to save him? Why would Nomura choose to parallel Riku with Cinderella and Aurora whose “dreams lead her to her true love”? Why would Nomura do any of this if Sora/Riku’s not happening.

#me: do NOT get your hopes up #also me: #kingdom hearts #soriku #i hope that dudebro from 9 years ago who said nomura’s waiting for homosexuality to be more accepted/mainstream before confirming sora’s #into men knows they’re a prophet that was living a decade ahead of everyone else #probably getting too deep but it IS interesting that the little mermaid — the original and disney version — were heavily influenced by #gay men struggling with their sexualities #the disney version has a significantly happier ending bc howard ashman #believed in a happy ending for him and people like him #if they ever do a modern remake it should and would most accurately be a love story between two boys #or girls #anyway. i think it’s also significant that nomura has said the characters like aqua or axel are not getting a ton of focus in kh4 #and kairi is with these ‘unrelevant’ characters #like not only is she staying behind she’s probably going to be part of the side character b-team that comes in to fight in the bigger #battles later #i hate the way she’s treated in these games but nomura’s making it p clear this way that this isn’t about kairi #this is about sora and riku and possibly probably concluding their stories #since arguably kairi’s story irt sora has mostly wrapped up. that’s probably why nomura chose to have them share paopu #so that nobody would be left wondering if/when it’s going to happen #i didn’t forget nomura paralleling riku & sora with yozora & nameless star #it’s just unclear right now what yozora and nameless star’s relationship is #it leans towards romantic but I’d rather wait for confirmation

It's gonna be 10 years this August since I posted the first chapter of The Bureau Files. Oh, little me, I had no idea how much time/words I was gonna sink into this monster

#that cat spoke #on the one hand: wow its been a decade #on the other: how the heck has it been a decade #i kinda want to celebrate but have my hands full with an original story atm #i remember being SO nervous when i first posted it #i'm so glad i got far enough to wrap up the main arc before needing to take a break with writing longfic

bro why are my parents starting a marriage process after over 30 years of being together

#for reference my dad's turning 70 this year. he proposed to her on his 60th birthday #now she's 60 so they wanna get this wrapped up before she turns 61. for the poetic beauty of it or smth #they are so funny for this. this feels like a decade-long bit

Never watched Legend of Korra before aside from the very first episode of season 1 a few years back.

Kinda wanna start it tbh, but I'm so apprehensive lmao

I'd probably love and hate things about it in equal measure, there wouldn't be any middle ground whatsoever

#legend of korra #atla #and i so desperately hate getting wrapped up in things i might dislike #not because i wanna emanate ~positive vibes~ or something #but because i probs wouldn't offer any good critical discussion for a show that's like a decade old now lol #but also i know that it gets sapphic at the end and there's at least 2 hot DILFs for me to thirst over in the mean time #and i love gay people!!!

I just want BDE to hold me; cradle me in his lap like a baby while he reads to me as I lay my head on his chest. Is that too much to ask for?

nonnie.. NONNIE.!! i wish you could hear the wistful sigh i let out reading this. i'm kicking my heels and twirling my hair about Big Daddy every chance i get 💌

just wanna curl up with him anywhere - in bed, on the couch, in the backseat of the car - wherever he is, wherever he's already comfortable, that's exactly where i wanna be.. 💓

[also i was just rambling i didn't mean for this to turn into any aCTUAL writing but.. uH 👉👈 yah sure whatever it's a blurb now ig]

wanna sneak up and slip into his lap while he's got that pretty nose of his buried in a book, disrupting his focus for only a second as he holds his book away to make room for you while you get comfy. his arms wrap securely around you once he's sure you're done moving, holding you tight, keeping your bodies flush as he reopens the paperback in his hand.

what follows is a kiss on the cheek and a murmur of sorry, didn't mean to bother you, just wanted to sit with you a little. go back to your book, and he hums a little absentmindedly in response as he keeps reading. you're pressed so close you can feel the rumble of it deep in his chest.

you busy yourself with nothing in particular, playing with the tuck in his shirt sleeve or the fringe on his jacket, occasionally running your fingers over some of your favorite parts of him: the plush swell of his belly or thighs, warm and strong underneath you; the soft slope of his shoulders, the curve of his neck, sometimes even reaching up to trace the ridge of his brow or the line of his nose. never for an extended period, just long enough for him to register and relish in the gentle touch. you wouldn't think he even noticed, too absorbed in his reading, except for how he squeezes your waist every time.

eventually, you sigh and wriggle in his arms, and he immediately drops them and clears his throat, faking that he's unaffected at the thought of you getting bored and leaving... but you're just sitting up a little higher in his lap to adjust your reach. you pout a little in discontent at the loss of his sturdy closeness so tight around you and pull his arms back where you want them. the barest hint of a smile on his face is given away only by the slight blush that colors his cheeks as he chides himself for bein' foolish, but it immediately widens to a cheshire grin as you begin running your fingers softly through his hair instead.

you don't know how much time passes like that, both of you content just to soak in the others' presence, before he speaks. wan' me to read out loud to ya, baby? his voice is quiet and sweet - not shy, per se, but like he's savoring the moment, like he worries you might get up anytime now and he wants to appreciate you here, snug and lovely in his arms, while he's still got it. you just nod in response, knowing he can feel it. he nods once, too, throat working as you watch his pillowy lips begin to form the words.

he thinks he's being surreptitious, but you're not so distracted that you don't notice how he flipped back to the very beginning of the book - a ploy to spend more time with you, but you don't mind one little bit. you hide your answering grin in his shoulder, sealed w a kiss pressed there, into the warmth of his body underneath the silky fabric of his shirt.

his voice is a little hoarse, at first, from slight disuse, but the longer he reads, the smoother it gets, the rich ebb and flow characteristic of his extensive vocal range becoming apparent. his cadence is lilting and musical in and of itself, so much so that you almost aren't listening to the words in favor of focusing on the sound.

the more he reads, the more comfortable you get, your fingers moving down to twirl in the fluffy curls at the nape of his neck as you rest your head on his shoulder. soon you find yourself sliding back down into his lap even further, to settle more firmly against the breadth of his chest. you can feel more so than hear the steady thump-thump of his heartbeat under your cheek. you've never felt so safe and loved as you do right here with him, and you know he knows it.

before long, lulled by that feeling, you find your blinks growing slower and your head growing heavier. you lost the plot of the book long ago, too distracted by his delicious closeness to keep track of the host of details, but now even the white noise of his voice is blurring in your ears as you drowse in his arms. not gonna fall asleep on me, are ya, little? he chuckles, his fond amusement audible. you grin a little but don't open your eyes, playfully slapping his shoulder as you settle more firmly against him. that, mr. presley, is for me to know and you to find out. now keep reading!

anythin' you say, honey.

ok but how is david in californication? bc i only know him through fox mulder and cannot take him seriously anywhere else

don't make me do it!! don't make me sing praises when y'all know i do not like this man!!!!! okay seriously though just between us gals, he's so good. he carries that part. it's not comparable to mulder, in my opinion, at all. it's like...a completely different pathos and look and even voice (no monotone). i think (actually i know from reading his press) that for as much as he loved/appreciated that character and show, and as exceptional as he was on it, there were things that david didn't enjoy about playing mulder. and i think hank really allowed him to come into himself and more of what interests him, and it shows! i'm not even being flippant or making a crack about the subject matter or anything like that, i genuinely enjoy watching the work that he does with a character that seemingly should be very simple. also read my press babes

#i just think about like. him complaining about mulder always losing fights. and how they wrapped up the samantha arc bc #david was sick of always being the guy crying over his sister or whatever #he'd played mulder for 15 years at that point and i think hank is a totally different kind of beast that he's able to bring a lot to #it's been said for over a decade that nothing about that character or show would've worked without DD and it is actually true. tragic #i also think there are points in txf where you can tell that he just was bored. and i haven't seen that yet with californication #californication

Most of (but not all--my Little Mermaid mouse and mousepad, for example, aren't pictured) of my Little Mermaid collection circa 2004 on a sheep skin rug.

#my first special interest #The Little Mermaid 1989 #The Little Mermaid #Ariel #and then mama and my sister ended up using things from my collection and giving the school supplies in the little bag #so much of my collection has been lost or destroyed yay..... I only want to collect not use stop that ;___; #all that's left are those cheap Simba dolls (I also have another cheap doll with Eric and... I think the twins from the series???) #the collector's edition doll on the right was ordered online by my mother but I dismantled it due to suspicion of sihr #.......... so basically all I have left are the cheaper dolls and they uh #lost hair due to the heat ruining the plastic #stares at ceiling #... I have some newer TLM stuff though!!! like books ;3; #it IS funny though that the only doll I took out of the box and played with (and ruined the hair of) was the collector's edition one #expensive tastes from childhood #even now cheaper plushies and toys I won't get attached to or want much BUT #the rarer/fancier/well-made ones now THESE I want to play with #my poor Deerling that's over a decade old getting a little bit roughed up because I want to take it places and take pictures of it #I keep it wrapped up and cushioned now if I want to carry it in a bag! #dolls
