#Add that one onto my list of actors I adore <3< /div> Explore tagged Tumblr posts

[joyful-downer]

I've never really had much interest in superhero movies - until the first Deadpool came along. And ever since then, that was the only (anti)hero I cared about and liked.

(Any other comics characters I liked were villains like Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and the Joker)

Now, after watching Deadpool and Wolverine twice, I can't believe how much I missed out on. I'm actually kinda embarrassed I've just realized how cool (and HOT) not only Logan/Wolverine is, but also how absolutely wholesome and adorable Hugh Jackman himself is in real life. He is SUCH a sweetheart and I wish I had known earlier because OH MAN did I miss out-

Ranking Asian Dramas of 2024: Spring

Welcome to part two of the Asian Dramas of 2024 series. This post will focus on shows that I finished to completion in the spring season. Let's reintroduce ourselves to the ranking system.

Where’s the Replay Button?

They Got the Bag

Good For What it Was

Wanted to like but it has eh?

Why did I even Finish this?

And let's move onto the dramas, shall we? (Note: I did add a few shows that I watched recently that I missed from the winter post, so please forgive my inconsistency here.)

Soulful Encounters (Premiered Jan 31; Why Did I Even Watch This?)

Not to sound sarcastic, but I have a feeling that this show was supposed to be about…something, but the show completely forgot what. Who are these characters again?

Deep Night (Premiered Mar 7; Wanted to like but it has eh?)

I was so close in putting this show in the why did I even finish this tier because that was the question I asked myself with each new episode I clicked on. I did start this show when it first aired, but I put it on hold for a while because I really couldn’t stand Khemtid’s personality and brattiness. I grew to fall in love with Shogun Paramee right when I first saw him because he’s adorable as hell, but Khemtid is such a poorly written character that it drives me up the wall. Furthermore, this story is supposed to show a different side to the Thai sex industry, but all it does is put it in a 50 Shades of Grey light, which only makes me feel really gross as a person who agrees that people in sex work deserve all equal rights. How Khemtid treats Wela like his personal toy all because his mom owns the Deep Night Club is disturbing to me. Wela should’ve stood up to him more instead of falling in love with him after the first three episodes. And then for Khemtid to pull the hypocrite card on his own mother proves that whoever wrote Khemtid in his way had absolutely no idea what they were doing. The acrobatics were pretty impressive (I’m not gonna lie) and whenever Shogun was in a suit, I melted like the dickens.

Secrets of the Shadow Sect (Premiered Mar 12; Where’s the Replay Button?)

While I would say this series deserved to be less and longer episodes considering how well the events of each episode go together, this was a solid concrete series that had a plot and stayed with it until the very end. It also helped me find my ultimate Chinese actor crush, Lin Ze Hui. Seriously, he puts every other historical fantasy male lead to shame with how handsome he looks. The best part of the series other than the romance is definitely the soundtrack. It’s theme songs have been stuck in my head for almost a month since the series started, and both of them are just as glorious as the first listens. My only wish was that the ending was more concrete, but I guess that’s the curse of short series, huh?

One Day in Shimokitazawa (Premiered Mar 17; Why did I Finish This?)

This short movie wasn’t bad. It was pretty chill, which might have been the point, but the plot of the whole Ghost Record thing doesn’t really go anywhere. From what I’ve researched, I can’t tell if this was an original drama or based off of something else, but I wish this drama had more plot or something.

Jazz for Two (Premiered Mar 26; Why did I Finish This?)

I came into this because it was a BL and I needed more Korean BLs in my complete list. I continued watching this for Hangyeom because HE IS THE GOODEST BOI! The show overall was not as interesting as I wished it was. Taeyi and Seheon were just not that interesting, and each episode is full of those obvious romance tropes that stopped being funny or shocking decades ago.

Among the Cloud (Premiered April 3; Why Did I Even Finish This?)

I know why I did. Because it’s short. Out of all the short Thai GL I’ve watched, Irene is the most annoying FL I’ve ever met. I know it’s done on purpose, but I’m supposed to think that’s cute? I can’t even. I don’t blame Tia for not liking her at first at all. In fact, it should’ve stayed that way.

Memory in the Letter (Premiered April 6; Wanted to Like, but it has eh?)

Start of the series was very strong, but they lost me in the last two episodes.

Gray Shelter (Premiered April 11; They Got the Bag)

Now THIS is how you make real drama. Raw real drama. It’s a BL that’s less on the romance and more about how the two manage to survive in their god awful circumstances. It sent shivers up my spine every episode.

Under the Gun (Premiered April 12; They Got the Bag)

I really wished that this drama was longer because this read like an adorable yet dramatic romance manga. I wanted to see more about the gambling and I wanted to see more interactions with the main couple to see how the end would’ve panned out. However, for what it is, it is still a highly recommended drama to watch. The acting is fire. The cinematography is high quality. The story is still well written regardless of length.

JK to Roppozensho (Premiered April 19; They Got the Bag)

Ace Attorney except it’s a female teenaged genius lawyer who focuses less on winning the case and more about serving justice for those in need. This drama is mostly episodic in term of story structure, there is an overarching personal story in which our main character, Miyabi, is also trying to learn about what happened to her mother years ago when she disappeared. As a character, yes, Miyabi is immature but she’s also a teenager, so of course, she’s going to jump into cases in one specific mindset, but it’s thanks to her lawyer grandfather and her mentor’s teachings that Miyabi learns to see the case from all angles in order to find the truth. This show feels like a modern and less actiony Sukuban Deka, but the cases are so interesting to watch that I was invested from beginning to end.

Walk With You (Premiered April 23; Wanted to like, but it has eh?)

The story is average (I started not to like it anymore towards the end), but not bad, but whoever did the audio and music mixing for this show, I hope their life is miserable as mine was having to up and down my volume.

Shinsengumi: When I Bloom With You (Premiered April 25; Wanted to like but it has eh?)

I found the original manga, which was written by the legendary Osamu Tezuka and published in 1963. Shinsengumi is about revenge and how that applies to fighting against corruption during the end of the Edo and start of the Meiji Restoration eras of Japan. The manga is only five chapters long, so it doesn’t really show much, so when I started watching this drama, I was surprised how bromancy and borderline gay the characters were made out to be. I know this drama added a lot of things in order to make the 20 episode run time make sense, but that’s where the problem kinda lies. The show presents a lot of material, but the story barely exists until the second half when we finally get a Mulan-style we’re off to fight now arc. Unlike Mulan, this show’s battle arc feels less inspiring than the extremely short manga. I wanted to like this for the character interactions, but even when I do like them, they feel out of place for a war-torn Tokyo.

Wandee Goodday (Premiered May 4; Where’s the Replay Button?)

Wandee and Yak are my second favorite gay couple this year compared to Yuichiro and Hajime. For a fake dating/friends with benefits thing going on, they seem to be too in love, and they are just so goddamn adorable around each other.

Design You Beside Me (Premiered May 5; Good for What it Was)

If you’re in for the cozy part of a GL drama, this is definitely for you. The stakes are not that high, and for a short drama, it’s a nice change of pace. If plot is what you’re looking for, you’re not going to find that here.

The Story of Suzhou (Premiered May 23; Good for What it Was)

Had this story only been about Yiran making fans for people, I would’ve been completely satisfied. Xiaofeng was completely useless. To give it credit, I love how each episode has a differently filmed intro. The sites of China are gorgeous! I also love how you actually watch the how the fans are made process. Not only do you get to see beautiful designs, but you also learn the history of why the designs exist

My Moo My Boo (Premiered May 29; Good for What it Was)

Episode 6 could’ve used some audio mixing improvement because you shouldn’t be able to hear the wind unless it’s necessary, too, and in this case, it wasn’t. Otherwise, the GL was cute and cozy. Pretty typical.

Damn, that's cool getting to learn about Poe so much. We only had to analyze Shakespeare. I only know Annabel Lee because of a Clexa fic. It got mentioned there and then I got curious and looked it up. Moral of the story? Fanfictions teaches you a lot! I adored Juno! She was so hilarious with her few lines and facial expressions. She made me laugh every time she was on screen. Oh yeah Gerlads Game, I forgot about that for a sec even though it was shown on TV in House of Usher 😂 Geralds Game is a more "realistic" movie, which makes the horror much more real. Which scene was it? 👀 One with the Moonlight Man? The Scream TV show obviously does not compare to the movies in the slightest but it's a good watch if you want some kills and a cool whodunit. Overall House of Usher was really fantastic. All of the references, metaphors and poetic stories together with the horror aspect really made it stand out.

Oh if we don't get to see Sam again, especially all sweaty and bloody in a tank top, then I will travel to the USA and force them to include Melissa myself. That's so unfair and as if it would be a good idea to make a seventh, possibly last Scream movie and not include the last recurring characters. Especially when it is taking place during Christmas, which would fit the timeline of Scream 6. I guess we really have to kidnap Mel then and create our own movie with her...

Yes I will spam you with pictures if that little guy!! Of just him and our other 2 guard dogs together. Dogs are the best 😌

I personally like Poe more than Shakespeare, but Shakespeare has some good works. You only knowing Annabel Lee because of a clexa fic is absolutely amazing!! do you remember which fic it was? Fanfics have taught me more things than I have ever learned in schooling. Juno has my heart!!! My brother also loves her and he felt so bad when Tammy sniped Juno with the mic 😭 Gerald’s Game is certainly interesting, and a little different than his normal stuff, but still just as good. The degloving scene disturbed me, but also the scene with the Moonlight Man going to town on her feet 😭 I’ll have to add Scream TV to my over growing watch list! House of Usher might have to my second favorite creation of Mike’s, everything about it is perfect. I’m sad that it is Mike’s last show with Netflix, BUT he’s working with Amazon Studios and he’s already working on 3 upcoming projects!!!

It will be an international crime if we don’t get to see Sam sweaty and covered in blood; no one does it quite like Melissa. It would be unfair to all of the actors who were in 6, but I would be surprised if they actually stuck to it and didn’t include Mel/Jenna. It would be cool if we got to see Ghostface interrupting Tara’s birthday, as it would kind of mirror how her father left around her birthday. I kind of also want Christina Carpenter to make an appearance as well. But I will gladly help you ‘surprise adopt’ Melissa and get her onto the set of Scream 7

You will absolutely have to spam with pictures of the little fur ball!! I absolutely love dogs! (I might be more of a cat person, I still haven’t decided yet)

Updated K-drama list (2)

4 more shows DONE. I’m seriously obsessed guys. 

I’ve also updated the list to include some ratings - mainly how many tissues you’ll need, and how amazing the architecture/interior design is in the houses. Seriously, some shows I could barely concentrate on the subtitles because the sets were so gorgeous!

FAVOURITES

1. Crash Landing on You

He’s from North Korea. She’s from South Korea. They never should have met, but they’ll change each other’s lives.

This was my first K-drama, and its still my favourite. The full cast of characters is great, the lead romance is ANGSTALICIOUS and its genuinely, laugh out loud funny (when its not making you cry or swoon).

Male lead: Officially the best boyfriend ever. With added dimples.

Tear-jerk factor: 4/5

ArchitecturePorn: 2/5  

2. Descendants of the Sun

A special forces Captain meets a capable and beautiful trauma surgeon. They feel an instant bond, but their jobs and philosophy on life get in the way, threatening to tear them apart.

Halfway through this show, I seriously thought this might overtake CLOY as my No. 1 fav. I absolutely LOVE watching competent people doing their jobs really, really well - and this had it in spades. I also ADORE the male lead character, and the romance was beautiful…but it didn’t quite nail the angst, and the last minute was a bit twee, which kept it in the No.2 spot.

Male lead: A cocky, charming, absolute BADASS...with the most adorable, cheeky smile.

Tear-jerk factor: 2/5

ArchitecturePorn: 0/5 (mostly crumbling buildings and sterile hospitals!)

3. Healer

The lives, and pasts, of a hot shot reporter, a spunky young tabloid journalist and a mysterious thief-for-hire intersect.

This was so addictive - the plot was tight and engaging, and this is one of the few shows I’ve watched where there didn’t seem to be a lot of filler. I loved the central 3 characters, and the romance was amazing. I especially loved that the male lead started off such a brooding loner, but he became super-affectionate as soon as he admitted his feelings. So many good hugs and lots of face-cradling in this one.

Male lead: Effortlessly beats up 2 henchmen while comforting his girl over the phone. What’s more to add?

Tear-jerk factor: 1/5

ArchitecturePorn: 1/5

4. My Holo Love

A lonely woman falls for a holographic AI and then meets his creator...

I love the concept of this show (I’m a big sci-fi nerd), and it was beautifully shot. The lead relationship is well developed and it doesnt fall into a typical love triangle. I’ve come to realise it utilises a lot of K-drama tropes (face-blindness! shared childhood trauma!), but it does it really well, imho.

Male lead: Tortured loner genius. My catnip.

Tear-jerk factor: 2/5

ArchitecturePorn: 2/5

5. Goblin

A 900yr old immortal guardian finally meets the ‘bride’ who will end his existence

Once I got over the slight ick-factor of the age difference between the two characters at the beginning, I really fell for this show and it’s world. It had me in tears. And I especially loved the secondary character of the Grim Reaper.

Male lead: Surprising innocent and funny for a 900 year old

Tear-Jerk factor: 5/5

ArchitecturePorn: 3/5

6. What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim

An personal assistant decides to quits her job in order to get a life. Her boss has other ideas.

I loved the female lead in this - as I said, I’m a sucker for uber-competent people, and the actress is STUNNING. Her boss is self-centred, entitled and vain...but over time, somehow that just becomes endearing! This show also has lots of very good kissing scenes...and when he started to unbutton her shirt during one encounter, I was SCANDALISED (did I mention these shows are usually very PG!!)

Male lead: Like I said, somehow makes vanity and narcissism endearing. Also not afraid to get his shirt off and flash his 6-pack. Bonus.

Tear-Jerk factor: 0/5

ArchitecturePorn: 4/5

7. Legend of the Blue Sea

A mermaid comes onto land to find the man she loves

The (literal) fish-out-of-water scenes in the first half of this show were hilarious - the actress is a comic genius! The romance was nicely done, and there wasn’t a lot of extraneous plot or too many characters. I couldn’t stop watching this one!

Male lead: Cocky, arrogant conman with a soft mushy centre

Tear-Jerk factor: 1/5

ArchitecturePorn: 3/5 (I want a hidden room!)

Notable mentions

These are shows which I completed and enjoyed but they didn’t set my world on fire. Usually because they were overly long, or the plot got in the way of the characters/love story.  If I have to fast forward large chunks of side-plot and endless tertiary character interactions, its not making my favourite list

1. Suspicious Partner

A young, hardworking lawyer has her life turned upside down when she is put on trial for murder.

This was overly long, but the serial killer plot had some nice twists and it was central to the story, so it didn’t feel extraneous like some of these types of plots do. I really enjoyed the central romance - the 2 characters sparked off each other well, and the female lead actually got to kick some ass in this!

2. My Love from the Star

Alien stranded on earth meets an actress soon before he’s due to be rescued.

I finally gave this another chance, and I’m glad I did. The female lead got a LOT less irritating, and I enjoyed the present-day romance and all the flashes back to the past. However, the ending was really abrupt and disappointing (which kept it out of my favourite list). There should have been 1 less filler episode in the middle, and a decent, fleshed out finale instead.

3. Strong Girl Bong-Soon

A woman with inherited super-strength gets a job as a bodyguard for an eccentric young CEO

The lead couple in this are AD-OR-ABLE and I loved their relationship. But there was a weird tone issue in this show. The romance is super cute...but there’s a whole dark sub plot involving multiple women being held captive by a psychopath. I ended up fast forwarding most of that, and just concentrated on the romance.

4. Touch Your Heart

Star actress rocked by scandal works at a law firm to prepare for her comeback role

This starred the secondary couple from Goblin and I really like them, even though they are playing very different characters in this (more opposites attract, than doomed lovers). At first I found this too ‘cutesy’, but I’ve since realised the sound effects/graphics are a K-drama thing and not unique to this show, so I’m not as down on it as I was. I still had to fast forward a lot of the secondary romances which I wasn’t invested in.

5. Hyde, Jekyll and Me

A woman becomes involved in the lives of 2 men, who share one body

This stars Hyun Bin from CLOY and he is sooo watchable, especially as the slick-haired, glasses-wearing, uptight Seo-Jin. And the show started well...but quickly went off the rails into a convoluted, dragged-out revenge plot.

6. Melting Me Softly

Two people are accidentally cryogenically frozen for 20 years. They have to navigate the modern world and their new lives together.

Another good concept, but it ultimately descended into little more than a light work-place romance. Had a couple of good kissing scenes, but it was overall a bit forgettable.

And the DNF:

1. My Secret Romance

I started watching this because I was looking for something a little less PG - the characters have a one night stand in the first episode! But I couldn’t get passed the bad acting and cheap production.2

2. Master’s Sun

I liked the premise but the 2 leads weren’t very attractive (at least in comparison to the insanely beautiful actors/actresses in the shows listed above). Call me superficial, but I couldn’t see myself spending 17 hours watching them and willing them to kiss.

[tarmairons]

aaaaaaand here’s part 2 of the extensive (book & netflix) masterpost of all my fave eslaf moments!!!! again, fair warning, this is a very long post

[part 1]

i wish i could have done all this in one part but i hit a size limit oops

NOW ONTO SEASON 3!!! which was a nightmare but i’ll try to pretend it wasn’t for the sake of this post

to begin: the constant endearments in the book (and the show... “darling dearest dreamboat” damn esmé) have me losing my wholeass mind like

next up we have the indisputable fact that they f*cked in the tent on mount fraught. my proof is that they shared a tent and it was cold and so they had to generate heat. thank you

and then another instance of their shared brain cell evaporating

olaf being super proud of scoring the world’s hottest girlfriend and bragging to his parental figures is surprisingly wholesome 

aaaand their brain cell is still missing in action

it’s very very cute how olaf obviously has zero artistic talent but esmé is always out there looking at him putting on a show like he’s the most amazing actor alive

and next on the list of scenes we were robbed of: p h y s i c a l  a f f e c t i o n

but at least the most important line, that is:

was included:

so i won’t torch netflix hq just yet!!!! oh but WAIT they cut this next part, so i might change my mind about the arson after all

and also this line ???? ugh they’re disgusting i love them

and then this whole entire scene of olaf being so proud of his murderous gf was. beautiful. spectacular. legendary 

and then someone pointed out that their hug looks like that draco/voldemort hug and it’s TRUE but i’m still gonna include it bc netflix is eslafphobic and i’m clinging to scraps here

this next line isn’t an eslaf scene but the phrasing is sending me shddhhdjsh

ok submarine time!!!! aka netflix making the sugar bowl esmé’s priority whereas in the book it is olaf’s as well AND netflix making it look like olaf was against carmelita joining them whereas it was his idea in the book… so basically all the reasons they fight in the show are unsubstantiated but go off i guess

very grateful for this Old Married Couple Bickering tho

and i know this whole scene is very problematic and talked about profusely on tumblr dot com but i’m including this screencap bc it’s soft how esmé considers them all a family

and Oh Wait olaf does too i’m melting

it’s like in TPP they wrote him bitching about “pretending to be a family” but he didn’t have any issues with it earlier, he just ran with it when esmé called carmelita their daughter

and was like “i know” ok netflix so why have him complain about it later on smh… he’s clearly not THAT mad about it, like:

next up!!! i’m a big fan of them disagreeing over something…

…and then 0.5 seconds later they’re getting along again:

^ that is the essence of their relationship

and now back to the topic of olaf not being annoyed at esmé’s Fashion Diva moments:

see he’s lowkey impressed ok

i’m now realizing that 99% of my alleged fave eslaf scenes from s3 are just me complaining about how the books are superior but ok

anyway this next scene deserves an emmy. give lucy an emmy for the delivery of “BUT DARLING”

and this is also soft bc olaf is like :/ and then esmé says something and he turns to her and is like :) so that always has me on the floor in tears

out of context this sentence is wild but like… netflix back at it again with robbing us of all the affectionate scenes huh

and here’s another instance of Couples Scheming being a fun activity to do together

and then we have their joint brain cell screaming for help but it’s adorable so

and then they go off to f*ck again

next up this whole beach scene is just more old married couple behavior and i absolutely adore it

and then we have Bonding Over Arson ~just couple things~

the fact that as the series progresses they go from “count olaf’s gf” to “esmé squalor’s bf” is legendary

and now this isn’t really a fave scene per se BUT considering the mess netflix made of the breakup i have to give a shoutout to the book version bc in comparison to the show version it’s.. beautiful how Mutual Agreement it is

but yeah lucy is spectacular here and it adds fuel to the Esmé Did Have Feelings For Olaf Because Otherwise She Wouldn’t Be Crying fire, which is great for me bc i love my otps with a side of angst

and of course netflix confirmed that esmé squalor, the city’s sixth most important financial advisor, has a daddy kink, so that’s incredible

you may think i’m done bc they broke up but no

here we have them a millisecond away from murdering each other but they’ll still take time out of their busy schedules to menacingly glare at children together. a spiritual bond that no breakup can destroy

but the real gem is the massive horny on main energy in the opera flashback (which was awful, but horny, so i have mixed feelings)

subtle, esmé

you too olaf, good job

and ofc it’s [luciana voice] imperative to remember that in the book esmé was out there trying to stop the premeditated murder of olaf’s parents so that’s nice of her

and last but not least the only valid s3 scene aside from esmé menacing the kids in the burned vfd headquarters:

sexy noir aesthetic fire escape rendezvous that ignited a revenge scheme spanning decades. if that’s not peak romance idk what is

and not to be controversial but i’m gonna drop this here anyway

ever since i read the end a billion years ago i always used to think olaf meant kit in this scene but like ?????? over the past few months i’ve been thinking, what if he meant esmé?? i mean, nothing directly negates that possibility, the books are so ambiguous and so open to interpretation that i might as well twist them to fit my headcanons, as we all do, so why tf not 

and i’m gonna add some final Thoughts and Opinions in case i get more anons asking why i ship eslaf even though they’re constantly bickering &/or about to Snap and kill each other:

i’m hopelessly weak for villainous ‘us against the world’ power couples and it’s like.. even though in the series they ultimately have different end goals, they have a great time being awful people together along the way and that’s all that matters, that familiarity and mutual understanding between them. neither of them ever tried to change the other, they’re both garbage people and that’s why they get along, and what makes them so compatible

and while i’m still hesitant to use the word ‘love’ in regard to their relationship bc it just doesn’t feel Right to me (i know there’s people out there who feel otherwise but i’m still meh about it), i don’t doubt that they had feelings for each other deep down, even if they didn’t always outwardly express them

so that’s my massive essay with so much source evidence that tumblr made me divide it into 2 separate posts thank you for your attention i need a vacation from tumblr now bc this took me HOURS

The Trip of a Lifetime Part 12

Recap: You had just graduated from college, but you had one last trip to go on for one of your classes. You were going to London with your intercultural media communication class for two weeks. The first night you matched with a boy named Ben on Bumble. The second night of your trip you go on a date with him and go home with him. You only have three days left  in London, but you have just decided that eventually you will move to London to live with him. 

A/N: Well everyone, I think this is going to be the last part of this series! I kind of what to do an epilogue, let me know what you think! 

1859 words

Read Part 11    Master List

“Babe! I’m nervous!” you yell at Ben from the bedroom while you curl your hair. 

“Why?” he asks he walks into the room. All he has on is his dress shirt, not buttoned yet, and his suit pants. 

“Well for one, how the hell can I compete with how good you look,” you say standing up and walking towards him. When you got to him you ran your hand up and down his exposed chest. “Second of all, this is my first red carpet! I have no idea what to expect.”

“Y/N, don’t start something we can’t finish right now,” Ben says laughing and playfully pushing you away. He looks at you lustfully, but you both know you need to leave soon. “You will be great, just be yourself. And I know, I am a tough act to follow, but I’m sure you will look just as good.”

You laugh nervously at him and go back to curling your hair. 

“What kind of things are they going to ask me? Will they ask me anything at all?”

“They will probably mostly have questions for me, but they might ask you a few things. Maybe about us? Or what you’re wearing? It is usually pretty standard stuff.”

You finish your hair and walk over to the closet to put on your outfit for the evening. It is a black low cut jumpsuit, that fits you perfectly, and matches Ben’s suit. 

“Will you zip me?” 

“God, this outfit will be the death of me,” Ben says, in a deeper, huskier voice as he zips you up?

“Don’t start something you know we can’t finish, love” you say, mocking his accent as you turn around to face him.

He laughs at you pulls you in for a hug. “You’re going to be great love, everyone will love you.” He kisses your head and looks in the mirror, buttons up his shirt and puts on his tie. 

You walk over to the bed to slip on your shoes. 

“What do we even do? Just walk down the carpet and stop a few times and then move on?”

“Yeah that’s about it, I have never really fully understood the point of it but it’s just part of the job.” 

~~~ 

You step out of the car and Ben grabs your hand as you both start walking towards the event. As you are walking you are stopped by the first reporter. 

“Ben, it is so lovely to see you! What are you up to these days?”

“I’m starting a new project in a few months. Right now, I am just enjoying some time off!”

“Spending it finding love, I’ve heard?”

You blush and try not to laugh.

“You’ve heard correctly!” Ben says as he turns and looks at you. “This is my lovely girlfriend, Y/N.”

“Y/N what is it like dating a heartthrob like Ben?”

You can’t help but to let out a laugh. “It has been interesting! I honestly didn’t even put together who he was until after our first date.”

“Just for the record -- I don’t think I am a heartthrob,” Ben quickly adds. 

“You might not, but everyone else on Earth does,” you say laughing at him. 

The reporter laughs along with you. “You look stunning by the way Y/N, who are you wearing?”

“Valentino!” you say spinning around. “Can you believe how amazing it is?”

“Ben, seems like you’ve found a good one!”

“I really have, you will be seeing a lot more of her,” he says smiling at you.

“Looking forward to it! See you both later!” the reporter says winking. 

You both laugh. 

“That wasn’t so bad,” you say whispering to Ben as you both pose together for the photographers. 

“Can we get one of just her?” a photographer yells. 

“Me?!” you yell back.

“Yes!” 

“Be my guest!” Ben says as he backs out of the picture, giving you a thumbs up. 

You laugh and start to pose. After a few seconds you run back over to Ben. 

“That was wild!” you say. 

“I told you they would love you,” Ben says. He looks up and sees Bohemian Rhapsody co-star, Joe Mazzello. 

“Ben! What’s up my man!” Joe says as he gives Ben a hug. 

“Joe! You finally get to meet Y/N! Y/N this is Joe,” Ben says. 

“Y/N! It’s so nice to finally meet you! I have heard so much about you. Only good things!” Joe says as he pulls you in for a hug. 

You laugh and hug Joe back. “Ditto! It’s also nice to talk to an American,” you say laughing. 

“Agreed,” Joe says laughing back. “I can only take so much British accents before I just really need someone to talk to me about football and hotdogs, you know?”

“If Ben corrects me one more time when I say SOCCER, I am going to lose my mind!” you say, turning and looking at Ben. He mocks you both and you all laugh together. 

“Well mates, it looks like it’s time to go inside, shall we?” Joe says with his John Deacon accent. 

“I think we shall,” you say back with your best attempt at a British accent. You link your arm into Ben’s as you walk into the event. 

~~~

*** THREE DAYS LATER ****

You are packing the last of your things into your carry on bag when you look down and see you have three texts and a missed call from Ben. 

“Shit, I didn’t even hear my phone buzz,” you mumble to yourself. 

“Is it Ben?” Brooke says, looking up from her bag. 

“Yeah... I ...” you try to say something but tears start forming in your eyes. “I don’t know what to say to him.” 

Brooke walks over to your bed and sits down. “It’s going to be okay! We are going to go home and then in a few weeks Ben will come to visit!” 

“I know... I just... I am going to miss him,” you say between breaths, trying to calm yourself down. 

“What did he say?” Brooke says handing you your phone. 

“What time do you leave? Can I see you before you go?” you read to Brooke. 

“We leave the hotel in an hour, I’d say that’s enough time!” Brooke says. 

“Leaving my hotel in about an hour. Flight leaves in 3 hours” you text Ben. 

“On my way” he responds. 

“He’s on his way. It is just going to be so weird to go back. And I will have to explain this whole thing to my family and then once our lease is up I am going to PACK UP AND MOVE TO LONDON?!?!” you say to Brooke. “I am kind of freaking out.” 

“It will all work out! You are an adult, what is your family going to say? No? Like that even really matters? It’s your life, you get to live it however and with whoever you want.” 

“I know, I know. I just know that my parents are going to freak out. The only reason they haven’t said much is because of the cell service over here. They freaked out when I told them I was thinking about moving to California, imagine what they are going to do when I tell them I’m moving to London to live with an actor that I met two weeks ago.”

“Everything will work itself out, trust me,” Brooke says. 

There’s a knock at the door. Brooke walks across the room to answer it. 

“Hey Ben! I was actually just going to Sierra’s room to borrow her... perfume! See you later!” Brooke says as she walks away. She clearly just made up the excuse so she could leave you two alone. 

Ben steps into the room and shuts the door. He walks over and sits next to you on the bed. He lifts your face up with his finger and looks into your eyes. 

“Have you been crying?” he asks, sounding concerned. 

“Uh.. yeah well I had a bit of a meltdown about 10 minutes before you got here,” you say wiping the tears from your eyes. 

Ben leans in and kisses you softly. You can taste the cigarette and mint gum on his lips, a taste you have come to adore. 

He pulls away and looks at you. “Why is that?”

“Well, I am going back home, without you. And I have to explain this whole thing to my whole entire family, because I am sure there are rumors and a ton of shit just brewing over there waiting for me to come home. And then when my lease is up, I’m moving to another country. I am just a little stressed.”

“I can go with you!” Ben says. “I will book a one way ticket right now if you want me to.” 

“No, that’s okay. I think I need to go home and sort this out myself first, before I add you into the mix. And you will be coming in what, two weeks?”

“Yes, my flight to Omaha leaves in exactly two weeks from tomorrow. It won’t be so bad love.” 

“I am going to miss you so much, but I think this trip, being in our own little world for two weeks, is what I am going to miss the most. You know? We didn’t have to answer to anyone. We didn’t have to worry about anything. And now that is all over.” 

“We will get through it. I will meet your family, and they will all obviously fall in love with me, and then before you know it you will be settled in London and we will be back in our little world.” 

“That sounds so nice...” you say looking into his eyes. “But don’t get too cocky, my family is HARD to get along with. They are all going to have something to say about us moving in together. My cousin’s fiancé moved in with him three months after they got engaged and my aunts still talk about it. They’ve been married for two years. His brother knocked up his fiancé before they got married. My aunts still talk about that. The baby is four.” 

“Let them talk! Who cares! As long as we are happy, what your aunts think doesn’t matter. You will be a whole ocean away anyway,” he says. “I will just turn on the charm when I meet them. lay on the accent super thick and everything will be fine!”

You laugh at him, he always knows what to say. 

“You’re right! Who cares what my aunts think of our relationship, it’s ours! Not theirs. They are just going to have to live with it. And as soon as I move to London, everything will be perfect.”

“Well then this sounds like a win-win situation to me. Now, how long do we have until you leave?” 

You look down at your phone checking the time. 

“About half an hou...,” you say. Before you can even finish what you are saying Ben has pushed you back onto the bed. 

“Just enough time for me to give you something to remember me by,” he says biting his lip.

Secret Santa time!

To @gay-manga-ships From @undadasea

Merry Christmas, darling! I’m sorry it’s not really Christmas-y, I’m not very good at holiday themed stuff :’)) but I hope you like it regardless of the lack of festivity! Enjoy the silly problems of a pining teenage Victor <3

Description: Cinderella, a tale of falling in love at first sight and fighting for that love.

When Victor’s school puts on Cinderella, a new actor emerges and takes the lead. Maybe Victor’s been in love from the moment he laid eyes on Yuuri, and maybe Yuuri feels the same. It definitely takes them both a while to build up the courage to say so. Maybe it takes a few weeks of acting and texting, but it absolutely does get resolved. Eventually.

>>>>>

Day 1: Auditions. “Alright!”

Ms. Green clapped her hands, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. Victor turned away from Chris to look at her standing on the stage. “I’m so glad to see a lot of students here for our spring production of Cinderella! Now, I know a few of you are returning from last year, but remember; just because you were here last year doesn’t guarantee you a big role this time. I’m sorry, but fair is fair. Now.” She waved a hand out towards the audience and one of the other students stood and joined her on the stage. Ms. Green rested a hand on his shoulder, and he grinned big. “This is Phichit Chulanont. He’s going to be our director this year. Phichit, take it away.”

A few students clapped as Ms. Green descended the stairs, Victor included. He loved that Ms. Green always had a freshman acting as the director of the spring productions, and he remembered his turn in that spot fondly. Directing a bunch of students older than him to act out Romeo and Juliet had been a challenge, but it was fun nonetheless.

“Hi!” Phichit waved. “Like Ms. Green said, I’m Phichit. I hope that I can help all of you reach your fullest potential for our performances! I plan to cast based on talent, and talent alone. I’m very excited to get started, so let’s go!”

After he finished, he called a few people onto the stage and got right to work. As everyone got up, he introduced himself to them each personally and gave them a scene. When Victor went up, Phichit glanced away at someone for a moment before handing him a script.

“Alright, Victor, I want you to act as Cinderella.” Victor nodded, smiling, and walked over to center stage. They were practicing the ball scene, and already they had a the step-sisters and the step-mother.

“Who should be your prince, hm?” Phichit asked coyly, looking around. He seemed to find his target as he smiled brightly. “Yuuri! Would you please play the prince for us?”

There was some grumbling, but eventually another student who must be Yuuri came up the stairs. He had messy black hair and blue-framed glasses on, as well as an over-sized sweater and baggy sweatpants.

Victor tried to keep a smile on his face as he approached.

Then they began the scene, Victor waiting off-stage for his part, listening for his cue and reading along.

“It’s the prince!” Someone yells, Victor has already forgotten her name, but he knows that’s his cue, and he steps on-stage with all the nervous grace he can muster. He watches briefly as Chris and another student tussle around with the Prince before they stop and all eyes are on him. The Prince comes over in the silence and offers him a hand, and in that silence, Victor’s breath stops.

The Prince is panting a little, most likely due to wrestling with Chris, his cheeks flushed a light pink. And Victor notices now his nice, brown eyes blown wide, shining in the stage lights, different shades of brown mixed together.

Oh no.

He begins to reach out for his hand, and then Sara’s voice cuts in, making them both pull away. “It’s time to play ridicule! Everyone! Take sides!”

And they are both whisked away as the scene progresses. The continue for only a little bit longer before Phichit cuts them off, clapping his hands.

“Wonderful! I want to try something, though. Yuuri, Victor, switch roles. Start at the same place as before.”

Victor turned to Chris with a furrowed brow, but his friend only shrugged and moved back to where he had started. Victor moved to his spot, and they started again.

When it came time for Cinderella to enter once again, after Victor fought Chris and whoever else off of himself, he turned to see Yuuri standing on the other side of the stage, fidgeting with his hands. He made his way over, and slowly he reached a hand out to him. Yuuri looked up from the floor, his cheeks once again flushed and his lips parted slightly. Victor smiled, and held his hand flat, waiting. Yuuri reached up to grab it, and once more, before they could touch, Sara cut in.

So they continued to the act, until they had reached the same place as before.

“Okay, I think that’s a good place to end it today!” Phichit called out, climbing back onto the stage and gestured for everyone else to get off. "Ms. Green and I will work on the cast list today, and we should have it finished and posted tomorrow. So I’ll see you all then!“ And then he made a shooing motion with his hand. 

Victor only made it to the car before he broke down.

“CHRIS OH MY GOD.”

“Victor! I’m not deaf, you don’t HAVE to yell at me!”

“Sorry.” Victor rubbed his neck sheepishly as they pulled out of the school.

“It’s just. I think I’m in love. Help meeeee.”

Chris laughed. “Wow? So soon? And who?”

“Yuuri! That last scene just… UGH. He’s so cute, Chris!” Victor whined.

“He was an amazing actor, too! That’s all I need in a man. Handsome, adorable, good actor, he has my heart already.”

Chris shook his head, but he was smiling. “You only just met, Victor. You don’t even know if he’s a good person. You’ve never had a conversation!”

“I don’t care, he’s perfect. God, how am I supposed to survive 11 weeks of practice with his perfection?”

Chris rolled his eyes, but he drove on. Victor knew, though, that he wouldn’t survive to the performances. He could already tell.

Day 2: Casting. “Victor Nikiforov! You will be our Prince Charming.”

Victor smiled at the announcement. Honestly, he loved the role, after spending all night reading the script. Now, if only his Cinderella was….

“Yuuri Katsuki!” Ms. Green’s voice called next. “You will be Cinderella, the star of the show.”

He couldn’t help the huge grin that spread across his face as he glanced out in the crowd of students to find his new crush. There he was, hiding his face in his hands. There was the hint of a smile that Victor could spot, just barely peeking out from behind his hand.

Standing and crossing the room, Victor stopped in front of Yuuri. When the latter moved his hands off his face, Victor grabbed them. They were so soft.

“Yuuri! I’m really excited to work with you as my Cinderella! If you are anywhere near as good as you were during auditions, then I’m sure our performances will be the best production this entire school has ever had.”

Yuuri stared up at him, the blush Victor has already become fond of ever-present on his face. Now that Victor got a better look, he could see how it spread all the way to his ears. Adorable.

“I-I’m not too sure about that…” Yuuri mumbled, his eyes dropping to his lap. “Your performance in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ is quite the competitor.”

Victor beamed, fighting a blush of his own. “You saw that?” Yuuri just nodded. “Well, we’ll just have to work extra hard, so we can beat it. That means lots of practice!” Victor sat in the empty seat next to Yuuri, lowering his voice a little so he wouldn’t be shouting anymore. “Can I have your number, so we can meet up for practice and such?”

He caught Chris’ exasperated expression in the corner of his eye, but he ignored it. Victor has never been one for subtle or slick, and he knows it.

“Um, sure?” Yuuri’s shoulders drew up, but he had accepted! Victor finally released one of Yuuri’s hands to reach around to grab his phone. “Here, just put it in.” He pulled up a new contact and passed it to Yuuri, who put his name and his number. “Can I take a picture of you for the icon? It’s okay if not, I just like to have icons because I have a bad memory.” Victor lied through his teeth. He doesn’t have icon pictures for any of his contacts but Chris, and that was just because Chris’ was a dumb picture that he had set to tease Chris.

Yuuri, however, didn’t know he was lying through his teeth. He just blushed, and nodded. “If… If you want to, I guess? But only if I can get one of you for mine.”

“Of course!” Victor pulled up the camera for his phone, taking a quick picture. The lighting was awful, but now he had a cute picture of Yuuri so lighting be damned. He sent Yuuri a text so he’d have his number to add as a contact, and let Yuuri take a picture of him (which he may or may not have winked in).

After that, Phichit called for everyone’s attention, and work began.

Day 11: The dance. It was the 11th day of practice, 6 weeks since auditions, and Victor was living. He and Yuuri had been texting, and before and after each practice they’d been talking. Victor had yet to get Yuuri away from school to… Practice. But he was trying.

But every conversation they had was wonderful. Yuuri was an amazing person, and just as cute as Victor had thought he would be. PLUS he was an amazing actor, and Victor’s crush was just getting bigger and bigger with every message. He’d had to refrain himself from sending hearts the other day. It’s too much.

Of course, it was only going to get worse for his heart today. He had been both dreading and awaiting this day of practice since he realized. He and Yuuri are going to practice the ball dance today. After 6 weeks, he was finally going to get to dance with Yuuri.

So of course Victor had arrived to practice beaming, ready to go. And now Phichit was talking with Ms. Green about the scene in question as Yuuri and he waited on stage. 

“Hey Yuuri, follow my lead?” He whispered, tired of waiting and ready to finally do one of the things he had been anticipating the most in the past few weeks.

Yuuri, of course, gave him a slightly puzzled look, used to Victor’s usual attentive behavior during rehearsals. But he nodded nonetheless, and took Victor’s hand when he offered it. Slowly, Victor pulled him closer until their bodies were almost touching, but not quite. Even with the distance however, they had never been so close before, and Victor reveled in it.

“Dance isn’t something you can discuss.” He whispered into the small space between them. Yuuri nodded, his brows furrowing a little.

“Sometimes you just have to feel it.” Victor smiled, and rested a hand on Yuuri’s waist. Finally, Yuuri seemed to realize what he was doing, a small grin softening his features as he placed a hand gently on Victor’s shoulder.

And they began to dance with no music, and the Victor’s world narrowed to the one point where Yuuri was.

He could hear the music in his head as he took the lead, dancing slowly across the stage with Yuuri. Victor smiled brightly as Yuuri laughed when Victor’s silent instructions hadn’t been enough, resulting in Victor trying to spin Yuuri and ending up being spun himself. They sped up as they danced on, at points Victor giving the control to Yuuri and letting himself be spun and moved, dipped and twirled, then taking it back and lifting Yuuri as they both reached their limits, breaths coming out heavily. Once he set Yuuri down, both of them fell to the floor, leaning on each other and laughing.

Victor felt elated, his hand still tangled with Yuuri’s as they both sat there, trying to catch their breath. They both startled when Phichit’s voice called out.

“That was amazing, you two! Spectacular! Beautiful! Do you think you could do that for the performances?”

Victor rubbed the back of his neck, a slightly embarrassed smile spreading across his face. “I guess? Maybe Yuuri and I could choreograph something for it, do you think, Yuuri?” He turned to him, only to see Yuuri curled in on himself, his breathing as fast as it had been they had stopped dancing, but he should have been able to catch it by now, shouldn’t he? “Yuuri?” He asked, resting a hand gently on Yuuri’s shoulder, which caused Yuuri to flinch. He withdrew, wide eyes looking up at Phichit and Ms. Green in confusion.

“Oh shit.” Phichit breathed out, running up the stairs and over to them. In a very soft voice he asked, “Victor, I need you to scoot back, okay?” Victor just nodded and did as asked, watching as Phichit sat on the floor next to Yuuri, leaning over to whisper something to him without touching him. Yuuri nodded his head slightly, barely visible, and Phicht rested a hand on his shoulder, helping him stand. Victor watched helplessly as Phichit led Yuuri off the stage and to the back of the room. As Ms. Green called for everyone’s attention, telling them to run some lines with others in their scenes, he caught sight of Yuuri’s face, covered in tears, and his whole body shaking as Phichit whispered something to him. 

After a while of running lines with Sara, Ms. Green called out saying that practice was over for the day. Immediately, Victor ran over to Phichit, afraid to go over to Yuuri, who was still sat in the back of the auditorium, legs pulled up to his chest and watching the people on stage.

“Phichit,” Victor said, reaching out a hand to set it on Phichit’s shoulder before pulling back. “Is Yuuri okay?”

Phichit sighed, but nodded. “He is. He was just… a bit overwhelmed. I can’t explain much under best friend law, but he’ll be fine.” He smiled tightly up at Victor. “Don’t worry too much. It wasn’t anything you did, and he’s fine, I promise.”

Victor nodded, looking at the floor before glancing back at Yuuri again. Their eyes met and Victor gave him a small wave, which Yuuri returned, sort of, by lifting his fingers. But Victor smiled at him and went to gather his stuff.

When he got home, he looked at his phone to see a message from Yuuri.

I’m so sorry.

Victor squinted at the screen for a good five minutes, trying to decipher what Yuuri could possibly be sorry for, when another text message popped up, followed by two more.

i… um. ok. this is kind of hard for me to say, but i know you well enough to know you’re blaming yourself for what happened at practice, and i don’t want you to worry or be mad at yourself. 

i suffer from panic attacks sometimes, and that’s what happened earlier. i loved dancing with you, but a combination of breathlessness and the anxiety i get from being seen when i dance resulted in… well. you saw. 

i’m okay now, i promise. i didn’t mean to flinch when you touched me, that’s just kind of reflex. i don’t generally like being touched when i’m having an attack, especially with no warning. if it happens again, just quietly tell me if you’re going to touch me and wait for confirmation, okay?

Victor set his phone down and moved to his computer, immediately googling everything he could about panic attacks. After an hour of research, he picked his phone back up, and typed up a reply.

thank you for explaining. i’m not going to lie when i say i was scared when i saw you were crying and i didn’t know why. i promise if it happens again, i’ll be more careful ^^; i looked up some stuff on panic attacks, so i should have a little better an idea now?? i had never heard of them before…

omg you looked them up?????

of course! i want to be able to help you if it happens again, i don’t want you to be sad or in pain

i’m literally screaming ok thanks

dfghj don’t scream!!

too late.

Victor laughed to himself, glad that Yuuri at least seemed to be feeling better now. 

seriously though, thank you for trusting me enough to explain everything.

… always.

Day 22: Performances!! “Oh my GOD Yuuri! Can you believe that we have a performance TONIGHT?!”

Victor draped himself dramatically over Yuuri’s shoulder, to Yuuri’s apparent amusement. Since the day they danced, the two of them had grown a lot closer. Where before, Yuuri had been hesitant when Victor was near, and pulled away when Victor touched him, now he had grown accustomed to Victor’s casual touches, and his over-dramatic tendencies.

They had spent the last few weeks meeting up every weekend to work on their dance, wanting it to be as beautiful and as freeing as the first. They had both agreed to keep it secret until the performance, wanting to surprise the audience and the other actors and crew members, citing that they wanted the reactions on-stage to be genuine. But really, Victor’s motivation considerably more selfish, wanting to keep the dance Yuuri and he had had to himself for as long as possible.

But today was the day, and in a few hours their dance would be shared with everyone, no longer there for Victor to hoard for himself. That was okay, though. Because today, he had decided, would be the day he asked Yuuri to be his boyfriend. He had planned it all out. After the performance, he’ll grab Yuuri and pull him aside after they get their congratulations from the audience, and he’ll ask him there. And maybe, maybe if he is lucky, he’ll even kiss Yuuri. A real, true kiss.

“Victor get off, Phichit is trying to do my makeup.” Yuuri laughed, shoving his face playfully. “And you need to go get yours, too. There’s only an hour before showtime, you know.” Victor pulled himself off, and grabbed his own makeup, beginning to apply it himself.

“I know, but it feels so surreal! I can’t believe after tonight, you’ll no longer be my Cinderella. What if you find a new Prince Charming?” He half-joked.

“I could never replace you as my Prince, Victor.” Yuuri said quietly, his eyes shut while Phichit applied eyeshadow.

“Oh my God, Yuuri!” Phichit shouted, obviously delighted. “That was so cute!”

“Shut up, Phichit. Finish my makeup so I can get dressed.”

“But-”

“No.”

“Bu-”

“NO.”

Victor laughed at their banter, finishing his own makeup, a much more simple style than Yuuri’s. He grabbed his costume off the rack and went to change.

Then, it was showtime.

The play, for the most part, went off without a hitch. Of course, it was a live performance, so not everything was perfect. Victor almost knocked over a set piece, Sara dropped Yuuri’s glass slipper and almost ‘broke’ it, and someone came on too soon and had to improvise his way through it. But it was wonderful. Every scene Victor saw with Yuuri went wonderfully, even when someone forgot a line, Yuuri helped them get to it and he had his own lines memorized perfectly.

Once the curtains closed after the final scene and the applause sounded throughout the theater, the crew began moving set pieces back for bows, and Yuuri grabbed Victor’s wrist, dragging him to the back where they were to wait until it was their turn to bow, at the end.

“Victor,” Yuuri whispered at the sound of the curtains reopening, and the final song starting to play. “I need to ask you something.”

Now would be JJ, Michele, and Emil coming out to bow first.

“Yes?” Victor asked, furrowing his brow. Yuuri looked at the ground and fidgeted for a second. He reminded Victor of their audition together.

The applause died and began again. Seung-Gil and Sara, now.

“Will… Will you… Would you like to…”

Next was Otabek, another freshman, and Chris.

“Will you be my boyfriend?”

Victor’s heart stopped, his jaw dropping and his eyes widening. This wasn’t happening. Yuuri had beat him to it. He couldn’t help it, he laughed a little.

Unfortunately, Yuuri seemed to take it the wrong way.

“Oh- I’m- I’m sorry, that was so ridiculous of me. Of course you don’t.” He took a step back, taking a shuddering breath.

“No no no.” Victor gasped, reaching out and pulling Yuuri back, pulling him closer than before and leaning down to whisper to him. “You misunderstand, Yuuri. I was going to ask you the same thing after bows.” He smiled.

Yuuri blinked at him, confusion taking over his face before realization beat it out. “Oh my God.” He giggled. “Oh God.”

Victor hugged him. “You beat me to it.” He laughed, squeezing Yuuri tighter when he felt Yuuri returning his hug. “I would love to be your boyfriend, Yuuri, if you will have me.” Yuuri nodded against his chest and they both laughed again.

Victor took a quick glance out to who was bowing now.

Leo and Guang Hong. Only one more group.

“Yuuri, do you trust me?”

Georgi bowed. They were up.

“Of course.”

Victor pulled back and smiled, then they stepped onto the stage.

The lights were blinding, the applause thunderous. But Victor’s attention was on Yuuri, and Yuuri’s on Victor. Yuuri smiled at him, and Victor couldn’t wait another second.

He lifted a hand, placing it gently on Yuuri’s cheek and leaned in. Yuuri’s eyes widened, he took in a deep breath, but then he relaxed, and he met Victor halfway.

Their first kiss was spectacular. Under the warm stage lights, with the crowd in front of them and the rest of the cast behind them, as the last few notes of the song drew the production to a close. When they finally pulled apart, Victor drew Yuuri into a hug, laughing and whispering in his ear, "This was a much better production than ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.“ And Yuuri laughed his bright laughter, as they pulled apart to take a bow with the rest of the cast.

And the curtains shut, and the show was over.

Monster Mash AU // WKM+Present+Septic’s, suggestions & ideas welcome!

Okay, we’re back peeps! UPDATED RENDITION OF MY MONSTER MASH AU

Gonna start off with the WKM peepos! :D (Please note that Benjamin, Chef, and George are NOT included in this list.)

Actor!Mark: Mr. A-hole over here--not his fault, the house corrupted him, but still, it’s fun to call him Mr. A-hole--is a demon. Yup. ~>->~

Just as an fyi kinda thing, demon’s do NOT have wings; tails, horns, and extra appendages (this also includes eyes) are fine and optional, but they do NOT have wings whatsoever.

Damien: Mayor boyo is a selkie! However, he has NO siren attributes, since then, he’d basically just be Dark if he were to have any. (@foxtamer113)

Celine: The untrustworthy seer is still a siren.

William: Our lovely colonel boi remains a classic werewolf. Why? Because, he’s a scruffy, vicious, wolf boyo™.

District Attorney: (Included here because we were this character, so it’s only fair) Skinwalker. Obviously.

Abe: (I have a feeling we’ll be seeing Abe in at least one of the up-coming Warfstache vids, so that’s why he’s included here) Draconian; lizard-man!

Now, onto the present day Iplier egos! ;3 (feat. my own, Milo! Along with other fan-based ones that aren’t truly cannon.)

Mark: Angel of neutrality; basically just a human but w/ fluffy wings.

Milo: Angel of wrath, due to merciless passage of rite.

Please note that angels of sin (of which Milo is, however he is of a specified sin) are basically just winged demons but minus the (optional) horns, tail, and other extra appendages.

Also, he was inspired by God of War ;n;

Dark: Zelren Walker--official name of just wtf this 2 in 1 edge deal is xd Mix between a selkie, siren, zombie, AND skinwalker (may remove zombie portion, but I dunno. We’ll see). (@foxtamer113 w/ skinwalker realization xd)

Is more of a shape shifter than the traditional selkie; can become a siren w/ bottom half seal whenever, but usually when he’s off for a swim.

Wilford: Still a werewolf...dunno why this would change.

Host: Spoopy boogeyman; boogeyman can take many forms, so...yeah. Shuddap!! ;u; I actually like this idea anyways.

Google Brothers: Djinn’s; Neil/Blue and Jasper/Red use this for their own advantage far more often than Hunter/Green and Oliver/Yellow do. Lil’ sneaky bastard bots... >__> (@yintsunami)

Dr. Iplier: Goody-two shoed vampire; prefers drinking from small animals or from blood bags; will drink from others if starved. (@foxtamer113)

Bing Bros.: Leprechauns! No, not the sterotypical kind! No sterotypes here, not for my Bing Bois ;v; (@yintsunami)

Trimmer: Wendigo. Obviously. ;v;

Jims: Brownies; lil’ elf peeps. Honestly, they’re adorable. (@yintsunami)

Yan: Tanuki transgirl, ‘cause kitsunes are overrated! ~>->~

Mask: Spirit boi; what else would this spoopy boyo be?? xd

Bop: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Goop: He’s just...a pile of goop...he’s all melty and stuff, and...yeah.

Chef: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Artist: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Now for them Septic bois! :p

Sean: Angel of neutrality, just like Markimoo. ;v;

Anti: Spoopy centaur, but w/ lower-half spoodr. Specified species is Black Widow.

Still a demon-virus thingy, but now w/ bonus of partial spoodr bod.

Six legs, two arms, pincers on inside of mouth, acid saliva (can change how acidic it is, however, so kissing him is still plausible w/out harm), and (optional) eight eyes.

Chase: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Marvin: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Jameson: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Schneeps: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Jackieboyman: Ideas? Send ‘em in!

Axum: Same thing as big sis, but w/ more wolf attributes.

Also, yes, of course the darkstache kiddos are gonna have fancy names; who do you think I am?!

Antimark (Married) (yup xd)

Cristian: Spoodrangel. Yup; more like how Vivziepop draws. Imagine Angel Dust but w/ wings and more human features.

Because of her heritage, Crissy’s part angel (specified in neutrality) AND part virus-demon.

Also, yes, her name IS intentional xd

Six arms, two legs, fluffy (feathered) wings, pincers in mouth, acidic saliva, and (depends on if Anti drawn/written w/) eight eyes; just like Anti but w/ wings and is basically just an anthro spoodr xd

Also, got the name from a series of books entitled Inkheart!

Tobi: Joi’s identical twin bro; has more of Host’s creepy boogeyman attributes than Meggie.

Joi: Tobi’s identical twin sis; since they’re identical, they’re both the same in physical attribute regards just w/ differing personalities.

Got any idea’s for any other ships and possible lovechildren? Would love to see those too! :D I’m open to anything; just make sure to tell me a name, and I’ll update this from time to time.

Oh yeah, also, if you think I missed any egos, feel free to tell me those as well; willing to add onto this list! ^^

Review

Mediocre But Fast-Paced

I think what saves Plot Love from being unwatchable is the fast pacing. This is a drama that has little fillers as things move rather quickly with lots of happenings. Most of the episodes are around 30 minutes each which further increases the watchability. Hence, it is easy to just continue clicking onto the next episode after you have finished watching the one before. The drama also starts off strongly to me which is crucial to keep viewers’ interest. It has some level of suspense when it begins as we are not told what exactly the female protagonist is after and what happened in the past. It is the kind of drama whereby things are revealed gradually as the story progresses. The low budget is obvious just like for Mysterious Love but it does have a saving grace to make it watchable at the very least. A Very Fast Moving Plot In essence, Plot Love is a romance drama. But there are a number of issues thrown into the sub-plots. That is why it has to be fast moving since it only has 24 episodes to cover them all. There is the investigative element as the female lead suspects a crime has been committed against her guardian. Then, there are those jealous women who try to drive a wedge in the main couple. The male lead also has his own enemies to contend with. Add a son into the picture and you will have another side story to be told. With 3 evil characters, there is little time to spare for fillers. In exchange for the fast pace, character growth will have to be sacrificed. Simplicity takes precedence for the plot to move forward. So, it would be good for viewers who don’t like long-winded details like those found in You Complete Me. But it will be bad if you prefer more realistic plots that have greater depths. Jealous Third Parties A jealous third party is a norm in romance dramas. It is not often you will find gems such as Forever And Ever and You Are My Glory whereby third wheelers are not part of the feature. But Love Plot really takes the cake for having not one jealous woman but two. On top of that, there is also a man chasing after the female lead. Therefore, this is a drama that is kind of exaggerated in terms of plot. The third parties’ obsession borders on the psychotic. The saving grace is neither the male or the female lead is interested in their pursuers. Nevertheless, if you hate watching jealous love rivals going around sabotaging a couple’s relationship, then Plot Love should definitely be crossed out from your watch list. Poor Acting Let’s face it. The actors and actresses in this drama are certainly not going to get any nominations for their acting. They are not established names and watching their mediocre acting can be painful at times. I think Chen Shu Jun did slightly better than Ross Chen who can’t seem to show any emotions naturally. The way he squeezes his eyes or scrunches his face to express his emotions just look weird to me. Chen Shu Jun is more bland in her expressions but at least, I don’t get a weird feeling watching her. If there is to be a star in the drama, I think it should be the kid. Well, he is adorable but it is a pity that the parent-child chemistry is lacking compared to what you would find in Begin Again. As for the main couple, they do have some level of romantic chemistry. It is not exactly sizzling given the mediocre acting but good enough to pull the romance through. There are a number of kisses but not to the level of My Little Happiness or You Are My Glory. My Verdict – When You Have Nothing Better To Do… Despite the poor acting and obvious low budget production, Plot Love is still addictive in a strange way once you give it a go. I put it down to the strong start and fast pacing. Hence, you are more likely to watch all the way to the end to find out what happened. It is not a drama that you will miss or sad to see it end. It is just that you will want to quickly get to the finish line and move on. The progressive reveal also helps to keep the interest going. Apart from the above, just be aware that the drama is devoid of logic at times. For instance, you will find

the young kid is always running around on his own in a big city which is nonsensical. Basically, you can’t think too much and be critical of details when you watch Plot Love. You just have to delight in the couple’s interactions to find enjoyment in the drama. For this Plot Love review, I will hand it a score of 6.5/10. It has too many weaknesses although its fast-paced nature makes a difference in terms of overall watchability. It is okay if you really have nothing better to do for the day. At the very least, it is not draggy. But if you are fussy in terms of drama quality and acting skills, it will not meet those standards. It is actually a pity because the plot has the potential for a better drama given the strong female character. As it is, it feels cheaply made with all the tropes and unnecessary drama for the ultimate villain towards the end.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Epilogue

Masterlist

As the weeks passed, more nights were spent with Tom. The two of you were getting closer, and you were finally admitting to yourself that you actually liked the asshole, and you didn’t like it one bit.

Your two months anniversary was around the corner, and this morning the divorce papers had arrived. For a short moment, you had forgotten about the divorce. You had enjoyed spending time with Tom, and he was becoming a close friend. You wanted to be so much more than that, and every time you thought of the night, when he came home drunk, your heart skipped a beat. But of course, he had never told you how he felt while sober, so you concluded that it had been an attempt to sleep with you.

Not that you haven’t talked to him about the feelings between you. You agreed to stop hating each other, and to actually be friends, which quickly turned into friends with benefits, because well. The attraction was there, and none of you could deny it.

For a short moment, you had been happy, just the way you were, but the divorce papers broke your bubble. He didn’t see you that way, and he never would. Tom was out with his brothers, and you were just sitting in the kitchen, starring at the papers in front you. You couldn’t get yourself to sign them. The tiny hope in you, that the memory of drunk Tom had created, stopped you.

The rational part of your brain told you to get over it, because you were only setting yourself up for a heartbreak, but here you were. Hoping that he somehow could read your mind, and that he in some strange alternative universe would love you.

You decided to call your co-actor. The girl who was now your best friend. You needed to talk to someone about this, and since it this wasn’t something you could talk to everyone about, it had to be someone you could trust.

***

“What’s up? Ready for a girl’s day?” She asked, as she entered your apartment. She had a big smile on her face, as she always did.

“Yes, and most importantly, girl talk. I really need that today” You sighed, as she let herself fall down onto the couch next to you.

“Are you okay? You never want to do girl talk, so something must be really bothering you” She shot you a look, and you could tell she was preparing herself for the worst.

“Well. I’m kinda… I’m falling in love with Tom, and I can’t stop it. I’ve tried ignoring it, I’ve tried denying it, and nothing. I’m still in love with him, and I don’t know what to do” You let out, and you saw the confused expression on her face.

“How is that a problem? You are married to him. You should be in love with him. I really don’t see how this can be a problem for you. You guys are the definition of true love, and all of Hollywood adore you” She tried sending you a smile, but the confusion didn’t leave her face.

“It isn’t real. The marriage isn’t real. Or, the marriage is, but the romance is not. I woke up after a night out in Vegas, and I was married to Tom. I only stayed married to him, for the PR. It would be bad for his career, if it got out, and it helped mine. We hated each other. Over the past weeks, we’ve become friends. We have sex, but there’s no romance. We agreed to stay married for about 2 months, and the divorce papers came today, and I kinda don’t want a divorce anymore” You told her.

“Are you shitting me? So all the interviews? All the longing looks you have been giving each other on camera has been fake?” Her face had dropped, and she was now looking at you with wide eyes.

“Pretty much, yeah” You shrug your shoulders.

“And you actually ended up falling in love with him? That’s kinda cute” Once again, you realized just how much of a hopeless romantic she was.

“Except he doesn’t feel the same. And I don’t think he will. So I’m stuck here, madly in love with this arrogant asshole that I’m about to divorce” You felt your heart drop, as you said the words out loud. Somehow saying it out loud, made it seem more real. You could no longer deny it, even if you wanted to.

“How can you be sure? Maybe he’s just scared to tell you? Maybe you’ll have to force it out of him” She sent you a smirk, and now it was your turn to look at her confused.

“And how on earth am I supposed to do that? It’s not like I’ve spent the last few weeks, trying to get him to say it. It’s hopeless”

“No, it’s not. Just leave out the divorce papers. If he doesn’t sign them, he doesn’t want a divorce. Easy as that. He’d have to talk to you about it then, right?” She asked, with a raised eyebrow.

“But what if he doesn’t mention it? What if he just doesn’t see? Or he decides to just keep up the act for a little while longer?” You asked her.

“Then you sign the papers, and see what happens. Because either he signs it, and you get your answer. If he doesn’t, you can confront him, and you’ll get your answer”

***Same time, another place***

“The divorce papers came today” Tom let out to Harrison, after his brothers had left.

“So? Just sign them, and get it over with?” Harrison answered, as he took a sip of his tea.

“I don’t know if I want to? I actually managed to fall in love with her, and I don’t know. I don’t think I’m ready to let go of her yet. We’re finally moving forward, and we’re actually friends. We even sleep and the same bed, and it’s not every night that we have sex. We just cuddle, while watching movies” Tom told his best friend, hope for some kind of advice.

“So stay together? If you guys are in love, you can just. Not get divorced” Harrison tried, but it wasn’t the answer Tom was looking for.

“But she’s not in love with me. All our relationship is to her, is friends with benefits. She doesn’t want to stay married to me, and if she does, it’s only for the publicity” Now Harrison realized how much it was bother his friend.

“I think you should test it. Let her sign the papers first. If she doesn’t, you can ask her, and maybe she’ll surprise you. Maybe she does love you” Harrison tried cheering up his friend.

“What if she don’t? Then what do I do? Harrison, I really like her. I don’t know if I would be able to get over her” Tom felt his heart sink at the thought. How could he possibly get over someone like that?

“If she breaks your heart, you just distract your mind. Find some other girl, and just try to forget her” It wasn’t something Tom would normally do, and Harrison knew that. But he also knew the look in his best friend’s eyes. He wouldn’t get over her by crying his heart out. He would need to forget all about her, because he had fallen in with both legs.

***

A week passed, and no one had signed the papers. They had just been laying on the kitchen isle, without any of you acknowledging their existence. As suspected, Tom didn’t say anything, so you tried listing to your best friend. You signed the papers while he was in the shower.

When Tom got out of the bathroom, you were sitting on the couch, pretending to look at your phone, while you were eyeing him. When he saw the signed papers, the smile disappeared from his face, but you couldn’t read his face.

“I. I eh. I’m gonna go out for a bit. I really need a night out” He said with a stern voice, never once looking directly at you.

“It’s not even noon. It’s a little early for a night out, don’t you think?” You joked, trying to get a reaction from him, but nothing.

“Then I’ll take a day out. Don’t wait up for me. I don’t know when I’ll be back” There was still no emotion in his voice, and when he walked out the door you felt you heart break. He didn’t talk to you about it. He didn’t try to convince you to stay married. He just did nothing.

Your mind was racing, and you didn’t know what to make of the situation. Did it mean that he wanted a divorce? If he did, wouldn’t he be happy? If he actually wanted to be with you, he would’ve said something. He should’ve said something.

The next hours went by, with you walking aimlessly around the apartment, trying to forget all about Tom for a moment, but you couldn’t. Why would he so suddenly go out, if the signed divorce paper didn’t affect him? It had to do something to him, because he had left in a hurry. He hadn’t signed the papers right away, so that had to be a good thing, right?

Maybe he had left, because he was upset. Maybe he actually liked you, and you had hurt him by signing the papers. Maybe he hadn’t signed them yet, because he was waiting for what you would do as well?

The thought made you happy, and you really hoped that was the case. You didn’t like thinking about how you might have hurt him, but you really loved the thought of him loving you enough to be upset that you signed the divorce papers.

Just as you had settled on the reason, the door went up. You were preparing yourself to talk to Tom, and explain it all, but as he walked into the apartment, with his lips attached to another girl, you felt you heart shatter in a million pieces.

You couldn’t believe your own eyes. You had just decided that you were going to tell him, because you actually thought that he might actually have feelings for you, but how wrong you were. Of course that idiot went out celebrating being single. Oblivious to your feelings, he brought back some random girl.

“Are you kidding me right now?” You asked, not even caring about how mad you sounded.

“Oh, y/n. You’re still here. This is. Doesn’t matter what her name is, actually” He had that stupid smirk on his lips, as the girl’s hands went under his shirt.

“What? You just picked up the first slut you met? No offence to you, because it’s honestly Thomas being a huge asshole” You could feel the anger rising, and you wanted nothing more than to push the girl away from him.

“Why do you care? We are getting divorced, so it really shouldn’t matter” The stern tone was back, and he glared at you with cold eyes.

“Technically, we are not, because you haven’t signed the papers! Couldn’t you just for once be a decent human being? You really didn’t have to cheat on me!” You yelled, and the random girl backed away from Tom, and looked at him confused.

“Are you serious? You’re married?” She asked surprised, and both you and Tom rolled your eyes at her.

“Yeah, but you did, didn’t you? You decided to just wait an entire week, and then just randomly sign it today? Do you even realize what day it is?” He asked, voice raised.

“You didn’t sign them either! But I can see that you clearly wanted to! You couldn’t even wait until you had signed them, before you go sleeping around! Couldn’t you at least go to her place?” It had been a while since you had been fighting, and even in the beginning it had never been this hateful. Even with how mad you had been in the start, you had never been this upset or angry over something that he did.

There was a knock on the door, and without saying a word, Tom opened it. A boy walked in, with a huge bouquet of roses. You looked at Tom confused, because you hadn’t ordered any flowers.

“It’s our two months anniversary. These were for you, because I thought I would do something nice for you today. I didn’t expect you to sign the papers today of all days!” He yelled, as he took the flowers and just threw them on the ground. The flower boy quickly left the room, and you completely understood why. You wanted to leave as well.

“Oh! I see! Another grand gesture, to show how great a husband you are! Or wait. Maybe it’s an apology for wasting two months of my life! Because that’s the only thing you’ve even been! A waste of time. A cheating waste of time!” You yelled at him. He didn’t get to play the victim, he was far from innocent.

“You signed the papers! You’re the one who want a divorce! So why do you care if I’m with someone else? Because unlike you, she’s actually a nice person!” He yelled back, and from the corner of your eye, you could see the girl getting uncomfortable.

“I think I’ll just leave. I’m really sorry. I didn’t know he was married.” She apologized and walked towards the door.

“You don’t have to leave” Tom said, looking at the girl.

“I know. But cheating assholes aren’t really my type, so…” And with those words, she left. She even slammed the door behind her.

“Happy? You got what you wanted! I’m not sleeping with anyone now!” He rolled his eyes, and unconsciously you started walking towards him.

“Why should I be happy?! You cheated on me! You could’ve at least signed the goddamn papers first! You made yourself the asshole, not me! So don’t you dare blame me, just because the girl you decided to bring home is actually a decent person!” You yelled, as you stood right in front of him.

He didn’t hesitate, to you into a kiss. One of his hands were on your chin, and the other was on your waist. He had never kissed you with so many emotions before, but in this moment, you didn’t care. You pushed him away, as slapped him in the face. You could feel your hand sting, as a red mark started to form on his cheek.

“No! You don’t get to do that! You can’t just kiss me, and expect it to be okay! It won’t work this time, because you really screwed up!” You said coldly, as he carefully touched his cheek. He opened his mouth to say something, but you didn’t let him.

“Just sign the papers. I don’t want to stay married to you for another minute” You said, as you walked towards your room, and shut the door. You threw yourself on the bed, and allowed the tears to fall. This was the reason you tried to deny it. You knew you were going to end up with a broken heart.

Some time passed, and you heard a gently knock on the door.

“Y/n, I’m sorry. Please, just come out, so we can talk about it” Tom spoke softly, from the outside of your door.

“There’s nothing to talk about! As soon as you signed the papers, I’ll never have to see you again. And I don’t want to either!” You yelled to the door, burying yourself in the bed.

“No. I won’t sign it! Not until you talk to me. I’m begging you” He pleaded, and you rolled your tearful eyes.

“Just go away!” You yelled, your voice getting muffled by the pillow. You didn’t get an answer, so you let yourself fall apart. You cried your eyes out, and eventually you fell sleep.

***

You woke up to a gentle knock on the door. The skin around your eyes was dry. The anger was gone, but it had left your body with a sadness, that made it hard to breathe.

“Y/n, I know you don’t want to talk to me, but I’m going to talk to you anyway. You don’t have to answer. You don’t even have to listen, but I would appreciate it if you did” Tom spoke softly. His voice was raw, and you had never heard him sound so upset.

“I know I made a mistake today, and I know I can’t fix it. When I saw your signature on the divorce papers, you broke my heart. I didn’t know what to do, so I wanted to forget you. It was something Harrison said, and honestly, it’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever done. It didn’t even work, because all I could think of, was how much I wished she was you” You frowned your brows at his words, but didn’t say anything.

“I never hated you. I wasn’t that fond of you in the start, I’ll admit that. I was attracted to you from the beginning, but you were so cold, so I just acted the way I thought you expected me to. And then I realized how ridiculously hot you are when you’re angry. I love the way we used to fight. It was always in the heat of the moment, and the sex would just be so passionate afterwards. Then you started being a tease. Like when you practised you lap dance. You knew exactly what you were doing to me.

When I met your mom, I started to feel bad for you. The way she spoke to you, her lack of support. When you cried, something changed. I found myself wanting to make you smile, wanting to make you feel better. I was starting to care about you, even if you didn’t notice.

Then you had your period, and I couldn’t not care. I started to fall in love with you that weekend. You asked me to stay, and in that exact moment, I realized that I couldn’t stop myself from falling in love with you.

You were so honest. You said you didn’t like me, but that the sex was great. It hurt a bit, I’ll admit that. But for a while, I was happy with just being with you, so I guess I settled. Then I went to the set with you, and I just got so jealous.

I know it wasn’t fair, but I just couldn’t help it. I don’t remember much of that day, because I tried drinking my feelings for you away. Harrison saw that, and I think he realized just how badly I had fallen for you. I was so happy when I woke up next to you. I don’t know what happened, but after that night, we started actually talking together.

We started spending more time together, and I didn’t think it was possible, but at this point I was still falling. Then came the divorce papers. I waited, to see what you would do. I was hoping that you wouldn’t sign it. It had been a week, so I thought I was safe.

It’s been 2 months. I ordered the flowers, and I wanted to tell you how I felt. Then I saw that you had signed it. It broke my heart. I know I can’t get over you, so I tried to forget about you. I didn’t work. I tried, and I think I ended up hurting you, and that’s the thing I regret the most.

I didn’t mean to, I really didn’t. I thought that was it. That you didn’t have any feelings for me, because why would you sign them, if you did? So, I’m sorry. I’m so very sorry. I know it doesn’t fix anything, but it’s all I got”

You quietly walked towards the door, as he spoke. His voice cracked a couple of times, and you could clearly hear the sorrow in his voice. You opened the door, to find him sitting against the wall, right next to the door.

“It’s not fair. You can’t just break my heart, and then tell me how much you love me” You whispered, as he got off the floor.

“I’m sorry. If you want, I’ll sign the papers. You can tell the whole world how big an idiot I am, because I am. You can tell everyone that I cheated on you, and I won’t deny it” He said, fighting to hold back the tears.

Without a word, you went to the kitchen isle, and took the paper. A look of defeat filled his face, as you walked towards him with the paper.

“Tom. I don’t want a divorce. I���m so terribly scared to get hurt, and I really hope you understand that” You tore the paper in half, and his eyes lit up. “There’s obviously something between us, so maybe we should try. But if you ever hurt me, I will leave. You only get one second chance”

“One is all I need”

Do You Wanna Know My Secret? Part 2 - Tom Holland x Reader

The first part was basically stuff everyone already knew from what Tom said on chat shows so here is part 2!!!!

Warnings: cursing and mentions of food

Side note: I have 3 more stories coming soon including hot chocolate part 2 so y'all better get excited!! If you have requests for part 2 of hot chocolate or part 3 of this one let me know!! Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes! :)

*PLEASE COMMENT AND REQUEST I LOVE WRITING*

Heads up!!! Tom’s school ID while he was at the Bronx School for Science said his name was BEN so that’s why it says Ben sometimes ok bye :)

————————————————— Tom heard the audience laugh as he laughed along with him. It was his first time on a chat show and he had so much fun telling people that story about you in the classroom. Robert Downey Jr. was to his right and Jimmy Kimmel was to his left. All he could think in his head was that you were watching the show and you would someone contact Tom to talk to him about mentioning you on live television. He missed you and wished he could’ve kept in touch. The audience and the viewers watching adored that story. But he didn’t even get to the best part, and he never would get the chance.

———

As soon as the bell rang for 4th period to be over you began hurrying to put your calculus papers away in your folder. You started for the door to leave.

“Wait!” Ben shouted. Trying to catch you on your way out of the classroom.

You groaned in a playful annoyance.

“What is it Ben, if that’s even your real name.” You joked, turning around.

‘Ironic.’ He thought as he pulled out his phone.

“Okay I swear I’m telling the truth, give me your number or Snapchat and we can talk.” He said handing you his unlocked phone.

“Why do you even care if I believe you?! I’m just a random kid from your calculus class Ben.” You hand handing him back his phone.

“Please–” he hesitated, not ever figuring out your name, “Shit what’s your name I’m so sorry but you never told me.” He said pleadingly.

“Oh my god.” You rolled your eyes, who was this kid and why did he care so damn much. “Dude. Your stopping me from getting to lunch. That’s dangerous.” You said jokingly but the tone quickly turned to a serious one. You were getting hangry.

Ben (Tom) laughed a little. “Okay. Okay. But can I at least sit with you at lunch, you’re legit the only person I’ve talked to yet.”

You felt bad, it’s always hard being the new kid. “Alright, but while I eat your explaining all of this to me, kapeesh?”

“Deal!” He said with an excited grin.

You began at a brisk pace out of the classroom, the boy to almost tripped trying to catch up to you.

“Jeez, can you slow down!?” He blurted out of breath.

You turned and glared at him angrily, scaring the boy into shutting up.

When you finally reached an empty table in the courtyard, you gestured for the brown haired boy to sit as you began to eat your sandwich.

“Okay. So.” He began, “My name is Tom Holland–”

You began to almost choke on your food.

TOM FUCKING HOLLAND!?!?!!?!? You thought. You knew the name, you just thought the boy resembled the actor. Considering he looked like an actual teenager sitting in front of you.

The boy paused. Staring at you, trying to hide a chuckle.

“Holy fuck. I didn’t-you-what-no-couldn’t-what the fuck!?” Is all you managed to get out.

“So…. you’ve heard of me?” The boy asked rhetorically. While taking a mouthful of goldfish.

“Hang on. You look so different, like your hair and your clothes-oooohh, see, I knew it, you’ve got the same jawline, damn.” You said more to yourself than him, nodding your head.

“You were looking at my jawline?” He giggled, causing to just stare wide-eyed ahead of you. Not looking at him.

You slowly took a bite of your sandwich, acting as a kid would when they thought they couldn’t be seen.

“Haha, that’s hilarious,” Tom laughed, “um.. okay so I’m here cause Sony sent me to see what a high school is like so I can get into the role of Peter Parker.”

“Wow.” You responded.

“Yup.” He nodded, eating more goldfish.

“So.–” You started.

Tom looked confused as you didn’t continue your sentence.

“Oh. Um, I didn’t actually have something to say.” You laughed looking embarrassed.

“Well, what about you? Why do you go here?” He asked. He wanted to know everything about you. You were extremely intriguing to him.

“Oh. Um, I go to this school cause I wanna pursue science.” You said with a ‘duh’ tone. That’s why everyone else was at this school after all.

“Well, no shit. But I mean like, what do you like about science? What’s your background? Your future??” He asked desperately not trying to sound stupid.

“I like science because there’s literally always something new to figure out, there’s not always a right answer, but just a right path. Like a lab in class, you know what you’re supposed to do, what you end up with can be completely different from the person next to you.” Tom admired you deeply as you talked so passionately. “My background, I come from a big family, I have two older brothers and one older sister. They drive me fucking crazy but I love them. My dad works in an office and my mom works with kids. I use to live in Washington, D.C. but we moved here a few years ago so I get what it’s like being the new kid. I used to be a gymnast so I do indeed know how to do a few flips, but now I do ballet at a small studio downtown. I work at the café on 3rd St during the summer and I really like it cause I’m obsessed with lattes and what not. Basic, I know. I like art and pottery, but I also like sports and stuff. And I’m obviously a huge nerd cause of Science and stuff, plus there’s always video games and I bet you’d enjoy hearing the fact that I like comics and superheroes. My brother, Kevin, always liked that stuff too, that’s the thing we have most in common. So ya, that’s me.” You finally finished simply with a smile.

Tom just sat there, stunned. Yeah he had asked you for a backstory but that was more of an entire book.

“Wow-um-okay.” He choked on his words.

There was a moment of silence as you realized how much you rambled. You probably sounded crazy, you thought.

“Sorry Tom, haha, I probably sound crazy right now.” You laughed.

“No, no! It’s fine. I like the way you talk, it’s kinda comforting, knowing someone has a personality like that.” He said leaving a blush to creep onto your cheeks.

“Th-thanks.” You said shyly. Why did his words make you so flustered!?

More awkward silence took place as you both finished eating lunch. You still had a good 20 minutes before lunch was over so you resorted to your phones, but still held a conversation about personality.

“Wait. Wait, you what?” You almost screamed of laughter.

“Yeah yeah,” Tom said sarcastically, “don’t laugh, it’s embarrassing.”

“I can’t help it,” you giggled, trying to stop laughing.

And slowly you got quiet, he sighed in relief that the topic had changed. But after a few seconds you couldn’t help it.

“But you went to the party AS Spider-Man!?!” You blurted out, laughing hysterically.

“Hey!!” He scolded you almost but he couldn’t help but laugh.

You both laughed a bit and continued talking until lunch was over.

While you were walking back from lunch a kid dropped his books, you instantly stopped talking to tom to help the boy. Smiling at the student before returning to Tom. You were the nicest girl he had ever met.

With every word you spoke he slowly liked you more and more. You were beautiful, you had the personality of literally his dream girl, and genuine and sweet and funny and adorable

You were practically perfect for him. But he still didn’t know your name. —————————————— If you wanna be tagged comment and I’ll add you to my tags list! Working on a masterlist right now for my blog and it will be up soon! Love you guys!!

Using the Bone Tool in Adobe Flash

A puppet is a figure of a person or other living being frequently constructed with jointed limbs, suitably painted and costumed, and moved usually on a stage by a pole or by hand from below or by strings or wires. It is usually controlled by an external force and its movement isn't inherent but is caused. Puppets are utilized to entertain in lots of actual people.

Using puppets has a lengthy history. Greeks were the first ones. Producing such shows was expensive, and considering that Greeks were fond of theatrical props, puppets were employed to take the place of actors. Puppets were made to resemble real characters and their movements are due to manipulating wires the sticks or strings.

Kinds of Puppets

The first sort of puppet is that the puppet which controlled and is typically suspended by a range of strings. Another kind is that the hand puppet, which is controlled by one hand that occupies the puppet's inside. A Ticklebug is a four-legged puppet, similar to a hand puppet by drawing attributes on the hand 21, but made. Black light puppet is lit only with black lighting with both hides the puppeteer and enriches this puppet's colours.

Other kinds are the Bunraku which originated from Japan; the Ventriloquist dummy; the Rod puppet which is very similar to a marionette; however, is operated by a pole instead of strings; the Marotte that's a simplified rod puppet that is merely a head and/or body on a pole; a Shadow puppet which is a 2-dimensional rod puppet that operated behind a display and a light source projected in the rear produces a shadow of the puppet on the screen that may be seen from the audience; the Water Puppetry which is native to Vietnam; the Wayang which is an undercover puppet; the Human-Arm Puppet or a Two-Man Puppet that's somewhat like a hand puppet but is larger and requires two puppeteers; the BuDaiXi that's a Chinese puppet series; the Digital Puppet that's a digitally animated figure; along with the Finger Puppet which is little type that just fits onto a single finger.

Among the best things about After Effects is whether you can create animations that are intricate, It's used for some of the most famous Hollywood character cartoons we understand, You May Also create simple, helpful and Usable animations on your first moment.

Learning procedure or any new instrument, it is valuable to establish that the 'fundamentals', the fundamental tools that form the building blocks for this particular tool and in After Effects or any timeline based animation tool, the basics are layers and stopwatches.

What are 'stopwatches' ? Stopwatches are the point and click tool that you use to identify a place at which quality or a specific event is set, the icons. When you 'click' a stop watch you are creating a keyframe on the timeline for that property. When this event will take place, you are telling your animation. The easiest example is place. You have an animated ball, a ball that is bouncing. At position and time 0, the commencement of your animation is on a ledge. It is nudged off. 1 second, your ball's place is half way to the ground, at 2 minutes, it strikes the floor it is so on and back in the atmosphere from a bounce.

Your 'stopwatch' is the tool you use to place those keyframes, to 'lock in' a new value for the characteristic that that you are animating, in this scenario, the ball's job. At every specifying or second event above, you click on your stopwatch beside your position feature, and the position value is listed for that moment. When you play your animation back, you see the values you specified played out to the rankings you defined at the exact time you recorded.

Using After effects text animation is one of the basic tools in logo animation. When it comes to media cartoon among the design choices and which tool is best for the task depends on your logo is primarily text and can be represented with a text application whether the animations that are available for text.

Let us first look at how you would go about animating your logo if it is largely a text symbol with a few graphic highlights. One of the most effective set of presets from the Adobe is your text animations. Just about everything you can imagine, what you've observed from text tumbling to sliding in to colors, from 1 side or another and luminous can be obtained as a text preset.

Use the text tool to create your logo text, picking your font. Create. Directly across in the text 'twirl down' arrow would be the 'Animate' attribute with it's twirl down pair of animate features. Pick 'position' . You will instantly see a component Digital Puppets under your text, 'Animator 1' using it's own place component and a 'Range Selector'. Twirl open the range selector to view 'start', 'end', and 'cancel' options, each with it's own stopwatch suggesting that every property can be animated.

We know about 'a picture says a thousand words'. For a quick illustration to realize how simple it's to prepare an animation using these basic configurations, place the range selector to it's default values of 0 percent for Start, 100% for End, and 0% for Offset. Set the range selector position 0,-200 (0 for x cancel, -200 for y offset). This setting for y will position your text above your stage.

Click on the stopwatch at time '0', move your deadline to 3 seconds and move the Start value to 100%. Scrub the timeline then preview your animation. You will see your text decreasing 'out of the skies'. For one easy setting that will add another touch of diversity using a single switch, look under the 'Advanced' section of your Range Selector for 'Randomized Order' and click on this from off to on. When your characters chanced upon the stage, they appear. This is a really popular effect with television and movie introductions, commercials, and needless to say, web site logos.

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Darkside of Dimensions reaction

I will not call this a review- it’s more a KEYSLAM OF FEELINGS that I need to get off my fangirl chest while I’m still super hyped from the screening!

Cut for spoilers!

Okay so- first of all going to the screening was fun. As I’m waiting in the queue to get my ticket (while trying to discreetly look around and see if any YGO cosplayers came along) there’s a group of 3 teenage boys behind me and I catch some of their conversation.

“Dude- I can’t see the movie listed? Do you think they’re not showing it?”

“No man, it’s just too ‘indie’ so there not bothering to put it on the board. It’ll be on, trust me, I check before we came.”

At this point I’m internally going !!!! because maybe they’re going to see Yugi on the big screen too??? And then one of them adds really nervously-

“Oh man, what if they say we need like, a kid with us to go see it? What if we’re too old for a YGO cartoon?”

And I’m just smiling and trying not to laugh because you poor thing- I am 10 years older then you and going to see this movie by myself. You will be fine. I nearly said something but in the end decided against it because I didn’t want to embarrass them. XD

And then their was the lovely experience of buying my ticket! I was kinda internally bracing myself, paranoid that I was going to get ‘looks’ from the person on the desk? (ah social anxiety, always popping up right when I don’t want you). In fact I found myself talking to a girl about my age, who BEAMED when she heard what I was going to see, and gushed that she REALLY wanted to see it today too but she had to work! She even made a point of telling me that I should make sure to get my goody bag when I enter the film (I had no idea they were giving away freebies) and hoped I enjoyed myself!

So yes, that was lovely! (btw- in the end no YGO cosplayers were spotted- I was sad)

Now ONTO THE FILM ITSELF- my thoughts.

I LOVED the ‘going to school’ scene. The characterisations were so on point. Joey’s wild bike ride into school is exactly the sort of thing I could see him doing, and I loved how Tristan grabbed onto his bike at the last second and helped him turn it so they could JUST make it through the gates in time. Those two love to give each other a hard time but they are also just RIDICULOUSLY in-synch when it comes to the crunch.

Yugi still walking to school with Tea but now being shy about meeting her at his house was C-U-T-E.

Oh look at Bakura, still dealing with the fangirls.

That scene of the five friends talking about their dreams on the school roof was ADORABLE. I love how they’re all so supportive of each other. Bless these children.

Joey cannot be separated from his duel disk- god these kids are too cute.

‘I can’t believe you got it confiscated for polishing it during class’ ‘I don’t know- it took guts to do it during our maths final’ omg Joey you did not.

‘I know that guys been in our class all year- but what’s his name?’ Guys forget his name just look at his hair and you know he’s going to be a main character.

JOEY GOT HIS DUEL DISK BACK! *throws confetti*

Very sweet moment of Yugi missing Atem and supportive friends being considerate about it and telling him it’s okay. ;A;

JOEY LEAPING THE FREAKING BRIDGE TO HELP SOMEONE HE BARELY KNOWS FROM 5 BULLIES. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS GOLDEN RETRIEVER. #EVERYONE NEEDS A FRIEND LIKE JOEY.

DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE KAIBA CORB CONSTRUCTION SIGN HAD A CHIBI BLUE-EYES WEARING A LITTLE HARD HAT??

Oh look the kid with main-character hair can make people vanish and summon a freaky army of glowy eyed demon children.

Kaiba is just being so EXTRA throughout this whole movie and I LOVE IT.

Kaiba is battling Atem and I’m immediately calling that this is one of his holograms.

CALLED IT

‘Even his perfectly coifed hair- that was the hardest part’ *PRIDESHIPPING*

Okay but Kaiba crunching his water bottle and immediately demanding that the person who created it is to be fired because ‘no KC product should be so flimsy’ I just- SDFDSFDSDFS

Aww look, Joey’s letting Tristan fix his precious duel disk- he really does trust him.

DUKE. SHOWED. UP. \0/

NOW. WHERE. IS MAI?

.........The dog mascot turned out to be Joey doing a part time job. OF COURSE IT WAS. WHAT IS IT WITH THIS SERIES AND PUTTING JOEY IN A DOG SUIT?? (I cannot speak I keep referring to him as a golden retriever)

SETO HAS HIS BLUE EYES JET. *ticks that off on the YGO movie bingo card* Also Mokuba is adorable- have I mentioned this yet? Because he is.

...........Did Seto just get hit with magic strong enough to warp/destroy dimensions and just SHRUG IT OFF.

I’m dying- this is the most powerful magic in the world and Seto just swatted it away like BITCH DON’T TOUCH THIS. Diva’s face is priceless.

I mean I know his new super duel disk was supposed to be doing something too but...come on we all know it was all just Seto’s willpower/ego right? 

MORE DUELING.

.......Seto’s strategy seems to be SUMMON MORE DRAGONS.

Seriously how many OP’D versions of blue eyes does this man now have in his deck?

THE THOUGHT OF LOSING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ATEM AGAIN WAS ENOUGH TO LET HIM SUMMON A FREAKING GOD FROM THE OTHER SIDE. #HE HAS IT SO BAD #THIS MOVIE COULD BE A PRIDESHIPPING FIC

Lets give it up for Seto ‘I need alone time to deal with this puzzle so I’m gonna build a FREAKING SPACE STATION you can only reach by SPACE ELEVATOR’ Kaiba. #King of being EXTRA.

More mystical/tragic backstory stuff keeps being revealed about Diva and his sister/their family. I really wish I could say I cared but I...really didn’t? I felt so indifferent about Diva and his plight. I just wanted to get back to Yugi, the gang, and the Kaiba brothers.

BABY BAKURA IN A FLASHBACK NOTHING COULD BE BETTER THEN-

I TAKE IT BACK WE NOW HAVE BABY YAMI-BAKURA IN A FLASHBACK. THIS IS THE BEST LOOK AT THE TINY HOMICIDAL SOCIOPATH GO.

I just noticed Joey’s duel disk is SIGNED slay me.

Joey’s trapped in a memory world that’s disintegrating around him. I’m so betting that a ‘friendship’ memory turns out to be so strong it’s ‘unbreakable’ and saves him.

IT. WAS. A. MEMORY. OF. YUGI/ATEM.

I really wanted Yugi/Atem to like hold out a hand and pull Joey to safety though?? I mean the dramatic posing was ACE don’t get me wrong but I wanted hand holding.

Personally I read this scene as Atem taking advantage of the fact Joey was between the living and the dead (dying?) to reach out and give him a nudge in the right direction. It gave me so many feels but I REALLY WISH HE’D HELD OUT HIS HAND AND WE’D GOT TO SEE JOEY GRASPING IT AND ATEM PULLING HIM UP.

JOEY THANKED YUGI MY HEART

.........Did Kaiba just shoot down a jet WITH A PERSON INSIDE IT with his blue eyes???

I didn’t read that wrong right?? THERE WAS A PERSON IN THAT JET AND SETO BLEW IT UP. I DIDN’T SEE A PARACHUTE.

*squints* ...Did Seto set that jet up to crash just so he could shoot it down directly over his stadium with his dragon and show off how AWESOME his new system is?

................okay then I guess the movie is just glossing over that.

omg. Kaiba’s speech.

I can’t.

‘I’ve never settled fro mediocrity and neither should you’

‘this world is poorly designed. If someone from my company had made it I’d fire them’ I’M DYING

YUGI BEING A BAWSE DAYUM.

I just noticed all the kids in the crowd cosplaying as duel monsters. That’s adorable.

DUELING.

Kaiba and Yugi dueling yay!!

Seriously how many OP’d version of blue eyes does Kaiba have?

I LOVE THE NEW DARK MAGICIAN GIRLS.

‘You’re fighting me with fruit?’ (all the audience laughed)

‘....You really don’t like dragons do you?’ (more laughter)

I get the feeling the voice actors really enjoyed themselves making this movie XD

Yugi tries to gently show Kaiba (Kaiba who at my current count has: ripped up an ancient landmark, invented a new duelling system, kidnapped a teenager, held a tournament and built a SPACE STATION and millennium puzzle solving robot just to see Atem)  that, sorry buddy Atem is really-super gone.

Kaiba immediately REJECTS THIS. #he really REALLY has it bad.

MORE DUELING.

Diva + Ring = Much badness.

See I couldn’t see Atem coming back from the dead just for a rematch with Kaiba (sorry Kaiba) but ‘the world is ending’? Yeah, that seems serious enough.

‘I believe in ....the heart of the cards.’ MY HEART.

HE’S BACK!!!!!

..........He’s not going to say anything is he.

HE’S SERIOUSLY NOT GOING TO SAY A SINGLE THING??

I mean, I get it, this is all supposed to show that Yugi is now the main character and stands on his own but but but but BUT-!!!

AT LEAST LET THEM HIGH FIVE.

;A;

‘He’s fine, he wishes us will’ these hedgehog babies are so close they can communicate so much with just a nod #puzzleshipping

‘You had your bond with him, and I had mine’ #BACK TO PRIDESHIPPING

Everyone’s graduating and growing, yay!!

.........Except Kaiba. What is Kaiba doing?

omg.

Omg.

He is not.

He is NOT doing what I think he’s-

*INCOHERANT SCREAMING*

And those are my thoughts!
