OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH AHHHHH!!

I loved the first three episodes so much! For some reason I thought there would only be two??

First off… HOW DARE David Jenkins and Con O’Neill make me love Izzy?? I’m an absolute sucker for actors microexpressions and vocal work and Con BRINGS IT as usual. Don’t get me wrong, last season he was brilliant and I loved to hate him but the script and Con’s acting immediately made me actually care about him? Right from the get go (“yes, they all got cake…”) I was like… aw sweetie… You’re in over your head, aren’t you? Each time he was revealed to be NOT DEAD (if I had a dollar/weird that it etc) I was so relieved. He actually cares?? About the crew?? He blamed Stede for Pining!Ed but he knows that Kraken!Ed is because of Izzy, and that Stede makes Ed better.

Taika and Rhys brilliant as uzhe. The character building, again, good as!!

Stede is getting confident and competent, but still Stede. Not much else to say, somehow. Just as brilliant as I expected. Also the linen shirt? Daaaaaaaaang.

Ed… aahhh. Taika does every emotion so well. At the moment it’s mostly PAIN and I look forward to him breaking free of that. His ‘purgatory’ was especially brilliant. And his revelation of the fact that he hates himself. Beautiful.

LUCIUS!! I wasn’t surprised (was anyone??) to see Lucius return. We knew it had to happen! When they said “rat boy!”, I was bouncing on my seat with excitement. Cynical!Lucius is delightful.

Just… so many of the characters have been so deeply affected by the trauma of the last season (as were we all, let’s be real)… and it’s a credit to the crews (behind the scenes, and on it) that they each are so familiar and the same people they were… but evolved and changed and grown. They’re the same *people*, but not the same people.

Jim and Olu! I know there is some disappointment at their romantic separation along with their physical separation. But I love the contrast with Lucius and Pete who (so far) seem to be back together, or trying to be. That’s life, you know? Some people just don’t fit back together once they’ve been affected by different things. I don’t have a problem with them being paired up with other people. I hope that they can find their way back to friendship, even—especially-if the romance is gone.

I know there was confusion and disappointment that Ivan isn’t in this season. It wasn’t the actor’s choice not to return, but I think the change makes sense. No shade to Guz Khan, he was great. But the dynamic of the Kraken crew didn’t need him. We had Fang and Izzy from the old BB Crew, Jim and Frenchie from the Stede crew, and Archie as the newcomer… it really felt balanced. Loved the way they bonded with each other and I really look forward to the way the two different crews have been mixed up and seeing how they try and fit back in with Stede &co.

The new characters! Really nice to see some women on board. Archie is a nice addition, I hope we get some more of her, but at the same time we don’t *need* it. It’s enough that she’s there and she’s given some opportunities for exposition, disrupted the dynamic and made things feel a bit different.

ZHENG YI SAO. I love her. Guessing she’ll be the big bad of the season and she’s a worthy villain who will hopefully bring Ed and Stede back together.

I love that last season it took three episodes for Ed and Stede to fall in together… and by ep 5 we had romance blooming, by episode eight they were both actively interested and we had the kiss in episode 9. I hope we can have the same kind of pacing in season 2 (but I really hope they don’t break up again)… and we’re on track with that with it taking three episodes for them to fall back in together.

Also in case you missed them, like I did, there is a short post-credits scene after each episode so stick around through the credits!

I’m so excited for next week!!!

Rants S4 episode 3 (spoilers)

At the time of writing i’m up early before my 6am shift to watch this ep. This is whole kind of dedication i hope i don’t have to do forever XD

Anyway....

Beast Boy not getting sleep. He’s literally me right now

Hmmmmm something between the Prince and the Priestess. More Ships for my armada!!

Speaking of ships, here I thought the new bioship was the mate but it’s actually the child!!!

Bioship is staying behind on Mars?!?!? But they’ve been through so much together. These episodes have really been throwing me into memory lane

Your hearts were once joined, priestess, but I’m still shipping you with prince boy

Oh this really is the bachelor and bachelorette party now, cause drama…

My baby boi BB has been suffering through trauma this whole time!! My son…. (And the writers tackling this topic, I’m intrigued)

Saturn girl helping BB through his trauma was great, super cool, but I’m just here laughing my butt off at Chameleon and Phantom Girl’s faces toward her like ---

That end credit scene is a deleted scene from the superman and lios series, sorry i don’t make the rules

Well, Mgaan and Conner are done with some of the wedding rituals, we got a new ship both physically and spiritually, and BB is going to get better hopefully so.... Nothing to worry about right? Yeah..... no, not with this show...

(Btw, i’ll be in Mexico the next two weeks so i don’t know if i can get access to HBO max whoch meand i wont be able to do reactions. I’ll do my best though, so keep your eyes open!)

See you next week, my YJ Freaks!!!

bruh i almost really only if you’re okay with it wanna part 2 of kiri’s but like it has a married life and kids because dog hybrid kiri with kids or normal puppies too just sound adorable

That sounds so cute so I decided to mix both things. Here you have Kiri with doggos and kiddies 🥺💕

In here reader can get pregnant and ig goes by "mommy", I wanted to make it like this bc imagine smol lil kirishimas running around with smol black tails and wiggly ears and;;;; I'm soft—

Word count: 1.4k

[ Main Hybrid!Kirishima HCs ] [ Masterlist ]

× since we've established he starts as a dog trainer, expect to have doggos around the house all the time

× but it takes some good months for him to ever consider adopting one with you

× he's really aware of both of your financial situation so he'd need his business to boom before considering it, and maybe renting a bigger apartment

× what was good was that his internet fame got him sponsors and extra-cash

× whenever the time comes to consider it and talk it with you, he'd sit you down and mutter a cute "I was thinking—" while he's cuddling into your chest

× guess who's ready to do at the next shelter to adopt? Kiri is so eager to help another life 🥺

× adopts a big pitbull that's the sweetest thing in reality and in a few days he takes the doggo with him at work

× seriously loves seeing you cuddling big soft furry baby but gets jealous playfully; dog's in your lap? lifts you both up and now you're all in his lap, don't question it

× calls it Dynamo or something, saying he wants to honor his friend that he still had to find 🥺🥺🥺

× they're inseparable and look so intimidating together ajdjkejs until he smiles brightly and dog starts jumping around happy to exist; they both wiggle their tails and i swear just the cutest ever omg

× now before he considers children [ daydreams about it around 2 hours a day but sure ] he wants to be able to give you more

× saves up for a promise ring a few months in the relationship

× "My heart will forever be yours and someday I want to officially be able to call you mine" manly speech but he's tearing up while he puts it on your ring finger

× marriage between species was still a dicey issue, although it was legal some people still protested about it daily

× still believed in your relationship and was willing to take whatever came your way

× wants to do it the right way because he's a firm believer you deserve the best and wants to give it to you

× you did have to have a very small wedding but it did not matter to him and hopefully to you either

× KIDDIES!!!! skfjsljdhs I'm melting bc

× you guys planned it, right? it had to be a good time for both of you and had to have space for a smol little pack

× yeah, he calls it a pack; it seems it comes from his old days where his closest friends called themselves that and he now wants his own

× when you're settled and surprise him with the news???? falls on his knees, puts his forehead on your belly and sighs, taking his shaky hands to place them there too

× it's happening, it really is

× both him and Dynamo get very protective of you

× they've always been but it's as if the dog actually feels his owner on the edge protecting his mate

× from the day you've told him you're expecting he's gonna carry you around

× i mean, he likes to do it, leave him have it

× but he's fucking embarrassing as hell; once your belly starts getting bigger and let's say you find each other on the street, he's gonna pick you up bridal style and walk you home

× all the neighborhood simps for you both

× [ unrelated but everyone has a crush on him and are jealous of u, i don't make the rules ]

× doesn't matter if you scold him all flustered bc he's just going to laugh wholeheartedly and say some cheesy stuff like "It's just that I'm too happy right now" and he makes you shut up and boil of embarrassment

× oh my god; he puts his head on your belly and listens to two heartbeats [ has very good hearing ] and gets soft as fuck

× when the bundle of happiness arrives he's crying

× like he cries cries

× holds the baby and cries

× baby cries and he cries

× you're washing the baby and he observes the scene, crying

× absolutely adores both of you

× hear me out; smoll bby has an even smoler tail

× that they wiggle whenever they see their momma or dadda...

× yeah, from the first few weeks baby does that and it kills you

× [ imagine: ] it's 3 A.M., baby woke you two up crying and he kisses your forehead, urging you to go back to sleep; he goes to the baby's room and picks em up softly, holding them close to his chest and singing a sweet lullaby in his deep raspy voice, just above a whisper; Dynamo is a self-proclaimed bodyguard so the dog is always by the baby's door... you get up to see what's taking him so long and he's just sitting on the armchair in the room, kissing your baby's forehead tenderly...

× i really love the idea of Kiri having a daughter just because he'd be such a great dad; pick cute clothes, do her hair, play with her, have tea-parties; 🥺 strong big man with cute daughter? 💘💖💘💖💘

× gets so soft for his pup; calls your kid a pup; pup responds with wiggly tail

× she starts learning the puppy eyes from his dad and now, for sure, it's the death of you

× you're gone now, one of those looks and you can't argue anything and give in

× i feel he'd post about his family online and that's when his following would just explode, basically turning him into an advocate for hybrid lives and showing the world they're not different from normal humans; still keeps his privacy cuz people are mean mfs sometimes

× can we just accept the fact that they're both a mess? loud, clumsy and sunshine-y?

× her first words are Mamma and he instantly jumps in her face to ask "Hey, what aBOUT DADDY?!?!?!?"

× will get out of his way to make his smol sunshine giggle and her adorable cute laughs are his life juice

× gets energy to eat the world afterwards

× has this exagerated way of talking just to entertain the baby; even mundane things like: gasps —and I— dramatic pause to look around —made a MILKSHAKE! throws his arms in the air, making bb giggle and clap

× ridiculous dad;

× places your daughter on Dynamo's back and makes it carry her around like a horse

× gives her a paper made sword and roars a battle cry

× adorable squeal-like roar in response from his daughter

× also will have her be on his shoulders if you guys walk anywhere, keeping her in place by holding her chubby legs secured

× dumb songs for everything while they walk; "We're going to the mall, WE'RE GONNA BUY IT ALL, WE WANT SOME CHICKEN NUGGETS AND MAYBE GET SOME MUFFINS"

× "No."

× insert puppy eyes

× "... fine..."

× "WE'RE GOING TO THE MALL—"

× will want more children; like i said, he wants his own pack

× is more than happy to adopt hybrids too; he knows specially the youngest ones are treated badly so if you can't have children, please consider it

× because he will love them with all his heart and he has so much love and care to give

× just think about how he'd be surrounded with two, three children, all trying to climb on him, one hanging on his beefy arm, another clawing his leg, one on his shoulders; such a sight~

× every time he sees his kids doing anything he watches them carefully then turns to you with love in his eyes

× "You make me the happiest man alive"

× you gave him a new life, such happiness he only dreamed about in his darkest days and is thankful every single day;

× sometimes forgets how incredibly amazing he is, yet your words help him

× if your children call him the best dad ever?

× beams

× brighter than the sun itself

× will give it all for your family

× now and forever

Well, I didn’t write anything for Valentine’s Day, which is fine because there’s a pretty good chance that’s not a thing in a galaxy far, far away. ;) But I am working on a one-shot with Finn and Poe. It’s something that came to me as a very vivid scene pretty much all at once, so I scribbled down some notes, and surprisingly enough, they stuck! Hopefully I’ll finish it this week and then get to the epilogue of my other story that I keep putting off (even though I can’t wait to be done. Hmm. Strange.) So here is a minimally-edited snippet of the one shot, which sees Poe calling his dad after the Battle of Exegol to tell him what happened. . .

There is a knock on the cockpit door. “General?” C3-PO enters, stops immediately when he sees Poe talking to his father. “Oh, I’m sorry. I did not mean to interrupt, General.”

“General?” asks Poe’s father. Poe holds up a hand and turns to the droid.

“I’m a bit busy now, Threepio. Can it wait?”

The droid pauses, nods his head once. “Yes, sir. I believe it can.”

“Thank you,” Poe tells him dryly. “I’ll be sure to find you when I’m done.”

“I will be in the main cabin with the others, General.” He turns to leave, and Poe calls after him.

“Don’t forget the door, Threepio. And no more interruptions.”

“Of course, sir. And of course not, sir.” He leaves, the door whooshing shut behind him. Once again Poe contemplates locking it, turns to his father with a sheepish look on his face. Kes Dameron is waiting patiently, arms crossed over his chest, eyebrows raised in question.

“So you’re a general now?” Kes asks, voice serious but a smile pulling at his lips.

“Well, yeah…I guess.” Poe shrugs, rubs at his tired eyes. “Leia made me acting general before she died. No idea why…could’ve been anyone…”

“She wanted it to be you,” Kes tells him sharply. “Because she trusted you. Because she’s been preparing you for a while now. You know that. So trust in her. She knew what she was doing.”

“I hope I do,” Poe grumbles, then sits up straighter. “But at least I’m not doing this on my own. I made Finn my co-general.”

This time Kes actually smirks. “Oh, really?”

“Not like that, dad.”

“Not like what?” Kes holds out his hands in innocence. “I didn’t say anything.”

“You don’t have to, I can see it in your face.” Poe gazes out past the hologram, into the forest where somewhere, Finn and Rey are sitting, enjoying their new closeness. And he’s sad for himself, but so glad for two people who desperately deserve happiness. “Kriff, dad, you should have seen him. He led a ground assault on a Star Destroyer! With a cavalry! And when it all backfired, he came up with a new plan and got it done—destroyed the beacon that was controlling every Star Destroyer there. Once Finn took it out, they never had a chance. It was amazing.” Poe tries not to think of those harrowing moments when he saw Finn and Jannah hanging from the side of the Destroyer, before the Falcon scooped them up. He’s just so relieved it worked and they survived.

“I see,” says his father, nodding sagely. “It does sound amazing. So when are you going to tell him?” his dad asks quietly, seriously. Poe shakes his head, knows he can’t lie to his dad but he’s going to try anyway.

“Tell him what?” The false cheer in his voice gives it all away, and Poe holds back a cringe as he dad crosses his arms over his chest again, cocks his head in that way he’s had since Poe was ten and tried lying about the Force tree in their yard. “Dad…”

“Poe, the war is over. You don’t have to wait anymore. Besides, your mom and I didn’t wait.”

They hadn’t waited until the war was over, which had left Poe alone as a baby, raised by his grandfather. Not that Poe wanted children any time soon, but the thought of leaving behind someone he loved, or losing them, was not something he’d wanted to think about, before. Not when the next day, the next battle, could mean capture, death, or defeat. But now…

“I know dad, I’ve heard the stories.” Poe sighs. “And you’re right, the war is over, but you know just as well as I do that there is still a lot of hard work to be done. There’s still going to be pockets of the First Order holding out, putting up a fight, and I can’t leave the New Republic to—”

“To what, son?” his father demands. “Think of yourself and your own happiness for once? Of your future? You and Finn can work with the New Republic together, you know. Side by side.”

“It’s not that simple,” Poe grinds out. “It’s complicated.” There’s someone else, he doesn’t say, because it’s yet another thing that becomes all too real once the words are spoken and shared.

“Stop making excuses.” Kes Dameron’s voice is flat, almost stern. “Before that ring around your neck chokes you. Tell him, Poe. Talk to Finn.”

The door slides open behind him, and Poe whirls in the pilot’s seat, his eyes big as his heart drops because of course it’s Finn. Did her hear any of that? What’s he even doing there? Where is—

“Tell me what?” Finn asks, sounding both curious and concerned. “Everything okay?”

“Kriffing hell,” Poe mutters, turning back to his father. “Thanks a lot, dad.”

And his father, the old bastard, is grinning. “Perfect timing! I’ll leave you two to talk.”

“No, no,” Poe says, leaning forward in alarm. “It’s fine, don’t go, I need to–”

“I know you have a lot to do,” his father continues, Poe’s protests falling on deaf ears. “But come home soon. You need a break. Trust me. I remember the feeling.”

Poe blows out a long, slow breath. “I know you do,” he says quietly. “And you’re probably right. I’ll see what I can manage.”

“Soon, Poe,” his father says. “Before you collapse. And bring some company. I’d love to visit with someone besides you and BB-8.”

“Um,” Poe tries not to glance back at Finn since the implication is clear. “We’ll see about that.”

“Well, I can always issue my own invitations,” Kes offers, too cheerfully, and when did his father turn into such a scheming matchmaker? Poe rolls his eyes, leans forward to disconnect the call.

“Don’t even think about it, dad. I’m fully capable of issuing my own.”

“Then make sure you do.” It’s a strange standoff, and Poe can practically feel Finn’s eyes boring into the back of his head.

“It was good to talk to you, dad,” Poe manages, suddenly choked up again. “I’ll call again soon.”

“I’m proud of you, Poe. General Dameron.” He smiles, reaching out as if to touch his son. “Never forget that.”

“I love you too, dad. Dameron out.” His dad offers a small mock salute, and as the connection shuts down, Poe flops back in his chair, even more exhausted than he was when he walked in—physically and emotionally. He hears Finn shuffle behind him but is too worn out to turn around and say anything. Maybe if he’s lucky Finn will walk away.

Apparently he’s only lucky in the sky.

a/n: you might be questioning where I have been for the past couple of months. I have one word to say that should be a good enough answer. College. I’ve been studying none stop and found no time to write the next episode after university started. The posts will no longer be regular so just keep yourselves updated. Hopefully I will have another 2 episodes up between now and the end of the year at least but don’t quote me on that. I hope you enjoy!

I’m deeply sorry for my absence again x

warnings: nothing

THIRD PERSON POV

The afternoon continued with Y/N and Jinyoung discussing life and getting to know one another whilst Y/N replied to her emails.

“It’s mind b-boggling how you and J-Jackson may have crossed paths back in 2012…” Y/N had just mentioned how she was training for the London 2012 Olympics to compete for swimming.

“Similar to Jackson, I switched career paths and decided to study architecture. Dad wasn’t the biggest fan until he saw the passion and success I had gained in the industry. He soon came to terms with everything.”

“Wow… do you r-regret it at all?” The clock marked 10:30 pm. You guys had been talking for the past 90 mins, getting to know each other.

“I think I regretted not swimming after deciding to study architecture. I didn’t choose to not compete in the Olympics because I no longer liked swimming so I do regret not continuing although I must say, studying architecture might be the most time consuming degree out there. That’s why later on I decided to apply to become a licensed swimming teacher to undergo lessons. I’d be teaching people how to swim whilst fulfilling my love for swimming.”

“Best of both w-worlds, r-right?”

“Exactly.” Y/N had now placed all her work to aside with her back against the wall, legs crossed enveloped into the conversation.

Some seconds went by and Y/N wanted to know about Jinyoung’s initial dreams.

“What about you? Did you always want to be a singer?”

“Always. I took up d-dance lessons when I was around 15. Then went to a-audition and got in to JYPE. That was when I met J-Jaebeom. We actually d-debuted together as a d-duo group called JJProject to later on d-debut with the r-rest of the g-guys as GOT7. Since t-then they’ve been my f-family rather than just my m-members. I think it’s g-getting to the p-point where I might have spent m-more years of my l-life with them then I did without. Time flies…”

“I could definitely sense the brotherly love you guys all have for each other. So how did becoming an actor happen?”

“I r-requested from the c-company to find roles I could take part in a couple years b-back. First it was small roles in small d-dramas and then being c-casted by more known d-directors to p-play bigger roles. All of that has l-led me to play s-second male lead for ‘When My Love Blooms’.”

“When do the episodes start airing?” Y/N had grown eager about Jinyoung’s talents.

“Hold your h-horses… we haven’t e-even started f-filming yet and won’t be until I r-recover… The original airing d-dates will probably be p-pushed f-further.” Jinyoung’s words drifted into a sudden realisation for his career.

“If only-“ Y/N was about to blame herself again.

“We’ve been through this m-multiple times Y/N. None of this is your f-fault so s-stop blaming yourself for t-things you have no c-control over.”

Y/N had her mouth open ready to retaliate but if she had to be honest… she couldn’t be bothered to fight back considering it was now coming up to 11:00 pm.

“Fine.” Y/N yawned and covered her mouth. Work had been extremely busy today especially with all the news floating around now.

“S-someone’s tired.” Jinyoung eyed Y/N’s tired state and decided to call it a night.

“I still have so much to do. I can’t fall asleep now.”

“C-could you n-not spare an e-early n-night just for t-today?” Y/N recollected her thoughts weighing up if she could possibly sleep early tonight and get all the work done tomorrow.

“I could…”

“Problem s-solved then. Clear up your b-bed and get your pjs on. I d-don’t want to f-face a t-tired Y/N tomorrow m-morning.” Y/N eyed your mean comment and huffed to your orders.

“Yes, sir.”

2 WEEKS LATER

Y/N’s POV

“Miss, Jinyoung has been recovering quicker than expected. He should be perfectly fine to attend the event. If anything unsettling happens you can give me a direct phone call.”

“Thank you so much Doc.” You gave the doctor a large smile and she reciprocated a reassuring smile.

You entered Jinyoung’s room with your outfit for the architecture awards festival along with you.

“Am I allowed to come?” Jinyoung asked as soon as you entered the room. You gave him a nod.

Jinyoung’s voice was more or less back to 100% and his eye had completed healed by the end of last week. There wasn’t much left until being fully recovered. Possibly parting from the hospital quicker than the original 2 months the doctor had estimated.

“I knew I’d get the green light. I even prepared my outfit because I was so sure I’d be able to come.” You hadn’t seen someone so ecstatic for an awards festival.

“As expected… I’m not even surprised. Will you be able to get dressed? Need any of my help?” Jinyoung was still a little instable since he’s been lying in bed for the past 2 weeks. His legs tend to give out for the first 30 mins.

“I think I can manage. I’ll get dressed quickly and then the bathroom is all yours.” You chuckled at his assumption that you’ll take really long in the bathroom for the event.

Jinyoung heads towards the bathroom and you are left there practising a speech you’ve written for all the awards you and your company have been nominated. This isn’t because you knew you were going to win any of them but… the unprofessional scenes if you guys were to win an award and to not have a speech ready daunted you. There was nothing wrong with being prepared.

15 MINUTES LATER

You must say… I don’t think you had ever laid eyes on someone so handsome in your life before. You could swear that this man was carved by God himself.

“How much deeper are you going to fall into my looks?” You hadn’t realised but you had been staring Jinyoung up and down for the past 30 seconds of him leaving the bathroom. Hair all styled. The suit was literally made for him. His cute bow tie was a little wonky leading you to let out a chuckle.

“What?” Jinyoung’s face turned serious thinking something was wrong with how he looked.

“Your bowtie is wonky.” You stood up from your seat and reached out to fix his bowtie. Your eyes were fixated in straightening the bowtie and all Jinyoung could do was analyse your face and how focussed you were.

“There you go. Looks better now.” You lightly let go off the tie and looked up at Jinyoung who was already staring right back at you. Those bambi eyes were going to be the death of you.

“Thank you. Now go and get yourself ready.” He pinched your nose and then you entered the bathroom with your dress, makeup bag and accessories.

20 MINUTES LATER

“Jinyoung~~” You called out for Jinyoung. You were done with everything but couldn’t reach the zipper on the back of your dress. You had been procrastinating on what to do and just gave up. There’s no way you could zip the dress up alone.

“Yes, Y/N. Is everything alright?” You could hear his footsteps come closer to the bathroom door.

“In a bit of sticky situation… could I ask you to do a favour?”

“Sure, what is it?” You went ahead and unlocked the door for him. He took a step back and couldn’t contain the sight in front of him. You were in a red bandeau strapless dress which had a structured skirt that was shorter at the front and longer at the back with. A very slight trail. Unsurprisingly your makeup was the bare minimum and you had left your natural hair out. His mouth was agape as you stepped out of the bathroom.

“How much longer are you going to stare for Mr Park?” He had been in the same awe you was when he had stepped out of the bathroom earlier on.

“Yes…right… the favour?” His soul re-entered his body trying to compose himself. You could only smile on the effect you had on the prince himself.

“I can’t reach my zipper, could you zip up the back of my dress for me?” You saw his cheeks blush a light pink below the thin layer of bb cream he had on. Without the zip done neither of you were going anywhere so he had to do it.

He wasn’t able to give a verbal response and just nodded. You turned around to have your back facing Jinyoung. He moved your hair to aside exposing half of your back to him. He was blushing so hard right now and was happy to have you facing away from him even though in a matter of seconds you’d be facing him seeing the shades of red planted on his cheeks. Jinyoung gently placed one hand on the zipper and the other hand on your back holding the fabric of your dress still. His fingers grazed your skin and they were a little cold leading you to jolt a little by the surprising cool touch. He notices.

“Did I hurt you?” His voice was a little worried. The slightest worrying reaction you make, and he’s so concerned. He’s too sweet.

“Nope, your hands are just a little cold that’s all.” You say whilst you chuckle.

He apologises with his soothing voice and zips up the dress, letting out a quiet done when finished.

You turn back round and thank him for his kind gesture. You also noticed the flush of his cheeks. He’s so cute, you thought. You quickly put your heels on and left Jinyoung’s patient room and entered the hall of the hospital. Expectedly, you guys received some stares and some whistles by the old women sitting outside their patient rooms. The event manager had organised a limousine to pick up each nominee for the awards hence why there was a lovely jet black limousine parked at the entrance of the hospital. The driver spotted you two and guided you the way and kept the door open for you two to enter the fancy vehicle. He ran back to the wheel and started driving towards the venue.

“Anything I need to know beforehand? Who should I present myself as?” Jinyoung had started with the questions during the car drive.

“Who’d you like to present yourself as Jinyoung?” You wanted to fish out his intentions from him.

“Preferably your boyfriend in order to stop those punks from hitting on you but I’d never want to force you into a relationship with me…” He side eyed you as he kept looking out the window. You so wanted him to be your boyfriend.

“Logical. Agreed. If anyone asks, you’re my boyfriend.”

“What an honour.” You slap his thigh due to his sarcastic tone.

“Whatttt? I’m serious. I’m going to be the boyfriend of an amazingly talented architect who’s bound to receive an award tonight. It’s a genuine privilege.” You could only look at him in awe as he described the so called ‘privilege’ he was taking part of.

“If you say so…”

The humming noise from the motor of the limousine was really calming but Jinyoung broke the silence once again.

“Are you nervous?” His tone was much deeper and serious compared to how he was a second ago.

“A little. These awards happen once a year and we’ve progressed so much as a company but so has everyone else in the industry. It’s hard to tell if we’ll be receiving the major validation from the institute. With or without the award tonight I’m so pleased with my company, but it would be nice to get a recognisable achievement for all our hard work.” Jinyoung listened to you as you let out your insecurities for the upcoming night.

“In the little amount of time I’ve met you, I think you’re the only person who deserves all the awards you’ve been nominated for this year. No one can change my thoughts and it’s going to be a pleasure to witness your achievement first hand. I can’t wait.” He rubbed his thumb over your knuckles trying to calm your nerves down. It was going to be a long night.

30 MINUTES LATER

Your limousine had rocked up to the red carpet laid out on the floor outside of the venue of the awards. You took a deep breath as the driver ran around to Jinyoung’s side of the limousine to let him out. Jinyoung agreed to open your door for you so he exited the vehicle first. Like he had planned, he went around to your side and opened the door for you to step out. The cameras started capturing every single moment as you wrapped your arm around Jinyoungs, and he gave you a reassuring nod. You gave him a smile and the two of you walked towards the entrance of the building slowly as you waved to the cameras and press greeting the two of you. The cameras were close to blinding, but you pulled through until reaching the entrance where the bodyguard escorted the two of you to your spaces in the main hall.

The building was full of white and gold decorations. You could definitely tell that the theme was highly influenced by Greek culture. The budget of the awards keep growing as the number of sponsors increase. The bodyguard escorted you to the table that Beck was already sat at with his fiancé. Beck realised your presence as well as Jinyoung. He stood up to give you a hug and shook Jinyoung’s hand. Beck’s fiancé shook both of your hands too and took your seats.

“The famous Mr Park. It’s nice to meet you in person. I’m Beck, the other shareholder.” Beck gave Jinyoung a warm smile.

“It’s nice to meet you to Beck. It seems like you already know of my name, but I’ll reiterate for the norm. My name is Park Jinyoung, you can call me just Jinyoung.” You let out a scoff because of how formal Jinyoung was being with Beck.

“He’s younger than you so you can ignore the formalities.” You said to Jinyoung and then Beck and him opened the conversation about age and their Chinese zodiac signs.

The evening began at 7:30 pm with the award winners due to be announced at 9:00 pm. Until then there was butterflies in your stomach ready to be set free any minute now.

Jinyoung came closer to your ear and whispered, “Loosen up a little. There’s no need to be this tense. Here hold my hand.”

Jinyoung offered his hand and you took it immediately as he gestured his open palm. Your hands were tiny compared to his manly hands. They encompassed all your digits giving you’re a sigh of relief because of the security they exerted. You let out a large sigh and continued with the discussions on your table with the new clients that were interested in your company. Having Jinyoung at the event really helped scare away the useless men who would only be interested in your physique and nothing more. His presence filtered out all the nonsense that would usually be taking place at the table.

The clock finally struck 9:00 pm and everyone went back to their designated seats in order for the awards to be presented. The event holder went through all the minor rookie awards to then move onto the company categories.

“Here are the nominees for Best Project of the Year.” The event holder signalled to the larger screen behind him as the nominees including your company are mentioned in no specific order.

“I was personally really fond of this project myself too. The meaning behind the design and the immense detail put into the façade really makes me excited for the future of this company. I’ll stop blabbing on and open the envelope.” You looked at Beck and then back at Jinyoung who was really eager to know the result.

“The award for Best Project of the Year goes to…” The event holder lifts the flap of the envelope and takes out the white sheet of paper inside. You hold your breath waiting for the result to be spoken.

“The Chamberlain project, designed and constructed by Chevrel Architects.” The whole community around your table started roaring and cheering for you and Beck to claim the award. That was one award written down in the books for Chevrel Architects, a company you and Beck had started years back. You and Beck had decided that if this award was given to you guys then he’d give the speech for it. Beck was the reason for the Chamberlain project happening and hands down you could state it was because of him the project turned out well. You, Jinyoung and everyone else in the hall stood up clapping as Beck walked up to the stage and shook hands with the event holder along with receiving the award. He then walked up to the mic and started his speech.

“I’d like to first start off with a large thank you to everyone at Chevrel Architects. The amount of hard work that was put into the Chamberlain project is indescribable, without everyone’s help it wouldn’t have been possible to achieve such a great outcome. I’d like to also thank Y/N for coming on this journey with me and trusting in me when I said that this company will create its own legacy. This is only the beginning…” Beck continued to thank more or less everyone he knew and came to an end with another roaring applause by everyone.

He jogged back to your table and you admired the award he placed on the table. You felt Jinyoung squeeze your hand in encouragement for you to realise how much you guys are capable of although he still knew you were a little iffy because the individual architect awards hadn’t been announced yet. You couldn’t help but smile at the gleaming object right before your eyes. Having received this award you doubted that another award would be given to someone of the same company.

Minutes went by and the event holder had reached the most awaited award of the night. Architect of the Year. You were surprised that you hadn’t left to use the restroom to throw up all this anxiety already. You were so ready to go home and relax. You wanted your normal heart rate back. You looked at Jinyoung and he gave you a look that melted your heart in seconds. He started massaging your knuckles with his thumb again and you could feel your body ease into his touch. The event holder for the last time of the night directs our attention to the screen for the listing of the nominees. Beck unfortunately wasn’t nominated so he was rooting for you to win the award.

“I know for many of you this is probably the most important part of the night. I’d like to first mention that to be able to be nominated for this award is ana achievement in itself so, you architects should all be proud of yourselves. It was a very hard decision that the committee made but we were able to make a decision. The award for Architect of the Year goes to…”

Coming Attractions!

A day late, whoops…ah well. Let’s pretend it’s still the first Monday of the month, which means Coming Attractions!

Also, as a reminder, I have set up a Discord server for my writing--basically intended to be an extension/more interactive version of this blog. Feel free to stop by and say hi!

Short update this month, because I…did not get a whole lot done last month, whoops. Uh, I was possibly going to do Camp NaNo for July but I didn’t get my thoughts organized in time…but anyway, a quick overview of goals for the month! I think I did some more prompt ficlets since the last update? But we haven’t had any rounds lately…anyway, those can be found in the tag. I also did a couple things for a prompt meme on DW. Other than that…it’s been a quiet month on my end.

I really, genuinely, I swear, actually will finish this arc of Precipice in July, lol. Hopefully get at least one chapter of Preludes and/or Protectors out as well, but if I can just get these last two chapters done, I will be Happy. There’s basically…four or five scenes left? One bit with Obi-Wan and Anakin and Artoo and Dr. Naar that’s been very slow going and is really like two or three half-scenes sort of cobbled together; a bit with Bail and Ahsoka and Rex and Leia (which is also...a couple half-scenes stitched together, lol); a bit with Sidious and Lavinia that’s mostly finished; and a Padme POV scene to close out the arc. Right now, the plan is for these to go into two chapters, and then we’re done!

Preludes will probably get posted out of order, since it’s backfilling stuff in the skip between arc 7 and arc 8, but at minimum it will deal with Palpatine’s next apprentice, some of what the Ghost Crew gets up to in this AU, and probably Maul will show up. The first one will probably be a scene/sequence with Kallus and Lavinia, but there’s a couple other possibilities I’m contemplating as well (Hondo facilitating some contacts, what the hell has Maul been up to, Apprentice #5’s debut…we’ll see!)

And, since y’all have been So Patient with my lack of updates the last few months, here’s a teaser for one of the first few chapters of Protectors!

“You need to move,” Obi-Wan said, quietly. “I don’t think the message can be traced to you, but if the Empire starts looking closer at the planet…”

Owen seemed about to object, but Beru put her hand on his. “We understand,” she said. “I know there’s a contingency, but I’m not clear on the details.”

“Pack,” Obi-Wan said. “We’ll stage it like the farm’s been attacked.”

“Will we be able to come back? Eventually?” Owen asked.

“I hope so,” he said, but he refused to promise more than he could be sure to deliver. “And there will be...enough to rebuild from, if you do.”

“Sand people,” Owen guessed, voice hard.

“Yes,” he said. “Credible, at least to fool any Imperial patrols that come by. The locals may suspect, but if they do…”

“They’ll most likely suspect it’s the Empire or Jabba covering something up,” Beru finished for him. “Where will we go?”

“Alderaan,” Obi-Wan said. “Or Chandrilla. Whichever has a sooner flight.” Given a choice, his personal preference would be for Alderaan--if only because Senator Mothma had been the one to take their movement public, and Bail’s reputation was still more or less unimpeachable. But either would serve to keep the Larses safe.

“That’s far,” Owen said.

“It will keep you safe,” he said.

In other SW fic news...well, as implied above, I am hoping to get at least one Precipice update out this week, but I’m not 100% solid on that, since I also have an exchange fic I need to finish for next Monday. I’m…behind, lol; there was a lot of waffling back and forth on exactly what I wanted to do for it. But I’m on track now! And I thrive on tight externally-imposed deadlines so I’m not worried about finishing XD.

I am still working on OFLAM, and a new dragonshifters AU I’ve started building, off and on. I’m still sorting out some details for the latter, especially in terms of how many people know about Anakin being a shifter (I would…like to keep it to the bare minimum as of when the Clone Wars starts, meaning while Obi-Wan probably knows the rest of the Order somehow doesn’t? So it’s like a Big Deal when Padme and Ahsoka find out). Most of what I’ve actually written has to do with my girl Bo-Katan, though I’ve done a bit with Padme and Anakin as well. I’m also still. Uh. Searching for an actual Plot??? Beyond just ‘this is a cool concept and there’s significantly/interestingly Different cultural baggage for my three shifters,’ which is about where I am now. Anyway, probably either the shifters AU or OFLAM will end up being my SWBB project for next year, unless I get struck by another interesting ObiAniDala concept, which has been what’s happened the last two years, lol…

In other fandom/non-SW fic news, as I think I mentioned last month, I’ve started drifting back into ATLA fandom. Rereading some of my old fics/RPs, toying with plots/concepts/crossovers of varying levels of self-indulgence…I’m not sure I’m actually going to write anything, but it’s definitely a possibility? If nothing else, I might flesh out/fulltext some of the super self-indulgent stuff I’ve been playing with, just to get it on paper and out of my head. Or I might put together something postable (although the one that’s getting the most traction in my brain actually might work better if I file the serial numbers off and put it into an original story…who knows.) I’m also going to do an organized rewatch of my own at some point (my roommate’s been watching the series, but I’m in and out while she does so I keep missing bits) which will probably finalize any nebulous plans I might have. Anyway, I don’t think ATLA is going to drag me out of SW but I’ll possibly/probably be writing for both for a while? Which I don’t plan to impact Precipice, and I do plan to do BB next year as discussed above, but if this does start happening, other projects will probably be put even more on the back burner/on hold for a while. We’ll see, we’ll see…

I’m also hoping to get some original stuff done this month, because I feel like I’ve been neglecting my own stuff even more than my fic projects lately, lol…

Anyway, this weekend, I’m hoping to get a good bit of writing done. I’ll be somewhere quiet with minimal internet access for a couple days (at least that’s the way it’s been when I’ve been there before, it might have changed since then, who knows). So I probably won’t get distracted by variants of 2048 (that Doctor Who one I don’t even go there AND YET) or watching Netflix or…though I may be bringing my lacework, which also takes a fair amount of time away from writing, so…we’ll see XD

…anyway, this turned out a lot longer than I thought it would. So much for a short update! But in the meantime, what have you guys been up to? Any plans/projects in the pipeline? Open question night? What’s on your mind?

#miscellania #coming attractions #shadowsong writes star wars #precipice verse #preview #feedback greatly appreciated #open question night

Perdita - Chapter 1 (OhmToonz)

So nothing new today I’m afraid, but I’m going to try and work on a couple of things over the week and hopefully have something new out Thursday/Friday.

So technically this is the first BBS fic I ever wrote, the story is the same, but I’ve since rewritten it in my current writing style and actually plan on finishing it XD

Originally I was just going to edit the original version, but I think it works as a nice side by side comparison at how my work’s developed over the last 6 months, so find the original version here.

If this is something you guys like and want I’ll happily upload the rewritten chapters here, otherwise I’ll put them up on ao3 and just link the finished fic for those interested.

Just be warned for Violence and Death

[Ohm POV]

He stared down the scope of his sniper rifle, every fiber of his being wanting nothing more than to drop the gun and run away, but no matter how hard he tried to move, to even flinch his fingers, he couldn’t. He was nothing more than a spectator to his own body’s actions.

Since he’d been taken, he’d been forced to watch himself shoot and torture an endless amount of people, no matter how much his mind screamed at himself to stop, still his body followed through with the orders, all with the promise that one day his body will be his own again.

Today was that day, but after watching the ever-growing river of blood he’d been forced to spill, he wasn’t sure he wanted his body back, knowing he’d be unable to go back to any semblance of his old life when all was said and done.

He’d known his final target since that first day, the most threatening gang leader in Los Santos, and his husband.

Luke was in charge of a small but very powerful gang, one that despite all odds, still managed to rule over the city, with his new boss getting ever more frustrated with every passing day he heard about the BBS.

He fondly looked back on when he used to be one of their frontmen, when he and Luke would rule together, both complimenting each other in ways that meant the only option was success.

The fact that he’d been forcibly taken and watched as the BBS slowly became into disarray, losing territory they’d previously held for years whilst he was unable to go and help them was only another bullet in the wound.

In some of his darker moments, he’d remember back on some of his happier memories with his friends. Like the time they’d set up a huge Mario Kart tournament in the base and you could hear Anthony rage from down the street.

The time that he and Moo had made Christmas cookies for the group, resulting in them almost having to pull out their guns to stop the absolute carnage that ensued when the others found them.

How he trained with Smitty in hand to hand combat for days, supporting the younger man even as he kept getting discouraged by his seeming lack of progress, and celebrating when the other man finally managed to flip him onto the ground, shouting YEET in the process, whatever that meant.

When he spent long nights in the Infirmary, clinging onto the man he loved who he’d been told wouldn’t make it through the night, hoping he could heal him through soft touches and promises of love and how when Luke finally woke, the kiss they shared could make even the devil himself blush.

It was with that thought that he felt his arm cock and his body’s position change, bringing his awareness back to the horror show that was currently his life now.

He saw a black SUV pull up on the street across from him, forced to watch through the scope as he saw the driver get out to open the door for the man sat in the back.

Luke

He felt his heart miss a beat when he saw him, tears already threatening to form as he mentally screamed at the other man to leave, to get back in the car and turn back, to save himself.

As he watched Luke casually talk with the driver, the older man unknowing of his fate, he tried everything he could in an effort to move himself, to twitch his eye, knock his arm off course, anything that would mean the man in front of him would survive, but no matter how hard he tried, his body remained stoic and relaxed.

He knew his record, he’d never missed a shot, which is why he’d been targeted for this job in the first place, that, and because his boss was as sadistic as they come, getting far too much joy at the thought of him killing the person he loved most.

Still, he kept trying to move, but was helpless as he felt his finger tighten on the trigger until he heard Luke laughing, it was his favourite laugh, the one that was light and warm and could always chase away the cold on those nights when he could feel the darkness start to creep into his bones.

Luke, I love you. Forgive me.

He felt more than heard his gun being fired, feeling his tears already begin to fall as he saw Luke crumple in front of him, a streak of blood following him down the car as he collapsed onto the ground.

The sight made him want to scream about how unfair the world was, to jump off of the building or press the barrel of his own gun against his head so that he could join the fate of the man he loved, but as always, his body refused to do anything he wanted.

He’s thankful when his body wasted no time looking at the gruesome scene in front of him, instead turning to put his gun away in its case before standing up to walk through the roof door he’d propped open and make his way back down the building.

When he reached the ground floor he found his boss waiting there to meet him, a smile wide on his face whilst a hand grasped onto his shoulder and gave it a tight squeeze, no mistaking the joy on the other man.

What he wouldn’t give to be able to kill him right here and now, to wrap his hands tight around his throat and watch as the light left his eyes, or to keep him locked up for hours to do as pleased for hours on end to at least make up for the hell his life had become.

“You’ve done well, and as promised you get your freedom back,” He couldn’t help but sneer internally at the comment, plans already forming in his mind of the torture he planned to inflict on the other man “Maybe in the future we could work together again”

He couldn’t help but grimace at the offer, why on earth the other man would even think he’d willingly work with him again was beyond him, but a chilling thought ran through him that he’d be taken again and forced to do his bidding, that he wouldn’t ever truly be free again.

“Oh, and in case you’re thinking of going back to your precious gang again, I’ve let them keep your boytoy’s body, within the hour they’ll find your bullet at the back of his brain so I recommend you get a head start before they start hunting you down.”

The other man’s booming laugh echoed in the room and in the next moment he felt himself get knocked in the head, unable to do anything, he simply opened his arms to embrace the vast emptiness of unconsciousness.

YABAM UPDATE: Chapter 12 is currently at 30k! Some notes on what’s going to happen below the cut, what I can give away without spoiling anything significant anyways. Oh, and two sneak peeks since I feel bad about not updating cuz work suuuuuucks and it’s summer which is basically prolonged overwork hell for me

Would you believe me if I told you I’m only now getting into the buildup to the final fight?? (Which btw will only be one, maybe two phases long at the absolute most--I know I referenced that ship thing Ansem SoD became in KH1 in chapter 1 as foreshadowing but tbh now I’m just gonna stick with the DI phase and maybe part of the fight in the void right before the opening of the DtD. I don’t think anyone wants to read all 7 phases of the fight and I sure as shit don’t want to write all of them lol)

There are some familiar faces you’re going to see! I am very excited!

Remember how the ultimanias/interviews said technically one secret boss in (I think?) every game is canon? I think I’ve said enough w/ that ヽ( ᐛ )ﾉ

Oh! Most importantly, there is going to be quality time w/ Sora and Kairi! The plot hasn’t had any opportunity thus far for it after the very beginning, and I was itching for ages to explore their rapport in a context that wasn’t when either of them were indisposed or in a situation where the worlds were threatening to come down on either of their heads at that very moment. Ya know, a context that’s simple and clean (ba-dum tsssh). In fact, I’ll show you a sneak peek of one of those quality time scenes now:

SNEAK PEEK 1

(But what if there was something you could do? Like have a good luck charm to help turn that roll of the dice in your favor? A wish upon a star that you could hold in your hand, to ebb the waves and turn the tides back home?)

There was a star in Kairi’s pocket.

Five-pointed and complete, made of thalassa shells and twine woven properly throughout. Finished with a small crown-shaped bead in the middle and a painted face on the topmost shell, drawn to look like the person it was meant for. Sora. Kairi pulled it out right then and showed it to her.

“You finished it?”

She nodded. “I was going to make ones for me and Riku too, before that Darkness began to set in on the islands and life got in the way. But I managed to finish yours,” Kairi said as she began to lower it into Sora’s hand.

“You’re giving it to me?”

“On one condition,” Kairi held it just outside of her open palm and raised one finger. “For the charm to work, you gotta promise me you’ll come back after whatever happens over there so we can all be together in the end. That means no more crazy ideas that are going to get you killed. I don’t know if I can turn you back from being a heartless again or not, and I don’t want to find out. Okay?”

“What’ll I do if there’s another dragon?” Sora joked.

“Then we’ll figure out how to handle it together.”

“And what if the only way to save everyone is to do the stabby thing again?”

“Don’t stab yourself!”

“Aw, you’re such a party pooper, Kai.”

“I’m serious, Sora,” Kairi huffed.

Sora paused, then, before finally closing her hand around the charm. And she shot Kairi another smile that was less humorous and more sincere.

“Then I’m serious, too,” She decided. “No matter what happens, I’ll come back and we’ll all be together again. I promise.”

SNEAK PEEK 2

Kairi stopped fiddling with the charm. “What did you say to him?”

“When?”

“There at the end of the fight,” She responded. “You leaned in close and told him something, and all of Riku’s Light came back. I never got the chance to ask when we explained everything to Cid and the rest.”

Sora could feel her face turn hot at the memory and turned away before Kairi could notice.

It took everything she had to hold back Ansem’s keyblade, and Sora’s ears rang from the screech as they collided. Her arms were beginning to tremble from the fight having dragged on for so long. She licked her lips before steeling herself, and thought that if Kairi was right, and Riku really was in there somewhere, that she would only have one chance at this.

“The keyblade,” Sora bore her eyes into his when she spoke, and tried to remember the time when they weren’t Darkened with buried pain and fury coming to the fore. When her memories involving the name ‘Riku’ were not marred by the Dark, and were instead focused on a laugh that made her feel like she was on top of the world. “It never mattered, Riku.”

Sora focused on the memory of a smile—his smile—that lit up everything like even the smallest sliver of the moon through a dreary night. She leaned in.

“It never mattered to me what sort of worlds it helped me see. It never mattered how many friends it helped me make. Because in the end I never forgot you guys,” She leaned in closer yet, and Riku—Sora knew it in her bones that it was Riku breaking through then—flickered his eyes down to her lips for a moment.

“That’s all that mattered in the end to me,” Sora finished. “You were my favorite.”

“Um, j-just the truth,” Sora faltered, and she prayed that Kairi wouldn’t ask any more on that particular matter.

(OH HEY LOOK YOU GUYS KNOW NOW WHAT SORA SAID TO RIKU AT THE END OF THE FIGHT asdfghjkl it’s not that big of a plot point, it’s just shipping stuff so I figured I was safe to let this one squeak out)

As for when the next update is gonna come up...hopefully very soon lol, like the next week? Two weeks? By now I’ve gotten a handle on the timeline(👀👀👀)/sequence of events for this chapter, which was the biggest hurdle to progress. Honestly, prepare for another 48k-long monster or a chapter length close to it (I said I would never do it again, but...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) because there’s a lot to wrap up, and pointedly not wrap up, and set up for the next few fics in the series.

(Oh, and I had to halfway mentally sketch out the sequence of events in BBS to figure out what Aqua was going to say for her role here, so basically writing the very bare bones of another fic and figuring out how to fit it in to the rest of the series formed the bulk of the aforementioned hurdle--watch as my hard work ends up wasted in the end because most of my plans for BBS will probably shift like crazy by the time this series actually gets to that particular novelization loooooool f u c k)

(Oh and another reason as to why I’m struggling with finishing this chapter in a remotely reasonable time frame is because I’M WORKING ON AN ILLUSTRATION FOR THE FINAL CHAPTER!! I wanted an endscreen just like when you finish the game ( ; ᴗ ; ) but it’s kinda detailed and it’s not even going in this chapter it’s going in the epilogue chapter after this one so i dunno why i’m bothering with it right now)

#Y'ALL THOUGHT I WAS GONE DIDN'T YA.#I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD #AGAIN #AND GOSH DANGIT I WILL BRING GOOD TIDINGS WITH ME IF IT KILLS ME #ALSO AGAIN #(and the illustration will have the stats with it too just like in-game but tbh that's so irrelevant and idk why i'm doing that at all)#(beyond nostalgia)#(but anyways just in case you were curious that's incoming)#(eventually.......)#(I know you guys want chapter updates more than you want illustration updates)#YABAM #YABAM news #Your Adventure Begins at Midday #A Light that Calls us Home #ALTCUH news #ALTCUH #ALTCUH Series #jfc so many tags for this #my writing

News Nuggets from Around Disney World

Hey! Look! The site still works! This latest batch of (breakfast?) News Nuggets is a long time coming. I had grand desigins of posting it when I was down in Florida IN DECEMBER, but that slipped. Then, life got in the way, and an iOS beta broke my custom Workflows, and…well..its (still) February.

To try make this post (of over 8 weeks worth of Disney news) a little more timely, I’ve culled some of the original stories I was going to publish, as well modified some of commentary to reflect my experiences and other news I’ve heard about these items.

Of course, the biggest news item that hasn’t already been written about on the site is:

BB-8 To Greet Guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios This Spring – The line for this when it opens is going to be insane. Hopefully, the lack of needing to change costumed people in and out will keep the lines from backing up.

With all that out of the way, on to the News Nuggets!!

Sneak A Peek Inside The New Disney PhotoPass Studio At Disney Springs – Cute. I wonder what virtual backgrounds they’ll have available.

Rumors of the Dr. Strange experience being cut from Hollywood Studios – Kenny the Pirate with a rumor of one of Disney’s first attempts of having a Marvel character in the park during regular hours come to an end.

runDisney Princess Half Marathon Weekend Inspired by Disney ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – Elyssa and I aren’t running the Princess this year (we’re doing Star Wars instead), so we’re not going to get one of those cool Beauty and the Beast medals.

Photo Editing Now Available in My Disney Experience App – The only thing surprising about this is that it took so long for these features to show up.

Sanaa Kuamsha Breakfast Now Available at Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – This doesn’t look any different than what various sites reported a few weeks ago. I guess they’re ready to make the official public announcement now, though.

New Choza Tequila Coming to Epcot in 2017 at Walt Disney World Resort – Does “hand-crafted margaritas” mean they’ll be made when you order them or does “hand-crated” mean they’ll be made by hand and then put into huge jugs for days on end? (Of course, Elyssa will still want one when she walks by.)

2 month Rehab for Walt Disney World Railroad in early 2017. – The train is scheduled to be down from January 9 through March 2nd. That is a bummer during the day, but it makes that area kind of a ghost town for certain parades and evening shows.

Enchanted Tales with Belle removed from Morning Extra Magic Hours. – I don’t think it’s a particularly big loss. This would be a waste of that bonus time.

Disney After Hours Returns to Magic Kingdom Park for 7 Nights in Early 2017 – $119 for everyone is a pretty good, at $89 for AP holders, it’s a no brainer (assuming–of course–that they sell as a few tickets as they did for last year’s event.)

New Star Wars Guided Tour Starts at Disney’s Hollywood Studios January 2 – 7 hours? For $129? Based on that description? I guess I’m going to have wait until someone takes the actual tour, since this just doesn’t make a lot of sense. (Which I still haven’t seen)

runDisney Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side Medals – Hopefully, Elyssa and I will be able to finish these races and get our Kylo Ren medal.

Bus Stop Pizza Kiosks Now Have Breakfast – I don’t use the term “game changer” lightly…(I kid, I kid. “Game changer” means nothing with respect to theme park news these days.)

Tree of Life Garden Returns to Animal Kingdom After Multi-Year Closure – Getting everything in Animal Kingdom in shape for when Avatarland opens (what is now) a couple of months.

Crossroads plaza faces demolition for Disney-area road project – Interesting story, but it’s a long, long way from happening. The state will have to get right of way access to the area first, and I can’t imagine Crossroads and its tenants will go quietly.

Gasparilla Island Grill reopens at the Floridian. – Good timing. You can’t have the major quick service at a resort down for the holidays. (Also, the food here was pretty good. I enjoyed it.)

Upcoming changes to Epcot entertainment acts – Kenny the Pirate runs down some of the upcoming (and now made) changes to Epcot entertainment. Disney seems to have decided to change these various acts a little more frequently over the past few years.

Churros return to the Animal Kingdom. – If you need some evidence that 2017 will be better than 2016.

Okay. That was a lot of nuggets. I need a break.Let’s watch one of the “behind the scenes” looks at Pandora:

Okay, back to the News Nuggets:

[A New Way to Start Your Day at Magic Kingdom Park Begins January 9]( http://ift.tt/2ihXQND) – They’rved moved the Welcome Show to the Hub during the refurbishment of the Railroad. It’s an interesting “test” of how this might work. I plan on writing more about it later (I swear!), but I wanted to share the “news” now.

#DisneyKids: A Vacation Package Perfect for Your Kindermoon at Walt Disney World Resort – It’s an interesting way for Disney to say now (right as they’re about to start school) is the right time to bring your kids to Disney World. WDW News Today pointed out that these packages also include additional Fastpass+ selection for certain “kid friendly” attractions.

Entry bridge to Pandora – The World of Avatar now visible to guests – It’s probably just me, but it feels like they’re going to be able to open this place in time for the summer. (I’m also pretty sure I’m going to regret this post when it’s not open in September.) — I swear I wrote this in December, BEFORE the date was announced!

Photos of Culinary Treats at Epcot International Festival of the Arts at Walt Disney World Resort – These look a little fancier than some of the Food & Wine Items. Of course, it’s just the product photography, so who knows what the final product will end up being.

Joffrey’s Coffee Kiosk to be Added to the Magic Kingdom, Annual Pass Discounts Now Offered – I admit: I just assumed there already was a Joffrey’s at Magic Kingdom. (The discount is nice, though.)

Disney Testing New One-Day Quick Service Dining Plans at Theme Parks, “Disney-Dine-on-the-Go” to Speed Up Sales – I’m going to need more information on this, since–as it stands–I don’t get it. (Since then, I’ve gotten more information. If you are definitely going to eat multiple quick service meals at the Magic Kingdom, it might be possible to get a decent value out of this.)

Magic Kingdom In-Park Cabanas Being Offered at a Discounted Price – For everyone who said “I’d pay $500 for that, but $650 is just too much…” (Sadly, (?) these have now been been removed.)

WDW News Today Rumor that the Paint the Night Electrical Parade Still A Possibility for The Magic Kingdom – Have you seen the people sitting on the sidewalk on Main Street waiting for the nighttime parade? It’s a thing that people just expect to have. Whether it’s Paint the Night or some other parade, Disney really should do something.

Flame Tree Barbecue Retiring Signature Barbecue Sauce – I was never really fan, but I’m sure some people will be very upset about this.

Members to Experience Disney Vacation Club Moonlight Magic – If you own DVC, maybe pay attention to thse dates. Me? I love the multiple paragraphs of disclaimers at the end of the post.

Star Wars: Galatic Nights Special Event starts April 14 at The Studios – Nicely timing to coincide with Star Wars Celebration (which is taking place that weekend). Personally, it sounds like the Magic Kingdom After Hours event would have more value than this $129 event will, but I’ll hold off final judgment until we get some more details.

Express Fresh Pilot to Being Feb. 7 at Contemporary and Yacht Club. – Interesting. A new “quick and casual” option for in-room dining. My fear, of course, is it’s going to be like those sandwiches that you see in the case at an airport (more “express”, than really “fresh”.)

Drinks coming to Paddlefish – I wonder what the craft beer from North Carolina is. Of course, it’s kind of silly for me to go to Disney World and have beer that I can get just as easily at home.

Okay, time for another break. This time, let’s look at this tribute to the late, great Carrie Fisher from The Studios:

Ms. Fisher will be missed, and (shockingly?) I was unable to come up with a way to segway back into the nuggets:

Braves Spring Training to Conclude at Walt Disney World – This is a bummer for me. I liked being able to see some spring training baseball when I was visiting Disney World. I guess I understand the Braves’ point that they are too far away from other spring training teams, but that doesn’t make it less of a bummer for me.

Housekeeping at Disney World to be Reorganized Due to Degrading Service Quality – On the surface, I think this is a good move. Improved quality of room cleaning, etc… doesn’t really have many negatives (though, honestly, I haven’t really ever faced any issues under the current system.)

Paddlefish Set to Open Feb. 4 at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort – Obviously, this is now open. Reviews from 3 bloggers who attended together all seemed fairly positive, including: WDW News Today, Mouse Steps , and easyWDW .

Discover a Timeless Tale with a Sneak Peek from Disney’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Starting Feb. 10 at Disney Parks – After a couple of years, can probably figure out how this is going to: The next big Disney / Marvel movie that’s coming out gets a preview in One Man’s Dream.

Re-Imagined Planet Hollywood Observatory Opens at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort – And we already have less-than-glowing reviews from WDW News Today and (even) the Disney Flood Blog.

One more break before we finish? What do you say? This time, let’s check out the latest Pandora ad:

youtube

That place might be pretty cool in a few months. Now, though, let’s finish out our News Nuggets!

New look parking trams to feature monorail colors and quieter ride – Huh. I never really noticed the existing trams being particularly loud, but–if I think about it–I guess they are.

Starring Rolls Cafe at Hollywood Studios Closing Tomorrow – If “tomorrow” to you is February 4th, that is. Sadly, this is another example of something at the Studios closing, but there being nothing announced to replace it.

Book Your Spot on the New Ultimate Disney Classics VIP Tour at Magic Kingdom Park – $200 for a VIP tour that doesn’t include any of the “mountains” or the Mine Train doesn’t work for me. Maybe if your priorities RE attractions are a little different?

Leaked Image Reveals Ride Vehicle for AVATAR “Flying Banshee” Attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Interesting. I hadn’t even thought that each person (couple? small group?) would get their own Banshee to ride. If that’s really the case, it could be a really different experience from Soarin’.

Making way for The NBA Experience: DisneyQuest at Disney Springs to Close July 3 – So the NBA Experience is still going to be a thing, huh? At a minimum, maybe they’ll really shut down Disney Quest, finally.

Cosmic Ray’s to get a Second Expansion – UNRELATED(ish): I don’t know if Elyssa and I have ever been to Cosmic Ray’s together

Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort engages guests with Chrome signage – Not really a news item, but I figured y’all be able to really impress your family with this key factoid.

Disney CEO Bob Iger confirms possibility of extending tenure past 2018 – Maybe our favorite tipster “Bob from Burbank” can call into to MMoM to give a couple of insights on this.

Doc McStuffins to Greet Fans at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Beginning This Month – Huh. This seems like a weird home for Doc.

Enchanted Rose Cake Inspired by ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – We had an Amorette’s Patisserie cake over Christmas and it was fantastic. (That reminds me, I should probably write about that.)

Theme Park Models Move Out of Walt Disney – One Man’s Dream for Beauty & The Beast and Other Movie Props – I guess I knew this was coming, but it’s still kind of a bummer.

Geyser Point Bar & Grill Opens at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World Resort – As a photographer, I know it’s possible to make things look better in picture than they actually are. That said, this place looks fantastic. (Initial Review from DFB is positive)

Disney makes it official: Charges $5 for each mailing or package received at a Disney Resort. – This just makes me sad. I hate little charges like this.

Rumored Gondola Transportation System Between Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be Constructed – This rumor has been setting the Internet on fire for the past day or two. Personally, I’d love to seem Disney try something like that.

New Bird Shows Have Debuted at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – I’m still amazed that these birds can be trained to be out in the open like this.

More Guest Experiences and Dining Options Coming to Disney’s Coronado Springs and Caribbean Beach Resorts – It sounds like they are really going to make some upgrades to these moderate resorts (including converting Corando Springs into a more “business-y” resort.) The press release has a few more details..

New Menu Items at Jiko – Since Elyssa and I have never been here, we really don’t have any favorites that might get pulled of the menu. That said, I figure Elyssa will still try to get a filet on top of a bed of mac-and-cheese if we do go.

Whew! We’re finally done. Let’s celebrate!
