~°~
if someone had told 8 year old you that your friendship with kylian, in all its deep-rootedness and proclamations of 'forever's, would meet its demise just short of your 17th birthday, you would've cackled like the wicked witch of the west herself, bearing your gapped teeth in complete humour.
your bond was imperishable, derived from unyielding interlocked hands and taut, warm hugs that you longed to ever drown into. everybody knew, if kylian was there, you would be stood right beside him as if you were his right hand man- no, but you were.
his second mother, you were called; as sweet as he was, he was hardheaded and stubborn, and there was never a week that didn't go by where you weren't, even as young as you were, chastising him for having an unrelenting mouth or fisted hands. it was his nature, no matter how much you told him to stop and he vowed that he would, but it made him, kylian, so really and truly, there was nothing that could be done.
as you both matured, entered highschool with newfound tribulations that you swore you would conquer together, you began to realise that maybe, he had priorities that, inevitably, meant that your time together was diminishing. it was glaringly palpable, to him, to you, and everyone that was on the outside looking in.
but you could see just how much he tried balancing the two. football and you, occupied so much space in his life that dropping one would leave a gaping intrusion, begging to be whole again. so, after evening training, you two found yourselves basking in the soft buzz of the 20th hour within the confinement of your room, music droning in the back with a gentle hum. it was times like this that made you appreciate kylian; just a growing boy from bondy, fighting to make a name for himself in something he loved so much, yet still had time for you. his other half, as he called you. it made your heart swell everytime.
"kylian, i swear, if you've taken the last é-"
he was quick to defend himself, "look! i took e not é." he showed you the small bead and you hummed in approval. he rolled his eyes, "always quick to accuse me of shit."
you gasped, taking a pillow and throwing it his head. he screeched, quick to rip it off him.
"no swearing, you know that! my mum's gonna hear you."
he looked down, noticing that his efforts had been chewed and spat right back out, "[y/n], you ruined my bracelet!"
you shrugged, continuing yours, "sorry, not sorry."
his glare was evident in your peripheral and you tried to hold back your laugh.
"if this is so funny to you," he threw the empty threaded strand unto the carpet, "i'm not doing it anymore."
he knew he had gotten to you as he noticed your eyes widen, stopping the task at hand.
"bro! i'm not gonna have one then, that's not fair!"
he snickered, "should've thought about that first." his arms were crossed, smirking.
you debated whether or not to stop and leave you both bracelet-less, or sacrifice your dignity and apologise. in the end, the latter ruled the verdict; this was something cute that you both hadn't done in a while, and this ocassional get together was supposed to be fruitful.
"fine, i'm sorry."
he grinned, picking up the string once again to begin his, "there you go, wasn't that hard, was it?"
you gave him a look, muttering his words as you mimicked him before saying, "just continue the damn thing."
2 hours later and you were sure enough to say that your fingers were absolutely aching, kylian vocalising his pain. god, were his whines so irritating.
"kylian, please just give me your wrist," you sighed. he shuffled closer to you, arm stretched out. you tied yours securely, making sure to keep the word you had put facing down. you both agreed to make it a suprise.
with his tightly tied to your skin, in which he later had to loosen due to your discomfort, you counted down before sliding them against your wrists to see.
"chef? that's cute," you beamed. it didn't matter that you were younger than him, you were always telling him what to do, and he had always jokingly called you 'boss'.
he smiled back at you, but then it fell as he looked at his, "[y/n]?"
you struggled to hold back your giggles, "what? you don't like it?"
he looked at you from the corner of his eyes, "petit frèrot? really? out of everything you could've used, you used that?"
laughing, you gripped his wrist, turning it to look at it yourself, "it suits you, kylian!"
"i'm not shorter than you anymore," he whined. it was a memory he hated being brought to light; you always had an inch or two on him up until you both hit 14, and somehow, you remained stunted yet he had grown to be a whole head taller than you.
"it's for... memory's sake, ky."
"i don't want to wear it."
you frowned, "don't be stupid, kylian. you're never taking it off."
his tone is indignant, "don't be too sure about that."
+_-
it may be fraying and fuzzed at the edges. it may be fading, colours that were once bright and vivid now ghosted and phantom, but you swore that if it was ever cut off, it would be the end of you too.
yes, you both no longer talked. it was an occurence so vigorously impactful that even your parents had ceased contact because if their kids didn't talk, why should they?
you knew that with the life that kylian had planned for himself, as much you both ignored it, there was no space in it for you. he had to travel to play in clubs that didn't reside within the borders of paris, or even france. your academics strangled you with deadlines and projects that had you begin to fade into the distance of kylian's mind, so he couldn't take the full blame for it. you were the reason why too, and you wished you had fought harder to sustain such a friendship.
no hard feelings were established, you presumed. the drift was gradual and something that couldn't be helped. you knew kylian wouldn't hate you, and he knew you wouldn't either.
you kept your tabs on him, however. he didn't know where you were anymore, hell if you were even alive, but with a name as big as messi's and ronaldo's, you would've been living under rocks if you didn't know how he was fending.
once every few months, you search him up. you would see he was doing well, and you would smile, pained with nostalgia, fiddle with the aging bracelet that seemed to burn its imprint into your skin, and close the google tab. it wouldn't leave your mind for the next few weeks, but you didn't mind. as long as you knew he was okay, then you were too.
+_-
football, as much as it was your ex best friend's, wasn't your forte. you didn't know a single team to name, or a player that wasn't the two infamous rivals, so finding yourself, clad in the white jersey of real madrid was completely unusual nature.
"it'll be fun, [y/n]," your friend had urged. it wasn't the first time kalani had begged you to watch a game of her favourite team, but this time, you decided to give in to her pleas and see for yourself.
"sure," you stated dismissively. you needed these 3 hours to pass as quick as they could, essays weren't going to write themselves.
the stadium atmosphere was suffocating, to be entirely honest. it was filled to the absolute brim with the blue and white opposing colours, to which you had no idea which team the blue was supposed to represent. you were only here for support, not the experience.
you could see the players training and preparing themselves on the pitch, seriousness punctured with banter and playful chasing. it reminded you of kylian again. you smiled at that thought.
then, as if time itself were a blur, kick off had started and instantaneously both team were hungry for the ball. you were, of course, rooting for madrid, and everytime the ball was in their possession, couldn't fight down the urge to scream with passion. it was like football had ignited something deep and buried within you, and it took you back to the days were you were screaming for kylian to score until your voice grew hoarse and dessicated.
+_-
you didn't even support the damned team yet you were completely drunk off victory. won with 2 goals to your name and the smile that had found its way unto your and kalani's faces hadn't left.
in a haze of excitement and thrill, she had left you to go to the toilet. you had no idea where you were, and you thought the safest place to go was back to the entrance.
"fucking hell."
the stadium was bigger than you thought, and with your short memory span, you had found yourself lost. how you couldn't even get the exit was beyond you.
in the distance you heard a cluster of voices, and your brain immediately thought to go in that direction, where there was people, there was help. your steps were hurried, you're sure you looked absolutely frightened out of your mind, and you quickly take the sharp left, colliding into a body.
"oh shit- i'm so sorry," you hurried out apologies. the person in front of you was quick to stop you, "no, no, you're good."
you stilled. age did absolutely nothing to the distinct accent of his. and it's then you drank in the sight of him fully.
"kylian?"
his face morphed into one of familiarity and utter shock, then his eyes widened.
"no way- [y/n]?"
you airily chuckled, still stupified, "in the flesh, ky."
his arms were quick to take you in them, embrace muscled and strong. your arms wrapped around his neck as you swayed from side to side.
a cough from beside you dragged you both back down from your reverie.
"kylian? who's this?" their voice was playful and the man rolled his eyes, grinning widely.
"achraf, this is [y/n], my best friend from early-"
"until you ditched me."
"i did not," he defended.
achraf chuckled, "won't be surprised if he did."
you laughed wholeheartedly, kylian groaning at his two best friends tag teaming against him.
"you two literally just met," his gaze was on you, fully coming to terms with the fact that you were standing right in front of him. no longer 16, but now 8 years later, unrecognisable but in the best way possible.
"how did you get here?" achraf asked, and you grinned sheepishly.
"got lost. i came here with my friend to watch real madrid and she ditched me to go to take a shit or something, i have no idea."
kylian huffed at you revelation, "siding with the enemy, i see. i thought you were my supporter."
you tried not to react to his words, but the growing seansation of butterflies made you feel nauseous.
"suck it up, ky. don't be a sore loser," you jeered, punching him softly in his arm.
he raised and eyebrow, "i guess i'll leave you here."
achraf was quick to deflect it, however, "no you're not. you're going to help this young lady and see her out, kylian," he tutted, "be a gentleman."
you smirked at your best friend, "listen to him, ky. he has wisdom to share."
he kissed his teeth, turning around to walk away. you grabbed his wrist to stop him, "okay, okay, i'm sorry!"
you laugh, squeezing his flesh as you felt something thin line his skin. you looked down and the sight of your sentiment, its state just like yours, left you breathless.
"you still wear that little bracelet i made you?" you couldn't stop smiling.
he looked at you, straight in your eyes as if his following words weren't enough. he needed you to feel the genuineness of it all.
"i could never take it off. it's like my good luck charm."
chef- boss
petit frèrot- little bro

Yours Truly
This is part 11 to my Skz poly fic. I'm glad you guys seem to enjoy it these have been kinda soothing writing. This one's kinda short but I promise next chapter will be longer.
Previous<<<<< Next>>>>>
Warnings: mentions of sex, doesn't go in description though
It had been 4 days since that date. You were kinda surprised and upset that you hadn't gotten a text or a call from any of the boys. Maybe you should've texted? Well that's what you were doing now.
You only had 2 of their numbers. Felix and Changbins. You decided to text Changbin knowing he'd probably text back sooner or at least you had hoped he would.
'Hey Bin I was wondering if you wouldn't mind making a chat with all of the boys?'
You watch as you look back at your computer screen. You were elbow deep in notes and typing up papers for work. You weren't even at the office though. You had gotten an email from your boss letting you know that the office was still closed and it probably would be for a while longer.
You didn't mind though. You didn't hate the work but you hated the people. They were all stuck up thinking they were too good and talking behind each other's backs. If the money wasn't good you'd probably quit. It was such a toxic working environment.
Your phone lights up.
'Of course I don't mind.' Changbin texts back.
His text brought a smile to your face. Within seconds you get texts from all 8 boys.
'Hi Y/N it's Chan' one text says.
'Im sure you already know who I am 💋' you chuckle of course you knew who it was.
'No she doesn't all she knows is that you sent a kissing emoji Ji' You laugh at that knowing it was Felix. Of course it was Felix who had always joked with Jisung.
'Don't be stupid already you two I'm Hyunjin' the text says.
'We'll come in Seungmins room right now' Felix texts and you laugh.
'I wish you guys would' Hyunjin texts back.
'Do not come in my room' a text says from who you assume is Seungmin.
'Dont test us' Jisung texts.
'You guys won't' Hyunjin texts back then there's no reply from either of them.
Instead there's another text. 'See now this is why I lock my room door 😑' Seungmin says and you laugh.
'Ignoring our 3 ridiculous boyfriends I'm Minho' a text says.
'It's Jeongin, I.n. or Innie whichever you'd like to call me' Jeongin says and you smile at his words remembering how the boys had called him Innie when you first met.
'Hi Innie' you text back.
'Hi Y/N' Jeongin says back.
'You already have my number but it's Changbin.'
'Well I'm sure you guys all know who I am then' you text in the group chat.
'Of course we do' Chan texts back.
'Hows work going' Jisung who is now back asks you.
'Its been taking up most of my time even though I'm not at the office and probably won't be for a while' you text back.
'Oh why aren't you at the office' Minho asks.
'They're adding a new floor which will probably end up taking a month or so' you text back.
'Well if you're not busy tomorrow could you stop by and help me redye my hair blonde the roots are starting to show and I hate the uneven colors' Felix texts.
'Why not me again' Changbin asks.
'As much as I love and cherish you and would do literally anything for you I'm not letting you help me again you almost had my hair fall out' Felix texts and you laugh.
'I literally read the directions' Changbin says.
'You read the directions but didn't set a timer after 30 minutes I asked you how much longer you said like 10 minutes then after the 10 I asked you again and you said a little bit longer it was almost an hour before I washed out the hair dye and I was terrified my hair was going to fall out 😭' Felix says.
'That's fair' Changbin says and you laugh.
'So will you Y/N please 🥺' Felix asks you.
'I'll try my best to get all my work done for tomorrow done today and then head over there and help you tomorrow 😊' You reply back.
'Thank you so much!' Felix says and it makes you smile.
'Of course' you text.
'Since you're coming over tomorrow why don't you help me cut the ends of my hair' Jisung says.
'Dont you guys have hairdressers?' you ask.
'Yeah but they're not you' Jisung says and it makes you smile.
'Okay I'll come help you but I'm reminding you Ji I'm not a hairdresser' You say to him.
'Don't be upset when your bald tomorrow Ji' Hyunjin texts and you laugh.
'Im not that bad' you say.
'Hey if I'm bald tomorrow at least I'll be bald and happy knowing Y/N cut it' Jisung says and you laugh.
'Ji I love you and I'd do anything for you but if you go bald you won't ever see me again' Hyunjin says.
'So you love me for my hair is what I'm hearing' Jisung texts.
'Please do not make Jisung bald' Minho says.
'I wasn't planning on it😂' You text.
'I'd be upset bc I like pulling his hair during sex' Hyunjin says and your surprised by that text but quickly realize it was Hyunjin and Jisung asking you and teasing you about Felix so you weren't as surprised.
'Really Hyunjin? Now was the time to text that' Chan texts.
'Now or never and it's true so what's the problem' Hyunjin texts.
'Well I'm not making Jisung bald so you'll still be able to pull his hair' You text.
'See Y/N gets what I'm saying are you a hair puller too?' Hyunjin asks. You laugh.
'You don't have to answer that' Seungmin texts.
'I don't mind but to answer your question it depends on the person' You texts back.
No one texts back for a second. Maybe you shouldn't have answered that.
'You're driving me crazy' Hyunjin texts back.
'You're not the only one' Jisung texts.
'You have no idea the effect you have on us do you' Minho texts.
You're surprised by all those texts and look away from your phone for a moment trying to calm yourself.
Another buzz brings you back to reality.
'Stop being horny we need Y/N to finish her work so she can can come over tomorrow' Felix texts.
'Don't pretend you weren't affected by it Lix' Hyunjin texts.
'Like I said let's let her finish her work'
'Fine' Hyunjin says.
'Bye Y/N!!!' Jisung texts.
'Bye Y/N see you tomorrow' Felix texts.
'See you tomorrow' Hyunjin texts.
'Bye Y/N have a good night' Chan texts.
'Hopefully if I'm not busy with work I'll see you tomorrow' Minho texts.
'I'll see you tomorrow Y/N' Jeongin texts.
'We'll see you tomorrow' Seungmin texts.
'Sorry for the craziness we'll talk tomorrow' Changbin texts.
'Bye you guys I'll see hopefully all of you tomorrow' You text back.
With that you turn off your phone going back to your computer. You really needed to finish all your work for tomorrow so you could go over there.
You didn't realize how much you loved seeing the boys and how much you missed talking to them. They all had their unique personalities and you loved that.
You needed to finish this work so you could see them so you push them from your thoughts for now typing again on your computer.

EXPLOSION
Tumblr media
BRIAN was trying to help Letty. When everyone found out, it didn't go down well. Dom thought it was a lie at first and it ended up in a fight that Carson had to stop. Their feud was cut short when they had to get shit done. Braga kept gunning for them. Dom got shot, well grazed but that didn't stop Mia and Keelie from fussing over him. Carson grilled him and ranted about wearing a bulletproof vest but he was in too much pain to listen.
The days were getting more dangerous.
Carson fought one of Braga's men alongside Brian who was almost taken out and it terrified her. First Dom and now Brian could've been next. Every time she tried thinking about anything else she was reminded of what happened to Jesse.
Fuck.
She walked past the garage filled with the guys. They saw the worry on her face but she ignored them all.
Keelie begrudgingly let Brian follow her into the kitchen.
"You okay?" he asked, seeing her lean against the counter, staring out the window.
She sighed, turning around to face him, "You can't seem to stay away can you?"
"I wanted to check on you," he explained, readjusting his hoodie.
"So you and Dom made up?" she deflected.
A smile briefly graced his face, "I guess."
"Like some married couple," she muttered, fumbling with her hands.
"You did always say we had a bromance," he said, coming closer.
She hummed, "Got that right."
"You get a lotta things right."
She frowned, "No, no I didn't." I was wrong about you. That went without saying.
"You didn't answer my question," he pressed, worried about her.
"Why do you care if I'm okay?" Her face scrunched up, "It's been years Brian."
"Yeah, it has. But I haven't stopped caring. when you left town I was a mess. In Miami, I begged Suki to tell me where you were, just to see if you were okay," he now towered over her, caging her in against the counter like he did all those years ago. Brian knew what he was doing and she couldn't help but let it happen. "I haven't stopped caring about you because I haven't stopped loving you."
Tears pooled in her brown pools, "Don't say that."
His hands reached to cup her cheeks, "You love me too. I know you're still in love with me, and If you weren't, you would've let me take that bullet today. You didn't. You saved me when one of Braga's men tried taking me out." He could've died today. They both could've died today. Every second counted, every moment mattered. And he couldn't allow her to slip through his fingers like she did before. He needed her. "Just when I thought I couldn't love you anymore, Sonny."
"I told you what I'd do if you called me that," she mumbled, leaning into his touch.
"Want me to go and get my badge?" She couldn't help but laugh at that. "I think it's in the middle of some Ocean. I don't know."
"Really?" She asked quietly, heart beating out of her chest as their fronts pressed against each other.
"Should've seen me throw that thing like some pitcher for the mets," he kept joking.
Carson tried hiding her smile, but he could see straight through her.
"You've aged, you know that, right?" It was her turn to joke, but they both knew she was being serious.
His hair was shorter than ever. A few lines creased his forehead. But to her, he still looked fine as hell. After all, he was 30.
"Yeah, you haven't," he smiled, shocked that she still looked the same after 5 years.
"Obviously," She paused, "Your eyes have stayed the same. Still beady and shit."
"Beady?" he grinned, rubbing his thumbs over her cheeks, "I thought you said I was a pretty boy."
"Maybe."
"Maybe, huh?" he was leaning in, closer and closer. "We're pretty people."
"We are."
"Especially you," he whispered, tipping her head up, so their lips almost touched.
"You got that right," she murmured, "but there's something you need to know," he nodded, trailing his hands over her arms and down to the hem of her shirt. "You know that present you got me, the ornament thing? I dashed it out the window when I left LA."
Her confession didn't stop him from pulling off his hoodie.
"I'll get you another one," he promised, kicking the door shut and dragging a chair under the handle.
She gasped when returned to her and his lips peppered over her neck, “You’ll get me another one?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re gonna get me more?” She panted, letting him lift up her shirt.
“And more,” he nodded, pulling his shirt over his head, “and more and more.”
Her arms finally snaked around his shoulder, pulling him into a feverish kiss that both of them had been waiting for, yearning for. Years of love, hatred and wanting poured between them. It was hot and sloppy and they didn't stop. They couldn't stop.
Clothes dropped to the floor, and shoes were kicked to the side before he picked her up and set her on the counter, grinding against her.
"Fuck," she moaned when his fingers moved to pleasure her, nipping at her thighs and pushing aside her thong. She whimpered at his touch. He didn't care for silencing her. He wanted to hear more. She shifted forwards at the feeling of him pinching her clit. "God, don't stop."
"Wasn't planning on it," His eyes hooded when her back arched, letting a finger slip through her core. His pace sped up, drawing more delicious noises from her lips. "Look at me," his demand forced her fluttering eyes open, "That's it, look at me," he added another finger, basking in the arousal dripping between her thighs.
"More," she pleaded.
"More?" His mocked, pulling his hand away. Whining, she pouted with glossy eyes. "You'll get what you want, baby."
The pet name swelled her heart.
But the sight of him pulling down his boxers and feeling of him unclipping her bra made her spread her shaky legs.
Brian couldn't take his eyes off of her.
"Look at me like that, and I'll have the whole house hearing us."
"It's too late for that, Sonny," he chuckled, pulling her in for another kiss, moaning against her lips when she reached for his dick and lined him up against her, "You don't know what you do to me." With one deep thrust, she whimpered, and he grunted against her. "You're so beautiful. Fuck I love you," Words spewed out of his mouth before he could think. "So tight," he didn't pick up the pace, he was slow and passionate.
Her nails dug into his back as his head dropped into the crook of her neck, sucking and nipping against her skin.
His hands hooked around her thighs and angled her up, making his movements deeper. He couldn't stop, her moans fuelled him.
"Baby," he rasped, voice thick and breathy, it managed to turn her on even more, "You're close," he could feel it. "Let go," his thrusts were getting sloppier.
A minute passed and the pair were a panting mess, Brian had spilt into her without regret. Cresent-shaped marks dotted around his back and bruises scattered over her chest and neck.
"Claiming your territory huh?" she jested, to which he laughed at. "I love you," she admitted for the first time, taking him by surprise. "I'm still in love with you."
Their lips met once again in a gentle kiss.
"I love you," he repeated over and over again.
And just when he was about to clean her up, the door rattled, but the chair prevented whoever was in the other side from opening it.
"If I see a white ass or pale cheek when I get in, someone is getting shot," they heard Keelie scream, making them both laugh.
a/n:
sometimes when i write smut i cringe myself out but tell me your thoughts on sonny and brian making up.

Some of my notes from watching Zeta Gundam very, very slowly (up until ep. 34)
(Needless to say that it contains spoilers and that I get very annoying about the female characters because that's my thing)
Tumblr media
-I'm 6 episodes into Zeta Gundam and I still don't know what to make of Kamille. On the other hand, it took me a look at some screenshots of SD Gundam Kamille to know that I'd die for him.
-I was very surprised to see Kamille openly declaring that he's autistic. Why don't we have more of that?
-20 episodes in, now (watching v. slowly). So... Z isn't exactly that great about women... right? 0079 left me gladly surprised on that front, but my expectations were super low. Maybe I should turn off that part of my brain while watching this.
- I hate to say this about a female character but so far Beltorchika is so annoying. Wake up, sis! You can't fix the dude, you barely know him! He's not opening up to you, and please leave the 15 year old out of your problems with Amuro!
-"I learned karate and how to make Mobile Suits to become a man!". Kamille isn't beating the transmasc allegations /J
-It makes sense that Kamille resents her mother for apparently caring more about her job than her family, but this does speak more of that general anxiety about women in the workplace than of anything else. Might be a common cliché at the time, still don't like it.
-She's allowed to be a terrible mom, but maybe for other more nuanced reasons? Also the fact that Kamille mentions that Fa made things that his mother should've done for him... it's gonna be really awkward if Kamille/Fa is the endgame ship.
-So, if both Kamille's parents were responsible for the development of the MK-II, then when he fights in it, one can say that his parents are still protecting him. On the other hand, we could also consider the MK-II as Kamille's little br- *gets shot*
-Ep 21: The titular Zeta Gundam appears. -Male Feminist guy is creepy. -Bright has the vibes of an exhausted High School teacher. - Fa rescues Kamille in space. This two are soo endgame
-Bright: Emma, you should do something about Kamille and Fa. Emma: Nah. I'm not Kamille's mom, besides, teens like to make drama as a form of recreation.
Emma is so cool. (Also, she and Reccoa should kiss)
-If there's a fanfic out there about Bright Noah being a clueless high school teacher/principal, please let me know. That's like the perfect AU for him.
-Girls can also fuck up in the battlefield and get slapped as a form of military disciplinary tactic! Hashtag equality. (But seriously though, I wasn't expecting Fa to become a pilot. Interesting).
-In the comment section of the dubious site where I'm watching this show, people are saying that Zeta is ahead of its time. And yeah, in many aspects it is. On the other hand it took Gundam 40+ years to have a girl protag. Suletta Mercury should've been invented like 30 or 20 years ago.
-Meanwhile, Scirocco is high-key trying to get Jerid killed and failing. They're both huge losers.
-Also, Kamille is slowly and steadily growing on me.
-Kamille becomes more mature and thoughtful. - The story brings Katz to be the new impulsive boy who fucks everything up. -Katz matures after a couple of episodes. -Now there's a pair of annoying kids whose only purpose is to awake Fa's maternal instinct (???) It never ends!
-On the other hand, I did enjoy those five seconds where Quattro was babysitting those kids. Would've preferred more of that.
-I love that in-universe everyone refers to teenage drama as "recreation". Even Kamille at some point admits that he and Fa are engaging in such recreation. At least their relationship is evolving in a healthier way than Amuro and Fraw's in 0079.
-Between Reccoa possibly having feelings for Scirocco and Mauar protecting Jerid, it's evident that in this universe everyone suffers from having Bad Taste in Men. Y'all could do better, queens!
-Also everyone punches and slaps each other so much. And it's not a love language. It's just another language that everyone just use. (There's even a punch compilation in tumblr, it's hilarious).
-I really hope to eventually get an explanation of what's up with those kids that Char brought from Earth, because so far their only purpose is to fuel Fa's maternal instincts.
-Episode 33! We're finally meeting those funny guys from Axis. This is also full of high quality Char moments.
-*Char has flashbacks of him playing with toddler!Mineva and also gets angry when he realizes how much they have manipulated her* Aww, daddy Char.
* Char unnecesarily beats the crap out of Kamille, five minutes later* Hey! What the hell, Char?!
-Char: "I have never betrayed anyone in my entire life! Ever!
lol, a classic.
-Help! Char is starting to have a similar effect on me as the one that other horrible and pathetic fictional white men have on tumblrinas.
-Seriously though, if UC Gundam were more popular in the western hemisphere, Char Aznable would totally be a Tumblr Sexyman. *shudders*
-Me: I see, so Reccoa actually has a death wish, she recklessly jumps into the battlefield on a desperate attempt to find her own demise, but she doesn't know it.
Z Gundam: Actually Scirocco is brainwashing her with space magic and she's sexually frustrated with Char.
Wha-?
-Reccoa has so many death flags that I'm always surprised whenever she survives. Her fake "death" and its consequences were really well done. I particularly liked Kamille's reaction.
-Maybe the most effective death flag in Zeta is being close to Jerid. That's more letal than the birthday song or being near Amuro's range.
And that's all for now. Join me next time as I try to watch Z less slowly so I might be able to watch "Char's Counterattack" before Christmas 2023.

Last night I was watching Dylan Hollis on TikTok and it brought back a memory from my childhood that I forgot about until then, and then I thought, can I make some soft Harringrove out of this? And the answer is yes. Yes I can. Enjoy.
Steve had honestly thought that Billy had left ages ago. He'd just gotten up off the couch and mumbled something about being right back and then he just... disappeared.
At first hadn't thought much of it, maybe that he just needed space to process after Steve had pulled him over to cuddle while they watched a movie. Their relationship was still fairly new and Billy wasn't always the most touchy-feely person to begin with, so Steve thought that maybe he'd just overstepped a boundary by accident, and after a few minutes, Billy'd just needed a second to collect himself.
But Billy never came back. And after almost 30 minutes by himself, Steve kind of stopped expecting him to.
He was all set to just turn off the TV and just go to bed so he could try and figure out how to apologize to Billy the next time he saw him. He still wasn't exactly sure if he did anything wrong, but he figured it might just be better to bite the bullet on this one. Especially because it was Billy. Whoever said boys were less complicated than girls was a filthy liar. But just as Steve was about to get up, Billy strolled back in, all smiles as his socked feet shuffled on the carpet and his body nothing but relaxed as he flopped back down on the couch next to Steve.
"Where were you?" Steve asked as soon as he sat down, still slightly surprised that he was still there as he paused the movie.
"What do you mean?" Billy asked, trying not to laugh at the look Steve was giving him, as if he'd just swallowed the remote control.
"You said you'd be right back, but then you were gone for, like, a long time," Steve shrugged, "I honestly thought you left."
"Nah, man, I just had to take a shit," Billy grinned, his nose wrinkling up as he suppressed a laugh.
"For a half hour? Jesus, what did you eat?" Steve said, finally starting to catch some of Billy's happy attitude.
"Okay, so you know how I told you that Susan got a job at a nursing home?" Billy asked, a goofy smile on his face that Steve could definitely get used to.
"Yeah? But what does this have to do with you missing half the movie?" He asked.
"I'm about to tell you," Billy said, giggling like a fourth grader, "So, one of the things she gets to do is take whatever kitchen leftovers end up in the fridge in the break room. So every week or so, she brings home a styrofoam cup full of mashed prunes and makes me and Max eat some before bed every night. Max gets one spoonful and I have to choke down two of them. Every time she pulls that damn cup out of the freezer I want to scream, but I have to eat it or else Susan will get pouty and I start to feel guilty. But you'd be amazed what two spoonfuls of prunes does to a person. It's not pretty."
By this point, Billy and Steve were both laughing so hard they could hardly breathe, both at the absurdity of it all and at the other boy. Steve watched through the tears in his eyes at the way Billy's nose scrunched up and his curls bounced as he laughed hard enough to make his stomach hurt, and wondered how he could think he could leave. They'd been having a great night, and Billy was a completely different person when it was just the two of them. He never ran when it was just them. He should've known it was nothing.
"Oh, man, I needed that," Billy said as his laughter calmed down a little bit.
"So did I. I haven't laughed that hard since... Well, ever. I love that you can make me laugh like that." Steve said, taking Billy's hand and squeezing it. Billy squeezed back, his eyes bright and crinkling at the edges.
"Same here," he said, "But I have a question. Why did you think I left?"
"Well, like I said, you were gone for a while, and you got up just a few minutes after I pulled you over to cuddle with me. I thought you just got upset because I know you aren't always the most open to physical affection and I thought I creeped you out or something," Steve said, unable to look at Billy after that. He felt kinda bad about assuming the worst, and even worse for being kinda nervous to talk about it now. But again, he should've known not to worry, because Billy just smiled brighter and grabbed his chin to gently guide him into a kiss.
"You never have to worry about that when we're alone, Pretty Boy. I'd never turn you down when it's just the two of us. You make me feel safe and I like that feeling. And you're also really warm, so it's nice to cuddle you when we're watching movies and stuff, because then I never need a blanket," Billy said, nudging Steve's nose with his own and kissing him again.
"You mean that?" Steve asked, his heart feeling a little bit lighter as butterflies started fluttering in his stomach.
"Of course," Billy grinned, kissing him one last time before pushing him over so that he was lying down on the couch, then climbing on top of him. He wrapped Steve's arms around his shoulders and tangled their legs together, then rested head on Steve's chest and snuggled into the sweatshirt he was wearing. "Is this okay?"
"Yeah," Steve grinned like a dope as he shifted just a bit to get more comfortable with Billy on top of him, "Yeah, this is perfect."
"Good. Now, tell me about the half of the movie I missed so that I'm not lost throughout the rest of it," Billy said.
Steve happily obliged the request, recapping the first part of the movie in great detail and beginning to run his fingers through Billy's hair. He couldn't help but smile as he swore Billy started purring like a cat under his touch, and by the time he finished his explanation, Billy was out cold. Steve was starting to get a little sleepy himself, so he clicked off the TV and figured they could just finish the movie another time before turning off the light on the table behind him and closing his eyes.
And if the next day, Steve woke up with a leg cramp and Billy drooling all over his chest, well, he supposed it was worth it, because it meant that Billy had stayed.

Quiet Comfort
Hi everyone! Tamlin Week has begun and I'm very excited! I love our golden boy and while I have full length fic with him (This is a self ad go read A Court of Threads & Daisies 👀) I can't wait to try my hand at making mini fics with our cutie! 💚 Today on the agenda hurt/comfort Tamcien with beastly Tam. Hope you like!
@tamlinweek2023
Tamlin Week 2023- Day 1- Beast/Forbidden
Quiet Comfort (Set 20 years before book 1)
Lucien noticed the tears streaming down Tamlin's wolf like face. The High Lord had remained in his beastly form whenever he felt one of their own fall for the sake of the curse.
He stood up from his desk, laying down on the fluffy carpet beside Tamlin and gently drying his eyes.
Tamlin tried to stop the tears to no avail. He knew this was inevitable but from first to whatever last if they ever managed to see the end of it, he would grieve.
"I'm so tired." Tamlin spoke in a ragged roaring voice in this form. It always cought him off guard.
"Do you want to go to sleep?"
"No, no that's not what I meant." He said, looking at Lucien with his shimmering emerald eyes. "I'm tired of losing them because of the curse."
Ah. That he understood all too well. Almost everyday they'd lose a sentry, and after 30 years everyone was begining to lose hope, them included.
"I know what you mean, it dosen't get any easier."
Lucien found comfort in just looking at his High Lord. The green gaze, the fluffy golden frame, his antlers, even his downcast tail. No matter what form he took, he was always in awe. 'That's not awe you just love him.'
Lucien tried to shake the thought away. They had an unspoken agreement not to dwell on this, they had to break the curse for the sake of the court not mourn a romance that would never bloom again thanks to the blasted spell.
Tamlin looked at him in the same way, as if he could read his thoughts. He was trying, really trying to let go. But how can you let go when you actually found the love of your life?
Amarantha must've known, she must've seen how he would never be hers, how he'd been in love with the seventh Autumn prince since he first met him, how hurting Lucien insited more rage out of him than anything else she'd ever done. Perhaps if he'd been more guarded none of this would've happened...
"It's not your fault." Lucien told him. "She's the monster, not you."
"If I had submitted from the start, then the court wouldn't be in peril. It is my duty to protect them."
"Then who protects you?! Tamlin, you can't seriously think sacrificing yourself for our sake is prefrerable!"
Tamlin just kept looking at Lucien, at his lovely face covered by the fox mask, his golden eye and his russet one, the messy red curls and the soft dark skin. "Your mere presence is protection enough. I can withstand anything if I have you. I could even lived out the rest of my days in this form, without objection, if you're with me."
He should've told him off, he should've refused, or just reminded him that the love they had for eachother was now forbidden. They had to think of the court, they shouldn't be selfish and yet...
Lucien leaned closer, gently kissing Tamlin's lips. He didn't care that the latter was in beast form, or that there might come a day were he couldn't kiss him anymore. For now, all he wanted was to comfort him. "No matter what happens, what form you take, or whatever curses we face, I shall always love you."
"Me too." Tamlin didn't hesitate. Even if he did exactly as the curse entailed, even if he and Lucien ended up with different people, they'd never stop loving eachother in their own way.
Tamlin couldn't kiss him in this form, so he just gave him an affectionate lick. Lucien laughed relishing in the soft affections he missed so much.
The two were already sleepy, driffiting away upon the office floor. They both dozed off in an odd hug, given the size difference when Tamlin was in this form. By morning they'd have to forget, to keep trying to break the curse and forget their ill fated romance.
But for tonight they'd bask in eachothers warmth, and forget that moments like this would come to an end someday.

your by far the best Gaara blog around with the most realistic view imo. Some people take their favorite characters way too serous and think they can do no wrong or they can defeat any opponent or they get really mad about ships they don't like and it's exhausting. its just nice to see you aren't raging every time someone has something bad to say about Gaara and its funny when you agree with them lol. You the true fan
ohhhh anon! Anon! Anon you mentioned the power scalers! Oh no, please forgive me. Anon...I love that you love this blog, but now I gotta rant. I am so sorry.
For real this might be the most malicious opinion I have, but... I can't deal with the power scalers. This is probably because I personally am not super interested in the whole "who is the toughest opponent Gaara could 1v1 without Shukaku, pre Shippuden, post-Naruto, while he stands on one leg and he already has been in 7 other battles in the past 30 minutes and Temari and Kankuro are dead and the moon is full and btw he also doesn't have any sand."
Of course I'm exaggerating, but honestly, power scaling just invites so much room for fighting it's not even funny. It's why sometimes curiosity gets the best of me and I end up on the Naruto subreddit only to slowly back away because there's just....so many power scalers and they're all fighting about the same fights, day in and day out.
And I know. I KNOW this is a Shonen manga...A lot of people are in it for the fights, but I feel like a lot of the nuance and themes of the series are lost on "who can beat who in a fight with just brass knuckles?"
Naruto wouldn't be the series it is without the themes surrounding friendship, love, betrayal, destiny and hard work over natural talent. These are the reasons the characters fight in the first place. Plus, a lot of the canon fights were won because of plot armor or as plot devices. Not to mention Naruto used to be about actual ninjas doing ninja stuff rather than sheer power...Remember when Naruto fooled Kiba in the chunin exams? Blew my freaking mind how brilliant that was!
Anyways... I always see people ranting about the canon fights and it's just so banal to me. For example, "Lee should've beat Gaara in the Chunin Exams."
And that's okay...Fair enough, you could argue that, but like....Where does the rest of the series go, though? HOW DO WE PROGRESS IF LEE WON CAUSE OF POWER SCALING?
You wouldn't get Gaara's hospital scene so you would never really know his motive for why he is the way he is...Then Shukaku would just erupt during the Chunin exams, I guess, and that would be that...No fight between Gaara and Naruto, no redemption. Really there would just be no story at all at that point.
It's like people take character losses as personal slights, which I understand because Deidara will always get two massive thumbs down because of what he did to my boy, but also Gaara's defeat and kidnapping just needed to happen. It demonstrated that the series had high stakes cause Kishimoto could just lampoon my favourite character at any point in time, and I'd be like "that's it, I quit!" only to realize that he's actually ok in the end. Actually, Gaara's defeat made me love him more because I felt more empathy for him that he tried so hard to defend his village only to die in the end, and also because no matter how much he had changed he will always have to deal with the legacy of once being bonded to Shukaku.
It's just feels like a richer experience to have characters fall on their faces and lose sometimes.
And as for Lee losing in the Chunin exams...Man...was that ever a battle because honestly I loved both characters. I didn't want either of them to lose, and I really felt for Lee. Yet, he was better off losing because we got the rest of the story surrounding Gaara, and we got that amazing poetic justice when Gaara comes and saves him from Kimimaru.
Plus, that fight humbled Gaara which is just great, cause he was a lil' brat in the beginning, which is fine cause I loved him anyways.
Thanks for this message...Sorry it literally turned into a raging rant though LOL

I saw this post about how Would've, could've, should've by Taylor Swift, is definitely a Darlin and Quinn song, and i agree.
If we assume that darlin is around the wolf boys age (so around 29/30), this means they moved to Dahlia when they were around 14 (in 2007) which meant that they would have found it hard to fit in with people who have already know each other since they were little kids. This may have led to them being isolated and believing it was them against the world. Who else do we assume had the same thoughts?
Quinn.
So on the timeline, it says that in 2020, Darlin and Quinn had a 'dalliance', but we don't know how long it happened for, but we know it ended in 2020. This would have made Darlin around 27 when their friend had gotten attacked by Quinn, which led to Darlin reporting him to DUMP. This is where the lyrics
"If you never touched me, I would've
Gone along with the righteous
If I never blushed, then they could've
Never whispered about this
And if you never saved me from boredom
I could've gone on as I was
But, Lord, you made me feel important
And then you tried to erase us"
Talking about how Quinn helped Darlin feel as though they finally belonged somewhere and saved them from feeling isolated and bored from their own pack. Darlin finally felt important to someone, which is something they never felt with the pack. It was a foreign feeling to them, and Quinn took advantage of it.
"I would've stayed on my knees
And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
At nineteen
And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven"
Although we don't know what age Darlin was when they met Quinn, we can assume it was around their early 20s, which is still quite young. They craved attention from someone, and they wanted to feel as if they mattered even if it was in an unhealthy and toxic way. They simply didn't care because they were just happy someone actually cared for them.
"And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts
Memories feel like weapons
And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering"
I think we can all agree that Darlin went through some traumatic shit when they were with Quinn, and stuff like that doesn't just disappear. It comes back and haunts people. Traumatic memories of Quinn must be floating in Darlins mind, which is why they were always guarded and cold towards people who they didn't trust because they didn't want to go through it again.
Throughout the song, the blame is passed between both parties. But we can clearly see from Darlins "revenge mission" that yes, they blame Quinn, but they also blame themselves for everything. Especially the attack on their friend. Hearing David talk about how Quinn will go for those who can't defend themselves must make Darlin so angry as they already know this and have witnessed. They probably still have scars from it to remind them.
I would analyse the rest of the song, but this is long enough, and I do not have enough time to talk about the confrontation video between Darlin and David because OOOOOOO DO I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT.
I love Darlin as a character so much and how complex they are.
Anyways, ty for reading this, and I'm sorry it's so long 😭

hi cilla! i’d love to know your thoughts on 7 & 30 <3
aahhh hi again <3
7. What's your favorite Zutara moment from the show?
i would say the final agni kai bc it just gets me every single time and i am weak and it makes me sob, but... something about the crystal catacombs is just reaaaallllyyyy good. you can just feel their connection hanging around in the air when you watch it, or i can at least. the way that katara just took that plunge is just crazy??? like girl what are you thinking??? i love it. i also love the way zuko reaches out for once and the fact that katara is on the receiving end??? brilliant.
i know that sokka and katara went through the same thing since they both lost their mom, but i've mentioned before that it's not the literal same thing since their mother died because of katara. at least that's how katara sees it. if katara wasn't a waterbender, her mother would still be alive. sokka lost his mother because of an attack on his village. both are horrible and completely valid, but they would definitely be processing that experience differently. which leads me to claim that zuko's loss of his mother is more similar to katara's than sokka's is to katara. it sounds kind of stupid, but zuko's mother left to protect him and katara's for her. they both fully understand sacrifice as a result (not to say the others don't, but you know what i mean). this all builds up to the final agni kai where zuko sacrifices himself for katara and it's just extra impactful because they've established that they both understand exactly how much a sacrifice costs everyone involved and zuko does it anyway. that's just art.
30. If you could rewrite one episode of A:TLA, which would it be?
this is a tricky one and i think the obvious answer is the final episode but!!! i kind of want to say ember island players.
just as a warning, i am a huge sucker for slice of life episodes. that being said... i would kill for momtara and dadko trying to round up the kids for the play. like the chaos. aang and toph are trying to smuggle snacks in and zuko is trying to desperately convince them not to because "it'll bring attention to us and we have enough pilfered money from my dad to buy them anyway!!!" and sokka gets involved and is like "it's the principle zuko, the principle." katara is also trying to reason with the three and suki is just fighting to keep a straight face. it's a mess and it's beautiful. we can even have a nice little "i am so glad i forgave you/so glad we're friends" zutara moment. everyone wins. except kata*ng but i hate kata*ng so i win.
i would also remove the part where aang gets irritated about being played by a woman bc it's stupid. give me toph making jokes about it and getting more and more desperate as aang laughs along and has 0 issues with it. that's infinitely better.
also the sexualization of katara just bugs me. it's played of a joke rather than concerning. that needs to go. it's so disrespectful to women in general, and especially so to women of color. no one needs that. regular teen katara who just flirts with boys but is still doing her stupid speeches. i find that normalish and acceptable. later she is upset about the speeches and zuko is like "but... they're actually good when you do them" and she blushes or something-- subtle stuff.
sokka is the same. he needs no changing. except!!! he and suki get to actually have a conversation about yue and they come to an understanding and suki is like "wow your type really is women who are sooooo much cooler than you" at the end to lighten the mood and bring them closer :)
zuko and toph get their moment. they deserve it and it's cute.
aang does run off but it's bc he's scared (the thing he really should've been worried about since he low key died in ba sing se lol). he and katara talk and she's like "we're all here for you aang" and they hug-- NO KISS!! the stupid non-con kiss is gone, deleted, non-existent. everyone is happy and if they're not we need to have a long talk about consent.
play ends the same bc propaganda and then we have a similar scene of everyone leaving and complaining. suki gets more lines. it's just what she deserves.
and that's a somewhat outlined idea of my more wholesome ember island players before everything falls apart and the world is ending.

Incoherent GO Rambles for prosperity
It's been two weeks and three days since Good Omens 2 dropped, and I'm still not over it.
Tumblr media
CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR GOOD OMENS S2!!
For not even having WANTED the show, back when they announced it, I haven't been this in love with anything since S1!
I mean, I love the book and I was all for it when they said they're going to make a show out of it. (Do NOT get me started on the awesomeness of the cast; those who had been around, KNOW - the rest doesn't need to know the extents of my unhingedness back then!!!) I mean, I have a GO banner in my kitchen, for crying out loud!
Anyhow, when they announced a second season, I was more or less meh! Yes, I didn't really want it, it felt like overstaying its welcome and making the best of something that was too damn epic to be replicated again!!! (Which is still true for many sequels these days - some things just do NOT need a continuation! Some things just are allowed to END permanently!!!)
Boy, was I wrong!!! On second thought, I should've known. Neil (and Rob) know what they're doing. If anyone could make a second season of something that only existed in Neil's and Terry's heads, it was them.
Of course I was happy to get DT and MS back - they're just fucking epic together! Of course I followed the filming of it - it's DT, I always do (casually). But I didn't really care as much for it as I did for S1. I did see the promos and everything, I watched the trailer but my heart wasn't really in it.
But of course I watched it when it dropped (I'm not nothing but loyal to something I love(d), and I will always give it the benefit of a doubt). Well, I watched the first episode at work (calm day, and boss doesn't really care much anymore) and then the second one and since a dear friend had a head-start on me, she made sure I watched the 3rd one as well - I have never ever laughed this much about a stupid zoom-out onto a CAR in fucking EVER!!!!
I mean, that was one of the few reasons I was actually excited about it - John freaking Finnemore - I've been watching and listening to him for over a decade now (Thanks BC) so I KNEW it would be good on the writing front (Yes, I know, Neil's also very good at it, I never questioned the writing or anything!! I love him dearly; just didn't feel we needed more, that's all!)
Anyhow, I had to stop watching and could only finish after work on Saturday. I'm still utterly amazed that I wasn't spoilered on it - and GOOD LORD, am I glad for that!!!! Even The Leak didn't make it on any of my sm's - well, it did but I had that much self control to NOT click any links... which I will never not be grateful for!!!!!
Because it surprised me, shocked me, blew my fucking mind!!!!! In the best possible way, mind you!!!
Tumblr media
I've NEVER really seen those two as lovers.
There, I said it. For me they had been best friends, platonic soulmates, whatever you wanna call two beings who hung around each other for over 6000 years and still wanna be around one another.
Of course I saw it all before: the art, the fics, the meta's and hey, good on you. Just wasn't how I saw it but hey, that's totally fine.
So The Kiss really caught me off guard. Like, staring at my screen with my mouth open and my heart pounding kind off guard.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't believe Neil went and did that. It was just too damn good to be true!!! (I mean, I've watched OFMD, I KNOW it's possible to do that but its soooo fucking rare these days, it's always better to expect disappointment than something some people have been waiting and wanting for over 30 years!!!!)
The rewind button got a workout, I was soo glad I wasn't at work watching that, so I could freak out properly, and I will be forever grateful that I had my friend who had watched it so I could scream and wail at her all I wanted and she was there for me, holding me virtually, screaming with me and just in general keeping me from losing my mind entirely.
It took me a while to wrap my head around it (still trying to catch up with all of Neil's asks (as I had been ignoring a lot beforehand as I didn't want to be spoilered too much)) and Im still sooo very much in love with it.
Yes, I am. It's maybe not the show I wanted but BY GOD, it's the show I needed. I loved S1, and I fucking ADORE S2 just as much. The whole damn thing is just perfect (as I should've known with Neil!) and I swear, Amazon better be renewing it, unless they want to deal with an angry mob of GO fans descending on their headquarters...
I ignore all the bigots and homophobes and in general people complaining about it because they're just wrong. If they still don't get it, yeah well... they never will.
I love how my very own perception of these two has shifted now. I mean, I knew they loved each other, just never really in THAT way (still understood why and how others may saw that differently, that's the beauty of fandom!). I still don't see it very sexual (right now at least), more like the kind of deep and endless love that comes after having spend sooo much time together, having avoided Armageddon and scheming against their bosses. It comes with trust and a feeling of 'he knows me better than I know myself'. It's a love humans probably never will have, and it's so fucking beautiful I wanna weep!!!
It made me write my first GO fic (after having tried and failed back in the days), and I hope there will be more because I am fucking inspired right now!!!
It made me fall back in love with DT which I never say no to *hehe* I mean, he's always been there for the past decade or so, at the back of my fandom life, popping up every now and then when there's new things he's done but boy, did he stoke that simmering flame into a roaring fire with his beautifully nuanced and incredibly heartbreaking Crowley! It does help that he ages like the finest wine and has never looked better! (although im still sad that demons apparently don't have freckles... god, I love those freckles so much!)
I'm still a little taken aback at the INTENSITY of my own feelings for this season! Right now, there's nothing more pressing than having the confirmation for a third season and then getting that on its way. (Its DOES help to know that Neil would be writing a novel in the VERY UNLIKELY case of S3 NOT happening!) But hey, that's take time, so I'll do the one thing I am really really good at - waiting. Trusting that the strike will resolved in favour of the artists, knowing that as soon as that happens, Neil will get on it. Hoping DT and MS still wanna do a third act with those two idiots, and knowing I will be a lot more invested in everything again going forward!!!
Until then, I will be rewatching it over and over, look at all the beautiful art and read all the wonderful fics, maybe write some more myself and just revel in the unapologetic love Neil (and the fandom) has for these two (That man's a fucking SAINT - I've never seen anyone have this much patience with our fandom, yet he's not afraid to call people out on their assholery if needed and I will love him deeply and wholly for the rest of my life!)
So yeah, basically just wanna say how very much I love Good Omens S1 AND S2!!! And that I was wrong!
Tumblr media
NEVER doubt Neil Gaiman!

I'm curious, but may I ask what the major issues of the Hobbit trilogy were, please?
ohhh boy I could go on for ages... in fact, I think I previously made a whole post about it, let me see if I can find it
okay I couldn't find the exact post, but the two I rbed below me are a couple reasons. but, I'm going to be visiting the discord for this one bc I know I've definitely ranted about it there
but first, I want to start out by addressing an attitude I've seen since Amazon's fanfiction came out. a lot of people have started to point to the Hobbit trilogy and say, "see! it wasn't so bad! aren't you grateful for them now! we trested it so badly but we didn't know!"
to which I say: absolutely not.
more below the cut because this is gonna be loooong
that's like trying to excuse a turd in comparison to a post-taco bell night mess. one is more disgusting than the other, but at the end of the day, they're both terrible pieces of shit.
the Hobbit films didn't magically get better just because the Fanfic came out. it being worse didn't suddenly erase that trilogies flaws.
so with that clarified, let's get into what actually makes the Hobbit films so bad.
I actually think the first one is pretty good. It had potential and is easily fixable.
but movie two... it was all downhill from there.
where to begin... ah, the writing.
so, it's clear that the writing was attempting for the same tone as the original LotR trilogy. and while that may seem like a good idea on the surface, The Hobbit was written for children. the tone of the book is overall more light-hearted and adventurous. therefore, trying to force the more despairing-yet-hopeful, dark tone of the original trilogy already starts the story on the wrong foot. you get conflicting messages from the subtext because the film writers' vision is so different from the basic intent of what Tolkien wrote.
I like to say it this way: they were more interested in making a "LotR prequel" than they were in making a "Hobbit film adaptation". the Hobbit should've been one film, maybe two. but they clearly only painfully stretched it across three films like butter scraped across too much bread for the sole purpose of having just as many movies as LotR - but that one actually makes sense because the book is divided into three volumes providing natural breaking points and content enough for for three movies
now I own the extended editions of the Hobbit, literally just for the sake of owning them, and.... the first one? hardly "extended" at all. I'm pretty sure the extended Unexpected Journey is literally still shorter than the shortest THEATRICAL cut LotR film. it felt like the only material they cut was cut for the sole purpose of being able to sell an extended version.
also pardon my French but it genuinely makes me so angry-- there's this one fucking joke. this stupid. Fucking. Joke.
why would you hire a COMEDIAN to be in an epic fantasy like Tolkien?? Tolkien has funny moments but not Modern Comedian Funny.
this stupid. motherfucker. I am SO angry about this, he looked at a candelabra and fucking said MADE IN RIVENDELL??? I literally yelled over the movie for two solid minutes about that one, three word, throwaway line. it pisses me off more than the entirety of love triangle plot (we'll get to that later, don't you worry)
anways, I am taking deep breaths, I am calming down, we are forgetting about The Joke...
*ahem* now, let's talk about how the films look. first off, they filmed in 30 FPS. for context, the standard Frames Per Second is 24. 30 is typically only used for special effects such as slow mo, and even then youre better off using 60, so its essentially pointless in the end. this results in a weird, subconscious "off" feeling as you watch the movement on screen. everything just looks... not-quite-right, even if you can't put a finger on what it is.
the main visual issue is overuse of CGI. one of those posts I rbed below this has visual examples, comparing between the trilogies. namely, comparing between Lurtz and Azog the Defiler (who wasn't even in the books, btw. he was named dropped once, to say "oh yeah and Bolg, the orc leading the Orc army was the son of Azog the Defiler" and that was it).
the atrocious CGI sabotages any goodwill you mightve had for the production value.
the LotR trilogy was believable because of the well managed practical effects, with minimal and careful use of CGI. Peter Jackson said it was made like "a Kiwi indie film", and that simplistic yet passionate charm shines through The Hobbit, on the other hand, shot like any major hollywood production with approximately Zero indie charm, said "computers can do anything and everything, right?" and they just. Did That.
all the backgrounds are NOTICEABLY green screen. they're fuzzy and just. weird. im talking noticable green screen. there's even a behind the scenes set photo of Ian McKellen with his head in his hands, weeping, because he's surrounded by nothing but green fabric, without even another human actor across from him.
remember how I mentioned Azog? the orcs look like these weird, clay models that somebody ran through a computer program, and it's very distracting. not to mention, most of the orcs' acting is lost in the motion capture translation because CGI tech is constantly changing, whereas practical effects are what they are. theg stay the same and hold up consistently, making them far superior and able to last far longer, because CGI will inevitably evolve and be left in the dust (isn't that right, original Jumangi?) I once found a side-by-side gif of the original Azog actor in the motion capture suit vs the end product and I was absolutely gutted at how much of the intensity was lost. that same man, in a prosthetic effects costume? I have full confidence it would've been beautiful. but alas...
and i promised earlier that we'd talk about it, so its time to address that love triangle.
holy bad idea, Batman. you don't add OCs to someone else's work outside of fanfic period, but especially not to works like Tolkien. you just don't. heck, I even have issues with Legolas being in the Hobbit movies since he wasn't in the books! however, that could have been excused because he legitimately is Thranduil's son, and it would have been a neat fan service cameo, but with what they did to his character, it would have been better off not to have him at all. he had no business being so involved in the Plot, a simple popup in Mirkwood would've been enough
and then
then...... they had to do That. with Tauriel. Tauriel..... look, I get it, they wanted Female Representation™️, but. No. a multi billion dollar trilogy made to get money from nerds is not the place to crowd test your Dwarf/Elf/Elf love triangle fanfiction. that whole arc was also clearly time padding to have more material to justify 3 movies lol.
but, in addition, because of the love triangle/unnecessary Azog subplot combo, they ruined the depth of certain character deaths. Fili and Kili were meant to fall defending Thorin, and Thorin died three days later of his wounds, which is a huge part of his change of heart in forgiving Bilbo.
one thing that makes me laugh more than makes me angry is Kili's death. they try to make it all dramatic, like "oh no, Bolg has thrown the Strong and Dexterous Female Elf Warrior to the ground, and now he is going to kill Kili in slow motion" but like. she could have gotten up. she wasn't gravely injured, and she's like. an elf.
and it would have been so easy to fix this too, ignoring the fact that she shouldn't even exist. watch this, I'll fix it right now: she has almost fallen off the cliff, hanging on by her fingertips just the same way Gandalf did in Moria. she struggles to regain her grip to get to Kili, but before she can even get back up onto the ledge, Kili has been killed.
instead what we got: she's just like slowly writhing on the ground as Bolg deadass pauses for dramatic effect before slow mo shanking Kili with this giant spear that should have killed him instantly, but like he has enough slow mo time to gasp and groan and then finally mouth "i LoVe YoU!1!1" before mercifully perishing and escaping this trash movie. it's hilarious.
and don't even get me started on the weird sexual undertones they put between Gandalf and Galadriel, like??? that's a married woman my dude, why are she and the wizard making eyes at each other
anyways I'm sure there's more I could talk about but this is long enough as is. maybe someday I'll take all the footage of all 3 movies and edit it down into one single-film extended cut of What Could Have Been but until then I'm just going to keep rightfully trashing on this movie

Some thoughts while I wait for the finale to air on Sunday:
Christian is my favourite guy on the show. I love that his softer side is prominent. He's gentle and sweet and kind despite everything he's been through and all of the shit that's thrown at him. I loved the way he uses his magic and think he does a great job of making it look good on screen.
I do actually like seeing the compulsion gold and think it's a pretty good visual aid. I think the auras are neat and I'd like to see them more often, though Adrian is the main Aura spirit user (not sure if they'll change this)
Episode 8 I think was the weakest link so far. The cage match was...Interesting. I didn't expect the She's The Man style 30 second spin kick in the air. I think that the fight choreography should've been improved upon. It doesn't look the best visually and there were too many moments that should've been blocked easily or moments where fighting should've occurred that didn't and it made the scene feel a bit awkward and not nearly as hyped as it should have been.
That being said, the ending of episode 8 was shocking.
I have no clue what Tatiana wants but wow I hate her. What's that? It's Sonya coming in with the steel chair-
I love everyone's wardrobe except Adrian's. He is giving off major frat boy, cover your drink vibes. I think they need to work on making his wardrobe more fashionable and also the hair team needs to style it better. I also think some of the acting choices need to be less...that and more charismatic.
That being said, Lissa's wardrobe is a dream and I love all of her outfits and hair.
I love Rose and how her wardrobe fits her character (though the moments she gets to dress up more are so much fun) and I love that she's seen with many different hairstyles. She's stunning and we love her!!!
Mia is a character I never cared for in the books but I really enjoy her in the show. I hope we get to see more of her in a second season.
I do think they're jumping from book to book and plot to plot a little too fast, and I also think the trials were not only rushed but didn't make a lot of sense in terms of tasks and meaning. But overall I enjoy the show a lot and think it's really fun! I hope it gets a second season to find better footing and dedicate more time to the storylines.

Curious about YOUR thoughts about Maroon. You don't have to answer the part about what kind of fan you are. I think I can guess. ;)
LOL such a casual fan
My thoughts on Maroon make me a little murderboard-y because holy shit do I have a lot of them. But the reason I made that post is that from what I've seen, die hard swifties love Maroon and more casual fans don't quite get it/care. In my mind now it's something of a litmus test.
In my opinion Maroon is brilliant. I had suspected before it came out that this was the song that was going to be based on Red (color theory, duh), that came about from her doing the re-recording, and was convinced within about ten seconds of pressing play on it.
Having experienced the Red album the way I did (me and Taylor are the same age and I was going through such a period change, graduating university/my parents divorcing/coming to terms that me and the first boy I'd truly loved weren't meant to be and ending things), it holds a really special place in my heart, and that time still feels incredibly formative to me. Therefore when I heard Maroon it felt so fitting, because those feelings which were once so vibrant have now faded and darkened with time. I feel it really viscerally.
There are so many specifics I could go into about why it is about her relationship with JG and how it proves other theories I have about that but I won't go too much into them, all I'll say overall is this:
One of my favorite things about this song is how perfectly it fits on an album with Would've Could've Should've (about her relationship with JM), in a way that Dear John and All Too Well never could have been on an album together. Those songs, written in the immediate aftermath of those relationships feel so incredibly differently stylistically and emotionally. As a listener, it always felt as though JM just should have left her alone whereas JG should have done better.
What I like about Maroon and Would've Could've Should've is that they both really feel like a 30-something woman looking back on these two relationships and realizing that they were more similar than she would have thought at the time, that they were with two men who should have stayed away, should have done better, and that somehow she is still paying for their decision not to.
Maroon made me so incredibly proud of her for finally untangling herself from the nuance of it, in the way that only hindsight allows us to, and I'm really grateful she shared it with us.

s1ep3 the evillustrator
love the name pun. so good
they should've just given nathaniel super powers as far as i'm concerned. his is probably one of the best designs we've seen so far of an akumatized person, and i love how he's just like, "nah, i won't commit evil bc the girl i like told me not to and she kept her promise about coming to my birthday party date." like if marinette hadn't been ladybug and trying to de-evilize him, hawkmoth would've had to force his hand to get ladybug and chat noir to come to him lol. i mean, if they hadn't been at the library personally ofc.
also love the bold choice to hire an older man in the english dub to play nathaniel bc he definitely sounds like a high school boy (/s). (and i do mean that totally neutrally almost positively) not to say hs boys can't sound like that. but 30 yr old men definitely sound older than a teenager. the va also just has a very nice, smooth voice, so i really don't mind. (also love how they had b-roll voice overs for marinette's classmates in timebreaker and then when her classmate actually get screen time, their voices change completely.)
other things i loved was the fact that the evillustrator just goes for the kill uncensored yigioh style by throwing a spinning buzz saw at chloe's face. like so far, we've seen relatively mild shit, though they probably killed some ppl, but it's all very abstract. with evillustrator, he just throws a fucking saw at her face. it's so funny.
i will say tho, the thing that irks me and irked me back then, was the lame-ass reason they gave to chat noir to use his cataclysm and them completely wasted it, instead, having ladybug solve the problem all by herself. (and even before she was able to transform into ladybug, she had to help both of them out of a sticky situation.) but for different reasons this time. last time, it was bc i felt chat noir was mistreated as a deuxteragonist, and i still think he is but that's a different post (and it parallels how they mistreat marinette/ladybug as a protagonist but in the opposite direction). this time, i just think about how the writers couldn't come up with a better way to incorporate chat noir's cataclysm. i think it's worse to construct a way for him to use it, only to have him fail completely and ladybug do what he was going to, than to just not have him use it at all.
they've painted themselves into a corner. bc you have to have ladybug use her miraculous ladybug power. that's essential. it's literally the namesake!! but if you don't make chat noir's cataclysm essential, he becomes less of a deuxteragonist, so he has to be able to use it at least once during an episode. the issue is, it's still insanely imbalanced when his cataclysm doesn't even really do much and ladybug is left to do all the work anyway.
there's another thing i noticed this time around that really irked me too, and it was adrien and marinette's conversation at the end. bc not only were they completely talking past each other, but adrien wasn't even listening to marinette! he was so focused on wanting her to like chat noir (and by a very strange extension since he likes ladybug, him), he didn't even register what she was saying. and idk i just found that so incredibly rude on his part lmao. and marinette, unfortunately, didn't even notice bc she gets too nervous around him. she deserves better than that lol.
edit: i forgot to mention hawkmoth saying he'd rule the world if he obtained ladybug and chat noir's miraculous loooool as if that's definitely the reason later on.

No. 6 - bling
im out here in miamiiiiiiii, looking for the hoochie daddies.
omg lets talk about my Florida boy, I've been sitting here for a minute deciding on what to call him because there are many things that I can call him and you'll see the many nicknames here in a minute. i decided to call him bling simply based off the fact that he was a very flashy person. he wore two gold chains, designer fits, new shoes, and he even had this aura to him.
I met him in the cafe during my freshman year of college, me and my friend were asking people what they put in their grits and I asked him and he told me salt. I thought he was cute but then I just walked away and went about my day paying it no mind. the same day, I was walking back to my dorm and he just came from the same building. he stopped me and said hey, I was confused and he said "hi?", he told me he was from the cafe and I asked him the grits question. I pointed out his tattoos and he gave me a tattoo tour, his nickname was tatted on his arm and I just thought that was kinda cute. I already knew I wanted to fuck him when he opened his mouth because he had the thickest Florida accent. I heard his voice and was asked him where he was from, should've already knew this man was a whore because why are you here and you're from Miami? let me paint a picture for yall of how cute this man was; he had waves, braces, a full left arm sleeve, muscular, a football player, and he about 6 foot even. he asked for my insta at first but at that time I didn't have an IG, so I just gave him my number. immediately we started texting after that minute.
we were texting for a minute, and I would see him all over my dorm. we texted for a minute before we linked, I've seen him before and he's come to my dorm before but we didn't have sex. for a minute, I was wondering if we ever would have sex because it took a minute for us to even get to that point. the issue as to why we didn't have sex for a minute, was definitely me. I was so scared, especially because he was known with the girls on campus. I didn't want other people in my business, so that really made me hesitant on wanting to fuck him.
that lasted for a month, then on one night I was just in HEAT. I was on that type of timing, I was like hmm do I flick the bean or call this man to unclog my pipes. I ended up texting him "you up", and man he responded quickly. told him to come thru, and it took him a good 30 minutes to get to my dorm, I was really getting upset atp. I was just sitting in my dorm watching some movie in heat omggggg. then the door opened, I told him it was open but at least knock before you opened it. we started chilling and watching movies, i guess he was on timing too because he was like "wanna feel my dick". it was pretty thick omg... with him, we didn't do much foreplay, we kissed and he went down on me. he knew exactly what he wanted, I applaud him for not beating around the bush. while he was giving me head, he was using a lot of tongue (duh), but there's a difference between a lot of tongue and the right amount. it felt like he opened his mouth almost all the way like he really was tryna put my coochie in his mouth. then he ate my ass dude, it was so weird for a second but why was it good. he set the standard because that was the first time for me. then I pulled him up and when we kissed he used his whole tongue again. I didn't enjoy kissing him mainly because of the excessive use of tongue, but his breath was tart as well. he started pulling off his shorts, idky but I got the brilliant idea to suggest to him that he tape us. as im pulling him closer to me, I went to my camera and was about to record. he couldn't find the hole at first, so I had to put it in for him which isn't an issue because I love it. a few strokes in and omg, it was good. he was a loud moaner, once it slipped in he made the deepest sigh ever. I then pulled out my camera and started recording, but I just can't multi-task. when I was recording I couldn't focus on the fact that I was getting some dick, my mind was focused on being a Tarantino or Scorcese that I forgot I had a thick 7 inches in me. then we went into backshots, I handed him the phone and he was in the same boat as me. he recorded a good 40 seconds before he put the phone down and just started beating my back in. I was getting a little dry during this time because I realized I didn't really like him so he was pulling it out and eating my coochie. he was a slow person when it came to backshots, he wanted to take it slow, his tempo was slower than others.
then he flipped me over and started fucking me from the side while he was standing up. he was going faster with this and he was grabbing and moving my ass the whole time. the whole time we were having sex he was telling me how fat my ass was, I didn't know how to feel in that moment really. my mind was kinda racing, did he want to actually get to know me or was he just fixated on fucking me. I didn't even continue to give it thought, at this point I wanted to get it over with. after we were done with the side, I told him lay down cause I want to give him some head. bro, he has a fucking turtleneck... he is not circumcised... I was confused. I have never been with a man who wasn't circumcised so that threw me completely off. while sucking his dick I barely put any passion into it, but he was just moaning and acting as if I was just doing such a good job. after a good 8 minutes I got on top of him and started riding. yall tell me why this man nutted three times when I got on top. luckily he didn't nut inside of me, he told me to get up and when I got off I just started stroking him and telling him to cum for me. when I said that he was just like "yes ma'am" "I'm finna nut" and the loudest moans. his face when moaning was just so attractive, like he was actually squirming.
we finished and he ended up spending the night, that morning my roommate came in and started packing. this man had no shorts on, we slept barely naked, I had to pass his shorts to him so he could get dressed and leave. I stopped talking to him because I thought he was just so weird after that, and he also gave me BV. I also heard that he was fucking on half of the freshman class of our college which immediately turned me off.
we share the same birthday...
