#ALSO TINA IS NOT IN THIS MOVIE BRO LIKE WHAT!!!!

[paper-star-ships]

Secrets Of Dum//bledore was SO bad y’all 😭😭

[stevetwisp]

What's your all-time favorite Bob's Burgers episode? Like this is YOUR episode? (You can list multiple if you want!)

ooo yes i will need multiple, i have like lil categories for my favs episodes;

like nostalgic, and just genuinely good, and then episodes i find really silly/have my favourite characters

'The Belchies', 'Bob Day Afternoon', 'Bob Fires the Kids' and, 'Sexy Dance Healing' are all episodes I can't decide which i saw first, as in my first episode of Bob's Burgers overall, they all feel a very special and kind of nostalgic and honestly? besides Sexy Dance Healing, they are all really classic episodes that kind of hold the edginess of season 1, but in a good way, and also just have really good well put together stories- as well as introducing/building on side-characters that will become staples to the series (not including Beverly and Cooper, mostly talking about Mickey and the kids' friend group)

Sexy Dance Healing is just a cool episode in the sense they bring attention to the chalk board and Bob's routine with it and him breaking that routine and how the family reacts to it? it's just a wonderful character/world building episode especially if you have been watching the show for a bit before seeing it

'Manic Pixie Crap Show' and 'Silence of the Louise' go up in my top favs bc 1) i LOVE MILLIE and 2) i love the movie silence of the lambs, but also I love louise's crisis about 'being a girl' in Manic Pixie Crap Show

'Amelia', 'The Amazing Rudy', 'Radio No You Didn't', 'Show Mama From The Grave' are all episodes that sort of break formula to tell a better story, Amelia is just... oof. The Amazing Rudy? to escape the Belchers and have a whole episode just on Rudy- and not just Rudy but to focus on his face the whole episode to be inside his head without any inner monologue or narration- it's powerful stuff. Radio No You Didn't is just straight up a cool episode- and I love the running gag of never really showing Bob's mom? Lily is finally in an episode and.... she's a baby the whole time. It's kind of genius? oh also his grandma fighting nazis is cool too. HAHA and to follow that up- I really didn't think they would actually show Lily's grave in 'Show Mama From The Grave' (ironically), I was expecting them never to find it and I want to believe there's a draft of the episode where they never reach her and it's just about how that's okay because Bob thinks of her all the time. But Linda being the one who found her? Bro I was sobbing, loudly, WILDLY.

'Vampire Disco Death Dance', 'Earsy Rider', 'V for Valentine-detta' are episodes that are silly but I feel very strongly about them- Earsy Rider is also one of the first episodes I ever saw, and I think it's so neat they did an episode so early on that addresses- but doesn't unpack- Louise's bunny ears. Also the introduction of some of my favourite background characters, the One Eyed Snakes and Critter (love his name. love that man.) and his partner Mud Flap. ("Aw my mother's name is Mud Flap!" "...Really?" "No, you are named after the dirty part of a car.")

and c'mon, who doesn't love V for Valentine-detta???? We get sweet sweet adorable family time with Linda and Tina and Louise- NAT?? THE INTRODUCTION OF NAT!!!! best character in the series, and probably the gayest Tina will ever be (next to her and Sage... Next to her and Dillon... next to-)

but my ultimate favourite episode of Bob's Burgers will always be, 'Thanks-Hoarding'. I love Teddy. Yes it hits home, yes I relate to him, YES the episode makes me cry, YES I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME

YES I DID MAKE A YOUTUBE VIDEO ESSAY ABOUT IT LIKE 5 YEARS AGO!!!

YES I LOVE THAT EPISODE STILL (tears shirt off)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

anyway thank you for the question c:

honourable mentions: any episode with Gretchen. 👍

[hyperraduo22]

my dps roman empires

cuz i keep seeing those videos with my love mine all mine on my feed with consistently ugly-sob-inducing stories and roman empires so now i have this long list i wanna share

+ may include some little facts here and there for anyone new in the fandom

• anderperry’s entire relationship and dynamic

literally no explanation needed on why it’s the top of the list and the first thing i wrote down

the whole hourglass and icarus x the sun dynamics makes me sob every time without fail

someone rewrite the script so they have a happy ending please

also me: wym they already do?? they got married and went to new york??????

• charlie and neil :(((

• thinking about charlie’s experience and dealing with grief post-expulsion

• todd’s entire character

bro makes my quiet x anxious kid heart go brrr

like just thinking about the little implications of his behavior and what’s said about his brother in the script makes me wanna cry and scream and throw a tantrum

he really represents the epitome of all quiet shy kids out there and i really appreciate it

• dead poet’s society but from cameron’s perspective

i understand y’all wanting to punch and yell at him and show no forgiveness but i also think you should give a bit of sympathy for this kid

he doesn’t know any better just like charlie or any of the other poets

damn this movie does a great job of showing reality and the fact that there’s no real enemies

• dead poet’s society but from pitts’s perspective 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

like i’d pay to see this honestly

• pitts’s screen time :((((

my underrated boy :(((((

• pitts and cameron’s dynamic

i KNOW we see these two talking in the background and seeing him make cameron laugh and smile the most compared to everyone else

like??? i wanna see more?????

cameron being outwardly comfortable around someone finally???

• the fact that all the movie's events ensued as they’re all high schoolers

like idk if there’s a canonical age for any of them but whether they’re juniors or seniors the trauma is still the same

• the thoughts of the kids who stood up on their desks at the end of the movie

how are they dealing with keating being away now? how do they view life in general?? did they really appreciate keatings class???? would they join the dps if they had the chance???????

• hopkins’s portrayal

its kind of a 50/50 since bro barely has screen time, yet i see his character oftentimes being portrayed as the class asshole

i think it’s clear that him and his friends commit tomfoolery and are overall jerks but to think that he’s the more sensible, level-headed guy makes a lot of sense to me—kinda similar to charlie in a way

like he knows limits and when to not push them even if he doesn’t come off that way. all bro does is chill in class and stare off into the windows daydreaming (as shown in the whole ripping out the poetry intro scene). bro doesn’t wanna be there. he’s just chilling and honestly same💀

• spencer’s actual treatment in the movie

ik we love this man, and our headcanons (or at least what i’ve seen and my own for the most part) say that people treat him well but low key everyone be on his shit

like it brings up the question of whether or not this is considered bullying cause any scene i see he’s either blatantly shoved around or even the guys around him purposely steal his medicine and pass it around so he can’t have it (including stick participating in this)-

like i think there’s some limits to being a jerk and idk how spencer really feels throughout the movie cuz he’s a background character :////

• HANDSOME ASS BACKGROUND CHARACTERS AND THEIR SCREEN TIMES = UNFAIR! CRIMINAL !!!!!

• the fact that ginny’s character just gets completely cutout. like she has a few lines to begin with and then the movie comes out and she ends up being a non-speaking extra in the play like i’m- what happened???

• tina and gloria / girl characters portrayed in dps in general

let me explain cuz i love them but also feel bad for their characters

like low key they’re just used as experiments for the cave (implied by charlie in a deleted scene that wasn’t recovered although i think this part is in the original script as well if i remember correctly)

although he brings them back a second time in a deleted scene where they’re all dancing around outside of the cave on the night of the play only for him to make out with one of them in another deleted scene that wasn’t recovered… (( this was revealed in an old interview on someone working behind the scenes btw ))

so like i kinda feel bad for them. like y’all just there for show but i wish you had more lines and other purposes besides possibly not passing a bechdel test ://////

^ lowkey this same concept is kinda seen with chris’s character too. like all she’s there for is a romantic interest for knox. like cmon now she’s one of the main female characters and THIS is what she gets. i wanna know more about my girl chris!!!!

and i kind of understand why it’s set up this way since y’know it’s an all male boarding school in the 1950s—how do you fit female characters in and how are they viewed? it’s not the greatest setup of all time

• ANDERPERRY DELETED SCENE ON THE DOCK NOT MAKING IT INTO THE FILM LIKE OUT OF ALL DELETED SCENES THAT ONE IS THE REALLY IMPORTANT ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

• the deleted scene of the poets carrying neil’s coffin 🚶‍♂️

like goodbye. doors closed. tears shed.

kinda glad it’s not in the movie cuz i would’ve sobbed uncontrollably even more than neil’s death

• todd’s poem

another deleted scene that really rearranges my internal organs

the fact that him reading this poem was supposed to be in tandem/include shots with neil’s death-

why do the writers want us to cry rivers?????

BUT ALSO ITS FUNNY ASF IF YALL WATCH THIS DELETED SCENE WHEN TODD IS TELLING THEM WHAT TO REPEAT BETWEEN VERSES, ONE OF THE POETS GOES “what??🤨”

I’M SORRY TODD IK YOURE TRYING BUT THAT LITTLE AIRHEADED ASS “what?” IS SO FUNNY TO ME

• the fact that in the very first version of the script, keating was supposed to have cancer

I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UNTIL LAST MINUTE

LIKE Y’ALL ADMITTED THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE A SCENE OF KEATING DYING IN A HOSPITAL AND WERE PONDERING ON WHETHER HIS CHARACTER SHOULD HAVE A FATAL ILLNESS FOR THREE DAYS ?!?!?

thank god y’all made the right decision and rewrote the script to take that out

[hum4n01df00]

Here is my list of characters that are most definitely Weezer fans

*note this is very opinionated, so if you disagree, make ur own damn list!* But do share some important info that applies to this category or share some other characters you think could fit in this list!

ps- this isn't very detailed because i can't be bothered lol.

Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds)- I have seen Criminal Minds fans say that he'd be a swiftie or whatever. NO! he'd like Weezer and the Pixies. He yearns like that bro. Even though Mgg is a hottie, Reid would just be that down bad!

Malcolm Wilkerson(Malcolm in the middle)- he is the teenage boyloser (even though he is a genius). His poor social skills just contribute to this idea.

Luke Skywalker(Star Wars)- A farm boy with dreams? he reminds me of every single Virgincore music fan on TikTok. if they existed in the star wars universe, he would definitely be bumping that shit.

Brain Johnson- This is the brain from the breakfast club. He is a sensitive people pleaser with immense issues. I think this applies to the Weezer fan base. Again, if they existed in that time period he would definitely listen to that, but I also have strong Smiths vibes from him.

Louis Tully (ghostbusters)- this man is a man of persuasion. In the first movie, he was a mega simp (by this I mean that he literally almost died trying to turn Dana's TV off) and then I the second movie he was submissive towards Janine. This applies to the Weezer list and the characteristics of a Weezer fan.

Cameron Frye (Ferris Bueller)- "he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she is gonna treat him like shit". Sounds like something Rivers Cuomo would write about in the 90s.

Tina Belcher (Bob's Burgers)- A hopeless romantic, who fantasizes about boys, horses, and many things. she is literally the female equivalent of Rivers Cuomo in a sick way(minus the horses by the way).

Fogel or McLovin (Superbad)- He reminds me of every single nerdy kid who discovers cool music like Alex G or something like that. He is every TikTok goth's wet dream- and something about that gives him that Weezer essence.

EVERY. SINGLE. MICHAEL. CERA. CHARACTER. EVER- let's face it, even in real life he claims to be a Weezer fan. He is often portrayed to be awkward and introverted with an often very sweet personality. He is the product of Weezer.

Mordecai (regular show)- Mordecai has a very nerdy kind of feel, he works at a park and if he were a human, he'd be the blueprint of male manipulators. So, definitely a Weezer fan.

Paul Tannek (loser)- This guy owns one of those hats, he falls in love with an alternative girl and he just is one, ok? It just makes sense.

Daria Morgendorffer (Daria)- She seems like a Sonic Youth fan because their music is dry and monotone, she probably likes cake as well and idk she seems like a riot grrrl. But I can definitely see Weezer being one of the bands she probably enjoys but I don't know. She'd also enjoy matt's band the rentals.

Hiccup (httyd)- He likes Weezer because he is an outsider from the rest of the dragon trainers and I feel like he'd relate to like 'the good life' because he doesn't have a leg no more. he'd just relate to River's Harvard experience.

Neil Lewis (Watching The Detectives)- He is a film bro, he falls in love with a manic pixie dream girl PLUS he is like the punching bag within his circle. If he likes EODM then he probably likes Weezer.

Eric Foreman (that 70s show)- He seems to be that shy kid that every friendship group has, he acts freaky with Donna so why not put him in this category. He is so virgincore (without being a virgin ofc).

Simon Seville (Alvin and the Chipmunks)- His signature color is blue- idk what else you'd expect (he is chipmunk Reid)

Quantum Leap (1989) Re-watch

Season 1, episode 4: "The Right Hand of God"

woo-hoo: mandatory boxing episode (and the 'inspiration' for "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by me and JD Rush)

also: 'homage' to Rocky movies (even the training music is a knockoff of the Rocky theme)

forgot they got Guy Stockwell for this (Dean: "hey, bro: wanna be in my new show?")

still no opening 'oh, boy' - don't think there was one at all

ah - Bashful!Beckett has arrived (and Al's right: Sam IS adorable when he blushes)

… Sister ANGELA (please oh please let Dean say 'Angela'. He says it so sexy in Married to the Mob) (after watching: Damn. Guess I'm gonna have to go re-watch Married to the Mob. Poor me.)

dear lord - that orange outfit for Al. One of his more … interesting ones. Dean barely pulls it off. (… I can pull it off, if Al lets me!)

Apparently, Al's issues with the church haven't 'happened' in this timeline ;-) (canon? what canon?)

reminds Al of raising funds for the Imaging Chamber together (ah, many a fic of the two of them planning PQL)

"he's got more holes in his muffler than you do in your memory" - great line!

"He's a big guy - tells me to blow it out my tailpipe." … well, now.

(Also - realized yesterday that this goes to show how excellent of an actor Dean is. In a lesser actor's hands, many of his lines could've come across right down icky - even in '89. But like Al's clothes, Dean makes it work.)

Sam doing a mobster/Godfather imitation - hilariously horrible

Oh - DIX! I think many of fanon Tina's characterizations come from Dix. IMHO.

"My favorite? Oh, thanks - I really like my favorite. It's one of my favorites." - LOVE THIS LINE

DONUT shop. Everyone has a dream, I guess. ;-)

and we get everyone calling Sam 'Kid' in this

"Hon, you know the quick way never works." am IMAGINING what Al would've said had he been there.

"You'd rather go live with the nuns than with me?" Poor Sam - you can see a part of him is tempted.

"Amazing Grace" as Dix bares all! totally intentional

oh, god - Scott singing "Amazing Grace", though. Dear lord, I love his voice.

And then Al's snoring. ("Denise: Denise - Get in the closet!")

Ah - the first "She's got the most incredible pair of …" - this time "matching boxing gloves."

of COURSE Al goes to Ziggy for help in dealing with the muffler neighbor

"Well, If we knew the unknown, then the unknown wouldn't be unknown." - they're prescient! (see this)

I love you, Dean Stockwell/Al, but the idea of you actually KNOWING how to box - especially in THAT outfit - is HILARIOUS

"Hey - who taught you everything you know?" (pause) said sadly and alone, "I was good, too" - again, the 'inspiration' for "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" by me and JD Rush

and Sam's not much of a drinker already - at least more than a beer

man - still some horrible ADR - must be how they did it in the 80s/90s

her story of the fire - I had two fires around 3 years of each other. Still want to try and write something about it

Dean Stockwell in that white suit - there IS a God

Scott Bakula working out is INCREDIBLY hot

{sigh} I could watch Dean and Scott shadowboxing for hours, I think

Al being jealous of Gomez - so sweet

when the mobster taunts in the bar: Sam has a hair trigger on his anger at this point, doesn't he

STREAKING. Would've been a perfect time for Sam to 'remember' why he streaked in college ;-) (Missing episode fic?)

and Sam invokes the Compound-Interest Time Travel Gambit trope

and I forget he CHEATS by having Dixie streak. Again, obviously before they made Sam the goodie goodie he becomes. I forgot that it's SAM'S idea, not Al's

"Maybe that's all that winning is: having the right person believe in you." good moral, and perfect for Sam (and Al, for that matter)

{sigh} that red gangster hat and SUSPENDERS. I'm in love.

I would've loved to see a behind-the-scenes video of them filming this fight. The way Dean's able to stay out of everyone's way (and not touching ANYONE). I know blocking exists, but I also know that this is a bit different than your 'average' scene\

daw - an imaginary hug with Al when Sam wins!

overall thoughts: I mean, it's a knockoff of "Rocky". What else can I say? It's not a great episode, but not a bad episode either.

Thankfully, both Dixie and Sister Angela makes the episode work. Definitely a 'season 1' episode, if that makes sense. Still somewhat settling characters (especially Sam's) and the 'rules' of his leaping.

This is an episode I would've loved to see a 'on the other side of the IC' scene of Tina (and the others, for that matter) dealing with Boxing!Al (and his reaction to the neighbor).

(I want to say I read a fic where Al was ACTUALLY working overtime on the retrieval progam but didn't want to put any hope into Sam, so 'made up' the neighbor).

End thought? I may have to re-read "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" this weekend. ;-)

[br1ghtestlight]

random thought but i love eugene mirman's gene sounds ESPECIALLY when gene is sleeping. they're so good & cute

louise tina bob and linda looking @ gene literally exactly like this when he forgets how his song goes at breakfast LMAOO

love that tina and louise seem to actually pay attention to what songs gene is writing and what they're about despite the fact that there are SO MANY. supportive family <3

gene's dream.... bro that was god speaking to you. like for real wtf

also im only a minute in and there are SO MANY good screenshots already he's such a cutie i love him so much!!!! <3 gene episodes my beloved

"Now I'm going to change into last night's pajamas, AKA my only pajamas, and brush my teeth with Tina's toothbrush because that's what I accidentally did last night."

"Wait, what?"

gene and tina are so silly?? 😭

me and gene share many similarities including waking up in the middle of the night every two hours for no fucking reason. like THATS relatable

MR AMBROSE APPEARANCE LETS FUCKING GOOO‼️‼️ why does his voice sound slightly sped up is he okay. does he have a new voice actor?? he sounds slightly off not like in a bad way its just strange

THERE WAS A NEW VOICE ACTOR BCUZ BILLY EICHNER WASNT CREDITED maybe bcuz its such a small appearance but thats very weird. i feel like mickey fans in season 12 episode 6 when loren did that horrible mickey impression 😭😭 also whoever did his voice in this episode wasnt credited so it was somebody from the main cast doing an impression of him. will try to figure out who. sorry episode review cancelled i need to figure out who the hell voiced mr ambrose in this episode

based on the fact that u cant obviously tell who it is i dont think its eugene mirman and probably not h jon benjiman?? dan mintz can only do one voice so its not him either. probably either john roberts larry murphy or a random crew member who they didnt bother to credit

(most likely billy eischner just wasn't avaliable to voice mr ambrose due to his movie career etc so i dont blame them but it was noticeable enough to ME that i needed to figure it out. not even a bad impression honestly the average fan wouldnt notice)

"What do you lucid dream about?"

"I do revenge stuff on people who were mean to me in high school, some fantasy and science fiction, some adult stuff I can't tell you about."

this is literally the gayest thing mr ambrose has ever said omg FHFMDDJKSKS i cant believe this drama club ass nerd was bullied in high school who could have guessed. not me thats for sure

(now somebody has to write a fanfic about mr ambrose having Adult Stuff dreams about mr frond. i want this on my desk by 3pm tomorrow)

love mr ambrose and his gay ass curly hair..... mr ambrose my beloved <33 kisses u

i dont have anything to say im just strangely invested in gene's lucid dreaming plot at this point. Love all his silly little dreams and its incredible he never seems to have any nightmares or anything!!

this is reminding me of the movie where gene had a dream and he was scared that he wasn't good at music and that people weren't going to like his performance and the aliens came down to told him to stop 😭😭💔 his insecurity that he might not be that good a musician literally makes me cry. he's so sweet and kindhearted my babyy boy

CAN I SKIP SCHOOL AND GO BACK TO SLEEP LMAO

"Even successful musicians went to sixth grade, Gene."

"That's a MYTH!!"

weirdly mr ambrose started sounding completely normal at some point like did his voice actor come back and just wasn't credited?? or whoever did this impression was REALLY good jfc

mr ambrose HATES these fuckign kids bro

HES SO UNHINGED LMAO 😭😭

NOT THE STARING AGAIN. why are they literally just this image every single time gene plays music in this episode im gonna cry

love this specific frame of gene running his hand through his hair

awww bob is such a good dad

sidenote but this subplot with tina and louise is so stupid it actually made me laugh LMAO the fucking girl cricket. thr female cricket. like what if he's gay huh what then

"or if she's not his type she also makes a great best friend. she's a good listener" THANK YOU louise for acknowledging the cricket might be gay. she's an ally 🙏

AWW GENE WRITING HIS SONG <3 eugene mirman isnt a Good singer (not hating he literally says that all the time. they have to record each line seperately bcuz he cant sing on key) so its hard to tell when they're trying to make gene's songs seem good or not but this is really sweet. u can tell he just loves music so much

why is gene's song kinda making me emotional..... like this show is usually 50/50 on if it actually wants to take gene's songwriting ability seriously but in this episode its so clear how much he LOVES music and songwriting and how talented he is at it. he has trouble with focus and commitment sometimes but thats never an issue when it comes to his music and he'd happily spend an entire afternoon writing a song from start to finish (even skipping out on dinner) because he was so hyperfocused. love how much respect they give gene in this episode tbh

deeply appreciate the "larry murphy as teddy" credit despite teddy not having one single line in this entire episode. Literally just a legacy credit at this point

I LOVED THIS EPISODE 😭😭💕 i dont think it'll be as widely popular as some other episodes this season but as a gene fan and an artist this episode really resonated with me. the ending sequence was actually really beautiful (gives me the same vibes as "your heart's not broken its only growing" tbh) and i loved gene's song and all the different costumes they put him in for his dreams!! tina and louise's subplot was really cute too. very enjoyable episode if you're a gene fan or just a casual viewer who wishes he got more focus. he's SO SWEET and so passionate <3

[magicalhideoutengineer]

Newt & Leta

Leta is now engaged to Newt's, older brother, Theseus Scamander, which Rowling calls "A twist neither of them would ever have seen coming. It creates some awkwardness in their current relationship because Newt once had strong feelings for the woman who is about to become his sister in-law."

- Crimes of Grindelwald production notes

While Redmayne says It’s one of those relationships where there was definitely great love there, there was also romance, but was it ever a full blown relationship? I don’t know. But certainly she’s somebody who has touched [Newt] hugely and at the beginning of this film you realize she’s in a relationship with his brother so, of course, that comes with great complications.”

- Entertainment Weekly

Eddie Redmayne: This one [Leta] was like, I think, love of Newt's life when they were at school. But actually Newt's all like in love with Tina. He's desperately trying to get back to New York. But he cares. He massively cares about Leta.

- Extra TV

Eddie Redmayne: I mean, his brother is engaged to this girl who he had a huge affection for growing up, so there’s obviously a real tension there.

- Buzzfeed

Eddie Redmayne: It's complicated. It's all I have to say. He's kept like this girl in his heart all this time. He comes back and she's engaged to his brother. I mean, that is complicated family stuff right there.

- Entertainment Weekly SDCC

Eddie Redmayne: At the beginning of the film, Newt kind of has found out that his brother's engaged to this girl, Leta, who was kind of one of his closest friends, and perhaps they... He definitely had a crush on her when he was younger, but like that's now in the past.

- E! Insider

Why awkward? Were Newt and Leta actually romantically involved?

Zoë Kravitz: I don’t think it ever went to that place, but Newt has so few friends and connections in his childhood, maybe in his mind it might have gone there? I don’t think it was ever acted upon. But it still feels like a betrayal when she ends up with Theseus.

- Entertainment Weekly

"It's unclear whether Newt and Leta's relationship was romantic or confusing," Kravitz says. "They were both so young when they met."

- Entertainment Weekly: The Ultimate Guide to Fantastic Beasts

Callum Turner: You get the fact that there’s a deep love between [Theseus and Leta] and a connection in a completely different way than how Newt and Leta love. Theseus and Leta are opposites, whereas Newt and Leta are very similar. Theseus offers her support and love and acceptance and stability in a way that Newt was never able to; theirs was always more of a companionship rather than being in love.

- Fandom Interview

Callum Turner: It is complicated, but I think that the important thing to realise is that it wasn’t a full relationship, right? It was a companionship at school and I think he[Theseus]’s of the understanding that it wasn’t as severe as it’s being made out now.

- Futurepreviewsllc

David Yates: We have a character called Leta Lestrange and she used to be Newt's girlfriend.

- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them interview

David Yates: She [Leta] used to be Newt Scamander's love and now is this sort of very mixed-up, quite conflicted, intriguing, beautiful ex-lover of Newt Scamander. 

- HBO Asia

David Yates: Yes. Leta Lestrange comes into the second movie. She's quite complicated and damaged and confused and Newt is absolutely still in love with her, so she has a kind of power over him, and she, yeah, she's a kind of tragic figure, so we will see a bit more of her in the second movie.

- Cinemablend

Joshua Shea: When I first read the script, they [young Newt and Leta] were set to kiss in the script. We didn't [film it]. It was a decision that... I feel like I'm gonna be shot by Warner. bros snipers for saying this, but actually, yeah, basically what happened was I chatted to Eddie about it and it was actually Eddie's idea. I think he said that, "Even if there were..." I definitely think that there was a romantic relationship in some way, but I don't think it was hugely intimate. I think it was very much like a caring, loving friendship. It's that balance. I think, yes, maybe they did have a relationship, but I think it was very much... I don't think Newt is the kind of person who's very touchy-feely. I don't imagine him walking around kissing girls at school. So I'm glad we made the decision. Yeah, so I think that was why we made the decision. I think Eddie was like, "It feels too much, a kiss." And I think we decided on the sort of, if you look very carefully, it comes off like a hand touch, which I think that was enough to kind of convey a sense of like intimacy and a kind of connection.

Mean Girls Part 2 (Movie)

Ok so this is my overall opinions on stuff such as the cut songs and the actors etc 😭 (Once again I haven’t actually watched it, I’ve only ever listened to the soundtrack [once 💀] and seen a few clips!)

Let me start with cut songs! It roars (yes I am counting this) - Realistically I don’t really see why they cut it, and honestly I imagine it would’ve fit within the movie better Also, Ik Renee was on broadway as Regina, and Ik she can sing/write, but never let this girl pick up a pen like ever again that song sas horrific 😭 There’s definitely worst songs out there don’t get me wrong but this was absolutely not a good replacement for it roars Where do you belong? - Ok honestly cutting this makes sense, I can see how this would be difficult to translate from the stage, and they’re so theatre that making them pop would be horrible 😭 doesn’t mean I’m not upset abt it tho 😕 Meet the Plastics (also counting this) - Literally what was the point man 😭 if you’re gonna get rid of all of the best parts get rid of the whole song like this was utter bs - sure, I haven’t seen if it worked well in the movie but Idc, there was literally no need 💀 The reprises (all of them excluding someone gets hurt) - I guess I see why they cut these, as the movie would’ve just been made a lot longer with them, kinda wish we could’ve heard aaron sing tho Fearless - Kinda sad they cut this cuz I actually rlly like the song 😕 also completely butchering gretchen and her songs like damn 😨 not yall acting like she’s one of the best singers on that soundtrack 💀Stop - Much like where do you belong, I can actually understand why they cut this one, although I absolutely wanna hear Jaquel sing it (and on his live the other day I’m pretty sure he said he’s planning on releasing a cover) also doesn’t mean I’m gonna be happy abt it tho 😔 WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS - THIS WHOLE SOUNTRACK IS LITERALLY KEVIN G ERASURE BRO 😭 LIKE WDYM WE DONT GET TO HEAR HIM RAP?? YALL R GONNA TELL ME THAT THE ENTIRE PARTY WAS JUST SPOKEN ☹️ More is better - Also kinda like this song, once again wish we could’ve heard aaron sing but it is what it is Ig 🤷‍♀️ Someone gets hurt (reprise) - Ok so this wasn’t in the soundtrack, and seeing clips of it I see why 💀 It was barely even singing?? She was legit just yelling/screaming it was so bad 😨 DO THIS THING - AS I SAID BEFORE KEVIN G ERASURE LIKE THERE IS NO WAY THEY HAD THE MATHLETES CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT SINGING 😭

About the actors

Don’t Quote me on this but am pretty sure only 2 of them are actually theatre actors?? Ik both Jaquel and Renee have been on Broadway but before the movie cast was announced I had no clue who the others were? And I tried to find theatre credits but there were literally none 😭

I saw a clip the other day of Tina Fey telling us all to stop complaining abt it, cuz she got a killer cast, and sure yea they were a good cast but if you’re gonna make a musical movie, especially based on such an iconic musical, actually make it a good musical?? Actually whilst I’m on this topic I just wanna say the advertising for this movie was so shit, like they didn’t even advertise it as a musical?? And so many people went without knowing it was 💀

Tbh although I’m not trying to say the cast was bad, I just wish they casted actual broadway actors, cuz it would’ve been sm better (for example, WSS 2021 - most of the cast were bway/theatre actors n it is one of the best musical movies I have ever watched)

At this point I would’ve preferred the og bway cast 💀 Like Idc that they’re all 30 or whatever 😭 Personally, I prefer proshots to movie musicals anyways, due to the fact that we get to see it on stage, so ee don’t have to miss anything, and if they really wanted to do this properly they should’ve just gone for a proshot 🤷‍♀️ But that’s just my opinion based on what I’ve seen!

Does anyone else just wish to know what Shmi thought of all the stuff that went down after TPM?

Of Padme and Anakin secretly marrying?

Of her grandkids, Luke and Leia?

Of Vader?

Of literally anything?

Or is it just me?

Guest what?

My grandma took me to the theater....and surprised me with tickets to the Secrets of Dumbledore!

WHOO

I will be acknowledging my stance on the jkr debacle later. (Spoiler: I do not support her) Rn I wanna scream about this movie.

So...Spoiler alert!

DUMBLEDORE ADMITTED HE LOVED GRINDAWALD. TWICE. SCORE FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY.

CREDENCE. he is a dumbledore. Just not what we initially thought. He's Aberforth's son! AND HE'S DYING. THE OBSCRUOUS IS KILLING HIM NO.

MORE FANTASTIC BEASTS YES. (though the scorpion-like creatures kinda freaked me out. I don't like things with many legs. *shudders*)

THE QILIN IS SO CUTE HOW DARE GRINDAWALD KILL ONE HOW DARE YOU SHAME FOR A THOUSAND YEARS-

JACOB AND QUEENIE YES. YOU GO JACOB. SHOW GRINDAWALD YOU WON'T TAKE ANY SHIT YEAH.

NEWT. NEWT MY BOY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

THESEUS IS BACK BRO YES

I love how the Scamander bros relationship kind of echoes the dumbledores'. But they'll have a better one I believe.

ABERFORTH YES I AM LOVING ABERFORTH YO

The professor character (I can't remember her name rn and I can't look it up bc I will lose what I'm typing) is so cool! Am I the only one shipping her and theseus?

EDIT 2/20/22: EULALIE HICKS IS HER NAME SHE IS SO COOL I LOVE HER.

BUNTY YOU ARE AMAZING.

WHY WAS TINA ONLY IN THERE A FEW TIMES? I WANT ANSWERS.

also....NEWT AND TINA YES

QUEENIE AND JACOB ARE MARRIED YAY

EDIT 4/2/22 WHERE IS NAGINI. THIS QUESTION ENTERED MY HEAD WHEN I WATCHED CRIMS OF GRINDAWALD WHERE IS SHE.

EDIT 5/3/22 CLAUDIA KIM WHO PLAYS NAGINI WASN'T IN THE MOVIE BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT OKAY I FEEL BETTER NOW

My #1 post of 2022

Ok but what if din was there during the originals and like is crushing so hard… and Vader finds out first his daughter is falling for the smuggler now his son is falling for the mandolrin

Can we have headcanons for Vader’s reaction?

Okay, let's see here...

Now, I think we can all agree Vader does anything he can to get his hands on any and all peices of information on his son.

For "research purposes" ofc. (Not. It's cuz he's a snoop. Anakin's still in there, ya know! )

And lo and behold, what is this Vader finds?

What's this Mandalorian bounty hunter doing tagging along with Luke?

...and not bringing him in for that sweet reward Vader placed on his son's head?

So, Vader being Vader (or Anakin being Anakin) starts to keep a closer eye on this Mando.

He pours over holo footage of this Mando lending a hand to Luke, the princess, and that accursed smuggler Solo (at least Solo seems to be just as disgruntled as he is!)

So from that 3 year gap between ANH and Empire, Vader just can't shake the feeling that this Mando...there's something going on there but he can't figure out what...

AND THEN COMES BESPIN

Vader's trap is set. It goes as planned...until it doesn't. (Shocker, right?)

While that Mando's not there, he *does* overhear a little conversation between Leia and Han about him...and Luke.

He would've choked if he could.

Luke. His son. The only person he still cares about.

Is dating?

A Mandalorian?

Force, no.

Not on his fucking watch.

Vader manages to keep his indignation under control for a bit - until he blurts out (before the I am your father moment) to Luke that he *knows* about his relationship.

Luke is, understandably, confused and worried.

On one hand, "oh no Vader knows about Din!"

On the other... (mind the pun)

What does Luke's love life have to do with Vader?! Has Vader been stalking him or something?! (Yes Luke. The answer is yes.)

Then comes the reveal and Luke's ultimate escape, leaving Vader even more frazzled.

First, he finds out he has a son.

Then, that son has a boyfriend. (Who is he? What did he look like under that stupid helmet!!? How old was he - Vader needs to know, okay?!)

Then comes an offhanded comment from Boba Fett.

"Oh, a Mando is silver and red armor? Yeah I know him."

Aww thank you so much!😭You have no idea how much that means to me!💗

Omg not him getting distracted?!? Bestie that is TRAGIC! I would lose it lowkey bc sadly i get TOO invested when I like something lol But YES I would HIGHLY recommend watching the last two together! I agree Tina’s episode felt more like season 2 vibes and would have probably fit better when she started to take those fancy cooking classes. But we got Richie’s episode which was a WIN for me lol

Bestie of course I will always be rooting for you! And the fact that you're a teacher just makes you even more remarkable! Plus you’re basically in the trenches everyday with those teenagers 😭And of course rooting for you in your personal life!

I saw that you’ve been struggling a bit with part 2 but you’ve managed to get it done! Very proud of you because I can only imagine how it can be a bit frustrating! I know all of us are going to love it!

HAHA omg you’re so REAL for thinking that! I mean he is a MAN after all so I would be surprised if he wasn’t whiny lol

Hope meeting up with your friend went well! And I especially hope that you’ve survived your family because I know it can get ROUGH😭Hope the weather gets better too! I know you basically hate when it’s hot lol

I was pretty busy this weekend! I hung out with friends I haven't been able to see in a while so it was nice to have a break! It’s been so hot recently but It cooled down a bit so we had a picnic! And I actually saw a movie where the main character was named Sam/Samantha! What’s wild though is that we went out for sushi and there was a roll called Sun Kissed and I immediately thought of your fic! I MUST re-read it because it is such a cute little summer fic! ANYWAYS overall it was nice but my social battery was drained lol 

I'm wishing you the BEST start of the week! Hope you are treating yourself well! Wishing you all the LOVE BESTIE!!- 💜

BRO I TOLD HIM I WANTED TO WATCH BOTH EPISODES AND HE SAID WE CAN WATCH ONE. I COULD THROW UP. IDK WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM. Anyway. That's a good point about Richie vs. Tina. It would have been greedy to have both. Anyway. I can't tell you how much I love the Faks. My favorite bit so far has been "How many Faks are coming?" "At least 2 less than 5." I just love them so much. Barging into the hospital to see Claire??? 😭😭

Part 2 is done and posted. I'm trying not to hate it since it's only been an hour, it's Monday, and I did write a whole ass dissertation 🤦‍♀️ I can't wait to hear your thoughts if you have time to read it 💕

...he's super whiny tbh... or maybe I'm just conditioned to not want to be whiny because I'm just a girl 😂 if you know what I mean.

It was super nice to see my friend! My fam is this week and not looking forward to it exactly. I went for a walk today in this RIDICULOUS hot humid air. But I do feel better for it. I have another friend meeting tonight so I need to shower again and try to remain cool. It's also Monday so it's my list day hehehehe so I've got that going for me too! I'm also addicted to online shopping and it's Prime Day tomorrow so I gotta get shit for my classroom. So that's what I have for this week! Hopefully I'll have time to read and write too!

OMG so fun! I hope she was a good character. I'm always so sad about Sam/Samantha's in movies and shows--they give me such a bad rap. They're often a 👎 (but not Hilary Duff in A Cinderella Story but that's because Hilary can do no wrong by me). I LOVED sun-kissed. So much summer fun 😂 I've never been a sushi fan, but I love that for you! I'm glad you had a nice weekend with friends even if your battery is drained!

LOVE YOU! 💕

xoxo

[wanderfan2000]

So, what happened in 2023 for me? 

- I saw The Super Mario Bros Movie, (fell in love with it and the soundtrack.) 

- Celebrated both Craig McCracken and Jack McBrayer’s birthdays. 

- Got obsessed with The Lonely Planet. (Again as always and posted stuff about it non-stop.) 

- Made a bunch of fan made mini trailers for my newest Halloween movie, Scared McBrayer 3: The Jumpscare. 

- I turned 23. 

- I saw Elemental, fell in love with it as well. (In fact, I thought the music was going to remind me of WALL.E because of Thomas Newman, but instead, I believe the score took inspiration from the score for the film, DUNE.) 

- I recreated some YT videos featuring an old unreleased Pokémon 2000s score that I’m currently obsessed with. 

- I had another successful Wander Over Rewind. 

- WANDER OVER YONDER TURNED TEN YEARS OLD! 

- The Wander fandom was geeking out with the discovery of the 2011 WOY pilot. (I was the first person in the fandom to see it entirely on Internet Achieve, and another person uploaded it to YT for everyone to see. Great minds think alike, I suppose.) 

- Watched tons of 30 Rock on Hulu\Disney+. (I loved watching my favorite people in it too, Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey and Jack McBrayer AKA: Wander) 

- WOY’s The Heebie Jeebies S T I L L scares me even after it was released seven years ago. (”Dancing ghosts mimes that bounce just like springs.” AKA: the one lyric that A L W A Y S haunts me!) 

- Became obsessed with the WALL.E video game version of “It Only Takes a Moment.” (I’m also obsessed with the original song and “Put on your Sunday Clothes.” I’m a WALL.E fan, what can I say?) 

- I got into Gremlins! (Hopefully to watch Gremlins 2 next year). 

- I watched A Very Minty Christmas all December. (”That’s what I love about Christmas, hard to believe that it’s almost here. That’s what I love about Christmas, have a merry one this year.”) 

- I have a great Christmas. 

- I made tons of new friends with both old and new WOY bloggers. 

- I’m making a list of what I did in 2023, wait a second… 

HERE’S TO 2024! NEW FRIENDS, NEW CHALLENGES AND NEW ADVENTURES AWAITS!  Bonus: 

- Me watching Jack McBrayer voicing Badgey in Star Trek: Lower Decks…THIS CHARACTER TERRIFIES ME! (But there’s also some funny moments with him, too. Don’t get me wrong.) 

[villanevehaus]

tme anon here with my thoughts on Raw. This is going to be way too many notes despite the fact I've actually cut this down to about 1/3 what I wrote originally. I am so sorry, but...

I fucking loved this movie! I watched it twice back-to-back because reasons. Here are toooo many notes:

walking on the side of the road with an overcast sky is giving me donnie darko vib—the fuck! okay, it’s that kind of movie. good dive though, i give her 8/10 for form.

wait, what. oooh they’re speaking french. my silly ass forgot this is a french film. brb guys.

SUBTITLES—there we go, much better

this is not what it was like when i went to college. i mean, a kid did die from hazing, but still

is this…what having a sibling is like? 

oooh specimen lab. sidebar: i have always wanted to see the Mütter Museum 

Carrie’d.

Don’t scratch. Don’t scraaaatch. BUDDY IMPULSE CONTROL STOP IT.

HORSE! This shot is the tits. The sound, the music, the running. 

Hahaha, I hope you wear the dress over the sweatshirt just like that, babygirl, you look ah-mazing.

Vegetarian options be like mashed potatoes and steamed carrot coins. 

WHY DID YOU GRAB IT WITH YOUR BARE HANDS THOUGH, THERE WERE TONGS.

WHY ARE YOU BITING INTO THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF YOUR FUCKING SHAWARMA?

Oh my god, this is like the clown handkerchief trick but for trichophagia. 

i’m an only child, i really, really, really do not understand this peeing sister scene. 

SISTERS CANNOT POSSIBLY DO THIS. (waxing)

Wow, those are sharp scissors. 

How drunk are you that you’re letting the dog lick your sister’s finger stub. Like, sure, eat her finger, but stop the bleeding and keep the dog away. You two are in vet school, you know about surgery and infections and shit. What is this.

She is eating the finger like how Tom Hanks eats the baby corn in Big. HAHAHAHA

I am that old guy with dentures! I laughed so fucking hard at this, I would be exactly this man in the film. 

I have yet to watch Cronenberg’s Crash (1996), but this is just screaming Crash at me right now.

I know this isn’t the focus of this soccer scene, but it cracks me up when men rub their faces together to express aggression. 

This is some very Tina Belcher-quality dancing in front of this mirror.  

Trainspotting vibes. Pretty soon the baby from Yellowjackets is gonna crawl across her ceiling. That’s how this works, right?

Is your sister hitting you with a sock full of coins? Of all the things in this movie, the sound and screaming here is the one making me flinch. 

She blue herself. 

THERE IS A whole ass chunk missing outta his lip. That is beautiful. 

I can see a lot of this in TME, I feel like I’ve been let in on a bunch of little inside jokes, love it.

Hahaha, having sex with her is like trying to catch a fucking snake before it strikes. 

Oooooh, man. That bite, though. Oooof.

The shot at the party that tracks through the kissing couple up to her deliriously horny face sitting against the wall? Amazing. 

How much cadaver did you eat, bro?

BoyfIghts: Sisters edition. (how many AD jokes can I maaaake)

You should probably have locked that door.

(3 minutes later) Yep, shoulda locked it.

I love that you can see blood on the sheets right by her head before she figures it out.

Chekhov’s ski pole. 

Reflection mirroring with the mother YASSSSS

Love wins.

<3<3<3

GOES CRAZY INSANE BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK

the horse shot!!! yes!!!

I KNOW SHE JUST PUTS THAT GREASY ASS BURGER IN HER POCKET LIKE GIRL THERE ARE TONGS RIGHT THERE

i am also an only child and was like??? is this normal?? and my femme who has sisters says it is NOT!!! i need to convince people who have siblings to watch it

i also have yet to see crash 1996 i saw an edit of it to a NIN song and was like uh oh i can feel a crash 1996 and titane double feature approaching

i love the AD references i love AD

chekov's ski pole

the end the end the end the end WAWAWA

IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT it changes my brain chemistry im sure of it

17,18,19,20 for your absolute most favorite ship of all time!

Okay fine, you asked for it then. More GeneLouise for the world to see

17. Lots and lots of popcorn and snacks with movies of their choice. They each pick ONE and thats final. Most times its something one of them doesn't really enjoy but those are the terms if they want to watch movies together. Besides that they'll throw together the most atrocious Charcuterie board you could think of, consisting of anything they can find in the kitchen, its pretty much a tradition at this point. Even Tina thinks its weird, "Uh, I don't think a mashed up chocolate bar and salami really go together?"

18. Night time is the crème de la crème for these two, its the only time the two can naturally spend time together, during the day they're so busy at the restaurant or at school. So after dinner its something they anticipate greatly. (Depending on their ages) sneaking out has become an art for them, its incredibly easy when you have 2 overtired parents and you already live in the middle of the town. They love hanging out under the wharf and finding weird things or on the beach by the water. They don't say it much but they love the reflection of the mood on the distant water. The light from Kingshead Island always piques their curiosity, wondering what it would be like to goof off to their for a night. Besides that if they can get their hands on a bit of weed / alcohol they'll be able to make up their own fun pretty easily.

19. Gift giving is a big one. Whenever Louise is feeling like shit, her bro will do his absolute best to make her feel better with a gift of some sort, like a candy bar or a new pack of Burobu cards, sometimes even the biggest hug he could hammer out makes her feel a bit better, depending on the day. Since they love playing music together, its a great pastime for them to play songs with great meaning between the two, it doesn't sound good, but its something they revel in.

Also random fact but if Louise gets to be pushed on a swing that she can just barely fit in, she'll be the happiest sister in the world. Gene shows his distaste for it but deep down enjoys doing it.

20. At least once a week Gene will try to steal Louise's hat. Its like a game to them basically. Most times he unsuccessful. Trying to sneak up on her but she has too many senses to let that happen. "Nice try. Maybe don't walk so heavy." Also very cliché but Louise steals Gene's sweaters all the time, but he usually gets them back after a certain amount of time. If he's doing laundry that week for the family and sees Louise's load of laundry he'll just sigh annoyingly and take it back without any word. (Fun fact: they share a pair of earrings)

[theangrypomeranian]

2, 6, and 15 for the asks pleaseeee <3

seeing this in my inbox made me smile so much, bless you. <3 2. What's your favorite episode and why? so in true Sally fashion, I literally cannot pick one lol. but i can narrow it down to three! my first pick is The Plight Before Christmas. when i tell you that this episode literally had me in TEARS. like?? they all just love each other so much! Tina is such a good sister trying to be there for Louise, and i ADORE Louise's poem that she wrote about her family. plus Linda's pain at not being able to see all of her children do their things makes me ridiculously happy. and Bob trying so hard! and the music! just!! everything!! i love this episode so much!! my next pick is UFO No You Didn't. everything about this episode was just so cute and endearing and genuinely funny. i adore Susmita as a character, i want to see her more! and i personally think that Henry is hilarious, and i love him and Susmita together, frickin nerds. and of course the kisses!! as much as i don't really ship them, the kiss that Tina and JJ share is just so genuine that it makes me smile. and of course we get the canon Zekina kiss that makes me SCREAM every time i watch it. I just?? love this episode so much!! and my last one is Roller? I Hardly Know Her! i still cannot believe that this episode is real. it legit feels like something out of a fanfic and i LOVE it. i ship the GAC pack so so hard, so having them not only interact but stand up for each other and enjoy each other's company just makes me melt into a happy puddle of shippy goo. Plus Gene sings my favorite song by Heart! like!! this episode is so good and i wish more people talked about it!! 6. Which joke had you crying with laughter? bro this one is so hard, but i need to give a special shout out to the part in the movie when Tina is trying to throw her barrettclace into the ocean and it just won't go in. like that is some physical comedy that you can only make work in animation and it's just *chefs kiss* so good. it's also something that's definitely happened to me before which just adds to the humor for me lol. 15. Least favorite season? OKAY PLEASE DON'T COME FOR ME FANDOM LMAO. but i genuinely cannot stand the first season, it was physically painful for me to get through. i just did not enjoy the humor at all and i found almost all of the characters insufferable. the only episode i kinda liked was Sheesh! Cab, Bob? because the interactions between Tina and JJ were pretty cute. idk it just was not for me and i refuse to rewatch it lol. especially the first episode, i really hate it lmao. thank you for asking!

My Dingus

Masterlist

Prompt: Drunk confessions

Warnings: Alcohol and Steve being adorable

Pairing: Steve Harrington x reader

A/N: This Is one of my favourite prompts! I was up till 3am writing this and I have work in 3 hours oof xD

✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮

“Pleeeeeeease Y/N?! You never come to these parties with me anymore.” Steve begged as you walked up to your car with him in tow. You promised you would pick him up from work and take him to Robins so they could go together to this house party thrown by…Tina? Or Tyler? You don’t really know. However, one thing you do know is that this was another Steve trick. He was trying to get you to go to the party with them. Every time you turned down an invite he would always try to find another way to get you to go.

It’s not that you don’t like getting drunk with the chaotic duo, you were best friends with them. You just hated house parties. It was too loud and you normally hated the type of people who go to these things. Frat bros will forever be your mortal enemy, especially when you have been drinking.

You reach your car and begin to unlock the driver’s side door. “Steve I can’t. I have a very important date tonight.” You joked. You looked up to see the smile on Steve’s face drop. Normally you could read Steve like a book but the drop in his features surprised you. There’s no way he would be upset about you going on a date…right? Just to be safe, you decided to clear up the possible miscommunication. “A date with the videos I rented from your work, dingus. You know I would tell you if I had a date with someone.”

“Yeeeeah…I knew that.” He lied before sliding into the passenger seat and immediately reverting back to the previous topic of conversation.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come? It won’t be the same without you there. Robin will miss you too. She hasn’t seen you in forever.”

“I’m sorry Steve. I’ve just never been a fan of parties. I’m more of a movie night kind of gal y’know?” You looked over at Steve to see a soft smile form across his face.

“Of course I know, dingus” You both laughed, driving away from Family video and en route to Robin’s house.

Half a mixtape and a few karaoke scream alongs later you had arrived at Robin’s driveway.

You both said your goodbyes and Steve began to exit the car. You gently grabbed his arm before he had fully left the vehicle, making him turn back to face you.

“Thank you for always inviting me to these things. I know it must be annoying that I never actually go but I always appreciate that you want me there.” You really did appreciate how much Steve wanted to involve you in the crazy adventures that himself and Robin would get up to.

“First of all, you could never annoy me. Ever.” Steve said matter of factly, leaving a slight pause before continuing. “Second of all, I will always want you around Y/N. 24/7 if I could.” You both stared at one another sweetly. You realized how long you were both staring and your face began to turn bright red. You giggled before gently shooing him out of the car. He also chuckled lightly before shutting the door and waving you off as you backed out of Robin’s driveway and headed home.

Your bright red blush stayed on your face even after you arrived home. You couldn’t stop thinking about what he said the entire drive back. You quickly walked into the kitchen and grabbed an icepack from the freezer, pushing it onto your face to stop it from feeling like it was on fire. You leaned against the counter and sighed.

You have always had a soft spot for Steve. You realized this in high school when your heart would constantly sink every time he flirted with other girls or when you saw the way he looked at Nancy when they were together.

You pushed yourself away from the counter top and began to gather your snacks and movies for your movie marathon, hoping the unrealistic cheesiness from the romcoms you chose would help ease that sinking feeling you felt.

‘At least someone gets to be in love’ You thought before sinking into the couch as the first movie began to play.

✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮

It was almost midnight and your evening was going super peaceful, almost too peaceful. As you finished that thought your house phone began to ring. You picked it up to a barely audible Robin amongst the sea of loud party goers.

“Hey is this Y/Ns house?”

“No but this is their phone number” Y/N replied light heartedly.

“Oh thank god! I was hoping I remembered your number properly. It’s Robin!”

“Hey Robin! What’s up? How’s the party going?” You responded.

“It’s going great! But-“ Y/N interrupted Robin before she could continue.

“You need a favour?” Robin sighed in relief on the other side of the line.

“I met someone.” She whispered and Y/N squeaked in excitement

“That’s amazing! Tell me everything. How did you meet?!”

“I’ll have to save all the details for you tomorrow Y/N. I need that favour asap.”

“Sure thing. What ya need? Is this, by any chance, related to a certain floofy haired co-worker?”

Robin laughed before responding “Why yes it is. How on earth did you know?” She said sassily.

“Just had an inkling” You giggled “So what’s this favour that you need done asap?”

“Okay so he was meant to stay at mine tonight but I’ve met this girl and it’s rare that this opportunity comes about so I wanted to bring her home but I don’t want to send Steve home and get him in trouble and-“

“Robin its fine. Go have a fun time with this girl and l will be there in five to pick up Steve. I just need the address.”

“Y/N you’re the best” Robin says gratefully before yelling over to tinatyler or whatever their name is to ask them for their address, you guessed she was either too drunk to remember it or Steve knew but /he/ was too drunk to remember it.

“Oh don’t I know it.” You laughed before grabbing a pen and paper and writing the address down. Luckily it wasn’t too far and you had tutored a kid on the same block a couple of months back so it wouldn’t take too long for you find the house.

“One more thing I need to know before you go.”

“What is it?” Robin replied, her words beginning to slur slightly.

“How drunk of a Steve am I dealing with?” ✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮

“Y/N!” Steve yells at you exit your car. Robin is holding him up as they both walk forward to greet you. You laughed as Steve launches himself towards you and pulls you into a hug. You’re used to drunk Steve by now but you will never get used to the butterflies in your stomach whenever he gives you affection, drunk or not. He rarely gets drunk but when he does he’s very affectionate and happy. It’s an adorable sight to see you have to admit.

“Hey Stevie, ready to go home?” He responded by squeezing you tighter, resting his chin on top of your head.

“Nooooo I don’t want to go back home, my parents are mean.” He mumbles into your head. You lightly squeeze him back and move away from his embrace to look at him.

“No silly, you’re staying at my house tonight.”

“Ooooooooooooh! My hooome home. Okay lets goooo!” He yells before grabbing your hand and walking with you back to the car. The blush returns the second his hand made contact with yours and you curse yourself for being such a simp for this man.

“BYE ROBIN!” He yells and waves before falling into the passenger seat. You giggle before waving to Robin and the girl who was now standing beside her.

“Have fun you two! Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” You laugh as you get into the car and see Robin playfully flip you off before the girl links arms with her and leads her back inside. You look over to your right to see Steve is already messing with the mix tapes, trying to find a good song for you both to jam out to on your journey back home. You handed him a bottle of water before pulling out of the driveway.

“What’s is this for?” He slurred, giggling at himself for messing up his words.

“To help sober you up silly. Also you get insane motion sickness when you’re drunk so that should help.”

“You remembered that? That happened years ago.”

“Of course I remember. You threw up in the back of my mom’s car and I had to do the dishes for a month.” You both laughed as you reminisced over that disaster of a night.

“I’m still sorry about that by the way.”

“Oh suuuuuure you are” You teased as you kept your eyes focused on the road.

He chuckled lightly, taking sips of water at an attempt to sober up and not repeat the horror of that night.

You both sat in silence for the rest of the journey. Only the sounds of your stereo and the occasional swig of Steve’s water bottle filing the air.

As you pulled into your driveway you noticed Steve staring at you. You turn to look at him with a smile. He was resting his head against the seat and staring at you with a look that made your heart flutter.

“What?” You giggled as you unbuckled your seat belt and opened your door. You walked around to the other side and opened the passenger door, reaching over Steve to unbuckle his belt.

“You’re so beautiful, Y/N” You had just started to pull away from him as he said those words. You looked at him and realized your faces were only inches apart. You paused for a second, looking down at his lips and back up into his eyes before lightly sighing and helping him out of the car.

“And you’re drunk, Stevie. Let’s get you inside, huh?” You lifted his arm around your shoulder and bumped the door shut with your hip. You guided him inside and shut the front door.

“But you are beautiful Y/N! sooooo beautiful!” He accidentally yelled as you began to laugh, shushing him and guiding him towards the kitchen.

“Oh sh- sorry! Are your parents’ home?” Steve stumbled into the kitchen and leant against the counter, trying to steady himself. You took his now empty water bottle from his hands and began to refill it.

“No, it’s fine. They’ve gone to visit family for the week. I just don’t want any more noise complaints from the neighbours. Especially after last time” You chuckled, remembering the time Hopper had been called to your home because grumpy Mrs. Miller couldn’t stand you and Steve yelling the lyrics to your favourite mix tape at 10pm.

You smiled fondly at the memory before handing Steve the now refilled bottle.

“You’re on your own for the whole week? Why didn’t you say anything? I would’ve stayed over.”

“Well you can still stay the rest of the week if you want.” Steve fist pumped in victory as he gave you another hug. You nuzzled your head into Steve’s chest and let out a sigh. He started to lightly sway you both back and forth, making sure he didn’t lose balance and fall in the process.

Your smile faded as you had to once again remind yourself that this means nothing to Steve. He’s just drunk. You know this is just how drunk Steve acts, he’s like this with everyone when he’s drunk so it’s not like its aimed at you specifically and-

“You know I meant what I said right?” He interrupted your trail of thought.

“About what?”

“When I said you are beautiful. I really mean it Y/N” He moves away from you before gently placing his fingers under your chin and forcing you to look at him.

“You are the most beautiful person I know. You always look amazing. Even in that gross uniform your work forces you to wear.” You laughed lightly which in turn caused him to smile a smile that made your heart flutter more.

“Awwwww you’re blushing.” He teased before you hid your face against his chest in defeat.

“No I’m not.” You mumbled into his shirt before looking up at him again. He moved some strands of hair away from your face, his hand just resting on your jaw.

“How are you feeling, Stevie?” You whispered, feeling as if your lungs had been completely revoked of air as Steve stared into your eyes.

“I feel like I really want to kiss you.” Your eyes shot open. You were definitely not expecting that response that was for sure.

“Stevie, you’re drunk. I can’t.” Steve looked down at the floor in defeat. It was your turn to lift his face to look at you.

“I promise, if you remember this conversation tomorrow and you still want to kiss me. You can. And I will give you a thousand more in return.” You whispered, lips only inches apart before grinning and pulling away. Steve looked at you with his puppy dog eyes. You laughed, waving your index finger at him.

“Nuh uh mister. That’s not going to work. Remember this tomorrow and you can have all the kisses you want.”

“But why not nooooow.” He pulled you into another hug, continuing to pout as you giggled.

“Because I want you to be sober for our first kiss.” Steve squeezed you tight after you answer before finally removing himself off the counter and taking your hand in his. He started to gently pull you over to the bottom of the stairs.

“You don’t want to watch some movies first?” You questioned. The next words to leave Steve’s mouth made your heart almost explode.

“The sooner I go to sleep then sooner I get to wake up and kiss you.” He smiled before running up the stairs. He nearly tripped twice up the stairs, his shirt flying down the stairs as he ran to your room to change. You eventually snapped out of your love sick trance and began to ascend the stairs to your room, grabbing the bottle of water Steve left behind, grinning like an idiot the whole way there.

You entered your room to see Steve already asleep in your bed, your bedside lamp illuminating his bare back and his /pretty/ face. You leaned against the doorway, making sure you engraved this memory into your brain forever. After a little while you moved away from the doorframe and placed the bottle of water on the bedside table next to Steve. You walked around to the other side of bed and slipped under the covers, your back facing Steve as you wriggled about a little to make yourself more comfortable. You reached over the sleeping Steve to turn off the bedside lamp before drifting off to sleep.

You awoke to the sun shining in your eyes, you covered your eyes with a groan, annoyed that you forgot to shut the blinds last night. Once you were more awake you began to remember the events of last night. Your stomach dropped. What were you meant to say to him? Does he remember anything? You took a deep breath and rolled to face him and-

He wasn’t there.

You sat up as your stomach sank, you saw the post it note on your bedside table.

‘I’m sorry, Y/N.’

Your eyes began to well up. He regretted everything you just knew it. He probably panicked and left. You wipe your eyes as you begrudgingly get out of bed and head towards the stairs, trying to think of what to say to him later. Whether it would be easier to call him or face the music and talk to him in person.

As you reached the bottom of the stairs you hear a loud metallic crash. You jumped and grabbed the bat that was near the front door, preparing yourself to start swinging at whoever decided to mess with you first thing in the morning.

“Shit!” You heard a very familiar voice yell as he threw another pancake onto a plate. You were amazed to see he had actually managed to make two whole stacks of pancakes without setting the kitchen on fire. He put his finger in his mouth groaning in pain, turning off the stove and placing the pan into sink. He was so distracted by his burnt finger that he almost didn’t see you standing at the bottom of the stairs, bat still in hand.

“Oh! Morning Y/N! Pancakes?” He gestured towards the two plates of pancakes on the kitchen counter.

“You didn’t leave?”

Steve looked baffled at the response.

“No why would I? You said I could stay for the week so I’m gunna.” He said in a sassy manner, pointing again to the pancakes.

“What else do you remember from last night, Steve?”

“But pancakes, Y/N”

“Steve please, I need to know if you remembered what I said.”

There was a long pause. The atmosphere was tense and it felt like time has slowed down to halt. It was the worst few moments of your life before he decided to speak again.

“I remember everything, Y/N.”

“And what I said?”

Steve nodded, the most love struck smile forming on his face.

“I remember”

“Do you still-”

“Yes.” Steve breathed out. You walked quickly towards Steve before reaching up and crashing your lips against his. He wound his arms around your waist and began to walk you backwards until your back came in contact with the edge of the counter. You wound your hands in his hair as he lifted you onto the counter, standing between your legs as you both continued you kiss with as much passion as you could both muster. So many years of longing and tension finally being released as your lips began to move against each other’s. Steve’s arms wrap around your waist, pulling you even closer towards him as he finally broke the kiss. He gently pressed his forehead against yours as you both try to catch your breath.

“How was that for a first kiss?” You chuckled lightly, gently kissing the hand he held in yours.

“Pretty good Harrington, I’d give it a solid 100/10”

“Sweeeeet.” You both giggled before falling back into a comfortable silence. Heads still resting against one another’s.

“So how about them pancakes?” Steve kissed your forehead in response

“Only if I get those thousand kisses in exchange.” You went bright red as Steve laughed at your reaction.

“I promise to give you a thousand in return.” You laughed back as he gently lifted you off the counter, settling you back onto the kitchen floor as you look up at him completely love-struck.

“Sounds like a good deal. I’m in.”

✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮✭✮

“Steve?”

“Hmm” He replied, mouth stuffed full of pancake.

“What was the post it note about?”

“Oh! I accidentally stood on one of your figures and the hand snapped. I wrote the post it note so I didn’t have to face your wrath." He chuckled.

You giggle, kissing him on the cheek before continuing to eat your pancakes.

“Dingus”

“Your dingus” He corrected you, shovelling another full pancake into his mouth

“My dingus” You grin as the realization hits you. You finally got your happy ending.

I’m going to be so immeasurably pissed off if Secrets of Dumbledore was the last Fantastic Beasts film because of a multitude of reasons, but especially:

Autistic!Newt: autism is rarely portrayed in the media, and when it is, 99.9% of the time it’s in a negative way or as some kind of saviour p0rn stuff. Newt Scamander is not only a positive (AND CANON!) representation of autism, it’s the only one in a major franchise such as the Wizarding World, and he’s the main hero to boot. Cancelling the remaining films means we don’t get a full franchise with an autistic hero, which would suck so hard. As an autistic person, I really want to see more of Newt and am beyond thankful for how Eddie has clearly done his research and played Newt so beautifully and respectfully.

Newtina: Even putting aside the fact I’m a Newtina shipper, it would be awful if we don’t get the remaining two films to show how Newt and Tina ended up married with great grandkids and living in Dorset in their 120s. Not being funny but all the side couples have had their time to shine: Jacob and Queenie are now married, and Grindelwald/Dumbledore’s blood pact thing is solved, although yes, there’s also the duel but still, it definitely felt like there was closure of some kind to the romantic side of their story in SoD. Newt is the main character and Tina is (supposed to be, fuck you JK/WB) the female lead as well as his canon love interest/future wife. It’s just stupid to tease them in the first movie and not give any kind of closure or progress to their relationship beyond the literal crumbs in the following two films. It’s long past overdue to let Newt and Tina have some focus and to give Jacob/Queenie / other couples a more background role.

Tina Goldstein: What they’ve done with Tina’s character is disgusting. “She’s busy” - fuck off with your lame excuse for her absence in this film. It’s so painfully obvious Katherine was cut because she spoke out about JKR - and if it’s not that, she’s certainly had a huge falling out with JK/WB because she has done zero promotion for SoD beyond turning up at the London premiere specifically just for the fans (as shown by the hours she spent taking photos and signing stuff, which btw I witnessed in person! I was there!), and when she posted a picture of herself at the premiere, she didn’t mention the film, just shouted out her make up and hair people. She’s supposed to be the main female character, and they’ve delegated her to little more than a cameo. As a Tina fan, it really hurts to see because she’s the reason I fell in love with the first film because I saw myself in her character. I want the last two films just so that Warner Bros can give her character the development she deserves because apart from the first film, her only role in CoG and SoD has been reduced to 1) to be mad at Newt, 2) to go after Credence and then have that plot line dropped, and 3) to turn up at a wedding.

Other Characters: I want to see more of Lally because I fucking adore her! She’s probably my favourite female character after Tina! I want more of Theseus, and more of the Scamander brothers relationship! What happened to Nagini? I want to see more Jacob too, more Queenie, more Yusuf, and I even can’t wait to see any new characters that might appear! (They can keep Bunty tho lmfao her and her actress are trash - and yes, I am allowed to say that because I witnessed VY being shit in person so yeah fuck her)

The Beasts: Umm, hello??? Warner Bros are really going to deny us more of Teddy the Niffler??? More of Pickett??? The Baby Nifflers??? I want to see more Mooncalves, more Fwoopers, more magical creatures! The series is literally called “Fantastic Beasts”, can we PLEASE have more beasts???

The Cast: I just love so many of our cast and miss the days where they seemed to be enthusiastic about the franchise - now the only ones who seem excited anymore are Eddie and Mads (and VY but like I said she’s stuck up so f*ck her) I miss seeing Eddie and Katherine on screen together, I miss the Fantastic Foursome of Eddie/Katherine/Dan/Alison on-screen together. I want to see more of Mads as Grindelwald despite the controversy surrounding his casting. I love Callum and Jessica and Jude, and want to see more of them.
