You know what's interesting to me was the 118 walk out picture was odd to me. And because to me, just based on how the show handles things Hen and Lucy should have switched places. Hen should have been with her partner and her besties daughter. Then you would have full groups, and Lucy on the outside a bit.

Its like the show was trying to clean up their Lucy, backlash which I subscribe they are aware of based on Oliver changing his SM habits.

But you could counter with they still had a scene but the truth is you couldn't cut that scene because it was the catalyst for showing how out of touch Taylor is in Bucks life.

I dont know maybe it was nothing I just still think the shot was framed weird lol. Also though I'm one of the ones that dont worry about Taylor and Lucy and I think the show creators dont either. I dont think they were really thinking many would take Lucy seriously as a partner for Buck you know.

Hey Nonnie

Sorry its taken an age to get to this ask - I got a lot of them all at once and I've been trying to plough my way through them!

I've spoken about this a bit before in another ask, but I'll go into a bit more detail with you about that specific choice of shot and what it means because, while you think its framed weirdly I actually don't because it is achieving several things in relation to the story 911 is telling.

The shot is known as the power walk (its also known as the hero walk after its use in superhero movies!) - it is a common trope seen across film and television and it is all about showing group unity and is very often used when said group has been separated or partially separated before the shot is used. It is about bringing the group back together - which is exactly what it does in this case. Power walks are generally shot from lower down - which is what we see from this one - the camera is positioned so the central point is at waist height rather than eye level - it adds to the drama and gives the characters extra stature - allowing them to fill the frame and makes them look more 'heroic.'

The other thing to note about the power walk shot is where the characters are placed - and how they are grouped. It is less about 'traditional' placements and more about who's stories are important in both the build up and in that moment. The most central character is the most important and the rest fan out from there until we reach the fringes - the least important people. so if we look at the placements used in this scene;

Hen, Buck, Bobby, Eddie, Chimney, May, Lucy.

then we have the groupings - Hen alone, Buck, Bobby and Eddie and then Chimney, May and Lucy.

We can see Eddie is the most important, he is the one who has been separated from the team up to now - he is the one reunited with them so his being central makes total sense.

we then revert to groupings - Bobby becomes second most important, by nature of the fact that he is touching Eddie and the scene is also about him - he is the captain of the 118 and his family have come to his rescue. He is the father figure who was also separated from the team - briefly. Buck is also part of the group - we know he views Bobby as a father figure and he has spent the episode working with Eddie - reunited with his partner and so he is therefore also important in this moment - he is physically connected to Bobby (and probably Eddie because they may have their arms locked together behind Bobby to better support him) and spends most of the power walk looking at Bobby and Eddie - highlighting to the audience both who is important in this moment and also where his attention truly lies - which gains significance later as the episode unfolds - it is a way of subtly hinting to the audience not to get distracted by red herrings.

Chimney comes next - another who has recently returned to the 118 and so a symbol of people returning to the fold. His placement on that side is also important - if you look at the positioning - we have the core of Hen, Buck and Bobby on the left of frame - the three characters who stayed - who didn't leave the 118 throughout the season - they in and of themselves are a separate group even though they are not technically grouped together - this is why Hen and Chim - who would usually be together, cannot be in this shot or this moment. On the right we have Lucy and May - the two people who are not part of the core firefam and then centrally the two who left -Eddie and Chimney - before they returned.

Hen on the left and also alone - slightly separated from the others is also symbolic - as is the fact that she is carrying a medical bag. Hen is the one training to be a doctor - she is the one character who is potentially leaving the firefam - not in the immediate future, but possibly down the line - that is why she is positioned in a way that separates her from everyone.

There is another reason for placing the characters this way - May creates a visual barrier to the audience - her costume is different from all the others in shot thus separating Lucy from the fire fam in a physical way - telling the audience she is not one of them, providing the separation you mentioned because she is apart in a far more visually obvious way, another reason Hen is not over that side instead of Lucy. You also can't place Lucy next to Buck - she needs to be as far away from him as possible because the whole point of creating that barrier is to show her separation, but it is also to show her actual irrelevance to Bucks storyline in the greater scheme of things (as in she is the red herring).

So Nonnie - hopefully this explains why they are all positioned as they were for that shot - it was never going to be cut - its an important moment for the audience to see because it is our fire fam reunited - its symbolic of healing - for the 118 and the audience alike - its a moment for the audience to cheer and feel glad they have made it through all the darkness and separation experienced throughout season 5. Yes there is the element of Taylor needing to see it, but her needing to see it has zero to do with Lucy and everything to do with Bucks family being reunited - the true threat to her relationship.

It also has nothing to do with SM backlash towards Lucy - this shot was always intended - it would have been spoken about in the writers room when they were plotting out the whole of season 5, 5b and then the episode itself and all of that would have happened before any backlash happened. I also very much doubt if that many changes were made to the story over all in regards to Lucy - the more I watch the more I am convinced she is fulfilling the purpose I have maintained since we first learned about her character existing - she is a red herring to help distract from a Buddie reveal too early and her purpose is to help guide both Buck and the audience in the correct direction - I will keep saying it until I'm blue in the face if necessary - her name means guiding light - the fallout from part of her actions is guiding Buck to where he needs to be - away from Taylor, and towards Eddie (which is literally all we have been seeing with the number of domestic Buddie scenes we've had in 5b) - lights cannot shine on themselves so its never been about her and it never will be.

Thank you for your answer to the qu about indio/rdj! It was really nice reading a more positive explanation, honestly. I think the reason it stands out is because its not an isolated incident, like if you read interviews from 2012 onwards, you’ll notice he starts using the singular term ‘kid’ eventho he has 2 and indio was only 18 so its very confusing and thats the case in majority of articles. Also like I said those freudian slips infront of the camera where he’s literally forgotten about his existance and realised and then had to backtrack and correct himself? Not a good look tbh. That being said I dont think he does it maliciously? He just needs to think more because he does it A LOT and i know other people have noticed and commented on it too. I mean the 2014 birthday post thing was just straight up not good and he’s a very emotionally intelligent man so that was definitely a choice. With the dolittle award speech, it was for kca, I would agree w you but the way he specifically said susans name and then exton and avri with little sentences for each is what made it odd. Not to mention he’s never mentioned indio in any of his award speeches and yeah he’s older now but rdj has won numerous awards since he was born but now he’s always mentioning his new kids? Like why such a drastic difference you know? There’s just too many instances so I dont think its the biggest reach but we dont know what their real life is like. It’s just sad to see because its quite obvious that indio has always gotten the shortest end of the stick :( and obv rdj is busy, he’s always away filming or going places and when he isnt, he spends most of the time in his hampton’s place so logistically I dont think they see eachother much — and i say this because i was just thinking about how he’s essentially an only child and his mother isnt doing very well health wise, so yk rdj is basc the only person he really has. I want to think that im exaggerating but honestly i could make a whole book out of the times rdj has acted/insinuated like he only has 2 kids, when age wasnt even relevant. Like even their christmas card from a few years ago, I dont really understand why he didnt include his own son? He wasnt even that old, he had just turned 21 and thats irrelevant anyway, just so odd.... Wow this wasnt meant to be this long, apologies for dragging on and going off on a tangent, i know you dont care too much about this stuff but i really did enjoy reading your opinion! Also idk if what im trying is clear so a small example that isnt very deep is him saying ‘I am married, I have a kid, I have a real life without cameras.’ - from his interview with Times Magazine, Indio was 19 and Exton 1 - ‘A kid’ ? 🥴 like I said not too deep but still weird? Age is not of relevance here, your kid is your kid esp when youre speaking about it the way he is and he basc does this 90% of the time which is why I question it - sorry if ive repeated things again, just wanted to explain my thinking better :)

hmm okay. honestly, i really won’t be giving this much more thought because at the end of the day, it’s really not our business and like i said before, we don’t know what their relationship is and we can’t judge it just from the few social posts and publicly accessible video clips that are available.

it wouldn’t do anyone any good to overanalyze this. i’m generally a glass half full kind of person and i don’t think indio is being overlooked by his parents. robert was extremely supportive of him throughout his trial. he supports his son’s music career which is obviously one of the most important things in indio’s life right now. jimmy (rip angel), who was robert’s right hand man and was basically with him almost every day, was extremely close to indio. davy and travis, who also work closely with robert, also know indio well and interact with him regularly on socials. i just don’t think, if robert and indio had a poor relationship, that his inner circle would be close to indio. but they are, and their obvious connection is robert. for me, by all accounts, i believe he’s being as good a father as he can be for indio.

again, there is a lot we don’t know and we can’t just assume one thing or another just because we get a glimpse into 2% of their lives. we don’t know them personally. we don’t know their family dynamics. we can’t just project and fill in the gaps (and there are a lot of gaps here) when we don’t have all the information, nor is it any of our business, to be honest.

#anyway. that’s that on that #rdj #indio falconer downey #indio downey #anonymous #ask

Texts from the Lost Tomb, part 5.4

I swear folks once I get this and the last part up I’m gonna condense it all

But yeah couldn’t resist some <3

Zhang and Wu Chat

Wu Xie: Um. I’m all done with the shower if you want a turn.

Zhang Qiling: I’m alright without one.

Wu Xie: sooo are you pissed at me still?

Zhang Qiling: ? I have not been angry with you since the ladder incident.

Wu Xie: you’ve barely said anything since the necklace thingy

Zhang Qiling: I believe it is a long-running joke amongst my friend group that I do not, in fact, say much.

Wu Xie: okay but there are multiple gouges in the tea house walls that would suggest you had somewhat strong feelings today

and I kinda caused the events that sparked said feelings

so just checking in you know

Zhang Qiling: I was not angry so much as I was afraid. More afraid than I’ve been in a long time.

Wu Xie: ??? But it has worked out fine??? Everyone made it out alive and Uncle Erbai gets to feel morally superior to the Zhang family for a while so today was a win overall

Zhang Qiling: I heard you scream. I didn’t know what had happened. I couldn’t get to you right away. Therefore, I was afraid.

Wu Xie: ohhhhh. oh, Xiao Ge. It’s alright now—hey the necklace was actually helping u look out for me:) It’s not like those ppl were actually trying to hurt me, really. Your family isn’t so bad, at least you don’t have any uncles you know of

today was just some big misunderstandings wrapped in some poor life choices. Tbh my memoir title

I feel kind of stupid for screaming but when a glowing necklace wraps itself around your neck it’s a little uhoh moment lol

I did like the design tho def my aesthetic.

Zhang Qiling: I am pleased that it was able to protect you when I was not.

Wu Xie: Uh no you are not allowed to get all emo abt this it’s only like 3pm

damn time flies when it’s flashing before your eyes lol

Are you on the roof? You’re def on the roof. I thought I heard the tiles moving over my head. Come down or I’m coming up.

Zhang Qiling: I will be down in a moment. Do not come outside, it’s cold and raining.

Wu Xie: you know, Zhang Rishan said he thinks the necklace might be linked to you, somehow

something from long ago, even though you wouldn’t remember it.

It’s lucky that it liked me, huh:)

Zhang Qiling: Yes. Quite lucky.

Babysitters Club Chat

Wang Pangzi: AWW LOOK AT HIM NAPPING ON YOUR SHOULDER SO CUTE. BEBES HAD A BIG DAY. YOU TWO ARE PRECIOUS. BE GOOD AND POSE FOR THE PICTURE NOW.

Zhang Qiling: No. Also, I am considering what steps I should take with Zhang Rishan. Regardless of his concern for the Zhang family line, his actions were unacceptable.

Wang Pangzi: HES DROOLING A LITTLE ON YOU WHICH IS LESS CUTE BUT I CAN CROP THAT PART

LOOK I KNOW YOURE STILL PISSED. IM NOT EXACTLY CALM MYSELF, I JUST HAVE WAYS TO SKIRT AROUND TIANZHENS BULLSHIT FILTER THAT YOU LACK

GET ON MY LEVEL

WU ERBAI WILL HANDLE IT, THINGS HAVE SETTLED I THINK

BUT ABOUT THAT NECKLACE

SO INTERESTING HMMM

Zhang Qiling: I am the patriarch of my family. The necklace behaved as I would, apparently, to protect a vulnerable family member. Wu Xie’s bad cold last week activated it, and it responded to a perceived danger to him today. Simple enough.

Wang Pangzi: UH HUH

A FAMILY MEMBER

THE NECKLACE REALLY SAID LOVE WINS

TOLKIEN COULD NEVER

Zhang Qiling: It protected him on a technicality. But I will not allow him to bear the burdens of my family ever again. It has taken so much from him already.

Wang Pangzi: YEAH SURE BLAH BLAH DESTINY BLAH BLAH ANGST

“A TECHNICALITY” WOW WHO SAID ROMANCE WAS DEAD

ANYHOO IM SCREENSHOTTING THIS FOR UR WEDDING RECEPTION SLIDESHOW

YA KNOW DURING MY SPEECH

Friends of Wu Xie Support Group Chat

Hei Yangjing: you’re welcome for everything today<3 I accept PayPal, although of course it is always my honor to assist my friends:)

Wang Pangzi: WE ARENT PAYING YOU SHIT

Zhang Qiling: You did absolutely nothing.

Hei Yangjing: whoa whoa maybe I wasn’t threatening family members or busting up load-bearing walls like some undying divas I could name but I totes helped

or at least I was there for moral support maybe?

Zhang Qiling: The only reason I knew you were there at all was that as I lowered my blade from Zhang Rishan’s neck, I heard the camera click and saw you were taking a selfie making a peace sign, angled to have the two of us in the background.

Xie Yuchen: I saw it on social media just now. The caption is “#greatdaycatchingupwiththelads #blessed”

Wang Pangzi: TBH KIND OF JEALOUS I DIDNT THINK TO DO THAT

Hei Hangjing: okay yeah you see Xiao Ge that is a modern kind of help I should’ve known you wouldn’t be aware

It’s called performance, you wouldn’t understand

it’s a ‘Gram thing

Also it means I’m a great person

Bc letting you handle the situation was my gift to you

Zhang Qiling: Wu Xie mentioned there is something called “blocking ppl” that gets them out of my phone.

Hei Yangjing: nah

Can’t trust that Wu Xie, bae can’t tell a coffin from an urn amirite

it’s not a thing, blocking

Xie Yuchen: It is a thing. I’ll show you later, Zhang Qiling.

Wang Pangzi: YOU BOYS GO GET CLEANED UP AND COME BY AROUND 9 I SNAGGED SOME OF ZHANG RISHANS BOOZE ON THE WAY OUT

Bonnie and Clyde Chat

Hei Yangjing: you looked pretty comfortable in those handcuffs earlier ;););)

Xie Yuchen: Go to sleep, idiot.

Hei Yangjing: You’d have to do something to tire me out ;););)

Xie Yuchen: Are you like this around Wu Xie? Not that I care, I’m just asking.

Hei Yangjing: uh that’s a big nope

First off all Idk when I’ll die but Id prefer it to be on my terms and not at the hands of those other two

Secondly there is a part of me that remembers how adorable he was when he was younger and that makes it weird

(No offense but u were not adorable. He was bebe luke skywalker, you were bebe princess leia I am obvs Han Solo 4lyfe)

Also I’m a little scared that if i flirted with him and he flirted back he’d be better at it.

Xie Yuchen: All valid concerns.

Hei Yangjing: as cute as he is I don’t really wanna tap that.

Xie Yuchen: I see.

Hei Yangjing: do you tho

Main Chat

Wu Xie: okay folks who wants cocoa to top the evening off? I picked some up today:D

Wang Pangzi: UH YOU SPENT YOUR DAY BEING KIDNAPPED AND PLACATING A SENTIENT NECKLACE WHEN DID YOU HAVE TIME TO GET GROCERIES

FRANKLY THATS INTIMIDATING

Wu Xie: the tea house gift shop:)

Wang Pangzi: …YOU BOUGHT COCOA FROM YOUR KIDNAPPERS. FROM THEIR GIFT SHOP. DURING YOUR KIDNAPPING.

WU XIE

WU XIE WHY

Wu Xie: I mean we were there the whole day, it felt impolite not to buy anything.

Wang Pangzi: OH RIGHT GREAT POINT ID HATE TO BE RUDE TO THEM AFTER THEY WENT TO THE TROUBLE OF ABDUCTING US

LISTEN WHEN PPL STEAL YOU IT BECOMES FREE REIGN ON THEIR SHIT

UGH YOU PROBABLY GOT A RECEIPT AND EVERYTHING

WAS UR LITTLE SHOPPING TRIP BEFORE OR AFTER THEY STUCK U IN A DUNGEON TO EXPERIMENT ON YOU

WAIT NVM I DONT WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT

Wu Xie: look, let’s focus on the positives/ we are all okay, and we learned something new, that necklace is still active! It’s really quite nice-looking when it isn’t moving of its own volition.

Wang Pangzi: YOU AND YOUR RELENTLESS DUCKING OPTIMISM

ZHANG QILING ARE YOU SEEING THIS

Zhang Qiling: I would love some cocoa. I’ll come to the kitchen.

Wu Xie: I have special marshmallows for you!!

Wang Pangzi: I SEE

WE ARE SUBSCRIBING TO THE PRESTIGIOUS “FUCK IT WHY NOT” SCHOOL OF THOT TONIGHT

LOL SURE LETS GO COCOA IT UP

IVE GOT SOMETHING STRONG TO POP IN IT

Wu Xie: Still thinking about that design… I’d love another chance to examine that necklace under less Zhangy circumstances.

Kinda sad we couldn’t borrow it to use for illnesses and dangerous missions :/

ah well it’s for the best, a family heirloom should be treasured, preserved and protected<3

Zhang Qiling: I put it on your dresser.

Wu Xie: ???????

Wang Pangzi: AND THATS WHY YOU AND I ARE FRIENDS, XIAOGE <3

Wu Xie: I—

Zhang Qiling: Are those bunny-shaped marshmallows for me?

The Boyfriend Tag [Calum Hood Edition]

Summary: an unfiltered interview featuring Calum Hood and his girlfriend.

Words: 4.7k

“Hello! I’m Calum Hood, from 5 seconds of summer” He greets to the camera.

“My name is (Y/n) and I am dating this guy. Today! we are going to be answering this tag thing” I answer in a more excited tone, as I point at the camera.

“The whole band has done it, it’s only fair I do it as well” He mentions “We’re currently at home, where we all should be” He says, looking at the surroundings of our sweet home “...so we have more than enough time to get to this”

I smile “And here it is”

_______

How did we first meet?

“Through friends” Calum explains shortly “it was nothing super special, sadly, she just happened to be friends with one of my friends and that’s how it happened” he shrugged.

There was really not much to tell, Our story simply happened in a very natural way.

“My friend invited me to LA and I met him in...If I’m not mistaken it was at a brunch party?” I explain.

“You’d be right” he nods “then a series of things happened and she ended up joining our team”

I smile to the camera “In case you didn’t know. I’m a music editor, I like producing and tweaking, so you could say we would see each other a lot” I shrug.

“And things happened, went on a couple of dates, did my magic…” he added, moved his fingers in front of the camera in a funky way and finished with a “...and here we are”.

Where was our first date?

“We went to a concert” I exclaimed, growing really excited at the memory “it was crazy, we literally started with a bang”

“Yep and it wasn’t planned at all” he laughs, rubbing his jaw with his hand as he spoke “I originally had the plan to go with Ashton to this Chainsmokers show, we wanted to take advantage of that to talk with Drew and Alex after, but Ashton got really sick and since I had the ticket and couldn’t just let it go to waste, I asked this beauty to go with me” he said, reaching over to squish my cheek.

I move away as an instinct, but I love it.

“It was awesome, those guys really put up a good show” I add, smiling as I spoke “I got really drunk that night”

Fun fact. I don’t know what came over to me the night of our first date, but for some reason, alcohol played a big part that night, it was embarrassing, but it was worth it. After all, we made a great memory out of it.

“Tell me about it” Calum said, rolling his eyes.

I blushed, but before he could say anything else, I swang over to him and covered his mouth “Shhh” I giggle, scotting over to his side “He kind of babysat me, sorry babe” I said, uncovering his mouth.

“Kind of?” he asked with a sarcastic tone “Geez, I can’t even answer to that. Next question, I don’t want to tell this story” he said, shaking his head.

I roll my eyes “Drama queen” I shrug “I got drunk and he had to take care of the rest, it was both fun and weird”.

“Next” he states, passing on to the next question.

What was your first impression of me?

I have to take a moment to answer this question, not because I don’t know what I like, but because I struggle remembering what exactly was that caught my attention. It only took me a few seconds to answer.

“My first impression of you was that you were really quite but still very present in the room” I speak first “it’s hard to explain, because we literally met in the middle of a conversation but basically” I try to explain, shifting a little in my place “I remember standing in one place and hearing stories from other people, I was completely not familiar with anything, I didn’t know any of them so everything they said was pretty much new, but you always had a fun insert to add, even though you barely spoken that was something that stood out for me a lot” I say, nodding towards him.

“Mine was more or less the same, actually” he says, acting surprised about my answer “because you’re always very quiet when being on a crowd and that stuff, you always stand back from having too much attention” he explain. “it’s funny because, the first day I met you I remember, I greeted you and all, we didn’t really talked to each other and I didn’t hear you talk either, however, when our food delivery came in the first thing I heard you say was ‘yo, I bet you can’t sniff of this paprika’” he says, a smile growing on his face, until full giggles starting coming out of his lips.

“Did you really had to say that on camera?” I sigh, acting annoyed, but I really wasn’t.

“It was hilarious” he says, still laughing.

I know this is a fact that kind of embarrass me, but watching laugh it off was completely priceless.

When did you meet my family?

“I met your family on the day you launched your third album” I start answering the question, as soon as he finishes reading. “it was such a big moment and you flew everyone in, it was the first time I ever got to interact with your mother and -well- everyone, as your girlfriend and not just a friend” I explain “also it was the first time I stayed over at your place for more than two nights”

“It was a extended pijama party” he mention, nodding at the camera with a serious look “no, uh, there’s a reason behind all that. When it came to this situations, I very much preferred for her to stay at mines while my family was in there than to have her alone at her apartment, so I took the chance” He shrugged, reaching over to pat my tight. “It was fun!”

“It was very fun” I nod agreeing “I love how your mom takes the lead in the kitchen and no matter what you say, she is the one in charge” I laugh, remembering all those discussion for who was the first cooking dinner at the house.

“Mom doesn’t love my cooking” Calum admits with a sigh.

I nod “I don’t know why, if I’m honest” I add“She makes some exceptional fish and chips though, it’s just...”

I have to close my eyes to add some drama into all these. I loved food, and that was definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I knew Cal’s mom loved to cook, and it was an honour for me to try her meals, they were heaven on earth.

“Yeah I know” he chuckles “How did I meet yours?” he asks to himself and sighs “I didn’t”

My jaw tenses a little, I don’t know how I didn’t see this coming but I didn’t care at all.

“I’m an orphan, don’t cry for me, I’m fine, I don’t need to talk about it” I state, moving over to his side and hugging him “you are my family”

He smiles softly at me. “Yes I am, baby” he says kissing my forehead. “Next”

Who said “I love you” first?

“Eh...I did” I admit, with a shy smile on my face “guilty” I add, raising my hand.

“She did” he seconds, pointing at him. “it was adorable”

That phrase made me cringe for some reason. Not that I denied it wasn’t adorable, it was just some awkward moment that I came out of me and I still feel unsure of. I am not often the one who speaks up, so doing this was pretty ballsy.

“Was it?” I ask, unsure “It was too soon, I dont know...”

“It was alright, really” he says, shaking his head and going over to rub on my arm a little “we were having one of our famous, drink and watch, where we watch movies and every time something specific happens, we drink a shot” he starts telling the story, also making the fun add on of our usual date nights.

“And I was like, woooh woooh” I say, trying to imitate that very moment. I lean over him, and leaning my head too close to his, I press my head on his cheek and whisper “I loaf you, Cayum” making it coming out as a loud muffled sound.

“God dammit” he giggles moving away just a little “I mean, it did sound like that, but it was cute and I said it back” he says, rounding his arm around my shoulders and pulling me closer.

“At first I felt weird because I thought I shouldn’t have said it right there at that moment, but if I’m honest” I add “I was fine”

“We were fine” he continues, leaning in to kiss my temple “more than fine”

What dressing do I always wear?

I look at him up and down. It’s kind of funny, because with this whole situation, we both happen to be in our pajamas, so our dressing code has been turned around for the moment. My vision of what he could be wearing on the daily has been distorted.

“Pfff” I sigh “I don’t know, I really don’t” I confess. “You are very weird with fashion, I must say, I don’t think you often wear the same thing” I say, looking over at him.

“I sure do, I can think of a couple things” He says, smiling at me with a teasing smile, silently encouraging me to think.

“Well, you do wear hoodies often, at home mostly” I say, being the first thing I can think of

“Like this one, actually, it’s like your morning hoodie” I giggle, reaching over to tug on the hood.

He was wearing that very soft white hoodie he would reach over to every morning, if there was a little bit of a breeze out there. She loved it, it was a nice piece of clothing to hug him in.

“There you go, see?” He chuckles, shaking his head “Mine is easy because every day of your life you wear socks that reach your ankles and beyond” He smiles, looking down at my feet and staring at my socks.

“Ding ding ding!” I celebrate, smiling at him “You are so right!” I laugh.

He nods, he knows he was right.

“Show the public, please” he suggests, giving me the honours.

“I have pineapples today” I say, lifting my foot as much as I can and holding it up to the camera. “Yesterday I had dogs and I have all kind of patterns, I love collecting socks” I smile, looking down at the pretty pattern and admiring it.

“It’s a fun thing to collect, I like it a lot actually” He admits, staring at it too “Do you have your 5SOS socks already?” he asks, as I lower my leg to its previous position.

I roll my eyes “Oh, shut it” I groan, he breaks to laugh and he knows why. “you didn’t let me design socks for your merch, now I don’t want anything” I say, scooting away from him

“Right” he laughs, shaking his head and laughing “Next question”.

Weird habit of each other?

“I know one of yours” he says before I can even answer. He turns to me, looking at me with a mysterious smile. “I’m going to leave it at your choice, should I tell or should I not?”

I look at him with the same look he gives to me, trying to see in him what he had in mind. I might have some weird habits, I was just hoping he wouldn’t pull out the worst.

“Shoot” I say, glaring at him.

“Everything you do, you find a way to relate it to a meme” he says, looking straight at me and laughing as he speaks “I don’t even know how you do it, you just do”

“Oh man! that’s not that bad, but I wasn’t expecting that at all” I laugh as well, finding it kind of funny that we went in with this one “I don’t think you have a bad habit, but, if I must say one, I would say your silence” I say slowly, not really sure if that even count. “you are one quite soul, Cal” I add, bumping our shoulders together

“Am I?” He says, raising an eyebrow up as he spoke.

I nod “It’s like, sometimes I ask you something and you just do this” I explain, resting my head over my chin and looking straight at him, saying nothing but still saying much. “I’m not a mind reader, pal” I mumble, still looking at him.

He leans over and touches my forehead with his, looking at me straight in the eyes and mumbling. “You should know what it means”

I roll my eyes. “Uh huh”

He would never admit his silence was weird, but that’s okay, it was something of him that I really liked.

How long have we been together?

“Almost two years” Calum says, his voice sounding sort of surprised as he spoke.

“It doesn’t feel like two years, how scary” I add, leaning my head on his shoulder “I feel like time really flies lately, these past two years between working with you, having all these changes and moving to this city, I felt like it’s only been a couple months” I mention, reflecting about all of the little things that have led us to this moment.

“That happens when you’re having fun baby”

I smile, bumping my shoulder to his “It’s been the best two years, I hope you know that”

What was our first road trip?

“Here’s the thing” he says, taking the lead “We often do small road trips to little parts of the city, so I would dare to say our first road trip together was... Mexico?” he says, looking at me in doubt.

“I think so, I’m not sure” I say, thinking about it as well. “but I think our most special trip was not even a road trip, it was a full on trip, remember?”

He frowns a little, turning to look at me looking for more clues. I didn’t gave more information away, if he knows, he knows.

“Which one?” He asks, still thinking about it.

“The first trip we did together, we were around 8 months, I would say” I say, still maintaining the mystery, until I decided to drop it. “We went to Australia, made a stop for three days and then New Zealand” I explain.

“Oh that’s right! yeah, you are right” he nods energetically at my answer. “We went visiting my family and exploring, it was a whole deal” he explain, now with a smile on his face.

“I think that even counts as a road trip, we used your uncle’s jeep, visited some awesome places” I say, smiling as well “I loved it, I always wanted to go to Auckland and having the chance of exploring the city was the best thing ever”

He nods, agreeing with me. That particular trip was the first trip we ever did together as a couple and it was worth every second.

“I had fun too, it was a very special time” He agrees. “Fun fact, a song came out of that trip, and you would never guess which one, but if you do, let me know and I might tell a story” He states, pointing at the camera, and looking at it with a completely serious look.

“Please do, guess” I chuckle at that statement “That story is going to fuck me up”

First thing you noticed about me?

“Now this is a question I like a lot” Calum states, sitting up straight and getting excited about his answer “Here’s the thing, the first time I met you was on this brunch thing and it was... a private event” he starts “it was interesting because in this event they had like a whole dancing thing, musicians, a DJ... the thing is, there was a particular moment of the event where they were playing jazz and the way she lost it while listening to that... that was priceless” he noticed, smiling at me “the way you lose yourself with music it’s something I won’t ever get tired of” he said in honest words.

That statement made my heart warm up. Those were one of the most adorable things he had ever said to me.

“Thank you” I said, with a hand on my chest. “The first thing I noticed about you is how good you are with words” I said, as part of my answer “I think some people, especially guys, sometimes come out as assholes when they want to cause a good impression, but surprisingly, he was the first guy who when he first came up to me, I felt comfortable” I shrug, looking at the camera and smiling softly.

There was really not much to say, I felt like my answer said a lot.

Calum smiled softly at me and reached my place, and while he caught me in his arms he mumbled “Come here”.

And then we fall onto the floor, as we washes me in kisses.

Tell us a fun fact about you

We both stare blankly at different points as we think of an answer. It should be easier than this, but for some reason, it is being more difficult than we thought to come up with a good answer to fill in this question. We could say so many things, but none of them would be the most appropriate one for this.

“Fun fact” I start, after our moment of silence “the first time we kissed, very first time, I was really drunk, but I would say, it wasn’t that noticeable or at least that’s what I thought”

I see Calum notices what I am saying right away, because once I start my story, his face goes from a frown to a surprised expression very quickly. Suddenly everything taking a bit of sense for him.

“I know where you’re going” he says, shaking his head.

“He asked me how it felt, like the kiss, how I felt about it” I continue “and I said ‘Ew’”

I wish I could help it, but everytime I tell a story like this, I can’t help but breaking to laugh, without having enough control over myself. I almost have to lay back, because I am laughing so much I can hardly sit still, but I don’t do that, I just hold on to my boyfriend and do my thing. I was such a fun story, the embarrassing part of it worn off completely by how funny it was.

“That was the most discouraging moment of my life” He explains, joining as well into my little laughing fit and shaking his head.

“I know, I’m sorry” I said, cleaning a small tear off my eye “I didn’t mean it! I was drunk, plus, I think I say ew and ouch out of its context more times that I could count” I mention.

“Now, that is very true” he says, laughing as well as he turns his look back at the camera and mumbles “Next question”

Tell us a secret

“No” Calum says.

So we move on to the next question.

What am I good at?

“She’s excellent at cooking the best things in the worst times” Calum explains as soon as he’s given the chance “and what I mean by this is that, most of the time when there’s a storm or, just like a month ago, we were confined and she would do deserts like everyday, It was so good I would forget for a second about what was surrounding me” He admitted, looking at me for a second before going back at the camera.

“I’m glad you like it” I smile, suddenly feeling very excited. “I do instagram lives every time I cook, It’s a lot of fun” I add.

He nods “You see me in the back, like, ‘what’s that white spongy thing?’” he mentions, making a weird voice just for laughs.

I giggle. “What’s that white dust on the table?” I follow, completely being aware of the double-sense.

“Is that mint? Or cilantro?” He adds.

“Oh geez” I laugh, at that last one. “People roast me in the comments all the time, because I make stuff like, burritos, or maybe chicken teriyaki, and then you come over and can’t eat anything” I roll my eyes, shaking my head at the camera.

He presses his lips together at my mention and nods.

“I don’t eat meat” he mentions, shrugging “but I don’t mind at all, I don’t care if you eat meat”

I nod “I always prepare like one ratio and leave some for if you wanna try, but…” I shrug “I wouldn’t tease you into it”

“I know babe” He says, going to reach my cheek and pinch it.

I move away from his touch as I say “I’m not even going to answer this so… next!”

Favorite feature about each other?

“His face is the stretchiest ever” I say with excitement in my voice.

Without a doubt, I get up and walk right behind him, because I just need to do something. It's a necessity, this is something I do on the daily, showing the public was something I wanted to do so badly.

“Look at this” I said, placing my hands on his cheeks and squishing them…stretching… squishing… stretching… squishing… I had so much fun.

“I have so much fun doing this, it’s like playdough in my hands” I say, caressing my boyfriends face.

“Okay, alright” he laughs, taking my hands away from his face. “My favourite thing is this” he says, still holding onto my hands and suddenly tugging on them hard.

Before I even noticed, he was grabbing both of my arms together, and with great skill, he pulled my whole body over his shoulders, and as he got up from his seat and walked back.

“What?!” I yelled loudly “Put me down!”

He does as I said, and as he walked to the back of the room, he let me down right beside him.

“She’s so tiny” he laughed, ruffling my hair playfully “I can carry her in my bag”

I rolled my eyes “No, I’m not” I whined “Stop”

He laughed again, and as he lifted his arm, and rested his elbow on my head. “See this (Y/n) to Calum ratio” he mocks “I’m half a person”

“Perfect size” I giggle, pushing him aside playfully. “Now that you’ve exposed my height, can we keep going please?” I say, almost begging.

If we kept going with this, I could easily turn from funny to not so funny anymore.

What do we argue about the most?

Once again, we stay quiet for a good second, but not because we don’t know, it’s because there was really not an specific answer we could give. I don’t we even knew what to say.

“I would say, the majority of times, we argue for the most dumb things you could imagine” I say, answering for the both of us “But about serious things, it’s something very rare” I shrug.

“I think our trending topic when discussing about something, it’s about me misspelling words when writing, and her losing it” he says, pointing at us and totally throwing me a look.

“Dude” I sigh “Because then people will read and take it the wrong way, not cool” I argue.

“It doesn’t matter, you just explain” he shrugs, completely not caring.

“You need to listen, that’s what you need to do” I roll my eyes “Read a book, punk” I let out.

His eyes widen at my answer. “Oh is that it?” He says looking at me directly.

I crack a smile, going to hug him, before he thought I was serious about this. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding” I let him know.

I would never tell him something like that on purpose.

Nicknames for each other?

I sigh. “Sadly, I don’t have anything other than Cal, and all the regular sappy nicknames” I shrug “I know I’m terrible, sue me, I don’t care”

I speak honestly, all super creative nicknames were over thought and they could be weird sometimes. I was too classy to use anything overly new.

“That’s mean, because I do have a couple of names for you” he mentions “Sweetie pie, Baby… The others I can’t reveal” he says slowly, patting my thigh with his hand.

my nose scrunches “Why?” I ask.

“They’re very confidential, you should know that” he says, shaking his head.

I shrug. “If I’m honest, I don’t know” I giggle “But I’ll keep the secret if that’s what you want”

He smiles, and leaving kiss on my cheek, we move on to the next question.

Complete this sentence “You’re my……..”?

“Oh, this is the famous question” he says after reading the question out loud. A smile cracking on his face as he looked at me.

“Was there a famous question?” I asked, raising my eyebrow.

“All the guys were talking about this one, I’m sure you guys are enjoying this” he smiled at the camera and pointing at It. “Luke’s girl cried” he mentioned to me.

My eyes widen “Did she?” I say, my mouth forming a pout “Oh man, I haven’t seen that” I sigh “You first”

He nods, already knowing that he would be the one taking the lead first.

“You are my saviour” he says, going to grab my hand. “I know it might sound sappy and you hate it, but it’s the truth. Before you I was a lonely guy, even when I had friends, I still felt pretty lonely, and I really appreciate the fact that I found someone who I can talk to, share moments… someone who I can lean on, It’s something that really gets me thinking… If it wasn’t for you, I would be sad” he says, pressing his lips together as he looked at me.

“Really?” I asked in a whisper. He nods. “Cal…”

I wish I could keep it together, but hearing him say something like this… I’m front of a camera. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, we’ve been in these kinds of situations before, but right now, it felt different, and it felt special.

“No, baby, don’t” he chuckles when sees my eyes starting to Glow. “See?” He tells the camera with a smile.

“I don’t even know what to say…” I sigh, shaking my head “You’re my partner” I say smiling. “Probably sounds weird, because it’s obvious, but I mean it, you’re my best friend, I love spending time with you, I always look forward to be with you and have you by my side, I can tell you everything and I trust you more than anyone, I think being with you is without a doubt, the best decision I have ever taken in my life” I admit.

The grin on his face is a real one, and once I finish with my words, he gives a squeeze to my hands, and leaves a kiss in both of them.

“Come here, baby” he whispers, pulling my into his arms. “I love you, I love you, I love you” he says, kissing my cheek a lot.

“You’re squishing me” I laugh “I love you so much, a million times, more than you do”

And more than he could imagine…

_____

“So, this was our version of the girlfriend and boyfriend tag, I hope you enjoyed” I say first, as I smiled to the camera.

“We also hope this brought you enough entertainment during this time, we for sure had a good time doing it” He continues for me, waving at the camera. “Until the next time, and remember to stay safe, bye!”

With this, we both lift our hands, and wave energetically at the camera, we turn of the camera, and our version of this tag was completed.

It was a wrap!.

Since I have no chill

My Avatar OC’s for each entity!

Under cut cause length

Buried! Since I love the esoteric meanings, they appear as a kind person who asks you a favor (slightly eye touched) but it soon becomes one thing after another and another until you’re buried in expectations and stress, especially impacts those with anxiety/fear of failure. No concrete design in mind, but probably a diminutive old lady (mama issues yo)

Corruption~ A nice church girl, who goes to church (and reads her biiibleeee) Who just really vibed with God Loves All His Children. When she saw a ladybug in her hair, she thought it was God showing his love to her (from an old saying her grandmother had), and when they started coming from her ears, eyes, nose, mouth, wherever, that’s just proof she embodies Gods love to show to everyone. Honestly well meaning, but thinks people are afraid out of shame rather than Whoops All bugs

Dark. (Okay since it’s so simplistic I have a lot of trouble with Dark but here goes) So they’re a subversive type, going more for blindness than actual darkness. Y’know when you shine a really bright light and it washes away the details of what its pointed at? That’s them, they are/generate such a blinding, washing light, that you’re as unaware as you are in pitch darkness, only it subverts the comfort and safety the light supposedly brings. They’d still be Edge AF tho.

End. A stone mason who makes headstones for people who haven’t passed away yet, but gives a date. Kinda like the weird death prophecy book, if they try to change it, the date will just change, but it’s even scarier when it doesn’t change. Secondary effect: The epithet will also show how one will be remembered, if at all, before inevitably deteriorating into nothing.

EyE. So there’s this one artist whose paintings always have one person looking directly into “camera” to be directly facing the viewer, basically that as a person, no matter where or when you look, you’ll always match eyes with them, and you don’t know who they’re really looking at.

FLESH Face-Stealer. Pretty Stranger-Aligned, but they vibed with the body modification more so than the uncanny valley aspect of it all. They’ll replace someone, murder their friends + Family and switch between them, because under the skin we’re all the same meat after all.

lonely. A simple kind of person, they have the power to warp perception, making someone hyper-aware of any negative social tick on a person, making them feel like everyone is against them or negative towards them.

Stranger? Happy Faces Everyone! Sort of the opposite of the Lonely guy, they’d make everyone around them super positive and friendly, for nor reason! Even the worst people, the most aggressive, will be kind with a big smile on their face (such as “You did this for me? What’d you do with the real *insert name here*) Feel like their kindness is a lie yet? Feel that paranoia set in? Feel the performative nonsense of it all?

V a s t . My main self-insert Sona, the eldritch park ranger! Loves the forest, and you will too! Or you won’t doesn’t really matter! Cause the trees start coming and they dont stop coming!

Web. Matchmaker, Matchmaker, make me a match~ Find me a find~ Catch me a Catch~. Ties people together by “coincidence” and “chance” until they become convinced it’s not an accident, even if its contradictory to their nature. Why did you, who couldn’t care about makeup or skin care, walk into the beauty shop to see the girl who, while never playing a console video game, walked into your game store? The two would never go anywhere though, always being tugged away by something or other before a match could be made, keeping the two in frustrated, endless pining, while removing any other choices.

Extinction, for fun! A modern tech CEO. Gentrification, anti-homeless architecture, making everything all bland and techy and overpriced until everyone is forced out or conformed, could give Elias a run for his money.

I saved four for last because i’ve come up with a sort of Eldritch Gang Band, and aside from my Park Ranger, i’ve developed them the most. They go by the Misfreaks as a band name, and do some good gigs outside of eldritch monster work

Khaos(Kah-oes) Kween, Desolation avatar, anti-capitalist, lead singer, and has one hell of a baseball bat swing. The most aggressive of the four, and loves to break everything. When she gets all Desolation-y, her bat gets red hot, but her real power is to melt away memories of anything she burns. Hates The Lightless Flame tho.

Hunter King (that’s actually his name). Hunt Avatar, and the moral core and common sense of the four. He keeps their targets on shitty amoral people, but he knows that’s according to his views. Drummer, and his main Hunt power is being a lie-detector, and a killer with throwing knives. ACAP (All Cops Are Prey)

Jack Slaughter, Slaughter Avatar, a bigender person kicked out by her strict parents, youngest in the group (?), main guitarist, basically got adopted by Khaos and Hunter, and is the most brutal of the group. His main power is blood knives. If he cant get any from someone else, he usually resorts to punching herself in the face.

Twist Joker, Spiral...avatar? Honestly none of the others really know much about her(?). Just kinda showed up when they were practicing for a gig, and can play the bass like a pro so no harm done! Scenecore personified, and whenever they talk or move, they leave a trail of rainbow after images, stays pretty close unless they move faster. The most chaotic, most energetic, but also peppiest. Her main power is to give sensory overload. Anyone targeted by her will begin to feel every color, every sound, every sensation more and more intensely until they snap.

Baby its Cold Outside (PART 14)

Bakugo x Reader

Welcome to the world!

Words: 2130

PART 1 HERE, PART 2 HERE, PART 3 HERE PART 4 HERE PART 5 HERE , PART 6 HERE PART 7 HERE PART 8 HERE PART 9 HERE PART 10 HERE PART 11 HERE PART 12 HERE PART 13 HERE PART 14 HERE

*****************************************************************************************************

What a fucking mess... You were in the middle of having lunch with Dylan when your water broke. Having given birth herself she understood the weird mix of emotions you were currently going through. On one hand you were anxious and wanted to get the hospital right away, but on the other hand you really wanted to finish you meal. You knew there wouldn't be much food once you got there and you didn't want to take that chance. You settled for taking it to go and stuffing your face on the way.

You called Bakugo and got sent straight to voicemail... “The fuck? His phone better not be dead.. Not today of all days.” You huffed as you slid into the passenger seat of Dylans car. You tried him again and again you only got his voicemail.

So you called the agency to see if he was out on duty and they confirmed that he was and that he was with red riot. “He and Kiri better not be up to something...” You thanked them and called Kiri just to get his voicemail too. “What the actual fuck. Usually I have to deal with them being up my ass 24/7 checking in every five fucking minutes to make sure I’m okay. But the SECOND I go into labor they’re MIA. WHAT THE FUCK OW OW OW!” You got hit with a contraction which led you squeezing the armrest until your knuckles turned white.

You tried breathing the way Dylan was instructing you too. It wasnt really helping but at least trying to focus on that took your mind off other things. You called both of them several more times and sent them several text messages. Finally you had enough... So you called Yuuto.

“Hello Mrs. Bakugo.”

“YUUTO! I need your help. I’m on my way to the hospital, the baby is coming and I can’t get ahold of Mr. Bakugo!”

“So you need me to find him?”

“YES! ahhhh” Another contraction ripped through you. “Please Yuuto!”

“No please necessary. I will find him. I would like to think I know enough about him and his routine. This will be a fun exercise. Thank you Mrs. Bakugo.”

“No I should be the one thank-”

He had already hung up. He had his task and he wasnt going to waist time talking to you about it. You could hear him now, ‘Why talk when you can do? Why ask questions when you already know the answer?’ Teaching him had to be one the most frustratingly yet delightful things you had ever done. And you were so happy to have him in your corner right about now.

Dylan gave your hand a quick squeeze, “Dont worry we’ll be there soon and we’ll get Bakugo there. There’s no way he’d miss this. I know Yuuto, I've seen his quirk. He is more than capable of tracking Bakugo down.”

You were waddling towards the front desk of the hospital now clutching onto Dylan. Still no word from anyone. You tried to remain calm as they put you in a wheelchair and took you back to a room. Tried to focus on your breathing as your next contraction hit. You tried.. but it wasnt working. You were scared. You needed Katsuki. What if something goes wrong? What if something happens to you or the baby? Fuck you still hadn't settled on a name! You both had been fighting over it for weeks now. You liked the name Kaito but he liked Itsuki. You were supposed to have it figured out before the baby came, yet here you are ready to have a baby and Katsuki wasn’t here. You were openly sobbing now as the door burst open. And in stumbled...Kirishima?

“Look it’s not that I’m not happy to see you... but WHERE THE FUCK IS MY HUSBAND?!”

“I dont fucking know!” He rubbed the back of his neck. “We got separated! Both of our phones are in our lockers back at the agency because we were trying to track a technopath! We weren't aloud to have any kind of technology on us that they could use against us. I was actually looking for him when I ran into that kid..uh... Yuuto! He asked me a couple weirdly specific questions and then ran off telling me to come here.”

Your phone was ringing. “It’s Yuuto! It’s a FaceTime!” You clicked answer and were immediately met with a confused Yuuto. That’s not good. He’s never confused.... ever. “Yuuto! What is it? What’s wrong?”

He shrugged, “I found him but he’s naked and he’s asleep.”

Leave it to Yuuto to say something like that with a completely serious face. “Apparently there was just enough tech in his hero suit that they were able to strip it off of him. And looking at the cut on his forehead I’d say he they hit him over the head with something and knocked him out. Doesn't look too serious though. He’ll be fine.”

You bit your lip as you tried to hold back a cry of pain, “Yuuto. Have you tried waking him up?”

His nose scrunched up, “I don't want to touch him. He’s naked.”

“Yuuto please! He really needs to get here. I’m going to be having this baby any minute.”

He sighed, “Fine.” He walked over and picked up what looked like a hose. If you weren’t in your current position you would laugh. You were almost disappointed that he had to put the phone down because you would have loved to see him wake Bakugo up with a hose.

You heard the hose turn on followed by a “WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!”

You could hear some kind of mumbled response from Yuuto before the phone was being picked up again. “I dont care if I’m naked. She’s literally having my baby I’m sure she's okay if she sees me without clothes on.” Now the screen was being filled with a soaked and panicked looking Bakugo. “Hey babe, you there. Are you okay? Oh wow you’re like already in the hospital. Fuck.” He turned to look behind him and had a quick conversation with Yuuto. “Dont worry babe. I’m going to be there. As soon As I can find some pants I’m going to blast right over. Yuuto says were not too far. I can be there in thirty minutes.”

You started crying, “I cant wait that long! Please Katsuki! I need you. I’m so scared. Please!”

You knew it was irrational to be asking him to get here any sooner than was physically possible. Its not like he had your teleporting quirk. He couldn’t just pop in....unless....

“Baby just breath okay. I’m coming. I promise. I love you, and you’re doing great! I’ll stay on the phone with you until I get there....”

“Katsuki where are you?”

“I’m on my way I promise I just need to find some -”

“No like where are you right now? What street?” You screamed out as another contraction hit.

“Shit Y/n are you okay?” “WHAT FUCKING STREET ARE YOU ON?”

“Shit I dont know! I dont see any street signs!” “Show me”

“What? What do you mean show you?”

“SHOW ME WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE!”

He moved the camera around and you knew exactly where he was.

“Hold your breath..”

“.....what...”

An intense contraction hit you as you focused all of your energy, all your pain, all of your fear into one thing. Getting Katsuki here.

“Oh shit, she’s fucking doing it...” You could hear Dylan freaking out in the corner of the room next to Kirishima. “Y/n NO! that’s too much!”

You heard a crashing noise outside of your room followed by a loud squeal. Next thing you knew the door was being flung open and there stood a naked as the day he was born Bakugo.

“Fuck Y/n I dont know what the fuck you did but it was amazing and terrifying and holy shit I cant believe I’m married to you.” He was next to you in an instant pulling on a pair of scrub bottoms that a blushing nurse had handed him. “He wiped the tears that were now streaming down your cheeks. “You got this. You are the most badass woman I know.”

You didn't feel badass if anything you felt weak. “I needed you. I cant do this alone.”

He kissed your forehead, “You dont have to okay? I’m here, I’ll always be here.”

One of the many monitors you were hooked up to started making an alarming noise. It was getting hard to breathe. A bunch of people piled into your room, looking at charts and monitors. They were talking but you couldn't hear them over your own panic. One of them was talking to Bakugo who looked like he was ready to fight someone.

He came back to your side and tried to fix his face to be calming but his shaky voice gave him away, “They need to do it now y/n. They said they think the baby is in distress. But they don’t know if he actually is or if it’s just his quirk messing with the machines. They need you to get ready to push okay? Can you do that?”

You grabbed his hand, “I guess I don’t really have a choice.”

The next half hour was the most painful and exhausting thing you had ever done. You were soaked with tears and sweat and Katsuki bless him held your hand the whole time. “Just one more push babe. You can do this. Just one more.”

You couldn't do it though. You were so tired. You could barley keep your head up. But you had too. You knew you had to otherwise your baby was at risk. Even if it killed you, you were going to keep pushing.

You gave one final push until you heard the wailing of your newborn son.

Katsuki left momentarily before coming right back and kissing your forehead, “He’s beautiful y/n. You did so good baby. They’re cleaning him up right now but-”

He was cut off by the doctor who had just delivered your son, “I dont know how this is possible... But it seems there is another baby.”

You picked up your heavy and exhausted head, “I’m sorry... what do you mean there’s another baby?”

The doctor sighed, “It looks like you’re having twins... and I apologize but it looks like it’s time to push.”

You squeezed Katsuki’s hand, “I cant. I cant do it again.”

He put his forehead to yours, “Yes you can y/n. I know you can. You're a fighter. If I could do this for you I would, but I cant. You can do this! You have to push. You have to push and then it’ll all be over.”

You nodded as you clenched your teeth closed your eyes and pushed. And pushed. And pushed some more. You were beginning to feel like it was never going to end. You didn't even know how you were still going at this point. And then you heard it. The sound of a baby crying.

The doctor held the baby up for you to see, “Congratulations. It’s a girl.”

“Fuck.” You somehow found it in you to laugh at a very concerned looking Bakugo.

Dylan explained that after looking into your daughters eyes that she was in fact the reason the machines were malfunctioning. She had some kind of stealth quirk that was already developing. Great. Just what we need... a stealthy infant.

Soon enough both of your new babies were swaddled and in your arms. Katsuki snuggled up next to you in your hospital bed, “They’re so beautiful y/n... you did so good.”

You leaned you head onto his shoulder, “Hey they are half you too. I can’t take all of the credit.”

Your son had thick hair the same color as yours and red eyes like his dad. His little nose scrunching up the same way Katsuki's does when he’s irritated. You already knew he was going to be handsome. Although you may be biased.

Your daughter was hair so blonde it was almost white. with eyes that looked like they were copy and pasted from your own face. She was gripping Katsuki’s thumb, already a daddy’s girl.

He smiled, “What are we going to name them?”

“I was thinking about Niko you know for our daughter.”

He brushed a gentle thumb over your daughters cheek, “Niko? I like it. It’s very pretty. And for the boy?”

You sighed, “Well I know you really liked the name Itsuki and I have to admit, it’s really grown on me.”

You couldn’t see his face but you knew he was happy.

“So Niko and Itsuki... Welcome to the world.”

my dad says him and my mom are going to be divorced in the next three months. he says she’s not coming on vacation with us in april. my mom won’t talk to me, leaves randomly without telling anyone and won’t say where she’s going, fake-smiles at me whenever i try to even make basic conversation, and is just acting weird. my parents will not be together for 2020. they’ve been together my entire life (although not happily), and even though it’s been a long time coming with all their fights and obviously broken marriage, it’s bothering me. im worried that, once they are divorced and im (hopefully, if everything goes smoothly) living with my dad, my mom won’t talk to me. im scared she’ll be so angry with him that she’ll take it out on me (like she’s currently doing). my mom has messed me up a lot, and, no, she’s not the greatest. but she’s still my mom and im worried im losing her.

my sister is sympathetic but doesn’t care nearly as much as i do. my mom isn’t her mom (we’re half sisters) and they already didn’t have a great relationship, so it doesn’t bother her that she’s not talking to her. she’s known for years that they were eventually going to get a divorce (i always have known too but... i had hope) so it’s not really affecting her, and she has her own stuff to deal with. so she’s trying to help me and offering to listen if i want to talk, and i trust her to talk to her, but... it’s different for her.

it’s tense at home and everyone is acting weird. thing’s are about to majorly change and i don’t handle change well. im scared. im stressed. im tense. im tired of being at home but i dont want to bother my friends by always asking to hang out/go somewhere. i feel bad constantly complaining to my friends about it, since they’ve heard about their broken relationship for years now. im tired.

my mom left two different times today without saying anything. the first time, i didn’t even know she left until my dad came home from work and asked where she was. when she got home, i asked her where she went (target) and why she didn’t say bye. she said, in a very sarcastic, faux-innocent, passive-aggressive voice “oh, i guess i just forgot.” it hurt.

i know she’s trying to get back at me for going to dinner with my sister and my dad without her, but she’s my mom. she should be more mature than that, right? it wasn’t my choice to not invite her to dinner, it was my dad’s. she would’ve said no anyways, and no one wants to be around her. she’s passive-aggressive and quiet and awkward and makes rude, under-the-table comments. she’s petty. no one wants to be around that, but i know it really hurts her feelings when we do something without her and it makes me feel guilty.

she had one of her friends over today and talked to her in the garage and was crying/ranting (my dad listened over the camera mic in the garage... which is kind of wrong of him but he just wanted to know i guess). i know she’s hurting but she won’t talk to me and is trying to be sarcastically happy and it makes me mad.

it makes me mad because i don’t have a mom right now. i have the right to be able to rely on my mom, right? like, yeah. she has her own issues but she’s an adult and im her kid and she won’t even talk to me when im going through something lifechanging and (traumatic?).

i meet with my therapist in two days and i don’t think ive ever looked forward to an appointment more. i need her help and her comfort, honestly. she’s going to be very shocked though, because last time i saw her (about a month ago) my parents were fighting but still ehh stable? and now im going to walk up like “oh yeah they’re getting a divorce, my mom’s not talking to me, and im struggling.”

im stressed. i know it will be okay, and im trying to keep a positively-neutral view on things so i don’t get overwhelmed, but i know there’s going to be a day where me suppressing all my feelings is going to catch up with me. but today is not that day. wish me luck. this was basically just a rant post, but i didn’t feel like writing, so i typed this instead.

bye.

Three characters for the fmk ask game: jaskier, calanthe, yennefer? -🌧️

Well THIS was a difficult series of choices to make!

Lab partner: Definitely Yennefer. She seems like she'd know what she was doing and I'd get to watch her work through it which I think would be really neat. She seems a tad aloof but honestly I think she would join me in being really bored in class (I was never great at paying attention)

Elevator: Jaskier. The singing might get annoying I admit but I think hearing his stories would be fun. I can honestly see him panicking a little at the start but I think he would calm down pretty easily. I think he's probably like me in that he sometimes talks to people out of a sense of anxiety or nervousness (I do it as a weird sort of fear response bc hey if they like me they wont hurt me right?). Having both of us in the elevator would make for a good deal of conversation. Plus, most elevators in my experience dont have cameras in them sooooo

McDonalds trainer: Calanthe Okay so I have to admit that, much as I go weak at the knees for a woman in armor, I'm not sure I'd actually want to deal with Calanthe much. That being said I would absolutely want her to be the one training me at McDonald's (now there's a weird fucking sentence) because I feel like she would absolutely be the type of manager who wasn't afraid to step in wherever necessary and still be capable. Like she'd definitely be knowledgeable about every position and not just in the "the manual says this" way. She also seems like the person to go to bat for you when customers are being shitty.

han’s Entire Thoughts and Feelings on GFriend’s “Fever”

literally no one asked but WHEN DO I EVER HAVE NOTHING TO SAY-

like red velvet im not a HUGE buddy but im invested enough so as i said no one requested but im still here!!! plus i heard the teaser and i was excited lmao this all my personal thoughts and want them out

no read mores i know thats annoying but like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ look at my other posts theyre all long its my brand

ALRIGHT SO-

THE SONG aiight so i had to watch their other music videos to see some consistency and from what i could point out is it starts relatively slow in the beginning and then HITS YOU with a build up a beat drop and dancing which I LIKED it gets the curiosity going yknow!!!!!!! i REALLY liked the pre-chorus part LIKE YUJUS PART?????? AND IT BUILDS UP?????? bich...........

the chorus got me swaying from side to side and thank the lord the music doesnt hit you in the face and dig deep into your eardrums and it just feels positive???? like the energy???? it was soothing to me and it has that summer and tropical feeling BUT its more of the relaxing side of summer

so this middle part was interesting to me for some reason let me explain if it were ANY OTHER GROUP you know they wouldve forced a whole ass rap right there dont liE TO ME- so i type this out bc it was a lowkey break from sinb herself and looking like a snacc™ (but ill get to that later) and i didnt mind it! (it was literally five seconds but i liked it let me live)

LETS TALK ABOUT THIS BRIDGE FOR A SECOND im noticing that im magnetically DRAWN to the bridge part and i like that part the most out the whole song like they really did That™ also eunhas HIGH NOTE L I S T E N people usually expect yuju to hit a high note in their songs but eunha really killed that and i appreciate it!!!!!! ive always liked all of their voices they just have tones that sound sweet yknow what i mean??? like if a bakery came to life and became six people-

THE DANCE we love a good center sinb so when the dance started right at the beginning and she was there that broke my neck then they had to give me center sinb AGAIN and that broke my spine AND THEN they gave me center yerin and that broke my knees- what im saying is this killed me-

its pretty obvious that this songs choreo doesnt go AWF™ as much as their other songs do which i think was done like that bc its a relaxing summery song so the dancing shouldnt go hard and be super complicated like let me tell you the dance they do during THE CHORUS BICTH the entire thing got me trying to kick my leg and spin around with my arm up just like they were the split second they dropped it low i almost dropped dead and i liked that part at the end with umji when they were in a line while she was singing??? it was satisfying to watch

THE VISUALS i know i keep saying its summery and all but theyre in the desert??? theyre legitimately in the desert both wandering in it and under a car parking lot thing with two (2) cars (not sponsored what you mean) and a gas station I MEAN there was outside that building and inside the building and that place where theyre sitting on that wall which like this is very Aesthetically Pleasing™ to my eyes

anyway some sets and stuff i DID LIKE:

that scene with sinb umji and yerin on that couch surrounded by all those plants and looking stunning in the light and through those plants yes-

sowon and yerin lying on the floor in front of a sunset backdrop in the middle of the room and you can see through the windows outside i found that pretty interesting to look that

that one set theyre dancing on in the middle of the street or whatever in front of that building the colors were hella nice to me

when all of them were sitting on that wall with those trees behind them and those bright lights

and yknow what i actually liked the camerawork i dunno why it made the mv nice to watch

then that ending part where they were all standing with all those plants that was like SUPER COOL to look at (dont ask why i dunno how to explain it pls)

T H E M

id like to make it clear that they werE ALL SERVING FACE (giving the Smize™ if you will) and looking SO BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING I DUNNO IF WORDS COULD EVEN PERFECTLY CAPTURE HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ARE imma try tho

i would like to start with mentioning that i loved the makeup and hair here like i have no complaints or anything like that for any of them they all look freaking amazing and i cant believe theyre existing like this-

so we dont see sowon all that much which is a shame because that red dress and that black outfit and That White Crop Top™ outfit with the kinda baggy pants and THAT BLUE DRESS was popping like she was looking really Good™

so yerin was pretty much the Face™ of this video which is all fine and dandy yknow shes real pretty like i knew the moment i saw those teaser pictures of her i was gonna get wrecked by her (like thats it she nearly made me swerve) lets talk about that outfit with the baggy jeans bc OOF-

eunha had long hair in one of her teasers which i was nervous about (still big mad about seulgi in zimzalabim) HOWEVER it didnt happen like that THANK GOD i thought it was weird that she was wearing beige when everyone was wearing black??? and that black outfit with the gloves........ it was a choice that was made NONETHELESS SHES B E A U T I F U L

yuju.................................... LISTEN- this is my bias okay she really waltzed through this video like the Snacc™ (more like five star dinner but okay) she is and feeding me well with her visuals like every time she stared into the camera my brain did dial up like that first outfit she wore when she started singing i knew i wasnt gonna survive and the purple dress AND that one blue fit she was wearing when she was literally just STANDING like i cant take it seriously im at my limit i-

SO ANOTHER MEMBER THAT JUST ALWAYS WRECKS ME IS SINB AND SHE IS RUDE™ like this hair color those braids when she was wearing THAT™ black outfit that oversized white button up whatever that was anD THAT GREEN ONE!!!!!!!

lets get one thing straight umji is always hella stunning okay like A L W A Y S like the white pants with the black crop top and like that black fit GIVE👏ME👏MORE👏PONYTAIL👏UMJI👏and that blue one and that PINK ONE WAS EVERYTHING AND THAT ONE WITH THE PURPLE FLOWERS AND THE LEAVES BICTH-

its a FUN SONG like ive been listening to it on a loop so i could make this review and im STILL not sick of it or anything ive been in a bouncy mood bc of it!!!! its clearly a different style when you compare it to their past title tracks but i personally welcome it!!! tho ill keep it real with you chief i could see some elements in the songs that might cause someone to get a little bored after a bit or maybe already bored but i am NOT that someone

i finish this with a scene i cant get over:

IN CONCLUSION: ISSA BOP™ AND IM GONNA KEEP WATCHING THIS VIDEO BC IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD AND HAPPY NOT BC OF YUJU LOOKING LIKE A WHOLE MEAL I SWEAR

#am i too positive????#i dont really care lmao im just saying what i feel #i think this is the longest one yet?????#im in a good mood and i have a small summer break right now so i have time to do stuff #oof im scared what the dreamcatcher one will look like im gonna go feral i-#gfriend #not dc #han.txt #han's mv afterthoughts

My opinions about the "real" season 8

I put "real" this way because we still don't have a proper clarification about what truly happened to season finale.

This post is more a thing to vent, so sorry if it get too personal. And well, I made a post sometime ago about the comparison between VLD and ATLA characters that VLD writers themselves did. And this get a popularity and a discussion I didnt expert (or want), so I thought it would be better write another post than continue a disagreement there (or worse, it turn into a fight).

So better I say it now, if you dont agree with what I am gonna say, please, ignore this post, they are just my opinions. I won't try to invalide anyone project here, FreeSeason8, LH, Felix and Purple Lion are doing amazing, but there is another side of the fandom and divergents views exist.

Then, first. Don't associate me with misinformation. That is shameful to a librarian (yeah, I am librarian). The only reason I avoid links and mentions in my posts are because most of my sources are in Portuguese or Spanish. I dont like to call attention of other people to my things, so avoid @ too.

But back to main issue. I do believe season 8 was edited, like any other season! Everything is edited and reviewed. Since I started to watch Voltron I always thought it was kinda of weird and rushed the transition of events, they mentioned things that wasn't showed, and I felt as I was seeing pieces of a puzzle. But I thought it might be just me, I was bothered for details (so times the drawings were different, the choice of the "camera" position was weird, the characters were inconsistent, fragmented script).

But there are blogs, other fans complaining about the consistency of the narrative, since season 3. So I dont get what people find so unique absurd in season 8 that haven't happened before in previous seasons. The animation and edition become worse with time? Yes, very. There is a reason behind this? Of course.

And everybody know I am lotura shipper and Lotor stan, but I have to distance myself and see what seems to be (to me) a reasonable thing:

LM and JDS didn't mean make them the center of the final arc.

It is sad, it is revolting, but it is probably true. The final arc happen in Earth say too much in where they want the attention. Voltron, to my rant, is more about the human team than about those space elves, unfortunately, it is. So I dont buy they really had big plans to Lotor, and Allura is always use as a deus ex machine material. So in narrative terms, depending on exclusively in LM and JDS, the story they "wanted" tell didnt have a special place to them.

And say that is all Koplar's fault. Okay, must be. But WHY, why this old man is so determined in keep Lotor in villain chair forever? Why if he is supposed a key character to "save" season 8 from disaster. Why he would do such dumb decision that prevent him get for more money? He should have a really issue with someone of the creative team to mess up this person work like that. It can be true? Of course! But while we dont CONCRETE evidence, that is just hypothesis, theory, not a fact yet!

Weak teamwork, miscommunication and too much arrogant people as high up, those things are revenue to ruin any project. And while I dont see season 8 no cuts edition out there, I will keep believe those cited elements made Volton downhill and the true season 8 is where it always was:

In Fanon, where creative and talent people get together to create decent conclusion to this show.

Here are some useless facts about me for you guys. just a laundry list of bullshit

I have a younger sister. We took pictures last Saturday of all places we went to as kids or memories we had, were making a calendar for our parents. theres a lot of parks on the list, and its gonna be hard to distinguish them, but im looking forward to our burgerking set where we reminds me family of the time my sister kicked out my front teeth on a burger king slide minutes after seeing the dentist

I never had a sleepover with nonfamily. Having sleep overs was infrequent enough that even with family, I was overjoyed. It’s not really a sleep over when youre an adult, but if it is, i just as rarely do it

I floss regularly if I have access to it. I forget to buy it all the time. It's the only thing my dentist is proud of because it shows compared to my gums which are total garbage

Most of my English is self taught through television. My parents grew up close ish in Puerto Rico, met each other here, got married and spit me out a year and a half later. I remember being pretty good at spanish at one point in my life and i know its not the case anymore.

Home alone 2 is my Christmas movie of choice. My family marathons each of our Christmas movies that morning while opening presents. Mine is usually first and occurs during the whole time we’re opening stuff. If you got a candid camera on our gift opening im probably watching home alone most of the time.

I didn't pick up or hold a cat until I was well into my teens. My mom was allergic and I assumed I was too. I might be, I'm not sure, but I doubt it. I didn't have friends with cats till high school.

My first long term girlfriend cheated on me. It's something I don't like to think about because I effectually let it slide because I was so eager to have a girlfriend which is the dumbest thing ever. I was 21

When I was growing up my family always said I was negative and quiet and sarcastic. I desperately try not to be and most friends from work would say I'm not. I'm still bitter that the perception is the same as when i was younger

I dont remember why orange is my favorite color. I know it was green when I was younger because of the ninja turtles and I know Michelangelo is orange, but I'm 100% positive the reason I like orange has nothing to do with that.

I started watch anime to impress girls. It actually worked at the time but I was honestly more interested in anime.

Pills scare me. I had to take some when I was younger and couldn't really bring myself to do it. My dad yelled about it a lot and then my parents opted to cut the pill open and have me drink the water. My dad basically forced me to drink the water while he screamed at me. Its one of the few times I ever remember him being mean. I take a pill a day thats about the size of an m&m mini and refuse to take anything else

I destroyed my first email account by using survey websites to get money for maple story. We're talking 100s of emails an hour. Spam filters weren't what they are now so I just had to remake an email account thats how I arrived at needing my first consistent username. Super hint it's not treago, that was after I became ashamed of anime and needed to change the embarrassment

When I was in 3rd grade we had to taste test jelly for some sort of project. I did not want to taste jelly and was forced to try it. I didnt like it at all and puked. I have a pretty strong aversion to trying things I dont think I'll like because of it

i love telling people the story of how my car was broken into. i always tell it badly because im really excited to talk about it because its a fun story with a weird resolution. I love that its a story that couldnt really functionally happen to me at any other time of my life, and couldnt happen anymore really. Its also a story that requires set up and thats just the worst part about telling stories

the car story leads me into the fact that i never really listened to music intentionally. There was a small period when i was in middle school where i thought music was really important to being liked, so i listened to music. I remember asking my parents for a cd player for christmas that year, and i got nsync no strings attached as the cd. i dont think my parents understood they were a boy band who made music primarly for girls, they just were like “son gets cd with boys on it, and daughter gets cd with girls on it”. Real talk i never once listened to it, but i still adore the song bye bye bye now that im like 30 and have literally no shame in my music tastes

theres a lot of things i want to do that i need the right ambassador for. I’m just a hesitant person, and with gentle coaxing i do a lot of stuff i otherwise normally wouldnt do, but most people just want to force me to do things and that never goes well. Like getting a tattoo, trying weed, anal, are all really extreme examples but even super tame dumb stuff like touching bugs or going to a different country for a vacation

when i lost my job at the candy store, i basically decided i was going to be as nice as possible. i dont remember the reasoning behind it, but i do remember lots of push back against it. i distinctly remember saying “its never a bad day” and having one of my coworkers literally tell me, that “that attitude is going to change”, and i just had to be nice for my entire time there outta spite except i really enjoyed the personality i went with it permanently. I cant really remember how i acted like 5 years ago.

ok so final season thoughts so far...

the positives:

opening credits sequence and music!

360-degree camera!

new combat style is great

new graphics look is sooo much better

collectables!

ending choice slides & character status!

"your relationship has changed"!

episode runtime is finally decent

i like the idea of the main cast this season all being clem's age, so it's equals interacting with each other for once instead of it constantly being clem versus the adult world

that basement sequence! (the lead-up, the darkness, the blood-red flashlight, the lightning, the sounds, gahhhhh!)

also loved the train station car getaway

the negatives:

again with the horrible generic main menu design & no chapter select option

again choosing to hang out with x character means you miss out on character development for the other. no rewind means it's even harder to go back and see it for yourself

no cumulative effect for relationships- i'm not positive bc i haven't tested it thoroughly myself but from what i can tell it seems that the outcome of relationship states are tied to single lines of dialogue rather than your decisions throughout. which is... not great especially ie for aj, "dont hesitate" = pragmatic rather than "save a bullet for yourself" which = ruthless. not only does it feel backwards (is that a bug?) but even if you're completely consistent you still can end up with an aj opposite to everything you've done, just bc of a single line of dialogue. doesn't feel right. especially with all the "aj is watching" emphasis. hope it's a bug tbh bc that just makes things sooo predictable.

i'm not a huge fan of the story builder that shows at the beginning of the episode. i mean the art is gorgeous but it seems so transparent how certain decisions are designated either important or completely inconsequential. and it prompted me to fill in the blank with some decisions while with others it automatically detected my past choices. ??? And with barely any mention of ANF at all it's just :/ are u really that obviously just throwing it out the window, telltale?? why even bother ghhhggggg i love javi but i STILL don't understand why they went with his storyline for instead of sticking with clem for a season 3. especially with so many different "#myclem" ending slides for a new frontier, like, you just know that it's all pointless :(((((( plus the disconnect with ANF's ruthless bloodthirsty clem no matter your past decisions, she feels like a completely different character from seasons 1 and 2, it just feels weird especially when you can have her go all "softy" again in the final season. lol like this clem is too reasonable, ANF clem is just a different person

anyway i really want to find out what happened at the ranch, and also Richmond?? why would clem not go back if she was good friends with javi? or maybe she did and something happened???

also there's a known bug with a s2 ending- staying at wellington doesn't register in the game. so my clem didn't have the cheek scar but i swear i got a glimpse of kenny's hat as she was taking things out of her backpack in the piano room. or maybe it was just her own hat lol but i'm sad i got so excited for a minute thinking aj was finally going to get to wear it! hopefully they'll get it fixed but i also don't understand / hate that the story builder doesn't account for these things so it's just like Okayyyy well that obv doesn't matter then ughh

Hi everyone! Last week our models battled to the death with the primals. Our intrepid Warriors of Light risked life and limb for some of the best battle shots we’ve seen in the history of the competition.

The ever present threat against Eorzea, primals are our primary foe. How are you keeping Eorzea (or Doma or Yanxia) safe from these menaces?

However, even though everyone did a great job this week (and gave the judges and the community absolute fits - the rankings were all over the place), only one model emerged from the pile of corpses with the best overall score by a mere third of a point:

Rymmrael Bhaldraelwyn

Congratulations! Not even Ramuh’s beard can stand up to your fierce display of paladin strength. Time for a shave and a haircut, primal!

The next round of ENTM Tumblr Cycle 10 will hopefully be posted sometime before midnight EST on Friday, October 12th - assuming Michael stays far, far away.

Please check below for feedback from our judges.

A note from Kat: Models, please know that if you have any questions or want clarification from a judge on a critique, you are welcome to DM them from the Discord channel. Often when the round is this excellent the decisions come down to tiny nit picks, so a suggestion for how a shot could have been improved is not always the same thing as a low vote in the ranks. You could be a judge’s favorite that week and they’ll still have something to say that could have made it even more amazing.

Judge Kusuh

Hey all! Just as a note: these critiques are being written on the road due to a major life move! These may be a bit shorter, but as always, feel free to reach out me with any clarifications!

Ni’ko: Colored marker is an *amazing* color choice for this picture! Everything about this picture adds to it in an amazing way: the dark sun in the back center drawing the shot together, the line connecting you and Ifrit, the ice shards adding sharp edges to the frame of the shot; everything adds something! Here’s my caution though: this picture walks that very thin line between enough and *too much*. While everything in a shot can have a purpose, there is such a thing as overloading a frame, even if you believe it’s all necessary! I want you to keep an eye on that in the coming weeks, making sure to really keep an editorial eye on what you do.

Cowbot: The deadly slice of Odin gives me some maaajor flashbacks to the DPS checks of that fight when it came out, so I’m glad you were able to catch it in a much more showy and epic light! I believe the cinema frame here was a good choice, it’s like the climax of a movie! Now, here’s something I’ve noticed in a few of your shots, including this one: you are a lalafell, and therefore you are shorter then most of your fellow models. This is going to produce unique challenges, mostly in terms of visibility. In this shot, while the look and effect is great, I’m having a hard time seeing you! For the future, I want you to try zooming in a lot more! See what you can get from a different perspective.

Ysildor: I very much appreciate the choice of color and use of the tools available to you in gpose, you’ve clearly put a lot of thought into what you need to do to make the shots as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Here’s what I’m noticing this week: the shot feels a little crowded to me. This mostly comes from the fact that while you are clearly engaged in combat with Odin, the fact that you two overlap on different planes makes me wonder exactly where you are looking and aiming your attacks. Whereas I commonly ask others to zoom in, I’d like to see what you can do with a wider shot in the weeks to come! Let’s see how you do with much more room to work with.

Judge Vederah

Azalea: Stylistically there's some pretty neat things happening here. I love how you put some thought into the glamour you wore for this particular shoot- helps your character fit in with the shot and helps with the narrative. I also like how both you and the primal are super imposed over one another. His might may be looming over you, but the ferocity in the characters expression shows where the true power lies. However, the picture is so over saturated with blue and green hues that you lose a large portion of the primal's shape and a lot of the details on the floor for that mechanic. Perhaps a different filter, or less direct lighting would've helped. Lily: I love how crisp and clear this image is- like almost to the point where it looks like a screenshot from a cut scene. How your character is positioned in relation to the primal makes it feel like they're actively engaged in battle. I also really like the contrast between your character's blue hued armor against the warmer toned backdrop and Ifrit. It's a really well composed shot- and the only thing I could point out as maybe something to change would be to scoot the shot a touch more to the left so it's more centered.

Rymm: I love the pink and deep blue tones of this shot- and how you matched your glamour to it. It's always important that your character fits into the settings. I also really like the angle of the shot and how it directs the eye over to Ramuh who is just being completely surrounded by that amazing lightning graphic. I think the only con to this image is that it's a little dark around the edges. So much so that it almost makes the image as a whole too muted. If the lighting was a touch brighter, those amazing colors would've popped even more- making this image mindblowingly good.

Judge M’Telihgo

Wren: I want to start by saying how much I absolutely adored your picture from last week. You were front and center and in the irrefutable focus of your picture. That picture was you and everyone knew it. Why? Partly you are in the center part of your picture, we always start there when looking at an image. You are the only thing that is blue. We can see your beautiful face, you should show it to us much more often, you are very pretty! I’m sorry Wren, I cannot say the same things for this week. It helps that you are the only thing in white, it really does so +1 for you. I’m kinda sad that I cannot see your face this week. I also have pink hair and thanks to a request by my bf, I am using the same hairstyle right now. I would love to see how your face looks with it too. A slightly different camera angle to focus on you a little more and show your face could be just what you need! Shiva commands much more of the area of this picture than you do. Neither one of you are facing the camera and that would help your image too. I can tell you are trying, and you do get credit from me. This next round is for a close up, please, let me see how awesome you look in that!!

Ona: Your picture also suffers from your face being obscured. Taken from the opposite side, much more of your face would be visible since the hairstyle is asymmetrical. I like the effect, it does look like you are fighting Garuda, you lined it up well. Unfortunately, it leaves you in a weird pose that I feel detracts from your image. I do think a different outfit may have helped you some too. You skin tone doesn’t pop against the blue background, it makes you blend a little bit and since your armor is light and has a low coverage it takes some focus away from you. I like the lighting on Garuda, it makes her look like she has some depth to her and that is also something that you lack because of the pose the action left you in. Again, it’s a nice pose and it works well for the action part, just not so much for the you part. Keep at it, I know you will get there.

Judge Rongi

Adam: This week you really used contrasting colors to your advantage. I love the colors in this shot! This pencil filter was a genius choice because not only does it make the background look fantastic, it also made you look like youre straight out of a comic book. You look amazing in this shot, but one of the hard things about taking screenshots with mobs is getting them to also look good. Garuda has a lot of appendages, and as such, if she isnt in the right position, she can become a confusing mess. If Garuda had looked like she does in Ona's shot in your shot, I think this picture would have been much stronger.

James: Normally I do not like these portrait style shots, but both you and Haila really pulled out some great shots with it. While you both pulled it off very well here, I think where you faltered in comparison is by not doing a back shot. In the shot you submitted it looks like you are summoning the Pheonix yourself, a lot like Azalea did as well, but I think it would have been stronger if you had been facing the Phoenix. Many models this week are facing away from the primals, but the way they are positioned makes them still seem engaged with them in battle. The Pheonix's wings are also cut off at the tips, which I dont think a horizontal shot would have fixed because then we couldn't have seen you either. I didnt rank you low, but I wanted to explain why I didn't rank you super high.

Nadede: Wow! This shot is amazing. I love the color contrast, the pose of both of you, the way you fit like a puzzle piece into the silhouette of Leviathan, everything. I feel like you went for something less flashy, and it totally paid off. I wish we could see more of a weapon, where your hand is being cut off at a strange place, but not focusing on that, only looking between you and Leviathan, i think this shot is great. Wonderful job.

Chee: Good job with the setup of this image. I love that you’re dominant, and I can see you clearly! Also, you were very smart to wear lighter clothes, seeing that the ground and sky are much darker. It makes you pop without needing to force it. The lighting is also lovely, and I love how dramatic it looks on your face. Concept wise, I see what you were going for but it seems more like you’re getting ready to flee than actually face this menace. Also, the outfit you chose to wear, while great color-wise, is a bit off where it pops out with the knee. Unfortunately, SE didn’t map these outfits to fall naturally when turning and having such a pose, so it ends up just popping straight out and leaves my eye wondering what exactly your body is doing. Overall, love the lighting and I see what you were going for but I don’t think it quite got there. As for the outfit, kudos on picking a color that makes you stand out, but from the waist down it’s just not working for me.

Haila: First off I will say this… that is a beautiful shot, and I love that you made it a long shot and not a wide. It really gives you the height to show how massive this creature really is! That said, concept-wise I’m not sure if it comes off as facing a foe. It seems more like you’re summoning it, and you’re the for about to lay waste to a bunch of innocent people (which hey, I’m not against this because it’s awesome looking). Nice job on the lighting, and on picking an outfit that makes you pop. As for the back to the camera, I’ve always said I'm not fond of it unless it really adds something to the image, and I’m not sure if this really adds to it. Overall it’s an awesome picture, you pop and have nice lighting. Seeing Levi fly out of the water like that is amazing… but I’m just not sure it really follows the concept, as well as some of the others, did.

Lantis: This looks like a battle shot, and I love how you have yourself leaping into the air to meet your foe head-on. Concept wise, I’ll say you hit it pretty much dead on. I’ll also say that it was smart for you to use the glowing weapons and that arc of light under you to attract the eye. If you didn’t have those bright color to pull the eye to you, I don’t think this would have worked as well as it does. The image does come off very dark, and your clothes almost blend into the background without the help of the light around you. If you’d somehow made this image a bit lighter, or have worn something that popped a bit more I think it would have helped your character become more dominant in the image. Overall I think this is a great setup, and the concept is spot on, but the darkness of the image leaves you dependent on bright pops of color to attract the eye instead of your character.

Words: about 1.5k

————————— —————————

“What the hell are you doing?”

Phil turned around, dropping the lid, shocked to find Daniel staring at him, anger and distrust in his eyes. The boy looked like he was five seconds from running and calling the police, his body already set to turn around. His eyes scanned the closet, clearly untrusting of the Older man. Phil was confused on what the boy was doing, until he saw his eyes fall on something, before quickly reaching his hands out, grabbing a baseball bat with a curvy signature aligning down the length. He stepped forward, and posed to swing, but Phil was already up.

He quickly grabbed Daniels arms and twisted to the left, causing him to gasp in pain and drop the bat, he then twisted them over to the right and pinned him to the wall, face first. He heard the sound of the boys face connecting with the wall, and then a soft whimper. Phil waited a second, pressing the boy harder to the wall, making sure he couldn't get away. The kid really needed to learn not to attack people when he looked like a goddamn toothpick, but Phil was kind of impressed, that had to have taken guts.

“Alright, look kid, i dont do this whole attacking thing, dont swing if you aren't prepared to be hit back. if i wanted to kill you, you would be damn well dead right now, got me?” Daniels head quickly began to nod, Phil couldn't see his face, but he thought he heard sniffling. ��Now, i need to know a few thing about your fat--” Phil was cut off by the electricity in the closet cutting out, the room bathed in darkness, besides the light from the windows in the bedroom. The air was cold, and he found himself shivering, as his breath became visible in front of his face.

“Mr. O’brein?” Daniel asked, looking over his shoulder at Phil, but Phil was a bit busy thinking. This was a demon deal, he's positive, but then why would a spirit be after Daniel? Surely the boy couldn't havw killed anyone, the kid looked like the stereotypical 18 year old virgin, but that doesn't mean anything he's learned. Phil sighed, letting go of the boy, trying to think of what could be happening.

“Mr. O’brein!” He heard Daniel scream. He was pointing towards the closet door, where a lady stood, hair messed up and blood staining what looked like a white sunday dress. She had a dark scowl on her face, and she faded and re-appeared every other couple of seconds. she observed Daniel, barely sparing a glance at Phil, before rushing forward with an god awful screech.

Phil rushed forward in front of Daniel, grabbing his iron necklace from his shirt pocket and quickly swinging it through the woman, who shrieked in agony before quickly turning to them, but Phil had already grabbed onto Daniels hand, grabbed onto the box, and began running, heading through the bedroom and down the stairs.

They were almost to the front door, when all of sudden the lady appeared once again, screeching as she grabbbed onto Daniel, whose face was pale white as he screamed, tears streaming down his face. Phil hurriedly ran to the car, slamming the trunk open and grabbing his shotgun full of rocksalt before shooting at her, causing her to yell once again, before she was gone, and Phil was grabbing Daniel, who was looking worse by the second and shoving him in the passenger seat.

“Look, I’ll explain later, were going to the motel in town where i'm staying, i need you to take this-” He said handing the gun to Daniel after checking it was off of safety, “- and if she shows again, aim and shoot her.” He said getting into the car, before pulling out quickly and speeding through the town.

Daniels only response so far was a few blinks and a bunch of sniffing. Phil understood, the first time he had been attacked by a ghost, he didn't sleep for a week.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The motel was dark and empty when they pulled in, and once they were out of the car, Phil was shuffling Daniel inside, before creating salt lines from all of the windows and the door. Once he deemed the room ghost proof, he turned to Daniel, who was quietly sitting, and honestly he appeared to be in shock. ‘Poor kid.’

“Okay, you’ll be safe in here, now look, im gonna be explaining a lot of things, but i need you to try and stick with me here, it's gonna be a bit crazy.” He said. Daniels response was a small “Okay.”

“I’m a hunter to the kind of things you just saw. I've been doing this for years, and i know what i'm doing, but this case has me a bit confused, so i'm gonna need your help with a few details i seem to be missing. Look i'm pretty sure the death of your father was a demon, hell hounds are the ones that would tear him apart, also his heart was intact so not a werewolf. I need any reasons why your father would make a deal, and who the hell that woman was, and why she wants you.” He said. Daniel was looking at him, his eyes wide and lips parted, like he couldn't believe it was real, like he couldn't believe Phil was real.

“Look, whether you believe me or not, you're in danger, and i'm here to help you, so please just tell me if you've seen her.” He sighed, god he haed those reactions.

Daniel didnt speak for another minute, before he slowly stuttered out “I think so..but i think i only saw her from a box in my dad's clo-” He was cut off by Phil pulling out the box that had set off the small machine a while ago. He quickly pulled off the lid and began to search throught he box, finding old law papers in the top, until he got to the middle contents, and saw a newspaper, the headline reading “Local Man being charged with the hit and run of Emily Coswell. Husband demands answers.”

A picture of the priest was below, the cameras clearly not by choice of the man. His hand was held up above his face, an angry expression flowing from his eyes and mouth. He read the date, cursing silently.

“Daniel, when did yall move here and begin your new start here?” Phil asked. Daniel looked over at him before saying “About ten years ago, why?” He asked confused, voice a bit shaky.

Phil cursed under his breath, as he began to dig through it all, until he found a picture of the hit and run victim. “God damn it!” Phil sighed.

“okay, things just got a bit tricky, Your father sold his soul, which means a demon was the one to “Kill” him ,and since the spirit could not intervene with hell, she’s after you.” He said before looking through the rest of the paper, hoping to find a burial site.

“Emily Coswell was decided to be cremated this Sunday.” he read sighing. “This just got a lot harder.” He said looking at Daniel.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

“Okay, as far as they’re concerned, you're with me simply for protection, so just act scared and don't say anything, if you say something wrong, we’re fucked.” Phil said to Daniel as they walked into the police station, hoping to find the necklace Emily Coswell was wearing when she was hit. According to Daniel, his father kept the necklace in his breast pocket, and if Phils right, it might be what kept her here, and with the priest dying, it set her free to go after Daniel.

Daniel walked behind Phil, head down, and if Phil wasn't worried about being killed, he probably would have found it hot at how submissive he actually was, but more important matters were at hand.

They had t pass two offices and the main desk before reaching the entrance to the evidence room, where they quickly went over trying to find Daniels fathers clothes and possessions. Inside the small box was a pair of stained khaki pants, a white button down shirt full of blood and ripped, a wallet, a ring, and a small blue necklace.

“Okay, if i'm correct, this necklace should be what's holding her here, so we need to head to the house and burn it, quick-” The lights in the room were shut off, and the temperature seemed to have dropped around 20 degrees,Phil watched in dread as the lights began to slowly come back on, only to start flickering, making a soft hum in the otherwise quiet room.

“Shit, okay Daniel we don't have time to drive, we need to get to the car, and now!” he said grabbing Daniels hand, but Daniel wasn't moving, eyes trained on the angry woman behind Phil, who leapt at Daniel With determination, a cry leaving her undead lips. She flew through Phil, leaving him shivering, as she grabbed onto Danies neck, pinning him to the wall and starting to choke him.

Daniels eyes were filled with tears, and he was making small hiccuping sounds as he tried to get enough air in. Phil had finally shook off the weird feeling, and ran to the woman, hitting her with an iron knife he had in his boot, and grabbing Daniel, forcing him to start running as they made their way through the station, and into the parking lot. They made it to the car, but Phil was stopped as the man pounced on him, shrieking and yelling as she dug her “claws” into him, causing him to yell out and drop the necklace.

Phil wasn't winning this fight, and his vision was slowly turning to black, when the woman began yelling in pain, fire encasing her, until she slowly disappeared along with the grip on Phil. Phil was panting, confused, eyes gazing up, only to see Daniel with a lighter in his hand, waving sheepishly.
