Lux Voice Update concept:
First Move:
“The future can be bright, so long as we let hope live.”
“Come on, we’ve got a job to do.”
“In the name of magic, I shall punish the wicked!”
Long move:
“The people of Terbisia need me. Until I’m certain we can live without fear, I can’t return to Demacia with clear conscience.”
“The world might have darkness, but there’s still a lot of light if we go looking.”
First encounter:
“Have we met?”
“It’s not too late to leave.”
“I’d rather not blast you, so you can go.”
Joke response:
*Snort of laughter* “Okay, okay, that got me.”
Taunt response:
“I’ve been more afraid of my aunt than you.”
Killing:
(General):
“Go to the light. It can’t harm you…”
“I’m sorry, but it was the only way.”
“It had to be done…”
Recall:
“Be right back!”
“Starting to dim, got to brighten myself up!
Death:
“No…”
“Wait…”
“Sorry…”
Respawn:
(Stressed.) “If that happens to me one more time, I’m going to start blasting! Kidding, kidding…” *sigh*
“Woah! I’m… okay?”
“That was… dark.” *Nervous giggling.*
Character specific dialogue:
First encounter:
Annie: “A magic teddy bear? Now I’m getting jealous!”
Ezreal: *To herself* “Just ignore him, maybe he’ll leave.”
Fiora: *Imitating her accent* “En Guard, Miss Laurent!”
“Do you do anything besides fight?”
Galio: “Hey, sleepyhead! I’ve missed you.”
“I’ve grown up a lot since we last spoke. Three inches, to be precise.”
Garen: “…This is awkward.”
Jarvan: “You better keep an eye on those mageseekers.”
Jinx: “Have we met before? There’s something familiar.’
Katarina: “You might’ve helped me, but I’ve got my eye on you.”
Quinn: “Hi Quinn, hi Valor!”
Ryze: “If I win, could you teach me some rune spells? Please?”
Shyvana: “Has Jarvan ever ridden you into battle? What? I’m curious.”
Smoulder: “Aw, a little baby dragon!”
“I know someone who would love you!”
Sylas: “What do you want now?”
“Don’t you have enough magic?”
Mages:
“If you get tired of fighting, I know somewhere you can stay.”
Taunt:
Crystal Rose: “Oh, I remember going to royal balls. So many would-be suitors.” *shivering sound.*
Ezreal: “I’m flattered but you’re really, REALLY not my type.”
Garen: “I’m not just your kid sister anymore.”
Jinx: “I think I had a dream about you? Uh, that’s not weird to say, is it?”
Sentinel skins: “Sentinels of Light? Mind if I tryout?”
Katarina: “Have you and Garen made it past first base? Come oooon, tell me!”
Zoe: “You can have that Ezreal guy. Please, I’m begging you.”
Taunt Response:
Garen: (playfully) “Don’t be mean, Garen!”
Katarina: “Wait till I tell Garen about that!”
Nocturne: “Big talk for a shadow.”
Kill:
Ezreal: “Take a hint! Honestly…”
Garen: No, no, no, I’m sorry, I’m… *sigh*
Jinx: “…Why did you look so happy when I blasted you?”
Ryze: “Looks like I win.”
Sentinels: “Did I pass? …Oh. Hm. Too bright?”
Sylas: “The future will be bright. I just wish you could see it.”
——
Joke: “What’s a double rainbow? Ah, well… give me a minute, um…”
(Second time.)
“Well, a "double rainbow" is a phenomenon of optics that displays a spectrum of light due to the sun shining on droplets of moisture in the atmosphere. Does that explain it?”
(Third time in quick succession.)
“I’m not saying it again. Sorry.”

I messed up and walked through the room one too many times when my family was watching a random crime drama show and now I’ve got “Consumed Media and Now I’m Gonna Go Missing For 3 To 4 Business Days” disease, my beloved...my beloathed…my becomplicated. WHY IS IT SO EASY TO GET THAT
Tumblr media
Vicious cycle……congrats on the Resident Evil and the Star Wars and Futurama and Despicable Me and so on tho :3c I continue to look forward to your thoughts and opinions, it all seems like so much fun 👀 and if I disappear I’ll be back, keep going strong with your immaculate taste 💪 and if you get “Consumed Media and Now I’m Gonna Go Missing For 3 To 4 Business Days” disease too or get it several times over uhhhhh….good luck we’re in this together 💖 separate but together <33333
Thank you for letting me on your TEDTalk once again <3 or not letting me on, I guess I Don’t Actually know that yet. I could be smote Right Now
oh for goodness' sake, not again!! let me get the first aid kit...*returns with a comically large syringe* now now Lorelei, you know you can't pass through the gates of this blog without giving up a little fandom/blorbo news in exchange!! you think you can get all of, um...this...for free? 😂 go oooon, let us in on what this fascinating new media that's rewriting your brain is!!! can we have a hint? 🥺 dfgfdsd you pose an excellent question - i don't know!!! do you find that sometimes you'll be suckered into a fandom/character for years unflinchingly, and then other times you're pulled all over the place? i certainly have longer/deeper fixations, and am sometimes in a much more...flighty mode, jumping between media and characters!! but i think that's a good thing - means we're not denying ourselves potential paths of happiness 🥰 hahaha awww thank you darling!!! so funny seeing them all laid out like that, and i'm sure there'll be more to come 🙈💖 waiting for everything to cycle back round so i can finish up some wips!! but in the meantime, i eagerly await hearing about your latest fixation 😉

I do agree RM doesn't always know how to play Barca, but they used to know, like AGES ago a the beginning of football so what happened 😭 Bayern needs to teach them, remember when they defeated Barca 8:2 in 2020 💀 I also remember them winning 7:0 or something. Yep Ancelotti is not it... 🔫
⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ what was that Al Nassr vs PSG game lmao, just pure clownery
Since I'm older you should also respect me, meanwhile I'm faced with so much disrespect!
Ok thanxx, I have one video on Harry saved from a person I'm subbed to, but I'm gonna ad these two as well
Baek coming in 2 weeks, I swear it was 2 months not so long ago. I liked a few recent Exo's b-side, but I haven't listened to them in ages tbh. Shinee tour... you mean, 5 concerts in Seoul and 5 concerts in Japan? 😭
I was never a huge fan of SuperM, but at least their songs have some substance, GOT is just so mid or bad lmao, it's sad to see. Even the choreography and performance wasn't great, ehhh.
Speaking of SuperM, Yangyang posted an edit photo of WayV, only 6 members and Lookass stans got so maaaaaaad. YY always at the scene of the crime, good for him 😅 OP deleted her stupid ass tweet, but this
I just had this webtoon saved for months and didn't expect it to be so fun, also didn't expect Eunhyuk to be so sweet and </3 so it's not confirmed, but I know it's true, he has terrible parents and his mother hurt him, so now he's deaf in one ear, no one knows about it, we just get the hints. I didn't see them at first, but now it all makes sense 💔 Like they were listening to songs together and he couldn't hear, but pretended to 😢
The HP movies got better in terms of quality and story-telling over the years, but I have a very soft spot for the first two movies, I used to watch them on... VHS
Idk if you watched Red Eye with Cillian and Rachel McAdams, but man looked so pretty and fucking terrifying at the same time
Red cards for fansites god I wish!
I know people who own snakes! My mother used to hate them and she's still not a big fan, but once she touched a snake she was pleasantly surprised hausuahahahaha
When people tell Shakira "you're pushing 50s, grow up" yeah she's petty, but I support her shenanigans, because Pique deserves it 😊
BTW WHAT IS THIS
Seonghwa didn't wear that YSL brooch to be omitted like that...
Hoshi x Usher? Another random western artist x kpop artist interaction lol
Baeeek why would you I'm a cannibal actually
Did NOT expect a place called Brampton to look like this?! Pretty sure there's a park in Newcastle called Brampton
Breathtaking shit
This photo is sending me into the oblivion. Yeah it does for sure
Omg hoooold oooon. And when we make a webtoon character based on Park Seonghwa so we don't have to headcanon him as every single guy skdjeiehhedhdh
Soohyuk x Hoshi dating rumours?! - DV 💖
helllo!!!
I do agree RM doesn't always know how to play Barca, but they used to know, like AGES ago a the beginning of football so what happened 😭 Bayern needs to teach them, remember when they defeated Barca 8:2 in 2020 💀 I also remember them winning 7:0 or something. Yep Ancelotti is not it... 🔫 //// ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ what was that Al Nassr vs PSG game lmao, just pure clownery
EVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF FOOTBALL BESTIE those 1920's copa del ray's got barca at 15-1 and 10-0's 😭😭😭😭 nAHHH BAYERN IS SOME MONSTER IDK WHAT THE FUCK THEY GOT AGAINST EVERYONE, BUT I BE MISSING THEM MATCHES BC THOSE ARE HUMILIATING 😭😭😭 maybe now that we have lewa, their top scorer and xavi's way of playing maybe we can do it 😭😭 but dortmund is the only one who can teach bayern a good lesson <3 yeAHHH ancelotti changed the playing and it clearly is not working w them, and now it's psg v bayern, i have bare to no hope in psg bfdfhgf they're moody asf <3
NOOOO THE PSG AL NASSR WAS SO STUPIDLY HILARIOUS FOR RONALDO 😭😭😭it wasn’t a friendly, it was PERSONAL 😭😭 bro scoring the penalty like it was the world cup in a FRIENDLY but what a day, top 3 football players of all time on the same match and on the same field for probably the last time <3 end of an era truly, from 2008 to 2023 but they had fun, giggling on the field when ronaldo scored fdhsjfjbm did u hear about the chelsea signing the ukranian neymar going to chelsea AND HE FUCKING PLAYS LIKE HAZARD ANON!!!! and juventus downfall ✨
Since I'm older you should also respect me, meanwhile I'm faced with so much disrespect! /// Ok thanxx, I have one video on Harry saved from a person I'm subbed to, but I'm gonna ad these two as well
sorry im a little blind
Tumblr media
either way it’s pretty fucked up book with him telling secrets that are not his to tell 😭😭 tbh made me feel bad about charles, he’s emotionally closed a little and harry diminished every time he tried hard to show his fatherhood!
Baek coming in 2 weeks, I swear it was 2 months not so long ago. I liked a few recent Exo's b-side, but I haven't listened to them in ages tbh.

Bites
Summary : Your father, Dean winchester, finds out you hurt yourself. 
Warnings : Selfharm. Please don’t read this if it might hurt you. 
----
You've been sitting at in the library table for the past 4 hours. Dean had asked for a favor to which you couldn't say no. The man got you out of so much trouble that when he asked you to thoroughly go through 5 boxes of very old archives, you felt too obligated to say no.
But your mind was forcebly starting to drifted away. It felt like you were out of energy and out of concentration.
You dialed one of the only two repeating number on your phone. No wonder you were feeling like you had no life.
" hey Deaaaaan" you sang the hunter's name in an overly enthusiastic tone.
"What " he only groaned, knowing that a demand was coming his way.
"Can you get me a coffee on your way here ? "
Dean stood silent. He hated those "Douchebag coffee shops", as he called them, as much as you loved them. People there either freaked him out, or made him horny.
"Oh, come on, duude." You didn't need to be present to know that he just threw him arm up. "You know how much i hate -douchebag coffee shops.
You both said in sync.
"DEan, come oooon... and my eyes are killing me"
The man sighed, groaning a "I'm not Dean, i'm dad." Before hanging up; Meaning he was going to bring you your coffee.
You lowered your gaze to your arm as your lie reminded you of it. Your eyes weren't the ones killing you.
The monster that possesed you last night wasn't something you werent very used to. You bit your lower arm. Hard. Various times. You bit yourself so hard it bled. But that didn't stop you. You kept biting and jerking your body as if someone else was hurting you, leaving you with one too many oval shaped fresh bruises and red trails of teeth surrounding them. -explains why you couldn't sleep last night.
Now that you thought about it, you sort of regretted doing it. You always regret it but weirdly, you were proud of yourself, of how hard you were on y-
"COFFEE"
You jumped out of your seat as the bunker door was closed.
"Wha.."
You looked up, ready to hide your arm behind your back but the look on your father’s face indicated that it was too late.
Fuck..How could he even see from that far away ?
" What is that "
You awkwardly stood there as your dad marched your way. You were kind of frozen in the spot. You really didn't know what to say, you hadn't planned a lie yet. No one was supposed to see it this soon.
Dean set the cup on the table and grabbed your arm, raising it up to examine it.
"What. is that,Y/n ?" He asked again, a hint of anger in his voice, now.
"I...um...i g..i had."
You stumbled over random words.
"Did someone bite you ? When did this happen, why didn't i know ? that looks fresh, Y/n wh..."
Dean's voice drowned into silence. All you could do was look into his eyes. He looked worried. He looked like he was ready to fight whoever hurt his little baby. But you did that. It was you.
"Uh.." words wouldn't come out of your mouth. Stupid.. you cursed yourself. Just say it ! Yes !
"Yeah"
"Yeah what ? How could someone bite you this hard, y/n ? Did you get into a fight last night ?"
Oh my god ! Dad, i answered so you'd stop . Stop.
"No, i... i didnt...it wasn't really a fight-i-i" You stuttered before pulling your arm away. " it's notthing big, dad, don't worry, Cas will heal it for me " you pulled down the sleeve. "Thanks for the coffee." You said and as you were turning around, Dean took hold of your shoulder, pulling you back to face him.
"Hey ! You're not going anywhere, Y/N. Why didn't you tell me that you got into a fight ? Does Sam know ?" Dean decided that letting go wasn't part of his plans today. He followed your eyes as the latters traveled around the large room aimlessly.
"Wai-.." Your dad whispered to himself when the realization hit him. "You..." He violently cupped your face and forced your eyes to meet his, causing a whimper to come out of your mouth.
You were fucked.
"You did it to yourself." He exhaled in the lowest tone as shock and anger flooded his face. His eyebrows were drawn closer to each other and his nose was craked up in anger
Your heart ached at the fact that you caused that. You really couldn't bare watch him hate you more so you leaned backwards, forcing your face out of his hands. but that only led him to tighten his grip.
"Look at me." Dean commanded, placing his free hand on the back of your head to guide you closer. "You did, didnt you ?"
You were relieved when the tears clouded your vision, blurring his face.
"You...you did. I can't believe it ! You..." Dean's voice rose, which confused you.
"Why are you getting angry at me right now, Dean ?" You managed to yell before bursting into sobs.
"Why ? Because i just found out that the one person i trust the most, my daughter, doesn't trust me enough to tell me things." He yelled back. And you just snorted.
"What is there to say, huh? It's fucking horrible, what is there to say, how would i tell you that i spent the whole night fucking biting my arm like an animal ? how do you say that to people ?"
"First of all, i'm not people. And second." He let go of you. " you could start with "im suffering"
You backed away, defensively crossing your arms over your chest.
"well, you drink yourself to sleep every night, how's that any different from this ?"
"How can you even ask me that ? It’s different because i’m the parent. I'm your dad! "
You stood there quietly, unsure of what to say next or how to defend yourself. What even was there to defend ? You hurt the man who matters the most to you.
"I really thought we trusted each other." He turned around and walked away. "And i better not find anything like that on you again, Y/n. I better not."
-----
Helloo peeps. I'm sort of back ?? Tell me what yall think about this one and if you think it needs a suuper fluffy part two. xo ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

Fictober Day Sixteen
Prompt: #15 “What are you doing?” Fandom: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Characters: Bo-Katan Kryze, Satine Kryze Rating: PG
“What are you doing?” Bo-Katan demanded, throwing herself onto Satine's bed and making it bounce. Satine clutched her tablet to her chest and glared.
"Writing," she said, nobly resisting the urge to shove Bo onto the floor.
"Writing what?"
"An essay."
"Why?"
"For school."
"What's it about?"
"The war between Mandalore and Felucia."
Bo-Katan laughed. "That's easy. They tried to steal our trade route and we stomped them."
Satine pursed her lips. "It was more complicated than that," she said, climbing out of bed and going to her desk. She sat down in the chair with her back perfectly straight and toward Bo. Her sister, long practiced at ignoring hints, followed her and sat on the edge of the desk.
"It sounds boring. Come play with me."
"It's not boring," Satine argued, even though five minutes before she'd been practically falling asleep. "And it's important. You should make more effort to learn this sort of thing, Bo."
Bo wrinkled her nose. "Would that mean I have to go to Coruscant?"
"What's wrong with Coruscant?"
"Don't pretend you like it now," Bo said derisively. "I remember the tantrum you threw when Dad said he was sending you there."
"It was not a 'tantrum'!" Satine insisted. She could feel her lips want to form a sulky pout, but she knew better than that now, so she took a deep breath and made her face the best copy of the polite mask that all her Coruscanti teachers wore. "I just had some... arguments."
Bo-Katan smirked at her. "Yeah, lots of arguments with Dad. I said I remember."
Coruscant was loud and strange and Satine had hated it utterly at first. But she was getting used to it and the more time she spent there, the more she learned. "Coruscant is ...fascinating."
Bo-Katan shook her head dismissively and swung her legs over the desk so she was even less ignorable. "I think it must be terrible, 'cause it's made you so boring. Come oooon, Satine. Come do something fun. You're not even going to be home for long - you can't spend all of it in your room, wasting your time on essays."
"It's not wasting my time," Satine said, but she hesitated. For all Bo's smirking and mocking, she'd never been any good at hiding her emotions and clearly hadn't learned while Satine had been away. And Satine had missed her too. "You could stay up here with me?" she suggested. "I'd be happy to teach you."
Bo scoffed. "Why would I need to know this stuff?"
"Because it's important."
"But you know it. Come on, Satine. I bet I can beat you on the range this time."
Satine laughed. "Bet you can't."
Bo-Katan stood up and held the door open, tilting her chin at Satine and grinning at her in challenge. "Prove it."
"Oh, I will," Satine said, grinning back. She followed Bo-Katan out the door with only one look back at her abandoned essay.

𝘯𝘤𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘴/𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦
Tumblr media
requested by the national cutie pie @heartyyjeno​
Mark Lee
he can be a bit oblivious sometimes bless his soul꒰๑˃͈꒵˂͈๑꒱୭
so he’s kinda clueless as why tf you’re so pouty 
has he said anything stupid earlier? forgotten any important date?? or... even worse
ARE YOU ON YOUR PERIOD?? (シ;゚Д゚)シ  ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵒⁿᵉ ʰᵃˢ ᵗʰᵉᶦʳ ᵗʰᵉᶦʳ ᵒʷⁿ ᵖᵉʳᶦᵒᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ᶜᵃⁿ’ᵗ ᶜʰᵃⁿᵍᵉ ᵐʸ ᵐᶦⁿᵈ ˢᵒʳʳʸ
he’s too nervous to even prod at you rn
especially after a trainee who just happens to be wearing his hoodie passes by and you-
did you just growl?!?? ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
but you’re his baby and you’re just SO deflated and he HATES seeing you anything but happy and lively so he just can’t stand by and watch you so upset cuz his lil heart hurts too (๑◕︵◕๑)
“babe, are you uh alright?”
“yeah, just a little bit cold” *trying to subtly hint him*
“oh! that’s not good, you should have dressed warmer, should i go ask manager-hyung to turn up the heating in the practice room??”
 ‘maybe i should just set your ass on fire to warm up’ (►˛◄’!)
“or do you maybe want my hoodie?? it should be enough so you won’t be cold anymore, where did i... ohhhhh”
*light bulb turning on above his head* (〇o〇;)
“it’s fine mark, it’s not like you love me anyway it’s fine i should have seen this coming” *loud fake sobbing in your hands* *mark panic*
“no no baby come on-”
“let’s just get the divorce papers, mark lee!!!!”
“but we’re not married-” *sobbing intensifies* “i’m sorry, I’M SORRY!!! i didn’t mean to!! here, just a second!!” (´⊙ω⊙`)!
this specimen just took off his shirt and draped it over you in the middle of the practice room
“mark, wtf are you doing?!?? i was only kidding!!”
“how was i supposed to know, what if you were seriously upset-”
“hyung, can you help-”  *chenle slams door closed* *dolphin screams* “you’re paying for my eyeball removal surgery, you nasties!!”
“chenle NO”
Huang Renjun
my man here catches on pretty quickly what your pout is about
you didn’t make it exactly hard to notice either (;¬д¬)
“y/n, want some ice cream?”
“no, i’m cold, you can shove it up yo ass and share with dear [redacted]”
jesus i wonder why your s/o is mad renjun
he’s not sure how to approach the situation at first, worried that he might get a tube of ice shoved somewhere he wouldn’t want it to ゞ◎Д◎ヾ
he decides to just be himself read as blunt
“baby come oooon, i can ask them to give it back”
“no, then i’ll seem like a possessive bitch” (Θ︹Θ)ს
“don’t call yourself that!! but then should i just run back to the dorms and get another hoodie?”
“no, i missed you this week, i don’t want you to leave”
“then you can just come with me?” (≖^≖๑ )フ
“but i’m too lazy to get up” same reader same
renjun : ఠ ͟ಠ then wth DO YOU WANT ?!!!?!!
your soul renjun
he’s a bit lost and you’re kinda under the weather too and he HATES it because you’re his kitten and he CAN’T and WON’T allow you to feel anyhting but like absolute royalty with him ೕ(⁍̴̀◊⁍̴́ฅ)
so he just drapes himself over your back, wrapping his arms tightly around you, caging you in a warm embrace and nuzzling his cheek into yours
“who needs a hoodie when they’ve got a junnie??!?!” (˃̵ᴗ˂̵ ๑)
how could anyone stay mad when a cutie like renjun just curls himself around you and pulls you flush against himself, wrapping his limbs around you and peppering kisses everywhere in reach
you’re basically purring in content at this how could you not 」( ̄▽ ̄」)
depending on how tired the both of you are, you might qualify for a good ol’ nap cuddled up against renjun 
but don’t let this fool you
you AIN’T gona catch him making the same mistake again
he’s asking you first about absolutely anything
“no renjun, i don’t need the last of your toilet paper, why do you even- you know what, don’t answer that, just go take a shit in peace” Σ(-��_-᷄๑)
Lee Jeno
we all know jeno is too much of a sweetheart to say ‘no’ (๑′ᴗ‵๑)
he might be freezing himself and he’d still give his hoodie away to the first person who asks learn how to say NO kids
so now you’re both freezing and on top of everything you’re upset too
that’s a DOUBLE KILL for sweet babie jeno (๑◕︵◕๑)
“babe i’m sorry how was i supposed to know you don’t like them??”
“it’s not even that, jeno, you’re literally shivering!! why would you give it if you’re cold too?”
and that’s when jeno’s bf sathelit sprung into action
“wait... ‘too’?? are you cold, my baby??!??!?” (ʘᗩʘ’)
“no, wait, i mean yes, but that’s not-”
“i’ll be back in a second” he isn’t even kidding
he comes back with a blanket AND heating pads (that he doesn’t miss a second to clutch to your cheeks and then coo at your fish face)
“where did you get these from?” *suspicious*
he tells you he borrowed stole them from hyuck by politely asking for them threatening with a flex of his arm while eye smiling the entire time hyuck stood no chance ( ⚆ ᴗ ⚆ ) *nervous chuckle*
but jeno allows you no debating time before he wraps you in the blanket like a lil cutie patootie WARM burrito and leaves a *smooch* to your forehead ( ˘ ³˘)♥
you can spend an eternity arguing with him that you should take turns since he’s cold too, he isn’t taking ANY OF IT
his bubs isn’t allowed to be cold and he wants you to forget about who he lent his hoodie to too
the only way you can get him to relent is refusing to stay cocooned in it
“y/n, wear it or you’ll catch a cold!!” ( •̀ω•́ )σ
“sorry to burst your bubble, but you can and will catch a cold too!!”
that’s how you found yourself sandwiched between jeno’s arms, suffocating from both his bodt warmth and the blanket enveloping THE BOTH of you
best sauna would 110% recommend ୧( ⁼̴̶̤̀ω⁼̴̶̤́ )૭
Lee Donghyuck
my man here knows EXACTLY what he’s doing once *that person* asks him for his hoodie with a flirty smile
he lends it over with that shit eating grin but not without watching from the corner of his eye as you deflated like a loney baloney ( ◞᷄દ◟᷅ )
pretends to not notice your pout and lack of answers to his remarks
“y/n, wanna order chinese tonight?”
sweet, but not on my watch asshole *silence* (˵¯͒⌢͗¯͒˵)
“i’ll take that as a yes, i’ve been craving some seaweed soup”
*eye twitch*
‘fine u lil booger two can play at this game’ (•̀o•́)ง
you leave the room and return... wrapped up in MARK’S sweater and plop down back next to hyuck proudly (ฅ⁍̴̀◊⁍̴́)
he tenses up and turns to you
“y/n” ooooh damn you’re in deep shit
*you bat your eyelashes innocently* “yes my dear?”
“you stink, can you move further away?”
you... did not... JUST HEAR THAT??!?!!? (ノꐦ ⊙曲ఠ)ノ彡┻━┻
but you get up and walk with your tail between your legs to the other side of the room and curl up in a ball of failure
you both do your own things insilence until-
*sniffle* *hiccup* *SNIFFLE*
“y/n?” *silence*”baby??” *hiccup*
oh no oh no NO NO, hyuck’s baby ain’t crying on his watch (╯’□’)╯
he DASHES to your side and envelops you in his arms while cooing apologies and sweet nothings in your ear
“come on baby, you know i didn’t mean it, i just want your attention and your attention only and i only meant that mark’s hoodie stinks, never you, you’re my baby, you can’t-” ヾ( •́д•̀ ;)ノ
and then your shoulders start shaking and hyuck starts to actually worry until your sobs turn into... giggles?? hold up, WHAT??
he turns you around just to see you in a fit of giggles, the only tears present are the ones building up in your eyes from laughter
“oh you think you’re smart, don’t you??” (⁎⁍̴̀﹃ ⁍̴́⁎)♡
ATTACC OF TICKLES FOR YOU
Na Jaemin
another sweetheart tbh who wouldnt be able to refuse out of courtesy
but he just KNOWS he fcked up the moment you turn away when he leans in to kiss you (︶︹︺) ╯ ( ് દ ് )
but he ain’t giving up so easily
no matter how upset you are, depriving him of his dose of kisses? federal crime!!!! CRUELTY!!!!!!! ╰[ ಠ Ĺ̯ಠ]╯
so he keeps on pushing his affections on you
a clutching back hug, a rushed kiss wherever he is able to land it considering your struggle to avoid him, a nuzzle against your cheek, a pinch to your cheeks, a failed attempt to lockyour hands together
my man here tries not to show disappointment whenever you succesfully escape his ♡ 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 ♡   
jaemin, grumbling: “you and jisungie, a couple of hooligans, i’ll leave you on the welcome mat tonight for this” (҂⌣̀_⌣́) he won’t he loves you too much, he can’t fall asleep if he’s not 110% sure you’re well fed and happy
but he still babies you to no end
“come on my baby, what should i do so you forgive me hm?”( *¯ ³¯*)♡
you, an entire baby: *huff* “so now you care huh? go ask or no, go TAKE CARE of [redacted]” 
jaemin’s last braincell performing swan lake on thin ice male version 2020 be like ₍₍ ◝( ・’ω’・ )◟ ⁾⁾
so he sighs and leaves the room
so NOW you’re worrying that mayyyybe you pushed him a bit too far
but before you even get the chance to walk down the hallway in your mighty search for your boyfriend, everything suddenly goes black
no you didn’t pass out or did you
jaemin just creeped up on you and ENGULFED you in a blanket hug for which he DEFINITELY didn’t run a marathon to buy༼つ ் ▽ ் ༽つ
when you finally manage to worm your head out of the fluffy cocoon he engulfed you in, your words were still muffled
“nana?? how did you even-???”
he just hugs you tighter and cuts off your questions
“shhh, all that matters is that you are ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE and i am maybe perhaps forgiven??”  ◕ ‿ ◕ 
how could you ever refuse this precious soul
Zhong Chenle
so i can see one(1) scenario in which he would lend his hoodie to someone he SPECIFICALLY knows you don’t fancy
if you had a let’s say disagreement before and we all know he can be PETTY big time sooo basically he’d do it just to spite you ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
and the lil shiz looks SO PROUD of himself
but you’re not letting the brat win we ain’t no losers _へ__(‾◡◝ )>
so you just creep up behind him and stick your glacier hands up his shirt and rest them on his warm back
when i’m telling you he broke the record for the highest jump and most likely shattered any windows in the vicinity ༻(〃ຶ⌂〃ຶ)
“y/n!!!! keep your ice cubes to yourself!!”
“but i’m cold”
“your cold, your problem”
“watch me say the same thing when jaemin’s chasing you around with a wooden ruler” (;¬_¬)
things settle down after that
or so he thought!!!!! (งಠل͜ಠ)ง never let your guard down lele sigh
another sneak attack to make sure chenle gets a SOUR taste of absolutely pure pettiness so he gets sick of it himself lol
this time a bitch ain’t joking
you shove your entire head under his shirt and then slither yourself so the top of your head pops out of chenle’s shirt collar let’s hope chenle made the wise choice of wearing a loose shirt so you both won’t suffocate
so you just blink up at him like (◕ᴥ◕)
and chenle is shrieking the entire time sigh
and while you’re too cute for him, its not exactly comfortable for either of you so he pats your head and begs asks you to get out of his shirt(?)
“am i getting your hoodie then?”
“i can’t just barge in and ask for it back”
“alright them i’m suffocating you FUN” (╯✧∇✧)╯
“i’m buying you an entire store of hoodies, JUST GET.OUT!!!”(;≧皿≦)
you have to restrain him for actually going on a shopping spree cuz he LOVES spoiling you but he pays in cuddles while you’re snuggling in your favourite hoodie of his
Park Jisung
confused babie /(@゚ペ@) a mood 
he probably lent his hoodie cause he was too shy to refuse and didn’t even know you don’t like the person he gave it to
and then he’s clueless when you’re pouty 「(゚<゚)゙??
jisung: “do you want some water??”
you: *grumbling visibly upset* ( ー̀εー́ )
jisung, at a safe distance away from you, scratching his head, rethinking life choices: “...okay, maybe not. how about choco milk?”
he keeps an eye on you but other than that he’s LOST lol
that’s when the ✨𝓱𝔂𝓾𝓷𝓰𝓼✨ kick in
emergency contact momma jaemin is the first person jisung calls once he escaped to the ‘bathroom’
“jisung, you know i love you, BUT ARE YOU DUMB?? HOW COULD YOU- blahblahblah” my man is listening to an entire rant about how to treat your partner well 101 (۶* ‘ꆚ’)۶”
now that he knows the theory, he needs the practice
but you might already worry that he fell in the toilet with how long he’s been gone for god forbid you fall into that dark void
so he calls chenle
“chenle, i’m treating you to hotpot if you bring me a blanket or hoodie in less than 5 minutes”
“add in some steak and it’s a deal” ( ✧≖ ͜ʖ≖)
“i’m so selling your soul for a piece of gum, FINE!! just be quick!!”
THIS BOI RIGHT HERE!! A TREASURE!!!! he would step on his honour just to make sure his bubs is hapyy ˭̡̞(◞⁎˃ᆺ˂)◞*✰
so after he excuses himself again to retrieve the blanket from chenle
he BURRITO WRAPS you in it and then sits down next to your confused but undeniably happy form and pats your head nervously while he rambles you’re still his most sought after for of comfort no matter what
“i’m sorry for being a bad boyfriend, i should have realized you’d be cold too and that i should always put you first and i-”
you cut him off with a chaste kiss to his cheek which definetely doesn’t leave him speechless and tomato red in the cheeks (๑♡⌓♡๑)
“it’s okay, i was just being dramatic, you should always put yourself first tho, okay baby??”
baby is malfunctioning but he still nods mindlessly and kisses your cheek back ( ᵅั ᴈ ᵅั;)

if you're still doing short scenarios, could i get a small scene of frederick's s/o (pre-gearification) taking drastic measures to get him to go to bed?
Certainly! I'll admit when you say 'a scene' I'm not sure if you mean a ficlet or concepts, but I'll try to do a bit of both just in case!
"Frederick...Frederick?"
You wandered down the lab corridor, eyes peeled and ears open. Every sense on alert in search of tell-tale signs- swearing, muffled Queen music, a trail of snack wrappers, or the overwhelming aura of a spine hunching too far over a computer screen.
Light spills from a half-open door, and you've found your prize. Such as it is. Frederick looks about a well as anyone could at this ungodly hour of the day. With the tired dark rings around his eyes and the clawlike hands hovering an inch above the keys, all he needed was a striped tail, and he'd be a pretty convincing raccoon.
"Frederick..." You sigh, half frustration and half pity. You're plenty aware that there's always more work to be done on the project. And, likewise, Frederick is plenty good at keeping pace when he's engrossed in his work- the problem, then, is actually getting him to stop.
It's hard to tell if he even noticed your arrival. You weren't especially quiet, but he hasn't looked up from the monitor. It seems better to risk it. You tap him on the shoulder to get his attention.
The startled noise he makes has you covering your ears, but he immediately follows it with a yawn. The bewilderment on his face can barely escape out from under the eyebags.
"How long 've you been here? Why'd you come all the way out?"
"Because it's past midnight, and I'm here to drag your sorry butt home." You reply, with a hint of teasing. "I don't know how you haven't already passed out at your desk."
"M'fine, m'fine," he says, rather unconvincingly. He attempts to fortify it with a reassuring pat to your arm, but the fact that he misses the first attempt only convinces you further.
You decide to be stubborn. It's the only thing that would work. "You are not fine, and you are going to bed."
Frederick huffs. "Okay, fine. Just five more minutes. Lemme finish with this data sample."
"No, not five minutes, now."
He doesn't respond, just goes back to typing.
"Frederick!"
"Just gotta get a little more done..."
In a way, it's kind of admirable. Frederick doesn't half-ass the things he finds important. But nonetheless, you're still standing here when the two of you should have been in bed hours ago. If he's this petulant about it, then you'll just need to step up to match it.
"Come oooon, wouldn't you rather be in bed by now? Think of all the pillows, the blankets, I just pulled a quilt out of the dryer, too. It's still nice and warm~"
The thought definitely has an effect on him. You catch him yawning again. "Does sound kinda nice...gonna be nice as soon as I finish-"
"Hey, uh, Frederick? Can we do this quicker? I didn't want to bring this up now, but I think I might've, um, messed up your Queen collection."
He sluggishly jerks to attention. "You did what??"
You immediately regret the idea. "U-uh, don't worry, I don't think I broke anything, but I might've put the vinyls out of order when I put them away. Can you come back with me and just check it?"
You're not fully sure if he's deceived or not. The heavy sigh seems convincing. "I'm sure y' didn't mean to..."
In any other situation, you would be touched. His vinyl collection is one of his most prized possessions, and he treats them like holy relics. The very idea of them being tampered with in any way would have steam pouring out his ears. Does he love you that much, or is he really *that* tired?
If that's the case, this is *very* serious. You aren't going to play any more games.
It takes Frederick a few moments to realize the keyboard is suddenly out of his reach. A few more to realize that it's not the desk moving, it's him. By that point, it's almost enough to shove the back of his office chair until he's rolling right out of the room.
"Wh- what the hell?! You didn't let me finish!"
"It'll be there in the morning," you reply, continuing to push Frederick down the hall, back the way you came. This isn't your usual way of handling a problem, but if it works, it works. "But your ass is going to bed."
The chair wheels clatter at they hit the edges of tiles. Frederick attempted to plant his heels or cling to the wall to force a stop, but you're just fast enough, and he's just tired enough. The only reason it finally stops is because you aren't stubborn enough to try dragging the both of you down the front steps on wheels. That is a broken bone or three just waiting to happen.
"C'mon, big guy." It takes a bit of effort, but you haul Frederick to his feet with an arm around your shoulder. He sways like a drunkard between each step, and you find yourself happy that any actual drinking he does is at home.
He at least has the sense to cling to your shoulder, leaning in the directions you try to pull him in. Trying to stuff him into the passenger's seat is another trial altogether, but a few hard shoves managed to get him far enough into the seat, and he's too exhausted to object to the manhandling.
Frederick is passed out cold before you can even pull out of the parking lot. A snore that sounds like your name bubbles out of his throat as you turn onto a cozy residential road.
"Love you too, Freddie." You half-snicker, a smile pulling at your lips. "Love you, too."
-
-Frederick is very much a 'keep working as long as you've got the momentum' sort of guy, but that does mean that when he crashes, he crashes *hard,* usually at an ungodly time of day.
-He's also very stubborn and usually will only go to bed on his terms. Getting him to go to sleep when he doesn't want to requires some creativity. Or brute force, that works too
-As much as he tries, he's still not at his college levels of energy anymore, and he'll conk out sooner than he'd like.
-He's a tall guy, so he's a little hard to haul around when he's dozy/sleeping
-He is annoyingly stubborn, but it is slightly softened by how cute he is when he's actually conked out. He's like a big tranquilized bear.

Text
A fluorescent green gaze pierced through him from the rearview mirror. As much as the eye contact sent chills down Dale's spine, he didn't want to look away. Some primal part of his brain was much more comfortable keeping his eyes firmly planted on the predator in the back seat of the police car.
"Why won't he leave?" Dale whispered to his partner, the woman grit her teeth.
"I don't know, but I'm not the idiot who decided to fucking arrest him." spat Whitney.
"I didn't think it would work!" Dale hissed. They were trying to be quiet, but he was certain the ghost boy could hear them clear as day, especially with the quiet of the late night streets. "I was just following protocol. We're not supposed to ignore criminal activity."
"The protocol," Whitney's knuckles tightened on the steering wheel as she circled the block for the third time. "Is to not fuck with the ghosts Dale. Especially that one."
She jerked her head roughly to the boy in the back seat, he was looking around the car and humming to himself, he didn't appear to be paying attention, but that didn't mean he wasn't listening.
"Look I just... we need to at least keep up appearances. We can't just let people think we aren't even trying."
"Yes! Yes we can!" Whitney snapped her mouth shut as her volume started to rise with frustration, she glanced nervously into the mirror and took a deep breath before continuing in a low tone. "We aren't paid to deal with this kind of bullshit, we radio it in and let a Fenton or a Guy in White deal with it."
"Okay I get it!" Dale ran a hand through his thinning hair. "I just... I feel so pathetic doing nothing when ghosts are just running around destroying public property-"
"Oh yeah no that's fine Dale that's a great reason to go and put handcuffs on the most powerful ghost in the fucking city." Whitney took the next turn a little too sharply, Dale felt himself lurch sideways, but the boy in the back hardly moved. It wasn't especially surprising given his usual disregard for the laws of physics.
As well as all the other laws that Officer Dale was supposed to be enforcing.
"I told you I didn't think he would actually come willingly." Dale whispered harshly, his voice containing just the barest hint of hysteria. "I just wanted to show him that we aren't total pushovers, I didn't expect it to go this far."
They circled the block once more as Dale checked the rearview mirror again. Phantom was playing with his handcuffs, jiggling the chain and twisting his hands around them. It was almost like he was trying wriggle his way out of them, Dale knew perfectly well that they were just ordinary handcuffs, and he could phase through them at any moment. Phantom had to know that too.
Whitney flicked her eyes between the mirror and the road.
"Asshole," the word was barely audible, Dale would have missed it had he not seen her lips move. "He's just doing this to fuck with us."
"Of course he is." Dale rubbed at his face tiredly. "He's probably got nothing better to do, maybe he'll leave if another ghost shows up?"
"And exactly how long do you expect us to go around in circles waiting for that to happen?" Whitney asked through gritted teeth. "This is getting fucking embarrassing."
"Maybe we should just take him in," Dale sighed in defeat. Whitney took another corner way too hard, jostling him roughly in his seat.
"I am NOT taking Phantom back for processing. They will NEVER let us live this down, and I am NOT becoming the joke of the precinct because YOU decided to be a god damn moron and arrest a fucking ghost."
Another sharp turn and the entrance to the city park flew by their windows again, Dale had lost count how many times they'd circled the block, but somehow he was certain that Phantom hadn't.
The little shit was enjoying this, why couldn't he just sneak into a movie theatre to get his kicks like a normal teenager?
Whitney growled and pulled the car into a complete stop, the wheels screeched and Dale let out a loud WHUFF as the inertia jerked him hard against his seatbelt.
His partner violently wrenched the door open and pulled herself out of the car, slamming the door shut behind her with far more force than was necessary.
Dale followed suit and looked over the roof of the car as Whitney pulled open the back passenger door and whistled sharply, pointing up and out into the sky.
"Go on, get. Ride's over, you've had your fun."
"Awww come oooon," Phantom whined, "I didn't even get to hear you use the siren!"
"Don't care, we're the police, not baby sitters. Go find some ghost cops to bother."
"The ghost cops aren't as fun," Phantom moaned, but he did as he was told and stepped out of the car. "You know, you guys shouldn't swear so much around minors, you're corrupting the youth!"
"I'll corrupt my foot up your ass if you don't get going." said Whitney, flatly. She put her hand out and Phantom effortlessly dropped the cuffs from his wrists and tossed them at her.
He pulled a face at her as she fumbled with the handcuffs, sticking out a very green tongue.
"I saw that young man!" Dale pointed at him from the other side of the car. "Don't let us catch you disrespecting an officer of the law again! Next time you won't get off with just a warning-"
"Dale! For the love of all that is holy shut your damn fool mouth!"
Phantom hopped backwards from the irate woman, his last few steps landing on empty air. He floated gently upwards with a shit eating grin on his face.
"Well this has been fun but I gotta head off, but thanks for the company! We should do it again some time, see you around!" He waved a casual salute and swung around, legs stretching out into a long swirling tail as he sped off into the sky.
Dale felt his knees shaking as he slipped back into the car. Whitney settled into her seat, hands steady as a rock as she belted herself up and started the car.
"That was terrifying." He gasped.
"And yet you still had to keep playing bad cop."
"I'm sorry it just slipped out! He's no different to any of the other punks we deal with around here. A wiseass with no respect for authority." Dale huffed and folded his arms, crossly.
"...He probably wasn't any different, before he died." Whitney said, quietly.
Dale didn't respond, letting the statement sit heavily between them as the car pulled away from the curb.
"I forget that sometimes, you know." said Dale. "This is the first time I've ever seen him up close and he... he really does just look like some kid. How do you think he... how do you think it happened?"
Whitney let out a deep breath as they completed their final lap around the block and headed in toward the city centre.
"I have no idea, and I'm pretty sure that's the kinda thing you can't ask." she paused for a moment, before continuing with a quiet pain in her voice. "He's so young."
"I wonder if his parents know," Dale mused sombrely, "That he's, you know, still around?"
"Who knows."
A car cut them off suddenly at an intersection.
"That was a red light." Dale announced.
The police car's lights flashed as the siren echoed through the empty streets, and Whitney slammed her foot down to catch up with the offending vehicle.
The conversation was over, but neither cop forgot about the incident, and neither could look at their city's hero and menace quite the same. Dale had gotten quite good at seeing ghosts as merely 'creatures', or 'monsters', things that were entirely Strange and Other. Being up close and personal with one had been a much needed reminder of what a ghost truly was.
And that ghost, the one messing around in the back of his car, was a boy. Just a boy. A boy who had a family, a boy who had a life, a boy who had died.
When Dale got home in the early hours of the morning, he hovered by his kids' bedroom, carefully easing the door open to look at their little sleeping faces. Just to make sure they were still there, right where he left them. Still breathing, still alive.
He knew there was a family out there somewhere, parents who had looked through their son's bedroom door and seen only cold, empty sheets.
Dale stepped very carefully over the spilt lego pieces on the floor, and gave his girls both a long, heartfelt kiss on their little heads, before going back to his own room to lay by his sleeping wife's side.
No, no he truly couldn't look at Phantom quite the same way, not anymore.

So, it is war between us!
Skiiiiiiin
Hopefully this is good ^^'
“Can we watch Boorhees after?”
“You wanna watch Friday the 13th after this one?”
“Yes!”
Davey gave a nod as he chuckled, sitting in front of his nephew who immediately dropped the topic in question. His attention had soon returned to the items before him: large papers and small tubs of paint that he constantly dipped his little fingers into. He then smeared the paint onto the papers, attempting to paint a tree.
“What kind of a tree is that?”
“A me tree.”
“Me tree?”
“No, me!” Rowan giggled as he pointed to himself, accidentally painting a red dot onto the apron he wore to prevent a big mess.
“A you tree?”
“Nooo, me!” the toddler repeated before Davey gave a laugh.
“Oooh! A rowan tree!”
“Ye.” Rowan nodded as he painted little red dots onto the tree, these resembling the berries on the trees. “What you making?”
“I’m painting a jellyfish. Like the ones your mama Jelly likes.” Davey spoke as he presented his painting, noticing that Rowan hadn’t even looked up from his own art. Davey quietly chuckled to himself before turning his attention to his other nephew who was seated on the couch behind the pair. “How you doing Basil?”
Basil’s eyes were practically glued on the TV screen that was on the other side of Basil and Rowan, Halloween 2 playing on the screen. In his little hand was a stick with cotton candy that he bit into every now and then.
“Oh, I’m fine Uncle Davey. I love the movie and cotton candy my Auntie Ally made.” Davey spoke in a high pitched voice before using his own voice. “Oh that’s so good to know Basil. Nice that you’re having fun.”
Davey looked over at the screen, of course Basil would be so entertained with Michael Myers chasing down his victims.
“Davey? Sweet Cheeks?”
“Y-yes?” Davey’s cheeks slightly flushed at the sound of one of the many nicknames his wife used for him.
“Dinner’s ready! Should I bring the bowls over or could you bring the boys?”
“Um…” Davey glanced over at the toddlers who were each still occupied with their own things, but he knew how to get the attention of at least one of them. “Who’s ready for some pasta?”
“Pasta!?” Rowan piped up, nearly spilling one of the cups of paint as he hopped onto his feet and nearly ran to the kitchen. Davey however caught him mi-air.
“Whoa, whoa. Slow down there.” he laughed as he set the squirming Rowan down, then standing up himself. “We’ll be there in a bit Ally.”
“ ‘Kay!” Ally called back as bowls being moved around were heard, starting to be set up.
Davey picked up the TV remote to pause the movie, receiving a sudden reaction from Basil who whipped his head around, almost offended.
“Relax, we’re just gonna go eat now. It’s dinner time.” Davey assured him, Basil giving him a look before giving in and sliding off the couch. With the hand that didn’t hold onto his cotton candy, he took Davey’s hand as Rowan took the other. Together, they all made their way to the dining room.
“What make Auntie Ally?” Rowan asked his aunt as they saw her setting down the bowls of food.
“I made some pasta with pesto sauce.” Ally described as she handed Rowan a silicone fork after she helped him onto a chair. “And do you know how the pasta is shaped?”
“How?”
“It’s shaped like bunnies!” Ally exclaimed which in turn made Rowan gasp loudly, and he excitedly waved his arms around as he looked down at the bowl of green pasta.
“Yeeesss!” Rowan cheered before digging his fork into the pasta, immediately shoving the gathered pasta in his mouth. “I wuv it!”
“I’m so glad.” Ally giggled before watching Davey help Basil up onto his own chair, the toddler being handed his own silicone spoon much to his dismay. Not even forks were harmless in his tiny 4-year old hands. “Hopefully Basil also likes it.”
“I’m sure he will.” Davey grinned as he pulled a chair out for Ally, hearing her whisper a thank you before he took his own seat.
“It’s sooooo good!” Rowan agreed as he shoved more of the pasta bunnies into his mouth, almost finishing the plate. In turn, he coughed as he choked just a bit. Nothing too bad.
“Whoa, slow down!” Davey laughed as he patted Rowan’s back. “I know it’s good, but take it easy, kay? I need you alive for when she picks you up.”
“Okay!” Rowan happily swung his little legs as he continued to eat his pasta a bit more calmly.
Davey looked over at Basil who scooped up his pasta in a much tranquil manner.
“You enjoying the pasta, Basil? I’m sorry we couldn’t find any shapes you would like.” Davey ruffled his nephew’s hair. “We could try to get you some dinosaur shaped ones. Or maybe Halloween ones with little bats and pumpkins.”
“Pumpkins.”
“Yeah, pumpkins.” Davey nodded before hearing Ally drop her fork on her plate, and he looked up at her, taking notice of her shocked expression. “What?”
Davey blinked as Ally’s eyes peered at Basil who continued on with his pasta business.
“Basil, do you want the Halloween pasta?” Ally asked the toddler who gave a nod.
“Halloween.” he repeated after her, a hint of an Australian accent present.
“Oh my god.” Davey now realized. “I...I have to call my sister!”
“Indeed.” Ally smiled as she gently pinched Basil’s cheek. Basil in turn, only continued to eat his pasta as if nothing grand had ever happened.”
_____________
“Skin. Skiiin. Skiiiiiin.”
“Rowan, why are you saying that?”
“Saying what?”
“Skin. Why are you saying that?” Ally asked as she tucked the boys into her and Davey’s bed, letting them sleep there until their parents came to pick them up.
“Oh. Because I hear it a lot.” Rowan shrugged with a giggle as he snuggled into the blankets and pillows, cuddling with his plush bunny that Ally handed to him.
“Where do you hear it?”
“My room. At night. After mommy and daddies go to sleep.” Rowan smiled as Ally gave him a weird look. “Stops when deer daddy comes.”
“Davey?” Ally called out to her husband that soon came into the bedroom.
“Yeah?”
“Um, I think maybe we should stay in the room with the boys.”
“Oh? Is everything okay?” Davey held Ally’s hand as she stood up and led him a bit away from the boys.
“Rowan was saying he constantly hears something saying ‘skin’ in his room. It is heard when their parents go to sleep.” Ally whispered, filled with concern as Davey looked at the boys for a moment.
“I’m...I’m sure it’s nothing. I know these boys and I know their parents; they would have realized if something was up with their boys. Especially with how talkative Rowan can be.”
“I...I guess that’s true.”
“And look, if anything, I have a feeling it might just be Basil. We just learned he actually speaks, so...I dunno...skin might be a word he really likes and he says it when his parents head off.”
“That would make a bit of sense.” Ally gave a smile as she felt a bit more comfortable. It really did make sense, and had it really called for any concern, Davey would have known. “Okay. Let me just finish tucking them in and I’ll meet you in the living room.”
“Sounds good.” Davey nodded. “You still up for Candyman?”
“Of course.” Ally returned the gesture before speaking in a volume she hoped Rowan wouldn’t hear. “Make sure to get the cheese puffs.”
“On it.” Davey snickered with a grin before making his way out, Ally then returning to the boys.
“Auntie, are you gonna read story?” Rowan sweetly asked before Ally sat at the edge of the bed to ruffle his hair.
“I already read you a story. Two, in fact.”
“I want another oooone.”
“No, no. You have to take a nap. Then I can read you another one.” Ally leaned down to kiss the top of Rowan’s head.
“Okie.”
“Okie.” Ally repeated before turning to Basil. “Don’t think I forgot about you.”
Basil gave Ally a side look before his eyes looked back to the front, soon shutting as he played coy.
“Basil,” Ally laughed before leaning over to now kiss his cheek. “Such a cutie. I also have your little Sin-A-Ma-Jig.~”
Basil now opened his eyes before he turned to his side, being handed his singing toy that he squeezed a few times.
“Skin-na-ma-rink.” Ally sang with the toy before fixing the blankets that covered Basil. “You boys have a good night. Sweet dreams, don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
“Good night Auntie.” Rowan yawned before he hugged his bunny tighter, soon going out as it too Basil a few moments to finally fall asleep too.
Ally smiled at the sight of the peacefully slumbering twins before turning off the lights, making sure to leave on a small projector that made stars on the ceiling. She left the door a little open before walking down the hallway, soon entering the living room where Davey laid on a couch with blankets and a large bowl of cheese puffs.
“How are they?” Davey asked before shifting so that Ally could comfortably lay between his legs.
“Both went out like a light.” she responded as she snuggled against his chest, feeling Davey drape a blanket over the two which already had Ally shutting her eyes.
“It looks like you’re going out too.”
“I’m just very comfortable on my Snuggle Shark.” Ally batted her eyelashes at Davey who looked away rather flustered, watching the movie that had been playing. “I love those boys Davey.”
“Me too.” Davey gave a sigh as he ran his fingers through Ally’s hair.
“You know,” she started. “I can’t wait till we have our own little ones.”
“Yeah.” Davey nodded, but he soon stopped himself once he properly processed the words. He looked down at Ally who only gave him a sly smile, soon burying her face into his chest before watching the movie. Davey, on the other hand, couldn’t help but give a flushed smile as he also turned his attention to the movie.
“Skin.”
“Did you say something?” Davey looked down at Ally again.
“No.” she shook her head.
“Oh. Okay. I must be hearing things with all this…”
“This what?”
“Well, ya know.” Davey made a motion with his hand as Ally looked up at him with a smirk. “Kid talk.”
“Uh huh.~”
“I mean,” Davey shrugged with a shy smile. “I know we’ve briefly mentioned the topic before but...I also...yeah…”
Ally watched Davey fumble with his words a bit, chuckling to herself before she brought herself closer to his face to plant a kiss on his chin.
“We could always start planning to have a little shark of our own.” Ally breathed out before pecking his chin once more.
“Oh, I see.” Davey basically giggled at himself at the suggestion, but the moment was soon ruined by a single word.
“Skiiin.”
“Okay, you had to have heard that.”
“Heard what?” Ally made a weird face.
“Skiiin.”
“Um,” Ally now sat up as she furrowed her brows. “I told you something was wrong!”
“Skiiin.”
“No, no. I think I know where it’s coming from.” Davey reassured her. “Just stay here, I’ll be right back.”
“Skiiin.”
“Are you sure? I can come with you.” “Skiiin.”
“Trust me, it’s all okay. I’ll be right back.” Davey removed himself from the couch before making his way to their bedroom. He immediately turned on the light to look at the sleeping boys, neither one seeming like they had woken up.
Davey gave a “hmm” as he slowly approached the bed, closely examining the two boys.
Rowan was in a deep sleep, arms and legs clearly sprawled under the blankets as his bunny was set on his chest. Meanwhile, Basil slept on his side, hugging his Sing-A-Ma-Jig tightly.
“I know you’re awake.” Davey claimed to the latter of the two, not receiving any response. So, he reached out and took hold of Basil’s toy, immediately feeling a grip from Basil. “I know you’re awake Basil.”
After a few tugs, Basil finally opened his eyes and glanced over at Davey who gave a sigh and chuckle.
“Buddy, come on. You have to go to sleep.” Davey insisted as he ruffled Basil’s hair, then he reached down to poke Basil’s toy. “Was that you, or this little guy?”
Basil looked down at his toy, giving himself a moment before he squeezed its belly.
“Skiiin.”
“Oh my god.” Davey gave a bit of a laugh. “Okay, well...I just need you to go to sleep, okay?”
The toddler stared up at Davey, giving him a single blink of his eyes that looked almost judgemental.
“Look, if you go to sleep, I can ask Ally to fire up her cotton candy machine and I’ll send you home with some cotton candy in some cool shapes.” Davey attempted to bargain as his nephew actually gave the offer thought. “Come on Basil. You really have to sleep, I shouldn’t be bargaining with my 4-year old nephew.”
Basil once again only blinked up at Davey.
“If you won’t sleep for cotton candy, at least sleep for me.” Davey grinned, but Basil only gave him a weird look. “Alright, alright. If not for me, sleep for your mommy. I know she’d be happy if I told her you were being a good boy and went night-night.”
At this, Basil could do nothing but give a sigh before rolling onto his back, toy hugged tight against his chest before he shut his eyes.
“I’m watching you.” Davey joked as he slowly stepped out of the room, finishing the interaction by turning off the light as he officially made his way out and back to the living room where Ally eagerly awaited him.
“So?”
“It was just Basil.”
“Really?”
“Well, not Basil-Basil. He was playing with that toy of his.”
“Skinamarink?”
“Skina-what?”
“Skinamarink, that’s what the toy sings.” Ally explained as Davey as he took a seat beside her. “Skinamarink, a-dink, a-dink. Skinamarink, a-doo, I love you. I love you in the evening underneath the moon.”
“Not ringing a bell.”
“Davey! You’ve babysitted these kids before!” Ally laughed as Davey gave a shrug. “But I don’t understand how the toy would say ‘skin’ and only ‘skin’.”
“Maybe Basil broke it and instead of making such a big deal he decided he liked it that way.”
“Maybe.” Ally gave a bit of a shrug as she resumed snuggling up to Davey, his arms wrapped around her as he nuzzled his nose into her hair. “Are we still watching the movie?”
“Yeah, of course.” Davey nodded as he cuddled with Ally, beginning to feel his eyes grow heavy as they landed on the TV screen.
“Skiiin.”
“God dammit.”
“What?” Ally lifted her head, also having found herself falling asleep.
“Skiiin.”
“Oh dear.” Ally rubbed her eyes as she woke up a bit more. “Davey, just leave him be.”
“Skiiin.”
“I would, but he has to take a nap. Or else he’s not gonna sleep at his own house.” Davey shook his head as Ally carefully removed herself from him. “I’ll be right back.”
“Mmkay.” she gave a disappointed hum as Davey made his way to the bedroom once again, turning on the lights in an instan to see Basil with his toy propped up on his chest.
Basil ever so casually looked at Davey, maintaining eye contact for a few seconds before his attention returned to his toy. Soon enough, he continued pressing the toy’s stomach before that dreaded sound was heard once again.
“Skiiin.”
“So, it is war between us!” Davey claimed, partly as a joke but still a bit serious as he approached the apathetic Basil. The toddler didn’t even bother to look at him as he continued to squeeze his toy. “Basil, come on. We talked about this.”
Finally, Basil looked up at Davey who gave him a semi-stern look.
“Skiiin.”
“Basil.” Davey repeated. “Please, you have to go to sleep buddy. You don’t want your mom to be upset, do you?”
Basil blinked at Davey, then shook his head no.
“Then you have to go to sleep, okay?”
Davey stared down at Basil who only stared back, blinking at him every now and then without any response. It was clear that Basil was just not feeling it; he was only going to continue playing with the toy unless Davey took it away, which Davey was not about to do. Unfortunately for him, there weren’t very many other options to hand to Basil in exchange for the toy.
“Okay, let’s make a deal.” Davey thought. “If I let you watch Candyman with me and Ally, will you go to sleep?”
Almost immediately, Basil gave a nod.
“Yeah, I had a feeling you’d say yes.” Davey helped Basil sit up. “But that just leaves me with the question...what to do with Rowan? I don’t want to leave him alone, but I also don’t want him waking up with the movie…”
“How about, you take Basil with you to the living room, and I take a nap with Rowan?” Davey now heard Ally behind him. “I’m actually getting a bit sleepy.”
“Oh, well that solves that.” Davey grinned as he picked up Basil, his nephew of course not letting go of his toy.
Ally gave a hum before kissing Davey’s lips, and then kissing the top of Basil’s head.
“You two have fun.” she spoke as she climbed into bed with Rowan, hugging the toddler to herself as he unconsciously snuggled back. “Nighty night.~”
“Sleep well.” Davey bid his wife before turning off the lights, soon walking out with Basil in his arms. The two were now in the living room once again, Davey laying on the couch as he let Basil lay on his chest.
“Did you know that the second Candyman movie is named ‘Farewell to the Flesh’?” Davey told Basil who looked over at his toy, giving it a single squeeze. “Yeah, Farewell to the Skiiin.”
Davey chuckled to himself as he fixed Basil’s hair, then giving him a kiss on the forehead.
Basil sprawled out all of his limbs on Davey, all but one that held onto his toy. He set his head down on Davey, eyes beginning to shut as he spoke one last word.
“Skiiin.”
“Yeah, yeah. Skiiin..”

Ok but like 🥺 The eight precepts, Kurono, and Mimic try to set up a surprise date for Kai and his S/O. Like the whole pretending to be waiters for them and stuff? :0
Tumblr media
"Good afternoon, may I please take ya order?"
Chisaki didn't know anymore who to slap; himself out of embarrassment or Mimic in his human form getting in such a ridiculous... outfit... he only wanted to bury himself on the ground when he heard your nervous giggles.
When you mentioned about having an indoor date due to the storm outside he actually, and surprisingly, agreed... but this was not what he meant... at all.
"My my Kai, even inside the house you can be quite fancy right?"
"I didn't planned or ordered this." He growled threateningly before he felt your gentle handd on his gloved one.
"Then lets enjoy ourselfs! Is not always that you are caught off of guard on something!"
"That's exactly why I don't like neither accept being catched off of guard." He pointed at the table and Mimic getting out of the run. "He looks ridiculous and this whole thing is pathetic as embarrassing as it is-!" He stopped when he noticed that in the middle of his vent you had seated on the chair, happily waiting for him to seat down as well.
"... I despise you in so many levels..." he growled and rather abruptly sitted down.
"You know~" you singed while smilling "I can see that angry pout of yours even with your mask oooon" you shivered at the hot glare of his.
"How dare you?" He growled threateningly and darkly at you, making you lift your hands up in surrender
"Sorry sorry!"
You stiffled a laughter of yours at seing Chrono aproaching.
"Good night you two."
You laughed a quiet good night while Chisaki's eye twitched.
"What's the meaning of this Chronostasis?"
"Sorry I am only the waiter today, so-" he was interrupted by a loud 'crash' from where he had come of and a few curses and shouts.
"Pardon me a moment." Hari ranned back and left you two only listening what was happening.
"GOD FUCCKING DAMMIT DEIDORO THAT WAS FOR THE BOSS AND HIS PARTNER!" Nemoto's voice echoed through the room.
"So what if-?! That was -hic- fucking strong for th -hic- anyway-!"
"PuNK NoW We WiLL HaVE OuR FucKinG HeaDs ShoP OfF! DO YoU FuCkiNG KnOW HoW LuCKY YoU ARe FoR PresTinG On OvErHaUL's DaTE?!"
"You all can calm the fuck down?! Both of them are outside this room!" Hari yelled to get more order in there but it only got worse...
Chisaki groaned while burring his face on his hand while you looked at the door in amazement while you giggled.
"They are giving their best though?" You try to defend them but only got a ugly glare from your boyfriend.
"Say... is it much disgusting those 'take outs'? "
"Judging by how I know you? You won't like them, especially when you don't see how they are made or what they used it."
"Life is full of risks. Come." He grabbed on your wrist and dragged you out of there "Is better than this, anything is better than this."
You laughed at noticing his desperation and the hint of pink on his ears.
Aww he was embarrassed!

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Saturday 24th June, 2017
So I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of seeing the new cast again and let me tell you, they were phenomenal. From the very first scene to their last, I was fully immersed in the story and loving every second of it. The comparison between the show I saw in their first week to the show I just saw now is mind blowing. Part of me was wishing that this is how I should have seen them that first time, but now I’m glad I didn’t because it means I got to see them grow. They’re noticeably more comfortable on stage and more familiar with their characters and it’s made all the difference. I never got to see that with the original cast (not in the beginning anyway) so that was wonderful to see with this one. It has made me love and appreciate this cast even more!
Today’s performance was particularly special for me as I was sat in the riiiight in the middle of the front row. Squeeeak! I was snowed on, soaked with water, hit with winds from the train, blinded by the fire, lit up by the lights, and brushed past by Voldemort. It was an experience. 
But anyway, more on that later. I’ve got a Theo to gush about *cracks knuckles* right...!
I have to start with Theo because that boy has blossomed into an incredible Albus. Where I only saw glimpses of his full potential last time, I was smacked right in the face (and the feels) with it in this show. He was totally mesmerising to watch. Not in the distracting kind of way Scorpius can be with his billion little mannerisms (not that that’s a bad thing), but for how Theo completely embodies Albus’s pain. He’s crushed by it in those scenes and watching him break apart on stage had me in tears over and over again. Which you know, is super embarrassing considering the cast would have seen that : / Moooving on. From an Albus fan point of view, I LOVE how he’s the one that people are leaving the theatre and talking about. All I’ve ever wanted is for everyone to love and understand Albus. It kills me how people are so quick to write him off as a spoilt angsty teenager when that’s not the case at all!!! There’s so much more going on there and Theo is showing that brilliantly. There’s always been an honestly about Albus I’ve admired but now there’s a fearless vulnerability to him that just makes me want to mother him. I’ve always been protective of Albus but Theo has made it a thousand times worse. THANKS THEO.
I spoke about Samuel a lot in my last recap and I adore his Scorpius just as much today as I did back then. He’s nerdy and awkward and loveable and everything I want for Scorpius Malfoy. Samuel gives us so much. There’s so many little things he does that really bring the whole character together. He makes Scorpius very real on a whole other level. (I’m not going to be able to describe this well at all but here goes...) I’ve never once seen or thought about ‘Samuel’ when he’s on that stage. He’s pure Scorpius and his Scorpius acts like he would as if he’s really been around for the fourteen years he’s suppose to have been. All those little Scorpius things are so completely natural to him. It’s really the most amazing to watch.
As for the Scorbus-y stuff because you know, username and all, these two are actually adorable. There's an innocence to this Scorbus that makes me want to single handedly and wandlessly take on Delphi myself. They appear and act a lot younger than Anthony and Sam’s Scorbus ever did. It also means it feels like they need each other more because of that. So it makes sense that there’s a ri-dic-ou-lous amount of touching between these two. If they don’t have an arm around the other then they’re holding onto an arm or patting a shoulder. It’s really the sweetest thing you’ll ever see. You know how really young kids will meet someone new and instantly declare them their best friend and then refuse to let go for the fear of losing them? It’s like that. Which to be fair, their first handshake does go ooon and oooon... : ) Today Albus actually reached for Scorpius’s hand back and instigated another handshake. Apparently one was not enough. To be fair, it wasn’t. The first time I saw it their handshake went on foreverrrr, but today it was quite short. Albus was having none of that. Bless.)
Riiight. The recap! So the super duper @torestoreamends has written a 17k+ recap (Part One / Part Two) of this show so there isn’t much point in writing the same things over and over again. I haven’t read it yet but I know, without a doubt, that she’ll have described it in waaay better than I ever could. So instead I’m going to pick out a few of my favourite things and other little tidbits I picked up on from the front row. 
Act One, Scene Two
So you know when Albus is sat on the front of his trolley at King’s Cross? Well the trolley kept threatening to tip over and my heart was beating out of my chest for him. I thought @thatwasdramatic​ was about to get a lap full of Theo any second :’) He did manage to balance himself better after the trolley’s third attempt at freedom but by that point I had lost where I was in the scene.
Act One, Scene Four
Scorpius was crossing his fingers on both hands as he nervously waited for the Sorting Hat’s decision. His arms were down by his sides so his hands were slightly hidden by his robes. It meant the finger crossing was just for him, not for the whole school to see. Bless this child.
In contrast to that, Albus is also visibly nervous but his hands were balled up into fists. My poor, anxious little bean.
Transition sequence between Act One, Scene Six and Seven
I REALLY love hearing the stuff the mics don’t pick up. That’s definitely one of the highlights about sitting so close. During this transition, there’s a moment here where Albus walks to the very edge of the stage, right in the middle, and he stands there for a second or two. The stage is mostly dark (Ginny is watching him from further back while things are moved on and off stage) but there’s a spotlight illuminating him from above/behind.
So imagine, there I am, looking up at this character who means the world to me. He’s right there in front of me. Less than a metre away. I could hear the heartbreaking sigh (there’s music so I don’t think you would have heard it otherwise). I could see his face and body drop with exhaustion and hurt as he let his head fall back slightly (he’s about to have that argument with his dad and you could sense it coming). He’s all backlit and surrounded by this stunning white light and it’s probably the nearest I’ll get to a religious experience I honestly wanted to cry??? I think it was because there was nothing else happening, no script, no props. Just Albus. Albus Severus Potter ♥︎
Act One, Scene Seven
This scene didn’t work for me last time (it’s one of my favourites too) but it blew me away today. I felt Albus’s pain 100% here. He was upset, anxious about his return to Hogwarts the next day, and it manifested into the outburst of anger that Harry bears the brunt of.
Talking of sighs again, the two of them are sat next to each other on Albus’s bed until there’s pause in the conversation. Harry then got up and walked off so he was turned away from Albus when he said, “Do you want a hand? Packing.” It meant he missed Albus’s reaction. The reaction that broke my heart. You could see the words register on his face as his dad spoke you and then he just... broke. He dropped his head into his hands and he let out the biggest, most pain filled sigh. I don’t think he’s angry at Harry specifically here, not really, or he’s at least not fuelled by his resentment in the way Sam’s Albus was. He’s more despairingly frustrated than anything else. Theo’s Albus is tired of the strained conversation and wants to be left alone in peace. Harry turning the conversation to Harry Potter and to how wonderful Hogwarts is antagonised him because it meant his dad wasn’t hearing him. Really hearing him. Specifically...  : (
Act One, Scene Sixteen
They’ve stepped the Polyjuice transformation up a gear and the audience really eats it up. My faaavourite little bit was when Scorpius’s own arms start to retract back into his robes (Harry’s arms then come through instead) and as they were slowly disappearing, Scorpius let out a panicked ‘nononononono’ as he stared down at them. The fear was real.
Act One, Scene Twelve
Like I said, there were certain parts of the show that made me feel as if I was actually part of the action from where I was sat. This scene was one of them. Everyone is crowded round and looking up at Hermione and Harry up on the stairs and we were having to do the same thing. Peering past the heads of the wizards in front of us to see. I really felt like one of the crowd. It was awesome : )
The same thing happened every time anything took place at the front of the stage because then the lights would be on us too. It made me feel a liiiiittle bit exposed : | But anyway, those lights get warm after a while. The actors must melt after five hours!
Act One, Scene Nineteen
“This is going to be good” - This line was so go-oooooo-ooo-ooo-ooood’ because it was said/sang exactly like that. Bless you Samuel, bless you.
Act Two, Scene Nineteen
“Consider me engorgimpressed” - It took him a second but Scorpius did look a little embarrassed by this today. Albus was confused but there was a hint of a smirk on his face. This was iiiiinteresting, considering they didn’t play with this line at all last time.
Act Three, Scene Three
Draco held Scorpius by the chin and looked at him. I mean, really looked at him. The stage direction says ‘Draco studies his son’ and that’s exactly what he did. Scorpius was unprepared and was probably expecting the worse. Instead he got, ‘there’s more of her in there than I thought’, which I think will mean a lot to him when he processes that. Given the fact they aren’t talking about her back in their reality and all. But yeah, I really loved that chin hold. It wasn’t particularly gentle, nor was it violent like when he held him down on the desk. (The way Draco looks at his hand after that like he can’t believe he did it pains me.) But it was an interesting and somewhat touching moment between father and son. I really liked it. Reeeally hoping it stays...
Act Three, Scene Nine
As soon as Umbridge makes her appearance, Scorpius runs and hides behind a tree and IT’S THE BEST THING I’VE EVER WITNESSED. He stays there until Umbridge mentions his name because of course she knew exactly where he was. But that boy hid anyway :’)
Scorpius reached out to touch Snape’s doe Patronus and it was a really beautiful moment. There was so much wonder in his face. (It makes me wonder if that’s the first time he’s seen a Patronus? Or at least up close? If Draco still can’t conjure one and Astoria being so weak? Although I like to think he can by now...) It meant his next line, “thank you for being my light in the darkness”, had a much greater impact. Or it did on me at least.
THE LAKE.
So the theatre has an actual splash zone (no, seriously) and while I joked about whipping out my emergency poncho at the beginning of this scene, I really should have. I say this not to complain about getting wet, but to thank Samuel for being a flaily little fish in the water. It wasn’t even just the once though? We were repeatedly splashed and it was the best thing ever!!! (I never thought I’d be so ecstatic about being soaked by lake water but here we are! What has this play done to me...)
Oh! So I nearly forgot the most important part! The water is warm. Like, a nice bath kinda warm. It surprised me so much I literally jumped back in my seat. It goes to show how lost you get in the story because I’ve always presumed that water was cold, like a lake should be. I’ve never given it a second thought. Although obviously now I’m thinking about it, It can’t be cold otherwise they actors would be sick all the time. Duh.
Another thing, you could hear the water sloshing about as Theo must have been getting in the water from under the stage. (The tank is still hidden at this point so you know, not good.) Someone must have been shining a torch down there for him too because you could see the light through the gaps in the stage. It was kiiiind of distracting since it kept moving around but to be honest (although I’m sure your ‘normal’ theatre goers didn’t notice), I was just excited because it meant Albus was coming back :’) Also, I find the bits you aren’t meant to see super interesting. The special effects are amazing but I LOVE seeing how they’re done. So yeah, if you don’t want to see wires and whatnot, don’t sit near the front!
Act Three, Scene Eleven
This was another outstanding scene from Theo. And Jamie. They portray the fragile state of Harry and Albus’s relationship so brilliantly. It’s full of painful misunderstandings, poorly timed outbursts, and misguided anger. And tears. So many tears... *glares at Theo* But I know there’s love there. They make that obvious too. They’re both sat on top of a suitcase and even though they’re turned slightly away from each other, they’re still so close. It’s clear that neither of them want it to be this way, they just don’t know what to do to fix it. It’s the awkwardness of their relationship that hurts them. It makes me so sad because you see they weren’t like that before Hogwarts. Before the bullying. Watching that bond deteriorate through those quick glances of his school years breaks my heart. I can’t imagine what that must be like for Harry. To know he’s slowly losing his son but everything he tries to do to bring him back just pushes him further away...
But back to Theo because he was destroying me here. Albus was crying actual tears and pulling down on the sleeves of his jumper. It’s like he’s trying to hide himself, like maybe if he wraps himself up then it won’t hurt as much.
Fun fact: it still hurt me. Thanks Theo.
As if I wasn’t already crying, Albus’s last “no” was utterly broken. He was so honest with it and no attempt was made at hiding those emotions from his dad. THAT’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT ALBUS SEVERUS POTTER. That boy might wear his anger as a shield but he also wears his heart on his sleeve.
Act Three, Scene Fourteen
This is one of my favourite scenes to watch and Samuel never fails to keep me captivated.
I love that when he’s wheeled on stage in his bed, he’s wide awake and clearly plotting how to wake Albus up. Or he’s counting down the minutes until he’s allowed to wake Albus up. (I totally believe he was given an ‘absolutely not before this time’ talk and will clock watch.)
“Albus... Psst... Albus. ALBUS!” - Aaaand the most quoted line of the entire play goes to... *drumroll* Scorpius’s little whisper-shout of “Albooooos” as he tries to wake Albus up. The pillow fight still happens too. Although it was less of a fight today and more of an attack. Albooos was seeking his revenge.
“Bring back Moldy Voldy and have him torture me?” - So as he said this, he pulled his duvet up over his head and wrapped it around himself (like it’s a hooded cloak) and made creepy ‘Voldemort’ hands at Albus. Kinda like....
Tumblr media
...THAT! Except less menacing because this is Scorpius we’re talking about. He did this last time and I’m so glad he’s kept it because the parallels are TOO GOOD. Honestly, these Malfoys and their Potters :’)
Act Four, Scene Two
When the station master talks and the boys look confused, Albus looked between Scorpius and the station master before taking a step or two backwards. He then gestured at Scorpius as if to say, ‘you can handle this, he’s all yours’, and it was hilarious. I love the idea of Albus just going noooope whenever he doesn’t want to deal with something and smiling at Scorpius, hoping he’ll sort it out. (They both must know Scorpius can’t refuse that smile.)
Imagine though. The bowtruckles have wandered off and Professor Longbottom asks Albus to help him round them all back up. Scorpius is packing his things away, thinking about which essay to start first since they both have a free period next and then to his left he hears a sweetly whispered “Scorrrrrpiuuuus” in a near perfect imitation of his own singsong voice. He turns and sees Albus flash him this big toothy grin... aaand Scorpius kisses goodbye to his hour in the library. I bet Albus has dragged him into some right situations- OH WAIT.
Also, can you imagine how giddy Scorpius is going to be around Neville after the events of CC? The whole of history rests on his teacher! Squeeeak. But also imagine Scorpius wanting to adopt ALL the bowtruckles. Eventually one is going to bit him but he won’t care, he’s so excited. He’ll turn to Albus with his newly bitten finger up in the air and he’ll say, “I can’t wait to tell my dad about this!”, and poor Neville will fear for his life. Oh if only Hogwarts held a parents’ evening...
Transition sequence between Act Four, Scene Two and Three
I loooove this transition ♥︎ There’s pumpkins and snow! Oh the snow! You get snowed on when you’re sat at the front #blessed
*whispers* psst....I may or may not have kept a piece of snow... I say ‘kept’, it obviously drifted on down into my bag :p
No but really, you do get a little bit snowed on in these seats. It’s really quite cool.
Act Four, Scene Ten
While the adults transfigured Harry into Voldemort, Albus and Scorpius were stood further back and Scorpius was holding onto Albus’s arm/inner elbow. I’m not sure if he was comforting Albus or if it was because he was tiny bit scared himself (one or both of them flinched back as Harry cried out) but I loved it all the same.
Aaaaand a few more things because if I don’t add them as quick last minute bullet points then I’ll still be here writing about this performance two months from now. Not that that’s a bad thing. You could easily talk about it for that long. It really was one of the best and most enjoyable shows I’ve been too.
The Scorpius torture scene was A+ on everyone’s part, Albus was really shouting for Scorpius this time and I felt that like a stab in the chest.
Can we talk about Delphi please? That pendant on her choker definitely looks like a bird skull. An Augurey perhaps? I like to think it’s her mothers since Bellatrix wore a necklace with the same(?) pendant in the movies. I know she says the tattoo come from the pet bird but I’m far more inclined to believe it’s a nod to Bellatrix. The name too. Maybe it’s the only thing she has of hers?
EDIT: So Annabel says it is in fact an Augurey skull. Niiiiice.
You should all know that me and @thatwasdramatic resisted the urge to make Voldemort do the limbo (we were on either side of aisle) as he walked between us. Next time!
Oh and Voldemort felt even closer this time. His wand was literally centimetres away from my arm and I’m not sure how I felt about that : / It was a liiiittle bit too close for comfort. At least he didn’t hiss at me this time.
Ok. So. Real talk. I’m a tiny bit scared about just how on top form these two already are and we’re only a month into their run. A month. It makes me really, really, really excited about the rest of the year : ) That goes not only for Theo and Samuel, but the whole cast. I know I barely mentioned anyone else but every single one of them were brilliant. I struggled seeing some of their characters that first time (a poor combination of their nervousness/newness and me still holding onto the old cast) but that’s long gone now. It took time but I realised you don’t move on from an original cast, you just accept another one into your heart alongside them. 
This cast are particularly special though. I love how invested in the show and their characters they are. You see it on stage and hear it in their words at stage door. So much care and thought has gone into everything they do, even the little things 95% of audience won’t see and/or notice. I hope they know how much it means to those of us who do notice though. I hope they know that we go into the theatre and purposely look out for those things. Just like I hope they know we go home with a smile on our face because of it. Muggles People always ask me why I keep going back to see it again, and the answer is simple. Nothing makes me more enthusiastic than a cast who love their characters (and the story) as much as I do. That’s the magic of the show.
Well, that and who wouldn’t want to spend the day in the same room as Harry Potter?! Seriously though, I’ve read the books, seen the movies, worn the robes, met the actors, visited the sets etc, and it’s this show that makes me feel the closest to the magic. It’s not trapped flat behind a screen or locked inside my head. It’s right there in front of me. For someone who’s loved HP for twenty years, it’s been a dream come true.

What about an s/o that wants a kiss from the boys but is too shy to ask for one
Naw, shy s/o’s are cute s/o’s! And kisses are the best! (I’msorry if these are long, they kind of turned into mini scenarios thanheadcanons but I hope you still like!)
Noctis:
- He was stillplaying that game. You knew that he had a serious rivalry going on withPrompto, but Prompto wasn’t even thereright now.- You felt like he had been playing for such a long time, and you were wantingsome affection.- Trouble is, how do you go about asking for it? The idea of straight up askingfor a kiss made you squirm in embarrassment. - Ugh, I don’t want him to laugh at me.- You shuffled up closer to him, still focused on his phone, until you were satside by side. - “Nooooct.” You mumbled, slumpingyour head against his shoulder. - Feel like I’m a cat right now.- “Mmm?” He leaned his head against yours but didn’t put his game down.- “Come oooon.” - “Hmm?” - That’s it.- You wriggled under his arms so your head was in front of his phone screen,blocking his view.- “Hi!” You beamed.- He looked at you, highly bemused. - “What’s up.”- “You’ve been playing that game for agesnow.” - He put the phone to the in his pocket – finally!- “You’re right, what would you rather do?” He ran a hand through his ravenhair and laid back on his bed after being hunched playing that game for solong. You sit up still beside him, looking down at the raven-haired prince.- “Well, I kind of wanted…” But the words were stuck in your throat.- He raised an eyebrow at you.- “Yeah?” - “A… I wanted a…” God damn it. Thewords weren’t coming.- In a last ditch attempt, you puckered your lips to convey something.- Ah yes, much less embarrassing. Ughhhh.- Noct’s eyes widened in realisation, and his cheeks reddened to match yours.- “Oh, you want a k-kiss?” - “Yes!” Your voice sounded so loudin your own ears you nearly grimaced. But Noctis didn’t seem to notice.- “Okay.” He gulped, suddenly as nervous as you. But he brought a hand up torest gently on your back.  Carefully hepulled you down to his level, your hands splayed out on his chest and your facesalmost touching. - His eyelids fluttered shut and your lips connected – and all the nervousnessdisappeared. - His free hand wound around your waist and pulled you tighter against him, hisother tracing up your back to wind in your hair. His lips moved against yoursquickly, almost urgently, like he’d been longing to do this for a while. Youboth had, but had been too nervous to instigate it.- His teeth caught your bottom lip and he gave a gentle tug before letting itgo, smiling into the kiss at your gasp. - You could feel his heart racing underneath your palm, and you were certainyours matched his.- You broke apart, both of you breathing heavily. Giving him a quick smile, yourested your head in the crook of his neck, willing your breathing to slow.- Noctis held you close like that for a while, happy to spend the hours thisway.
Prompto:
- You were sat with Prompto, your back against his chest ina tight cuddle anyway.- This boy was all about the cuddles.- As lovely as that was, you were dying for him to kiss you! But you couldn’t justask. It seemed such an awkward thing to do! But he might not kiss you anytimesoon at this rate.- “Prom?” - “Yes?” He smiled at you, his arms tight around your waist.- “ I would kind of like you to do something for me.” You stammered, thankfulyou were looking straight ahead.- “Of course!” His hands moved from your waist to hold both of your own, hisfingers lacing through yours. - “Can you… ah.” Your voice trailed off. How were you supposed to say this?- “What’s wrong?” You could hear the concern in his voice.- Great now I’m worrying him. He’s too lovely.- “I’d just like…like more.” Yousaid, feeling your face burn as you lifted your entwined hands as a clue towhat you meant.- Please understand.- “You want more… affection?”- “Y-yeah, but different.”- “What, you mean like kisses?” - “Exactly!”- Thank the gods for Prompto.- “O-oh! Of course!”- Prompto would be so eager, yet so nervous at the same time as you turnedaround in his lap. - His bright blue eyes were wide, and he was praying you couldn’t feel the tremorsin his hands.- He just so badly didn’t want to mess this up!- You could see his chest rise and fall with every breath, and you weren’t evenkissing yet! - But then he brought his soft lips to yours, his hands at your shoulders as hebrought you in close. - His kiss was clumsy at first, but soon he found a rhythm for you both and hemelted into the kiss, loving your lips on his.- His grip on you tightened, pulling you impossibly closer to him as he groanedin satisfaction. - Your hands were in his hair, on his chest, on his biceps, anywhere you couldget. He was all yours.- Too soon he broke away, breathing hard and red in the face.- “I…I’m sorry if that wasn’t great.”- You scoffed. Wasn’t great? It was awesome!- “Even if it wasn’t, practice makes perfect!” You beamed, which brought outsmile from him, catching on to what you were saying.- “I guess we’ll have to practice lots then won’t we?” He chuckled.
Gladiolus:
- You had been dating Gladio for a few weeks, but you hadonly shared a handful of kisses. - You felt that maybe this was in part your fault, cause you just couldn’t findup the courage to ask him for one! He would always instigate, but maybe he feltlike you weren’t that into it?- So you decided you were gonna ask him for one, and show him how much youloved them!- As you went to open your mouth however, nothing came out.- “Hmm? What is it babe?” He’d notice your expression, and realise youwanted to say something.- But you just couldn’t say it!- Dear gods above help!- Your cheeks went red as you tried to hide your face, but Gladio was tooquick, and lifted your chin up gently so you couldn’t hide.- “C’mon, I can tell you want something.” - His eyes are alight with playfulness.- “I just wanted to y’know… wanted to…” You gesture quickly to yourlips, your cheeks feeling like they were on fire.- You could see the mental ‘click’ in his eyes as Gladio put two and twotogether to realise what you were asking for. But his lips broke out into hisusual, cheshire cat grin.- “You want to what?” He’s smirking.- Oh my god he’s going to make me say it.- “I just want… I want a-” but before you could finish your sentence, hecuts you off as his lips lock around yours.- You gasp in surprise, but he just used it as a chance to deepen the kiss, hislips hot, moving against yours. - His hand tangles in your hair in the way he knew you liked, pulling you closerto him and giving it a gentle tug. His free hand brought you closer to him so youwere almost sat on his lap.- Gladio’s hum of appreciation resonated through you – you were making him do that! - Your hands rested on his biceps for support, becoming lightheaded from thedepth of Gladio’s kiss.- He pulled away with that smile already in place, loving your dazedexpression.- “Was that a good enough… y’know.” - “Don’t tease me!” - His chuckle is deep and happy, and fills you with joy.- Ah you did love this man.
Ignis:
- God this guy was so smooth with his words, how on earthwere you supposed to ask him for a kiss?- But you wanted one badly, as you sat and watched him in his chair from yourown. His long fingers held a book open in front of him, his other handoutstretched to reach for a sip of his coffee. He brought the can to his lips,and you watched as they closed softly around the edge of the can to take a sip.His head tipped back slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed.- Ah! It’s too much! You had to feelthose lips on your own!- Ignis put down his coffee and looked at you quizzically, drawn by the oddnoise that had escaped your lips.- How mortifying…- “Are you alright my love?” He asked.- No.- “Yes. Yes I was just… just thinking.” You gabbled, feeling the blush risingto your cheeks already.- “About what?” He looked at you curiously, no doubt noticing the light redtinge across your cheeks.- “Oh, um… well just that I wanted…” - Ugh why did you have to struggle so much with this?- “Anything you want kitten, you can have it.” - He watched, curious as to why you blush deepened at his words. But the possibilityslowly dawned on him; you wanted some affection but was too shy to ask for it.- How adorable. He couldn’t help butsmile fondly at you, and you knew that heknew.- Without a word, he’d set his book down and rose off his chair, all whilelooking at you. You could swear you saw a hint of a smirk tugging at thecorners of his lips.- Your heart beat quickened as he walked over to you, placing a hand on eitherside of your chair and leaning down until his face was mere inches from yours.- “Would you like a kiss?” his words would cause any stray strands of hair toflutter in his wake.- Your voice wouldn’t work, you just nodded to which he smiled. - And in the next breath he brought his lips down to yours kissing you deeply,one hand coming away from the chair to rest under your jaw, tilting your headso he could kiss you harder. - His thumb traced gently across your cheek, causing you to hum at thecomforting contact.- Just as you were getting breathless, he pulled away, running a gloved thumbover your just kissed lower lip. - “Was that satisfactory?”- He chuckled as you nodded again, slightly more dazed than before.- “Don’t be shy, next time just ask.”- Yep, yep you would.

DS9 season 4 liveblog
[Season index: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 PS]
The Way of the Warrior
they changed the music! I liked the original arrangement better. I guess they decided that if they have to change the opening titles, better redo them from scratch?
I love how the Klingon general dramatically cuts his hand. It's like looking at the origins of an ancient ritual which real and very important meaning has long been forgotten. Tbh I thought the crew would do the same in the previous episode, but they went for the less dramatic blood tests :D
How was the Obsidian Order destroyed? The Dominion destroyed the fleet that the Order wasn't even supposed to have. What about all of their normal agents, infrastructure, gathered intelligence? 
"Not like you? Impossible" (note: as I prepare to publish this post, having just finished season 5, it seems this line was the last time they ever shared a flirty moment... rip garashir 1993-1995)
finally!
please stop reminding me about that awful movie thanks
Poor Worf is so awkward as usual
"And I find you offensive. Now hold up your arm, or I'll have the security do it for you"
"Captain Sisko bet me that you would thank him for the rescue before you started complaining." "I lost."
The Visitor
I have a hard time becoming invested in stories like this, when I know that the entire timeline would be undone by the end. The final scene did manage to make me tear up a bit, but overall I'm not impressed. At least it's not outright terrible like The Inner Light...
Hippocratic Oath
Wait, did Bashir get promoted between seasons?
I don't think that joke about Keiko was very good :\ But this is the second time Miles comes really close to confessing his love for Julian... what's up with that
seriously, why does the new theme have such a messy rhythm? it's as if the beat is out of sync with the melody
Odo is such an unusual security officer, of course there's conflict between him and Worf. I'm glad they're addressing this!
of course O'Brien does a transporter trick
oh come oooon O'Brien do you really need to be such a jerk this week
Sisko is nicer to Worf than I expected
the last scene between Bashir and O'Brien is very poignant
Indiscretion
The runabout scene with Kira and Dukat is unsettling because this rhetoric is too real...
The Worst Field Trip(tm)
Julian & Jadzia's Judging Corner: priceless
honestly the absolute last thing i expected was for Dukat's butt to get so much attention...
Ziyal looks much younger than someone who was 13yo six years ago
halfway through the episode I thought Ziyal would be that Cardassian girl from season 2, I mean there was a reason for that scene, right? right?
great episode
Rejoined
Oh, Dax got promoted too
Trill society sounds dumber and dumber with each episode
Kahn is so beautiful, charming and well-dressed. damn
how did my mom manage to walk into the room just as they kissed? is that a special parent talent
;_;
"your work produced the first artificially created wormhole in history" not counting, you know, THE wormhole
welp. a romance episode finally made me cry :(
Starship Down
Wait, is the alien played by Odo's actor? 
this is like a really boring version of "Disaster"...
Dax knows Bashir now better than a year ago? He hasn't changed much over the past year, the difference is rather between seasons 1-2 and later ones, plus they seemed pretty good friends in season 1 already, not like "she was avoiding him" -- in fact, I thought she was his only friend at the time. Their body language is cute as hell though.
Damn, I could hardly keep track of the plot in this one... or why the characters were saying what they were saying... how dull
you know what was the selling point of The Disaster? characters in unusual combinations and roles! I see none of this here...
Little Green Men
ew using someone else's tooth sharpener
omg Odo! :D
what, Klingons and Vulcans didn't have warp drive by 20th century?
The Sword of Kahless
what, this was the little boy we saw in TNG? Klingon children sure grow fast...
is this sword telepathically infected or something?
So, when Worf was acting OOC he wasn't under outside influence? okay... I enjoyed this episode, but under the assumption that Worf's dishonorable actions would be explained
Our Man Bashir
Bashir's taste is about as lame as Picard's...
"I think I joined the wrong intelligence service"
"This is more than I ever wanted to know about your fantasy life" same tbh... it's enough to remember these gross tropes exist somewhere out there, I don't need them in Star Trek reenacted by my faves
This just made me remember how much I dislike James Bond... We just had a cheesy 20th century pastiche two episodes ago, but at least I don't have anything against that genre. Not to judge what people do behind the holosuite's closed doors, but it's pretty offputting to see a 24 century man so enamored with this sexist fiction. And I have pretty much the same reaction to kisses with not-Kira and not-Dax as in the Mirror Universe episode, though to a lesser degree; that was pretty gross and exploitative. It's as if someone decided that the show wasn't straight enough after Rejoined and decided to compensate...
Also I think this was the first time ever that Bashir wasn't happy to see Garak. It feels strange and sad...
I expected Garak to spend all episode making fun of silly tropes, but the little he said was pretty weak. Though I liked the confrontation in the end and the way Bashir repeated Garak's speech.
And I don't think they even took advantage of the J. B. initials. Come on! :D
Homefront
"I prefer Klingon beliefs. Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth." I think I prefer Klingon beliefs too...
Why did Sisko put on TNG-type uniform?
Is that Leah Brahms?
Very relevant story about security vs civil rights, and it's very fitting for Odo to be here -- not just because of the plot. I really like the thematic unity between the changeling storyline and Odo's personal issues as a character.
Come on, it's so easy to deprive the entire planet of power?
Paradise Lost
This title is very ominous...
Cadet Shepard haha
I think I've heard this boast... "We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?" "Four." "You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?" "We would destroy the Cybermen with one Dalek!"
So, Earth and DS9 can communicate in real time? But in the previous episode, DS9 "received a recording of a high level diplomatic conference that took place on Earth a few days ago". I assumed the delay was due to the distance, but apparently not -- was the recording just classified before someone decided to send it to Sisko?
Wait, what President's speech? Did I miss something?
I liked the first part better. So, the changeling terrorist attack on the same week was just a coincidence? Everyone seemed to forget about that...
Crossfire
Odo/Kira scene is cute instead of irritating for once
"You could hear that?" "*points to lobes* Hello?"
"I have reason to believe someone is planning to assassinate First Minister Shakaar" and by someone you mean Winn?
Odo and Worf discussing security and order! 
are they replacing Odo/Kira/Bareil with Odo/Kira/Shakaar? How many nice but bland Bajoran dudes can be in love with her?
"Frankly, I don't care whether you and Major Kira end up living happily ever after or not. I just want to see the situation resolved" same
ok, I get it, falling in love makes you very upset, bad at your job, and is sad and frustrating to watch on tv screen. nothing new here
Return to Grace
"Is that what you kept track of during the occupation? No wonder you lost"
"It bothers him, you know. Very much. He talks about it sometimes" crocodile tears... literally
some men just won't take a hint...
wait, since it was previously mentioned that Cardassian flirting is bickering, does Dukat genuinely misinterpret Kira and think he's got a chance here??
so much for keeping Klingon secrets from the Cardassians...
There's something about this dynamic I really appreciate, but I can't yet articulate it. The way Kira confidently and unflinchingly deflects all the bullshit he sends her way? How she is allowed to be right in her unforgiving stance? That being civil and working together with someone and seeing their better side does not mean all their past (and present) misdeeds are forgotten and they're suddenly your friend? Maybe this is the infamous "grey morality" done right -- not the indiscriminate tolerance and moral relativism, but allowing the other side to plead their case without losing sight of what made them "the other side" in the first place.
Sons of Mogh
Jadzia has a great "I'm gonna fuck that" face
"Charged with murder?" Have these people never heard of assisted suicide?
"I don't give a damn about Klingon beliefs, rituals or custom" ohhh so when we talk about Bajoran religion we all have to be tolerant and culturally sensitive and understanding, but Klingons are not allowed to perform their own rituals among themselves?
Wait, did Kurn consent to this or?...
A second good Klingon episode in the season that is tainted by the heroes' inexplicable immoral decisions. Last time Mr. Honor attemped murder in the most dishonorable day possible; this time ritual assisted suicide was deemed outrageous but likely nonconsensual mindwipe is an acceptable solution. The former can be headcanoned away with the assumption that the sword had some curse on it. My headcanon for the latter: people other than Sisko wouldn't have objected to the ritual (Dax canonically, O'Brien was implied to), so they accepted Worf's other solution on the same grounds.
Bar Association
Haha, Odo brings up Rascals, one of TNG's most ridiculous security failures :D
"Have you have any idea how bored I used to get sitting in the Transporter room waiting for something to break down? Here, I've a half dozen new problems every day. This station needs me" Damn, I hoped he got to do something interesting that we just weren't shown...
Wait, O'Brien got into a physical fight with Worf of all people?!
"If this was Ferenginar, I'd have you all taken to the Spire of the Tower of Commerce, displayed to the crowds in the Great Marketplace below, then shoved off, one by one. Small children would bet on where you would land, and your spattered remains would be sold as feed mulch for gree-worms" lol remember Quark's little speech about Ferengi not being barbaric?
I really care about this messed up family...
Yaaaaay I'm so happy for Rom! :D
Ferenginar sounds no less oppressive than Cardassia. I want a revolution! You know what, now that the Dominion has kindly disposed of the Tal Shiar and the Obsidian Order, can it take the FCA next? I, for one, would welcome our new gelatinous overlords in this case...
(I'm not a fan of that Leeta/Bashir background noise, thank you very much.)
Accession
"Quark, did you hear? Chief O'Brien is having a baby!" "I thought your females carried your young."
people from the past should stay in the past... apparently only 50 years ago Bajor was a pretty oppressive place too... 
"Maybe you never realised this, Captain, but we would've tried to do whatever you asked of us when you were Emissary, no matter how difficult it seemed" well that's creepy
oh come on Kira, don't follow your religion so blindly...
O'Brien and Bashir is the real love story of this show istg
oh god they have an untouchable caste too
and of course the aliens can't tell which is the true Emissary because the word "first" isn't in their vocabulary lol
The aliens say "First. Later. They have no meaning to us." -- and in the same conversation use grammatical tense to indicate the order of events: "This IS the one that WAS injured." "He WAS injured" "We KEPT him with us" "The Sisko TAUGHT us" -- so they must have some perception of time
"We are of Bajor" oh? since when do you even know that word? did the poet teach you?
these two are so awkward that poor Keiko has to play matchmaker for her own husband :D bless her
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the direction of this story... Sisko was completely right to feel uncomfortable as a saint for a religion he doesn't believe in of planet he's not from, but it turned out he's so awesome that the Prophets chose him over the man from this culture who fits the descriptions in the sacred texts. Because only an enlightened human can lead the silly natives -- by following one of their own they'd go back to the dark ages! Yuck.
I've seen more than half of the show now... time flies fast.
Rules of Engagement
Courtroom episode!
I like the clever cinematography & editing
Hard Time
Poor O'Brien...
Well. This was really upsetting. I've been crying for several minutes now.
TNG repeatedly failed to show the recovery after a character's traumatic experience -- specifically, Picard's loss of time in The Inner Light and imprisonment and torture in Chain of Command. DS9 finally delivers an episode just about that -- even if the next week the status quo will be restored and I'll have the same complaint. 
What Miles goes through is completely horrific -- so much that I can't imagine how one can survive that. Even as a viewer I want to wipe this from my memory and pretend it didn't happen... For my own peace of mind I'm gonna pretend O'Brien's friend was a part of the simulation, and later he managed to erase it all from his mind somehow.
Now I kinda want a story where the characters become self-aware and O'Brien decides to get away from his sadistic writers (and Bashir helps him, sacrificing their friendship for O'Brien's well-being).
Shattered Mirror
Always nice to see Worf's hair loose
Well, at least Dax is angry at Sisko for the rape by deception...
Why is Kira still wearing that shit...
at this rate you won't have any characters left for the next episode
The Muse
will this adult woman leave Jake alone
poor Sisko
Odo: "Actually, I have some free time and I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk." Worf: "I would." Odo: "I meant Lwaxana."
"Well, just don't go do what I did. Look for someone to fix your broken heart then end up pregnant and on the run." "I don't think there's too much danger of that happening."
aah Odo makes her a blanket! (well, I guess he owed her a night of sleep on his lap...) this entire scene was so sweet
eww not the pedo woman again
why must I watch this
Odo and Lwaxana playing hide-and-seek!!! this is the best thing ever
oh my god this is such a fanfic trope
ew can I just fast-forward through this?
"If you don't mind, this is a very special moment for me"
"You know, for a minute there, I really believed you wanted to marry me" ahh poor Odo's face :( even when he literally declares he wants someone in his life, that person thinks he didn't mean it...
aaaaaah! the goodbye scene!!! Lwaxana is so good! this is so significant and beautiful, this is Lwaxana recognizing and preventing her biggest negative trait/habit (pursiung and harassing disinterested men) with one of her more rarely shown positive traits (compassion and emotional intelligence)
i don’t know what to say about an episode where the main story is 0/10 but the side story is 10/10
For the Cause
Finally, some info on replicator sharing policy! "The Federation only gave Bajor two CFI [industrial] replicators” 
"If she's really a Maquis, then she's no longer a Federation citizen" wait what?! I thought this was the entire reason Starfleet had to keep them in check -- because they were Federation outlaws! have they proclaimed their own state while I wasn't looking?
have they recast Ziyal? she looks different
I don't appreciate all this UST
"I would not become a terrorist. It would be dishonourable" "I wouldn't say that around Major Kira if I were you"
she... invites him... to a SAUNA??! ohhh my god whyyyyyy who wrote this
You go Kira!
okaaay I definitely missed something major about the Maquis formally leaving the Federation
well at least Cardassians enjoy their saunas fully dressed, that's a relief. the idea of lizard people lying around on heated rocks for relaxation is actually really cute, though
To be honest, I was dreading Garak's scenes in this episode. It seems that the writers ran out of Mysterious Past and Unclear Motivations to hint at, and stripped of that he's just... not particularly interesting. Plus, this episode confirmed my unpleasant impression that starting with this season, the producers/writers decided to forcibly drag Garak and Bashir away from each other and throw girls at them no matter how random and/or inappropriate it looks. At least they recast Ziyal so now she actually looks 19 instead of 13! (The problem is, in the previous episode she acted like a child, too, and you can't forget that she's a generation younger, so it's still pretty gross.)
Eddington's point about assimilation would have worked better without the rest of that inane speech. "Why is the Federation so obsessed with the Maquis? We've never harmed you" -- They're obsessed because you're a threat to their foreign relations, what's so hard to understand about that? "We've left the Federation" -- When? When?! Left Starfleet, sure, but the Federation?! Isn’t that the entire reason Starfleet is pursuing them -- because the Federation is responsible for handling its citizens and stopping them from committing crimes against its neighbor!?
To the Death
Iconians -- that's from "Contagion", right?
I like this guy...
"What is the point of doing battle if you cannot enjoy the fruits of victory?" "You mean sleep?" :D
I love how Whatshisname casually gives out the white, rolling his eyes and barely moving attention from his plate -- so different from the Jem'Hadar perspective we saw in Hippocratic Oath!
"I didn't know that was public knowledge." "You told Commander Dax." "Well, that explains it."
O'Brien's answer to the Jem'Hadar! "I am Chief Miles Edward O'Brien. I'm very much alive and I intend to stay that way"
The Quickening
bwahaha
whoa, a city? if it the first one we've seen in the Gamma Quadrant? lovely matte painting
of course they make everything worse. Because being Culturally Advanced and Civilized won't always instantly solve any problem, and hospices and euthanasia aren't evil.
"I was so arrogant I thought I could find one in a week." "Maybe it was arrogant to think that. But it's even more arrogant to think there isn't a cure just because you couldn't find it." Good one, Dax! We're really going back to the pivotal traits of his character in this episode. (Someone on the writing staff: "Hmm, we haven't mentioned Julian's arrogance and hero/savior complex for a couple of months...")
He swallows his pride and decides to stay! I'm proud
I did have a suspicion that the pregnancy would solve everything...
I'm really glad the local doctor wasn't villainized! When Bashir was setting up his clinic I was afraid that he'd raise the townspeople to destroy it or something.
Bashir has more luck with medical episodes than Crusher and Pulaski...
Body Parts
Jadzia's female solidarity!
Alright, how is this one episode going to fit in Keiko's pregnancy (and presumably childbirth?), Quark's condition, Brunt, and Garak? 
Federation technology is amazing...
Second time someone calls DS9 a "Cardassian monstrosity". That would make a good tumblr url... Wait, it's not even taken -- I'm very tempted...
of course Brunt bought him, why else would he be in the opening credits? :D this is so beautifully malicious
finally an episode that makes Quark look like a good person
Garak's face says "Killing you sounds like a great idea" :D :D
This is the most delightfully bizarre way to handle an actress' pregnancy :D
QUARK SHOPPING FOR MURDER-SUICIDE OPTIONS WITH GARAK =  AMAZING
(not to mention very relatable...)
This is Garak's best outing in the entire season, tbh :D
Don't forget to undo your contract with Garak...
aww
This was a blast! This is a huge step in Quark's character development: following Nog and Rom, now he decides to break his society's rules. I'm very happy. ...But what about Garak, though?
Broken Link
Poor Odo...
aw encouraging Quark
"I'm thinking of asking Julian to come live with us. Even things up a little" Is that the only reason? ;)
"Captain, I want to be judged. I'm the only changeling who's ever harmed another. I've spent most of my life bringing people to justice. Now that it's my turn, how can I run away?"
"Don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defence?" This is such a Cardassian line...
Why human and not Bajoran?
Oh Odo, just as he got comfortable with his identity as a shape-shifter... :/
General impressions:
Bashir in season 4, a summary: "Friendship ended with Garak, now Miles O'Brien is my best friend" Seriously, though... O'Brien and Bashir's relationship has become one of my favourite parts of the show. They got lots of good content this season: countless casual/humorous scenes, conflict in Hippocratic Oath, need for each other's company in Accession, talking down from suicide in Hard Time... And Garak was the most underwhelming part of the season for me, both himself and his relationship with Bashir -- or lack of it. I'm not even asking for shippy stuff, I know it's not going to be canon, but can't they just share screentime and enjoy each other's company, like they did before and Bashir does with O'Brien now?
And while the writers seem unsure what to do with Garak now, Dukat continues to be incredibly entertaining. Need a personification of Cardassian oppression? An unwanted ally the protagonist(s) would barely tolerate? A pompous prick to make fun of? A dangerously charismatic speaker -- or a windbag who thinks himself much cooler than he is? A relatively sympathetic opponent to provide "grey morality"? Well, here's all of that in one character! And my favourite thing is that despite being so immoral, he's not actually an enemy plot-wise (at least so far), so instead of fighting, defeating, and getting him out of the picture, the heroes just keep telling him how much he sucks. An interesting antagonist with a decent amount of screentime -- the dream. But all of that was about the character in general, and my favourite thing about his two episodes in this season is that he's self-aware of his status as a Complex Antagonist and completely overestimates the "complex and sympathetic" part, and (mis)casts himself as some kind of sexy byronic antihero whose deep and rich inner world will eventually win over the feisty heroine. Meanwhile, Kira is really not into villain/protagonist pairings and just wants the creepy guy responsible for genocide against her people to leave her alone. This was filmed twenty years ago but looks like a parody/deconstruction of currently popular ships like reylo or solavellan -- I find it really hilarious. (Maybe I’d feel more grossed out than amused if his behavior disturbed Kira more -- but she seems so gloriously unimpressed!)
I generally like Klingons and was glad to see Worf again, all of his episodes had something that stopped me from fully enjoying them.
It was my impression that Kira’s screetime got reduced because of Nana Visitor’s pregnancy -- and it was actually a good thing for the show! I feel bad saying this about one of the only two main female characters, but Kira is obviously the writers’ favorite, and got the most attention over the past seasons, so stepping back a bit let other characters shine more.
