So I recently discovered your blog and I immediately binge-read all of your Din fic and can I just say that I am completely enamoured with a fresh start!! You writing is so goddamn good and you leave me in a puddle of tears!! Please keep on writing because you write so well and I cannot emphasize this enough, I just wanted to add that you sound like a really wholesome person and whenever I read your fics you bring joy to my day <3
May I request that you add me to your taglist for A Fresh Start and other Mandalorian fics if that's okay?
:D
YAAAASSSS IF I'M CRYING OVER DIN I WANT ALL MY READERS TO ALSO BE A MESS OF TEARS (which is maybe a statement that surely makes me a little less wholesome lol).
For so so long, I was dependent on fics bringing me serotonin to get me through bad days and when I finally started writing I told myself that if I could improve even one person's day my mission would be accomplished🥰 I'm just paying it back. I read fics that got me through tough times so now I wanna write fics that do the same for others. Thanks so so SO much for leaving me a message of love, my friend!!
I've added you to the taglist for AFS!
I don't have a running taglist for random drabbles that I post (I'm learning that I'm just bad at tagging people and tumblr hates me). SO, my plan is to only open taglist for like series. AFS has a tag list and the winning story of my poll (let's be real it's gonna be the soulmate!AU one) will have a taglist as well!

Here to return the love with a couple questions for you! - 💞 Who's your comfort character? / ✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to? / 🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
Yaaaassss TURNABOUT!!!
Comfort character: It changes and you can probably tell by which of my fics is getting love at the moment. Right now I've got the heart eyes for Dieter, but I will say that just a passing thought of Ezra or Javi G can send me for a spin....those two are especially in my thoughts now since I'm writing one and reading a lot of the other. And I'll admit that my Din feels are revving back up again...
Reoccurring in my fics: Apparently I really like it when a boy walks/takes me home. And time shifts? I can get in the weeds about a flashback. Whoops.
Listening to music: Sometimes. Sometimes when I'm writing I'll throw on an appropriate soundscape on YouTube. It's great when I'm writing Din since there's so many environments and while I can visualize and pick up on textures in the story, sometimes I forget about ambient sound and that will remind me where I am. And weirdly it helps with remembering to include scent? Idk. For Ezra, I'll sometimes listen to the Prospect soundtrack or psychedelic Cambodian rock if I'm writing within the prospecting universe, although not so much for Bookshop. And for Pero, it tends to be a lot of Loreena McKennitt because she has some medieval influences and in particular some flavors from the occupancies of Spain at that time and the sounds Pero would have grown up with.
But most of the time I like to write in silence. It's nice in summer when the windows are open and the crickets are out....

Thank you for the request! And thank you for loving my works! Hope you like this one as well ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Reaction to Fangirling MC
Nobunaga:
The moment he saw her turn on the television, he will instantly put an earplugs in his ears.
But before he could do so, she already--
"KYAAAAAAA!!!!"
It pierced his ears and one of the plugs flew from his hand even--
"MC, can you--"
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
"MC--"
"OMG I'M SO SORRY BUT THIS IS TOO GOOD OMG DID YOU SEE THAT??"
"Yes, I did--"
"DID YOU?? DID YOU?? OMG OMG OMG AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
.......Nobunaga's collar was shaken back and forth once more, to the point be couldn't let out any voice, nor do anything to protect himself.
Hideyoshi
MC is an adorable girlfriend in general. She can be sassy, yet still innocent and shy and--
"YAAAASSSS STRIP THAT F*CKING SHIRT AAAAAHHHHH OAO!!!!"
"UNZ YASSS HE STRIP IT AWWW YEAAAAA YOU SEXY BIATCHHHH!!!"
The tea tray nearly slip from his grip when he watch his lover lick the tv screen with a heavy breathing.
"*mlem mlem mlem* (sound of licking) ah-"
Hideyoshi:..........*turns around*
"I CAN EXPLAIN! T-the Tv looks delicious so-- IT'S NOT IT- WHAT I MEAN IS- HIDEYOSHI NOOOOO (/QAQ)/!!"
Masamune
There's an obvious frown on his face, followed by a pout to another of his lover's soft squeal to the character in the television.
He turns, checking himself in the mirror; "It's obvious how I am MORE dashing than that piece of--"
Another squeal, and a cute blush on her face. Well.. This is so unfair.
"Lass, can I ask you a question?"
"Hmm~?" Her eyes attached to the screen, more than to his upcoming question.
"Just.. Which part of him that is so good to the point you choose to look at him and not m-"
"Haaaa?" Her cutey blushy face is replaced with a very grim-yakuza like expression.
Gulp.
"Nothing."
"Hmm??" Her expression changed again. "Okie dokie (๑°꒵°๑)・*♡🌸🌸🌸!"
Mitsuhide
"I see my little mouse has someone else other than me that can make you-"
"Hm."
"Why, is he that significant than your own lover?"
"Hm."
"...MC there's a bug on your lap."
"Hm."
He blinked.
*commercial break*
"Did you say something just now, Mitsuhide OwO?"
"....." He instantly carry her off to the bedroom and to make her differentiate between real and non-real thing after that. Poor MC.
Ieyasu
"Aaaah oh my, oh my, oh my, his eyes is so dreamy ❤❤❤❤❤~"
"....." He makes himself "busy", despite silently glaring at the television, to MC particularly. " Pathetic." He mumbles under his breath, rolling his eyes when she gave another "Hyaaa..!" the moment her so-called handsome character winked.
"Hehehee. Are you jealous?"
"I am not. Who said so? I am not that low to be jealous over someone that didn't exis-"
"You are. Hehehehe." He groaned as she poke his cheek. "Shall I melt that anger away?"
"Hn." He's about to look away when she cupped his cheek for a smooch. "That is just an anime character, Ieyasu. He is just like common "Eye Candy" what we called it. Hm?"
"....Hn- mmn-" She kissed him again, and again, until he slowly kiss her back. Evergreen eyes glared back at the screen, he thought to himself; "You will be on my list."
Mitsunari
"Yes, yes, yes, yes,"
He feels nothing, only a joy towards her giddiness for her favorite anime. Seeing her jump happily, or screaming out of excitement, he will only smile and laugh at her. Saying "MC is very cheerful (๑•ᴗ•๑)♡.".
"YASSSS THEY F*CKING KISSED! MWAHAHAHA NOW MAKE BABIES OAO!!"
"Babies?" He turned to the 2 male characterss, and to MC. "What story is this, MC?"
She froze. Uh oh.
"Uh- uhm- it's-"
"I was wondering what kind of characters that you like,.. To think you are into this kind of story.." He was deep in thought, where it sends thousands of cold sweats all over her. "M-mitsunari, I can explain.."
"Interesting! To be able to bring this kind of story, I find such 'boys love' intriguing! Can I learn it with you?"
Learn?
Mitsunari--
All this while he thought MC is "learning" about something.
This angel--
MUST PROTECC.

Episode 15 Thoughts
I love the parallel convos. But oh god they make my heart break.
Engin needs to talk to Ceren asap.
"The problem is that I considered myself worthy of an angel like her." *sobs* But you are Serkan!
"Half of my soul is her" I'll just be over here crying forever now!!
This man I swear his selflessness because he loves her so much.
Oh god he's looking at her star!!
The look on his face as she's berating him, he's so in love with her and her passion and fire!!
"In life you cannot replace me with anyone" oh Eda he knows, he knows hon
Eda telling Aydan that "he broke me to pieces" while Aydan is crying and telling her she will move past this. *sobs*
Ooofff Eda that was harsh "ask yourself how you raised such an insensitive son who does not know how to love." Especially because he loves her so much!!!
Alptekin knows he deserves Serkan's scorn.
Moving out?!
He cant even bring himself to pack up her stuff.
Even the world?!!!
He cant bring himself to take off the ring. It's the only thing he has left of her.
Oh Eda trying so hard to distract herself and be chipper
"Hair and stubble in a mess" you say Seyfi? That sounds incredibly sexy, I'm okay with this.
Oh shit! It's not enough that her heart is broken but now she finds out about Ayfer's lies.
I really really don't trust Efe!!!
Too convenient that he shows up to "rescue her"
Engin protecting Serkan from everyone bothering him about Eda.
Efe offering her her dream job, and the opportunity to get under Serkan's skin
Serkan is so upset that not only is she working for Efe but that Eda's giving up studying in Italy.
Efe is way too conveniently playing the white knight to Serkan's unfeeling robot.
Of course we have Eda and Ferit vs Serkan and Selin on opposite sides.
Dammit Selin did you have to point out the ring!!
Yowch Selin talking about Serkan breaking women's hearts.
Serkan telling them to help Eda and Efe, because he wants Eda to have the better design
Ooo the guys walking towards the girls love this shot.
Lmao "did fifi start working here too?"
Also side note but damn is Serkan looking extra fine today in that vest!!
"Eda pretended not to see me?" Oh Serkan sweetie
Oooo Selin wants nothing to do with Ceren
Erdam trying Adam play it cool with Fifi
Oooo Eda wearing the ring again just to bother him.
Staring at Serkan's hands often there Eda?
"So no other woman distracts me from my work" lmao mmmhmm sure Serkan that's why you're wearing the ring
Serkan has to keep his hands in his pockets around her to keep from pulling her towards him
Alptekin ugghhhh you should have told Ayfer!!!!!!
You idiot!!
Smart Serkan knowing that Efe would offer to buy Ferit's shares.
Seyfi knowing how Serkan and Eda work lol. Knowing that them working together and fighting will just bring them together again.
Eda has to know from the way he watches her that everything is not what it seems.
Engin stepping on to ask where they are going since Serkan can't
Lmao "I don't want to talk to Erdam"
Serkan you are not the only one missing Leyla
Yes Ayfer take Efe, keep him away from Eda.
Mmmhmmm also from Mardin, with family there? Either a distant cousin or related to one of Grandma's friends
Uggghhh both of them working alone and totally thinking of each other!!! * sobs*
Face timing him just to see his face, oh Eda honey
Serkan hiding the flower because he cant look at it but he can't bring himself to get rid of it
Oh no you did not bring up Serkan breaking up with Eda, Efe. Forget Serkan fighting you, I'll fight you!!!!
Serkan can never say no to his mom.
Oooo yes Seyfi going to the office to spy on Eda and Serkan.
I'm on Serkan's side about not talking to Alptekin. They already didn't have a good relationship and this made it worse.
I feel for Aydan hurting because Serkan is going to move out, but he does need his own space. She didn't think he would marry and stay there the whole time?
I think he will move into that house that he was having Eda design ideas for.
The new picture will be just as marked up as the last was.
Eda making a plan for school yaaaassss!!!
"The woman saved me from my own cruelty, from my terrible condition" *sobs*
"Now I realized how much I need her." Just stab us in the heart why don't you!!
Serkan is totally picturing Efe's face on that punching bag.
Lmao Engin hitting him with the towel!
Good on Eda for getting the university to agree to a payment plan.
Ooo Serkan is jealous that Eda was willing to use Efes name and not his
Leyla and Seyfi as friends? Yaasss the duo we deserve!!!
Serkan watching Eda throw everything out! Ouch!!!
Someone go dig it all out!!!
Sirius!! Go get Mama's stuff from the trash!!
Engin just wanting to hug Piril
Serkan thinking she poured him coffee but its for Efe
Efe charming everyone even Aydan
Lmao at jealous Serkan sending Efe away. Oh honey you're so bad at staying away from her
"If you are not ready, you should not have accepted me into your life" Damn Eda!
Serkan is so proud of Eda and her presentation/work
Oh Serkan, throwing the presentation because he doesn't want Eda to lose!
And Eda knows he's throwing it too, because she remembers what he was saying in the car.
Engin us so terrible at hiding his relationship with Piril, lol Serkan's smirk.
Yaassss team camping trip!!
I'm glad that Ayfer and Eda made up, but
Yaaaasss Serkan coming to go camping! Casual clothes Serkan!!
"I only came because you are here" we all know exactly who that's directed too
Efe go away we want Eda vs Serkan
Leyla not wanting to pick a side lol
Oooo Selin has to ride with Efe
Lmao Serkan still calling her "Eda honey"
Lmao the look on Serkan's face knowing Eda wants to drive!
The teams should just agree to lock them in a closer until they solve their issues
I'm okay if Efe and Selin end up together, both are competitive enough for each other
Serkan back seat driving
Gorgeous view there!
"What if something happened to you?" Eda don't you get it, it's never about him its always about you!
Selin go away you just ruined things!
Serkan knows where Eda would go of course!
You end it there??????!!!!!!!

MURDER AT TURQUOISE INN: A Nancy Drew Story Written by 10-year-old Yours Truly Readthrough
Alright, guys, you asked for it! It’s pouring down rain outside, I’ve grabbed some tea, I have my entire Nancy Drew game music track playlist going, and I’m ready to crack this s nutcase wide open.
Absolute ridiculousness below: 
The fact that this story is titled “Murder at Turquoise Inn” is already sending me, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I spelled it terquoice on the cover page.
I also started this story out with a letter to Ned. God bless. 
Dear Ned, Beth Robertson was murdered! 
As if Ned (or anyone else) even knows who the fuck Beth Robertson is, Nancy. 
I named the owner of the inn Tina Mulberry, and I think that was very sexy of me. 
“I turned to do something, and when I came back, she was dead on the floor! I could tell because her heart wasn’t beating and she wasn’t breathing!”
I mean… that’ll do it, Tina. That’ll do it. 
Oh, but she can’t prove anything now because she ran to get help and when she returned the body was fucking MISSING.
Bess throws a conniption fit every time someone says “Beth.”
“Oh, hello, Nancy,” she greeted.
“Hello,” Nancy greeted back. 
That is some…some god-tier writing right there. 
I really had no concept of space and time in fifth grade.
It was a huge room. Bigger than the cafeteria in Ned’s college.
Oh, was it? 
A message from the author: Hey kiddos, if you’re snooping around in someone’s closet and you come across a completely conspicuous button just chilling on the wall, don’t press it.
The three girls came out of the closet.
Well, there you have it, folks. Nancy, Bess, and George are gay. Everyone’s gay. Even your cat is gay.
Tina has a niece named Lily who calls her Mrs. Mulberry. Also, Tina consistently neglects her work duties in favor of writing a screenplay at the front desk computer and I have no idea why. 
The murderer is walking around leaving stupid messages with the drawing of a knife on them trying to curse everyone and I’m so confused. Where the hell was I going with this? 
“I KNOW YOU SAW BETH DEAD, BUT IF YOU TELL ANYONE, A DEADLY CURSE WILL FALL UPON YOU.”
WHAT DOES THIS EVEN FUCKING MEAN?
The lines in this thing are really just peak writing:
George took off after him at a safe distance to avoid being seen. But BAD LUCK FOR HER, the man jumped into a car and drove off.
 Someone sabotaged the girls’ rental car while they were away from the hotel, and this couple they literally just met are like: “I just remembered, we have an extra car that we don’t use. You could use that.” Who the fuck–?
Uh, oh. They got back to the hotel and found their own curse lying in Bess’ suitcase:
LAY OFF THE CASE, NANCY DREW. YOU MADE MRS. MULBERRY TELL YOU THE MURDER STORY. NOW THE CURSE IS UPON YOU TOO.” 
This sounds like a ten-year-old wrote it… wAiT A MiNutE–
Literally nothing in this story explains what the curse would even do to them. I love myself.
The culprit: *leaves threatening messages warning people not to speak about the murder or they’ll be cursed*
Nancy:
“Oh, hello,” Jackson greeted.
“Hi,” Nancy said. “Say! Have you heard about the murder?”
I ALMOST SPAT OUT MY TEA.
Also:
“I’m going to the store to, um, get some stuff. Like food.”
“But there’s foot here.”
“I just want to BUY things, okay? You’re so NOSEY!”
Jackson stormed off, leaving Nancy astonished. That put him on her suspect list FOR SURE.
This is a literary gem.
The way the dialogue sounds in this thing…I mean you can just tell the only written media I had been consuming at that time was the 1930′s books. 
“I think,” Nancy replied. “That tomorrow we should go to the place where I followed Jackson.”
Giving me Scooby-Doo vibes too. 
The number of times Bess says something like, “Why, Nancy!” or “This is horrid!” really makes me want to turn this into a drinking game. Take a shot every time Bess speaks like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. 
“Oh, fiddlesticks,” Bess exclaimed. 
No comment. 
Also, Nancy’s unadulterated sass my fifth-grade self gave her is both the worst and the best thing I’ve ever seen: 
“But what if the house isn’t empty?” Bess asked. 
“Bess, please. Ever heard of the word: S-N-E-A-K?”
I want to harpoon myself. 
There’s an elaborate maze of tunnels running underground that connects the hotel to this sketchy house miles away. The characters consistently find themselves back there several times throughout the story and literally nothing about it makes any sense at all, nor is it ever explained.  
“Man, that passageway confuses me,” said George.
Thank you, George, it confuses all of us. 
I’m actually embarrassed about how many times I refer to the group of characters as a “threesome” or a “foursome” in this thing. It’s really just the worst.
The culprit purposefully leaves behind their real initials multiple times in this story and has the audacity to be surprised when they get caught at the end? Iconique™. 
“I’m just a weird ol’ guy, Sweety-Cakes.” 
Ned, are you okay? Was I okay when I wrote this? 
Ned’s coming to visit, and he brings Burt and Dave with him and boy howdy did I forget about those two. 
“This mystery sounds dangerous,” Burt remarked. “Shouldn’t you leave this case to the men?” 
“I’d like to see you try,” Nancy fired back.
Yaaaassss, Queen. Get his ass. 
Also the murderer has now resorted to hitting people with a driverless vehicle and I’m honestly convinced ten-year-old me was on drugs. 
“Good! We were starting to get worried about you.” 
“Oh, don’t worry about me. I…wait…wait, actually, worry about me!” 
The line goes dead here because Lily’s car was uhhhh T-boned. 
My only regret in this story is that the Hardy Boy’s are not here. Although, in hindsight, they’re probably lucky they didn’t get subjected to this shitshow. 
Meanwhile, George thought maybe Bess had made a mistake and walk’s into the men’s bathroom. She walked in but found no one–well, except a bunch of screaming men. 
I don’t even know what to say. 
They went to see Lily in the hospital and Bess got hit by a driverless car in the fucking parking lot. WHAT KIND OF MADWOMAN WOULD WRITE THIS I CAN’T BREATHE.
That night, back at the hotel, Nancy gets lured out of the hotel and into the back forest behind it because someone’ s playing weird music and I’m just now realizing my child self had no idea what kind of theme to run with here (murder, hauntings, curses, GTA) so I just went with all of them at once.
“I could just destroy it,” Ned said as he studied the lock. “Stand back.” Backing up a few yards, he bolted for the cabin door and broke it down with a strong kick. “For Nancy!” he shouted. 
HeR Interactive’s Ned could never.
 So they find Nancy tied up in a cabin in the woods and, lo and behold there’s a trap door that LeADs InTo tHE UnDeRGroUnD TuNnEls. Who’da thunk?
And of course they find a journal written in code, and the code key just happens to have been left in the cabin. 
“I’ve written this journal in code so if anyone finds it, they will not discover my secret. Okay, now that I’ve said that, here is my secret.” 
This is the first line Nancy decodes. I’m…
Naturally, we find out that Beth Robertson was not dead, but just kidnapped (don’t even ask me how the fuck they got her body to appear dead…drugs?) and being held in the underground tunnels. 
Because this makes perfect sense. 
“You seem different. Your voice doesn’t sound the same and you’re a little shorter than you usually…” Tiffany trailed off. “You are Jackson, aren’t you?”
“No,” Ned said. “Thanks for asking.” 
This is 100 times funnier without context so I’m not giving you any. 
I don’t know about you guys, but if I was arranging a meeting with a colleague and they showed up in a ski mask and a hooded cloak, I’d be a little suspicious.
“But you’ re supposed to be delivering Nancy Drew poisonous flowers from her ‘boyfriend.’”
Oh my god this bitch pulls a gun on Ned and together the rest of the group (you know, the ones who haven’t been hit by a car) fucking go APESHIT on this woman’s ass. I CAN’T BREATHE. 
And of course they find Beth tied up somewhere in the tunnels and get her to safety, and they learn that Bess and Lily are recovering well in the hospital and go to visit them and everything’s all bright and happy. 
THE LAST LINE OF THE STORY HAS ME SCREAMING, THOUGH. To the point where I’m just gonna sign off here and leave you all with it. 
“Man.” Lily looked sad. “I wish I hadn’t missed almost the whole thing.” 
Bess spoke up. “I, on the other hand, am glad.”

Mysterylover watches Bleach Episodes 44-45
mysterylover123
1. Vengeful Uryu looks super cool. Angry “I’m gonna kill ya” Shonen heroes always look more badass and sexy than usual. And apparently he’s using a real awesome technique to move his body like a puppet. This form of fighting sounds like a really neat idea.
2. Oh wow UryuDad is a jerk, huh? Other than Ichi’s dad I’m betting all Shonen dads are contractually obligated to be assholes. 
3. Super Saiyan Uryu, as I am now dubbing him, is definitely fast. I love how ridiculously speedy Shonen heroes get when they power up. Oh and now he has to wear a sexy glove all the time? Definitely lovin’ this power up.
4. Wawit wait didn’t Grandpa say that if he takes off the glove he’ll lose his powers for good? Is Ishida gonna seriously be all Togata’d on us and spend the rest of this arc without abilities?!
5. Uryu are you seriously gonna offer to let this asshole go? Like, regardless of your revenge quest and stuff, this guy is obviously bad news. Paralyzed his own assistant, threatened to experiment on Hime, then you, then laughed about killing your grandpa. And he’s a soul reaper so he’s basically already dead. He’s clearly pure evil. Please be the Scar of this show Uryu. This guy is the Shou Tucker and we need at least one anti-hero to ax him off.
6. Aw dammit it looked like Uryu had finally killed him and then he went and liquified himself. Goddammit I need someone to show up and kill this asshole yesterday. 
7.  Uryu has been poisoned and clearly needs a cure. Gee, if only you hadn’t gotten rid of your healer. And instead Shinigami lieutenant heals him. And for some reason is glad that Skullface isn’t dead. WTF? Why?!
8. Ishi heads to Ruki’s prison cell thinking about how Ichigo wants to save Ruki and he’s gonna beat him to it. And then gets confronted by another gorram soul reaper guard. Dammit how many are there?
9. ...Aaaand we’re back to Ichigo and Cat Lady training. I assume Ishi’s gonna be fine but still.
10. So Ichigo’s training here is basically the Holy Grail scene from Indiana Jones 3 but with swords. “You chose...poorly.”
11. ...and now we’re all of a sudden seeing something from the POV of some random Soul Reaper guy. Um, worldbuilding I guess? (Why does this episode have schizophrenia?)
12. Hanataro’s been arrested. Dammit Ichi all your companions are screwed. You better get on it and start saving them.
13. RENJI’S BACK AND HAVING RENRUKI FLASHBACKS!!!! YAAAASSSS. C’mon Renji! Break out and help the heroes save Ruki! They bungled it big time (by benching Hime, let’s be real here) and need your whacky brand of help.
14. ORIHIME!!! HIME AGAIN!!! AND SHE’S MEETING PINK HAIR?!?!!? TINY PINK HAIR SHINIGAMI IS MEETING HIME?! WHY’D WE SPEND THE WHOLE EPISODE PUTZING AROUND WITH RANDOM PLOT FACTOIDS WHEN WE COULD’VE SPENT THE WHOLE EP ON THIS? 
15. And of course Hime instantly befriends the soul reapers and they agree to follow her around. Because Soul Reaper society maybe jerks but they know greatness when they see it. 
16. Uryu Ganju and Chad are all stuck in a cell together huh. OK. And Chad thinks they caught Hime cause she’s ‘not much a fighter’? Oh please. We’ve already seen that Hime is fine and winning the day. Ya’ll are just jealous.
17. “I say we wait for Ichigo” Why does that remind me of something? “Just remember your place and wait for Goku”. Damn that power creep settin in early huh?
18. And apparently the swords are a metaphor for Ichigo’s weaknesses? SO is this like that Teen Titans episode inside Raven’s head with the different emoticon Ravens? Will this arc end with a ton of swords fusing together in Ichigo’s mind to create a model new Ichigo? Who knows. Just gonna get crazy I suppose.

So, over on Twitter I saw this post,
Tumblr media
and it was funny looking at the comments and how the same word had so many variations depending on where you lived, especially with slang.
But then later I was reading fanfiction and it was a good fic and the characters weren’t OOC or anything but, there was this one word that clearly the author of that fic uses but those characters would definitely not, to the point where it annoyed me because appart from this one word, the character was perfect, and then I’d run into this word and it would ruin the image in my head.
And it got me thinking like, should we pedantic about which variations of words you use, despite the fact that everyone still understands exactly what you’re saying and it all still makes sense, just to have perfect characterisation.
I mean like, I am Australian, so I say mum not mom but if I wrote a fic with an American character I’d have them say mom because that’s in character and the accent and vowel sounds are different.
But we also say colour not color so do I then swap it to color despite it being pronounced pretty much the same and everyone knowing what I mean?
For example if I had Luke Skywalker say that he likes the colour of Leia’s dress, would that annoy some potential reader as much as I got annoyed at the word that was misused in the fic I read today?
What about Yes? There are so many variations of Yes. Yes, Yeah, Yep, Yea, Ya, Nah Yeah, No Yeah, Yup, Yaaaassss; without getting into Ok, Of Course, Sure, etc.
For example in the MCU:
If we’re staying in character, there is no way in hell that Pepper Potts, the most eloquent lady of the MCU would say, Ya. She’d say Yes to strangers and aquaintences and occasionally Yeah or Yep to Tony or Rhodey or Happy. Not Ya or Yas or even Yea.
Tony Stark in the MCU has said Yes, Yep, Yup, Yeah, and Yeah-huh (which was some weird combo of Yeah and Uh-huh), he has not said Ya or Yas.
Scott Lang on the other hand probably would say Ya and Luis has probably said Yas (but I could be wrong, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Ant-Man).
Now it’s not like if someone wrote Pepper Potts saying Ya, I’d immediately go to the comments and be like “Pepper Potts would never say Ya! Change it!” because that’s pretty damn rude and it’s not really that big of a problem overall and it’s not like I have no idea what’s she’s saying now that a different word has been used.
Also fanfic authors aren’t paid (except in our love but that doesn’t really count), so we don’t harass them if they’ve used a word we don’t like or spelt something wrong or made a grammatical error. They don’t have professional editors so if they miss something then that’s not their fault.
But it would take away from my experience as a reader because now I’m sitting there debating to myself on whether or not Pepper would ever say Ya. Maybe she has said it in the comics? I haven’t read any Iron Man comics I wouldn’t know. Maybe she did say it to Tony once in the movies and I’ve forgotten? and then I’d end up sitting there thinking to myself trying to remember her saying it, rather than focusing on the story.
Anyway that’s just my weird ruminations. Let me know if there’s any particular word you’re seen misused for a particular character. Does anyone else get pedantic about this or does it not bother you.

Arrow 7x21 Brain Dump
Late, late review…oops! This episode was SO GOOOOOD!!!! I’ve seen a real mix of reactions for 7x21, but personally I LOVED IT!! TOMMY MERLYN guys…nuff said!! Obviously, it was painfully Olicity-light, which is criminal given our time restrictions, but when an episode was this good, I can overlook some things haha! I’m going to take it as an episode in its own right, even if we should have had it earlier in the season, again. I actually thought that this would be a short review this week as, being a bottle episode, not a lot really happens. But with Tommy back in play, a whole boatload of emotions, and my flash-forward Olicity babies being back in play, it got long as usual. Sorrynotsorry.
Oliver and TOMMY!!!!
Oh Oliver. Poor Oliver went through it this week. The episode picks up where we left off last week with Oliver in a concrete sandwich (luckily dodging all the rebar), after sister-dearest dropped a building on him. Coming to, he calls for Overwatch and John (he knows who’s important) he looks up and we hear:
“Need some help?”
Tumblr media
*Roll titles* Da da da da da da dah-da!!🏹
More beneath the cut
TOMMYTOMMYTOMMYTOMMYTOMMYTOMMY!!!!! Once more for the haters….TOMMY MERLYN!!!! YAAAAASSSSS!!!! In case it isn’t clear, I love me some Tommy Merlyn 😍😍 I will gladly accept any and every version of him that they can give us. Rat Poison Hallucination Tommy? Yup. Flashback Tommy? Sure. Earth 27.3 Evil Clown Tommy? Bring it! Any version, any time, anywhere, I’m there! So that is where I stand on the Tommy Merlyn debate haha! I loved how he was used in this episode. For me it didn’t feel like it had been overdone before, as I’ve seen some people say. We have actually had very little Tommy since he died. We have only had him as a ghost/hallucination for one tiny scene in 2x09 (I’m not counting the Alien dream as he didn’t even speak, and was just a really bad CGI job), since then he’s been back either in flashback, Earth X, or Human Target form, so the opportunity for a prolonged vision-Tommy, as the voice of Oliver’s morality?? Sign me the hell up!!
Colin still knows, and plays Tommy so damn well. He slips straight back into the character, and he is so like the character we knew from S1 conversationally, and in his mannerisms. How he has differentiated between the various versions we have seen over the seasons is just testament to Colin’s acting ability. Ugh, he’s fabulous.
So Oliver escapes from the rubble with help from Tommy and a trick arrow, and then a whole emotional rollercoaster ensues for a decent portion of the episode. I liked that straight off the bat, Oliver notes that he must have a concussion, he knows he’s dreaming, and he doesn’t care, he just goes along with it for the opportunity to ‘speak’ to his oldest friend again. I was living for the easy nostalgic conversations they had. They joked about the whole secret half-sister thing they now shared, with a cute little nod to Thea, Tommy’s beard 😂and a story of ‘Ollie’ hotwiring Malcolm’s car and getting grounded. This was so cute and light, given the dire circumstances.

The conversation eventually turns round to Serious Things, and a hashing out of Oliver’s duelling feelings on Emiko, on redemption, on killing for the right or wrong reasons. Oliver’s Daddy issues manifest, and it was emotional to see just how fucked up Oliver still is by the actions of Robert and Malcolm.
Tommy warns him that he needs to break free of his and Robert’s cycle of lies and hate that he is trapped in. He has a chance of a clean slate, to keep his past from hurting his kids, but Oliver won’t listen, convinced that he must kill Emiko to keep his family safe. He eventually breaks out of the room and joins the team. Not heeding Tommy or Dig’s words of caution, he leaves the team and pursues Emiko, intent on killing her. She tells him she knows about the baby, and the rage we saw on Oliver’s face was epic!
Tumblr media
Despite Dig catching up with him and telling him not to, Oliver takes aim and shoots Emiko in the chest, killing her. However, when Oliver turns around he sees that Diggle has an arrow in his chest, and he falls down to his death, where we see the rest of the team, also all arrowed!! Then snap!! Back to Tommy…it was all a dream.

WRITERS, NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE JOHN THOMAS DIGGLE DIE!! 😭😭😭
We get back to Oliver with Tommy, with Oliver crying over Dig’s ‘death’ 😭 no baby nooo!!! Tommy tells him his vision was a “reminder of what it feels like”. Oliver replies "Of seeing my loved ones die? Of seeing my family be threatened?" His voice breaking on the family part ended me 😭😭😭
Tumblr media

Tommy likens these feelings to how Robert must have felt; that fear leads to vengeance then to cruelty and abandonment. And that as long as Oliver keeps giving in to his worst impulses, he will never be free of Robert’s cycle. He advises him on what he needs to do regarding Emiko.
A lot of Tommy’s words to Oliver here and throughout the episode sounded more like Felicity in their nature, from the lighter parts:
Tumblr media

To the more supportive words he had for Oliver: 
“Lean in to the best parts of yourself; your loyalty, your selflessness, your courage, your compassion, and show that side to Emiko. You are living proof that people can change, and you’ve got to find a way to see that in her too.” 😍
I can almost hear Felicity telling him ‘Tommy’s’ words. And this makes sense, with being a dream/hallucination and all. These are all voices in Oliver’s head; a mix of his own thoughts and the words of the two people who knew him best before (Tommy) and after (Felicity) the island. So, once more for the Tommy haters in the back…this wasn’t a conversation between ‘Tommy’ and Oliver, Oliver wasn’t asking for Tommy’s opinion; it was an internal dialogue between two conflicting desires within Oliver; it was Oliver’s conscience having a little tête-à-tête.
Oliver hears the team coming for him, and realises his time with Tommy is up. He says goodbye to his friend by telling him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media

DEADED! Sobbing.like.a.baby. This felt like a true, final goodbye. Oliver took his realisation from ‘Tommy’. He knows what he has to do to stop Emiko and keep his soul and his family safe.
Anyway the team rescue Oliver and take him back to the lair, where they learn that Emiko and co. have stolen back the bioweapon from last week and are in the middle of slaughtering the SCPD, with Emiko dressed as Oliver *le sigh*. Oliver confronts her on the roof of the SCPD (ah, the memories…), has the opportunity to kill her, but doesn’t. He tries to reach her, offers her a chance at redemption once more “help me end our family’s cycle of violence”. Instead, half-sister-supervillain tells him she is going to kill him, his family and his city, then dares him to kill her. Oliver tells her no, and she actually looks…disappointed?? Then just zooms away on a zipwire arrow…see you next week Emiko!! The team arrive on the roof, just as an SCPD helicopter arrives to apprehend them….the end!
With regards to Oliver’s stance on not killing Emiko…I am totally ok with it. I don’t think its’s character regression on his part, it’s his choice to end a cycle of violence and guilt. I wrote a little more on redemption here, but my personal take is that redemption isn’t necessary for Emiko, just the opportunity of it. Oliver could easily detain her indefinitely and help her to redeem herself, or not, that is her choice. But it is important to Oliver that he tries his hardest to give that chance to her. I hope that he sees her choice in the matter by the end, and doesn’t continue beating the proverbial dead horse. (Or, you know, that someone else just kills her, or she falls off a cliff or something 😂)
Olicity
Tumblr media
Ok, yes, I was hoping for more this week…a hug at least! We got the concern and the love, both separately and very briefly face-to-face 😡. Much as in my perfect world all episodes would be full of Olicity moments, this week, taken as a standalone, didn’t need a lot of Olicity in order to be a good episode. It was a great episode…on it’s own, in a vacuum. But it’s the penultimate Olicity episode ever. I would have liked more focus, that’s all.
Anyway, here’s the pretty:

Felicity
Felicity wasn’t the primary focus of the episode, this was definitely an Oliver episode, but given her dual storylines in the present and the FFs, we still got a lot of her on our screens. My gripe is that this would have been fine in any other episode, but this was her penultimate show!! But it is what it is…onwards and upwards and all that!
We first see her, back at Smoak Tech HQ, where Alena tells her that the SCPD are there with a warrant. All Felicity wants is some tech to help her locate Oliver (said tech is being manhandled by ‘Lieutenant Butterfingers’ LOVE HER 😂😂), but Sergeant Bingsley (ugh) has other ideas. Emiko has sent them the footage of Roy killing the guards, and they also linked the Ninth Circle bomb to Archer, and Archer back to Smoak Tech, and he is there to arrest Felicity…RUDE!!! Felicity and Alena escape, by taking out all the officers with a supercharged Canary Cry-esque burst from Felicity’s security system. YAAAASSSS GIRL!! 👑👑👑
I liked the focus on Alena and Felicity’s friendship in this episode; meant to mirror the ‘reveal’ in the FFs, and set up Felicity’s leaving, no doubt. Alena tells her that of course she will help her “I’m not letting you do this alone”, and they head to the bunker to find Oliver and the team. (Side thought: if the team are now working for the SCPD, why don’t they SCPD know where the lair is? Why don’t they go there to arrest Felicity/Roy/anyone else? Huh.) Felicity gets in touch with the team, but not Oliver, and helps to guide them through the building. Classic Overwatch. I loved how Alena was all of us when she asks Felicity how she breathes when she does this!
Then we see Emiko show up at the lair. Change. the. locks. people! 
Tumblr media
Source: felicitysmoakgifs
NOOOOOOO!!!! Save baby Mia!! But now Emiko knows agggghhhhhh!!!!! I loved Felicity’s attempt at reasoning with her; her baby is innocent, just as Emiko was, and it seemed to work, as Emiko left them unharmed. This was really a reality check moment for Felicity, of the direct danger that her baby would/could be put in if they continue this lifestyle as it is for much longer. I think Felicity is just so naturally positive, and has such faith in her own abilities, and in Oliver, that she had honestly believed that they would all be ok up until now.
Tumblr media
Source: feilcityqueen
Felicity’s reality, her feelings, (and her hormones) all come crashing upon her at once, as she compares her situation to her own childhood experiences. And where she had always hoped that things would be different when she had her own children. Her whole speech about her comparing her childhood with her dreams for her own children, and her doubting her parenting ability was just heart-breaking:  
“Growing up my parents made my life miserable, and I promised myself I would do better when I became a parent...I imagined this life and this is not it. Somehow I have done something worse...I can’t even keep my children safe.” 😭😭😭
NOOO!!! I just wanted to give her a hug! This leads into Alena suggesting that there’s ‘another way’ for Felicity. She tells Felicity that she can go off the grid, run the company remotely, but raise her family with Oliver in private, away from the SCPD and all the ungrateful fucks in Star City (I may have paraphrased slightly there!). This seed planted here is likely going to be how we see Felicity written out in the finale next week 😭
Tumblr media

Team Arrow
Roy Freaking Harper. The man. The legend. Love him. He’s the hero Team Arrow has deserved, and has been missing. NTA could never. And it was never more apparent than in this episode. After the blast, Felicity gets in touch with them and updates them with the SCPD developments. 
Tumblr media
As the generator kicks back in, they realise that the blast bringing the building down blew out a gas line and the whole of the lower level is filled with a toxic and flammable gas. Gas + generator = BOOM (hmmm this plot sound very familiar). Unfortunately the generator is on that same lower level, and needs turning off in order to save them all from going up in flames.  So on one side we have Rene crying over his rep, Dinah bitching about losing her job and saying that Roy should give himself up to save the rest of the team. Then we have Roy, who just parkours straight into the toxic gas, sacrificing himself to turn off the generator and save the team. Eat it NTA. And they did! The overreaction by Rene, and especially Dinah, who sinks to the ground like the love of her life has just been killed (again 😬) is just ridiculous! Roy, being the badass parkour ninja bunny that he is, manages to jump back up and out of the gas. Yay Roy! Next thing, Dinah’s guilt clearly kicks in and she’s giving a still remorseful Roy a pep talk, telling him how the world and the team needs a hero like him. What the actual fuck Dinah? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND! This woman could win the world yo-yo championships. Her weekly, or hourly, flip-flopping from one completely different viewpoint to another is tedious, exhausting and whiplash inducing. Go away. I beg of you. This pep-talk should have come from Dig. He’s Uncle Dig, pep-talks are his jam. And he would actually believe and stand by his words. Instead, Dig was sidelined again for more ridiculous bird action, because comics.
Roy’s guilt and apparent suicidal tendencies over the pit-rage-fuelled killings last week, combined with Dinah’s “dying is the coward’s way out, every day that you stay alive you try to redeem yourself” can only be leading to his exile on Lian Yu, surely? That will be where he seeks his redemption. But 20 years?? Man, I think he might have some more pit-mishaps coming up first!
FFs
My boy William is back!!! YAY!!! We got some overdue future family Clayton-Smoak-Queen feels this week. First off, just look at these little Olicity babies…those expressions!!!! 😍
Tumblr media
Felicity says that in order to stop the Archer-powered Army, they need to take Archer down for good. William tries to help, with a ‘quick and dirty virus’, but Felicity denies him, insisting that he keeps safe. He rebuts with another plan to take Archer down by hacking Slimy Galaxy One Dude in proximity, employing a little flirty-flirt…Season 1 Felicity reference FTW!!!! Felicity again tells him no, that she wants him safe. This leads to him blowing up at being excluded, just like when he was a kid, and his anger at being left behind come up. Felicity apologises for not coming back for him, and tells him they just wanted him safe, and to have a normal life, but she is interrupted by a hacking emergency and Will walks off. This leads to him opening up to Mia about his feelings of abandonment, and this was another chance for us to see Mia’s softer, empathetic side, especially in her defence of Felicity. She reminds him that Felicity was still watching over him, that she backed his company and helped him to succeed, to which William replies “I didn’t need her money, Mia, I needed a mother” 😭😭 I just want to hug him!! Mia tells him that the only way to come to terms with it, and to find out their real reasons for ‘abandoning’ him is to confront her head on. This never gets to happen in the episode, but this conversation must surely mean that this will happen next week? And I’m guessing her answer will come with a surprise of some sort (hopefully of the Oliver-variety!!).
Will decides to ignore Felicity, and goes to hack Archer directly from Slimy Guy, who is still as cringe-inducing as ever. Not nearly as cringeworthy, however, as Rene’s terrible hair, as he is brought out as the man who ‘inspired’ the Zeta project?? Ugh, ratty rats must be killed. Squeak squeak Rene! Slimeball gets an alert and leaves them, only to return moments later with a gaggle of Zeta soldiers. They have detected William’s DNA, and Slimer announces that he knows who William really is, with “Such a pleasure to finally meet the son of Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak”!!!!! I adore hearing him be called both of theirs son soooo much!!
Meanwhile, back in the lair, we meet the “mad scientist that converted Archer into Frankenstein’s monster” (Felicity’s words haha), who turns out to be non-other than…Alena! Ok, so not the biggest reveal ever, but I still loved the scene. Felicity summoned her to help destroy Archer by freezing her bank accounts and passport (still got it!), and we get to see angry protective Mia confronting her, while Alena looks at her, rather softly, and laments:
Tumblr media
Source: eloquence-of-felicities
She then goes on to apologise to Dinah for what happened to her Canaries. And she means it. She explains how she came to releasing Archer to Galaxy One. I liked here how they didn’t go with her being an outright evil mastermind...she tried to license out the program, then was subject to a hostile takeover, and had her loved ones threatened by Slimey Dude Kevin Dale. A shared look between them implied that maybe her 'loved ones' possibly included Felicity? Or maybe just that she was hoping Felicity would empathise with that choice? We never get to know, because the lair is suddenly swarmed with Zetas, as the remaining team (minus Connor and Zoe) are apprehended by Galaxy One. 
To be continued…
Bonus:
Tumblr media
William: *hacks*, Felicity: *that’s mine*, Mia: *who can I punch?*
So yes, exciting times in both timelines!! ONE EPISODE LEFT GUYS!!! HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE IT?!?! 😬😬😬
Thank you as always to the fabulous gif makers, you beautiful people! 😍😍 (The uncredited, poor quality gifs are mine haha!)

A Rose In Harlem
OC x Erik Story
Based on Teyana Taylor’s VII & KTSE
@chaneajoyyy
Warnings: Implied smut! Language, Angst.
X: Show & Prove
The morning of the show
Syd woke up from what she felt was a dream. It had been the most sleep she’s gotten all week, a solid six hours. She checked her phone, 7:10 AM. She remembered tapping out and closing her eyes around 1:30 AM. What seemed to slip her mind was Sin being next to her. She jolted up at his beautiful naked frame. He was still sleeping, his hair fell every which way. She smiled to herself remembering his kisses sporadically falling across her collarbone and chest as their bodies moved in unison. She glazed her fingertips where his lips once were and smiled even harder. Her phone going off snapped her out of the daydream.
“Hello?” “Syeda! What time are you gonna head out for the show? The venue is gonna be available for us at seven.” “I’ll be there then, Ayana.” Yasin must’ve been a light sleeper because her loud whisper woke him up. He rose with a deep loud groan while he yawned, in which Yani heard loud and clear. “Gi--Girl! You got sum?! You and plumber bae got it in last night!?” “Shut up Yani! Shhhh!” “Nuh uh! Syeda Mariposa! I heard his fine ass! I know we been stressed out and shit too! And I know you bitch! You gave it up!” Yani gave Syd a round of applause, “I was beginning to wonder wtf was wrong with you. It’s almost been a year since you got them walls beat!” Syd brushed past Yasin with a smile and closed the bathroom door behind her, “It’s only been nine months. If you must know, nosey. Yes, I did. and He’s not just plumber bae anymore. He’s my bae.”
“Yaaaassss Syd! I’m proud of you! Making strides in fashion and in love! I’m inspired, I may stop playing and give your mystery neighbor a call.” “Girl, he’s in Berlin. He said he’ll be back next week though, if you forreal.” Yani sighed, “Yeah, I’m forreal, mami. It’s about time I finally settle down too, and he’s nice.. I guess. I can try him out, see what he’s about. Plus, him not always being around is a plus because you know how I likes my space!” Syd giggled at her friend, “Yeah, don’t I!” “Yeah, yeah! Bitch, you don’t gotta be so inclined to agree.” “Bitch you not gon act like we didn’t try living together before I moved in here and you didn’t throw me out!” Yani’s tone changed to a matter of fact-like as she replies, “I didn’t throw you out! I simply gave you options for new places to live.” Syd sucked her teeth, “Bitch, you threw me out.” “Whatever! Let’s agree to disagree on the matter! Besides, you may wanna get some good morning dick because we got a long day ahead of us! Get some for me too while you at it! A bitch is in the office and I haven’t had none since before the holidays.” Syd cringed, “Ew. Girl Bye!”
--
Erik woke up to a warm feeling below him, as his eyes blinked open a few times he realized what was going on. “Oh shit! Good morning.” Gina decided to wake up her interest with some morning head. Her head was slowly bobbing up and against this pelvis until his member got hard and long enough that it activated her gag reflex. “Relax that throat baby.” She moans at his request and eased her way back down to his pelvis again, collecting more spit down his shaft. She placed one hand on him, maneuvering it up and down as she slurped him up like a melting cone on a July sunset as his head flew back on the arm of Zig’s couch. He gripped her by her hair and pulled her face up to his, their lips played against one another as she sank onto him.
“Good morning.” She finally replied to his previous greeting before kissing him again.
--
The evening soon approached as Syd hopped in the Uber XL with all of her clothing, accessories, and materials in tow. Yani was already at 583 Park Avenue, waiting for her to arrive. She’d been recieving texts and calls from all of the models, some invited guests, Myles, and Yasin even though he’d just left her sights hours before she departed from her house.
“Hey baby. I know your nerves are on ten! Just breathe! You got this. I’ll see you once it’s done.
-Sin”
Syd clutched at her heart in joy at her new boyfriend’s support. The uber driver stopped as close to the service entrance as he could, “Alright, we are here Miss Syd. You need any help?” “Uhhh...yes please? Thank you!” Allen, the driver, unloaded Syd’s belongings and escorted them into the venue. Yani came outside to help him as Syd’s attention fell immediately on set design. The contractors put down the black glitter floors already and Iyo was setting up his laptop to the projector. She slipped backstage to find her MUAs hooking everyone up as she saw the last model finally arriving to set.
Gina waltzed in the show as if she was the hottest thing since Takis, strutting like she’s on the runway backstage, and she was twenty minutes late. Not only that, but she showed up needing a visit to a hair stylist and makeup. “Syd, hey girl. Listen, I’m sorry I had a long day. Me and E..” “I’m sorry but, this has to do with the show..how, exactly?” Gina giggled, saying in a boastful tone, “Me and E lost track of time, that’s why I’m late.” Syd gave her a glance over and stopped as she looked back up at her, “Hm, so that’s why you let him tag you up on the night of my fashion show too?” The right side of Gina’s neck was riddled with dark hickeys. Syd was really disgusted at the display that stood in front of her.
Gina just smiled, “I’m sorry, I’m sure GiGi can cover it up.” Syd muttered, tight lipped, “She wouldn’t have to cover shit if you could’ve remembered you had a job to do tonight and it’s all about image.” Gina rolled her eyes, “So do you want me to see if she can do it or not? Ya know, you’ve been giving me shit since you met me.. You got a thing with Erik I don’t know about? That your man that showed up last night don’t know about?” Syd had it, she stepped up on Gina really slow, looked her square in her eye as she stated, “What you do with your personal time with Erik or anyone else is of no concern to me. However, when you come into the most important night of my life, and possibly yours if you pull this off, looking freshly fucked less than two hours before showtime..that is my concern. So what I need you to do is firstly, get up with Nina and Xierra, see if they can work a miracle with what’s on your head. I’LL have a talk with GiGi and see if she can cover your shit up. And trust me, after this show, you’ll be out of my hair.”
Gina scowled, “Okay. If you say so..boss.” and with that, she disappeared. Syd hasn’t been so mad in so long. Professionally speaking, she was mad at Gina. Personally speaking, she was conflicted. Her and Erik hadn’t spoken in weeks, so she knew she really technically couldn’t be mad at him for getting with Gina. Hell, she got with Yasin. Yes, it was unexpected, but damn. She just wasn’t expecting for Erik to get back like that. Syd shook off those personal feelings and thoughts, she immediately began to dress her models that were finished with makeup. Syd dressed her models one by one as they came out.
Von, Sam, Johan, Levi, Jade, Deanna, Phoe(nix), Sevin, Nina, Essence, Xierra, Leon, Warren, Cass, Omir, Cayson, Nadia, Zaniya, Jorge, King, Tammi, Quanna, Lyric, and Gina. 
Well, as Gina finally got up from Gigi performing makeup surgery to cover up her night before, Syd actually needed to cool herself down so Myles ended up dressing her. Gina was sizing him up as he was cascading the clothes on her, “Girl, I’d be barking up the wrong damn tree. This is strictly professional! Get the damn clothes on!”
Syd stepped out front where she caught a glance of Erik on the phone. She just leaned against the wall of the building, knowing it was facing East, she bowed her head and started her second prayer of the day. Her and Yasin did the first of the day together when they finally got out of bed. She hoped for a perfect, smooth show; for sound and production to go off without a hitch, and for her show to receive rave reviews. Her head rose and met Erik’s. “Wassup princess, you good?” The second thing Syd instantly took notice of was Erik’s matching hickeys on the left side of his neck. She hung her head back down, “Yeah. I’m good. Nervous that’s all.”
“You got this Syeda. Just breathe, relax. I think someone wants to congratulate you though..” She lifted her head and saw Ziggy with a huge bouquet of Sunflowers, Syeda’s favorite flower, and the hugest grin, “I heard my fly ass neighbor was gon kill her fashion show tonight!” Syd’s face lit up as she held on to Zig for dear life, “Greg! Ahhhhhhh! Thank you for coming! But how? I thought you were working?” He sighed, “Well, Tony wrapped early so I hopped on the first flight out. I couldn’t miss your big day if I didn’t have to!” Syd accepted her flowers, “My favorite!” “Only for you Miss Syd!” “Thank you so much Zig, I feel so much better! You can go ahead and grab a seat.
“Well, well! Looks like Someone beat me to the punch!” Syeda’s ears perked up at her man’s voice, she turned her attention to Yasin. He had on a black velvet two piece suit with a white button down, his hair in a high bun. Looking like he belonged on her runway tonight. Syd’s smile became impossibly wider, “Hey, you.” Yasin wrapped his arms around her and gave her multiple pecks on her lips. She momentarily forgot about the two men behind her. Erik loudly cleared his throat, stoically stalking them with a look of dislike, “Oh, my bad. I don’t think you two ever met, Yasin, this is Zigg, my neighbor. Zigg, this is my man Yasin.” “Ya man?” Erik questioned Syd in joking tone, Yasin replied, “Yeah, Erik, was it?” Erik stood opposite of Yasin, sizing him up, “Yup. That’s me.”
Yani was right on time, “Syd, I--” She quickly pieced together the scene she walked out to, “I need you inside. You need to get dressed and into makeup.” Syd grabbed Yasin’s hand as she instructed everyone to just grab a seat and the show would be starting in thirty minutes.
--
Syeda decided on her look for the night, her blazer dress was accompanied with her black turtle neck underneath and her boots. GiGi gave her a fire gold glitter eye shadow, snatched her face with a mean contour and golden highlighter, and set the look with the bold ombre burgundy to red lip. Syd decided to wear her hear in a slick curly ponytail with her signature two sideburn pieces, and of course, keeping true to where she came from, she bought a new set of heart shaped gold bamboo earrings with her entire name spelled out, matched with her necklace her father gave her. She stepped out of the green room to all of her models, Yani, and Myles. Everybody wooped for Syeda’s look for the night.
“Daaaaammmn Mami! You looking hot tonight! Muy Muy caliente!” “Gracias, Jorge!” She bowed to her homie and continued, “Ok everyone, this is it! It’s crunch time. Just to give you a little run down for the confirmed guest list; reps from Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Pink Pyramid, Hermes, plenty of my partners from undergrad have their own fashion lines, photographers looking for models, Ford Models, L.A. Models, and even more. Ya’ll dreams are right past that curtain. I need ya’ll personalities and confidence. Shine like the stars you are, Alright?” Everyone yelled, “Alright!” she continued, “Alright! To UPTXWN!”
--
The show was every single thing Syd prayed for. The models ATE. The crowd looked satisfied with the show. Byron snapped pictures of everyone walking up and down the runway, Syeda was a nervous wreck the entire show. Biting down on her nails holding on to her best friend’s hands for dear life when she wasn’t changing out her models with her. They finished all of the models final looks she stood behind Gina, as she was the last model to walk out before her. Gina sized her up and rolled her eyes, Syeda gave her a smug look as Yani caught it, she stated, “That bitch is dead to you after this, and if anyone in here asks about her to me, her ass is grass.” Syd just nodded. Every model walked onto the platform and a mic was handed to Yani as she announced her best friend, “And now, the creative behind the UPTXWN styling brand, Syeda Diaz!” 
The entire crowd rose in applause as each side of the platform was filled with all twenty-four models, twenty-three of which were following suit in applause. Gina just painted on a fake smile for the spectators. Syeda did her walkthrough and waved each way down the runway. She caught glimpses of all of the faces she’s seen while making a name for herself in the high fashion world as well as the faces of old classmates and her boyfriend. Her face went blank when she saw a face she’d never thought she’d see ever again, her ex boyfriend. Marcellus.

Jane's helping clean the chandelier? and Adele is helping as well, that's cool. wtf this kids a moron getting herself headdown stuck in a vase and JAne smashes that shit and snaps at Rochester's amused quip at breaking his shit and blanche laughs and Jane turns on her lol what a savage and storms off. dancing around her room to the sound of the music downstairs that's nice and cute I'd do the same thing ahaha. she's all petulant cause brought blanche who hasn't been introduced properly? is she gonna put her fancy dress on? no? i hope not. damn they're in a ball room? nice. blanche has dark hair and looks much older than any other, not a bad thing just different. they call her beautiful and pretty - not even trying to pretend she's plain and simple. he's suddenly all over her staring intensely and accompanying her into the room and now they're dancing no way? no? no. governesses and landowners don't dance? she's down here without adele. he's sad she didn't dress up - she didn't want to appear as anything than what she is : a governess! at least she's proud of it. he's amused. and charmed. she thinks he's mocking her. now they're being introduced - an interesting way of doing things but rather natural compared to immediately knowing each other. Adele's sitting here with some old guy talking shit about people wow that's mean. fkn kids and this lord ingram is encouraging the hell out of her ahaha. but when she taunts him suddenly its not so funny ahaha. blanche is nice but sarcastic? it's a wedding party ooooh? adele m8 letting things slip? it's 2am and she's dreaming of him - and damn she's going straight for the curtains with that candle and its not lighting? then we see an altogether put together lady return with teh candle to the room upstairs before crazy cackling. god Jane is pretty. oh shit the house is on fire. nah just his room. there's no dramatic music - yes! she's the one to tear down the curtains and open the window - she's legit the most assertive main character i've seen - he's woken up and the fire is like already out. she's got this sorted all he has to do is give her a blanket 'why didn't you call for help?' 'I didn't think it necessary...' noice. here have some alcohol - from the same cup: might as well kiss. she burnt her hands and HE KISSED THEM. she's like bye. she is outies not taking any of his affections like she got better things to do, like sleep. he's in her room? he brought her a book. they're standing very close. he wants her to help redecorate the west wing - he's quite sure he's getting married in a month and that she'll have things to suit the lady's taste. eyeyeyeyyy. its a pupppppppppppyyyyy. oh it's adele's room. ohmygod so fuckin cute rochester is putting adele to bed and she's saying that she wants an aunt that she can choose and she wants it to be miss eyre and he says she wont have them and she says he has to ask her and she'll make sure she says yes.

'can't you see i've been falling in love with you all of this time?' rochester yaaaassss. she's not about to argue lol. whoops - 'you must never decieve me again' she chides lovingly and he laughs and shakes his head. like duuuuude i haven't forgotten this is Jane Eyre. okay he's very handsome and she's gorgeous what a lovely couple. now she's dressed in enormous dresses and jewels much more fitting now I suppose, though she did just say she didn't want to be lavished and pampered. oh what the fuck lol what 'edward my husband!' ahaha oh shit bertha just popped nicely out of nowhereeeee -'you can't separate me from my husband again! no one shall!' oh shit. oh shit. wow that was so brushed over - 1930s sensibilities??? Jane's like uhhhh what was that explain yourself he's like I love you you make me so happy i didn't want to tell you I was married to a psycho that I keep in the attic and take care of. she almost forgave him then he rushed off to help with his violent wife - what she gon do?? she waiting forever surely not she's better than that. yas ohmygod is she gone?

She was awesome, he was handsome and had his fine moments. It was cute af m8 noice.

I.. Have spawned a new AU. -💀
i saw!! it’s p cute, and like usual i have A Lot of thoughts on this so click on the read more to see everything lol
Band 1: Storm Surge
this is basically just perfect lol, love the song choice as well
i’d change cu chu to ravana, i think cu chu fits nicely into summer boys bc he’s a cutie and i’m here for a boy band courting the vote based on looks lol. mind you i also think that his ambition fits p nicely w/ lead guitar but i also think ravana’s v level-headed and cool which i think fits w/ the vibe of bass y’know
Band 2: Summer boys
if you wanna add cu chu then i’d also add erlang shen :^3 erlang’s v cute and i dunno, maybe he’s got some sexy pipes or something lol. also maybe consider adding xbal?? he’s not nearly as twinky as apolllo and merc but he’s v cute as well
i like the song a lot as well but i’m more thinking one of those typical boy bands bc something like blue’s all rise always sends me (it’s wickedly catchy tho lol). otherwise just go w/ an nsync/backstreet boys song if you want a more boy band feel lol :^P
Band 3: Chinese Dream
i also really love this band, jing wei and ne zha is a great combo and the song is kinda cute ngl…. personally i’d just make them sing some sorta k-pop song tho sadlfkjlllkjlk.
it’s not k-pop (it’s j-pop lol) but i think the whole aesthetic and sound of femm’s up up and away is super cool and i can imagine the duo doing some really flashy acrobatics and choreo w/ the song.
i think whatever song they choose has to have a dance break of some sort at the very least lol
and in general i’d just base their group off this post, i’d tag op but i always feel weird about tagging people i don’t know lmao
Band 4: Sex Appeal
ALSO I’M V INTO THIS GROUP OMG and the song……. yaaaassss.
if we were going by the girl group book i’d suggest that this group perform little mix’s move or touch. i’m biased towards move, it’s more funky and flirty instead of completely *sexual* and i like the idea of the ‘sexy’ girl group coming in and showing the boys how to stun a crowd with flawless vocals and dancing skills
(also he ain’t wit me now (tho) by richgirl has major bad bitch vibes i love)
black magic works if you want something a lil tamer lol. i’d just go w/ a girl group song bc it’s just easier to imagine line distribution lol
also i’d add awilix as well, she’s p goddamn sexy if i do say so myself and i think she’d be amazing on stage hehe
Band 5: Eclipse
ALSO LIKE YOU KNOW I’M ALWAYS A SLUT FOR CHANG’E AND HOU YI PAIRINGS….. and that song is cute?? love me a intimate ballad and i’d literally nut of the spot if hou yi w/ a sexci beard played the guitar in front of me…….
(also i’m stopped watching rwby after my main girl pyrrah died BUT tai is really fucking hot holy shit)
i can’t complain about the pairing this time lol but i will say that don’t give up by peter gabriel and kate bushwould basically make everyone cry and i love the message and how it fits w/ chang’e and hou yi’s undying dedication for each other :’))))
other band ideas
i’d love a the morrigan and dark hel duo, i’ve been listening to the veronicas again (untouched and cruel are still their best songs fight me) and they could go all t.A.T.u as well lmao. also i must not chase the boys by play totally fits their vibe omgggggg
i’ve touched on it before but a lady marmalade cover w/awilix as mya, terra as pink, kali as lil kim, aphrodite as christina aguilera and nox as missy elliott? legendary. i’m p sure that post was also before nike was in-game so i think nike might fit pink a lil better
i think the other bands have better identities tho, but this is just a fun collab i’d love to see
anyways give the sexy girl group little mix’s move already bc that’s like the thing i want the most lmao

KAGE is Konoha’s New Exciting Boy Group
08/29/2006
Kage have emerged as an unstoppable force in the Konoha pop scene, and now the group is already on their way to take over the world. Its two main tracks, “Beasts” and “I’m on My Way” landed on the number 1 and 2 spots on all major music charts on Konoha and abroad, while the rest of the tracks on the album “Jutsu” are on the top 20. The group’s four music videos on their YouTube channel have already amassed nearly 200 million views and counting.
The five members—Hyuuga Neji, Sai, Inuzuka Kiba, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto—all helped write and produce the songs on their album.
Kage is KG Entertainment’s first idol group. The label previously specialized in hip-hop and more experimental soloists and groups, so the decision of debuting a pop group was met with either eyebrow-raising incredulity or feverish anticipation.
“There was certainly a huge amount of pressure from both sides—from the ones who anticipate because we don’t want to let them down, and from the ones rooting for us to fail because we want to prove them wrong,” said leader Hyuuga Neji. “But we simply channeled the anxiety and frustration into working hard to make an excellent debut.”
Kage’s debut also came at the most opportune time. Konoha’s pop music is on the rise and is being recognized all across the great nations. “I think it’s pretty cool that our music is reaching other countries! Kinda makes you realize what they say about music’s power to connect everybody,” shared Uzumaki Naruto, the mood-maker and the youngest of the group.
With a world tour currently planned, Kage really would be able to connect more with their fans. The group is set to visit 6 countries and play 30 shows. 500,000 people are expected to attend. Now, that’s something to look forward to.

7 Facts You Didn’t Know About Uchiha Sasuke // PopFire
With the debut of KGE’s hot new boy group KAGE, you must be dying to learn more about the members! Let’s start off with the charismatic and dangerously sexy, Uchiha Sasuke. :*
Uchiha Itachi of the legendary 2nd generation group Akatsuki is his older brother. (Handsome bros <3)
He trained with Oto Entertainment for 2 years before transferring and debuting under KG.
The Sharingan Group is a conglomerate owned and founded by Uchiha Madara, Sasuke’s grandfather, making him an heir. (OMG!! Sounds like the beginning of a drama plot XD)
Sasuke’s family has also taken over the film industry through his cousins, Uchiha Obito, an up-and-coming film and music video director, and Uchiha Shisui, an actor known for his role in ‘Crows.’
He has said that if he wasn’t a singer, he would probably pursue a career in the arts. We may have an idea where this interest comes from. His mother, Uchiha Mikoto, is a renowned contemporary art curator and commissioner. (Probably a Mama’s boy ^^)
Despite his high-class background, according to interviews, his preferences are quite simple. His favorite food are tomatoes and fish flakes, and he loves camping.
He has also ventured in the underground rap scene in his teenage years under the name “Taka.” Among his colleagues are Sui, Juu5, and Karin who have appeared as contestants in popular rap competition “Show Me What You Got.”

KAGE Unveils Titles of First Two Singles of Comeback Album 04/04/2008
KAGE has finally unveiled the title of two tracks on their upcoming comeback album.

To kick off their highly-anticipated return, it has been revealed that the group will be releasing “Will of Fire” and “Endure” this coming July 1, as seen in the brand new teaser posters for KAGE’s ROOTS PROJECT released earlier today.
Also indicated in the teaser posters are the personnel in the production of the tracks. KG Entertainment veteran Hatake Kakashi produce both tracks as he always does for Kage, while all the boys would take turns to write and compose, and the main rappers, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto would pen their own verses. This time however, one of the writers of the second track “Endure” is none other than Kunoichi’s Haruno Sakura, alongside the group’s primary lyricist Uchiha Sasuke.
Kage leader Hyuuga Neji says of Sakura’s involvement in their album, “Sakura-san was kind enough to gift us a song, to which we are grateful. Its style is unlike anything we have done before and it gears towards a different but interesting direction for us as a group.” Neji adds, “We hope the fans who have supported us up until now will continue to let us show them Kage’s new colors.”
Meanwhile, Kage will be gearing up to start their world tour on October 10 at Konoha Memorial Stadium which would include the tracks from the new album in the setlist. They plan to visit 11 different countries, hold 50 performances, and meet 1.2 million fans.
[+2032, -159]  Finally!!!! ㅠㅠ July 1 can’t come fast enough!!!!!!
[+1869, -324] KAGE!!!! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I miss them. Can’t wait for the promotions.
[+1575, -197]  Sakura must be really close with the boys or at least one of them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Sasuke, maybe?
[+1187, -108]  Which devil do I gotta summon and sell my soul to so I can listen to Endure right now
[+447, -321]  Why does Sakura have to be involved? It’s a Kage album... Why not let the other members write instead?
‘Idols Weekly’ Kage Episode Highlights 08/05/2008
Hey, guys! KageYah here. The video for part 1 is already up but it hasn’t been subbed yet. For those of you who can’t wait, here are some highlights of the episode. (Spoiler alert?)
It’s Kage’s second time as guests and hosts Hashirama and Tobirama (mostly Hashi) pretend to be emotional because they say the boys have grown up so well and will probably be really chic and cold now after their international success.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the hosts said they prepared a red carpet only for Kage.
Finally, the boys enter one by one in the studio driving a toy car on the red carpet.
Kiba tumbled off the car towards the end.
Sasuke was blank-faced the whole time and everyone was laughing.
Hashirama tells the editor to pause a few times for Neji’s footage to give viewers a chance to screenshot him on the car while wind blows on his hair.
After introductions were made, Tobirama asked them what has changed with them in the past two years besides being recognized more. Neji said nothing much and that they are the same. “Yeah, we never learn!” Naruto interjected. Hashi beamed at this saying he was gonna make them talk shit.
Sai: “I was specifically instructed by our CEO to ‘stop talking shit.’ …  He didn’t like it when I said that he said he asks for malls to close so he can shop and that we have the same dermatologist among other things. He also didn’t like that I talk about peni—” The members had to cover his mouth for this, lol.
Hashi asked if they got themselves significant others in the past 2 years since they all claimed to be single last time. Neji said that it has gotten more difficult for them somehow because they’re so busy. “Speak for yourself!” Kiba said. He and Naruto were howling.
During a beat, Hashi asked Sasuke, “Sasuke-kun, how’s your grandfather?” Sasuke was all ‘what’??? [T/N: I don’t know either?? He asked this the last time, too.]
Naruto told Hashi to ask Sasuke if he has had a girlfriend. Sasuke replied no. Everyone in the room went crazy with this revelation. Sasuke said, “Nor have any of these guys. I don’t know why they’re celebrating.” [T/N: AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!]
Sasuke: “I take relationships very seriously, so I won’t start anything with anyone unless I feel something very deeply towards them.”
Tobi: “...Damn, suddenly we can’t make fun of him anymore.” Everyone laughed.
Hashi: “You’ll never get married, Sasuke!!!” Sasuke shrugged comically.
Then it’s time for Dancing at Random, where the boys have to dance to their own songs played on shuffle. Whoever is the least synced with the other members by the end will be hit by a toy hammer in the head. The songs played are: Will of Fire, Beasts, Believe It!, and Illusions.
[T/N: I have to say, Kage is at the point of their career where they really don’t give a shit anymore. In other words, they couldn’t remember most of their choreography.]
Despite not remembering their choreography, Kage is still very much synchronized with their idiocy. Except Naruto, the King of the idiot line. The rest of the members wordlessly conspired to betray Naruto so he had to take the hammer in the end.
“I CAN DO THIS!!!” Naruto said as he bowed his head for the hammer. He looked like he was close to tears. “IT HURTS!!!!!!!!”
Hashi and Tobi felt sorry for him and decided to give them a chance to dance to one more song. The plot twist was that it wasn’t a Kage song--it was ‘Bloom’ by Kunoichi.
Another plot twist: everyone nailed the choreography.
Hashi: “This is… really something, you guys.” Tobi: “Naruto, maybe you should ask to be transferred to Kunoichi instead.”
Naruto: “Maybe I should!! Those girls will never betray me!” Naruto said Sasuke would join him if he transfers to Kunoichi not because they’re friends but because… Naruto never got to finish what he was saying because the camera caught Sasuke glaring challengingly which made everyone laugh.
PREVIEW FOR PART 2: apple game, jumping rope??? Sai shows off painting skills??? Why is everyone yelling and bleating like goats???

SASUKE MAKES SOLO DEBUT WITH MV FOR BREATHING FIRE 2009-05-15
Uchiha Sasuke releases a brand new single to mark first solo project.
See Also: Dosu-3 drummer Abumi Zaku breaks both arms in an accident
Fresh from the success of his group’s Roots Project and rap subunit SN, with member Uzumaki Naruto, the Kage rapper who is known for the dexterity of his words and dry wit, ditches radio-ready pop for a more experimental raw rock-funk-hip-hop hybrid in his solo debut album “Revolution.”
“Breathing Fire” is about a man’s obsessive pursuit for power that it ends up burning him. The music video is a single take of the camera zooming out to show an empire slowly burning to dust, providing a stunning supplement to an already captivating track.
The release of this single also kicks off a series of shows that Sasuke will be doing around Fire Country and abroad. Tour dates to be announced soon so keep an eye out for them.
In addition to “Breathing Fire,” Sasuke is also set to release a music video tomorrow for “Heavenly Hand” which features a vocal line from Kunoichi member Haruno Sakura who is also busy preparing for her own full-length solo album tentatively set to be released later this year.
Until then, check out the MV for “Breathing Fire” below, and be sure to stick around for more updates on your favorite artists and idols.

9:40 pm - 10/13/2009 JUST A QUICK BLIND ITEMS POST!!!
Top girl group member and rookie actress A is getting some criticism on her acting, with some fans attributing the drama’s failure to her lackluster performance. In addition, viewers are criticizing the circumstances of her debut, noting that while her other members trained for 4 years on average, her training period did not even exceed one year, which led fans to speculate that she was only able to debut due to her connections in her company.
Super boy group member B is rumored to be dating Top girl group member C. Since both are from the same company, their activities have overlapped in addition to having collaborations, leading to developments between the two. Reservations on making this relationship public stem from company pressure, and from B being very high profile, and C, despite being well-loved, is divisive and draws a lot of ire from the public, which could only worsen should the relationship become public.
There’s been a lot of controversy surrounding large company CEO D for trying to recruit already-established stars from other companies, even going as far as extortion.

[INTERVIEW] 100923 KoKo Magazine: Sakura Throughout
We catch up with Haruno Sakura on her journey as an artist, and beyond.
Q: It’s very difficult to get an interview with you. We wanted to know more about you. Sakura: I like doing interviews but I don’t get that many opportunities to do them. Maybe it’s because my company thinks I thrive in easy-consumption type of media. (laughs)
Q: But you’ve been all around this year and prior. You released your first solo album, you’ve been featured in a few tracks by different artists, and you’ve gotten songwriting credit for a Kage track. What was that like? S: It was a mixture of tenacity and luck. Before debuting, I was insistent that I wanted to write or at least contribute to writing our own material, to the point where I think I annoyed our company. Our CEO said they would only agree if I made a song that they determined would be a hit. So I wrote and wrote every single day, two track ideas at least. Luckily, I got a few songs in and they allowed me. But then I’m left with a heap of material just waiting to be worked on, and counting! It was really just luck that I went to the KG Studios when Kage were throwing ideas around for their comeback. Naruto asked me—maybe as a joke, now that I think about it—if I had anything lying around, and I said I did. I’m just glad they liked it enough to work with it and took a risk even if it sounded different from what they did. That became a starting point where our company decided to take a chance and make me release my own album.
Q: Your album Love Throughout had really good reviews. What did you think about that? Were you expecting it? S: Not at all! I still couldn’t even believe that it exists sometimes, and that I was allowed to do it. I’m really thankful of the warm reception. It makes me want to work harder and better. I hope they’ll let me do it again.
Q: Your collaborations with Kage’s Uchiha Sasuke were also well-received. S: I was honored that Sasuke-kun asked me because ‘Heavenly Hand’ was a lovely song. He was nice enough to return the favor with ‘Silently, Strongly’ on my album. Next time, I’ll be the one to return the favor, and then this exchange will go on forever. Hopefully the fans won’t get tired. (laughs)
Q: What do you wish to do next? S: I would really like to try my hand at producing. I’m currently taking a few courses in music theory and production at KUA (Konoha University of the Arts) because I want to take this seriously. I’m not actually producing anything at the moment but I’ll be ready when it comes. (laughs) If it doesn’t, well, I’m having fun learning, at least.
Q: You seem to be a very disciplined person to manage studies in between activities. In what other ways are you strict towards yourself? S: In many aspects. As a public figure, I’m obligated to maintain an image so I watch my weight and take care of my hair and skin and all that. I’m most strict towards myself with making music. My pre-debut habit of making two song ideas before the day ends has carried on to this day. I have set high standards for myself. I’m pretty sure I have put off some people with how intense I am. (laughs) But I think of being here as a gift and that it’s my duty to work hard to show that I am grateful and worthy of it in return.
Q: Lastly, this question begs to be asked: any news on Kunoichi comeback? S: At the moment, we’re all very busy doing individual activities. I have promotional activities and school at the moment. Ino is working on her own solo album to be released next year which I’m looking forward to. Sprinting Sisters variety show has gotten even funnier since TenTen joined as a member. Hinata’s doing her drama. I still keep in touch with them, especially Ino, and they’re all really pleased with their accomplishments, as I am. We are all looking forward to come back as a group in the near future but in the meantime, we hope Kuchis will support us in our individual endeavors.

Tsunade Talks About Experience Working with Sakura Thursday, 2011 May 20
In a recent interview with local news outlet K-Daily, Tsunade discussed her thoughts and feelings about working with Haruno Sakura (Kunoichi) on her much awaited comeback album after a 5-year hiatus following the death of her husband, Kato Dan.

When asked, “Is there a reason you decided to work with Sakura of all the more experienced producers?” the legendary singer commented, “I only met her personally last year but her career has been one of the few that I’ve truly followed and anticipated. When we met, she mentioned that she’s trying to branch out into producing so I invited her to work on my album, and the rest, as they say, is history.”
Tsunade also adds, “She is very comfortable to work with, and it didn’t feel like she was a beginner at all. She has a clear vision of what she wants, and puts her heart into achieving it.”
Even before her comeback, Tsunade’s first single, “Rebirth” got a lot of attention for being written by Kage’s Uchiha Sasuke and composed by Sakura herself. Regarding this, Tsunade reveals she initially didn’t know about the song’s origin when it was brought to the studio.
“I had no idea it was Uchiha’s track and only found out about the fact while working with Sakura. I told her I wanted to have a song that commands and has a lot of energy, the kind that makes you think, ‘Oh! The baddest bitch is back.’ Then when we returned to the studio the next day, she looked like she pulled an all-nighter, but she had the perfect song for me,” Tsunade reveals.
Tsunade says she has yet to meet Sasuke in person, “We haven’t met but the recordings would go back and forth, and he would give notes through Sakura on the kind of feeling that would go with so and so part.”
With the success of ‘Rebirth,’ Tsunade hopes to collaborate again with Sakura and Sasuke in the future.

FULL INTERVIEW: SASUKE TALKS CREATIVE PROCESS, FEATURES, BEING COMPARED WITH ITACHI + MORE 2011-11-14
Kage member Uchiha Sasuke is this month’s cover artist for K-D magazine. The editor sat down during the photoshoot for an in-depth interview. Check out the translation below.
Q: You look pretty tired even though it’s still morning. Is the photoshoot too early for you? Sasuke: No, it’s fine. I’m just a bit jet-lagged is all.
Q: This photoshoot is highlighting a different side of you—a softer, more natural concept than the ones we normally see you in. Does looking like an idol make you feel uncomfortable? S: No—well, I am an idol. This is the path I have chosen so I should be able to get past any sort of discomfort I would feel on my own. Also, I was told fans seem to enjoy this kind of thing.
Q: Tsunade’s ‘Rebirth’ which was released this year got a lot of positive feedback. What did you think about it, as the one who wrote it? S: It did? That’s great. Tsunade’s distinctive voice has been something that I regarded highly as I was growing up. The song wouldn’t have worked as well had it been sung by anyone else, in my opinion. It’s an honor to have my song sung by her.
Q: You said, “It did?” as though you don’t pay attention to charts. S: I don’t. Not about stuff I did myself at least. Or rather, when I was told that Tsunade liked it, and when I heard the results and was satisfied with it, then that’s all that matters. Not that it’s surprising that it did well; this is Tsunade after all.
Q: That was a cool thing to say... S: Anyway.
Q: You’ve always written your own stuff, and now, aside from collaborations, you’ve started writing songs for other people. How do you know which songs to give away, which songs to use for Kage, and which ones for your solos? S: They aren’t premeditated decisions. When I work on a project, I work with the mindset that I have at that moment so the output would come organically. Although, when I work with Kage, the decisions would be informed by the opinions of the members and mass appeal. When I’m on my own, as I said, I’m less concerned about whether it would chart or not, and more about releasing content that currently speaks to me, or that I’m curious about. There would always be ideas and tracks that wouldn’t work so they’d be put in the back burner until an opportunity arises, which was the case with ‘Rebirth.’ And then there would be songs that would never see the light of day—the ones I keep for myself or for certain people.
Q: Like a significant other? S: Sure.
Q: The last two years have been very eventful for you especially as a solo artist. I heard that not only did you produce your album, but you also participated in its visual concept and direction. What prompted that decision and what was it like? S: It seemed like a natural course of things since I wanted the album to show facets of myself I haven’t shown before. Up until then, we’ve been making decisions as a group and we’ve always trusted Neji’s aesthetic sensibilities in terms of the direction of our visual concepts. It was just something I wanted to try on my own. In working solo, I wasn’t so much worried about looking cool as I was about showing visuals that would effectively complement the tracks. It was like problem solving so I thought it was enjoyable.
Q: Also in the last two years, you have been a featured artist in various tracks from a whole range of artists—there’s ‘Retrieve’ with Shino A; and then there’s ‘Silently, Strongly’ with Sakura with whom you also collaborated on Tsunade’s ‘Rebirth;’ and then if you consider your subunit with Naruto— S: I don’t.
Q: Oh, alright. And then you’re also set to feature on a track on Troublesome’s new album. My question is, is there a reason you do all these features? S: You say it as if I have done so many, but it’s not nearly as much as the featuring offers I’ve gotten. I’m rather selective on which tracks I feature in. I would always consider if I can really be of help to make the song better, if my current mindset matches the tone of the song, and also if I can offer and learn something different from this collaboration. It must be a give-and-take, in my understanding. Shino has an interesting turn of phrase in his lyrics; Troublesome has a unique eclectic sound; Tsunade, I’ve already mentioned; and Sakura is incredibly talented and I’d be a complete idiot if I said no to her. It’s burdensome to turn people down but I’d rather be thorough than half-ass these things.
Q: You’re very particular about where you lend your talents to that’s why it always yields good results. Now I understand why people consider you a top idol rapper. Who do you think is your current competition? S: Naruto told me that if I were to encounter a question like this, I should answer his name. So my answer is no comment.
Q: Are you at all competitive? S: With rapping, not anymore. There’s a prejudice against idol rappers that they’re somehow less legitimate than those in the underground scene, so they’re upheld to a different standard anyway. It’s futile to compete. Frankly, I’m not interested in it. As it is now, rapping is just a means to an end for me. I’m more concerned about making good music that reflects who I am, what I care about.
Q: Ever since you debuted, you have been compared with your brother Itachi of Akatsuki. What is your opinion on this? S: I knew it would be inevitable from the start even if I tried to distance myself and debuted in a different company. The admiration I feel for my brother even from before he debuted remains, so I’m not resentful at all. But I think our directions are different. Itachi has surpassed being a musician to being an icon. His influence extends to fashion, lifestyle, art, business, and such. I’m just trying to make good music. I’m flattered by the comparison but I would prefer to be viewed in a different light.
Q: Lastly, any hopes for the next 2-3 years? S: Be more courageous.

KG Entertainment CEO Danzo laughs off Sasuke and Sakura dating rumors. 2012-02-15
Photos recently surfaced on various social media sites of what appears to be Uchiha Sasuke (Kage) and Haruno Sakura (Kunoichi) in a grocery mart, in an attempt to spark up dating rumors.
Despite the fact that these dating rumors would usually fizzle out after a few days, KG was quick to dismiss them with an incredulous scoff. CEO Shimura Danzo himself spoke to various news outlets: “It’s utterly ridiculous. The reports are merely unfounded rumors.”
A representative from the company spoke of the photos, “Kage went to Wave Country last year for a world tour and Sakura was a guest performer at the time. They had a free day and decided to go out as a group, including PD’s and managers. ” They added, “Our company prides itself in having talents that treat each other as they would their families and friends. Rumors like this would only hurt that.”
[+876, -681] Can’t these people go out without having everyone all up in their business? Gosh, let them be.
[+765, -469] KG was quick to dismiss the rumors. A little too quick if you ask me… ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+519, -145] He seems to treat her like a younger sister. I doubt this is romantic. It’s probably weird for them to date within the company.
[+202, -347] Whatever, I still think they’d be cute together.
[+194, -431] Great! Now when is he gonna confirm NaruSasu ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[ARTICLE] What does KG mean to Sasuke?
“We’re a family… is what I’m supposed to say contractually. In reality, it’s just a workplace.”
SOURCE: KonohaAll via punnie
[+619, -13] I know Sasuke’s joking but it felt refreshing to me as a fan ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+534, -19] Even if he was joking, you know what they say, jokes are half-meant
[+268, -8] I wonder if Sasuke being petty like this has anything to do with Danzo not letting him and Sakura date by dismissing those rumors immediately ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[+153, -3] KGE used to be nurturing with their artists but it became all business once Danzo became CEO
[+42, -5] Hul… Then just leave the company if you think it’s such a chore ㅋㅋㅋ not like you need the money since you already have your trustfund
Are Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke dating? August 21, 2012
Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke are longtime friends and songwriting partners, but could their relationship be blooming into something more?
Fans are determined to prove it.
KG representatives have previously denied the existence of this relationship which seemed to quiet the rumors down for a while, but they were sparked anew after Haruno Sakura uploaded a photo on her Instagram. The photo is taken in a park and featured a blurry man’s pair of legs. Seems innocuous, right? It could be anyone!
However, a few minutes later, Uchiha Sasuke uploaded a photo that looks like it was taken on the same park. Fans kept noting the similar bench, light posts, and trashcan, and deduced that they must be together. Some more meticulous fans even went as far as zooming in on one of the trashcans to reveal what was supposedly the reflection of two people who are believed to be Sasuke and Sakura. Almost immediately, Sasuke removed the picture which only added more fuel to the fire.
Back in March, Uchiha Sasuke discussed being in the middle of relationship rumors in an episode of Video Star: “There are pros and cons to admitting. Because I’m a celebrity, being in a relationship with me would potentially do more harm than good. Although the public has a right to know whether or not I’m dating someone, I have no obligation to disclose anything.”
So it looks like we won’t be able to have any kind of confirmation (affirmative or negative) anytime soon.
“There’s nothing to confirm because there’s nothing going on. If that blurry blob of whatever really was them, then so what? They could be just hanging out. It’s not impossible for a man and a woman to just be friends/workmates,” reasoned one K-netizen.
On the other camp, fans are going wild.
“ok am i thE ONLY ONE WHO WANTS THIS TO BE TRUE?!?!?!! i’ve seen their stages and i think they’d be a cute couple!!!! #confirmthisrelationship #please,” another K-netizen exclaimed.
More evidence? Back in 2011, when Sakura collapsed after Kunoichi’s concert in Konoha Arena, Kage were in the middle of promotional activities in Earth Country, but the day after, Sasuke (and Naruto) were already back in Konoha. Some people even claim spotting Sasuke bringing a pillow to Konoha General Hospital where Sakura was confined. In addition, recently Sakura has been spotted visiting the Leaf Gallery where Uchiha Mikoto (Sasuke’s mother) is a director. The two seem to be very friendly based on the photos Mikoto posted on her Instagram page.
But for all we know, this could all be just a huge coincidence and that they really are just friends.
What do you guys think?

REVIEW: Sakura’s Courage braves into more adventurous sounds, more intimate songwriting angles 31-Mar-2013
Up to this point, the Konoha pop scene has often been disregarded for producing fluff pieces that would always shy away from hard-cutting themes. Sakura’s appropriately titled sophomore offering Courage is a bold example of stepping up to the challenge by baring her doubts and vulnerabilities, and finding comfort in the person underneath it all. With the sonically diverse musical styles experimenting with folk, electronica, R&B, and classical music, Courage’s sound echoes the complexity of the artist within Sakura.
When Sakura softly sings, “Women have to be strong in order to survive,” on the title track Courage, even with a distinctive, almost tremulously emotive voice, it was no soft declaration, and it sets the tone for the rest of the album.
Having debuted as one-fourth of Kunoichi, KG Entertainment’s first girl group fresh after the overwhelming international success of its flagship group Kage, she has been thoroughly judged by the public through a microscope since she was 19. In the years following their debut, she was often mocked for her appearance and presentation, and their group’s success was often questioned as only riding on the coattails of the boy group before them. Moreover, she is involved in an ongoing “dating scandal” with a member of said boy group.
This preface is a necessary evil because as we now arrive with Courage, we recognize that Sakura’s declaration is no small feat. Sakura addresses the frankly, oddly obsessive level of hatred directed at her in the tongue-in-cheek and drone-like, “And all I do is cry, and all I do is cry, and all I do is cry” hook of Useless repeated ad nauseam, sandwiched in between verses that are a litany of her supposed faults. In addition, the chill-inducing restraint as she sings in a silky voice, “Smile to ease out of a situation / Even if it’s fake,” in Fake Smiles gives the audience a glimpse of what’s underneath the glitter and glamour of the star: a human, working through the anger and hurt all the while having to appear pristine and perfect.
Maturity is certainly a theme in Courage, and in the time between this and Sakura’s debut solo album Love Throughout, she has undergone relationship rumors and scandals. The veracity of these rumors notwithstanding, heartache can be found in Courage, specifically with the songs 181 and Maybe Next Time, about distance and pining. Softly sung with Sakura’s gentle and emotive voice, like a secret—they’re infinitely intriguing.
With Courage, Sakura isn’t afraid to show moments of self-doubt, insecurity, and loneliness. An album like this proves the importance to have musicians explore deeply into themselves and express themselves in compelling ways, to show the humanity underneath all the glossy production, and gorgeous visuals.

Watch: Sakura talks pre-debut + shares songwriting and life advice with a lucky fan
On the June 25 webisode of “The Road of Life,” Haruno Sakura visited a fan who has a dream of becoming a singer-songwriter.
See also: Shino A.’s much buzzed-about collab with indie band Troublesome already in the works
The episode began showing the daily routine of Moegi Kazamatsuri, the fan. Sakura surprised her with a basket of goodies that she handpicked herself, moving Moegi to tears.
Once she had calmed down with Sakura’s words, the two quickly became comfortable with each other, with Moegi saying that she’s usually shy around new people but she felt immediately at ease with Sakura. Moegi began to explain the inferiority complex she feels and how hard it is to break into the industry. “It’s like no matter how much I try to raise myself up, there’s always going to be another wall that I need to overcome,” Moegi said. “At the moment, that wall is the feeling of never having anything good or important to say. People who want to get in the industry all have unique voices and stories to tell. But I don’t even know what I’m trying to be, let alone who I am.”
Hearing Moegi’s words, Sakura empathized because she said she has felt that way at some point, and that she still does every now and then. She began to talk about the rejections she had faced before she was finally signed as a trainee. “I can’t even count how many companies I have tried to audition for,” she laughed. “It was definitely a lot for a 12-year-old. I kept wondering if there was something wrong with me, if maybe people who make it innately have something, and that perhaps I’ll never have it—whatever it is.”
Sakura added, “But performing and writing was something that I have always enjoyed. My mom says I’ve been making up songs ever since I learned how to speak. Being able to express my thoughts is a good release for me. I’m sure you know that feeling.” Moegi agreed.
“As for them being good or important, those standards are too ambiguous and arbitrary. You can never please everybody, so you might as well just do what you think is you—your thoughts, your experiences. You are the only one in the world who is you, so that alone makes you and whatever you say important. I think if there’s at least one person out there who listens and finds something compelling in what I do, then that’s how I know I’ve chosen the right path,” Sakura said.
The conversation took on a lighter note when Moegi started to ask Sakura about her creative process and how she finds inspiration. “I do try to write from experiences, although not in a literal sense,” Sakura explained. “I wrote about “Tearfully pleading in the middle of the night/ Don’t go” in my previous album, but I have never really experienced that when I wrote it. It was more about my hopes at that time. Not that I hope to tearfully plead to someone! (laughs) I mean, I guess I hoped to feel that kind of all-encompassing love towards someone.
“So while Love Throughout was about my hopes, I tried to be as genuine as I can in Courage. The songs here really are my own experiences and thoughts. I tried to be personal and vulnerable in this album, and then tried to find strength in that vulnerability. I think that’s what I was going for,” Sakura added.
This revelation prompted Moegi to ask if the story behind Sakura’s hit ballad “Maybe Next Time” from her latest album really happened to her. “Were you really in mutual pining with someone?” To this, Sakura blushed, “I guess I dug my own grave here! (laughs) It was a situation where we weren’t in the position to pursue anything even if we both wanted to, not at the moment at least.”
As the night ended, Sakura posed for a photo with Moegi before walking her home. The two shared a big warm hug before saying goodbye.

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura Caught Up in Dating Rumors Once Again + Affiliates Respond
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura are caught up in dating rumors once again, and sources close to the two idols finally respond.
On an online community, one exchange student reported that Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura were spotted together in Snow Country. Haruno Sakura was there from February 9 to 12, while Uchiha Sasuke was seen on February 13. Some outlets reported seeing the two together in Kazahana, before returning to Konoha separately with a three-day gap between their flights.
On February 20, Haruno Sakura’s affiliates stated, “Haruno Sakura had promotional activities for the movie ‘The Strong 100’, where she is set to appear in. The schedule was tight and it would have been impossible to meet with Uchiha Sasuke. The two are not dating.”
Uchiha Sasuke’s camp also denied the rumors stating, “Mr. Uchiha went to Snow Country for a project, not to meet Ms. Haruno.”
This is not the first time that dating rumors about Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura have surfaced. However, while rumors in the past have been denied by their label KGE, this is the first time that sources from the two idols have outright denied it.

BREAKING: UCHIHA SASUKE AND HARUNO SAKURA TO GET MARRIED LATER THIS YEAR
March 30, 2014
The two debuted as members of groups Kage and Kunoichi under KG Entertainment and have since gone on to work as solo artists.
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura are to be married on November 5 later this year according to the statement released by their agency.
Below is the full translated statement:
“Greetings! This is KG Entertainment. We would like to extend our gratitude to the fans who have shown a lot of love for our own Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura. Moreover, we would like to ask for everyone’s understanding as we announce the news of their engagement. They will be having a wedding on the 5th of November this year and it will be a private affair between two families and some of the couple’s closest friends. The best gift we can offer the new couple in their upcoming union is to respect their wishes. As always, thank you for your understanding.”
The engagement has been a huge trending topic since it was announced yesterday. The two have since left messages on their respective fan pages.
Sakura writes: “I have known Sasuke-kun since we were young and even as trainees, I’ve carried such deep respect and admiration for him. It was a huge honor to grow alongside him, not only as a colleague but also as a friend after all these years, and it makes me look forward to spending the future together with him. As nervous as I am at the moment, I still hope your support and love for me up until now will extend to my soon-to-be husband—I still can’t get over the thrill of saying this—as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Sasuke writes: “The last five years have been the most tumultuous of my life, but Sakura has been there to ground me, as she always has. I have been wanting to speak about our relationship earlier but out of courtesy to Sakura and her family, I had to proceed with caution. It’s not just about me anymore, and there’s no one else I’d want to continue this journey with other than Sakura. With this news being made public, I trust everyone’s understanding and support, if not for me then for my future wife. Thank you.”
Twitter went wild with the news, making #SasuSakuCouple trend worldwide with happy reactions about the engagement.

Secret match up!
“Hello! I really admire your blog so I wanted to try out for a matchup, but if you could do me a favor could you make this anonymous? Thank you!
So um I’m about 5’8 in height and I’m female to male, so I identify as a boy so it’s fine if you don’t want to do a matchup then! ^.^ Well I’m not super smart but keep good enough grades though I like to draw and dance, so I focus more time on that stuff. I really like animals and volunteer at a shelter for ferrets since I adore the little furry creatures. I don’t really have any friends so it’s pretty much just me and my pets, so I spend more of my time just kind of being outside and staring randomly. Most people tell me I look dead in some sort of way because I have giant bags under my eyes and pale skin. Uh I’m super shy and don’t talk a lot though many people are aware of how gullible I am and how easily embarrassed I get so people tend to use it against me. In a romantic sense I pretty much do anything my significant other wants I can’t help it, I’ll be fine if they cheat on me or use me as long as they are happy. So I think I’m pretty flexible in being a good boyfriend I hope? If you can’t get to this it’s fine, sorry if this is bothering you”
Admin Abi:
OK! First of all!
I want to make this clear: I WOULDN’T DARE TO DECLINE MAKING A MATCH UP BECAUSE OF RELIGION, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RACE, CULTURE, NATIONALITY, SEX, ETC!!! We are here to have fun and to have a good time as possible! I want to appologize if I’m getting a little more personal in this match, but listen to me please: DON’T LET OTHERS TREATING YOU IN ANY DISRESPECTFUL WAY!! YOU ARE A PERSON AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE LOVE AND RESPECT THAT THIS MEANS!!
With this said let’s continue and I hope you’ll forgive me if I sounded rude or intrusive in any way…I just felt the necessity to say it…
*finishing your match up*
Tumblr media
Your romantic match is…
Tumblr media
Azusa!
This cinnamon roll is perfect for you! Since the moment you two met there was this attraction that made you both making an efford to get to know each other. Just like you, Azusa is very insecure and, in a way, a shy guy. At first, it was kind of akward starting a conversation, but slowly you started to open until you both fell in love. He didn’t care about your “dead appearance” or the fact that you identified as a guy. Who cares? You were adorable to him no matter those stupid things. He’s liven quite a long time to care about the physical aspects. He likes everything about you: he likes how you are constantly surrounded by animals and how much you care for them! He also gets hyponitized whenever he watches you dancing and he always cheers you whenever you start drawing. You both like to stay at home and being with each others company. If you ask to Azusa to help you out with your volunteer work, he’ll agree right away (plus points if there’s a doggy that bites or scratches him). He will protect you from all those terrible people that use your qualities against you! You sometimes “discuss” when it comes to make plans: you both want to do what the other wants. So it’s one date you plan it, one date he plans it. He thinks you’re a wonderful person and wants you to feel love everyday! You do the same thing for him and you also enjoy the company of his brothers (since it’s a very warm atmosphere!) If you have troubles with school, he will try to help you or he will go to Ruki and try convincing him to help you if he can’t. You are the sweetest couple ever and you help and support each other that everyone can’t help to ship you both!! :3
Stay away from…
Tumblr media
Laito.
CLEARLY FROM YOUR MATCH UP YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN AT ALL COST!!! He’s exaclty the type of people that enjoys breaking people. He will take your word of “using you until he gets bored of you”. He won’t care if your feelings get hurt in the process, since he’s been doing this for so long…that he feels no  remorse at all. He will think you are boring since you are wa too submisive for his taste (argh!! D:<). He will make some rude comments about your appearance that it will make you feel miserable…
Admin Abi: LAITO GET AWAY FROM THIS PRECIOUS CHILD!!! FIGHT ME!!! ARGH!!! D:<
Tumblr media
…………
OK~I’m calm now!
I think that you and Azusa are the cutest and that you would be extremely happy next to him!! YOU’RE MY NEW OTP!! YAAAASSSS
Hope you like it!! AND I’M SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY!!

PittCon Saturday
(holy shit y’all this was so much to remember from this morning until now. sorry if I forgot anything) Also this is obnoxiously long so this one gets a cut. #You’reWelcome
Read Friday’s here.
Part One: 
No Rob Benedict. Rich makes promises of him later.
ROB BENEDICT!!! He walked out with Briana and she claims she planned the whole thing.
Briana, Kim, and Gil didn’t have anyone lined up for questions. Briana threatened period talk. Gil blushed. 
Questions for Briana today instead of Kim. Briana does a little victory thing every time someone says, “My question is for Bri.” Kim mocks her from yesterday and says, “I’m gonna answer it anyway.”
Gil is third-wheelin’ it, hard. 
Gil addresses the whole thing that happened with the butt grabbing. He wanted to “nip it in the bud because it was weighing very heavily” on him. Apparently I missed that last night because I had no idea what he was even talking about when he said it. He’s a great guy. Try not to fault him for one little slip, yeah? He’s human. Cut the man some slack. 
Part Two: 
Rob scolds Rich for not telling us about the “I <3 KoC” shirts. Debates about whether it’s pronounced like Coke or like cock. “Wear that to Grandma’s house.” “One of those things will kill you!” 
Matt, Rob, and Rich bounce off of one another unbelievably well. 
Pssst, Matt Cohen is fucking attracccttiivveeeee
Questions about other projects and hobbies come up. Matt says he wants to get into racing again. Racing is in his future. Richard says he’s a lot like his father. His father was a lawyer. Rob used to have his own baseball league. With himself. He made up teams like “The Colors” and “Other Things.”
Rob and Rich are besties and it makes my life. 
The pilot for Skyward is streaming now on Amazon. Rich said there’s a part already sketched out for Rob if the show continues. It wasn’t his idea to include Rob, but he wanted to eventually anyway. 
Part Three:
Mark Sheppard is either consistently grouchy or was very tired/cranky today.
Almost all of his answers boiled down to one word, so that was the one word he used, and then moved on. He probably answered more questions on his own than Misha and Jake did combines just because of how fast he was moving. 
He said fuck Creation’s rules and walked around the crowd most of the time. Also joked about how when he was more powerful (and important), they never would’ve allowed that. (sad face on my part)
A fan asks how he feels about Fergus’s deal and how he lost his soul, what he sold it for. He doesn’t laugh. Just says, “If you want to ask about my penis, there are other ways to do it. I can’t relate to Fergus, if that’s what you’re asking.”
His favorite line is “Where’s your moose?” 
“You’re good, but I’m Crowley,” was improv. 
Talking about his wife and daughter made him light up like a Christmas tree. It was adorable. 
Everyone thinks he hates cats. He got very snarky about it. “Did I say I hate cats? No. I don’t hate anything. I hate Misha. Oops.”
He thinks Crowley came full circle. There wasn’t much else for him to do in the series, he thinks. 
He doesn’t understand the logic behind Rowena being Crowley’s mother.When Rowena dies at the hands of Lucifer (the first time), Mark said the line, “Always thought I’d be the one to do it,” felt very right in that moment.
Part Four: 
Jake Abel has the bubbliest butt in the entire cast. To quote myself from earlier today, “You could bounce a fuckin nickel off of that thing.”
He’s been creating plotlines and ways to bring Adam back. New plans are made every time he comes to a convention. Currently, we’re looking at an Adam spinoff in which he and his mother are resurrected (him from Hell, her from Heaven) and become hunters. They have “opposing forces!” as Jake said, and the story would follow the way they got the opposing forces to work together for the same common purpose.
This man is insane. 
He kept reminding us that he was in a weird mood because his flight didn’t get in until 4am.
Sleepy Jake is the cutest. 
Talk of Percy Jackson. 
Lots of talk about bringing Adam back. 
Part Five: 
MISHA. FREAKIN. COLLINS.
Guys. I’ve never been more amazed by one person’s smile and overall attitude. He’s so cheery and bright and uugghhh Misha.
He tells a story about his dad, and then says that he had to tell his children about his parents’ (brief, I think?) split, but he doesn’t want it to sound like that’s the only way marriages can end. The next day, his son went to school and told the teacher, “I want my parents to get a divorce.” I literally have no idea if this is true, but it’s what Misha told us.
Fake spoilers for Season 13, but he told us that he was filming it last night. Jared and Jensen still fuck with him to no end. 
“We were filming. Jared was on the bed, and we were doing something we don’t usually do on Supernatural.” *cue roars from the audience*
I think he tried to fight someone in the crowd. I have photos of his bulgy eyes and sassy jawline. Yeah, it’s a thing. 
MY PHOTO OP WITH HIM !!!!!!!!!
I was going to show him the photo of himself standing in front of the whiteboard with his drawing of Maison and the dandelion. Creation doesn’t allow phones in the photo op rooms so I had to put it in my pocket, which was fine.
I walked up and asked the woman if I could show him something. She said, “Sure, just make it quick!” Again, I get it. Not a problem. 
I’m standing there waiting with my arm pulled out of my sleeve to show him my tattoo. I walk up and I’m greeted with the most amazing smile and such a soft “hi.” 
I blurt out, “I NEED TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING!” *shoves my arm towards him* *silence from Misha as he stares*
His mouth kind of popped open when he realized what it was. His eyes are so freakin’ blue and I know because he looked me directly in them and told me, “That’s amazing.” 
My heart is racing, but I lean and and we hug and Chris snaps the photo. I step to walk away and Misha grabs my hands (!!!!!!!!!) I turn and look up at him (because damn he’s tall! He’s right, he’s just surrounded by giants.) and he squeezes my hands. “That’s amazing.” It’s so quiet and I blink for a second. “Thank you.” I get another tight hand squeeze and thank him before running into the hallway and crying. (*inhale* I’m okay, really.)
HUGE HUGE HUGE FUCKIN’ THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED MONEY TO GET ME THAT OP. I LOVE YOU ALL AND IF/WHEN I MEET YOU GUYS, HUGS ALL AROUND.
On to the auto. I showed him the tattoo again, quickly spat out, ”I know I showed it to you at the photo ops but...!”  and he drew a heart next to his name when he signed it. I got another “That’s amazing. Thank you so much.” and that friggin smile
I still don’t know if he knows the tattoo is his handwriting. I assume he could tell when he looked at it, especially for how long he looked at it. But *shrugs* maybe one day I’ll tell him.
While waiting for Misha’s op, I MET @HIGHONPASTRIES (whose tumblr is literally not working this weekend, just FYI)!!! There’s a selfie to prove it. Will be posted later.
Part Six: 
SNS
Jake introduces the band. First starts by demanding that we chant, “Bring Adam back,” over and over again. Chant quickly turns into, “Lou-den Swain.”
I didn’t know I needed a fuckin’ KAZOO. *cough cough* @torn-and-frayed @nichelle-my-belle-spn-con-blog (still waiting for the kazoo tip to make an appearance)
Rob Benedict sang half a song without a microphone. Don’t know why. It just wasn’t working. 
MATT COHEN WINKED AS HE RAN PAST ME Y’ALL. Camera was too slow to capture it but if anyone has that wink, good God send it this way, please.
Sam Smith popped out! Just to introduce Kim though - no singing. 
Kim Rhodes was so nervous and I just want to hug her and tell her she’s amazing. 
Briana was wearing LEATHER BOOTS UP TO HER HIPS. #YAAAASSSS
Gil McKinney. That fuckin’ man. Making me cry and shit, two days in a row. 
Drunk Matt Cohen is a thing of my dreams. 
Lots of guest appearances within the band. Chris on bass, Rich on bass, Adam from Creation on keys, Rich on guitar and the mic. Nobody takes Billy’s guitar from him though ;) 
Whipping Post sans Jensen. Still fuckin’ awesome. 
Fare Thee Well!!!! Rob prefaced it with a spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen the episode yet. *giggle*
Rob cried singing She Waits. Then said he loves us so much it’s unreal. This man is pure and good and needs to be protected at all costs. 
They played my faaave song. It’s called Amazing. 
Kazoo song. Also known as Medicated. Someone had an amplifier for their kazoo. Rob was very impressed. Cast members are getting better at the kazoo solo. Rob isn’t happy about it. “This isn’t as fun when you guys are gooood.” 
Questions? Comments? Anything? If you’re at the con, come find me and say hi! I’ll be in (or around) seat D25! :) 
TOMORROW I MEET JARED AND JENSEN Y’ALL THIS IS ITTTTT. *quietly crying bc tomorrow is the end*
*falls into bed and immediately starts snoring* P.S. Cons are exhausting in the best possible way.

May lose half my followers for this, but I gotta say something.
You can ship whoever you want.  You wanna ship canon couples? Go for it! You wanna ship non-canon couples? Go for it! You wanna ship Donnie with a carton of milk or Draco Malfoy with a green apple? Go for it!  What bothers me is when people insist, like flat out state, that a character has a sexuality contrary to what is canon. This may sound homophobic until I put it in context, so bear with me until the context is there.  It bothers me when people insist that characters who are straight in canon are gay.  They can still ship non-canon gay ships. They can be like, “I totally ship it!” and “I wrote this fanfic about them!” and “I did a little AU fanart of these two.” But it bothers be when they insist straight characters are gay flat out because one, it’s a slap in the face to the writer, two, it’s a double standard, and three, it sadly happens in real life. Let me explain each reason. 1. Mostly restating what I just said, but you can totally ship a non-canon couple... whoever you want! It’s different when you insist that something that isn’t canon is canon. Maybe I’m guilty of this, too. Maybe I should cool it with all the “And then they get married and have babies!” talk about my OTP (though I did promise Reddy that once Apritello is truly canon in the show I will reblog the first bit of evidence and say that, but maybe otherwise I should cool it).  Headcanons are fun, but remember there is a difference between headcanon and canon. The writers will write their story the way they want. It is their story, not ours. Let’s respect their art, as we would expect them to respect our fanart. 2. There is a major double standard here.  Fans say that straight characters are gay and all the other fans cheer. If people said gay characters were straight, everyone would type in all caps how homophobic that was and, “Why can’t you just accept them the way they are???” Well, why can’t people accept straight characters for how they are? Again, you can still ship a non-canon gay couple, but you can’t insist that those characters are truly gay anymore than someone can insist that Ruby and Sapphire from Steven Universe are actually straight. It’s just not true, and it’s not fair. 3. I guess it also bugs me because this double standard exists in real life.  I think we can agree that telling LGBT people that they are straight and to stop kidding themselves is a pretty useless and rude thing to do. Even when you believe they weren’t born that way, you can’t deny they’re LGBT at the moment. It’s ignoring reality and it won’t change their orientation. I’ve heard a lot of testimonies from people who were LGBT and became straight, and it had nothing to do with people telling them they needed to be straight and everything to do with an actual heart transformation. I have, however, heard of people who pretended to be straight because people told them to be straight, and they got married, and had kids, and later broke their spouse’s heart and abandoned their children because they couldn’t keep going like that. That’s the damage this sort of thing can do. I’ve also met and seen multiple straight people who were constantly told to stop kidding themselves because people thought they were gay.  “Stop kidding yourself.” “You talk like a gay guy.” “You have short hair like a lesbian.” “You’re a guy who loves theatre and Disney. Of course you’re gay!” “You’re an athletic girl who’s touchy feely with her female friends! Of course you’re a lesbian!” I’ve met people who eventually did start to think, “Maybe I should be gay like everyone says...” The double standard is, this is totally encouraged! People laugh about it! “Hahaha come on dude, you’re so totally gay! Just admit it! ‘Hello I’m queer and now I’m here!’” If you can see how messed up it is to insist a gay person is straight, how can you not see how messed up it is to insist a straight person is gay? And maybe my real life experiences of seeing other people go through that are why I get so worked up about it happening in fiction. People say things like, “Raph and Casey are gay,” and everyone is like “YAAAASSSS!!!” but if they said “Ruby and Sapphire are straight,” everyone would be like, “HOMOPHOBES!!!” I want to conclude by reiterating that you can ship whatever straight or LGBT couple (canon or non-canon) you want (that’s what fanfics, daydreams, and AUs are for!), but it’s an insult to the writers to flat-out insist their characters aren’t what they made them, and this double standard goes largely unaddressed.   I am well prepared to lose many followers, and I won’t be looking at my activity feed for a while. I normally look at every note, but I know people are going to start shouting (or all-capsing) abuse at me and I don’t want to deal with that any more than the next person. I’ll be closing my ask box, too.
