Hi idk if this is possible or if ip this makes u uncomfortable but maybe reader x Quackity or ranboo where reader is actor (idk what they/them people who act are called 😭😭😭😭) anyway and maybe there doing an award show and Quackity is was the shows on live and he’s just really supportive about it

hi!! and yes of course! ; also nonbinary actors are just actors, don't worry! even some women/femme presenting entertainers prefer actor over actress so it's no big deal! I don't know too much about award shows so bare with me LMFAO

QUACKITY ; award show

summary ; you've been nominated for best actor in supporting role, and Alex is there to cheer you on

warnings ; language, reader wears a tuxedo

genre ; fluff

word count ; 666 (ooo the devils gonna get me at 3am guys 😨😨)

masterlist

Alex was your biggest fan, genuinely. You built your career from the ground up with him there by your side each step of the way. You'd never stray from your YouTube roots, so when your new movie-fans found your social medias, they were quickly fixated on seeing your content and you with Alex.

You'd been acting in smaller shows and movies for a while, like T@gged, a horror web series, you played a very minor role in The Walking Dead, and almost most importantly, you had a pretty big role in the A24 film Mid90s. Mid90s was basically your breakthrough, and you loved working with your costars and just being a skater who could act.

But, after the release of The Last Of Us, you'd gained a fair amount of new followers and subscribers. You weren't expecting your role to be that important to viewers, but people loved seeing you on screen playing such a different character that completely contrasted yourself. Alex did too, he religiously rewatched the movie just for you and would talk about how awesome or hot you looked in certain scenes. It was flattering. However, you weren't expecting to be nominated in the best actor in a supporting role over it.

You obviously brought Alex with you to the Oscar's, I mean, holy shit, how could you not? You both wear tuxedos, him in a dark burgundy color, and you in a dark grey with a lighter grey pattern. Both of you wear black collared shirts underneath your blazers and sit down at a table. You didn't know anyone else, nor were you friends with anyone else at the event, sadly.

You and Alex sit and talk about the event and the Streamer Awards coming up for him soon and what categories he'd been nominated in. Focusing the conversation on him made you a little less anxious about it all, considering if you for some reason won, you'd have to go on that stage in front of hundreds of people on live television to talk and hold your award.

A few hours pass, and finally, the show starts. You two both show respect for the other actors and filmmakers, but talk in between bits because your anxiety was only getting worse up until the point where you were on screen, showing your nomination for best supporting role.

Alex smiles and nudges your arm, telling you, "Look, it's you!"

You hide your face in your hands, embarrassed and flustered. You quickly smile and wave at the camera, however, until they move on to the other nominees.

"And the winner for Best Supporting Actor is..."

Alex taps his fingers on the table, watching you bounce your leg under the table as you watch.

"Y/n L/n!"

"Oh my God! Holy shit!" Alex shouts, standing up with you. He wraps you in a hug before quickly telling you to go get your award.

You grab his wrist and drag him up backstage and onto the stage, making him stand with you as you claim your award.

"Hi, oh my God, this is- this is crazy! Thank you!" You smile, speaking into the microphone as people clap and cheer for you. "Thank you so much, and thank you to my awesome boyfriend, Alex," You turn back to him, smiling as he holds his hands in front of him, clasped together. "I wouldn't be here without him, and I can't thank him enough. And thank you to all my fans who have been supporting me along the way, even new fans who just learned of my existence. Thank you so much, words can't describe how grateful I am right now"

You smile, looking down at the award before you walk off stage, Alex right behind you. He stops you backstage, wrapping you in a longer hug.

"I'm so proud of you, Y/n/n!" He smiles, "I love you so much"

"The adrenaline feels like drugs at the moment, my face is numb, holy shit"

[swoosbadfuture]

ian and erin headcanons . hi im sane

Ian

Barely scraping 5’7

Half Canadian on his mom’s side

Bisexual, male pref

Straight A* student all aside from literature in which he barely has a B. Do not mention literature to him ever he’ll go mad

superiority complex . start the clown music . he needs to prove he’s the best always because if he isn’t the best then he’s automatically the worst

Very very autistic + low empathy. Prefers logic > emotion . Has a kind of “im not the weird one everyone else is weird I’m the normal one” view by accident

Complete Mama’s boy. you would never expect it but he is her little boy through and through

Gets along well w his dad too but they have very similar personalities and kinda clash a lot . Similar ideals just both very argumentative n stubborn . But god they will sit and listen to music for hours and just go full autism mode over it

Both his parents are very chill though. They are also both goths n r very proud of Ian

He's an only child

Voice breaks the moment he shows any emotion he’ll be talking normally n then get emotional n his voice just 📈

Speaking of which he is overly emotional and very bad at expressing it . very volatile person

Loyal to a fault and very justice oriented but also kinda holds these values to everyone without realising not everyone has the same morals . He doesn’t quite Get that not everyone is the same as him

Overprotective in a way that sometimes comes across as possessive . He’s not possessive he just has issues okay 💔

Phobia of the ocean and everything in it u will never see him on a boat ever he’d rather Die

Was good friends with Jason in kindergarten but kinda drifted apart from him as Jason got closer with Kevin. Kevin and Ian have never liked eachother insult eachother mercilessly. Poor Jason had to sit there and watch as they tried to beat eachother to a pulp. You can tell Kevin hates Ian because he rarely ever calls him by his first name

has a boyfriend in secret. Very much denies it. Only Erin and his parents know and he is trying so very hard to not let the secret out

Wants OUT of McKinley so bad . doesn’t even care abt changing his last name. I imagine McKinley is probably a bit of a small suburban town thats a bit of a bedroom community. The theme park is probably more well known than the town itself. Ian knows that if he just moves a few towns over then the name association will Go Away

Wanted to do astrophysics at college :) thinks space is cool as fuck

Resting face is worse than bitch he looks like he’s about to commit a murder in cold blood . Cold stare 0 emotions. And then suddenly he smiles and he’s just :D

Must stick to a consistent sleep schedule or else he’s a delusional nightmare

Stronger than he looks but would also probably crumple into 1000 pieces if he stubbed his toe

Likes horror movies but is lowkey a bit squeamish . would never admit it though. His favourite movie is Saw 2004 and he has to look away at all the gorey parts

Erin

5’8 and uses this 1 inch she has over Ian for Everything.

German ancestry on her dad’s side but doesn really know much about it besides that It’s There

Bisexual w pref for girls .

She/they nonbinary

Dyed her hair blue once and the ends are still kinda stained . Doesn’t care to cut it off because she thinks it looks cool (it does (it absolutely does))

Actual straight A* student and again uses this against Ian and teases him about his many struggles with Shakespeare

Collects bones n skulls n animal pelts and etc. Owns a few taxidermy animals .

Also very autistic n relates a lot to Ian bc of it

Is actually fairly good at socialising! just hates people

Parents do not understand the whole goth thing but are trying their best . Yes they did freak out when Erin brought home a taxidermy rat she got while out with Ian at an arts fair but oh well what can you do

Used to do figure skating when she was young !! still very confident at ice skating n likes to show off whenever she goes compared to Ian whos constantly falling on his ass. Let her have her moments of glory she deserves them.

The one who does the nail polish. Hence why hers is always perfect and Ian’s is always chipped bc she can always touch hers up whenever she needs to and Ian Cannot

Very aware of Ian’s superiority complex absolutely humbles him every chance she gets

Kinda obsessed w shitty low budget horror movies and indie films

Absolutely adores the art of SFX and fake gore / blood / etc n loved doing it herself. Halloween was her favourite holiday and she’d always go all out with it. Or would grab Ian and make him sit there for 2 hours. “come here sit down I need to see how realistically I can make your hand look like it’s been mauled” “Erin ew what the fuck”

Crush on Wendy that she’d never ever admit to. Only Ian knows and they have a deal where if he doesn’t spill about her crush she won’t spill about his boyfriend. Problem solved (they’re at eachother’s necks over it)

Makes friendship bracelets for her friends. Rest in peace Erin Ulmer you wouldve loved the Loom Bands craze of 2014

the both of them

Social rejects but they own it ™️ . Will literally take in anyone who’s also a bit of a ‘weird kid’ and convert them to goth subculture

Unfortunately this happens never it really do just kinda be the two of them vs the world huh

Dated for like a week once in sophomore year. Broke up immediately after their first kiss and decided they’d just pretend it never happened and that that 1 week of their lives just doesn’t exist. Did not happen ❤️

That being said though RAAAH WHAT ARE THE BOUNDS OF FRIENDSHIP. They hug and cuddle and hold hands and kiss cheeks constantly even if only as friends. Very physically affectionate though partially kinda to fuck with people who can’t seem to understand what the hell is going on with them both

“Oh yeah look at us nobody thinks we’re queer” “Ian we’re goth we might as well have it tattooed on our foreheads” “Fucks sake I can’t have shit in the 21st century”

Friendly banter is fucking insane they are just straightup insulting eachother. You know that one Gumball meme where Gumball is in hospital after being hit by a bus and he gets a card from Darwin saying “that bus should’ve ended you. love Darwin” that’s them that’s them that is them

They care eachother so much they are just bad at vocalising it so if they arent sitting there hugging they instead feel the need to be aggressively mean to eachother in loving and caring way

Erin is way more grounded and has more common sense than Ian who meanwhile is batshit insane at times and will 100% do crazy shit for the hell of it

Both of them rockin up to the town next door w their fake IDs to buy a months worth of R rated movies (fool proof plan (Ian almost got arrested once))

If only they had been around when Vine came out …. they would’ve been famous i tell u

#ian final destination #ian mckinley #erin ulmer #erin final destination #final destination 3 #final destination #headcanon post #im so insane about them ok #literally THE best friends ever

The Spirealm episode 8 reaction

fair warning: in these episode reactions I'm not gonna pretend I haven't read the novel. in fact, I purposely finished the novel before viewing, to get The Full Experience. thus novel spoilers, including twist end, included.

Human Skin Drum door!!!! Yay!!!! I loved this creepy ass door in the novel.

"I need you."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean literally. You can't die."

"... Can you be more specific?"

Another scene where RN is very intense about LQ and LQ is both wrong & right about asking RN to be more upfront. Like, yes, in a way you could say, he said he needs you so don't die. He's been making heart eyes at you since a day after you met. How much more clear do u want the man to be?? But also to be fair, RN isn't throwing all his cards on the table. In both the novel and here in the drama, LQ isn't wrong that RN is still holding back.

"Some people are born to belong to the door."

Cheng Qingli and his horror movies training ! ❤

Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Yuxie relationship is always interesting to me. They have an understanding. Yuxie is upfront that he only cares about his brother and so can't be expected to prioritize LQ. RN doesn't agree with his methods (at least in the novel) but lets him make his choices.

The bracelets to enter the doors together! Yay!! I wanted to see them. I'm excited about this door.

LQ meets a mysterious girl with amnesia, Xu Jin. At least he's hiding his identity.

Li Dongyuan (pretending to be Meng Yu) wheeeeeeeeee ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Drama sprite Ruan Nanzhu, delicate since young 😂.

But not LQ inviting the mystery girl to sleep with them. The other two are like, "..."

Some hurt/comfort caretaking in the night, oh no u have a fever! let me feel your neck and pull your covers back over you!

Fondling a human skin flag, as you do.

"Don't look up." -> camera pans up

me: no! ..... silvia, wyd 😑

lmaooooooo when New Girl plays the oh, ling-ge I'm so scared and then Ruan Nanzhu shamelessly plays up at well 😂😭 "Ling-ge, I'm scared TOO" "who says men can't be easily frightened?" and claiming he's younger asdfghjk he's being so catty.

LQ's actor is clearly playing him as repressing his amusement.

So hyped to see the drum ceiling!!!!!!!

The bloody handprints on his back!!!!

It's really fun to see my fav doors adapted. This is why reading the book first is the best experience for a person like me who doesn't readily imagine pictures in their mind.

LQ is so doting in this episode, inspecting RN for paleness and caretaking him asdfghjk He's clutching his arm protectively for so long.

Yeeessss dude go get wrecked in the rain! Loved this bit. Sad they couldn't make it as horrific as the novel

The way RN immediately pushes LQ back ❤ and note he takes the front when walking out. Suddenly way less frail when there might be a threat.

hiiiii im having my 18th birthdaysoon! 20th of next month! im a little unnerved tbh. but anyways i was wondering if u had any like. anything with that kind of theme. it doesnt have to be literal or even a direct metaphor just. whatever movies you can think of that deal with sort of like. the last step of coming of age. adulthood. aging. anything that remotely parallels that. preferably w no SA. if you got nothing for that maybe a few horror movies that you really like that i can watch on my Special Day im really feeling like just binging horror movies all day recently. youre like the horror movie expert that i follow lol so id be happy to check out your suggestions

omg exciting…..turning 18 felt weird yes but i hope its a good birthday and a good age for you!! i’ll try to think of some good horror recs for the occasion lets see!

- raw 2016, one of my very favorite horror movies and definitely one of my favorite coming of age horror films! its a cannibalism flick with a great score and themes on sisterhood and family and fate and becoming the adult you are, whether you want to or not. kind of intense and gross but its really good. oh its also french sorry but its worth it

- pyewacket 2017, about a girl with a tense relationship with her mother who dabbles with some occult stuff that she shouldnt and has to try to handle whether she really woke something up with it, or if its in her head. a lot about growing up + mother child relationships, i think this is an underrated gem

- we’re all going to the worlds fair 2021, its a bit younger than 18 but its a gorgeous and strange reflection on coming of age that i think will resonate a lot especially for people who grew up online and/or are queer/trans. it’s a very odd and stylistic piece so its a bit hit or miss for people but i like it a lot. the MC is younger than you but i think its a really striking story! its kind of moody and left me a little sad (its not a tragedy tho) so maybe not a happy birthday film

- carrie 1976, obviously this is a classic coming of age film if you havent seen it i cant recommend it enough! its just really good. score is great, acting is great, visually its stunning and colorful and awesome. a classic for a reason

- excision 2012, this one is again very weird and also heavy on psychosexual themes but theres not any assault that i remember. does the dog die says there may be one kiss that is unwanted but it doesnt stand out in my mind fwiw. this is a visually bizarre movie about trying to be who you want to be, who you think you ought to be, and who your family wants you to be. very much coming of age, very very weird

- hatching 2022, again this one is about a character younger than 18 but i think the practical effects work is stunning and the themes about growing up, family, expectations, and loneliness are applicable even though the mc is young. its really gross visually and i love that!

wow these have all been girls uh theres a lot of weirdgirl horror about coming of age i guess. those are also all pretty serious, emotionally heavy films too so lemme think of some more that are a little different

- the lost boys 1987, this is a lot lighter than some of the others! its a very fun california coast set vampire coming of age movie, very 80s, very homoerotic

- the final girls 2015, its a meta horror comedy about getting sucked into a friday the 13th esque slasher film starting the protags recently deceased mom. again, lots of mother child relationship work, surprisingly touching story about growing up and grief and handling that

i’ll also rapidfire toss some out that are related to birthdays, if thats more your speed on this: child’s play 1988 (andy barclay gets chucky for his 6th birthday, kind of self explanatory i assume you know who chucky is), happy death day 2017 (a girl gets stuck reliving her birthday over and over and dying each time, she has to figure out who’s killing her and handle some nice coming of age/family themes, its a horror comedy), bloody birthday 1981 (very very cusp of 70s 80s horror about three evil kids with the same birthday who are evil due to the planet’s alignment at the time, they like to kill people, it is what it is. no sexual assault iirc but they do peep on a girl changing), madhouse 1981 (a woman is chased down by her insane twin in the days leading up to their birthday, this one is kind of mid but the ending is pretty strong and iconic to me)….that might be it off the top of my head :-)

hopefully some of those sound fun to you!! if not come back and i can rec some more, theres heaps of coming of age horror out there these are just some that came to mind

#yayyy giving recs happy to be considered your resident expert :D #asks #captaiinobvious #kora.txt #long post

[loverboy-ish-archive]

ok hi got back from watching Smile 2022 and it... was... a movie. :/ i don't fully regret going to watch it bc at least i'm doing Something with my time but like... some things bothered about it like i knew it would.

alright so spoiler-free warnings:

ableism. saw this coming a mile away bc the main character's a doctor so :/ although i will say it came from some of the characters saying ableist shit ("mental cases") rather than the actual narrative's message. ... I think. i don't know if the movie was going for an actual message or just Being A Horror Movey.

suicide. first scene (aftermath), hospital scene (happens on-screen And You Can See It), and others of other people (mentioned, shown post-mortem, one video that is Also Graphic).

gore and body horror.

animal death.

alright so. spoiler-filled territory under the cut (+ some more clarification, i guess. mention/implied past child abuse).

this movie made me mad actually quite early on lmao. there is one patient, Carl (who isn't affected by the curse, so he lives he's. Alive), and the interview Rose (the main character) had with him just felt... :/ "i know these things feel real but they can't hurt you" sort of end to their "conversation" idk that feels... like she's a bad doctor like c'mon that's not fucking helping "it's all in your head" type of bullshit.

and, again, other forms of ableism -- other characters calling Rose's patients "mental cases" and the like. -_- was that Fucking Necessary. i mean i GUESS it lends to #realism and possibly even a hint of a critique or an indication to the otherwise uninformed audience that the mental health industry is kinda shit + people should be, idk, nicer or w/e. i'm not gonna give it that much credit.

i don't think the Graphic On-Screen Suicide was necessary. i know it's a horror movie but like. man? on top of that there's also photographs of suicide aftermaths + one video of a suicide in progress. which... alright i guess they're not As Bad.

more petty i guess + poking at plot-holes but: Rose kinda annoyed me. just as a person. girl i know you're running on No Sleep At All + So Much Fear + Trauma but why would you show THOSE photos to your sister. ok tbf she's dealing with it (Badly) so i might not be entirely fair to her (and there was one scene where she was being a bit daft but it was a Dream All Along) but still. yeah idk i'm sorry Rose nvm (but also. the photos. why're you telling your SISTER THIS. C'MON.)

on a neutral note: i was Not expecting an actual monster reveal. the design for the creature at the end (at the Very End, not the Mom Creature) was interesting + tied in with the title, i'll give it that.

on a positive note? i guess? maybe it did have something to say-- mental health is a Thing, you can't really completely heal from trauma (and even guilt -- because Rose, at ten years old, let her mother die -- tbf she was scared of the woman), but you can try to move on with your life and heal as best you can. kinda undone by the ending tho, bc it IS a horror movey and they LOVE twist endings. ah well. btw i did guess it as one of a few possible endings.

the characters... i thought they were fine enough. rose's boyfriend/fiance, trevor, felt kinda flat -- or more like a stock character i guess, Boyfriend Who Doesn't Believe Girlfriend -- which :/ sucks (Even tho it'd be difficult to believe All That LMAO but still tho). ummm the relationship between rose + holly felt real to me, or at least believable. idk i don't Know shit like this + i'm not very coherent LMAO. uhhh i liked rose's therapist, she felt normal + realistic to me.

honestly i think apart from the things that Annoyed + Concerned Me it was an ok horror movie. i'd probably watch a sequel. i wouldn't recommend it tho :/

idk if anyone else has seen it lmk what u think (But also don't feel Pressured to see it.) bc maybe i'm being too harsh on it bc i only just got back like... idk 30 or so minutes ago LOL

#jv.docx #suicide mention #yeah. i wouldn't recommend this movie. #which is a shame bc i WAS looking forward to it despite :( knowing there was a Mental Health Angle (which is rarely a good sign)

[crabcrabcrabmeat]

ten films i love, tagged by @javert

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack (1988) Utterly obvious to die girlies auf tumblr but don’t worry, it’s the only franchise gatekeepy one. God tier animation, OST that gives me heart palpitations, plot symbolically rich in a way that draws me back. Absurdly ambitious and largely pulls it off. Insane. Phantom of the Paradise (1974) I’m a sucker for leitmotifs being re-contextualized and this movie is exactly that. I think a lotta people are put off by musicals because they expect Glee shit, so a horror rock opera that plays w genres is a style that slaps. In fact, it’s style over substance to the point that while the character Beef was made with homophobic intent(?), he makes for killer camp. So influential it buried its own grave deeper, but when my drag career continues proper I WILL have it step out of RHPS’s shadow. Magnetic Rose (1995) This one’s arguably cheating, it’s a short film within a theatrical omnibus and the only one of the trio I rewatch, lol. Better experienced than described, but iirc it’s the first screenplay credit of Satoshi Kon and his style benefits the conceit greatly. The space physics are top tier too. Bound (1996) Genre fiction that fucks. Akira (1988) After watching this for the first time, I wore a rip of it on a USB necklace for like a good month, lol. If you’ve seen so many homages and #aesthetic gifs that its memetically weakened, the manga will be a better vehicle for experiencing the actual plot and themes. (Kaneda isn’t a cool protag! He’s not even in it for a full volume!) But I fortunately got to go into it w next to no preconceptions. Tampopo (1985) One of those art-house pics that’s fun to general audiences. I wouldn’t watch it with young kids or new friends tho given the prawn scene, lmao. The Terminal (2004) Not a masterpiece by anyone’s standards, but it was my fav for years as a child and I’ve been told “thats so you” or “that explains so much” lmao. I still do love seeing how peoples values and coping mechanisms materially shape their world, so, fair! As an adult, i think Tucci’s character holds up the best, his tone is comedically sound while being realistically mundane for an american authoritarian, lol. Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) A breath of fresh air in style and substance. It’s like a vaccine against MCU sludge. God I need to watch more new wave. The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) Again, former obsessions here, not necessarily top quality. The first vignette is the only one that sticks with me, but boy does it! Gold standard for any fanfiction or diagetic media criticism. Mikey and Nicky (1976) Ough. Love me a good tragedy. This one manages to hit so hard it even overcomes Peter Falk being styled (‘styled’) like Columbo—italian accent and all— while playing a jewish gangster lol.) You know that post about how the more serious and well made a story is, the more likely its fandom makes unhinged memes? That’s me every time I make a “full of milk” joke abt this movie or realize it’s fundamentally changed my experience of taking antacids.

Anyways please note that i’ve structured this list so that the first and last entries form a niche parallel. That is to say, a personal fav scene in both Mikey & Nicky and CCA is where the lead guys fistfight and tumble onto the ground in a blur of violence-as-latent-homoeroticism. (George lucas voice): it’s like poetry, it rhymes.

I'm too shy to tag others but mutuals I Am Pressuring U lovingly. U don’t have to write as much as i did tho lol.

#abs blabs #made this more reviewy in the name of being interesting #i think the better question is 'worst movies you've seen' but ig that could have less variety person to person #also i specify lead guys because quess IS a cca protag

[yes-divine-ruler]

HII!! I was hoping you could ship me with an Evan character??

I’m 5’6 with curly brown (kinda black) hair shoulder length, tanner kinda mixed skin tone, brown eyes, I wear glasses, im kinda curvy kinda petite??

Hobbies??: Drawing, Skateboarding, crafting, gaming, listening to music and reading, and omg I LOVE horror movies. I also really like collecting and journaling

I understand if u can’t do this req but thank you so anyways 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I ship u w/ Max Cooperman

I think y’all would have a lot of fun together, he’d be into your skateboarding, you’d share the same music tastes and he would definitely be down for gaming on a quiet night in. I think everyone would see you as this really chill, laid back couple.

Max would definitely expect you to make up a little journal showcasing your relationship, and he’d keep it so he can look back on it later.

I feel like you’d both be risky people, kinda like adrenaline junkies, and his idea of a perfect date would be going to a fair and trying all the roller coasters.

[cidnangarlond]

What were some of your fav films from last year, Jack? I haven't caught up on much of em yet so mine may just be the Weird Al biopic lol, but Glass Onion was fun too

See due to many reasons I wasn't able to go see really anything in theaters, if the movie had a theatrical release, so what I say here is based on opinions I've formed from various reviews, clips, posts, etc etc. That said, Glass Onion did seem to be a very good film, and the Weird Al "biopic" (I have it in quotes because making a movie about your life where every detail is completely wrong and is all fabricated on purpose is such an incredible move) I do very much need to see.

I did go and see The Batman in theaters which I enjoyed a lot and didn't even realize it was as long as it was. I did also see The Northman and enjoyed that too, but I do wish Mr. Skarsgard showed hog because it's only fair to have full-frontal male nudity if female actresses consistently do it. Barbarian I had a great time with because I'm familiar with the director-writer Zac Cregger's comedy work in Whitest Kids U' Know and it's great to see him transition into horror so smoothly.

Skinamarink personally is up there, people are of the opinion that it's a deeply polarizing movie and either you love it or hate it, and I loved it. I did also watch Banshees of Inisherin and didn't completely care for it or get the hype, I just wasn't crazy about it. Interesting story but I don't necessarily understand the amount of praise it gets, especially when people are praising Barry Keoghan for playing a man that is said to have some kind of mental slowness, or at least heavily implied, and people saying the scene between him and Kerry Condon where Dominic tries asking her out as she gently lets him down as "heartbreaking" like would it still be heartbreaking if he was just a guy and not "slow." It felt weird to see that opinion and people agree you know.

A lot of nominated and not nominated movies I still want to see when I have time, like X, Pearl, Everything Everywhere (desperately hoping it wins something major at the Oscars), Puss in Boots, Triangle of Sadness, Tár, Decision to Leave, another adaptation of All Quiet On The Western Front (but I still believe the 1930 adaptation will always be best regardless so I'm going into it biased here), Nope, RRR, Aftersun, The Menu, Babylon for shits and giggles.

I don't really care about The Whale because I'm not a fan of Darren Aronofsky - and people were saying The Whale felt exploitative, and it probably was because this is Aronofsky we're talking about what did you expect - likewise The Fablemans doesn't interest me I don't particularly care but I know Spielberg is going to get something because his name is attached to it aside from the fact it's a deeply personal movie but I'm just not interested. I'm not watching Top Gun: Maverick because I could not care less about it, Hollywood's nostalgia, Tom Cruise, and the insane amount of USAmerican military propaganda within it. The same goes for Avatar: The Way of Water because it's also shit and James Cameron's comments on Native Americans are deeply offensive and he should choke. I also don't care about Elvis but Hollywood loves a dead musician to make movies about

Unfortunately I do think Avatar, Top Gun, and Elvis will win a lot because The Academy is what it is, which is mostly rich, white, old nostalgia-loving people, which will be slowly but surely changing as the eldest members die off but it is what it is. I'd love Everything Everywhere to win a lot, I'd love to see Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan win, it'd be nice for Brendan Fraser to get an award but after what Hollywood did to him it would feel so disingenuous even if he did turn in what I heard to be an amazing performance. Jamie Lee Curtis is probably going to win Best Supporting Actress over Stephanie Hsu.

But these are just my thoughts and opinions and I would desperately love to be proven wrong dear god let the Academy prove me wrong. But after last year I am keeping my expectations so low. Take a shot for every joke or reference about "the slap" and you will be dead before the end of the night.

Chucky Versus M3GAN: The Debate Rages On!

The internet has no shortage of feuds, from celebrities to families to movies about the multiverse. A new one that’s appeared recently is between two horror dolls. Some of you may not know this, but Chucky of the Child’s Play franchise has his own Twitter account (@ChuckyIsReal), as does M3GAN (@meetM3GAN). Over the past few days, they’ve been taking shots at one another.

After the trailer for M3GAN dropped, Chucky retweeted the video with the caption, “everybody’s tryna be me.” Ironically, while M3GAN does bear more than a passing resemblance to a Chucky, it’s not the O.G. 1988 one played by Brad Dourif.

Based on the trailers alone, M3GAN has quite a few things in common with the 2019 version of Child’s Play. In that version, Chucky wasn’t a doll possessed by a serial killer through voodoo magic. Instead, Chucky (voiced there by Mark Hamill) was a malfunctioning A.I. who just wanted to be his owner’s friend—even if it meant having to kill a few people to do it.

The next day, in response to Chucky’s call-out post, M3GAN replied to that tweet which said, “u Know u that doll when u cause all this conversation,” captioned with a GIF of her taking off her sunglasses from the trailer.

Besides that, in response to Chucky’s posting, “word to the wise: don’t fk with the chuck,” M3GAN responded back with a ‘lol chucky plss.”

Chucky is the killer doll to beat, but it turns out he might have been beaten. The producers, star, and director of M3GAN all think that the deadly A.I.-powered doll from the upcoming Universal horror-thriller would totally kick Chucky’s butt.

“M3GAN’s got this,” Allison Williams, the star of the movie, tells SYFY WIRE at a press junket ahead of the Jan. 6 release date. “It feels so simple to me. M3GAN can just do all of the research there is on Chucky’s weaknesses in a millisecond and figure it out. She has too many resources. It’s not a fair fight.”

Williams knows M3GAN’s resources well. In the movie, she plays Gemma, a roboticist at a toy company who invents a robotic doll named M3GAN. When she unexpectedly takes custody of her niece, Cady, after her parents die in a car accident, Gemma deploys M3GAN to be Cady’s new best friend (and, essentially, parental figure, since Gemma’s not quite cut out for it). Things go wrong, though, because M3GAN is protective, smart, quick-learning, and equipped with access to the internet and all the world’s knowledge, as well as some sort of carbon-fiber skeleton. All of these things make her more than a match for Chucky — a standard cloth and plastic Good-Guy Doll possessed by a tenacious but not especially brilliant serial killer.

“There’s no question that M3GAN would definitely win. She’s much smarter than Chucky,” says Jason Blum, the powerhouse horror producer behind M3GAN and many other Blumhouse Productions. The other big-name producer of the movie, co-writer James Wan of The Conjuring and Malignant fame, was inclined to cut Chucky a break.

“I’m a big Child’s Play fan,” Wan said. “They’re playing in different worlds.”

“James is more diplomatic than me,” quipped Blum.  

Gerard Johnstone, who directed M3GAN, also gave the W to the TikTok-dancing robot doll. Ever the entertainer, though, Johnstone wanted there to be a good fight.

“I have to say M3GAN, obviously, but for the viewers, we would have to make sure it’s not a quick decision,” he said. “M3GAN would just keep him alive long enough to prove a point.”

It’s a brutal outcome for Chucky, though perhaps an expected one. If we’d asked Don Mancini or other people behind the series, they might have named Chucky the winner. It’s possible that Team M3GAN is discounting Chucky’s supernatural abilities, but unless (until?) there’s a crossover, we won’t know for sure.

OYOYOY ok so i like to collect blades and weapons, like swords and battle axes and shields, right? how would duwang gang react to a reader who collects blades, and like their house has axes and spears and stuff mounted on the wall, and they like to (carefully!) demonstrate with them and show them off when visitors come over. how would duwang gang feel knowing their friend is like a Viking lol

Duwang Gang Reacting to Reader's Weapon Collection!

Anon u are so cool ily

Josuke Higashikata

- He first found out about your collection when you called him up, asking if he could use Crazy Diamond

- In all honesty he panicked and thought he you got hurt, you were crying after all

- Turns out mid-cleaning your favorite axe broke and needed it to be fixed

- He was so taken aback at your display,,like he thought this was some horror movie level shit

- But ngl it was sort of cool, he was happy to see you show off your skills after Josuke fixed your axe

Okuyasu Nijimura

- Oh my god he loves it

- Please let his dreams come true and let him have a sword fight with you

- If you say no I'd imagine him trying to sneakily take a sword just to see how it feels

- But if you do- both of you will be wearing so much protection and have Josuke on deck for any accidents

- Okuyasu is just a very reckless and emotionally driven fighter, it's just a necessary precaution

Koichi Hirose

- I'm gonna be honest- your collection set off his fight or flight response

- Thought he was in another Yukako situation tbh

- Your collection is neat, but it's a bit overwhelming for a scaredy cat like Koichi

- Fair to say to not show them off to him, but he'd gladly listen to you go on about them!!

- How you got it, their history, etc, Koichi is all for it!

Rohan Kishibe

- Congratulations! You've become the new Koichi!

- He's never expected a collection as grand as this out of you, so bet your ass he'll be studying you for his manga

- It's common for him to grab at any weapons you have, saying he needs them for references

- He even asks you to show him your demonstrations, all in the name of artistic reference

- Totally not because he just likes how badass you look

This is a Ghost Story: Part III

I wake up, shaking, terrified. The exact details of the nightmare fade rapidly, but the feelings stay. My skin is clammy and sweaty, my hands shaking, and I yelp loudly when I look up to see the dark shape silhouetted against the window. It is tall and humanoid, with glowing eyes, like the way headlights reflect off of animals’ eyes in the dark. I blink, and it’s gone. Then, because my life is a horror movie now, feel the blankets bunching further down the bed, the mattress shifting. The movements grow closer, and I am frozen in fear, unable to move even to try to get away, but then- then the movement stops. And I feel a weight on my shoulder, and though I expect it to feel like a claw grasping me, it isn’t. A weight and size like a hand, rubbing down my back, in soft and soothing motions. Oh.

“Hey,” I say, and I can hear how terrified I sound.

“It’s nice to, uh, to see you. Feel you. And uh. Thanks.”

It takes me a while to calm down. Obviously. And to be honest, the presence of the ghost doesn’t help, but I appreciate the gesture, so I don’t comment. The idea that the ghost can actually physically touch me is… it’s deeply unsettling. Because then, what else can the ghost do to me, should I piss them off sufficiently? They haven’t done anything other than express frustration with their situation, which is fair. Being stuck in this flat for all eternity doesn’t seem ideal. They haven’t done anything to threaten me since I started talking to them. They haven’t, really, given me any reason to be afraid. But then, that’s never stopped me before.

-

“Will you tell me your name?”

No

“Okay. Fair. Can you tell me when you died?”

T-h-i-r-t-y-o-n-e-y-e-a-r-s-a-g-o

“Oh, wow, that’s before I was born. What happened?”

F-i-r-e.

“Oh. Like the old building. I’m sorry. Do you have- I know it’s been a while, but is there anyone you would like me to… I guess to contact? To tell any last words to?”

There is a long pause, long enough that I almost think they have left. Then they move the planchette to no. Oh. That’s- that’s sad, isn’t it?

“I’m sorry.”

I wait as long as I think polite.

“Can you… uh. How far can you go? I’m sorry, I’m just curious. About, uh, ghost limits, I guess. Are you just haunting my place, or the building in general?”

N-o-t-f-a-r

T-h-i-s-f-l-o-o-r

“Aww, bummer. I was hoping you could tell me what the howling coming from the basement is.”

W-e-r-e-w-o-l-f

“Oh. They come up here?”

H-o-w-l-i-n-g-o-n-l-y-h-a-p-p-e-n-s-d-u-r-i-n-g-f-u-l-l-m-o-o-n

“Ah. Yeah, I hadn’t kept track. That makes sense, though. Have there been any werewolf related deaths in the building, do you know?”

No

“That’s good. I’ll make sure to be on watch during the next one.”

I lean back on my old sofa, whose cover is scratched up by some past renter’s cat, or possibly the ghost on a particularly bad day. Speaking off.

“I know you don’t want to tell me your name, but it would be pretty easy for me to find out. Can’t have been that many fires in this building thirty one years ago. Would it be safe to assume you do not want me to try to find out?

Yes d-o-n-t

“Fair enough. I promise. I’m Morgan, by the way. Which, which I guess you know from hearing me answer the phone. Is there anything you want me to call you? Ghost? Flatmate?”

The planchette moves to Boo which is an addition to the spirit board I’ve made in black marker. Ghost it is, I guess. After this, the ghost seems to run out of energy, or interest in the conversation. This seems to be about the cut off point, time-wise, every time. A few minutes. But I did get almost a full sentence today, so that’s pretty cool.

After double checking both a calendar and the night sky to make sure today is not a full moon, I head down to the basement storage units. It’s an even split between the singular largeish flat down here, and space for the storage units belonging to each flat. It’s damp down here, and smells unpleasant, and the lights flicker. They don’t eventually go out, they just perpetually flicker, as if that is their intended purpose. But then, this is a haunted building, so maybe some other dead soul is lurking down here, fucking with the wiring.

Here, behind the wire door and the fifth padlock I’ve had to buy, despite no one ever actually stealing anything, is where my art supplies live. It’s hard, when you work, to have the time and enthusiasm to get out canvas and paints. I keep and use a sketchbook, but anything bigger? Haven’t touched it since graduation years ago. Something about having to work a low wage job anyway just really takes the wind out of your, uh, poorly stretched canvases. I bring up a few of the really big ones, a few with the hint of sketches, but most of them untouched. Some paints and the better brushes, too.

“Hey,” I tell Ghost, “I know you enjoy doing finger painting with blood on the walls, but it’s really hard to clean, and I can’t really afford to lose my deposit, and also, to be honest, it smells kind of bad. So. I brought you some canvases and brushes and stuff. So maybe you can use these instead of the walls?”

The singular open window rattles in a deliberate way in response.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” I tell them, and lay out some newspaper, and set the canvases up along the wall on top, ready for spectral arts and crafts.

The next morning, I wake up to a new painting. It is, judging by the smell and colour and crustiness, still blood. And judging by the brushstrokes, still finger painted. But it is on the canvas, and that’s definitely a step up. It is a figure, who looks a bit like me, staring wide eyed at the viewer, and a towering dark and nebulous shape behind me, clawed hands on my shoulder, pale eyes looking at the viewer. Huh. It’s pretty good. Expressionistic, certainly. Unnerving? Absolutely. But I think it’s a nice selfie of the two of us, rather than a threat. At least, given circumstances, that is what I am going to choose to believe.

“That’s very cool!” I tell them, “please feel free to experiment with the actual paint, too. I don’t know where you are getting the blood from, and I am starting to worry!”

natasha romanoff relationship alphabet

requested by anon!

a - actions. what sort of things do they do to show they love their s.o?

for nat, her main love language is protecting you. you're literally the most important thing in her life and given how dangerous her job is, ensuring you're safe is her main priority. expect her to steal you some hella cool weapons and teach you basic (or even advanced) self defence. she'll also text you to make sure you're okay during the day and she'll never go to sleep until you've texted to say you're home safe.

b - beginnings. how did the relationship begin? how has it changed?

s l o w l y. this is the black widow we're talking about, so she would have spent a very long time trying to deny her feelings for you. once she's admitted them to herself, admitting them to you doesn't seem so hard, but it probably would have taken a lot of advice from more reasonable minds - i.e sam & steve - to guide her. the thing about natasha is that once you've got her, you've got her, so it's changed in the sense that she's gone from hiding her feelings for you to laying herself bare. no buts, no coconuts. she's yours.

c - comfortable. how comfy are they with each other? peeing with the door open close, or would they rather keep the mystery?

nat probably tried to keep the mystery at first, but it's so much energy. she's happy to just live as her true self in front of you so don't be surprised if you start most your days complaining to her about the ginger hair she's left all over the shower.

d - dates. do they consider dates to be important? what kind do they prefer?

dates aren't the most important thing for nat -- she loves spending time with you on the daily but designated date nights aren't her priority. with that said, if she does do them, they'll be super lowkey. it'll either be a movie night in with takeout, or she'll surprise you on your lunch break.

e - engagement. how would they propose? who would even pop the question?

i don't get the vibes that nat would want to get married - if anything, she's more likely to go into a long ass speech about how relationships don't need to be legally binding to mean something, and it's all just a capitalist lie and...yeah, you stopped listening at that point. but the main take away is, it's not essential to her. but if you really, really wanted to get married, and if it was a very significant thing to you? she'd do it in a heartbeat.

f - fundamental. for them, what is the most fundamental part of a relationship?

trust. natasha has gone her whole life not knowing who to trust and without anyone to turn to. she's naturally suspicious of everyone around her so she would need absolute and complete faith in her s.o, because you are the one person she never wants to question.

g - gratitude. how do they show their appreciation for you?

by opening up to you. it's something that nat rarely does, but it shows how must love and trust she has for you.

h - home. a random domestic headcanon.

everyone pictured natasha's apartment being like...a concrete box, but it's actually amazing. everything is colour co-ordinated and aesthetic and it's cluttered, but in the best way.

i - infinite. do they believe their love is endless, or is there something that could break it?

if you went behind her back or betrayed her, that would be it. the minute she stops trusting you is the minute it's over - and while she could never fully stop loving you, nothing in the world could fix it.

j - jokes. who’s the funny one?

it's a tie. nat has a more deadpan sense of humour, but she always makes you laugh.

k - kiss. how do they kiss? favourite type?

nat does this thing when she kisses you where she puts a hand on the back of your neck and gives it a light squeeze when she wants to make it deeper, and she loves biting on your lower lip to tease you before quickly pulling away - especially if you're about to go and meet the others or go to a meeting - because she knows it'll be on your mind for the rest of the day

l - longing. who’s the clingy one? how are they with long distance?

nat can deal with long distance, and she has to, because of her job, and she can absolutely be the clingy one when she's in the right mood.

m - marriage. do they wanna get married?

see engagement! i accidentally covered it there

n - nicknames. what ones do they like?

she likes babe, sweetheart and darling

o - over the top. are they ever ott? or are they more low-key?

definitely more low-key. everything about natasha is on the down low and super sly, so her love is no different. she doesn't really do grand displays of affection but she absolutely does show her love for you through more intimate and personal actions.

p - picture. what’s their favourite picture of them and their s.o?

it's actually one of just you; one halloween, the team decided they all had to go as a respective avenger and you ended up going as steve. there's a picture of you holding his shield and drinking pimms from his helmet and it's been her phone background ever since.

q - quintessential. what is one they would refuse to compromise in their relationship? what’s a deal-breaker for them?

mutual respect. you respect her and she respects you. if she ever had to deal with anything that even slightly compromised her respect for you or for herself, that would be it.

t - tattoo. would they ever get matching tattoos with their s.o, or a tattoo for them?

she's vehemently against matching tattoos, but she would definitely get a small one for you - maybe something on one of her fingers, or her ankle

u - understanding. how understanding are they? or are they a little difficult?

nat is the least difficult person ever. she's so understanding of you & your feelings and she will always respect them and go out her way to help you if you need it.

v - vases. do they buy flowers?

always!! at least once a week.

w - wandering. do they wanna travel? or immediately settle down?

nat has travelled a fair amount because of her job, but it was always for the wrong reasons. she would absolutely love to go on actual vacations/holidays with you - for example, it's her dream to go to the south of france to sun bathe, and not to chase an international criminal. as for settling down, she absolutely would. it might take a while for her to feel like she's ready to retire, but once she has, your her whole future.

x - ex. how many exes do they have? any horror stories?

no actual legit exes, but definitely a couple one night stands that became obsessed with her.

y - you. favourite thing about their partner?

the fact you feel like home. nat's life was so uncertain for so long that the stability you bring is beyond anything she could have ever imagined.

z - zeal. how excitable are they? who’s the calm one?

nat is absolutely the calm one (she's literally been trained to be). she is a rock. she is an i-i-island.

Poor Baby

Idol: Blackpink

Anon: Hey~ Um I was just wondering if u were taking requests right now? If so I was wondering if u could do a platonic reader x blackpink. Like a 5th member. And she gets scared after watching a movie and is to embarrassed to tell them until she can’t sleep anymore and breaks her silence? If not that’s obviously fine haha ✨😅😌✨

☕buy me a coffee☕

“I don’t get why we’re watching this when Jennie unnie obviously won’t get any sleep.” You muttered while wrapping your blanket around yourself and popping some candy into your mouth. Lisa lightly pushed your leg so she could sit next to you and you comply, snuggling into her side for warmth as she happily wrapped her arms around you.

Meanwhile, Jennie had to roll her eyes at your claim before tossing a pillow at your face. “Shut up. Lisa picked the movie and we all agreed to watch before she even said anything.” The older woman grumbled and you blew her a kiss to ease her annoyance, only to earn a pout instead.

“If you’re going to make me sit through this, at least cuddle with me and not her.” She whined, making you groan as you were being forced to move from your comfortable position.

Chaeyoung giggled at the three of you before she plopped herself next to the maknae and gave you a tiny push. “Come on, Y/n unnie. You know she won’t leave you alone if you don’t do what she says.” The blonde reminds, making you groan louder before rolling off the couch and walking over to the expectant rapper who already had her arms outstretched for you.

Lisa whined, both at you leaving and for taking the blanket with you before Jisoo came back with another blanket, tossing it at the pair while she took the beanbag, finding more comfort there whilst Jennie nuzzled her cheek against yours.

“Don’t look so glum, angel. At least you have me.” Jennie tells you and you roll your eyes playfully. “That’s exactly why I dislike the arrangement. You’re going to turn me deaf with all the screaming you’re going to do.” With a scoff, the older woman pinched your cheek while Jisoo laughed at your protests.

“Oh, Y/n, you never learn. Just because she calls you angel, doesn’t mean you are one.” The eldest teases when you’re finally released and allowed to tend to your poor cheek. “That’s just mean.” You whimpered pathetically, earning a snort from Lisa and a giggle from Chaeyoung while the woman next to you scoffed.

Jennie pouted at you before kissing the side of your face and then holding you close to her smaller frame. “Y/n is my angel and you’re just jealous because you want her, too.” She stated confidently, even adding a “Don’t even think about denying it, Lisa. I saw you sulking when she left the couch.” that caused the said girl to shut her mouth with a huff, cuddling further into her best friend.

“Okay, so maybe we do argue on who’s closest to Y/n but the only reason you think it’s you is because you’re always asking her to come to you and she’s too much of a wuss to say no.” Jisoo said with a wave of her hand and Jennie pouted as you stared at the eldest. “Yah! That’s not true!”

But she was already looking at you with her eyes squinted, a challenge already brewing in the air. “Alright, then come over here.” She tells you.

“Don’t you dare.” Jennie quickly tells you, a glare already fixed on your face. “Come on,  Y/n. You’re no wuss, right?” Jisoo was already smirking at you as you did your best to avoid looking at the rapper who had a vice like grip around your waist.

“This is only your excuse so unnie stays next to you and not any of us. Let her pick.” Chaeyoung soon came to your aid and you mentally thanked the girl for being your savior.

However her words don’t fully register until all four of them are staring at you.

“Okay. Y/n, why don’t you choose who you’re sitting next to?” Jisoo’s smirk had only widened when you  fidgeted in place. Lisa was grinning from ear to ear, even extending her arms out to you as though it was tempting enough to choose her while Jennie was already back to pouting as her arms squeezed around you while she cuddled your side.

And then, the woman who had brought you into this predicament was giving you a sweet smile that promised you that you wouldn’t regret your decision if you ever choose to sit by her instead because Chaeyoung loves to cuddle you and she will not hesitate to do so if you ever decide to stay with her.

Finally coming to a decision, you opened your mouth, only to close it shut when you hear the small voice of the girl next to you. “You know I’ll end up crying.” Jennie stared at you with big doe eyes and your heart stopped at the little whimper that came from her.

Instantly, whatever thoughts you previously had were thrown out the window as you wrapped your arms securely around the smaller woman. “Unnie, no, it’s gonna be okay. You don’t have to cry.”

There was a chorus of groans from all your members and Jennie, with her head resting on your chest, stuck her tongue out at them when you can’t see. “I told you!” Jisoo hollered as Lisa pouted. “That’s so not fair! You cheated!” She complained whilst the Aussie sighed while shaking her head. “I tried.”

“I wasn’t cheating! You all know I get scared easily!” The brunette shot back. “You guys know I hate it when at least one of you cry.” You tried to reason and Jennie nodded her head before giving you a big kiss on the cheek. “This is exactly why you’re my angel and not theirs.”

Chaeyoung pouts this time as she sat upright. “Hey, Y/n unnie is my angel, too. She was clearly going to choose me but she was too nice to let you be on your own.” She defended and then gave you a sweet smile. “You love me way more than Jennie unnie, right?”

Not only did she put you on the spot again, but she even had the audacity to look innocent while doing it.

“I love all of you equally, Chaeng.” You reply while your eyes narrowed at the mischievous little glint in her eyes. “But that’s not what you told me the other night when you slept in my room.”

“What?!”

“Excuse me?”

“You did what?”

Your eyes widened in time with the chorus of replies your other three members’ exclamation and Jennie even gave you a push so that she could see your face. “What is she talking about?”

“Yo! Since when did you sleep in Chaeyoung’s room?” Lisa yelled, flabbergasted. “I’d like to know, too. It’s usually us sneaking in your room, so I want to hear this story.” Jisoo said with a suspicious look on her face.

“It’s not what it looks like! We were literally just playing around and I certainly did not say I loved her more than any of you.” You try to explain, but none of them seemed so convinced by it. “Seriously, we were singing and dancing like idiots and then we just fell asleep. I was too tired to go to my own room!”

“I doubt that you saying you love her more was a lie.” Lisa cut in and you shake your head frantically. “I did say that I love her but I never said I love her more!”

“So you don’t love me?” The girl asked sadly and you shake your head, hands flailing in the air. “That’s not what I meant!” Jennie could already feel you trying to get up and if it weren’t for the slight twitch of Chaeyoung’s lips, she wouldn’t have caught on to her plan.

Her arms wrapped possessively around your waist and kept you still, even going so far as to throw a leg over your lap and glaring at your member. “How about we start the movie? Unless you wanna just keep talking, we can do that, too.”

Knowing that Lisa had been excited for this, the maknae ended up bouncing in her seat and then nodded her head, grinning as she turned her attention to the eldest. "Come on, unnie! Let's start it!"

Truthfully, you had no problems with horror movies, it was why Jennie always picked you to sit next to her because you comforted her whenever she did get scared. So you weren't worried about this one.

But seeing how well the cinematography and engagement the film had, it was enough to actually make you believe everything that was happening on screen. The many times Jennie screamed when something popped up on screen, you would flinch, though tighten your arms around the smaller girl as you both continued to watch, though her face was almost buried to your chest with how much she was cowering.

Leave it to Lisa with picking a horror movie.

But this movie was much scarier than the ones you’ve already seen. This was honestly something that made you feel frightened, probably because of the play with your own phobia, but in the end, you felt your throat dry and your heart was thundering in your chest.

When it was finally over and you all began to move around the room, you stayed seated for a while, a little dazed before Lisa noticed your slightly pale face. “Are you scared, Y/n?” She asked, mischief suddenly swimming in her eyes and you quickly look at her, eyes narrowing to mask the fact that you were terrified.

“No way! Since when has a horror movie scared me?” You scoff with your arms crossed across your chest. “Jennie unnie was the one who kept cowering next to me.” You added, earning a smack on the arm by said woman before Jisoo rolled her eyes and pinched your cheeks when she walked over.

But the Thai woman had yet to let up as she bounded over to you. “You know, if you’re scared, you don’t have to be so shy about it. Jennie unnie is older than three of us but she’s the biggest scaredy cat out there.” She grinned at the glare sent her way. “Don’t push it, Manoban, or else you won’t see your cats for a week.”

The threat to her precious babies caused her eyes to widen and a gasp to pass her lips. “You wouldn’t dare!”

“Try me.”

Chaeyoung giggled at the pair and you stood to finally stretch your limbs, but Jisoo had already gotten up at some point and gave you a small nudge from behind, causing for you to yelp before swiveling around to see what, or who, had touched you, only to find the devious grin on your eldest member’s face.

“What are you doing?” You ask while trying to keep a level head and your friend shrugged her shoulders, clearly not buying that you weren’t scared. “I just wanted to be close to you, is that so bad?” She teased and you give her a light smack on the arm. “Very funny.”

Chaeyoung yawned as she stood up and then proceeded to head for her room while Lisa and Jennie were still arguing about Lisa’s cats, which turned into her threatening to hide the latter’s favorite shirts.

You moved past the bickering duo and head to your room with a yawn of your own, but as you reached your door, you had to pause as your hand rested on the knob, hesitant before you looked around and then cautiously stepped into your room.

With the movie fresh in your mind, you had a hard time getting ready for bed, washing your face and brushing your teeth, your eyes darted everywhere up until you got in bed, making sure to shut your bathroom and then shutting the windows and covering it with your curtains.

“Come on, it was just a movie, Y/n, nothing to be so scared about.” You mutter to yourself while holding your blanket tight around yourself. But you couldn’t bring it in to you to turn the desk lamp off, refusing to let your room be swallowed in darkness with the potential of-

A loud thud causes you to yelp when your door bursts open, eliciting a scream to come from your lips as Lisa came tumbling in after running away from Jennie’s wrath.

“Sorry!” The taller girl squeaked before her eyes widened to see your cowering figure on the bed, wrapped in a blanket and trembling like a scared puppy, making the maknae pout before she came to your bed. “Lisa! Get out of Y/n’s room!”

“No thanks unnie! I think I’ll sleep better after that movie with Y/n unnie next to me.” The blonde replied when she got a proper look on your face, her own expression softening before she got on the bed with you and wrapped her long and slender arms around your waist.

“I swear, you won’t see your cats in the morning.” But Lisa knew that Jennie wouldn’t dare touch her babies. They meant too much to the younger girl and Jennie wouldn’t have the heart to do anything to them.

Looking up, you tried to make a sound of protest, but the sound of a door closing had caused you to flinch and Lisa pursed her lips before she gave you a small squeeze. “It’s okay, unnie. I’ve got you.”

Typically, she would be teasing you for being as scared as you were. But Lisa knew that you didn’t get scared when it came to movies, so to see you looking so spooked told her that you wouldn’t appreciate being laughed at right now.

With a smile, she gave you a light kiss on the cheek before cuddling you. “I won’t tell them. I’ll be here so you don’t feel scared and we can keep the light on if that helps, too.” You were thankful towards the younger girl and nodded your head, burying your face into her neck and making her smlie widen.

Being the youngest, she’s used to being babied by you and the others, but she was happy that she could comfort you just the same and that you really did trust them enough to see you so vulnerable like this.

But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t bring the topic up for when you were feeling better enough to talk about it.

yet another ask dump yeehaw!

do you ever think that jay's mother was one of those bitch who believes in horoscope and tarots and things like that and so he believes in these things too, or it is just me projecting?

sheila haywood took one look at jason's birthchart said 'nah this won't do' and left.

Wait, but what happens when the justice league does find out that Bruce and John fucked? Lmao it sounds like it would be hilarious, really, I don’t want a justice league that doesn’t make fun of Bruce for like his entire life.

barry runs out of the meeting immediately and comes back with an entire sti testing kit. diana fully seriously wants bruce to get tested while bruce is sitting there like 'come on guys, you're being ridiculous, i already checked twice'

john is standing in the corner clearly offended while bruce is just like 'don't even say anything, constantine, you fucked a shark'

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

on the one hand, good for him, on the other hand, bro, how do you still have a secret identity when your superhero name is just your last name,,,,

Your fic on ao3 was GOLD PLEASE CONTINUE I loved Dinah's cameo btw ( @purple-vixen

thanks so much! i already continued but this ask is like 10 years old because i'm a notorious procrastinator (also yes! i love dinah so much aahhhhhhhhhhhh)

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

bruce internally: holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit bruce externally: get out of my city, alien

AHHH ur multimedia fic is the only thing that brings me happiness anymore continue it forever pls

uhh thanks, but can't continue it forever because my attention span is that of a toddler on crack on a good day and i can't function without at least 10 things going on at the same time and music in the background

Oi, so I'm getting into dc and watching batman the animated series, and they use fruitcake a lot. Which I thought was very funny and wanted to share w you - Denilla

wait like fruitcake (food) or fruitcake (derogatory) ?

young justice 🤝 teen titans slut shaming batman

tim drake and dick grayson to their respective teams 'you guys stop it, that's my dad'

Happyhoganon: If an eighty year old Batman had fought crime in Gotham City for decades and the only threats to him and the city lately are a wheel chair bounded Penguin, your usual purse snatchers and a few con artists popping up every now and then, how well could the Dark Knight do in maintaining the peace in Gotham despite him being just somewhat fit to do that as an elderly man (which says A LOT given how old he is)

uhh he'll probably do what my grandpa does and that is ruthlessly prank them until they die of shame.

in the death in the family interactive movie there's an ending where Jason is tasked with raising Damian and he decides he's gonna raise Damian to take down the waynes and al ghuls which uh maybe isn't great BUT the idea of Jason raising Damian... PRICELESS. CHAOTIC. I just need more people to know about this :)

yes i saw that wow holy shit but jason would accidentally drop damian on his head one (1) hour in and jason just yeets him into the lazarus pit.

Headcanon: The Penguin has a really hard time fighting any of the Robins because of his avian obsession means there's always a small part of his mind that's like "Birb. Child. Protect" ( @subspacecadet )

as soon as dick becomes nightwing the penguin is like 'you know what, fuck this dude' and shoots at him.

Y'all talking about King Shark dating Constantine, let's not forget about John literally hooking up with Satan

listen there's a clear difference between monsterfucker and satanfucker in that king shark is literally a shark and satan still looks like a normal dude

Does everyone in Gotham think Batman is a teen dad?

everyone in gotham thinks batman has been around since gotham was founded, but they do think that bruce wayne is actually a teen father and dick grayson's biological dad.

why. why would you do that fancast when you know it will only hurt people

what? i loved my fancast it was really well done. i did it with good representation in mind and i really managed that with alfred pennyworth being ✨italian✨

Seeing james charles a jason gave me psychic damage how dare you i need to wash my eyes

well that's a you problem isn't it?

do you think dick grayson thirst tweets about nightwing just to annoy his family/cause problems on purpose in general?

he thinks nightwing is hot, next question.

holy jiminy cricket batman, its as cold as the good lords ass crack in here!!

i- what? this is why i don't fuck with english expressions it's way too goddamn weird

Brooooooo, your teen dad!Bruce au is soooo good. I've got brainrot.

Honestly if you ever write anymore, I'd read that shit twice. Sign me the fuck up. Good stuff, Good Stuff.

uh yeah i'm thinking about writing a fic, but i have exams coming up and i don't wanna fail because that would suck. but after i'll certainly be writing more tho

your teen dad AU is so great! bruce acting like a big brother for all of like a week before he's telling everyone about his son. what if in the AU dick meets the JL because they need to rescue him? maybe he's in trouble/kidnapped at a gala and bruce starts calling for JL. clark finds him and has to fly with dick to bring him home - that's how dick and clark meet and superman becomes dick's fave hero. he goes around the manor thinking he can fly with a red blanket draped around him like a cape.

actually- if you want a young dad! bruce fic with like that kinda stuff(just with damian) go check uhh- in for a penny by cdelphiki. it's really good and bruce is like 24/25-ish. (and dick's there!!!)

This account has solely convinced me that Tim is a trash goblin ( @hamilcat-and-magic-turtle )

because he is. that boy has slept in dumpsters on multiple occasions even if he is the son of a billionaire.

Okay but when you said victory dance I did think of the whole justice league defeating the big bad and then they all start flossing

well that's exactly what hal jordan does and that's why batman uses a gun now. no but the victory dance in my opinion is like the 'we're all in this together' dance from high school musical.

The horrors in Invincible s1 was nothing compared to the comics, I cant wait for s2

oh well okay, i mean i personally react to horror and violence by laughing awkwardly so i can't wait to be called a monster for accidentally laughing at a mass murder.

I'm currently watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold and- Bruce is just talking about Oliver like he's an old love (@nightwings-kid)

okay im going to watch that lmao that's totally and completely in character for him tho.

The invincible comic is like super gratuitous with its violence so much so I'm shocked the show was able to adapt it in a faithful way! Anyway had the show been live action it absolutely wouldn't have the same impact as it does as an animated show and I'm so glad so many people agree with me on that

also because a live action casting would've been like uhh amanda stenberg for amber, the dude- the guy from the supernatural but with a mustache for omni-man, and scarlet johanssen for debbie grayson

Debbie grayson is a milf, yes. You're welcome for the invincible propoganda, now you can questions your life. Bruce def seems like the perfect father next to Omni-man. Like they really took a rip off justice league and I was like well, now I'm attached even tho I was like hah I know who they're supposed to be. And then bam- death gore death gore gore gore sad Mark grayson just had to have daddy issues. Why does every character have daddy issues. I'm sick of the attacks

because daddy issues make a person arguably funnier, that's why i'm not even remotely funny (haha good dad flex). i liked that it was dark contextually, but not in the colouring, bc i hate when it's like 'uh yeah graphic murder and now a shot so dark you have to sit in a dark room and squint at the screen to faintly see the characters. (like dcau ugh)

About the Wayne insurance, for a moment I thought you would put the video with moans over the waves.

i mean- i could've done that, but rick rolling seemed more family friendly.

Its the first time in forever that im surpise rickrolled, i usually expect it. Congratulations (i really should know better this is tumblr)

i get rickrolled so often but i actually like the song so i dont really give a fuck

Actually, my information about Damian and John's kids is outdated because it was revealed that the old men telling the kids stories about the Supersons were actually Jon and Damian the whole time. I was blinded by my thirst for Grandpa!Bruce Wayne but I was wrong... I liked my version better, tbh (@artemisa97)

fair enough. but i'd honestly like to see damian and jon getting together, just because it's a really fun dynamic and their friendship was really cute when they were kids. (also idk maybe it would be nice to have one (1) main batfam/superfam character that's not cishet)

How am i JUST finding your blog skdskfkd you're so fucking funny and ur takes are hot

i thought u were calling me hot :( but youre not :( crime detected (but lmao thanks)

So I have depression and I swear that your memes are one of the few things that have made me laugh so thank you 💛🥺 (@katekanebadass)

aw you're welcome, and i hope you're doing okay!

The metropolis memes are so funny, I love them 💀😌

i think metropolis is also so fucking funny it deserves more attention imagine having your entire police force being upstaged by an alien from kansas and his kids

as an american i feel your complete lack of knowledge of us geography is just so sexy (platonic) ❤️

thanks so much (i also don't know any other geography, i'm not kidding, like you can tell me you're from hungary and it will just blank, there will be nothing that comes to mind)

In the DC universe they don't say "Can't have shit in Detroit" they say "Can't have shit in Gotham"

this just reminds me of that guy whose porch got stolen like the steps to his door, and i'm thinking of people living in gotham and waking up without a front door and going "can't have shit in gotham"

honestly all i know about chicago is the bean, so. what would gotham's famous sculpture be?

gigantic gargoyle statue in front of one of the police precincts because a villain thought it was a smart way to keep the police inside, but it's too heavy to move.

why tf do people go on about how batman "works alone" or how he's the "lone wolf" when he like 38290202 members in his family

bc people think it's cool that a grown man in his 30s has no friends or family instead of calling it what it is (sad)

Bruce is gotham's sugar daddy

why would say something so controversial yet so brave.

my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context

dick: gerard way are you in position, gerard way are you in position

tim: for the last fucking time, my codename is 'totally not count olaf' this week, abbafan 3000

dick: shut up my codename isn't 'abbafan 3000'

dick: it's 'abbafan number 1' and you know it

I have a feeling Tim drake is ur favourite batfamily member but okay u don't have favs if u say so ok

i mean he is, i won't deny it. but i love each and every one of the batfam just the same, i just have a weak spot for short dumbass nerds, because i'm a short dumbass nerd.

Omg i fuckin love boy meets world too fam shsjkfk

bro boy meets world was the shit!!! it was just fire and awesome and so fucking great like bro. it was so good im not even going to be accepting criticism

you know I find the whole "joker completes batman" thing a bit disgusting considering the horrendous stuff the batfamily went through because of the joker and let's not get started on the "joker has a point" thing like yeah he's this cool complex villain but he's absolutely batshit crazy

like yes! i get what you mean the joker just fucking sucks man he doesn't do shit for batman's character or the batfam he's literally just annoying as fuck. like the joker has a point' shit is so stupid. i will accept 'magneto was right' because he fucking was and i think he didn't do anything wrong, but joker? he's just like that. he's not even cool and complex he's just a weirdo with a bleach kink at this point.

ALSO YOUR RACISM POST- SO TRUE BESTIE

thanks bestie, i'm glad you agree.

in today's essay of why I think cass should become batman- I was thinking Tim would probably be the most efficient batman in many ways but I also think he wouldn't want to be batman tbh none of the batfamily members would want to be batman because they're trying to outgrow him but cass is the one who wants to represent the symbol that is batman

absofuckinglutely i will say it again and again that cass represents the batsymbol more than anyone in the batfam, in batgirl (2000) she literally didn't care about anything else than bruce's oath to not kill, she thought the batsymbol was more important than anything in gotham. she's just an excellent character because her motivation to not kill is not 'i'm scared i can't come back from it' or 'well my dad says no murder so i'll go along with it' but that she's killed somebody as a young child and she never wants to kill a human ever again and that's so fucking beautiful for a new batman like yes.

need more cass, duke and tim inclusion in gothamite memes

yes yes, a tall order of cass, duke and tim coming up in 1-14 business days

oldest to youngest batfam members cus I'm confused as shit

okay order of being taken in: dick, jason, tim, cass, damian, duke order of age: alfred, bruce, dick, cass, jason, tim, duke, damian (though cass and jason are around the same age general consensus is that cass is a little older)

I'm so confused Steph is a redhead?? like how was it that hard to get this right? the source material is literally right there and free

cw is jared, 19

do you receive anon hate? if so, how do you deal with it

uh no, i'm not remotely popular enough to get anon hate and i also don't say a lot of things that would attract anon hate, but i do send anon hate to @the-real-peter-parker because he forgot about the specialists from winx club

Wait how many languages do you speak??

uhh- 5 if you include latin, but that's a dead language and i'm really bad at it. but english, my native language, german, and french also, tho german and french not fluently.

You can mix aguaepanela with aguardiente 😈 and is tasty

okay but now i'm curious if the liquor deserves the 😈 emoji or if that's a you problem. but i googled it and it looks like something you'd take one sip of and then not remember the rest of your evening.

#i love all of you guys so much thanks for all these asks #some of these are literally from march but fuck it #the day tumblr puts dates next to anon messages is the day i close my inbox crawl into a hole and die #it's such a basic task to answer asks but i don't want to bother anyone with asks clogging up their timeline #and if i don't have a funny or good answer i'm like 'uhh okay won't answer it now then' #so this is for you #also i deleted a few asks because it gives me mental pain to see my inbox go over 50 and it's almost at 100 #i was complaining about having too many asks to the-real-peter-parker like months ago and then i had 45 asks in my inbox #now it's amassed to going over 100 twice #but no i love all of you and you're great and you're all fantastic and i lvoe you #muchos kiss kiss #kiss kiss for my kiddies lvoe you #invincible spoilers #dc #dcu #dc comics #ask #anon #bataranswers #i really wanna try aguapanela now i'm gonna see if i can find panela somewhere and review it for you babes #uh yeah that's it #muchos gracias for all your questions babes

[sanstropfremir]

pls do talk more about b*s and their current image (censoring because if you don’t have great things to say i don’t want you to be attacked by their crazy stans :))

i always bring this up when i talk about them but it’s really :( that they are the way they are now. like i was a fan because of their hyyh era and their songs about the troubled youth. and of course they can’t stay in that image forever (because we all grow up and it would just be v fake if they tried to continue it given their status and wealth now.) it’s just disappointing that they went down the ‘safe, disney image’ and are releasing generic mainstream pop songs people will forget after a couple listens. i’m no longer a fan of them now but yuh.

also not to mention how they essentially made kpop boring for me now lol i wish companies had fun with their music selections instead of aiming for whatever b*s has. like we will never get a group like orange caramel again (i know wjsn chocome’s concept was similar but it just didn’t feel the same. you talked about it before and i wholeheartedly agree with ur points.)

thank you for the consideration of censoring the name but honestly i'm not that worried about it. i do however find the increasingly creative ways people censor it to be extremely hilarious so keep it up if you would like.

i addressed most of the first part of your ask in the second part of my response here, this is now the third installment in a series, somehow. (the first part is here).

not to level this at you in specific anon, because i know a lot of people share this sentiment of kpop being 'boring' now, and while there is an element of this that is influenced by bts, and although it is true we aren't getting the same level of wild that produced orange caramel, there is actually interesting and kinda weird stuff happening in kpop; it's just not by the groups that are getting the most attention. dreamcatcher has been out here doing horror rock since their debut in 2017. onf has put out two excellent summer pop tracks with fun and stupid genre mvs. i love this recent ghost9 track. i'm obsessed with the instrumental in the chorus of bdc's moon walker. just b debuted last month with a strange bang yongguk track and a very 2013 feeling mv. here's another weird and fun boy group debut, blitzers. a.c.e have put out favourite boys, the fave boyz remix, down, and higher as their last four releases which all have the most coherent and well designed concepts in the last year. and while i'm at it i might as well include take me higher and undercover. oneus put out a mad max themed performance video randomly for no reason like three weeks ago. the rest of the industry were cowards for not following up on to be or not to be with a shakespeare comeback wave. rip onlyoneof but they gave us a whole three week comeback of dick grabs. hanya brought my attention to this weird as shit debut track from a group that has now totally disappeared. knk's sunset exists. we moved on way too fast from the mv because taeyang was being cunty on music shows but sf9's teardrop has probably some of the most interesting shots in a kpop mv in the last several years. and we definitely moved on too fast from my favourite just some guy and goofy movie character woodz's feel like.

i think it's pretty fatalistic to view bts as having singlehandedly made the industry boring because honestly......i don't think they have. if you want to talk about the downturn to plainclothes styling....well that's shinee's fault. and the general trend to less dramatic fashion and visual tastes is not exclusive to the kpop industry, it's been a whole cultural trend. the mid to late 2010s were the rise of 'normcore' and we haven't burst the bubble yet. bts is just reflecting trends happening in the wider world, and in particular the western one. for the most viewed kpop mv of 2020 dynamite did....what exactly? it didn't really spawn any significant copycats in terms of sound or aesthetics, with the exception of maybe superm's we do if you look at it a bit sideways. although this is one of bts' better styled mvs, 70s retro did not make any resurgence in kpop styling, EXCEPT in magazine and fashion shoots, which it was already doing in the west. taemin's criminal was significantly more influential; i can think of at least three different male soloist mvs that borrowed heavily from it. honestly i think stylists and groups are trying to steer as clear as possible of whatever aesthetics bts uses, lest they accidentally doom themselves to a (perceived) slighted fanbase. plus, there's been a pretty sizable resurgence in contemporary hanbok styling, so even though there is a lot more outward attention going to things like international promotions for other groups and whatever the hell sm keeps trying to do with nct, i think a fair amount of companies are interested in maintaining the koreanness of kpop while facilitating broader global access.

and honestly, bigger acts have also put out interesting things in the last year. we did all see taemin's back to back release roster for ngda right? criminal? idea???? advice???????? fuck, chocolate was barely a year ago. whatever your opinions on yunho are, thank u is fucking brilliant mv. sunmi's tail. lie to me and tell me the mv for you can't sit with us isn't fun as fuck. i dunno what the hell the new nct127 song is gonna be like but the teaser photos and mood sampler are weird as hell and i'm absolutely interested. he's only kpop adjacent at the moment but jackson's 100 ways and lmly are really sharply produced low budget mvs with clean and interesting visuals. maniac shot to the top of my most listened immediately after it dropped because lia kim AND those slick horns in the instrumental???? ten's paint me naked was not at all what i was expecting but it's still fun as hell and has a pretty unique aesthetic.

the tldr of this whole three parter is this: bts has always been reactionary to wider cultural trends and that's been how they've made it this far. yes their influence on the industry looms very large because of the predominence of them on the scene, but it's mostly in the perception of kpop rather than in the artistry of it.

i don't think any company is going to be able to achieve what bts and hybe have, which i think is fine. they're the scale tipped too far. hopefully by now most companies have probably noticed that they don't need to cater to the western market so hard, and that it's probably not a good idea to offer their artists up on the racist chopping block of the western pop scene. you can market to an international fanbase without trying to gun for a grammy or for billboard or whatever. creating interesting art should be at the fore, not numbers goals. but we're just gonna have to wait and see what happens in the next year or so.

#now if youll excuse me im going to go listen to the mixnine love in the ice stage again for the 524th time #because i have FEELINGS and today has been a LOT #i dont know that im necessarily saying anything that other people havent said before but yea #there is definitely a saturation in the market but i really dont think you can blame that on bts #there are many other groups that have proved the industry is heavily profitable #it is very reasonable that there is a glut. finding the gold may require a bit more sifting but it's still there #honestly watching the music shows is the best and easiest way to keep engaged and finding new stuff #you dont even have to watch the whole show. you can just watch the stages #that's what i do in the morning. like reading the newspaper lmao #i will answer more questions about bts if people have them but i will try not to make them this long because this is just unreasonable #875 #kpop questions #kpop analysis #group analysis #text #answers
