vampire steddie fighting over eating you out on your period will never leave my brain emmy. pls send help 😵‍💫🫠

SHUT UPPP MAR MAR U R A GENIUS AND IT'S NOT LEAVING MY BRAIN NOW EITHER. this is not proof-read and I ACTUALLY HATE HOWIT TURNEDOUT . goodbye. i am officially ashamed of how horny i am. so hopefully yall enjoy this.

warnings: 18+, MINORS DNI, SMUT, or*l (f!receiving), mmf threesome, blood, blood-sucking, period, vampire!steddie, nicknames (bunny, angel, etc.), praising. idk what the f took over me.

"W-what are you doing?" You whined, eagerness overtaking you as both of them tugged at your panties.

"Do you trust us, angel?" Steve asked, eyes all dark but pleading, and you were quick to nod.

"We're gonna take all of your cramps away, and make you feel s'so good." You look at both of them hesitantly, almost ashamed.

"B-but, a-are you sure?" Both of them almost scoffed at your response, they've been dying to eat you out during your period, and as soon as they learned it could help with your cramps, they knew they couldn't let their little bunny be in any more pain.

"We're more than sure, honey."

"And after, we're done, you'll be begging us to worship you around this time, angel," Eddie added with a devilish smirk.

You nodded, still hesitant, heat growing in your cheeks, and both of them were quick to cup your cheeks, comforting you. "No need to be ashamed, bunny, we're gonna clean you right up," Eddie growled with a smirk, "lay down and spread your legs for us, sweetheart," Steve added eagerly.

They were kneeled down to each other, eager, and greedy, both of them fighting off each other almost, making your eyes roll to the back of your head just with their touch.

"You smell so fuckin' good, princess," Eddie hummed, tongue practically waiting to lap up at your juices, while Steve tried to push him away like a child, "will you fuckin' move?" Steve growled over the metalhead, making you huff at them.

They always talked about how good it fucking feel to taste you, to taste your blood, but now that they were actually doing it, eagerness overtook them, making them fight like idiots over who got to taste you first.

"Nuh-uh, Steve, I'm going to eat her out first-" Steve scoffed, quickly interrupting the metalhead, "not if I get to her first-"

"You fuckin' promised that I'd get to taste her first-"

You pushed your legs closed with a huff, earning a dark gaze from both of the boys as they groaned, "If you two aren't going to behave, then I don't think we should-" Your rant was cut off quickly by both of their growls.

"No!" They said in unison, almost begging, pleading, the urge within them needed this, needed you.

"P-please, sweetheart, please," The boy begged, "let us suck you off, baby, we'll make you feel s'good," Eddie pleaded, eyes so desperate and their hands hot as they attempted to spread open your thighs apart again, that you couldn't even protest, a simple nod is all it took for them to dove right into your core.

Eddie's thick ringed fingers plunged into you without warning, making you arch your back as he twisted and twirled it inside of you, the coolness, added to how fucking well he knew how to use those goddamned fingers made you mewl loudly for them, flutters in your stomach grew, and heat appeared in your cheeks.

It made you feel so fucking ashamed, but the praises and the growls that left their lips downturned it, almost making you feel proud. "Doin' so good for us, princess, let us take care of you," Eddie hummed, retracting his fingers, all bloody as he lifted them up to Steve's lips, his eyes lit up, lustful and dark, unashamedly sucking off your blood off of Eddie's fingers, both of the boys groaning at you.

"Tastes fuckin' amazing, Eddie," The boy groaned, licking the residue of blood off of his cold lips, and Eddie didn't hesitate to run his tongue between your folds now, lapping up at it with kitten licks, Steve almost looked at you for reassurance, and if you weren't too fucked out you might've given him a full answer, but all you could do was nod, needing both of them to suck you dry.

He settled in on the other side pushing away Eddie's head slightly to dive into the sides of your pussy that were left unattended, sucking greedily and eagerly, none of them wanted to even let a single drop go to waste.

"You taste like heaven, bunny," Eddie groaned, humming between your walls, making you arch against both of the boy's tongues, as you struggled to hold onto both of their hair, their tongues working like magic while all you could do was cry out.

Eddie's ringed fingers dove inside of you, both of their tongues still all over your clit and your puffy lips, while Steve's padded thumb circled around your clit, it didn't take them long enough to suck you dry, and even quicker for you to cum around their tongues without a warning, thighs shuddering uncontrollably and a high-pitched moan leaving your plushy lips.

Steve and Eddie followed you not long behind, both of them creaming their pants just at the feeling of you convulsing around their tongue, all three of you left a heaving mess.

But the boys weren't done, no, not yet.

"Let us worship you, bunny," They growled, on their knees, eager to fuck both of your holes, until you were stuffed full of them.

Ribbons In Your Hair by Kikiberoski16 and erstequeen

@larrysballetslippers

Harry/Louis | 8.1k | Girl Direction | High school cheerleaders

“Oh, come on, ask her out already! You two are, like, the dream couple and she’s been flirting with you for months now, take a hint, Haz!” “You’re the only one who thinks that, Niall, and while I appreciate your support or whatever it is, I still think you’re wrong. She has not been flirting with me and if she liked me she would have said something. I don’t even know if she’s gay, she only ever hangs with the basketball crew.” Harry was getting stressed out again only thinking about this. When she finished her little rant and Niall didn’t say anything she dragged her eyes away from Louis putting away books in her locker and looked at her friend instead. She was met with a sympathetic expression. “Girl you are so blind I am surprised you can still walk straight.” Or, Harry is a high-school cheerleader and obsessed with the most beautiful girl in her grade who is obviously totally straight. Of course.

Lacy by Olivia Rodrigo. This fic is part of the @1dsongfest. Thank you Emmy for reading over the fic!

summary: in which you and jungkook get your hands full . . . literally.

> fluff, suggestive / wc: 3.2k

> warnings: making out, lmk if there’s something i missed!

note: my mind has been blank for the past week then i just wrote this in one go 👩🏻‍💻 inspired by the babysitting ideas y’all sent but in art fashion. also a furry character from this drabble makes an appearance, and there are references from this drabble at the last part!

—

“please don’t tell me that’s what i think it is.” you gulp nervously, pupils shaking at the sight of a baby blue blanket bundled up in jungkook’s arms and a we bare bears themed bag hanging on his shoulder.

he gets caught off-guard, mouth hanging open as he looks at you and the peaceful thing sleeping in his arms back and forth. shit, he practiced how to explain this in the car ride back home. how does it go again?

“it’s a baby girl.” he replies innocently, pausing infront of you to show the face of the baby.

her chest rises and falls rhythmically, her beautifully thick eyelashes kissing her full rosy cheeks. what a breathtaking creation of passion she is. however, also the last thing you would expect your boyfriend to bring home at ten in the morning after spending an hour in the gym.

“you didn’t get another girl pregnant one drunken night, did you? and surely, you’re not expecting me to stand in as her mother? because i’m not a saint. i’m moving out of this place right now and taking bam with me, i swear to go-”

jungkook chokes on his own spit. he hurriedly brings back the baby in her pink stroller before he turns to face you again, releasing the coughs itching his throat.

“b-baby, no, no. it’s n-nothing like that- fuck!” he dramatically pounds at the left side of his chest as he continues to clear his throat, and you grimace at his loud thundering. you tilt your head to the side to look at the baby, surprised to see her still sleeping soundly despite your boyfriend’s ungraceful fits of coughing brought upon by his own bodily fluid. well, you’re sure that she’s breathing.

once he settes down, he releases an exhausted puff of air, hands gesturing wildly in the air. “i have never- i would never! get another girl pregnant! and me- i never even let myself drink so much to be obliterated. there’s no reason for me to.”

many years into your relationship, and you have never seen his doe eyes look this big and panicked. the perfect image of a deer caught in the headlights. your forehead remains creased for faux bewilderment as he defends himself rather in distress, speaking so fast he catches himself tripping over his own words because of his lisp. “i’d never make that mistake. i won’t be able to live with myself- seriously, baby, just the thought of it makes my skin crawl! you see, the baby, she’s rea-”

“alright, okay- calm down. take a breather.” you grab his wrists with each hand with a chuckle, forcing them to settle down on the curves of your waist before he hurts himself. you think back to the night he was intensely ranting about a friend accidentally deleting a music file on his computer, and how he came home from the restaurant with two of his fingers wrapped in yellow plaid band-aids because he scraped them on the edge of the table.

he frowns at you deeply, tense shoulders sagging. “nari is my trainer’s baby. he’ll pick her up here by 9pm.”

he squeezes at your sides, pulling you in by wrapping resting his palms on your lower back. “you’re so mean, you know that? you’ll win oscars and emmys. please audition to dramas.”

“yah!” you lightly hit his arm with a closed fist. “i wasn’t completely joking though. it could be true. life’s possibilities are endless.”

“no, it couldn’t!” he whines with a sad pout. “i’d never do that to you. i love you.”

you smile guiltily, not expecting him to get this invested in your made-up storyline. just the thought of it makes my skin crawl, he is the one. you press a kiss on his lips, only touching for a few seconds before you pull back.

you hold his cheek on your palm, thumb gently stroking his skin. “i know you won’t. i trust you, baby. i love you, too.”

the bunny smile he flashes you doesn’t last that long.

“but we have a problem.” you nod your head repeatedly with a defeated look on your face. “do you know what day it is?”

“uhm- saturday, right?”

“right . . .” you confirm, hand dropping to his shoulder to knead at his muscles. “and you remember what we do every saturday?”

“oh shit-”

you turn to greet the new arrivals, having finished their breakfast in the kitchen. “hi bam! hi fluffy!”

the doberman and golden retriever crowd the space of the doorway. fluffy stands up by using you as a support, nuzzling his face against your waist as you scratch his head. bam, on the other hand, is trying to sniff nari who is protectively held by jungkook. the two dogs are trained, and they often go out to parks and malls so they are used to being around people or animals they don’t know. bam, in particular, has always found babies fascinating.

“they are very excited for their walk at the park. which we do with them, every saturday. remember?”

fluffy is the dog of your friend. she drops him off almost every saturday because she’s too busy with her job to spend time and let him breathe in some fresh air. you and jungkook don’t mind this at all since you take bam on a walk as well, and it’s nice for him to have a friend.

the realization dawns on his face, clear as day. “ahhh- ah! that’s right, that’s right. we do that. shit- how can i forget? why did i bring a baby?” a shy smile forms on his lips now that he finally sees where you’re coming from.

you bury your face in your hands, body vibrating as you laugh at how ridiculous your boyfriend is being.

“what are we gonna do?”

“you’re the one who agreed to babysit! why are you asking me?!”

—

on normal saturdays, you’re holding hands with jungkook as a leash is securely gripped by your free hands. casually strolling through the park as the sun shines just bright enough that it kisses your skin softly, painting it with the glorious shade of daylight. bam purposely steps on fallen leaves to hear the crunch that tickles his ears like a feather. fluffy, the ever jolly fried chicken colored thing, gleefully walks with shaking pupils- towards the birds skipping on the ground, almost as if he wants to pounce them and it’s taking every ounce of self-control in his body not to, because they’re just so darn entertaining to watch.

this saturday, however, you’re neither holding jungkook’s big and protective hand, nor fluffy’s pink leash. instead, you’re carefully pushing a baby stroller to avoid any bumps on the ground, with a bag of milk, wipes, diaper, and toys hanging on your shoulder. meanwhile, jungkook is a few steps ahead of you, helplessly being tugged towards opposite directions by two big dogs.

turns out that nari likes going on walks as well. she started crying earlier when she woke up in jungkook’s arms, but she calmed down when you wheeled her in the bedroom to feed her the breast milk his father packed, along with a note of reminders and instructions. you brought one bottle and left behind the rest inside the fridge.

your boyfriend looked very enthusiastic when he suggested to bring the baby along with you and the dogs outside so you can carry on with your plans, but you can easily tell that he’s already feeling embarrassed with the glances your not so big and chaotic ‘family’ is gaining.

“i keep making bad decisions today. what’s with me?” he whines, the pace of his feet currently not in his control. “bamie, slow down a bit. dad just did leg day earlier . . . we’ll come back tomorrow, and i’ll let you run then. please.”

you take a peek at nari to find her smiling at fluffy with a pacifier in her mouth. she plays with her small fingers before making grabby hands at the golden retriever, too busy trying to chase bam’s fast pace to even notice.

you giggle, finding the whole situation too funny. you enjoy your routine, but it’s nice to have a change like this every once in a while. besides, you also enjoy watching jungkook’s pouty complaints.

“come on, this isn’t so bad!”

“yeah, yeah,” he grumbles. “do you want to trade places then?”

“no thanks.” you chirp, briefly closing your eyes to savor the gentle breeze blowing on your face. “me and my nari are having a nice time together.”

he sighs as he gets tugged by fluffy, slight swerving to the right. “while my bam and fluffy are the only ones having fun.”

jungkook’s doe eyes meet nari’s almond ones, and he smiles at her fondly. “are you having a nice time, nari?”

she giggles in response, making her pacifier fall out of her mouth. his life flashes infront of his eyes, and seconds feel like years when her face scrunches up, the baby on the verge of wailing.

“her pacifier-”

you halt on your tracks, quickly moving to put it back in her mouth because god forbid you don’t know how you’re going to calm down her again if she falls back into another loud crying session. she relaxes back into her small bed, entertaining herself with the ring of the pacifier.

however, it seems like the sound of her giggle earlier attracted bam’s attention once again. he stands beside the stroller, while fluffy entertains himself with watching his friend’s tail wagging excitedly- his eyes darting around to follow the directions its moving towards.

nari’s small hand cups bam’s nose just right, and you can almost swear that he smiles at her. her giggles float around the air like a delightful morning song, and the doberman leans his neck on the edge of the stroller to get his fix.

“bam, no. no licking nari. sit.” you instruct him, and he obeys immediately.

let’s just say he licked the face of a baby’s stranger once, and understandably, they weren’t so pleased about it. that’s why although you let him interact with babies, you never let him get that close for hygienic and common decency reasons.

“that’s right. good boy.” jungkook praises him with the baby voice he only uses with bam. (his baby voice with you is quieter and sweeter, and you hate how you’re even comparing the two right now.) “i’ll give you some treats later, okay?”

bam perks up at the mention of food, an excited tongue hanging from his mouth as he pants. fluffy sits next to him, very much used to getting fed as well when bam is rewarded. it makes jungkook chuckle as he pets his head. “yes, you too, fluffy. be good boys and stop running, hmm?”

a dog is a man’s best friend, indeed.

you start biting at the edges of the cone of your ice cream, and nari, who is safely held by your arms, finds the crunching sound interesting. she sucks on her pacifier with your every bite, and you find yourself following a rhythm with her. meters away from the bench you’re occupying is jungkook running with the dogs in the middle of the park, having given up on scolding them, and resorted to just letting them tire themselves them out.

“baby, save me! i’m so tired!” he screams in agony. “my knees- they’re shaking!”

“this is why i said switching abs and leg day was a bad idea.” you say, more to yourself as you shake your head at the tragic scene that’s been unfolding for the past five minutes or so. “right, nari?”

she giggles as if she’s being tickled, and you find yourself enchanted by her thick and beautiful eyelashes, and how they flutter so gracefully.

“so pretty.”

—

“let’s have another review on our thoughts about having a baby.” jungkook proposes, holding nari’s baby bottle for her as she snuggles with her favorite giraffe stuffed toy. she’s on the verge of falling asleep. her eyes keep on closing, but she opens them again as if the taste of the milk nudges her awake.

it’s already 7pm. you, jungkook, and nari are hanging out on the couch with the lights dimmed and the television on low volume. the dogs passed out to sleep when they got home, and fluffy was fetched by your friend an hour ago. bam went back to his house to sleep again after eating dinner, but there’s a part of you that’s guessing he’s playing with a toy he hid inside it again.

“hmm, well, it’s the same as before.” you answer truthfully without an ounce of hesitation layered in your voice as fix up nari’s bib carefully before wiping her chin with it. “babysitting nari was fun, and i want to do it again in future. but having our own baby, i don’t think about it that much. we’re enjoying ourselves as our own person and as a couple, and i want to keep it that way for now.”

“right? me too. me too. we’re so busy, but we’re enjoying working on our own stuff. we should live life to the fullest and not take it for granted.” he nods his head in agreement, feeling all warm and bubbly inside.

he loves how you can talk about this topic comfortably, and how you’re straightforward about your refreshing thoughts and opinions. the safe atmosphere surrounding you makes it easy for him to be honest as well. “i think it keeps our relationship healthy, that we discuss our present thoughts and situation instead of making big plans ahead.”

“of course you’d say that after changing her diaper.” you chuckle. the image of your boyfriend determined to finish the task despite not enjoying it one bit, speaking to nari with a doting baby voice to make time fly faster— it has been stored in the precious little memory box stored in your brain.

“it’s not like that!” he denies, but he is betrayed by his inability to contain his laughter. the corners of his eyes crinkles and his nose scrunches, a breathy laugh escaping him. “really, i don’t mind doing it when we babysit.”

“really? okay. you do it from now on.”

a complaint hangs on the tip of his tongue, but he concedes. “okay. it’s not a problem to me.”

silence fills the air. and you snort at how miserable he looks after digging his own hole.

he scoffs in embarrassment. “i’ll make changing diapers my new talent. you’ll see.”

“i’m looking forward to it, my love.” you reply to him sweetly, pulling away his hand to make the rubber pop out of her mouth, conscious of accidentally waking her up. the baby has finally succumbed to drowsiness. you cautiously wipe her mouth with the bib again, before carrying her back to her stroller in preparation for when her father arrives.

you crawl back on the couch, placing a pillow on jungkook’s lap before lying on your back.

“hi. i love you.”

you look up at him with an amused smile, catching him gazing at you with his eyes shimmering with devotion, and you’re afraid you might actually melt this time. “all of a sudden?”

he sighs deeply as he starts caressing your hair tenderly. “you’ve been upset with me. because i don’t say it as much as i used to.”

his statement catches you offguard. the ever so familiar urge to cry like a baby surfaces, and you blink back the tears forming in your eyes. it takes you a minute to compose yourself and to organize your thoughts, but he waits patiently.

“you noticed that?”

“oh baby, i know you better than you think.” he answers quietly, thumb brushing off the lone tear that escaped down to your temple. “but i should pay more attention. i’m sorry that i’ve been too busy.”

“no, you have nothing to be apologize for.” your voice cracks by the end, and a wave of tears fall when he leans down to kiss your cheek. “i’m just being silly.”

jungkook has the divine superpower of making a moment feel like blissful eternity.

“how is wanting to be reminded that you’re loved silly when it keeps us alive?”

his lips ghost over yours before they touch. he whispers an i love you with each kiss, a hand wrapped around your neck. it just stays there without any pressure, for the sole purpose of feeling your rapid pulse under his fingers. you’re alive.

normally, when you say a word or a phrase over and over again, it tends to feel foreign on your tongue until it loses its meaning. but each of his i love you gains more weight, and god knows you’ve always been a hypocrite when it comes to your inhibitions. the sharp tug on his hair makes him groan raspily. your restless hand prevents him from disconnecting your lips one more time because you just decided that you want more of his honey kisses instead of hushed confessions as a testament of his love.

you see, jungkook has never regretted a tattoo or piercing in his life to the point that he wanted them removed, that is until he found himself regretting his lip piercing every time you tease him with it during your makeout sessions. because the doorbell rings, and it renders him crazier, how you don’t forget to playfully tug on it with your teeth, to lick it as if to soothe away his pain, before you push him away.

his longing eyes chases after your glossy lips. his deceivingly innocent lover, he never wants to be far away from you.

“we would be horrible parents.” you mutter under your breath when you sit up to be greeted by bam, the hand of a baby holding his nose again.

“the absolute worst.” your boyfriend one-ups you with a sigh. “bam, house.”

the dog avoids his eyes, subtly leaning his head towards nari more. “bam. i said house.” at that, he obediently walks back to the bedroom.

“why does he always need to be told twice?” you breath out a laugh, but it gets cut short when the doorbell rings again.

“shit- wait, talk to him for a bit. i need to clean her hand first.” you panic, scrambling to open the zipper of her bag to retrieve the baby wipes.

“stop cursing infront of the child!” jungkook cries out, looking back at you briefly before resuming his journey to their door.

you make a face at him before pulling nari’s stroller towards you. “if shit becomes your first word, don’t tell your parents i’m the one who taught you, okay, nari?”

she listens to you with a bewildered look on her face, and she bursts into a fit of giggles when she hears her name.

her bright and loud presence has plastered a permanent endeared smile on your lips. “that’s my girl.”

Hi Nalyra, I'd love for the fandom to be a safe space but it isn't. People are just out there to bully each other, pick up fights and sometimes even harass other people. It's exhausting. Yours and few other blogs are the only way for me to engage with the fandom without giving it up. I don't want this toxic environment to ruin my experience with the show, but it's so difficult. Thank you and sorry for the rant.

*hugs*

I know how it is. Or can be. Rant away, anytime^^ And I'm glad you enjoy this, "here" still.

*sighs* We've been in hiatus for too long. We are regurgitating the same content, for almost two years now. People have dug into their respective positions, not giving any middle ground anymore.

I hope we will get something tomorrow. Anything, really.

That little teaser yesterday gives a bit of hope, and even if they only would announce May as release date that would be something. I would prefer April for Emmy and general waiting reasons, but it would be something.

There will be better times again, promise.

Please, feel free to reach out anytime. There are a lot of people around still who just love this show, and are waiting more or less patiently for it to kick off again, don't let the bad apples sour your experience... Because they are just a few bad apples.(*)

(*) And I also think that some of the toxicity has ramped up once more recently because season 2 is actually so much closer... and a lot of the more... errrr.... interesting preconceptions will be put to test, very soon. And, well, let's say I have my expectations as to how THAT will go *laughs* (and I think "they" have those, too^^)

Night Court (January 2024)

John Larroquette dons full Klingon attire again in an episode of NBC's Night Court reboot after appearing as a Klingon in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The original Night Court aired from 1984-1992, with John Larroquette starring as Assistant District Attorney Dan Fielding, a role that earned him four consecutive Emmy Awards. Larroquette reprises the role of Dan Fielding in the 2023 revival of Night Court, making him the only regular character from the original to join the cast of the reboot. Before Larroquette landed a starring role in Night Court, he appeared as the Klingon Maltz in 1984's The Search for Spock. Now in its second season, the revival of Night Court will air a new episode on Tuesday, January 30 entitled “Wrath of Comic-Con." As part of the episode's plot, Larroquette's character will embrace his inner Klingon, donning a full costume, complete with forehead ridges and long hair. Source: Screen Rant

Sorry for the long post Destiny.

I do remember what anon. was talking about in terms of Zendaya getting the Emmy nom. Cause I remember her getting the Critics Choice Nom, her wearing the iconic boob armour and braids 🤩, but the Golden Globes and SAG's ignoring the show/her. So I just assumed that the Emmy's weren't gonna look at Euphoria season 1, even with it's popularity, but when I tell you I screamed when she got that nomination in July 2020. I said, "Oh SHIT" LMAO. Then whenn it came to winning I knew she had a shot cause in my mind she was in the top 3 of the ladies nominated in that category. I thought the Emmy's #1 choice was Jennifer Aniston, just cause I heard a lot of talk for "The Morning Show" and she won the GG, #2 was Laura Linney, cause it was Ozark's last season and #3 was between Z and Sandra Oh. The other two Jodie Comer and Olivia Coleman I knew weren't gonna win, not because they weren't great, I mean it's Olivia and Jodie they are beasts, but because I heard the other 4 have more chatter that award season. But I still knew Z had a chance of winning it and she was MY 1st choice. And guess what she won. So long rant aside, sorry lol. Tom still does have a chance of being nominated. The Emmy's are funny like that. But if he doesn't that man is still young and has PLENTY of opportunities to keep making more films/T.V. shows.

Hey girl! 👋🏾

No worries for the long dissertation. Who am I to talk?? 🤣

Anyway, you spit nothing but FACTS with this post. 😁👍🏾 I remember it like it was yesterday too!! 😅

I was still rooting for Zendaya to get an Emmy even despite what other awards looked like, because I know that the Emmys are STRICTLY TV, so that's why I can't figure out why some fans have automatically just thrown in the towel when it comes to Tom and TCR?? 🥴

The awards season is NOT over yet! He still has some chances at some future nods this year.

Anyway.....

Boy I was over the moon when she got that nomination, you hear me?? 😁 And then, for us as a fandom to also start noticing that she started to like Tom's posts again on IG, to me, that was a sign that he must have reached out to her regarding her Emmy nod. 🥰

Ohhh what an exciting time that was!!! 👏🏾 😁

I honestly didn't think she was going to win. I thought Jennifer or Sandra were going to win it tbh lol 😆 I was just happy she was nominated chiiiiilllle lol! Rofl 😅

But imagine my surprise and excitement when they announced her name!!! Omg I think I jumped up to the ceiling that day! Rofl 😅 🙌🏾 👏🏾

So yea, like you said.... ANYTHING can happen.... That's why awards season is so EXCITING to me! 😁😅

this michaelrika kaibanks just ruined everything for me. especially considering banks is my favorite character and i only continued with the series so i could get crumbs of her(which didn happen thanks to pd always favouring rika and thrusting her into situations where she is not needed). honestly, that bonus scene does not sound like banks AT ALL. her worrying about how her how "family" doesnt love her enough after 10 damn years made me want to break something especially since pd made it out like they all adore and love Rika while making banks feel like she was not part of the inner circle. moreover if emory would have become good friends with any one in that weird-ass grp it would have been with banks but NO pd has to make it all about rika..in a bonus scene... about Banks. idk why no one is talking abt that. and this is so against the found family theme pd set up in the books.

kai kai kai what do i even say abt this guy. past kai was such a gem. like i will fight anyone who says otherwise. him and banks were SO DAMN CUTE but the present one.. not so much. in the bonus scene banks asks rika did she go around walking knowing that she could have had kai again and again if banks didnt come into the picture. i think kai WOULD HAVE had rika again if he hadnt found banks and i cant just ignore it no matter how much i try. also why is kai ALWAYS going "rika this rika that" even after he found banks. ik everything and every character in the dn universe is about rika coz pd created them but it is just disturbing kai is like this even though he knows that makes banks uncomfortable.

i was so excited when pd said she was gonna write a bonus scene for dn but MY GOD I WISH I DIDNT READ WHATEVER THE HELL THAT WAS IN HER FACEBOOK. and to think this might be the last kai banks scene we ever get... makes me wanna cry. they deserve so much more. there might be more bonus scenes in that universe but it sure as hell wont be abt kaibanks knowing pd (i mean she did them dirty in their own book making the main focus damon and rika)

ohhh i almost forget about the conclave scene where kai knows about rikas situation before michael. i mean wtf is this even. and when banks get upset rika had the audacity to feel betrayed. after everything kai said to banks in hideaway abt how she is the one he looks for every morning, this scene in conclave just ruined that closure. AND we didnt get to see kai and banks talk about it. of course we didnt because they are just side characters in this series right.

in my opinion, pd should rewrite the bonus and quit making Kai so 'rika-centric' and actually concentrate on how HIS OWN wife feels.

ik this is a lot kai banks but this is years of pent-up frustration over how my best girl and kai were done dirty.

and i feel like i would have liked rika so much more if pd didnt shove her down our throats like that throughout the series

pt 2 of the ask:

by the same person who wrote the kai banks rant will you ever write a fanfic on kai banks coz i have searched the internet and i couldn't find one story abt them. which is really sad since they are the only other couple who made sense apart from will and emmy. and abt my previous rant kai ONLY belongs with banks and we all know it. i mean they belong with each other no one can say otherwise. kai might have been attracted to rika but he will choose banks no matter what so that is why it is frustrating when he is made out to be like he cares abt rika as more than just a friend and more than he should. what is your thoughts on all this

Honestly, I think you hit the nail on the head why this doesn’t sit right with a lot of us.

One, the time period. I could possibly buy this if it were set within the original series. Maybe before NF or very soon after. But ten years later makes Banks seem very insecure and childish. She’s just been living for ten years thinking that her husband is secretly lusting over what is perceivable her best friend. Or at least her closest female friendship. That doesn’t feel like Banks to me. My understanding of Banks character is that she would have addressed any issue much sooner.

And two, this was supposed to be about Banks. But what we have is Banks making Rika feel better. First, confronting her over the young girl and reminding Rika that she has nothing to feel shamed over. Then, realizing how Rika feels, confirming those feelings. And in a way, Banks realizing that her feelings around Rika were not insecurities but were in fact attraction, is about Banks. But it’s still really about how amazing Rika is, and everyone agrees.

No one is immune to Rika Fane is the point of the scene. But it's the same message we've been getting since Corrupt.

It’s frustrating because it doesn’t give found/chosen family vibes. It’s all about Rika.

And now I feel like this about her:

kai kai kai what do i even say abt this guy. past kai was such a gem. like i will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Okay, okay. I’ll keep my fighting words to myself...

But anyway, Kai alone frustrates me (which is super disappointing because from other’s POVs, he’s delightful and interesting). Banks makes him better. I love the two of them together. The fact that he’s given any room for Banks to develop feelings of doubt about him and Rika is so odd. There’s no argument for it.

the conclave scene where kai knows about rikas situation before michael. i mean wtf is this even. and when banks get upset rika had the audacity to feel betrayed.

See, Rika confiding in Kai didn’t bother me, because it made sense to me that she’d confide in him. At this point, Kai is one of her closest friends and I (maybe erroneously) thought of Kai as the most reasonable and comforting of the group, which is something Rika needed. It’s the jealousy and the doubt about their relationship that comes after that ruined it for me. Either Rika and Kai can be friends and nothing else, or they can’t. And PD is really pushing this “they can’t” idea with every update and bonus they post. Which is so weird.

Do you think we could challenge PD to write a couple-centric scene where none of the other couples show up, if only for us to get quality couple content?

ik this is a lot kai banks but this is years of pent-up frustration over how my best girl and kai were done dirty.

Hey, I get it. I’m here for some kaibanks conversation. As much as Kai in the series frustrates me, Kaibanks in my head sit in the same boat as Willemmy, which is that they are cute and deserve better.

And didn’t feel like didn’t would have liked rika so much more if pd didn’t shove her down our throats like that throughout the series

Very true.

will you ever write a fanfic on kai banks coz i have searched the internet and i couldn't find one story abt them. which is really sad since they are the only other couple who made sense apart from will and emmy.

It's not that I don’t want to, but I haven’t been able to wrap my head around Kai and Banks as characters. This scene helped with Banks a little, but now Kai is harder to understand. I know there were some oneshots over on Wattpad if you have access. If I were to ever break from Willemmy, Kaibanks would probably be the next one I'm inclinded towards, though. Sorry I can’t promise anything.

kai ONLY belongs with banks and we all know it. i mean they belong with each other no one can say otherwise. kai might have been attracted to rika but he will choose banks no matter what so that is why it is frustrating when he is made out to be like he cares abt rika as more than just a friend and more than he should.

I completely agree. I think with the way the family is set up, there would be nothing wrong with Kai thinking Rika or any of the other girls are attractive, but it should be clear that he doesn’t have the same bond/connection/relationship to them as he does with Banks. I still think back to Michael openly declaring that Rika was everything to him, and it’s strange that none of the other guys have similar moments where they remove any doubt that they want no one else.

Like, I don’t think Michael wants Banks. Or Winter. Or Em. He wants Rika and Rika’s happiness. He might think Banks is hot, but that’s probably as far as it goes.

That’s Banks. Kai’s wife, Damon’s sister. Pain in his neck.

If somebody gave Kai an ounce of that energy towards Rika, we’d have a completely different vibe.

I'm not sure what can be done to protect our sanity. I, for one, usually hate to ignore canon, but sometimes it's just... not worth acknowledging in favor of your own HC.

That might be the case here.

Let me know your kaibanks HC if you're up for it. Anyway, have a great day. Hope you forget all about the bonus scene soon!

-KO

I watched First Kill too late because the cancelation made me feel too scared of being attached (stupid, i know)

But I did finished and I didn't understood a single criticism. Okay, the CGI is shitty but also so it's current Marvel CGI so what's the point? We all watched Teen Wolf, cannot be worse than that. We sat down and saw Twilight and The Vampire Diaries and it was peak television/cinema at that time. First Kill had also a good, consistent writing with a interesting lore, the storyline weren't missing between romance and all as usually does.

The couple was rushed, indeed, but they're also 16 and lesbians, so what's the point again, i mean hahaha slow burn is good but it's also all that lesbians and sapphics are being given for a long time. It was amazing to me when I first saw Orphan Black and the sapphics (Delphine was bisexual so i don't feel like it's right put lesbian couple, but Cosima was lesbian) fucked. They did fucked. But again Orphan Black was never mainstream. Sex it's not everything but I feel like lately many people are being too puritans about sex in the media when it comes to LGBT characters, specially lesbians/sapphics. Not everything was male gaze. No one was watching the pantry scene. In fact, no one even joked or did some sexist/fetishist comment about Call and Jules going there, they just went and did their thing, also in the woods. What gaze? Male viewers weren't even the target audience. Also was never explicit and couldn't be, the girls are teenagers so they're kids. I saw a lot of comments about this whole male gaze stuff and I was like "where? What gaze? Is this gaze in the room with us right now?"

Carry on, the racial representation was wonderful and some aspects were so subtle i just felt delighted. Theo sleeping in a silk durag? Cal's hair getting curly when wet or sweat? But also, they weren't never defined by being black. Calliope was a child who was treated as child and defended as a child. How many times we, as black girls, saw that on media? She's a kid and she's allowed to be a kid. She's not expected to be the strongest person in the room, to protect people or to be parentified or even comments about she's being grown or something that could be understood as creep. She's a child. It was refreshing to see.

Talia and Theo's relationship? Outstanding. Validation to all the adoptive and blended families. That's her baby (fuck Jack bro). That's her child. He's her whole heart. You will only kill her son over her dead body. But also she respects that he keeps a picture of his mom. She understands how awful it was to him become the monster who killed his beautiful and kind mom. She never tried to take his mom place. He has two moms and that's it. It was beautiful and Aubin Wise made me cry one time or two.

The legacies being a matriarch also was very good to see it, it was interesting.

It was a good show. There's no reason to justify why i like it as i usually see people being like "i know it had this but..." There's no but. It was good. It wasn't a masterpiece Emmy winner of written and acting but it wasn't meant to be. It was never meant to be. It was a great representation with good soundtrack, main couple with good chemistry, a lore to be on the background, full Romeo Juliet and Juliet and I loved every second of it. Feels like we can't win, it's so hopeless. We can only win in the background or being dead? Why representation is, still, in the year of 2022, so conditional to WLW? Especially if there's a non-white woman in the couple?

Netflix didn't even had a reason to cancel the show. The budget was a bottle of juice and a candy. Performed good with the audience. The repercussion on social media was overall positive beside the common criticism (bad cgi, rushed couple). We don't even have a chance. Sorry for the rant but I needed it to put this somewhere. Ugh, waiting for the day we can have something that won't be stolen from us.

another week, another ted lasso rant (lol)

this latest episode had so much potential to do something of importance. they set everything up so well for colin to have a meaningful coming out story with a supportive team that made it about him, but there’s this thing that straight creatives do where they try to make being gay not seem like a big deal and try to normalise it, but their method of normalising it is to remove its importance and try to minimalise the dangers, fears and liberation that comes with coming out.

they spent half the episode dealing with colin and isaac’s issues fairly well, as isaac was processing it. it was a bit on the nose and felt more like how a parent would react initially rather than a 20 something man in 2023, but whatever, it still felt like it was going somewhere.

but then the fight happened, and suddenly it was all about isaac. everyone was talking about isaac’s anger, his ability to be team captain, what that means for richmond, and whether he is gay.

and then it came to colin actually coming out, and instead of getting colin to say the words “i’m gay”, we cut straight back to isaac, who gets comforted by roy, and we then focus on roy and isaac, the former of which is only here so he can develop his own personal story. so again, nobody here’s story is relevant to the actual queer person in question.

we then go back to colin coming out, and ted makes a stupid story about someone being a fan of a different football team and they even point out how irrelevant it is, so literally what was the point? colin had so much time taken away from actually coming out and it was given to his straight friend and straight coaches. and then they make these references to oprah and “what’s a top or bottom?” which feel like they’re being written by a 50 year old who googled some gay forum from the 2000s to get his knowledge.

the whole story was just silly because we spent so long focusing on isaac, and even then, that wasn’t even about isaac. it was about isaac worrying about colin and in turn taking away time from colin so who was this whole story even about? who benefitted? because we know nothing more about either man, and there was next to no development that came from it. just isaac acting out and colin being silenced. roy and ted got more from this than isaac or colin so what was the point of it all...

a big issue this show has is that it doesn’t know how to tackle toxic masculinity without making it a big joke. homophobia in football is something we’ve seen in real life a few times, and we know horrific it can get. and this show - based in a very male dominated avenue and constantly dealing with toxic masculinity - had a huge chance to do something but because their take on the topic never goes beyond “isnt it funny how anti toxic masculinity i am?”, they couldn’t hackle.

isaac’s dialogue was written like he was a freshman from high school (because what man in their 20′s reacts to his friend coming out like that?) this show constantly infantilises these men as a way to “challenge” toxic masculinity, and it’s just so irritating. why are ted and roy the only men allowed to actually confront anything in a serious way?

atp, i just don’t want ted lasso to touch queer stories ever again. they don’t know how to handle it without putting in some dumb joke that takes up half the screen time just to get to the punchline.

colin and isaac had so much potential and neither of them benefitted. it was just a way to give jason a “funny” monologue for his emmy campaign and for roy (a grown man who has been in this business for decades) to learn how to speak to people.

#so close to dropping it atp #bc s1 and 2 were so excellent #i don't know how it has fallen so hard...#ted lasso #ted lasso rant #tv thoughts #ted lasso s3 #ted lasso s03e09

Where do all these people make up these crazy rumors about “Rings of Power”? LOL Seeing more again about the show runners being fired and that they’re going to get rid of a lot of the cast to make it more accurate to the books. Supposedly to them Amazon is waiting till after awards season next year (which if you count the Emmys would be next September) to announce this plan.

Thing is they’re already filming season 2 and have been since early October. Charlie’s already confirmed it’s focused a lot on Sauron and his backstory and Morfydd’s spoken on season 2 too. There’s already set pics too of them filming in the UK and Ismael is possibly filming in New Zealand currently. Plus even if the show runners leave that will affect season 3 not 2, so everything for season 2 is set now. I know they said they were listening to the fans and adding some changes but it won’t be that drastic.

Plus these so called rumors also say the show is low rated which at least in the US is not the case. Nielsen has been keeping track of it and it is still ranked number 3 overall all in all streaming through episode 7 (we’ll find out the rating numbers for 8 later this week) just behind Netflix’s “Dahmer” miniseries and “Cobra Kai”, and it’s still getting over 900,000 million minuets watched each week and seperate study said it spiked again after the finale so likely will go up more. It’s also still one of Amazon’s top rated shows they’ve ever made so it’s not going anywhere. Plus there is a fanbase as look at all the fics that’s popped up since the finale here and on AO3 especially for the Galadriel & Halbrand/Sauron ship, and all the posts from us fans on all social media.

Just sad and crazy the way people can get like this and just make stuff up. It reminds me of a certain group in the DC Comics fandom. Again I could be proved wrong next year but I highly doubt it and just needed to rant. LOL

ETA: Normally I wouldn’t have seen this but it came in my Google Alert I have for the show as there’s sites posting articles about it.

how do you judge Tom and Zendaya as actors? outside of stanning just objectively. The industry says Z is incredible with her two Emmys, everything she does is very anticipated, Tom on the other hand seems to be overlooked and to be falling off. Do you agree with them?

Neither are great, to be honest. What I said about Natalie and Flo in my long rant in my previous post also applies to Z. But as I said for Flo, Z is still young and if she WANTS to improve, she has room to grow.

Same with Tom. He was good on and off in the episodes of TCR for example. He gave glimpses of his potential but he still has not realized his full potential yet. Again, at this point , it comes down to them wanting to put more effort and focus on IMPROVING themself as that is the only way they can be great one day. That being said, as they are now, they can still win awards and even Oscar one day as awards are literally given to anyone, so the awards have no actual value to me.

For example, look at Joaquin Phoenix in “To Die For”. He was young then , and in that performance you can see a glimpse of his potential for greatness but he was not quite there yet, and he clearly has put in some work since then and over the years has improved tremendously, and has become one of the greats.

17, 22, and 35 if you please

17. Do you have any headcanons? If yes, what?

I have many, actually! Pick your favourite:

Let's start with the obvious: none of these characters are straight. Specifically, Clive is demi and Emmy is pan.

Emmy's parents are both from Peru, with her mum being of Japanese descent. Her dad was an archeologist conducting research on Inca sites, and whose work eventually landed him on Targent's radar.

Clive's dad was an engineer; his mother worked for the National Gallery and restored paintings for a living. She spent a couple of years in France during her studies and fell in love with the culture.

People assume Clive's impressive artistic knowledge and fluency in French come from his posh education; he doesn't correct them.

Clive's first fictional crush was Emma Peel from The Avengers. If you know, you know.

Clive's current fictional crush is Edelgard von Hresvelg from FE3H. Again, if you know, you know.

Clive is very particular about his apparence and would never be caught dead in anything other than a suit. Paradoxically, he doesn't make much of an effort to hide the burn scar on his forehead, as it is a reminder of his growth throughout the years.

After his release, Clive becomes Hershel's assistant as part of his plan to atone for his crimes. He quickly realises that the Professor needs the company as much as he does, and finds himself in an unexpected rivalry with Emmy, who just came back to London and doesn't appreciate a terrorist hanging out with her friend and stealing her job.

Of course, Clive and Emmy end up getting married, and Clive becomes a stay-at-home dad to their children (both loosely named after important people in their lives), while still helping out Hershel regularly.

There's many more than I could possibly fit in this post, but rest assured that I WILL rant about them on this blog.

22. Do you have any merchandise? If yes, what? If no, would you like any? What would you get?

I don't have any official goodies, but I was able to buy a few trinkets from artists at conventions including some badges I had planned on bringing back with me but left at home again !

It's not much, because the offer is quite limited compared to other fandoms - but I do have the aforementioned badges, some nice posters, and a lovely mug with a spelling error in which I keep my pens. I'll try to post some pictures when I get the chance!

35. What Layton meme did you enjoy the most (Clive and the snails? Desmond’s bread hair?) ?

So here's the thing: after years of writing Clive and developing an entire universe around him, he has taken on many of my likes and dislikes. One irreconciliable difference between him and me, though, is the snail bit.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved snails as a child - my grandparents even let me keep a "snail farm" (basically, a big tank with plenty of food and humidity) in their garden when I would come visit. And, for some reason, I find it hilarious that my favourite character of all times hates them with a passion.

The fact that Emmy shares this hatred of gastropods makes it even better. Both of their kids LOVE snails, of course.

("Descole, you pompous *ss. You haven't masterminded sh*t" is also an unbeatable classic.)

are there... actually any good webtoons on webtoon? i used to be a big fan back when i was 17/18 and i started reading them again (i'm 22 now and a bit more critical of what i read lol) and i'm just... appalled... i agree with all the criticism of lore olympus, true beauty was a mess, snailords apparently abuses his fans, and in his recent story he had a lesbian woc be a victim of sa who was eventually graphically murdered. he used the fact that she was a lesbian as advertisement. unordinary used to be a favorite of mine but as i was getting caught up i was so triggered by one character's abuse of another (idk if you've read it or plan to read it so i won't specify) that i felt physically ill and could not read anymore. i skipped ahead a few chapter to see if they end up together or if the victim cuts off her abuser but she doesn't and now it seems like she's in a trauma bond. it paralleled my own abusive relationship so strongly i was horrified to see so many people shipping them and defending the abusive character. i only found one post on reddit pointing the abuse out and it was downvoted. i used to like let's play too but i tried rereading it and just couldn't take it seriously, the workplace harassment that happens in the first few eps is just ridiculous. i've also heard that mongie is also very bad at taking criticism. i love yoo has a romance between a 17 year old and a man in his i believe mid 20s. is there a single healthy relationship on this app? or a quality story? i feel like i should just delete the app at this point.

sorry for ranting in your inbox lol, i'm too anxious to make an actual post and i really appreciate your lo criticisms though i am genuinely curious if there are any stories worth reading on webtoons at this point.

you’re more than fine to rant in my inbox you don’t have to apologize, I encourage people to rant and such! I appreciate that you like my criticisms they’re mainly all over the place. But I can say that there are some good webtoons out there! Me personally I enjoy a lot of the canvas ones since I feel like their stories are very promising and interesting. But I can tell you some of my favorites just in case you might want to check it out.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures — I really liked this one honestly, it’s just a slice of life and the plot surrounds itself with the family and fighting crime and such in Gotham. It’s pretty funny too and wholesome.

Roach — I stopped reading around episode 6 but not because I didn’t like it, I just got caught up with other things and forgot to check in with it. But it’s a horror one so beware of the blood and such, I’m not sure if they have any triggering themes but I’ll double check in the comments for that one.

Midnight Furies (Canvas) — Very interesting and fun, it’s about magical basketball basically and whenever you go to the court you gain these superpowers. It’s got drama and such and it also has a woman of color as the main character. I think it’s really neat and it could be good for you if you enjoy action.

The Human Spirit (Canvas) — I haven’t exactly checked in with this one either in a bit but it starts in a fantasy world where powers exist. There’s a lead singer for I believe an alt band (could be metal but genuinely I don’t remember, I’ll edit this once I check back in) that plays live music for this female fighter (also a woman of color) and they instantly like each other and go out on a date until during their time together the inner city gets their individual powers taken from them. Like superpower wise, which lead these two to go on this journey. Although there is a falling out between the two main characters after this, still interesting though.

Emmy The Robot (Canvas?) — This one is my all time favorite. It uses a trope that I love a little too much which is when a robot nanny accidentally starts wiring out of control (not in a violent way) but she’s in need of answers. It’s like this cool dystopian world where androids take care of your children and they all have personalities and such, it’s a very cute and light hearted story.

The Reincarnation Of Countess Diabolique (Canvas) — This one is one of those tropes where a person dies and they’re sucked into a book that they got but unlike the other ones I actually really like this one. The main character was this political figure who I believe either got assassinated or something but after death she got teleported into the book that her husband or boyfriend gave her. I enjoy that she’s really rational and less cheerful about it, she’s mainly trying to rebuild the economy in her kingdom even though the character before created numerous amounts of terrible things using dark magic. I think the characters and art is really nice, there’s some things I have to say about it but I think it’s just a personal nitpick. It’s one of my favorites as well though.

Pyramid Game — Okay this one isn’t as light hearted as the other webtoons I discussed, it’s definitely in need of a trigger warning since there’s creepy behavior between a student and teacher and I believe some other heavy topics. But it’s all about the main character transferring to this prestigious school that has like a sort of popularity system where if you are voted around the D ranks you’re in the spot for being bullied pretty badly. I think it’s interesting but it might not be for everyone which is completely fine, but it does have an engaging plot. It’s a drama though.

Of Swamp & Sea — This is also a lighthearted webtoon, it’s set in a world where wild monsters run free and monster hunters have to round them up and capture them. The main characters father was eaten by one of them and she called a monster hunter in order to protect the rest of her land but after she accidentally got possessed by the very creature who ate him. Feeling guilty the monster hunter takes her along with him in order to free her from the monster and such. There’s romance going on between them but also a lot of action, drama, and a bit of lore. It’s set in like western times (I think?) and it’s a nice read.

Blue Love (Canvas) — Okay this one is filled with a few tropes which includes standoffish x friendly, perfectionist x laid back, closed off x open, and mix it in with an office romance. Luckily though, it’s without the power imbalances (at least I believe so) and their friendship isn’t at all toxic or anything. It’s basically about the main character being contaminated with blue blood (literally she bleeds blue) because of drinking a blue drink over the years while the main interest finds out about it, he swears not to tell anyone about it and helps her keep her secret from the other workers. Although she doesn’t have much of a good reputation since she is a perfectionist and a little more guarded than the average person. I like the dynamic and I have a few nitpicks with it but nothing too big, I enjoy it though.

Hippo Meets Piggi — It’s an adorable story about like animals but make them walk on two legs and work in a little office. It kinda reminds me of sanrio and it’s adorable, it’s a slice of life and the main character Hippo has a huge crush on Piggi which is her coworker, yeah it’s another office romance. It’s super duper lighthearted and adorable I recommend reading it if you enjoy stuff like that.

Super Cutie Sundae Force (Canvas) — I discovered it today and it’s also adorable, it’s a magical girl group and it follows a lot of it’s tropes. It’s got a lot of jokes and fun comedy though and the style is so cute since they’re all so little and pastel.

Get Schooled — I really enjoy this webtoon honestly, it does go into heavy topics of abuse in parents and adults and such so it might not be very suitable for you possibly, but luckily the victims always get a much better ending than the ones who inflicted pain upon them. Not only that but I enjoy how the webtoon highlights minors and advocates for them in times where adults would probably side with each other, it’s nice seeing a comic highlight something like that and although I have a few gripes with it I think the story is very entertaining and very emotionally engaging. But again, there’s a bunch of triggers so be warned if you are willing to read it, if not I understand completely.

Blue Star Rebellion (Canvas) — Now this also handles a very dark topic of human trafficking and trade although it is set in outer space with aliens and mages. The characters are very cool and I enjoy their designs, there’s also a lot of lore and such which I always enjoy in stories and the interactions between them are really good. I’m sure the heavy topic at the source will still be prevalent within the story so also be warned for that, but for now it’s pretty lighthearted and such.

My Superhero (Canvas) — I enjoy the art style and the world that the creator and I really enjoy the dynamic of the main characters. It’s sort of a slice of light showcasing a villain trying to find an arch-nemesis and wanting for a specific superhero to be that although he’s very busy trying to defeat the arch-nemesis he already has. I think it’s pretty fun and entertaining honestly and I’ve had fun reading it.

She Makes Hungry (Canvas) — This is a story set in like a dystopian future where there’s monsters and such with I believe like a hunter or scientist hunting them and defending the people? I’m not sure it’s been a while since I’ve revisited it but the scientist ends up falling in love with the monster even though she knows that it’s against the laws. But she tries to hide her and keep her safe and such. I think they’re banter is really cute and I really like the story, I believe it’s starting to pick up but I could be wrong.

Lemon Soda & Coffee (Canvas) — This one handles a toxic relationship from a man’s point of view since he’s the victim of it. So there’s a trigger there, but I believe that that’s the only heavy topic that it dives into. It’s mainly about this office working man falling in love with a teacher who has a kid. It’s a really cute romance and they’re neighbors so they become friends before anything and then build their relationship overtime which is cute to me. But again, beware of it if you are interested please tread lightly.

Blood Stain (Canvas) — This is by the same creator who created Punderworld and actually I’ve been reading this one before it came out really. It’s about a woman down on her luck and in need of a job decides to take up a sketchy job offer from a location of a mad scientist and his assistant basically. It’s actually really lighthearted and entertaining, I really like the dynamic of the two characters and I think it’s a nice story for what it is.

Planetarium (Canvas) — Okay umm.. so this is another workplace romance (I know, crazy right) but it does have a power imbalance between the two characters but around this time of the story they’re more like enemies than anything so there’s still a bunch of development that needs to be done. I think it’s pretty lighthearted and cool to see personified planets all working in a huge building in the middle of space. There’s drama of course but it’s actually very enjoyable and not suffering so yeah, take that as you will.

The Croaking — It’s a really complicated story and it’s one I just cannot explain with words honestly, there’s a lot of twists and turns and at times you’ll get confused but there’s never a dull moment with them. I really like the world building and such, also since the people in the story have bird wings you get so many patterns and animals facts. Some people even carrying animalistic traits with them which I think is really cool. But there are some tense moments around 68 so if you are interested be aware of that.

Suitor Armor — I really like this one too, although it does have some moments where it’s really heavy so beware of that if you aren’t already. I do enjoy the fantasy and drama elements and I’m really excited to see where it goes.

Downtrotten (Canvas) — I really like this story, it’s a cute story about unicorns and I think it’s neat I also started reading it today and I enjoy how cute it is.

Night Owls & Summer Skies — This one is pretty cool too, it’s about a romance between two girls who are at this summer camp. I have a few nitpicks with it but all in all I think it’s pretty interesting. It does showcase divorce and it’s affects though so beware of that, but otherwise it’s just pretty fun to read and really funny.

After School Lessons For Unripe Apples — I really like this one it’s a slice of life but it’s a constant plot revolving around two teens who knew each other from childhood forming a friendship and working their way through adolescents. I really enjoy it although at times I do get a little confused but that’s just me and I really love the way the characters are written and such.

Nevermore — I haven’t read all of it but from the feedback from other people it’s pretty good and it’s got really nice art. I believe the story is kinda putting a supernatural twists to sapphics or at least I think that’s what the ads sorta say about it. I think it’s really cool though.

Rotten — This one is a finished webtoon but it’s really cool. It’s a horror drama thriller though and it does handle topics of abuse, murder, and etc. So beware of that if you’re interested in it but it’s one of my favorites.

Anyways, that’s the end and I hope that this gave you a good selection or helped you in any way! If none of these are for you I understand completely and I hope you find a story that suits you well! Good luck!

Summer Time (Family) Madness

Look! A fresh coat of paint to cover up the horrible original!!! Please pretend the original never existed

First | < Previous | Chapter 4 | Next >

AO3 | Original Chapter 1 | Original Chapter 2 | Original Chapter 3 | Original Chapter 4

“Emmy…”

Couch cushions muffled Langa’s whine as he crashed head-first next to his cousin. An old Disney Original movie played on the television, one he knew all too well. The song that was playing had been engraved in Langa’s mind from all the times Emily had forced him to watch it with her. How could he forget such an obnoxious love song? And how could he forget the even more obnoxious dance that went with it? The only thing that was worse than this movie was its sequel, which Emily had also watched so many times that the DVD had been scratched beyond repair.

Three pats on the head were all Langa got from the girl. She didn’t even seem to acknowledge the way his body hung over the armrest or how he was groaning into the cushion, just begging for attention. Instead, she kept her eyes riveted on the screen, bouncing on the couch in what was probably a lazy attempt at recreating the dance. At this rate, the downstairs neighbors would be filing a noise complaint against them.

Fingers tangled Langa’s hair, drawing his attention from the potential noise complaint. As he lifted his head from the cushion, Emily grinned at him. Her fingers still worked their way down his scalp, only coming to a stop to poke his cheek.

“What?”

“You’re moping again. Why?”

Langa sighed, finally flipping onto his back and staring at the ceiling. He had initially come to bug his cousin, hoping to rant to her about his troubles, but now that she was offering to listen to him, all desire to talk suddenly vanished. Maybe being miserable was all he really wanted to do. Was being able to mope and be miserable in the comfort of his own home too much to ask for?

“C’mon,” Emily’s fingers once more found their way through Langa’s hair as he let his eyes fall shut, “what’s wrong? Did you fight with your boyfriend?”

“Stop calling him that,” Langa muttered, slinging his arm over his face. He didn’t even have the energy to argue with the girl or reprimand her for the thousandth time. “I’m stupid. I’m just… so very stupidly stupid.”

“That’s nothing new, but what’d you do this time?”

Emily yelped as Langa abruptly sat up, turning to face her. He wasn’t sure why she was looking at him like that, her eyebrows knit but still sporting a smile. He didn’t understand why she was looking at him at all, but he didn’t like it. He didn’t like the look one bit and he was not going to be dealing with it. So he let his head drop into her shoulder. At least he wouldn’t have to see that stupid face was probably just waiting to mock him even more.

The silence was nice, for once. Langa got to sulk in peace, without having to worry about being told he was being dramatic. Because he wasn’t being dramatic; this was a totally reasonable reaction to his own idiocy. And the added stroking of his hair, it really helped. He liked it when Emily played with his hair, letting the silky strands slip through her fingers. It was a soothing gesture, something his mother often did when he felt himself start to panic as a child. It always helped make the moment pass. It was calming, grounding. And when he’d cuddle up against his mother, nuzzling into her side as she stroked his hair and softly sang to him, it left Langa feeling like the moment would pass. He wasn’t doomed, and even if it wasn’t his mother comforting him, even if it was Emily. It wasn’t the same thing, but in the end, the result was the same: Langa wanted to let it all out. He was ready to cry his heart out.

“I fucked up, Em. Like, big time.”

Emily nudged him, pulling his attention from the now-silent television. “You say that to everything, you drama queen. What happened for real?”

“I said I liked him.”

Deafening silence filled the room. Even Emily’s nimble fingers froze, nails suddenly feeling far too sharp against Langa’s scalp. So he really did fuck up. And big time.

“Did it…” Emily cleared her throat, her fingers slowly getting back to work. “So how did that go? Did it go badly?”

Had it gone badly? Not quite, if Langa was being honest. But at the same time, it had gone catastrophically bad. The situation itself was just terrible, and the timing was even worse. Everything about the whole ordeal was horrible, and Langa couldn’t do anything to fix it. Because fixing it would mean acknowledging the situation and clearing up the misunderstanding, which he was absolutely not ready to do. Ever. If he could forget it even happened, if everyone could forget, that would be amazing. But Reki had been keen on reminding him of his words. Sorta.

“Well…”

Maybe it didn’t have to be as bad as Langa was making it out to be. After all, Reki hadn’t understood him. Well, maybe he had, but he had also completely missed the point. When he uttered the words back to Langa, he had understood each word, but he had understood them wrong. And now, thinking back to it, Langa didn’t know if he was to be relieved at Reki’s difficulty with verbs or if he was to be mortified and annoyed at his best friend’s mistake. Why did misunderstandings have to be so complicated?

Langa groaned once more before lifting his head away from Emily’s shoulder. Her brown eyes seemed glued onto him and they had since filled with what seemed to be worry. Maybe she was blaming herself for whatever mishap had happened between Reki and Langa, but that would’ve been too good to be true. Emily never blamed herself for anything, even if she had initially been the one to push Langa to confess his feelings. Emily was always right, even when she was wrong. But this time, Langa couldn’t place all the blame onto his cousin. He was old enough to take the fall for his own actions. And anyway, it wasn’t as if things had gone to hell between the boys.

“Not… exactly?”

“Then it went well! Langa!”

Excitement painted itself all over the girl’s face as she bounced onto her knees and turned to Langa. Her fingers dug into Langa’s shoulders, almost tight enough to leave a bruise in their wake. And her grin was wide across her face, lighting it up brighter than a light shone directly into Langa’s face.

“Not exactly… either?”

Confusion pulled on Emily’s every feature: her eyebrows pinched, her nose scrunched, a frown pulled at the corners of her mouth. Her reaction was understandable, given that Langa had contradicted himself. He had, after all, denied it going badly, all while claiming it hadn’t gone well either. There was no room for a gray area in something so simple. His love confession had gone terrible or it had gone great. Done deal. Not that it was a love confession, far from that. It was a miserably dumb slip-up, at most.

“So… So it’s a kinda funny story.” Langa pulled at the collar of his shirt, fiddling nervously with the fabric. “I might have said it in English while half-conscious? And he may or may not have understood ‘I’m like you’ rather than ‘I like you’?”

“Langa!”

Big brown eyes stared at Langa in disbelief. If he hadn’t known any better, he’d have said they were popping out of the girl’s head. But they quickly disappeared as she let her head drop onto his shoulder, letting out a low, frustrated whine.

“Why are you so dumb?”

Why was he so dumb? Was there really an answer to such a question? Langa was fairly certain there were no good ways for him to explain why he was so dumb, especially when it came to this whole debacle of feelings and human interaction. Social interactions had never been his forte; it was no wonder he never had all that many friends. He had just never been very good when it came to his feelings and the likes. People were just difficult to connect with, especially when Langa was just so socially dumb. Honestly, it was a miracle that he had even managed to befriend Reki. So asking him to not only maintain his friendship with the boy but also confess his stupid, ever-growing feelings for him, that was just too much for Langa. It was like asking him to uncover the secrets of the universe. Or ace his math exam.

“By these standards, I’m not the only dumb one.”

“Two hopeless idiots in love.” Emily lifted her head from Langa’s shoulder, but not without making a show out of it. She held a hand over heart and one to her forehead before falling back onto the couch. “Soulmates!”

Langa raised an eyebrow at the girl, trying his best to seem as nonchalant as he possibly could. Still, he felt the heat rising in his cheeks, and if he was blushing, the entirety of humankind knew it. Damn his ridiculously pale complexion!

“You’re… Aren’t you going a little fast?” Coolness coated his totally not chill words. “No one is in love here.”

“You might wanna look in a mirror, Mr. I’m-so-ridiculously-in-love-with-my-best-friend-it-physically-hurts.”

Langa wasn’t one to stoop as low as pouting, but desperate times called for desperate measures. And given the circumstances, there was nothing to do other than let himself sink into the couch, arms crossed, while hoping, wishing, praying that it would swallow him whole. But that would’ve been too good. Nothing good was coming out of today. Especially not when Emily was pulling on his arm, trying her best to lift Langa’s lanky body off of the couch. And once she succeeded, her torture didn’t end there. She simply grinned at him as she swung his arms between them.

“I know what will get tour mind off this boyfriend situation!”

“Not a situation. And not a boyfriend.”

“Dance with me!”

Langa stared at the girl, unsure if he had heard her correctly. She couldn’t be serious, asking him of all people to dance. There was no way she wanted him, Langa, the most uncoordinated person ever, to dance. She was either hit with sudden delusions or she hit herself on the head with all that dancing she did.

“No.”

She looked like a giant toddler as Langa let his body fall back onto the couch. She stomped her feet as she whined, trying to coax him back up, not that it would work. Who ever saw a tantrum and thought that, yes, this is exactly what was needed to get them to do whatever the fussy baby wanted?

“C’mon!” Eyelash batting while tugging on his arm again. “I know you know it!”

That, unfortunately, wasn’t a lie. He knew the dance through and through, but that was totally against his will. It wasn’t his fault that his cousin was a drill sergeant when it came to dancing. For two whole summers, it was the only movie she ever watched, and unfortunately for Langa, being the taller and older one usually meant that she was the one in charge of the television before lunch. And after lunch. And whenever it was on while they were being babysat. And with a dance-obsessed monster that is given access to her younger cousin comes hours upon hours of practicing a dance Langa had no true interest in. He had been roped into the whole ordeal, forced to put his two left feet on display. He still vividly remembered the countless bruises and the abysmal number of times he had landed on his ass.

“I know you had fun dancing with me as a kid.”

That, too, unfortunately, wasn’t a lie. It was hard not to have fun when Emily was his dance teacher. For every fall, she would pull him back up and hype him up. And with every bruise and scrape, she would fetch the band-aids and make a whole show out of applying them. They had had fun during those summers, even if Langa absolutely hated dancing. With Emily, it was different. There was just something about sharing someone’s favorite activity that automatically makes it fun.

“Nope. Not happening. Absolutely not. I’m way too old for this shit.”

Langa sank deep into the couch before pulling out his phone from his back pocket. He pointed the lens at Emily, who simply grinned as she took a bow.

“Don’t forget to send this to Reki!”

She blew a kiss and winked at the camera, clearly far too comfortable in front of it. But that didn’t stop her from falling into her dance position, hands and feet flowing so effortlessly. She was like water. She was elegant and graceful and Langa knew that if he were to be standing next to her, he’d have made a fool of himself. But thankfully for him, he was stubborn and Emily didn’t argue any more with him. She probably remembered how terrible he was a decade ago and decided that it wasn’t worth it. He probably would’ve broken some of the already scarce decorations of the apartment and he did not need to be spending the rest of the week profusely apologizing to his mother. And he did not need to add a shopping trip to his list of things to do this summer, where he would probably use his entire paycheck to replace whatever he had the misfortune of breaking. Nor did he need Emily to hold this against him for the rest of forever.

Langa truly wondered how Emily managed to make such a shitty-looking dance actually look engaging. And he had fun following her every movement with his phone propped up on his knee. He got to enjoy the comfort of the couch while Emily got to laugh, twirling around and doing what she loved, but the more he filmed, the more Langa’s mind drifted off to Reki. He probably had tons of videos like this one on his phone. Knowing the boy, he probably found himself in countless situations like this one. His sisters most definitely tried to drag him into their ridiculous plans, and knowing Reki, sweet Reki who loved his family more than anything, he most probably gave in immediately.

Reki probably knew all sorts of dances because of his sisters. He probably also played Prince Charming for them, twirling them around the living room and calling them “Princess.” Reki, unlike Langa, wasn’t afraid of making a fool of himself in front of the ones he loved. Reki, unlike Langa, knew that fooling around was the best way to have fun with his sisters, getting them to giggle. And Reki, unlike Langa, probably did everything in his power to create the best memories for his sisters, hoping that one day they would think back fondly of the ways they got to play with their brother. Reki, unlike Langa, probably didn’t want a gap in time where it was like no one but himself existed. Memories had to be made somehow, and Reki probably knew that. He probably knew it better than Langa did. Reki, unlike Langa, didn’t suck at interacting with people. Reki probably knew that smiles and laughter were worth way more than any embarrassment he felt.

“Here.” The words caught Langa by surprise, not expecting them to come out of his mouth. And when Emily turned back to look at him with a puzzled expression, he knew he couldn’t get out of this anymore. Everything was on autopilot at this point, and the less he thought about the way he was now standing, his phone abandoned on the couch, his hand extended towards the girl, the better this would go. “At least let me spin you. It’ll look less weird.”

Yeah, he was going to regret this. Or maybe not. Maybe this would turn into a fond memory he’ll think about when he’s old. Maybe Emily’s grin would make its way into the long list of memories Langa had collected with his family. Maybe her grin would become as important as other treasured memories that would resurface whenever he felt sad. Maybe. He’d have to go through this first before knowing, and Langa wasn’t known for turning down a challenge. And it started with Emily pulling him farther from the couch, probably to join her stupid little dance.
