hey there! how about a scenario with luxiem + reader where the reader walks in not knowing they're streaming in their shirt? (reader never wore their shirt) and they just die inside because reader's so <33
IS THAT MY SHIRT??
a/n: oh my gosh! my first request!! thank you so much for requesting! also, sorry if shu’s is a little ooc, i don’t watch his streams as often as others. sorry😓 but again, thanks for requesting! i love this concept and i made sure to make it very fluffy. i hope you enjoy!!
⚠️warnings⚠️ kissing, lowercase intended, cussing, idk if there’s anything else, but please tell me if there is!!
WORK IS BELOW THE CUT!!
All: after getting out of a nice warm shower, you go to you and your partners shared bedroom and look through your clothes for some comfy pajamas, but it seems that you only have formal shirts. no way are you wearing those to bed. you decide to take a look at your partners shirts and see that they have a bunch of comfy shirts and decide to wear one of theirs. after you’re done changing, you walk into the kitchen to get some water, and as you’re walking, you hear your partner in their streaming room. you decide that you’ll get your partner some water and make your way to the kitchen. after you make you both waters you walk to the streaming room and open the door quietly as to not alarm the viewers and your partner. you set down the glass next to your partner and they look up at you, giving you a smile. as you smile back, you look at your partner and…
Vox Akuma 
his eyes widen and he starts coughing. 
“sorry kindred, i spilled some water. give me a second to clean it up.” he says as he mutes himself. 
after he’s for sure he’s muted, he gets up and walks over and hugs you. 
“you’re so adorable.”
“whoa vox where is this coming from?” you say
“my shirt! you’re wearing my shirt! and it’s so cute!”
“ohhh haha yeah sorry about that, i had no more comfortable shirts and i saw that you had a ton so-“
he cuts you off with a kiss.
“shhh no need to explain it, just wear my clothes more often, kay?”
“sure vox” you say smiling.
Mysta Rias
“wow” he says. 
you look at him like 🤨”what?”
and he’s like, totally speechless. 
he just stares at you. 
“wow” he says again, muting himself, not even caring that chat is blowing up. 
“what?” you say, laughing a bit. 
“why’re you wearing my shirt?” he says with a smirk. 
“because i look hot in it.” you say sarcastically. 
“hell yeah you do.” he says kissing you. 
Ike Eveland
he mutes himself as soon as he sees you enter the room. 
hey y/n, thanks! he says, referring to the glass of water you brought him. 
“mhm!” you say, smiling
“nice shirt” he says smoothly
“thanks!” you say, forgetting you’re wearing his shirt. you look down and look back up at him like: 😒😑 wow
“you’re so funny” you say sarcastically. 
“thank you so much!😁” he says, smiling from ear to ear. little do you know his stomach is doing flips and his heart is skipping beats because of how precious you look. 
Luca Kaneshiro
this man doesn’t even notice
“thanks😁” he says after muting himself
“of course” you say smiling
he only notices as you’re walking out. 
“hold on”
“hm?” you say
“…pog” he says
“what’s pog” you ask
“you🫦” he says
“i’m leaving, bye” you say walking out, trying not to laugh
“no no wait! what i meant was that you look pog- i mean, cute!” he says, stumbling over his words. 
“it’s okay luca, i know what you meant. thank you.” you say giving him a kiss on the cheek. 
“…..pog”
Shu Yamino
😳
that was his exact expression
bro was flabbergasted
just stared at you with that expression which kinda scared you. 
chat was like: ??? why you no talk ???
and then he just snaps out of it and starts stuttering
“uh-i-uhm-hey-*LOUD COUGH*”
“hey hey are you okay?” you say, handing him the glass of water
“yeah yeah i’m fine” he says after taking a sip.
by now chat is BLOWING UPPP with: who is that?? shu has a partner?😏what’s going on???
“gimme one second chat” he says as he mutes himself. 
“WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME Y/NNNN” he screams, falling to the ground with his hand on his heart. 
“woah shu what’s wrong?! what did i do?! are you okay?!”you say, getting on your knees to get a closer look at him
“yes yes i’m fine don’t worry… BUT WHY ARE YOU WEARING MY SHIRTTT ITS TOO CUTEEEE” 
“oh my gosh you are such a drama queen” you say getting up
“you wound me” shu says frowning
“okay okay i’m sorry” you say, kissing his nose
“it’s okay! kisses make me feel better!” he says happily, knowing that both you and him will be showered with kisses.

Mtl (most to last) to have an s/o who is really confident, sassy and funny, Li, ik that everyone would love to have one but who would enjoy it the most?
hi, sato!! sorry for taking so long to answer your request. i hope you like it!! 💗
taehyun: of course our dear kang taehyun would LOVE a sassy and confident s/o. it matches his vibe, you know? a sense of humor that is very direct and honest is a must as well. it would be that kind of couple that you look at and go like: "wow, they are hot!" but not only because of the looks, the confidence just makes them seem soooo hot. ❤️‍🔥
͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏
yeonjun: it's math! every starboy needs his star. also, yeonjun's s/o would not only be confident and sassy, but VERY stylish. wears what they want and just doesn't care. their opinions would be very certain and very honest. a perfect match for yeonjun. 😽
͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏
beomgyu: especially the sassy part LOL. beomgyu needs someone who can keep up with his teasing manner. if he's teasing one of the boys, he needs a backup, yaknow? also, i can see beomgyu so proud for having a confident and self-sufficient s/o. he would 100% show them off, like: "see them? yes, im their boyfriend." 💋
͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏
hueningkai: huening would love so much a confident s/o. like straight adore them. he would worship them and want to keep them feeling proud of themselves. he would be the sweetest thing. entering a new restaurant and everybody is looking? a kiss on his s/o cheek and "you look pretty tonight" whisper in their ear. i also feel like kai would have a confidence boost but without him even noticing. huening just spends so much time with his love, that it happened naturally. and now is their turn to worship him. 😖
͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏͏ ͏
soobin: i feel like soobin would also be proud of having a s/o whos very confident. but i feel like he wouldn't necessarily show them off. instead, he would like to praise. whispering in their ear "i'm really proud of you." soobin is already confident, but i feel like having a s/o would twist something on him. like: "okay, now i'm gonna be unapologetically me." just because he wants to impress their s/o. 💞

Internal jokes with my friends I wanna explain to TXT
Disclaimer: This and each of my stories are only fiction and are not intended to offend or make anyone uncomfortable, if this type of content makes you uncomfortable, feel free to leave without resentment :]
Genre: Crack (?)
a/n: Lol, I just thought about this a few minutes ago and it's so silly, sadly our internal jokes are in Spanish bc we're Mexicans but I did my best trying to explain it, sorry if it's not funny but if you're Hispanic it'd make sense I guess
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[🌱] Choi Yeonjun
"Al power point"
So this is an evolution
In Mexico we have our own way of saying "Fr" which is "al chile"
So my friends and I made it evolution.
It passed from "al chile" to "al chili dog"
And then it passed to "al power point"
Let's be real, Yeonjun LIKES the dad's jokes
And even if this is not one of them, the fact that he's saying it while make it sound like a dad's joke.
Like imagine the members faces if they're gossiping about something and Yeonjun just says "al power point" out of nowhere
I can see Soobin's nasty look already
Tumblr media
(rest of the members under the cut)
[🌱] Choi Soobin
"Que risa cepillin"
Now this HAS context
Like, a lot
So it all started with this video (sfw link ig)
Translation of the video: Uhhhhh, It reminds me of my childhood, when I was in kindergarten and we did a play. Haaaaaaaa! What a laugh cepillin, you're a fool and stupid
Now, Cepillin is an icon in Mexico, he was a kids comedian who used to do TV variety shows and stuff
So the video is a meme of a hater of cepillin calling him stupid and "naco" (It doesn't have a literal translation, but it's used to refer to someone of very low class and without manners)
So my friends and I use it ALL the THE TIME when someone makes a bad joke
We just say like "Que risa cepillin, con tus payasadas" With The most sarcastic grin and then we drop the smile inmediatly
Believe me, it's hilarious
I'd explain it to Soobin bc mf is sassy as hell
"Beomgyu is too bratty to know that he's an introvert and Soobin is too introverted to know he's bratty too"
So I see him making fun of the members with this
Like, someone made the worst joke ever (Yeonjun saying "al power point" lmao)
And he'll just go "Que risa cepillin 😀😐"
Tumblr media
[🌱] Choi Beomgyu
"Cállate la bola"
Okay it literally means "shut the ball up"
Here comes the context:
So I had a sociology teacher that wasn't from Mexico (He was from Ecuador or Perú, idk & idc)
And whenever the class got too loud he shouted "Chicos, parenme bola!"
The literal translation is "Stop my ball"
But it's used as a way to say "Guys, pay attention"
But here in Mexico it sounds really bad lmao
Bc you're literally saying "stop my ball"
That kind of ball
So we make fun of it
So now my friends and I say "Cállate la bola" even if we're not talking at all lol
I would explain this to Beomgyu bc he's so loud and literally teases someone every time he breaths
So I think he'd say it to the members every 3 seconds even if they're not talking 💀
Tumblr media
[🌱] Kang Taehyun
"Totn"
Okay so, this started for a friend that texts like shit
Like, she wrote once that she was heterogeneous instead of heterosexual (straight)
So that happened, instead of writing "tonta/tonto" (silly or stupid), she wrote "totn" which can be pronounced like "toten"
And we started saying it all the time like, "Fucking totn" or "Que totn" (what a totn)
I see Taehyun using this one because I don't see him as someone who swears a lot.
So this "insult" is perfect for him
Like, I can see him making fun of one of the members mistake, like, chuckling with a shit eating smirk and saying "Ha, totn" or even "Fucking totn"
Tumblr media
[🌱] Kai Kamal Huening
Any Spanish word with the termination "eta/ete"
Example:
Cocina (kitchen) = cocineta
Lápiz (pencil) = lapicete
So, idk if Kai swears
Like, ik I'm babying him but let's say he doesn't
So my friends are ALWAYS adding and "eta/ete" to EVERYTHING
With the most annoying tone ever I swear
So I see Kai doing the same to tease his members
Especially with fake aegyo
Something like "Can I have the manzaneta?" (manzana = apple) while doing aegyo
His members are so tired of him by now
Like he'll call them "miembretes" as "miembros" (members) when he wants to taste the patience
I also see him saying "ojete" as "ojo" which means eye, but "ojete" means anus LMAO

Rewatching Ninjago
(With no context other than the episode)
Possession 1-2
Museum security man talking to a statue: put up all your hands lord Garmadon! Thats right, ninjago wont be seeing the likes of you anymore. Good riddance.
This is the worst way to start a season right when I just saw Garmadon die.
Security man: is anyone there?!?! I know spinjitzu! Im legally required to say ive unlocked my true potential!!!
HFNSIFNDJNRNS
The ninja are so happy and calm and found family-like i think im gonna cry
THERES TOO MUCH FUN BANTER FOR ME TO TYPE DOWN 😭
Ik this is weird and maybe a bit mean but now that Garmadons gone Kai and Lloyd seem a lot closer. I feel like now someone needs to step in as a parental/sibling figure for him and I think thats sweet
Kai: Luckily I had my sister to watch over me. Don’t worry big shot, ill watch over you from now on
Love them.
Ooooooo Wus tea shop. Doesnt that have a few mini episodes?
It was so funny how Wu kept dodging Nya as she tried to help him carry the stuff
Zane: that appears to be work attire. Not ninja suits.
Wu: very observent Zane 😌
Wu's genuinely very sweet at times
Istg if they call for the green ninja and then arrest him immediately im gonna be so pissed
BFNDJFNSN WHY DID THE SECURITYS MANS VOICE CHANGE SO DRASTICALLY
wait.
Morro, Come on. give the boy a break.
Lloyd as hes being surrounded by morro and the security guard is a safe distance away with the armor: QUICK! GIVE ME THE ARMOR.
Not your best thought process Lloyd.
Guards 1: if you could choose to be any ninja, who would you be?
Guard 2: Kai! Hes the main one right?
Guard 1: no thats Lloyd, hes-
Thats actually so funny
Jay: take, take the flyer. WHY WONT YOU TAKE THE FLYER.
Bdisnfjdjsntne
Kai: no ones listening to us
Jay: it's like they think im carrying a communicable disease!
Maybe because your screaming in their faces.
Jay and Kai: our powers arent working!
Cole (holding a car): what do you mean your powers arent working- oh no.
ZANES ROBOTIC SCREAMING IS SO FUNNY 😭
Zane (crashes through the floor)
Kai: I think he broke the sound barrier 😀
Guys ik hes made of titanium but you didnt even TRY to catch him
Wu: You used your powers!?!?!
Jay: yeah- I know, we’re horrible students. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR POWERS
Morro speaking through Lloyd: I want to speak with your master…
Jay: whoa, Lloyds gone through puberty
Bfjsnfjsnr yes Jay thats exactly what happened
Morros elemental power is actually incredibly strong
Kai (gets absolutely bodied and slammed against the ground)
Little girl: get up! You have to! Ninja never quit 😠
Real sweet, but you have to understand that throw would have killed and broken the bones of so many other ppl
Its nice that they showed Misako saving the costumers i liked that
The ninja: (failing and failing again to defeat morro and getting brutally beat)
Nya: (topples a shelf onto him)
shes so great
Kai: im not leaving Lloyd! I promised to look after him.
(promptly gets punched in the gut by the same ‘lloyd’)
Goddammit
This is making me sad
Can you imagine your little brother have this completely other person possess him and attack you
Lloyd: Kai.. help me…
Dont do this to me 🥲
Its hilarious how the subtitles butcher Morros name any opportunity it gets
Jay: let me get this straight. Your just telling us now that you had a pupil before us, and now his cursed spirit has possessed Lloyd, all so that he can get your staff!?!?!?
See, Jay gets it.
Wu doesn’t tell them shit
Cole and Jay: why do you get to choose and pick the easy task!
Zane: because im the intelligent one :)
Its canon that autopilot on the bounty is just an inflatable darreth
Im sorry, when did Morro control electricity?
I mean i guess its fair since the first season Jay was able to use wind.
Okay but that move nya did was so cool
Zane. you fell through concrete. how is it that a box is the thing that knocks you unconscious.
Okay but WHY is the first spinjitzu masters tomb so important. What is morro gonna do? Bring his grandfather back from the dead?
Oooo even Zanes falcon is titanium
Wu storytime! Its been a while
Oh yeaaaah, i remember morro was adopted and ate out of trashcans when he was a kid
Morro was so sweet
He literally did nothing wrong
Why did wu tell him he might be the green ninja that was just straight up getting his hopes up
He couldnt have waited to try the golden weapons first before opening his mouth
Ok what wtf did Morro do to get cursed to the forbidden realm
Like who did he cross and WHY
Wu: you have to find the tomb. Or else….
Jay: or else what???
Wu: unspeakable curses will fall upon us
Unspeakable? Unspeakable as in terrible or as in you dont fucking know 🤨
The way Kai doesnt even care about the curse and just wants to get Lloyd back
Ok but istg if Morro drank alcohol at the bar in Lloyds body im gonna kill him
Bar guy: youre a little young to be at a place like this. Especially if you dont have friends.
Why are all these adult men surrounding this child they supposedly don’t recognize like what are you gonna do? Beat him up?
Kai had a nightmare about not saving Lloyd :(
I know ronin but I DONT know that the ninja knew him beforehand. When did they meet him before?
Okay so background characters DO recognize Lloyd
I guess it makes sense honestly, for some ppl to recognize him and for some not to. To some, Lloyds probably just looks a little sickly and dyed his hair black. To others theyre probably like ‘is that the green ninja???’ ‘Nah the green ninja has blonde hair thats just some dude.’
The Cole, Jay, And Zane dynamic has been strong these past two seasons. Love them.
Okay i get it guys it makes sense for Zane to lead bc of, ya know, everything. But cut Kai some slack hes trying his best 😭
What do you mean shes not ready Wu, Nya is perfectly capable.
Nya: (faints)
nvm…
So excited for her water ninja arc tho
Cole: i wonder why the tombs so important
Me too cole. Me too.
Also it took you this long to ask that.
Wait why are they riding yaks again, cant they summon their dragons….
The excuse before was that they couldnt control their fear but now theyre having the time of their lives so what gives 🤨
OH BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THEIR POWERS
I'm stupid
Cole: He turned my yak into a ghost! NO ONE turns my yak into a ghost!
Dont worry Cole youll be twinning soon :D
Ok if water kills ghosts then whatever tf Morro drank at the bar was not water

Mineta Being Disrespectful to (Y/N) HC Bakugou/Shinsou/Kirishima/Mirio
Tumblr media
Katsuki Bakugou:
Tumblr media
Bakugou is a very protective Of you
He loves everything about you like your skin regimen, your hair regimen, and everything you do to take care of yourself.
His secret guilty pleasure is doing facial routines with you and washing your hair. Don’t tell the other students shhh!
He also loves your taste in music, your taste in fashion, he also loves when you dance when you “think” you’re alone.
He also truly loves when you stand your ground against him and his crappy attitude. You shut everything down telling him that you are not the one to be a messed with, and tell him to check his attitude.
You are his queen, and a King should always protect his Queen.
So he basically walks with you everywhere, you only get your alone time when he’s off training.
When he walks with you, he holds your hand and he’s always close to you so other males realize that you are with him. He gives them glares, warning them and basically telling them “Don’t even try it.”
It seems like a Certain purple hair short monster didn’t get the picture.
When Mineta Approached you two in the hallway with a cocky smirk, you and Bakugou realize that you were about to hear some very offensive shit.
“Hey you Beautiful Curvy, Black, ThunderBolt! You know what they say: the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice. Can I get the chance to test that theory?”
Your Face was in pure disgust.
(You know like in Anime their eyes are shadowed over and your lips were a straight line as the background is like a dark blue lol)
Like everything he said to you was so disrespectful that you couldn’t even think of a comeback.
Bakugou grabbed Mineta by the collar of his shirt and pulled him up to the level of his raging eyes.
“Why you 3ft little ingrate! Apologize!!!! Do it now or I will regret the day you were born!” Bakugou threatened.
Mineta, who was shaking in fear, begged for his life and pleaded to the blonde to not unleash his explosive wrath on him.
“Mineta.” You started. “If you ever step to me with that weak ass game or any other game you like to play, I will step on you neck as I pull out your purple orbs until you’re bleeding and probably won’t stop after. Do you hear me you sorry excuse for a hero?!”
Bakugou stared with wide, proud eyes at you. He never seen you like this, and he have to say that he loved it. The whimper that Mineta gave snapped the Blonde back to reality.
Bakugou slammed Mineta against the lockers, giving him the same glare that he gave earlier. “I still didn’t hear an apology.”
Mineta apologized repeatedly, but Bakugou’s grip only got tighter around the grape student. Upset that Mineta KNOWS you to are the rice and still tried to shoot his shot.
“Listen here you little failure of a human, you know (Y/N) are together and you still came up to her flirting. I can’t stand a lot of things you do but what I really hate is the fact that you had thee AUDACITY To do try. If you try this again, Class A will have 1 less student. Got it?!”
Mineta fearfully nodded before Bakugou rolled his ass down the hall like he was a bowling ball. Adding a tiny explosion for extra push.
“I’m so sorry Teddybear..” Bakugou sighed to you. “Don’t apologize Babe, you did nothing but protected me. Thank you for making that runt apologize to me.” You said.
“No problem, but that can we talk about that sexy, angry, dark side of you? I never seen that side of you and I wanna know have I been rubbing off on you?” Bakugou smirked.
You chuckled as you rolled your eyes, you lightly pushed him off you and started heading to lunch.
Hitoshi Shinsou:
Tumblr media
Shinsou has always been the laid back type, pretty chill and tamed. Like it’s kinda hard to piss him off.
But if you do want to piss him off, there are a few ways to do so.
Call him a villain because of his quirk. He hates when people misunderstand him and don’t want to try to understand, he will be highly pissed off.
And mess his beautiful (Y/N) A.K.A his Kitty Kat. He treasures the hell out of you, you’re his sunlight to his gloomy days. His sulking lessened when he met you.
He loves laying on your chest as you play in his hair. He loves to hear your heartbeat, he loves how soft and warm you feel. You’re like a dream to him, and hearing your heartbeat makes him realize you’re real.
His favorite pastime with you is letting you braid his hair as you two chat. He feel so lucky to have you.
So imagine how he felt when he was walking to meet you at your locker, and saw you and Mina there, looking creeped out by the short purple pervert.
“How you doing today you nesquik milky chocolate queen?” He said with such a cocky smile. Did he really think that was appropriate?
You and Mina scoffed and rolled your eyes. “Mineta, you better run.” Mina said as she saw your Boyfriend standing there.
Shinsou stood there with a death glare, fist cleaning hard, he was trying so hard not commit murder. How dare he say those to you, his Kitty Kay?! Oh he’s gonna pay.
“Hey Mineta, How’s your day?” Shinsou said in a happy voice.
“Oh it’s going-”
Got him.
“Beat yourself up.” Shinsou command.
While the graped fucker beat himself, and Mina watched and laughed. Shinsou came up to you, putting his arm around your waist, pulling you close. “Are you alright?” Shinsou asked you.
“Yeah, but I think you should stop him before he beat himself into a coma.” You said. “He’ll deserve it.” He said. “Agreed.” Mina said.
“Babe.” You said looking at him, he groaned. “Apologize to (Y/N).” Shinsou demanded Mineta.
“I apologize (Y/N).” Mineta said. “Punch yourself one more time.” Shinsou ordered with a smirk on his face. When the bell rang, Shinsou released his quirk.
Mineta was groaning in pain, Shinsou bent down to his eye level, and looked him dead in his swollen eyes.
His glare was scary, and cold. “Don’t you ever approach my girlfriend like that ever again if you want to continue breathing. Got that Grape Shrimp?” He muffed him then walked back towards you.
“I see I’m going to have to escort you to classes with this grape menace running around.” Shinsou said
“Shinsou that was funny! Can I get you to do that to some people for me?” Mina asked as she walked away with you two
Eijirou Kirishima:
Tumblr media
Just like Shinsou, He’s kinda hard to piss off. I mean just look at him! He’s always smiling. (Oh smiley Magee head ass! Ik I love Kiri.)
You and Kirishima was close, meaning you two had feelings that either one of you were afraid to admit. So y’all hang out a lot because y’all like being around each other.
He loves when he listens to your music. You always have the greatest songs from Beyoncé to Chance the Rapper.
Whenever you pass him in the halls or around the dorms, he’ll pause his conversation or whatever he’s doing to come talk to you
And you, always loved talking to him. You loved his fangs whenever he smiled. You two would shyly flirt and talk to each other, you can basically hear Bakugou’s eye rolls.
“JUST FUCKING ASK HER, YA’ PUSSY!” Bakugou yelled from behind. He was tired of Kirishima talking about asking you out but never had the guts to do so.
“Ignore him, so I was wondering-”
Then Mineta came up to ruin this beautiful conversation, like he literally came out of no where.
“Excuse me Kirishima but I have something to say to (Y/N). How you doing, you Hershey Kiss beauty?”
Oh no he didn’t.
“Boy you better come correct when it comes to me!” You held your hand up, about to slap him when Kirishima stopped you.
“Mineta, I’ve put up with your constant creepy hook up line but I refuse for you to hit on (Y/N) like that. It’s not manly at all! Now apologize to (Y/N)!”
“Or what? You’re going to hit me? That’s not like you. That wouldn’t be manly now would it?” Mineta mocked.
That hit a nerve for Kirishima, he took in a deep breath, looked at Bakugou, and signaled him to come over.
“Apologize or Else.” Kirishima said. Mineta, who is unaware of Bakugou being behind him, folded his arms and refused. “Or else what?”
“Or else I’m gonna stomp you into the ground and create grape jelly out of you. You fucking short creepy fuck.” Bakugou said as tiny explosions popped from his hands.
Mineta stood frozen, looking between the three of you guys terrified. “Well, She’s waiting.” Kirishima said.
“That’s not fair! She’s not even your girlfriend!” Mineta whined.
“She is now, and she still hasn’t got her apology!” Kirishima said pulling you close. Butterflies are just flapping in your stomach as he held you in such a protective and claiming way.
“B-But.” Mineta tried.
“Bakugou…” Kirishima said, ready to send his feral friend onto the Grape Trash.
“Fine! Fine! I’m so sorry (Y/N)! I will never do it again! Please don’t send Bakugou on me!” Mineta begged.
“(Y/N) do you accept?” Kirishima asked. Kirishima will sick Bakugou on him If you didn’t.
“I do, but I still want Bakugou to beat him up.” You said. Bakugou smiled wickedly as he started his attack on Mineta.
You and Kirishima started walking away, and you looked at the red head with a cheeky smirk. “So, where we going on our first date since we’re a couple now.”
Kirishima blushed hard, tripping on words, he rubbed the back of his neck. You thought it was so cute. You grabbed his hand, “Don’t worry, I’ll pick the date.”
“No, I’m the guy. So I should show you an amazing time. I think I already know a place.” Kirishima said grabbing your other hand.
Mirio Togata:
Tumblr media
The most powerful student in the school.
And he is your boyfriend. And the Best and sweetest boyfriend you could ask for!
Just like Kiri, he’s Smiley Magee! But because he’s so positive, I don’t see him getting angry…
More like Stern seriousness, and when he’s like that, you better take him seriously.
You and him have this game y’all play. Where he pops in randomly, through a wall, ceiling, floor, door to drop some words you probably need to hear.
He isn’t a stalker with it, it doesn’t bother. You think it’s fun, trying to predict where’s he’s going to come from.
He loves popping in on your down time when you just relaxing and being natural. Popping in when you’re watching a movie or tutorials. Helping you learn, while learning himself.
He is a master at putting on False eyelashes and he loves brushing your hair as you talk about your day.
He never invade your space and you get particularly bored when he’s not around. Be looking around, hoping he pops up.
Anyways, back to main thing. You think as a 3rd, certain first years wouldn’t have the balls to talk to you. But One Small Menace thought otherwise.
Here we have Minoru Mineta, trying to shoot his shot with you, not realizing it never even made it in the basket. Especially with the disrespectful pick up line he opened with.
You and your girls were stretching in the yard and when Mineta and Dennis came up to you girls. “ How you are doing! My black thunder beauty?”
You face went complete stale, even his friend knew that wasn’t a way you talk to you or any female period. And he thought he was cute with the nickname because your quirk is Sonic Thunder.
Next thing you know, you see a strong hand come from the ground and grabbed Mineta by the leg. You smiled, you knew that hand! Then instantly, Mirio pops up from the ground like a fucking daisy!
“Is this seriously how you talk to women? Also, you do know (Y/N) is my Girlfriend right?” Mirio asked as he held Mineta by the leg. Mineta started babbling and begging to be put down.
“I don’t like what you said to her, and I suggest you apologize before it really becomes a problem.” Mirio threatened. Then out a small bit of smite, he shook the little shrimp a couple of times.
“I-I-I’m sorry (Y/N)! I never meant to offend you! And please tell him to put me down!” Mineta begged you. You and Mirio had playful smirks on your faces. You two tortured him for a couple more minutes by shaking him, making him dizzy.
“Alright Miri, let the little shrimp go. I think he learned his lesson.” You smirked. As Mirio dropped him, Mineta was a bit Dizzy.
You thwacked him on the head, for your payback. It knocked him down, but not out. So he could still listen.
“You should never approach someone like that ever again, that is somebody’s daughter, somebody’s sister! Treat them like they are humans.” Mirio told him.
You and your friends got up and surrounded Mirio, thanking him. Then you wrapped your arms around him, planting a kiss on his lips, making him blush bashfully.
“You girls wanna hit up a restaurant? I’m pretty sure you want to forget this just happened.” Mirio asked once he cleared his throat, he had to regain strength because you make him so weak.
“Now you know I love me some food!” You beamed to him, he grabbed your hand, smiling back at you as you start telling him how much you missed him.

no one asked but i’m gonna talk abt every ahs season now
murder house had a VERY strong start. from the very first scene it hooked me in BUT after two or three episodes it got boring. the only scenes i enjoyed were the flashbacks of previous owners of the house and most of the plot lines were very uninteresting. also i didn’t like the characters very much. ben was the WORST i hated him, vivian was fine but kinda boring, violet was boring, tate was terrible and i hated him. i rlly did not care abt vivian and bens relationship drama or abt tate and violets weird toxic asf relationship. the only characters i sort of liked were nora and addie and MAYBE constance but only bc i found her funny and i stan jessica lange. i think this season is massively overrated and most ppl only like it bc of tate
i didn’t like asylum very much when i was watching it but i’ve learned to appreciate it more. it had a very strong first ep and the last one or two episodes were AMAZING. the middle wasn’t great. i did not like the subplots and most of the time it felt like they lead nowhere. i did like the bloodyface plot and the whole possession thing tho. i actually liked most of the main characters too- lana, kit, sister jude, sister mary eunice. personally i think this was the scariest season and the most disturbing of the entire show. the rape scenes and conversion therapy scene scarred me for days. also objectively i think it’s one of the best written seasons and had the best acting, even though it’s not my favourite
i’ve never met anyone who didn’t like coven. and for good reason- i think it’s one of the best. all of the main characters were incredibly interesting and the actors were phenomenal. as much as i hated madame lalaurie kathy bates did an AMAZING job playing her and i rlly did love hate-watching her. i also loved the soundtrack and the overall vibe of the season. but i did find it slightly boring about half way through for maybe an ep or two. i was invested in finding the supreme at first but that storyline was not satisfying at all. tbh a lot of the storylines weren’t very good. also papa legba was scary asf. i also didn’t like zoe’s storyline or lack thereof. when she was introduced i assumed she was the main character but she rlly didn’t do much and then she died so.
freak show is one of the most hated ahs seasons, which is smth i never understood. when i was watching it i thought it was amazing. i rlly liked the level of effort put into the production of the season. from an objective pov it was incredibly well made. even the camera quality screamed 60s and i loved the costume design and the overall feel. i also rlly liked dandy as a villain. i thought he was unique- he was just an attention whore with mommy issues and you know what, me too, whereas most other ahs villains are supernatural creatures eg. ghosts, vampires etc. so i thought it was a nice change. as always happens with ahs, the subplots were all over the place and leading nowhere but at least i wasn’t bored at all. i also feel they could’ve focused on the freaks more. ik jimmy and bette and dot got tonnes of screen time but i wish amazon eve or the girl with no legs whos name idk got more lines. i also liked most of the characters except for dell and the creepy guy with the moustache who wanked in front of dell at one point. i even liked dandy as annoying as he was.
unpopular opinion but hotel is my favourite season, i think it has the best characters and relationships in the entire show. at first when i heard lady gaga was going to be in it i was nervous- i loved her music but i hadn’t seen her act before- but she played the countess SO WELL she was amazing. in general i think all of the characters were great- sally, iris, donovan, jpm and ofc liz taylor. tbh i could write an entire essay abt liz taylor bc i love her and i think she’s good trans rep and dennis o’hare played her immaculately. i also love how it had a happy ending which isn’t common in ahs. now i’ll have to be honest i didn’t care for most of the storylines. i liked liz and iris’ storyline and the countess was nice to watch for the most part but i rlly didn’t like the vampire thing. and my god i hated john and alex lowe they were SO BORING and mentally checked out of all their scenes
fun fact i finished roanoke in one day bc i hated it so much that i didn’t want to spend any more time on it. i did like the second half of the season mostly bc it was more of a comedy to me but i paid zero attention to the first half bc it was TERRIBLE. i rlly didn’t like any of the characters, maybe except ashley and agnes only bc they were funny but all the others can choke. the concept was rlly good but the execution was horrific. there were a few scary scenes but it rlly wasn’t as scary as everyone makes it out to be. or maybe i’m desensitised idk.
cult is hands down the most underrated seasons imo. from an objective standpoint it’s as well written as asylum and the acting is phenomenal, evan and sarah deserved awards for playing kai and ally. i don’t think any of the characters were particularly likeable, but i believe that’s the point. i also liked the political stuff and the realism of the season, which is why i found it scary. also the clowns. i definitely think it got dull around the middle but the ending was worth it bc it was AMAZING. especially the part where ivy died :) i can’t stress enough how much i loved evan this season. i hated kai with a passion but evan played him scarily well. ik one said this already but get this man an award. i didn’t like ally very much at the start (i definitely grew to like her) but sarah played her so well, as she does with every single role
apocalypse is the most overhyped season i’m sorry. i started it thinking it’d be good but i literally could not watch it. i think i got to episode 5 and completely gave up and i still haven’t finished it and i doubt it will. ig i liked seeing the witches come back and i liked billy porter playing in it but i rlly didn’t like any of the other characters. the hairdresser guy who’s name i don’t remember was funny ig and i do not the hype abt michael. like he’s kinda cute but that’s it he’s flavourless asf.
i haven’t seen 1984 yet but i will as soon as it’s on netflix i have read the headlines abt matty fresh and his bulge so i am not looking forward to that
btw this is all just my opinion, no one has to agree with it. i think your favourite season depends on what you value most. for example, some ppl may watch ahs for the scary parts and gore, while others may watch it for the plot. i personally watch shows and films for the characters and relationships/friendships between characters, which is why i like hotel and coven the most

Can you do a JaeYona fanfiction prompt for me? I want a story where Yona's problem with not eating for long periods of time when she gets really stressed resurfaces? I noticed that Yona had that problem mentioned a couple times in the series, but it never really gets brought up again, and I could see Jae Ha and some of the others getting really concerned over it. I hope this isn't too sudden, but I'm surprised that there aren't more fanfictions that bring it up and I'd like if somebody wrote one
Thanks so much for the prompt anon! I’m sorry this took me so long I’m working on my backlog of prompt immediately during current events hope you like this take for my Castle AU series where Yona is queen of Kouka
“Daddy! Daddy!” tiny voices could be heard running across the hallways of the palace as King Jae-ha turned to see his twin children rushing towards him. He was currently sitting with his cane watching Hak, Ura, Hawke and Shiro practice, Lina bouncing her 6-year-old Krystal in her lap and giggling at her silly siblings. The child squealed when she’d feel her unborn sibling kick at her, considering Lina was 6 months pregnant with her next child. Sitting next to her was her second daughter, Jin-ae, who was named after the first Queen of Kouka, Hiryuu’s wife.
 “Here comes Aki and Mido, Uncle Jae-ha.” Hinto, Shin-ah’s 10-year-old son chuckled as he at saw them coming with his dragon’s eye.
 “Aka-dori? Mido-ka? What is it?” Jae-ha asked once the two children arrived. They were 5 years old, the girl with long raven hair and the boy with short ginger hair.  The girl had clear blue eyes and the boy had green.
 “Mommy won’t eat!” Aki cried, whimpering. “The cooks don’t know what to do she didn’t eat breakfast and now she says she doesn’t want lunch.”
 Hak stopped his practice run and sighed, shaking his head. “… She’s still upset over…” he glanced to Zeno who nodded.
 “We all miss former Seiryuu and Hakuryuu.” The Yellow Dragon answered. “It didn’t help they passed only a year apart. Not to mention former Ryokuryuu lately has…”
 “Oh please, I’m just fine.” Jae-ha waved him off. “I mean seriously Lina’s 22 now, I honestly thought I would have long kicked the bucket by now.”
 “Yeah and you fell down the stairs the other day again, Droopy Eyes.” Hak growled. “You gave her a heart attack.”
 “Hak come on, you have enough on your plate.” Jae-ha looked at him sadly, after all Valerie had just passed away in childbirth a year ago. “No point in me bothering you all the time to get around.”
 “But I can help you uncle!” Shiro, the current 12-year-old Hakuryuu said while extending his arm.
 “Precious child.” Jae-ha hummed, petting the boy on the head. He sure had his father’s enthusiasm.
 Tetora smiled as she hugged her son from behind. “You’re always so eager to help.”
 “Really guys I’ll tend to my wife, lead the way treasures.” Jae-ha hummed, Aki and Mido eagerly rushed back in. “But don’t run or you’ll…”
 “GAH!” Gigan, Jae-ha’s middle daughter growled as the twins nearly plowed her over when they ran past her, the 16-year-old looking rather annoyed. “Aki! Mido! Watch where you’re going!” she growled as she almost dropped the books she was holding.
 “Done with your lesson already Gigi?” Hawke called out to his older sister.
 “Yes which you skipped!” Gigan snapped at him, her eyebrow twitching at the nickname. “What kind of prince are you when all you want to do is run off and learn fighting with our Uncle Hak? Seriously you can’t solve everything with your muscles idiot.”
 “Not everyone enjoys lessons like you do Gigan.” Lina giggled.
 Jae-ha laughed, petting Gigan on the head. “My smart little treasure. You’re going to make a fine queen someday you know.”
 That made the raven-haired girl blush. “F-father really I mean I would be honored if mother were to choose me but I’m not the oldest…”
 “You really think Lina wants the throne?” Jae-ha snorted.
 “Hell no, I’m traveling with Ura after the kids are grown.” Lina rolled her eyes and took her husband’s hand. “I’m a Ryokuryuu my job is to protect our mother and eventually I’ll protect the future king and queen. Which could be you and Shiro when you get married.” She teased.
 Shiro practically choked as he turned red at that. “I-I-I… T-that’s n-not funny Lina!”
 “LINA!” Gigan’s face turned into a fireball. “I’m not you I don’t go around marrying our cousins!”
 “Please, Kija and I weren’t exactly blood brothers just dragon brothers.” Jae-ha hummed. “Otherwise Shiro & Hinto would be Lina’s brothers with their dragon connection. Besides look how happy Ura and Lina are you know I sure won’t complain…”
 “FATHER THAT’S NOT FUNNY!” Gigan shouted, looking ready to explode. “GAH! Why am I the only normal one in this crazy family?!”
 Jae-ha laughed how his daughter would always have a meltdown over things like this. The rest of his children got his carefree attitude and Gigan was more like her namesake it made me smile. “Anyway where’s your mother? I hear she’s being stubborn again.”
 “In the library.” Gigan answered after she settled down. “One of the scholars just dropped off a new scroll with her and she said she was putting it away…. She was forcing a smile so I was going to bring her a new specimen from Kai that my instructor brought.” She held up an orange colored orchid. “Give it to her father, you know new flowers for her garden always cheers her up.”
 Jae-ha nodded, smiling as he took the flower. “I will my dear. Try to not let your siblings drive you insane.”
 Gigan looked at him deadpan. “Don’t ask for the impossible, father.”
 Jae-ha snorted, then kissed her forehead and headed on for the library. His twins ran so far ahead of him he shook his head as they found their mother first, her back to them and not even noticing they entered as she was looking over a scroll.
 Tears floated down Yona’s cheeks as it was a new illustration of her and her Four Dragons surrounding her, along with many of the tales the scholars sat her down and made her recall because they wanted to make a full record of the second incarnation of King Hiryuu. Shin-ah’s funeral was only a few weeks ago and she still wasn’t over the loss of both Kija and Valerie. She sobbed to herself as she clutched the parchment close, hating the fact her family was slowly being torn apart but at the same time blessed she had so many happy years with them…
 “Mommy!” Aki and Mido were suddenly hugging her ankles, snapping her out of her trance. “Mommy! We brought you something!” the twins bounced on their toes as they pulled back.
 “Oh what is it you two? Don’t tell me you’re trying to butter me up because you set the garden on fire again.” Yona sighed, bending down to her kids to pet them on the head.
 “No mommy that was an accident we swear!” Aki whimpered.
 “Even though it happened three times.” Mido squirmed.
 Jae-ha chuckled as he walked in. “They’re just worried about you my lovely, here. A gift from Gigan.” He handed her the flower, bringing a small smile the queen’s face.
 “It’s lovely.” Yona said, joining him in standing. “But you should be resting.” She scolded her husband.
 “I’m behaving.” Jae-ha hummed, leaning on his cane for support. He tried to hide the fact he was trying to catch his breath from the walk over, lately just getting out of bed was a chore for the aging dragon.
 Yona brushed her fingers over his bangs, noting the sweat on his forehead as she chided him. “You can’t hide from me, husband. Sit down.” She pushed him into a nearby chair that the twins helped bring closer. “Or else I’ll let our terror twins tie you down again.”
 “Can we mommy?!” Aki cried, excitement dancing in her eyes.
 Jae-ha snorted. “Now you’re using the kids against me, that’s not fair love.”
 “You use them against me so it’s only fair.” Yona giggled, kissing him playfully as she pulled away. “Aki, Mido, go get something from the chefs for daddy along with his medicine from Grandma Yoon ok?”
 “Ok mommy!” Mido darted off, Aki rushing after him.
 “I’ll only eat if you do.” Jae-ha said in a sing-song voice.
 Yona made a face. “I’m not hungry.”
 The Ryokuryuu sighed, grabbing her hands. “… Love… Come on it’s not your fault. You know Shin-ah and Kija wouldn’t want you to feel guilty.”
 “But…” Yona choked, tears in her eyes as her hands trembled. “If only I wasn’t… And one day the same will happen to our own daughter and then… I was so absorbed in worrying about you I never thought that they would…”
 Jae-ha pulled her into his lap, giving her a long kiss full of love while caressing her back. “Shhhh, it’s ok love. It’s only natural, my successor was born first after all everyone even Zeno expected me to die by now. It’s a strange miracle I’ve lasted this long. Guess Ik-su wasn’t kidding when he said our child is twice blessed and I wouldn’t die as soon as I thought.” He kissed away her tears as he brushed her crimson hair. “But that doesn’t change the fact that they both loved you and wouldn’t want you upset. They lived wonderful lives here by your side and found their beautiful wives. Their children are safe here and we’ve basically broken the curse of Ryokuryuu and Seiryuu villages as their lines will continue here where they are celebrated not hated. We might even mix dragon blood with the way Gigan and Shiro are crushing on each other.”
 Yona rolled her eyes. “Stop playing match maker with our children.”
 “It worked with Lina didn’t it?” Jae-ha hummed, kissing her cheek. “… Please love, you’ve barely ate anything all week or do I have to pop another treasure inside you to make you take care of yourself?” he offered, fluttering his eyelashes at her.
 Yona turned bright red at that, squirming in his lap. “… I-I… I can’t do that, they might never meet their…” she sadly brushed his cheek.
 “Think of it as me leaving you a treasure behind my love.” Jae-ha hummed, pressing his forehead against hers. “Besides we know they won’t be lonely with as many siblings as they’ll have. Just think about it love.” He gave her another kiss. “After all I don’t seem to have the stamina I used to in my prime.”
 “What a crime.” Yona giggled slightly, smiling warmly at her husband. “… Thank you Jae-ha… You and all the dragons helped me find the greatest happiness in my life. I just…. Hate the thought of waking up without you by my side.” She choked.
 Jae-ha looked at her sadly. “… I know, I feel the same. But the kingdom and our family need you love. Besides… You know I’ll be waiting for you on the other side.”
 “Jae-ha….” Yona sobbed, her eyes threatening to let out another waterfall of tears until she heard the sounds of her twins rushing back into the room.
 “We got food mommy! You gotta eat too!” Mido said, holding up a tray that was bigger than he was of food as Aki was holding Jae-ha’s medicine.
 Yoon stood in the doorway as he came behind them, holding a second tray. “Yona how many times have I told you that you can’t skip meals like this?”
 Yona pursed her lips as she crawled out of her husband’s lap. “… I told you kids just to get your father’s medicine not tell on me.”
 Aki giggled. “But Grandma Yoon is your advisor and he can advise you to eat!”
 “Not like she ever takes my advice when it’s about her health lately she’s as bad as her husband.” Yoon rolled his eyes, looking over Jae-ha and handing him a powder. “Now take that or else you’re on bedrest the rest of the week.”
 “Thank you mother.” Jae-ha teased, though the boy genius was so used to it that didn’t even faze him anymore.
 “We just don’t want you to get sick mommy please?” Aki bat her eyes at Yona, looking ready to cry. “Daddy gets sick enough and you take care of him so who’s going to take care of you if you feel bad?”
 “Me probably.” Yoon mumbled under his breath.
 Yona groaned as she took a seat, her twins at her legs immediately trying to force her something to eat as she sighed and grabbed a bread roll. “Fine, I’m eating are you guys happy now?” she then had the kids put the tray down on the table full of books as she lifted them into her arms, kissing their cheeks. “You two are too precious, so worried about me and your silly daddy.”
 “Because daddy makes you cry when he gets hurt!” Mido whimpered. “You’ll make daddy cry if you get sick.”
 Jae-ha hummed. “That’s right dear, don’t you know it’s a crime to make the king cry?” he tried to tease.
 “Don’t you start.” Yona snapped. “It’s not my fault I was tired last week and you insisted on trying to carrying me to my room like a stubborn fool.”
 Yoon groaned. “Don’t remind me. I’m the one the kids got when they found you two at the bottom of the stairs.”
 “So I can’t land as gracefully as I used to…” Jae-ha rubbed his cheek in embarrassment as he chuckled, then grabbed something off the tray for himself to get the bitter taste of the medicine out of his mouth.
 Yona sighed at that. “Sorry. I guess I have been worrying you guys just…”
 “Well all miss them.” Yoon gave her a hug. “… Just know that you aren’t alone, ok? And we can’t lose you too. This idiot will probably jump off a cliff to join you if you die on him.” He jabbed a thumb at Jae-ha.
 “Yoon not in front of the little ears.” Jae-ha groaned, not exactly denying it.
 “No die mommy!” Aki and Mido clung to their mother tightly. “You can’t leave us!”
 Yona wilted at that, hugging her twins tightly. “… You’re right. I’m not leaving you kids anytime soon I swear.” She kissed each of their foreheads. “And now go tell daddy he can’t leave you either so he has to stay stubborn for at least a few more years.” She smirked, letting them go as they rushed to their father.
 “Daddy! Daddy! You too!” Aki cried, clinging to his legs as Mido tugged on his robes.
 “Oh you little darlings I wouldn’t dare leave you just yet, I have to keep seeing all the trouble you get into come here!” Jae-ha smirked, lifting the kids into his lap and smothering them with kisses. “My precious little treasures.”
 Yona smiled at the sight, hoping that her precious family could stay together just a bit while longer…

First Night Back in Fuuga Ch 39: Messengers
AO3 Link to Chapter 39
Summary: Yona gets word from Soo-Won
“It wasn’t an accident.”
The water is still today. And here now, the chests are rising and falling in almost sync.
Ik-Soo and Soo-Won sit side by side at the meditating pond deep in the woods behind Kija’s village.
Soo-Won doesn’t rush Ik-Soo to elaborate. He waits. It's Ik-Soo who finally speaks--
“You’ve completed seven trials in seven days and yet you've asked for nothing. Tell me, what’s been on your mind if not the quest for the rest of what I promised to reveal to you?”
Soo-Won stares at that still pond, knowing exactly what’s been at the forefront of his every thought this week, “The dragons… I’ve been thinking about whether they’ve reached her yet.”
Ik-Soo isn’t surprised, but fascinated, “When they reach her, what do you imagine will happen?”
“If you’re curious…,” Soo-Won continues to sit peacefully, “Tell me what wasn’t an accident. In return, I’ll answer you.”
Ik-Soo smiles -- there it is. Soo-Won is never “off.” No matter how things may look. He’s nothing if not perpetually cunning.
Ik-Soo concedes, “Yona’s mother’s death. Everyone was led to believe it was accidental. But in truth, it was far more tragic than that.”
Something disturbs the water. Soo-Won keeps his breathing steady, but it does nothing to stop him from feeling the stabbing pain in his chest.
Each step he takes closer to the truth, the more he desperately needs to speak to her.
“When they reach her,” Soo-Won keeps his voice even, “I imagine... Yona will come here to me.”
“The Thunder Beast is going to sire the next generation of our royal line? This is amazing -- Kouka’s gonna be invincible!”
“Princess Yona, too, though… she’s breathtakingly gorgeous. And I heard she learned to fight from him.”
“It’s true, it’s so romantic! And our country’s royalty will be restored with such vigor… what news today!”
Cups have been clinking in high frequency this evening with excited murmurs filling the palace dining hall. Yona requested the truth about Hak be spread immediately -- as well as news that their marriage is official.
Yona smiles from her table with her happy, hungry bunch as she watches Hak retreat back to the side of the great hall again. Though he’s often gotten attention in his life for his skills and position, it’s never been quite like this.
What the hell. Whiplash... Hak shakes his head from his temporary hiding spot. Palace life with Yona had always been “make a move on the princess and it’s over.” Now, well....
SMACK! Geun-Tae thumps Hak on the back with a thrilled grin at the day’s events.
“I’ve been meaning raise a glass with you!”
“Not drinking tonight. But thank you. I appreciate it.”
“Ahh, I see. Well, you do have a big job ahead,” and it’s clear Geun-Tae isn’t referencing becoming king in the near future, “Everyone will be clamoring for this heir. And a herd more. Rebuilding the royal line…,” the warrior gives Hak a nostalgic look then shakes his head in admiration.
As Geun-Tae heads away, Hak returns to his mental bewilderment… Now, it’s more like, “bed the princess -- get her as pregnant as you can -- and we’ll all throw you a party.” Hak’s not complaining, but the conversations are… weird. He could do without everyone cheering on his sex life.
Hak notices Yona giggling at him from the distance. He playfully narrows his eyes at her and walks over.
As he slips down beside her, “It’s not funny. And it’s easy to laugh when everyone’s too well-mannered to say anything to you about it.”
Yona gives his thigh a squeeze under the table, “If only they knew how skilled you are at that, too. The first try and…”
Color rises up Hak’s cheeks. They were pretty efficient in that particular effort...
“What isn’t funny?” Jae-Ha, the most joyous spreader of the epic romance of Princess Yona and her devoted warrior Hak news, presses with a mischevious smile.
“What exactly have you been telling people, Droopy Eyes,” Hak glares.
“What?” Jae-Ha innocently takes another swig of alcohol.
“People keep telling Hak to get me pregnant,” Yona states matter-of-factly, not entirely hiding her amusement.
“BAHahahaha,” Jae-Ha nearly falls over from hysteria, “that is... ,” pulling himself together, “Listen, Little Brother, that was going to happen regardless of anything I or anyone else said. You’re both too lovable and gorgeous. And Yona’s the last royal. Even I’m more excited than seems logical.”
“I’m... “ Hak searches for the words, “I’m surprised there hasn’t been any… hesitation.”
“About what?” Both Yona and Jae-Ha are sincerely curious.
It’s almost under his breath and he looks neither in the eye, “... my lineage.”
Yona slides a hand over Hak’s under the table, looking up at him with worried eyes, “Hak…”
“Why?” Jae-Ha isn’t having any of that, “Look at you. There’s nothing more to do -- you’re incredibly good-looking, powerful, respected. Great with people, a leader, devoted as hell.”
“Just reinforcing that he’s taken, Jae-Ha,” Yona teases protectively.
Jae-Ha smiles sportively, then continues, “The focus is really on Yona Dear’s lineage and continuing that. Someone as incredible as you being the father is really just bonus.”
Yona glances up at Hak’s face as all this continues to settle in. There’s something poignant about these positive reactions that’s clearly hitting him, she just wishes she knew what it was… But he’s always so good at protecting her privacy. She’d be remiss not to give him his.
Hak feels like an idiot. But an idiot with a massive, lifetime’s worth of weight somehow beginning to lift off his back. It’s not that he wants to give Keishuk any validation for his words on the battlefield that day at Kai, that he’d hit a nerve or something when he’d accused Hak of mixing his dirty blood with the royal line… but he can’t deny that he’s always felt… less than.
And maybe it wasn’t less than just anyone. He certainly didn’t feel that way about Tae-Jun. Puh! It was just less than... one someone. Soo-Won. A man who had royal lineage. And who she had loved since forever.
He feels Yona squeeze his hand under the table and that warmth goes straight to his heart. All those needless insecurities. Here she is at his side -- their love real, child growing, and coronation imminent. He should just let the past go now. And focus on their future.
“So when do I get to hear about this secret mission?” Hak calls over to the oddly quiet Kija and Zeno at the table.
All four dragons turn their attention to Yona in question. Yun looks slightly annoyed to also be out of the loop on this one, but then returns to the soup he didn’t have to cook today -- he’s zen enough from pampered palace life right now he doesn’t feel the necessity to make a snide remark. This time.
Earlier, the moment Zeno and Kija had arrived, Yona had thrown her arms around them in welcome and whispered not to say a word. Jae-Ha and Shin-Ah, who were also aware this whole time of what this secret mission was most likely about, were also kept in the loop that this was most sensitive and she needed some time with Hak.
“Patience,” Yona reminds her husband, “I’m going to tell you everything tonight. Promise.”
FWIP. FWIP. One bottleneck. Two hands. One tan and worn. The other soft porcelain.
“Oh!”
Lili and Tae-Woo had both gone to the table of alcohol up front and grabbed the same bottle.
Lili’s hand on top of his, she lets go.
Fumbling to be polite, Tae-Woo reaches for a different bottle.
“It’s you…” Lili utters unintentionally, gawking at him curiously.
Then an awkwardness descends on them both, not knowing each other or what to say…
“Hi…”
“So... you’re part of Hak’s family…”
“Yeah.”
“...that’s... cool. He saved my life before. In Sei.”
“I saw. I was there, actually.”
“Oh…” Lili stares at this new face to her. Why doesn’t she know anything about this person? “I’m sorry, I should have known that. Thank you for fighting that time.”
Tae-Woo softly smiles, seeing she’s as nervous as he is, “Don’t worry about it. You were… pretty tied up.”
Lili smiles back, “Yeah, that’s a nice way to put that.”
They’re both holding their separate alcohol bottles, ready to go back to their tables. But the conversation doesn’t feel closed. They stand there looking at the ground. Then they both look up at the same time and speak simultaneously--
“See you tomorrow.” “I’m glad it worked out.”
“Huh?” “Oh. Yeah.”
Lili meets Tae-Woo’s eyes straight on, “Glad what worked out?”
Damnit. Tae-Woo doesn’t know why those words came out of his mouth, but he started it so he’s stuck finishing now...“Hak saving you.”
A corner of Lili’s lips rises and her eyebrows raise inward. What an innocent, sweet thing to say?
“See you tomorrow,” Tae-Woo echos as he quickly turns, returning to his table. There’re joyous cheers when he arrives with the alcohol.
Lili catches herself watching after him, feeling a weird sting from his departure and subsequent popularity. There was sorta a feeling of calm talking to him. Now he’s not here anymore, there feels like... an empty space. And it wasn’t there before.
Tomorrow. Lili focuses. She braces herself. It'll be her first day of training.
“He’s alive…” Yona takes deep breaths. This information hurts her with every word and yet she’s desperate to know more, “How… is he?”
Zeno, Kija, Shin-Ah, Jae-Ha, Ao, and Yun are in their bedroom with Yona -- the former two recounting details. While none of the dragons are surprised by this revelation, and Ao is distracted by a nut, Yun is right there with Yona in shock.
“How did this happen?!” Yun asks as though someone really messed up this time.
“I asked them to…” Yona admits, eyes cast downward because she ever more has reason to question her decision.
“And you didn’t tell Hak?!” Yun throws a hand over his mouth -- he’s being insensitive. But honestly. Some things must be shouted in outrage.
“I never got a chance to be alone with him!”
“Oh come on…” Yun happens to be very aware of otherwise.
Yona continues her defense, “Whenever we were alone together… Yun, I’m pregnant.”
Yun’s eyes about pop out of his head at that leap in explanation.
Jae-Ha pats him on the back, “Go order some room service. You’ll feel better.”
“He’s well,” Kija cuts in as Yun rises in a stupor to find a servant to bring him something, “He’s been staying as a guest of my village with Ik-Soo keeping close watch.”
“And he’s been amenable to… staying?”
“Not at first, Little Miss,” Zeno laughs, still eating some meat on a stick he took with him from dinner while he remembers a thing or two about those early days with Soo-Won, “but he’s calmed down a lot.”
“He did ask for us to deliver an urgent message to you,” Kija explains.
Yona’s heart skips a beat. Breathing becomes more difficult, “What does he want?”
“He said you’re in danger... is that true, Princess?”
Yona takes a labored, deep breath, “What did he say about that?” --her tone says it all.
“He said the details absolutely had to be expressed in person. By him. And so he… he asked you to come to him. Urgently. In order to save both you and Hak’s lives.”
“Come to him?” Yona stares as she tries to regain her breath. Why is it that nothing affects her like Soo-Won?
“Are you OK, Dear?” Jae-Ha puts an arm around Yona to calm her shaking.
“No,” she tries to keep the tears at bay, “Jae-Ha… I need to be with Hak right now.”
Jae-Ha helps Yona walk out into the hall -- and there Hak waits for her.
The moment he sees that pale look on her face and the pain in her eyes, his chest tightens in a way it has few times before. His hands itch for a firm grip.
This familiar feeling he never wanted to feel again.

Like Peter Pan
Title: Like Peter Pan
Pairing: Kai x Reader
Word Count: 700+  
Warnings: after 8x12, romantic, OOC!Kai, sad
Summary: Kai comes back from Hell and he feels the need to visit someone from his past.  
Notes: none.  
There was one thing he had to do, before he could think about anything else. He was trapped in 1994, so he was still 22. But, right now, he would have been 44 or 45 years old, more or less. It was the same age she was supposed to have too. He looked for her, asking people and then at the police station. He found her address and he went there, to her house. He was nervous. Even if he had become someone else, even if he was now a murderer and a fugitive from Hell, he wanted to remain the same guy to her.
He knocked and someone opened the door.
<< May I help you? >> a man with glasses asked.
<< Hi… Hi, actually yes, you can. I’m looking for Y/N. >>
<< Oh, yes! She’s my wife. I’m gonna call her. >> he answered.
Kai gulped, torching his hands.
<< Thank you. >>
The man went away, calling her name. Kai knew, deep down, that she had moved on, that she had found someone and probably that she had a family. He was acting in a selfish way, just because he wanted to see her once. Once, before he could come back to Hell. For a second, he thought she didn’t deserve all this pain, so he turned in order to go away, but she arrived.
<< Hello? >>
Her voice seemed so different, yet so soft and sweet like over twenty years ago. He looked at her and she almost fainted.
<< Hey. >>
<< Kai? >> she asked, in disbelief. It was like he could see every memory they shared together in her eyes. She was astonished. << Is that really you? >>
He nodded.
<< Yeah. >>
<< I thought your family locked you in a prison world to heal you from that rare disease! Did they help you? I heard you had a breakdown, after they sent me away. Are you still in cure with a psychiatrist? >>
That’s what they told her. That’s the last wish he asked for. If she had to go away from him, she hadn’t to know what he had become because of them: the black sheep, the bad guy. The situation degenerated when they sent her away. She kept him right. Without her, without his anchor, he felt so lost, he killed his siblings. So, that’s the lie they told her: he couldn’t hurt anyone or himself, if he was locked in a prison world. He hated his parents, but if that lie made her find peace, he had to stick with it.
So he nodded.
<< I feel better, now. >>
She smiled and it was so bright, he felt like he was gonna die. That’s what he missed. He missed the chance to grow up with her. Now it was too late.
<< Time really doesn’t pass in prison worlds, does it? You look so young! This meeting makes me feel like Wendy talking to Peter Pan, after she has grown up. >> she laughed and Kai faked a laugh too.
<< Yeah, I know that tale. Funny, isn’t it? >>
She came closer to him, then she hugged him. He couldn’t taste things, but as sure as Hell he could feel the melancholy and loneliness. He had really loved her.
He couldn’t help but asking himself if they would have been still together, otherwise.  
<< I’m sorry, but my children are playing in the garden and I have to play with them. I hope to see you, sometimes! Call me, okay? >> Kai gulped, sadness in his eyes.
<< Yeah, absolutely. >>
He turned his back to her, feeling his whole body so warm, it was like he was going to burn. She remained the same, beautiful and kind. He wished he could tell the same about himself.
 << You’re such an idiot! >> she exclaimed, rubbing his cheek. << You don’t have to be jealous, Mike is just a friend. >>
<< Well, I bet: he’s not handsome as me and he wears glasses! Who wears glasses in the 80’s! >>
She laughed.
<< Everyone! >>
<< Yeah, that’s my point! He follows the rules, I don’t. And I know you love taking risks, right? >> he asked, coming closer to her, his lips almost on hers.
She felt lost in his eyes and her heartbeat began to race, while he was leaning over her to kiss her.
<< That’s right. I love the danger. >>
<< I love you. >>

a x e : xxxii
A u g u s t :
My chest deflates as the door closes softly behind me. I take slow steps to Elise, stopping only to kneel down and slip her heels onto her feet one at a time. This only seems to make her cry harder.
I stand straight, fingers uncurling, and rub my thumb across her cheek.
“Abram,” she says, recoiling from my touch. “You can’t hate me and do that. It isn’t fair—and I know what I did to you wasn’t fair but, Abram, please. If you’re going to hate me, hate me wholly.”
“Je ne te déteste pas,” I say. “That’s the problem, Elise. I don’t—I don’t hate you. I want to, I tried to.”  
“Then you need to try harder,” she cries. She grabs the lapels on my jacket, pulling me in only to push me away. “Hate me, Abram. Hate me! I can’t—I can’t be Anais. Hate me so I can stop loving you. I’m begging you, please. Hate me.”
I grab her hands, warm and soft, and pry them from my suit. “I can’t,” I yell.
“You can,” Elise yells back. “Think of everything I’ve done to you. Think about how much I’ve hurt you—”
“—I think about it every day,” I say over her. “But the good starts to outweigh the bad and all I can think about is what it felt like to kiss you. I’m so mad at you, but I miss you—and I’m even angrier that you’d trade my hate to heal your broken heart. What about me? What about my heart?”
“Abram, I’d give anything to fix the damage I’ve done to you, to us,” says Elise. Her face contorts and fresh tears spill down her cheeks. “But you’re stronger than I am and hating me is what I deserve. We both know you’re better off without me.”
“Ok, Sylvia Plath,” I say, then pause. My mouth falls open, and after a few seconds my chest shakes.
“What?” Elise snaps, pulling her hands away from mine. “What’s so funny?”
“I just made the connection. Sylvia.”
“So we’re laughing about it now?” she asks. “I don’t get you, Abram.”
“No, we’re not—I am,” I say. “I’m allowed to laugh at what you did, because looking back, I should have known. It’s so obvious now.”
“What is this, Abram?” says Elise as she wipes her face. “At dinner you wanted to fight with me, and tonight you’re putting my shoes on my feet and telling me you miss me.”
“This is me still loving you, Elise,” I say. “This is me trying to ignore how mad I am because I miss you.”
“But you can’t, can you?”
I shake my head. “Not yet.”
“Abram, I can’t do this,” she says. “I can’t wait for you. I can’t be my aunt.”
“Then maybe this is goodbye.”

(texts: Abram & Brody)
do we know why ellie and she who must not be named follow each other on twitter?
Wtf?? no? how do you even know that???
I’ve been creeping a little.
I thought she blocked you?
She unblocked me.
My dude. Anything good on her timeline?
Mostly re-tweets of poetry. Nothing major.
I need to tell you something.
Big.
BIG.
????
I bought Els a ring.
SHUT UP
Like a ring, ring? Like an engagement ring?
Yes.
When??
Not yet. After we graduate. I’m going to ask her to marry me.
You should ask her on Christmas?
That’s what I was planning, next year on Christmas.
She would love that.
I feel like shit, because ik what you’re going through but I had to tell you.
It’s fine. I’m really happy for you, Brody.
I always knew you’d marry her.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? Not too long ago we were kids playing street hockey in the summer while she deliberately rode her bike in front of you and made fun of the way our voices cracked when we hit puberty. Now, we’re about to graduate, and that shit head of a girl is going to be your wife.
And that lanky blond kid with knobby knees is going to be my best man.
I love u Hunties.
I love u more Kempies.
We are the gayest heterosexuals.
If I had to pick a dude…
Let me pee on you like a territorial cat.
Only if I get to jet-pack you.

O c t o b e r :
“I saw you play on Saturday. I had no idea you were on the hockey team.”
I respond only with a grunt as I pour a foul-smelling, pink liquid into a beaker.
“You were really good,” she goes on. “I used to go see the Predators all the time back in Nashville.”
“We need a gram of iodine crystals,” I say, my eyes on our shared text-book.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Stassi carelessly pour the light purple crystals directly into a bowl and I sigh loudly.
“I said a gram, not an ounce. You have to weigh it.”
“Oh…Sorry,” she says, hurriedly pouring them back into the container. “I was just distracted.”
“Please, try to focus,” I say. “Put the iodine into the round beaker.”
“You make it sort of hard,” she replies.
I look up from the textbook to see her cheeks burning pink as she shyly looks away from me and to the spread of glassware in front of us.
“We need a damp filter to pour the ammonia into the iodine,” I say.
“And you keep doing that,” she says as the turns the water on low and dampens the center of a paper towel. “Why is that?”
My eyebrows crease and she sighs at me.
“Every time I try to talk to you, you change the subject,” she says. “Well, when you actually talk back.”
“It’s not just you,” I say, looking back at our work. “I don’t really talk to anyone.”
“Why not?” she asks. “Don’t you want to make new friends?”
I breathe out a laugh and shake my head. “No, I don’t, actually.”
“What happened to you, Abram Dyer?” asks Stassi.
I pause, because the only other person to address me like that is Elise. “Why do you think something happened to me?”
“Because,” she says. “No one is inherently that broody.”
Just a few inches shorter than me, I look down at her and I smile even though I don’t want to. “Everyone has a story, Stassi,” I say. “Some peoples are just more messed up than others.”
“I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours,” she says.
“We need to pour the iodine over the crystals next.”

N o v e m b e r :
Gigi’s house never felt like a home until now. It was always too big and too vacant—but at present it almost feels too small. Between Jason, Sophie, Sienna, Nyx, Brody, Ellie, Gigi and myself, the house is alive with noise, and her five bedrooms and bathrooms are just barely enough for everyone to cohabitate for a week.
“This is why I love the holidays,” Gigi says fondly. “I get to see my house full of my grandchildren.”
“Aw, Grams,” says Sienna, throwing her arm around Gigi’s shoulders. She gives her a lopsided smile and kisses her cheek. “You’re going soft on us.”
“I’m not going soft, dear,” says Gigi, “I just have a soft spot for you, but it will be callous if you don’t stop calling me Grams.”
Sienna snorts into her beer. Out of everyone in the room, she’s definitely the drunkest, with Ellie coming in close behind her as she drinks straight from a bottle of Avion tequila.
“You alright over there, Els?” I ask, tossing a pretzel at her.
She leans onto her elbow and points her finger at me. “Actually, no. I’m not.”
“Uh, babe,” says Brody. Worried that she’s a bomb that will go off at any second. “Think before you speak. You have to face these people for the next six days.”
“You’re not the boss of me, Brody,” Ellie says without looking at him. “Kai—Abram, Gigi—”
The doorbell rings loudly and everyone looks to where we know the front door is.
“Who could that be at this hour?” says Ellie.
I see Gigi raise an eyebrow at her before she stands and leaves the room.
“I mean, did someone order pizza?” Ellie says, then takes another drink straight from the bottle.
“What did you do?” Brody says pointedly.
“She didn’t act alone,” Sophie chimes in, smiling from Jason’s shoulder.
“Look—I’m sorry,” says Ellie. “But she came here to spend the week with her dad and he’s out of town until Thanksgiving.”
“Ellie!” Brody and I say in stereo.
“And Sophie!” says Sophie, lifting her head up.
“She doesn’t have anyone, Abram!” Ellie says through clenched teeth. “Be nice.”
I look toward the kitchen just as Gigi is walking Elise through it. I really want to be angry at Ellie, but when I see Elise, I can’t be. She looks at me and I instantly notice that her eyes are puffy and blood shot and the makeup around them is smeared. I also can’t help but notice how well she fills out the dress she wears.
And I can’t help but notice that she’s never looked more beautiful than she does right now. And I can’t help but wonder where the tears came from.
There is a squeal and then a flash of hair, and all I see next is Ellie tackle Elise the same way I tackled Brody on Gigi’s kitchen floor that morning. But they pick themselves up a lot faster than we did.
“Let me get you a chair, dear,” says Gigi.
“Nonsense,” says Ellie, grabbing Elise by the hand. “I can sit on Brody’s lap. Brody, come sit where I was.”
Brody and I share a look. Mine says, you better not get up. And his looks a lot like, she’ll kill me if I don’t. Without a word he stands, and Ellie all but shoves Elise into the seat beside mine.
“I’m glad to see you made it,” says Sophie, shocking me by not insulting Elise’s mildly dishevelled appearance.
“I had to fly to New York first,” says Elise. “Then I had a really long layover in Denver.”
“Well, you’re a sight for sore eyes,” says Ellie. She picks up the bottle of tequila and shakes it around. “You want?”
“Sure,” she says as she shrugs out of her coat.
Her perfume wafts through the air and I’m brought back to this time last year. I can feel our champagne kiss, and her hands in my hair.
Before Elise sets the bottle down, I hold my hand out for it. We stare at each other until our fingers touch, and I take the bottle and turn it up.
Ellie claps her hands together happily. “This is great!”
And my head falls back with a second gulp.
An hour passes with Ellie, Elise and Sophie talking amongst themselves, before people start announcing that they’re going to bed. The first to leave us is Nyx, who helps a very drunk Sienna out of her chair. Followed by Jason and Sophie, then Gigi.
When it’s just the four of us, Ellie climbs off of Brody’s lap to sit beside him.
“So, are you going to make Elise sleep on the couch?” she asks, swaying in her seat.
“Ellie,” says Elise. She looks at me apologetically. “I can stay at my dad’s apartment—I just—”
“No!” says Ellie. “You’re not staying there alone when you can stay here with us. Plus, it’s late and you’re drunk.”
“I can Uber,” says Elise.
“No,” comes out of my mouth so fast that it takes a moment for me to realize I actually said it. “You don’t need to get into a late-night Uber.”
“Yeah,” says Brody stifling a yawn. “Abram told me the Uber drivers here are even weirder than the ones in Boston.”
“Abram’s bed is huge,” says Ellie. “But you already knew that, because you’ve slept in it before.”
I toss another pretzel at her, this time hitting her face. “Thanks, Els.”
“Hey! I’m just saying,” she says, tossing it back, but misses me completely and hits Elise’s forehead.
“I could share with Abram,” Brody suggests.
“Or Elise can share with Abram. God, Brody,” says Ellie, attempting to whisper the latter but failing miserable.
My heart pounds into my stomach at the thought of sharing my bed with her, my jeans fitting just a little tighter. I feel my face turn red and my mouth go dry and I look everywhere but at her.
“Abram?” says Brody.
I shrug, looking up at the chandelier. “I’m fine with whatever.”

Movie Reviews: “Blockers” and  “Chappaquiddick”
Tumblr media
April 6, 2018
Chappaquiddick, Sight Unseen
Bill: Neither one of us has seen this movie, because there were no previews for it in D.C. Isn’t that weird? If there were ever a town that would lap up Chappaquiddick— the story of Ted Kennedy’s car crash that killed Mary Jo Kopechne — it’s Washington.
Arch:Yeah, I don’t get it.
Bill:It was shown at the Toronto Film Festival, and the reviews weren’t bad. I would love to think it’s being undermined by a vast Kennedy family conspiracy. But the Kennedys ain’t what they used to be.
Arch:I understand the film makers speculate a lot as to what happened, because nobody really knows. And in this era of Fake News it might just be a bad time to come out with a movie that is based on a lot of supposition.
Bill:Then again, you’ll remember that back in 1969 the most salacious rumor was that Mary Jo Kopechne was pregnant with Ted Kennedy’s baby. But from what I’ve read, the film doesn’t even hint at that.
Arch:I’ve read that the screenwriters actually had a sex scene between Teddy and Mary Jo in the movie, but the producers made them take it out.
Bill:Well, I don’t want tothinkabout Ted Kennedy having sex, much less see it.
Arch:This was young, handsome Teddy. Not old, bloated Teddy.
Bill:True. In any case, it appears the film is largely about the Kennedys’ capacity for manipulating the news, which I don’ think could happen today.
Arch:If it happened to day he’d be ruined. I guess the question regarding this movie is “Why now?”  Maybe it’s a bad time for controversial political dramas. I noticed that both FX and The History Channel have scrapped scripted series about the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair.
Bill:That’s so strange, because the facts in that case are not in dispute.
Arch:No!
Bill:Neither you nor I will live to see this, but I think it would be nice to get a few generations away from the current day, to a time when Kennedys and Clintons are purely historical figures, and people can look dispassionately at them.
Arch:It will be a less annoying time, that’s for sure.
Blockers
Arch: Have you seen Blockersyet?
Bill:No, I haven’t. How is it?
Arch:It stars Leslie Mann and a couple of very funny guys. One of them is John Cena, who’s a former wrestler. Is he supposed to be the next Dwayne Johnson?
Bill:I’m sure he’d liketo be.
Arch:He’s pretty funny as this big square-jawed dad who cries at the drop of a hat. Leslie Mann is also quite funny.
Bill:She always is.
Arch:The other guy is Ike Barinholtz.
Bill:Not a household name.
Arch:Well, it’s prom night and they all have daughters and the three girls have vowed that this is the night they’re all going to lose their virginity. Leslie Mann’s character finds out and she enlists the other two parents to chase down their daughters on prom night and prevent it from happening. It’s a corny setup, but the dialogue is very funny, and there are some very, very funny moments. It turns out, of course, that the children know more what they’re doing than the parents, and they make good choices, and it’s the parents who keep hyperventilating.
Bill: I guess the premiseisrather tried-and-true; the sort of thing John Hughes would have made in the 1980s or 90s.
Arch:Well, yes, in a way, but then again Blockers is extremely R-rated — including one scene where John Cena gets involved in a butt-chugging contest.
Bill:I’m sorry say what?
Arch:You’ll have to look that up.
Bill:Wait a second. I’m Googling it now…oh my God!
Arch:Exactly. Did I mention Seth Rogen is one of the producers?
Bill:Now it all becomes clear to me. And of course Leslie Mann is Judd Apatow’s wife. So there’s a certain pedigree involved here. This is the latest in a long string of films, maybe starting with Knocked Up —which Apatow directed and Rogen starred in — that wrap tales of somewhat conventional morality into narratives that can be gross to the extreme. You get to a squeaky-clean ending, but you need a bath after the journey to that ending.
Arch:Yeah. John Hughes might have found the same finish line here, but he would have taken a decidedly different route. Blockersis directed by a woman, Kay Cannon, who wrote Pitch Perfect, so some people will fell that’s somehow empowering.
Bill:Good for her! How does it measure up against Game Night, which we both loved?
Arch:I liked Game Nighta lot better. But it’s funny enough.
Bill:There’s their line for the Blockers lobby posters: “Arch Campbell: Funny Enough!”
