#BEAUTIFULY MARRIED

[escespace]

Comments:

This is simply one of the most memorable fics I've ever read! It has everything my heart desires and more!

The reactions, the real and internal dialogues, the way Arthur's mind is strategic at the beginning and so human and sensitive at the end...Everything is so well done that it captivated me from beginning to end, I wish I could never finish reading it. 

I'll give a special mention, before I forget, to George with that revelatory dialogue. IT ALMOST MADE ME CRY! It was raw and real and a lot of what he said, I would say to Merlin too if I had the chance. The part where he says that Merlin taking pride in his work has been important to him even though he was in a position of servitude was so profound to think about.

And I still can't stop analyzing Arthur when he finds out because I definitely want to stick with that version of him. Everyone portrays him as so angry and I give him that because he deserves his space to feel, to express themselves, to vent, and they construct it in a very human way. But this reaction was fresh and creative, and he attributes to it the cunning that THE KING deserves.

Merlin is a total badass without losing his sensitivity and that is the greatest achievement because it is what makes him stand out and his purest essence. He is also an excellent leader in his own way that although It complements what a good leader Arthur is too. competent Merlin and Arthur are my greatest loves in merthur fics (we don't portray them like that enough)

Arthur witnessed Merlin's stand off against Agravaine. The question is only, if a traitor of Camelot defeats a traitor of Camelot, what is Merlin's motif?

In truth, none of these (very reasonable) questions matter anymore when Arthur realises he has a massive crush on Merlin.

STUDY IN LOKI ROMANCE

Part 2: Breaking Brad

Since we're only a few days away from the last episode, I decided to COUNT DOWN everything we´ve got so far ( that can be interpreted very easily as romantic ) and discuss what the actual fuck is going on with second season. Because even though I shipped lokius practically from S1E2, I absolutely did NOT expect this kind of development. (Not that I´m complaining)

Warning: This is gonna be LONG post, lots of screenshots, lots of SPOILERS, lot of "oh-my-god-they-so-cute" language, and little bit of meta.

I originally thought that this post would be everything at once, but since I have just too many screenshots this time around, I´ll have to split it. so every post will be one episode. Color coding means:

IIIIIIIIII = anything, that coud potentialy be just acting choice.

IIIIIIIIII = everything else (tzn.: whatever was written, and/or carefully prepared by filmmakers. )

side note: I already wrote, about how amazing it is, that Mobius is unable to fight but fights anyway and how beautifuly, and ridiculously brave he is HERE. But this is about Loki/Mobius interactions, so I´ll try my best not to talk about THAT. (Even when I´m really happy, that s2 continues with this formula and Mobius is still his completely defenseless while aggressively brave self. I love him, btw.)

EPISODE 1 HERE

Okay, Check-list, ep 2:

11) matching suits part 1 THIS ⬇️ costume department did a great job and they look badass together also, they´re walking very close to each other.

12) Loki defending /saving Mobius from Brad (with magic!) also, Mobius, dear, (my beloved) you were really going for it! Always so ready to fight! I can´t xD

Loki "don´t u dare hurt him" Laufeyson, look at his face!

13) Mobius and Loki struggling to assemble IKEA furniture- sorry Tapmad together

14) " And he knows..." I mean yeah, sure. keep remind us, that Mobius knows everything about Loki, and saw him at his worst, so we can appreciate even more the fact, that Mobius likes him and cares for him so damn much 💚🤎

15) Loki finding Mobius´s joke amusing Mobius: cracking joke right after Loki´s threatening speech:

Loki:

16) Loki being very concerned for Mobius after his outburst, saying that It´s okay, and then suggests having pie because he knows Mobius so well and is avare of the fact, that his man is stress eater I´m gonna cry they´re too pure for MCU someone adopt them

17) Bickering like married couple (part 2) 18) The whole freaking pie scene!

Just them, sharing calm, intimate moment together

Mobius opening up to Loki, and admiting he "lost it"

Loki trying to make him feel better and absolutely KILLING IT! btw, I know, that some people think, this scene doesn´t make sense, because Loki didn´t "lost it" during avengers, but was controlled by mind stone, etc.... well I think that it actually doesn´t matter. Guess what else doesn´t make sense? For example the fact, that they already talked about Loki fighting Avengers ( during their first meeting.) Loki is aware, that Mobius saw New York invasion at least twice now, and he´s telling him anyway. I would say, that point here is Loki trying to lift Mobius´s spirit, entertain him, make him smile. Why else woud he start his monolog by "remember, when...?" And I think, that this is huge, actually: Loki, using his bad memory, defeat, his humulianting experience to make Mobius feel better. So not only, that we see, he no longer care about being rurel but we see him making lightly fun of it FOR MOBIUS´S SAKE! He has different priorities now... our immortal god is a grown man now... it´s just so fucking beautiful... 🥺

Also Mobius saying to Loki: "come on, you´re the God of Mischief" Like it´s a best thing in the world, and Loki gives him THIS LOOK! (I mean that head tilt would be considered "acting" category, but I´m already making concessions by including all these things under one number :D

19) Loki and Mobius: mischievous duo

Mobius trusts him so completly!

They both such a drama queens!

And they works so well together!

like... seriously, Brad didn´t see this coming, AT ALL! xD

also... Loki complimenting his plan?!

20) "They say opposites attract. NO." Mobius´s wishfull thinking xD (But hey, it IS true. Opposites attracts. And works greatly together. That´s the only reason, why, for example, trope like grumpy one/sunshine one is so popular!) I can´t! just look at his face 🤣 Oh honey! just calm down

He is sooooooo NOT chill here xD bless him

21) Loki, not following Sylvie, but actually staying with Mobius and comforting him. AGAIN. (which is an absolutely glaring contrast compared to episode 2 in first season!)

For anyone that likes yuri/gl, you should read Sherbet Above the Sea of Fog! It’s really good, the characters are funny and the designs are beautifuly unique. The black rep is good and so is the artwork. The main character is a girl failure and disaster lesbian, and a total simp for the other fmc!

Summary (copy and pasted from mangadex): Sherbet, a girl from a noble family, is forced to marry a man she has never met. She decides to escape this fate and joins a cruise that sails through the sea of mist, a place full of legends and secrets.

Some Strange Magic (2015) HeadCanon

..Because I just watched it for the first time and I got a new obsession. (take what you like, leave the rest)

As Marianne and Bog relationship grow they both influence each other outfit. Since the Dark Forest tend to be colder, fresher, Marianne now carries a long coat made with shade of brown, allowing her to blend more easily, Bog also offer her an ornated armor set made from bark and nutshells, light but functional. offering the best protection while being incedibly beautiful. Marianne kind of does the same for him, blending the Dark Forest craft with the fairy land's ending up in Bog now wearing a new armor set with dark green and cold purple reflect that shine and light up beautifuly to the light

The Fairy land King, don't take too easy with his daughter and Bog being together and Marianne does have to travel a lot between the two kingdoms at first, trying to appease her father and live her love. But as she said in at the beginning of the movie, one of her goal as queen was to create better relationship with the dark forest folks. there was plan for it, strategy, and a will for a reconcialliation from a conflict that come mostly from misunderstanding than actual heat. So she manages to convince him not to begin any hostilities.

The Fairy Land king still pushes his oldest to seek a more "suitable" lover (read more conventionnally attractive in FL society because Bog is a very suitable party)

Bog does a lot to actually appease any tension. He is a good King, if often angry, never mean or unkind, he care for his subjects and is reasonnable and he knows how to speak to another king. But he doesn't let himself or his folks be insulted. he is a king and he deserve respect and Marianne deserve to have her choice respected. Dawn help a lot to make him step up his game for FL society

Bog despite knowing Marianne loves him is still self-councious about Marianne other suitor, fear she will leave him at some point for a more "attractive" man.

The Fairy Land and Dark Forest are two widly different ecosystem and there is a lot of cultural differences which both Marianne and Bog have to learn and adapt with each other but for their respective nation too, some of the first effort to break that cultural distance is to organise festival that are held at the border and are meant for the two people and ecosystem to meld.

Both Marianne and Bog wish to marry quite early but they are both a bit shy to admit it at first, then are blocked by how it would change the politic and relation between their two nation, and when they are set on getting married it takes a long time for it to actually happen.

Bog and Marianne often fight together for the fun of it because they are both skillful and for them it's like a dance, a moment of joy they share and they pushes each other to be better.

Bog offer Marianne a new sword for the one she lost.

Marianne discovers more about the beauty of the Dark Forest and learn to appreaciate each and every creature. Bog does the same in Fairy Land, even if it's more obvious, there is hidden beauty that he didn't know about that he just marvel at and want to share with his own people

It prompt him to offer a whole part of his kingdom to Marianne, one that had been destroyed and as trouble to heal up but looks like a small meadow. Marianne make it flourish under her careful care (she has help with it let's not kid ourselves)

True and indeniable alliance come when a third Kingdom want to invade Fairy Land. Both army fuse to push away the invaders, lead by both Marianne and Bog. The praise they get from both world finish to convince the Fairy Land King who finally agree to the relationship and stop pushing Marianne to change lover.

Bog and Marianne wedding last a whole day and a whole night.

Bog is often the little spoon and if he complain it's just for the form because he loves it, he's soft and mushy like that.

Marianne loves to hug him with her wings, envelopping him in them and kissing him. It's a very delicate touch.

Bog is a full on romantic, Marianne is a bit shy with it at first but it gets to her, because Bog kind of romantism is unique to him and very thoughtful.

Their arguments are explosif, but they are never unkind or mean to each other and they always make up and find compromise for whatever issue they have.

The first night they passed with each other (sleep not sex) they barely slept at all because they kept looking a each other, marveling at what they had now.

Nine:

God will provide: Reading Day 9

Happy Monday! Today I have a sinus infection AND pink eye! Last Friday my husband came home and said, I’m pretty sure a girl at work has pink eye. Saturday morning I woke up with pink eye, did he manifest this!?

This weekend was still a good weekend, I raked the yard and burned the leaves. The front ditch looks great (I’m pretty sure the last owners never did this) and every muscle in my body is sore! My husband mowed the yard and worked on the pool, the girls swam in the pool- a lot. I took my car in for a much needed oil change and we had Sonic and played outside at the playground while we waited. The girls had so much fun there. We also wrapped up the editing of last weekends photo shoots and they both turned out beautifuly!

Tonight I go in for a sleep study and I’m nervous about leaving my little one. My husband and B will be fine but my Henny is just such a momma’s girl. I hate the idea of her crying for me. Fingers crossed this goes well and we can mark sleep apnea off the list and move on to other reasons I am cronicly exausted. Speaking of health updates, yesterday was my last shot at the current dose of my semaglutie but because I gained two pounds in the last few days I went ahead and increased a half dose. We will see how it goes. This week I get to see the Rumo! And B has her first play, it’s 50’s themed.

Anyway, back to our bible study! This morning I was able to get in two chapters Genises 26 – 27.

In this chapter there's a famine in the land and Isaac travels away from the land he is in. God tells him to stay in the land of the Philistines and he decides to pull one of his father's old tricks and he tells the king of the Philistines that his wife Rebecca is his sister. The king then catches Isaac and Rebecca together asks why Isaac would lie to them about this, someone could have lain with Rebecca and brought guilt upon their land.  Isaac said he was afraid someone would kill him for Rebecca.

The king allowed Isaac and Rebecca to stay in the land told everyone within the land to leave them alone. Isaac grew and gained flocks until the king sent him away because he was great.

Isaac found a place to stay in the valley and dug wells for water. My understanding her is that the local people claimed the first two wells they dug and when they dug the third well it was not claimed Isaac decided there was enough room for everyone there and stayed.

Later, the Philistines came and feasted with Isaac so that there would be peace.

There is also a small mention of Esau getting married.

We then learn that as Isaac grew old he lost his sight and when he knew his time of death was near he called his oldest son Esau and he asked that he hunt a deer for him and feed him so that Isaac may bless Esau before he died. Rebecca overheard the conversation and she instructed Jacob the second son to bring her a young goat so she could prepare it and Jacob could feed it to Isaac and pretend to be Esau so he could take the blessing. Jacob was worried that he would get caught because he was not hairy like Esau. Rebecca put goat hair on Jacob and sent him with the food to his father to pose as Esau. Jacob had gotten Esau's blessing when Esau returned with the deer. Isaac told Esau what had happened and that he gave Jacob the blessing by mistake. Esau cried out and swore he would kill Jacob after his father's death.  Rebecca sent Jacob away to her brother so that Esau could calm down.

Rebecca told Isaac that she did not want Jacob marry a local woman.

Sauske's kingdom was slowly growing. His father had focused heavily on maintaining their military and it was paying off greatly. In an attempt to seize another kingdom, the Chen dynasty decided to marry a smaller kingdom for their land. The location was a strategic necessity. At least that's what Sauske's father would say. "Good morning." The prince said, admiring the woman before him. Many expected him to take his older sister's hand. Instead he chose her. Sauske's father had done a great deal to give the family everything they could want. Shouldn't Sauske get a choice in who he wed?

"I just wanted to check on you. Our wedding day is approaching." Sauske stepped forward and took her face in his hand. To him, she was like art. Beautifuly crafted and masterfully presented. She would be fit for a queen, he claimed to his mother and father when asked why he made such a decision. "Many people are in my ear because of my decision to take your hand." He confessed. "I want to quell any of your worries and hope that no one has been in your ear speaking ill of my decision."

closed starter for @purehoneybees !

𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗢𝗨𝗦. she'd been nervous many times before, but none of it was like that day. after the men had taken siege of the castle, the whole kingdom hoped the prince would take her sister's hand in marriage and yet, he he had chosen her. it had been strange few days she noted as her chamber maid fixed her blonde locks in intricate braids. her sister did not take the news gently, giving her a piece of her mind already. still, she tried to push the thoughts aside, focusing on the prince who was waiting for her. the blonde all but rushed to his presence once she was ready, a smile widening her lips at the sight of him, she stopped for a momentary curtsy before approaching. "did you send for me, my lord?"

#26 with Mando? Fluffy pls 🥺

Summary: prompt no. 26 "You are my family." Din finds his covert again and you can't help but think this is end end of you two but he has an alternative instead.

Warning/content: softness, two idiots finally tying the Knott.

I hope you like it! I tried something a little different then I normally do! 😊

There's no soothing the discomfort of your throat, trying to contain the big ball of emotion that pile in it. Your mouth is dry, tears are so close to leaking, burning the corner of your eyes as you hold it in.

Din is finally reunited with his covert, his people, his family. A single unit that have learned to love each other through hard work and secrets. It's weird, to trust and love sometime despite not ever seeing there face, you can see it in the way Din wraps his arms around a rather large Mandalorian with blue armor, pulling him close as he tries to free himself from your Mandalorian but Din doesn't give.

Honestly, if you think about it, it's not that weird because that's exactly what happened with you. His hair is a rich, brown, you only know this because one morning you woke up to find his face burried in your chest, the small strand of hair tickling your chin. He has a moustache, the passionate, long kisses of the night confirm that when he closes his own on yours. His hands are beautifuly suited for a man who wares gloves all day, a few scars and nics but smooth.

He looks over at you, catching the way your shoulders slump but you smile, its forced and fake but at least keeps the tears at bay as you watch from the side lines. Din found good family.. he doesn't need you anymore.

It's not much later when you feel a hand grasp your hip, it's as gentle as the other hand that reaches up to point your chin towards his visor. You don't have to see his face to know his eyebrows are most likely pinched with confusion and worry.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is a wrong."

Smooth gloves roam over the curve of your jaw, settling at the shell of your ear to press his forehead against your own. "You are a terrible liar, do you not like it here?"

"That's not it." You chew at the fat of your bottom lip, peering up into his own. "You seem happy here, you should stay here."

The Mandalorian is silent for a second, no doubt trying to analyze the emotion in your voice. "What about you?"

"I'll leave, you should stay with your family. You have been looking for them for so long, I don't want to be in the way."

The laugh that falls from the vocoder makes you turn in embrassment but the hand against it keeps you steady to look at him again. "Hey, hey, I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you." He pauses, his hand travels from your hip to curl the ends of your hair. "Sweet girl, you are my family. Me, you and the kid, that is my life now."

You don't know what to say, completely speechless as he looks over towards that armorer. Little horns of her helm mentioning him forward. His eyes grow wide under the helmet, nervous click of his tongue as he looks at you.

" Anyways, there's a reason we are here."

Shyly you turn back to face him, watching the way his chest stutters up and down. "What is that?"

"It order to get married, I need to have blessing. Which I got, but the problem is I don't know when I will find them again. The armor she must do it."

"You want to marry me?" You question, a small smile grazing crinkling your eyes.

"I thought it was obvious, you gave me flowers, that's a marriage proposal in my culture."

"W-What?" Your heart drops, not because of the proposal itself but the fact you have been so unaware of its lingering presence for months now.

"I'm just kidding." His laugh is cute, dorky but you know there's a grin behind it. "I've wanted to marry you from the moment you fell asleep in my bed, I knew you were meant to be my riduur."

"You're being serious right now?" Calling his buff.

His hand reaches out, offering you one final choice. Now or never, eyes shift back from his face and extended hand. "Will you marry me, sweet girl?"

Biting your lip in order to conceal the giant smile that graces blushing cheeks as you notice the glances from all those around you. "Of course I will."

You mentioned that Kei has a husband when she's all grown up, I feel like she'd let her papa help organise everything, can we get the boys helping out and being super proud of their baby in her big day?

Hey anon!

She does indeed! Nicely noticed! I genuinely love how much Kei has fascinated people - she's become such a big thing on my blog now! I love it!

And oh boy does Papa help out with her wedding! Haha, let's do this!

Thanks for the ask! I hope you enjoy!

*********************

• Very much like her dad, Kei was lucky enough to fall in love with a boy at school.

• He is a year younger than her and they met when she was 17.

• A quiet, shy boy called Shun Takagi that she ended up tutoring for a few months before she ended up asking him out on a date.

• They've been together ever since and after eight years together, he finally popped the question.

• Of course, her parents were the first to find out and they celebrated the very same evening.

• Unlike Taka and Leon, Kei will be able to marry fast and that is absolutely the plan!

• Shun, who's come out of his shell thanks to Kei, immediately knows where he wants to get married because its the same place his parents got married.

• And seeing how he grew up with his grandparents after losing both of his parents, its a no-brainer that this would be the venue.

• Kei innocently asks Taka if he'll help her wuth planning and can practically HEAR Leon's eyes rolling.

• 'He'll take over, you know?'

• 'No I won't!'

• 'Sure, whatever you say.'

• He does. Of course he does.

• He's still an Ishimaru at heart and his duties as committee council leaders still run in his veins.

• But thankfully, Kei is just as stubborn and puts her foot down.

• And between them, they design the most perfect day.

• She takes them both wedding dress shopping and Leon cries at every one.

• 'It's perfect!'

• 'You've said that about the last ten dresses, Dad.'

• 'I know but they're all perfect!'

• It's when Taka cries and Leon goes silent that she knows she's found the one.

• And obviously, her parents buy it for her outright.

• She asks Taka to teach Shun to dance (the poor boy has two left feet!) so that they can waltz together.

• She agonises for ages on which parent should walk her down the aisle before concluding that BOTH of them can do it.

• Leon helps them book the honeymoon - a beautiful bungalow psckage on a Caribbean island for two weeks since they're both beach lovers.

• And obviously Leon books some special perks for them without them knowing.

• And on the big day, they couldn't be prouder.

• As their little girl walks down the stairs in a beautifuly delicate wedding dress, they can't quite believe how grown up she is.

• Leon can barely stop crying the whole morning and Taka ends up tearing up as they walk her down the aisle.

• And as they sit in the front row, watching their only daughter smile at her now husband the way that they always smile at each other, they know that it's time to let her go and live her life and start a chapter of her own.

• They absolutely couldn't be prouder.

 Anon requested: 

okay so hear me out...

the plot is that steve or chris (your choice) proposes with this bouquet of flowers and he’s like i promise that we’ll be together until the last flower dies, but here’s the thing... one of the flowers is a plastic flower, and the reader says yes and they get married, but wait there’s more... let’s say like 3-4 years after the wedding, the reader finds something out about chris or steve (he could be having an affair or something else) and the reader’s like “no way, I can’t be with you anymore, I want a divorce,” so even though chris or steve doesn’t want to, he has no choice, so after like a long time of waiting for him to sign the papers, the reader decides to go to him and tell him to sign, and while the reader is there, he tries to convince her to not go through with it by using (that’s right you guessed it) the promise he made with the fake flower, but the reader is a strong independent person, so the reader takes the flower and throws it into the fireplace to burn it, and he’s big sad about it and tries to save the flower, and decides to sign the papers, so happy ending for reader but not for chris or steve ❤️ i hope you decide to write it!! thanks for listening!!

thank you, lovely anon, for this beautifuly heartbreaking request!!

here’s the fic!!

☕ horror movies

*rubs hands* We are entering with a big one, aren’t we? (Thanks for asking)

In general I like them. I like stories spooking me out, scaring me a bit. A too general statement for such a wide, versatile movie genre. A mixed bag a genre in general, so many specific subgenres, highs and lows of decades, having a complicated, sometimes legitimately complicated history with harmful tropes but also being a possibility of highly intelligent subversion, limit breaking - which I think can never make it a “mainstream” genre. Which I think is good since horror in genre was always a place to express and wrestle with fears,especially for the less heard voices.

From a technical standpoint I think horror is made for movies. Of course, genres, some more than others, consist of typical proportionally more mediocre entertainment, copycats of big hits, and in low time of the movie industry can detoriate into blunt formulaic bores. However I find it notable how many movies considered “cinema” or “cinematic phenomenons” having pushed forward either iconic characters of cinema history (fictional or real), especially special effects, or creative camera use are located in horror cinema. Atmosphere created by set, music, make-up, acting, lighting (!) and so on, and so can creep in a multifactory scare with so many senses. As I’m a rather visual person, I’m quiet impressed by many cinematographically beautifully composed or striking images.

Oh, and good horror is hard...! Good horror is more than the jump scare of a weirdly costumed or CGI monster. Good horror are movies prying on primal fears, using more or less subtle metaphors of these fears. The actual scary confrontational scene but also the creeping discomfort requires a fine sense for timing. Sam Raimi is exceptionally good at playing with tone.

Sadly, I’ve my squicks and content I can’t stomach, and avoid. Meaning I sadly miss out the most reformatory period of Western horror cinema after he 50s became just cheap, formulaic schlock, whereas it’s reformatory era was subversive and critical, and overall real good cinema. Personally you can locate me more in the corner of psychological, suspense and (dark) comedy horror, ghost stories, gothic romance à la Crimson Peak for the enjoyable longing drama, and hauntingly beautiful and beautifuly haunting cinematography. I discovered the genre quiet late but @incblackbird was primarily responsible for educating me on the matter ;)

Well now, I’ve to be honest, I think horror has questionable tropes which are in need to be addressed. I think, no genre is free of them, and we’ve to keep in mind that some tropes are repeated by convention and not mal-intention (liek certain behaviors in romcoms or crime stories). My biggest per peeves is the sensationalist use of psychwards and psychosis. Whereas commonly patients of these institutions are mostly positioned as victims of bad doctors (stemming in reality because, oh boy, the formation of clinical psychiatry is a not that old dark era in medical history which is still in need to be entirely refurbished and in need to be continuously reformed) they barely is ever receive a voice and are still used for “scary behavior” which I personally think is... not sympathetic, rather continuously dehumanizing. As horror isn’t a main stream genre some tropes do not get as widely discussed as others - and let’s be real some discussion of “bad tropes” are attempted to subverted in the most obvious, unimaginative way leaving no substance. By example, Disney getting criticized for insta love stories in their fair tale movies (imagine questioning cheese in an old Disney movies), then in Frozen spelling out that Anna can’t marry a guy she just met. So now Anna dates the second guy she met but otherwise the story is just subversion of subversion’s sake....

However, I noticed whenever horror is stuck, it gets out of the state of stagnation quicker than other genres as many different voices and creators find a chance to bring their own ideas to the table. Currently, I noticed, the Black reclamation of horror going on in the US, with Jordan Peele as noticable name but also the creativity and charme of “Lovecraft Country” (2020). Fresh takes with new and important perspectives.

At the moment I have the impression of horror cinema having a little renaissance of craft. When movies like “Midsommar” or “Get out” having at least their little toes in the door of mainstream attention, and a string of non formulaic cinema releases like Robert Eggers or the empty Man breaking free from the usual jump scare to fill the seats, the Haunting of... anthology simultaneously scaring and emotionally tossing audiences, receiving positive critical feedback.... I kinda enjoy horror, especially pschological and folk horror a lot these days.

In conclusion: Horror as a genre, now specifically as cinematic genre is a mixed bag. However I think everyone could find something for themselves, be it either for entertainment or subversive storytelling. Also check out horror from all different countries. I guess I don’t have to mention the briliance and range of South-Korean horror, so “Under the Shadow” and “let the right one in” would be my personal recommendation. ;) (Please check out the description and age limit justification for things you might find scary.) (A seasoned horror-fan is perhaps a good advisor when beginning to navigate through the genre to rule out squicks and personal no-gos... It’s a graphic genre.)

send me a ☕️ and a topic and I’ll talk about how i feel about it

MEG!! MEG!! OH GOD IDK WHY I FIND THIS SO FUNNY BUT LIKE,,If I was AFK MC I’d want kids. It’s something I want in the future and I imagine she does as well because she has it in every route BUT ANYWAYS!!

IF THERE WAS A ZEUS ROUTE,,,AND HE AND MC GOT MARRIED AND HAVE A KID,,,I just imagined Hercules (I spelt it Jercules at first and am I really wrong?? As in Jerk??) being so confused and like, “WHY??” Like the king of gods, having ANOTHER kid, and actually being a good parent?? Maybe?? Hilarious to me-

Anyways dad Zeus is something I like to imagine and it lives rent free in my brain like Alex does.

AND ONE MORE IDEA!!

I’ve been into lullabies recently (London Bridge is Falling Down to be specific and you are my sunshine) and I imagined...Alex listening to MC singing Jason a lullaby when he was being fussy in the night as a baby and they hear it and...they’re in love with it. She’s rocking him and her beautiful voice is singing so softly yet so beautifuly and god just imagining Alex being in awe of their family...they have a kid that they love with all of their heart...and have the love of their live that they’ve always wanted to be with...and their life is better than good...I love the idea😭. And I love Alex😭-

STUDY IN LOKI ROMANCE Part 1: Ouroboros

Since we're only a few days away from the last episode, I decided to COUNT DOWN everything we´ve got so far ( that can be interpreted very easily as romantic ) and discuss what the actual fuck is going on with second season. Because even though I shipped lokius practically from S1E2, I absolutely did NOT expect this kind of development. (Not that I´m complaining) Warning: This is gonna be LONG post, lots of screenshots, lots of SPOILERS, lot of "oh-my-god-they-so-cute" language, and little bit of meta. I originally thought that this post would be everything at once, but since I have just too many screenshots this time around, I´ll have to split it. so every post will be one episode. Color coding means:

IIIIIIIIII = anything, that coud potentialy be just acting choice.

IIIIIIIIII = everything else (tzn.: whatever was written, and/or carefully prepared by filmmakers. )

side note: I already wrote, about how amazing it is, that Mobius is unable to fight but fights anyway and how beautifuly, and ridiculously brave he is HERE. But this is about Loki/Mobius interactions, so I´ll try my best not to talk about THAT. (Even when I´m really happy, that s2 continues with this formula and Mobius is still his completely defenseless while aggressively brave self. I love him, btw.)

Soooo EPISODE 1, le´t go: 1)"Mobius It´s me!" few second in and we have slowmo chasing scene with detail on Loki, and Mobius and then THIS Loki´s heartbreaking look on his face here.

2) "Tell me, you recognize me!" (Loki trying to desperetly find Mobius, and then running towards him) Also If this Time slipping didn´t triggered anything external, but It´s just his own, unlocked power - I honestly don´t know, how they will explain that - does that mean, that he unknowingly unlocked this power, because he was send by Silvie into the past, and then he was simply desperete and Mobius couldn´t recognized him so his body reacted by time slipping to place and time, where Mobius would know who he is???

3) this very unexpected exhibition of touches (meaning Mobius practicaly glueing himself to Loki for this entire section)

I´m sorry, but my man here is like "no, I´m not about to let you have a personal space. NOT. AN. OPTION. let me hold you some more" xD

4) This scene in in an elevator first of all, that was a second time, he slipped and was RIGHT back with Mobius, the very next second. secondly: Mobius being scared for Loki and insisting he needs immediate help thirdly: Loki reassuring Mobius, It´s not that bad.

also this "we just had sex in a cabin" shot:

and lastly...

Big thanks to the film crew for this shot to give us an idea just HOW MUCH OF AN UNUSED SPACE was in the elevator! 👌

5) Mobius and Loki talking to OB. being perfectly coordinated team and smoothly working together, while standing on a same spot, but in a completely different time.

poetry... just poetry!

6) Distressed God and his Happy Face just so we know: how long is it, since their reunion? Because I would swear that not even five minutes ago Loki was in state of complete panic, and look at him now:

Look at him smiling, enjoying view at struggling mobius 💚

few minutes with this man, and HE forgets all about his trauma and just vibing.

me too, Loki. Me too 🥲

btw, this thing over here?!!!!

7) bickering, like married couple, part 1

8) "Mobius if I don´t make it back" and "You´ll make it back". What was it, what where you about to say Loki? It sounded important! next time TALK FASTER!

9) Mobius risking his life SKIN for loki and refusing to give up on him.

10) Loki saves Mobius in an epic fashion and they end up in a hug: also they roll around the floor together

I mean... this whole scene was absolute TOP! So yeah. That was a first episode. before the premiere I was litteraly hoping, that I will see our Loki and our Mobius together at least ONCE, before first end credits. I actually couldn´t believe my own eyes, holy shit!

Asahi, Aone and Ushijima :) (Big boi squad)

I like big bois, especially when they also are pretty bois

Fuck Aone he’d be a great lay, and I feel like he’s the big guy who’s actually not very experienced and there’s nothing like soft domming a big quiet shy man. And I bet he blushes beautifuly.

Marry Asahi, look at this man and tell me he would be an amazing husband and also he’s a fashion designer!! Like I’d always be looking cute as shit, and he’d be using me as a model for his works, just aaaah🥰😍

Kill Ushijima, I really don’t have a reason other then I kinda hate him, and have no clue why.

For some backstory, suppose Toshi was the original sun deity, while Enji was just a fire god, envious that in terms of light and heat, Toshi forever has him beat. Because of this he married moon goddess Rei in the hopes of getting a child with flames and the power of a celestial body. Yagi meanwhile married a lovely earth goddess, Inko, and had his very green and star speckled son.

THIS IS VERY VERY GOOD. I like how you incorporated endeav*r’s whole ambitious story theme into this and by marrying Rei, they got Moon!Shouto. AND YOU ALSO GAVE ME TOSHINKO, GOD BLESS YOU NONY. I’m like

That’s so good. And they get Sun!Izuku, the star speckled boy, with star dusted, sunkissed cheeks and freckles. A beautifuly Sun Deity that shines so brightly since the day he was born and All Might knew he was meant to be the Sun when he stepped down. 

Meanwhile, Shouto glowed as well, having the energy from his Fire God father to shine while he got his Moon attributes from his Moon Goddess mother and thus took over as the Moon that illuminated the night. 

I feel like I’m messing it up afklafjakl. Do you have more ideas nony? This is turning out to be a really great au and I’m so here for it.
