#the complete 180 this show did oh my god
gay-jesus-probably · 10 months

Let me just preface this by saying everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, TOTK is a really fun game, and I'm glad that other people have been able to enjoy the story as well.
...But I'm being dead serious with my complaints about the narrative being 100% imperialist propaganda. And I'm getting really tired of people replying to those posts by saying it can't be imperialist propaganda, because imperialism is bad and the game says that Hyrule is the good guys.
Like, guys. That's not the argument you think it is. Yes, I am aware that the game tells us Ganondorf is a flat, one dimensional character with no ambitions, interests or motivations beyond destroying the entire world for the hell of it, and also it's totally not racist because he's green, not brown like literally every other member of his race. Unfortunately literally all of these things are kind of the entire goddamn problem.
See, the thing is, everyone trying to make these arguments is accepting the game at face value. Hyrule is the perfect and almighty nation chosen by the demigod Zonai, and whose royal family has the right to rule due to their divine heritage. The other races exist to serve the glory of Hyrule, and they're happy to do it. Ganondorf is pure evil and must be stopped at any costs.
But that's not how anything works. The story informing me that Hyrule is the ultimate good that has done nothing wrong is the whole goddamn reason why I don't trust Hyrule at all. There's always more of a reason than that. And the game fucking suggests there was more going on! Ganondorf mentions Rauru has repeatedly 'invited' the Gerudo to become Rauru's subjects, and let's be clear here, it doesn't matter how peaceful those 'invitations' were, when the guy who owns every single magical nuclear missile in the world repeatedly demands you surrender to him, there's always going to be an implied threat of 'do it or get magically nuked'. Just that power difference alone shows us exactly why Ganon would feel threatened enough to invade. It's because Rauru was holding a gun to his head, and Ganon was expected to just trust that he'd never pull the trigger.
And yes, even if it wasn't intentional Hyrule was always threatening to wipe out the other nations, considering the entire royal family walked around openly wearing their magical nukes as cute accessories. If they couldn't be safely hidden away, there wouldn't be four other secret stones sitting untouched in a vault until the last second.
But that's never acknowledged. Of course Hyrule is the only nation with the right to the secret stones; even if other races get to touch them, they can only have them if they swear eternal blind loyalty and servitude to the glory of King Rauru and Princess Zelda. Ganon wanting to have one magical nuclear bomb out of a stockpile of eight of them is proof that he's dangerous and evil. I mean my god, what if he just walked around all day wearing a magical nuke and using its power for his own benefit, that would be terrifying. It's only okay when Hylian royalty does it.
And you can't argue that Ganon betrayed his own people, considering we don't get to know fucking anything about his relationship with his people. He's shows as the leader of the Gerudo, we're told he's a hero to his people, he has soldiers that loyally follow him into battle... and then oh nevermind, they all hate him and will spend eternity trying to atone for sharing a race with him. How did the entire race do a complete 180 in the span of at most a few months? Who cares, what's important is that now they accept they exist to serve Hyrule so they get to be the good guys now and we don't need to know why they were following Ganondorf, or why they stopped following him.
Basically my point is that yeah, I fucking know how the game insists everything went down. That's the entire reason I think it's imperialist propaganda, because the entire story feels like Hylian propaganda to conceal and justify some horrific atrocities that caused all of this. I literally do not believe that I'm getting the story through reliable narrators, especially considering that the only people allowed to actually tell me the story are all the characters that have the most reasons to be heavily biased in favour of Hyrule.
When the game shows me protagonists that have a massive amount of power and control over the entire world, then says the bad guy doesn't like that system just because he's evil, and literally nothing and nobody in the game says anything to oppose that take, I have some questions about what the fuck the story isn't telling me. And I'd really appreciate it if people would stop trying to argue with me just by telling me to stop asking those questions.

hello I love your writing!!! Gets me hot n bothered, man, OOF!!! This is my first ever ask so consider yourself blessed muahahaha!! but here’s a thought…either price or ghost…I feel like they’d be so…manipulative maybe?? When they fuck?? Like the whole time they’re fucking you they’re rough, degrading, just absolutely primal and punishing you. But the second you’re completely fucked out and in a haze they’re nothing but kindness. Kisses all over you, smoothing their hands on your trembling and exhausted body, calling you a pretty girl, praises left and right like “you did so good for me” and just…complete 180 in their demeanor!!! Does that make sense?!?! You get me?!?! Ahhhh?!?!!!
I feel blessed to be your first ask as your my first ask I’ve received yet. so thank you!!! So sorry this took me ages to write
I Adore this idea so much, I really see price when I think of this so that is what I went for
“That’s right. Take it”
Prices rough voice grumbles in your ear. Tingling all over your skin. Skin that was littered in marks of his ownership. Hickeys, bruises, bite marks. Anything he could think of to show you that you were his. He wanted your skin to serve as a reminder of that, that you were forever his.
His thrusts were merciless. Exactly how you liked it. Your body jolting each time his skin slapped against your, it was rough and animalistic. And that how you knew you had pissed him off.
“Stupid slut, you thought you could just come in here, dressed like that and expect no consequences? huh?” he questions you, voice low and gravelly, punctuated by each drag of his hips “You knew i was busy, fuckin tease” He growls at you.
Every nerve ending in you body is on fire, you mind so melted you’re struggling to comprehend the words he saying to you. All you can do is whimper and whine, occasionally muttering out his name.
Your juices soaking both you thighs and his as he fucks into you, your puffy pussy all pink and abused, you clit swollen from all the orgasms he gave you already.
He hand you face down ass up, your bed sheets slightly damp with tears, drool and sweat. The sheets absorbing the sound of your screams.
"what's that sweetheart? Is the slut so cockdrunk she can't even speak?" he chuckles out. He knows you can hardly concentrate on what he's saying, let alone answer a question, but he can't help but tease.
When Price got like this he was absolutely ruthless, you were his to do with as he pleased. He could fuck you however he liked and you would lucky to take it.
His huge hands holding onto you hips, using you to get the perfect pace, slamming you into him. He wanted you to feel how impossibly deep he was, he wanted you to remember him when you felt the dull ache tomorrow. The idea of you squirming at the feeling just made him want to fuck you harder.
And all you could do was just take it.
every thrust, every slap on the ass, every bite, every hickey, every name he called you. You wanted it all.
And the fact that you were so willing to take it from him was what made it that much better. Watching you back arch, and the way your hands gripped the sheets so tightly between those delicate little fingers, the whites of you knuckles showing. The fact that all you could mutter was his name, despite him being the one setting the punishing pace. He could feel he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, not with those gorgeous little cries you would let out.
"such a fucking slut." God his voice sent shivers down your spine.
"oh fuck." You couldn't help but moan out, your whole body practically shaking with pleasure, you weren't sure of how many time you had cum now, the pleasure being constant.
"you fucking love that don't you?" John rumbles, you only response being the nodding on you head.
The way you were practically pulling him back in, not wanting him to leave you empty had his hips stuttering. He had held himself off for as long as he could, pumping his seed deep inside you. His thrusts finally coming to a stop as he finally fills you. His chest rumbling with a deep groan, the release he had been craving finally washing over him as he empties himself into you.
Chest heaving, he gently pulls out of you, kissing your back as you shiver as the empty feeling. Your exhausted body automatically curling yourself up into the sheets, brain still on autopilot as all you can register is the gentle padding of your boyfriends feet around the room.
Your eyelids flutter as you are on the rink of sleep before snapping open at the sensation of price wrapping his arms around you and dragging you of your warm bed.
You can only will yourself to groan at the disruption causing john to chuckle slightly. Your head resting on his chest as he now carries you somewhere.
"sorry sweetheart, i know you tired, lets just get you cleaned up first."
Oh, he ran you a bath you register. How sweet.
He sets you down gently, helping you into the bath before climbing in himself. He pulls you into him so that your back is resting against his chest, placing his head next to your had he kisses your hair.
You eyes fluttering shut once more, this was heaven. The warm water gently washing away the night activities.
"You did so well for me sweetheart, my good girl." he whispers in you ear "You always do so well for me, my love."
Gentle kisses are places on your head, face and neck as he whispers to you, a contast to the hunger of earlier. This was different, this was perfect.
"I wasn't to rough was I?" His question laced with worry, pulling you into reality. Your hand grasps his under the water as you thumb strokes his hand.
"John, you were perfect"

@akai-anna You have made a mistake
SPOILERS FOR MOVIE 9 below the cut (TW: Depression like oh my god severe depression, suicidal tendencies)
Tumblr media
So it's no secret I'm a Kogoro Enjoyer tm, to the point that it's probably more shocking that Movie 9 isn't my #1 pick, and my favorite movie involves Kogoro asleep for 60% of the runtime. BUT it gets the #2 spot on the strength of one scene, which is my favorite moment in any DetCo movie and possibly even the series as a whole.
The moment (which is probably like 20 minutes I'm corralling all into one 'scene') is all of Kogoro's deduction scene and the ensuing fight, basically right up until the point where they have to save Rachel. (The Rachel stuff being where most of my frustrations with Movie 9 are.)
Here's the thing about DetCo: If you're watching Movie 9, you're probably into the series pretty deep, right? You're trained to disregard Kogoro unless you get extremely clear signs otherwise. He's comic relief, he's always wrong, his theories are always wrong. Period. Unless Conan is literally spoonfeeding him clues, or the show goes out of its way to show he's being serious this time, anything he thinks up on his own is completely wrong. The movierunners know this and play into it-- In an earlier scene, Kogoro goes up on stage like always and completely botches a deduction in front of a crowd. He has no evidence and gets called out on it instantly, at which point Conan (via Agasa) steps in and calls out the real culprit, who confesses and the Action Part of the movie begins. Business as usual.
And then the movie proceeds to completely and entirely subvert that.
It's my favorite scene because of just how well the show hid its cards, which your mileage may vary on. Kogoro isn't front and center on the movie poster, but he isn't shoved in the background either, and I did get some inklings beforehand that this movie might have Kogoro playing a more prominent role when he seemed to be acting strange. (I say this is my favorite single scene, but the whole movie does build up to it well with subtle clues.) But during that botched deduction scene, I disregarded all of it-- I've been burned before by this show, thinking they were building to Kogoro doing something cool, only for it to be played for laughs. They fake the audience out by playing exactly to expectations, so Kogoro coming out of NOWHERE to reveal that he was right all along and literally left the botched deduction to go search the culprit's room for evidence and sabotage her murder weapon HAD ME SCREAMING.
Literally all of Kogoro's skills come to fruition here in this scene. He knows enough about guns to sabotage a harpoon gun, knows (almost) exactly what happened for all the crimes at this point, knows how to fight and subdue a criminal (we'll get to that) and is devoted enough to justice and Being A Detective to see this case through to the very end. This should be a crowning moment of triumph, and what's the soundtrack doing?
It's solemn and sad, because where is Kogoro is giving this deduction? On a sinking ship, after he forfeited his spot on the lifeboat, believing that Conan and Ran have already made it out. He gives this deduction alone, with no one but himself and the culprit. He acted like he would arrest the culprit, but... where would he take her? What was his escape plan?
He didn't have one, did he?
The culprit mentions that it's pointless for him to explain her crime to her considering the circumstances, and Kogoro outright says he can't help himself. He knows it's pointless. He was prepared to give his life here, just to stop her plan.
And you know what? That's tragic. The fact that he's willing to die here, for this, leaving behind Ran and Conan, is heartbreaking to watch. The tone of this 'real' deduction scene is a complete 180 from the botched one, because Kogoro isn't playing anything up. He's just calmly explaining the crime because that's what detectives do. That's what detectives live for.
I'm not done, though. There's still the part where the culprit decides her final act is going to be to kick his ass for this stunt. I think it's pretty clear from everything Kogoro says that he's throwing this fight, if not on-purpose then on a subconscious level. Like, Kogoro doesn't really fight for himself, does he? He fights when someone who murdered his friend is attacking his other friends, he fights when Ran and Conan's safety is at risk. He fights for other people, so when it's only himself at stake (and he was already prepared to die, that's why he's here at all), what's the point?
Conan calling out to him snapped him into gear because suddenly it wasn't about him. Suddenly there was someone else to protect.
I haven't mentioned Conan but the fact that Conan is 'present' for this entire scene is great to me too. He got to hear this entire thing, help Kogoro out when he fumbled one detail in his deduction, and even seemed proud by the end. It's so sweet to see Conan proud of Kogoro for once. It's sweet to see just how good Kogoro can be when he really cares, and how good of a team these two could be.
I'm glad we got at least one movie dedicated to that idea.

When they get a tooth removed – Drugged AF HC’s
Note - Your genshin man just had to get his tooth removed. Drugged and out of his mind, he shows a side of him that you have never seen before.
Characters - Venti, Kaeya, Diluc, Zhongli, Albedo, Childe, Xiao, Itto, Thoma, Ayato, Gorou, Kazuha
Warnings- Drugged state, inappropriate language, fluff, slight smut
Part 1:  (Venti, Kaeya, Diluc) x f! reader
VENTI
Tumblr media
You were used to Venti being drunk. He was annoying and talkative when he drank too much, slurring his songs and talking about the old days.
But his drugged state was a complete 180 of who he was. He was awfully quiet, avoiding making eye contact with you.
"Venti, baby what's wrong?" You caress his face, worried about him.
"I don't deserve your love, (y/n). I am a liar." He pouts like a child. "I have a secret identity. I am the god of Anemo, I am Barbatos."
If it weren't for him being stupid as fuck right now, your heart would have melted at the expression he was making at that moment. He looked like a child caught red-handed.
"You idiot! You already told me that a long time ago!" You facepalmed.
"So, you're not mad?"
"No, I am not mad." You kiss him on his cheek.
"Okay....okay.... (y/n) ... can I get some cake in that case?" He closes his eyes slowly relaxing and leaning against you.
"Of course. What cake do you want? I will go to the city and get some?" You look at him resting on your shoulder. "Venti...? Venti...????"
You hear his soft snores and smile. He had fallen asleep while the two of you sat on the sofa.
KAEYA
Tumblr media
"KAEYA! Stop dragging me!! You should be resting, why are we going to Angel Share???" You ask the stumbling man who was pulling you by your hand.
"I want a - I want a drink." His speech slurred.
"You shouldn't be drinking right now." You exclaim as you enter the tavern. Diluc, who was behind the counter raises an eyebrow at the two of you.
"Diiiiiiluccccc, my man!!!" Kaeya rushes towards him.
"Tch. Are you already drunk?" Diluc narrows his eyes at his sworn brother.
"Um. Pardon him. He just had his teeth removed and is under the influence of some numbing medicine that the sisters have given him." You apologize to Diluc.
"Yuh. Heh. Diloooooook I want a tall-stiff- stwooong glass of gwa-gwape juice." Kaeya slams his fist on the table.
"What!?" Diluc and you respond in unison.
"Gwaaape.... juice... you know, your ... your favorite." He grins sheepishly.
"You don't even like grape juice." You shake your head.
"Nu-uh... I like it but I don't like it because he likes it" He points at Diluc. "He likes juice but does not like me." Kaeya frowns.
"Whatever they gave him made him loose the limited braincells that he had." Diluc shakes his head and pours Kaeya a glass of grape juice.
You look at your drugged boyfriend and giggle as he coos words of appreciation to his glass of juice. You were not going to let him forget this.
DILUC
Tumblr media
Who knew that the stoic, composed, quiet Master Diluc who never even held your hand in public would turn out to be a PDA machine when he was drugged? You certainly did not. As you support him to walk to the carriage that was supposed to take the two of you to the winery, he plants sloppy kisses on your cheek and neck.
“(Y/n), you’re so beautiful, so enchanting. What did I ever do to get such a breathtaking woman in my life?” He bites into the soft flesh at the nape of your neck.
“Ow – Diluc. What has gotten into you?” You try to pull away from him.
“You’re intoxicating, woman. I cannot get enough of you.” He pulls you closer to him.
“Di-luc!!” You try to get off his grip. “People are watching.”
“Good. Now they’ll back off from wooing you.” He bites your ear.
“Oh my god, you horndog. We need to get into the carriage.” You push him a bit. He wobbles and you grab him by the jacket.
“No! We need to go to the tavern and celebrate your beauty.” He tugs on your top. “We can get some hot chocolate…”
“I’ll make you some hot chocolate at home, let’s go now, Pleaseeee.” You pull him.
“With soft marshmallows?” He grins mischievously.
“Yes. With Marshmallows.” You shake your head, exasperated by this version of him.  The two of you climb into the carriage and you close the door.
“Now that we’re alone….” His hands grab your breasts, groping them obscenely. You hold back a moan. “I am going to have these marshmallows before my hot chocolate.” He squeezes them as you smack him on the head.

ok 1 ur desktop theme is GORG and 2 i need (if u wanna) ur thoughts about the show (or show sally in gen bc ur the only one i trust with her)
thank you!! i was actually thinking about updating it but maybe i wont 🤭🤭 and i have a lot of thoughts about the show except none only very few of them are good and i will be crucified by the 13-year-olds
im going to tell you anyway.
i will start with something i like....percy being angry. like yes give me the anger of a 12 year old who feels utterly alone in the world and doesn't understand (or does and it makes him more angry)
the fight scenes are dog shit. the only kind of cool one was in the arch but it was only cool because of percy doing the bait and switch and falling through the arch...the fights are bland boring sucky whatever other synonym you wanna use
uhhhhh sally jackson is not and would never be sitting in the rain pining of the god she told to leave....and especially not to teen pop...if she WERE going to act like a 16 year old and do the pining thing it would be to fucking like...billy joel and ricky martin and donny hathaway and stuff llike that okay...
i will preface this by saying that yes i understand that talking back to an abuser the way sally does in ep 1 doesn't make the abuse less abusive....however i DO not like the fact that that scene explicitly goes against sally characterization in the books....i am not digging my book out atm but the part where percy is like "my mother has never raised her voice or said an unkind word to anyone"....me thinks the writers all read the books 10 years ago and are going off of memory alone + or their brains are so clouded by the obsessive Big Screen Need to make women a badass girlboss slay queen i fucking hate it here
LET ANNABETH BE SILLY AND FUNNY AND CUTE AND CRY AND NOT BE AN ADULT THANK YOU....hated that they made annabeth the one to realize that it was medusa and not grover...give me back grover having to wrangle percy and annabeth into backpack leashes just to keep them on task/stop them from wandering off...book trio i miss you
i absolutely ADORE leah, walker, and aryan though the three of them are so so perfect, A+ casting no notes couldn't have done it better myself. if it weren't for the three of them i would have zero hope for the show i cannot lie...they're carrying. without them it's just..bad.
the pacing???? bad.
why did we waste half of the 4th ep on the train with echidna...stupid dumb pointless i hate it here
i do like the whole not all monsters are monsters and the gods aren't inherently good just because they're gods thing they've got going on though...very inch resting...silently hoping that they do a complete 180 and have percy side with luke and redo the series from there because that would be iconic as fuck <3 a girl can dream because at least then i could take the show at face value and not take 80 health damage every time they mess up a key part of the books...im at -29834 heath rn.
where was the time at chb before the quest??? the oh so important vital scene where luke teaches percy to sword fight???? like BRO that's soooooooooooo important to ME how could you get rid of that
not having annabeth show percy around camp
additionally, not having annabeth feed him the nectar and ambrosia, WHICH BY THE WAY they haven't even mentioned in the show yet...plot armor gone rip
not the fredrick chase sympathy while simultaniously blaming the woman...........rick when i get my hands on you...
annabeth having to EARN thalia's love??? absolutely not probably one of their biggest fuck ups fr.
the scene where sally is talking about Poseidon to percy...i do not like it sam i am. bad. not wistful enough not longing enough not sad enough not gut wrenching enough...also not completely here for sally telling percy that his dad was a god because....sallys whole thing was NOT telling him in order to keep him safe...i know they changed it in the show so sally knew he was going to camp immediately but that does not mean i have to like it
the scene with sally and percy in the pool. i hated everything about that. sally would never talk to percy like that never talk to him about money never make it seem embarassing NOT TO MENTION that percy simply wasn't scared of the water. that's stupid as fuck. theres a part in the book where percy literally says being by the water calms both him and his mom like...come the fuck on just admit you can't fucking read or at least didn't read the book.
sally annabeth get behind me so they cant hurt you anymore
i did loveeeee percy praying to sally though...absoutely insane and true of them. also the "I AM SALLY JACKSON'S SON" yesss baby you tell them about your mommy!!!!!!
them making athena moa level bad in tlt is quite interesting. setting up annabeth siding with percy pretty well.
also the whole impertinence thing over medusa's head was weird to me. when annabeth first said that i had immediately thought that annabeth's impertinence was telling percy to pray to poseidon IN ATHENA'S TEMPLE bc that made much more sense to me...but whatever
the annabeth/medusa parallel is intriguing at the very least
the underwater scene with the neraid was cool even though i hated the parallel to the pool scene w/ sally.
the dumbass pinecone fate line. 0/10 did you read the book? did you pay attention to how empathetic and reflective percy was when he found out about thalia?
honestly....i think disney was just the wrong place to go with this show because it's like what...pg? it should be pg 13 and should have more... sustenance.
this medusa was so cool though. which we could've seen a fight.
i need to know how many women are in the writer's room though...because It Does Not Look Good. funny how the characters that they're fucking up are all women....crazy. weird. totally coincidental.
are we just not going to talk about the vitality and pressure of getting the bolt back on time? where is the inherent inevitable danger, the suspense, the fear of not accomplishing a seemingly impossible talk looming over everything
this is 10000% not all of my thoughts but im not going to rewatch in order to collect them all so this is what you get xoxox

loki season 2 episode 4 spoilers
hm timeslipping is in the recap. i wonder if this means it’s gonna happen this episode
ohhhhhh they need kang’s temporal aura to unlock the thingy, i completely missed that last time
OMINOUS WHISPERS??
YOOO THAT WAS A COOL OPENING
hold up hold up so was “for all time. always” ravonna’s and kang’s i-love-you statement that kang made into the tva slogan or did the slogan come first
protocol 42 you say? 🤨
i wonder what they knew that made him want to erase their memories. was it just the knowledge of his existence or something specific?
ohoho ravonna is PISSED
“we don’t need him. maybe we never did” well miss minutes that was quite the 180 from last episode’s shenanigans 
victor is in the tva now!
…where is everyone
oh here’s b-15 nevermind 
and mobius and loki!
oh hey sylvie!
so it seems like the timeline screens have (at least) two different modes — one showing the branches in relation to the sacred timeline and one showing how the branches are fitting into the loom
hmm not sure if i would trust that general lady either (the one who bombed the timeline, not talking about the one on our side)
this is far from the point but. aww casey’s and ouroboros’ little arm brush!!
YOOO VICTOR AND OUROBOROS BOTH LEARNED FROM EACH OTHER
victor please be better than kang bc a friendship between casey and ouroboros and him would be so cute and i’m starting to get attached to him
AWWWW THEY ARE BOTH SUCH NERDS
“when SOMEONE killed he-who-remains” CRYINGG
awwwwwwwww ouroboros’ little smile when mobius complimented him!!
skdhskdh sylvie’s face she’s so done with mobius and loki squabbling
AWWWWW OB’S SMILE WHEN VICTOR SHOOK HIS HAND!!
uh oh extremely orange prison
not relevant but the actor for brad is doing his holding-his-collar pose! continuity
welp i guess we’re in the pie room now
oh dear loki’s talking about sacred timeline stuff. let’s see if the writers actually got the details right this time
oh so there were branches that survived the bombing. i thought the screen had shown that all of them had been bombed
“we are gods.” why was the camera so far away for that line. that’s. kinda odd
a time door? in MY overly orange prison cell?!
ravonna is baaaack
oooohhhh that’s a deal i bet many of them won’t refuse
woah woah. why are they refusing it. when did that happen
oh so NOW they’re portraying the shrinking cubes as being as horrific as they are, but when mobius and loki do it, it’s just a silly goofy time
MISS MINUTE’S EXPRESSION I????
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT THE SOUND EFFECTS? GOD
i’m guessing this slots ravonna firmly into the evil zone
ayyy it’s the comfort nerd trio! please comfort me i’ve been traumatized by that last scene
i bet victor has an idea about fixing the loom inspired by the coco machine
heyyyyy b-15, welcome to the horrors, here’s some humor-as-a-coping-mechanism for your welcoming gift! (b-15’s actor did a amazing job there)
victor? what are you doing buddy
BRAD NO WHY DID YOU DO THAT
BRAD GO PRUNE RAVONNA INSTEAD
OH NO VICTOR
i'm screaming?? mobius how did you even access unauthorized games from the tva
OH SHIT THE TEMPADS AREN’T WORKING?!?
WHERE IS LOKI AND SYLVIE IN ALL OF THIS ARE THEY OK
there they are!! they’re ok
uh ohh
helpppp victor’s face when he sees ravonna and miss minutes
HOLY CANNOLI THAT’S A LOT OF TIMELINES. IT’S SO GLOWY
and that’s when sylvie enters the elevator!!
RUN LOKI RUN
wait wait is that the loki from ep 1 who’s running around? i think it is
OHH HERE’S JACKET LOKI. YEP I WAS RIGHT
ANSWER THE PHONE LOKI
SCREAMING IT WAS OUROBOROS THIS WHOLE TIME
WOOO THEY’RE GONNA HAVE MAGIC
miss minutes just died. well. that was terrifying
🎶 who’s in the hallway with bradley 🎶 
OOHOHO IT’S LOKI
AND SYLVIEEEEEE
GOODBYE RAVONNA
the windows have opened!
oh no no no no nooo victor don’t sacrifice yourself please
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sobs and cries on the floor. why. why
OH SHIT IT’S EXPLODING. QUICK EVERYBODY PRUNE YOURSELVES SO YOU CAN END UP IN THE FIELD WORLD
WHAT WHAT YOU CAN’T DO THAT YOU CAN’T END THE EPISODE LIKE THIS 
AAAHHH THE END CREDITS MUSIC IS SO UNSETTLING
WHAT YOU CAN’T END THIS WITHOUT AN END CREDIT SCENE EITHER ARE YOU SERIOUS GIVE US AN END CREDIT SCENE

Bakugo's Apology Analysis :-
(but it's actually just me crying over my dearest bois and their dynamics)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I love Izuku's blatant show of emotional vulnerability throughout the series. yeah he's a crybaby/nerd/impulsive martyr but for someone who's been relentlessly bullied for so many years he is ridiculously open about his feelings and I admire him so much for it
"I am scared for you, for everyone and what risking everything could do to me, so I will stay away even if it costs me my smile, even if it drains me of all life"
Like hello?? this boy is so exhausted, halfway to death's door and fighting off an actual army of frenemies and still, still cannot bring himself to close his heart, the worst he can think to say is "you can't keep up" and apologises for that too. he doesn't even think to push them away like he should and I *ugly sobs*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The apology *manic cackles*
Ohh the relief. the satisfaction. the completion of a circle literally years in the making.
and Izuku's reaction is just the icing on the cake. I was genuinely worried they might downplay this scene after the whole OP fiasco (Bokurano by Eve is a banger btw) but Bones did not disSAPOINT
look at them. look at Katsuki. head bowed, face-to-face in front of everyone, openly admitting to the horrible things he said, things he did to Izuku in the softest voice we've ever heard from him, running to catch him in the rain and not once asking for forgiveness, only that Izuku come home with him, with them all
"I have done terrible things to you, the kind not easily forgiven, so I do not ask. but you are dear to me and I cannot lose you, even if I am lost to you. so come with us, come back, I will hold your shaking hands and broken body in the hailing rain like a testament and save to win as you win to save"
did anyone else notice this?
when Izuku goes vigilante he's so focused on defeating All For One he completely switches from 'save to win' to 'win to save'. ofc he's doing it to protect everyone but that's not the objective anymore, it's the result.
whereas Katsuki is so fixated on bringing Izuku's overworked dumbass back he doesn't even think about AFO let alone defeating him. his defining moral also does a 180 & becomes 'save to win' instead like ASBHSDHSJDKFS DO YOU GUYS SEE WHAT I MEAN IS THE BRAIN BRAINING TO MY BKDKS??!
In summary, I have lost my leftover sanity, 3 boxes of tissues and so much comfort food y'all oh my god-
to this scene. this one moment in a(surprisingly large) list of bkdk being soulmates, platonic or otherwise ಥ_ಥ
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, have a good day/night, drink some water and fix your goddamn spine you banana shaped fucks<3<3

Rewatching Beyond Evil and I’m taking (somewhat) unserious notes! Enjoy my brain worms.
Episode 1 || Next Episode
Ooooo dead body
Mad to think that when I first saw Jihoon’s actor he was playing a bully. This is a complete 180 and he does both roles well.
Intense middle aged running with intense music
(Spongebob style) Flashback~
Ah a church. You will never catch me there
The song they’re singing is oddly fitting to the theme of the show sans the whole God thing
We don’t stan Dongsik slander in this household.
Lee Dohyun <3
The signs in this flashback. The shot of the guitar pick, Kang Jinmuk being seen a lot but in the background, Bang Juseon being rude to Dongsik, Dongsik telling Yuyeon to leave at night (aka he had “motive”) etc
Lee twins crumbs I love it.
The cold filter when Dongsiks mum finds yuyeons fingertips nice touch
The title being “(to) Appear" mwah nice
Love the shots of how everything is “worse”when we transition to Dongsik now
Oct 11 2020 remember that me
HERE HE IS ITS JUWON
Dongsik saying stop in english <3
Pls the dramatic slow mo 🤣
Dongsik is a true justice/law upholder. Never letting things slide if its wrong. He and juwon are alike in that sense.
“Many a mickle makes a muckle” netflix what does that mean???? Like i get it but ive never heard that saying in my life
Everyone turns to see Juwon par Dongsik… that is until he speaks.
Juwon judging people and things right off the bat. Bro is not amused.
Technically Juwon is higher rank than Dongsik because Dongsik is assistant inspector and Juwon is flat out inspector
Dongsik immediately knew something was up as soon as he heard who Juwon’s dad is.
Juwon’s first impression of Dongsik is that he is intelligent and follows the law like rulebook when dealing with people (ofc he also thinks he is a murderer and should avoid someone like him and has already decided he hates his guts)
The tension starts as soon as Juwon drives past Dongsik. They immediately are making notes on each other
YOO JAEYI MY GIRLBOSS BELOVED. She is so much more clever than people give her credit for.
Jeongje and Dongsik being best friends…
OH JIHWA ^^
I love the manyang crew interactions.
“He’s not my type” not now… but he will be. you have no idea whats coming for you, Dongsik
Ew Hna Kihwan
I love these dinner scenes with Juwon. They so clearly reflect him and his attitude at the time as well as his relationship with his dad as well as how they change over the show.
아버지 and not 아빠 really emphasises the father-son relationship they have (or lack thereof)
Their first interaction and they already dont like each other.
Everyone sucking up to Juwon and trying to work with him and hes like yeah… no. Y’all are weird.
THEN GETS OFFENDED WHEN DONGSIK SAYS HE DOESNT WANNA WORK WITH HIM LMAOO
so hes like… two can play at this game bitch and calls Dongsik a nutjob.
Their reaction when Sangbae pairs them up is top tier
Juwons inner thoughts: “Day one… fuck my life”
Dongsik started teasing Juwon off the bat
They both have a super impressive memory wtf
“There are no secrets in this town. You are always being watched by someone.”
Dongsik nags Juwon about his aggressive driving and immediately drives aggressively because he can
Ah the reed field…
Juwon traipsing through the mud was me last week when I had to walk home (our area flooded)
We dont give the score for this show enough credit its so good like
“Why did you just stand there when a gust of wind was coming? You’ll learn once it slaps you in the face.” Metaphorrrrrrr
Juwon is already accusing Dongsik like 40mins into the ep like damn
Fresh out the shower dongsik is so yes.
Juwon in that white jumped is also a yes.
Mate respectfully I don’t think you got how relationships work. “People at my school or in my hometown want to be my friends by showing me unwanted kindness or attention. But at get-togethers they all talk about what I have or my connections. They gossip and laugh about it. In the end they all come to me for favours.” Dongsik is right in asking “Is it that simple?” Because it isn’t. (I will make a full post about this omg)
“What could you possibly have that makes you think you are the most important person in the universe?” THE MEANINGS OMG
Man gets so offended when people are like you have mysophobia then ends up roped into a get together.
Juwon trying to text a fake excuse to get out of the get together is so me because I have done that (its the anxiety for me)
Juwon is so awkward bless him.
“You’re supposed to stay glued to your partner all day, and know the colour of his underpants.” Dw Jihoon Juwon will learn ;)
Everyone clapping for Jinmuk and calling him the most important guy in manyang…
Juwon not liking his dad being brought up and Dongsik joking about it to diffuse the situation and also poke at Juwon
All important scenes happen when it rains.
Juwon quickly learns to not believe what dongsik says half the time XD
“I don’t want you to like me.” “It’s up to me to like someone or not.”
“Leave before you get caught.” What interesting phrasing Dongsik
Ah yes the Juwon and Hyeok brother dynamic. I find it interesting and think its an underrated Juwon relationship.
Hyeok trying be Han Kihwans son and Juwon is like “dont. Trust me.”
We mention Dongsiks wall of notes and stuff on the Yuyeon etc case but we dont talk about Juwons enough. Mf has two. Two fricken boards. One he makes in his closet (?) above his computer and the other next to his bed.
The! Score! Ugh im a lover
It takes a whole day to get to the reed field this time??? Cause he arrived in the morning (i assume) at the police station and then the sun is set by the time he gets there. I think he may have procrastinated bc of the mud or he actually arrived in the afternoon and the sun sets ridiculously early in late october?
Juwon getting jumpscared by Dongsik again XD
I love how this episode brings us full loop to the start of the episode but includes Juwon the second time to add fresh perspective and the aftermath.
Juwon’s step back and shaky hand is a give away that he knows her and Dongsik immediately picks up on it. Yet Dongsik tells Jihoon to leave knowing this must be a secret.
And Juwon doesn’t miss a beat when Dongsik says its a woman. They’re both one upping each other all the time
We give Juwon shit for constantly grabbing juwons collar/shirt but Dongsik did it first! (And it was hot because he smooths out Juwons shirt after) Juwon just copied and repeated.
And Dongsik quickly realises why Juwon is in Manyang and decides to just play with him and be a little shit.
Mate you guys are at the first ep and already in each other’s faces
Ok fin see you next episode ^^

Now, normally, I wouldn't show you guys photos taken from my phone of my laptop cus thee quality turns out bad but..
Tumblr media
JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.
This is the last chapter of "I trusted you with such a small yet big thing (and look where that got me)" and OH MY GOD. DAMN. I wasn't expecting THIS much. Like I knew it would be a lot, but not 10-FUCKING-THOUSAND.
AND THIS IS UNEDITED. I STILL HAVE TO EDIT. DAMN. I'M SCARED OF MYSELF.
It's not that it's 10k words. I started writing this LAST NIGHT. It's been 23 hours since I started. I've been writing for like, 10 hours AT LEAST.
Completely ignored my draft for the ending, did a compete 180⁰ turn and said YOLO. I'm happy with how it turned out, though.
Edit: ok so I split it into two chapters yayy thanks puniyo for recommending me to do that <3 Edited the two chapters and now, combined, it's actually 10k, not rounded or anything.
I'm really tired but the writing grind never stops 💪
Jk I'm going to take a break for like an hour or two, maybe have a nap, and start working on the angel AU, and then the torture fic. Im pacing myself, though, guys dw. We now have a deadline, too. I want to get these chapters out by the time I get back, so i have 24 days. Might as well get those Christmas advent calenders.
Tw math up ahead
So, let's put this discussion in a theoretical sense. I have 24 days, which is 24² hours (576 hours). If I write at the rate of roughly 1000 words per hour, and that too if I'm focused without distraction, I can write 576x10³ words. But i need to sleep, eat, and go to school.
SO
Hours in a day avaliable = 24-6-6-2 = 10 hours
10 hours × 24 = Total amount of time available = 240
240×10³ = Total amount of words I can write
If I maximise my time and spend it on NOTHING ELSE other than writing, I can write a novel worth like, one fifth of the Bible. Cool. Sorry guys I needed to do a little math to escape from too much literature.
BUT, guess which bitch has an art and geo assignment, and a science test next week 😝 (its me. I'm that bitch.) So we're gonna be a bit more busy.
God I love stress
No i dont

hi! hope you're having a good day :) idk if you still write for it but could you do a romantic yosuke hanamura/reader where reader convinces him to watch a scary movie with them? poor boy is scared SHITLESS but tries to put on a cool and brave front, ultimately giving up and cuddling with reader on the couch (maybe a hint of making out too if you feel like it lol)
┃A …Successful(?) Movie Night
₊˚⊹♡Yosuke Hanamura x gn reader
₊˚⊹♡‎wc: 748~
₊˚⊹♡warnings: fluff <33
₊˚⊹♡notes: Yooo Anon I do still write for Yosuke! Thanks for requesting~ Also, your request inspired another Yosuke fic so I thank you for that lol. Check it out here if you’re interested ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
₊˚⊹♡Main Masterlist
“Megan, Scream, or IT?” You ask.
His face contorts into something akin to disgust. “Can’t we watch something not.. horror related?” He begs inquiries. 
“What? You scared?” Your knowing smirk matches the confidence in your tone, since you know Yosuke won’t back down from a challenge.
“No! Let’s watch Scream. That ghost face face dude isn’t all that scary anyway!” Yosuke retorts, with his arms crossed across his chest in defiance.
“Alright then.” You triumphantly do a little cheer before you load up the movie. Yosuke makes his way over to you, sitting beside you on the couch. He doesn’t protest, but his bouncing leg betrays his calm demeanor.
Once the movie is loaded you sit beside him, and he’s quick to close any distance between the two of you. His leg continues to bounce, a bit more frantically now, as the movie begins.
You eye him worriedly, thinking maybe this isn’t the best idea after all. Before you can suggest a different movie his leg suddenly stops bouncing and you feel a weight drape over your shoulder.
You turn your head to see Yosuke’s arm draped across your shoulders, and a goofy smile makes itself apparent on your lips.
Maybe you were worried over nothing? He seems alright now, surely things will be fine.
☆⋆。𖦹°‧★
“Oh my god oh my god no look oUT- AHHH!” Yosuke’s booming shout startles you more than the scene playing before you, and soon both of his arms are draped over you as he practically jumps in your lap.
You can’t help but snicker at the complete 180 this man’s attitude has done. Over the past half hour, he appeared to be unfazed and even enjoying the movie, a small smile on his lips as he watched the movie beside you.
Lo and behold, once the first “scary” moment occurred Yosuke’s facade crumbled to bits.
“Name, this is too much! Did you see the way he brutally- oh mY GOD!” Yosuke buries his face into the crook of your neck as loud shouts can be heard from the TV.
You tear your eyes away from the TV to look at Yosuke. His fluffy hair all but obscures your vision anyway, and a quiet sigh of resignation escapes your lips.
You gaze at his trembling form with the fondness and adoration of a lovesick fool.
You wordlessly change the movie, putting on some random trending show on Netflix instead of continuing the movie.
Yosuke takes awhile to notice, still trembling in your arms, so you wrap said arms around him and rest your head on top of his.
It isn’t long before your movie night transforms into a cuddle session.
Yosuke’s blissful sigh reaches your ears, and his body relaxes. Your fingers gently card through his fluffy head; his hair feels like the soft touch of a cloud against your fingertips.
“You okay now?” You can’t help but tease him. “Oh, shut up.” His grumbled reply only serves to make you smile.
He finally removes his face from your shoulder, and your heart lurches when his eyes immediately search for yours. “Sorry if I ruined our movie night..” Yosuke’s sheepish apology, coupled with his forlorn expression, elicits a coo out of you. 
He’s so cute.
“You didn’t ruin anything Yosuke. Sorry, next time I’ll pick a movie I’m sure we can both enjoy.” His eyes widen in surprise at your thoughtful words. His mouth parts to reply, but your lips capture his before any sound can escape.
He’s startled, yet he wastes no time in returning your sweet kiss. Your eyes close as your fingers find purchase in his soft brown locks. You feel his arms wrap around you, pulling you into him as you share a pleasant kiss.
You pull back, but his lips are on yours once more.
Oh, how you adore the way his lips curl up against yours in a small smile.
You feel pure bliss and tranquility as you bask in Yosuke’s warm embrace. When you two part once again, Yosuke’s lips press against your nose, your cheek, and your forehead before they gravitate towards your mouth yet again.
Your body melts against his, and his arms gingerly cradle you against him. A monet passes before his lips regrettably leave yours, although your lungs thank you for the opportunity to breathe.
“If this is how all of our movie nights will go, we should do this more often.” His cheeky suggestion earns him another kiss to his inviting lips.

Hi!! What are your season 3 thoughts?? And most importantly, what are your Jiara related season 3 thoughts? :D
alksjdfhlaskdfj i have. so many thoughts. i've never ever written something short so uhhhhh.....stick with me, lmao.
first, non-jiara thoughts:
cleope was SO cute!!! i wanted to wait for the writing to convince me on them as a ship because I really wanted something more than "these two aren't with any one so lets put them together" for cleo and pope and I've been completely convinced. They both bring out a different side to each other and the way Pope opens his family and his home to her is just alkdjfhlksajdfhlkajsdhf it's unbearably sweet. i love her interactions with the heywards and i love how instantly she fits in. the scene when he leaves her in his room and she does a tiny dance and then falls back on his bed and says "thanks, pope"..... yeah i think i was cosigning on that ship as soon as I saw that asdklfjhaskdfl. and the scene in 3x06 where she stops him from shooting rafe and he cries in her arms.... oh my god. it single handedly saved that episode for me. AND THEIR KISS???? oh my god.
i also LOVED Cleo's friendship with JJ. When they are on a mission together, they are right there with each other. and, speaking of friendships, I loved that we got more JJ & John B, best friends since third grade content. the fact that they physically started fighting... idk, I think it just made them feel even more like brothers to me.
i also just really loved some of the (for lack of a better term) girlboss moments this season. there are SO many moments that i was loudly cheering for my girls. Cleo having the only brain cell like 180% of the time when Kiara is kidnapped. Kiara betraying rafe and stealing that boat (i was fully cheering ala kiara during the cliff jump scene like that is my GIRL) (also madison bailey the woman that you ARE the way she never even a little bit played into the r*ara of it all. any time Rafe looked or spoke to or was in the general vicinity of Kiara, she looked SO uncomfortable and I love that for me). and I really REALLY loved Sarah manipulating Topper lmao "you're such a giver" "it's just how i was raised" KLAJDHLAKSJDH
and, actually, I think the inculsion of topper in the heist was super funny and exactly the type of shit i want to see from him (if wheezie had been there to give him shit, it would have basically been any fic i've ever written with topper in it). when topper is being used purely for comedy, he's kind of a genius character - Austin North can deliver those bat shit Topper lines really well, and the rest of the characters (particularly Kiara) react SO well to him. he's so easy to make fun of!!! but then.... having Sarah go back to topper again was uhhhh not it. I think they should have kept the s2 or the s3 stopper storyline in, but not both. sarah going back to something that reminds her of a time when her life was easier while shit is absolutely hitting the fan and she has nothing else is like, very much in character, and that's what happened both times. the fact that they didn't show her growing through that in this season, but instead regressing..... idk, i'm excited to see a Sarah with more growth. also, canon comedic topper is dead to me forever after burning down the chateau so, i guess that's a loss on both fronts (i can't talk anymore about the chateau burning down but i have a lot of feelings about it).
i really hated big john. i'm so sorry, but looking back, John B should have left that man in the fucking bell tower. I think the amount of screentime he took is my biggest gripe of the season (i did a scrub of the show for just jiara scenes after my first watch and the amount of times i had to scroll by that man.... my god). and not only did he take up a shit ton of screentime, he kept John B away from the pogues - both physically and emotionally - for most of the season (the lack of goofy happy pogues moments is my second biggest gripe with the season). If you've read pltc, you know that I had a lot of thoughts about Big John and his relationship with the pogues but...... when he died (actually, this time), it was only dry eyes here lmao. I feel bad for John B, obviously, but everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) Big John did this season was so shitty for John B, I can only say that i think John B is better off without him.
i think the thing that has me the most conflicted is the 18 month time jump. narratively, it makes so much sense - and logistically, aging up the characters as the cast ages makes a lot of sense. i don't love that we'll miss alot of jiara and cleope but I'm coming around to the thought of it all by opening ao3 and waiting for those time jump fics to pour in. @ josh pate if season 4 opens with JJ slamming Kie against a wall as they're making out i'll forgive literally everything, i'm so easy to please.
i guess this is the perfect transition to the jiara of it all. the first few episodes literally bodied me. every interaction on Poguelandia bodied me - the way they were living their poguelandia/surf trip dream, the "just like we talked about", the angsty silent conversations they were having when they saw the plane. kiara getting kidnapped hit - I think the way JJ was so focused on getting her back was so perfect, the dock hug was actual literal perfection. I am a Hug Girl first and foremost and oh my GOD?
the first almost kiss floored me. i did not expect it. the transition from their dumbass little jokes to almost kissing.......... i'm gonna die. i literally fell off my couch. I think Pope being the one to break it up was inevitable, as was their conversation. idk how i feel about it, i know pope was always going to have opinions on jiara and i'm glad it wasn't super salty but.... i'm gonna need to rewatch it a few times i think.
episode 4 absolutely ended me. those conversations and the way Kiara knows JJ and the way JJ was imploding.... absolutely insane. the framing of that episode (like the actual cinematography not the writing lmao) was not my favorite, but the content was SO good. it was everything i wanted I was losing my mind. JJ telling Kiara she's a kook HURT. Kiara knowing that he's lashing out cause he's scared made me yodel. the talk in the chateau's yard about truces immediately followed by another almost almost kiss made me want to scream into a pillow. 10s all around.
I also love Heist Jiara. I loved seeing JJ at the carrera's house for the conversation about the cross, and the way he's a little bit like a caged animal around Mike is perfect!!! Him self destructing by stealing the money clip is just literally JJ 101. Jiara bike ride to Kilby Girl is now my entire personality!!!!!!!! also the fight about the money clip - that's not really about the money clip at all - followed immediately by JJ almost dying and Kiara being like "don't you ever do that again" is just aksldjfhkasjdfhlkjasdhlfkjasd i could YODEL.
the gate fight absolutely took me by suprise. the "i love you dude" was not what i was expecting AT ALL. JJ's buffering reaction and the way he's trying to downplay it was 10298/10. the hurt in kiara's face made me want to cry, and then John B fucking everything up feels... well, a little inevitable. I also love that even in their angstiest, jiara is still together, and in episode 8, they are sitting on the couch and kiara's playing the ukuele LIKE. they are best friends. they are so important to each other. nothing is ever going to change that. I also love love love the part where he's like "i'll tell you on the plane." idk it makes me feel buzzy.
episode 9 is a literal fucking feast. the feral jj, the way he KNOWS something is up when she doesn't show up, the way he drops everything and then ends up in kahoots with Barricuda Mike to get her back. "I kind of got a date" ????!?!?!?!??!!!!! then the whole thing about Marley the cat (josh I KNOW you are on the ao3 tag just drop me the username please) and Kiara immediately knowing it was him as soon as she heard "blond". the "me?". the KISS. the giggly happy in love couple that they are!!!!! i do wish the kiss had better lighting for my giffer friends but i know we're gonna get the brightest kiss in the world in s4 to make up for it (pates make it happen!!!). and i think my favorite scene of the entire season is them being so happy and giggly on the plane and the high five into a handhold alkdjsfhlkasjdfhlksadf.
episode 10 is obviously a drop off lmao. it sucks to leave the season on that note but we did get the "it's an adventure baby" and little background moments. I'm happy the pates didn't write themselves into a corner too much this season, and in a lot of ways I'm really glad that jiara is open ended because that means there's a lower chance of unnessecary bullshit being thrown our way really early on into s4. i would have liked a more definitive ep 10 moment but ultimately, espeically since we know we have s4, i'm not concerned in the slightest about it.
so, overall, i think there were parts of the season that felt slightly choppy (personally, I'm of the belief that they filmed a lot more than we saw), i think the first half was generally stronger than the second half, and I think i'm really, really fucking glad we have s4 confirmed so I don't have to stress about it even a little & we'll get to filming sooner. my sanity is hanging on by it's fingernails but it is in fact hanging on.
at the end of the day, i had the time of my life watching it and i had some really great people to share it with and I'll always be so unendingly grateful for that!!!!

ok so first things first, i loooove gatwa's doctor so much already. if nothing else, i love the masterclass in acting he's putting on, his expressiveness is so impressive. he brings a very fun energy to the role
the church on ruby road has me feeling a bit mixed as well. the plot was kind of meh, and i didn't like how in the alternate universe ruby's mum was just so mean without her. it didn't make sense. like what makes ruby so special, hm 🤨 what's this one white blond baby got that all the other babies in the world don't 🤨 i know the point was to show how much ruby meant to her mum, but like. there are other ways to do it than have a complete 180 in characterization.
i'm honestly not super interested in the mystery of ruby's parentage (which apparently seems like it will be a huge thing unless they're just making stuff up to fake us out, in which case, good on them). but i don't want it to be some big reveal i'm sorry 😩 especially not because if it is, people will bend over backwards to say how great storytelling it is when they'd never say that if moffat did a plot like this. i hadn't even considered the possibility really, when i'd first watched it, i thought it's just not that deep, but maybe i'm wrong. the people who are theorizing that ruby is rose and tentoo's daughter are sooo funny though like
ur only saying that because she's blond and we all know nobody on this show can be blond without being related to The Blond(tm) 🙄
that literally means they abandoned their kid. yes. such good parents 😫
i also feel like we didn't....really get to know ruby that well? i'll reserve judgement to give them more time obviously, and millie seems very green (not a judgement on her, and she and ncuti seem to have a lot of fun energy together) so there's still time and there's a lot of time in general for the stories to get going, and it had to do double duty as a christmas special and an intro episode for both new doctor and new companion so like, my feelings may also change with time. anyways those are my thots for now
yesss i was sold on gatwa very quickly i just hope he doesn't become 10th doctor rehash number 2345932853845 i am so tired. give him something new. also praying him and ruby don't have a romance angle there were a couple of moments in CORR i was like. GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AGAIN.
CORR plot being meh i agreeee but also xmas specials plot is a lot of times like a wafer and as someone who watched it quite roasted ngl i kinda appreciated it 😂
YEAH omhg tho with ruby disappearing and her mum (i want to say carla??) completely changing as a person??? i get that the point was supposed to be like one little change can make such an impact etc etc as well. but also i was just like. .... ok but what about the other kids wasnt good enuf ???? maybe i'm a cynic lol. but fr have another MORE kids on the wall bc she's trying to fill a gap she doesn't know is from what !!!! IMAGINE.... especially with it being sort of set up as a doctor/companions parallel oh my god
nooo oh my god i know what you mean about rubys parents i like that theyre setting it up as a counter to 13s "it doesn't matter i'm good as i am my past doesnt define me" etc. but i really want it to not be interesting. i want her parents to just be like. normal people who had to make a hard choice lol. oh my god. i just realised. we're gonna go thru a fucking rey star wars arc with her im gonna lose it byee... imagine she ends the series like "im ruby doctor" :) i would quit watching.
but yeah 100% it's gonna be a big thing. atm i dont care but i guess we'll see and hope they do something interesting with it.... prayers she's an alien tbf
rose and tentoo would be terrible parents tbf i said what i said.
YEAH i know what you mean i feel like that about gatwa too i think its hard making the first intro for both an xmas special because it has to be kinda silly and rompy so you cant rlly get too into the grit of the characters?? still reserving judgement on them both, but its taken me a while to warm up to like. everyone in dr who since bill--- wait i take that back i loved bel in flux from like her first scene but she's not a doc or companion.

Pen Pals Chapter Four: First Day
C suggested that I go and get some clothes for my first week of work so the Saturday after my Friday interview. The dressing rooms were still closed which was a pain, but I kept the receipts in case I didn't like it or it didn't fit. I gave him a video call and was met with a black screen, as usual, as I tried on the outfits for him.
"Wear the first pair of black pants you showed me and the pink top." He was referring to the black straight leg slacks and the baby pink silk blouse with a chiffon tie. "Go get those boxes I sent you." He ordered. When I returned home from shopping I had two packages waiting for me on my doorstep.
They were both in standard brown shipping boxes, but after opening them I was met with utter shock.
"Oh my god." My mouth hung open as I opened it. "C. You shouldn't have." I didn't even open it all the way, but seeing the orange Louis Vuitton made me realize what he had done. When I finally did open it I found a beautiful beige purse.
"Every girl needs a new statement piece on their first day of work." He said. "It's the Lockme Ever MM. If you don't like it you can exchange it."
"I love it. And I can wear the pearls you gave me for graduation." I beamed still looking at the purse.
"Open the other one." He said almost as excited as I was. When I did I found a similar bag, but in black. "That one, I believe, is the Lockme Ever BB." I looked down at my gifts and didn't even know I had started crying. "What's wrong?" He asked, concern in his voice. "Do you not like them."
"There so nice." I pouted and wiped my eyes. "I love them." I cradled the purses to my chest as if a child who had gotten the exact toy they wanted on Christmas Day. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
"Good. You're welcome, baby." He said. "I got to get some things done before the end of the day, but I look forward to our video chat tonight."
"Me too."
"I'll see you in a bit, Love." I blew him a kiss and the call disconnected.
Holy-fucking-shit. These purses had to at least be at least $3,000 a piece. He spent what he gives me in an allowance on two bags. Holy shit. I had always bought my purses at Target, but this was... This was probably the most expensive thing I've ever owned beside my degrees that hung on the wall, but I couldn't carry those into work.
It's so funny to think a couple of months ago I sat in an empty apartment with nothing but a bed, crying about my life and now things had did a complete 180. My life had drastically changed in the best way possible. And it was because of C.
Monday couldn't get here soon enough. I was so excited to start my first day. I stopped and got a cup of coffee for myself, Mr. Stark as well as Mr. Rogers. When I got there security on the first floor got my badge and security access taken care of. I was essentially allowed to most of the 93 floors in Stark Tower.
I was then instructed to go to the same floor where I met Pepper. I was expecting to find her, but only found an empty desk and a folder with a sticky note on top of it.
Sorry I couldn't be there on your first day, something came up. Here is a basic outline of everything you need to know. Tony won't be down until later. If you need any help here is my cell. -Pepper.
I looked through the folder which would have been better put into a binder considering the amount of paper she put into it. I had barely started reviewing the documents when Steve walked up to my desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Rogers." I greeted. "I had time this morning so I did a coffee run." I handed him a medium black coffee from the coffee shop near my apartment.
"Good morning," he replied taking the coffee from my hands. "And please, just call me Steve." He insisted.
"I'll try." I assured him. "I grew up in Georgia so not referring to someone as Mr., Mrs., Sir. or Ma'am is kind of habit I'll have to break."
"You have manners?" He raised an eyebrow. "A shame. Tony tries to keep this place with a sense of impoliteness in the air. Thank you for the coffee."
"No problem. I hope plain black is okay."
"Do I seem like a plain black kind of guy?" He questioned tilting his head.
"I can go get some creamer." I went to stand when he broke into a smile.
"No, I take it black. I still like to keep some things simple." His attention broke away from me at someone coming through the lobby front doors. "Bucky," He greeted. A brunette with eyes just as blue and beautiful as Steve's walked over to my desk. "This is Bucky Barnes, we go way back."
"Stark's new assistant?" He asked and I smiled and nodded in response. "How you liking it so far?"
"First day: can't complain." I said. "Everyone is so nice."
"Plus Stark isn't up yet so he hasn't had the chance to ruin her day." Steve rolled his eyes. "Well, we will let you get to work and we'll see you around. Since it's your first day, I think Tony wanted to take you to lunch. Bucky will come around noon if he hasn't come yet and maybe we can steal you away instead."
"Oh," I said surprised. "Perfect. I'll see y'all later." I smiled at them as they left.
A few hours passed and I made myself busy with the list of things Pepper left me to do. Mr. Stark left his workshop and finally came down around 12.
"I hope you haven't had lunch yet." He said. "And sorry I haven't been down yet, I'm tinkering with a few things upstairs."
"Oh, no problem." I reassured. "Pepper left a very detailed list of instructions. So far nothing exciting except a few packages."
"So instead of apartment numbers, the floor is where it will need to be dropped off. Sometimes Steve and Bucky will get things in the mail too."
"Mr. Rogers and Mr. Barnes?" I asked.
"They live in the tower too." He said. "Makes things easier when we are all close together. How does Shawarma sound for lunch?"
"I was actually thinking Italian." Steve's voice came out of nowhere. When did he get back on this floor? I needed to find the stairs here at some point.
With his back still turned, he rolled his eyes. "Always has to be in charge." He whispered. "Italian it is."
Lunch was pleasant to say the least, even with the minimal banter between Steve and Tony. It was more like a sibling rivalry than a old married couple. Bucky had come along as well, mostly remaining quiet.
I asked if they always acted like this. He responded that it was when they were both quiet that it was more uncomfortable. He asked if I wanted to really wanted to start and argument was to ask who was in charge of the Avengers.
I shook my head and Bucky smiled. "So are you new to the city?" He asked.
"Sort of." I shrugged as Tony and Steve carried on their separate conversation. "I came here a couple of months ago before Covid hit and haven't really gotten out of my apartment."
"That blows." He said. "No friends in the city?"
I made a grimaced face and shook my head. "Not really." I said glumly. "I was supposed to start teaching when I moved, but covid made everything complicated."
"What were you wanting to teach?"
"History, but I specialized in World War II." I said before taking a bite of my Caprese salad with pesto sauce. C said I looked thinner and should be making sure to eat enough healthy carbs.
What he didn't know wouldn't hurt me. Or him.
However the saying went.
"Funny how the world works." He smiled before motioning his head toward Steve. "You're having lunch with two WW2 relics." I covered my mouth making sure none of my food showed as I smiled.
Steve and Tony eventually ceased their bantering long enough to join back into the conversation. They had asked me why I had gotten into studying history so extensively and very little personal information. Tony discussed a new prototype he was working on.
"Similar to how whales use echo location, the same will be done with this tracking device. Planes, vehicles, military equipment, but also testing out the device on animals to see if we can eventually use it on people."
The notion made my stomach drop. Mr. Stark quickly reassured the apparent qualm I had. "For willing parties only, I assure you. There was a missing persons report that came up when Pepper and I were watching TV. Young girl, about your age, man was convicted of rape and murder, but her remains were never found. And Pepper and I are trying to a family and I just thought 'that family will never know what happened to their daughter'."
The sentiment moved me. "So I thought, why not make it another tool for police to use? Cell phones and things like that can be destroyed, but even if it couldn't save them, it could at least give their family some closure."
"And even with tracking endangered species. Maybe even aquatic animals."
The idea didn't seem all that revolutionary in my opinion. Surely tracking devices like that have been proposed before...
When I got back there was a bouquet of daises and sunflowers sitting on my desk. "Was Pepper expecting a floral delivery?" I asked Tony setting my purse down on my desk.
"Not that I know of." He said stepping into the elevator with Bucky and Steve. "Unless she has a secret admirer I don't know about." The door closed and I was left alone with the floral arrangement.
I plucked the card from the top reading. 'Have a great first day - C.'
Only problem was, I never told him where I worked. Only that I would be working as a secretary for a tech company and that was the extent of it. He had watched me.
I'm glad Tony and the others had went up to their floors and did not see how ghostly pale my face had turned.

Duffer Bros glorifying the abuser/bully is disgusting
I’ve noticed a disturbing troupe about the show that just disgusts me. The Duffer Bros constantly goes out of their way to try and make the abuser sympathetic.
Lonnie. Let’s start with Lonnie. As we know, Lonnie is abusive towards Joyce, WIll and Jonathan. The actor himself went out of his way to make Lonnie a vile scumbag. Now why am I listing him as a sympathetic person? Because before they decided to make Steve Harrington the best character of the series, Steve was supposed to fill the role of human villain. He was supposed to win the fight and beat Jonathan up and apparently SA Nancy(gross???) than originally it was supposed to be Lonnie who was gonna save Jonathan and Nancy from the Demogorgon. Thank fuck Joe Keery put a stop to that bullshit. Oh and I better not fucking see them try to make Lonnie sympathetic in season 5.
Troy. Troy was the asshole who bullied and harassed the party. Called Will homophobic slurs. And went as far as forcing Mike to jump off a cliff while holding Dustin with a knife.  We never see him again, so why list him? They made a comic attempting to make us feel sorry for the little asshole. No fuck you, I don’t care if he was the school’s whipping boy for El making him pee himself. I don’t give a shit that his friend turned on him and I don’t care about his parents have had enough of him. Fuck him, as far as I’m concerned he got what he deserved.
Brenner. The guy who is responsible for everything. Experimenting on children. Marking them as numbers, taking them away from their parents. Forcing them all to call him “papa” even forcing them to fight each other. For all I know Brener planned to continue to experiment on the children if he ever got his hands on Will Byers. And El FINALLY calls him for all his bullshit, he still continues to be an abusive bastard. And what happens. Sullivan shows up, he leaves with El and we get a forced goodbye asking El to understand what he did was for her own good. I literally screamed “AARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME” when I watched that scene. 
002. Fuck this guy. No, I don’t feel sorry that Henry killed him. He was a teenager bullying and attempting to kill a child because she humiliated him. Fuck him and he deserved to die. 
Billy. Abusive step-brother, tries to run over the party, racist, and tried to kill Lucas and Steve. So what do they do one season later? WOOBIFY HIM AND TRY TO MAKE US SYMPATHISE WITH HIM. I am glad he’s fucking dead. Fuck him. He was supposed to be the Henry Bowers of the show, the human villain and the most vile characters introduced. And instead on continuing that by making Billy a willing participant with the Mind Flayer(or really Vecna) they have Billy flayed and try to woobify him and act like the shit he did one season ago never fucking happened.  He did the bare minimum by saving El. Max’s sadness, while understandable, wasn’t earned. They had no meaningful relationship, all we got from season 2 is abuse, mutual hatred and the ending was a sign he was gonna leave her alone. There is no scene of them together to show they remotely started fresh or any sign that Max forgave him. It felt forced and unearned. It’s like if Stephen King tried to pull a complete 180 and tried to woobify Henry Bowers and sacrifice himself to stop Pennywise. Yeah, that would’ve been fucking stupid if that happened.
Angela. Oh my god, fuck this bitch. She has been making El’s life in California a living hell. All the girl wanted was a friend. Oh and this fucking bitch had the nerve to use Helen Keller as a presentation for what she did for disabled people when she acted cruelly towards El for being different. Oh and they have the nerve to present Angela as sad and sympathetic when she gets what she fucking deserves. I’m supposed to feel sorry for this bitch? They wanted El to feel like shit...FOR WHAT? They didn’t even use the EVIDENCE that El was provoked. It was right on fucking camera and they didn’t even do it.  And to top it off, Joyce couldn’t even pick up that El was being bullied at all. She knows Will has been bullied, yet Joyce couldn’t pick up on it or at the least tell that El was sad. Parent of the year.
Hopper. Long version, see post here. Everything Jim has done in the series is forgotten and swept under the rug. Selling El and the party to Brenner? Never brought up again, even when Brenner was alive in season 4. Treating El like a prisoner and threatening to send her back to Hawkins Lab? Never brought up again. Threating Mike so bad that he stays away from El in two episodes and he never tells El nor does Hopper ever fucking apologize? IT’S NEVER BROUGHT UP AGAIN. Everything sketchy Hopper does is never brought up again. Hopper has been glorified by the Duffers and the fandom and it really disgusts me that El took Hopper’s name. 
The Duffer Bros has this really disgusting troupe by making the most vile abusers and bullies sympathetic/woobifying them and it really disgusts me that they still keep fucking doing this. The only credit I will give them is they didn’t try this shit with Jason. Mason did everything to make Jason as hateable as fucking Joffrey. I haven’t hated a character like this since Joffrey, that’s how good Mason was. 
Jason does the following
Riled up an entire town against a minor and said town was like yeah, sure, fuck the police, we’ll just hunt him ourselves
Beat up Gareth and stepped on his fingers, threatening to break his fingers knowing he was a drummer
Saw his friend Patrick die under very weird supernatural circumstances and still thought Eddie had something to do with it 
Took his friends to buy guns and weapons to hunt Eddie
Aggressively tried to intimidate Nancy into telling him where mike and Mike’s friends were
Brutally beat up Lucas Sinclair, a highschool freshman, and almost killed him by shooting at him 
Had his friend assault Lucas’ sister, a middle school girl
Yet never once do they try to give Jason any sort of nuance or made us sympathize with him. “If Chrissy was in trouble, she would’ve came to me” Self-Centered much? If you couldn’t tell Chrissy was going through some problems, that should tell you everything you need to know.
Also as awful as Billy was, he never hid behind an excuse of “We’re doing the right thing” in order to indulge his psychopathic urges. Jason used the fact that he knew he was well-off enough to not get in serious trouble for it as an excuse to hunt down someone with the full intent of murdering them brutally.
Point is, aside from Jason. the Duffer Bros have this weird feitish of trying to make the abusers of the series sympathetic and it’s really gross.

Fr!! You know how many times I still struggle with starting fics? 90% of the time the beginning of my fics is one of the last scenes to be written or even thought of. Every author, no matter the experience, struggles with not knowing how to start things off! You're not going to know the full story right away. Scenes change, ideas are scrapped, new characters might appear, that’s part of the process. You just have to power through that initial struggle of starting the story. Can’t start the beginning then go to another scene. It doesn’t matter what order you write your scenes. Don’t let not knowing stop you. Writing is just like any other skill; time, effort, energy, love all of that is poured into it 
Ah, yes the ads. I feel like all the sites have ads these days….that’s why I love ao3 so much (all these free fics and no ads, truly a reader’s paradise). Always a smart idea to back up fics no matter where they live. I once saw someone lose everything because google locked them out of their account and wouldn't let them back in (I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, can’t imagine the pain of losing everything). I don't think anyone is brave enough to read a spicy fic out loud to another 💀 and if someone has then they truly have earned the title ‘god’s bravest soldier’
Oooooh, I’m always down for fic recs! Dish them out lol. Slay queen 💅🏼, be their worst nightmare and keep that ad blocker. Had a quick look around FF.net and wasn't expecting the layout (it looks so retro to me, no hate to the site or anyone who uses it I'm just shocked by the layout). You're gonna make me cry. From the sounds of it you guys had something really special and while I’m some rando online I’m glad you could share your passions with someone you cared deeply for. That’s always something to cherish in life 💝
😠😡😤 Going to the past rn to have some words with them jkjk. No, but seriously sorry you had to go through that. That sucks. No one should have to experience feeling insecure or like their interests don’t matter. It’s so disheartening to share something you love and have the other party disinterested. You can always read to me!!!! It’ll be like a little bedtime story; tuck me in, read to me until I fall asleep, the whole shebang lol. And that goes for anyone, really. I’m always down to listen to a fic. Whether it be your own or one you just enjoy. I’m happy to lend an ear and if for some reason that specific fic doesn’t work out (like not being in the same fandom) I’ll let you know. Gotta have that healthy communication ✨
I honestly didn't think of that….Now I have to think about it. All those people without accounts should have the chance to read without making an account. Oh, that's what that meant. I’m so dumb sometimes. I saw it and thought nothing of it. Silly me! Well, now I know. Thx!! Now I want to go back and check that box. The heart is honestly the cutest thing I’ve seen 🥺. Don’t worry, I’m the queen of not acknowledging what I don’t like lol. There has been so much in fandoms that are canon that I’m like, ‘nope didn’t happen’ (currently living in delulu but wdyd). Def gonna check that one out now
Noooooo, the agony!!!! Pray that you recover it 🙏🏼. Technical difficulties are truly a writer’s worst nightmare. 👀 another rec??? Your feeding me well today haha. The perils of sexual tension….does one let it snap or make it tauter…
Really?! That’s so bizarre. I mean, I did call myself out but the fact that you're rereading the series is 🤯. Great minds think alike 😉. Yeah,,,,, when they show the villains in the current timeline I’m always like ‘yeah, mc. The hate for them be real’ but when they show younger versions of them I do a complete 180°. Honestly a personal attack against me. If you wanted me to hate them, why did you make them so hot in their youth???? Please, I’m just a girl. Funny that you say that. I never was a Peeta fan. From the basic knowledge I have of hg, younger me liked/had a crush on Gale and I never understood why Katniss chose Peeta. Don’t know how I feel about him now but 🤷🏻‍♀️. Oooo, I’ll look forward to those references then 
No worries!! Life gets in the way sometimes and reading/responding takes time so I totally get it! Focus on yourself first and when you have free time respond second, I don’t mind being on the back burner 😝. I promise I’ll be here!!!  Have a great day, night, or whatever time it may be for you 🌄🌌🌅. Wish you the best 😊
Omg noooo. XD Starting fics! Aaaa- I feel that so much. There are times where that is what keeps me from actually writing them: coming up with a beginning. Mostly it's a jumbled mess of ideas and a couple of later scenes and no beginnings. It's just so hard sometimes! It's like,... Where to start? How far back do we take this? Where do we begin? And how? It's true! I can have an idea about where my story is going to go, but you never really know until it's written. Like, I'm certain the major plot points will stay, but the things that are addressed and happen along the way are almost always up in the air. Yes! I totally agree with that! People, it does not matter what order you write your story in, just write it!! Write that scene you really wanna write! You can write everything else out around it! But if you don't write that scene at all, you might not ever write your story because you're letting coming up with everything else get in the way of that and make the process not fun. XD I have so much stuff on my FTPOF and WWRG documents especially where it's like, so many scenes and dialogue that has not appeared in the actual thing just yet, but I am Frankensteining them into my story as I go, basically being like, 'Hmm... What can we add here today from my pre-written stuff? What topics can we address that we haven't already? Maybe sneak in some plot?' XD It's so nice to already have portions written, I cannot tell you the relief of having some of the work already done. And yeah, you'll have moments where you have to spruce up the scene, change it up a little so it fits better, but that's par for the course and it's just always nice sometimes to have those scenes already written and ready to go when you need them, even if some don't quite make the cut.
DX If they weren't so annoying, I wouldn't really care. Like, the least you could do is put them to the side or the bottom, not in the middle of the daggone story!! Especially on mobile where to scroll you have to touch the screen and I don't wanna click on the stupid ad (but that's probably what they want 🙄). Yes! One hundred percent! Make sure to constantly save on your computer/laptop while writing and have those files stored somewhere else safe too! (perferrably a disk or a flashdrive) DX Oh no! T^T Augh. I'd be devastated! Just losing my progress those one times brought me a lot of grief, I can't imagine losing every last bit! D': Do they still write? Oh, for real! >///< I could never.
XD Omg! Don't say that! I have so many! Maybe I should just post my fic recs as an entirely separate thing… 🤔 Though I'm afraid some of them will never see the light of day again due to what happened with Lunaescence. :') I'm so glad I saved a copy of one of my all time favorites: Initial Impact, but I could not tell you what the writer's username or what all the other works I enjoyed are and their authors without being able to look on the site.
Me too! Like, not only is it ad free, but the search system there… My goodness. So much better than anything I've ever come across. XD What other website lets you tag kinks and then find more works with that tag? While sometimes I do complain about layout changes from other websites, I think FF.net has not change anything since I first joined. It has looked that way for as long as I can remember. XD ASgh- I'm sorry! :'O Thank you! TvT It truly is! And I really hope everyone else can find that at least in one person in their lives! Because it's just something that I feel we should all be able to have at least once!
saofj0s- XD No, no, it's fine, I promise! Me now is so much more confident and more careful about baring my soul to just anyone. Thank you, though! :') Really, though, it is! I don't wish it upon anyone! It's… Really tough seeing other people give up the things they love for reasons like that, or from even being met with things like anger and disgust for their hobbies and interests! Even when it's something I see as harmless! XD Omg!! I'd probably end up reading you something really funny and then instead of sleeping, we'd be laughing! But it's so funny that you say that because I do have a short list of characters that I'd love to have read me to sleep. Same tho! :D If there's ever anything you wanna share and talk about, let me know!! I will talk to you all day if given the chance! And if there are any fics you want to recommend in return, send them right in!
But if you have specific fears that are the reason you have them locked, don't let me make you feel bad and unlock them if you have any doubts about the decision! That is entirely up to you! Your comfort as the author should be important too! You're not dumb or silly! It was my fault that I didn't share the full tag in that response! You're welcome! :D Oh boy. XD I have so many fics to go through and do that with if I wanna change all of my bookmarks to hearts… Pfff- XD I feel that! That's me with the apple tree ending! Like, huh? What're you talking about? Man's fine! He's out there living his life with his bro. I don't know what you mean. What apple tree? And other fandoms' canon!! Omg… We just living in denial rn. I stopped Death Note for the longest because of this!! XD I hope you enjoy it when you do! The "HE HAS EYES." kills me as does “We’ll carry each other and float our way there!” If you have any fics you recommend that are hilarious or just absolutely destroyed your soul and changed you as a person, please share them! I've said it once and I'll say it again, there are so many good fics out there! And I love that all these lovely authors have decided to share their works with the world! Goodness, if it hadn't been for them, I'd be a very different person, no doubt. Some of these writers out here really inspired me.
I have been!! I just gotta be patient! The person that was going to do it for me just had a baby, so I gotta let her have time to recover and take care of them first. I would have had it sooner perhaps, but… There's a lot of story behind this delay (like, over a year) and it's wild to me that it has taken this long. Part of me is like, 'Is there a reason I cannot finish and post this yet?? Am I not meant to, like what is going on? Is the world not ready for reader-insert Super Buu smut in the world?' DX They really are! But I've also lost stuff on paper too due to spills and my own and others' carelessness, so… You take a risk no matter what medium you go for. :/ XD Yep! Another! I have so many favorites… I can't hope to list them all in one session. Oh, for real! XD And I will admit, I am guilty of being a little mean. That little, "hehe. >:3" moment, but I just… XD It's frustrating for me too sometimes!
XD So oddly timed! Pff- Oh, yes! XD It just-- Why villain so attractive if not meant to be loved?? I have to wonder how many villains I harbor hatred for would I change my mind about if they just made them younger and gave them a tragic backstory. I'm such a fucking sucker for that! XD Though I do have a few villains that it's like, 'I hate you, but damn you're hot. 10/10 would fuck, but like, in a hate filled way. Give me the smut.' Asdfj- Same hat!! XD That's why I overlooked him so much and kinda- I don't wanna say hated him, but- I also kinda felt this wasn't the time and place for romance? And that he kinda forced Katniss' hand? And now that the Capitol believed it they just had to keep going with it? But coming into it as an adult,… I gotta respect the guy. He took a beating just to give her family bread when she was starving and broke through control enough to warn about the bombs when they had him drugged. And Katniss says so herself in the first book that she's not romantically interested in Gale, just jealous because she feels the other girls are trying to steal her hunting partner. Straight from the book: "You can tell by the way the girls whisper about him when he walks by in school that they want him. It makes me jealous but not for the reason people would think. Good hunting partners are hard to find."
And they clash a lot and, well, <.< considering with how Mockingjay ends with her hating and blaming him for, you know,... Losing the very thing all of this was all to save and protect. Can't speak for later books and her feelings there for them both that the movies don't cover, but I did sneak a peek at the ending of Mockingjay back when I was younger to see how it ended and looking back now, straight from the book itself, Katniss' thoughts: "That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that." And I just- The "real or not real?" questions just-- It does something for that hurt/comfort bug within me! 😭 The angst! Deep in the Meadow is definitely going to make an appearance in The Stars Aligned, and I Met You, just as For Fruits Basket will appear in FTPOF sometime in the future. Their respective lullabies... Good Lord, there's so much left to cover in those.
Aww, thank you! :') You have a great day/evening/night too! And I wish you the best as well! <3 Take care!
