#theres so much more to this scene but his lines here really stand out to me

[pencileraser1]

things i noticed/thoughts about most recent rewatches of dps (plus laserdisk deleted scenes):

whenever theres a group scene i've started watching the characters that the story isn't focusing on to see what they do and i've been having a fun time with that. pitts and cameron specifically seem to almost always be doing something interesting in the background.

hopkins!!!! my favorite minor character who somehow got character development despite having like 2 lines!!!! the last guy to stand on the desk but he did it!!!

sometimes i do like to think about what the rest of the students thought about the dead poets society, esp in alternate timeline neil lives dps keeps meeting universe. like yeah theres this guy in their class whose one of the most credited students in the school and we think he maybe started a cult. idk though. but that group runs out into the woods every few days to do god knows what and one of them keeps talking about "dead poets honor" whatever that means and holy shit welton star student neil perry started a cult.

i watched the movie with headphones. and maybe it's because ive seen this movie Far too many times and mabe i'm listening too hard but it was Really obvious sometimes when audio was added in post production. llke in the sweaty toothed madman scene when you can hear laughing and to be fair the camera is behind their heads. but it does Not look like anyone's laughing. my favorite is at the end of the phone call to chris scene where knox is like i'm gonna seize the day!! and runs up the stairs and the poets are cheering him on and neil is sort of yelling "carpe!!!!" and i could be wrong but i'm like 75% certain that the person singing is Also rsl so now neil is just speaking two times at once somehow. anyways it didn't ruin the experience for me or anything it was maybe just a little bit funny to notice but very sorry if this did ruin anyone's viewing.

people talk a lot about how rsl and ethan hawke really made their characters what they are but i have to add dylan kussman to that list. I get the impression that older versions of the movie didn't really give as much depth to cameron and watching dylan kussmans performance is like. he Knew who his character was so fucking well and it shows!! like the deleted scene of them getting clubs assigned. like i could tell So Much about cameron from that scene

for how little she actually appeared, there is an emphasis put on the fact that neil's mom smokes pretty frequently. and i think that's interesting considering neil is one of two poets shown actively smoking. neil's mom doesn't appear for very long in the movie but during that time it definitely seems like the movie is intentionally making parallels between the two, particularly in the last argument with neil's father. neil and his mother are both sitting for almost the whole time, which contrasts with his father who is standing. they are both almost powerless in this scene. they stand up at almost the same time. anyways there's a couple different possibilities for what this could mean? that i've though of? 1. to show that neil's mother is in a similar situation to the one neil is in in regards to neil's father and 2. maybe a stretch here but the theory that neil inherited his mental illness at least partially from his mother. i'm pretty sure 1 was fully intentional on the directors part, not entirely sure about 2 though

unmanned flying desket scene: it's probably cause he and ethan wrote the scene themselves but the way rsl talks in this scene feels more like the way he talks in general than the rest of the script. like briefly neil perry is talking in rsl's voice. one of my absolute favorite scenes though the sarcastic dialogue is so good.

the light of knowledge at the first shot of the film vs. todd standing on his desk at the last shot of the film paralel

#there was a whole additional part of this post that was about knox and charlies relationship with their parents #but it ended up being half of what i wrote here and i still had more to add so i'm making that a separate post #that should be posted in a few days i'm not a fast writer #neil perry #richard cameron #gerard pitts #todd anderson #dead poets society #dps

[milgram-tournament]

MILGRAM Best Song Tournament, Round 1, Match 6 ALL KNOWING AND ALL AGONY vs. TEAR DROP

Propaganda for both options under the cut!

Propaganda for AKAA:

"AKAA is wonderful song with such bitter irony, bc that doesn't look like song someone who was voted inno… And we know more about Haruka! we see his mother! AND "MAKE MY DREAMU COME TRUE"??? NO I AM NOT CRYING YOU ARE CRYING (also I should say this is first song i heard and I love AKAA so, so much <3 let's do it <3)"

---

1. It establishes so much of Haruka's character and backstory that was omitted from Weakness!! It helps shape Haruka's character so much and really helped with voting.

2.THE VOCALS OH MY GOD. This song really lets the voice of Haruka's VA shine!! It has some really nice growls but also has that soft part in the bridge!!

Overall it's just really good I love Haruka Sakurai

---

Propaganda for AKAA:

Definitely one of the most hype songs from T2

The vocals are Banging

Absolutely love the taxidermy symbolism

Haruka is a sad little puppy

Everyone stand for the Mommy Issues Athem 🫡

Propaganda for TEAR DROP:

"yuno kashiki enthusiast here anyways tear drop propaganda WE BALL

let's start off with the lyrics! holy fuck, i'm so glad yuno finally got to say what she's wanted to say!!

and she fully shows the fact that she does compensated dating through the lyrics ("the wanted wanting the wanted")

and even if it sounds like she's scolding the audience for the song, she's also scolding her clients! they only perceive her as a certain type of character and deciding that's all she is. She's upset that we decided based on how "naïve" she looked instead of her actual crime (to be honest, I could write a whole analysis into why her murder is perfect for her character anywa) and she doesn't care what will happen to her, she needs her opinions heard

also kinda rap section?? banger fr

THE VISUALS!! GOOD LORD THE VISUALS!!! THEY ARE SO BANGER!!! they're really pretty and gosh i literally don't know what to say, the scene where vampire is in the background and it transitions to yuno sitting on her bed... the pink tinted glasses (YES FUCK I LOVE THAT MAN!!!!) THE COAT!! THOSE INBETWREN SCENES i'm obbing

AND THE INSTRUMENTAL!! PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU ALL LISTEN TO THE INSTRUMRNTAL OF HER SONG THERES SO MANY SMALL DETAILS!! SIRENS, TEAR DROPS RAHHH THE CLAPS/CLICKING TJE TECHNO PIANO GUITAR??? THE INSTRIMENTS I CANT NAME I THINK THEY ALL HAVE SOME READON OF BEING IN THE SONG AND I WILL FIND OUT IN AN ANAKYSIS POST I JUDT LOVE IT AUEUEU

literally tear drop is the banger ever i listen to this shit religiously thank you for listening to my tear drop propaganda"

---

-Yuno’s voice. Enough said. -The imagery in the MV is brilliantly used, and doesn’t shy away from the horrors of Yuno’s line of work. -Vampire cameo!!! -Almost Lo-Fi vibes to the instrumental?? I can’t really explain it but it’s a vibe and I’m 100% here for it,

---

"For teardrop: The pink aesthetic in the MV as a whole makes it super nice to look at :D"

#milgram #milgramtournament #yuno kashiki #kashiki yuno #haruka sakurai #sakurai haruka #sorry for the delay!

[pacifymebby]

What about the peaky blinders and the actress’s wife? Maybe they met her at one of her performances in the theater?

So i wasnt sure how to do this at first but it was actually very fun and i loved it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Tommy

🌿After the Changrettas are gone and there is peace, Tommy tries to take a holiday. But theres nothing can bring him peace, hes bored, golf and fishing are both dull, they give him too much time to think of things hes trying to forget.

🌿He expects the theatre to be just as bad, has predicted he'll last about ten minutes but

🌿When you walk on stage during the third scene you take his breath away

🌿Suddenly hes really concentrating... He might only be concentrating on you but thats still something.

🌿He cant take his eyes off you for a second, youre not just pretty, you're an angelic kind of beautiful.

🌿The play is romeo and juliet, you are juliet and when your final scene comes you bring the heartless Tommy Shelby to tears.

🌿Not that he lets anyone else see them.

🌿Afterwards he finds out your name, does his research, and sends you a letter telling you that youve sparked an interest for him in the performing arts, invites you to teach him all about the theatre

🌿Then he pulls the usual Tommy tricks, wines and dines you, kisses you... Fucks you... But hes not just playing tricks, youve given him light and interest where there was once nothing but an aching hole...

🌿You become his new obsession and he attends every performance, helps you learn your lines, visits you in your dressing room before and after every show.

🌿Sometimes he watches you from the wings and you feel his intense stare on you at all times. It makes you shiver but you love it.

Alfie

🐻 He has always been partial to the opera, he says the sad ones touch his tired old heart.

🐻 He first sees you when you're singing in ..... You capture his heart completely.

🐻 He asks to see you after the show and, because he's Alfie he is taken straight to you

🐻Youre a little surprised when you recognise the man who is standing in your dressing room doorway. You know exactly who he is and for a second you're frightened... Which Alfie picks up on and

🐻 Doesnt immediately put you out of your misery

🐻 Hes a lot more polite, almost gentlemenly towards you and you beging to relax a little

🐻Then he goes on this rant about how "that here performance right, in all long and wellllll lets face it - wasted - years in this frankly disgusting little city...i aint never heard an aria sung so angelic... And see I'm passionate right, passionate about music yeah... So i reckon I'd know..."

🐻 His speech makes you blush deeper the longer it goes on

🐻 "Sorry i ain't got you no flowers Miss, I'll bring double next time alright?"

🐻And he does, he watches every pergormance, sends you flowers to your dressing room, meets you with even more flowers after your performance.

🐻Likes all the costumes a lot, he likes touching the soft silk, feeling how delicate you are...

🐻Eventually actually asks if he can take you out, on a date, you kind of know you should refuse, that getting involved with dangerous gangsters is a bad idea, but something about Alfie, his theatrics and melodrama has really captured your imagination.

🐻Brags about you to everyone, especially Tommy.

🐻 Has you sing to him while youre in the bath together, you wrap your legs around him and wash his hair whilst you give him his own private performances

Arthur

🍂 Is grumbling about attending the theatre with Tommy, doesn't have the attention span, doesnt think hes smart enough to understand these things

🍂"These places Tommy, they aint for the likes of you and me..." "Now now Arthur, we've earnt our right to be here just like everybody else..." but Arthur thinks Tommys just trying to kid on that the family is moving up in the world...

🍂Arthur is still chuntering away to himself when the play begins. Its Shakespeare, one of the comedies and he feels a little out of place when some of the crowd laugh at jokes which have gone over his head

🍂But he begins to relax into it, finds himself enjoying it, laughing just as loud as everyone else.

🍂That might have something to do with the pretty girl playing several roles, who keeps coming on stage in different costumes, behaving like a totally new person each time. Arthurs fascinated by you and afterwards when Tommy and himself are invited back stage to meet the cast, Arthur barely says a word to the lead actors because his mind is set only on you

🍂When he finds you youre in your dressing room and he gives you a fright for which he immediately apologises.

🍂 "m sorry sweetheart didnt mean tk frighten you like... Just wanted to compliment you on your performance"

🍂At that you're completely stunned because you werent playing a lead role and no ones ever come back stage to do that before. Arthur is confused too, he wants to know why you arent out greeting people like the rest of the cast, when you explain that your role is only small and no one usually wants to meet you, he is shocked.

🍂 "Nah thats not right, you were the most important person on that stage..." he genuinely cant get his head around your apparent lack of confidence, you laugh and say hes being very sweet... Which makes him blush.

🍂 Hes fascinated by the whole acting thing, has loads of questions for you, thinks its incredible how you can just become someone else... This is a skill which deep down he craves to master, because of all his demons he wishes he could be someone else, the fact that you can become a whole new person so quickly gives him a naïve hope.

🍂 He thinks youre so fucking clever

🍂He comes to all your performances, doesnt always understand them, says he likes it best when youre in the funny ones, not the sad ones... He doesnt like seeing you sad even if its just pretend.

John

🌼 Similar to Arthur, hes not sure the theatre is really somewhere for the likes of him... Hes expecting it to be boring or too serious. He's only going because Tommy says it would be rude for them to turn down the invite.

🌼Its his Aunt Pol he really pisses off, she tells him of how some of the best actresses come from their very own gypsy blood. This is really what piques his interest and males him feel more comfortable.

🌼 But he is bored, hes bored the whole of the first act and Tommy has to force him back into his seat when he tries to leave.

🌼But you come on in the second half and suddenly he's interested.

🌼 "Fuckin 'ell why didnt they bring her on sooner"

🌼 Hes not been paying attention so he's got no idea who your character is or what shes doing, but he does think youre amazing.

🌼Is it because you're talented or does he just fancy you? You are talented but Johns awe is definitely fuelled by your looks.

🌼 Hes taken in by thr glitter and glamour of the theatre, of how pretty you look shimmering on the stage like a true starlet.

🌼 Tommy and his family dont return to thr theatre for awhile, but John starts going in secret, sitting alone, admiring and slowly falling in love with you

🌼 One day the theatre managers approach him, they know who he is and invite him to tour the theatre. Hes not really interested but when they mention he may get to meet the cast or see them in rehearsal, he changes his mind and agrees.

🌼When he does meet you its "accidental" he accidentally loses his tour guide and gets lost. He bumps into you and actually gets shy. Which is very unlike him. Up close youre more beautiful than ever... When he realises hes said that out loud he goes red.

🌼But you just smile and make a light hearted, maybe flirtatious joke out of it... "So are you Mr Shelby..."

🌼 He isn't found by his tour guide until youre finished with one another, the attraction is imediate and you tske him to your dressing room to fuck.

🌼 Its you who tells him you want, no need to see him again.

🌼After that he comes to you all the time. You have a lot of risky backstage sex.

🌼When youre trying to learn lines you ask for his help and he tries, but he ends up getting bored and distracting you.

Bonnie

🍀The Golds have followed the crows south to Cornwall which is where he meets you

🍀Theres a tradition in cornwall of outdoor theatre performances. Sunset on the jagged cliff edges, the crowd gather and sit on blankets on the rocks, they drink wine and ale and watch a plethora of performances. Dances, plays, musical concerts.

🍀Bonnies seen similar he supposes, when families gather together for celebrations, hes seen plays and music before... But not like this... Never as stunning as these.

🍀He stumbled upon the performance accidentally, he'd been on a walk over the hills, looking out for seals and dolphins in the water down below, when he'd heard the rabble of an audience and their applause.

🍀He hovers at the back of the crowd, climbs up a tree to sit and watch the performance unnoticed by anyone below. Except you.

🍀You look up half way through a line and catch sight of him in the tree, he's so relaxed, just sitting up there with his peaky cap on and the sight seems so absurd that you laugh mid line and have to stifle the giggle.

🍀He shoots you a wink but he doesnt think you see it.

🍀He watches you, the sunset behind you lighting you up like a firey angel, its a blazing, heavenly sight. You look as though you have the light of god shining out of you and its beautiful. Hes in awe.

🍀After when the crowds are dispersing he waits to climb down from his perch. He goes down to the "stage" when everyone is away, he's curious and he wants to look around.

🍀Whilst hes down there he starts imagining how theatrical and amazing one of his fights would look on that stage. If they had a ring down there. He starts practicing his moves, light on his feet, too caught in his daydream to notice you

🍀You take him by surprise, "Should have known you were a dancer," you tease making him jump and blush, he's embarrassed to be caught, especially by you.

🍀"A boxer... midlands welterweight champion actually," he feels silly when he admits it with a proud smile and you giggle.

🍀"Well mister midlands welterweight champion... Right now it looks like youre dancing on my stage..."

🍀He likes how cheeky you are and you flirt back and forth a little while before he asks why you only perform down here on the rocks, why you dont go to London to perform in the fancy theatres there... He tells you you'd be famous if you did, a pretty girl like you with all that talent.

🍀You blush and smile and get a little shy, you had all the confidence in the world 3 seconds ago when the two of you were teasing one another but now he looks so serious, his eyes full of admiration.

🍀"Not as romantic is it, London... Down here you feel like there's the angels watching you too..." it sounds silly when you say it like that but Bonnie thinks its sweet.

🍀He tells you about his boxing, how he's gonna be champion of the world one day and you listen, admiring his drive and passion. You think its amazing he believes in himself that much.

🍀"Well Bonnie Gold, when you're champion of the whole world you'd better make time to come and see me still from time to time" you kiss his cheek and he beams, lights up completely. Promises he will.

🍀Although his family move on eventually, he spends the whole time he's camped near you, with you. He has you teach him everything you know, you teach him how to fake cry and remember lines and he teaches you a little of his boxing skills too.

🍀He wishes he could take you with him when he leaves but he makes sure to return to you whenever he can.

🍀One day when hes in london for a fight he passes a theatre with your name in lights above the door. He uses his peaky credentials to get inside where he bursts in on your rehearsal, he's beaming with pride and is also very happy, now he will always know where to find you.

🍀With him a famous boxer and you a famous actress, youre a star couple, people recognise you when youre about which Bonnie loves. Whenever you wish for peace and quiet though he takes you away with him to travel awhile with his family.

Isaiah

🐀He's never set foot in something as posh as a theatre before and he has no intention of it. The theatres for toffs.

🐀But then he meets you at a bar one night and when he asks what you do and he finds out your an actress, his interest in the arts begins to grow.

🐀He tries to steal a kiss from you that night at the Garrisson but you stop him, teasing him you tell him you'll only kiss him if he comes to see your show.

🐀So reluctantly he drags finn to the theatre with him one night to watch you.

🐀The theatre is so fancy that both boys feel out of place. Their peaky caps mean that no one messes with them though and they even get given the best seats in the house.

🐀When youre on stage youre trying not to be distracted by the thought he might be in the audience. Every night that week youve waited and he hasnt come. Tonights the last night and youre worried he won't show. That you'll never get to kiss your peaky boy.

🐀But when you take to the stage after the final scene you hear his voice - unmistakable Birmingham accent among the cheers of the well to do - and you feel your heart rush. You see hes with a friend, both of them shouting and cheering for. you in the most unconventional of ways.

🐀Its sweet though and when you go to meet Isaiah out in the auditorium to sneak him back stage, you delight in teasing him.

🐀"You know youre supposed to bring an actress flowers after her performance..." you say tsking at him. Youre only messing though, you just wanted to see the cocky boy falter.

🐀And then you almost feel bad because hes sheepishly admitting to you that he didnt know, that hes never been to the theatre before, this was his first time...

🐀That much was obvious to you from the way him and his friend cheered for you.

🐀"Well..." you say before standing on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek, "youd better not make it your last..."

🐀"That depends love, will i get another kiss if i come back tomorrow?"

🐀He actually travels to see you perform again, he has to go up to Manchester to see you, but he does... He can't believe himself for doing it, but thats how he knows you must be something real special for him.

🐀Eventually you settle at one of the theatres in London, a resident actress, your name up in lights. Isaiah begs tommy to let him move and do Peaky Business in London, but he keeps secret his real reason for moving... His very own starlet with her name up in lights.

Michael

☘️ He's been to the theatre many times before and knows exactly how to behave. Back when he was Henry, he used to love going to the theatre but now hes Michael Gray and hes got more important things to do

☘️Still hes a man who likes fine things and the theatre is a luxury hes proud to afford,so he goes regularly, just to show people he can.

☘️Hes had his eye on you for quite some time but hasnt had the balls to talk to you

☘️In then end he does something overly elaborate almost on a level with some of Tommys plans... He hosts the after party for the performance at Tommys mannor.

☘️He is so overly attentive when it comes to managing the party and making sure everything will he perfect.

☘️On the evening of the party youre looking more beautiful than ever and Michael is feeling nervous... Not that he'll admit that to anyone else. You know that as one of the leading ladies its your job to thank him for being such a wonderful host and when you go to him he suddenly regrets not going to you first.

☘️No small part of him is a little bit pleased with himself that you choose to come up to him though, especially when you thank him for being so generous to the theatre company.

☘️He stands there looking like a classic gentlemen, he takes your delicate hand and raises it to his mouth, kissing it lightly. When he holds eye contact and says "its all for you," you die.

☘️You fall for his charms ever so quickly, and michael makes lots of generous donations to the theatre company to impress you. He brings you fancy gifts, glamourous dresses, sparkling jewellery, pearl necklaces...

☘️ Sees it as a status symbol, being with a famous actress and he loves to take you to the most fancy restaurants between shows. After a Sunday Matinee he takes you to dinner, wines and dines you and then takes you dancing in one of his cousins fancier establishments.. He enjoys noticing the paparazzi taking photos of the two of you together.

☘️ Likes to fuck you in your dressing room, fantasises about taking you on the stage, not in front of an audience but with the heat of the stage lights shining on you as he fucks you rough.

☘️When he marries you your wedding makes the front page and he is extremely proud. Youre a power couple, always courting the fame. Youre glamourous and stylish and always seen in the most fashionable establishments.

☘️He will make you learn your lines and has lots of different methods of helping you, some kinkier than others.

☘️Likes to watch your rehearsals and then "punish" you later if you forget a line or missed a que. He wants to help you be completely perfect.

[pjisskullourful]

hey my gorgeous ones!

so my funk is continuing(hoofuckinray). theres just some shit going on in my personal life& the emotional fatigue has bled into creative constipation& im really struggling to get much of anything written. i've switched off commissions for the moment, just wanting to take it a bit easy on myself while im trying to get back on my bullshit

as a please-dont-hate-me for the delays that are ongoing, here is the first almost 2k of chapter 25 of stained sheets. its all i have sofar, there are two whole more scenes to write so i genuinely cant say when you'll be getting it

thanks for any patience& understanding you swing my way. stay selfishly happy my thotties

You paused from closing the fly on your high-waisted pants - you had been trying on the outfit you wanted to wear to dinner tonight, but something had caught your eye, distracting you.

A jagged, dark line reached up from just above the waistband of your underwear. This stretch mark was brand new to your eyes. It hit you like an actual wound, your gut twisting and your mind racing.

As your throat clenched, you stopped caring about checking that your choice of outfit was cute or not. You hated this intruder on the side of your tummy. This new line was a failure on your part, maybe if you weren’t so lazy, or spent less time playing video games, you could have avoided gaining another mark in your ugly collection. You were frozen with the top of your pants in your hands.

How long had this mark been on your body? Had Damiano seen it - what did he think when he looked at it?

This was supposed to be a fun day - the day before Easter, and some friends of his were hosting a dinner that would end in an egg hunt through their garden. You were going to be meeting more of the people he had grown up with. But most importantly, you were getting to spend the whole weekend with him, there hadn’t been many of those so far this year. There was no Måneskin-business to take him out of the country, he was just your boyfriend this weekend.

You didn’t want to waste any of this precious time with your insecurities. You wished you hadn’t seen the line, because it hadn’t been as simple as noticing it. You were having a full reaction to it. The change of mood inside of you was almost a tangible sensation.

You didn’t know how to resolve it, you just knew that you wanted the unpleasantness to stop. Your  solution was to physically move away from it. You undressed without completing the try-on process, so desperate to walk away and pretend this negativity didn’t exist. You just needed to refresh yourself and then you would be able to get back on the right track.

“I’m gonna have a shower.” You loudly announced without knowing if he actually heard you. He might be outside having a cigarette, or otherwise occupied too far from the bedroom.

You went into the bathroom and stopped at the vanity, pulling your hairbrush out of a draw. You took your hair down and started brushing through any tangles. Standing in front of the wide mirror, it wasn’t easy to keep your concentration on your hair. Your eyes wanted to wander, to find other flaws in the reflection to tear yourself apart over.

Until you were given the perfect distraction. Your boyfriend came into the room, his figure filling the reflection behind you. He was dressed in only a pair of underwear, wearing a festive headband on top of his short hair. It was enough to make you smile, even though you had to feign annoyance.

“Take those off.” You said as sternly as you could manage.

“You got it, baby.” He said, promptly taking his briefs off.

You were amused, even as you rolled your eyes. You turned your back on the mirror, more than happy to put all of your attention on him. “I meant the bunny ears and you know it.”

The fuzzy rabbit ears remained fixed on his head as he furrowed his brow. “I’m confused, do you want me to put the underwear back on?”

“Damiano.” You warned, but this only resulted in getting him to say your name back to you, in a sing-songy way, delivered with a positively devilish smile. “I never should have let you take the ears from my office…”

His eyes grew wide and he pointed an accusing finger at you. “You were the one who took them.”

You let this unserious discussion progress, exaggerating your shock. “How dare you accuse me.”

“No, how dare you. I was just there to pick you up from work. You were the one who pulled them out of the cute little window display and put them on my head.” He said.

“I didn’t think you were going to walk out still wearing them. And I was kind of distracted, I was working.” You added to his recollection. “Now you must take them off before they get stretched or broken ‘cause I’ve gotta put them back, they’ll probably be part of next year’s Easter display.”

He resisted, still. “I like them. You have to agree that they look better on me than they did in the window.”

“I agree.” You said. “Now take them off.”

The thing that was stopping you from simply snatching the accessory off of him, was the knowledge of how getting too close to him would change this situation entirely. He could physically overpower you in an instant and any illusion of you having some control would be banished.

“You can ask nicer than that, kitty.” He said, very clearly enjoying this teasing.

“Can you please take the ears off for me, please and thank you.” You said, even clasping your hands together in front of yourself to further sell it.

He cocked his head to the side. “I didn’t hear a single word you said. It’s kinda hard to hear you over all of those clothes you’re wearing.”

You reminded yourself how much you enjoyed being called a ‘good girl’ as inspiration to help you bite back any sarcastic comments. You even resisted the urge to roll your eyes.

You removed the two items that you were wearing - a bra and a pair of panties. You cupped your hands to either side of your mouth and spoke at a much higher volume. “Can you hear me now?”

He smiled and nodded. “Yes, did you have a request for me or something?”

“Can you please take those ears off for me, please?” You asked.

“Why, of course I can.” He said, plucking the accessory off of his head. “Here you go.”

You snatched it out of his hand, holding it securely in both of yours. “I’m gonna find someplace to hide these from you.”

“I can’t imagine why you would think that’s necessary. I’ll get the shower started while you do that, shall I?”

This made you pause from leaving the room. “Oh, you’re joining me?”

“Yeah, unless that’s not okay? I thought we should shower together, to save water.” He said.

You smirked. “To save water. Yep, that’s fine.”

You carried the confiscated item over to where you kept your work bag. It was enough to put it into your bag and shut the zipper. If he pulled it out of there he would be in the wrong - you’d both know it, and any argument would be in your favour.

When you returned to the bathroom, it was to find him standing under the stream of water. You were further distracted from your earlier issues as you admired how great he looked when soaking wet.

He turned his head and smiled at the sight of you, beckoning you in with a curling of his finger. You stepped in, sliding the door shut behind yourself. You shouldn’t have been surprised when he was instantly drawing you in for kisses, his hands cradling your face. There were times when the two of you could share a focused shower, spending as much time washing yourselves as you did making out.

But the look he had given you had indicated that this wasn’t the case for today. You linked your arms around his waist, indulging in this as the noise of the persistent water blocked out everything else. You felt how easy it would be to melt as his mouth worked tenderly against yours.

His hands left your face, slowly moving down to where the water had already reached. He started to kiss his way off of your mouth, his lips pressing against your chin before going lower. You couldn’t help arching your back into him as his lips worked across your throat. This was the closeness that you absolutely ached for when he was away, showers (like pretty much everything else) were so dull without him.

But -

“I need to wash my hair. This shower was supposed to have purpose.” You said.

He stopped what he was doing to look up at you. “Nobody’s stopping you from washing your hair. Look, I’ll even help. I’ve got lots of time to help with washing your hair these days.”

“I could return the favour and use my volumising shampoo on your hair.” You said of his well maintained buzzcut.

He wore a deadpan expression, blinking at you. “Hilarious. I swear, you’ve missed your calling in life. You shouldn’t be doing admin work- stand-up comedy, that’s where you should be. Netflix would give you a special so fast.”

“Because I’m a special girl.” You said as he let go of you to grab the shampoo bottle.

The intimacy wasn’t totally lost in this process. The two of you remained standing very close together (even though there was ample room for each of you in here) and you took every opportunity to touch him.

When he began to massage the shampoo into your scalp, you could have let out a moan of pleasure. You shut your eyes and soaked up every second of his attentiveness. His fingers slowly dragging across your scalp was the only thing that you needed right now.

“Stop making that face.” He said, his voice so stern that your eyes instantly snapped open, you were practically ready to apologise at once. “That’s a sex face and if you keep it up you’re gonna get me hard, which isn’t the purpose of this shower, right?”

You almost began giggling, you covered your face with both of your hands. “I didn’t mean to. I, I guess I was enjoying myself a little too much.”

“I’ll say.”

You parted your fingers to peek at him. “Did I really do a sex face?”

“Oh, yes. If you want me to get specific- it was your edging face. When I see that face I know that I’m doing it right and your brain is getting all empty.” He said before instructing you to tilt your head back under the stream of water.

As he rinsed all of the product out of your hair, you physically cringed. “Oh my God, I hope I don’t make that face when they’re washing my hair at the hairdressers.”

“Relax baby, I’m the only one who knows that face is linked to naughtiness.” He said.

You tried your best to stay in constant awareness, and control, over your facial expressions as he conditioned your hair. The lack of massaging on your scalp kept you from that floaty feeling.

“What do you think, is that up to your standards?” He asked, losing the careful look on his face that he had been wearing during this task.

You tested his work by running your fingers through the ends of your hair. “It feels perfect. Thank you, Daddy.” You reached out to tap the end of his nose.

i just finished reading wildfire and theres this scene where theyre playing truth or dare and the main character gets dared to give the other a lapdance and now i CANT stop thinking ab this with the f1 boys ahjdhfkshasjhl like daniel would def dare u to give max or lando one and hes so smug the whole time grinning at whichever boy who is clearly trying so hard to stay calm and not cum in his pants in front of the other drivers jfksdsd

no bc i love maxiel sm and i thought ab driver reader when i read ur ask so here we go!

they def tell each other everything so daniel knows max has a crush on reader (like who doesn’t realistically?) bc max told him one night when they were drunk and sharing a hotel room. now, they’ve all come back from the club. they were tired of being around so many people, so many strangers, but not in need of sleep. the rooftop is technically supposed to be closed off for private events, but the door was unlocked so they propped it open with the attached door stopper and made their way to the outdoor sofas in the corner. it’s the usual group of six; reader, max, daniel, oscar, lando, and charles, that all go up to the rooftop after reader’s the one who suggests it, and they all agree to the game of truth or dare when she suggests that too. they’ll do anything she asks of them, even if it means trouble.

no one picks truth at any point, so they’re all daring each other to do stupid things. eventually, max would dare daniel to do something really stupid like call an ex that he misses. daniel doesn’t back down from the dare and it luckily goes to voicemail. daniel of course goes for revenge when it’s his turn and he dares reader to give max a lap dance. he knows she’s more than comfortable doing it, to any one of them, but max especially because she knows they all have crushes on her in some way, and max most of all. none of them will make a move bc she’s a fellow driver and they have too much respect for her, so she gets drunk on the power she feels when she toes the line between flirty and friendly with any of them before reeling it in. she’d act coy at first and say she couldn’t do it without music, and as if on queue charles would turn on some sexy music only he’d know the words to.

she’d slide off the couch and onto her knees then crawl across the roof to max, who would be glaring at daniel, trying not to blush or breathe or do anything that might give away how he feels about her. he doesn’t even want to look at her when she’s finally in front of him but she places her hands on his knees and stands up slowly, and max can’t take his eyes off her. daniel just watches as max stares stupidly at his crush giving him a lap dance.

max is in a complete daze, his eyes are stinging from a lack of blinking but he doesn’t want to look away from her ass right above his crotch. and then he’s thinking of awful things to try and not cum in his pants, thinks about the time he was left a gas station, the first time he lost a race.

then, as the last notes of the song rang out, she crawled onto his lap and brushed her nose against his and he’s lost in the feeling of her touching him after hovering over him for the last four minutes. before he knows what’s happening, she’s giggling and pulling away like her just as he was leaning in to kiss her and flopping back down next to daniel across from him like it didn’t even happen.

Season 6 of stargate feels weird. I'm on episode 21. I've really enjoyed the plotlines, they're some of the most interesting and creative so far, but it's the small stuff that's starting to bother me.

It was first in the intro when Richard Dean Anderson gets twice as much time as anyone else (~11s vs 5-6s for Tapping, Judge, and Nemec, plus a single shot for Davis), and so many of these plots center around him in almost an unnatural way. He feels like the main character much more than previously, but without Daniel to keep him grounded his arrogance is starting to get annoying. I enjoyed his writing in season 5, they wrote him a lot of jokes and I laughed at a lot of them, but here he just comes off as brash.

Now I actually enjoy Daniel's "death" and how he'll come back now and again and comfort his friends (E6, "Abyss" & E19, "The Changeling"). I like Jonas too! I wholeheartedly enjoy what they're doing with this. But Daniel was always the one to keep Jack in check. (Thinking specifically about Reese in S05E19 "Menace.") Now without Daniel's strong opposing voice, it feels like no one stands up to Jack when he says something wildly undiplomatic, and I don't like his dumb ass being left out alone like that. They kept each other in check and I believe their banter was a large part of what made the show so good.

Then there's these romance subplots. It seems like every other episode Jonas and Carter are falling in love with some random alien, but its been multiple times this season! Not to mention that oh-so-forced creepy scientist guy in this season's premiere episodes. Previously it was just that Tok'ra dude and a bit of O'Neill, now it's everyone? Why is this happening? It feels so out of place.

Even if the directorial staff hasn't seemed to have changed, and RDA has been an executive producer for several seasons now, (so his larger part likely isn't directly because of him) things are clearly changing, and I'm unsure if I like them all the way.

I'm really enjoying these plotlines, but theres a lot now that's feeling just... too convienent. I can't really give a good example but a lot of things don't feel as natural anymore. My suspension of disbelief isn't being sufficiently upheld like it has been in past seasons. For example, I just watched a scene where O'Neill, Carter, and Teal'c all stand in a perfect line in front of Jonas (whose much more animated and natural, might I add) and talk at him. Nothing about this line feels natural and their dialog feels... weird.

But such is television - sometimes real world bureaucracy and internal politics have more of an effect on a show's content than the actual crew.

Anyways. Let Dom DeLuise back on the show and have him meet John de Lancie, either as Q or Col. Simmons idc either way thanks bye

Chara is the one who resets a true pacifist run||theory

just want to put it out there, i am not a “Chara bad guy” believer, but i do have a more diffrent stance on them then most players || Im a undertale fanatic who has played the game wayyy to many times to not theorize about certain things that have taken place in the game or things hinted at. Mostly every theory possible for undertale though that actually makes sense has already been done though, so, something struck me when i was once again like usual resetting a pacifist timeline to play the game all over again to try and get another fun value. This scene particularly where you boot up the game and flowey trys to get you to not reset at the very end of it.

At first, brushed it off. Anybody who has watched the “Who is the true Villain of undertale” video on the stance of where chara is in terms of morals will remember it being seen as Flowey saying just a goodbye to Chara but the entire other part of the entire conversation was suppost to be for.. us ?? The player? Which would be such a curve ball to throw and a change of what the entire thing was hinting. for him to do a full 180 and immediately change who hes talking to wouldnt make sense. . What would make more sense is if he truely was talking to Chara through out the entire conversation, it wouldnt stand out so much if he called the person chara through out that entire conversation. It was meant to stand out by him saying it at the very end, when he didnt need to say the chara part at the end at all if he really was referring to us the ��player!  Theres more evidence then usually seen of him really talking to chara and not the ‘player’ during the whole thing, anybody who has seen the winter clock anniversary will see him acting rude and still very much so murdery in how he talks towards Frisk, (now he does seem to have those little moments though dont get me wrong! He defiently had improved)  And he right here, is still a flower so wouldnt he be acting rude again if he does later on? Well if he is talking to Chara his best friend, he wouldnt talk rudely to them, he doesnt talk rudely to who he believes to be Chara at the genocide route at Asgores castle. now about the whole “player” theory regarding Undertale, Undertale is a game with very obvious hints and lores that do really fit nicely together as if it were a puzzle, and if us the player truely was canon to the game there would be alot more hints, the only hint at all is when flowey during the exact same conversation about not resetting the world and referring to Chara at the end is before he saids Chara’s name, he always saids “You”,  Deltarune is a game where the player really does have many more hints and things along those lines to be theorized about! And they fit very nicely and are alot more clues, so why in Undertale is there really only one thing hinting at it? And you can even brush it off as it NOT hinting at us and is once again hinting at Chara! Hes showing that he knows Chara really is there, his best friend Theres alot more hints regarding it being chara aswell, a character in the Genocide Route who gives us the option to erase or to not, Flowey mentions the word “Erase” a good amount when referring to resetting the world

please know not all of these are in order ) Put in the context of Chara being a character who is associated with erasing the timeline, it connects nicely to think this is another hint at it being Chara who he is talking to. Its not frisk 

Flowey out right saids it.  The other part of it being Chara who is the one who truely does Reset or Erase the timeline even in pacifist run makes sense thanks to once again the Genocide route, once you complete it and reset. Chara ruins any pacifist ending attempted. Showing they DO remember the resets, they remember what Frisk (i shall not be referring to player as the one lore wise who does the genocide, specially sense in narration, Frisk is narrated to be showing violent tendencies like stepping roughly on Monster kid or showing no emotion during sans’s joke meaing they are infact the ones doing it,) They remember what frisk had done in the genocide route, despite it being erased or reset, a true reset. now why would it matter if it was a normal reset or true reest? well, Every time a true reset is done no deja vu of previous events remains, characters dont get deja vu of you until a normal reset is done once again and they have met you. Frisk shows no sign aswell of knowing the characters. If you kill toriel and reset afterwards Toriel will say “Wait.. why are you looking at me like that? As if you have seen a ghost? Do you know something i do not?” keep in mind, this was during a normal reset! Not a true reset, you have not finished the game. So frisk (who has determination) remembers what had happened. (and no this dialogue will not play again if you had killed toriel previously but did a true reset after finishing the true pacifst) But when a true reset is done Frisk shows no memory at all of any type of deja vu, no having killed toriel, no being bored at mettatons preformance, and no turning around before sans tells you to. But Chara remembers, Chara remembers even true resets as previously mentioned when Frisk had done the genocide route and had then if picked done pacifist and the ending is ruined because of Chara not letting them get away with it. The reason its so important for Chara to remember a true reset and Frisk to not is because of Flowey. Flowey is a character who has done genocide probably countless times before and has done what were probably true resets aswell afterwards, sense nobody has deja vu of him. This shows thats who ever is the one who does the TRUE reset (not a normal reset, as anybody with determination will remember them like flowey) will remember what had happened before in the other timeline but nobody else even if they have determination will Chara is awoken by Frisks determination as stated at the end of a genocide route, and after Frisk during a true pacifist run had left the underground, all that determination remain with chara.. And Chara who is still stuck in the underground with Flowey, is now the most determind being in the underground, as Frisk is up on the surface and Flowey’s determination doesnt compare to Frisks nor Charas at all. Chara is awoken by Frisks determination its safe to assume that Chara, being a determination soul themself before there death would latch onto the determination Frisk had not intended to wake them up with.They are the most detemind one in the underground, they are left with the power of true reset after Frisks leave. So, Chara is the one flowey is talking to at the end of the pacifist run and is NOT the player who isnt canon to the undertale lore. Frisk does not remember timelines after a true reset is done but Chara does. But leads one question left WHY does Chara do a true reset sense its so hinted at now that its them who does it at the true pacifist run??  Honestly this is where the interpretations truely come in with how you view Chara as a whole, did they do it to try and get a better run where they really can save Asriel? Did they just pull a us move and get curious about what other stuff could happen? Or even eviler motives??  Thats really something i cant figure out as Chara is such a vague character. This theory which i do believe to be correct, really does open a good amount of theorys, aus, and lots of stuff!  I havent seen this thoery done so getting it spread around would be very much appreciated with reblogs! Likes are appreciated but they dont do anything at spreading my content  Please reblog to spread this theory :D edit - wasnt appearing in tags

o also now that ive finished my main party's stories here are my initial review <- not very structured and possibly wrong

ochette: her character and story play into a lot of indigenous stereotypes and her being the darkest-skinned character does not help that. i really like her design and gameplay and even a lot of her story/character but its just impossible to look past that because its most of it.

particio: unfortunately as someone from Cowboy Country i have a worm in my brain that makes me like him a lot. his story is paint by numbers "The Wrong Capitalists Are In Charge" which gets pretty irritating, however i still had a lot of fun with it and his character and also the final boss fight is my second favorite so far because holy shit you have to fight a train and it has the same battle mechanic as the final boss of ot1 that is so funny

throné: her character is really undercut by her being the Designated Sexy One which is just frustrating because unlike primrose i really like her and i want her to be allowed to be interesting. she's good most of the time and the story is pretty close to being good but she's not really allowed to develop as a character at all and a lot of it feels like she's just being led around by the story so she can stand there while people exposit at her about her family background which she and i am annoyed by everyone demanding she take seriously and then a boss fight happens. also her character design is the worst of all the protagonists which is stupid because the thief outfit is not difficult to make cute which i know because they did it in 1. you could say her not having much of a character outside of not wanting to be an assassin is because her trauma and situation prevents her from being allowed to develop a life outside of her desire for freedom and the theme of her story is that you can never really "escape" therefore is not bad characterization but thats a boring answer which makes for a climax that feels weak on accident instead of being bittersweet on purpose and especially since ot2 has characters interacting with each other i want the more fleshed out version of when a couple of the ot1 characters talk with therion about what his life could have been like if he had been in their profession instead where you get a glimpse of what his life could have been and might eventually be(where's the crossed paths where casttia recognizes that as an assassin she knows a lot about anatomy and offers to train her as an apothecary and theres a line about her finally getting used to the scent of blood when she's treating someone's wound and that family connection thing was elaborated on by giving her a mentor figure who actually cares about her. where's the crossed paths where ochette teaches her how to hunt for food and forage for raspberries and throné gets to experience being a part of the natural circle of life instead of feeling like she's only ever allowed to destroy things. wheres the crossed paths where particio and she finally go on that shopping trip and she gets a fun new outfit). idk this is the one im least sure about but at the end of her story i just ended up feeling disappointed

casttia: oooouug. i need to print out a picture of her and eat it. easily the strongest story and the one that uses the game's mechanics in by far the most interesting way(the first time she inquires about an important memory both actually jumpscared me and made me realize that this game might be Good good). i love her she is so cool. while i saw very few of the twists coming all of them made sense in hindsight and were satisfying. also i love her final boss fight so fucking much it is the best the second i was introduced to the rain i was like "fuck i hope this is the same mechanic as the ogre eagle rainbow toxin in alfyn's chap4" AND IT WAS and also the final scene where she realizes what the recipe is for the cure... ouuuugh. [high compliment] her story feels like the people who wrote alfyn had 5 years to develop and more deeply explore the ideas they had for his story and found ways to use the game mechanics to portray it much more interestingly. i dont have that much to say here because it's just good i just like it.

#c.paradisi #octoposting #im gonna do the other four now & see if theyre good #i hope agnea and osvald's stories will be good that hikari's will be well-executed #and that temenos will not make me break my switch

ok. thoughts on chucky s02e05

i get why people like scout/good chucky. and tbh i feel like if it had been given more time it would have been a great little exploration on morality and stuff. the baptism scene is so interesting and so good and i actually really enjoyed it, along with the scene in the bathroom with jake and scout/good chucky... but i really dont feel like its fully deserved. the idea of jake seeing his own little brothers innocence and playfulness in the doll is a good idea (theres also something interesting in how jake shifts his conflicted feelings from chuckys victims to chucky himself, with this being like a sequel to chucky-as-his-father in a way). but there is also the issue with me that scout/good chuckys shift was so strange to me, even in a series like this. bc how much of his personality was erased? he didnt remember killing people, he didnt remember anything. peoples identities are formed on the basis of memories and experiences. thats something i feel this season has dealt with in a more interesting way than it has tackled something like religion for example. the loss of identity in the undoing that comes with possession is now a sort of sickness felt by tiffany, by nica, by glen and glenda... and now chucky, in a much less painful way. and its linked with this idea i have that, well, the series/franchise treats him like an icon/mcguffin/flat cypher than as a character with any sort of vulnerabilities and sides. this isnt bad, i think, but it does make for a kinda hard shift when everything we know about him is erased. its weird to even call scout/good chucky a "chucky" beyond voice and looks. hes defined by violence, so thats why at least to me this just doesnt feel like him. i guess thats why jake can delude himself into thinking he has been "redeemed" or something.

and that links to me with the issue that i really feel for devon, and on a lesser degree with lexy, on this matter.... like its actively nasty to see jake (and really nadine too, though shes so off the loop that its hard to really make her responsable for anything tbh) bonding with the doll that killed devons closest family member. even if its not the same one, even if its supposedly reformed. the lack of understanding jake has for devons situation does really make me think that they should break up. so i do think their relationship has been well set enough for me to see this as a possibility to be concerned about. it doesnt change the fact that the root of the issue is a supposed "clockwork-orange-style" brainwashing that doesnt work as redemption/absolution when it literally erases the persons identity... but then we get into a matter of whats identity and if chucky is even a person at this point! like, shit!!!

and then we have all the stuff im sick of, with the people at the church who are so so uninteresting and so little fleshed out, which is such a waste... having lara jean chorostecki for three episodes and having her do the same stuff in each scene is so dull. sister catherine had promise but she hasnt developed as a character or have been revealed to have any interiority of any sort (in a nunnery context backstory is always really strong to know why theyre here in the first place, and just like with trevor and nadine we dont really get anything and i dont think we will), and her careless way of defying devon sawa priest (another extremely flat and boring character who feels like its repeating the same lines over and over and not moving anywhere) to me feels less like her standing up to real abuse of power and more like it being her first day on the job and not understanding how stuff is done in a catholic school.

and, finally, we have glen and tiffany. i have been wanting some real tiffany vulnerability and self awareness for a while (she has these flashes from time to time, that i feel are what makes her character have some actual weight beyond iconography and that lets jennifer tilly really Act in a dramatic way), and this is the closest i think ill get to that. her keeping jennifer tilly the character in a little cage to sign checks and take care of business, i dont know if its genius or really, really stupid. its shocking, which is sort of what this season feels like its trying to rely on more often than not. i was half hoping tiffany killed the doll to get rid of that loose end, but apparently we will have her around for a little longer. regardless, it does make some sense in that it clarifies that yeah, it was indeed a switch in the end of seed? and that the reason the possession of the body worked so well unlike nica!chucky is probably because the jennifer tilly character souls in the doll. anyways. i love seeing glen standing up for themself and its also so good to see them being pretty damn mature, contacting glenda as soon as possible about their shared past (i had a headcanon both of them shared dreams, so im happy to see that) and confronting tiffany (and their twin too! they literally told them off about killing someone!) about all the shit theyve been through. and i love to see tiff being a messy mom and maintaining that issue she has with being able to maintain relationships. shes immature and selfish and cruel and also loving and caring at the same time. i wish it had been pushed a little more, but this was better than nothing, i guess. glens little "its me" line was heartbreaking, and lachlan watson is already the definitive highlight of the season after just two episodes. and seeing tiffany rejecting, at least on a symbolic level, the jennifer tilly identity in favor of telling the truth and reconnecting with her children is the most emotionally fulfilling moment in the season since the devon/jake kiss in episode 1.

the thing is, the season has these few moments in which i can see it trying to be interesting beyond being fun, at least to the level of season 1. and i dont think it manages a good balance with it, which is such a damn pity for me when so much of what its trying to do is things that i had been wanting to see in previous installments of the franchise. and on another hand i get that its very hard to get the balance between horror comedy and honest drama... but idk. i had faith in it.

Stray kids fan fic

Mainly staring 3ratcha

But the other boys do make appearances it's just easy to keep to minimum of characters lol

Chan x oc

This is my first ever fan fiction so if it's shit soz.

He's gonna be here in like 20 minutes, so I'm cleaning up my room. Well shoving things into my wardrobe, but that's practically the same thing. I get dressed in some comfy clothes, and organise all my character work and script work on the table. I have a lot of thoughts about Tabby and her story. She's allowed me to tap into something more confident and almost powerful. I need to be more like her.

There's a knock at the door. He's five minutes early. I look through the peephole and there he is. Dressed all in black with his laptop and files. He looks so gorgeous. I hype myself up before opening the door. Don't fuck this up Y/N. You've got this!

"Hey!" I say it just a bit too loud, but he walks into my room ignoring that.

"Hey" He smiles. I lead him to the coffee table and sofa in my room. We sit down, our knees touching. That damned spark again.

"So ive had a read through the script and i think i understand most of the subtext theres a few places where id love your help!" He starts rifling through his copy of the script, hes marked places he thinks would be best paired with something unique. It looks like my script, all covered in highlighter and markings. I cant help but smile at how much he seems to be enjoying this job.

"Can i just ask why you took the job?". I ask, "not that youre not equipped for it, its just im sure you and the kids are always busy." He shifts in his seat to face me.

"I loved doing deadpool. And Ryan asked if we'd like to this film and we read the script and loved it. Unfortunately only the 3 of us could find the time to make it out here. Minho and seungmin have long-standing MCing jobs, I.Ns filming his acting debut," he leans in,"which you didn't hear from me. Hyunjin is creating a fashion line with versace, and Felix has gone back to Australia for a few months."

"Didn't you want to join him? Felix, I mean. Go back home and enjoy being with your family?" I ask

"A part of me did Yeah, but my sister Hannah's out here anyway and I've planned to see her a few times. She may even spend sometime on set with us if I can sort that out."

"Oh I'd love that!! Weirdly enough I actually found your guys music through Hannah's YouTube channel. People kept mentioning her brother so I checked out your music. Think Maniac may have been the first song I listened too." I admitted.

"I was gonna ask you about that actually. I heard you and Ryan bonded over your love of our music?"

"Yeah", I said shyly. "Kind of embarrassing, but yeah. During preproduction rehearsal for the dance scenes we'd blast your music for warm up. We actually almost used Thunderous for one of the dance routines!"

"You were really good before by the way. I forgot to say before. Me, Han and Changbin all thought you could give danceracha a run for their money." I blush. I don't know if this is him flirting but I bloody hope it is

"That's very sweet of you," for what feels like hours, but is merely seconds we hold eye contact. He then looks down at my lips and back to my eyes. I must be imagining that.

"You know what you want?" I break the gaze by pulling out the hotels room service menu.

The next few hours we spend talking about the script and characters. It feels like we've known each other for ages. He's so inspiring with his passion for his job, he's fueling the passion I have for my own. Everything we say in agreement, totally understanding the story in the same way. Dissecting the relationships and themes with such glee.

It's almost midnight by the time he leaves. I walk him to his door, a total of 4 steps from my own.

"Goodnight," i say, "I had a lot of fun!"

"Me too" He replies opening his door. "What time is your call time tomorrow?" He asks leaning against the door frame.

"Keith's picking me up at 9" I reply

"I'll message Sara to say I'm joining you, if that's cool with you?" He queries, running his hand through his slightly curly hair.

"I meet you out here at 8:50?"

"It's a date. Goodnight Y/N."

"Goodnight Christopher"

"I like that. You using my full name."

"I'll keep that in mind". We kind of just hang there in our respective door frames.

"Goodnight....I think that's the 3rd time I've said that." I laugh "ill see you in the morning" He nods and we close our doors.

I go to my bed and ring my mum to tell her about everything that's just happened. She answers but can't stay on the call for long, she's about to head off to work. I hate time differences.

I have listened to Eight long enough that it's starting to settle in and I have thoughts...

First of all, it fits Alastair so well. The way he starts to shut everyone out to protect himself and tries so hard to be strong.

I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit

This is basically when Alastair had to start taking care of Elias

I won’t let you in, I swore never again I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

This in combination with the recept snippet where Alastair is described as very sensitive to rejection

When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar

This is really how Alastair views himself, along with truly believing he's a bad person. It's also a lot worse after Elias returns and then dies, I think before then he wasn't doing too bad all things considering but after Elias returned he really returned to the worst of hating himself and blaming himself

I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart And all I want is to trust you

Alastair wants to trust Thomas

I’m all in, palms out, I’m at your mercy now And I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

I hope this happens sometime in Chain of Thorns

HI SORRY IM LATE

I over booked myself this week and have been suffering the consequences

It fits Alastair very well. I dont think I've ever been able to listen to the song without falling into some sort of crisis because it just. Thats him. It fits THAT well. Usually when i relate songs to characters its more "oh its good and theres this specific part thats incredibly good"

But here? I cant separate smth that really hits because EVERYTHING hits. I find myself fixiating on a specific lyric every ones in a while to just sit and stare at it. Im biased ofc the enneagram album is my favorite album ever but its so *good*

All the lyrics you picked are basically perfect and i agree with your descriptions so much.

Personally I've beeb thinking the lyric where it goes "When i see fragile things helpless things broken things. I see the familiar. I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too now im a broken mirror" reminded me a lot of how you wrote Alastair in the maybe a bit earlier parts of Stars *elephant*

"Now you wont see all that I have to loose and all I've lost in the fight to protect it" also reminded me of that scene in chog wirh James where hes saying he has no idea what hes done for his family

"Im shattered porcelain glued back together again. Invinsible like I've never been"

This does fit Alastair but I just personally think this lines gorgeus. I wanted to mention

Im so glad you liked it!!! Also im sorry i cant resist now if you want ofc you can listen to nine which is Thomas song and holy fuck do I have things to say

#ive always thought nine and eight are two opposite kinds of pain #eights a hit to the gut #nines an inner ache or hiwever thats called in english #nina!!

songs of the isle pt.16

Reegan: One second.

*Reegan vanishes for a couple of seconds then reappears behind Vick sitting on a table with a book lying next to him open. Vick jumps out of his skin when he notices then walks up to Reegan*

Vick: What is this?

Reegan: Well this is everthing we have on hunters and their Families.

*Vick leans over the book seeing a page that has an illustration of a man standing in full mental armour while holding a sword that is in the skull of a werewolf*

Vick: Thats- yeah.

Reegan: Keep going.

*Vick looks over the book again and then pulls back and looks to Reegan*

Vick: This says Arwan but family would..... would never do this.

Reegan: Its a hard thing to learn let alone accept but I dont think you are like that at least.

Vick: Thank you, you think you could convince Apollo of that.

Reegan: Pfft- Well ill try but he is a werid guy i know the bare minimum yet. I trust him and i know is just doing what he thinks is right.

Vick: So are you going to kick me out?

Reegan: Nope i respect him and shit, but i do think he needs so more help around here.

Vick: Ok then i need you to answer a question.

Reegan: Sure.

Vick: If Stefan isnt the frist person he has killed. How many has he killed?

Reegan: We don’t talk about that stuff it upsets him.

Vick: That mean theres more?

Reegan: Yes but i trust him and that it was nessary.

Vick: Fine lets just say that is that. What is Apollo excatly?

Reegan: He is apart of a cursed blood line from greece but without the gods the curse has gotten..... just different.

Vick: So God is real?

Reegan: Yes.....maybe its hard to be sure of some of them but most gods existed.

Vick: That- Fuck.

Reegan: Yeah but the curse has been worse Apollo is pretty lucky.

Vick: How is he lucky?

Reegan: The frist people with the curse just had wolf heads but over time it changed.

Vick: Still not that lucky though

Reegan: Ehh agree to disagree.

Vick: Ok I think I understand now.

Reegan: Great cuz I really want to ask you something.

Vick: Go ahead I guess.

Reegan: why have you been following Apollo?

Vick: I seen him turn from a wolf to guy after he killed turtle people, i really wanted to know what the fuck was really going on. Even the books at home only scratched the surface and i think it was a little biased.

Reegan: Fair.

Vick: i also just wanted to know why he saved me.

Reegan: Why?

Vick: My books called everthing supernatural in this world "evil" but he still risked so much for a stranger.

Reegan: Well, what do you think about him now?

Vick: I feel more lost I know he had to kill Stefan but he did it so casually it scared me.

Reegan: Stefan was the guy outside, right?

Vick: Yeah.

Reegan: I have known this guy for awhile but i get if you take this with a grain of salt. He is doing what he needs to to keep us safe, it isn't easy for him.

Vick: what do you mean?

Reegan: He has done this more times than i could count.... and everyday i worry he will lose to much to the violence until he saved you. I saw a real chance for him to move pass the killing and feel like a person.

Vick: I belive you but i think ill need time before i see him differently.

Reegan: That is ok i just hope it works out i guess.

Vick: To be fair it explains some of intreactions

Reegan: Pfft like what?

*The scene cuts to Vick climbing a cliff and as his arms reach the top and he struggles to pull himself up he sees Apollo sitting on a rock a couple of feet in front of Vick*

Vick: Apollo, help me

Apollo: where is my please?

Vick: *sighs* please

Apollo: Na, you got this

Vick: mother-

[wuhwoahhh]

I need to put this down somewhere so here is the place. If you dont want VPR spoilers do not read

  I love VanderPump Rules. VPR has taken over my life for what feels like 6 months but has probably been longer. I have loved following the lives of these lost, overdramatic, substance-filled mid-twenty and thirty year olds as they grow thru relationships, conflicts, parenthood, etc etc. These are my best friends and also the worst people I know. They are in my dreams, they are in my thoughts, they are on my feeds. I am in their lives, I am viewer, I am participator, I am confidante.

  Starting the tenth season I feel I am at a precipice. Fully aware of #Scandoval, and how everything goes down, I went into this season thinking that things would be laid out, it would be messy and toxic from the start. This season starts after Season 9 (which I skipped per my cousins recommendation) but I watched the S9 reunion and I don't feel like I missed much. Raquel (Rachel) has ended things with James (shocker), Tom and Tom are still super obnoxious, Scheana is married (again). I was surprised Katie and Tom were still together, and how much Ariana and Tom seem like they have never actually been in love. They just don't have any chemistry. And Lala I am liking more and more as she navigates single motherhood with Ocean (the third worst baby name from the core cast).

But the tone for the start of Season Ten is...sad. It starts with the reveal of Katie and Tom's divorce, which was very anticlimatic - Katie had just had enough (finalllyyyyyy). Tom and Tom are in immense debt from their "dive-lounge", which pretty much wrecked both of their relationships. Raquel and James are both trying to find themselves after their split, seeking validation in new people. Lala is rebuilding her life after Randall.

  Episode Two has the Daily Mail party acting as Schwartz and Sandy's pre-opening grand opening. Katie comes to support her ex-husband and friend, and theres a scene where sit down at a booth and she starts crying. She says something along the lines of, this bar was the other woman in their relationship, and now she's standing inside of it. She asks him if it was worth it. He knows it wasnt. They're in too deep though, him and Sandoval are tied together for life, sinking together. It is painfully tragic, and Schwartz still doesn't have the backbone to admit it, or to back out, or to have fought harder. It's too late. And although they were never really gonna make it cause he was never really gonna get his act together, this really could've been his wakeup call, but it wasn't. And Sandoval is spiraling, he has his shitty band, he's way in over his head, they don't know what theyre doing, Ariana hasn't left him but he will ultimately end up fucking up that realtionship. It was just wild to see, these men never figured out that they don't actually know anything, charisma only gets you so far, and now they've spent one million dollars on a restaurant that has effectively ruined both their lives. OUGH.

  The other tragic thing about this season is Raquel. The start of season ten sees Raquel framed as almost the protagonist - she's finding herself after aging out of pageants and finally breaking it off with her alcoholic boyfriend/fiancee. She's friends with all the girls, coming out of her shell and finally got rid of those horrible lashes. You can tell she feels lost, she's not over James and the amount of emotional energy she put into that relationship. And she may be a little dense, just learning what a boundary is at 27 but tbf I didn't figure that out until 21 so I kind of get it. She's honest and real, and you see her conflicting emotions and thoughts.

  This really surprised me, because all the media I've been seeing after Scandoval is emphasizing how stupid, how evil, how coniving she is, she's a monster, cold-blooded sociopath. But I really don't see it. I mean maybe something changes (still many episodes to go) but I was expecting her to seem fake but she seems so...real. Which makes me wonder how much of Sandoval's influence is on this thing. She is vulnerable, he is falling apart and grasping at anything. She had to have known she was doing something wrong, but men have a way of making you trust them and believe what they want you to believe. You can see too that she is the type that wants to do the right thing always, to follow the "rules". So if Sandoval laid out a certain idea of what was the right thing for her to do, maybe she thought she was doing the right thing, for herself and for him or whatever. It doesn't excuse her doing that to her best friend, but I can see how it could happen. And honestly, if I was in the same situation with a bit less life experience and critical thinking, I could see myself following the same thinking patterns.

  So I'm SO curious to see where this season goes. I've seen the #Scandoval highlight clips, I've seen the reunion, but there's more to it, especially with Raquel. I'm curious about Schwartz too, and how he fucks things up more LOL. I want to see Ariana, and how she is dealing with the "other woman"; I want to see Katie come into her own. I don't really care about Scheana and Brock, and James kind of makes me sad cause he's just going backwards it seems. But this season really is marking a shift. It seems darker, and with higher-stakes mess than past seasons. And Jax isn't even here (I guess he's too busy working on himself).

  And my best friend in the world Kristen Doute isn't here either. Kristen and Raquel are so different, but they both end up doing something very similar to people they love. I'm curious as to how it gets to that point, and if they ever reunite I would PAY to see that conversation (I am already paying for my Hayu subscription so it better come S11). I will try not to let this take over my life but it really is occupying my thoughts at all times.

deeply lonely people who refuse to face their own loneliness, while still knowing what they’re not looking at. the acknowledgement that moving closer is inexorable and will change them. 

#theres so much more to this scene but his lines here really stand out to me #first u notice she never says what she wants #then u notice that by saying what he wants he's still disguising the actual feeling

Grunge-Metal Geralt

Hi, im fucking trash for the idea of Geralt being the front man for a Five Finger Death Punch type band and my brain wouldn’t shut the fuck up about it. This music genre is my bread and butter and I think Geralt’s repressed but highly emotional ass would fit right in. Yes im using another Hozier song, no i dont wanna hear anything about it. I’m a basic bitch and ive made my peace with it

Warnings: i honestly have no idea, its a little horny, little emotional, but theres no actual character interaction?, its at a concert venue? idk yall.

_________________________

Jaskier was… out of his comfort zone.

It’s not that he didn’t like the grunge-metal music, he just hadn’t listened to much and he was not used to the energy. People were yelling and screaming and the opener hadn’t even come on yet. He didn’t feel unsafe, far from it. Several people had checked to see if he was okay, seeing as he was the only person in the entire arena wearing a sweater that wasn't ripped or faded to hell. It was just a far cry from the shows he was used to. 

He played folky-blues. This was nothing like his shows. 

When the lights went down the crowd was deafening, all moving as one to rush the front of the floor, not giving a single fuck about tickets. 

The openers were exciting, and Jaskier was surprised by some of the concepts and messages behind the music. It wasn’t what he’d expected at all and he found himself searching them up on Spotify to listen later. 

Then came The Witchers. 

Eskel and Lambert made their energetic entrance, followed by Aiden calmly walking to his drums and sitting as if he were walking into a college class. But Geralt was nowhere in sight. The one person Jaskier had actually come to see. 

He’d seen a video clip from a previous concert where they covered one of his songs, and he was praying they’d do it again. It was lovely in a haunting-almost-threatening way, and the expression in Geralt’s posture alone was enthralling. He had to see it live. 

But Geralt was still absent as the band started to build a song. First Aiden with the beat, then Eskel’s bass, then Lambert with a melody on his electric guitar. It built and built and built to a fever pitch, taking the crowd with it. People were already jumping and screeching. Jaskier had to stand on his seat to see the stage clearly. 

Geralt’s voice echoed through the venue, low and closer to a growl than singing, but he was still nowhere to be seen.

Jaskier thought he’d been prepared, but his whole body was covered in goosebumps. He briefly wondered if this was what his friends were feeling when they listened to ASMR.

Geralt remained hidden for the whole first verse, getting the crowd even more excited than Jaskier thought possible, only for the band to go completely silent for a whole measure. When the crowd's screams reached their absolute loudest, Geralt dropped from on top of one of the jumbotrons, landing on one of the horse-sized speakers before launching into the chorus. 

Oh fuck, he was even more beautiful in person. 

He was… well he was a beast of a man. Jaskier really didn’t have another word for the way his muscles bulged and how lithe and powerful he looked springing from the speaker to join his bandmates on the main stage. His thighs filled out his black, tattered jeans and there were clear faded spots where his muscles strained the fabric too often. The thin black tank he wore did nothing but pretend the man was semi-modest. It was so tight, the only thing left up to the imagination was tan lines and the color of his nipple piercings. 

Jaskier was most entranced by his long, white, wavy hair falling past his shoulders. As the show continued and he started to sweat, a lot, it got curlier and curlier at the root. Jaskier wanted to give him a mask and some curl cream, but only after a, uhm, rough night of getting to know each other. He’d heard rumors about Geralt from hitting arenas not long after they’d left. He was quite sure they’d have a great time.

As he focused on the lyrics more and more, he was more inclined to want to wrap Geralt up in a hug and worship every part of him until he felt whole again. 

Either he’d been shown the shitty side of the genre, or The Witchers were exceptions to the rule of content. Jaskier was almost moved to tears a few different times.

Finally, about an hour into Jaskier mindlessly feasting his eyes on the front man, Geralt leapt onto another speaker and sat down, breathing hard and grinning from ear to ear. 

“You still with us?”

The unholy screech from the crowd left no doubt they were just as excited, if not more so, than when they’d arrived. 

“Good! Good..” he trailed off, chuckling as he lowered the mic to take a breath, “We’re gonna slow it down for a minute,” he leaned forward and held the mic away as Eskel shouted something up at him to which he laughed and flipped him off. 

“As I was saying, we’re gonna yearn for a minute or two and do a cover. Song by Jaskier called ‘Talk’.”

The crowd lost their shit again, various pride flags popping up throughout the stands. 

Geralt chuckled and raised his combat boot, showing off the bi flag colored treads, earning another round of screams. If this is what the grunge-metal scene was like, Jaskier had been missing out his entire life. Sure his fans were sweet and supportive and loving when he’d come out. But this was electric and feral and completely addictive.

Lambert struck the opening chord to Jaskier’s song and the crowd settled to a gentle hum, setting the tone immediately, as if they all knew exactly what was coming. 

Geralt closed his eyes as he tapped his thigh with one finger, keeping time before his rumbling baritone hit Jaskier like a freight train. 

“I’d be the voice that urged Orpheus when her body was found…”

Jaskier could have collapsed right there. He knew he was staring like a lovesick idiot, but hell, everyone around him was too. When the chorus hit and Eskel came in with a heavy bass line he nearly fell off his chair. Geralt’s intensity raised with the addition of the backup but he didn’t move. He stayed seated, swaying slightly, with his eyes closed as he crooned out the words Jaskier had sobbed as he wrote, broken hearted and miserable. 

It was surreal. 

Sure he’d seen other covers. Sure they’d been lovely. But he wanted to listen to this and only this as he fell asleep for the rest of his life. He’d never play it again if he could only hear it one more time. 

After the last verse Lambert launched into a guitar solo while Geralt jumped off the speaker and meandered to the center of the stage to slot his mic back in it’s stand. He gripped it like a lifeline when Lambert held one last note for as long as his instrument would allow and only started singing the last chorus when it was almost silent. 

“I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we could do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you”

His expression looked hopeless and utterly desperate as he crooned out the last two lines. He let his hair fall to cover his face and Jaskier could just barely hear his panting breath over the sound system as the crowd exploded. Geralt tipped his head back and took two deep breaths before straightening up and getting on with the show but Jaskier was stuck. 

He was vaguely aware of someone taking a picture of him, but he really couldn’t care less. The fact that Geralt moved right on to a song called ‘Burn Motherfucker Burn’ didn’t matter either. 

Jaskier jumped down from his arena seat, whipping out his phone and sending the band a tweet, because apparently that’s what musicians did now?

“Record it. Please. It’s either that or sing me to sleep every night. You choose.”

He stayed for the rest of the show and walked to his car in a haze. Before he backed out of his spot he checked his phone like always and his heart nearly stopped at the two top notifications. 

One public reply: “Both? -G”

And one direct message: “If you’re still here and want to grab a drink, I’m just backstage.”

10 Anti LO Asks

1. It took over a 150 chapters for Hera to face the consequences of trying to set up her niece and brother in law knowing full well her sister would hate that union. 

2. i just dont get how rachel is totally ok to listen to and take ideas by random people to add to LO, but is offended over the idea she listen to even minor input from literal greeks for her GREEK MYTHOLOGY story. like she'll take suggestions to add r4pe to her story for shock value, but listening to greeks to make it even a little accurate is too much to ask of her? im not saying she has to do a "presents" line like riordan does, but silencing greeks out of their own culture's stories? really?

3. am i the only one who hate the modern setting? something about it is so underwhelming, and rachel focuses on it way too much to where when she finally tries to add fantasy and/or ancient elements (flying around, the ancient clothes, growing big (??), the magic pom, etc) it just feels out of place. a lot of stories have a blend of modern and fantasy but LO just overemphasizes the modern too much for too long that the fantasy now being added seems random over a natural fit.

4. im not against the idea of making up new stories for the gods to work in, but i think the issue with LO is none of the stories add anything? like why do we need a chosen one story in persephone? why do we need hades to now be a kaiju to take out his dad? why have hera be a cheater? why have persephone need to teach hades slavery is bad? why have a trial? & the list goes on. theres so many interesting new stories you could use with them and LO picks the most useless ones, esp in a romance comic.

5. Idk if this is just me or what, but the panel of Hera snorting in laughter after Hestia talks about Persephone being a candidate for TGOEM comes off so poorly timed considering Hera is fully aware that Persephone can't be in TGOEM bc of the Apollo thing

And ik the scene is supposed to be more like "haha hestia thinks she doesn't love Hades bc of TGOEM" so maybe I'm looking Too Deep but that was the impression I got when I first read the scene, it made me feel really icky rather then laughing with her 

6. the idea of rachel even touching the other pantheons is a threat, also would just lead to a bigger mess. rachel for starters cannot stand hxp not being the top so?? would persephone take out the abrahamic god when they become more culturally important than the previous pantheons?? like she can joke the other gods are out there but she cant even keep one pantheon together, imagine her trying to connect a bunch of others that she cant rip off from tumblr text posts. it'd be a disaster.

7. rachel: i hate people acting like PJO is the best depiction of myth. also rachel: you should 1000% see my completely made up story masquerading as greek myth as the most accurate thing ever.

-----FP Spoilers/Mention-----

8. (Spoilers for chapter 190!)

So I have a lot to say here but I'm gonna keep it brief

Firstly, are we really saying Persephone having wrath is just Eris' meddling? Is that what we're doing? And that Persephone only has ambitions because Eris gave her wrath? Okay. Okay. Persephone literally couldn't have dreams without interference from someone else, idk what else to say other then how fucking sad that is, and more "Oh see shes not bad at all, it was Eris who made her do it because she cursed her uwu"

Secondly, ik it was done for bad reasons but Zeus' punishment for Persephone is the highlight of season 2 for me. That's all I'm gonna say. 

9. FP Spoiler: Man, my prediction that Persephone will be the one to cause winter looks like it might be coming true. I’m calling it now - Persephone will mess up doing her mom’s job, get angry about not being able to see Hades (I doubt she’ll give a shit about her mom now living as a mortal - it’ll be a passing, one panel mention at most) and then she’ll cause the winter by “oopsies”.

Also, let’s see how bad RS messes up the Demeter’s Exile to Eleusis. She already messed it up by making it a Zeus punishment instead of a self-imposed exile. Screw the importance of Demeter exiling herself from Olympus I guess. 

10. FP Spoilers Episode 190: I'm fucking crying, Persephone has absolutely nothing to make her interesting anymore.

Her intelligence was warped into her brain by Athena, she's pretty because Aphrodite slapped her with a pink cushion (and also because Hera), she's kind not because that's her personality, but because Hestia literally crammed kindness down her throat and her ambitions and anger issues aren't the natural result of her smothered childhood, they're just Eris deciding to be a dickhead for no reason.

I have asked this question many times throughout the trial, but exactly what was the point of this entire scene again??? Why did RS have to give Persephone a pseudo-Sleeping Beauty backstory??? What has this accomplished??? Everything this episode told us about Persephone we've already known since mid-season 1! Why is RS so determined to suck all the intrigue out of her characters via bs-retcons??

Also, wow, really feminist of RS to introduce a new, supposedly super-powerful female character, only to have her literally dragged down by Asspollo and humiliated in front of everyone. So empowering. So cool./s

Eris did legit nothing. She showed up, rattled down some more "look how cool Persephone is"-talk disguised as a "tragic" backstory-twist, got pulled around a little bit and then disappeared. Cut out her scenes and absolutely nothing changes. Same for Apollo revealing he's Zeus' son. (Which, wow, what a plot-twist. Who could have seen this coming. Not like Apollo and Artemis being Zeus' kids is basically a cornerstone of their mythos./s)

Also also, this episode tried way too hard to make me feel bad for Persephone after the verdict. Like, oh nooo, you got put on the gods' equivalent to house arrest and community service? In a literal paradise, far away from the guy who wanted to force you into marriage and everyone else who could hurt you? And you get to be ruler of the mortal realm too? You poor baby, however will you bear this cross?

There is literally only one downside to this outcome and it's that hxp won't be allowed to see each other for a while. (Though even then, I wouldn't really call it a downside, hxp has been nothing but forced and terrible.) Zeus even says, right after verdict, that the punishment is temporary and that he'll lift it when he's convinced Persephone and Demeter have atoned for their crimes. But hxp act like this means they'll be separated forever and do all this overly dramatic kissing and I'm sitting here like "calm the fuck down, it's literally not that bad???"
