Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Abominable
Tumblr media
Wow I can't believe Dreamworks made their own version of Up but without the Dead Wife and Flying House and with a Yeti instead of a colorful bird
Anyway, this movie was kind of a mystery to me going in, because I swear to god I've never heard anyone ever talk about this, so I had no idea what to expect out of it. As for what I got, well... it was... actually pretty ok! So let's get into it.
Tumblr media
After the death of her father, teenager Yi has grown distant from her family and her friends, Jin and his younger cousin Peng. That is, until she happens upon an escaped yeti, eventually named Everest, after she decides to help the creature get back to his home on Mount Everest, roping Peng and Jin along for the trip. All the while, they're being chased by the wealthy collector Mr. Burnish and zoologist Dr. Zara, who are determined to recapture the yeti and put it on display.
So yeah, a pretty simple "get mysterious creature back to where they belong" plot that we've seen in plenty of other movies in the past. The movie does kind of fumble over more than a few cliches when it comes to that plot, and the characters, for the most part, are a bit too simple and one-note for my liking. The tone is also a little strange, with some weird humor mixed in with often heavy-handed attempts at whimsy and drama. The pacing is also kind of strange? I don't know how to explain it but something is... off about the way this film presents its story and I can't... seem to articulate why.
Tumblr media
As for the characters, like I said, they're all pretty simple. I feel like Yi is a little confusing and doesn't really have a clear character arc? Like she just decides to help Everest almost immediately after meeting him? Like literally just travel across China on a whim??? What? I get she's an impulsive teenager but still, bruh, that's just wacky. Peng is your typical hyperactive kid character, and he grated on the nerves a handful of times. Out of our main human trio, I think Jin is the best, he's a pretty funny character who goes through an actual arc, starting off as a tech-obsessed stick in the mud before learning to enjoy the journey alongside the others. Everest is also just... your typical cute creature cliche? He doesn't have a ton in the way of a personality and he has these powers that are kind of just... whatever the plot needs them to be? Like deus-ex-machina yeti fr fr out here.
Tumblr media
Our villians are... surprisingly interesting! We start off thinking Mr. Burnish is our greedy big bad capitalist when, surprise! Dr. Zara actually is instead and I love her cause she goes from zero to 100 so fast and yeah, she's a twist villian cliche but I don't care because she kind of a baddie there I said it.
Tumblr media
As for presentation, this movie is honestly gorgeous. Like seriously, it is so damn pretty to look at. The set pieces are so vibrant and colorful and the scale of them is awe-inspiring. The character designs felt kind of weird to me at first, burt I grew used to them as the film went along, and they're animated very nicely. There's a lot of scenes in this movie that were clearly just Dreamworks flexing, and you know what? I'm not gonna fault them for it. They're beautiful.
Tumblr media
Something else that's beautiful about this movie is its score. Yi plays the violin and that actually becomes a major plot point throughout the film and every time she picks that instrument up, we get some truly soulful, beautiful pieces. This soundtrack is nowhere near as memorable as something like HTTYD's but its still absolutely lovely in its own right, I think.
So yeah, Abominable was one of the more surprising movies of the Dreamworks watch. I kept forgetting I would even have to eventually watch it until now, but I think, for what it is, it's ok. I wouldn't call it great, but I wouldn't call it terrible either. It's a perfectly servicable film about a bunch of kids and a yeti going on a cross-country adventure. And sometimes, that's all ya need.
Overall Rating: 6/10
Verdict: Evil Unetical Scientists Can Be Hot Sometimes, Actually

Ewwww word vomitted my man.
Think he ignored me on purpose like damn my girl crazy sending paragraphs.
(Paranoid thinking)
No no. First was to say I'm proud of him and sorry I wasnt supportive.
I'm glad he's wanting to go back to school and quit stuff and I'll be here with him along the way.
I start word vomiting memories with him oops...
( when he first told me this, I was an ass ignoring the conversation really and we fought over bullshit and just gah never talked about it all weekend. I just wanted him to know I DID HEAR HIM and I really care. I'm proud he wants to work on himself )
oh and I apologized I never give him a chance to talk, I over talk over him then he gives up.
Makes me sad cause boo I wanna hear what you have to say!!!! But he just like nope forget it.... I'll learn to slow down so I can hear you, that's all I want. Him to be comfortable and open with me. I love listening to him, just sometimes he so quiet and I just idk hahaha get used to talking like the whole time for the both of us. I'm weird.
He said thankyou and I love you to this. Told me sleep cause ya I'm wired.
Then I sent him another appreciation and apology over our fights....
Even though it annoys me I LOVE HE BITES BACK and doesn't tolerate my shit for being a bitch for no reason when he doesn't derseve it and I'm so sorry.
(This why I hate nice guys, they can't handle it! Can't even put me in my place when I need it so I get worse and worse)
Where with caige idk.... like yes it gets mean (him especially when he's pissed off) but I don't wanna get to that point where Im the one saying the cruelst shit I can NEVER TAKE BACK.
Bipolar rage is no joke but fuck I gotta keep that temperature from not boiling. He helps test that water man..... like man...... the one expression I have to old back is the fucking hardest!!!!
He didn't see that message :( or was like boy she on a roll hahaha but agh I just wanted him to know ya. I love him. And stuff. Sorry. I think of you. From your nutty gf.
This relationship I know is...... something I want. First time in over 10 years, all the men I've ever ignored. I chose HIM. Even after of like almost 4 years of making him sleep at the foot of my bed lolol friend zoned.
Idk agh my heart strings when I found out the song he showed me wasn't for me wah that night, the thing that made fell for him. Dammit I sooo stoopid eh. As if...... mofo lucky he got in these pants, he claims I came to him first, no dummy... I went to you after you like..... man...
Idk wanna think of back then.... it was hard. Point being, he's mine now. That month apart, did good. Seeing eachother again made him realize what the fuck he wanted. I was like TOOO late, had ur chance (HE was like ah we should've just dated, mmmm I wanted you, you didn't want me) anywho teased him till the sun came up, oi boy.... here we go again *we banged* lol.
Then shut the front door. I tried running from again. I loved him bruh was hard not having him. He was like you think this easy on me? My life is not together, I'm like nether is mine.... he wanted us both to get where we needed to be first but why torture ourselves idk... or if he just making excuses and doesn't feel the same. SET ME FREEEE.
I was gonna be like bye :( but needed my journals from him.... anyway we took my pup to dog park. Then we went to our spot. This other lil park. It was our getting high spot from weed to our coke head days, drinks, and jib man.
And it became the spot where he asked me to be hissss.
Fuckin eh. Romantically high.
Took a walk down to the bushes/trees, well pup ran around following us. Our baby hahaha he step dad now.
He leaned against fallen down tree and pulled me close, as we both smoked Dat dumb drug. But that don't matter. Just agh KNOWING WE WERE FINALLY TOGETHER. Awkwardly saying babe now smiling and glowing...
(minus my bad news at same time of those pre cancerous cells) it was like hold the phone, lemme enjoy this right now.
Agh. Just man.... me single all this time.... and it's you????
The spot (years ago) he was to drunk and high and passed out in the snow. Was so heavy, I'm like we gotta go I'm not abandoning you out here in the cold!!!!!! Tells me should've left him IM LIKE NO you my bro, I'm getting ya home safe lol
Got stuck in the ditch there backing out oops..... made him come home with me. Again we did not sleep or kiss or nothing. I loved just his presence and being fucked up with him LOL I'm pretty sure he slept at the foot of the bed still.
Anyway he was to start a job that morning.... fuckin snow was heavy that night. What happend again? Got stuck in my own driveway this time fuck..... his fault this one. Other one was mineeee. His dad had to come pull me car out ermahgod..... then we rushed and got his ss to town so he made it to work. Lol I would've felt like shit cause I made him come home with me and if he'd missed that first day agh see I'm not always a good influence.
Holy man. I hate he got that job tho. Terrible. Just he reconnected with alot of drug people meh idk bleh. It's different when weeee do drugs together, doesn't count lololol and eh he was my friend, I think I started getting less attention. Yes I'm jello, I hog friends to myself hahaha
Fuckin hell.... idk how we did it back then. Just friends but we were close af. He was so quiet and depressed when I first met him and I was fucking manic as hell walking on cloud 9. The sun eh......
Then man things are blurry..... just always remembered him coming here to get STONED AF. We'd watch chucky together. Nd idk..... used to try sleeping normally but once we snuggled and awkwardly pecked abit and then I was like no cock blocked him. Back to the foot of the bed sir!!!!!
So fucking weird mannnnn. Doi I think we both wanted eachother during times but he couldn't have meeee so yenno did his own shit. Idk he would tell me his relationship stuff and I was like bruh the woman no derseve youuuu leave!
But we'd joke, he like oh I gotta send my money to my gf in city and I'd be like why don't I get money, he'd say be my gf then and you would lol
Just random shots like that. I know for a fact I'd sense jealousy when he'd have a women lol but I'm like no no, boy just a friend.
Fuck and when I had my first LDR I swear to God is when he started testing me. We were drunk and stoopid. He kept trying to kiss me, didn't count I didn't kiss back!
He'd try and leave to his parents and I'd literally be holding him tight, wrapped around his leg not wanting him to go.
Like man, I loved having him with me, his presence sleeping over, even tho we weren't a thing. Hated when he just come get high and had to go......
Jealousy bipolar drugs is why I think I distance myself for awhile after all that.... oh I was mad he made me feel like cheated -.-.
He was literally the guy in memes girls would say ' don't worry he's just a frieeeend ' well shit, look at us now.
How we BECOME WEEEEE. Fuckin eh. I was high..... on jib the first time.... we talked about how I haven't got laid in forever, he'd always offer him and I'm like no I don't sleep with my friends.
Even before then fuck, always some sexual tension was between us getting idk harder as time went on. I be bad and accidently let him see some sexy selfies oops. Boy that what you can't have šŸ˜‚.
Eventually just causal touching would happen like I didn't care if grabbed my boobs, was all just idk jokes.
Even busy fucking curiosity me stoned asking, well how big is it????? Oh fuck that's what happend that night he was here (when I was in my ldr) we almost banged. (I'm like you just want me more now cause I'm taken!) We was wasted......
But ya he had me in a position where I was laying on the bed him standing up, just grrrrr. Guess dry fucking lmfao. I remember wanting it sooo bad LIKE NO NO HES A FRIEND AND YOU HAVE A MAN NOW (tho really i don't count that anymore as boyfriend, just someone I used to FaceTime alot lolol but at the time it felt like cheating)
That fucker, once again building that damn sexual vibe AHHHHHH.
I don't think we hung out for awhile after that. I was mad at him lol trying to get with me all of sudden.
Anywho anywho, ldr died, time went on we haven't seen eachother in awhile. I missed him and wanted him as my friend again. Tho everyone told me not to, that he just uses me and stuff whatever idk. Didn't care. I did but gr.
Like something about that boy had me like a magnet towards him.
Back to the day I first got high on jib. Which IM MAD CAUSE I READ SHIT WRONG. Or idk. Anywho. Talked all night long. Snuggling and stuff. By morning, I said this story before, I let him have me lol. Like why torture myself man. Sex sex sex.
Shit he confuses this idk why. I have a shit and good memory. He likes to say I came to him first. No. We banged at mine first doofus. Then I wanted to see ya again is how I ended up going to his and rest is history of fucking bs confusing ahhhhhhhh.
Bruh anyway before we even banged asked if loved him.... awkward ass question. Like idk..... and I was scared of commitment and shit and it was a weird conversation. I can't say I love you rn?
Smh by the time he left. He stopped looked at me. Don't get attached. I was like bruh wtf?
Idk one of those days he was at mine..... I was all over him, I made it clear I wanted more. he didn't. Was frustrating af. Cause ya I was scared to date but I was sick of hook ups and men that were unavailable saying I was to good for them.
So it's like really again.... but I my dumbass was like I ain't raising my number again. Noone else to bang, he re woken the sexual beast LMFAO so let's keep this ride going I guess .
Which fuck me. Was great for the most part except I turned into a jib head.... we just smoke and hide in his room alllll daaaay. Gaming, Journaling, coloring, me talking alllll the time, making videos, this is where I got in to tumblr when I forgot my journal one day, and I discovered how to make gifs šŸ˜‰
So I'd make him gifs hehe. Anyways you lucky bastards that followed me..... got all those gifs hahaha when me and him stopped talking. Or well just idk.. just bestfriends. I was like fuck it I'll share my gifs here where they feel appreciated lol he not my man.
Then welcome to the hoeboe blog! Which is crazy cause nows it my bipolar blog diary thingy hahahaha
Yeah yeah yeah man. Anyway I think yall know the rest of our love story. He was wanting me when shit was just TO LATE! EMOTIONAL TORTURE falling for someone who didn't wanna date you smh. You fucker made me fall for you.
Oh we had a fight recently where he said the same to me, I got him to fall for me and made him catch feelings. good. I love you.
Like I don't think he derseved me... this girl cracked out said he didn't deserve me lmao I'm like yeah I know..... but fuck man life's short..
The heart wants what the heart wants. ā˜ ļø
Man. Do I trust him? I'm bipolar I don't trust anyone really. My suspicions kill me inside everyday. Haha
Funny. We don't have eachother on any social media but messenger..... but I kind of like it that way. Keeps me from ever hitting stalker mode lol your business is yours unless you wanna share it with me. Bruh I seen Samantha notification pop up as I watching you play on your iPad. My head like WHOSE THE BITCH. Then it like nah.....
To grown for that shit. Unless I fuckin bust him with concrete proof yenno.... whatever then.
Just lemme enjoy having someone for once and ignore any paranoia or suspicions. Plus fuck man you NEED TO TRUST to start a relationship silly to go into one and just be like whose this bitch instantly, you cheating eh?
I will trust till he proves not to. Tho I know he's a pro liar eh eh. He knows I'm a good manipulator. Soo hmph.
Back to like guy can talk to whoever whatever. Just don't DAMN FLIRT YOUR MINEEEE. Like I have my guy friends I talk to.
Holy shiet before our month apart we were here getting fucked up. I had Randoms from whisper on my snap. He was like kinda losing it next to me. So I was telling someone about it and leaned over hiding me text. He was like IS THAT YOUR BOYFRIEND all mad and jealous lmfao and then denied it next day saying I no care. You like me and are jello, heheh.

Excerpt 1: From the roleplay Rose Gets Tortured (we're so not creative sometimes, I know)
Plot: The Great Enchantress Rose was tricked into going to the facility of Wissenschaft (meaning the pursuit of knowledge), an institution used for experimentation of powered and non-powered beings, known as a place of great evil. Rose just found out her husband, Catheir, was the reason she was there, after almost a year of literal torture.
"Rose turned around swiftly, flinching as she hadn't allowed Constantine to fully heal her. "Explain what? How you tricked me? How you're the reason I went through that literal hell?! Did you ever even really love me?!" She was crying at this point, yelling at him. "Nevermind, I don't even want to know the answer to that. You're just like him." She turned away from him as she quietly said that. He knew who she meant."
"Rose twitched a little, tears streaming down her face. "You used me. It doesn't matter what it was for, you sent me to a death trap, to someone who used me and cut me open and destroyed me from the inside out." She was beginning to panic again, flashing back to her time there, with Derek and everything else. "From day 1 I was going through so much bullshit, existing was painful. I almost gave up! I gave up hope that I could get out!" She started hyperventilating some, going into a panic attack. "You- your acting just like- he did!" She yelled at him between frantic breathing. "I had to live my kids- dying in front- of me, I was- so scared of losing you!"
"Rose was vaguely aware of his presence, barely felt his hands touch her, no longer basking in the warmth of his touch. It had taken him so long to earn her touch and now. Now Rose wasn't sure if she'd ever be able to trust him again. She hoped this was just a hallucination, but knew it wasn't. She was home and her husband had put her in this position. She steadied her breathing a bit, trying to become conscious again. She wanted to- no needed to see her children, to know they were safe. But she needed to not be so broken to do that. She wouldn't show them this part of her, not if she could help it. "I'm going to see the children. I'm going inside to wash up." She said, semi-lifelessly. She struggled to get up a bit, shoving away any help Catheir would try to give her."
Ya'll, the way she just turns cold, this bitch compared him to her ex, who fucking got an angry mob to try and kill her for having magic. This is so damn impactful. She spent years learning to trust him to the point of finally admitting she loved him, recovering from the hurt of her first love. And this coldness, the wondering if he even loved her, this was her worst nightmare. A nightmare she was forced to relive over and over in Wissenschaft, since their resident scientist (his name is Derek, very important evil man) could make her hallucinate. She got through convincing herself it wasn't true. Only to get out and it is.
Bruh, I get chills when I read this still, the confrontation is perfectly written, but this scene is the one that hurts.
Also, I didn't even include the parts where her son is just getting pissed that Catheir hurt his mom and tries to kill the guy.

... i forgot i was doing this
C TIER - understandable sadness
Magnus Nielsen
Tumblr media
It pains me to say your father is a cheater but he doesnā€™t seem detrimental as a father, so weā€™re assuming a chill enough childhood
He is in and amongst ā€˜missing peopleā€™ drama which would take a toll on a guy, ESPecially when they get introduced to time travel (doesnā€™t mean you can treat Bartosz like that though? Damn chill)
Then he gets transported to 1888ā€¦ my apologies sir your life sucks now but alsoā€¦ you didnā€™t die in the apocalypse so? [more in-depth 1888 take here]
Martha The Squeekuel pops up and thatā€™s a whole lotta shit to deal with butā€¦ heā€™s not the one that has to deal with it? Though it is probably rubbing salt in the wound that he lost his sister in the Apocalypse
Why work with Jonas though? Why work with Adam? From what we have seen this is not the most persuasive man in the world so, other than a tainted sense of duty to him for saving your life, why would you follow along with all the shit he is doing? Why would you, YOU, send Adam into the future to ā€˜preserve the loopā€™ when you KNOW what he means is he will KILL your SISTER? Same thing with him then sending AltMartha to them. Ainā€™t no way he actually buys into the ā€˜greater goodā€™ crap. The emo anarchist should at least have ā€˜bullshit immunityā€™. Come on. Because thereā€™s no explanation for why he goes along with it. He should HATE Adam and Jonas. Makes no damn sense.
Boris / Alexander Tiedemann
Tumblr media
Unfortunately nothing is known of his younger life, but he did in fact accidentally do a murder as a teen (how does he get a gun? Iā€™m assuming nefarious activities so heā€™s not 100% innocent)
But then he protects Regina (and gives her SMILES like heā€™s so nice) and makes her so so much happier (especially with her mother disappearing/ grandad dying) and then they get married, have kid, and overall just become THE family ever (making Regina able to be the mother she never had)
THEN they all have to deal with her illness and he has to deal with being blackmailed (for absolutely no reason other than Hannah is jealous, self centred and straight-up rude, aka no fault of his own so he never deserved this)
And then he just has to die alone during the apocalypse (he doesnā€™t know that his family is able to survive it) which is v v sad
Overall he really went from low to high and right back to low so he gets a redemption/family from me
Jana Nielsen
Tumblr media
We sympathise with son disappearance/death, as well as husbandā€™s cheating, sure she loses her mind a lil bit and takes it badly butā€¦ who wouldnā€™t? She is excused
And then your grandson disappears and it's like the same thing happening all over againā€¦ bruh if i was her iā€™d live in fear of this psycho serial killer that likes repeating his crimes exactly only like a generation later but hitting the same family to really rub it inā€¦ terror, horror, tragedy
Plus your OTHER son disappearsā€¦ holy shit
And then she probably dies in the apocalypse. Like not a single break for this woman
The reason sheā€™s not higher is just the lack of psychological torture derived from the sci-fi-fuckery that happens to certain others - like apart from a few weird happenings when Mikkel disappears, itā€™s just the trials and tribulations of loss (notĀ  just but, you know what I mean)
Tronte Nielsen
Tumblr media
Absent father moment? Ominous father moment? Your mother does not care about you and instead pretty much leaves you for dead moment? Younger Claudia is a predator moment? Damn this guyā€™s childhood sucks.
Then for a while itā€™s good, he has a whole family and everything, up until 1986
Your son is missing, your wife is a wreck, your other son is emo (what a tragedy), your gf no longer wants to bone, I mean heā€™s not got much going for him
Then he actually finds his son but its 33 years later which is weird to say the least and emotions come flooding back and whatnot and youā€™re confused but they moved on from that fairly quickly (apart from the fact that the police and you wife now have suspicions)
Then more of your family go missing in 2019 (cray cray) so itā€™s kinda hard-hitting for him
And the whole surviving the apocalypse without your family moment happens and your gf wants you to kill her kid? Weird but ok, that leaves you a bit thrown but hey, at least it wasnā€™t your kid
And thatā€™s it he just dies afterwards so not the best but not anything huge, you get a stop/cheating/everyone
AltMartha
Tumblr media
If it was split between martha and eva then martha would be way the fuck down in E but hey ho
Up to 2019 sheā€™s absolutely vibing, yes her parents divorced but that was for the best babes, she has her siblings, she has a bf, she has friends, itā€™s dandy
Then we get JONAS whichā€¦ I can understand being creeped out by whatā€™s happening, and you get a connection with the guy because he shows you freaky time travel shiz and he proves that he knows you (or at least some version of you) butā€¦ do you love the guy??? Do you even actually KNOW the guy??? Because i don't think so in the slightest
So you ignore saving everyone from the apocalypse in favour of a spicy sesh (with the guy you do not know) and then he dies in front of you andā€¦ again you just don't know him well enough to be that sad bro
And yeah she has to then kill him after knowing sheā€™s pregante but you donā€™t KNOW him, how many times do I have to say this
And she has her big epic quest to jonas and backā€¦ nothing much happened apart from her being weird and nervous and double-agent-y (iā€™m not saying any of that is bad, but was she suffering? No. Maybe in the cage. That was temporary.)
Yes in one version she is ruthlessly and seemingly painfully killedā€¦ oopsie doopsie, we move on (this is one of the moments that actually bumped up her rating)
So she then has a sonā€¦ who she maybe looks after for a few yearsā€¦ before just handing him off to his older self to roam around across time
Just this whole thing with her kid is so weird likeā€¦ apparently he is her motivation to do everything, yet she gives him no name, she was acquaintances with his dad, and let's face it, she has no real maternal connection to him, at least from what we see in the show
HE feels a connection to HER, especially the version that is not his mother yet, but that looks to be because he WANTS a mother!!! Real bad!!! And no-one will give him one!!!! (no really that hug from smol unknown and the look in the middle oneā€™s eyes, youch it was emotional) but she does not reciprocate!!! She only starts panicking about the time loop (yeah, i get that but still) and just doesn't really give a shizzle about her own offspring
Another thing that bumped her rating is middle martha. She looks lonely and kinda just going through the motions over in her desert, its kinda sad actually
Like everyone she knows is dead, and all she can do is spy on everyone and make sure everythingā€™s happening as it should. It sucks
(there should have been a crossover between jonas and martha middle versions. They could have gotten to know each other like adults and they wouldn't be so lonely and insane)
That sorta continues over to Eva, like just how boring does it have to be
All day long it's justā€¦ keep doing what you gotta doā€¦ and thatā€™s itā€¦
And she usually gets oofed by adam but she literally knew it was coming and she had nothing else to do with her life and he had been making peace with it for 33 years so idc
But people have it way worse so she gets a stranger/danger
Dark Schmerz-o-meter analysis
AKA the comprehensive tier list of pain and suffering (fun!)
Characters are all ranked on a scale of S-E and are all relative to one another (yes, you can be sad and still go in E tier). To reiterate, they are NOT ranked based on how much I like them, how good their character is written, or suchlike (although there may be some correlation), this list ONLY takes into account how hard their life was, how much suffering they have had to endure, etc. Points are indeed taken away if you are the one actively causing the sadness (how much depends on e.g. whose idea it was/ how much enthusiasm you did it with).
(also I'm only referring to Adam's-World versions of the characters, unless otherwise specified, because we just have way more information about them)
Feel free to disagree/ counter-argue, this is just my list and my analysis (all for fun).
(OK I'll stop stalling) So why don't we get started with the best of the worst:
E Tier - You don't know what pain is
Hannah Kahnwald
Tumblr media
She starts having the affair whilst she is STILL MARRIED (she was unawares that Michael was literally penning his suicide note whilst she was having a smooch with Ulrich) - she also has the inability to love imo, she just has the ability to love attention
Sheā€™s not even that good a mother either, she kinda leaves Jonas alone and is only really sad because she no longer has a mans to give her all that attention (PLUS her fling left her too, and then she has the AUDACITY to ask (not ask - FORCE) Alexander to DESTROY HIM for choosing to focus on his MISSING SON instead of HER!!!!!!
And then when Jonas leaves sheā€™s just more attention-deprived so she thought about offing herself but then thought well if Iā€™m dead no-one can pay attention to meeeeeee so decided against itĀ 
Then Jonas returns (33 years older but it is still her SON who displays AFFECTION towards her) and as soon as she finds out about time travel sheā€™s like you know what this means? An opportunity to find more MEN, and she commits THEFT even though Jonas reeeeally needed that machine (she only cares about herself), and proceeds to go to Ulrich ONLY TO TELL HIM SHE HATES HIM BECAUSE HE TRIED TO SAVE HIS SON I MEAN WHO DOES THAT
yes I am well aware that he was unable to say he loves her when she did but I will get more in depth with that later and I mean, come on, man has other priorities, could you really not get him out of prison???? so he can save his son???????
And then obviously she promptly moves on to the first man she sees (married, but she doesnā€™t care of course) (itā€™s the guy she reported Ulrich to way back when in the future/past, but she doesnā€™t care of course) AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY SHE LOST EVERYTHING like MADAM you did not care about your husband, your boyfriend only mattered because he gave you attention, and your SON has RETURNED with all the LOVE he has LEFT from this CAR CRASH of a reality and you RUN AWAY FROM HIM WHILST HE IS ASLEEP AND YOU SAY YOU LOST EVERYTHING MAā€™AM YOU ARE TO BLAME FOR EVERYTHING I ACTUALLY CANā€™T WITH THIS WOMAN-
Iā€™m convinced she has a soft spot for kids because i canā€™t imagine what other reason she really has for having Silja (she obviously never loved Egon) so she has her and then she gets taken to Jonas and PRETENDS like NOTHING ever happened, like she didn't abandon him when he returned to her to go have a kid with someone else and she didn't steal his most important possession
And then YES she is tragically killed by her own son (which is usually a trait of someone very high up on the list (RIP in pepperonis Bartosz you are loved) but I don't care, she deserved it, otherwise the family tree would be 100 times more kaput if she was allowed to populate it even more, especially if she still has access to the machine) and thatā€™s it, she gets a shut up/die
Ines Kahnwald
Tumblr media
So people seem to be opinionated both ways with this one but here we go
I guess she WAS doing everything for Michaelā€™s own good - he rocks up with no family or anything to speak of, heā€™s real scared and sad and she does in fact take him in when otherwise he would have been homeless jobless lifeless so yay Ines
And yeah I guess you could say itā€™s hard on her when heā€™s distant from her and everything but like? What did you expect? Thatā€™s not your real son bro???
And then she has to deal with his suicide (but again, he was kinda distant anyway it seems) and you get alienated by Hannah (honestly a good thing) but all in all it is nothing in comparison so you get a meh/maybe I don't actually care all that much, Hannah has taken all my energy
Doris Tiedemann
Tumblr media
You did cheat on your husband. Idc who, why, with who, whatever, if you cheat then you a bitch for that and i have nothing more to say on the matter
Yeah then Agnes goes missing, then they potentially reunite, itā€™s all tame in comparison letā€™s be honest, idk/idc
Anyone else who I do not mention in any tier is either not a particularly significant character or they do not compare :) stay tuned for D Tier if you want

Watching the Rise of the Titans movie and I'll be documenting all of my thoughts/reactions here. [Spoiler Warning]
So instead of reblogging every new update, I'm just going to have this post up on my phone as I watch and type my reactions in a bullet list format.
Nari's human disguise is so cute. As someone who does have a cottagecore aesthetic, I want to cosplay her so bad
Are Skrael and/or Belroc non-binary coded? Regardless, I'm also obsessed and I want to fuck Skrael and be Belroc.
STEVE CARING ABOUT JIM BEING HURT YESSSS!!! My god his redemption has probably been one of the greatest there is because he doesn't just suddenly go from being a bully to a completely good person. You can see the gradual shift in learning better throughout the shows which is awesome.
IN NEW YOOOOOOORRRRRRRK!!!!!! CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!
The mugshot montage reminded me of season 1 of trollhunters when toby and Jim were arrested at the museum.
STRICKLER PUT A RING ON IT??? HE'S THE ONLY DILF IVE EVER ACTUALLY AGREED WAS HOT WYM I CAN'T HAVE HIM??? well I'm still really happy about his arc over the series probably one of my favorite character growths.
Eli my guy got his growth spurt!!! As an 18 year old who is still 5'0", I'm happy but envious for him
So I went into this movie without watching any trailers or promo, but I doubt anything could have prepared me for the existence of mpreg. In fact, I wasn't going to document my reactions until I saw that.
NAMURA!!!!!!!!! MY BELOVED!!!!!! I CAN STILL THIRST FOR YOU WITHOUT GUILT
The coach teacher just called the kids zoomers so I have to dock one point from my final rating just because of that. Unforgivable
Those husky animation models suck lmao
Oh fuck the titans got power ranger zords!!
God why did they include the mpreg??? This movie would have been perfect without it.... After that plot point being revisited only one time I'm already beyond done with it
Like it's bringing me back to the v*ltron days where they're was a suspiciously high amount of klance omegaverse and mpreg fics and art created and it physically hurts because Steve and Keith's voice actor is the same person meaning this is especially cursed to me since I was unfortunately in the v*ltron fandom and remember all of that
But like on another note, how old are these characters again??? I haven't checked any wikis because of spoilers but is Steve an adult??? I know aja might be technically a lot older than 18 because alien but is whatever age she is equivalent to an adult as far as emotionally and physically in Akaridion development??? IS THIS A TEEN (M)PREGNANCY IN A KIDS SHOW????
Like bruh I saw a singular post on here before going into the movie that was like "rott spoilers without context" and there was a pregnant belly but I was absolutely not expecting the actual context of it. I'll find the post after I finish and edit this post to tag the creator right here: @makoden
This entire post is just gonna be me ranting about mpreg huh
Anyway I love the whole roundtable allusion to the legends of king arthur (not the toa version but the one he's based off)
THERE'S 3 TO 5 BABIES????? I need to take a break bruh this is just too much
Alright I've taken a 30 minute break got some food and did some things i love (decompressed by tactile stimming with some owl plushies and watched some videos on my favorite owl, Garu. He lives in Japan with his owner and is a domesticated eagle owl who basically just acts like a sky cat. If anyone else needs some eye bleach, here is their YouTube channel)
Blinky and ARRRGHHH!!! saying their "if one of us doesn't make it" talk my god one of them is going to die I can see it and I will be utterly crushed. Jim can't lose another father figure and Toby can't lose his wingman again I will riot if this happens
On a similar but unrelated to the movie note, can we just talk about how toa started with Jim having 0 dads and (if strickler and blinky live to the end) will end with 2 dads? Like I just really feel happy for him that he has two dads who actually figured out how to put the past behind them to not have any infighting between them so that both of them are healthy father figures. Jim has already been through literal hell and back losing his actual humanity in the process so if he loses one of them, I'm going to be really pissed because at this point, this is just Jim torture porn. Y'all know how as SpongeBob SquarePants went on, the show just became Squidward torture porn? It's starting to feel that way for toa and I really hope they cut the shit by the ending
Jlaire is such a good ship but like I feel like it's too perfect they never disagree with each other
YESSSSSSS Someone finally doesn't treat toby like a fat waste of space who messes stuff up!!! I think out of all the characters that would have been most deserving of a rewrite, it's Toby. Sometimes I just feel he's only comic relief and any heartfelt moments he's had in the series was also born of stupidity (ie his flour baby project being unharmed was seen by him as divine intervention from his parents but was actually just Eli and Steve behind the scenes).
Ohhhhh yesssssss Archie's father!!! I was hoping I'd see him again because we got so little of him last
Ooooooooooh Asian trollmarket!!!!!
Oh never mind slavery trollmarket
Bruh titanic camelot
I feel like we're not seeing enough of the villains because I completely forgot about the power ranger zord things
NAMORA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY LAST CRUSHHHH
STRICKLER NO NOT YOU TOO PLEASE
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ONLY TWO CHARACTERS I SIMP FOR ON THIS SHOW DIED WITHIN FIVE MINUTES OF EACH OTHER
THAT WHOLE ASS RANT I WROTE IS COMING TRUE FUCK THIS MOVIE THIS SERIES IS JUST JIM TORTURE PORN
WAIT JIM'S SPERM DONOR INFO?
Oh thank God I don't want to know anything about that person
For the record, I call that man Jim's sperm donor because he has no business being called a father to him. All he did was donate some swimmers to the creation of him and give him abandonment issues
Oh another blind troll elder???? This fucker is just if vendel was a bad guy
Bruh I was grieving
PACIFIC RIM WITH GUN ROBOT VEX AND THE BELROCZORD? I've never seen that movie but I know the reference
Bruh Blinky doesn't read horoscopes? Does he realize conspiracy theories are just the manly version of horoscopes?
NO DON'T KILL VEX STOP KO-ING FOUND FAMILY MEMBERS
Oh thank God he's okay
NO NOT ARCHIE AND CHARLEMAGNE OH MY GOD
oh never mind they're just gonna coup de tat I believe in them :))
But I want to see him again
But I'm glad to see vex
Yay they're in arcadia!
But yeah I wondered why the trolls and Merlin didn't keep the whole "daylight doesn't hurt trolls" feature from the eternal night but now Guillermo del Toro I see you were playing the long con in that just to kill my girl Namora :(((
Oooooh I love the animation of the Narizord over Chihuahua!! It looks very good and realistic (if only they could have put some of that into those huskies from before smh)
Bruh the character designs of the arcane order are so good I want to be them
Nari making sure the Skraelzord doesn't crush the bus
DAMN DOUBLE HOMICIDE
Bruh I'm just glad we finally have an answer on why arcadia had everything going on as opposed to literally anywhere else!! I always found that as a weird coincidence for plot convince.
BRUH WERE BACK TO THE MPREG IM SO JEALOUS I FORGOT ABOUT THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF MY LOVELIES.
Oh that's real convenient that the ninth configuration meant all of them. Way to not decide which character gets more attention. Though it probably was a smart way to not have any infighting in the fandom between each character's stan group.
Bruh I just realized where is Barbera did they just ditch her on the Camelot ship???
And where are the other trolls that migrated at the end of trollhunters s3? They said something about new jersey but obviously Jim and the other main characters got on Camelot instead.... This feels like a plot hole
And we never learned the process of how changelings are made and bonded to humans and stuff. We just know it's super painful but I'm curious ffs!!!!
THE DONT THINK BECOME HERO SPEECH ALL SAID TOGETHER!!!
BRUH THEY REALLY HAD TO SHOW HIM GIVING BIRTH??????? WAS THAT AN ABSOLUTE MUST??????
Plus the main audience for this series is little children (the rating for the movie is literally TV-Y7) so even though my adult ass is not in the target audience, I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD MPREG AND ANAL BIRTH WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT THING TO 7 YEAR OLDS???? THIS IS A LITERAL FETISH HIDDEN IN KIDS CONTENT ITS ELSAGATE ALL OVER AGAIN Y'ALL šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Though it's probably hypocritical of me to think fetishes don't belong in kids tv when I've openly admitted to thirsting for strickler and namora
HUZZAH
NEW AMULET WAZ GOOD????
STAB THAT BITCH JIM
WAIT NO I SAID STAB NOT GET STABBED
Alright good job just missed the directions at first but you fixed it
SEVEN KIDS?????????
T O B Y ????????????
W A I T NO
N O
IS HE ACTUALLY
OH MY GOD THERE'S HOPE
NO THERE ISN'T
F U C K THIS SHIT THEY REALLY JUST HAD HIM TO BE BULLIED THEN KILLED
Y'ALL IM ACTUALLY CRYING THIS NEVER HAPPENS
I NEVER ACTUALLY GET SO EMOTIONAL OVER MEDIA THAT I CRY IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE AT THE END OF VOLTRON BUT AHHHHHHHH
W A I T
HE'S GONNA BE BROUGHT BACK?????
HOLD UP THEY'RE JUST GONNA BRING ALL THOSE DEAD PEOPLE BACK??????
WAIT IS HE
BLINKY CALLED HIM A SON
HOLD ON IS THIS GOING TO BE A CLIFFHANGER???????????
BRUH THEY REALLY JUST CAN'T END THE SERIES WITHOUT CLIFFHANGERS like there's always an open ending
TROLLHUNTER TOBY????? You know what forget the whole rants I had on how toby was written they just redeemed it all
And that's all! I'd rate it a 6.5/10 because it's definitely the weakest of all the sequels but still had amazing animation and some good plot points. It's just really hard to look over the bad stuff enough to rate it any higher.

Truth Seekers.
Tumblr media
...
*SPLASH!*
Tumblr media
BUAGH!
Tumblr media
Ngh...
*A short time passes, and after being knocked out, Makoto and Kyoko are awoken as a their faces are dowsed with buckets of water.
Tumblr media
Gh...h-huh?
*His head still sore from the blow from earlier, Makoto attempts to raise his hand and clutch his sore spot, only to find they are bound to his torso.
Tumblr media
Oh. good, youā€™re awake...
Tumblr media
Yeah it seems so...
Tumblr media
Um...what are you wearing?
*Maya, as well as Leona, Hunter and Koji, who are all gathered around them. All of them are wearing sunglasses and shoddy trench coats.
Tumblr media
This is my interrogation outfit, and I will use it to interrogate you.
Tumblr media
Well, Iā€™ll give you this...you ARE SLIGHTLY more intimidating like this that with your tacky hoodie on.
Tumblr media
Bruh, youā€™re not one to talk about tacky hoodies!
Tumblr media
Sheā€™s got a point.
Tumblr media
Kyoko! Donā€™t side with them!Ā 
Tumblr media
Ugh! What do you guys even want from us?
Tumblr media
Thatā€™s OUR line! Now answer our questions or we might have to get a little rough. Who sent you? Who gave you your orders?
Tumblr media
Howā€™d you find our place?
Tumblr media
What are you here for, to get back Fang Incā€™s files?
Tumblr media
When did you show up in our damn country!?
Tumblr media
Stop, STOP! Seriously, j-just stop.
Tumblr media
Hah! Itā€™s working!
Tumblr media
Uh, no Maya, itā€™s not...She looks more annoyed than intimidated.
Tumblr media
Correct me if Iā€™m wrong but...none of you seem have any idea what youā€™re doing.
Tumblr media
Yeah, sorry about that. To be honest, we donā€™t make it a habit to knock people out and tie them up for questioning. Itā€™s kinda savage.
Tumblr media
I see...well, to start with, it may be best to take things one step at a time.
Tumblr media
Putting multiple questions on us at once only overwhelms us, and if we succumb to the pressure, especially just after waking up, then you wonā€™t get anything out of us.
Tumblr media
I see...thatā€™s a good point.
Tumblr media
In that case, I gotta question. How do YOU know so much about interrogation and detainment?
Tumblr media
Because thatā€™s my job. Iā€™m a detective.
Tumblr media
Then you must be a high ranking member of the F.I.P.E...Makes sense theyā€™d send you in.
Tumblr media
Oh for the love of...
Tumblr media
Listen, I think you guys may be asking the wrong questions...
Tumblr media
And I think YOU need to understand the position youā€™re in...!
*Maya gets right in Makotoā€™s face.
Tumblr media
Word of warning, weā€™re NOT opposed to torturing the info out of you. Right guys?
Tumblr media
Errgh...
Tumblr media
Leona!
Tumblr media
Um...guys?
Tumblr media
I dunno Maya, like Koji said, this isnā€™t really our turf...
Tumblr media
Alright then! Then letā€™s get straight to the point.
Tumblr media
Guys?
Tumblr media
Are you guys part of this eastern terrorist organization...and if so, what is Feng planning.
Tumblr media
Listen to me. If this ā€œeastern terrorist organizationā€ is the same one that I think youā€™re talking about, then know that they are our enemies. We came to this country to get away from them.
Tumblr media
And we have no association with them.
Tumblr media
But you came here to get back something that we stole from you, thatā€™s what you said earlier. So if not the files we stole from the gallery, what?
Tumblr media
We have no idea you stole files from the gallery!
Tumblr media
Yeah, like I believe that.
Tumblr media
Oh come on! Whatā€™s the point of interrogation if you donā€™t listen to-!
Tumblr media
GUYS!
*Kouji, trying to grab everyoneā€™s attention, shouts.
Tumblr media
Woah! Wazzup dude?
Tumblr media
I think we got company...!
*CRASH!*
Tumblr media
INCOMING ANGRY BRITISH DUDE!
Tumblr media
*SCREAAAM!*
Tumblr media
Give us back our friends!
Tumblr media
HRGH!
Tumblr media
GAAGH!
*Hina, Byakuya, Hiro and Kuripa rush into the room after the far latter kicks down the door again. Hina immediately lunges in, and is countered by Hunter, who gets her in a chokehold and onto the floor.
Tumblr media
HRGH!
*SLAM!*
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!!!
*Leona tries to dart to the side, but Kuripa jumps at her and smashes her into the ground. He stands up, presses her to the ground with his foot, and holds the tip of his sword at her throat.
Tumblr media
UGH!
Tumblr media
GOTCHA!
Tumblr media
Donā€™t move!
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
Right back at yaā€™ pal!
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
Tch...!
*Hiro, armed with an electrical baton, rushes up towards Koji and traps him. Byakuya aims his gun at Maya, who grabs a gun of her own and points it at Makotoā€™s head, grabbing him by the neck with her arm. Each side squares off, all having hostages in one way.
Tumblr media
Iā€™m gonna ask you this ONE time...! Who...the fuck...ARE you guys!?
Tumblr media
Iā€™ll do you one better! Who the FUCK are YOU guys!?
Tumblr media
I asked first! Now answer before I blow baby boyā€™s brains out!
Tumblr media
Yeah, letā€™s do it! You kill him, Iā€™ll stab YOUR baby bitch!
Tumblr media
Iā€™d prefer NOT to get killed please?
Tumblr media
Yeah, me too, I donā€™t really wanna die!
Tumblr media
Listen! Nobody has to die! We can talk this out!
Tumblr media
Says the guy with the gun!
Tumblr media
SHE has a gun too!
Tumblr media
Yeah, and mine fires non-lethal rounds, look.
*BANG!*
Tumblr media
OW! WHAT THE FUCK, WHY ME!?
Tumblr media
Well I wasnā€™t going to shoot any of them, was I?
Tumblr media
Yeah, but why the fuck was I the target?
Tumblr media
Because I donā€™t like you.
Tumblr media
You know what, thatā€™s fair.
Tumblr media
I donā€™t care if your gun has fake rounds, mine has real oneā€™s, and I will gladly riddle all of you Organization Z jerks with bullets before I let you take us down!
Tumblr media
W-W-Wait, what did you say?
Tumblr media
Organization Z...?
Tumblr media
Thatā€™s what they said earlier too.
Tumblr media
You guys know about Organization Zetsubou...!?
Tumblr media
Ok, seriously, what the fuck is a Zetsubou?
Tumblr media
What the actual HELL is going on in here!?
Tumblr media
The shit is this!?
Tumblr media
WAGH! Four! Oliver! HELP!
Tumblr media
What is...!? Oh no...no no no...
Tumblr media
Uh...hello? Nice to meet you...
*Four and Oliver walk in carrying some groceries, and Four instantly spots Makoto and Kyoko tied to the chair.
Tumblr media
Maya! Did you KIDNAP these people!?
Tumblr media
Woah woah woah! Why is it MY fault!?
Tumblr media
Well, tying them up WAS your idea Maya, so if anyone kidnapped them, it wasĀ you.
Tumblr media
Fuck you! You guys helped!
Tumblr media
It was still your idea.
Tumblr media
Ugh! Four, these guys came to us!
Tumblr media
I-Iā€™ll give her that, we did basically walk into this.
Tumblr media
Yeah, that was my fault.
Tumblr media
HAH! In your face Hina!
Tumblr media
Dammit...
Tumblr media
Wait, what are you talking about?
Tumblr media
We took bets on whoā€™s fault it was that got them caught, and I just lost.
Tumblr media
Ouch bro, that sucks...I know the feel, Iā€™m not a good gambler.
Tumblr media
Thanks...
Tumblr media
Ok, Four, lemme put it like this. Whatā€™s more problematic? Kidnapping and interrogating trespassers, or letting them arrest us for Fang Inc.
Tumblr media
Kidnapping people Maya!
Tumblr media
Ok, listen, Iļæ½ļæ½ļæ½m sorry alright? But I was just worried! Besides, I personally donā€™t count Eastern Terrorists asĀ ā€œpeopleā€
Tumblr media
Huh...maybe youā€™re NOT so delirious.
Tumblr media
No Kurafto, sheā€™s just AS delirious as you are.
Tumblr media
Ok, ok, hold on a second! Everyone just...chill the F out.
Tumblr media
Iā€™ve got a question of my own here. What master do you people serve?
Tumblr media
ā€œWhat master do we serve?ā€ What, are we supposed to say Buddha or some shit!?
Tumblr media
May I turn that question back on you lot? You clearly seem to have some aggression towards both Fang Inc. and Zetsubou...
Tumblr media
So...you guys ARENā€™T with Zetsubou?
Tumblr media
What the FUCK is a ZETSUBOU!?
Tumblr media
Itā€™s what the Z in Organization Z stands for! Itā€™s "Despairā€ in our native language.
Tumblr media
And Iā€™m guessing YOU guys donā€™t work for Fang Inc. either, huh?
Tumblr media
No. We donā€™t. The fact that we met that day at the gallery was purely coincidence.
Tumblr media
Then why did you break into our cafƩ, and how did you find us?
Tumblr media
We tracked you from gun girls phone. Remember, you gave me your number.
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
Oh shit I did do that...
Tumblr media
And what weā€™re really here for is my wedding ring. You stole it at the gallery.
Tumblr media
Oh shit I did that too...
Tumblr media
W-Wait a sec though...! If you guys really arenā€™t with Fang Inc, and youā€™re not these...Zet-soo-bow guys, then who ARE you?
Tumblr media
Weā€™re the Future Foundation, man.
Tumblr media
!!!??
*Upon hearing Hiro mention the Future Foundation, Four hesitates.
Tumblr media
Maya. Untie them; Everyone let your hostages go!
Tumblr media
...
*Maya immediately pulls away from Makoto. Hunter also releases Hina.
Tumblr media
All of us do the same.
Tumblr media
...Yes maā€™am.
*Hiro releases Kouji, Kuripa helps Leona up, and Byakuya lowers his gun.
Tumblr media
*sigh* I apologize PROFUSELY on behalf of everyone here. Believe me, as zany as we can be at our worst, and despite our criminal records, weā€™re NOT bad people.
Tumblr media
Yeah. To be honest, Iā€™m starting to see that.
Tumblr media
But I know weā€™ve been passing them around a lot, but Iā€™ve got another question. If youā€™re not Zetsubou, then how do you know about them? As far as Iā€™m concerned, the group was only influential in Japan.
Tumblr media
Well, thatā€™s a funny story actually. See, you know how we stole some shit from the Fang Inc. gallery? I mean aside from your manā€™s wedding ring?
Tumblr media
What we stole were information sheets proving collaboration between Fang Inc. and Zetsubou...The people who are REALLY working with these Zetsubou guys are the people from that company.
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
...I would like to see these documents, if possible.
Tumblr media
Hold on, we mayā€™ve let you go, but we donā€™t trust you enough to-
Tumblr media
Fine.
Tumblr media
Four!
Tumblr media
Iā€™ll show you, but only you. Like Maya said, I donā€™t completely trust you, but...
Tumblr media
Future Foundation WERE mentioned on those files as Zā€™s primary threat, so...The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Tumblr media
Thank you. I appreciate your maturity.
Tumblr media
Then...what do the rest of us do?
Tumblr media
You can start by taking these people upstairs and getting them a damn drink! Itā€™s the least you can do after all the shit you put them through.
*Maya and Kouji untie Kyoko and Makoto, and Kyoko prepares to go speak with Four.
Tumblr media
Donā€™t worry about me. Iā€™ll be back in a bit.
Tumblr media
Stay safe Kyoko.
*She exaunts, and after dropping her gun, Maya turns to Makoto apologetically.
Iā€™m...sorry...Looks like that fancy chairwoman stuff you were spouting earlier was true...
Tumblr media
No worries.
Tumblr media
Man, you forgave me pretty easily...!
Tumblr media
Force of habit...

Isekai'd to MCU
Marvel x GN!reader
Summary:Basically got suck into marvel while watching it and now you have to join there adventures and save everyone from dying while causing chaos (this is a headcannon typa shit but yeh)
Tumblr media
You were rewatching "Thor: The Dark World," when out of nowhere a blue portal popped up and sucked you in.
When you got out of the portal, you suddenly met a startled QUEEN of Asgardian, Frigga šŸ‘ø
You thought you were high on drugs because this shit seems too real šŸ’€
And then she started to speak šŸ‘šŸ‘„šŸ‘
Ofc you don't believe any of the shit that's happening so your treating this like a lucid dreamšŸ§šā€ā™€ļøāœØ
And told her that it's too bad that she's gonna die if she continues to where she is goingšŸ˜­šŸ’€
She got startled but for some REASON she considered your opinion šŸ¤”
Then for some reason, you are now following her. You also told her there would be prisoners that would go to where we were going.
And then you see Jane. You kind of did not care for her that much cuz like she just gonna break up with Thor so what's the point šŸ¤·
Knowing she's from earth, she realizes your clothing that's covered in cheetoh crumbs and has holes on it
(You did not took a bath that day)
She assumed you were homeless šŸ¤¾ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤¾ā€ā™€ļø
But she know damn well you're from earth
And then this is were you realized that this ain't lucid dreaming anymore šŸ˜€
We are there literally witnessing this and now you're shitting yourself knowing the outcomes of this šŸ˜­šŸ’€
So you started panicking
You can already sensed the monsters
But ofc because of what you said, everything went well
Frigga saw it coming and no one died šŸ§šāœØ
BUT-
When you thought everything was over, nah bestie it ain't. You need to accompany Thor, his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, and his brother Loki šŸ•ŗšŸ’ƒ
At first you were against this and saying you wanna get tf outta here and go back to earth šŸŒŽ
But they said you kind of broke a law and that is by trespassing Asgard
And you defend yourself by saying that you came here by force
But they still say that you broke the law
And damn we thought Asgard's justice system ain't corrupt
But now you only left with 2 decisions that is you either die or go with Thor which gives you 10% chance of living šŸ˜ƒ
Welp were not suicidal here so you took the 10% chance. It's better than nothing
You went to prison to get Loki then also met with some girl and three guys (I forgot there names)
And honestly you're kind of pissed at them
Yeah I know there anger to Loki is justified but yall fuckers don't know that this asshole was TORTURED by a big grape guy šŸ˜šŸ¤š
Give him a break-
So anyway you got to the ship and while the brothers are quarreling Jane suddenly passed out
And you don't know what to do so you kind of just poke her with your foot to check if she alive i-šŸ˜ƒšŸ’€
But you got worried and told Thor about her situation
Ofc Loki made some sarcastic comments along the way
And while all of that is happening you were scared af
Watching them at screen looks funny but BEING there is freaking terrifying
And honestly you wanna faint rn
But we got to the speedboat that can fly vehicle
It seems so cool at first BUT then this asshole started taking shit dangerously
Then yall landed and you sprained or dislocated a bone or something in your body
And it hurts a lot, and now you're crying on how it hurts
Loki seemed to realized your pain but that asshole did nothing to help you šŸ˜šŸ¤š
While you were there enduring your pain
Dark elves went and are now there just fighting them while talking
This seems intense now that you're seeing this in person and you are terrified
But Thor protected you šŸ§š
Then suddenly an explosion happen, you got affected a bit but it was only your arm that got affected
Then you see Loki and Jane
And you're pissed off
Because why the fuck is he protecting someone that's just gonna dump his brother in the end
You know he doesn't know that but like bruh what šŸ˜’šŸ˜
So now you're there hurting alot while this bitch Jane only leave with a scar on her face but then again she would get cancer so-
Welp now your witnessing this brother to brother scene you know Loki is gonna survive this
And bro there dragging this scene for for what felt like 4 to 5 business days and your hurting there
And you had enough of it and just said
"My God get that shit over that asshole is just gonna survive that shit if anything his probably on your palace by now or something"šŸ˜’
You shouted and everyone was surprised they didn't expect you to be pissed
But everything is over now and Thor got dumped by JanešŸ˜šā˜ŗ
And turns out you were right he was there sitting on the throne
You found out Frigga and Odin retired and leaving everything to there sons (I changed the storyline cuz Frigga survived)
Well while there Frigga said she wanted to congratulate you for helping them
But you don't care anymore cause you were fucking hurting
Then you *faint*
Then you woke up and you observe your surroundings and it appears your in an ER
And you see Loki on the side of the bed
Which is surprising considering his like the least person you expect to accompany you
But apparently Frigga forced him to accompany you since Thor couldn't because he was busy sulking about Jane
While you were there you suddenly felt something vibrate
And to your surprise it was your phone
You honestly didn't expect your phone to be there
And the fact that it is still working after all the shit you been through is a miracle āœØ šŸ˜­
Well you were there chilling in the ER
And then you got worried bcuz Healthcare in US ain't free so now your mentally having a breakdown for the hospital bill
But fortunately your hospital bill is now covered by Asgard āœØ
And now everything is fine and you go live your life in this universe šŸš¶ā€ā™€ļø šŸš¶ā€ā™‚ļø
BUT-
When you step outside the hospital suddenly black cars are now surrounding
Like you have 5 stars on GTA or something šŸ¤š
šŸ‘šŸ‘„šŸ‘šŸ¤š
Then you see motherfucking āœØNick FuryāœØ
At first they were hostile at you
And you were scared af cuz your gonn be hatecrime for being an immigrant to another world
But they escorted and on your way to the Avengers Tower
Nick Fury explained that they have to take you seriously bcuz WHAT
A bitch from another universe and is now on Earth
Welp you went your way to the Tower and you saw the Avengers
Sorry I would probs make this a part 2 but here hope yall like this crack ass fic I made while I'm recovering from a car accident thabk hod my fingers still work or else I would be like Dr strange but lemme know if yall want a part 2

Chapter Seven: Wait, you have a basement?
Summary: Y/n and Tendou are deeply in love. Living on the other side of Tokyo now, the Monsters are still up to their old shit. They even opened a few businesses for Tax reasons. Even though itā€™s been almost three years later, Y/n still has never been able to understand how they have avoided the law several times. When Tendouā€™s Mother reappears in his life, Y/n is confused as Tendou claimed she is dead. Finding out Tendou is being forced to take over the family business by his Mother, she soon learns the truth behind Tendouā€™s reason he never gets in legal trouble is his family business. His mother is quick to decline Y/n as his future wife and tries to set up Tendou with someone she sees more fit. What will happen to Y/n and Tendou? What will happen to Tendouā€™s ā€œfamily businessā€? What does this mean for the future of the Monsters?

Third Person PovĀ 
ā€œAlright, take him to the basement.ā€ Tendou ordered.Ā 
ā€œWait, you have a basement?ā€ Y/n asked.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s not something you want to see Paradise.ā€ He said as he kissed your forehead.Ā 
Matsukawa tossed the man over his shoulder and walked inside. The others followed him inside.Ā 
Y/n looked around the newly discovered basement for her. Weapons of all sorts were around the room. She watched as the men opened up a room. Inside the room was just a chair. Matsukawa tossed the man down as he began to use the leather restraints on the chair to hold him down.Ā 
ā€œIs this room what I think itā€™s for Satori?ā€ She asked.Ā 
ā€œBlood stains like these donā€™t create themselves babe.ā€ Matsukawa spoke up first.Ā 
After the man was secure in the chair they locked the room and headed up stairs. The members you were with were now in the living room with kenma on the couch asleep. The others sat down around the room as well.Ā 
ā€œSo whoā€™s going to torture the fuck for information? Matsukawa has to sit this one out.ā€ Tendou said.Ā 
ā€œWait why?ā€ He asked.Ā 
ā€œCause we have some men to hunt down with mad.ā€Ā 
ā€œAnd me.ā€ Terushima said.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ll do it.ā€ Suna spoke up. ā€œHe hurt my best friend, Iā€™ll give him hell, donā€™t worry.ā€ He added with a sadistic smile.Ā 
ā€œI will too, as long as Y/n watches Kenma.ā€ Shirabu said.Ā 
ā€œHell no, Maki will watch Kenma. I am helping too.ā€ Tendou gave y/n a surprised look.Ā 
ā€œDamn alright, thats fucking hot.ā€ Tendou said.Ā 
ā€œDo I get a say?ā€ Hanamaki asked.Ā 
ā€œNope.ā€ Y/n said as she began to leave the room. ā€œLetā€™s go wake him the fuck up.ā€Ā 
ā€œAlright Monsters, letā€™s go find the other fucks.ā€ Tendou said as he left with the other three.Ā 
The three went back down to the basement as the man still was unconscious.Ā 
"Perfect. We need to strip him and I didn't want him awake." Shirabu said.Ā 
"Even the boxers?" Suna asked.Ā 
ā€œNo leave those on." Y/n and Suna undid the foot holds to pull his pants down quickly. Redoing them back up they undid both arms and pulled his jacket and shirt off.Ā Ā 
Shirabu was out if the room grabbing some materials as he came back inside.Ā 
"This should be enough." He brought in a moving tray table with him with everything on top.Ā 
"Should we dump water or slap him awake?" Suna asked.Ā 
"I got a better idea." The two men turned to look at y/n as she was holding bolt cutter in her hand. She smiled up at them sadistically as they both stepped back for her to be able to get to him.Ā 
She placed the bolt cutters on either side of his large tow on his left foot.Ā 
The sound echoed through the room as she used her strength to cut fully through. The man was soon woken up in a panic. Y/n stood up, now had some blood splattered on her face. Shirabu bent down to handle the wound to make it so he wouldn't bleed out before they got what they wanted.Ā Ā 
"WHO ARE YOU WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME?" He began trying to stand up in his chair.Ā 
"Oh shut the fuck up. I know you were the one that stabbed our friend so now you are going to tell us what we want to know." Suna said.Ā 
"Please I know nothing!"Ā 
"Shut the fuck up." Y/n spat at him. Suna pulled a small table from the arm of the chair and placed the man's hand on it. Suna pulled out a metal clamp as he began to screen it tight on the table. Placing the man's middle finger in it and he tightened till the man screamed. Suna stopped to look at the blood starting to form underneath the metal hold.Ā 
"We are going to ask you some questions, and every time we feel you are hiding something, we break one finger with our hammer here." Y/n said as she showed off the hammer.Ā 
"Why Kenma?" Suna asked before anyone could say another word.Ā 
"I don't! He was just alone, that's why I went for him!" Suna grabbed another hammer of the tray and smashed the hammer down quickly on his pinky finger. The man let you a horrific scream.Ā 
"As a professional liar, I know when a mother fucker is lying. So tell me the fucking truth unless you want more smashed fingers, okay?" Suna said with his sadistic smile.Ā 
"Our boss, he said he was the weakest guy."Ā 
"Who the fucks your boss?!" Y/n yelled in his face.Ā 
"I-I don't know." She slammed the hammer head down on his pointer finger.Ā Ā 
"I SAID THE FUCK IS YOUR BOSS ASSHOLE!" She screamed.Ā 
"I CAN'T TELL YOU!" He screamed as tears formed in his eyes.Ā 
"He seems pretty weak, must be a low level of some type." Shirabu said as the other two nodded in agreement.Ā 
"Pass me the bolt cutters." Y/n said as she squared on the floor. Shirabu passed them over as she bent down to his toes again. Lining them up he yelled before she could do anything more.Ā 
"FINE OKAY!! ILL TELL YOU I HAVE A FAMILY! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Y/n slammed them shut, cutting off two little toes in the process. He let out another scream. She stood up facing him.Ā 
"Then tell us fuck head." She said.Ā 
"He runs the other side of the town's Yakuza. They moved here recently and have been trying to take out your side for full control here."
"Who gave you the orders then?" Y/n asked.Ā 
"Some cop!"Ā 
"Oh really? What's his name?" She asked.Ā 
"Sawamura. He works at the Tokyo police department."
"Perfect. That's all we needed to know." She said.Ā 
"So you will let me go now?" He asked with a hint of excitement in his tone.Ā 
"He's seen our faces." Shirabu said back to the other two.Ā 
"Guess we will have to kill him then huh?" Suna said with a sadistic laugh as the other two smirked at one another.Ā

I come for the interaction and the food | Miya Osamu
Category: crack, fluff
2k words; pseudo-reddit thread of Onigiri Miya
Tumblr media
The owner of Onigiri Miya
Yo dudes. So my friend was raving about the onigiri shop for ages, and she was so damn relentless that I gave in. And I like onigiri in the first place, especially negitoro, so I went (is this TMI?). Anyway I was like???? So damn shook when I went in because the owner is like???? Damn??? He's so hot and I am simping for him, and the female population in the shop was as well like hearts were flying out of their eyes. I'm going to go there every day and ugh I know itā€™s cheesy and clichĆ© but I hope he notices me or something like that DONā€™T JUDGE Iā€™M LONELY OKAY??
Comments [Anon]: I KNOW RIGHT LIKE EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH HIM AND HIS ONIGIRI UGH FOOD FOR THE EYES AS WELL AS THE STOMACH
[Anon]: Yā€™all are simping for a real person and I just have to say: LMAO ME TOO UGH HEā€™S JUST REALLY HOT AND PATIENT AND HIS VOICE IS SO NICEĀ Ā 
[Anon]: YASSS HE REALLY IS AND HE ALWAYS COMES UP WITH NEW MENUS AND LETS SOME OF US TRY SAMPLES BUT ITā€™S ALWAYS. AMAZING. HEā€™S AN ONIGIRI GOD, I TELL YOU.
ā†’ Continue thread
[Anon]: Um, OP? I don't know how to tell you this butā€¦ He has a girlfriendā€¦ like a really cute girlfriend who heā€™s been dating for years now.
[Anon]: Say what?
[Anon]: Hey what. What. I didnā€™t know this. Iā€™ve been visiting his shop for like 3 months and I didnā€™t know this. What.Ā 
[OP]: Oh. Great. My romance has died even before it started. ;^;
[Anon]: Well you can join us obsessing over their relationship! She visits a lot and theyā€™re cute all the damn time so frequent customers made a small online group to share episodes.Ā 
ā†’ Continue thread
I just saw Hime and wow, damn
So I went to OM todayā€”because wow itā€™s so delicious please open a second shop MyaSamuā€”and my eyes were blessed because WHO DID I SEE?? YEP, IT WAS HIME.Ā 
Like yā€™all know how he calls her Hime as a nickname, which is so [censored] cute, and SHE LIVES UP TO THE NAME. Thereā€™s like, a graceful aura around her and itā€™s sort of blinding? As soon as you see her, itā€™s like ā€œAh, yep. Thatā€™s her. No one else can be called Hime other than her.ā€Ā 
AND SHE GOT SO FLUSTERED WHEN I CALLED HER HIME BY ACCIDENT!! It just literally slipped out because Iā€™m a [censored] idiot like that and she turned so red! And started hitting MyaSamu out of embarrassment! But her hits didnā€™t even look that painful and he was smiling so happily. My eyes were blessed that day.
Comments [Anon]: Oh my god youā€™re so lucky, I want to see him smileā€¦ I mean, he does, but apparently he smiles differently when heā€™s with Hime and I know that if I see that, my day will instantly become better.
[Anon]: Oh dude, you are not wrong. He somehow becomes more radiant. Just. How?
[Anon]: Imagine being that cute and beautiful together. What a power couple.
[Anon]: You know what happened once? I was really down while I was eating there because I got a bad grade, and she came over to talk to me!! Because apparently I looked way too sad and she was worried about me! UGH Iā€™M FALLING FOR YOU HOW ARE YOU THIS KIND?! ARE YOU AN ACTUAL ANGEL?
[Anon]: This just confirmed, Hime was never human. She is the epitome of angelic grace here to save us and MyaSamu is so blessed for being with her.
Yā€™all are weird as [censored], why do you do this [censored]
Why are you guys obsessing over real people like that? I would be creeped out if I knew anyone does this, you guys are invading their privacy. Get a life and stop being so damn disturbing.
Comments [Anon]: ??? He knows about this. He literally checks up on this site a couple of times per week. He explicitly said to many customers ā€œThanks for liking me and my girlfriend so much. You guys are funny.ā€ The [censored] are you on?
[Anon]: I asked Hime once before and she said itā€™s fine as well unless weā€™re stalking them or some [censored] like that. And we donā€™t. Weā€™re just exchanging stories on our interactions with them inside the shop and how cute they are. He said it actually helps with his revenues and sales.Ā 
[Anon]: Literally. Theyā€™re just really cute. Like you look at them and boom, you have diabetes, no exceptions.
[Anon]: I think he said like half of his new customers came after seeing this thread, so back off
Ignore that person, GUESS WHO I SAW
Yā€™all might be thinking Hime, and yes, I did see her as well. BUT I ALSO SAW ATSUMU! He was hanging with Hime and teasing her so much. Then MyaSamu got annoyed and they nearly brawled there lmao perfect representation of siblings.
Hime tried to stop them and when they kept on fighting, she slapped them both on the back and shouted for them to cool it. MyaSamu I guessed since theyā€™re going out, but she tamed Atsumu. Atsumu. My heart thumped because she was so awesome. Like, youā€™re cool, kind, sweet, amazingly pretty and on top of that, badass as well? Lady, you should be designated as a national treasure.
Comments [Anon]: Bruh. I live super close to OM. I go there practically every week. Iā€™ve filled out the coupon like, 5 times. Iā€™ve never met Hime once. AND YOUā€™RE TELLING ME THAT YOU SAW HIME AS WELL AS ATSUMU???? WHY HAVE THE GODS FORSAKEN ME??
[Anon]: How cool was she? I canā€™t imagine Atsumu folding to anyone thatā€™s not his parents.
[Anon]: I feel like he would be rude to his own parents tho lol
[Anon]: True true
[OP]: She was like, the epitome of cool. Based on the sound of the slap I would have been rolling on the floor while crying in pain but they kind of seem used to it or something? She just glowered at them and they immediately shut up. I wonder if she was like that when they started dating as well.
[Anon]: I find it funny that everyone is focusing on Hime while Miya Atsumu, division 1 volleyball player and one of the members of Japanā€™s national team, is right there.
[Anon]: Atsumu pales in comparison to Hime. This is a fact.
[Samu]: True
[Anon]: ??? The [censored]? Are my eyes working? Is thatā€¦ actually Osamu? As in like, the Osamu that weā€™re talking about? Like the owner of OM?
[Samu]: Yes
[Anon]: Okay then bye Iā€™m never coming here ever again. Goodbye yā€™all and watch me die haha [censored]
Friend of Samu and ā€œHimeā€
I canā€™t really believe this actually exists but itā€™s really funny and kinda cringey to see everyone fawn over Osamu and ā€œHimeā€ like this. I've been their friend since high school and let me give you a fact: ā€œHimeā€ā€™s nickname during her time in school was Janus like the two faced God. Because sheā€™s really nice all the time but once she gets angry, itā€™s over for everyone. Everyone.Ā 
So what do yā€™all do here, just share stories?
Comments [Anon]: Holy [censored] what. What. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THEM?? WHAT WERE THEY LIKE IN SCHOOL? WERE THEY STILL CUTE AND SWEET LIKE THE BEST BRAND OF CHOCOLATE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD????
[Anon]: YEAH LIKE WHITE CHOCOLATE
[Anon]: Iā€™m sorry, but if you think white ā€œchocolateā€ is good then please keep that [censored] to yourself because that [censored] embarrassing.
[Anon]: White chocolate is good!
[Anon]: Youā€™re an embarrassment to humankind.
ā†’ Continue thread
[Anon]: As the person on the above thread has said, could you share little stories of how they were like in school? If theyā€™re fine with it?
[OP]: Hmmā€¦ well Iā€™ll ask first.Ā 
I got the permission
Hm, I donā€™t really know what to say about their relationship though. I was friends with them for a long while but it wasnā€™t really surprising when they started dating. Osamuā€™s liked her for years. I heard they were childhood friends and were stuck at the hip with Atsumu as well, but she was closer to Osamu. Though thatā€™s kind of a given, what with Atsumuā€™s [censored] personality.
She was one of the school council members and really popular as well. Always eager to help people, has a smile on her face and a complete disaster. Sheā€™s so damn clumsy and uncoordinated that I once saw her trip on air. On air. How. Sheā€™s terrible at cooking as well, like apocalyptic level. She somehow managed to burn rice in home economics class even with three other people keeping an eye on her. It was actually pretty impressive.
Anyway, Osamu was absolutely smitten with her and everyone with eyes or common sense could see it. Except forā€¦ you guessed it, her. He would literally be tripping over himself to help her and we were all like ā€œboy, please be more subtle you are killing usā€. Especially Atsumu since he had to deal with that even at home because theyā€™re neighbours. I once took a photo of him making the most disgusted and annoyed face, but it got deleted when I changed my phone. An international loss.
Where was I going with this? Oh right, how they went out. I gotta go to sleep so Iā€™ll post that later.
Comments [Anon]: ???? YOUā€™RE GOING TO LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THAT??? HOW ARE YOU SO CRUEL THIS ISNā€™T FAIR I CANā€™T GO TO SLEEP BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
[Anon]: EXCUSE ME ARE YOU SKILLED IN TORTURE BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY DYING YOU CANā€™T JUST BOUNCE AFTER TELLING US THAT. COME BACK!!!!
[Anon]: Dudes I have a good idea. Letā€™s spam them with comments.
[Anon]: Oh ho, smart, smart.Ā 
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
[Anon]: Dude
LOAD MORE
Damn you guys are persistent
Chill, I need my sleep as well.Ā 
Alright, this was a while ago so some facts might be inaccurate. Also she forbade anyone from commenting on it during school. Itā€™s fine now though, and thankfully I was sitting next to them when it happened.
So Osamu always brings bentos and makes hers as well. He used to make them for Atsumu as well (unwillingly but had to since he complained about it so much) but stopped after like, the second time because they got into a fight. I think the reason was that Atsumu was whining too much about how he doesnā€™t like some of the side-dishes and Osamu snapped. That was a fun day.
We were eating in the classroom and enjoying our lunch when she blurted out something like ā€œOsamu, youā€™re so good at cooking! Youā€™d be a great chef. Your wife would want to let you cook for the entire time youā€™re together!ā€ Which was fine because everyone knows heā€™s good at cooking. I think thatā€™s what you guys call a gap moe or something, I dunno.
And Osamu just stared at her. You know what moment when you just feel something bad is going to happen? Like that chill in your back? Yeah, it was that. I sensed that from Osamu. Atsumu probably got it as well because our eyes locked and the red alarm of ā€œSTOP HIMā€ flashed in front of both our eyes.
But before we could interrupt, Osamu just smiled and said ā€œI can cook for you like that if you want.ā€ And I [censored] you not, everyone went quiet. We were staring at him like ā€œ??? Did you just propose before even asking her out on a date?ā€ And her face, oh god I didnā€™t know her face could be that red or that her eyes could be so big. She was literally frozen while trying to eat like the rest of us watching them.
When she stayed frozen, it was like there was an error message saying ā€œ[Name].exe has stopped working. What the [censored] did you do.ā€ above her head. Osamu eventually moved and dragged her out of the classroom. And they didnā€™t come back until the bell rang for the next class.
I donā€™t know what happened during the talk, but I guess he finally confessed because they were holding hands when they came back.Ā 
Anyway, yeah. Thatā€™s the story of how they went out. I have to sleep again so bye.

Turns out, a little time apart, the spirit of Christmas, and an accidental nap is the perfect cocktail for falling in love with your best friend.ā€”friends to lovers!au ā‡¢ a/n hello & merry christmas! here is a gift for you all on this very merry day. also, thank you for 1,000 followers! that in itself is one of the best presents i could ask for. thank you for all your kindness & support on my blog & for following me in the first place! it truly means so much to me. i hope you enjoy reading!Ā ā™„ļøŽ
Tumblr media
big tiddy jinnyšŸÆšŸ§øšŸŒŸšŸ–‡[now] Sorry! I just woke up
big tiddy jinnyšŸÆšŸ§øšŸŒŸšŸ–‡[now] Whats wrong fool
big tiddy jinnyšŸÆšŸ§øšŸŒŸšŸ–‡[now] Did u rlly think 12 texts were gonna wake me up?šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø godt damn u on some WACK shit
You roll your eyes in time with each consecutive text that Hyunjin sends, waiting for the lock screen of your phone to blacken after reading them. Heā€™s about as useless as pedals on a wheelchair, you think, ignoring the texts and forcing the device into the snug back pocket of your jeans before transferring the last two excessively packed grocery bags into the trunk of your car with an exhausted huff. Christ, if the bagging lady put one more item in those bags,Ā sheĀ would be the one to blame for six cans of soup rolling about the parking lot.
The license plate rattles when you slam the trunk lid closed before hurrying around to the driverā€™s side and anxiously hopping inside to start blasting the heat. It is obnoxiously chilly for the first of September. Well, not really. Your body is just beginning to get used to the ungodly wrath of summerā€™s sweltering heat leaving you in a constant state of sweat and nausea for the past three months. Not that youā€™re complaining, of course. You nearly did somersaults of joy when the morning news reported a temperature of sixty-one degrees with some wind gusts and welcomed the beginning signs of autumn with open arms.
You would never admit to Mom who told yo uon the way out to change out of a tank top or at least wear a jacket, but yesā€” you are, in fact, cold. But now you have godsent warmth blowing from the vents and the seat warmer on its highest setting beginning to thaw away the goosebumps painted on your skin. Giving your arms one last rub, you lean up enough to retrieve your phone and open the conversation with Hyunjin.
[2:37 PM] YN:Ā please. smell my balls
[2:37 PM] YN:Ā nothings wrong btw. i was GOING to ask if u wanted any specific snacks for tn buttttt someone didnā€™t answer
[2:37 PM] YN:Ā and excuse u i called too. i may be an idiot but im not stupid
[2:38 PM] YN:Ā ik u would never hear a text when ur having wet dreams of yeji
You stop there with a smug smirk when the three dots on his side appear, knowing youā€™ve hit his funny bone with this one.
[2:38 PM] big tiddy jinnyšŸÆšŸ§øšŸŒŸšŸ–‡:Ā Bruh
[2:38 PM] big tiddy jinnyšŸÆšŸ§øšŸŒŸšŸ–‡ :Iā€™ve literally never have had a wet dream ab Yeji pls stop
You cannot fight your shit-eating grin, thumbs circling over the keyboard in thought as he apparently deletes whatever other text he was going to send when the three dots disappear.
[2:38 PM] YN:Ā mmhmmmm
[2:38 PM] YN:Ā because last time you slept over you werenā€™t whimpering her name in ur sleep
[2:38 PM] YN:Ā sureeeee
You decide to end your teasing there and continue once youā€™re home. It is starting to get late, after all, and Mom will begin to worry that the creepy employee always in aisle sixteen has abducted you. Plus, youā€™re cruel and like to watch Hyunjin suffer. Switching the ringer off, you throw your phone into the cupholder and drastically lower the heat and turn off the seat warmer. Itā€™s starting to feel like a sauna in here, and not in a fun way. Canā€™t understand how anyone enjoys hanging out in a sauna to begin with anyway, but to each their own, you guess.
In the five-minute drive it takes until you are pulling into the driveway, Hyunjin calls three times. He is incredibly peeved at your lack of a response to his distressed texts and still wound up from your text about Yeji. As if! Youā€™re already a clown not realizing his ever-growing affections for you, but to think he had a crush on Yeji? Youā€™re the whole damn circus!
By the time he calls a fifth time, now sat up on his elbow in bed and strumming an annoyed beat of his fingers at his thigh because he really just wants to yell at you for being the most annoying person alive (and maybe to hear your voice, too), you have brought in the last of the bags and look to Mom who has started to put the groceries away and expects you to half-heartedly do the same.
ā€œItā€™s Hyunjin. Heā€™s having an existential crisis because I havenā€™t answered his texts,ā€ you explain to her, unenthusiastically holding your phone as it vibrates against your palm. Half of you wants her to ask to finish putting everything away first just so you can torture him even longer. Alas, such extravagant wishes are denied, because when it comes to Hyunjin, your parents would undoubtedly throw you under the bus just to keep that boy happy. And so, just like any other time, Momā€™s undying love for Hyunjin has her dismissing you from the kitchen with a hearty laugh.
ā€œJesus Christ! What?ā€ You hiss, halfway up the stairs when you tap to answer his call on the last ring.
ā€œWow! Look who finallyĀ decided to answer!ā€ Hyunjin shouts back, the swooshĀ of his sheets once he finally falls back against his pillow again rustling all too loudly through the phone. ā€œI was driving,ā€ you spit, marching into your bedroom and collapsing against your bed, the same rustle of yourĀ blankets sounding loudly into his ear. ā€œThereā€™s a thing called the speaker, ___. Ever heard of it?ā€ He retorts, evidently shutting you up and he knows he won this round if your silence is anything to go by.
ā€œWhatever,ā€ you groan, using all your toe strength to kick the sneakers off your feet by their soles, ā€œwhat was so important that you couldnā€™t wait and had to call me five billion times?ā€
ā€œI had a question. And you hurt my feelings.ā€ Well, shit. You can practically hear and see his pout through the phone and your heart positively swells in your chest at how undeniably, unjustifiably cuteĀ he is. You sigh.
ā€œIā€™m sorry for making fun of you about Yeji. Iā€™m going to do it again but next time I promise I wonā€™t pull the wet dream card,ā€ you apologize frankly; because, in all honesty, it would be worse to say you are not going to do it again when you most certainly will. Bullying Hyunjin is fun, what can you say?
Hyunjin heaves an exasperated breath from his lungs because he knows there is no point in arguing with quite possibly the most sarcastic human he knows and thatā€™s the best form of an apology heā€™s going to get. Whatever. Heā€™ll make sure to wipe his morning snot and droll on your shirt in the morning. ā€œAnyway,ā€ he grumbles, in the background you hear Kkami bark from a few rooms over, ā€œI was going to ask if you wanted to come over my place instead? I know your parents probably want to see me and stuff but mine are out of town for the night so we can sleep in my bed until like three without Mom waking us up to force feed breakfast.ā€ You roll your eyes. Of courseĀ your parents want to see him.
ā€œPlus, Mom just put that grey comforter I know you really like on my bed so we can cuddle all night and watch stuff on YouTube,ā€ he quickly adds as a convincing afterthought. Heā€™s really got his sales pitch going on this one. Truth is, you have only slept in his bed with that stupidly soft blanket twice last winter break, but itā€™s still sweet that he remembers how much you loved it (aka how quickly you fell asleep and how grumpy you were being woken up because itā€™s just that darn cozy). Either way, you would never pass up an opportunity to snuggle up with Hyunjin in the comfort of his own bed with his citrusy, floral scent on the pillows luring you to sleep.
ā€œMy Mom is going to be heartbroken, Hyunjin,ā€ you tease, ā€œbut who cares. You had me sold at sleeping until three. Do you still want me to bring the snacks I got?ā€
ā€œOh, thank God. I love your Momā€™s cooking but I havenā€™t left bed all day and I really want to keep it that way. And yes, please. Iā€™ve been eating dry cereal for the past two hours.ā€
ā€œHyunjin, have you brushed your teeth yet?ā€
ā€œNo. Didnā€™t you just hear me? I said Iā€™ve been in bed all day. Eating cereal. When would I have brushed my teeth?ā€
ā€œYouā€™ve officially taken breakfast in bed to a whole new level, Jin. Iā€™ll see you in a few hours. Oh, and please, you have no concept of personal space so make sure you brush your teeth before I come over.ā€
ā€œYeah, yeah. Whatever. Love ya, bye,ā€ Hyunjin promptly hangs up, probably eager to get back to binging whatever drama heā€™s watching before you lecture him about his hygiene again. Not that it matters, anyway; chances are, it went in one ear and right out the other and youā€™re going to drag him out of bed later to brush his teeth.
Damn. You didnā€™t even get the chance to say love you back. Not that it matters.
It doesnā€™t, you quickly shut down the pesky thought that keeps you up at night and force it back into the storage part of your brain labeled ā€˜Deal with Later,ā€™ because, really, youā€™ll have to think about that later. Itā€™s not that you donā€™tĀ want to think about it yetā€¦ you just donā€™t have the timeĀ to stop and really figure out what your feelings toward Hyunjin actually are. Yeah. Thatā€™s it.
And now isnā€™t the time, you tell yourself, scooting up the mattress in order to bury your face in the pillows to suffocate the pounding throb in your head. Hyunjin is nothing special.
Well, no. Thatā€™s a lie. EverythingĀ about Hyunjin is special. Anyone with eyes, ears, even a nose can sense that. You had quickly found out just how wonderful he is when you met him freshman year of high school. At the time, he was everyoneā€™s sweetheart by the first day, but it just so happened his eyes were all on you.
He was obviously adorable, and every class you had together he always made a point to talk to you and returned your sarcasm with an impressive level of expertise. So, when it came to him asking you to the first homecoming, the answer was yesĀ without a second thought. But during the last slow dance of the night, with his hands gently holding your waist, he at last listened to his conscience and revealed that as much as he liked you, he truly did not want to date in high school. Or right then, at least. And honestly, you were glad; Hyunjin was quite possibly your favorite person you had met thus far, and you would have rather kept him as a friend than commit to a relationship the second month of school and risk losing him later down the road.
And boy, keep him as a friend you did. As it turned out, Hyunjin grew to be your truest, best friend in high school. Sure, you each had your own friend groups, but the two of you were the iconic pair everybody knew. But strictlyĀ platonic, despite the rumors and wishes that went around for the next four years. You like to think that neither of you ever developed feelings past what everyone feels toward their best friendā€” an innocent, wholesome sort of love.
But when had things changed? Hormones, as always, were definitely a big part of it. Hyunjin was always a cutie, but it wasnā€™t until he grew into his own skin and developed a newfound confidence did you start to see him differently. Until everyoneĀ saw him differently. Neither of you missed the way people stared him down, pupils dilating every time he ran his fingers through the black tufts of his hair, hearts aching for some sort of interaction. Or when you started attending parties, groups of girls would fling themselves at him in a blundering disarray, most of which he would turn down with a gentle dismissal that flew over their heads, too drunk to actually care.
But then there were times his dick made the decision for him, desperation and deprivation weighing in on him and youā€™d watch with a tight jaw as heā€™d leave the room with the pretty girl of the night skipping after him. You never realized it was only on those nights did you wind up in the back seat of Han Jisungā€™s car.
But even after the physical attraction sizzled out over time, things were not the same. Hyunjin wasnā€™t your hidden little treasure anymore. All eyes were set on him and it took more than a glass of water to swallow your jealousy. But why? WhyĀ were you so resentful all of a sudden?
Itā€™s hard to share Hwang Hyunjin, you decided. Once established that you were his main hoe and he was yours, it became a significant burden watching others try and get in between. Not that they did it with a malicious attempt to separate you, but it still hurt. Youā€™re selfish, and you admit itā€” Hyunjin, quite frankly, is the love of your life. Romantic or not, nothing could change your feelings toward him. It goes beyond his unfathomable beauty and spunky personality. Everything about him from his nose to his hands, to his distaste for onions and the way his face scrunches up when he lets out that giggle of his and even to the way he prefers to sleep against the wall but will forceĀ you to when youā€™re over so he can ā€œprotect you in case thereā€™s a monsterā€ all mount into this big, giant section of your heart set aside for Hyunjin.
So despite your efforts to ignore the pang of jealousy each time he would find a potential someoneĀ or the joy whenever heā€™d find his way back because ā€œthey kept wanting to hang out in the morning even though I said I donā€™t wake up before noon,ā€ this Hyunjin-shaped hole in your heart seems to only grow the longer you ignore it. Kind of like every medical condition out there: the longer you ignore it, the worse it gets. So, basically Hyunjin is your heart disease.
Yikes. Sounds a lot worse when you try putting it into words.
Well, he wonā€™t be your heart defect for long if he keeps ruining those pearly whites of his by only brushing once just before bed, you chuckle to yourself, rolling to your side at the sudden lack of oxygen between your face and the pillow. Thereā€™s a fleeting moment without thought when you unconsciously reach for your phone to check for any notifications before the fattest revelation of them all falls from the ceiling and smacks you right upside the face.
Shit. Looks like youā€™ve gone right ahead and totally dissected each and every fiber of your feelings for Hyunjin.
Blinking up at the ceiling, the weight of your emotions isnā€™t as heavy as you expected them to be. Instead, itā€™s more of a breath of fresh air, as if you have finally accepted the way things fell instead of ignoring them. Your feelings for Hyunjin have always been there. It just took a little effort to get them out.
Nevertheless, it is going to be difficult hanging out with him in a few hours with your exposed emotions still needing to be processed. EspeciallyĀ when he will pull you to his side and keep you nestled there the entire night. Rubbing your temples, you realize it will take some serious self-control to put everything on the back burner and just enjoy the time spent with Hyunjin.
Sighing, you check the time on your phone again. 3:21 and a text from Hyunjin asking if you could bring green tea.
ā€œMom!ā€ You yell, defeated. ā€œYou were right!ā€
Tumblr media
You used to think Hyunjin lived far away. Truthfully, heā€™s only fifteen minutes away if you go ten over the speed limit. But the only way to get to his house entails driving through the chaos of the mall and town center, which adds an extra ten minutes sitting through traffic no matter the time of day.
Now, Hyunjinā€™s college campus is two hours away. Well, technically five from you, since youā€™re almost three hours away in the opposite direction. So youā€™re lucky if you get to see him once a month with how hectic school becomes and how difficult it is trying to plan to come home the same weekend. Fortunately, it has worked out this semester. And while you shouldĀ spend this time with your families, they know how much you crave one anotherā€™s company as the weeks drag on. The twenty-two minutes it takes getting to each otherā€™s homes is totallyĀ worth it.
You expect Hyunjin to tell you to use the key hidden underneath the resin meditating frog statue in the front garden to unlock the front door when you text him you have arrived, but to your utmost surprise, heā€™s there, awake, to open the door for you.
ā€œStinky!ā€ You yell, dropping your things on the floor to burry yourself in his embrace, standing on your tippy toes to wrap your arms around his neck in order to reallyĀ get the full experience of hugging your favorite giant. ā€œPoopy!ā€ He shouts in return, long arms winding tightly around your waist and even going so far as to lift you up a few inches. God. Hate when he does that.
ā€œWhy are you up? I thought Iā€™d have to let myself in with you sleeping all your problems away,ā€ you ask, smiling gratefully when he bends down to pick up your bag. ā€œI realized Kkami hadnā€™t been out all day, so I came down to let him out and find actual food,ā€ Hyunjin explains as he makes way into the kitchen, opening the back door to let said dog back inside. ā€œAw, poor thing,ā€ you pout, squatting to scratch at Kkamiā€™s neck when he zooms faster than the speed of light to you, ā€œdoes that mean you brushed your teeth?ā€
ā€œI did, actually,ā€ Hyunjin snorts right back, scrunching his nose at you before turning away to open the fridge. Sitting on the floor with Kkami in your lap, you take the opportunity to finally get a good look at Hyunjin now that heā€™s distracted. And of course, he looks good. ReallyĀ good. Last time you saw him he still was a brunette, a look he rocked during the spring and summer months. This is the first time youā€™ve seen the freshly dyed black hair in person. Even though he alwaysĀ looks handsome, something about Hyunjin with black hair completely changes his aura. Brings back memories of how badly you wanted him in high school. You shiver at the thought.
And, to top it all off, how he manages to stay in such disgustingly good shape despite his atrocious eating habits never ceases to amaze you. Like, come on. The boy eats worse than a raccoon seven days out of the week, lives off boba, works out maybe five times a month, dances in his free time and still keeps his body in tiptop shape. God, you hate him. His pediatrician probably hates him, too. You even go as far as to sniffĀ the fries in your dining hall and you gain five pounds.
Even now, he looks unnecessarily regal in the baggy material of his sweatpants and flannel. And the warmth of his kitchenā€™s ambient lighting does nothing to suppress the heavy thumping of your heart. So casual is his dress, yet how immaculate he looks rummaging the cabinets for a snack.
ā€œAre you hungry?ā€ He asks, the familiar softness of his voice shaking you from your daze as he closes the refrigerator door after his unsuccessful search. Hereā€™s the thing: you really arenā€™t hungry, but Hyunjin clearly is, so if you say no then all he will be thinking about is food until you decide that you areĀ hungry. ā€œYeah,ā€ is what you say, nudging Kkami off your crossed legs to stand, ā€œI brought green tea and a few snacks, but we could order Chinese food or something. The place near Dunkinā€™ and the gas station makes bubble tea now, too.ā€
Hyunjinā€™s brows shoot up, flashing his boxy smile. ā€œIs it good?ā€
ā€œI mean, Iā€™ve only had their pork dumplings and mango tea before, and it was pretty good. I donā€™t know about their noodles or anything, though,ā€ you shrug, moving to stand beside him at the kitchen island. Distracted by Kkami trying to jump onto the sofa in the living room, you donā€™t look to Hyunjin until the poor dog is successful in doing so. Startled to find him already gazing down at you, your heart truly is not prepared for him to go right ahead and wrap his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your shoulder. Totally not freaking out or trying to overthink his need to constantly cling, you justify his actions by quickly recalling the time he said, ā€œMy head is too godtdamn big for my godtdamn body.ā€ More like his head is too heavy because instead of a brain itā€™s just a chunk of cement up there. He just needs to rest his head sometimes.
Yeah.
ā€œMm, I donā€™t know,ā€ Hyunjin hums, swaying your body with his to an unheard tune. By now, any coherent thought has dissipated into thin air and all you can do is melt against him. ā€œWhy?ā€ You manage.
ā€œā€™Cus if we order anything that means Iā€™ll have to get up and get it.ā€
ā€œOh my God, Hyunjin, really?ā€ You laugh. Your hands naturally glide to where his are linked at your stomach, pressing to interlock your fingers overtop his. ā€œIf thatā€™s the only reason for your uncertainty than IĀ could always come get it, idiot.ā€
ā€œNo! Itā€™s okay,ā€ Hyunjin says, jumping back before you can even process it, ā€œIā€™m not that hungry anyway.ā€
ā€œOhhh ā€˜kay,ā€ you laugh breathlessly, whiplashed by the whole thing. Good thing you arenā€™tĀ hungry, because when was the last time Hyunjin turned down food? Blinking at him precariously, he doesnā€™t seem to notice until one too many seconds of silence pass by.
ā€œCā€™mon,ā€ he demands excitedly, jumping back into reality, ā€œmy roommate told me to watch this anime called Soul EaterĀ but I wanted to watch it with you.ā€ Once again, before anything can even register past every single That Was Cuteā„¢ alarm ringing in your brain, Hyunjin is grabbing your bag and reaching for your hand, leading you out of the kitchen and upstairs.
You and Hyunjin binge aforementioned anime until he falls asleep first around 2 AM, only stopping to order food an hour in (heā€™s an indecisive man indeed), to get up to retrieve it, and to actually eat while catching up. For most of the night, you are able to forget the way his heartbeat against your back mirrored your own in the kitchen. But then, a little while after you fall asleep yourself, Hyunjin unconsciously shifts closer and you spend another hour blinking at his relaxed hand twitching against your abdomen, trying to keep the hurricane inside your heart at bay.
Tumblr media
You canā€™t make it home October. Hyunjin texted you to let you know he was going to be the third weekend in, and you tried desperately to manage your time in order to make it work. But one group project in chem lead to another paper in psych and before you knew it, your roommate was listening to you sob over a boy and curse out your classes.
September left you emotionally wrecked, to be totally honest. You hate Hyunjin and you hate the way he makes you feel and you especially hate how realizing you have a crush on him makes you unsure if everything he does is his way of hinting he feels the same or if heā€™s always been this touchy and you are just now recognizing it. So, missing a month of seeing your favorite human being essentially means missing another day of trying to decipher which actions of his go in the Friend list, and which go in the Questionable list. And that, my friend, is unacceptable.
You absolutely cannot notĀ go home this month. November is the calm before the storm (the storm being exams looming the second week of December), and while it would be beneficial maybeĀ staying on campus to continue preparing, you tell yourself going home will be just as helpful. Mental breaks, and stuff. Totally not just to see Hyunjin.
Either way, Hyunjin asks you if you would join him on the seventeenth to go to his second cousinā€™s christening and you absolutely cannot say no when you know how bored Hyunjin gets at family events when they arenā€™t for him. And so, fast forward to the third Sunday of November and you are ready to pass out ten minutes after entering the church.
ā€œIā€™m so happy for you two! I always knew you would last into college,ā€ one of Hyunjinā€™s aunts exclaims, pinching your cheeks but the only pinch you feel is that of your heart.
Clearly she is misinformed, or just prone to jumping to conclusions but yet again, you canā€™t really blame her with how couple-y you and Hyunjin are. Past the single tunnel vision of your gaze, you watch her smile falter when Hyunjin goes rigid beside you and oh my God this is the most embarrassing moment of my life, his whole family thinks weā€™re dating and here we are still stuck in each otherā€™s friendzā€”
ā€œIā€™m glad you think so, imo,ā€ Hyunjin suddenly picks up, sneaking an arm around to rest his hand on your hip, tugging you close, ā€œI donā€™t know what Iā€™ll do if she ever decides to leave me.ā€
Itā€™s nice to think that he means it, to imagine that you are here not as a tag-along but to join him in a family ceremony because you are partĀ of the family. The thought turns your blood to sugar and everything surrounding you falls apart; you listen to the rest of their conversation without processing it, the precise detailing in the marble pillars blurs into a mass of white, and you still feel his strong hold on the curve of your waist yet you are lost in the swam of possibilities.
How lovely it would be to live up to her assumption. To ā€˜last into collegeā€™ as a couple, not as best friends. To be able to call him yours even when youā€™re not together, to come home and kiss his lips, to sleep in his bed and it mean more than the laziness of blowing up the air mattress. At some point, he leads you into the third pew to sit beside his parents, and when you greet them with a hug all you can think about is them viewing you as more than their sonā€™s friend.
God, you hate it.
Youā€™re not as religious as Hyunjin and his family. But for the first time in years, you find yourself looking to the crucifix during the service and praying to whoever is up there to give you some strength and patience, because Lord do you need it.
Tumblr media
Hyunjin is a funny guy.
Or so he thinks.
Itā€™s not that he isnā€™tĀ funny. Itā€™s justā€” compared to your friends Minho or Changbin, he isnā€™t at the top of the list. When you think of Hyunjin, the first words that pop up are soft, loud, and dramatic.
Itā€™s not that he isnā€™t funny. Heā€™s just weird.
Insanely, ridiculously weird. For example, the time he called Jeongin a vitamin. Or the time he slapped half a bottle of sunscreen on his face. Or his random bouts of dancing at inappropriate moments. Just to name a few.
After the Baptism, Hyunjin acted like nothing happened. Didnā€™t even bring it up. Not even a joke. After the ceremony, you joined his family for a luncheon, which just involved the two of you being weird and making peculiar dancing videos on SnapChat with the swirly filter and complaining about school for a few hours until he drove you home. Obviously you stopped for food again on the way.
But that was it. Things went on as normal, and you returned to campus later that night and forced the whole experience to the back of your brain. It was officially grind season, and grind season meant studying for exams. No parties. No boys. And certainly no Hyunjin.
You both were home for winter break in the blink of an eye. And in normal Hyunjin style, he sort of vanished for the first week. Probably catching up on his strict sleeping schedule, you presumed, and accepted the fact that it was going to be a few days before you saw or even heard from him. The only anticipation you felt was wanting to give him his Christmas gift.
After what seems like an eternity away from Hyunjin, you get out of the shower on this fine Saturday before Christmas to find a slew of texts from him.

[5:54 PM] YN:Ā why do u want ice cream in winter tho. donā€™t u want like
[5:54 PM] YN:Ā hot chocolate or seomthing
Obviously not. Two hours later, Hyunjin arrives to pick you up for froyo despite all your efforts in convincing him maybe you could take the train to the city and watch a light show, or simply drive around and swoon over the rich people houses and their Christmas decorations. He didnā€™t budge. This leads you to your second question of the day: why is it that when youĀ threw on sweats for the occasion you called yourself a hag, but upon entering Hyunjinā€™s car you make a mental note of how hot he looks when heā€™s wearing the same exact thing? You groan at the thought. Itā€™s because itā€™s Hyunjin, of course.
ā€œBonjour, mademoiselle,ā€ he greets, flicking your forehead once you settle into the seat of his Subaru WRX because heā€™s a hotshot and likes to flex that he can drive a manual. Not reallyā€” the car is absolute garbage by now, having been his Dadā€™s old car (his Dad likes to flex too, apparently). However, Hyunjin takes care of it enough for it to seem five years old instead of ten, and, either way, watching him work the stick shift is unexplainably hot.
You swat his hand away. ā€œDrive, bitch,ā€ you huff, twisting to buckle yourself in. Once heā€™s reversed out of your driveway, you glance back to find him fighting against a devilish smirk.
ā€œSo,ā€ you start once he has navigated out of your neighborhood. His brow twitches up. ā€œAre you taking Hawaiian andĀ French at school? Youā€™ve been throwing quite a lot of languages at me recently.ā€ Hyunjin shoots you an unamused look. You return it with a wrinkle of your nose.
ā€œAnyway,ā€ he ignores your teasing, pausing to switch gears for whatever reason so he can make it through a yellow light, ā€œhow did your exams go?ā€
ā€œWell, you knowā€¦ā€ You trail off, looking to your window. It feels a lot later than eight oā€™clock. With it getting dark so early in the evening nowadays, it feels as if nighttime is always following you.
ā€œYou knowā€¦ what?ā€ Hyunjin interrupts your daze, concern laced in his voice. ā€œThey were fine. I passed everything, Iā€™m just worried about my major,ā€ you explain sadly, barely glancing at him before you are turning back to the window to stare at the moon. Must be nice being a moon. Just get to hang out in the sky watching everyone and being watched.
ā€œI mean, if you want to switch, nowā€™s the time. Better do it now before the second semester,ā€ Hyunjin advises, wise as always. Not really, but heā€™s right. ā€œWhat are you thinking of going into?ā€
Yikes. Heā€™s going to kill you.
ā€œNursing,ā€ you blurt.
ā€œOh my Lanta, ___, are you serious?ā€ He groans, stopping at a convenient red light presenting the perfect opportunity for him to smack his forehead on the wheel. Dramatic. ā€œHow are you gonna manage that? Youā€™ll practically be two years behind everyone else!ā€
ā€œI know,ā€ you sigh, throwing your head back on the headrest, ā€œthatā€™s the problem. Bio just isnā€™t doing it for me. I donā€™t think I can spend the rest of my life in a lab watching mitosis. I need something more rewarding, so theoretically nursing is a perfect start. I donā€™t know, though.ā€
ā€œWhy donā€™t you switch to interior design or something? We could get our own HGTV show, ___,ā€ he says, but you donā€™t meet his gaze when he glances over because beneath his words, you can sense some serious hopefulness. Interior design wouldĀ be cool, but youā€™ve never considered that as a career choice. You once helped your parents pick out everything when they redid a bathroom at home and that turned out great, but as a major?
ā€œI donā€™t know, man. Iā€™ll have to talk to my counselor about it, I guess,ā€ you shrug, pulling the hood of your sweatshirt over your head and tightening the drawstrings until the material covers your eyes, ā€œwhy canā€™t you audition to be a K-pop star or something? I could be your manager. Heck, even your makeup artist. Iā€™ve done your makeup before, remember?ā€
Hyunjin laughs, loud, and the sound sinks deep into your heart and makes you feel warm all over. Stress? Gone.
For the next few minutes or so, the ride is comfortably quiet. At some point, he turns on the radio and Mariah Careyā€™s ā€œAll I Want For Christmas Is Youā€ floods your brain and reminds you to look forward to exchanging Christmas gifts later. God, you hope he likes it. You really went out on the sentimental gifts this year.
Hood shielding your vision, you jump when his large hand suddenly comes to grab the top of your head, squeezing hard and you imagine heā€™s trying to press some hopefulness into your brain. ā€œHand on the penis stick, Hwang,ā€ you bark, blindly reaching for his own head across the way and pulling his ear when you do so. Good Lord, you hope no one can see into the car becauseā€¦ what.
Hyunjin lets out a giggle this time, reaching to pull you into a headlock and even though heā€™s got your head shoved up against his sturdy chest and goes on to give you a noogie, youā€™re stuck being all high and loopy on the sound of his happiness. And hey, itā€™s nice to know youā€™re the cause of it.
ā€œWeā€™re literally parked, idiot. If you had your hood down you wouldā€™ve realized,ā€ Hyunjin snickers, releasing you after watching you struggle for a few seconds. Jerking away from him, you swiftly pull back your hood. ā€œOh,ā€ you laugh, reading the flashy Yogo Factory sign above the building in front of you, ā€œyou couldā€™ve just told me instead of watching me bask in misery.ā€
Hyunjin suitably ignores your moaning and groaning by getting out of the car and standing in front of the car, illuminated by the headlights. Why? Why must he look so scrumptious in his black hoodie and grey sweatpants and four-year-old white Nike sneakers? He has no gosh darn right!
After fixing the mess he made of your hair, you at last join him outside the car, shooting him another glare and moving ahead of him to open the shopā€™s door without waiting for him. ā€œFrom now on, we have to start texting each other what weā€™re wearing before we go out, ā€˜cus this looks a little ri-donk-ulous,ā€ Hyunjin whispers in your ear as you make your way to the cup selection, trying to ignore all the stares youā€” no, heĀ is getting along the way.
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€ You ask, plucking two medium sized cups up before turning to look at him. Then you look down at yourself. Oh. Looks like youā€™re bothĀ wearing the hoodie from junior spirit week. ā€œNice.ā€ Just Couple Thingsā„¢!
Back to Hyunjin being weirdā€” why did he drag you all the way out here just to get a cup of chocolate frozen yogurt and maybe half a scoop of peanut butter chips?
Meanwhile, he watches in absolute disgust as you blow through your own dessert. Vanilla yogurt with probably every topping offered because you physically cannot make a decision, especiallyĀ when they have chunks of cookie dough up there.
ā€œSo,ā€ Hyunjin starts, trying not to look you in the eye considering you look like a goblin shoveling globs of diabetes down your throat, ā€œhave you talked to Jisung recently?ā€
You choke on a Fruity Pebble at his inquiry, prompting him to reach across the table and slap your back a few times until your esophagus is cleared. ā€œUgh,ā€ clearing your throat one last time, you take a few sips of water while shooting him a glare. Jisung? Really? ā€œHow dense areĀ you?ā€ You hiss unintentionally.
Hyunjin raises his hands in defense. ā€œJust a question.ā€
Yeah, just a question. Dumbass. ā€œI mean,ā€ you laugh awkwardly, ā€œnot really. We have a streak on Snap and sometimes weā€™ll talk occasionally but I donā€™t text him every day or anything. How about you?ā€
He shrugs, concentrating instead on stirring his yogurt into a goopy mess. ā€œEh. We still use our group chat a lot but thatā€™s it. Heā€™s too busy making music in Malaysia.ā€
You chuckle at this, picking out the boba from your own cup and leaving the rest now that it has started to look like something sold at the Chum Bucket. ā€œThat sucks,ā€ you offer, not the best at giving him consolidation, you opt for linking your feet around his own in some weird act of intimacy, ā€œisnā€™t he coming home for the holidays, though? Iā€™m sure you can all have a reunion soon.ā€
ā€œYeah, he is,ā€ Hyunjin hums, suddenly too focused on trying to escape your trap under the table. Annoyed Hyunjin is cute. ā€œStoooop,ā€ he whines, kicking at your shins before breaking into boisterous laughter at your relentlessness, ā€œI will not hesitate to throw this cup at your face.ā€
ā€œYeah, right,ā€ you scoff, ā€œIā€™d like to see you try.ā€
At this, Hyunjin drops his stupidly long arms beneath the table and easily captures your foot by the ankle, pulling hard enough for you to slip down your side of the booth. ā€œHyunjin!ā€ You shriek, panicking slightly at your sweaty handā€™s insecure grip against the leather. Youā€™re going to fall. Youā€™re going to fall flat on your ass underneath a table at a frozen yogurt place because the boy you like pulled your foot too hard. Fantastic. Ignoring you, he starts to wiggle your shoe off your foot no matter how hard you try to squirm out of his relentless grip. ā€œStop trying to eat my toes in the middle of Yogo!ā€
Finally, he releases your foot, letting it fall limp against his thigh.
ā€œGod,ā€ you huff, breathless as you squirm back up your seat, cheeks burning ferociously, ā€œyou are suchĀ an ass.ā€
Behind the playful smirk he fails to hide, something darker glints in Hyunjinā€™s eyes and it makes your heart skip a beat. Then, ā€œWe should go.ā€ The suggestion makes the heat of your blush scorch even hotter down your neck and you instinctively turn away, only to find the customers on the other side of the shop watching you with just as perturbed looks. Fantastic, part two.
ā€œOkie,ā€ you squeak out, blinking after him in complete and total bewilderment as to what just happened when he gets up to throw his trash away. Whatever. Following after him, you too toss your cup out before quickly finding your hand engulfed by his larger one as he leads you back outside, the sudden sharpness of the cold air bringing tears to your eyes. You desperately want to ask him what that was about, or why heā€™s acting so sneaky, but you stay silent, too afraid your voice will come out shaky and vulnerable. Instead, you let him tug you into his side and try to keep up with him no matter how badly your knees threaten to buckle with each glance you sneak up at him.
Itā€™s silent when you enter the car, watching warily as he reverses out of the parking spot and maneuvers through the lot. Your heart rate seemingly cannot slow itself down, adrenaline taking the place of oxygen the longer you stare at him, at the concentrated scrunch to his face, at the cute tip of his button nose and at the swell of his lips and you distantly wonder what would happen if you pulled him into a kiss at the next red light.
In the midst of your daydream Hyunjin clears his throat, bringing you back to reality and you realize with a startle that he has caught you. Jesus Christ! What has gotten intoĀ you? You mentally smack yourself upside the head, instantly turning away from his cocky little gaze and staring straight ahead in search of something else to focus on. ā€œ___,ā€ he sing-songs, slow and sensual and entirely demolishing the walls you have built around yourself. It is at thisĀ red light you wish to simply open the door and run.
ā€œYes?ā€ You manage, wincing at how small your voice sounds and while looking out his window instead of into his eyes, you notice him grip the steering wheel hard enough to turn his knuckles white. The tension is insurmountable, weighing in heavily on your chest and you desperately wish to arrive home, even though that means having to survive the next twelve hours with him. Anything is better than the small confines of his car.
ā€œWhat do you want to do when we get home?ā€ He asks, cool as a cucumber. You pale. It is a dangerous question and you do not know if he realizes that. ā€œUm,ā€ you cough, scooting to sit up straight, ā€œwhatever you want.ā€ You whisper the last part, genuinely petrified because you have absolutely no idea if your brain is twisting everything to make it seem like Hyunjin is flirting or if things are totally normal. No idea.
ā€œHm,ā€ he offers, tilting his head in thought, ā€œwe shall see.ā€
Yeah. We shall.
The rest of the ride is quiet, comfortably or uncomfortably you cannot say because you are too busy trying to calm the Spongebob burning office scene occurring inside your own head, hopelessly telling yourself that everything is fine, Hyunjinā€™s fine, youā€™re fine. Just pretend like nothing happened, you tell yourself when Hyunjin pulls into his driveway with practiced ease. ā€œUgh,ā€ he groans after retrieving your bag from the back seat, and you watch with a raised brow as he skips up to his porch, yelling, ā€œI have to pee!ā€
ā€œBegone with you, piss boy,ā€ you tease, holding the screen door open for him as he struggles to unlock the storm door and pulling on one of his hoodieā€™s drawstrings just to annoy him. ā€œStop,ā€ he growls, low and playful but nevertheless sending a swarm of butterflies to your tummy. You ignore him. Finally unlocking the door, Hyunjin shoves the keys into his pocket and seizes your wrist, yanking your arm down with enough force to nearly topple you into him. ā€œWhy are you being so annoying tonight?ā€ He frowns at you, nose and brows scrunched in irritation and it is only because of his proximity do you finally soften up.
ā€œSorry,ā€ you pout back, bringing your other hand up to boop his nose, ā€œI just missed ya.ā€
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½Ew,ā€ he snorts, stepping past the threshold and kicking off his shoes. You follow suit, closing the door behind you and clicking the lock into place as Kkami comes sprinting over. ā€œB-R-B,ā€ Hyunjin announces, presumably bouncing away to the bathroom.
ā€œOh, boy,ā€ you huff, squatting to pick up the fluffy little dog and hugging him close to your chest, ā€œyour dad is making my life very difficult.ā€ Pressing a quick kiss to the top of his head, you put Kkami back down and grab your bag before heading upstairs, knowing Hyunjin is going to take his grand old time and probably take a shit while heā€™s at it. Plus, youā€™re impatient and dying to take your bra off.
Aside from what light his Gudetama nightlight offers, Hyunjinā€™s room is ultimately left dark. Hereā€™s the thing: he used to have a lamp on his dresser, but then he took it with him to college and only brings it home for summer because heā€™s lazy and sleeps the majority of the time heā€™s home, anyway. Instead, he put up his little remote-controlled Christmas tree in addition to the lava lamp he has beside his bed. Perfect. For Hyunjin, at least.
Switching both of these on, their subtle glow offers just enough to keep you from banging your toe against something. Itā€™s happened one too many times. Hyunjinā€™s room isnā€™t messyā€” he really isnā€™t a messy person to begin with, but he will reorganize the furniture in his room fifty times a year and you never know where the crooked leg to his bedside table will be to ambush your pinky toe.
Setting your bag onto his bed, you excitedly fumble past all your layers and unclasp your bra, maneuvering out of it with a delighted exhale just as Hyunjin begins his ascent up the stairs, steps creaking loudly under his heavy trudging. ā€œIā€™m an idiot,ā€ he grumbles, leaning against the doorframe to catch his breath.
You donā€™t bother to look at him, opting to quickly retort instead, ā€œWe been knew.ā€
ā€œUgh,ā€ Hyunjin groans, exasperated, and you finally turn to him after successfully jamming aforementioned undergarment into your bag, ā€œanyways. I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t just come up here, because I have to wash my face anyway and you do too and now weā€™re bothĀ going to have to share a sink.ā€
ā€œAw,ā€ you coo, tone dripping with sarcasm as you pat his arm, ā€œpoor baby has to share the bathroom.ā€
ā€œIā€™m actually going to strangle you,ā€ he sighs, nevertheless following after you into the bathroom.
ā€œKinky.ā€
Hyunjin glares, unamused as he opens a drawer for his pink bow hairband and your striped pink and blue one that he bought for you, but keeps here for sleepovers. Yeah. He throws it to your face. ā€œSorry,ā€ you offer, pulling the soft headband up to hold your hair back, ā€œIā€™ll try to stop. Iā€™m just so used to annoying you.ā€
ā€œClearly,ā€ he scoffs, flashing his stupidly cute teasing smile and in your head, you imagine raising a white flag in surrenderā€” heā€™s got you, heā€™s won, itā€™s over. Time to call it quits and head home. Evidently shut up (for now), you offer him a roll of your eyes before turning on the sink to wet your hands before pumping out some of his scrumptious watermelon face wash. Maybe if you scrub hard enough, youā€™ll manage to rinse away all the overwhelming thoughts of the night, too.
Barefaced Hyunjin is immaculate. Well, Hyunjin is immaculate twenty-four hours out of the day, but barefaced, freshly washed, hair messy, ready for bed Hyunjin is immaculate, and you are one of the few people lucky enough to see this eighth wonder of the world as often as you do.
Now, maybe it has something to do with the unexpected ambiance the light from his laptop, Christmas lights, and lava lamp have created together that makes him look so unfairly beautiful at this given moment. Or, youā€™re just insanely pussywhipped and looking for an excuse. You try not to think about it.
ā€œWhy are you so squirmy tonight?ā€ He asks, frustrated enough to interrupt Kermit singing ā€˜Shawty I donā€™t mindā€™ playing from his laptop. ā€œIā€™m not,ā€ you defend, a weak argument indeed, given that you have just finished adjusting your position beside him for the umpteenth time.
ā€œI mean, four female Ghostbusters? The feminists are taking over! Iā€™m an adā€”ā€
ā€œ___, youā€™ve touched my dick like four times. Donā€™t try and tell me youā€™re not squirmy. Whatā€™s wrong?ā€ Hyunjin interrupts a second Vine, and even goes on to talk over ā€˜I have the power of God and anime on my side!ā€™ like a lunatic. Oh Christ, you have? Surely you would have noticed. ā€œSorry,ā€ you mumble, embarrassed as you bury your face into the curve of his pectoral and instinctively move your leg settled between his away, ā€œIā€™m just hot, to be honest.ā€ Technically, it is not a lie. Hyunjinā€™s family definitely keeps their thermostat at a higher temperature than yours and you always manage to sweat your ass off every time you come over. This time, however, you are certain it has more to do with the assault your heart is facing rather than your sweat glands.
At the sound of his tap against the spacebar to pause the video, you wordlessly and reluctantly sit up from your comfortable spot beside him in order to rid yourself of your heavy sweatshirt. Now, here lies the problem. Sweatshirt: off. Nipples: out. Realistically, Hyunjin has seen your boobs a number of times over the past few years, and even if he hadnā€™t, he probably wouldnā€™t even bat an eye. But right now, your heart is on the line, youā€™re embarrassed and youā€™re trying to play it extremely safe.
You toss the hoodie to the floor and nestle right back where you were anyway, slinging your right arm over his torso and ignoring his sharp intake of breath when you snuggle closer. ā€œBetter?ā€ He asks, voice strained and it literally makes you nauseous. ā€œYep.ā€
He resumes the video. You had started early in the night watching Pom Poko, which unsurprisingly ended with the two of you crying at the bittersweet ending, then moved to TikTok compilations on YouTube to cheer up before moving on from them and onto the classic Vine compilations. You paid good attention for the most part, chuckling along with him to ā€˜What up, Iā€™m Jared, Iā€™m nineteen and I never fucking learned how to read,ā€™ ā€˜Bruh chill, I donā€™t know why you in a big time rush,ā€™ and all the other absolute comedic masterpieces. But after the fourth or fifth video of the same six second clips with an occasional rare one, you began to grow bored and decided to do what you do best: admire Hyunjin.
Sure, ā€˜Come get yo juice!ā€™ followed by the loud smash of the oven made you smile, but you found the flashing lights casting shadows beneath Hyunjinā€™s eyes and lips much more fascinating. Of course, this is not the first time you have been held so close to him. But it is, however, all too easy to get lost in the sight of him and youā€™ve noticed recently that you are in desperate need of a map. Whether itā€™s due to your time away from him or simply an appreciation for untouched beauty you do not know.
Even now, your gaze flickers to his laptop once you hear ā€˜Get to Del Taco,ā€™ but having already watched it five thousand times you tilt your head upward to catch Hyunjinā€™s silent giggle at ā€˜free-sha-voca-do.ā€™ Itā€™s a vicious cycle, really, going back and forth between wanting to simply enjoy the night and realizing enjoying the night lies totally in Hyunjinā€™s presence. And so, you continue to fall into this trap each time until you pay no mind to the videos at all, basking in the brilliance of Hyunjinā€™s joyous smile and the warmth his happiness makes you feel. It is this thought that slowly tugs you to sleep, a fight to keep your heavy eyelids open lost until finally, you give in to the comfort and allow yourself to drift off to the sound of ā€˜Step the fuck up, Kyle.ā€™
Tumblr media
You think you are dreaming.
You think.
ā€œ___,ā€ the softness of Hyunjinā€™s voice at the crown of your head eases you from the clutches of sleep and you stretch your locked limbs before curling further into his side. ā€œWe didnā€™t open presents.ā€ Even though you canā€™t see him, you can hear his pout, and you realize you must be awake to hear the disappointed words caught sluggishly between his lips so vividly. You hum, hesitant to open your eyes because you reallyĀ want to go back to sleep. Just for a little while. And so, you ask, ā€œWhat time is it?ā€
ā€œJust past two,ā€ he whispers.
You hum again, trying to formulate a sensible sentence in the parts of your brain still asleep, ā€œWe canā€¦ wake up at four. And open gifts. Okay?ā€
ā€œOkay, weirdo,ā€ Hyunjin chuckles to himself, sliding lower down the mattress after shutting his laptop.
You think you are dreaming.
You think.
You canā€™t remember ever falling asleep facing each other. But yet again, your brain is clouded beyond capability and now, you know for certain you are dreaming. Hyunjin never faces you.
Blinking slowly, it takes a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the impenetrable darkness and you struggle to make out the features of Hyunjinā€™s face. You know you are dreaming, and so you tug him closer, throwing a leg over his thigh and an arm over his waist. Even in your sleep, you feel the sadness pricking at your heart, for even it knows this is only what dreams are made of. You like to make the best of it.
ā€œYou know I love you, Jinnie, right?ā€ Your voice comes out funny, drawn out and mumbled like your tongue is numb and you fight the urge to feel for yourself.
ā€œOf course I do. I love you too.ā€ His reply surprises you. You thought he was asleep and, either way, hearing such fond words from him puts your heart at ease. He must be misunderstood.
ā€œNo. I mean likeā€¦ I likeĀ you, love you. Like I want to kiss youā€¦ kiss you good morning and before bed love you. Send you hearts and take stupid couple pics andā€¦ go on dumb dates love you. You know?ā€ Your words feel garbled and incomprehensible the longer you go on, trying to express how you feel when nothing is real proving to be increasingly difficult. God, if only you could do it when things areĀ real.
You start to feel yourself slipping as he mutters a reply, mind in free fall and fuck, fuck, fuck, heā€™s whispering and you canā€™t hear him but you are too tired and helpless to wake yourself up to hear it. No, too lost in the next dream to go back. You canā€™t tell what is real and what isnā€™t. Christ, were you awake? You canā€™t tell. All you know is that you are warm, so, so warmĀ and letting sleep take over you once more is the best answer to all your questions.
Tumblr media
Hyunjin always says he hates waking people up. Because heā€™sĀ normally the one needing to be awoken, whenever the roles are swapped he doesnā€™t know what heā€™s supposed to do.
This time, however, he takes it upon himself to repeatedly smack your face with his pillow. Not a fun experience when itā€™s coming from someone who fails to recognize his own strength. ā€œJesus, fuck! Okay!ā€ You hiss, the cloud of sleep abruptly ripped away from you with the slap of his pillow against your skin. Arms raised defensively in front of you, you catch his next swing and tear the pillow out of his grasp to shield yourself all before you have even opened your eyes. When you do so, with the blatant intention just to find where he is and hurl the pillow at him, you are met with the harsh light from his ceiling fan and have to squint past the stinging white light to see his shit-eating grin.
ā€œWas that necessary?ā€ You groan, undeniably annoyed and wanting to glare at him more but needing to rub the ache out of your eyes. ā€œYes,ā€ is all he says, reaching for your bag and catapulting it to you. He is incredibly lucky you are quick enough to catch it before it thumps against your head. What has gotten into him? Did he eat an entire bag of Pixy Stix while you were asleep? You watch, still dazed from sleep and reeling from the whole pillow smacking attack, as he flings open his closet door and turns back around with two neatly wrapped boxes. You squint to make out the dancing Santa T-rex wrapping paper.
ā€œOh,ā€ you chirp, understanding, and you unzip your bag to retrieve the large box taking up the majority of space, ā€œthanks for waking me up. Iā€™m surprised you remembered. Did you stay up?ā€
A rosy blush burns its way across his cheekbones. Odd. ā€œI, umā€” yeah. No, actually,ā€ he stutters, reallyĀ odd, given he was bouncing off the walls not even thirty seconds ago, ā€œI set an alarm. You made me sleepy.ā€ Hyunjin sits beside you once you have scooted over, leaning against the wall and crossing his long ass legs. He keeps his eyes trained on the boxes in his hands. ā€œOh,ā€ you hum, looking to your own gift and suddenly wishing for the mattress to swallow you up, ā€œsorry. I havenā€™t gotten as much sleep as you on break so far.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t think anyone ever has,ā€ he jokes and you finally look to him, sharing a cheeky smile before he gets all shy again, tongue darting out to wet his lips, ā€œum, Merry Christmas, ___.ā€
Itā€™s a simple phrase, but it makes your heart swell. ā€œMerry Christmas to you too, Hyunjin.ā€ Leaning over, you wrap your arms around his shoulders in an awkward side hug, but still end up feeling all drunk and loopy on love when he eagerly returns the gesture, arms curling around you.
ā€œOkay,ā€ you huff, sitting back, ā€œme first.ā€ You dramatically hold your gift out to him, jittery and nervous all over. Buying for Hyunjin is always hard. Heā€™s just so easy to please, but when you want to do more than just please him itā€™s a constant battle trying to decide how far out you are going to go for him each year.
You watch impatiently as he tears the wrapping paper open first, and then finally lifts the flaps of the box up. ā€œAw,ā€ he whimpers, pulling out the quokka plushie and attached certificate, ā€œyou adopted a quokka for me?ā€
You grin when he hugs the soft stuffed animal to his chest, the weight on your shoulders partly lifted from his positive reaction. He reaches back into the box, brow scrunched in thought as he regards the framed picture. ā€œThe First Dayā€¦?ā€ Hyunjin asks, perplexed as he reads the title above the constellation poster. You scoot closer, leaning over to look it over once more. ā€œThis was the constellation of stars on our first day of freshman year. The day we first met.ā€
ā€œOh,ā€ Hyunjin sniffs, ā€œthatā€™s really awesome, ___. Thank you. This is coming with me to school.ā€ At this, he hugs you again, probably to hide the tears you know are threatening to spill because Hyunjin is Baby and cries every year. ā€œAnything for my favorite fake Aussie,ā€ you smile, leaning your head on his shoulder as he reads through the quokka adoption letter.
ā€œOkay! Your turn!ā€ He exclaims, setting his gifts back into the box and passing you the smaller one of his. He catches your curious glance to the second one he keeps by his side. ā€œWe have to open this one together.ā€
ā€œChrist, okay. Looks like Iā€™m gonna be crying tonight, too,ā€ you sigh sadly. ā€œOoh,ā€ jumping ahead of yourself, you wiggle your eyebrows at the white box before you, ā€œHyunjin if you bought me a Fitbitā€¦ I swear to God. How many times have I said I am notĀ working out with you?ā€ However, once you finish tearing open the wrapping paper you find it is not, in fact, a Fitbit.
ā€œItā€™s not a Fitbit, idiot,ā€ Hyunjin scoffs a second too late, waiting for you to slip the lid off the box. ā€œTheyā€™re bond touch bracelets.ā€
ā€œExplain,ā€ you murmur, enamored but confused at the two little house arrest looking bracelets.
ā€œSo basically, we each wear one,ā€ Hyunjin starts, taking one of the bracelets out and a burst of color blooms across its small screen at the motion, ā€œand if you touch it, mine vibrates and I ā€˜feelā€™ your touch.ā€ As he explains, he buckles it around your wrist, twisting it so it lies correctly. You silently take the second one and help it on him, brain too caught up to actually say anything.
ā€œTry it,ā€ Hyunjin whispers, suppressing his excitement.
You gingerly bring a finger to the little screen, tapping it once, twice. Nothing happens. Frowning, you try again, tapping and holding, then a second time, and finallyā€” a strip of pink light appears and the bracelet gently vibrates as you tap and hold a random pattern. In response, the bracelet on Hyunjinā€™s wrist lights up blue, buzzing in the same pattern.
ā€œOh, Hyunjin,ā€ you sniffle, fighting back your own tears because you refuse to let yourself ugly cry in front of him, ā€œthis is amazing. Now I can annoy you year-round. Thank you so, so much. I love you so much.ā€ He hums, pulling you close when you turn to give him a proper hug. To your utmost surprise, however, instead of letting go he curls one fist into your side and helps swing your legs over to straddle his lap. ā€œOh.ā€
ā€œ___,ā€ Hyunjin sighs thoughtfully, fingers playing with the sleeves of your tee, ā€œI love you, too.ā€
You nearly spit up your coffee. If you were drinking coffee. Instead, youā€™re left with a dry mouth and a slack jaw at his words. Huh?
Glancing to the constellation picture peeking out of his box, and then to the matching bracelets you both wear, you find your mind reeling trying to make sense of it all. Yeah, you say the forbidden L-word to each another all the time, but most certainly not with you on his on lap and his lips mere centimeters away. The answer is so obviously clear as day you have trouble believing it.
ā€œFuck,ā€ you laugh all of a sudden, as soon as the realization hits you, ā€œI wasnā€™t dreaming, was I?ā€
Hyunjin lets out a joyous giggle, hands linking behind your back. Unable to hide his smile any longer, he clarifies, ā€œYou were not, madam. We literally just finished talking about when we were going to open gifts and then I got ready to sleep. Two seconds later you dumped your heart out to me, but when I answered, you were asleep.ā€
ā€œBruh,ā€ you wince, hiding your face with your hands, ā€œI am so sorry you had to deal with that.ā€
ā€œNo, donā€™t be,ā€ Hyunjin comforts, reaching to tug your hands away. Your gut does somersaults when he intertwines his fingers with yours. ā€œI was actually, uh, planning on doing some sort of confession to you anyway, but then you went right ahead and did it for me. So thanks for that.ā€
ā€œWow,ā€ you chuckle, trying to wrap your mind around it all, ā€œdoes that mean you, ahem, perhaps like me too?ā€
ā€œNo, I just got us really couple-y long distance relationship bracelets, pulled you onto my lap, and kissed you because I just want to be friends.ā€
ā€œYou didnā€™t kiss mā€”ā€
The sly little fucker interrupts your retort by quickly dipping down to press a fat smooch to your lips, missing miserably and you donā€™t know if he did it on purpose but you quickly fix the problem, releasing his hands to cradle his jaw and tilt his head the right angle. Finally, finallyĀ you kiss him, breathing in the smell of him like some sort of aromatherapy and whimpering into his mouth when his tongue swipes against your own. It is like nothing you have ever experienced, the taste and feel of him making you tremble and igniting a burst of electricity through your veins. You could kiss him forever, you think, sucking on his plump bottom lip greedily until he finally pulls back, desperate for air or trying to reel himself in you canā€™t say.
ā€œYou have to open your other gift,ā€ Hyunjin reminds, chest heaving, and your gaze follows his long fingers as they comb his hair away from his forehead. Automatically, as if kissing Hyunjin once grants you some kind of free pass to do the same, you brush a few stray strands away from his face before leaning back to admire him. ā€œStoooop. You canā€™t do that and not expect me to kiss you again. Open. Your. Gift.ā€ Hyunjin whines, squishing your cheeks and turning your head away.
ā€œOkay, donā€™t blame this on me,ā€ you huff, reaching for the second box before jabbing a finger into his chest, ā€œyou, sir, need to stop being so beautiful for like, two seconds.ā€
He scoffs, helping you rip off the wrapping paper, ā€œYouā€™re the beautiful one here.ā€
ā€œEw,ā€ you wrinkle your nose, most certainly not used to Hyunjin dishing out such compliments, ā€œthis is too Hallmark Christmas movie for me. Let me open my gift in peace, ugly.ā€ This box, unlike the braceletsā€™, is simple cardboard and when you lift open the lid, a brown leather book looks back at you. ā€œYou remember Up?ā€ He asks.
On the leather, it reads Our Adventure BookĀ in mismatched colors. ā€œYeah,ā€ you whisper, flipping open the cover to find two baby pictures glued on the paper, one of Hyunjin, and one of you. At the top, itā€™s labeled ā€˜Before Shit Went Down.ā€™ You laugh.
On the next page, there are random photographs from middle school, and then finally each otherā€™s eighth grade graduation portraits. Then, written at the top is ā€˜Here It Begins,ā€™ followed by a selfie he randomly took with you a few weeks into school freshman year, and then some from homecoming. Silently flipping through the rest of the book, your tears flow freely now, touched beyond comparison at all the photographs and all the memories accompanying them. Some are from large events like prom, others from random moments you donā€™t even remember, but each and every one comes together to form a special mold fitting perfectly into that Hyunjin-shaped hole in your heart.
The last picture is from the christening last month. Of course, it isnā€™t one of the nicer photos his mom took of the two of you, but a SnapChat selfie with the flaming sunglasses filter. Heā€™s mid-laugh and youā€™re pressing a kiss to his cheek. Funny thing is, you donā€™t even remember taking it.
The page next to it is blank, aside from whatā€™s written at the top of the page. ā€œTogetha Foreva,ā€ you read aloud, voice choked up and God, you cannot fathomĀ how gross you look right now. ā€œWhat the fuck, man!ā€ You sob, punching Hyunjinā€™s shoulder before wiping your nose and cheeks with the back of your hands. ā€œI didnā€™t sign up for this cock and ball torture.ā€
Hyunjin laughs loudly at this, pulling you into a hug and giving you a few seconds to recover. ā€œHyunjin, this is likeā€¦ seriously the best thing anyone has ever done for me, holy shit. God, you Pinterest son of a bitch, this is such a good idea,ā€ you groan, flipping back through the pages and getting teary-eyed all over again, ā€œI canā€™t express how much this means to me, Jinnie. Thank you, really.ā€
Flashing that toothy grin of his, Hyunjin tugs you to lie back down with him and tilts your head up to press a much more accurate kiss to your lips. ā€œI meant what I said before, ___,ā€ he murmurs, ā€œI donā€™t know what to do without you, and I know we only get to see each other once a month but I canā€™t keep living as just friends. Youā€™re so much more than that. And I hope all the pictures we add from now on will show this new chapter of our lives. If not, well, then I guess Iā€™ll just burn the book.ā€
ā€œAre you asking me to be Kkamiā€™s official poop-picker-upper?ā€
ā€œYes. Waitā€” what? No!ā€
You break into a fit of laughter, only to be interrupted with him pinching your side and causing you to let out a yelp. ā€œHey!ā€ You bark, jumping closer to him and away from his hand until, finally, you give in to your self-indulgence and go right on ahead in swinging a leg over his hips and pinning him beneath you.
ā€œYou ruined my serious love speech, ___,ā€ Hyunjin pouts, face scrunched up at you.
ā€œIā€™m sorry, baby, go on.ā€
You pause, blinking slowly at him. He blinks back, the silence in the air weighing in heavily as both of your two brain cells bounce around trying to figure out whatĀ did you just call him?
ā€œNever mind,ā€ Hyunjin says, voice a low rumble of thunder as he reaches for your hips and easily flips positions, ā€œI think youā€™re on the same boat.ā€
You laugh, tilting your head back and eyeing him indignantly.Ā Fuck, he looks unfairly delectable hovering above you.
ā€œOkay, how many more times do I have to tell you I love you for you to formally ask me to be your girlfriend, stupid?ā€ You scowl, bringing your hands to cradle his neck, thumbs brushing delicately against his jaw.
ā€œCall me baby again and weā€™ll see about making that happen.ā€
You raise a brow, tugging his face closer by the chain of his necklace. ā€œYouā€™re lucky itā€™s Christmas, baby.ā€

Otome Thursday
ITā€™S BRAM!!!!
Yā€™all, you have no idea how excited I was for this route/series to start. I wasnā€™t a big fan of Ravi.
ANYWAY
Bram Route
Episode 1 (The free one šŸ˜‰)
-I really dig the beginning of the route.
-Like a land hidden from even the Elves? Nice
-Also also, I like that this series, Love and Legends, AND Reigning Passions all take place in the same universe and it makes sense. Unlike the more modern series where the crew just sticks characters in the stories to say ā€œHey, look, notice these charactersā€
-Sorry. Iā€™m ranting
-Focusing now
-I named my MC Mari Rya
-Sheā€™s beautiful
-Sheā€™s got a little, sprite/fairy/thing named Ness
-I love them
-I only know the name of the new land because I played the Ravi short but itā€™s called Tallav
-Mariā€™s got a reputation as a researcher.
-But this is also a lifelong dream of hers.
-Ness doesnā€™t speak (what Iā€™m going to call) English, but Mari understands her anyway
-Ness uses They/Them pronouns. RESPECT IT
-Magic time!
-Ness magic time!
-Mari can feel all the living things. I feel like thatā€™s not a human thing.
-But I will reserve judgement
-Sheā€™s had a rune stone since she was a baby. Yeah, sheā€™s def not human.
-Holy shit a bear!
-ā€¦with a shield and a spear on itā€™s back.
-Subtle
-The way these sprites move are fucking hilarious
-Mari said ā€œNope not todayā€
-Canā€™t out run a bear. What does this bitch do?
-Drop down to play dead. Cause thatā€™s totally gonna stop a bear from chewing on your spleen
-the ā€œbearā€ is able to turn her over to her back (duh)
-it turns into a man andā€¦oh what a man
-this CG is so fucking cute!
-heā€™s like ā€œIs she alive?ā€
-Sheā€™s like ā€œthe fuck is he doing?ā€
-Iā€™m like ā€œSqueeeee theyā€™re both so stupid rnā€
-Oh those eyesā€¦
-I havenā€™t been this in love since Razi. Or Renzei.
-Oh no! headbutt. Gives me a headache just reading it.
-Fuck look at those abs.
-LVS really knows what theyā€™re doing with these character designs
-And Mariā€™s being thirsty too. Itā€™s not just me
-Whew chile, the way she describes this man. Girl,
-Thank you, Ness, someone has their head on properly
-Never mind. Theyā€™re just as thirsty
-I still wanna know how Mari can talk to them
-He knows sheā€™s a human cause sheā€™s wearing clothes. Good lord this series is gonna be a riot in the first couple seasons
-Oh Mariā€¦youā€™re sounding very Colonizerish
-I donā€™t like that
-Though it is kinda cute how she nerds out
-I can see her doing this with any thing she comes across.
-Thank you, Ness. Time and Place Mari!
-Invasive is one word for it
-Not much to write.
-Sheā€™s gushing. Heā€™s listening. Theyā€™re both hot
-oh no, not an eyebrow lift!
-from both of them!
-I canā€™t do this.
-This bitch just walks away from a question ā€˜cause she got caught staring!
-I canā€™t! This is me. Running away from all my problems
-Bram follows cause, yā€™know, stranger in the woods
-Bram likes Ness. Itā€™s adorable
-Anthropologist=Skald? Maybe.
-Apparently rune reading is impossible, so is befriending a Puck (Ness)
-Mari is def not a human. At least not fully
-See, I feel like if she showed Bram the rune stone she carried with her, that would help bridge this gap.
-But yā€™know. Whatever.
-Oh they are two bull-headed people
-Heā€™s got (understandable) prejudices against humans/bipeds
-Sheā€™s like ā€œMY RESEARCHā€
-Iā€™m like ā€œGirl, theyā€™re living people. Respect their boundaries. And Dude, Learn a littleā€
- Sheā€™s very forceful with the fact that she ā€˜needs to do her researchā€™
-Itā€™s very Colonizerish and I donā€™t approve.
-Mari, You canā€™t prove that the Duke who hired you only wanted you to do pure research.
-Ha, Bram called her pretty
-Ohhh Mahuwin Villiage
-Cue Victor from Underworld: ā€œYOU MUST BE JUDGED!!ā€
-damn he called her insidious
-Mariā€¦honey. Going to a village, youā€™ll get to see how they live and see how the justice system works. Calm down.
-Of course, no oneā€™s ever been so unwelcoming. Youā€™ve been dealing with other humans and elves.
-Girl!
-Iā€™m judging you so hard rn
-Whew chile that took a lot outta me
Episode 2
-Awww I do feel bad for Ness tho
-Theyā€™re scared too
-Bruh, Bram JUST said he doesnā€™t know what an anthropologist is. You barely related it to a Skald. Showing him your notes means nothing.
-Bram, dude, I get youā€™re supposed to protect but youā€™re seeing enemies in the wrong people. Though I get why youā€™d suspect her.
-The Dinae have no secrets between their tribes (Iā€™m assuming) so thereā€™d be no need for an anthropologist to go looking for old history.
-Also he called her cute (again)
-Ohkay. I draw the line at you accusing Mari of torturing Ness.
-Only a heartless monster would lay hands on Ness.
-I need you to think baby: WHYY WOULD NESS STAY? If Pucks are magical creatures, surely you donā€™t think that Ness would be foolish enough to stay with a powerless human.
-Oh. Donā€™t make me insult your intelligence
-Oh donā€™t make me
-Mari. Donā€™t do anything stupid. Please. Heā€™s actually being nice. In a weird way. Taking you to be judged. Someone else wouldā€™ve just killed you
-Mariā€¦you canā€™t do your job in someone elseā€™s country without permission. To get permission, you need to go to a village.
-Iā€™m starting to question your intelligence
-Oh good. The bull-headedness is back
-No shit itā€™s more than just a job! I think you would have gathered that from the fact that to enter Tallav you had to pass a BEAR statue
-Oh no not the sad face
-I know LVS is gonna use that face to get money out of me in future scenes
-Mari, youā€™re both stubborn. And if I had it my way, youā€™dā€™ve gone with him already
-MARI! HEā€™S NOT A SOLDIER!
-ARUGH
- Not the type of roleplay I thought Iā€™d be reading in this story but sure. Have some hearts
-I wanna smack her so bad and the first seasonā€™s not over yet.
-Usually the urge to smack doesnā€™t kick in until at least season 2.
-Sheā€™s a record setter
-Uh oh Bram, you called her an interrogator.
-And he STILL doesnā€™t fix it!
-Theyā€™re both so rude
-Ok, so he gets the why.
-Weā€™re making progress
-This woman canā€™t let her thirst rest for five minutes.
-I mean same but come on
-Ah! Progress on both sides!
-Still donā€™t like how forceful Mari is about her job. How would she feel if her job put people in danger?
-You kinda did Mari. You kinda did say ā€œIā€™m going to do what I want anywayā€
-Not in those exact words but enough
-My point!
Bram: You ever think that if we wanted to be bothered by any kingdoms, we would have officially contacted them
Thatā€™s my point
At the same time, Bram and his fellow Dinae have their fellow prejudice against bipeds. As I said, mostly justified but they act that they canā€™t adapt or change
-Mari, interest isnā€™t always flatteringā€¦we arenā€™t in high school
-Now sheā€™s running away. From a guy that can turn into a bear
-Iā€™m very much questioning her intelligence now.
-Cause she dumb dumb.
-And thus begins an infuriating game of human and bear
-Oh yeah Mari, cause you can totally break the hold of a guy WHO CAN TURN INTO A BEAR
-As Mari is kicking and screaming, Bram: Am I hurting you?
-LMFAOOOO
-Awww Ness trying to help.
-Bitch. He puts you down and you climb a tree. Like bears donā€™t climb trees?
-Thank you Ness for talking some sense into this stupid girl
-Why is she so defensive?!
-Why canā€™t they just give me the option of ā€œFine.ā€ FOR ONCE
-Seriously Mari? If you had stumbled upon a village during your wandering that really HATED humans, the chances of them killing you are SUPER fucking high. Doing it this way is arguably a lot safer
-YO Ā WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!
-That looked like a swamp deer Ā monster from It Lives Beneath
-FUCK THAT
-RUN BITCHā€¦FUCKING RUUUNNNN
-Why is run never an option when we are clearly outmatched?
-Oh god why does it have to look at the screen!!!
-I donā€™t like that
-and ewwwww they did detail on the muscles
-Yeah no shit itā€™s targeting Mari, Bram!
-I think thatā€™s pretty obvious!
-Thank again Ness for saving One Stupid Bitch
-Weā€¦we get to RIDE Bram?
-I can (and will) make so many jokes about that
-Iā€™ve already restrained myself from making Bear jokes. So, youā€™ll deal with that
Episode 3
-Hehehehehehehhehe
-We rode him
-Hopefully this wonā€™t be last time
-and the next time wonā€™t be in bear form
-Ohkay. Iā€™m back. The chapterā€™s loaded
-Wait one more
-And we can use that rope for something else too
-Idk how to do the lenny face soā€¦ā€¦just imagine it
-Ok. NOW Iā€™m done.
-Finally, a decent option. THANK YOU, BRAM
-Yeah Mari get that through your thick fucking skull. Heā€™s a defender. He defends.
-Awwww Bram isnā€™t comfortable with praise. Iā€™m gonna take every opportunity to do it now
-Mari, this is why we donā€™t talk shit up.
-Hehe still riding him
-Ewww that thing is back.
-Plus side?
-FIGHT SCENE
-Oh nooooo Bramā€™s hurt
-MARI CONTROL YOUR THIRST THE MAN IS INJURED
-Thank you, Ness! I swear theyā€™re the only character I havenā€™t been pissed at
-Mari begins to nerd out over plants. Honestly same
-OMG HIS BLUSH
-GUYS. HIS BLUSH
-The stuff of nightmares was an Abberation. I like my name better so it and all its freaky brethren will be called The Stuff of Nightmares
-And Bramā€™s back to being suspicious. Sigh. And we were having such a nice time
-The Dinae donā€™t have pets and thatā€™s the saddest thing Iā€™ve read all day.
-Mari just realized that Bramā€™s been naked this entire time.
-Lol
-Oh so, if Bram trusted Mari, heā€™d happily tell her everything she wanted to know.
-Hmmmmmm
-I certainly canā€™t say no to that face. So neither can you Mari. Here. Have some hearts
-See, they say fur covered thigh, all I hear is, cuddling for the winter.
-OMG SHE COULD SQUISH HIS PAW BEANS
-IF SHE DOESNā€™T SQUISH HIS PAW BEANS WEā€™RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM
-Mari stahp being so thirsty. Thereā€™s a stream next to you. Go dunk your head.
-Ness is adorable and I want a plushie of them
-Oh NOQOOOWW she has a problem with riding him
-ā€¦Ok, I meanā€¦her explanation makes sense.
-See, every Dinae does it!
-Bram is so tired of her. Itā€™s so funny
-WAIT. THEREā€™S WOLVERINES
-ā€¦.is oneā€™s name Logan?
-Iā€™ll leave now
-Iā€™m so glad theyā€™re starting to understand each other more. Cause I was ready to jump through my phone screen.
-Things are still tense, of course.
-Wait a fucking minute. Going through a patch of brambles saved you a fucking DAY of travel? WTF
-Iā€™m very interested in seeing how this plays out as opposed to Raviā€™s route.
-Letā€™s meet Chieftain Mael!!

ā€˜always and forever, lara jeanā€™: a bungled mess of my thoughts while watching the movie
Tumblr media
Alright, cards on the table: I never finished reading the book. I got bored a couple of pages in, so I just read up the summary on Wikipedia and called it a day.
Not gonna lie, I expected better from the movies. I loved the first movie; it was cute, it was fun, it hit all the right places. The second movie wasā€¦ eh. Jordan Fisher is cute, so thatā€™s a plus.
And then we got the third movie; the final in the To All the Boys Iā€™ve Loved Before trilogy.
And it was somehow even worse.
Maybe Iā€™m exaggerating. Despite its shortcomings in the plot and character development-related departments (the fact that Lara Jean wrote addresses for letters she never meant to send is something that will bother me on my deathbed), the movies have their merits. Theyā€™re cutesy and charming and enjoyable, overall; movie-LJ is sweet and unashamedly a girly-girl, which is a refreshing change from the #NotLikeOtherGirls, pick-me girls and bruh girls we had in loads of other YA movies growing up. Peterā€™s pretty cute, too; heā€™s not a possessive freak like so many other love interests (The Kissing Booth, After, Anna and the French Kiss), and his and Lara Jeanā€™s dynamic is cute, too. Not to mention- we finally have an Asian lead whose Asian-ness isnā€™t the whole focus of the story!
Again, maybe Iā€™m being extra with all this. The series is, at its core, solely for entertainment purposes. Not every piece of media has to have an underlying message and you shouldnā€™t need to read between every goddamn line to find something worthy of enjoying. Theyā€™re certainly helpful for whiling away a couple of hours; perfect for bingeing with a pint of ice cream in hand, and all of this is in good fun.
Also, it goes without saying, but: spoilers ahead.
The film beings with Lara Jean scribbling a postcard to Peter while sheā€™s in Korea with her family. The inclusion of that little snapshot of Asian culture made me so happy- seriously, fuck everyone who says diversity in media doesnā€™t matter. Iā€™m not even Korean, and I was overjoyed at seeing a couple of scenes just from the same continent Iā€™m on. The K-pop music in the background was a fun touch, too (although all Korean music isnā€™t K-pop, but thatā€™s a rant for another day).
(Also: Blackpink has so many more suitable songs than Pretty Savage that go with the theme of the movies. Kill This Love in the second movie while Lara Jean is getting ready to go to her boyfriendā€™s match is bad enough- theyā€™re supposed to be in love in that scene, goddammit.)
One thing that bothered me throughout the movies is how obviously non-Korean Lara Jean and Margot look. Itā€™s like whoever chose the cast went for any random Asian- Lanaā€™s Vietnamese and Janel Parrish is half-Chinese, and itā€™s so obvious. You seriously couldnā€™t find two Korean-Americans who even vaguely resembled each other so they could pass for sisters? The actresses do a stunning job and I donā€™t want to shit on them, but I just wish they didnā€™t go with the ā€˜all Asians look the same, whatā€™s the difference?ā€™ mindset.
Also, a nitpicky thing Iā€™ve noticed in movies with characters who read a lot: no one holds their books up while theyā€™re reading. Your arms start to cramp, which is why you keep your book in your lap while youā€™re reading, or you rest on your belly and hold the book in front of you. My spine and shoulders didnā€™t suffer years of torture as a chronic reader for you to include characters who hold their books up while reading.
A major gripe I have with Always and Forever, Lara Jean is how the characters are almost jarringly out of character- not from the books, but from the two previous movies, too. Lara Jean didnā€™t have much of a character to begin with, so I canā€™t say much about her (she dissed Oasis at one point; itā€™s okay for me to be mean to her), but the rest of them are either caricatures of themselves or just totally different people.
Movie Peter >>> Book Peter. Heā€™s almost too perfect (except for the fact that he unironically loves The Fast and the Furious, whichā€¦ ew), almost too much of the ideal boyfriend. Not that my perpetually single arse would know. How do boyfriends even work? I wouldnā€™t know the first thing to do with one; how often should you feed it? Do you need to take it on walks?
(In the notes Iā€™ve written towards the end of the film, Iā€™ve complained about Peter being immature and making Lara Jean feel bad about following her dream to go to NYU. He confuses me.)
Not to mention how distractingly adorable Noah Centineo is from some angles and under certain lighting conditions (other times, he reminds me of the human version of Shrek and that bothered me). King of weird Tweets and Instagram captions though he may be, heā€™s got a really nice smile, and his gravelly voice is both parts sexy and disturbing.
But I digress.
Iā€™ll never forgive the directors for what they did to Kitty and Chris- two of my favorite characters, from both the books and the movies. Kittyā€™s annoying to the point of being borderline unlikeable- gone is the occasionally snarky comic relief we all came to love; in her place is an annoying brat whose every line comes out forced. Also, making soap is fun; fuck you, Kitty.
Chris is essentially Dixie Dā€™Amelioā€™s character from that TikToker Greyā€™s Anatomy ripoff; the main character in One Direction fanfiction from 2012 who doesnā€™t want to go to the concert but her best friend gets a ticket for her so she canā€™t bail but Harry Styles sees her in the crowd and falls in love at first sight and 50k of mutual pining and misunderstandings late, they get together. Sheā€™s cynical and snarky and hates capitalism and consumerism and prom (because of course she does), but secretly, sheā€™s into it (because of course she is). My guess is that sheā€™s there to appease all the arseholes (including myself) who accused the characters of being too one-dimensional, but it seems too out of place in a movie that doesnā€™t have much plot to begin with.
I really, really hate how Lucas was done dirty- throughout every single movie. Of course, itā€™s Lara Jeanā€™s story so not every side character has to be fully fleshed out- but youā€™d think three. entire. movies. would be enough to give Lucas a bigger role than the GBF and the token black guy for the diversity brownie points. Every single time Lucas shows up, itā€™s to push Lara Jean and Peterā€™s story forward. I wouldā€™ve liked to see a romance for him pushed forward instead one for Chris- especially because he says, at one point in a previous movie, that itā€™s hard to find other gay boys, so it wouldā€™ve been sweet to see him find love- and Chrisā€™s character arc couldā€™ve been focused on reconciling with Genevieve. Instead, we see the OG Reggie from Riverdale be the one to show Chris the bright side of monogamy, and Lucas gets a date to prom as an afterthought (another darkskin black dude, so no one thinks the film is racist).
Genevieveā€™s character in this movie gives me whiplash. Look, Iā€™m all for girls supporting girls- healthy female relationships are something way too many YA movies lack- but she goes from bitch queen extraordinaire to friendly the moment the next scene calls for it. Her character isnā€™t consistent. A redemption arc should be executed cleanly and believably; you canā€™t have a character be a total prick one moment and then suddenly be, ā€œHey, if you get into NYU, let me know,ā€ the next.
And Genevieveā€™s still an arsehole to Chris; at one point, in NYC, while theyā€™re at the NYU campus grounds (I knew that Lara Jean was going to go to NYU the moment she saw all the banners; I fucking called it), Genevieve tells Chris, ā€œUniversity is for people who actually have a future,ā€ and I recoiled. Iā€™m not the nicest of people and yet that was going too far. Chris doesnā€™t hesitate to shoot back a, ā€œYou peaked in high school,ā€, but still. Y i k e s. You canā€™t convince me someoneā€™s turned over a new leaf when they say something like that.
Lara Jeanā€™s dad (forgot his name; gonna call him Dr. Covey) is as unremarkable as ever, and his new wife (forgot her name, tooā€¦ Trisha? Trina? Eh, something like that) isā€¦ unsettling. I mean, I get that theyā€™re all loved up and twitterpatted, but thereā€™s something about all the smiling theyā€™ve got going on that chills me to the bone.
Also, Trisha/Trina kinda looks like TikTokā€™s ThatVeganTeacher and it bothers me.
Another huge problem with this movie even being made is that the series never had enough plot to continue onto a trilogy. Lara Jeanā€™s letters are what the plots of the first and second movies revolve around; the third only mentions them in passing. The final love letter from Peter was a cute callback, but thereā€™s a massive continuity issue with the first two movies and this last one- both character and plot-wise.
Maybe Iā€™m not articulating this clearly enough, so Iā€™ll use an example: take Harry Potter, for example. Harryā€™s main goal throughout the series is defeating Voldemort. And it takes all seven books for him to get there, to finally achieve this.
Lara Jeanā€™s goal in the first movie changes midway; from keeping up the faƧade with Peter so she can avoid the crap with the rest of the letters getting out, to making her fake relationship real. It forms a bridge with the second movie; the letter that went out to John Ambrose, and her dithering between Peter and perfection (Iā€™m not sorry). But what does the third movie have to do with any of this?
There were way too many music montages. You couldnā€™t go five minutes without a random pop song playing in the background, and it was annoying as hell. Donā€™t Look Back in Anger was w a s t e d on this stupid film. The artsy scenery shots were even worse- no, I donā€™t give a fuck about the New York skyline or a birdā€™s eye view of whatever vehicle Lara Jean is in. A few shots of Seoul wouldā€™ve sufficed; the rest was overkill. This movie is way too damn long already (almost 2 entire hours!!!); cut out a couple of those. No one cares.
I thought theyā€™d pull the whole Aladdin trope with character-A-keeps-trying-to-tell-character-B-the-truth-about-a-lie-B-believes-in-about-A-but-B-keeps-interrupting, but Lara Jean (typing her name out is annoying, why couldnā€™t she have a single name, like both of her sisters?) comes clean earlier than I expected. Peterā€™s reaction about LJ not getting into Stanford isā€¦ uncharacteristically mature? No ā€œWhy did you lie to me?ā€, no accusations, not an ounce of betrayal. Which I did not expect from a guy whoā€™s a little bitch for the greater part of book one (I really donā€™t like Book Peter, in case you couldnā€™t tell). I know fuck-all about book threeā€™s Peter, so I canā€™t tell if he really did adopt this mature, well-adjusted persona, or the movie did it to make Peter seem like less of a dick (like they did it with the sextape-that-wasnā€™t-a-sextape in the first installment).
On a sidenote, how do these main characters in YA books get into really good colleges with zero to no visible effort? These arseholes fuck around for the entirety of the story and have way too much going on to actually do schoolwork, but they waltz into Ivy Leagues at the end. And apparently, Iā€™m not the only one bothered by this.
Thereā€™s something to be said about how the movies donā€™t really sexualize minors (characters who are minors, to be fair. None of the MCs look anything like teenagers), though. Itā€™s almost weird to see them not getting drunk and partying and having sex all the time. Maybe thatā€™s why Lara Jean trying to get her hand on Peterā€™s dick felt so stilted and awkward (I cringed so hard when she kept trying to touch him and he kept pushing her hand away, holy shit).
And the kissing. Itā€™s to be expected from a romance film, but there was so. Much. Kissing.
The amount of product placements (ā€¦ actually, I could count only two: Apple and a pair of Beats headphones Lara Jean puts on at one point, but the movie shoved so many iPhones in my face that Iā€™m obligated to exaggerate) wouldā€™ve made anti-capitalist Chris mad.
Iā€™m guessing this all takes place in a parallel universe, sans the coronavirus. Still, being in quarantine this past year and being socially awkward for every other one, it was agonizing seeing everyone so close together in NYC. When Peter kissed the ball (lol) (I have the sense of humor of a straight boy in middle school, donā€™t judge me) when him and Lara Jean go bowling, I had a visceral reaction. And what are the odds of Peter meeting his estranged dad at the very same bowling alley?
Speaking of Peterā€™s daddy issues (Iā€™ve written ā€œHardin but dilutedā€ in my notes; I watched this movie at, like, 1 AM; Iā€™m not entirely sure what was going through my head at that point)- I hated how they guilt-tripped Peter into giving his father another chance. In the wise words of Hannah Montana, everybody makes mistakes- but leaving your wife and two kids for another woman is pretty far from a little oopsie on Mr. Kavinskyā€™s part. I donā€™t blame Peter for hating him, and Iā€™m not in a place to judge whether Mr. Kavinsky (does he get a first name?) should be forgiven or not, but I feel like they let him off too easy and made Peter seem like a misunderstood teenager with anger issues for not accepting Mr. Kavinskyā€™s (crappy) apology at once.
And it adds nothing to the story at all; Mr. Kavinsky peaces out after having one (01) coffee with his firstborn, and heā€™s never seen again. If youā€™re going to introduce a subplot, make it tie into the main storyline- the very least you could do is make it an important enough part of the story to have more than 10 minutes of the run time. It makes no sense as to why theyā€™d bring up Peterā€™s dad in this last film, when heā€™s already gone through two perfectly fine. I guess it was a ā€˜tying everything upā€™ partā€¦ even though no one cared.
Lara Jeanā€™s handwriting is surprisingly ugly for someone whoā€™s written that many love letters. And her styling took a definite nosedive; her outfits in the first movie were so effing cute, but now theyā€™re justā€¦ meh.
There are so many conversations and lines that the writers mustā€™ve thought sounded good enough for someone to type out the quote in curly font and slap it on a screenshot from the movie to post on Instagram, but when it comes to the actual delivery, they just soundedā€¦ weird.
Peter says one time near the beginning of the film, ā€œYou know what Iā€™m looking forward to the most in college? Never having to say goodnight,ā€ because he expects him and Lara Jean to get into the same college.
But I guess the word they shouldā€™ve used was ā€˜good-byeā€™, because this just makes him sound stupid.
At one point, Lara Jean asks Kitty how much Kittyā€™s gonna miss her when she goes off to college, and Kitty says, ā€œA four.ā€ Later on, she confesses, ā€œIā€™m gonna miss you a twelve, Lara Jean,ā€ and all I could think was, ā€œBut weā€™re endgame, Archie!ā€
(In hindsight, I probably shouldnā€™t let people know Iā€™ve watched Riverdale; it lessons my credibility.)
Still, there remains some good to be found: all the baked goods looked very delicious and made me crave chocolate chip cookies. Peter wearing the socks Lara Jean gifted him at the beginning of the movie was a cute gesture, and Lara Jean giving Peter her teal hatbox? The one she kept her love letters in? Was so? Cute? Help?
And hey, itā€™s a clichĆ© thatā€™s been done to death, but Iā€™m always a sucker for that part in movies where the girl walks down the stairs in a pretty dress with her hand on the banister and the boy turns around and his mouth falls open and all he can say is, ā€œWow,ā€- and this film did not disappoint! Not to mention how cute both Lara Jeanā€™s and Chrisā€™s prom dresses were.
Dr. Covey and Trisha/Trinaā€™s wedding was cute, too- I struggled to decide whether Kitty wearing a necklace that says ā€˜feministā€™ and a tux is a bit too on-the-nose, but Iā€™ve decided that itā€™s nothing to get my knickers all in a twist about (for clarification: itā€™s not the necklace or the crossdressing that made me debate this; I just wish they didnā€™t make a big deal out of it- I wish they didnā€™t have Kitty and Lara Jean get into an argument about her not wearing a dress, if that makes sense?).
And the final letter- the one from Peter to Lara Jean- I ate that shit up; it was so, so, so cute.
In conclusion (why is it so easy for me to crank out 3k about my thoughts on a Netflix movie and yet when it comes to English Lit. at school, Iā€™d stare at a blank sheet of foolscap for ages?), did I enjoy the movie? Not really. There were parts of it that I liked, but it was overall too boring and I kept wishing Iā€™d watched the new SKZ Code episode instead every few minutes.
But that doesnā€™t mean that it was bad. I kinda feel a little sad, actually, now that Lara Jean and Peterā€™s story has come to a close; To All the Boys Iā€™ve Loved Before, the first movie, is one of my favorites, and bitch though I might about them, the kinda grew on meā€¦ like an innocent plant, at first, but then like a fungus. Not a parasitic fungus, just not mutualistic, eitherā€¦ kind of like a commensal.
Maybe I should stop with the biology similes.

She-ra Season 4 review!
So ya girl binged season 4 because I had to and here is my review! Thereā€™s spoilers, so beware of you havenā€™t watched it!
- I really loved how Glimmer expressed her feelings of anger to her friends during her coronation. The fact that her friends were dodging around the subject about her mother being gone was frustrating and even though they had good intentions, Iā€™d feel angry too.Ā 
- DOUBLE TROUBLE IS THE BEST AND I LOVE THEM. THEY ARE SO BAD IN THE BEST WAY. THEY ARE SO OVERLY DRAMATIC BUT FUCK Iā€™D LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THEM IN THE NEXT SEASON. Plus it was really really nice to hear they/them pronouns used so effortlessly.Ā Ā 
-Mermista being into Murder Mysteries and being a detective? Hell freaking YES. Seriously, she is so cute. First Sea-ra now this? Gold.
- Mermista coping with her depression in a bubble bath with ice cream? Mood.
-Perfuma admitting that she hates cacti. It was funny but at the same time, endearing because we got to see more of her weak points. I also loved her bonding session with Huntara.Ā 
- Highkey sad we didnā€™t get to see more of Huntara but at least she didnā€™t just disappear.Ā 
-GLIMMER HOW THE FUCK DO YOU TRUST SHADOW WEAVER??? I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS. LIKE I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO BE STRONGER BUT THEREā€™S OTHER SORCERERS LIKE YOUR FUCKING AUNT.Ā 
-Glimmer wanting to be a good queen is normal and I respect her for wanting the best for her kingdom but I disliked her so much in this season. How can you take lessons from the same person that mentally and emotionally abused Adora as well as tortured you?
- Adora crying when Glimmer said that it was her fault that Angella was gone? Bruh I was ready to cry too (and throw hands with Glimmer because what she said was completely unreasonable).Ā 
-Bow, Swiftwind and Seahawk bonding and Bow saying how tired he is of constantly being positive was amazing. I really love that the writers acknowledged that heā€™s always the one keeping the peace and that it is draining to do.
-Watching Scorpia get ready for a day in the Horde is what I aspire to be in the morning.Ā 
- Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio bonding during that spore storm? My heart was living.
- Lonnie, Kyle and Rogelio witnessing Catra get angry and seeing her hair poof out of her head piece made her look so much like Shadow Weaver I was genuinely scared.
-Not to be dramatic but seeing Catra without her head piece and in pajamas literally made me scream.Ā 
- aLSO SCORPIA CALLING CATRA OUT ON HER BULLSHIT??Ā ā€œYouā€™re not a good friend.ā€ Had me deaddddd. The look on Catraā€™s face said a thousand words.
- Also Catra slowly losing having mental break downs in the Horde was so sad to watch. Sheā€™s so alone and doesnā€™t know how to engage with other people. Whenever she tried to talk to Lonnie, Kyle or Rogelio, she snapped at them and pushed them away.
- When she started to miss Scorpia and look for her my heart broke.
-MARA IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND COMPASSIONATE I LOVE HER!Ā 
-Perfuma getting along with Scorpia almost immediately and adding that flower to the back of the vines?? I SHIP SCORFUMA/PERFPIA
- MICAH IS BACK AND OH...HE EATS BUGS.
- Lighthope being the villain-thing all along was kinda sad. You could see that she loved Mara but her programming made it difficult.Ā 
- Catra feeling hopeless at the end of fighting Hordak and DT calling her out for not wanting to be bad was poetic cinema. Catra you fucked up and you know it.Ā 
- OH SHIT Horde Prime. Oh damn heā€™s reprogramming Hordak now? And Catra lowkey saving Glimmer was quite the move to protect someone she doesnā€™t like.
All in all, I really liked this season. Was a little sad that there wasnā€™t much interaction with Catra and Adora (not just because I ship them) but because after the hectic season 3 finale, we could all tell Adora was done with Catraā€™s shit. I was hoping weā€™d see a fight between them but if that was in exchange for character development for other characters like Perfuma and Scorpia then I couldnā€™t be more happy. Iā€™m happy that everyone is getting their own type of development. It makes the characters richer and the story overall enjoyable.

hxh RESUME
back at it again w/the hxh, heres my recap of the last few epsĀ 
ok so i totally forgot to recap that one ep at the end of the hunter exam arc lets see what i remember from like 3 wks ago lollll
i thiiiiink i left off in the middle of ep 21 lol. i really dont remember much tbh so im gonna skim the ep to refresh
exposition time! its so wild that if you lose ur hunter card That It like u cant get another or retake the exam hgabjdfuhasjf LsĀ 
also the fact that you can sell it is rlly interestingĀ 
leorio & kurapika backing up gon as he confronts illumi again :ā€™) good lil familyĀ 
illumi u fool. gon is a shounen protag. he can do anything he sets his mind to
the fact that gon thanks illumi for telling him where killua is....hes literally THAT polite like...what a perfect boyĀ 
hisoka just fuckgin stepping out of the shadows....ok bitchĀ 
the fact that gon fucked up illumis arm that bad with one hand....boi is STRONKĀ 
AUGH AUGH AUGHHHH HISOKA IS SO CREEPY AUGHHH I HATE THIS BIIIITCHĀ 
ok but like is illumi implying that hisoka is a fr p*do bc uhhhhh thats so nasty oh lord. pls stay away from gon, and killua, and like everyone as a matter of factĀ 
EWWWWWWWWWW I HATE HISOKA HES SO NASTY. PLS STOP MAKING P*RNO FACES IN RELATION TO 12 YR OLD BOYS.Ā 
no but rlly what IS hisoka gonna do now. im assuming heā€™ll show up p soon (tho probs not in the zoldyc arc like i thought bc its shorter than i thought)Ā 
ok the fact that they have the internet is hilariously wild to me for some reason....it just seems like this would be one of those fantasy shounen worlds with very little tech (a la one piece) but lol nope we can just google shit hvbhjdhjdfks
gon: it was fun when you beat me up for 3 hours and broke my arm! seeya dude!
i love gon he is so chill and doesnt seem to hold grudges except when it really matters (like hisoka and illumi)Ā 
hanzo has.....ninja business cards....thats amazing hvbhsdjkujfnd
dont worry pokkle, leorio was basically carried thru the hunter exam by various people and also won by default. he still deserves his license tho
an exotic game hunter sounds pretty cool! i wonder if weā€™ll see pokkle again. kinda doubt it? that sounds pretty firmly non-combat based, and therefore probably pretty far from any plot lol
so gons dad is a bigshot huh.....whatever hed be a bigger deal if he didnt abandon his son tbhĀ 
gon swinging his feet on the bench....sooo cuteĀ 
so ging could restore a bunch of ruins but he couldnt raise his son...ok
im just gonna be bitter at this guy for abandoning the most perfect boy vhbhjfbsjhdhbfsk sorry dude but being a good hunter doesnt make up for being a shit fatherĀ 
gon is so precious ;_;Ā 
WHAT WAS SATOTZ GONNA SAY TO GON???
why does it look like theyre googling things on MS paintĀ 
ah yes, padokea, on the continent of Africa But SidewaysĀ 
idk if i talked abt it before but the world map is WILD lmao i love how its all the continents/landmasses scrambled around.....im super curious abt that weird island in the top center of the map, thats the only thing that immediately sticks out as not having a real life equivalentĀ 
the music in this show is so charming :ā€™) i love the main theme smĀ 
gon is sooo precious i literally cant get over it. and his hurry to rescue killua is so sweet....and i love how naturally charming/charismatic gon is....pretty much everyone he meets likes him, especially leorio and kurapika, who basically adopted him after knowing him for like a day, and continue to be completely taken by him
ok wtf is satotz & co talking abt......do they know something abt ging that they arent allowed to tell gon???? shouldnt gon have access to the same info now that hes a hunter? i need ANSWERS
i bet this whole thing abt the hunter exam not rlly being over is a metaphor abt the hunter exam NEVER truly ending bc youre always being tested, or st
ok the ED continues to be So Much like especially the last shot where the 4 main characters look like theyre posing for a JC Penny catalog while the singer goes FULL metal-screamo
ok ruth and i just rewatched the next two eps woohoo
i love that there are tourist busses that take people to the front gates so they can like pose for pics and stuff vhbhjafdsfkj and its likeĀ ā€˜ah yes here are where the local assassins live!ā€™ thats so funny yet it makes so much sense
i love that leorio passed tf out during the bus ride. big big moodĀ 
gon is so cute...hes like ok yes i understand that weā€™re not supposed to go in but i think they can make an exception for me bc im very polite.Ā 
those 2 dudes r so ugly and so dead god bless
that bigass buster sword....sir pleaseĀ 
ruth and i rlly thot that the old guard guy was gonna turn out to be grandpa zoldyk or st lol
the fact that the dog managed to eat All their flesh but left some clothes....skillĀ 
also the dog is named mike but it sounds like the guy is calling him miku hvbjdfssk
this cant be the first time some morons have been killed here likeeeeĀ 
i cant believe nobody has visited the zoldyk estate in 20 years damn they all rlly b havin no friends. depressingĀ 
the whole gates thing is wild. also that part where gon gets the math wrong on the weight.....BIG mood kiddoĀ 
ok the part where gons on the phone w/the butler is soooo good oh man. i love how gon just calmly dials the phone again after hes hung up on the first time and then YELLS....and leorio and kurapikas faces r so goodĀ 
also the butler guy unfortunately has a point, it isnt foolproof that gon is here Legit....but he IS let him see his tiny bf :(Ā 
as ruth pointed out, the butler guy is reminiscent of kuro from one piece. same vibesĀ 
maybe if leorio was jacked like he is in the manga/1999 anime he couldve opened the gate that first time around....LsĀ 
god i love this shows approach to Everything so far,....as ruth put it, half the time its likeĀ ā€˜oh wow they should do [x]/i wish theyd do [x] but ofc they wont cause its a shounenā€™ but then they DO do [x] and its like damn thats dopeĀ 
anyways i love how gon is increasingly approaching situations with his Plucky Shounen Protag Attitude in full swing, and he pretty much gets shot down every time. BUT his general determination to see killua bc killuas his FRIEND and hes gonna RESCUE HIM is still a good and pure motivating forceĀ 
like here, when hes climbing over the wall and hes like whatever i dont wanna have to deal w/being tested thats bullshit, i wanna see killua, my intentions are pure, im gonna try my luck with the dog....i was like ok yeah heā€™ll get over and like tame or defeat the dog and the guard will be suitably impressed bc nobodys ever done That before, and then gon will continue on to get killuaĀ 
but NOPE instead the guard calls him down and explains that gon Will Die if he tries that, and then the guard will die too for letting that happen. and gon is like oh shit my actions have consequences for people other than me, wow.Ā 
and THEN the guard takes them in to meet the dog. and hot DAMN that is a scary creature. not even really a dog tbh. they did an excellent job making the dog Legit Scary and not just like, big and flashy looking....those eyes are so soulless, and the proportions are freakyĀ 
and the guard says exactly what i was thinking - that gon would use his Country Boy Woodland Creature Skills to workaround the dog....but then the subversion - this creature is NOTHING like the woodland critters gon is probably used to dealing with. theres no way gon stood a chance here. the guard just saved him from a really unfortunate deathĀ 
i love all the Super Heavy Stuff in the servant house that seems so inconvenient vbhjdkfasjfld. also forgot to mention earlier but the guard guy being Absolutely Ripped was wild and kinda funnyĀ 
training montage! gon continues to be so cute. and i love so much how leorio and kurapika are like no, you rest, weā€™ll take care of this. good parents!!!!
and then!!!! they sync up and use the power of gay love to almost open the gate. but then gon uses the power of Improbable Shounen Protag Healing Speed to toss that arm sling off and help out
i feel like leorio was side-eyeing gon like w8 a sec u broke that arm like a few days ago that aint right.....
oh man i almost forgot abt that scene with the zoldyks torturing killua :( :( this poor kid he doesnt deserve thatĀ 
also mom zoldyck seems truly awful but i must say her aesthetic does fuck. the victorian-lookin outfit paired with the futuristic cyclops visor thing....excellent. also im betting this face bandages are from killua cutting her faceĀ 
this family is so fucked up hvbsjdhjfbakdfn
killua telling his mom that gon is definitely gonna make it there :ā€™) hes got such unshakable faith in his bf thats so good.....
back w/the gang, and immediately they run into more trouble in the form of the young girl butler, whose name i dont know, but i love her....her design is SO good oh man. a non-caricature black person? who also isnt sexualized? in MY anime??????
Ā i love how gons approach to conflict is currentlyĀ ā€˜let more powerful person beat me up for hours straight in hopes that they get tired or something idk broā€™ like....i love him lol, is it in an effort to show how determined he is? he doesnt even try to dodge her blows or get around her....id be tryin to hop that fence lolĀ 
oh shit the tiny zoldyk kid from earlier is spying on them....she was w/the mom so im sure thats not good
when he punches the rock part and it breaks....strong boiiiiĀ 
oh man that little flashback from when killua first came back and told her that he made a friend ;_; bruhĀ 
i love butler girl :( she wants to let gon but knows it isnt allowed....and as soon as she starts to waver BAM here comes mom zoldyck JFC that was so sudden and jarring....im assuming butler girl isnt dead cause that would be lame and anticlimacticĀ 
also IS THAT NEN??? NEN>>>??? NEN??? HM? NEN?????????Ā 
im so annoying abt nen i need to make one of thoseĀ ā€˜is this a pigeon?ā€™ memes w/ā€™is this nen?ā€™ bc thats me anytime anything remotely weird happens lmao
i do think its rlly nen this time tho
anyways shit is wild, cant wait to meet the full zoldyck familyĀ 
PREDICTION CORNER:Ā 
as i said above i doubt hisoka will show up now bc this arc is a lot shorter than i anticipated. also im doubting that illumis even gonna show up honestlyĀ 
i think weā€™re gonna have this OP for a while, as the part just at the end shows gon and hisoka fighting in what looks to be an arena, and ik the next arc is the heavens arena arc, which im assuming is the tournament arc....
also i have no idea what that weird building in the OP is but my guess is that its the building w/the heavens arena in it bc its tall and,,,,heavenĀ 
i predict there wont be much fighting in this little arc bc how tf else is it so short. at this point i rlly think gon is just gonna grab killua and go lmao. im super curious abt how thats gonna go down, considering that killua is currently strung up just bc he wont apologize...so i cant imagine his family would just let him leave w/gon. i wonder if killua will fight them, or if gons determination will impress them and then theyll let killua go (doubt it)
thats basically it....weā€™ll see abt the next few eps holla
