I took an interest in The Bad Batch around the tailend of S2. It's not news to Tumblr that I almost slept on this show. And I cannot thank Caleb Dume enough for being the reason why I pressed the play button for this one. While I haven't been around for most of its active run, and I wish I had been, the last year has been among the best months of my life.

This show challenged my morals, and taught me lessons that I will forever take with me.

Tech taught me to embrace and take pride in who I am. I now think that I am not something that needs to be cured. I needed to be understood and accepted. He taught me that we deserved to be loved and be allowed to live the way we want to (as long as we are not causing harm to ourselves or to others).

Hunter taught me that at the end of the day, we're all still humans. We make mistakes. We fail. But we can learn from them, and we can strive to be better. And I should also take care of my hair bec I cannot accept that a man in a galactic war have better hair than me (Okay, did you honestly think I'm gonna be serious this entire essay?)

Crosshair taught me that at the end of the day, we really are still humans. Sometimes, we make choices that not everyone will understand or agree to. Sometimes, we don't even understand our own choices. But we can learn from them, and we can strive to be better. And that I should also go to therapy bec istg my hand shakes like hell I always need to rely on a pen stabilizer when doing my artworks.

Wrecker taught me that in this world where we can be anything, always choose to be kind. He is a great man who would always be there for everyone, and I hope that one day, I can be that person too. He is afraid of heights, but he climbs and go on high places anyway. Like him, I should also start conquering my fears. Dear Wrecker, I did try conquering my fear of heights last March 9 but I can't. I will try again.

Echo taught me to always fight for the greater good. Almost two years ago, me and a group of people campaigned for a great tomorrow. With pink flags and pink balloons, we worked on our little thing I like to call our rebellion. Sadly, we lost. At times, I am thinking of just giving up bec that's democracy and I cannot go against the people's decision, but characters like Echo and the rest of Rogue One taught me that nothing should ever stop me for fighting for the people's rights and that my love for my fellow citizens should always come first before hatred.

And lastly, Omega taught me to be curious, or more likely to not be ashamed for being curious. Learn about the world. Learn about lots of things. We never know when we need it. While I could say be good at strategy and win 30 grand on card games, nahhh, I'm not that smart.

I also learned to reevalutate myself as an artist. This show taught me integrity. I had ranted about this lately but these characters challenged me in terms of art. I knew that the creators aren't best at proper representation. While I could draw them as they are in the show, I choose to stand for what is right, and represent them as properly as my skills could. In the more technical side, I became good at drawing armors. And this little Actors AU Draw Series taught me to be responsible; I tried my very best to create and post them on time. This increased my productivity.

But enough about me.

There's something I realized two nights ago; we, the fandom, are Bad Batchers ourselves. We can consider ourselves a family, but not one of us is the same and we're all interesting, and capable in our own unique ways. We can have our own opinion and stand about something and still coexist. Like our favorite charactera, we embrace and celebrate our differences.

This show may end. No more Bad Batch Eves, no more cryptic tweets that cause us to hyperventilate, no more Bad Batch Wednesdays but it will live on, through us.

I know there will be a day where we decrease in number, one by one, little by little, but still, the show will live on through our actions, our opinions, our choices we make after May 1, 2024 because I know that all of us were changed in some ways by these characters and this show.

To the crew, your cryptic tweets caused me sleepless nights, but thank you so, so much. It is through your hardwork that we had this wonderful show. Thank you for making every second of the past year so worthwhile and enjoyable for me and for everyone.

However this show will end, whether happy or sad, I am glad it happened. However short my time was with them, I am happy I had been here. However short my time with everyone in the fandom was or if some of you leave one day, still, thank you so much for being part of my life; I am so happy I met all of you.

To Clone Force 99, thank you. I've never loved anything like this before. May the Force be with you.

hawthorne weekly dinner head canons

this has been sitting in my drafts for so long (although i only started posting earlier this week, i've had a few posts in my drafts for a while) you can't tell me they don't have weekly dinners. they're all literally so cute. like i can just imagine the four brothers, avery, libby, max, and even rebecca and thea sometimes spending some time all together. i might make a part two bc i honestly love the idea of all of them spending time together at dinner.

max and xander are always talking about the weird things that happened to them that week (once, they managed to get stuck with a lion in a cage at the zoo)

libby and grayson usually cook the food together. xander will help libby make the desserts.

once grayson starts dating someone (lyra probably, for some reason i'm still not convinced they'll end up together), obviously she joins these little dinners.

avery sometimes forces alisa to stop working and join too. she slowly starts to get over nash bc of them (she realises she's a girlboss and doesn't need a man in her life (i hc that she's bi))

grayson really enjoys the meals. he slowly starts to loosen up and smile more (this makes everyone really happy).

they once dared avery to make the food one night, but she's a horrible cook so they just decided to order take out.

jamie, when the plates and everything have been taken away from the table, gets on top of it and starts twerking.

the dinners always lead to everyone settling down in the living room and watching movies/tv shows (in two other posts, i mentioned that xander, grayson, libby, and avery love medical dramas so they probably all just watch that)

rebecca doesn't really like socializing with so many people at once so she brings a book with her. thea notices her all lonely and starts to talk to her bc she's such a good gf (istg they're so cute together).

avery and jameson always sit next to each other and are touching each other (sometimes jamie has an arm wrapped around her shoulder, other times he's holding her hand or places his hand on her thigh.

grayson canonically loves photography, and so these dinners give him the opportunity to show his work. he also takes pictures of them at dinner

sometimes he'll also show everyone some piano pieces he composed (this guy most definitely plays the piano)

these dinner usually end up becoming games of truth or dares, never have i ever, two truths and a lie etc. these games reveal so many things about everyone. so people get to know each other better

libby always has a slew of funny stories about baby avery. avery's always blushing from embarrassment.

sometimes, thea's just on her phone the whole time replying to comments and stuff.

xander likes to sit next to grayson cause he likes to talk about his gadgets and, bc gray doesn't really speak, he can talk freely (gray loves hearing him talk about things he enjoys). xander also has max sitting on his other side so that he can talk to her too, but usually she's busy talking to avery and stuff

during one of these family dinners, they learned that gray had an emo phase when he was 11.

they also learned that avery used to be a hopeless romantic thanks to max and libby (the four brothers, thea, rebecca, and alisa were all shocked cause she doesn't seem like she would be one but then they realized it made sense)

during a game of truth or dare, jameson managed to bang his head so hard on the table he passed out (idk what the dare was)

libby tends to sit across grayson and they start talking about cooking and stuff.

grayson once forgot about the dinner but really wanted to attend. he couldn't find a shirt he liked though and he was so tired that he just showed up shirtless (everyone had no words)

sometimes, avery or one of the brothers will post pics of their dinners and fans always think it's adorable.

jamie and avery will talk about the trips they took together

nash loves to talk about taylor swift's easter eggs/cryptic posts, etc. max who's also a hard core swiftie joins in. the rest of the table, at some point, start to like talking about these easter eggs too, and it becomes a huge thing (i hc that all of them were already swifties prior to these dinners. some less addicted to her music than others though)

they all like reading (except for thea, she doesn't get the point of it) so they start talking about thebooks they like or are currently reading.

at one of these family dinners, its revealed that nash reads smut (people already knew max and xander read smut already cause they aren't ashamed to talk about the weird shit they read)

max is always threatening avery to reveal all of her dirty secrets (they've been friends since childhood, of course max knows things about avery that no one else does)

at first, libby was kinda shy to talk at the table bc she felt like people didn't really care about what she had to say (fuck you drake, it's all cause of him) so nash started comforting her and encouraging her to talk. grayson overheard the conversation and started a conversation with her to encourage her. he told her that she was part of the family whether she wanted to or not, and people wanted to talk to her (she teared up).

sometimes, when libby gets anxious about speaking, nash will put his hand on her thigh and hype her up.

at first, grayson was so happy to have these dinners and be surrounded with people that love him that he would start to tear up in bed at night. over time, he started to accept that these people would always be in his life and stopped crying at night.

if anyone has requests, feel free to leave them! hope you guys like these <3. also here's a little seating plan i made for fun :) when lyra joins someday, she sits between gray and rebecca.

[lily-alphonse]

Since you've mentioned it -- what's your take on Halex? They somehow simultaneously make sense and don't make sense to me. Maybe this is what makes them a good ship. I was wondering what are your ideas about their dynamics? :)

Y'all are enabling the hell out of me istg lmao

Pretty sure this is in reference to this post where I mention having a Halex agenda. I have posted about them before but it was a few months ago.

Okay so picture this. Haley has a bit of a reputation as dumb and mean.

She is actually smart, but refuses to try to understand things that she sees as irrelevant to her or boring. So she won't pay attention in math class but she will be able to estimate the total cost of a dress with tax minus the sale discount all in her head.

She is a genius at Instagram, getting a decent following pretty quickly.

She is good at reading people, and has no patience for anyone who isn't straight to the point or clear in their intentions. Which is part of why she likes Alex so much, because he's got about as much depth to him as a kiddie pool, and needs protecting.

She also understands how he sees the world more simply because she kind of has a foot in that world too with how "dumb" she is about certain things (but again, just not caring to put the effort in to learn).

Alex is a sweet himbo and has major fucking heart-eyes for his girl. (This version of him has already had his feminist awakening where he unlearns the misogyny instilled in him by his upbringing)

He doesn't talk much because he's used to people seeing him differently when they realize he's got nothing interesting to say. He's also used to being shamed for asking questions, especially with the history of child abuse. He is extremely polite because of that too. Everyone is Sir or Ma'am.

But you know who he does talk to? Haley. Because they have enough trust and openness that he knows she will tell him if he is boring her. But, she never does because she has an incredible soft spot for him. She will listen to him talk about gridball all day just to watch his lips move, his cheeks dimple when he smiles.

His girl is high maintenance and he is a PROUD maintenance man. He opens every door, carries every bag, takes pictures of her on the beach for hours for her Instagram.

I like to picture them as having a major size difference, like Alex is 6'1 and Haley is 5'2. But Haley always wears huge heels to appear average height and she absolutely commands a room with her big attitude and her even bigger man behind her teehee. She calls him baby and he calls her baby, my girl, or Sunflower (thanks to @wrightingdungeon for that one)

PLL: OS (Summer School) Finale Live Notes.

*Spoilers for the entirety of PLL Summer School

Okay friends, we've come to end of the season! I took notes throughout the episode, so here they are, plus some post-episode thoughts.

I knew Kelly wouldn't be dead! Faran had no reason to arrive so quickly if she wasn't going to be able to save her.

Okay, not important, but Kelly's hair always looks so good when they let it be wavy, I hope she'll get that style more in season 3 (assuming there is one), which would also set her apart from Karen.

Y'all, istg if the Ravenswood namedrop means they're taking an actual supernatural angle with this, I will be the one rioting.

"They just kinda showed up outta nowhere. I mean, doesn't that Christian guy make horror masks?" hkhjsdhfjk Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point. Jk, jk, I promise I do not actually hate Jen or think she's the worst person in the show, I just really hate the love triangle trope and the way this storyline has been handled and this made me laugh, and while this feels like a big deflection, yet again (like... as did you?), she seriously does have a point, someone SHOULD be bringing up the masks.

I actually love the bickering when people start accusing each other’s SOs. I do like that the girls are supportive of each other, but they need conflict, too. Also interesting to see what comes out when people are getting defensive. 

Aaaaand there's another Scream reference. Tabby: Safety in numbers! but then Tabby, approximately 2 seconds later: Let's go individually investigate our suspicious love interests and then regroup! TABBY YOU ARE A HORROR NERD, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!

If Johnny is not involved, he really is the CHILLEST dude on the planet.

Confirmation that the Bloody Rose murders were filmed! That's so validating. At this point in the episode, I'm leaning towards Wes and not Christian in this aspect. They're (the girls) too worried about Johnny and Christian, which wouldn't make either of them a major twist, and they have been literally 0% worried about Wes (which I still maintain makes absolutely no sense, considering what Tabby and Christian found at his place. & the main reason he ever dropped ever so slightly on my suspect list [he was still very, very up there] was how ridiculously HUGE of a red flag that should have been that it felt like it could be a set up, but then Tabby didn't get suspicious [which was also my biggest red flag with Christian, but now she is suspicious of him] so...)

I thought it would be a stabbing and not her smashing him on the head (I also thought it might be a nightmare), but I WAS right about my “rule of threes” and my prediction that Johnny was going to fail to talk down Imogen, after successfully doing so twice before.

I'm not convinced he's actually an antagonist because if he were, why the fuck would he hide bodies at the place he works, like that is a ridiculously bad move, but also if this kills him & he’s not bad, that’s gonna be so fucked & also Imogen could definitely go to jail. So. Idk what to believe yet. 

Y’ALL, I swear to god these are my as I am watching notes & I absolutely did not realize how hilarious me calling Johnny “the CHILLEST dude on the planet,” was going to end up being. I know this scene is serious, but I just lost it, knowing how it related to my notes.

Okay, on a more serious note. Survivability is not looking great for Johnny. Also, Imogen, word of advice- when you find bodies in the freezer, LEAVE and call the police, don’t go confront the guy you believe murdered them!!! 

Okay, pause. Tabby just fell down the stairs at Christian’s (knew that was coming, obviously) after finding a Davie mask (not surprised), but since we have half an hour left in the episode, I’m guessing this means that the frame job I thought was happening IS happening and it’s happening to Christian (Wes hired Christian specifically to frame him?) and Johnny, meaning Wes is likely the mastermind. Also, this makes me VERY suspicious of Jen. She pushed the girls towards Johnny and Christian and now there’s the perfect evidence to turn Imogen and Tabby against them?

Right. So I did not have on my bingo card that Rose Waters would actually get her face carved off, that was honestly more brutal than I was expecting. 

The body on the altar is Pastor Malachi, which I’m a little disappointed about (in myself), but I did say he was the only one of the other victims that I could make any argument for being there, but I really thought it was going to be somebody important to Rose.

Okay, WELL, yes on Mrs. Langsberry and yes on Wes, but I did NOT expect him to take that mask off during the livestream. I really thought he was going to try to pin everything on someone else. I also don’t believe for a second he intends to let Tabby live, no matter what she says (though I do believe he would let her “seem” to live for the sake of the film, then kill her after). 

Did Christian not just say they should go to the screening room because there are no doors? But then immediately direct them out of some exit doors? I think this is just silly writing & not actually nefarious, but rofl.

“Mickey is a sick fuck who wants to get caught!" It really is Scream 2! It really is! Except Tabby didn't have a "wavering because I'm not sure if I can trust my boyfriend and maybe I shouldn't untie him," equivalent moment, really.

I know they all did self defense, but that last guy Tabby took out looked like a video game takedown, lol. I would have probably believed it more with Faran, but I get it.

Well, at least Faran got to punch Bloody Rose.

I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF. Tabby and Christian have that whole convo about their favorite horror movie deaths and she brings up the pitchfork, and at the time I even thought, “I wonder if someone is gonna get stabbed with a pitchfork,” and then I chose not to bother to type that up and I cannot believe I did not type that up! Of all the useless crap I typed up and that's the thing I didn't bother to ever post about? I'm disappointed in myself.

Y’all, maybe one of you should stay with Tabby, like maybe you don’t need 4 of you to go into the cabin to check the Wes situation. 

I do love the “they always come back” Scream reference with Wes’s death here.

Okay, but... why did he kidnap Dr. Sullivan? And why was Pastor Malachi on the altar? And we're not gonna talk about the tests? Like I get they were for the movie, but we're just not even gonna mention them? Because if Wes is using that footage for his film, then isn't it kind of a problem that they all survived because that very much does not make Tabby the typical sole final girl.

Uuuuummmm…. Like assuming we’ve had all the important reveals and not considering what they might write next season, Imogen really fucked up the Johnny situation, turns out that really was the chillest dude on the planet.

Whoa. Wait. After all that, we’re just getting it thrown at us that Dr. Sullivan is actually a total asshole?? It's wild that she was actually risking her license just to write a book and she hates all of them.

I mean, Archie not actually being dead is the least surprising thing ever. Obviously he was not actually dead.

So.... are the girls wearing the girls masks supposed to be the movie Tabby is imagining? Or are we actually supposed to be concerned about this?

Wow, okay, lots to digest.

Immediate Post-Finale Thoughts

I'm so tired and I stayed up super late to watch this, so I will probably do a "now I've had some time to think about it," post finale post later, but this will have to do for now.

Overall, I thought this was a fun finale! Personally I like this reveal much better than the Principal Clanton one.

However, there are so many loose threads, unresolved storylines, and randomly missing characters, so I'm gonna go over a few of those.

Ash just basically stopped existing. They say his name a couple of times, but him just not being in the finale at all felt weird.

Same goes for Greg, who I normally wouldn't miss, except they had all the Faran/Greg stuff last episode. I'm not sure why they cut most of that, but then left what they did in 2x07. It feels like maybe they felt they had to keep some of it because they wanted to show Faran missing Kelly's phone call, but they couldn't explain why Faran and Greg were out together if they didn't have their hookup earlier in the episode, but... I think it would have been cleaner to just cut all of that and just show Faran seeing the missed call without any explanation of why she missed it. I don't know. I think this was a pretty messy way to handle it.

-longest sigh in the world- you're telling me that the Shawn/Noa/Jen love triangle literally had absolutely nothing to do with anything and we spent that much time on it????? This kills me. I gave the writers too much of the benefit of the doubt on this one. I really, really thought they wouldn't do all of that and literally not have any of it matter. Is this really what they wrote? This isn't the edit? Blegh. This was such a waste of time of a plot point. Why did they bother to have Shawn in this plot line at all? You're telling me not only did I sit through 2 of my least favorite tropes (love triangle and infidelity) and you could have just written Shawn out between seasons and had the conflict be that Noa is enamored with Jen, but one (or more) of the girls don't trust her because she showed up out of nowhere (like she accuses Christian and Johnny of doing) and keeps lying about things? But instead they did this? And for what? So Noa can call someone to hot wire a car? Because we didn't even get any drama out of it (aside from Noa smashing Shawn's car and the little bit of bickering in this episode) because the girls were immediately supportive and Shawn's reaction was relegated to some angry weightlifting. What the fuck? This was a huge miss, imo.

So... It seems like a lot of Imogen's stuff was only there to set up her attacking Johnny. Like the whole babysitting Estelle sequence never comes back around (but this is the first time Johnny sees her panicking with a knife), and the stuff with her dad and Rebecca didn't matter, except for the fact that Johnny also talks her down when she has a knife. Hm.

So? How long were those bodies in the freezer and what was the point of putting them there if Wes wanted to get caught anyway? Because surely Johnny would notice if they'd been there a long time, but also they weren't trying to frame him (poor dude got hit on the head with a wrench by his girlfriend and then locked in a freezer with 3 dead bodies), so?

I wish we'd gotten a little more explanation of Wes's plan. I still don't really get why he kidnapped Dr. Sullivan and tied her up in the shack. Where was that going?

Am I just super sleep deprived, or did all this just not have any connection to the Waters family lore, aside from Wes killing Rose (I think she's dead) and appropriating the Waters family story for the film? Also, how does his reveal work, since he's just suddenly not in character? Like what the hell is Wes's film?

Who/what did the snake in Imogen's poster represent? WAS it Dr. Sullivan and Wes knew about the book? I can't think of why it would be there, otherwise. This stuff feels quite messy to me.

I have a hard time believing Mrs. Beasley is just not going to be an abusive piece of crap any longer, but it's nice to see Kelly with the other girls.

How did SpookySpaghetti get all the girl's new phone numbers? That was not made clear.

Do we think there was someone else we know who was involved (I mean that they've actually planned for, not that they will retcon in later) that didn't get caught?

So the three figures in the poster are Wes as Archie, Mrs. Langsberry as Rose, and Chip? as the skeleton? I assume?

I do feel pleased that I called the combo of "someone making a movie and a mother avenging her dead child," but I'm a little disappointed a love interest didn't get revealed as evil, and also I thought the "mother" would be a bit more unhinged than Mrs. Langsberry ended up being. Like obviously she is committing a bunch of murders at Wes' direction, so not a shining example of rational thinking, and she's in denial about Chip, but I thought the "mother" was going to be fully delusional, tbh.

Am I still a little sad that they didn't find a way to shoehorn in a musical moment for Antonio? Yeah, a little, but he's alive so there's always possibly next season. (To be clear, I do not want them to do a musical episode, like please no, I just was hoping they do karaoke at some point this season or something, though I had no expectation of that fitting into the finale).

Season 3 renewal announcement soon?

Okay, I'm sure there's more, but I'm super exhausted and I need time to mentally digest this.

As usual, if you have any thoughts/feelings you want to share, feel free to shoot me an ask!

[boxenstopp]

it's 1 am, anyway time for walkthrough of my entire rewatch of czech it out. as my brain slowly melts into pieces. get ready for a long-as-shit post.

EPISODE 1!!!!!

can i say. first of all. wtf are these graphics. what were they thinking and why does it kind of work with the atmosphere.

second of all. introduction of the coffee. does carzzy like coffee? is that his coffee? who made the coffee? all differs depending on the video.

introduction of the smiley "i agree to anything carzzy says" humanoid. he has that rookie vibe here like he's very unsure of himself but oh boy marek, carzzy is not a stable anchor.

also, carzzy calling humanoid "marek brazda" every chance he gets, istg. he 100% says it just because he loves how it sounds. brazzzzda.

cut to carzzy calling him unskilled and we get the classic "i've been insulted by carzzy" face. i love that he has these patented modes. so far we've had "carzzy loml you can never do anything wrong (meant ironically)" and "carzzy loml 🥺🥺 spare me anything sir i haven't but a penny" (it has been 40 seconds)

face is exemplified when carzzy goes out of his way to place his cup on (what i assume is) humanoid's desk, cause of course he does.

humanoid gets asked a question about mid and so carzzy is RESPECTFUL and lets humanoid speak.

just leaving this here. btw: "marek brazda" counter: II

i realize at this point there are so many things to point out but i'm too lazy to screencap them. first of all, carzzy complaining about pantheon/taliyah and humanoid who was not listening at all just going "nice :)" and carzzy also needs a moment to register and then goes. "no." and then they start arguing about something with approx. 0 heart and 2 braincells of what they're arguing about. and then carzzy does the thing where he lets humanoid get the last word (thing he does all the fucking time) and just hums like a girl cause SHE IS down bad. (btw me calling carzzy a girl is not an insult it's an um actually? 🏳️‍🌈🤓 moment.)

G2 TIME!!

one of the most important things about carzzynoid is their nonchalant complete factually incorrect statements. can guarantee you they think it's the funniest shit ever, however, it's only funny if no one laughs. they have these voices where you can tell they're trying to make themselves sounds as uncaring as possible. anyway yeah guys, g2 is 10th, 9th place team for sure.

CAN I SAY. carzzy's heterochromia is insane in these early videos. every close-up on his face i go woawwww!! idk if it's more noticeable or if i'm just going insane. anyway humanoid goes on to end the segment with "pojďme se na to společně podívat!" (according to software that seems about correct to me) meaning "let's take a look at it together" otherwise LITERALLY meaning "check it out." or something pretty close. as an EXTREME linguistics nerd and general languages lover i think hearing them speak czech makes me explode about 10 times anyway so. idk if that's a correct analysis :)

THIS carzzy smirk. i could write a paragraph here honestly. anyway humanoid asks a question and carzzy does not answer because why would he.

EYES.

then carzzy goes on a rant about how amazing their coach is only for his genius mordekaiser pick to be wasted on MAREK BRAZDA (counter: III)

insulted marek left, "i'm not blaming anyone" marek right. (carzzy was totally blaming you dude. you're both so horrible.)

carzzy checks in on humanoid for that one, lmao. makes sure that he understands, yep.

NEXT DYNAMIC UP!! the fuckin sad lions/chad lions thing. carzzy thinks they are "sad lions" cause they lost both games.

carzzy calls humanoid a czech, a clearly very embarrassing insult. also he hesitated a bit which meant he was SCRAMBLING for a different insult but really. czech? that's the best he could come up with. pussy.

anyway he's bullied marek into participating in the content and so he actually has to give his thoughts and he thinks he's a bad chad bitch who actually LET them win. also "this guy" counter: I. because humanoid hates calling carzzy anything actually. carzzy is just a pest to him and he needs to express that to carzzy face. obviously.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION!! i love how their dynamic is straight up insult each other until one person goes: actually you're the best i love you so much you're so hot so talented i agree with everything you say i'm a shit stain you're a saint i'll do anytthing-

VIDEO END

final thoughts: ough it's 2:30 am now but it was worth it honestly feels fucking amazing to type all this out imma go to sleep hopefully nobody reads this because really you're wasting your time. if you did <3 thanks.

HE SAID IT! "Good enough for WHAT?"

Oh you're cool I like you a lot

GOOD SONG BUT I STILL HATE YOU TWO

B L I T Z

Hey who the fuck put me into Helluva Boss

ANOTHER SONG, AND IF IT'S ABOUT WHAT I THINK IT'S GONNA BE I WILL BE SOOOO HAPPY

I would comment on what Mammon said but I need to make the image or else it won't work

"It's about you" "w h a t"

HE CALLED MAMON A CUCK, YOU GO FIZZ DO WHAT MANY OF US COULDN'T DO

Mamon clapping at the performance even tho he knows it's about him is like the same AND opposite vibe of Bruno vibing to his family talking shit about him and Idk how to describe it

Okay but everyone thought it was like a random song he thought it was catchy and when he said Mamon's name everyone just started to process the lyrics He called him out of his abuse and everyone will realize how much he sucks now, at least a lot of them will

THE KIDDDDDDDD

God I was so worried that they were going to do THAT gag, i'm glad it was just Mamon becoming a weird spider

Damn Ozzie that's hot (Pun intended)

THEY ADDMITTED IT, THEY'RE FREE, THEY'RE GDSHADBHAKJLCNDVJAKL I'm those fans screaming in the background that's me, that's us all

"You're going to regret revealing that Ozz" Oh shit these three WILL come back won't they?

Love your love for post-canon Armand/Daniel, I’m the same 🫣 In part because I love reading different interpretations of what their relationship is like in the present, what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. It seems like people agree on most things but I love how certain things simply come down to personal interpretation. And look, I know that Anne should’ve included WAY more armandaniel content in the last trilogy but I appreciate the fact that she had a plan in mind for them, or at least a theme: them wanting to spend as much time alone together as possible post-reunion, which is a thing every time their names are mentioned together (them sneaking out in the rain, them wanting to go back to Trinity Gate). They’re in their “run away with me/anytime you want” era and I really love that for them 🫀

I’m so into post-canon Armand and Daniel and I'm so glad you are too! Anne didn’t need to tell me they’d get back together for me to believe they would—I firmly believe they always will, they’re soulmates and two sides of the same weird coin, plus Daniel is Armand’s only fledgling. They have a bond in love and bond in blood. And they’ve always been so absolutely feral for each other. I just can’t imagine them staying apart for long without extenuating circumstances. I believe they’re that couple who will have their periods of being apart (either because they’re doing different things or because they had a fight, lol) but they’ll always come back together. They’re magnetic and they love each other so much.

But I am glad Anne did give us little mentions that they were in fact doing things together and, correct me if I’m wrong, as far as we know Daniel and Armand are living together when the series ends. Which is good enough for me. Of course I would have loved Daniel to get more screen time. I mean aliens are involved! Let the guy talk about that! I want his perspective on that stuff! Or just to be included in the ending because he is such a vital character. He’s the reason the series exists! He’s the one who started it all. I mean, come on! ISTG Anne.

💖💖 THEIR RUN AWAY WITH ME ERA 💖💖 Listen anon, I love that so much I want it on a throw pillow or a t-shirt! 😭😭😭 I’m going to refer to it as that from now on, it’s perfect, no notes. 

I love that you’ve pointed out how they seem to want to be alone together when they are mentioned in the last trilogy. I hadn’t really thought of it that way and now that’s my happy thought. Because it does seem in line with my prevailing in-universe theory for why we don’t get more of them together and that’s because they want their privacy. 

We know Daniel never wanted fame. He published Interview with the Vampire under a pseudonym. I can imagine he was vaguely uncomfortable with his story being out in the world once he realized people he knew might find it. (Which is a funny thought given how eagerly he devoured Armand’s story in TVL but like.. I don’t blame him there.) 

But also Armand and Daniel have been through a lot. Armand tried to end his life and has had to spend time recovering and then got saddled with two kids because Marius thought it would tether him to the world. Daniel thought Armand had died and he’d lost him and went mad for a while. Like they’ve been through some shit. I can absolutely see them deciding that they want some space and for their story to be kept off the published pages of Lestat’s books as much as possible and Lestat acquiescing because he clearly does love Armand. 

If they want some peace and their time together left out of the books, if they want to disappear together or run off alone for long periods, or even just sneak off to Paris when they’re at Court, or hole up alone in Trinity Gate with a “No Vacancy” sign on the door, frankly that’s beautiful and they deserve it. I love that for them.

Thank you so much for the ask! 💖💖 I’ve had a horrible week and this has greatly improved my night. I hope I wasn’t too rambly, my brain is very fried.

Helloooo :>

I saw your B&B dating headcanons and I was wondering if you could do hc’s for B&B Donnie? You totally don’t have to if you don’t want to though ❤️

Thank youuu!

Omgggg yesss sorry I have been meaning to post a lot of hcs but I am too eepy

taging some people who might want to see this: @hypocriticaltypwriter @sweaterrat @doodle88

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good

-Don would literally do ANYTHING for you

-New tire? Don't worry about it. Something fixed? Already on top of it. Need emergency cuddles? On his way.

-He's also exactly 6" 1' so that has some ups and downs. If you're taller, he'd still INSIST on big big spoon.

-Once you break his icy exterior, he will 100% committed to you!

-He'll give you lots of gifts and things; mostly adhering to your needs, but the thought is still there

-He'll even cook for you! He may not be very good at it, but he'll try. Just for you.

-He'll try and participate in any and all sports you seemed intrested in. He'll take time to learn and game would want to play

-If you have something you want to learn, he'll find out EVERYTHING about it and explain it to you in a way that you can understand

-This dude is SUPER trustworthy; he values nothing higher then his family, and you're apart of that. He'll protect you at any cost, including his own life

-Although he's not one for a lot of physical attention, he'll definitely ignore his own needs for yours. If you need hugs and kisses he'll be right there!

-He'll do a lot of stuff for you too! Like, take you out on dates under the cover of darkness, he'll take you out to nice, romantic places and constantly flood you with praise and appreciation! Because, in all honesty, you deserve it💖

The Bad

-Donnie is a really busy dude, so he might not have a lot of time for you :(

-He's really blunt and might not phrase things so well. (He sucks at English too-)

-Between being the group's ONLY tech support, he's also stuck being a babysitter to Raph and Mikey. So there's a lot of stress.

-More prone to act out or yell at you. He'll apologize and say he was wrong but he still yelled and it still kinda hurt.

-Bro blames himself for everything (he gets it from leo istg) and is always emotionally a mess.

-He also really isn't the empathetic type, who when it comes down to a moral or emotional problem; he'll choose the most logical option

-Donnie doesn't get out much (i don't know why he would ever need too) so he's somewhat for a hermit. So if you like taking long walks and stuff like that, he's gonna ask "Can we do that virtually?"

-also, HE CANNOT SOCIALIZE. Like, he just can't. He doesn't know to to speak, and just talking to people has him as a nervous wreck. That's also why he doesn't have a lot of friends

-He'll definitely try and talk to you ONLY online, he hates how he looks and would actually die if you asked to video call or look at a picture of him

-Again, not a lot of time, so he'll try and make it up to you with some "appreciation time."

The Ugly

-Donnie will, unfortunately, cyberstalk you. You're his new hyperfixation! He needs to find everything out about you! (Note; he doesn't entirely realize how creepy that actually is-)

-He'll track your IP address if you ask/post something anonymously

-He'll always try and watch you somehow, either via your internet browser or your camera, he'll always be watching (it's out of love tho!!)

-He'll also ask to get a lot of pictures of you, even if you don't want too. He'll make a huge collage of just pictures of you and have it hanging in his lab.

-Don will gaslight and manipulate you, but he doesn't realize he's doing it until someone points it out. He'll say things like "If you love me, you'll do this." and "You wouldn't do that to me, that'll break my heart!"

[kirarinlovesidols]

Yes I did say i wouldn't write again and i stand by that but i'm brainrotting and i promise you this will truly be the last time(copium).

Basically this is just some headcannons of how normal mornings in their domestic life with you is like! But as parents ofc. I added some extra characters since we got some more ppl and also cause i realized I forgot Scaramouche in my last post 💀

As always terribly fucking sorry for my bad and cringy writing or any bad grammar or OOC.

Afab reader btw and i might use terms like "mother, mom" etc but no pronouns defined.

Also this was supposed to be mornings but it turned into general headcanons too and tbh never expect me to be consistent, i have ADHD.

Mornings with genshin men as fathers, part 1.

Mondstadt.

Diluc

‌For starters he barely even SLEEPS.

‌More often than not he's busy taking care of the tavern, inside his office or doing his darknight hero business.

‌You has a lengthy conversation with him about it so nowadays he's more likely to value his life and won't fight carelessly, he has children to raise and a partner after all.

‌Anyways it's hard for him to sleep more than 4 maybe 3 hours and can't rlly spend much time with you or your children but istg he's trying.

‌In some rare occasions you'll wake up to his sleeping face. Scarlet hair delicately framing his face, freed of it's usual ponytail. Truly an ethereal sight.

‌Is also the type to wake up his kids by sitting on their bed, patting their head and softly calling their names. Saying it's already morning and that Adelinde made pancakes.

‌You people have no idea how much Diluc appreciates the period of life where his kids are still small, cute and need him.

‌If asked he will deny it but the way he has your daughter cradled in his arms, head resting against his shoulder, napping after eating gives him out.

‌You just watch the sweet scene, cradling your son as he got sleepy right after eating his fill like his sister.

Kaeya

‌Has the weirdest fucking habit of sleeping on the couch cause he's either too tired or too lazy to go to bed so it's very common to wake up to an empty bed, walk to the living room and seeing your husband laying there looking like a dead man.

‌You already have got into fights with him for it and he still doesn't fix it.

‌You worry about his back and his neck since this seriously causes pain to spread all over his body.

‌Kaeya doesn't complain about it though, he's sorry for worrying you, he swears. However the changing point was him waking up to his daughter giving him her pillow, trying to move his head with her little hands in a way that wouldn't wake him up(she obviously failed).

‌He considers himself a lame dad now for making his baby worry about him so he actually sleeps on your bed now.

‌Is also usually in charge of breakfast! The cavalry captain refuses to let you do any work when he's home. It's his way of letting you rest and thanking you for all you do.

‌ Turns chores into fun little games! He wants your daughter to learn how important house keeping skills are for the future. Even if it does hurt him to imagine her leaving it's his duty as a parent to teach her.

Albedo

‌Another bitch who barely sleeps. Either spends the entire night in his lab doing experiments or he's revising Sucrose and Timaeus's projects.

‌You try your hardest to stay up and wait for him to come to bed but god. Being a mother can be really tiring sometimes, so more often than not you're sleeping away by the time he ACTUALLY enters the room.

‌As weird as it sounds your son is usually the one who has to remind Albedo to sleep, even if he doesn't need it much or at all.

‌The boy is quiet and in the rare moments he feels like speaking his tone is very soft and easy to miss if you don't pay attention. His steps are just as silent.

‌The alchemist is so absorbed in his job that he fails to realize the little presence in his lab.

Small hands make their way to the hem of his pants and perform gentle tugs. Albedo only sighed, he already knew who it was.

"Shouldn't you be asleep, Ruby?"

He turned around only to see bright eyes staring back at his own. His son's eyes reminded him so much of you, he thought it was adorable.

"Sleep."

That was all the little boy said. And it was just enough for his father to understand it's meaning.

"Alright, alright. Sorry for worrying you and mommy."

A smile made way to his lips as the man picked his baby up. Immediately he could feel the toddler's head resting on his shoulder, a sign of trust and comfort.

"But let's go to bed ok? being up late isn't good for you."

‌Albedo is the master of making food look like art, this man doesn't need to be extra but he wants to be.

‌When he makes pancakes he likes to craft intricate shapes. You seriously feel bad for eating something so pretty.

Bennet

‌Wakes up early to make breakfast!!

‌With Benny it's a bit of a hit or miss situation cause of his bad luck. Either you wake up to the smell of burnt eggs(in worse cases your entire fucking kitchen) or slightly charred but still delicious toast.

‌Likes to keep himself active and has a morning workout routine. He won't force or even ask you or your daughter to join but you do anyway, his smile when you two choose to spend time with him is seriously priceless.

‌He still has a hard time believing he has a partner and a kid who love him for who he is, bad luck and everything so he becomes emotional really easily and kinda clingy too.

‌Your baby doesn't mind it, in fact she loves it! It's very common to see them cuddling during nap time.

Venti

‌He might drink less often now that he's a father but it doesn't mean that you don't have to deal with drunk clingy Venti coming home at the asscrack of dawn after an entire night of partying away at Dawn winery every now and then.

‌You don't particularly mind since he does need some space too. He settled down with you(which was a fucking miracle) cause he loves you and your son to death, never doubt that. However...the bard may feel suffocated sometimes.

‌Usually wakes up at either 7Am or 1pm there's no in between.

‌If your baby takes interest in music you can bet your husband is going to flex his bard™ skills.

‌So many duets, you're so proud.

Razor

‌Wakes up with the sun, can't sleep more even if he wanted to. After years of following his pack's routine, it's ingrained on him.

‌Doesn't wake you or the kids up though, his protective nature makes him want all of you to sleep as long as you can.

‌So you usually wake up with the smell of breakfast or the twins literally jumping on your bed so you'll get up.

‌Takes the boys with him during morning patrols around your house's area. His habit of checking to see if anyone got lost or hurt in the woods never actually changed.

‌Andrius is not amused to have kids trying to climb him or pulling his fur but doesn't mind it, they're his grandkids anyway.

bts x game of thrones

my personal headcanon (idek if i'm using that word right) for how bts would think of game of thrones. i think none of them watched it so this is more within the context of "would/if they watch it in the future". disclaimer: my opinion, but this is so open for discussion! a quick little post in honor of the house of the dragon finale!

would they watch game of thrones?

namjoon: yes

seokjin: yes

yoongi: yes

hobi: yes

jimin: no

taehyung: no

jungkook: ONLY if his friend/partner loved the show and wanted to show it to him and watch it with him. otherwise no.

would they also watch hotd:

namjoon: yes

seokjin: maybe once s1 is over

yoongi: no

hobi: no

jungkook: maybe once s1 is over

who would their favorite got characters be:

namjoon: tyrion + jon

seokjin: tormund + tyrion

yoongi: tyrion + jamie

hobi: daenerys + jon 

jungkook: arya + daenerys (maybe jon too!)

taehyung & jimin (if they watched): sansa + daenerys

bts bias of different got/hotd characters

jon snow: jin + hobi

robb stark: namjoon

sansa stark: jimin

arya stark: jungkook

daenerys: jungkook + yoongi

tyrion: jin + namjoon

cersei: would be an anti

jamie: jin

sam: namjoon

margaery: taehyung + jimin

tormund: namjoon + jin

missandei: namjoon

daario: jungkook

rhaenyra: yoongi

daemon: hobi + yoongi

alicent: taehyung

viserys i : namjoon

got x bts moments:

jungkook

ned’s death & the red wedding would traumatize jungkook. you’d be secretly recording him, his jaw would drop and he would just get so upset “YOU KNEW?! AND YOU LET ME GET ATTACHED TO THIS SHOW?! THATS WHY YOU ACTED WEIRD BEFORE TONIGHT’S EPISODE!!!!” (may have begun writing a fic of this because i can't control myself... coming soooon!!!)

he'll pout and be so upset about it

jungkook will buy a tiny iron throne figure for his apartment and he’ll let different action figures sit on it (istg i wrote this then realized i did this in the past my fucking soulmate)

jungkook would be loyal to house stark

he’d freak out when he finds out maisie williams is an army + a jungkook bias!

would be impressed by all the guys’ beards in the show and he’ll try to grow out his facial hair for a couple of days or he'll just say that it's very very cool but not something he'd do

might seriously consider a fencing lesson because he thinks the sword fighting is cool too (if he has a sort of spear/sword toy at home, he’ll recreate the movements, especially oberyn’s)

would LOVE the theme song

and would also imitate the night king's hand raise

daenerys would 100% bias jungkook imo because he's not only so physically active and capable, but he's also incredibly clever AND would be devoted to her! idk he has a link to daario, but better of course

hobi

hobi would love it but he’d think the violence and gore is excessive

he wouldn’t mind it, he just thinks it’s a bit much. 

hobi would look away but he’d freeze during joffrey’s death

he'll go "i need a drink"

daemon would bias hobi because arson and jack in the box is just so his vibe.... hobi would be SHOOK if someone told him this connection though (& i don't think he'll like it >.< sorry hobi i just see it)

jin

jin would be a very casual watcher. he’d be into it but wouldn’t look up much about the show or the books. if he has a question he’ll either just wing it & continue in the hopes that he understands later on or he’ll text a friend (*cough cough, text me jin*)

he'd be such a casual watcher that he might accidentally skip an episode then try to connect the dots himself

could actually see him enjoying the battle episodes

most popular member among the got characters - i just think that so many of the characters would love to joke around and go drinking with jin, he'd free them from the constraints and dreariness in their everyday lives

yoongi

in another universe i could see yoongi being someone who listened to the audiobooks

but i think he’d be a casual watcher, mostly, but he’d remember very specific and weird details that most people would have neglected  

but he’d watch a youtube video of something if he feels like he’s lost on something or the lore - he wouldn’t finish said video though

yoongi wouldn’t be very reactive while watching, even during the shocking bits, but i can see him letting out a little disapproving “….wow” at cersei blowing up the sept 

favorite scene: “tell cersei, i want her to know it was me”

rhaenyra would bias yoongi because he's just so chill while also being a badass, minds his own business, and is incredibly clever - i could see them working well together

namjoon

namjoon would love tyrion so, so much, he’ll use one of tyrion’s quotes as an instagram caption 100% 

or a picture of his dog moni with a direwolf/stark related caption like “my very own dire wolf”

namjoon would get AFFECTED by the show like he’ll spend time pondering over morality and what he’d do if he were in a character’s position, considering the characters' povs, link it to the real world.....

namjoon would especially be mad as fuck at how jamie’s arc ended, i think

his favorite scene would be tyrion’s trial

would be so so into the show that he’d avoid consuming content about the show like the plague in case he accidentally comes across a spoiler

i don't think he'd hate the ending....

idk i'm so so SO curious to know namjoon's thoughts on the show i feel like i could be way off on his reactions

bonus / more than one member:

jungkook, hobi, and namjoon would be obsessed with the dragons

but namjoon and jungkook would be as equally obsessed with the direwolves

i said jungkook would love the theme song, but i think namjoon would too. If he hears jungkook singing the theme song, he’ll join in 

jin and hobi could develop crushes on emilia clarke

as i said i don’t see tae watching the show, but i think he’ll see one or two scenes somehow & that’ll stick in his mind - im guessing the scene of daenerys getting the unsullied 

i think sansa will definitely bias jimin because of how kindhearted and sweet he is and how that's just a part of his nature, he'll remind sansa of the good in the world <3

if any of the members were to post something got-related (like namjoon’s direwolf post i mentioned), taehyung would “respond” by posting a picture of yeontan with the caption “tan, the real king” 

expect user uarmyhope to comment with "LORD STARK" a bunch of fire, snow, dragon, wolf, crown emojis - on both thv and rkive’s posts

the way they’d all go ?????? at ed sheeran’s cameo - hobi would burst out laughing and post it on his insta stories with the caption “hey buddy!”

[wikiangela]

alive shannon 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 (but much more enthusiastically)

yaaay I love talking about this fic haha

so, the alive shannon fic is my most precious baby, and I love her sooo much (both the fic and shannon haha)

the idea started bc I was tired of the discourse and hate on Shannon bc she doesn't deserve it, and since I first watched the show I always just felt so bad for her - but that's a whole rant sitting in my drafts so that's all I'm gonna say on that atm hahaha

the fic is going to be basically a rewrite of canon where Shannon survives the accident and she and Eddie get divorced, and she stays in Christopher's life - so she sticks around and she and Eddie become friends/co-parents, and she's gonna get to know Buck too (I think they're on their way to become besties tbh lol) - and most of all she and Chris will get to have a relationship

so that, and all the events from canon that are still gonna happen and how it might differ with her around - and in the middle of it all Buck and Eddie will slowly fall in love, and she's gonna be so 👀 about Eddie and Buck's relationship and eventually she's gonna be like: these oblivious idiots are never gonna get it istg haha (she might meddle a bit too, and I kinda want to get it up to the end of s4 with Ana just to see Shannon be like: it should be Buck, wtf is eddie even doing lol)

and I'm just excited to explore these dynamics, and Eddie moving on and letting himself fall for someone else (Buck), and him and Shannon getting the closure they were robbed of in the show haha

it's gonna be switching pov with each chapter so we'll get all three perspectives and it's sooo much fun to write and I have sooo many ideas (as of now there's almost 20k words, and I'm still only on chapter 3, didn't even get to the truck bombing yet, so it's gonna be fucking long lmao)

there are already way too many snippets posted here, you can find them under the alive shannon fic tag (this post is tagged as this too lol) but here's one more that I'm not sure I shared haha - it's from chapter 1, from Eddie's pov, and it's him and Buck waiting for news about Shannon's condition at the hospital, and not knowing if she survives or not

He thinks back to his and Shannon's latest interactions, to her coming back, to the chaos of their relationship, that Eddie knows isn’t good, he knows that, he just can’t help wanting to fix it – she’s his wife, how can he just give up? Maybe it was good, once upon a time, before they were thrust into parenthood and marriage way too young, before they were pressured and divided by Eddie’s family, their suggestions sounding more like orders, now that Eddie thinks back on it, orders that he followed, being just a dumb kid. Maybe if he hadn’t left, if he stayed and supported her, if they did it all together, like the partners they were supposed to be… But there’s no point thinking about what ifs. It’s all over, whether she survives or not, and he just has to make his peace with it. He thinks back to their last conversation, and he hates to admit that she was right. “She wants a divorce.” he hears himself blur out, voice hoarse and breaking, unused in hours. He’s not sure why this is what he’s focusing on right now, why this is what he wants to tell Buck, but at least he’s not breaking down. He’ll allow himself a moment for that after he talks to his son, after he knows- “Shannon.” he croaks out, as if there was a need to specify. He feels Buck’s gaze on his face, but he can’t look up, can’t look into those worried blue eyes, or he’ll drown in them, willingly and completely, not ever wanting to swim back to the surface and face this cruel world. “She asked me for a divorce.” “Eddie, I’m so sorry-” Buck starts, but Eddie interrupts him with a bitter chuckle that sounds almost like he’s choking. He might as well be, he thinks the only reason he’s still breathing is holding his hand right now. Only other reason is back home, not realizing what’s happening, just doing his homework or watching cartoons. Eddie really doesn’t want to bring him bad news, he’s too young for this. “She’s right. I couldn’t- I didn’t want to see it. But she’s right.” he sighs, readjusting his grip on Buck’s hand, but not letting go. He doesn’t want to ever let go. If he did, he thinks he’d just crumble into a million little pieces right now, left for Buck to pick up. And he has no doubt Buck would, every smallest piece, and put him back together again. Really, what would he do without him? How did he do it without him until now?

ask me about my wips

Who Rules The World Commentary

Several episodes into watching Who Rules The World I created myself a discord channel that is one long thread of my reactions. I didn't keep it up for every reaction and included references to other shows I have seen, but this post shall be a compilation of my favorite comments. There will be SPOILERS!

~

feng lanxi: we should gather our strength, protect our people, and give people ways to raise profits

entire imperial court: how DARE you spout such utter nonsense

bai fengxi's little cloth is basically ruoye but a little less sentient (tgcf reference)

i do not envy hei fengxi being stuck between two badass fucking women thats like my dream throuple

the sixteenth kunlun disciple is such a dick in this show (eternal love reference)

i fucking love feng qiwu so much she is so cool and pretty and smart and capable and a ministerrrrr

my loml feng qiwu accepted that rejection with CLASS

prince chang i was just starting to like you and now you want darling bai fengxi dead / you're such a jiang cheng sometimes istg (mdzs reference)

huang chao has the best outfits of all the men in this show

i hope feng qiwu realizes she does not need a husband, or finds one she deserves. perhaps she should marry loml huang chao. that would be quite the forbidden romance, with jizhou and yongzhou being rival states

i can tell prince chang is about to fall in love with bai fengxi / oh nvm prince chang is about to find out his brother is a sneaky bitch and isnt weak at all

mULAN??

so the reason there are two questions is xerox copies

he named a restaurant after him and the princess, any other drama and they would be the main couple (👀)

the fate of the state rests on HORSES??

is this whole show just gonna be feng lanxi vs lady baili playing games in court?? / where is the jianghu fighting i thought this was gonna be

HUANG CHAO LOOKING GORGEOUS IN PURPLE AND ORANGE

mommy issues, am i right? / this is textbook gaslighting / i made the jiang cheng comparison impulsively but its coming more and more true (mdzs reference)

more than meng yao, i think feng ju is Er Ge from WOH (mdzs and tyk/woh reference)

i want to be half of a power couple with huang chao so bad / i would fully support him being ruler of the world / why shouldn't he be?? / he is strong, sexy, smart, and seems to be protective and caring to those under him / he DESERVES everything

metal chain riding

where did the candles come from??

i can't believe there's this long plotline centered around horses

the fact that she is not crushed by rocks is a fucking miracle rn

i have never seen a faker wound

so feng lanxi easily got past the murder leaves and moving iron chains?

this would be more hard hitting emotionally if we'd seen lanxi struggle with guilt over his mom's death before

this whole arc is just basically that maze in the goblet of fire (harry potter reference)

they mastered it cause they're in love??? lmao so true this sounds like svsss (svsss reference)

it would be hilarious if Yu wuyuan was the secret head of the soul taker sect (👀)

he gets a map and she gets a flower?? / sexism

wow this beautiful good man too good to be true is evil

i trusted ywy cause he acted a lot like xichen (mdzs reference)

rip Lanxi's boys and the amount of stress they're always under because of his double life and running around

any scene where something is fed in a court drama it's very likely to be poison

Lanxi talks a lot and in higher more mischievous tones that LWJ, that'd why I didn't notice until late it was the same voice (cql reference)

what is the deal with the female love interest being compared to the dead mom

baili is trembling with rage during this whole memorial ceremony / like chill, she's dead dude

another fake token! / who's behind all this is obviously wen kexing (tyk/woh reference)

omg he DREW FANART OF THEM

she's secretly smart as fuck and a talented tactician, isn't she? / oh hell yes she's smart and talented

what is it about tortured brothers relationships that attracts me so??

why can't sisters ever get this deliciously complex of a relationship??

good for him that he got her dead though, he won't have to marry her

does it matter that lanxi has a two syllable name due to him being the legitimate son, and the other princes have only a one syllable name?

where is loml jiang yanli?? i miss her / THERE SHE IS (cql reference)

NO / you attacked MY LOML / I HATE YOU NOW / I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ATTACKED JIANG YANLI / FUCK YOU WUYUAN (cql reference)

"we can't be separated" you ain't slick bitch

WE LOVE GAL PALS

OMG THE HEI-BAI IN BLACK???

so this pill captured the sacred Jade Moon?? that makes no sense

okay so ywy needs to take over the world to break his curse / why didn't his family just stop procreating smh

so true he is indeed the third wheel

you know what my new otp is / the polyamourous power throuple that is feng qiwu/bai fengxi/feng lanxi

are they really pretending like they didnt dance with each other knowingly

wowww thats a double identity inside a double identity

i just KNOW he was kicking screaming about all that pda

now this is just an obvious metaphor for his true feelings

NOT HIM ASKING FOR ROMANCE ADVICE FROM ZHONG LI

its similar to war YOU NERD

now what the fuck is this secret society thats the token keepers

how does this tree still have leaves in the winter when its snowin

this fanfic is going on for quite long

my fave feminist gal pals so true

cross dress and frolick

he keeps getting cockblocked by lesbianism

lmaoooo thats porn

feng qiwu is truly the GOAT for helping her crush and bestie get together

omg is feng lanxi going to be set up with snake spirit princess?? (eternal love reference)

how does everyone know everyones business?

heh that fucking clay statue that was definitely not carved by them on the spot

prom? in candles

chuanyu the cockblock

is there really nothing between ms huan and feng ju??

oooo loml huang chao wants to marry the snake spirit princess (eternal love reference)

love me some cgi rain

omg power couple boxing rocks together so true

she is gonna make him take the floor in his own tent

lanxi: giving you the bed last night was worth it / chuanyu: you WHAT

i hope he accepts her secret royal identity as easily as she accepted his

bai fengxi: if you wanna kill the evil guys... i will definitely help you

general REN fuck yeah chuanyu

court politics, military tactics, rogue cultivators (martial arts equivalent), revenge and redemption, enemies to friends to lovers romance

exhibitionist kink?

yeahhh that was pretty obviously drugged

ACTUAL MURDER PRINCESS

divine fairy?? thats such a cool title

omg i feel like she could be a villain in the future but like she is such a girlboss??

they are both such dorks when it comes to love, much unlike loml huang chao and chunran

omg dage wants to give him a shovel talk

bai fengxi is always hungry, she is just like me

chuanyu cockblocking AGAIN

love how they keep calling this chess even though its very clearly not chess

NO LOML HUANG CHAO YOU'RE BEING MANIPULATEDDD

this is a brother vs boyfriend situation for bai fengxi

i love how they havent even confessed to each other properly but her brother is already treating lanxi as her brother in law

PIGGY BACK RIDING IN THE RAIN CAUSE ONLY ONE UMBRELLAAAA

loml feng qiwu should be queen and empress of all

she is a doctor, a fighter, tactician, a cook, she can do anything

they give off major legolas and gimli energy with their fond competitiveness / or pat and pran (lotr and bad buddy reference)

let us gaze fondly at each other as we treat the many sick people of this town

ooooo this new black and gold robe for qiwu is SEXY

bai fengxi's dad: its not serious, my illness is fine / me: yeaaahhh he is deinitely going to die

the only healthy family so far is the bai father and daughter and the royal family of qingzhou

zhong li is so babie its easy to forget he is also very skilled / a wen ning if you will (mdzs reference)

i can recognize the hit sticks by now

Jesus Christ ep 34 was INTENSE / basically guanyin temple levels of end confrontation (mdzs reference)

And that is the end of a subset of my live reactions! I have some more end of show reactions but they don't fit the mood of this post. If you made it until here, congrats! (lemme know if you enjoyed it and would like more as i venture into other shows)

[kithtaehyung]

i finally read it after my post basketball nap 😭 and i hate you but in the best way possible. enjoy the notes i took while reading (there are a lot)

“There’s no telling what he’ll say if you make him comfortable again.”

“He knows you’re safe, and that should be enough. … It’s not.”

• fucking hell ryen 😵‍💫

“And truthfully, he doesn’t deserve those eyes looking at him like that, either. Like he holds all the answers when he really only comes with problems.”

• 😭 ryen im gonna cry

“If you remember anything about that weekend, he hopes it’s that moment. That lone pocket of time is one that he’ll always remember.”

• i swear being in his head is spectacular

“Goddamn, he’s gotten more than soft. Surely, he can deflect whatever the hell he’s feeling somehow.”

• the way he’s been holding it in I can’t 😭

“And with each thing he learns, the more concerned he gets. About the way you’ve been treated, about anything happening to you, and about how he’s starting to feel.”

• this man is… so… i have no words

“Laughing, he feels his chest beat quick, so fucking amused when you come at him like that. Like you don’t give a shit who he is. It does things to him that he’ll never quite admit out loud.”

• admit them you stubborn man 😤

“He’s gonna get you back for that one. You can’t be better than him at his own game.”

• the fact that oc doesn’t even realize the fucking power she holds over this man is absolute perfection 😍

“Did you dye it this morning or did she?”

• JIMIN IS MY GUY! I SCREAMED literally been picturing this for weeks ryeennnnnn 😫

• can we discuss the lengths pjm and kth went to in order to make sure oc was safe because damn. like as much as bro pisses us off sometimes he’s clearly done something right to have friends like this •

“He gathers his things with stiff fingers before heading out the door, looking for the cat he wants you to meet before walking to his car.”

• idk why but this got be so hard… the gorgeous subtly of his brain

• This entire thing made me feel so many different things. it probably will change but for the time being bro has softened me a lil. the way he threw hands and the way his friends regard him highly enough to really worry about him and his family. •

• and i have very little else to say about yoongi at this point. he’s shakespeare level tragic and i love that oc is there because he cant admit that she’s healing him. like he’s not just down bad he’s tortured. •

all in all beautiful job 👏🏼

side note: my team won, 118-72, 25$ a point for cancer research so i definitely channeled some yoongi energy for that shit. and the snacks went over real well. one of the docs on my team chuckled when he saw them and when i asked what was funny he said “ah you wouldn’t understand” so… doctor Karalis if you’re here ‘this is awkward but hi and I’ll see you Monday’

- 🦊

omg hello fox!! my goal was to get this out before monday bc your last bit had me crying LMAO. i love the win for you and it's def bc you channeled the yoongi energy! that's also an amazing game holy shit. high scoring for both teams! but uhhh yes hope this isn't awkward for both of you dslkfjdsklf anyway, to your wonderful comments, let's get it!

yeah... yoongi really does want what he wants. it's so tragic and beautiful and i just love him.

the answers/problems line! i love how you pointed that one out bc i love that one.

being in his head is certainly a time. super intimate chapter, and exhausting as all hell to write as fun/comforting as it was. there's just a lot going on.

he is holding things in, i know.. internalizing a shit ton. and the concerned line! i love that pair of lines, too.

admit all the things, yoongi. you can do it!

READER HAS NO CLUEEE

and i love jimin so damn much. he's a real one istg

WE CAN DISCUSS. vmin are the friends we all need tbh. they really did go the lengths. bc yeah tae told reader that he covered for her, but he didn't know about the basketball thing. so when jimin was freaking out.. he needed to know for sure.

the subtly at the end, where yoongi just wanted to see where that cat was and thought of reader :(( that was totally intentional and i'm so glad you picked that to talk about!

i will say this over and over: i love bro. yes, he's an obstacle as far as we know and yes he's a hardass. but it's hard to blame him when he's been the supportive figure in reader's life. on top of all the crap that he's getting done on his own. it's so clear that he can rely on his friends, which is really fcking good bc that man needs help.

shakespeare level tragic? holy shit what a compliment i can't even- wow. thank you for reading and for all of this commentary! i thoroughly enjoyed reading it all, and i'm glad you were able to enjoy going inside yoongi's mind.

I've been rereading RHS for the nth time, unsurprisingly. I have over 20 WIPs for this goddamn Webtoon istg.

But I finally finished one and posted it the other day, so it's time I yap about dragon of my dreams. Aka, my Mook x Aru emotional hurt/comfort one shot that takes place the night of the series epilogue.

This post is long af. Obligatory "Honey, you've got a big storm coming" warning.

So originally this fic was supposed to be somewhat inspired by Mitski's Abbey, specifically this section:

There is a light that I can see But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me There is a dream that I sometimes see That only appears in the dark of sleep

In the end, the only allusion I included to the song at all was this

"… he is the light she sees when the world seems even the tiniest bit dark."

And the whole aspect of them being able to meet in Aru's dreams, which was honestly one of my "Gracie wants her ship to sail, so she'll bend the rules to make it happen" ideas.

The original concept portrayed Mook as only appearing before Aru in his dragon form and remaining completely silent, only showing her his human form and speaking to her for the first time in the dream after he saves her.

I'm too greedy to let that happen, however, and wanted more of an established friendship between the two. So then came the concept of a role reversal hurt/comfort one shot which is described pretty well by the summary.

Aru's oldest friend is a dragon who comforts her in her dreams. After she escapes a potentially fatal traffic incident unharmed, however, Mook is the one who needs comforting.

Mook honestly has such a huge burden by choosing not to reincarnate with Aru. He has to wait (presumably) nineteen years of her life just for one chance to change hers. If I were in that position, I would have so many doubts and worries. What if I'm too late? What if it doesn't work?

And even though he is relieved due to his success, now he might start worrying that he's of no use to Aru anymore. He's served his purpose of protecting her, but at the cost of his happiness.

“'I thought I’d be okay with watching you grow up. And I am so, so glad I can. I’m proud of who you’ve become. But it’s never been enough. Even this, being able to see you here…'”

Aru, despite not knowing anything of their time at Reincarnation High, recognizes that his selflessness is his biggest downfall. He has given everything to protect her, leaving him with little for himself. And, if not for my dream shenanigans, he would be left with nothing but remaining a bystander.

"'... You should make a choice for yourself, even if it's selfish.'”

Then, after some realization on Aru's part that Mook did in fact save her that morning, Aru asks him,

“'Why did you decide you needed to rescue me in the first place?'”

And it leads into the self-indulgent scene where Mook manipulates Aru's dream into some critical moments within their relationship. In order, these are:

The hand kiss scene from ep. 129

The Red Eclipse Festival dance scene from ep. 85

A scene from the Trip to Hell arc from ep. 48

The two flying above the garden in ep. 120

Mook's confession scene from ep. 104

The hair clip scene from ep. 52 (this one is a lot more subtle than the others but still included)

The balcony scene from ep. 130

And yes, I have screenshots of all of them...

Listing them out is a little jarring since, at first glance, they might seem like they have little to no correlation with each other.

And there's even more self-indulgence when Aru, because she's Aru, still doesn't understand why. Mook gives his reasoning (because he loves her), effectively freaking Aru out enough for her to wake up before she can actually respond.

And my final quote:

"Love is something I can try and understand. And if you do love me, Mook… you can have all of me, if that's what you really want."

Again, I'm really happy with how this fic turned out! I miss RHS so much, and I'll definitely be releasing more fan content for this series in the (hopefully) near future. And maybe one day I'll end up adding a second part going further into this concept because I think it's cute.

For those who read the fic or make it to the end of this post, thank you and stay safe! :)
