[davidtennantgenderenvy]

Just had the most psychotically evil realization right as I was about to fall asleep

[m1ss1ngt3xtur3]

oh.hhhh my fuck new pvp civilization dropped. im. sbuddgsjxnsvksl

thoughts under the cut

"im probably team evbo on this one" HESS LOYAL!!!!! HE CARES oh my fucking GOD hes CARES abt evbo!!!!! fake ass idgafer i SAW you caring!!! i SAW you choose to help EVBO at no discernible benefit to yourself!! guardbo is so perfect the make me SICK oh my goddd,,, guardbo gang eating GOOD this season <333

our boy actually got through to seawatt! you love to see it

hes trying to get ray on the journals thats,, actually adorable,,,, hhe just wabts to share his special interest with is bf omggg,,,,

"im sure well get a guard update soon" ok this is definitely foreshadowing. looking forward to whatever shakes out there!

"is there a pvp marketplace around here" evbo honey i know you love shopping but can you PLEASE take this shit seriously

"that just sounds like you have a severe shopping addiction" get his ass seawwtt <33

"he said something like he hoped my bow would break and id die" ily seawatt never stop hating<333. also very funny to me how evbo just Does Not Acknowledge that

"do they want to wipe us out because our pvp marketplaces are so much better??" AKHSVWJDO NEVER CHANGE EVBO <333

also funny: seavbo seems to be getting the same "enemies to grudging coworkers" arc as guardbo. time will tell if they also get the same "totally-not-friends to lovers" thing

"i honestly would do anything for one more time where its just tabi and i against the world" HEY WHAT IF I CRIED.

GUARDBO IS SO REAL like. evbo talking abt how he wishes it was just him and his crush against the world (immediately after) "its just me and [the guard] against the world" WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS

EVBO WHYYYY ARE YOU SO DUMB <3333 /VPOS

oh seawatt seems to have become something of a leader to the remaining bows? eager to see where that goes. also implied bow found family, you love to see it <333

wemmbu my beloved they are SUCH besties omgggg

"can i finish the video jounal update" "we can overcome this with the power of... a ~*~positive mindset~*~" oh so theyre actually just the same person ok /silly

ZAM YOU CONNIV8NG LITTLE BASTARD. I HATE HIM I NEED HUM TO DIES AAAAUGHGHH /VPOS

OOUGHGHH HES SO SMUG FUCKING BIIIIIITCH <333 STILL THREATENING & MANIPULQTING EVBO AFTER EVERYTHING AUUHOUGHHHGG im normal. im normal abt this

OOOOH they ALL decide to let zam through. FASCINATING implications there. gotta rotate that in my brain for a while

"i guess im doing you a favor by getting rid of her ^u^" AUSUGSGKIQJ THIS FUCKING BITCHHH I HATE HIM

EVBO SNAPPING AT ZAM LASHING OUT AT HIS TORMENTOR BEUATIFUL INCREDIBLE IM SO NORMAL ABT THEM

"i will be the GOD of this world" SIR??? ouugh im. im normal im SO normal abt this guy. cant WAIT to see where thats going

chat how are we feeling about clownbo.

fr though clown is shaping up to be such a fascinating character?? like. so far his defining character trait seems to be concern for morality, or at the very least how one evaluates the value of lives. first telling tabi she didnt deserve to die, now interrogating evbo about his sense of ethics... it really feels like were building up to something here. hes such an interesting character already and weve barely met him?? i need to study this guy

also clown really heard tabi talk about her sword friend and decided he needed to see this guy for himself huh. to me this is shipfic material... but for which pair...

back to clownbo they have such a fun dynamic here. like clown seems absolutely fascinated by evbo... evbo is deeply intimidated and also horribly confused by clown... theyre both inexplicably concerned with good & evil despite living in fucking pvp civilization... and then clown spares him for whatever reason?? cant wait to see what thats about

there seems to be a pattern of evbo freezing up in the face of credible threats to his life - first when he went through the red gate for the first time, then when he dies in bow civ (afraid of another fight for the armor stand), and now when clown pulls out the eternal axe. idk i just think its an interesting bit of characterization

feels very significant that clown spared evbo. feels VERY significant that both clown and tabi were given the opportunity to permanently kill evbo, practically on a silver platter. and both turned it down, knowing full well he would actively work to stop them. that only one of them could survive. and yet both of them chose to let evbo live, for the moment.

obviously tabi had 90% of s1 to get attached to evbo but what the hell is clowns stake in him??? WHAT is this guys deal i need to see more of him right fucking now

also (to tabi) "you dont deserve to die yet" vs (to evbo) "now is not your time to die" i???? aaaaugh the parallels. i need to make a whole nother post abt that

AAAUGHGG TABIS VOICE SHAKIGN WHEN SHE PRESUMES EVBO IS DEAD FOR REAL. "so i would say you did what you had to do" ITS SO,,,, SHE WANTS TO NOT CARE ABOUT HIM SO BAD I,, AAAUUAAUGAHGDMDHKWJSHGE

also "what would you say if i said yes" theres GOTTA be something going on here. clown pierce what the genuine absolute FUCK is your deal bro

"the eternal trident is all that matters now" OOOUUHGHUOOGGHHHG EVBO MATTERS TO HER,,, IM,, AAAUUGHDHKSNEJSKGDOSKWN

aauaugh evbos dynamics with everyone are SO good i am THRIVING over here

chat what if i wrote the end of the episode from clowns perspective. i definitely wont but is that something yall would like to see

She was going to let it go and he repays her by dehumanizing her and retraumatizing her for two fucking years. that’s next level of sociopathy and fuckery god as much as I’m happy for Megan knowing that this ordeal is over (at least legally but not psychologically and mentally because traumas don’t go away even after the storm is over) at the same time I’m personally and permanently outraged!  how does he sleep at night knowing that he caused her trauma and then compounded it by making her look like the bad guy when all he had to do was shut up , take accountability or better yet not shot her in the first cotdamn place?!? Hey fans of his I hope the meatsucking was worth it because of you guys being such sluts for a woman abuser gassing him up making him think he such a star when he’s c average at best he’s going to be flipped into multiple positions in the prison showers even though he’s worthy to ride the lightning (electric chair) than thirteen to 22 years of prison time and that’s coming from a anti death penalty/calling for reform or abolishment of prisons and police and anti violence kind of gal

I hope that bastard suffers Ungrateful Canadian son of a biiiiiitch!

EXACTLY! he brought this on himself 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 SHE TRIED TO PROTECT HIS LEPRECHAUN ASS! HE SHOULD HAVE JUST SAT THERE AND ATE HIS DAMN FOOD!

[hellboys]

real random hot(?) take moment. i want a texas chainsaw remake/sequel directed by rob zombie i trust him i know he'd do it right he'd do it exactly how i want to see it me thinks. the firefly trilogy (esp ho1000c) is already so similar to the first chainsaw in plot/characters (bunch of kids go on a trip. stop at sketchy gas station. actual story is kickstarted when they pick up a hitchhiker. end up having dinner w a weird family. tiny's the youngest(??) one even though he's real big but doesn't speak and wears a mask. gas station guy is actually involved w the weird family. the two bastard coppers from the sequels are basically the same characters. they both straight up have bill moseley just sitting there. etc etc) and so similar to the second one in aesthetic (the colors!!! the setting!!!! the firefly house reminds me so much of the sawyers little theme-park-turned-home) (also the tone of the first two chainsaws and the first two fireflies are switched; like the first chainsaw mostly takes place during the day and it just looks dry and hot except the final half happening at night and so does the second firefly, while the first firefly is mostly set in the dark of night but it's so much more colorful, just like the second chainsaw) and what matters the most to me is, rob zombie's (controversial) attempt is always to make the fireflies if not sympathetic at least likeable, somewhat lighthearted funnyguys even if they're terrible people which is something that i feel that a lot of chainsaw sequels lose sight of ya know?? they almost make leatherface specifically all scary and evil when he was just supposed to be. a little guy. poor little meow meow even. most sequels lose the way that bubba was just genuinely endearing but i think rob zombie would get it RIGHT ya know. his hellbilly vibes would fit texas chainsaw soooo well and i'm forever salty he ended up making two halloweens instead of a chainsaw. that's all 💅

biiiiiitch.

BIIIIIIIIITCH. .

i need a fucking moment bc this take is HOT AF. it wasnt until this very moment that i thought of a FUCKING ROB ZOMBIE TEXAS CHAINSAW MOVIE??? everything abt this feels right, its right in my soul and it's right in my heart. you know mfing rob zombie would just get this assignment. he would understand every fiber of leatherface's character. he would truly KNOW what he was doing with that film. god this is gonna haunt me forever

i need it now. i need it baaaad dude.

[harryfeatgaga]

harry watching you dance with your friends at a party and he gets so horny and he texts you and is like “We have to leave.” and you get kinda irritated and tell your friends bye and then when you guys get home he’s like “i’ve been wanting you all night” and you roll your eyes and go “you’re such a horny bastard” and he smirks and goes “well can you help this horny bastard out” and points to his bulge... ok bye

[artisalie]

I would not be true to myself if I didn’t make a post talking about the 3J performance from BTS’s Home Party. So here we go.

First, let me say that I desperately need a full fancam/bangtan bomb of this performance since the vlive version has a lot of awkward cuts and framing that makes it difficult to see a lot of the more intricate moves. Don’t get me wrong, this is already a mind blowing performance, but the bomb version will be even better. I saw something about CH+ getting individual fancams? If that happens let me know. I honestly might become a CH+ subscriber just for that because honestly, this performance. My god.

Let’s start with Kookie’s choice, Scott Forsyth’s Coco Pt. 2 choreo. Of course Kookie would choose something as meme-tastic as this choreo. Scott has a great sense of humor - see this amazing Love Connection themed piece by Brotherhood, Scott’s crew - and the big, sharp moves really suit Kookie’s strengths as a dancer. I think this section suffers the most from the bad camera work - Hoseok’s is the runner-up in that category - because there’s a lot of quick transitions between upper and lower body movement that is just totally lost in the vlive version. Anyway, of course Kook would choose a silly, swaggy, meme-filled dance for Home Party and they all kill it.

BIIIIIITCH.

THIS NEEDS SAYING UP FRONT: THAT RUDE ASS DOLPHIN DIVE IS NOWHERE IN THE ORIGINAL CHOREOGRAPHY. AT SOME POINT THESE THREE MOTHERFUCKERS THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO CHANGE THOSE COUNTS AND JUST TAKE IT DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO MURDER US ALL. HAVE THEY BEEN SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME WITH YUGYEOM?? DID THEY THINK THE THIGH CARESSING THAT IS IN THE ACTUAL CHOREO WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ENOUGH?? DID THEY JUST ALL FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT MOVE FROM THE BS&T CHOREO??

I NEED ANSWERS. 

No. No, I don’t. I’d die. Okay, that just needed clarifying before we could move on. We know Jimin and JK love some Puspos choreography and that Jimin in particular likes some bedroom jams so this choice of choreo isn’t that surprising. Like a lot of Brian’s choreo, it’s both super smooth and rude at the same time, which we know perfectly suits Jimin’s dance style. He’s a very fluid dancer, moving from one move to the next until there’s a sharp hit, which just further emphasizes that sharp stop.

Jimin shines here but like, yo. J-Hope with the hip thrust on his knees after coming out of the dolphin dive is intense. Boy. Also I need to shoutout the body rolls at 2:13 because Jimin and J-Hope are body rolling for the gods. Kook does a good job too, but the way he’s angled his hips versus his shoulders lessens their impact a little whereas with Jimin and J-Hope, you can just watch that roll follow their entire bodyline. Sweet jesus. Hoseok in particular pops his chest out to make that roll as visible as possible. His isolations are fucking everything.

I’m already dead and I’m only just getting to Hoseok.

I need everyone reading this post to understand that this choreography choice is a personal attack on me and everything I love and hold dear!!! Hoseok performing Chris Martin’s choreo is a literal dream come true. Chris is such an emotive dancer and choreographer and I have adored him for years. Look at this fucking solo. It’s like he pulls his heart out of his chest, it’s so good. He just oozes joy when he dances and Hoseok both has the skills and the pure inner light to make that kind of choreo shine. Don’t think I haven’t thought about Hobi performing this Robot Love choreo or dance line performing this All That Matters piece. Could you even imagine if this piece to Kendrick & Rihanna’s Loyalty had come out in time for them to learn it?? FUCK.

Once again, this choreo is pretty intricate and a lot gets lost in the recording. They hit a beat in mid-air and the camera completely cuts it off!! I’M SO MAD.

I’m honestly surprised Hoseok didn’t choose Chris’s Sunday Candy choreo (the second half of the video) because he loves Chance but maybe it just didn’t have enough housing in it. Housing, by the way, is the rhythmic, bouncing footwork they do towards the end of the piece. It’s a sub-genre of hip-hop dance. I guess I should have seen this coming, because Carlo Darang worked on the BS&T choreo with Keone Madrid, so really we were only one step removed from Hoseok performing Chris Martin choreo. Did you know that Keone, Carlo and Chris were all in a crew together - along with Keone’s wife Mari - and that they’re amazing?? Choreo Cookies came to slay and make you cry.

BUT I WASN’T READY. MY ASS WAS NOT R E A D Y.

In conclusion: Dance line can fucking dance, THEY ARE RUDE BASTARDS, I want them to share their list of favorite choreographers and pieces, and you can all play this at my funeral because I’m already dead.

Gone...

Royai Week day 3

Prompt: catalyst.

Note:  Okay, so, this one was really hard to find something to work with, and thus far, the one I’m least proud of. I wanted to keep it canon for this one, since I really haven't thus far this week. The basic point is, this is the catalyst for all of Riza and Roy's self-sacrificing behavior and blind rage when it comes to protecting or avenging the other. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it was the best I had.

Gone…

With the flick of a wrist, the twist of a blade, he was taken from her just like that. Without mercy, without a friend, without her getting to say goodbye. Roy Mustang was dead, and it was her fault. Riza stared ahead of her, her breath shallow and fast, her heart hammering against her chest, with shaking hands holding her pistol, to the woman quickly advancing on them. The colonel was dead at the hands of this creature, this monster, and Riza was willing to bet that was his blood on her dress. She had to die. “It can’t be! You didn’t!” The woman called Lust did nothing but smile gleefully back at her, and Riza had her answer. “YOU BIIIIIITCH!”

 With white hot hatred and nothing holding her back, Riza Hawkeye stood her ground, and began to fire mercilessly, suicidal rage filling every inch of her being. Roy’s eyes, brown and kind, flashed through her mind as another shot fired off. A scream ripped its way out of her throat, reminding her again that there would be no goodbye for them, no more knowing glances, no more private moments. Nothing except a funeral.

 What would she do now that he was gone? She couldn’t return home, she had no one else to look out for, she had nothing left to live for. Roy’s smile, so soft when it was just the two of them, so open and relaxed, filled her thoughts and made her hands shake even more. Another shot, another memory, another scream. His voice, always such a comfort to her when she was in need of a friend. The way he spoke to Elizabeth, how open and flirtatious he was with her… moments they would never have again. Two more shots, and the woman still kept coming. His hands, so quick to act, so sure, even in Ishval, with both a gun and his alchemy...

 The first magazine emptied, and Riza threw the pistol to the ground and pulled out another, shot after shot making itself home in the creature’s body.

 He’d insisted that he didn’t need her help. He assured her things would be fine with himself and Havoc. He promised her things would be okay. I was supposed to protect him. Riza said to herself. I was supposed to make sure nothing happened to him until he became Fuhrer… Her vision blurred as tears filled her eyes, and she fired her last bullet from the magazine, quickly followed by another, and kept going until there was nothing left in her arsenal.

 The colonel - her colonel - was gone, and it was her fault. Riza felt her legs begin to shake as the last gun fell from her hands, and fell to the ground, completely defeated.

 Colonel, I’m so sorry. Riza’s hand curled into a fist on the ground in front of her, sobs racking her body as Lust taunted her, though she couldn’t bring herself to care anymore. Roy was gone, and that was all that mattered. She swore she’d always protect him, to watch his back and keep him safe, and she failed. She failed him.

 “Stand up, Lieutenant.” Alphonse said, standing between herself and Lust. “You need to get out of here.”

 What was the point? She was useless with Roy gone, but if nothing else, she might be able to buy Al some time to escape. If only she could keep Lust busy for a few minutes… “Listen, Alphonse, leave me and save yourself.” She replied.

 “No!”

 “Go!”

 “I won't leave you! I'm sick of watching people die! And I can't just sit back and take it anymore! I won't let anyone else get killed! Not when I can protect them!” The young boy said.

 “Well spoken! I couldn’t agree more!”

 That voice… She’d know that voice anywhere. But how could that be? Before she could react, Alphonse had summoned a wall between them, Lust, and Mustang, blocking them from view. The only thing she could do was listen to the screaming, and wait.

 When the smoke cleared, and everything fell into silence, Riza got to her feet. Roy collapsed to the ground, and the lieutenant made her way to him, dropping down beside him with a smile on her face. He was alive! He was okay, and she wanted nothing more than to kiss the bastard full on the mouth. Roy turned his head towards her, and the heaviness in her soul gave one last squeeze before releasing entirely. “Colonel!” She said, completely breathless.

 “Are you alright?”

 “Never mind about me, we need to get you some help!”

 The Colonel shut his eyes, and a small, pained chuckle escaped his lips. “You’re too damn stubborn for your own good, Lieutenant. You just worry about wiping those tears away. We can’t afford me being useless right now.”

 Hands still shaking, Riza reached up, surprised to discover she was still crying. She quickly wiped her eyes, trying to calm herself down before she went into hysterics again. There would be time for that later, but right now, she had to focus on the colonel.

 It became clear to Roy how far she would go for him, and the risks she would take in the event of his demise. He would have been lying if he said that it didn’t worry him a little. His eyes met Riza’s again, and his heart constricted painfully in his chest. He’d almost lost her today because of a lie, a lie he couldn’t believe she’d bought so easily, and he wondered what she would do if something really would go wrong.

 What was he supposed to do if something happened to her because of him? Was he supposed to sit back and watch her die because of another lie, or because of her recklessness in order to keep him safe? He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his queen to something so stupid. His only hope was that he wouldn’t have to worry about anything like this happening again anytime soon.

I promise you, Lieutenant, Roy thought to himself, no matter what, I will always do my best to keep you safe.
