WOO MORE FANART AND THIS TIME IT'S SILHOUETTES WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING I NORMALLY DO SO IT'S QUITE BARE BUT IT'S STILL FANART SO YAY
it's slightly blurry but still
A continuation of the previous ficlet.
***
After the initial shock of Geoff sprouting wings had worn off, Eli gently shook Geoff until his eyes opened. His head rolled for a few seconds but he finally found Eli. "...What happened?"
"...You passed out," Eli said gently. "How do you feel?"
"Terrible. My whole body hurts." Geoff closed his eyes and wiped at his head in irritation.
"Can you sit up?"
"Not yet."
"Okay. Just lay there a while."
"Okay." Geoff tried to roll over onto his back, but the wings were in the way. "...What am I laying on?"
Eli looked up at the others, not knowing how to answer. Tony made a helpless gesture and Layne cleared his throat. "Roll over the other way."
Geoff rolled over onto his stomach and his wings spread out on either side of him. "I feel so damn weird." He reached out with his right arm, and he froze as his fingertips brushed a wing. His eyes went wide, and he slowly turned his head to see the outstretched wing to his right.
"It's okay," Eli said quickly, putting a hand on Geoff's shoulder. He felt like a fool, but he didn't know what else to do. "Just stay calm."
Geoff slowly turned his head to his left and saw the other wing. His eyes got even wider before rolling back, and he went limp on the floor.
Eli sighed. "He's out again."
"Well," Layne said, "at least he's calm."
***
Geoff came to about half an hour later and they managed to get him to a changing room and sit him in a chair. Geoff could only sit and stare at his reflection in the dressing mirror in bewilderment and disbelief.
Why couldn't I have angel wings instead? With nice pretty fluffy feathers? And to make matters worse, black horns were growing on his head, and his fingernails were turning into black claws. What's happening to me?
Layne knocked on the door frame. "Hey. You doing all right?"
Geoff looked over at him. "No." He looked back at the mirror. "We're...we're sure I'm awake."
"Unless I'm having the same dream." Layne came over. "Eli and Cesar went to break the news to Kathy."
"What!" Geoff turned his body to face Layne and nearly toppled from the chair as the wings threw him off balance. He grabbed the back of the chair to steady himself. "Kath can't find out about this!"
"How are you going to keep it from her?"
"I..." Geoff's voice trailed off, and he hung his head. How could he keep Kathy from finding out? He couldn't hide in PattyCake for the rest of his life. "...I don't know what to do, Layne."
"We'll figure something out."
"Yeah..." He looked back to the mirror in frustration. He just wanted to be himself again...
A shock went through his body and he gagged from the sudden pressure in his torso. When his eyes cleared he looked in the mirror to see himself as he had been before all this started. The heat returned as the pressure in his chest built to an intolerable level, and he was finally forced to let it go. The sensation of the wings and horns regrowing was highly unpleasant, and he couldn't stop the shudder that racked his body.
Layne grabbed his shoulders. "Are you okay?"
"For the second time, no." He swallowed back vomit.
"What happened?"
"I...I was thinking about how I wanted to be myself again, and then that."
Layne's face lit up. "You can change at will! That's great!"
"Layne, I can't hold it!"
"So you need some practice. It's better than before, right?"
Geoff sighed, tired, and rubbed his face. "I guess so."
Layne's phone went off then, and Layne pulled it out of his pocket. "It's Eli. He's video calling." He answered. "Hey Eli. What's up?"
"Hey Layne." Eli's voice was concerned. "Is Geoff awake?"
"Yeah, he is. Did you tell Kathy?"
"Well...not yet. There's a problem."
"Problem?" Geoff asked. "What problem?"
"See for yourself." A second later Layne's free hand went to his mouth, and he handed the phone to Geoff.
Eli had given the phone to Kathy, and Geoff gasped as he saw her--with horns and wings identical to his own, except a soft shade of gray. Kathy's mouth dropped as she saw Geoff, and for a few seconds all husband and wife could do was stare at each other.
***
Layne began to worry when ten seconds passed in complete silence. He wasn't even sure Geoff had blinked. "Hey, Geoff..."
Geoff's eyes rolled back and the phone clattered to the ground as he fell out of his chair. Layne sighed as he picked up his phone, which showed Geoff's living room ceiling. "Well, Geoff's out again."
"Yeah," Eli said. "So is Kathy."

Hi I have caught up to you on having feelings about Zhuzhi-Lang. He's a good boy! 🥺 Good snake boy! 🥺 I had the thought, after Zhuzhi let SQQ leave after SQQ yelled at him... what if they Stole Him. What if.
(Also have you read/been recommended anything by corduroyserpent yet? Big writer of Zhuzhi-Lang fics, including a very cute de-aged Zhuzhi-Lang and some zhushen)
Justifications of bride-stealing!
(AND HE'S THE BEST BOY 😭 I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, SO MUCH!! have some further au thoughts because this has contaminated my brain...)
What I think would actually happen if they stole SQQ? Absolutely nothing good for anyone, LBH would Lose His Fucking Mind xD as a more interesting answer though, I like the idea that Shen "Pedantic Nitpicky Asshole" Qingqiu's primary point of argument is that he is not a bride so he cannot be "bridenapped" regardless of demonic tradition or intention!
This eventually leads to them all completely avoiding the Maigu Ridge incident because TLJ realizes that, somehow, SQQ doesn't realize the depths of his son's feelings for him and decides to put all his efforts into being a wingman for his nephew instead because he finds the entire thing absolutely hilarious and rather satisfying after his own sad romance. Obviously someone like SQQ would do much better with his good, loyal nephew than the disappointing offspring of that disastrous relationship!
As for ZZL he just has to assume that LBH must not be treating SQQ anywhere near the way he should be (and like... he isn't wrong at this point, there is a non-zero amount of torture and terror going on here) if SQQ doesn't see himself as being tied to LBH in any way. And if he's not attached to LBH then there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't make his own efforts to seduce SQQ! After all, if LBH isn't valuing SQQ properly then obviously ZZL has to step up because someone as kind as SQQ deserves the best!!!
#svsss#zhushen#zhuzhi lang#tianlang jun#shen qingqiu#sqq#zzl#tlj#my art#if this is incoherent please pardon me orz the timeline is all jumbled up in my head i read this series way too fast#but this is the rabbit hole your ask sent me down#listen i love zhuzhi-lang SO much#he is SO good and also so stupid bless his scaly heart#and tianlang-jun does NOT help matters#i want to see their combined efforts to woo sqq away from lbh i think it'd be hilarious#...however considering this would take place before getting ride of xin mo i can't imagine things. uh. go well if dragged out too long#lbh is not in like a super duber place mentally at this point in the story#on the other hand can you imagine shang qinghua witnessing this and doing his ABSOLUTE best to nope out of that nightmare#LBH'S FATHER AND COUSIN ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE PERSON LBH'S DECIDED TO ROMANCE?? WHEN HAS THAT EVER WORKED OUT WELL IN PIDW????#KEEP SQH OUT OF IT!!!! (he's not going to be allowed to stay out of it)#sqq's mental gymnastics over this romantic offensive would be very impressive#well you've given me a nice thing to think about while falling asleep tonight#EDIT: oh and as far as corduroyserpent i know i've at least read their ''i shine only with the light you gave me''#that one was absolutely WONDERFUL i was very emotional about it - i don't know whether or not i've stumbled across any of their others tho#i'll have to dive into their ao3 profile and search it more intentionally though if they come with praise like this 👀

Weddingpeach.net update
I have (finally) updated Weddingpeach.net for the first time in 2024 to include the following:
A new layout by Never Enough Design and a new header image I whipped up featuring a manga scan of Peach and Viento.
Subpage image updates in line with the new layout.
A special sidebar image I commissioned to celebrate 30 years of the Wedding Peach manga!
9 new 1200 dpi image scans in the manga gallery. That's right, I'm finally scanning high-res furoku! You an check them out on the 1995 Ciao Furoku page and the 1996 Ciao Furoku page.
Updated/removed dead links from the Website page.
I had wanted to do a bigger gallery update when launching the new layout, but with my health issues I thought it would be best to just get what I have online lest the 2024 manga anniversary get away from me.
Please visit, link and share this website if you're a fan of Wedding Peach. I am trying my best to make it a useful resource and I'm just overjoyed right now that fans can celebrate 30 years of the manga.
Thank you Yazawa-sensei, Tomita-sensei, and all others involved. Here's to another 30 years of loving this amazing manga!

bbc: Some sweet #Silvacre content for your FYP ❤️
#silvacre#suranne jones#rose leslie#vigil#the bbc making a silvacre fan edit was a pleasant surprise :)#i saw the streaming numbers for vigil 2 were very good (understatement)#which makes an s3 at least a possibility#if they can write a story suranne and rose would sign on for#i'm counting on what suranne said that the continuation of the love story is a big part of what brought her back#the series does a good job creating dramatic tension and conflict within a happy relationship that doesn't involve cheating or one dying#if they do a 3rd season i hope that continues#i mean the series started with amy in the worst possible place emotionally and psychologically so surely they wouldn't go there again#s2 with its wlw mlm solidarity/parallel storyline and giving us more insight into amy and how far she's come since s1#on top of all the other things i liked this season (which i enjoyed quite a bit in addition to the ship)#at heart it's very critical of the british government and military/war machine and some reviews seem to have missed that part#anyway i'm pleased as punch that a prestige bbc drama has two women in love at its center and a lead as compelling as amy#and that it's pulling in the numbers even without the submarine and claustrophobia (admittedly a cool premise)#keep making the fanvids bbc social media team we appreciate you#queue

hard to ignore: part 3
part 3: "rehearsal"
pairing: reader x fuckboyidol!san genre: smut, fluff word count: 6.3k warning(s): rough making out, dom!san, hate sex, name calling, manhandling, fingering, alludes to sex, talks of virginity
you will admit, the way you acted yesterday was definitely out of hand. but today was a new day.
everything that happened yesterday, you were just going to forget about. forget about your embarrassing decision to stand in front of choi san's infuriating face and tell him off for being the dick he was and probably has always been.
it's now day 2 of the 3 seoul shows that are kicking off ateez's first world tour since the pandemic and today, you were getting to work on not only their makeup, but their outfits. you woke up still in disbelief that this was your job.
and nothing else was going to happen today to risk it again. not choi san, not jeong yunho, not eunchae. you were going to mind your business and grace these boys with the best outfits they've ever seen. and that's all you were going to do.
yet still, you were at their trailer door by the time it rang 8 am on your phone. just as he wanted you to be.
you scratched your arm and straightened yourself, waiting for one of the members to open their door. you could see your hot breath coming out of your mouth into the morning chill. you were somehow more nervous on day 2 than you were on the first day- but you're pretty sure you knew why.
the door opens and the sound echoes through the trailer lot, as you were the only ones up at this hour. yunho stood at the door with a warm smile, letting all the cold over your arms and in your body melt away. however, the smile quickly changed to a gaping mouth in shock.
"oh my god, did we leave you out here too long?" he reaches his arm out and grabbed the makeup bag out of your shaking hands and gently pulled you inside their heated trailer. "i'm sorry..usually hongjoong is awake but i think after the adrenaline of last night, we all crashed." he scratches his neck and looks down at his feet.
you walk into their trailer to find that the director had brought their day 2 outfits already, each carefully zipped in their costume bags, for you to sew to your hearts content and tether perfectly to all eight bodies of ateez. you felt a smile creep across your face.
you turn back to face yunho who was still looking down, ashamed he left their poor stylist outside for too long.
"don't sweat it," you reassure him with your now beaming smile. "right now, i'm itching to see what outfits they're giving us to work with!"
you place your bags down and run over to the bag labeled "SEONGHWA," giving into the temptation and running your hands over the zipper.
you turn back to yunho, whose soft smile had returned to his face and he tilted his head at you with endearment of curiosity. you beamed at him. "can I please open this now? seonghwa always has my favorite look...and I might die if I don't get to see it right now."
the coffee machine behind yunho chimes and he jumps out of the trance your eyes had put him in.
"shit! my coffee!" he scurries over before his coffee spills over the mug. "y/n, of course you can," he reassures you as he lifts the mug carefully over to the fridge for creamer. "you're our stylist. and i think you should get a good look at the outfits before we put them on."
you bite your lip nervously. "alright....fuck it. you're right." you tear into the bag (carefully, of course) and reach your hand in to pull out seonghwa's suit.
you gasp. a red vest with a plunging neckline wrapped in a formidable black coat that was as long as his pants hanging off the hanger. the sides of the jacket turned to the deep blood red of the vest. you could smell the scent of fresh fabric and feel the softness of the fabric between your fingers. a very seonghwa outfit indeed.
"did you see mine?" yunho says behind you. you turn you heard to see him grinning from behind his coffee mug, sipping carefully with one arm leaning on the counter. "i think it's my favorite of all of our outfits this tour. maybe even ever."
you roll your eyes at him. "now that has to be a stretch. your outfit yesterday was amazing." you remember the black velvet and gold trim jacket you saw him in yesterday as he was performing the ring, remembering the way he became a different person, one much different than the sweet, gentle guy you were talking to right now.
yunho takes another sip of his coffee and sighs. "i mean, i loved it, don't get me wrong. but it's just...something about outfits that show off my body shape." he shrugs and puts his coffee cup down. "let me show you."
he walks over to where you are near the couch and takes the bag labeled "YUNHO." he unzips it and carefully takes out the outfit
in the same deep shape of red, yunho's outfit is much different yet just as elegant as seonghwa's. it's half red-half black with a black, floral decal on the right shoulder. no jacket or baggy pants. just a glorious button-down, perfect for a performer like yunho. and definitely better than yesterday's outfit.
your mouth hangs open in shock. "wow, you were right about one thing. it's definitely much more form-fitting."
you reach your hand out to take the bag from him and your fingers brush for a second. yunho probably doesn't notice, but you do. you try to ignore the fact his fingers were soft, maybe freshly moisturized. he smelled good, too. you wonder how long he's been-
"the rest of them will be ready soon, they're all awake- i'm just the only one who remembered you were coming, i guess." he beamed at you and offers a hand to pull you up. "and since i'm all ready to be prepped, i'll take one for the team and go first." he winks at you and puts his hand to his heart, in honor. "i'll sacrifice my sleep to give the guys some time to recoup and actually eat something."
you smile softly at him. today was already looking better than yesterday.
-
once all the boys finished getting ready, you were able to start rotations for fitting them for their outfits. they were generally well-fitted on them, but you did some last-minute tailoring.
you could tell the boys were probably not completely comfortable with their outfits. wooyoung kept pulling at the shirt under his red blazer and seonghwa clearly wasn't comfortable with the length of his coat. so you opted for wooyoung to just remove the button down completely.
wooyoung checked himself out in the mirror and got shy when he saw the way his chest was more exposed with the shirt removed. you hid your smile; you could not deny seeing the evident mercedez benz logo on his chest more clearly this way.
he turned back to you with his hands together, thanking you. "this is much better. lord knows what i would've done if i had to dance in that shirt."
and for seonghwa, you squatted below him, taking scissors and trimming the fabric to a little below his knees, giving him enough leg room that would make it easier to perform the first set of songs. you hadn't realized that performing answer in such a long coat would probably be easier said than done.
but you could tell seonghwa felt infinitely more confident in a shorter coat than a longer one. he spun around in the mirror like a little girl playing dress up for the first time, his eyes glowing and a smile lighting up.
seeing the members feel good in their outfits made you finally feel useful today; not like a klutz. or someone getting in their way.
you better stay away from me if you know what's good for you-
"y/n, this is just- wow."
seonghwa's voice shakes you from that memory, one that felt so vivid but so distant. but you smile at him, forgetting all about it.
"you look stunning. regal, even." you put your hands on his coat again, unbuttoning the coat and revealing more of his neckline and deep red vest. you looked up seonghwa, who was looking down at you, with that intimidating glare and sharp cheekbones.
but his gaze transformed into a big smile with his eyes squeezed shut the way it always does. "only the second day and you already are proving to be our best stylist yet."
you roll your eyes at his comment. "oh please, you're just saying that." you nod to his coat, "it was a simple cut and sew, easy. it wasn't that special.”
seonghwa punches your shoulder playfully. "hey, don't put yourself down like that. we all are thankful you came to kq."
you scratch your arm awkwardly, looking away from seonghwa's genuine, caring expression. you knew he meant well, but you have trouble believing everyone at kq wanted you here. especially after-
"hey, don't let whatever happened between you and san get to you. please." seonghwa looks at you with sympathy and pleading. you can tell he means what he's saying.
"man's an ass. we all know it. i don't even need to know what he said to know that he's already getting to your head." he turns back to the mirror to straighten his coat. "you just gotta put him in his place and he'll get off you. only time he ever gets his way is when you let him walk over you."
you look at seonghwa's face in the mirror and he raises an eyebrow at you. "so don't let him. just tell him to fuck off."
that was the first time you had a genuine laugh for the first two days.
now that was funny. telling your superior to go f himself. yeah, that would end up better than yesterday.
you in san's face backstage. san staring daggers into your eyes. san barging into your trailer. you can't stand the way he's starting to consume your mind.
you stop laughing to look at seonghwa. "yeah, like that'll end well." you scoff.
but seonghwa's face remains indifferent. suddenly, he turns around and heads towards the door. "thank you for everything, y/n. and im serious. someone should really just tell him that one day." he shoots you one last stern look, almost like something of an older brother, who cares about you. "and its certainly not gonna be me." he walks out.
you look at the clock. it's currently 9:06 AM.
be ready by 8 am. you shake the thought of your head, shaking the sound of his degrading, scratching voice out of your head.
while waiting for him, you head over to the bag labeled "SAN" to get his suit ready.
just by taking the jacket out by the hanger, you can already tell this was definitely choi san's. the shoulders of his jacket made the plastic hanger look like it was a child's one. the difference between the broad shoulders and tiny waistline was evident. and not to mention the deep neckline on the jacket, similar to mingi's and seonghwa's. but if you can remember choi san's build, when you looked up at him towering over you last night, you wouldn’t be surprised if more than just his neck would be visible when he put this on.
"personally, i think it's not enough. how am i supposed to dance in that thing?"
you whip around to see him leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed. he was wearing the same frown he had when he was at your trailer door.
you put the jacket down, turning back around and refusing to make eye contact with him. "do you even know how to knock? stop sneaking up on me."
he walks over to you and the jacket. he takes it from you, feeling the frabic under his fingers. "no, i don't think i will. i think it's payback for the way you spoke to me yesterday."
you grip on the chair next you so he can't see the anger fuming in you again. can he just shut up and be normal like the rest of the members?
you force a smile and you walk away from him, trying to keep a healthy distance between the two of you. “can you please just put this on so we can get this over with it?"
he clutches it to his chest and tilts his head, pouting. "i just walked in here, goddamn. you want me gone already?" he clicks his tongue.
you move back to the table to grab your measuring tape. you weren’t putting him. "i would prefer to speak to you as little as possible." you turn back to him. "since you said you never want to see me-"
you stop in your tracks when you come face to face with back muscles. san's back. you're staring right into his bare skin as he had already started to take his clothes off to try on the jacket.
he turns around holding the shirt he was wearing ten second ago and you come face to face with his bare chest now. you felt a little overhwelmed. he wasn't even in makeup or any clothes. just his plaid pants and no shirt. you could see the hint of the temporary tattoo of an 'A' peaking out of his pants on his lower abdomen. he was toned. really toned. there were ridges over his chest and you could clearly see the shape of muscle in his upper chest. his nipples were hard. maybe he was cold. or maybe he-
"don't stop on my accord. what were you saying? since i said what?" he threw his shirt on the ground and started taking off his pants.
you shielded your eyes. "you don't need to get undressed here, san." you point to the closet, still putting your head in your elbow. "the members just got changed in there.
san just rolls his eyes as he takes his pants off. "c'mon. you're telling me you've never seen a guy's body before? i don't mind" he put his hand over his heart. "honest to god. and besides. you should get a good look at me before. you know, to make sure this jacket will fit." he shakes it in front of your face.
you look at him now over your fingers, shielding your eyes from below his abdomen. the way your body reacted to just seeing his chest, there's no telling what you would do if you saw anything below his waist.
"i think i'm good for now, just...." you stare at the way his back muscles tighten as he lifts his arms up to get the jacket over his head. the ends of his black hair brushing his shoulders and his biceps flexing. he turns back around at you once the jacket is through both of his arms and he starts pulling the buttons through the loops. but you can tell he's clearly struggling. probably just to get you to help him.
"it won't- go in," he grunts, trying to pull the little button through. you roll your eyes at his feigned anger. you groan under your breath and grab his jacket, realigning it and slipping each button into the holes. he was like a helpless child that wanted your attention.
you try your hardest to not look straight ahead at the grooves of muscle on his chest and the shadow of his pecks near the opening of the jacket.
god, it was not this difficult with any of the members. they were so easy to work with and did not make your job more difficult, more distracting. something about san just made you so infuriated, so tense. but you could also feel something pooling your stomach when you looked at the way the jacket hugged his waist.
"there," you assert, stepping back to admire how he fits the jacket. and so you can get away from his intoxicating presence.
san does a 360 in the mirror, flexing his arms and moving around in different directions to test the movement within the jacket. it fit very well. but you could tell by the concerned look on his face, it wasn't quite right.
"there's too much.." he starts, pulling at the neck and trying to make more space in the jacket. "i need more freedom to move, this thing just has too much...everywhere. and it's tight."
looking from behind, you can tell san's jacket was about to bust open. his back and shoulders were so big it made it hard to find a suit jacket that could fit a body like his. clearly, whoever made this still could not do him justice.
however, you remembered one of san's stage outfits having a slit between his shoulder blades to give him more leg (or shoulder) room. while san continues to pull at his shirt, you grab the scissors.
"hold still," you tell him and grab onto his shoulders from the back to keep him from moving. taking the black fabric on his back and pinching it, you cut about a half foot size slit right in between his shoulder blades.
when you finished, you struggled to want to let go of his shoulder's. you felt a sort of security feeling shorter than san and you kind of enjoyed holding on to the muscles under his jacket.
but he did the work for you, stepping out from your hands and looking at himself in the mirror again. this time he was able to move his arms and back muscles much more comfortably. he gave you a big grin from the mirror.
"much better. just a small tweak, but i feel better about this already." he turned to you. "is there anything else you need then? because i feel pretty good as of now."
he looked down at you with his brown eyes. compared to last night, the stone face he wore as his lips twitched at you, san looked almost...cute. or something like that. you almost felt glad you could make him this happy.
“that’s something he’s never wanted.”
yunho's voice reminds you; now, san's pout looks more like a manipulation tactic.
you point the scissors in san's face, "my only request, choi san, is to let me know how that jacket holds up. and don't wear it to rehearsal. i don't want to run the risk of you ruining it before show."
"damn, okay." he holds his hands up like you just pointed a loaded gun and not fabric scissors. "but put those things down. im not gonna hurt you, baby."
you roll your eyes and slam the scissors on the table. "see? this is what i'm talking about. stop calling me...names. or anything other than y/n."
he rolls his eyes with a shit-eating grin, "i'm just trying to be nice for once."
your gaze is locked into that shit grin you want to wipe off his face. it's a shame he was such an ass because he looked really fucking good at this moment.
your grip tightened and curled on the scissors on the table. "after last night, i have trouble believing you even know what that word means."
san crosses his arms, his neckline opening and showing more of his chest. you keep eye contact with him.
"last night? you mean when i came close to touching your-"
"hello?" a voice at the door. yunho's.
god bless for all the interruptions today.
you shoot san one more stern look and he's silently laughing to himself, ignoring you.
"i think that means its my time to go." he put's two fingers to his brow and then points to you. "see ya, baby"
he opens the door to see yunho straightening his shirt. he freezes when he realizes it's san at the door.
san pats his shoulder. "keep her warm for me." and he walks out.
-
it was finally time for the boys rehearsal and you decided to watch today. scared of seeing san yesterday, you decided to not let him get to you again today.
you sat behind the stage mix, right across from the extended stage. you had a perfect view of everything and it almost felt like you were getting a private concert.
you crossed your legs and laid back in your arena chair. it reminded you of the feeling of being a k-pop fan before this, before you were offered this job. screaming in these seats at the men on stage flashing their smiles and dancing, losing your voice to your own screams, your heart beating out of your chest from the adrenaline.
but now you're sitting in this arena as someone who knows these boys like colleagues. even might have a toxic flirtationship with one...
"cmon, no one will care," yunho had said to you as you checked the fit of his button-down a couple hours prior. "you deserve a vip view of an ateez concert- one without any of the fans competing for our attention."
you rolled your eyes and shrugged your shoulders. "i know someone who might care if i'm there."
yunho grabbed both your shoulders and bent down to match your eye level. "y/n, please don't tell me you're letting him get to you again. just ignore him. he's an ass."
you look into yunho's big brown eyes. yunho was so thoughtful and caring and you had only just met these boys. how could he be so sweet, touching your shoulder and looking into your eyes? but his bandmate didn't even know how to hold a conversation that didn't poke at the insufferable sexual tension hanging between the two of you whenever you had to be alone with san.
you pouted, slightly. "i'm trying, but he just finds new ways to get under my skin and be a piece of shit when he talks to me."
a really fucking hot piece of shit. but you digress.
yunho grips your shoulder harder. "you're going to come down to our rehearsal and have some fun. you deserve it."
suddenly, the lights turned off. the beginning chimes of hala hala could be heard throughout the arena. it finally hits you you're getting a front-row view of one of ateez's most powerful songs since debut.
you stuck your head a little higher up to get a better look over the stage mix. you could see eight silhouettes walking out from the main stage and you tried to make out the shape of each one.
from the left, seonghwa had on a white shirt and black pants barely covering his ankles, already donning the pointy dress shoes he was probably going to wear during tonight's show.
yeosang had on a grey compression shirt that really hugged everything in. and matched it with his black dress pants.
hongjoong donned a bare face with black baggy basketball shorts and high top jordans with brown socks. his hair could be seen peeking out from his hoodie.
yunho had on a baggy black t shirt, but wore light grey joggers. when he saw you in the crowd, his eyes lit up, breaking the trance hala hala had placed him under in order to wave an awkward hi to you. you grinned and waved your fingers back.
jongho had on a dark blue flannel and black joggers and running sneakers, holding his deep purple microphone in his left hand.
mingi had on his off white beanie, almost covering his eyes and all his hair, also donning a hoodie with a beige flannel over it. very boyfriend-esque; a striking juxtaposition to his onstage persona that he would release tonight.
wooyoung's hair was wet from a shower and slicked back by the water, therefore he was wearing his black windbreaker that reached almost to his knees with grey sweatpants.
and then at the end, you could see san wearing-
you froze.
san was not wearing his normal dancewear. anything could be better than this. even seeing him totally shirtless again from a couple feet away.
anything was better than the fact he was wearing exactly what you told him not to.
he walked out in his black and red jacket you just cut for him, the one you specifically told him to avoid wearing before the show.
but since when did choi san ever listen to something you asked of him?
you're jaw locked and you squinted your eyes at him. his gaze went from hala hala intimidating to another shit-eating grin and a silent laugh, right in your face.
oh, you were going to fucking kill him.
the members started dancing together in unison as the pre-chorus hit. but you only watched him carefully.
as it built to the chorus, san's part came up where he pumped his fist down to make the members shake behind him.
he looked directly at you as he pumped his arms down on each beat, tongue peaking out his lips and his eyebrows raising. you kept looking at him. don't fucking try anything.
unfortunately, the song continues with san performing like he's never wanted to impress someone more. he flung his body on the stage floor and kicked high enough his pants almost ripped. you just crossed your fingers he didn't mess up the jacket you fixed for him before the show even started.
if the jacket ripped during the show, it wouldn't matter as much. the fans might even swoon at the thought of seeing san's jacket rip from the sheer width of his shoulders.
but as his stylist, you didn't want san to get on that platform during their first song with a ruined outfit.
but san couldn't give less of a fuck about that. as long as he was getting under your skin, that's all that mattered to him.
finally, as the bridge built to its climax, you watched san growl something inhumane before the dance break.
outside of the seething anger you felt towards san, you couldn't deny the presence that oozed off of him while he was on stage. even in an empty arena, he was performing his hardest and pushing himself to an extent that the average human body couldn't reach. and no matter how much you wanted to ignore him, no matter how much you wanted him to get off stage, your eyes couldn't help but be entranced by his face the whole song.
finally, the music cuts and you look at the members lying on the ground, huffing thick air into their mics and holding their hands on their chests to catch their breath.
on the front stage, you see san laying on his back his arm over his head, nipples peaking out from under the jacket he so carelessly wore.
crossing your finger, he finally uses his arms as leverage to stand up. he sits up and turns his back to you, revealing what was left of the slit you gave him.
to your dismay, the slit of fabric no longer existed, but the entire jacket was split down the center.
the fabric was curling down out of the jacket, the skin on his back on display for you to stare at as you could even see the sweat dripping down, down, down-
"san!" you stood up. you stared him down from where you were sitting fifty feet away from the stage.
san turned to face you, his hair dripping sweat and covering his eyes. he blew a bang out of his face and blew you a kiss
-
"you're so fucking dense," you growl under your breath as san closes the door to the dressing room, his jacket in two pieces and sweat soaking his body.
"you're just so fucking arrogant, idiotic, stupid, so-"
"i get it!" he yells back, running his fingers through his hair. "can you shut up? oh my god. you really are annoying, sometimes, do you know that?"
not this again. you rolled your eyes at his comment. "i swear to god, san. if you don't stop berating me for every little thing i say-"
"maybe you should unclench a little, y/n. it's just a jacket, jesus christ." he scoffs.
you clench your first. you've just about had it with him.
"maybe you don't care because either way you're getting paid after this, but it's my job to take care of your clothes." you cross your arms at him. "and i gave you a specific order not to wear that before the show. was it really that hard to follow?”
san sits back in the dressing room chair, putting his hands behind his head, now unfazed as ever. he laughs.
"yeah, i heard. but i didn't care." he sighs and a smile grows over his face.
you scream from inside your throat. you wanted nothing more than to punch that grin right off his face and show him how you really feel.
"well, now your concert jacket is destroyed because you wanted to make an absolute fool of yourself as a sick way to," you take a deep breath to control your anger. "i don't know- get back at me for telling you off yesterday?"
he leans back in the chair, biceps showing through the tight jacket an he tilts his head back to show the way his adams apple bobs out of his throat. a deep chuckle leaves his mout.
"yeah you could say that." he sits back up and this time, he spreads his legs open, leaning forward and putting his head into his right hand. "but i also wanted to see your reaction to seeing me like that on stage."
you crossed your arms. "like what?"
he stands up and walks over to you. slowly, he turns around to show you a xclose up his jacket.
the rip was infinitely bigger in person, but damn you could see every muscle in his back. sweat from rehearsal was still dripping down his back. he smelled sweaty but with a hint of a sharp, clean cologne that made you want to grab him and bury your nose right into his skin.
you pretended you didn't like seeing his back like that. "what am i supposed to be looking at?" you poke.
he turns back around and faces you, his grin making an appearance in front of you again. his hand reaches to your hair and brushes it out of your face.
"i need you to stop pretending you don't feel what i'm feeling right now."
your mouth gapes open. you couldn't believe he was saying this right now, in a situation so serious. however, something about the way his fingers felt brushing your forehead, you can't deny, that familiar heat was pooling in your stomach. part of you wanted to vomit, but also have san touch your skin one more time to bring it back.
you set your jaw. "i dont know what you're talking about. you really need to learn when to shut up and listen-"
"ohmygod, y/n." he grabs your chin this time and tilts it up, looking down at you. "i saw the way you were eye fucking me on stage earlier. cut the bullshit."
you slit your eyes and push him off you and he stumbles back, slightly in shock you actually fought back.
you stand still. staring at him, covered in sweat, hair over his eyes, plunging neckline putting his nipples back on display. it was really hard to want to punch him across the face when he looked like that, when he smelled like that, when he talked like that.
you stare at each other for a little longer. finally, san walks closer once more. this time he puts his hand on the wall over your head, looking down at you.
you stare daggers into his forehead. he just smirks and cracks his neck.
"no snappy response this time, huh?"
you stare back up at him.
"fuck you, choi san."
he grins, his eyes closing and he breathes in through his teeth sharply. he reopens them.
"fuck you, too."
his lips were on yours before you could even register that he pushed you against the wall with that much force.
the kiss was sloppy, desperate. you weren't even sure if there were any feelings in it. but you both knew it stemmed from the unbearable sexual attraction you felt to one another in this moment.
his hands traveled from the wall to your waist, squeezing them and twirling his fingers in the ends of your shirt. your hand curled under his arm and you squeezed the skin on his back to hold on as he kept his lips glued to yours, not even separating them to breathe.
you didn't know what you were doing. but you didn't care
"fuck, baby," he finally breathes into your mouths, "you're so-"
"just shut the fuck up and kiss me," you breathe back, putting your lips back on his and wrapping your arms around his neck.
he takes his hands off your waist and puts his hand under your thighs. he lifts you up, your ankles locking around his waist in return. your lips never separate from his as his mouth opens to accept your tongue in return.
he puts you on the dressing table, pulling at the waistband of your jeans.
his fingers brush your lower abdomen, just below your bellybutton and you clench at the feeling of someone being so close to you, so close to your core.
you smile into his lips and laugh a little. "san, i swear to god,"
"what?" he says, smiling back and dipping his hands past the waistband this time. "i'm not doing anything."
"i don't want you anywhere near my-" you cut yourself with a breathy moan out of your lips.
"hm? what were you saying?" his hands were now past the band of your underwear, cupping the shape of your heat and pressing slowly. "you don't me anywhere near your...."
another moan, louder this time, escapes you. you tilt your head back. "san, just shut the fuck up please. i don't wanna hear your voice."
san dips one finger little farther than the others as he leans into your ear. "yeah, but baby, i wanna hear yours."
you bite your lip and hold back a third moan, not trying to stroke san's ego already more than it has, considering he got his hands far as they've gone. but the feeling of his finger dipping inside you like that made it hard to keep your morals.
"san, san, san, please, i-" you stutter. he looks back down at you now. he removes his other hand from your waist to fist your hair, tilting your head back so all he could see was your bare neck.
"use your words, princess. or i'm gonna make it harder this time." you felt a second finger make it's way to your entrance.
san breathes into your neck and starts leaving open-mouth kisses all over your collarbone, his grip on your hair still strong as ever.
"san, please, i need- fuck!" you stutter again, this time with a whince of pain from your hair pulling out of your head by his grip on it.
"can't believe i got you to fall apart like this so fast. maybe i should just fuck you right here for being such a whore." he kisses your neck once more. " i didn't know you had this in you, but fuck. i'm not complaining."
your legs were still wrapped around his waist so you started to feel a bulge pushing through his pants. but you could not say anything with the way your nipples were piercing through your white t-shirt.
"is that what you are?" san puts his lips to your ear. "a whore? hm? letting a man you just met touch you like-" he inserts his second finger to meet the other one. "-this."
you shut your eyes tight, breathing heavily, trying to hold back your moans once again. you didn't want san to stop, butt he thought of admitting it to him made you want to vomit.
you breathed out once more and looked into his eyes.
"n-no." you choked out.
san raises an eyebrow. "hm? oh really?" his fingers start pumping faster.
you nod fast, biting your lip. don't stop, please don't stop.
"so you're a fucking virgin, huh?" he says, louder this time. his hand releases on your hair and throws your head forward.
"makes sense," he says, his fingers still pumping at the same, delicious speed. "i've never felt a pussy this tight, fuck. i bet i'm the first one to be this far inside you"
you suck in another breath. "san, oh my god, please, stop talking."
his knuckles curl in you the moment you let that out your mouth. god fuck, how did he get so deep that fast?
san laughs in your ear again "i think i should just stick my cock in this pussy already, that'd stretch you out faster, hm?"
you can feel a third finger making its way. you're not sure if you're ready to cross that bridge.
san inches the tip of his third finger to your clit "just admit you want my cock right here-"
"y/n? are you in there?"
the voice outside shakes you both and you jump right off the table. san pulls his fingers out of you and tucks them behind his back.
"hello?" yunho.
you look at yourselves in the mirror. your nipples were hard and visible through your shirt.
san's jacket was wrinkled and his cock was hard in his pants.
you put your hoodie on to cover your nipples and the wet stain in your jeans. san sits on the chair to cover himself.
"coming!" you say to yunho outside.
you turn to look at san one more time before opening the door. but instead of wearing the same mortified face you couldn't get off your face from the last ten minutes, san wore the biggest smile you ever saw, looking more content than ever.

Werewolf by Night: Red Band (Vol. 1/2024), #2.
Writer: Jason Loo; Penciler: Sergio Dàvila; Inkers: Jay Leisten and Aure Jimenez; Colorist: Alex Sinclair; Letterer: Cory Petit
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Werewolf by Night: Red Band#Werewolf by Night: Red Band vol. 1#Werewolf by Night: Red Band 2024#Moon Knight comics#Moon Knight#Mr. Knight#Marc Spector#Elsa Bloodstone#Khonshu#It’s wild that they vaguely allude to the Moon Knight annual with Jack’s plot to get Khonshu via killing Diatrice#but only very vaguely#and I think that’s wild considering how much that explains Marc’s reaction here#Marc’s no Spidey in that Marc WILL pull the trigger and lethal force is never complete off the table#when it comes to potential courses of action#but Marc — who’s intimately aware of what kind of terrible people can turn things around if given a second chance#since that’s part of his story — will usually go through a couple more options for jumping to «kill on sight»#or in this case encourage others to take Jack out for him by appealing to their sense of responsibility (pffft MARC)#just a bit of an interesting dynamic for him and perhaps he’s so willing to relent and make this so-called house call#in other news I really do love Elsa’s boots#also this is actually a month late with no. 3 (which judging by the cover will also have MK) slotted to have been released#this past Wednesday#I’ll keep an eye out but maybe the delay is due to this being a red band series?#which please don’t mind me with this quick aside#but I find the marketing of red band series so funny like#«this comic is polybagged for your protection! 🚨 Minors DNI! 🙅🏻 The contents of this issue are so objectionable#you WILL be put on a watchlist the moment you buy it!!!! 😤» and you look inside and it’s just ???#maybe I’m just desensitized (and already on perhaps too many watchlists) but there ain’t even entrails (I respect the hustle though haha)

how do u draw so much so fast
well,
#the short answer is autism and ritalin. btw#the long answer is: i wake up anywhere between 730-0900. i draw. if i have work when i come back i go and i draw.#i go to bed anywhere between 0100 and 0230. i wake up the next day and i draw.#i dont draw fast and in fact i get distracted and/or procrastinate quite often#i just have 16 hour days! every day! i am awake for 16 hours! sometimes more depending on the general mood! [cursed emoji here]#and like! wtf do you even do at that point?? how do you fill a 16 hour day? an 110 hour week? an almost 6000 hr year?#i draw! i have been drawing *seriously* since grade 2! and i have *seriously* loved the persona series since like mid/late 2017!#for those of you keeping score at home; i am 19! 2017 was grade 7 for me! ive loved this series for almost a full third of my life!#[continued emotional rant cut for length] but this is my community and my arts been the way i interact with this community since#(looks at my blog archive) 2019 when i posted my first persona art! please dont look at any of that now tho lmao!#so i guess. if the long answer needs to be short too then the long answer is love!!!! its always been love!!!! AND ALSO STILL RITALIN!!!!!!#asks & requests#personal

the last couple years have truly been a Weird Girl On Screen Renaissance and i am so thriving in it. we got Vanessa Shelly, weirdass cop who wants to dance with an insomniac and later throws his sleep meds in the river and is the daughter of William Afton. we got Lucy MacLean, former Vault dweller who's off on her own little quest and somehow manages to be uniquely unhinged in the already off-the-rails world that is Fallout. we got Lucy Carlyle, who is admittedly less weird on the outside but when you actually get to know her inner monologue it's clear that she's just perfectly weird as all teenage girls should be. oh and one of her best friends is a haunted skull.
i love you weird girls in popular media. i love you so much.
#please let's keep this going#please give us more weird girl representation#like i know this post reads like a joke but there is genuinely something uniquely wonderful about these characters#in that they're female but they're not stereotypical or written to satisfy anyone's gaze#they're their own people and they just happen to be weird and they're allowed to be weird#love them for that#lockwood and co#lockwood & co#lucy carlyle#vanessa shelly#fnaf movie#lucy maclean#fallout tv series#fallout amazon

Phupha 2 telling Kram 1 he'd pick the first person he had even if he fell for a second person just made me gasp. Cause I mean. Well. Phupha 1 had a fiancée, then met Kram 1, then said absolutely nothing about her to Kram 1, but once Kram 1 did find out about her & met her tried to pull out some "baby I was gonna tell you, I promise it's not what you think!" And then he just died? And now Kram 1 is falling for Tai 2 while also being like "no you love Phupha 1" like that entire man isn't dead???
Please someone just hug Tai 2. Like my god. His whole ass man died and then his man's other world double showed up and he tried to keep his distance but caught feelings, but Kram 1 still thought he could just switch Phupha 2 in for his dead Phupha 1 just for Kram 1 to realize he doesn't actually want Phupha 2??? And he does what Tai 2??? Please someone just hug Tai 2. I'm begging.
#two worlds#two worlds the series#Tai is GOING THROUGH IT#and honestly I don't even get the sense he is still grieving Kram 2#that's not to say he didn't love him and doesn't miss him#but his Kram died 3 years ago#he has had time to process it#that's why he tried say hard to keep his distance from Kram 1#whereas Kram had six months to accept Phupha 1 is dead and Phupha 2 isn't his#yet he clearly hadn't started that process and probably wouldn't have if Tai hadn't kissed him#so again#someone hug Tai please#preferably Kram once he accepts he does want this Tai and Tai isn't trying to replace Kram 2 with him#having said all that#how the fuck is this gonna end though???#like I would say maybe Kram will stay in Tai's world especially because his mom is there#but his world has his dad and is he just gonna be like nah fuck him it's fine#I'm still just so invested in this show#MaxNat really are doing it again!#regular clyde

Ok but sometimes the most infuriating political stance a person can have is point blank refusing to discuss social issues with you when you bring it up because they "don't want to get political". Don't open the tags unless you want to read a rant
#my random stuff#vaguepost#vent post#like... babes. how do i explain EVERY DAMN THING YOU DO can be considered political by some metric#YES that includes your silence#also the fact that they will happily talk about being a socialist and fuck the tories and everything#but then if i ever want to discuss something that doesn't directly affect them they will literally just shut me down#like i know our normal friendship consists of sunshine and rainbows and silliness#but I'd fucking appreciate if you didn't ruin that friendship by refusing to agree with me about things that should be a no brainer#I can't even discuss fucking JK ROWLING with them!! because their sibling loves harry potter and they always say “it's just a kids series”#and “let them have their nostalgia”#OH I'M SORRY.#DOES YOUR FUCKING NOSTALGIA MEAN MORE TO YOU THAN MY LITERAL SURVIVAL AND HEALTH???#like. I'm sorry but there's more important things here#babygirl i don't know how to explain to you#that if a political party said they were going to kill all lefties people BUT give all right handed people unlimited access to horror films#you would vote for them wouldn't you?#even though I'm left handed you'd say “of course i support left handedness how can you even question that”#<- shit metaphor. i know.#but i could point out “yeah they want to kill me” and they'd say “I just don't know enough about it to discuss this; sorry”#like??? if you don't know enough#maybe. fucking?? educate yourself??? by having discussions about it???#PLEASE pull your head out the sand sweetie#saying you care is just empty fucking words#i shouldn't be saying this; they're one of my oldest friends but GOD.#if you can't even agree with me about jkr being a fucking holocaust denier we're going to keep having problems

Golden flame danced between her fingers.
Elide recoiled, and the fire vanished as quickly as it had appeared.
"My name is Essar," the female said softly. "I am a friend--of your friends, I believe."
Elide said nothing.
"Cairn is a monster," Essar said, taking a step closer. "Stay far from him."
"I need to find him."
"You played the part of his mistreated lover well enough. You have to know something about him. What he does."
"If you know where he is, please tell me." She wasn't above begging.
Essar ran an eye over Elide. Then she said, "He was in this city until yesterday. Then he went out to the eastern camp." She pointed with a thumb over a shoulder. "He's there now."
"How do you know?"
"Because he's not terrorizing the patrons of every fine establishment in this town, glutting himself on the coin Maeve gave him when he took the blood oath."
Elide blinked. She had hoped some of the Fae might be opposed to Maeve, especially after the battle in Eyllwe, but to find such outright distaste...
Essar then added, "And because my sister--the soldier you spoke with--told me. She saw him in the camp this morning, smirking like a cat."
"Why should I believe you?"
"Because you are wearing Lorcan's shirt, and Rowan Whitethorn's cloak. If you do not believe me, inform them who told you and they will." Elide cocked her head to the side.
Essar said softly, "Lorcan and I were involved for a time."
They were in the midst of war, and had traveled for thousands of miles to find their queen, and yet the tightness that coiled in Elide's gut at those words somehow found space. Lorcan's lover. This delicate beauty with a bedroom voice had been Lorcan's lover.
"I'll be missed if I'm gone for too long, but tell them who I am. Tell them that I told you. If it's Cairn they seek, that is where he shall be. His precise location, I don't know." Essar backed away a step. "Don't go asking after Cairn at other taverns. He isn't well regarded, even amongst the soldiers. And those who do follow him... You do not wish to attract their interest."
Essar made to turn away, but Elide blurted,
"Where did Maeve go?"
Essar looked over her shoulder. Studied her.
The female's eyes widened. "She has Aelin of the Wildfire," Essar breathed.
Elide said nothing, but Essar murmured, "That was... that was the power we felt the other night." Essar swept back toward Elide. Gripped her hands. "Where Maeve went a few days ago, I don't know. She did not announce it, did not take anyone with her. I often serve her, am asked to... It doesn't matter. What matters is Maeve is not here. But I do not know when she will return."
Relief again threatened to send Elide crumpling to the ground. The gods, it seemed, had not abandoned them just yet.
But if Maeve had taken Aelin to the outpost where they'd lied that the Valg prince had been contained...
Elide gripped Essar's hands, finding them warm and dry. "Does your sister know where Cairn resides in the camp?"
For long minutes, then an hour, they had talked.
Essar left and returned with Dresenda, her sister. And in that alley, they had plotted.
Elide finished telling Rowan, Lorcan, and Gavriel what she'd learned. They sat in stunned silence for a long minute.
"Just before dawn," Elide repeated. "Dresenda said the watch on the eastern camp is weakest at dawn. That she'd find a way for the guards to be occupied. It's our only window."
Rowan was staring into the trees, as if he could see the layout of the camp, as if he were plotting his way in, way out.
"She didn't confirm if Aelin was in Cairn's tent, though," Gavriel cautioned. "Maeve is gone--Aelin might be with her, too."
"It's a risk we take," Rowan said. A risk, perhaps, they should have considered.
Elide glanced to Lorcan, who had been silent throughout. Even though it had been his lover who had helped them, perhaps guided by Anneith herself. Or at least had been tipped off by the scent on Elide's clothes.
"You think we can trust her?" Elide asked Lorcan, though she knew the answer.
Lorcan's dark eyes shifted to her. "Yes, though I don't see why she'd bother."
"She's a good female, that's why," Rowan said.
At Elide's lifted brow, he explained, "Essar visited Mistward this spring. She met Aelin." He cut a glare toward Lorcan. "And asked me to tell you that she sends her best."
Elide hadn't seen anything that came close to pining in Essar's face, but gods, she was beautiful. And smart. And kind. And Lorcan had let her go, somehow.

sorry i know the dlc only been out for two days i'm a freak for spoilers
and also it'll take me aaaaages to beat the dlc bosses but, like, i understand why people are Not Pleased with how the story went simply by nature of enough time had passed that everyone had made up better versions of the story to fill in the gaps than there ever was going to be in reality. every shred about the twins in elden ring was so massively compelling in its lack of information that everyone just Made It Better Than It Was and i think i kind of agree that undercutting the radahn/malenia stuff was a WEIRD move but unfortunately i am a huge sucker for the "good" character falling into the exact trap that he's trying to escape. it does something for me. you try to escape the cycle and you merely continue to perpetuate it. also representation win, the little dude was gay the whole time.
idk i just feel like there was no way they were going to finish this off in a way that was going to be.... g...ood? that's not quite the scale i want to be using here because so much of what makes this interesting to begin with is the fact that youre required to read between the gaps in information so when you're then HANDED said information it's going to feel disappointing because it simply doesn't fit in the gaps that you filled in.
#like OBVIOUSLY there was going to be rot to miquella like please#someone i follow said the story was simply too big for the game and i agree with that#this is a story that would be best served as a novel series lol it needs introspection within itself#// shadow of the erdtree spoilers#anyway i love..... elden ring......#i don't know my thoughts are halformed becuase i keep trying to avoid spoilers while reading everything i happen upon

hey. what the fuck is up with Ratchet and Clank merch
#ratchet and clank#I was like ‘I have literally three pieces of merch of R&C despite it being my special interest since elementary school I should fix that’#*goes online* the fucking horrors#what do you MEAN everything is at least $100 dollars or more??? excuse me???#the employee exclusive one is almost always over a thousand dollars. y’all see the one priced like a small car right.#the fucking PLUSHIES ARE A HUNDRED DOLLARS???#why.#the TINY FUCKING PIN IS $90????#btw the three pieces I have are the Funko Pops (I am not a huge Funko Pop person but I saw them release and pre-ordered them for my b-day)#and then the Ratchet and Clank art book. that is all#I have all of the games but like. that’s not /merch/ per se it’s the actual series content#actually I take it back I no longer have all the games bc I’m missing the very first game in physical copy + the PSP games + the PS4-5 ones#and I am the most fucking rabid Ratchet and Clank fan. I am autism insane about it. and I don’t have ANYTHING#do you see how much of a tragedy this is. do you understand how damaging this is to me every single day#that I do not have a Clank plushie to hold. a Ratchet plushie to keep him company. and an Alister Azimuth action figure to abuse.#my goal is to make that video essay I’ve had in my brain for years and make Insomniac feel so seen that they gift me something.#bc of the heartfelt please of a disabled poor person that has loved their series so much all their life#I’m going to punch through a steel wall

I'm returning the brainrot of ep 6 to your archive. vv brainrot continuation:
a hangover pill vs a hangover carbonarak.
pizza with pink bacon is just no comment. idt Mek was killed with eyes as much as August was killed in the kitchen.
the interlaced hands reminded me of Puen, who asked Talay if he and Mek held hands.
Mork's T-shirt with meaning.
Mork makes Day smile like Talay made Puen smile by making faces.
Day thinking that August forgot his birthday vs Puen in our skyy.
ok, all perfumes belong to puentalay and morkday.
surprise birthday party.
firecrackers, frightening Day and Puen.
why did the departing Mork remind me of Puen leaving, listening to music.
we meet the dawn with hope for a new day and wait for the sunset, because no matter what the day is, there will be something beautiful in the end.
I'm sure I missed a lot of things, but I still can't muster the strength to review ep 6. I had to settle for highlights. also Merry Christmas Monica. may your brainrot not calm down next year.

im a bit late because of family being around but THIS IS TRULY THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT I COULD HAVE EVER ASKED FOR!!!!!!!
thank you so much for taking the time to rewrite the brainrot that went missing, pinkybrain 🥺 even if it may not be as complete as the first one was because the episode was still fresh in your mind, i hope you know i really appreciate this and that it made me really happy!!!!!!!!
and maybe it's because i haven't had the mental fortitude to rewatch it either, but i feel like episode 6 in general doesn't have as many parallels as other ones do, but the few that are in it are very on the nose imho. like the surprise birthday party?????? which was probably the first one for both day and puen?????? puen and mork walking away like poor sad little meow meows because they believe talay and day are gonna be with another man??????
and speaking of puen and mork being poor sad little meow meows....
i call this 'pathetic losers (affectionate) watching the men they love hold hands with someone else'
ALSO I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS UNTIL YOU SAID IT (probably because the italian in me was too busy being horrified) BUT NOT THE DAMN PINK BACON ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ✋😭
AOF NOPPHARNACH CHAIYAHWIMHON IM IN YOUR WALLS
i don't have much to add to what you said tbh (even if im probably missing something too), but i do keep thinking that the puentalay glasshouse kiss and the morkday rooftop kiss are similar
i mean. they obviously have very different emotions and very different intentions behind them so they can't really be compared under this point of view, but the way they're set up????? LIKE AM I BEING EVEN MORE INSANE THAN USUAL OR AM I ONTO SOMETHING PLEASE BE HONEST WITH ME
#THE PINKY AND THE BRAIN CHRISTMAS PIC WAS SOOOOO CUTE PLEASE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 🥺💜#im late but merry christmas to you too my dearest pinkybrain!!!!!!#im so happy i got to talk to you this year and i really hope we can keep going insane about vice versa together next year!!!!!#also wishing you all the happiness and love in the world for the new year!!!!!#last twilight the series#vice versa#m: ask
