I LOVE your Sakura AU, thank you so much for making it 🥹
Even though her ending is supposed to be “good”, I always thought that canon didn’t do her justice and threw any character development she had out of the window so she can be with Sasuke
I SO wanted her to finally move on and just let go
And I don’t have anything against Sasusaku
But I think it’d be much more beautiful if Sakura long let go of her feelings by the time Sasuke came to his senses and they developed their relationship TOGETHER from the START
And, once again, your work is AMAZING and I can’t wait for next pieces ❤️
Btw, can I ask a question?) Will we see Naruto’s and Sasuke’s reaction to her condition (maybe flashback to before she left the village?), if not, can you please tell me a bit about it? I can’t imagine them to ignore her after the incident, especially considering that they are at fault as usual
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you so much for the kind words! I've also never been a fan of how Sakura ended up. I have no beef with SasuSaku, but my biggest issue was that we never saw Sasuke try to make up/connect with Sakura in the same way we saw him do with Naruto, so their romance in Boruto just felt so...abrupt?
As for what happens to Sakura and her friends....
Sasuke was essentially put on probation/jailed, but broke out and defected to Otogakure as canon. This devastates Sakura, as she's both in deep denial about his contribution to her injuries and also the fact that she basically threw herself in there for nothing. Kakashi shuts down completely. It's a nightmare replay of his own past, including the female team-mate being horrifically injured by the chidori. The guilt of everything is eating him alive so he basically withdraws into himself and uses her demotion to civilian status as a way to trick himself into thinking that if he just 'rips off the bandaid' and cut ties, she'll be able to move on more easily.
Naruto is the only person who is really able/willing to face justice. After the incident, he was basically also put on probation/awaiting trial but busted himself out to join Jiraya.
So for context, Sakura got clapped hard by the Rasengan/Chidori combo (hearing gone, nerve damage, eyes shot etc) and basically had to be put in a coma to try and stop the damage from getting worse, but unfortunately none of the medics in Konoha had the ability to reverse anything but the most superficial damage. So Naruto joined Jiraya in an attempt to find and bring the only person in the world who could give Sakura a sliver of hope.
I felt like this worked well with canon and the desperation to get Tsunade to be hokage and Naruto basically begged her on his hands and knees to help Sakura. Tsunade made it there in the nick of time managed to save everything but her eyes.
But Sakura's life has fallen apart, her career is over, her parents dead from Konoha Crush and her eyes gone...and Naruto is the most convenient and available person to take out all her rage on, so...while he deserves a lot of that rage..she is essentially punching down on who she perceives to be the cause of all her problems.
Lee is in the same boat as her, but while he tries very hard to be there for her, Sakura can't stand to be with him right now, as it just makes the reality of life hit that much worse- especially when she finds out there's a surgery that might give him a better chance than she'll ever have.
And Ino visits often at first, but then it's awkward...and painful as the weeks go by. They have lunch and gossip but at some point, there's not much a shinobi and civilian have in common, especially after the shortage of manpower post Konoha-crush has Ino entrenched in the shinobi life more than ever before.
I hope this answered some stuff! Thank you so much for the questions and the interest! I love Sakura and I just wanna give her the development and power she deserves!!

Hoax- Simon 'Ghost' Riley
Tumblr media
Based on a request
May I request another angst of Fem!Reader x König/Soap/Ghost (whoever you prefer actually) whereby; Prompt: 1. They’ve both are in a relationship but broke off to work on themselves, along the way, they decided to get back together and work through the issues. 2. Without reader realising, her partner was getting to know other people (sort of being stringing along). Until she found out from someone else. (She’s sort of being the “other woman”) 3. Despite the knowledge, reader still holding on to the ‘relationship’ since their partner has been giving false hope that they will chose reader (sadly reader’s being left behind for another). I hope the request is okay? Please feel free to ignore n delete this, if its not up to your liking 🫶🏻🫶🏻 tqsm!
F!Reader, angst, cheating, civilian!reader, the other woman vibes.
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in
It all started when he sat you down on the living room sofa. "We are drifting apart, my love." Tears formed in your eyes, lips quivering as he held your hand. "It's time we grow and move on and if we are truly meant for the other, then we'll come back to the other." His words are like a dagger to your heart. He kissed your cheek and walked out of your home. A place you only called home when it was with him.
One night, as you walked the streets of Manchester, you and him stumbled upon each other. His face lit up, a glimmer of hope in you. "R/N, hi...um.." he never expected the woman he loved and missed, especially after he got home from his worst missions. And that's how you and him got back together. It was hard to move on and start over, but it was paradise for how it felt. He was sunshine once more, it was slow for him to bring back the light he took.
Now, it's been 5 months since you got back together. Everything is going great, the dates and the nights you spend together are more than incredible. Until one night, when he got back home after a night out with the men of his task force, his teammate and now closest friend, Soap was the one who broke the news to you. Regret on his face when he asked you to talk outside. Simon was drunk, sleeping in the room you two had made promises in. Meaningful promises. One's you took with great seriousness. And unfortunately, he didn't.
Soap tried to break it to you easily, he knows the love story between you and his friend. That's why it was so hard to just say the words. He sighed and looked at you, "...this will hurt, bonnie. And I hate to be the one who tells you but he isn't...loyal..not one bit." You look at him and blink a few times. "What do you mean?" you knew exactly what he meant, but, it's better to hear it. "He is seeing this other girl, and I am in no position to comment on a lady but she is no beauty like you, bonnie."
He looks at you, the heartbreak you are feeling showing in your delicate face. "She thinks he is loyal to her, They started to date two weeks before you and he went back to dating...I'm sorry, I really am and I hate to be the one who tells you this," he pauses and takes your hands in his. "If that girl knows you exist, she'll think you are the other woman, not the other way around." Tears run down your face. "So, this whole time, when he was out for missions-"
"We've had only 1 mission since you came back into his life, all others are fake. Just so he can be with her for longer."
"Soap-"
"Johnny, I'm Johnny, bonnie"
"Johnny, why...why did you decide to tell me this?"
"I'm a man, his best friend, but I have sisters, a mother and a lass for myself. No woman deserves this, you are an amazing girl, R/N. You deserve the best in life, to not be hidden from the world. I told my lass about this and she agreed I should be the one to break this to you."
He looks at you, wanting to know what you'll do about this. Your eyes are a blur as more tears run down. Soap's girlfriend was in the car as she too cried for you. She couldn't tell you, afraid she'd do or say something to infuriate you or worse let Simon hear the conversation. When you have no other words, Soap leaned in, kissed your cheek and wiped your tears away. "Goodnight, bonnie." he walks away and soon drives off. You sit on the stairs of the house, no longer a home. Cries turn into sobs. The moon is the witness to such heartbreak.
The next morning, you woke up to an empty bed and a sticky note to your bedside. "Out for training," the lie says.
The entire day, you contemplated, should you speak on the matter? If you don't do crazy and rather stupid things for love, are you really in love? The question pondered all day and evening. Maybe he isn't the man you set yourself for, but my gods did you hope it was him who you were meant for. You had gone to war with yourself just for him because that is how much stupid stuff love makes you do. You love him but that same love is killing you.
He came home, tired as usual. Went straight to go shower, if a man his size and age was smart enough for wars then he would be smart to leave her scent out of your house. Disrespect is what most call it, to have the man you love not even clean himself before entering the place his lies live in. What is the stupidest choice you made that night? To stay, to continue to live in lies and in ruins.
He sat on the sofa, watching some shit show as he ate the dinner he prepared for himself. You sat on the other corner until he carried you back to his spot and sat you on his lap. Does he do this with her?
Does she cancel plans just in case he calls? Does he tell her he loves her and that one day they'll marry? Worst to think he loved you.
Like all the books you've read, they all have some plot twist and what a plot twist he is. You'd steal the stars for him, make the poets jealous from the many sonnets you create when you think of him.
Did he ever get drunk and have karaoke nights with her? Do they have their own group of friends? Does she love him like you do? Does she kill herself over and over for just one glance, one kiss or one touch?
The kisses he planted on your neck or face, gave you reasons to stay and believe in his lies. You sleep in a bed and cover your body with lies. "I love you, R/N" he whispers as he holds you close. Out of all his lies, "I love you." was your favourite.

Rainbow After the Storm (Maki x Reader Drabble)
Warnings: angst if you squint (just about being stressed and pressured), mentions of the Zenin clan (in relation to Maki and how they made her feel), overall just fluff about making each other feel better <3
A/n: I… I love this request so muchhhh ahhhhh!!! It's so cute and fluffy… and it's like something I never knew I needed in my life <3 I really love all the Maki requests so I'm hoping to get more from all of you! (I love her)
Ship: Maki Zenin x Gender Neutral!Reader
@nothin-l, here you go! Sorry it took so long for me to finish it 🥲 I hope you enjoy reading it
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being a Jujutsu sorcerer was bad enough on its own, but being a student at the same time? Basically torture. And yet, that's what you had to go through everyday, being a second year student at Jujutsu High. You can't say that you were used to having schedules packed to the brim, or having to receive criticism from the higher ups whenever you completed a mission in a way that they didn't approve of, but you had your girlfriend by your side, and that made everything so much better.
You don't have to say much when you step into your girlfriend's room after a bad day. You'll find Maki on her bed, having already showered a while ago, or sitting in front of her desk, trying to finish an assignment due soon. No matter what she's doing, she's always ready to embrace you and comfort you after a long and tiring day.
The two of you often take the time to shower together before snuggling in bed, holding each other tight. She holds you close to her heart, letting you hear her heartbeat. It was calming, knowing that she was there, right next to you, holding you. You would snuggle into her chest as she strokes your hair gently, allowing you to relax. No words are exchanged, but even so, you feel so assured and safe. She waits for you to speak, waiting for however long, not wanting to press you for information on what was troubling you.
When you eventually open up to her about how bad your day was, she listens quietly before pressing a kiss to the top of your head once you had finished telling her all about it. She cups your face in her hands, and looks into your eyes, telling you about how proud she is, and about how amazing you are. Because more than anything, Maki wants to let you know that you're the number one, the very best in her heart, and even if the day somehow doesn't go your way, she'll be there for you, supporting and rooting for you no matter what.
~♡~♡~♡~
Your girlfriend was no stranger to having bad days either. Days that the higher ups reminded her of how the Zenin clan used to treat her, days that she exhausted herself both physically and mentally with classes, training and missions the whole day. She might not be as expressive as you were about having a bad day, but you've been with her long enough to pick up on the small signs that you need to comfort her.
When Maki has a bad day, you'll drop whatever you were doing just to make sure she's ok. Making sure that she's hydrated, that she has eaten, and more importantly, making sure that you give her the cuddles and reassurance she deserves. Regardless of how busy you are with schoolwork, you always make sure to prioritise your girlfriend whenever she's just not feeling great because of what had happened throughout the day.
You pull her onto your lap after settling onto the bed or the small couch in your room, and let her just close her eyes for a moment. If she falls asleep, it's all well and good. And if she doesn't, you'll wait. You'll wait for as long as it takes for her to open her eyes again, moving to slowly adjust herself to sit on your lap and look at you, before telling you what had happened. You have to admit that it's tough for her, her past still haunting her in the back of her mind as she tries to move on. Going through events that trigger all those bad memories again.
You know you can't do much, that you can't erase those memories from her mind, so you just hold her close. You tell her that she's doing really well, affirming and praising her for being so strong. You wrap your arms around her tighter, hoping that your actions are enough to make her feel better again.
~♡~♡~♡~
Of course, having bad days together was far from uncommon. Considering that the both of you were both second years, you both had the same workload in terms of schoolwork. Both of you were assigned rather tough missions ever since you became second years too, which didn't help with the already stressful circumstances you were in.
Often, the two of you would find yourselves clinging onto each other, not wanting to move at all, after both of you have had a stressful and agonising day. The warmth from each other's bodies were so comforting and just made the both of you feel better. The whole time, none of you spoke, and waited for the other person to talk about their day. But most of the time, you two just spend that time in silence, since you could both guess how the other's day went.
Maki would let you sit on her lap in times like this, and she would stroke your back slowly as a way to help you feel more at ease. You play with Maki's hair at the same time, running your fingers through her soft and smooth hair, untangling any tangles in it as gently as you could. The two of you would usually do that until one of you starts to talk, while the other listens and tries to make them feel more relaxed.
Bad days are plenty, especially when you're both a Jujutsu sorcerer and student at the same time. The world sometimes just isn't on your side, and the day ends on a bitter note. Well, it would if you didn't have your girlfriend to make it all hurt less, to make the day end off just fine, despite all the stress and anxiety you've experienced throughout the day.
Your girlfriend understood you like no other, and vice versa. That's why the two of you would be fine, as long as you were together. Through rain or shine, good or bad, you had each other. And it was just fine that way.
Tumblr media
I love Maki so so much ahhhh and I really love writing for her!!! I'm honestly quite pleased at how this one turned out and I hope you enjoyed reading!

brave
I was always a step behind you, but let me take another to be with you.
Tumblr media
word count : 1.2k words
genre : fluff, slight angst; yizhuo being the greatest gift in your life but you're not sure whether she feels the same; gn!reader
tw : profanities (a few)
status : one-shot; pt 2/2; part 1
a/n : may everyone be brave for their love :3 enjoy !!
Tumblr media
"ayo, what's up?"
you were chilling and doing your assignment at one of the study areas before someone took the seat in front of you.
"assignments as usual, what answer did you anticipate from a college student?"
"the sky?"
your dear friend's response had you whip your head up from your papers to give her a 'done' look.
"what? you're welcome for letting you experience my humor."
"another day of reminding me that you and yizhuo are besties for a reason."
chuckling as you heard yizhuo's voice in your head, the girl in front of you begged to differ.
"hey, that lil shit better show herself soon cause she stole my bag of chips yesterday."
"as far as I know, your lil shit is still in class and she'll be here in some time."
noticing the slight change in minjeong's eyes, you can only pray for yizhuo's soul since the girl is serious about her food. and you were right with how she was willing to wait here for her victim to show up.
"but one thing."
minjeong caught your attention, giving her your fullest.
"what does ning mean to you?"
"…"
you couldn't speak, more like you didn't know what to speak. it's been a while since you realized you saw yizhuo as more than a friend. however, what the person you liked felt was unknown to you.
"I know you really do like her, but keeping it to yourself really isn't gonna do good for both of you."
you'd continue hurting yourself, and she'd continue to stay single and be available to everyone out there."
not knowing how the conversation came to this point (simply forgetting that you two talked about this a few days ago), you could only close your eyes and imagine the worst scenarios possible if you do confess your feelings.
you won't lie, you were afraid of what the confession would do. the consequences you have to bear for your actions and the consequences you made yizhuo bear with your actions. you were so sure that she would reject you, not even letting yourself breathe in the slight hope there is.
she has so many people around her, being the social butterfly she is. she's lovable, responsible, caring and every nice adjective out there that can describe how amazing she is. yizhuo was so amazing, you felt you didn't deserve her. as your girlfriend, as yours.
"let me ask you. what do you think is gonna hurt more? a love not returned or a love left untold?"
it was like minjeong smacked you behind your head, she gave you your answer as you were too blinded with all the fixed possibilities you think would turn out to be facts. if you don't tell her how you feel, will you ever know that she would return them?
"thanks minjeong, and I need to borrow your bestie for the time being."
and you ran off, ran to yizhuo's class as it had just ended. you needed to get her, the sooner the better because your heart was beating too fast, from both the running and the confession you were about to do.
from afar, you could see her figure walking towards your direction when you made the turn. she didn't expect for you to come all the way to her class as it was quite a distance from where you were at.
"what are you doing here?"
"I have something to say, but can we go somewhere else?"
dragging her along by her wrist, you didn't give her time to process everything that was happening. when you found yourselves at the campus garden, you stopped to look at her eyes, taking in the galaxy you swore could have you staring at them for hours.
silence engulfed the air around you two, soft ambience of the wind accompanying it. yizhuo felt slightly flustered from your heated gaze, the floor suddenly a lot more interesting than the person in front of her.
"ning yizhuo, my eyes are up here."
"what do you wanna tell me?"
"…"
you brought her up here but it was your turn to stay silent. before you said 'f*ck it' under your breath.
"I like you."
yizhuo's big doe eyes just widened even more when she heard those three words from your mouth.
"ever since that school festival back when we were 15, I fell for you when we were under the fireworks.
"actually, you know what. I don't like you, I love you."
"I love you, ning yizhuo."
the said girl froze in her spot like a statue. you couldn't read her mind, for once you actually couldn't see through what was behind that look on her face. but you did know that this was it. there was no turning back or taking back what you've said and you two could become strangers after this.
you didn't want to let you feelings just stay the way it was minutes ago. untold, unknown, unrequited. a chance was all you needed, it was there already since the day you fell for her. just that, you were too much of a coward to confess. and her too.
"I love you too."
that unreadable expression loosened to a relieved one, it was as if she had been waiting for you to say it.
"I'm sorry you had to be the brave one."
"wait, you like me also?"
"umm, more than that? I literally said I love you."
"hold up, let me process this."
"maybe this would help."
and before you knew it, something soft planted on your lips. ning yizhuo was kissing you. NING YIZHUO. KISSING. YOU. as if your unattended desires took over your body and mind, you returned it to her. deep and passionate, you poured whatever feelings that you had kept under her radar into that kiss.
although it was a public area on campus, none of you could care, not when the confession was overdue for years. pda was the last thing on your head as you pulled her waist against yours, feeling the intimacy burning you up.
it wasn't lust, but compassion for each other. you would love to do this all day but your cardio was on the ground as you leave her lips first. yizhuo was flushed and so were you.
"that was.. hot..."
"agreed..."
as you shared eye contact, it was as if you and her understood whatever that had been pressed deep down all this time. words weren't needed, and it amazed you.
"so, girlfriend?"
she raised her brow at you with the 'are you serious' face. well, you couldn't help but confirm it as this very moment feels like a dream that you don't wanna wake up from.
"are you slow or are you dumb? of course!"
an awkward laugh left your swollen lips from the kiss (or make out at this point). holding out your hand, yizhuo took it in hers as you two make it back to where you ran from and letting her know minjeong was waiting for her.
"is it because of the chips cause if it is, I'm out of here."
"chillax, if she does anything, you have me, don't you?"
"you've got a point. I guess we can go and see if my gal's still mad or not."
and again, the conversation went on as usual. knowing each other for so long, comfortable was the word for the relationship but the butterflies never died. for you as well as yizhuo.
the day where you could call ning yizhuo your girlfriend finally came, and it was because you were brave for your love.

As a medical student — and hopefully a future obstetrician, I am excited on your take on how babey will go on to labor and deliver her multiple baby BOYS (Yes, I believe Uncle Daddy Daemon made multiple copies of him 😆). Delivering multiples during the medieval times versus now is different, of course, but it will be the way on how you tell the story to us that excites me. I cannot wait!
On another news — DAMN RHAE-RHAE!
I do understand where she is coming from tho but she shouldn’t have come for her baby sister like that. The pressures of being the heir to the iron throne, having a gae bestie/husband who could not bear the sight of a cunt let alone put his ding-along on it, and now solo-ing on Ser Harwin’s massive cock (oh WE ALL KNOW it is massive) and giving birth to his strong, perfect boys instead of strong, perfect, silver haired boys does take a lot of toll on her especially with the green SNEKZ breathing down her neck. Seeing your little sister living the life you know you deserve will surely trigger a switch in you. But Rhae-Rhae should have thought better than that. Rhae-Rhae nooooo 😭
Babey’s decision on not telling her massive cocked-super handsome-very brooding Uncle Daddy is a better decision than Rhae-Rhae letting all that intrusive thoughts consume her 😆
As usual, this update was AMAZING, Em! Babey’s babies about to get familiar with how their papa’s dick is always knocking on their mama’s cervix. Oh, poor children 😆
Hey, anon! AAAAH, I'm super nervous to know there's someone with an actual medical background in obstetrics reading this fic, aaaaaaaaaaaaah. A good deal of this fic has been me scrambling for research crumbs in the background as I try to build something that's reasonably accurate while not forsaking style or pacing. I'm doing what I can, so PLZ FORGIVE MEEEE if I fuck anything up, lol. I do have plans re: the labour, born from watching one too many episodes of BBC's 'Call the Midwife' (a great fucking show). It's not gonna be a smooth going, that's for sure - there will be some, um, parallels to mummy, if we can put it that way. All will be well in the end!
Rhae-Rhae done fucked up this chapter, I know. She's a Targ, unfortunately for literally everyone around her; aka, not the best at dealing constructively with emotionz. When Babey pushed at that pressure point, she fucking exploded, and it was awful. I was sad for both of them writing it, it felt so horrible and nastey to do to them, but it was necessary. Rhaenyra's been a little too okay with everything from day dot, and a blow-up was coming. Oof, I cackled at the massive-dick descriptions, VERY ACCURATE and we all know it. Babey's thinking like a big girl this chapter, and we're proud as shit for her for that! She recognises the political ramifications of a public split from her sister, and doesn't want the wolves to come for her family as a result. She'll keep it as quiet as she can, which means finding ways to distract (hehe) her big-dick Daddy Daemon when he sniffs around all suspicious.
Lol, snorted at that last comment - true! Hope the smol ones like the sounds of rhythmic slapping, cuz that's their lullaby for the foreseeable future, haha. I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter, nonnie! Thank you so SO much!
(P.S. - any tips you can give me on how to make dis bitch realistic would be SWAG AS SHIT lol, dying over here.)

I can't believe she improvised that line, that's amazing. It was actually that line that made me think she was kind of saying "I'm here for you no matter what our relationship is." But if someone thought she was saying, "I don't care if you're attracted to men, we can still be together" I would understand that too, I just don't think it's that simple. He opened up to her which was something she wanted since they got together but I think she's still hurt by what happened and what she wasn't aware of. I just don't get the vibe she's the type of gal to be like, it's all good now that you've admitted it. I never got the impression he was as into her as she was into him. I think he had a career boner for her more than anything else and wanted to save her when he saw her in need. She took that as romantic interest which I'm not convinced it was. I think if he does have genuine romantic feelings for her then he grew into them over the season. I'm more convinced that he loves her in a non-romantic way but in a very deep way nonetheless. I kind of love the idea of them building this best friendship that maybe gets messy with other feelings occassionally. The only time I was convinced Dale was sexually interested in her was halfway through the season or so when someone good happens (damn I can't remember exactly what) and they celebrate by tearing at each other's clothes. But once again, all their romantic and/or sexual encounters seem to be affected by a third party (usually Tim) or outside circumstances (celebrating a triumph).
I read that it was important to the showrunner that Dale's sexuality was ambiguous. He's not completely gay, maybe he's bisexual, maybe he's pansexual. Maybe he's just been attracted to two men in his life and that's it. He doesn't seem to be motivated by sex so maybe he's a bit demisexual. And this is an interesting choice but it doesn't change that he wants to jump Tim and their chemistry is electric. Am I wrong in thinking that it's not the same with Helen? I'll rewatch to make sure but I think I love Dale and Helen's relationship in a totally different way.
The other argument for this is do Sam and Chai just have better chemistry than Sam and Anna? Maybe? But all these actors are SO GOOD at what they do that I know Sam and Anna would have brought the chemistry if it was supposed to be there for Dale and Helen. Sam has great chemistry with so many people, he's mastered the longing heart eyes.
And if it's true that Dale just isn't as into Helen as he's into Tim then our girl deserves a better love interest. Which I'm so here for! Dale could have some weird jealousy despite not wanting to be with her and be worried for her fragile heart in the process. We could have this new guy be the one straight (maybe?) male on the show who isn't a homophobe.
Now I'm just thinking about Tim watching Dale with Helen at the desk in the finale and tearing up...you're telling me there isn't something intense between them?!? 😫😫
Also, Sam's real life girlfriend is gonna be in season 2 so that's kinda fun. But I hope they're not doing some more straight washing. And Daniel Gillies from The Vampire Diaries and The Originals who's an *incredible* actor and so freaking hot so now that I've gone off about Helen's new love interest it absolutely needs to be him.
I saw that she was going to be in it! I wonder who she'll be playing!! And I also saw that Daniel gillies was going to be in it and I can't wait for that either, I'm a big fan of his! You're so right, he would be a great love interest for Helen!
I totally agree with what you said and the chemistry between Helen and dale! They were really sweet at times but there really wasn't that same fire-y chemistry as between dale and Tim! They were always finding excuses to give each other little touches and stuff! That moment between dale and Tim in the bar after the explosions was just something else as well, dale was definitely about to jump Tim if Tim hadn't kissed him first haha! Whereas you never really had anything like that between dale and Helen. At least not to me!
I absolutely love the way you put that, a career boner for her 😂 and I agree as well, it would seem that more than anything else! As you said, at least at first and you can tell he does genuinely really care for her but yeah I also got the sense she's into him more than he's into her that way!
I also didn't really know where Helens head was at when she said to Dale she loved him no matter what, I just kind of took it as that she'll be there for him and she's going to support him no matter what eventually kind of comes out of it. Whether it is working on it to still be together or whether it's more as friends! But she most definitely deserves someone who thinks the world of her, not like half those assholes in their office!!
And that bit about tim looking at dale at the end, I honestly could go on about it forever haha. He always has the heart eyes when looking at dale tbf haha but that last look as dales finally on the desk is just something else, that boy is absolutely head over heels for him! I just hope dale can sort of take proper stock of how he's feeling and be able to give it back to him!
Yeah I think if dale and Helen were meant to have the same sort of chemistry as dale and Tim then they would have, because as you said they are all amazing actors!
I will have to see where I saw that line about anna torv improvising it incase I'm speaking out my arse but I think it was on one of the newsreader instagran accounts that they said because they hadn't been sure how to leave it between them and had been throwing round a few different bits!
I hadn't read that about the showrunner and leaving dales sexuality to be ambiguous! That's good, I kind of like when they don't completely define things like that, because it isn't always very straight forward and people can be all over the place with their sexuality (like me for example haha, completely over the place 😂)
OK, I think I covered everything there. Not in any sensible order mind so good luck with reading that 😂

Hi there petra! Im sorry if im sounding weird rn or smth i know we haven't interacted that much at all aside from that object show analysis server and ig i can say i had been admiring you from afar but i cant stop but being amazed with the work you have done specially when it comes to analyzing taco and microphone
Im somebody who is heavily invested into taco's character and her relationship with mic and your analysis and points of view gives me a better description of them and their relationship and it helped me a lot to understand it better
Which is also why i want to share you my thoughts abt her since i think you are one of the people who would hear me out
And is that,,,i just love this british woman alright? And i love telling people how SCREWED her mental health is because of the game, she is literally alone atm she has anybody she cant rely on, th3 only thing she can rely on right now is inanimate insanity because at the end of the day that show is the only thing she feels she has left on her miserable life which worsens her mental stability, she needs somebody to help her, somebody she can rely on, somebody who lends her a hand, somebody who loved and cared for her like mic did, somebody who can direct her to the right track
Because she is lost and disoriented in this world, and the only thing she can do is stick to her plan, because after all what else can she do? What else can she do after she lost the only person who took the time to actually understand her and didn't got inmediatly pushed away for her real self? And the only thing she feels she can do? Continue, continue with her plan,she cant do nothing more, because she already lost it all
Mic leaving her HURTED her and im 100% more than pickle, because mic understood her, mic cared for her, mic didn't inmediatly got pushed away by her true self, mic trusted her and had faith for her
And that's what hurts her the most, that the only one you could possibly rely on its now gone just like the rest of people around you
She is hurt and miserable again, but i feel the fact that mic leave was needed for her character to start growing, like you say millions of times she'll probably so one final mistake before breaking down but i feel mic leaving her was the first step for her to atleast for a second realizing how much she screwed things up
Taco is not only hurting the ones she cares for she is hurting herself as well in the process
And i think that's one of the most tragic things of her character, the isolation, the despair, the guilt, the regret
This girl desperatly NEEDS help,she NEEDS somebody to put her on her place, she NEEDS somebody who she can rely on and that puts her on an actual good track
She needs somebody to call her out and show her how much she is not only hurting the ones she loves but also how MUCH she is hurting herself
Taco is badly damaging herself and badly and she needs somebody to make her see that, she is blind, she is lonely, she just needs somebody to lend her a hand
And make her see
All the crap that she had done
And how much the entire show is affecting her
And depsite all of the things i say i just CANT hate her, this girl is going through already many guilt for me to put more weights on her shoulders and despite all what she did i really want her to get the happy endibg she secretly awaits for.
[Side note:its so funny to me how microphone is like my highest ii kin and how much im invested into taco's character and how i cant hate her and i actually took my time to understand her just like mic did, this woman deserves a break and many hugs and im willing to give her that sbebeeh i just hope mic and taco can make the amends maybe taco getting her redemption arc apologizing to mic AND pickle, spending some time at the hotel, mic and her becoming friends again, and after that catching feelings for eachpther and everyone happy DJDHDH but srs tysm for making me understand even more taco and mic relationship i hope both sides of your pillow are cold tonight :] bye bye for now! Hope we can talk more abt mic and taco and their relstionship sometime soon and i hope you have a great day/afternoon/night goodbye again and see you later!]
oh i'm so sorry it took me a moment to get to this! what a delightful ask to get as i was coming back from the con!!
I think this is a really apt read of her, for sure! I absolutely agree she needs that sort of influence/reinforcement in her life right now. I think she's burning a lot of bridges in a sort of wild, desperate attempt to make it so this wasn't for nothing- she wants the prize, because i think, at this point, she worries that if she doesn't get it, she will have hurt all these people for no reason. She lost Pickle and Mic for no reason. And i think that's something really scary for her, this loss of control and the idea that she really DOESN'T know what she's doing and it WASN'T worth it.
Taco is a very complex character, and i adore her dearly. She's definitely one of my all-time favorite characters, so i'm super glad to hear you like my read of her!!!! :']
sidenote: you never have to apologize for sending me character analysis rambles! i always enjoy it :D

infodumping about my grey's anatomy blorbos: edition #2
this time around i am midway thru season 10.... my #1 blorbo is about to leave and im worried and scared because of some spoilers i read. but anyways here is my current analysis!
BLORBOS
- meredith grey. we started off rocky but i love and support her wholeheartedly now. has done the least stupid stuff as a doctor! bonus points for that. has gone through so much more than she deserves.
- derek shepherd. has done a lot of stupid shit and is a very stupid and reckless man. but underneath all of that he is a good man who wants to do good and help people. an amazing father!!!! and husband.
- cristina yang. the closest to perfect. i wish she would stop making awful relationship decisions. in my world she is happily married to a woman. a nurse, maybe.
- george o'malley. my perfect perfect son. ohhhhh my son. i am so sorry you died. i wish you had gotten to be happy with callie and have a great little family together and be an amazing surgeon.
- callie torres. brilliant surgeon brilliant woman. a little stupid at times. but i think her strengths are all way stronger than that.
- mark sloan. also very stupid! but in a very charming way. was amazing to watch him grow and change.
- lexie grey. deserved a better exit from the show wtffff. got used as an extra trauma to throw at meredith or something like damn. she was amazing and excellent in her own right. justice for lexiepedia.
- april kepner. BABYYYYYY. amazing and deserves the world, honestly. i have nothing but admiration for her i think.
- heather brooks. AAAAAAGH?!!!!! she was so cute and fun and brought an energy to the show nobody else has! deserved soooo much better.
HALF BLORBOS.
- alex karev. has done too many messy and problematic things to be a full blorbo but like derek he is ultimately a good man who wants to do good. amazing peds surgeon. can't wait to see him as a dad i bet he'll be a little league coach.
- miranda bailey. now normally she would be full blorbo but she's been bothering me a little lately! amazing surgeon! amazing woman! but she needs to get her life more under control or something.
BLORBO BY ASSOCIATION
- jackson avery. i was gonna put him in "it won't work" but it could eventually idk. he's great for april and a good doctor! i don't like his face tho and mostly he kinda bores me
- reed adamson. i think i would have loved her so much if she got to live longer. i think about her and april a lot.
PARTIAL BLORBOS
- addison montgomery. i think i just don't see her enough to be a full blorbo. excellent character tho.
- teddy altman. i think when she comes back on the show she'll get an upgrade but right now she's away and not on my mind. she was pretty damn good tho.
- stephanie edwards. she's really great but right now her plot is kind of just avery. i hope to love her more soon!
EX BLORBOS.
- izzie stevens. used to be my favorite.... she was so great. honestly i blame cancer for everything. Except the denny lvad thing i think that was precancer. but the romance with george that she dropped so fast? and then doing all that crap to alex? unforgivable. i hope she finds happiness in a new life with new people but i want her far away from my blorbos.
IT WILL NEVER WORK BUT I DON'T HATE YOU
- owen hunt. i DO hate his pro-life stance. treated cristina awfully there. but he is also the best love interest she had. and he's a great trauma surgeon, and the best chief i have seen! we just have too many differences to ever truly blorb together.
- arizona robbins. Honestly? most of the time i Do hate her. but i also respect her too much to Anti her. especially her growth after losing her leg! but it fucking sucked for callie. i think if the show had kept mark alive i could have gotten along with her more but she has been awful to callie way too much.
- leah murphy. Mad respect for her crazy but her emotions are also what ruined her. i hope she has a good career elsewhere.
- ben warren. sometimes he's good for bailey sometimes he makes her worse. but i respect him.
I DON'T KNOW
- jo wilson. uhhhh..... she just kinda exists i don't know. sometimes she's good for alex. but i am not very interested in her. does not spark joy.
- charles percy. i think we would have had a very rocky relationship had he lived but i think the way they killed him was very artful? it was one of the best death scenes i have seen.
ANTI BLORBOS.
- richard webber. he has done too much fuckass shit and acted insufferably FAR too many times. way more tolerable as a general surgeon and not as chief but still incredibly irritating.
- preston burke. took advantage of cristina in so many ways and never once truly considered himself and his own actions. selfish, awful man.
- erica hahn. Too bitter. involved emotions in her work in a way i disliked? i think she was never meant to be a main character.
- shane ross. Bruh what the fuckkkkk. he has done way too much wrong. maybe someday if we actually tackle the fact that he kinda Killed heather we can be at least partial or something but ..... i don't want him on this show.
- ellis grey. Noooooope. don't even care about all her groundbreaking work or her disease or whatever. i want nothing to do with her.
- adele webber. i hated her so much and there was no reason to make her so evil and irritating so much??????? the show would have been way more interesting and webber might have been more redeemable if she had been Good.
- sloan riley. this girl pissed me offffff like she went thru it she was having a bad time but ultimately she just ruined shit for mark and lexie and that sucks.
- catherine avery. whenever shes around and is rude to jackson he becomes a temporary blorbo. he doesn't deserve the shit she puts him through. frustrating character overall. But! mad respect to her work as a urologist she always brings interesting cases to the show!

I'm gonna tell you all now, what I'm going to be talking about in this post may be triggering to some, in regards to death.
In case you guys didn't know (and most of you shouldn't, I've never talked about this here), I have a dog. Her name is Jazzy, and she's the sweetest thing you've ever seen, an absolute angel.
My family and I have had her since I was a toddler, and she's supposed to turn 14 this year, so she's done really well. But unfortunately, all things must come to an end.
About a year ago, she got a strange lump on her leg. My sister and I have brought it up to my mother several times, but she decided that so long as she wasn't in pain or anything we would leave her be. Over the course of the year it's gotten bigger, but hasn't stopped her from living life to the fullest.
But she has been getting a bit worse. It was barely noticeable, but she was getting more and more tired. It was normal, we told ourselves, she's just getting old.
Last week, her hind legs weakened considerably in a short amount of time. She can't climb the steps anymore, she can't run, and she's just plain miserable. Even standing is a struggle.
My mother made a very difficult decision, and it's one I'm barely coming to terms with, days after she announced it originally.
Jazzy will be getting put down, at the end of next week. It's a very difficult time, and part of me blames myself for letting this happen, for not pushing when we first saw signs. But, now more than ever, I have to leave emotions out of it and remind myself of the facts.
We would never be able to afford the vet bills, no matter how early on we caught anything. Even the euthanization will be $200. We can't afford to get all these surgeries and treatments for an old dog who only has a glimmer of hope getting through this, medical help or not. This will put her suffering to an end, and she'll be in a better place, somewhere she deserves to be.
You all are such amazing people, and I hope you live long, prosperous, healthy lives. I'm losing the strength to carry on myself, but there are people here who need me. I have to stay, for them. The same applies for you. You have loved ones who need you to be alive, with them. People who are willing to listen if you speak. People who don't care if you're kooky, spooky, or just plain weird.
So keep living. If not for yourself, for them.

So about two years ago, my partner left me. For my best friend at the time. It sucked.
The night before I'd been looking at rings. We'd been talking so much about our future. I didn't have any luck, so I set my phone down and called it a night.
The next day she came back from a trip to hang out with him that I couldn't make it to. She tells me that she's realised she's not actually in love with me anymore. She still loves me, and cares for me. But she's not *in love*.
And it was a really hard time for me. We were gonna spend our lives together.
But time moves on, and within the month I realised, she was right. I loved her, yes, and I still do. But we weren't *in love*.
So we kept in touch. We talk online, we meet up when life allows, and our friendship has been stronger these two years than it was the last year of our relationship.
But life's hard. And while she's graduated, moved on, got a job with colleagues she gets on with, opened up some amazing opportunities... My depression has gotten worse and worse.
I can't leave the house. I can barely leave my room. I sit all day waiting for one of my few friends to come online, and hope that they don't have plans. That they might have time for me, and I won't have to be alone.
I've been passed from service to service, none of them actually helping, all of them having the perfect excuse to prove I'm not *their* problem. So every day I take my pills and wait for the next appointment to be told who I'll have to call next time.
Well. After being left in the dark for 2 years, I got an autism assessment, that I only needed to wait 4 months for the results of. Only to be told I'm not autistic enough for them to give a shit about. That's all well and good, but I'm still chronically suicidal, and the toxic mix of guilt and whiskey only holds that off for so long.
So they send me back to the group that referred me for that assessment, over two years ago, during which time they refused to aide me with my depression.
And what have they been told?
"this patient no longer requires mental health services"
Right, yea, tell that to the bottles on my bedside.
So I broke. I screamed, and I yelled, at some poor psychiatrist who had never met me before, because the two prior case workers is been assigned to had both left by the time they couldn't get rid of me any more.
And her answer is that maybe I need sedatives for when I get like this.
And I go home, and I feel numb. I feel empty. I feel like there isn't a bottle deep enough to down this in. And I get a text. From my dear friend, Ex. She wants to be the one to tell me, there's a good chance she'll be engaged by Christmas.
I want to be happy for her. She deserves that. But her life has moved on while mine has festered. Every attempt I've made to improve has just dug the pit deeper, and now she's getting engaged, and that was going to be *me*.
It shouldn't have been me. We weren't right. But I can't help feel that bitterness at life, at god, that after 2 years of spiralling, I get fucked over by psychologists *again*, as well as being reminded that same night just how fucking far I've fallen.
I don't think this gets better. I think this hole has been dug so deep that now it's just my grave. Now I need to wait and see if the next service drops me a ladder, or just shovels in the first mound of dirt.

Security Breach as your s/o's HCs
I'm not joking, Freddy, Roxy, Sun/moon, and monty had no business being attractive.
I mostly made this bc my energy is low today- and headcanons require less of me than one-shots :)
I don't do Vanessa bc I'm unsure how to write anything for Vanessa! Chica's wasn't that long im sorry- i kinda spent all day trying to write her in a way that isn't too ooc-
some of these are shorter bc I suck at conveying their personality
also not me listening to SL songs and 'mama hates you' while writing something wholesome-
the reader is gender-neutral :)
anyways I hope these HCs are to someone's liking!!
Glamrock Freddy
Dating Freddy just includes him greeting you with a bear hug every time you come to his room.
he loves spending time snuggling with you <3
he calls you superstar but it's a lot more soft and loving with you than it is with the kids!
protective dilf papa bear mode? on
He doesn't get jealous per se but he will tell off people who are disrespectful to you, he will not tolerate his s/o being uncomfy in their workspace
although if an adult or a kid starts acting nasty Freddy will not hesitate to warn the parents about the behavior or notify the staff that there is a problem and someone is just acting plain mean in a kid-friendly diner.
although he did make sure all the animatronics had you on their face recognition systems' so, they know not to attack you
he loves watching you play with the kids' Freddy will just stand there and watch with a silly grin on his face
if you let him, he'd love to style your hair!!
Freddy wouldn't hesitate to force you, to get a good night's to rest
there is no point in refusing, he'll carry you to his dressing room and cuddle you
he doesn't do PDA that much, mostly. hand-holding but kisses are reserved for after-hours in his room.
you don't do much PDA in public, and when you do it often goes unnoticed but in his room,
he is very affectionate in private, but I guess there's a reason Freddy is a bear.
Montgomery Gator
Dating Monty is fun!! you always have cuddle sessions or mini-golf dates
he'll teach you the ways of mini-golf if you don't know how to play
if you do he'll compete with you!
he is so touchy omg-
Monty is somehow always touching you in some way, shape, or form. Whether it's his arm around your waist or on your hip, or if he's holding your hand, giving a hug,
or slapping your ass-
HE IS ALSO VERY FLIRTY OMG
Monty will approach you, sliding his sunglasses down, and proceed to flirt with you
although Monty will not do anything remotely affectionate in front of children, he wants to but simply won't do it.
he will literally fight for you
Monty is a very protective alligator
a very angry one too
he will not hesitate to threaten about what horrid things he's going to do them and how he's going to do towards anyone who hurts his s/o
You're literally the only one that can prevent him from ending a son of bitch's life.
sometimes he feels like a replacement for bonnie and wonders he truly deserves an amazing person like you, especially in case bonnie was a better performer than him
pls comfort him and reassure him
Monty gave you a small monty plushie so you're never without him
Monty likes cuddling you, which is usually cuddling the plushie, bc he insists on it.
Roxanne Wolf
dating Roxy would include her styling your hair, no matter what length or what gender you are she'll certainly find cute hair clips that suit you
lowkey a tsundere
Roxanne claims, she hates affection coming but it's obvious that it's a lie.
she'll teach you how to play the keyboard!!
her hair is actually soft! it isn't metal so she'd love it if you combed it sometimes! or even tried styling it.
she loves forcing you to play dress-up with her
just that Roxanne has an immaculate sense of fashion!!
she always walks you to the entrance, Roxanne is secretly worried that one day she doesn't walk with you. something will happen to you
When Roxanne feels insecure, she needs someone to set her head straight! pls, tell her she's loved and pretty.
she's very protective in ways she kinda treats you like her mate
she lowkey growls when a staff member is getting too close to her s/o!
she has the protective instinct of a wolf! so she'll literally pounce on anyone posing a threat to her s/o!
pls, stop her or they might have more than rips in their clothes-
Sunrise
dating sun is fun!! there's never a dull moment with him
he loves watching you in the daycare playing with the children,
lots of kisses n' cuddles although you eventually don't remember who's been initiating.
he'll warn you not to turn off the lights, and if you step closer to the light switch he'll panic and be frantic. he doesn't want you to get hurt! he might be upset for the day bc of it. pls, refrain from doing things that'll worry him!
Sun eventually starts trusting you a lot at tells you the reasoning why the lights always have to be on.
Sun trusts people very quickly but for him to talk about moon is a whole another level of trust!
he'd love to dance with you in the daycare! he'd be very giggly
Sun pick you up and skip around the daycare if you'll let him.
he will also lowkey chase you in the daycare and tackle you to the ground, and give you snuggles!
if you get tired he'll let you sleep on him until the shift is over.
Sun can't exactly have any romantic dates, not like a romantic dinner or a movie date. but he'll cuddle you in the daycare
Sun will not do anything too intimate in front of children
he'll at most, hold your hand but affection is mostly reserved for after-hours when it's just the two of you.
if you are insecure for one moment, I kid you not Sun will carry you and run around the daycare until you start laughing.
if one of the kids is being disrespectful, he'll be stern and tell them clearly to apologize and put them in time-out.
however, if it's an older kid or an adult he will simply alert security that someone needs to be escorted out
he wants you to be as comfy as possible
Sun calls you sunshine and darling okay?
Moondrop
Moon is a lot less energetic than Sun is.
he will carry you around but Moon will walk calmly and not run and skip around the place
he likes cuddling with you
a tsundere but he's more of a tsundere than Roxy is-
he talks about how gross affection is yet, he craves it so much
Moon likes scaring you okay? he will sneak up on you, and tell you to hide
you've scolded him before but he just finds it funny how scared you are when you know it's him.
tho he's only allowed to scare you-
ngl he's protective, I'd say borderline possessive
he hates it that ppl who don't deserve you get to speak to you more than he does
it makes him restless
he'll lowkey try to steal you away when only talking to Vanessa
during naptime for the kids' he lets you sleep on his shoulder, telling you it's time for naptime
Moon lowkey threatens that you have to take care of yourself.
omg, he loves squishing your cheeks, Moon often does it when he wants to prove a point.
Moon: take care of urself *squishes cheeks*
- he likes sitting with you with a hand on your thigh, he just does
Glamrock Chica
Chica is responsible, I get that vibe from her that dating her includes Chica being stressed and making sure her s/o doesn't do something they'll regret
Chica loves cuddling and hugging you just not for hours at a time.
Chica will try to give you expired food for a date but, you brought your own food enough for the both of you!
she always loves the food that you make, despite the fact that she doesn't really need it.
she often gives you compliments
Chica will teach you how to play the guitar with her!! <3
like Roxy, she has good taste in fashion and Chica would love for you to let her do something to your hair or dress you up!
she's the big spoon
she always walks you to the entrance and tries to make up excuses to keep you in the pizza plex a little longer<3

your characterization and portrayal of college au choso is just so amazing. i went back to read it for like the 40th time today and i swear it only gets better every time! of course there’s a theme of ‘lack of direction and knowing’ in each one of the stories, but choso’s just hits so close for me and im not even sure why.
anyways, i admire and adore your writing so much! i hope choso makes a comeback at some point :] perhaps more insight into his and reader’s relationship
thank you so much, i love that college au choso has a fan, he has a special place in my heart, he's like that B-side character who's storyline is just as or more interesting than the main plot. the college au wouldn't be anything without choso, he's the voice of reason among the chaos but still as bloody and capable of making as many mistakes as gojo or geto does. in comparison, how he loves is so tender and gentle and naive. dealer choso is all trembling fingers and blushing cheeks, his hands are adorned with scars and cuts and all the beautiful, cold metal rings, yet when he touches the love of his life he does it with so much caution like she'll break, he looks to her like a solace, like a lighthouse, like she's home.
i feel so much for him because he just wants a normal relationship knowing he can never have it. he wants a life outside of all the violence and the deals and watching his back every second of his life. and the best part is he tries despite it all, he'd do anything to give her that, to be the man she deserves. takes her on dates and cleans up real good, wears a suit, buys her flowers, kisses her only when she's ready for it, when she asks first. choso provides for everyone, gives and gives. it's on their third date when they're sitting in a diner that he places fresh stacks in front of her, "they're for your textbooks and shit", he says it like it's normal to just give your girlfriend ten thousand dollars in cash.
he drives a car that doesn't have bullet holes in the side or broken shards all over the seats and he keeps her close to him at all times. even when she doesn't notice it at first, pulls her closer when they're crossing a street, only gives her drinks he's poured himself, doesn't ever step foot into her house, into her neighbourhood because people will know and he can't risk it.
it's not becuase she can't handle her own, knows he's just being protective. the way he eyes every man in a room with his dark eyes, this air of intimidation flowing from him, he sends chills down everyone's spine and they believe him to be so frightening, so scary, "i bet he's a beast in bed," they say, but are so unware that choso keens and begs when he's inside her, cries into the crook of her neck and gets all whimpery when she squeezes down on him. "please, please, please," licking and biting at her flesh, thrusts sloppy and precisely hitting every spot inside, his heart feels so full, burning, he's thankful. this girl who's all about the big life, the big dreams, skyscrapers, and a bustling city. where he's always been living in the shadows, she might have just passed him by, never would have spoken to him if it weren't for bumping into him at that convenience store.

So what happened yesterday is that I posted a rant about fatphobia in radical feminist spaces. And today I woke up finding some notes, some I had already seen yesterday but I didn't bother to reply, which I deeply regret.
Yes because I would like to offer a shoutout to that one single person who reblogged it with a series of tags that proved the point, but sadly some hours later she changed her mind and erased the tags, thus forbidding me to offer her the attention she clearly deserved. I managed to take one look at them and they were along the lines of "you're a lazy and not feminist dipshit", so luckily the concept of such a profound insight has not gotten entirely lost, even if the poetics of the wording has. Food for thought, my ladies, food for thought!
However, another reply I managed to save:
@september-morning-butch I hope you don't mind me making another post to reply to your insight, which I indeed found fascinating.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
See... I find it fascinating that you automatically assumed I never once in my life spoke to a sporty person.
I was a sporty person. Some posts earlier I wrote about the sports I've tried and sometimes kept on doing for years, and since I am human and I live in a society, I also have had interaction with fitness enthusiasts, coaches and casual sporty human beings. Most of my friends hit the gym on the regular or practice some other kind of physical activity. When I have spare time I, too, do so.
Maybe I should have asked more expert sporty people. Like this man, for instance. Or this woman. Or, why not, this guy. The list goes on, and on, and on: maybe not every sport enthusiast will tell me the same things.
I find it also fascinating that you assume I do not know the criteria for a diet to be actually working. Do you by any chance think that fat people do not ever try to go on diets, or that I, personally, did never try? Because I did.
And now I will share with you what usually happens when Average Jane, who just needs to keep off those 10 kilos and then she's fine, goes on a diet-and-gym-new-lifestyle:
Average Jane decides to go to a nutritionist, who will (usually) tell her to cut all processed foods, all sugars and most carbs and invest on proteins. She then will subscribe to the gym and receive her personalized (which is usually just a standard one but let's not become too pedantic) programme. She starts the next day, full of good intentions. At first she's enthusiastic: she's finally losing those ugly ugly fat rolls! She will be in shape! Her lifestyle will be healthy and good, no more food guilt! Then, usually after a month or two, she starts noticing that the weight loss is slowing down and she's stabilizing somewhere that's not her ideal weight. Let's say she wants to weigh 50 kilos: she weighs 55 and can't seem to go under. At the same time, gym is getting increasingly tiring and she's starting to crave sugar and carbs, she dreams of full plates at night, every waking moment is spent in food obsessing. At some point she'll either understand that she needs to restrict more, and then more, and then more, in order to keep those rolls off herself, and I don't know how to tell you that this is usually called an eating disorder, or she'll give up and order takeaway one evening, gulp it down, immediately feel better, and in a year she'll have all of her previous fat back on, plus some more in most cases. Two months after she decides that after all it wasn't that bad, and goes back to the nutritionist and to the gym and the cycle restarts. This is called yo-yo dieting and it's far, far more dangerous for health than just staying fat and eating balanced meals.
Now, am I being catastrophic? A little. But I'm not making this up, I'm paraphrasing words from at least one trainer who bragged about her own weight loss journey and how she had spent the last few years never enjoying a social gathering because she cannot deviate from her diet in any way. Not so different from what you told me, but she was totally bragging about... being miserable during celebrations. How is this in any way good for her?
Does this mean "go get stuffed on McDonald's"? Absolutely not. Following a healthy lifestyle and a good diet and exercise regimen is essential! And it's true that sometimes lifestyle changes can and will do wonders for your body! You could cut off McDonald's for anticapitalistic/antispecistic reasons and realize you're losing weight, and that's amazing! However, that's not how most people work and I don't know how to tell you that being constantly hungry because "that's my new lifestyle and I need to keep the weight down" is not healthy in the slightest!
You were unlucky, living with an ugly disorder that requires loads of attention. I understand this and I fully see where you're coming from. Making eating choices that are good for our health sometimes is a hard path that requires willpower, and I am not saying that it doesn't do wonders and that your life quality doesn't improve a lot when you manage it.
But framing the "not working-ness" of dieting as a matter of willpower and basically saying that the only reason they don't is that fat people are not enthusiastic enough about their health... is again re-framing that you think fatness=laziness and moral failure.
So thank you for expressing your point of view in an articulated way instead of just hurling insults, but my point still stands.

-> susato mikotoba
Susato is the kind of person who quickly falls in love with every thing about you. The second you sing for her, she becomes entranced with your voice.
It's so beautiful! There is something about it that is very angelic and soothing.
She loves that at random points during the day she can hear your melodic voice carrying throughout the house. It never fails to brighten her mood.
Music is something that she's always been a fan of because the sound of it is just beautiful. It's really no surprise that she swoons over your voice when she hears it.
If you ever want to practice she will gladly listen! She will close her eyes and have a small smile on her face as she is soothed by your voice.
Loves, loves, loves to compliment you! You deserve to know how amazingly pleasant she finds your singing. She'll tell you exactly how much she enjoys hearing you sing, and won't shy away from it.
I feel like she can sing to a certain degree, and she wants to get better! If you'd be willing to, she'd love to have you give her some lessons.

-> satoru hosonaga
i swear i didnt put him on this list just bc i love him and wanted to write for him
Satoru loves your voice! It's very charming and just radiates and elegance that he is infatuated with.
When he hears you start to sing throughout the day he will always smile and stop whatever he's doing to listen. His current case can wait, he has to indulge in your singing right now.
Just imagine him leaning back in his chair, eyes closed with a pleasant smile as he listens to you sing from his office.
Literally, he loves that you randomly start singing during the day. It is always a treat when he hears you sing some tune.
He falls more in love with you each time.
Always asks if you'll sing for him. How can he not?? Your singing is the best he's ever heard and nothing makes him feel more at ease than your singing.
Being an inspector is stressful! He's always undercover and risking his life. So at the end of the day he wants to just be in your company and listening to a nice song from you.
It is the perfect way to unwind in his eyes.

-> herlock sholmes
Another lover of everything about you, Herlock is entranced by your voice!
When he first hears you sing he's absolutely blown away. He will then proceed to ask you to sing more for him as he just stares at you in awe.
He now will claim that no one in the entire world can sing better than you. You are the best singer in the world and he only ever wants to listen to you sing.
Will brag about you to others too. "My partner has a voice like angels- it's the best in the world". And it goes on and on and on for hours.
Sometimes he'll pull out his violin and play a tune that you can sing to! It always brings a smile to his face to play and have you sing.
Likes it when you run your fingers through his hair and sing something after a long day. It always soothes him.
When he's working on a case and he hears you sing randomly it always boosts his focus and makes him think more clearly. Yes, you have that much of an effect on him.

Stay With Me (Pt. 05 of 09)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Daryl Dixon X Reader
Word count: 3 K
Summary: Daryl found you surrounded by the dead, stuck in the backseat of a car. You were wishing for death to take you away for quite a while now, but, as you slid back and forth into consciousness, there was only one thing keeping you alive. Him, the man with blue, worried eyes and kind voice. Your beaten up body was ready to give up, too wounded and broken to keep going. But this man, who went out of his way to save your life is the only thing in the world holding you up. And, because of him, you feel something you haven't felt in a very long time: hope. Wherever he's taking you, you want to get there, and not only to be buried. For what it feels like the very first time, you want to live. He takes you back to Alexandria, but even there, the nightmares and the terror from all the torture and pain you've been through keeps creeping closer, and Daryl, your hero, is the only one who can keep that all away.
Warnings: Mentions and description (not graphic) of past abuse; post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); some violence at the end of the story (a little bit graphic, but not so much); blood.

Touch
You're right back into the dark spot you were. If it wasn't for Carol, you'd be in bed all day, completely lost. She keeps you moving. She helps you shower, chattering even though you don't answer. She helps you get downstairs, allowing you to do something for lunch or dinner. Carol's patience is unbelievable. You wonder when she'll get tired of you too. When she'll leave, with rude words and no further explanation.
Being here without Daryl is weird. Unusual. You didn't know the exact place he occupied in your heart, but now it's pretty clear. But you don't know how it happened. You thought this constant necessity of being with him came from the situation. From the safety he provided. When he's next to you in bed, your head on his chest, you know he won't let anything hurt you. Not even the nightmares had that power anymore, the bad memories are just that. Memories. But now... Daryl is more than a hero to you. He's something else entirely. He's the only one you'll ever want to have this close. The only man you'll ever want to hug, to lean on, to hold next to you during the night.
But what's the use of such acknowledgment now? Daryl left. He literally ran from your touch, from you. And of course he did. You came into his life, a broken, vulnerable thing, needing him so desperately. Of course he'd only endure you for a while. Now, he's done with that and whatever you feel doesn't matter. It's over.
“(Y/N), honey?” Carol calls, coming to sit beside you on the couch. Judith left half an hour ago, but still, you didn't move. You just stood there, drowning in the new, stupid feelings you just found out. “Don't cry, sweetie.”
“It's been six days.” You whisper, a hand on your heart. “He left because of me. I-I pushed him into going who knows where.”
“Daryl didn't go because of you. He went because of himself.” Carol takes a deep breath, talking low. She's always scared you'll slide back into the walls you built around you, so she's always careful. “He's complicated. He's been raised to believe nobody wants or cares for him, or...” When her voice fades, you look up, meeting her eyes. “Or love him.”
This makes you giggle, humorlessly. “What? He's... He's amazing. He's kind and smart, and strong, and handsome, Daryl is... Daryl is honest. And noble. How can he think people won't care for him?” The words flow out, too fast, because it's absurd to hear Carol saying that. It sounds like a joke. “You can't expect me to believe Daryl doesn't see all that.”
Carol's lips break into a smile, you don't get why. “He doesn't.”
“Then I'll make him see.” The same moment the words come out, you remember that he left. That he rejected you. “Well, I...”
“You have feelings for him, don't you? This isn't just about him saving you. There's something else.”
Fixing the blanket around your shoulders, you don't even try to dry off the tears. There will be others to take their place. “It doesn't matter, he...” You've been rejected before. You've had a crush on guys who didn't like you back. But this... This actually hurts. Hurts more than the wounds that still mark your body. “Y-you didn't see it. It's like... He doesn't even want to touch me and when he comes back I'll make sure he won't have to keep helping me.” You're sobbing by the end of the sentence, your body shaking as you cry.
You know you'll be lost without him, never able to feel like that again. The sensation he brought you is unexplainable. Irreplaceable. No man will ever make you feel that way, but that's not his fault. Maybe it's yours. Maybe it's nobody's fault. Everything you know is that you won't let anyone get this close ever again.
“Alright, honey. It's alright.” Carol hugs you, holding you tight as you cry on her shoulder. “Trust me when I say Daryl has very strong feelings for you too. He's just not very good at showing it.”
“Don't.” You mutter. “You can't say these things just to make me feel better, I know he doesn't.”
“Listen, honey. Listen.” She pulls away, drying off some of your tears with her thumbs. “Daryl is scared of how he feels towards you. Believe me, I know him.” Refusing to believe her, to have any kind of hope, you shake your head no. “The reason why he's running from it is that he thinks you can do better. You're young, beautiful, and sweet. He doesn't think he deserves you.”
“Why would he think that? Is he stupid or something?” You manage to say in between sobs, hugging Carol again.
“He can be stupid sometimes, yes.” She rubbs your back. “He will be back and I'm sure you'll get this right. Both of you.”
You don't answer, you just stay there, crying.
More days go by, and you only know he's alright because Rick has a radio, and he talks to Michonne daily, so everyone knows they're both alright.
The only thing that keeps you moving is little Judith. You also got to meet some of the other kids, since Carol decided to bring them here to play with Judith. You love having them around, it makes you forget about things for a while. Carol even introduced you to Melanie, a pregnant woman, and she also starts hanging out at your house, making you her official babysitter. She got here a few months ago, already pregnant. She used to go scavenging before, and that's what she wants to do for this community when her child is born, and she trusts you to be with them while she's away. Knowing you might have something useful to do makes you feel better. Makes you feel like you have something to offer and being with the kids is amazing.
But, eventually, everything comes crashing down, mostly at night, when you lie down all alone, surrounded by darkness. You often dream of Daryl. He's back, with you, not pushing you away. But when the morning comes, his usual place in the bed is still empty.
As the sun sets, you have Judith on your lap, her head on your chest. She's calming down after crying for her father. It took a long time to make her settle down, and now you're trying to make her sleep a little. Rubbing her back, you keep singing the only lullaby you can come up with. “Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue. If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you. I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to–” You're cut short by the door being open. Terror creeps over as you look up, and the fear is replaced by a mix of so many feelings you can't even name.
Daryl stands there, his eyes locked on yours and despite the distance, you can see the amazing, breathtaking shade of blue that makes your heart beat faster. You hold onto Judith when she moves a little, but she soon settles down again. But your eyes are focused on Daryl, and as much as you want to look away, you can't. It's stronger than you.
“Y-you're alive.” You stutter, holding back the tears. It's been two weeks. Too long, it felt like endless months. “Are you hurt?”
“No.” He simply says. “I'll... Shower. ‘M covered with walker's blood.”
“Ok.” He finally moves, going upstairs and you can finally breathe.
Daryl is back. He's right here and everything you want is to jump in his arms. But you can't. He doesn't want to have anything to do with you. He's done with taking care of you. You have to keep a distance.
You're trying to calm down, focusing on humming the lullaby to keep Judith in her peaceful sleep, trying not to think about Daryl, up there, under the same roof. You try not to think about his arms, always so warm and gentle around you.
“(Y/N).” Carol gets your attention, and you see her coming downstairs, being followed by Daryl. “Let me take Judith to see her dad.”
“Sure.” You burst out, watching as she picks Judith up, careful not to wake her up. “And you two need to talk so I'll stay at Rick's for a while.” She says in a low voice, giving Daryl a look.
You're frozen as she moves to the door, not wanting to risk look at Daryl and burst into tears.
You wanted him back, of course you did, but now, you don't know what to do. You're too scared of your feelings, of what you might do.
“I-I'll head upstairs.” Grabbing the clutch Denise got you, you stumble to your feet.
“We need ta’ talk,” Daryl says, but you ignore him, struggling with the clutch in a way you never did before.
“No, we're-we're fine. I'm fine.” You succeed to climb the first step, but on the second one, you move the wounded leg before you move the clutch, and this added to the whole situation makes you lose your balance and crash down. Luckily, your weight falls on the good leg, but that doesn't mean your body won't complain. A groan leaves your lips, and you feel Daryl's arms pulling you.
“(Y/N), be–”
“Don't touch me!” It's useless now. You're crying, your heart is broken and you can't take it. You can't control it. “Y-you don't like it when I touch you so don't touch me!”
“What the hell makes ya think I don't like when ya touch me?!” Daryl suddenly yells, his voice matching yours. He seems to regret it though, his eyes softening. “What... Who told ya that?”
“I don't need anyone to tell me anything. I'm not stupid.” It comes out in between the sobs as you sit down on the steps, throwing the clutch away. “You don't need to take care of me anymore! I... I'll get better and you won't have to think about me anymore. I can deal with the pain, the fear the nightmares! I can! If you don't want me anymore it's fine!” You yell at the top of your lungs, not proud of the way you're breaking down. But what can you do? Your heart is broken.
“I ain't–”
“You don't have to go in a hell of a long run to be away from me! I can just find another house to live in and get the hell out of your way if that's what you want and I'm so damn sorry I need you so much, Daryl. I'm so damn sorry I like you, or-or–” You lose your train of thought, sobbing uncontrollably, looking at the floor because you can't bring yourself to face Daryl now.
“Ya got it all wrong.” He mutters, coming to sit on the stairs, but you move back, pushing yourself against the wall. If you get any closer to him, you'll fail. You'll hug and hold and kiss him.
“Stop it, Daryl! I know you're tired of me so j-just stay away if that's what you want.” The tears soak your face, and you have your eyes closed as if it could hide you from him.
“Ya got it all wrong. Ya shouldn't want ta’ touch me or be around me. Yer so... pretty n’ young n’ good, ya shouldn't want ta’ touch me or be around me. I don't deserve to be with someone like ya n’ yer stupid ta’ want to be around me.” He yells back, raising his voice above yours, but despite the hint of anger, you don't feel scared. But you do need time to take in what he's saying. What he means. “Yer too young. M’ jus’ an old, dirty redneck and I don't... I went out so ya could have some time ta’ get over this. Ta’ not want me close anymore.”
“What are you saying, you idiot.” You stutter, playing back everything he said. “You can't decide what I should or shouldn't want! You have to decide what you want and I'll decide what I want and if these two things come together, then we work from there.” You move a little, the sting on your leg making you uncomfortable. Taking a deep breath, you finally regain some control of yourself, but the tears just keep coming. “I just need to know i-if you don't want... If you don't want me. Me touching you, or hugging you because if that's what you want, it's ok, I'll... I'll stay away.” It hurts to tell him this, and you're terrified of what he'll say next. If that's what he wants... What are you going to do?
“I shouldn't–”
“This is not about what you should, it's about what you want!” You burst out, tired of the argument. You just need to know what is and what isn't, so you can decide what to do next. “You were gone for two goddamn weeks, killing walkers and being in constant danger so just tell me what you want.”
“I want ya.” It comes out like a grunt, too fast and low, and it makes you wonder if you got it right. Daryl looks down, his shaggy hair hiding his eyes. You don't understand why he's so... Scared. Why he thinks so low of himself when you can only see the good, the great man he is. The very best.
“T-then don't push me away. Just... Just stay.” Lowering you're voice until it's barely a whisper, you dry some tears away. “I-I mean, I know that going out there it's your thing, I didn't mean it as you gotta stay here, I just mean it like... With me, you know? Go on runs, but stay with me. D-don't leave me. Well, do leave if that's what you want but not because you think I shouldn't be around you.” It sounds confusing, and you hope he gets it because you don't think you can explain it better.
“M’ sorry.” He mumbles, and this time, when he sits beside you on the step, you allow yourself to hug him, too desperately, feeling more tears coming. “ ‘S alright, babygirl. M’ sorry.”
Without saying anything, you surrender into his embrace, thankful for having him back after so long. Not even the noise coming from the front door makes you pull away.
“I see you two got along,” Carol says, sounding relieved. “You should just be straight forward with each other. It'll save both of you a lot of trouble.” When you hear her coming closer, you raise your head just a little bit to look at her. “(Y/N), why don't you let me help you with showering. There's still sand on your hair. Then you and Daryl can lie down to rest.”
You don't want to let go of him yet, but Carol is right. “Sand?”
“I was with the kids on that playground and little Mike threw a handful of sand at Judith but he hit me instead.” You explain it, using the wall to help you up. But Daryl is quick to assist you.
“So yer takin’ care of the kids? And outside?”
“Well, Carol was with me the whole time and it was only half an hour or so.” You let him carry you upstairs, not saying anything about it. Walking is a lot easier now, but you appreciate the gesture. “But I'm like the babysitter now. I really like it.”
“Bet ya do. I heard ya singing for Lil’ Ass Kicker.”
Your cheeks start burning. You had no idea he was listening. “Yeah...” Daryl leaves you in the bathroom and Carol comes soon after.
Showering is less painful now since you can manage to stand up long enough to clean yourself. But washing your hair is still a challenge, and that's why Carol is here. As she washes the sand away, she tells you of her daughter Sofia. About how she got lost and how Daryl restlessly searched for her. And the sad ending of that story. Everyone at the end of the world has a sad story to tell.
Once you're free of the sand and dry, you put your clothes on. You can't find any of your lycra shorts, so you stick with the tank top and panties before going to bed. It's very cold tonight, so you grab another blanket before lying down. You're just about to wonder if Daryl will come when he opens the door, and a smile immediately spreads through your lips.
“Hi.” Trying not to sound too excited, you mutter. It's hard to keep your eyes open, sleep threatening to overcome you.
Daryl grunts something you don't understand, taking off his jacket and leaving it on the dresser. You already moved to the side, giving him space. He pulls the blankets away before lying down, and you giggle to see how he tries not to move the mattress too much. Once he's settled down, you turn on your side, facing away from him, getting comfortable. You wait for him to do the same, but he doesn't move. By the time you had him sleeping here, you know he sleeps on his side. Not like this, staring at the ceiling.
“Are you comfortable?” You ask, eyes already closed.
“Yeah.”
“Uhm...” Turning around just a little bit, you grab Daryl's arm, pulling it until he's on his side, letting his hand fall on your waist.
“The hell ya doin’?” He mutters.
“Just letting you I want you to hug me. So if you want it too... You can.”
Daryl stays motionless for a while until you feel as he fixes his position. You're glad he won't see your smile, the happiness spreading through your face. Getting the hint, you carefully push yourself back a little, closer to him. His hand brushes on your thigh, and he abruptly moves it away, startling you. Your heart sinks a little, wondering if he'll fall back into whatever he was before.
“What?” Your voice is weak, making it clear you're scared.
“What are ya wearing?”
Oh. You didn't think it would be an issue. “Underwear.” You whisper, shrugging your shoulders. “All my shorts are dirty so I didn't have anything else.”
“Ya shouldn't be dressed like that when ya have a man on yer bed.” The words come out too fast and a little confusing.
“Daryl, I feel completely fine being here with you. Even though I'm in panties.” Being honest, you decide to let your heart out. This will be easier if you just say things straight forward, as Carol said you should. “And...” Searching for his hand under the blankets, you slowly bring it to the top of your thigh. The sensation of his fingers on your skin is warm, despite his fingertips still being cold. “I want you to know that you can touch me. I don't mind.” You whisper, eyes closing to take in the feeling of his touch a little better. “Actually, you're... You're the only man I'll ever want to touch me.” Maybe it's the sleep, pushing these words out. Maybe it's the long time you had Daryl away, thinking he was done with you. You don't know. The words came out and there's no way to take them back. And you don't want to. It's the truth.
He doesn't say anything, he doesn't move. Not for a while. You're about to ask him to say something, anything, when you feel his hand moving. Slowly, very slowly, his thumb starts caressing your skin. It burns in a good way. His hand then slides down, gently, from the top of your thigh to your knee. You feel like he's testing it, not sure why. Maybe he thinks you'll just give up the idea, be suddenly disgusted by his touch. But that's so far from the truth.
“That's nice.” You decide to say, giving voice to what you're feeling, so he'll know.
“Huh.” He sounds like he doesn't believe you.
“It is.” To reassure him, you move even closer, until your back is pressed against his chest. “Believe me.”
“Alright then.” He removes his hand, but it comes to embrace your waist, his grip firm around you, holding you close to his body. “Go to sleep now, babygirl.”
“Good night, D.”

My Invincible Review
Tumblr media
Well, this is a little late, but hey, better late than never. My dad and I started watching this show when we were done with Falcon and Winter Soldier, and we wanted other shows to watch. I kept hearing good things about this show, and I have heard about the comic before. Once I watched the first episode, I was hooked, and I really want the second show to come out soon.
The story is about Mark Grayson, a sixteen-year-old boy who just started to develop his own superpowers. He is the son of Omni Man. Basically, this world's Superman, and as the series goes on, Mark learns that well, great power comes great responsibility, sorry not sorry. Aside from that lousy joke, Mark goes through the trials and tribulations of being a superhero and dealing with family drama and teen drama. This review will be heavy spoilers, and so I will go over each character and a few of the story beats. I have not read the comics, so this is all about the TV show.
Let's start with the adults of this series, beginning with Omni Man, voiced by JK Simmons, and JK Simmons excels at this role. He is terrifying, and he is a fascinating antagonist. I say antagonist because no true hero would beat their son into a bloody pulp. Anyway, he is a perfect character, and I enjoyed him. I was terrified of him whenever Deborah was trying to investigate whether or not he was involved with the murder of the Guardians of the Globe as I didn't know what he would do. Knowing that he killed the Guardians while the other characters didn't develop a lot of suspense had me on the edge of my seat. He is a monster, and I wonder what will happen in season two. Overall, I like Omni Man as an antagonist of the series.
Let's talk about Cecil Steadman, and I like him as well. I do not have that much to say about him, except he kind of reminds me a lot of all the government agents from Marvel and DC. Despite him working with the heroes, I enjoy that he would still have some dark moments like recruiting that messed-up doctor who created the reanimen. I am seeing him coming to blows with Mark and other heroes soon.
Now let's get into Eve's parents. I hate her father as almost calling his own child a bitch is not cool. Also, did he cheat as well? I mainly wonder because he was like, forgive Rex as he made a mistake and did no wrong. If he did cheat, I have a lot of questions to ask the mother. Eve was right to leave that toxic household.
Now let's go to Robot Man, and he is an exciting creep. He had to deal with a lot considering what his natural body had to go through, but he often meant well. However, when he started to have this creepy fascination with Monster Girl, I was very uncomfortable with how he interacted with her. I am not a fan of Rexsplode, but he had every right to be freaked out when Robot introduced himself in a younger version of his body. Also, why hasn't he found something to help Monster Girl? He said that he was doing this for her, but Monster Girl needs more help than him just getting a new body.
Next is Black Samson, and I like him. I was pretty happy when he got his powers back, and I love his character. I loved his interaction with the New Guardians. I apologize that I don't have that much to say about him, but I do like his character.
Lastly, I'll talk about my favorite adult character is Deborah Grayson, the best mom ever. Also, fuck you, Nolan, for calling her a pet! She is amazing. She can keep Mark human and remind him how important it is for a hero to help people no matter what. She reminds him that she is a human. I love how she took a role when she notices that Nolan is very suspicious because she knows what her husband is capable of. The poor woman had to see her own son get beaten to the brink of death by her own husband after hearing said husband call compare her to a pet and realize that all their years married were a lie. Someone needs to give this woman a hug.
Now let's get into the New Guardians of the Globe. Let's start with Shrinking Ray, as there is not that much to say about her. I mean, I loved her introduction scene, but she didn't have that much screen time. I would like to see more of her; maybe she'll get more screen time in season two, perhaps she won't. I also want to see more from Dupli-Kate(I don't know if I spelled this correctly). The only scene that stands out to me is when she was involved with Rex, and that's not cool.
Now let's get into Rex Splode. He basically has Gambit-like powers but lacks the charm and charisma and is an overall douchebag. I really don't like him at all, and he is probably the weakest member. While his powers could be helpful but he is not the best person personality-wise.
Next is Monster Girl, and I love her. I really hope that she would get her curse lifted. Aside from Mark and Eve, her story is probably the most compelling and pretty horrifying. If I noticed that I was slowly de-aging, I would be freaking out as well. I hope that she stays away from Robot.
Now let's get into the other characters that aren't really a part of a team. Let's start with William, and he is fantastic that Mark doesn't deserve some time. I would have been angry at Mark for being so obsessed with Amber and not helping find his crush, who was transformed into a horrifying cyborg-like man. Then again, I am not William, and he is a good friend.
Now let's get to Amber, and I love Amber; she is a great character and is not a bad guy. Amber wanted to break up with Mark as he was a terrible boyfriend. Also, I am glad that she didn't take Mark back when he revealed his identity. I mean, if William was okay with knowing Mark's identity, Mark should have stepped back and maybe talk to Amber about his superhero life. I feel that Amber knew about his superhero life during the college visit, and she had it with all the lies. That's just my headcanon, but she is a pretty cool person. I even loved her interactions with Eve and how she inspired Eve to go out on her own. She is not a terrible person. She is a teenage girl who is frustrated with being treated by a guy who would not leave her alone when she tried to enforce boundaries.
Now let's get into Eve, my all-time favorite character who is probably the most powerful being on earth. I know that Mark and Eve would get into a relationship soon thanks to some spoilers while surfing the web, but I am looking forward to the slow burn. She is the best character in the show, and her powers are fantastic. She is just the best; that all there is to it.
Now let's get into the main character himself, Mark. Now I just want to say is that I do love Mark. I love me, a character with flaws. I feel like he was spreading himself too thin, he wanted to date Amber and be a hero, but he was a terrible boyfriend. Mark, I love you, but when someone says that she wished to space give her space. The relationship was unhealthy, and I really wanted Mark to stop and let her go because he had so much to deal with. This is what always frustrated me. I mean, Mark caused a good majority of the relationship problems. I love him, but he had to stop.
The rant aside, I do love Mark as a character and a lead character as well. While he appears to be strong, he is a character who does not understand the responsibility of being a superhero. He has a robust power set, but he has no idea how to use it or what he is getting into. He does have the best qualities when it comes to being a hero. He is kind, always wants to help people with their problems, and just wants to be a good hero. He is an excellent lead, and the poor boy really has gone through a lot in a short amount of time. Still, he does have a great story, and his reactions to what has happened to him are pretty human. I mean, I would be happy if I learn that I have superheroes and then be a mess when I know that my father was insane.
Overall I loved this show, and when is the second season coming? I am not good at exercising patience! All of the characters are great, and the animation, from my limited knowledge, is fantastic. The plot is fantastic and fast-paced, and I cannot wait to see more of the show.
