Karl Heisenberg // SFW alphabet

Request: So there was no actual request, I just knew this would cheer up my closest friend.

Dedicated to: @rey-is-not-a-skywalker

Summary: A sfw A-Z for Karl Heisenberg, from Resident Evil Village!

Warnings: Explicit language

Notes: Please, have some Soft!Heisenberg, bor. It’s one of the many, many things you deserve. To those who have requested oneshots- I am working on them, please be patient! My requests are currently open! My pinned post (found here) contains both a list of characters I write for, and a masterlist!

Not my gif

A - Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

He’s never affectionate publicly. Behind closed doors, though- well maybe he’s not your stereotypical lovey-dovey type, but hey-ho, he shows it in his own little way. A few hugs, but mostly through making you things. Music boxes, little figures and robots that wind up, you name it, he’ll try and make it.

B - Best Friend (What would they be like as a best friend? Where does the friendship start?)

He’s not a friendly man, typically. He’s cold, and driven only by his motives. It takes a long time for him to warm up to you, but when he eventually does he is always by your side, whenever you should need him. Be it for violence, or for an ear to pour your thoughts into- even though half the time you swear he’s not listening completely.

C - Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Heisenberg likes warm cuddles above all others. The kind where he can pull you close and hold you there for a while- he likes feeling you against his chest. It’s comforting to him, after years of no affection and a torturous living experience.

D - Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking, cleaning, ect?)

Karl is not particularly skilled in any domestic skill. He’s very mediocre at cooking, and he can’t clean to save his life- his factory is littered with dust and other probably very harmful particles. He isn’t very good in a domestic environment at all, really.

E - Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Blunter than a broken pencil I’m afraid. He’s never had to hide something from you in the past, so why should this be any different? He would not want to beat around the bush here, he’d annoy himself with pleasantries and euphemisms.

F - Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? Do they wanna get married?)

He’s perfectly fine staying as partners, without marriage looming over the pair of you. Quite frankly, he doesn’t think it’s worth it. “A piece of damn paper to show someone your fucking devotion? Bullshit.”

G - Gentle (How gentle are they both physically and emotionally?)

Unless you’re shaking like a leaf or have specifically asked him to be gentle with or around you, he’s not going to be. He’ll treat you much how he treats most others- with a little bit of affection for zest and flavour every now and then.

H - Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it, and what are they like?)

While he likes cuddles, he isn’t a huge fan of hugs. He thinks they’re too short to show any real affection, and often get in the way of whatever task the recipient is trying to perform.

I - I Love You (How fast do they say the “love” word?)

S l o w l y. This man has gone through some stuff, and doesn’t want to get attached to people despite falling for you. Give him a chance.

J - Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What are they like when jealous?)

Okay so he may be “non-committal” in a loose sense of the term, but this man is one jealous motherfucker. And he gets angry. I’m talking punching the wall, lashing out and breaking shit kind of angry. It’s mostly because of a nagging fear that not only will he lose you to someone you think is better or less monstrous than he is, but also in part due to a feeling that because of what he was forced to become, he isn’t good enough to keep you for himself.

K - Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

He kisses you on your hands or neck mostly. Those are his favourite places to kiss you. He occasionally kisses you on the inside of your wrist. If you have any scars as well, he’ll kiss them.

L - Little Ones (How are they around kids?)

It depends. Sometimes he’s the perfect uncle figure, others he’s a whirlwind of rage. If you’re taking him to see some children for a prolonged amount of time, please check how he’s acting and feeling on the day so there isn’t some sort of horrific accident.

M - Morning (What are mornings like with them?)

There’s nothing special about them, he’s usually up long before you are. He doesn’t leave anything like a hot beverage behind, unless it’s a special occasion that he’s remembered- like a birthday or anniversary.

N - Nights (How are nights spent with them?)

He often tells you to go to bed before him, as he’s usually working on something, and would rather not have to worry about you being down in his factory and workshop.

O - Open (When do they open up about themselves?)

When he’s extremely angry. He gets riled up, then will start to spill facts and secrets while hardly even realising it.

P - Patience (How easily angered are they?)

He has a very short fuse and a violent temper, to say the least. There’s a reason the man swears so much. Though he will often apologise if he’s scared you after an outburst.

Q - Quizzes (How much do they remember about you?)

He remembers the basic things at the very least- Your name, your habits on eating and drinking, what you do to amuse yourself. He’s quite observant, actually.

R - Remember (Favorite memory with you?)

He made you a small music box once. The past part of his day, or his entire week, was seeing your smile as you opened it and listened to it for the first time. It was the widest he’d ever seen you smile, and he loved the feeling it gave him.

S - Security (How protective are they?)

Very. One particular other Lord- “Lady Super-Sized Bitch,” as Heisenberg has dubbed her- is very interested in your presence, and Heisenberg has made it very much his business to keep you practically under lock and key to keep you safe. And when Ethan Winters comes around? Ooh, boy. You ain’t leaving his sight.

T - Try (How much effort do they put in?)

He does try- through making trinkets and gadgets to both help you and show his affection. Sometimes it may not always seem that way though, with his outbursts and his tantrums.

U - Ugly (What are their bad habits?)

He smokes. You tried to get him to quit once, then stopped when you realised it made him more irritable.

V - Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He’s not that concerned. If he’s still kicking... Well that’s all that matters to him.

W - Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

He’d feel that something’s wrong, something’s not right- a cog missing from a machine, in a sense. And he hates that feeling.

X - Xtra (Random HC)

This man would die for some ice-cream. You bring him a tub of the stuff- BAM, instant good mood for the next like two days.

Y - Yuck (Things they don’t like either in general or a partner?)

This man is not fussy, in the slightest.

Z - Zzz (Sleep habits)

He basically doesn’t, he gets so little it’s a wonder he can actually function normally.

Twilight Re-watch Notes Pt. 1 - A Contest for the Worst Movie Quote in History

I'd like to think I'm funny so please enjoy my scene-by-scene notes from a recent Twilight Saga re-watch.

Hey Catherine Hardwicke, opening with the death of an animal was probably not the best choice but go off I guess??

There is a lot of general Bella awkwardness that I'm skipping over here but the scene in gym class is so horrifically, painfully uncomfortable that I almost passed out from the second-hand embarrassment.

Jessica trying her best to be fake nice to the human embodiment of a crumpled soda can: "Aren't people from Arizona like....really tan"

Bella with all the cadence of a child who just found out Santa isn't real: "yeah..I guess that's why they kicked me out"

Mike clearly just trying to get his dick wet: "HAHAH you are funny"

no mike she is not.

I'm not gonna go into the biology class scene because god knows tumblr has beaten that particular horse to death. BUT the scene in the administration office immediately after that is a TRIP. Edward has one of his most dramatic lines here when they won't let him switch classes: “I’ll just have to endure it” ?!?!?!?!?!?! This is INSANITY, he sounds like he's going to burst into tears like Edward please chill you aren't even being a little subtle.

I will never get over Bella trying to put Ketchup on her burger and then just???? giving up???? when it doesn't come out after she limply shakes it approximately once.

“HOW YOU LIKIN DA RAIN GIRL” Is our first contender for the worst and most unnatural line in movie history, and trust me there are plenty more.

Bella accusatorily saying “you were gone” to Edward as if this dude who she met for approximately 30 minutes 2 weeks ago owes her even a PALTRTY SCRAP of an explanation about anything???????

Actually, this whole scene is a horrific nightmare of awkward intrusive conversation:

“You’re asking me about the weather” HOE WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT YOU DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER

“hey did you get contacts” WHO JUST ASKS THAT?!?

and of course; “it’s the fluorescents” [RUNS AWAY]

Charlie and Bella have the only organic-sounding dialogue in the entire movie. Any awkwardness they have is BELIEVABLE father-daughter awkwardness and not like "I'm being forced to film this against my will" awkwardness like every other exchange in this film series.

Bella asks Edward ALL OF ONCE about him saving her from the truck and Edward gets so haughty and smug thinking that Bella won't figure it out

“you’re not gonna let this go are you?” “no” “then I hope you enjoy disappointment” [storms off] MY DUDE LITERALLY 2 SCENES LATER SHE FIGURES IT OUT IN 3 GOOGLE CLICKS

“I had an adrenaline rush, it’s very common you can google it” contender number two for the terrible dialogue award.

Edward saying “if you were smart you would stay away from me” AFTER HE APPROACHED HER LIKE FUCK OFF [skeleton throwing its own skull gif]

Kstew got a lot of flack for her performance in this movie but when she has a good partner to exchange lines with she SHINES. The scene with Angela and her at the beach where she tells her to ask Eric to prom is GOOD. EVERY scene with Charlie in THIS ENTIRE FRANCHISE is GOOD. It is nothing but pure misogyny that Rpatz didn’t catch any flack for his truly, horrifically awkward performance

I cannot believe Stephanie thought it would be a good idea to have Edward save Bella from potentially getting gang r*ped like I get it girl is about the drama but still this is just a TOOOUCH too far

“your hand is so cold,” WHO SAYS THIS TO SOMEONE THEY BARELY KNOW COMPLETELY UNPROMPTED???

SHE TRIES TO REFUSE CARRYING BEAR MACE WHEN SHE WAS ALMOST R*PED NOT 4 HOURS PREVIOUSLY LIKE SIS CARRY A KNIFE?!?!?!?!?

The “you’re impossibly fast & strong” monologue is so bad I want to barf

“I’ve killed people before” “doesn’t matter” BITCH YES IT DOES WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

“MY OWN PERSONAL BRAND OF HEROIN” IS SO BAD. Like we all recognize how bad this is right? Especially when one considered the target demographic for these films, i.e. teenage girls, have NO FUCKING FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR THIS WHAT.SO.EVER.

“And so the lion fell in love with the lamb” YOU’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ALL OF 3 SECONDS I CAN’T WITH Y'ALL. AT LEAST THE BOOK HAD SOME BUILD-UP JESUS GEEZUS

Who thought this meadow scene was a good idea, they need to be sent straight to hell. WHY ARE THEY LAYING DOWN LIKE, SIT MAYBE?????? IT’S SO WEIRD AND UNNATURAL THEY LOOK LIKE DOLLS I HATE IT

The scene where they get out of the car and Edward puts his arm around Bella while Spotlight by Mutemath plays in the background is TOP TIER teen drama bs and I love it. Far and away the best shot in the movie apart from The Baseball Scene(TM).

I will never get over the fact that Edward's bitch ass rats Bella out for already eating when she comes over to meet his family. BE FUCKING COOL EDWARD FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, GOD!!!

Esme is too pure for this world I can’t deal with her, & Emmet waving the knife is my favorite thing in all 5 of these movies

Why tf are Alice and Jasper fucking off doing god knows what in a tree and not helping with dinner like everyone else? Y'all ain't special even Rosalie is helping

Esme talking to Rosalie “Clean this up..now” I LOVE YOU BE MY MOM

Earlier they talk about the fact that vampires don’t sleep BUT the first thing Bella says when she walks into Edward's room is “no bed” girl we know what you after you ain't slick.....

WHAT IS THIS DANCING SCENE IN HIS BEDROOM IT’S HORRIBLE TO WATCH and I want to find whoever thought “well I could always make you” was a good line for Edward to say and slap them directly in the mouth.

“hold on tight spider monkey” excuse me while I VOMIT

Mike offering his opinion on Bella dating Edward HOWEVER justified is automatically invalidated by A. his own romantic interest in Bella and B. the fact that he has also know Bella for all of 10 minutes & has no bearing on her personal life whatsoever

THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THIS MAN HAS BEEN COMING INTO HER ROOM AND WATCHING HER SLEEP THIS IS RED FLAG CITY LIKE BELLA WATCH A TRUE CRIME DOCUMENTARY OR READ THE NEWS FOR FUCKS SAKE

THIS FRANCHISE HAS THE MOST HORRIBLE KISSING SCENES IN MOVIE HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN HEAR LITERALLY EVERY BREATH, EVERY AWKWARD PRESS OF LIPS. You're telling me THIS was the best take of this???? CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW AWKWARD THIS WAS TO FILM

The whole scene when Bella is telling her dad about her date with Edward is absolutely god tier. Charlie snapping the barrel of the shotgun closed, him motioning that he has a halo on, asking her if she still has her pepper spray. BILLY BURKE LIFTED THIS MOVIE UP AND TRIED SO HARD TO CARRY IT ON HIS BROAD, MUSTACHIOED DAD SHOULDERS, WE STAN

WHERE TO START WITH THE BASEBALL SCENE:

Supermassive Black Hole in the background, Alice going AWF with her pitching, Rosalie getting all pissed when Bella says she's out and Emmett yells "c'mon babe it's just a game" like the puppy dog of a person (vampire?) he is, CARLISLE WEARING A SCARF WHILE PLAYING BASEBALL, I WILL NEVER EMOTIONALLY RECOVER FROM JASPERS BAT TRICKS, EMMET AND EDWARDS LAUGH AFTER CRASHING INTO ONE ANOTHER.

A TRULY IMMACULATE MOVIE SCENE. This scene isn’t long enough

“My monkey man” might be the worst line in this movie, I’m so torn between which one is the worst. Also, I'm just now realizing that this is the second time someone has compared a loved one to some type of monkey and I really don't like it.

Bella's defeated “I can’t hurt him” breaks my heart every time. AND FUCKING BILLY BURKE pulling out his acting chops with Charlie’s poor little broken sounding “I know I’m not that much fun to be around we can do more stuff together” & “I just gotcha back” LIKE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SCENE HURTS ME ON A PHYSICAL LEVEL AND I AM ENTITLED TO FINANCIAL COMPENSATION

I know I've skipped over a lot but it's just a lot of like star wipe level montage of nonsense, so we are mOVING ON to what is possibly the biggest plot hole I've never recognized before now: How in the hell was James planning on luring Bella out if he didn’t find that videotape of Bella's mom looking for her????? Or was he just going to bust up in the holiday inn, metaphorical guns blazing & toss Bella out a window???

This fight scene between James & Edward is VERY poorly choreographed and you can practically see the stunt wires pulling on their clothes but no one is surprised..this is Twilight after all.

Who the fuck starts the fire in the ballet studio if Carlisle & Edward are with Bella, Jasper and Emmet are holding James's arms and Alice is ripping his head off???? Esme and Rosalie aren't there so the only explanation is that Emmett's power Stephanie never told us about is his ability to start small, controlled, indoor bonfires with his mind.

If Bella was losing blood from her femoral artery it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that she would have been cognizant enough to tell them her hand was burning + THERE’S A BIG ASS BITE HOW DID THEY MISS IT???

Let Me Sign is such a good fucking song. Actually, while we're on music every song on every Twilight Saga soundtrack SLAPS. At least 1 department at Summit Entertainment was staffed with competent people. (side note, why the fuck do I know the studio by name that made this movie. I need to go lie down)

Bella acting a damn fool in the hospital bed like clingy much

CHARLIE IS SUCH A GOOD DAD FUCK!

The Edward/Jacob beef is so dramatic at prom can you both chill for 5 minutes we haven't even gotten to y'alls bullshit yet that's not until New Moon.

Bella really thought this mfer was gonna turn her at prom in the middle of the dancefloor??????????

Flightless Bird American Mouth. That's it, that's the bullet point

Victoria coming to prom, like we stan a dramatic bitch.

I will almost CERTAINLY post my New Moon (Extended Edition) notes in a few days. & yes I do have notes on the entire franchise.

#I had a lot more but I cut it down #a lot of my extra stuff was just talking about RPatz slipping inexplicably into a Spanish accent from time to time #no one seems to notice #but I fucking do #I hear the way he says 'so you're worried' and want to caCKLE OUT LOUD #I'm not nearly as funny as I think I am but ask me if I give a fuck #baby I will subject you to my poor humor #Twilight #Twilight Saga

Hiya!!! I was wondering if maybe you could write a Christmas drabble with Yoongi where you’re meeting his parents for the first time and you’re like super super nervous and he finds it cute?? I just really love soft Yoongi! If not, that’s okay. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday!!

🎄 pairing: min yoongi x reader

🎄 genre: boyfriend!yoongi, very vERY soft hours aka the fluffiest fluff, yoongi thinks ur cute when ur nervous but also dang girl u real sweaty

🎄 wordcount: 1.6k

🎄 notes: here’s a HEAPING serving of soft yoongi for everyone!!!! thANK U for the (almost) birthday wish :~))

(gif isn’t mine!)

you don’t think you’ve ever been so nervous in your entire life before

your hands are SO clammy and your ass is definitely sweating right now

yoongi walks into the bedroom from the bathroom to see you staring blankly at the wall and he squints to see a bead of sweat roll down the side of your forehead

he turns and looks at the thermostat

it’s not like it’s BOILing in here so he doesn’t know why you’re sweating

“y/n? …you okay?” he approaches the bed cautiously and moves your packed duffle bag out of the way “you’re… you’re a little… moist”

“i can’t do this” you whip your head around and look at yoongi with wide eyes and yoongi’s like can’t do what can’t function like a normal human being

the two of you are all packed and ready to go to the airport

your flight leaves in a couple of hours and you and yoongi are supposed to leave for the airport in like an hour

so yoongi’s been scurrying around the apartment making sure things are unplugged and the stove isn’t on and the windows are locked securely and everything is nice and clean before the two of you leave for like a month

you’re spending the holidays with yoongi and his family for the first time ever

you two have been together for about two years? last year he spent christmas with you and your family which was really sweet of him

even though you said he didn’t have to he said he wanted to

and he ended up having a lot of fun!!!

your parents both loVe him

your mom might love him more than you do because she kept feeding him instead of yOU

your cousin thinks he’s hot so you’re going to keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t sink her claws into him

anyways

yoongi said he was down to spend it with you and your family again this year but you were very adamant that you wanted to spend it with him and his family

you were sO adamant on it that right after you said that you sat down and ordered plane tickets to daegu

but that was like four months ago

and four months have passed

and now it’s december 17th

and you’re about to get on a flight to daegu

and you’re going to meet yoongi’s entire family

but more importantly

you’re going to meet yoongi’s parents for the first time

god

you can barely speak korean

all you can say is hello, yes, no, how are you, thank you, this is an apple, that is a man, where is the washroom, i love you

and that’s not going to help continue a conversation

not to mention your pronunciation is horrific

sure you’re really excited because you’re going to be in daegu for the first time and you’re excited for yoongi to take you around the city

he’ll hold your hand as you stroll through a park

he’ll feed you plenTy of street food

and you definitely have to hook yourself up with korean skincare because you want to have the skin of an angel toO

“can’t do what? get on a plane?” yoongi furrows his brows as he fiddles with a loose thread from the pillow case “i already told you it’s highly unlikely that when you open the overhead compartment there’s going to be a family of snakes waiting for y-“

“what if they don’t like me?” yoongi’s head shoots up at your quiet question

he blinks once

ohh

“oh, jagi.” yoongi’s heart clenches because how could you think that his parents aren’T going to like you????

god

you’re perfect and yoongi loves everything about you

it’d take him forever to list out what he loves about you but he’d be willing to do it even tho he’s a busy man who has places to go to and people to sEe

“c’mere, baby.” yoongi sits against the headboard and tugs on your arm gently

you let out a sigh and get up on your knees and waddle towards him and yoongi grabs you and pulls you down so that you’re sitting on his lap “has this been bothering you all morning? you’re still in your pyjamas.” he teases and pulls at his t-shirt you have on

his smile falters when he notices the little frown on your face and the divot in between your eyebrows

that face is strictly reserved for when you’re in deep, worrying thought

“what’s on your mind, angel?” yoongi hums and cups the side of your jaw

his eyes flicker over your features and he leans in to press a kiss to the corner of your mouth in an attempt to get you to respond

“i just-“ you sigh and your gaze lowers quickly as you grasp yoongi’s other hand and start playing with his fingers “i’ve never done this before, you know? the whole ‘meet the parents’ thing. i’ve never been in a long term relationship and i feel like i’m going to mess it all up and t-they’re not going to like me and then i’ll have to break up with you because obviously you don’t wanna date someone your parents don’t approve of!”

“y/n-“

“i don’t wanna disappoint them like i don’t want them to think oH this is the girl you’re dating??? u can do better!!!!!! thank u next!!!!!-“

“y/n-“

“oH god what if they think you’ve wasted two years of your life with me that’d be awful!!!!” you cry out and bury your face into your palms before leaning against yoongi’s chest

yoongi rubs comforting circles on your back and presses a kiss to the top of your head and lets you have your moment

a moment of silence goes by

“i’m scared.” your voice is muffled

yoongi can’t help but let a small smile twitch at the corner of his mouth

“i know you are. but there’s nothing to be scared of, i promise. i know exactly how you feel. i practically pissed my pants when i met your dad.”

you snort at the memory of how stiff and robotic yoongi was when you introduced him to your dad (“good evening, sir. i’m yoongi - uh, min yoongi… sir.”)

yoongi pulls you away from his chest and cups your cheeks

he coos when he notices your eyes glazing over a little bit so he leans forward to plant a kiss on your nose

“there’s absolutely nothing to be worried about. you are the sweetest and kindest and moSt polite person i know. you’re well spoken and charming and even though your jokes are awful you’re still funny in a lame but endearing kind of way!! not to mention you’re the prettiest girl i’ve ever laid my eyes upon.”

“yoongi-“

“and i know my parents are going to like you because you make me so damn happy everyday and i constantly talk to them about how great you are so they already have a really good impression of you!! you don’t even realise how much you’ve changed my life, y/n y/l/n. you are absolutely perfect and you’re the one for me.”

o my

that’s so cute

you feel a little lump in your throat from how overwhelmed you’re feeling but you swallow it quickly because u r noT about to start crying right now that would be lame

“now, you okay?” yoongi grips the back of your arms and gives you a pointed look and you nod slowly “good girl” he smiles fondly before pursing his lips for a kiss

you lean forward and give him a tiny kiss before pulling away

yoongi narrows his eyes at you

“why are u looking at me like that” you squint your eyes right back and poke his chest

“…eh, maybe you’re right. i don’t think they’re going to like you.” yoongi sighs and the blood drains from your face

o god

o fuCK

WHAT DO U DO NOW

WHY WON’T THEY LIKE U

okay okay

maybe you can like

bring them gifts??? what would they like???

or u can change your name and move out of the country

you swallow thickly “w-well, what do you suggest -“

“they’re going to love you.”

you let out a sigh of relief and pinch yoongi’s nose playfully and he laughs lightly before swatting your hand away

“and you know how i know they’re going to love you?”

“how?” you hum as yoongi leans in and rubs his nose against yours before pulling away

you wrap your arms around his neck loosely and he squeezes your hips before his arms slink around your waist and he pulls you closer

“because i love you.” you can’t help but smile widely at how cheesy he’s being

if you told the boys about yoongi’s little speech they’d go crAZy and yoongi’d never hear the end of it and he’d probably slaughter you

but you’ll keep it to yourself

“i love you” you press your forehead against yoongi’s and he gives you another gentle little peck

your heart overflows with love for min yoongi

you’re so lucky that you get to spend your days with someone as amazing as him

yoongi sighs as you pull away from him and he smacks the side of your bare thigh and you jolt in surprise

“now, go and get ready. as much as i love you i refuse to go to the airport with someone who’s not even wearing pants.”

🎄the twelve drabbles of christmas! 🎄

Some Meta (Tinfoil?) Because Episode 4 Had Me All Shook. Spoilers Included, Beware.

Okay, so I’ve few more thoughts about what can happen to the show moving forward. I think I’ve seen enough material from the past four episodes to create this somewhat long assumption on the endgame ship.

First and foremost, I am a fan of a good piece of literature (defined from here on, as I’ve studied in the university, as a piece of text or material from whichever medium or channel) and a well-thought literary criticism. I am keeping an open mind on this one so I hope you do too so we can create a healthy, substantial, and fascinating discourse. To keep it clear, this is mostly show-based analysis. 😊

And so, here we go. Read below the cut.

After seeing episode four that just for some reason blew me away not only on the execution and craftsmanship but even more so on the emotional depth that almost all of the characters in that episode have conveyed. I’ve already written a short recap on this particular episode in a previous post but in summary, I thought the episode gave us all what we wanted and rightfully, in GoT style. It was confusing, terrifying, and most definitely opened to A LOT MORE to interpretation.

The episode is both plot and character(s) driven that for me, it moved so much of the story in all characters’ respective playing field. Just a quick recap of the instances that has inspired me so to think of this meta:

1. Jon and D*ny finally have a semblance of a real conversation that made us see where their priorities still lie. Jon in the North, D*ny of conquering all of Westeros. Emphasis on “still” because this scene can inspire even more shifts in their dynamic. To where? That is the most exciting part.

2. Stark children Sansa, Arya, and Bran are finally all together in Winterfell surrounded by both angels (Brienne/Pod) and demons (Littlefinger) that could potentially put them in a tug-of-war. But ultimately, House Stark is back.

3. Jon and Theon dealing with past issues rekindled in a short but very tension-filled reunion. Might seem random. But I believe, it’s not (initially because of Dadvos’ reaction) but you can see why later on.

4. Tyrion and Jamie having some sort of similar realizations (of fear and disbelief) after witnessing D*ny’s fury and destruction on the battlefield.

With all these impressions and material to work on, a huge question has run rampart after this episode leak. Is the endgame Jonsa or J*nerys? This episode was filled with moments for both ships to shine and sail and I say they are both sailing very well. But again, in consideration of ALL that is happening (cue here LF’s words of wisdom: everything is happening all at the same time), we cannot simply disregard characterization, context, AND the other characters in order to make a ship happen.

First, Jon and D*ny are definitely going somewhere. I cannot entirely say yet that it will be full-on romantic or tragic or chaotic for episode four left this (too deliciously) vague for me. But they are intertwined both in the aspects of claiming the Iron Throne and in defeating the White Walkers. What I love is how blatant this knowledge is that I don’t even have to explain why. For anyone with the right senses, matched with the aforementioned knowledge of their intertwined fates, the simpler and almost only logical thing to do is to place Jon and D side by side as the power couple. It is a good picture. It is an efficient picture. But of course, this is GoT and as I see it, showrunners are putting in as much tension between the two to deny the audience the quick and convenient union of “ice and fire”, creating an even more plausible chemistry a la the usual love-hate relationship trope. But as of now, Jon and D*ny are sure of their intentions and priorities in defeating the Walkers and getting the Iron Throne respectively. It is then in these contrasting goals that their true dilemma lies. At this point, they are not agreeable with each other. While some may argue that there is also a clear attraction, this mere reasoning cannot reconcile their beliefs and allowing it to be is a disservice to both characters. And so, as I can see it, and mentioned in my previous post, something drastic will have to occur to make this partnership believably happen.

With episode four, I can now fully understand those supposed “leaks” comparing J/D with Lyanna and Rhaeger later on. It actually makes sense. And if it does happen, I will be so glad for it. Because for Jon and D to get together, it will have to be some sort of an epic “betrayal” not only for the realm, but to their current disposition and beliefs now. The look Jon had in the cave scene where D mentioned his pride and of sacrificing his people because of it, is a look of a person conflicted. D*ny’s words are challenging Jon’s honor and loyalty to the North/Starks. This creates an internal dilemma for Jon. He does not want to betray his people and yet we also know how he is so desperate for help. So how then can Jon get the queen’s support? This question has opened up tons of interpretation in which I conclude will make J*nerys actually happen—but not without its bitterness. Because first and foremost, I believe, for that ship to happen, both J and D have to sacrifice and shed some parts of who they are now.

For Jon, it will be his biggest gesture and by far, his biggest character shift yet because the possibility of J/D happening first lies in the notion and acts of Jon Snow falling in love with D. Like truly falling in love with her. He has to admire her truthfully, honestly and with a passion despite everything that has happened and despite everything D has already done. This choice that Jon will make will also be despite the North, his beliefs, and despite his siblings. Jon will choose D and evidently, not his honor (cue here Maester Aemon’s words: what is honor compared to a woman’s love, etc.) This then makes the J/D-L/R parallel sensible. This is a version of J/D against the rest of the world, against all the odds.

BUT THEN, we were also bombarded in the past few episodes of how Jon should be smarter than Robb and Eddard—both of whom died because of honor and love. So, another way to read this (and probably the most intriguing) is for Jon to perhaps do the other way around. Jon—loyal to a core to the North and his family—will shed his honor (unlike Ned) and will be unburdened by love (unlike Robb) for ironically, planned and with selfish intent, he has to make D fall in love with him and earn her trust.

Ultimately, as King, this is Jon Snow finally playing the game of thrones.

The only silver lining here is for D to be the one to change, and not Jon. For J/D to make sense, she needs to clear up her issues and questionable judgements on leadership, morality, and power. That is then her big gesture, to fall into Jon’s ideals and principles and of the people he cares for. This will be her paradigm shift from all that she’s worked for and believed in since so many seasons ago; accepting that she is not fit to rule (and not born to rule, once Jon’s identity is finally revealed) and finally shedding off the madness and ruthlessness in her (madness that episode 4 can attest to). She has to see Westeros the way Jon sees it too. She has to be remorseful with her past (and future?) horrific actions (again, once she finds out Jon’s parentage). So, for as long as D’s hunger for the IT won’t recede, J/D is the narrative and the tragedy of Jon losing a core of his self for it, emulating the same mistakes his parents did before him, embodying and solidifying that he is indeed both ice and fire, and starting an unnecessary war, betrayal, and conflict between the kingdoms (and perhaps, even within his siblings)—only this time, it’s much worse, what with the bigger threat of the undead that still looms.

So how does Jonsa play in all of these? Were we all just delusional in seeing those parallels? Were we overanalyzing Jon’s protectiveness? No, I’d beg to differ. I think all these Jonsa hints are even more deliberate as we are also now (assumed) to go canon with the J/D ship. I actually love how these two ships are playing side by side. Because even if small, short, and unseen by the casual viewers, Jonsa hints are scattered all over the episodes since season 6. I’d like to believe that this has a specific and special reason in the narrative. Because while J/D might be the epic, tragic, right-in-your face love story, Jonsa is not. Or I think will it ever be.

I think it’s never supposed to be that anyway because as I see it now, again considering all of the things that is happening, Jonsa is the story that has to creep up with melancholy realization for both Jon, Sansa, and us, the audience, as soon as the dust of war has settled. And if I were to believe that D will find her demise beyond the wall fighting the walkers, then this leaves Jon with only one option: to go home. I still couldn’t fathom him wanting the throne. And before anyone can even raise this, Sansa in this scenario is NOT and NEVER will be a second option. Not when, as I said, she has been creeping up since season 6. She is then, as we’ve seen, already a part of Jon. His reactions in anything that concerns Sansa is a reflex; they now share a quiet natural bond.

As what we have witnessed, listed, and gif-ed (lol!), these Jonsa moments are already too many to be disregarded as simple accidents. I think these moments are planted for posterity and to serve as a reminder for us as soon as the war ends of their certain dynamic building and buried in the middle of all the magic and the spectacle. For all the parallels showrunners have made for Jonsa, Ned/Cat is the most evident. And what else do they perhaps want to make us remember but of that sheer joy, love, and relative peace Ned and Cat had and portrayed in season one?

Jon and Sansa IS Ned and Cat reincarnate. With all these parallels and hints, with Sansa’s competency in ruling, her undying belief in goodness (‘If I’m to be queen, I will make them love me.’), Jon’s stil intact honor, bravery, and love for family, hugely echo Ned/Cat’s ideal courtly, familial life that we have not seen for so long. Jon and Sansa, relieving this scenario again one moment at a time, only affirms that they are or can be, the dream of spring, the two people who can rebuild a home again (vs. J/D’s partnership that saves). And at this point of where we are now in the story, it is literally a wishful thinking. It cannot be realized. Yet.

But, as soon as the WW are defeated and Jon comes home, we can have this. We can finally have this. And no one—any character who had the privilege of witnessing Jon’s protectiveness with anything that concerns Sansa and what with Sansa’s constant talk of Jon—can argue that they did not see this coming. Always, even if just a hunch (LF and Davos’ suspicions), it has always been there. Then on the other hand we, as the audience, both casual and in-depth, have the power to look back on the literature and surprise ourselves with the ingenuity of it all.

It has always been there.

But the best pay-off for this ending is perhaps the fulfillment of Jon and Sansa’s dreams. A loving household they can finally live in. Together. And with the restoration of peace, Jon can also then redeem and revive the honor, the loyalty, and the love he had probably lost along the way in fulfilling his prophecy.

BUT if indeed, it comes to an end where Jon had changed and transformed (to a half-dead, the Night King, D’s husband if she survives, or ultimately shedding the remaining Starkness in him), the bittersweet truth still lies so glaringly. Because we can look back to all these moments and realize that Sansa is Jon’s what could have been. She is his once dream fulfilled before all the chaos, the prophecies, and the truth changed, possessed, and occupied him so. She is the other reality he could have had. As the audience, our power again to revisit each and every episode since the reunion can realize how they could have also worked so, so well; the quiet parallel to the more dramatic, glamorized, and epically soap-opera way J/D has or can happen.

The last three episodes of this season will surely change (or add) more to this thought but at this point, with the promise of bitterness, blood, and eventual spring, this is where I can see the end game going. And so while J/D can become canon, I believe that this does not make Jonsa any less true. Both endgames are a realization and a contrast of the dreams (Jonsa) and the destiny (J*nerys) of the song of ice and fire himself, Jon Snow.

Whew! What do you think? :)

How would the bears react to their crush rejecting them because they're bears?

o boy...

Grizz:

This fluff of brown and energy was already desperate to fit in with the life style of humans, and wanting the very best, but with their crush rejecting him...Their words come and pierce through his grizzly heart. His heart starts to beat in a more slow, hurtful pace, and he can’t help but feel like it’s bleeding. Is...Is this what rejection feels like? He knew Panda went through this, but wow, how did he do it?

“Haha, r-right. I’m just a big ‘ole grizzly bear. We...We can still be friends, right?”

Smiling through the pain he’s experiencing, he wishes them well, before walking off to his cave, fighting back the pessimistic and dark thoughts that surround him. Of course they would reject him, he’s a bear for crying out loud. What else did he expect? Who would date a bear? Everyone’s scared of him anyway, so why did he think he had a chance?

However, thinking in the bright side of things, he’s glad he got those feelings off his chest, and regardless if they stay friends or not, it was better to express how he felt, rather than to bottle those feelings. He may be upset, hurt, and probably wants to cry, but he knows life will go on, and if he needs comfort or whatever it may be, his brothers will be there.

Panda:

On the outside, it seems like he’s taking this surprisingly well, as he experienced with rejection like this multiple times before, but those were just tiny texts on a screen. However, this..This is face to face, and it hits him hard in the gut. Blinking back the tears, he fighting himself not to cry, accepting the fact that his crush doesn’t like him back for a reason he can’t change about himself.

He can’t change to be something else.

He can’t become a human.

He can’t change the fact that he’s a bear.

“O-oh. Right. I’m..I’m just a bear, huh?...S-sorry I..I need to -”

Muttering nonsense, he runs out of sight, and finds somewhere to cry, somewhere to let his feelings out. Yes, he knows that being a bear had its limitations, but not being able to like someone simply because he wasn’t like them? It makes him think. Sitting on the ground, he mopes, he cries, he can’t help but feel like his life changed for the worst. He thought he had a chance. He thought that they were different. He thought that maybe something could go his way.

How wrong of him to ever think that.

Ice Bear:

“Ice Bear believes you’re joking. Ice Bear is too dashing.”

Hearing their thoughts about the polar bear, at first he thinks they’re joking. Why would anyone turn Ice Bear down? He has all the right qualities to be a good boyfriend, so what’s holding him back?

“I can’t like you because well, you’re..You’re a bear. It’d be sick. It’d be disgusting. It’d be horrific, and maybe even creepy. ”

Listening to their rather harsh words, he lets them soak into his brain, taking it in. Sick? Disgusting? Ice Bear did not have a cold, and he was not disgusting. He smelled like babies.

Telling them to consider once more, he wonders if their hearing has gone bad, and if they can’t comprehend a bear like him asking them to be his. Was it that hard to understand?

“I told you Ice Bear; no. I cannot, and will never like you. Just - Just go back to your murky cave with your brothers, you’re making me look like a freak.”

Flinching, he takes in their hate, and can’t help but feel hurt. Did they really feel that way about him? Ice Bear was nothing but kind to them, so why was he receiving this treatment? Snorting, he walks off, shrugging off the rejection looming over him. Fine, if they were going to be like that, so be it. He didn’t need them, he had everything he needed; his brothers, Chloe, Charlie, and a comfortable, cozy cave. Murky? Hah, it was anything but that.

Unlike Grizz and Panda, he does not cry. He does not mope. He does not wish. Heck, he wonders why he even liked that person. If he knew their true colors, he would’ve stop all means of connection possible. Yes...It..It hurt, but what didn’t? Ice Bear was going to be fine, he was sure of it.

He just might need a day or two.

#wow #ice bears crush is a prick am i right haha...#sorry #thank you anon!!!#this was abit heartbreaking #but i loved it #<333 #wbb #we bare bears #wbb grizz #wbb panda #ice bear #wbb ice bear #s/o #rejection #rejected rejected you just got rejected #yes i am a little kid at heart #headcanon #imagine
