Obvious shit I noticed part 3 (spoilers for welcome to heaven)
Tumblr media
Look at her! "Teehee"
Also she's nervous! Foreshadowing omg 🤯
Tumblr media
STICKERS! Two pride stickers and a cute donut. Gives me an idea to draw Chaggie at a donut shop while everything is burning down <3 (I'll probably do it but if any artist wants to as well go ahead!)
Tumblr media
*CHOKES ON COFFEE* I LOVE THEM. I'M SORRY I GET SO GIDDY WHEN THEY HAVE EVEN THE SMALLEST INTERACTION BUT UGHHH I NEED MORE, IT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH 🙏🙏
Tumblr media
KISSY! MWA! *SCREAMS INTO THE VOID*
Vivzie give me more, moar now. MOAR
Tumblr media
DAMN. SHE CAN THROW- or maybe it just exaggerates the perspective in this frame but still- ZAMNNN
Tumblr media
Cherri x Sir Pentious fans RISE UP.
I wasn't ever really a fan of it myself but I always thought it was CUTE. Like 3 seconds before this part I was already begging for them to kiss 😭
Tumblr media
More foreshadowing!
Tumblr media
AAAAAA CREEPY BIRD THINGS!!!
Tumblr media
Oh wait- Sera's hot and Emily's already adorable
Tumblr media
If heaven don't look like what this is in the show, I DONT WANT IT! (THATS A JOKE PLEASE DON'T SMITE ME)
Tumblr media
JEALOUS GIRLFRIEND VAGGIE!! Can I just say how much I love Vaggie's face expressions? Not just here but like all the time. She's just made to be so exaggerated, out of all of them I thought it would be Charlie who would have the most dramatic faces but Vaggie wins it for me. I JUST GIGGLE SO HARD WHEN SHE LOOKS LIKE THIS BAHAHAH
Tumblr media
Okay yeah. It's very obvious now. Vaggie is definitely an ex-exterminator. They don't close in on Charlie here so it's made to subtly nudge the attention to Vaggie. HOW DID THEY IMMEDIATELY NOTICE IT WAS HER THO??
Tumblr media
Hot-
That's it.
SHARE THAT MOTHUSSY GIRL-
Tumblr media
YOU'RE TELLING ME SHE GREW OUT ALL OF THAT HAIR?!? YEAH ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THEN BUT STILL AJJSJD.
But overall the design is pretty meh. I always loved the idea of short hair Vaggie and even have seen art of it but it's just yknow, alright. Reminds me of Cassandra from Tangled: the series. IM LISTENING TO ONE OF THE SONGS RIGHT NOW HELPPP
Tumblr media
THIS SCENE HERE! WOOOOO! SO GLAD WE KNOW WHEN AND WHERE THEY FIRST MET!! Wish we got it extended tho. And also probably push it to next episode so it would have a better impact(atleast I think thats when they'll have the duet). BUT WHATEVER SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING! or uh whatever
Vaggie must've been a bit terrified at first. The only sinner she ever sent mercy to was a child. Then to see someone who to her is an adult sinner who just looks really human, that must be crazy. BUT THEN IF SHE WAS TOLD THAT CHARLIE WAS ACTUALLY THE PRINCESS OF HELL? HOOOO, LOCK IN AND STEAL HER. THAT'S SOME WATTPAD SHIT. Also, I wonder how long Charlie thought of redeeming sinners. It would make sense to be after meeting Vaggie, since it could have been a wake up call to the fact not all sinners are bad people. Even though Vaggie isn't a sinner technically, Charlie didn't know that at the time. But maybe Charlie was always like this but just needed to meet someone who could start her dream with her. Long rant uhhh
Haha penis 🫵
Tumblr media
SCRAP WHATEVER I SAID IN THE FIRST PART. THEY PROBABLY DO FUCK- OR DONT?? I DONT KNOW- ANYWAY LESBIAN SEX (BOTTOM TEXT). WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH??? SOMEONE PULL THE TRIGGER.
Lute looks like a basic asf anime gorl. Adam doesn't ever take his helmet off, or maybe he just can't. OH HE'S DOING THE GAY SIGN 💅💅 Very appropriate for what he's saying
Tumblr media
Mentor, apprentice. I love that Husk is just trying to help Angel grow but isn't going to force him into it if he doesn't want to.
Im not a fan of huskerdust and think they'd be better friends as I can't imagine a relationship with them at all. But it's still nice and they are supportive of eachother so that's like- yknow. Basic rules. Or something like that. (HELP. I ruined it all at the last part)
Tumblr media
I- girl- WHY IS SHE GROWLING?? GRR GRR RR (INSERT TWILIGHT SAGA HERE)
VAGGIE'S FACE. SENDS ME. WHO GAVE HER THESE OVERDRAMATIC EXPRESSIONS, I APPLAUD YOU RGAGAGA
Tumblr media
Ooo... I didnt like this part at all... Instead of making the choice she just runs off. Then because the plot demands it, Adam says nothing. Kinda whish she atleast avoided the question, maybe in some way that would require actual thinking? For a character like Vaggie, she could choose either way and it feel like it's still her. If she chose to protect Charlie's dream, she would still be perfectly loyal to her but in the act of so would reveal a secret that could harm their relationship(which does happen at the end but that's because the plot wanted it like that). If she chose to side with Adam, she'd be hurting Charlie emotionally, sure, but it would keep a secret that could make Charlie see Vaggie less than who she is to her already(atleast what Vaggie might think would happen). Imo it should've been her deciding to protect Charlie, since it would mean she's devoted to her at all times.
ANOTHER THING! IF SHE COULDN'T MAKE THE CHOICE, THAT IS SOMETHING INTERESTING TO GO INTO. Maybe it could go deeper into how Vaggie doesn't know who she is without Charlie. So when she has a choice to make, like here, she can't do it without feeling the need to ask Charlie. BUT NOOO, YA HAD TO GO WITH THIS!! Wow. That was a long ass rant. Wtf 😭
Maybe I'm a dumbass. Maybe they'll talk about that next episode, but still, atleast touch on it a bit to not seem rushed?
Tumblr media
Angel looking out for his kids like a mom. We always did need the motherly figure, the one closest to that being Charlie but girl needs a mother in her life too(damn, wait, I did her so dirty).
Tumblr media
Huh, so why does it work here then? 🤨🤨 if it was said in the contract that Valentino can do whatever he wants only in the studio, then why is this the exception? 🤨🤨
Yes I'm stupid. Why do you ask? (No genuinely what's happening here)
Tumblr media
OH ITS THE IMAGE! I really like Sera so far, hope we get more of her soon or in season 2.
Now that we know the context of this, yeah, that's fucking insane. And badass. WOMEN.
Tumblr media
HMM. THATS STRANGE. DID YOU NOT FOR ONCE THINK THERE COULD BE A POSSIBILITY SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN ANGEL? Okay I probably wouldn't either but I have an excuse, I'm an idiot. Some girl with a standing out outfit, with one eye, looks unusually human, right after/during the extermination... that's pretty solid ass proof. But I'm dumb so don't take anything i say seriously :D
Tumblr media
Imagine this. No- shit. Just-
JUST LOOK! THEY ARE SO CUTE! EVEN THOUGH CRAZY SHIT IS HAPPENING.
Tumblr media
*SWEATS*
Tumblr media
Vaggie is DESPERATE. PLEADING. That's obvious yeah, but don't mind me I had nothing to say for the last 3 images I just thought they were cool
Tumblr media
I mean. Slay I guess. 😍💅
Do all the exterminators look similar or is it just Lute and Vaggie? 🤨
Tumblr media
Even though Vaggie and Charlie may be going through this horrible thing with a hard punch in the gut, but Vaggie is always going to comfort her and I just think that's so adorable.
Also Adam looks like a chicken hah.
Tumblr media
Everyone fears to be like Lucifer. If they don't do bad things they believe are for the greater good and make sacrifices that put them higher than those in hell, they could themselves be fallen. It's really interesting but I don't know if it's going to be fleshed out enough with the amount of episodes left. Which also worries me about everything else that still hasn't be concluded. There's gonna be loose strings I just know it. Hopefully though they rather do that then rush everything out y'know?
I want the next episode to be mostly focused on Vaggie and Charlie's relationship and the healing of what happened. Not for the entire episode of course, it would feel drawn out if it did, but atleast address the problem for the first like I would say 10 minutes? Then the rest would focus on one or two loose threads while also having Vaggie and Charlie acting upon moving on. That's just my idea but yeah-

> Saturn ASPECTS < and why you ain't getting the respect you deserve Saturn puts you in shitty cycles/ patterns to make you; by breaking you > and when you inevitably return to these struggles, you'll realise you've mastered his circuits
yes i had break, im back now. so get over it.
Tumblr media
Saturn aspecting Sun - loosen up. but everytime you do, something else fucks up. so now your the most rigid person. its hard to have a good time with yall, because you take things so seriously, but damn do you exceed when shit needs to be taken seriously - because your so careful in your movements 🚶‍♂️. they tend to have a habit of stating the obvious then smirking about it, which is so confusing because like we all knew that, but why you acting like you did something? this type of shit is why people struggle to chill around you, but ill ask for your advice about real shit because your obsessed with being an authority and like thats the only way to approach you guys without getting iced by you Saturn aspecting Moon - Stop crying. oh wait i meant to say; start crying. jesus you got some fucked up villainous back story but your stone walling everyone because it hurts too much to even open up to anyone. because i mean whats the point? if everyone is just going to tell you "its going to be okay" when you never feel okay. feels bad man, and you know better than most how bad feels.. man.. so i guess saturn wants you to accept how cruel the world is, and how that affects everyone, so you are more prepared for bad circumstances then most. hardly a positive spin, ik.. but its to prepare you for your future. and you have no idea why you must go through so much pain - but there is a reason, and it will become clear later, so better utilize that energy to your benefit; because its just another one of saturns bitch cycles
Saturn aspecting Mercury - when you speak, people try there best to one up you, but your a master at it by now > passive aggressive, or authoritative - who gives a fuck if you belittle the other person, because i mean if your right, then you right. so better off writing it into reality, rather than watch everyone clown around with the wrong answers. but speaking ths way to others, really does make it hard to talk to you, even if you right, your just a fkn asshole. so honestyl. stop trying to figure out the right answer, and think about whats the right thing to say. stop pretending to be an authoritative speaker if no one even wanna listen to you, and start owning what you say more. Saturn aspecting Venus - joecly flores on repeat. okay i get it. you dont believe in love, because you see it how it is. well. its not actually how it is. youve ruined all your chances of anyone ever gonna love you because you think being all cold and mysterious is attractive (and it can be) but i mean who tf wanna love someone like that. its like riding a bike uphill. i mean i dont wanna do that. like these people are always attractive, but their attitude is so hard to ignore, its like trynna make a spider smile. thats why people reject you more than anythng else. and Ik that your just trying to find the real ones, but guess what, everyone that ever talked to you/ flirted with you, liked you.... oh thats too shallow or optimistic? my bad Saturn aspecting Mars - I never do anythng right ;(((((( well you actually do a lot right, but your always doing too much. your so obssessed with perfection and being a high achever that you've forgotten everything you've achieved becayse your so focused on the next one. if you just reflected on how much you work; in comparison to most, youd realize you are big achiever, and you dont understand reality as well as you think. well okay you do undersatnd reality extremely well (because you try so damn hard lol) but you've lost your sense of self because you still dont think your worth it till you achieve the next thing- hence the cycle of working yo ass off - but hey you'll achieve a lot, you just need to perfect your perfectionistic tendencies -then youll finally be perfect! (get it) Saturn aspecting Jupiter - i think this aspect is one of the coldest. because these people try so hard, but get no where for the majority of their life. till they change perspectives and realize if they try harded else where, they'd get launched into success. i mean the amount of people who are successful - and i mean hugely successful > have this aspect - and everytime it was due to massive luck. however only they could grasp the 'lucky' opportunity, and that initself makes their achievements so much cooler than others. remember its jupiter, so all your 'hardships' inevitably become your greatest 'luck'. the white guy from 'sean of the dead' has this, and look at how much he impacted movies in general... jus saying mad props to that guy and to yall
Saturn aspecting Uranus - okay these guys are outcasted from society hard, due to some bullshit, but when they get recasted back into civilization they become someone who can change society at large- but its gonna take so much work... their perspective has been molded differently to most because they've been alone for so long. they have strange ideas that somehow work into tangible assets. perfect example : eminem - i mean hes basically best case scenario with this aspect, but hey why not try for best case scenario? but then again he made that hamster song... so i mean not always best case scenario... THats the price of neglect you could say lmao. Saturn aspecting Neptune - your imagination is your greatest challenge but also the key to your ultimate glory. like Michael Jordan had this aspect and well he was hella delusional. until he wasnt.... but its hard to say how much this benefited him... because both stages of his life - pre glory - and; glory - he was heavily isolated from everyone, and (likely) suffered in seclusion, by placing so much importance on his dreams. saturn wants you to master the 'spiritual world' i.e. imagination and dreams, and this causes anxiety that their dreams will just be dreams. which is what makes them put so much effort into it becoming real... then they realize the price of it all when its too late. so just make sure your aware of what your manifesting because if anyone can make it, its you. (achieving ur dreams) Saturn aspecting Pluto - how powerless do you feel. you do realize people can see how thirsty you are for respect/power, because they can sense your insecurity from past exepriences, and thats why your easy to play with. but do not worry. you will attain true power with enough effort. not just a bullshit image of power. because you've been pushed into the most vile trials to have ever have existed, and its only so that when you become someone powerful, you utilize your power properly, and do not step on others, because you know damn well how much it hurts to be stepped on. so your power is > saturn. your trials are so intense, and you're basically broken, but things that are broken know how to cut others (like broken glass). and well saturn wants you to master this > pluto > the darkness. and it makes reaching the top so much more palpable, because you'd feel like you earnt it. but you can make others insecure about what youve overcame so you better be humble, or saturn will fuck you. no honour among thieves, and we know you experienced that, but the kings play different, and you gotta adapt or saturn will flatten you.

In response to your post about the upcoming event:
(Feel free not to respond by the way, just wanted to share my thoughts)
I totally agree. Not only does it feel doomposty, but it also just feels almost like a conspiracy theory to me? Like, you don’t know the details about this event, so to automatically assume it’s being run in bad faith or because of x or y thing currently happening is kind of…well I think it certainly helps me form some not so great opinions on those people
You can of course be upset about what’s going on, but it’s important to recognize it is highly unrealistic to keep the server in a permanent limbo state while we wait for information these people want to be public. Those processes take a *long time*. It isn’t necessarily trying to brush off or hide away what has happened, but rather trying to continue forward for the sake of the project
I am responding to this because i agree wholeheartedly
I feel like some people dont understand, legal stuff in the US generally take a couple months to well over a YEAR and i think its the same situation as when the egg figurines were released. QSMP needs revenue, it needs creator and audience interaction, it needs to actually gain money to make the progress people want to see. I am making that point very clear because i have a suspicion it might be streamed on the QSMP twitch channel, bad spotted some behind the scenes camera work, coulda been for the cutscene we got today but i think its for the event personally.
Its kind of obvious (to me at least) when things are admin run, and so far for the past couple weeks EVERYTHING has been ADMIN RUN. They were holding off but eventually went back to rping again because its FUN and they want to have fun on the SERVER. and even the admins NOT ON THE SERVER want it to continue running and continue content being made, are you deaf?? how in the world are you angrier than the people who were affected? what kind of goddamn vigilante justice bullshit??
This probably made no sense, but im excited. Im not gonna not be excited, im not letting anyone ruin the fun of the project

Personally, im fond of "dean thinks he already confessed and cas doesnt return his feelings" truthing, bc it makes both of them look like dumbasses.
Dean thinks his feelings were obvious since almost saying "i love you" in the crypt, but he thinks cas DEFINITELY knows after his prayer in the trap, so cas not saying anything back must mean hes trying to let him down easy, right? He doesnt need to explicitly state his feelings and intentions, because they must be embarrassingly obvious. Cas has to know he is loved, forgiven and wanted, the fact that he doesnt reciprocate and keeps leaving is a clear enough answer in itself.
Except, cas is kind of a tunnel visioned autism boy and he NEEDS stuff spelled out for him at least once.
So while dean is over there being an emotionally repressed bag of "if i never talk about my humiliatingly soft feelings out loud, i cant ever be rejected out loud. people just have to KNOW", we have cas going "too bad my embarrassingly soft feelings obviously arent returned, i better keep them to myself so i dont ruin the friendship i have by being greedy" and theyre both wrong and most other people can easily see that.
Cas NEEDS it said out loud, thats why his verbal confession made him so happy, the words had been choking him for ages. Meanwhile dean is visibly confused bc why now and why is cas acting like his feelings arent returned when he KNOWS that dean.... and by the time dean has processed all of it, its too late.
Them overcoming their trust issues, low self esteem and bad communication skills together is essential to me in any post-canon fix it. Dean needs to know that its ok to talk about feelings and that cas deserves the security of an actual confession and cas needs to learn that not everything has to be explicitly spelled out for it to be true and he can just trust deans love for him.

Reader: gn!reader

Editor: @rayneywidows
all in big Q's pov
[writing] or hcs 
Tumblr media
Long distance. Not the best type of relationship but definitely not the worst type. But, sadly you ended up getting a relationship. At first you didn't mind it, but the more you found out who your lover was the more you wished you could just hug them until death. You and quackity met via dsmp style almost like everyone else in the server. Also like everyone else you grew close with lore and just friendship style too. Once you finally planned, which took months by the way, you and quackity found a free week so he can finally see you in person. 
Quackity’s pov 
I look at my phone, ‘2:30’. What if y/n doesn’t show up? They do live on the other side of the world. I stand in the airport, watching the planes from outside as the sound of people echo in my ears. I feel a sense of panic run through me. Every second I was turning to their plan gate. I hear a scream of joy from someone, but only feel disappointment when that person goes to someone else. I don’t want to bother y/n with my nervous text, so I just decide to be a bit more patient with them. Instead i just take a seat and scroll on my phone a bit, (aka spamming my friends to help me out.)
‘4:30’ time flies by quickly. I am really about to give up, thinking y/n actually stood me up on our first irl meetup, but I just stay there hoping they will show up. That slowly starts to fade by each passing minute. Soon enough I just kinda give up… I stand up and start to walk out until, “Alex?” I turn my head around to see y/n. They look even better in person, finally I get to see them not behind a screen! I panic as my instincts take over, I immediately turn around to full body to hug them in my tight embrace. I feel them hug back just as tight, and I suddenly feel eyes start to water. I hold back my tears for the sake of not ruining the moment, and pull back. I take a quick glance at them before smashing my lips upon theirs. I feel myself practically melt as they follow after. I pull away, and notice the obvious in awe eyes around us. y/n looked at everyone but i held her face and faced her back to me. 
“Look at me, my eyes only matter right now <3”

I wish I was your girl. chapter 1
First chapter is a little short, just to introduce the story and move it along! Set around the early seasons :) -please check out this post for warnings.
Tumblr media
You dont know my mind.
Your head laid on House's bare chest, as his fingers drew soft circles on your shoulder, while you both listened to each other's heavy breathing from the highs you both just came down from.
Breaking the sweet silence, House couldn't help but ask a provocative question ruining the simplicity being held in each other's company.
“Are you sure you’re not a porn star?” He asks with a huge grin plastered across his face.
“Ha, ha, very funny. And anyway you'd be so lucky, old man.”
Your tone sarcastic yet playful as you try to hide the smile creeping onto your lips, while staring up at him with doe eyes.
House dramatically places a fist to his heart and lets out an exaggerated hiss.
“Ah, ouch! God I hope you weren't this mean to all your other bosses, or well pimps.”
“Mhm only the ones I was sleeping with.” You shot back immediately, earning you a proud smirk from him.
As he goes to get up to grab hisvicodin, and break from your touch, you let out a whine in protest, not wanting to feel the loss of contact.
“God, you're so needy, better keep you away from Wilson. Actually speaking of Wilson he's meeting me here in about half an hour, and quite frankly I wouldn't like to sit and explain why a member of my team is on my couch in her underwear.
You can't help but take his last statement to heart, you knew it was stupid as you were sleeping with Greg House, what more were you expecting? However the desire to be more than a fuck buddy had been creeping up on you lately and you simply wanted more. Was you just an employee with a nice set of tits and a nice arse to him?
“Actually, I was thinking maybe it wouldn't be terrible if people knew about us.”
You lowered your head and your voice was quiet and consumed with seriousness. House didn't reply for a few seconds until you lifted your face to meet his eyes.
“What? You can't be serious.”
After a moment he realised you in fact were not joking and let out a frustrated laugh.
“Oh my god. I don't see how you dont think its a terrible idea, (y,n), we agreed that we would just have great mindless sex, no strings attached. Why ruin that?”
He was defensive which just pissed you off even further.
You became more enraged and hurt the more you thought about the words spilling from his harsh mouth.
“That was then, this is now. Maybe I don't want to be your dirty little secret, who is chucked out everytime there's a threat of someone seeing us, forever. I'm not asking for the moon here House, I just don't see why you're so scared of a little commitment.”
“Yeah well maybe I didnt think by fucking you I was signing up to be husband for god sake. Did we sign a prenup?”
House's voice was mean as he spoke and his hand rested on his forehead out of frustration.
You let out a scoff of shock and disgust.
“Fine. I won't be bothering you anymore, you know unless a patient is dying, if that's even worth bothering you for.”
As fast as the words travelled out your mouth, so did your clothes appear on your body and feet step out of his apartment.
Tears filled with rage brimmed and finally spilled from your sad eyes once outside his apartment door. Thankfully spilling outside of House's sight despite them threating to stream from your face as soon as his vindictive words hit you.
— 2 days later —
Hostility wasnt near close enough to explain the feeling and tension between you and House. Snide comments and brooding stares were exchanged but other than the differentials and generally doing your job you didn't speak or acknowledge House.
House was being more of an ass than usual and it was obvious the team were starting to pick up on it as for the past couple of months he had seemed relatively happy. They ultimately knew there was no point trying to figure out Greg House.
Your best friend Foreman on the other hand had no problem trying to figure out why you had been acting strange. He was worried you might be slipping back into past habits.
He came to look for you while you were in the common room, where you were finishing up paperwork but mainly hiding away.
“Hey, how come you're in here instead of the office?”
He asks the question already knowing the answer, he just wanted to know why exactly you were hiding away,
Feeling slightly defensive not wanting to unload all your problems and thoughts on to your best friend, you did the only thing you could think to do. Lie.
“Um, I don't know, it's just quieter I guess. You gonna join me?”
You try to give him a convincing smile, although it definitely didn't work all that well.
He let out a sign of slight annoyance seeing straight through your lies, not understanding why you weren't being straight with him.
“Quit the bullshit (y,n). I can tell somethings up with you. You've hardly been yourself and believe me I know when somethings bothering you.”
You hated shutting Foreman out but you couldn't be arsed to explain that the reason you had been distant was because Greg House only saw you as a cheap fuck. I mean it's pathetic.
“Okay, yeah i've been a little off lately and im sorry, totally nothing of your doing. I just stopped seeing this fling but i don't know I was delusional to want to take it further. It's dumb really.”
He nodded his head to make sure you knew he was listening before finally giving you a sympathetic smile.
“Not to sound like a jerk but yeah that is pretty dumb. But he'd have to be even dumber to not want you.”
He let out a chuckle and you smiled trying to act like you agreed, despite knowing it was far deeper and more complex than you let on.
“Look, come for a drink with the team after work. Have a few drinks, or a few kisses and forget about whatever idiot you were screwing.”
You nodded your head in agreement.
I mean sure you know that getting out will dull the hurt you feel but the alcohol will only spur on your self destructive manic side.
What could possibly go wrong?

worst popular infinite headcanon?
oh my. this one got long so im going to spare peoples dashes by putting this under a cut haha
anyways my answer is: making him out to be a little crybaby who is driven purely by revenge and sadness to make the world pay for shadow killing his squad mates, whom he loved in a normal way and saw them as family or whatever. it makes his character so goddamn flat and boring bc thats such a standard villain motivation, and it entirely strips away a lot of his personality even when theres already so little to work with LMAO
i know ive spoken about it at length in the dog&hog server but to me, infinites most notable trait is that hes selfish
in the prequel comic rise of infinite (yay, prequel comic talk. everyones favourite, i know) he deliberately ignores any protests from his gang against accepting eggmans deal of working with him, because eggy singles him out and offers him a place at his side to bring his fantasy of ruin into reality. not infinite and his crew, just infinite
Tumblr media
(image has two comic panels. in the first one, eggman is reaching a hand out to infinite as he says "now you are an interesting guy. i like you. how about i hire you to lead my forces? together we'll take over the world!" in the second panel, one of the jackal squad members says "boss! dont be tempted by him. we'll be fine!")
and infinite says yes after briefly talking about how he personally feels bored and tired of how the world is right now
Tumblr media
(image has two panels. in the first, infinite is mumbling to himself, first laughing and then saying "interesting. all this time ive been going through the motions. ive actually grown quite tired of the world as it is." in the second panel he stands and says "lets do it doctor! i'll help you change this world!")
again, its a decision based off an entirely personal and individualistic opinion that only takes his own feelings into account. you would think that if he valued his squad to the extent that they were "like family" to him, he would have listened when they said he shouldnt make a deal with eggman. if he actually cared about them as much as he cared about himself, he would have trusted them enough to say no. instead he only thinks about what he wants and what he can get, not about what will happen to the others
ive always been of the opinion that infinite used his squad and position of authority as their leader to prop himself up and viewed them more like underlings or subjects that he could order around and be superior to, rather than equals whose opinions and input he valued. maybe he started out having more camaraderie with the other jackals, but it certainly doesnt show by the time we get to the events of the prequel comic, and even less so when we get to episode shadow/the main game
the idea that he saw his squad more like tools to make himself look better than people also makes more sense because when in episode shadow, eggman calls infinites squad "useless" directly to him and all infinite says is "yeah, yeah" in a very uncaring fashion. even when he then spots shadow and says "you.. you destroyed my squad!" its entirely unconvincing to me that he said it out of sorrow or sadness; to me it was more like simple anger that it happened. because now without his little group of followers that looked up to him and did whatever he told them to, he had nobody to feel superior to. he couldnt go on any more power trips by being The Boss bc there was nobody left to indulge him, no one to stoke his ego, nobody to be the boss of. so thats why he felt slighted by shadow in the first place; how dare this hedgehog take away what made him feel special and important. and then of course the ensuing humiliation that came afterward was just the icing on the shit cake haha
it also explains why infinite never brings up his squad in any of his monologues (besides the prequel comics and episode shadow being obvious afterthoughts to the main game loool); he just doesnt care. if anything, their loss was his gain bc it pushed him towards acquiring the phantom ruby and getting to go on the ultimate power trip of world domination and near total subjugation of the population. i think that also ties into his mindset that friends make you weak and you cant rely on anyone but yourself; in his case, thats literally true. if he hadnt lost his squad, if he had initially listened to them, the chain of events we know well would not have come to pass and he would not have gotten to become the powerhouse he did. he would have still been leading his monotonous life and following the same old script. from his perspective they really did hold him back, and only once they were gone was he able to become stronger. he reiterates this by thanking shadow in the dlc for doing what he did in mystic jungle (killing the jackal squad and kicking infinites ass) bc otherwise he wouldnt have gotten the incentive he needed to take on the mantle of becoming a super powered weapon
and if you want some more evidence thats admittedly a lot more of a stretch, you could also interpret infinite creating a posse of past sonic foes as him filling the void of using the jackal squad that was created after shadow had taken them down. he gets to control people again (even if theyre clones that had no choice but to obey him but nyeh i told you it was a stretch), he gets to be a leader again
idk, i just think that having a sob story as a main motivation is (funny joke here) weak. i have never once thought that infinite needs to have some kind of sympathetic or tragic backstory. and maybe thats just my own personal bias coming through bc i prefer villains that are evil for reasons like their moral philosophies or have some kind of goal that makes the audience go "maybe they do have a point tbh" and villains that are just evil for the sake of it over villains that say "my mom died" as if that is any kind of justifiable explanation. imo it almost always comes off as them making an excuse, and its lame. just own it, yknow?
so yeah if i could block one thing from the minds of infinite fans it would be the hc that infinite was tightly knit with the jackals and wanted what was best for them. bc with all the evidence ive seen, its not supported at all, and hes actually the exact opposite; he does what he wants and uses who he wants for his own purposes and gain
also yes i do think shadow straight up killed the other jackals and i do think thats in character for him but thats a conversation for another day

hi im bored and this is my professional opinion if seventeen r kitty or puppy coded and why because this is very important to me !!!!!!!!!
seungcheol : kitty coded
ok this was actually a really hard choice because he actually does have both kitty and puppy features but ultimately i decided kitty because hes so persian cat.
LOOK AT HIM POUTING.
but laura!!! he has a dog!!! YES I KNOW OKAY!! i LOVE kkuma. and as much as he wants to be a dog dad hes just a cat taking care of a dog beeeee so fr!!!!!
ok in conclusion realistically he can be both but like.. look at these photos and try spot the difference
Tumblr media
cheol get well soon i miss u .
if u disagree then u just dont get the vision!
jeonghan : kitty coded
i have previously stated how he is a ragdoll cat. and yes, he really is.
hes so mischievous in like the best way ever, tell me a kitty wouldn't do that. U CANT!!!!
as a cat owner myself.. im just correct.
he 100% knows how to get someone to give him what he wants (treats) and he sits there all day looking fabulous and getting attention for being so cute.
Tumblr media
also jeonghan get well soon im losing hair the longer ur gone.
anyway pls agree ive never been so confident in an answer in my life. dont ruin this
joshua : puppy coded
the more i look at shua smiling the more he reminds me of a cute puppy.
pls this man has me breaking down hes literally so cute.
i have no reason apart from the fact im so very sure he would be a puppy. and also hes an extrovert which automatically strikes me as a dog!!!
he looks like a fancy cat on a lot of pictures but dont let him gaslight u.
Tumblr media
he told me himself hes a smiley shiba inu.
im a strong believer in puppy shua.
junhui : kitty coded
i feel like this is a very obvious answer but still
0% puppy in him. its all a very feral cat.
when i look at jun i think of a british shorthair kitty. a baby one in specific.
especially because hes playful as hell but also has his moments when he just prefers to be quiet and listen to the others.
Tumblr media
he alternatively could just be a white and black cat.. it did occur to me while making this. however i still feel like a british shorthair is more suitable.
jun is so cat coded and even he knows it!
hoshi : kitty coded ?????
okay see my issue is that yes.. tigers are in the cat family. but do u not also ever look at hoshi playing around w the members and think that he could be a puppy if he wasnt so obsessed w tigers..
anyhow, he is kitty coded for the most part I GUESS.
sometimes he really does remind me of a hamster more than anything though, but again this isnt the point of this post.
ill give him this win and say he is a toyger cat.
Tumblr media
HE LITERALLY LOOKS SO HAMSTER IN THE FIRST PIC ITS BUGGING ME.
look at him tryna convince everyone in that 2nd pic.. ok wtv he convinced me
wonwoo : kitty coded
so very calm, knows what his boundaries are, likes playing around once in a while.
wonwoo is THE black cat. one of those that are really well taken care of with short yet super soft fur.
same as jun.. u will never find any puppy energy in this man.
he has a dog too, but hes the most cat coded person u will ever see. this is why my cheol point was also correct.
Tumblr media
im giggling those photos r so perfect. 3 wonwoos ^^^^^^
bye u legit cant even argue with this one if u wanted to
woozi : kitty coded
SHUT UP U KNOW IM RIGHTTTT!!
WOOZI IS SO KITTY I DONT CARE. I DONT EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN.
just as i know wonus a black cat, i know ujis a white cat.
hes so elegant yet so fun and so cute pls someone tie me down
Tumblr media
the fact i already knew what photos im gonna use says enough.
i would also like to say that hes also very bear coded. like if hes not a cat hes a bear.
dokyeom : puppy coded
everyone cheered!!!!
dk has always been very puppy to me, even in interviews where hes speaking to people he doesnt know (which makes it difficult for him (and hoshi)), hes ALWAYS trying his best.
hes so cute!??!?!?! like, im really not good with dog breeds AT ALL, but he clearly is a pomeranian.
is he a grown 5'10 man? yes. is he also a very cute puppy breed? also yes. why? it just makes so much sense.
Tumblr media
the 2 glasses photos were a coincidence but they somehow make him look even more puppy coded.
him in curly hair.. dude it doesnt get any better than that!!!
mingyu : puppy coded
DUH!!!! hes the puppiest out of all puppy in seventeen
surprisingly, i always see everyone call him a golden retriever which, personality wise I SO AGREE!!! but something itches my brain when hes compared to a husky. IT MAKES SM MORE SENSE NO??
i lied btw ive never seen anyone compare him to a husky this is me trying to drop my opinion without getting dragged.
theres not much else to say apart from that his emoji rep is litch a puppy so u cant deny it!
Tumblr media
no matter what breed u wanna compare him to, itll still always be a dog
i truly wish i could see him as a cat but its just not right!
minghao : kitty coded
kitty coded through and through!!!!
i dont think i cld ever compare hao to a puppy?? his vibes r so cat.
SIAMESE CAT** let me say. dont u agree!!
hes so sassy and i feel like that rlly influences my opinion but also when have u ever looked at minghao and thought he was puppy coded. literally NEVER. i cant name u one time.
Tumblr media
give him blue contacts and hes that cat in the middle (pls dont)
i rest my case thank yew!
seungkwan : BOTH?!
seungkwans a really difficult one for me. because he quite literally is both.
he has moments when hes so puppy coded then the next second hes the most kitty coded man ever.
same in selcas.. i cant even decide thru them!!!
if i really had to pick, id lean towards a cat, but again.. its too hard to decide.
Tumblr media
therefore, he would be an orange kitty or a samoyed dog! :3
im sorry for cheating my way out of this one but i srsly cant decide.
vernon : kitty coded
chillest cat ever trust me.
vernon said himself he really likes cats and that made this even easier than it was before cause it just makes sm sense!
im aware vernon likes dogs too but him liking cats is so ?? vernon ??????
i always go back to that photo of him holding the baby kitty. hes such a cat person. literally look up vernon being a cat person on twt and theres a whole thread proving it!
Tumblr media
this is why vernon is a siberian cat! he looks like it sm and he is chill like that ong
vernon and kitties give me life
dino : puppy coded
surprisingly i originally wanted to say kitty coded but after a think abt it.. hes clearly puppy coded
a very loved puppy by his 12 older brothers lolol
he always loves the attention and enjoys smiling and making others laugh a lot too..
do u guys remember that puppy interview? yeah.
Tumblr media
his light brown hair was the prime border collie days!
i found that middle photo and immediately thought dino.
ok i originally didnt even mean to assign them all to breeds or wtv but it just happened... thank u for reading this is what happens when i get too bored!!! anyway i think i did pretty well so!

A NEW PENUMBRA EPISODE HAS RISEN!!!! TIME TO THROW MY THOUGHTS INTO THE ABYSS!!!! random thoughts and ramblings follow :D
I AM SO READY FOR DETECTIVE RITA YOU HAVE NO IDEA
OH SHIT WILL SHE BE NARRATING PLEASE TELL ME SHES NARRATING
HER DETECTIVE VOICE IS SO FUN IM SO DEAD
why is she better at this than juno this is going so much better than his attempt
‘WATCH THIS’ * keyboard tapping noises* (i love her)
of course she gets paid in cereal i dont know what i expected
oh ok no junos still narrating
‘THE MAN I LOVED WAS ON THE LINE’ (this will never get old for me)
‘my name is juno steel and *usually* im the private eye’ i am enjoying this way too much
ok why do i love skipper they’re so fun?
‘he just ruins the *peaceful vibes*’ so real so real
HE TOOK THE FUCKING FLOWERS I SWEAR TO GOD
rita. had. dinner with them. oh my god. she is the best.
the mother speaking for the grandfather in like such an annoyed voice and then being so calm with ‘or so father says’ is so funny to me
skippers so dramatic i love them
‘SHUT UP DEAREST’ LMAOO
ooooooo did skipper help nureyev?? wait no thats too obvious….or it is just obvious enough to be right????…..no its isnt….or is it???? (im going insane)
‘he makes friends or.. more than friends and he uses those connections to his advantage’ OH SHIT (skipper???? skipper?? skipper kinda makes sense???) (but like yknow…obvious option)
‘watch skippers reaction in particular’ AHAHA!
OOOO ARE WE GONNA GET RITA NUREYEV INTERACTIONS PLEASE OH MY GOD
‘mostly i was thinking about nureyev’ *cue me falling off my chair at the instant romantic soundtrack that apparently follows nureyev’s name everywhere now*
roomantiic moonoolougueee tiimmee
GRIMMS MASK EPISDOE CALL BACK OH I AM NOT READY
‘another love’ ITS FOR HIS JOB ISNT IT ISTG
OH ITS FOR FUCKING HYPERION CITY OHHHHH SHIT
why does this remind me of the monolouge at the end of final resting place (end of the first season)
‘it wasnt a very nice city but hell im not a very nice lady’ vs ‘this is my city. im not proud of it but that doesnt mean its not worth saving’
there are so many things this season that are setting up to be broken (probably not the right word) but like so many things that have potential for a really sad/angsty pay off. like nureyev and slip or juno telling nureyev he’ll keep following him untl he says he doesnt want him to. or juno and missing hyperion city. i’m so scared.
oh ritas so dramatic its making me so happy
HE TOOK THE ORCHIDS !!!!!
ITS THE MOTHER????
of course she had an inflatable couch in her hideout spot
ooooo its juno detective-ing explain-ing time
juno obsessing over detective stuff is so fun
a CoNfEsSiOn
‘im tired of you people…and also just tired’ skipper being way too relatable
OH SHIT NUREYEV DIDNT TAKE THE FLOWERS???
SOMEONE TOOK THE FLOWERS FOR NUREYEV WHAT IS THIS????
OH IT WAS THE GRANDFATHER WHAT???
‘he sent me up to bed early’ ma’am, you are a probably-around-40-or-something-year-old woman
the gibberish is still funny
WHAT HE WAS FUCKING IN LOVE WITH NUREYEV HUH WHAT THATS SO FUNNY
‘we know how this theif operates he grabs you by your heartstrings and never lets go’ yeah rita would know about that with all the agnsty monolouges
WHAT THE FUCK HES TALKING????
WHO SAID HE LOVED HIM??? NUREYEV???? WHAT???
OH FUCK OH SHIT OH NO OH GOD ‘he said hed come back for me he said we’d run away together’ OHHHH NO NO NO NO NO. NO LONGER FUNNY
‘well it looks like my work here…is done’ *very fast tapping of rita walking away*
OH WAIT SHE CAME BACK TO ACTUALLY HELP JUNO LMAOO
awwww they’re all back together!
A TRACKER A TRACKER HE GOT IT ON NUREYEV AHAHAHA
THEY KNOW WHERE THE DOKANA GROUP IS LETS GO
oh ok fuck i thought we were done how foolish of me there hadnt been a sad speech yet
‘i knew he hadnt done the same to me’ OH THANK GOD OKOK
‘he meant the promises he made me’ AWW YAY
wait no its sad oh god oh no
‘problems for another day, i thought’ best coping method fr fr
‘the rest we’d just have to figure out together’ yay ok happy-ish ending :D
okok so alot of thoughts. i’m so scared of all the set-ups for angst and honestly i’m kinda just waiting for the episode that it all comes crashing down and everyones really sad. but also! hopefullness! juno saying that he’ll figure it out with nureyev! yay! i honestly don’t know how the big climax finally thing with jupeter and slip and the dokana group and everything is going to go i’m just really hoping for an eventual happy ending with happy jupeter (and rita there too :D)
anyway! loved this episode can’t wait for the next one with (i’m assuming) stuff with the Dokana group!!

I dont like how whenever homoeroticism in berserk is brought up its always “griffith was in love with guts!!!” Like yeah that is true but the guts side of it is rarely if ever brought up so much so that a lot of people believe its canon that guts didnt even reciprocate griffith’s feelings and thats why griffith was so upset. For all griffith knows guts didnt but we THE READERS should know that guts actually did and thats what adds to the tragedy. I get that with griffith it was a bit more obvious what with ruining his fuckin life over guts but guts also threw EVERYTHING away just for a CHANCE of getting griffith’s approval! It wasnt even guaranteed! (to guts it wasnt, we know he had it all along) Why is that always downplayed? And people always try to find other reasons for it like a man’s honor or whatever tf. Idk it all just adds to the false and widespread narrative of griffith being the “crazy obsessive homosexual” who unleashed an apocalypse bc his crush didnt like him back and its just icky and borders on homophobia at times. Guts was/is just as obsessed with griffith as griffith was with him and is no less of a homosexual than griffith is is all im saying. And dont get me wrong a lot of griffith’s narrative is driven by his feelings for guts but there are more layers to it than just that and repeating only that guts sentiment all the time just stands in the face of having any nuanced conversations about his character beyond, again, the crazy homosexual. This is about the fandom btw nothing @ you obv, just wanted to make sure thats clear
yeah lol, no arguments here. I mean I've written a 4 part essay about Guts' feelings for Griffith specifically because I feel like fandom has a tendency to ignore his half of things - mainly fandom as a whole rather than Griffguts fandom specifically, ofc.
it's funny because in a lot of ways I think Guts' feelings are more obvious than Griffith's - like in terms of homoeroticism and implied sexual attraction, eg. But he's more masculine, he's got a potential het love interest, and the anime downplays how his dream is just a misguided attempt to get closer to Griffith, so I guess it's easier for a lot of people to miss how gay he is lol.
Thanks for the ask, hope venting helped lol.

may i please ask…. michael myers, jason voorhees, freddy kruger, bubba sawyer, thomas hewitt (separately) reacting to thier s/o acting as them in a movie about them, like thier male s/o (if you dont do male ones, it could be gn?) acting as jason in a friday the 13th movie? if you dont want to its fine :) im asking around because i had this idea and i want to other peoples iterations of it :D
I unfortunately do not have a clue of the difference between Thomas Hewitt and Bubba Sawyer. They're not in the list of slashers I am confident enough to write about and wouldn't want to ruin them for you so...Here. I hope you'll like it nonetheless.
Tumblr media
"You wanna put on a show for me, sweetheart ? Fine by me. Better do it right though.."
Smug as hell. Would sit down and see what you've got and how you see him.
You *steal his hat* : "YOU ARE ALL MY CHILDREN NOW ! I'M A GOD ! FEAR ME, PUNY MORTALS !"
You then howled your best Freddy cackle and waited for his reaction...You didn't have to wait for long.
He slowly rose up to his feet and for a moment, your smile fell as he seemed truly pissed.
For a moment, you actually thought he was going to hurt you and closed your eyes, only to hear his familiar cackle.
"~Not bad. But, you missed something very important."
He then snatched his hat back before smirking at you.
"It ain't the hat or the cackle that makes me Freddy Krueger. It's the fear."
You gulped and nodded once before he winked at you.
"Good boy. Now, if you'll excuse me..I'll go do what Freddy does best.."
He walked away and you thought the talk was over, but then screamed as he unexpectedly wrapped an arm around your waist and his hand around your throat.
"~However, you do play the victim perfectly, darling.."
And before you could utter a word, he dragged you back in the shadows.
What he did to you in there ? No one knows...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Freddy showed you the movie.
The mask was your idea.
You silently waited for Michael to come and when he saw you wearing his mask, he froze.
You then silently stared at each other for a while until he decided to ignore you and sit down next to you.
He didn't know how to react at first, so he just went along and didn't mind.
However, he did start being concerned when you grabbed a knife and pretended to be going on a murder rampage.
Michael is very attached to his mask because it's the only way he can separate the both sides of him. He rarely takes it off.
And seeing you wear it would trigger some things. Very dark things..
He tried to get his mask back, but you just ignored his obvious attempts to reason with you and kept going, until Michael had had enough..
Michael *grabs your arm* : "Give it back. Now."
You didn't need to look at him to know his darker half had taken over and that if you didn't give it back, your arm would go bye-bye.
So, you finally obeyed.
Once he had the mask back in his possession, he returned to his calm and gentle self.
But, the message was clear. Never mess with Michael Myers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jason has many different masks. He collects them.
So, it was only a matter of time until you find one.
You decided to wear it and Jason was surprised when he saw you with it.
He was proud of course, and wondered of you would like him to make one especially for you ?
For some of the members of staff, seeing you walk around with his mask on spooked them, but some did laugh as they saw this mini version of the slasher.
Jason followed you around and it was quite funny to see you both walk next to each other.
You had learned to speak in sign language for the prank alone and Jason was impressed when you started conversing with him.
He was happy and you spent the day having silent conversations and driving the other slashers crazy.
Pennywise : "Errr...What are they talking about ?"
Freddy *shrugs* : "Beats me."
Brahms *smiles because he understands*
Jason would almost be sad to see you remove the mask and would even ask you to keep it.
It would make a perfect gift and a great way for you to always have a piece of him.

enabling your hater behavior…top 3 least favorite ships and why? can be from any fandom or all the same fandom. the only requirement is that you hate and drag them as much as you want
ive been a bit of a hater recently and man, i think its actually good for my skin, the fandom uses everything i like as a punching bag so its a healing thing for me
number 1. jonjay, character assassination, problematic and boring. the worst combination, i could go on and on about why i hate it but who cares. i hate it strong enough to put it in my bio though
number 2. timkon. i hate this ship sooooo much omfg i hate timkon so bad. KEEP TIM AWAY FROM CONNER.
so actually scrap this, any tim ship but especially timkon AUGH
superbat is 3. omg i hate this ship so bad. its the straightest gay ship and I HATE HOW THE SHIPPERS TALK ABOUT DAMIJON. go away
number 4. dickbabs. tom taylor i will find you.
number 5. twobat. the shippers are just insufferable omg but im sure the ship is good
number 6. i dont hate it but dickroy got ruined for me because the shippers are toxic asf.
number 7. damijay. for obvious reasons, i can actually mentally understand some jay ships because i believe jay shouldnt have ever been in the batfam so i understand people who walk about it like hes not although ALSO at least make it not a literal child, thats all to ask. also timdami. please please kill yourself if you ship that omg
number 8. sladick. or any slade ship. hes nasty and a r*pist. stop it.
number 9. wonderbat or wondersuper. pls kys STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT
number 10. bluepulse. just weird. its like gay damirae. its so damirae but people don’t realize it because its gay. it also screams that you dont care about these characters in actuality
number 11 and 12. not hating it but jayeddie or damilin. like they interacted a handful of times and never will. let it go. a lot of the people who ship this dont actually care abour jason or damian… its weird…

Dave Strider, Dirk Strider
Act 6, page 7748-7756
DAVE: ok actually maybe i will get into it
DAVE: i dunno why my friends got to have adults around who cared about them
DAVE: they complained bitterly about stuff so i guess i convinced myself they were all in the same boat as me
DAVE: but thats not how it was
DAVE: their complaints were trumped up nonsense and i bought it cause... i dunno
DAVE: i didnt have any frame of reference
DAVE: but his dad and her mom no matter what they said it was so obvious they cared about them deeply
DAVE: even jades weird fuckin grandpa who died when she was young obviously would have done anything for her
DAVE: why did i get such a raw cut of the asshole deck
DAVE: and why did it take me so long to figure that out
DAVE: and like hes dead now so thats that
DAVE: so all thats left to do is look back and try to put the pieces together of my first 13 years
DAVE: and all i can think is what the fuck WAS that?!
DAVE: i dont come away with the impression i used to try convincing myself of, that he was like "mysterious" or "stern" or "aloof"
DAVE: the only feeling left is this insane impression that i was raised by somebody who fuckin HATED me
DAVE: and the whole act of even "raising a child" was some totally fucked up game to him
DAVE: like parenthood was one of the highest tiers of irony in his solemn bullshit bro-ninja code
DAVE: so he went through those motions and did whatever he thought was "funny" or "badass"
DAVE: but under that weird stylistic and totally sociopathic approach to parenting i cant even IMAGINE there was any emotion toward me other than some sort of loathing
DIRK: What...
DIRK: Did he do?
DAVE: i dont want to get out the laundry list
DAVE: but for reference laundry wasnt one of those things
DAVE: that was just one of the many little domestic things i just had to sort of FIGURE OUT
DAVE: sorta like i eventually had to learn what the REAL purpose of a refridgerator was from movies
DIRK: Wait.
DIRK: What??
DAVE: i dunno theres too much to even get into
DAVE: just
DAVE: i dont remember the atmosphere ever not being nerve wracking
DAVE: all havin to sneak around and...
DAVE: ugh my shitty childhood spider senses are tinglin just thinking about it
DAVE: it was "training" you know
DAVE: but you know what it really was it was some vicious shit that was bad and sucked and i hated it
DAVE: it didnt make me stronger
DAVE: it did the opposite
DAVE: it made me never want to fight
DAVE: it made me never want to see blood or be near danger or hear metal sounds
DAVE: it made me hate the idea of being a hero cause he was a hero and he ruined the idea of heroism
DAVE: i dont even want to be fighting this shitty version of jack but hey nobody else has secret welsh powers so i guess i have to
DIRK: ...
DAVE: what gets me is how long it took me to put all this together
DAVE: to stop seeing it as some kinda roughhousey and eccentric life i had but was otherwise normal
DAVE: it took years to deconstruct it all and put it back together to understand how fuckin mad i should be
DAVE: and in particular how stone cold deeply uncared for i was my whole life
DAVE: like... being merely "monitored" by a violent robot
DAVE: i only started getting it after spending a lot of time in person with a bunch of people who actually did care about me
DAVE: and i could start feeling like
DAVE: actually somewhat human for the first time
DAVE: instead of...
DAVE: some sort of runty afterthought to a household cabal of smutty puppets
DIRK: ... Puppets?
DAVE: the fuckin puppets!!!
DAVE: i know how it sounds but i am NOT joking and there is NO shred of doubt in my mind that he loved all those puppets more than me
DAVE: honestly it is very possible that he was just insane and thats that
DAVE: i guess it didnt help either that we lived with what we have come to understand may theoretically be the most evil doll to exist in any universe ever
DAVE: in fact its my tenuous understanding that he came down to earth with that thing and like actually grew up with it
DAVE: maybe...
DAVE: maybe spending 30 some years being unseparable from that hell puppet had some effect on him??
DAVE: maybe if it hadnt been casting a pall over our apartment 24/7 since he took me in...
DAVE: grinning...
DAVE: glaring...
DAVE: laughing in my sleep...
DAVE: maybe our lives wouldnt have been quite so...
DAVE: maybe we would have...
DAVE: ugh
DIRK: What?
DIRK: You ok there?
DAVE: .....
DAVE: .....
DAVE: yeah
DIRK: That doll.
DIRK: That was Cal, right?
DAVE: yeah
DIRK: Right.
DIRK: My version is "empty", apparently.
DIRK: Whatever that means.
DAVE: huh
DAVE: how do you know that
DIRK: A source.
DIRK: One supposedly knowledgeable in jujus.
DIRK: I never quite knew what that meant, though.
DAVE: well
DAVE: whatever his was
DAVE: "empty" is never how i would have described it
DIRK: Hmm.
DAVE: man
DAVE: i dunno if i figured something out here
DAVE: like um "explained" something or
DAVE: if im just driving myself crazy with this talk and nothing even needs explaining
DAVE: it doesnt change my past or how i feel about him
DAVE: he was still pretty much awful no matter what the reason
DAVE: and im sure thats the only feeling ill ever have about him
DAVE: so who cares why it was like that
DIRK: Yeah...
DIRK: That...
DIRK: All sounds really bad.
DIRK: I don't know what to say though.
DIRK: Maybe I shouldn't say anything.
DIRK: Since I just remind you so much of him, for, uh. Obvious reasons.
DIRK: I don't want to make you feel worse, or make it sound like I'm offering a defense.
DIRK: For him, or me.
DIRK: Because I don't have one.
DIRK: For either of us.
DAVE: come on man
DAVE: YOU didnt do anything
DAVE: this was just some douche bag with your exact dna, who happened to grow up to be my bro
DAVE: you had a completely different life full of like
DAVE: different choices and actions and stuff
DAVE: and even if you were gonna turn out like him youve barely cleared the half way mark on actually chronologically gettin there
DAVE: in some way ranting about all this is probably just uncool of me because...
DAVE: you arent him
DAVE: youre not resposible for any of this shit but im sorta implicitly tacking it on you anyway
DAVE: so
DAVE: sorry about that
DIRK: I'm not sure it's true though.
DIRK: At least, I don't feel that way.
DAVE: what way
DIRK: That I'm not him.
DIRK: The fact is, I am.
DIRK: It's something I've come to understand about myself.
DIRK: All splinters of me are basically me, no matter how much I want to resist that truth.
DIRK: Or pretend they aren't reflecting my own qualities back at me.
DIRK: I bear a certain responsibility for all of them.
DAVE: splinters...?
DIRK: Yeah.
DIRK: I guess the concept isn't that unique to me.
DIRK: We've all got other versions of ourselves running around here and there, throughout the various compartments of this messed up cosmos.
DAVE: right
DIRK: I just happen to be particularly connected to mine.
DIRK: I've felt...
DIRK: Haunted by them.
DIRK: And what that really means is, I'm perpetually haunted by my own bad qualities.
DIRK: So, when I hear about stuff I did in another reality,
DIRK: I'm not sure what my adult self might have ever tried to do to atone for that stuff, if anything...
DAVE: pretty much dick squat
DIRK: Yeah. But in any case,
DIRK: I'm sure I was completely in the wrong, and I'm sorry I messed up your life.
DAVE: ...
DAVE: thanks
DAVE: but
DAVE: it still feels a little odd accepting an apology from somebody who i just met and technically had nothing to do with my life
DAVE: even if you do feel guilty splinterways or whatever
DAVE: it is just a messed up situation
DAVE: and i guess i had to vent
DAVE: and there was never anyone i wanted to say all that to
DAVE: and the only thing that was gonna drag it out of me i guess was like a teen stand-in phantom of my dead bro
DAVE: just some perfectly innocent dude havin to take the brunt of this shit
DIRK: I'm not particularly innocent though.
DIRK: I've messed a lot of things up.
DIRK: With my friends.
DIRK: Honestly, that's why I wasn't that bent on sticking around, when I showed up.
DIRK: And pretty much jumped at the offer of flying here to get ready for some yet to be explained battle.
DIRK: Battles are easy. Just you, a sword, some bad guys... it's a lot simpler than having to answer for things you did.
DIRK: For the most part, I feel pretty bad about the role I played in my friends' lives.
DIRK: Especially Jake.
DAVE: what happened there
DIRK: I don't even know.
DIRK: An unmitigated disaster for which I'm entirely to blame.
DIRK: It's not any one thing. I think I was just a completely toxic element in his life from day one.
DIRK: I don't know what he's doing now.
DIRK: I wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to avoid me as much as possible.
DIRK: I'm sure that's for the best.
DIRK: I think I need to stay out of his business for a good while, so I don't risk poisoning another innocent kid's life.
DIRK: Like I did with you, apparently.
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: i mean
DAVE: maybe its a little different cause relations between peers is a whole other thing
DAVE: its tricky shit and youre both figuring stuff out on a relatively equal footing and youre both at the same point in your lives
DAVE: its not like when one person is older and supposed to be a lot more...
DAVE: never mind this is a fucked up thing to think about
DAVE: but the bottom line is yeah laying low while you sort out your stuff cant hurt
DIRK: Right.
DIRK: The thing with that, with my adult self's...
DIRK: Ways.
DIRK: The sad thing is,
DIRK: I can really see it.
DIRK: How someone like me can go unchecked in life, and turn out to become a much worse person than I already am.
DIRK: I guess I'm just relieved I still have some time to make sure that doesn't happen.
DAVE: you dont actually seem like a bad person to me though
DIRK: No?
DAVE: nah
DIRK: Why not?
DIRK: We did just meet, after all.
DAVE: because
DAVE: i dunno if truly bad people wrestle so much with whether theyre good or bad
DAVE: i think if i ever sensed my bro like
DAVE: struggled at all with what he was doing or who he was
DAVE: or showed any sort of doubt
DAVE: that might have changed everything
DAVE: but there was never a crack in it
DAVE: or the slightest hint of introspection behind the aggressive cooldude facade
DAVE: if there was i sure never noticed
DAVE: i mean personally
DAVE: i think about it all the time now
DAVE: what it actually means to be good or bad
DAVE: or if not something that starkly moral
DAVE: at least just trying to examine the difference between being decent and being a douche
DAVE: maybe its because of him i worry about that now
DAVE: but for me i think that internal struggle is kind of mild
DAVE: for him...
DAVE: or you i mean
DAVE: it sounds like some pretty dark shit
DAVE: like grappling with...
DAVE: becoming evil vs simply trying not to
DIRK: Yeah.
DIRK: That's not too far off.
DAVE: but the point is
DAVE: even just talkin to you a little bit
DAVE: its obvious youve been fighting with that
DAVE: which means that you care enough to put in some effort
DAVE: i think that counts for something
DIRK: Maybe.
DIRK: Not sure if I'm ready to accept a pat on the back for recognizing I have some problems, and worrying about whether they'll destroy me and fuck up the people I care about.
DIRK: That might be setting the bar kind of low.
DAVE: well when it comes to the subject of him
DAVE: the bars already pretty low dude
DIRK: The weird thing, honestly,
DIRK: Is that it's actually kind of refeshing to hear a sincerely leveled critique of all my negative qualities, coming from another person invested in a relationship with me, rather than from a fucked up iteration of myself as some bizarre "trollish" form of self abuse.
DIRK: The only thing I've ever been exposed to are either various forms of self loathing either from me or my auto-responder, or attitudes completely oblivious to my real issues, as expressed through my friends.
DIRK: My friends always seemed to cut me so much slack, or were just never aware of the kind of person I really was.
DIRK: Well, Jake probably is, by now at least.
DIRK: But he's also the sort of guy who's just as likely to blame himself for stuff I did, as he is to blame me.
DIRK: Jane and Roxy, though.
DIRK: Never seemed to see anything wrong with me.
DIRK: If anything, just the contrary.
DIRK: Roxy in particular had a certain... fixation.
DIRK: She meant well, but was so enamored of me, and seemingly everything I did.
DIRK: Which I think was the last thing I needed.
DIRK: To be idolized in some form by other people I respected.
DIRK: I had enough of that feeling coming from within, particularly when I was younger.
DIRK: And since then, I've been plagued by the insane ego of my youth in the form of an artificial intelligence I designed which essentially trapped that state of mind in a sort of horrid suspended animation.
DIRK: Until... recent developments, of course.
DAVE: so
DAVE: was that stuff true
DAVE: when you said you idolized the other version of me
DIRK: Yeah.
DAVE: and not just some bullshit like how i used to say the same thing about my bro when i didnt know any better
DIRK: It's definitely not like that.
DIRK: I never lived with him, or met him, so couldn't have anything like the contentious relationship you had with my older self.
DIRK: He was a historical figure from centuries ago.
DIRK: There was a lot to admire, and think about fondly.
DIRK: Especially since I was alone, and never had any direct contact with another person, or any concept of civilization.
DIRK: So even though I'm sure I romanticized what his life was like, and the early 21st century in general,
DIRK: It was nice to think about you.
DIRK: I passed a lot of time that way.
DAVE: you say there was a lot to admire
DAVE: like what
DIRK: Well...
DIRK: He was pretty famous.
DIRK: Made some successful movies.
DIRK: At least under a somewhat expansive definition of "success".
DIRK: And an even more expansive definition of "movie".
DIRK: His work accumulated a lot of subversive political influence, which got him in trouble later.
DIRK: He made like a million bullshit Statues of Liberty, scummed them up with jpeg artifacts, and littered them all over the planet.
DAVE: holy shit
DIRK: He was also a pretty badass swordsman, and an active member of the resistance movement.
DIRK: He slaughtered the clown presidents on the roof of the White House, and flew away on a shitty skateboard.
DIRK: Then it seems he gave the Batterwitch a pretty good run for her money.
DIRK: It wasn't enough, but at least he went down fighting.
DAVE: that
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: ima need to hear more details on this some time
DIRK: Sure.
DIRK: But as you can tell, clearly there was a lot to look up to.
DIRK: I thought about the examples you set constantly. The creative ideals, the advanced theories on irony and humor, the tales of courage and martial prowess.
DIRK: Really, I modeled everything about myself after you. Or at least everything good that I was trying to become.
DIRK: And I probably spent an embarrassing amount of time imagining what it would be like to live during his time, and to be able to have something resembling a sibling relationship, or be in some sort of master-apprentice situation.
DIRK: When I finally learned you existed, and started to understand who he really was in relation to me, that put a lot into context.
DIRK: I realized he was a version of you who got a chance to live up to his full potential.
DIRK: And when I understood there was a young version of you, in a situation sorta like mine, whose time on Earth got cut short when you were thrown into all this,
DIRK: I was at least happy to think there was some reality where you got the chance to do everything you wanted to do, be successful, and fight for all the right things.
DIRK: Even if ultimately it didn't lead to a great outcome for humanity, you had an opportunity to live a full life and show what you were made of.
DIRK: While I guess I had... the same opportunity on your world, somewhat less fortunately.
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: but then for all my bitching i guess i still never grasped your full reality
DAVE: just like you probably didnt grasp mine, but just reading into the mindset of a historical figure as best you could
DAVE: what if i wasnt as heroic as it seemed?
DAVE: what if adult me was kinda douchey too in a way you couldnt observe
DIRK: Perhaps.
DIRK: But beyond a certain point, I think accomplishments speak for themselves.
DIRK: I dunno if you can just completely shred every person who ever did great things because they had some flaws.
DIRK: All I can say is, it was important to me to see him the way I did.
DIRK: As a good person who inspired me, and set the standard for what I wanted to be.
DIRK: It kept me going.
DIRK: That said, I'm also glad there's this version of you who got to go through all the things you've been through.
DIRK: Like, yeah, you didn't get to be the cool celebrity who cuts down juggalos on badly defaced government property.
DIRK: And the idea of a "normal life" was rudely taken from you, and it's something you'll never get to experience.
DIRK: But this is so much more challenging, and uncertain.
DIRK: You get to apply all that potential you showed in one reality to something much bigger and more existentially critical.
DIRK: Whatever strength you showed in trying to save a dying planet, the fact is, I think we need that more here.
DIRK: And the trials inherent in being a part of something like this, I think they bring more out of you than a relatively pedestrian life on Earth would. Make you face more things about yourself. At least, that's been true for me.
DIRK: But it sounds like it's been true for you too.
DIRK: It sounds to me like the experiences you've had changed you a lot, for the better.
DIRK: You mentioned the experiences with him that were designed to make you stronger have actually made you weaker, but really, I doubt that's true.
DIRK: I bet you've become stronger than you realize, not because of anything he did, but because of what you've done, and the ways you've changed yourself through your own effort.
DIRK: I hope it doesn't come off as overly sentimental garbage, but it seems to me like you turned out to be a really good dude.
DIRK: Like, really, a better sort of dude I ever imagined talking to when I pictured meeting the legendary guy I idolized.
DIRK: I pictured him as probably being "too cool" to be the type of guy you are.
DIRK: But you know what, fuck being too cool for that.
DAVE: ...
DAVE: you
DAVE: ...
DAVE: ...
DAVE: ...
DAVE: you dont think im cool?
DIRK: Nah.
DIRK: I mean, in the right way, yes. I think you are.
DIRK: But, in the way that doesn't mean anything and doesn't matter,
DIRK: Not particularly.
DAVE: ...
DIRK: Anyway, that's...
DIRK: All my "stuff", with respect to your other self.
DIRK: Again, there's a lot more I could say about him.
DIRK: Maybe stuff you should know, or maybe it's all irrelevant to the path you're on now.
DIRK: Regardless, I'd be more than willing to answer any questions you have about him.
DIRK: Or, anything really.
DIRK: Feel free to ask me whatever, ok?
DAVE: ...
DAVE: yeah
DAVE: i
DAVE: ill have to think

yknow if i actually get brave enough to tell my mom to fuck off & live w my dad instead i have no idea what to do about. my lifetime of not treating him right and doing a lot of scummy practices
he obviously knows my mom so he will believe me ( actually hes always suspicious that shes doing something bad and he's 99% right all the time ) but its. mmmm
"why did you put up with that when I'm there?" i dont . know! im not very strong or brave. but ill die before i say some shit like 'im actually after all a child and she manipulated me' bc admitting that im not a reasonable mature adult who takes 100% correct decisions 100% all the time is an actual ego death for me.
i feel really annoyed with my entire family and even contempt that i was brought to this world, because its obvious no one involved actually wanted a normal happy family life and couldn't be bothered with it so i just. feel a lot of hate that they treated marriage and family and Reproduction as just. easy no big deal things.
both of my parents are just. kinda. not great people. in distinctly different ways, but atleast my dad is changing to the better and is trying! he isnt a narcissist, unlike my mom who as time goes on gets more and more angry and obnoxious and narcissistic because whos going to stop her? the man she divorced? or her family who enables her every wish?
my dad will definitely be angry but unlike my mom it won't be for nothing and it'll actually be reasonable. i just hope nothing too bad happens and he forgives me in the end
especially because i am also cursed with being female, for just about everyone who sees my mother & i will think " awww a mother daughter pairing <3 obviously the daughter loves and mimics her mom!!" even more than a son of her. and personally throughout my life I've tried my damnest hardest to Not be like her. but because of the gender and blood i am forever linked to her & thought to be her shadow.
what a blessing for a mother to get a girl! she gets another chance at life except with a slimmer, better body not yet ruined by pregnancy. she gets to choose her favourite outfits and hairstyles and hobbies all over again. unlike a son where he's a seperate individual being a daughter is obviously just an extension if not another verison of her mother.
but i really... am not feminine to begin with. compared to other girls ive been more of a creature that anything else.
im getting off topic. just idk. i cant predict the future so inshallah all goes well and my dad turns out to be better than my mom and i get to live w him with the least amount of nuclear bomb damage possible

okay time to make a little fnaf theory.
RUIN SPOILERS BELOW!!!
so by now everyone who’s played ruin is trying to figure out the ending and Gregory’s whole speech and wether it was actually him or not right. and though this theory isn’t necessarily leaning towards one side or the other, i just noticed something that i haven’t really seen anyone else talking about? and i feel like it might be some important details.
so the whole reason Gregory supposedly dropped the elevator was to keep the mimic from following Cassie and escaping, right? but that elevator isn’t the only way out. Cassie literally broke down a cement wall to get to the mimic, it very well could just walk its way out that way to the other elevator, Cassie or no Cassie. especially since the elevator Cassie went on to go down isn’t the same one she got on to go back up.
Tumblr media
(yes i was watching jack manifold, it was convenient)
this is the elector Cassie gets on to go down to the fnaf 6 location. It has the double doors in the back, with the arrows and the green button on the other side.
Tumblr media
This is the elevator Cassie gets on to escape. No back doors, no arrows, and it has grate-like doors that close behind her. It’s also noticeably wider. And other than the very obvious differences, it can’t be the same elevator since Cassie also descended several stories below the original one without ever going back up.
So despite Gregory supposedly having maps of the underground area, he didn’t realize that this wasn’t the mimics only route of escape? maybe he thought that the mimic would only follow or wanted Cassie, so he dropped her? I don’t know, if there’s a reason you guys can think of let me know, but Gregory’s whole explanation of “not being followed” just doesn’t quite seem to add up anymore when the mimic can literally just go around the other side through candy cadets area.
but this realization also leaves me with more questions. where does the other elevator actually go? i don’t think we see anything like it in the actual pizzaplex, or anywhere else we’ve been in security breach or ruin. and honestly, i’m kind of confused how there are “schematics” for the whole chase scene area, considering they are dirt tunnels. what were they for? idk ruin left a lot of questions. the wide size of the second elevator makes me think people could have possibly used it for transferring large supplies for construction (or animatronics), but it’s decrepit state makes it seem like it hasn’t been used in a loooong time. who knows if the owners of the pizza plex even knows about it.
I DONT KNOW i’m just kind of rambling, i have a lot of thoughts about fnaf, and if i overlooked any huge or tiny details that would make this make sense, please tell me. but yeah, just thought that was weird :/

Hiii! I just wanna say I loved the “wrong idea” one shot for Jake sm 😭❤️ could I please request Jake X reader confessing to each other for the first time?
right idea (jake kim x reader)
details: fluffy oneshot, gender neutral reader but written in 2nd pov, general canon au but big deal lives in a big house together or something and nothing bad ever happened, you and jake are friends-turned-lovers
summary: you and jake confess to each other <3
a/n: HII im so glad u enjoyed "wrong idea" its one of my most favorite things i put up on this blog 😭😭💖 and ofc, thank u for requesting !! 💘 i wrote this as kind of like a pt 2 to wrong idea for a little more silly big deal antics, hope u dont mind >:]
×
"Damn. Jerry was right about you two just napping together." The boy named nodded wisely as Brad continued, "But putting that aside, it's so obvious you guys like each other. What's the holdup?"
Jake could only thin his lips at that. "Honestly, I'm wondering the same thing."
Sinu lightly whacked his shoulder. "Well then get to it!"
Jake slapped him back, and not as lightly. "You JUST started dating Yeonhui a literal week ago while you've been pining for her for 10 whole ass years, don't try to scold me!"
"Okay, but--" Sinu struggled trying to come up with a counterargument while the rest of the men around laughed. "--No, listen! Take it from me as a lesson learned! If you don't act now, either you lose your chance or you'll die with your feelings!"
"Then I guess I'm taking my feelings to the grave."
Lineman exclaimed, "Are you kidding?! Where's the brave, courageous Jake we know?!"
"Okay, first off, you guys exaggerate my positive traits way too much. Secondly, even the strongest of people are weak in the face of love." As his friends groaned and started yelling about this and that, Jake just put his hands out in front of him and waved them. "Alright! I get it! But you guys should see where I'm coming from. I know it sounds cheesy but..." He sighed in embarassment, rubbing at his nape. "I just don't want to ruin what I have with them."
"Dude, they obviously like you, too," Jason deadpanned, "You're not gonna ruin anything. You'll actually make everything better if you confess. I promise."
"We promise," Brad corrected as Jason rolled his eyes and Lineman and Sinu were nodding along to the statement.
Jake just scrunched his nose. It was reassuring to see how encouraging his friends were, but it didn't ease the uncertainty in him. He felt confident if he confessed and you rejected, he could easily pretend nothing happened between you two but he was worried about what you would do. Ultimately he'd understand if you didn't want to stay friends with him after that but then he'd just wish he kept his mouth shut so you two could continue your friendship.
He snapped out of his worried thoughts when he felt Jerry's hand on his shoulder.
"The choice is yours to make, Jake. We're here to support you no matter what."
"Thanks, Jerry," Jake replied with a little laugh. "I'll see what I decide to do."
Sinu clicked his tongue. "Now or never, little brother."
Jake sighed.
~
For the first time in his life, Jake Kim gave in to peer pressure. Well, not really, he did want to do this, too, but it was also definitely peer pressure. After some "mean encouragement" from Samuel and his friends "threatening" to be his wingmen ("No, you guys can't be there when I confess"), he finally gathered the courage to tell you his true feelings.
As important as this was for him, he didn't want to be dramatic about it. It'd be quick and casual, and maybe that'd make it easier to gloss over if you didn't feel the same.
"Wait, but that might make them think I'm joking." Jake shook his head. "No, I already set up the tone. They know when I'm joking and when I'm not, and I told them I had something important to tell them." Least he could do was hope you wouldn't burst into laughter.
He ended up laying in his bed and staring at his ceiling for a few minutes, doing his best to calm his heartbeat until you finally entered his room.
"Did you get in trouble?" was the first thing you asked as you peeked your head in.
"Kind of." A nervous smile was beginning to form on his lips as you shut the door behind yourself and joined him in bed, flopping down next to him.
You had a goofy smile on your own face, reflecting the lighthearted mood. "Okay, so what happened? It's so serious you have to tell me in person?"
"I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me otherwise," he hummed, before awkwardly going silent. He cleared his throat as you stared and quietly continued, "Listen, uh. I'm not good at this kind of thing, so I'm just gonna come out and say it."
At this point you were starting to get an idea of where this was going. Still, you wouldn't believe it 'till you heard it--
"I love you."
Oh. He really didn't hesitate, huh?
You felt like you were sweating rivers, leaving your throat completely parched. Of course the feeling was mutual, but you just needed a few seconds to take this in and make sure it was real.
The silence you gave Jake made him start blushing.
"Do you... do you feel the same, too?"
You slowly nodded.
"Thank god." Jake slapped his hands over his face, beginning to laugh as relief settled in. "I had a feeling you felt the same, but I didn't want to get overconfident."
Some blush entered your cheeks as you wondered if you ever made your crush look obvious. "Well... good thing I like you back, then."
"...Yeah."
There was an awkward pause as you two took a moment to process what the hell just happened. You, confused and still in disbelief; Jake, glad and mildly surprised you didn't reject him. The feeling in common, though? The strangeness felt with the tension still in the air. The unspoken was already said and yet the both of you were tense.
"So." Jake turned to lay on his side and face you, propping his head up with an elbow. "Are we dating now?"
You glanced at him. "I mean if two people say they like each other and want to date one another, then yeah?"
"That makes sense."
There was another pause that painfully dragged on until you both made proper eye contact. As soon as that happened, laughter broke out.
"I-I'm sorry," Jake tried to say between laughter, "This is just... this went a lot better than I thought. Like, way more smoothly than anticipated."
"And a lot more awkward," you added, also between laughter, as you slowly eased up. "I mean, I don't know what I expected but laying in bed with you as you casually blurt out, 'I love you'?"
"Okay, that's on me. I wanted this to be more romantic, too, but I was nervous, alright? At least I actually initiated the confession."
You playfully rolled your eyes. "Well, to be fair, I was also thinking about confessing. Maybe I'd never get around to doing it, but it's the thought that counts!"
And now it was his turn to roll his eyes. "Yeah, right."
Addressing the awkwardness was all it took to make you both feel more comfortable, it seemed, because the next quietness that fell was much more peaceful.
It lasted until Jake said, "I'll take you on a really romantic date tomorrow to make up for this bad confession."
"Yeah?" You smiled at him, a mischievous twinkle in your eye.
He reflected it back. "Count on it. For now though... we should do something with how anticlimactic my confession turned out." As you raised a brow, red entered his cheeks and his gaze fell to the side. "Nevermind. The more I think about this, the more I feel like cringing--"
You were already laughing. "No, no, say it."
Jake Kim was not about to give in to peer pressure again. But you were his partner now so nevermind. "I was just gonna say..." He looked back at you. "We should do the cliche thing and kiss like characters in a romance movie do after confessing to each other." Immediately you burst into more lighthearted laughter and he groaned while falling back down to lay on his bed. "I told you it was cringy..."
You teased, "C'mon, this is real life, Jake. Things like that don't happen."
He just replied in a singsong voice, "Well, with you my life's a movie."
"Oh, shut up!" You couldn't help but laugh even more at his cheesiness and he took the chance to pull you in. "Hey--!"
"At least allow me to do this." He didn't wait for your reponse as he gave your cheek a kiss, pulling away with a grin. Seeing your flustered expression was enough for him.
As for you: you felt pretty satisfied, too. This wasn't the first time he had kissed your cheek, but it was with him as your boyfriend.
You could definitely get used to this.
