Transfiguration - @jegulus-microfic - word count: 237

Regulus Black did not skip class.

No matter how ill he felt, he had missed a grand total of four lessons in his entire Hogwarts career, and that was only because he'd been out cold, following a Quidditch incident.

So when James Potter suggested he skip Transfiguration to go on a walk with him, he nearly fainted at the idea.

"I have class, Potter," he scoffed, straightening the collar of his perfectly pressed shirt.

They'd been doing this for weeks, now. Sneaking around in secret passageways. Kissing behind closed doors. Moaning into each other's mouths in the dead of night, hidden in old, forgotten classrooms.

But Regulus never stayed. He never lingered long enough to exchange more than a few sentences with Potter, let alone go on a walk with him.

But the look in his eyes at that moment. The mixture of hope, fear, adoration, and genuine caring. It made Regulus falter.

"Why...why do you want to go on a walk, anyway?" he asked, wishing he'd put more malice into the question, detesting how vulnerable he sounded.

"I just...want to spend time with you," Potter shrugged, a tiny half-smile forming on his lips. "I want to get to know you, Reg."

He thought about it. They were reviewing in class today. He didn't technically need the help...

"Alright," he agreed, nodding stiffly. "Just this once, mind."

And James's eyes lit up like the sun.

20 Questions for Fic Writers [DRUNK EDITION]

Okay so…

I was tagged by @yourfavoritefridge and answered all of these questions while very drunk last night and for reasons I’ve decided to just give you those answers.

{Obviously I wasn’t sober enough to format it with links and stuff so I have done a little after the fact but I’ll just mark all my sober updates with these fancy ass brackets, but for the most part, I left my drunk answers unaltered and did not elaborate. ENJOY!}

1.) How many works do you have on ao3?

28 [Holy shit]

{technically 29 now}

2.) What's your ao3 word count?

380,7555 [feels fake] {and not a number…}

{also it’s 380,918 now}

3.) What fandoms do you write for?

Apart from the first fic [which we will talk about in Q19] Star Wars

4.) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Haunted Heart {293 kudos | Anakin falls for the charming ghost haunting his house} {when I tell you I thought this fic would have less hits than it has kudos when I first posted it…}

Bound and Broken {252 kudos | Satine helps Obi-Wan through his trauma following the events of Kadavo }

I’ll Fall For You If… {241 kudos | Bartender Anakin helps widower Obi-Wan set up his dating profile}

Go Fuck Yourself Obi-Wan [WHAT THE FUCK!? I love you freaks] {239 kudos | When a young padawan Kenobi finds himself in the future, Obi-Wan gets to know himself on a… deeper level}

Your Highness {237 kudos | Obi-Wan and Satine during the year on the run. The beginning of a long running series}

5.) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Not recently, and I’m trying really hard not to feel bad about it. MORE WHEN YOURE SOBER

6.) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Bound and Broken or Haunted Heart

HonorableM: Curiosity Killed the Commander & Homecoming

7.) What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The Resolute Theater Presents

8.) Do you get hate on fics?

Not really? I’ve gotten the errant comment here and there, there has been a lot of asks about getting back to EIYWT which… ANSWER WHEN YOURE SOBER

9.) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I love this question.

It’s the weirdest question.

I know a few other mutuals have pointed it out, and I want to be clear, I don’t mean it in a bad way, but this is a weird question in a way that I LOVE.

YES.

Yes, I write smut.

It’s pretty much all I write…

But WHAT KIND???

Oh fuck.

I write the kind of smut that will make you squirm in your seat and chew your lip as tears stream down your flushed cheeks.

I will make you feel things, and then I WILL MAKE YOU FEEL THINGS

{I’m fine. This is fine}

10.) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Have not.

Have considered X-Files x Star Wars but I think that’s more of an AU than a crossover

[in case anyone is interested]

11.) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of!

12.) Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don’t think so, but I mean— That would be incredible

13.) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

ANSWER WHEN YOURE SOBER

14.) What's your all time favorite ship?

ALL TIME!?

I don’t fucking know, ANSWER SOBER

15.) What's a WIP you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?

This question makes me itchy. SKIP

16.) What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm still finding them. And I mean that in the best way.

I think maybe my strength is that I’m learning to just write the way I write?

I’m finding a way to tell the stories I’ve always heard in my mind and to my absoltute fucking astonishment — there are people who like the stories in my head…

I’m learning to ignore everything I ever learned about writing. I’m learning to just listen to that weird rhythm that has always been in my head and just TELL THE FUCKING STORY [sometimes literally] {gods I hate myself}

I don’t know.

I think…

I think I’m a good story teller.

I think I can tell a complete story, both short and long.

I think I’ve always been able to do this — usually out loud, I’m very good at giving speeches and entertaining people but I’ve always been good at telling stories. Nothing frustrates me more than a poorly told drunken shenanigan, or a wedding speech with bad story structure…

Okay this is getting pretentious

READ THIS WHEN YOURE SOBER

ANYWAY

Yeah… even though I’ve written stories with open endings, stories that could have a follow up, stories that leave you wanting more — they’re all still complete stories. You don’t NEED to know more, you can imagine the rest yourself.

And isn’t that the best part?

17.) What are your writing weaknesses?

I’m sure I have a lot.

I choose not to think about them…

…

That’s not true but if I think about it too might I’ll tear myself apart so I’m gonna say that I’m a terrible speller and MOVE ON

18.) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I am not at all confident enough for this.

Fictional or not.

I mean, I’m totally into it! I’ll read it all day!

I’m not confident enough to write it [myself]

19.) First fandom you wrote for?

WOLF 359!!!

YOU GUYS!

THIS AUDIODRAMA WILL BREAK YOUR HEART

AND THE FIRST THING I EVER WROTE WAS A THREESOME WITH A FUCKING CENTIENT SPACESTATION AND TWO OF HER CREW AND I AM STILL VERY PROUd oh fuck I just realized caps lock was still on I’m gonna… yeah okay.

^^^READ SOBER

{the fic in question}

20.) Favorite fic you've ever written?

Fuck me,

Um.

Probably Haunted Heart. {I still think about this fic on a daily basis…}

BUT

Can I shout out another fic I’m really proud of?

A Very Strange Time in My Life {a really short, really weird first person story loosely inspired by Fight Club}

{well folks… I hope you enjoyed this weird look into my drunk brain!}

Precure Day 237

Episode: Yes! Precure 5 Go Go! 38 - “The Power of Two! Dream and Rose!!" Date watched: 21 December 2023 Original air date: 9 November 2008 Screenshots Precure Metamorphose Gallery | Sky Rose Translate Gallery Project info and master list of posts

PRECURE ROSE SCREW!

Happy new year, everyone! I had meant to push this out by the 31st but I was busy with stuff, so now it's the first post of 2024 instead of the last post of 2023.

After our brief detour into the land of sweets, we return to the plot. Kurumi is hell bent on finding the last monarch, and Syrup begins to remember his past. Let's dig in!

The Plot

Rin mentions to Kurumi that blue roses aren’t found in nature, and in flower language they mean “miracles.” This causes Syrup to suddenly remember a moment  in the Cure Rose Garden, where he remembers seeing a blue rose. The girls summon King Donuts and he confirms that the Garden is the only place where blue roses are known to exist. After Milk explains how she got her powers from a seed that blossomed into a blue rose, he declares that she must have a special mission.

Flora is seen in the Cure Rose Garden, weakened, as the flowers wilt around her. At Eternal, Anacondy argues with the Director over this, with Anacondy saying that if Flora dies they'll be able to get to the Rose Garden more easily, but of course the Director wants her alive and empowered. Anacondy gives up and dispatches Isogin and Yadokan to capture the Rose Pact.

Kurumi skips school the next day to find the fourth monarch so she can go to the Cure Rose Garden and learn about her special mission, but Nuts eventually tracks her down and reminds her that they all need to work together, and she doesn't even have a way to capture a Palmin if she finds one.

Suddenly, Isogin and Yadokan attack. Kurumi transforms and insists she can take them on by herself, but they are too strong for her. Syrup swoops in with Coco and the other cures in tow to rescue Rose, but are quickly captured themselves.

Syrup manages to free Cure Dream, who gives Milky Rose a passionate speech to encourage her, so Dream and Rose team up to protect Syrup and the Rose Pact from I&Y. Their combined strength manages to turn the tide, and Nuts recalls the legend of the Red and Blue Roses: when they combine their powers, they’re more powerful. Coco and Nuts summon the Shining Fleuret and Milky Mirror for the duo, and they clasp hands to perform a powerful attack of spiraling energy that overwhelms and completely destroys I&Y. It harkens back to Cure Black and White’s Marble Screw attack.

Exhausted, Milk receives encouragement from the rest of the girls that they will work together to find the last monarch, get to the Cure Rose Garden, and meet Flora to find out what the mission of the Blue Rose is, and Milk does a little dance.

The Analysis

What I Liked

Syrup finally starting to become aware of his past, and learn how he connects with the girls’ mission is nice.

Dream and Rose working together evokes old school Black and White vibes. They don’t often truly combine their powers like this, and now we see what happens when they do. The finishing attack is so much like the Marble Screw, AND it was original animation for this episode, not stock footage. Of course, that means it probably won’t be used again, but it was nice in this instance.

We actually get an update on Flora’s status. She’s not doing so well, but we see it. On the other side of the conflict, we continue the dissension between Anacondy and the Director of Eternal and how they disagree over their goals. I’m looking forward to seeing how this ends.

What I didn’t like

The art and animation are done by Kawano Hiroyuki, resulting in a lot of long or off-model faces. I’ve spoken about him before, since he was in charge of episodes 31, 22, 15, and 7 of this series, as well as many episodes of each season prior to this. Read my rants about him there.

Considering this is Isogin and Yadokan’s final stand, they really did not leave any impression at all. Bunbee is Bunbee, the comic relief. Scorp was an extremely memorable villain and you could almost sympathize with him at times. Nebatakos was slimy and not likable but you enjoyed rooting against him. Shibiretta doesn’t have a whole lot going for her, but she at least allows for the episodes she’s in to take place in fun and unique settings. Mucardia is cunning and manipulative and I genuinely look forward to his episodes. But Isogin and Yadokan came out of nowhere, barely say anything, and always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I’m not sorry to see them go.

Miscellaneous

Rin’s remark that blue roses don’t occur in nature is actually true! I hadn’t realized it before now. The development of blue roses, either through dyeing or genetic manipulation, is relatively recent. She may be stretching their meaning, though. From what I found they're associated with mystery, secrecy, aspiration, uniqueness, and admiration. Nothing quite approaches the meaning of "miracles".

The beginning of the episode has some exposition about the game show and the trophy that the girls won in the prior episode, in a nice bit of continuity and world building.

The last monarch, King Montblanc, is referred to by name for the first time I think.

Conclusion

Some of my feelings here have more to do with spending 9 months working over the review of the movie than with the actual episode and its role in the series, but it is nice to get back to the main plot. The last several episodes didn’t do much to advance the overall narrative (although they were lovely character pieces), so to come back after so long and pretty much hit the ground running is nice. The episode opens with Syrup remembering his past in the Cure Rose Garden, we are given new drive and purpose and Kurumi is actively seeking out the next monarch. The prophecy of the Red and Blue Roses is brought to life for potentially the first time, and we get rid of the least memorable villain team in the show. Good stuff. My main complaint is in the art department, I’ve never been fond of this art director’s work. I will say that the fight scenes are well choreographed, with lots of jumping around, and I truly enjoy the dynamic reveal when Dream blocks the attack meant for Rose. It’s filled with inspiring messages and is all around a positive episode.

Next time, on Precure Daily, Karen has to put her doctoring skills to the test on King Montblanc. Look forward to it!

Writer Asks!

Tagged by @stellarspecter! thanks for the tag!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

153! 142 of those are JatP, and I'm working on one that would be a really cool number 150... so maybe I gotta write 7 short ones first...

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

651,798. Since 2021. Yes I have a problem.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Julie and the Phantoms and The Bright Sessions almost exclusively at this point, but I also have Percy Jackson and Supernatural fics on Ao3. Back in the day, I wrote a ton of PJO on fanfiction.net and then a handful of fics in like 8 other fandoms.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

far from hurt is where healing occurs -- JatP, Rayvor Reconciliation, 276 kudos

a crack in the ceiling (trace it back to my heart) -- JatP, juke sickfic, 237 kudos

i was fine until it was time to feel -- JatP, alex sickfic, 230 kudos

as long as i am here (no one can hurt you) -- JatP, reggie sickfic (anyone seeing a trend here?), cowrite with someone iii no longer speak toooo, 203 kudos

say what you want (but it's hard when you're young)-- JatP, other alex sickfic, 187 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes! Often several months after I received them, but I always catch up eventually!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

My latest! In which I give Mark Bryant a Better Life and Different Trauma!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

My JatP Big Bang fic from last year! A lot of shit happens before we get to the happy part but it actually does end really nicely for everyone :)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I feel like I did... once... I do not remember what it was for or about and i'm pretty sure I deleted the comment. which is probably good in the long run that it happens rarely enough that i forget the details.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I occasionally write smut. I do not consider myself good at it. So I often don't post any. Closest I've got is the above linked mark bryant's different trauma fic and its like. five paragraphs in one scene.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I do! Haven't posted a ton, I don't think I have any on ao3, and a lot of what I call a crossover in my head and google docs is just a fandom crossed with ocs @joyandthephantoms and I made up and like to put places.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, and thank god, I think that would destroy me.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but that would be really cool if anyone ever wants to!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Quite a few. Gonna shout out time travel with @a-tomb-with-a-view and toxic besties with @weneedglitter

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

this is an impossible question to answer. Whichever one i'm currently thinking about at any given moment :)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

this is a trick question. there are WIPs i want to finish and i probably will because i'm stubborn, and there are WIPs i doubt i will finish but mostly because i don't want to.

16. What are your writing strengths?

dialogue, character, Concepts and Images

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

description, exposition, action, setting. basically all the things you don't need in good fanfic which is why i like writing fanfic :)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

fine if the translation is really obvious from context, fine if in small doses where it wouldn't be suuuper annoying to google the translation. whole conversations i will inevitably skip, although i did read a really cool Captain America fic once where there was some German dialogue and on ao3 the paragraphs were hyperlinked so that you hovered over them and saw the translation.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Percy Jackson! my fanfiction.net accounts are still up, but don't look at them, they're not good /lh.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

not sure there's an easy answer to this! sometimes i write things just to write them and post them just to get them out of my google docs, and sometimes i write things cause the idea won't let me go, and i post them cause i'm really proud and want some validation from strangers (and friends!) on the internet. my favorite one is whichever one I'm most proud of in the moment, which is usually the one I just finished, but even the ones I feel don't hold up as well or that i could've written better, i'm still really proud of, cause i made a hat! This was fun! i haven't been active on this account for a while, but i liked getting back into the swing of things, so if anyone still looks at this blog and actually read this, feel free to send me an ask with more questions/comments about my fics! i always like talking about them :)

“Can I put you on my to-do list?” GuzmaXreader (again) Their first meeting when he realizes how much of a badass this new trainer is. If you want to make if after a battle and they offer advice and some honest words for our bug dork.

Discord (16+) - Request Information - Event Post 

Warning: This is NSFW so if you’re under the legal age or uncomfortable with content like this, please skip over this one! This piece is for an event that’s linked above with the other information!

Guzma - “Can I put you on my to-do list?”:

Guzma looked over at you from across the battle field as he took his final pokemon back into its ball. He was both amazed and furious as the dust began to settle and his large stature began crossing the terrain over to you. Your starter pokemon went to shield you in case he tried to hit you, but you knew better. Guzma wouldn't be that much of an idiot...hopefully. Besides there were witnesses around and Nanu would have no issue arresting him on the spot for attacking a trainer physically.

He got right in front of you, leaning into your face. He was about to spit out some rude words and insults, maybe a threat or two your way. Then he got a good look at you. You held your head high, pride seeping off your very bones as you glared at him. You weren't scared and something about that amused him.

The biggest thing he noticed, however, was the fact that you were cute...just his type actually. He smirked as he bent over, his mouth grazing your ear, "Mind if I put you on my to-do list, cutie?" you froze in your spot and glared at him.

"If you finish as fast as our battle I doubt I'd get any satisfaction out of it." You spat back and Guzma snarled before getting to his full height. He flipped you off for good measure before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walked off. As Kukui came over, asking what he said, you couldn't help but look at Guzma's ass.

SFW Arven: Text Me, Please?

You heard the rotophone ringing as you grabbed it from your pocket, answering it. Arven's voice filtered through the speakers of your phone and you sighed at hearing him.

"So you can answer a phone call, but can't respond to my texts?" Arven said, his voice sounding a little annoyed with you.

"I'm driving..." You murmured, having your partner jump over a particularly large cliff. Even though your legend could technically go by themselves and be totally fine, you still liked being in control of where you were riding.

"You're driving? Excuses, excuses." Arven said, "Anyway, I wanted to let you know that you're close to a titan." As soon as he said that, you could feel the ground rumbling underneath you.

"OH REALLY?!" You shouted, trying to stabilize yourself so you and your pokemon didn't fall to the ground, "THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP!"

"Well I did text you..."

SFW Prompt - Grusha - “My jacket is probably big enough for you to fit inside it.”

Event Information | Prompts List 

SFW Grusha: Big Enough For Two

You were freezing cold as you watched Grusha finish up his battle; the poor trainer challenging him failing miserably with their underleveled team. You shook in your spot, teeth clattering and you cursed not getting a thicker jacket. There was a reason Grusha wore mitts, a scarf, and a huge jacket. The top of the mountain was frigid.

Grusha recalled his last pokemon and pocketed the ball before turning over to you. The crowd was dispersing and he was able to easily make his way over to you.

"You're cold?' He asked, despite it being obvious. You shot him a small glare as you frowned. Grusha couldn't help the small smirk under his scarf as he lifted his jacket a bit.

"My jacket is probably big enough for you to fit inside." He mentioned and you paused. Was Grusha, the so call cool kid, was offering to let you crawl into his jacket? You didn't want to miss the opportunity as you shuffled over to him and crawled under the jacket. He unzipped the top enough to fit your head.

Your arms wrapped around his toned waist and you smiled, enjoying the warmth his body was giving off. "It's big enough." You chuckled, feeling his arms settle on your lower back.

"You know this is seriously uncool." He commented.

"You offered."

"I didn't think you'd actually do it..."

SFW Prompt - Arven - “I’m bored…do something entertaining!”

Tiny bit of story spoilers? Ish? It probably happens in the first hour of the game if you rushed it.

So I've had this hc in my head ever since I got to the part where Arven called player chara 'little buddy', but I hc that Arven could totally just pick up and tuck the player character under his arm like a doll. In this particular hc, pc is a little gremlin.

"I'm bored...do something entertaining!" You whined over at Arven. The boy looked over at you with an unimpressed look. He was currently trying to get through one of his research books to help further your adventure. Still, you were never good at sitting still.

"And what exactly do you want me to do?" He asked, putting a dog ear on his book and closing it. You hummed, looking around the cave you two were chilling in.

"We could race or something? I dunno. Something fun. Balance a sandwich on your head. Really...anything please." You whined again and Arven shook his head at your antics.

"We're not children." With that, you scoffed. Not children, but very bored teens in a cave doing nothing crazy fun. "And why would you suggest balancing a sandwich on my head?" You shrugged at that.

"I don't know Arven, but we gotta do something. Wanna battle?" You asked, sending out a small Pachirisu you had caught earlier today, "I bet my Pachirisu could totally beat you in a battle." You called.

"We're not having a pokemon battle." He said and you frowned.

"Oh no, I meant you battle Pachirisu. Not your pokemon." You said with a sinister smirk, "Zap zap, Arven, let's dance." Needless to say, another idea was shot down.

My #1 post of 2022

SFW Arven | Headcanons | what kind of gifts would they like and how would they react to a surprise birthday party/what kind of party would they like (i feel like they may not be super into surprises but idk might be a toss up) feel free to choose one instead of addressing each of these

MINOR SCARVIO SPOILERS BELOW

I can see him being more or less confused by surprise parties, but not opposed to them. Mainly due to his background.

Rules | Discord Server (16+)

SFW Arven: Surprise

You loved Arven to pieces; you were his little buddy. Due to this, you wanted to do something extra special for him on his birthday.

When you originally approached the idea of birthdays and asked Arven what he wanted to do, he just told you not to worry about it since he didn't care much about his own birthday.

When questioning him some more, you found out the cold hard truth. He hadn't celebrated his birthday in a very long time. Even when he lived with his parent, they would sometimes forget about it. Not on purpose, of course, they would just be too into their research.

Needless to say, it kind of ruined birthdays for Arven, and he didn't much care about celebrating his own. He'd be more than happy to do something for his friends, but not himself.

That's when your plan hatched with Nemona and Penny at your side. You were going to throw him a surprise party.

Nemona kept trying to say the best way to celebrate was with a surprise battle tournament, but both you and Penny had to shoot her down. This was for Arven, after all.

You managed to rope some of the staff in as well in the preparation. Mr. Saguaro had helped a lot with making some good foods for you guys to have for the party. Clavell even reserved the cafeteria just for the party so you guys had a big space.

You had asked to borrow Mabosstiff from Arven and put the pokemon in a little party hat.

When Arven came in, he was shocked to see the party poppers. All his friends were there, ready to celebrate the big day.

He was sheepish and scratched the back of his head, but admitted that Mabosstiff looked adorable in his party hat.

The party went well and by the end, when clean up was all done, Arven asked to speak with you privately.

He thanked you but you could see the tears threatening to leave his eyes as he did so. You did the only thing you could do, and it was to hug your friend and let him cry on your shoulder.

This was the first time in years he got to celebrate his birthday, and he was so grateful to have his friends there with him. He's just happy he was able to hold it together until the end and not cry in front of the others, how embarrassing would that be?

Arven swears he'll do something even better for your birthday, and it might have turned it into a bit of a competition between you two to try to one-up the other on birthday party throwing.

A Story in Expressions

"You may talk vaguely about driving a coach and six up a good old flight of stairs, or through a bad young Act of Parliament; but I mean to say you might have got a hearse up that staircase, and taken it broadwise, with the splinter-bar towards the wall, and the door towards the balustrades: and done it easy. There was plenty of width for that, and room to spare; which is perhaps the reason why Scrooge thought he saw a locomotive hearse going on before him in the gloom. Half-a-dozen gas-lamps out of the street wouldn't have lighted the entry too well, so you may suppose that it was pretty dark with Scrooge's dip."

This is another spooky bit we miss from the adaptations. They always have the knocker and then skip to the fireplace. This is an amazing bit of creepiness, juxtaposed with Scrooge just ignoring it because it's dark and indistinct and he's "bah humbug"ing it away.

"Scrooge said that he would see him—yes, indeed he did. He went the whole length of the expression, and said that he would see him in that extremity first."

They needed to add THAT to one of the adaptations!

My serect Santa is @inuyashamybeloved

It was a regular day at Hillside College for a girl named Kagome. She was studying for a health test in room 237. There was a boy who was also studying for a health test. He was in the room next door to Kagome. Little did they know how their day was going to go today.

"All right class, I will give 10 more minutes to work on your test. And then you will go to Mr. Hank's class next.” Said Mrs. Hannah. So after the test was done, they switched classes. When Kagome went to get her notebooks for the next class out of her locker. She accidently dropped one of her notebooks.

“Here you dropped this.” Kagome slowly looked up to see who was speaking to her. There standing in front of her was a very good looking guy. His hair was long and black as night. His brown eyes seemed to be hypnotizing as she looked into them. This was the first time Kagome ever saw this incredible looking guy.

A blush came to her cheeks, as Kagome took the book from his hand. “Thanks for picking up the book for me, um… what’s your name? Kagome asked.

A smile came to his lips as he replied. " My name is IunYasha. And I’ll see you at lunch, followed by fourth period.” Kagome was a bit shocked to hear that they would be having classes together later on.

Two Hours had quickly passed since Kagome had last seen InuYasha. The lunch bell rang and soon the lunch room was filling up with hungry students. iunYasha was already eating when Kagome arrived with her packed lunch. When she saw him waving at her, she slightly blushed and headed to where he was sitting.

Kagome had her mind on InuYasha and before she knew it. CRASH! Kagome was tripped by a mean girl named Joy. “Watch where you’re going bitch, honestly don’t you have any respect?!”

Kagome felt so embarrassed. “I’m sorry I didn’t see you standing there.” Joy only turned up her nose and walked away.

InuYasha quickly went to Kagome and helped her up. “Are you okay, Kagome?” InuYasha asked. Keh, that damn Joy, she’s the rudest person I know. I hope someday she gets her ass kicked.”

Kagome slightly chuckled at InuYasha’s words. “It’s okay, as long as I have my lunch I’ll be good. Can’t think on an empty stomach you know.” Both InuYasha and Kagome laughed at her little food joke.

Soon InuYasha’s cheeks turned red, before he asked. “Kagome, I wanted to ask you something. Would you mind going with me to see a movie tonight? I’ll pick you up around 7 if you’re interested?”

Kagome smiled and quickly answered. “I’d really like that, InuYasha. See you at 7.” They both could feel their hearts skip a beat from the pure excitement of the night ahead. There was just something about Kagome that InuYasha liked.

After school both InuYasha and Kagome headed home to prepare for the night ahead. When the clock chimed 7, Kagome heard a knock on her door. She quickly ran and opened the door. There he stood, so captivating in his blue jeans and red jacket. “Ready to go, Kagome?”

Kagome smiled brightly and nodded “yes”. As the couple walked down the street, fellow classmates whispered and smiled. They were happy to see InuYasha with Kagome. After all she was a lot better compared to Joy who cheated on InuYasha during the winter dance. Turns out Joy bullied InuYasha in middle school and later cheated on him with some guy who was a bigger bully than Joy.

“And where are you two going?!” Both InuYasha and Kagome turned to see Joy standing in front of them. Her arms were crossed and her foot was tapping hard on the sidewalk.

InuYasha stepped in front of Kagome, holding out his hand ready to protect her at all costs. “What do you want, Joy? Don’t you have a boyfriend to bully instead of us?”

Joy chuckled. “You’re right I do have a boy to bully, and he’s standing right in front of me. Now be a good boy and get your ass next to me. We’re going to my place and to have sex!”

“Feh, you wish bitch!” InuYasha yelled. Me and Kagome and going to the movies, I’m done listening to you! Now move and let us pass before I get angry.”

Kagome could feel InuYasha frustration and anger as she rested her hands on his back. She knew the history between Joy and InuYasha and feared what would come next. “InuYasha, maybe we should go home to my place. It might be safer, who knows what Joy will do if we stay here.”

However this time he wasn’t backing down. “No, no more being controlled. No more being bullied by this heartless witch. I’m done running and rolling over for this piece for of trash. We are going to the movies and if I have to fight then I will!”

Joy only smirked, she had another plan. “Very well, but I’m warning you both. Paybacks are pure hell, especially coming from me.” With these final words, Joy walked away, but she didn’t go far. Pulling a key from her pocket, she chuckled. ‘I’ll see you very soon my pet.’ Joy smiled at her dirty thoughts.

Turning around, InuYasha noticed the unsure look on Kagome’s face. “Kagome I’m so sorry you have to be in this mess now. Maybe we shouldn’t go to the movies tonight.”

“Yeah that might be best, InuYasha. Not that I don’t want to go out with you. I just don’t trust Joy, she’s so hateful to you. And the whole sex thing just kinda made things worse.” Kagome lowered her head and started walking away.

InuYasha felt lost, he really didn’t know what to do. He wanted to run after Kagome, he didn’t want her to leave. ‘The only one I want to have sex with is you Kagome. Dammit Joy, why can’t you just leave me alone!’ InuYasha thought, as his fist tightened into a ball.

The walk home for Kagome was hard, and depressing. She was starting to wonder if she and InuYasha should really be together. ‘Joy will never let me and InuYasha be together. I should just forget him and move on.’ Once Kagome was home she went to her room and flopped on her bed and cried.

While on InuYasha’s side of town, there was a different kind of hell. “Welcome home my dear.” InuYasha froze when he heard Joy speak his name in the darkness of his room. “So is the movie over already? Such a shame, now be a good boy and come pleasure me!”

When InuYasha turned on his light he was disgusted to see a naked Joy laying in his bed. “Really, you think I’m going to have sex just like that. Sorry, but done. There’s nothing you can do that will make me lay with you.”

Joy laughed and replied. “You will if you want that Kagome girl to stay unharmed. Let’s just say she’ll have more than a broken heart once I’m done with her. Now this is your last chance.” InuYasha hesitated but did as Joy wanted. Little did he know Joy was filming the whole thing and after the deed was done she sent the video directly to Kagome.

Heartbroken and devastated, Kagome made her way to school, but refused to look at InuYasha. He tried to talk to her, but every time she turned him away. It wasn’t until Joy showed him the video did he understand. “You son of a bitch!” InuYasha yelled out as he tackled Joy. His anger was beyond anything he had ever seen.

Kagome watched as InuYasha was a mixture of anger and tears. She started to understand there was more to the situation than she knew. “I only did that to keep Kagome safe from you, but you hurt her all the same. It ends today bitch!”

InuYasha was about to punch Joy in the face as hard as he could until a hand stopped him. “Please InuYasha, don’t sink to her level. It’s okay, I understand now. Please don’t do this, I’m here and I love you.”

InuYasha dropped Joy and hugged Kagome tightly. “I love you too, so very much. And honestly I only want to give my body to you, not her.” Hearing all of this and knowing he was out matched today, Joy moved on and left. To this day no one knows where she went. Not like anyone really cared.

It had been 3 months since the whole Joy thing happened and prom was coming up. InuYasha had asked Kagome and everyone was excited to see the couple. “You know when we get home you’re all mine tonight. No more waiting, Kagome.”

Kagome chuckled. “Oh InuYasha, I swear you never change, always wanting to get in my pants. Or up my skirt most of the time. Honestly I’m not Joy. You can’t just have a girl anytime you want one. There’s more to love than sex.”

“Feh, yeah well I can’t help how hot you look tonight. Your tits just keep calling me closer.” InuYasha went to squeeze one of her breasts, but she slapped his hand away. “Dammit!”

“Serves you right Mr. Now let’s go to our Prom and act like adults, not horney teens.” InuYasha agreed, but at times continued being naughty at times. At the end the whole school voted that InuYasha was the King and Kagome was his Queen. InuYasha and Kagome shared a passionate kiss in front of a cheering group of teens as they received their crowns.

After the kiss InuYasha softly whispered into Kagome’s ear. You are one sexy queen and hot as hell.” Kagome blushed and without InuYasha even knowing it she had already made plans in her mind to give him what he wanted later on that night. She just hoped it would be as good as he claimed.

“Say InuYasha, is there any chance we could leave a bit early. I think I have a fever, since I’m suddenly really hot.”

InuYasha smiled and gave her a naughty smirk. “Oh I think I can take care of that fever in no time!”

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

Date Finished: April 16th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review: I listened to this on audio and, yet again, loved it. Casey McQuiston does a really great job with the side characters, which is what got me through the last 25% or so of the book, where the plot was falling a bit flat. I really enjoyed the friendship between Chloe, Smith and Rory along with the other host of side characters which brought False Beach to life. But... the initial plot, the search for Shara, was only interesting to me because of how Chloe interacted with the side characters. Because it so happens that Shara Wheeler (at least to me) was the least interesting part of this book, i didn't care about the cards, or her dad, or how this rich girl was struggling with her sexuality or whatever. maybe because I'm from England, where we don't have religious schools that extreme, but it seemed so exaggerated that i couldn't connect to Shara on any level and just wanted to listen/read about Chloe and her friends. Sorry. (also, the way the narrator pronounced Birmingham every time made me wince lmao)

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Date Finished: May 24th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

fun, cute and endearing. i enjoyed the experimental style and the conclusion to the story, although there were some aspects i didn't quite understand - even though she knew what he was doing, why would Oscar's mum let him walk around new york/skip school for hours at a time?

other than that, i liked Oscar even if i felt he was older than he actually was at times. i liked the mystery with the 'renter' and had a good time with this book.

Idol by Louise O'Neil

Date Finished: June 10th 2023

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

his was a fun, quick read with some interesting moral complexity. i liked the ambiguous ending, we still don't know the full truth - or if there even is one, which i think is interesting.

i wouldn't call this a scathing criticism of society, but it didn't have to be. there was enough there to make it an exciting read without it trying too hard.

i didn't like Sam, but i don't think you were meant to - or, she was meant to be flawed and unreliable.

most unrealistic part was that she seemed to only get one hate comment or smth before everything started.

The Janissary Tree by Jason Goodwin

Date Finished: June 13th 2023 (DNF'ed pg 237)

Rating: 🌟🌟

Notes/Review:

ik i dnf'ed this and then gave it 2 stars, but this book just wasn't for me. i borrowed it from the library for a creative writing project - i was writing a historical fiction piece, and i wanted to see the different way people implemented their research/wrote about the time period etc.

i started this book in December, finished my project in April, it is now June, and I struggled.

the mystery did not compel me at all, the characters were boring and the writing was flat. i just did not care about anything that was happening. the fact that there are like seven books in this series surprises me.

similarly, i read through some other reviews and a lot of them were suggesting that the historical information was incorrect as well, so...

Comics read this past week:

Marvel Comics:

The Incredible Hulk (1968) #233-237 and The Defenders (1972) #69-73 and the Hulk stories in Hulk Comic (1979) #1-6 and #9-13

Within the main The Incredible Hulk book, I went from December 1978 to April 1979. All of those issues were written by Roger Stern and penciled by Sal Buscema. Issue #233 was inked by Chic Stone, issues #234 and #237 by Jack Abel, and issues #235-236 by Mike Esposito.

I enjoyed the story of these issues on their own, but they were a disappointment as the follow-up to the events of The Incredible Hulk #228-229 in which the best chance the Hulk’s ever had to live a peaceful life was ruined by the villain Moonstone goading the Hulk into attacking her and then playing innocent, which led to Doc Samson giving up on rehabilitating the Hulk, when he’d previously been making progress as his therapist. Issue #230 had been by a guest creative team and issues #231-232 were a crossover with Captain America (1968), so I had thought that it made some amount of sense for those stories to feel sort of discontinued from all that, but it seems to me now that they’re just not committing to having lasting consequences for any of that, which is disappointing because that storyline had been so impactful as a reader. The end of issue #229 was Doc Samson dramatically declaring that now he’ll likely help hunt the Hulk and then in these issues he’s inexplicably working towards helping the Hulk as he was before and also learns that Moonstone was a villain in an aside in a scene largely focused on something else.

The Defenders #69 was co-plotted by Jim Shooter and Jo Duffy and then scripted by Jo Duffy. Issues #70-73 were written by Ed Hannigan. Herb Trimpe penciled issues #69-70 and #72-73 and for issue #71 he just did the breakdowns and Jack Abel finished the art. Al Milgrom inked issue #69, Mike Esposito inked #70 and #73, Jack Abel inked #71, and Fred Kida inked #72.

It had been some time since I’d read any Defenders and I really enjoyed getting back into this book. I’m invested in the overall team and the relationships between the various members, the Hulk characterization within these issues was great, and I also really liked Herb Trimpe’s art here. I’m really hoping that this is the end of the Lunatick’s time in the book, his role as a villain has been going on forever and he’s not interesting enough to justify that. I’m specifically hoping for more stories about Valkyrie at college that don’t feature that guy and actually depict her taking classes. I am expecting the conclusion of Kyle being investigated for tax evasion to be coming up soon, but I’m not sure what’s going on with Patsy. And I’m not sure yet if Dr. Strange has returned to the team or if that was only a temporary thing for the specific plot of these issues. Clea Strange has expressed an interest in joining the team.

And Hulk Comic was a black-and-white weekly anthology British magazine that began publication in March 1979. Some of the content in it is original and some of it is reprints of previously published comics but extensively edited to condense them to 3 pages. I’m skipping the edited reprints and am just reading the original Hulk content. As supplementary material to the main Hulk comics, I actually like these stories better than I did The Rampaging Hulk (1977) and do The Hulk! (1978).

The original Hulk story in issue #1 of Hulk Comic was written by Steve Moore, the ones in #2-3 and #5-6 and #9-13 by Steve Parkhouse, and the one in #4 by Kelvin Gosnell. The original Hulk story in issue #1 was penciled by Dave Gibbons, the one in issue #2 by Steve Dillion, the one in issue #3 by John Bolton, and the ones in #4-6 and #9-13 by Paul Neary.

Fawcett Comics:

the Golden Arrow stories in Whiz Comics (1940) #43 and #52 and #56 and #58 and #69 and #83

The Golden Arrow stories in Whiz Comics #56 and #58 were written by Otto Binder, the writers for the rest of the stories are unknown, and all of these stories were drawn by Harry Parkhurst. This was my first time reading any Golden Arrow, who was a long-standing character in Whiz Comics that actually appeared for the first time in the same issue that Captain Marvel did, Whiz Comics #2. Golden Arrow was a western character that fought with golden arrows and rode a white stallion named White Wind. Some of these stories here looked a lot like what I’ve read of Harry Parkhurst’s Hopalong Cassidy stories, another western Fawcett character, and a few of them actually looked a lot like his work in Champion Comics and Champ Comics which was a welcome surprise.

I selected these issues to read, and the Hopalong Cassidy stories I read last week, by checking what Harry Parkhurst had been credited with on the DC wiki website. But I checked the Grand Comics Database this week and saw that he actually drew a lot more Golden Arrow and Hopalong Cassidy stories than the DC wiki had listed. But I’ve decided that this was a good enough dive into his work for now and I’m ending my Harry Parkhurst journey after I read through the Golden Arrow stories he drew in Golden Arrow (1942) #4 just cause that was on my list to read this past week but I didn’t get to it. I do intend to read through the rest of his Fawcett work at some point, but it’s not a priority for me. I really enjoyed reading a variety of comics drawn by the same artist and seeing the variations in his style and I liked how this process got me reading genres I hadn’t ever checked out before, so I intend to repeat the process I took with Harry Parkhurst with other Golden Age artists whose styles look interesting to me.

Harvey Comics:

the Jungle Man stories in Champion Comics (1939) #2-9 and Champ Comics (1940) #11-12

I don’t know who wrote any of these stories. I could believe that Harry Parkhurst drew all of them, but the story in Champion Comics #2 has the name Don Traver within the art in a panel on the last page. The reason why I’d question that is that I’ve seen a few stories that are clearly not drawn or written by the same person that have the credit “by Don Traver” on the first page, including the Jungle Man story in Champion Comics #5 which looks just like the Neptina stories, which makes me think that this was a pseudonym used by multiple people. The story in Champion Comics #6 actually has Harry Parkhurst’s signature on it. There isn’t much of anything on Don Traver online, other that he also apparently also drew some Koroo the Black Lion stories for Bilbara Publishing, so I’ve added those to my ever-growing comics to-read list.

These stories started out following the adventure of Jungle Man, a ‘white savage’, in a Cambodian jungle. Then he agreed to move to America with his love Louise and her father Professor Carson, a plan that was immediately derailed. The rest of the stories had Jungle Man and co trying to survive on the jungle island they were shipwrecked on. This was my first time reading jungle-based comics and I thought it was interesting, though there were obviously some uncomfortable elements.

Note that there was actually a Jungle Man story, presumably also drawn by Harry Parkhurst, in Champion Comics #10 but I wasn’t able to read it because that issue hasn’t been scanned and uploaded online yet. And there were Jungle Man stories in Champ Comics #14-17 but I didn’t read them because Harry Parkhurst didn’t draw them.

And note that these issues were actually published by Worth Publishing Company and then Champ Publishing Company, because Harvey Comics didn’t take over the series until issue #18. I’ve listed these issues under Harvey Comics just because that’s the section on the Digital Comic Book Museum website they’re available under.

Eternity Comics:

the Betty Blake stories in Spicy Tales (1988) #3 and #5

These two 2-page stories, which were reprinted from the November 1934 issue and the July 1935 issue of Super-Detective Stories respectively, are all that’s available to me of Harry Parkhurst’s work from the 1930s. I had been completely unaware that there were any comics printed in men’s pulp magazines in the 30s before reading these. I saw a site that compared Betty Blake to another similar character from this era, Sally the Sleuth, and determined that in Betty’s stories “the almost-obligatory bondage and rape scenarios that Sally regularly endured (particularly in her earliest adventures) were absent” and that the character existed in “a seemingly more stylish and less raucous- if no less treacherous- world than the one Sally inhabited.” I enjoyed these two stories and would like to read all of her appearances if only they were available. There doesn’t seem to be as much of an effort online to scan old pulp magazines as there is for old comics, and the material the pulps were printed on probably doesn’t help.

The Betty Blake stories were actually both written and drawn by Harry Parkhurst. Both of these stories were recognizable to me as his artwork and didn’t seem any less skillfully drawn than the stories I read drawn by him from the 40s, despite the decade gap between them. Though the first story was drawn in a less-detailed style that looks more like his Jungle Man work and some of the westerns that he drew, and the second is more detailed and more reminiscent of his Neptina, Queen of the Deep, stories. The bulk of his western work, particularly what I’ve read of his Hopalong Cassidy stories, seems to me to be at a middle point between those two styles, but I think find the two solidly different approaches more appealing than the middle ground.

Eastern Color Printing Company:

the Connie pages in Famous Funnies (1934) #1-19

Famous Funnies, which reprinted popular syndicated newspaper strips, was “the first regularly published comic book in the standard format” and I decided to start reading the Connie reprints in it after seeing a page of the strip in Ron Goulart’s Great History of Comic Books and really admiring the art. Funnily enough, that page depicts the character time traveling, but everything I’ve read so far shows her in detective stories reminiscent of the Nancy Drew books that I read when I was younger. I’m not sure when it evolves into a science fiction strip, but I think the process will be interesting to read, though I did find these stories really enjoyable. Connie was both written and drawn by Frank Godwin and issue #1 of Famous Funnies had 4 Connie pages, issues #2-16 had 2 Connie pages, and issues #17-19 had 1 Connie page.

As I'm watching Midnight Mass, I am violently realizing why people go apeshit for Father Paul

I, too, wanna suck him off in the confessional, and I'm only on the first episode

ugh i want to peg father paul as he's clutching his rosary, panting his hail mary's, and make that man crumble beneath me. or on top of me. make him ride me so that i may see how his facial expressions change - his brows creasing, his eyes tightly shut, his mouth wide open, his nostrils flaring.

anyway. pegging father paul until he can't even pray anymore, his voice too hoarse and shaky, until he can only just barely string two sentences together, most of them being blasphemous, and the rest being so reverent that god himself would be jealous

---------------------

In the days after breaking Father Pauk’s view of celibacy, the guilt ate you alive. It prickled under your skin and made you queasy whenever you so much as thought about him. What had you been thinking?! He was a man of God, a holy man and a better person than you would ever be!

You wanted to skip masses out of shame, but you also couldn’t deny the want to see him. You loved those moments when you sat on the front pew, so close to him it felt like you could touch him if you just stretched out your hand. You loved seeing the passion and determination with which he preached, with which he delivered his homilies, and, not to forget, how kind he was with everyone.

Today was no different.

Wearing his purple chasuble - which looked illegally good on him, according to you - he delivered his sermon with the same passion as always. Grand gestures and his booming voice filled the church as he preached, his vestments flowing this way and that.

You were enthralled, and desperately hoped it wasn’t too obvious. At least, to anybody but him. He probably knew. He had to. He was a clever man, a man of wisdom, there was no way he didn’t know what he did to you.

Receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ, you kept eye contact for an obscene amount of time. He blinked a few times, clearly flustered, but regained his composure the instant he stepped away from you to bless the next person.

A devilish fire of delight roared in your belly.

When mass was over, you excused yourself to your family, claiming you had something to discuss with Father Paul. Which wasn’t entirely a lie. Mostly.

“Sweetheart,” he said, sounding a tad surprised to see you hang back. You smiled at him while putting your missal back on the pew in front of you before standing up and walking over to him.

“Father,” you all but purred and slithered up to him, pressing against him so that you could kiss his cheek and jawline. Your fingers dug into the purple chasuble, not quite wanting it gone yet still wanting him out of it so that you kiss him all over.

“You shouldn’t,” he admonished, but his voice betrayed him by brimming over with warmth.

“Shouldn’t what?” You feigned innocence and fiddled with the soft fabric of the chasuble while looking up at him, peering into those warm, dark eyes.

“You know what I’m talking about, heathen.”

The word was spat at you as he suddenly grabbed your hair and yanked your head back, a sharp gasp escaping you, and your eyes widened. There was something... new in his face. A lust, a yearning that you had never expected to see in him.

Then it was gone, his features softening, and he let go of your hair, clearing his throat and looking away.

“No, that’s... that’s not right. I’m sorry, that was... wrong of me.”

“Don’t apologize, Father,” you croaked, a weak smile on your face. “I don’t mind that.”

“I do. It’s not a good thing to say.”

Silence stretched out between you, and you cast your gaze down.

“Anyway,” he then said with a sharp inhale, and the smile was back on his face. “Did you have something you wished to talk about?”

“Not quite talk,” you confessed, batting your eyelids. He caught on and chuckled softly, shaking his head.

----------------------------------

Father Paul Hill was not who you had expected to see at mass that day. Not to be mistaken, he wasn’t a bad sight, at all, he was just not the Monsignor Pruitt that you had become accustomed to. With his lush, dark hair that curled in the back, he was so far from the Monsignor Pruitt who had run the church for as long as you could remember.

Father Paul Hill silenced the congregation which had, perhaps rightfully, been buzzing with questions and low conversations ever since he had entered.

Having introduced himself, and having explained why Monsignor Pruitt was absent, Father Paul Hill gathered them in psalms and praying.

You couldn’t keep your eyes off of him, try as you might. Your thoughts were pure, rest assured, they were, but you were curious about who this young man was, what his journey to here had been, what his reasons for being here were. You had a frightening amount of questions burning in your mind, and no answers were given that day.

No answers were given the next day, either. Or the next.

So, naturally, you decided to confront him. Not rudely, of course, no, not aggressively, just catching him after mass in the hopes that you could ask him some of the questions that seemed to burn through your mind, hanging in the air as tangible words that one could just grab.

“Father?” you queried the following day as the pews emptied after another enlightening mass.

Father Paul looked around, trying to locate who had spoken his name, and, seeing you, smiled fondly with a slight bow of his head.

“Hi,” he said, voice deep and warm and soft. You immediately felt safe. There was something about his voice, about the softness of it that enveloped you wholly and made you feel so at ease.

Reigning in a beginning blush, you bowed your head before him before speaking.

“I have some questions I hoped you could answer.”

“I’m happy to try,” he smiled.

You spent the rest of the afternoon talking, and when you exited the church, the sun was already sinking beneath the horizon, leaving a vague, smoldering streak of red on the sky. Beautiful as every sunset was, it stole your breath away, and you stood still, as still as a marble statue watching over the church, ensuring its safety.

Feeling lighter and more purposeful than ever after the conversation with Father Paul, there was a spring in your steps as you walked back to your little house on Crockett Island.

Every following mass, you would look at him as he spoke, so passionately and brimming with warmth, and maybe once, or maybe even twice, an impure thought would present itself. And maybe, just maybe, you invited the thought in, invited it to unfold and create an astonishingly beautiful world in which there was no sin, a world in which laying with your priest wasn’t wrong.

It was close to blasphemy, but in those moments, when Father Paul’s image was so vividly ingrained in your brain and on your retina, when you could practically hear him utter praise for you, you were beyond salvation and beyond God’s good grace.

---------------------

Mass was over, and you were on your way out, when Father Paul called for you. His voice forming your name was like nectar to a starving butterfly - you relished it dearly before turning around to face him.

This time, you couldn’t stop the blush going from your neck to your ears as you walked up to him, trying to act neutral.

He smiled at you, as he always did to everyone, and for the briefest of seconds, you wanted to curse at him for smiling at everyone, when you felt he should only smile at you.

Jealousy was an ugly feeling, however, and you did your best to purge it from your soul and mind. When you looked at him, instead of feeling jealousy, you felt flowers grow and heard birds chirp in your chest.

Last Line Game

Thanks for the tag @peachpety (and to you and @the-sinking-ship for starting this).  

Rules: Share your favourite closing lines from 10 of your stories (if you have less than 10 then list them all!). Feel free to skip any that might be too spoilery. Notice any patterns? Pick your #1 and tell us why you love it. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!

While I definitely think a strong opening line is important, I pay far more attention to my closing lines. I like my closing lines to be punchy and wrap everything up. In many cases, I also like to leave the reader with the impression that the story continues onward beyond the glimpse they’ve just seen.

Even though I’m very proud of the final lines of my chaptered fics, I won’t include them because they are spoilery. (I even have the final line planned for part 3 of my series, but I can’t share it yet because 1) spoilers, and 2) so much fic still to write….ahhhh!)

These final lines are all from Drarry drabbles and one-shots (posted in order of writing). 

1. Expulso Malum (T, 130 words)

Harry pulls him flush against his chest. As the strong, steady heartbeat lulls him towards sleep he wonders, not for the first time, how he got so goddamn lucky.

2. It’s Not a Competition (T, 249 words)

Pansy rolls her eyes. It’s not the first time. “Enough with the mind-fucking. Would you just go and shag already?”

Harry sputters but doesn’t object when Draco takes his hand.

3. Don’t Feed After Midnight (G, 332 words)

Harry slipped out into the hall, but he wasn’t gone long. He slammed the door shut, pale and out of breath.

“We may have to move.”

4. Light up Your Lust (E, 1298 words)

They put themselves to rights and tidy up. But when they leave the stockroom, George smirks and gives them a knowing wink. “Did you find anything?”

“Yes,” Harry replies with a sly grin. “It was most illuminating.”

5. Snowflakes (G, 366 words)

Malfoy moves his hand closer until their pinkies brush, and Harry can feel Malfoy’s warmth and magic flow through him. It feels like hope.

6. The Naughty List (E, 2711 words)

As Harry watches him leave, he’s left with a lingering visual — undoubtedly planted by Malfoy — of himself bent across strong, pale legs with bright red handprints on his arse. He smirks and resolves to be at least twenty minutes late.

7. A Grimmauld Wonderland (G, 1967 words)

Draco tries to look annoyed, but he’s sure his fond smile gives him away. He pulls Harry in by the lapel. “You’re ridiculous,” he says and captures Harry’s soft lips in a chaste kiss while Teddy claps in the background.

When they break apart, Harry grins. “And you wouldn’t have it any other way.”

8. Didn’t Think You’d Mind (T, 237 words)

“Are you hungry?”

Harry’s ravenous; but not for tea or scones. His voice comes out husky. “I think you should come here.”

9. Beyond Amortentia (T, 200 words)

Harry shivers with anticipation as Draco pulls him flush, his breath ghosting across Harry’s lips.

Draco whispers, “We’ll experiment first. You can take me to dinner after.”

10. Under Water (T, 283 words)

But Draco knew better. Harry may have the softest lips he’d ever kissed, but the wizarding world was fucked.

How could they all expect to be saved by a fish?

Now you want me to pick a favourite??? Gahhhhh! I’m proud of them all. But, if I have to choose, it’s a tie between #4 (I went with a pun) and #8 (a punchy ending, hints at more to come).

The Shining (1980) Commentary and Review

My creative writing class assigned us “The Shining” as homework (yes, the movie; I asked if having read the book counted, and the teacher said no). So I figure, if I have to take notes anyway, I might as well share.

Spoilers lie ahead.

Hmm. Idealic mountain scenery overlaid by a slow, ominous soundtrack. Nice. Oh hey, Jazz is in this (his VA is, anyway, lol). "He ran amuck and killed his family with an axe." No way anything like that could ever happen again! Hello, wave of blood and creepy twins in the mirror! That's not foreboding at all. Love the dismissive doctor saying there's nothing wrong with the kid. "Yeah, so my drunk husband kinda dislocated our son's arm." Doctor: hard stare Not even possessed yet and Jack already gives off dubious vibes. Creepy twins again. And here I thought the kid left alone with darts was bad. Oh, a hedgemaze! THAT isn't going to be a source of terror later. Hello, Mr. Crothers. You can really hear Jazz in his voice. Walk-in freezer. Check. Ah, but it's the pantry where things get creepy. The Shining has been officially name dropped! I hate how there are massive knives just up on the wall of the kitchen. Horrible, terrible things are in room 237, little boy. That's a nice typewriter he has. HEDGEMAZE. Model hedgemaze! With teeny tiny people in it. Oh no, it's the tricycle scene. The one clip from this movie that I've seen before. The nostalgia of a typewriter that goes clackita-clack as you write. I'd completely forgotten that you need to push the end back to the center every so often. Jack's a jerk. Creepy twin sighting number three, and they have begun to talk. And also some fake blood all over the walls! So far the most nerve-wracking scene has been Jack interacting with his kid. The music doesn't help. But I suppose that's the point. Oh, 237 is open. That's not good. Things be escalating quickly now. And we're not even halfway through. Sir, beer is not something worth offering your soul for. Nevertheless, the devil himself has appeared to collect. Sperm bank. How delightfully misogynistic of you. Hmm. A naked woman. Onscreen. What's the rating on this movie, anyway? (Also, sir, do not let the dead woman/demonic entity seduce you, that's what we like to call a Bad Idea). Ah. Rated R. That explains that. I did warn you not to, you foolish man. Also, I like how room 237 opened right near the middle of the movie. It's around the 40% mark rather than 50%, but it seems to have been a clear midpoint. Things are ramping up now. Ah yes, an entire room full of people in this empty hotel. Nothing concerning here. Yes, Jack, no charge. You already sold your soul for drink, remember? Sir, do not tell the dead man how he died. That's just asking for trouble. Oof. Wasn't expecting the n-word to be dropped. I actually really like how the second half of Act 2 has been fairly quiet compared to the first half. There's stuff you know shouldn't be happening, but it feels very innocuous compared to what's already happened.

And immediately after I say that, Wendy grabs a baseball bat and I know we're heading into Act 3 pretty soon, lol. Ah! The All Is Lost. Right on cue. The return of the walk-in freezer. And the knives on the walls too! Everything's coming to a head now. Okay. Now All Is Lost. Okay, "red rum" becoming "murder" when viewed in a mirror has to be one of the cleverest things I've seen in a movie. And now Jack is just your stereotypical ax-murderer, limping around far too quickly for that bad leg. HEDGEMAZE. Wow. That gold room has gone full on mausoleum. Good, you're reunited. Get in the snowcat and go. Wow. He really just froze to death, huh? Wait, so they just end it there? They escape, he freezes, and not so much as a word of explanation to what was happening? I mean, yeah, the place was very obviously either haunted or possessed, but still. I find myself unsatisfied. Like I could have skipped the last twenty minutes and gotten the same result (not gonna lie, after a while it was just kinda tedious). Overall: Not a bad movie. I liked the buildup, and the lull after the Midpoint before things ramped back up again. It's just the last half-hour or so where it began to feel drawn out and repetitive. Ironically, the lapse into ax-murderer actually made it less scary to me (though that might just be because I've watched enough horror game playthroughs to be desensitized to "chased by a thing", lol). The bits where Jack was yelling at his wife about his work and well-being were a lot more uncomfortable because that sort of behavior from an abusive partner is 100% grounded in reality. While it's true that some abusers do try to kill their families (or even succeed), I feel like all the dead people and general haunting business at the end dragged it down.

Still, a good movie. I'd give it four out of five stars.

Shoyou couldn't hide the excitement in his voice

"What is your news Sho-kun"

"Sho I'm so happy I don't know what to say I'm so surprise, wanna give you a hug so tight right now"

"Hehe Tsumu do it when I came home, Will you not ask when I'll go back"

When he looks my way

He gave me a beaming smile

He run towards me

And he jump at me

And I catched him and the board fell to the ground

We look at each other niether one of us wants to looking away

That expresses all the longing and love we feel for each other

His hands starts playing my platinum blonde hair

We stay in each other's embrace

His arms atvthe back of neck and his legs crossed on my waist

My hands on his back

He suddenly close the distance of our face until our lips meet in a passionate kiss

We pull away from each other breathless

"I miss you so much tsumu" he said as our nose touch

"You know Shoyou sometimes I don't mind that we're oceans apart you know why?"

I look at him

There is a confuse look on his face

"So you really don't miss me that much Tsumu"

And he pouted at me

"Of course I miss you Shou , It's just that I feel even though were miles apart You'll always come home to me"

I'm kinda embarassed that I said thag so I looked away

"Cause I'll always come home to you Tsumu eventhough it may take months and years I'll always always come home to you"

I look back at him and saw the man that I fell in love since I was in highschool

We smiled at each other understanding all the unsaid words between us

[johns-prince]

I need two parts to explain about Paul and Stu. This is 1/2. I think people don't understand that while yes, Paul himself admit he was jealous of John's friendship with Stu, because they were older and considered themselves too cool for Paul. Stuart ( people fail to mention but you can read his letters online) enjoyed putting Paul down saying he was not cool, he was too young/lame, not artistic enough, desperate for John's attention and honestly encouraged Paul's jealousy. John was a bit of[1/2

[2/2] John was a bit of a dick to Paul too, the typical 'in public i say you are not that cool, needy and i'm with the cool guys' and in private needing Paul and wanting Paul to be the closest to him. I love John but it's very obvious he hurt Paul during that time. It was specially bad bcs Paul disliked the fact Stuart put no efforts in improving his bass and didn't take serious, skipping rehearsals, gigs to be with Astrid. But remember: Paul was the one John asked to go to Paris with him paying

Oh no, I know. I’ve read SOMEWHERE though I’m not sure I reblogged it [stupid git] actually describing Stu as someone who enjoyed antagonizing Paul, teasing him, almost rubbing it in his face, how much John enjoyed him and liked hanging out with him so much. 

It wasn’t as much as them being older, as it was because Stu was the same age as John [they had met in art college] that sort of feels like you’re gonna be given second place because suddenly your friend has friends his OWN AGE now, who are artsy and creative and blah blah blah...

“WHEN HE [SUTCLIFFE] CAME INTO THE BAND, AROUND CHRISTMAS OF 1959, WE WERE A LITTLE JEALOUS OF HIM; IT WAS SOMETHING I DIDN’T DEAL WITH VERY WELL. WE WERE ALWAYS SLIGHTLY JEALOUS OF JOHN’S OTHER FRIENDSHIPS. HE WAS THE OLDER FELLOW; IT WAS JUST THE WAY IT WAS. WHEN STUART CAME IN, IT FELT AS IF HE WAS TAKING THE POSITION AWAY FROM GEORGE AND ME. WE HAD TO TAKE A BIT OF A BACK SEAT.“ - Paul, from the Anthology.

Today, every time Paul talks about his feelings for John, he never put himself in the first place, he always has to involve other people into it. Examples: every time he says that he loves John, he always ends up saying “WE loved John, me and george..” there always must be someone else so that he is not alone and doesn’t expose himself too much. When it comes to jealousy, it’s the same. Every time he mentions his jealousy towards Stuart, it’s always “we” “me and george”, when George literally gave zero fucks about Stuart. [source: @mclennonwasreal ]

and I don’t doubt John sort of gave Paul and George shit for being the youngsters, especially if Stu was both egging him on and starting it. Though remember, John wasn’t a bully, nor did he try to be a bully. So I seriously doubt he meant anything he said, especially if it was out of temperamental emotions. I want to assume John probably thought Stu was just, taking the piss out on Paul, you know, as boys do with each other. Honestly, I think this time around John was probably the more oblivious, with Paul trying his hardest not to show he’s jealous/envious because Paul isn’t as open as John is about things like that, but Stu perhaps catching on that Paul is jealous/envious, and finds it both amusing and annoying. John was truly stuck in the middle. 

And apparently Stu didn’t even want to be in the band, at all, he was actually forced too as they simply needed another member to go to Hamburg. So of course the guy didn’t give a shit to begin with-- so I don’t blame Paul for being annoyed with him for basically slagging off his duties to the band and all that, because Paul was passionate about the music and the band, just like John was. 

Which is why technically, Paul really had no reason to be envious/jealous, or afraid of losing his place besides John. Stu was into art, and John loved art yes-- but Stu wasn’t into music like John was. Paul was really the only person who ever understood John when it came to his love for music and creating music. 

John and Paul not only shared the same passion for music and had the same talent in writing songs that none else had around them, and they also formed a huge bond after Julia died, cause they both knew what it meant to lose a mother when you’re so young.

Stuart was creative and charming, and had a bohemian vision of life John was attracted to. With Stuart John shared his love for art and literature, but with Paul John shared his entire world and life. [source: @mclennonwasreal ]

In the end, John would always choose Paul over Stu, it’s just, you know, John could be a downright bastard, and maybe he did strut around with Stu to get under Paul’s skin, who knows? John wasn’t stupid, he might have caught on too, just never voiced it. 

This quote makes me laugh because I think it shows a clever, indirect way Paul was able to express a bit of his jealous/envy towards Stu without being too obvious what exactly he was jealous/envious about:

“Paul had always felt himself in competition with Stu for John’s attention, even though their respective friendships with John were on entirely different levels. With his omnivorous musical talent, he was already a far better bass player than Stu could ever hope to be—and also at least as good a drummer as Pete Best. Onstage at the Cavern, he had once been heard to shout at Stu and Pete, “You may look like James Dean and you may look like Jeff Chandler, but you’re both crap!”— John Lennon:  The Life by Philip Norman (pg. 237). [x]

So yeah, in the end, John still chose Paul over everyone else. Stu was a great friend, someone in which John could also connect to on some level-- but he wasn’t Paul, and he’d never be on the same plane as Paul when it came to John’s affections.
