Some random modern HotD headcanons :)

Hey y’all! So I kept thinking of some funny, and very specific headcanons for the HotD characters, so I decided to just make it a whole post. This will actually be my first “legit” post on here, lol! Anyways, this will include some headcanons about Aemond, Aegon II, Luke, Jace, Daemon, Rhaenyra, Helaena, etc. But hope y’all enjoy lol! :)

Ok, I am convinced that Aemond has a secret stash of tea hidden somewhere. He's even put them all in a very nice ornate, antique box. It's his guilty pleasure. He probably would have some Earl Gray, English Breakfast, maybe even some lavender mint for the evenings. He'd keep it secret because all the teas he's gotten are way too expensive, and special.

Luke is an avid Minecraft gamer. Like he's basically built Dragonstone, and the Red Keep in his server. He'll play sometimes with Jace, or maybe even Aegon. But he doesn't let them into that world. Aegon would probably blow it all up with TnT.

Speaking of gaming, I think some people are on the same page that Aegon would be some kind of gamer. He'd be up to date on all the new systems and gadgets. He'd be one of the firsts to have the PS5 when it came out. He probably plays a lot of Call of Duty. Maybe even some Valorant when he doesn't wanna fire up the PS. He'd definitely be cursing and yelling at the game, to the point where Alicent threatens to take it away.

While Rhaenyra watches her shows, House Wives, Rupaul's Drag Race, etc. Daemon pretends to be not interested, but really he's super invested. He'd be leaning against the couch, or the wall totally sucked in. And when Rhaenyra tells him to just sit down and watch with her, he's all like, "no no I don't even like this show". But then he'd say things like, "Well maybe if her gown was better made she wouldn't have been eliminated last episode".

Aegon gives me frat boy energy. And I know I'm not the first to say that lol. You already know he's planning all the parties, and picking the themes. I like to think he'd be very invested into picking the themes. They would be things like, dragon night, wear your fave dragon scale colors. Or something like, Dragonstone beach night, wear your swim suits and flip flops.

Alicent likes to knit. Or maybe crochet? It's her stress reliever activity after dealing with Aegon, and the rest of the boys. Helaena is always giving her new patterns or designs to try.

I think Alicent also likes to take the occasional Buzzfeed quiz. "If you were a cake flavor, here's what you'd be based on your star sign".

Helaena runs a very successful tik tok account. She'd post her outfits, and maybe some art or cool bugs she's found.

Aegon listens to a lot of Megan Thee Stallion and Kim Petras. He's blasting Kim Petras' Treat me like a Slut at least 5 times a day. He gets ready to it in the morning.

Aemond will get down to some Amy Winehouse.

Jace works at the local animal shelter as his summer job. He only got the job cause Rhaenyra said he needed to get out of the house. Plus Helaena also works there, so she helped him get hired.

Aemond would be a great bartender. Not with like actually interacting with customers, but he can make some great drinks. Like he's over here coming up with all these crazy cocktails. Although, like his tea obsession he keeps this on the low. He doesn't want Aegon asking him to make drinks all the time. Gods forbid he asks Aemond to bartend at one of the frat parties.

Helaena was a Monster High girl growing up.

Aemond has a motorcycle. It was his one rebellious purchase. Alicent hates it.

Luke can kick Aegon's ass in any game, video or otherwise. You name it, Call of Duty, UNO, Valorent, Go fish...

Rhaenyra has a bit of a sweet tooth, but she has to hide her candy stash, cause the boys will steal it in a heartbeat. Who would have thought Daemon would love lemon drops so much.

I really could go on forever, these are just too fun to write. But I'll leave it here for now lol.

Hi ! I came back. Thank you for answering the ask about where to start. OK I just joined Tumblr like last year, and I was looking for a good fandom to join so this is perfect. I'm going to watch from season one on Netflix. I already like Rick Grimes so getting to know him before he met michonne should be fun. And thanks for explaining the Jessie thing I'm almost annoyed FOR Rick and Andrew. So that just be funny to get to, knowing what it looks like now. He always loved mixhonne? That’s what I'm getting from the spoilers and discourse. These too are so epic I live.

Of course, it's my pleasure! I could talk about Richonne and TWD forever! Rick is an AMAZING character. He's definitely one of my faves ever, I think you'll just love him more and more.

The Walking Dead fandom in general has its problems, but the Richonne fandom specifically is awesome!

Jessie was like a thorn on everybody's sides, but she's gone before you know it.

Us Richonners believe that yes, he always loved her. He might not have understood or accepted what he was feeling completely up until a certain point, and he definitely didn't know what to do about it, because he was heavily traumatized, he goes through A LOT as you'll find out for yourself, but our interpretation is that he always loved her. And the writing backs that up. Scott Gimple, one of the show's creators/writers and the creator of The Ones Who Live along with Andy and Danai has ALWAYS been a Richonne shipper. So any episode that had his hand in it is usually Richonne heavy.

And he has said that he intended Michonne as a love interest for Rick literally from the second they see each other.

#richonne #one couple to rule them all #rick grimes #michonne #michonne grimes #the walking dead #the ones who live #the walking dead the ones who live #twd #towl #twd towl #andrew lincoln #danai gurira #scott gimple

Hello! Idk if you’ve done this already but personally, what’s your ranking on your fave Luke cards based on the side story of these cards or something else? Kinda curious to see what our resident Luke enthusiast thinks hehe

ohhh, i havent actually!! and thank u so much for this ask cuz YESS, I DO HAVE A RANKING FOR THISSSS :DDD so let's get down to business

my personal top 5 favorite luke cards (with rambling rationale ofc, by this point it's a standard in my posts kjbfajsfkf)

wc: 1.6k

before i start, i'd like to note that this list is only taking into consideration cards that are available on the global server as of april 28, 2022 buuuuut already including Secrets of the Tomb event that only releases tomorrow cuz kjbkHBH IVE ALREADY SEEN LUKE’S CARD STORY THERE AND IT’S GOT A PLACE ON THIS LIST CUZ I RLLY LOVE IT!! this list also only ranks cards with stories because thats what im basing my rank on, so that disqualifies all the SR cards that are only audio messages and the MR card as well

with that outta the way, let's go from 5th most fave one by one to my most favorite of all cards thus far!!

5th place: SSR Alluring Gaze

this was among the first luke cards i ever watched and i was reeling from the sheer angst in luke's personal story 1 and 2. please, i said to this card. please be a lighthearted yet entertaining chaser for my angst drowned heart.

"you are safe now, my child," said SSR Alluring Gaze.

"thank you for my life," i replied

cuz this card is one of the VERY FEW LUKE STORY CARDS that does not have an HINT of sadness or angst. NOT A DROP!!! no sudden pain episode, no vague reference to "im dying soon and i hate myself for that", NADA!! im not saying that i dont like angst (if that was true, i'd have made a terrible choice having luke as my fave JHVSDFHKV) or that angst makes for a bad story. i Love Angst and it deffo can used for great storytelling.

but this card manages without it in a really fun and charming and eeEEeEEeee-butterflies-in-my-heart kind of way.

later on, i'd come to realize that my biggest criticism for some luke cards is that theres a tendency for the story to rely solely on the gut punch angst or to be oversaturated in it to the point it's hard to really enjoy what's actually going on. while the emotional ouchies are inevitable and also key to many of luke's stories, it's a disservice to him as a character to only ever be pursuing his narrative through the lens of pain. he is more than that and his stories can benefit from little less leaning on angst for emotional impact.

this card is 5th place because i think it's proof that his stories can shine real great even without any angst at all

4th place: SSR Shape Of You

if the last card made it onto this list because it was a lighthearted delight, this card is on the list because it was the first luke card to make me CRY REAL TEARS. FUCK THIS GAME. FUCK THIS CARD. FUCK MY LIIIIIFFEEEE----//sounds of my voice getting softer and softer until i calm down

anyway, this card hurt me personally. but it wasnt oversaturated in angst; it's a very lovely balance of shenanigans, mounting tension, and heartfelt emotion. overall, it's a hopeful card actually. but it hurt me because it was among my first (and most long lasting) peek into the core of who i see luke to be. particularly, one of his key desires and the flaw that comes with it:

hes someone so devoted to doing good for his loved ones and simultaneously so scared of hurting them that he places himself at a lower value because thats how he thinks he can be a benefit to their lives

like, ok, i amend my first sentence in this card. it's not on this list cuz it made me cry. it's on this list cuz that crying was due to me getting a deeper understanding of how luke thinks, feels, and acts.

if i had to recommend one card to somebody who knows nothing about tot or luke pearce, itd be this one. its story is a blend of the good in him and the not-so-good in him and paints a really clear picture of who luke is.

3rd place: SSR Overflowing Thoughts

hey, SSR Overflowing Thoughts, see how im hyping you up the night before u actually r gonna be available? do u see how much i love you? ur gonna repay me by coming home without causing me much pain, right? RIGHT???? //brbs to calm self once more

ANYHOO, this card. is Good. it's really frigging good. i will be scant with the plot details so people dont get spoiled, but i will tell you that this card's story is an AU completely different from the actual stories of both luke and mc.

and when i say different, i REALLY MEAN IT. luke and mc's dynamics in this card are frigging lightyears away from what we're used to and this is not to the story's detriment, it's to the story's extreme absolute strength.

basically, this story does what a great AU is best at: showing us how different circumstances, lives, and choices can magnify and emphasize the core traits of the characters that will stay present in who they are no matter what universe they're in.

luke's core is devotion. mc's core is hope. this card does a fantastic job at hammering those things home effectively in a really frigging great story.

pls come home, SSR Overflowing Thoughts. PLEASE.....

2nd place: SR Star in the Palm

let's give it up for the only SR card on this list, Star in the Palm!!! //CROWD CHEERS (i am the crowd)

THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED FAVE. i got the card in december thru the xmas partyland boardgame like everyone else but then my brain went offline for a while and i only watched it in like, january i think. why did i wait. it's so good. IT'S MY 2ND MOST FAVE CARD STORY!!!

and it's my 2nd fave because the story is a wonderful blend of funtimes and feels, both those things working together to, again, paint a really lovely picture of who luke is.

this card in particular touches upon his fear of returning to mc's life. when i say this next bit, i say it with love: luke was a goddamn coward for a bit. he was in stellis way before he had first told mc he was, he had stalled on reuniting with her, he ran away from her. and he was scared of her knowing that, so he deflects and changes the subject and then

heres why this is 2nd place: mc is Not Fucking Having It. mc shoves chocolate into his lying liar mouth to get him to shut up. this card shows how luke is scared, yes, but it also shows how mc puts her foot down lovingly and makes it known that she'd like clearer answers. she wont force him, but thats what she wants.

and luke gives. both the answers and himself as a more honest person making more honest promises about how he'll act in the future.

it's the card that makes me rediscover (as if i ever forget, kJBSKJBDKF) why i love luke/mc so much: their relationship is ultimately about accepting fears and flaws and then---however imperfect the attempts may be---trying to be better moving forward

and now for my top fave //drumrollllllllll

//announcer voice: the card that did not come home after 74 fucking rolls and by then i had used up all my s-chips so i gave up and just forced my friends to watch this card with me via discord grp call

1st place: SSR Peaceful Place

why didnt you come home. WHY. WHY MUST U FORSAKE ME, LUKE PEARCE??????

this card is my top 1 fave for almost all the reasons ive mentioned before:

we've got well balanced story. like bruh, we get the cuteness of luke and mc ADOPTING A KID (that just so happens to be an elephant). we get 2 npc side characters, the Paige twins, who know luke from the NSB days and theyre the funniest faceless npcs ive ever seen in a card ever. we get the trope of oH NO, THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED! and then luke subsequently fuckin nerfs himself and doesnt take the oppurtunity (valid, respect women, but PLEASE DUDE, COME ON!!). we get the most heartwrenching scene on the planet when luke and mc have to say goodbye to their ELEPHANT SON. and then we fuckin get an action movie shoot out??? complete with the angst consequences?? WE GET MC KABEDON-ING LUKE!!!!!!

//wheezing. everything in this fucking card is my favorite part of this fucking card. theres fluff, theres comedy, theres excitement, theres sadness, theres a happy ending.

this card also is a great card that shows off a lovely picture of character, but here, it's not luke. like dont get me wrong, hes fantastic in this card. but everything we learn about luke here is stuff we know already. this card is good at showing off mc.

and it does this really well. it highlights what shes scared of, what she wants, and what she holds dear to her heart.

like, idk, now im going more on vibes here than anything that can be surmised from the story directly, but this card rlly feels...holistic. heres a full story jam packed with everything i love, filled to the brim with genuine character moments for luke and mc, and just such a lovely picture of their relationship:

filled with idyllic moments and dark uncertainties but at the end of the day, theyre both making their best effort to ensure each other's happiness, as their own happiness is entwined with the joy of the other.

aaaaand thats a wrap! this got very long kBKJSBKFJ i have a lot of feelings about luke 24/7....

#tears of themis #luke pearce #tot luke #asks #xia yan

What are your thoughts on the character writing in Shaman King? I think it's pretty interesting since it doesn't always spell out everything for the reader.

sorry for leaving this for like 87 years I was deliberating my opinions and then I forgot

pinkie promise to not ignore more asks for this long please give me more things to drabble on about

this triggered an unskippable cutscene so I'm adding a read more but if you don't wanna be here for years me complaining is still above the cut (though I recommend being a nerd with me I have a graph)

anyways I have a running bit with myself whenever I'm googling something mankin related (like when capitalism was invented or the average altitude in hokkaido or something about lsd for the fiftieth time) that I do more research than takei did originally writing the damn thing. the exact words I say are usually "I should stop expecting takei to be good at his job when I do this" because takei does suck at his job sometimes. directing you towards him using the entirety of pre-colonial mesoamerica as a grab bag of random traits that results in hell for me googling stuff because ohmygod

I think the character writing is where this happens the least (though there was one point during my flowers reread where I had to step away from my computer because I forgot he did a thing and it was the SINGLE WORST THING HE COULD HAVE WRITTEN for those characters with that plot element but I digress that is a whole other thing that I am not qualified for)

the writing of our main characters (specifically pacing) is funny though one second I have a graph

these lines display (roughly) the points in the story where we're introduced to our five main characters and also the points where we get full backstory reveals

as you can see

takei what the actual fuck why is it so imbalanced

I think it's a cool funny haha but sir did you forget that one of your most important characters didn't have a full backstory for like four years

not much else to say about pacing except the manga is already really zoomy and when you don't give them enough episodes to adapt it you get an any% speedrun wr 19 hours 50 minutes whateverI'mnotdoingmoremath seconds also look at this typo I made writing this it's very important

ok right where we we

actually answering the ask sounds like a good idea now

overall I really like the characters in the shaman king manga, reboot anime, and what I've seen of the 2001 anime. I've already written an entire post about how much I love yoh and hao's writing. hana and alumi are neat and red crimson is an excellent manga but we're no here for sequels

also it's important to note that I have been staring at shaman king for like two years straight, I have no sense of what's obvious knowledge and what's obscure nolifer wisdom ( no idea where I fall on that spectrum basically)

recently I've been in a real x laws appreciation phase, I think lyserg's arc specifically is a neat and complex take on justice and healing. it feels like something that could realistically happen to a person, minus all the supernatural stuff of course

ever since I first watched the 2021 anime the summer it started airing I've also really liked ren. he's got the zuko type redemption arc thing going on, and while that's an age old trope something about the way he was written always gets me. watching 2021 episode 27 for the first time the day it came out (as the first episode I watched weekly btw, rip osorezan arc you're beautiful but the first time I watched you I was so preoccupied) was one of the most memorable media experiences I've ever had. 😲 face the entire time

horo's another fave writing wise, again mostly because I think the ridiculous pacing of his arc is Hilarious, but if you interpret it as takei being good at his job (possible but unlikely) his introduction scene is fantastic at establishing a character without letting you know you're missing something. I for one didn't notice until the narrative pointed it out at which point I freaked out a bit because oh no I ignored my son by accident. the wisdom kings fight still makes me lose it every time I watch it scene of all time as well (voice performance has to be my favourite part of that I don't think it would go half as hard animated without that)

those three are my favourite characters writing wise. I also think jeanne is cool but her entire arc is very similar to both lyserg's and ren's so I shan't elaborate. I will however tell you about the time I was sitting in math class when my teacher mentioned joan d'arc, I had what can only be described as a eureka moment, and spent five minutes frantically googling things until I zoned back in to him talking about the time he almost drowned in quicksand on mont saint michel

there's also some neat stuff with plant and flower symbolism that I haven't looked into in months but is pretty neat (I like the part where weed shows up because I am so very mature)

don't even get me started on the musical leitmotifs and themes (no seriously don't I have no real musical knowledge and no one to fact check my bs) but I did write another post about some of it if you haven't read it

uh in conclusion I don't think takei knows what he's doing sometimes, character writing in shaman king pretty good sometimes me likey, I will make graphs on a whim for basically no reason

here have another one I did in two minutes to explain ren and jeanne's parallel character arcs once

giveb me more mankin asks if you have any I have so many OPINIONS and TANGENTS I wish to be PROMPTED

#shaman king #long post #mankin ask #look at my graphs aren't they beautiful #love me some tangents in a trench coat pretending to be a coherent answer

Hey, it's Kinnporsche-anon !!

So I finished the last episode and I miss them already :(((( And so i need to know : will there be a season two??? Because I couldn't find anything that said it was officially confirmed or cancelled it (which I really hope they don't, the potential of a second season is too good to pass on come on)

And again so many things to say I don't know where to start!!!

Ok so maybe Porschay first. His relationship with Porsch became my second favorite thing in the serie (after Kinnporsch of course). They may not have many scenes together but whenever they do my heart explode. They just love eachother so much and are so open about it with eachother, which I have to say is pretty refreshing for a sibling relationships. Not that I don't also love snarky, you're-annoying-but-I'll-die-for-you-I-guess sibling relationships, but it feels good to also have this kind where they are not afraid to be that affectionate and it being taken seriously and not having to end up with a joke. Also, speaking of Porschay, Kim definitely earned some rights for defending this cinammon role. And in such a badass way. He's probabaly the only character who seems to really enjoyed fighting that much lol, which makes him so intriguing with so many sides of him I really would love to see more of him! Also loved to see him comfort Tankhum aaawww (I really love sibling relationship lol).

Pretty happy about how VegasPete ended up. Never thought I would find a scene where a man covered in blood asking the other to be the one to kill him if he has to die that romantic, but here we are. Good for them good for them.

But of course none of this couples take the cake from Kinnporsch. I just can't with these two, every scenes they where together felt like a marriage proposal at this point, even when they were in mortal danger shooting people. If (when;)?) they actually do end up proposing (especially if it's in the WilxElizabeth in potc way omg), I'm not sure I would survive. And I'm pretty cinical when it comes to romantic couples in medias, I often can't unsee when they are too corny or cheesy and roll my eyes, but with them they somehow always made it work? Like it always felt so natural and so adorable dam i hate them so much. But since I can't quote everyone of their moments, here are my five fave of the last three episodes :

Kinn and Porsche going to see the guy who allegedly killed his parents in the car crasch (Kinn being such a rock for Porsche and supporting him no matter what, even offering his gun, and Porsch having learn to calm himself down and instantly reaching for Kinn like my heart)

The Graveyard speech (Kinn being so desperate to show Porsche that he could trust him with whatever he was hiding and Porsche being so giddy aaaaahh)

"I'm Porsche. I'm the one you love. And the one who loves you" (shutupshutupshutup how am i suppose to love any other ships after that?)

The confrontation scene in episode 11 (look I just loved the angst and the way Porsche was so hurt and Kinn so scared of losing him and how they did end up managing to actually communicate and diffuse the situation *cheff's kiss*)

"I'm on your side". the way I sqealed in that scene!! The devotion to eachother !!!! The fighting together!!! Just everything!!!!

I also found it very intesresting that, while Kinn was fighting his way into earning the Best Boyfriend Ever Award (the way he did not hesitate to follow Porsche when Porsche wanted to leave and be so domestic with him my heart), Porsche was the one having trust issues, which was a uno reverse card from the begining and I loved that, because it defintely made sense that he would in this situation and show they both had their own struggle to work through to be together.

And the way it ended omg!!! First with all the whisplashs of plottwist and revelations (I'm definitely not believeing a word Korn said, especially since we haven't seen Porsche's pov of the flashback, which I find really sus), Tankhum getting his own time to shine too, and then PORSCHE BECOMING A MAFIA LORD!!! LIKE I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW HE WAS MEANT FOR THAT!!!! THE BUILD UP TO IT IN THE LAST EPISODE WAS SO SO SO GOOD !!!!! YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I WAS LIKE UNTIL THE LAST SECONDS I WAS THINKING "yeah no it's too good to be true he's gonna say no or something" BUT IT DIDNT HAPPEN! Like the scene when the bodyguards bow to him was EVERYTHING to me, I got Badass Mafia Boss Porsche AND Iconic Power Couple Kinnporsche!!! I honestly did not have much hope it would happen considering how much Kinn saw his responsabilies as a burden, but the fact that this was resolved into him not "running away" but getting to share his responsabilties because he learned to love and trust someone else was the best evolution ever. And Vegas being the one who got to run away (for now I guess) was very cool too. And i can already see all the angst that can follow with Korn and his LIES, who probably only gave Porsche this power because he knew it would be easier to manipulate him since he's dating Kinn and his mother is kind of held in hostage (and probably hides something else too) but you know what bring me the angst I'm just so happy that Porsche finally will be able to explore all his potential in the mafia words and to finally have some power and control over it!!! I'm so proud of him :) So yeah I REALLY need a season two now :(((

So anyway, sorry for this very long comment lol. Thank you for responding to everyone one them, I always loved reading your responses, and for having gotten me to watch this amazing show!

Ok so truly do not apologize for the long comments. I need you to know that I have had multiple people DM me saying they are super invested in your reactions and get so excited to read them, so you have literal readers. It's like reliving the show with you and I love it!

I was soooooo excited for you to finish! First re: season 2... we don't know. Nothing has been announced or confirmed. A few of the actors have referred to season 2, so it seems that it is (was?) the intent and it also seems that all the actors are game, and obviously the storyline was set up for a s2, but there continues to be no announcement. I'm guessing there are a lot of machinations happening behind the scenes regarding the rights/budget/scheduling, and that will either work out or it won't. Generally you'd want to announce a s2 while the hype is still high from the first season, so this is not the ideal way to do it. I do think they'd be insane not to continue their success with a s2, but sometimes it's the actual logistics that don't come together. Unfortunately it continues to be a wait-and-see pattern at the moment.

I love that you started with talking about the relationship between Porchay and Porsche because YES. I love them so much too. I completely agree, I love the 'I'm gonna kick your ass but only I'm allowed to because I love you' sibling relationship, but Porsche and Porchay are just so incredibly soft and loving and precious, and it suits them completely. I love that you can see the way Porsche raised Porchay in how tender and loving Porchay is. He's so open and giving with his love, and that is 100% how Porsche is with him. It's so lovely and touching to see and I would die for their relationship. It really was so effectively done, because as you said, it's not like there were an overwhelming amount of scenes with the two of them.

BAMF Kim! I love him!!! Like you, one of my fave things was the way Jeff played out that fight scene like Kim was having fun absolutely wrecking those guys. It was so incredibly unqiue to his character and so goddamn ruthless and I was here for it. I can't wait to know more about him, and especially to see his relationship with his brothers (give me Kim and Kinn scenes please for the love of god).

"Good for them good for them" This as your reaction to Vegas/ Pete absolutely killed me lmao. Yeah truly, as fucked up as they are (intentionally), it's one of those things where being fucked up together made sense as their idea of domesticity lol.

Cosign everything you said about Kinn/Porsche. As much as I had quibbles with the later quarter of the season and the rushed pace, the KP scenes we got were absolute gold. I don't have the highest tolerance for cheese either, but I'm with you, KP manage to have just the right balance between this utter romantic sincerity, the raw emotions and angst that come with falling in love so damn fast and hard, those goofy, silly, giddy qualities of new love, and the intense, desperate physical need for one another. It works sooooo well.

I love the moments you listed. That car scene with them, with Kinn just being there for Porsche and Porsche leaning on him for support and comfort is so near and dear to my heart. I could go on and on about each moment you mentioned but I'll try to restrain myself and just say that I really loved the ep 12 confrontation too. I rewatched that scene a lot. I just love how betrayed and angry Porsche is and how unbelievably scared Kinn is, terrified to lose Porsche. And Apo with the subtle play of emotions across his face as he realizes Kinn truly doesn't know the reason Porsche was brought into the fold... it's just *chefs kiss*.

It was an interesting reversal that Kinn had completely given himself over to the relationship, devoted himself to Porsche, and finally trusted him completely... and Porsche, who had constantly accused Kinn of not trusting him, was the one betraying that trust. I wanted to smack Porsche around multiple times for it but I also couldn't deny it made sense for his character and the storyline. The ongoing trust issues are not something I want to see continue if we get a s2, but I appreciated how that was a core theme shaped by each of their actions throughout the season.

You got your Mafia boss Porsche! I know!!! In all your previous messages I was like... omg, I can't wait for them to watch the finale lolol. Like, you so had that conslusion nailed. I love how you put it too, talking about Kinn not running from his world or responsibilities and obligations to his family, but sharing that burden instead with the only person he truly trusts. Obviously if there is a s2 it's not going to be all hunky dory and there are going to be huge conflicts (spurred on by Korn's actions no doubt) but I do love how they solidified the equal partnership betweeen Porsche and Kinn in their actual roles within the mafia world. Their relationship was always established with an equality that normally wouldn't have been there in a relationship between boss and subordinate. But thanks to Porsche's shameless lack of respect for Kinn's authority (lolol) and the way he treated Kinn as a man first from the very beginning, we got to see them fall in love in a way that allowed the power dynamic to inform actions, but not prevent them from seeing one another just as they are, as equals in every way. But with that said, it was important to establish that in the literal power structure of their world and I'm glad we got it.

Ok but now I'm writing an essay so I'm gonna slow my roll and stop there lol. But please feel free to come back and chat more. I love hearing your thoughts!

Tales of Ba Sing Se Re-watch

Alright, I ain't even gonna lie to you guys this is yet another re-watch post made after a couple glasses of wine. I really don't have anything too deep to say about this episode though, it's just fun. This is also one of my most highly re-watched episodes so I don't even know why I re-watched it again for this re-watch. Just the completionist in me, I guess. But I literally do watch this episode all the fucking time lol it's a comfort episode for me & good background noise plus it's one of my sister's faves so she literally always has either this or 'The Beach' on.

(Yes I know my sister has good taste. Please comment about it so I can tell her. She is 12 & would be delighted & validated to know people on the internet think she has good taste.)

Already this post has gotten off track! I swear I used to be a party girl y'all I used to be able to drink anyone under the damn table at any time now literally only 2 glasses of red wine on a weeknight & I'm loopy lmao. Okay, what was I saying? What do I have to say about this episode? Look, basically, it's a slice of life & it's kinda like a fluffy fanfic to me. Like, it's not relevant to the plot but I love it so much. It's so important to me. Every show needs at least 5 episodes a season in this vein, I think that would fix modern TV I'm being completely serious.

Alright, so first of all the beginning is hilarious & precious. I just love all the kiddos getting ready in the mirror, & Toph being a hot mess who's ready to go & doesn't give a fuck about dirt.

Katara & Toph's segment is just so fucking cute.

I always completely forget until watching this episode how hard I used to ship Katara & Toph lol! Now I no longer ship them romantically but they have such an adorable friendship. I really love how Toph is hesitant at first but goes along with Katara's idea, & even sticks around after they touch her feet - the one thing she asked not to happen (don't blame you, baby girl, this is Nickolodean after all.) Toph freaking the attendant out with her silly mud mask face & making Katara laugh gets me grinning like a fool every time. I of course love Katara & Toph showing those mean girls what's what & sharing a soft moment. Best girls. I love them so much. Oh shit, the iconic behavior competition. They get +500 each for sending those mean girls down the river.

Alright & Iroh's adventure!!! Wow, I have like, nothing deep to say about it but I love it so much. I love Iroh helping people selflessly. The interaction with the would-be mugger is great. But the juxtaposition from Iroh singing to the crying kid on the street & singing as he plays tribute to Lu Ten.....I get emotional every time. Iroh's little tale says a lot about the way he interacts with the world around him & I love it <3 Also, +100 iconic behavior points for changing the mugger's life so easily.

Aang's adventure is funny but I have no deep analysis? Sorry guys I'm lacking in the deep analysis area right now. I mean, there's not much to say. It's entertaining. I'm a little confused about how there can be a zoo outside the walls of Ba Sing Se? Isn't it....kinda tricky to get in & out? I don't...ok.....anyway...

Sokka's adventure is hilarious. I love the slam poetry moment. But I don't have much to analyze there other than "haha funny."

Zuko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if you guys knew this about me, but I love Zuko. I know, I know, shocking. I love Zuko's little date with Jin. I saw the headcanon that Iroh purposefully made Zuko's hair into a 'do that would cause any girl with any sense to immediately ruffle it & that's just so cute, I totally read it that way from now on. "Zuko can't lie" as a character trait will forever be important to me. Zuko juggling even though he can't juggle will never not be funny & endearing. But I have to tell you guys, I was joking with some of you about how "Zuko has no game" before but like.....if u think about it Zuko did get a girl fully simping over him & trying desperately to get a lil kiss on the lips DESPITE his consistent fumbling so I MEAN. Say what you will but Jin was into him.

Also, I remember the first time I watched this episode I could not focus on anything else after Zuko lit the lanterns 'cause I was STRESSED. I was certain Zuko had given him & Iroh away.

Momo's segment just makes me sad 'cause it reminds me what episode is next & my heart is not ready.....

Anyway!!!! I love this cute little episode!!! That is all <3

#tales of ba sing se #atla re watch #this one is a hot mess lmao #atla book 2

doctor-donnas · 11 months

Note

your icon gives me serotonin (and i would die for your thoughts on 10 and donna PLEASE I AM STARVED)

ok i don't have a lot of time but i'm gonna start writing a reply

LISTEN

it's been already a few weeks (months?) since i finished DW but ALL THE TIME i was watching dw after season 4 i was just like "i miss donnaaaaa"

the Donna&Doctor dynamic is until my favorite doctor/companion combo EVERRRR and I cannot get over them

the 60s anniversary specials are gonna KILL me i just know it

anyways... my thoughts on them... where do I even begin?

First of all, they are idiots. I love them dearly, they complement each other fantastically <3

bc idk what exactly you want to know I'm just gonna go on a ramble of one of my fave moments (that i wanna explore in a fanfic one day mayhaps)

i suck at episode names so please forgive me but it's the episode where they are on the planet with the Ood and the Ood in captivity are singing their song and it is heartbreaking and beautiful. there is this moment where 10 shares with Donna what he hears, because she can't hear it. And she can bear it for maybe... five seconds? and then she asks him to make it stop. He does it without questioning. He is not angry or disappointed with her for not wanting to hear that. She has the choice to hear it and it's too much (so she knows her boundaries) and he respects that. I think she's crying at that point. Idk if that's in the show or if it's such a strong headcanon of mine but she asks him if he hears that all the time and he's like "yeah" and that just.

That whole scene. man...

Despite all the chaotic things they do, all the fun they have, it's funny that I chose *this* scene to talk about because I feel like it shows how deep their connection is.

First of all I think that David Tennant shows the pain that he constantly carries with him bc he's a timelord the best of all the doctors. baby is NOT okay. And I think in the scene I just described Donna really, *really* understands that. She understands how much he suffers, the gigantic burdens he constantly carries with him and that are only piling up. I think in that scene she sees it more clearly than ever and it changes perhaps the way she views him. She's still gonna annoy him, but idk man, I feel like that it's an important moment in their relationship.

And again, she usually doesn't hear the Ood, but in that moment she does, and all their pain SUDDENLY crashes down on her, that *must* have been unbearable. And 10 just taking the pain away with such grace and no judgement BREAKS me.

idk if what I'm saying actually makes sense but it's one of my favorite scenes and I wish we'd gotten a scene afterwards where they kinda talk about it. And Donna can't do much bc she *can't* stop 10 from haering the songs, she *can't* take his pain away, but she *can* be there with him, she *can* support him emotionally and if it's just for a second.

anyways, that was my very long ramble about one of my favorite DoctorDonna scenes and my favorite DW scenes in general I think (also because the music is just the most beautiful in the world)

if you have any more questions, more specific or not please send them my way, i could ramble about this chaotic duo for forever

p.s. thanks, i love my icon too, i wanted it to be donna and 10 first but i didn't find a photo that gave off the chaotic energy i wanted so it became much ado about nothing <3

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks...

Oh, this is a rough question, it's difficult to choose only ten characters. Anyway thanks for the ask! :D

Lavi Bookman (D.Gray-Man) I think I already wrote about him in a manga challenge I did some time ago, I don't want to repeat myself, but I love Lavi because of his personality, he acts silly most of the time, but when the situation demands it, he gets serious and pulls out of all his skills.

11th Doctor (Doctor Who) I need to say that I like all the Doctor's regenerations, but Eleven as a special place in my heart, because he is the Doctor in what is my favourite episode (Vincent and the Doctor) of the entire series . Anyway it's not the only reason he's my fave, this Doctor seems so joyful but hides a lot of suffering within himself and Matt Smith's interpretation convey all of this so well!!

Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen) He is strong, handsome, smart and it's funny to see how he bothers everyone around him. Sorry, I have no special reason for linking him ahah

Osamu Dazai (Bungou Stray Dogs) The fact that he always seems to plot something is really interesting to me. He's pretty much a menace and I can't help to love him.

Akari Mizunashi (ARIA by Kozue Amano) For Akari every little experience is important and it seems that everything shines through her eyes, I think she's a reassuring character.

Gilbert Nightray (Pandora Hearts) The most loyal character I've ever seen, additionaly I like his design.

Ash Lynx (Banana Fish) He's intelligent and has shown a strong willpower despite his past, also I love his gentle side when he is with Eiji.

Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler) I don't know why I like him so much, he is just…perfect? Oh and I must say that I laugh so much when he is placed in humourous situations, it's neat.

Cozmez - Kanata Yatonokami and Nayuta Yatonokami (Paradox Live) Ok, maybe I like Nayuta slightly more because he seems the quiet one, but still I don't want to choose between them, you know what they say: "They are a set, do not separate them". So aside their fraternal bond, I love their music and how their storyline has been handled, I don't want to go into details, but I was pretty moved by it and I developed a strong attachment to these two.

Doremi Harukaze (Ojamajo Doremi) She was my fave when I was little, I can't exclude her from this top ten. She is just too relatable, especially from the point of view of a child.

I want to thank you for all of your great Drag Race UK gifs from both the finale (I can’t believe you did so many so quickly) and throughout the season💝

I also wanted to know what you thought of the episode. I was a little worried about how the song mashup would go but I really loved it and the performance was amazing (and I loved how they brought back the other queens for both the finale runway and the performance🤩). I knew it would come down to Danny and Cheddar for the top two (and they were both my faves) and I feel like I kept going back and forth between who I wanted to win but I’m definitely happy with the winner (even though I was hoping for a tie since I honestly couldn’t pick🙈)

And since I’m already in your inbox I also wanted to talk about Drag Race Italia and make a gif request (if that’s okay). If you wouldn’t mind would you be able to gif Nehellenia winning this week and all the cuteness surrounding it (like her going over to hug Aura and Diamond and how happy they were🥰)? I really enjoyed this episode (and I’m loving the season as a whole) and I just love how close all the queens are to one another (and it was so sweet when La Diamond asked Aura to be her drag daughter☺️)

Thank you in advance for the gif and once again thank you for all your great gifs you gift us with for so many different drag shows and thanks for continually being amazing💗

helloo 🤗 i was a couple of eps behind on italia but i just finished catching up and am ready to read your thoughts!! but druk first! honestly neither can i 😅 when i came on tumblr the next morning i was wow ok that was a lot :P sometimes i finish an ep with so many screen recordings i just have to go go go otherwise i probably wont get round to them unless someone requests but anyway yes i thought it was a great finale i really enjoyed it!! the mashup was a nice twist and i thought they all did pretty well and yes it was so nice to see all the eliminated queens again! they looked amazing! oh and the finale lipsync!? so good!! i thought that might make the winner more clear but no they were both equally amazing i really don’t know how ru picked tbh but i’m very happy danny won 💕 a lot of the uk queens do tv appearances here (especially viv + lawrence) and i feel like it’ll be just the same for danny! yes ofc thats okay, i’ll get it done tomorrow ^^ that was adorable i’m glad she finally got her win! and yes the drag daughter moment was super cute, i loved that moment too and fully understand why many people had asked to be aura’s drag mother, shes so sweet and charming 🥰 (also i think this was the first italia episode where i fully agreed with the placements so that was nice too lol) and can i just say in ep5, i loved how chiara went full pageant mum during the rehearsals and rusical 🤣 an icon and no problem, its nice to connect with people about drag through gifs! and thank you for always being so kind, i hope this coming festive season is nice to you 💖💕

Ask game 1 and 8!

hey!! thank you so much for the ask!! apologizes that it took me so long to answer!!!

Top 3 Doctors?

ok i already answered that here: thanks for asking though!!!

8. OTP?

ok i also answered this one in the other ask, but!! i will give a diffrent but equaly right answer here!!

there are really rare ships i ship with the doc, but, River song... wow, eshpeshelly with 12!! like gosh, what an absolote comfort ship!! they fit so well comidically and emotinally, man i wanted their single episode to never end!!

like its so clear that 12 is the only doc that can really suprise River!! a doctor she can feel completely new and honest with!! and man the comfort and the fact that she suprises him every time still, it just hits diffrent with them man i adore them so much!!!

also, now its strickly platonic, and now a days it feels way more like "the doctor is actually our son that we somehow adopted but he is also our parent somehow" but 11, Amy and Rory are my fave new who team, they used to be my fave tardis team in general, and i simply adore how much they love each other and i adore their dynamic together so much!!! its unlike anything i have ever seen from who ever!!

even as i get to more trios like C'rizz and Charley for example, as much as i adore those 3 as well, there is something so loving about the ponds and the doc!! they truly are family and i can read fics about them every day all day!! the fics of 11 living with them for a long ass period of time i can read for hours i simply love them!! i could even give some recs too lol

there used to be a time where i would say that i would give my blood and soul to big finish to give me more of this trio, and espeshelly if they manage to give me the Rory and 11 are alone for a whole adventure to explore their emotinal journy together episode i always wanted and for some reason never got, even though we had this trio for a whole ass 2 and half season man

anyway, thanks for sending the ask and leting me ramble a bunch lol, have great day!!

#momo answers asks #11th doctor #eleventh doctor #amy pond #rory williams #river song #12th doctor #twelfth doctor #thank youuuu #man this has motivated me to go back to my 11 living with the ponds fic to reread so thank you for that lol

Just three more asks from me, Annie (also, I can't count to save my life. Seven fandoms. Not five or six, lol)~

For this one, I'd like to ask about Arcane! Specifically, Caitlyn and Vi!

Caitlyn Kiramman

1: sexuality headcanon

Believed she was heterosexual until season 1. Now she's questioning and reevaluating some memories that make way more sense in retrospect (tm)

2: otp

With Vi, of course! They really have great chemistry together, and it seems like they just... click? Even though they come from very different backgrounds, they can make each other better :)

3: brotp

Jayce, who's been his surrogate idiot brother for years. They know exactly how the other tics, which can be both a good and a bad thing xD

4: notp

I'm not against Caitlyn/Jayce, but I like their friendship too much so I'm not thrilled with that pairing.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

She learned how to cook from her dad, and finds it quite soothing :)

6: favorite line from this character

"This city needs healing. More than I ever realized.”

7: one way in which I relate to this character

She's an optimistic realist, I like that.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

How exactly did that sequence of events with Jinx go, in the last two episodes?I don't want to spoil you but... did Jinx just... wait around for her to make herself presentable? 🫣

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Badass Cinnamon Roll, Piltover PD.

1: sexuality headcanon

Disaster lesbian, out and proud. Had herself figured out early enough for Vander to know. Vander was very supportive; he already threw bigoted people out of the bar after all.

2: otp

Ditto, Caitlyn <3

3: brotp

Ekko, maybe? They are, in a way, all that is left of the halcyon days of their childhood and Ekko is someone she'd trust not only to not betray her, but trust that he's strong enough not to leave either.

4: notp

Jinx or Vander, they are family after all. Probably Silco too because I can't see it happening in a healthy or sane manner.

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

She was already learning the ropes to take over the Last Drop for Vander, including accounting and such, before the events of canon made the point moot.

6: favorite line from this character

"We’ve all had bad days. But we learn, and we stick together.”

7: one way in which I relate to this character

Her family, found or biological, is her number one priority.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

"Ok, punching didn't make the problem go away... I know, I'll punch it HARDER!" >:(

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon roll inside a hard problematic fave shell.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO RECOMMEND 'BLUE LOCK' TO YOUUUU!!! IT'S SO GOOD!! PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!

OH MY GOD YES OKAY I AM SOOOOO GLAD TO HEAR YOU ASK ABT THIS BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY INSANE OVER ALL OF IT. I AM UNWELL. I AM NOT ACTING NORMAL ABOUT THIS STORY.

okay anyways now that i've gotten that out of the way. oh my god okay favorite characters lets do this

tbh i am soooo in love with, like, 99% of them. the only character i am actually annoyed by is barou but i also feel like he could grow on me with a few more chapters, yk? oh! just to clarify, i've read up to chp 71!! so some spoilers up until then incoming :) i'm a little insane as i get ready to keep reading. i skipped out on a party to do this LMAO. so favorites! but not in any order because i can't do that!

bachiraaaaa!!! oh my god he is my boy. he is everything to me. just,,, you expect me to read the words "there is a monster inside of me" and expect me to NOT go insane abt it? he plays because it's fun and he's at blue lock to find someone who has the same monster, the same desire and passion, he is SO much and i am obsessed with it. literally the moment he stole the ball from isagi in the tag game they played, i KNEW. he's my type of character fr. rin telling him that "you're searching for someone with your soccer" i'm gonna fucking scream. oh and also he's the sleepy boy representation that i need, so.

^^things i'm not !!! ok !!!!!! about !!!!!

reo.... i just think he has sooooo many issues and they are so so so interesting. like, this is a character who gets everything he wants and then the one thing he really desires is just out of his reach. he is so broken up about nagi, too, and i loooove to see that in my pathetic little men. top ten things that had made me insane so far: reo saying "have you forgotten our promise" in reference to him saying they're going to be the best in the world, followed immediately by nagi saying that he's the one who's forgotten their promise, in reference to reo saying "let's play soccer." i'm literally howling at the moon. screeching at the sun like a bat. i am going crazy over this.

^^^reo you literally have so many problems and i NEED to see you self-destruct

isagi!! tbh idk if i'm really usually a main character person, but i'm a little in love with isagi. he's just. SO interesting. every time he talks about devouring other players' skills and making them his own....i am literally losing my mind. in the game against chigiri, kunigami, and reo, when isagi talks about devouring barou's darkness and turning it into light....catch me literally screaming out loud about him. his growth and "leveling up" is SO much fun to watch/read and i AM dying over it. every time he learns a new weapon or figures out how to better use one, i AM in my bed pumping my fist and screaming go best friend you go best friend!!! i believe the next chp is the game against bachira, rin, aryu, and tokimitsu, and i can already feel myself losing it a little bit.

^^^HELLO?????? I'M NOT OKAY ??????

chigiri! i'm not as insane about him as i am about the others, but i do love him very very much. the "i play for that joy i felt the first time i outran someone" and the "for as long as my legs work i want to play soccer" moments genuinely had me crying no joke. and his whole deal at the very start with "i was looking for a way to give up" versus his growth to wanting to beat isagi and become the best in the world... i am sooo unwell about it. in, like, fifty chapters he's grown SO much and i am so excited to see where he goes from here. and i think the match up between him and aryu is gonna be reeeaaalllyyyy interesting, too!! super excited to see how that pulls through. ahhh. he's just soooo.

^^literally trembling as i read this again

ahhhh. yeah ok extensive list oops. i think those are all the main faves right now !!! i am so broken about them and it has literally been 13 episodes and 70 chapters. that's so fucked up.

the thing is just that this show was, like, TAILOR MADE to all of my interests. it's sooo high stakes and for what. it's my favorite sport in real life. it has characters who need therapy for real. god. yeah.

#ask #blue lock #as my roommate put it: this show was literally MADE for them to love.#which. yeah. true facts.#these characters are all batshit insane and i'm obsessed with them

Smiles V2

Ok managed to combine my fave bits of the previous design attempts into something cohesive. Some character ideas under the cut.

Each of the rides at the park produces enough emotional responses in people (the basis for magic in this world) that they have become sentient magical spirits. Unfortunately, magic and magical beings can't directly interact with the real world unless channeled through an already living creature. As such the ride's need something other than metal tracks to influence people.

Smiles is one of the few humans to be chosen as a host for a ride spirit. She's the current host of The Smiler ride at Alton Towers.

Not quite decided on her backstory yet. I think she'd probably be an ex-member of the Ministry of JOY. Donno what she was doing with them but she wasn't supposed to be a host and got Smiler by accident. Kind of a wrong place, wrong time situation.

All Ive got on MOJ so far:

Smiles was an employ who was either completely or partially marmalised

The ministry were trying to harness the magic of the rides to strengthen their mind control magic.

They had been siphoning off magic from the park for years before the Smiler ride was built. Their main goal was to try manifest magic essence as a physical substence. They had success with the creating "JOY" in gas form. However it took repeat exposure to the gas to maintain the control so they wanted try condense the magic into a liquid form.

After a lot of failures they eventually learned about the Hosts of the rides. Hosts tend to have a lot of magical power and if they could get a hold of one, they might be able to use the Spirit's power to make the mind control more effective/permanent. So they start funneling money at the park to make a new ride.

Eventually they get a hold of new spirit and try to harness its magic. This has mixed results.

Some MOJ vs Towers staff shennanigans happen and the ministry are forced out. This leaves Smiler without a host. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on who you ask, there's still a few marmalised victems staff left in the park so Smiler has options. It ends up choosing the barely coherant at the time girl with blonde hair.

Thus Smiles is born! ...to the horror of everyone.

I'm still working out her powers but Smiles defo inheritied the mind control magic. She's got various ways of hypnotising people but it's either via eye contact or exposure to the JOY she naturally produces.

She's also got illusionary magic. She can create illusions and alter people's perception to varying degrees. She's still practicing this subset of magic but she's master turning herself invisible.

Her personaility changes depending on how much JOY she's currently got in her system. Normally Smiles is a laid back trickster. she likes pulling pranks and generally being a nuisance but she's not malicious. Unfortuanetly, while she is the most resistant creature to the effects of JOY she isn't immune to it. If too much builds up it can effect her mood and leaves her a hyper active pest. She can be varying levels of lucid during these episodes and the aftermath always leaves her exhausted so she does everything she can to avoid them.

When she's not working in the park or being annoying, Smiles is almost always lazing about. She's a certafied couch potato. Because Smiler's magic is so powerful it takes a lot of energy to control it. As such Smiles has to rest and eat a lot more than a normal human would.

Oh about her outfit. In case my handwriting isnt clear:

The buckles she has are based off the screws seen on the ride. She also has 13 loops on her right leg and 1 loop in her hair for a total of 14. This is because the Smiler coaster has 14 inversions (a world record!)

Your Ex Shows Up At a Gig and You Are Absolutely Rocking It. (Literally)

Alright some Acronyms to know.

YEN- Your Ex's Name

EFN- Ex's Friend's Names

YN- Your Name

YEFD- Your Ex's Favorite Drink

Songs for the chapter:

IDKHOW songs: "Infatuation" "Clusterhug"( Broebcks and iDKHOW mash version)

The Brobecks songs: "If You Like It Or Not" (demo music, it has that 8bit stecato, but official release lyrics!)

Dallon's Outfit!!

white button up, short sleeved, rolled up to right below his armpit. black suit pants. Black dress shoes. Messy brown hair, gorgeous bluish/green eyes. He’s TALL very tall.

Your Outfit!!

Fave band tee or iDKHOW/ Brobecks!! Darker demin blue jeans (ripped) black fishnets underneath the jeans. Fishnets under your shirt that spread to your finger tips. Silver chain necklace, couple helix piercings, couple small scattered tattoos.

(Whatever makeup you like/clean face if you don’t wear any :)

I'd add thicker combat boots or a cyberpunk look! Makes you look taller and edgier!!

Y/N Fem reader!!

For all the girlies out there that occasionally have a small episode of missing their ex, this will pick you up and make you feel more confident! Especially if you love Dallon Weekes.

YOUR EX'S POV:

My feet shuffle down the sidewalk, kicking a rock as I go. I completely ignore anyone who passes by. The sky radiates vibrant shades of red, pink and purple, even some blue. The clouds a perfected cotton like texture.

"You guys here yet?"

My Friends:

"AYEEEE YEA!! WE HER"

"YEA, MAN!!!! PARTAY!!!"

"There's a sic bamd here. They're pretty goud. Hot girls here two." A perverted smirk grows on my face. A night i can easily forget and shove everything down.

I roll my eyes, 'Already drinking, I see.'

Even a block before I reach the bar, music is already being heard. People crowd around the door and bar trying to hear as much as they can. I walk by some peers, "I didn't know they had a gig here! No way! The power couple of the century and they didn't post a gig night! They sound like they're almost done anyways, wait Dallon's talking. It's completely crowded in there." "I wish we got seats!" My grimace grows as I open the door. As soon as I reach the threshold, a sea of people greets me. The only "hot girls" I see are the sweaty, red faced waitresses working. It's really warm in here. There's so many people that I can barely breathe. Everyone's shouting that Dallon and a girl named 'Y/N' I had an ex named Y/N. I don't even bother looking at the stage until i found my group.

"Y/E/N!!!!" Faint screeches steer me in my friends' direction. I try my best to focus on the path to get to them first. Cheers and claps paired with hollers and whistles to the band. Laughing from the band members can be heard. I finally reach my destination and sit down next to my best friend. "YOOOOOOO Y/E/N HOW'S IT GOING?!" He grabs my shoulder and shakes me vigorously. "We just saw each other at work like 2 hours ago..." My dry attitude earns a stiff laugh from him. "Hey, please get him a Y/E/F/D!" "Ahhh, nah, I'm ok for now, thanks."

My mind quickly changes when i hear a certain voice. It was hard to recognize at first. As time went on, I guess the pitch of voice got deeper. Time suddenly slows literally like in the tv show. My stomach and heart become one and feel like they're being dropped from a severe height. My eyes slowly scan the chaotic environment to the stage. Stomach acid shot up into my throat. There she was. My ex, "Y/N" an airy whisper shot out. Looking gorgeous as ever. Sweating, playing and singing on stage with a band?! When we were together she didn't have any interest of playing instruments. She basically just had college, daddy issues and a sudden drinking problem.

"Wait... is that...?" E/F/N asks, I sharply nod. Part of me wanted to shout obscurities at her and get her attention, but i found it to be unproductive. The other part of me feels, relief? Relief that she's not a... not in... alive still I guess? She had a lot of mental health issues and some bad habits. Flecks of jealousy are discovered in the base of relief. 'In a band? Playing bass? How? We've been broken up for almost 4 years now. She seems like a pro.' Are those tattoos?! Her hair is parted and fixed to wear I can even see some additional piercings. Holy sh*t she’s changed quite a bit. Her fingers effortlessly slide and press and release the strings of the bass. I can see what colors she has for her bass when the lighting switches to normal. A black body, a very dark brown neck, a very dark blue pick guard with silver, glowing strings, silver tuners, i can see sparkles in the pick guard as her guitar as it shifts around.

"Tonight, we are debuting our newest release, "Infatuation" it's been a dream of mine too have female backup singer. But I actually am going to let Y/N take the lead here." Y/N slowly swivels her head to the guy talking and her finger pokes her chest. "Yes, you, love." The last word stings for some odd reason. ‘They’re together??’ It seemed like they were for centuries. The way they looked at each other, the way they just complimented each other. The lyrics, their movement. Their lustful gazes, their lovestruck gazes, their speech, honey drips in their tone as they talk to each other, even serenade one another. The crowd whoops and hollers as Y/N slides up the notes scale and arches herself so she can look at the ceiling all while playing the guitar. All while Dallon is behind her and beside her. They move in sync as their legs wobble to where they hunch down. Apparently, it’s his signature move and she coped in on it at the right moment. It was like they were made for each other.

Did he write this song for her? The song’s lyrics were juicy, almost scandalous. The way he just towered over her and gave her telepathical kisses was insane. Her hair begins to stick to her forehead just like his. She begins to wrack her head around to fight off the stray hairs sticking to her face. Some guys/girls whistle. Y/N chuckles and leaves her gaping smile on her face. As they groove and dive forward with the beat, my stomach swells and knots. I feel like I’m going to be sick. All this time, and she wasn’t mourning me? She was playing with this douche? For how long? How did they end up together? Is he just as unwell as she was?

As the song ends Dallon steps back and finds whatever song they wanted to play next. It was just the two of them and a drummer. AN: (Not Ryan cause he was fired for stealing irl) Dallon held the electric guitar with ease and maturity. Y/N was at times stiff only to loosen up when she’d bend and wiggle with the beat.

Y/N and Dallon finally separate from their battle of who can look into each others eyes the longest as they run their eyes up and down each others bodies. I raise my hand for a second drink. The waiter instantly hands me one. Y/N raises her hands and boxes half the room in between her arm span. Dallon does the same with his arms but it covers most of the audience. The crowd chuckles. “Is that ok, love? You can be louder.” He backs up and turns her monitor up more. “No wayyyy. We got this!! Right Clusterhug Brobecks crew!!” The small group cheers. “Let’s go!” Dallon instantly plays the music and they hop up and down on beat. “They’ve never done this before!!” A girl screeches. “This is awesome!!” Another girl squeals. Geez when did so many people start to love them? “I’m so confused” E/F/N calls out. Y/N swings her head to us, she shrugs jovially and simultaneously strums the bass.

my group was practically torn down the middle of the crowd. We obviously didn’t participate but basically the rest of the room joined in loud company. Y/N kept up with Dallon as perfectly as she could, which to my surprise under such a crowd is just nauseatingly well. Her vocals harmonize and some of the lyrics are actually different than Dallon’s. I can’t quite make out what she’s singing compared to what he is, the alcohol is kicking in.

3RD PERSON POV:

As the song comes to a close, Y/E/N only grows more and more inebriated. Restless more or less. His awkward pacing gives Y/N a chance to get some eye contact. As she sets the pace for the next song, her eyes trickle down to meet his. His ashamed, rosy face emerges from the crowd. A devilish smirk slowly and tauntingly grows on her face. Her eyes glaze over, her eyelids start to lower till they get to the halfway point. She defeats him. And he feels it. Without a word, she knows she wins. His eyes dart elsewhere. She takes a victory lap while singing the demoed version of, “If You Like It or Not” released lyrics, but demoed 8bit sound. Oh how she loved seeing him shiver and shake about while Dallon and her sang about each other. Being together forever with Dallon is all she has ever wanted. Y/E/N knows that now. As Dallon strides to Y/N his saunter sneaks up to her. Her head is raised by his fingers resting gently under Y/N’s chin. He sweetly massages it and gracefully edges his fingers off your jaw. Her vision follows his fingers up to his eyes. Y/N locks attention to him. Her mouths hang open with suspense as your erotic lyrics drip with satisfaction and elegance. All she could imagine was him holding her in his arms. Dallon sweetly kissing her, grabbing at Y/N’s hands to hold. His sweet, wholesome nature arouses her in such a way. She gives in almost every time when an opportunity presents itself. She just can’t help it. It’s Dallon James Weekes. The most beautiful man she’s ever been with or seen is captivating her. There he is standing in all his glory, a glow under the lights. Hes taking captive of every thought behind Y/N’s beautiful eyes. As his fingers slide and push down the metal strings on his bass, Y/N is hypnotized by the veins on Dallon’s hands. She memorizes every movement and twitch of his hand to remember later for after show fun. Its hard to do anything else after a couple’s show high. Dallon’s mouth drops slightly and Y/N internally swears she can see drool seeping out of the corner of his mouth as she teases the stringer ever so softly.

As Y/E/N turns to leave, Y/N speaks. “Well” she swiftly fans herself as her and Dallon still pant rapidly. “As we come back down from that…” her eyes bulge and a s*it eating grin can be found. “We have 2 more songs for yinz tonight,” that Pittsburgh twang broke out of her for a split second. Y/E/N immediately leaves to go and hurl onto the concrete outside like a typical old drunkard who lost his job. Except he still has his ol job, but he lost his pride that night…

AN: yoooooo I feel so much better after that. I feel powerful! Hope you do too!!
