My friends and I are rewatching a bunch of Christian films from my childhood and we completed the original Left Behind trilogy the other day. Here were my observations
I do think it's funny that the plot essentially begins with GMOs. GMOs are bad because more people being fed means world peace and globalism. That is bad.
"I'm Buck Williams and I'm standing in a wheat field" is now doomed to be repeated within my friend group for at least the next two years.
The antichrist's name is Nikolai Carpathia. He has the accent of a guy mimicking a Russian accent. This feels on par with JK Rowling naming her one Asian character "Cho Chang".
The character names also include (aside from the aforementioned antichrist and Kirk Cameron's character) Rayford Steele, Chloe, and Patty. Somehow it has the aura of a porno.
Despite the only demographic to be exclusively raptured is children under the age of 10, this fact is pretty much ignored.
Kirk Cameron's character (Buck) confronts police officers who are shooting at looters and teenagers for lacking compassion. By today's standards, this is woke propaganda.
I'm pretty sure the prior thing is to show that Buck is a good and pure soul who just needs to read a Bible to be fully redeemed because how else can you have a non-Christian protagonist in a movie like this. Or maybe this is to show that he's misguided and worldly. However, despite being a hot, sexy, prolific journalist, the movie also points out that he is a virgin.
The alleged romantic tension between Buck and pilot-not-porn-star Rayford Steele's daughter is painful to watch because Kirk Cameron will not kiss anyone other than his wife. There's a lot of awkward side hugs and leaving room for Jesus. Given that they end up getting married later, this is amusing to me.
These movies really want you to know two things: World Peace Is Bad, and Jews Are Bad. There are direct plot points specifically about converting Jewish people to Christianity so that they cannot usher in the rule of the antichrist.
I think it's really funny that, despite TV and the internet existing during the time this series takes place, the connection between the rapture prophecies/fanfics and The Fucking Rapture is only discovered by our protagonists and a handful of other random guys. I think a mass disappearance of certain branches of Christianity and children would provoke some kind of doubt and curiosity, but no. That's bad for plot. Instead, the whole world goes straight to "y'know what? Let's just get rid of all religion at once. Forever." This is because all other religions are made from faithless heathens who just really hate Christians, and since there are no longer Christians, they no longer have to Do Religion. I guess.
I also think it's funny that the main characters, though they themselves were convinced to convert because of the rapture, do not use the rapture as a means to convert the masses. They jump straight to bunker church and secret Bible brigades. When they do successfully convert others, it is either by trotting out the tired, "YOU THINK THIS WORLD WAS AN ACCIDENT???" Case for Christ nonsense, or basically threatening their victim with damnation.
Case in point, Rayford Steele talks a guy out of suicide by reminding him that he will never see his wife and child again if he goes through with it. Suicide = Straight To Hell.
There's a scene where the antichrist like... tries to "test" Rayford Steele by revealing his uber spoopy ghost face and seeing if he reacts. Because I guess the uber spoopy ghost face only works on believers. Te uber spoopy ghost face is his figure showing up in infrared, then his face stretching out cartoonishly, and his eyes turning black. This scared me as a child. It is the second funniest part of the movie.
Also, the title of the second movie being "Left Behind: Tribulation Force" is giving big "Electric Boogaloo" energy.
The antichrist reveals of the evil Global Community organization to the protagonists by handing them a piece of loose leaf printer paper with a logo that I would've made in the computer lab in 2005. This is done to the tune of sinister and dramatic music. This is the funniest part of the movie.
The third movie begins with the introduction of The President. It was previously stated that the president had been raptured. There was no mention of presidents up until this point. I know the line of succession exits but it really felt like they just forgot.
Oh yeah...the Pope was also raptured because he was secretly protestant.
Buck marries Rayford Steele's daughter at the same time Rayford Steele marries a random blonde lady. It feels weird and icky, which is furthered by the fact that the now married daughter will henceforth be referred to as "our girl" by both of these men for the rest of the movie.
We also had to stop the movie several times due most of the female cast consisting of skinny white blonde ladies. We could not tell the difference between any of them except for by their eyeliner. If she wears dark eyeliner, she's a whore.
Due to the plot involving the release of a virus that mainly only affects Christians, this film was definitely the most fun to dissect.
The virus is stored in badly CGId glowy green goo bottles, which for a series that has tried very hard to be serious, was awfully cartoony.
This movie does not give a fuck about the protagonists. This movie is about the president. I'm pretty sure this is because the protagonists, who are Christian, are no longer allowed to commit murder. The president is not a Christian, so he gets to use a gun.
The president has random warehouses to do casual interrogations in wherever and whenever he wants. It is clear that the creators were really struggling to make due with the set.
We know the antichrist is bad because he wants to take everyone's nukes. The president's main goal in this movie is to keep the nukes.
Back in the side plot, it turns out that the Christians are getting infected with green goo disease because the antichrist hid it in their Bibles. As the protagonists drown in guilt, the suspense of the plot really starts to fall apart. Their entire goal is to Get More People Into Heaven, and in this series, reading the Bible will automatically make anyone a Christian (the Bible's words cannot be resisted). If anything, they just fast-tracked a bunch of people into heaven, and they no longer have to endure the next seven years of apocalypse.
We should've all watched these movie pre-COVID. The only person who wears a mask and gloves is the antichrist. The protagonists also mention avoiding vaccines and relying on God/sacrificing themselves instead. This movie predicted 2020.
The super advanced green goo virus has an instacure antidote. Fucking red wine. This seems like a helluva lot of oversight to hand the "drinks red wine as part of religious rituals" group a virus that can be instacured by red wine.
WW3 starts. Somehow, this does not cause a nuclear winter.
The antichrist discovers that he can force-choke people.
The president suicide-bombs the antichrist's tower in order to "slow him down". Given that the antichrist cannot be killed and cell phones exist, I have no idea what exactly that was supposed to do.
As someone who grew up fully believing that Obama was the antichrist and Muslim (which is conservative for "literally a member of Al-Queda/ISIS").... and Black but they didn't say that part out loud), it was interesting in retrospect to watch this movie unfold. The president in this movie is a Black, non-Christian man who is initially for world peace, but then converts to Christianity and suicide-bombs the antichrist. We all have different interpretations of this, but we do agree that they would not have made that specific set of choices today. That said, my interpretation is the correct one /hj

 🦋 Life Is Strange: Petnames.
Tumblr media
🦋 What do they call their partner, what do they like to be called?
 🐺 GN!Reader, no specific pronouns are mentioned!
🦋 Warnings: nathan prescotts issues, sappy stuff and my never ending beef with nathan prescott
 🦋 A/N: Bored, tired and severely sleep deprived. I'm sticking to actually posting for once? Shocking! The word petname has me giggling like a kid and I've got no idea why.
Tumblr media
 🦋 Chloe Price:
 💓 Chloe would probably call you the basics like babe, baby and hey maybe even babycakes as some classic comedy. She seems like the type to just make the coolest petnames in her head and spit 'em out in a split second. (She'll probably call you dude, regardless of your gender.)
 🤍 She'd deep down enjoy those real sappy, cute and sort of cringe petnames. Like pumpkin and sweetheart, you know? Maybe even puddin' but in a southern accent, apart from that she doesn't really care.
(Chloe's just a big softie, come onnn!)
Tumblr media
🦋Kate Marsh:
💓Kate, katie, literal angel, and she'd probably call you her angel as well! She'd also call you darling, dearest, my love and probably hon/honey.
🤍She'd enjoy and appreciate it if you were affectionate with petnames like the way she is, so probably darling, angel and my love if I were to guess.
Tumblr media
🦋Max Caulfield:
💓I get huge calling her partner broski and dude vibes, no matter your gender which is probably gonna be a little like Warren's headcanons. Calls you by your name and maybe sweetheart or greets you after a while like `Hey there, cowboy!` (again, regardless of your gender.)
🤍Doesn't care what you call her, lovey dovey and insist on calling her the most sickening, romance novel petnames? Okay, it's what you like and she probably doesn't mind.
Tumblr media
🦋Rachel Amber:
💓Petnames are mandatory, MANDATORY!! Am I the only one getting the vibe she'd call her partner baby girl/baby boy or..?
💓Apart from that it's angel, love, sweetie and maybe babe. Probably reminds you that you're handsome or pretty nearly everyday because she's a theatre kid and DRAMATIC, or maybe she just wants to show you sum love.
🤍Call her what she calls you or add some little sappy nicknames in there cause she deserves better and just wants to feel the good old romance in the air.
Tumblr media
🦋Victoria Chase:
💓Okay big old bully:( She's the good old classic mean girl in public but with you? She's like a totally different person, I mean forget all those horrible, awful things she's done..ahem..
💓If you're super popular and everyone knows who you are, she'll call you babe and hon in public. If you're not as popular as her, she might not put the best effort in but she's still got your back!
💓In private it's my love, babe, baby, hon/honey, all types of sappy stuff.
🤍Isn't a big deal to her what you call her just be affectionate dude (don't call her dude, she'll be like wtf)
Tumblr media
🦋Warren Graham:
💓Is for sure calling you dude, bro and broski like yeah you're in a relationship but he didn't ask. Take it or leave it, broski! Refers to you as his partner no matter what, he'll be struggling to call you anything else and that has me laughing a little. (favourite nerd)
💓I feel like he'd jokingly call you dumbass, if you're okay with that probably.
🤍LOVE, AFFECTION, ADORAAATION! Put some effort in, like yeah he barely calls you anything romantic and cute but like leave him alone okay?! He's trying his best!
🤍Call him anything cause he'll eat that shit up daily for every meal, he loves you and just needs SOMETHING!
Tumblr media
🦋Nathan Prescott:
💓It's dickhead again, let me just pull out my book of problems! Comedic purposes..very hilarious but he's got some intense issues and this is gonna be like one of those shit love stories.
💓He's not big and open about your relationship so he doesn't call you anything in public (especially if you're a guy, sorry dude but he's got denial issues up the ass).
💓He might call you babe or somethin' else, he's an asshole struggling with affection and other things.
🤍Call him what you wish just don't try it in public because he'll get all pissed off and act like he's never seen you in his life. Like, how dare you be affectionate and loving?!
🤍He's the problem.

that's some quality yeeting😌
First of all, MOTHER. Second, imagine being able to pull off that orange jacket, I could never
Tumblr media
"Lois!!😳😨" The queen doing queen shit while Clark is just standing there clutching his pearls, THEE DYNAMIC
Tumblr media
Why is her dad so extra tho💀
I'm having so much fun right nowwww🤗 Have I mentioned that I love Lois? Because I love her a lot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clark being super upfront with his parents never stops warming my heart🥹
name a more entertaining duo I'll wait
Tumblr media Tumblr media
both Lana and Clark seem quite different from season 3, it's almost jarring
PLSSS imagine if he was wrong💀💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Women supporting women, we love to see it😌
an understatement if I've ever heard one💀
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The awkward tension is just getting started." Lois I love you
I'm memeing the hell out of this episode just so you know
"I can see why you're in love with her." *the bisexual Lois agenda*
Clark: "Look you're really not the person I wanna talk to about this."
Clark, 5 seconds later: "So here's what happened-"
she looks so pretty here it's insane actually
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"To keep an eye on me, is that it, boss?" ugh the way she says that is so hot don't ask me why
"My heart isn't exactly what it used to be." They keep reminding me and I hate it😭😭
Clark is having some unpleasant flashbacks right now🤡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
watching Lionel get stabbed like whatever, he'll survive🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, back to what I was saying-
askajskajsak the old geezer💀😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the love of my life everyone
"I don't know how you ever survived without me." I feel like she's saying that to me but also YES, Lois saving Clark since day one👏👏 (flash forward to Loisidiedwhenyouleft he literally CANNOT survive without her I'm-)
bless🥹
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's like gimme credit I did good work too Lois acknowledge meeee🥺
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

🙏🕯Manifesting Lionel in prison and out of commission for as many episodes as possible🕯🙏
Jonathan defending Lex while Clark won't have it? Oh, how the turntables...
"It's funny isn't it? After everything we've been through, I thought it would take us longer to get over it." OOUCH
"Us?" He's like in what universe-
"Yeah, you and Lois."
"Lois? She's bossy. She's stuck up, she's rude. I can't stand her."
Clark Kent, you beautiful beautiful clown🤡 Look at the face this mf made when he said the first part, "she's bossy😍😏😍"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Do you believe in destiny?" "I don't want to."
yeaaah he really doesn't😬
The more Lex emotionally controls the situation when he's with Lionel, the less threatening Lionel is. Really makes you realize that he only has as much power as Lex allows him to have, if Lex stops caring (which I don't think he ever fully will but I digress), Lionel becomes irrelevant. Even if he still managed to outsmart Lex in whatever way, as long as Lex just shrugs it off like "Whatever old man, smart move I guess." any victory on Lionel's end really loses its impact🤷🏻‍♀️
I still want to know how old Jason is btw👀

here’s my full review of the tortured poets department: the anthology by taylor swift. i’m just going to start off by saying this is a grown ass woman and a billionaire and if you believe her music is above reproach just because she embodies girlhood or you liked the album or whatever just keep it trucking because i get to say whatever i want here.
first here’s the songs i like:
the black dog (what girl hasn’t checked a location, i ask you?!?)
chloe or sam or sophia or marcus (it could be traffic sounds and my name being in the title will still make me like it)
the alchemy
clara bow (this one makes me go 🎀🧚🏻‍♀️💕)
thank you aimee (grandchild of mean)
the albatross
peter (really mostly just the ending)
the bolter
the manuscript
the smallest man who ever lived (i will never hate a song that is about how matty healy sucks)
i can do it with a broken heart (corny but i have already seen edits with it and the right edit could make me like any song plus certain parts remind me of yoyok)
guilty as sin?
my boy only breaks his favorite toys (specifically for the line “im queen of sandcastles he destroys” which i like)
but daddy love him (she’s real for saying cut the fucking whining)
fortnight (post malone’s positive affect on my enjoyment cannot be overstated)
now for my opinions:
many of the songs aren’t BAD just completely unmemorable like i remember nary a lyric or tune of cassandra or the prophecy or robin etc etc
jack antonoff should be strung up! the only good things he’s done are 1. melodrama by lorde, and 2. inspiring margaret by lana del rey (plus the occasional good taylor song like getaway car and sweet nothings but whatever) honestly the two have outgrown each other and their music apart is way more interesting than anything they do together. aaron dessner is a hero.
i have no technical issues with florida!!! but as someone who has spent quite a bit of time in florida it feels like someone romanticizing newark, new jersey and that feeling stretches so deep that not even florence + the machine could make me enjoy what is otherwise a really fun song
there must be something about british men bc people dating british guys write so american by olivia rodrigo and paper rings and people who have broken up with british guys write so long, london
who’s afraid of little old me feels like the perfect example of every criticism taylor gets. she is the most powerful voice in hollywood, is extraordinarily litigious, and has won in every way that matters but still she acts like every criticism of her is an attack on girlhood and feminism. like she is a grown woman writing “i’m just a girl” music about how not being universally adored is such a huge tragedy and it just feels so corny
i look in peoples windows and down bad are both songs i’m sure i’ll love two months from now
the line about 1830 without the racists is CRAZY. even without the racists that was not a good time!
overall a very weak album. it’s like she’s stuck in some sort of perma-youth where she is unable to mature beyond “all of my exes are either the devil or taylor lautner” and it shows how very insular her adulthood has been. she’s been famous her entire adult life and her music sounds like the kind of lyric a teenager writes in their notes app. like i don’t hate the music but it’s all just so extraordinarily mid. every song on this album could be on any other album of any other pop girlie and i wouldn’t blink. taylor is supposed to be one of the strongest lyricists of our time and we’re getting lyrics like “touch me while your bros play grand theft auto”

And… we’re back.
Ok Deflagration is back, I’m a day late, but I literally do not care ok? I was having a rough day and put mental health first, and this show is not mental health for me
Anyways I’m keeping this review concise because this episode was actually pointless.
Like no joke, genuinely fucking pointless! It’s just as bad as the first half of Kwamis’ choice, where for some reason it’s alright to give up the miraculous for your love life (because being able to date is so much more important then the safety of the universe), the identity rule continues to pretend to matter (tho I will say the tracking on the alliance rings is smart) and no one has a personality outside of the love square, and everything in the end of the episode reset, to the point they make tongue in cheek jokes about it
Tumblr media
…yep you can see why people are slowly giving up on this show (myself included)
I think if anything, my main complaints about this episode are these:
1. No one gives a shit about ladybug and chat noir quitting
This connects to how Alya and Tikki were always like “yeah marinette is right to quit so she can date adrien” but literally no one gives a shit! For something as huge as Ladybug and Chat Noir quitting after over a year of constant fighting, and giving the miraculouses to complete amateurs there is literally no reaction! Everyone is just fine with this change, make a quick tribute and even make tongue in cheek jokes about how they must have quit in order to date, which in general just shows how the show doesn’t actually care about the heroic part of the story? Like this is just the love square show, with ladybug worshiping sprinkled in.
Tumblr media
(Also the way the only indication of the Kwamis and holders missing each other was Adrien, who was basically a background character this episode, being sad for unexplained reasons and Tikki saying she missed marinette)
But I digress next complaint
2. The way… this episode was just Chloe Slander/Zoe worship.
I…SWEAR TO GOD!!! Listen I don’t hate Zoe, she doesn’t do anything to make me hate her, and I do realize Chloe is not a good person, but the show shoves it in your face so much! Like every single moment this episode being like “omg Zoe is so kind and sweet and better then Chloe look how awful Chloe is hate her” when Zoe is (no offense Zoe) so bland, that her entire personality consists of being better then Chloe and being in love with marinette!
Tumblr media
And as for the Chloe slander, I swear to god! The show goes out of its way to have this entire scene where Chloe tries to humiliate marinette (which is so tactless and dumb? Like it really felt like the show just needed to remind you that Chloe sucks you guys hate her guts please) and makes Plagg rant to Zoe about how awful and irredeemable Chloe is and how he should cataclysm her (like he speaks of Gabriel, the literal terrorist) and has Chloe willingly accept an Akuma (as if she didn’t fight the akumas a couple seasons back)!!!
Tumblr media
So all of this together, we just have another Lila on our hands! The show is legitimately arguing that Chloe and Lila (stereotypical 14 year old bully characters) are as bad if not worse then the terrorist plaguing Paris and being an abusive father on the side, and justifies that by making them increasingly worse to the point where it’s just unrealistic and laughable!
Honestly the only two upsides for this episode is that at least we didn’t see Marinette whining over her crush on Adrien (which sprung back out of nowhere), and that Adrien got to show up his dad by taking the ladybug miraculous away from him (the resistance is nice, the names are weird but it’s nice)
Tumblr media
All in all? Kwamis’ choice was Completely pointless, and everything is back to the status quo except LOVE SQUARE OooOoOoO

What about Chris and reader watching tucker and Dale vs the forces of evil? One of my favorite movies of all time, super funny.
HALLELUJAH I FINALLY FOUND THE MOVIE ON YOUTUBE😫 I’m so sorry I put this off for so long, anon! I couldn’t find the movie anywhere for the longest time and it was such a relief to finally find it 😭 Who knew it was on YouTube after a second try of searching? Looking back on it now, it was an amazing film and I regret not watching it sooner! I hope this was worth the wait, you absolutely deserved an answer for being so patient 💘
Spoiler and trigger warning to those who haven’t heard of this movie before, it’s a horror film that involved a lot of gorey scenes with majority of them embedded in this post, so if you’re uncomfortable, don’t feel that you need to continue reading!
WATCHING TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL WITH CHRIS MCLEAN
Tumblr media
“Let’s watch another classic.” you hold the DVD out in front of Chris, Tucker and Dale vs evil.
He has himself a good look and smiles,“You know what the name reminds me of?”
“What?”
“That one cartoon.”
“What, Star vs. the forces of evil?”
He clicks his fingers,“Yeah!”
“Hah.” Having summarised knowledge of the movie’s premise, you could only feel smug at the lighthearted nature of that franchise being nothing alike to what you were putting into the DVD player.
Three days ago.
In the beginning, the movie takes you on a journey with a bunch of young people inside a car, travelling somewhere for school break, having stopped at a gas station along the way to pick up some beer. This is where you meet the actual protagonists, Tucker and Dale, whom were also at the store collecting some housework equipment.
“Smile and laugh.” was Tucker’s advice for Dale’s demeanour in talking to the college girls that were helping each other to store bags of supplies into the car.
Naturally, the kids were uncomfortable with this ragged looking man approaching them, nervously laughing.
“Why is he going to them with that scythe?” you ask, despite knowing Dale had unconsciously made a poor choice of grabbing the closet thing to him in order to appear more normal.
“He’s the grim reaper! He’s gonna end everyone’s lives from how embarrassing this is!” Talk about figurative language, especially admirable on Chris’ part.
The college students coincide their hangout spot at the same woods Tucker and Dale went to where the night had settled and they were around the campfire, sharing a horror story of the “Memorial Day Massacre”, where in the exact woods they were in was a mass killing of college students, orchestrated by “Tucker and Dale’s kind”, twenty years ago.
“Wait, so if that was the case, why the hell did they think that was a good place to go to?” they were practically sitting in a graveyard.
Chris scoffs,“Teenagers.”
In a flashback of the Memorial Day Massacre, one of the killers whom joined the college students had sunk a sharpened cog into his neck before throwing it into the face of his first victim.
“OOH.”
“OOH.”
The group quickly disperses and it became every man for themselves. The scene then ends when the new batch decides to go swimming in the lake.
After a failed night of skinny dipping and assuming the main female heroine Allison was captured by the “creepy men from the store”, it was now up to her friend group to “rescue” her.
“It’s just a cabin, it doesn’t mean they’re psycho killers.” One of the boys comment as the group walks into the sight of the previously abandoned shelter.
“Oh yeah? Then why don’t you go in there and talk to them?” Chloe snarked, obviously not buying the idea.
“Alright. Maybe I will.” The collective looks back to Mitch, waiting for him to go,“I said maybe.”
“He reminds me of Cody...” Chris remarks in a thinking, squinting manner with his finger to his chin,“He’s got the style, the confidence, the hair...”
To compare a character to Cody in a horror film considerably meant the most unlucky thing,“Oh no.”
Mitch’s maybe ends up forcefully becoming a yes after losing a game of Rock Paper Scissors. So he makes his way towards the foggy cabin.
Tucker meanwhile was outside, minding his own business, getting on with wood sawing when he gravely jabs the chainsaw into a wasp nest, enraging the buzzing inhabitants to chase him in a frenzy, sending an entirely different message to the teens.
“Why is he just running with it!? Like why can’t he just throw it to the ground?” you cry when the movie, if shown to someone who had walked in, would look as it did to the kids in movie.
“I dunno. But it’s sure funnier this way.” Your spouse’s statement spelt true by his chuckling.
Having been faulty in his attention to his rapid change of surroundings, Mitch ends up getting stabbed by a tree branch. And not only did he get stabbed, his body somehow ripped halfway through. 
“How the hell does that happen?” it was kind of gross to see,“Right in the heart? You can’t just run into a stick and end up that deep in it to the point where it’s coming out your back!”
“Huh. Look at that, it really is Cody.” All Chris had to say, to the dying boy who spent his last moments realising the opposing truth behind Tucker’s running. Had he lived, the movie may have moved more smoothly.
It then cuts back to Allison and Dale playing their board games, jolly in the cabin.
“Girl’s unaware her friend died.” you nearly chock on the bitter change of atmosphere.
“I just think that so many of the major problems and conflicts in the world are caused by a lack of communication, you know.”
Isn’t that ironic.
Here, the kids were executing their scheme to tackle the men. Again.
One of the students, Todd, had sharpened a spear from a tree branch and began running at Dale and Allison in the middle of them digging a hole. However, Todd javelin throws it into the pit, moments before fatally tripping and landing right through it, where Dale’s soft heart witnessed in panic, drools of blood falling from his mouth.
“Again?” you’re shocked,“Why are all these kids going straight into the tree branch? It doesn’t work like that in real life!”
There was another, Mike, hiding behind a tree, watching Tucker getting on with some wood chipping. Off the brink of bravery(or stupidity), he ran with pocket knife at the ready. But Tucker was a lucky ducker. So Mike ran.
Right into the wood chipper.
“AOW.” you involuntarily let out. What a way to go.
Chris was laughing. Tucker, now horrified at the sudden appearance of the boy inside the machine, drops his blocks of wood to try rip him out even though it was way too late to do anything(which again was terribly mistaken, of him trying to push him into the machine).
“That is so disgusting.” you watch the bimbo in front getting drenched in his bodily pulp,“Noo...why did they have to show the shot of him coming out like that? I can’t imagine how that skeleton looks...”
Chris coughs out the last few chips of laughter,“Yeah, he’s gone.”
“So, this is a movie full of dumb people dying in the most ridiculous ways, is that what I’m seeing?” Your question sounded more like a screech against words.
“Pretty much.” It may have been a horrible thing to wish for, but Chris’ carelessness was something you too hope to embody in the future- to horror films.
“Long day for them.” Tucker himself was also all bloodied from head to toe,“He needs a serious shower.”
The movie switches perspective back on the teens, where the saner ones were wondering why they were still there and debating on how to leave. Chad had himself a monologue.
“How many people do you think get a chance for something like this?... The chance to live, to be free from people always telling you what you can and can’t do.”
“He’s actually such an instigator, what is wrong with him?” you question aloud in disgust at Chad’s thought process on the situation, like it was a game,“Do what any normal person would do and leave, don’t hang around. About us against them.”
“Hero complex, (Y/N).” Chris coldly worded, sipping loudly from his pop soda.
Police sirens then play in the background and everyone(except a pricky Chad) ran to the direction of it.
“We don’t need the fucking cops!”
“Watch when the police aren’t even coming for them.” a smile drove on your face at the thought of such a scenario, driving one onto Chris’ face too.
“That would be funny.”
“Oh, disgusting.” you gag at the sight of Tucker and Dale dragging Mike’s legs across the ground,“Isn’t messing with the body a crime?”
“I don’t think that’s what’s important right now...” Chris replies, eyes stuck on the screen.
“You know what I don’t get...”  you start, watching the police car stop in front of them, your throat drying for the men,“He sees this guy who he’s assuming is a psycho killer with a chainsaw and without a hook, working with a machine that can be very dangerous if misused... And his best thought of action is to run to him? Not sneak? How-How does he know that this supposed killer isn’t gonna use the machine on him?”
“That’s what college does to you (Y/N), it makes you dumber.” Chris claims, the scene of testimony miserably unfolds as Tucker attempts his best to explain what had happened to the sheriff, no matter how unbelievable it looked.
“You must think that I’m some kind of moron to believe a story like that.”
“Is that why you didn’t go?”
One easy way to offend him,“Way to spread misinfo, (Y/N)! I went then dropped out.”
“That’s even more sad.”
Having leaned on a pillar(same loose pillar in the beginning Tucker said he would need to fix), the Sheriff had fallen victim to an own accidental death, with a piece from the top impaling him on the face and doing so forcefully, he was hurled out of the cabin.
“Oh for God’s sake.” you face palm, both Tucker and Dale rushing out of the cabin in concern for the officer,“Is it everyday.”
“I mean, they did try warn him... At least he sees how the deaths are happening.” Chris smiles, contrasting to you flinching when he stumbled back to the car with nails right through his face and the remaining students inside the car losing it.
“Damn it! Tucker, I told you you should’ve fixed that beam!”
One of the kids in the car decides he’ll be saviour so he immediately leaves the passenger seat to arm himself with the dead Sheriff’s gun, aiming at the technically innocent men. The gun had its safety on, and Dale naively gives away how to turn it off, while Chuck was looking right into the barrel.
“Stupid kid, did he just shoot himself?” you exclaim when his body rapidly collapses in front of the splash of blood on the car front.
“At this point, the director wanted everyone off now.” Chris tittered, shoving a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
Thinking he was God’s servant, Chad took the gun off Chuck’s corpse and began firing Dale and Tucker into retreating back into their cabin. To reel them back out, he had to resort to a more inhuman measure that weighed out his pretentious “survival of the fittest” death match.
“No no no, I know this movie isn’t about to kill off the dog.” you shake your head at Chad holding a gun to the head of Jangers, through the perspective of the titular duo inside the cabin.
“I love when the people die, but if they kill that dog, I am switching this movie off.” Chris warned, thumb circling around on the red power button of the remote.
Praise be, he didn’t need to push it, because it was a good horror movie; good horror movies don’t rely on the animals dying, so Jangers was gracefully saved- unfortunately, that couldn’t apply to Tucker whom was caught by Chad shortly after freeing the dog, hanging upside down and letting out a bloodcurdling scream when Chad bellowed his axe onto him.
“Is it bad I can’t see where he hit him?” Chris rewinded the part three times to try spot  any bleeding wound, but nothing.
“It’s more bad that they’re just allowing their friend to do that.”
About time, Allison reunited with half of her friend group inside Tucker’s cabin while the country men were on their way back.
“Wait a minute... I remember reading about this in my sociology class.” one of Allison’s friends recalled after listening to Allison’s rebuttal on the crazed serial killer label on Tucker and Dale they had lived under for time.
You would think that hearing from their friend who they thought was kidnapped’s perspective would finally put an end to the accidental deaths, right?
“...Stockholm syndrome. When someone who’s been kidnapped ends up falling in love with their kidnapper.”
Pause.
Both you and Chris got up from sofa.
“Congratulations.” you clap deadpanned, sitting back down,“Con-gratu-lations. Whatever your name was, I hope you’re happy. Because now, you have that one going off the deep end even more,” you point to where the screen froze on Chad,“And you have Allison looking like a dickhead.” 
“You’re falling in love with him?”
Your mouth gapes from annoyance,“Why is he going off what that whore said?”
“Cuuuz! That boy is if Sierra possessed Cody.” Chris answered merrily,“And did Sierra ever have common sense?”
“Good point.”
Poor Allison was trying to insist that wasn’t true, but Naomi was so set on her nebulous statement, nodding her head away like a bitch.
“Oh my God, she’s pissing me off!” you were close to dashing the remote at the TV, “She’s not a professional, she can’t just make conclusions off medical conditions she knows nothing about! Cunt’s acting like it’s not a rare occurrence and even if it wasn’t, it’s not instant!”
“Yeah... She may be more of an airhead than Lindsay.” Chris laughs mockingly,“You should be the sociology teacher instead.”
That was actually a really big compliment,“Thank you Chris.”
“Where did that other blonde girl go?”
“Don’t know, don’t care.” Chris dismisses,“I bet you that Chad is gonna have the most gruesome death.”
“Is that Chamomile Tea cuz I can’t have that, it fucks with my asthma.”
“Oh hear that he has asthma, note that, that’s gonna be important for later.”
This hearts to hearts discussion Allison had initiated was going great until Jason and Chloe disrupts it(answering your question). Weed whacker at hand, Jason revives the accidental tragedy motif of the movie by slashing Naomi’s face off in attempt to get Tucker, her features twisting away in a bloodshed swirl.
“Aw see that was your friend this time, your friend, your friend.” you shout at Chad, hoping that would knock some sense into him that these deaths were happening by their own hand.
Chris dully rocks his head from side to side,“It just keeps going and going and going and going.”
Newcomer Jason ended up on fire after Chad threw a lampshade, and Chloe in desperate aid to help him, throws the nearest substance she could find (a paint thinner), worsening the situation and causing an explosion that ultimately killed herself, Naomi and Chad’s face to melt together with his flesh and skin.
“He has a little something...on his face.” Chris motions to the side of his face like Chad could see.
Tucker, Dale and Allison make a break for the truck to escape his impending wrath, Chad somehow immune to the burns of his disfigured face.
“Yeahh there’s no helping that thing, just go.”
Well, accidents happen and now Allison had yet to be rescued, with “captor” and “hero” correctly swapping places.
Morning came when she woke up, in an alarming tied down state under the disfigured Chad. He proceeds to lick her face moments after her new dangerous reality cut into her consciousness to your repulse.
Dale breaks into the warehouse and a fight between him and Chad commences. With Allison destined to be sawn in half slowly, Dale’s shoulders piled more with bricks of pressure to act. With a successful axe throw, Allison is freed and the two rush their way upstairs to frantically search for anything useful for their defence.
“It can’t be... They lied to me... How could they!”
“Yeah, see your life.” you snicker when Chad looks over the newspaper in seething disbelief at the painful truth of his conception,“I kinda feel sorry for him though.”
Chris illustrates his lack of empathy once more,“I expected something like that the moment I saw the killer drag her in the flashback. Talk about family lineage.”
Alas, post inhaling the boxed chamomile tea, Chad presumably falls to his death out of the window on the second floor and had been broadcasted as the scapegoat to all the deaths of the new generation of college kids. Tucker ends up in the hospital, Dale ends up in the bowling alley with Allison(who becomes his girl).
“All three of them deserved that happy ending.” You say adoringly. Right after you said that, there was screaming from other bowling girls and the stranger man who Dale had given flirting advice on was dragging the unconscious girl of his dreams in his arms in the background of him and Allison making out.
“Annnnd the cycle continues.” Chris gets the final piece of commentary in with a grin before the movie cuts to the rock credits,“Well! That was that. If I’m being honest, when you first came to me with this movie, I was thinking of something entirely different. I thought there was gonna be defying the laws of gravity or something.”
“Hah!” You crack your knuckles,“Didja like the version you got?”
He nods impressed,“Absolutely. Would you happen to know where this was filmed?”
“Errr I think, somewhere in Calgary. Why?” You should have thought twice before giving away such information to Chris.
He stands up,“No reason.”

wonder what she thinks of me
Pairing: Austin butler x (non descriptive) fem oc
Summary: Melanie and Austin pride themselves on being good people…. Except when it comes to wanting each other (wc: 919)
Warnings: emotional cheating, slight physical cheating, both parties being messy in the name of love lol
A/N: I normally don’t write about real people like this but I thought it would be fun to write a little something to celebrate Austin’s birthday. Happy birthday bestie!! ❤️🫶🏽. Also highly recommend listening while reading
Then you can both go to Paris, you live in the lavish
I'm actually happy for you
“You know a 12-minute standing ovation is insane right?” Melanie can’t help but beam through the phone.
She knows how anxious Austin was about Cannes. Hearing his voice shake a little when he mentioned the red carpet and premiere when called her yesterday.
Melanie is met with a hearty laugh, and she can hear how elated his is through the phone.
“And don’t get me started on how everyone looks!”
She sat down at her kitchen island looking through photos he had sent and some off social media. She can’t help but marvel at how glamorous everyone looks.
“I wish you were here to see it. Maybe we can go somewhere is France sometime next year,” he said earnestly, spewing off things they could do and places they could visit.
Making future plans. Austin has a bad habit of doing that.
And the timing couldn’t be more ironic when she comes across of him with her. It reminds her of what she’s doing. Pining over her… friend? She really doesn’t know what Austin is to her now.
One moment they’re friends supporting each other’s careers, trying to work out time differences to talk. The next he’s sleeping over or telling her he’s gonna take her to France… all while having a girlfriend.
She doesn’t know when the shift happened. When it when from platonic and sweet to something more. Something that leaves her stomach in knots and wondering what his lips feel like.
Her heart drops into her stomach when she hears a feminine voice in the background call his name.
“I need to get going but I’m gonna call you when I have time,” says Austin, sounding distracted and distant.
Before Melanie can get a full goodbye out, he’s gone. She blinks at her phone. She has to keep reminding herself this is good for him and good for his career, no matter how much it hurts.
I wonder what she thinks of me when she sees my name
On your phone screen, you drop everything just for me
Melanie quickly realizes she’s a selfish person. A selfish and jealous person.
She knows it’s a bad idea to call him. Austin just got done with Elvis promotions. She knows he’s tired, and she knows he’s been seen with her.
But Melanie also knows how Austin is.
So, it’s not surprising that when she calls and asks him to come over, he instantly agrees. And she would be lying if she said the guilty feeling didn’t dissipate as soon as she opens the door, and he pulls her into the warmest hug and kisses her on the top of her head.
She selfishly stops feeling bad when he’s lying in her bed, sipping wine, and recounting his favorite moments from the whirlwind couple of months he’s had.
His voice rings multiple during the night, and they both know who it is. Austin seems in no rush to answer let alone leave.
Melanie should remind herself about how she would feel if the roles were reversed, but the idea slips her brain when she feels his lips brush against her neck. Then work up her jaw and end on hers.
The need to do the right thing gets all fuzzy when his hand slips under her shirt.
God she’s horrible person.
It's never wrong when it feels right
I'll hold you close and pretend you're mine
I'll be the sun against your skine
Melanie tries to stop it, she really does. Tells him they’re better than this, better than hurting some girl whose done nothing to deserve this. And he agrees… for a week. Then he’s at her door with sad smile.
“I’m kind realizing I’m not better than that.”
And with that, they spend the night together again.
The glow and warmth that emanates between them when they’re around each other is palatable. She tries to not to feel it when they greet each other at his intimate birthday dinner. She tells him in advance it’s not a good idea she even goes, but he tells her she can’t miss his birthday festivities. She feels sick when she gets a text from an unknown number inviting her. Going to a party thrown by his girlfriend, who does that?
“Oh, wow the famous Melanie. It’s so nice to finally meet you!” her smile is perfect, and her tone is bright.
But she knows better than that. It’s a loaded sentence, and she deserves it.
Melanie is reminded how horrible they are when his girlfriend gives a sweet speech about him, while Mel feels Austin’s hand on the inside of her thigh.
Logic gets thrown out the window when he pulls her to the side near the back of the restaurant and whispers to her how amazing she looks. How he wishes he could be with her tonight.
She’s gone back and forth with the pros and cons. Frankly the cons always seem to out-way the pros. But then he calls her his baby and tells her how special she is to him and the morally awful decisions they make seem ok.
At the end of the night, Melanie watches to the two of them leave arm in arm, peaking out the window at the few paparazzi snapping photos of the beautiful couple.
Maybe one day she’ll learn.
Tell me you love me, 'cause I just wanna be your baby
Well, that's the price I gotta pay
I wonder what she thinks of me

Some songs that remind me of makugae hand picked from the Spotify of yours truly. Yes I’m very mentally well why do you ask
part 1 because this got too long with all the lyrics
Sure hope the formatting isn't fucked up lol. Also I forgot how links work but all this is on Spotify
As per popular demand and in no particular order, an un-exhaustive list of songs I bend metal bars with my mind to:
Bodybag by Chloe Moriondo
I don't know where exactly you expect my head to go When you look at me it's like I lose control You know that you're to blame when you say my name When you say my name, yeah … Don't know if I hate you or if I wanna date you Put you in a bodybag instead of my bed … I could cry when I hear you speak But that just makes me angry I wanna kiss you on your cheeks But I also wanna punch your teeth in
Such a Gaelio coded song. And he really did put McG in a bodybag instead of his bed so :D
Stardom by King Gnu
The English lyrics on the Internet are Wrong so I made up my own that hopefully don't sound like a bot wrote them
Behind the smile I tried to make up in my dreams How many times have I shed tears? Remembering the roads I have walked How many times have I swallowed humiliation? It's not quite like yearning But there's no end to the dreams of people who continue walking on the right path … Tearing through the clouds up into the atmosphere And right down to the end of Hell … I've overcame the nightmares from that day Then I'll reach for the spotlight no matter how many times … Life has to come to an end But there'll be no end to my name Poisoned by the light of glory, just beyond the limit Don't fear the end Laugh it off as recklessness Now that I've done all I can All there's left is to wait for fate
Apparently this was written for the Tokyo Olympics (aren't the lyrics too ominous though??). I don't really care about sports so this is a McGillis song to me
Father by The Front Bottoms
But you look good tonight, girlfriend Can I sleep in your bed? And when I crawl out in the morning Can I stay inside your head? 'Cause you were high school And I was just more like real life And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend But I was just more like his wife I'll do the push-ups, I'll wear the makeup I'll do whatever he wants all night 'Cause you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend But I was just more like real life
To me this is McGillis pov about Gaelio and it makes me want to chew on drywall. Izn*rio is there too although we all wish he weren't. (Ignore the heterosexuality.)
Arms Tonite by Mother Mother
I know people have opinions about Mother Mother songs in character playlists BUT the lyrics are too good to not put in this one:
I fell in your arms tonight I fell hard in your arms tonight, it was nice I died in your arms tonight I slipped through into the afterlife, it was nice White light in your arms tonight I lost sight in your arms tonight, it was nice And hey, you, don't you think it's kinda cute That I (I) died (died) right inside your arms tonight? That I'm fine even after I have died? Because it was in your arms I died
Fairly straightforward McDeath song.
(In a way it was the best possible way for McGillis to go out, in a fight not after he get arrested and tried. Or he could've blown up in space and not die in the arms of his historians-will-say-they-were-best-friends best friend)
Crystalline by Circrush ft. GUMI
Tell me what to say And lead me through the shadows Show me the escape Where you go I will follow … I'm falling apart piece by piece To shards of what you have made of me But I've risen above all that I have become Turned from the pain I was trained to love … I am fixated on all of the things we were together But those are fragments that are better off lost forever
Return (Kaeriuchi) by John ft. Hatsune Miku
The English lyrics are wrong again lol
I won't forgive you if you keep up that irresponsible attitude Can't you never show yourself in front of me again? Do you know of blue roses? They go well with sad words Though they would be a waste for you Take this! The gunshot heard in the middle of the night And this upside down love Are still waiting to strike back The genuinely lonesome ringing cheers And those annoying trash Are still waiting to strike back It's the last stand
A song that fits Vidar!Gaelio well
Love and War by Fleurie
Lover, hunter, friend and enemy You will always be every one of these
There are so many songs that go nothing's fair in love and war for some reason
Romantic Homicide by d4vd
In the back of my mind You died And I didn't even cry No, not a single tear And I'm sick of waiting patiently for someone that won't even arrive In the back of my mind I killed you And I didn't even even regret it I can't believe I said it But it's true I hate you
I know I know another overused character playlist song but it matches if you interpret it in a Gaelio is coping with killing McGillis and failing type of way
Say It. by Yorushika
This is quickly becoming just me translating songs wth
I'm sure I'll be thinking of you on the last day of my life Although it's a shame that I won't be able to say everything Ah, someday on the last day of my life, I'll say that you’re gone Even, even, even, even, even more properly … And on the last day of my life, if I'll be able to see you I’m sure I’ll be singing of love even on the last day of my life So I can say it wasn't all for nothing Ah, someday on the last day of my life, although I still won't be able to believe that you're gone More, more, more, more more, more, more, about you I'll say it even more, more, more more, more properly
I expose myself as the biggest Yorushika fan. Something about not being able to say what you really wanted to say to the person before they died...
Spiracle by Flower Face
Not pasting the entire lyrics lol but here are some ones I really like
I want the parts of you you only show To the corner of your bathroom mirror I want the parts of your hand-grenade heart That beat slowly with anger and fear … I want your quiet, your screaming and thrashing The salt on your lips and the hands that God gave you And I want your violence, your silent sedation Your moon eyes, your telescope, morbid fixation … I want you, butterfly, I want you, sailor I am your lover and I am your jailor
Something about desiring someone so deeply and wanting everything about them...This is just an insanely good song
part 2 very soon. I have a stomach ache and am going to watch youtube videos in bed now (please don't judge my taste in music this is the only thing i have going for me)

Unofficial Bluey Timeline: Part I
This post will be covering the beginning of season 1 of Bluey, starting from Magic Xylophone to Shadowlands. As a reminder, as we are at the beginning of the show, we start at Period 1, where Bluey and Bingo are 6 and 4 respectively. Period 1 won't take until season 2 to end, so there's not much to worry about.
The Magic Xylophone - Episode 1
Bluey and Bingo make use of a supernatural xylophone to control their dad. It's here where they learn to take turns.
Debuts & Details:
Aside from debuting the main Heeler family, Chloe's mum and her newborn baby appear for a scene (before Chloe which is odd).
Chilli describes Bandit picking his nose when they first met.
We get a first look at the Selfie portrait in the kids' bedroom. It stays the same throughout the series, but this episode uses the first iteration of the image, which lasts until about season 2.
In terms of the timeline, this automatically gets the first position, being that this is the first episode. There's nothing else to it, pretty much.
Favorite Part: When Bingo freezes Bluey to discuss her feelings is a great moment
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hospital - Episode 2
Bluey and Bingo operate on their dad using their doctor knowledge.
Debuts & Details:
No character debuts, but we do see that cat plush in later episodes; We also see 'Polly Puppy' appear, and has prickles that need to be removed
We get a first look at the kitchen fridge, which is one of the frequent locations we'll look for throughout the timeline. However, the view in this episode is blocked by Bandit
We learn that cats can sneak inside a dog's belly button while asleep.
Bandit uses the alias 'Telemachus', making it the first play name used in the series; meanwhile Bluey and Bingo are referred to as 'Doctor' and 'Nurse' respectively.
Nothing much to say about this episode, as there's little detail about its placement in the timeline. Therefore, it gets placed after Magic Xylophone.
Favorite Part: That part where Bluey says "STING!" That's gotta be my favorite part. You'll never guess which instance I'm referring to. ever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keepy Uppy - Episode 3
Bluey and Bingo engage in a game of "Keepy Uppy", where they prevent the premature death of a poor, red balloon.
Debuts and Details:
We see the debut of Lucky and Pat (aka Lucky's Dad, he's done his hammy)
We get a clear look at the fridge, which contains three papers held by a blue, red, and yellow magnet, as well as letter magnets of 'B' and 'C'
Again, another episode that's pretty timeless and fun with it's idea. A certified Bluey classic, if you will.
Favorite Part: "She saying Good Morniiiing!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daddy Robot - Episode 4
Bluey and Bingo employ a so-called "Daddy Robot" to tidy their room. It goes exactly as expected.
Debuts & Details:
Debut of 'Daddy Robot' as well as 'Mummy Robot', who suspiciously look just like Bandit and Chilli 🤔
This marks the first instance of a 'fluffy' by Bandit
Bandit is seen eating a bowl of leftover fried rice, possibly from the 'Takeaway' place.
Just noticed the fridge handles are flipped in this episode compared to the previous episode. I believe this is the only instance of this, making it an error, though I think it's so the audience could see Bandit eating. Don't quote me on that tho.
Pretty goofy episode, I enjoy the character of 'Daddy Robot'. Such a shame we never see him ever again. Depending on the interpretation, this could take place either before or after 'Takeaway'.
Favorite Part: The first smoochy kiss
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shadowlands - Episode 5
Bluey, Coco, and Snickers learn to play by the rules of Shadowlands, or risk being eaten by crocodiles.
Debuts & Details:
Coco, Snickers, and their respective mums make their debut
First episode to take place outside of the house
Chilli will eat your cupcakes
Very highly important episode, as it establishes the importance the rules have within an imaginary game. Quite literally the backbone of the show.
Favorite Part: The problem solving during Shadowlands is neat to witness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
With that, thus completes part 1 of the Unofficial Bluey Timeline. This is generally how every post will be structured. Leave any comments about any episode discussed, or about the structure of these posts. Being as I'm new to blogging, any feedback would be helpful.

The Adviser (11/40) | Bechloe Mafia AU
The Star Witness - Chapter Preview (Read the rest at ao3)
"Grazie mille," Beca replied. "I'm sorry if the whole thing was so boring."
"Oh no, that's not it," Chloe then said, looking embarrassed for a moment before she procured a long black box from her bag as well. "Here."
"What's this?" Beca asked, as she accepted it. Once she opened the box, she saw a sleek black pen with her name engraved.
"A little something extra to show my gratitude," Chloe then said. "You asked me to have faith in you, Beca. I did, and you kept your promise. I know it's not a suit, but you're still a lawyer. You write a lot, take notes, all that stuff. It's just something to remember me by whenever you work. And well, at least, once this is done, when you do use it, I hope it reminds you to write me from time to time."
"I can just call, you know," Beca then noted, but she nevertheless thanked her for the pen.
"Yeah, but there's something magical about writing people letters. You don't get to hear what the other people say in real time, you're not as guarded because of it, and it lets you express yourself better, more clearly. So, for whenever you return to Italy, write me, okay?"
Beca looked at her speechless, moved by the care and thought Chloe had put in selecting that simple gift. "Of course."
"Well, I guess that's that, I should probably let you go now," Chloe then said, "What with all the people throwing themselves at you, you're probably busy with managing your time with all the opera dates."
Beca laughed. So, she's bothered by that, she thought to herself. "I would, if only I had given those people my number."
"Didn't you do that?" Chloe asked coolly, trying to seem uninterested and detached. "I mean, I saw you give your number to Dr. Matthews, the woman one, Hannah, not the creepy husband."
"I gave her Lilly's number," Beca then replied. "And Lilly has since replaced her number."
"Really?" Chloe asked, trying to pretend she wasn't pleasantly surprised to hear that. "Why? I'd have thought someone like you… well…"
Beca chuckled. "Maybe I did, but I'm not interested."
"In her… or…" Chloe then went on to ask.
Beca shook her head. How many times had she gone out with some new stranger she has charmed? How many women have walked in and out of her life already, knowing they were just simply passing by? With Beca knowing it would never amount to anything? Her life came with dangers and risks. She couldn't possibly drag anyone in it. She couldn't be selfish. Not that anyone held her attention long enough to want them to be there for longer than a fleeting moment.
But for some reason, Beca couldn't find the courage to tell that to Chloe.
And Beca didn't want to answer the question why. She simply couldn't allow herself to.
She had a mission at the core of her visit to the states. Sure, Babel ended up being one of them, but it didn't change the fact that at the end of the day, Beca had to choose the family that took her in and raised her. For Don Fabio, and the others who needed someone dependable to lead them.
Beca couldn't let wishful thinking sway her. She simply couldn't entertain those thoughts.
Instead, she changed the topic.
"Come one, you've gotten me more than what I've asked for, it's time I return the favor," Beca replied.
"You're going to buy me a suit?" Chloe jokingly asked.
"No, but let me buy dinner," Beca offered.
"A little early for that," Chloe pointed out.
"Fine. Coffee then? Some shopping if you want. We can drop the suit and anything else we buy in my car, and then dinner? We can even call Aubrey and Emily if you want," Beca then proposed.
"No way, today is our day, we can celebrate with them later," Chloe then said, wrapping her hands around one of Beca's arms. "Come on then, let's go. You promised me my dirty water," Chloe teased.
Beca laughed. How much had she been smiling lately? Laughing too? She wasn't sure. She had certainly lost count.
Has she even smiled and laughed this much before?
No, she never had.
Will she ever again? After all this was done?
Beca didn't want to find the answer out.
For now, all she wanted was to enjoy the time she spent with one Chloe Beale.

Class of Villainy - Headcanons: Part 1
I imagine that Ivan speaks with a southern accent in this universe (Sounds like a teenaged version of Arthur Morgan. Basically sounds like this)
Nora is actually quite friendly to Lila. Sure, she’s Alya’s lackey, but Nora just has a lovable soul. Lila wishes she could join the side of good.
Lila comes from a poor background, and is generally amazed by how big and expensive this school is. She’d be having a blast if it weren’t for her villainous bullies.
The only people allowed to refer to Queen Candy as her real name of Rose are Juleka and her other villainous classmates.
The monarch kids generally lord their status over the heroic students. Marc, Nathaniel and Rose command the kids to bow down to their power, and expect complete power over these peons. Zoe pretends to be humble and kind, but it’s only an act to seem approachable “for a princess” and she’ll drop the act once she’s elected.
As hybrid rulers, Ismael and Alix attack both humans and especially hybrids. It doesn’t matter if you’re a predator-hybrid or prey-hybrid, they treat you like dirt. It’s a good thing that DuPont is a pretty accepting space for hybrids, and the human students rally to help the bullied hybrids fight back, not that it works.
Chloe is great friends with Marinette and Sabrina, even if she finds the girls to be a bit psycho. The ginger and Marinette start out hating one another, and Chloe decides to help them get along, for the sake of evil and for advancing her own plans. She organizes a shopping spree with the girls, who find out they have a hatred for cute animals (Marinette hates dogs, and Sabrina hates mice). They become frenemies (They’re friendly, but they’ll still bicker and argue with eachother at all times.)
Nino feels a bit insecure about himself. Compared to those in the group who have magical powers, athletic skills, big muscles, are, goddesses, royalty, or just plain murderers, Nino’s just a dude who’s good at conning. Hell! Denise can scam people, but they have magic! His friends and girlfriend are able to cheer him up, reminding him that his love for being a bad guy is what got him in here in the fist place. He’s a villain, and it doesn’t matter how small the crimes are.
Zoe and Cosette have the sense to act like their canon selves when interacting with classmates, in order to gain power and votes for becoming the School President and Vice President
For three years, Adrien, Kagami, and Luka fight to win Marinette’s cruel heart. She knows about their attraction, and finds their obsession to be romantic. She lets Adrien and Kagami scheme and fight one another, while Luka just tries his best, and she revels in the drama. Right before graduation, she tells them that she has love in her heart for all of them. They decide to join forces as a maniacal polycule. They can all be villainous lovers, and the whole group celebrates with a party.
The classes genuinely like to be teammates with one another. Sure there’s rivalry from various students, but it’s friendly, and they’re loyal to the end.
And that’s just part 1 of my headcanons. Lemme know what you think. As always @artzychic27 and @msweebyness. I’d love to hear everybody’s headcanons in replies, reblogs, and new posts.

Thinking about how good a The Quarry and LIS crossover would be and it seems relevant to your interests
I will now be thinking of this now stop forever
This is mostly the original life is strange cast plus Steph bc I didn’t know where to fit the other characters, but Lyla and Kaitlyn would for sure get along
Rachel and Emma would get along so well and like 3 weeks into their friendship both realize they’re playing to an audience and have a moment of “oh god what is real”
Upon meeting Abi, Rachel would definitely be like “you know, you remind me of my friend Max”, Max and Abi would definitely get along, Abi could show Max her drawings and Max would show off her photography, I feel like they’d listen to music together and just kind of walk around Arcadia bay together stop to take photos or draw
Emma and Abi would definitely go on double dates with either Victoria and Max or Rachel and Chloe
TQ Max would it hilarious that their names are the same and LIS max is just like “haha yeah sure, dear god Chloe please help me”
Laura would get along with Chloe and balance her rebelliousness like “hey, let’s get that unbridled rage out in healthy non-crime related ways!”
Warren and Dylan become instant friends, Warren makes an obscure science joke and Dylan is the only one that gets it, he soon after compliments Warrens shirt which ends up in a conversation about Dylans cat Schrödinger
Ryan would not know how to handle both Laura and Chloe, but here he is, stuck with them anyways. Chloe and Ryan would get along very well too, bonding over music and clothes, and she’d be so down to listen to bizarre yet bonafide given what happened with Max and her powers
Oh my god Steph and Ryan would become absolute best friends, they would fall into conversation so easily. Ryan tells steph that he’s really into podcasts and that his boyfriend actually used to run the radio at Hacketts Quarry, so she wants to meet him and eventually Dylan co-host with Steph for a day, it was chaotic, everyone loved it
Kaitlyn and Emma are unafraid to call Victoria out on her bullshit if she’s getting too harsh, but thankfully Victoria has grown
I do love Kate, Jacob, and Nick but I just couldn’t think of much with them

JJK characters from most to least likely to prefer a clingy s/o
This will be the last headcanon I take because I simply stress about it every time lol. I know it's silly, but it does my head in so I wrote this as ficlets/drabbles.
ALSO. I mean for these to be fluffy and sweet but they might have gotten angst filled instead. Oops.

JJK Characters from most to least likely to prefer a clingy s/o
Contents Warning: None, it's perfectly safe ya'll.
word count: 1k give or take
Tonight, please just whisper
As softly 
As you can
That I am not hard to love.
By Chloe Frayne
Tumblr media
ও ITADORI YUJI //  absolutely adores the clingy, needy you
“When I look at you, I see everything.”
The truth was, your love could be suffocating.
A tidal wave; an unexpected raging storm, onslaught of waves, after waves crashing against him. Your affection was a whirlpool, sucking him in, and dragging him down to you and only you. 
The truth was, he didn’t mind.
Your sweet adoring eyes that gazed at him, wishes embedded in their sparkle, was all he needed. He loved the way you’d run to hug him when you would see him, even if it was the third time that day–the fourth, the fifth. He loved the way you fit in his embrace, all of your softness filling in the gaps he never knew his body had. He loved the way you’d always find an excuse to climb on his lap, to bury your face in his neck.
He loved the easy way you melted into his touch, how easy it was for you to remind him, constantly, that you liked him. He never once thinks you are too much. He lets it sink in, steeps in your love. There’s no amount of teasing, or judgment, that would ever make him change his mind, push you away.
You need him, and he needs you.
Tumblr media
ও Nobara Kugisaki // may act like she doesn’t like it, but she really really does
“I am clumsy, and my words do not form as I wish
So let me kiss you instead”
You’re always on her phone; notifications popping up whenever she pulls her eyes away. You send a flurry of texts–always inquisitive, always full of praise and thinly veiled requests for confirmation. Her responses are always a beat too slow.
She doesn’t know how to respond sometimes, unsure of what words you wish to hear from her. So she sends you selfies instead; photographic evidence of her day to day routine, a glimpse at her life–where your spot is missing, where she wishes you were there instead.
The moments she gets to see you, gets to have you in her space without the hindrance of hovering idiots–she never lets you go. Her hands claim yours, she plays with your fingers, runs them through your hair. She asks about your day, asks if you’ve used that one skin product she bought you, asks if you’ve eaten.
Confessions of undying love would never tumble from her lips, she’s a bit too cynical for that, but she thinks she believes in love when you kiss her so softly as if she’d break. She wants to believe in happily-ever-after when you brush your lips against her cheeks, breathe her name against the heat of her neck. Your sweet praises spur her to fight on, she holds you tightly as if she was afraid of stirring–afraid to eventually wake up from this prolonged dream.
You were you, and she likes every single part, even the ones you don’t.
Tumblr media
ও Gojo Satoru // commitment is not his forte, but you make it hard to run away when you’re just so cute
“I just want to build a bridge from my heart to yours”
He prided himself in knowing everything; seeing every possibility, and knowing the exit route.
Yet somehow he has been snatched into your orbit, spinning and spinning with no end in sight. Your hand brushes against his, constantly, as if you didn’t trust your eyes so you needed touch to push away your fears. His hands dwarfed yours; he’d grab one and tuck it into his pant’s pocket, playing with your fingers away from the view of others. 
He always pictured himself an exhibitionist. In fact, he loved when you’d kiss him in public for everyone to see–but sometimes, he felt the need to keep you away from the world.
Perhaps it was fear. Fear of losing you, fear of discovery. He wasn’t sure, all he knew is he wanted to keep you to himself. The more you showered him with affection, the more you showed him how needy you were, how much you needed him to tell you and show you that he cared for you, the more desperate he became.
Perhaps fear was the gateway to obsession. 
Tumblr media
ও Megumi Fushiguro // touch starved, emotionally constipated, he easily becomes overwhelmed by an extremely clingy s/o–it’s a conflicting situation
“He is a storm, and storms devastate…”
He is not sure where this went wrong. Is it wrong? He can’t decide.
Anxious excitement had turned into anxious dread at the sight of his phone lighting up; whenever he’d hear the familiar ringtone cutting through the silence of his room. You needed him, he knew. He just didn’t know how to reach you. Perhaps, this was just the way you showed affection; plethora of texts with funny images attached, jokes that he had no way of understanding.
He didn’t mind, but sometimes you’d become moody; taciturn. You’d jokingly complain at his late deliveries, quoting him to be worse than the government mail. Megumi five to seven business days Fushiguro was quickly becoming his new nickname. He had taken it in stride but it was starting to wear on him.
Especially when he noticed the way your lips don’t quite brush against his when he kisses you–the way you’re quick to turn your head away, when before you always wanted more; more kisses, more of his touch.
An apology chokes him, so he tries to kiss you more instead. It isn’t enough to ease your fears, brush the wild flyaway hairs of insecurities. So you argue, constantly, making up with wild passion in between.
He’s not sure when it will all come crashing down, how long he can last, how long will you put up with it. Selfishly, he ignores the warning signs, the blowing flags of doom pulling your smile upside down when he tells you he’s busy with work, that he’s too tired when you ask him for attention, too stressed when you want to talk about your day.
Sometimes it feels like you are sinking together, in the ocean, a broken ship with no sail. Sometimes it feels like you’re passing at sea, two separate boats, two journeys unmapped.

My Review of Yuri is My Job!
Tumblr media
Random pick. That’s all!
Tumblr media
Hime Shiraki seems to be the fan-favorite at school. Her cute looks and good grades are a target for the males at her school. Hime doesn’t want to waste her time with those scrubs. Actually, her goal in life is to be some millionaire’s trophy wife. No lie, she’s a gold digger. Things take a sharp-left turn into WTF territory when she ends up in a bit of an accident with another young girl (named Mai Koshiba) and winds up working at a café because this girl broke her arm due to this accident.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Tumblr media
This place is known as Café Liebe and it has an all-girl school theme to it. By that I mean the girls who work there lay it on thick with the acting. Watching these girls felt like I was watching an over-the-top lesbian sim trying to be like Ouran High School Host Club. No lie! The girl Hime accidently hurt in the trip and fall is the manager for the café. So, I guess Hime is obligated to take over some duties here. Thankfully, the staff accepted the addition of a new member. Except for one girl (Mitsuki Yano). Apparently in their first act, Hime called Mitsuki “Onee-sama”. It did not go over well. Never call Mitsuki “Onee-sama”.
Tumblr media
Mitsuki is quite the actress as she puts on a sweet persona for the customers, but is very strict and to the point when it comes to Hime. Go back several years ago and you’ll find that these two were quite different. Yeah, these two share a colorful past. Back in elementary school, they wound up best friends. While Mitsuki was timid, she was able to hang out with someone as popular and outgoing as Hime. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding and a few too many little white lies ended this friendship. This ends with Hime being shunned by all of her classmates and Mitsuki transferring to a different school.
Neither girl forgot this moment in time. Now that several years have passed, are these two girls going to get along like they used to?
BETWEEN THE SUB: This of course is streaming only on Crunchyroll. It has nearly been a year since this first came out and there’s still no sign of an English dub. I swear, I find it funny when there are those seiyuus you can spot exactly who they are within a few seconds. Yukari Tamura is one of those people. Either that or after 15 years of watching Higurashi, her cutesy voice is permanently drilled into my brain. Speaking of Higurashi, do those café uniforms remind you of Satoko Hojo’s dress a little bit? Whatever! Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.
*Hime is played by Yui Ogura (known for Marnie on Pokemon Journeys, Vanica on Black Clover, Futaba on Magia Record, Sumika on Yuri Kuma Arashi, and Rinne on Vivid Strike)
*Mitsuki is played by Sumire Uesaka (known for Nagatoro on Miss Nagatoro, Shalltear on Overlord, Dekomori on Chunibyo, Angela on Carole & Tuesday, Chloe on Miss Kobayashi, and Aya on Tonikawa)
*Kanoko is played by Minami Tanaka (Lily on Zombieland Saga, Mary on Kakegurui, Nako on Hitoribocchi, and Hinata on Assassination Classroom)
*Sumika is played by Makoto Koicihi (known for Elza on Interspecies Reviewers and Young Jun on Tomo-chan is a Girl)
Tumblr media
SHIPPING: Hmm…oh, this definitely is a Yuri anime. It’s in the fucking title! But I can’t snuff out anything canon-y. Hime and Mitsuki are frenemies borderlining on reconciled friends. Yes, I realize I gave this particular ship a nod in my 2023 superlative list. If there’s more to go on like with more content, maybe I can get behind this. And no, the show they put on at the café is not a selling point just yet. It’s like watching all the flirting in Ouran, you just take the cheesy bait, sisterhood charms and all. For the time being, I’m just happy that these two are slowly on the mend after the fallout that happened years prior. But if I can’t go on about Hime and Mitsuki, what can I…?!
Tumblr media
Wait a minute! Hime’s friend, Kanoko. She always seems to be latched onto Hime. OH! She has a rolodex of pictures on her phone. I think we have a winner. I’m quite frightened by Kanoko as the series goes on. She’s giving off these crazy yandere eyes when she’s being asked about Hime. She wants Hime all to herself. She wants to be her one-and-only best friend and for Hime not to be involved in a love interest. And yet, she doesn’t want to step forward and go further by starting one with Hime.
Tumblr media
And that’s when Sumika gets involved. So, here I am wondering if Sumika is going to get romantically involved in this. She’s already had her heart broken prior to these juniors joining the café. But then I see Sumika with Kanoko a lot nearing the end of the series and wondering if she’s into her. Or if it’s just this kin-ship because both girls like someone who is definitely not into them.
ENDING: The café is now doing this weird election called the blume. Or something like that! Customers and the staff vote for who they want as Blume-sama. As per usual, Mitsuki seems to be the popular one to win. During this time, we start to see the anger arise from the soft-spoken Kanoko. It is quite clear she loves Hime as more than just a friend. Hime has helped Kanoko so much after meeting in middle school. Kanoko refuses to lose Hime to anyone, especially the one who hurt Hime all those years ago.
Tumblr media
This is when we see Sumika get involved with Kanoko. Usually, we don’t see Sumika get involved in anything. But due to these yandere-in-the-making circumstances, Sumika is ready to shed some light on her on past at the café. Sumika and this other girl named Nene at the café were “sisters” much like Hime and Mitsuki are currently. But then, Nene winds up being taken away by another employee in a romantic way and their sisterhood ended. If Sumika winds up Blume-sama, she’s going to make sure that everyone’s sisterhood will stick and not break off like what happened to her. And just as I thought, Sumika wound up the Blume-sama and it seemed like she issued what she wants to see at the café for the next year. Everyone seems satisfied with the results and Kanoko is finally calm and not teetering over the edge of no return. Sumika then has Kanoko become her sister at the café.
Tumblr media
The final episode we take a break from the drama of the Blume election and lesbian drama to notice that Mitsuki got a big rack. Yeah, that’s the dilemma of the last episode! First of all, how did nobody know that she’s got a big rack? I noticed it from minute-one! The summer uniform kinda drew attention to it that it was noticeable to the rest of the coworkers. This whole thing was settled by the halfway point and then we refocus on Hime’s ignorance at work. She’s not well familiar with everything on the menu yet and it still frustrates Mitsuki. So, Hime is still pretty bad at her job 12 episodes later.
Tumblr media
By the end of the final episode, is there finally some Yuri development between Hime and Mitsuki? I still don’t see it when it comes to Hime. Mitsuki on the other hand, we started to see some blushing. But by then, there was only two minutes left in the season finale and it’s like, what’s the point! I’m going to give this anime some credit here. At least the story didn’t drag on and on with this Hime vs. Mitsuki stuff and we got their backstory early on in the season.
Other than that, I feel like this series was a bit of a miss than a hit. I wasn’t expecting a full-on lesbian romance like Sakura Kiss and the concept of this café has its good moments. It’s just the whole Blume-sama situation fell flat for me and I’m just blah to everything. And I feel like many others are a little underwhelmed with this series as well. Saying that leaves me a little pessimistic about there being a continuation despite the manga still in publication and a lot of open opportunities for characters.
Tumblr media
For example, there’s still a chance we could see more from Sumika and Nene. Nene still works there, but she’s in the kitchen. Nene isn’t with that other girl anymore. Could there possibly be something more between her and Sumika? I know we had that exchange between the two near the end of the series, but still… Aside from that, Mitsuki opening up more about how she feels involving Hime could be something to come in the future. But that’s if we get a future to this. Eh, make up your own mind about this one. If you’re looking for a good Yuri to watch, Bloom Into You and Aoi Hana are still my go-tos.
Crunchyroll has the whole series available for streaming.

My Testimony
I was raised in a church that rejected me…
If I wasn’t excluded I was cornered. I specifically remember getting up to sing and play for solos and feeling so much hatred towards me. Mind you, I had no conflict among these people. They hated me because of who I was related to. If I received any recognition for my hard work, it was considered favoritism. Which led to leadership overlooking anything and everything that was happening to me. If someone targeted me and caused conflict, I was expected to apologize. If I was good at something, I was expected to hide it. This led me down the road of extreme loneliness and emotional suffering. At some points, almost taking my life, believing no okie would miss me if I left, if anything they’d be glad. But God has stopped me every single time in those movements. So instead, I learned to do something even harder, live with it. Adapting to the constant pain I went through twice a week, I accepted that I wasn’t going to attend church for the people any longer but to be in the presence of God and receive his word. And I learned to have fun by myself, not hanging to do things with someone freed me from the constant hoping for someone to come and be decent to me, because at that time I had no one like that around me. Being raised by a God loving family, I always seek the right thing to do. And I knew the treatment of these people was not God’s fault because he was the only one there for me at all times. He was my comfort in this storm. But I also questioned why this was happening to me? Like anyone would, I wondered why I wasn’t receiving the justice I deserved. I simply wanted these people who hurt me to be held accountable.
I prayed a Psalms 82 prayer often times when I was frustrated with my circumstances.
But then, when I was 20 years old, my family decided to leave the church and find a new one, and they wanted me to go with them. They left the decision up to me on whether to stay or leave, but emphasized that I deserved so much better. And you’d think I would immediately say yes but I was hesitant. I was involved in a lot of ministries, one of them including youth ministry. I was hesitant because I wasn’t sure if that was God’s plan for me. I didn’t want to leave if it wasn’t the will of God for me to leave, because I’ve seen cases of others doing so and it not ending well. But then one day, as I was thinking about it and reading my word at my desk at work (it was a pretty slow day) I feel this whisper within me that told me to turn to
1 Corinthians 1:10-11
“Now I plead with you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you”
My name is Chloe. And I had no idea my name was in the Bible. But when I read that verse I felt as if wind from all directions was circling me, and I kept hearing “it’s time to go, it’s time to go, it’s time to go” and so I left. Since then I have found people of the same faith as my precious church who show me love and treat me as their own. Which made me realize that there were actually people out there like me who just want to help, love and serve. Since then, I have prayed for those people who treated me so wrongfully. And since then, every single person who has caused me harm has been held accountable by God. I’ve learned so much through the pain and trauma I endured through. In Romans 3, it says whatever was meant for evil, God will turn it to where it glorifies him. From my past, I learned independence, confidence, forgiveness, compassion. When I entered the storm I came out forever changed for the better. I thank God that I’m still alive today to tell you my testimony. I thank God for being by my side at all times. And I hope this encourages you and reminds you that God will take care of you. He will take of it. He will take care of everything in his timing.
:)
