[emocheol]

night out

how your boyfriend shows his love for you when he’s under the influence

contains: alcohol consumption, gn!reader, sweet lovely tooth rottingly sweet seungcheol

whenever seungcheol wanted to go drinking you almost always accompanied him.

he was a clingy and affectionate drunk, so even if you weren’t with him you’d still feel his affection from the 20 calls and 50 text messages that he’d send you.

today, he needed to celebrate an achievement with a few friends and, of course, you accompanied them.

the night was winding down and you could tell seungcheol was way out of his tipsy range and much further into his nearly incapacitated range.

he had his head on your shoulder while you had an arm around his shoulder, slowly rubbing his arm while you talked to his friends across the table.

you noticed him fumbling for his phone and you looked down at him quizzically.

“what’re you doing, cheol?” you asked gently, while he pulled up his text messages.

“i need to text my partner…” he mumbled, “need to tell them how much i love them…” he said quietly, tapping on his keyboard and sending nearly incoherent texts to you.

you just played along with it for the time being, knowing that sooner or later he’d realize you weren’t responding and that you’re right there.

[cheolie] 2:02am: kiss yu so much

2:02am: babyyyyyy i lovd u

2:02am: you aee rhe lifht of my life

2:03am: why ru not repsodning to me?????

2:04am: are uu mad at me :((((

your phone consistently buzzed with notifications and you couldn’t help but smile at the texts that came from your boyfriend.

“guys… i think y/n is mad at me,” seungcheol finally said, slowly but surely sitting up and bringing his head off your shoulder.

your friends from across the table just looked between the two of you and laughed.

“what makes you think that?” you asked curiously, putting a hand on his thigh.

seungcheol just gasped at your contact on him and quickly pushed himself the furthest he could get away from you. “what are you doing! i have a partner! only they get to touch me!” he nearly shouted, pressing himself against the wall as if he could materialize into it.

once again, you all laughed at his antics. he, on the other hand, seemed utterly disgusted at the thought of someone who wasn’t you being near him. he squeezed his eyes shut and refused to look at you.

“cheol, baby, look at me,” you cooed gently, scooting over to him and trying to get him to face you.

“no! only my partner gets to call me that! can’t look at anyone else, don’t want to.” he said firmly, turning his chin up like an upset toddler.

when you realized this was going to take a little longer than usual you looked over at your friends with a smile and motioned that they could leave. “don’t worry we’ll pay,” you reminded them, knowing that seungcheol always wanted to be the one to pay anyways.

after they left it was just you and seungcheol at the table, him still refusing to look at you.

you decided to use your only option and pulled out your phone to text him.

[you] 2:17am: i’m not mad baby

2:17am: can you please look at the person sitting next to you?

when his phone buzzed with your notification he gasped and quickly pulled it out to check, a frown on his face when he read your last message.

[cheolie] 2:17am: but it’s not u :(

2:17am: only wanna look at you

his texts made your heart warm, but you still had a mission to accomplish.

[you] 2:17am: just look baby i promise it’ll be okay

at your coaxing message he finally put his phone down and slowly looked over at you. the gears were shifting in his head as he took in your face, slowly recognizing you.

“y/n!” he exclaimed, finally leaving his place against the wall and scooting right up against you, throwing his arms around your waist and nuzzling into your neck. “i didn’t know you were here! someone was trying to touch me and i told them no! i only have eyes for you.” he said sweetly, looking up at you with big glassy eyes and a sweet pout, waiting for your praise.

you just laughed at his antics and brought a hand to his hair to smooth it down. “i’m glad, baby, are you ready to go home?” you asked, noticing how his eyes were already shutting as he found his comfy spot in the crook of your neck.

“‘m ready, wanna go to sleep,” he said with a yawn, an iron grip around your waist as his voice got slower, signifying that he was close to sleep.

“let’s go then,” you said, tapping his shoulder as to make him get up, but he wouldn’t budge, “seungcheol, you big baby, you’re going to have to walk yourself,” you teased, poking his side and trying to shove him a bit so he sat upright.

“don’t wanna,” he said stubbornly, leaning even further into you as you tried to get him up.

you sighed and shook your head, “we can’t stay here all night, don’t you want to sleep in our nice bed?” you tried to coax again, you both knew he would be much comfier at home.

“fine.” he said with a huff, knowing you got him there.

he slowly unwrapped himself from you and stood up, swaying a bit as he tried to steady himself. you, on the other hand, came up next to him and grabbed one of his arms to sling over your shoulder, hoping you could provide some type of balance to his walking.

as you exited the restaurant you quickly paid at the front with seungcheol’s card and made your way to the car, dumping him in the front seat and fastening his seatbelt for him.

before you could close the door he held up a hand and motioned for you to come closer to him. you decided to entertain him and moved closer. when you were only inches from his face he decided it was enough and looked at you with love struck eyes, surveying every inch of your face.

“can’t believe you’re mine, you’re so perfect,” he mumbled, pecking your lips quickly with a little giggle.

this made your cheeks heat up just a little bit and you shook your head. “you’re sappy when you’re drunk, huh?” you teased, leaning down and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“it’s because i loooove you,” he said honestly, anyone would be able to tell that from how he was looking at you, as if you hung the moon and the stars.

you held up your finger to have him give you a moment and you shut his door, quickly rounding the car and slipping into the drivers seat. once you had fastened your seatbelt and started the car you looked back over at him.

“i love you too,” you whispered, but he was already fast asleep.

—

bonus:

the next morning seungcheol woke up with a pounding headache and threw the covers over his head to hide from the rays of light seeping through your curtains.

“morning, sunshine,” you teased, rolling over and making yourself comfortable next to him since you’d been awake for some time.

“morning, baby, my head hurts like hell…” he groaned, voice thick with sleep.

you pointed to the nightstand nearest to him that had a glass of water and pain relievers on it.

“you’re a godsend,” he said honestly, quickly downing the pills and water before settling back into bed next to you.

“fun night?” you asked with a little laugh, not quite sure how much he remembered of anything.

“mhm…” he trailed off, playing with your hair absentmindedly, “i didn’t do anything embarrassing, right?” he asked, knowing that when he couldn’t remember the night he usually did something unusual.

“well, you forgot who i was and wouldn’t even look at me until i texted you and said it was okay.” you explained with a laugh.

seungcheol looked at you with wide eyes and buried his head into a pillow.

“i’m never drinking again.”

[bitegore]

ok this isnt meant to be a dig or anything but it's always really funny to me when people like just cracking 30 are like "omg you're in your early twenties, you're a babyyyyyy"

babe you're like barely 30, you're a baby too. You're a blink and a half older than me. I spend too much time around people over 50, the difference between 23 and 33 is a few years at a job and a little more distance from living in your parents' house but it's like, nothing. the gap closes every time you breathe and every time i move. the difference between you and me is like one-fifteenth the difference between you and my dad's friend Joe or whatever. don't worry you'll get to live more life too, but don't kid yourself.

and this is doubled when it's coming from a 25-year-old currently experiencing a crisis of age because they're soooo old, they're 25, the horror! You are twenty-five. We have an age difference of three years. Your concern over this is embarrassing for you and highly entertaining for me. But like don't kid yourself here. You are 25. You are a like a fucking baby to me.

WON THE 50/50 AT 33 PITY BABYYYYYY

[sparklehoard]

23. strange habits? 31. what outfit do you wear to kick ass and take names? 57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome? (besides hygiene issues) 93. nicknames? (I already know this one, its Stinky) 98. favorite historical era?

Strange habits? I suppose whenever I buy any clothes. I'll keep them in the packaging until I know I'm going to wear them. So I'll wash them beforehand of course but i think it's to make sure I wear that piece of clothing at least once ☝️

31. My all Jean jumpsuit babyyyyyy. I have full mobility to haul ass, to high kick and its durable enough to skid down small cliffs on my knees. I look hot as hell in it. It's sleeveless so it shows off my arms 💪💪💪

57. (HEY!!!!) Biggest struggles? God. Growing up with my family could cover 50. But that along with breaking up from a bad relationship (and THRIVING) and struggling to make enough money to enjoy life that I've just recently achieved would be my 3.

93. Nicknames. Bea's actually a nickname that got adopted. I'm also known as Bunny, Squid, Lea, Billy and my baby sister and I have called eachother beeboo since we were like 9/13 years old.

Favorite historical Era? I remember very distinctly loving the Mycenaean age of ancient Greece where a lot of statues we were studying in class were created. Lots of new inventions during that time too...if I'm remembering that correctly 🤷‍♀️

[charaznablescanontoyota]

5 and 22 for the book asks!

5. What genre did you read the most of?

horror-thriller babyyyyyy. according to my storygraph stats like 50% of what i read this year was horror, thriller, or both

22. What’s the longest book you read?

i think either my re-read of bury the survivors or my read of wrong tomorrow (its sequel)?? i don't know wrong tomorrow's exact word/page count but i have a physical copy of bury the survivors and it's the size of a brick

[sucrows]

do you ,, have any ships

aw yeah babyyyyyy

ship numero uneo campeao do mundo: Poly Eden

I will never not shut up about poly eden. I genuinely have over 50k words of fanfic written and stored away on the topic that i will one day polish enough to post. I am an EdenP at heart and that will never change.

I'm also weird about izuleo. have any of y'all read that one fantasy trilogy on ao3? the ridiculously long one that is 50% porn? i was already obsessed before then but became even more so afterwards even if i wanted to fistfight leo (and now i also have a soft spot for izunarumika)

also, rinniki good. love it lots.

morogonomic

When it rains, it floods.

One of the things I do when I combat the flu (and cortisol) is watching a good movie. Dad has been cooking more with the help of my recipes, and pre-prepared ingredients with exact measures and specific instructions because your noona has been kinda clunky recently. I have been able to slow down a bit and what better way to wind down than to watch a movie together on a stormy MNL night, right?

And so, the new interface of Netflix is fucked. LOL. I rarely watch movies lately because I need to get stuff in places I don't even know when, where, or how. CHZ. Crap on crap on crap is what Netflix is, generally speaking. LOL. Kaya mejj wala na rin ako pake. When I saw Brillante Ma Mendoza's Moro, I knew I was not going to have a "chill" viewing experience. I actually browsed again and again. I wanted something calming or something that won't make me think. However, ang gwapo ni Piolo tapos 'yung ilong niya, parang ginawa na naman. CHOZ. Mala-Pinnochio na e and super pointed. LOL.

Brillante's brilliance is one of the reasons why I love indie films. The shaky shots, the bokeh, the colors, the frame, the details. It's giving ethnographic research on super steroids, babyyyyyy! Kabogstra Viva, Seiko, and Star Cinema. EMS.

The first time I saw Serbis ages ago, sabi ko, JUSQ. Ano ba 'to? Bakit I can feel the UGH seeping into my system. Naggawa niyang mag-appeal sa 5 senses even when it was but another indie film. Looking back, taob Vivamax sa Serbis. Isa pa lang 'yan a. Tabi. Choopi. And may social relevance pa as in god-tier levels.

Siguro, kasi Serbis is housed in cinema rin kaya appealing sa akin. Pero super graphic niya na hanggang ngayon, kunot-noo pa rin ako. Para sa mga nagsasabing porn-ish ang Serbis, bobo niyong lahat. Hahahaha. Eat shit. Serbis is a movie that moves people. Lalabasan ka ng inis, galit, poot, at higit sa lahat pawis. Kasi naman, I kennat why naman ganun here sa earth mga ganaps? And the kambing in one of the scenes, just super graphic. It's horrific and terrific. Ganernnn.

Iniisip ko nga kung papanood ko sa tatay kong pakitong-kitong itong Serbis pero baka mastress lang siya kesa mag-enjoy. HAHAHAHA. Namention kasi ni dad a few weeks back na ang legit daw pala ni Mercedes Carbral. Sabi ko naman: You haven't seen her in her glory, yet! Hahahahahaha.

Si Brillante, unapologetic sa timeline ng pelikula niya. And proud siya diyan. May flow siya kung saan immersion ang laban ng kwento niya. HOOOHOOOHOOO. Kaya nga, indie 'di ba? Budget, medyo malaki. Hahahahahaha. Pero 'yung mga paganaps niya, pakkkk.

Hindi talaga ako nasa-starstruck masyado, let alone naiintimidate, pero mannnnn. The first time I saw him in the flesh, solid. Kasi, he lets his art speak for him. PAK. Nakipagkwentuhan to the max talaga ako kasi sobrang gusto ko makita details niya up close. LOL. As a fangirl po tayo e. Tapos usap-usap kami about his films. HUHUHUHU. Pigil-pigil pa akong tumili kasi in that moment, I am living the dreammmmm, babbyyyy. Simple lang pero solid.

I think first time ni Dad manood ng Brillante Ma Mendoza film. So, boogsh. Hahahahahaha. Puro kasi Seiko saka Vivamax trip neto. LOL.

Side Note: Years back, tinanong ako ng tatay ko bakit naman daw 'yung 50 Shades of Grey ang lala. I'm like wtf do you mean? Syempre, explain-explain siya. Me: Hay. It's is what it is. And the target market are women who are bottled up. Research shows that... ayun. PAKSHET NA MALAGKET. Galetwoman na naman me. Apaka bobo talaga manood. Hahahahahaha. Also, kako, baka na-insecure lang din siya because... Hahaha. Boogsh. Forda record, OA nung 50 Shades. Honestly. Jusq. Pero pang-mainstream kasi siya, so ayun. Next!

Sabi ko na humanda siya. Aba sabi ba naman, bakit wala pang nangyayari sa mga unang scenes. In fairness sa comment niya, totoo 'yan. Ganyan si Brillante. 'Di naman sing-bagal ni Kidlat Tahimik pero mabagal talaga first few minutes ng pelikula niya. He takes time to expose his narrative.

In true fashion, may papoetic vibe kung saan, ang goal ay pag-isipin ka agad-agad. LOL. Sa ending naman, lagi't laging open-ended na syempre, ayaw ng mga typical Pinoys. HAHAHAHAHA.

I won't go into the "spoiler" route pero ukilkilin natin ang paglikha ni Ma Mendoza. Hahahahahaha. Shemayyyy. 'Yung shots niya, parang nasa frame ka as a "wingman" or "wingwoman" kasi iba pag-shot niya. 'Yung para kang Marites. Tapos, 'yung shaky shots epek niya, minsan may sense, minsan wala.

I think pinaka gusto ko is 'yung lights. As in. Solb na solb. 'Di siya fancy, pero kaya niyang magpa-sepia sa foreground tapos muted pero popping background. HAHAHAHA. Eat shit mga ibang manlilikha. Puwedeng edited na 'to lalo these days, pero naisip pa niya talaga 'yun 'di ba?

'Yung depth of field niya mula super shallow to super deep abot kabilang universe. EMS. Ang galing kasi kita mo talaga. Pinagisipan. Ginalingan kahit minsan medyo pilit. HUY. Hahahahahaha. Gets ba? Ayun. Mahirap kasi lalo 'pag camera mo, ems lang. CHOZ. Pero mahirap kasi budget is usually a constrict rather than a construct. HUY. Sino ka na naman diyan?

Then, the frames. 'Di siya Wong Kar-wai na frame within a frame within a frame. Sa tingin ko kasi, walang ganito sa Philippine cinema. Wala pa. Baka paparating pa lang. *wink*wink* Hahahaha. 'Yung framing niya, reflective ng Philippine culture. Either super wide or super tight. EMS. Walang in between. Paano mo nga ba kasi ife-frame ang isang bansang sobrang lala ng curation of the poor, the middle class, and the upper class, 'di ba po? CHOZ.

Anyhow, set design and prod. Isa pa 'to. Ang boogsh. 'Di siya fancy, pero malapit sa realidad. 'Yung parang hiniram ang mga costume ng cast sa kapitbahayan. Ganern. Eat shit ulit. Hahahahahaha. Compared to Oro, Plata, Mata, hahahahahahahahaha. 'Yun na lang talaga. I come in peace. EMS.

Another thing kay Ma Me is 'yung grainy pero sharp vibe. Basta. Gets ba? Or baka ako lang na naman yan. Pati textured skin ni Piolo, hindi naklusot. Pati imperfection nung nunal ni Piolo, putok na putok. Pati pag-tulo ng mga sinampay na damit nung housewife ni Baron, poetic. Hahahaha. Parang may subtext lahat. EMS.

I remember one question thrown by an audience (not me, syempre) about a film, not sure if Brillante 'yun. Tinanong kung intentional ba raw or subtext 'yung pink-ish color grading. Sabi nung direktor, ah. Napansin mo rin? Actually, wala lang. Gusto ko lang ng ganung color para maiba. HAHAHAHA. Tawa naman ang audience. LOL.

Details. Ang pinaka simpleng sapul details is 'yung mga weeds as in damong ligaw na nasa lupa after nung shot ng mga Most Wanted. Sobrang liit na details lang nun, pero juskoooolordeeee. Take my soul. Ganerrnn.

So, what?

I really wanna see more films from the Philippines that are trending with a purpose. 'Di lang 'yung puro landian to the max o kaya naman, puro very good girls and bois. HUY. We deserve a better cinema experience even sa online. Actually, lalo sa online. Dapat naman e magkaroon na ng impit finally ang mga pelikulang may kwento AT may kwenta. As I keep saying, cinema is a reflection of one's identity --on a personal level, and a societal level.

Para naman sana, may bigat at buga na tayo sa pagbaha at pagbayo sa bansa lalo na't sobrang disaster-prone natin. Para naman sa mga new breed na pagmamanahan natin ng legacy na sana naman, may silbi, savay-savay. Para naman sa pag-stop right now ng mga kulay ni ganito at ni ganyan forda greater good. Para naman kako, masawata na talaga ang kanser ng lipunan na nakaatang sa mga mamayan at sa bawat buwis at boto or hindi nila pagboto. Para naman sana, baka bukas, mas piliin natin ang Pilipinas ng hindi sapilitan lang. Para naman, baka naman, baka lang, makausad na ng tuluyan ang Bapor Tabo patungo sa West Philippine Sea. CHOZ. Para naman, kesa mega cities na reclaimed naman (ulol) ang focus, sustainable living and working spaces ang pamana natin sa next generation, 'di po ba?

Umaaray at dumudugo na ang middle class. Pati mga alta-ish, mejj nase-stress na sa lagay ng shit dito. LOL. Kaya naman, ano na? Ano ba? Ano pa? Ano? Suntukan? Ang agaaaa. Abangan! PS1: Fave shot ko sa Moro is 'yung part na may mother and son na parang Jesus and Mary pero Muslim. Basta. No spoiler. Abangan n'yo na lang kung masisipat niyo. Hihihihihihi.

PS2: Walang PS2 for today. Bukas na lang siguro. CHZ.

EEEEEEE HI BABYYYYYY TY FOR TAGGING MEEEEE 😙mwahmwahmwah!

Last Song: Writing on the Wall, Will Stetson

Anyone who wants to know me needs to know that I'm obsessed with Kaveh from Genshin Impact, so when this man WROTE A SONG about my sweet angel Kaveh (AND THEN I DIDN'T FIND OUT HE DID UNTIL THIS WEEK AND I STG IT'S BEEN LIKE A YEAR SINCE IT'S BEEN OUT FFFFF), well, I've had it on repeat. I, uh, cried the first time I listened to it because I'm a sob (also bc I can't hug pixels, that man needs all the happiness and love and success ANYWAY)

Favourite Colour: Yellow!!!!!

Like, pastel yellows, specifically, but also the yellow of the Bumblebee car from Transformers.

Last Movie: Don't Worry Darling (2022)

I'm not really a movie watcher so like, me watching this was spur of the moment bc my mama put it on and I saw Florence Pugh (fucking love her)! IT'S KINDA INSANE??? I missed a bit of the beginning but like, she used to be a doctor, but she would complain to her bf/hubby (played by Harry Styles; girl, if you see this... I know you like him👀) that she was tired and shit, so he's been listening to these weird recordings from some egotistical batshit crazy mf (Chris Pine) like an incel (like Harry's character gave huge inferiority complex incel vibes and excelled at the role) and decided to pledge some like, allegiance shit to Chris's character's organization and got himself and Florence's character all hooked up to these weird eye machines that "transported" them into an alternate reality?? and it looks like the 50s in there, like she was stuck playing the housewife role in this really select community. BUT APPARENTLY SHE'S BEEN GETTING BRAIN ZAPPED WITH ELECTRO SHOCK THERAPY TO NUMB HER BRAIN/MEMORIES SO SHE THINKS IT'S REAL AND IT'S HER REAL LIFE??? y'all it's so fucked BUT SO GOOD.

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Savoury

Don't get me wrong, I love spicy shit, I'm a sugar fiend, but savoury just smacks. Every time. Besides, I don't like all spicy things (like tabasco or sriracha, for example) soooo ya.

Relationship Status: Single

Saving myself for my own Kaveh/j/j/j nah, I don't even considering it "dating", but the last person I was with was in fucking middle school, and ever since then, I've either been too busy with school or with work or with my shit health; I wish I realized that paramedic was flirting with me the last time I was waiting in the hospital, GOD, he was so handsome and nice and I looked like I got beat up fr that day

Last thing I googled: "manhwa lightsaber"

LISTEN TO THIS YOU GUYS I NEEDED A REFERENCE PICTURE FOR SOMETHING BUT I ALSO HAD MY SAFESEARCH OFF AND MORE MANHWA PEEN APPEARED ON MY SCREEN IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER and she gave me the biggest fucking side eye I've ever experienced in my life, why do bl manhwa dudes got such massive dicks, man, I'm EMBARRASSED, fucking Cain from Dear Door sabotaged me, GOD

Current Obsession: Hazbin Hotel (specifically Luci 🥰)

The animation, the soundtrack, LUCIFER FUCKING MORNINGSTAR, he's so adorable and dorky and I love his obsession with rubber ducks and making them multi-functional, like other than a bath toy, he made a fucking fire-breathing rubber ducky and I love it so much 🥹 the way I'm planning a self-insert design for this man... goshhhhh.

no obligation tagging! @raspbrrytea @nemjun @lehguru @alstors @lordmaplecrust @mrskreideprinz @jaim-inhothekid (sobbing as i fail to remember y'all's handles kdsfhs)

Favorite color: light blues

Any shade of light blue! It can be pastel, baby blue, etc etc like blue has me in a chokeholdddddd

MY BOYFRIEND SHOWED ME THIS MOVIE AND OH MY GOD IT IS SO CUTE???? Im a sucker for cute shit and this had me *sobbing* 100/10 please go watch it

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: Savory

Oh this is tough….. I was teetering between spicy and savory but ultimately landed on savory cause I’m just baby when it comes to spice 😭 like I like it when my food has a kick to it but I’ll always love myself a good steak with some A1 sauce or some tacos from this good taco shop down the street like I can live without spicy but I can’t live without savory

Relationship Status: Taken!

I’ve been in this relationship for over 3 years!! High school sweethearts 🥰 I actually knew him for around 6+ years and I’ve been in love with him since the beginning and he has been in love with me too but we haven’t done anything about it till senior year 😭 truly a mutual pining slow burn 🤭fun fact! Our anniversary is the same day as Laws Birthday

Last thing I googled: cenote

I booked a cruise for my birthday and I was looking up excursions and there was one where it was like cave and cenote diving and I didn’t know what it was so I looked it up! It’s basically like a sinkhole filled with water I might just have to do that 👀👀

Current Obsession: Bugsnax

Same anon who asked about Long Beach yesterday: I had to chime in with Svetlana and Walter thoughts because I will admit I have thoughts. Svetlana: Either needs to be established early in Act 1 or completely disregarded til Act 2. London does her so dirty with an off-handed remark in Embassy Lament. Walter: if Freddie is playing in Act 2 he can be there. Else his role can be taken entirely by Freddie and Molokov. Also a chess discord has been obsessing over your posts and we're inviting you.

oh my god. I'm bad at discord, but that's very kind. please tell everyone I said hi.

re: Svetlana - I love Svetlana! I want her to be in Act 1 because I love symmetry and it would be great to have her around to play real people with Florence (and Anatoly and Freddie), but she's so hard to incorporate into that half of the story in a way that feels natural but still allows Anatoly to do his necessary lifting as the romantic interest. it's hard to date a man while his wife is literally right there.

I have this (very vague, there are no further details) theory that you could do it if you had Florence switch to working for Anatoly purely in her capacity as his second (she could, hm, suggest his defection? so he can focus more on his career rather than appeasing his handlers?) rather than pursuing the romantic love story, but that nerfs a lot of songs (oh no...what will we do without more songs about how they'll break up someday...). and then Anatoly could pitch "let's leave Russia so the KGB stops breathing down my neck and I can make this point about how I'm good at chess all by myself" and Svetlana - who has been around this whole time - can go "what the hell are you talking about? we live in Russia. our children live in Russia, numbskull." and they could have a fun falling out where he goes (he wants his fantasy and freedom) and she stays behind and that segues into their familiar Act 2 dynamic.

Svetlana is such a useful character. there's so much potential in there. if Florence leaves the Americans and Anatoly leaves the Russians in search of these independent (I hesitate to say apolitical, but kind of?) identities, you automatically get to parallel Svetlana (stays in Russia) and Freddie (apparently unbothered by his position in the American camp) as the two who stayed behind/the two being used as pawns to lure the others back into compliance. she's the most "passive" of the main four, but I think you could do an interesting read of that where it comes from a place of really grounded practicality (which again you get to play off of Freddie, because he definitely lacks that). she's not a hotshot chess player and she's not famous; she wants a normal life at home, in the place where she's from, with the people she loves, and that's a totally rational and respectable thing to ask for.

re: Walter - oh my god, Walter. jesus. okay, so they make this guy up to be a counterpart to Molokov, right? because the concept album just has this weird evil Russian guy to pull strings and you want some balance. but then they only introduce him in Act 2. also he's a tv producer, but somehow he has the authority to negotiate the release of political prisoners? and nobody has really had any clue what to do with him since then so they've tried all sorts of things.

I don't think he's a bad addition. I like Walter! you can do a lot with a guy like Walter to play the American side of the political arm of the story, and he is pretty useful because Freddie's a tough sell as an idea man. you need someone feeding Freddie an agenda because he doesn't have much of one himself despite being pretty ambitious. also he's good for some exposition, and I like when they use him for sort of a spy vs. spy thing! I do feel, however, that Molokov is meant to mirror Florence in the concept album, so adding Walter inevitably tips that balance in an interesting way.

You know what I love about the hotel/cave the boys live in?

It's the perfect tool to use when writing fics. Like, you can write about the boys having anything they want or need and it'll be because it was leftover from when the hotel was still standing.

They have beds lying around? Oh, it's from the hotel rooms that survived the fall.

They all have a bunch of clothes and accessories? Oh, they're from the luggage of guests staying in the hotel.

There just so happens to be a perfectly preserved fireplace with excellent craftsmanship and a romantic appearance to use as background while you kiss your vampire lover? Part of the hotel, babyyyyyy!!

I love the fact that even though Star's the one that takes care of Laddie the most, we've all collectively agreed that Dwayne is his "parent"

Like she works hard to keep him human and safe the whole movie, but one motorcycle ride on the back of Dwayne's bike has us all saying "ah yes, that's clearly his father. Hello, DILF"

I don't really like the idea of making a reboot of The Lost Boys.

HOWEVER

I would pay a stupidly high amount of money to see a reboot IF they got Kiefer Sutherland to play Max. Just bring it back full circle.

It's not just the callback that I like, I think Kiefer would be really good as Max after the acting experience he's built up since 1987.

I especially want to see him do the line "don't ever invite a vampire into your house, you silly boy. It renders you powerless!"

You know what's something in TLB that we don't talk about enough?

THIS GOOFY-LOOKING KITE

Like

These bloodthirsty, killer vampires/biker gang members are pulling this silly prank on their sire for literally no reason

"Yeah, we'll get him with this KITE! That'll show him!"

How am I supposed to take them seriously when they're just doing stuff like this? They're not monsters, they're playful scamps

Yet another reason why I love the boys. They're such dorks 💕
