♡ They are head over heels for you. You are their princess/ prince, whom they love babying, and spoiling.
♡ One of them is always with you, one of them is always touching you, one of them is always indulging you somehow.
♡ Between the eight boy, and under their love you are so shy. They never had a bad or loud word to you. They always all over you.
♡ Chan, who always watching out for you. He helps you with anything even when he is busy, or tired. He puts you to bed if you want to stay awake with him, or sits you on his lap in his studio while he works. He just softly chukles when you blushing because of it. He always comforts you if you are feeling down. Chan always makes sure, that his members are okay. He is the sweetest.
♡ Minho, who always bullying and roasting you, but out of love. He never wants to hurt you. Once, on your early says as a team, he roasted you, and you cried, because you tought that he was serious. After that he almost begged on his knees to you to accept his apology. After that he cuddled with you, and showed you pics and videos of cute baby cats or animals. This habit of his remained all over the years.
♡ Changbin who wants you to go to the gym with him, so he can admire you while he works out. (And of course, you can see him showing off his muscles) He likes to make you laugh, even if his jokes are bad. His favorite thing is to give kisses on the back of your hand. Of course you blush like crazy, even after these years.
♡ Hyunjin always paints you, and the pics you have on their official instagram page, was made by Hyunjin. All of them. He thinks of you as his muse. He loves to listen to you singing, while you caress his hair. He often brings you coffe in the mornings, along with pastry. And you do that for him too. He is often tickles you. And sometimes you roast him with Minho. But of course lovingly.
♡ Han, who always steals your secret snacks, but then buys you new snacks. He loves to see you eat, and he always looks for you if he has food. You often watch animes with him, and cuddle with him. Felix often joins to the cuddling. Han loves to dance with you, and he wants you to dance with him to the music of Howl's Moving Castle.
♡ Felix who always makes sure that you are eating enough. He feeds you, whether you want or not. He often helps you with the coreography. You two are the crybabies of the group. You two often go to zoos, or he likes to go shopping with you, because sometimes he needs the opinion of a girl.
♡ Seungmin who is the other member who loves to roast you. But learning from Minho's case, he always do it softer and cuter. He knows how cute he is, and he often uses it against you. He loves to attack you from behind, and hugging you tightly. He plays tag with you on the stage, what's in the end is a big chaos now including the other members too.
♡ Jeongin, who always gives you his hoodie or coat, the weather doesn't matter. He is younger than you, but he always babies you too, along with the members. He often poses for pics with you. He loves to draw you cute doodles, everywhere where he knows you will see it.
♡ You are their most important, most precious person. They are always have to be close to you.
♡ During lives, they are fighting (of course in the funny way) that in whos lap should you sit. And while they are trying to decide, you are standing there, blushing in front of the camera.
♡ The stays love how the guys are treating you. And they are admire you too.

So I just watched the first episode of the live action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" adaption and I'm just... not a fan. I had my trepidations going into it, so I probably was biased from the start, but it just doesn't work for me. - And rewatching the first two episodes of the original series just cemented my feelings about it. I could go on about the way the characters feel so watered down and like lesser versions of themselves, I could talk about the strange narrative and character changes that just don't really make sense (Like why did they change that Aang straight up RUNS AWAY from his role as the Avatar to him just wanting to clear his head? What narrative purpose does this serve?). I could talk about how there is just waaaay too much exposition and unearned information being thrown at the viewer that's only overwhelming and not presented in a way that's compelling or serves the narrative. (Like giving us all the information about how Aang ended up in the iceberg way before the actual narrative in the Southern Water Tribe starts, thereby taking away the whole weirdness of a kid just being stuck. In an iceberg. And surviving that. And being completely nonplussed about it. - An introduction to the original series that just build SO much intrigue) But there is this one thing that just makes the live action far less enjoyable to me compared to the animated series. And that's it being live action. Most of the time, there is a good goddamn reason why an original series or movie was animated. And that's because it's just visually far more interesting and because there are less visual constraints. And "Avatar: The Last Airbender" definitely is a series that suffers from the visual constraints that come with live action. The bending just doesn't feel as impressive and has the same OOMPH! that it had in the animated series. Aang's airbending feels off and weirdly floaty, and the way the animated character's weight and movements interacted with the airbending in the animated series just can't be replicated in a convincing way in live action. You always can tell that the actor is being pulled around by a string, and that what he is supposed to be intimately interacting with has been added in post, and the actor is interacting with nothing, or some sort of stand-in at best. The fighting coreography just feels clunky and unfocused, movements and the flow of fights just get bogged down and obscured by the heavy visual effects. Instead of the bending being an extension of the characters and clearly coreographing their fighting styles and movements, it becomes visual clutter. And we just don't get scenes like Katara and Aang going penguin sledding. We don't get the visual of a giant ship approaching a lone teenage boy and ramming straight into his only home. We don't get the strange inhuman-ness of Aang while being in the Avatar state, just glowing eyes and glowing tattoos, none of his other facial features visible. I'll just... I'll never understand why people think live action automatically improves on a property. The animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender made it as incredible as it was. It wasn't great despite of it, it was great because of it. Because it allowed for visuals and visual storytelling that just won't be possible within the budget and the real constraints of live action filming. And I just... UGH, when will they finally understand that? And see animation as not something inferior, but an incredible and far less constrained tool to tell stories that otherwise wouldn't work in live action? It just makes me sad.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A long night
I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night, and now I see daylight, I only see daylight.
It was all my design, 'cause I'm a mastermind.
Gender: female Warnings: i guess none
You kind of stumble around while you try to catch your breath. How the heck does the coreographer create those insanely difficult coreographies is beyond you. You can barely breath after a whole hour of dancing.
You've been trying to get this coreo right for the last week, but the problem is you don't seem to be making improvements.
You wipe your forehead with the sleeve of your long t-shirt and try to stand up properly. Thanking the teacher and greeting the other girls, you take back the sweather you discarded earlier and get out. Finally it's done.
It has been a really long and tiring day, but now you deserve your beloved coffee.
Are you going to sleep? Probably you'll not even try now since you need to go back and practice at least a little more. The next monthly evaluation is incredibly close, even if the last one feels like it was just yesterday. Therefore, the coffee is a good choice.
While you walk to the coffee shop, you try to keep yourself warm in your sweather. The weather's so cold during the night, but nights in Seoul are just something else. You've been here for a while now and the night never stops mesmerizing you for how pretty the streets are and how you feel loved: you, who's never been really loved by anyone before. You love practicing in the night, when the whole city is asleep and there's only you against the world, when you can take your time and fix every little detail with patience and love, taking care of yourself. A good coffee is all you need to keep going.
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
Coffee secured and ready to be drunk, you thank the guy at the register and take the wallet back.
Why doesn't this bag open? You curse in a low voice.
Your mum was right when she told you to get a bag that had a zip instead of such a complex type of lock, but when you got to the shop, this bag was definitely the prettiest.
While you fight with your bag, you are pushed sideways by a group of guys who are probably here to get a midnight ice-cream. You think for a monent to insult them or something, but in the end, you just side-eye the one who pushed you and keep trying to open your bag.
You end up on the floor, you don't even know how, but you probably bumped into someone and now your coffee is splashed everywhere, in particular on yourself. And the point is you can not even say anything because it's all your fault for not looking around.
"My shirt..." you look up and that's when you start to freak out. In front of you there's K.
He's one of the most popular guys in the whole company, and he was so popular even back in his trainee days, with the girls fangirling over him and desperatly trying to let him know how interested they were, even if it is not exactly allowed by your company. It's common for him to find a couple of sweets with handwritten letters here and there - he's even recieved one right in front of you just a couple of days ago.
But he's also really popular among guys for his perfect body and amazing personality. He's respectful towards superiors and teachers and even towards the other students and, when he works in a group, he leads well: just the perfect hyung.
You two had met before in random situations: once in the lobby of the company and you just bowed to each other and talked a bit - in a really, really embarassing small talk - once in a formal meeting and once in a training room. But you basically don't know him personally, except for all the voices about him.
Still, here he is, stunning and perfect as always and offering you a hand to lift you up the ground. And he's smiling to you, as if his shirt is not as stained as yours is - and it's all your fault. You can't even look at him in his eyes, but you remember from your previous encounters the warm color they have.
You accept the hand he is offering and you find it to be soft and gentle when holding yours; even his other hand that only slightly touches your side to help you regain your balance is delicate.
"I'm sorry for the coffee..." you try to tell him.
"Don't be, it's okay. I needed to wash it anyways after practice". And he laughs a bit. You smile in return, thankful for the fact he's not making it weight on you.
"I'm K by the way".
"Oh yes, I know". Ops.
"Do you?"
You'd like to slap yourself but you avoid doing so only because it would make the whole situation even worse. You opt to say the truth.
"Yes... you're kinda famous at the agency".
He laughs. You look at him in the eyes for the very first time since you spilled the coffee. You're probably red on your cheeks, since you feel them so warm. But he's just stunning while he laughs and thanks you for the judgement.
"Do you have time? We could take a coffee so you replace the one you dropped".
"Actually, I was thinking about practicing a little more" you tell him, feeling sorry to decline an invitation that would be every girl's (and boy's) dream.
"Oh, got it. The monthly evaluation is in just a week. You're a tough one. - he laughs - You must be the best trainee there".
And you feel a bit ashamed to confess that actually, you're one of the worst in your group. The teachers even told you that if you don't start improving faster, you could even never make it.
"And what's worst is that my weakness is dance. I can never get movements right and they are weak and I don't look catching while dancing".
"Ehy, I can definitely help you with that!"
"Oh no, I'm really terrible, I don't want to bother you".
"No, really, I'd love to help you. Dance is my specialty". He has an amused look in his eyes while he smirks to you and brushes his hair back with his hand.
Along with everything else, you think.
And just like that, the god of dance sent you an angel of dance to help your uncoordinated ass to debut.
And you agree to him helping you, pulling out all the courage you have inside to say yes and not to die there and then.
So, after ordering two more cups of coffee, he follows you back to the agency, trying to keep a low profile on the streets.
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
Once you get there, you both get changed, discarding the stained shirts and you show him the series of steps that you have to master for basically the next week.
He sits on the floor in a relaxed position, looking at you - in particular, focused on your body - with full attention.
"What's your action plan?"
"My action plan?"
"Yea, the strategy to master all of that in the short time you have".
"I don't have one".
"Y/n, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. You need an action plan".
K stands up and, for just a split second , you think he's going to open the door, get out, and never come back again, but he actually just grabs a pen and some paper and come back to where you're sitting.
"Let's say we have five hours. You can practice the first chorus for the first hour. It's the most physically demanding part, and it probably weights the most during the evaluation, so we should definitely work on that first. And then we can focus on expression and..."
He keeps using "we": we should practice, we have time... You feel a bit warm in your chest to see how he takes helping you improve by the heart. He could be sleeping right now or practicing his own coreography for the comeback or anything, but he's here helping you. You can't fail.
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
"Y/n! Again!"
You've already been practicing for two hours and yes, the breaks are almost nonexistent, but till now he has kept it funny and light, with nice talking in between the practices and a lot of words of support.
The problem is this small sequence that he had to show you twice and then explain really slow and still you can't get it right.
He stands up and comes behind you.
You feel a rush of heat to your cheeks as soon as he comes closer.
"The leg should be bent like this, - he holds your knee and moves it a little downwards, causing shivers to start from your knee and reach your whole body - and your hand should reach your knee fastly this way". He grabs your hand and his touch is still as soft and gentle as earlier while he brings your hand to your knee, showing you the right timing.
"Why are you shivering, are you cold?"
You feel heat come up to your cheeks and you start mumbling some absolutely random words: "No, no, just a little tired..."
You look at the mirror to check the position he led uou into, but all you notice is your red face: you're blushing like crazy and that makes you even more embarassed. In the mirror, you meet K's eyes. A shiver runs up your spine again while you just can't move your eyes away from his face, so incredibly close to yours. His black hair partially covers his eyes and the hem of the tshirt leaves his neck exposed. He's just that attractive.
You can even feel his breath on your cheek when he speaks again: "Repeat this part again."
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
The music comes to a halt and you keep your final position for the standard three seconds.
"YAY, Y/n that was perfect!" He jumps and in a moment he is on his feet and hugging you.
For the first second you don't know how to react and the only thing you're thinking about is how sweaty you must be after all these training hours, but then you give in and hug him too.
Now you get why everyone says he has a warm personality.
He caresses your hair and then lets you go.
When you two are distant enough, you look into his eyes and see how much he's smiling to you, his cheeks just as red as yours are.
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
"Y/n, how far is your dorm?"
"Actually, I'd need to take the bus..."
"No way I'm letting you take the bus this late".
"Yes but how do I get there?"
"By car, of course. Jump in".
He stops near a car that bips segnaling it's now unlocked. It's a small black car, but seems to be in really good conditions.
"How is it possible that you always knew what I need?"
"I'm wonderful, I know" and shoots you an enormous smile.
𓂃 𓂂 ⋆ ˳ْ  ˖ 𓂃
"I love night car rides. They're magical". You two have all the windows down while he runs on the higway and you look outside at the lights that alternatively flash or shut and the brushes and the few other cars that pass you by in the opposite direction. You look at K, whose eyes are fixed on the road. You can see the shine in his dark pupils.
"They are. And what makes them special is the person you're with". And he shoots you a little look. You are a little puzzled, but cannot help but smile too.
For the rest of the ride you keep talking about your lives and you're surprised that K knows you so well, as if it's not the first time you two meet and laughs it off with the same excuse you used earlier: you're famous among trainees, but you know for sure it's a lie because you definitely are not that famous. He must have made researches about you and that thought only, even without a certainty, makes you shy. And then you two fall silent, but it feels comfortable nontheless.
"We're here" K looks out of his window to check the building you live in. Then turns to you.
"Thank you so much K, I can't express how much I needed this help and support. You seemed to have exactly anything I needed and to be exactly in the perfect place".
He laughs in a way that feels somehow awkward and then clears his throath: "Actually, there's something I must tell you." He is not looking at you anymore, while your eyes are fixed on him.
"The few times we met eachother have never neen fortunate accidents. I've always known where you were and desperatly tried to meet you."
You stay silent, hoping he continues. And he does: "The first encounter, at the company, when we first met, do you remember it? That was actually the only encounter I didn't plan and the one who went the worst, considering I just couldn't speak comfortably and made the whole thing embarassing". You laugh at the dear memory. You've never thought about how cute that first time was.
"And even tonight, I knew you'd go to that coffee shop and I knew your dancing lacked and you needed help".
"So you did foresee your tshirt splashed by coffee too?"
He laughs: "No, of course no!" And his answer made you laugh too.
"But I've wanted to meet you and speak this comfortably to you for so long. I just hope it's not too creepy". That's when he looks at you.
"K, it's not. I kinda figured out at some point - you smirk, while he sends you a puzzled look - becayse you knew too many things about me. Like, come on, you'd be a terrible spy. Anyways, seeing you, one of the most popular guys of the company, an amazing idol and an incredible person embarassed and shy like this... it's cute."
Then you turn your gaze down to your hands, unsure weather to continue or not, but after a while add: "And I kinda like you too".
He's still and looking at you for a while, but then, with the side of your eye, you see him moving closer to you, one hand still on the steering wheel. When you turn to look at him, his face is incredibly close to yours.
He leaves a soft peck on the side of your lips: it could be anything in between a respectful kiss on the cheek and an attempt to kiss you on the lips, but you don't complain.
"Y/n, if you'd like, we can meet again".

What are your thoughts on Sailor Moon and its characters? I'm personally still surprised over how ahead of its time it was and how much it holds up in today's media.
I was going to answer this ask while I watched Promise of the Rose last night but it’s not available where I watch it 😭 this is devastating…
Anyhoo, I have a LOT of thoughts re:Sailor Moon! I'll list them below, rapid-fire style, in no particular order. I also have no idea what the consensus is so there may be some hot takes I’m just not aware of haha :P
I had no idea how much of a little shithead Usagi was! I guess seeing gifs and images from her I had a very different concept of what she'd be like, but I really love how much of a gremlin she can be.
For such a romance-obsessed series (which I don't mind and actually quite enjoy most of the time) they don't actually show you much of the actual relationships, which I think is a shame. You've already sold me on Usagi and Mamoru, but I need more meat on those bones! Show me them going on cute dates! Show me arguments that last longer than two lines (and are often motivated by magical destiny BS)! You're telling me about a love that has managed to survive through death and the thousands of years in between their past and present lives, now show me it!
I'm such a sucker for the premise of S1. The sense of love and duty persisting through death and reincarnation, the struggle to regain the memories of a past life while keeping your footing in the modern world, the classic balancing act between being a teenager and having the weight of the world on your shoulders as a superhero, the engaging dynamics between the members of the Dark Kingdom and, of course, the bonds between the Sailor Scouts...
...and that finale, goddamn. What a freakin' sucker punch. It's one thing to allude to the fact that death is a very real possibility when facing the enemy throughout the series, but the show hadn't done much more than flirt with it a bit here and there. Seeing that flashback to the Silver Millennium and realizing that not only is it possible for them to die in the line of duty, but that it's actually a very likely prospect...and then following through with it! That sequence, as each of the Guardians sacrifices themselves to clear the way for Sailor Moon, with Usagi going through pretty much every stage of grief in a mere few minutes, had me slack-jawed the whole way through. And Usagi finally fully embracing her identity as Princess Serenity and sacrificing herself as her mother once did, wishing for something as simple (as understandably selfish, as heartbreakingly yearning) as giving herself and her beloved friends their normal lives back, free of their burden. Genuinely perfect ending.
I think the only part that doesn't work for me about the S1 finale is that the monsters that kill the Guardians aren't shown to be special in any way, just volunteers from Beryl's monster hordes. I wish they'd been her elite royal guard that never left her side or something, otherwise why wait to deploy what are clearly your most powerful mooks? It makes the lieutenants lesser by comparison.
The bespoke animations for each of the signature attacks (and the transformation sequences, of course) are great, but there's like...no fighting in this show, which is disappointing, ngl. I know this isn't a shonen and I'm not asking for complex fight coreography, but trading a few blows, damaging the environment, just generally showcasing that the Guardians aren't just soundbites and elemental ranged attacks would be much appreciated.
I regret to inform you all I've become a Sailor Earth truther. NARU DESERVES BETTER (or at least, she deserves to have superpowers so she doesn't get her life force drained every other episode, jfc)
S2 had kind of atrocious pacing - I didn't mind it having two distinct arcs, but the Ail and An arc dragged on for too long and too much time was spent with Rubeus relative to the other Black Moon clan members, so it really robbed them of their impact. I felt great satisfaction when Rubeus was defeated, but the others...eh. I did love the Spectre Sisters and their decision to become normal humans, and Wiseman/Death Phantom (though he kinda came outta nowhere) was super cool. Never underestimate the stark image of a bleached human skull and a cool voice haha.
I feel like most people probably find Chibiusa really annoying (and I was right there with them a few times, admittedly), but remembering that she's a terrified, traumatized child really helped. It was utterly bizarre of Usagi (and the show, to some extent) to consider her any sort of rival for Mamoru's love, that was uncomfortable and ridiculous. The reveal that it's her fault that Crystal Tokyo went to shit was great, I loved that (and generally the implication that the Black Moon Clan is only a problem because they were excluded from utopia as part of Silver Millennium 2.0 for very vague reasons felt like a very intriguing detail, like Neo-Queen Serenity might've also made a huge mistake there.)
Just generally speaking, I wish the Sailor Scouts were a bit more consistent in battle; they're either utterly dominating or getting absolutely destroyed within moments of arriving.
The drip (as the kids say) in this show is impeccable lol everyone always looks amazing
I could go on but you get the idea! I just started Sailor Moon S yesterday so I'm still trucking along. If there's anything I didn't mention that you want my opinion on feel free to hit me with another ask!

small sequel discussion under the cut, nile related 
on the latest set pics featuring kiki, @eddie-spaghettis-tozier​ pointed out that thing on her bag asking “is that a sword?”
Tumblr media
which, thank you! i hadn’t noticed! anyway, bringing this to discussion on the BoN server and @lady-writes​ brought up the possibility of escrima! for many reasons, the baston seems like a great pick for her: 1) not as directly lethal as the others’, though still possibly lethal, 2) in @lady-writes​‘ words, they can easily work as “training wheels” for andy’s labrys, like we see in my mother’s axe when andy was using a baston while nile used the axe, 3) badass fight coreography! nile gets more of that per kiki’s words!, and as a 4) bonus point, it fits with joe’s tahtib use! 
according to wikipedia, escrima (eskrima, arnis, kali) was already one of the martial arts used in the first movie’s fight coreographies and training, so it also wouldn’t be a big stretch
Tumblr media
anyway, it seems like nile now has a cool weapon that’s not a repeat of anyone else’s, but also closely related to them anyway!

YOUTH: CHAPTER 1
Weeks passed by, and finally a big moment for our Boys Planet partecipants arrived: the signal song!
They did their best to change their star level, luckily Hao managed to mantain his status as an all star, but now was Sung Hanbin’s turn.
Hao watched Hanbin from the screen outside the star level test re-evaluation room, to Hao’s eyes, Sung Hanbin was the most handsome and charismatic human being he ever seen, he was totally all over him.
When Sung Hanbin finishes his “here i am” performance as his final pose he took from his pocket a star and placed it from the blank space on his sign, since he was rank as a three star. Everyone went wild when they saw this move, Hao in particularly stood up from his place with his eyes and mouth wide open: Hanbin was not also a talented dancer, vocalist with an appearance of an angel. He was also very confident when it comes to show off his skills as an artist, so Hao began to admire him even more.
Sung Hanbin managed to move from three stars to an all star, as expected from the hype that even the mentors gave to him.
Time passed to this day and now the moment of truth finally came: they were about to announce who will become the center of each group and who will end up obtain the killing part by standing on the main step.
Two names.
And the two names were:
«Sung Hanbin and Zhang Hao»
the announcer said, that means one thing: Hao was finally about to spend time close to his crush.
——
The first day of practice came and they were about to try the bridge part of the choreography, Hao and Sung Hanbin were at the center of the step were the all star trainees were.
And finally the magic moment came, their eyes met when they did their part of the coreography, Hao’s heart skipped a beat but Hanbin on the other hand gave him a neutral look.
the second day came and as usual, Hao and Hanbin were at their own platform as it was still down.
There was an embarrassing silence, and Hao took the courage and decided to break it.
«hey»
Hao shyly greeted him.
Hanbin immediately gave him a big and friendly smile.
«You’re supposed to be my rival, aren’t you?»
Hanbin jokes.
On the other hand Hao was red as he was overwhelmed by the typical feelings of the butterflies in the stomach, “that beautiful smile…” … He immediately composed himeself as he didn’t want to look like a weirdo in front of Sung Hanbin in person.
«A rival? oh that’s kinda harsh, I mean… We’re not about to fight in a war, don’t we?»
the chinese boy laughed.
«well, so… You won this round… You’re ranked first and you’re the one between us to have the killing part»
Hao added.
Hanbin put a hand on one of his shoulder and said:
«Well, it’s too early to say this, you’re also very talented! maybe you can easily surpass me»
«oh you’re so sweet…»
Hao talked
«… To think that there will be a tiny tiny possibility for me to surpass you»
Hanbin put the other hand on his other shoulder, like he wanted to encourage him.
«tiny? can you believe in yourself just a little beat, sir? I think you can do it»
Hanbin talked and he genuinely smiled at him.
«If you say so»
Hao said, he didn’t want to contradict him, he was to cute and sweet he didn’t have the nerve to decide to start an argument with him
Weeks passed by and finally something between Hao and Sung Hanbin developed: they were seen as the duo royalty, they were K and G’s centers, something big was coming for them, but in the end Hao finally managed to make interractions with Sung Hanbin.
But still: he thinks that Sung Hanbin was unreachable.
——
One of the biggest moment came: the first mission.
Hao was chosen by Keita to take part on the Kill this Love team, along with: Wang Zihao, Min, Chen Kuanjui and Seok Matthew.
Seok Matthew was THE closest friend of Hanbin, maybe Hao will ask some advice to him about Hanbin, but now they had a lot of work to do: they must put their performance and beat the K group with the battle song.
Hao was their leader and the main vocalist and Keita obtained the killing part, so when the others obtained their own role in this performance they started to practice.
The dark hours came by, all the trainees went to their dorms and he had to share the room with his teammates. When he entered to the room he found Matthew sitting on his bed, so this was Hao’s to talk to his crush best friend and ask for help.
«Hey, Matthew I want to tell you something…»
he shyly said… Did he really have the intention to tell his crush’s best friend his feelings for him?
He was embarrassed of that idea but… Did he have a second option?
«Zhang Hao, right? oh sure, spill it out»
the canadian boy said and he invited Hao to sit next to him.
The chinese boy sited next to Matthew as he was unsure to spill the hot tea about himself, but Hao was kind of desperate about Hanbin's topic, so he decided to talk about his situation by using the "I know this person" card.
«Well... I know this person. This person discovers the meaning of love at first sight as he saw this dude walking into the same room as theirs»
he started to tell.
«But what if you actually know this dude. What if you and this dude are actually very close friends and... And the person I know tells you that they have a crush on your friend... what would you do?»
But on the other hand, Matthew wasn’t stupid, he knew what the chinese boy was talking about and he actually saw the chemistry between him and his best friend.
«So there’s a person has a crush on someone I know, right? Well, I’m kind of jealous and overprotective»
the canadian answered.
«But I still want to help because you deserve all the happiness and my support»
He continued.
«You…?» Hao turned bright red from the embarrassment, he knew that Matthew got what he was going to say.
«Well I guess I don’t have to hide anything to you»
Hao nervously laughed
«Thank you…»
he said shyly
«No problem! We’re friends of course I’m willing to help you!»
Matthew giggled as he saw Hao’s reaction.
But soon they heard the door opening, they first thought that was Keita, but it turned out to be Sung Hanbin and he was wearing a sleeveless shirt.
“Jesus Christ” Hao thought.
Disclaimer from the author: as always I wanted to remember that since english is not my first language, I apologize for eventual grammar or spelling mistakes. Also, I wanted to know that I have on my mind to do a spin-off of this story where the main character pov is Matthew

Loosen up
The LeoKasa brainrot is real and if I don't write for them I might explode. My love for these two gets worse by the minute aidhsudhsjhd. Anyways I've been feeling pretty bleh today so I decided to write a 'lil something for them~
Uchuu~☆
Tumblr media
___________________________________________
Leo x Tsukasa (interpret as you wish)
Lee: Tsukasa
Ler: Leo
Warnings: Tickles!
___________________________________________
I think it's no secret that Tsukasa is very passionate about his work as an idol, always trying to make his performances as perfect as they can be. But that also causes him to be too hard on himself, today not being the exception. He couldn't seem to feel satisfied with the dance routine he was currently practicing.
On the other hand, Leo was dozing off in his comfy chair, completely ignoring his duties. Sadly for him, Tsukasa's frustrated grunts kept snapping him out of dreamland. He tried his best to ignore him, but it started getting on his nerves. "UGH! Can't you keep quiet over there?!" yelled the ginger in a sudden outburst.
"I'm sorry, I just can't seem to get this part down" Tsukasa let out a sigh of defeat.
"That so? Lemme see" Leo put his full attention onto the redhead, observing his coreography. "Hmm... you look pretty stiff" he noted as he got up to get a closer look at the redhead. "You need to loosen up, newbie~" he teased as he gave his junior a poke to the side, not thinking much of it until Tsukasa let out a yelp. "What was that?" the ginger asked as he tilted his head to the side.
"N-nothing!" Tsukasa said a bit too quickly, his cheeks instantly growing red out of embarrassment.
Of course Leo didn't believe that. Once everything clicked in his head, he got the best, mischevious idea on how to help his junior out. Without saying a word, he gave Tsukasa's sides an experimental squeeze.
"GYAH!" the redhead almost got stuck to the ceiling from how high he jumped. An embarrassing high pitched squeal escaping his lips.
"So you are ticklish~ This should help loosen you up~!" Leo scribbled his fingers up and down Tsukasa's sides, ocassionally tickling his tummy as well.
"BWAH! AHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsukasa's knees buckled and he quickly went crashing down onto the floor from how ticklish he was. Although that didn't stop Leo from tormenting him.
"Who would've thought youd'd be this ticklish~ Coochi coochi coo~" teased the ginger as he playfully scratched at the redhead's tummy as if he were a puppy.
"NAHAHAHAHA! Q-QUIT IT!" Tsukasa wrapped his arms around his torso as he did his best to curl up. And the teasing for sure didn't help, at this rate his face would match his hair.
Feeling like a little shit, Leo leaned down and whispered close to his ear "You sure? You look like you're enjoying yourself~". Which caused Tsukasa to let out a high pitched squeak as he tried to scrunch up his shoulders. "Ohoh my god, your ears are ticklish?!" the composer chuckled out as he teasingly blew into the other's ear.
"EEP! Dohohohon't!" Tsukasa giggled out hysterically as he shook his head around. Even his ticklish ears were dusted a nice, rosy shade from how embarrassed he felt.
"No?? What about here then~?" Leo gave him a teasy smirk as he gently scribbled his fingers along Tsukasa's neck.
"Pfft! Ahahahaha! S-stahaha- *snort*!" they both stopped dead in their tracks at the sudden snort. Tsukasa tried catching his breath while looking absolutely mortified, and Leo looked at him with so much amusement.
"That was so cute! Do it again!!" his fingers quickly latched back onto Tsukasa's neck, enjoying all the precious sounds he made.
"Nahahaha- *snort*! N-no mohohore- *snort*!" Tsukasa was so tickled out he didn't even bother to fight back. His crinkled eyes had tears pricked in the corners and his cheeks were starting to hurt from how big his smile was.
Noticing that his laughter was starting to die out, Leo decided to cut him some slack. He tried helping him up but Tsukasa's legs still felt like jello so instead he helped him sit down. The redhead panted and tried wiping off the dorky smile left on his face, while Leo took a seat next to him. "How are you feeling now?".
"...surprisingly I feel more relaxed. Although my legs still feel too shaky to continue practicing".
"That's okay, you can try again later~" the composer playfully ruffled his hair, earning a soft smile from the youngest.
"By the way, how did you know that would help?" questioned the redhead out of curiosity.
"Well... tickling always helps me relax, so I thought it'd work on you too".
"Wait, so you're ticklish?!" Tsukasa asked as he wore a giddy expresion.
"Oof look at the time! Gotta go now~!" in less than a second Leo managed to zoom on out of the room, leaving his junior dumbfounded for a moment.
"Hold up! I'm not done with you!" Tsukasa giggled like a kid as he went chasing after Leo not long after. It was only a matter of time until Tsukasa could get his sweet revenge.
___________________________________________
Idk why but last night while I was feeling sleep deprived I kept thinking about Tsukasa with ticklish ears akdhsjdhsj
LeeKasa is so cute I could dieeee💖

Silver Talks AniManga (5/03/23)
there’s a buncha new Jump SQ series but they’re not on Manga Plus yet cause of Viz so I’ll read them whenever they arrive there. I could do it on Viz but don’t feel like fiddling around with vpn for it, I can just wait a week lol
I wanted to do this last week, but didn’t get around to it, but from now I’ll have a list of everything that’s under the cut, in order (left to right), here so you can know what’s in there without opening it EDIT: Witch Watch Ch99 is between sxf and bb, completely forgot about it tehe
Tumblr media
Dandadan Ch95
the training arc is finally over and now is the time for the big fights to begin 👀also didn’t say last week but it’s crazy to me how yukinobu manages to, consistently, have crazy pages like this on a weekly series
Tumblr media
One Punch Man Ch178
thank you for the excellent food like always murata 🙏 I feel bad for poor metal bat at the end tho lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaiju 8 Ch81
oh yeah there was no kaiju last time but I’ll keep it short. it’s really good, just a good ol hot blooded battle manga. I especially appreciate having an older mc (30s) for once. anyway I figured what happened in this chap was the case from when the 1v1 fights started but still, stuff is looking dire monka
Show-ha Shoten! Ch16
it’s about manzai comedy and drawn by takeshi obata of death note fame, I wasn’t sure about it at first cause comedy stuff either gets you or it doesn’t but it’s pretty good even ignoring the jokes and all that. also been a while since last chap so I forgot they had introduced a baddie sheesh
Tumblr media
Ichigoki’s Under Control!! Ch13
another bad chap, at least it should be ending soon so that’s good cause I’ve been over it for a while
The Ichinose Family’s Deadly Sins Ch15
not much to say here either, still as edgy as ever, tho it’s certainly gotten a lot better since the bullying arc. but I’m still waiting for it to end soon like ichigoki, fabricant and ginka
Fabricant 100 Ch12
honestly? one of the best chaps it’s had. the scene under was cool and the reveal and spread at the end was neat
Tumblr media
Ginka & Gluna Ch24
some really gnarly art in this one, which has been ginka’s biggest strenght from the start and this chap really shows it. tho good art is not enough to save it and it seems to be setting up to end soon, which is expected considering it’s rankings
Jiangshi X Ch7
more sprinklings of the overarching plot and setting up the main villains, expecting the mcs to get saved by the big boss and then for there to be a timeskip of sorts to when they’re strong enough to actually fight scary stuff but we’ll see
Tokyo Demon Bride Story Ch25
damn thing’s didn’t go according to plan and they got caught by the big baddie? what a shocker. leaving my prediction here that next chap is gonna be mostly talking and a cliffhanger at the end with them about to fight
SPY x FAMILY Ch76
anya focused chap with her being a fool as usual, not much to say really lol
Tumblr media
Witch Watch Ch99
a teacher chap oh no. thank you for your hard work translator and typesetter. teacher chaps are always rough cause they’re super wordy and it’s all hardcore otaku rambling but this one had a nice message along with it so that was good
Tumblr media
Blue Box Ch91
another incredibly good chapter. yumeka’s extremely relatable for me as I also used to do sports and quit for the exact same reasons she did as she explained some chaps ago and her feeling in this chap too. it’s just crazy to me to see a character like this in a sports manga where every chara just loves the sport and rarely has any second thoughts or negative feelings about it.
incredible work as usual miura-sensei, jump really needs more female authors
Tumblr media
Cipher Academy Ch14
a nice chap, however I’m very excited for the murder mystery game. it seems like it’ll be very fun especially considering the 2 cards that got revealed and the narration box at the end 👀
Mashle Ch146
well that was fast, I expected that to last 2 or 3 chaps total not just 1 lol
Sakamoto Days Ch109
you’re gonna hear me say this a lot but the action coreography in sakamoto is some of favourite in anything, it’s soooo good
Tumblr media
The Elusive Samurai Ch100
always very exciting to see a series reach the big 100. a nice chap too, done with upgrading the mcs tho this line had me very 👀👀👀
Tumblr media
Akane-banashi Ch52
holy moly, another incredibly good chapter, continuing from the last one and further setting up and characterizing akane’s biggest rival
Tumblr media
Ayakashi Triangle Ch122
a nice conclusion to that mini arc and a cute ending, thank you yabuki as always

Liveblogging Absolution
Episode 1
Not really sold on the first few minutes, idk why though.
The combat coreography is pretty nice! So are the colors and character design, although the animation is a bit too exagerated for my taste.
THE GIRL WAS IN THE INQUISITION THEYRE TALKING ABOUT MY BOY!! OOH THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING
Fairbanks has an OH MY GOD CASSANDRA AND LELIANA BUT ALSO CASSANDRA SHUT UP MY WARDEN WAS A BLOOD MAGE
Not a fan of the audio either tbh. Again, just not my taste. I like it when the background song can make me feel things but not realize it's there.
Wait, templars exist in Tevinter?
So far I'm not liking the writing either, and it kinda upsets me. The way dialog flows feels off, subtelty not being a thing to show character, making my introduction to them more of a charicature. That can change tho
I get why they use the word gold, but I miss the monetary system in the games, it helps immersion.
How is it that a Qunari can just walk around in Tevinter?
TAKE THEIR TEETH OUT SIR HELL YEAH
... Matthew Mercer is the VA for Fairbanks. Accent is still weirding me out (I thought he had a similar accent to Zevran, who sounds like portuguese to me, so Im quite attached lol)
I think for more emotional scenes to work we need to care a bit more about the characters, but I'm getting there.
So far, not my favorite opening ep, but cool! Im watching the second one later

VICTON when you make a collab
Summary: VICTON members reaction to writing a song / making a choreography with their s/o. (REQUEST)
Warning: None?? Correct me if I'm wrong
A/N: Took me longer than expected but I didn't want to come to you with the same scenario 7 times lol
Also... Feel like I made Seungsik too bitchy for a moment but it just turn out like that... Sorry all my Seungsik biased fellas
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Seungwoo
You visit him at the studio very often, so it feels like an eternity until the moment it finally cross your mind to write a song together. For a while you both felt a little bit shy, you were nervous of making a song that may not be good enough for his comeback, and he feelt you were good enough to write the song without him and didn't need of his part on it, but once you got the first verse, everything start going naturally. You didn't even noticed the time passing, both were so lost in the deep of your composing, he gasped after look at his phone and realised it was past 4:00 a.m. "Damn, you should be sleeping by now" No questions, he start picking up things, ready to take you home so you could rest a little before continue with your exhausting schedule later that day. Stopped you at the door and hold your hand, you almost feel ashamed under his glare full of love. "This was amazing. Thank you."
Tumblr media
Seungsik
Talk about it for months before you finally accept to make a collab, he was so excited by it that you never thought he would get so bossy over you and his members once you were at the studio. After seeing him scolding Chan countless times for not getting the note right, you call him over. "What's wrong with you today?" He fight himself and groan stressed out. "I just want it all to be perfect... for you" You tild your head not sure to understand what he said. "But it's already going flawless, love. Don't be so hard on us we're..." He cut you off holding your face to force you focus on him. "This song, jagi, it's all for you. About you, about your light and strength... It can't go wrong." You smiled briefly and then laugh out loud "Stop stressing us out, then. We work better under a peaceful environment". He accepted to change his leader manners and turn the studio into another home for everyone, that's how you make him feel, so sure that's what he wants the song to express.
Tumblr media
Chan
He was dealing with the coreograpy for days so naturally you offered yourself to help him put it through. It was all fun and games until you realised he was accepting every single one of your ideas "Impossible everything I sugested was a great addition" You joked and he smiled shy "Why not? You're very talented" Still had to fight him for a while before accepting there was a few things he would prefer to keep off. Left the discussion aside you continue working on it, called the guys to come over to see the advance and make some opinions, they were amused by how fast you got in sync and how your ideas matched each other so well. The morning after the coreography was finally set, he arrived your place bringing breakfast with him "Babe, I have no idea how to thank you enough for helping me with the coreography..." He stand before walking inside your house "but maybe some waffles is a good start."
Tumblr media
Sejun
Honestly he was kind of nervous when he was called to make a collab with your band, of course, he was excited to work with you but keep thinking that it would be difficult to stay professional having you around. All your bandmates know about your relationship and obviously didn't lose the chance to make jokes about it, you didn't mind much, jokes was a regular thing when he visited the dorm, exactly the same you had to deal with at the VICTON dorm, but for him it was just one more reason to be anxious. Your company thought it would be good if the fans start getting used to the idea of both of you, so they insisted on giving you "an special moment", your voices mix together so well that seems like a completely obvious decision, you also made it to adjust a killing move in the choreography for that part of the song. When the MV was released you spot a grind of satisfaction when your part pop up, forget about the nerves, it was all worth it.
Tumblr media
Hanse
It was him who insisted in having you as a dancer in their MV, knowing damn well people will notice just another random idol dancing along, but none of you mind because after all you usually help each other so much with choreographies, so why not?. He took the chance to show off his lover to everyone on set, even if Seungsik keep coming around asking him to be more discrete, and didn't lost track of the progress of getting you ready, he has this idea of how your hair and clothes must look like and the stylist tried to make it all as close possible to his demand. Maybe you just make it to be part of the MV for a few seconds, but for him it was the best seconds of all their MV, and keep playing it in repeat until you forced him to stop.
Tumblr media
Byungchan
He was so satisfied to be part of the same drama as you that didn't care at all the fact your love interest was a different actor. At the beginning the actor was worry Byungchan could get jealous and become rude towards him, but you knew how much he trust you, so at least for you it was not surprise to have him hyping you up behind cameras even during your kiss scene. Everyday at the set was a whole adventure with him, because he was trying hard to make as much memories possible with you, he was there for you even if he wasn't part of the scene, so he spend most of the day in set, and you were a little bit worry he could be neglecting his duties as an idol, but don't worry, your man knows how to have everything under control.
Tumblr media
Subin
For months you were working in a song together, never meant to make an official release of it because you consider it more like a couple project. You tried really hard not to make it cheesy because none of you are into that kind of things, but still wanted to be so romantic you could ever play it for each other. No idea how but when your boss found out about it asked for your permission to put it forward as a drama soundtrack, and you accept it thinking there was not a real reason to keep it hide. At the beginning you were happy to hear how much the public and drama cast and crew loved it, but after a while you start thinking thesong would be more meaningful for you if it would have stay unreleased, you casually mention it to Subin and he sighed in relief, he agreed with you, and were already craving to work again together, but this time to keep it all for yourselves.

i love the witcher show! it's my favorite canon by far. what's your guys' favorite thing about the show?
Since you asked for "you guys", I asked the server.
@childoffantasy: the choreography, Henry Cavill's face.
@jlyarts: Jaskier's eyes and his costumes.
@major-trouble: the lute, Jaskier's outfits. Every single one of Jaskier's stupid facial expressions.
@caspertheassholeghost: the fact that the camera zooms on on Cavill's ass, the fight choreography, particularly with Renfri.
@jayofolympus: I fucking love the black eyes potion look. I have a Thing for the "creepy physical effects caused by magic/potions/whatever". Gimme more creepy black veins and fucked up looks. The fight scene between Geralt and Renfri was so cool too.
@rawrkinjd: Yeah, I really loved the Hexer.
@roseskye13: The expression on Cavill's face when he's talking to the peasants about the Striga when he first arrives, before he knows what it is or that it already killed a witcher. "What happens if you can't kill it my" "Then I die."
@sometimesiwrite: Honestly, the fight coreography and execution is stunning, as is the filming for those scenes. The flow, form, and timing are all so tight, and that kind of thing only works when all the cogs are meshing from everyone's hard work. Springing off of that, I get a really strong Ensemble vibe from the cast. Even though the episodes are, for the first season, little one-offs, there's a really strong sense of healthy cohesion--not just actors all doing their darnedest, but actors who are bonding, trusting, and having fun with each other in the process. It makes me really happy to see and I hope it continues in the upcoming season.
@cylin-aka-ankamo: I loved Moussack/Ermion and I like show Yennefer better than game Yennifer. I loved the backstory they gave her. Tissaia is also great! The fight choreography is also amazing. Yeah, I think the thing I appreciate most about the show, is that it made me start in the fandom and that the fandom is really diverse and also unusual as fandoms go, cause there is quite a mix of age groups, whcih I appreciate so, so much.
@so--many-fandoms: I like how they have her (Triss) a personality/characterization that was more than “pls fuck me geralt”, it makes it easier to separate the Netflix version of her from the books/game version that does some questionable stuff in her obsession with Geralt and like. This triss is a bamf (well game Triss is too, but.). I like the way they had Geralt’s armor go from pristine condition pre-Blaviken to a bunch of rags barely holding together immediately afterwards and then gradually improving as his reputation and self-image do
@hungarianbee: phew. netflix? music and jaskier's costume are a yes. renfri and calanthe and eist and mousesack were lovely. the main thing i would say of the show that was a positive: it brought together a fandom and made it possible to meet y'all.
@eyesofshinigami: I actually also really enjoyed getting to see Yennefer's back story. It made me appreciate the things she's gone through and understand her as a character a little more. Maybe it's just me, but also one think I like is how easy it felt to blend them with other mediums in the witcher universe. Like, I love writing TWN!Jaskier with W3!Geralt, and I like that. I know that might not be true for everyone, but for me as a writer it gave me a lot of opportunity to sort of... explore different facets and avenues of the characters. The show was what got me into the Witcher in the first place, and now I've played W3 and have been trying to work through the books and I've run the tabletop, and met all you lovely folks.
@winter-fir: Well my favourite things about the show are, the way it's filmed (camera angles, settings) I really like the places they pick to film in. I like Henry Cavill as Geralt. The soundtrack works very well despite the fact that it was some modern twists. Love the fight scenes, specially the Blaviken fight the way they managed to portrait that Geralt wasn't human in the way he fights a group of men. I also love the Visenna scene, I have watch that scene so many times, the way Henry shows emotion in his eyes despite the bad contacts, gets me.
@anonymousblueberry: I adored show!Triss.
There were hundreds of posts, I'm a tired mod and lost track of the thread. But other things that came up included the music, the way the scores and overlapped, the set and locations, Yennefer's portrayal on multiple occasions and the casting of other female characters, and the costuming. And not everyone was online, so I'm sure there would have been a lot more. Hope this satiates your curiosity, Non.

While minimal-budget Nightmare on Elm Street knockoffs and small-budget fantasy films were a thing in the 1980s, Knightmare Warrior is a rare combination of the two, following a college student as she dreams of another world where she is a warrior against an ominous figure known as The Dead Knight, in ways that appear to slip into her daily life more and more.
The film is very, very clearly designed for budget consciousness. On one hand the fantasy scenes are lavish beyond the usual budget of such films, with clever use of locations and lots and lots of visual effects; puppets and clever fight coreography, with the scene depicted on the film's poster, of the leading lady fighting a gargantuan version of The Dead Knight on a cliffside.
On the other hand, the school scenes are unsettlingly minimalistic, which they try to use for a dreamlike atmosphere using the "dreams invading reality" schtick, but even then it's clear they used the bare minimum in terms of locations and sets, with any physical effects being conveyed through acting, and most of the "dreams in reality" imagery combining a fog machine and some strobe lighting with recycling props or even what is clearly B-roll from the dream sequences.
One egregious instance involving a shot of puppets that; if one has a keen eye; do not even move despite how the camera's flailing tends to make it look so. Production staff from the film have confirmed in later interviews that this is because they shot the fantasy scenes first, and did not want to pay the puppeteers to return for the later; much cheaper school-scenes.
They also clearly hired the stunt actors to just do double-duty as the main characters in a bizarre attempt at cost cutting, which does not help even despite the surprisingly above-average script. Though the leading lady is a surprisingly good actress, (which served her well in her later work with Cyborg Soul) everyone else... isn't.
Overall, if you can find the fantasy sequences on Youtube, I'd recommend watching those at the very least, as they're clearly the highlight of the film. Well, aside from that ending. With the Dead Knight stomping into a college classroom and the leading lady pulling out a sword and then... well, dangit I can't spoil it all but it sure is A Thing.
