#Also happy anniversary to Scary movie too!

[luckyshinyhunter]

⛏️💎 Happy anniversary to the 7D, I remember watching it for the first time in the premiered and enjoyed it!

Pretty hilarious how it premiered the same day Scary movie did, such a shame how it got canceled and it's not on Disney Plus, despite not being a big show like the other big shows that we know from Disney, it deserves a lot better like the other underrated but canceled cartoons that we know!

Maybe one day it will get the respect it deserves but who knows, all I know is happy anniversary to our favorite dwarfs in Jollywood!💎⛏️

- 🫐 anon <3

Watching movies with the JJK boys

Ft. Megumi, Toge, and Yuuta

________________

Megumi Fushiguro 🦾

- Megumi may seem reserved, but when it comes to movie dates, he's all in. He never enjoyed going out in public for dates anyway. He appreciates that you take the initiative to invite him over for a movie night.

- His favorite genre may not be horror, but he's willing to watch it with you because he enjoys seeing you get excited. He'll make sure to bring that worn down tortilla blanket that you got him for your first anniversary.

- Megumi isn't too touchy-feely normally, but during the movie, he'll subtly reach out to hold your hand or play with your fingers, letting you know that he's still madly in love with you. At least in his own weird way..

- After the movie, he'd immediately want to criticize the terrible CGI. Opening his mouth to talk up until he notices that there was now a heavy weight on his shoulder. That's when he looked down and noticed that you had fallen asleep on him.

- "Tch." He smirked, eyebrows furrowing, and he reached his hands over to pull you closer to him. "Goodnight goober." He placed a gentle kiss to your hair and remained there for the rest of the night with you. In each other's arms, movie credits playing, and softly mumbling into your hair.

Toge Inumaki 🔊

- Toge is always up for a movie date with you. He finds it relaxing and a great way to spend quality time together.

- When you invite him over for a movie night, Toge will bring some snacks, including his signature cursed speech bubble-shaped rice crackers. He loves sharing his food with you. (I headcanon that he is...A MASTER IN THE KITCHEN)

- Horror movies may not be his first choice, but he'll watch them with you because he wants to make you happy. But also because he wanted to finally watch the Saw series. His friends have been telling him to watch that for ages now.

- He'll occasionally cover his eyes during the scary parts but will peek through his fingers to see your reactions. (He just doesn't really enjoy the gory parts.)

- Toge doesn't express his affection through real words due to obvious reasons, but he shows it through his actions because he knows you can barely understand his 'sushi talk', as you call it. So he just sticks to having a single hand on your thigh, gently squeezing it at times.

- He'll cuddle up close to you and wrap his arm around your waist when the movie ends. Softly breathing into your neck.

Yuuta Okkotsu 🗡️

- Yuuta is THRILLED whenever you invite him over for a movie date. He loves spending time with you and sees it as an opportunity to relax and unwind.

- Horror movies are right up his alley, surprisingly. And he's more than happy to indulge in them with you. He'll even bring a selection of his favorite horror films to choose from.

- During the movie, Yuuta will sit close to you and occasionally rest his head on your shoulder or lap. He finds comfort and solace in your presence.

- After the movie, Yuuta will excitedly talk about his favorite parts, jump scares, or plot twists. He enjoys discussing the movie and hearing your thoughts. You can both stay up late into the night, exchanging theories and sharing your love for the genre.

Comments from Boueibu VAs regarding 10 year anniversary/movie (Student Council Vers.)

Another month has gone past and so has another Binanshi...(You can see the Defence Club version here.)

See original comments on the Boueibu website here.

(Also @raihanstrapinch because she wanted these.)

Hiroshi Kamiya (Kinshiro's VA):

Congratulations on 10 years, Chikyuu Boueibu series!

...eh? 10 years? What? That's scary...Time passes fast, huh...?

Anyhow, Mugihito and director Takamatsu seem to be lively and that's good! I'm good, too! I also recorded for the movie in good spirits! If everyone watching it could get rid of their worries and fatigue, then they'd be in good spirits too! [1] Thank you in advance!

Jun Fukuyama (Ibushi's VA):

It's already been 10 years for the Chikyuu Boueibu series?! Then a movie?! Something's wrong... (LOL)

Well, well, let's use the water to briefly cool ourselves off [2].

Mmm. Certainly, it seems it always feels like this, huh? (LOL)

Everyone, is the water OK?

Takuma Terashima (Akoya's VA):

Congratulations on 10 years! Over a period of 10 years, the radiance of love has not disappeared and love is eternal - I feel those are strong messages to get.

But, sure enough, Boueibu is chaotic! (LOL) With it, there's really a laugh around every corner [3]. Surprise, letting [everyone] show off, heart pounding, laughs, big excitement - it'll become that kind of movie experience!

To you who continues to give love, to you who remembers love's brilliance, to you who realises new love - thank you very much.

Boueibu is great!!

Hiroki Yasumoto (Zundar's VA):

10th anniversary...Time sure passes fast, huh? It was lively [4] and the initial members have also become impressive, so it's somewhat moving. No, is that not so? Yes? How is it? What do you think about that? What do you think about dat? Da. [5]

That's why meeting Zundar again, too, is a complicated feeling - [both] happy and scary *laughs*.

For the next 10 years ahead, I also wish for this to be a work overflowing with a power that is able to accept love-da. I will also work hard-da. I want you to await it expectantly-da.

Bonus: Terashima's tweet:

Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu is coming back!

Enough time has passed that it feels a bit nostalgic - it's reasonable to say our memories have faded. In that sense, it's a frightening work. *laughs*

It's a work perfectly suited to winter, where it will warm up everyone watching...probably.

Please look forward to it. <3

[Note 1: Kamiya uses 元気 several times in slightly different contexts.]

[Note 2: "Cool off" in the literal sense as well as "cool our heads after hearing about the sudden comeback of Boueibu".]

[Note 3: めちゃくちゃ was used as "chaotic" and "really" respectively.]

[Note 4: Literally "fresh", so considering the bit about initial members shortly after this point, the "it" at the start of the sentence is referring to the original Boueibu series.]

[Note 5: Yasumoto goes douda? for "How is it?". He then goes dounanda? for "What do you think about that?", forces Zundar's -da sentence ending on to dounanda? (by using katakana instead of hiragana), then uses the sentence ending normally.]

[livwritesstuff]

uhhh so i finally watched the 3rd episode of The Last of Us. that shit was unpleasant. this is also…not happy.

I’d like to think that Steve and Eddie’s daughters watch The Last of Us as it comes out and spend the entire six weeks it runs begging their dads to watch it too.

Robbie is the one leading the crusade – the one who enjoys horror and sci-fi the most. Moe, Steve’s kid through and through, tolerates the genre, though she usually spends the duration of the movie or show questioning vague world-building elements. She does appreciate a good story though, and she likes hanging out with her sister, so she ends up enjoying it.

Hazel hates horror, slashers, all things scary, so she isn’t inclined to watch the show at all, which is mostly why the older two turn to their dads when they need an audience to channel their harassing towards.

Moe and Robbie pester them for weeks and eventually, about a month after the show’s final episode airs, Hazel approaches Steve and Eddie saying she wants to start watching it but doesn’t want to watch it alone, and Hazel is the baby of the family and they’ve got less than two years left with her until she’s off to college like her older sisters, so they’re usually inclined to give in to any and all requests she makes.

(And they never find out that Hazel only asked them because Moe and Robbie bribed her to do it).

The three of them watch the first episode, Hazel curled up in an armchair while Steve and Eddie share a blanket on the couch. Hazel covers her eyes during the more disturbing scenes and makes Eddie describe them shot-for-shot as they unfold. By the time the credits are rolling, they’ve all collectively decided they don’t hate the show (Eddie actually really enjoys it).

“That shit might be worse than what we went through,” Eddie acknowledges later that night while he and Steve are getting ready for bed.

“That’s...” Steve pauses, “Yeah, that’s fair. If I had to choose between the Upside Down and that, I’d choose the Upside Down.”

“It’s always nice to know things could’a been worse.”

“Shut up,” Steve nudges him.

They all watch the second episode the next night, and it goes pretty much the same.

The following evening, Hazel goes to a sleepover and tells her dads they don’t have to wait to watch the third episode if they want, and because Moe and Robbie had repeatedly said they had to see the third one, even if they don’t end up watching any further, they curl up on the couch under that same blanket (this time with one or two more glasses of wine than they would normally have if their kids were home) and settle in to watch it.

The episode starts out normal.

“Don’t we know that guy from something?”

“Which guy?”

“Ed – the only guy on the screen. Isn't he in that show Moe showed us an episode of – the one in the office with that one from SNL?”

“The Office?”

No, not The Office. Never mind.”

They quickly realize exactly why their daughters had been so insistent that they watch it.

“Is this the good kind of queer rep?”

“I never know anymore,” Steve shakes his head, “I just let Moe tell me that kind of stuff.”

The mood sobers quickly after that, and they don’t even make it to the end of the episode before Steve says he’s done. Eddie doesn’t respond, just turns the TV off.

They sit together for a while, Steve’s hand tight on Eddie’s thigh, Eddie running his nails over the nape of Steve’s neck, until Steve finishes his wine and lets Eddie pull him off the couch (at fifty-six, his knees aren’t what they used to be).

They get ready for bed together, like they almost always do, and Steve looks at the two of them in the bathroom mirror.

They’re older.

Obviously they’re older – it’s been thirty years since they first started dating (that particular anniversary is coming up, actually), and almost forty since they won the war against Vecna and the Mind Flayer.

Steve’s hair is very decidedly greying now, as is Eddie’s, though it’s harder to tell because his hair is lighter – and frankly, Eddie is more concerned about whether or not his hairline is going to start receding like Wayne’s (though it’s always been pretty clear that his hair is from his mom’s half of the genetic pool, so he might be in the clear).

They climb into bed, immediately reaching for each other.

“Eddie,” Steve says, his voice wet, and Eddie’s breath hitches.

Steve doesn’t call him Eddie very often, not like he did when they were young.

“Hey,” Eddie replies, pulling Steve into his arms, “Love you, Stevie.”

“Love you too,” Steve says, letting his husband hold him close, pressing his face into Ed’s neck so his nose rests on the spot that jumps with his ever-persisting heartbeat and trying to not let creep back into his brain the thirty-year-old memory of what Eddie looks like when he’s nearly dead.

He doesn’t think about that stuff too much anymore. He hasn’t had to, and after all these years, it sometimes doesn’t even seem real.

It was real though, and as he slips a hand under Eddie’s shirt to rest on the raised scars that still decorate his stomach and torso, Steve begins to kick himself for not considering sooner the possibility that it could still return, for not having a gameplan ready to execute to keep their daughters safe if it did.

And he would keep them safe. He would keep them safe the way no adult had done for him.

Steve and Eddie’s oldest daughter is twenty-one. Their oldest daughter is now older than both of them had been when Eddie had nearly died, when Steve had carried him out of hell and made sure he didn’t. All three of their daughters – even Hazel – are older than Steve had been when he got sucked into that horrible mess, and they’re still so damn young. He can’t imagine looking at any one of them and seeing someone equipped to take on what had been asked of Steve when he was their same age.

He remembers how grown up he'd felt back then at the big age of nineteen. In all fairness, it was the most grown up he'd been up to that point — he’s always the most grown up he’s ever been, but now, with the privilege of hindsight and two decades of parenting under his belt, he's able to recognize just how young they’d been.

They'd been kids. They’d all been kids, kids with body counts, kids who could look at an arsenal of weapons and know which one they wielded best, kids who'd lived double lives since their teens because, despite it all, they’d still had NDA’s they could barely comprehend shoved into their hands before they could even think to seek comfort from the adults in their lives who were supposed to have been there for them, but weren’t.

Steve lifts his head, still grazing his fingertips over Eddie’s scars..

“Hey, if...if all that stuff starts up again–”

“It won’t,” Eddie interrupts.

“I know.”

“It’s been forty years.”

“I know,” Steve repeats, “But if it did–”

“It won’t,” Eddie insists.

“Ed, humor me. Please.”

Eddie pauses.

“Fine,” he sighs, because he knows that the prospect of the Upside Down and all of its horrors returning is a fear for Steve in a way that it isn’t for him.

“If all that shows up again, just…don’t let me go back, okay? Don’t let me get involved again, because I...I’ll want to. I’ll have to, but I can’t...you–I, I mean, our–the girls–”

Steve is stammering and Ed silences him with a soft kiss.

“Steve,” Eddie says against his lips, “I know.”

He clutches Steve’s face in his hands, leaning back so their eyes can meet, so Steve can see the crow’s feet that have made a home on his face (Steve loves them, loves him, loves that their life together has been happy enough to put them there), “You’re my whole fucking world, baby. There’s no way I’d let you go. No fucking chance.”

Steve manages a nod.

“It’s not gonna come back, Steve, okay?”

“Ed,” Steve shakes his head.

“No – just say okay. Please?”

“Okay.”

Analysis of the German gay film #freierfall / #freefall PART 4

For the 10th anniversary (omg! 10 years already!) (11 now because its 2024!) of one of my favorite movies I decided to make an analysis of the film and especially of the scenes between these two great actors.Max Riemelt and Hanno Koffler. Kay and Marc. Marc and Kay. I hope you like it and that above all it serves to encourage the creators to give us that long awaited second part.

HERE IT IS PART 4:

I'm baaaack! Sorry for the delay <3 I would have liked to upload this fourth part as a christmas present but well now you could say it's a late valentine's day present hehe

Remember where we left it? :)

I promised myself I was going to only talk about these two ignoring all the plot with Marc's wife pregnancy but I think its necessary to mention it. This wonderful kiss in the woods happened MEANWHILE! (although here Kay did not know it yet!) After this scene there are a couple more that do not involve these two = boring. haha Scenes that Marc tries to convince himself how good is his life and how lucky he is. #whoareyoutryingtofool

After training at the police academy comes the action! And of couuuuurse Kay had to go to the same unit as Marc. Fact that Marc did not seem to like it at all.

+What are you doing here? (Marc) -I'm glad to see you too (Kay)

The first time I saw the movie I thought Marc was going to kiss Kay furiously. The next few times I watched this scene I felt sorry for Marc and how he deals with his frustrations with violence and is not able to face these new feelings in a normal way. But now, I see this scene and I really feel sorry for Kay. He doesn't deserve to be treated like that and even less for saying what we all think (that Marc is quite happy to see him again). It is true that for Marc this meeting is the last thing he needed. But just because he is afraid.

Time for Kay to find out he will be an uncle? hahah

oKAY its true that Kay's expression is everything in this scene but look at Marc! He is saying so much without talking! He is between shy, serious (not smiling at all even though Bettina is happy talking about baby) and kind of afraid that Kay found out? Look how for a moment he looks away and immediately looks at the ground as if avoiding Kay.

The dialogues here are key to understand everything. First of all neither Kay or Marc greets each other (where are your manners guysss)

-scary huh? (Says Bettina due to Kay's facial expression)

And then nobody talks about it anymore. Kay and Marc can't say anything else. They just glance at each other but inside a whole of emotions are going on.

Blessed the existence of men's bathroom that allows the two of them to be alone for a moment!

Kay is spechless. He speechless? I know. So Marc looks at him and says:

+yes, that's how things are (as Kay cared about that HAHAH)

Fun fact: after this scene they go home and Bettina asks Marc about Kay. And while Marc can only say bad things about Kay, Bettina is like "he seemed nice to me" hahaha

Now comes the moment we all were waiting for! Pure authenticity

After Marc again being violent with Kay in an exercise, Kay approaches him gently and just is honest with Marc:

AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY GO JOGGING, RIGHT?

I know you will hate me right now but Im ending this part here haha! So the wait for the next part will be more than worthy!!!

ps: Thanks for all the feedback from the previous publications and to the owners of the gifs I used. Also, here you have the previous parts in case you missed them <3

Twelve years ago today, I had my first date with my husband, who I met on okcupid. It's weird to think about okcupid, it's like the last ambiguously wholesome thing before it felt like all the dating apps divided into sex apps and paid subscription apps like eHarmony that are specifically designed for people who are looking to get married and breed immediately. I got on okcupid about a year after I was finally done with my abusive ex-boyfriend; I always used to think I needed to be with someone as Dark and Fucked UpTM as myself because I hadn't had good luck being understood more normal people, but after living a nightmare for several years, I finally woke up one day thinking, What would it be like to date someone who actually, obviously liked me and was happy to see me? I started to imagine it, and just that made a big difference. One day I opened okcupid and it served me this guy who was way too attractive for me, and who also just seemed really nice and normal. I thought, I don't have anything to offer someone like that, and moved on. However, okcupid showed the guy that I had looked at him, and even though I had taken no action, he reached out. I was still feeling pretty skittish and made him be my pen pal for a pretty long time. Then one day the stranger who stalked me for several years at my old job somehow found my blog; I couldn't figure out how, and it really scared me, and I just dropped all communications with uncertain men in a fit of despair. A while later, like maybe a month or something, my okcupid suitor wrote me a very polite email to tell me that he understands what it usually means when somebody ghosts you online, but he just wants to say that if I ever want to get a cup of coffee or something, he's still interested. I gave in and ordered him to meet me at 2pm on a Sunday, thinking that if we hated each other it could be over in like half an hour. The date lasted about 10 hours, and in reality it never stopped.

Five years ago today, we got married. We liked the idea of getting married on the anniversary of our first date, even though it meant dragging the 20 people who had the least ability to say "no" to a Tuesday wedding. We did it at City Hall, which was really awesome; every kind of person was there, in every kind of dress, all having our big day together. Afterward we put everyone on the ferry to the neighborhood where our reception was, which had become a center of our lives well beforehand. We live there now, as of this autumn. But let me tell you, a ferry ride on a winter night is a great way to see the city, definitely do this if you get the chance.

We've had a really good marriage so far, a big part of which is that we're actually friends. I think a lot of straight people are indoctrinated with ideas about the War of the Sexes, like men and women are natural enemies, it's not normal to be buddies with the opposite sex, and marriage represents an uneasy alliance between arch foes to fulfill the prime directive of the species. It's scary what a common cliche it is, that people in relationships hate each other, that marriage is miserable and a breeding ground for seething hatred, ha ha ha, "This is fine." It really doesn't have to be like that, unless you insist on dogmatically disrespecting people with different genitals from you. And also mutual respect shouldn't be a barrier to hot sex.

Anyway, we're getting ready to go out and see NAPOLEAN, after which we'll go to our favorite restaurant, and then I'll probably force my husband to watch my new favorite movie RED ROOMS to balance out the psycho boy movie with a psycho girl movie. After that, it's none of your beeswax.

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 @reapkusho

Your ideal match is…Alexis Ness!

Someone whom you would find interesting! Polite, somewhat easygoing, friendly(?), and a shimmery type of person. He's the one I interpreted to be a shimmery type of person you would like. It's the thing he has with magic going on.

He appreciates your thoughtfulness and how you make an effort to really understand the people you care about, since he does the same! He'll do his best to indulge your philosophical debates and you would make him so happy if you let him talk about fantasy.

Doesn't mind letting you take charge in your relationship. As long as the both of you are happy, he'll let you call most, if not all of the shots. Not great for your forever growing ego though. Speaking of ego, this guy's the worst, he'll gas you up until it bursts. Words of affirmation is easily his main giving love language, acts of service following close behind. He'll sing your praises until you tell him to stop. Or kiss him to keep his mouth occupied.

Also doesn't mind that you get irritated easily, he's used to calming people down. He'll tell you everything is okay, bring you some water to drink, rub your shoulders. The image is that of a worried secretary tending to an angry boss, it's quite funny.

He shares your love for poetry and books (he seems like an avid reader, not just for fantasy)! He would love to sit and read with you, then discuss the motifs and characters over a cup of tea. It's the perfect indoor activity for when it's raining heavily outside and the both of you can't go out. So relaxing.

He finds your crochet hobby super cute. He'll even take it up so you both can have crochet gift exchanges! By the time of your first anniversary, he would have become proficient to gift you a pink crochet jellyfish, good enough to look professionally done.

He doesn't have much interest in horror movies, but he'd gladly watch them with you for date nights. He hopes to have you clinging to his arm when you get scared, but chances are he'll be the one clinging to you since you're more used to scary scenes and tense atmospheres. He will pout afterward.

Runner-up: Itoshi Rin (Horror movies. But maybe he'd be too prickly for you to get to know him well.)

Your sibling is…Karasu Tabito!

I'm not sensing a big age gap/maturity level between the two of you. Karasu does seem like your big brother though. Maybe he's 1-2 years older than you but people think you're twins at first.

He's the type of brother who loves teasing you but no one else is allowed to even look at you funny. He'll insult them so bad they're scared to approach you both afterward. Definitely messes with you by hiding your snacks or teasing you for your short height (he's a whole foot taller than you). But he secretly cares a lot, so expect little gifts once in a while or a headpat when you're upset.

You both are like slightly different shades of blue because you're so similar! But, while you're polite to people you've just met, Karasu will sooner mock them and call them a dunce before he even gets to know them. Others' first impressions of you both are vastly different, thinking you both opposites, until they get to know you both. Really get to know you both.

Karasu and you both have high standards for people who deserve your respect, but once they earn it, you both are quick befriend them (Karasu tends to be more interested in people rather than respect them, but close enough). You both have differing ideas of what kind of people you respect, leading to friendly banter.

You're both yappers! While you're more interested in philosophy, he's more interested in psychoanalyzing other people. One thing's for sure though: Your discussions are never boring. I can imagine the both of you sitting on your bed, snacks and drinks nearby as you talk for hours. He would copy your friends and call you Ms. philosophy, especially when he finds out it embarrasses you.

The both of you also like being leader figures! While this is fine when you're both with your own friends, it might cause some disagreements when it's just the two of you. He'll even pull the "I'm the big brother, you have to listen to me" card. All in good fun.

You're afraid of the ocean, he's afraid of water. Needless to say, you both wouldn't be caught dead at a beach. Your friends can beg and plead, but it's not happening. If you both get dragged there somehow, perhaps during a school field trip, Karasu will be a good big brother and run away with you, hand in hand.

I love Ever After High more than I could probably ever say, but I’ll try in honor of its 10th anniversary. 

I discovered Ever After High when I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, so I was very young, and I LOVED Disney Princess movies (kind of ironic given the history, huh?) and so I discovered the Brothers Grimm fairytales, and I adored those too. I find a series from a YouTuber I don’t remember the name of (7 Super girls? Or something?) And I think the video was “What’s your favorite show?” And the girl in the video explains what Ever After High is and that sounds AWESOME to a little kid like me. It was a high school for the children of the Brothers Grimm characters?????? AMAZING! Obviously not much was aid about the more,,grizzly details of the stories as this was a child’s doll line as well.

I started watching, and I instantly fell in love with Raven Queen when I saw what her whole deal was, also I really liked her style, as I was a little emo kid, and Raven striving to be herself in a world that didn’t accept that, that she had to just follow the rules that actively worked against her. That struck a little cord with me, and I wouldn’t realize it until many years later, but, spoiler! I’m trans. Raven is a character that, in general, means so much to me. I full person and soul mean this when I say she is my favorite fictional character of all time. Raven Queen meant so much to me, and others as well. 

Ashlynn and Hunter because I ate, slept and BREATHED True Hearts Day as a kid, to see these two people that loved each other, so deeply and true that they were willing to sacrifice their stories for one another despite the danger. Society told the two of them their love was wrong, Ashlynn’s best friend even told her she thought it was wrong, and that crushed Ashlynn. She even broke up with Hunter over her fears about their stories, but also so everyone would just. Stop. The whole reason they even told ANYONE was because Duchess had threatened to essentially out them when they weren’t ready. 

Then, after all of that pain, and trail and tribulation they got up, well Ashlynn did, she got up and she told the whole world that she loves Hunter, and doesn’t care what anyone, or their destines have to think. If she can’t love Hunter and be a royal? Then call her Ashlynn Ella the rebel! 

Then as the years went on, I got older, and Dragon Games aired. I saw Darling Charming, a character I didn’t really care about too much until I got older, and I saw her give “CPR” to Apple White, a character I hated, and ALSO grew to love as I got older. 

My personal feelings to these character didn’t matter, though. I saw these girls KISS on screen. I saw two same gender people give TRUE. LOVES. KISS. to one another for the first time ever. It wasn’t just an m/f couple with some VERY gay subtext. Seeing that kiss was more magical than anything in the show. That one moment between two characters that I grew up watching, as if to say it was okay..I won’t lie when I tell you I maybe cried that night after I finished watching it. It made me feel so happy, so seen. Safe. 

As I got older, I saw these characters in different lights, and I saw more depth to them than I ever did before. Characters I hated as a kid suddenly made more sense, this horrible system of destiny looked so much more daunting and scary than it ever did before. I hated Apple as a kid, and that’s an understatement. Sorry Apple fans, I love her now, and that’s because as I aged I saw more depth in her than I did when I was younger. 

Apple was also a victim of destiny, just in a different way than say Raven, or Briar. She had such high expectations put on her from her mother, her father, the WHOLE SOCIETY THEY ARE STRUCTURED AROUND. Apple also faced a traumatic experience as a kid that also just reinforced this line of thinking. She had her entire life planned, if she liked that or not, and she couldn’t escape it. Apple was faced with harsh reality so suddenly at what was supposed to be the biggest, most important day of her entire life. All of that particular planning to be the perfect princess, her entire life’s purpose for as far as she knew, was over. Torn away in an instant with the rip of a page. It would make sense that Apple would take so long to come around to the idea of choosing your own destiny, or that CHOOSING can also mean living your destined story, but maybe with some tweaks. 

Apple’s whole arc in Dragon Games and Way Too Wonderland is just so good. I love her so much.

ALSO Raven never even wanted to start a whole movement or anything, she just wanted to not be like her mother, she just didn’t want to be evil. She was just 15, like literally everyone else in the show. All she wanted was to exist as herself, and it was a battle to get close to that goal.

I realized as I aged, and in general became a tad more jaded towards the world that oppressive systems don’t really help anyone. A lot of kids at Ever After High, royal or rebel, is screwed over with the destiny system in some way. It made me think about our own society in ways I haven’t before, but that’s a talk for another day.

Also, as a kid I only had access to YouTube and maybe Netflix, so I didn’t read any of the books until literally about two years ago when I could get my hands on them, so I literally just have NEW information to sift through, and grow with a world that I’ve had for so long with me already.

I think there’s so much more i can say about family issues, and family non-issues, and about culture, or the way there are rebels who want their destiny, but still side with the rebels because they think everyone should have a free choice, or how Cedar and Cerise feel just a tad trans to me, or THE WONDERLANDIANS AND RED AND BADWOLF, but that’s more general fandom posting or a bit too personal, so I’ll just leave it here.

In conclusion, Ever After High, it’s been a beautiful, spellbinding 10 years and I’m so thankful for the fans, the people that made the series/dolls/books/etc, and that I wish all of these characters, and people a Happily Ever After in their own ways.

Okay, it's getting colder here and I need warm thoughts. I demand you share with me three Tommy/Maria autumnal headcanons.

(I demand politely with hat in hand). xx

Oh this is a lovely one and strangely enough one I've thought about. I'm actually going to give you six as a bonus. Three Canon verse HC and Three no apocalypse verse HC.

No Apocalypse Verse

1. Tommy is a huge apple cider fan—all things apple cider, the drink, the donuts, the scent. If it's fall, it's apple cider. Maria is a Pumpkin Spice girl. Fall is all things PS all the time. There are wars in the T/M household on what is better. Tommy once spent a week on the couch when he changed out all the candles in the house to apple-scented candles when Maria wasn't looking. Maria once had to buy Tommy two jugs of apple cider when she changed his Starbucks order to a PSL on the app instead of an apple cider macchiato as a joke.

2. They love fall foliage tours. They've been up to the Adirondack every year to take the train ride that goes through the mountains. They are major leaf peepers, and it drives Joel crazy because every year, they try to get him and Tess to go. Joel could care less about the turning of the leaves, and Tess could care less too, honestly, but she loves to fuck with Joel, so she'll set them up to go just to drive him crazy.

3. Once they have their first son Mateo, who just so happens to have been born in the fall, (which was not in any way orchestrated by Maria keeping meticulous track of her cycles so she could make sure when the best moment for conception would be) they do a photoshoot of him in a pumpkin each year. Then, when they have their daughter Tilly (also born in the fall, hmmm, Tommy's starting to ask questions), the tradition continues. By the time little Solana is born also in the fall (okay Maria this is gettin' ridiculous darlin' how did I not notice you were doin' this.) It's a whole thing: baby, toddler, and kid in a pumpkin. It's getting harder and harder to find big enough pumpkins. When the kids are all grown up, they get together to do a joke photoshoot of a reenactment of their first group photo as kids for Tommy and Maria's anniversary gift. Tommy laughs so hard he snots whiskey out of his nose. Maria laughs too but she also gets Teary-Eyed at seeing all her babies so grown up. It goes on the living room wall in a place of honor and never comes down.

Canon Verse

1. Maria is the one doing all the fall activities in Jackson, she loves it, it's one of her favorite times of year. When Tommy comes along he wholeheartedly throws himself in as well. It's actually how they end up falling in love. One late night while Tommy is helping her get the sting lights up for the fall dance, he turns them on and she looks so beautiful in the glowing bulbs that he can't help but tell her and then fate is set.

2. Tommy hates Halloween, always has. Part of it could be the time he snuck down to watch the Halloween movie from the stairs when he was 8 years old, and his big brother, at 13, was watching the movie with his then-friend Shawna, who he very much wanted to be his girlfriend in hopes that she would cuddle close to him during the jump scares. She did, and they were blissfully together for a whole week; Joel even got his first French kiss from it. But all Tommy got was nightmares about Micheal Meyers trying to break into his house on Halloween to kill him and his family. So yeah, Tommy doesn't like Halloween. But every year, he sucks it up and puts on the brave Uncle Tommy face and the goofiest of costumes to make first Sarah happy and then Ellie 20 years later. Because that's what good uncles do. Maria knows, though, and she does everything she can to try and make the holiday as stress-free as she can for him. They have no decorations inside the house, and what they do have outside is the bare minimum, and it's all silly, not scary.

3. Tommy and Maria still love the fall foliage. Their favorite thing to do is to sit outside on their porch in Jackson, Tommy siping his hot apple cider and Maria siping her PS coffee that she makes herself, and they watch the seasons change. Both of them are secretly happy that their little community ended up in a part of the US that has the change of the seasons. On beautiful fall days, Tommy likes to take Maria outside of Jackson into the woods with all the leaves, and they pile them up and dance in them. Ellie lets them borrow her walkmen so they can each put one headphone in one ear each and listen to the music as they sway together.

Not gonna lie, I was not ok a few weekends ago.

Emotions had been declining, and none of my usual forms of cheering myself up were working. So I "self medicated" by watching Hachi: A Dog's Tale for the first time. The movie was fine, but it definitely helped me feel so much better.

Details under the cut for the interested.

News around Good Omens has been horrible, and what made it worse was that it kept coming. Not surprising, I anticipate more will come and I hope everything comes to light because it's important that it does. May all the victims find the courage to speak about what happened, and may they heal.

However, my second main escape had also been going through stuff. Not as horrible as GO, but it still added to the bad feels.

Suddenly, engaging with anything had been... Well it was not giving me the good vibes they normally do. Everything enjoyable had been making me sad. On top of that, I was not been able to just process my negative feelings. Long story short, I have a hard time expressing myself so I often just process them internally. However, on rare occasions, I can't process them internally because I'm just too overwhelmed with them. And that's what was happening to me. I was stuck under a big pile of just sad feelings and negative emotions.

So what do I did? I indulge in a sad or scary movies.

For the longest time I could not explain why I would do this. I just knew that whenever I had a bout of emotions that I felt stuck with, unable to just get it out of my system and process them properly, I turn to a sad or scary movie. It wasn't until this article came out that suddenly things started to make sense.

I needed a safe space to feel my emotions. Watching a sad or scary movie gave me a reason to express what I was feeling. Once I figured that out, so many things clicked for me.

Now, that doesn't mean that I watch these movies only when I feel bad, I still watch them when I'm happy or in the mood. (I actually am planning on cracking my Saw Anniversary collection soon. So excited!) I'm just glad to have a way to be able to give myself the space and reason I need in order to express myself safely.

I hope this helps someone out there that may benefit from the same thing. Just remember, YMMV! My solution isn't your guaranteed solution!

Warnings: Yandere behavior, mentions of murder (not detailed but enough to get the picture) and guilt tripping, anger, outrage, and angry outburst

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ༄シ

A/N: I won’t really talk about stranger things itself in this it’s more focused on Jane and the reader something went wrong when making the soft headcanons it wouldn’t let me so am gonna have to edit it later

You most likely met if you found her when she escaped or she met you in school. Either way she is sticking to you like glue and is very clingy. She always gets scared that you’ll leave her when she sees you hanging out or talking to someone else especially Angela. She has a lot of pent up trauma so except her to go to you crying her eyes out and blabbing out about how she’s scared Angela will steal you away from her or how you won’t have any time with her because if you friends. Like I mentioned shes clingy so she’s happy and recommends that you take her with you and your friends so she can make sure their not putting negative things about her in your head saving you from her.

Jane is definitely one of the sweeter Yanderes even though she always wants to spend time with you it’s always really heartfelt and sweet. Like going roller skating while holding hands or even eating waffles together and watching sunsets in the park. The only downside is she tends to get angry and want to leave when other girls/guys eye you down seductively or just too long for her comfort. But other than that she’s really thoughtful and loves to exchange gifts or just celebrate on you guys’s anniversary.

Her love language is physical touch and spending time together. She loves to go places with you no matter where it is even if it’s the store she’ll still cherish as a loving memory. Or even cuddling or laying in your lap or on your shoulder. She’s also the type to find you cute when your sleeping. Loves to do your hair and put accessories and clips in it and loves when you do her hair and whenever you do she’ll take pics and hang them up in her room or try to keep them in for however long she can and will even ask you to do her hair more often.

If Angela ever bullies you or hits and touch’s on you not only will she hit her in the nose with her skate but will bash her head in with said skate. Let’s just say it took time for Jim to get used to you but given how Jane acts when she can’t be around you is scary so he’s a little bit scared for you she almost destroyed the house. She loves when you tell her about things you love and your interest and will look into them wether it’s a genre of music, an artist, movies or tv shows she’ll listen/watch them so she can discuss them with you and it could be you guys’s little thing together. 9/10 she’s very loving and sweet but her Yandere behavior is very scary especially given with her powers.

Soft! Jane is really just Jane normally she’s always soft and adoring at everything about you. She’s the type to like certain habits and little things that you do so she’s always notices the small things. Like your smile, your eyes, your hair.etc. Hopper will still be checking in on you guys and on your heels about anything intimacy he things you guys may do. But eventually he will calm down and get more used to you. I feel like Jane would be one of those people who like doing cute little thing with you like watching a movie and most likely sharing popcorn.

She also loves to take walks on the beach with your hands intervened together. Or even just cuddling while watching tv. You’ll have to explain a lot of relationship things to her and how they work. She’s new to it so the butterflies in her stomach when she sees you does kinda scare her. Being the clingy social butterfly she is now she’ll always be walking up to you and starting small conversations with you, wether it be the things she enjoys or something you

-have an interest in that she just happened to hear about. She’s always happy when you guys are partnered up to work on school work together. And loves the thought of being in your room and tells you how beautiful it is and how much she loves it she quickly learns your favorite color and more thing about you because of your room and will even start up conversations with your during the project. And even complements your hand-writing.

Hokuto's Radio Show - Episode 1, Part 1 out of 4

I'm back with one of my practice translations. This time, my Japanese has definitely improved, but there are still mistakes, lol.

This translation is edited to make it sound natural for an American audience (not that I'm assuming there's a huge one, just that it's the type of English background I have), so please don't worry too much if there's something you notice that's not directly translated. I'm also not a professional translator with any training, in fact, this is my training hahaha. Despite the mistakes, I hope you enjoy!

Listening to Hokuto is a pleasure, his personality shines through in the radio show and I hope it shows in my translation. He was quite nervous, and I also translated his filler words so you could see how he still did his best despite being that nervous. Precious boy!

If you have any comments or thoughts, I'd love to hear them!

Sincerely, m

-- 0:00 - The Rampage's Hokuto Yoshino presents "Hokuto Radio"! ["Escape" by The Rampage from Exile Tribe starts to play.] Good evening, everyone! This is Hokuto Yoshino from The Rampage (from Exile Tribe). Thanks for tuning in~! Right, so, starting today, I'll be hosting this show called "Hokuto Radio", and since it's my first time hosting on my own, I'm, uh, probably gonna mess up on some parts, so I would appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. Today's date is October 7, 2023, and for the next 30 minutes, I will be your host and I'll be presenting you a program packed with personality. To everyone at Nippon Broadcasting System and everyone listening in, thank you for your support! Let's get on with the show! Okay, so, an introduction is needed so please let me introduce myself. Um, my name is Hokuto Yoshino. My last name is written with the words "fortune" from "great fortune", "field" from "pastoral field"*, and when put together with "person of the north", you get my name, Hokuto! So yeah, um, I'm one of the singers from a group called "The Rampage from Exile Tribe," and we'll be celebrating our debut's seventh anniversary in a few months. Yeah, uh, the group has 16 members and um, we have three singers and 13 dancers, which makes us, uh, a 16-person group. Also, besides being a singer, I have also done some acting. I've appeared in movies like "What's Wrong with Being Popular" and "High&Low The Worst." I've also been in dramas like "Stand Up Start" and others, and I'd be happy if you could check them out! 2:00 - Right. *laughs* I'm so nervous! Okay. I sound a little bit stiff, don't I~ Normally, when it's the 16 of us, one of us will be in charge of doing most of the talking. But talking by myself... Gah, I'm so nervous. It's been about, well, seven years since our group debuted, so when we do intermissions during our concerts, like, I've already gotten used to speaking in front of an audience, and um, if the 3 of us vocalists are together, I know that if I trip up, they'll cover for me. So really, doing it by myself is kinda scary.

I'm really nervous right now! If I mess up, nobody's gonna come to my rescue. Man. Well, anyway, even so, I'll do my best and still have fun. Everyone, let's have fun together! 3:00 - Right, so as I said earlier, today starts my first radio program. It's already Saturday evening so I won't be doing an all-out, high-energy show, but I would like to comfortably spend this time talking with and listening to each other. I'm still new to this but I hope you all enjoy the show~ I wonder who's listening in right now. Well, generally, a lot of our fans are teenagers, but I'm looking forward to finding out who is tuning in. We'll have a Q&A corner and so on, so please definitely send in your questions. I'll also be waiting to hear your thoughts and comments on the show. 4:00 - Please send your messages to the following email address: hokuto@1242.com, that is Hokuto "at" mark, one, two, four, two dot com. H-O-K-U-T-O is for my name, Hokuto. If you post your comment on X*, please use a hashtag with "Hokuraji" in hiragana as well.* Okay, so now I'll play the show's first song, and I chose one of our recent releases. Here is "Summer Riot." [Music break at 4:37 for  "Summer Riot" by The Rampage from Exile Tribe] -- Translator's notes:  *pastoral field = this is not a direct translation, as far as I know 「野原」 just means "field" but it would sound weird if I said "take the word 'field' from 'field'."

*X is formerly Twitter

*Copy and paste this hashtag: #ほくらじ

I had never even heard of this magician woman before you started making art of her but I am oddly invested in your art of this funky little woman, she seems silly and goofy

no i know right. i had the same experience i was like "who the hell is this magician woman theyve got standing next to the justice league" and my partner was like oh Zatanna Zatara? everybody knows her (and she's IN the justice league)

shook me to my core. there was a sillygoofy magician the whole time i had never once heard of... now i'm so invested in her goofy shit. i'm glad my art is becoming a secondary source of infection ❤

optional: here's some things ive learned over the past 3 months

she was introduced as a weirdo in 1964. she's been weird and strange for 59 years and counting! next year will be her 60th anniversary #Hag

her whole gimmick is that she's a famous stage magician who also happens to be a real magician, which i think is very good

i think she joined the justice league in like 1978 or smthg shes Been Around

before i had the magician disease: no matter how much someone tried to explain her character to me, i couldn't grasp her. and now that i have first-hand magician disease: no matter how much i try to explain her to my partner, they can't grasp her. i think there's something aberrant about her. like she demands hands-on interaction to be truly perceived. but watch out for the spores

????

for a while she used to drag her Normal Manager around for magic adventures. his name was Jeff and i suppose he just took the constant near-death peril as part of the "managing a stage magician" job

some website once ranked her among the top 5 sexiest comic women, making her the highest-ranking DC character on the list #LetsGo #MagicianSweep

she's quite beloved and a pretty consistent feature but she doesn't get a ton of solo stuff 😔✌ but theyre reprinting her comic from 2010 next year woohoo happy 60th bitch

they forgot to really give her a power ceiling and her magic can pretty much do anything she can think of, so she's a consistent pain in DC's neck whenever she has to intersect with other characters and Big Serious Plots—but it's not like they can just leave her on the shelf entirely either

(i think powerscaling is fake & that "who would win a fight between x and y" is a fake question that depends on so much more than hard numbers, especially in a medium like comics. but i also think DC itself quite visibly feels a pressure to manage her + i think this quirk about her is extremely funny and i LOVE to see them try so hard to nerf their pesky magician)

in 2004 they made her part of a The Gang Commits Atrocities plot without really justifying Why she would do all that, and her next several years are Fascinating to watch as writers try to come up with various ways to make new sense of her character in light of it. until the whole dc comics continuity was wiped and relaunched in 2011, solving the problem by erasing the whole thing from canon (along with everything else)

the real crime of that whole incident? the '04 comic that started it wasn't even very good

she's listed on the DC Wiki category page for "Eldritch Blast"

currently serving time in the Justice League Dark branch department, which is where we keep all the weird grimy magic stuff so it doesn't get all over everything

for a second and not too long ago, the big leaguers exploded and died for a bit (long story also they got better) including zee. and they put a gigantic scary moving painting of her in the basement as a memorial. i think this is exactly what she would have wanted to be honest

this post

they should put her in the rwby crossovers more. she was in dc/rwby for a second but i want her in the damn movies. i think it'd be funny

i love her. that's what i've learned in the past 3 months

Happy 20 years anniversary to The Curse of the Black Pearl🏴‍☠️❤️

I've watched this movie for the first time in 2020 (I had seen a few scenes before that when it was playing on TV, but that was when I was still a child and my parents thought it would be too scary for me😅), but it was only about a year ago until I became more obsessed with it and the Pirates franchise as a whole became really special to me.

It astounds me every time just how well made those movies are. Everything seems to be made with so much care, the effects, the music, the visual composition ... And of course the actors. Everyone was perfectly cast for their role, and I don't say things like this often, but literally all of the main characters look so good (of course I still have my favourites though😌).

But one thing that also makes the Pirates movies (particularly 1-3) so special to me, is how they are able to somehow awake a lot of emotions in me, and even make me feel them very deeply. This is not something that happens all the time, so if a movie manages to do that, there has to be something about it that makes it very special to me❤️

I thought about drawing something for the occasion, but I was completely exhausted after finishing up my university things just last week (finally!), and I didn't want to stress myself with trying to draw something cool, when I've never even drawn the characters before. I hope to draw at least some of them in the future though. In the meantime have a collage of my beloved Hector <3

15 questions for 15 mutuals

I was tagged by simolemons. Thank you! It's always so nice to be included in these.

I am tagging: @kfvarela, @oasislandingresident, @strangerpxels, @ktarsims, @spaceapples98, @beresimsdreamworld, @ts3strayastray, @kriskalutz, @dandylion240, @miss-may-i, @hazely-sims, @robbybirdy, @tsims, @foreverasimmer, and @kamel-simmer-ts3. If you have already done it or don't care to, please ignore this with gleeful abandon and a song in your heart!

Answers below cut for those who prefer to scroll past.

Are you named after anyone? Not exactly? My mother can't remember whether she saw my name in a book or vaguely knew someone with it.

When was the last time you cried? A few days ago; it was the anniversary of my father's death last year. He was a great dad to me.

Do you have any kids? No.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? In my gameplay posts, constantly. In offline life, rarely. When I was in 7th grade our English teacher made us keep journals (in which I was always writing the assigned 5 pages/week on the day it was due in very large handwriting). But at some point I wrote about a growing unease I was having with sarcasm and the way it could be wielded destructively, and my teacher wrote in the margins, "Often sarcasm is a sign of weakness." My tiny mind was blown by this and I've never forgotten it. Thanks, Mr. Mortensen!

What sports do you play/have you played? My father, for all his fine attributes, did once insist his children play a team sport, so for one year I played what the rest of the world calls football. I was decent at it, but I don't have words enough to express how deeply I hated it. Team sports in general are simply not my thing.

What's the first thing you notice about other people? Their eyes and their energy. When I met my partner's mother for the first time, what registered for me was that (a) she had very twinkly eyes indicative of a good sense of humor, and (b) she was so tightly wound it's a wonder she didn't spontaneously spring into orbit. It's the oddest combination. You never know if you're gonna get good-sense-of-humor MIL or religious-mania-hellfire-and-damnation MIL.

Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. I have the "horror" tag blocked and several horror-themed Simblrs filtered as well, if that tells you anything. I read The Exorcist when I was way way WAY too young to be reading The Exorcist, and it left me with a lifelong aversion to horror.

Any special talents? I was really good at medical transcription, back when that was still a thing. Now I suppose I could claim to cook decently.

Where were you born? One of the original 13 colonies of the United States.

What are your hobbies? Well, we know one of them! Also other games, crocheting, and sewing (badly lmao).

Do you have any pets? Two cats: one gray-and-white shorthaired female with an attitude, and one orange tabby male with neuroses galore. Both strays originally.

How tall are you? I am somewhere between 170-180 cm.

Fave subject in school? C++ programming and the sciences generally.

Dream job? I am firmly antiwork in the sense of performing labor for another person or entity's enrichment. Ideally I would live in a village-style commune and we would all pitch in to ensure our necessities were taken care of, then knock off for the rest of the time to go do things we enjoyed. But in this reality? Games developer.

Eye color? These things are always too nosy about personally identifying information. 😒 They aren't gray, how's that.
