“You’re not being serious.” You scoffed, almost grinning, but when you saw the look on his face— everything melted into dread and disappointment. He stared at you with stern-looking eyes before shutting the door behind him. You heard sharp noises emerge from the door, meaning he locked it.

“You’ve got to be joking.” You laughed dryly before your body hit the bed. It was fluffy and felt like a warm hug. A stark contrast to the situation you found yourself stuck in. It was unbelievable, really. You were seriously to marry a Sith Lord. A slave to the dark side. Sure, he was handsome, but only as handsome as an apple could be.

Alas, you were far too tired to think about the whole ordeal. Your eyes grew heavy and it was becoming increasingly harder not to nod off… and finally, it grew all black.

(Break)

You woke up to the darkness of space creeping in through the single window you had in the room. It was impossible to tell how long you’d slept and how long you’d be staying there. Nobody would tell you a thing, and the Dark Lord would certainly never give you any answers.

A sudden knock pulled you out of your little trance, and the door burst open. In walked two troopers. They marched in, picking you up from the bed with a strong force. Didn’t Vader mention I’d stay here for a week? What’s going on? Ironically enough, you decided not to struggle or fight back. It’s not as if going back home was a choice anymore. You knew the dark side wasn’t forgiving anyway. 

“I’m not a rag doll. I know how to walk,” you complained, as you felt your body sliding across the cold, polished floor. When there was no response, you scoffed. It was loud enough for them to hear, but it wasn’t like they cared. They were simply following orders like mindless robots. It was as if it was their input.

After passing through several corridors and riding multiple elevators, you finally found yourself being dragged along to a dimly lit dining room. The layout was nothing fancy. A large table and chairs to go along with it. On one end sat Vader. He still donned his pitch-black suit, with his eyes trained on you. The way his hair fell around his face and the way his Adam’s Apple bopped as he gazed at you— it was to swoon over. You were made to sit opposite him. You didn’t dare move. You knew he could end me with the flick of his fingers.

“I hope you have an appetite.” Maker, his voice. It was rough yet smooth, velvety yet rigid… you were drowning in the octaves.

“Not much of an appetite when I’ve just been taken hostage.” No, you couldn’t give in. He was handsome to be sure, but he was still a ruthless sith.

“Hostage? You’re not a hostage, love.” Love. What was he playing at?

“I’m… not?” Your eyebrows were furrowed along with a scrunch of your nose.

“Hostage implies you’re here against your will and that I await someone to negotiate for you… I plan to keep you.” Though his words seemed daring and almost devious, his facial expression and tone told you a different story. He was a wall. Cold and without feeling. He seemed serious and determined.

“Why me? How did you know my father? Why did you want my family killed?” You furrowed your eyebrows. His gaze remained fixed on you, as he breathed heavily and got up from his seat. His boots hit the floor in a threatening manner. When he stopped in front of you, his gloved hand held your chin softly. So soft that you almost felt comfortable in his presence.

“Curiosity killed the cat, princess.” As you let your head be lifted ever so gently, you saw the stark contrast between his touch and his demeanour. His stare was blank and icy. It was as if no life existed behind his eyes. Eyes that were otherwise so… never mind. 

“Luckily, I’m not a cat,” Bold. Quite bold. Did you care? No. You had about as much control over him as he did you. He wasn’t going to kill you. No, if he wanted to, he would’ve done so in a heartbeat. He wanted to wed you. To have you as his bride. As sickening as the idea of that was, at least you wouldn’t die anytime soon. 

“You’re quite carefree for someone who’s lost her entire family and been taken against her will.” You could’ve sworn you saw a faint smirk swiftly make an appearance before being washed out by his brooding expression.

Oh, but there was something about his face. It did seem familiar. You couldn’t place your finger on it. There wasn’t anything that stood out in particular, but oh there was something about his face.

“I’m talking to you,” he spoke in a rough voice, before tightening his grip on your face, burying his fingers into your cheeks

“I’m not scared of you, Sith.” A grin. His lips contorted into a wide smile as he let out a scoff,

“You’ve got moxie. I’ll give you that.” Your eyes met his. Force, if I had ever seen a man—

“Moxie? I beg to differ. Why would I be scared of a lowly Sith Lord like you? You’re not even the emperor. Are you even strong enough to—”

“Princess,” he breathed as he snaked his hand tightly around your neck, the pads of his fingers snuggled themselves into your soft skin. The tension was palpable. It could be cut with a knife. The way you continued to defy him and resist him…he hated it. You were such a pretty little thing, but so stubborn too. Too set in your ways.

“We all have our… limits. You’re starting to test mine, your highness.” Something about him addressing you as ‘highness’ clashed so hard with the circumstances you found yourself in; it gave you whiplash.

“I want answers…” your whisper came out shaky. Not because you were starting to lose your footing. No, it was his grip on your throat. If anything, you almost found him humorous. He was creating a paradox and running around in circles; essentially embarrassing himself.

“I don’t want to give you any.” You didn’t understand. You couldn’t. His logic was deeply flawed and there was no wrapping your head around where it started or ended. It was a mess. A tangled mystery for you to sit and braid together to form a clear path.

“I don’t want to marry you, but here we are.”

“Let me rephrase. I can’t.” His gaze diverted to the floor. He was clearly struggling. Either to recall or decide whether or not to do so.

“I don’t understand.” Your throat was slowly released, as he walked towards the door to the room.

“Can you at least tell me why you chose me? Out of all the women in this galaxy… Why me?” Your feet had somehow carried you off to go after him. He walked with purpose through several corridors, taking swings and turns to try and throw you and the question off.

“Please?” Admittedly, you were getting impatient. Desperate. 

“Say, would you like to know how I went about ending your father’s life?” He suddenly turned around with a menacing look on his face. It wasn’t maniacal. It was as if you were staring into a blank wall.

“Excuse me?” What the hell is wrong with him? Your eyes darted to the floor before you lifted your head back up to meet his.

“I asked you if you wanted to know how I killed your father. How I—“

“No, I heard you the first time. How does that have anything to do with my question?” He smirked for a moment before his smile faltered,

“You’re completely unphased. Didn’t think the king was that much of a horrible father.” How could he address your father like that? With that knowledge? How did he know your father like that?

“Yeah, well… he was. So give me an answer to my question. Why me?” The two of you stopped in front of a large white door. It had a face recognition lock on it.

“Because… I know you.” His voice dropped an octave as he stared at your reaction. You weren’t shocked, just confused.

He scanned his face and the entrance to a dark room was revealed. You were just about to follow him before he turned around,

“Do you wish to retire with me for the night?” What? Your brow bunched up together and you lightly shook your head,

“No… of course not.”

“Then I suggest you stop following me.” A grin was apparent on his lips.

“Evening, princess.” The door closed behind him and you were left standing there; completely dumbfounded. However, this unlocked a window for you to walk around freely, trying to find a way to escape. There didn’t seem to be any stormtroopers around. Marrying a Sith was that of nightmare fuel. It didn’t matter how gorgeously his hair fell around his face and how his scar elevated his overall appearance. He was a Sith Lord.

You needed to find a way out. By all means necessary.

PART: 1 ; 2 ; 3 ; 4 ; 5 ; 6 ; 7 ; 8 ; 9 ; 10

· · ─────── · 𖥸 · ─────── · ·

The first time the Sullys visited the Tayrangi clan, you were suspicious. You weren’t a big fan of Toruk Makto, there were rumors about him, rumors that you didn’t like him and that you were looking down on the Omatikaya family. Unlike your mother, the Olo'eykte Ikeyni, one of the few women to be clan leaders and Tsahik at the same time, you did not believe that you should be on the side of a man from another world. It also bothered you that the Sullys left their eldest son to be trained by your father, who, ironically, loved to teach young people the art of hunting.

You rolled your eyes as the girls of your clan looked at the son of Toruk Makto as if he were a living legend, a god among Na'vi, to you he was simply a na'vi with demon blood. You still remembered how your clan had offered shelter to the fleeing or homeless na'vi because of the war brought above all by the father of that Omatikayan. You growled slightly as the boy walked over to you, then turned around and walked away from him, taking a seat next to your parents, checking out the Sullys.

"My daughter. The future Olo'eykte of the Tayrangi Clan and healer of the village. She will be the guide of your son Neteyam, showing him the arts of this clan and our way." Your mother’s words stabbed you in the back, and you looked at her like it might change her mind, which it didn’t. You looked at your father, Tsentey, who, though he looked back, made you think he agreed with your mother.

You took a deep breath and walked away, trying to stay calm. You hated the idea of being the leader of that half-demon, but you couldn’t help but disobeying would put you in a position where the clan would look down on you and in Eywa’s eyes you would be undeserving to be Olo'eykte.

When evening came, your parents returned to your house and looked at you slightly disappointed.

"Ma 'ite… I know it's not something that brings joy to your heart, but it is your duty as next Olo'eykte" said your father, placing a hand on your shoulder, smiling gently, while your mother looked hard at you.

"There is no time for whims. This is the will of Eywa. An Olo'eykte is already weaker than an Olo'eyktan man. If you do not help the future Olo'eyktan of Omatikaya, someone else will and you will be just a Na'vi with a lower title" Your mother said, approaching you. " Ma 'ite. You are strong. You can do it and when the day comes, you will lead this clan, show them who you are" continued and then lifted your face from your chin. "You're a warrior. Remember who you are y/n te Skxumew Ikeyni'ite. You'll be the second Olo'eykte of all Pandora and everyone will know your name. More than Toruk Makto. But you have to make sacrifices, put pride aside. You have a goal Ma Oare" Your mother put her forehead on yours and you both closed your eyes, then nodded.

"I will." You said with conviction to see your mother smile, she was right. This was just one of the trials to reach your place in the clan.

The night passed quickly and the next day you were ready to face that demon blood, you just had to train him and then after a few months send him back to his house, to the Omatikaya. Your mother encouraged you when she saw you awake as you walked past the tree house, then headed to where Neteyam was staying, finding him already outside.

"Follow me." You hissed, then walked through the village to get out and into the woods. " What weapon can you use?" You continued without turning around to see where Neteyam was.

"Knives and Bows." He replied by keeping the pace "However I am-"

You stopped him, you stopped yourself, and then you turned around and looked him in the eye.

"I know who you are. Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan" You said to then observe it. " Bows and knives? Your arms are weak" You said approaching him, touching his arm. " Your chest tight, but you have a good posture." The boy watched you turn around and talk about him. "Do you have an Ikran?" You look him in the eye when you talk to him.

"Yes, I have one." His voice was still, as if the words you used didn’t hurt him at all.

"Can you swim?"

"Pretty good" Neteyam looked at you enchanted, smiling slightly

"Tsk. You’re like a parultsyìp. I have to teach you everything." You said sighing and then continued walking until you got to the cliff that provided a wonderful view of the sea.

"The Tayrangi clan is famous for being skilled riders of Ikran, the best. We interpret the wind, understand the sea and respect the great predators and the Ikran. You have to learn to fight with more weapons, to swim, to understand the wind and the animals that surround us" You said and then sit on the cliff, breathing in the fresh air.

"I’m here for this… what’s your name?" Neteyam’s voice was sweet as he sat next to you.

"You’re not here to make friends or get to know me. Call me Karyu." Your detached and disinterested voice made Neteyam smile, who already found you interesting.

"Karyu? So you won’t tell me your name?" he said, slightly laughing.

"Not relevant for training. Now silence. Listen to the wind"

That day you taught Neteyam the basics of understanding the wind, explaining in detail how to use this to fly better, to understand when it will start to rain or other natural events. The boy, different from what you thought, listened to you interested, asking questions and coming to understand what you were explaining. You couldn’t deny it.

"For today we are finished, tomorrow we will start with the proper guidance of the Ikran, the Omatikaya use strange methods to approach the banshees" You said, Going from the cliff and stretching you.

"Did I do well?" he asked curiously, as he stood up.

"Discreetly, you are not completely Skxawng." You shrugged, indifferent. " These are things that our children learn after a week. Half a day is something"

"Something? Does that mean I can now know your name?"

"No. Why do you care so much?" your voice was sore.

"Just curiosity" Neteyam smiled and approached you

"Hmm… if you can get back to the village before the eclipse, I’ll tell you my name. Good luck" You said, and then you went into the forest, going home alone, about an hour before the eclipse, it was impossible for her to return in time, not knowing the way back. You prayed that a Palulukan would tear him to pieces, not to have him back but you could not wish this on a son of Eywa, after all even a Palulukan deserved a better meal.

Some of your companions gathered to wait for Neteyam after hearing about that little challenge, you smiled satisfied when the eclipse came and Neteyam was not back yet. " What if he’s dead?" " Maybe he found a Palulukan." "Or he got lost" Voices like this filled the air, you shrugged and turned to leave. At that moment you heard the girls cheering and shouting the name of Neteyam happy, seeing him unharmed.

You turned and looked him in the eye, after all he still lost the challenge, so the victory belonged to you. Neteyam came up with a flower.

"There’s already been an eclipse. You lost, so I don't-" You stopped when Neteyam put the flower behind your ear, smiling at seeing you with it in your hair.

"I would have won, but I saw this Sun Lily and it reminded me of your eyes, so I looked for the most beautiful, wasting time" He said smiling, shrugging. " I’ll discover your name one day, ma Karyu"

You observed him without saying anything, you did not expect such a thing. He had preferred to lose the challenge to pick a flower to give you and did not seem upset by this, indeed, he smiled carelessly. You did not understand at that moment why your heart accelerated the beat, or why you did not immediately remove the flower, or why now you looked at it without disgust or repugnance. You recovered from your thoughts when you heard some girls being jealous of you for that little gesture made by Prince Omatikaya. You clenched your jaw and looked at him.

"You still lost." you said with the little coolness you had left.

"I did, but does it matter?" He replied promptly, and then continued, "It was worth it, the flower suits you very well."

You bit the inside of your cheek and then you turned around and left "See you tomorrow." You said dryly before saying goodbye and going home.

"She’s beautiful, isn’t she?" Neteyam said to some of the clan’s boys.

"Bro, shs's the type of na'vi who eats you alive." one of the guys laughed.

"I know, and I like it." Neteyam concluded

You reported to your mother and she immediately noticed the flower in your hair.

"It’s very nice, where did you get it?" she asked, placing the flower in your hair.

"Just a stupid gift." You confessed before you took it off and left it in your mother’s hand, going to a more secluded place on one of the tree branches.

"skxawng. just a vrrtep skxawng." You said to yourself while leaning your body against the tree. " Ma Eywa, please, Great mother, make sure he learns quickly and walks away." You asked as you watched the starry sky. " Give me a sign to bear him, because he’s a vrrtep," you said before you heard a woodsprite landing on the same ear where Neteyam’s flower used to be and then seeing it not far under the tree where you were sitting. You felt mocked, Eywa today was having fun putting everything against you, otherwise you won’t explain these coincidences.

The coup de grâce came when the branch broke, dropping you into Neteyam’s arms. If you could confirm that, Eywa was trying to make you do all these things. You sighed annoyed, crossing your arms when Neteyam looked at you to see if you were okay.

"Are you hurt? Is everything okay?" he asked concerned, checking you and clutching you accidentally.

"You can let me go. I’m fine." You answered a little sour.

"A thank you is welcome, Princess Tayrangi," Neteyam laughed, and then left you standing on the ground, watching you.

"Irayo…" you whispered quietly, turning your head to the side

"I don’t understand, can you repeat?" he said smiling

"what a skxawng…" you whispered softly. " I said Irayo." This time you said fast

"I still don’t understand, I really think you’ll have to repeat it," Neteyam laughed a little.

"Are you- Irayo." You said it out loud so he’d get it in his head, and then he’d snort right after.

"You are even more beautiful when you get angry, you know?" he said spontaneously, leaning against the tree, admiring your beauty.

You swirled your eyes, restraining yourself from splitting his nasal septum or something, but for the umpteenth time Eywa sent a signal, a woodsprite on Neteyam’s shoulder. You looked up and laughed frustrated.

"Listen carefully, I don’t know why my path is intertwined with yours. I don’t want to put up with you any more than I have to. This means that if you see me falling from a tree, let me fall, if you find flowers that remind you of me, leave them where they are, if you see me for the village avoid me" You said pointing your finger at Neteyam’s chest. "The only thing keeping me from completely avoiding you is my title and my parents. You’d be meal for Palulukan if it were up to me."

Neteyam opened his mouth to speak but you stopped him. "Don’t answer, it’s already decided. Learn quickly, I want you out of this village and away from me or my people. I don’t know why my parents sympathize with your family, but I don’t agree with them. Now, if you understand that you have to stay as far away from me as possible, nod."

The boy nodded, smiling amused, watching you get nervous.

"Good. See you tomorrow Neteyam." You said saying goodbye a second time to go home.

At that moment, all you wanted was for Neteyam to disappear, him and his manners, and take away that beautiful smile and those golden eyes. Fuck, no. You don’t have to think about it. You hate him, you hate his family, you must hate him… Do you hate him?

[umnitsa]

hii!! on that recent drabble prompt list, are you able to do 3 and 5 with hopper? maybe with reader that has healthy bodyweight but also body image issues and some people worsen it by making them feel like theyre overweight. i love your work btw and i hope to read whatever else you have in store!!

Hey, anon! I liked tackling this prompt; it's an important subject for me and, really... It doesn't matter in the end; you're never thin enough for some people, so don't worry. I say that as someone who tried a LOT to be 'thin enough'. So yes, very soft Hopper, established relationship, some sex. (and please, you can send me asks with anon commentaries if you want <3 I won't post it if you tell me not to, I just would love some feedback! <3)

***

“You haven’t even touched your food. What’s going on?” Hopper asked bluntly, pushing his plate and leaning towards you. “Something bothering you, honey?”

You looked down, sighing, then tapped your fingertips on the table and pushed your plate.

“Am I that transparent?” You asked softly, turning to him, your hands holding each other between your knees. You felt as shy and awkward as you could.

“I may be an idiot, but I’m not stupid.” He scooted closer and bopped your nose lightly with his index finger. You chuckled, as you always did, but you just sounded tired and sad this time. “Come on, you can tell me.”

He scooted his chair closer, extending a hand to the back of your chair. His massive presence was comforting, even with his worry for you. With a sigh, you raised your eyebrows.

“I heard some nasty comments at work.” You grimaced, rubbing your hands over your thighs.

You knew it shouldn’t bother you. It has been years since a nasty comment about your size got a raise from you, but this time it was particularly nasty. Not only the content of the comment but the way it was made. Just loud enough for you to hear, with some plausible deniability, if you got pissed and reacted.

People were the worse.

You didn’t react. You were too shocked. The woman ended the tirade about your fat ass with a throwaway comment about keeping a man.

To be honest, it wasn’t that important; you didn’t doubt Hopper’s feelings for you, and if you ever did, you just needed to look into his deep blue eyes, filled with concern, with love. But it always made you feel somewhat insecure about everything, the way these nasty people always sounded so sure.

Hopper grunted, standing up and holding his hand out for you. He made you stand up and pushed you gently into the bedroom.

“I hate that people do this to you.” He said softly, turning the lights off, leaving only the bedside lamp. He knew. He had gone through the same. “You don’t deserve it.”

You sighed, letting him take off your clothes, then his own; he quickly joined you on the bed, wrapping his arms around you. One of his hands grabbed your ass, which made you chuckle. Hopper loved grabbing your ass; it was always his first movement.

“You look like the women in the paintings… I really don’t like museums, but I liked those.” He chuckles softly, squeezing your flesh. You could feel him hardening against your thigh.

Hopper kissed you, his hands sliding against your skin, firm palms, strong fingers grabbing and massaging. He moaned as he crushed your body into his embrace, no skin left untouched.

“You’re the perfect size for me.” He chuckled, kneeling between your legs and positioning himself. You felt his cock against your pussy and whimpered. “You don't disappear under my hands.” He thrusted slowly into you, watching you gasp as you clenched around him. “You were built to take me, honey.”

His hips touched yours, and he kissed you as he stayed still. He nuzzled your cheek, then rested his forehead against yours. You felt his breath against your lips as he whispered; you wouldn’t forget his words for a long time.

“You were made for me. Everything around me looks so small, so fragile. Not you. You can take me.”

My (Pretty Quick) Review on Haven - Marianas Trench (2024)

PSA: So my plan is to write a total of probably 3 reviews of Haven. this one being the short one with just rating each song from 1-10 with small commentary. the second being an extension of this one with better commentary for each song, and the third being a review as an album in general instead of focusing on each song. I just have way too many thoughts and I don't want to overwhelm anyone with everything in one post. It also helps me keep my thoughts organized. I just want to join in the fun (despite me being a few weeks late to the party)

okie thanks! :D

Normal Life: ngl it took me a few listens to really like it. But when it hit, it HIT. Not the best opener in their discography tho. 8/10

Lightning and Thunder: i like it as a single, but kind of flops compared to the other songs in the album. Still a bop tho 6/10

I’m Not Getting Better: it took me a two relistens to like it. Again, good as a single but something about it just gives “FOR RADIO”. Can tell they drew some inspo from the 80s and seems a little Astoria-esque (still don’t know if I like it tho). 5/10

Down to You: first single that I automatically fell in love with. However, it sounds way too similar to Kid Laroi’s Stay in some parts and I don’t like that 💀 7/10

Now or Never: 😬 guys, I’ve seen your reviews and I was surprised to see this was a fan favorite. It was not mine (pls don’t kill me 💀). Lyrics,, a little cheesy. Production,, a little boring to me tbh. However not a bad song. Vocals are killer - as always - 4/10

Into the Storm: lyrics are nice (still a little cheesy tho). Production and composition, awesome ! Josh really worked his ass fr. Love the crescendos here. Sounds like it will be killer live. 7/10

Ancient History: another fan favorite for some reason that I was surprised with. Melodically: fan of the verses, not a fan of the chorus (more on that later). Saxophone goes HARD tho 🎷🎷 serviceable bop 5/10

Stand and Fight: pretty good song in the context of the album. Not so good standalone (a little debatable). Josh’s vocals made me tear up hear tho. Gets pretty inspiring 🥹 7/10

Turn and Run: same review as stand and fight except it’s inspiring in a different way. To me: (masterpiece theater II —> Masterpiece Theater 2009) = (turn and run —> Haven 2024) idk if that makes sense but it’s an analogy. Sounds like it’ll be killer in live 6/10

Worlds Collide: BANGER BANGER BANGER. I liked it when I first heard it but it took me til the third to be like “ 🥹I get it.” This song was made for ME. The masterpiece theater references made me tear up. The drama, the composition. Spectacular. However, in the context of the album, it gets held back. More on this song later. 9.75/10

Nights Like These: giving “story of tonight”. Sweet message. Sweet song. (Congrats to josh btw!)6/10

Remember Me By: SLAPS!! Straight up. Loved it as soon as I heard it. Catchy and love the 80s vibe here a lot more. Also reminds me of Try Me from his solo project. Certified BOP 9/10

Haven: KILLER OUTRO! Once more, marianas Trench knocks it out of the park with their outros. I think this is their most ambitious and musically complex song yet and it tears me up how far they’ve come 🥲🥲. 10/10⭐️

Final Notes: Solid album, not my favorite album. I have a bajillion more thoughts on this album because I’m batshit crazy about Marianas Trench. I’m so HAPPY we got new music and hopefully I get to see them soon!!! (my date got postponed 🥲)

Overall Rating: 8/10 💕

Stay tuned for my in depth analysis 👍

[msmargaretmurry]

music anon here!! hi!! how’s it going? heard you were kinda stressed so!! hope everything’s better!!

idk why but i’ve been on a weird mcstrome mood this past few days, and so i had to make a mcstrome blues playlist, because well. they were besties and now they’re not anymore.

i thought i’d share some songs with you as a token of gratefulness for your general existence <3 the vibes are kinda sad tho ngl. it’s a vision of their relationship that is just… bleak. so without further ado, mcstrome blues!

now that we don’t talk by taylor swift. “did you get anxious though?/ on the way home / i guess i’ll never ever know / now that we don’t talk” i’m just. there’s a post floating somewhere on swiftie tumblr along the lines of “this song is for the girlies with a dramatic best friend breakup” and. yeah that’s mcstrome to me

still got it + can’t go back baby (one right after the other) by troye sivan. his new album is full of bops btw but these ones…… man. cant go back baby is actually about being cheated on, so not really applicable here but. the hurt? phew 😮‍💨 (from the same album how to stay with you gives me matthew and leon getting together after matthew fucked off to florida vibes!!! “i feel my mother might like you / just not in the same way i do” that’s tthe tkatchuks baby!!! but i digress.)

ivy by frank ocean. “we had time to kill back then / you ain’t a kid no more / we’ll never be those kids again” hello??? also along these lines. ribs by lorde. a classic of the “i want to go back to the past but it’s impossible and it makes me go insane” vibe

the exit by conan gray. oh my god this one . “you love her / it’s over / you already found someone to miss / while i’m still standing at /the exit / i can’t hate you for getting everything we wanted / i just thought that i’d be part of it” this one is tied to irl stuff which. eh i know. but oh my god…

hope this wasn’t too long and that you enjoy (if you didn’t know these songs before!!) 🤍🤍🤍🤍

hello music anon!! lovely to hear from you as always 💖 i am indeed very stressed right now but it's okay, i will make it through. just one more month of the semester! two more months until my biggest work event of the fiscal year! i have the veterans' day holiday off from work today tho so before i dig into the massive pile of homework and household chores i have been ignoring, i took myself out for coffee to sit at a cafe and catch up on tumblr asks 😂

i have ALSO been in a weird mcstrome mood lately, i think because connor mcdavid is so miserable right now, so thank you for sharing this little playlist, it really hits the mcstrome sadness spot. like even beyond the hrpf of it all, it makes me sad because to me friendship is one of the most important things in the world and it makes me sad thinking about them not being best friends anymore! obviously, drifting apart from your besties when you were a teen is a pretty normal part of life for a lot of people, but i am still sad about it. they were so sweet about each other, and now we don't even know if they actually still talk ever 😭

i knew some of these songs but not all of them! as usual they are all going directly on my playlist for disassociating to on the metro to and from work. i love a pairing or character or story concept playlist so much (if you couldn't tell by how i tend to post playlists with my long fics, haha). thank you for sharing!! 💕

presuming that orville does at least participate in the musical numbers "always" (and maybe its reprise) and "till we meet again," b/c the name that's cut off has that left half [Q,O,G,C] shape, & the only other name that shares that is "Gloria," who is already listed first

the versions of these songs used in the spotify playlist on the show's official page:

sure can believe that this is put into the context of orville and his mother margaret, and, with mrs. margaret wingate's film counterpart being orville's (mostly) antagonistic overbearing father, and corbin describing orville's mother as the "villain," does lend the song a dramatic ironic twist...."when the things you plan / need a helping hand" (way too pushily interfering)....the whole ending of "not for just an hour / not for just a day / not for just a year / but always" to a slowing tempo is definitely interpretable like [THREAT] and i can imagine that we get this duet to introduce this duo/dynamic, like well isn't that nice, then we get a scene in between actually seeing their dynamic play out, and then one or both characters hit that reprise within our fresh, more informed context, so we can be like, Ah :I

with the [more "inspired by" than adaptation], sure interested if this role just stays a villain. the father in the film sure basically goes full amicable mode once orville puts his foot down the once like "oh i respect you now" like well that's not how it works lol, but i definitely like, understand it in the same way i understand "that's not how it works lol. but." re: everything wrapping up basically literally last minute in a comedic collision of all lingering threads, also this is backstage midshow btw like okay we've all seen this classique musical comedyesque movie form....but i Also am betting that this 2023 version doesn't really go for that, and develops the threads/conflicts differently and doesn't go for As jampacked a sprint to resolution at thee very last moments. and here in i'm wondering if, you know, this conflict needn't resolve at all, or not with reconciliation anyways lol. always looking up over the menu like oh sorry did someone say a plotline where a kid doesn't have to conclude things on "i guess this is more tolerable &/or i'm just tolerating more" terms w/their parents? love those possibilities, meanwhile seems like we have a supportive enough counterparental figure in pop falbury

between the setup of "always" previously and this title (but not this album cover) i was caught off guard by how upbeat uptempo this is, kinda swing, kinda doo-wop, especially with how orville is, unlike gloria, montgomery (the fancy would-be lead actor who joe steps in for), & phil (joe's partner you say?), Not amongst the actors / troupe / company. but given the expectation that this show changes things up, as it says, i'd be delighted to suppose he can get brought into the fold somewhat / also share in the [whoa, i'm learning and developing / growing / evolving from this Shakeup and Unlikely Convergence/Overlap]....naturally wondering what the vocal arrangements might be, besides [one lyrics / melody] [everyone else: harmonizing / nonlexical lyrics], or whether the fact this Is perchance more straightforwardly a love song, and gloria and orville are here (presuming they do end up together still), like hey montgomery and phil?? like sure why not, so far as any of us know. anyways it's a little bop. let me see this show

[squipedmew]

Hi, fellow Radiohead enjoyer! If it's not too late for an album ask, then I'm sending you 'In Rainbows', 'Ok Computer' and 'Hail to the Thief'. Btw, feel free to ask me about Radiohead too if you want, I love them so much!

Hey there! No, it’s not too late to ask, so thanks for doing so! I LOVE rambling about music and whatnot, so thanks for the excuse!

IN RAINBOWS

Fave song: alrighty, so In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album so picking a favorite is a bit difficult. I’d probably have to go with either Bodysnatchers or Jigsaw Falling Into Place, it tends to fluctuate between the two.

Favorite lyric: I’d probably have to give it to “I’m alive” in Bodysnatchers, which is boring when I write it down, but the way he screams it is just *mwah* chefs kiss. The line in Weird Fishes “why should I stay, no why should I stay” is also delivered really well

Song that makes me cry: Videotapes and Nude. I don’t feel like I have to elaborate on that.

Song that’s a bop: also Bodysnatchers, but 15 Step in particular also makes me do a little boogie.

Song I like the least: probably House of Cards? Idk, there’s not too much there to talk about, but it’s still a sweet song.

OK COMPUTER

Favorite Song: Paranoid Android, not even a question. Maybe it’s the sound, maybe it’s how it describes a chaotic mind that won’t shut up that I relate to a lot, or maybe it’s my deep love for Ergo Proxy. Either way, it’s a 10,

Favorite Lyric: easily “everywhere you turn, I’ll be there, open up your skull, I’ll be there, climbing up the walls,” from Climbing Up The Walls. God, it’s such an accurate way of describing anxiety - your whole brain feels like a haunted house, and there’s something inside. Honorable mention goes to “hey man, slow down!” From The Tourist, the delivery is amazing.

Song that makes me cry: Take a fucking guess, it’s No Surprises. Genuinely one of the most heartbreaking songs I’ve ever heard. If I’m ever super emotional and need a good cry, that’s the song I turn on, specifically the acoustic cover.

Song that’s a bop: tbh I wouldn’t really describe any songs from OK Computer as a bop? I guess the closest we have is Electroneering (super underrated btw)

least favorite: ok, this is gonna get me crucified by some people, but I’ve never been the biggest fan of Karma Police. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good song, but it just kinda feels a lot more drab and boring then everything else on the album. I’ve always just kinda found it a lesser version of Paranoid Android.

Unfortunately, The King Of Limbs is the album I have not listened to the whole way through yet. So far, the songs I’ve heard out of order have been alright, but I’ll have to see how I feel about it as a whole when I finally sit down and listen to it.

anyhow, thanks for asking!

Hi! I've just read through all your SDJ headcanons and I've read your fics, and can I just say how AMAZING your content is?! I truly love how in depth your headcanons are and how they stay true to the SDJ lore that (as far as we know) is canon.

It's just -chef's kiss-

I also have a potential headcanon questions for you: in your headcanons Jack and MC/Alice (love her btw) have more or less a fairly healthy relationship (Jack's yandere habits notwithstanding). But even the healthiest and most harmonious relationships can hit rough patches.

What would a fight between Jack and MC/Alice look like?

Not a fight between friends, but a fight between lovers. It could be small disagreement or it could be a huge fight where things are said/done that hurt and aren't easy to take back. A fight that while painful, can help them come back stronger, or destroy them completely.

And what would be a potential subject that they would fight about? Jack's possessiveness and aggression to any potential threats? MC/Alice's hesitation to let go of past relationships and letting Jack in? Or something else entirely?

What would the reconciliation look like, if they could reconcile at all?

Gosh I... you really make me feel flustered with such lovely praise. Thank you so much. I’m really glad that you enjoy my headcanons and stories! I’m happy you like Alice too.

That’s a really interesting question you’ve asked there. Honestly, I have planned some minor conflicts for Sunshine in Hell between them, mostly because, well, Jack does have manipulative yandere tendencies. Though I intend to give them a happy ending, such behavior needs a good metaphorical bop to the nose with a rolled up newspaper, you know?

Of course no one is perfect, and Alice is going to frustrate Jack in some ways. As you pointed out, her difficulty in letting go of her love for Ian is going to be a conflict between them. How it’s resolved is... going to be in a way that I’m not going to spoiler here since it’s going to be an example of Jack using of those powers of his for questionable things... and facing the consequences of it afterwards.

I’d argue that a bigger point of concern for Jack when it comes to Alice is her overly kind nature. Anything, even kindness, can be bad in excess. Though she’s resolved herself to give up on Ian, she can’t bring herself to hurt him by blocking him. Despite showing some hesitation and suspicion towards Jack, she’s already showing concern towards his wellbeing on day one because she feels sorry for his unfortunate situation.

Let’s face it, just because we know that Jack won’t hurt Alice doesn’t mean she knows it. He might have the ability to share his emotions, and his genuine feelings might help ease her concern, but most anyone would be a lot more guarded and a lot less moved by his sad puppy dog eyes in this situation.

Imagine if Jack didn’t have the best intentions for Alice and was like one of the more extreme yanderes who didn’t care at all if they hurt the person they “love” as long as they possessed them. Imagine if he didn’t love her at all and just wanted to use her for his own ends. Imagine if everything was just a sick game by a supernatural entity because she got in contact with a cursed object, and the goal was to ruin her life like a twisted genie granting all of her “wishes” in the worst possible way imaginable.

Jack is grateful for Alice’s kindness and compassion, and he knows he benefits the most from her having an abundance of it, but she is also putting herself at risk when she gives so much of herself. The world is so big with such cruel people, as he experienced himself in the past. She has faced cruelty as well, but she can’t help but care about how others feel, even to her own detriment. The situation with Ian is one such example of how she suffers from giving too much of herself because she worries about hurting him... even though it means that she suffers immensely.

I plan to have more instances of this appear in the story, and it gives Jack a lot to worry about, especially in the beginning when his powers are very weak when it comes to affecting other people. It’s going to leave him with some feelings of frustration and helplessness, even as he does his best to gently guide Alice into caring for herself more.

By the time they become lovers, Jack will be stronger. As I’ve mentioned in past headcanons, I believe that he gets stronger and gains more power the more MC loves/trusts/needs him. It takes a while before he and Alice become lovers in Sunshine in Hell, and by that time his abilities are going to be stronger. With this, he’ll be able to have more of an affect on other people and the world, and thus have less reasons to feel helpless... except when it comes to more internal conflicts like dealing with his own traumas and sense of identity.

I don’t have ideas yet for a huge fight between Alice and Jack in general, mostly just some minor conflicts that generate drama and angst. Something big would have to have happened that one or both of them can’t overlook and really shakes them up and leads to an outburst of emotion. I don’t intend for things to get to the point of, say, Jack convincing someone to kill themselves like we’ve seen in some teaser images. I’m sticking with the softer side of this yandere story for the most part.

As I’ve said in a past post, I think Jack would struggle with any anger or negative feelings he might have towards his sunshine, which means that any argument with him and MC would - unless he was pushed to the brink - be more like a teacher’s lecture, sometimes a firm one if he’s really agitated. Between being yandere, his gratitude for MC saving him from hell, and self-preservation, I can see it being a real struggle for him to reconcile with feelings of anger directed at MC.

Likewise, as I’ve stated above, Alice cares about other peoples’ feelings to an extent that it can be harmful to her. Instead of lashing out at Ian for cheating and telling him to fuck off like a lot of MCs would, she forgave him and reconciled because he said he was sorry and felt bad for the betrayal. She was figuratively and literally scarred by what he did, but she still tried to accept his apology as being enough to make up for how much pain he put her through.

A fight between Alice and Jack would be one where both parties would immediately be distressed about hurting the other. It would carry this quiet sense of frustration when they just want what’s best for the other person, but their partner can’t quite see that. This is doubly true when they’ve grown close enough to be lovers.

Alice has a tendency to go nonverbal when extremely stressed. When upset or thoughtful, she goes a bit quieter than usual. Not talking can cause trouble due to lack of communication.

It’s fortunate then that Jack has the powers he does and can pick up on the more “out loud” thoughts Alice has. Though, if her mind is more chaotic, it’ll just come across as confusing noise. I doubt mind reading is an easy thing to do after all. Emotions are easier to read relatively.

An example of a minor fight I have in mind for the pair after they become lovers is after Jack seduces Alice while Shaun is over. Being overheard during such an intimate moment is humiliating for her, and she can’t help but feel ashamed for making her friend uncomfortable and for being so brazen as to have sex while he was there. It’s hard for her not to feel irritated at Jack for convincing her to do it, and she isn’t quite convinced that it wasn’t intentional, especially since he promised to help her keep quiet, only for him to get especially intense at the end. She’s as much angry with herself as she is him and mortified as well.

Jack absolutely did intend for Shaun to hear them going at it. He won’t tell Alice a lie directly (just lies by omission), so he’s not going to be able to directly refute her if she accuses him. Rather, he would coo over her, trying to soothe her ire, and convince her that it’s not as big of a deal as she’s feeling like it is right now. She herself told Shaun they were together, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise to him. These things happen after all.

Jack would apologize for upsetting Alice, but he just couldn’t help himself. He just loves her so much, and she looked so beautiful in that moment that it was difficult to hold himself back. He just needed to hear her say his name while he filled her with his love.

The praise would certainly fluster Alice, especially since Jack would find gently touching her and pressing soft kisses onto her face would make it hard for her not to melt from his affection. When he apologizes for upsetting her, she can tell he means it, but she tries to remain stubborn and huffy even as she softens under his sweet words and touches. It’s only when he offers to do anything she wants to make it up to her does she finally relent. She says she’ll forgive him but only on three conditions - first, he can’t ever do that again. She doesn’t want to have to worry about people catching them when she wants to just focus on, well, loving each other. The second is that Jack will need to apologize to Shaun too. The third is he has to make her some chocolate chip cookies for dessert tonight.

Jack easily agrees to all these conditions and the two of them have cuddle time to soothe out any hard feelings. Even having to apologize to Shaun would be worth it (though how he goes about it is definitely going to sound more like bragging).

Alice being the one to irritate Jack would result in a bit more of a stern teacher vibe from Jack. I’ve shown a very brief instance of this in part of the vampire AU smut teaser.

For a moment, Alice just breathed as she tried to slow her racing pulse, allowing Jack’s reassurances flow over her like cool water on a burn. He… really wasn’t upset? He wasn’t disgusted by what she just did, by having to taste his own blood, by being kissed by a blood sucking parasite?

“Alice,” Jack said. His voice was still gentle, but there was an undercurrent of steel beneath the silk tones. “You did nothing wrong. You were perfect. You are perfect. Every inch of you is perfect.” He slid his hand up to her cheek and stroked it with his thumb as he gazed deeply into her eyes that were the same shade of pale blue as the sky at dawn. “I love you, all of you, including the part of you that enjoyed drinking my blood.”

A small gasp escaped Alice. Jack pinned her in place with the unwavering conviction in his dark brown eyes, the certainty of his words. He left no gap for doubt to squeeze into, making it impossible for her not to believe him. She drew in a shaky breath as he dragged his thumb along her lips, not caring that he stained the yellow fabric red.

Jack allowed his voice to soften, but he remained resolute as he peered deeply into his sunshine’s eyes. “Did it feel good?”

Jack heard Alice insulting herself and was upset by it. That’s why he got firm with her here. He can’t stand anyone hurting his sunshine, not even herself. This is another example of minor conflicts/arguments between them. While this is an AU, it’s likely instances like this will appear in Sunshine in Hell as well.

It’s unlikely fights between the pair are going to get much bigger than these examples. The idea of hurting the one they love is painful to consider. If they did unintentionally do something that caused real harm to the other... Well, I imagine they’d both have a similar need to apologize immediately. It would likely cause a feeling of insecurity and fear that would lead to the need for reassurance that they still love each other before they could completely talk through what happened.

In a lot of ways, their pasts have given them a similar need to please the one they love even if it means giving too much of themselves. Jack’s situation makes it pretty apparent why he would think that way. With Alice, a big part of the problem was her relationship with Ian and how it had a negative affect on her over time, particularly when it comes to communication.

Ian has issues with his mother. Because of her, he feels constantly at fault and is constantly apologizing for any real or perceived slight on his part. I can see there being a cycle of Alice gets upset or hurt by something, and because of his mother making him feel like anything negative happening in her life is his fault, instinctively he apologizes and feels bad when anyone shows such negative feelings even tangentially related to him.

Imagine venting about an awful day at school to your boyfriend, only for him to apologize and feel bad that he didn’t do more to make things better for you. After all, you both spent a lot of the day together... Then imagine this happening a lot... to the point that it feels like you can never complain about anything for fear that it might hurt the one you love.

Ian had a very hard life, and he more or less only had Alice to support him and make him happy. He depended on her. Over time as they got closer and cared for each other more deeply, it became harder to see him upset, especially if she was the cause of it. This led to her complaining about things less and less, depending on him for support less. She needed to be the strong one for both their sakes because she loved him, and he needed her.

Alice was carrying the bulk of the emotional burden in her relationship with Ian. If he did anything to upset or hurt her, he would apologize and feel awful to the point where it was like it hurt him more than it did her. Even if you love someone deeply, you can’t become their emotional crutch because eventually you’re going to break under the weight.

When you’re caught in a cycle of trying too hard to please your partner, especially if you’re not truly communicating, the relationship is going to break down. This is why things between Ian and Alice turned so toxic that there was no hope of repairing their relationship after he cheated.

This plays a big part in why Alice struggles to let Jack take care of her. This also plays a part in why she wants to take care of him when they first met. She’s used to taking care of others. She’s gotten into the habit of not being a burden on others. She dismisses her own pain, suffering, and discomfort because over time she learned that causes harm to those she cares about.

The key difference in the two relationships is communication. Jack and Alice have this connection that allows them to feel each other’s emotions, and they can even catch thoughts from one another. A lot of unspoken things come across better, allowing them to get across what they mean even when words don’t convey everything.

What also helps is that Jack doesn’t take everything negative that happens in Alice’s life in his vicinity as something that’s his fault that he needs to apologize for. Apologies tend to become worthless when they’re applied to every situation... especially if things just keep happening to require another apology again, and again, and again...

Alice and Jack are fortunate to have found each other and to have the connection they do. They can recognize when the other is giving too much and call them on it kindly. They can understand what it’s like to feel like they have to be constantly pleasant and not show their unpleasant or weaker sides. Chapter 5 of Sunshine in Hell gave a glimpse of this when Jack slipped up by showing some of his trauma, only for Alice to comfort him and tell him he doesn’t have to pretend to be okay.

Ultimately, between their personalities and the situation they’re in, it’s unlikely that Jack and Alice will ever have a large fight. The conflicts they have will be relatively minor, and ironically it’s when they feel more confident that they’ll be able to show their more unpleasant sides without being afraid that it’s going to do harm to each other and their relationship.

By that point, they might wind up having more playful disagreements that are more for show and to tease each other than anything else. Their more legitimate fights will mostly be small enough to be resolved with a lot of cuddles, cooing, and maybe some cookies.

1. OMG! A K-pop song? That’s so cool! It sounds like BTS lol. And the song is pretty catchy too 🎵; “Dive into my ocean of love”. It’s such a bop! We see the mutes (even the Mod Frogs) fangirling HARD. But what animals are these guys supposed to be? Are they dolphins? But why do they have horns? And apparently abs as well: 

2. Aww but the leader of the group, Hyun Soo (as revealed in the subtitles) soon gets paralyzed by a dart and is kidnapped after signing fan autographs. And of course, it’s the doing of Dr. Emilia as she’s seen testing a serum sample on Hyun Soo. Again, I’m impressed with her ability to be so stealthy. However, she’s finding it difficult in getting the right formula for the genetic serum since none of the samples she’s used so far has worked on the kidnapped mutes. BTW, Jamack talking to Hyun Soo is hilarious. 

3. In Timbercat Village, Kipo is planning with HMUFA a mission to find Emilia, rescue their friends and retrieve Song’s research journal. Oh, did Asher get a haircut? If so, they look really nice.

4. Our boy, Benson wants Troy to come along because he feels safer when he’s around. How precious! I’m  happy he gets to go on a mission with Kipo for the first time too. It’s nice to mix groups up sometimes. And it looks like it’s just gonna be a human/hybrid-only mission because the mutes won’t be able to handle Emilia’s sonic emitter. Dave is upset that he won’t be able to tag along with them. I think it’s a good thing to sit this one out because he does have a tendency to die during their missions lol.

5. They manage to hitch a ride on a couple of dragonfly mutes due to Kipo coming up with the codeword, “Milkshake” to keep situations calm.  Random but okay. As they’re flying over the sea, they spot a ship, which definitely belongs to Emilia since we hear Zane asking Greta to turn on the sonic emitter as some mysterious sea creature was circling around them. Because the dragonflies are not immune to the sound, this causes them all to fall into the water

6. The group tries to climb over the ship to get a peek of the situation aboard and they can see the burrow humans enjoying their time there, splish-splashing in a giant pool paired with a crazy slide and everything. 

7. Dave lets Lio and Roberto know that he wants to have a boys night out (BNO) with them. But it’s clear that he’s doing this because he still feels salty about not being included in the stealth mission. Roberto looks like he doesn’t want to go out but Lio is down to hangout with Dave-o lol. 

8. Back on the Dr. Emilia’s ship, Kipo and gang try to find her lab but they almost got spotted by a blonde human girl, who apparently is able to hear Hyun Soo  sing through the cafeteria vents and thus, wants him to sing for her. Kipo and Troy actually recognize her from their old burrow. She’s actually Hoag’s daugther, Doag! I can’t believe he named his daughter that lol. Anyways, they were all actually friendly with one another, so we shall see if she’s willing to help them or not. Doag really likes dancing and we see her dancing around to Hyun Soo’s singing. She then does a split and spots them. Well, she doesn’t look alarmed actually. 

9. Meanwhile, Dave and Lio are playing cards but afterward, they went to check out the so-called “community bonding” session between Timbercats and the Umlaut snakes. At first, it seems like they are having a huge argument but they’re actually just writing a song and having a couple of debates. It’s song-break time. This time, the song is called ‘Friendship Alliance’. How fitting. After the performance, Lio says he wants to go to bed but Dave isn’t done yet and wants him to check out his secret stash of explosion berry cola.

10. Doag explains to the group that Dr. Emilia has been treating them nicely so far but they want her to know the truth about Emilia who has been trying to kill Kipo since she was a baby. Plus, according to Troy (and Benson from earlier on), she didn’t eat his Benson’s pancakes. Troy is way more upset about the part about the pancakes, which of course he has to be since it’s his boo’s pancakes. But my goodness, Doag’s voice is like nails on the chalkboard. Don’t you agree? 

11. I think it’s hard for them to convince her that Dr. Emilia is a bad person, especially since they don’t have any real evidence to show. Emilia is like a savior to these humans. Fortunately, Doag wants to help them rescue Boom-Boom, Jamack, Camille and Hyun Soo regardless. 

12. She takes them to Dr. Emilia’s lab, which isn’t very hidden like they said lol. The door’s locked but Troy, the skilled magician was able to pick the lock no problem. Benson is impressed and he actually addressed him as his boyfriend! Cute!

13. They enter the lab and we see all the kidnapped mutes trapped in their individual mute-proof cells. Aww the way Jamack called Kipo, Burrow Girl was so sweet. He has come a really long way with her since Season 1 huh? I don’t know what’s up with Boom-Boom but she(?) doesn’t look too good, almost unhinged. So, Hyun Soo is known as a Dolphicon! I guess that’s short for Dolphin and Unicorn. That’s explains the horn. I actually like the name “Wall Siren” for him as well. Despite only speaking in Korean, Hyun Soo does seem to understand English when Doag asks him “who are you?”. I feel like the introduction of Hyun Soo is like paying homage to Kipo’s animation studio, Studio Mir, which is in fact South Korean. 

14. Kipo proceeds to then break them out of their cells. Doag declares she’s going to help them escape. I actually hope there’s a chance that she would be part of Kipo’s group officially. She seems cool, mostly lol. Wolf also finds Song’s research journal but before they could make their escape, the traumatized Boom-Boom looks at the needles Dr. Emilia has been using on her, freaks out and drops her nectar bombs on them, which causes the whole lab to explode.  Boom-Boom needs therapy for sure. Ughh…Wolf also accidentally drops the journal and leaves it behind the lab. That book is probably destroyed. 

15. Back at Timbercat village, I assume Lio had already drank the cola before he is super hyped. Yumyan also joins in on their shenanigans and he gives them the idea to steal Molly’s axe and put it in an axe bush (is that what Yumyan said?). Also, is this supposed to be a pun or something?

16. Doag puts Hyun Soo in their getaway boat but it’s weird since he’s a dolphin and can just swim in the water instead lol. They’re supposed to leave now but Kipo wants to face Emilia now. I say she’s making a bad decision here. Dr. Emilia then arrive with Greta and Zane but Wolf takes out the latter two easily. The rest of the humans come out to the deck to see what the ruckus is all about and Emilia tries to play coy and innocent with them. 

17. Hoag notices that his daughter isn’t around. Our heroes try to explain to the humans that Dr. Emilia is the bad guy; They told about how Song is the Mega Monkey and how she got her to attack and destroy their home back in Season 1. And they explain that she mind-controlled Song to kill her own daughter. 

Even grandma can deliver a beatdown on someone lol

18.The humans are reluctant to believe them because it does sound very farfetched. But c’mon…they should know by know that Las Vistas is a messed up place; Anything can happen. Also, don’t they remember the Mega Monkey saving them from getting gilded in Season 2. Suddenly, Hoag makes an attempt to paralyze Kipo with one of the darts but she quickly reacts and knocks him out. The humans see this and they get mad at her. Eventually, Kipo and the others make their escape. Finally. 

19. Back to Lio and Dave. We find out towards the end that Molly actually killed Dave 5 times for the stunt he pulled on her lol. Anyways, the both of them are glad to have this bonding session with one another since Kipo isn’t around. 

20. Our heroes reach land but Doag wants to go back because she knows her dad is worried sick about her. And so, Hyun Soo and I guess the rest of his groupmates are bringing her back there. Aww, she should’ve stayed but I understand why she wants to go back to the ship. But to be honest, somebody should’ve thought to give her a communicator or a walkie-talkie or something because at least they can know what Dr. Emilia’s next move is. Perhaps they don’t really have to think too much into it since the journals has been decimated and all…or is it?

21. Wolf, I hope you’re happy you dropped the journal lol. Dr. Emilia figures out that Kipo is X. Wait, I’m trying to remember if there any mention of X in the previous episodes. Anyways, I wonder what she’s going to do with the fur Kipo left during their last confrontation. I guess since Kipo is a human who also has the DNA of apex predators, Emilia is going to play with her recombinant DNA and figure out a way to reverse the effects of the mute DNA so that only the normal DNA will be present? I dunno….

22. Last note/tiny bit of criticism: Is it just me or do you guys sometimes think that some of the character designs look a little wonky in this episode? Sometimes, I felt like Kipo, Benson and even Troy look a little off in some frames. Anyways, that’s the end of my review of episode 2. Stay tuned tomorrow for my review of episode 3. Thanks for reading everybody!

i hate how everyone is hating on confetti and saying that lm5 is better when the girls obviously want to go for something different :(

the thing about people and pop music these days is that they always expect more when pop music should be exactly this, they said it themselves on not a pop song: love, break ups, parties, sometimes a feminist anthem here and there lol with lm5 they tried a different sound and it was refreshing, i loved it, it has no skips for me, but i also love the classic pop sounds. with lm5 they had a goal, every album before confetti, they were trying to prove themselves, like ‘’hey we’re here here’s a bop, pay attention’’ bc people still sleep on them. i feel like with confetti, like leigh anne said, they were writing it with a bottle of wine, having fun, celebrating who they are, instead of trying to prove a point, like ‘’fuck this shit, let’s have fun with some songs, if we get an album out of this then okay’’ and honestly this!! album!! is!! fun!! they already proved their point, they already did EVERYTHING they could in their career, they delivered vocals, they tried different productions, they brought the choreographies, they talked about important things. this is their 6th album, they just wanted to party lol no pressure, no record label drama, no doing what simon says.

is it an iconic album? no, that’s glory days lmao but i am defending it, bc other pop artists did the exactly same thing and they were praised for it (album of the year blah blah blah)

after this very big rant lkjhdsdfgh sorry btw. i say that everyone’s got their opinion, nothing we can do about it, if you loved it, like i did, i say stay in that little bubble and enjoy the album, have fun with it, bc i’ll tell you, it’s so much better when you like something your fave releases, you’re here dancing and loving the vibe and other people are there sad about not getting the album they wanted (been there, i know the struggle) lmao

tw: needles ( tattoo mention ), cancer mention, death mention

miss saoirse...... oof

GDFLSJL where do i begin with her honestly ??

full name is saoirse eve leary, affectionately called cece by her family since she was young and runs with it as her nickname !

born and raised in cork, ireland with two siblings, a working class father and Slightly upper middle class mother

her childhood wasn’t like, Majorly eventful; she was considered a bit of a tomboy which isn’t a surprise bc she’s always been a bit of a spirited, adventurous girl, has the odd nomadic moment strike her and loves to travel

had a SUPER close relationship with her maternal grandmother before she passed a few years back, still has a close one with her grandfather and paternal grandmother as they’re still living

is a big family girl overall, so much so that she’s eagerly awaiting the day she gets to be the cool aunt

had a decent cluster of pals over the years that’s likely dwindled due to everyone going their separate ways after high school

saoirse Did go to uni between her travels — and graduated — and has aspirations of becoming an anthropologist to explore other cultures and meet new people/understand them

which.. obviously ain’t happening now LFSGJGF rip

came to eroda partially bc it seems like such a pretty and quaint place, partially to explore its “ myth ” that you can never leave; her naturally curious ass questions the whole thing, at least in the sense that there’s no way to challenge your supposed fate on the island and won’t deny entertaining some conspiracy theories around the mystery

she still doesn’t understand that.. yeah, she Literally is stuck here for the rest of her life now, probably because she hasn’t made a Real attempt to put that to the test, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it FDSLKJDS

anyways she came here solo ( more than likely ) and has enjoyed her time getting to know the locals and other visitors, taking in the scenery, etc

probably took up a part-time job at sally’s tavern to cover her expenses since she lives in marmoton and it ought to be close enough for her to get to gfjlsdg

personality and everything else

a sociable, ( relatively ) fearless ginger with an eclectic taste in music and a profound appreciation for pastries.. 

despite being all about cleaner eating habits and lowering her sugar intake, she takes a cheat day or week wherever she can LSDGFJK

parties, game nights, etc, you name it ?? she’s there !

kinda competitive while we’re bringing up games and such, but she’s not about the whole sore winner/loser thing — rather she’ll groan and sulk a little before moving on

like i said before, loves to travel, loves pretty places in general so prepare yourself for an abundance of pictures on her insta feed of where she’s been or where she wants to go

loyal as hell, but she has her limit if you misuse the trust that comes with it

she’s just v wholesome and has a mix of small town city/endlessly curious energy with a sprinkle of being the life of the party……. kinda

however, she’s the most ?? hard to place person all the same

that feeling of freedom that comes with her exploring and all makes her a little hard to tie down; she doesn’t plan on staying in eroda ( which is unfortunate for her considering.... fglsdk ) as she has more to accomplish and see

very much does her own thing and doesn’t wanna hear any criticism for it

as if she’s that out of line DLJGDSLK but still

always wants to try new things, no matter how dumb they might be; except for anything that’s a Legitimate death sentence or is.. a GENUINELY dumb idea, she has enough common sense to know what Not to do KSGFDJDS

has little tattoos on her wrist and behind her left ear for her Favourite trips/symbols/whatever and her family, will let y’all know what they’d be whenever i figure them out since i’m so damn picky with these things

a Big supporter for buying/investing locally, has little trinkets and such to prove it

in fact, she has a collection of thrifted or vintage clothes from her travels and back home, and a chest full of cute jewelry she switches between daily

one piece she wears all the time — only parts with it when she sleeps — is the celtic knot pendant mentioned in her app that’s become something of an heirloom on her mom’s side of the family !

she has the cutest irish lilt in my mind, kinda the same as miss ronan’s and aisling bea’s

really loves her freckles, partially bc i love her freckles and my own :(

tea > coffee, but she loves coffee-flavoured things; bring her a peppermint or camomile tea as her shift winds down or.. idk, just because, and she’ll be forever indebted to you fldjgs

loves to hang out by the water in her free time — she loves the scent and sounds that comes with it, it’s one of the few places where she can put her mind to rest for a bit

the sound of rain hitting a rooftop is her perfect sleep soundtrack

kinda wants to adopt a pet, but doesn’t wanna leave them if she goes on an excursion where they can’t come with her :(

baths with epsom salts, candles that smell like lavender or something just as pleasant and calming, etc during a night in soothes the hell out of her soul

top three products she has in her bag at all times, besides personal info and her phone ? lip balm, a powder spf and mints FGLGKSD

btw.. miss ginger hair and freckles will probably gasp at anyone going out with no spf on them and scold tf out of them bc ‘ hello, melanoma ?? sunburn ?!? ’

wanted connections

childhood pal(s) she’s bumped into: reunited by chance, cece’s glad she has a couple of people she knows to keep her grounded when her mind runs wild at what Might happen when she decides to try her hand at leaving

cousin(s), other relatives: idk, figured it’d be fun for her to have a family member or two running around and not realizing the other relative is the Only one they’ll see in person from here on out

best pal(s) in eroda: someone she’s taken to since arriving, likely spending their free-time eating pastries on the beach, talking shit over tea, little market dates, going to the rainzone half-drunk and trying to rope each other into new things

opposites attract.. of sorts sfdlgkj: basically just a traveler meeting a local who’s never been off eroda, telling all about their ( quite limited ) excursions and bonding in other areas over time !

hook-ups, fwbs.... ENEMIES with benefits?? idk, point is the girl’s probably gotten laid since arriving, it’s all a matter of the situation that fits your muse(s) best FHGSDKJ

roommate: she lives in marmoton, likely in a rental of sorts, and i can’t see her living alone given the situation on the island ( though i’ve viewed her as the type to live alone in a space for one and a half people any other time tbh ). so she has just One and they make the arrangement work ! depending on their personalities and such, we’ll figure out how well they get along Exactly, if at all

ex ??: the girl’s bi so y’all can toss anyone at her for this one as well ! question marks bc i was thinking it’d be an on-and-off thing but maybe not come the time i post this intro LSGKD. basically they were seeing each other for a few months, she fell hard Quick/they moved kinda fast bc they were vibing and they would distance themselves upon realizing this — though i see cece giving them distance bc she knows they need it rather than needing it herself. if it IS on-and-off, they’re definitely off rn and treading lightly ( though she finds it hard to stray and hates things not being fully resolved no matter what happens ?? ), so all it’s a bit angsty regardless of how it goes dfgkljsdg

fellow mystery fiend: someone please fuel her curiosity to the max and try to crack the impossible case of eroda’s captive capabilities with her.. and proceed to watch true crime shows with her when that clearly goes to shit SDFKLJ

older sibling or mentor dynamic: someone to look out for her/teach her some things to help fully support herself/give her advice when she probably needs it most.. idk, i just like the idea of someone becoming a stand-in relative type of friend to her 

just give her someone to confide in, to swim at night with, stargaze and all that cute shit, be it platonically or otherwise !

she’s not gonna click with everyone and that’s fine, BUT maybe they run in the same social circles and cece thinks they seem nice enough, but they never really talk amongst themselves ?? just a case of awkwardly starting from scratch and seeing where it takes us !

[ambivalent-anarchy]

Peter With A Southern Girlfriend - Headcanon

So we already know our little Peter is the sweetheart of all sweethearts, right?

But he's also a little shit at the same time somehow

But above all, he's a northerner.

And northerners LOVE to make fun of us southerners when they get the chance

(Alabama born and raised btw🤠)

Stereotypes

Stereotype #1 - Country folk are idiots and just overall clueless

First of all, FALSE. Second of all, FIGHT ME if you actually believe that.

Having to deal with Flash condescendingly asking you if you understand what he's saying or what the conversation's about literally every few seconds

"Yeah, hang on Penis Parker- [Y/N]! Did you get that? We're going to a party. A PAR-TY! P-A-R-T-Y! It's what you probably called a 'honkytonk' back in the south. Got it? A party!"

"...I've never once even used the word ''honkytonk', Flash."

^^crap like that🙄

Peter never hesitates to stand up for you when that happens.

That is, if MJ doesn't beat him to it.

"Shut up Flash, [Y/N] could probably talk circles around you!"

Boys automatically thinking that you're 'easy' the second they hear your accent

Every idiot basically just pissing Peter, MJ, and you all the off.

You having to calm Peter down so he won't fight someone and vice versa.

Stereotype #2 - Southerners are racist and nonprogressive

(Gosh man, stop generalizing people you guys)

Getting in an argument with Flash and him throwing unnecessary stuff in your face when he realizes he's losing

"Sorry [Y/N], but remember you guys lost the civil war."

(Bonus - if you're not white) "I literally would've been a slave too dude, so shut up."

Ned being slow to talk about some things with you at first because he doesn't know your views on them and couldn't help but assume some of them because you're southern

None of this with Peter though. Everything kinda flies over his head because controversy is the last thing on his mind at any time lol

Speech

It wasn't until you got to New York when you really realized how Southern you must be

It doesn't aggravate Peter when you say things in a way he doesn't understand, it actually just makes him laugh

"Wait, what did you just call that, [Y/N]?"

"What? The cement?"

"Oh my God haha yeah, is that how you guys say it down there?"

"Umm, how else are ya s'posed to say it?"

"It's the cement. Not the CEment. The emphasis is on the bottom half of the word, not the first."

"I don't know Peter, CEment sounds better to me... Hey MJ? Is it cement or CEment?"

"Umm obviously cement. What weirdo is out there saying CEment?"

"..."

"...oh."

Also, sometimes you'll be talking and Peter will have NO IDEA what you're saying

The last straw was when you were both shopping and you said:

"Hey babe, go get me the buggy."

"... the what?"

"The buggy."

"Uhhh... okay."

You ran off before he could ask you what this 'buggy' thing is

So flustered and confused Peter calls up Ned who then calls MJ who looks it up and oh wow it just means shopping cart

And Peter's all "WHY COULDN'T SHE HAVE JUST SAID THAT?!?!?!"

And MJ's like, "Peter.. you remember where your girlfriend is from don't you??"

He finally finds you in the store after a while

"What took you so long?"

"..I-i, uh, had to use the restroom.."

So the next day he literally buys a book entitled "Butter My Butt And Call Me A Biscuit! And Other Southern Sayings"

Dude actually studies it like he's studying for a test😂

Next time you say something like that, he'll be ready

He can never let you find the book though. He's not ready for that level of embarrassment😂😂😂

Peter sending you things like only in the south memes and being like, "do you understand this???"

Music

Now by no means do all southerners love country music. That's just a lie.

I mean, personally I love it, but that's just me lol

And it really does get hated on a lot but message me and I'll send you some total bops and bangers if ya want

Anywayssssss

Peter's totally one of those "I don't have a favorite genre, I just like GOOD music" and "I like ALL genres" people

LIES

Hardly anybody who says that really genuinely likes all types of music

"Hey Pete, wanna listen to my playlist?"

"Yeah sure."

"...[Y/N], what is this?"

"It's music, Pete."

".......oookay."

Peter Parker = not a big fan of country music

But he loves you, so he'll try to search and find some that he can tolerate

Or some that he even likes (gasp!)

Slow dancing in his room to "Tennessee Whiskey"

You teaching him how to square dance

He's surprisingly good at it!!

Accents

If there's one thing northerners love to make fun of southerners about, it's our accents

Even if you're accent's not strong, and it's more of a drawl, Peter will always catch it and he'll make sure you KNOW that he caught it

And he won't hesitate to answer you teasingly in his own crappy country accent

Don't ever get sleepy around him, cuz that's usually when accents or drawls are the strongest

He'll take videos and send them to every group chat he's in (including ones with the avengers)

Peter: Lol look at my girlfriend you guys her accent is so cute❤❤🤠

Rhodey: kid you do realize this group chat is for missions only right?

Peter: yeah but she's so cute tho

Stark: OK underoos, we get it. You love your girlfriend's accent. Now shut up and go masturbate about it why don't you?

Coming Home

Peter going to your hometown for the holidays is WILD

Cuz he wants to do anything and everything

It'll go one of three ways-

Peter realizes that's he's picked off more than he can chew and he REALLY can't handle southern life

Peter loves the whole thing despite him probably making a fool of himself the whole time

"Pete, you do realize that all southerners aren't the same, right?" (Because not everybody down here owns a farm, much less even seen a horse for that matter)

But let's talk about Peter Parker with southern life right now

Scared of EVERYTHING

Can't handle the bugs

Or the weather for that matter

Too scared to milk a cow

Can totally ride a horse but accidentally does something to make it mad and ends up having to swing away

After a while just really wants to stay inside the whole time😂

Is just overall a whole mess

Realizes that he really wasn't ready for all this, he just wanted the "cotton-eyed joe" aesthetic

But overall is just chill about everything and awed by the fact that you actually did all this cool stuff when you were little

In conclusion, southerners are awesome and you're missing out on quite the experience if you haven't met one😂😂

[relish-the-freezing-silence]

Hello! May I ask for a matchup, please? I'm female, bi, german, Aquarius. I'm 1,59 m tall, long, blonde hair, grey-blue eyes and wear glasses, I'm chubby. I’m reserved, introverted, really shy, anxious, low self-esteem and have depression. I don’t like crowds. I can be distant and very quiet. It’s not easy to get close to me. I’m very cautious around others. I choose my friends carefully. Once I’m with friends I joke around a lot more. Chaotic neutral. I’m probably the weird one in my friend group, though I’m rather calm. I daydream a lot. I like to tease my friends and flirt with them playfully. I curse sometimes, but not much. I also sometimes say perverted things and nobody expects it, because I do look very innocent. I tend to be sarcastic, ironic, kind of blunt. My sense of humor is dark, dry and often silly or exaggerated.

I keep my opinions to myself, but if something important needs to be said, I will say the truth, even if it hurts. I need time for myself to recharge. I hate to be late and hate to wait, am mostly organised. I like to watch movies (often horror, but I can get a bit spooked), read books, listen to music and game occasionally. I also want to try out doing macrame. I love animals, especially cats. I also love sweets and fruits (and eating in general). I'm interested in the medical field, philosophy and anthropology. It might happen that I might just tell someone random facts, if talked about topics I find interesting. My love language is quality time and physical touch. I'd appreciate someone, who is patient and understanding. Someone I can trust, but also mess around with, someone who can make me laugh. Thank you! Stay healthy, happy and hydrated! 💕

Hi, sure you can have a matchup!

A/N: Sorry this took so long btw! I’ve been a little busy for the past few days and was sick yesterday…

Anyway, I match you with…Tokoyami Fumikage!

-        This relationship would be very slow to start off with because of both your tendencies to be reserved and quiet. On the other hand, Tokoyami isn’t afraid to talk to strangers, he just seems aloof and cool. So, he’s probably the one to start a conversation between the two of you.

-        You two most likely bonded over being the weird but calm one in your friend groups and your dark sense of humour.

-        He likes how you’re unpredictable as to what you’re going to say next, and often joins in with you when saying perverted things to surprise everyone around you. He loves seeing people off-guard, and sometimes overdoes it a little bit to see them like that.

-        He’s introverted as well, so he doesn’t mind that you need to recharge your social batteries; he needs to do that as well.

-        He’s fairly cautious about who he befriends as well, and he’ll be very, very happy once you start talking to him as a friend and joking around with him.

-        He doesn’t mind that you’re shy, and he’ll respect your boundaries and won’t cross them until he’s welcome to.

-        He’s very mindful of the people around him and is perceptive to the point where he can virtually tell what they’re feeling. So, if you’re not having one of the best days, he’ll come over to you and just let you pat Dark Shadow, or just let you lean on his shoulder despite you actually being taller.

-        He’s not the jealous type, so he wouldn’t particularly care if you flirt with other people, just as long as you aren’t serious about any of it.

-        He likes that you’re not super energetic, but still fun to hang out with.

-        He really admires how you’re so honest and will say the truth no matter how it hurts someone. I feel like he values the truth a lot, and will be the one to look for the truth, not just wait for it to come to him.

-        He’ll watch horror movies a lot, and if you get scared, he’ll just wrap one arm around you, and pull a blanket over the two of you. He won’t let go until he’s sure that you’re okay. He won’t make fun of you for your feelings, he’ll just try to help you with them.

-        I feel like that would really help with your depression, anxiety and low self-esteem as well. He never says that your feelings and worries are invalid. Ever. And he will be very patient as he tries to help you see how amazing you are.

-        He’ll try to get you into reading dark, fantasy books, and will be thrilled if you do, but he’ll understand if that’s not your cup of tea.

-        OOOOOooooo and he’ll love listening to music with you. Not even dancing or anything, he’ll just sit there, eyes closed, with his bird head bopping/swaying to the beat.

-        He thinks it’s adorable that you love animals, and loves it when you stroke the feathers on his head.

-        He’s a little weary around cats, but if he meets an especially friendly one, I’m sure that he’ll be a little more open-minded about how cats do not always attack birds.

-        He absolutely supports your want of trying out macramé, but he’ll really want you to make one for him as well *^*

-        Hehe, I feel like Tokoyami is really good at making pies for some reason? So, he’ll make you fruit pies and everything :)

-        He’ll love that you’re so well-informed about certain topics, and will sometimes add his own two-cents to a topic of an interest he shares.

-        YAASSSSSSSSS, he’ll absolutely love talking about philosophy with you. You guys will probably get into really deep conversations and they’ll last hours. Well, at least, Tokoyami will want them to go for hours because he just wants to stare at you because you’re so beautiful he can spend any amount of time getting into the deeper aspects of life.

-        Oh my gosh, I can imagine him loving anthropology as well; he likes studying human behaviour and seeing what exactly makes us human. It probably stems from the fact that he has a bird head.

-        One of his love languages is quality time, so he’ll find any opportunity just to be in your presence, no matter how awkward it could potentially be.

-        You relationship might not have your idea of ‘messing around’, but Tokoyami knows how to relax and just be weird with people :)

A quote I think your relationship would match:

“‘I trust you’ is better than ‘I love you’ because you may not always trust the person you love but you can always love the person you trust."

I hope you like your matchup~

fuck it, cats recap

i saw cats with my boyfriend a few days ago. i wanted to make one of these after but thought i couldn't possibly add anything to the heaps of commentary already available on tumblr. unfortunately, cats has a certain staying power, and i think the only way to forget what i've seen is to write it down (aided by a list of songs to remind me which scenes came in which order). so here we go

the opening scene was such a bizarre combination of unsettling and kinda boring. there was so much unnecessary tension.

the set actually looked really pretty! shame about everything it had to witness.

almost all the words in the movie are unintelligible. it's probably for the best.

victoria, the audience surrogate cat, was initially in a big burlap sack which was thrown into an alley. the jellicle cats approach and dramatically paw at the sack. you can tell this was a bit of choreography meant for the stage and not a movie.

some of the cats crawl on their hands and knees, and it's just the most uncomfortable thing you can imagine.

when victoria actually emerges, all the cats hiss and disappear, then reappear to sing a song that mainly consists of asking victoria if she has certain "cat" traits like... being blind at birth???

"would you look at a king? would you sit on his throne?"

in the same song there's a sequence of cats just listing adjectives for themselves. i looked up the lyrics and apparently at one point they say "rabbinical cats." what the fuck is a rabbinical cat?

the big gray cat (afaict he isn't named in the film, but the credits list him as "munkustrap," which is one of the worst names for anything i've ever heard) asks victoria for her name, and is perplexed that it's something normal. look buddy, you don't get to name yourself munkustrap and then complain about anyone else's name.

apparently cats have three names: one that their family calls them, one super fucked up one that they decide themselves (like munkustrap), and a secret name they don't tell anyone else. the third name never becomes relevant, so i honestly don't see why they mentioned it.

if you ever see a cat in "profound meditation" they're just thinking about their name. aight.

sorry, good omens fandom, cats forever ruined the word "ineffable."

i think it's somewhere around here that macavity first appears??? i am ashamed to admit that for a brief moment he looked kind of attractive. it's idris elba, okay?

there's a song where they introduce the idea of the jellicle ball. it's really creepy, which is fitting, because apparently the jellicle ball is when their cat president decides who gets to die and go to "the heaviside layer." tbh if i were in this reality i would be begging for death too.

every moment where the cats are whisper-singing is deeply unpleasant. why.

apparently the cat president decides who deserves to die by having them each sing a song about their name. i'd previously heard the musical summarized as "cats introduce themselves one by one until one of them gets the right to die" and honestly that's pretty accurate.

munkustrap leads victoria to a human kitchen, where rebel wilson's character jennyanydots (really) is lounging around being generally useless. there is an extended shot of her scratching her crotch. i am so tired of rebel wilson playing funny fat characters.

i had already heard that jennyanydots unzipped her fursuit at some point during her song. i couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what the fuck people meant by that. what they meant is, jennyanydots unzips her fucking skin to reveal a sparkly costume AND ANOTHER LAYER OF SKIN underneath. is this part of the musical? please tell me.

i knew about the cockroach vore too, but that didn't make it any less upsetting. it happens twice. there are crunching noises.

the cockroaches are... they all have human faces. they look like aliens from a kid's movie made in 2005.

rum tum tugger's song is, i regret to inform you, a bop. i looked the song up afterwards, and the stage version is actually more upsetting. a lot of crotch action.

that being said, there is a horrifically sexual part during the movie version where cats are guzzling milk and it kinda looks like bukkake drawn by someone who had never seen cum before.

also the cgi for the milk was inexplicably bad. like, it looked like some shit out of a spy kids movie.

towards the end of the song, rum tum tugger pulls victoria's foot towards his mouth. i felt time slow, and i started muttering to myself "no no no no no." fortunately, he did not suck victoria's toes. i hate that i have to write that.

i believe it's at this point that macavity shows up and thanos-snaps jennyanydots. this is the first time magic is shown to exist, which made for a really surreal effect. i kinda thought i was having a stroke.

grizabella.....

grizabella is just furry fantine. she used to be a super glamorous cat, and now she's wearing garbage and singing about how sad she is. jennifer hudson really gave it her all though.

bustopher jones, who looks like he's just james corden's fursona, shows up and sings a song about how fat he is and how much he loves to eat. my fat ass was not amused. at the end of the song he too gets taken by macavity. i guess he has a thing for chubby cats.

mungojerrie and rumpleteazer are just awful names. i hate them so much. why would you name yourself mungojerrie.

they really seem like they're trying to convince victoria to have a threesome with them. at the end of the song she's laying in a bed between them. it's bad.

i am so grateful the dog that they run away from is never shown. i can't even imagine how awful that would be.

the past two mornings i've woken up with old deuteronomy's song stuck in my head. i don't know why. it's not that interesting.

the cats all flock to old deuteronomy and nuzzle her. it's awful.

judy dench and ian mckellan were taking this so fucking seriously. i had to see ian mckellan, without a trace of irony, saying "meow meow meow" and drinking milk out of a dish. it was one of the most upsetting moments for me.

"jellicle cats are black and white," according to a bunch of cats that are neither black nor white.

victoria needs a moment to go outside and chill during the jellicle ball. i can relate.

grizabella is there again, singing a weirdly beautiful song about when she was younger and happier. i decide jennifer hudson is this movie's saving grace.

victoria sings another weirdly beautiful song about how she was abandoned in an alley (which i guess is how she ended up among the jellicle cats).

"all that i wanted,,,, was to be wanted,,," heartbreaking. relatable. loved it.

ian mckellan, whose cat is apparently named gus (short for asparagus), sings a song about how he used to be a great... actor? magician? i wasn't really clear. ian mckellan continues to do his very best to make this weird senile cat seem real, and i fully expect him to drop dead of old age halfway through the song. alas, no cat can die unless old deuteronomy wills it. i thiiiink he got taken by macavity at the end?

it turns out jennyanydots and bustopher james (and gus, i guess) are NOT dead (sigh), but have been transported to a barge in the middle of the thames. honestly i think i just dissociated too hard to remember this scene very well.

another bop from skimbleshanks the railway cat. the slow motion tap dancing was a bit much, but the song at least was fun. at the end he gets disappeared by macavity, oops!

taylor swift's whole bit is... it's just hard to sit through. yknow how everyone made fun of that bit in "look what you made me do" where she went like, "sorry, the old taylor can't come to the phone right now. why? oh, cause she's dead!" her whole song had that energy. the fake english accent made me want to die.

she pours catnip on all the cats, which makes them moan and writhe a lot. i think this was supposed to be the orgy scene? i don't know.

macavity has "broken every human law," which i assume includes treason and gay sex. i really love the possibilities here.

actually yknow what just occurred to me? would macavity get in trouble for bestiality if he fucked a human? or would it have to be, like, a cockroach or something else that's "lower" than him?

macavity thanos snaps old deuteronomy because she refuses to let him die. everyone is super sad until victoria goes "oh hey, mr. mistoffelees can do magic! :D"

unfortunately, i really liked mr. mistoffelees' song. i've been singing it multiple times a day. his face may be upsetting but his overall vibe is kinda adorable.

mr. mistoffelees is named after the demon mephistopheles btw. i feel like that needs to be said.

old deuteronomy is returned to the jellicle ball, and victoria convinces grizabella to sing for everyone. the song, again, is beautiful and heart-wrenching. everyone loves it, and grizabella is chosen to die.

grizabella is put in a hot air balloon. i think the heaviside layer is fake, the jellicle cats are a death cult, and she's just going to suffocate to death. this is supported by the fact that the heaviside layer is a real name for a part of our atmosphere.

old deuteronomy ADDRESSES THE AUDIENCE DIRECTLY at the very end. i hate it.

she says triumphantly, "a cat is not a dog!" this is important enough that the entire cast repeats it. my boyfriend is more upset by this than i am.

there are some horny facial expressions, i think, and the camera pans back to the hot air balloon. the movie ends.
