Max from Sam and Max for the character ask meme
Max for this ask meme!
I'm gonna be so honest I got DEEP in the paint here and I'm writing this after having finished answering everything - and. Yuh this need a cut LMFAO so the answers are under the read more! Ain't wanna clog your page without warning - and my most sincere of apologies in advance for yappin as much as I did but. What can I say. Special interest fun.
I have to thank you regardless for having me think about these, because this was super enjoyable!! Plus I find any opportunity to pour my heart out really cathartic ā˜ļøšŸ©·
How I feel about this character
LOVE im. Love im to bits it's quite incredible actually LMAO. As with both parts of that pair they're stronger characters put together, but I think Max has way more nuanced personality as an individual than people tend to think about him!! In Sam's bio in the original Save the World, it states they've known each other all their lives and "speak a common language" - and I think that fact, about specifically Max, goes to show he's more detailed than it appears :] More than their hijinks and playful taunting, they do speak a common language: and it's supporting the other how they need case-by-case šŸ„ŗ
I don't know, I always appreciated how Max was a deeper character than was outwardly demonstrated most of the time. At the end of TDPH, the moment where Max is recalling what happened in his timeline with nonchalant humor in the face of pretty horrific circumstances (whether used to cope or not), but then sees Sam visibly disconcerted, and Max immediately changes how he approaches the conversation with more tact, is beautifully subtle in showing Max is capable and willing to be gentler with Sam when their usual joking doesn't work.
Maybe it was or was not intentional, and I'm reading way too much into it, but long story short Max is a wonderfully comedic, yet nuanced character, and even as more of a Sam fan (by a mere margin, mind you), I would be remiss to deny that the pair are interwoven pretty inseparably - and Max being any other way wouldn't make their dynamic work nearly as perfectly. Good rabbity thing character 10/10
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Sammy Hound Dog is my only ship for him šŸ¶šŸ°I couldn't imagine those two being with anybody else. "In every life, I will find you," type beat y'know?
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Does Flint Paper count LMAO? I think they'd be rather close (whenever they have free time between cases really JWBFKSN) and I'd imagine Max still has a bit of an idol thing going on even post Night of the Living Dead :]
Maybe a cheating answer but truthfully my gut answer was Sybil!! She's the pair's bestie imo so sure maybe obvious person to say but all the same I think she and Max could be a hell of a lot closer than it appears (ā Ā“ā āˆ©ā ļ½”ā ā€¢ā Ā ā įµ•ā Ā ā ā€¢ā ļ½”ā āˆ©ā `ā ) I think she'd be a deeply trusted confidant, and he thinks to go to her first concerning things he couldn't ask Sam about/for - not that that'd be. Very much. Considering the little to no filter he's got But for dates or to surprise Sam with something and he knows he's gonna need help with it she's his first thought. Though I'm sure the end of TDPH probably went to show how much deeper Max cared for Sybil than what showed on the surface šŸ„¹šŸ©·
My unpopular opinion about this character
PG opinion? Now I am The Number One, Uno, Un, Ein, Ɖnas, Yek crossdressing fan wholly and truly I've never known myself without that passion But I would probably say as far as the content I see, I'm way surprised that Max is the most chosen of the two to do so!! Immediate disclaimer bc one will always be Grateful to be fed and the work is always SUPER delightful regardless but just from what I hear in dialogue and have seen in the cartoon I was always under the impression Sam was more willing and even eager to crossdress, while Max was pretty hesitant and/or did not do so very often :0 At the end of the day this is a huge nothing-offense but it's more something I found interesting in the fandom! Clothes aren't gendered just in case I have to say that but I'm quite fond of the term and the history so it's just how I call it :]
Adult opinion? Max prefers to top and Sam prefers Max tops too. Sure they'll switch off on occasion but I think after that dog does all the work and talkin all day there's a dynamic shift (ā ā—ā ā€¢ā į“—ā ā€¢ā ā—ā )šŸ‘šŸ¼ That's all I've got for now I would further elaborate with great love but being that I'm not sure how you feel about this sort of thing I'll leave it out of courtesy!! But it was an honest gut answer I had so I didn't want to leave it from my rambling
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
That he gives Sam a big ol kiss right on that snout of his and then rehashes that line about his warmth being alarming
If I can't answer that then I'm also cool with a peek into their actual bedroom!! I was always under the impression they lived right in the office, but I've also seen iterations from other fans of them having a house or an apartment!! Regardless of depiction, I think having a concrete bedroom visual for them would be super interesting (ā ā˜†ā ā–½ā ā˜†ā ) Though it is fun as fans to be able to speculate and show off our own ideas, so it isn't upsetting or anything of that sort - just something I think could realistically be done!
Sincerely I don't have any specific wishes for Max specifically - I think he was handled very well in all the media he's in, and anything that wasn't directly shown or written is very easily remediable with fanon and community ideas!! I don't find anything wrong with the stories serving their purpose as is, and the people being left to interpret and add onto what exists šŸ©·
Though, if I can give a more dramatic answer to this, however unrealistic, then I'd say I wouldn't at all hate a musical motif for him (or all the main characters really!!) I understand that hardcore story-telling is not really a Sam and Max special, but if I can be self-indulgent and shamelessly passionate about music, then I'll say especially for a game like TDPH something during more emotional or intense moments including character musical motifs in the background a la God of War reboot style would make things a hell of a lot more impactful.
Like Max's motif could be something lively, something typically with drums and violin or harp, or even flute, and changes depending on the progression of the story - during his initial power sequence, it's powerful and upbeat and smooth; during his beast transformation, it's chaotic and defeaning and gritty; during Sam's departure from the lab after finding out they couldn't bring Max back, it's quiet and drawn out and almost sounds like a lullaby before Sam takes to the streets and the motif stops playing to transition into Sam's sole motif, which would be equally quiet and solemn, to imply Max being left behind and Sam left alone. Maybe Sam and Max while they're together also have a motif that's both of their individual ones combined - and when it matters most, their motifs can be separate like when Noir Sam happens or when Max is trapped in the ship.
There's a lot of potential in music being powerful for this series, and while I think the sound direction is good as is (I mean, "That Rainy Neon Glow" is a pretty damn good Noir Sam track), I think a little extra care to make motifs to consciously and subconsciously recognize themes would be tremendous. I mean shit maybe they're gonna do that for the upcoming remaster and I'll be taken aback but I'm more of the belief that this is something only in a wistful dream ā˜ļøšŸ©·

RAUUUGHHHH BLOCKSTUCK UPDATE FOR 6/12
RAUUUGHHGFHHH THIS HAS BEEN LIKE WAY TOO LONG IN THE MAKIGN BUT I FIGURED AN UPDATE WOULD BE FITTING FOR 6/12!!! its a super short update but i promise i won't leave you guys hanging for 2 years again lmfao. more coming soon!!! >:33
FIRST PAGE: https://mspfa.com/?s=43188&p=1
p.s. explanation for the excruciatingly long hiatus under the cut vv
i feel like i . owe you all an explaination with how long that really took to update. for fuck's sake it's been since april of 2022 since i updated it. i'm not gonna go into too much detail but pretty much Fucking Everything got away from me. that was the year my life kinda went to Shit towards the end and it sparked a really really fucking long depression that i just Couldnt Cope With so i just kind of. rotted. and so did most of my projects.
i'm on antidepressants now though, and i really wanna finish this story, even if it's gonna take me years just to finish one act. i put a *lot* of effort into this just for a simple self insert comic, and even though i don't entirely align with aselus' character anymore, i'm determined to finish what i've started. i still have a story to tell, i still have ideas and dreams for this comic, even if it wasn't initially what i wanted for it. even if it is just, at it's core, a cringy au where my self insert is friends with the main cast of characters. i still love this stupid thing, and i wanna finish it.
*however*,i'm not going to keep up with an "update schedule" anymore. i am, after all, just one guy working on this. it's not like hussie themself had an update schedule anyway. not to mention, i'm making all the music and panels and flashes all by myself, and i am learning how to use half of this shit from *scratch*. the update schedule just adds another layer of stress to the whole ordeal, and i'm not looking to add more stress to my plate with me trying to finish school and get into college early next year. i want this to be fun just as much for me as it is for anybody who decides to read blockstuck. i know that's extremely mushy for a comic like this, but i really do want this to be something i can fondly look back on as something i made that was actually pretty decent.
i already have a backlog of blockstuck panels ready to go, i'm working on one of the first flashes of the whole comic, but i'll start to slowly pump out the rest of what i've been working on when i can or . really even remember.
if you! read this novel of an explaination, thank you for listening to my creator woes, but i hope you can enjoy blockstuck as much as i have making it :) and this is !! hopefully going to be a better "start" than what i already started with.
thanks again to anybody whos stuck with the comic, and also sorry again to hussie for cussing them out when i first started this comic, lmfao. i still hate their guts but i love their work. Guh.
anyways. happy 6/12 everypony

No because if Raichi just shut up heā€™d pull LMAOO also if he didnā€™t say weird shit like ā€œman I canā€™t play my sexy soccerā€??? I guess thatā€™s more tame already for bllk boys but uh
Ouu ok now that you mention it I can imagine nsfw accounts probably get more hate commentsā€¦like in a way just because itā€™s nsfw itā€™s more polarizing in a way where people can use the fact thatā€™s itā€™s nsfw as an excuse to talk shit and whatnotā€¦.tbh I also think youā€™re probably safe?? But either way I got your back tho o7
LMAOO no literally itā€™s impossible to not throw at least one meme moment out thereā€¦but also HAHA I canā€™t wait not only to read it but also to see how long it ends up being LMAOA Iā€™m placing my bet here and saying 15k for now
AHAHAHA honestly when I first started diving into the ā€œmanga onlyā€ characters I also felt that wayā€¦but hey I mean whoā€™s stopping you from having two men to dedicate your blog to!! My b for fueling those thoughts LMAOAO the Karasu ideas were just too good though hehe
Iā€™m ngl I completely forgot notes were a thing HSGSHS ok but yeah honestly really just a matter of popularity because that Sae tag is overflowing (also just generally even on social media like tiktok almost every other bllk post I see involves the Itoshi bros like) trust once people are shown tabieita itā€™s over for your notificationsā€¦(bro Iā€™m STILL not over them not showing Karasu in the trailer??? We just got his chin like NO I need to see the hair too please Otoya did look majestic in that though!! Also in a recent interview some animating director I think acknowledged how s1 had to be a bit rushed because of deadlines but they have more time producing s2 so Iā€™m hoping that means animation glow up?!?!)
YEAH HE WAS CAPTAIN IN FWTKAC!! But literally like honestly he shouldā€™ve been captain for the u20 match too Rin was NOT leading anybody letā€™s be realā€¦also I was under the assumption that captains didnā€™t have to be the aces or main strikers of their team either? Like aikus a defender too ugh we couldā€™ve had captain Karasu but whatever!!! Iā€™m fully believing that in some point in time he was captain of Bambi
LOSERSEXUAL LMFAOOOOO TRUE!!! Something about the sad loser boys tugging at y/nā€™s heartstringsā€¦Iā€™m crying because literally Hiori canonically does NOT leave the house and Karasu would be there like ā€œbabe I can deal with all the taxes and finances and Iā€™m captain and I style my hair and Iā€™m smart and can read social cues too and I have friends and-ā€œ
Sassy younger sibling who humbles and puts their older sibling into place when they get a big head due to popularity >>>
LMFAO MALE PATTERNED BALDNESS I did not know that was the name for that type of buzz though so, the more yk!!
Well you guessed correctly I was giggling kicking my feet like ā€œomg the smash reference and Otoya finding out sheik is a girl mentionedā€ HAHAH Otoya not realizing his own feelings is now my favorite>>>
Ok wait but the real question is HOW MUCH WERE THOSE CUPCAKES?? Iā€™ve seen many a ridiculously priced dessert and Iā€™m curious about how much you imagined them being LMAO
No me too I can never imagine myself being with a cheater or even being much more than surface acquaintances with one!! It just doesnā€™t really make sense to me but FR honestly you wrote it really well because when I read that I could FEEL the teenage dumbassery like this is definitely more so a stupid boy still in puberty limbo who doesnā€™t really know how to go about actually loving someone and is kinda just recklessly having fun in a way that society has kinda established
I LOVED IT it had the exact vibe of ā€œoh no thatā€™s just my homie that I like spending every second of everyday with nothing more than bros thoughā€ that I had imagined Otoya would have if he ever actually loved someone SHSHS CANNOT WAIT have fun writing the Karasu one I just KNOW itā€™ll be a delight to read
Also wait Iā€™m gonna mash the light novel thoughts here too
And yeah I know a bit!!! Definitely not 100% fluent by any means but enough to be able to consume media and have most everyday conversations I just mainly canā€™t do super niche technical terms LOL It does take me a bit longer to read than if it were in English No youā€™re not dumb at all LMAO thatā€™s exactly what I meant when I mentioned translating earlier on HAHA
As mentioned before though Iā€™ve only gotten through like chapter 1 of yukiā€™s so far partially because of slower reading but also because I got sidetracked doom scrolling after trying to dig for a tiktok LMAO
BUT I almost cried looking at the index though one of the later chapters for yuki is ā€œa lifetimeā€™s worth of tearsā€ GOODBYE I think we all know what thatā€™s about :,,,)
Once I finish read them in their entirety Iā€™ll come back and slap more formal summaries of each chapter but basically YUKI IS SUCH A SENTIMENTAL BOY SHSGSH basically first chapter details his first day of elementary school/entrance ceremony (heā€™s got a loving set of parents thank god) but basically heā€™s a rather mature boy and is pretty stoic and shy so he worries about making friends. As heā€™s walking in thereā€™s Sakura trees in the yard that are causing petals to fall and yuki grabs one and stores it in his pocket (thatā€™s where he gets his ā€œfetishā€ from ig LMAO) In the end he befriends his seatmate and another girl, and ofc the way they first meet is just via self-intros and reading each others name tags and the name tag part is highly emphasized in the chapter!! His seatmate makes it a point to stare at his name tag and the girl literally like yanks his shirt to get a better look at the name tag (LMAO). Anyways, first day goes well and yuki goes home with his parents all happy and whatnot until he gets home and starts changing into home clothes and realizes his name tag isnā€™t with his jacket like he thought it was supposed to be!! He gets all frantic because the name tag was really special to him, since his mom had handwritten his name onto it and (this next part is more implied) it was a memento of his first day at school where he managed to make friends! So he literally runs out like mom I canā€™t find it and his momā€™s like ā€œoh no! Weā€™ll just have to order you another one thenā€ and yukis like ā€œNo..that one was special..ā€ so literally right before they plan to eat dinner he runs out back to school to try and search for it and ofc (as the non negligent parents they are) his parents chase after him!! They end up going back and forth tracing their steps from their home to school like three times and yukis like on the ground searching under cars and just checking everywhere and after their third try his parents are like ā€œitā€™s time to go home kenyuā€¦weā€™ll order you another donā€™t worry! You must be hungry nowā€ and begrudgingly on the verge of tears yukiā€™s like okā€¦and goes to take some sakura petals from the ground at least to make up for it but turns out his name tag was buried under the petals shdgshsh heā€™s so happy heā€™s crying tears of joy* and heā€™s glad he didnā€™t give up and his parents are hugging him as he cries and he thinks to himself ā€œGod was looking out for me, as long as I donā€™t give up, these sorts of wonderful things will be sure to happenā€ and it ends with ā€œHis honesty and determination gave birth to a small miracleā€
It was so cute he really held that name tag close to his heart even after just one day!! And heā€™s very perceptive..like when his parents were getting ready to go back home he realized that theyā€™re probably also exhausted and you can kinda feel that he feels bad about that which is why he reluctantly agrees to going home! He was also really nervous entering school LOL even his parents were a bit worried that he was too quiet/stoic to make friends
Ok onto reading more so I can come back here or maybe by the time Iā€™m done Iā€™ll have just decided to compile a large list of summaries LMAO
-Karasu anon
please ignore how crazy quickly my chronically online ass is responding to this LMAOAOA but yes i feel like raichi is missing a certain smth that would allow him to get away w saying bs?? like if we look at the unholy trinity of making sexual comments while playing soccer we have shidou which like ok thatā€™s just shidou, karasu who is so chill normally + established as a menace that it kinda cancels out, and aiku whoā€™s hot enough that itā€™s acceptable somehow?? raichi doesnā€™t have any of that going for him plus we have literally never seen him play ā€œsexy soccerā€ a day in his life so what is he even talking abt šŸ˜­
i agree i think nswf/dark content accounts naturally are more susceptible to hate just because theyā€™re writing abt things that may or may not be acceptable to the general public so people freak out abt that and their automatic response is to hateā€¦honestly itā€™s a shame LMAO iā€™ve also seen a lot of stuff on tik tok where younger people in fandom make fun of older members of fandoms and itā€™s just like šŸ˜­ who do you think is making half of the content you consume šŸ˜­ because it for sure is not your fellow twelve year olds who are still learning grammar šŸ˜© personally i am many years away from being even close to thirty so i donā€™t take it PERSONALLY per se but idk itā€™s just sad i wish people would abide by the whole ā€œlive and let liveā€ policy because why is it hurting you that some random adult you will never interact with irl likes watching anime or writing fanfiction?? HAHAHA anyways rant aside yes i think iā€™m in as much of a green zone as you can get in terms of being safe from hate so i try not to worry too much šŸ˜© like what would people even be mad abtā€¦sorry for writing too much abt karasu ig???
I LOVE THE KARASU IDEAS DONā€™T WORRY LMAOO heā€™s my king nagi just gets the ā€œfirst bllk character i hyperfixated onā€ award so he will probably remain number one for a while just because of that šŸ˜­ although like as much as i love him i know for a fact that irl i WOULD be going for karasu because as much as i like taking care of other people i have been too spoiled for my entire life to ever go for someone who wouldnā€™t continue a that trend i fear that nagi may not fit the bill šŸ˜«šŸ’” heā€™s still my man though itā€™s ok
HAHAH we avoid the itoshi bros here as you well know šŸ˜Œ unless itā€™s a request or theyā€™re a second lead i will NOT be writing those mfs!! on this blog we care about side characters only šŸ˜ and nagiā€¦heā€™s kind of his own thing though LMAOAOA and yes it looks like the animation will be much better which iā€™m super excited abt!! i didnā€™t hate the bllk animation for s1 that much either so it really can only get better for me
OKAY I THOUGHT SO and yeah i feel like karasu lowkey acted like the captain for the whole u20 game too?? like he was making calls and plays on the field (even though lowkey isagi stayed ignoring him KDCJSJS) as well as arguing w the ref got injured AND ego called him the heart of the team so idk why he wasnā€™t the captainā€¦rin being captain made no sense bro didnā€™t even like his teammates šŸ˜­ i think it was just to further show that heā€™s the ā€œbestā€ but he did not have one captain-like moment in the entire game šŸ˜© iā€™ll cry if heā€™s the captain of the u20 world cup squadā€¦give me captain karasu/aiku or give me DEATH jinpachi ego ik you see karasu carrying pxg and bossing everyone around pls give him what he deserves (i wouldnā€™t mind aiku though just because heā€™s the oldest out of everyone and def has experience as a leader)
LITERALLY KARASU IS CRASHING OUTTT what does hiori have that he doesnā€™t (besides an erotic left leg) like heā€™s sobbing on the floor BEGGING y/n for a chance and sheā€™s just like šŸ˜ you mean that man hasnā€™t seen the sun in a week ā‰ļø i NEED him šŸ¤¤ (hiori is none the wiser he just thinks karasu is up to his usual nonsense and he doesnā€™t have enough social intelligence to realize a girl into him)
heheh i love throwing little references to our convos into my fics i think they rlly add a certain layer to them (otoya sheik scene vs karasu drowning scene who will win) iā€™m glad you appreciate them!! and YES oblivious otoya my king i love him sm
$50 USD is what i had in mind!! thatā€™s why y/n freaks out like otoya is hooking her up with the GOOD shit meanwhile he canā€™t even be bothered to spend $10 on the girl heā€™s actually dating LMAOAO he is actually insane a little bit šŸ˜“ the way the bakery wasnā€™t even having a sale so he had to have KNOWN y/n wanted cupcakes from there, went inside for specifically that purpose, texted his sister to make sure he was getting the right ones, and then spent a lowkey ridiculous amt of money all because he ā€œwanted her adviceā€ like i need him to be so serious rnā€¦
yeah thatā€™s also why i didnā€™t have y/n actively pining for him until he decided to better himself!! ofc she very clearly liked him a lot but she was far too aware of his nonsense to do anything abt it until he fixed himself and came to HER as a better version if that makes sense?! ofc it was her advice that made him realize what he had to do but she didnā€™t put in a drop of emotional labor it was all him!! i think thatā€™s the only way to handle a character like him without devaluing the mc or making her seem stupid for getting w such an obvious red flag
thatā€™s the vibe i wanted to give off like he thinks theyā€™re such good homies that his strong emotions are because of their friendly bond!! i bet you he mentally little-sister-zoned y/n for a hot minute because there was ā€œno other explanationā€ for why he liked her so much and she was best friends w his little sister so it only made sense to his dumbass
OKAY YAY Iā€™M GLAD I DIDNā€™T MISUNDERSTAND thatā€™s rlly fun!! japanese is such a cool language thereā€™s so many intricacies to it which i think are so fascinating (but make it rlly hard to learn iā€™m sure). iā€™m bilingual too in that i can speak hindi fluently (and better than a lot of people who actually live in india can) but sadly i cannot read or write it so iā€™m always jealous of people that can read another language
the doom scrolling on tik tok is unbelievably real my tt screentime is so bad šŸ˜° it makes up for it by being the source of many of my greatest ideas (thatā€™s how i justify it) as well as my favorite editsā€¦just the other day i saw an edit of marc snuffy (the ubers coach) and his one friend that committed suicide to the song ā€œforever youngā€ i lowkey teared up (not actually but ykwim)
STOPPP MY HEART YUKI IS SO SWEETTTTTT and he actually had a kind and normal family YAY!! i feel like this reaffirms what we were talking abt where he just doesnā€™t care about random peopleā€™s lives which is why his egoist bible entry is what it is but heā€™s def rlly caring for the people heā€™s close to šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ ugh the way he invented greenflagismā€¦also PLS he started young w those cherry blossoms jeez šŸ˜­ yes pls keep me updated w the ln idk how long it will take for it to be translated so i am relying on you šŸ«” in return i will give you bfb karasuā€™s version šŸ˜ˆ i think thatā€™s a fair trade šŸ¤«

šŸ’‹šŸŒ¹šŸ”„šŸŠšŸ‘šŸ˜ŠšŸ“€šŸšŸ’§šŸŒ€šŸ’¤šŸ‡šŸ†šŸŽ€šŸŒŗ (sorry there are so many-) any oc you have on the mind/ want to talk abt!
dont be sorry this is amazing!!!!! lol the only bad part is having to copy and paste each line from the post bc tumblr mobile wont let me do it the easy way......
ill do this for sun since i like her and she deserves to be more fleshed out
put it under a cut bc its so long lmao
šŸ’‹ How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?
shed be pretty affectionate! more physically than emotionally, but theres definitely both. i feel like her friendships would be important to her especially bc shes been pretty lonely for a lot of her life (especially in unreality - after her first death shes almost entirely isolated from people, other than the occasional unreality traveler or anon). but shed probably refrain from being so affectionate incase shes annoying or something - she wouldnt want to ruin something so important to her or make anybody mad.
šŸŒ¹ How easy is it for them to connect with others and make friends? On the flip side how easy is it for them to make an enemy of someone? Are they the kind of person who hangs around the food table at a party and never talks to anyone or are they the type who can talk to anyone?
im not really sure..... but she has made more enemies/negative relationships than positive. i dont even know if she actually has a more positive than neutral/negative relationship. im so sorry girl lmfao
shed be the kind of person to just hang around, not really sure what to do/say. theres so many people... but shed probably try to start a conversation or something. in the past (like as a kid or teen) shed be totally up to talk to people. she does want to make friends but she saw the horrors so its a little hard
šŸ”„ Give us a list of general likes and dislikes, such as colours, textures, music, weather and other stuff!
colors - likes warm/bright colors! dark colors arent really her thing though
textures - smooth and cool stuff is soooo nice. also fluffy things like teddy bears (happy teddy bear [the abno] enjoyer)! shed hate those like velvety textures. like fake velvet clothes or something?
music - she listens to vocaloid bc shes based and just like me fr. im never typing that out again
weather - likes quiter weather. more dangerous weather just scares her lmao
other - robot hater. finds the sephirot kinda fascinating but doesnt trust them at all, even if they were human before
šŸŠ What is your OCā€™s favourite meal? Snack? Dessert? Drink? Any reasons behind this besides liking how it tastes?
homecooked stuff is always the best.. i dont think shed really mind what. its kinda hard to get specific stuff lol, but she would like saviry food over sweet stuff. she gets a liking for tea over time as a manager - as her first part of unreality hell, she mostly only gets tea lol. good thing shes immortal
What is your OCā€™s most hated food? Stuff they canā€™t stand to eat or drink?
i think shed like fruit but if theyre too different shed hate eating it. anything too sour just isnt her thing at all
šŸ‘ Where is your OCā€™s favourite place to relax or calm down? Recount a story of their time spent in this place! What makes it so special to them?
librariessss. i think shed always go reading books as a kid out of curiosity. shed play coolmathgames on the computers. libraries are generally just a nice, safe place to be. especially since she spent a lot of time there as a kid, she remembers it fondly :)
Is there anywhere your OC hates to go to? Anywhere that stresses them out or have negative memories of?
unreality is a 50/50 'safe but on guard'/'GET ME OUT OF HERE'. she knows shes safe but is it where literally 99% of her trauma takes place lol. unreality is also hostile to people/life, but give it enough of yourself and it wont hurt you.
she has a lot of negative memories of it, with lots of deaths in many different places. shed be wary of like anywhere she goes, knowing anything could hurt her. she is very aware that shes weak, so she tries to compensate with vigilance, knowing when to run
šŸ˜Š What can make your OC smile even when theyā€™re feeling down? What cheers them up and makes everything feel better for them? Is your OC genrally a happy person and do they enjoy making others smile? What about your OC makes others happy?
animals. give her a cute cat or duck video she will go 'awwwwwweeeee!!!!!'. even as an arbiter she still likes animals. the only good things in the world (also very cute)
shes generally positive, trying to see the best in things, but as an arbiter she starts seeing things more negatively. she likes to make people happy and be a sort of light in the world.... but doesnt really care as an arbiter, kind of resigning herself, saying shes only a tiny part of the world and that shed make no true difference (also being an arbiter and fucking with people is fun). kind of edgy but like. after unreality hell itd make sense okay lmao
however like i said shed never hurt an animal. completely reverts into a positive mindset around a kitty cat
šŸ“€ How easy is it to shock your OC? To confuse them? To lie to them, to manipulate them? How are they with feelings of trust? Can your OC be trusted?
its easy to shock her. easily spooked no matter what lol. shes not very easily confused, though, and likes to think things through. lying to and manipulating her are harder, especially in the future/as an arbiter, bc she has like no trust for anyone. she trusts people to do their jobs and such but worries when it comes to relationships/personal things. shed like to think shes trustworthy! she can be trusted, but as time goes on she gets less and less trustworthy.
šŸ What is your OCā€™s mentality? Are they overall positive? Negative? A bit of both? Describe their thought patterns and reasoning behind their choice making!
like i said, overall positive. she tries to see the best in things and make good out of a situation, empowering herself to get through it.
she just doesnt trust the sephirah much at all so she takes what they say negatively, and tends to not really argue with people who talk badly about her, like "they have a point tbh". she doesnt want to be egocentric or only see herself positively. she tries to make choices that help everyone (and sometimes to gain peoples trust/prove shes a good person).
šŸ’§ What is the earliest memory your OC can recall? Do they know what their first words were or remember where they took their first steps? Do they have any mementos of their childhood theyā€™ve kept such as a stuffed toy or tiny baby clothes?
idk what her earliest memory would be tbh.. but she has a good memory. she took her first steps at her own house (technically her parents but still lol). and her parents were SO proud and they recorded it and everything. she couldnt keep anything since she got put into a whole new dimension while at work so. kinda hard to keep anything
edit from another question: EXCEPT her little hairband with the red things (gems? dots? idk what theyre called....)
šŸŒ€ Where is your OC from? Where were they born? Do they still live there, if not why did they move? If they still live in the area how has it changed since their childhood? How many places has your OC lived in and where has been their favourite?
she was born in the nest, living a pretty good life there! youll never guess why she doesnt live there anymore. she hasnt moved much, but she did actually move a bit away to work at l corp. the nest is still her favorite place, its just normal place for once.
šŸ’¤ What was your OC like as a baby, a child and as a teen? (if your OC is a teen or a child, what will they be like as an adult?). How have they changed since then? What lessons have they learned and what things about their youth do they miss the most? Do they have any general regrets?
sun was such a happy baby. full of childlike wonder (amplified by being a child). she was a nice kid, but was also super curious and unafraid to be a menace. she only loses this partially as a teen. she had good parents so she basically learned to be a good person and stuff (pretend i know this part thanks). she kinda just misses her youth generally, especially just being innocent/not knowing things. she regrets not spending more time with her parents.
šŸ‡ Day or Night? Sun or Rain? Summer or Winter?
day, sun, winter. the day is just pretty tbh, sun > rain, and winter is super chill. you can make snowmen and snow angels and have hot chocolate. its awesome
šŸ† Tea or Coffee or Hot Chocolate? Sweet or Spicy? Fruits or Vegetables?
hot chocolate/tea (but shes okay with coffee. not preferred though), spicy, fruits! shed be interested in trying spicy stuff tbh. and fruits are nice and sweet
šŸŽ€ Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when theyā€™re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?
her hairband is from her parents! it reminds her of them and makes her happy :)
she has a pretty good fashion sense, and likes wearing popular stuff, but sorta puts it off as a manager. she wouldnt care much about what to wear is she just wants to be comfy. for a party, shell put effort into dressing nicely though and wear a dress.
šŸŒŗ Does your OC have any tattoos or other body art? Does their body art have any specific meaning behind it? Do they have any scars? How did they get those scars? Any birthmarks?
the endddddd! yay
she has an X tattoo on the backside of each palm, and an X scar over her eye. these dont really have a canon meaning yet, theyre kinda just there bc shes the manager lol. though i do think the managers from her like. 'line' of managers all have X scars of their own. as for birthmarks, im not really sure, so no rn.

Beach Trip Headcanons: La Squadra
a/n: it's getting warmer where i live which is horrible and i hate it but it gave me some inspo here's some bullshit
Genre/Warnings: Crack, fluff, just some cute shit, polyamory (sorlato), a LOT of simping omfg
Tumblr media
~Risotto Nero~
-he already had his tits out on the regular so his bare chest isn't anything new but he lost that stupid hat so it wouldn't get wet and now you can stare at hat-less riz
-doesn't get in the water too often but he definitely goes underwater to grab your legs and scare you (he does it to ghiaccio and melone too; melone screams at the top of his lungs and ghiaccio fails around like he's drowning)
-spends most of his time under the parasols with illuso and prosciutto, just chatting and watching you mess around with your teammates (and maybe checking you out while he's at it)
-lowkey starts to get jealous if he thinks melone or formaggio are gettin' too friendly with you (god help any random person that flirts with you)
-Riz makes damn sure both you and him are very well saturated (?? does that sound weird) with sunscreen. there's no way in hell either of you will be suffering through that
Tumblr media
~Prosciutto~
-you thought you were going to the beach with your boyfriend? lmfao nah you're at the beach with mom and your rowdy ass siblings now
-came in clutch with the sunscreen, aloe vera ointment, snacks, water and spending money. has a very nice set up under a parasol with illuso (and you, if you'd like to join him in his relaxation/parenting session)
-pros with his hair down, shirtless and wearing a pair of pineapple swim trunks to match with pesci? out in public? a lot more likely than you'd think
-formaggio would be a prick and dump water on his hair and now you get to see prosciutto with his hair wet fUCK (pros would be FUMING but he'd look so GOOD)
-would read to you but he doesn't want to risk getting any of his fav books wet so he'd just tell you wonderful stories of the team before you joined (most of them are embarrassing for everyone but him)
Tumblr media
~Pesci~
-literally he's having the time of his LIFE right now. he's completely protected from the sun (thanks mamma pros), he's goin' fishing, he's got his s/o with him, what more could a boy ask for?
-maybe he should've asked formaggio to not throw sand at him every 10 minutes because that is happening for sure, no matter how much prosciutto yells at him to stop pesci will not be left alone
-is in the water like, 70% of the time. he'll make bets with ghiaccio to see who can swim out the farthest and ghia is surprisingly not mad when he loses
-he'll walk off the beach with just you to get ice cream and it's honestly really fucking cute (he gets strawberry, btw)
-pesci really likes picking you up and tossing you into the water. he's secretly a little bastard and will laugh at you while helping you up
Tumblr media
~Illuso~
-jesus the entire day with him is just šŸ™„. he's such a little bitch about EVERYTHING
-won't go in the water at all and carries a compact mirror with him so he has an escape plan in case formaggio decides to fuck with him. salt water damages your hair and there's no possible fucking way he's risking his scalp just for a little fun
-still insisted on wearing swim trunks and going shirtless though, mostly just to have your undivided attention (as if he didn't already force you to pay attention to him enough)
-sitting under parasols with prosciutto because he's pale and has sensitive skin but he still ends up getting sunburned and won't stop complaining
-you guys did have a cute little moment when the sun was starting to set and he dragged you away from everyone so he could look for sea glass with you (totally wasn't an excuse to hold your hand while he was dragging you around)
Tumblr media
~Formaggio~
-spends the entire day being a little rat bastard and making almost everyone wish he was dead (he respects risotto too much and sorbet and gelato scare him so he leaves them alone)
-throwing sand at pesci and melone, pouring water on prosciutto, stealing melone's goggles, chasing illuso into the mirror world, straight up throwing ghiaccio's car keys across the beach
-and of course he's gonna drag you into this. even if you just wanted to have a nice beach day with your asshole boyfriend, he's gonna hold you captive during his shenanigans
-can and will wipe his sweat on you. he thinks it's the funniest thing in the world. please throw seaweed at him in retaliation, he thinks it's nasty as fuck
-leaves the beach early so he can treat you to dinner, both as a thank you for dealing with his bullshit all day and as an apology for wiping sweat on you every 30 minutes
Tumblr media
~Ghiaccio~
-the most unrecognizable when he's as the beach with everybody. his hair isn't styled, so his curls are a lot looser and not plastered to his head, he's not wearing his glasses so they don't get lost in the water, HIS FUCKING LEGS AND BARE CHEST ARE JUST OUT
-literally just,,,SURFER GHIACCIO??? come ON dude. he knows what he's doing and will wink at you every single time he catches you staring
-loves wading out far into the water with you on his surf board so he can be all soft and cute with you without anybody hearing or seeing him
-he'll also be pretty light-hearted when he's out there too. he and pesci will see who can swim out the farthest and he'll let pesci win (let's be honest, with his legs he could swim to a different continent if he wanted too)
-ghia might look hot as hell out there, but he'll also end up burnt as hell. literally he just didn't put sunscreen on and he was out in the sun for hours. hottie got sun poisoning, please take him home early he will die
Tumblr media
~Melone~
-he brought along goggles, a snorkel and flippers so he can do some shallow reef diving
-he'll pop up occasionally and yell for you to come over and show you a tiny little crab or a cool looking fish he found (it's honestly really, really cute)
-mel will take routine breaks to reapply sunscreen, drink water, check up on you, and get his goggles stolen (which he did not plan on). he'll also take this time to use shitty beach-related pick up lines to get you to laugh
-honestly as pervy as you'd think he would be. maybe it's because he's distracted by all the fun little creatures he keeps finding in tide pools and such
-has his own little set up a few feet away from prosciutto and illuso's. he'll be there while he's taking his breaks and yes he will try to cuddle with you even though it's pushing 90 degrees at noon
Tumblr media
~Sorbet and Gelato~
-not to get sad in what is supposed to be a fun headcanon set but neither of them will take their shirts off or get in the water. both of them have a lot of body image issues and they'd really appreciate it if you didn't try to convince them to be half naked in public
-with that being said, both Sorbet and Gelato get loads of enjoyment out of just watching you swim around and have fun before returning to them
-Sorbet will help apply sunscreen but he really just wants an excuse to grope you and Gelato in public
-Gelato will want to have a sandcastle building contest with you (Sorbet is the judge and both of you receive the grand prize of a kiss)
-long walks on the beach together at night after everyone's gone home? of fucking course it's gonna happen

Iā€™ve been holding off on making this post because I wanted to try it out myself and get settled in and make sure everything went okay, but seeing as Iā€™ve gone ahead and updated my site and everything I thought now might be a good time to start talking about this publicly!Ā 
If youā€™ve known me for more than five minutes you know I fucking hate Webtoon, like, a lot. Every aspect of it disgusts me to the core of my being, and while Webtoon is the ugliest version of them the aspects that I hate also extend to basically any comic aggregate site. I hate that they treat artists like content robots, I hate that they treat comic readers like morons who arenā€™t capable of engaging with complex stories, I hate that they actively try to strip away all the cool parts of indie comics by cultivating sterile and impersonal environments that discourage artistic experimentation and unique expression.
So! I hope youā€™ll be interested in what I have to say about this new platform thatā€™s (hopefully) going to be out of alpha this summer. If you think you like reading comics on Webtoon, I really encourage you to check out Dillyhub once it launches. Thatā€™s the short version, but I have a LOT to say about this! So Iā€™m putting the rest of this under a cut.
Full disclosure, Iā€™m not getting paid or anything for this. The creative outreach at Dillyhub contacted me a few weeks ago asking if Iā€™d be interested in having Kidd Commander be one of their launch titles when they go live this summer. I was hesitant at first, since I actively distrust anything claiming to be For Creators at this point, but they answered my pushy questions patiently and everything seemed on the up and up so I gave it a shot; Iā€™ve been needing a mobile mirror for KC anyway. Eventually they invited me to the alpha creator discord, where theyā€™ve been working directly with all of us artists to improve the platform, and now to be honest Iā€™m REALLY excited for this thing to get off the ground. Nobody asked me to make this post, but since Iā€™ve spent years whining and bitching about how other services do wrong by their creators, I thought Iā€™d talk about this one thatā€™s doing things right.
So, the biggest advantage this site has for creators over others in my opinion is that it. Treats us like individuals, regardless of follower count lmfao. If youā€™re a new person just starting out with your new webcomic, hereā€™s what webtoon does for you:
Tumblr media
Note: you donā€™t get a custom banner, you donā€™t even get to choose the solid color it is. That big circle icon is ALSO the image that shows up in searches, but everywhere else on the site itā€™s a 100x100px square, so you have to choose whether you want it to look good as a giant circle at the top of your comicā€™s page OR whether you want to look good in search results. Which, by the way, is the ONLY way for people to find you if youā€™re not partnered. And thatā€™s it! You have no monetization options, you wonā€™t show up on the genre pages, and when someone DOES stumble across your page it looks super unprofessional. Good Luck!Ā 
Now hereā€™s my Dillyhub page(s):
Tumblr media
You donā€™t get a static banner and one icon, you get a whole carousel banner with as many images as you want front and center as soon as you get to the project page. You get seven (custom!) genre tags, as opposed to Webtoonā€™s single tag you have to pick from their list, and plenty of room to talk about your work. The episodes are even laid out better, you get a MUCH bigger preview space to work with and theyā€™re nice and big on the bottom half of the page:
Tumblr media
you know, like theyā€™re actually presenting ART lmfao.
Thatā€™s already an ENORMOUS improvement, but hereā€™s my favorite thing.
Tumblr media
o hm thatā€™s a lot of super cushy settings I have for every individual episode, but whatā€™s that, Episode Type?
Tumblr media
LIKE.
listen, i know this is probably a bit specialized if youā€™re not a comic maker yourself, but this is a HUGE DEAL. You can post vertically OR page by page! You can even post pages two at a time for double page spreads, or so they read like a physical comic book! AND their specs are really open, as long as the file meets the size requirement you can make it whatever shape you want. You donā€™t have to reformat all your shit to post here!! I posted the entire first volume of KC STRAIGHT FROM THE PRINT FILES in like half an hour!!! The episodes can also be any amount of pages, you can post a single page or an entire chapter all in one go!
So thatā€™s just the project page for the comic, letā€™s see what happens when I click on my username there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Each author gets their own unique page (which you can tack a vanity url to!) to present themselves however they want! You always have the banner at the top, but beyond that you have a ton of options. Among other incredibly useful tools that really should just be bare fucking minimum at this point, like the ability to preview your page on different devices, you start customizing your blank page with this set of widgets,
Tumblr media
and from THERE you can customize them MORE, you can promote your patreon or your kickstarter or whatever! Having this creator space ALSO means that if you run several comics, or if you want to promote your comic AND your illustrations, you can just separate them into individual projects! Each with their own page! This is also really nice as a reader because you can subscribe to a creator but you can also just subscribe to specific projects, if you donā€™t want to get ALL of their stuff in your inbox. Itā€™s so good yā€™all hh.
Once again, all of this functionality is just THERE as soon as you make your account. You donā€™t need to be ā€œpartneredā€ or whatever the fuck, you donā€™t need to meet a certain follower threshold to unlock the ability to operate normally. You get your own creator space to present yourself how you prefer, you get pages for all your projects, you can even set up monetization options (and change them for individual pages IN a project) right from the start.
ok ok letā€™s compare this to my webtoon page
Tumblr media
oh thatā€™s right webtoon just puts your greyed out name at the bottom of each comic and thatā€™s it because human beings donā€™t make this stuff, my bad lol anyway
Other fun shit that Dillyhub does that makes me feel like theyā€™re people who have actually consumed or made comics on the internet at some point in their lives:
-When you log into the ā€œstudioā€ space, youā€™re in your creator account. When you log OUT of the studio space, itā€™s like you swap to a ā€œreaderā€ account, where you can access your pull list and comment on things with a different name and profile icon. Again, maybe only cool if youā€™re a creator, but if you ARE then you know exactly why this is incredibly useful lmao
-You can set up ā€œhiddenā€ projects, so if you only want certain things to be accessible by certain people or to not show up in searches thatā€™s an option! You have SO much control here itā€™s great.
-The comment section has moderation options GODDD. You also have a real comment space, you know, so it actually encourages building a community (and a rapport with your community, if you like), and you also can just turn comments off entirely if you want! I havenā€™t used it much yet, obviously, but itā€™s been made very clear in the discord that artists want better control over their comment sections and the devs have it on their priority list.
-Absolutely every step of customization gives you a preview before itā€™s live, so you can easily see what these images youā€™re posting in different places are going to look like before you beam them to your followersā€™ inboxes. This includes individual episodes!
-This was sort of in one of the screenshots but itā€™s important so Iā€™m saying it here too: the option to mark individual episodes as mature or with content warnings, rather than having to mark an entire comic as Mature Spooky Scary Content because of one or two pages getting a bit hairy.
This site is only in alpha right now, and itā€™s invite-only until they get to beta (for creators; anyone can make a reader account! but they havenā€™t set up a way to browse comics without direct links yet so) but honest to god itā€™s already blowing every other site Iā€™ve used clean out of the water. And the staff has been really kind and responsive to us proposing fixes or changes! I will always defend individual websites as being the best option for an indie comic, but everybodyā€™s gotta start somewhere and we NEED something that isnā€™t Tumblr or Webtoon to fill this role; this site feels a lot more like a symbiotic relationship than any of the other staples available for new creators right now. If youā€™re a comic reader and you want to see your favorite comics on Dillyhub Iā€™d suggest keeping an eye on this site and once itā€™s live start poking them to look into it, and if youā€™re a creator follow their social media and hop in when they open up for anybody to join. I would LOVE to see this site take off as a viable option for hosting and reading comics.
Thanks for reading all this! I havenā€™t quite finished setting up yet, but if you want to poke around a project/creator page for yourself mine is here have at it. As things progress Iā€™m sure Iā€™ll have more to say, but since Iā€™m usually so aggressively negative about places like this I just wanted to give some credit where it was due. fucking finally.

TFATWS episode 1 rewatch commentary
The first scene was so beautiful. I loved that we didn't start directly with the fight sequence. It feels way closer to the quiet beginning of CATWS and I love it so much.
The title is also SO NEAT, music's on point too but hey itā€™s Henry Jackman the one thing Iā€™m sure itā€™s going to be great overall is the score.
The choreography is AMAZING, really well shot. Sam shielding himself with only one wing was MA-JES-TIC.
ā€œWHAT'S UPā€ EXACTLY SAM EXACTLY
I did feel so uncomfortable in regards to the military aspect of it. Not that I was expecting anything else, but both here and in Captain Marvel the military we're good guys < 3 propaganda is so blatant and ugh:/ At least there wasnā€™t a literal recruitment spot like with CM.Ā 
The yellow filter in the Tunisia scene BYE please stop with the yellow filters 2k21
"I've been working with the Air Force for six months now" So, did Sam even catch a break at all after Endgame? Or did he just throw himself to work like SOMEONE did after being iced for 70 years. Hmmm? Sam????
"Essentially, these people, they want a world that's unified without borders" OH NO! HOW AWFUL, how evil of these bad guys smh
Joaquin: SO about Steve
Sam: :)))))) nope
"Moon stuff" SAAAM
#1 cry with Sam's speech, full on chills.. Fuck. Me. His voice about to break before saying thank you bYE.
Shady politician: "It was the right decision" (FUCKKKKK YOUUU)
Rhodey: *press any key to doubt *
I need someone to analyze the different curation of the two exhibits pretty please
NOT THE PHOTO POST-AZZANO JFC. That photo is my weakness, Bucky sweetie (also I find hilarious that usually when there are articles about Stucky and/or #givecaptainamericaaboyfriend they aaaalways use that photo LMAO)
In case someone wants to read the transcription of the texts about Bucky: "In 1944, while on a mission to thwart a Hydra weapon transport in the Alps, Barnes was thrown from a train and believed to have been killed in action. It wasn't until 2014, over seventy years later, that it was revealed that Barnes was alive, having been found by Hydra operatives. Captain America himself (i can't read) the effort to bring Barnes in only to later aid in a escape from custody having been convinced of his innocence. Steve's loyalty to his old friend, coupled with his refusal to sign the Sokovia Accords, led to the dissolution of the Avengers and drove the Captain into hiding with other like-minded Avengers including Natasha Romanoff, Wanda Maximoff, and Sam Wilson. The current whereabouts of Barnes remains unknown, habing been labeled a fugitive following his escape from custody."
"current wherabout unknown" but not the government, interesting. Also, pretty good summary of CACW from the public's perspective, although one of the things I always wanted to see explored was the public's reaction of the fallout of them going into hiding after Civil War (which I'm hoping we'll get to see a little bit of in Black Widow).
Interesting point about the 70 years without having Captain America. Clearly the sacrifice play wasn't enough this time to fuel the nationalism so they went with a squeaky clean John Walker instead.
Sam saying the shield belongs to Steve I'm going to cry now excuse me. Sam. Sam sweetie.
The No. 1 Captain America comic in the display ugH fuck yes
See this is how you do a cameo that has actual meaning. Thank god for Malcolm Spellman being a competent writer. That scene was so well written.
HAVE YOU PRAISED ANTHONY MACKIE'S PERFORMANCE TODAY?? Holy shit that last shot fucked me up.
I'm loving the use of the wide shots, especially in the flashback. The camera movements are in synch with The Soldier's state of mind and mission focus, so good.
EVERYONE STAND UP FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM aka The Winter Soldier theme composed by Henry Jackman.
Without a doubt the most brutal TWS fight scene there has been, People involved in Punisher and John Wick are involved in this and it SHOWS.Ā 
For the record, still stands that the only time we've seen him chocking someone with his right hand instead of the metal arm remains the Maria Stark assasination. I know it's probably because of blocking and the way the shot was composed but the implications are still bone chilling. God.
Uhhmmmm I'm very ambivalent about the "Hail Hydra". On one hand, it was 100% fanservice and the internet is probably going to go insane over it, and the dead way Sebastian Stan delivered the line. Good shit. Buuut what I love about CATWS is the way Bucky never, ever ever, mouths Hydra rethoric, and even when Pierce tries to gaslight him with it, it's just an empty effort. The Winter Soldier isn't doing anything because of ideological loyalty to Hydra, even if it's product of brainwashing, it's just sheer dehumanization. They donā€™t need him to say the words because heā€™s just An Asset. There are people who have put it more eloquently but yeah, I rather go with the fanon interpretation of that aspect.
The music growing louder with the shot of the keys. GOD.
I'm fine this is fine.
#2 cry with the therapy scene of fucking course.
The government monitoring Bucky is noooot going to end well lmao.
"We need to know that you're not gonna * slowmo stabbing motions *
Bucky: * nodding along slowly *Ā 
I laughed out loud.
"It's passive agressive" I love him.
The way this scene just sucker punched me in the face, made me weep and then had me cracking up. Amazing.
Therapist: You can't do anything illegal
Bucky: yup yup check checkity check. What IS considered illegal tho?
*aggresive tablet finger pressing *
"Then why isn't it rule number one?" Bucky your Steve is showing.
I love the close up shot. I'll keep saying it. It's so good.
"I'm James Bucky Barnes" yeah you arešŸ„ŗ
That smile is nightmare fuel LMFAO I love it.
Uhm the way I'm kinning Bucky it's not funny anymore damn
That whole ā€œare you lashing out at meā€ rambling is really reminiscent of the bar scene in CATFA and how he lashed out at Steve after Peggy left. Uhm yeah fuck.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" "Peace"
"That is UTTER BULLSHIT" "You're a terrible shrink"
yeah ugly crying to ugly laughing speedrun for me
"You're free" "To do what?" jesus. That entire scene. #3 and #4 and #5 cries for moi.
Ugh that Brooklyn shot. Someone needs to do a gifset compairing it to the one in CATFA asap.
"It's like Monique but it's got a "U" in there for uniqueness" "That's absurd" LMAO
"You can't keep fighting with your neighbors" uHM * redacted redacted i'm shifting into 1940s mode abort abort *
"Nobody passed 90" "So young. Such a shame" FGADHGA
šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ yes flex those flirting skills good for you
"It's a dance to this things. You can'tā€¦ you gotta warm up and I haven't danced since 1943. Feels like." #6 cry I completely broke down into tears with that.
This Yori storyline is going to punch me in the face with a metal fist. Great!
The TWS theme when he looks at Yori fuuuuuck.
GREAT LET'S GO TO LOUISIANA THAT WAS GETTING HEAVY.
Those shots of Sam in the car. Immaculate. Showstoping. Yes.
Marvel, what if instead of promoting the military industrial complex you put a lot of publicity about cars?
"Uncle Sam!" LMAO subtle.
Everyone trying to have the wings lmao same.
I've only had Sarah for a day but etc. Brooklyn 99 meme
Good mirroring about Steve and Sam family's legacy. Good shit. Goooood shit.
Sam is trying so hard ouch my heart. I can't imagine how painful the scene with them reuniting must have been. He 100% still feels a lot of guilt about being gone for those 5 years (and even longer before that).
"Maybe it is time for us to move on" uuuuuuuuuuh
"To the rescue" "Always" šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ i love them so much already
That shot outside the restaurant is so beautiful. Can't wait to see the night scenes in Madripoor tbh.
"I tried the whole online dating thing. It's pretty crazy". Uhm well that is something that Bucky Barnes has now said. In canon. Damn.
"It's a lot" "You sound like my dad" LMAO
Every Bucky fanfic trope speedrun with this scene
"Wow you really can drink" OH you have no idea
Just realized we don't even know her name, well.
"You have any siblings?" "I have a sister" THE WAY I SCREECHED. We're definitely getting Becca
Well that escalated quickly. The important thing is to try?
I can't deal with this BUCKY SWEETIE #8 cry right there fuck
The wardrobe department is KILLING IT, there's such a difference between the outfits of the shows vs how ugly and generic it usually is.
"ThEre is NO such thiNg as on time. You're either EARLY or LATE . picK One" lmao the way he delivered that line
At first I thought the flag smashers had thrown two cars out of a window LMAO
"I don't know how jurisdiction works here, but I'mma have to place you under arrest" uhm yikes. The way they changed JoaquĆ­n Torres backstory to just random army nice guy #1 is not sitting well with me, what can I say.
Sam's wings motions I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR
Fuuuuck this guy.
"Funny how thing's always thighten around us" "Look, I'm on your side. After all, he's a hero". This script is C R I S P as hell, great fucking job.
"I don't care, I'm not gonna quit" "What are you trying to prove? And who you trying to prove it to" SHIT HSIT SHIT!!! UGH amazing. Look it's not necessary to say the show's questions out loud but how they flow between the conversations is still very satisfactory without feeling in your face about it. Inner conflicts have been set up fucking perfectly everyone * claps *
Ugh here we fucking go. Ā I knew this was how the episode was going to end but my stomach still dropped like a rollercoster. God.
The score is on point. Damn. Damn.
God, Sam.šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
The captain america franchise's visuals in the credits are always so amazing.
Also, does anybody know why Mackie isn't first in the billing? Ā Uhm what's that about?
ANYWAY CONCLUSION THAT EPISODE WAS SO FUCKING GOOD LIKE HOLY SHIT. I love them so much. The balance between the personal conflicts and the political aspect (although the military aspect is still very much yikes) was on point and it was overall a joy to watch.

How much can you tell about a fan from how much they like Raimi Spidey
Who you are based on your Raimi Spider-Man opinion:
1. The best Spider-Man adaptation! You donā€™t like new things and donā€™t adapt to change well. Youā€™re probably an older Millennial or Gen X. You respect an iconic scene and cheesy drama and donā€™t retract your enjoyment of something when the pressure is on you to do so. You like adaptations of superheroes more than the comics.
2. The most comic-accurate Spider-Man adaptation! You have never read a comic these films were based on. You may have never read any comics. You read or heard this opinion somewhere and are parroting it, and may think you can verify itā€™s true because you read one Avengers issue from after 2002 where Peter Parker cameos. You have high potential to become a deep comic nerd someday who will be embarrassed you ever said this so watch out for that.
3. Revolutionary for its time, paved the way for later comic book films, pared down the source material out of necessity - respect without enthusiasm Youā€™re a little jaded but youā€™re trying not to let it get you down. Youā€™ve gained immunity to MCU hype. You were happier before you did, but you can never go back. Analyzing fiction is second nature to you.
4. I just hate them Toby McGuire is consciously on your list of celebrities who could not get it. You turn over interests fast and see disliking things as its own activity, a dark mirror of fandom. You have strong negative opinions of properties you have not personally checked out and youā€™re happy that way because dissing stuff with people makes for good conversation.
5. Must a movie be ā€œgoodā€ to like it? Is it not enough to have colors moving on the screen very fast. I respect you. Youā€™re the better timeline version of the first category. Self aware and witty, a little insecure.
6. Theyā€™re bad because [thirty minute list of flaws] Wow youā€™ve thought about these movies a lot. You like review and analysis series like CinemaSins. (You may have a flaw list for CinemaSins specifically: Itā€™s just an example.) Possibly an aspiring writer. Youā€™re very plugged into pop culture and it doesnā€™t really occur to you to avoid media just because you donā€™t think itā€™s good.
7. I liked the first two when they were newer but they didnā€™t age well. Your persona is very go with the flow, not very opinionated. You consume media casually. In school you liked whatever bands your classmates did.
8. I have a soft spot for them but the effects are bad. You like MCU Spidey. You overestimate how empathetic and discerning you are. You donā€™t judge quickly but you do judge heavily.
9. I canā€™t hear you thereā€™s only room for one Spider-Man movie in my brain WHATā€™S UP, DANGER?
10. The third one ruined the whole trilogy! THATā€™S what ruined it for you? Youā€™re not wrong but your taste is unreliable.
11. I love [ship]! Youā€™re very resilient. The weird kid. You glom onto stuff you like and donā€™t let go. Natural resilience to acting because of peer pressure, though you can take emotional hits from it. Probably internet friends with the three other people as deeply invested in this version of this ship as you are. Excitable in both positive and negative senses. You still use ff.net a lot. Above average vintage and otherwise lesser known comic knowledge but your attention is divided. The rare media targeting you is the 2017 cartoon if youā€™re a Parksborn and the Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane comic series if youā€™re a PeterMJ.
12. Uh I saw one or two in theaters? I donā€™t really remember them. You only read this list this far down because you like seeing people discuss their pet topics regardless of whether you understand them. May have to hit up a search engine to be sure what ā€œRaimiā€ is.
13. Directly responsible for a lot of bad 616 trends, weird storylines, and character assassination. Youā€™re a dyed in the wool comics nerd. Donā€™t get so mad you forget why you even like superhero comics. Go drink some water. You pirate media because capitalism canā€™t sustain how much you read.
14. Directly responsible for a lot of great 616 storylines!!!! Also a dyed in the wool comics nerd but all your favorite storylines are in the early aughts (and maybe late nineties), which was a formative time of your life. You like dropping niche comic trivia as talking points, also from this era. You not only actually go to comic shops but also have a pull list. Pour one out for the Ultimateverse amirite?
15. Peter sure turned into a giant spider and gave birth to himself because of this movie lmfao. You embrace the humor and weirdness in situations to stay sane. You know weird history or science facts and like to pepper them into conversation. Your ideal history rant is arranged to be reminiscent of that meme with the guy knocking over a giant domino with a row of successively smaller dominos. You feel the most enjoyable parts of comic community are online. You might be on Twitter. You could beat the above category in a trivia-off but would probably flub the execution due to being put off by them. You vibe with nihilism memes but you care just under the surface.
16. My blurry half-remembered impression of them isnā€™t negative Youā€™re nice. You like cute desserts. I feel like you had an anime phase and go to cons.
17. Garfield Spider-Man sucks!!!!!! Thatā€™s not actually a Raimi opinion but you think it is. Low humor is just humor to you and you donā€™t see that as a problem.
18. Iā€™ve been waiting for you to PRAISE the Amazing movies actually? You like Taylor Swift and would be super down for it if Kindred turned out to be Gwen Stacy. Youā€™ve been screaming for years. You donā€™t like the Raimi films but donā€™t have time to get down on them while defending your own maligned property. You know Fant4stic was objectively not great but youā€™ll defend it. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield live in your head rent free. You like to curl up and watch some good looking people having a tragic romance okay.
19. Spider-Man 3 is a cinematic masterpiece. You like shock humor and stoke attention from internet trolls on purpose. You discern your own opinions and donā€™t give a damn about anybody elseā€™s.
20. Iā€™m very two cakes meme about Spider-Man content! Raimi good! MCU good! Webb good! All the cartoons are good! I see a red mask and a thwip and I riot. A pure soul. I donā€™t understand you, but that doesnā€™t reflect well on me.

do share your thoughts on the SnK final chapter and ending if you read it! <3
OKAY!! Here are just some of my thoughts, none of which are uniform lmaooo and are subject to change if I think about it long enough <22 lots of stuff I havenā€™t completely figured out or reconciled with yet, but here we goĀ 
Erenā€™s death
I wanted him to die, and one way or another, he was destined to die; so this is kind of the ending I asked for.Ā 
I wanted him to die for a few reasons, most of which revolve around my desire for him to finally rest and not have to shoulder all the burdens that have been put on him for any longer. So, his death definitely did that for me, and I wouldnā€™t change it.Ā 
BUT it was heartbreaking to see that, for once, he genuinely did not want to die, and wanted to have time to spend with Mikasa after everything. Eren has asked to die multiple times in the past, and his death was inevitable at some point in time; so to see that in his final moments, he finally said/realized he didnā€™t want to go made it so bittersweet.Ā 
The thing Iā€™m happiest about the most is that he achieved his original goal: to kill all the titans. As a titan himself, he was always a part of that plan, so, again Iā€™m okay with his death. But itā€™s a twisted, beautiful sort of tragedy that in wanting to kill himself to achieve his dream, he found a sense of personhood that made him think life was worth living [even if his goal wasnā€™t achieved].Ā 
Another important reason I believed he needed to/should have died is because I didnā€™t want him to have to suffer at the hands of any other government or empire again. Even if none of the shit with Marley or the other nations happened, and he found away toĀ ā€œfreeā€ everyone without murder, the government of Paradis wouldnā€™t have trusted him. They never really did.Ā 
Eren has been locked up and/or under constant supervision since he was 15. And when he wasnā€™t, itā€™s because he was kidnapped and somebody else was preying on his death. Even when he desperately pleaded to help and showed that he wanted to use his titan to help, he was treated like a criminal, and less than human.
You canā€™t... you canā€™t treat a kid like that and expect him to turn out normal šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ or to not want to go to extremes, or to become a pacifist, or to spinelessly hand over his own life and ambitions. (Honestly... think he should have started with murking a few people in Wall Sina, but whatever šŸ™„)
This is all to say, that if he continued to live, free of the 13 year curse, he wouldnā€™t have been free in any nation. He probably would have been executed, or at the very least, locked up until he died. So, Iā€™m happy that he was able to die at his own hand (and Mikasaā€™s, too).Ā 
Erenā€™s character
I obviously still love his character, and I donā€™t think his actions in the final season ruined him for way. Thereā€™s a lot to come to terms with, but I like that about him. Iā€™ll work through all the details one day, and Iā€™m okay with that. In fact, I donā€™t think Eren even ever got the chance to figure himself out independent of his titan.
His secret keeping was questionable, but not out of character. Heā€™s always ruminated until he figures something out, or gets stuck and needs helpā€”heā€™s always had the whole thing about doing everything on his own.Ā 
Until that one conversation with him, Mikasa, and Armin after the fight with Jean in s3. Iā€™d always read that as him beginning to understand that he didnā€™t have to everything on his own, and that he was going to be relying on his friends from thereon out. But, sometimes, I feel like that realization got erased...? I donā€™t know, maybe the more I think about it, the more itā€™ll make sense, but thatā€™s one part Iā€™m still working through.Ā 
The only other thing I didnā€™t understand is how he got so smart LMAOOO. His plan and actions required quite a bit of thought, foresight, and sacrifice that heā€™s never really shown before; at least not to this degree. Like I said though, if you factor in how his was treated, and how his life always had an expiration date, it begins to make sense why he was so quick and insistent to act, so itā€™s not completely out of left field for meā€”and I could even make the argument that he wasnā€™t really that smart and was just as impulsive (ish) and hot-headed as heā€™s always been; but like I said, Iā€™m still figuring it out. Not sure what it was that awakened his braincells but Iā€™ll get there LMAOOO
Eren + Mikasa
Fuck yā€™all I like Eremika goodnight. I canā€™t help it, Iā€™m a simple bitch: I see childhood friends to lovers, and I fold. You should too smh.
I... donā€™t think the little cottagecore timeline from 138 was out of character for either of them. I see the arguments that it was, and thatā€™s cool, but I see it as something very real and plausible.Ā 
Eren showed that he did all of this to ensure that even if he couldnā€™t bring peace to the whole world, at the very least, he could do his best to make sure his friends live long, happy lives. An alternate way for that would have been to give Mikasa the opportunity to spend his remaining years with him.Ā 
Eren has always done his best Mikasa and Armin, even if his methods seemed harsh or apathetic. The way I see it, running away with Mikasa in his final year is not only becoming and telling of the kind of friend/person his is, but it would have been his way to atone for being an idiot and not acting upon his feelings [in a more traditional sense] earlier.
He knew either way it was too late, but he also knew that he owed herā€”and himselfā€”even a piece of peace before it all ended, whichever way it was going to end. And I think thatā€™s a part of Erenā€™s character thatā€™s often overlooked.Ā 
Mikasaā€™s ending
I think that Eren ultimately killed himself, but itā€™s undeniable that Mikasa helped, and Iā€™m glad she did. If Eren was going to die by anybodyā€™s hands, I wanted it to be Mikasaā€™s or Leviā€™s.Ā 
I think Levi would have been symbolic, given his speech in the courtroom in s1, about how killing Eren is the best he could do, and that there was no in-between. But Iā€™m happy with Mikasa doing it too, because, in a way, I think she ended up being able to do the one thing Levi didnā€™t have the physical strength left to do. I also like it as far as Mikasaā€™s relationship with Levi goes; she kind of becomes him in this complicated way, and it shows how far theyā€™ve come in terms of trust. Theyā€™re a pretty good team.Ā 
I donā€™t see why anyone would give her shit for sitting at Erenā€™s gravestone. It had been only three years since he died, and regardless of the amount of time that had passed, if it was the anniversary of his death, thatā€™s a perfectly normal thing to do...? So many people hate her for being in love Eren and I donā€™t get it. Sheā€™s just mourning, and sheā€™s well within her rights to do so.Ā 
Actually, I think that Mikasa being shown to have loved and mourned for Eren so outwardly were the most profound displays of bravery in this whole series.Ā 
It takes so much courage to love, especially in her world, but Mikasa has never shied away from it. I would even go so far as to argue that she is the character with the strongest sense of self and self-worth. I donā€™t think people realize how much it takes to know anything about yourself that assuredlyā€”so many characters are left with unanswered questions about their world, themselves, and their place in itā€”but Mikasa has always known that she loves Eren.Ā 
Thatā€™s an insanely hard thing to know and to do. And she wasnā€™t blind about it either, nor did she believe her love was unconditional (and if she gets shit for having hope for Eren, then so should Armin, but we know why he doesnā€™t get the same heat for it). She heard out the concerns of her friends, she let go of the scarf, and she killed him in the end.Ā 
I would have liked to see her talk to Kiyoomi again, and perhaps see her being associated with that nation/country/whatever it was. But sheā€™s still thee baddest bitch and the best girl.Ā 
Levi
WE IN THIS BITCH!! WE ABSOLUTELY IN THIS BITCH!!Ā 
ROUND OF APPLAUSE LADIES AND GAYS AND THEYS FOR THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND HIMSELF!!Ā 
If he died, I would have rioted. On god.Ā 
This is the EXACT ending I wanted for him. Iā€™m so happy that he gets time to rest knowing that none of his decision were in vain; and that he shouldnā€™t regret anything he did.
l know the wheelchair was literal in the sense that he was injured, but I also think itā€™s metaphorical in that he no longer has to standing on his own two feet, and carry everyone on his back. For once, for fucking once, he can literally sit back and read a fucking book in peace.Ā 
Also Gabi and Falco taking care of him is so fucking cute, I loved that so, so, so much.Ā 
Others
I donā€™t think Hange needed to die, goodbye. I get why they did, and Iā€™m glad they went out in a way they wanted do, but that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m happy about it BYE.Ā 
Pieck is far too sexy for her titan to have been that ghastly. Porco, too. Speaking of Porcupine, I fucking love him. I didnā€™t think I would like him this much, but I do, and now I miss him.Ā 
When did Connie get so s*xy
I stand by the belief that this wouldnā€™t have happened with Erwin aroundā€”and for the worse. Yes, I think Hange waited longer than they should have to act; but I understand they were overwhelmed, and had a lot of responsibility, and regret, clouding over them.Ā 
That being said, I think Erwin would have been 10x worse LMFAO with all his secret keeping and mystery. With all the shit going on, all the information being revealed to Paradis, and with Erenā€™s own secret keeping, I donā€™t think Erwinā€™s character and way of planning would have been conducive the new environment. RIP tho Erwin, you a legend for the shit you did, big ups on that my guy.Ā 
I... guys, I like Reiner. Like, a lot. What goes on.Ā 
I still hate H*storia and I think she caused a lot of problems that could have been resolved relatively quickly if she leftĀ šŸ˜šŸ˜Ā  yeah, yeah, girl power or whatever, but I donā€™t like it. I donā€™t like her. Bye.Ā 
I have more thoughts on Marley and the other nations, but thatā€™s a whole separate rant that I will spare you from for nowĀ

OP!Anon for Leverage!HX/LQG: *SCREAM* oh I adore how you wrote this - HX is so good at reading everyone and understanding how to motivate/manipulate them, except for lqg. I love how angry he got at the idea of lqg seeing him in the same light as swd, and also how lqg's just like, yep, swd's gotta die when he heard the full story. I love the idea of HC coming in like the king he is and laying down the law about XL. ahhhhhhh!!!! just imagining hx and lqg getting close after lots of shenanigans!
Tumblr media
teamwork baby
"Xue Yang must die" is literally one of my favorite WWX quotes of all time LMFAO time to pay homage
so you know how in book 3, during the Black Water arc, HX is there trying to push his whole scheme forward? It's well-timed, well-thought-out, but the only fucking spanner that keeps jumping back into his work is XL-and-therefore-HC? Yeah I imagine working with grifter!HC is pretty much like that. He's always late or never shows up at all to briefings, or he shows up to the very end to hear the conclusion and goes "Nope, that's fucking stupid, change it." SQQ's like "Why??" and HC's like "oh, lil boy can't figure it out?"
and whenever they have an actual plan going, HC sometimes just shows up and starts doing his own thing in the middle and forces HX to keep up. This is often motivated by one of XL's jobs, and XL would ask if HC knows a little piece of intel, and HC would be like "oh you know what, I actually have a hostage right here to ask about that, one moment please :)" and utterly prioritize XL's thing. HX has to change the job on the fly so many times, and it's so fucking annoying, but it's not like HC leaves him at a dead end, so he always does find a way out.
(this got fucking long, but HX/LQG under the cut)
Bingliushen are also annoyed as fuck, but while they're godtier at their own things, none of them are mastermind-level (yetā€”Binghe's gonna get there, isn't he), so they just have to put their faith in HX and keep chugging forward. This is how the foundation builds, y'know? HX insists to both others and himself that he's being honest and faithful to his team because that's just the best way to handle them, not 'cause he's actually a team player and not 'cause he cares for anybody at all. And LQG's a simple guyā€”you save my life, I'll save yours. You act in good faith, I'll be loyal in turn.
It starts with something small. HX's suffered tremendous loss, and has been on his own for a very, very long time. He's used to taking care of himself, but we all know LQG's love language is "here, you dropped this. I've been quietly paying attention to everything you like and do, no big deal." So maybe it happens on a mission. HC has three marks to dupe in succession, and they're playing a nasty Big Pharma group, so it's hitting close to home for HX. At the last minute though, HC says over the comm, "the CEO & CFO made me. Must've recognized me from speaking to the secretary earlier. He Xuan."
"Can you still do the COO?"
"I'm not about to waste this outfit, am I."
and HX has to hop in and do 2/3rds of the grifting himself, which is fine, he's completely capable of this, he's a goddamn prodigy at hiding his murderous tendencies. but out of nowhere LQG is on the line, "Shen Qingqiu, you said you can hack the finances, right?"
"Yes, but nothing else."
"Then He Xuan doesn't have to talk to the CFO. Give me 2 minutes, I'll knock him out."
and HX doesn't stop him because sure, why not? It was more efficient for HC to do three of them at once, but now that it was HX doing it (and HX still has his own part to play), it would save them more effort if LQG goes for the blunt force solution. But it rubs HX the wrong wayā€”what the fuck? Yeah, HX may not like grifting as much as HC, the stupid drama queen, but hasn't he proven himself every bit as capable of it? Why did LQG think it necessary to, what, bail him out?
So that night, after debrief, HX pulls LQG aside to give him a piece of his mind. "Don't ever try to override my judgment again." "What are you talking about?" "I made a call, I did not need your 'help' on the grift." "That wasn't help." "Then what was it." "You hate talking to guys like that!" "???" "You didn't need to talk to him, and I was right there. It was the obvious thing to do."
and HX still doesn't get it, not until the next day, when SQQ and HX are quietly setting up for the morning, and SQQ says out of the blue, "that's just how he cares. Liu Qingge, I mean. It's never an ego thing once he's your friend."
"I don't need friends," is HX's automatic response.
"No," SQQ snorts in agreement. "You need revenge. That's fine. Then I'm sure he'll get over it."
Whichā€”okayā€”no? Bastard. That's just a passive aggressive attempt at a guilt trip, and it's not going to work. HX has already made it abundantly clear from the get-go that this was simply a job, he was the pointman, once they were done everybody will go on their way. It's not his fault SQQ dragged in a hitman with the loyalty instincts of a german shepherd, and it's certainly none of his business whether LQG treats him as friend or a colleague.
LQG will just have to be disappointed.
BUT OF COURSE WHAT GOES ON TO HAPPEN IS THAT HX sees more and more of the things LQG does, the ways LQG manages to be thoughtful. The way LQG handles visitors during HXā€™s mealtimes despite how much LQG hates talking to randos, bc HX has bad food days and canā€™t really stand eating with others. The time they had some time to kill undercover in a consultantā€™s office, and HX passed the time by pointing out all the things wrong with the officeā€™s mini-aquarium set-up, so when SQQ brought up something inane about decorating their headquarters, LQG made HX draw up specs for a saltwater tank of their own. HX and everybody else kept insisting it was a waste of time, but LQG still went ahead and got it made anyways, and now itā€™s HXā€™s favorite thing in the entire HQ.
But HX wasnā€™t about to owe anybody anything. If LQG insists on this game, then fine, HX was going to play to win. He requisitions new toys (read: weapons) for LQG, he builds heists around the sole purpose of giving LQG a room of satisfying bad guys to beat up, he goes to the gym and spars with LQG, he even tries to give LQGā€™s weirdly famous younger sisterā€™s novel a readā€”which was a lot. Ahem. But LQG loves his younger sister, so surely this would be the ultimateĀ ā€œhah! Iā€™ve given you more than youā€™ve given me! I win! move.
...turns out LQGā€™s never read the damn thing, and just takes everything HX gives him in total stride.Ā ā€œWe still on for tomorrow?ā€Ā ā€œ...Yes.ā€Ā ā€œCool. See you.ā€ And HXā€™s over here totally overthinking EVERYTHING while LQGā€™s just chilling, super matter-of-fact.
Fuck, were they friends???
HX rage-panics, because he does. not. need. friends. And it has nothing to do with how everyone heā€™s ever loved dies, it has nothing to do with the careful balance of vengeful fury and self-hatred inside him thatā€™s about to tip over any day now, once they take down SWD. It has nothing to do with HX being too traumatized and grief-stricken to imagine moving on from revenge, to ever imagine being simply contentĀ again.
His eating habits get worse. One day he snaps at LQG for pining so much after SQQ.Ā ā€œYou already know heā€™s never going to return your feelings. Itā€™s embarrassing to watch you insist on giving so much when heā€™s not going to giveĀ anythingĀ back.ā€
ā€œShut up,ā€ LQG snaps,Ā ā€œitā€™s not about getting anything back.ā€
But that makes it worse. Of course HX wasnā€™t actually talking about SQQ, though sure, thatā€™s annoying too. LBh obviously knows, so why canā€™t they take their infernal flirting somewhere private, instead of flaunting it in front of LQG all the time?? But the faultā€™s with LQG too, what with all the giving. He should find someone more worthy of his affections and stop wasting his time here.
HX cuts everything he and LQG has built up in one fell swoopā€”completely gives him the cold shoulder. Only ever talks about work, no more dry quips, no more infodumps on niche hobbies. HX wishes he could destroy the tank at HQ, but that would be way too confrontational at this stage.
Until one mission, when LQG knowsĀ HX isĀ not in a good place, and keeps trying to argue HX out of doing something excessively risky. HX rounds on him and says,Ā ā€œyouā€™re just a hired gun, so shut up and shoot where I'm pointing, or you can pack your things and get out.ā€
LQG goes red, then white, and storms away.
ā€œNice sucker punch,ā€ HC comments idly where heā€™s lounging on the side. Who knows when the fuck he showed up.Ā ā€œRight where it hurts.ā€
ā€œWhat are you talking about?ā€
ā€œDonā€™t tell me you donā€™t know. His five-year stint with the Sha City Demons?ā€
Of course HX knows about that. Heā€™s looked thoroughly into everybodyā€™s backgrounds. But what does that have to do with this?
ā€œGege isĀ the best at this, after all. See you and I, we stopped asking questions once we knew the name, because we donā€™t think people are ever as pure and good as they pretend to be. But you know what Dianxia said, after I mentioned Liu Qinggeā€™s old gig to him?Ā ā€˜Five years, hm? I wonder what they had on him. In my experience, men like Liu Qingge donā€™t work for crews like the Sha Demons. And in order to sink their claws deeper into men like him, the Demons always make them do the worst jobs.ā€™ Just a hired gun indeed.ā€
Thatā€™s right. LQG gets a Moreau backstory of his own. HX feels his heart sink to the pit of his stomach.
ā€œFuck.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t know why youā€™re so stressed out about it. He is just a hired gunā€”ā€
ā€œYou knowĀ why. Fuck.ā€
ā€œSo get out of my face and do something about it already. You know where heā€™s gone, I know youā€™ve put trackers on your entire team.ā€
ā€œ...ā€
ā€œYou didnā€™t? No, you didnā€™t put one on him? My god, you do care.ā€
While HCā€™s busy sounding disgusted, HX is reeling. He just sent the best hitman in the field packing, and was an absolute dick about it. He was not a kind man, but he also wasnā€™t a cruel one. He believes in fairness, and everything he said simply had not been fair. It had all been his own guilt and issues talking; if he really didnā€™t give a damn, then he wouldnā€™t have...done all this.
ā€œHow much are you willing to pay?ā€ HC says, swiping at his phone.
ā€œWhat?ā€
ā€œBecause I donā€™t trust any of you, and didĀ put a tracking device on Liu Qingge.ā€ He sure hasā€”HC is waving the loading tracking app in HXā€™s face.Ā ā€œSo Iā€™m asking, how much are you willing to pay?ā€
...And thatā€™s the reason why HX owes HC so much damn money.

You gotta scrub the fuck out ya hands, people. How many pounds do you want to lose? I'd rather not share a number, but a lot. Whatā€™s your favorite natural phenomenon? The Northern Lights. Do you snore? Very surprisingly for someone with sleep apnea like mine, I actually don't. How many people do you know with the same first name as you? Off the very top of my head, one, but it's spelled differently. I KNOW I know of a shitload more Brittanys, though. Is it possible you could be pregnant? Well, I haven't been intimate with a man in years and just finished my period, so like- Could you go a day without texting? I go most days without texting. Do you have a step-parent? My dad is remarried, so yes. If so, do you get along with them? She's EXTREMELY Christian, so her beliefs wildly disagree with mine, but I keep my mouth shut a lot just to keep the peace. She IS a very sweet woman, nevertheless, and am glad she and my dad are so happy together. Does your current/last job require that you wear a uniform? My last job (which lasted not even two hours lol) did. When will your driverā€™s license expire? My permit has been expired for like... two years. Do you live in an apartment? No. If the last person you kissed proposed to you what would you say? That's too wild a concept to even imagine. I'd probably ask if she was okay lmao. Would you ever get back with one of your exes? Weeeelp, I want to get back together with Girt. Pretty badly. Write a foreign word, and what it means: "Schadenfreude" is a German term that essentially means secondhand embarrassment, but it doesn't have a perfect translation. Is there an ex you think about everyday? Inevitably. That's PTSD, my friends. Who is the last person that you said I love you to, besides family members? Sara. What's the worst thing you have ever said to anyone? Something along the lines of "no one could ever love you like I do." It boils my blood just typing that; I considered even deleting this question. That quote right there is fucking manipulation, even IF I thoroughly believed it. Who was the last person to comment one of your pictures? I don't feel like looking. Do you tend to go for older or younger when looking for someone to date? It's weird, I'm into slightly older-than-me guys, but probably girls who are barely a bit younger than me. Have you ever been used? I don't think so. Have you ever not been able to get someone out of your head? Like I've said in plenty of surveys: Jason is probably a permanent fixture. But also as of the past two days, Girt's been living up there. I went from "hmmm I just don't know how I feel" to "FUCK I want to talk to him about how stupidly into him I am right this fucking INSTANT" pretty goddamn fast. It kinda scares me just because of how extreme my feelings are. Again. That's only ever gotten me hurt. Buuuut let's not get into that. Have you ever got caught cheating on a test? No, because I've never tried to. Will your next kiss be a mistake? I hope it won't be. But it's not like I know the future. Have you ever worn an oxygen mask? Actually yes, when I was young and thought I was having an asthma attack or something. Mom had one for her own asthma. Then I obviously wore one for surgery. What song do you want to be played at your funeral? "Paradise" by Coldplay is absolutely #1. How many swear words are in the song youā€™re listening to? I'm not listening to music; I'm back to watching Gab play Sekiro. What color was the last swimsuit you wore? Black. Have you ever kissed anyone of the same sex, and if so, who? Yeah, just Sara. Who did you last tell to ā€˜shut upā€™? Ha, I think my WoW friend Lyndsey, but only playfully, of course. We pick fun at each other all the time. Would you ever get a tattoo of a boyfriend/girlfriend's name? NOOOOOOOOO. Are you one of those girls who already have baby names picked out? I know what I'd name my kids IF I actually wanted any, yeah, but I don't. Do you think guys with long hair are attractive? Yessss, I love long hair on guys. Are any of your siblings taller than you? I think Ashley is a liiiiil bit taller? I know my brother is, for sure. Have you ever scared someone so badly that they cried? Yikes, no. When was the last time you wore high heels? Boy oh boy, no idea. Is there someone that you want to hurt right now? Jeez, no thanks. What was the most interesting or colorful birthday cake youā€™ve had? I don't remember, but I'm sure something from childhood. What was the last thing someone bought you? Was it expensive? Mom bought me food from McD's, which obviously isn't expensive. Do you have any interesting moles anywhere you donā€™t want people to know of? No. Have you ever gotten high or drunk in a really formal place? Strong "no" there. Do you ever write poetry and post it on any certain websites? On the very rare occasion I write poetry and actually like it, I'll sometimes post it on dA. What do you miss most about your childhood? Actually, genuinely having fun and not dealing with fucking anhedonia. Would you like to know the precise date of your future death? Hell no. Do you photograph well? I'd like to hope so. Are there any animals you flat out refuse to touch? Maggots and similar bug larvae. What super power would you refuse, if it was offered to you, and why? Mind reading. It just sounds... awful and overwhelming. Whatā€™s your favorite discontinued product that you wish would come back? Oh, I KNOW I have answers to this, just none are coming to me immediately and I don't feel like sitting here for five minutes thinking about it. If adults had show and tell, what would you bring into work? My snek! :') If you had a reset button for the last 10 years, would you press it? Tempting, but... I don't think I would. I cannot go through how deep my depression was again. Who is someone you would never swear in front of? My nieces and nephew. Yes, I don't believe in profanity being a "thing" and is just a stupid human fabrication, but nevertheless I acknowledge societal standards and expectations, and they're way too young to get when you shouldn't say something like that and why. Have you ever won a contest or competition? A few. Who is your favorite TV character? I don't think I really have one? Do you coo over other peopleā€™s babies? Not really, no. Sometimes I'll think they're super cute and be like "awww," but I don't like... squeal and spaz like some people do. What is something that makes you very squeamish? VOMIT. Has there been a celebrity death that really affected you? Steve Irwin got me deeper than anyone else. Chester Bennington hit real hard, too. If youā€™re out of high school, have you stayed in touch with your high school friends? If youā€™re still in school, do you think you will? Most of my closest ones, yes, at least via Facebook. Whatā€™s a movie that you want to see? Old movie, but Jacob's Ladder. It was a massive influence on Silent Hill, so naturally, I'll probably love it. It's a classic, anyway. Do you use the same username everywhere online or do you have a lot? I use "Ozzkat" in most places, but I do have some other ones for different sites. Who was the last person you know who became pregnant? My friend Ana recently revealed she's expecting her second child, a boy. What fad were you actually into? I have zero clue. Have you ever tailgated? Would you want to? Fuck no. That's how so many wrecks happen. My sister legit got in a wreck with an 18-wheeler mostly because she was tailgating (which she does BADLY); she was trying to pass, and he moved over at the same time because he couldn't see her coming around. It's a borderline miracle she got out with only some cuts, bruises, and a seatbelt burn. Have patience, people. Get off cars' asses. Why did you fall for the last person romantically? Look, don't get me started on this. There are a shitload of reasons and I have been way too emotional over this the past few days laksdfja;lwke Whatā€™s the last thing you had to eat? A bagel w/ cream cheese for breakfast. Do you ever pick up your house phone? We don't have a landline phone. Truth be told, are you more into looks or personalities the most? Personalities, for sure. I cannot be into you if your personality isn't attractive.

Sophie: Huh. Well, I hope that Iā€™m, I really hope Iā€™m not the violist because when I was little, my mum made me have lessons, and I was rubbish. I was completely rubbish. I can't play a note. Not a single note

Tara: Either I am in, or Ruth is out. It's your choice. (walks away)
Nate: They are gonna hate this.
[Leverage HQ]
Eliot: I hate this.
Hardison: You do not let Vicki Vale into the Batcave ever.
Nate: First, this is my home, not a cave. And, second, we're not gonna allow her up here.
Parker: Sophie would never approve. Call her.
Nate: We can't just keep calling Sophie.
Hardison: Oh, okay. I see how it is. We can't call her, but you can go off and have a little secret meeting with her.
Nate: Secret meeting? What are you talking about? I was in Harrisburg, researching a client.
Hardison: Wow, ā€˜cause you know what? (hits remote and pulls information up on monitor) Your passport got dinged going through Heathrow airport yesterday. Heathrow's in London. I guess you couldn't get a direct flight over to Harrisburg.
Eliot: Well, it's hard when you do the same-day booking.
Hardison: Yeah, 'cause you had to go with the -- Did you realize that London is the home of the most surveillance cameras in the world?
Parker: Really?
Hardison: Who feels like playing "where's Waldo"?

Eliot: Well, she's honest.
Hardison: Crusader. Incorruptible.
(Tara pulls up and gets out of her car)
Hardison: And one sexy librarian

- - - - -
we love to see parker in the vents
- - - - -
EVEN IN P R I S O N HARDISON GETS HIS ORANGE SODA

heā€™s so good at this I love it
- - - - -
(hiding behind a broken crate, Lind points a gun at Parker and Hardison. Eliot sees this as he approaches)
Eliot: Nate!
(Lind fires, shattering the passengerā€™s side window. Eliot runs forward, bends to pick up a rock, and throws it at Lind, hitting him in the head. He fires again, shooting out the tire as Nate runs around the car. Lind swings the gun at Eliot, who catches it. Lind punches Eliot in the stomach and Eliot hits Lind in the face with the gun. Eliot throws the gun down as Lind stumbles back for more)
Eliot: Come on!
(Lind swings, Eliot ducks and hits Lind in the ribs, then pushes him away. Lind turns around and swings but Eliot blocks his punches, grabbing him and throwing him to the ground. Lind gets up and looks at the gun. Eliot picks up the gun)
Eliot: You want this?
(Lind holds up his hands and moves away, running. Nate and Parker move out from behind the car. Eliot unloads the gun and tosses it aside)
when eliot sees the sniper and is terrified? when he manages to pick up a rock and nail the sniper in the face with it while running? his FURY when heā€™s fighting him? heā€™ll do anything to protect his family
- - - - -
(Eliot and Parker walk past a sunglasses vendor. Eliot bumps a table for a distraction and Parker grabs two pairs of sunglasses, handing one to Eliot)

- - - - -
(Eliot and Parker run through a hallway)
Parker: We're cut off. We're gonna have to get rough.
Eliot: I ain't hitting cops.
(a noise from behind has them looking back)
Parker: I look forward to seeing you explain that
remember that one commentary with john rogers where he said in this scene beth changed her lines/energy to more of a kinky vibe that made the scene that much better? because I do and boy was this scene charged with something interesting
- - - - -
Eliot: All right. Be cool.
(Eliot unloads the gun and catches the bullet)
Eliot: All right. Nothing's gonna happen to anybody. Just settle down.
(The officer raises a stun gun that Eliot knocks out of his hand and Parker catches)
Eliot: Youā€™re not using a stun gun either
(Eliot pushes the officer back and Parker points the stun gun at the officer)
Eliot: Hold on. Stop. Chill. All right? Nobody's gonna get hurt.
(another officer steps out behind Parker, his gun raised)
Officer: Drop it!
(Parker points the stun gun under her arm and hits the officer, knocking him down)
Eliot (to Parker): Seriously? What are you doinā€™?
Parker: Mmm.
Eliot (to officer): Listen, it's probably best if you pretend that you never saw us. Okay?
(Eliot and Parker move down the hall past the fallen officer. Parker triggers the stun gun again)
Eliot: Stop
parker loves tasing people and eliot is exhausted
- - - - -
Nate: Hey, Parker, forget about the hearing. I need you to do something else.
(Parker pulls files from the safe in Blanchardā€™s office, proudly kissing it)
SHES BABY YOUR HONOR
- - - - -
Blanchard: What the hell is this? Hey, you don't understand!
(the officers drag Blanchard to the exit)
Blanchard: These people are thieves! I donā€™t even think that oneā€™s a lawyer!
someone also make a compilation of their marks swearing theyā€™re not who they say they are. I just think itā€™s funny and chaotic
- - - - -
parker hardison and eliot all walk in together (TOGETHER)
also both parker and eliot are wearing flannel
- - - - -
Parker: I bet you're not even a lawyer.
Tara: Oh. Sophie was right. You are adorable.
Parker: Excuse me?
(Eliot, Parker and Hardison talk angrily at her for several moments as Nate reads whatā€™s in the envelope)
some highlights that I was able to hear from all of them talking over each other:
- Eliot: Donā€™t comment and say that kinda stuff. You donā€™t know us at all.
- Hardison: Woah, youā€™re overstepping here
- Parker: You donā€™t get to call me adorable. You donā€™t get to say that.
basically the boys jump to her defense and I love it
also SOPHIE CANONICALLY TOLD TARA PARKER WAS ADORABLE THATS SO SWEET
- - - - -
Hardison: Whoa, whoa, hold up. Mnh-Mnh. Hold up, hold up. What is this?
Tara: Oh, itā€™s a bill, for my cut of the inheritance. Hey, Iā€™m not a candy striper. This is my job.
(Eliot, Hardison and Parker look at Nate, who nods)
Tara: There. See? We're getting paid already. It's gonna be fun.

omg dean is SUCH an elena. heā€™s insufferable.
Okay, Iā€™m putting all this under a cut so anyone who doesnā€™t feel they should look at it- donā€™t. Iā€™m barely in this fandom. I watched like 15% of the show. I soooo do not want argue and be involved in its wank xDD. This is just me doing my TVD-adjacent obsessed shit LOL.
The first item to compare is the dissonance I feel between the majority opinion people have of them (within the ā€˜verse and among the fans) vs. the impression I get. In both cases, thereā€™s a lot of talk about them being THE MOST COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE EVER (even when surrounded by people who will go the extra mile when they donā€™t), that feel and care SO MUCH MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE, that they are EVERYTHING GOOD, A FONT OF HUMANITYā€™S VIRTUES.
Meanwhile, I see charismatic individuals that are really good at drawing people in; controlling people with ease to manage their own emotions and react to people in the most beneficial way according to circumstance (which among other things means treating the people that could walk away from you with respect and letting your frustrations out in those you know will take anything), and with an instinct that runs towards subconscious manipulation.
That last one is especially terrifying to me. Schemers I get; schemers can be naturally good at it or practice- itā€™s beyond some, but a lot of people could become a schemer! *I* can be a schemer! Most of all, schemers can turn it on and off. People like Elena or Dean are always on, with everybody, and they scare me LMAO.
All of this could easily apply Stefan too. But I came to this comparison instead when I remembered a storyline I heard about a few years ago, in season who-the-fuck-knows-this-show-is-too-long, where Dean gets an angel to possess Sam to ~save him and then hides it from him. That SCREAMS Elena-Jeremy to me, with those times Elena sicked Damonā€™s compulsion on him to keep him ā€œsafeā€ (which also means ā€œunder her controlā€). Stefan definitely does not have the upper hand with his brother lmao.
I also distinctively remembered Dean getting physically violent with Sam, so I tracked this down. I canā€™t say I remember these instances (I think I saw a post about how the bottom left was because Sam had touched/driven/changed Deanā€™s car? And it was humorous? The fuck, guys), but I donā€™t think context will help tbh. The fact that a popular fandom reading -and one sufficiently backed by the text IIRC- is that Dean raised Sam in their parentā€™s stead (because Mary was dead and John was obsessed with avenging her and left the kids alone often) makes it far worse in my eyes.
As a side-note, after making this comparison my brain linked Castiel to Bonnie (lost his powers at least once, which surely changed the balance of his relationships; was trapped in Purgatory -I think Dean got him out of that one so. Thatā€™s a point for him over Elena xD), and then Dean-Castiel to Elena-Bonnie and err. You guys know how I feel about Bonnie-Elena, surely.
Now, I donā€™t particularly mean this post to be ā€œantiā€. I think Elena is a fascinating character, and I even thought that back when I loathed her. I donā€™t hate her anymore, the way you wouldnā€™t hate a predator thatā€™s been defanged, declawed and neutered to the point where itā€™ll never hurt anybody again xD, which makes it so much easier to appreciate her character in retrospect now. So I get being drawn to a character like this, I do. Iā€™ll just never howĀ  people see this as this fluffy victimized little things lmao.
I donā€™t know that Iā€™ll find Dean as engaging. If this show was made to *my* taste (which, let me be clear: itā€™s not obligated to. A story can, should be what its writers want it to be. Itā€™s on the spectator to choose if a story is for them and whether to stick with it if it isnā€™t, and how much and for how long), itā€™d be all about the angels and demons complicated family-slash-political dynamics lmfao -especially since SPN is the closest Iā€™ve gotten to the angels' portrayal I truly want-, but alas, it isnā€™t so.

1. What's the cringiest memory you have as a Twilight fan? OR the happiest memory? 2. Has Twilight influenced your fashion choices, personality, and so forth? 3. What about Leah Clearwater resonates with you? 4. What's your favorite Jacob scene in the books and movies? [You don't have to answer all of them, no pressure. Thank you!]
let me just say this is my favorite ask in the world. I cried a couple times and I honestly think itā€™s made me re-evaluate my life. these kinds of asks are My BrandTM and Iā€™m legitimately honored that youā€™re interested! ilysm šŸ’•
im on mobile and im about to gush abt stuff so keep mf scrolling
1. my cringiest memory is a tie between going to walmart at midnight for the dvd premieres of eclipse and breaking dawn part 1 (and maybe breaking dawn part 2 but i literally canā€™t remember at this point) and like........going to the seattle twilight convention in 2011. but now that I think about it, it wasnā€™t cringey at all! i was 13 and it was the single best day of my life. i got up early with my mom that morning and we drove the half hour it took to get to downtown seattle from our house. the girls of the hillywood show hosted and i got to meet them. i later attended panels with tyson housemann and booboo stewart and julia jones šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’• it was juliaā€™s birthday but she didnā€™t mention it, humble queen. and omg she wore a tank top and threw a football around........what a woman. booboo also did a backflip in that hotel lobby lmfao. but besides seeing the cast, that slday was incredible bc i won twilight trivia against a bunch of ppl (including grown ass adults) lmao. that was so incredibly fun. best day of my life as a twihard.
wait but BITCH I forgot I went to forks w my dad in 2013!!! the town was dead as fuck but it was so fun šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’• I did a bunch of tourist shit but Iā€™m so glad I finally went and Iā€™m so thankful for my dad for taking me no matter how bored he was. that was amazing
2. twilight was my first Thing as an adolescent. i got into it when i was 11 years old. it has shaped so much of me, but most importantly, my opportunities to make friends, as well as my music taste bc of my friends from these websites putting me on to new music. the soundtracks ofc put me on to new music too. but anyways, some of my best friends since middle school were people I originally met on twilight fan sites or the 2012 taylor lautner fandom on twitter. twilight was also the longest book Iā€™d read at the time, so it upped my reading habits. and Iā€™ve also loved writing since I was little (like 8 years old) but discovering fan fiction made it that much more fun. Iā€™ve always loved writing and fan fiction enabled my love for it, even though most of my fics were shitty. I had (and still have!) so much fun. in terms of fashion, I had a phase where I liked flannels bc of bella but I definitely dress cuter now than anybody in those movies lmaoo.
3. now Leah Clearwater......LEAH CLEARWATER. sheā€™s always resonated with me in that shes a woman of color and NOT afraid to show others how she feels, no matter how annoyed or uncomfortable everyone else gets because of it. she was hurting and didnā€™t hide it (not like she could, but still). she made sure she was heard despite all those boys telling her to shut up. and also, her protectiveness over Seth reminds me of how much I care about my younger brother and wanna shield him from everything bad in the world, even when heā€™s being a dumbass. but overall I think of leah as a huge breath of fresh air in that sheā€™s one of the only characters who not only criticizes the Cullens but Bella too. she also has that brand of humor thatā€™s kinda mean but very true and Iā€™ve definitely embodied it for at least the last 12 years of my life. I just wish she was real so I could be her friend. smeyer managed to under develop one of her most compelling characters ever.
4. my favorite jacob scene in the books was every last scene in new moon before he phased, but especially the part where he and bella talked at the movies. that was really sweet. and I donā€™t claim eclipse, but the little parts they hung out as friends (before it got annoying) were nice as well. oh and I LOVED when they danced together in the breaking dawn movie. she was so happy to see him! like literally delighted! the first time she looked that hapoy during the entire wedding and reception!!! but my favorite overall jacob scene is definitely at the part in the new moon movie right before I turn the whole thing off, when theyā€™re in her truck and heā€™s like ā€œsometimes I feel like Iā€™m gonna disappear.ā€ that really gets me. I wish it got more elaboration. jacobā€™s backstory is literally so rich I wish we got more of it :( and this may be an unpopular opinion but his take on everything that happened in new moon would be totally cool to have but itā€™s too bad smeyer made him Love Interest #2 and not like.......his own character
thanks sm for this ask!!! this has definitely been my favorite šŸ’žšŸ’ž

OTP Tag
I was tagged by @whaticameherefor, thank you!! <3
Letā€™s go chronological order with the Real otps and then add whoever else i can think of lmao. Putting some of this under a cut bc it got long!
Stiles Stilinski/Derek Hale (Teen Wolf)
Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard (All For the Game)
Isak Valtersen/Even Bech Naesheim (Skam)
Ian Gallagher/Mickey Milkovich (Shameless)
Nick Miller/Jessica Day (New Girl)
Allison Argent/Scott McCall (Teen Wolf)
Otis Milburn/Maeve Wiley (Sex Education)
David Rose/Patrick Brewer (Schittā€™s Creek)
Alexis Rose/Ted Mullins (Schittā€™s Creek)
Eva Mohn/Jonas Noah Vasquez
1. Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6?
Oh man, I mean I shipped them from the beginning but episode 5Ā ā€œThe Tellā€ was sort of my holy grail episode in terms of content for scallison and thus, when i fell in love. Also special shoutout to the scene inĀ ā€œHeart Monitorā€ when Allison holds Scottā€™s hand under the table and it helps keep him in control and we find out sheā€™s his anchor. I devoted my whole heart then and there <3
2. Have you ever read a fanfic about 2?
Yes, extensively lmao
3. Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr screen saver?
Haha nah, iā€™m not really anĀ ā€œotp as my screensaverā€ sort of person.
4. If 7 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be?
Well I mean everyone seems to be doing their damndest to keep them apart in the first place so i need them to actually get together first sakdjfhksa but yeah, letā€™s just say my response to the season 2 finale wasĀ ā€œoh noooooooooā€ which basically answers this question lol.
5. Why is 1 so important?
Ugh, because. Their dynamic was so, so good and it came out of Nowhere. Like it was one of those relationships that sort of sneaks up on you like, holy shit these two bounce off each other really well????? And the dichotomy of them shit-talking each other All The Time but then continually sacrificing themselves for one another and taking turns saving each otherā€™s lives was so fascinating to watch. Especially as the shit-talking became decidedly more fond as the seasons went on and you realised theyā€™d genuinely started to care for each other. We couldā€™ve had it all and Iā€™m still bitter lmao.
6. Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?
Definitely funny but in their moments of sincerity were so incredibly sweet <3
7. Out of all the ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?
Oooooh this is hard sakdjhsjh I mean, I ship them all because I feel like they have chemistry and each relationship is different. I think Iā€™ll say the skam ships just bc isak/even and eva/jonas legitimately felt like real couples to me? like if you told either pairing was together irl Iā€™d believe you, yā€™know? (thereā€™s 3 or 4 others that are strong contenders though!!!)
8. Out of all your ships listed, which ship has the strongest bond?
Oof. Again, this is really hard. Iā€™m inclined to say Ian/Mickey bc I think they have the longest history of any of the ships Iā€™ve listed here and it just runs so deep, yā€™know? Like to quote mickey, theyā€™re under each otherā€™s skin. So in that regard, I think theyā€™d have the strongest bond. (The same could sort of be said for andrew/neil in terms of what theyā€™ve gone through together too though) But I feel like nick and jess have an amazing bond too in the sense that they really, really are best friends beneath everything and you can See that in the way they love each other.Ā 
9. How many times have you read/watched the 10ā€™s fandom?
Oh my god i have no idea. Iā€™ve definitely rewatched all of skam once (possibly twice?) but Iā€™ve rewatched individual clips/episodes a million times over. The morning the 8.10 kitchen scene came out i just stayed in bed for like 3 hours rewatching it over and over again askdjhcs Thatā€™s kind of the beauty of the clip format though in terms of rewatching favourite scenes :ā€™)
10. Which ship has lasted the longest?
Okay Iā€™m assuming this means like, stayed together the longest? In which case that goes to Ian and Mickey again, I believe (or Nick and Jess if you include the 3 year time jump)

bro did someone piss you off? that post just has me a tad concerned.
Terrible mobile post without tags. I will tag this later. But yea i am fine. I am really tired.Ā 
The post in question was deleted but added to the rules. Iā€™m finally online to fix this ask but honestly. Iā€™m just putting it under a read more. Do what you will with this.
keep in mind I was with family and had been awake for 24 hours so yes. the post was a bit jumbled.
Aside from the constant stalking / hovering from somebody that gets me really exhausted cause i get notifications about it every week. But i can also give you the best example for that.Ā 
Somebody asked me for advice. Me, knowing full well about them as a person and who they are, offered the best advice i could give them in the best way possible. And i told them, hey this is the best suggestion for you but it probably isn't what you want to hear. And then they proceeded to say 'stop gaslighting me.'Ā 
Thats basically the summed up version. It was actually far worse than this though. Keep in mind that whatever advice i give, I give with the other personā€™s health and safety in mind. I do genuinely want them to feel safe & comfortable. With this person. I spent countless hours with them. both through messaging AND on the phone! They were yelling at me about it and unfortunately.... They blew up and snapped at me when I was trying to stay calm the entire time.Ā 
Im NORMALLY a pretty chill person most of the time. Like yea Iā€™m super hyperactive. but in this instance where I wasnā€™t throwing shade or mud at them. I was being genuine in my advice and I was trying really hard to communicate to the best of my ability and compartmentalised for them cause they were not understanding the emotional aspect of their situation. ( which is fine. I was genuinely trying to help make it easier for them to understand ) and i was offering an outlet for them to seek advice, they immediately got mad at me when I said I donā€™t know what else to tell you, and I was only repeating myself.Ā 
when somebody throws shit at me for no reason... rather they get frustrated like that after they came to me originally for for advice, its really exhausting and frustrating on my end. Especially when I had been nothing but kind to them about it. I never once got mad at them I even warned them that I needed some space because I was getting annoyed and needed some time alone. then all of a sudden its like I am a horrible asshole. like cool. I guess???
I really am sorry if that post was all over the place. I was really drained. and my parents were also picking at me because yea, i donā€™t fucking fit gender standards and they were bullying me about my appearance and when i was reading over my rules, i realise that i had forgotten one super important rule. cause one of my sisters actually does this all the time too. She weaponizes literally anything that is said to her despite the fact that sheā€™s done nothing but use me to further her career and life.Ā 
I am just tired of people weaponizing anything they may seem like it is appropriate because they are angry with themselves and with the world.Ā 
Specifically... I am tired of people weaponising autism as well. I spoke with another friend about it and they said that many people are scared to say they are autistic ( themselves included ) cause they know people use it as a weapon. I am also tired of people treating other people like shit because they donā€™t understand them. I really am rambling at this point but really. I genuinely donā€™t know how else to say or explain it without offending anybody. I am not trying to do that here.Ā 
I am trying to basically say that people need to really take a step back and understand that everybody thinks differently from one another. some people will disagree. but really. I think people REALLY need to start communicating more without the use of like.... name calling or throwing out random words. a lot of words have lost a lot of meaning because people use them so carelessly. Like yea. this is the internet. sure. but really if you think itā€™s gonna get better with more aggression, then please just leave.
Also, keep in mind i swear like a sailor because thatā€™s just how i write dfhsb lmfao. its not that im mad or anything. If that offends you then i donā€™t know? leave?
