"Uh....dude. You say it's that simple, but I doubt you. I don't believe you. ALSO I'm good t-thanks. Besides, I am peeeerfectly fine. I ain't concerned at all." These two need a therapist just like everyone else.
"I....don't think that's how it works. What if something reminds you of ya know...The things? THEN you end up a crying mess in front of your date." How embarrassing. "Imagine that being your first date. Damn."

Hi!
Can we get a part 2 for fyolup? She came to visit Neteyam at the metkayina and wears bikini for swimming. Aonung seems to eye her and neteyam turns into a protective jealous bf
Oooooooooooh gotta love a jelly na'vi bf! Hope you like this one!
Fyolup pt1
-----------------
Fyolup: Eyes on me
When neteyam was told that his cute fyolup was coming with Norm to the metkayina village, he was over the moon. How he missed her so much! There was so much neteyam to tell her. What he learned, how his new life settled, but most of all, how much he has grown. And of course show off what he is capable of. Not to mention his new tattoos on his arm.
Already neteyam has things planned out for when she arrives. A full day of great activities, some including his siblings and some just for them two. Just thinking about it gets him riled up.
But also, Neteyam wonders what cute clothing fyolup would wear? Something suitable but also stylish to fit her taste. Of course, knowing her, fyolup would wear something for his eyes only and no one else.
“Neteyam!”
The sweet sound of the voice he longed to hear again called out to him. On the sandy beach, not too far from him stood was fyulop. She has grown a lot in the past few months. Wearing his favorite teal summer dress, and a bright smile on her cute face.
Unable to hold it in, neteyam makes a run for it, and so does fyulop. Meeting each other in the middle, the girl jumps into his arms as he holds her tightly as he spun her around. Loud laughter escaped their lips, wide smiles and great happiness. For fyulop, it felt so good to be back in her lover’s arms. The feel of his skin touching hers, hearing his voice again. She missed it so much.
Not putting her down, rather carrying her on his shoulder, they stare at each other's eyes and foreheads touching. “I missed you ma’sevin” neteyam whispers to her ear. Humming in agreement, she nods. “And I have missed you ma’yawne” she replies. Having not rush to go back home, neteyam takes his time to show her firstly the grand beach. Holding her tightly so that she doesn't fall, not like she will. Neteyam starts to talk, letting his mind wander on recent memories.
And fyulop is all more eager to listen.
“Neteyam, while I appreciate you looking at me for a long time, I am having self doubts now. Does it look good or not…?” Fyulop asks nervously. When she revealed her swimsuit, neteyam was in deep awestruck. He couldn't help but stare at her.
Her swimming outfit was a two piece. Strapless top with a matching bottom that was light blue with thin waving white lines. Giving the illusion of underwater lighting. To add to her personal touch, fyulop collected small shells from the beach and added it to her swimsuit. It is the little things that make things stand out more.
“I'm sorry love, it's just…oh eywa you look breathtaking” neteyam praises. Red hue colored fyulop’s cheeks. She certainly missed his praises.
Offering his hand, fyulop accepts. “Come on, there is so much I want to show you” neteyam tells her excitedly. Taking her from his family pod, he carefully leads her through the rather bouncy paths. Fyulop couldn't help but giggle as she bounces her way. It was like jumping on a trampoline!
“Here, this is an ilu, like the dire horses at home. The people here use like in similar ways” neteyam explains while gently holding his ilu. Fyulop strokes its head gently, liking the pleasing sounds. And the ilu makes a sound of happiness, nudging his head against hers.
“He likes you” neteyam comments.
“I'm glad, cause I like him too. Such an adorable cutie you are” fyulop says in her baby voice.
Not far from where they are, ao’nung, rotxo, and lo’ak were nearing the shore with their ilu’s. Ao’nung noticed the human girl, his eyes fixated on her.
“Hey lo’ak, who is that?” he asks while pointing at fyulop. Lo’ak sees where he pointing at, “oh, that is fyulop. She came with our uncle norm to visit. Don't worry, she is harmless' ' lo'ak answers. But Ao'nung still couldn't stop staring at her or her pretty smile.
“Is she single?”
“Hey fyulop, long time no see” Lo’ak welcomes the human girl with glee. Giving each other a warm hug, lo’ak joins in on whatever she and neteyam were doing. “So you are just going to ignore us lo’ak?” Rotxo teases behind the forest boy. Chuckling a bit, lo’ak shakes his head. “Right, sorry”.
Gently pushing ao’nung and rotxo in front of him, he points at who is who, “fyulop, this is ao’nung and rotxo. Guys, this is fyulop, she was born and raised here in pandora like spider” lo’ak introduces.
Fyulop giggled lightly, something that made ao’nung blush a tiny bit. Her giggles sounded so cute. He looks over and sees neteyam staring down at her with love and adoration. Crap, are they together? Hopefully not.
“Nice to meet you both. I hope you treated neteyam and his family well?” Fyulop asks. This made the boys chuckle nervously. “What? What happened? Did you guys fight each other?” Fyulop asks curiously.
“Well…you see..”
“Skxawngs. All of you. Especially you neteyam. It is much for lo’ak to start but for you to continue it?” Fyulop gently scolds the boys as they tell her about their rough start of getting along. She gently tugs neteyam’s ear while making a playful yet serious face. Neteyam couldn't help but chuckle, her fingers were to ticklish!
Ao’nung saw their interaction, feeling his tail thump against the sand rather harshly.
“Speaking of, how much has neteyam showed you of our home?” he asks, switching the subject. Fyulop took a moment to think, “so far the pods, the beach and the cute ilu’s” she replies. Ao’nung make a clicking sound, shaking his head. “Clearly he is skipping the more exciting stuff. Why not let me show you the better parts of our home?” he offers.
Fyulop gasps happily, “really?” she asks.
“Of course, what better guide than me?”
Fyulop looks up to neteyam, her eyes already asking the question. He sighs, “he is right, but still”.
Taking the chance, ao’nung gets up and gently grabs fyulop’s hand already leading her the way. As he and fyulop began to chat, neteyam, lo’ak and rotxo looked at ao’nung with a surprised expression on their faces.
“Oh no he didn't”
“Oh yes he did”
“And here is where we mostly trade things. Fish for beads, seaweed for grains, just about anything. There is something for everyone” Ao’nung shows fyulop the common areas that the na’vi spend their time. He showed her all the best places, ao’nung was pretty proud and a bit smug too. Getting cute reactions from fyulop was a treat. Even better to see neteyam fuming behind them.
Fyulop was enjoying sightseeing. The metkayina was so vastly different from the omatikaya! From how they look, to their ways, culture and style of clothing. Already fyulop had ideas of creating ocean inspired clothing. Maybe style it similar to how the metkayina do.
Neteyam on the other hand did not enjoy it. Nope. Not one bit.
If looks could kill, ao’nung would be deep in the belly of an akula.
Ao’nung had the sheer balls to not only touch fyulop but also hug her! Fyulop’s hugs are exclusive to neteyam only! Ok maybe his siblings too but mostly him! And too see that puny fishy skxawng touching his beloved made his anger rise deep within.
And poor fyulop, took caught up in the new experiences didn't notice what fishlips was clearing trying to do.
Well, as her boyfriend and protector, neteyam knows what slimy things that fishy na’vi prince can do.
If ao’nung knew just how easy it was to sway fyulop to trust him, he would have done it on the spot! Fyulop is just so cute and her clothing suits her figure. Actually, speaking of her clothing.
Ao’nung haven't really seen much of how humans dress. So to see this human girl dress in a certain way excites him. There is a lot to learn and see something new within fyulop and hopefully be closer to her.
However, as days pass, almost as if on purpose, ao’nung takes fyulop’s time most of the day. Taking her wherever he wants, personally teaches her many things neteyam wanted to show her, among other things. And would shove the poor forest boy to the side. Giving no room for neteyam to intervene.
And it was pissing neteyam off.
Having enough of it, he did the only thing he knew best.
“You know fyulop, you interest me a lot. It would be nice if you stayed longer. Spending time with you has been a lot of fun” Ao’nung tells fyulop. Together they walk across the sandy shores, the small waves of the sea barely touching their feet.
“It certainly has been a lot of fun. And while living here seems like a good idea, I worry for neteyam. He already has enough stuff to worry about”
Ao’nung makes an annoyed sigh. “I doubt that. But either way, at least think it over. We could have a lot more fun. Together”. He holds fyulop’s hands into his larger ones. Making eye contact and hopefully what he is trying to do works.
Only it didn't.
Fyulop was gently yanked back by an angry neteyam.
“I think you had enough time with her,” Neteyam says. Trying his best not to hiss at ao’nung. But the reef prince scoffs a bit smugly. “And who are you to choose for her? She can do what she wants”.
“You’re absolutely right ao’nung” Fyulop agrees.
The boy smirks at neteyam who only glares harder.
“That means I can do this”
With a gentle yet quick yank from his necklace, neteyam was yanked down and was given the most passionate kiss ever.
Fyulop was kissing him as if to prove something. And boy did neteyam enjoyed it. With zero hesitation, neteyam kisses back, laughing on the inside. If he were to have a fourth finger right now, he would be flipping it in ao’nungs face.
“And, what I want to do is spend my time with my sweet neteyam. Thank you ao’nung for showing me, but I think neteyam can take it from here” fyulop says with a not so innocent smile.
Ao’nung was shocked, flabbergasted, speechless, and everything else. Damn it.
“You heard her skxawng” Neteyam says with a victorious smirk on his face. Clicking his tongue, ao’nung leaves in defeat.
With a happy cheer, neteyam picks up his love and spins her around.
“You were so jealous~” the girl teases as she boops his nose. But neteyam caught her finger, gently nibbling it. “And you watched me. Didn't do anything to ease my heart” neteyam accuses. This made fyulop stroke his ears as she leans closer and asks in a cooing manner, “Than what can I do to ease your jealous heart?”
He grins and replies “you know what”
Aaaaaaaand that is it for this one! Was cute to write. Until next time! See ya!

Hello hello! Anon here. First of all, congratulations on getting accepted for your courses! Don't worry about trying to balance work and the blog, we will always be here waiting for you. Second of all, your whole Yutu AU has been really fascinating to look through. (Though that may be because of my bias toward Fire Emblem Awakening, as it was what got me into the series) Sorry for the incoming wall of text, but it's been giving me THOUGHTS.
So imagine this: whoever Yutu's dad is (I'll pick Azul for this example because I headcannon his English voice somewhere between Matt Mercer's Chrom and Olivert from The Legend of Heroes games) finds out who Yutu really is. You remember that cutscene after Chapter 13 in Awakening, with the Lucina reveal and Chrom has this: "You deserved better than a sword and a world full of troubles. I'm sorry."? Imagine Yutu hearing something like that: the acknowledgement of everything he's gone through, the pain of knowing his dad couldn't do anything and can't do anything more than offer words, and the reality that it might now be really possible to change the future? I imagine Azul breaking down after hearing all that because the last thing he wants to do is hurt Yuu or his son after everything he's been through. Oh goodness, the two of them both need hugs.
Second: did Crowley tip off the Magic Marshalls (because I think he would) and force Yuu to take the blame for his negligence (because he absolutely would)? Now imagine Yutu finding this out and telling his dad. Now his dad knows Crowley is a cheapskate who fobs his work onto everyone else without a second thought. And now he's responsible for having Yuu taken away and starting all this? Knowing the boys and how far they would go for Yuu I'd imagine they don't take that well. In other words, to slightly alter a quote from Regina in Once Upon A Time: "I guess killing a crow suddenly made the top of my to-do list."
Sorry for the wall of text but that's been rattling around in my head for a few days (so make of it all what you will). Hope you're doing well and looking forward to what's next!
-The anon who loves Riddle & Azul
AHHHHH (i feel like I always take forever to answer your asks I am sosososososososososo sorry, this one just drove me crazy in a good good way)
Listen fire emblem awakening was my entire personality for like all of middle school. The only thing i wanted to talk about was chrobin. I celebrated Morgan and Lucina's birthdays by drawing them. I think I still have a Cherche x Libra fan art thing I drew on some sheet of paper somewhere in my things because I was SO MAD that no one shipped them and I couldn't find fan art of them anywhere and I just oooooooooooh. THE WAY CHROM GETS A NEW CRIT LINE ABOUT HOW ANYTHING CAN CHANGE AFTER THE REVEAL???? BECAUSE OF HOW DETERMINED HE IS TO KEEP THAT PROMISE AND GIVE LUCINA A BETTER WORLD???? i just cant be normal about them i am so sorry. R+A annon I love you, I love you so much for this you made my entire month and possibly my year. Awakening is also what got me into the series and made me so many friends I just love her so much. She's an icon and I hope she gets remastered with Sumia either deleted or with a fucking personality.
I should probably sit down and actually write a timeline for myself of events, but since I am free to lean in to the fire emblem pacing, I want to say that monsters from Yutu's timeline start showing up (similar to how the Risen do in Awakening) in the past and stirring up trouble, which leads to an event where Yutu panics and forgets himself in his desperation to protect his dad. The main way the future kids always proved themselves was by showing their mother's wedding ring, but Yutu doesn't have that so really it's just up to his dad to see someone who looks like him and Yuu blended together, supposedly from Yuu's world using magic and above all else crying out and driving up his own blot levels to protect him calling him dad. For Azul! Yutu it's especially painful, he feels like he already knows what his dad is going to say. That he's disappointed in him. That he has no idea how they could possibly be related. That he hopes in this future he turns out to be different. But that's not what happens.
Before Azul overblotted he was quiet. There's a similar quiet over him now, a similar look of tense surprise, but Yutu- no- his child doesn't know that. His child is looking at him in fear, in worry for his reaction or his safety he doesn't know but he knows the way those tears start to form. Azul knows the quiver of the lip and the shriek, of all the things he could have passed on to such a treasure.
"You deserved better from me." Because it's true. He might think of himself as a work in progress but he still thinks he has quality; he would have done research, read every book he could get his hands on, taken classes, anything he would need to do to be a good father, a worthy partner. Anything. "You deserved to have the world within your grasp, not whatever shadow of a future and a father I left you with. I am so sorry." He does not expect Yutu to grab him and hold him like he's still somehow worthy of his love, but Azul can't fight the urge to grab back, to stroke his son's hair and let the tears fall on his suit without any care at all. I'm here. It's ok, daddy's here, daddy's got you, he won't let anything happen to you.
As for your second question, I did not really write Crowley like that no. It was more like he was the first person mysteriously arrested after the Magical Marshall's decided to finally do their job. I was writing it like they wanted to ship Yuu away to cover up for their own incompetence in preventing seven overblots instead of properly investigating what might have caused that. He's not completely innocent though, so yes. The boys do not take it well at all. And please do not apologize for sending in your thoughts, I am so so slow but I love hearing from you.

MCL New Gen Ep. 7 Review
As I'm getting ready to play episode 8, I'm taking the time to finish my ep 7 review!! Stay tuned as I plan to play it right after I post it, so my long awaited (let's pretend) opinion on the controversial episode 8 will come soon!!
As per usual, everything goes below the cut!
Let's start with some of the screenshots I took, since I believe these are what I mainly wanted to talk about!
This doesn't have much relevance, but I thought it was funny since it used to happen to me too, I've learned to keep the volume of my computer muted and I've realized it doesn't make any sounds at start up, but it still happens sometimes that I forget the volume all the way up after I showed my work to my boss the previous day, and I always get startled by it in the morning,, (I edit videos and I usually tend to keep the volume on the low, but he's always complaining thay he can't hear it so he turns it up so much that pretty much all the office can hear it, unnecessary but very funny at times since we usually joke about it😭)
Most hated moment for me so far, It made me so incredibly uncomfortable and that's because I've hears these exact words, in a much more negative way, and it kind of triggered the bad memories that come with it
I find it INSANE that Candy's mother would rather her adult daughter get late at her job because of her other daughter, that's also skipping classes, is occupying the bathroom
Others have pointed out that how come a renowned architect such as her mother, planned a house with only one bathroom?? I'm NOT buying the whole "you both will eventually move out" thing because then what's the point of giving them their own rooms? for future guests? she seriously made a huge-ass house, pool included, to only have one bathroom? Stupid as fuck and NOT THOUGHT AT ALL on Beemoov's part (what a surprise...)
And since I've been in a similar situation, let me tell you that this is the most egoistic thing a mother can say. Who knows when she'll get to move out? Why make them suffer like this just because you were too lazy to make another bathroom?
My real life version of course doesn't exactly involve bathrooms, but my mom decided to buy a house that's fit for a single person/couple, and there's three of us living here, so I ended up having to share a room (and king-sized bed) with my sister that is 10 years older than me with whom I have a strained relationship, the lack of privacy and time to myself is still impacting my everyday life, and don't let me start talking about the storage space because it's critical.
Her decision to buy this house when she fully knew that I definitely wouldn't manage to get my own place that soon was so egoistical, we've told her plenty of times but she never listened and went on.
I wasn't that sure about Zahra and Tasha, but after this episode I definitely do not like them at all, I don't know if Beemoov did it on purpose, I doubt it, but there's definitely nothing funny about this. Especially since Zahra's expression wasn't the one of someone that's joking, she looked almost angry at us for "complaining"
They're communicating telepathically because they're both on the spectrum 🤭
oooOOOOooooh! Someone is jealous!! I didn't expect him to say something about it (Thomas was the one that found her in the mirror maze with Jason) but I'm actually so glad, I didn't know I needed this until I got it... I also love how she's low-key teasing him about it "I'm sure he would've been happy to do it..." HEHEHE
HER AWKWARD SMILE MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH I literally had to stop for a second just to laugh at this,, It was so silly and fun,,
-----------------------------------------
I felt a little bad for Petronilla during the visit, at first I thought it was hilarious but then OF COURSE Jason had to be a b*tch about it!! Maybe it was his way to get "revenge" about her teasing earlier... Also, stupid for both me and her to think that he'd behave 😭😭🙏🏻 I should've seen it coming,, And yeah, if I were in her position I'd react the same way, even if I didn't experience what she experienced with Ioan.
All that made up stuff, if not cleared up, could damage someone's reputation so much! Low-key disgusting behavior on his part, but since he felt genuinely sorry and tried ro console her (after being a dick...) It made up for the suffering 🥲👍🏻
So far, imI enjoyed this episode and how chaotic it was, I kinda feel bad for Petronilla since being with Jason is nice in a way but sooo stressful in another, but I've been enjoying every bit of his route so far, I love his more gentle and caring moments, and I can't wait to see what's coming next! I hope they keep the sweetness of it and don't turn him into some kind of bdsm king or something because that would 100% ruin it all for me, I'd seriously start a history replay and maybe switch to Thomas's or Amanda's routes😭🙏🏻
THE SCENE WAS EVERYTHING I fear I can't stop winning in New Gen, first Jason mendal omg, second the story being PERFECT for my oc and so far it's even better than I could even imagine... THEN I GET A CHANCE TO GET STUPID PACK THAT'S BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW IT??
Only thing I'm missing is a change in the Style contests to make it more fair for everyone AND THEN THAT'S IT, THEY TAILORED THIS GAME FOR MEEEEEE (I'm just being silly but it's all coming together so nicely that I literally love everything about new gen and it keeps getting better and better...)
-----------------------------------------
This ^^^ whole part bellow the Illustration I wrote right after the episode as I was laying down the screenshots to prepare the review... And now Beemoov has confirmed that they're reworking the voting system... I may be something's harbinger after all... Everyone ask me anything, apparently I'm the true fortune teller/jk
The last bit "it's getting better and better" might've aged horribly seeing what others think about episode 8 but I'll have to see for myself 😭👍🏻
I think I've wrote less than usual once again, but I'll blame it on time passing and me forgetting 🥲 I'm also currently dying my hair so I might be a little distracted,,
I don't have anything else to add, so thank you for reading! See you soon with another review, that I'll try to have ready in time and not after months,,

LIVE VENGEANCE SAGA REACTION!!!!!!!!
Here I am totally on time and not two weeks late. In my defense ☝️ I moved to another continent and got sick (the events are not correlated). I'm still sick, but the thought of being able to hear Poseidon and Hermes in the same saga was irresistible. Onward!
Not Sorry for Loving You
The kalimba is lulling me into a false sense of security.
CALYPSO JUMPSCARE
My boy Ody can finally leave!!!! In yo face bish!!!!
EXQUEEZ ME? "I'm sorry my love's too much for you"? I know a guilttrip apology when I see one! At the very least have the decency to have a good beat!
"Let me speak" NO TF I WON'T
Is she gonna shut up any time soon? 😐
Ody??????? Oh, phew.
Wait, wait, I heard those strings before....but where
Dangerous
★WHOOOO HERMES I'M COMING DAHLING★
AH! "Full Speed Ahead" melody jumpscare! JAY I NEED A WARNING!!!! OH MY GOD THERE'S ONLY SILENCE IN PLACE OF THE CHORUS CALLBACK!!!! CUZ THEY'RE DEAD
YEEEEESS
HERMEEEEEEES!!!!!! I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAAAAAN
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUUUUU
💃💃 "It's gonna get a little bit ✨dangerous✨" 💃💃
(fair warning, I'm gonna be completely useless for the rest of this song, I will be dancing and nothing else)
Odysseus finally sounds like he has some life back in him.
"We went through so much to get this" why do I have the feeling Hermes just hit up Aelous like "hello ✨dahling✨ would you happen to have a spare wind bag?" and Aelous was just like "oh yeah sure, np"
WINIONS!!!!
Ah <3 Hermes you magnificent trickster, you. Come back anytime!
Charybdis
★Charybdis! The ✨SUPERIOR✨ sea monster. Yeah, that's right, Scylla slander. Come at me★
Oh damn, that's loud.
Is Charybdis gonna be voiced? Because if Scylla can sing, so can he. If he's not, I will be severly disappointed (but not too much cause I got Hermes back)
It's so good to hear Odysseus with life back in his voice :)
I'm sorry, was that electric guitar? Is it because of Charybdis or because Odysseus isn't very human anymore? Food for thought.
Are those howls Charybdis? No singing? :( damn, fuck me ig.
I'm scared, this is too good to be true, what's the catch?
I knew it. What is it this time?
Get In the Water
★POSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDONPOSEIDON I GET TO HEAR STEVEN RODRIGUEZ'S VOICE AGAIN WHAOOO THREE CHEERS FOR SWEET REVENGE(ANCE SAGA)★
Oooh, the temperature just skyrocketed 🥴
YESSIR I'M DIVING 🚣
Poseidon <3 you can do whatever you want, it's fine bbg <3
I mean...an eye for an eye ig?
Damn, trying for open arms one last time? 🥹
What just happened? Why the water sounds
AAAAAAA
AAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAA
I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE MENTIONED IT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
JAY STOP REPRISING "OPEN ARM" I AM NOT GOING TO LIVE TO THE ITHACA SAGA AT THIS RATE
EURYLOCHOS???????
Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow that fucking HURT.
Six Hundred Strike
The title is making me nervous....
Damn, that's some boss fight music.
That's the Aelous theme tho? Is he gonna use the wind bag???
WHERE'S THE CHORUS COMING FROM?????
YOU TELL HIM ODY!!!!
STORM REPRISE!!!!!
FULL SPEED AHEAD REPRISE!!!!
What an anime ahh attack name /pos
So like, are... the ghosts... helping him...?
But...he didn't open the bag tho :/
Bitch are you THREATENING A GOD????? Also beating us over the head with that "gods can't die" thing, huh? (ATHENA ISN'T FUCKING DEAD YOU MORONS)
That's the same melody as "Different Beast"!!!
...the fact that I have no visuals kinda dampens my understanding of wth just happened. Can someone fill me in? For now I'm choosing to believe he chucked a Uno reverse card at his forehead.
Even Poseidon is like "damn, chill bruh"
Oooooooooooh FUCKING OWNED
#ok full disclosure i thought poseidon said “to be me” instead of “beat” in 600 strike#and i thought he was referencing how much trouble the ruthlessness philosophy has brought him#aight its 1am i gotta hit the hay#but before i go#poseidon's voice <33333#that is all#epic the musical#epic the wisdom saga#my post#my post (epic the musical)#epic reactions

meursault’s antagonist will probably be someone who holds oswald’s worldview of expectations being stupid cause i really cant see how theyll fit the carnival theme in there.
musicians of bremen hmm….possibly someone who worships something that was incredibly destructive (ie the musicians worshipped the pianist and its pretty obvious outis did something terrible in that war)
rodion and greta both came from the backstreets and had some incredibly violent lives. faust and eileen could be a very literal connection via gears and also how shes implied to just view herself as someone doing her orders and nothing beyond that. no clue about philip and gregor.
oooooooooooh shrimpteresting!!! these are good thoughts
its hard to tell as time goes on esp bc we have more sephirah than sinners, so after ryoshu it gets tricky, but honestly when we see it we'll go OH OF COURSE IT WAS THAT i bet tbh

Pride, Prejudice, & Mistletoe (2018)
I am watching a Christmas Hallmark movie in September, because I love all of you (and also hate you enough to subject you to it)
Our main character lady is Darcy Fitzwilliam, Nyc investor. She is kind, as we know because she knows her regular coffee vendor and about his family - his son just got early entry to Stanford!
Her mom is last minute throwing the Pemberley League holiday auction because the other people dropped out last minute, so they've gotta throw this together in 7 days. What's the bet she's going to a small town for the holidays? (if you bet against me on this, you lose. Pemberley, Ohio.)
(Also twice now in the first 5 minutes they've brought up that the firm has high investment minimums and Darcy does not agree with that. First with coffee man and second with one of the other partners who started the firm with her, who's like don't worry just go enjoy your vacation. I sense this will have absolutely zero terrible repercussions down the line.)
Her ex of a month, Carl, works for her dad - who cleared his schedule and ordered him to pick her up from the airport. He believes they are meant to be together and is willing to wait. She is like yeahhhhhhhh no but we can be friends?
3 months ago someone bought out a local restaurant, is new to the catering scene but his food is amazing. Mom just hired him for the thing and he's gonna come by the house tomorrow. Is he the love interest? (I can't tell just from the photo because they're all generic white men)
Her best friend(?) is dating Jim Bennett, brother of Luke Bennett - caterer guy - who it's revealed Darcy had a silly high school rivalry with. I'm so good at this. When they meet for dinner there is banter. Not mean, just kinda... bantery. She's like "he hasn't changed" because they love to correct each other?
Dad wants Darcy to work at his company, but she wants to do things on her own.
Darcy just found out Luke will be working together - mom didn't realize they knew each other but they were on the debate team together.
Luke is trying to provide a great vision that he has. Darcy interrupts because she wants to implement her vision. Mom says great, work together.
Darcy is like look I know what I'm doing and you don't. Luke is like, uh, we're equally skilled in other capacities but new to applying it in this situation, chill out.
Carl meets them on the street and both men kind of puff out their chests. [eyeroll]
Darcy has been decorating, but her parents are like go to the party tonight, have fun. Darcy's assistant calls and tells her there's a secret partner meeting she specifically wasn't invited to, so Darcy is like don't tell anyone I know but if you could patch me in via videoconference that would be fantastic.
She does admit to Luke at the party that stuff is going on at work and he's like hey, I'm a good listener. There's stuff going on at your company, there's that guy who works for your dad....maybe I can help. "I don't need help" she insists. [eyeroll] But on the way out they are both under the mistletoe (oooOOOOooooh) He tries to convince her to bend to tradition but she leaves.
Brother's wife announced pregnancy! He has the perfect life. Darcy is like hmm. "My life doesn't seem to be progressing. Maybe I'll just never be satisfied." Her wise brother says "Maybe you're just looking for satisfaction in all the wrong places."
The custom tree designer dropped out. The local lot donated some trees. Mom called Luke to help her pick them up with his truck. Darcy insists she can do everything on her own and doesn't need help. Luke is like uh are you sure? as she tries to pick up a tree bigger than her by herself. She insists she does not need help. [eyeroll] After making a disaster of the lot and knocking everything over, she accepts his help.
Finally, they are talking about how they were always jealous of the other person because it seemed like they had it so easy, but they both felt they had to work twice as hard to prove they deserved the benefits they got.
Darcy patched into the video conference room and is like "hey everyone!" The rest of the partners are awkwardly looking at each other. Everyone else agrees that the investment minimum needs to stay, and either get on board or get out. She is not going to sell her shares in the company. "Understood," says the other partner, and says they'll table it until after the new year.
Darcy found a new designer for the trees and this time, she didn't hesitate to call Luke for help [hooray! growth! thank goodness I'm not forced to hate her]. Luke asks her to take a break and go enjoy a caroling event, and she agrees!
They are reminiscing about the late Mr. Bennet, who was a good guy and they always had a dream to open a restaurant together. Luke is talking about how it has forced him to reevaluate and seize opportunities. Darcy admits that feeling is why she broke things up with Carl. "I knew it, I knew there was something about that guy!" "Did the crippling awkwardness give it away?" she asks. "Could've been the daggers he's been staring at me." She admits he's a good guy, frankly the perfect guy on paper. He admits that's what his last relationship was too. She's like that's why I took a step back this week. "The question is - do you really want to step back in?" They're under the mistletoe again! They have A Moment where she says he's every ounce the man his dad was, and kisses him on the cheek.
After a long day of decorating, the family invites Luke to stay for cocoa. Ticket sales are worrying low. Now when Luke is helping problem solve, Darcy is seconding his ideas. They have Another Moment when they light the family tree and she says "so pretty" while Luke can't tear her eyes away from her.
The other partner at the firm is poaching Darcy's best client. She's upset that the one time she didn't do something alone she's getting betrayed. Luke is like hey it's okay to trust people, some of us still know your worth.
Luke offers to waive his catering fee. They are having all sorts of lovely times, including an impromptu snowball fight. Good job Hallmark, I'm actually rooting for these two
Uh oh. Another call from her assistant. The other partner is poaching her clients left and right. She's having a late night heart to heart with her dad about what to do next.
She's helping Luke in the kitchen as much as she can, and it involves dancing to holiday music. She says that he's lucky because he knows what he wants, and can work for it. She isn't sure what she wants - she cares less about the money and more about the clients behind the money. She believes she can make a difference, if her company would let her. He assures her she's making a difference in other ways.
Darcy is confiding that she knows she can never get back with Carl and needs to tell him. Her friend is like is it Luke? I bet it's Luke. Darcy waves away the idea but she's like yeahhhhh I have eyes. "It'll never work, we live in two different cities." "Darcy you haven't been happy for a while now. Maybe it's time to change things up."
Oh no! It's last minute and the extra servers were double booked and won't be there. The family is going to help out! And some kids showed up because they're gonna be singing but want to help out setting up. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Darcy asks Luke. "I hope so," he replies, "because my idea is brilliant."
The party has started and Darcy took Luke's breath away. Guess who's at the party - her best client! He had been off the grid for a few days and tells her that he would never jump ship because he didn't trust the other partner's integrity after she left messages spreading lies. She tells him she might leave the firm due to their different visions, and he assures her he'll follow her to a different firm.
Luke has someone who wants to invest in his restaurant. Everything is going well and Darcy and Luke are dancing. Darcy is going to confess that she's made a big decision about something she wants - but Carl cuts in and says Mom needs to talk to her.
Carl takes her to the kitchen and is like hey. We fit. We make sense. Luke shows up in the doorway and stands, listening to Carl talk about how she would never be happy with Luke. "Carl, you are such a good man," she begins, and Luke leaves [eyeroll] before he can overhear Darcy tell Carl it's not enough and that they both deserve better - they deserve real love. Carl actually is a good guy because he accepts this and wishes her the best. (I'm a sucker for the secondary love interest)
Luke is like hey I need some air, Darcy just got back together with her ex. Her friend is like bullshit lemme go find her, but Luke is like I saw it happen, and goes outside.
Darcy is talking to her dad, who the whole time has been wishing she would join his company, and agrees that she will if she can run a branch of it the way she wants - with no investor minimums, a special branch for low income people or companies, and open a charitable foundation. He agrees, of course. She's so happy!
She tells her brother she's thinking about staying in town. He's excited. She goes outside looking for Luke, and finds her friend who is like Luke said he saw you and Carl get back together and then got really upset - we can't find him anywhere. His phone is off.
His brother offers her his car so she can go find him, and there Luke is! He was talking to that investor. She sets him straight about Carl, and admits that her heart belongs to him. The news she wanted to tell him was that she was moving back to Pemberley. They're under the mistletoe again and this time, they finally kiss. A bunch. The end.
I'm noticing that these Hallmark movies end with the kiss. No epilogue, no scenes of them happy together, just kiss.
I guess this follows the premise of they are both proud and have a bit of prejudice, but in the same way as

do you mind doing a dragonslayer version of time traveling to beacon dance or maybe a Pyrrha from a time line where Jaune went to the tower instead of her.
Gosh! Look at me, Mr. Popular! Is it still Arkos Week? Ah, whatever, I'll make this my first RWBY Ship Week addition. Arkos 2022!
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: Ugh, my head.
Cardin: You knocked over the punchbowl, you jack- J-Jaune?
Jaune: Cardin? Where am I?
Cardin: I... I didn't-! (Falls to his knees) I'm sorry, Jaune! I didn't mean to-!
Jaune: Whoa! Uh, it's, uh, okay? There, there?
Yang: Cardin, what did you... do... No way. J-Jaune?
Jaune: Hey, Yang. I guess you're here, too. And you got smaller. And you have your... Is this Beacon?
Yang: Uh, yeah, where else would you be?
Jaune: (Stands up, Brushing himself off) Vacuo.
Yang: ...Okay, if this is a joke, I don't get it.
Jaune: I guess it's a long story. The dance looks good.
Yang: Th-Thanks.
Jaune: You okay? You look like you saw a ghost.
Yang: Uh, well... (Points to behind Jaune)
Jaune: Huh? (Sees a memorial with his picture, "Table reserved for Jaune Arc") Oh-Kaaaaaay... So, uh, I guess I'm dead, huh? But I'm not, I guess. I... I think I need a chair.
Yang: Yeah, yeah, sure! Uh, I guess you can sit at your table?
Jaune: Yeah, that sounds good. (Walks with Yang, Sits down) You couldn't find a better picture of me?
Yang: It was either you after getting knocked around by Cardin, or you throwing up after showing up.
Jaune: I guess I did some growing up, huh?
Yang: Heh heh, yeah...
Nora: HEY! GET AWAY FROM THERE!
Jaune: Huh?
Nora: That's Jaune's table! Who do you think you are?!
Jaune: Um, are you going to break my legs if I say, "I'm Jaune Arc"? (Nora growls) I'll take that as a yes. Who's in charge of Team JNPR now? Is it you or Ren?
Nora: Hmph! If you have to know, it's Pyrrha Nikos, and she would kick your butt!
Jaune: Well, she taught me everything she knew by doing that. Heh heh...
Ren: Nora? What's going on?
Nora: Some phony is trying to disrespect Jaune!
Ren: Jaune?
Jaune: Hey, Ren.
Ren: You're... alive.
Jaune: And kicking.
Yang: This is too weird.
Ren: Agreed.
Pyrrha: Ren? Nora? Is everything... J-Jaune?
Jaune: (Stands up) Pyrrha... You're...
Jaune and Pyrrha: You're alive?! (Wide-eyed)
Jaune: I... I think we should sit down. It's... It's probably been too long.
Pyrrha: Far too long.
---------------------------------------------------
Goodwitch: Are we going to do something?
Ozpin: Not yet. We're going to see how this plays out.
Ironwood: And if he's telling the truth?
Ozpin: Then we will test if he can create a better future than his own.
Goodwitch: It's a risky move.
Ironwood: Too risky.
Ozpin: It is a risk I am willing to take.
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: So, I died at Forever Fall.
Pyrrha: Instantly. Your aura was already worn down when the Ursa attacked you, (Chokes) so when you hit the tree-
Jaune: It's okay. I can put two and two together. Still, it's jarring there's a timeline where I died.
Pyrrha: I... I never got to say I'm sorry.
Jaune: (Puts his hand on hers) You don't need to. I already forgave you.
Nora: What about Cardin?
Jaune: I forgave him, too.
Nora: I didn't. I never will.
Jaune: Well, I can't force you. Especially if you're the same Nora I know.
Nora: What's she like?
Jaune: Strong. Stronger than me. She's also got some cool scars.
Nora: Ooh! Arm? Face?
Jaune: (Gestures entire body) From your neck and all the way down.
Nora: Sick! How did it happen?
Jaune: Uh, you know, I never asked. Ren would probably know more.
Ren: I don't want to know anything that might alter my future.
Jaune: Well, let me ask you this. Do you want me to help you get closure?
Ren: About what?
Jaune: You know.
Ren: ...I would.
Jaune: Then I'll get a team together after the dance is over.
Nora: How are you going to do that?
Jaune: With this! (Shows off his license)
Nora: OOOOOOOOOOOH! (Snatches it, Shows it off) SO COOL! (Runs off with it)
Ren: It's dated two years from now.
Jaune: I... might have to do some convincing.
Pyrrha: I was expecting Beacon. Did you change schools before graduation?
Jaune: That's... where it gets complicated. See, in my future, (Looks past her) I'm still alive and... Excuse me. (Stands up) I have to go make things right.
Pyrrha: Oh, uh, alright. (Sighs)
Ren: He's different. Confident, mature, intelligent, resourceful... hot.
Pyrrha: W-What?!
Ren: Oh, was I the only one who noticed?
Pyrrha: No! I mean, yes! I mean-
Ren: Pyrrha. He's not our Jaune, but he's still Jaune.
Pyrrha: You're right. I was too hesitant. I need to put myself out there more. I'm Pyrrha Nikos, and I'm going to... to... oh...
Ren: Hm? (Follows her gaze, Sees Jaune talking to Cinder) Oh no...
---------------------------------------------------
Cinder: May I have this dance?
Mercury: Sure, I don't see why-
Jaune: Actually, mind if I cut in?
Mercury: Uh, nothing to cut into, I guess.
Cinder: (Takes his hand) And you are?
Jaune: (Takes hers, Leads) Jaune Arc.
Cinder: Oh? I was under the impression you were dead.
Jaune: Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but looks can be deceiving, right, Cinder Fall?
Cinder: Oh, so you know me?
Jaune: A lot more than I would ever want to.
Cinder: And what do you know?
Jaune: I know who you work for. I know what you're after. And I know what you're willing to do to get it to satisfy both her and you.
Cinder: ...What do you want?
Jaune: I want you out.
Cinder: Oh? And why should I leave?
Jaune: Because if you don't leave on your own, I'll force you out.
Cinder: Is that a threat? (Dipped) Oh!
Jaune: It's a warning. The only one you'll ever get from me. (Brings her up, Steps away) Thank you for the dance. I hope we never meet again. (Walks away)
Cinder: How interesting...

Cabin Leader Zukka AU
Credit to @im-a-sokka-for-you, @waywarddork, @king-bumi-for-president, @sokkaseboyhair, and @crying-at-ikea for helping out with this monstrosity of a post!! Stupid Squad™ ily ❤️
This is long af but I promise it’s worth it 🥺🥺
Sokka and Zuko are rival cabin leaders at a summer camp
The camp has sort of a 4-elements theme because I say so
Eight Cabins. Two Water-Themed, two Fire Themed, two Earth-Themed, and Two Air-Themed.
Sokka leads the Southern Water Cabin. Yue the Northern. Aang leads one of the Air Cabins, and Suki leads an Earth Cabin. Zuko and Ty Lee lead the Fire Cabins. (Ty Lee shamelessly flirts with the assistant camp director, Mai...)
Sokka and Zuko’s cabins, along with all the other cabins, are competing in the yearly camp competition. There are different challenges, like water balloon fights (water), mud runs (earth), zip lining (air), and s’more roasting (fire).
Zuko’s cabin wins most years, and Sokka’s like “not this year. This year WE take the trophy” and he’s got his heart set on it.
Sokka thinks Zuko’s obnoxious. He sees him as hot-headed and snippy and arrogant. And he’s almost militaristic with his cabin kids. (And yet they love him. Even more annoying.)
Sokka wants to be the ✨fun cabin���, he usually does, but he starts pushing harder to advance to the next round of the competition and win.
Sokka and Zuko have multiple confrontations. They’re snarky and sarcastic “good luck out there😈” kind of things (which Sokka HATES)
The two cabins pull pranks on each other all the time. Very Parent-Trap-esque. Sokka and Zuko plan a lot of them, but that doesn’t stop the kids from doing a few on their own (I imagine some very lovable OC campers).
Sokka wakes up with a shaving-cream beard more than once.
Zuko wakes up wearing makeup once...
Then, as the story unfolds with whatever subplots a writer may put in, Sokka catches more and more glimpses of Zuko acting more human... and hey... Zuko’s sort of sweet when he’s like that...
No. This is a competition. Zuko bad. Winning good.
Sokka confides in Aang and Yue one night after a staff meeting.
“You don’t understand, guys! He’s—he’s infuriating! He’s good at everything, and the kids all like him, and I know I’m supposed to hate the guy but I don’t anymore! And I don’t know why! And part of me feels like he deserves to win every damn time even thought it’s ridiculous that he does-”
“Sokka.”
Aang looks at him almost sympathetically. Sokka tilts his head in confusion.
“Have you considered that maybe you just have a little crush on him?”
“WHAT?!”
“...”
“Oh. Shit.”
Anyway Sokka has a bit of an awakening and is like “OH NO I LIKE ZUKO I’M SUPPOSED TO HATE ZUKO.”
After panicking about that for way too long, Sokka winds up telling Suki about this revelation and Suki is like:
“Well... I don’t know if I should be telling you this, but I think Zuko’s had a crush on you for years.”
“WHAT THE FUCK.”
Suki sort of awkwardly admits that she’s picked up on it. She and Zuko are friends (something Sokka could never fathom why but he left it be) and she tells Sokka how Zuko talks about him... an absurd amount. And how Zuko, on more than one occasion, has accidentally called Sokka cute.
(i.e “just because he’s Mr. Cute and Friendly doesn’t mean he can walk around like he owns the place!” “You think he’s cute?” “What? Uh-”)
Leading up to the final face off where Zuko and Sokka’s cabins will compete against each other, Sokka leaves his campers with Suki for a few minutes and approaches Zuko’s cabin one night and asks to speak with him. Alone.
There’s a unanimous “oooooooooooh!” from the campers.
The two step outside, and Sokka’s freaking out, but he’s gonna do it anyway.
He’s really awkward about it and keeps beating around the bush.
“Just get to the point, Sokka!!”
“Um. Do you like me?”
That. Was not what he meant to say.
In all honesty, Sokka meant to say that he likes Zuko, and THEN ask him if he liked him back, but he panicked, give the guy a break.
Zuko’s face goes completely blank.
“Wait, what?”
Sokka, now suddenly convinced he and Suki were wrong, chickens out and bolts, Zuko calling after him. (He can’t chase him because he can’t leave his campers unattended.)
Sokka freaks out silently as he leads his campers back to his cabin for the night.
He doesn’t get much sleep.
Day of the big competition. The campers are getting ready for the final showdown. Zuko’s team is a few points ahead of Sokka’s, but not ahead by many.
Sokka avoids Zuko all morning. Aang, Yue, and Suki are worried about him but he brushes it off, saying it’s no biggie (it is).
Right before the first challenge he overhears one of his campers talking to someone from Zuko’s cabin. The kid from the opposing cabin says “Zuko was in a bad mood last night. He didn’t wanna tell us why, though.”
Oh no. It’s worse than he thought. Zuko is angry at sokka. More than usual.
The games begin. Both teams tally up points after each round of whatever they’re doing (three-legged race, canoeing, etc).
The final score is kept secret—the camp director (accompanied by Mai<3) says the final score will be announced that night at the campfire.
Sokka makes sure he doesn’t run into any scar-faced boys on the way to his cabin. Or at dinner. Or on his way to the campfire.
Everyone is gathered around outside, fire blazing, hot-cocoa and s’mores present. Sokka doesn’t even care about winning anymore. In fact, he hopes Zuko wins, so he doesnt get any more angry.
But
The Southern Water Cabin wins.
Sokka’s campers jump up and scream with excitement. And though he isn’t feeling quite himself, he still offers hugs and high fives and congratulates them all on their hard work.
Then, suddenly, while kids are mingling and cheering, Sokka feels a tap on his shoulder and spins around.
Zuko.
“Hi.”
Sokka can’t find words to say. He just stares. Is... is Zuko gonna yell at him?
“Good job.” Zuko’s holding out his hand for Sokka to shake. Sokka does so, hesitantly.
“Uh... thanks.”
After a moment too long, they end the handshake. There’s a beat of awkward silence and Sokka’s heart is racing.
“Look,” Sokka begins. “About last night. I-”
“Don’t. Me first.” Zuko looks really uncomfortable, but he still keeps talking. “You were right.”
“Huh?”
“I like you. I have liked you, I mean. For a long time. Like, three years.”
Sokka’s dumbfounded. “I thought you hated me.”
Zuko sort of nervously admits that he’s not very good with people (and that he takes great enjoyment in riling people up). And he apologizes like:
“Sorry I was a dick. Me being a fucking gay idiot who can’t ask people out doesn’t excuse me being mean. So I’m sorry.”
Sokka’s sort of touched by all of this. Zuko apologized for being an ass and he has a crush on Sokka?
Sokka figures he should apologize too, since he was pretty much just as mean to Zuko as Zuko was to him. “I’m sorry, too.”
Eventually, the stilted conversation gets sort of quiet and even more awkward, and Sokka realizes he still hasn’t confessed. And, well, better late than never.
“I like you, too.”
“Huh?”
“I like you. As in. Like. I have a crush. On you. So there.”
Zuko has no idea how to react, but eventually a giant grin makes its way into his face and it looks beautiful in the firelight and he just sort of goes:
“Um... do you wanna get coffee or tea with me? Or something? Now?”
“You mean the shitty camp coffee and tea?” Sokka quips.
“Hot Cocoa it is.”
They walk up to the kitchen building and hang out at the counter and actually get to know each other for the first time in years. And Sokka thinks that becoming a cabin leader is the best decision he’s ever made.
(They may or may not have kissed sometime during the rest of their stay. A couple of times. A lot of times. Okay, they made out in the pantry a ton, but that’s nobody’s business but theirs.)
If anyone wants to write this, lemme know!! And again thank you Stupid Squad™ <3 @chaoticidiott @appa-bottom-jeans @soft-zuko you’re also Stupid Squad™ so this is your child as well now. Enjoy.

Oh my god I finally got my family to watch the first episode of supernatural... Here's how it went :
-my little brother saw baby Sam and Dean and was surprised by their age gap, when I told him it was the same as ours he was very excited 😌
-as soon as John came on screen, my dad Did Not Like Him!
-My brother predicted Mary being in the ceiling and said it was obvious
-when John finds Mary and the fire starts, my dad started taking the piss out of John saying "oooOooOooOoh oh noOooOoOo dEANnnnn rUuUuuUuun". My Dad does not like John Winchester!
-on seeing 'Lawrence' on the side of the fire engine, my dad and brother unanimously decided that all of the firemen were called Lawrence.
-when Dean breaks into Sam's apartment and you can't tell who it is, my mum immediately said 'Castiel????? Is that cas!!???' and was very sad to hear he wasn't until season 4
-little brother was FURIOUS at Sam's attitude towards Dean's cassette tape collection, and even angrier that he called Metallica and motorhead rock. Was also angry about the fact they took the logos off the impala.
-brother was very angry at Sam and Dean for running on that bridge with the ghost when they apparently should have stood on the railing!
-my mum was very sympathetic for Sam and Dean when they found John's room. I'm pretty sure if they were real she'd adopt them!
-mum laughed at 'Is anything about you real?' 'My boobs.'
-when Dean's shown the coordinates my mum very solemnly said 'That's a hunters code, isn't it.'
-when Sam was talking to the woman in White's husband, my mum was very taken by the man's acting, whilst my brother laughed at his accent.
-At the bit Sam gets locked in the impala with the woman in white, my mum was very very worried about him. When she tries to kill him she literally said 'NOO!!! BUT SHE CAN'T DO THAT HE'S NOT BEEN UNFAITHFUL!!!'
-both my mum and brother took the piss out of dean for trying to shoot a ghost.
-when the woman in white's kids show up, my brother started analysing the cinematography (so basically he was probably scared and trying to distract himself)
-After Sam says he's gotta go back to stanford, and Dean is all upset, my mum got really sad and said 'but what's wrong with him?? Why doesn't he understand that Sam has to go!'
-When Sam gets back in his house both my mum and brother immediately started the 'oh no oh no oh no' that we all felt in that scene!
-upon seeing Jessica burn on the ceiling my brother starting yelling at Sam and calling him and idiot and telling him to get out.
-when they get out, my mum pretty much said 'but maybe she's not dead, maybe they can get her back!' to which my brother said 'did you see that fire??? I think she's dead!!!' my mum then said 'uh yeah but it's a spiritual show isn't it?? Can't they just do something to bring her back from the dead?' (she's a Winchester already!)
So yeah! They pretty much liked it! My brother said that he really didn't like Sam and he found him very annoying (which my mum didn't like because she said she found him gorgeous).

OOOOOOOOOOOH YES. LETS TALK ABOUT SOFIAS ACHILLES HEEL, HER TRUSTING HEART.
I always find it so endearing in the most god awful, Shakespearan tragedy-esque way when a characters greatest strength becomes their biggest flaw that induces the worst consequences imaginable.
I think that Sofia would suffer from logically knowing that second chances don't always work out (cuz I'm pretty sure she learned that same lesson in an episode prior to this? I dunno but yeah) while also just. Having a heavy heart knowing that her actions didn't just affect herself, it affected her friend even worse.
Adding on to the fact that wormwood was Cedric's only long lasting friend before Sofia, it just adds to the sad irony of it. I can imagine Sofia apologizing profusely about it to Cedric, and feeling a little too guilty to even face him. :(( with Cedric finding her alone somewhere and finally they can talk it out together.
Complete with Cedric hugging her and telling Sofia, "All you did was show me who my real friend was, in the end. I can't thank you enough for sticking with this **bumbler, Princess." (**Calling himself that in a more light hearted tone to get her to laugh)
random thought
I kind of wonder if Sofia regrets persuading Cedric to give Wormwood another chance in the episode “Hexley Hall” after she found out that wormwood left him for Prisma in the episode “In Cedric we trust”.
To me to would have been kind of interesting to know if Sofia felt slightly responsible for Cedric feeling betrayed again due to her second chance morality. That’s not to say that Sofia shouldn’t give people second chances or that Cedric didn’t benefit from learning this moral with Roland and Cordelia but I defiantly think it made Sofia be more aware that not all second chances end up as well as you want them too.

Here is some recommendations for the romantic partner thingy.
Mel and Fabio
Alto and April
Kira and Emil
Jason and Lydia
Let's go. Cause these seem funny and interesting
The bottom two are going to be treated as platonic, mostly because I really can't see Kira in a romantic relationship and Jason is a homosexual. Also mention of @multydoodles's oc Felix and Kierron who belongs to @rookvonhunt. (picrews linked here, here, here and here)
"Fabio is.........dear to me. He's an absolute sweetheart, and nothing but helpful even if he's slow on things. James and Carol have really helped him a lot. Me? W- Well I'm helping too but....he's just so much fun to be around...... H- He won't know about this right?"
"Oooooooooooh that demon chick from Höllejigoku!!! Well last time I visited she scammed me outta twenty madols so I gotta go back to get it!! But she's pretty cool! She's kinda my type! Her style's wicked and she was pretty funny. Wonder if she likes rock music........?"
"Emi's one of my best friends!!!!! He makes really cool things and he likes it when I share my snacks!!! Oh I should bring him and Felix to Dreamystar!! Then we can play games and catch butterflies and swim in the ocean and do all kinds of fun stuff!! Though Ron-Ron doesn't like him very much, I don't know why...?"
"Lydia, Lydia, why does that name sound familiar? Oh!! You mean that tall demon chick from RSA!!! Well I've seen her fight Kierron and lemme tell you, she's a fucking beast!! I might have talked to her before but I don't think she remembers me but I think she'd like my movies. Now her ex on the other hand, hellooooooo handsome~"

April 12, 2021: Mrs. Doubtfire (1992) (Recap)
Hey, Robin Williams. Been a while.
I’m sorry that I haven’t watched your movies for a while, and that I always skip your comedy stand-up when my phone’s on shuffle. I just...let me explain. Since I was a kid, you were one of my favorite entertainers. That might as well have started the day I was born, because...well, we share a birthday, fun fact. But it definitely continued with the first movie I ever saw in theatres.
While I don’t quite remember the first time I saw it, Aladdin was one of my favorite childhood movies, and I knew that you were the voice of the Genie from an early age. You might have actually been the first actor I ever knew by name. Which makes sense, because your stardom during the ‘90s was nearly unparalleled.
The next film I remember seeing (and hearing) you in was Ferngully: The Last Rainforest. That also starred Tim Curry, who would also be a major figure of my childhood. It also wasn’t the best movie, in hindsight, but it is the only time I’ve heard you rap since.
But eventually, I watched your forays into live-action, too. Jumanji, Hook, even the objectively bad Flubber, are all movies that I vividly remember watching during childhood. I was really excited for Flubber, even, and I LOVED Jumanji growing up. I liked Hook, too, but I appreciated that more as I got older.
Of course, during this time period, you also made less family-friendly films. The Fisher King, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam, and What Dreams May Come were all very successful, and cemented your reputation as an actor. I also haven’t seen any of them. In fact...I don’t think I’ve seen any of your dramatic roles, and that’s something that I’ll fix this year. Hell, in a few days, I’ll watch The Birdcage, another of your big hits of the ‘90s.
But why haven’t I seen them up to now? Well...I was going to watch these films, about seven years ago. But...I haven’t been able to bring myself to do it. Because it hurts. A lot.
I know that this is a downer, but my relationship with Robin Williams today is tainted by his tragic death. I was fucking BROKEN when his death was announced, and I really haven’t been able to watch him since. I’ve seen Aladdin recently, but that’s about all I could stand to watch. I mean, the guy shares a birthday with me! I’ve always loved his comedy stylings, and his improvisational skills are something I’ve internalized to a certain degree.
So, yeah. This one’s tough. But, it’s about time I moved on, and celebrated the man’s career for what it was: stellar. And that also brings up an important question, that some of you have probably asked by now:
HOW HAVE I MISSED MRS. DOUBTFIRE, WHAT THE FUCK
I KNOW I KNOW OK?
Look, I’m not entirely sure how I haven’t seen this movie, because I’m MORE than aware of it! I remember it airing during the ‘90s, my Dad AND girlfriend love this movie, and I know FOR A FACT that my family owned both the DVD AND THE VHS of this movie! So, how? HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN IT BY NOW?
I honestly have no idea, but let’s fix it now, huh? Yet one more man-dresses-as-woman movie this month! And no, I am not watching White Chicks...because I’ve already seen White Chicks. Also, it’s...problematic.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Recap
Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a voice-actor, and a good one. Which, given that it’s Robin Williams, isn’t entirely inaccurate. He’s also a voice actor with a spine, as he morally objects to a scene in the cartoon that he’s performing for, in which the main character smokes. By the way, I’m 99% sure that this cartoon is animated by Chuck Jones, and it looks well-made.
Anyway, this leads to him quitting the cartoon altogether, and allows him to pick up his kids early from school. These kids are Lydia (Lisa Hykub), Chris (Matthew Lawrence), and Natalie (Mara Wilson), and it’s Chris’ 12th birthday. Daniel arranges a...surprisingly large party, given that it’s completely impromptu, and it comes with a petting zoo and complete trappings. However, it’s not a party of which his wife will approve.
This wife is Miranda (Sally Field), a successful architect and the breadwinner of the family. After getting a call from the neighbor about the party, she comes home and busts the outrageous party. And for the record, I’m entirely on Miranda’s side here. This party is INSANE, and very irresponsible, given the fact that Daniel currently has no job. And yeah, he’s a very loving father, and a good person, but...it’s too much.
Miranda feels the same, and after 14 years of frustration, she realizes that she no longer loves Daniel. In a genuinely sad scene, she tells him that she wants a divorce. And she goes through with it MUCH to Daniel’s detriment. He has no home, as he’s staying with his brother, Frank (Harvey Fierstein) and his partner Jack (Scott Capurro). He also still has no job, meaning that he has no way to provide for his children. This means that he has no ability to provide, and the judge awards Miranda full custody. Oof.
However, this is a conditional arrangement, as another hearing for joint custody will be held in 3 months, and if Daniel can get a home and job in that time, he has a chance. He performs a litany of voices and impressions with his court liason, Mrs. Sellner (Anne Haney), which amuses me, but not her, and he gets a job in order to be with his kids for more than one day a week.
Meanwhile, Miranda IMMEDIATELY starts dating fellow designer and old flame Stuart Dunmeyer (Pierce Brosnan), like, almost before Daniel leaves the house. He bids a heartfelt goodbye to his kids, with the promise that he’ll see them on Saturdays. And now begins the absolute hatred and petty bitchiness of Daniel and Miranda! Seriously, it’s...it’s fucking terrible, and it takes away from my sympathy from either side. I get that divorce is rough and ugly, but GODDAMN, neither of them perform the act with any form of tact or grace.
This is put on display during the kids’ visitation to Daniel’s semi-crappy new apartment, which doesn’t even seem that bad, to be honest. Miranda dropped them off late and picked them up early, as if to slowly starve Daniel of time with his kids, which is extraordinarily shitty of her, fuck me. Daniel’s not taking it well, understandably, but then does something...really dumb, when you think about it.
See, Miranda’s looking for a nanny, to help watch the kids and clean the house during the week. Daniel volunteers his services, which is actually a good idea, but Miranda says she’ll think about it, which we ALL know means no. I DO NOT like Miranda, even if I understand the initial reasons for the divorce. She’s being especially spiteful, and it’s not a good look.
Daniel’s stupid idea, though, is to change the phone number on the ad for the nanny, which Miranda shows him before she takes the kids. Instead, he calls her number, and pretends to be various terrible applicants, until finally supplying his own applicant: the completely fictional Euphegenia Doubtfire (Daniel Hillard).
Daniel plays Mrs. Doubtfire as an elderly British woman, and a seasoned nanny in her day. Which is why it’s weird to me that, when he does to Frank and Jack to help him make an elaborate disguise as Mrs. Doubtfire, that they go through various other impressions and get-ups. Which, yes, is goddamn hilarious, but also makes NO SENSE, given that they’ve already established her character to Miranda. Funny, but nonsensical.
But, regardless, Euphegenis Doubtfire comes into being, and introduces herself to Miranda and the kids. Mrs. Doubtfire is exactly what Miranda’s looking for, although the kids aren’t exactly overjoyed, ESPECIALLY the oldest, Lydia. Also, during this first meeting, Miranda openly bad-mouths Daniel in front of the kids, in just the WORST fuckin’ way. I genuinely dislike Miranda A LOT. Again, the divorce was certainly justified, but I REALLY don’t like her. Daniel loves his kids, and they’re HIS kids, TOO. Stop using them as weapons against him, OOOOOOOOOOOH I DON’T LIKE MIRANDA
Anyway, that evening, after she’s officially been hired by Miranda, Mrs. Doubtfire heads home, only to find court liason Mrs. Sellner waiting to speak with Daniel. After a litany of puns, and a humorous changing scene, Daniel accidentally throws the Mrs. Doubtfire mask out of the window, and is forced to improvise through equally humorous circumstances. Hence, the above meringue mask scene. Has anybody tried that, by the way? Could that work as a groundbreaking beauty technique? Or would the sugar just feed the skin bacteria and give you acne? Genuinely curious.
Now going between his job as Daniel and the nanny job as Doubtfire, Daniel’s not doing too badly for himself. The nanny job begins, and Mrs. Doubtfire IMMEDIATELY contrasts with Daniel, creating a disciplinarian atmosphere in place of Daniel’s formerly loosey-goosey attitude. Which is interesting, and it works! I mean, it’s not how I would parent, but it does work. Doubtfire makes the kids to their homework, rather than watch TV, and then attempts to make dinner. Instead, though, the dinner’s ruined, and Daniel orders takeout and makes it LOOK like homemade food. And it looks good, too! Daniel’s full of hidden talents.
After dinner, as Mrs. Doubtfire’s leaving, Lydia apologizes for backtalking her earlier, and thanks her for making her mom happy with everything she did that evening. he also says that she’s still a bit messed up about her dad being gone. And yeah, it’s sweet-but-sad.
Going forward (and in a montage set to Aerosmith’s Dude Looks Like a Lady), Mrs. Doubtfire takes care of the family, and Daniel even betters himself to become a better Mrs. Doubtfire. Which...to be honest, Daniel REALLY should’ve done this before. I get that he needed the pressure of losing the kids to do this, but...look, Daniel really wasn’t that responsible of a parent, and the fact that THIS is how he learns to be so is...not great. Like, here’s an example, OK: take Donald Trump.
Yeah, I know, what’s this politics doing in my peanut butter? And WOW, that reference is older than me, but anyway. Let’s say that, in two years, a new politician comes on the scene, and her name is Karyn Walldottir. She has somewhat centrist views, and behaves in a way that’s inclusive to the majority, and backs up her claims and promises with evidence (at least true enough for us to suspend our disbelief). This is, of course, Donald Trump disguised as a woman in order to gain custody of the United States of America again. Naturally.
Karyn Walldottir gets elected in 2024, and all of her policies are markedly different from Trump’s and Biden’s, but leaning closer to Biden in progressive standpoints (assuming that that worked for him come 2024). While Trump is doing this specifically to be president again, he ends up revising his personal policies, and being a better person and president for the country. A literal impossibility, I know. But suspend your disbelief to ask this question:
WHY THE FUCK WOULDN’T HE DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE? IT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!
OK, now that that dumbass (and mildly horrifying) thought process is concluded, let’s get back to Mrs. Doubtfire. In the process of Mrs. Doubtfire’s ingratiation with the family, Miranda’s been dating Stu, whom Mrs. Doubtfire subtly insults when they meet. And yeah, Daniel’s being a little petty here, but it makes a bit of sense at least.
That night, after an accidental intrusion by Chris when Mrs. Doubtfire is going to the bathroom, Daniel’s basically forced to tell Chris and Lydia his little secret, which Lydia’s happy about, but Chris is understandably weirded out about. But, they agree to keep the secret from their mom and younger sister.
At his OTHER job, delivering film reels from a TV station, he witnesses the filming of an extremely boring kids educational TV show, and comments as such to another man watching. As he quickly learns, this is the owner of the station, Jonathan Lundy (Robert Prosky), on whom Daniel makes a good impression.
In the meantime, Mrs. Doubtfire has a talk with Miranda about their love lives, real and fictional. Daniel realizes how badly Miranda had been suffering in their marriage, which she never told him because...well, he never seemed to take anything seriously. Which is entirely fair...but this is why Miranda’s a tricky-ass character. She’s got two sides: there’s the justified caring mother and strong woman, and there’s the PETTY ASSHOLE who genuinely doesn’t care about Daniel or his feelings AT ALL. Jesus.
And Stu...look, Stu is LITERALLY a Gary Stu, who’s mostly perfect. Sure, he’s not always been that way, but he definitely is now! He’s responsible, wealthy, in love with Miranda AND her kids. And yeah, at a country club that he’s a member of (OF COURSE he is), he privately badmouth Daniel in front of Mrs. Doubtfire, calling him a loser, and...yeah, he’s not really unjustified in that statement. Fact of the matter is, Stu is barely even a plot device.
Meanwhile, in Daniel’s day job, he finds himself alone in the studio, where the toy dinosaurs from the TV show are still sitting on the table. He plays with them, gives them voices, sings some songs, and impresses Mr. Lundy, who’s there in the shadows after all that. He’s impressed, and invites Daniel to dinner to talk about a potential future show at the network.
But then, it’s also Miranda’s birthday coming up, and Stu’s holding a dinner for her, to which Mrs. Doubtfire is invited. Trouble is, it’s at the OH FUCK IT. YOU know what this is. It’s at the same time and place as the Mr. Lund meeting yaddayaddayadda LOOK. We ALL know how this is going to end. It’s the GODDAMN LIAR REVEALED TROPE AGAIN. And here’s the thing:
I FUGGIN’ HAAAAAATE THE LIAR REVEALED TROPE
You know, that thing in movies (especially family movies of the ‘90s) where somebody starts off a situation with a lie, they get deeper and deeper into that lie, grow close to people under false pretenses, and then OH NO! THE LIAR IS REVEALED! And everybody’s angry and/or sad, the liar slumps off, defeated and broken, but then realizes the error of his ways, while everybody else realizes the same thing, and he comes back to vindicate himself, and is welcomed back with open arms. And it introduces unneeded tension AND I HAVE ALWAYS FUCKING HATED IT.
Let’s list the examples, shall we? A Bug’s Life, Aladdin, Mulan, The Road to El Dorado, Chicken Run, How to Train Your Dragon, Klaus, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Megamind (SUBVERSIVE MY ASS), Over the Hedge, Rango, Toy Story, Steven Universe (the whole Pearl/Sardonyx arc, which went on for WAY too long), the list goes on and fucking on. And I GODDAMN HATE IT. Not to say it can’t be done well. Disney actually usually does a pretty good job with it, and Dreamworks uses it A LOT, but almost always pretty well. But sometimes...GOD. Either way, it’s still used FAR too fucking much. And look. Here’s another one. Joy.
Look, at this point...I will freely admit that I'm biased against this trope, but it’s also obvious where this is headed. Basically, Daniel switches back and forth between the dinner with the family, and the dinner with Mr. Lundy. With Mr. Lundy, he gets absolutely SMASHED. Great. Great decision, Daniel.
So, yeah, Mrs. Doubtfire’s also smashed, which is pretty goddamn apparent to them all. At this point, I’m wondering why Daniel, as Mrs. Doubtfire, didn’t just say she was sick as hell, and had to go home. Or, considering the fact that Daniel proposes her as a show idea regardless, the switch wasn’t even necessary! And that means that none of what’s about to happen, happens. Or, here’s a crazy thought, maybe Daniel shouldn’t have POISONED STU’S FOOD WITH CAYENNE PEPPER THAT HE’S ALLERGIC TO!
YEAH! Because that causes Stu to go into anaphylactic shock for a hot sec, causing him to choke. Mrs. Doubtfire does the right thing and gives him the Heimlich maneuver, and in the process, SURPRISE! IT’S BEEN DANIEL ALL ALONG! BUH BUH BUHHHHH DA DA DA DAAAAA DA
Yeah, so Miranda is understandably ENRAGED by this revelation, and it’s all over. Daniel represents himself in court at the custody hearing, but the judge deems his “lifestyle” dangerous for children. Which...yikes, Judge, that statement didn’t age well AT FUCKING ALL. But, given Daniel’s admitted stupidity with this whole idea, he’s not wrong about the dangerous part. But, I have to say, Daniel’s speech in his own defense is nice...although he also says he’s addicted to his children, so let’s throw a second yikes on there for good measure.
The speech moves Miranda...but not enough to prevent Daniel has his custody stripped away from him! GOD THEY BOTH SUUUUUUUUCK. Daniel’s a broken man, and Miranda and the kids are similarly broken without him and Mrs. Doubtfire. However...Daniel’s career isn’t broken AT ALL, as Mrs. Doubtfire is now a kid’s show host! Yeah! And she’s a hit! And again, it brings me to wonder why Daniel DIDN’T APPLY HIS OBVIOUS TALENTS LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST GODDAMN PLACE
Realizing that she made a mistake, she goes to the set during the filming of a show. She congratulates him on the show, and he replies by stating how broken he is now! Thanks, Miranda! Well, after an argument, and after Miranda sees how badly she’s messed up someone she used to care for, they come to an agreement: joint custody. FINALLY GODDAMN IT
And good, because I don’t want them back together. I have to give this film props for that: they acknowledge that these two are NOT good for each other, and they deliver a message in the end: families are families, no matter how they’re shaped. One mom, one dad, uncle or aunt, grandparents, adoption, two separated or divorced parents...oh, also, two dads or two moms. Yeah, that isn’t said in Mrs. Doubtfire’s final monologue, which is odd considering Daniel’s brother and his life partner...but it’s also kid’s TV in the ‘90s, so I guess that sadly makes sense. And with that, and their new family arrangement, Daniel takes his kids on an afternoon out, as himself.
...Look. That’s Mrs. Doubtfire, yaddayaddayadda LOOK. I don’t dislike this movie. In fact, here: have this mini-Review:
Cast and Acting - 9/10: Good, although Brosnan was a little stiff.
Plot and Writing - 5/10: It’s an idiot plot, what can I say? It’s actually based off of a book, which was a surprise to me, but it was adapted by Randi Mayem Singer and Leslie Dixon, and...eh. Still an idiot plot.
Directing and Cinematography - 8/10: It’s Chris Columbus, you get what you get. Definitely has that Home Alone flair to it.
Production and Art Design - 8/10: I mean, yeah, the Doubtfire disguise was good most of the time, but...I dunno, I could still tell it was Robin. But, still, it was good. Took 4 hours of makeup, fun fact.
Music and Editing - 8/10: Music by Howard Shore (ooh, Howard Shore!) was pretty nice, especially the ending theme. Editing by Raja Gosnell was...RAJA GOSNELL???
OH GOD. Yeah, OK, I see what happened here. Also, I didn’t know he was an editor! I just know him as the director of the Scooby-Doo films, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, The Smurfs films, Big Momma’s...
...OK, no, I am not doing Big Momma’s House OR the Madea movies. THE TROPE-BUCK STOPS HERE! I am moving on to something else! But, of course, I have to sum this up in a Review. See you there!

Evangelion au
Part 2: guardians (and Midori)
Click here for part 1
-He takes in Sara after she becomes a pilot because her parents mysteriously go missing
-He takes in Sara after she becomes a pilot because her parents mysteriously go missing
-Sara gets to his apartment and goes “Oooooooooooh my god” because this man is a mess and she sees alcohol and pizza boxes everywhere
-He quite dislikes the fact Sara is a pilot the more he gets attached. He goes from being her mentor to just telling her not to push herself constantly.
-Sometimes Sara will see him talking to someone who isn’t there. He sounds really distressed. She’ll usually intervene.
Kai
-Since Sara is such a high ranking pilot, Kai is assigned to be a bodyguard to her
-He then becomes a housekeeper for her and Keiji because “how do y’all live?”
-He was born into NERV, so he has little experience with non business talk. He does seem to have a very strange and point blank sense of humor though.
-He comes with Sara to school to protect her. Sara is embarrassed because this dude is just standing behind her in class and intimidating people who get too close.
-He actually ends up acting more like an overprotective dad than a bodyguard
-Kai 🤝 Keiji
Protect Sara at all costs, including betraying NERV and she shouldn’t have all this responsibility
-Sara: I love my two dads
Sou/Midori
-He’s a second in command at NERV so he isn’t well known by many people. Some people gossip he’s the founders son.
-He’s very charismatic and the reason many people have joined NERV. This includes Hinako and Sara.
-He also told NERV to seek out Kanna as a pilot despite never talking to her himself.
-Despite his charisma, a lot of people find him creepy and don’t like to be around him for more than they have to.
Shin
-Works directly under Sou. Doesn’t talk about his work much.
-He’s asked to take care of Hinako and Kanna. His apartment is slightly better than Keiji’s. But only slightly.
-Kanna convinced him to have an indoor garden in the apartment to make it look nicer. Hinako just sits in her room blasting heavy metal.
-He’s basically indispensable to NERV because of his computer knowledge and Sou’s attachment to him. He wouldn’t dare think of quitting.
-However, if it comes down to it, he’d die for his girls. He doesn’t like to entertain how much he means that.
