Im baaaaack 😈 Turnabouts fair play babe! Let's goooo !

🩷❤️💛❤️🩷

(don't ever stop!!!!!! ilysm!!! (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)) (i did this instead of crying so forgive me for the mess?? 💓)

1. the last sentence you wrote -

woe, paragraph be upon you instead because that sentence alone would kinda be nothing???:

The waves are singing against the Sunny and the weather is kind. The crew lingers, their own ways to spend the day drifting on the breeze. The world won't go still, but it does, mercifully, slow down. His laughter trails off into deep, even breaths as he falls into a dream larger than you could ever know.

(messy messy messy but the zolu came upon me in the early hours and it had to go somewhere. 🤡) (ignore the second person, sometimes i have to start fics with it and then switch everything to third person later when i have a grip on it. i do not know why. 👐)

5. first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unpublished WIP -

whelp, just have the whole paragraph again cause might be more mid otherwise, asdsfh:

There was another universe where, instead, Law gave in and headbutted him. Sent Eustass stumbling back, wiping the blood from his nose as he straightened from his recoil. Where they made eye contact as Eustass summoned whatever metals lay around the port and Law finally unleashed everything crushed inside his ribcage. Where they fought each other like they were taking down Emperors. Where their crews wasted themselves to get them free of each other.

(i don't know how I feel about it but hey, it's a wip for a reasonnnn. we edit for a reasonnnn. 🙈)

11. a WIP you’d like to finish someday -

not fanfic, although i have many of them i wish could see the world, but i'd love to finish my werewolves in space wip. it rattles around in my brain constantly and the actors my mind cast for the main roles are inspiration alone. i am easily spooked by my original works tho so god only knows if it'll ever be seen. 🥲

12. a trope you’re really into right now -

finding each other in every life (whether familial or platonic or romantic or anything else). it helps me sleep at night. 🥺

16. favorite place to write -

in my bed, just before going to sleep, with something chill on the tv. the words flow better there. it's peaceful. 😌

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you’re writing? how do you get past that? -

yeah. but also no, not really. by the time i'm in a position to be worrying about that, i've put so much effort and time into the thing that my delight at posting it, shuts off most of the bad what-ifs. i've been real lucky and only ever had nice experiences so far too. if i do worry about it before getting there tho, i hit up my sister or my other hype men and let them distract me from it with their biased povs. 😂

27. your favorite part of the writing process -

just the writing and editing in general, i guess. like when everything is starting to sing and you can add details and hidden gems. when you have a hole and you suddenly know how to fill it. matching words together that compliment each other and let the sentence paint the picture in a fun way. when the ideas elaborate on themselves and i just have to be the bricklayer. it's just really pleasing and calming when a piece starts coming together and you are running down that hill with all the momentum. 💪

29. how easy is it for you to come up with titles? -

90% of the time? too easily. i normally have a title idea before i start writing or just after. or there's something i wrote and when i am reading through later & i see it, i go: "👀 free title real estate mayhaps? 👉👈". at the moment i have like two to three titles for all my fics and works in progress and could come up with more without being threatened. 😂 i'm going to have such a hard time of it when i have to decide. 🫠

thank you for sending me some bangbang!! 💕💕 i'll try to get to the other ask soon. 🫶

#asked and answered #mooties ♡ #peanut 🥜💞 #from the dark pit #oh my words #i have not had much sleep so this is possibly the only time i would share my writing like this without screaming snd shrieking and crying #qgagsghajaj i thrup about it later but don'tworry #i am so out of it all my capitals disappeared uwu

A very personal rating of the Our Skyy2 episodes, in airing order cuz I am doing it weekly, if you stumble upon this list it is my personal opinion! if I rated your favourite episode low don't take it personally, we all love different things and maybe my favourite was the one you liked the least

Now here we go:

NLMG: 8/10 I really liked it, I liked the og show fairly enough more by the end than the start, but the special? I liked it a lot, I am a sucker for time traveling and period pieces so it played with my heart strings, I had some issues with the pacing and story but overall I liked the more romcom feel to it that to me PP are perfect for, bonus points having Pawins character score a bf! also it looked amazing! I love Jojos directing and the colorgradiants he used here

SIMM: 5.5/10 It was fine, nothing that bad, I onestly liked the first episode more than the second only cuz the pranking made sense, Maitee and Sean were being annoying and deserved to heve their asses handled to them, also the possible side couples played a big role on my liking this, they could have made SM or TM, but they didn't, tho WS are cute I can give them that, it didn't make much sense but ok, tho the major downside was the plotlessness and ok it is a 2ep special but they could have done more, just KN being sikeningly cute doesn't cut it for me, also News directing style is not for me

THE ECLIPSE 9/10 Ok I might be biased, you take a look at my profile you can see that I love FK and the Show, I didn't give it a 10 cuz the first episode had some issues mostly on how Aye acted torwards Akk, but this second one? Basically perfect! they were the sweetest and most loveble ever! all the kissing? The popsicle scene?? The bar scene??? The last scene???? PERFECT so I gave it a 9 cuz of ep1

VICE VERSA 5/10 ok so I wasn't the biggest fan of VV when it aired, but I wanted to go on this with an open heart and it was broken! and again I wanna say: FREE TALEY! Puen and his supposed best friends manipulated him! Using a CHILD! It was cute at the start, I still like JimmySea, but they had to go and ruin it, if the kid was actually Tess's child I would have been a lot more happy even tho Taley would have been a victim yet, better than being manipulated tho still chosing to be with Puen and satying friend with them! Sorry but this continue to not be my thing, saved by the cute cast!

MSP 6/10 It was all way too rushed, they wanted to combine all of 12 episodes in 2 and the result felt rushed and staged, like a bad movie that the characters produced, plus the only characters that were actually convincing were Tinn Por and the moms, the others felt stiff and too similar to their original character, the MV was cute but the sang was average at best, Tinn liking Gun since 10th grade(or at least it is implied) doesn't align with ep1 unless Tinn was lying the whole time, the ending scene was a bit confusing I don't know if it was made like that cuz they hope for a s2 but I didn't really get it, if the ending was either Tinn or Gunn waking up it would have been a good twist, anyway it was fine

ABAAB 5.5/10 Ok I did go in a little biased with this show cuz I really didn't like it, tho the first episode of OS2 was actually not that bad I did enjoy it but then the swap "bet"(it was basically a bet right?) happend and I got reminded how much I don't like this 2 people! and I feel bad cuz I do like ForceBooks interactions IRL but Gun and especially Cher I don't like them and I feel like they wrote them episode after episode without a clear idea on who they are cuz they act according to the plotline of the episode! Also I didn't like that we never got a resolution for the little fight ThreeZo had!

BBS×ATOTS 7/10 I changed the score cuz that last episode deserve a 9 if not a 10 it was perfect with pacing story and acting, but the rest didn't work for me especially the 2 crossover episodes, they sacrifaced the story to just make a mix and match of the 4 main characters! in the crossover they spend more time apart and with somebody else than with eachother and the time spent lost was too much, it didn't progress the story at all! if they did 2 eps dedicated to each couple amd then 1 only ep crossover maybe it would have worked better, also as I said Longtae was nowere to be found and not even mentioned and I am bitter and pissed about it still, I also feel like the characters especially Phupa were kinda ooc

Am I very biased with The Eclipse? YES INDEED!(but it is very obvious from my blog so do I even need to specify it?) the others I am more objective, tho mind you! NLMG wasn't one of my faves but I really liled the OS2 ep!(but I saw that people that liked the show didn't like the OS2 ep and vice versa)

So we arrived at the end of this journey, this thing was in my drafts since week 1 so 8 weeks can you believe that? anyway I have to say that I enjoied this show overall, it wasn't perfect and production was clearly rushed but it still worked and people enjoyed it so that is all that matters!

#personal opinion #our skyy2 #thai bl #thai show #gmmtv series #gmmtv2023 #thai drama #bl drama #gmmtv #this took so long to do but I wanted to make a post with all the shows #I am very biased tho #for my beautifull babies

For the Legends that got locked up in the Time Clink. . . which ones you think still had potential to explore? And why? I know your answer will probably will be 90% of them, so I'm just askin'.

okay so i will admit my obvious biases but i'll kinda. rank them bc that makes it easier. however i won't include booster even tho he was gonna be a legend bc i frankly don't know comics so i feel like i can't really speak on his potential. but he's prob at the top bc he is Literally New

this is gonna get long so i'm putting a cut lol

zari: zari's at the top b/c of interviews abt what they had in mind for s8 and one of the big points was her sorta takin the lead as replacement cap so obv i would love to see that, plus her being without the totem cuz she gave it to nate so her seeing what she could still give the team would be interesting

spooner: this is a spicy take but i think spooner is still pretty new and we didn't really get to explore her empath powers much? plus her comin out as ace and i just frankly feel like she was kinda underutilized in s7, like we see her have a bunch of time with astra n gideon but she didn't really get any plot by herself or touch much on everything with her mom

astra: okay in my head astra behrad n gideon are on even ranking but i'm putting astra first bc. i'm sorry i can. also kinda fitting bc i think both her relationships with behrad and gideon have more potential (obv in different ways). like we didn't really have a lot of time to see her and behrad as a couple and i personally need to see it sdkj but also i just want to see her n gideon's relationship and the weird mother/daughter thing they have play out

gideon: this is like. some wild assumption but i think with nate gone gideon probably would step in as the role of 'historian' without bein the AI and i think it'll be an interesting step in her journey of bein human, havin to grapple with her own possible fallibility. also, maybe helping zari with being captain as a former time master AI

behrad: i will admit i'm deep in s6 and all the weed jokes so actually finding who he is without the weed. is of great interest to me. also obv i need more behrastra like i said in astra's point. i must admit

gwyn & alun: i'm grouping them together bc i must. and obviously they still have tons of potential but i think it's harder figuring out where they go from now like? what do u do with two gay welsh men from the early 20th century in a time travel story. the answer is taking them to a 2040s gay bar n trying not to give them a stroke idk. there's potential there but idk what it is as succintly

gary: gary is just. gary. i'm sorry to say. i like him n gideon's relationship but gary has to stick around just bc like WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH HIM. WE CAN'T JUST LOSE GARY. also i like adam tsekhman too much for him to leave

ava & sara: is anyone suprised they're down here? frankly i think they've kinda worn out their welcome n that even a baby can't help the legends do anything interesting with them. especially sara. like sorry ava i love u but sara has winchester disease and it's terminal. also no one wants to see a baby running around.

hi!

I have been reading your blog for the past 2 weeks and I like your fresh take on TK's analysis. So I wonder if you could share your opinion on my thoughts on this whole taennie thing.

First thing first, I'm a Tae biased Taekooker. TK has been my comfort for almost 2 years now. I believe in them but I don't believe in everything shippers said and I agree that there's a possibility that we misinterpreted their relationship. (Although it breaks my heart to think that)

Okay, so bc of that, when the rumour broke, I read so many proofs and debunked posts, trying to find the truth or at least some explaination. I came to these conclusions:

G*rumi definitely had access to insider contents (that Celine pic of Tae, that video).

The most likely to be not fake photos are the celine one, the car jeju one (though that trip doesn't make sense to me, but trust me I spent lost of time thinking about this one)

The NY pictures they posted are not from the same place -> therefore are not hints. The timing of the trip is a bit suspicious to me, though. But tbh if they're real they could certainly find their time to meet up without us knowing. The "proofs" taennie shippers provided are not real tho, "it's the same duck" PLEASE 🙄 The hat is possible tho. He wore that hat the entire trip, if they met up she could have it for a bit, it's not that hard. She doesn't have to be near the golf course, it's not like he only wore the hat to the course.

The celine video/GiF could be real if she changed the angle and zoomed in, right? She doesn't have to take a picture and record the video from the same angle. It's said to be filmed under the table... (by debunkers) idk it's hard to tell. However, there's no sound... weird, if there's audio, and he really said what they thought he said "you like it, honey" Then why would they muted the video?

So, what we have? Only filmsy evidences. The thing is his and the company's silence on the matter. Before the logic of "why would they say anything about edited photos? they have not deny other ships like that before" could be true. But the video is the thing that makes this situation different. You see, it makes this a lot like the Joanna situation. People use a real video of Tae to make a rumour. This video is even worse bc it shouldn't be released like this. At least with Joanna thing, he went to that public event. And they didn't even let the rumour sit for long, immediate responses.

They chose to stay silent this time? Even after countless efforts of fans (not just taekookers) to ask them to defend Tae, protect his privacy. He seems fine to me, indeed "unbothered". Shouldn't he be mad if his privacy is really violated? Why wouldn't they deny it if it's just a stupid rumour? I don't think he needs this kind of media play to climb the ladder when he's already at the top. So is there any truth to it? Bc I really can't find any logical reason for them to stay quiet if his pictures and videos were leaked from staffs and used to make up some nonsense.

I just feel so sad and disappointed bc people are defending him, we all want him to be happy, even taennies. So like if it's not true then we would like the company to address and do something about it. And if it's true then we would support him (maybe not all of us, but I believe we have enough reasonable ARMY to keep the fandom going). I just see no point of people fighting for this instead of being focus on voting or supporting his projects.

So I mean even when Taekook is (sadly) my whole world, if Taennie is real, I would try to be happy for him. I mean I just one some words from them so people would stop fighting, is it too much to ask? I don't mean that he owes us any explaination or informing us about the details of his personal life. Just to know where should I stand bc I love him so so much and it's tiring to see people who loves him fighting each other while they only want to put his interest first.

And I don't understand the heteronormaltivitive idea that Taennie negates Taekook. Like wtf? Why would dating a woman means that he couldn't date a man?

I believe that even if Taennie is real, it would be recent (maybe for a few months or so). And I still believe Taekook is/was real and it's complicated. But I refused to believe there was just platonic friendship between Taekook. I literally woke up in middle of the night thinking that there's no way BH would cut Taekook contents that much if there's nothing between them. There's no way BH would pass on the opportunity to make money on Taekook knowing that they are the most shipped couple in the entire Kpop history. Yet until now we have never had TK subunit, hardly a Vlive just the two of them together (we had like 2 in the past 10 years). Now they are not even allowed to do Live together. There's no way we misread all the signs.

I'm trying to make sense of things. And I don't want to go through the loop of hearing about some new hint, read the debunk, feeling relief, new thing shows up.... again and again.

I'm sorry it's so long but I really hope to hear your and other Tkkrs thoughts on this. 🥺 If somehow you found this post and feel the same, please comment so I can reach out and we can talk more. Bc I feel like this won't end any time soon.

Ok WOW, definitely competing with me with some of the lengths of my posts.

OK let's get the elephant in the room out of the way... If you are a Tae fan (or for that matter any of the boys), regardless of who you ship him with, then you should 100% support them if they are in any relationship they openly acknowledge. Also, if they cast him aside, were they ever truly fans?

However, having said that, I personally don't think Tae is straight or Bi and therefore any relationship with a woman would make me question the relationship.

Regarding, Taennie, I think there is clear evidence to suggest HYBE & YG (with the consent of both Jennie and Tae) are using a suggested relationship for various reasons (to hide Tae and Jennie's relationships with other people, scandal cover-ups and album promos).

Whilst this seems far-fetched, this is the type of media play that most western entertainment companies/artist employ all the time, HYBE & YG are merely just using the same play book.

This twitter thread expresses it in more detail than I could ever do (and trust me I sometimes try), the tread also explains very well why the company would remain silent on the matter, to basically fuel speculation and why/when they might deny it....

Also, I don't we're going to get any denials or confirmations anytime soon.

Regarding the video, I assume it's this one, you're right that with lack of audio is very suspicious, and where is his alleged girlfriend, if you wanted to make their case that the relationship is real that you'd show them both together in the video and/or with possible audio? All this video proves it that is that Tae had a photo taken in that room by someone, it doesn't prove the photo is real.

I know some people are suggesting that Tae was getting ready in his apartment, but having seen an identical apartment tour video, it's not there. I believe that room is in the HYBE building. Also remember, not all the rooms in HYBE look like this:

But if you look behind Hobi and to the right, under the right doesn't something look familiar...

So if in the HYBE building, wouldn't Jennie's presences there arouse suspicion and potential leaks?

Regard NYC, the paparazzi that follow Blackpink around constantly, confirmed there was no meet up. And all the photos proving this and that are ropey at best.

I still don't get why Tae earlier in the month of visited Jeju secretly, to only allegedly return less than a month later, on a budget airline in full view of all the passengers, no tinted windows on a hire car and not a single sighting was made anyone. Other than, an anonymously posted photo claiming it's them on a little known Instagram account and an anonymously tweeted screenshot of an alleged flight attendant posting a conveniently private airline industry app stating a sighting. Not to mention that BTS was prepping for a comeback and a White House visit.

Mr/Mrs Haribo is clearly either an insider or external conduit for HYBE/YG. But they haven't in my eyes proven beyond a reasonable doubt through the leaks, that Tae and Jennie are together or let alone are friends or have any connection.

But in the end, trust in Tae, he will always single his true intentions.

For more of my analysis on this, click on my "is taennie real" tag.

Hope this helps a little.

Would you mind if i asked for a dive (deep or shallow!) into how you characterize Rose? Beta or alpha or both! Ive seen a number of fics catagorize her as mean or cold without it really sticking the landing and was wondering how you went about it, if it was canon material based or disregarded canon for the sake of what story you wanted to tell ect ect.

aww man now i feel bad that i write her uhh mean?? i mean she IS mean, a little, but oifjosifjeoiw

I guess when it comes to Rose maybe it's just more of how I see her? The thing with RNG is that most of the time we only see her, (both them i guess!) through the eyes of people who know her (or them, once again, if we are talking about both Roses lol!). And most of those people are either extremely uncomfortable to start with, or extremely biased and perhaps do not want to hear what she has to say.

As far as Beta Rose goes, I think she is a very funny person, but she's also extremely dry. The interesting thing to me about Rose is that she IS extremely similar to Dirk, in many ways. I said some things about Rose and her similarity to Bro (and by extension Dirk) Here but y'know, there's always more than one little bitty bit to any character.

The thing with Dirk and Rose tho, is that they both want to (read: need to, with reckless abandon) be the smartest person in the room. And they ARE smart, I won't deny that, but I think that it leaves Rose a little guarded in some ways, and unfortunately also in ways that might leave her victim to her own hubris, such as her conversation with Doc Scratch, and falling into grimdarkness and later going to "blow up the green sun" which, as we know, just creates it. they kids say they were "hornswoggled" but Rose did play a particularly big part in this.

But a lot of what I tend to focus on is her dynamic w the other kids! Or I try to, anyway.

The way she talks to Dave is often colored by sarcasm as well as something that reads as irritable tolerance, when he is being particularly annoying, but she can be just as ridiculous with her close friends

But since we mostly deal with her and Dave, I do find their relationship to be hilarious, if somewhat antagonistic even at the best of times

Like???? My god dude lmfao. They are SO funny but they're also terrible. It's kind of my favorite thing about them.

One of my other favorite things, idk how to explain it but like, the way she is surprised that Dave didn't tell Jade that he was going to die, but then turns around and admits she didn't tell John about the tumor because she didn't want to upset him

It's one of those things about her I just Really Like haha. I don't know a better way to explain that.

And she's also extremely cavalier about her own death, knowing she didn't have a way back. referring to it as a "suicide mission" n everything.

I think this in particular is interesting, because it is so... I don't know. Removed. Often times Rose keeps her feelings close to her chest, it feels. But she Decided to knock out Dave and leave him behind. she decided she did not want to risk losing him. She has her kindness, and her softness, it's just! complicated.

And then again sorry I am looking for something in particular but I really cannot get over Dave and Rose they are Too Much lol

Like it's really not about meanness so much as (in my opinion) well-earned exasperation. Also, nice, "i had a baby and the baby is you" reference secured.

And of course there is Rose and her relationship with liquor. We all remember that, I'm sure. if you have been around awhile, you will know that I have a lot of opinions about the retcon, but one of my least favorite parts has always been the robbing of Rose's agency. Like it's absolutely for the better that the Main Canon Rose did not slip down that slope but at the same time, it was a pretty big part of her struggle in relation to identity, and her relationship with her mother.

She even drank in the timeline with Davesprite, during their doomed session.

And I guess I think about this a lot, probably because you know, as I've said a billion other times in different posts, it's easy to feel one way about a person when you never have to see them again.

Things become harder when that person (hypothetically) comes back to life.

But tbh you know Rose actually makes me.... Sad? In that way. a relationship with an alcoholic mother, when you may or may not also have had an alcohol problem in an alternate timeline that you sometimes remember... that's really hard.

But like, Rose talking to herself as she walks around (hungover) on LOLAR is interesting to me. She does talk a little about how odd it feels to be back, and struggles whether her personal quest even matters anymore.

I know we all see Rose as this very Sure of herself person and I think that is often because she is played against Dave, but she's still a 16 year old girl, and she still doubts, and in this instance she wonders if like, Idk there's a lot of weird shit wrapped up in the identity related to Sburb and how it's set to challenge its players, but what happens if those players outgrow the challenges set for it? you know???

and then she fuckin, sacrifices herself for Roxy, and RIGHT BEFORE SHE DIES SHE???? TELLS ROXY SHE LOVES HER??? LIKE SHE NEVER TOLD HER MOM SHE LOVES HER DUDE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT??????

I mean don't get me wrong, when they are united in the final scene and then fight together, it waters all my crops, but god fuck me it sure did a weird number on Rose's character arc.

(The same way with Dave though, I do keep in mind that when she interacts with adults it DOES get weird, i think, because she hasn't spoken to an adult in years, and the adult she DID live with is. Well. Mom. who she has a fucked up relationship with haha)

anyway Idk if I answered anything at all here, it's just some of the stuff I think about, when writing her

Alpha Rose is kind of different because she like, y'know, she exists the same way I built a!Dave and such, to be reflections of the kids worst traits, and I feel like this post is too long, or i'd probably talk more about that! lol. Anyway, she is just a very weird person, but I do think you are right, that she is mean, but I think she Chooses to be that way, and so! yes. Anyway.

Thanks I think! For asking and uhhh yeah! Rose thoughts haha.

#i hope this is anything #it's long for one thing lol #also mostly rng stuff but alcoholism and also u know my general dislike of what the retcon did to a bunch o characters #idk this is all silly maybe #ummm yeah! sorry ifjs;ofijweo;i #i would need a whole other page just for alpha rose i think haha #the run and go fic #i guess lol #sorry!! #i guess my thing with rose is like. dave is annoying lol. she puts up with a lot. but she's not obligated to forgive him #every time he blunders and hurts her feelings like #she's a person! she has feelings! and sometimes she holds grudges #and i think that is okay #yeah! that is all thank u goodnight

Curious what would Alicent’s relationship with a daughter be like ? Elder daughter and hypothetical twin of Aegon’s.

Anon I fear a lot of personal biases may be about to come into this due to my own status as An Eldest Daughter (and just eldest child to boot).

I think first and foremost we need to remember Alicent's mindset when she had Aegon. She was extraordinarily young, she's basically a baby having a baby at this point and had just lost the person she was closest to due to something she didn't have full control over, so her relationship with Aegon (and any hypothetical kid that came before or with him) was tainted from the start with the fact that it was always going to be deeply complicated by the circumstances surrounding that child coming into the world. It's why Aegon and Alicent have trouble being emotionally vulnerable with each other in his adulthood, though that's likely a gap to be bridged after his coronation (fingers crossed that irrefutable proof of unconditional love mellows Aegon out a bit before What Happens). So any other child in those circumstances, even a daughter, would likely have that similar gap, no matter how much Alicent loves her children.

We also need to bear in mind that Viserys is going to be as neglectful as ever, most likely even more so given that he doesn't much care for daughters at all until Aemma was murdered and he felt bad about killing Rhaenyra's mom (does he even remember that Helaena exists? Who's to say?). But while Aegon's internalized that as him being inherently defective, so defective his son obsessed father doesn't care about him, and decided "what's the point" as a result, I think a daughter might have a different reaction. Alicent would be allowed to be more directly involved in her upbringing, similar to the ways we see with Helaena, and thus have left more of an imprint. So while Aegon feels fundamentally unlovable, a hypothetical daughter around his age might instead internalize it to mean that she just needs to try harder for Viserys, and even for her mother whenever Alicent had moments of detachment due to the circumstances of these kids' births. So you'd have someone striving for perfection and to be the best in everything, and I think Alicent would see that and be more openly warm as a response, knowing that similar kind of striving attitude that she herself has had.

I think she'd probably be close to her, closer than Helaena (tho that's also due to Helaena being coded as autistic, which is implied to be part of her issues connecting to her mother), though not as close as Aemond. They'd probably do a lot together, especially "community outreach" type things, visiting the sept and conversing with religious figures, helping out the poor, visiting orphanages like we see Margarey do years later, mother daughter charity work that's bonding time for them and their shared personality traits as much as it is about giving aid to the smallfolk. I don't think there'd be a lot of one on one hanging out, just because (canon universe) Greens don't seem the type to really do that (in my modern AU these people hang out all the time), but they'd be close, if a bit formal.

Ultimately, I'm imaging something like the relationship Marie Antoinette had with her first child, her daughter Marie Thérèse, close with a degree of extra fondness due to this being a child that's entirely her's, without the pressures of sharing a son/potential heir, but with an added stilted quality due to Alicent's own issues and the environment that Viserys fosters in that family in general.

Have I ever post about Boruto here? Cause idk if I've or I just think I've

Anyway, I hate Boruto, kinda. Before. But now it's just Instinctive disgust and indifference.

But my opinion came from the movie and some snippets of Boruto anime on YT, so my opinion is may be pretty biased and wrong.

Do I want to read Boruto or watch the anime tho? No. And I don't have the interest too.

As I said, I hate Boruto for reason. But there's only one that deciding it, making my dislike turn into hate.

That thing is the characterization of beloved chara, turning them into something that with their history shouldn't done.

First, Naruto. We grew up watching this guy becoming Hokage and getting acknowledged by everyone. And then to make some drama, they make him into workaholic absentee father.

Are you serious? People may change yes, even Naruto, but not this kind of change really.

Maybe he was dense and still does but I don't think after all this year he would be so different that he send kagebunshin in his stead on his daughter birthday without the reason of him in really dire emergency.

This is not the Naruto I watch, the same Naruto that somehow becomes the spokesperson of Loneliness™ and make friendship speech about it.

After watching the journey of Naruto, that kind of scene becomes the things that make me hate Boruto franchise.

Second, Sasuke. Still absentee father, but way way worse, to the point that Sarada doesn't even know his face.

It's still drama, but unlike Naruto I can theories few reason. One of them is escaping mentality or he visited but he hide from the sight of his family (like what Kakashi does with Naruto) or etc. Mission can be hard or confidential. But still, Sasuke being absentee to the point of Sarada not even know his face? Really? What about photo? Video? The last bounty poster maybe?

It's just two and I feel so tired already.

Anyway, I don't mind if people can prove that I am wrong with this. Maybe it's can salvage it into something neutral ig.

But at this point I just don't really care about Boruto and their story.

#Boruto #Naruto #i just see some hate thread on x about TR and it's make me think this

[lily-penny]

hehe some very rambly thoughts of mine after the elpis arc

On hydaelyn I don't know I'm really not entirely convinced of the whole You Must Know Suffering to defeat meteion. They didn't have to know suffering, what they HAD to know about was Dynamis. and one guy (and several other scholars acc to him) were already looking into that.

And yes, it will definitely be a challenge for aetherically strong beings like them to control it. but hell, our whole narrative so far has been overcoming impossible challenges. (with the help of hydaelyn and the scions)

Couldn't venat believe that the ancients could overcome such a challenge too? She literally said she won't give up hope. She wouldn't give up hope on US that's for sure, but for her own people?

What did she really do to help them out before going like Only Sundering Is The Way. Because it seems like, even at the end, they didn't even figure out the whole dynamis thing.

-----

I do like (narratively) that hydaelyn did all that btw, don't get me wrong, I think it fits the whole theme with the ancients very well. They're way too much "I can do everything myself".

Venat seems to have decided by herself that the ancients will just keep dooming themselves until nothing is left. When (IT SEEMS) she never gave them a fighting chance (the information about the final days), because she wants them to figure it out all on their own (or that it would damage our timeline, but isn't preserving our timeline already kind of admitting defeat?)

and when they couldn't figure it out, she lost hope and doomed them all permanently by sundering them.

It's good! A foil for ShB i think! Emet Selch tests the WoL in a similarly unreasonable way where she HAS to hold the all the light on her own to prove her people "worthy". But the strength of her people isn't in One Person (Exarch's "We stand together" during the hades confrontation gave me so many chills). And if he didn't freakin gun Exarch down, I think we could've handled the Light together!

Similarly, as a foil, emet is the one that never gave up hope (tho he certainly was by the time we got to him in ShB lol) to bring his people back.

Yeah. I just think venat and hades are like two sides of the same coin. and that's really cool to me. BUT I just wonder if the narrative will treat venat's side like the grey area it is, and not simply some "heroic" act.

I thought the contrast of the unsundered vs sundered was that scions et al shows that there is strength in variety and differences working together to solve a problem vs the unsundered's way of like Only One Perfect Way of things is right (see: hermes' thoughts on creations)

----

Maybe my view on this is like vvv biased against venat because i am very much against any kind of narrative that's like "to suffer is to live". idk it feels too catholic for me lol. to live in a utopia without suffering** like elpis IS the goal, and yeah, while not many will live to see it, it is what everyone should be striving for. "for a better tomorrow" and all that.

** this is a very big question mark too because people like hermes were already suffering in silence. ancient society didn't seem to have much empathy for ppl like him.

[khaleesiofalicante]

I read the new chapter. As usual is was amazing!

also, something I love about your writing is how you always teach a lesson. I'm always learning while reading and I love that. You always teach something through your writing. Thank you for constantly teaching us and helping us learn, and to be better.

Now, can I say the Lightwood-Bane siblings own my whole heart! Like, Rafe calling Max a "lil shit" was hilarious and definitely spot on sibling rep.

Consul Alec is superior!

The Lightwood-Banes are prescious and amazing and beautiful.

Jace and Clary had done well.

^ not me crying at this.

“So, we love them. We love them every day. So, they remember there is good in the world,” Alec said. “We love them so much that in a century or two when they think of shadowhunters they will think of love. Not that room. Not those people. They will think of us. They will think of you and me.”

^ do you want to see me cry? Is that the goal here? You want to see Bec sobbing on the floor?

He knew Magnus would love him until the day Alec passed. But would Magnus be attracted to him till his last day?

^ I want you to know I literally said "Magnus will always see you as that boy with the dark hair and blue eyes, you dork."

David is literally most precious thing, like I want to cry. He's so precious. Also is he going to use a bow and arrow like Alec? Because that would be cool, but if David ends up not wanting to fight that would be cool too. And Clary and Jace would be proud of him no matter what he chooses, I just know.

Simon being amazing at running the Academy is no surprise. We been knew he'd be great at it. But the way he's teaching them about Downworlder history and about Downworlders has me so proud. He literally is changing things just like he said back in his Academy days. George would so proud.

Izzy being the weapons master of the Clave is so fitting. Also, her being the only one to know where the Iron Sisters are and the only one who can get in contact with them, is something that can be so personal. They're biased because they like Izzy so much, I said what I said 😌

Jace teaching his kids all kinds of stuff is very Jace of him. God, I love him. Also, I feel like he prefers to teach them about books, music, and languages at first and then teach them how to fight. As much as Jace loves being a Shadowhunter and fighting, I feel he probably prefers his kids not learning until they are 13, idk it's just something I feel.

Clary being a badass artist is the best! I love her! She literally is a Shadowhunter and an artist, she's both. I love her.

Magnus and Alec being in love as ever. These two. Also, apparently Sagittarius and Virgo are amazing match. And guess what? Magnus is a Sagittarius and Alec is a Virgo. Obviously, they're perfect for each other either way, but there's that too.

Diego is the best Inquisitor we've seen, I said what I said. But also, he seems like a good dad.

Alec and Tessa brotp had my heart.

Also, I can't imagine any of that was easy for Tessa, all the memories that probably resurfaced.

Also, also the way Alec is literally changing everything even tho people don't like it. He said "I don't care." But also the way tmi gang are helping, and how they are all so different and have grown so much.

Fuck the cohort! Fuck those cruel Shadowhunters!

Dude, I keep forgetting that this isn't canon that I'm reading.

Max and David are adorable. I can't wait to read more about them.

Is Rafe interested in a certain Inquisitor's daughter? I don't usually like to force these things, but I'm getting some vibes. If not then that's cool too, but yee. Honestly, their brotp could be good as well. I hope to see more of Rafe and Anjali.

Max really is a handful, isn't he? I love him.

Magnus and Alec are in trouble with their boys.

I want to hug the Lightwood-Banes. Most of all I want to give Max a big hug.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE! BUT ALAS I DON'T WANT TO QUOTE EVERYTHING.

This is LITERALLY amazing.

Thank you so much bebe 🥺🥺🥺

My ravenclaw ass is incapable of writing fics without putting in lessons lmao. My dream of writing crack fics remain a dream 🤭

And you REALLY need to do astrology posts for tsc characters I would love that 😍🤭😎

And here is a stock image of Jace and David. They are baking cookies for Clary and the twins 🥺

#THEY DONT LOOK LIKE THIS OBVIOUSLY SJSJSJ #and thank you so much 🥰🥰 I love your comments #lbaf

[katnissmellarkkk]

Okayyyy here comes the next chapter ! Number .... lemme look. Okay, number six! 🥳🥳🥳

And yes, my thoughts as usual will be a messy, very Everlark-biased and full of typos. Letsss gooooo 🥰🥰🥰

Is this the first time Katniss and Peeta have been to their floor or is this just the most opportune time to explain and introduce the Tribute Center living quarters?

Also why are they called tributes anyway? That word suddenly seems weird to me after nine years... 🤔🤔🤔

“I've ridden the elevator a couple of times in the Justice Building back in District 12. Once to receive the medal for my father's death and then yesterday to say my final goodbyes to my friends and family” .... 😶😶 so only good memories and connotations to elevators then, huh?

“The walls of this elevator are made of crystal so that you can watch the people on the ground floor shrink to ants as you shoot up into the air.” My mind is just imagining the elevator in Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone’s Spider-Man movies 🤗.

“It's exhilarating and I'm tempted to ask Effie Trinket if we can ride it again, but somehow that seems childish” this is so cute and innocent omg. Katniss, like I said in my last chapter blog, still has some childlike innocence left in her 🥺🥺🥺. I’m a sad.

Also excuse the unnecessary extra gif use but 🤭🤭🤭

Oh wow, so Haymitch hasn’t been around since they were on the train? No wonder neither Katniss nor Peeta fled they could trust him for basically the entirety of the first book. 😐😐😐

You know it’s bad when Effie being around feels like a blessing to Katniss. Girl has more restraint than me, I’d have ripped off this woman’s janky wig by now without remorse. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Effie acts like they’re her purebred show dogs. I know I know how is this news, that’s a blatant fact. The movies really softened her up tho for the general audience. And I bleed the movies and books together more than I should 😔😔😔

Well at least she’s made herself useful, trying to get Everlark sponsors ... even if it’s ultimately to benefit herself above anyone else .... 😤

Effie calling Twelve barbaric while she’s preparing them for the slaughter isn’t even ironic it’s like literally just brainless. Johanna probably had the nickname floating around for a lot of people before she officially knighted Katniss with it 😭

“Everyone has their reservations, naturally. You being from the coal district.” Is this how they refer to Twelve? So basically if a district makes a better item, it’s a more worthy one in the Capitol’s eyes? So essentially, if District Eight made like diamonds or pearls or whatever then it would be more worthy? So are the districts assigned their numbers (one, two, three, four, etc) based on their order of importance to the Capitol’s lifestyle? I always thought it was based on their distance in relation to the Capitol? Okay so I didn’t really pay much attention to these facts previously when I read these books ok look away I’m an idiot

Omg 😭😭😭😭 Effie is such an idiot. But the coal turns to pearls thing is my favorite line from her only because it serves as the cutest inside joke when Peeta makes a callback to it in Catching Fire and Finnick is just like “why are these two teenagers so stupid who did I ally with? 🥵😳🥵😳🥵”

“I wonder if the people she's been plugging us to all day either know or care.” After reading Songbirds and Snakes, I’m sure they don’t have a clue, boo. 😑😑😑😑 although not everyone was an idiot back then ... maybe Snow is putting lead in the drinking water?

“But don't worry, I'll get him to the table at gunpoint if necessary.” I know she’s trying to help and I know we say this kind of thing today, but considering this is two kids she’s well aware will be heading into a death match this is just bad wording I know surprise surprise 🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬😬

“Although lacking in many departments, Effie Trinket has a certain determination I have to admire.” Katniss really does see the best in people. What’s sad, y’all, is I think Katniss unconsciously really tries to like people and that’s why she has her guard up so high. Because the softer you are, the easier people will step all over you. Terrible phrasing here, Samantha, I’m so sorry to any of my readers ... okay now that sounded arrogant, implying I have readers 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅

“My quarters are larger than our entire house back home.” Omg? I mean, yes, I knew this already obviously no duh but like also. Just the fact that three people live in a space smaller than a bedroom and bathroom arena is saddy sad sad. Also do they have indoor plumbing in the Seam or is their backyards just full of—okay, I’ll see myself out. 😶🤭😅🙃

“The shower alone has a panel with more than a hundred options you can choose regulating water temperature, pressure, soaps, shampoos, scents, oils, and massaging sponges.” I’m just imagining a Spongebob scene ngl.

I’m sorry there’s so many gifs this time around it’s probably taking us out of the reading headspace I’ll never do it again 😩😩😩😩 I talk like I have a class of people listening to me 🤭🤭🤭

“Instead of struggling with the knots in my wet hair, I merely place my hand on a box that sends a current through my scalp, untangling, parting, and drying my hair almost instantly” I need this someone invent this NOW my brush is yanking out my hair 😔😩

“I program the closet for an outfit to my taste.” ‘Yes, Alexa, I’d like a hunting jacket, some boots and a green shirt. Yes, it can be brown.’

“You need only whisper a type of food from a gigantic menu into a mouthpiece and it appears, hot and steamy, before you in less than a minute.” I like this idea because it means that Peeta could order hot choccy to comfort Katniss after her nightmares in Catching Fire from the comfort of her their own bed. 🤗🤗🤗 also I want this for myself. The bad people are giving my greedy self ideas look away everyone 😬

“I walk around the room eating goose liver and puffy bread until there's a knock on the door.” 🤢🤢🤢🤢 Of everything you could have chosen, child, this is what you decided on? Someone help my girl and her rotten tastebuds now.

“Effie's calling me to dinner. Good. I'm starving.” Baby, you were just eating. She’s so nutritionally messed up. 😔😔😔

Katniss trying wine 🥳🥳🥳 she’s so funny, trying to find a way to improve the taste 😅. She’ll make a good taste tester for her baker husband one day.

Hahahaha Katniss not liking the feeling and judging Haymitch for always being tipsy. Also this is sad because she ends up addicted to morphling later one which is far worse than a little wine.

I’m glad to know Baked Alaska survived the apocalypse 😅🥳

Katniss just constantly trying to decipher the recipe of every meal and how to recreate it reads cute on a surface level but it’s actually so tragic because everything to this girl is based around food. Like even more than is typically noticed. They really should have given a hint at this in the first movie. Good thing she marries a man who can always keep her full.

I’m just forever side-eyeing you, Gare Bear.

That’s Gary Ross for the confused kids in the back.

Why does Katniss yelling mid-sentence, “oh! I know you!” add to her innocence? 🥺 it’s because she was overwhelmed by all the food and new luxuries she’d never even been able to imagine ... and also this is pre her first games so she’s still got some childhood left in her 😩😔

I wonder how Lavinia felt seeing Katniss volunteer and knowing she’d be her Avox? I wonder if she, like Cinna, somehow volunteered to be her Avox?

I mean ... talk about convenient placement that this specific girl was assigned to Katniss’ district—oh wait, y’all, I just caught myself. She’s from Twelve. She was assigned to Twelve’s tributes because she’s from there, duh. I’m such an airhead omg just call me Effie.

Don’t you actually dare.

“When I look back, the four adults are watching me like hawks.” Meanwhile, Peeta is just like 😬😬😬 eating his dinner.

Actually, ngl, this could be such a reach and it probably is but like maybe Peeta sensed a confrontation coming and, because of his implied upbringing, he naturally becomes silent or makes himself invisible when trouble starts looking like it’s gonna arise. 🥺🥺🥺 I don’t know why I say these things I’m just hurting my own feelings but ya know the drill. I thought it so I said it.

Why is Effie yelling at Katniss for saying she knows the Avox girl like omg overreaction much? And I know, the sky is blue 🙄🙄🙄 she’s prejudiced against basically everyone, I know, I know

Rip her wig off, Katty Deen 🤗🤗🤗

Oh I stupidly forgot that Avoxes are supposedly known by everyone to be traitors or criminals. So I suppose this isn’t Effie’s worst offense but I’m keeping a tally anyways

Katniss is blaming her stuttering on the wine but my girl just has social anxiety 😔😔😔

Peeta coming in with a save 😭😭😭 he’s already trying saving his girl 🤧

Alsoooo the unspoken friendship, the covering for the other and teaming up against the adults, is still riding high and going strong here 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 look away, y’all, the shipper comments are coming in strong

Also why is this the first real interaction with Peeta in this chapter yet? My baby needs more page-time 🤭🤭🤭

“Delly Cartwright is a pasty-faced, lumpy girl with yellowish hair who looks about as much like our server as a beetle does a butterfly.” Now why did Katniss just tear Delly to shreds for no reason at all 😭😭😭 this was a surprise assault on the poor girl 🙃🙃🙃🙃

“She may also be the friendliest person on the planet - she smiles constantly at everybody in school, even me.” Okay not to tie absolutely everything back to Peeta ... but to tie absolutely everything back to Peeta ... this description of poor, sweet Delly is actually indicative of Peeta’s character? Since Delly, we find out in Mockingjay, is Peeta’s childhood best friend, her personality being this sunny, kind, good-natured person tells us Peeta has always probably been somewhat like her and perhaps not as much like the other town kids Katniss implies to be stuck up or snooty. Maybe Katniss is just shady and deflects onto others 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️.

Also the fact that she gives this like ... mean description of Delly but saw Peeta as popular, even though surely Delly and Peeta spent time at school together, implies further that Katniss did indeed harbor a secret crush on Peeta even before the reaping. A very mild comparison of his on her though, of course 😅😅😅

“It must be the hair” “something about the eyes too” their piggybacking on the other’s comments really is just chiefs kiss 😘🤗🥰🤧 FYI I know the saying is chefs kiss but I made the typo once a long time ago and decided to add it forever to my brand 🤗🙃🥳

Also though this Everlark interaction is reminiscent of when two kids get caught by their teacher goofing off in class and covering for each other 🥰 only it’s a lot more deadly stakes

“A few of the other couples make a nice impression, but none of them can hold a candle to us.” She’s so modest 🤧🤧🤧 her narration here and during the Tribute Parade just has the vibes of ... well .... sorry in advance

Haymitch’s comment “Just the perfect touch of rebellion. Very nice” leads me to think he and Cinna and maybe Portia were always in cahoots about the rebellion even before Katniss and Peeta came along and well ... lit their match on fire 🥁🤗🤣🤭

Katniss is like “rebellion??? Rebellion where??? What’s that you old people speak of???” And yet, girlfriend goes out to the woods and hunts illegally every day of her life 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

“But when I remember the other couples, standing stiffly apart, never touching or acknowledging each other, as if their fellow tribute did not exist” too lazy too look it up but there’s a quote from Ballad about Lucy Gray and Jessup being distinguished by their visible friendship too that set them apart from the other tributes.

Either Suzanne thought of drawing a nice parallel showing what a failed Everlark attempt looks like, because I firmly stand by the fact that without their real feelings behind their act, even Katniss’ unconscious ones, they wouldn’t have pulled it off, or Suzzie just reused her own content. I prefer the former but I think it’s probably the latter 🤭🤭🤭

“Now go get some sleep while the grown-ups talk." I know Haymitch is being facetious here but this quote reminded me of the fact that the movies would have hit differently if they’d cast actual sixteen year olds in the roles.

“When we get to my door, he leans against the frame, not blocking my entrance exactly but insisting I pay attention to him.” This is such a flirty, high school boy pose, you cannot convince me otherwise 😭😭😭

Also I definitely feel like Peeta is getting more and more confident here because he’s oblivious to Katniss’ inner monologue as much as she is his actually we all are his sadly and he probably thinks she’s starting to like him 🤧🤧🤧

“So, Delly Cartwright. Imagine finding her lookalike here." 🤣 He honestly cracks me up idk why this line isn’t even special or that great. He’s just so ... subtly nosy / funny. Which brings me to that quote from Mockingjay where Katniss talks about his sense of humor because it’s one of the things she loves most about him 😭😭😭

But he’s like, “I can keep a secret, Katniss, tell me who that tongueless chick is to you 😬”

Katniss stop talking about debts, friends cover for the other all the time 🙄🙄 I know it’s in her character stop yelling at a fish for swimming that’s not a real phrase I know that too

Okay first of all, they’re about to share a secret 🥰🥰🥰🥰. My shipper goggles are on tight and obstructing my vision. I know this and am proud 😬🥳🤗

And secondly, “Maybe sharing a confidence will actually make him believe I see him as a friend.” Hey, butthead, you two are already friends. She doesn’t even recognize that the girl who constantly sits with her, talks to her, eats with her and trades with her is her friend either though, I’m shocked she calls Gale her friend

Does Peeta get to know Cinna too? I don’t think so but it’s mentioned now a couple times in this chapter alone that Peeta has interacted with Cinna. Katniss never interacts or has a conversation with Portia.... then again, is that even surprising? Katniss isn’t ... what you would call ... social. Hashtag relatable.

Awww, they’re communicating so effectively together 🥰😭🤧🥳

Also rooftops belong to Everlark only 😍😊😉 I mean, seriously, Katniss never goes up on a rooftop with anyone else. Besides Haymitch in the first movie but we ignore.

“Electricity in District 12 comes and goes, usually we only have it a few hours a day.” Earlier she said the Seam didn’t often have electricity, in particular, so either she’s not specifying her section of the district anymore or Suzanne is backtracking.

“But here there would be no shortage. Ever.” I’ve had two power outages recently so clearly the Capitol isn’t based on us currently today then 😐😐 I’m just joking ok

“I asked Cinna why they let us up here. Weren't they worried that some of the tributes might decide to jump right over the side?” .... boyfriend, where does your mind go sometimes? Peeta’s darker than we realize, y’all 🤭🤭🙃🙃

“He holds out his hand into seemingly empty space. There's a sharp zap and he jerks it back” between this and Catching Fire, Peeta is addicted to getting shocked by forcefields 🤧🤧🤧

“I wonder if we're supposed to be up here now, so late and alone.” If this was a romantic drama or comedy, that line would have meant something a lot more fun 😒😔😬😉😏

“On the other side of the dome, they've built a garden with flower beds and potted trees.” Is this meant to resemble Snow’s grandmother’s garden???? Like he had them put a garden there to like ... put a piece of his Grandma’am in the games? Idk this made zero sense it was a stupid thought

Two people in a garden at night, with wind chimes, sounds romantic in any other context. 🥺🥺

Ummm does everyone in the entire district know Katniss and her father used to hunt together?

Oh nevermind, Lavinia is not from District Twelve. My bad, guys. I should go up and edit my previous thoughts but that’s a lot of work. 😅😅😅

Katniss, stop being so hard on yourself. You and Gale were kids. 😣😣

Ummm, Katniss for a girl always complimenting Peeta’s storyteller, you’re pretty good at painting a picture yourself...

Peeta noticing she’s shivering 🥰🥺

He gives her ... his jacket 😭😭😭😭 such a romantic troupe Samantha, get over it there’s literally children dying

Oh wow, Lavinia was from the Capitol originally. Hmm, it is sus now that she got District Twelve this particular year.

But also 🤧🤧🤧 “he secures a button at my neck.”

His hands .... are .... often .... at her .... neck .... 😶😬 .... look away, y’all

Oh wow, Katniss is over here thinking, “who’d leave the Capitol if they were from here???” And Peeta’s like instantly, loudly, without hesitating, “well I would 🙋🏼‍♂️”

Hot take, y’all ready? Peeta was a bigger rebel than Katniss from the start. At least internally.

Awww, Peeta is so jealous 😭😭😭😭 and kind of nosy 🤭🤭🤭

Katniss : “me and Gale are not related” Peeta : “😬🙃😭😩😶”

“I'd set out to tell her I was sorry about dinner. [...] my apology runs much deeper. [...] I let the Capitol kill the boy and mutilate her without lifting a finger. Just like I was watching the Games.” I feel like this is actually a good comparison though, because of you grew up in a society where you have to watch kids die, your whole entire life you’ve watched it in a glorified television show, you would be really desensitized to it...

“You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope.” Here she’s talking about Lavinia but it applies to Peeta too. Katniss was Lavinia’s last hope and she feels like she let her down but Peeta was her last hope once and he came through. And, as she said in chapter one, she’ll never forget him for it. And for other things too. Later on. 😏

Of course my last bullet point was focused on Everlark 🤣 is anyone surprised you shouldn’t be we all knew who this post was written by right? 😅

And once again, if too made through this marathon, congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥳 maybe next chapter I’ll talk less not likely though so don’t count on it 😅

#thgagain #not even gonna reread this so it’s for sure littered with typos 🥳🥰😅🤭😬🙃😭🤗😏😶

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Who do you think does better job as the showrunner?? Paul Tibbit or Vincent Waller??

Hmmmm gonna say Vincent Waller.

I know this is probably my personal biases. Enjoying modern seasons + dislike of the middle era.

I just find the middle seasons that Paul was responsible for to be so bland and strayed too far away from what spongebob is about.

To be fair, both modern and middle eras strayed far from the original concept of Spongebob but I at least find the modern one enjoyable.

There's a lot of things I could list. The tone for the middle seasons was so mean spirited. Everyone being so cruel and mean to sponge. Even downright violent. Spongebob himself couldn't do a thing without messing up stuff. I can use Patrick as a good example of a character who really became so mean to sponge. Even so much so that there's multiple episodes where they aknowlege Patrick is a bad friend and person over all.

Character designs looked so out of place. They didn't fit the show's style much at all or occasionally weirdly sexualized.

Pacing was really off. Jokes rarely landed and so often there's a weird dead air between characters. Dialogue ends up being so bland.

Animation was so stiff. I get the modern seasons can be too expressive at times but I'd take that over how blank and expressionless the show was during this era. You only ever see them in the same perspective. Their expressions are so boring? Sometimes I feel like you can use the middle eras animation as a guide of what not to do.

I could go on but the middle era already has a lot of scrutiny. Not all of the middle era is like that. There's some good episodes but a lot of it just ain't it for me.

I don't want this all to be just me dunking on the middle era. I enjoy the modern era that Vincent Waller is responsible for. They fixed the pacing issue quickly. No more weird dead air. But they really went in the opposite direction. From nothing going on to EVERYTHING going on. I remember when I was first watching season 12, it made me a little dizzy.

Still the cleaned up most of the issues I had with the middle era. Like Patrick! There's still some duds but I like that they remember Patrick and Spongebob are supposed to be best friends and that Patrick genuinely loves sponge and Spongebob genuinely loves Pat back. I REALLY recommend The Whole Tooth or Patrick's Coupon.

Also the show is finally taking advantage of its bigger budget and actually having movement and expression. Sometimes too much but I don't mind it. When was the last time we had a cartoon with fun wacky expressions? Plus the more extreme expressions were season 12.

Seasons 9,10,11 had a better balance. I feel like expressiveness might dial down with season 13. There's not much episodes have been released for season 13 but the ones that have been seem to be cartoony but less expressive and I like it? I hope they keep going like that.

Oh also forgot to mention. The tone is nicer? Yeah it's not going to be mature™™™ like the classic era is. But its fun and lighthearted. Other characters like spongebob. He isn't treated as a pest like the middle era. Yeah he can be a little annoying but no one is downright malicious to him. It's a lot more fun and I'm also glad we have episodes of Spongebob that isn't just him messing up and destroying things/people trying to kill him ya kno?

Yeah I prefer Vincent's direction for the show a whole lot more. He gets a lot of hate since it isn't classic spongebob. But that's kinda the natural order of sponge. The same happened to Paul Tibbit.

In fact, a lot of the things people say about Vincent Waller is just copy and paste of what they said about Paul Tibbit. Because it isn't classic spongebob.

I feel bad tho for Paul Tibbit? Yeah the seasons he made aren't my favorite but mans got so much death threats and basically people saying weird shit like he should've never been born for what?? For making a few bad episodes?? Y'all okay?? Mans just accepted it. But its so fucked up.

Anyways I'm getting off topic. Who do you prefer and why? I'm curious and wanna know 👀

If this Bruce doesn't adopt Tim I will! But I'm kinda scared for Tim I mean he's either gonna end up with Buce or the titans at some point, im afraid that something terrible is gonna happen his family and then titans/bruce takes him in? That boy loves batman and robin so much like even his family seeing the news knew how much it would upset him although I will say that for the brain that kid has he makes some pretty stupid decisions, hes driving around GOTHAM plastered in the bat-symbol that's not a good idea! the amount of lunatics that roam free in Gotham (and possibly have escaped from arkham) and hate the bat and hes driving around with the bat symbol on him KID be careful!

Some kind of Anti-fear toxin does seem more accurate cuz he's clearly taking something to not be afraid. Maybe it's something he found in Gotham and decided to try it and got addicted so he's using that lab place to try recreate it? and maybe he can't recreate it perfectly cuz in the crowbarring scene he seemed kinda anxious about his surroundings and he'd just taken that inhaler thing to overcome fear so I dunno?? Or maybe he went to arkham to see Crane for some reason and Crane has orchestrated the whole thing and told him about the drug but then wouldn't Crane have to know everyone's identity then? Dude I dunno I need more episodes even tho the low quality glitchyness is painful lol

There's probably an abundance of rooms to choose from at Wayne manor yet Jason takes Dicks old room and keeps the flying graysons posters up! I like to think that he does view dick as an older brother and just took his room to kind of have a connection to him and that he admires him hence the graysons posters being left up, yooo dick calling him his brother! I really want a nice family reunion with dick jason and bruce 💕

Babs was too mean to bruce when she went off like I get where she's coming from but yo lady his son just died dial it down like a notch yikes but also babs being like 'i wonder how long it'll take for bruce to replace jason and dick is all 'what no the last thing bruce is gonna do is rope another kid into this mess'. Cut to scene of Bruces potential robin folder 😅 but I also like that dick was trying to be considerate and compose himself for bruce but once he found out that bruce is idiot enough to pull another kid into this, that that's when he got mad and bruce so brokenly begging dick to come back and be robin 😢😢😢

I know the show is constantly trying to push bruce out/sideline him cuz it's a titans show not a bruce wayne show and I know they're going for a different portrayal of bruce which I'm not complaining about I do like this version of bruce (more than I thought actually) and this universe but I feel like they could have gave more cracks you know, I like that they showed him trying to avoid the reality of jasons death and just not stopping not even for a second and just immediately jump into another case and that breakdown verge where he's begging dick to be robin and then when he finally I guess let's the weight of jasons loss sit on him to the point where he whacks in jokers head with a crowbar just like he killed jason (he could have killed joker so many other ways like a less violent bullet to the head but oh no brucey crowbars him to death!!)

There's a lot of character stuff that i do like but that scene where he's in the cave on his knees scrubbing his sons blood out of the suit he died in, the suit that he only ever wore because of batman. 😢 I feel like they could have had him crack there and let out a gut wrenching scream and then just continue on doing what he was doing as if nothing happened and dick walking in on that should have had more of a reaction!? like he could have stopped in his tracks at the sight of his brothers blood all over his father and bruce screaming, dick could have like took a step back almost like he's gonna run but forces himself to stay there, because who wouldn't want to run from that and no matter how much horrible things you've dealt with before sometimes your brain does just take over against your will and makes you react, the rest of the scene just could have played out the way it did. Literally one ounce more emotion is all I wanted.

No one really emotionally cracked at jasons death. I get that it just happened and that people put walls up and denial can be such a prominent thing when a loved one dies but it couldn't have been that difficult to put in little mannerisms now and again to show that everyone is deeply hurt but holding it in. Honestly gar seemed more hurt to me than dick did. But I do like that dick reacted in detective mode and started trying to figure things out from jasons side so at least there's that.

This redhood is defo not an anti hero he has well and truly landslided into villian territory and I dunno how that's gonna be reconciled? they better not kill him off! and they better not just straight up keep redhood/jason as a full on villian! but if they do get through to jason and bring him back a little how the heck is that little man gonna deal with what he did to Hank?? I feel like they had a bond you know and for all Hanks talk about putting Jason down I really don't think that Hank would actually have killed him even if it came down to Hanks life vs Jasons I think Hank would rather die than kill Jason (but that's heavily biased cuz in my mind jason is my son and I freaking love hank sooo) but Hank to me puts on a hard front like 'yeah I'll get in your face I'll come at you b*tch' but internally he's like 'yeah I'll come at you to help you' 😅 like internally he defo has a lot of soft spots though that's not to say he'd be like this for someone like the joker or scarecrow or whatever guys like that he'd be like no screw you you die or go to arkham like byeee

Nevermind how jason is gonna come back from this though HOW IN THE ACTUAL SH*T is dawn gonna come back from this!!?!!

Random side note here but imagine Jasons first time in the batcave he would be so excited and trying to mess with everything and being like ohh what's that do and pressing random buttons and bruce having a hernia trying to get jason to stop before he accidentally blows the cave up 😅 also he has probably been caught several times trying to 'borrow' the batmobile, I can just picture him trying to sneak down the halls of the manor without the floor creaking and making it all the way into the cave and doing a victory dance cuz he didn't get caught and he hops on into the batmobile in his pj's and let's out a scream cuz alfred is sitting in the freakin passenger seat waiting for him and then they just hang out in the batmobile alfred had the good foresight to bring a flask of tea books and a blanket for jason

Speaking of Alfred I think it would have been more angsty and hurtful if Alfred died shortly after Jason and after a few days Jason claws his way out his grave and the first thing he sees is Alfreds headstone and that's how he finds out Alfred died : (((

This is so long girl I'm sorry I know it doesn't seem like it but I did restrain myself 😅 one more thing before I go maybe this Dick is the absolute worst mf and the reason babs feels betrayed by him and is so upset with him could be that he left her (or cheated on her) with Dawn cuz of that weird flashback thingy in the other season where dick dawn was a thing I dunno I hope not though that would be ughhh

Oh crap, you right about probably something bad will happen to Tim for Bruce or Titans to take him in, I was gonna say he could just demand to be in their lives to save Bruce/Dick like in the comics but he also has kinda shitty parents normally and these people seem cool so really it could go either direction, but like it’s Titans so it doesn’t look good lol. Also, I wonder if it’s gonna be Dick who is basically gonna adopt him this time since we already had a huge track record in just 2 seasons lmao. But I know right, true I like how his parents knew immediately how much the news would effect him 😭 I hope he goes down the making himself robin and forcing himself in Dick and Bruce’s life xD I love that route. Lmao, the kid is all book smart, very little street smart when it doesn’t have to do with outsmarting someone XD

I was also rewatching and that gas he takes def has to be some anti fear toxin cause he mentions fear so many times and flash backed to his near death fall, which he felt was probably holding him and back and thus had to prove himself and adds to whatever is influencing him. But ohhh he did seem pretty dang anxious at the carnival grounds, that’s a really interesting theory but recreating something he found hmm, I can see that.

Apparently according to a YouTube who got to see the first 5 episodes, we find out what his deal is a lot more in episode 5, so one more week hopefully

Brooo trueee, I couldn’t believe jason took dick’s room and like didn’t even change anything. Like Jason looks or at least use to look up to Dick SO much, like in his first episode in the first season, he went on quite a lot about how much he had always wanted to meet him and how much he looked up to him, which is probably also fueling his red hood rage, being hurt by your idol and brother like he did in S2 must have really just killed the boy. But yes omg, there freaking better be a dang family reunion scene like, after so much angst we deserve that 😭

And yesss, I loved seeing how mature Dick is getting and just how much he is growing as a character, the fact he was so calm and considerate with Bruce at first really shows that compared to s1 Dick, only breaking when Bruce tried to get more kids involved. That scene by Brenton was sooo well acted omg, the way he yelled that he doesn’t want to robin again, heartbreaking man. And Bruce begging like that omg

Yeah, this version of Bruce is def so different than any Bruce we have seen on screen before, like def the most emotionally constipated, and that’s saying something xD But I like how they are taking a risk, it also helps Dick’s character more and give him more of an arc, as he seems to be taking on Bruce’s normal role with Jason and red hood. Bro, you are so right omg, like the fact Bruce could have killed the joker in any way and he does it with the dang crowbar. It really shows how broken he really was and why the man shouldn’t depressing any and every damn feeling and emotion lol.

Omg, I love how you have the exact details of what you wanted to happen in that one Bruce and Dick scene 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bro if you dont already you should totally write fanfics cause that was so detailed, I love it

Yeah, I do wish someone cracked (other than Bruce lmao) a bit more, but I do think each character reacted in character though, like it is very Dick(at least this version of Dick, other versions may break down tbh) to put everything into solving the case and figuring out what was up, that’s more this version’s way of caring than just breaking down, like he rarely ever has broken down completely. I think dawn could have been a little more emotional about the death (tho she has enough coming for her lmao). Connor didn’t know Jason that well so it makes sense he would just be sad. Gar seemed pretty sad and in character about it, maybe could have had a bit more, same with Kori, tho she showed it by being almost angry and fiercely protective of everyone else, so I think that makes sense for her. It would have been interesting to see how Rachel and Rose would have reacted though (where did rose go btw?! She would so have a reaction to Jason’s death). But yeah, i wish there was more resolution and break downs for Jason, but also it may have just not felt real since they weren’t there? But I agree

You think? Idk, I think they could def still make him an anti hero towards the end, especially if it’s crane behind the whole thing. Cause if they don’t they are gonna have to go down the gosh awful overused villain gets redeemed while he dies/only to die right freaking after , and I will be so freaking livid if they do that omg. Like they better freaking not. But true, he would be broken by what he did to Hank, oh yikes. But I can see him then that leading to the anti hero path, like he would never go back to be on the titans cause he would feel too guilty, thus giving more of a reason for the anti hero life. But I know, I loved Jason and Hank’s love hate relationship 😭😭😭😭 You know Hank secretly loved the kid and probably saw himself in him.

Yikes poor dawn, you right. Like I have no idea how she is gonna be now like wow.

OMG GIRL, You are on a hc angst train today!!!! That scenario of Alfred dying right after jason and Jason climbing out to see Alfred’s?! Heartbreaking!

But I can’t believe they killed Alfred off so casually tho😭

Omg I swear if they freaking show Dick having cheated on Babs I will be so freaking pissed omg, he better have not! Im hoping they had a more high school romance thing/grew up together then got together type of thing

And omg don’t apologize I LOVED IT and reading your asks!!! I feel ya too!

[domjaehyun]

alright i just finished qc2 and oml that was a rollercoaster ride. i was expecting jaehyun and mark but i was NOT expecting jaehyun and mark. the tension between the two, the glares... now when i say i loved every moment, i truly did. but i'd like to give a special shoutout to day 18. that really had me feeling a bit teary eyed. the way y/n and jaehyun silently worked their way into linking hands without really knowing what was going on. OMG AND JUNGWOO?! i don't even read smut for - 🍪 (1/2)

more under the cut!

for him but my god reading all the scenes with woo got to me. i'd like to mention jaemin and y/n's sex tape too. ik jaemin uses it to get off now. mark?! that boy INDEED got his world rocked. y/n did not HESITATE with him. it was hot. and don't even get me started on the ending. mark's sudden confession as he's leaving? but then johnny coming in and telling y/n that not only does jaehyun like her, but for two months now?! no wonder why he got so defensive about the nude thing and kept - 🍪 (2/3)

asking y/n to stay and that she was his. my mind was all over the place. but like johnny said, y/n cannot just hide from jaehyun forever. not to say i'm team jaehyun but well... HAHA. omg sorry i keep rambling bc there's so much i wanna talk about. like qc2 had a lot to unfold. in the beginning when jaehyun asked if he could finish inside y/n and took up his ENTIRE day just to get tested for STIs? a committed, horny man. but thank u for finishing!! i think the qc series is officially - 🍪 (3/4)

my favorite work of yours!! i'm anticipating the final part! i hope y/n makes the right choice for herself. but do not feel alarmed and take your time with it. i will patiently reread qc 1&2 over and over until the next. but since we're getting close to an end here, may i ask if there will be any action with jaemin, jungwoo, or johnny still? or bc we know jaehyun and mark have caught feelings, will we only exclusively get them? but i love you jizz! thank you for your hard work! - 🍪 (4/4)

LAST THING I SWEAR. when y/n let mark come over and jaehyun was exploding with jealousy (only for y/n to be a bit stupid oblivious), i thought jaehyun would've called up minhee again. BUT ALSO while i was trying to look back and find her name (LMAO) NOW I KNOW WHY JOHNNY KEPT GIVING ALL THOSE LOOKS. THAT BITCH KNEW ALL ALONG. that's why when y/n was like "no jae you already slept over the other night" and johnny said: 👀 or when they were bickering with each other while y/n stormed off - 🍪

i said i was done sending qc2 asks but after re-reading it a few more times, i just have to say y/n and jaehyun were made for each other. not even being biased or anything. i really like their dynamic. with mark, every thing was new and idk i wasn't feeling it. with jaehyun, there was hardly any hesitation to do things. also seeing jae go all softie this chapter tore my heart. idk what i'd do if him and y/n don't end up together. all love to mark tho, i'll take him if he isn't the one -🍪

okay im gonna answer this and im gonna try and go sentence by sentence because i wanna make sure i dont miss anything!!!

hehehe i hope you like rollercoasters otherwise this is n o t a compliment hdfjgsdfjk (i’m kidding) /i/ didnt even expect jaehyun and mark in the way that i wrote them to be quite honest with you afjgfsdkljg and we looooooove tension in this household hehe :D day 18 is particularly tender you’re right i enjoyed writing it a lot!!!! k-drama writers everywhere are found jobless as i take their jobs with the hand holding scene!!!!! JUNGWOOOOO THE LEGEND HIMSELF :D IM HAPPY YOU LIKED HIS SCENES!! jaem and oc making a sex tape was one of my favorite scenes to write omg and mayyyybe mark got his shit rocked so wonderfully bc she’d been thinking about doing it for a w h i l e :) omg and the ending!!!!!! im really glad you guys liked the ending so much :’) yeah johnny was a classic himbo in that moment but you gotta love the guy. jaehyun is really not very subtle about his feelings so it’s surprising that oc didn’t realize what was going on....... she’s got dumb bitch itis and she may not be able to hide from him forever but she may damn well try 👀 no dont apologize youre not rambling i have been rereading your messages for the past couple of days bc they make me so happy!!! honestly jaehyun is a horndog with a heart in like. almost every fic i write i will not lie. eeeek thank you!!!!!!! me too im excited to write it so i gotta get these other fics out of the way first!! there will still be action with the other guys!! (against oc’s better judgment; poor girl thinks with her pussy and not her brain or heart) i love you too darling!!!!!!!! thank you for all this incredible feedback omg and nO he’s not like. a petty bitch he’s a sweetheart nooooo AND YEAH JOHNNY..... HE BE KNOWING™ and oooh its interesting that you say that but i wont say why!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT AND THAT YOU LEFT SUCH INCREDIBLY DETAILED FEEDBACK :’)

I'm surprised Echo made into the finale. I don't hate her but I don't find her interesting either. imo its nothing we haven’t already seen but there's no accounting for tastes. To me the problem is even if the others change I'll still be able to recognize them but she was a minor character portrayed as a kind of "antagonistic" and now she's even part of their family (more than Clarke) and viewers have to care about her without seeing those years. I doubt that works. Maybe they surprise us tho.

I’m surprised too. I figured she’d be like Roan and play a great, active role and get all interesting and then get killed off in the mid season finale. 

You gotta let the characters grow a little. She’s a supporting character, yes, pretty antagonistic, but not solely. Her role wasn’t particularly smaller than Harper’s. I mean, like Harper, minus one season. And maybe more important to the plot tbh.

She had character development. She was a prisoner with Bellamy and helped him though she didn’t have to. She tricked him and saved him from the assassin. But we saw her with Nia and saw her role there. Season 4 gave her a much bigger role. Which showed her character and gave her good characteristics and kind of jerky ones and emotional depth. 

I just. I don’t love Echo, but I don’t hate her either.  And there are plenty of good stories they can tell about her. Why don’t we get a chance for that? Because people don’t like her? I don’t care. And all this stuff that people are saying, it doesn’t really fit what I saw of her. I felt bad for her in s4 even though she tried to cheat at the conclave. So did Clarke. She was cheating because she thought it was the best thing for her people. She was trying to save her people. It was the wrong thing to do, but so was stealing the bunker, right? 

I just DON’T see the interpretation of her as being cardboard or a betrayer. She was far more honorable than Lxa. She cheated as much as Clarke. She didn’t want to kill Octavia. She SAVED Bellamy. She saved Clarke. She showed emotion and regret and sorrow. 

People keep wanting her to be one note and I don’t see a one note character and I don’t see a villain of any more villainy than Pike or Lxa or Roan or Murphy and in some cases, she’s a lot better. I’m talking about Murphy. HE SUCKED. Give him one scene where he’s telling Raven his sob story and people start sympathizing. And he HANGED Bellamy. And peed on a kid. 

Oh but, we can’t allow Echo to switch her allegiance to spacekru because you didn’t see it on screen.

Yes you did. 

She’s ALWAYS liked and respected Bellamy. Always. She saved them from the grounders. She helped them get the rocket together. Bellamy stopped her from suiciding. She worked to get them all air, they survived together even though she was terrible. That was the start. 

You won’t give her the same chance you gave Bellamy when he was a selfish ass. I just watched it again. He was a JERK. 

And it’s really no skin off my back if people don’t like Echo. I am perfectly able to make up my own mind about a tv show, something for which people have gotten really angry at me. 

But you know what? I’m kind of suspicious of this Echo hate. I think it’s less based in text and more based in jealousy. Echo took Clarke’s spot. And I totally get that. She did. CLARKE should be up there. And i even get why people don’t like Echo because of the possibility of B/cho. Even if I don’t feel threatened by that, I get where it’s coming from.

But here’s my problem. I AGREE with being jealous of Echo in space. But the thing is, I would like to SEE that story played out on screen. Echo gives us a perfect foil to show how Clarke felt being left behind, and she doesn’t have to take it out on Raven or Monty or Harper or Emori who she bonded with, but with Echo who had done such crappy stuff. Why does she get to have Clarke’s family and Clarke is left to die alone.

IT’S NOT FAIR, DAMMIT.

BUT IT’S A DAMN GOOD STORY.

And I care more about having a good story than having a story that fandom thinks is “right.”

You know the thing is, it might not work for you. You might be too biased against her to allow her to have a decent story because you don’t want to. We don’t HAVE to like her, even if she is family. It might not work for me, either, but I’m betting it does. Because I’m willing to see what they come up with, in fact, I’m EAGER to see what they come up with.

[his-mochi-cheeks]

Hey there, Ari! 😊

watching Jongin dance is just something I could do for hours and hours without ever getting bored *^* and no matter how revealing his outfits are - he makes it never about that when he dances. never. it's just 100% expression and art. and I am so here for that. and YES that dancing/teleporting scene impressed me so much too 😱🤩

I really hope they get solo albums. both of them. I mean, a Kyungsoo album is really overdue but sometimes I feel like our Minseok is kind of underappreciated. I really hope he gets the chance to show us more of his talent now that he's back 💕 or maybe the two of them get a song together for a start? that would be nice too... ahhh so many possibilities. I hope it's at least one of these and not just SM stating the obvious that the two of them will be back very soon. -.-

my favourite solo albums... let me think... ahh this is so hard because each of them is so very unique and suits them very well. I really love the variety of genres they are able to do. Baekhyun and his R'n'B songs are just a match made in heaven - he can really pull off everything and maybe his albums will be my favourites at the end of the day when my hyping of Jongin's album has died down a bit xD (don't get me wrong. I LOVE Nini's album) simply because Baekhyun's voice is my favourite among EXO vocalists and I always feel so bad saying that, as I don't want to say I don't love the other voices with that. I would have to be deaf to say that! It's just that Baekhyun has a very very unique tone in his voice that somehow hits a spot in my brain that makes me go crazy about it a tad more than about the others. (Probably with the exception of Chanyeol, but I am really biased here, lol.) Nini did something very unique, with new, unfamiliar sounds and it's something I always have and always will fully embrace so he definitely gets 2nd place! The thing about Junmyeon's and Jongdae's songs is that I really can't listen to them all the time. I am no ballad-anti and i love calm songs but especially with Jongdae's albums I was a bit disappointed that he basically only got to sing this one type of song. which he did very very beautifully, of course, and which is probably also something many people like, but ...it somehow really wasn't for me. I would love to hear the Jongdae we got with Watch Out again... he can do so many things with his voice, so I'd love to see more a facetted album in the future - but that's just my personal preference. The same goes with Junmyeon, tho Starry Night and the entire concept of the album really blew me away.

But really, this is just my personal opinion and I am usually very careful in how to share it because it's so easy to get something about it wrong or make somebody feel uncomfortable and that's totally not what I want. That's why this part might be a bit long again (I'm so sorry)😅 kpoppies are just really sensitive about their faves sometimes, so I basically overthought this whole topic so many times - just to be prepared for these kind of questions, haha 😅😅 I love all of the boys and I am proud of everything they released by now, I don't have to especially like something to recognize the hard work behind it and its worth. so. monologue end. I hope I didn't weird you out with it 🙈 but what about you? do you have a clear favourite? Or a favourite solo song? I'd really like to hear about it 😊

Haha, I lost my shit when they casted a girl with brown eyes for the part of young Lily. It really wouldn't have been too hard to make the "eyes of his mother" thing add up but oKAY I guess. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ in general, the cast of the marauders were maybe a few years too old... this i think the actors themselves did super well in their parts. Especially Lupin! It was weird at first but for me it was very easy to get used to it because of their fitting acting.

Haha, yeah the dresses can be really cute if they are well made. But I really can't say that about the pants dudes wear 🙊 But bavarian culture throws me off a bit in general. It might be stereotype but when I think about the whole traditional clothing i just see a young girl in that dress with that wide décolleté serving litres of beer to old drunk men in ugly leather pants. Bavaria is probably the most conservative part of Germany and I'm not really a fan of their conservative views and politics. So yeah, maybe I'm very biased here again. But I would never judge somebody for embracing their traditions. as long as they are not harmful, everybody can do what they want, haha. 🙈

2 weddings? that sounds great! Especially catching up with family you haven't seen in a while. 2020 was a wild ride - I'm sure there will be lots to talk about 😁 It always makes me so happy to hear when families get along really well. You hear a lot of horrible stories of disfunctioning families, so it's always a relief to be reminded that people can be nice to each other- even if most families are definitely not picture-perfect.

My family is not too big as my mom is an only child and my dad has only one sister who doesn't have children. When we take a look at the generation of our grandparents then the family tree would get really broad because they have a lot of siblings or cousins but many of them my sister and I simply don't know personally or they are...well, dead. So it's basically just my sister, my parents and my grandparents I'm really close with.

Oh, I don't know what I can look forward to in 2021 yet! Maybe that the Covid situation finally gets better... Then there would be a bunch of concerts I have tickets for that are most likely rescheduled. 2020 kind of made it impossible for me to have specific plans for the next year, so I'll just wait and see what time will bring. I really hope travelling will be possible again soon! Are there any other events than the weddings for you to look forward too?

I hope you're weekend will be a nice one for you 😊

Stay safe!

Annonie, that was wonderfully put and you are 100% right! His dancing is pure art and when he’s dancing he is like totally and completely invested, it really is beautiful to watch.

A Soo solo album and a Minseok solo album 🥴 idk how I’ll survive that. Tho, as far as I know, Soo has a couple of acting gigs lined up for when he completes his military obligation, like the 3rd AWTG movie and that The Moon one (i believe thats what its called 🤔 can’t remember exactly) so I don’t want to get my hopes up too high. And YES 100% agree that my lil marshmallow Minnie baby IS underappreciated so I also hope he gets a little more limelight now that hes out. (❤ ω ❤) its what he deserves! But again, theres always that slight possibility that SM will let us down... again... lol

Annonie! Listen, with me you don’t have to be political lol you don’t have to worry, please say your opinions bluntly! If you feel something is shitty, please feel free to say so! If you prefer one over the other, say so! Lol trust me, you wont hurt my feelings. Theres a saying that I heard in spanish that translates to “an opinion is like the asshole, everyone has one” lol and I get and respect yours! So later on, if you still want to message me through dm and not these public asks, please feel free to say how you feel 😊 you didnt weird me out at all, I promise. That being said! Which one of Baek’s albums did you like more, City Lights or Delight? To be honest, even tho UN Village is THAT song, I prefer Delight more. I feel like its a more original Baekhyun sound and overall I like the songs that album more than City Lights. Again I normally ALWAYS struggle to pick faves askljfaf but I would say my least favorite of the Exo solos would be Junmyeon’s lol even tho I think the genre suits him perfectly and the MV was aesthetically beautiful! I just, idk, I don’t vibe well with the genre? But among my faves 🤔 Yixing’s recent album is up there. As well as Blooming Days, Delight and What a life. There are a couple of Jongdae’s songs that are always on repeat for me too. 

I hadn’t realized that about Bavarian culture! Thats cool to know! In my ignorance I thought that whole look and custom was a German thing in general. Thank you for clarifying that for me! 😊

Yes Annonie! First my cousin gets married in January and then my (younger) brother gets married in March! Considering the ongoing covid situation we really don’t know how many of our scattered family will be able to come but there will still be some coming that I haven’t seen in a while, so I’m excited! Every family has their ups and downs and their white sheep and black sheep but for the most part our big family is pretty close 😊

 But yeah, its hard to make plans with all this uncertainty huh? I also hope to start going to concerts next year too >:( but we’ll see what happens! 

Annonie! Have you adjusted well to your new home and to school? How is everything going? Have you been able to visit home??
