A/N: Most of these recommendations contain mature/explicit content, so please be sure to read the warnings beforehand!
PART 2 | PART 3
Impulse (1k)
And when he brings you close for another kiss, he feels it too. How he’s putty with you, how he’s all yours to touch, to mold, to have, to break apart and be put back together over and over. Donghyuck pulls apart, rests his head against yours, and suddenly, without much thought, says three words.
Untitled #1 (1k)
He just feels like a pervert from how inviting he finds the space between your thighs, the one place he could spend hours happily distracted by.
Untitled #2 (1k)
His sun kissed skin and playful expression is completely unobscured as he lowers his head. You weave your fingers through the grass and grip the soft blades, leaning back against your hands as he hikes up your sundress.
[4:35PM] (2k)
His face scrunches up when the soft hairs of the brush tickle the skin of his nose, making your heart swell. His eyes are the only things more sparkly than the glitter that warms his complexion, as they stare up at you.
Make it Fit  (3k)
“Guess I’ll have to show you then.” He grins, lowering the laptop screen and removing the device off your lap, setting it beside you. He leans closer to you, until your nose is brushing against his and you swear, the look in his eyes, you could’ve taken him right there.
Make it Fit Again (4k) ft. 00′s line
Pearlescent (5k)
You have no idea where you’re headed, but if there’s anything you’ve learned by dating Donghyuck, it’s that, yes, his plans are usually spontaneous and hectic, but they’re always exciting and worthwhile.
Brother’s Best Friend (5k)
Once out into the hallway Donghyuck looked both ways, checking to see if it was clear before pushing you against the wall. “Thought I’d never get you alone.”
Unavoidable (5k)
So yeah, maybe you just emotionally closed yourself off. you still weren’t going to go out of your way to interact with donghyuck. unfortunately, your professor decided the two of you would be perfect partners for a short film project so you had no choice.
College AU (9k)
And they were roommates… you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation when your roommate asks for help. that’s how Haechan ends up living under one roof with you and it’s clear that sooner or later, something has to happen between the two of you"
Oh Mr. Lee, Will You Teach Me How to French Kiss? (10k)
“You only have one solution. Get yourself a boyfriend that’s willing to try that, or else you’re stuck with your fingers and unfortunately, me.”
Started with a Kiss (10k) 
There’s no way that your best friend, the cutely annoying and annoying cute, Lee Haechan--the one who’s been practically glued to your skin like a conjoined twin of yours for the last two years--is asking you to make love to him.
And They Were Roommates (10k)
“You let me stay here until they fix my place...and once I move back, I won’t make a single peep after one o’clock.”
Playdate (10k) ft. 00′s line
“I know we said ‘open relationship,” and we wrote down no neighbors, no work colleagues, and no family members. But I guess you forgot what I said about my friends.”
Six Feet Apart (13k in total--series)
The both of you used to snuggle up on that couch in this very living room a little more than a year ago and hate to be so far away from one another. Looking down at the gap between you two now, your bittersweet recollection comes to an abrupt end. 
Baby Face (14k)
Fucking Lee Donghyuck, you think to yourself as you head up to your bedroom. When are the girls in your sorority going to learn he’s the worst of the worst?
Smile for the Camera (19k) ft. Jisung
Jisung knows that there’s a plethora and a half reasons why this is a terrible idea. For one, it’s an invasion of privacy. The thumbnail is explicit, leaving zero room for ignorance—the bare, nearly naked sight of you and Haechan blankets over the screen, and if that isn’t enough to tell him that this isn’t something he was supposed to see, then the rather intimate position you and your boyfriend are in is quite the message.
Love Bites (28k)
“This isn’t what it looks like.”
“Oh, so you’re not a vampire drinking blood from your girlfriend’s neck?”
He gapes, eyes growing wide, before, “Okay, then it is what it looks like.”
Take Me to Outer Space (29k)
He personally loved to get under your skin, you know he did. But somewhere down the line, you started to actually enjoy his little remarks.
Pussy Fiend (68k in total--two parts)
You’re staring at Haechan, unmoving as you contemplate escalating to physical violence, and it hits you again, as he lies on his back on his bed and his eyes have this almost burning intensity to them as he watches you intently, that Lee Donghyuck is fine as fuck.

Idk if you like looking at the mv process gifs ahead of time, but as The Kazui blog I follow I was wondering your thoughts on the new gif of him 👀
I always look at the process gifs ^3^ i usually avoid looking at the shortened mv (or try to) beforehand but this time i will be since i need to be as prepared as possible for the day of reckoning, but i probs wont post about it. ANYWAY. Obvs spoilers below cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SAME OUTFITS ^^^^^^^^^^ wedding fit so cool
Kazui looks basically the same as he normally does which is interesting, I'm guessing their marriage was more recent then i originally assumed? Either that or he's looked 39 since he was in his 20s,, hot anyway he looks pretty happy n cute :> i wonder at which point in his life he started faking everything. Was he genuine here and started faking later on? Or did he get married because he was 'supposed to'? I keep thinking of the Half line "What i gave up a long time ago, why is it questioning me now?", but tbh that could point to either ideas being true
If he's in his wedding fit in the thumbnail with the dove, and he's meant to be like a cat, and doves represent love (among other things), I assume he sees himself as the one who killed the genuine love in their relationship, as well as the one who killed Hinako (not literally killed but. the reason for her death). Hinako looks rlly pretty here RIP
Tumblr media
HE'S SO ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ LOVE HIM. He's so sad ♡ but also kinda fucked up looking... how every man should be i think. He's in his depression fit from Half, but he's not in the theatres. Atleast I'd assume not since he's smoking, ig he probably doesn't have to follow standard theatre rules when its all in his mind... but I'm assuming not!! The only other time we see him wear this in Half outside his little headspace is on the blurry screen at the end where he's arguing with Hinako, so I'm guessing we'll get to see more of his relationship decline and break down, instead of the dull already rocky relationship we get in Half.
Tumblr media
We never see him drink at home so this is probably at the bar 👍 I'm guessing its when Hinako meets him at the bar and confronts him since I can't think of any other scene that we've seen so far that'd make him dramatically drop his glass like this, but maybe it's something else. Maybe he's dropped it while thinking about how shitty his life is. Maybe bar girl dropped it. Idk! It's pretty full so i doubt he's just like super drunk or something
Tumblr media
eye
Not much to say. Assuming it's Kazui, we already know he's depressed and stressed as hell so it doesn't give us much. Eye

Voiceplay Visuals: Frozen 2 Medley
I really love Frozen 2 (i like it more than the original actually), the animation is great, and the soundtrack is 10/10 awesome, and Voiceplay's medley video for it is just as good! This video features Adriana Arellano, not just in her first appearance in a Voiceplay video, but her first video performance ever? And she was only 15 when this was released?? Man
This video was actually a Christmas Day upload for Voiceplay (for my timezone anyway) back in 2019, and it's a rare case of having 6 vocalists in a video instead of the average 5 (but it you're gonna do a Frozen Medley, you're almost definitely gonna need a female singer). But anyway, let's get into this!
Tumblr media
So obviously Adriana is taking dual roles of both Anna and Elsa (in white pants and a cute periwinkle(?) top), Eli is "Disneybounding" as Olaf, Layne is being just a little bit Extra with his Sven outfit, and Earl, J, and Geoff are sharing the role of Kristoff (also Geoff in a scarf again, which he also wears in Baby Its Cold Outside, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, and his cover of White Christmas (different scarves though))
Also neat background! I'm guessing this was filmed at Pattycake Productions, but the description doesn't say
Tumblr media
"Yes the wind blows a little bit colder, and we're all getting older!" "hey!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Geoff (and Layne): "Okay Rude"
(Layne would've turned 39 in December that year, with Geoff having turned 39 a few months beforehand in August)
Geoff's hair by this point has reached the length/style that it's by and large stayed in since (though Wicked Game has me questioning if it's grown and subtly changed a little bit again)
Tumblr media
Geoff: "Maybe you should leave all the romantic stuff to meeeeeee"
Adriana: "Oh brother"
Tumblr media
"Some things stay the same, like how reindeer are easier!"
Tumblr media
(cool necklace by the way, J!)
Tumblr media
"what was that?"
Tumblr media
"da da dum"
(Also there's a video on Youtube featuring vocal ranges of different bass singers or something like that, featuring Avi Kaplan and Tim Foust and others I believe as well as Geoff, and the thumbnail has got pictures of them all from like performances and stuff, but for Geoff they used pretty much this picture 😂 Like damn why you gotta do him like that 🤣)
Tumblr media
At first I was only pausing to see what Geoff was doing with his hands (air bass again? or some other air-instrument?) but uhh there's a lot going on in this picture 😂
Layne back at it again with the carrots! (Seriously him chopping and peeling carrots and using it as actual percussion/foley is honestly iconic and will never not be the funniest thing to me)
Tumblr media
Making this post and looking for screencaps has really elevated the hilarity of this video for me honestly XD
Geoff has some lovely smiles in this video 💜 (I feel like I'm taking a lot of screencaps for this video already though, so you can go (re)watch the video yourself if you wanna see what I mean)
Tumblr media
"Being watched by something with a creepy, creepy face!'
Tumblr media
^ The "creepy creepy face" 😂
Tumblr media
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pfft 😝
Tumblr media
Oh my god I literally only just noticed the carrot necklace!!! Layne I love you
Tumblr media
Pretty Boy time!
(Don't just get yourself a man who can do both, get yourself a man who can do EVERYTHING)
Tumblr media
THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING
Tumblr media
I just realized Layne is doing air-drums and using carrots as drumsticks? (He does the same thing in the Butter video)
(Also love the lighting changes, both in light levels and colour! Shoutout to Eli!)
Tumblr media
Adriana doing the phone-light thing is iconic and kind of hilarious honestly
Tumblr media
<3
Also just noticed Adriana's cool chain-bracelet-ring accessory on her left hand! (Won't post a pic of it though because I'm worried about hitting the maximum image limit)
And that's all I have to say for this video! Man, what a freaking awesome medley. Really well done on all levels, and the enjoyment that Adriana and the guys had in making this is absolutely palpable (Also Geoff was very pretty in this video okay)

An Autumn Walk
Hello there! I was encouraged to share some Daryl Dixon fanfiction that I write, so I’m going to start out relatively easy with something cute I wrote last year. There are no warnings. Please be kind, and thanks for reading!
Scene Set: The Walking Dead
Daryl x Female Reader
Pronouns: She/Her
An Autumn Walk
Y/N & Daryl spend the day with an inquisitive Judith.
Crisp air. The crunching of fallen leaves underfoot. Apples, pumpkins. It was Autumn again, and ever since Daryl and Y/N moved out of Hilltop into their cabin, they’d missed out on the Fall festivities in the communities. Judith was heartbroken that her uncle and aunt didn’t come for two years in a row. This year, she’d gone to their cabin to make sure to get some time with them beforehand.
Judith squinted up at her uncle, “Why do the leaves fall off the trees?”
Daryl looked down at the six-year-old, “ta give the trees a rest ‘til Spring when they grow new ones.”
She pondered this for a little while. Daryl and Y/N held hands as the three continued their trek into the woods. Judith scooped up a handful of acorn nuts.
“Why do the acorns have little hats?”
Daryl glanced at Y/N, “wanna take this one?”
Y/N laughed, “maybe to keep their ears warm?”
Judith laughed too, “I don’t think so. Acorns definitely do not have ears.”
“Well, what do you think?” Y/N asked curiously.
“I just don’t know.”
“That little cap is on there so that when the nut is heavy enough it falls to the ground where it can grow into a mighty oak.”
“Or stole by a squirrel,” Daryl added. He took a couple of the acorns from her and placed them in his jacket pocket. Dog ran ahead chasing a pheasant. A long black and white feather dropped off the bird when it took flight. Daryl picked it up and tucked it into Judith’s ponytail.
“There. Looks pretty, Jude.”
She touched it consciously and smiled, “I have another question.”
“Shoot,” Daryl said lightly tugging her ear. She shooed his hand away.
“Why don’t you two come any more for the Fall festival?”
Daryl and Y/N exchanged looks.
“Got a lot ta do,” Daryl said, “we got cannin’ ta do, and meat ta get. We gotta get them animals ready for Winter. Takes a long time.”
“Oh,” Judith pouted, “Too busy for me.”
They stopped their hike and Daryl knelt to look into Judith’s eyes, “ain’t always like that. ‘S why we were doin’ these walks with ya. Special time just you n’ us.”
“Besides, later we’ll be carving pumpkins and roasting the seeds,” Y/N said, “and we’ll make some apple faces.”
“You n’ Aunt Y/N are gonna make some candles too.” Daryl smiled kindly at the girl, “and you ‘n me will pop some corn after supper.”
She smiled wide. Popcorn was a rare treat since corn was used for cornmeal and fuel and eaten on the cob back in Alexandria.
On the way back, Judith found a toad, picked it up, and asked, “why are toads so bumpy?”
“’S easy,” Daryl replied, “ta blend in with the rocks so no one eats ‘em.”
Judith sent it down by the roots of a tree. She played with her braided ponytail and said, “one more question.”
“Sure,” Daryl said as they approached the front gate to the cabin.
“When are you and Aunt Y/N going to have a baby? I want a cousin.”
Daryl coughed, totally caught off guard. Y/N cleared her throat, her face bright red. The two exchanged looks, “Wanna take this one?” He asked for the second time during their walk. He didn’t realize it was going to be an inquisition.
“Judith, that may or may not happen. I guess you just have to wait and see.” She looked up at Daryl who was nervously chewing on the edge of his thumbnail.
“I hope I don’t have to wait too long,” Judith opened the gate and skipped inside with Dog. Daryl glanced at Y/N who shrugged.
“Kids,” she said as if that was the answer to everything. They both chuckled and went inside the fence.
“Let’s pick out some pumpkins, what do you say?” Y/N called out to Judith.

April Prompts #16 Cherry Pie
Another lil entry for the April Prompts challenge Rosie's Diner was their place. It had been since that day, right back at the start, that Thursday night when Billy had cornered Steve outside the Arcade and told him he wanted to apologise and Steve had decided to make him work for it, made him get back in his car and follow Steve all the way to the slightly run down diner just on the edge of town and told him in no uncertain terms that he had half an hour and that he was paying for Steve's meal. 
It didn’t go well. Billy had stumbled his way through his halting, awkward apology, and Steve had hardly listened, more interested in interrupting to insist that Billy look at him, not the table, or tutting loudly whenever Billy started gnawing on his thumbnail in an attempt to calm his nerves.  And Billy got it, he did, the reason why Steve wanted to exert some control over the situation, but something about his sharpness reminded Billy too much of the 'conversations' he had with Neil, and he’d ended up tripping over his words so much that he couldn't even get the actual apology out before Steve was shaking his head and throwing down a tip without even counting it- although Billy could tell from sight that it was at least twice what the meal had cost- before striding away with nothing more than a gruff, "Whatever. Time's up, asshole," hissed in Billy's direction.
And maybe Billy should've left it. But it nagged at him, festering away and keeping him awake until a Thursday night a few weeks later, when he found himself, once again, tailing Steve's Beemer as he made his way from the Arcade to the diner. And this time Billy's speech wasn't rehearsed in the car beforehand. This time he launched right into it and he spoke from the heart, a clichéd phrase that he detested but that he kinda understood now, now that he felt filled with a sudden, burning desire to open up his heart and scoop out all that bad, putrid stuff he kept within him and maybe, possibly, make room for... something. Something he couldn't, or wouldn't, name but Something. Something better. Lighter. Easier to carry around.
This time the apology came easily. 
And this time Steve seemed to listen. Maybe Billy had caught him on a good day, maybe he was just surprised that Billy was willing to try again, or maybe Max had worked her puppy-eyed, sternly worded magic, but this time Steve nodded in all the right places, at least, and he smiled a little when Billy called himself an asshole, then winced and shook his head when he started to call himself some harsher names, and he even looked a little concerned when Billy had to pause and duck his head down, swallowing back the burn of tears in his throat before he could carry on.
And he stayed there, in his seat, still listening as Billy's apology concluded with a, "And yeah, I know I'm a piece of shit and you don't… I don't expect you to forgive me. But I'm sorry, Steve. I am. Really sorry."
Steve had been silent for a moment, seemingly chewing over Billy's words, and Billy could've sworn he saw a flash of guilt in Steve's eyes as he pushed a laminated menu across the table and asked, "You gonna get anything, dude?" 
And when Billy simply stared at him, Steve had carried on talking, his words coming out in a rush, "Cause, uh, the cherry pie's to die for. It comes with this, like, peach ice cream. Or I guess it could be apricot, maybe? I dunno. 's nice though. Tastes like summer. Like sunshine."
And then he smiled. Warm and soft as he tapped a finger on the menu, "You gotta try it, OK? Lemme-"  Steve waved his hand, summoning a waitress seemingly from thin air, "- this one's on me."
So Billy took the dessert as an olive branch, tasting forgiveness with every sweet bite of pie, trying not to read too much into the way Steve's smile grew even more when Billy mentioned coming back the next week, to see if the apple pie was as good as the cherry. 
It soon became a thing. The two of them coming every Thursday night, arriving in separate cars but always sharing the same booth, stilted conversation quickly becoming easier and lighter. Steve had a knack of saying just the right thing to get Billy laughing so hard he snorted strawberry milkshake out of his nose, while Billy thrilled at having Steve hanging on his every word as he told stories about growing up in Cali, and it wasn't long before they made the decision to 'save on gas' and share a ride, usually Billy's, and the journey there was just as much fun as the meal, the two of them arguing playfully over the music until they finally compromised on something like Queen or ELO, and Billy, despite his initial eyeroll, would be out-singing Steve by the chorus. 
So Rosie’s Place became Their Place. Somewhere special. Somewhere safe. It was the place where they went after Steve's fifth and final college rejection, Billy managing to take his mind off things for the first time in weeks as he fed quarter after quarter into the jukebox and queued up a whole host of Steve's favourite oldies, crooning the lyrics into the slab of pie he’d speared on his fork until Steve begged him, through tears of laughter, to stop. 
It was the place they went when Billy needed to get away from Cherry Lane, when his lip was split or his ribs were bruised and he didn't want to talk about it, but he didn't want to be alone, and so Steve would carry the conversation, talking about whichever terrible movie he'd been watching most recently and glowing with satisfaction when he’d say something like, “And I swear, man, I was like half an hour in, maybe more, before I figured out that  The Count of Monte Cristo wasn’t gonna be a vampire movie,” and the broken look in Billy’s eyes finally disappeared, replaced with something that any outsider would probably describe as ‘fond.’ 
And it was the place where it all built up. Months and months of flirty jokes and hands brushing as they stole fries and moments where the conversation faltered and they would just look at each other from across the booth, both of them feeling like they were holding their breath, just waiting for something.
And it was the place where it happened. Where all those moments culminated into Something when Billy's foot pressed against Steve's under the table and Steve didn't pull away, didn't give Billy a chance to pretend it was just an accident, but instead he kept up the contact, trailing his sneaker up the back of Billy's leg, his eyes never leaving Billy's the whole time, both swallowing in sync as the moment grew and their fingers twitched, Billy’s hand sliding across the table, Steve’s fingers reaching out to meet it, fingertips touching just for a second before they both exhaled, rising at the same time and pausing only to throw a fistful of bills down on the table before they hurried out to Billy's car, parked so close that the neon signs of the diner cast a pinkish light over the front seats, illuminating the two of them as they fell into their seats and sat closer than ever before, Steve's hand resting on Billy's thigh with a tentative, shaky touch that Billy responded to with an equally shaky "Stevie?" as he laced their fingers together. And then they moved towards each other, so instinctively, so easily, Steve letting go of Billy’s hand only to gently cup his face, his thumb stroking over Billy’s freckled cheekbone as he guided Billy closer, and Billy let himself be led without question, his heart opening, ready and eager for Steve’s love, almost aching with how right it felt when Steve’s lips met his. Steve, who tasted of peach ice cream, and the sharp, perfect tang of cherry pie. Who tasted like summer. Like sunshine. Like hope.

sorry if this is like off topic but like. with how biased some of the videos seem towards Dream and his plays I can’t help but wonder if they’re biased towards other ccs too, and because we aren’t also fans of these other ccs/the ccs don’t have as many fans- no one’s noticed yet.
it’s like. ok this is def off topic, but I watch commentary channels a lot and when someone I’ve watched before makes a video on Dream and they just. get shit wrong. it’s just like. wow as an expert on this topic (Professional Dream Stan for 2 years) seeing how much shit they’ve gotten wrong and/or misconstrued/left out, you can’t help but wonder what else they’ve gotten wrong. and now you can’t trust the channel anymore. it’s like that I guess.
if you can leave out shit probably the biggest mcyter does, what else can you get away with bc you don’t like some contestant?
thank god i don’t watch commentary channels. anyway ifl the reason why dream isn’t featured as much as he should be in the top 10 plays videos is because they wanna bring attention to other plays people aren’t as aware about. but sometimes its just dumb to me. sometimes it feels like they’re bending over backwards. and what they choose to feature instead i just don’t agree with. anyway i’m over them not featuring dreams RSR bc tbh it isn’t the BEST rsr ever or anything. but them deciding to feature purpleds tgttosawaf in mcc22 when dream was FIRST and had a crazy streak of 7,13,2,1,2,2 or something was like a crime. they were like forget the guy in first, here’s the dude who got 2nd and didn’t do anything more significant than the guy in 1st! And they proceeded to talk about illumina in tgttosawaf for pride (which was deserved obviously but its the weird logic they applied beforehand that confuses me) because he was 1st in the game so its like. guys. what is the rationale here
and its like. its one thing to not talk about dream that much. even tho u can just make the video longer bc theres a honorable mention section. but lets say ur lazy. fine. don’t talk about him that much then even if he makes plays that qualify for top 10 or that are more impressive than what was actually talked about in top 10
BUT THEY CLICKBAIT HIM. in almost EVERY top 10 plays video. So. FOR VIEWER RETENTION SAKE AT LEAST. if ur gonna clickbait someone in the thumbnail. and the people who click are obviously people who clicked FOR dream………. PUT HIM IN THE VIDEO A LITTLE MORE MAYBE……?

This Episode Of Mikey... Torture?
This is just me rambling.
QUICK RANT, CAN I JUST SAY IT REAL QUICK? (It’s not related to just this video)
What happened to the thumbnails in these videos?! Seriously. I know they weren’t creative before, but these new ones just look unrealistic.
In the past, it was just the blue textbox, and an actor’s face on the side.
Then as we moved on, they pick the cringiest of actor faces to put in the thumbnail, which I can tolerate, cause laughs, and I expect it.
But then the actor’s are OUTLINED for some reason?
And now the eyes are DRAWN onto them to make them look bigger, when they didn’t need to?
DRAWN TEARS?
Dhar Mann, you DON’T need to make these additions to your thumbnails. They were fine in the past! Why are you trying so hard with these? You’re just making the video look LESS appealing.
Rant Over
So on this episode of Mikey being tortured. We get the continuity that Jayden is now a successful streamer, which I guess is nice.
Mikey actually ASKS for HELP from Jayden at the start, asking Jayden to spend time with him and teach him how to play basketball for his own friends.
Huh, I guess Mikey DID learn his lesson before.
But Jayden says no cause he’s at work playing video games. Mikey then asks if he can play too, but Jayden denies. 
To be fair, Mikey only sprung at the offer when he heard about the money, but still, kinda cold to shun him Jayden.
Which led to this exchange:
“What did Mikey want?”
“Help with another genius plan. I always tell him to quit while he’s ahead, but he never listens.”
Jayden. My guy. Mikey DID NOT say ANYTHING about a plan. He just asked you to play with him!
Also “Quit while you’re ahead”
Is that the message we’re going with now? That people should just give up?
I had an audition today, and I memorized a lot of stuff or it beforehand. So technically, I was ahead.
Is this video implying I should’ve given up?
That message makes no sense.
But I guess we need an excuse to dump on Mikey because ‘Mikey bad kid. That’s his only character trait. We’re gonna grind that in your heads and make Mikey suffer until you the audience believes it!’
Word of Advice: Making a character suffer over and over again doesn’t make me hate the character. Especially if they’re children. That only makes me sympathize with the character.
But hey, we have more context as to why Mikey hates Jayden so much, and is jealous of his success.
1. Jayden NEVER wants to hang out with him
2. Jayden STOLE his dream
3. Jayden has ALL THE FRIENDS IN THE WORLD
Of course ANYONE would have a negative relationship towards that brother.
Maybe the video can teach the brothers to treat each other equally, with respect, kindness, and-
Edit: ...Wait...
So then someone decides to troll Jayden with his game.
That’s not evil. A LOT of people do this. GROWN ADULTS DO THIS. A lot of people can lighten up and learn to take a joke. THREE FORTHS OF GAMING CONTENT ON YOUTUBE CONSISTS OF TROLLING.
Yeah, if Jayden wasn’t okay with it, he should have confronted Mikey about it and told him straight, “Hey, I don’t permit gaming trolls, please don’t do them.” But he NEVER said that!
So Jayden confronts Mikey, quote; “I know you wanna destroy what my friends and I are gonna make at the build-off. But you know what? WHaT hApPeNs IN tHe DaRk WiLl AlWaYs CoMe TO lIgHt.”
But Mikey claims he has nothing to do with it, and says that he admired Jayden’s work. Honestly, I can let that slide, since it WAS his dream at one point. 
But what I can’t excuse is why Mikey would suddenly want to HELP Jayden despite being shunned earlier? Like, you don’t have to step in here. You should just ignore Jayden right back. 
So they decide to exploit the culprit by...
Cheating.
Cheating is okay now, kids!
So turns out, it was this poor girl at school, who trolled because she’s broke. Makes sense. And everyone hates her. 
But then they give her all the money, so, NO CONSEQUENCES.
Wait, so Mikey DIDN’T get shunned. And Actually got character development?
Huh. That is the first.
I mean. I guess the candy episode had it that way too, but hey. Cheating is okay kids. As long as it means shunning poor people and praising the rich!
Eh, better than nothing I guess.
Though, I don’t expect to get comfortable with Mikey and Jayden learning to respect each other. It’ll probably be forgotten about in the next video like with Owen’s existence. 
Give us Owen back! I actually liked that character, by Dhar Mann standards.
But if it doesn’t, I’ll be surprised, and honestly, it IS a step in the right direction.
It’s gonna take a lot of steps for me to call it ‘good’, but NOT the worst Dhar Mann video ever.
But seriously, FIX YOUR THUMBNAILS. These are extremely unappealing! Go back to what you did with the thumbnails a year ago!

Birthday Surprise
MASTERLIST
So I actually got this idea from a adult romance book I read last year and it was so humorous, I knew I wanted to write a scenario like it with Spencer and the team. Besides, Spencer can be funny at times too.  Hope you enjoy!
Spencer Reid/Reader
Rating: M (smut)
Word Count: 2,529
Tumblr media
You can’t believe you let your best friend talk you into this.
“It will be a great birthday present!” Bree exclaimed, beaming.
You grumble to yourself. This was a better idea in theory than reality.
Your boyfriend, Spencer Reid, had a birthday coming up. It was the last year of his 30’s and you really wanted to do something special for him, but with every gift you thought of, it just didn’t seem to be enough.
That was when Bree, the grand schemer of all schemes, came up with what she thought was a brilliant idea. 
She worked at a nice, upscale restaurant as a waitress. Also, she had one of the nicest sections. You were to make reservations for you two and you would hide under the table for when he arrived and you could give him a secretive, surprise blow job. It would be hot and memorable, she said.
You arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes early. Bree had managed to snag you a table that was off in a corner, with more privacy and helped you under the table. Which is where you currently were.
It all sounded great when she had hatched the idea, now you just felt silly, your knees were numb and your feet were falling asleep. You were about ready to give up and come out from under the table with your tail between your legs when you heard voices approaching your table.
“Here’s your table, sir, I’ll be right back with your menu,” Bree said, probably louder than she should have. 
With one rap against the table, you knew that she was giving you the signal that you two were alone now. 
You watch as he sat down and you see his familiar black converse suddenly appear inches from your legs, his black suit pants accompanying the shoes. He’d probably just come from work.
You hesitate, not sure if you should go through this, but decide you’ll never get another chance like this. You’re reaching out for his belt buckle when you hear Bree’s voice, loud and close again.
“Can I help you?”
There was a pause and then a mixture of voices you didn’t recognize.
“Let me see if I have a bigger table available in my area! I’ll be just one second!” 
Bree’s voice is suddenly high pitched, sounding frantic. You know her voice only sounds like that during super busy shifts, when she’s panicked and freaking out. Something is wrong and you have no idea what’s going on.
Your phone buzzes in your purse. You twist around, not easily, to retrieve it from your bag. It’s a text from Bree.
ABORT MISSION. More dinner guests.
Your brows furrow. You have no earthly idea what she’s talking about. You send back a few question marks.
A huge group of people just showed up to your and Spencer’s table.
Your phone vibrates repeatedly with multiple texts from your friend.
Tall assassin looking black woman.
Hispanic looking guy with nice hair.
Buff Asian hottie with tattoo.
Italian grandpa.
Brunette boss lady with bangs.
Pretty blonde with killer legs.
Another blonde wearing every color in the rainbow and cute shoes.
You stop breathing for a second. They all sound like Spencer’s coworkers.
As in coworkers from the team in the unit of the FBI, where he works. This was not how you planned to meet them for the first time.
You have no idea why they’re here though, so you’re just as bewildered as Bree. But you’ve started to panic, trying to figure out how you’re gonna escape with no one seeing you. It would be humiliating to meet Spencer’s work family like this.
How the hell am I gonna get out from under the table without them knowing?
Don’t worry, I got this.
You hear the clicking of heels approaching and hear Bree talking to the team.
“We’re working on that table, why don’t I escort you all to the bar so you can see our drink menu.”
“I’ll wait here with you, Spence,” a male voice said.
“Damnit,” you mumble.
Now your escape was going to be even harder.
The majority of the voices fade away with Bree’s and you sighed, resigned to the fact that you’re going to be stuck under this table for a while.
You make a mental note not to listen to another one of Bree’s ideas.
“So, kid, did you tell Y/N that you were inviting us to your birthday dinner? We’re all so excited to meet her.”
“No,” Spencer answered the deep, older sounding voice, “I wanted to surprise her because I was afraid if I told her beforehand she’d stress out about meeting all of you.”
Well that explained that.
You were surprised alright. 
“How long have you been together now? Over a year? And we haven’t even met her yet? Are you sure you haven’t made her up?”
You bite your thumbnail trying your hardest not to laugh out loud.
“No, Rossi, I haven’t made her up. She’s real. Besides you know every time we tried to make plans something has come up.”
“Quite conveniently too, I might add.”
You already like this guy.
“She should be here soon,” Spencer said.
You catch a glimpse of him pulling his phone out of his pants pocket, positive he’s checking if there’s any missed texts or phone calls from you.
You guess now is the best time of any to make him aware of your presence. 
Your hand slides up his thigh and you choke back your cackle when he practically jumps ten feet in the air.
“Something wrong?” 
“Uh I dropped my phone under the table, let me just get it.”
His chair scoots back and he bends down under the table, pretending to retrieve his phantom fallen cell phone. His eyes widen when he sees you under the table. You give a meek smile and wave in return.
You point to your phone, miming texting to tell him that’s the only way you can talk without being found out.
“Oh found it. It fell against the wall.”
Spencer sits back up again, pulling his chair in as he settles.
“I think I’m gonna text Y/N, just so I can get her ETA,” Spencer says calmly.
He’s way too good at staying calm in situations, so you’re not too surprised that he sounds completely normal even though he just discovered his girlfriend curled up in an uncomfortable position, under a table in a restaurant.
I’m afraid to ask why you’re under the table.
That was one good thing about Spencer; he didn’t have a mean bone in his body. So instead of mocking you, embarrassing you or even being angry, he approached most things calmly. Although you’re sure he’s secretly dying of amusement over this. You’re positive this isn’t going to be the last time you hear about this.
Well, I was kinda hoping to surprise you for your birthday with a hot, secret blowjob...but it kinda blew up in my face instead of how you were supposed to.
You hear him snort above you which he quickly covers with a cough.
“Y/N should be here soon. She’s probably closer than she thinks.”
You hit his leg. What a smart ass he is, although technically he is a smart ass but that’s another story.
Help me get out of here. I don’t want to exactly pop out to meet your teammates like “hi I was just hiding out for a nice birthday sexcapade nice to meet you”.
Technically doesn’t that mean an illicit affair?
Spencer, we really need to introduce you to Urban Dictionary.
A chorus of voices approach the table.
“Any update on that table?” came a female voice.
“Nothing yet. But, uh, have you seen their amazing aquarium? Come on, I’ll show it to you!”
“I gotta head to the ladies room, I’ll find you at our new table.”
This voice was a different female voice from the first one.
You wait until the numerous voices get far enough from the table when you decide to peek from underneath the tablecloth. You curse, seeing a woman that looks a lot like what Bree described as the brunette boss lady walking in your direction. That was most definitely Spencer’s boss. 
You drop the tablecloth like it’s on fire, concealing yourself once again. You watch as the feet pass by the table and brave another look. Thankfully, it’s all clear.
You dash as fast as you towards the kitchen. If Bree is in there, your hands might find their way around her neck.
“Bree, that could’ve been disastrous!” you shriek, causing a few of the kitchen staff to peer over at you.
Sorry, you mouth, wincing.
“Well it’s not like Spencer is mad is it?” she asked, loading plates onto her tray.
“No, but he’s not going to let me live it down.”
“Hey, think of it this way. He’s gonna be thinking of that BJ the entire dinner,” she smirked.
“I’m never listening to another one of your hair brained ideas,” you grumbled.
“Hey, you’ll thank me later,” she sing-songed lifting the tray of food to her shoulder, “Now just go out the back kitchen door, walk around to the front of the restaurant and it will be like nothing ever happened.”
She was gone through the swinging doors in a jiff and you sighed, heading towards the back door.
It takes a whole ten minutes for you to circle the entire building before you finally reach the front doors. You attempted to compose yourself and straighten your red mini dress before entering and going to find the new table. You spot them a few minutes later and walk up nervously.
“There she is!”
Spencer’s face lights up when he sees you and suddenly you don’t feel as nervous as you did seconds before. He loved this group of people and that meant a lot to have a Spencer seal of approval. Maybe the night wouldn’t be so bad after all.
“Did you take the subway here?” Emily asked.
“Um, yes. That’s why I’m late, I’m so sorry.”
“I sure hope it wasn’t too crowded down there—I mean in there,” Spencer smirks.
You shoot him an exasperated look and are met with one of his thousand kilowatt smiles.
Turns out, dinner wasn’t so bad after all.
“You were right; they were all incredibly nice,” you say as you and Spencer walk in the door of your apartment, “I love them.”
“I knew you would,” he smiled.
“So, have you had a great birthday?”
“Well I’ve had quite the unusual one, that’s for sure.”
You stifle a groan as you kick off your heels in the hallway.
“I still can’t believe you actually hid under a table to surprise me.”
He’s already laughing again.
“I’m still gonna kill Bree.”
“Hey,” he grabs you by the arm, turning you towards him, “I’m incredibly flattered that you went to such lengths for me.”
“Really?” you asked timidly.
“Of course,” he smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, “Not every girlfriend would plan to blow their boyfriend in front of his coworkers.”
“Spencer!”
“I’m kidding, I’m kidding,” he chuckled, leaning against the hallway wall, pulling you towards him and kissing you.
“Mm, well it is still your birthday, you know,” you say devilishly, biting his bottom lip gently then kissing him again.
You pull away, taking a hold of his tie before leading him to the bedroom. It takes a few minutes for you both to make it there as he stops you frequently to steal a kiss or two.
Finally at your destination, you push him against the closed bedroom door, fingers pulling off his tie. Your lips trail his jaw then neck, fingers fumbling over his button down. 
He chuckles amused, aiding you. Your mouth travels down his neck and over his chest, making slow work of your descent. He watches you closely as you fall to your knees, a kiss placed just above the waistline of his pants. Your hand comes up to press against the forming bulge in his pants and he groans lowly.
“I may not have been able to do this earlier, but we’ve got all the time in the world now,” you bite your lip and peer up at him innocently.
Popping the button and pulling his zipper down, you push his pants down over his hips. The edges of your fingers dip into the waistband of his underwear and you hear the sharp intake of his breath; you can tell how much he’s anticipating this.
Apparently Bree was right and he had been thinking about it all dinner long, especially if his small stolen touches under the table were any indicator. There would be a gentle touch on your thigh, slowly sliding just a bit too close towards your inner thigh; an arm wrapped around your back, his fingers just casually brushing the bottom swell of your breast. He had been ready for this hours ago and you were ready to give it to him.
Your eyes don’t leave his as the clothing is pulled downwards and you wrap a hand around him, squeezing just hard enough to cause his head to fall back with a dull thud against the door, a groan coming from deep in his throat.
You lean down, tongue swirling around the tip, agonizing slow, your fingertips ever so slightly tracing down his length.
“Oh god,” he groaned, “Don’t tease me, Y/N.”
“Not so fun when you're not the one dishing it out, now is it?”
He could be the ultimate tease in the bedroom, so this taste of his own medicine was long overdue.
Your tongue swirls around him before taking him in your mouth, his moan of relief and pleasure filling your ears. 
With hollowed cheeks, you alternate your speed and pressure, keeping him on his toes, making your next move unpredictable to him.
“Baby, please.”
His moans are louder and more frequent as his hand moves into your hair. You look up through your lashes as you work him, keeping your gaze locked on him. You think you actually hear him whimper.
Your hand pumps the rest of him, your wrist turning as your mouth moves on him, your tongue whirling as if you’re enjoying a favorite ice cream cone.
His hand tightens in your hair and you can tell he’s close to losing all control. 
“Y/N, Y/N, fuck, fuuuuck,” he groans finally letting go and succumbing to his ecstasy.
You take all he has in stride, discreetly wiping your mouth when you pull back although you’re sure he’s too dazed to notice.
“Happy birthday to me,” Spencer mumbles, pulling you to your feet and kissing you.
You break the chaste kiss, backing up towards the bed.
“Well lucky for you, there’s still three and a half hours left of your birthday. How about we do a little more celebrating?”
It takes him all of two steps to cross the room and take you in his arms, causing you to giggle.
Yeah, this would be a birthday he wouldn’t forget anytime soon.

my high hopes (are getting low)
2.6k words [total 13k words] (part one) (part two) (part three) | AO3 Link | warnings: homophobia, use of slurs, dubious morality, completely unnecessary religious references, implied/referenced self-harm
‘Cause my High hopes are getting low because these people are so old The way they think about it all If I tried I would never know
Light Yagami's world view is shifted after a conversation with his father concerning L's sexuality. Anger in his veins and unconfessed feelings bubbling to the surface, L and Light have a chat about sexuality, morality, and homoerotic hand washing. 
~
Light entered the task force headquarters quietly. There was no one sitting in front of the large monitors for once, but they were still streaming the footage from the cameras in everyone's room. He looked up and on a smaller screen he saw L’s room; the detective quietly working on his laptop. 
Walking to the elevator with purpose, Light rode it up to the floor L was staying on. The path to his room he had taken so many times over the months they were chained together, he wouldn’t be surprised if his footsteps were burned into the hotel-esque carpet he was walking under. 
He stood outside L’s door, and it was only then that Light felt a slight nervousness creeping over him, hovering behind him. He sent Ryuk away (distracting the flighty Shinigami with a basket of apples in a blindspot of the cameras) so he knew it was his own anxieties over the looming conversation with the man. 
“The worst he can say is no,” Light told himself.
He punched in the code to enter the room. The lock clicked and Light walked in, immediately meeting L’s gaze, his wide eyes narrowed with confusion. 
“Light,” He said simply, closing the lid of his laptop, “I was mildly concerned about where you had run off to since you did not return with the others,” 
Light shrugged, “Am I not free now to leave headquarters whenever I want? I am not chained to Matsuda,” 
L pressed his thumb to his lips, “Yes, I feel as though there would be even more physical altercations between you two than there were with us.” Light didn’t respond, and his eyes scanned the room, noting how the room had changed. The typically neat coffee table was now scattered with papers in L’s messy handwriting. The bed which Light himself really only slept in seemed to be untouched since the last time he was in it. 
L’s cross the room, shoving his hands in his pockets, “It is late, Light, and you have your own room. Did Watari forget something when he transferred your belongings into your space?” 
Chuckling, Light shook his head, “A few days ago we were together 24/7, now it feels like you are trying to get rid of me.” L’s expression was unreadable, so Light continued, “I actually wanted to talk to about something, Ryuzaki,”
“Oh. Is this in regards to the Death Note?” 
“Oh, uh, no. This actually has nothing to do with the case,” This surprised L, his expression flickered with an emotion Light could not place, “Forgive me for assuming, but were you tapped into the conversation that the rest of the detectives and myself had at Shirokuma?” 
L rubbed his feet on top of each other, looking pointedly away from Light, “I choose not to come to the bar with you guys, why would I know what was discussed?” 
“That is not what I asked, Ryuzaki,” 
L bit his lip and sighed, making his way over to his laptop. Light followed as he was inputting his password, “Fine. I was able to tap into the bar security system and observed you all using the cameras there. There is no audio.” 
Light smiled in spite of himself. His suspicions about L observing them had been on the mark as usual. He knew the man all too well. 
“Well, at one point, in the conversation, we began discussing you.” 
“Naturally.” L tapped his lips with his index finger. 
“And Aizawa told us something, Ryuzaki, something that he was told by Wedy and Aiber,” L’s tics stopped immediately. HIs face flickered with that same emotion from before, but this time it lasted longer, and Light could now see it was panic on the young detective's face. “I am sure you can piece together what was discussed,” 
L crossed the room, staring at an old blackboard that had information about the Yotsuba group. Light could sense the nerves radiating off of L, but he was doing his best to act unaffected by the news. 
“I felt as though disclosing my sexuality to everyone would cause unnecessary problems. I have kept it to myself for long enough, I have gotten quite good at hiding that part of me away. Moreover, my preferences are not important to the Kira case, so there was no reason to bring it up in the first place,” He faced away from the board and looked at Light, sorrow in his expression, “I will not apologise for that. However, I do want to apologise to you, specifically, Light,” L bit his thumbnail, looking down at the carpet, “I realise now that being handcuffed to someone who you now realise is attracted to the same gender could be seen as uncouth. I would be lying if I said the implications of it had not crossed my mind a couple times. I did not want to bring it up because I feared it would have created unnecessary tension, and I assumed you would never find out. I am sorry, Light,” 
Light shrugged, “I am going to be honest, I never would have guessed,” 
“Like I said before, I am good at hiding aspects of myself away for the comfort of others,” L expression changed when he told Light; the eye contact was more intense and vengeful, and Light got the feeling they were not talking about queerness anymore. 
“Ryuzaki, I want to assure you your apology is unnecessary. I completely see why you did not disclose that information to me. You have a right to your privacy.” He sighed, sitting down on the bed, “I am only sorry that you got outed,” 
L stayed silent and Light inspected the laces on his shoes, wanting to take them off but not wanting to look as though he was getting too comfortable around L- this was a difficult conversation to have and he wouldn’t blame him if he kicked Light out at a moment’s notice. 
“I can only assume the others did not take it well, and that is why you are here,” L stiffly shoved his hands in his pockets, Light could only assume it was to prevent himself from biting his nails down the stubs- a bad habit he noticed of L’s after their months together. L interpreted Light’s silence and sighed, rubbing his feet over one another, “Hm. Well. I suppose it could have ended worse,” 
“Ended?” 
L sat down next to Light on the bed, maybe a little too closely, but it somehow felt too far. L blinked slowly at Light, and he felt a harsh pang in his heart looking L in the eyes, “Us, the detectives, you and I… We will be parting ways soon.” 
The silence hanging over the room was palpable. Light wasn’t sure how to respond. He knew he was right. Just hours beforehand, he was working and making plans for L’s demise, “Ryuzaki.” Light kept looking at L, “It doesn’t have to be that way,” 
L looked at Light, vulnerability and heartbreak in his eyes, “There was never any other way,” 
Even though he was unable to place precisely why, he felt his anger rising, Light                                            clenched his fists, venom dripping in his voice , “Why are you speaking like this, Ryuzaki? Stop talking like it’s over, like you have no choice,” 
L pressed a thumb against his lips, softly speaking, “Well, it is no longer up to me, is it, Light?” 
They had been at this impasse for a while now, ever since those many months ago when L revealed himself to Light at To-Oh. The task force may believe his act of innocence, and Misa may believe he is just being clever, but L and Light have known the truth for a very long time. So much has happened since then, so much has changed. It is hard to say whether or not Light had evolved after all this time, and Light still believed that after all everything, he is still the same. And yet, the hard truth is, deep down, Light has changed. Maybe it is the conversation he had with the task force and Ryuk only hours earlier, maybe it is the months of being together, maybe it is the greys in his morality that were previously drained from Light’s world coming back as quickly as it did when his memory of the Death Note were returned; Light was looking this complicated, quiet man in the eyes- Hideki Ryuga, Ryuzaki, L, and he finally has to confront the truth he has been putting off for so long: he doesn’t have the strength to let L die. 
Light tore his gaze away from L, idly flooding with his thumbs. They didn’t speak for a while. L pulled his knees up to his chest and bit the skin around his nail, neither of them sure of what to say. 
Light sighed, catching L’s attention. He leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees, “Ryuzaki, do you know who one of my biggest inspirations is? Who I attempt to model my life after?” 
He pondered this for a moment. “Your father?” 
“Correct,” Light responded, staring at the carpet, “He always had such a strong sense of right and wrong- a strong sense of justice. Being raised by him was a privilege in more ways than one. He taught me so much about honor and fairness at such a young age. I respected my father more than anyone else in the world,” 
L dropped his finger from his lips, “Respected?” 
Light sat up straight, his body stiffening. He dug his nails into his knees, keeping the previous embers of anger smothered, “When we were at the bar, talking about what Aizawa had said, I almost understood where he was coming from. Older generation. It is no excuse, but I felt as though it was something to agree to disagree on. And then...” Light cut himself off, balling his fists. He winced in pain at the previously made cuts on his palms, releasing his grip. 
L inspected his motions, and slowly moved closer to him, “Light.” He softly grabbed his wrists and opened his palms, the raw, angry half-moon cuts still indented into his palms. “You’re hurt.” L rubbed the marks on his palms slowly and with care, but it still caused Light to wince slightly. 
“He said that if he ever found out I even kissed another man, he would kill me himself,” He spoke softly, almost unsure if the words escaped his throat. 
L stopped his small movements over his hands. Wordlessly, he made his way to the bathroom and came back with a damp washcloth and hydrogen peroxide. He sat next to Light again, dampening his hands with wet cloth. 
“Light’s father said that he would kill him if he was gay,” L spoke softly as he washed his hands with the washcloth, “This made Light angry, and hurt himself,” 
Light stayed silent for a moment, L moving onto his right hand to wash, “It sounds foolish now,” 
“I don’t think so,” 
Swallowing thickly, Light responded, “I just always regarded my father so highly; I saw him as this honor bound man with a strong moral code. But when he said that to me… Something shifted. He can be this man with a strong sense of justice, but has ideals that are so backwards,” L looked like he wanted to say something, he opened his mouth to speak but closed it again. He instead poured the alcohol onto the wash cloth, telling Light it was going to sting a bit. Light already knew this. “I was upset. There are worse things in this world than a boy kissing another boy, and there are so many incredible people through time who were queer, and even now. To write them all off because of something like that is foolish,” 
L nodded, “So, you were upset because of your father’s narrow view on the world?” 
“Yes,” Light watched L’s careful hands as he rubbed over and inspected every cut, “The way they think about it all… If I tried I would never understand…” L’s fingers lingered on Light’s hand for a second longer before moving onto the left hand. He felt his heart beating in his chest, “And I have to be honest… There may have been a personal vendetta as well,” He said softly. 
L’s movements stopped completely, hand resting in hand, as he looked up. He inspected Light’s face, his eyes wide, “Light, you are telling the truth this time, aren’t you?” 
Nodding, he tore his gaze away from the other man, “Yes. You were honest with me, it is only fair,” 
“I didn’t have a choice,” 
“You could have denied it,” 
“Would you have believed me?” 
“I don’t know,” 
L stayed silent. He pulled his hands away to put more rubbing alcohol on the washrag. Light knew the cuts were already clean. He didn’t mind. 
“Your father found out I was gay,” L grabbed the back of Light’s hand with one of his, and wash the palm with the other, “He said that he would kill Light himself if he ever kissed someone of the same gender. Scorchio assumed himself to be speaking hypothetically, but you are gay. The connection follows that Light realised that no matter how much his father loves him, he would still want him dead because of something out of his control,” Light said nothing, paying close attention to the movements of L’s hands and the words out of his mouth, “Light went to the bathroom once that was said, broke down, and hurt himself,” L looked at Light, genuine concern in his eyes, “Do I need to worry about future self-mutilation?”  
Light shook his head, “No. It was one time, and an accident. It was just… Jarring to hear,” 
“I can imagine,” L pulled his hands away, “Do you need bandages?” Light shook his head and L nodded, “I understand,” He went back to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came out. “So, you are here now,” He sat back down next to Light. 
“Ryuzaki,” He turned to L, “After I found out. I got angry. I was filled with rage and didn’t know what to do with it.” Light swallowed steeling himself for his next sentence, “I wanted to hurt them. All of them,” L’s expression didn’t change or warp like he expected it to. He almost wanted to laugh.
 Right. Stalemate.
“They are writing you off because of it, and they would do the same thing to me if they knew. I was angry, I still am. Hurting them won’t change anything. They aren’t going to change their minds either. They need to be taught a lesson, all of them.”
L blinked slowly at Light, “Light. Tell me. What are you doing here?” 
“Revenge. But I need your help, Ryuzaki,” L said nothing, Light talked quicker, “I have an idea. But it involves you, and I need you to be fully on board,” Tilting his head, he looked skeptical, “Ryuzaki, aren’t you tired of it all? Are you sick of just waiting for things to get better, constantly having to hide that piece of yourself, terrified that if it came out everything would fall apart?” Light sighed, “The whole damn system is broken right now, way beyond our repair. We both know that. But I am not above some payback, and I know you are not either,” 
L put a thumb to his lips, pondering. Light could almost hear the internal monologue he was having with himself, but the words are muddy in his mind, as his heart was thumping loudly into his ears. The debate ended, and L looked back into Light’s eyes, a small smirk grew behind his thumb, “What do we need to do?”

RWBY Musings #81: The Queen of Thieves. What if…Weiss Schnee will have to defend her family against Robyn Hill in the next episode?
Tumblr media
Anon-ninja asked “Do you think Oscar might train with ironwood in the next episode? Maybe ironwood will eventually question him in private? That could be used ass a way to get this boy back into the story”
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squiggles Answers:
No; not this family, sadly to say…
Tumblr media
I mean the other one we don’t like to talk about.
Tumblr media
This was originally just going to be just an answer post regarding my favourite best boy: Oscar Pine, however along the way it turned into a short musing post sharing this squiggle meister’s thoughts and theories for next episode, especially where Weiss is concerned. I don’t usually muse about the Weiss-cream but it’s actually an interesting small headcanon. 
Missing Little Prince
But before I get to talking about Weiss. Let’s talk about my boy again, just to answer the anon-ninja who asked me this question. If I can be honest with you anon-chan, I actually hope that's not the case. 
While I'm eager for Oscar to at least appear once next episode (like possibly in another memory flashback courtesy of Ruby to highlight the conclusion to her brief talk with Oscar from V7CH3), I honestly would better prefer for Oscar's training with Ironwood to be its own episode since Oscar could honestly use his own focus episode at this point.  Following his treatment during V6 and his treatment in the recent episode of V7, I am seriously very tired of the Writers overlooking him. Not saying that to sound disrespectful in any kind of way or to rag on the Writers but… I really need to ask---is Oscar a character or not? More than that; is he REALLY a part of the main cast and hero team or not? 
Tumblr media
I’d like to think of Oscar as being in the same class as JNR. He’s part of the deuteroganist group whose story and development is just as important as our protagonist team. Or at least, it’s supposed to be?
 But I’m not sure anymore. I understand that good, exciting things were promised for the precious freckled farm boy turned little prince for this volume and while I’m trying my goshdarndiggity hardest to be as patient as I can be in anticipating that, apologies but my patience was surely tested last episode and it made me think back to V6 where I had a similar experience with Oscar’s story---anticipating him having a great season only for it to fall flat in the end with his overall treatment somehow being worse than V5. At least that’s how it was for me. Not speaking for all Pineheads here. This is only my opinion.
That being said, giving how the story went down last episode and given that CH5 was written by the same CRWBY Writer---Eddy Rivas---who mentioned that CH4 was his ‘baby’ chapter too, I have a feeling that we’re more likely to have a direct continuation to plot points established in that episode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Men On Mission
Now that our heroes have been rewarded their huntsmen licenses and were shown viewing the mission board at the end of the last episode, I feel like the next few episodes---CH5 to CH7 or just CH5 and 6---will be its own little mini-arc; just like how Brunswick Farms was its own little mini-arc back in V6.
I’m curious if the next few episodes might showcase our heroes going on missions around Solitas according to the mission board highlighted in CH4. I want to pay especial attention to the Solitas Mission board since it might provide a clue as to where JNR_RWBY might be next episode.

Okay, so according to the Mission board: there are two escort missions and two perimeter defence missions that are open. The remaining two missions: Search and Rescue and Bounty are stated as “In Progress” so I’m assuming that those two missions already have huntsmen assigned to them.
I’m curious to know if that’s the mission that General Ironwood discussed with Clover beforehand.
Before Ironwood met with JNR_RWBY, he was last seen discussing something with Clover where he mentioned that he needed him on the ground while warning him to be subtle since if the people saw too many huntsmen around, it might attract trouble with the Grimm.
Speaking of, can I just take this moment to address how much Ironwood has grown here? I found it really ironic hearing Ironwood discussing subtly and the attraction of the Grimm with Clover since I still remember that this was the same man who wanted to bring the full force of the Atlesian Army to Vale and went behind his own colleague and fellow headmaster of many years to do so. You know what that’s called? Growth. It’s just a nice little parallel and call back to V2 that I appreciate.
So yeah, I’m assuming that Ironwood must’ve deployed Clover down in Mantle specifically to investigate what happened to Forest. 
Tumblr media
Ironwood told Clover not to take Marrow since he’s probably not the most subtle or discreet of the team. Poor good boy. So I’m guessing that Clover must’ve taken Harriet instead since she was absent along with him in the end. 
Pfft…I almost want to make a wise crack about Clover taking Harriet as his mission partner for good luck since…y’know…she’s based off the Hare from the Tortoise and the Hare fable and y’know…rabbits represent good luck and all that jazz.
Anyways I’m going to assume that Clover and Harriet were deployed to one of the missions on the Board. Probably the Search and Rescue one since it’s slated as in progress. Since Tyrian has been confirmed to be targeting public leaders who speak out against Atlas, I’m curious if another public leader was reported missing in Mantle and Clover and Harriet were tasked in finding them and rescuing them if necessary. That’s pretty my hunch in regards to that.
Resuming talk about CH5, since the thumbnail for CH5 highlighted Robyn Hill making her debut next episode, I'm assuming that it'll continue from where CH4 left off. As I said, CH4 ended with the heroes taking up missions in Solitas.
We know that Jaune already accepted one of the Escort Mission with the pre-schoolers. That leaves the remaining three open missions on the board to be divided between Ren, Nora, Blake, Yang, Weiss and Ruby. 
Elm also hinted that one of the Perimeter Defence missions involving a lose Sayber needing two huntsmen for the job. 
So that leaves me to believe that the second Escort and the second Perimeter Defence mission on the board will probably require 2 huntsmen each depending on their difficulty level. 
Tumblr media
That being said, here’s my squiggly theory for the next two episode mini-arc:
CH5 will be another mission-focused episode with JNR_RWBY each deployed on separate missions across Solitas. Since Jaune will be down in Mantle with his respective escort mission, my hunch is that Ren and Nora (Flower Power) will be joining him down in Mantle since they are the two who will be designated to tackle the Perimeter Defence Mission involving the lose Sayber down in the sewers.
This leaves Team RWBY. Since the season has been going really hard with them since episode 1, I’m going to take a wild guess and say that Yang and Blake (Bumblebee) are going to tag team for the second Perimeter Defence mission. This leaves Ruby and Weiss (Ice flower) with the second Escort mission which I’m going to assume is up in Atlas.
That’s my best guess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Queen Protects King?
Okay, now this is where things are really going to get headcanon-y. It’s also the part involving Weiss.
What if …for V7CH5, Ruby and Weiss take the Escort Mission and the person who they find out they’ll have to begrudgingly escort to wherever in Solitas is none other than Jacques Schnee and possibly Whitley too
Tumblr media
Imagine…the look on Weiss’ face if she were to discover that her very first official mission after becoming an officially licensed huntress basically involves her working for her father and little brother---to be at their beck and call as she and Ruby play huntsmen body guards to protect them and escort them wherever in Solitas?
I think an episode like this would actually be pretty damn fascinating to watch play out, don’t you think? I think it would be great to see how Weiss would react to doing something like this especially after the awesometacular way she told off Jacques last episode. Not to mention that this could potentially be Weiss’ first time seeing Whitley again…now as an official huntress ESPECIALLY since the last time the two spoke, he basically told her that her becoming a huntress was a useless career path.
How did the young Schnee boy describe it? Barbaric? Beneath people like him and his father. I wonder just how barbaric and beneath Whitley it will be as he watches his sister use her abilities to protect his life before his very eyes? He might learn a thing or two.  
Besides I’m also curious to see how Whitley would react to seeing Weiss in action as a trained huntress; honed in her skills especially when she summons her knight. I wonder how Weiss would react having to protect her father and brother as part of her job. Seriously, I really would love for an episode like this.
And y’know what? I think it could potentially even be in the cards. My rationale for thinking an episode like this could potentially be canon is because, CH5 showed Robyn Hill in the thumbnail.
Tumblr media
Robyn Hill is supposedly RWBY’s version of Robin Hood, right? Her and her Happy Huntresses are the RWBY-verse’s rendition of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, right?
That being said; wasn’t Robin Hood’s theme that he stole from the rich to give to the poor? Wasn’t there not a scene in the Robin Hood animated film by Disney where Robin and his Merry Men worked together to rob the greedy Prince John of his richies while he was on an excursion out of his kingdom carrying a chest of gold?
Robyn Hill will appear next episode. One of the missions in Solitas is an escort mission. 
What if…and this is a big if…CH5 will involve Ruby and Weiss tag-teaming for a mission to escort Jacques (and maybe Whitley) on some kind of business mission where they’re supposed to make a deal and collect money or something and during the mission, the group are not only ambushed by the Grimm but also Robyn Hill and her Happy Huntresses who arrived to pilfer from Jacques and take back what he’s exploited from the people of Mantle?
I know this sounds like farfetched idea but maybe I could be onto something. I’d like to think of Jacques as RWBY’s version of the Prince John apart from his double role as the Wicked Queen in Weiss’ Snow White story.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 I also think it could be pretty cool. 
Watching Weiss be a huntress and protect her family.  I know Weiss doesn’t necessarily need to prove anything to Jacques or even Whitley. However, I still think it’d be pretty awesome to see her in action and have Jacques be there to watch his cage bird soar high and kick ass to protect his sorry ass. 
I more like this idea as being a nice little segway into developing Weiss’ side of things. I’d especially love an episode like this so that we can have like a follow-up on what Jacques told Weiss about her dear mother. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weeping Willow
First of all, I know Jacques has already been depicted as the scum of the Earth but how much lower can this man sink if he resorts to using his own ‘wife’s’ disease (I’ll come back to that in a minute) as a means of guilt-tripping Weiss into coming home or worse, make her feel bad for rightfully leaving home after how he treated her last time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What’s noteworthy about that was Weiss’ reaction to learning about how her mother might have felt upon her departure.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is intriguing to me since…not to make it sound bad in any kind of way but, it gave the impression that Weiss actually cares for her mother’s well-being which is…kind of new to me since the last time we saw Weiss in V4, she acted rather indifferent to her mother’s existence.
We never even saw them interact. I know she talked about her in V5, giving some more perspective on how things really were in Schnee Manor. But this is the first time I’ve seen Weiss show genuine concern for her mother and I feel like if she were to see Whitley again, she might be tempted to probe him with questions about the state of their mother.
“Y’know…your mother was devastated. Didn’t leave her room for days. Y’know how she gets when she’s upset?”
Y’know how she gets when she’s upset?
Huh. That’s an interesting thing for Jacques to imply here. I know he probably mentioned that to sort of hint at the common FNDM theory that Ms Schnee is an alcoholic, like Qrow used to be. However, I feel like there is more to it than that.
The first time we heard of Mama Schnee, the impression given was that she was an alcoholic who mostly spent her days drinking her sorrows away than raising her own children. Now, according to Jacques, she sounds more like an ailing mother and that there might be more to her circumstance than I initially pegged.
Due to this, I’m now inclined to ask the question or rather, make the theory:
What if… Mama Schnee suffers with chronic depression and alcohol is basically her coping mechanism to dealing with her condition as an alternative to seeking the right medical attention and help that she needs. 
Perhaps this could potentially tie in further to Jacques’ abuse of his own wife. Like imagine if...Jacques knew of his wife’s condition and used it as a means of manipulating her further?
Like in the beginning when he was being all nice just to get her to marry him and do what he wants, he used to make his wife feel like she didn’t need help at all because to him she was perfect in his eyes. Until the bomb finally went off and now, Jacques uses his wife’s condition as ammo to guilt his children, among other things?
It’s only a small theory. Like I said, I don’t usually muse about Weiss. But since we will be exploring more of her character and backstory this season, it’d be interesting to what’s in store for us with her and her family when we get into their family affairs. 
For now, I’ll just hoping that I’m correct about her and Ruby encountering Robyn Hill and the Happy Huntresses for the first time while defending Jacques of all people. I think that could be really cool to see. But as always, for now, it’s only a theory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 So to conclude...
Now that I’ve mused mostly over Weiss’ side of things for CH5, as for Ruby:
...Well technically Ruby has currently become the main driver for anything to do with Oscar since the subplot involving her deceit if Ironwood is shared with Oscar. 
The most I’m hoping for with CH5 as far as Oscar is concerned is that it’ll show the conclusion to his talk with Ruby from since CH3.
Tumblr media
That’s mostly what I’m hoping for since...honestly I 'm starting to think that Oscar might be absent from the next episode again. At least, I don’t think the plot will focus on him as much as JNR_RWBY unless it’s in flashback mode. 
Similar to Brunswick Farm in RWBY V6, I feel like CH5 and CH6 are probably going to be a mini arc involving our heroes being huntsmen in the field which will lead into them encountering and possibly clashing with the likes of Robyn Hill and her Happy Huntresses.
I genuinely feel like we might not see Oscar training with Ironwood til CH7---the midseason episode. Heck I feel like we might not even see Oscar again at all in the plot until CH7. 
Then again, as I said, this is only my best assumption here and who’s to say I’ll be correct?  I’m just a humble squiggle meister sharing her thoughts and theories as per usual. Take it as you will, fam.

My Long, Mature, Spoiler-Filled, Annoying, Critical, Analytical, Angry 2am Review of MS:WAF... PART 1
Sidenote: I had watched this beforehand, but I watched again to take some notes. Also I got very angry during this, but I actually loved the episode!
-Aww Jess' giggle -OOOOO new blujay studios thingy! -Sidenote: Irene literally plays like ZERO PART IN THIS EPISODE but is somehow in opening scene and is the FUCKING THUMBNAIL bitch you ain't special. -This was the concept art that Jason tweeted! I pay attention, honey. -Change course dumbass! -Agent R you idiot! "They won't shoot yet" Of course they're going to shoot, get into the fucking cabin! Why are you even on the deck? Nobody is manning this boat's controls! -WHAT DID I JUST SAY? THEY. ARE. GOING. TO. SHOOT. -How the hell are they missing every single shot, the fuck? They're like freaking Stormtroopers. -Ah yes, move towards the bullets. -Is Michael Bay on the Blujay team? -Wait, what about the other guy? Is there a crew that you just left behind to drown/burn to a crisp? What the hell is happening? -Okay it is literally impossible that he hasn't been shot, his boat was crossing DIRECTLY THROUGH BULLETS. -Ah yes, boat mechanics. That's how it works. Abso-looney. -YEET -Well, there goes the animation budget. I'm gonna go watch MSS4 Ein vs Aaron fight scene to redeem this. -Also, he was lying on the ground for long enough to get aim and fire. Who the hell did they hire for the Guardian Forces and why are they terrible at their jobs? Almost as terrible as Zack is at being a father oooooo too soon? No, fuck you Zack it's never too soon. Sorry I got emotional, continue. -AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA HIS EARS ARE THE SAME COLOUR AS HIS HAIR AHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA also shit he's a werewolf. -He says 'for me?' like really flattered like "Oooo they didn't forget me and my very important suitcase!" -Wait did he say go? It sounded like no..? I'm gonna assume it was go. -AHHHH HE hAS A LITTLE CURLY TAIIIIIL! -Oh shit, this place got ransacked. -Agent R literally just said ransacked :O I read minds. -GF... GF... huh. Ok. I'll play your games, Jess, but just know that I don't like it. -OKAY so the Guardian Forces came in, the gang had to "Fight for our lives to get out", and Garroth has not a scratch on him, and nobody seems to be dead. How plausible is this? Not. Not at all. But, I said I'll play your games Jess... continue... -Actually scratch that the Guardian Forces are terrible at their jobs so the fact that he isn't injured is absolutely plausible. -Evacuated inland? Who's genius idea was that? Probably Derek's. Coward. -The only reason they can't see you, Garroth, is because they literally have their eyes covered by annoying and unnecessary helmets that no army force should be wearing. -Werewolf strength+potion strength=Garroth can singlehandedly kill most of these guys. -Don't worry about the guns, guys, they have no fucking idea how to use them. -Rookie? I mean sure the guy can't even USE A GUN but y'all didn't know that. He could've been quieter, but he was JUST turned into a werewolf and probs can't control his strength. Idk I'm spiraling. -"Kid" because he isn't Guy Fieri. -Landing like that directly on your legs, without being like a trained gymnast, will most likely injure you to the point where you can't run like you are right now. But hey, that's none of my business. -None of the force decided to stay outside to guard it so they couldn't escape? They keep proving my point of being dumbasses. -Ah, a peaceful panoramic to disguise what just happened. -Those things on the poles look like Travis' shirt hahahahahha. -Is that Aphmau? Ah, the camera is now following her, and she is wearing purple. t is Aphmau. -How did they get that photo? -Ooo everyone's trapped! -Searching the island, but still can't recognize this black haired, amber eyed girl with a purple choker on, the same girl in the photo with their main suspect... These fucking imbeciles. -HOW DID THEY GET ALL OF THOSE PHOTOS!? "Acquired photos" That just so happen to be the most SPECIFIC photos. Like if it was passport photos or drivers liscense or social media, like that I could get, but these are literally impossible, especially the close up of Derek. If they were secretly taking photos, they wouldn't be able to get one from that close up. Funny how this random thing makes me upset. -Why are they both southern? Well, why not I guess. -Mysterious alley? Must be getting money for her drug dealer, -Skip Ad. -Why does it say "thanks for watching" before even the halfway mark? I'm somewhat confused by that for some reason. -Not drugs, secret apartment, okie dokes I like this better. -Of course Zane is being a whiny bitch. -"Safety" is a very flexible word, which is all that you need to know about this conversation. Also that this is apparently now The Maze Runner? I don't know either. -The Guardian F? Just call it the G-Force, like that movie with the guinea pigs and that blind mole who are secret agents. That would make for a much funnier video lol. -That was much longer than it needed to be. That convo did not need to be on screen either, but whatever, it was a really cute friendship moment. -DOES HE HAVE A CHAIN ON HIS JEAnS!? -What is that? -Thou may not have lighting. Well, nevermind, turns out they do have lighting. -How does no one know they're here? -That's the worst map ever. -AWWWW LUCINDA'S OUTFIT! -Oh they haven't looked here yet? You're telling me that there is a huge search out for the Lycan family, and they havene't even MADE IT TO THIS AREA YET? -Okay you won me back with Aaron's smile. -Why are they moving systematically? How small is this task force? How big is starlight? I need numbers people! -So they have a fleet around the island, but no more people to storm the island and actually find the people? Get more people then, call in a SWAT team? Is the Guardian Force even a government approved task force? If they aren't, why are they allowed to shut down a HUGE resort? If they are, how come they don't have A) People who can shoot. And B) Enough people to actually search properly for the people they're looking for? So many unanswered questions! -No Aaron. -No! Say no Derek! -THANK YOU! There are so many holes in this plan! -ALrighty Lycans, you need to step back because NEITHER OF THOSE WILL WORK! Moving inland will corner you, Derek, but transporting your entire group will get you caught, Aaron. What you need to do is figure out their patterns. Move systematically, somewhat like they are, and not in one place for too long? You are stuck in the perfect storm, and none of these options will work, but if you think you can just move inland, away from the GF, you are dumb, but you also can't move all together. -New idea, get guns and shoot at them, because no matter what, they can't shoot back. Because they suck. A lot. I'm still salty. -The thing about being fugitives, Aaron, is that YOU HAVE TO RELOCATE EVERY TIME THEY GET CLOSER! -No it is not. -How about you plan ahead Derek? Why are the women not speaking up, Lucinda probably knows her shit. -DEREK YOU ASSHOLE LISTEN TO AT LEAST A BIT OF WHAT YOUR SON IS SAYING~! -They were both wrong, but I probably would have to agree with Aaron? He's right, move too far inland and you'll run out of places to hide. -Finally a casual Kawaii~Chan. -Nobody knows it's you, Aphmau, or you woulda been taken in. -Dammit Garte. -IT DOES GARTE, YOU WERE PART OF THE MICHAEL THING! -YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW, SO SHUT THE HELL UP! -STOP YELLING AT YOUR WIFE, SHE IS RIGHT! -You cannot be a pessimist right now, Garte, it is not the time. Be there for your son instead of bitching about it. -Well, I guess Garte has 0 loyalty for anyone but his family. -You are interrupting, but thank Irene I was about to slap him. -How much money do they have on them? -STOP BITCHING ABOUT EVERYTHING GARTE! -He's so selfish, what the hell! -Green does not accentuate blue, Zianna. -Flirting gets him to shut up! Hazah! -OH MY GOD I SWEAR I OWN THAT OUTFIT! -Oh shit, that is bloody. How come she is injured, but Garroth and most of the others aren't? -Melissa modesty is not needed rn. -Skip Ad. Also JAX! -Is Zane's hair different? -Everyone always forgets that Garroth isn't the only Ro'Meave. -And then the acid kicked in. -Zane Ro'Meave triggered something. -Aww cuties! -That is not sugar, it is 100% cocaine. -Aww that's sweet. -It's called boosting morale, bitches. -"Eh" Does not mean it didn't go too well, it means that the Lycans are dumbasses. -Yeah, and failing miserably. -No gunshot wounds? Who the hell are these people? -"Hun" aww that's cute. -Garroth=best character -ROWANADNSANSNAJD -What is in the case? -The boat defied laws of physics. -That was a cute reunion, now let's ruin it. -Tons of techies, absolutely TERRIBLE strategy. -No they haven't, and even if they did, nothing would happen because MICHAEL YOUR TASK FORCE SUCKS! -Ok ok I get it, so they don't have full access right? Which means that they do not have a warrant. Which means that they aren't legal. Which means that they DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO GOOSE CHASE THROUGH ONE OF THE LARGEST THEME PARKS EVER... right? -Michael actually doesn't care, apparently, about catching the guy who betrayed him, or about the Ultima case. He just holds thousands of people hostage on some islands for fun! -He is right! Don't take this Toby, fite him! -Fucking Cyborg walks in, just casually, just as you do. -Michael, that's not how time works. -What are they doing? What? Huh? -AND END EPISODE. Wow okay.

half shitpost. half serious. all playlist.
I decided to unceremoniously break the one rule I set for myself every single time a new season of this show is released, which is TO NOT POST SPOILERS EVER, because I figured this was too fun not to share. So, instead of outright filling your dash with my critical & ridiculous thoughts, I’ve composed them into musical format via a YouTube mixtape. It’s 27 songs long and will take about an hour and a half of your life.
Keep in mind that this playlist is FILLED WITH SPOILERS. Even though it’s mostly a joke-y song-inspired summary of the events in S6, please do not listen to the playlist until you’ve watched the entire season. It will make 0 sense, as opposed to the minuscule fraction of sense it would’ve made if you had finished watching. Plus, you’ll be mad that you ruined it for yourself. It’s honestly an interesting collection of episodes!
However, if you are indeed ready, listen to it here!
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgZlbfm6-3v1V5C74fT9uwDZmWroOczHR
(bonus link if the first doesn’t work)
I recommend going in blind and letting it play through without reading the descriptions below until you get to the song, but if you’d rather know EXACTLY what was going through my mind when I slapped everything onto the tracklist beforehand, go wild.
MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS
I just wanted the thumbnail tbh, but this is a good intro track for the mess you’re about to experience.
E P I S O D E   1  -  OMEGA SHIELD
MULAN - I'LL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU
Hunk training w/ Dayak. This one was probably the most visceral song. It was stuck in my head the absolute second he held up those weights.
BONNIE TYLER - TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
Shielding the labor planet from the solar sequences (eclipses are tangentially related, right?) and also a very dramatic way of backing Lance getting saved by Allura.
E P I S O D E   2  -  RAZOR’S EDGE
TAME IMPALA - CONFIDE IN ME (KYLIE MINOGUE COVER)
Allura slooowly trusting Lotor more and more & them being awfully flirty. In a serious sense, this is about him convincing her to let down her guard and let him in on what he wants to have.
CELINE DION - ALL BY MYSELF
Lance getting third wheeled hardcore by Allura & Lotor :( poor dude can’t catch a break.
THE WEEKND - STARBOY (ft. DAFT PUNK)
Keith coming to terms w/ Krolia. I also needed a generally serious jam so this was a good fit to fill the space.
Have you seen that one Lance fanzine by the same name though? Holy shit. The art is incredible.
QUEEN - DON'T STOP ME NOW
Keith & Krolia again, this time ft. them living together for 2 yrs on top of a giant space whale with a bootleg Blink Dog for a pet.
WOODKID - THE GREAT ESCAPE
Krolia & Tex (Keith's dad, still nameless smh) and how they were total badasses together. This is a mix between shitpost and serious because I couldn’t think of anything country/southern-related that fit the bill for their “let’s run off and hide and be together” scenario except for this song. Stuck with the horse metaphor, I guess. :P
THE KILLERS - READ MY MIND
Focus on Krolia & Tex's relationship again, her leaving him for the good of the planet and such. The lyrics are really good here, mainly
The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop dead dream, the Chosen One A southern drawl, the world unseen
E P I S O D E   3  -  MONSTERS & MANA
SKYRIM 8-BIT THEME
for Monsters & Mana aka BEST EPISODE. I can’t believe how nerdy they went. And how accurately nerdy they went. d20s..... playing the same classes after dying.... losing 8 hours in what feels like 8 minutes... Tomb of Horrors... they got it all.
SKRILLEX - REPTILE
CORANIC DRAGON BOSS FIGHT! ‘Cause it’s a giant, fire-breathing reptile.
NITRO FUN & HYPER POTIONS - CHECKPOINT
basically just outro-ing Monsters & Mana. I gotta say, I thought this was the best downtime episode in a while. Maybe not as fun as Space Mall, but really close.
It could also be my favorite because I have 60 D&D characters...  :/
E P I S O D E   4  -  THE COLONY
AC/DC - BACK IN BLACK
Keith returns not only in his dark black Blade of Marmora suit but also to reinstate his role as the Black Paladin for the time being. Kuron’s nearly confirmed as a danger at this point!
THE BEACH BOYS - WOULDN’T IT BE NICE
Romelle telling the tale of their supposed “messiah” being Lotor and all the abuse the missing Alteans went through. I wanted to get a song that accurately captured my emotions of “what the fuck” but nothing I had could match the tone. So why not go for the opposite?
FALL OUT BOY - HEAVEN'S GATE
def Allura & Lotor, mostly Allura thinking that he's finally the one. “Boost” in the lyrics probably refers to Lotor subtly trying to get out of the immoral shit he did in his past that she doesn’t know about yet.
HOE DON'T DO IT, OH MY GOD
they  f u c k i n g  kissed are you KIDDING ME, FOR REAL????
THE GUESS WHO - UNDUN
Everyone telling Allura that Lotor, her bf for all of 2 seconds, is actually a manipulative bastard who not only murdered but isolated and horrifically tortured thousands of her kind. You know, the kind that she believed was entirely EXTINCT except for her and Coran? Oops!
I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - MODERN DAY CAIN
Lotor betraying the team but AT LAST revealing exactly where he stands. He’s been so ambiguously untrustworthy for so long that it feels nice to get some closure.
Allura yeets him across the castle ship and it’s a work of art.
E P I S O D E   5  -  THE BLACK PALADINS
SKILLET - FALLING INSIDE THE BLACK
Keith + Kuron/Shiro fight, alluding to the episode title and both of them literally “inside” of the Black Lion later on. Almost as edgy as their blades.
WOODKID - I LOVE YOU
Keith & Shiro, Keith doing his “I know you’re in there” plea. BROGANES FOREVERRRRR.
god that scene made me cry.
E P I S O D E   6  -  ALL GOOD THINGS
TCHAIKOVSKY - 1812 OVERTURE
Coran & Pidge pulling off the craziest technical stunts and saving the day. I figured I needed at least one purely instrumental song on here.
CRAZY FROG - AXEL F
Keith goes nyoom, aka he asks Shiro’s spirit to help him get back to the Paladins. But nyooming feels right, just like the narm.
E P I S O D E   7  -  DEFENDER OF ALL UNIVERSES
BLOC PARTY - HELICOPTER
Fighting Lotor and his knockoff Voltron. The lyrics in this one reference him ultimately becoming the father whom he despised so deeply. Sweet, sweet psychological revenge.
GLORIA GAYNOR - I WILL SURVIVE
Acxa, Zethrid, and Ezor getting tired of Lotor's shit and betraying him again. It’s a pretty snazzy battle anthem.
P.O.D. - BOOM
The Castle of Lions is destroyed (BOOM!) & Lotor is maybe dead. Action-y song for AWESOME animation.
EVANESCENCE - BRING ME TO LIFE
Allura reviving the hell out of Shiro. He’s back! Probably! And with white hair!
STEVE AOKI (ft. FALL OUT BOY) - BACK TO EARTH
We're going home.
That’s it! Thanks for listening. Feel free to send me a message telling me what you liked about the playlist; I had a lot of fun working on it for the day. Eventually I’ll post some 100% serious mixes... including lots more actual lyric analysis. Next time you’ll see spoilers from me will be July 15th, 2018!

Chris Cillizza LIED About His Trump Crosshairs Picture Excuse
Tumblr media
As Usual The Cover-up, Not The Crime Is What Get's You In Trouble
Chris Cillizza and CNN blamed the Trump Crosshair picture on GifGrabber and a CNN tech mistake, because who the hell looks at their pictures when you're sending out a tweet? If it was any other liberal I would never believe any excuse they give. With Chris Cillizza he doesn't have to utter a word before you know whatever he'll say or write is nothing but bullshit. Last October we call out this two-bit journalist for insinuating that President Trump was a liar. We didn't call him out just for that, but for the fact that Chris Cillizza, nor CNN removed the story after it had been utterly discredited. On Oct 19, 2017 Chris Cillizza published an article entitled: Donald Trump just suggested the FBI, Democrats and Russia might all be co-conspirators. In it he wrote: But even by Trump standards, this morning's tweet is somewhat remarkable. He is suggesting that a dossier prepared by a former member of British intelligence has not only been totally discredited (it hasn't -- more on that in a minute) but that it might have been funded by some combination of Russia, the Democratic Party and, wait for it, the FBI! On October 27th we wrote our story calling out Cillizza, and CNN out for not pulling his moronic story, and they still haven't. There have been, of course, many other stories that have clearly demonstrated Cillizza's lack of ethics, while emphasizing his stupidity. Normally you won't even have to make it past the headline to know that Chris Cillizza wrote another completely full of crap story. Like the story, we did in February where we bashed Cillizza for his click-bait bullshit entitled "People are leaving the Trump White House in record numbers" And this was his "Facts First" picture for the story. Reading his headline it's not hard to guess what is wrong with this picture? In case Chris Cillizza is reading this article we tried to give him a hint where he was factually challenged by circling exactly what's wrong.
Tumblr media
At the time when we and many others called bullshit on Chris Cillizza's bullshit. Instead of being a real journalist and going back and changing the headline to factually read "People are leaving President Trump in record numbers." Chris Cillizza instead showed exactly how morally bankrupt he and CNN are. He amended his story with this little tidbit "CORRECTION: This story has been updated to correctly describe the composite picture."  In the caption, he added his "His story reflected the people in "Trump's orbit." But the picture was never the problem, the HEADLINE was what was factually incorrect, but Cillizza could not admit his dishonesty even when tweeting out to his fans. We are adjusting graphic language. But the stats from Brookings are totally accurate. Thanks for reading. — Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) February 13, 2018 There have been many other examples of his lies and deceit, but his latest FUBAR and his dishonest excuse, even with the use of Liberal logic, doesn't pass the smell test. Chris Cillizza tweet that contained President Trump with a green crosshair overlay picture. That in itself would not have been a big deal, except for the left hyperbole over the Sarah Palin ad in 2011. Then a New York Times editorial claimed that maps circulated by Sarah Palin's PAC amounted to "political incitement," which the authors said was clearly linked to the subsequent 2011 shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz. Then the liberal loony toon left got out their soapboxes and stretching liberal logic to its utmost claimed the GOP was inciting gunman to shoot Democrats. Of course, it was a ridiculous notion, but if the left wants to hyperbole every imagined slight, then they should be held to the same standard of decency that they demand of the right. Being an incompetent stooge of a journalist should not get you fired, buy lying to cover up your stupidity should. While some reports claim "He deleted the tweet quickly." We are going to assume that like any normal human being, the moment you discovered your stupidity such as tweeting out a picture of President Trump with a green crosshairs overlay you would delete it immediately, as well as issue an apology at the same time. Chris Cillizza didn't tweet his "we deleted" tweet till 2:16 pm a full 6-hours after tweeting out his "Trump In The Crosshairs" tweet at 8:15 am. That is not what I would call "quickly."  
Tumblr media
CNN then issued the following statement: “Chris has already addressed this issue publicly. The image in question is a framing mark used in film and video production to frame a shot. Nothing more. A producer who created the motion graphic inadvertently left that frame in the GIF.  When it came to our attention, the tweet containing the GIF was deleted and replaced with explanation. There is nothing more to say.” Excuse Me I Have Something To Say Not one person from a kid tweeting out a picture from his little league game to the President of the United States tweeting about a Rose Garden press conference, would not look at the picture he is tweeting before hitting the send button. In 99.99999% of these tweets, since Twitter only makes a small thumbnail available when you attach something to your tweet, you would certainly look at the tweet after it's posted as well. Chris Cillizza wrote that tweet. Chris Cillizza attached the photo to the tweet. Chris Cillizza sent out that tweet from HIS account. So while CNN and Chris Cillizza can claim some tech guy screwed up all they want, that tweet was written by, attached a picture to, and sent by only one person, Chris Cillizza. Therefore Chris Cillizza wrote his "Donald Trump, pointing to the heavens..." comment. Then searched his computer for the picture to attach to his tweet, saw the thumbnail of the picture, saw it had a green crosshair overlay over the Trump picture and Chris Cillizza still hit the send button.
Tumblr media
Chris Cillizza could not have possibly noticed something wrong with the picture on numerous occasions. Unless someone has "Extra Large Thumbnails" chosen on their computer, which then Chris Cillizza would have easily spotted the tech mistake in creating his graphic. Most computers settings show only a small thumbnail when searching for graphics. I included a screenshot of what Chris Cillizza would have seen when searching for his computer for the Trump photo to attach to his tweet. He would, of course, know what it looked like beforehand, and while it would have been similar in color and style to the Nicki Haley thumbnail. It would therefore have been impossible to have chosen a green rectangular blob unless you were actually looking for a green rectangular blob. Even if Chris Cillizza was stupid enough to not look at the picture when choosing his tweet attachment, say instead his computer only showed file names. Then how could he have possibly missed the Green rectangular picture in the twitter thumbnail preview? Then, of course, he missed it again after hitting send and instantly the tweet with the full-size image of President Trump with a green crosshair overlay would have appeared. That makes at least three absolutely credible chances for Chris Cillizza to have seen that CNN tech mistake, but somehow against all odds he missed every single opportunity? As usual with CNN their excuses don't hold up to the facts... But then again we are talking about CNN where facts don't matter. Either CNN created a fraudulent excuse, or Chris Cillizza knew exactly what he was doing and then lied to CNN. No matter which someone needs to be held accountable at "Facts First" CNN.

A short conversation
Canon-Divergent. Kane tries to help Bellamy and Clarke along. 
The first time Kane had seen Octavia had been in the Earth Skills class, she had been the last one to walk through the door, so hesitant, so unsure of herself.
Since landing on Earth, she had grown into a brave, fierce woman. A true warrior.
So, when he hears her cry out in terror, he finds himself racing across Ton DC, darting around the grounders in his way, towards the large bonfire and nearly colliding with her as she scrambles backwards.
He puts his hands on her shoulders and positions her behind him, looking for the source of the threat and only finding Lincoln.
Who was laughing.
And holding a baby.
“I have never seen you move that fast,” he cries, his shoulders shaking as he bends over slightly, both hands holding the child against his chest,
“Not even when your life depended on it.”
Octavia is shorter than Kane, so she can’t speak over his shoulder but she makes no move from behind his back,
“At least I don’t endanger the lives of children.” she shouts and Kane has no idea what is going on.
He looks to the others sitting around the bonfire and sees the Trikru are amused and the Skai-kru confused.
“Every member of the clan is expected to care for our young,” Lincoln explains,
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
Sound and interesting wisdom, Kane wonders if he could ask Indra about this but he can’t see her right now and the baby in question is beginning to fret.
“Here,” Bellamy says, standing up and making his way around the bonfire to Lincoln’s side, “Give her to me.”
Lincoln clearly hesitates and Bellamy looks offended,
“Come on,” he protests, “Who do you think raised O?”
Lincoln raises an eyebrow, “Are you trying to convince me or threaten me?”
“It’s either him or me,” Octavia calls from behind Kane’s back, “And only one of us has actively tried to keep kids alive.”
Lincoln sighs but holds out the baby as she utters a weak cry and Bellamy picks her up with a confidence that Kane would not feel, he cradles her in his arms and the baby snuffles before turning her head to his chest and settling down.
Bellamy smirks and sits back down on the log, leaning back slightly as Jasper and Monty on either side began looking at the baby.
“Don’t poke her,” he warns Jasper, just as the young man’s index finger approached the baby’s cheek, “She’s not a toy.”
“She looks squishy,” he coos, his finger being captured and squeezed, “And soft.”
Kane feels a push on his back and looks over his shoulder to see Octavia’s hands flat against his jacket,
“Are you using me as a human shield?” he asks, fighting the urge to laugh and she glares at him,
“You wanted to be part of the family?” she challenges, “That means protecting us.”
Her voice is deliberately low so that she won’t be overheard, but the physical closeness between the two of them isn’t missed by watching eyes.
Bellamy had been the first of the siblings to be emotionally open with Kane and physical affection soon followed. Light touches on the shoulder or arm when either one was leaving the camp and anything deeper was reserved for when the young man was injured in some manner.
Roughly every third day.
Octavia had been more hesitant, more resisting and shying away whenever Kane reached for her. Now, however, she was walking them both to the bonfire, and settling herself down as far away from the baby as possible, glaring at her brother,
“She comes anywhere near me, I’m going to defend myself.” She warns and Bellamy tilts his head back in amusement,
“Octavia Blake, killer of giant lake slugs, second to Indra kom Trikru, terrified of an infant who can’t lift her own head yet.”
“Oh, as if I’m not the entire reason you aren’t scared of babies.” She replies and the two of them share a look unknown to the rest of Skai-kru,
“Yeah you are.” He admits and then shifts away from Jasper who had begun reaching for the baby’s cheek again.
The call goes up that riders are approaching and Kane starts to climb to his feet, in unison with Octavia and a few of those around the campfire on watch that night.
“Hod op!” The watchman calls down, “It’s Wanheda.”
Striding towards the gate as it opens, Kane catches a glimpse of Clarke’s distinctive blonde hair as she canters through on a horse, pulling up and dismantling with a clumsy drop.
He reads exhaustion in every line of her body as she tugs down the hood of her cloak and he reaches for her backpack before she can pick it up,
“Hey,” she greets, past a yawn, “We’re still at peace.”
He grins, “Good,” he murmurs, “You did well.”
He jerks his head, leading her towards the fire and as they approach he sees the bags under her eyes, “Have you eaten?”
She nods, “There was a feast, I could barely get on the horse.”
What he was about to say next was cut off by the sound of Bellamy laughing and they look over to see him smiling.
Kane had never seen him smile like this, with clear eyes and teeth showing, real happiness visible there.
And beside him, Clarke drew a ragged breath.
Kane allowed her a moment before facing her, but was still rendered momentarily speechless by the sheer longing in her expression.
So tender and heartfelt.
He thinks that she’s simply unable to hide her feelings but when she catches his eye and gives him a quick embarrassed smile, he realises that she trusts him enough to let him read her emotions.
For her sake, he would pretend that there was still a soul left in Arkadia, Ton DC or Polis who wasn’t aware how deeply Bellamy and Clarke cared for each other.
It was the worst kept secret Kane had ever encountered.
Still, Clarke was a young woman, so he reached out and touched her arm,
“We can discuss politics in the morning,” he murmurs encouragingly, “Go sit down.”
She bites her cheek but he’s guiding her as gently as he can without making it obvious and they’ve barely taken three steps before Bellamy stands and ambles over to them.
“You’re back.” he offers as greeting and Clarke nods, the two of them both running their eyes over the other, looking for injury before they resume conversation,
“We at war?” he asks and she shakes her head, “No, how’s the winter preparations going?”
“No,” Kane interrupts, “It’s late, we can plan tomorrow, you two need rest.”
Bellamy gives him a bewildered glance, “We’re fine.”
Kane raises his eyebrows, wondering how these two could be so inept.
Perhaps his own inability to flirt was contagious?
“Clarke is falling asleep on her feet and you just handed an innocent, defenseless child to Jasper Jordan and Monty Green,” Kane points out,
“Neither of you are in any state to be working right now.”
Bellamy’s eyes widen with horror and he looks over his shoulder to see that Lincoln was hovering nervously as Monty clutched the baby and Jasper leaned towards it, opening and closing his mouth with a snap of his teeth.
“We should probably…” Clarke begins as they two of them hurry over, moving in sync as Bellamy rescued the baby from the boys who cleared a space so she could sit down.
Not that the space provided stopped her from sitting so close to Bellamy that they were practically joined from the shoulder down to their boots.
Kane crossed his arms and watched Bellamy as Clarke held her hands out to the fire, shuddering and staring into the flames as she warmed up. His expression mirrored the one she had worn on her face barely a minute or two beforehand.
How could two people care about each other so much and not act on it?
How could they resist?
Octavia joins him, shifting so she could follow his line of sight and snorts,  
“Yeah, they’re idiots,” she speaks as if having guessed his question,
“It’s never going to happen at this rate.”
He hums in agreement, “Lincoln and I have watch.” she tells him, and he nods,
“Be careful.” He murmurs, absently, as she stalks off.
As trusted allies, Skai-kru are allowed to sleep inside the walls of Ton DC, and Kane is given a place in Indra’s hut, a bed next to hers, which was the greatest show of faith that he could ask for.
He knew that Octavia and Lincoln were bedding down with Nyko, Clarke was in the healing hut, on call if anyone needed medical attention, and the rest of his people had been quartered wherever there was room. Still, as they were mostly young and drunk, he does a round to make sure they were actually sleeping and not causing trouble.
He also wanted the chance to speak with Bellamy.
The young man was outside the walls, asleep in the rover, by choice as he preferred to sleep alone if he wasn’t on duty.
When Kane approaches, he sees the back of the vehicle lit up by one of the lamps and Bellamy is lying down but holding a book.
He doesn’t open the trunk, instead opening the back door and leaning in over the seat,
“What are you reading?” he asks curiously, and the young man holds up the cover for him to see.
“I didn’t know we had that.” Kane comments as he reads the title.
“We didn’t,” Bellamy replies, “Clarke found it in the tower in Polis and lifted it when no-one was looking.”
Kane smirks, trying to imagine Abby’s daughter committing theft and finding it all too easy.
For previously law-abiding members of Alpha station, the Griffin women had a talent for criminality that would have impressed the black marketeers of the Ark.
He hesitates, having come to Bellamy with a purpose but finding himself suddenly uncertain. The young man looks relaxed, unguarded in that moment which was so rare for him.
“I…uh…” Kane clears his throat, scratching his eyebrow with his thumbnail,
“I wanted to speak to you about…Clarke.”
Bellamy frowns slightly, a hint of a smile on his lips, “Abby send you?”
No.
“Has she sent interrogators to you before?” Kane asks, only half-joking as he shifts into the seat, resting his arm along the back as Bellamy shifts onto his elbows,
“Not yet,” he answers, tilting his head, “But I’ve been wondering which of you would come first.”
Kane raises his eyebrows, “You’ve been expecting this?”
Bellamy nods, “For a while now.”
Right. Kane inhales and prepares himself,
“I couldn’t help but notice the way you two were watching each other tonight,” he begins, keeping his voice soft and supportive, “Have you considered telling her how you feel?”
Bellamy ducks his head, hiding his amused smile,
“She knows,” he says, “She’s always known, it’s not like I’ve bothered hiding it.”
The ease with which he gave this revelation impressed Kane, showing an emotional maturity beyond what he expected from someone so young, in spite of everything they had faced together.
“And you know she feels the same?” Kane prompts, and Bellamy sighs, lying back down with his arms behind his head,
“I do, but I also know she’s afraid.”  
“Clarke has lost everyone she’s ever loved,” he explains, “She’s afraid to lose me too.”
“Loving you won’t increase or decrease the risk that you could die down here.” Kane points out, and he only shrugs, “If I have to wait for her while she works her way through that fear, then I’ll wait.”
He spoke with such ease and such faith. He was willing to be patient for the woman he loved, something very few would be.
Kane reached over and gripped his knee, “You’re a good man, Bellamy,” he tells him, “You deserve to be happy.”
Because Clarke had fallen asleep by the time Kane reached her, he had put off talking to her about her feelings for Bellamy.
And of course, the next morning, they were distracted.
A band of scavengers attacked the rover, trying to steal it which was pointless considering there were only five people on Earth who could drive stick shift properly and the only one in a twenty-mile radius was injured when they dragged him from the vehicle.
Tri-kru warriors and Skai-kru soldiers came to his aid but not before Bellamy took a blow to the head that left him lying dazed on the ground.
The one who had dealt the blow wound up with a bullet in the thigh.
“Kane!” Bellamy called for him and he was at his side, helping him to stand,
“I’ve got you son,” he swore, as the young man turned his head frantically, “They’re gone.”
“I can’t see,” Bellamy shouted, “I’m blind.”
Clarke was a whirlwind of energy as Kane and Lincoln carried Bellamy into the healer’s hut.
She showed them where to sit him down and took his hand, squeezing it and ordering Lincoln about so quickly that Octavia had to help as well.
“Okay,” she sighed, as she shone the light in his eyes, “Temporary blindness caused by your concussion, you’ll be fine in ten minutes.”
Her tone was one of complete relief and Kane sees the tension drain from Bellamy’s shoulders.
There was no place in this world for a blind man.
Kane kept guard as the scavenger was brought in and Clarke clenched her jaw but carried the medical kit over and examined the wound, glaring at him when he flinched away from her.
“It didn’t pierce anything vital,” she reports, uncapping a bottle of moonshine and pouring it over the man’s flesh, causing him to screech in pain, “I’ll stitch it up.”
The man lost consciousness as Lincoln and Octavia took up watch over him, letting Kane follow Clarke from the hut to the small herb garden where she was wiping fiercely at her eyes. He puts his hands on her shoulders, rubbing them gently and she managed a weak laugh,
“I wanted to kill him,” she muttered, “I haven’t even kissed Bellamy yet and I want to kill anyone that hurts him.”
He doesn’t know why he’s surprised that Clarke was admitting her feelings to him, but perhaps hearing Bellamy’s testimony of her fear made him expect denials.
Kane supposes that this is a sign of her trust in him.
“The desire to keep him safe, that protectiveness, it’s not going to go away, whether you act on your feelings or not.”
She gives him a shaky nod, sniffing sharply, “I…there’s no going back, if we…I think we’ll be forever.”
There was no such thing as forever.
Not on this merciless Earth, but the belief in it was almost as important.
Gently, Kane turns her to face him and gives her a comforting smile,
“What you and Bellamy have…it is so rare Clarke, that level of trust is such a wonderful foundation to build upon and seeing the two of you when you’re caught up in each other…” he breaks off grinning, “It reaffirms one’s faith in love.”
Clarke laughs quietly, “But no pressure.”
Impulsively, he kisses her forehead, “No pressure.”
That night, he does his best to pretend not to notice when they’re all sitting by the bonfire and Clarke shyly takes Bellamy’s hand, their fingers interlocking together easily and they continue staring into the flames but Kane is sure that this was the start of something new for them.

k, i havent seen endgame,  gonna make a prediction game for thwne i Do See it. i’ve seen trailers and various gifsets with people nodding & some of my friends and family (really only a small handful of people who actually care to watch the MCU...) might be pissed off that i’ve seen spoilers but. idgaf. i wont have a chance to see it probs but it’s ok, cuz predicting stuff for fun is much less stressful than. idk. watching a bunch of stressful stuff with no catharsis whatsoever. if i get more than 5 points or ideas right..... i’ll convince my mom to watch it with me? i’ll watch it alone? anyway, this’ll just be fun to compare once i do see the movie.
trailers: * before the / spoilers: * after the / theorizing: / or //, /// if they’re sub-topics
so without further ado.
*//*so based on having the shot from the trailer where tony is almost dying, but like, thor and rocket raccoon are later hangin out, i’m gonna posit that maybe. i dunno, tony almost dies but.... someone saves him beforehand? i dont even remember if nebula was alive but i’m guessing she might do that, if she was like, not poofed. or could be thor and rocket. that ship sorta looked vaguely guardians’y? but could also be that the scene takes place in the middle of the movie and it’s a different kind of rescue scene. anyway; *//*it’s been 5 years. tony gets back a little before that and discovers: oh, pepper had a kid and i wasn’t there for either of them while lost in space. queue about a year where tony and pepper raise their kid together finally and the rest of the remaining avengers just sorta. loiter around and deal with their own issues.
//* so what is up with brainy-hulk. cool, must be something happened w banner’s psyche and that’s why he’s in the carseat now. OR... that last hit on the head really ...snapped him out of something else and he’s been dealing with the loss his own  way. OR. he’s just been seeing a good shrink. //* nat goes looking for clint and finds him in japan slaughtering... who knows who.... being an assassin we’ve seen clips of him hanging with his kids, doing archery tho so could be that either something happens to them sans-snap or just.... that archery scene seems too calm to take place in the start of the movie so i’m guessing ///** it could also be at the end, before a funeral, OR, right after tony has returned to be with HIS family... creating a sort of silent dad-parallel between them //*it’s a 5 year anniversary of the snap and it’s treated like any large disaster, except on a larger world scale and. more seriously than climate change obviously cuz it just happened so suddenly. ///** avengers hanging out at the HQ for remembering the fallen, being generally sullen, but especially cap and thor. thor’s lost his whole realm, his family and even valkryie is off who knows where. steve has been closing himself off and probably blames himself as much as thor for what’s happened? maybe he spins around in a chair all forlorn and nat mentions how he’s been  ///** ant man appears before the avengers HQ door and presents positive news. //* captain marvel shows up! “I like this one” ///**they have sandwiches. thor makes breakfast subs together (this one is 100% trailer+spoiler, i’ll give you that. just amazingly hard to avoid spoilers when thumbnails start popping up) ///** the others tell him abt the snap and the 5 year gap and he speeds off to check on his own family, sees that Cassie has been fine during that 5 year snap, her mom and stepdad possibly not so much. she thinks his dad was a snap-victim too, now she’s relieved to see him alive and well. this whole appearance of ant man brings them sudden hope, even if he did come from a totally different place
//i thought that maybe thanos’ snap was accidentally more of a rabbits foot than his literal meaning, that it could have been a “transported into another dimension by accident” sort of thing, since we saw ant man return with news from his subdimensional trip... ... but weve seen from infiniwar that he can pretty much do whatever he wants with it so the dusting of peeps was most likely as literal as we saw
*oh, and with ant man giving them hope, the rest of the peeps at HQ who saw him and cap marvel, feel slightly more hopeful? maybe?? anyways, this might actually be where the scenes with nat searching/seeking and re-recruiting clint go. 
*somehow steve Convices Tony. like no kidding, this i wanna see. leave his family and his miraculous return behind? to go save.... what now????
*anyway, tony’s always had a conscience and decides to join the others despite personal reservations. maybe he sees something that the others dont, a solution, a nwe piece, a new angle... he’s going with them and that’s the Space Suits Scene
*so with the new info presented from ant man and/or cap marv, the avengers build a fancier space craft, suit up, go to space.... and find thanos.
*there’s some hardships on the way and there’s only a few of them at thanos’ lil farm + hut.
*thor beheads thanos. some vindication, but also, callback. cool, i’m glad they could put this in for thor cuz otherwise it’d just feel a bit weird. dude kinda killed his whole posse and the rest of his family after all. Timeline 1 sorta ends.
//* they can’t use the glove cuz just. no one else is massive enough for it and they could instantly die???
so idk, i guess they use just some of the stones to execute a plan with the stones separated to decrease risk of death.maybe carol can help them with that somehow.
*there could be more than 3 snaps. possibly
*professor hulk uses the glove! they go back in time Timeline 2 starts.
//*i still don’t get the point of that nazi-steve scene but. maybe it’s like a “oh, i’ll slip right through this crowd of mercenaries without even a sweat and i’ll get to solving a much bigger problem much faster” kinda misdirection deal? steven has grown and learned to be a lot less confrontational or at least a lot more sneaky, so maybe being in another timeline he just sees a change //*steve goes downstairs in the shield/hydra base and. hides maybe one of the infinity stones. Decides later to
//*Tony’s funeral. Final timeline continues.
anyway, i could be wrong for most of this, i marked stuff that’s spoiilers and stuff that’s just me theourizing is without markings.
