WHY SAY NO TO MULAN (2020)
Outside of the very obvious political clusterfuck that Disney’s 2020 live action Mulan is check out this video to see another perspective of why this movie is a total disappointment and doesn’t deserve your dime at all.

Shawn Mendes x Camila Cabello - Señorita
Nothing to say the same kinda song we've come to expect from both of them. But why (in the music video) does Shawn look like an awkward bottom acting like a top, coming back to the only girl that'd not ask him, "hey man do you wanna be pegged, or maybe have your hands tied to the bed because you really don't know what to do with them?" because he's insecure about what he wants in bed... 😭😭😭

MIB: INTERNATIONAL
I. Love. This. Movie
I. Love. It
It’s a shame that I would have let the bad critical reviews get to me if i wasn’t such a wh*re for Hemsworth. The movie was entertaining, funny, had sweet moments, had a very obvious “saving the world” trope that I adore (there’s only so much you can do with it really). The special effects were good, the fight scenes were well choreographed, (I liked it better than the previous installment of MIB honestly).
And last but not the least, it solidified my love for Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth as agent H showed some kind of vulnerability that made me go protect-this-man-at-all-cost. And Tessa, my love my sweetheart, she was amazing, AMAZING. She was funny, smart, badass, sassy everything I wanted from the character and more.
I went in expecting to be disappointed, honestly and came out disappointed at the critics (but to each their own I guess).
10/10 would recommend.

Inventions (a WIP that I might never finish because of a block)
Lan Zhan woke up like he usually does, even before opening his eyes he reached out with his hand to look for the warm softly snoring lump of the reincarnated Yiling Laozu; as if to reassure himself that his lover is the first thing he’d see when he opened his eyes. He sat up with a start when he was met with nothing but miles and miles of cold empty sheets. And was promptly flung backwards when a heavy weight landed on his chest from seemingly out of nowhere.
“Lan Zhan! You’re finally awake.”
‘Finally?” Lan Zhan thought groggily, it was very rare that Wei Ying would be awake before him.
“I made something Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying basically chirped, squeezing the said man’s middle with his arms and landing his chin on his sternum. “It’s something really interesting, but I need you to help me finish it,” he continued excitedly, seemingly not noticing the state of confusion he was plunging his half asleep lover in.
A few beats of silence passed between them, Lan Zhan stared at the man above him, who was smiling at him in a way that could even put the morning sun to shame. And tried to untangle his consciousness from the webs of sleepiness and process the set of information that were so cheerfully shoved onto him.
Lan Zhan cupped Wei Ying’s cheek tracing the bruise colored eye bags softly with his thumbs. “So you were up all night,” he didn’t phrase it as a question, and frowns pointedly to make his displeasure clear.
Wei Ying chuckled and playfully clicked his tongue in response. “Don’t worry about that…c’mon Lan Zhan—” he pulled the man in sitting position, staring at his eyes to convey the seriousness of his next words, “its going to be the next most revolutionary thing in the cultivation world.”
“What did you make?” Lan Zhan asked, knowing pressing the issue was futile, and he’d surely find Wei Ying napping at odd places throughout the day like a spoiled cat, to make up on lost sleep. And if he was being honest, he was always interested in whatever Wei Ying created. Here was a man who changed the cultivation world with his mind, if Lan Wangji said he wasn’t interested in whatever that mind is able to produce now, he’d be lying.
“It’s a talisman,” Wei Ying declared holding two sheets of paper with intricate symbols in different colored inks, one of them contained a crude figure of a human body with Lan Zhan’s name written ai the center of it.
“And what does it do?” He asks after a few moments of staring at the papers, trying and failing to figure out what the combination of symbols meant. The set wasn’t something he had seen before and he was a little surprised at the lack of anything indicating either banishing or summoning evil.
“It helps send messages from one cultivator to another, it can be used when groups need to split up—” Wei Ying explained wildly flailing his arms, smiling when he noticed Lan Zhan perk up at his explanation. “So we stick it somewhere it could pick up our voices as we speak and somewhere where it’s easy to hear the responses,” he demonstrates by sticking the piece with Lan Zhan’s name behind his neck and covering it with his hair.
“And what do you need me to do?” Lan Zhan asks with the muted glow of enthusiasm only he could manage, examining the talisman in his hand, vaguely wondering why the one he had didn’t have any names written on it.
“Walk around cloud recess— umm just to get a feel of what kind of ground it can cover. Uh… also currently it is attuned to us so others in the vicinity should not be able to hear the sounds from the talisman, but confirming that would be nice. Just go about your day and keep me updated through this,” Wei Ying finished by tapping on his talisman, it lit up red for a moment before going still.
Lan Zhan startled when a little spark of spiritual energy that tickled into his arms for the piece he was holding. His heart did a little flip at the sensation as did whenever it was reminded of the knowledge of the fact that his lover’s golden core was healthy and thriving. His face softened, letting Wei Ying know that he was proud and happy about the entire ordeal. “Even if it does not work for a long distance it is still going to be a very useful tool for cultivation,” he observed, still trying to decipher the symbols. Wei Ying probably worked on this for days and probably poured over countless of texts, no way Lan Wangji was going to figure it out so easily. Also, he lacked his lovers knack for being imaginative beyond common intelligence and limitations.
“Thanks Lan Zhan you’re the best,” Wei Ying declared in an almost sing song voice, beaming at the man sweetly as Lan Zhan got off the bed to start getting ready for his day.
As he was robing himself up he stole glances at Wei Ying, who was following him with his eyes smiling ear to ear, painting the very picture of innocence that Lan Zhan knew spelled trouble. “I’m going to meditate before breakfast, you should sleep for a while and then we can work on this thing,” he said, fixing Wei Ying with a glare when he opened his mouth to protest. He bent down to press a kiss on his forehead like he does everyday before heading out, but mostly Wei Ying is asleep when he does.
Lan Zhan is startled when he is pulled for a chaste kiss on the lips and Wei Ying softly muttered against it, “be good today my love.” And his heart melted the way it usually did when he heard Wei Ying address him as his ‘love’. He gave a curt nod and walked out, hoping Wei Ying would actually try and sleep.
Weirdly a strange sense of dread followed him.

The Grace of motherhood (TUA)
I wanted to do a character deep dive of my new favourite robot Mother
Grace Hargreeves, i just love that a small character like this got so much detail and crafting put into them when it was not necessarily needed.
were to start, lets start with how she looks,
the style of her look and how the change in her wardrobe showed her development. I will be looking at this in the timeline of the show not necessarily ep by ep.
The style and what it says about her.
very 1950′s no surprise but lets look at it deeper, when grace is created (by Hargreeves) she is shown wearing (i can’t find a pic of it anywhere) in the opening of  1x09 ‘Changes’
in something not dissimilar to this
Tumblr media
the look is a long skit (dark brown) and a shirt with long sleeves (white with dark striped) and hair up in a very tight bun, like so
Tumblr media
now theses are NOT graces clothes this is the uniform that the other nanny’s where wearing as well. so this means grace did not chose to look like this, also in this scene we see her look over to Hargreeves and Pogo for approval she smile’s at a job well done and they nod to her. (i will come back to this)
so when Grace is first introduced (shows timeline not ep order) 
she is Hargreeves perfect uniform robot nanny that dose what she’s told with a smile.
the next time we see her in ‘I heard a rumour ’ (again show’s timeline) she’s wearing this
Tumblr media
this Scene is also when Vanya is getting Rumoured, so Grace gives Vanya her Favourite food (grilled cheese) and her “medicine”.
in this short moment and change of wardrobe we can concluded that
1-  she now cares about what the kids want to a point , because there is no way Hargreeves told her to bring Vanya’s Favourite food, (even if he did tell her to bring food) 
2- she was more control over her self with being able to pick her own clothes, they have colour (not a lot or bright but more than before) and her hair is a little lower but still heavy made up. 
3- the kids (Vanya specially) trust her enough to take something from her and believe her without questions or a fight (Vanya takes her medicine quietly, because Vanya can still toss Grace out the room at this point)  
so grace is gaining a little more self identity but still very much live under Hargreeves thumb, because she dose not question or bring up what she was told to do and is still doing what she dose for Hargreeves and what he wants (get rid of Vanya’s powers)
Now here’s where it gets interesting her next bunch of appearances go roughly in this order, (I am guessing the order but from what I’ve talked about the first two do seem to line up this way, but the last two are certain and canon)
Tumblr media
This dress is a step away from what we’ve see up until this point, it’s still a darker colour (silver,even if glittery) like a metallic and the ribbons and other fetchers are very streamline, makes it look almost robotic (see what i did there)  she is also wearing shorter selves and a wider skirt the look she favours  
so this looks like her first step towards what she wants to look like, also note that 
1-she also talking to Vanya directly this time, Hargreeves is not even in the room, so she doesn’t have to say anything to Vanya if she didn’t want to
2-Vanya went to Grace’s ‘room’ or area to show her the violin
3- Grace encourages her ‘that wonderful Vanya’ or something to that effect 
4- and the line that kills me every time i hear it “i’m going to be extraordinary” is Vanya speaking to Grace 
(BTW this is a part of a wonderful gif set by  tuagifs link on gif)
Tumblr media
Classic grace or most common outfit she has,
the look itself is light and colourful but still has black spots (apt metaphor if ever i’d seen one) now I’m sure this one comes second here because this is when grace starts to have more, awareness of Hargreeves BS towards the children and her feeling about it 
1- “the kids wanted to say good night” she is now going out of her way to do what the kids want even if it means interrupting Hargreeves
2- she dose not know how to handle his response or lack there of, 
3- leaves with the kids as apposed to staying with Hargreeves and she dose not turn back to him when she leaves
this is were the shift starts in Grace’s personality, she is no longer looking for Hargreeves approval and has shifted her focus to the kids  
Tumblr media
The day five goes missing, this how see looks when he runs out the door (damn,buffering much)
she say nothing in this scene, but if we are looking just at the outfit here, it’s the most bright and colourful in the show and she wears it later. so i will talk more about them, note that the hair is still in the middle length and made up to perfection and she is behind Hargreaves (a few feet at that).    
Tumblr media
Grace doing her rounds, here is when she is fully there mother, putting out fires everywhere for her kids (literal in Klaus case). her clothes are more simple but not as conforming as they once were, so they are for mobility and movement and not a uniform (ironic since the kids are putting on there’s)
now she is with her kids 100% here and the scene ends with her being proud of Diego and Hargreeves walking in unapproving, we did not see the conversation  that follows but we do see adult Diego’s reaction to it,
mournful maybe, but he did say she was treated worst then anyone, so this may have been an off screen example of that. who knows?
ok time skip to the present
I will skip the Luther surgery, for the sake of time, and lack of pic, but i will note that this is when grace official didn’t have any of her children with her anymore.
at the funeral  
Tumblr media
not much to say about this one, sorry.
but i will say that, when she is looking at the painting this dress is similar colour to the one in the painting, since Grace is projecting herself onto this painting in that ‘she’s lonely’ also now that Hargreeves is gone and he took her mind with him, she is at her darkest.
also note that 
1-Hargreeves messed with her mind he didn’t just get Pogo to turn her on then off again 
2-Hargreeves set her up to take the blame for his death, thus being the murder mystery to get them all working together Pogo was talking about.
3- that was when Hargreeves saw Grace as reaching her usefulness, the kids where grown, he was going to kill himself and Pogo never needed her. so the only thing left for her was to reunite the kids to save the world, by making her his murderer 
We go back to classic look Grace until after her death 
after she’s is back, in 1x06 ‘the day that wasn’t’
she is moving around and back in classic Grace clothes but this time she has her hair down and she is moving freely, Diego talks to her about what she remembers and  Pogo appears out of a bookcase to instruct her not to say anything, now what dose Grace do she  takes Diego out of the grounds to tell Diego the truth,
this was it 
true independence her first real act of which we saw anyway. Hargreeves is dead and Mama’s going to do what ever the fuck she want’s
now this didn’t happen in the main plot line but this independence remained not in obvious way but still there.
this is show though her hair being down and her clothes being lighter and her make up being lighter neural colouring as well 
compare the pair
before 
Tumblr media
after 
Tumblr media
1- same outfit, years apart
2-  what she doing is the same serving food who she is with is different
3-  why she’s there is different to she is doing what Hargreeves told her to do vs getting Diego food because she wants to cheer him up
4- she is close to Diego puts her hand on his shoulder vs being a few steps away from Hargreeves 
this right here in two frames you can see a whole characters transformation form one mans automaton to a loving mother,done without even a complete change of wardrobe 
damn.
and that’s one aspect of Grace 
we also know she 
1- named the kid’s
2-she took care of all there injuries(so she was most likely the one who wired Klaus mouth shut)
3- did not even try to stop Diego from turning her off in fact she was encouraging him with is specking, mush mind or not that was her priority 
4- put smiley faces on her food, Hargreeves would not have told her to do this
Now this all leads me to my final point about Grace and honestly what i find the most interesting about her. Her whole housewife identity, more specificity when it comes to motherhood. what do i mean, 
we have all hear this narrative before of a women trapped in a marriage with a man she doesn’t love, stuck in a house to do nothing but cook, clean and care for the kids.
this story is one that has been explored in shows like Mad Men (i have not seen a lot of mad men just a disclaimer)
Betty Draper for example
Tumblr media
these character’s usually look at how the superficial can shape and destroy a life. and how in order to find anything real you have to broaden your horizon’s by going out into the world and opening your mind and therefor being more than a mother and a housewife, and you’ll be free of your superficial life. (and yes i know it dose not go this way for Betty but this was the overall idea of the arc)
this is a strong narrative don’t get me wrong and it should be shown
but what i find interesting but Grace is that, yes she is basically trapped in just about every single way but her freedom dose not come from the outside world rather it comes form her.
she becomes a mother.
that’s where her freedom comes form.
every step she makes towards person-hood is form her decision to be a mother. she care’s for these children because that’s what she was made to do and she owns that, to the point that as i have already said she turns against her creators wishes in ‘the day that wasn’t’.
she gets her strength for being a mother it’s her identity and she love’s it because she is no longer a thing, a robot or vacuum cleaner you can throw in a closet 
she’s someone’s mother.
but when her kid’s are gone she dose get lonely she said so herself in so many words (about painting)
but she’s there for them and they love her and that’s the one thing that Hargreeves never expected, when he set up his little plan to get them back together and take Grace down as his murderer. he never thought for a moment that the Kid’s would try and protect Grace (see my post about Diego’s Day) and that lead to his plan failing (also he’s an ass-hole)
so by embracing motherhood Grace able to turn her prison into her freedom and her programming into her life and she did it all without taking a step outside.
so when Grace answer Diego’s question of why she did what she did all theses years with
“because being your mother is the greatest gift of my life”
she meant it, boy oh boy did she mean it

I always felt like something wasn't right with the entire case (I actually assumed/understood/deduced/thought they were mutually abusive and toxic to each other), I was always a little peeved by how much the tumblr community attacked him but never said anything because I thought it'd be siding with an abuser since everyone was so convinced about that. Idk how to even begin to approach this now. But I really hope Depp finds his strength, I'm sure difficult times are ending for him. Although I've never been religious, I'll be praying to whomever is listening. Please don't let anything like that happen to a victim ever again...

Darry fanfiction:
Title: Love?
Rating: Teen and up audience.
Summary:
(Harry leans towards him undoubtedly getting ready for another question —
“ So are you single?”
Draco would have slipped to the floor if he wasn’t already sitting down, because nothing in Harry’s expression conveyed the he was joking. Draco had naturally assumed that— well he wasn’t certain what he’d assumed but it wasn’t this.
“Harry wha—”)
Or
Harry gets injured and forgets he's married, shameless flirting, and fluff ensues.

Okay so I literally forgot how massive and powerful the haikyuu fandom was???? And the ships and fan content in on another level...
Like we have the most number of fanfictions written in the anime section of ao3 and we're sitting there (on top) comfortably for a few years.
We have literally millions of ships and no matter how rare your ship is the fandom has something to offer (there's literally kuroo x obama fanfics y'all need to chill).
Ship wars?? Never heard of her...
Since it's not a very mainstream fandom (like bnha, one piece, naruto etc.) there's a fortunate lack of dudebros who go around commenting on every ship post saying — "stop making everything gayyyyy uwu".
Everyone treating the boys like they're their actual children (each and every one is our babies)
Everyone has rewatched it like a thousand times there's no exceptions...
All it took was the 4th season announcement and y'all are back...I've really missed this fandom. Like really missed it...

I just simply can't wait... Oh God... I'm not sure where I'll be in 2020 but you I'll sure as hell would be watching this... 😭😭😭
Tumblr media
New season of Haikyuu!! confirmed during an event at JUMP Festa today. The event to kick-off the new season (aka announcement of airing date and other details, etc.) will be held on 22 Sept 2019, with the seiyuu of Hinata, Kageyama, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi and Kozume attending. (This highly suggests that Haikyuu!! S4 will air sometime in 2020 after Production IG is done with KazeTsuyo and after all the other JUMP anime that are being hyped atm have aired earlier in 2019.)

Thought I’d end up with Cho
But she wasn’t a match
Wrote some songs about Viktor
Now I listen and laugh
Even almost got married
And for Ginny, I’m so thankful
Wish I could say, “Thank you” to Cedric
Cause he was an angel
One taught me love
One taught me patience
And one taught me pain
Now I’m so amazing
~
Spend more time with my friends
I ain’t worried ‘bout nothin’
Plus, I met someone else
We havin’ better discussions
I know they say I move on too fast
But this one gon’ last
��Cause his name is Draco
And I’m so good with that (so good with that)
He taught me love (love)
He taught me patience (patience)
How he handles pain (pain)
That shit’s amazing (yeah, he’s amazing)
I’ve loved and I’ve lost (yeah, yeah)
But that’s not what I see (yeah, yeah)
‘Cause look what I’ve found (yeah, yeah)
Ain’t no need for searching, and for that, I say
Thank you, next (next)
