#hawks you have a whole fucking lot of explaining to do

[gemini-sensei]

@sensei-venus I just got a chaotic af idea for gremlin!Reader. What if she had a cryptic pregnancy? (cw: birth scene, blood)

Like she never knows or even suspects it at all. Then one day when she's home alone, she starts having this awful tightness and pain in her belly and pelvis. Then it passes and she thinks it's okay, but it continues to happen again and again throughout the day. She hates hospitals and doctors so she refuses to go to one and tough it out.

When she realizes it's labor ain't and contractions, it's too late to do anything about it. She has to push. So as the boss-ass queen she is, she delivers her baby on her own. She pushes a good five or six times before he slides out onto her bed. She struggles to sit up but does it anyway to get her baby in her arms, pat his back, and get him breathing. He starts crying so loud that it shocks her. She gets him cleaned up as best she can and lays him on her chest, hoping to calm him down.

All these little baby delivery things she's learned from listening to Moon's midwifery stories. So naturally when things calm down a bit, she calls Moon and is like "Hey, so I just had a baby."

And Moon is like "Haha, that's so funny, Reader."

"No, I'm serious, Moon, I need you to come here now."

She speaks with a certain urgency that's far from her normal, playful tone. It's how Moon knows she's serious and she grabs up everything in her kit and goes to Hawk and Reader's house. Luckily she knows where the spare key is hidden and she gets inside. She finds Reader in her bedroom with the tiniest baby she's ever laid eyes on sucking on her tit. The room is a fucking mess, especially the bed sheets since they're covered in blood and other bodily fluid. Reader doesn't have anything to cut the umbilical cord with so she and the baby as still very much attached.

"Oh my god, how did you... oh my god." Moon can't contain her shock. She's only ever heard of cryptic pregnancies at this point in her career and she never imagined she'd encounter one.

Moon knows about Reader aversion to hospitals, so she doesn't even bring it up. She doesn't want to stress Reader out more than she probably already is stressed out. So she calmly comes over to sit beside Reader, gathers up the messy sheets, and throws them aside so they can at least get some clean sheets in there.

"Sometimes it's hard for first-time moms to get babies to latch on," she says, watching the tiny baby hungrily suckle on his mama's tit. "How'd you manage this?"

Reader kind of shrugs. "I don't know... when he started crying again, I just kinda knew he was hungry and did it."

Reader's voice is so soft and it's a different side of her that Moon hasn't seen before. She's still their gremlin of the group, she's sure, but Reader is so tired after the surprise labor that she really can't expect more of her. Still, Moon takes it as a sign that Reader is going to be a great mama despite not being ready for a baby whatsoever.

As Moon does everything she needs to - cut the umbilical cord, clean up Reader, check the baby - they talk about how this all happened. Reader explains how she had no idea about any of this, she never even had a suspicion. Then she tells her about how much it hurt, how scared she was, and how when she finally realized what had to be happening, she just had to do it. Moon tells her how proud of her she is for staying calm during the whole ordeal and how strong she is. Having a baby is a lot on the body and labor is intense, but she's done so well.

While she's checking the baby, he gets a little fussy when taken away from his mama. However, as soon as Moon starts talking to him, he calms down. He knows that sweet voice. This is one of his mama's friends.

Moon brought everything she could possibly need for the occasion and she's happy to report his good health. "He appears fully developed and perfectly healthy. Good job, mama."

She also brought a number of baby things for Reader, like a few clothes and a blanket, so she wraps him up to stay warm as soon as he's all checked out and cleaned up. Things calm down again and the pair talk about everything they can about having a new baby around. Then they hear the front door open and shut.

"Hey, babe! I'm home!"

It's Hawk. And it's at that moment Reader remembers how she never called or texted him about what was going on. She just took right to taking care of her baby boy and getting Moon over there.

Of whom, Moon jumps up and assures Reader she'll handle it. "I'll go tell him gently." Then she disappears and there's some light greetings to be heard.

Then Reader is pretty sure she hears Hawk faint.

Moon comes back in, grabs something from her bag, and exits again. She uses a smelling salt to bring Hawk back to reality and he jumps up.

"I could have sworn you said, with all the seriousness I've ever seen from you, that Reader had a baby."

"That's exactly what I said, Hawk."

She explains the situation to him before anything else happens.

When he brings her to the bedroom, he doesn't faint again. Instead, he goes straight to Reader's side as quickly and quietly as possible. "Jesus Christ, are you okay? Is the baby okay? I didn't even know you were pregnant- well I guess you didn't either based off of what Moon said, but still. Holy shit."

Reader states at him, then laughs. It's that chaotic laugh he fell in love with and he wonders what the fuck is so funny in a time like this, but also he's relieved because she's feeling well enough to laugh.

"We're fine, Eli... he's perfect."

She smiles and looks down at her baby boy in her arms. He stares up at them, taking in his pretty mama and handsome daddy. He's dressed in a green onesie Moon grabbed on her way out (I think she keeps all sorts of baby stuff to give to parents she works with in baskets she makes for them because she would so do that). It's a little big for him but it keeps him warm and that's what matters right now.

Hawk takes his little hand and holds it, staring at him with a still shocked but happy smile. "Hey there..."

While they're having their little moment, Moon starts filling out the birth certificate. She looks up ever so often to check on them, only to find Hawk holding Reader as they just admire their little one. It's so cute of them.

She stands up and brings the certificate over, showing it to them. She explains what they have to do and ends by saying, "You don't have to have a name for him now. Figure that out when you know."

"I think I know," Reader giggles, looking back down at her baby boy with a smile.

Hawk kisses the side of her head. "What's that?"

"Mason... Mason Elijah Moskowitz."

I wrote a giant Raven Cycle analysis

Hi! Over the last year or so I've been working on a sort of essay about various themes in the raven cycle series, and I finally finished it a few weeks ago.

It is titled: "Why I love The Raven Cycle - An excessive analysis of the themes of friendship, queerness and growing up".

And since tumblr loves its meta (and bc I love peer validation) I've decided to start uploading it bit by bit here, making this the masterpost (if I can figure out the logistics of the linking lmao, bear with me)

(beware of spoilers up to greywaren starting at like 3b!)

Introduction

What even is the Raven Cycle?

Trust me, the characters are queer as fuck and I can prove it a) Blue Sargent b) Gansey c) Adam Parrish d) Ronan Lynch e) Noah f) Henry Cheng g) Honorary mentions

The Gangsey is a polycule

Analyzing the reoccurring themes a) Friendship b) Being a teen/growing up c) (Found) Family d) Magic (as a metaphor) e) Further themes I appreciate

Drawing a conclusion

Click here to start with the introductory parts!

1. Introduction

So here’s the thing: I love fiction almost as much as I love my friends. There’s something deeply comforting about the escapism, even if the book actually makes me want to scream and throw it on the floor (only one book has been thrown so far, I promise!).  Fiction is a healthy thing to occupy my thoughts with: headcanons! Quotes being on loop in my brain! Just fandoms!

And for me, if I am hooked on a book (series), it does not even need a good plot where a lot of things happen. In fact, I would say that my enjoyment of a book is made up of 30% plot and about 70% characters and vibes. If the characters are bland, if they do not make me feel much emotion, it likely won’t be more than 4 stars (additional info: I am way too nice rating books!). I really, really need to love the characters, to be able to relate to some aspects of them, or it just won’t become an obsession.

Since I have already started explaining that a bit, let’s look at this question: What is important to make a book special to me? 1. I need to cry reading it. 2. I have to think about it often, even weeks to months after having read it. 3. Obviously, I need to love the characters. 4. I need to be in the fandom! This can be hard with some books, but the internet is a whimsical space allowing you to find at least a small number of people who are obsessed with a work of fiction to a similar extent as you are.

Now, why am I elaborating on this so much? It’s because The Raven Cycle did all that for me. It is my favorite comfort book series at the moment, for all those aspects mentioned, but of course I cannot just leave it at that. No, I wrote a whole-ass analysis on headcanons and some of its themes. You’re welcome.

2. What even is The Raven Cycle?

The Raven Cycle is all I adore and live for (next to my friends). So, naturally, it’s a book series, specifically a four book young adult contemporary fantasy series by American author Maggie Stiefvater. The books in question are: The Raven Boys (2012), The Dream Thieves (2013), Blue Lily, Lily Blue (2014) and The Raven King (2016), and yes I will admit that the publishing dates are a bit of a red flag. There is also the very relevant follow-up series called The Dreamer Trilogy (Call Down The Hawk, Mister Impossible, Greywaren), but it’s a lot less easy to get into that here as I do not know these entire books by heart, so I’ll stick to the original tetralogy here.

To stick to red flags, the books are set in the fictional Henrietta, a rural town in non-fictional Virginia, US, in the 2010s. However, that doesn’t really say *that* much about the plot, so let me summarize that really quick, because I can do better than the official synopsis! (Or let’s pretend I can.)

Blue Sargent comes from a family of psychics, yet she does not have any powers of her own. Even worse, she is a bit of an amplifier for the others, meaning she is always somehow but never directly involved in the business. As if that isn’t enough for an identity crisis, every psychic she has ever met has told her that her kiss would kill her true love. Yikes.

But because she is that amplifier, she comes to a church watch on St. Mark’s Eve, where psychics see the spirits of those to die within the following year. It’s important business, but to her it’s really just staring into the dark. Until she does actually see a spirit: That of Gansey. Of course this is not a coincidence. No, to add to this teen’s mount of problems, there are only two reasons why a non-seer would see someone’s spirit: They are their true love, or they killed them. Or, in Blue’s case, maybe both.

The aforementioned Gansey is Henrietta’s Golden Boy, the son of politicians (read: he’s fucking loaded). He does not run with the Republicans though, he runs with dead Welsh kings, meaning he has been searching for the probably dead, presumably sleeping Welsh king Glendower (*1350; †1416; yikes) for the past like seven years. Why the fuck would he do that? Well, legend says that he will grant a wish to whoever wakes him, and our favorite PTSD-ridden guy really wants that favor.

Aiding him are fellow Aglionby students Adam Parrish, Ronan Lynch and Noah Czerny, plus Henry Cheng, though only a lot later in the series, but I really did not want to leave out that menace (affectionately) here. The paths of Blue and the boys cross because of Gansey’s search for Glendower, plus the fact that Blue works at a popular pizza place, but that’s a lot less whimsical. And, well, there’s the implication that Gansey might also be her true love, but perhaps she just kills him because of his bad fashion sense, it would be justified. Anyway, in true Famous Five fashion (Ronan is the dog; I won’t elaborate, the girls that get it, get it) they are of course not the only ones searching for the king, so it’s not completely a wholesome friend bonding activity all the way through.

Be prepared for: friendship and growing up, lots of treasure hunting, family mysteries, magical forests, illegal and slightly distasteful activities (our favorite of course), but most of all, heavily queer-coded (or even canonically queer) characters. Be Gay, Do Crime.

[disasterarea-podcast]

Okay, I know I probably don’t need to explain this to all of you, but also I want to talk to *somebody* about how I wish I had the sort of pull that would let me see “Society of the Snow” before it ends up on @netflix on January 4th.

“Alive” came out when I was in high school. I was a sophomore, I think? I just know I watched it a bunch for historical reasons (disaster! Survival! Struggle!) and superficial reasons (I was sixteen and Ethan Hawke was in danger!). It was on HBO a lot back then. Or it felt that way, because I watched it every time it came on.

As per usual, I watched the movie, so I went and got the book. (I have an Audible credit, so I’m preordering the audiobook of “Society of the Snow” for work. It comes out in a couple of days, FYI.) The movie is … sanitized, to say the least. They can’t avoid the eating of the dead, or showing it on occasion. But in real life, the situation was more blatant, because … well, who are you going to hide it from? They ate everything else, or at least tried to, before resorting to the dead. And then when they did resort to the dead, they ate it ALL.

The thing is, Uruguayan culture was heavy on beef. “Alive” (the book) describes it the way the Irish depended on potatoes. Eating the dead was difficult, but as Catholics they were able to talk it out and tie it into the rosary and taking the body and blood of Christ into their own. I’m not even a Catholic anymore, but I think even my latent Catholic training might kick in just a tad to help reassure me in a situation like that if I had doubts. (Note: I have been doing this podcast for WAY too long. Survival cannibalism wouldn’t even make me bat an eye at this point.)

My point is that in the real situation, the survivors used everything. And I mean everything. There were only three or four parts of the body they couldn’t eat - I think the genitals were on that list, but don’t quote me on it - but the rest? They picked the bodies clean. They needed to. There’s a photo of the survivors sitting outside the plane, hanging out, smiling for the camera. It’s usually edited. Everything else is kept, but what is usually clipped or blurred is a very clear shot of a human spine, not a spot of meat left on it, just … lying there. It might as well be an airplane seat, or a discarded jacket, or any of the other items scattered about.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for every single one of the people who went through that ordeal. The details are traumatizing enough without having lived through it. Every time somebody makes a “rugby players eat their dead” joke, I cringe.

So here I am sitting watching “Alive” again, because fuck it. The thing is, I have a fondness for this movie based a lot on high school and watching it lots and it introducing me to a survival story I’d never heard of. But I would always be the first to point out I’d love a redo. It’s not as accurate as it could be, it’s in English, it misses out on things like Carlitos Paez’s father searching for him and the others the whole damn time and the reception after they came back.

I’m hoping “Society of the Snow” has all of the things the first movie lacked. I want to see the reception when they came back. I can’t wait to see Carlitos playing his dad, and I hope we get that moment where he reads the list of survivors over the radio and his voice breaks when he gets to his son’s name. I hope we get the reality of survival cannibalism — that it’s not murder, that it’s not pretty, that you might get a little blinded to the horror of the reality.

The trailers for “Society of the Snow” gives me hope it does the story the justice it deserves. There are so many disaster stories that, while they may have gotten TV movies, I would love to see done for the big screen. Hillsborough. The Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. The Galveston Hurricane. The Johnstown flood. But honestly, the trailers for “Society of the Snow” look gorgeous and respectful. Let’s do more movies like this for more disasters.

[moongothic]

So I have a Crocodile theory that I've been sitting on for a while. I have absolutely nothing to prove any of it whatsoever, and the only thing that really propels me to believe in it is that I think it would be cool if it were true.

I think Crocodile may have gotten his start as a cabin boy for the Rocks Pirates the same way Shanks and Buggy got their start with Roger. The trust issues would naturally follow from the way the Rocks Pirates probably turned on each other immediately following Rocks' death during the God Valley Incident. Seeing the crew you grew up on turn in on itself would make anyone wary of trusting others I think. It might also explain a portion of the animosity he had for Whitebeard as well. Obviously a lot of it comes from their clash during Croc's warlord days, but it might explain why he was so eager to go after Whitebeard in the first place. Him being at God Valley would also provide a solid point where he could have run into Ivankov, and potentially where Ivankov could have gotten some dirt on him, depending on whatever that dirt ends up being in Canon.

Even wilder speculation, but I think Mihawk might have been there as well. The two just seem to have this weird, unexplained rapport that doesn't yield itself to a whole lot of options other than a previous connection. They get in a fight at Marineford, and Crocodile walks away alive despite him being well below Mihawk's level. Croc feels it's enough to just let Mihawk know he's "in a real bad mood" and that seems to do the trick. Mihawk is the first person Crocodile talks to about his Cross Guild venture, and Mihawk doesn't take long to take him up on it. And Mihawk, in general, also just kind of lets Crocodile talk at him a lot for someone who was introduced to us as a person who would hunt you down for just interrupting his nap.

Like I said, I don't have a shred of evidence for any of this at all, but I do think it would be cool, and might explain a few things.

"Would be cool if true" THIS IS WHAT FUN THEORIES ARE BASED ON 👏👏👏 We're HERE to get EXCITED about COOL IDEAS

Honestly I much prefer "random cabin boy for Xebec" over Xebec's son on just vibes alone, but also it'd make Crocodile losing interest on Whitebeard in Marineford much more palatable. Because if Whitebeard betrayed his dad on top of kicking his ass then surely he wouldn't assist in saving Ace, regardless of what his relationship with Luffy and/or the Revs may or may not have been. But if he was a cabin boy, yeah, that'd give him the trust issues but without it being THAT personal

Not sure if Mihawk would've been on the same ship though... IDK looking at the bby Shichibukai art, bby Hawk looks quite messy and disheveled compared to bby Croc- if they were raised in similar circumstances on Xebec' ship you'd think their art would look about the same. Also if I'm not misremembering, Crocodile would've been 9 during the God Valley incident, and Mihawk is 3 years younger than him so he would've been just 6. I dunno, if anything I'd be more willing to bet money on Moria having been on the ship with Crocodile instead (since he would've been like 13, and based on bby Moria's art he looks like he kinda matches with Crocodile, that said there's nothing to prove the two have any kind of shared history whatsoever)... But yeah, if Mihawk was 6 at the time, I kind of doubt they were BOTH on Xebec's ship

That said. I'm fucking sure Crocodile and Mihawk have SOME kind of shared history. There's gotta be fucking SOMETHING, at SOME POINT, because yeah, as you said

Crocodile telling Mihawk he's in a shit mood is a passable warning to give to from like One Dangerous Warlord to Another, but it takes on a whole different tone if they knew each other a bit closer

Who knows, maybe they were both cabin boys on the same ship for someone else a few years later though, hell, for all we know Mihawk could've been on Crocodile's crew for a time

Also based on Kuma's flashback, we do see Kuma visit Mihawk's island in chapter 1099, and in 1100 when Mihawk sees the news of Kuma joining, he's awfully quiet. So if Mihawk and Kuma may have known each other even just briefly, yeah. Why the fuck couldn't Mihawk and Crocodile have some history too.

There's also this bit from Croc and Hawk's phonecall that interests me

The "..." in the flashback panel

Like it's very normal for Oda to signal a character is thinking about something without saying anything about it by doing the little "..." (for example, Robin would've been well-aware of Moria as she did work for a Warlord herself, making this panel from Thriller Bark quite interesting), hell the phonecall flashback both begins and ends with Mihawk having simple "..." thought bubbles as he's thinking back to it

But the fact that he's Having A Thought about Crocodile being like "we're the same bro"... Oh they gotta have somekinda shared backstory somewhere, they've gotta, surely

And indeed, despite the fact that the two aren't supposed to trust anyone, they sure seem to trust each other enough to start a marine hunting organization together

(Also an interesting detail that, since we know they both hate the Marines a lot, so them starting an organization with that shared goal is just. Yeah. Interesting.)

One additional note I wanted to make because I just noticed this while browsing the Wiki; of the OG Warlords Mihawk is one of the few who we have no idea when he joined the Shichibukai, the only other one being Moria

I really would be curious to hear when and how Mihawk joined, 'cause for all we know, he might've joined around the same time Crocodile did, which would definitely be interesting...

Man. Like I'm not particularly interested in Mihawk's backstory on its own, but if his backstory was somehow tied to Crocodile's... Oh I'd absolutely love to hear it. ODA PLEASE, SPILL THE BEANS

#Moon posting #OP Spoilers #OP Meta #Sir Crocodile #Mihawk #Asks #Long post #It would be like super fucking cute if it turned out the two were like childhood friends or something #Who just drifted apart with time #I dunno I am not immune to CrocHawk #Sidenote if I do get an Extended Crocodile Flashback I'd love to see the who were the actual original 7 Shichibukai WG hired #'Cause if I'm not mistaken the Government specifically came up with the Warlord system during the begining of the Great Pirate Era #Meaning it's very likely the system has only been around for 22-24 years #Which means it is very possible Crocodile could've been one of the OG-OG seven #Would love to see that line up one day just for the hell of it

MUTUAL U GET IT. GAIL SIMONE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T DETRANSFORM IF THEY'RE CRITICALLY INJURED + THEY BLEED LIGHT AND NOT BLOOD.... she has no business writing them it just cements more people's perception of hawk and dove as misogynist x "i can fix him" AND IT GENUINELY PISSES ME OFF SO BAD don't even get me started on whoever had the bright fucking idea to put compassion as one of dove's superpowers and decided that they were war and peace instead of chaos and order

YES

Don't be too hard on Simone though, I'm sure that she didn't eagerly sign up to work with Hawk and Dove as characters. I think that's a large problem with a lot of the less well-known characters in big super teams. It's why we see Hawk flying in a lot of works when he famously cannot do that and has no interest in doing that. Dawn's whole personality of being a sweet good girl that can't look at a shirtless man without getting a case of the vapors definitely was a major rewrite that I can't explain or justify, but it's probably not Gail Simone's fault. We've seen her handle intricate relationships between women and men, so the only thing I can think is that DC said "These are Hawk and Dove, we'd like them to be included" and then she was probably handed a small passage of their powers and personalities. You can't expect every author to read every instance of a character appearance, unfortunate as it may be. I'd rather they just weren't in it, but it does give me some fun ideas about where I would have taken it.

I think it's sad that Barbara doesn't mention knowing either of them, especially since Hank's mom WAS HER PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Also Barbara having to read Hank down because "this team is led by a girl, got it, bub!?!?" when he's ONLY EVER BEEN ON FEMALE LED TEAMS and NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY FEMALE TEAM LEAD (except for that one time he famously was not a good team member but that wasn't because Donna was a girl-) is a big yikes.

The biggest failing of them in those books, in my opinion, is the fact that they're just sort of There. They fill a slot in the Birds of Prey team and don't get any screen time dedicated to their own conflicts. Hank has a weird subplot about being emotionally numb after his revival and being horrified at the idea of coming back to life, but Dawn was also just revived and we don't get to hear her opinions on any of it. Big mess.

Me sitting over here with another au of an au of an au:

Basically: worst timeline Jasper survives. (Either he finds hawk Hunter or Darius makes it to the final battle too and is there to help save him or something else.)

But SOMEHOW, one way or another he lives. Which is fun because then we get to see a MH!-esque let’s-get-Jasper-used-to-normal-life situation but it’s so much more fucked up and he doesn’t really have anyone close to him. Hunter was constantly being beaten by him and probably doesn’t want much to do with him other than getting answers. Same with Darius, I imagine.

and I would guess a whole lot of people would just want him executed or behind bars, too. lots of fun stuff.

AT ONE POINT WE ARE GOING TO GO TO DEEP AND DISCOVER THE ENTRANCE TO HELL OP

Anyway.... Darius stumbles into the pit and the ruins and finds jaspers still warm body with tears in his eyes and he's like LIKE FUCK YOU GET TO CHECK OUT NOW ASSHOLE and starts doing fucking cpr

Imagine poor jasper waking up like a day later because they found a healer to fix him and now he's alive and it's all extremely fucking awkward

"hey bitch. Why did you turn out to be such a cuck" "oof. Boy I was kinda hoping I would die before I needed to explain myself"

Imagine HUNTER coming back from the human realm and the last time he saw his mentor, who's name he doesn't even fucking know, he was seconds from death and alone in a dark pit and now uhhhhh. There he is I guess

BnHA Chapter 340: Now Where Were We

Previously on BnHA: Deku and Iida were all “hey Mei, I know you don’t have a lot of spare time in between constantly launching yourself at people boob-first, and singlehandedly MacGuyvering U.A. into the fucking Death Star, but we were wondering if you could lend us a hand in fixing our costumes.” Mei was all, “sure thing, here’s an upgraded pair of Movie 1 Gloves for you, anyways off you go and have fun saving the world!” Mt. Lady was all, “can you kids keep a secret?? so uh, just between you and me, I’m not a real teacher, and I’m not actually sure what I’m doing here hanging out with you guys right now.” Class 1-A was all, “don’t worry, your secret is safe with us Mt. Lady, well anyways time to assemble our CLASS 1-A SEARCH SQUAD!” The chapter ended with A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE getting ready to DO and/or TALK about A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS. Classic cliffhanger ending. lol this chapter really did not hold up on a re-read. I’m so sorry BnHA 339. You meandered so that future chapters could hopefully get to the damn point already.

Today on BnHA: All Might is all “time to reveal our shocking and completely unpredictable battle plan of splitting up all the villains for more easily digestible mini-boss battles, using our newly acquired trump card, the handy dandy U.A. traitor!” Aizawa is all, “[cracks knuckles] time to drop some motherfucking love and compassion onto my traumatized student in order to talk him into doing this INSANELY DANGEROUS TASK for us, except that somehow I manage to do it in a way that’s genuinely moving and heartfelt and somehow not manipulative at all lol.” Shinsou is all, “hello, it’s me, making my miraculous return after three whole years of plot inactivity, so anyway what have I missed.” Well shit. Glad I’m not the only one, Shinsou.

---

(just a handful of quick notes here since it’s been a while! (1) as always, these are my completely blind first-time-reading reactions to the chapter. (2) as of today, I am very much NOT caught up with the manga, but will keep you posted on my progress. currently I have read up to chapter 340, a.k.a. this chapter right here lol. and (3), I have been spoiled about one major thing (explained more in depth here) which will happen later in the series, and while there are no detailed references to said spoiler in this post, there ARE a couple of vague throwaway lines because I have absolutely no self-control. so just giving you guys a heads up for that! if you absolutely don’t want to risk getting spoiled, I would highly recommend catching up with the manga first before reading any further.

anyways, onward!)

OH MY GOSH IT’S SOME BUILDINGS!!!

WHAT A THRILLING WAY TO KICK OFF MY FIRST NEW CHAPTER OF BNHA IN ELEVEN MONTHS. TRULY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

lol they literally just thumbtacked a handwritten “LOV/PLF COUNTER-FORCE HQ” sign on a wrinkled piece of paper next to the door. how far we have fallen from the days where the heroes were holding their war councils in huge NASA ground control rooms filled with hundreds of TV screens

okay good, at least they went out and recruited Hawks to be one of the people presumably planning this whole thing

one of only two people (the other being Momo) whom I actually trust to be able to come up with a reliably smart plan. fingers crossed this turns out better than his last big Ultimate Hero Final Battle Plan, though!

interesting! I assume they do still know about the whole Aoyama situation though, seeing as they even told Mt. flippin’ Lady lol

OH MY GOSH, RAGDOLL? heck yeah. great to see her finally back in the thick of things again. even if she can’t participate in the actual battle, she’s still a fucking hero goddammit

wow this entire next page sure is something

“every pre-cat-ion” breaking news, we’ve just been informed that there is a warrant out for Caleb Cook’s arrest

MEOW

MYEAH?

NOT YOU TOO, HAWKS

EVIL MEOW

I know that last part is just her randomly tacking her cute dattebayoisms onto the end of this entirely unrelated sentence, but unfortunately the damage has already been done. now all I can think about is the League of Villains out there rampaging in the streets and meowing menacingly at people

anyway, so on to the planning and stuff

lmao wait, what

DID YOU PAINT THESE BY HAND, ALL MIGHT?? DID YOU BUY THEM LAST MINUTE ON ETSY AND PAY A FORTUNE IN EXPEDITED SHIPPING. surely it must be the latter. but can you just imagine All Might sitting at his kitchen table at 3am, hand-painting a refrigerator magnet to look like an adorable chibified version of HIS MOST HATED ENEMY

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I’m actually on the fence about this lol. I mean, it makes sense on paper. lord knows they had enough trouble taking on just one massively overpowered final villain, so who even knows what would happen if they added a second one to the mix

but the problem with the “just take them down separately” plan is that it means they’ll also have to split up their OWN forces, which are already heavily depleted. not to mention that the BnHA heroes are always at their best when they’re all fighting together. so anyways, yeah, I’m not too sure about this

so blah blah blah, Tomura is now stronger than crusty!potato!AFO, big surprise. and they’ve also figured out that the two AFOs can communicate with each other via radio waves or whatever. okay yeah, but doesn’t that mean that even if you do split them up, they’ll still have a big advantage? unless you figured out some way of jamming their telepathy somehow

“should they attack together, we have no hope of victory” lol if you say so. I’m pretty sure all of the U.A. kids combined with all of the remaining A-list heroes could hold their ground fairly well, but clearly I’m not supposed to be questioning the authority of this statement so ALL RIGHT THEN

OKAY BUT DOESN’T THIS JUST PROVE MY POINT THOUGH

“if they’re so powerful together then why didn’t they team up against S&S?” “because they definitely would have definitely lost.” ????????

anyway so now All Might is saying that they need to separate TomurAFO and Potato AFO (PotAFO, if you will) by at least 10km. so is that the max range of their telepathy or something then? that’s so oddly specific though

“oh and we also need to split up Dabi from them as well” ah okay lol, I see where this is going. it’s finally time for the final battle, meaning we need to assign each of the main characters to their personal final villain, yeah? great. awesome. except that they only JUST got reunited all together as a class again sob. you’re really going to do this to me again now?? just like that?? goddammit

LMAO I completely forgot that Nao’s right hand man is an actual literal fucking cat

oh my god. what I wouldn’t give to have seen his reaction to all of those puns and MEOW shenanigans from a few minutes earlier. just standing there in the corner with a disapproving frown. “I’ll have you know I find this all very demeaning and culturally insensitive” sorry about that Sansa

anyway so now All Might is all “YEAH EXACTLY, WE HAVE TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER ALL OF THE VILLAINS ONE ON ONE! WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SPENT ALL THAT TIME PAINSTAKINGLY BUILDING THEM UP FOR?? IT’S THE FINAL BATTLE FOR FUCK’S SAKE, WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE US DO, MAKESTE” okay okay fine I’ll shut up now, geez

oh shit lol

somehow I momentarily forgot all about Aoyama. possibly because I haven’t seen him in eleven months!! so this is where we’re finally going to get into the nitty gritty of that “let’s use Aoyama to set a trap” plan that Aizawa shamelessly stole from Kaminari all those moons ago

All Might is all “it’s actually pretty messed up of us to be using this poor boy when he’s already basically spent his entire life being exploited and manipulated by people” and he’s not wrong though, damn

but Nao is all “very true, but to be fair this is the literal apocalypse, and he did technically make his own bed, and also our backs are REALLY against the goddamn wall here,” which is also true. still leaning more toward All Might’s side in spite of that, though. poor Yuuga

OH SHIT, SPEAKING OF???

OH DANG

do they really have to keep him tied up like that?? he’s just a kid for fuck’s sake. and it’s not like they aren’t capable of handling things if he does try to escape, I mean this is Aoyama we’re talking about here, he’s not exactly an all-powerful criminal mastermind

man they both look so fucking sad. Yuuga looks so ashamed. this is every 1-A child’s worst fear. they can go toe to toe with the scariest villains out there and not be fazed. but a disappointed dad??? have mercy, sweet jesus

“so after going back and forth on it a bunch, we finally decided that he’s probably not going to blow up.” thanks for the update, doc. meanwhile I just had a completely unrelated thought about certain spoiler related things, oh fuck. but now is not the time to start speculating about that! not when we have the world’s saddest detention session unfolding right before our eyes

Aizawa Shouta is sitting here wearing an eyepatch and a hospital gown and probably hasn’t showered in like three days, and despite all this he is STILL somehow the hottest character in BnHA and it’s not even close

okay but there are like a thousand reasons why the threat of imminent murder would be infinitely more useful than an actual murder, though. like this doesn’t really make any sense. “why would AFO bother to threaten Aoyama if he could simply blow him up if and when he betrayed him?” uh, gee, maybe because he would much prefer if Aoyama didn’t actually betray him in the first place?? what, do you think U.A. traitors are so fucking easy to come by? in this economy??

awwww

I mean, of course he is? :( man, and now I’m wondering if there’s been a single day since his enrollment at U.A. that Aoyama has not spent being constantly terrified about a whole damn slew of things. this poor fucking kid. Horikoshi please be kind to him oh my god

oh my god, yes, exactly

he’s afraid that deep down he’s a bad person. he’s afraid that AFO will kill him. but interestingly, what he’s most afraid of, is BEING afraid. he’s afraid that if the others put their trust in him again, that when push comes to shove he’ll still be too cowardly to do what’s right

talk about ironic though. because to me, that’s a sentiment that basically confirms that he does have the heart of a hero deep down. I’m telling you guys, every single time you show me a character who is flawed and afraid, but is trying so hard to overcome their fears, and trying with all their might to become better, you will reel me in hook, line, and sinker every. single. time. seriously, how could you possibly not root for this kid now

OH MY GOD YUUGA NO

holy shit. hey Horikoshi, this is me, a certified angst-lover, asking you to tone it down just a little here, goddamn. yes we get it, he is tormented by years’ worth of accumulated fears and regrets and feelings of worthlessness and he doesn’t see any way that things can possibly get better, holy shit, we get it okay??? THIS IS MY FIRST CHAPTER IN ELEVEN MONTHS! THIS SHOULD BE AN OCCASION OF TRIUMPH, SO WHY THE HELL ARE YOU OUT HERE MAKING ME CRY

HOLY SHIT

somehow I forgot just how utterly ruthless this man is capable of being for the sake of his students. this is a dude who literally expels kids on a regular basis just to put the fear of god into them. also he is seriously so goddamn hot. it’s straight up ridiculous

oh wow this whole page just came straight for my heart

Yuuga’s fear as he tries to talk himself into what he fully believes is a suicide mission. Aizawa’s blunt assessment of the heroes being no less ruthless than the villains when their backs are to the wall. but then the way he just HITS him with that “you’re still my student and I’m still your teacher” line, and how he says it with such finality. and then the face Aoyama makes in response!!

OKAY, WOW

ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS IS FAIR YOU KNOW!! YOU CAN’T JUST HIT ME WITH THIS BRUTALLY SIMPLE PANEL OF THE TWO OF THEM JUST SITTING THERE WITH ALL OF THE OTHER VISUALS STRIPPED AWAY SO THE FOCUS IS ENTIRELY JUST ON THEM, AND WITH THE WALL BETWEEN THEM ALSO SYMBOLICALLY REMOVED JUST LIKE THAT

AND YUUGA BEING SO SMALL. AND AIZAWA BEING SO STRONG AND SAFE AND STABLE AND FIRM, AND HIM HAVING SUCH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR HIS STUDENT DESPITE EVERYTHING. “FUCK THAT, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE A HAPPY ENDING BECAUSE I FUCKING SAID SO AND I’M YOUR SENSEI AND THAT’S FINAL.” okay yep. tears coming now. thanks a lot, Horikoshi. wow. just wow

lol I truly believe that if Horikoshi ever did truly try to kill off one of the 1-A kids, Aizawa would literally come to life and emerge from the pages and straight up murder him

welp. there you have it. absolutely no room for argument there. SENSEI SAID YOU’RE GONNA LIVE, YUUGA, SO I GUESS YOU’LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!

fsdljkf

yep. that’s right. deal with it. dlfkj don’t mind me I’m just gonna sit here dissolving into sobs again

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS WARM FOND EXPRESSION GODDAMMIT

I AM ALREADY A PILE OF MUSH, HOLY HECK!! CAN I LIVE. CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE HERE ALREADY HOLY SHIT

wait what

uh. the path of “none of you problem children are allowed to die on my watch, are we fucking clear on that”? that path?? or the path of marching headfirst into very real danger because they have no other choice, because they’re one of the lynchpins in the heroes’ desperate plan? because that latter path is one that I’d prefer to have as few children walk as possible, ngl

-- OH MY GOD

“HELLO, SHINSOU HERE” UH, EXCUSE ME, MISTER, DON’T YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO ME? AFTER BEING MIA FOR LIKE A HUNDRED AND TWENTY CHAPTERS AND FOUR AND A HALF ARCS?? YOU’RE JUST GONNA HANG HERE FROM THIS FUCKING TREE ALL NONCHALANT, WITH YOUR FANCY NEW HERO COSTUME AND YOUR SPIDER-MAN POSE THAT YOU STRAIGHT UP RIPPED OFF FROM YOUR DAD?? WHILE SAID DAD SITS THERE CHUCKLING OVER HIS “NEVER FEAR, WE’RE TOTALLY PUTTING SHINSOU IN AMPLE DANGER AS WELL” REVEAL? “DON’T WORRY AOYAMA, WE’RE NOT JUST RISKING YOUR LIFE, WE’RE RISKING MULTIPLE CHILDREN’S LIVES, BUT WE’RE DOING IT ALL TOGETHER AS A FAMILY” truly the most heartwarming of sentiments lmao

well damn. that hype and anticipation is definitely starting to build now. I am so damn fearful for all of these fictional kids’ safety, especially now that I’m watching the War arc play out again in the anime and remembering just how brutal it was. but at the same time I can’t deny that I’m super excited to see the culmination of everything. like, this is IT, though. this is THE moment, THE battle. no more safety arcs. no more training. we are done holding back, and that is as terrifying as it is exhilarating. I am so not ready for any of this, but IT IS HAPPENING WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT, so I guess I’ll just do my best to enjoy the ride

-- oh and lastly, I almost forgot. before we wrap up, there’s just one last thing I wanted to add here...

so it begins.

                                                 ✿

" Choi Jongho!!!!!" You screamed at the top of your lungs, while your best friend Mingi almost fell off his seat at your sudden outburst. Poor guy looked like his soul just left his body. Then when he looked at you fuming red as you scanned the whole room for a certain someone whose very murder was about to happen.

Mingi sighed, " what did he do this time?"

" He fucking told seonghwa that I have a crush on him and I was extremely silly about it!!!!"

Mingi almost had to choke back a laugh at this as he made his way beside you.

" Well that was a bit too much. Even if you have a silly crush on seonghwa what's it to him?"

You looked at him like a hawk and spat " I don't have a crush on him!"

" Oh now you don't?" Mingi raised one eyebrow at you in amusement as you blushed , " not anymore! That was a long time ago. I don't even know how jongho got to know about this but he is doing absolutely nonsense with that piece of information. Now I have to go and talk it out with seonghwa so he doesn't misunderstand."

" Well jongho sure does know how to make you miserable " Mingi laughed.

" Oh don't remind me" you rolled your eyes as you linked your arms with Mingi and made your way out the empty music room to find jongho and give him a piece of mind.

" Whatever you do just don't kill him this time! I don't want you to end up in jail!" Mingi laughed and acted scared. You laughed at him and said you're going to do just that.

After looking for a few minutes you finally spotted him with his best friend, Jung wooyoung, laughing at something. Probably some weird bullshit ,you thought. So you made your way hurriedly towards him and grabbed his ear and turning him to face you. He yelled at the pain and looked at you with a pained frown.

" How dare you lie to Seonghwa,you absolute bitch!" You exclaimed in his ear. He then grabbed your arm and pushed you away while rubbing his ear.

" Jeez calm your titties down. And where's the lie? You DO have a crush on him. I saw you gawking at him a lot times. And it's getting painful to watch that"

You huffed and almost pounced on him but Mingi grabbed your arms and pulled you away from the red haired guy.

"NO! I don't like him anymore and even if I did why do YOU care? How do you know I was gawking at him? Were you looking at me too? Ewwww!!!"

"ME? Looking at YOU? Huhh!!! Not in a million years! You wish , you wench!"

" Mingi stop me before I commit genocide " you said in a low voice while your face turned red.

"MiNgI sTaPH MeH bEforE I cOmMit gEnoCiDE!" Jongho mimicked you with a funny face and laughed at you.

This made you even more angrier and you almost lunged forward. But Mingi grabbed your waist and threw you over his shoulder and ran from jongho before you officially killed him.

You still screamed profanities at him. Other people looked at you weirdly but you couldn't care less about them .

Then after an hour or so you met Seonghwa and explained that everything was a misunderstanding. Yes you admit you had a crush on him but not anymore. You moved on. And also tomorrow is your 18th birthday so you're going to find out your soulmate. So you want to only focus on them.

Then later on you went to hang out with Mingi. He bought you ice cream and you two had lots of fun. Mingi would spend the night at your house too cuz tomorrow he might not be able to do that because of your soulmate thingy . What if you meet them tomorrow? Then he needs to give you two private time but he's your bestie so he needs to spend time with you on your birthday. That's why today was his day with you.

That night you watched lots of movies ,ate snacks, and did skincares. Then you both fell asleep.

The next morning ~~

You groaned as you stirred awake. You put out your hand to grab your phone but you couldn't find it where you left it. So you tried to wake Mingi. But again the space beside you is empty. You frowned. Slowly you opened one eye and saw the bed was empty. You slowly sit up straight and opened your eyes .

" What.....?..." Your mind went blank as you looked at the unfamiliar place. You were in a room but it wasn't yours. The bed wasn't yours as well. But how the fuck did you end up here? Last time you checked you fell asleep with Mingi in your room.

You started to panic as you looked around for any kind of familiarities. But everything was unknown to you. You gripped your hair in frustration. But then you stopped . You gulped in nervousness because something didn't feel right. Why was your hair short? You tried to touch your hair but it was short like a boy's hair. You quickly looked at your cloths and almost screamed when you saw you were wearing something else that you were not wearing last night and also these clothes weren't yours.

But before you went to full mode of panic you remembered that you just turned 18 . Oh. So it must be something related to your soulmate. At the thought you calmed down a bit. So you probably exchanged bodies with your soulmate. That's the only thing you could come up with for now.

After fidgeting with your or rather his fingers you finally mustered up your courage and decided to stand before a mirror. You couldn't find a mirror in the room so you went to the washroom.

The moment you looked at the mirror you felt extreme horror and screamed at the top of your lungs. Because you couldn't believe who you saw in the mirror .

"No fucking wayyyy!!!!"

" This can't be happening"

" It must be a dream. Wake up y/n!"

" He can't be your soulmate!!! Choi fucking Jongho can't be your soulmate!!!"

You were pacing around the room and screaming. Suddenly the door of your or his room slammed open. A guy with sharp features entered looking frustrated.

" Shut the fuck up Jongho! Let me sleep. What crawled up your ass early in the morning?"

You stared wide eyed at the guy. He's probably  San, Jongho's older brother  you thought. You've heard about him a few times. You tried to keep a straight face because obviously he can't know that it's not his brother he's yelling at.

"Umm..sorry? Go to sleep" you said. He raised a brow at your words crossing his arms and looked at you as if trying to see through your soul.

"You ok? You seem... weird" he squinted his eyes and entered the room. At this you became a bit nervous and fiddled with your fingers.

" And what are you doing this early? It's the weekend you should've been passed out on the bed like a dead rat". He put his hand on your forehead to check the temperature. You instantly moved away from him.

"W-what are you doing? I'm fine! Just go to sleep, jeez!"

He once looked at you weirdly then stated," but then again when are you not weird. I'm gonna sleep. Don't yell anymore and do whatever you want" he laughed then went to probably his room.

You sighed in relief and quickly closed the door. Now silently you tried to think of something to do with your situation. After a bit of thinking you decided to go to your own house to check what happened to your original body and if Jongho was placed in your body as well.

After a few minutes you put on a hoodie ,a pair of jeans and decided to take his phone just in case. You slowly exited the room while checking if there was anyone or not. It took you a few minutes to get out of the house sneakily and you found yourself shivering at the cold weather of early December. His house wasn't that far away from yours so it took a few minutes to reach your house.

You contemplated whether you should just ring the doorbell or sneak inside somehow. You decided to do the latter because you didn't want to disturb your parents who are most probably still sleeping. It still wasn't 8 in the morning. You entered the garden and went to the side of your house where your window was located. There was a big tree beside your window thank God. You can just climb up and enter through the window. As you climbed up you found it easier to do so because woww Jongho's body was really strong. You then reached your window and tried to open it . Keyword - tried. It was locked! You horridly looked at the window.

You thought about what to do now.

" Oh fuck it!"

You started knocking on the window hoping Mingi or Jongho who is in your body most probably will wake up and open it. You couldn't see the other side because there was a curtain. After a minute or so you heard shuffling on the other side. The curtains were pushed and now you could see Mingi with his bed hair opening the window.

" What the fuck?!! What are you doing here ? At this time? " He stared at you with wide eyes because in his eyes you were Jongho. You quickly went inside through the window and stood in front of him.

" Dude! Are you nuts? Why are you here? I thought you hated y/n? You should leave before she wakes up "

You frowned at him. Sure he was just doing what you would have done if you saw the ACTUAL Jongho at your window. But something about how he was demanding that Jongho should leave before you woke up hurt you. You felt a little sad that he was trying to keep you and Jongho away.

Wtf y/n ! where did that come from? why are you thinking like that? Ahh it must be the soulmate bond , you thought. You looked at Mingi and sighed.

" Mingi it's me y/n. Something happened and somehow I exchanged bodies with Jongho".

Mingi was quite as he looked at you then he scoffed.

" Huh! You expect me to believe that bullshit? You Ruined my sleep for this?"

" Mingi it's true!! Remember last night we had movies night and we binge watched Pirates of the Caribbean! It's really me"

"Wait for real? What in the fantasy is this?" He stared at you like you had grown two heads.

" Dude I think i know what happened but how can something like this happen to me?"

"Wait if you're y/n I mean if you are in Jongho's body then where is Jongho? And if you're here then who is sleeping here?" You both looked at the pile of blankets thrown over on a body in your bed. You pushed the blankets away and almost screamed but Mingi beat you to it. Under the blankets you were sleeping soundly or should you say your body was sleeping and in there was probably Jongho. You sighed at the sight and decided to wake him up. All the while in the background Mingi was panicking because he can't believe what was happening and also he slept with Jongho. Well technically it was your body but still.

You or he stirred awake and opened his eyes. For a few seconds he just stared at you two looking at him like some curious little kids looks at animals at the zoo. He blinked once ,twice and thrice. Then when he closely looked at you he gasped and went back to sleep. Both you and Mingi looked at each other. He probably thought he was dreaming!

Again you woke him up and this time when he realized he wasn't dreaming he screamed but the  scream was in your voice which also startled him because the last time he checked he didn't sound like you.

" What the fuck is this? Why am I in front of myself? Why do I sound like this?" He looked genuinely horrified which made you want to laugh but then you remembered that it was very much your situation as well.

" Well..." You trailed off as you didn't know what to say.

"So you're telling me that we might be soulmates as it's your 18th birthday and then suddenly we switched bodies?" Jongho stated as he looked at you or rather him tauntingly.

" As much as I hate to admit it. It might be true. I don't know my soulmate link . It could have been anything. I didn't know it was switching bodies. God knows how long will we have to stay like this."

" Oh hell nahh!!! My weekend!"

" Shut up. Don't scream. You're not the only one . And do you know what's your soulmate link? Or have you already turned 18?"

" Yes. It was on October but nothing suspicious happened that day so I thought I didn't have any soulmate and would die alone"

Mingi cackled at his confession and said " You two are soulmates. I'm telling you. The way you were always hate-loving each other and the sexual tension between you two! Damn I was about to go crazy seeing you two dumbasses . Glad fate decided to meddle otherwise I would've locked you two in a room to fuck the living daylights out of each other "

Your face reddened and swung a punch at Mingi's arm. He yelled at the pain and only then you realized you punched him with Jongho's strength.

"Oh my goshh! I'm sorry Mingi!!!"

" Aish you nearly broke my arm" He whimpered as he rubbed the place, his face twisting at the awful feeling. On the other side Jongho snickered at you two only for you to glare at him.

" So what do we do?" You sighed as you flopped yourself on your bed after helping Mingi with an ice pack.

"What else? We can't possibly continue our days like this. Thank God it's the weekend so we can just stay at home until..this is over"

You rolled your eyes as he motioned to the space between you two as he talked with a grimace. Not gonna lie that kinda hurt .

" Oh please! Don't give me that look. I'm enough devastated as it is"

Now it was Jongho's time to roll his eyes.

" You're not the only one "

" Can you two at least be civil?" Mingi said getting annoyed with your nonstop bickering. You sighed and went to Mingi who was leaning against the headboard of the bed.

" Let's just stay at home for now and take another nap and see if we change back ".

Placing your arms around Mingi's waist  you snuggled into his stomach. But your face twists into pain as he flicks on your forehead.

"Oww! What the fuck was that for?"

" Get away! Even though I know it's you it still feels weird to have you all snuggled up to me because you're Jongho in a way"

Your mouth formed an o as the realisation kicked in and you moved away with a groan.

" Go cuddle with him." Mingi stated as he pointed to Jongho who sat at the end of your bed.

"No thanks I'd rather sleep on the floor " you said .

Jongho scoffed at you but didn't say anything. But instead he laid down there. Probably trying to sleep again to see if anything changes. You also do the same by laying beside Mingi. Your bed was big enough to fit you all. It was no more than 8:20 so a short nap before your parents woke up sounded just fine. You though about everything that happened in the short amount of time. You still can't believe Jongho is your soulmate. Really the fate must hate you. A twinge of hurt flashes over your chest as you drift off to a dreamless sleep.

Seeing you two sleep peacefully Mingi made sure to not make any sounds and quickly leave the room closing the door. He sighed and hoped for everything to be alright. He knew how much you loved the concept of soulmates and waited for your soulmate. So to see you like this made his heart hurt for you. Hopefully you're gonna make amends with Jongho. That's why he left you two in the room so when you wake up you can talk it out with him. He decided to go to the kitchen and make your favourite pancakes. After a while when your mom woke up and came to the kitchen she wasn't quite baffled to see Mingi. You two were like two beans in a pod and always were there for each other.

" Good morning sunshine, what are you doing?"

" Oh good morning aunty! I'm just making pancakes for y/n"

" Oh that's good! Is she up yet?"

" No! I mean she's still sleeping but she told not to disturb her because she couldn't sleep last night properly out of nervousness. So she'd probably be down here a few hours later"  Mingi fiddled with the whisker as he lied to your mom because he can't risk your mom to see a guy in your room. Even though it's your soulmate. or more likely she'd freak out seeing her daughter in a man's body.

Your mom nodded slowly and patted Mingi's arm and went to do her own works.

You stirred awake as you looked around in your room to find only Jongho still sleeping.

You almost made a loud noise as you saw you're back to your body. You looked down at Jongho and contemplated whether or not you should wake him up. You stared at his face and noted mentally how peaceful and angelic he looked while sleeping. Only if he was this angelic in real life. The thought nearly made you scoff.

"You know it's creepy to stare at someone who is sleeping"

Your soul nearly jumped out of your body and you backed away from him. God this is so embarrassing! Why did I have to stare at him! You thought.

"I wasn't! I was just amazed that wow how can someone be THAT ugly!"

" Yeah sure, whatever floats your boat"

You huffed and looked away before anything else happened because his gaze was doing something to you. You hated to admit it but it always did. Perhaps Mingi was right. There was some tension between you two. But you weren't sure of how Jongho felt.

"Wait.. we're back to our bodies!" Seems like he only realised it now.

" Yeah...now what are you planning to do?"

" What do you mean? I'm going back to my house"

" No, not that. About..uh.. you know we're..." He stayed blank at your nervous fiddling. He has never seen you like this . So he was thinking about the situation and everything else.

" What about it? It wasn't our choice"

Your heart almost crashed because ouch? How could he say that! And what the heck is this you're feeling. This wasn't you. But... perhaps a little part of you became used to him and probably liked him? You're not sure of the feeling that tugged at your heart. You were scared. You've felt this tug before too but this time it only felt stronger. When the hell did this happen? You don't know. Because all this time you were busy trying to rip each other apart. This sounds like a stupid teen drama but you cannot deny the pull you feel. Did he not feel anything? Was it only you who foolishly fell for him? Yes you can now name it. This blooming feeling in your heart you so desperately wanted to get rid of by acting harsh with him because you were afraid. But now that you face him you feel terrified. Because slowly he's ripping your bleeding heart out .Now with stinging tears behind your eyes you tried to hide your eyes from him.

" But what do you want ?" You looked up at him to find him looking at you with a soft look, a glint of gentleness swirling around his orbs. You've never seen him looking at you like this. Your heart flutters and stomach does flip flops. Your eyes flickerd to his lips before making their way back to his eyes. You saw an unreadable desire behind those eyes you've never seen. But it excited you . So you decided what you want.

You moved closer to him in seconds and without warning grabbing his neck from behind you crashed your lips onto his. He let out a surprised yelp but soon melted in your touch and wrapped his arms around your waist pulling you closer. The kiss deepened as you went from being soft to rough. He bit your lower lip and pushed his tongue inside. It slowly became hot and steamy as you both couldn't stop your hands moving around to feel each other.

After a few seconds you both pulled away and steadied your breaths as you looked into each other's eyes.

" This. I want this." You breathlessly say looking at him with an intense gaze. He smirked at you and came closer to whisper in your ear, " Fucking glad "

You looked at him with a soft look and big smile and he returned it with his cute gummy smile that you've always loved. You both leaned closer and were about to connect your lips but then you heard,

"Y/n!! How long are you planning to sleep?! It's your birthday for goodness's sake!"

You both quickly scattered away from each other with widened eyes.

"Is that your mom?"

Seems like a long way is ahead of you two but you're more than ready to face it now that you have him by your side.

[wondermadeleine]

Thoughts on the Miraculous movie:

I'll go into details and spoilers under the cut but here's the meat of it:

Too many songs that weren't even that good

The dialogues often felt forced and empty

The animation was so pretty, like???? Their hair? All the time? So cool

We get it, the power of love and listening to your heart, you don't have to say it in every scene

Lots of changes compared to the show, some of them were great and it could have been even better BUT:

It was so fucking rushed wtf? Which kind of explains my second point

THEY ROBBED US OF THE TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCES

In conclusion:

I consider this movie as an alternative universe, a "what could have happened" simply because it derives from the TV show canon so much

I also would have enjoyed it a lot more if it weren't for the songs, they really ruined it for me

Spoilers ahead, I'm gonna tell you the WHOLE plot, you have been warned

The songs

Like... Why would they do that? Were they trying to give it a Disney movie vibe? Because it sure felt like it. Marinette/Ladybug felt very Frozen-inspired, and Hawk Moth's song (yes, Gabriel has a song, several in fact) was very Dr Facilier/Rasputin

And the songs themselves were just... Not Good. There were too many and they were so cheesy. We were maybe 20 in the room, most of us adults, and let me tell you after the first few songs the general reaction to a new one were groans. I ended up saying "please don't sing, please don't sing" several times during the movie but of course my prayers were never answered. And I usually love musicals

Cut out all of the songs, they have 0 emotional impact anyway, replace them with some dialogue and more interactions between the characters to make their relationships feel less rushed and it could have been a really good movie

The plot

We basically get a speedrun of 5 seasons in 1h40min: Marinette and Adrien get their miraculous, learn how to super-hero, we get a time skip with lots of fights against akumatized people, Hawk Moth loses his mind because of "the butterfly" (don't ask me, I don't get it either) and because he can't get LB and CN's miraculouses, so he akumatizes himself, which somehow makes him super powerful and he destroys Paris, manages to get Ladybug's miraculous and right as he's about to get Chat Noir's, he realises that that's his son under the mask and.... purifies? himself? because The Power of Love. So everyone learns who Hawk Moth is but they don't seem to realize who Chat is? That's unclear to me. They definitely don't know about Ladybug though, since the "last" scene of the movie is Marinette telling Adrien who she is and this surprises him somehow, even though Marinette de-transformed and re-transformed in front of everyone during the fight against Hawk Moth, but okay

In the background we of course get the love square, which doesn't stay as "CN/Adrien → LB LB/Marinette → Adrien" very long:

Chat Noir and Ladybug sing a whole ass duet together when he tries to confess but at the end she says no and then we're supposed to believe that she's torn between Adrien and Chat Noir all of a sudden. Marinette then tries to invite Adrien to a ball and he refuses (since he just got rejected by the girl he likes) so they're both dejected and heartbroken. But after the boss battle, as I said, Marinette reveals herself to Adrien and they kiss

Have I mentioned that this movie is 1h40min long?

HOWEVER. The scene cuts to Nathalie going into the basement where Emilie's body is because Gabriel asked her to, and we see that Emilie is wearing the peacock miraculous

So, I guess they're teasing a sequel? But Master Fu got the butterfly miraculous back so idk what they'll do and idk if I'll want to watch it if it's another musical

Also, about Hawk Moth/Gabriel: they tried to explain why he wants to destroy Paris by saying that the butterfly miraculous is evil and corrupts your mind the more you use it but... I don't buy it. I just don't. I'd rather have a Gabriel that is so hurt by the death of his wife that he's willing to hurt people of his own free will because he loves her that much and would do anything to bring her back than whatever the hell it is they tried to do here. It could have worked if I hadn't watched the show I think, but since I have...

#miraculous les aventures de ladybug et chat noir #miraculous tales of ladybug and chat noir #les aventures de ladybug et chat noir #tales of ladybug and cat noir #miraculous movie #miraculous ladybug #miraculous #i hope no one comes for me saying i'm a hater of whatever #i tried #i wanted to love this movie so much #but my main takeaway is the songs were so bad #it's eclipsed every good aspect the movie had #also this is what i think 2h after getting out of the movie theater #it is 1am #if i'm unclear or make no sense that's why #i'm tired #my eyes hurt so if there are any typos you'll just have to deal with it

Everything Has Changed | Cobra!Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz x Chubby!LaRusso!Reader

CW: teen pregnancy, angst, crying, kind of enemies to lovers.

Reader felt her heart leap into her throat as she stared down at the stupid plastic stick in her had. Pregnant.

"Fuck," she huffed and hit the wall with her fist out of frustration. "Dad is gonna freak the fuck out."

Her heart thumped hard in her chest as tears pricked the corners of her eyes. How one earth was she supposed to explain this to him or the rest of her family? What would she tell her friends? Her sister especially.

And of course the guy she slept with, multiple times after heated arguments and near spitting vile names at each other. How was she supposed to tell the most annoying, egotistical guy she knew that she was pregnant with his baby?

She didn't want to think about it but all the troubles invaded her mind anyway. With a huff and a deep breath, she harshly wiped away her tears and tossed the pregnancy test in the trash. However, when she looked in the bathroom mirror, she felt sick to her stomach.

Here she was, a LaRusso knocked up in high school...

"What the Hell am I going to do?"

As the days went by, Reader tried to act as if everything was fine. She went to school, did everything she had to, and made excuses as to why she couldn't go to karate afterward. She skipped going to the dojo, telling her dad and sister that she was hanging out with friends or needed to do homework. Before they could object, she slipped away and didn't let them get a word in.

It worked for a while but she knew that sooner or later, she was going to have to either get more creative in her excuses or tell them the truth. She really didn't want to do the latter, so she started making up all sorts of things to tell them. Her absences eventually reached her mother, who gently confronted her one night while doing the dishes after dinner.

"So, are you avoiding your father or are you just sick of karate?" she asked.

Reader scrubbed a plate and kept her head down. Another lie slipped past her lips with ease as she spoke. "I'm sick of it. I just didn't want to hurt Dad's feelings. You know how he gets."

Her mom let out a small laugh. "That I do. Well, I'll talk to him and make him ease up on ya. How does that sound?"

"Like a dream."

But the word didn't stop there. It traveled through the karate community and reached one mohawked menace's ears.

While walking to the library during one of her classes, Reader was suddenly grabbed by the elbow. She pulled her arm out of her unwanted company's hand and turned to him with a glare, staring Hawk down as he smirked. She spat, "What do you want?"

"Heard you were quitting Miyagi-Do," he said, an amusement in his tone. "Heard your dad's a pain in the ass, so I thought I'd come to extend an irrefutable offer to you."

"No dice," she said and put her head forward, continuing her walk. He annoyingly followed, so she continued. "Like Hell I'd even join that pitiful excuse you call a dojo. Besides, I didn't quit karate. I'm on a break."

"That's so lame," he huffed. She could practically hear the way he rolled his eyes. "Come on, you'll like it. It's a whole lot better than that lame Miyagi-Do crap you do."

"First of all, are you even listening to me? I said I'm taking a break," she said, not sparing him a glance. "Second of all, don't disrespect Mr. Miyagi like that. He shared his culture with my father and was like a grandfather to me. Just because you have a different way of doing karate doesn't make my way wrong."

"Jeez, chill out, LaRusso," he grunted. He glared at her, but there was a glint in his eyes. "What's got your mood so sour?"

She ignored him as she walked into the library, but it was futile as he followed behind her. She tried to walk faster than him, though unfortunately for her, she was tired and her body was a little sore. He caught up fast and stayed behind her as she browsed the shelves. However, she couldn't do that for long when he turned her around and pinned her against the bookcase, looking at her with that same glint in his eyes.

"Have I ever told you how you're kinda hot when you're pissed off?" he asked.

She looked at him, her breath caught in her throat. His hot breath fanned her face and made her knees weak, a fact she hated to admit to because he was so annoying. His bad-boy attitude was what both frustrated and attracted her to him, not that they'd ever discussed stupid things like feelings. They screwed around when things got tense; when their adrenaline was up from throwing insults at each other; when words escaped them and the only thing to do was smash their lips into each other and tear one another's clothes off.

But that couldn't happen this time, so she put her hands on his chest to prevent him from getting any closer. He gave her a weird look, almost offended.

"What? Tired of me too?" he asked.

"Grow up," she huffed and tried to shove him away, but he remained sturdy in his position.

He shook his head. "Be real with me, Reader. If you wanna me a bitch and go fuck someone else, then just tell me. There's plenty of other girls I could go to."

When she didn't say anything, he started to pull away. That was when she grabbed him by the front of his hoodie and pulled him back. He had to catch himself on the bookcase behind and he almost missed the words she hissed out.

"I'm pregnant, you fucking asshole."

He stared at her, holding himself over her, eyes slowly going wide as what she said set in. She watched the seething Cobra melt away, leaving behind a terrified teenage boy who was just as scared as the teenage girl in front of him. It broke her.

It broke her because if the all-mighty Hawk was scared, what did that mean?

She looked away from him as tears came to her eyes. "Jesus fucking Christ..."

Reader would have crumpled to the ground had he not been there to catch her. He held her up by her arms but unlike all the other times he held her, his grip wasn't rough or tight. It was firm and gentle.

"Are you fucking serious?" he asked dumbly.

She nodded, afraid to look at him as she quietly cried into her hand. She also didn't want to show him her tears, her weakness. It was too much to think about, stupidly so given the bombshell she'd just delivered to him. Why was she so concerned if he saw her cry? There were bigger fish to fry.

Then he did something unexpected. He hugged her.

His warmth suddenly became something different, something she never expected to feel from him. It wasn't lustful. It wasn't just body heat. It was comforting. So she buried her face in his chest and cried as quietly as she could, wrapping her arms around his waist and hugging him back.

Reader didn't know what he was thinking. She couldn't begin to imagine what was going through his head. Perhaps it was similar thoughts to what she had when she found out about the pregnancy, but unless she asked then she'd have no way of knowing. She didn't have it in her to ask at that moment though. All she could do was cry and he let her.

It wasn't as if Reader was new to keeping secrets from her family. She'd snuck out of the house numerous times without her parents knowing and she'd been fucking Hawk behind her sister's back. They were so wrapped up in their own problems that they didn't realize she was gone most of the time. However, hiding a pregnancy was a lot harder than anything else, mostly because it was frustrating.

The hardest night came when her dad made sushi for dinner.

Reader sat with her family as they enjoyed their meal and she sat quietly poking it with her chopsticks. It sucked not being able to eat a family favorite. She was starving and her parents had made the one thing she couldn't eat, not that they knew that.

"What's the matter, Reader?" her dad asked from his seat. He looked at her concerned, shifting his eyes between her and the plate in front of her. "You've hardly touched your food."

She felt a little tense. Everyone's eyes turned onto her and she hated it. She pushed her plate away and lied. "I'm not that hungry."

"You've hardly eaten today, you should really it," her mom said, pushing the plate back in front of her.

It was true, she hadn't eaten much, but that was because of the massive waves of nausea.

She pushed the plate away again and tried to ignore the way her stomach felt like it was going to eat itself. It was just her luck that on a night like this, her dad made sushi of all things. "Really, I'm not that hungry."

"Is something wrong?" her dad asked. It was the final straw on her already tense and hormonal back.

"I'm fine! God, why can't you guys just leave me alone?" she shouted, pushing herself away from the table and standing up. She stomped upstairs and slammed her bedroom door shut, tears pricking the corners of her eyes by the time she made it there. She loved the door to make sure no one followed her inside, knowing that was exactly what her dad or Sam would do.

She sat in bed for a while, waiting for the tears to stop, but they didn't. It was like a dam had burst from behind her eyes and now she couldn't make the tears stop. She did the only thing she could think of to do; she texted Hawk.

"So you haven't told your parents yet?" Hawk asked as he unwrapped a taco. He looked up at Reader as they sat in his cat. She was using the middle console as a little table as she poured sauce packets on her taco. He couldn't help watching her.

She felt his eyes on her and she didn't mind it so much as before. He'd been looking at her all night ever since he picked her up from her house. It somehow made her feel better, probably because he was the only person that knew what she was going through.

She looked up at him and shook her head. "No, my dad is gonna freak out and try to kill you when he finds out."

"I can handle myself," Hawk said, unafraid of Mr. LaRusso.

She hummed. "You won't say that when he's coming after you."

"I'm not scared of your dad, Reader."

"Yeah, okay," she said, then bit into her taco. Her cheeks were still stained with tear tracks but she didn't bother to clean them up. She was too tired and too hungry to be bothered with such a silly thing. So she decided to enjoy her tacos in silence.

Well, as much silence that could be achieved with the radio playing modern pop music. It was low and not really noticeable until the pair quieted down. That was how they sat for several minutes until they both finished their meal.

Reader disrupted the upbeat pop song playing by crinkling her taco wrappers and tossing them back into the bag from which they came. Hawk took the bag from her and hopped out of the car to walk it to the trashcan nearby. It allowed Reader to sit back and really look at the situation she'd gotten herself into; here she was with a student from the dojo her father hated, was bitter rivals with, eating tacos in a parking lot like it was a normal everyday thing to do. Oh, and she was pregnant with his baby, to top things off.

It was a hot mess and as she realized this, the storm of emotions reemerged. However, rather than let it get the best of her, Reader turned up the radio's volume and sang along to the Taylor Swift song that was playing.

When Hawk returned, he was met with the blasting volume and Reader singing at the top of her lungs. He slipped into the car, watching her carefully before turning the volume down a little bit.

"You okay?" he asked.

She looked at him, pausing her serenade. "I don't know."

"Why's that?"

"Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm pregnant in high school and my dad is gonna kill me when he finds out," she said, sighing heavily. Then she shook her head. "Well, no, that's not true. He'll kill you and I'll be unscathed except for the fact that I know he's gonna be majorly disappointed and somehow that's worse than him being mad enough to commit murder."

Hawk reached over to her and rubbed her shoulder comfortingly. He offered as much comfort as he could, being the boy who had knocked her up and had yet to tell his own parents. A part of him understood the immense amount of pressure she was under but only a small fraction of it because he wasn't the one that was pregnant. He was just the guy.

Still, he offered his support. "Hey, it's gonna be okay."

"It doesn't feel like it," she mumbled.

They sat in silence for another few minutes, aside from the radio. She put her hand on his, accepting his comforting gesture. It helped soothe her mind, let her forget about the troubles that she would have to face, and allowed her to push them away again. He reminded her that she wasn't totally alone in all of this, which was what she had expected to come after she told him she was pregnant.

After all, he was a total jerk. At least that was what she was led to believe. He was a part of Cobra Kai, the asshole assembly that terrorized her sister and friends on a near-daily basis.

However, as they sat in his car under the lights of streetlamps and the Taco Town neon sign, she didn't see a Cobra.

She saw the boy who was scared of everything, the one he tried to erase from everyone's memory. No matter how hard he tried, he now sat in front of her, hair down, closed off to the world, quiet. Deep in thought, he didn't say anything, and he looked like a brief memory more than a person. He looked like Hawk, but she remembered-

"Eli..."

He looked up at her, a little shocked to hear that name fall from her lips. She spoke it softly, testing the waters. However, unlike how he lashed out at Demetri for using that name, his eyes softened from their startled state and he met her eye.

"Yeah?"

"What are we gonna do?"

He licked his lips and croaked, "I don't know..."

It fell silent again. The radio played. She looked down at their hands and sighed, letting the question and answer go. She was too tired to think about it or try to figure things out.

Then the song changed. It was an Ed Sheeran love song. The air filled with soft melodies and sweet tones. Reader felt awkward as it came on and tried to pull her hand away but he held it firmly, making her look up. Her heartbeat picked up when their eyes met again. He drew closer and she felt a magnetic pull as the nerves faded away. Their lips brushed against each other gently at first, then fully came together in a soft, long kiss.

She slipped a hand into his hair and his other hand came up to hold her waist. Their joined hands stayed together and he squeezed her hand, leaning into her to deepen the kiss. She let out a small moan, melting into it. Something about it was better than any other kiss she'd ever had.

But she was scared to pull away. So when it ended, she sighed and didn't open her eyes. Softly, she asked, "This can't be fake."

He looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"

She took a deep breath before she looked at him. "I mean, if you're feeling obligated to be with me... because of the baby..."

He stared at her, then cupped her face and brought her lips to his once more. "I'm only obligated to be here because this is my baby too, but that's not why I'm kissing you. Reader... I've always had feelings for you."

"You hated me a few months ago."

"Before any of that," he told her. She stared at him, questing in entirely. "I never hated you. I could never hate you, Reader LaRusso."

She licked her lips. "Before?"

He nodded. "Way before."

She smiled softly, assured that this wasn't just circumstantial. And she kissed him again.

I'ma say this rih quick cuz I need to get it off my chest.

The thing about why Key's actions are hitting me a lil bit different than Beyonce not cancelling her Renaissance screening or Hozier's half ass "both side" statement is that I've been fans of the the latter for longer, so I've had more time with them. Therefore, the connection I have toward them now is dubious at best.

I've only just recently gotten into SHINee. Like it's legit only been five months and yet this is the second time, since my becoming a fan, that Key has shown his ass. I've seen shit he's said and done in the past via old clips and shit and I can't quite explain how I compartmentalize that shit. Not that it's ever been okay but I'm just like, "Oh that's what he's on."

But after September and now the McD's endorsement, like, idk. I'm so annoyed but I'm mostly annoyed at how long it's gonna take me to like get his music outta my head. Legit had Good & Great playing in my head while showering tonight.

Also, it's affecting how I feel about SHINee as a whole. Like...the colorism thing is bullshit but genocide is a whole nother thing. And it's not as easy for me to overlook or forgive.

And that's all I wanna say. That's all that I can say honestly.

Except I saw some pics of his Keyland concert and he looked so cute and I hate that he looked so cute because I would love to celebrate this but all I wanna do is wish him the fucking worst.

People are legit dying and who cares as long as the check clears, amirite?

BUT ALSO that's something I'm noticing about a lot of K-pop stars in general. They have no views on nothing unless it's time for endorsements but like THAT'S A VIEW! You cannot be apolitical while you're hawking the very shit that's funding a genocide and ethnic cleansing. Like???? Do fucking better. All of y'all.

#i speak #lemme rant rih quick

I’M GOING TO GET A LOT OF HATE FOR THIS so please if you don’t agree just ignore this post or comment what you think about it so we can share some different opinions but DONT bitch at me just because you don’t like it. I’m up for a good debate but like, don’t be disrespectful (and if you are going to comment “Robby’s fans are the worst!!” get the hell out of here).

Anyways, lately I have been reading comments in different plataforms (YouTube, Tumblr, etc) about Robby shaving Hawk’s hair forcefully and about him taking away Hawk’s identity or self esteem.

I DO agree that what Robby did was wrong and not an act to be proud of, especially after knowing that Hawk was not Keenys main bully (or what, are we going to pretend he didn’t mess with him?). Robby knows that what he did was wrong and I do believe they will focus on this with Hawk and Robby next season, after all they have quite a lot of things to talk about. (And we deserve interactions between two of the most interesting and complicated characters from the show).

BUT a thing that really bothers me is when people say he stole Hawk’s self esteem. Like, Hawk’s self esteem NEVER existed in the first place. The Mohawk was a mask to hide all of his insecurities and fears, a fake sense of confidence. Hawk built a whole different person (a bully, by the way) to try and pretend that he was not someone to be messed around and he lost himself in the process. He became not just a bully, but an aggressor and violent person who broke his bests friends arm, threw a kid against a window, stole money, beated the fuck out of a kid, punched someone so much they ended up drinking from a straw, discolacted his competidors shoulder, slut shamed a girl in front of many people and trashed a dojo and maaaaany things to go on.

Did Hawk deserve to get his hair cut like that? No. No even after all that, no.

But do you see where I’m coming from? Hawks whole confidence was his hair, and his hair and new attitude was a way to hide the true Hawk/Eli. And the truth is he lost himself the moment he put on that Mohawk. Robby was the last straw for him, but he is not the one responsable for Hawk losing himself.

He had no idea who he was before the Mohawk, and without it he felt like no one. That’s on all the people who bullied him and made him feel like crap during his most vulnerable years, but you can’t put everything on Robby. You don’t steal someone’s identity by cutting hair, it’s not that easy. Hawk was lost from the very beginning, and that’s something I felt the show explained very well seeing how easily manipulated he could be (much like Robby) because again, they are vulnerable and way too young.

I’m not trying to make Robby look like a saint or villainize Hawk, I’m just trying to point out that this two kids are just that: kids. They fuck up, they realize their mistakes but most importantly they were/are lost. And they both had terrible people guiding them at their worst moments, so it’s no surprise they do end up making wrong decisions, but they are still kids (GOOD KIDS) that were too angry and too blinded by rage for a long time.

If you are worried about Robby not realizing his mistake; he already did. And season 5 will show this, I’m sure of it.

One of the things that explains A Lot about me is that waaaaay back in 2002 or so i found a fake revolver on the playground. Not a Toy but one of those guns that are a whole lot loud but dont actually fire any rounds. This was 2002. I played video games. I had a playstation. And a PS2. If you are vaguely my age and also played video games as a kid you can probably already imagine where this is going. If you said "Haha you were stupid and pretended to be Revolver Ocelot and twirled the thing" you would be ABSOLUTELY correct.

I earnestly practiced this shit. I would watch TV and twirl the fucking gun around as if my mom wasnt sitting right next to me probably wondering whatever she did wrong to deserve this shit. One hand is doing homework, the other twirling a fake revolver. Multitasking. I twirled it while riding my bike "Hey Kasper do you wanna play-pretend Tony Hawk with us?" No i cant i have to practice. "I found some WWE tapes from my dad and we are all gonna watch them, do you wanna come with us?" No, i must practice. I got Really good at it actually. Just imagine passing by some house and theres some middle school kid sitting and seriously earnestly and highly focused twirling a revolver. Yeah i just thought that says a lot about me and just.. The Everything

2x11 2/2: ‘He does *waves his hands around* all of this for them and they still act rude in a way, if i was him, i’d burn the whole place down, okay thats a but much but they are very very rude *brian tries to give his tickets to linds* HE CARES! NOT THAT IM SURP- blondie, if he didn’t wanna be here, he would just say adios and leave you alone in you DIY dress! WHY DO THEY KEEP TELLING HIM WHAT HE THINKS AND FEELS AND GOD DAMN IT THIS IS ANNOYING ME SO MUCH *looks at me* hey, if i was like 100% sober, do you think id watch it more peacefully?’ Narrators note: no, i dont think so, in fact i think the drugs are helping him, wish i had them when i watched s5. ‘She wants him to fuck lots of beautiful guys but she almost had a stroke bc ted started a porn site. Who is she lying to? Him? Herself? Or me? Bc i feel lied to. Whateved, give me my boy and Bri Bri in Miami!! Dancing and drinking and having fun!’ And now Justin cancelled on Brian ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYY BLONDIE! WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?!?!?! He wants to console debbie?! She has mike! Fuck debbie! That bitch better drown in her tears if he wants to cancel for that!’ And now he is watching the tv like a hawk to see if Debbie cries. ‘HE ISNT EVEN CONSOLING HER! She is smiling! Not a tear on her! *he now paused the tv on mel* i swear i dont mean this in a bad way, okay maybe it is but im not 100% sure so you tell me..BUT she gives off the vibe like if she did an interview about her character instead of saying the name or whatever she would speak in first person..now to think of it that nerd also gives of that vibe (when asked which nerd he just went ‘im done explaining myself).. not one tissue was passed to debbie! Not one! I guess this wedding was cute but come on! Give me brian and Justin on a trip! I had to suffer doctor bone crack and mike fuck in a forest, i think i deserve something good for that’ ‘i will kill myself if it cuts to Brian sad in a loft or some shit like that. HE CAUGHT A BOUQUET!! DOES THIS MEAN HES NEXT?! i wonder who caught it at the wedding? Probably Emmett’ And at this point he is no longer chill or collected. He is now going on and on about how lindsay sabotaged him and how he is a good person that deserves good stuff and that them not going on a trip is horrible and that he is fully expecting them to go on a trip by the end of a season but since miami just happened he is willing to compromise that s3 better start with them somewhere on a trip/returning from one. I think he might kill me when he sees the finale.

OH MY GOD in my last answer I forgot to address your brother going WILD over Brian deciding to take Justin to Miami. Welcome to the fandom, friend. The things we melt at. (NGL my spouse took me to Dinah Shore which has a white party for my 30th and it was very romantic... in its own debauched way) (we were younger then and better able to mimic Brian's lifestyle)

Thank you to your brother for seeing how batshit Lindsay is. What the fuck does she want from Brian? NO ONE KNOWS. IT IS A MYSTERY.

And yeah, Justin staying. I get that it made sense for his character. Probably a bit of foreshadowing for Ethan. (And not a single tissue passed to Debbie) (but also truly no offense to Sharon Gless, she is so normal about Debbie). (Which nerd? I die)

Brother better buckle up if he's hoping that Brian and Justin get to go away to any-fucking-where. Vermont, Miami, Ibiza... none of it happens. Ever.

I get so sad seeing Brian catch the bouquet at the white party. IDK why. It makes me sad.

I wish we could start a fund for you for the end of this season - to pay for your therapy and probably your brother's.
