#literally one of my fuckin favourite movies ever

[i-left-my-room-tidy]

+also can you recommend techniques or kekkei genkai i’d really appreciate it

[thanks for this ask!]

I'm assuming you're the same person who asked about the OP thing as well lmao. I'd be happy to recommend some stuff!

my own kekkei genkai in my Naruto DR are really just the sharingan and shikotsumyaku, as my father was an uchiha and my mother was a kaguya. i just looked at a list of all the canon abilities and shot for the strongest, most coveted ones.

but! if you need some ideas for a kekkei genkai of your own, here are some of the ones I've come up with, in the past!

[lmao btw i wrote this list like almost two years ago don't come for me if it sounds silly, and my apologies if it's a bit short]

≿❈≾

(1) TIME-BASED ABILITIES

i always thought it'd be interesting if there was something that allowed users to manipulate space and time, exactly like how tobirama and minato were able to utilise a space-time jutsu. why not be able to do both separately? maybe you could have an ability where you could see rifts in time, allowing you to glimpse past or future events; which is especially useful for intel and sabotage.

on that note, the inspiration for this was the sharingan's izanagi, izanami, and kamui abilities.

(2) LUMINOKINESIS

i was rewatching Arcane when this came to me. i remembered one of LoL's cinematics for Wild Rift (the one with the teams on the battlefield), and thought of Lux. then i thought of Iridessa, one of the Disney fairies, and that one Tinker Bell movie where they all accidentally switched powers. and then i thought, wouldn't light manipulation be such an OP ability?

something like prismatic refraction could allow you to create illusions, project blinding beams, or even bend light to make yourself invisible. it's ideal for stealth. but at the same time, you could even use it offensively—similar to how Superman shoots fuckin' laser beams out of his eyes, or how Usagi (Sailor Venus) creates said beams of light to attack enemies.

- - -

(3) AVATAR-INSPIRED ABILITIES

i cannot stress this one enough!!! take literally any power you could from Avatar: the Last Airbender or Avatar: the Legend of Korra—and amp it up to the max! all of my abilities in my Naruto DR have been based mostly on these two shows, with the occasional inspiration from other fandoms of course, but really these two. the elemental manipulation, along with the 'specialisations' are not only fucking cool to use—they're also incredibly useful in mundane situations (in the DR, at least). I'm pretty sure I've made posts about those shenanigans in the past lmfao.

at that, consider these, if ever: metallokinesis, plasma manipulation, astral projection, geokinesis, and atmokinesis.

- - -

(4) INSPIRATION FROM OTHER FANDOMS

the ones I've listed above are honestly just my own favourite abilities, and the ones that quickly came to mind as i was writing this. but those are just a portion of the vast majority that you could find from other sources! there are countless more to consider, abilities that might not necessarily be included in the world of Naruto itself but still something very much to consider. who doesn't love a good crossover? i know i do. hell, I've even used some of my own Naruto DR abilities in my HP/GoT DR.

i really recommend parsing through other cartoons, comics, movies, and et cetera. and if not that, then at least check their wiki pages. Fandom is always your friend. sometimes, when i browse through fanfics on FFNet or AO3, i see things that i like (powers that a character has, for example, or situations that they land themselves into)—things that stick with me, which i note down for future reference. and when the time comes, i could use it for my own experiences.

≿❈≾

much love, and happy shifting ❤️❤️❤️

“You’ve never seen it?”

Bucky looked up at you, his eyes wide with apprehension while he gestured at the TV. “No, I haven’t…”

“You’re telling me, in all the years you’ve been up and kicking ass,” you started, staring Bucky down, pinning him to the couch cushions with disbelief, “that you have not stopped to watch the absolute masterpiece that is Love Actually?”

“Is it that hard to believe, baby?”

“Yes, it fucking is, Bucky, I am in shock.” You walked back to the kitchen when the microwave beeped, signalling that the popcorn was at last finished. “You’re equipped for CPR and mouth to mouth at least if the shock ends up killing me.”

“You know I am!” Bucky called from the lounge, and you smirked. Of course, he was. 

The moment the popcorn bowl was within reach, Bucky took it and stuffed his face with the popped kernels, caring little for the blanket in his lap as he did so. “You act like I never feed you.”

Bucky just winked and patted the cushion next to him, and you obliged. You cuddled up to his side and curled your legs up, and Bucky’s arm came to rest around your shoulders. “You ready?” 

“As I’ll ever be,” Bucky replied, an exaggerated expression of fear on his face. “Start ‘er up.”

You hit play, the beginning credits rolled until you saw the start of the first airport scene; an emotional embrace that set the tone for the whole movie, and the narration began. 

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that.” 

“Oh my God, it’s sappy as shit,” Bucky murmured, and you hit his chest in admonition. 

“It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.”

“And you love this stuff?” Bucky asked incredulously, and you nodded, snuggling into his side so the top of your head rested in the crook of his neck. 

The title card played and suddenly Billy Mack was singing into a microphone. You smirked; you knew Bucky would laugh at what was coming. 

“Oh, fuck wank bugger shitting arse head and hole!”

Bucky burst into laughter that shook your body as well as his own. “What the hell!”

More characters made their brief appearance until Colin, arguably (in your opinion) the most annoying character of the lot, bragged about his damn sandwiches. 

“Try my lovely nuts?”

“Oh my God,” you grumbled and Bucky chuckled. “I hate him so much, so cringey and such a try hard.”

“Truth be told-”

“Don’t you dare continue and tell me you like him, Buck, I swear.”

Bucky laughed, and you felt a sense of foreboding. He was going to say something stupid; you knew it. "I was actually going to ask if you wanted to try my lovely nuts."

“You absolute,” you slapped his shoulder, “disgusting,” you poked his ribs, “heathen, Bucky Barnes!”

“Hey!” Bucky fidgeted, glaring down at you playfully. “Stop touchin’ the goods.” As though that was the final point of that conversation, he shoved another mouthful of popcorn into his mouth when the wedding arc began. 

“Oh, she’s so beautiful,” you rushed, and Bucky shifted to look at you with a brow raised. “What?”

“Nothin’,” he mumbled and it was your turn to be suspicious. Bucky wasn’t meeting your eye, but you brushed it under the rug - that was a conversation for another day. 

The Prime Minister’s arc began next, and you were excited - it had to be one of your favourite arcs in this movie. Natalie was the most relatable given she had the trouble of censoring and guarding herself in front of her ‘one true love’. You laughed at that thought alone, because damn - it was too close to home. 

It was when the wedding scene changed to Jamie entering his apartment to check on his wife, that Bucky tensed under you. “They’re gonna do somethin’ aren’t they,” he asked, finishing on a groan when another man, Jamie’s brother, came on screen. The icing on the proverbial cake was hearing his partner yell from their bedroom. “You’re kiddin’ me, it’s fuckin’ Christmas!”

“It gets worse,” you mumbled.

“What?” Bucky said, and you shrugged, grabbing a handful of popcorn from the bowl in his lap. 

A few scenes later, Colin appeared on screen and as though on instinct, you groaned and rolled your eyes. 

“I am Colin. God of Sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all.”

“Is he for fuckin’ real?” Bucky laughed, gesturing at the screen. 

“Unfortunately.”

Jo’s funeral was the next arc, and after the humour of the scene with John and Judy, it was bleak. You knew the funeral part itself may be hard for him to stomach, so you reached for his hand and held it tightly until it was over, the song bleeding into the wedding party scene. 

Bucky was reaching for his drink and you had to fight hard against the urge to tell him to wait, especially when Sarah stood and brought her seat to sit next to Mark, who was filming the bride and groom while they danced slowly. 

“Do you love him?”

As expected, Bucky choked on his drink and coughed, struggling for breath and amongst the chaos of his poor lungs constricting, he could not stop laughing. You quickly sat up and hit between his shoulder blades until he managed to gulp a lungful of air. “Are you okay?” You asked, nestling back against his side once he had settled. 

“Yeah, yeah I’m alright,” Bucky answered, his voice strained. “That was just very fuckin’ unexpected. Talk about not beatin’ around the bush.”

Bucky chuckled all through Harry’s pep talk to Sarah, and suddenly looked to you, a realisation dawning on his handsome face. “Carol is your Harry.”

“Oh my God, you’re right,” you whined, burying your head in Bucky’s neck while he laughed. “Shuddup.”

Many more laughs and urges to be quiet were had as the movie progressed, and you couldn’t help but feel giddy at the thought that you were the one introducing Bucky to something new. Once so reserved, it was the other way around - Bucky showing you the ways of the world and all of the things that it offered besides being at your laptop working away. 

But now, you had one up on your King - the wonders of romantic comedies and the like. 

“There’s somethin’ goin’ on with those two,” Bucky gestured as Harry and Mia while they droned on about the Christmas party. “I’m sure of it.”

And with that thought, you braced yourself for the end of their arc, and what Bucky’s reaction would be. 

You watched as Sarah did her makeup at her desk as Karl finished up, and you felt Bucky tilt his head slightly, and as Karl approached her desk and said goodnight, Bucky tensed. “C’mon, say it, say it,” he whispered, and you smiled. 

“Night, Karl.”

“Oh, come on! Just fuckin’ tell him!” You laughed at Bucky’s frustration as Karl walked away, feelings unsaid and unrealised. “Please tell me that they end up together, this is fuckin’ painful,” Bucky pleaded. 

“I’m not saying anything.”

Bucky groaned and pouted, the sad swell of music sounding as Jamie opened the windows of his rustic home. 

“You know, um, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered… The SAS are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away,” David said, so nonchalantly that it made Bucky snort and choke on a kernel of popcorn again. 

“I think it’s best if I don’t eat or drink while watchin’ this damned chick flick,” he remarked, putting his glass down after a mouthful. 

“It’s good for you that I’m equipped to perform CPR and mouth to mouth then, huh?” 

Bucky lifted your chin and kissed you full on the lips, a coy smirk growing as he pulled away. “Just makin’ sure.”

The phone call between Mark and Juliet made Bucky’s head tilt again, and you ran your hand down his chest as you moved closer - only to make him squirm. “What’s up, baby?”

“He wants her,” he answered as Mark hung up the phone. “Couldn’t have made it more obvious.”

“Look at you,” you cooed, and Bucky looked at you, his gaze flicking between your eyes and lips. “Getting all invested in these love stories.”

“Yeah, don’t tell anyone, my reputation as a tough President is at stake,” Bucky deadpanned, his lips curling slightly as he spoke. 

“Your secret is safe with me, I promise.”

Aurelia’s arrival at Jamie’s home was a breath of fresh air, especially when Bucky piped up at Jamie’s actions. “He’s an idiot,” Jamie kicked the air as he spoke a jumbled mix of languages, “isn’t he?”

“That he is,” you agreed, thinking of how Jamie and Bucky had been similar in their attempts to show off - but you kept that little nugget of truth to yourself.

The American President’s arrival made Bucky cringe, his shoulder that you were resting on moving inward just slightly. “God, why are we always portrayed as arrogant assholes?”

You laughed and hiccuped in response, until both David and the President made their way to a conference, and Bucky made a noise of intrigue. They took their positions behind two podiums and answered the media’s questions, the American President consistently alluding to a good relationship, when David turned it on its head. 

“I would do that for you,” Bucky whispered, squeezing you against his side to place a kiss to your forehead. 

“Such a sap.”

Suddenly, with the appearance of Karen and Harry, Bucky jumped forward, pushing you off of his chest in his haste to point at the screen. “What the hell, Bucky?” 

“Harry is married?” Bucky sputtered, gesturing and pointing wildly at the screen. “He’s fuckin’ married and he’s off makin’ fuck me eyes at what’s-her-face!”

You couldn’t help it. You burst into laughter at Bucky’s expression of enraged indignation, of utmost betrayal. “Yep,” you managed between gasps for air. “It gets worse, just wait.”

“What do you mean, ‘gets worse’, babe!”

Your hand grabbed Bucky’s bicep and urged him back, that was until Pointer Sisters’ song, Jump, started to play with David standing at the window of his bedroom. 

“Oh, no, no,” you rushed, feeling Bucky pull forward, taking you with him. “No, Bucky!”

In an uncharacteristic move, Bucky relented, but he followed David’s dance moves as they played on the TV, coupled with him mouthing the words. 

“Oh my-”

Bucky interrupted you by flinging himself back on the couch, his hair mussed but a giant smile lighting up his face. “You’re doin’ that with me, next time.”

The lake scene came up and Bucky sighed in frustration. “He’s such an idiot.”

“He is,” you agreed, shifting closer to his side. “He really is.” Just like you were, you thought to yourself. 

The debacle of the wedding tape was next, and you heard Bucky exhale sharply once Juliet realised just why Mark had been avoiding her - the shock on Mark’s face was almost enough to cause you to well up. 

“It was her; it-” A sniffle interrupted his tirade and you looked up, shocked to find Bucky tearing up. 

“Oh, babe,” you rushed, hugging Bucky tightly when he sniffled again. “I promise it’s a happy ending.”

David’s arc appeared again, where he asked Annie if Natalie could be taken off of his staff, and Bucky lost his shit. “Why the fuck are they all so damn stupid?” He shifted slightly and stared at you; disbelief etched on his mournful features. “They can’t be that fuckin’ stupid, doll, please tell me they’re not-”

“They are, unfortunately,” you interrupted and Bucky slumped, sighing in defeat. “But like I said, there is a happy ending.”

“I hate you for making me watch this shit, you do realise that, right?”

You smiled, reaching up to run your hand through his hair to soothe him. “I do.”

Much too soon it seemed, Aurelia’s departure arrived and when she moved forward to finally kiss Jamie, Bucky was ecstatic. “Yes!” He cried, overjoyed and finally satisfied that one of them came to their senses. “Fuckin’ finally!”

“You’re really invested, huh?” You teased, but Bucky only grinned back.

“It’s your fault, sweetheart.”

Karl’s sudden appearance during the Christmas party was another cause for elation, and when Karl drove Sarah home to her apartment, Bucky was inconsolable. “About fuckin’ time!” He said, laughing at Sarah’s gleeful dance on the stairs. “They’re gonna fuck, aren’t they?”

“Classy, babe,” you chided and Bucky shrugged. “Just wait and see.”

Then, Sarah’s phone rang. 

“No, no,” Bucky groaned, “you are literally in a guy’s lap, you’re fuckin’ busy!”

It rang again. 

“No, don’t you-” Another loud groan interrupted his tirade as Sarah answered her phone again. “Goddammit, girl.”

It was like another blow to Bucky’s heart when Karen and Harry came on screen once again, and the topic of Mia was broached. “Oh my God, please tell me he didn’t…”

“Bucky,” you said shortly, lifting your head to look at him. “Just wait and see.” Bucky only pouted but resolutely looked to the screen again, his brows set in determination.

The entire scene of Harry shopping for the necklace made Bucky grumble and growl under his breath, and you had to hold your breath that this particular arc wouldn’t end in the way he had hoped - of Harry coming to his senses and not being a ‘sleazeball’. 

“He’s stalling on purpose, isn’t he?” Bucky asked, nodding towards the assistant. 

“Maybe,” you alluded, smirking to yourself.

“Oh, shit,” Bucky breathed as Karen appeared, repeating it again when Karen saw the necklace in Henry’s coat pocket when they arrived home. 

When Colin finally arrived in the States, Bucky rolled his eyes. “So fuckin’ stereotypical, this is ridiculous.”

“Settle, petal,” you whispered playfully. 

“Can’t afford pyjamas, my ass,” Bucky sputtered once the house in question came into view, and you laughed. 

It was Christmas Eve finally, and Karen picked a suspiciously small square present. Bucky’s breath hitched as she tore away the paper only to see a CD where there should have been the very box Karen found in Henry’s coat pocket. 

You swore you could feel Bucky’s heart break with the realisation, and your own heart ached. “Oh no,” you breathed, your voice wavering with the effort to keep it steady - no matter how many times you had seen it, it still hurt you beyond belief. Bucky squeezed you tighter and you sniffled as Karen wept in their bedroom. 

“Absolute bastard,” Bucky growled, “fuckin’ coward.” He looked down at you, your sniffles calming down to the odd shiver. “You alright, baby?”

“Yeah, yeah,” you said, fisting your hand in Bucky’s sweater. “I’m okay.”

When John and Judy appeared, it was a cause for a little bit of happiness amongst the sorrow - John’s jump down the small flight of stairs made the two of you chuckle. “That was you,” you pointed out, giggling as Bucky huffed and shook his head. “It really was, babe, it really was.”

The conclusion to Karl and Sarah’s storyline made Bucky pout, and you consoled him by gripping his hand in your own, bringing his scarred knuckles to your lips to place a soft kiss on each one. “It’s not all a fairy tale, baby,” you comforted, memorising the contemplative expression on his face. 

“But it’s a movie, a chick flick,” Bucky argued, “they’re meant to have happy endin’s.”

“Not always.”

Juliet appeared suddenly, possibly one of the better endings to an arc, and you smiled softly while Bucky made a noise of shock to see Mark holding a stereo and pieces of card. “What-”

You shushed him and watched as each card was shown, each one in passing made Mark’s face soften. 

“He didn’t get the girl,” Bucky whispered solemnly as Juliet ran after Mark, a controversial conclusion, but a conclusion nonetheless.

Billy’s conclusion was a shocking one, the realisation that he in fact was ‘as gay as a meatball’ made Bucky stare at the screen with wide eyes while you laughed at the look on his face. 

Then, the appearance of David made Bucky sit forward in his seat, his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. The Christmas card from Natalie the catalyst for David’s kick up the arse, as Bucky would put it. “Is he actually gonna do it?” He asked, his gaze shifting between you and David singing carols on screen. 

“Natalie!” Bucky cried as she appeared. “He’s actually doin’ it!” As Natalie spoke, trailing off with a ‘love’, you could have sworn Bucky would have shattered the windows with his loud shout of, “YES!”

He was literally like a child on Christmas, his undivided attention focused only on the TV. “Don’t you dare fuckin’ drive away now, you idiot,” Bucky ranted, watching as Natalie ran from the car as other characters appeared for the concert. 

At long last, the rendition of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’ began, and Bucky froze. “No,” he muttered, and you giggled. “Not again-”

“Shh!” 

“They’re gonna kiss!” Bucky shouted as David and Natalie gradually moved closer, and once the curtains parted, pandemonium reigned. “You have gotta be fuckin’ kiddin’ me!” Bucky grabbed a hold of your arm, shaking it in his excitement. “They finally- oh my God this is too much,” he slumped back against the couch cushions, his breath coming in fast. “Too much-”

“Easy, tiger,” you laughed. 

The appearance of Harry waiting for Karen made a chill fall over the room.

“Oh, no,” Bucky breathed, grabbing your hand. You gripped it tightly. 

“I am so in the wrong. A classic fool.”

“That’s a fuckin’ understatement,” Bucky yelled at the TV, “you bastard!”

You watched as Bucky teared up, and you followed suit. 

“Jamie,” Bucky said, pointing at the screen after he wiped his eyes. “What’s he- oh,” the chopping and changing of the scenes grew overwhelming. “There is so much goin’ on- WAIT! That’s the jewellery guy! What the hell is he-”

“Bucky, shh!”

The hush over the restaurant as Jamie walked through the door echoed in your living room, Bucky enraptured as Jamie’s spoke; a pledge of love. “Yes is being my answer,” Aurelia said, and Bucky cheered. 

The arrivals gate at the airport was next, the conclusion of all the storylines blending into one scene that made Bucky, honest to God, tear up, once more.

“Colin!” Bucky gasped. “That sonofabitch actually did it!”

“He did,” you giggled, a gleeful shout bursting free at the sight of David and Natalie embracing. “They all did.”

God only knows what I’d be without you, God only knows what, God only knows what I’d be without you.

[astaraels]

i was tagged by the lovely @callivich for some fandom asks, let's fuckin goooo

What’s a fic you’ve read more than once? Cold Feet by aeli_kindara; In a Haze of Smoke & Fire by IanRightsOnly; please don't say I'm going alone and broad-shouldered beasts by biblionerd07; Cooperative Gameplay and Bright by grayola; to think that we could stay the same by teatrolley; love, let your hands be tender by sadwhales; to stop our hearts from drowning by enbytim; Redheaded Stepchildren by ZebraWallpaper (there's a lot, I know)

What’s a gifset you always have to reblog? anything with 5x10 i'm a slut for love and violence interplay

What’s a headcanon you can’t stop thinking about? honestly when/if ian and mickey do eventually end up with a kid (it would happen completely by accident, of course) they're the biggest girl dads ever.

What’s a fanart you love looking at? this one is g o r g e o u s

What’s an idea you’d love to create if you had the time/inspiration? well, i'm currently working on a soulmates au fic that's canon-adjacent of seasons 1-5, so that's been fun! (featuring romantic and platonic soulmates because i refuse to write only the romantic kind :p) i'm also fond of writing character study fics when the mood strikes. i haven't been motivated to write fic and post it in nearly ten years, but i'm very happy that shameless and gallavich have helped me knock some of the rust off the old writing skills.

What’s an underrated trope or concept you’d like to see more of? SHOTGUNNING. where are all the shotgunning fics. also nurse!mickey (I read a fic with this once and it's a crying shame there's no emt!ian/nurse!mickey fic--at least none that i've ever seen...)

What’s your favourite season? And has this changed after multiple rewatches of the show? i've only watched the show through once but honestly s4/5 are my favorites, but i have a special place in my heart for s1 and s10.

What’s a plot hole you wish had been answered or resolved? I mean the fact that they managed to convict mickey of attempted murder and debbie of statutory rape is insane. (the age of consent is 17 in illinois! and it's literally sammi's word against mickey's AND debbie's! but it's fine, just fine, everything's fine...)

What line/dialogue/description from something else (a poem, a book, a tv show, a movie, or something else) do you feel describes Ian and Mickey’s relationship? these two are the most siken-coded ship since dean/cas. in particular: little beast, saying your names, you are jeff, and wishbone. I even named my gallavich playlist on spotify after a siken poem, and half the chapter titles in my long fic will end up being from his works as well....

What do you think is next for Ian and Mickey post-finale? i think things are gonna go okay for them! i think that they may make their way back to the south side, but in a house of their own not too far from the other gallaghers. i like the idea of them ending up with a little girl of their own but i can also see them just being cat dads and being the best uncles to ian's siblings' kids. i would love for them to reunite with svet and yev later down the road, as well. there's endless possibilities <3

15 questions

Tagged by the lovely @butmakeitgayblog cheers love ☺️

Were you named after anyone?

Nope! My mum just liked the meaning of my birth name and had an interest in name meanings. All my new names (yes I have several) have just been because I thought they sounded cool.

Do you have kids?

HA! No. And definitely never will. I’d be the worst dad 🥴

When was the last time you cried?

Yesterday lol, I started my first ever proper job and was shitting myself with anxiety. It went well though!

What sports have you played/do you play?

I was a dodgeball champion in primary school before I got chronically ill! Played a bit of football too (real football not that poundshop rugby Americans play 😒) and I do miss it a little but not much to be done about it I suppose. I had fun while it lasted!

Do you use sarcasm?

Nah I’ve been around over 2 decades and have never been sarcastic in my life

First thing you notice about people?

This sounds faggy as fuck but their smile 😅 Where I live people are so miserable that when someone has a lovely smile it’s so noticeable to me haha

Scary movies or happy endings?

Ooh cheeky question! I looove horror movies and they’ve been a huge special interest of mine since I was probably too young to be watching them 🤭 BUT I do love a happy ending IF it feels earned. So I guess it depends! But scary movies overall I think.

What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, playing instruments, video games, watching movies, just chatting with friends.

What is your eye colour?

Fuck knows genuinely, I had a friend whom after years of knowing me one day suddenly screamed OH MY GOD YOUR EYES ARE BLUE WHAT THE FUCK on a sunny day so. Call me Alycia Debnam Carey cos my eye colour changes with the weather apparently 🧿🧿

Any talents?

Ummm I mean I guess I technically class as a multi-instrumentalist but I don’t think I’m that great at any of them 😅 The one thing I know for certain I’m good at is writing but I hardly bloody do it 🥴

Where were you born?

I have dual citizenship because I was born outside the EU and that’s all I’ll say 😌

Do you have any pets?

I did have a lovely sweet kitty whom I had since I was little and she was a kitten, meaning we literally grew up together, but she sadly passed away in January and it’s hit me harder than anything else in my life 😞 I think I’m finally ready to accept another baby into my life though so we’ll see if that works out!

How tall are you?

Just under 5’7 when the weight of being a trans disabled queer man in the UK isn’t compressing my spine

Favourite subject in school?

Definitely Film Studies and Media Studies! I also loved French (still do!) and Religious Studies was the highlight of my day because my teacher was a fuckin legend. Miss that fella every day honestly

Dream job?

I want to be a published author that has a semi-decent fanbase. I don’t need to be on Neil Gaiman levels of fame, I just want more than like 20 people to read and enjoy my stories 😊

I’ll go ahead and tag @lexa-griffins @dysphoria-things @northern-punk-lad @sadiewayne @reallygroovyninja @dreamsaremywords and anyone else who’d like to do it! Just make sure you tag me 😘

so i would like to begin by saying that the last time ive seen your blog was like 3 whole fucking years ago or 4 or smth like that and you were one of my favourite fanfic writers when i was into the goddamned fucking magicians (yes big yikes i know) your haircutting fic with eliot and quentin post monster unironically still lives in my head rent free years later whenever i remember that the magicians existed at some point like that one fic changed my brain fucking chemistry at the time i read it i fucking swear

anyway anyway moving on with the explanation back then you were also into mdzs which i had NO idea what it was nor did i really care to find out cause i was deep as fuck in my hyperfixation and THEN a bit later after my magicians hyperfixation went down the drain it just so happened that a shitload of the people i was following or mutuals of mine got really into mdzs in that period of time (might have been popular during that period i dunno) so i looked into it a bit right and i saw that its complicated as fuck and theres books tv series manhua donghua movies and so many fucking things i was like hell fucking no god thats a lot

so ANYWAY FLASH FORWARD YEARS FUCKING LATER yesterday i was looking for something to watch right and guess fucking what unironically out of the goddamned motherfucking depths of my subconscious comes out "mdzs" now i didnt even fucking remember what that was at this point in time so i looked it up AGAIN found out about it AGAIN and then STARTED FUCKING WATCHING IT and NOW literally RIGHT NOW im on the last fucking episode of the first season of the donghua and out of absolutely nowhere it just hit me over the head that YOU PERSONALLY are literally the sole reason why i got into this fucking thing YEARS LATER you somehow got a stranger into a new hyperfixation YEARS after they had last even seen your blog

so anyway ive been literally tracking down your blog for thr past HOUR i tried searching for you on tumblr ao3 AND google and i was just gonna give up and then somehow i actually FOUND YOU and again i have no idea whether youll even see or read this but i literally just wanted you to know that you SOMEHOW gave someone from years into the future a fucking hyperfixation which is wild and very very funny and that i am personally fucking victimised by you because my heart cannot fucking take this shit like god fucking damn

anyway god this was long if you ever see this i hope youre doing alright i dont know whether youre still writing or nah but please know that i always highly enjoyed your works when i read them and i still hold the same opinion about how amazing your writing is even now years later and yeah hope youre fine and your life is good cheers take care of yourself

omgggggggg honestly congrats on the sleuthing and I'm honored you remember the haircut fic (fuckin' rip the magicians pour one tf out). Sorry to snipe you multiple years into the future with the MDZS bug but I hope you enjoy it!!

Sorry to bring more discourse to your blog, but it's about the whole "problematic" shipling thing, because it's a part of older RE plot, that absolutely does my head in. It doesn't fucking make sense. We can talk ALL day about how Leon is canonically responsible for genocides. It's canon that these things have happened because he never has the backbone to finish the job or manage his feelings like a grown adult. It's an interesting talk, but it's NEVER (or very barely) addressed that way in the actual material. His whole "turn the other cheek, because he needs a vague romance" trope is really just one massive fucking plot hole and I don't know why people aren't completely pissed about it. His messy narrative is one of my least favourite things in the series. It almost turns me off of his games and movies entirely. I enjoyed REmake, 7 and 8 the most because at least the characters add up. Their motivations are clear. It's a fully formed story and we know who does what and why. They just haven't fucking done that with Leon. They can't decide on whether to flesh him out properly or to keep throwing him early naughts b-movie tropes that arguably, just make him less likeable (to me).

Sorry for the rant. But holy shit. Anything about his character outside of "I'm angry, let's shoot" has been fucking terrible, in my eyes. They have no idea what to do with him. His choices constantly fucking contradict themselves. He's like a nonstop, unstable "what to doooo?" asshole and I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYONE ELSE ISN'T MAD ABOUT THE CONSTANT PLOT HOLES AND SENSELESS BULLSHIT THIS CHARACTER DOES I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE BECAME MORE POPULAR THAN CHRIS, CLAIRE, WESKER, HUNNIGAN, ETHAN AND JILL OTHER THAN "HE HAS COOL BANGS AND TELLS JOKES SOMETIMES" LIKE WHAT?

I know I'll get roasted and shredded for saying it, but jesus christ man, it's such an enormous pet peeve of mine. I just want the remakes to finish their job of understanding that Leon hasn't been written well and he's gotta be fixed. That Ashley actually has a whole load of potential and Ada has only ever been an empty, racist and sexist stereotype that can't be fixed unless they bother to actually write any sort of story for her other than "sexy Asian is mean sometimes, but her terrorism is okay because the emo boy kissed her this one time and has known her for a combined 15 hours."

Phew. I am mad. I'm sorry for exposing you to this. I've only gotten into RE like less than a year ago and the stupidity and lack of literacy and analysis in this fucking fanbase is crazy to me. If I see one more "sibling coded toxic age gap, Leon is flawless omg ashley little girl so silly" post I'm going to shave my head. Even my phone is glitching because it can't keep up with my seemingly very unpopular rager.

homie i'mma need u to fuckin breathe and understand that this is the same series where the only reason that the main villain ever had to hate the main protagonist was the fact that the main protagonist laughed at his science project -- and then that detail was retconned out of the remake, and now there's no reason for wesker to hate chris at all, actually.

this is the same series that killed off its main villain way too prematurely, realized immediately that they fucked up by doing it, and, instead of just retconning it and bringing him back, they tried to "oops! all weskers!" it, then didn't know what to do with that, then just decided to write it so that he had a son, but then nobody liked him, either, and now they're just going FUCK IT LET'S JUST REMAKE THE WHOLE THING.

this is the same series that is so unabashedly and unrepentantly racist that it sends its white american protagonist into the heart of africa, whereabouts he encounters a village with actual mud huts in it, where the townspeople are dressed in actual tribal clothing, and they chuck actual literal spears at him.

this is the same series where the creators openly admitted to not allowing their main female protagonist to visibly age because they thought it'd hurt their bottom line.

this is the same series where the objectively best title in it has a story that's so fucking bad that the dude who wrote and directed it said that he'd only support a remake of it if the remake fixed his shitty fucking story and actually told a good one.

this is the same series where rachel fucking foley exists and is meant to be taken seriously.

this is the same series where a dude fucking a spider is, questionably and arguably, canon.

leon is not remotely the worst part of resident evil's storytelling, nor is ada the most offensively racist part of it. THE ENTIRE NARRATIVE OF RESIDENT EVIL IS NONSENSE DOG GARBAGE. leon and ada are just par for the course.

if you are not a raccoon and/or opossum who enjoys gorging yourself on garbage, perhaps resident evil is not the series for you.

that's why they called it raccoon city in the first place.

because the playerbase must inevitably be filled with raccoons, because only raccoons would enjoy the sheer amount of garbage that the story throws at them.

[zerodaryls]

For the ask game! 16, 37 and 43

16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?

yeah usually like cussing out my toxic family members but then i didn't because i realized it was healthier and more effective to just cut them off entirely <3 i could have verbally destroyed my stepdad with a single sentence but i am actually better than he is so instead i just don't talk to him at all lmao

37. favourite actor/actress

idk if i have one, because usually my favorite actors are just whoever play the blorbos of whatever series i'm currently fixated on, so it varies from time to time. and even then i wouldn't say they're favorites because i just like their characters, not necessarily them as a person (side-eyes d*rk and dw*ght) lmao.

hmm, in honor of the origin of my url i'm gonna say Bill Pullman.

he's just so iconic and i'm always happy to see him on screen and he gives me a whole heckin' lot of gender envy lol i have literally taken photos of him to a salon and been like GIMME THE HAIR (he has had the same goddamn hair style his entire career, i dare you to find a photo of him where his hair isn't this same basic style lol like it varies in length but it's always the same cut and i LOVE it)

he's in like. so many of my favorite movies. Zero Effect (blog url inspo), While You Were Sleeping (fave romcom), Brain Dead (fave psychological/existential horror movie), Independence Day (...one of my fave sci-fi/alien movies), Spaceballs (...I wouldn't actually call this a favorite movie of mine tbh but like it's so fucking iconic I can't not mention it), AND there's this super cringe scene in Mr. Wrong (terrifying movie, it's billed as a comedy but it's legit a horror film to me lmao, do not recommend) where he sings Hold The Line by Toto (my favorite band) really badly and it's just. So iconic. almost ruined the song for me. almost. (no one can ruin Toto for me. 'tis not possible.)

43. favourite song ever

oh come on you can't do that to me, i can't pick a fave song ever, that's not a thing, i don't know how to do that :')

but as i mentioned Toto... it's gonna be one of theirs, lol. i can't even choose one goddammit i'll do a top three (stRUGGLING EVEN TO DO THAT... THE 'TISM CANNOT CHOOSE)

gonna put Rosanna first because it's the first song I remember rocking out to when i was like 3 years old in my car seat and telling my dad to turn up the car radio

next up Can't Stand It Any Longer because EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS PERFECTION, from Joe Williams' vocals to the melody to the beat to the ALL THE MUSIC TERMS I'M NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO COMMENT ON IN DETAIL hskjdfhkjsdhfdjksf

aaand as much as it pains me to only choose one more i'll go with one from the Isolation album so you can hear another vocalist (the amount of vocalists this band has had... and they're all so talented in their own ways and GAWWWWWWD I LOVE THIS FUCKIN BAND SO MUCH I'M GONNA SCREAM),, anyway here's Endless:

i could literally talk about Toto all day so i'm gonna have to cut myself off here before this becomes an infodump lmao

............actually i'm gonna put one last song because it came up in the recommended sidebar and Joe is fucking adorable in this video and gives me a lot of gender envy and YES THAT'S PAULA ABDUL DANCING,, WHY WASN'T THIS ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS I DON'T UNDERSTAND

....a..and... um... listen i hate listing 4 things because that doesn't feel rounded out so here's one more to make it a nice rounded 5,, featuring Steve Lukather as a BABY (okay he's like 21 but he looks like a baby) and because I can't list a bunch of Toto songs and not feature any from their 70s era:

i need those rainbow suspenders.

...okay sorry sorry i was entirely possessed by my autism for a minute there 😅 thus concludes the post. thanks for the asks and for opening up my big chaotic box of obsession lol.

#i am DETERMINED to make everyone who only knows 'Africa' get to know more Toto songs #because yes yes obviously Africa is a fuckin JAM and ya gotta love it #but they have SO many good songs it's almost impossible to even keep track of lmao #ALSO i'm so curious Chio... i hear Toto has/had a massive following in Italy so i wonder if that's still a thing??? lol

[crobones]

Stevie, you know what's coming, do you have fic recs for Daniel and Jack?

I'm always open to new ships and one as old as those two must have a lot of good ones written :)

YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE LOLOLOLOL I HAVE SHIPPED JACK/DANIEL FOR OVER A DECADE aight SO

this is my favourite jack/daniel fic yes it's smut but it just [chef's kiss] hits all the right buttons, ya know? paian in general is perhaps just my favourite author in the tag and a lot of their stuff is highly rated for a reason

the down side is some of the best fics are episode related! but it means that you'd know which episodes to watch lol. unless, have you seen any of SG1? because if you have, that will make this so much easier.

because like. in the show, there's angst, there's bickering, there's kidnapping and rescue missions, bodyswapping, torture, mind control, there's clones, sometimes you become a caveman, sometimes you get superpowers, sometimes you join a secret society and piss off your friends because you didn't tell them it was as a double agent, there's character deaths, there's resurrections, there's a big ol' "no homo" in episode 200 that everyone crops the frame to make it about the fucking ship anyway because FUCK IT.

paian's off-world "we're having sex but is it okay that i love you" fic

you ever see groundhog's day?

literally please watch the show if you haven't this one is based on a two-episode special where daniel gets kidnapped and tortured and jack - who has been promoted to a desk job and could very well make someone else do it - goes to save him

paian again but this time it's a sex party masquerade and jack gets possessive

here's an example of a fic that's not episode related but has a bit of angst, a bit of "aliens made them do it," a bit of the fact that jack is a military man during a time of "don't ask, don't tell," and has their dialogue and characterization to a T.

the thing is, most of my fic recs would just be at the top of the list if you sort it by kudos on ao3 anyway lol. because a lot of the fic writers came to ao3 from livejournal and dreamwidth anyway.

if you want, i can even make an episode rec list oh god you could watch the movie but you honestly don't have to. the budget of the show started on showtime, then went to Sci-Fi (now SyFy), and then got more budget and better CGI dude like. 10 seasons for the core show, 5 seasons of a spinoff that has some good cameos, and then there's one season of SG-Universe...

i will always say, between star trek and star wars, i choose stargate. every time. i fuckin... i watched it as a child, rewatched it as an adult, would rewatch it now if i had the time... (honestly i might just rewatch it again)

IF ASIDE FROM ALL OF THIS you want fic that includes both spoilers and a bunch of references that i would have to explain, i could do that to lol lmk

#cosmicallyhorrifying #jack x daniel #jack oneill #daniel jackson #daniel x jack #this ship existed before smushnames were a thing #no one shipname or portmanteau exists #i get so fucking nostalgic over these two don't get me started

[myhotel-year]

Tonight's Movie: Hostel (I and II)

I.

god there is so much misogyny, badly written female characters who just hate on each other, criminalization of drugs and alcohol, and playing into awful slavic stereotypes. The gore is barely worth it they should have died worse

II

they just added ableism and being mean to ugly people.

no joke you can't tell apart the strippers and the main characters cause they're all exactly the same in both look and temperament

fuck even the girls will call something gay

AND now there's GOLFING it officially has all my least favourite things

i'm starting to recognize different directors' style n stuff, mr Tarantula i am not a fan so far

to be real it's also 2007

and why do they keep getting ambushed by ethnically ambiguous children

i get that everyone in horror movies has to be a villain but GOD WOW

ren faire? with hypnotism????

deadass i could not figure out what the tattoo was of, i thought it was a lil ghostie

ok redeemed the fiddling is really good

reminds me of a Sebastian Stan movie i saw.. FRESH

diversity win! the ugly girl gets a fat guy!

and ugly guy gets his revenge! (he could have saved women from murder cannibalism but she hurt his feelings)

even bitchy girls understand u don't let a homie disappear w someone

how is "person knows ur name before you tell them" a horror trope and how do they always FIGURE IT OUT

if someone remembers my name i am ecstatic, sometimes i can't even remember if i told them already

did they get captured separately by different murderers?

diversity win? the strippers are as good at killing girls as they are guys

ooooo moments of comedy keep horror alive, they really do

why is pole dancing in movies barely anything but irl it's like, a sport level exercise

oh he's gonna bathe in her blood wow

honestly she's p small i don't think she'd have enough blood for a real bath

OOO THERE'S A WOMAN KILLER TOO

love how they keep using gay as a slur but also using negative lesbian stereotypes (mean, specifically to men, overtly sexual towards other women but also mean to them)

how do the fucking kids always get revenge, and why are they so mean???? what have they been through fuck

well. direct answer to. my question.

has stripper girl gone soft? she is helping the target??? or maybe not

love how good w names i am

ok this movie does give good backstory to the first one, and it does feel like a totally different perspective and kind of movie being told from a woman's pov, but also have you ever talked to a real woman

like you get the general shape of "woman" but you've never actually SEEN one in real life

like yeah the concept of human trafficking is scary to everyone, but liiike, you do know that's a real fear for many actual women,,,

it feels like a white man going "isn't slavery scary as a concept, wouldn't that be terrible lmao"

yeah it's normal for a bestie to do a makeover when i'm freshly traumatized and hurt

"we're the normal ones" *does cocaine*

for both movies i've checked how much longer at about an hour (30 mins left) cause i get fuckin bored

there's such a back and forth of are they actually a villain at the very end it's very interesting

nooo i'm not gonna kill you, i'm a good guy! I'm one of the nice ones!!

FUCK

lmao he can't even handle watching her die what a FUCKING CUNT

ha i knew the strong one would end up the wuss and the sad one would be the killer

good doggies

ANOTHER WOMAN IN CHARGE

it's true, the real incels are are the ones that call them incels

woah birthday almost twins, i'm 11/11 she's 12/12

lmao she's got him by the dick, LITERALLY

ok actually that's amazing

diversity win! a girl joins ur gang

I'M NOT KIDDING THE FIDDLING IS SO GOOD

i am even more confused

Mr. Tarantula u do know how to make a movie feel like it ended in the middle so you can make a sequel

the "or is it" of horror

guess i know tomorrow's movie

#tonight's movie #hostel #horror

[embers-archive]

ember hellooooooooooo have you ever watched any cartoon saloon movies? I feel like you'd greatly enjoy them :D

YES YES YES YES YES YES

I was obsessed with song of the sea in like 2018, I watched it through shitty clipped bootlegs on youtube and fell in love

And most recently I decided to go through all their movies and omggggggg wolfwalkers my beloved. They use sketch lines for nature and solid line for the towns folk im literally biting and knawing how fucking cool is that !!! Also mebh my beloved I love her design.

The Breadwinner was fucking heartbreaking, I remember when it ended I literally just sat there for like a solid 10 minutes just staring at the wall. Fuckin amazing

Also just... they're a modern animation company that does 2d animation!! And they do it so well !! Like I know I mentioned it earlier but the way the designate natural from man-made is so clever

...yeah I like cartoon saloon a normal amount

What's your favourite one I have to know

#asks #tbf i don't really know much about them as a company #but their movies are amazing

[shoceted]

have you ever made a ranking for each of the kamen rider seasons you've watched? which one is best for newbies, which one is your secret favourite, which one made you cry etc

i have made a ranking actually! i have a tier list that i very rarely share publicly because there's some spicy takes on there. but here's some thoughts on each season i've completed at this time because you gave me the excuse anon >:]

ryuki: i... really wish i liked ryuki more. i respect it immensely for what it did for the franchise and i think it's got themes, which is more than i can say of some seasons. but for the most part i ahhhhh... didn't love it? it's not my least favorite season i don't think but it isn't one that i'm going to revisit any time soon. i do love ren and shinji though; as a known sucker for a grumpy/sunshine primary/secondary red/blue pair they got me and they got me hard. i definitely am going to write some renshinji someday. and those last two episodes are some good fucking television. but overall ehhhh. i really do wish i liked it more though if only to fit in with everyone else :( (and it's not just the fact that it's heisei phase 1 that's the issue bc i'm loving decade and blade so far! and kiva also is there!). but yeah at this time my favorite ryuki is the one from japanese boy band mazzel stream carnival

double: DUB E X CRIME N THE CITY! i fucking loved w. it's just straight up damn good toku. and it literally took a single episode preview for terui ryu in all his stupid wet cat angstiness to captivate me forever. a single episode preview. like i will always remember finishing the 1st arc, seeing the episode preview for ryu's first episode right after, and being like "fuck" even though i intended to leave off there for the day and watched his first two episodes. DAMN U SECONDARY RIDER SYNDROME. i do think w would be a great place to start getting into rider tbh because it's just so good!!!!!!! i don't even have a lot to say about it but not in a bad way. it's just really really good. watch w. and make it soon. if you have not already. love is strong girls go on

ooo: so one thing you should understand is that i am literally watching ooo right now. like i'm sitting on my couch typing this and also watching episode 19 of kamen rider ooo. i legit watch through the entire second arc all the time. i think it's a very close second or third for my favorite season ever. eiji at the very least is tied for my favorite primary ever and that's saying a lot considering how much i love my other favorite primary ever. (which we'll get into.) ankh is just like me fr and i am going to eat his gender and HINA. BEST GIRL. 10/10. the very first ooo fic i started working on after watching this show (which i might fuck around and try to finish at some point even) is from her pov!!!!!! because i love her. AND DATE AKIRA IS THE MAN EVER (AND THE LEAST REPRESSED SECONDARY CONGRATION YOU DONE IT). the story the comedy the action the epic highs and lows of a hippie and his underwear and of a bird and his ice pops and of a girl and her brother and GAHHHHH. i love this show so so so much. i would absolutely start with ooo if i could go back in time. and i did not secretly cry, i cried a lot. openly. i want to make my boss watch it. i love ooo. i've been trying to design a hawktigergrasshopper shirt for months. i am literally watching kamen rider ooo right now and i will until i go to bed. you count the medals one two and three life goes on anything goes coming up ooo [i start crying]

fourze: my first exposure to kisaragi gentaro was when i watched heisei generations final for the first time, where i promptly freaked the fuck out because holy shit it's fuckin fukushi sota jesus christ jesse eisenberg moment. i actually watched one fourze movie (the winter one, bc i'm a h!p fan and manoeri is there. nadeshiko my beloved) long before i'd seen the series and forgot this. anyway i watched fourze in... like february-march i think? and i ADORED IT. kengo/gentaro is a top tier rider ship and i also have a wip of them that someday i will finish. the kamen rider club is SO GOOD (tomoko and jk are both just like me fr and miu!!! aka tomoyo sepakoi!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm the only person who liked that show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and meteor's suit is so pretty and fuck man the power of fucking friendship. i cried at fourze too. it took me like two hours to watch the two-parter where gentaro gets his final form. i love this show man. it makes me look up at the moon and think about happy things. my space kids. FOURZE YEAH!

wizard: so unfortunately i have the popular opinion that wizard is really long and poorly paced, especially towards the end. but that's straight up my only criticism of it. like that's it. i put wizard in the "free therapy" tier of my list initially but then moved it to "free therapy but you're a little bit high." haruto is a fucking excellent primary rider who i adore he's so my type i hate it here and like it makes me want to rewatch good morning call bc shiraishi shunya pretty and nitou... is definitely the character ever. to quote my own joke it's like one of the writers watched indiana jones on shrooms and had the idea to create the secondary of all time. (it's been like 10 years since the end of wizard do u think he's figured out that he's into haruto yet.) and RINKO MY GOD and koyomi... koyomi/haruto is proof het rider ships can also dissolve your bones... but most importantly. NARA SHUNPEI. HE IS JUST LIKE ME FR. lowkey highkey kinning him from his very first episode. i love that man. he just wants 2 be useful and you know what me too. but yeah so WAY too long but definitely good idc what anyone says; i ain't gonna hate a show that has the same moral as no pressure by novel core.

gaim: HEY SO DON'T START WITH GAIM. DON'T DO IT. DO NOT START WITH KAMEN RIDER GAIM. I AM SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE. GET LIKE A FEW MORE SEASONS UNDER YOUR BELT AND THEN WATCH GAIM. i am speaking from experience. okay. now i feel like gaim has a negative reputation nowadays. BUT. despite popular belief gaim is not peak sexism in kamen rider (like dude... kiva. what the fuck.) so that is that myth busted; also the ending is so beautiful and tragic but overall good if you dedicate some thought to it! and the characters are fucking wonderful! like in any other show i wouldn't care about zack and he's like in the eternally rotating top 3 gaim characters for me. i fucking adore kamen rider gaim. it's about growing up and it's about fighting against your oppressors and it's about pokemon go and dance crews, what could possibly go wrong. like as much as i hate micchy (which is a lot bc he reminds me of my toxic ex rip <3) i can't deny that he's an incredibly well-written character. kouta is an excellent primary and his journey throughout the series breaks your heart, but isn't that what growing up does? takatora is such a well-executed character that it's fun to watch other people react to how the show makes your opinion on him change. and god, kumon kaito has been giving me brain worms since 2015-2018. crimson lotus of misfortune, tragic banana boy, would-be tyrant, gay ass. no matter what anyone says, he's a great character. bananaorange is one of my favorite rider ships ever; it's either tied for first or a close second depending on the moment. and MAI. mai!!!! ray of light. if she was a tarot card she'd be the star. i love that girl. but DON'T START HERE JUST LIVE MORE

drive: so my plan for this year is all of heisei phase 2 + decade and i watched drive pretty early because i knew i would have complicated feelings on it, because i'm black and i'm never comfortable with positive portrayals of cops in fiction. and i was... kind of right. like there are things i loved about drive (heart. namely. fucking adore heart. had me from the moment he said "that roidmude might have been a monster to you but to me he was my friend." i love love love heart so much. he was my lockscreen for MONTHS this year.). i think that everything after episode 40 or so is great. and i relate to gou as much as i relate to shunpei, except in the opposite direction, so him suffering and breaking down and dying of flowers and stuff is really easy, and also fun. and CHASE. he is the fictional character that i think of when i read the word babygirl. but it's also... like... a show where cops are out to kill an entire species... and that makes me uncomfortable. and i abhor that fucking belt. like spoilers but you see a man getting tortured and you just LEAVE???????? THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND ALSO WHY DO YOU NEVER TELL KIRIKO ANYTHING. AND ALSO, SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVE. seriously drive would have been p e a k if they weren't cops and kiriko was drive. i also wish heart and shin had more homoerotic tension with each other cause idk i would have liked to see it? anyway. drive. fwiw i think the way it ends is way worse than the way gaim ends, so :) spicy take for the day i suppose. so relationship status it's complicated. also i think shin is boring .

ghost: MY FRIENDS BORN IN THE SAME ERA AS ME WE THINK THEREFORE WE ARE!!!!! I LOVED GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like seriously if wizard is no pressure ghost is jenga and to complete the trio of novel core therapy songs ooo is thanks all my tears and i'm always a sucker for media where the moral is that life is short and sometimes painful, but it's beautiful, and it's yours, and that's why you should see it through to the end. ghost genuinely makes me want to keep living. I LOVED GHOST. the pacing problems aren't a problem at all if you're not watching week to week i swear. takeruuuuuu my sweet baby my son who i raised myself. also nishime shun is super cute and only like a year older than me,,, i'm fine takeru is such a good boy and if you hate him you will die and go to hell. makoala my boys. they sure are gay aren't they. anyway i'm always a slut for older brothers so i love makoto and if alan was red instead of green i would want to eat his gender. and kanon is so precious but AKARI GOD DAMN IT I LOVE HER SO MUCH. PRETTY SCIENCE LADY IS ALWAYS MY TYPE. but i cannot pursue her because takeru/akari is one of my favorite rider ships ever and fuck you toei they're so fucking married by now. they have to be!!!!!! i refuse to live in a world where they're not! so they're married. thank you. they're also criminally underrated and i think i'm gonna publish my first het rider fic about them because they are so fuckign cute. goodnight. ghost is great. episode 6, my god, one of my favorites in all of rider. AND THE BELT NOISES. COCAINE IN THEM.

ex-aid: so my best friend in the whole world jack (hiiiiiii jack if you read this i love you) had been telling me to watch ex-aid for about two years before i watched it and now i know why: ex-aid has a disease in it and i don't just mean the bugster virus. ex-aid gives you a disease called ex-aid disease where you can't stop thinking about ex-aid. it infects you from the moment you watch it for the first time. symptoms include telling other people to watch ex-aid. watch ex-aid. i listen to excite at least once a day from monday to thursday on my way to work. i have one (1) gashat (tokimeki crisis for my wife who i am married to and is my wife, poppy pipopapo) and it is one of my greatest treasures. i. love. ex-aid. I LOVE EX-AID. kagami fucking hiiro god damn it, i should've known that the scene in sepakoi where kaneda cries would've had a lasting impact on my psyche because wow that boy can cry and be repressed about shit LIKE HIS GIANT CRUSH ON EMU WHICH HE SO HAS, MR. BL ASS SETO TOSHIKI GLOOMY GAY SADBOI. cough. i truly love all the characters though. it's just that kagami hiiro permanently altered my brain chemistry. the adhd lets me write gou and the autism lets me write hiiro. he's like my fucking muse. just god ex-aid is great the belt noises are great the suits are great the villains are great the soundtrack is great my wife is there (poppy) taddle legacy is my favorite final form ever and god it's such a beautiful fucking show. i miss takahashi shit like this because it's genuinely hard to believe geats was written by the same guy. i adore ex-aid. now would i start with ex-aid. no. do i know people who started with ex-aid. yes. but maybe once you've got a little early heisei phase 2 under your belt dive into the god damn gamer doctors. i'm on a mission right now. EX-AID. STREAM PEOPLE GAME

build: so build was my second season of rider, which i watched in late 2020-early 2021... aka when cherry magic was airing. i fucking loved cherry magic and i'll always be grateful for it because lmfttf was a really important fic in my personal fic writing history. but this is not about magic virgins this is about build which... really is another ryuki to me, but it's above ryuki for now because it really is enjoyable and akaso eiji is there and everything, but i don't feel very passionately about it. now when i first watched it i was ~*depressed*~ so that might be part of it, but it didn't have the power to bring me out of that depression that the season i'm going to talk about next does. it just was something i watched and then had watched. be the one's a great song though and the story is really good objectively. i'm also... about to commit sacrilege but it's fine here goes i'm not really into best match as a pairing??????? it doesn't feel as organic as some other rider ships and that sours me on it. while meanwhile you have shit like renshinji where it was 2002 or whatever and that changes my brain chemistry because oh! you genuinely were supposed to read this as friendship! while best match is like. explicitly bait for fujos. like advertised about being about heated drama between men, as opposed to naturally produced heated drama between men. but i did like it and i even have one of the best match rings (with the other with jack). no complaints about the story. but it's not something i'm super into. but they say it's a good place to start for a reason.

revice: so tl;dr at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 i was super depressed for a whole bunch of reasons. and then one summer day i found out that japanese pop singer and member of girl group beyooooonds maeda kokoro's older brother was the guy who was gonna star in the next season of kamen rider. so i decided to give it a shot. i genuinely just decided to give it a shot because of that. and it saved my fucking life. at first it was just that it was miles away from the aforementioned bunch of reasons i was depressed, something to look forward to every week that just didn't have anything to do with it. i'm a sucker for any tokusatsu show that's family-themed, so 8-10 did insane things to my brain chemistry. but really it had me from episode one. because ikki. igarashi fucking ikki my beloved. a fictional character has genuinely never gripped me like this. i literally buy merch of him every time i get paid. he is so special to me because his story was exactly what i needed to hear, and also because he's the prettiest guy on earth, my god. he's so my type that it's like he was created in a lab. i love igarashi ikki so much that actually we're married. like yeah does revice has problems? is the theme song not good? does the behind the scenes stuff & presence of kimura subaru (and again i'm black) make me uncomfortable? YES!!! BUT I ALSO LOVE THIS SHOW! it is a reason that i am alive and typing this right now! kamen rider revice is extremely special to me and my favorite season of rider ever. i don't know what could ever take its place. i love it so much. i collect vistamps of past seasons i've watched (eagle and jackal are next and i already have kamakiri and kong). the music aside from livedevil is fucking wonderful, the spinoffs are wonderful, heated drama between WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BETWEEN WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a show that means so much to me and is so close to my heart. i love it so much and it's unmatched and it probably always will be. i'm so glad i watched it. thank you, past me.

12,13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21,27 for Kira, Kane, Kyleigh & Arnold (yes Im intreuppting this guys work again he can suck it up or stay mad :P ) & 11 for Kira & Kyleigh sorry for the long ask hehe :D

Wow big ask, thanks hun really enjoyed doing this.

What’s their ideal vacation like?

Kira: right now, Sulani without doubt. I need somewhere warm and relaxing. Sulani is literally it, in a word. One of my new friends was there recently I think doing some calendar photoshoot thing. And Francine's mom moved there to be with some island dude she met like 20 years ago or whatevs.

Kane: I think my ideal vacation is just somewhere with house full of babes.

Kyleigh: My travel options are limited, due to my uh... skin condition and dietary requirements. But basically, going somewhere where the Order of the Sun are not would be fantastic.

Arnold: What?! More of these fuckin' questions? *big sigh* oh fuck me... right, fuck... Vacation. Whatever, I'm a billionaire's son I can go wherever the fuck I like, luxury yacht, luxury jet. It don't matter. Fact is my ideal vacation changes and I can choose whatever I want.

What is/was/will be their college major?

Kira: I didn't get to go to college, on account of a shit childhood *looks at Kyleigh*. I would have liked to go. But now I got to help this dickhead with his club. *thumbs to Kane*

Kane: College is for nerds and jocks. Fuck that.

Arnold: I agree with Kane, fuck that. Besides, I don't like teachers, and I especially don't like it when people give me deadlines or try telling me what to do...

Kyleigh: Well, I didn't go to college but Lyra did, so I guess technically I did too, and I, that is, she, got a degree in Literature.

What’s their favorite book genre, if they enjoy reading at all?

Kira: I don't really do reading. Unless its in the drinks recipe book. I love drinking. Sobriety is overrated

Kane: I wait for the movie or the TV show.

Arnold: Reading is a pursuit for those with no life and no resources either, so they can pretend to be somewhere else or somebody else to escape their drab dreary dull little lives... its quite pathetic really.

Kyleigh: I like some of the classics from days gone by, Id say Jules Verne is my favourite. Bram Stoker's dracula is great, and has a special little meaning for me. Also the book Jaws is good too, the film is good too but the book is great also.

What’s the most ridiculous thing they’ve ever spent money on?

Kira: Um... probably that fuckin' pressure cooker. I used it like two times and now its just there gathering dust in the apartment.

Kane: A strip club? Does that count?

Arnold: I spend so much money I don't bother to itemize ever little bit. Because, you know, I'm not poor.

Kyleigh: Right now I'd say getting all these tattoos plastered all over me was the most ridiculous thing I've spent money on.

What’s their dream job?

Kira: My dream job, well I wanted to be a doctor of all things. But I doubt I could cut it. I drink, I smoke, I don't like reading, and I'm a bit impatient, all bad things when one wants to be a doctor.

Kane: I am literally living my dream job, right now.

Arnold: I don't work, I pay others. Fuckin' moron!

Kyleigh: I've never had one of my own. Lyra always wanted to be an archaeologist though... I can't say I would want that.

Who’s their go-to person for advice?

Kira: Karlie. No question. Sometimes, Francine, but mostly Karlie. Francine is too... uh, she's not like us.

Kane: I shall quote my cousin Guy for this one: "I talk to myself. Even I need expert advice occasionally."

Arnold: My father, he's the big boss, he knows the fuckin' score. I talk to him.

Kyleigh: I used to go to Lyra but uh... yeah, kind of made a mess of that. I still have Imani. I need to get her round soon for a catchup.

What’s one secret of theirs that could potentially ruin a relationship they have?

Kira: Erm... I ain't got any secrets. Open book me.

Kane: My lover she is the "smiley killer" so if that got out... I think It'd ruin a lot of things including a relationship.

Arnold: Well, I'm also fucking this other girl called Molly as well as Francine so there's that. Tell anybody about it, and you're fuckin' toast. You get me?

Kyleigh: I had a secret, and I revealed it, and I ruined my relationship with Lyra... So... yeah...

What’s their favorite genre of music?

Kane & Kira: Rock!

Arnold: Fuckin heavy metal man!

Kyleigh: Classical, I play the organ did you know. I love my own musics.

Who’s the most important person in their life?

Kyleigh: Elita is. She's the Chosen One and she's going to do wonderful good things, I know it. She needs me more than anybody.

Kira: Yeah, don't we know that. Elita can do no fucking wrong. Your other kids needed you too mom, but hey, as long as Elita is ok that's all that matters right? So the most important person in my life is my friend Karlie, and followed up by my new friend Adria. They're my bitches and we ride and die together.

toughts on the new horror anthology marvel announced? also toughts on elektra and horror themes in general?

i’m a horror gal thru n thru so remember that you asked for this

marvel have rly good fodder for horror comics but they just never fuckin use it. when dc was doing dceased i talked about all the different subgenres marvel could be doing in the halloween season!!!! and i will do it again!!

daredevil would be perfect for found footage kind of horror like. hell’s kitchen residents piecing together their own footage of matt vs whatever cloverfield type of shite is going on

identity horror w spiderman and his clones

historical horror w elektra in like. ancient japan w the hand. or just straight up demon shit in modern day.

tech horror in wakanda

cosmic horror w the guardians considering they spend half their time in the skull of a celestial. or they used to. idk what mcu lite guardians are doing nowadays.

high school drama turned horror w the xmen……. prom or whatever and then celebratory vacation to this fucked up island that’s kind of alive but jean also has to choose between her 15 suitors at the same time as dealing w mr sinister’s fucked up cabin in the woods experiment!!!!!

classic monster horror w elsa bloodstone

more daredevil because your girl plays favourites, zombie horror w all his dead friends and girlfriends.

revenge horror with elektra after her dad dies. or after matt dies. kill him for some extra flavour

psychological horror w moon knight if they PROMISE not to be weird about mental health. OR something a la the descent. where he goes somewhere to find something out about the bird god living in his brain and it gets a little fucked up

some more xmen w survival horror in the savage land. a sentinel type thing but more like mr predator from predator hunts them all down

slasher horror w the various wolverines. laura n akihiro have to deal w their father in one of his stab stab beserker episodes

genre savvy horror w the runaways and young avengers

purge type shit w the punisher. i’m sure he will bring up his dead family

cultist lovecraftian horror w wanda. dr strange, voodoo, dr doom etc can come too. NOT like budget horror Welcome 2 My Twizted Mind wendy in the mcu.

home invasion horror w the xmen or in avengers manor/tower wherever those bitches are living right now but when only the avengers i like are home

blade just. literally doing his normal shit

i could genuinely go on for days. the potential is right there but all marvel ever does is like. oooh everyone’s a zombie and the genre has no connection to the characters that are it it or waaaa x character kills the marvel universe waaaa. it’s BORING. this is a company run by boring bitches. elektra is RIGHT THERE and every year i say please may i have a halloween variant at the very least, company that i have never said anything mean about. and every year they say NO shut the fuck up to me PERSONALLY!!! they mail that shit to my house in a big fuck you red envelope. and at this point i would rather they didn’t bother if they’re not gonna at least TRY. horror one shots are just one of the things dc just does Better

as for elektra and horror, i’ve made my stance on the potential relationship there pretty clear. like. she could do it all. she could be the final girl, she could be the dies first and comes back slightly fucked up in the sequel, she could be the villain, she could be pre death, she could be post death etc etc. there are SO MANY THINGS abt her that fit such a wide scope of horror tropes. one of my favourite movies ever is all the boys love mandy lane and she could DO THAT!!!! the innocent in the beginning, victim of circumstance (college, pre death, young adult elektra) to actually no fuck all of you, refuses to be manipulated by the people, mostly men, around her, turns out to be the killer. the audition is another. let her torture the shit out of stick or bullseye when they think they can use her. she already has so many aspects of horror stories in her own, she’s been covered in blood so many times and for what!!!!!! we’re not doing anything with it!!! she’s a KILLERRRR and in a horror au, everyone can die!!! it’s prime territory!!

and women in horror is such a fuckin goldmine too. like especially women who have been through shit and to see what happens when they’re forced into certain situations. as well as women who HAVENT been through shit and just wanna go apeshit one time. there’s a reason why so much horror focuses on women and that’s because they’re usually made by men who want to see some women suffer but that’s changed so much since and like yeah. there are a still a good few that are like ok we get it you want to see a woman get tortured. but there’s so much more substance to it. or there could be???? it’s a women’s power fantasy like iron man is a men’s power fantasy and i will not be elaborating. brad from ohio wants to be rich and for girls to like him. i want to kill people with an axe in a life or death situation. we are not the same.

tl;dr. it’s the genre she deserves after being a character that’s revolved around the men in her life since the dawn of time, and after the man who created her is one of the slimiest motherfuckers ever to leave his primordial soup. she could ENCOMPASS the genre for marvel but no one listens to me

#anyway. i’m completely normal about it #q & a #anonymous

fear street appreciation week: day 5!

Day 5 (June 30): Music or Lyrics

today I'm tackling a different prompt for the day in a different way, and examining two of my favourite songs from the trilogy and their lyrics, and how they offer a pretty neat form of foreshadowing for schrodinger's antagonist, nick goode.

settle in, this is gonna be a little longer than my recent stuff.

let's first hit it with Carry On, Wayward Son.

first off, unrelated but props to fear street for rewiring several people's association with this song, and removing supernatural from that equation (nothing against supernatural except for the declining quality since season 5 and a writer's room that can't let two men peacefully be in love on a show about literal supernatural beings).

now onto the main point.

Carry on, my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more

nick is obviously shocked over the reality of his choices, as we see in the movie when he throws up in the bushes. he is very much a wayward son - not only sheriff goode, but also satan's wayward son.

he doesn't really want to carry on the legacy, but he is the eldest and reminded since he was old enough to understand that he has a duty to his family and to the goode line. that and the fact that it comes with guaranteed prosperity for them. he'll certainly be at peace after all this is over (or at the very least, with access to therapy).

Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high

Well, his plan was a rip-roaring success with just a hiccup - he did not factor in Ziggy Berman getting in the path of harm's way, and honestly that's on this fuckin idiot.

Though my eyes could see, I still was a blind man Though my mind could think, I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say

Satan has definitely warped his moral compass, if not completely annihilated it and installed a new one by now. He's still a kid and still retains some of his humanity, and this is his first sacrifice - a little too premature in the scheme of things since Joseph Goode got called to the devil's front porch before time - so he's certainly not as ready as they would have wanted him to be. We've seen that Satan's voice calls to the doomed chosen killer, so who's to say a little hand holding in the form of mental pointers wasn't happening with Nick?

Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season

ohhohoho, this is my favourite and also definitely the most obvious of the foreshadowing. here is nick goode, masquerading as the level headed, calm and stoic counselor who rose up to the occasion in this horrific time, not knowing that this whole hell is of his making. nuff said.

On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean

well, ziggy berman isn't making it easy for him, is she?

Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you

I mean, he did get the favoured status of devil's #1 employee for several years, but sir,,, you didn't get that happily ever after you planned with ziggy, did you?

(narrator: heaven did not wait for him.)

and now we me move on to the next one, also from 1978 - david bowie's "the man who saved the world".

you can't bring a person who died due to multiple stab wounds back from the dead with just a touch of CPR.

nicholas goode made a deal with the devil to bring back who he coveted and loved most. in that moment, ziggy was face to face with the man who sold the world.

I must have died alone A long, long time ago

well, a big part of his humanity certainly died when he sealed that deal with the devil, and a decent chunk more must have been taken to bring ziggy back. in the way that matter, nick died to ziggy a long time ago.

Oh no, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world

nick would like to believe he didn't lose control. he brought ziggy back, so of course he still has control of the situation, at least in his mind. and the world is a small price to pay for his universe, isn't it?
