#in a wish fulfillment way

[starry-bi-sky]

more clone^2 memes because i think they're funny

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpxdc crossover #dpdc #clone^2 #danny fenton is not the ghost king #so canon to clone^2 and clone damian the portal that ends up transporting damian to amity park is left pr ambiguous #so really how he got there could be one of many things whether it be through divine intervention or clockwork's doing or hell #it could've also been quite literally the 1 in 1 millionth chance that a natural portal opened up beneath him and sent him to amity #and was a happy accident #but the idea that the laz pits or another adjacent such entity heard damian wanting an older brother (he meant og damian but oops never- #specified) and then sends him to the one person who could fulfill that wish and make him happy at the same time. #was really funny to me within the context of the lilo and stitch meme. the meme can also be seen the other way around with danny as lilo #and damian as stitch. but danny being stitch was infinitely funnier and ~technically~ more accurate imo #danny technically IS a nice angel but also. he's a developing menace to society (just ask wes) and he's going to make damian one too #danny being from the midwest means he has a midwestern accent and thats not something the bats know how to handle when they finally meet hi #hey look at that! my meme making skills are steadily improving. im no longer making the same joke six different times in different formats #those first two images i made a few days ago the rest i made in the last thirty minutes in a spur of clone^2 induced inspiration #and procrastination of writing the cfau rewrite of the first post. we are 10k words deep folks and just barely got past the 1st gala reunio #dunking on the giw is a god-given right and danny WILL pass it down to damian

The Favor

When Youngblood became a ghost he actually didn't think he would be so lonely. It was stressful and annoying, being so young, watching the years go by but never being able to move on or change. He was a child who died, and the only way for him to feel like a child again was to play.

But even then he felt invisible. That made his powers listen to his wishes and cause no adult to see him. And maybe that was for the better, adults were scary, adults could hurt you. They wouldn't understand.

Meeting the other ghosts was both a blessing and a curse. Everyone saw him as a kid, some thought he was annoying and others played with him. He was grateful to Ember for spending so much of her time being a pirate, but he didn't want to take up so much of her time. It made him feel guilty.

When Danny became King and the ghost kid heard that he was destined to help the other ghosts, Youngblood plucked up his courage and asked him for a favor: Find him a friend. One alive that wanted to play and never get bored of it.

Danny took the task very seriously, looking for all possible candidates, avoiding ghosts. Until he found a more or less suitable friend: Klarion. He was older than Youngblood but seemed to be just as bored. Clockwork looked at him in dismay at his solution to the problem but didn't stop him.

This led to the Justice League being defeated by Klarion, who had taken over the Watchtower and seemed to be happily talking to air. He was seconds away from destroying the earth or something similar with death ray, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Everyone froze when a portal opened next to the boy and someone came out asking "How are the new friends?" Before realizing the situation, the creature sighed in disappointment and destroyed the death ray with a snap of his fingers. A girl just like him came out of the portal excited ignoring everyone and began to talk to the air. Klarion seemed to be following the conversation.

Danny watched Youngblood talking to Dani and Klarion, he knew that his cousin could be good company, but he hadn't contacted her before due to her travels and status as a halfa (the probability of destroying the world was there too); well, now Youngblood had two friends (that solved the problem) but- how did he prevent them from ending the world? Or worse, from terrorize innocent cosplayers?

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #He is taking his job seriously #Fulfilling the wishes and requests of all ghosts that asked #Youngblood was also an ally #or something similar #Danny thought that a friend would calm him down #and he will stop terrorizing people #It ended on the opposite way #now Youngblood and Klarion are best friends #the worst idea ever #but Clockwork is entertained #The League had no opportunity #Dani also joined them at the end #is a friend group #that will destroy the world #maybe Damian and Jon can join #Danny is not sure if the world's destruction is a surprise but #poor cosplayers #Danny didn't realize he was at space #dc x dp #dp x dc #Klarion and friends #Danny is not sure what he did wrong #He didn't contact Dani at first to prevent that exact situation #and the fact that she was just half alive and Youngblood wanted an alive friend #Youngblood want to be a kid again #youngblood

persona misogyny is so fucking wild. ignoring literally everything else about the entire rest of the games, every single s.link with a female character is like “entirely for having been born a woman i have had to work twice as hard for a fraction of the benefit. even now, i am stripped of my agency in a position i never wanted in the first place” and/or “i’m put on a pedestal by the people in my life because of my looks. men see me as an object to be conquered, women hate me for ‘stealing’ ‘their’ men. if i’m withdrawn i’m a bitch, if i’m friendly i’m easy. because of this, i’m alone” and/or “because of my personality or hobby or lack of cooking skills, i feel like i’m failing at femininity. if being a woman is something i can fail at, then where does that leave me? i’m scared at the loss of my identity and place in society”

like very consistently they present female characters with complex thoughts towards their place in society as women, femininity as a whole, and facing issues stemming from misogyny, and then the payoff is always “my problems were entirely my own fault. i wasn’t strong enough, i was a coward. but now, i’m gonna work hard to be exactly what society expects me to be (which is what i want to be)! i’m gonna do better at femininity (which is still something tangible i can fail at)! i’m going to try hard at making friends (which was my fault for not doing)! all my problems are solved through personal responsibility (that im totally culpable for), effort (which i previously was not putting in), or you, a man! i am Happy and Satisfied with this outcome, can i be Your woman?”

and like hello? why are we here. what the fuck are we doing. why do we keep doing this every single time. can we not do the constant lukewarm attempts at criticizing misogyny so you can jerk off to your own thoughtfulness, while ultimately reinforcing patriarchal systems and brushing off any deeper misogyny-bred issues as a lack of deference to one’s rightful place in society? like maybe don’t do that? for fucking once? just an idea

#i’d really need to rewatch slinks to give more indepth thoughts or pull specific examples #but i’m right and i pace about it every day #i’m not really talking about naoto that’s a whole other can of worms a long way down the line #rambles #if persona’s all about wish fulfillment where’s my persona game where i can be a feminist huh #p4g posting #p3p posting #yeah both of those. i’m not far enough in p4 to have seen the payoff but i know that its fucking persona 4 #and jesus christ yukiko!! i only vaguely know of ai. chie in the main story/dialogue options you have #jesus christ the dialogue options. can you ask literally every girl if they have a boyfriend?? and ‘thats very feminine’ DIE #and man p3p. persona main plot misogyny is weird when you’re on the other side of it #it’s a very different experience being the one getting peeped on #and then saori. and mitsuru. and fuuka. kinda rio. idr a single thing about yukari’s slink i’m sorry but probably her too #also my vague recollection of p5 with haru. ann by default though idr her slink #and goddd of course the. everything else. i’m not touching on. main plot misogyny and inherent writing stuff and etc etc etc etc etc etc et #GOD. #persona is hell

[uncanny-tranny]

I think what might actually help the families of trans loved ones is to actually engage with where the trans person is at - especially if the family isn't quite understanding yet. When I came out, I was completely alone in figuring out my manhood. I had peers and I had exposed myself to so many trans people who explored gender, and while it was amazing, it isn't quite the same at times. I grieve quietly, sometimes, about all the missed opportunities that might have just made it easier for my family to have seen how utterly happy I was. It took them a very long time to actually notice that I was happy, especially once I got on testosterone. I'm lucky that they saw that happiness eventually, and slowly accepted it. My manhood is completely detached from their influence, both to my relief and chagrin. It's sad to me that I learned to shave from a kind online stranger, somebody who didn't even have a father and yet, I do. I have a father. I grieve at the loss of a potential shared experience. I grieve about the pain I went through when I was in that stage of transition, especially because it was raw and vulnerable. I grieve that many trans people today are traversing the path I had to, because it's sometimes lonely (even when you do have other forms of support).

It's hard to know that I will never have gotten my sense of being from my family. In many ways, it has severed a lot of connection with them because there were so many times that I was begging them to see happiness when they were focused on the idea that I was almost in a state of purgatory - flesh which felt warm but held no familiarity to them. I don't harbor ill-will toward them, I hope I don't leave the impression that I despise them. I understand what they felt, even if I can't conceptualize it myself. However, it's a raw wound in my heart, and I don't want to leave anybody else feeling that way, either.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #ally advice #i'm thankful that my manhood is the way it is. but it was a painful journey to get here and i did it partially alone #i absolutely am grateful to have had my friends and the trans people who made themselves known though. i owe these people my life #i still think it's not unreasonable to have wished for my /family/ to have been part of that journey sooner especially when i was young #sometimes it seems like parents who believe their child has died after they express their transness make that a self-fulfilling prophecy... #...in that the parent often aloenates themself/themselves from their child in a variety of ways... #...i was alienated from my dad when he threatened my transition - it became a self-fulfilling prophecy in that i shut myself down... #...i retreated inward and in a way became a ghost - corporeal to the touch but a spirit who may not be seen... #...in many ways i felt in limbo between life and death. it was a cycle of purgatory #and that is something i think is best avoided. it's lonely and scary and it makes it hard to imagine a future #i need to emphasize that even though this was shitty i am still lucky in so many ways #i just faced a lot of undue shit even so - shit i don't think was conducive to a good environment or well-being

Reading the webtoon and…

Does this imply that Kim Dokja also tried to write a questionnaire for her to fill in since she wouldn’t speak to him, that either he 1) never gave her in the end (especially if he couldn’t find her after she was released) or 2) gave it to her and she STILL refused to answer?

Because that is so so so so awful. It was already bad but if he tried so many ways to get her to speak and she still gave him no response, regardless of her reasoning… isn’t that still directly choosing to cut herself fully out of his life? Why in the hell did she lie for his sake and allow him to visit her if she wanted to never speak to him again?

I know everyone claims Kim Dokja is just like her in sacrificing himself for loved ones, but at least he tries his best to stay with them and to keep them in his life. He still chooses sacrifice, but it’s not because he intends to never return. He always returns (even if much later than planned).

The only time this differs is with 51%, when he STILL tried his best to stay with them - at least as much as he could.

I sometimes like Lee Sookyung, but I am mostly still SO mad at her for completely ignoring her child since he was 8 years old. Especially when he must have looked like shit any number of times from being mistreated and bullied by family, friends, army, employers.

But maybe that’s just the fragment in me being eternally pissed with her. She DOES love him, but like he says in the webtoon in this chapter - maybe such truths are painful enough to be false anyways, because they’re just SUCH bullshit. That’s not how affection should work, if you actually care about someone and want them to be happy.

#RAWWRGHHH I WANT TO SHAKE HER SO MUCH #LOOK AFTER YOUR KID #and if you can’t do that because of circumstances at least ACKNOWLEDGE HIM #yes I do know she cared and it’s just that she mistakenly believes he’s better off this way without her but like #then WHY does she still insert herself back into his life when he’s finally stopped trying to get her to speak? #yes yes others have great analyses on her and their relationship and I usually agree with their logic but it’s still. So. Hard. to like her #but then I remember that this story was the little Dream’s wishful thinking to cope back then on his own #and so maybe in his world Lee Sookyung never ever would speak to him again #he just wished she would so he wrote it down as happening for This older version of him #and that’s somehow worse because like #even in the story where he got her to speak to him again she still won’t speak so he has to force the words out some way (via outer god) #and if that’s true then it’s still just his interpretation of her actions and choices #and not her own since she never told him #so like ARGGHHH #but I like to believe that characters have autonomy despite their respective author’s efforts in documenting them #so she still chose to speak all of this too and he would have accurately interpreted her this way because she controls what she says #even if he (little Dream Kim Dokja) is the one writing it down as wish fulfilment fix-it fic #a fix-it for himself and not just for the other people he loves #😭😭😭 #orv #orv spoilers #omniscient reader’s viewpoint #lee sookyung #kim dokja

Still obsessing over Megs wanting to carry sparklings. I can imagine some bots thinking it's just a weird joke/phase he has and just laughing about it. Meanwhile Megs gets upset and sad when he gets denied any attempt to get knocked up or hear anyone says things about how he'd be a terrible mother. Some bots make comments about how "his body wouldn't be fit to carry" even tho he's got them thick thighs and birthing hips-

Anyway this probably makes no sense fbndnd just really thinking about angsty Megs who rlly wants to be a mommy

I can see this and in this scenario i can see Megatron going on and on about how they shouldn't restrict the right to carry post war, I'm really feeling a "g1ish megop develops post war" thing here as I've seen a fic of that and it was great

Or

Tfp megasound where they got sidetracked from their quest

Or

Mtmte megarod, post good ending

#''they were wrong to say that_ you make such a good carrier'' #i can see rodimus lazily tracing megatron's frame while they lie together as they talk about their future now #in my mind the good ending us going very well so far (... so far) in that scenario #imagining there's emotion behind old school primes and fertility there_ I've talked about that before #that works for the g1ish megop situation too #in the tfp megasound idea soundwave found out through time that no_ it wasn't a phase_ it was something Megatron truly wanted #and he promised himself he'd find a way to rend the universe in two if it meant fulfilling that wish and proving the haters wrong #and_ with the autobots on the run and an energon surplus on earth_ it was a relatively good time to try #sorry for adding good post material to the tags #suggestive #mildly so #maccadam #transformers #tfp megatron #mtmte megatron #g1 megatron #g1 optimus prime #tfp soundwave #mtmte rodimus #megop #megasound #megarod

Just Shidou

#milgram #milgram fanart #shidou kirisaki #doki doki literature club au #i'm back at this silly au again #i didn't want to put in the effort of making him blend in with the background because i'm really busy this week #also special apology to all shidou fans for forgetting his beauty marks in the first drawing #it probably will happen again #iris draws #I've been thinking about this AU a bit more (even though i should be focusing on upcoming exams i have) #haruka definitely wouldn't like the super dense wordy books like yuri so what would he like? (maybe children's books?) #mikoto reads mystery or horror novels because there is no way he doesn't watch horror movies in canon with an MV like that #although he did say he doesn't like violence so who knows #fuuta reads manga like natsuki but the genre is maybe isekai #he'd love the fantasy setting and wish fulfillment #although admittedly i'm not very familiar with manga as a whole so maybe there are more appropriate choices for him #i'm not sure what shidou would read though

I still really like Age of Calamity in spite of its canon divergence, because nothing brings me more joy than seeing glimpses of what the Kingdom of Hyrule was like before so much of it was vaporized!!

I read every little mission/quest text and it just makes me smile. Reading (wholesome) stories about random citizens!! Little cultural details and how different tribes interacted with each other, what the Sheikah-Royal family relationship was like...

It gave us a surface-level form of the one thing I secretly hoped TotK would let us do, which is to explore this iteration of the kingdom while it was intact. The stone tablets in Tears were so much fun but GODSSS I wish they'd have let us explore ancient Hyrule instead of just the ruins of some of it in the sky and depths.

I am after all a nerd about these games so it really is the small stuff that feeds my heart the most <33

#bonbons bs #the legend of zelda #botw #hw aoc #age of calamity #i know a loooot of ppl were mad it was a wish fulfillment happy ending thing #and not a true prequel recounting the pre-tragedy events #but honestly i've been playing again recently #and in some ways I like it more than tears?? weirdly? #they should've added a photo or freeplay mode tho #just for looking at the thriving villages and stuff #man I wish we could've walked through castle town in its prime :(( #so freaking excited for my d&d campaign thooo!!

jason would be such a good older brother when it comes to teaching age old kid mischief like picture him in a lanky teen stage and damian age five sitting criss cross applesauce serious as hell playing concentration 64 naming venomous animals, or flipping each other off behind talia’s back,and like can you imagine the intensity of them playing hide and seek tag?

#it is pure wish fulfilment because of course i want damian to have had fun childhood memories #and just the delight that is teaching a kid important stuff like nonsense rhymes and ways to prank adults #jason todd #damian wayne

[vermillioncrown]

i always think about this whenever i see a post about SIs but never end up articulating it (not my post, no energy, lost in the semantics)

-> not really into the twee-ass way people try to justify SIs like "you can write yourself being cool and badass, everyone finding you hot, cringe is dead" because it misses a huge point

you can't always be cool and badass. you can't always be likeable. and yet you still exist, do things, and experience life through your highs and lows. aren't those parts also worth acknowledging and talking about? if you only want to curate yourself or project a fantasy, that's okay--but wouldn't it be nice if your worst bits can still find empathy and support? or at the very least, still be interesting enough for others to consider?

#redglyphs #opinionated verm #no one ever says this. they always jump to the oft-implied wish-fulfillment power fantasy idea of an SI #and on cringe: it comes down to implementation/execution of your concept #the blah blah ''no idea is bad by itself. but there are plenty of ways to badly execute an idea'' or whatever #and even 'bad' is loaded--ineffective. unfocused. #inner pedant can't help but will out whenever i see any pithy online thing about writing: ''fucking be precise''

[urostakako]

if choso could be useful for one thing i wish the brotherly bond was more reciprocated. like i get gege has the erase-all-emotions-and-draw-naked-macho-men disease but it would be nice for yuuji to acknowledge him as family before choso dies since he has none left? besides being like 'oh yeah. hes my brother. i guess.'

cuz im pretty sure he forgot about that dream about kaori so he either doesnt know or doesnt believe choso AND I WISH HE HAD THE MOTHER SON FIGHT IT SHOULDVE BEEN HIM THAT KILLED KENJAKU OKAY but whatever... !! 😊 i just want yuuji to really feel loved ig outside of the running joke that choso is just weird like todo. idk!

#either way if choso can die soon but yuuji feels sad about it that would be fine with me 🙏 #the thing that annoys me most is gege says one thing but writes another. so i wish he would just fulfill the things he says #by actually writing it yk. idk. #jjk spoilers #aricouldyounot

22. …in a rush of adrenaline for seb and lewis, please

"...must feel good, looking at the top step of the podium again after all these years," Nico Rosberg is saying.

"I'm sorry?" Seb says, unapologetic, and Nico repeats his opening statement. His tone says full, indulgent enthusiasm for Seb's first victory since 2019, but his smile isn't particularly real. "Oh! Yes, it was a great race, the car - and obviously Max had the penalty, but it was a hard fight with Lewis."

Lewis is lingering, waiting, just out of shot. Seb knows without looking that he is going to want to dissect every single attempted overtake. He can't wait to watch the start. He wants to know who else had pitted before the rain had stopped. He wants to know exactly how Lewis had kept Seb behind him for ten whole laps on worn-out softs. "Well, the fans love it," Nico says. Behind him, they're chanting his name: Vettel, Vettel, Vettel. Seb waves to the crowd and is rewarded with a roar of appreciative noise. "Do you think -"

"A really hard fight with Lewis," Seb says, not listening, soaring high above the crowd, or maybe somewhere around the apex of turn six, fighting off a black Mercedes. He glances over, and Lewis grins back at him, tired - and somewhat reluctant, because Lewis doesn't like coming second any better than Seb had liked coming fifteenth or twelfth or barely inside the points for three long years - but genuine for all that. "And the team - to produce such a car this year, a car that we are capable of winning races in, of challenging for second place in the championship - I have to say thank you for all of their hard work, they made it possible and this is just the beginning. It is on!"

They're still chanting his name as he walks off camera. The surge of it carries him again into the arms of his delighted team and then sends him spinning blurry-eyed into Lewis's grip. "You good to walk?" Lewis asks, laughter in his voice.

"Yes," Seb says, choked, and pulls Lewis into a hug, a proper one without helmets in the way. Lewis pounds on his back, saying something like so fucking good out there and happy for you, Seb and couldn't believe it in that last fucking corner, man, my tyres were completely gone and it feels like coming home and people are cheering and clapping and Seb wants to kiss Lewis Hamilton, suddenly, more than anything in the world.

He's won a race, and the prize is right there for the taking. Seb takes it without thinking any further, dizzy and euphoric, holding Lewis in place with his fingers tangled in the sweat-soaked braids at the back of Lewis's head.

The kiss is long enough that Seb thinks his intent is clear, but not long enough for Lewis to have chance to really react. Probably a good thing, in public. Seb presses their foreheads together, breathless; Lewis hasn't pulled away and he's got his fists clenched in the bunched-up material of Seb's damp, sweaty fireproofs, pulling them fiercely tight against one another. "I will see you in Austria," Seb says, gleeful.

"You'll see me before that," Lewis retorts. His eyes are shining. Seb is going to kiss him again, but he's going to do it properly, out of sight of all of the cameras and the wonderful, chanting, screaming crowd. He's going to take all of the things he wants, this year: podiums, trophies, Lewis. "What, was that meant to be some kind of threat?"

It's on. It's definitely on, all of it, all the things they've never had before. Seb wraps an arm around Lewis's waist and turns them both to face the crowd. "Yes, definitely," he agrees, feeling twenty-one again and reckless with it, and Lewis's answering smile is hungry, sharp from the thrill of the chase, terrifyingly, wonderfully fond. Seb closes his eyes, and soars.

#the au that hurts the most #seb vs lewis 2023 #flirting their way through every podium on the calendar #seb makes a thing out of kissing lewis every time he wins. no one knows what to make of it because are they - are they actually...? #like. surely not. but that sure is a lot of tongue in Singapore #the intricate rituals eh #(the first time lewis wins seb can barely walk for two days afterward) #sewis #my fic #wish fulfillment

Sell Last Twilight to me GO!

MOMENT OF PANIC AS THE PRESSURE GETS TO ME AND I FORGET EVERY SINGLE WORD I’VE EVER KNOWN IN ANY LANGUAGE SO I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME IF I STEAL SEA’S AND P’AOF’S ONES

the thing is.. i could honestly spend hours screaming about this show as i try to convince the world to give it a chance, but i do think all of my yelling can be more effectively summed up by what sea and p’aof said here. this is gonna be a story about two characters, one with disability and one with a criminal record, who, albeit in different ways, can’t see a future for themselves because our society tells them that there is no place for them in it, but by meeting each other they’re gonna come together to find a new appreciation for life and build a home in this world. so whatever people may think of the director or the actors involved in this project, i really wish everyone will be able to look past that and appreciate this show for what it is, which is ultimately a story about hope, and i think we all need some of that, especially right now

#I APOLOGIZE IF THIS WASN'T WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING FROM ME OR IF I DIDN'T SELL THE SHOW TOO WELL #IM REALLY TERRIBLE AT DOING THESE THINGS ;;;;;;;; #BUT SERIOUSLY A CHARACTER WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT COMING TO TERMS WITH HIS DISABILITY!!!!!! #GETTING TO EXPERIENCE THE WORLD IN DIFFERENT WAYS!!!!!!! LEARNING THAT HE CAN STILL LOVE AND HAVE A FULFILLING LIFE!!!!!!! #AND A CHARACTER WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD WHO WILL TAKE HIM ON THIS JOURNEY AND BY DOING THAT HE WILL LEARN ABOUT LOVE AND LIFE TOO!!!!!!! #WHAT MORE CAN YOU WISH FOR!!!!!!! #last twilight the series #bl show #m: ask

[marypsue]

Weird Science-style movie where a modern high school girl, who's obsessed with 80s movies, but especially one particular (made-up) 80s John Hughes-style high school comedy, and has a huge crush on its female love interest character, somehow manages some bullshit to bring that love interest character into the real world. (Maybe, in homage to the actual Weird Science, this is some nonsense involving a deliberate misunderstanding of how generative AI works.)

At first, our main girl is hype, because this character is very much along the lines of Kelly LeBrock's Lisa meets Molly Ringwald's Claire and basically her only personality traits are being hot, popular but not in a mean way, and attracted to whoever seems like the narratively appropriate scrappy underdog. Who, obviously, in this case, is Main Girl. Thanks to Character's expectations, wanting to keep Character's attention and admiration, and wanting to convince Character that she's the kind of person Character canonically likes, and also because covering for Character's presence keeps forcing her into Situations, Main Girl has to pluck up the courage to stand up to bullies, stand up to her overprotective parents, dance with Character in front of people, foment and lead a minor student rebellion against an oppressive administrative regime, etc. etc. etc.

Everything seems to be coming up Main Girl. But it all very quickly gets weird for her when she gradually comes to realise that Character basically doesn't have any will or opinions or desires of her own. So she sets out to get Character to experience what being a real person is all about, and figure out what she really wants. (And if Main Girl realises, along the way, that there are some things she never really thought all that hard about, but really doesn't like, about her favourite movie(s) and the ways they treat women...?)

By the end, of course, Main Girl has to decide to let Character go, so Character can continue to figure out who she is and what she wants outside of being romantically attached to somebody. But the things that Main Girl did over the course of the movie, thanks to Character's influence, have made her brave enough to approach another real live human girl who she figured never even knew she existed. The movie ends with Real Live Girl turning out to have seen some of what Main Girl got up to over the course of the movie, thinking Main Girl seems interesting, and agreeing that they should hang out and get to know each other better.

(Also, Main Girl shared the tech she used to bring Character into the real world with her online best friend who she met through writing fanfiction about the same movie. Only HE'S obsessed with the main scrappy underdog character who Character was the love interest for, and the very last scene ends with Scrappy Underdog standing in Online Best Friend's bedroom and asking him, "Why are you wearing a bra on your head?")

#honestly i bounced off Actual Weird Science despite being generally interested in 80s babes and wish fulfillment #and I think this is why #because my wish fulfillment very much does not involve the 80s babe being unable to say no to anything I say and having no will of her own #but I think this would be a fun way to address that. part homage part criticism 100% sexy 80s-obsessed lesbian wish fulfillment romcom. #however i will not be writing it because modern high school is an arcane black box to me
