🐰 🐇 Hi fr Classy Cultiva! Reply: I love recs! & lists that aren’t to-do lists😁 I never heard of Jaymes Young b4 but bought albums which I’ll listen to once CQL is outta my head, maybe in 5 yrs 😂| Once I opened my phone to show a coworker sthg, it opened right to a fic & my heart dropped. Pretty sure I scrolled away fast enuf but who knows O_o but maybe he had no idea what he saw, if anything eep I <3 jrs! Ooh NHS is def top runner up to the ladies. Gotta stay on Machiavelli’s good side 1/2

wzc is v cute, seems v sweet, always smiling! That pic of him holding a dog [on chaos sisters set I think?] is just like 2 puppies | oh man so many things to watch! ~~It’s a neverending queue~~ havent watched guardian but seen it on dashboard a lot | Q11: what’s ur fave story arc? or fave ep/moment? Some of mine are: FAMILY LUNCH DATE SO SOFT, golden core reveal soooo sadddd so pretty lwj tears 😭 drunky lwj also very good. I made a huge list for my other cc, will share in 9 days! \o/ 2/2

hello again! ^^ I’ll wish you merry christmas and happy holidays now bc I dunno how much I’ll be around to answer things during these next few days :’D I hope you enjoy your time!

oh, I hope you enjoy jaymes young then! when you get there that is :’D his feel something album is maybe my favorite so I hope you get time to listen to that ^^

aahh yeah, I feel you on that one :’D I usually leave my fics open in the background so that I don’t accidentally shove them at ppl’s faces just for this reason XD am a bit paranoid like that krhm... but I doubt that if ppl look at that stuff very quickly they really get what’s going on, especially if they don’t read stuff like that themselves ^^’

gosh I feel like I’ve seen way too many pics of wzc with dogs or his cat ;; pets always seem to make him extra bright and sweet haha. so maybe if we spent time together we could also just pet a ton of animals XD it would be nice, I really miss petting any soft furs ;;

and ah, I hope you can watch guardian too then :’D the drama has its weak points but the acting is great and it really brings out all the feels! and all the shots look super pretty imo :o it’s also the first chinese bl novel I ended up reading bc I was curious about the original story (the story gets very much twisted in the drama bc of censorship) and it blew me away! it was so cool :o even if I do like zhao yunlan and shen wei in the drama more ^^’

and then to answer your question for this time: I could say my favorite story arc is the xuanwu cave one? I like the moments with wen clan before that (the pining between wangxian, both of them being self-sacrificing idiots, wwx being obnoxious and all types of hilarious despite making jc’s blood pressure peak, the “let me carry you” -moment and wwx just being super soft for lwj) and then the fight itself (the beginning of yiling patriarch! the mystery at that moment is so great!) and after that the moments wangxian have together in the cave (the mianmian convo, lwj looking ready to smack wwx, wwx falling sick and wangxian/wuji!) my other one would probably be the destruction of lotus pier bc of my love for jc ;; that arc is super, super painful to watch bc so much gets destroyed but it is also so well made and really lets out all of the yun siblings’ characters. I always applaud the way wzc and xz have acted their parts when jc goes mad with anger and grief and wwx tries to hold him back. I love the symbolism of yanli’s bell? jade ornament? breaking when their parents die. I love the moments before this when all of the three are tied together with zidian and just look utterly scared and have to watch their parents sacrifice themselves (and I can’t stop staring at the way jc and wwx are holding hands like their life depends on that bc yes, they would, they are in this together after all). I love the short moment in the inn where the yun siblings have just lost it all and wwx is trying to hold things together. I loved knowing about jc’s sacrifice and then him getting caught and wn helping them and wwx being the best brother. I love the moments with wen siblings when jc is recovering, and wzc just does amazing as jc who has lost all hope and his will to live. and the core exchange moment is so damn painful but I always grow so warm over wwx’s deep love for his brother and jc’s smile when he discovers that his core is working again. it’s a wonderful arc, crafted so very well, even if it’s so painful that I always just sob my eyes out for it.

am happy you chose a bit softer arcs :’D tho yeah, I gotta agree that the golden core reveal is a wonderful arc too. it’s just one of those moments where I feel very conflicted bc I just wish to yell at everyone involved XD they are all being amazing but there is just. so much miscommunication? especially when wwx is unconscious and can’t really say anything for himself. I wish for group therapy, my god. please talk with each other. especially the yun brothers should just. sit down and talk and not be like this smh

am excited to hear more about your thoughts later on ^^ am enjoying all of this so much heh. see you again! ♥

i miss hyperfixiating on she ra too. catradora ruined it for me. i genuinely despise catra cause she reminds me of my own abuse and i got incredibly upset when she got paired up with her punching bag. even before that, like around ssn 3 when catra became nasty, i got a little uncomfortable watching it. i wish they toned down the abuse themes by like... 100 notches. why couldnt it be some rivalry between ppl who beliebe theyre fighting for the right thing, why did it have to get serious by making catra an abuser?

oh well...

ah man im sorry that it ended up reminding of your abuse D: that sucks ;;

i dont think "rivalry between ppl who believe theyre fighting for the right thing" would ever really be able to fit them though, bc that applies to adora, but catra on the other hand knows the horde is fucked up, and shes standing her ground Only bc she feels adora is abandoning her for new people, while they grew up together as pretty much each others only support. and obv im not saying this as like a defense for catras actions, she did some really fucked up shit, but from a story standpoint i think it really fits for her to end up that way- from how they were raised by shadow weaver, adora shows actively putting an end to the cycle of abuse and trying to be better, while catra shows how being abused can make you continue that cycle.

my main issue was how.. fast everything in season 5 went? it felt like they were wrapping up too many things in such a short time and couldnt really give each thing the proper exploration it deserved. i feel like it should have been spread out across 2 full seasons honestly. because what i really wanted to see was catras redemption arc really being complex and not really being resolved so quickly, but it didnt much focus on all the things shes done to hurt adora before the forgiveness (frankly i saw a catra redemption arc and catradora becoming canon a mile away, i didnt really have much doubt about it happening even with how far catra was falling, i just wanted to see how they were going to go through with it). like i know catra saved glimmer, that showed to all of them that shes now trying to be a better person, but they all still like... accepted her so quickly? after everything shes done? someone becoming a better person and ending up getting forgiveness from the people they hurt is a sensitive subject to handle, and i feel like it shoulda been explored a lot more on the ship all of them were on. (i also like when things show that someone becoming better doesnt necessarily mean theyll get or deserve forgiveness, but like i said i figured they probably were going to have catradora canon so, i didnt think thatd be the route theyd go)

i love catradora myself (tbh tho my fave she ra ship is glitradorabow, poly ftw!), i like the complexities and dark turns of the relationship story-wise, and i like thinking about them just being happy together bc thats what both of them always wanted, but i think the redemption arc shoulda been drawn out more to be able to be explored more properly and have them getting together feel like things were actually resolved between them.

anyways ik this was a bit off topic(?) to what you were saying but it had made me want to talk about my own sort of complaints about the ship, despite me personally liking it. but im really sorry that the series got ruined for you by the abuse themes :(

#ship criticism #series criticism #jic so ppl can filter!#starry asks #whenever im not really satisfied with something in canon i p much just form my own lil canon in my mind #where everything goes exactly how i think it should gjxkjg #abuse mention #abuse tw #if i need to tag anything else just lmk!

hmmm... mob psycho 100, serirei and shou! you don’t have to do all of them ofc

im doing all of them bc i love them ah

001 | Mob Psycho 100

Favorite character: this is so difficult, dont make me choose.... anyway, top three: Shigeo, Teru and Reigen

Least Favorite character: any adult character that feels like its ok to brutally attack teenagers??????? i dont think thats ok even if they are espers.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): serirei, terumob, ritshou

Character I find most attractive: hhh serizawa and reigen bc im gay :-)

Character I would marry: well ok first of all i dont wanna marry irl but.... serizawa

Character I would be best friends with: almost all of them!! i think i would vibe with Tome, i’d think of myself as her big sibling she could look up regarding lgbt stuff (along with reigen i guess)

a random thought: i was just talking w my partner about how mp100 changed our way to watch anime and i told them i probably wont bother to watch any other anime if it isnt as good

An unpopular opinion: mmh.... idk.... i think Matsuo should have been more explored as a character

My Canon OTP: is Serizawa canon enough? (this show doesnt have any relationships shown except for shigeo and ritsu’s parents now that i think about it)

My Non-canon OTP: this is tricky, how can you prove any of my otps arent canon?...

Most Badass Character: Clearly Shigeo has the biggest most raw powers, but he’s most badass in his character development i think, in the way he sees the world, how he as a main character manages to skip all the “i’m a misunderstood and lonely person bc of my powers” and realize he is the person he is bc he has people around that loves and cherishes him as he is, and that way he feels compelled to be good and kind and the best version of himself.... Epic. Also Reigen is badass bc as ridiculous a character he is, with dubious morals and a lying habit, he is a good person overall and also would die for his loved ones. And idk how he can get away with everything tbh, my mind explodes anytime he twists words and ends up winning arguments, like sir... thats a mad skill right there

Most Epic Villain: Shigeo’s hidden emotions could count as a villain? idk

Pairing I am not a fan of: anything creepy and Bad .... you know the ones.

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): idk really, i cant think of anyone. But i remember i was thinking how there arent a lot of female characters, even if the ones it has are super amazing and good... i would like if there were more, and also more explicit nonbinary characters as well... and explicit trans and gnc ones if we are here already...

Favourite Friendship: the entire Body Improvement Club! they all are precious and good pals.

Character I most identify with: Shigeo and Serizawa

Character I wish I could be: sometimes I wish i was as eloquent as Reigen, but then i remember separation arc and its like... no sir. I guess I’d like to be Serizawa to have a job i am good at where the people there know my struggles and are committed to support me through it

002 | Serirei

When I started shipping them: like a month and a half ago? I thought they were cute together a lot of time ago, but it was when i started hardly hyperfixating on mp100 when i was like *eyes emoji* over serirei. Watching the OVA and then reading the manga and all the theories supporting the thesis that its a slow burn coworkers to friends to lovers made me go ♥♥♥♥♥♥

My thoughts: they are dumbasses in LOVE

What makes me happy about them: their interactions overall are priceless, they balance each other a lot and give each other a sense of purpose and stability. Also, i project a little on serizawa and reigen is... y’know.... a flamboyant kind of dude.... which is my type, so.....

What makes me sad about them: the angst when thinking reigen could doubt his feelings or actions around serizawa, worrying over he isnt manipulating him into thinking he is in love, and serizawa thinking he isnt enough for reigen bc he is too nervous about not having enough relationship experience.....

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: when they picture them realizing they have feelings for each other bc they are jealous thinking they could be dating other ppl. I am polyamorous so i Do Not vibe with this trope At All

Things I look for in fanfic: pining... longing.... yearning.... then kiss... fluff.... thats enough to make me cry tbh

My wishlist: (idk what this is about so im skipping hh)

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: idk??? there arent many other characters they have that many chemistry...

My happily ever after for them: they start a thematic restaurant together! bc reigen loves cooking and with their success in Spirits & Such he decides to become a chef and Serizawa works with him, while also attending people’s troubles with spirits. They keep their contact with Shigeo and the rest of the kids and go on trips with them often. They see them grow up and become good people that go after their dreams, and are there for them if they have any trouble or are going though a rough patch.

003 | Shou

How I feel about this character: I feel like i have to protect him, but i guess he wouldnt accept it xd it makes me sad he has such an awful dad, and that it will probably lead to suffering to him as he grows up, bc that kind of abuse can really fuck you up, specially when you have to act like an adult to your parents at such a young age

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: ritsu! they just click together, and i love how their relationship is depicted as super funny by other people. They are best friends first and over all, but also are in love.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Its more of a headcanon but with Serizawa! I think he would get protective of Shou and try to check up on him from time to time, but Shou would do the same for him bc he is worried at how his dad treated him and the thing he said the last time they saw him. But actually they are projecting their own need to be protected on the other, so it ends up being kinda messy, but then they become friends and are able to laugh and do other stuff that doesnt include talking about Shou’s dad and Claw

My unpopular opinion about this character: i refer to him as redhead goku instead of jonny test xd

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that his feelings about his dad were explored more deeply, and also the thing i said before about Serizawa, i think that would have been spot on and could be a character development thing for both

Favorite friendship for this character: Ritsu!

My crossover ship: .... sasuke?

#thank you so much for asking!!!#it took me some time to do this it was a lot but im happy!!#mp100 #long post #Anonymous

i’ll see you tomorrow, boyfriend

draco malfoy x reader | university!au

requested: Hey could I get a draco x reader au from his point of view where he meets her in uni and has a crush but tries to hide it? Maybe they become friends (he goes to her dance shows and orchestra performances and such) and he falls more and more until eventually he just blurts out that he's in love?

word count: 3614

warnings: abuse, draco being edgy, lucius malfoy, maybe ooc narcissa a lil bit (its been 5ever since i wrote anything even mentioning her)

a/n: this is an au soooo yeah idk how this went. i liked it. i added in extra plot to make it semi spicy. also if ur sensitive to abuse then pls go away no offense but youll be triggered and i dont want ppl to get upset so i warned u

She caught him. And he was trapped.

It was late winter. He was focused with school and everything was fairly easy. Platinum hairs like feathers ruffled in the cool wind under the hot sun and he took his time walking to his new class of the semester. He was majoring in Business and Biological Engineering. Nothing would distract him from that. He had a goal. Make his father proud.

Life had different plans. Of course Draco would fulfill his destiny of graduating in those majors, but not without a small distraction. Walking into one of the core classes he had this semester he saw her. At first it was a glance. She was beautiful. He lowered his head and took his seat a few rows behind her.

Class began not much longer and Draco could focus but hardly. He knew he shouldn’t have been distracted by some silly girl but this girl was far more than silly. He noted she had the class with a couple of her friends and he would hear her laugh often. Sometimes she would get called out by the professor and shyly quiet down, her face turning red. It made his heart beat. He found it strangely poetic to note he had one. For so long he had disregarded emotion and feelings. Now, he had a new start.

That ‘start’ began a year ago and life at university had grown on him. Nothing was to get in his way. He was a determined student who rarely spoke to people and when he did it was something snarky or completely neutral. The seas of his life were calm. They were fine. You were the storm on the horizon.

The first day with you

Draco could feel the sun and cool air on his skin as he crossed campus to his English class of the semester. He wanted to sneer. The sun was nothing but a large ball of gas and flame to him today. The sun was not supposed to be out. Just another class to pass and then we move on. He thought to himself, walking into the B Block building. He saw a few kids rush into the building before him and they held the door open for him.

He nodded a thanks, his mouth continuously in a tight line and continued to his classroom. It was fairly small. Only about twenty four students. He knew all of them from the past semester or the previous year. Taking a seat about halfway in between the front and back, he opened up his binder and notebook, waiting patiently for class to start. Of course that meant other people were talking in that time. It was the same chatter, Draco knew. About him.

“That’s Draco Malfoy.”

“I heard he didn’t need scholarships. His dad paid for his tuition.” “He’s creepy. I heard he never talks.”

“Really? I heard he’s mean.” “Probably, I mean how can you grow up with people like the Malfoy’s and not be rude.” “Malfoy? He’s a Malfoy?”

It was all the same and he had come to ignore it. It was best to go through school by himself than spend it with loads of friends. It was easier for him. If something were to disrupt that, he would be a goner. His grades would be a goner as well. His father would make him pay.

Class started not much but five minutes later and the professor began to introduce themself. “Hello, class. I am Professor Eva Beverly and I will be your advanced English Composition and Literature class. This class will be easy if you pay attention. One should always be prepared here and if not-” The professor was cut off by the door swinging open and a girl stumbling into the classroom. Your back was facing Draco, but he could hear you say ‘Thank you’ to an advisor in the hall. Once you turned around, his heart nearly dropped. You were stunning and suddenly, his facial expression was one of shock instead of mysterious resentment. “Miss Y/L/N. You are late.” The professor crossed her arms. “I know Professor Beverly, I couldn’t remember which block this class was on so I had to go back to the advisors. I reality I tried to get here five minutes early and-” “Take a seat.” “Yes, ma’am.” You had rambled. Draco, if it were anyone else, would have found it annoying. But it was you. ‘Miss Y/L/N’ If he could only learn your first name. He was in luck. Empty seats surrounded Draco and for once in his life, he thanked whoever would listen for being the kid not anyone would want to sit by. Of course anyone who had any sense that is. But this girl, Draco could see, did not as you chose the seat to his right, in the row in front of him. To your right, a blonde girl wearing a simple flannel was laughing and Draco took it that she was this new girls friend. He recognized the blonde from the beginning of the semester. The both of you were freshman. To his dismay, however, the blonde was also one of the girls whispering about him. He was a goner. No doubt she would tell his beautiful crush all about what a ‘creep’ he was. As Draco dwelled on this, he couldn’t help but how much less of a creep he would be. . . with you.

Four months spent with you.

Fortunate for Draco, the girl, who’s name he learned to be Morgan, had not spoken of him to you, which gave him the chance to speak with you. It was completely out of character, but he set limits for himself. He would not allow you to distract him. Too much. He was in for a disappointment. In a way, Draco was aware of this. In fact, he had been thinking about it on his walk to class that day. His walk, with you. “Do you have any clue the word count Professor Beverly wants to have for our essay this Friday?” You asked Draco. He shrugged slightly. “Shouldn’t be more than two pages or about nine hundred words.” He replied and you grunted, frustrated. “I was hoping it to be more.” He looked at you, a small smirk forming at his lips. He had learned a lot about you in the past month. Your favorite color, what music you liked. He knew of the latter by looking at your phone from his seat. When you used it in class it was to switch from Spotify to Pandora to the Music app and back and forth. You were quite indecisive with your taste and the connection in the class was spotty.

“What, like two thousand words?” Draco inquired. He also learned you were a performing arts major and loved literature as well. You actually were quite popular in the sense that you knew a lot of people and did a lot of things. You were in the theatre department, the University orchestra, a scout for the local charity and the choir. Right now, you had been stressed trying to balance school work with the outside activities. That upcoming weekend, Draco remembered you had both a choir concert and a charity event all in the same day. You also had three core classes out of four periods on four days of the week. He wished he could take some of the load off of your hands and it killed him that he couldn’t. You and Draco had been spending quite a lot of time together and you only started hearing the rumors about him a month after you were seen as friends. You didn’t believe them though. Draco had an intimidating look, but he was quite kind to you and had a fantastic sense of humor. You also found him extremely attractive. The past four months had been filled with you working around school and extracurriculars all with Draco’s help. He went home once a month but you would see him again the Monday following the weekend and he always helped you study. Eventually you moved to sit next to him rather than in front of him and you couldn’t help but find yourself staring at him every once in awhile. You and him did not compute well in your head though. There was something off about him. Something about his family seemed odd. He never spoke of his parents and when he did he used his father's first name but called his mother ‘mom’. You had asked if they were seperated but when he replied negative you left it alone. Unfortunately, this just added onto your worry.

On the other hand, Draco was also worrying about a similar issue. Over the four months his grades had went down by two points. He still had A’s but if there was something Lucius Malfoy didn’t notice, it would be how big of an arse he is. Draco couldn’t attend your events this weekend. And oh, how he wanted to more than anything. He had seen pictures of you at said events before. For the orchestra concert you wore a black dress that made you look stunning and at your last charity event, you wore a beautiful gown that made Draco want to kiss you right then and there. He wanted more than anything to see you look so magical in person, but this was his weekend trip home. He couldn’t miss it. Not on his father’s watch.

“So, can you make it?” You asked, knowing what the answer would most likely be. “No, I have to visit my father. He wants to make sure I’m doing well in school.” He wants to ask why my grades are still not as good as they used to be. He thought to himself. He subconsciously touched the unseen scars on his back from where his father had punished him many times before. “Ah, well tell your mother ‘hello’ for me. And be sure to give her this. It’s for Christmas. I am a few months late but it took me awhile to get ahold of it.” You smiled and handed him a small box you had quickly pulled from your bag. He opened the box to reveal a medium sized necklace with emerald gems. “Y/N. . . You really shouldn’t have.” Draco was speechless. It was beautiful. And for you to do that for his mother, it was baffling. He really liked you. ��It’s alright, Draco. Let’s get to class.” You smiled, realizing you reached your classroom. You opened the door for him and you both entered, only for Draco to find it impossible to focus.

The ride home for Draco was impossible. He lived an hour and a half away and it was not long enough. He was only waiting for the dread of going home. Parking his car in the drive, he already saw his father in one of the windows. Checking the time, Draco saw it was six in the evening. Your concert had started and would end in thirty minutes and your charity event started at eight. He sighed, knowing he would be enduring a much worse night. Subconsciously, he clutched your present in his jacket pocket as he approached the front door, his suitcase in his other hand. His mother opened the door and he almost felt relieved, but the feeling quickly left him as he knew his father was still somewhere in the house. “Draco.” His mother smiled and pulled him in for a hug. He closed his eyes and sighed. “Mom.” He sighed in relief, wrapping his arm around her. “Come in, come in.” She ushered Draco into the house and he left his suitcase by the door, only to be greeted by his father. “Father.” Draco greeted. “Draco.” Lucius said, much less fond than his wife. “I understand that your grades are still not well. Is it still because of this girl?” Lucius asked coldly and Narcissa put a hand on her son. “Lucius, not now. He just got home.” She sighed and Lucius shot her a glare. “I will address whatever problems that need to be addressed. Draco?” He replied. “It’s not because of the girl.” He muttered, feeling small. “Is that so? You told your mother you met a girl about four or five months ago. When did your grades drop? Four or five months ago. Before then, nothing was wrong. Now you have some stupid girl around and suddenly your future is compromised.” Lucius spat and Draco felt his hand ball into a fist. “She’s absolutely not stupid.” Draco said, harshly. His father scoffed. “Oh really? Do you know where she lives? Do you even know if she has both parents? If she even has money?” Lucius scoffed and Draco aggressively stepped closer to his father. “She doesn’t have both parents at home but I’m twice the man you are so even I can look past something as petty as being against that.” Draco spat and was met with a sting on his cheek.

A sting, a gasp, a raised hand and the turn of a head.

The sting was delivered by his father's raised hand, causing Draco’s head to turn on impact and his mother to gasp and hurry to his side. Draco inhaled deeply, trying not to let the salt in his tears make his eyes go red. He turned away from his father to his mother. “Mom, Y/N gave this to me to give to you. She said it was for Christmas and it’s a little late and she’s sorry.” Draco calmly handed her the box. He turned to his father. “She also said to apologize for not getting anything for you because she doesn’t know much about you or your interests, but she says she promises to get you a gift for Christmas next time.” Draco said with a sour look. A tear dropped from his eye. “You don’t deserve anything she will ever give you.” Draco said, shaking with anger. His mother, behind him, had opened the gift from you and covered her mouth in shock. She saw the authenticity in the necklace and based on what Draco had told her about you, she knew that it must had cost you a fortune to afford that present for her. And here her husband was, insulting the girl who her son perfectly deserves, despite her social status. “Lucius.” She said with a tight lip. “What?” He snapped at her, his chin tilted high. “It’s not like he’s in love with the thing.” He spat and Draco balled his fists once more. “Actually. . .” Draco paused and looked at his crying mother. “I do.” She smiled. His father looked disgusted. “You what?” He asked. “I love her.” Draco confirmed and turned to the door. He grabbed his suitcase and pulled his mother close. “I’ll meet you every now and again, but I refuse to meet with him.” He whispered under his breath and pulled her in for a hug. He kissed her forehead before opening the door. “Where are you going?” Lucius asked, angrily. “A much better place to support the girl I love and I’m not coming back until you fix the way you see her.” He said harshly before slamming the door.

Draco stopped at a gas station half way back to Uni so he could change into a nice black shirt and some trousers. The argument at home only took thirty minutes so he was making good time. The only problem was traffic. When he did get to campus, however, he did memorize the building the event would be held in. He found a space to park and rushed in, catching the start just as the lights went down. There were a couple open seats in the back and he thought he spotted you towards the front but it was too dark to tell. He just waited patiently, not speaking to the others at his table.

A few people went on stage and spoke about helping children with cancer as well as a few other charities said people were helping. It wasn’t until a blonde woman on stage mentioned your charity that Draco really paid attention. “Now please welcome the founder for the Arts for Acknowledgment program, a program funded by donations here by students to fund educational programs and arts to acknowledge lost or underappreciated cultures, Y/N Y/L/N.”

And then a girl stood up in the crowd and Draco could no longer believe he had ever known you previous to that moment. You were stunning. He knew it was a black tie event, similar to a gala but you looked like royalty. Your hair was pinned back and your gown was a long and beautiful golden dress that had an off shoulder top but flared out to a large bottom.

And the way you walked so graceful onto the stage. The way you smiled to the crowd. He couldn’t help but snicker in contrast to the first day the two of you met. You clumsily falling into the classroom gave him the impression you would do poorly in heels. He was wrong. “Tonight, i would like to thank the help of my fellow classmates for supporting and donating as well as submitting suggestions and artwork. Thank you. I would like to thank my mother, for pushing me to pursue the goal of helping other people. By using my advantages to help those that had none. Thank you. I would love to thank my counselor who has helped me get through every anxiety attack or depressive episode I have had along the way. Really, without you I wouldn’t be as organized as I am with my life.” You laughed and Draco knew he was in love. He smiled. “And finally, I would like to thank my best friend, Draco Malfoy, who has been a silent push these past four months ton really put everything together. He has stayed up late countless nights with me to help put together final touches on payment plans, architectural deals or gallery organizations. Really, he should get some of the credit. I love that man for everything he’s done for me. Thank you.” Your words wavered in the last sentence and Draco’s world was paused. I love that man for everything he’s done for me. The words rang around his head like a pinball machine. Your voice wavered and it only happens when there was something behind your words you weren’t telling.

Draco felt an impulse and he decided to act upon it. “I am here.” He said as loudly as he could without yelling. Heads turned, yours being one of them. One of the women close to the stage looked appalled. “Young man! I don’t think-” “It’s alright.” You said, breathless yet a smile was glued to your face. The woman sat down with a huff and Draco made his way to the stage, his heart nearly exploding every step of the way. If he was wrong about this, he was about to embarrass himself in front of about, say, four hundred people or so.

He reached the mic and away from the mic, you spoke in a hushed tone. “I thought you were with your parents tonight.” He smirked. “You’re much better company.” He smiled and you mirrored his expression. “Ladies and gentlemen, this woman that stands before you is absolutely incredible. Yes, it’s true I stayed up countless nights to help, however, I barely deserve a mention. This project is hers and hers alone and to take any of the credit would be improper. How hard Y/N has had to work to get all of this done transcends me. But she has done it. For so many people. And she says she loves me for all I’ve done for her?” Draco spoke into the mic. “No. I love her for her generosity and all she’s done for you.” He stated, giving you a quick glance and noticed you were tearing up. He turned to you, but made sure the mic was able to pick up his words. “For me to let her go and be with someone else would break my heart.” His heartbeat accelerated. Little did he know, so did yours. “Y/N, will you be my girlfriend? You are incredibly intelligent and ambitious with amazing morals. You are kind, funny, and smart both book and street and I would love to make you mine.” Some noises of adoration were heard from the audience. This only egged Draco on. He got down on one knee. “I have had to keep these feelings inside for the past four months. But Y/L, I love you. Very much. Be mine?” He asked and you nodded. There were cheers from the crowd. You could barely hear them once Draco stood up and pressed a chaste kiss to your lips. Your heart was on fire. Once turned away, his arm did not leave your side.

You delivered the rest of your speech and the night concluded itself with food, music, and lots of talking. By the end of the night, Draco was walking you back inside your dorm after driving you home.

“I never knew.” You both ended up saying. You both laughed. “Neither did I.” You said, reaching your dorm door. “You looked stunning tonight.” Draco commented, cupping your face. “You look handsome yourself.” You replied before he kissed you once more. “Goodnight, I’ll see you tomorrow. . . Girlfriend.” Draco whispered after pulling away. You giggled and smiled. “I’ll see you tomorrow, boyfriend.” You replied and left Draco’s ears ringing with the word. Boyfriend.

hope you enjoyed!

love, simon review pt. 2

i’m still basking in the beauty of love, simon bc it’s truly a classic. it’s worth more than every bit of hype it’s gotten

my previous review covered how naturally relatable love, simon is esp from a young person’s pov when considering the dynamics between simon and his peers! now i’d like to touch upon his family and how they related to the lgbt aspect of the movie because i loved his parents so much in the sense that they managed to be three dimensional, unique characters with flaws while simultaneously being- ah, this is where it gets spoiler laden

there are definite spoilers ahead ! my previous post was fairly spoiler free but this one will go more specific. you’ve been warned !

love, simon review tag

just. his parents were so supportive.

to get this out of the way, wow, i wish his parents were my parents, and i cried like a baby when both of his parents accepted him on separate occasions. that however, is further in the future of this post. we need to, firstly, talk about simon coming out as it relates to his parents being supportive

i’m nb so simon’s struggle w coming out was, as i’m sure it was meant to be, relatable. when he came out to his parents it wasn’t instant wow we love you lets run around wearing pride flags on our foreheads. there was shock, fear even, definite unease esp on his father’s part. it wasn’t the ideal, yet it wasn’t horrible, but that’s precisely why it worked so well in this movie. the reactions of his family were v realistic

his little sister, nora, was lovely. i almost wish they’d had a little more of her but she didn’t at all have a criminally small amount of screen time considering the running length of the movie. they defo got her vibe from the book. simon in the book emphasizes how after his coming out it was one of the few times he’d seen her stand up to ppl as she was more of the blase live let live type and that shone through in a beautiful way. it didn’t feel like it was last minute added on tho i will admit it wasn’t on the same level of perfectly natural as some other parts of the movie (understandably)

however, the nora scene that rang most true w me was simon yelling at nora after she tried to confront him on the issue of him being exposed as gay on their school social media site. you could see the tear tracts on her face and that could’ve come off as overtly dramatic but they did a wonderful job of emphasizing the emotions she had for simon and the dynamic they shared subtly and strikingly. as an older sibling it hit hard

simon’s mom was a v realistic character going from her quirky psychology insights to her true to life frazzled mom vibe. and she was so, so sweet. the scene where she was trying to make those feminist signs to the scene where she was watching the video simon simon’s father made for their anniversary showcased her personality. it could’ve been so easy to fall into a trap of making her two dimensional but the movie spun a mother more than real for simon which was key

ok now let me just. how she handled it. she didn’t push for him to tell her yet she wasn’t unrealistically good at handling it but she tried her best and when he was ready to talk about it again she listened and then on top of that she had such a beautiful acceptance rhetoric to give him that was unbelievably real and so personal.

it was so so good how that scene was shot. the closer up on her face as she spoke about exhaling rlly grabbed you and it felt like she was talking to you which as someone who’s been thru the whole come out to your parent shebang, it was just weirdly melancholy and freeing and heartbreaking and uplifting all at once to see her accept him in the way that i’m sure many of us would’ve loved to have been right off the bat and they gave us that. love, simon gave us that.

so much power to emily spier. she was truly an icon.

after her acceptance of simon i genuinely thought things couldn’t get better but then love, simon surpassed all my expectations once again with simon’s dad. jack spier, folks, love, simon rlly went off and gave us this. he was, again, such a real character. it would’ve been so easy to push him into the jock dad stereotype simon even introduces him as, but they pulled out a ridiculous side with the scene with his painfully average fourth grader anniversary video, the tried and true dad side with his ridiculous, insensitive at times, but classically dad joke scenes and even an emotional, affectionate side with his acceptance of simon

his dad did it right in the end. he recognized his mistakes w the jokes, tried to the best of his ability to apologize and reassured simon that he was more than loved and accepted and that was so key. his dad could’ve brushed it off, said they were just jokes and left it there but no, his dad put himself out there and apologized as a parent should and confronted the real wall simon coming out had drawn up should he have chosen not to address it again.

he welcomed simon with open arms despite how hard it might’ve been for him to show that much emotion as was only right yet it it was just. v real. v sweet. v touching.

one criticism i have is the lack of alice spier, simon’s older sister. in the book they had such a classic sibling heart to heart over alice hiding her bf and simon hiding his sexuality and how revealing either of those things was in a way the same.

ofc the theme of revealing new parts of one self being akin to coming out repeatedly was still brought thru into the movie beautifully but it would’ve been nice to see alice play into that realization of simon’s. it would’ve been easy to make her seem like an unnatural part so i see why they cut her out but seeing as they did a fantastic job w everything else i don’t doubt that they could’ve managed it

overall, they did wonderful w simon’s family. it would’ve been simple to force them into stereotypes and 2d molds bc they’re just the family, they aren’t the friends or a love interest, but love, simon sculpted us a real, flawed, yet accepting and supportive family that i’m sure struck many of us right in the heart

#love simon #lgbt #love simon review #simon spier #bram greenfeld #personal #love simon commentary #this movie deserves everything #honestly and truly #nora spier #alice spier #emily spier #jack spier

I watched all of princess mononoke and okja last night! Ahh I have so many feelings and thoughts about it …

🌱🐷 First of I def see the parallels between both films and see how they each had a certain take on humanity and nature and the emotional levels included in both ?? I forgot how advanced cgi is now a days Okja looked believable to me ! I don’t wanna spoil too much but it was touching because they showing how emotionally intelligent and capable of reason Okja was … the way her eyes were so Real ? It was striking and very moving to me. It was very humanistic the way Okja felt emotions and I think it was a stylistic choice but it also seemed to mirror arguments a lot of organizations have about animals being able to feel these type of emotions which did strike a chord w me…I noticed the awakening the girl protagonist had at the end w how she consumes food and it was interesting but it also didn’t strike me as political ?? The loyalty and love she had for Okja was very well portrayed she never feared her or doubted her once ah it rlly was beautiful? The commentary the film had on capitalism was very interesting bc although it condemned it to an extent it also kinda shows that we can’t escape it ? (Kinda Marxist tbh). Another thing I noticed was the gay boylies from the animal rights organization ! Was I the only one who saw them that way ? The Korean-American character was also rlly well placed I heard his thick accent in Korean and I read more about his character and how he was an inbetweener amongst both cultures and that always resonates w me so ! Overall I don’t think the film’s aim was to be one side or the other but instead its point was to kinda be a lens that shows both sides ? Sure humanity and capitalism can be horrible and go against nature but simultaneously humans (maybe specifically at a micro level) are also capable of employing in capitalism and still keep some type of harmony w nature

🌱🐺 I think the main diff w both films is that princess mononoke is set in the past which gives it a more hopeful and ambiguous theme. It’s set in feudal Japan and has a lot of folklore and religious aspects not everyone watching might be familiar with but I think that’s what makes the film great bc it rlly is able to portray nature and it’s relationship w humans as something complicated that’s even sometimes beyond the viewers understanding ? I personally love that these characters are neither good or bad they’re complex just like ppl are irl- and I don’t see enough films choosing to portray characters in such a gray area so it’s admirable !! The strength and spotlight the female characters are given is also a personal favorite !! Lady Eboshi is a badass and helped those literally no one else would in history- lepers and prostitutes so that part seemed biblical to me and made her seem like a Mesiah type of figure while still not being completely good and having greed and desire for power which for a female character is amazing I can’t stress that enough! OH !! And another parallel is both films both have a person that’s a link to both worlds- this film has San who is a human rescued by wolf gods that cannot accept the harm humans have caused the spirits but is willing to compromise a little in the end bc of the male lead. My last thoughts on this film is that it truly holds a beautiful and hopeful message in the end: Nature and Humans can both cause harm but can also try and live harmoniously. The deer god’s actions can be seen as the neutralizer to me- I got the message of “we are one” tbh. The last words of the film made me feel warm and truly hopeful

#s thoughts #s movies #there's not plot spoilers rlly I tried to be abstract

high school musical + robert sugden: a masterlist

here it is guys

HSM 1

(HSM 1 has the worst soundtrack of all three movies if you ask me so i only have one song for this film)

get’cha head in the game - this song is all about focusing on what you’re supposed to be doing and who you’re supposed to be. very 2014 robert if you ask me.

Wait a minute It’s not the time or place Wait a minute Get my head in the game

[…]

Why am I feeling so wrong My head’s in the game But my heart’s in the song

HSM 2

fabulous - this is very self-explanatory. like tell me this song isn’t 2014 robert engaged to chrissie and living it up at home farm while everyone he used to know are Peasants.

i don’t dance - listen up losers okay. this song is like, clearly a metaphor for bisexuality:

[Ryan] You’ll never know [Chad] Oh, I know [Ryan] If you never try [Chad] There’s just one little thing that stops me ev'ry time

(the thing that’s stopping you is internalised homophobia my friend)

I’ve got what it takes, playin’ my game So you better spin that pitch you’re gonna throw me, yeah I’ll show you how I swing

(swing. bi ppl swing both ways, remember)

also, reminder that chad dances all the way through this song while claiming that he can’t dance. just like how robert claimed he was straight while shagging a bloke.

gotta go my own way - oh boy lads here we go. the lyrics of this song sums up so many of aaron and robert’s arguments so well? just look:

Life keeps gettin in the way Whenever we try, somehow the plan Is always rearranged

(can you think of a couple who’s relationship has been more disrupted by how shitty life is????)

Don’t wanna leave it all behind But I get my hopes up And I watch them fall every time Another color turns to grey And it’s just too hard to watch it all Slowly fade away

(i mean like. robert is shown to let aaron down a lot lbr)

[Troy] What about us? What about everything we’ve been through? [Gabriella] What about trust? [Troy] You know I never wanted to hurt you [Gabriella] what about me? [Troy] What am I supposed to do?

(i’m putting money on this being exactly how the argument after the reveal goes mark my words)

bet on it - ah the song that started it all. bet on it is all about not being true to yourself and losing yourself to the expectations of others. now does that sound like Robert or what?

Everybody’s always talking at me Everybody’s trying to get in my head I wanna listen to my own heart talking I need to count on myself instead

(i want to be myself now - with you)

Did you ever Lose yourself to get what you want? Did you ever Get on a ride, then wanna get off?

Did you ever push away the ones You should’ve held close? Did you ever let go? Did you ever not know?

(HAHAHAH IM CRYING)

I wanna make it right, that is the way To turn my life around, today is the day

(early 2016 robert when he promised to change)

Did you ever Doubt your dream will ever come true? Did you ever Blame the world and never blame you?

I will never Try to live a lie again I don’t wanna win this game If I can’t play it my way

(this sums up robert’s character development so well????)

HSM 3

can i have this dance? - okay but this song is all about two people supporting each other through hard times?? it fits robron so well fight me karen

It’s like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you It’s one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do

(like. robert and aaron are such an unlikely couple? but they work so well)

Take my hand, I’ll take the lead And every turn will be safe with me Don’t be afraid, afraid to fall You know I’ll catch you through it all

(im just saying)

Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide ‘Cause together or not, our dance won’t stop Let it rain, let it pour What we have is worth fighting for You know I believe, that we were meant to be

(i mean. robert and aaron fight so hard through everything. they’re literally gonna fight for their relationship harder than every next week)

scream - this is a song about being lost and not knowing who you are and what you want to do. it not just fits robert in general but specifically the Bisexual Struggle™

They won’t say which way to go Just trust your heart To find what you’re here for Open another door But I’m not sure anymore It’s just so hard

Voices in my head Tell me they know best Got me on the edge They’re pushin’, pushin’, they’re pushin’

[…]

I’m punchin’, crushin’, I’m gonna Fight to find myself Me, and no one else Which way, I can’t tell I’m searchin’, searchin’, can’t find a (Way that I should turn)

(robert is like the King of Internal Conflict)

I don’t know where to go What’s the right team

(bi bi bi)

anyway i hope u enjoyed this post that i made instead of doing anything constuctive w/ my life

#i spent like 3/4 of an hour on this #i wish i could say i regretted it #emmerdale text #robert sugden #mine

I told ya the shot with Shinsuke was high-water for pictures of me! XD

*giggling* In my defense I wasn’t expecting to take one.

So my day! Was pretty amazing! I’ve gotta cut this cos it’s gonna be long :D

I knew Mick (+Noelle) and Bret were gonna be at comic-con this weekend, but as it was so close to the house show we went to last weekend and I had a sore back all week, plus mum's knee was acting up, we weren't sure we'd be able to go. But last night we concluded that it was a chance we likely wouldn't ever get again, and what the hell. I pulled my hardcover 1st edition of his first book off the shelf where it's been kept with the others for what...18 years? and packed it up for the trip. Probably due to all the other distractions it didn't seem as heavy as a 500+ page monster ought to have lol

We actually had a train adventure beforehand, b/c GO transit has expanded service a bit to Barrie, so, there was an 11:02 (or something) train down. It was literally cheaper for both of us to go down AND BACK on the train than it was for a one way bus trip, just had to get to Barrie first. Plus, c'mon, it was a train. Lol. I haven't been on a train since kindergarten. Mum kept giggling her head off every time the whistle blew at a crossing. We sat facing the wrong way on the trip down, which really made me dizzy so we switched it up for the way home...

Honestly the only minor hiccup in the journey was when we got to Union station, with all the construction, it was a touch confusing finding which way to head to the PATH over to the convention centre. As always, a lovely TTC employee guided our way. Contrary to experiences w/ Fan Expo in the past, the entrance off the PATH walkway into the convention centre proper were actually open today, so we didn't have to go outside in the wind & snow at all. Usually it's a long wind down a big ramp and then down some stairs, across a little...sort of green sidewalky area and then down more stairs, then walking a few blocks to the spiral parking garage, but this was like...a less than five minute walk. Aces.

We actually got a little more lost on the convention floor than we had at Union station lol...I ah, temporarily misinterpreted the floor plan map, so we took a slight detour on the way to the signing area. Mum made me take a picture of a guy dressed like Alf, tacky tourist shirt and all. I saw a few genderbent Road Hoggs, at least one Lara Croft, three separate and distinct Negans, a few dozen Harleys, a couple in really well-done Skyrim armour...some people went full-steampunk, bustle skirts and all, there was somebody with a baby dressed like pikachu lol. Many cosplayers. Bless their hearts, I wouldn’t have the energy.

The only other time we've been to the winter comic-con as opposed to Fan Expo was in like 2003, when we went to go see RVD - it was a much smaller area in a different location and pretty sparsely attended by comparison, though this one on its busiest day was still prolly only half as crowded as FE would be on that saturday. We went by a few ppl with wheelchairs and mobility scooters who were probably finding it much less of a chore than usual to navigate because there was actually space to...well, give them space. Anyway my point being, I got a bit confused because the signing area tends to change from year to year and sometimes even day to day. This time though it was over by the food court area (I went in the exact opposite direction at first lol)

So we got in Mick's line :) He and Noelle were sharing a table, next to Bret Hart and uh...somebody I had no idea who the hell he was. Looked like a default video game character though. Brunette, white, a little stubble. Name entirely escapes me.

A con-worker asked if we were doing a selfie or an autograph, reason being, for autographs you wrote your name on a sticky so you wouldn't have to spell it out to him when you got up there, just show him the sticky - this has gotta be the most genius idea I've ever heard lol B/c when I say ‘spontaneous’ I mean ‘prepared for at least three days in advance,’ on the off chance we made it down to see him, I made a little santa-hat ornament for him on Thursday night. Bret was away on a break when we got in our line, which moved very slowly because, well. You'll see. Another con worker was keeping the line to the left, occasionally walking up and down singing, wearing elf-ear cuffs lol. I think her name was Bernadette but I'm not 100% certain, it definitely started with a B. She was, appropriately enough for the ear jewelry, sort of the selfie-elf, someone to take the pictures w/ guest cameras.

As we got closer up it became more apparent why we were moving a little slower than I've previously experienced in such lines - b/c Mick Foley is like...the undisputed champion of making ppl feel like he's known you all your life, and did a lot of chatting w/ everybody who went up.

When it came to our turn, for instance, he was glancing at his phone - he immediately explained at some length that “mom” (I'm assuming he here meant Collette, b/c my father also refers to mum as “mom” when I'm included in the conversation, and Noelle kinda was - but I suppose it may have been his own mother, or mother in law) was having some heavy-drama travel fun of her own lol. I guess she told him “I had to take a TRAIN!” making it sound, as Mick put it, “Like she was on a frontier trek or a world-tour on the orient express,” but what she actually meant was she had to catch the same shuttle he'd ridden “like 400 times” in the past lol. He said there would be a lengthy “you wouldn't BELIEVE...” story about it later. “One for the next book!” I said, laughing. He segued easily into a hello and a what can I do for you? So I handed over the book, which was still full of place-markers and dog-ears from the last time I read it.

He took care of the signing business, and then told me he liked all of my jewelry and stuff (I actually went light on it today). Noelle chimed in that she did too (she is such a sweetheart). He summoned over Bernadette to make sure I saw her elf-ear cuffs and light-up necklace lol.

Then he pulled out a little yellow coin purse from his fanny pack (his fanny pack!) asking if I wanted to see his ring. I sort of assumed it would be like, the HOF ring, and said it was probably fancier than mine. “I doubt it, it's in here with two of my teeth!” he said cheerfully, and produced instead a ‘horseshoe ring’ made at Santa's Village lol. He was certain to note that this was not the Santa's Village here in Ontario, but one in the 'states (I found this deeply endearing b/c who the hell knows about our rinky dink little santa's village who didn't grow up here? As a child on their kid-sized motorized tricycles, I once mistook the handlebar reverse lever for the gas and promptly drove backwards, up over a curb. I lost that race. I should have told him that one lol). Noelle was laughing the whole time b/c she didn't realize he kept the ring with his dental plate. His ring story was, that I guess when Christy Hemme was getting married she wanted, coincidentally, to give horseshoe rings away as favors to the guests but didn't know where to find them - he happened to overhear, “Did you say you were looking for horseshoe rings?” “You've come to the right guy!” I volunteered. So he got in touch w/ his peeps at Santa's village and they sent a whole box of the things. lol. “It's getting a little rusty now,” he lamented fondly, spinning it on his finger. “Yeah, cos you keep it in with your teeth!” said Noelle, still laughing. “That was actually the perfect segueway though,” I said, “Cos I made you something silly.” I handed over the ornament in its little santa-decorated bag (I had one left over that I'd made last christmas, somehow it never got put away, funny how things work out). He immediately said he loved the bag & asked where I'd found it, I told him I made that too. He actually asked me if he could open it lol. I said, of course!

I believe he was quite pleased with the santa-hat ornament lol. He said, “This is going right in the Christmas Room when we get home tomorrow.” “Ooh, you made the Christmas Room!” said Noelle. He tucked it back in the bag and couldn't remember how the tie had gone, so I was trying to sort of explain...lol...we were all watching raptly as he tried to re-tie the little bow. Noelle teasingly offered to help. “He'll get it,” I said, “I believe in him.” He did get it, or near enough <3 and put it in his fanny pack - tbh I'm as proud of making the fanny pack as I am of making the Christmas Room XD

He asked if there was anything else he could do for me and I thought, “Welp!” I explained that I had a friend in the states, who wanted to be a wrestler, and who struggled with depression, like I do, and I thought that maybe he could sign something for her and it might cheer her up a little. He asked how long I'd/we'd had trouble & I told him...he talked a little about how after so many concussions he'd had some difficulties that way too, but, it can get better. So hang in there - both of us, hang in there. “That's not really medical advice, but,” he grinned. “I'll take it anyway,” I said. He had a few pictures there for signing - he immediately pulled a Dude Love. “It's gotta be Dude Love,” he explained. “Nothing says ‘cheer up’ like Dude Love.” So @yungcrybby-anonymousbosch, I ah, I have a signed Dude Love to send you. lol. <3

(I blurred the name on the scan ‘cos you may not want it Generally Known - actually since I didn’t have a sticky I think he just took his best guess and made it a bit deliberately shaky so, if you squint hard enough it could say anything you wanted it to lol)

(Noelle pointed out how cool the coke bottle shades w/ the RAW logo were. I believe he said they were ‘groovy’)

He asked if we were there for a selfie too - I had trouble stammering an answer b/c of course per the vulture policy that the con operates under, y'have to pay for a selfie separately and b/c we'd gone down last-minute there was no time to grab any more cash than what we had on hand (nor would I have, as I always say, no picture with me in it is worth paying for lol). He took my meaning though, and made a Nick Fury executive decision about the separate fee, summoning Bernadette again lol. As I say he’s quite chatty, and at this point got distracted w/ a quick update from another con-worker RE: something he’d sent him to find out, I think. In the interim we chatted w/ Noelle a little, she asked us if we lived in Toronto. “We’re up north, actually,” I said, “We actually did take the train!” Anyway, HENCE, why I now have two goofy selfies w/ my mum and Mick Foley, hardcore legend and lord of the sweethearts. I just realized that it immortalizes my pink kinesio tape lol. And sensei kinda made the picture too, via my Takeover TO shirt. Joe is hidden by purse straps though. No wonder he’s always so angry.

As mum was checking out the selfie w/ Bernadette and stowing her camera, he quietly asked if he could ask about my hand. “Oh, it's congenital,” I explained. He pointed out one of the people in the line who I'd actually noticed before, cos he'd gone up to talk to Bernadette at one point, in a wheelchair and missing part of one arm as well - Mick must have talked to him a few times already cos he explained it'd had been a bout of childhood meningitis, resulting in multiple amputations. I'd actually assumed that when I saw the guy go by, having seen the signs before. He said, he'd been a little uncertain personally when he decided to cut his hair, 'cos it was the first time his ear had been really exposed/on display in a decade or so. But, he figured, that differences are important. “That's not professional advice either,” he said. I hugged him a little lol. He said he appreciated us coming all the way down on the train just to see him (I didn’t think he’d even heard that bit) Just as he was turning back to his table and we were saying goodbye, I had to do it - I said “Hey - do me a solid: don't let Smackdown have Nakamura!” He started laughing and noted that might be beyond his pay grade XD So we said our goodbyes to him and Noelle and ...just yay. :)

Primary mission completed, we went to find something to drink, 'cos we were both pretty parched by that point. Ended up at one of the quieter food booths, a sorta coffee/sandwich kinda deal. I had a turkey/tomato/spinach sandwich that I would like to pay special tribute to because it was so fucking good. lol. I will love you forever, sandwich, couldn't have made it without ya.

There was a train home at 4:28 but we weren't entirely sure if we'd be able to make it, the alternative being a bus at 7:15. So we wandered around looking at various booths and things for a while. Wasn't much there I needed, though it's always interesting to look at stuff. My nerd ass ended up buying a Sailor Moon pill case, at least 50% because the packaging was in japanese lol. I bought a cameo sugar skull pendant, too. Idk where the mental disconnect happened cos I intended to grab a red one to match my Nakamura stuff and ended up like, lizard-braining and taking purple instead. I guess my heart wanted purple today & overruled the hand. IT'S STILL NEAT. We also went looking for a sorta...it's like a sized-up card protector, for 9x11's or whatever the size of the Dude Love picture is lol. I didn't want to put it in my backpack unprotected cos it 100% would have gotten beaten to hell in there, especially w/ like 5lbs of Foley antecdotes to contend with. It’s win-win cos I can mail it that way, too. We tried one place first & they didn’t have one, but drew us a map on the con floor plan to someone who did hahaha. So we had a side-quest, to follow, too.

We did, actually, end up making the early train home...I can't tell you what luxury it was to be home by the time the bus would have been -leaving-

But yeah...yeah. That was a hell of a nice day.
