I am ridiculously happy about the answer!! Now Benny it's the only boy that makes sense for the role, wow. now, 1: "he’s obviously Frankie’s closest friend" DAMN??? you're really all about the excruciating pain. 2: I was eying Will this whole time only for you to tell me it's because he's the most similar to Frankie. damn again? you're so clever 🤯 3: fruity girls unite! Adria Arjona got me too. Thank you sooooooo much for the considerate answer, ily 🧡
Hey Nonnie 🧡🧡🧡
If you’re happy I’m happy ☺️🤗
1/ Listen. LISTEN. I don’t know why I love that stupid movie so damn much but I love that stupid movie so damn much and I’ve spent a shameful amount of time overanalysing it. Closely observing the protagonists’ body language (for science ahem 👀) (I certainly did not watch Tom for pleasure 😒) and dissecting dialogues, and yes, my conclusion is that when the movie opens, Ben and Frankie are the closest. And yes, I went for the throat 😇 I like pain.
2/ See above. Too… much… time… Will and Frankie are both quiet, reflective, intelligent men. Both carry deep wounds and contain fathomless inner worlds. Frankie can be softer (up until he starts fucking killing people lol), he’s caring, more inclined to levity and humour. He will put everyone else’s needs first. Will has more pride, and a great sense of honour. And he sought treatment where Frankie sought an escape. My baby is definitely the most broken. Oh god I love them.
3/ YAY!!! Adria Arjona got me good and so does Rosario Dawson who’s my Rosie, I just went and wrote two of my biggest crushes in there 😬
Don’t thank me, Nonnie, I’m thanking you 🥹 For reading my story, for taking the time and effort to send me asks, for being so kind and for chatting with me about this stupid movie that I love so damn much.
And you know what’s not stupid and that I love so damn much? You 🧡🧡🧡🧡💋

The Scent of Leather and Hairspray
Present Mic/Hizashi Yamada x F!reader ONESHOT
(WARNINGS! - swearing)
---------
Sooooooo, I have a new favorite Pro, I guess haha
I hope you enjoy, and if you're underage, pretend you're older because I get it, I'd be Hot For Teacher too, but he's not a pedo sorry......
----------
You sighed as, upon exiting the store where you just purchased a frozen drink, the men you passed to enter that store started catcalling you. Just what you needed at the end of a rough day...
"Hey Honey, you'd be cuter if you smiled...!"
"Don't listen to that shit, babygirl, you're sexy as hell, c'mere and hang out a while...?"
Ignoring them the best you could, you kept walking, but they didn't take that very well. "You think you're too good for us, that it, stuck up bitch? Where you think you're goin'?"
You could hear their footsteps approaching behind you and turned to face them after sipping from your drink.
"Guys, please, I've had a hell of a day today and my quirk would probably scar you both for life and what do you say we just don't do this, huh?"
They exchanged glances before fixing you with threatening glares. "You think you're tough, babygirl? We'll see how tough you are when we get through teaching you some respect..." the first one said.
"HEY!"
A voice called from behind you and suddenly an arm was draped gently around your neck. You froze, being caught off guard tended to prompt a panic response when you were so tired.
You smelled leather and an overwhelming scent of hairspray.
"What's the trouble, my homies? Pretty sure ya heard the lady, she ain't jammin' to the vibe ya layin' down, ya dig? Beat it."
Heart skipping a beat or two, your eyes grew wide and a blush flooded your cheeks. "That voice...?!"
You whipped your head up to see the one and only Present Mic.
"Ah! I knew it! I knew I recognized your voice, I catch your radio show every day! You're the Sound Hero, Present Mic!" he flashed a grin down at you, winking.
"Oooh, you've got good ears, Listener! Thanks for Hypin' me up like that! Always great ta meet a FAAAN!" he responded in his commentator voice.
One of your would be tormentors interrupted angrily. "Hey, peacock head, why don't you mind your business?"
"PEACOCK...?! You boys best get ta steppin', aight?! Don't make me beat you up in fronta this pretty girl!" he replied in annoyance after his attention was so aggressively stolen from you.
The blush came back in full force and you couldn't contain a dreamy sigh as your lashes fluttered, eyes lidding contentedly now that you felt safe again.
*he said I was pretty~!* you thought.
"You believe this banana hair lookin' motherfucker? You're about to get your ass whooped, fruity!" the other threatened.
"Hey bro, watch your language! There's a lady here!" with the arm around your shoulders, Mic carefully raised it and guided you behind himself as the two started walking towards you both.
"Enough..."
Another voice came suddenly from the other side of the parking lot and everyone, with the exception of the blonde who was guarding you, turned to see Eraserhead.
Suddenly these jerks weren't so confident.
"Get lost, both of you, and go straight home or I'll bring the two of you in right now for loitering and harassment." he said calmly but with deep authority.
Mic crossed his arms, glaring at the duo as they ran off after a mere moment of hesitation, his cheeks puffed out slightly. "What a couple creepozoids! You okay, Pussy Cat...?" he quickly spun around to check you out, striking a dramatic pose while pointing at you, the trademark grin already back in place.
You smiled up at him with admiration sparkling in your eyes, clasping the cup you held in both hands and tight to your chest, stepping closer to him.
"Yes, thanks to you! You're my Hero~!"
Mic felt his own chest swell with pride a bit, the grin on his face getting bigger as he relaxed his stance and shoved his hands in his jacket pockets.
Usually by now the damsel has already flung herself on Aizawa, but not only were you praising him, you recognized him from just his voice and he was impressed at that.
"I can't believe I was just rescued by my favorite Pro, I am your #1 fan! Please, are you patrolling the city tonight? Please let me buy you a coffee or tea or something?? Just as a thank you...?"
Hizashi laughed rather loudly, one hand emerging from his pocket to be placed over his chest.
"HAHA! Aaaww, how can I say NO when you ask so sweetly?! Coffee sounds like a rockin' idea right about now!"
"Ugh, we don't have time for this, Mic..." Eraserhead complained tiredly.
Eyes rolling in exasperation, the blonde groaned twice as loud. "ugGHHH!! Don't be such a buzzkill, yo! I'll get you one, too, just chill!" with that, he trailed after you back into the store.
You watched as he doctored up the coffee you poured for him, blushing again when he threw a hint of a smirk your way, using the tip of his finger to lift the gold tinted shades he wore and showing you his emerald green eyes. "Don't worry, I'll pay for my boring friend..."
Smiling, you bounced on your heels. "Damn right you will, I'm not HIS fangirl, after all..."
This promoted a slight blush to his face, but he maintained that knockout grin. "Ha! Well, good thing his best friend is here at least, lucky for him I tagged along tonight, huh??"
"Lucky for both of us..." came your soft reply from over your shoulder as you turned to walk away, your hips swaying temptingly had definitely not escaped his notice.
He followed you to the checkout counter and placed some money beside yours, his ungloved fingertips brushing against your own when he does. Leaning down closer to you, he cocked his head, pushing his shades down his nose this time and raising a brow.
"Does my #1 fan have a name...?"
Your smile bloomed again, blushing up at him. "It's _______...but I might prefer you calling me Pussy Cat...~"
Saying that last bit, you applied a sensual undertone which he picked up on instantly, making his blush spread over his face and grow darker as he chuckled in amusement.
When you guys walked out the door, you noticed Eraserhead seemed really annoyed but tried to ignore him, looking up at the Voice Hero hopefully.
"Listen, I know you're both busy, but if you have just one more second to spare, I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if I could get your autograph..."
Looking away awkwardly, he made a pained expression. "Aw, man, I dunno, we are kinda in a hurry here and stuff..."
You felt your heart sinking when he startled you with another loud laugh. "Hahaha, gotcha! JK! Of course I will, I ain't gonna leave ya hangin' like that, no way, that ain't my STYYYYYYYYLLLE!"
Giddy with excitement, you let out a tiny squeal, quickly fishing out a small notebook and pen from your purse as he set the cups down. When you handed it to him, his fingers brushed yours again, making you bite tenderly at your bottom lip.
They were so warm and soft...
He had started to whistle a cheerful little tune as he spun the pen between his fingers before starting to write in your book, it took longer than you expected, clearly longer than Eraser expected, too.
"Say goodbye to the girl, Mic, it's time to keep moving!" he didn't yell, exactly, too lazy, but he had raised his voice since last.
"YEAH, YEAH, I HEARD YA!!! Gimme a sec, ALRIGHT?!" the volume of the blonde's reply actually made your eardrums flinch and quiver this time, but you smiled anyway as he defended you again.
"There ya go! And hey, just to spite my buddy over there, I wouldn't mind walkin' ya home ta make sure ya get there safe."
The blush came right back, clutching the book to your heart, you gave a weak smile. "No, no, it's okay, really...I took up too much of your time already, and I only live around the corner from here..."
Eyes closing momentarily while you gathered yourself, you took a deep breath before confessing. "...I cannot express how grateful I am for you...not just for saving me tonight, but also for your talk show, hearing your voice over the radio gives me strength and motivation every week...it means the world to me...thank you..."
Beckoning him by flexing a finger, you stood on your tiptoes and pressed a sweet kiss against his cheek when he leaned in curiously.
Eyes widening, his whole face became scarlet red and his grin stretched from ear to ear. "AW, YEAH!"
He jumped, pumping his fists in the air and then proceeded to shoot you with his finger guns while winking again. "Listen, I dropped my digits on that piece'a paper ya got there, Shawty...hit me up sometime if ya wanna chill! I'm down for whatever!"
You were caught off guard by that and checked the page he signed for you, finally reading what he wrote down as he rambled on as background noise about how he wasn't a creep like those other guys and you could say no without worrying about him making a scene, he just had to shoot his shot, I mean you DID kiss ME first ya know...
"For my #1 fan, _______...Thanks for the coffee and stay outta trouble! ...and maybe call or shoot a txt, if your feelin' this funky vibe, too? Live loud, Pussy Cat ;) don't ever let anyone try an put the mute on ya! XOXOX PRESENT MIC!!!"
Followed by his phone number, and there were little hearts drawn around the page.
You were already blushing when he surprised you again by returning your gesture and swooping in to plant a kiss on your cheek this time.
Reaching up to touch the spot, you smiled up at him shyly. "I can't wait...please be safe out there..."
"You got it! SEE YA SOON!" The Pro nodded vigorously, giving an enthusiastic wave of goodbye before grabbing his and Eraserhead's drinks, practically bouncing with every step.
It made you giggle, but you were trying not to get your hopes up too much. For all you knew, he gave his number out to every girl that asked him for a signature.
"Are you happy now...?" Shouta grumbled, taking the cup being offered as he turned to resume patrolling. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HECK YEAH I AM! I'M ON CLOUD NINE RIGHT NOW, I JUST MET MY FUTURE WIFE!!!!!!!!"
You heard him very clearly, the blush traveling all the way down your neck this time, and you couldn't help another small giggle, your heart fluttering with happiness like the wings of the butterflies in your belly.
He just had that effect on you.
Glancing down at the notebook in your hand as you sipped your quickly melting frosty, you noticed in the bottom right corner was a little arrow, below which was written the word "flip".
You looked up again but the two Pro Heroes were already gone.
Curiously, you flipped over the page.
MARRY ME?!?!!
a. YES!!!!!
b. a
c. b
That smooth sonuvabitch had you blushing and giggling all night.

Throughout writing the GSA SL AU, what has been your favorite part(s) of it to flesh out? Also, what drew you to Izanami as a character, what made you want to expand on them to write your AU? I think I've seen you talk about why in passing, though Bad Memory makes it to remember so sorry if you have explained that before.
I was going through my analysis tag and called myself so smart and maybe I am glad for my dramatic writing to make lore sound so pish poshy . also it's okay !!! if you don't remember . if the social anxiety I am a multilingual mess of a chatterbox who will say the same thing over and over again like a broken record but maybe multiple copies of the same record just warped differently . does that make sense. my english teachers have told me I need to work on my summary writing and I don't think I improved <3 anywho cracks knuckles. also happy 1.3k words
gsaslau........ my favorite was.... everything. the world building, the lore, the characters, mental flowcharts and concept maps. canon divergency has always been my favorite, paired with the fact I love analysing shit in the first place. I took one look at this idiot and saw all the pitiful overlooked potential hiding in their dumb oil scented uniform and tried to rip it out and put it in centrifuges and stretching it out as far as possible. people think I'm out of dough but I'm a little menace with a squirrel living inside my brain who just adds more dough. I will get a Thought and sit in a discord chat and monopolize it while literally everyone else is asleep because of the concept of timezones and I type for three hours and pass out; for an afternoon nap or the fact it became 3am.
iznmi is just sooooooo. barren. an absolute blank slate but also they're not. they're unpolished and deliberately dirtied. maybe theyre so empty and I have to take them to literal puddles and make sure every drop of whatever makes them at least half full in a sense. they're the puddle and I dug out a lake with a toy shovel. under all those layers I know there's nothing. but there's also something. there's a corpse. an actual person. an answer. a question. a migraine that would torment me for a week maybe.
a tiny tiny bit of context, before entering uh. here. the p4 community or if im ever actually considered to be part of it, I came from a humble little community where everyone was friends (ninokuni). I did my fair share of analysis and canon divergency and expressed my fear for bigger communities for mainstream media. so when i got here I decided to stay in this hole. this ditch. quarry mine. reminiscent of patrick star's house. I thought it'd be the same but NO. I fight tooth and nail in my own house and welcome people selectively like I'm a rabid animal sniffing people left and right. anyway
ummmm twirls hair swings legs. gsaslau origin story patreon special. i was obsessed with the dumb voiced npc at the start of the game the jp dub made him sound so fruity and my dad and sister and I joked around how he was a vampire for shits and kept making absurd headcanons throughout playing. the fact they showed up only on rainy days only made them more sketchy. in fact I could've casually liked this moron without the whole 'I'm god actually' bullshit going on.
I watched visualive! it was the end for me. no literally my brain was hardwired so badly I knew from that point on i would never be a normal p4 fan ever. adachis chair car adventure. THE END OF IT ALL.
D'OH I was obsessed. why was adachis clown ass acting like this. he's never like this. why has this been the only guy shown to piss him off ever. DONT get me started with th attendant I was sitting there 'NO WAYYY NO FUCKING WAYYYYYYY SO THIS GUY IS SIGNIFICANT IN ONE (1) OFFICIAL MEDIA.?' i was spiraling
I finished the game and that did Not help my conscience. I entered the fandom at that point and had my darkest days. but I learned a lot from it and I'm grateful for that
I was nitpicking EVERYTHING. I was asking so much questions and I had so much fun answering them. then coming back a year later with so much more answers, or maybe debunk my own views with something more enlightening I had to write my revelations while brushing my teeth after a shower. interpreting was great connecting dots were thrilling. the "what if" questions went too far and started. this (gsaslau) WHICH technically started when I watched vl and it hit me full force once I actually started thinking about it.
to me there was just. so much to do with the god and their humansona you don't understand. the fact they're intertwined with lore so much you had to check every nook and cranny and go mad while at it? then again that was a win win for me since I was basically picking at media analysis too.
I was there.... brute forcing translation as a non native. cracking into the game trying to find SOMETHING. I was buying books i couldn't read for One (1) page of trivia in a small little box with less than a paragraph. I went through spinoffs games and novels and drama cds and stageplays and art books and magazines and interviews and livestreams and blog posts and tweets. I was learning so much as time went by and i had so many new pieces I could tinker with and create completely new machinations I would adore.
I drew art comics wrote fic and analysis and wiki articles I edited pictures videos gifs modded games cracked into them for assets 3d models dialogue secret textures events I manufactured my own merch for pete's sake I gaslit so many people with fake screenshots and convincing formats and i wish i could do that again
okay kinda segued there I'll try and go back. my favorite to flesh out was... world building? dealing with the butterfly affect and figuring out the consequences in this and seeing how the story change would make me so excited. maybe souji wouldn't want to kill namatame on the spot and his vision would stay foggy because he can't accept the truth that some of the people he's friends with are those who started this citywide crisis. maybe adachi does care about people and realizes his feelings and decides to abandon his fake life he started for the sake of his loved ones so they wouldn't get hurt again. maybe namatame was a bit happier after the trauma of someone leaving him and more mentally stable and took care of nanako well that he's earned her trust and does his best not to break that loyalty ever. making parallels like marie and mim being one and the same and so different at the same time. MAYBE god develops humanity within themself after being so convinced they couldn't and has conflicting morals between their duty and their wants as their own person. exploring the possible relationships are also high up there like souji and namatame being friends or nanako scaring a gas station attendant twice her size. adachi and mim's friendship is a given.
iznmi canon or not, they just have....so so much potential and the fact they're lore itself doesn't help. and I think it's fucking hilarious you can finish the game knowing NOTHING about them. at all. what if there was more to this silly npc who only appears during a rainy weather flag..... vl sparked too many ideas. what if god had a bit more screentime in that personality that we could see their thought process some more while they observe the protagonist's journey throughout the entire game. the realization they hey, maybe humans' Shadows won't kill them one day. maybe they'll have the strength to stop denying themselves and accept them to achieve a greater power.
okay maybe this is enough rambling or i show you my two years worth of discord messages and scattered google docs . thank you for asking. hugs and kisses . and remember: gas staion atednat
#assk#cyphere#sulululat#p4#gsa sl au#⛽️🌫#ゲッー#// this au was just supposed to be 'god makes friends and some things change a bit here and there or whatever'#// and then it became 'what if god actually Lived in the end but still dealt with the consequences of their actions they couldnt avoid in#// the beginning due to the circumstances of their birth and' yeah you get the point#// i could fix them. just made them worse though#// i came into this corner of the community and openly announced i will be projecting on the throwaway supporting cha#// character for the next 3000 years#// i am the only one correct about them which makes me allowed to present them so wrongly when i want to because everyone Should Know#// im goinf to. stop here. my god i cant stop talking good night good day good afternoon#persona 4 spoilers#persona 4

Also think Fred asked fp on a date once to walk around riverdale and look at Christmas lights and fp gay panicked a little cuz fred was real adamant about it being a date -(maybe the first time they called it one instead of just "hanging out" or "working on the van") and also that sounded pretty fruity to HIM especially when fred tried to hold his hand the whole time..... It was dark but they were still in public..... But also he was blushing SOOOOOOO fucking bad the entire time and he secretly wanted to hold freds hand but his hands were too sweaty even tho it was cold out.... And anyway maybe they walked around for hours and just talked and it was rly cute seeing fred genuinely be so happy about looking at Christmas lights and the occasional menorah and fp was relaxing a little but he noticed every time they got to a house fred would be looking at the decorations but fp always caught himself looking in the windows at the warm light and the Christmas tree and the families eating dinner and watching movies and just loving each other and having a home in a way he never ever had and he watched that shit with so much longing that he started to feel sick to his stomach especially when he started imagining having that with fred and no one else.... And I am not saying they stood in front of one rly beautiful house and reached for each others hands and held hands for a long long time and fred silently looked down at their clasped hands and smiled to himself but they absolutely did so
I AM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH STOP IT!!!!!
what in the hallmark christmas movie is this 🤧
very emotional over fp peeping tomming into peoples windows longing for christmases he never had growing up.

RANT OF THE DAY: The Everlasting Enigma of Evening Hearth
Remember awhile back, there was the blue dress/gold dress fiasco? Well Evening Hearth is the candle equivalent - everbody is smelling totally different things with little to NO agreement.
I've heard everything from Cinnamon to Chestnut & Clove to Pumpkin Fireside to Ski Lodge to a spicy version of Evergreen
And while those all sound random AF, I can kinda see where folks are coming from (Evening Hearth ISN'T any of those BTW)
So what can it be?!
Well there are 3 past candles that it's the closest to...
So Autumn Night was a one hit wonder from 2014. Essentially it was Acorn & Fig/Autumn Day with the birch removed and added cinnamon bark and heavy cardamom with a touch of smokiness.
I can tell you with no amount of uncertainty that EH is NOT Autumn Night. And I'm not going by scent memory; I actually have an AN wf bulb plugged in my bathroom so I get reacquainted with the scent everyime I showever or answer the call of nature. Now they are both wood based scent with a touch of fruitiness and they do share an intense pop of cardamom but that's where it ends. They are both very similar but definitely not one in the same. Think of EH as AN's litle brother.
Pumpkin Hayride, like AN, was another one hit wonder as well as a very late addition to the all pumpkin collection back in 2013. PH was..uumm..well...intersting and unique. While I am all for pumpkin scents that aren't bakery and cinnamon'ed to death, this was a little too out there for me to enjoy. It was a very outdoorsy smell, think barn/farm yard - like you could smell wood and hay/straw and cornhusks. Absolutely NO pumpkin ..surprise surprise...though there was something about that kinda smelled like instant oatmeal, like the maple one mixed with the pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon
So EH is very similar PH...so much so that I really did think it was a straightup repackage. I was talking with my candlebuddy Josh/Touchthefiretwice and asked him what he thought since he actually owned PH; after comparing, he was convinced that they were similar but not the same. After smelling it again, I knew that Josh was right. They both do have that craft store, Michael's in the fall, country market vibe and they both share that cardamom note..though it's more intense in PH (Josh always says that PH, especially after burning, smels like Indian food becuase of the heavy cardamom). But EH isn't nearly as outdoorsy as PH and is missing that hay/straw/cornhusk vibe. Again, they two are similar but not the same.
This candle was one of 2 non bakery pumpkin scents (Pumpkin Fireside aka Campfire Pumpkin) in 2016's all pumpkin collection. And like Pumpkin Fireside, it was (I believe) a WB exclusive. As a non-bakery pumpkin scent, it intrigued me and I remember having in my basket in line to buy only to end up putting it right back on the shelf.
So scent-wise, it was very similar to Welcome~Spiced Autumn Wreath from the previous year - not as heavy on the pine/balsam, a little cinnamon bark-y and a lot of added cedar
Now out of these 3 scents, PW was the scent that came up the most in online conversation; sooooooo many people said that EH was a straightup withoutadoubt repackage of PW. I personally didn't think so - the spice blend was similar although PW didn't have cardamom. Also EH wasn't quite as heavy on the cedar and there's definitely a fruitiness that PW lacked. Quite a few people agreed, especially a few who actually owned PW and compared.
But here's where things get weird.
So there were a substantial number of folks online who were adamant that it was indeed a repackage of EH. And there was an equal amount of people had PW in their possession who they were same as those who said they weren't. I posted about this candle on IG and in the midst of the conversation, a SA posted that the boxes that EH came in actual said..wait for it.. PUMPKIN WOODS!
Is it possible that there are 2 batches of EH? It's certainly possible as it is a phenomenon that BBW has done quite frequently - they'll release a "test version" (the scent that came out when the collection was testing" as well as changed, more palatable customer friendly version; sometimes one instead of the other, sometimes one after the other, sometimes all at the same time. Hell years ago, I smelled 3 distinctly different versions of Red Radiant Maple not just at the same store but on the same display. So it is possible that there is a testing batch of EH and a wide release batch of EH..though I dunno which is which.
So what about the version that doesn't smell like PW?
Here's what I personally get...
So I get a woody base of mainly cedar, maybe some oak, maybe some sandalwood. And there's soft almost creaminess that could be sandalwood but it could be from the cashmere. Now "cashmere" in home fragrance is not supposed to smell like cashemre but give the blend of soft warmness like you're wearing cashmere. "Cashmere" is actually a sythentic blend more commonly known as "blonde woods". I get some spices, mainly cinnamon bark and cardamom. And I don't get the "warm cider" aspect; like mulled hot cider or apple cinnamon flavored tea. I honestly do get the image the scent is conjuring - sitting in front of the fireplace sipping a spiked cider or a hot toddy on a cool mid to late fall evening.
So if I had to describe it plainly, it would say think Welcome ~ SAW mixed with Autumn Night mixed with Pumpkin Hayride.
Now that doesn't mean that EH is a repackage of any of those, it just has similar aspects. I think because BBW has released soooooo many blatant repackages, we are conditioned to think that everything new is a repackage. Futhermore, scents that smell similar to other scents doesn't necesarily make it a repackage. Like The Perfect Autumn; I see people on social media say that it's a repackage of Frosted Cranberry..it ain't, it's just similar. And it has aspects to other candles and their notes; I get Leaves/Spiced Apple Toddy and Tis the Season vibes in TPA...but it isn't a repackage of any of them. Same goes with the non-PW version of EH.
Oh Evening Hearth, you are truly a riddle wrapped in a mystery in an enigma
