I like you. I tried denying it and I tried to rationalize it, but nothing worked. It’s true. I like you.

lie with you [or, how riize comforts you when you're crying bc of a nightmare]
Tumblr media
pairing : ot7 x reader! genre : implied hurt n subsequent comfort cw/tw : hugging + kisses + food mention + possibly swearing? wc : idk ,,
Tumblr media
shotaro ,. ! - im a firm believer of taro heavy sleeper agenda - bro will be out like a log, no fire alarm is waking him up anytime soon D: - but! when you wake up because of the nightmare and end up moving a bit away from him as you process it - he knows. - he just somehow subconsciously knows that there's distance between you and just reaches out for your warmth and traps you in a big hug – all while he's snoring softly (in the CUTEST way ever) - ends up comforting you without even being conscious he's just skilled tm like that yk??
eunseok ,. ! - light sleeper!!!!! his happy burritos and cream pasta dreams stop the literal second he hears the slightest whimper out of you - mentally goes "who tf hurt my darling s/o." - when he finds out it's you crying bc of a nightmare i'm sorry but he might tease you (later ofc, when you've had enough time to heal from it bbg dw) - but rn he offers distractions in the form of bingeing cutesy animes (imagine you watch horimiya's toffee scene w him or any other anime romance cliche and he goes would u like me to do that to you. i'd pass awa y)
sungchan ,. ! - you may have to wake him up depending on how tired he is :/ - but as soon as he finds out, wraps you up in the comfiest + warmest clothes he can find and throws you over his shoulder like a potato sack/holds you in a princess carry -> depends entirely on which you prefer he can do both 💪 - takes you straight to his car (we're js gonna pretend he can drive for the sake of the hc my extensive research i.e. 15 mins on reddit led me nowhere ;-;) it's time for a midnight drive! - puts on you guys' shared playlist and takes you to a grocery store snack run followed by going to an open-ish place so you can watch the stars tgt :(
wonbin ,. ! - i think his waking up abilities are honed purely due to being w you (yk like what if you need him to hug you at like 3 am. and he's too busy passed out (dreaming of you) then what.) - feels you trembling and is lowkey upset that you didn't wake him up when you needed him :( - he gets that you might not want to face him tho, so simply presses his chest against your back and places soft kisses on your neck. probably drops in a couple "'m here for you love" "it'll be okay" "i love you so so much yk that right?" he's versatile w his sweet nothings like that :( <3
seunghan ,. ! - this guy scares me ngl /j - he probably knows you're having a nightmare before you know you're having a nightmare - wakes you up by shaking you gently, comforts you with many many many hugs as you're waking up - kisses your tears away .. (i'm so weak for him) - lays your head down on his lap and lets you vent to him just listening to you, dude's gentle presence alone is enough to calm you down - BUT ALSO. imagining him drawing you a warm bath and you ending up coercing him into wearing cutesy animal face masks w you :(((
sohee ,. ! - guy who must be facing his s/o while sleeping !! gets to know and wakes up immediately when you start crying - clings to you like a koala that's it that's the hc. has his head buried in your neck, hands tied so so tightly around your waist which greatly help to ground you - also probably cracks a couple of really cringey jokes something along the lines of "i'll be your silver knight, my princess" but says it w the softest, sweetest expression and in the sincerest, honey-like tone that you can't help but melting completely :( - when he feels you've calmed down enough prob also initiates a tickle fight sorry i don't make the rules acc to him you need to laugh after a bout of crying okay??
anton ,. ! - guy who must be facing his s/o while sleeping (2) except his ass is not waking up unless you physically shake him awake - you'd probably do that though bc what better way to comfort you from a nightmare than your half-asleep bf's soothing voice? - bro is probably so out of it that he just very eloquently goes "wh huh wha" or something of that sort - when he's coherent enough (not really) he would sort of kind of roll up on top of you forgetting his 6'1 stature - but on the positive side his weight over you is a lot like a really comfy blanket (that can kiss your forehead w the utmost gentleness) - if you ask nicely he'll even sing you a lil lullaby to help you get back to sleep <3

You don’t know how you ended up in this situation, actually, you did, having insisted you’d spend the night with your friends no matter who was trying to kill them. But you never expected to be locked inside Quinn’s room watching your friend’s older sister climb across a ladder to the next-door neighbor’s apartment while Ghostface was actively trying to get in.
You assumed Tara, Mindy, and Anika had all got out of the apartment when the chasing started, or at least that’s what you had hoped happened but you couldn’t think about that right now, all you could think about was the burning sensation in your stomach as you sat on the blood covered bed.
Chad turned to you explaining how he was going to crawl across first so that he could grab you the second you made it to the other side. He watched as you stood up and stood beside him while hugging yourself. 
Looking out as Sam was pulled through the window by Danny, Chad looked back at you before speaking again, “This might be a problem” You scoffed looking up at your best friend,
“That’s a fucking understatement” You winced once more before he began climbing out of the window, carefully focusing on Sam and Danny instead of the ground.
Finally, he came through the window as you took your hands off of your stomach. You felt them tremble, wiping off any blood on the back of your jeans before beginning to climb onto the ladder.
You could barely hear Sam and Chad as they yelled across to you, too focused on trying to subdue the pain you felt with deep breathing exercises.
But you didn’t miss the way they started yelling more urgently, you knew what this meant. There was only one reason they’d react like that. But you can’t look back now. You can’t risk it.
Tears flooded your vision, making everything even hazier than it already was as you tried not to stop moving, shakily grabbing onto the next step.  
Panic filled your body as you felt somebody yank on the ladder, causing it to move from under you. You tightened your grip as you looked at Chad who was pleading with you to hold on. You muttered a string of curse words as you carefully went to keep going, just as Ghostface began violently shaking the ladder.
You gasped when you almost lost your grip, you no longer heard the screams from your friends, or the sounds the ladder made as it moved. Everything slowed down, the only thing you heard now was your rapid breaths. Pleading with yourself in your head to just hold on.  
You closed your eyes just as everything came back. The screaming, the shaking, the sobbing.
You heard Danny yell at you to duck and just as you did he threw an old baseball through his window and into Quinn’s hitting Ghostface in the chest, maybe he decided it wasn’t worth it, or maybe he got annoyed, you didn’t know and you didn’t care all you care about is the shaking stopped. 
And you kept going, and after what felt like forever but was no more than 30 seconds, Chad pulled you through, and Danny dropped the ladder out of the window. 
You all watched as Ghostface stomped out of the bedroom, leaving you alone in the sound of heavy breathing and 911 talking through Danny’s phone.

You sat across from Jeongin inspecting the serious expression on his face, trying to decipher what was wrong. He’d seemed to have been pulling away lately and you weren’t sure why. Before you could start the what ifs in your head, Jeongin spoke up. 
“I can’t.” You tilted your head confused by his vague statement. 
“You can’t... what?” You were terrified to ask that question because of what the answer might be. Then he said it. Your worst nightmare. 
“This, us, I can’t. I just can’t anymore.” You fought the tears that wanted to fall as soon as the words left his lips. What was wrong with you? What did you do for all these guys, even your best friend, to not want to be with you? 
“I... I don’t understand...” You managed to finally choke out. 
“You’re suffocating me. I never have a moment of peace away from you!” He said harshly. Your tears could no longer be held off and he only seemed to be more annoyed by your crying. 
“Please don’t make a scene... just, it is what it is. I won’t change my mind. I’ve felt this way for a while and thought about it a lot. I just... don’t want to be with you anymore.” It was like a punch in the gut. You tried to muffle your sobs. Your best friend, the love of your life, didn’t want to be with you anymore? 
“Wh-a... I thought you loved me.” Jeongin looked down a cold expression on his face. 
“So did I.” You broke down then, not caring who saw, or what kind of scene you made, not caring if it upset Jeongin. You sobbed and begged him not to do this to you. 
“Not us too!” Jeongin stood to leave. You stood up too and clutched onto his jacket. 
“Please Jeongin! Please! Don’t leave me!” He broke free of your grasp and headed for the exit as you sank to your knees and cried hysterically. 
Jeongin woke up quickly when you started to scream for him in your sleep. He grabbed you and hugged you close as he tried to wake you and calm you down.  
“Baby! Y/n! Do you hear me? It's okay, I’m here!” You started to down and came to. As soon as you saw Jeongin you realized it had only been a dream and started sobbing. You held on to him tightly, certain he would disappear if you didn’t. You’d been having these nightmares for a couple weeks now.
Anytime Jeongin asked what they had been about you told him you couldn’t remember but the way you would cry for him he knew you weren’t telling the truth. More often than not they ended with you screaming for him. Still, he didn’t push the matter. If the nightmares got much worse, he was going to insist on you talking to someone or going to the doctor. 
After you settled down you and Jeongin laid back. Jeongin wrapped his arms around you, and you felt so safe and warm. The total opposite of the awful dream you’d just had. But it was just a dream, your Innie was still there, still loved you. You slowly drifted back off to sleep. Jeongin watched until you did and then closed his eyes.  
The truth was your nightmares were from you being terrified of Jeongin leaving you. You had been with him longer than any other boyfriend you’d been with, so you were just waiting for the other shoe to drop. For him to become bored or annoyed just like all the others.
Granted the chief complaint with your ex’s was about you and Jeongin’s relationship. You didn’t spend time with your other friends like you did with him though. What if he feels smothered, what if you were suffocating him like a flame with no air eventually burning out. Is that what you were doing, would you burn him out? 
Another thing that worried you was you had been together for almost a year and despite spending most nights together at one place or the other you still hadn’t moved in together. If Jeongin wasn’t ready, you understood still you couldn’t help but think that maybe the reason was because he was not as sure of his feelings for you. You had been thinking these thoughts as you sat in your cubical at work.
You had texted Jeongin earlier and got no reply which was unusual for him. You tried calling after a while, straight to voicemail. You started to worry. What if something happened, what if he was hurt, or sick? Then the ugly side of your thoughts came out. What if this is it, what if he’s finally left you, what if he just ghosts you and never says goodbye, what if you lose your best friend? 
You got control of your breathing as you dialed Jeongin’s number again. This time it started to ring, your heart rate started to slow considerably when it did. It rang only a couple of times before he answered. You almost started to cry when you heard his voice. 
“y/n? Hey what’s up?” You tried not to be suspicious of him calling you by your name instead of baby or Jagiya like he usually did. You tried not to be suspicious of the fact that he sounded out of breath and like you’d just interrupted something.
You felt a knot form in your stomach and crawl up your throat at the thought of him cheating on you with someone else. Jeongin’s voice snapped you out of it. 
“y/n baby? Are there? Are you okay?” His voice had gotten lower, but he seemed genuinely concerned as to whether or not you were alright. 
“Oh, uh yea Innie I’m here, sorry got distracted by something. I was just calling to see if we’re staying at yours or mine tonight.” Jeongin let out a heavy sigh. 
“I have a ton of work to catch up on I don’t think we’ll get to spend time together.” Your heart sank a bit, but it was only a night. 
“Well, okay what about tomorrow?” He let out another sigh. 
“I don’t think we’ll get to spend time together this week.” Your heart sank more than a bit that time, and you felt your chest get tighter. You could feel the tears that wanted to well up in your eyes.
Obviously, you and Jeongin spent time apart but you both had very busy work schedules, so you always made plans ahead of time, so the other knew. This was out of the ordinary and it made the dark thoughts in your mind run wild. ‘It’s the beginning of the end for you’ ‘he’s going to leave you’ ‘none of the others stayed why would he.’ 
“Oh...” Jeongin could hear the disappointment in the two letters. 
“If I can get away for an hour or two, I will okay baby? Promise.” Jeongin had always kept his promises no matter what and had never given you any reason not to trust him. You couldn’t let past relationships bleed onto this one. 
“Okay...” You had just managed to get the word out before he was telling you he had to go. 
“Okay I love... *click* you.” You couldn’t fight your tears off anymore. Not even an I love you? You were suddenly going to be apart from each other a whole week and not even an I love you? That did not ease your mind at all and that night you couldn’t sleep because of the thoughts that plagued your mind. You woke up the next day exhausted still but drug yourself out of bed and got to work.
You sent Jeongin a good morning text telling him you loved him. When lunchtime rolled around and there was still no text back the voices got louder. ‘He’s probably at your place now getting all his things’ ‘he’s going to leave you, he’s going to leave you, he’s going...’ You were snapped from your downward spiral by your text notification going off. When you saw it was Jeongin your heart leapt a little. Until you saw the quick message.  
‘Love you, I’ll ttyl.’ Well at least he said I love you this time. You tried to get a hold of yourself. You couldn’t keep jumping to such drastic conclusions without proof and you trusted Jeongin. Usually. He had been acting strange the last few days though. The next day you called Jeongin close to your lunch hour.  
“Hey Innie!” You were glad he answered. 
“Are you busy? Can we have lunch today?” When he spoke, he sounded drained of energy and somewhat irritated. 
“No y/n I’m drowning in work over here I don’t think I can make today. This weekend, okay?” You were fighting tears back again. You missed him and he didn’t seem to miss you at all. 
“Okay Jeongin.” He hated that you sounded upset and calling him Jeongin took him back a bit. You never called him by his full first name. 
“Okay, I love you jagiya.” You had to get off the phone quick before you started bawling. 
“I have to go, love you.” Click. You hung up and started sobbing. You cried because even though he said it with conviction, you didn’t know if it was really true. Did he still love you, and if he did then why did it feel like you're drifting apart? You decided to just go out for lunch alone. You thought the fresh air and a meal might help alleviate some of the stress you were feeling and some alone time to think wouldn’t hurt either. 
You were walking towards your favorite bistro; they always had killer lunch specials. The temperature outside was perfect. The sun was out, a slight breeze and a cloud or two to shade you from time to time. You were feeling a bit better already. You were about to cross the street, when you looked ahead there was a little café across from you.
You had thought your eyes were playing tricks on you, so you rubbed them and looked again. It was not a trick of the light. Sitting in the small café was Jeongin and sitting with him was an intimidatingly beautiful woman. The total opposite of you in just about every way. Thin and elegant, hair, makeup, outfit, flawless, she seemed to be just a bit older than you maybe, but it didn’t matter because she was stunning. You suddenly felt like you were going to throw up. You dry heaved and ran for the closest ally way. 
You leaned your back against the building. What was he doing there? He said he was too swamped with work to have lunch with you but he’s not too busy for her? You knew it was crazy, but you watched them through the window from across the street as you called Jeongin.
You saw him look at his phone ignore the call and start to type out a text that you received shortly after. ‘In a board meeting with the big wigs, call you later.’ Board meeting huh? Now you were hurt and angry. He just lied to you flat out. No problem. Maybe Jeongin wasn’t as different from the other guys that you had dated. 
When Jeongin called you that night you were in the tub taking a bubble bath. You were trying to make yourself feel better, hot bath, candles, some soft music, then the phone rang. The familiar ringtone that belonged to Jeongin. You picked it up and you were about to answer. Instead, you just put it back down and let it go to voicemail.
You didn’t have the energy at that point, and you didn’t trust yourself to not ask outright about the woman you saw him with today. When you got out of the tub you wrapped yourself in a towel and then played Jeongin’s voicemail. 
“Hey jagi, I only have a little bit of time right now. I hope you’re eating and resting well. This weekend, promise! I can’t wait to see you beautiful. I love you.” He hung up and you wanted so badly to call him back and tell him you loved him too, but you were so confused.
It seemed like things were going poorly between you but then Jeongin would say things like your voicemail, and you would think maybe you were reading too much into things. Then you remembered the woman and the ‘board meeting’. 
It was finally the weekend. You were ecstatic. The weekend meant time with Jeongin. You got cleaned up and put on a semi nice outfit, some makeup, perfume. You were dressed fairly casual but still looked put together.
You hadn’t heard from Jeongin all day, but he always kept his promises. He said tonight so he would be there tonight. Your text notification went off. It must be him saying he’s on his way, you thought to yourself as you turned the screen of your phone on. It was Jeongin. You swiped and opened the message thread and your heart instantly shattered.  
‘I’m so sorry y/n, I got roped into a last-minute board meeting. I have to cancel tonight. I’ll call you later.’ He broke his promise, he never broke his promises. You sat there and cried for a good minute ignoring any other texts coming in from him, multiple apologies, but all of them went unread.
After you had cried more than you thought humanly possible you got up and headed out the door. You had to know who he was with, what was more important than his promise to you. You pulled up his location and saw that he was at a fairly fancy restaurant. You got in your car and drove in that direction. You just wanted to see inside you weren’t going to actually go in, you told yourself. Just look in the window, see who he’s with, and leave. 
You pulled up to the restaurant and had a clear view through the window from the spot you parked in. Was this absolutely unhinged behavior? Definitely. Could you control yourself at that point? No sir. You should have never gone there because when you got your glimpse through the window you saw Jeongin and that same woman at a table alone.
You should not have been there because it didn’t take you much convincing for you to decide you would go inside, not up to the table, but just inside. Maybe you’d be able to hear what they were talking about. You turned the car off and walked into the restaurant heading for the bar.
The closer you got to the bar the closer you got to their table and suddenly your feet weren’t taking you to the bar at all. Suddenly you were standing right in front of Jeongin and the woman’s table. Tears in your eyes. When he looked up and saw it was you, he was shocked. You looked so upset. 
“Baby... what... what are you doing here?” You shook your head and the tears that had gathered fell. 
“What are you doing here Jeongin? Who is she?” He ran his hand through his hair and let out an exasperated sigh. He realized what that must look like. 
“Who is she I.N!” He looked up at you. The jig was up. He had to tell you the truth now. 
“y/n this is my realtor, Mary Cho. Mary this is my beautiful girlfriend I was telling you about.” She smiled and extended her hand to you. 
“Also known as his aunt, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Young Jeongin here can’t say enough wonderful things about you.” Just then another man dressed to the nines walked up. His hand came to rest on Mary’s shoulder, and he smiled at you. 
“Who’s this?” He asked and Mary was quick to answer. 
“This is little Innie’s girlfriend y/n, y/n this is my husband, partner, and IN’s uncle, Trevor.” The man’s smile grew as he too held his hand out to shake. 
“Oh well then congratulations are in order...” You looked at him confused and his wife gently nudged him, giving him one of those looks that people who have been married a long time pick up on. He zipped his lips. 
“We’ll let you kids have some time to yourselves, enjoy dinner on us tonight okay Jeonginnie.” She leaned down and kissed the top of his head. He rolled his eyes and his cheeks got red from embarrassment. 
“Thank you Aunt Mary, for everything.” She nodded, handed him some keys, gave you a wink and then her and her husband both left, leaving you standing there dumbfounded in front of your boyfriend. 
“Are you going to sit?” You snapped out of your trance with his question, and you sat down. 
“What’s going on y/n? Why are you here?” You wiped tears from your cheeks. 
“Why didn’t you just tell me you were having dinner with your aunt and uncle? You said you were in a board meeting.” You didn’t understand why he would lie about that, or why he needed a realtor. Was he moving away? 
“Are you leaving me?” You asked quietly. 
“Wait what?! Am I- “ You were so scared to lose him.  
“Please don’t leave me...I... I...” You softly sobbed into your hands. Jeongin felt awful. He’d been acting strangely, he knew that, but he didn’t know it was affecting you like this. Then he remembered the nightmares you’d been having recently. You calling for him crying. This was clearly an issue before this week and all he’d done was fuel the fire with his ‘plan’. He had been so busy, still, how could he not see you spiraling.  
“NO! No Jagiya I’m not going anywhere I’m not leaving you I love you y/n always. Me and you, always are you listening to me?” He knelt down beside you and cupped your cheek making you look him in the eyes. 
“Always.” He had tears now. You looked down at him and pushed his hair away from his face. 
“What did you need a realtor for though?” He ran his hand through his fluffy hair again.  
“I just got these so why don’t I just show you?” He held up the keys his aunt had given him before leaving. He led you out of the restaurant and towards his car. 
“Wait I drove-” He opened the passenger door. 
“It’s okay we’ll come back for it.” You nodded and got into the car. Jeongin slid into the driver’s seat and once you were both buckled up you were off. It wasn’t too long before you were pulling up to the parking garage of a gorgeous high rise. Jeongin stopped and punched in a code making the yellow and black striped arm raise, allowing you into the garage. 
“Innie where are we?” He smirked and he had those sly foxy eyes. 
“You’ll see, just be patient love.” Just ahead were two parking spots with the same number painted on them. One, six, seven, zero. Jeongin pulled into one of the spots and turned off the car. 
“In...” He tutted at your second attempt for an answer. 
“In due time, follow me beautiful.” He got out of the car and walked towards a heavy-looking gray door. You got out of the car and followed him. He led you onto an elevator and hit the number sixteen. The doors closed and the elevator made its way up. Jeongin grabbed your hand and gently squeezed it as you waited for it to stop at the selected floor. You looked at your hands and then him and he smiled at you which made you smile in turn.
When the elevator stopped and opened Jeongin led you to the right down to a door that read seven zero. Sixteenth floor suite seven zero. Jeongin unlocked the door and swung it open motioning for you to enter. You stepped into the dark apartment and when Jeongin hit the lights you couldn’t believe your eyes. 
It was the most gorgeous condo overlooking the city. It had hard wood floors and a big open layout. You turned to Jeongin. 
“You’re renting a condo?” He shook his head. 
“No, we own a condo.” You turned and looked at him surprised. 
“We?” He smiled and nodded as he walked towards you. He wrapped you in his arms and hugged you close kissing the side of your head. 
“We spend all of our time together anyway. What do you say? Will you move in with me?” You threw your arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. You had been so wrong; you were convinced he was going to leave you when in fact he was buying a place for you two to live together the whole time. You quietly cried on his shoulder and when he pulled away, he saw your tears. 
“Why are you crying baby?” You choked out a laugh at yourself.  
“Because I allowed myself to think the worst and you were trying so hard to build something for us. I’m so sorry Innie.” He hugged you tightly again. 
“Don’t be sorry love, I was acting strange and in the past...” You interrupted him. 
“The past wasn’t you though IN, those were other people who had wronged me, never you so I shouldn’t have ever thought you would do something like that to me. I try so hard to not let my past spread into our relationship I try Innie...” He shushed you and you buried your face in his chest and took a deep breath inhaling the scent of his cologne and that smell that was just Jeongin. 
You calmed back down and Jeongin tilted your chin up and kissed you softly. You pulled him in closer and deepened the kiss. His hands that had been resting on your full hips were now grabbing your ass as he started to pepper kisses down your jaw and neck. 
“So fucking beautiful.” He whispered against your skin. 
“So beautiful and all mine.” He sucked a mark under your collarbone. 
“What do you say we break this place in the right way jagi?” You looked at him and he cocked his eyebrow and smirked. You grabbed his face and pulled him in for a bruising kiss. He backed you up against one of the living room walls, kissing, biting, his hands roaming all over your soft supple body. He wasted no time pulling up your skirt and sliding your panties to the side sliding his fingers inside you. 
“Innie, mmm, fuck me please baby.” He gave you that sly smile of his. He loved how he could make you melt, on his tongue, his fingers, his dick. He kissed you again as he pumped his fingers into you deeper. 
“Now beautiful you know I’ve got to stretch you a little so you can take my cock yea?” He hit that sweet spot with the tips of his strong fingers, and you let out a whimper. 
“Does that feel good jagiya?” He pushed his fingers deeper and once he’d found that point, he pumped his fingers into you quicker. Your chest was rising and falling quickly as you were edged closer to your orgasm. 
“Cum for me pretty, cum on my fingers.” He kissed you and you came undone. Luckily Jeongin was holding on to you because your knees went weak, and your legs became wobbly as he finger fucked you. 
“In-Innie oh my god yes! Fuck!” You couldn’t control your hips as they rode Jeongin’s fingers through your orgasm. He pulled his fingers out of you and sucked on them as he eyed you like prey. You were still breathing heavy coming down when Jeongin knelt in front of you put his head under your skirt and drug his tongue through your folds making you twitch and squirm. 
“Fuck you’re so beautiful, my goddess, I won’t ever stop telling you how gorgeous you are, and you taste so good.” He licked you again and this time started sucking gently on your clit. Both of your hands gripped his hair as he buried his face in between your legs and started to eat you out with enthusiasm. 
“Don’t... don’t stop Innie, mmmm please, don’t stop.” He hummed and continued to make out with your sex as you writhed and squirmed against the wall. You could feel your next orgasm creeping up on you. Jeongin hooked one of your legs over his shoulder and gripped your ass with one hand while he slid his fingers inside you again making you moan out, which only egged him on further. Jeongin got lost in the moment and devoured you like a starved man until you were screaming his name and coming. 
“INNIE OH GOD INNIE! YES! Fuck! Oh my god!” Your legs shook as you came on his tongue. The sounds you made, the look on your face when you came, it drove Jeongin crazy. He stood back up quickly dropped his pants and boxers, hiked one of your legs around his waist, gripping your thick thigh and slowly started to push into you as you still came back from your last mind-blowing orgasm.
You both moaned out when Jeongin was deep inside you. He stayed there for a minute, his head resting against your chest. You ran your hands through his hair tilting his head up towards you and kissed him softly. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders, and he held you against the wall as you both made out, Jeongin’s cock still buried in you. You whispered as he continued to kiss you down your neck. 
“Please baby, need you. Want you to fuck me hard against this wall.” He looked at you with his narrow fox eyes, almost black they appeared so dark. You immediately got what you asked for. Jeongin started rolling his hips into yours, his pace gradually building until he was pounding into you. 
“Fuck! Beautiful just... Fuck! Does my goddess like it when I fuck her like a slut?” You clenched around his cock.  
“Yes, fuck yes! Want you to talk to me like I’m your princess but fuck me like I’m your whore.” Jeongin almost came right then. He gave you a few more hard thrusts and then pulled out. He quickly spun you around before you could complain. He pulled your ass back and nudged your legs further apart. He gently pushed you against the wall and you braced yourself with your hands as you bent over for him. He pushed your skirt up over your full ass and squeezed. 
“This ass, god damn beautiful...” He rubbed circles with his palms on your ass cheeks and then *smack* He spanked one hard making you jump and moan. 
“This ass is just asks to be spanked.” He landed another on the opposite ass cheek. This time you clenched around nothing and whined. 
“Innie...” You wiggled your ass at him, and his dick twitched in his hand. His free hand came up and spanked you a little harder, then he massaged the handprint while he pushed his thick cock inside you. 
“So fucking tight, so wet, you like it when I spank you beautiful.” He lifted his hand and gave your ass another little slap and you pushed against him taking him deeper as you clenched around him. It was like a switch was flipped, he gripped your squishy hips tightly and started fucking you deeper and deeper. 
“It’s so big Innie, fuck, feels so good! Harder, fuck me harder.” Jeongin started to snap his hips into your ass, everything jiggled, and you were pushed against the wall more with each thrust. He spanked you again. 
“Who’s fucking you good gorgeous? Hm? Whose big cock are you taking? Speak up.” You moaned 
“Yours, yo-yours In-Innie, fuck harder!” He pulled you off the wall and wrapped his arms around you, holding you with your back against his chest, as close as possible while he fucked you deeper than ever before. 
“Harder? I’ll give it to you harder jagi.” He was so deep inside you. He didn’t fuck you fast, no, he fucked you deep and hard.  
“Je-Jeongin, fuck... fuck... I’m gonna cum baby I’m gonna cum.” You were breathless, covered in a sheen of sweat. One of Jeongin’s hands gently gripped your chin and turned your face towards him. He kissed you so sweetly while he buried his big cock deeper inside you. He whispered against your lips.  
“Then cum for me beautiful cum for me.” He pushed deep and hard inside you a few more times and you were losing it on his cock. 
“Yes yes yes oh fuck oh fuck Innie fuck keep going hard!” He kept fucking you hard through your orgasm until he came inside you. 
“Oh-Oh go-fuck, take it, fucking take it all.” When Jeongin pulled out of you his cum started to run down the inside of your thighs. He swiped some of it up with two fingers and brought them to your mouth as you turned to face him. You sucked his fingers clean and then ran your fingers through his cum and sucked it off your own fingers as well. Jeongin kissed you. It was gentle but passionate. Your arms were wrapped around each other as you both caught your breath. You always felt so safe and warm in Jeongin’s arms.
Standing there in that condo, even though it was totally empty, you knew, you could already feel, you were home. You were home because Jeongin was there and anywhere he was, was home to you. You ran your hand down his face over his sharp cheek bone and cupped his strong jaw looking into his deep brown eyes that were much softer than before. 
“I love you Innie.” He looked at you and smiled his big smile that made his eyes scrunch up. 
“I love you too jagiya.” He kissed your lips softly again then your cheek then he nibbled at your ear making goosebumps rise all over your body. Then he pressed his lips to your ear and whispered. 
“Maybe we should break in the bedroom too.”  
You and Jeongin sat on a loveseat next to each other with the rest of the guys all scattered on other furniture around your living room. They may be friends from someone looking outside in but to you there were family and the first people you wanted to tell. You were a little nervous and a lot excited. Jeongin was excited too, but he was scared of what the guys might think or say, especially Chan. You could feel the nervous energy radiating from him. You grabbed his hand and squeezed gently before clearing your throat to get everyone’s attention. 
“Innie and I have asked you all here for a reason of course. We have an announcement to make.” All of the guys eyed each other and then looked at the two of you sitting there. 
“Well, go on then.” Chan had picked up on Jeongin’s nervous energy too. He was worried something was really wrong. Why else would they call everyone here like this, what if one of you was sick, or worse! Chan’s thoughts were spiraling to worst case scenarios when you spoke up again. 
“IN and I eloped.” Everyone’s jaw dropped and Chan felt a wave of relief.  
“Oh thank god.” He said with his hand over his heart. You suddenly started to get bombarded by questions from the rest of the guys. Most of which were the same questions. 
“Guys guys guys! Quiet down and let her finish for god’s sake.” Chan yelled over the loud group. 
“Go ahead guys.” You nodded and continued. 
“Thanks Channie. Yes, we eloped. We knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives and we didn’t want to wait another minute. So, we went to the justice of the peace today and got married.” The guys all started to get up to hug and congratulate you but Jeongin stopped them. 
“That’s not all. This next part I tell you and you have to promise you will do what I ask.” All of the guys started to protest.  
“It’s not fair to make us promise to something we have no idea about!” Felix spoke up but Jeongin wasn’t budging on this stipulation so all of the guys agreed whatever Jeongin asked of them they would do. 
“Okay, you can’t call me baby bread anymore.” The protesting started again, louder than before, even Chan started in. Jeongin yelled over the guys. 
“You can’t call me baby bread anymore because I’m not gonna be the baby anymore...” All of the guys shut up instantly and looked at the two of you speechless, which didn’t happen often. 
“Wait what?” Chan asked shocked unsure if you guys were saying what he thought you were saying.  
“I said you can’t call me baby bread because there’s gonna be a new baby bread.” You smiled at Jeongin when he rubbed your tummy. You turned to Chan who was still gob smacked. 
“I’m pregnant, almost three months. It's another reason we decided it was best to get married sooner than later.” Everyone sat there still unable to speak they were so shocked. 
“We know it wasn’t planned but we’re excited, and we wanted to tell you guys first!” All of the guys jumped up and started to hug you both, congratulating you on your nuptials and the baby. Chan’s eyes were rimmed with tears as he watched, filled with pride that his baby bread was a man now, married with a baby bread of his own on the way. 
“Wait a minute!” Jisung got everyone’s attention and you turned to him. 
“What is it Sungie?” You asked confused by his sudden outburst. 
“So your pregnant with the new baby bread?” You giggled and shook your head. 
“Yes Ji that’s correct.” He nodded rubbing his chin as if deep in thought. 
@acciocriativity @caroline-ds-world @chansynie @ughbehavior @jquellen27 @hyunelixies @fixation-dump @lachinitaaaaa @rinrinndou @bangchans-angel @laylasbunbunny @owo-manii-uwu @armystay89 @b00dyguts @purplenimsicle
“Well that means you have a bun in the oven!” You and Jisung burst out laughing and the guys groaned at his terrible joke. Everyone got updated on the rest of the details of your wedding and finding out about the baby and you sat there holding Jeongin’s hand filled with joy that your little family was growing.

this episode was so pretty and christmassy im kinda happy they let it out right now and not at actual christmas time ssjsj i feel like it feels right :') and it was snowing like crazy today anyways so it was the perfect mood
suuuch warm vibes and the night and day forgiveness ark?? it happened so soon and in such a simple way my heartstrings were pulled quite a lot also this is the first show where i've watched mark play a bigger role and he is a very very talanted young actor i now understand why everyone was praising him ever since he showed up😭 ngl might have shed some tears in his scenes on the train
and also is the Day possibly getting his eyesight back even worth getting hopes up? I feel like since its episode 11 (cough cursed one) it might not go as planned but honestly even if it doesnt i think day still can and will have his happy ending with mhok by his side he already felt content with his condition as of episode 9 end and this just adds a bit of painful glimpses of hope that will hurt if its not successful even if the chances were small in the first place :( i just really dont wanna see day being so sad again he's been through so much already but we'll see how it goes
And porjainight shippers this has truly been a win for yall 😌👏🏻

Me while watching Last Twilight Ep. 3:
I swear if P'Aof makes me cry (again) in this episode, I might send him my health insurance bills for the things he's doing (done) on my mental health 😂
1. Of course, the scene starts with a promotion of the upcoming merch 😅 I see you, GMMTV. You're making me want them too 😅😅😅😅 Also, Mhok and Day are acting like they are life-long friends now. Day is just adorable. I can see why Mhok has the urge to just scoop him up 🤭🤭🤭
2. To channel @dribs-and-drabbles' energy, I think Mhok's "Fitness Leader" is very apt for this scene as he tries to help Day to improve his other senses in order to enjoy and live his life despite his disability. 😭 Also, I wonder what Mhok saw in Day's phone? 🤔🤔🤔
3. Look at Day, Mum and Night 😭😭😭 Babying him was just doing Day a disservice. Maybe that's why he was so angry during the first episode. <after five seconds> Gods damn. You should have at least let him eat first 😭😭😭
4. Oh, so it was Mhok who broke up with Porjai? Also, I'm not liking the new bf. Why is she the one saving up for the wedding? Where's my girl, Gee (Film) at? 😅
5. Ah, this is what I was talking about last ep. It seems nobody knows aside from Day's family (and Mhok) that he is essentially blind. Why did the family kept it a secret though??? It would mean Day will never be able to show his face to the public. That's just wild. <after five seconds> Oh my gods, I am crying again. Damn you, kind chancellor of Day's uni admissions 😭😭😭
6. Sidenote: I know this series is not based on any existing novel, but damn. Looking for a book in which Day and Mhok are supposed to be the main characters is (as always) so meta of P'Aof 😂 Also, ngl, that's some effective product promotion they got there - even a blind man can smell and taste the difference 😂😂😂
7. Ooof. Mhok is definitely feeling something already 😳 The man is actively blushing. He is probably grateful that Day cannot see him.
8. That's awfully sweet of Mhok to let Day find the book. Also, who the fvck tears off the last page of a book and sells it off to a second-hand shop? And a novel at that??? Heathens. 🤬
9. Ah, I knew Porjai's new bf cannot be trusted. But also, Mhok, you forgot something important. Day is in trouble 😭😭😭 This is like the "incident" all over again.
10. Oh, my god. The hot pink shirt has healing powers 😭😭😭😭 If not for the ridiculousness of that shirt's colour (and Mhok's mustache), I might have cried again 😅😅😅
11. Mum, don't make me hate you. Mhok was the only person who treated Day decently and has not babied him to the extent that he cannot even come down to the dinner table to eat. The fvck. 🤬
12. Wait, Mhok, now that Day is okay, you need to tell Porjai about her two-timing boyfriend. 🤬
I don't get it - why did Day looked so shooked when Mhok said "good night"? Isn't it a standard greeting? Also, based on the preview, Porjai asking Day the right questions 😂😂 And my girl, Gee, confirming to Day that Mhok is indeed "hot" LOL I kennat 😂😂😂

time for Thoughts™️
I will always rant about every member of the disaster lineage but I just got very very especially sad about Dooku and Qui-Gon. 
how did I not realise how late he left the Order??? I always thought it was idk, some time earlier than the Phantom Menace but this is just. they really went for the peak angst potential didn’t they
we now know what happened to Yaddle, but at what cost…
As always, fuck Sheev. look what he did. he took a bunch of perfectly good light-siders and fucked them up is what he did.
SNIPS AND SKYGUY ARE BACK Y’ALL IM SOBBING I MISSED THEM SO MUCH
I feel like Anakin really does Not know how to Handle Child at the time of that first training montage. he does his best to be a good teacher and train her the best he can but I definitely got scary chills watching him say “again” so many times in a progressively darker tone
I’m fine I’m just crying over how all that training, no matter Anakin’s downfalls, saved Ahsoka’s life in the end
Rex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my first reaction to Rex mentioning Jesse was basically just “oh hey it’s my dude!!!” and then I realised that Anakin and Jesse both trained Ahsoka in ways that she then used to survive their attempts of trying to kill her and now I’m not okay
that handful of Obi-Wan scenes was a nice bonus
Caleb getting all excited about Ahsoka doing the droid training exercise he’s so precious-
The funeral.
no because the fact that Ahsoka would have been chased down and possibly killed by the Empire if they found out she was still alive but she went to Padmé’s funeral anyway to pay her respects because Padmé was so important to her-
“She was my friend” feelings. so many feelings. i cried here.
Rex sticking with Ahsoka until after the funeral makes me have a lot of emotions and a lot of thoughts; iirc we don’t actually know how long they were together after the Tribunal crash before they split ways
SO LUCASFILM IF YOU COULD JUST NOT TEAR MY HEART OUT FOR ONE KRIFFING SECOND THAT WOULD BE GREAT
*insert that one textpost that was like [me every second Bail Organa was on screen] ‘that’s Bail Organa’*
anyone else feel a little iffy about the whole “we have a duty thing” he was saying to Ahsoka? maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention, but it felt a little to me like he meant she had to/was obligated to join the Rebellion. it doesn’t seem very in sync with Bail in general, but if someone has a different interpretation that makes more sense, please share with me.
the only other thing is I’m just confused and a little irritated about the section with the farmers and the Inquisitor. like, when in the timeline exactly did that whole encounter take place? and if they wanted to show a storyline like that, why didn’t they just animate some key moments from the Ahsoka novel? I feel like it sort of gives it more weight in a way to have Ahsoka’s big return to the good fight and the Rebellion set two years after the end of the war, and given how similar the setups are, I have to say I would have much rather had at least some scenes from the book in animation than a whole new separate thing that kind of replaces it.
me when the girl’s brother went to tattle to the Empire: every town’s got a Timm 😔
ngl I really thought she might be Kaeden at first but it wasn’t too bad I suppose.
especially since I will never, and I mean never, get sick of watching Ahsoka kick Inquisitor ass
all I want to do is wrap all my faves up in a blanket and hug them very tight yk
in conclusion: I am just screaming. so hard right now.

Wednesday is here again, we all know what it means…
Absolute Zero Day!
Last week left us with Suansoon realizing how big of an impact him being in his own past might have on his future, while teen Ongsa was diving head first into his crush on Soon.
- Those tickets are dated March 5th, which means there are only 9 days between Suansoon and Ongsa’s first meeting and Soon’s birthday/Ongsa asking him out.
- Immediately feeling crushed by Suansoon's breakdown looking at that picture of him and Ongsa.
- I really like Ongsa’s little friend group. They are adorable, supportive, they feel like teens. The little documentary of the show said they were new characters created for the show (if I’m not mistaken), and I think it’s a good addition. It’s good to see him interact with peers and it emphasizes the contrast with Suansoon’s grief-fueled loneliness.
- I, too, would preen in delight if Sine complimented me, I feel you Soon. So she was just kindly housing him while he found his footing? Incredibly generous … but at least we now know where the money for Suansoon’s rent is going to come from.
- Soon saying that Ongsa’s doesn’t like coffee that much right after we see Ongsa discuss the fact that he doesn’t know anything about Soon? Loved it. Very efficient way to remind us where they both stand in their respective timeline.
- Oooh our first real big slip about time travel! Also it does something to me that he mentions the last movie he watched with adult!Ongsa ngl.
- I checked what the “My girl” (แฟนฉัน) movie was about and … well. Fitting, it seems. It follows themes of memories and nostalgia that blend perfectly with the show.
- AH YES!! I loved how, in episode 1, every time we see them watching a movie, Suansoon looks at the screen and Ongsa looks at Suansoon so you BET I noticed how this time, Suansoon is the one looking at teen!Ongsa watching the screen. I live for parallels.
- Oh, the way Soon panics and rushes away to hide when Ongsa’s parents come visit broke my heart a little. And the “we will meet eventually”?? he gained a full family when he got with Ongsa, uh...
- Okay that cut from teen!Ongsa laughing as he leans into his mother to her asleep at his hospital bed? Brutal, painful, sad. Please don’t do this to me again (I say knowing full well that’s what I signed up for)
- “You’re missing someone and that person isn’t me.” Oh boy… I like how forward Ongsa is. Like, couldn’t be me but he knows what he wants and he will reach for it. I am quietly impressed by that.
- I also liked the little ring scene, I may read too much into it but… the ring didn’t fit just like the way teen!Ongsa liking him does not fit adult!Suansoon. Still, it finds its place with Soon's bracelet, with that memory of their teenage love. Because that's what all of it is for adult!Soon, in the end. An extended sort of memory, and he finds comfort in it, of course, there is a lot to cherish here, but ultimately that's not what he really wants.
- Unsurprisingly loved the shoot with Ongsa’s hands holding the two tickets as evidence of Soon’s rejection, calling back directly to last week ending shot. Did I say I like parallels?
- “I won’t apologize, because I did it on purpose.” I was taken by surprise ngl. Tho i felt for Soon because like... Ongsa is kissing him, except it's not the Ongsa he loves right now, not like this, but it's still him. Also, that tear when he doesn't push him away for the second kiss? b y e
- That final scene had me googling smartphone apparition and distribution because I can't for the life of me date their widespread distribution - so as comparison point, the iPhone came out late June 2007 in the US (about 8 months before the show) so I do assume that specific kind of smartphone is unusual enough to justify their reactions.
Unsure of where we're being taken next week but I will be there.
I still really like Suansoon. Do I think he should have removed himself sooner/more seriously to protect what he had? Yeah, sure. But I'm not the one working through time traveling, and the grief he is carrying. I can understand that it's hard to refuse the obvious comfort he gets from spending time with teen!Ongsa, and that he gets touched and nostalgic when the boy gets all cute with him. Also I said it last week but I am just delighted by Teng Kanist and the melancholic softness he plays. Just works for me, hooks my heart and I'd forgive everything.
I still don’t think the video shop grandpa is aware of what is happening with Soon and time travel, but I do like that in the preview we see Soon still seeking him for help because it seems like it’s something he did for a long time (in ep.1 already he was saying the man had been here for all his important moments).
That said, at this point I brought my ticket for the “teen!Ongsa knew who teen!Suansoon was/would become when he meets him at the cinema” train. That would explain the tears at the lake, why he would keep going to the movies hoping to see him, and how deep the feeling seems to run when he tells him that he misses him when they meet in the video shop. Now my question is, in that case, how would that fit into their present life? Does it mean that adult!Ongsa has always been aware of his lover traveling back in time? How much is Suansoon going to tell him, is he going to be aware that he’ll get caught in a life threatening accident?? (Is that why he looked SO sad when they watched the movie the day before the accident??)
Now to be patient until next Wednesday ...

He’s an asshole but he’s MY asshole (V)
A/N: ngl i cried writing the beginning of this, rewatching the season for this series has been rlly fun (except for the scene where Fei dies rip my queen), OH MY GOD DONT USE THE SCHEDULE THING BC THEN THE TAGS DONT WORK!!!
Taglist at the bottom, feel free to ask to be tagged in upcoming parts!
Warnings: ANGST, girlie u are going THROUGH it, Reggie’s a douche, more angst, y’all almost break up, reader is said to wear a dress but its only a passing comment, drinking, swearing, eating, five might be ooc bc i havent written for him in so long, smoking, sex implications
Word Count: 4.2k
Part 1  Part 2  Part 3  Part 4 Part 6  Part 7
     Laying on the pool table yet again in the Hotel Obsidian after your brother and other sister died. Can't seem to fucking escape this place. It's like Hotel California. Great now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head. Laying on your back, head against the lip of the pool table, you admire the necklace Fei had got you when you were a teenager. Yours had said ‘Best’ while theirs said ‘Friends’. Originally they were black with white lettering but due to time, they had faded to a bronze color with black lettering from the years of filling them in with sharpie. Tearing up you curl into a ball and start to sob. My fucking family is dead, my fucking best friend is dead. Now in the fetal position, you full-body sob, not caring if anyone sees. 
     Ignoring the ongoing argument in the other room, you go to the buffet trying to find something small to snack on, finding an apple. Using your knife you peel and slice the apple, cutting it into little cubes. The thought of cubes breaks you again, dropping your knife on the floor and dropping to your knees. I want my family back, I want my fucking family, I NEED them. I need Alphonso’s shitty jokes, I need Jayme’s daily existential dread talk, I need Chris’ happy disposition, I need Fei. Sobbing you slide down the wall silently munching on the apple cubes. After a cry sesh, your arms fall to your sides, brushing the matted-down carpet. Looking forward all emotions drained out of you, feeling empty. Deciding to see what the other idiots are up to you head back toward the balcony.
     Before walking into the room you hear Ben and Diego arguing. Leaning on the column you watch them argue, numb. “Hey, you guys done? The universe is disappearing outside. So you can keep rearranging the deck chairs of the Titanic if it makes you feel better. But the fact remains that we are too late,” Five says. “Come on, Five,” “It's over Luther, we failed.” “Come on. It cant be over over,” Viktor says. “Yeah, come on, Five. We gotta figure this out, man,” Diego insists. “Okay. How about we take a step back? Look at the big picture here. Most of us have spent the last 28 days trying to stop the world from ending. What exactly have we accomplished?” The room goes silent, the Umbrella’s reflecting on their past 28 days. 28 days ago I wasn't in this shithole and had all my siblings. Walking from your column you stand next to Ben, his arms wrapping instinctively around you. Normally, this would make you smile but not now, not after half of your family died. “Well, we made some friends along the way,” Luther says positively. “Incorrect! You know what we’ve done? Nothing. We made things worse every single time,” Five corrects Luther. Leaning closer to Ben your head leans against his bicep sighing. “Don't save the world.”
     “Well, on that…super happy note, we’ve um--oh, what the hell,” Luther says as both he and Sloane stand. “We’ve got a little announcement to make,” “We’re engaged!” they say in unison. “Kill me, Jesus,” Ben mutters making you smile for the first time. Taking the flask out of his hand you take a long drink before giving it back. “Now?” Allison asks. “Yeah. Look, we realize the timing is less than ideal. But, obviously, it's now or never. Am I right, Five?” “Don’t drag me into this, please,” Five says while looking away. “What…Whatever time we have left, we wanna spend it with all of you. So we’re super pumped if you would join us in the banquet hall at 6:00 p.m. for a celebration of our love, and the official union of what's left of our two great families,” Sloane explains. “Dress code is creative black tie.”
     Sloane goes around handing out their wedding invitations when Reggie and Klaus return after being gone for days. Klaus explains that they were tangled up in a father-son end-of-the-world road trip. Klaus’ long explanation ends with him saying that he’s now immortal. Huh, so that's what Diego was talking about. After accusing Klaus of getting into bath salts, Reginald asks why we’re playing with jars. “They’re invitations. Luther and I are getting married,” Sloane says to Reggie. “If he goes to their wedding I'm gonna be even more pissed off,” Ben whispers to you. Ah, your wedding was a magical time full of arguing and absent fathers. Sloane hands him an invitation before Luther tells him space is limited and taking it back. Ben picks your invitation up and looks at it, “Ours were better,” he jokes. “Well I mean it's not like they have marketable powers like us,” you continue joking. 
     “Dad, have you been taking your pills?” Sloane asks. “As a matter of fact, I haven't. And I can confirm that I’ve never felt better in my life. You thought you could dope me up and slow me down, take control of my affairs and squander my fortune,” Reginald says, looking directly at you. He’s always hated me, accusing me of only being with Ben to get a hold of his money, the feelings mutual. “Well, Klaus here was good enough to wean me off that wretched poison, and now that the fog is lifting I can see all your dastardly designs with a bracing clarity.” “You took him off his meds? What were you thinking?” Sloane asks upset. Reginald is then sent into another spiel about how he's the only one thinking and then calls him an impressive young man, causing Diego to laugh. “As for the rest of you, your training is to resume post-haste,” Thank fuck some normalcy in your last couple of days. Ben and you quickly tell him that you're ready. You can tell he’s been waiting for this, to go on a big grandiose mission since the last huge mission was years ago. 
     Five and Reginald start going back and forth; Five mentions that he talked to Pogo. God, I can't remember the last time I saw him let alone heard his name, I miss him. “Nobody wants you here, Dad,” Luther tells Reginald. “Hey, you don't speak for everyone, big guy,” Ben replies holding your entwined hands up. I don't even wanna be around him, he’s done nothing but make Ben and me feel like shit. I mean he didn't even come to our wedding when it was at his own house! “Feel free to join him.” Before Reggie can continue with another one of his long tirades, Klaus interrupts taking him to ‘have a cup of tea’ in his suite. Diego leaves as Lila quickly follows him; Sloane then leaves presumably to go see what’s up with Reggie, leaving you, Ben, and the Umbrella’s alone.
     Walking past Luther and Viktor, Ben holding your hand and pulling you along with him, he overhears Luther mentioning his bachelor party and how “not everyone is invited.” “What was that?” Ben stops making the three of you look at him. “Nothing man, nothing,” Luther shrugs off with a quiet chuckle and smile. Ben quickly continues with you in tow, walking even faster than before. Getting to what you have claimed as your room Ben flops on the bed and sighs deeply. Flopping down next to him you ask “Is everything alright? You’ve been pouting since we left.” Ignoring you and rolling on his side away from you, staring at the wall. “Well, when you want to tell me I’ll be open, not gonna force it out of you,” you say walking towards the door baiting him to say what’s wrong. “Okay fine you pried it out of me,” he says with his usual dramatic flair, rolling onto his back, and staring at the ceiling. “It’s just…why wasn't I invited to the bachelor party?” he asks, completely serious. “Babe, are you joking?” you ask smiling thinking it’s just another one of his pranks. “No, why would I be joking?” he says turning and looking at you now sitting on the bed. “Well I mean you’ve been an asshole to them the entire time they’ve been here,” you tell him. “Listen, I’m gonna find Sloane and see if she needs anything before we get ready.” 
    Walking to what you remember is Sloane and Luther’s room, you start reflecting on Ben’s actions. Being that you were the only person that truly got to see who Ben was or wanted to be. For everyone (and even sometimes you) he wears a mask of a confident, arrogant leader but in those times when his mask slips you can truly see him. An affection-starved man craving any and all affection and recognition he can get. A man that just wants to be loved and seen by his father. Someone who has played a character so long that he himself doesn't know who he is. Finally, you made it to their room, knocking to the tune of ‘Shave and a Haircut.’ You can hear Sloane yell to come in, walking in you see her sitting in a chair hemming a dress. “Need any help?” you offer secretly hoping that she would say no. “Um, not at the moment but thank you,” she smiles. “You know I can't even believe it,” she confesses. “What the wedding or the end of the world?” “Oh shut up, you know what I meant. I just can’t believe I’m getting married,” she says smiling down at her dress. “I mean I always thought and dreamt of this day and now it’s finally here. Did you feel like this?” Sloane asks looking up at you like a little kid asking for their mom’s advice. “Well truth be told no, but that’s just because Ben and I aren't romantics, unlike you and Luther,” you say playfully rolling your eyes at the last part.
     “So it’s official. My ears are broken and the idiot with knives really can’t sing,” Ben says barging in on you and Sloane’s alone time, the first part making Sloane jump at his sudden appearance. “Diego. You know his name is Diego.” Caught in the middle yet again. “Maybe you should try and be nice to him and the others,” Sloane says running out of patience for Ben. “And why would I do that?” “As much as I’d love to work through your anger issues right now, I have to get back to this. The wedding is in an hour,” she exasperatedly said, patience wearing thinner by the moment. “Fei is dead,” Ben says, reminding you about half of your family being dead and you soon too. “Yeah. I know. And so are the others.” “Oh, so that's it? You’re just gonna turn your back on the Sparrow Academy? I mean you heard Dad. we have training to do. Something big is about to go down.” “Ben, shut up,” you jump in, defending Sloane. “I wish you were talking about my wedding,” Sloane says sadly. “Okay, Sloane listen to me--” “No. You listen to me. I’m sorry they didn't invite you to the bachelor party,” Sloane says ever the nicest person in the room. “I don't…I don't care about that.” “yes, you do,” you and Sloane say in sync. “You care more about being invited to the bachelor party than Fei or the others or even saving the world.” “That's--that's... That's crazy,” Ben says chuckling awkwardly and looking at the ceiling before putting the mask back on and going back to his serious leader act. 
     “Is it? The three of us have never been alone. It's always been the eight of us. Now it’s just you,” Sloane says, Ben scoffing at her. “So congratulations, Ben. you're finally number one of one.” Ben looks at you incredulously, “So you’re not a Sparrow anymore?” “Why would I wanna be one?” you say about to cry for the millionth time today. Ben’s face drops for a second, looking you directly in the eyes, sadness written all over his face. “You don't mean that,” he says quiet enough that Sloane can’t hear. “Maybe I do,” looking at him tears in your eyes. “What’s so damn special about them anyway?” Ben resumes the conversation with Sloane. “They’re a real family. They don't exist to sell action figures and tote bags.” “We were more than that,” Ben tries to defend. “Were we?” No, we weren't. We were only a thing to deter crime (which didnt work) and sell merch. Hell, my own wedding had merch. “Why is it so important to you to be a Sparrow?” that's what pushes Ben to leave, quickly he walks out the door just before trying to grab your hand and pull you along unsuccessfully.
     Time for a wedding! Dressed all fancy in a black gown that you found in one of the abandoned hotel rooms. You haven't spoken to Ben in an hour and a half, only seeing him here for the first time in that hour and a half. “What’s the deal with them?” Klaus leans to Five and asks. “I have no idea, could be because we’re all gonna die,” Five says matter of factly. Standing next to Allison, Ben walks toward you, “You look…so fucking good,” Ben says hoping to make amends. “Thank you. You look good too,” you say smiling while taking a drink of your champagne easing yourself into your night of hard-drinking. Standing next to you Ben grabs your hand and starts playing with your fingers smiling. “Hey. I love you,” he whispers, leaning into your neck causing you to smirk. “Love you too,” you say now giving him a sip of your drink. After that Luther and Viktor arrive, “I don't know. Normally, my tush looks good,” Luther says walking out of the elevator with Viktor. As soon as they walk out Allison and Viktor are already quralling. Luther whispers something to the both of them before raising his voice, saying “Bah, bah, bah! My day! Two hours. Do you think you can manage that?” Viktor replies with a ‘fine.’ 
     The elevator bell rings and everyone faces toward to elevator. The seconds that it takes for the doors to open are painstakingly long, making you anxious and excited to see your sister. This was the day she would meticulously plan out when you two were in your teens, documenting everything she wanted in a large binder down to the lighting, and now it's finally here; albeit at the end of the world and planned over a night and a few hours. Looking at her you smile, “Let’s get this over with before I die of cringe,” Ben interrupts the beautiful scene of Luther seeing Sloane in her dress and the sweet moment the two of you were sharing.
      The marriage was ordained by Klaus who gave a very eventful but meaningful officiant speech. Sitting on the left side next to Ben, you interact whenever Klaus says something that warrants it, such as him yelling “Can I get an amen?” to which everyone except Ben makes noise. Glancing towards him he's pouting again. I’m not his fucking mom, I’m not gonna babysit him the entire night. I actually want to have a good last day. “I pronounce you married as shit! Viva la apocalypse!” Klaus yells as Sloane and Luther kiss, making the tiny crowd cheer. After watching Sloane and Luther have their first dance, you start looking at the food spread; the cookies and brownies catch your eye more than the other foods. After putting the food on your plate (and grabbing a bottle of vodka) you turn around to look where to sit. You could sit with Ben and Allison and have the joy sucked out of you or Diego and Lila and have to deal with their mushy love talk or you could sit with Five, someone who you haven't gotten to know yet. 
     Sitting down across from Five he looks up from his food and nods to acknowledge you. Looking back toward Allison and Ben; the latter staring at you. “So I take it things aren't going so good with Ben and you,” Five comments chowing down on a pastry on the table and taking a looong drink. “Rather not talk about that, right now I just wanna get as fucked up as possible,” you say smirking while sitting the bottle down on the table. “Okay, I have some questions,” you say watching as Five pours himself another drink. “Are you actually like a kid or is it some time-travel fuckery?” you ask the burning question that’s been on your mind since you saw him and Ben fighting. Five goes on to explain the first apocalypse and him being stuck there for 40 years and how he’s actually a 53-year-old man. “Huh. so you’re a little old man,” you say as Viktor sits down next to you.
     Getting up from your seat after talking with your new in-laws, bottle in hand you walk toward Ben’s table and flop down in the seat next to him, setting the bottle between you two. The elevator bell chimes making everyone look over and see Reginald walking in, making the room so silent, even the music. Reginald walks over and gets himself a plate and starts looking for a seat. “What is he doing here?” Ben asks rhetorically.  “But who invited him?” “just sit and suffer with me,” Allison says making you giggle. “I can’t even get invited to a bachelor party and he’s invited to this?” “Wow. you really can't relax,” Allison comments making you giggle again. “Y/n, are you okay?” she asks, making a confused face at you now laying your head on the table. “Oh my god, how are you already drunk?” Ben asks in disbelief. “Well you see, in my grief, I perhaps stumbled upon the open bar and perhaps may have started the celebrating earlier than the rest. I mean come on, we’re on the edge of oblivion and you people expect me not to day drink,” you say smirking “And! I’m not drunk yet.” Leaning on Ben’s shoulder, you watch how awkward the wedding has become, no one making eye contact with Reggie. The awkwardness is semi-broken by Lila and Diego, Lila wanting Diego to introduce them. Watching them was nice, Lila and Reginald actually had things in common and got to talking, impressing Diego.
     After the nice moment between Lila and Reginald, Allison had gotten up leaving you and a now pouting Ben alone. Ben and you had managed to drink almost half the bottle in addition to the numerous glasses of champagne. Now you both were laying your head on the table staring at each other, Ben laying on his plate of shrimp. Klaus soon made his rounds to your table; he had been doing this all night walking from table to table and person to person trying to convince them Reggie is good now. Guess it’s our turn. “Hey, Ben-ihana and lovely little eight,” Klaus starts. “Don't hit me!” he jokes sitting down at your table. “I know we all ain’t been best buds in this timeline or whatever, but man, do I have a mission for you--” Ben interrupts him by belching verrry loudly in his face making you giggle, still laying on the table. “Eleven people,” Ben says ominously making Klaus question. “There are only eleven people left,” “Ten and a half, I’m not all here at the moment,” you say making Klaus chuckle. “Okay. Drunk Ben clearly likes numbers and… shrimp,” Klaus says still trying to recover from Ben’s shrimp burp. 
     “And you couldn't even invite me to your stupid bachelor party.” “Oh. Have we finally flicked off bad Benny’s hard candy shell?” Klaus says rubbing his arm. “Why don't you like me? Or us?” Ben asks making you move next to his shoulder, cheek touching his jacket looking at Klaus. “Because you’re huge puckering assholes.” “Okay, but you like the other Ben and y/n,” Ben says annoyed and clearly sad. “Yeah, we love the other yous,” Klaus says with a hint of sadness. “Why? What’s so special about them?” “Because he was a know-it-all. He was a scold. He was a tiny dark cloud on a perfect sunny day,” Klaus laughs after that. “What about me? What was so special about the other me?” you ask now becoming increasingly curious and intrigued. “Oh my god, they were a pain. An emo with a preference for sulking and being pretentious in a corner. Know-it-all just like Benny,” Klaus explains about you, well the other you. “Those.. those are all bad things about us,” Ben says after looking down at his shrimp. “Yeah, and they looked great on you two.” “Okay, you know what? We are so much better than that other Ben and y/n. I was number one--” “Twice,” you interject. “And-and they ripped people’s throats out.” “Oh yeah, did that all the time in my timeline. Does Dad give a shit?” Klaus says before asking Ben. “No. he was busy hanging out with you” Ben whispers poking Klaus. “Oh, man, methinks you might be trying a little too hard. Look around. Nobody’s polishing their boots or pressing their tights. We’re a complete and total shit show. Ya get it? And our Ben and y/n, my Ben and y/n, were just that kind of disaster and it made them ridiculously easy to love,” Klaus says, sighing at the thought of his deceased siblings, before getting up to leave you two alone. 
     The speeches started after Klaus left and went back to Lila and Diego’s table. Reginald was first, talking about Sloane when she was little, calling Luther adequate, and talking about how he wishes that his shortcomings will be seen only as a rough patch. “I’m proud to call you my children, even those I raised in a revenant version of myself,” Reginald continues, glancing around the room before stopping on you, making you look toward Ben in disbelief. Holy shit, the man that wouldn't even acknowledge that Ben and I are married called me his child! Reggie’s speech continues and finally ends with a poem, Allison leaves making everyone look toward the walking woman. “Makes, no sense,” Ben says still eating his many shrimp as everyone starts applauding at Reginald’s newfound kindness. “All right! All right! Time to turn those frowns upside down. This one is for all my party people in the place,” the concierge turned now wedding D.J says, as everyone gets up and starts dancing on the dancefloor. 
     Dancing around with your new family and husband felt nice, it felt like it was just a normal wedding on a normal day. After all of the fast and upbeat songs played then started the slow songs. Arms wrapped around Ben’s neck while his arms around your waist the both of you sway drunkenly together. Looking up at him, you plant a small kiss on the end of his scar making him smile, and put his face into your neck and start kissing it. “Noooo, stop,” you say smiling and pushing him away jokingly. “No, come back here,” he says pulling you back before snuggling his face back into your neck. Leaving the dancefloor you and Ben go back to your seat. While sitting and drunkenly talking Klaus shows up and the three of you start walking around the hotel property.
     Towards the end of the night Klaus, you, and Ben arrive back at the wedding noticeably more drunk than before. “Oh no no no no no!” someone shouts. “Klaus, why are you bringing Ben here?” Five asks. “Hear me out before--” “Hear him out,” you and Ben shout in sync as you take your shared cigarette away from Ben. “The brother that you all knew as Ben is gone. And not-- I don’t mean our Ben, the nice Ben. I mean this Ben, he’s gone now. The asshole, he’s gone now,” Klaus exclaims. “But that's what I liked about you, my asshole,” you say sadly looking at Ben. “Klaus, what are you talking about?” Luther asks. Klaus ignoring his question continues, “And the man that stands in front of you is new new Ben, and he’s one of us, and he’s a member of the team. And he’s part of the family!” Ben and Klaus shout the last statement in unison. “And as a welcome gift, I suggest we throw him off the roof,” Five says making you laugh. “Ha! They like me more!” you gloat at Ben. “Yeah, I’ll help,” Diego agrees with Five. “You know what. You know what. He can stay. He can stay,” Luther says. “And baby eight?” Klaus says holding your shoulders and giving puppy eyes. “They’ve been welcome to stay,” Diego says making you smile as you walk over with Klaus and Ben.
    Almost as soon as you sit down everyone starts heading to bed. Standing up you pull Ben along with you, “I’m ‘sleepy’ if you get my meaning,” you say to Ben too loudly. Taking a moment to understand what you meant, Ben then realizes it, “huh? Sleepy? But-- Oh!” he says before speed walking with you toward to elevator.

Ok so I just watched episode 5 of the pjo show and honestly I might get dragged for this but I have some very real criticisms of it that I want to share. And if you enjoy the show that’s fine, I’m enjoying it to but at the same time I have a lot of issues with it and want to talk about it because I think being able to be real and critical of stuff that you like is important.
I think I’ll start with the pacing because that’s my biggest issue with it rn. It is moving so fast it feels like it’s just doing the spark notes version of the book. And ik we are all on the train of adaptations not having to be exactly like the book anymore, (which is literally just a thing that came about bc of this show and if it was any other show to book movie I think ppl would have a different tune but that is an entirely different conversation that maybe I’ll talk about later because I find it very interesting tbh), but the show is cutting out a lot of stuff that I feel was very important to the characters and in the books. I don’t know if this us because of the episode count or the episode length of if it’s the right, maybe it’s all three, but I feel like because the pacing is so fast the story is just breezing past a lot of emotional beats.
Which brings me to my next point. I have not felt a single thing watching any of these episodes. In fact I felt more about this show when I watching a single clip from episode 5 on TikTok than I did while watching the actual episode even at that clip. The show is so bad at building tension for literally anything. And I know everyone hates the movies and all that but the movies scene with Mrs Dodds had more tension and life than the scene did in the show. And I’ve heard people dispute “oh Percy has been seeing stuff all his life he probably thought that this was just that and didn’t realize it was real” but that has nothing to do with this. Why didn’t Mrs Dodds lead him away from all the other students? Why would she attack him in broad daylight when she’d aware that Chiron and a satyr are there? Or even if she didn’t know Chiron was there if she knew there was a demigod there she should’ve at least suspected the presence of a satyr.
The chimera fight was also very disappointing. Now I don’t remember exactly how this fight went in the books or in the movies but I don’t need to remember to know that this fight as equally tensionless and emotionless as the Mrs Dodds fight. And yah, they’re kids, it doesn’t need to be some epic battle or anything, but there should be tension. We should feel a least a little nervous even if we know what’s going to happen. Ngl. I don’t even know what to say about the Medusa fight bc I don’t even remember what happened. I don’t remember what happened in the books when it came to Medusa besides Percy cutting off her head and sending it to the gods. I’d definitely have to reread the books again before I comment on the change of theme surrounding Medusa and like half of the main theme of the series because Rick did some serious reconning with this stuff but unfortunately my books are lost somewhere in my basement.
I do think the Minotaur fight was fine really good though. The bond between Percy and his mom was built up really well and it was pretty devastating with that last scene between them. You could really feel the impact that Sally’s “death” had on him. However, it was so fucking dark it was hard to see half of what was happening and I’m gonna talk about that more later.
The next thing I want to talk about is the acting/casting. And before anyone says anything this has nothing to do with Annabeth being black or Percy not having black hair. Their characters feel flat and honestly I think that if it’s anyone’s fault it’s the directors and the script. I’ll use Walker as a reference because he’s the only one I’ve seen in anything else, in The Adam Project he was brilliant. Like there were multiple times where his performance alone had me in tears. That movie had me ugly sobbing at least three times and Walker was definitely part of the reason why.
In the pjo show he just feels… dull. And a tad bit lifeless which is baffling. How do you even make a character like Percy Jackson that, I’m sorry to say but, boring. Even the movies managed to give him more personality than the show, and I genuinely hate to say that but if I had to rank all the Percy’s show Percy is at the bottom which is so hard to say because Walker is perfect for this role but still he has more Percy Personality in that Kraft Mac and Cheese ad that he did with Ryan Reynolds. I do realize that part of this could be because we don’t have Percy’s inner monologue, sorta like what happened with Harry in Harry Potter, but there are ways to combat that like having a character be more expressive and stuff and that is also just not happening.
*(Also if anyone of curious my Percy Ranking goes 1: book Percy, 2: musical Percy, 3: movie Percy, 4: show Percy).
Speaking of expressiveness, Leah as Annabeth is also very disappointing because in her interviews she seems so Annabeth and I can see why Rick choose her but in the show all of her lines are delivered the exact same and the most emotion we get from her is a pinch of her eyebrows. And it’s a similar issue with Walker because he doesn’t emote that much either and neither does Aryan so I’m definitely thinking that it’s an issue with the directing instead of the actors. I don’t have much to say about Aryan. He’s ok, he has the same issues as the others of just not having a lot of emotion or very good dialogue/line delivery but again I don’t think that’s his fault and instead the direction of the show.
Listen I think they’re all incredible and the chemistry that they have in interviews is amazing. But the fact that I can see more of their characters in interviews than the actual show is insane, especially because it’s so obvious they all care about their characters and the world of Percy Jackson so much that I think if they were left on their own they could do this show perfectly but someone behind the scenes is stamping down their performances for the sake of the show taking itself too seriously.
Charlie and Dior were both great for the screen time they had. I mean not much to say about them tbh bc they didn’t have that much screen time but Dior’s scream after her spear was broken was literal gold. Adam Copeland as Ares was amazing and Lin Manuel Miranda as Hermes is quite possibly the worst thing that they could’ve ever done.
I know a lot of people were praising the change they made with Annabeth and Percy’s relationship and how that instead of disliking each other because of their parents they disliked each other because of bad personal impressions. But honestly I have to disagree. If I remember correctly Annabeth disliked him because he was son of Poseidon, and Percy disliked Annabeth because she was rude to him. And to me that made perfect sense because Annabeth was literally being indoctrinated by the gods/what they teach at camp for years/half her childhood why wouldn’t she hate Percy based solely on the fact her mom hates his dad? And I think that was actually kind of important as a character trait and I’m pretty bummed it was changed. (Ngl tho like I said earlier I haven’t read the books in a long time so I could be wrong about this, I’m just basing this off what other people have said about the beginning of their relationship in reference to the show and the books).
Also going back to what I said about the lighting ‼️SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 5 ‼️this really pissed me off because so many shows do this and it only started becoming a real problem in recent years. In episode 5 when Percy and Annabeth are entering the amusement park it is so goddamn dark I could not see what was happening. I have no idea what that machine over Percy’s head at the entrance was or looked like. I don’t know why it made him so scared because I could not see it. I could not see their faces as they were talking. I could literally barely see where they were when they panned out to show them walking through the amusement part and this makes no sense to me. You have this huge elaborate set that I would really like to see but it is so dark the only things I can make out is a ferris wheel and maybe a bumper car? I could not see shit, it was so annoying and so many new shows do this where the scenes at night are just so dark you cannot see anything. And I get that sometimes it’s intentional, you’re not supposed to see what’s going on, but this is not one of those scenes so why am I having such a hard time finding our main characters?
I really need to reread the books again and when I do I will add more to this probably or just remake the post. But so far I think the show is really mediocre and pretty disappointing, and I think it’s important to point this stuff out and not just heap piles of praise onto the show just because it’s written by the og writer of the book. We’re definitely going to get more seasons and I would like those seasons to be better than this one and actually let the actors shine and for the show to reflect what was so amazing about the books. Also, I just want to say that there are moments/stuff that I like about the show and as critical as I am of it it’s because I like the series, not because I’m just trying to be a hater. But seriously, I used to hate the movies with every fiber of my being but because of the show I have a new found appreciation for them, which I think that in and of itself says a lot about how the show has been so far.

Maryland Opinion
Ok, so. It's late, but I have to share my thoughts. This is spoiler free at first:
- first of all, I am BLOWN AWAY. I loved every minute of it
- it was rather slow and pretty much completely character-driven, but gods, I could not stop watching until I had finished it
- Eve has been chronically underused in most of her roles, but this show really drove home just how much. The acting of literally everyone was phenomenal, but Eve's and Suranne's especially. There was just... so much raw emotions.
- pretty much from the first minute I loved Rosaline, and the character development was hella satisfying
- despite it being mostly tragic all-around, there was a lot of humour, mostly through Rosaline. So I really enjoyed that. And it was the sort of humour that shouldn't crack you up, but does
- all in all, it's a really good show and everyone involved should get awards for it, but I'm not sure how much general audiences will like it. Like I said, it's gripping bc of the characters and not much through the story imo
Here is the spoiler part (episodes 1-3):
- I can't help myself...I'm shipping her with the taxi driver. The scene at the lake might have been slightly cheesy but I totally melted. And the way she talked to him at his house...about her sickness. That really hit me hard.
- then there is the fight between her and Becca, where all the burried resentment comes out and she screams "this conversation makes me want to kill myself". I forgot to breathe for a moment. At the time we still didn't know that the cancer hadn't returned...
- when they read their mum's letter...the way she sobbed. Ngl it broke my heart... completely.
- when they identified their mum's body ... I just knew how their characters would react even before they got there. That's how well they established them in the first like 10min. Also...that tear...pls end me
- the way that I found most of their feelings and reactions so believable...loved it.
- but I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of love declarations and the sort of messages that their mum wrote them, or the discussion between Becca and her husband at the beach. That's the only stuff that seemed slightly artificial to me. The rest was really life-like in my opinion.
- and my concluding statement: Eve looked stunning. That's nothing new, but it had to be said.
Thank you for your attention.

Jujutsu Kaisen s2 ep3
Overall I'm enjoying this because it's jjk but I have a few gripes ngl
Scroll away if you might be upset by a less than glowing review
I'm so sorry to these mappa employees and I completely understand why they went with the less detailed look but 😕 idk man
(I'm not bothered by the new style, I loved ep1 and enjoyed ep2 for the most part)
BUT
There's something missing in the weight and impact of the fight scenes. Kuroi and Geto's fight scenes in ep 2 didn't even make sense. Even the blood splatter looks a little lifeless.
There's a reason the more detailed, less "pretty" and a little rigid style worked for jjk. I understand that this season has better animation, background work and composition but there's something off in the feel of it
I also think they could have adapted and arranged this episode a little different from the manga. Like:
Reveal Geto and Gojo's thoughts on the merger and letting Riko go while they watch her at the aquarium
Give us a view of how Gojo sees sorcerers and humans and the CE they have or give off and then show us none coming from Toji to show us his invisiblity. Then have Gojo inner monologue about how that's impossible, but quickly move on to "if that's the case, it must be heavenly restriction allowing him superhuman abilities" or something
(jjk isn't really a hand holding show but some anime onlys haven't heard the term in 3 years, they might not know what he means)
Show Riko thinking about growing up with Kuroi while she's at the aquarium so we don't have 1 relatively silent montage followed by another
Show Geto looking at Kuroi holding back tears or having a trembling lip before she says she can't go any further
Show Gojo using his six eyes to figure out the inverted spear of heaven's ability then just have Toji say the name
Idk, I can't think of anything else rn but in all honesty, the impact of the fights not hitting quite as hard is the most worrying considering there's gonna be non stop action for more than half the season
I understand that with how much needs to be adapted, it wouldn't be practical to do what Sung Hoo Park did in extending and adding to the fights and I might be proven wrong when Gojo v Toji continues
(plus this can and might be addressed in a Blu-ray edition)
But I still think it's a shame that 3 out of the 4 fights so far haven't hit the way others in jjk have. Season 1, imo, put as much weight into even the smaller fights
Idk, maybe I'm just bugging. Don't kill me, I just needed to rant
Tumblr media
(s2 still above and s1 still below)
Someone posted this on twitter and (again I don't dislike the s2 look BUT) I can't deny that there's something special about the aesthetic of s1. Like his eyes don't just have a glow filter look to them, they have the actual sky. I understand and respect that they probably don't have the time to animate that anymore but I'm allowed to say I prefer it
Idk s2 kinda looks like an AI art

also i want you to rank the multiversal stevetonies: 1872, 616, ults, mcu, and any others you want to include ✨
OOOOO BOY. Okay
So number one is extremely unsurprisingly going to be 616. They're the ogs and absolutely no one does it like them. The slow burn, the extremely unresolved homoeroticism, and the angst (the ANGST!!!!!),, all of that is just unparalleled. None can compete with that much lore and all those moments of them just saying sappy gay shit like "you gave me a home" or "i'm not half as good at anything as i am when i'm doing it next to you", or absolutely heart-wrenching things like "it wasn't worth it" or "he loved you, and he admired you, even when you fought"
After some deliberation with my own self I have decided that 1610 (Marvel Ultimates) is my second favourite. I just love the dynamic A LOT. Imagine you're this repressed homosexual man who was transported a billion years into the future and you fall in love with the most obnoxious man ever and then you find out he's dying. The struggle of reconciling with your own self and then trying to pursue something with someone who might as well be dead. There are just so many possibilities
MCU is going to be a respectable third. I have a lot of fondness for it because it is what introduced me to stevetony (when I first saw the helicarrier scene all I remember was thinking "these guys have sexual tension and I want to be there when they resolve it"). One complaint I have is the initial hostility that they had, because I think A LOT of people got hung up on that lmao. I don't really watch marvel movies anymore, not even old ones bc they just make me sad :-(. Still, they have some absolutely incredible moments like "i'm home" or "do you trust me" "i do" and "i thought you and Tony were still gazing into each other's eyes (thanks natasha)"
1872... Oh 1872. I have a lot of feelings and not enough Canon content, and that's the only reason why it's so low on the list. I love how Steve was literally the CATALYST for Tony becoming Iron man like. That is so sick omg... He was so grief-stricken that he literally went mad. I also fucking love their interactions "I think you pulled enough corks for today, Stark. It ain't even noon" "oh why hello there sherif. I guess you have nothing better to do than infringe on my constitutionally guaranteed right to pursue happiness (can't argue w that ngl)"
Avengers Assemble!! I actually fucking love them ngl but the reason why they're number five is that there isn't enough angst. Where is the bloodshed and death and tears????? I need to see grown men crying and screaming in agony thanks. Other than that, I love their dynamic and how fucking domestic they are. They are so married they're making my parents look single omg like GET A ROOM GUYS. My favourite thing that Steve ever said in that show was "iron or not, you're still the man" hell yeah boy get that dick
Marvel's avengers 2020 (the video game!!). God. I did not play it myself but I have seen Stevetony scenes and they are so SICK. Tony being so fucking DEVASTATED at Steve's death is really entertaining and makes me very happy. He should continue being sad hehe >:-))
Other than that, I haven't seen any other universes w them in it. There's EMH, and I'm planning to watch it eventually (I'll let you know what I think!) and as for 3490, I think that needs a separate post in itself. I hope this answered your question hehe ty <33333

Just finished the Miraculous movie
I do know that this film was in production for A LONG WHILE and I thought it wasn’t going to ever get released to the US for some time and now that I’ve seen it..l.
Well…at least the animation was pretty good??
Some spoilers underneath the cut
Didn’t expect all the damn songs. They sounded good ngl but…they made this a musical??? It felt kinda distracting at times. Although I did like 3 of them so that’s something worth rewatching.
That duet between Ladybug and Chat had me smiling for a bit.
HawkMoth’s song was so outta nowhere but hey, free villain song AND it sounds pretty well done? I’ll take it.
And Chat’s solo, mwah. Very nice
The actions scenes were pretty fun to watch, that part from the show was carried over well with how they used the akumatized character’s powers in unique and creative ways.
Liked how sassy they made Tikki in this, she had a ready-to-go attitude all the way.
They decimated my boy Plagg though….turned him into a flatulent joke 🤦‍♀️
Surprisingly, that one part at the ending with Adrien and Gabriel actually made me tear up a bit despite me not liking the dude in the slightest, but it was that hug man, that father-son hug was animated good, I felt that.
But for a movie based off the show that also kinda serves as a introduction for new viewers, to be honest it felt like still needed some work. I mean haven’t watched the show since it’s 2nd season and I could see how for some people it might be hard to follow since it feels like they’re fitting 3 seasons worth of story into a 100 minute movie.
Idk, I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular but I still didn’t feel too disappointed with it like a lot of other people have been.I’d give it a….6/10. Yeah, that’s my score honestly.

Kinda ranty iwtv review ahead.
When I finally got the chance to watch iwtv I found it meh. Which was weird to me, I was so excited about it.
Been trying to find out why for over a week.
I think I figured out now what I didn't like.
1. A small thing, the music. It didn' fit the scenes and simply sucked.
2. The atmosphere. The show kept the gore but ditched the gothic part of that horror genre imo.
This might partially be due to the fact that the act of blood drinking is pretty much de-mystified in the show. First, it's not a stand in for sex anymore, since there's actual sex. Not a bad thing per se of course, but different vibes.
Secondly, the "experiencing the whole life of a human via their memories when drinking their blood" part obvi couldn't really be put into the show.
3. Daniel. What the hell. Ok, there's the aged up thing, I could live with that. But due to his newly constructed history with Louis, Daniel is missing the wonder, scepticism and in the end downright horror when confronted with an actual vampire.
He's just sassy, bitchy and judgemental all the time, which kinda shapes how Louis in those scenes is presented to the audience.
There's not even respect, like, basic respect for another being who's guest you are. Feels totally off.
(Also I personally love book-Daniel and Armands relationship, so kinda miffed I wont get that).
4. The biggest point: Lestat's and Louis' relationship. There are multiple factors here.
First, the beginning. In the books Lestat was drawn to a deeply depressed Louis with a death wish.
Show Louis attracted Lestat by being assertive and very clear of his boundaries (if you take the most positive spin on his confrontation with his brother).
That sets off an entirely different dynamic. Also, show Louis pretty much has his shit together given the circumstances. He has to run his buisiness while being surrounded by bigotted racists and he's managing kinda well. (Until he rightfully explodes).
He also seems to turn to drinking animal blood not out of guilt or shame, but reason.
It's more like blood is blood and less clean up that way.
Louis doesn't huddle in the sewers, bawling and hating himself while munching on pest rats.
Which interestingly makes show Louis much more likable, because, ngl, book Louis took my last nerve. I was relieved to get Lestat's perspective in the second book, which was much more entertaining.
So, show Louis is likable and relatable, which changes the dynamic. In addition to to that Claudia becomes his sworn ally, so those two built a front against Lestat.
(Rightfully so, Lestat treats them like shit.)
But it divides Louis and Lestat further.
Plus by making Louis more self confident and assertive, it actually feels worse that they added that horrible scene where Lestat beat him up and dropped him (totally unnecessary btw, he was hovering above the ground in the first or second ep already, it was clear he could do that).
It felt like building the character up to tear him down more if that makes sense.
There are things I did like though:
*Like I said, I actually like Anderson's Louis more than book Louis, just not in that combination.
*Sam Reid does an amazing job as Lestat, everyone already knows that of course, and there's just no arguing here.
*Both actors have crazy good chemistry (which yeah, would be even better if not for the changed dynamics, I mean, they're pretty much end game in the books, they should work well together).
*Armand is perfect. He is ridiculously gorgeous while also appearing very calm and collected with a side of creepy. Which is exactly how Armand should be given the way he is described in the books (he's not 17 in the show, but I still think he's a great choice).
All in all it's not a bad adaption, it has some great scenes and I will keep watching, I'm just not blown away by it.
I would love for people to add to this, since it's probs a more unpoplular opinion, so discussion is always interesting.
Also, full disclosure, I ditched my Anne Rice books years ago, so I might remember stuff wrongly, please point that out to me.

Me watching Last Twilight Ep. 1:
It's finally heeeereeee! I'm so excited. Also, I skipped breakfast for this, I can hear my tummy growling 😅.
1. Ngl, I DID NOT enjoy the flashing lights at the start of the episode. That should come with a warning 😵‍💫
2. I never got the allure of sportsbetting. Sure, gambling is so prevalent here in Australia that they might as well make it an official sport too, but I never get why would you want to spend your hard-earned money on something so dependent on another person's luck? Wtf.
3. Why is Mark's character (Night) not in the audience? Why isn't he supporting his brother?
4. Mhok, it ain't your fight. Let your friend deal with consequences of his sh*tty actions. 😑 Also, it looks like P'Aof learned how to do fight scenes properly (flashbacks to the cartoonish "fights" in BBS 😂)
5. Why, in the name of all things holy, are you wearing ripped jeans while job hunting, Mhok? 😅😅😅 Also, the parole officer seems nice.
6. Oh, professor from BBS (don't know his name), why did you lie? If you don't want to hire Mhok, you shouldn't have gotten his hopes up. Side note: Namtam is so pretty 😍😍😍
7. That scene with the nail salon broke my soul. So, did Mhok's sister committed suicide because of a failed business venture? 🤔
8. Guy in the interview, why are you crying? That gave me so much cringe.
9. Mhok, you could have at least clean yourself up first 😂 Also, how are you going to the interview without any application papers on you?
10. Day has obviously checked out of his own life while Mhok is just struggling to get his life back on track. Now, I don't know how to feel about things 😭
11. I get that Mhok is hurting, but is selling his sister's car the solution? I mean, the car obviously means something to him too. The way that he talks about it is just tear-inducing 😭
12. Day seems to intensely dislike his brother. I wonder why. Also, despite his 'tough' exterior, it seems like Mhok cannot just stand still when somebody right in front of him needs a helping hand.
13. I don't understand how Day can hold so much power in this household. Mum seems to just brush off Day's disrepect and Night, despite being older, seems to be almost fearful of Day.
14. Ah, I don't like The Little Prince simply because the ending is too depressing. I sincerely hope this is not foreshadowing of things to come in later episodes 😭 Also, I am having flashbacks of Enchanté 😅
So far, so good. I have so many questions that requires immediate answers 😂😂😂 But knowing P'Aof, he'll hold all the answers until the time that we least expect it.
