#why do i quote this movie so much bruh

[navybrat817]

Bruh. BRUH. BRUHHHHHH… I’m scrolling the Insta and come across this.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CnShyyKqa5e/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

And my kind immediately goes to Bucky and how, through some miracle, he still owns his first edition of the Hobbit with dust jacket and all. And he knows, HE KNOWS how much it’s worth! But he’d never ever sell it cause it was a gift. And there’s an inscription from the person who’d given him the book and it reads “I’d fight Smaug with you. Love, Steve” or something like that. I dunno (I’m a little ashamed to say I never read the book nor watched the movies cause I just can’t get into it but I know Bucky loved The Hobbit.) And yeah. The book sits on a shelf in Bucky’s little apartment. He reads it once a year. But not before his thoughts linger a little while on Steve, inscription a little faded when Bucky runs a finger across.

Excuse me while I go cry for a minute.

I also don’t know why I’m sharing this with you but I’ve read some of your works and somehow your name came first to mind this time around to share this with. Figure if I have to cry, then so does someone else. Lol. Sorry.

Oh, lovely, it hurts the heart, but it means a lot that you thought to share this with me! ❤️ But ouch! Stucky or platonic, ouch!

*****

The image of Bucky in his apartment, alone as he reads and remembering who gave him the book. It's not like Steve owed him anything. He risked more than enough for him.

Bucky just wished someone told him he'd eventually reach the end of the line.

He tries to stop you when you give him a gift one day, but you walk away before he has the chance to open it. Once he does, he's stunned to see a first edition of The Fellowship of the Ring. On top of the book is a small card with a quote from Gandalf.

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

It's your handwriting.

In that moment, Bucky decides that the line doesn't have to end after all. He just needs to make a new path. Embark on a new journey.

Maybe you'll help him pave the way.

*****

Love and thanks! ❤️

NO BECAUSE I SAW A GROWN ADULT SAYING THAT PRETENDING LEON IS ALIVE AND IN LOVE WITH THEM AND THE AI VOUCED WHERE THE ONLY THING KEEING THEM ALIVE 😭😭

BRUH LIKE

i get that people get emotionally attached to rp I TOTALLY GET IT

but it can get SO BAD SO EASILY and since all the fuckin ai generated chats started up too i'm just like

with no way to really regulate how much you're doing it, it's so easy to get addicted. i used to run rp accounts too and people get so upset if you don't get a response "soon enough," which is why i mostly retired from rp (at least from strangers) but with ai generated stuff you're just getting a regurgitation of info. like i've seen ai chats straight up steal fics and quotes from tv shows and movies. also people complaining that their character wasn't remembering their own personal facts and kept describing someone else entirely

at least with people you can have catered personal experiences

BUT LIKE PLEASE DON'T RELY ON THIS FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

GO OUTSIDE PLEASE

and if you're just saying it in jest, like oKAY but like SOME people are literally saying they're gonna unalive themselves if they can't rp leon

like

please

PLEASE GO OUTSIDE

TOUCH GRASS

Bruh I've been a big elmax shipper since s2 and was never really into byler until vol2 where I started shipping it but if I even dared to shit talk m*leven or say i like elmax better dumbass m*levens would mass quote retweet my posts and say I'm only saying that bcuz I'm actually a mlm fetishizing byler and I'm "using sapphic ships"(as a lesbian)... As if it's impossible to prefer a wlw ship to a straight one and men have to be included SOMEHOW! And again, I only started shipping byler after vol2 so I never really talked about them and I still prefer elmax, so I was just super confused. And then these people had the audacity to bring up mlvn after the elmax script dropped and call bylers lesbophobic in the same breath 💀

why are mlvns genuinely the villain in some 2010s new age movie abt a nerdy girl who ships gay things on tv. why do they hate gay people so much. what did we do to them 💀

Can we finally stop demonizing NC / sex scenes or pitting them against each other to find out which one is more valuable and worthy of existence due to better cinematography and conveyed deep emotions?

Most NC / sex scenes do have a purpose besides fitting in a genre and age rating where they can be shown (talking about the BL/GL/QL realm here... not like american hete action movies with random banging out of the blue). Majority of NC have some storytelling, some character information or development in it. Even if they are not romantic or not artistically shot. A lot of people just don't see it or refuse to see it because some still see it as "sex = a dirty emotionless procedure for the depraved"

But here are some examples of information you can gather from NC scenes that often get overlooked because usually people just look for love and desire:

trust level in the partner

fun / happiness with eo

desperation & longing & hornyness (<- also nothing bad btw everything depends on context and consent)

character looks for distractions with the sex

carelessness for themselves

are they egoistic in bed or do they care for the others pleasure too

do they like to spoil the other? do they like to get spoiled?

are all involved parties actually really into each other?

level of experience (side not: first timer of course will be reserved and more shy... SAME FOR FIRST KISSES)

self-image (shy? confident? self-hate / guilt??)

some like it wild and hard some soft and slow, none of that is superior to the other it's literally personal taste

are there some fetishes and kinks at play (possible hint for a characters psychology, doesn't have to, can be)

even hidden feelings can be shown, like FWB who turn into more or a couple who's falling out of love and just doing it out of rutine

btw masturbation also counts as NC, it doesn't matter if the character is solo sexually active or with others.

And you can just enjoy watching NC scenes without trying to find justification for it. It is literally legal and natural (heck even some social animals like watching other animals banging). You are also not intruding their privacy... it's literally just actors who just play pretend who all gave their consent to show these scenes of them to the public...

And no NCs are literally not the same as porn. ESPECIALLY when we talk about BL NC scenes because bruh, majority of it is so not explicit. All we see is foreplay and a bit of make out or aftermath, but there is rarely actual display of sex beyond that. Except for like Bed Friend and KinnPorsche, Love In The Air kind of spice level. And even they are 'just' on normal western level of sex scenes. The only kind-of-"""BL""" that is actually softcore is "The shortest Distance is Round" the main is even an actual porn actor and I bet some of the others too, the are just not listed on MDL. [all the trigger warnings for that movie series btw]

Does that mean there HAVE to be NC scenes in everything? No. It's basically an artistic choice and depending on what the creator wants to show and for what target audience they want to create. Same as when creators say they don't want to show much. 🤷‍♂️ But the less you show the more you have to tell via other ways. Which is sometimes frustrating for me when they cut the sex part (which again, is totally fine) but then the characters behave like nothing happened, nothing changed. OR THEY DO behave differently but nobody shows or says why! And if you are vague the audience has to fill the gap with their own imagination which can vary a lot from tame to horrible. It feels like I am missing out on their path.

But I do side eye everyone who calls a BL bromance just because it had one soft kiss in it. Or people who call a BL boring when they don't have sexual tension within the first 3 episodes.

Ending this with a nice quote I recently heard in a video about a similar topic:

"Just because something makes YOU uncomfortable, doesn't mean it is automatically something bad. It first of all just means it is not for you and that is ok." (unless it is indeed something bad and not legal then that's a different topic)

#not really a rant but a little reminder a little shake up brought to you by so many comments and discourses i saw over the past months #your annual sex not bad post #bl drama #gl drama #ql drama

@ruby-static "movie quote ammo" edition!

Where oh god anna you shouldn't have told shawn your puffles name XD

Shawn: wait your puffle is called goose!?

Anna: yes?

Anna: wait why are you so excited about that?

Shawn, doing a top gun voice impression: talk to me, Goose.

Anna: Bruh.

Anna probably doesnt understand why shawn is so excited until he begins to start quoting movie lines to goose. Much to her dismay.

This is revenge for all the times you yelled "SHAAAWWWN" anna *WHEEZE*

Shawn: yo this wood is so soft i can eat it.

Anna: are you a fucking beaver??

Shawn back on his bullshit again and confusing everyone!

Suddenly future party boys again!

Gary: oh my, he reminds me of someone.

Kilanova: names kilanova!

Gary: hello! Welcome to the EPF.

When kilanova joined the EPF, Gary absolutely saw him first and went "oh this guy is going to bring some familiar moments to this place"

And the finale! Fullbodies of the two future dudes. Starting with kilanova himself.

He is basically the Dan of his time! (Which honestly is even more funny considering he is a descendant of him) He is partially melanistic and has a blackhole stomach. Put somthing infront of him in terms of food and its gone. His markings resemble a star!

And poltergeist!

He is named after one of the first exoplanets ever discovered which orbits a pulsar star. He definitely has a sibling called phobetar to complete the checklist of the first two exoplanets discovered ever.

I like to think that penguins in the future have the most weirdest names but with kilanova being named after the explosion caused by two neutron stars colliding and poltergeist being named after a super irradiated zombie planet? They got some cool names!

Rules: List 10 comfort movies (this is gonna be hard, what even are movies again?) and tag 10 people (yeah that ain’t happenin’).

1.) Avatar.  No, not The Last Airbender, don’t even mention that abomination after this sentence. James Cameron’s Avatar. Probably has a lot to do with the music and special effects. It’s almost like I’m watching a documentary instead of a movie, which is a pretty dope mindfuck. And that scene where Neytiri shouts “Eywa has heard you!”? *sobbing*

2.) Titanic. Yet another James Cameron flick. I must have a soft spot for perfectionist Canadians. At any rate, I like the movie not for the “romance” or young Leo (which doesn’t hurt), but rather just for it being about Titanic itself. I’ve always been fascinated by Titanic, the ship and its history and all that. And, once again, the movie’s music; James Horner’s soundtrack *chef’s kiss*/*violent sobbing*

3.) The Mummy. Stealing this one from you, @indrid-hot. I don’t care how often it’s on TV, how “overplayed” it might seem. It’s just a classic go-to that I never get tired of. Adventure, comedy, a touch of romance. Good times.

4.) Hocus Pocus. Need I even explain it? Halloween. Comedy. A catchy musical number. Adult themes/dialogue that went over my head as a child that I get to laugh at today. It’s a classic.

5.) Van Helsing. Another one of those The Mummy-esque vibes where it never gets old for me. Sure, the vampire actors’... well... acting.... didn’t do much for me, but hot damn if I’m not a sucker for young Hugh Jackman with long hair, or any other brooding dark-haired male protagonist with a traumatic/dark past. My friend Echo and I lovingly say in regard to myself “I have a type, I have a problem”, and it probably started with this movie.

6.) Tangled. Bruh, the first time I saw the scene for and heard the song “I See the Light”, I lost it. So beautiful. And Rapunzel PHYSICALLY standing up to Mother Gothel? Yaaasss queen!

7.) Corpse Bride. It’s short and sweet and Halloween-y and who doesn’t love the wrongdoer receiving eternal damnation while the one he wronged rests in peace at the end?

8.) The Land Before Time. The first seven, maybe first nine movies. Absolute childhood nostalgia. Sure, watching them now would probably make me cringe with embarrassment like “how the Hell could I have ever watched this?”, but when I was a kid they were some of the epitome of comfort movies.

9.) O.G. Pokémon Movies (particularly “The First Movie” and “3″ with Entei). Speaking of nostalgia, these. I will 100% watch these as an adult and NOT cringe with embarrassment. But I will bawl my eyes out because what hurt more to my traumatized 5 year-old self than watching Pikachu try to revive a stone-petrified Ash, or Entei sacrificing himself? And Mewtwo’s quote at the end? That was deep for a children’s movie; Hell, it’s deeper than a lot of shit being made out there right now.

10.) Schindler’s List. Yes, the movie depicts one of the worst times in recent history, possibly even in all of history. It’s dark and painful and to some it’s so incredibly traumatizing they can’t even bring themselves to watch it, but for me it serves as a cautionary reminder. It reminds me that history may be “written by the victors” as the saying goes, but victory can be stained and tarnished. It reminds me of humanity’s darkness, what we’re capable of, and how important it is to stand against that darkness. Not that I don’t see humanity’s darkness in today’s current climate (social, environmental, etc.), but we often lose ourselves in the world’s present or OUR SPECIFIC past, rather than see how knowing the world’s past can influence someone in the current time to make their present a better one. This movie is a wakeup call in a lot of sense, a painful reminder, a visual that helps reset myself when I’m feeling overwhelmed or don’t know how to feel at all. That’s why I find it “comforting”.

Tagging (just for the sense of y’all knowing I did this lol): @indrid-hot, @chemically-yours, @marilynnlew, @peechykeeny, @rainekittie87

Frosty: Should have stayed a song

I'm starting off my December right by watching Frosty the Snowman. I have not watched this in years and was beginning to question why I had removed it from the yearly rotation of animations that I watch. At one point I had watched the short so much that I could quote the commercial that cut in on my tape that had been recorded off of tv. But alas...adulthood cut this from my life...maybe...had I stopped watching it before that?

Here are some thoughts that I had as I watched it with fresher adult eyes that had not seen this in probably 20 years:

I forgot Jimmy Durante was in this. How do I know who that is? How do I not know what that is? He has such a distinctive voice and face...I probably just remember him from all the caricatures in old cartoons. THERE ARE A TON.

I prefer the claymation to this animation. Rankin and Bass did this one through Mushi Production and while I love Osamu Tezuka and his studio with a fiery passion...this was just not good. I even enjoyed the original short from 1953 more than this AND IT WAS LESS ANIMATED.

This guy just kills me...I hate him so much. He's a terrible villain and not just because he's inept...he's so boring. So very boring. And Whiny. Did we really need to have a villain? Does the song have a villain?

The head is the most difficult part...if you know what I mean *eyebrow wiggle*

This is Karen. I don't like Karen. I don't much care for any of the children or the voice acting. I think they turned a perfectly good song into a perfectly terrible short. None of you are believable! I don't believe any of you built a magical snowman who can sing and dance.

Happy Birthday...now lets name our Snowman friend:

Harold? Christopher Columbus? Oatmeal?

Bruh...you can't call him Oatmeal. What kind of a name is Oatmeal for a snowman? Frosty...obviously...sheesh

Which came first? the song? the movie? I didn't actually know the correct answer to that so I had to stop everything and look it up or it would bother me too much to continue.

Looks like the original was out in 1950 with this production hitting in 1969. Jimmy and Gene Autry both sang and released it at the same time....but I swear the radio only plays Jimmy. I'm going to have to go dig up the Autry edition.

Dude takes his hat back even after seeing Frosty come to life…how…why? No one is questioning this. Magic talking snowman. No one is freaking out. Even the Magician is just like...Oh...Its a magic hat...I"ll just take that back.

Silly silly silly.

Please quit doing this. Your point is not made better by repeating it 3 times. He does this a lot. Too much. 0/10 stars

So nonchalant about the living snowman. No one is freaking out...like I get it, new friend...but TALKING SNOWMAN OHMYGODWHYISTHISHAPPENING

I'm alive. What a neat thing to happen to a guy like me. But oh no. I'm gonna melt.

...like right this second? because honestly a good packed snow will last awhile *shrug* maybe slow down

We have trains to the north pole? Where do these children live that that seems like a viable option.

Lets have a parade? Ok ...why not...

Finally! Vindication! The rest of the adults are acting appropriately. You should double take when a walking talking snowman is pulling a pied piper down the center of your town.

3000.04 for a ticket to the north pole. That is really really specific and also a lot of work to pull for a child on her own asking questions. I actually don't know what a train ticket would cost to go that far. Sounds pretty cheap with all the layovers involved.

Karen...you can't go everywhere with your new buddy. Karen, do your parents know where you are?

Lets just put Frosty in the cold car. With the cakes. The cakes that are just out there in the open in the cold car. Must be some super awesome tiering going on there. That can't be sanitary for those cakes, no boxes or nothing.

Little girl, your mother will mind if you travel cross country in a cold car with Frosty. Get your ass home!

I don't like the Magicians voice either. It sounds so familiar but I've not seen anything else this guy has been in.

At least the boxcar was insulated from the wind...now we're just dealing with exposure. I'm sure you holding her can't be good for either of you.

Did you just ask the animals of the forest to light a fire for you?

I guess he didn't need the hat for magic. Dude just blew out a campfire.

They were so lucky that there was a greenhouse at the end of the hill...which then has me pondering why are Poinsettias a Christmas thing when they can't actually grow during Christmas?

This is some terrible buffoonery here. Are you really whining at Santa? Really?

At this point I think I've figured out the reason this hasn't been in the rotation. This story has just gotten to be too nonsensical for me. I love a good fantasy but these non-existent forced relationships just aren't doing it for me. You have a terrible unnecessary villain, an idiot child I just want to yell at for running off like she doesn't have parents that are worried about her, and an idiot snowman who knows he needs to go to the North Pole but thought dragging along Karen was a good idea? At least Rudolph did more world building...

Really, Santa? Just going to leave her up there on the roof?

Literal comments on “Long Live The Pumpkin Queen” by Shea Ernshaw, Chapter 2:

- I’m surprised that trees with green leaves aren’t just a little more surprising to Sally, considering all she’s ever lived around in HalloweenTown.

- when did Jack learn what time zones are?

- “Apparently, Valentine’s Day is a holiday that happens every February. And humans surprise one another with sweets and roses and poorly written love poems.” BRUH, JACK JUST FRIED ALL OF HUMANITY, WE NEED ALOE-

- Okay, Sally’s reaction to Valentine’s Day is getting more believable.

- Sally’s description of Cupid/Eros is like that first time a player encounters the dolls on American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns. I’m enjoying that…

- a bleeding heart equates to a broken heart…? I thought a bleeding heart would just be one that was deeply in love…? I wonder who else equates a bleeding heart with a broken one…?

- HOW DARE SOMEONE INSINUATE SALLY ISNT BEAUTIFUL THE WAY SHE IS-

- what… how has Jack never heard of Shakespeare…? Sure, he’s most famous for his romantic side but let’s not forget, the dude also wrote Hamlet and Macbeth… WAIT. “To recite Shakespearian quotations”- JACK DOES KNOW WHO SHAKESPEARE IS WTF

- okay he remembered the author. I was really worried there for a moment.

- Sally, no! Don’t you dare doubt yourself!

- “Why does no one come to Halloween Town to visit?” Good question, Sally. I would be wondering that myself. Yours was one of my favorite movies when I was a child…

- I’m trying not to reveal too much but the cutest thing just happened between Sally and some cupids…!!!!

- Jack really said “let’s hijack a boat” and I’m in HYSTERICS. I still love this skeleton!! 😂

- CHOCOLATE FIGHT!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣

- NOOOO YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME!!! WHYYYYYYYY!!!! I was so interested and then bam, it’s morning!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭 #ItsCuzItsADisneyBookIsntIt

- THE HONEY MOON IS ALREADY OVER?!?!

I mean… like… I didn’t even expect THAT but now that we got it, MY MIND IS RACING-

Sooo funny story

One day at work I’m just doing my job and I’m not really paying attention to my surroundings and just focused on my task. Anyway I suddenly hear “Excuse me sir” Now I usually look up whenever I hear excuse me mostly out of curiosity, in case they’re talking to me, or if my coworker might need help with the question. When I look up, I see a middle aged woman looking at me dead in the eyes. So I respond and answer her question, cause whatever. Then my coworker standing near me just goes “Did she just call you Sir?” And laugh and say yes, which prompts him to go “YES! I’m not alone anymore! You know how it feels now! I get called ma’am all the time and you get to know that feeling!” We both laugh, cause honestly I found it funny. I wasn’t upset, since I’m okay with any pronouns (which is why I consider myself non-binary but anyway), I don’t mind getting called sir. It just surprised me cause it’s never happened before.

Then I told my mom the story.

Anyway fast forward to later and I decide to tell my mom the story. Once I tell her, her face drops and she becomes super offended. She basically said, “You have boobs! Was this lady stupid or something?” Like damn it isn’t that serious. I then ask what she would have done and she said she would’ve just said “no problem sir” to the lady. Which all of this surprises me to no end cause my mom is a a little hateful towards, and I’m quoting her on this, “the pronoun thing” Like she refuses to accept my cousin who is trans. She’ll use the correct stuff around her but the second she’s talking to our little part of the family or to any family member who thinks the same way she does, it’s back to deadnaming and stuff. But then when I get misgendered (in her mind) it’s horrible and “I clearly look like a girl” but if she finds out someone is trans she’ll suddenly be confused on their gender. Like bruh ya choosing to do this now, and that’s shitty. Especially when they did nothing wrong.

Anyway a funny experience made me realize how much my mother is very set on being transphobic and a hypocrite. (Like it’s wrong for someone to misgender me but when you misgender my cousin that’s fine because she’s trans? Mmmh smells like bullshit in here) Literally after we talked about what happened I showed her the new inside out trailer and she was like “we? Is Disney doing the whole pronoun thing? They’ve changed a lot” in what was a “I don’t like it and I don’t think I’ll want to watch the movie because of it” tone. Like mom no, there’s just more emotions wtf.

What a wild day

#when I say it was a funny story it means I found it funny and wasn’t bothered by it #my mother didn’t find it funny #my mother is insane #like girl calm down it’s not that serious #story of my life #transphobia mention #transphobia #(just putting that tag there just in case)

[dirtycccat]

the demon bros+ undateables showing their love

thought about this for 5 min then had to write it out so enjoy

lucifer

first off you notice he treats you differently

and by differently i mean like you’re his favorite child  sibling

you get away with anything??? and he’s softer with you than with the others (which is canon)

then you see that?? he keeps buying you stuff you said you wanted when he was present

and you’re ofc impressed

but you’re more impressed by how open he’s around you

he’ll leave most of his walls down around  you

which means you’ll get to experience unfiltered lucifer

he’ll laugh around you more, make dumb dad jokes, nap with his head in your lap, complain drunkenly about his work and bros, give you sloppy cheeks and forehead kisses

you find it rly cute though

if you’re in the human world he’ll 100% take this chance to send you beautifully written letters asking you how you are and leaving some verses that reminded him of you on the back like a 19th century vampire

“dear mc, how is your life? mine is filled with woe and unease since i do not  have the light of my life around anymore...anyway here’s a poem about being horny and alone by a 18th century romantic author hope to see you soon, xoxo lucifer”

you try to respond in the same way and send him memes on the back instead of  poetry (or real poetry depends on your mood)

mammon

protective of you 100% will throw hands with anyone that even glances weirdly your way

but also wants to show you off? like look at this human!!! this is MY human!!!

gives you random thoughtful gifts that reminded him of you

wants to be around you 24/7 so he invites you to all the events that he thinks you’ll like

you wanna party? perfect. you wanna go on a weird ghost stories tour around the city? cool. you wanna waltz in one of those old people parties? he’s already reserved two tickets. you just wanna lay around and nap? he’s already on your lap.

it doesn’t matter if you’re in a romantic relationship or not this man WILL serenade you outside your window

rapunzel style with an acoustic guitar or with a boombox like a rebel 80s kid

anyway here’s toxic by britney spears babe this is for YOU

levi

considers you his bff ofc

but also at first he’s still really awkward around you and doesn’t really know what to do for you and feels bad thinking only you do things for him

until you reassure him you enjoy just being around him so it’s fine

he blushes and starts inviting you more to his room to game/ watch stuff

at some point he starts buying two tickets to all concerts he goes to and invites you along

but also? he asks you what you’re into and starts marathoning your favorite animes/ movies/ series so he can talk with you abt them

you feel really moved that he’d do that for you???  like??? bruh...

your relationship is basically friends respecting each other and wanting to know each other the best through their passions even if it means getting into some weird shit

it’s rly wholesome tho

if you’re romantically involved he’ll totally do roleplay as your favourite character and you do the same for him and it’s really cute

also imagine: artistic collabs. you make fanart together??? you can program games together???? you do cosplay together??? the possibilities...

satan

he’ll hate to be compared to his dad brother but he does show how much he trusts you by showing his unguarded side too

when he first talked about lucifer without the filter of his nice guy persona you were pretty shocked

like he was really going at it

but then you realize? he’s just like that when he’s comfortable

and it’s not all mean spirited, he just has,,, a strong personality and a lot of opinions about stuff (which you sometimes share with him)

but you also found out it’s really fun to gossip with satan

since he knows all the juicy gossip from his multitude of ties (he’s sharing the title of gossip queen with asmo that’s why they get along so well tbh)

also if you even find a teacher you hate he’ll tell you all their embarrassing moments to make you feel better

he also recommends you books and poems and sends you quotes that made him think about you

so you sure as heck don’t need to buy books while you’re in the devildom bc he’ll buy you an entire library 

asmo

compliments you without comparing you to himself which is the highest compliment he can give

like mammon he’s more into the showing everyone his favorite human around while also protecting them

he’ll take you to his parties and gatherings as a guest of honor, he’ll make you meet all kinds of people and open up opportunities for you

he’ll be the one that pampers you

you’d think lucifer is the sugar daddy of the family but nope it’s asmo

he’ll buy you cute clothes, shoes, beauty products everything that he saw and imagined would look bomb on you

if you’re not into clothes he’ll buy you art supplies, books, anything you want but he’ll still probably  buy you at least some clothes he thinks are cute

if you’re romantically involved,,,, he’ll buy other toys for you as well which you can try together wink wink

beel

cooks for you

no questions asked when it’s his turn to cook he’ll think about what YOU would like to eat first before making something

which is??? really touching coming from beel

and also means sometimes he’ll make the same dish three weeks in a row and annoy the others while you just get excited bc ??? you get to eat your favourite dish??? again and again???? 

thank you beel you truly know how to touch someone’s insides

also opens up to you and talks to you about his fears and thoughts

expect to get 4 am msgs from beel if he had a nightmare

which would end up in you coming to cuddle him (and belphie also joins sometimes)

which tbh is that even a thing you can complain about?

belphie

is more baby less murder when you’re around

naps on your lap, naps on your shoulder, naps with you anywhere

but also let’s you nap on HIM

besides being soft around you he actually opens up to you too

and talks to you about his traumas and issues

which he has in common with his twin what can you do

so you have weekly cuddle parties with him and beel where you talk about shit and actually make them resolve their issues instead of just,,, ignoring them

also if you’re into each other you probably tease each other and flirt really shamelessly in public while the others cringe and or blush at your language

are you a cowboy? because i want you to ride me all night 

simeon

writes you fancy letters with poetry like lucifer, but his ink is scented and  his envelopes contain pressed flowers more often than not

if you’re together you even do letter sexting if you’re into it

creates characters based on you in his stories (which you don’t believe even if levi points out you that the two of you are kinda similar)

asks you to spend more and more time with him and luke

invites you to picnics, reads to you while your head is in his lap, cooks you snacks

if you’re a theatre kid too,,, you do musical love confessions too,,, sometimes by just reciting the lyrics of really popular musical theatre songs in a death panned voice

cough a heart full of love from les mis but read like poetry through the fence of the house of lamentation cough

asks you cryptic shit hannibal style like “tell me mc what does it mean to want to be consumed whole by another? is it a desire to become something bigger than yourself or is it related to our need to become one with our loved one like some cultures pointed out before?”

you’re either really into his cryptid talk or just roll your eyes and smooch him

diavolo

invites you around to his castle all the time

sometimes he even pulls some weird shenanigans just to make you spend more time with him

expect tea parties with him luci and barbatos in no particular combination

gives you compliments 24/7  even in public

remember how he treats lucifer? he’s that for you too but he’s learned from the lucifer experience to focus on complimenting you as a person more than how you look

if you’re into pda he’ll touch you all the time

if you ever wanted a gomez - morticia romance, here’s your goth big titty himbo that’s way too full of love

if you’re lovers expect to be pampered, i feel like? he doesn’t buy a lot of gifts and such because he’s probably tired of material things but he will make time in his busy schedule for you and spend a lot of time with you

which means more to him than gifts

(we will buy you anything you ask though)

barbatos

actually talks with you about stuff outside rad, the demon bros and diavolo

also invites you to alone time tea or wine time

where you drink and gossip

if satan and asmo are the crowned queens of gossip barbatos is the king of gossip but he doesn’t share his knowledge to most people so nobody knows what he knows

but he knows,,,, a lot

and not only that he knows a lot about people nowadays,,, but imagine the things he knows about like historical figures and such,,, 

so prepare for story time with barbatos where he  talks about how oscar wilde was almost summoned by drunk inccubi during a party once, or how  diavolo cried when he was a kid because he sent a letter to caravaggio asking him to paint his portrait and he said no

also if you get drunk together expect really energetic talkative barbatos destroying DESTROYING everyone (except diavolo ofc)

“lucifer please i once saw you crying because you thought diavolo was ignoring you when you actually forgot to press the send button to your messages ”

if you’re romantically involved diavolo will always be first in his hear but that just means you’ll have to invite diavolo along on your dates which  just means you’ve got a new lover and a new bff

solomon 

he invites you on all kinds of wacky adventures

you  visit witches, go to weird magical forest parties or orgies if you want, you go travelling the mountains for rare herbs

it’s like you’re faust and he’s mephisto  haha the irony and he’s showing you another side of the world you never knew 

ofc the others know about all this but??? they thought it’s normal and didn’t even consider you know nothing about it

but solomon knows what it was like to be just a human

and since he likes you he empathizes with your situation

he also make you meet all kinds of people

since he has 72 contracts and hundreds of years of doing wack stuff he must know some interesting people

and now his friends are your friends 

i feel like romantic solomon would be just him?? but less shady with you especially since now you understand him better 

but also he’ll probably bring you weird shit from his alone expeditions

did you ever want the tears of a mermaid? a carnivorous plant that feeds on emotions? a crying portrait? no? well too bad because now you have a room full of weird items

...that you love and treasure thank you very much

#best boys deserve the best softest headcanons #mine #my post #i mean am i wrong #i mostly made this bc i kept thinking abt mammon serenading mc and simeon doing musical theatre confessions #and it escaladed #oh well #obey me #obye me shall we date #obye me headcanons #obey me lucifer #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #obey me simeon #obye me diavolo #obey me barbatos #obey me undateables

Bruh, why do you like the Monsterverse over the MCU? The Monsterverse is shit.

One person's shit is another's treasure.

The MonsterVerse doesn't have Spoiler Nazis constantly changing scripts and preventing its actors from doing their jobs properly, which is a pointless endeavor because the comics the MCU takes its stories from already exist and are a Google search away. Multiple wikis exist on the comics. You can't avoid every spoiler.

The MonsterVerse only has four movies, each one released within a few years of each other. The MCU has been going on for more than a decade and released FOUR MOVIES in 2021 alone. It could've ended with Endgame. Endgame was a great movie to end on, or at least go into hiatus for a few years (kinda like what the Godzilla franchise has done multiple times, and it's been going strong for almost 70 years). It was satisfying to hear bitching and moaning from the Pavlovian fans during that blissful period when Endgame didn't have a post-credit scene... and then it added the Spider-Man: Far From Home trailer. Then it padded itself out by adding more and more shit that could've just been on a DVD bonus feature reel for the home release. You know, like any normal fucking movie should.

Far From Home? Skipped it. Black Widow? She's dead, what's the point? Shang-Chi? Not even a dragon fighting that edgy Fin Fang Foom jabberwocky motherfucker made me give a shit (nobody inform me what it was, I don't care). Eternals looked boring and based on what I hear at my theater, it was.

Oh, and I work at a movie theater. I have cleaned every single MCU release since Iron Man 2. The whole post-credit gimmick got old when I was sweeping theaters while hundreds of schmucks watched the Avengers eat shawarma.

I hate jumping aboard the It's Popular So It Sucks bandwagon, but in this case I don't hate the MCU because it's popular. I don't hate anything for being popular and making all the money. I'm tired of the MCU for overstaying its welcome and oversaturating itself, stretching itself like butter scraped over too much bread. To quote the No Way Home post-credit scene: "Things just got out of hand."

The MonsterVerse doesn't do any of that. It's a flawed series. Narrative mistakes are made. Sometimes you have to read a book to get the whole picture... kinda like the MCU. But the MonsterVerse knows it's a series of films about giant monsters fighting, and it doesn't have shady guys in trench coats exchanging script changes and confiscating an actor's notes in the middle of the night. Because movies are not about corporate fucking espionage. Movies are entertainment.

And if the MonsterVerse is shit, then it's my shit and it is good shit. I am allowed to enjoy my shit, and so are you. So fuck off my shit and go enjoy your shit.

dating minho bc it’s soft hours

aaaa i love minho i cant lie

okay so minho doesnt really show his affection with like hugs and kisses and stuff,

and sometimes you feel like he doesn’t really love you,

you know he does because of all the little things he does

ex: buying you your favorite coloured shoes because you’d said that you needed a new pair

ex 2: when you’re crying he won’t ignore you and avoid it but he also won’t hover over you asking if you’re okay and saying bullshit motivational quotes ; like he’ll just sit next to you and put his hand on your body so you know he’s there 

you crying in bed and minho just *plops* onto the bed with you and lets you be little spoon

like he doesn’t even say anything, he just stays by you and the “i love you so much” aura just oozes off of him and your heart just goes :)

ex 3: if he even suspects you aren’t feeling well or acting like yourself he’ll get you a small present and look into your eyes and say “i miss you” and he just is the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen and you just wanna kiss him

i feel like he isn’t a big fan of kissing for no reason ; like he’ll kiss your forehead or cheek or something casually bc why not ; but when he kisses you kisses you? it’s the most special and passionate and loving thing ever 

He’d rather have you sit on his lap than hug you in public or in front of the other members.

sometimes he just stares at you for a while and when you notice him and say “wot bruvh” he’ll just look away and go back to what he was doing

he’ll text you throughout the day with things like “just got done with practice. i thought about you the whole time, so i did perfectly.” and other corny-ish things

holds your hand quite often tbh

like when you’re around the others and you’re watching a movie or something, he’ll just hold your hand in between you so nobody can really see

he talks about you : a lot

Hyunjin could ask him about the weather and he’d just be like “yeah, s/t/he/m is super cute. i took a picture last night, i’ll show you”

like bruh whats the weather tho

“accidentally” leaves a shirt he wore to practice on your side of the bed

acts shocked when you wear it but in reality ;; we know da truth

plays with your hair when you’re both just snuggling while you’re on your phones and just doing your own separate things

leaves you little notes or drawings sometimes

compares you to his cats awe yes

i stole this idea from @softbbyg0rl i am forever in debt to this beautiful star uwu

Why do people hate on Ron? Like bruh, he Is a good friend

Thank you for asking, anon! Any excuse to rant about Harry Potter is good for me.

People like to cling to the few times in the books that Harry and Ron's relationship took a dip without looking much further than surface level. They usually list "a bunch" of examples of Ron being a bad friend (he's not) but they mostly agree on two distinct moments: In Goblet of Fire when he's tired of being in Harry's shadow, and in Deathly Hallows when they fight and Ron ends up leaving.

Ron haters like to cling to these particular moments because, at face value, they paint a really bad picture of Ron, especially in comparison to the ever-perfect Hermione, who stood by Harry on both occasions. But if you dig deeper, there are very real and understandable reasons for what Ron did, and very real arguments to be made that he's an even better friend for rising past those reasons and deciding to come back to Harry.

Adding a read more because this will go on for a bit.

In Goblet of Fire, Ron has already been best friends with Harry for three years. Keep in mind, this is a guy who: sacrificed himself in first year, faced his greatest fear in second year, and stood up to an alleged mass murderer in third year. Ron is incredibly brave and selfless. On the other hand, Ron is a very insecure person from the moment we meet him. Overshadowed by his older siblings, he feels the need to rise above them and prove his worth (even though no one should have to prove they matter, but that's beside the point). He feels inadequate, both at being a wizard and being Harry's friend because once again, he's the "weak link" in a relationship. Harry's fame and popularity, both positive and negative (see Chamber of Secrets), always puts a strain on their relationship, but they always face it together and their bond is made stronger each year. But in fourth year, Harry is chosen as the mysterious fourth champion, unbeknownst to wizards such as Dumbledore and Fudge, and most certainly, Ron. He feels betrayed by his best friend, but not because he doesn't trust him. Their entire arc fighting is the culmination of years of Ron's insecurities holding him back and convincing him he's "not good enough". It takes his best friend almost dying to the dragon for him to be the bigger person and admit his mistake, and then proceeds to try to make it up to Harry all year, even going as far as offering his own body as a metaphorical and literal punching bag when Harry is practicing spells for tasks 1 and 2. He's Harry's best friend and makes sure to remind him of that through his actions. Also, for those unfamiliar with the books (because the movies made such a poor job of showing this dynamic), Harry and Hermione were barely able to hold conversations without Ron during their separations. Harry himself says she's a great friend, but "she's not Ron".

Now, in Deathly Hallows, people love to point out Ron leaving them but fail to realize two key elements that, while not excusing Ron's actions, put them into perspective.

1. At the point where they fight, Ron has been wearing the Horcrux for an entire day, even longer than they usually wore it in shifts (and I still maintain that they should have kept it in Hermione's bag, but that's J*R creating stupid conflict). But Gomez, I hear you say, the other two had been wearing it just as much as him. While that is true, it is very obvious that the Horcrux affects Ron's mind even worse than his friends. That is not to say he's weak, far from it, but it is evident that the locket tries to push you away from people and poison your mind and soul by drawing from things such as your insecurities, of which we have established Ron has an abundance. Harry and Hermione are spending a lot of time together, and while neither of them thinks about the other that way, Ron's insecure mind doesn't know that. Plus, Ron has been established to be the equivalent of "street smart" and at the moment, book smarts are much more prevalent as they are researching really old magic and, essentially, magical history (Voldy's past). Once again, he feels inadequate in his standing within his friend group, and the Horcrux takes advantage of that.

2. Something people don't usually realize is that, while his sentiment is flawed, Ron's words aren't entirely without merit. That is to say, Ron reminds Harry that both he and Hermione thought Harry had something more to go on than "we must find various objects". That is obviously not Harry's fault (once again, blame Dumbledore for that one), but the truth is still there, albeit magnified by the locket's power. Ron feels like they're making no progress (because honestly, up until that point, they weren't doing very well). As an aside, the movies paint Ron's argument as much pettier than it actually is in the books, namely by changing this line:

"My parents are dead!" Harry bellowed.

"And mine could be going the same way!" yelled Ron.

which basically frames Ron as being worried about his family, a VERY prevalent fear of his. Remember that, while Harry's family is dead and Hermione's is safe in Australia, Ron's are out there in the open, some even actively fighting Voldemort themselves. The movie, unfortunately, twists this into:

Harry: You think I don't know how this feels?

Ron: No, you don't know how this feels! Your parents are dead, you have no family!

This just invalidates his entire motivation, and frankly, his entire character in the past 6 years. It makes Ron seem like an unsympathetic character. Instead of having Harry bring out his parents as an argument for him having it bad, Ron does so to highlight that Harry does not know what Ron is feeling and that he doesn't have a family, even though they've already established that Harry is essentially already part of the Weasleys.

All in all, there are many smaller moments, both in the books and in the movies, where Ron's character is put into question (as with every character) but people don't like to acknowledge all the good qualities he displays in between those moments. It is in part Steve Kloves' (writer for all movies but one) fault for giving A LOT of Ron quotes to Hermione and turning him into a bumbling buffoon who just wants to eat and is a somewhat funny comedic relief, instead of the sarcastic genius he is in the books.

Fall of Horror Week 9: Scream

I know the twist opening for this movie but I don’t remember who Ghostface is

bro I’m so glad I don’t live in the 90s and have to answer the phone for unknown numbers

BRUH “I want to know who I’m looking at” HELLO?!?!?!?!

WHY DOES SHE KEEP ANSWERING THE PHONE??????? GIRL CALL THE POLICE!!!!!!!

WHY WERE HER DOORS UNLOCKED

“to see what your insides look like” why is this guy like this

how have the smoke alarms not gone off yet??? that popcorn is legit on fire

dude how did that guy punch through a whole ass window

isn’t Billy the killer? is this two people?? Billy and whoever Matthew Lillard plays?

what is the “underwear rule”?!?!?!

I want Sidney to be my girlfriend

god i love 90s fashion

damn Sidney’s house is nice

I’m not surprised Sidney’s dad still left after two kids his daughter’s age were murdered but like damn it would’ve been nice for him to be like “ya know I think I’ll stay home because my daughter’s probably having a hard time”

OH JESUS CHRIST HER MOTHER WAS RAPED AND MURDERED

damn remember when we had to have a phone in every room

BRO THAT 911 COMPUTER THING WHAT THE FUCK THAT’S SO COOL

why did the cellphone make Sidney so suspicious of Billy??????

BRO THE POLICE AREN’T SUPPOSED TO SAY “do you wish to give up your right to remain silent” THAT’S NOW HOW THIS WORKS

bruh why is Courtney Cox’s character there so fast jesus

ugh Dewey is so sweet I love him

“what were you doing with a cellular telephone, son?” why is that line so fucking funny

BRO FUCK YEAH SIDNEY PUNCHING GALE OUT

I know like some of this movie but I still don’t know everything and the fact that the killer knew she was at Tatum’s but it isn’t Billy is blowing my mind. I’m think it’s Stu but like how does he know she’s at Tatum’s????? Was he privy to that conversation?

damn that was a good ollie

bro FUCK Gale she fucking sucks

ooh a Candyman reference!!

bruh Billy’s like “You haven’t been the same since your mom died” NO SHIT YOU TURD

oh damn the principal’s dead

“Billy and his penis don’t deserve you” SHE’S RIGHT SIDNEY

damn I had more faith in Tatum but she really threw herself on the ground and tried to crawl through a cat door

bruh is Billy dead?????? I have my doubts

I love that they used John Carpenter’s sound cue for Michael when Ghostface came through a door while Randy was watching Halloween

“Kenny I’m sorry but get off my fucking windshield” SENT ME

YES SIDNEY LOCKED THEM BOTH OUT QUEEN SHIT

ew fuck Billy quoting Psycho

jesus fuck both these guys

HOLY FUCK THESE GUYS SUCK SO MUCH

does she kill these dickbags because they both deserve it

wow Billy fucking SUCKS

“I feel a little woozy here”

Stu crying and saying “my mom and dad are going to the be so mad at me” is great

I don’t know how realistic the TV death for Stu is but it’s great nonetheless

oh hell yeah Sidney shot Billy in the head

that movie was way better than I thought it was going to be

I loved it! The ending felt a little abrupt but overall it was super fun to watch and never got boring.

next up on Fall of Horror 2021: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

#FOH21 #FOH21 Week 9 #Scream

[creek-cryptid-deluxe]

Oh man. So I just watched a documentary HBO released. It was fantastic but there's a TON of talk about violence & s*xual assault because it was a documentary about...

Woodstock 99.

Now when this happened I was 14. I liked a lot of those bands & thus watched it on MTV (because back then MTV still played music, although MTV2 played more music up my alley, less pop) so I watched this all happen in real time over the course of 3 days. It was bananas.

The documentary was a lot of footage from the event, interviews with attendees, music journalists, the event creators (who still somehow maintain it was a success & 'not as bad as the media made it out to be'), random staff (security & emt), and some artists.

Now, I must retract a statement made yesterday on my Queen of the Damned rant, as Jon Davis was interviewed on this doc. Jon, I apologize for & retract statements made yesterday. You have cleaned it up & it was good to see you looking healthier than I've seen you look in the better part of 2 decades. Proud of you man. Glad you're flourishing. Sorry I was an asshole yesterday.

Can't say the same for my boy Dexter Holland from The Offspring. I wouldn't have known it was him if not for the text onscreen identifying him. He legit looked like someone made a massive overly tanned balloon caricature of him. Holy shit. And this isn't just some "getting older" weight that most people get. This is like... Don Vito from Viva La Bam (rip) level shit. Like...wow.

Moby was interviewed & they showed footage of his bus coming into the venue and I gotta say... dude is still a pretentious piece of shit. I don't understand how he can have his head so far up his own ass & still be able to speak audibly for cameras. Dude wasn't even that good for his genre, much less in general!

Don't get me wrong, I grew up listening to a ton of different genres. Still do. That's what you get when your dad is a musician & your mom is schizoaffective & your stepmom is an 80s new wave/pop person who loves fucking John Hughes movies. Tons of variety. At the 'height' of his career, I was listening to The Prodigy (RIP Keith Flint♡), Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, and Daft Punk. But jesus christ Moby was crap.

Moby: fuck you. You're a shit artist & a garbage person. If I ever meet you, you're getting a cane to the nuts just because of who you are as a person. Then probably again for assaulting the public with your crap electronic music. Wanker.

So the present day interviews did just talk about the events of the festival but also things that were happening in the world at the time because a huge part of why it became the shit show it did was that it catered to & drew in a very specific demographic: angry white dudes between 20-25. They probably weren't sure why they were angry but they absolutely fucking were.

So in talking about what was happening at the time they obviously touched on the Clinton/Lewinsky thing, the fears about y2k, and the like.

The best part of this entire documentary for me:

They talked about the napster thing & the stance Lars Urlich from Metallica took on it. There were actually a number of artists who disagreed with his stance. There was footage of a round table style interview with him & Chuck D from Public Enemy. Lars is over there looking pissy while Chuck D was saying "I think this is a great thing because it puts the music back into the hands of the people." The idea being that they can easily share it with friends & it ends up gaining them new fans. Hell, that was the entire basis for Dashboard Confessional's career. Their vocalist has openly stated that if not for sites like Napster, Limewire, & Kazaa, nobody would have ever heard their music.

Cut to an interview with present day Dave Munstaine (formerly of Metallica but has been the front for Megadeth for far longer. He may also be the reason behind my thing for redheaded dude. Hm.) Let me just say, for being a 59 year old rockstar who just survived throat cancer, that man is still fucking gorgeous. And the hair is still long & red, bless him.

Anyway, his interview is my favorite fucking part because this man said something along the lines of:

"I remember back when I was with Metallica trading mixed cassette tapes. That's how we found new music. This isn't different. Why did Lars do what he did? I mean, who knows why someone does something like that. Doesn't he have enough money? I certainly think so..."

Y'ALL. I legit had to pause it & out loud said "BROOOOOOOOO. That is the most serious but legit shade I've ever seen thrown IN MY LIFE."

Then text my dad (because Metallica is his favorite & he tries to tell me all the time how Lars was justified) & didn't quote it but told him the Dave just threw serious fucking shade at Lars for the Napster thing & that he HAS to watch this doc.

His response was: "lol yeah there's definitely no love lost between Dave & Metallica. You hear Megadeth is putting out a new album despite Dave having just recovered from throat cancer?"

(I had not known about the album or the cancer. I hope Dave is doing well. Love him.)

But yes, that was the absolute highlight of my fucking week much less the documentary.

A warning: the low point of the doc is when attendees & journalists are talking about the instances of the aforementioned assaults & they cut to one of the even organizers present day interview & he says:

"I mean, we aren't talking about thousands of instances or even hundreds. There were maybe 50 or so." (At which point I scream "THAT WERE OFFICIALLY REPORTED YOU SCUMBAG!" This was later confirmed for me by an attendee who set up an anonymous site for attendees to report if they had been assaulted at the event so they wouldn't feel alone & have there story heard. There WERE 1000s.) Then he went on to say: "All those women who were walking around topless or wearing body paint, expecting not to be touched, they are partly to blame."

EXCUSE SIR, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY ON CAMERA FOR A DOCUMENTARY?!?!

Then he keeps talking about the event was an overall success & blames the artists for riling up the crowd (bruh you booked a load of bands that are angry. Korn. Dmx. Rage Against the Machine. Limp fucking Bizkit. What did you expect them to do? Come out and play fucking folk music? No. Their brand is fucking anger.) & of course the media for 'blowing it way out of proportion & scewing the narrative by only interviewing artists who were upset/angry.'

But every artist who was interviewed in present day was like "Yeah the energy of the crowd was fucking insane & hostile." Artists kept having to begin sets or stop mid-set to be like "Hey man! I'm seeing a lot of chicks getting groped while they crowd surf or out there enjoying the music. That shit is unacceptable. They deserve to enjoy themselves without getting groped. Ladies, if a dude crowd surfs by you, grab his fucking balls! Equality, right ladies?!" (This particular quote was from Dexter Holland mid-set with The Offspring. God love him.)

In short, good doc if you aren't triggered by such things, especially if you watched it in real time back in 99. Absolutely worth it for the Dave Munstaine shade. I'm still reeling about that. Fucking brilliant.

Dave, I know you're nearly my dad's age, but call me. I've loved you since i was like 6 yrs old.

(I also loved Sebastian Bach of Skid Row at the time, but let's keep that on the down low. What can I say, I love musicians with good hair.)
