@moonchhu THE OTHER SPIDER PERSON ONE TAG LIST

That Really Big Earthquake

LEO

“Heyyyy, I haven’t seen you in twenty four hours which truly is a record for us, I missed you, did you miss me? I bet you did right? Go on tell me aaaalllll about it.”

“So, I was just kinda minding my own business, y’know, thwipping and thwapping and going about being an awesome hero when I bumped into myself? Kinda. They looked like me, but they were different, and didn’t look like me, but, I knew they were me! Because my spider sense went off and they could do stuff I could do, but also some different stuff! And then we freaked out for a little bit before I went to auntie May to show her and she showed me four more other me’s who were hiding out in her basement and then we tried getting them home and we had to sneak about in this fancy restaurant wearing bow ties, and we cried and they went into this collider thing, also it turns out my favourite cousin was working for the evil genius corporation and he’s dead now and it feels like my fault, I’m so totally fine don’t worry about me. Howwasyourday?”

“Haha, what.”

“Stopped the collapsing of the multiverse.”

“Oh it sounds so simple when you put it like that.” Yeah okay sarcasm queen

Made you some tea after that, let’s just, take a breath for a minute, m’kay?

He has decided it’s a self care day now, at least he did after thoroughly checking you for injuries

How you do not have a concussion will always escape him, not one broken bone? Seriously? After all that?

Please remind him you’re an actual super hero and not a pane of glass

“Wait what was that about your cousin?”

RAPH

“Hey! How was your weekend?”

“Crazier than yours.”

“Okay, Bet.”

One explanation later sponge bob narrator voice

“Wait, so you’re telling Raph, that huge earthquake that happened, happened because of you and five alternate versions of yourself?

“That’s excluding a lot of things I just told you but, I am telling Raph that, yes.”

Huge bone crushing hugs are in order, according to him at least. And I mean, is he wrong?

Not letting you out of his sight for ages, please, Raph, let them go home

“Why are you so worried? I did it, I won!”

“It’s more the fact that it happened and less the fact that you’re mostly fine.”

DONNIE

Othello Von Ryan: Stay home, S.H.E.L.LD.O.N has picked up on some strange (possibly universal fabric destroying) activity. Also there has been some earthquake activity in the area you were in yesterday, not that I have a tracker on you. Because I don’t.

Only Two Legs: I handled it don’t worry :D

Othello Von Ryan: ?

Othello Von Ryan: Traverse to My Lab.

“Heyyy Deee.”

“Stop. Explain. This better be your attempt at humor.”

There was silence for a long while after you had messily glued together words to describe the past 24 hours, before he took a deep breath.

“First, How dare you stop the multiverse from collapsing without me that’s incredible rude. Second, therapy. Third, that earthquake and power surge destroyed My Lab, thankfully I have backup backups to my backups, but I couldn’t use the internet for an hour straight.”

“Y- You’re more concerned about the internet?”

“Not what I said. Now let me check you for a concussion.”

MIKEY

“Hey they took down those art displays.”

“The what?”

“Oh you weren’t here, BUT there was these reaaaallllyyyyy cool art statues along this street! Look, hey, look, I took pics!”

“Oh cooollluuuhhh that’s not an art display that’s five different fire hydrants merged into each other.”

“Haha yeah it does kinda look like that doesn’t it? I thought it was supposed to be a dog.”

“Mikey, no-“ You pulled him aside into an empty alleyway, trying to explain what had happened over the past twenty four hours.

It was an interesting experience, but you got there eventually.

Best believe this boy is giving you the biggest hug ever, and then buying pizza.

Oh, and Dr Feelings is going to be paying you a visit. Multiple. You can’t escape him.

“So they weren’t art displays?”

Speedily bulk writing and scheduling rn bc im going on a holiday with zero internet.

Okayyyy rewatched Wish

Here are my notes

Valentino wasn’t as annoying as people say. Sure, he did nothing for the plot and could’ve been removed entirely, but he didn’t make near as many butt jokes as people say he did

The lead-ins for all the songs were great. Certain media (Hazbin, for example) just jump into the songs

Magnifico??? Didn’t touch the pages??? So why would he be corrupted? Why does Amaya know of obsidian oil? Don’t you just skim the pages to release the evil?

Dahlia was amazing

“At the very least break the hold it has on him” Amaya? Didn’t you found this kingdom with thin? Wouldn’t you know?

Also Amaya was very sidelined. Where’s her backstory?

Asha’s magic wand mishaps were… corny at best

Why did they make Dario high all the time? He’s not stupid. I feel like they made him try to be like Fred from Big Hero 6 but failed

“Nine zillyboo, twenty alphabet!” Val, buddy. No.

DAHLIA. MATE. TRUE LOVE’S KISS CAN BRUNG HIM BACK I swear, it feels like the directors were switched

The spider-carriage thing. I feel like that could’ve been a Disney reference instead

Gabo was still my favorite out of the teens. Bazeema was sweet too

Also. Halzeema moments were actually in canon.

Sabino did not act 100 at all.

Crushing wishes did nothing to people except make them sad for .2 seconds

Asha’s drawing, her magic wand, none of that was important to the actual plot

I feel like the horses could’ve been Disney references too

Why did the roof open? That was never explained

Mag’s hair needed to be messier. Evil Magnifico? Crazy hair

How did he hear them from all the way down there

Mag’s really out there beating up a minor

The curse rope green things were not scary at all

Was Simon just in the forest the entire time?

The Magnifico getting sucked inside his staff… I feel that could’ve been a play to Dr. Facilier somehow

The stars raining down were beautiful

Was Star’s nose tap a reference to something?

The people’s talking… idk how I felt about that

WE 👏 SHOULD’VE 👏 SEEN 👏 SAKINA’S 👏 WISH

Another half-assed apology. First Namaari, now you. At least Simon’s was an actual apology. Wait. More of it goes on.

Ok his apology isn’t too bad

How did the staff get all the way down there?

Changed my opinion, Amaya deserved to tell Mag off

Did Mag’s curse break once he was in the mirror? Why did he act sad all of a sudden?

I’ve heard Asha’s movements weren’t finalized until later, but her movements seem pretty fluent

Clumsy and energetic, sure, but besides from the mouth drooping part, she wasn’t that quirky

Which. Could be a bad thing. She didn’t really have much of a personality

I like the Peter Pan building a flying machine idea

Zootopia ref

DARIO. SHUT UP

Why does everyone suddenly understand Star

But off-topic they were so cute

“It” I guess

Why refer to Star as an it

“They” was too woke for the Disney execs? Why, you had a one-second offhand comment about a water cousin who’s nonbinary!

That Cinderella-reference thing… wasn’t slow enough to be a dress transformation. So I’m fine with her not having a different dress. I mean obviously I would’ve loved it but idk

SHOW DON’T TELL, DISNEY

STOP TELLING

“I understand you well enough” I DON’T! HOW ARE THEY TELLING YOU

Some of Valentino’s jokes were funny. Sue me

I liked the Tinkerbell and Mikey Mouse reference at the end

The storybook was a nice callback

The credits should’ve been moving. Also CHOOSE BAYMAX TO REPRESENT BIG HERO 6. WHY HAVE VILLAINS LIKE MALEFICENT THERE

Overall. Not as bad as people are making it out to be. But definitely not worthy to be Disney’s 100

I’d say… 7/10. The backgrounds did look watercolor, but the shading seemed off in places. Especially Sakina. There was major improvement to be done, but with the hell the execs were giving (and the proven creativity of the concept art) I feel this movie is getting too much hate. Critiques and criticism are fine. But don’t blame the writers for getting rid of Starboy. Yes, it could’ve been better. But it’s Disney. And the creators tried their best to pour their love into a movie that they didn’t have a full say in.

"…So you claim Hinata had no consideration for life of anyone other than Naruto... and then use a screenshot from the manga of her literally showing consideration for the wellbeing of someone who isn't Naruto."

Considering how things went after Neji vs Naruto, chances are that things changed in the Hyuuga family for those other than just Neji. Even if not, Hinata risking her life =/= a lack of consideration for anyone's life other than Naruto's, despite consequences. Or are you saying you’ve never done anything without carefully considering every single possible consequence first?

But hey… "Tell me you didn’t read my ask properly without telling me you didn’t read my ask properly".

"Or are you saying you've never done anything without carefully considering every single possible consequence first?"

First of all, sure, everyone did, but not necessarily when the consequences are:

1) you will just get in a way of a battle and be a great inconvenience instead of helping

(of which she was aware of)

2) getting your guard punished/possibly killed

3) you hurting the person you are supposed to "help" (I'm not gonna repeat myself, you can read it here)

4) you dying for no reason

5) if you somehow don't get killed, you becoming a burden to medics who could devote their time to people who did help or got hurt by ricochet of the attack.

Second of all, you are putting it in a way that implies that Hinata did that only once, and you are wrong.

At some point of someone consistently doing the same thing you have to admit they either do that maliciously or that they are plain stupid.

I'm just gonna bring a few examples (that I talked about before over and over, but I'll do that again, especially for you)

Shimamaru: almost died

Hinata: "But I want to stay beside Naruto too"

Does she care? No. Naruto-kun. That's all she cares about.

But maybe that's because they weren't too close, because who cares about a person from your class that is your comrade in war, he's not Naruto-kun.

How about her own teammate BEING CARRIED OUT BY MEDICS?

The oiment Hinata has is more important for Naruto-kun, who is completely fine.

Who cares about Kiba, he is just being taken by medical team, but he can be an afterthought, they are just teammates after all.

How about her family?

Neji, who will be punished for hurting her (because, as you recognize YOURSELF, it's before Naruto vs Neji fight, so the punishment WILL BE THERE), who asked her TIME AND TIME again to just give up. Why will he do that, huh? Maybe because he had known what happened TO HIS FATHER FOR JUST THINKING ABOUT HER IN A BAD WAY.

Anyway, how about making Neji hurt her, then provoking him by RUBBING IT IN HIS FACE THAT HE IS BELLOW HER?

Neji just said (again) that she should give up and stop the suffering, she just casually mentions that he is "lost and suffering" because he's not in the main family.

(And before you say it was nice of her, NEJI AND THEREFORE MANGA showed us he didn't appreciate it, and the guard also saw that Neji was provoked and WAS ABOUT TO CHARGE AT HER FOR THAT COMMENT)

But ok, maybe they weren't close enough of a family, so it was acceptable to provoke him and get him to be punished, because you know...

Naruto-kun is watching, so...

How about closer family? How about her own sister?

(Now, I don't like to quote the movies because I prefer to base my opinion on canon manga only, but you, Hinata Fans, love it, so let's go)

(Credit to whoever made it, I can't find the original)

Hanabi was just kidnapped, but Hinatas mind is occupied, because well... Naruto-kun 🥺

BUT OK, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH OF A BOND BETWEEN THEM TO CARE.

Let's look at the person who took care of her for her whole life, her guard, her family, let's look at Ko:

Oh wait, we have already seen it.

It doesn't matter who it is, if it's her comrade, friend, teammate, cousin, sister, guard. If that person is not Naruto-kun, their life or well being is irrelevant to Hinata.

She cares about Naruto, that's it. Nothing else and noone else matters.

Do you understand?

So back to the beginning:

At some point of someone consistently doing the same thing you have to either admit they do that maliciously or that they are plain stupid and when it comes to LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE I'll say that it either way makes you a bad person 🤷‍♀️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, in conclusion:

I did read your ask, I just assumed (and that is my mistake, I apologize) that if you are protecting Hinata, you shoud know first thing about her, but not only you didn't read the manga, you didn't even read the parts that had Hinata in it.

So, please, first read at LEAST chapters that have Hinata in them, before you speak (It's not a lot, she is a background character after all) or I'm not gonna answer to you again, because I'm tired of repeating myself for a 1000th time.

#anti hinata #anti naruhina #anti studio pierrot #naruto #anti hinata hyuga #anti hinata fandom #anti filler #neji hyuga #pro neji #hyuga clan #naruto shipuden #anti stupidity #pro naruto manga

I’m rewatching TDP all the way up to S5’s release. So as I’m watching the credits for S2 ep 4 (because why would I skip them) this shows up.

I remember thinking this one was funny and a cute reference to The Great Gatsby when I first watched it. But since then I’ve read and watched Gatsby more times than I can count. Genuinely my favorite classic.

And it got me thinking. Why??? Why would they specifically reference this?

We all know they’ll throw in stuff in the credits we get to see or understand in the future (Ethari, Queen Aditi, etc)

So why this?

Time to combine two of my hyperfixations.

Most of this will be in reference to the 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann since that’s where the scene of Gatsby toasting in front of the fireworks comes from.

So how does Gatsby’s story work with Aaravos’s?

Well after mulling it over I can actually think of quite a few.

So in S2 episode 4 we get basically our first actual introduction to Aaravos sure he’s got no actual dialogue yet and we did see a flash of him in the episode prior. But this is narratively our first actual introduction.

Now interesting enough we as viewers find out we have seen him before. Multiple times with the intro we see his hands, and in the first episodes backstory we see him in the background and he’s the narrator.

So if it’s not necessarily our first introduction to Aaravos then who’s is it?

Viren.

Viren I’m going to insert in Nicks role in TGG just cause it makes sense narratively.

Now in TGG this scene:

Happens directly during Nick’s first actual interaction with Gatsby.

Now it should be mentioned this is not the first time they’ve seen each other. In fact it’s stated that Nick was being watched by his neighbor Gatsby for…idk a while.

And like Nick knew it he’d catch a glimpse of his hand in the window from time to time he just didn’t know it was Gatsby.

But anyway once again this fits with the fact we know Aaravos has been watching Viren from the other side probably the entire time.

So!!! Why does this matter.

Because in TGG no one knows shit about Gatsby. The mother fucker is elusive.

Literally at the party Nick is trying to track him down to thank him and LITERALLY no one knows what he looks like they just showed up to the party. Nick is literally the only person to have been invited because Gatsby just thought he’d show up like the rest of New York.

So while Nicks looking for Gatsby we get introduced to the most WILD theories about this man.

So anyway after getting shitface Nick and this woman Jordan (who’s a friend of his cousin Daisy) jokingly go exploring the house “looking” for Gatsby. (They’re not they’re just drunk af and having fun)

Anyways while exploring they end up in the mansion’s library. As they’re goofing around this older guy browsing the stacks starts telling them that they won’t find him and how the house and everything in it is an elaborate facade. (He’s right of course) so Jordan says she’s met him. And the guy asks them which version? The prince? The spy? The murderer? And goes on to say that he can’t find anyone who knows anything real about Mr. Gatsby.

And like if that’s not true for Aaravos, I don’t know what is.

Because all we know about Aaravos narratively has been told to us. We haven’t seen anything. Not really.

So who is he really?

Plus Gatsby’s main flaw is his attachment to the past his absolute refusal to move on.

And idk Aaravos more or less can’t actually move on since he’s imprisoned. But even narratively he stuck mentally where he was before imprisonment.

And that’s just another one of the many parallels I can draw.

Hell we don’t even get Gatsby’s backstory until the end of the movie pretty much and we barely know anything about Aaravos and we’re already headed into season 5.

Anyways I have a ton more thoughts on the comparison to Aaravos and Gatsby. I don’t want to spoil the ending of TGG for anyone who hasn’t read/watched it. GO READ OR WATCH IT. So I might eventually make a separate post.

Oh one other thing. The new money vs old money narrative in TGG could easily be reworked to fit Human’s learning magic (dark magic or not) and being born into an arcanum. And like Gatsby is new money which fits with Aaravos managing to connect to all the arcanum’s

#the dragon prince #tdp #aaravos #the great gatsby #the dragon prince theory #i have a lot of thoughts

Poorly written Sonic Movie 3 Pitch/outline pt. 7

THE scene

This was actually one of the first scenes I wrote. Maria’s death might be one of the most heartbreaking but somehow beloved scenes in the entire franchise. Why is that? I think it’s a moment that a lot of people really connected with due to the shear amount of tragedy in it. A lot of people played this game as a kid, and this was probably the most thought provoking scene in all of Sonic media. I was too young to understand watching my cousins play the game what the scene really meant, but I had that moment latter on watching Sonic X. I was a kid seeing another kid go through this great sacrifice and felt the weight of her choice, and it made me understand Shadows philosophy before and after he remembered.

I wanted to make that really stand out. I wanted to build and feel the connection between Shadow and Maria the way Project Shadow did. I wanted to capture how they were just kids dreaming of seeing the world, and wanted the audience to feel the weight of the consequences of Maria’s choices, and the added tragedy that shadow only remembered the sacrifice and not what it was for.

I also wanted Amy’s speech to go beyond just “give humanity a chance”. I know her speech to him is pivotal, but I decided to make it focused on reminding him of who he really is rather than the means of revenge Gerald turned him into. I also wanted it all to tie back into her own experiences and character development through the course of the film. Of remembering those of the past while still opening yourself up to new people.

This might seem way too deep, or like I’m reading way too much into it, but this is how that original scene makes me feel now. I hope people enjoy it, and I hope people know that even though I title these as “poorly written” I actually put a lot of thought into them. Thanks for reading. I’ll definitely write more as my mind races with even more concepts I hope that the movies include.

Interior: Space Colony Ark

Amy’s search for sonic leads her to an open observation room. The entire wall is taken up by a single window, and earth can be seen. Lights continue to flash, and the distant sound of sirens reminds the viewer that the Ark has only 22 minutes until it enters earth’s atmosphere.

In the room, Sonic is sitting on the floor, looking out at the earth as it draws near. Amy opens her mouth to say something, then closes it. She sits down next to him.

Sonic: It's weird seeing it like this. We tried so hard to save it, and now it’s too late. I can’t fix this.

Amy: I know. You can’t alone. But maybe there’s still time.

Sonic: how? Shadow’s the only other person here that can use the emeralds’ power, and I can’t get through to him.

Amy: you don’t have the full story.

Sonic glances at her.

Sonic: Then who does?

Amy: I think he does. He just doesn’t remember.

Sonic: What do you mean?

Amy: I mean, I saw a security tape. I saw… everything that happened that day. And I heard everything too. Shadows story lines up, but it’s missing a huge piece of the puzzle. He doesn’t remember how much he and Maria loved the earth. All he remembers is the moment all of that came to an end, and nothing else.

Sonic: So what now? Show him the video?

Amy: no. This is something he needs to remember himself. I just need to talk to him.

Sonic: how do you know he would still want to work together?

Amy’s face brightens into a smile.

Amy: Sonic, you’ve always seen the best in people, given them the chance they needed to prove themselves. You never gave up on them, never gave up on me. It’s one of the things I admire most about you. You have an amazing power, and it has nothing to do with the emeralds. Somehow, despite being alone for so long, after everything you went through, you brought us all together, as a team. As a family. If there’s anyone on earth that Shadow would rally behind, it’s you.

Flashbacks of moments from the previous movies appear as Amy talks. Sonic asking Tom for help getting to San Francisco. Him talking to knuckles on the beach. Him holding out his hand to Tails to follow him through the portal. Him giving Amy a fist bump, signifying that she’s officially part of the team. The flashbacks end with one group shot of team Sonic celebrating finding their first chaos emerald.

We cut back to the room. Amy is dreamily staring at the earth, lost in thought. Sonic looks at her in awe, a blush creeping up on his face.

Sonic: that… that was the most beautiful thing anyone’s ever said to me.

Amy smiles at him.

Amy: And I believe every word of it. I’m sure that Shadow will too.

Sonic sheepishly grins back at her.

Sonic: I don’t think I’ll be able to do it alone this time.

A realization crosses Amy’s mind as her eyes light up.

Amy: I need to help him become the hero…

Sonic: sorry, what was that?

Amy: (more excited) I need to help him become the hero! The cards weren’t just talking about teaching you, they were telling me that I have to be the one to talk to Shadow!

Sonic: the fortune?

Amy: oh thank you Sonic!

She embraces him and his face flushes again. She realizes what she’s doing and stops, also looking bashful.

Amy: you go find the emeralds, leave the rest to me!

She runs out of the room and down the hall. Sonic watches for a moment before he smirks and takes off to find the emeralds.

THE scene

Interior: Space Colony ARK

Shadow is looking out the window of the observatory room. The ARK continues to gain speed, and earth slowly but surely gets bigger. Amy runs into the room.

Amy: Shadow…

Shadow: have you come to admire the view one last time? I must admit, it’s bittersweet seeing it like this.

Amy: Do you know why you’re doing this?

Shadow: an odd question. This was my mission. Destroy humanity.

Amy: Are you sure?

Shadow turns to glare at her.

Shadow: and what is that supposed to mean?

Amy: We found some records earlier. Do you really know why Gerald created you?

Shadow opens his mouth to say something, only to close it again.

Amy: You weren’t meant to be a weapon like GUN wanted you to be. You were created to heal.

Shadow winces.

Shadow: None of that matters! My purpose is gone now and it’s thanks to those despicable humans! The only thing left is this!

Amy: Is that what you really think?

Shadow holds his head in his hands.

Amy: (realization) You keep fighting it, the rest of the memory.

Shadow: Shut up!

Amy: I’m so sorry, Shadow. What happened was horrible. It must be so painful to remember, to have only that final moment replay in your head again and again. It’s the only thing you were able to hold onto. That isn’t your fault though.

Shadow writhes, his head pounding.

Amy: I know it hurts to think about. That’s why you haven’t let yourself remember. But letting yourself remember all the good times you had together, the moments that gave your life and hers meaning, it’s how you can honor her memory.

Shadow clams his breath.

Shadow: When? When will it stop hurting?

Amy smiles sadly.

Amy: I wish I knew.

Over Amy’s monologue, we see flashes of her past as well as Sonic and Knuckles. Amy with her grandmother, learning how to fortune read, followed by an image of her in front of a gravestone with a flower in hand. Sonic wrapped in a hug from Longclaw, followed by the scene of him racing towards her only to phase through the ring portal as it closed. Then the scene of him looking out at the hologram of Longclaw disappearing as he solemnly reaches towards it. Knuckles looking at his father walking away with the rest of his tribe, followed by a scene of him and the ghost of Pechacamac.

Amy: There isn’t anyone who can answer that. But we remember anyway. Because it means all those moments meant something. They helped make us who we are now.

Shadow exhales, seemingly preparing for something.

Amy: I know it’s painful, but please, try to remember the entire story. Remember what happened before the end.

Shadow relaxes, letting his mind finally go.

We cut to a flash of memories all coming at once. The first is of Maria looking at Shadow in a testing tube, covered in wires as he’s suspended in fluid. She presses her hand up to the glass and stares up in wonder.

The next is of them dancing in the halls of the ARK while Yellow Submarine play on a cassette tape. They laugh together as they trip up while trying to dance.

The clips get more brief.

There's a memory of Shadow helping Maria brush her hair, putting in her signature hairband, one of them looking up at the Milky Way, one of Shadow resting his head on Maria’s lap as they look at the earth, one of them eating together in the mass hall, one of them reading together, and moments that flash too fast to properly make out what’s happening.

The flashes suddenly stop, and we cut to the final memory. Maria is looking at Shadow through the glass of the space capsule with tears in her eyes. We hold on her for a few seconds before the camera cuts to Shadow, looking terrified.

Shadow: Maria, what are you doing?

Maria: I’m not going to let them catch you, Shadow. Grandpa and I found out the truth. If they catch you, they’ll turn you into a weapon. I have to do this.

Shadow: Maria, please… Come with me! We said we would go to earth together!

Maria: I’m sorry, Shadow. I wish I could go with you. There’s nothing in the universe that I want more than to go with you! But I wouldn’t survive down there. My illness would catch up to me the moment the capsule opened.

Shadow: I can’t leave you!

Maria: And I can’t let them take you!

The room is completely silent as they both stare at each other.

Maria: Shadow, there’s a whole world of people that need you. Give them a chance. You were created to help humanity, not just me. Please, I beg you, give them the same hope that you gave me. Protect them. Let them live their dreams. Promise me you will.

Shadow: Maria…

Maria: Promise me, shadow! Please...

The room is silent as we pan on Shadow, looking reluctant.

Shadow: I… I promise.

Maria smiles through her tears. She walks over to the lever, resting her hand on it.

Maria: Shadow. You’re the best brother I could have ever had. I love you. If you don’t remember anything else, remember this, I love you.

Tears stream down her face as she turns to smile at him.

Maria: Sayonara, Shadow The Hedgehog.

Before she can pull the lever, an agent holding a gun walks into the room.

Agent: freeze!

Maria doesn’t even turn to look at him. Both hands are on the lever, a determined look on her face.

Agent: I said stop!

Maria closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

Shadow: Maria! No! Please don’t-

Maria pulls down on the lever, and we hear the sound of a shot ring out as we focus on shadow, suspended in the single moment. All sound is cut, except for the sound of ringing.

Shadow: MARIA!

The cry is visceral, and pierces the silence. We only focus on the shot of shadow as the capsule finally is ejected into space. Shadow curls up. No sound is heard, but the full body heaving lets us know he’s crying.

We cut back to the present shot of Shadow. Tears are running down his face as he tries to maintain his composure.

Shadow: Maria… I- I promised you I would protect them. What have I done?

Amy: It's not too late, shadow!

Shadow turns to her, wiping his face.

Shadow: It’s not too late...

Amy: Sonic’s already gone to get the chaos emeralds. He should be waiting for you.

Shadow smiles in relief.

Shadow: I can’t believe I’d forgotten.

Amy: I’m sure it wasn’t easy remembering all of that.

Shadow: No. Remembering was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But now I know my true purpose. I won’t be the weapon they want me to be. I won’t be the means of revenge that Gerald tried to turn me into.

Amy: Well, what are you waiting for? You have a promise to keep.

Shadow smiles.

Shadow: Thank you, Amy.

In a flash, he runs out of the room.

Amy smiles to herself.

Amy: You’re welcome, Shadow.

She runs out of the room herself to meet up with everyone.

Vat7k random headcanons.

Varian:

Trans FtM (tho I enjoy MtF Var too :3)

Bisexual (was intended canon in vat7k)

When originally not trusting Hugo, he makes it painfully obvious to him in the way he acts around him vs around Yong and Nuru

Writes NewDream & his Dad letters :3 probably whenever arriving in & leaving a new Kingdom!

I prefer the vest design so uh; I hc the reason he has 2 hairstripes now is a result of the S3 finale. I hc his canon hairstripe is from the fact his dad was hit by a blast of the moonstone. The 2nd one is a "scar" from dying and being revived in the S3 finale (I imagine Eugene has a similar "scar" in a blonde strand of hair from the movie. Also Cass and Raps each having ones in their respective colours bc of being past users. Also yes this implies the entirety of ppl who helped in the S3 finale has blonde/gold and/or turquoise/blue "scars" from the S3 finale somewhere in their hair or on their body)

Alchemist and engineer rivalry with Hugo bc Hugo likes to be a smartass

Hugo is his first proper masc crush, he doesn't really count his celebrity crush on Eugene he had as a kid

I hc his surname to be VanGuard (inspired by "His Little Light" on AO3)

Slavic from his dads side (not sure what specific country I hc the DK as but I like the idea of it being slavic)

Hugo:

Genderfluid (amab if anyone cares)

Pansexual

Never actually had like time for proper romance due to his work, so he doesn't actually know how to deal with catching feelings for Varian and Var seemingly reciprocating them (its different to actually love someone opposed to pretending for a job)

Actually really good with kids! This shows in him actually helping care for Yong a lot (he sneaks a Flynn Rider book from Varians bag and reads it to Yong as bedtime story lol)

Probably met Eugene and possibly Lance in their criminal pasts

Having beef with Nuru bc oh no royalty and royals suck (he doesn't understand how Varian can be best friends with a princess [Raps] either) at the start but learns through her that some aren't just stuck up selfish assholes

Teasingly tries to one-up Varians alchemy

Post-vat7k he stays in Corona with Var! First working as his assistant until being offered the role of royal advisor (bc fuck Nigel)

Not a hc bc it is his original DND surname, but personally I go with the surname Rottewange for him (seen some ppl use different ones)

Russian (ah yes the common "Ingvarr is Russia" hc)

Yong:

Probably not the best relationship with his family considering they just sent him off with some stranger from another kingdom

Basically the collective little brother of the group

Hugo jokingly calls him Varians kid after finding out his clumsiness and exploding projects are something Var used to experience too

Gets along well with everyone in the squad yay

He really likes Ruddiger too, getting all excited when seeing him for the first time (I imagine he loves animals :3)

Him and Nuru definitely catch on the fact Varigo both crush on each other way before the two actually admit it themselves

To make him more relatable to Varian, I also imagine him being a Farmboy too

Kinda canon bc it seems to be his clothing inspo + some concept art aspects but; Chinese

Nuru:

Lesbian or at least Sapphic, kinda realizes that when they meet Vars cousins (if you read "Varians Tangled Trials" yk why lol. Nuru and Amber my beloved.)

Huge mistrust towards Hugo

Yong and her often pacify the situation if Varigo alchemist rivalry goes a bit too far

NOT the mom of the group. She's a kid lol. (Hugo and Varian being the only adults and actually having to take responsibility for the two minors >>)

Regardless she's still rather mature in handling situations bc raised as a princess so she knows how to behave

She however is a bit more fun as herself, which the other three would learn over time. Especially when she nerds out about the stars.

Her title as princess as well as Varians as Coronas royal engineer prove useful a lot on their journey

Post-vat7k she would probably try to seek out Varian at royal gatherings so they can catch up. If he's not there then she seeks out Rapunzel to ask about how he's doing :3

Idk just random stuff, nowhere near everything lol.

Dont have surname hcs for the kiddos so uh yeah idk feel free to share yours? Ig Nuru would just be "of Koto(/whatever Kingdom you assign her to)" bc princess or smth? For Yong I might look into some chinese surnames mayhaps...

Also don't have a nationality hc for Nuru so feel free to pitch yours lol

#rambling #headcanons #vat7k #vat7k hugo #vat7k nuru #vat7k yong #vat7k varian #hugo rottewange #Varian vanguard

So I had a question. Would Lavinet (and Prihine I suppose) ever consider retiring from the political game? Every future ask I’ve seen has her furthering her political career, so would she ever choose to just settle down and live the quiet life? Okay maybe not completely quiet because that’s boring, but at least something that involves less mental games?

Personally, my Shepherd hates politics and all the scheming and intrigue, but I understand it’s a pretty important part of Lavs identity so I don’t want to take that away from her either. Thanks!

Hi there, sorry if this is disappointing, but Lavinet's entire identity and ambition in life revolves around becoming a politician and learning to wield political power for the betterment of all, so she will never willingly give that up. That's a dealbreaker for her, and she would additionally be deeply unhappy with "the quiet life": I'm pretty sure she would expect the person she's supposed to end up with to support her in these dreams and ambitions, so if she were asked to retire from these pursuits, it's likely she would choose to break up with them rather than acquiescing! Sorry to be a bummer, lol, I just know she would feel very strongly about it!

I think she would definitely take necessary hiatuses or breaks from "the Grand Illusion" periodically (like if MC was injured and needed to be cared for, or her father was sick and needed her at home, or for maternity leave, etc.), but it would never be a permanent thing in her mind unless truly extraordinarily circumstances occurred (like MC disappeared mysteriously and she needed to search for them, etc.). But being asked to stop because it's something her partner doesn't jive with would be a no-go, unfortunately.

For Prihine, I think it's something she could entertain like years into the relationship/marriage. She never had high political ambitions as a young child like Lavinet did, but now that she's getting a taste for the freedom, independence, and power as Turti Ushala's widow, she's pretty much thriving for the first time in her life, and that would be hard for her to let go. She's also a naturally distrustful and anxious person, so if MC were to ask her to retire, there would be a lot of reservations about it, like, 'What if I retire for them and become totally dependent/reliant on them, and then they leave me? Shouldn't I keep maintaining my own career and autonomy in case things go south?' Once she became more assured that that future isn't very likely (would take a lot of years and likely marriage before she felt truly secure), I think she could be persuaded to relinquish most of that life, but she will always need to maintain some sort of socialite status to be truly happy: she won't want to retire to a small cottage in the countryside and never see any noble or member of the elite again. She can retire to a chateau in the countryside if she's still allowed to host salons and parties and picnics and whatnot: they just won't have very high stakes other than showing off how wealthy or glamorous she and her family are! (It would be like getting a celebrity to retire from making movies and TV shows, but you can't take away her social media, lol.)

So an MC who pursues either of the Naveen cousins is going to have to accept that socializing and entertaining is going to be a part of their lives no matter what--it's just a difference in the stakes, lol. Hope that all makes sense!

My Elvis Files Polls: Context

For the uninitiated. Bill Bixby starred alongside Elvis in Clambake (worst movie I've ever seen) and Speedway in 1967. Bixby was an Elvis fan and got a bit starstruck when Elvis wanted to greet him (when they met for the first time) when they worked on Clambake (I think). Alledgedly, they became friends. Bixby, the forever bachelor, even discussed with Elvis whether to marry Brenda Benet (they were married from 1971 to 1979). Anyways, Elvis died in 1977. There were conspiracy theories emerging about his death. An important person here is Gail Brewester Giorgio, she wrote a fiction book about a famous singer faking his own death. She happened to name that singer after a real singer who was not Elvis, but sounded like him. He also wore a mask. She converted this story into a conspiracy theory about Elvis faking his death. Now, in 1991, after Bixby got told that he had prostate cancer, he agreed to host a live show about the death of Elvis. He said that he only agreed to do the show because the people around him had convinced him that Elvis may be alive although he was dead. On the show, Gail was the star who Bixby turned to all the time to ask questions etc etc. There were also other people there, a cousin of Elvis, a fan club president, a cop, some experts, etc etc and they all argued that Elvis was alive. The final guest on the show was a French-Canadian who had read an Fbi file. The conspiracy was that well, Elvis' dad got scammed by a conman belonging to a fraternity of conmen. In order to take down these con artists Elvis worked with law enforcement and faked his own death. So, Elvis wasn't dead but in hiding because of his involvment with this aka. dead but alive. This is all bogus of course. A year later Bixby claimed no embarassment about the show and he stepped on stage again to do a follow-up to the Elvis show (The Elvis Files) called the Elvis Conspiracy. Gail was not there. In this special, they debunked the conspiracy theory. Joe, a friend of Elvis who saw his dead body basically said "Bill, everyone, he is dead" and then Elvis' hairdresser who dressed Elvis' dead body came on stage and talked to Bixby about death, about moving on. Elvis isn't dead but he moved on. Michael Landon's not dead but moved on. Bixby wouldn't die, but move on. At the end of the special Bixby admitted that he did not believe Elvis was alive. My personal theory is that Bixby did believe that Elvis was alive (until around the second special) because of his own situation with the cancer that ended his life in 1993.

Anyways, when I make the polls, I use screenshots from the first special (the Elvis Files 1991) and imitate how Bixby and Gail spoke to one another.

Hey! How did you get access to watch the March RW&RB screener? I want to sign up for that, if I can. :)

I got lucky--a friend of mine down in LA got the offer and immediately sent it to me. She didn't/doesn't care about it, but she knows I'm obsessed and had made sure to let all my Hollywood-connected friends know that if they saw anything come up, let me know IMMEDIATELY because I needed it like air to breathe.

But there are a lot of websites to sign up for early screeners (or even just "barely before opening but it's free and free things are awesome so yay" screeners)--note that these are in no particular order; just whatever ones I happened to think of first:

Preview Free Movies is the one I got RWRB through, as well as tickets for Rocketman way back in the day. These are ostensibly the hardest to get into because they're usually only held in very specific movie-centric places and often tickets are handed out literally in person at local malls. It takes luck to get a location you can get to, but if you can ... totally worth it. They do sometimes do early online screeners, too: I saw Spinning Gold back in 2020, unfinished, and it was awesome. Found out later that a friend's cousin wrote the movie about their uncle! Small world, there. Also, I now can't listen to Love to Love You Baby without wanting to kill myself, but they changed that for the final release lol. Everyone in that early screener was like PLEASE DON'T PLAY THAT FOR TEN MINUTES EVER AGAIN.

Gofobo does a lot of early ones as well, but those are more like press screenings just before wide release, not in production ones.

1iota sometimes has screeners, even though they usually do tickets to talk shows (I have seen Taron Egerton at a bunch of those, though, including for Jimmy Kimmel where my [clothed!!!] boobs are on display for an awkward amount of time because Jimmy was talking to the people sitting directly in front of me lol)

Advance Screenings offers a lot of press screenings, but also sometimes contests to see special movie screenings. I "won" passes to a special Hunger Games screening through this site.

Amazon Screenings is really neat because it also does a lot of early virtual screenings. I've seen so many movies sitting at home in my jammies this way. And often they'll have special things to go along with it, like talks with the cast and crew, or for their Halloween set a few years back, virtual dance parties with DJs. Jason Blum was in the chat with all of us and it was kind of epic.

Searchlight Screenings is for Fox films. Same as the others; you sign up and hope to get lucky with a screening in your area.

Lionsgate Screenings are for, well. Lionsgate films.

WB also does screenings sometimes.

iScreeningRoom is great for online indie films. I've seen some really great movies that I can't wait for them to get wide releases. Some of them are weird as hell, as expected from indie films, but I've never hated anything I've seen. I know Nomad is pushing for a release soon, and I can't wait to watch that one again.

Many of these are US-centric, for anyone who comes across this post. I don't know much about other countries 'cause, you know. 'Murica, or whatever.

The other thing to remember is, for any of these screenings that are in person, you have to get there early. Like, stupid early. Multiple hours early. They always overbook the theatre. Yeah, you have a ticket? So do 500 other people for that 100 seat theatre. There are no guarantees for early screenings. I was almost the last person in for RWRB, and about the only people in after me were Matthew Lopez and some other people in his group. I only got a good seat because @machtaholic got there earlier than I did and saved one for me, which, had I not made it in, would have gone to someone else. The workers were going to try to sneak me in regardless because I was freaking out about having driven 8 hours only for the movie and if I'd missed it I was gonna cry, lol. Also, the hotel next to the theatre is where the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz were housed during film, so. Learned something while there, ha.

But also, there was no notice on it. Like, I found out on Tuesday that the screener was on Wednesday and I had to get myself to LA immediately if I had any hope of making it. For the really early ones, if you don't live in the city it's held in, you have to be ready to get up and go. Immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, and hope your boss is really cool with you just not coming in.

Caveat: a lot of those super early ones, they won't even advertise those films to you as you're "out of market" for their research purposes. If it hadn't been for my friend living in the proper market, I'd have never known. It's the same way I was invited to a crazy early screening of Argylle (but from a different friend), even though I couldn't make it to that one because the timing just didn't work. So if you live in Boise and the movie's screening in Seattle, you're not going to even know about it.

Also also, there are age and gender limits on some of these. The woman and her daughter behind me in line, mom couldn't get into RWRB because she was one year past the age cutoff. Conversely, some movies you need to have children of a certain age. Keep that in mind when signing up for the really early ones. The press screeners are rarely that picky, though they did actually ID check for Kingsman (no others, not even other R rated films).

The more you sign up for, the more you redeem, the more you get invited to others. There have been many times where I have to choose which screening I feel like seeing because I've got offers for two or three films on the same night. Conversely, there have been times where I'm a greedy brat and go see the same movie across multiple screeners, but that's only happened like ... twice, because it was Eddie the Eagle, and three of my friends wanted to go but never on the same night, so I took them different times lol, and then the other was for The Wedding Ringer, which was never full so it didn't matter.

And I know there are other sites out there, but these are the ones I'm signed up on that I can recall. I get a lot of emails from these ones, and thus more chances to see films early.

Also sorry if my links are broken. I'm pretty sure I did them right but who even knows anymore lol.

Look at the soul -Part 3 It’s my life

Series Master list

Cillian Murphy x OC

✨ Sorry it took me this long, I was a bit stuck in this part… but I’m hoping the story will flow from here 🎭

🌻 Also you know me, I love involving reader’s names as a special thank you for your constant support and encouragement, if you haven’t seen yours don’t worry, there’s lots of chapters ahead xx

Song: It’s my life- Bon Jovi

“Will you come to the theater?” Was the first thing Enda asked Cillian over the phone.

“Good morning to you, I’m good thanks.” Cillian replied with sarcasm while pouring some coffee for himself.

“We don’t need those formalities, I’ve seen you drunk, you’ve seen me emptying my stomach…” Cillian could imagine his friend pulling his own face from the desperation. “Do you think she will show up?”

“For the sake of my marriage I hope she does!” Cillian heard Joeleen’s voice in the background.

“Poor Joe, she deserves an award for living with you.” He knew Enda had the call on speaker.

“He’s driving me crazy Cill! Can you adopt him?” Joeleen’s voice again.

Cillian chuckled and heard the familiar steps of his sons upstairs, taking a quick glance at the clock, he realized they still had time.

“My hands are full at the moment, but I will let you know if there’s an open spot.” He joked.

As they said their goodbyes, the toasts were ready and his mood on spot that morning. Scout joined him in the kitchen yawning, the smell of food always did the trick for him.

“What do you think, hmm?” Cillian asked the black Labrador who lifted on his back paws and rested the front ones against his body. Bending down he scratched Scout’s head. “Will she accept to be in the play?”

What were the chances of finding the perfect person to play a part in the middle of the day?

These kind of things rarely happen, it’s like winning the lottery.

But it also reminded him a lot of the way he stared in theater, all of those years and he could still remember the first time he held a script in his hands.

Someone once told him, the story should both excite and scare you at the same time, there was no other way around.

“It’s been a while since I’ve done theater.” Cillian continued with his one way conversation. ”But if is meant to happen, I think it would be a good chance to try.”

He had been busy in other projects and well, then the tragedy that made him pause his life happened.

“I like it when you’re on stage da.” His youngest son, Ben joined him.

Cillian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“You do?” Maybe he heard him wrong.

Ben took the toast and sipped at his shake, but since his mouth was full, he nodded eagerly.

Leaning against the stove, Cillian crossed his arms, savoring Ben’s words for a moment.

“It’s a beautiful script.” He mumbled more to himself than anything.

“You always say that.” Andrew pinched his brother and a round of complaints started.

“Finish your breakfast, I will be at the theater for the rest of the day, your aunt Sile will pick you up.”

“Can we go to the movies?” Ben asked with a big smile.

It seemed like ages ago when he last enjoyed something like that, something as a regular as a night out watching a film.

“Yeah, take your cousins with ya, and don’t let Sile pay, no matter what she says.” He took some bills from his wallet and handed them to Andrew, his oldest.

“Tell him he has to share that with me, the last time he didn’t give me money for popcorn.” Ben asked.

Cillian shot Andrew a glance. “Hey, if you do that I will take your phone for a week.”

“Dad!”

“Zip it, eat your breakfast you’re going to be late.”

Ben stared at his father in silence. “You look weird without the beard, good actually.”

Cillian blushed and let out an uncomfortable laugh at his son’s compliment.

“It was getting too complicated to maintain.”

“You don’t look so old now.” Teased Andrew.

Cillian wrapped his arm around his son’s neck, in a wrestling motion and bending him down, he asked: “who are you calling old now, hmm?”

Andrew’s face immediately became red as he pleaded his father to release him.

Laughs and joy filled the kitchen, a deep contrast with the silence and awkwardness they have been moving around the last couple of months.

“Right, now go and be good, see you for dinner.”

“Bye Dad!” Ben gave him a quick hug and ran off to the door. At ten years old, he still gave dad a hug, he actually started to do it more frequently after losing his mother. Cillian wondered how long it would last..

“Love you.” Cillian didn’t get a response as he waved at them. “Love you too.” He answered to himself.

“Wish me luck.” He asked Scout right before going out.

Being completely honest with himself, he was so nervous for the outcome, they still didn’t have Marianne’s confirmation to be in the play, and he also couldn't even start to name his feelings towards the whole thing, to be on stage one more time after so long.

But deep down, he knew if there was something that could actually save him was this, to be able to perform, to leave his heart and soul every night on stage.

Stepping in the theater brought back so many memories for him, it was almost as if he could see himself from the outside messing around, carefree, following his instincts, having fun, enjoying every second of it. He wouldn’t change anything.

There’s something magical about a stage play that you don’t get on a film, it’s all about owning the stage the moment the lights go down and surrender completely to the audience until they start the ovation. It’s about getting rid of all the mental chains every single night.

And he wanted to do it again.

More than anything.

“I swear you’re driving me crazy Enda, you can’t make a change like this in the last minute.” Heidi walked from backstage with Enda following her steps, she was his right hand for the play they were rehearsing. And apparently, she just found out about Enda’s wish to stop his current play to focus on ‘Look at the soul’. “We’re just a month away of the big opening.”

“Six weeks.” Corrected Enda in a low voice, hiding his hands inside the pockets of his jeans.

“Excuse me?!”

“I said we’ve six weeks to make this happen.” If only his walking miracle with long dark hair and green eyes and a smile that could stop the traffic would walk through the corridor. “We’ll need just a couple of adjustments.”

“Did Marianne confirm you already?”

“No.” Enda shook his head. “But I’m hoping she will.”

“Why are you making changes if you’re not sure yet?” Heidi deserved an award for her patience towards Enda, he could be a maniac sometimes.

“Maybe she’s still reading the script.” Enda tried to justify as he leaned against the column.

“Tell him he’s crazy?” Heidi looked at Cillian pleading he would take her side.

“He is.” Cillian admitted with a smile. “But I will have to agree with him this time.”

“What am I supposed to tell the investors?”

“That we have a bombshell in our hands.”

Just because he had the script written, it doesn’t mean you can turn it into a play overnight, rehearsals take months, wardrobe, music, the set…

“You’re pushing her to her limits.” Cillian pointed towards the path Heidi was taking, mumbling something to herself.

“I’m sure she will find a way.”

Cillian looked at his clock.

Would Marianne find the play interesting enough?

“Do you want to see the bar I’ve got for this? It was backstage.”

“No. I’m going to get a coffee.” Because it was too early for a pint, he thought.

“There’s a coffee machine here.”

“Enda, your plays are great, but your coffee is shit.”

His friend faked indignation. “Ungrateful bitch.”

Truth is this was making him feel anxious, worse than waiting for a call about a role for a movie. So he decided to walk to the coffee shop that was close to the theater.

***

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for faith-departed

Coming down from the bus, Marianne started to pay attention to the familiar song that randomly started to play through her headphones.

And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

This couldn't be more fitting, more perfect.

It perfectly described part of her feelings right there.

It's my life It's now or never

Finding an empty spot at the park, Marianne sat at the bench with the script on her lap.

My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said, "I did it my way"

Her mind re-playing the conversations she had with two close people over and over.

The impact of what we say stays imprinted in the mind, and it can either encourage us or make us quit.

They both thought she was joking about the way the script came to her, that she couldn’t be serious about accepting the role. She had a promising career, a job promotion waiting back home once she finished her master degree.

Feeling deflated and with so many doubts in her heart, she crossed the street.

The autumn breeze made her shiver. Or maybe it was the goosebumps after watching the theater from a couple of meters away.

She believed firmly some opportunities come and knock on your door directly. While other people keep waiting all their lives for it.

Was this her one in a million?

It surely wasn’t something she expected, neither planned to happen in her life. And it sounded like a chance she couldn’t miss.

But she also knew the scholarship she got was a huge responsibility she couldn’t just turn down. Could she manage to do both?

Her eyes were fixed on the big billboard that announced the Olympia Theater.

Imposing, majestic.

What if she wasn’t made for this? If she got scared in the middle of the play? She wasn’t scared of the project, she was afraid of being able to perform onstage.

A million thoughts crossed her mind as a bunch of people walked past her, in a rush, would any of them be interested in going to a play starring her?

What if no one liked that a foreigner was the leading role?

The story was so interesting, the character had her full attention from the first lines, Adria’s pain was so palpable and heartbreaking, some parts of her dialogue playing in the back of her mind like a song you can’t stop thinking about.

It felt just like the previous seconds right before jumping, when your heart is beating to the maximum capacity and you see your life flashing by. The scariest moment before the calmness.

Closing her eyes for an instant, Marianne took a deep breath.

“Flip a coin.” Said a deep voice next to her, pulling her out of her thoughts. “If you have doubts, just flip a coin.”

It was Cillian walking towards her, a coffee cup in his hand. His face was completely shaved, he looked like a different person.

“This is deeper than leaving an important decision to fate, right?” Marianne asked.

“Because in the few seconds that the coin is in the air, you will see what side of the coin your heart desires, and that’s exactly what you should do.”

His words were so right. They felt so right, just what she needed to hear.

“But I don’t think you came all the way just say that you don’t want to do this.”

“Have you done this before?”

Even though she didn’t answer directly, he could already see the yes in her eyes. The answer burning from the inside. There was so much of herself that reminded him of the old Cillian.

Cillian nodded and his blue eyes sparkled. “But every night feels like it’s the first time.”

“Why is the knot in my stomach growing?”

“Because you really want to give this a shot.”

“What if I’m not what you’re expecting?”

Cillian arched his eyebrow. “Is this the same woman that broke a mirror in the middle of an audition?”

Marianne opened her mouth to apologize for that, but Cillian interrupted her.

“I think you were born for this role, Adria has been waiting for you all this time.”

The firm statement made her feel goosebumps, her mind and heart holding a battle.

There was something about Cillian that made her feel secure, he had assured her he would be by her side every step of the way as some kind of mentor or coach.

Heidi looked at her watch and Enda thought it was time to get some fresh air, or he would get a heart attack. Walking outside, he decided to go and find his friend.

But to his surprise, he didn’t need to walk a lot, because he found Cillian sitting on the steps outside the theater, with a woman who slowly turned her head around, gifting him a head tilt and a kind smile.

“No fucking way!” Enda could hardly contain his excitement. “You’re here!”

The screenplay writer rushed down the theater steps to give his leading role a hug.

“Thank you, you’re not going to regret this.”

Marianne’s face relaxed at his enthusiasm, it was contagious and it felt like she made the right decision.

Enda ushered them inside, and after providing Heidi some instructions for the changes, Cillian and Marianne followed him to the rehearsals room.

“K, now let me hear about your requests.”

Marianne looked at him confused.

“He means the terms and conditions you want in your contract.” Cillian offered her a warm smile. “It usually doesn’t work like that, but it looks like you have him eating from your hand.” He then winked at her.

“Well, I just don’t want to assume anything,” Enda leaned forwards on the table, willing to give her anything, Cillian took a pen and paper to write it down, “but I won’t under any circumstance make a naked scene.”

“Those scenes aren’t part of this play, don’t worry.” Enda assured he.

Marianne shook her head. “Doesn’t matter.”

“Got it.” Pointed Cillian. “What else?”

“I need another job to pay for my expenses, I can help with everything you need, budget, accounting, administration...”

But before Enda could answer he couldn’t afford another salary, Cillian interrupted him.

“I will take care of that.”

Adjusting his specs on is nose, Enda asked his friend: “are you going to pay for that or what?”

“Lets get to the next point, I will tell you later.” He answered. “Did you know that she studied Finance?” Cillian touched his head with the pen indicating that she had a brain they shouldn’t ignore and encouraged Marianne to continue.

“Rehearsals and the play cannot overlap my MBA studies, I fought so hard to win my scholarship and if I fail, they can take it away.”

“Got it, school is a priority.” Cillian wrote down, far too excited for her compromise.

“We can make it work.”

“Charity.”

Enda made a face. “I’m not following.”

“I want the play to be involved in charity and I want to be part of it, you can pick the association, it can be kids with special needs, single mothers, pets looking for family...”

Cillian nodded. “We can donate a percentage of certain dates too.”

“I don’t have money to give it away, we barely get back what we invest... I’m not the bloody barefoot nuns!”

“Stop whining, we can do it.” Cillian supported her idea. He was enjoying way too much this negotiation.

Enda turned red. “We can? Since when you get to make executive decisions?” He took off his glasses. “Are you now co-owner of this play?”

“Yeah, I will send you a cheque tomorrow.”

“Excuse me? When did you get promoted from narrator to partner?”

Marianne was looking from one man to the other.

“Do you want her in your play or not?” Standing up, Cillian pointed at Marianne, then leaned his palms on the table and fixed his eyes on his friend. “Do you realize she’s not asking anything for herself? She’s not asking for a driver to take her from school to the theater in a limo, or another apartment because she lives on the other side of the city, she’s asking to share part of the profits and do something good for someone else. We can do a few extra nights to recover, get more sponsorship.”

“Fine... you can have your charity.” Enda rubbed his eyes.

Cillian looked at her with a pleased smile, sticking his tongue out while writing the request.

“I didn’t know I could ask for a driver.” Marianne teased in a low voice, but it was enough for Enda to hear. There was no need, she could easily move around in bus. Cillian tried to hide his smile.

“No, you can’t.” Enda leaned on the chair for support, maybe the driver was a better idea, but now it was late to suggest it.

“I would like my mom to see the play.”

“Oh for God’s sake!”

Cillian had to wipe away the tears that formed in he corner of his eyes and suppress a laugh.

“Plane ticket for mom.” He wrote down.

“Are you her manager now?”

Marianne looked at Cillian, expectation in her eyes. Another smile formed on his lips when he looked back at Enda.

“Yeah, since like... right now.”

Sighing, Enda sat on his chair across the table, he lost the battle. “I’m just going to ask you for a favor...” He managed to say after a few seconds in silence.

“Hey, you have to make the negotiation with her new manager.” Cillian raised his hand as if he was in a classroom.

“I have two more plays on hold in which I want you to participate.” Enda mumbled.

Cillian pointed his pen at him. “Give her the leading role and I will put it in her contract.”

After a nod, Enda extended his hand to Cillian, who shook it eagerly, he had an idea of what plays he was talking about and he already knew they would be a smashing hit.

“Let’s do this!” Cillian offered Marianne his hand and then pulled her for a hug.

“Thank you.” She then went to hug Enda as well, after drinking some water, he looked more relaxed now.

“Welcome dear, you’re going to love it.”

A big and inviting smile decorated her features, her eyes were sparkling as she looked between them.

Cillian asked her to find Heidi to get her measurements for the wardrobe as soon as possible. When she left the room, his eyes stayed on the door.

Enda stared at him. “It’s so good to have you back, I fucking missed you.”

Cillian nodded, suddenly the emotions were a mess inside his chest. Finally feeling some kind of relief.

Truth is, he had missed himself as well.

“Oh! By the way… are you going to cover her extra salary?”

Crossing his arms in front of him, Cillian looked at his friend with a cocky expression. “I’m going to ask her to work for me in my production company.”

2 FROM EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PLEASE

QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN || accepting !

What caused you to start writing? What was your key point?

reading and writing have always been hobbies of mine, so when i learned i could write as the fictional characters i love? with other people!? i was so down!

i don't remember what keyed me in on it, though? i used to play pretend (it was just LARPing, lbr) on the playground until i was around 11, so maybe it kinda clicked in my mind that writing was the natural next step? no clue.

Do you tell your friends / family that you write?

KINDA... i tell people i write with a community online and create "collaborative stories," but i never refer to it as rp or go in-depth unless i know that person's also done it before / is in similar fandom spaces.

Are you happy with how your favorite canon muse was portrayed in canon?

sure, i don't have any major complaints about his writing! it's consistent and fun to compare how differences in the localization shift the tone of certain character/rship-building scenes, while still managing to keep the spirit of his character intact. my only "issue" is that they could've put more time into expanding his character arc in the third act (but the same can be said for every character... a fumble all around tbh).

Have you ever written a canon muse that you first thought of ‘meh’ when they appeared in their canon show/movie/book?

NOPE! can't do it. if i'm not weird about that fictional character from the start, it's very unlikely i'll ever put the effort into forcing myself to write them. i need that click! that spark!

How do you create an OC? What are your steps for developing an OC?

i haven't developed an oc in yearssss so i'm the last person anyone should be asking. uh... (1) be a preteen, (2) develop an insane normal fictional crush, and (3) make an oc to ship them with. bam.

Who was your first OC?

i made my first in-depth oc when i was a wee 9 year old... she started out as a self-insert sonic oc that i obviously had to ship with sonic and shadow bc, duh. i also forced my cousins to make ocs so we could roleplay together lol.

i had more before that one but they were basically just vague roles i slipped into when playing pretend with my friends.

Is there any fandom you regret exploring?

can i say all of them njgnjg i think every fandom out there has its subset of annoying fans who'll make you reconsider ever interacting with anyone you haven't personally vetted lol, even if briefly. for example -- just bc of its infamy -- i never interact with sonic fans outside my circle; i've seen way too many pointless debates and shitty opinions to risk venturing out there again...

In what fandom did you start?

i am SO glad sonic was the first because the ones after it are infinitely more embarrassing.

What are your favorite ships on here (feel free to tag?)

OOO good question!!! i'll start by saying i've been rooting for break/zhilan since day 1 -- love those goobers!! other than that, i enjoy seeing any ship get together on here, like lloyd/zelos, vash/wolfwood (both iterations), nicolette/wang yi... if you're shipping with someone just now i'm hooting 'n hollering whenever they interact.

Have you ever developed a ship based on writing with a certain other character / mun?

nope, not yet! it's not that i'm against developing ships after noticing chemistry betwen muses -- far from it! -- it's just never gotten to the point where i wrote one.

What’s something you find weird on here?

i can't think of anything in particular, so... tumblr's commitment to making their layout as annoying as unoriginal and bloated as possible.

What people make you happy when you see them on the dash?

commence the taggening... you (duh), @kleinstar, @moraypower, @hollowfaith, @cladinivcry, @ultimatelifefcrm, @innerbeast, @nicawlette, @twohundredpower, @spiderstaff, @lalaluuz, ... i can't keep tagging people i'll go on forever...

Chapter 1: Growing Up in New York

I was born and raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. I grew up in a small family that included my mother, father, and oldest sister. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to grow up around my close relatives since they all live in Mexico or other states throughout the United States. Therefore, I grew up feeling alone since I never got to experience what it was like to have a close relationship with my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents compared to others who grew up with most of their family living in New York. Instead, I grew up playing with Barbie dolls, going to Fifth Avenue with my mom to run errands, and having my older sister rush after school from Park Slope to Sunset Park to pick me up from school since my parents were at work. I didn't realize when I was younger that my parents were struggling because they managed to always show up for me. Whether it was them coming to my parent-teacher conferences, school plays, or award ceremonies, I believed that as long as they showed up, I felt loved, even if they were always running on tight schedules due to work. Even as a child, I knew that I was going to grow up one day. I always told myself, “I can’t wait to grow up; I’ll be able to do what I want, and no one will stop me”. Although that sentence came true, I was not prepared to realize what that would look like as an adult.

Throughout my first 18 years of life, I was mostly introverted. I never liked to socialize with new people, not because I didn’t know them; I simply liked the idea of being alone. However, because I was a quiet person, it gave people the opportunity to make snarky comments about me, which didn’t help as a pre-teen who was already struggling with finding self-love and confidence in herself. At one point, I despised going to school. I felt like everyone around me felt the necessity to be the same as everyone else, follow the latest trends on social media, and skip classes. Although I did wish at one point to fit in with my classmates, a part of me also wanted to be my own person and do things I genuinely enjoy doing without being someone that, deep down, I’m not. I believe that a part of myself is the way I am because of the way I was raised by my mother. Growing up as the youngest daughter in a Hispanic/Latino household, my mother prohibited me from many things. I wasn’t allowed to go to movie theaters with my friends; I couldn’t be out alone after dark; and I wasn’t allowed to go out to places that were far from home. It took years for me to come out of my comfort zone and do simple things, such as going out alone to run errands. I felt closed off from the rest of the world for so long. I know my mom intended to protect me; she’s seen a lot of traumatizing events happen throughout her life, and I can see now why she would want to protect me. Yet, it cost me the inability to have a social life and to be my own person. I didn’t confront my mom about it for so long either, because all I wanted was for my mom to be proud of me and to see me as a daughter who is well-behaved and minds her business.

I reached the 8th grade finally. I was excited to leave middle school and start high school. I remember filling out my high school application and having a high school in Bay Ridge as my first option while having Sunset Park High School as my last. The last thing I wanted was to be around the people who made my life miserable for the last 3 years. Although high school felt like I had the fear of missing out, I tried to blend in and be friends with people with whom I had nothing in common. At one point, I stopped trying to blend in with everyone else and started to learn to love my own company and find the right friends so that I don’t have to force myself to be someone I’m not. It made me remember what my mom has always taught me. She had always told me “Mejor sola que mal acompañada” which translates to “better alone than with bad company”. Although I have gone through ups and downs with my mom, I realized my mom’s advice throughout the years has helped me accept myself more and not feel ashamed if I was different than everyone else.

Ahhhhh fuck it

YUIJIN RAMBLE

For those of you who are new here, this is Yujin Wei, also known as Ash, my Lego Movie Kid Oc

I have plagued my bestie of her so now I shall plague you all! Mwahahahaha!

So background

First off, she is like 4,000 years old

She comes from a noble celestial family who were once demons but gained the favor of the Jade Emperor by helping him through their Far Sight.

Far Sight is their ability to see everything all at once, from the heavens to the underworld. No one can escape their vision. And they can document everything they have seen and even use a ritual to make recordings of what they have seen and stash it away for later reference. And with this, they became the official family used for guard posts all around the world.

For Yujin here, she was kinda an outcast the moment she was born. Over the centuries, her family was ashamed of their demonic ancestry, building an image of holiness and total loyalty to the Emperor since the beginning. And with that, Yujin was more like her demonic ancestors, with her blue skin, snaggle tooth, and hug frame (she's like 7'6). It also didn't help that her silver hair would fade to a red for some inexplicable reason (workshopping that).

So she has been under their thumb since the beginning, her family trying to push her to be a more studious person focusing on researching her past relatives like her cousin. But she wanted adventure, and wanted to prove how strong she was.

After a tiff with the Princess Iron Fan (they got into an argument and it went to the fists flying stage), the Jade Emperor took notice of her and pushed her parents to let her get a job. They relented, and now she guards the Samadhi Temple.

Through this, she met Redson and essentially is an older sister to him and his companion Sol (a friends OC which I will include in her story a fair bit)

"but what about Season 3? How will the gang get things done if she's there?"

Ah, now that's where the story really starts my friend

Abilities/ Weapons:

Weapon: she has a weapon called the Ever Changing Wind which has 72 transformations to whatever she desired that she got from a friend a few millennial ago. She mostly uses it in its whip form as seen here

(yes ik this looks weird, old drawing + I cut off a bit to not show spoilers in story)

Abilities: She has fast healing, Far Sight, can glamor herself to an extent, change her height at will, and because of her lineage, she has some dormant powers that have not awakened yet that she doesn't even know about. Also she is super strong as well, lifting boulders like they are pebbles.

Relationships:

Basically a surrogate daughter to the DBK family as she has been in their employment since Redson birth, and is an older sister to Reds and Sol

She doesn't show in the main gangs stori until season 3, cause duh. So no relation there

"But does she have a partner?"

Nope! But she does have some feelings for people. On the old friends that gifted her the Ever Changing Wind in the first place actually! But she hasn't been in contact with either of them for a long time.....

Personality:

Oh the best big sis anyone can get. Shes a little alcoholic when it comes to social events or with her parents, her preferred drink of choice is diluted peach wine ;), and she is described as a badass by many

She does have a nasty side as well though, she had been known to throw the Jade Emperors personal guards around when they got a little too comfortable with their words.

But she is also a tease as well, picking on Reds in that older sister fashion. And she extremely over protective over Redson and the DBK family s a whole, which is often looked down upon by her parents because they see no need for her to be so protective over them, they gave so much more power! How could they need her when she's so weak compared to them???

(oh the irony)

She doesn't enjoy the company of her family members all that much except for her cousin Jiayin. But she's been a good guard so far, so her parents stay off her case. But her 500 year anniversary of her job is coming up, which means a new era for her to... Be pushed into essentially.

So she's very protective over her position as well, it being the only reason she's allowed out of her familys temple in the first place.

Also she's very closed off to new people a lot of the time, and not opening up until she gets to know you and your motives, which you will see why later. But if her little bro trusts them, then hell, they must be the next Messiah or smth

And that's Yujin! Let me know if you want to know more! My inbox is always open!!

JEREMIAH’S POV

I remember when I first really met Sam, when we first really became friends. We were kids, four. Tate and Conrad were hanging out by the pool. We used to look up to them, with how much older they were.

Steven and Belly were sleeping. They’d gotten into Cousins just that morning, and they were tired. I was surprised Sam wasn’t either.

She’d always been calm in the most energetic way possible. It was one of my favorite things about her, how she did everything silly on purpose, considering every consequence. Even at the age of four.

I’d been sitting inside, watching TV. Probably Monster Inc. or something, I don’t really remember. Sam had walked in and seen me laying on the couch. She saw my empty glass, and picked it up.

A few minutes later she was back. In my glass was a smoothie. I didn’t know what was in it, but she set it in front of me so I took a sip.

It’s my favorite drink in the world now. Even if she hasn’t made it for me in over three years.

I invited her to watch the rest of the movie with me, and so she sat. When we were done we ran out to the beach, building a kingdom in our eyes.

Rows and rows of sandcastles covered the stretch of the beach we owned. Sam had found shells to make windows and doors, and I’d gotten sticks as knights. The next morning, the masterpiece we’d made was washed away.

But our friendship was formed to make up for it, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

I stayed where Sam had left me for a while, until everything finally felt numb enough so I could leave. I walked down the path towards the house, recalling everything I’d said to her that night.

Sam was insecure. So incredibly insecure. She hated herself with a passion, hated her body, her figure. She hated her personality and her way of thinking. She hated every part of her that I loved.

Sam hated the way her smile turned up easily. She hated how when she ate too fast her stomach bloated, even if it was the tiniest amount. Her stomach was flat either way, but she saw things the rest of us didn’t.

When we were thirteen, the first week of the summer, Sam and I acted like we always had. During a party, I saw her with some boy. Sam had her first kiss at school. She told me about it after I told her.

When they kissed before she walked over to me, I got upset. Jealous, maybe. I don’t know. All I knew was that when she told me about things outside of Cousins, I never really registered it. Because it had to do with her, I remembered. I always did. But it never kicked in.

I knew boys in Cousins liked her. I was grouped in that category. But I’d never seen that she liked any of them back.

Over the summer I distanced myself. I did it subconsciously. I started noticing small stupid things. And only over Samantha Dupont would I ever overthink.

I started realizing my flaws and feeling insecure. Stupid things that I still hate. I play people, flirt with them. I’m scared of commitment. With Sam, I’d easily stop. I want someone who loves me like I love them, someone everything comes easily with. Sam is easy. With Sam everything is easy.

Or it was.

I insulted all her insecurities that night. I hated myself for so long because of it. And that was when I realized Sam would never love me that way, because she never did.

I closed off my heart. I wore it on my sleeve but a whole different version. The differences were subtle but there.

I would always love Samantha Dupont. No matter what I did, I’d always care about her. She was my first love, and nights like these made me convinced she would be my last.

Some souls are connected. With history, feelings, maybe even personality traits.

Sam and I are connected. We keep coming back, over and over. No matter how hard we try, we end up at the start, with each other.

I just wish she was also the end.
