-p.s. you shared the cotton candy lmao-

-he literally walked you home and your parents invited him in for dinner

-the next time you went on a date, you brought him to yours and he made a good impression but they don't love him as much as his parents do to you

-you were so happy for him when he joined the sendai frogs

-cheered for him on every game (LIKE THE SHIRT AND THE SIGNS AND STUFF)

-facepalmed himself out of spite ya bet he got a scolding for that

-"KEI KEI KEI GANABTTE," that was you, screaming at the top of your lungs at your HUSBAND.

-"oi, tsukki, who's that?"

-tsukishima facepalmed himself, earning a glare from you, "my wife."

-"EHH?? TSUKKI HAS A WIFE??"

-lmao the most normal occurrence

-after that koganegawa would often come to you and ask for dirt on kei (screw him for facepalming)

-saltyshima (in the public) → sweetieshima (in front of you only)

ATEEZ REACTION TO THEIR S/O TALKING ABOUT HAVING KIDS

Hongjoong

You and Hongjoong had just been married for about a month when you talked about having children. It wasn't news to you that you had a big childwish but he didn't expect for you to want to start right away.

"Darling, are you sure? We just got married." But you were sure, and he knew. When he had sorted out his thoughts and thought everything through he happily agreed, not being able to wait to have more of you.

Seonghwa

Seonghwa had been waiting for this day since forever, wanting to have kids with you desperately, probably more than you. When you started the conversation about having kids he had already pulled you closer.

"Why don't we start right away?" You were taken aback a little but Seonghwa soon persuaded you with his lips on yours.

Yunho

"Kids? I thought we were already trying."

You frowned and looked at Yunho confused. "Why?" "Well you're not using any birth control anymore, right?" "Since like three weeks? The body doesn't work that fast Yunho, oh my God."

After a little lesson of biology you and Yunho both agreed to start on having kids, and he was a little too eager to keep trying and trying-

Yeosang

He was a little hesitant about it at first. He wasn't sure if he was ready yet to start a family. He married you and he was happy with this choice, but it had been just a little over a year and in his vision you had much more time left for this.

He talked it through with you and you both came to the conclusion to not start having them right away, but to not procrastinate it too much. When it happens, it happens.

San

San was more than happy that on your wedding night you spoke up about starting a family right away.

"Darling, you know I'd love that but... I don't think you can drink champagne then," he said while laughing. You chugged your champagne and looked at him. "Then this was my last!" It didn't take long before he was getting your dress off and making love to you all night long.

Mingi

"Yes."

He didn't say much else before he was trying to kiss you and get off your clothes. "Woah, woah, woah," you stopped him, "what do you think you're doing?"

"What does it look like? I'm gonna put a baby in you," he said as he shimmied his pants down. "Mingi I did not necissarily mean right away- Okay nevermind."

Wooyoung

You weren't nervous for the conversation with Wooyoung about having kids. He loved them, was an absolute natural with them. So when you finally discussed it, telling him you're ready he was over the moon.

He was already making inappropriate comments, saying "So you want me to fuck you full?" and "Can't wait for second trimester" like dude slow down-

Jongho

Jongho listened to you carefully and was very mature about it. He asked you many details you hadn't even thought of yet. Was there enough money? Were you ready to put your body through this?

When you started panicking he held you and calmed you down, telling you everything would be okay and you'd be an amazing parent. Your smile softened and you gave in, knowing it was right for you to do.

[ahgasegotarmy116]

One more idea cause the Bang-Able couple inspires me greatly. What about the first time she gets her period after she gets him. Maybe he's very concerned for her getting cramps and bleeding and he goes to buy her all kinds of craving foods and heating pads and medicines. You could have him go buy pads or tampons and he has no clue what to get so he buys a bunch of different things. You could even end the drabble in a kinky way and have him give her an orgasm to help relieve her cramps.

You know what fucking sucks? (tmi) I just started my period tonight 😭

So I guess this is a little selfishly written drabble to make myself feel better 😭

This is written in Jungkook's p.o.v

~~~~~

"So what exactly might she need?" I turn to Ava who's kicking back and enjoying my struggle.

"You're the robot sir I thought you would know everything. Plus you live with her? Haven't you seen her period products in the bathroom?" she asks, watching me as I pace up and down the aisle trying to figure out what she might use.

"I think she keeps them hidden or something because I've never seen them" I say and reach tentatively for a couple of products. "Do you at least know if she uses tampons or pads? Or does she use one of those diva cup things?" I ask, trying to squeeze some sort of information out of her.

"Y/n is honestly pretty private about her period. That's probably why you haven't seen anything" she says and I nod my head, everything making sense now.

"We could always call her?" Ava says but I panic and stop her. "No no no, she was sleeping when you picked me up and I know she needs a lot of rest so let's just leave her be" I say and grab three different kinds of pads and tampons and Ava scoffs at the sight.

"Aye you're not helping so I figured third times a charm no?" I say but I'm only graced with a shrug in response and when I toss the items in the basket she whips it around and goes back into the main aisle.

"So what next?" Ava asks and as I look to the left I see exactly what I was searching for next. "Ice cream" I say and walk over to the freezers, not bothering to pay attention if Ava is still following me but after dodging a few rouge carts she pulls up to me.

"Oh no that's fine Jungkook you go ahead, I'll just catch up" she mutters and I turn and look at her apologetically. "Sorry I'm jus-" "Just focused on y/n I get it, it's what you were programed to do. Do you at least know what kind of ice cream she likes?" she asks and as I look up and down the various selections I find it.

"This one! I'm sure of it!" I say and she chuckles. "You really love to please her don't you?" she says and turns the basket towards the snack aisle as our last stop.

"Well like you said, it's what I was programed for, plus you were the one who programed me so you should know better than anyone else" I argue and she sighs in defeat.

"You got me there I guess. What I don't remember though is giving you such golden retriever energy when you're eagerly getting simple items together for your master like tampons and ice cream" she teases and I roll my eyes, a habit I've developed from seeing her do it whenever y/n and I are doing anything remotely touchy feely.

"She's my girlfriend remember?" I correct her and she rolls her eyes proving my point perfectly. "Sorry, this concept is still new to all of us so it's gonna take some getting used to" she sighs but I take no offense to it.

I mean I literally can't because I'm just programed to have these reactions superficially but it's nice to see that she has manners to a certain extent.

"Are we good?" she asks, making sure I've got everything and I nod in confirmation and soon we're back at the house.

"Thank you for your help" I say while unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out to grab everything from the back. She would offer to help but I literally could carry a car if need be which is honestly a cool yet completely pointless feature if you ask me.

"Yeah no worries. I usually go on these snack runs on my own when she's like this so it's nice to have someone to come with" she says once I've come back around to the passenger side again.

"You heading home?" I ask, seeing that she's not making a move to get out. "Yeah I figured she probably wouldn't be in the mood for any company but have her call me when she's feeling better" she says with a pained expression, knowing how painful your periods are.

"I will" I say simply and wave before walking into the house to take care of my very sleepy girl.

"Baby" I whisper to her, caressing her face softly and she hums in response. "I got you the pain meds you asked for...and a lot of other stuff too" I say sheepishly, not having told her I was planning to go a little (a lot) over the original amount she had expected me to spend.

She breathes out a quiet thank you, her eyes still closed as she hasn't made any sort of effort to get up. "You want some help?" I ask, my thumb brushing up against her cheekbone and she nods slightly.

"Alright come on" I say softly, not wanting to startle her awake or anything. I brace her and sit her up against the headboard before giving her a glass of water to drink first which she downs half of.

"Good, now here can you eat a couple of these? I don't want you to be taking these pills on an empty stomach" I say, giving her an open sleeve of plain crackers so as to not upset her stomach and she does as she's told again.

It's good to see that she's obedient even in this state so this although painful situation for her can go as smoothly as possible. After she's eaten about seven to ten of these little crackers I give her to two little pills and hand her the glass of water again and she take it without a second thought.

"That's my girl" I say and caress her face which she leans into, making me smile at her clear want to be close to me. "Can you come lay with me?" she asks and I nod my head and go around to my side of the bed.

"Lay on your back" I say when she tries to cuddle in close and she looks at me suspiciously. "Don't look at me like that just trust me" I say and she sighs and does as she's told.

I settle in next to her, cuddling up close and slip my hand under her shirt and rest it against her bare stomach but before she can even ask me what I'm doing she practically moans in content.

"You mean to tell me I can use your hands as heating pads?" she asks with her eyes wide and looking down at where it's resting. "I thought you might like that" I chuckle and she places her hand on top of mine to apply some more pressure and place it exactly where she needs it.

"If I wasn't on my period I would jump your bones for doing something like this for me" she says and I laugh, "We'll I don't have bones but I can definetly help you out with that right now if you want? Studies show that orgasms can help relieve period pain" I say, trailing my hand down under her waistband but she stops me before I can get much further.

"Maybe later, I just wanna stay like this for a while" she says and I apply some more pressure since she seems to enjoy that, turning the heat up a couple of notches but not enough to hurt her.

"Get some sleep love" I whisper and kiss her temple. "I'll be right here when you wake up"

Decided to go the fluffy route because that's exactly the kind of attention I would love to have from him right now 😭

I know I'm delulu but you are too 😭

Masterlist

Back story....

Me and Gojo were married from five years. My age is now 23 and Gojo is now 28. ( The first year students of jujutsu high are also 23) we got married at a very young age. We didn't have a big marriage ceremony or something. That's why many people doesn't think that I'm his wife at first.....

Back story ends...

It was a great day. Gojo's family told me they are gonna take me to the jujutsu high where Gojo works. I got ready. They told me to go there . After I got ready they told their driver to take me to jujutsu high. And now I finally arrived jujutsu high.

Entering there I saw Nanami. He knew who I was. I gave him a smile. He give me back the smile.

Nanami: y/n-san... suddenly?

Me: gojo's family told me I should visit here...

Namami: that's great... you can come here whenever you want

Me: thank you so much Nanami-san...

We didn't notice that the first year students were watching us.

Nobara: hey, guys...I think it's a new student here...

Yuji: yeah I think so...

Nobara: let's talk to her...

Yuji: yayyyy... let's go....new friend!!!

Nobara: Megumi? you coming or not?

Me: can you please tell where's the office of Gojo Satoru?

They said and took me towards Gojo's office. Gojo was standing outside of his office. He saw me.

Gojo: Oh? You came here? That's nice...

Me: yuppp

Gojo: guys this is-

Nobara: we know sensei....we just talked...

Gojo: o... okey.... Y/n... come in my office for a moment.

Me: ok guys see you later then.

I went inside. Gojo suddenly pulled me towards him. (The door was closed but wasn't locked)

Gojo: you missed me that much? *Smirk*

Me: shut up... your family told me to come here *blushed*

Gojo: oh?

Gojo kissed my neck.

Me: Satoru! Tf?? Someone can saw us

Gojo: I don't care

Then he kissed me on my lips roughly. I grabbed the table for support.

On the other hand Nobara saw us from the door gap.

Nobara: WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! SENSEI IS KISSING THE NEW STUDENT!!!!!

Yuji and Megumi: WHAT!

They saw from the door gap me and Gojo kissing.

After some time when I went out the three of them rushed in gojo's office before I could get out.

All of them: Sensei??? What the fuck...why were you kissing that new student???

Gojo: what?

Nobara: don't act innocent....we saw you kissing y/n!

Any headcanons of your favorite enstars characters? 👀💫

I do indeed nonnie! Though tbh, these are kind of full-cast headcanons lol. Tysm for the ask 😊

Mika is still upset he wasn't included in the Sanrio collab, and angrily sewed plushies the entire day it was announced.

During practice for Artistic Partisan, Hiiro was under the impression that the prop spears were much heavier than they actually were, leading to him accidentally slamming one through the wall (and nearly impaling Shu).

We don't talk enough about how Knights are given swords for their performances. Like who thought this was a good idea. Even if they are dull and fake, do you know how terrifying it is to have Ritsu Sakuma come at you with a sword and a maniacal grin? Kaoru Hakaze does.

Kuro was basically acting as a mediator for the entirety of the Yuukyou Seishunka cover rehearsals (while Mika and Souma prayed their unit leaders wouldn't kill each other). Keito and Shu came to feel kinda bad about this as they were winding down, so they begrudgingly worked together to make him a gi, as a thank you and apology. Keito never wants to hear the words "proper quilter's knot" again, but it was worth it for the smile on Kuro's face.

Hiiro and Hinata both have...shaky histories with high places (Hiiro in !! main story after Rinne disowns him, and Hinata during Setsubun). Niki doesn't know the details, but he notices after a while, so they start having rooftop hang-outs on occasion to help them with it.

I really like the Hiiro-Hinata-Niki dorm as a whole actually (which...Hiiro and Hinata are two of my favs, and Niki's up there, so that's to be expected lol). I see a lot of potential with the three, and I think they'd really get each other.

Ibara visited Kaname once. It was a stupid and sentimental thing to do, really, and he had work that needed to be done, lives to prepare for...but he couldn't help but feel he owed it to him, the near-silent apology that passed his lips that day.

Also, veering into AU territory a bit, but I think if Kaname were to wake up and eventually get back into the industry (after lots of rehab + accommodations), he'd keep the HiMERU name, but drop the "cool" persona he tried to associate with it. Life is too short to care so much about the public's perception of him, and I feel he'd go in the opposite direction of Tatsumi, and become even more outspoken, which would make him a good Crazy:B candidate.

OreMERU (our HiMERU) and Kaname are going to need to talk. A lot. I think Kaname wouldn't quite forgive him and would be upset about the identity theft, but he also can't bring himself to hate him, as he can see why he did it and knows it's for him. There's a lot of guilt and misunderstanding on both sides (ntm Tatsumi, Jun, and everyone else's reactions), but I think they eventually get through it alright, and OreMERU would always be Kaname's "Onii-chan".

OreMERU is also gonna have an identity crisis, and tries to quit Crazy:B, but of course Rinne, Niki, and Kohaku aren't gonna let him just dip like that. There's a lot of panicking, some bad hairstyle decisions, but he comes out alright, and starts going by another stage name that's important to him in some way.

I'm sorry about the excessive Tojo headcanons nonnie, I fully read Obbligato for the first time last week (just knew the basics before) and it wrecked me asdfghjkl.

Anyways. Back to everyone else.

As Mika gets used to Shu's more lenient personality, he tries to see how much gore he can get away with in Valkyrie's art.

Shu tries so hard to respect Mika's artistic vision and encourage him, he really does. But he draws the line at real pigs brains on-stage, even if they are in jars ("But Oshi-san, it represents the breakin' o' the mind after they tried so hard ta conform ta the expectations they put on 'em and ended up slaughtered! It's perfect symbolism, ain't it?")

Adonis makes money on the side for Undead by acting as an interpreter for other units during lives and Q&As. It ends up so popular and profitable that ES actually ends up investing money in professional interpreters for all events, because the ES heads can be kind of good people for once I guess. As a treat.

Rei, Ritsu, Niki, Tatsumi, Eichi, and Kaname (if he rejoins the industry) start having a combined monthly interview to make up for ones they miss due to illness/disability. The college kids/anyone that's been sick or couldn't make their own interviews occasionally join in too (usually Chiaki, Mayoi, Nazuna, Shu, Leo, and Izumi). Rei feels personally attacked sometimes, but its overall fun and way less stressful than trying to make every interview for their own units.

Kuro/Shu/Mao/Izumi dorm have sewing nights. It started because Kuro and Shu already sew, and Izumi wanted to be able to make his own alterations as a model just in case. Mao ended up joining in as a way to de-stress from student council work, and they have a relatively pleasant time together.

Souma is canonically good at embroidery, so I like to think he ends up creating his own sword scabbards for different Akatsuki costumes using the skills he's picked up from it. They're very pretty, and he's very proud of them.

My Review/Ranking of the Lilo & Stitch Franchise

DISCLAIMER: This review consists solely of the main film and TV series of the franchise. This does NOT INCLUDE: video games, books, comics, or theme park attractions. This review also only includes entries of the franchise that purely focus on characters of the franchise itself, and NOT CROSSOVERS. So works such as Kingdom Hearts and Once Upon a Studio are not included in this review. Maybe sometime I'll make an extended review that includes all other types of L&S media. But not right now. I'm tired.

~SPOILER WARNING~ I will be discussing spoilers for all entries of this review!!!

Let me start by saying that the original Lilo & Stitch film is not only my favorite Disney film, but it's also one of my favorite films of all time. At the ripe old age of three, watching the film when it came out in 2002 fundamentally changed me as a person. It was my gateway to animation, the sci-fi genre, and found family tropes. This film shaped how my tastes in films would come to be in my adulthood. I watched the film on loop on VHS and DVD until I drove my family to insanity. To say I love this franchise is an understatement. And I have been fairly consistent in keeping up with the entries of the franchise when they came out (except for the anime and Chinese series which I only finished in 2025). Now that the live action remake is out and I have seen it for myself, and now that the franchise is back in the public eye, I think it's time that I give my full thoughts on the franchise, and discuss the good, the bad, and the intricacies that all Lilo & Stitch films and shows have to offer. Full disclosure, this is gonna be a LONG and DETAILED review, so if you just wanna know my ranking, I've included the tier list up top, so you can skip the review if you wish. But if you want to know the reasons why I ranked all entries the way I did, then buckle up. You're in for a wild ride.

9. Lilo & Stitch (2025)

Real shocker I know. The live action remake is at the very bottom, who would've guessed? I mean, what else can I say about it at this point that hasn't already been said? I guess it's hard to call it the most offensively bad Disney remake since Mulan 2020 exists, but still. The changes they made are not great to say the least. The worst for me is, this movie could've been almost passable, if it weren't for the fact they changed the ending. To name a few of the highlights, Maia Kealoha did an exceptional job as Lilo. Granted, her acting isn't perfect, but that's to be expected for a 7 y/o first time actress. She still embodied the character well, even if she was toned down quite a bit from the original. I hope that Maia's acting career may flourish beyond this point, if that is what she chooses to do. Her chemistry with Sydney Agudong (Nani) was also handled well (for the most part) and was fun to watch onscreen. Stitch is still very cute, and is more or less the same as he was in the original. The CGI aliens also don't look as bad as I figured they would. And as much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I did chuckle a little at some of the jokes. I also think this is one of the more visually appealing live action remakes, although it definitely pales in comparison to the original. Ok, that's all the nice things I have to say. I don't know whose idea it was to change the movie's ending to have Nani leave Lilo, but they should never be allowed to step foot in a writers room ever again. It baffles me that someone could misunderstand and fumble the original's core message this badly! So now the message goes from “the people you love will always be there for you and you can rely on each other when things get hard” to “kids, you're a burden to your parents/guardians and if they decide to leave you to pursue their dreams you should be ok with that.” Just…wtf man?

And they have Nani leave Lilo to pursue a marine biology major…in California. When there are so many schools in marine biology on Hawaii!!! An island surrounded by marine life!!! That's like leaving Texas to study cowboy history in North Dakota. But it's ok because Nani has an alien portal gun so she can visit her sister whenever she wants. But in that case, why doesn't she just stay in Hawaii and use the portal gun to go to her classes? I'm not the first person to point this out, but there is something truly insidious about Disney changing the story so that a native Hawaiian woman dreams of leaving her only living relative behind to move to California. Screw 'ohana, you should want to move to the mainland and leave behind your family who is holding you back! Isn't that such an endearing, and not at all dangerous if not racially/culturally insensitive message to convey?!? Jesus Christ. And what was the point of Nani trying so hard to keep Lilo out of foster care throughout the movie if she could've given Lilo up to the neighbor lady this whole time? Where are the stakes in that? In the original, Nani and Lilo had NOBODY. Nani was Lilo's only chance at living in a normal loving environment, which meant Nani had to step up her game as a guardian or Lilo's life would be placed in the hands of complete strangers. In the remake, all Nani had to do was give Lilo over to the nice neighbor lady and the problem was solved! So what was the point of all of Nani's struggles? Why did Stitch need to be there? What was the point? WHAT WAS THE POINT?!? And don't even get me started on what they did to Jumba. Completely massacred his whole character! Disney couldn't spare a few of their billions of dollars to have Gantu in the movie, so they made Jumba the villain instead.

Because we don't want to confuse our audience with a morally complex character who grows and changes as a person throughout the movie. We gotta make him a 2-dimensional bad guy complete with a monologue on how he hates family and friendship and have him destroy all of Lilo's dead parents’ belongings just to make her feel bad. What do you mean Jumba was a valued member of the 'ohana in the original? That never happened. He's pure evil and he hates that Stitch became empathetic and grew to care for someone else. Also his (homoerotic) friendship with Pleakley is nonexistent. We also stripped all of Pleakley's femininity and queer subtext btw. No more crossdressing. No more flamboyancy. We also changed his name from Wendy to Wendell because fuck you. We don't wanna offend the JK Rowling cultists. And we put David in the movie, but he does nothing whatsoever. He has no chemistry with Nani and you wouldn't even know they're supposed to be a couple unless you've seen the original. We gave all his important scenes to the new neighbor lady character we came up with for this remake. Can't you see how much better these changes are??? Aren't you pleased with our corporate pandering??? GIVE US YOUR MONEY!!!

Yeah, this remake is not great. Would not recommend. Only truly good thing about it is that it led to a lot of people showing greater appreciation for the original. Which is superior in every conceivable way.

8. Stitch & Ai

Probably the deepest cut of the franchise, Stitch & Ai was a short lived Chinese animated series that places Stitch within the Hunshuan Mountains and reveals some new lore involving Stitch's initial programming and offers more insight into what Jumba had intended for him. Although the show offers interesting concepts, it's not the best at executing those concepts. I'd say Stitch & Ai is to the Lilo & Stitch franchise what The Lion Guard is to the Lion King franchise. In all fairness, the show was cancelled after only one season consisting of thirteen episodes, and Disney hardly put in the effort to market the show internationally, which is why so few people know about it. It's also worth noting that the series was split between two teams of developers, one in China, and one in America. And unlike the anime, S&A had crew members from the original series work on the show, most notably the executive producer Tony Craig. That all being said…I think there may have been some miscommunication somewhere between the two teams.

The quality of the animation and writing varies from episode to episode, with some being animated in a similar hand drawn style to the original series, while others are animated using 2D rigged puppets that can look rather awkward and jagged in certain scenes. My guess is because of the separate studios handling the animation from opposite sides of the planet, although I don't know for certain that that's the case. The writing for most of the episodes are that of a standard kids show with morals to be learned with each episode, which is fine. But doesn't make for quite as memorable an experience as the other two series.

The new human girl protagonist in this series, Wang Ai Ling, is in my opinion the weakest of Stitch's human companions. She isn't a bad character per se. She's not annoying or mean-spirited, but she is pretty bland when compared to Lilo and Yuna. There isn't anything about her character that makes her stand out from the rest. She's basically meant to be a watered down version of Lilo, to the point that they even share the same backstory: parents were recently deceased and she is now being raised by her adult sister. Pretty much copypasted Lilo but set within a different region of the world. She's not as deranged, violent, or weird as Lilo is though. She has the personality of a typical child protagonist from a Disney show, kinda like Kion from The Lion Guard. Her bond with Stitch is pretty cute though, even though I feel Stitch's dynamic with her isn't as strong as with Lilo or Yuna. Still, I did get emotional whenever we get to certain moments between the two of them.

As for Lilo herself, I'd argue that this series does her even dirtier than the anime did. At least in the anime (or in the English version at least) Lilo is still mentioned every now and then by the characters, and her contributions to the central lore of the franchise still get acknowledged. In this series though, the characters never even mention her name. The most we get from her was a few two-second silent cameos within Stitch's flashbacks. The reason for why she and Stitch are separated in this series is even dumber than the anime's reasoning too. In the anime, the two of them parted ways due to a misunderstanding, which is really tired and cliche within itself. But in this show? It's because Stitch got affected by magical chi that gave him selective amnesia which made him forget her entirely. …Yeah. He still conveniently remembers who Jumba and Pleakley are of course, even though he met the latter after meeting Lilo. He also remembers his name is Stitch, but not the person who gave him his name. It's also not made clear how the chi works, it was kinda mentioned in passing in the cold opening of one of the episodes that that's what made Stitch lose his memories, but ya know. We gotta have a reason for why Stitch is with a new family, and this was the best we could come up with apparently. The chi stuff also only affects Stitch btw, and not Jumba and Pleakley. There is literally no reason for why they couldn't have contacted Lilo and Nani to inform them of where Stitch was or that he's safe from the aliens hunting him down. Nah, they all just abandon the Pelekais and live with this new family in China without giving any sort of explanation as to why they're there. Cuz again, screw 'ohana right?!?

The voice acting for the most part is decent. Erica Menedez does a fine job as Ai, and Laura Post is good as Jiejie (the Nani stand-in). This series has two voice actors from the English dub of the anime come back to voice their characters for this series: Ben Diskin as Stitch and Jess Wenfield as Jumba. Both are good for their roles, and you can even detect some improvement in their performances as these characters since the anime. But then there's Pleakley… His new voice does not fit him in the slightest. No one can quite replace Kevin McDonald, but his voice actor from the anime did a decent enough job where you can at least recognize the voice as Pleakley's even if it sounds slightly off. But Pleakley in this series sounds more like Funtime Freddy than McDonald, and I had to check IMDB to make certain that it wasn't Kellen Goff doing the voice. It's very jarring and distracting, and sounds nothing like the voice we've all come to associate with the character.

There's also the show's overall plot. People who defend the series often note how it's more faithful to the original continuity than the anime, but idk. There are times where I think it's too faithful. The first four episodes of the show are more or less a retelling of the original movie, but in the Hunshuan Mountains instead of Hawaii. And as mentioned earlier, Ai and Jiejie are basically copypasted versions of Lilo and Nani. In fact, several of the human characters in this series are based on the humans from the original, but more bland. This show has its own David and Mertle as well. The show as a whole draws many similarities from the original, but I think it's stronger elements are when it tries to do something unique with its concepts.

The actual plot doesn't really kick in until episode 4, where we get to the point in the series where Jumba starts creating experiments based on creatures of Chinese mythology. And let me just say it's a really cool concept, and a great way for kids (and adults outside of Asian culture) to learn about Chinese myths. I had no idea what a qi ling was before watching this series, and it's fascinating how each creature is incorporated into the plot of each episode. Although I have my grievances with Stitch & Ai, I think the series is worth checking out just for the cultural and mythological representation if nothing else. One thing that this series manages to do right is continue the ongoing theme of representing underrepresented cultures, and having said cultures play a major factor in Stitch's character development. The cool thing about Stitch is that he's an alien genetic experiment with no original culture, so you can place him anywhere on Earth and have him be the perfect audience surrogate for learning and being influenced by any culture on the planet. The original series took advantage of this with Hawaiian culture, as did the anime with Okinawan culture, and this series with Honshuan culture. 

All in all, Stitch & Ai is the weakest of the TV series in the franchise, and it's a shame it was cut short before it could reach its full potential, but there are certain things about it that make it worth watching at least once. The show also gets bonus points because I find the word "jaboodie" incredibly funny, and I snicker a little everytime they say it.

7. Stitch! (the anime)

I do feel a little bad for ranking the anime as low as I did, because despite being pretty niche, it's a pretty solid show. Many people criticized it when it first came out for being set outside of Hawaii and for replacing Lilo with a new protagonist. The series’ overall structure is also pretty different from its predecessors in the franchise. But in all honesty, I like how different the anime is. I like that the creators tried to do something fresh and new with the franchise after the initial run ended in 2006. Now the anime still definitely has its flaws, but it's not as offensively bad as people make it out to be.

To start, the series is set on the Okinawa islands of Japan rather than Hawaii, and although Okinawa is different from Hawaii, there are some parallels that are drawn between the two cultures that are highlighted throughout the series. Just like how Hawaiian culture and philosophies influenced Stitch throughout the original continuity, in the anime we see Stitch become influenced by Okinawa and learn more about family and togetherness through Yuna and the people of Izayoi Island. While Hawaii has “'Ohana means family” Okinawa has “Ichariba Chodei” a saying that means “meet once, you're family forever.” Like Kokaua Town in Kauai, the human residents of Izayoi have a close tight-knit community that is evident in the anime's first two seasons. However, unlike in Kokaua Town, the residents are not as weirded out by the presence of Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley because they have yokai living among them on the island. This creates an interesting new dynamic between Stitch and the human characters, because in the original series the humans were not as accustomed to the weirdness of the alien characters, but in the anime the new setting was already a weird place before Stitch even arrived there. In this way, the humans of Izayoi are more accepting of the existence of aliens, and thus Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley don't have to hide their identities. I like that this is a unique way for Stitch and the other aliens to interact with the humans, and that's not the only dynamic that was made different for the anime.

When the series was first released and it was revealed that a new girl named Yuna would take Lilo's place as Stitch's best friend, it was met with a lot of backlash, especially amongst American audiences. However, upon watching the series proper, I can confidently say that Yuna is not a bad character and that her dynamic with Stitch is in fact, decently written. She isn't just a copypaste of Lilo either, she has a very different personality, backstory, and upbringing from Lilo. There are some similarities, as to be expected, but Yuna does very much feel more like her own original character, as opposed to Ai. For instance, Yuna is several years older than Lilo was when she met Stitch, and as such has a more mature personality and a greater sense of right and wrong than Lilo had in the original film. To compare Stitch's dynamic with both girls, Lilo was more like a slightly older twin sister, someone who had a bit more knowledge of being “good” then Stitch himself had at the beginning, but also had to learn how to be good alongside Stitch. Both of them were young troublemakers who had to learn to know better as the franchise progressed. But with Yuna, she already has a strong sense of justice and acts more like an older sister to Stitch who teaches him right from wrong. Because of this, Yuna had a lot less patience with Stitch than Lilo did; whereas Lilo was able to empathize with Stitch's destructive behavior because Lilo was pretty destructive herself. But while Yuna and Stitch's personalities tended to clash, it made for a pretty funny and engaging big sister-little brother type dynamic, and while Yuna often tries to be a good role model for Stitch, there have been occasions where Yuna slips up and has to learn a lesson herself. Although Yuna is written to be mature for her age, she still does act very much like a ten year old girl with a hot temper, and she has to learn to be a gentler mentor to Stitch throughout the series. Although no one can replace Lilo in my heart, Yuna does make for a worthy friend to Stitch, and there are many moments between the two throughout the series that are heartwarming and emotional.

Similar to Stitch & Ai, Stitch! also incorporates elements of Japanese mythology into the main plot of the series. The anime's first season has a heavy emphasis of yokai who live on the island, and similar to Stitch's encounters with the experiments in each episode of the original series, the first season of the anime has an episodic format where Stitch and Yuna encounter a different yokai almost every episode. Although I didn't find the yokai characters as likeable or memorable as the experiments from the previous series. Save for maybe two characters, most of them tended to be annoying or assholes or both. The one major yokai character, Kijimuuna, is for the most part tolerable, although he got way more screentime than I think he deserved. The writers must have realized that the yokai weren't that interesting, because they don't have as much relevance in the second season, and don't appear at all in the third, being cast aside in favor of reintroducing Stitch's cousins from the original series. Although it was a cool concept to include creatures of Japanese mythology in the series’ plot, it would've been a lot nicer if the creatures themselves were written better.

In regards to the animation, this may be the most visually appealing out of all the three TV series. The first two seasons are animated by Madhouse, which is a studio known for producing numerous fluidly animated action anime. The series’ third and final season was animated by Shin-Ei, and despite the notable difference in artstyle, the animation still held up very well in the final season, especially during the action sequences. It should be noted though that the third season of the anime feels very different from the previous two, not only because of the difference in animation, but the setting, writing style, and tone has changed as well. After spending two seasons on Izayoi, the third season of the anime has Yuna and Stitch moved to a new town called…New Town (yeah really) without much explanation as to why. Most of the human cast outside of Yuna and her cousin has changed, and I didn't find them as interesting as the humans from the Madhouse seasons. The plot of the third season is also quite similar to the original series, which involves the experiments, now turned evil again by Hämsterviel, wreaking havoc in the town and Yuna and Stitch have to try to stop them. This can be pretty nostalgic, if not also a bit repetitive. 

There was a two-parter in this season titled “Stitch's Birthday” that goes more in depth of the lore on Stitch's creation and why Jumba and Hämsterviel split their partnership. It was a good episode with a lot of neat callbacks that didn't feel shoehorned in. Also may be an unpopular opinion, but I didn't hate the episode Lilo appeared in. Yes, I think the misunderstanding that led to her and Stitch splitting up was stupid. Yes, I would have prefered to have had Stitch stay with Lilo into her adulthood. But honestly, the episode is fine for what it is. It's worth noting that the anime was not originally intended to be a continuation of the previous series/films and was instead meant to be its own continuity. However, Disney execs pushed for the anime to be a sequel, and thus lots of inconsistencies and continuity errors occur, even within the plot of the anime itself. The end result was pretty messy, and it honestly would've been better if the anine had remained its own separate noncanon story. However, considering what the writers had to work with, it could've been a lot worse. I enjoyed the Lilo episode more so for what it implies rather than what actually happens in the episode. The episode explains that Lilo left for college when she was 18 and hadn't seen Stitch in the four years she was gone (what is it with this franchise and having the characters abandon each other because of college???) but Lilo promises Stitch she will reunite with him in Hawaii once she graduates. But then Nani went into labor and Lilo failed to show up on time, causing Stitch to feel abandoned and leave Hawaii until he eventually ended up in Okinawa, starting this series. Which begs the question, why didn't Stitch go looking for her, or try to call her when she didn't show up on time? Why did he immediately assume the worst and then fuck off to another part of the planet for three years afterward? Idk, it's a mess. But long story short, Lilo and Stitch do reunite and make up, and Lilo promises to come see him again (she doesn't return for the rest of the series). Lilo also has a daughter of her own, who looks exactly like her and is the same age as she was in the original film, which implies Lilo must have had her while she was in college, which implies Lilo was a teen mom kinda like Nani was after the passing of their parents.

All in all, the anime has good concepts, great animation, but the writing tends to lack a bit in some areas. There are a handful of really great episodes that explore the franchise's lore in an interesting way, but for the most part the series writing is of standard kid show quality. It has a lot of good humor and some of the characters and their dynamics are written well, but it doesn't quite hold a candle to the original series and films.

6. Stitch! The Movie

Despite being the third movie chronologically, it technically came out two years before the “second” movie. And despite the title, this movie is unrelated to the Stitch! anime that came after it. Now that we got that cleared up, Stitch! The Movie is a decent sequel. The title is pretty misleading though, because it doesn't quite feel like a “movie” so much as it does an hour long television special. Because that's basically what it is. It's the pilot for the TV series which came out just a few weeks after in the summer of 2003. And it does its job. It provides exposition for the main plot of the series, introduces the other experiments before Stitch, and debuts the franchise's central villain. However, Stitch! The Movie's main issue is the pacing. I don't think it needed to be an hour long; I think a 45 minute runtime would have sufficed. There were several scenes that felt like they dragged out longer than they should have, and while the jokes are pretty funny, it's kinda apparent that some of them were placed in to pad out the runtime. The main plot of this movie would also go on to be the basis of the plot for most episodes of the series: an experiment is loose on Kauai and Lilo and Stitch have to find it, capture it, and rehabilitate it. 

However, this movie does get some major points for introducing characters who would go on to be fan favorites in the franchise, namely Reuben (Experiment 625), Dr. Hämsterviel, and Sparky (Experiment 221). And all those characters made a lasting impression in their debut. This movie is also often regarded to be better than most direct-to-video Disney sequels that were coming out at the time, probably because the crew behind it actually had a plan on where they wanted the franchise to go from here. It's also incredible that Disney managed to get almost all of the original voice actors (except for Jason Scott Lee as David sadly) to reprise their roles for this movie and the series. And as mentioned before, the jokes in this movie are funny, the writing is solid apart from the pacing issues, and the animation, while not as great as the original film, isn't half bad considering they were on a TV show budget. When you think about it, this movie is kinda like the Megamind vs. The Doom Syndicate of the franchise. Except, you know, actually good.

It's good to know that even the weakest of the four original animated films wasn't bad. It's a fun continuation of the original film, a good introduction to the series and to the other experiments, and did its job in getting fans excited for what else was to come of the franchise.  

5. Lilo & Stitch: The Series

The pinnacle of 2000s Disney Channel nostalgia. Undoubtedly one of the highlights of that era of Disney television. Although I didn't grow up with cable, I still made the effort to watch this show whenever I could, and it was so much fun each time I caught an episode. The premise itself is pretty simple: an experiment is loose in Kokaua Town and Lilo and Stitch have to capture it before Gantu does. In typical monster-of-the-week fashion, almost every episode introduces a new experiment with its own unique function and it was always a thrill to see the new experiment and what its abilities are. The character designs in this show are top-tier, with all the new alien designs ranging from cute, creepy, and cool! 

Aside from the formulaic premise, there are also a handful of episodes that don't focus on experiments, and these episodes are very good too. There are episodes that expand on the development of the main characters, such as Stitch's fear of reverting back to his old destructive ways, Pleakley having to prove to his homophobic family that he's cishet, Lilo and Nani having to cope during the anniversary of their parents’ deaths, and there are even some episodes that highlight Hawaiian legends and traditions.

Although this series doesn't have quite the same level of maturity as the original film, and is notably targeted towards a younger audience, this series still carries a lot of the themes that were presented in the original film, such as the importance of family, second chances, and Hawaiian culture. The series expands and explores the central lore of the franchise in a way that's fun and engaging. Most of the voice actors from the original film returned for the series, and they bring their A game here. 

A common criticism of the series is that Gantu's character is diminished from that of an intimidating antagonist to a bumbling henchman to a Saturday morning villain. This is a valid criticism and I agree to an extent. But I also appreciate the character development that the writers have Gantu go through in the series, most notably in episodes like “Amnesio” and “Topper”, where we see that Gantu is truly miserable as a henchman and would want to do good when given the chance. This development comes full circle in Leroy & Stitch which once again enforces the franchise's theme of redemption. Also let's be honest, Gantu and Reuben's dynamic is one of the best things about the show. Comedy gold right there.

I also gotta mention the crossover episodes. That shit was peak fiction. It's also genius considering the crossover teasers Disney made to promote the original movie, so having the TV series have not one, not two, not three, but FOUR crossover episodes with other popular Disney shows at the time was an ingenious marketing strategy. Hats off to whoever came up with that idea. Getting to see Lilo and Stitch meet Kim Possible, Penny Proud, the Recess gang, and Jake Long was truly a sight to behold. It's just too bad the show ended a year before Phineas and Ferb premiered. Although maybe the world just wasn't ready for that crossover masterpiece.

So yeah, awesome show. Very nostalgic, fun, and timeless, much like the movie it's based on. Would definitely force my own children to watch it.

4. The Origin of Stitch

Now you're probably thinking, “Really? That 5 minute short that was added as a bonus feature on the Lilo & Stitch 2 DVD that most people never watched or even know about is ranked this high?” Yes. Yes it is. The Origin of Stitch has a runtime of under five minutes, and it was made as a promo for the TV series and a bridge between the second and third films in the franchise. That being said, the writers did not need to go this hard for a DVD bonus feature. The Origin of Stitch is a wonderful testament to both Stitch and Jumba's characters, and shows just how far both characters have come in their arcs within this point in the franchise. If you'd just finished watching the remake (I really hope you didn't) but if you did, this is a perfect palate cleanser. This short conveys Jumba and Stitch's father-son relationship in a very compelling and heartwarming way just within five minutes.

In summary, this short has Stitch accidentally stumble upon Jumba's lab while playing with a soccer ball. He goes inside to retrieve the ball, where he then unintentionally activates Jumba's secret files that showcase the horrifying monsters whose DNA Jumba had sampled in order to create Stitch. This is followed up by a simulation of what Jumba had intended for his newest creation: complete and utter destruction and mayhem. Stitch reacts in horror and shame upon this discovery, and just then Jumba himself arrives in the lab. Upon seeing how upset Stitch is, the evil genius offers his creation some milk and cookies as he explains to Stitch that yes, he did create him with the intention of causing misery and destruction, but ultimately, Stitch did not become the monster he was built to be. And Jumba tells Stitch that despite him not turning out the way he initially wanted, Jumba could not be more proud of the way Stitch turned out. They then share a heartwarming hug, as father and son. 

How freaking sweet is that??? Honestly this just makes me even more pissed about how the remake handled Jumba, because the real Jumba would NEVER. This is how Stitch and Jumba's relationship should be! It's not perfect. Both of them are former “bad guys” who at this point are still learning to be good. But they're not the same people now that they were at the start of the original film. They were both changed by 'ohana. And this short film portrays that beautifully!

If you have never watched The Origin of Stitch, I highly recommend it! You can watch the short in its entirety for free on YouTube, or you can also find it on Disney+. But this short is a must see for Lilo & Stitch fans, and if you love the original film, you're sure to enjoy this short but sweet visual treat.

3. Leroy & Stitch

I remember just how excited I was when the trailer for this movie came out. This was basically 7-year-old me's Endgame and I was hyped beyond all measure! I remember being a bit sad that this would be the finale of the main Lilo & Stitch continuity, but I couldn't wait to see how the final film of the series would turn out.

One great thing about this film is that we see the villains at their very best here. The new antagonist of the film, Leroy, the final experiment created by Jumba for Hämsterviel, is basically everything Stitch would be if he had never reformed. You could argue that introducing an “evil twin” for the protagonist is a tired cliche, but considering the central themes of the franchise, it really works here. Through Leroy, the audience gets to see just how ruthless and destructive Stitch could've been had he never met Lilo. The movie also utilizes Leroy well, playing a significant role throughout the film while at the same time not overshadowing Hämsterviel himself, who is still undoubtedly the main antagonist.

Speaking of which, after an entire 65 episode series of being imprisoned and having to mainly rely on Gantu to do his dirty work, this film finally shows us just how threatening Hämsterviel can be when he's actually given the means to take action. From threatening Jumba at gunpoint to get him to create the ultimate destructive experiment, to using Leroy to round up all the other experiments in a matter of hours when it took Lilo and Stitch three years, to nearly succeeding in his master plan and only being foiled because of a failsafe Jumba added into Leroy's programming. He's also just as funny here as he was in the series. It's really cool that we finally get to see our favorite evil gerbil doctor at his best. It's a shame that the closest we come to seeing him in his element afterward is in the Perfect Memory special of the anime.

In regards to the experiments, it's incredible just how MANY they were able to show in this one movie. Pretty much every experiment introduced in the show appear here, and then some. It's fun because you can watch through the movie several times and then pinpoint where your favorite experiment makes their appearance. Just about every other character throughout the franchise makes an appearance here as well. This movie offered some satisfying closure for the franchise, and we get to see Gantu's character arc come full circle when he finally stands up to Hämsterviel and allies himself with the 'ohana. The relationship between Gantu and Reuben (who finally gets his name in this movie) also gets a nice dose of development, and I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Interestingly enough, this movie delves into the scenario where Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley decide to leave Earth in order to pursue their own ambitions. While Lilo is distraught by their decision, she does ultimately allow them to go. However when the three individual aliens realize how much they miss their family and each other back on Earth, they decide to return home at the end of the film. Interesting how this is basically the antithesis of the remake, where Lilo just happily accepts Nani leaving her behind to go to California. In this movie though, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley realize that their family is more important to them and return to Lilo by the end of the film. That's not to say that you should never try to pursue your own ambitions ever, but that you should also have your priorities straight when it comes to family matters vs personal desires. Lilo is a bit older in this film than she was in the original/remake, so she and Nani aren't quite as dependent on Jumba and Pleakley to be around, and Nani has a stable job at this point. So in this scenario, it's not as bad for the aliens to leave the Pelekais as it was for Nani to leave her 6 y/o sister to her neighbors in the remake. Still, the aliens chose to return to the Pelekais at the end of this movie, so that just makes Remake Nani look even worse tbh. Really hammers in the message of “nobody gets left behind.”

Anyways, this is a great sequel, and stellar finale. Leroy & Stitch lived up to the hype and is one of the best series finales to any Disney Channel show save for maybe Gravity Falls. It sure as hell gives Star vs. The Forces of Evil a run for its money.

2. Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch

Out of all the sequels and spin-offs Lilo & Stitch had gotten, this is the one that comes the closest to matching the original film's tone and central themes. Even the animation style is pretty damn near identical to the original, despite being animated by DisneyToon Studios, which was where most of Disney's direct-to-video sequels were being made at the time. At the peak of the franchise's “experiment era”, it's nice to get a break from all the alien stuff and get back to the true heart of the franchise, which is Lilo and Stitch's friendship and their 'ohana. Stitch Has a Glitch is not only often regarded as the best Lilo & Stitch sequel, but also usually considered one of Disney's best sequels in general. It wasn't hard to see that DisneyToon really locked in for this one.

Taking place before Stitch! The Movie and the series, Stitch Has a Glitch acts more as a direct sequel to the original movie, being set only a few months afterward. Aside from Dakota Fanning replacing Daveigh Chase as Lilo for this film, the majority of the original cast returns, and the animation team made an effort to match the quality of the original film's visuals. Honestly, this film feels like it could've gone to theatres. The writing is also almost up to the same standards as the original, with lots of good humor (the subplot with David and Pleakley was hilarious), interesting character interactions, and seeing what happens when Lilo and Stitch's friendship is challenged. 

This movie offers lots of insight to Stitch as a character, showing his struggles with staying good, and now that he knows he's much happier with his new family, he fears that going back to his old ways will cause him to lose them. His fears seem to be becoming true when he starts being destructive again against his will, and Lilo loses patience with him throughout the film. This all leads up to the film's climax, which does feature a cliche fake-out death, but I feel that this is one of the few times that it actually feels impactful, because we see just how much Stitch has come to mean for Lilo and the rest of his 'ohana. 

We also see the inner conflict with Lilo that extends from her trauma of losing her parents. The movie's main conflict involves Lilo wanting to win a hula competition that her mother had won when she was Lilo's age. Lilo becomes obsessed with winning the competition because she believes doing so would “make her mother proud of her.” When Stitch's malfunctions hurt her chances of winning, she starts to push him away when he needs her most, but this eventually makes her realize that she should have been prioritizing Stitch's wellbeing rather than do what she believed would have appeased her deceased mother. By the film's end, Lilo realizes that Stitch is more important to her than trying to be just like her mother, and that by being there for her family and sacrificing her wants for their needs, she did the noble thing. Nani's words to her at the film's end “Mom would be so proud of you” was such a gutpunch, and it felt very well earned on Lilo's part.

This film also does justice to Jumba's character, as we see just how much he's grown to care about Stitch since the first film. When he figures out why Stitch is glitching, he does everything he can to cure his creation before his condition becomes fatal. And the way that Jumba talks about Stitch throughout the movie very much resembles a father who is concerned for his sick son as opposed to a scientist talking about a study subject, and it is so cool to see how much Jumba's views on his own creation has changed since the first movie. And the way he hugs Stitch's body during the climax is just 😭 If ya know ya know.

Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch may very well be the best Lilo & Stitch sequel, and it's definitely one of Disney's best sequels. This was sadly one of the last films made by DisneyToon before the studio was shut down in 2008, but I'm glad it could go out with a bang with this film, and Cinderella 3 (which is also good).

1. Lilo & Stitch (2002)

Well now, there's a big surprise! The original film is number one on this list, who could've possibly have seen that coming?? But can you honestly blame me? The original Lilo & Stitch is a masterpiece. It basically shaped my entire personal taste in media at the age of three. This movie cemented my love for animation, science fiction, found family, and pretty much cinema and art as a whole. And I find myself appreciating it even more as I get older. As an adult I've come to realize just how nuanced this film really is.

In terms of the Disney library, this is one of their weirdest films. I mean, it's about an alien genetic experiment landing in Hawaii and posing as a dog for a young girl. But the fact that this movie is so weird is honestly one of many reasons why I love it. There had never been a Disney film like it before, and Disney has made nothing like it since (even when they tried to). It's honestly a blessing that the directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois were given as much creative liberty as they had, even if they kinda had to go behind the CEO's back in order to get it. The fact that Disney just let the creative team cook with this one instead of doing the usual executive meddling really shows the true greatness when artists are allowed to display their true vision. Lilo & Stitch was Chris Sanders’ brain child, his first original work that he has been developing since 1985. And it came out magnificently.

Watching the movie, especially nowadays, really makes me miss the 2D animation of Disney. The soft round shapes of the character designs, the flawless way they look in motion, the charming watercolor backgrounds, it's all pure eye candy! Chris Sanders’ artstyle looks incredible in motion, and it gives this movie a unique look that sets it apart from the other movies of the era it's from. The fact that Disney doesn't make movies like this anymore, and likely never will again, is truly a tragedy.

Ok, now let's get into what truly makes this movie great: the story. The first time I watched the movie as a kid, I was too young to fully comprehend Lilo and Nani's situation. But I knew that their conflict was dire, and I cared enough about the both of them that I wanted them to be happy and stay together by the end of the film. As I got older, I came to understand the full extent of their situation. Both of them had recently lost their parents. Lilo is too young to process her grief and has been lashing out constantly, causing her to be ostracized by her peers. And Nani has now found herself becoming a mother to her 6 year old sister at the age of 18. And she desperately needs to step up as a guardian or risk losing her sister to foster care and have her life in the hands of complete strangers who know nothing about her. The stakes are unbelievably high, and when Stitch comes into their lives, he seems at first to be making things worse for them rather than better. But as it turns out, Lilo and Stitch needed each other. Lilo was empathetic to Stitch and was patient with him despite his destructive behavior, because she sees herself in him. She assumes Stitch is lashing out because he's grieving too, and in a sense she's right. Stitch destroys things because it was the only thing he knew, but after meeting this small, broken family, he realizes that he's been missing something. This realization causes him to go into depression and attempt to seek out a family that doesn't exist, only to be reminded by his own creator that he has no greater purpose apart from destruction. Once all the characters are at their lowest points; the Pelekai house is destroyed, Cobra Bubbles arrives to take Lilo, Stitch is rejected by the only family he's ever had, and Lilo gets abducted by Gantu, this is when all the characters come together to rescue Lilo and keep everybody together. Stitch is the one who convinces Jumba and Pleakley to help get Lilo back, and he's the one who ultimately rescues Lilo and saves the Pelekai sisters from being split apart. This is perfect character development, and perfect found family. The story is masterfully written and profoundly nuanced for a family film.

This movie fundamentally changed me as a person at the age of three, and it still holds a special place in my heart 23 years later! It's my favorite Disney film, and one of my favorite films in general! I could gush about how amazing it is all day, but this review is way too long already. If you haven't seen the remake, don't even bother. Just watch the original again, you'll get a lot more appreciation out of it. And show it to your kids too. It's better for them to see a movie with a hopeful and optimistic ending than the downer “realistic” ending the remake tries to convey. Lilo & Stitch is truly the best film Disney made in the 2000s in my opinion, and I'm certain a lot of people can agree.

Aaaaand there you have it! My full review/retrospective of the entire Lilo & Stitch franchise (minus the crossovers). It's pretty crazy how well the franchise held up compared to a lot of other popular film franchises. I'm not really sure what's in store for the future of the franchise, but I'll be here to see what happens. Because I love these characters and I'm holding on hope that more people will realize just how great a story this franchise holds, and it warms my heart that the public are beginning to realize just how incredible the original film is (even if it took a crappy remake to open their eyes to that).

I don't know how to end reviews so…y'all can stop reading now. Bye. 👋

5. Do you respond to comments?

i do!!! currently i have a lot of comments to answer to, because i've been a little away from fandom and specifically from writing since last year, and haven't found it in myself to answer them. but i will!!!!! someday

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

me and you (we can't lose) [eddie X reader] definetely. canon compliant. that's all needed to understand lmao but some of the drabbles for my Forever Halloween Challenge are also very angsty and gory

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

basically all my other fics have happy endings, so that's a hard thing to answer lol i think it's relative

8. Do you get hate on fics?

never did, thankfully!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

i've only ever wrote one smut scene for going home and nothing else in english. in portuguese, i've had a series of three short smut fics that i never finished lol. it's not my thing and it's hard for me to do it because of the language barrier in english, i feel insecure about it. i just prefer writing pure fluff in general

10. Do you write crossovers?

never did, no, cause it's usually not something i like to read as well

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

also not that i know of but that would be so nice if done with permission!

description. haaaate describing things, scenarios, clothes, faces, animals, whatever. i think i'm really mediocre if not entirely bad at it

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

if it's through someone's specific POV, i'm in favor of writing as the character understands it - so if they understand the language, keep it translated and just describe that it was in another language; but if they don't understand, then don't translate either. then you can either put it on a note or make the character who said it translate it. but also, if it's too big of a text, i think it can be annoying. so, mostly short phrases it's good

19. First fandom you wrote for?

McFly rpf reader insert

20. Favourite fic you've written?

ahhh that is such a hard question, i love all my fics so dearly. but i'm gonna go with going home because it's my first and only finished long chaptered fic, and all the research i did for it and everything else involved in writing it that made it a bit more special

Whos everyone favorite sibling >:D

I used to have a simple, straight to the point answer for this one, but then they started to develop more... (If you get what I mean).

Short answer, the most common/ best-known combo's, are Ludwig and Larry, Iggy and Lemmy, Roy and Wendy, and Morton and Junior.

As for the longer, more complex answers,

I'm gonna respond to this one as if the answer comes from the Koopa themselves. (Much more fun that way).

Every time you see "Ian", that's me. (I needed another person to kind of interview them, and since this is my AU, we're using my main OC).

But, as to not make this an unskippable ad, I put a "Keep reading in here". So, for the long answers, go down below.

Some of their answers are longer, and others are pretty straight foreward.

(Also, I colourcode everyone in what they do and say. There are a few letters which are somhow not coloured, but I swear, I edited this like, 4 times already, but they keep showing up. So, please forgive me for that, as that is truly Tumblrs fault).

First up, Ludwig and Iggy.

I think Ludwig and I are the most biased with this question...

My favourite is Lemmy. I mean, he's my twin brother. How can I not?!

And mine is Larry. During our time out on the streets, (time between losing bio parents and found by Bowser), Larry was really, really young... He started seeing me as his parent, and, well... While he definitely also is my little brother, he also feels like my son sometimes... How weird that may sound...

So, yeah... Of course, my favourite is my twin, and Ludwig's is his "son"...

Ludwig leaves to go back to what he was doing before answering this question.

But, honestly? Ludwig is a very, very close second...

He's always been there for me when I was feeling (more physically) down... And, well, he's my favourite science buddy!

(I also really love Morton. The sweetheart looks up to me, and is always there to help. His curiosity for what I'm doing or making is also really admirable, even if he doesn't understand it. Plus, his hugs are the best. (The title "gentle giant" didn't come from nowhere, after all...~)).

The camera switches over to Ludwig, who's walking through the halls back to his room.

To be completely honest, while Larry is probably my number one, I can't deny that Iggy had that spot before that...

He truly cares about everyone's well-being. After all, he has healed my fingers a lot of times, whenever the piano fallboard fell onto my fingers...

Plus, while I am not going to admit this to his face, his hugs are actually pretty calming. Somehow...

Lemmy

Iggy. I mean, of course I dearly love all of my siblings, but, well...

Iggy's my twin... It's really, really hard to beat that.

Roy

Roy flicks his eyes back and forth and sweats a bit at first at hearing the question.

He then folds his arms over his chest and turns his head away.

Pff. Like I have a favourite.

Ian: O, really? Then why do you seem to enjoy their presence so much?

What about the Just Dance battles against Ludwig? Or the study sessions with Iggy? Being Lemmy's spotter during new acrobatic stunts? Being the one to help Wendy when she has a new idea for clothes... Or sparring against Morton... Playing sports against Larry... Or, and don't try to deny this, having those fire breathing contests against Junior?~

Roy sighs as his shoulders sag a bit. He grumbles before he answers.

If you must know... That's exactly why I don't have a favourite.

Roy blushes a bit as he looks away again.

I can't choose...

Wendy

Well, I’m not sure… Roy is probably my favourite, but he is also very much a menace for me.

A few seconds pass.

Actually, so is Junior...

How about this, as they are both as well at the top as at the bottom of my list, they both 50/50, and therefor count as one.

Ian: Yeah, okay, I can work with that... But, give me the explanation in return.

Deep sigh.

Roy has pretty much always been my older brother, you know? While the other three also always have been there for me, Roy was there for me on a different level. But, we also fight quite a bit...

As for Junior. While he's a spoiled little brat, he does, admittedly, have artistic talent. It's often that I explain a design I have in my head, and Junior is able to draw it pretty correctly.

Morton and Larry

Hmm... Can I really only choose one?

Ian, off camera, "Kinda, yeah."

I suppose...

Morton suddenly perks up and smiles.

My favourite younger sibling is Junior, my favourite older bro is Roy, and my favourite big bro is Iggy! There! Just one!

You can't be mad, he did give just one... Just one for different categories...

As for mine, Ludwig.

Larry chuckles and rubs the back of his neck.

It's actually been that way since hatching...

Mom and dad had told us the story of the day I had hatched...

Apparently, I had been crying pretty much since I got out of my egg. Iggy and Lemmy were already home at that point, and the rest weren't trusted enough by mom and dad to safely hold me...

But, no matter who held me, I just wouldn't stop crying...

But then, Ludwig came home. He had been doing some after school stuff, which is why he was late. Mom had pushed me into his arms, becoming frantic about my crying, and trying whatever she could. But the moment I was in Ludwig’s arms, I apparently immediately stopped crying.

So, yeah... Ludwig's my favourite... and he has been that since my hatching...

Lastly, Junior

Morton! He's always there when I need him. He's always willing to make me food or carry me around on his shoulders.

Small bonus bit, just cause I can-

Roy: Wait! How do you know about the Just Dance battles and the study sessions? Those are secrets between them and me!

Ian: I have my ways~

Roy: Growl. Just... Don't tell anyone about that, capiche? No one is supposed to know that Luds and I play Just Dance, nor is anyone supposed to know that I like biology...

[romattraction]

hii !! I honestly felt like talking a bit about this, it's my main dr and how couldn't it be?? it's literally so amazing 💕

info dump about my shared Spiderverse DR !

I was honestly never the big Marvel fan. if anything, I was always one to avoid action or fantasy DR's because I'm the biggest scaredy cat LMAO.

About the DR ✮

but one time my best friend was just talking about this movie which she honestly really loves, and said she wanted to shift there bc of Miles. then I suggested "omg, we should totally shift there together" and she loved the idea so here we are !! Thanks to Miles for being attractive enough for my bestie to want to shift with me 💕

again, I have never been a big superhero fan. in fact, I hadn't even seen a single spiderman movie, INCLUDING the spiderverse saga. I knew the characters because of TikTok but that was pretty much it. I didn't have much of a reason to go there except wanting to see my bestie, we met online a few months and have never met bc of the distance 💔 so yeah, I had pretty much no idea what I was getting into

LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

GIRL IS STUNNING, BEAUTIFUL, BADASS, SNARKY, TRAUMATIZED, CHARISMATIC LIKE- WAS SHE WRITTEN FOR ME???????!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT I'm telling you guys, she became a whole obsession. I feel like, as a shifting motivator, meeting Gwency and meeting my bestie are like, at the same level. I fucking fell in love. so yeah, that's pretty much how this dr came to be.

My DR self !!

besides being the local high heeled superhero of Mexico City (who is often called Spider Heart by the press !), Aruma Quetzal spends a good chunk of her time to dedicate to her career as Mexico's pop princess 🎤

my universe is set in 2006, I'd be 17 and by then I'd be a well established pop star with three full albums released ! although I don't do long concerts or perform out of the city because of my spider duties. but I'd still do things like modelling gigs, sponsors, red carpets, charities, you name it. I still scripted that I get to have free time so idk how that'll work out LMAO. and of course, a tragic emo backstory to really settle in the fact that I'm a superhero (I did script that my past trauma was healed, if I wanted to be depressed I'd just shift stay here 🙄)

I think it's pretty funny bc, me and my bestie's dr selves are pretty much very alike. we're both latina pop queens who are in love with pink and are also sanrio girlies. but there are also some key differences, like Katsumi (her) living in a future period while Aruma is from the past, or the fact that my bestie really went all out with the TRAGIC backstory 😥, but she's stubborn so whatever pooh bear wants 💕 and of course, our personalities are also what sets us apart, besides appearance.

anyways we're really planning to do our method this months full moon !! I'll keep u guys updated on that 🫶🏽

I wasn't even gonna watch the movies tbh. I wanted to be like, "surprise me!", but in the end I had to watch them to understand how the fuck to make my part of the script. I didn't even think about having a s/o, I was thinking Hobie bc he's hot and punk and all, but when I actually watched the movie.... holy shit. like, HOLY SHIT.

[fluffynicoopriv]

Since i've started playing Marcel Rivals like, week ago my brain can't stop thinking about team up's and strategies. Mostly how to build a team if "X" role would be forbidden. This post is results of it lol. This post gonna have three parts each dedicated for each role.

First we starts witch, ekscluding ✨strategists✨

And no by it i don't say that suport is useless or worst or whatever the fuck is going in this dumpster fire of community.

I have two reasons to star's witch strategists.

1. I main both support character and dps, so i'm the most familiar woth those roles

2. Many times when there's no strategists om the team ppl are like "gg, we already lost".

And listen, if you fully eksclude any role in game, it will made stuff more difficult. That's true, every role have there's own streangs and weekneses. But witch good strategy and team communication you can cover up those weekneses.

Im this hipotetical scenerio, let's assume botch teams are coordinating and communicating witch eachothers. There team is well-balanced, you can't play support. How we gonna get around that?

My answer is easy:

Speed and health packs.

Support is not only way to heal. On the map you can find health packs that will heal some of hp.

Knowing when all health packs are places is half of the success. Now another problem is that it won't move. Those packs are have permanent spots ant you can't move them. So you have to get to the fast.

Building your team you should have two things in mind: good defense and speed.

Good defense means that you can take lots of hits and cover up your retreating teammates. Speed mean you can escape and snach health packs before you enemy caught you.

As dps i woud recommends:

— Mr. Fantastic. He can fight on the front line ,and cathing and keeping enemies in place for easier KO's and play as ekstra tank if needed witch one of he's ability, that extend he's hp bar. He can do both in close combat and hit's enemies in the distance.

— Wanda. She will cover skies and ground, her ability to turn invisible can provide her witch fast way to escape and can be great for sneak ataks. Her ability to move on the ground and sky lets her to get faster to health pack while needed. And we all know how annoyingly hard is to hit flying oponend. Her ult also can be really useful. Imagine being hit with Dr. Strangers ult just to hear "pure chaos". Well timed combo can be diabolical.

— Moon Knight. He's fast, he's agile. He's grappling hook and ability to glide let him travel fast and climb on hight points. He's bouncing weapons and anks can do a lot od damage fast and to multiple enemies ad the same time. Absolute lord in mass-destruction. He's well placed ult combined witch anks can be devastating. Great for keeping areas or for flanking.

Well most if not dps are more focused distance shooting, than close combat, an it have a reason. Tanks are gonna be-walking shields and covering retreating allies. Tanks are tend to be on slower side but there are some exceptions, like:

— Venom. He can do a lot of damage and take o told off hits. He can crawl on walls and swings on... Whatever he uses. Great for close combat and front line.

—Dr. Strange. He can keep shields up and opens portals. Why you go find your enemies when you can just... Open portal hidden somewhere and have few seconds of free hits when oposit team tries to spots where you are. Need a retreat, or just some healings? Portal. Came from behind for surprise attack? Portal. Fast travel from place to place? Portal. Strange can just opens portal right next to spawn and boom, free unlimited healing and same spot for you all. As i mentioned before combo of he's and Wanda's ult can be really dangerous if timed right.

— Hulk. Hulk can jump really high and can create force shields to protect himself and allies. Absolute beast in terms of damage and if killed he can transform into bruce banner. It gives free few moments to retread and if protected from other teamers almost impossible to kill. Big, strong, and fast. He can jump into higher spots to retrieve health packs otherwise not available for him. Or just, get them faster.

I know when it comes to speed Spider-Man is speed demon. But building this team i had in mind that spidey is focused on close-combat and i tried to put on front tanks. On frot there's bigger chance to be hit and tanks have bigger chance to survive dou to they're big hp bars. Dps's role is shooting from behind. From big wall that you're tanks will be. Do damage, if tanks needs to retreat? Cover them. Dps are faster but more fragile in terms of hp. Tanks will be there force field, wall that will keed them away. Dps's role here will be mire sneaky, note open 1v1 but more surprise attack. Elimination of thet weak spot, beast teammate, biggest danger, there supporters. Quick attack, and while they're weakened and concentrating on you, front line would hit like a brick wall, while dps shoots from behind. Match with that team would be really difficult and aquire loots of practicing and team work BUT IT IS winnable. I think.

Also character i listed are only suggestions. You easily can add there snipers or other shooters like, Bucky or Squirrell Girl. It's just my silly ide u come up with.

Imagination Has Brought Me Back to Life

One minute me, Tripeye the Reek-O, Howler the Hedge Grog, and Trustless the Teddy Bear Nightmare were raiding some family's fridge and everything was going as planned. The next thing I knew, things went terribly wrong and I have no one to blame but myself as I was the one to put Trustless on guard duty. What the hell was I thinking? Trustless, of all Fugglers! The one who's name was clearly warning me not to trust him to watch our backs!

Regardless, Trustless failed to warn Tripeye, Howler and myself that a human girl was leaving her bedroom. The three of us raiding the fridge didn't hear her door open since we were rifling through her food. I heard Trustless mutter something and when I peeked out to ask him to repeat himself, he was gone. Motherfugger!

"Grumps, what are ya doing?" Tripeye asked, one of this three eyes turning independently of the others to see what I was doing while also allowing him to keep searching. I tried not to growl at the name. Being named after my species was quite insulting, considering my whole team had unique names. But there wasn't much I could do about that. Unoriginal parents and all that.  "Human incoming, Trustless bailed." I whisper-yelled, fur standing on end. Tripeye groaned, muttered an "I told you so" and warned Howler. Despite our scramble to escape, as the human rounded the corner into her kitchen she saw me trying to dart behind the door, and as per usual, she screamed. By now humans had to know about us, right? Why was this such a shock?

Long story short, that brat of a human turned us in. I'll spare you the details of our confinement, it was boring paperwork and other strict to-the-letter stuff. I figured they'd banish us back to our own kind, maybe ban us from the city. But no, we were turned in just in time for another "restock". Which meant a spell in the form of a shot with D.W.W.A.S. in it and getting shoved in a box. What spell was in the syringe, you ask? Why, "Doctor Who Weeping Angels Serum", of course! It turns us from flesh monsters into stuffed toys, and to add insult to injury we aren't able to move when we're in the presence of any human. Yes, much like that Toy Story movie, except we don't decide to flop over, the serum does it for us.

But we are aware, too. Whether that's a curse or a blessing is up for debate. For me, it was a blessing. See, when we're put in boxes and shipped off to stores they set us up on display. But I hardly felt like I was the one on display. I had a front row seat to crazy customers that acted just as bad as any Fuggler! Karens, thieves, bossy managers, people arguing; what a show!

But then there was this man. He saw me and the others and came closer as he pulled out a phone. Ah, pictures. At least this guy was decent enough to have his flash turned off. He hung around for a bit, talking and texting… and then he grabbed my box off the stand! He put me in the main basket - not where the humans put those screeching toddlers - and I knew I was done for. He was gonna buy me, throw me on a shelf like a collectible, and I'd never be able to find where Tripeye, Howler, and Trustless were. Actually, fug Trustless, he needed to be attacked by a dog and have his fugging stuffed innards ripped out! But the others? I was missing them already, and this was just salt in the wound.

My box was put in a big brown bag, and I couldn't help but wonder if the man who bought me would keep me not just as a collectible, but like I was one of those "in pristine condition" items humans hold onto until the value of the item skyrockets decades later. Decades of silence, what a joyous life was awaiting me. At least I was able to zone out of the scenario and fall asleep. I could only close my mind's eyes, so if I try hard enough I can remember what was said and done, but I don't want to bother. After all, I'd rather focus on the reason I'm telling you all of this.

It's because of her.

I was dragged out of sleep when I felt the bag I was in being shuffled and the name of a season being yelled. Then a bit of quiet commotion and ecnouragements to "come here"; what were they expecting to happen? It was Spring, a totally different season! To my surprise however a curious, apprehensive female voice asked what was going on. The owner of the voice came closer and another female replied with a question. "Right or left?" I decided to fully commit to being awake out of pure curiosity. There were a few quiet questions - something about a left hand, April Fool's, and a "for me?" were spoken as my bag was handed off to another human. I tried my best to look up, I wasn't in anyone's line of sight, but I guess the D.W.W.A.S. wasn't content with my hiding place.

"This?" The seasonally-named female asked, and laughter burst out around me. What was so funny?! Ugh, I despise being out of the loop, especially when it came to jokes! "April Fool's!" The one holding me shouted, and my bag was moved once again. I felt hands grab the bag above my head, heard it crinkle as hands parted the top, and my heart was (metaphorically) racing as light shined over me. I closed my eyes - sort of, more like blocked out reality - and braced. Was I about to face my new captor? Was I really just some item thrown from one person to another? Was this my li-

"That actually looks ridiculously cute."

Wait, what? I (sort of) opened my eyes and stared up at the human holding me. Female, wearing a long leopard pattern coat of some sort, the hood up and hiding a bit of her face. Laughter from three other humans surrounded me as I inspected this female closely. She didn't scream. She didn't cringe. In fact…

"I want it! Can I keep it?" "Yes!" "Yay!" "Did you think I was gonna take it?!" "Maybe!"

The one holding me and another female laughed as they spoke, one seemed confused by the short exchange and the other seemed hesitant to accept that she was now my, ugh, "owner".

"I thought that was your kinda thing," said the man who had taken me off the display. Was he referring to me? The female holding me gripped the top of my box and started to tear it open. "EEE!" She shouted joyously as she lifted me to eye level with her, mentioning something about… a gremlin? Gremlin was an odd choice of word. Did she not know what I was?

She truly didn't, I came to realize as she looked from me, to my box, to the tag on my leg. She then began to preen the fur around my eyes and mouth, cooing over how cute the mismatched sized eyes I had were, that my teeth were horrifyingly cute, and how I was "so fluffy".

What the heck was wrong with this human?! I mean, she wasn't wrong - I'm adorable - but most humans were off-put by my appearance. Despite that, for the next little while, she was hugging me and talking to two other females about me. My "gremlin ears", the button on my butt that was apparently "special", all spoken of fondly. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad, after all.

Eventually, after she took a few pictures of me, the human I was gifted to took me into her room. She set me on her desk, then with a considering look she put me on a smaller stand atop the desk and let me lean against a computer. So now here I stand (lean technically), staring at her as she types and giggles and hums - is my presence somehow comforting? This is the strangest human I've ever met. She looked up at me and smiled, leaning closer as she listed off a few nicknames I could use to refer to her. I don't think she actually expects me to answer, thankfully, but it's a nice gesture.

All in all, I guess this isn't too bad. Her family seems to think I'm cute but a little creepy, but at least they don't outright shun me so that's a bonus! I wonder what happens next? Only time will tell if I end up left to collect dust or if this human decides to keep surprising me.

Oh, and my new name is Ewok. That made me (internally) laugh my button off.

[parksprout]

Sprout Journal 11/4/24

Wow! What a day! I have so much to say about today, but I'll try to keep it brief. So first of all, I hate the time change more than almost anything else in existence. That stuff messes me up so bad!! I woke up at 5am dude, what on earth is there even to do at 5am? I ended up cleaning my room for a lil bit before the sun rose and got dressed for school extra early, so that was nice at least. I somehow managed to rush out of the house early and forget to grab my breakfast, so my banana oatmeal will have to wait another day ToT

On my walk to school I listened to the rest of the first Ghost album and oh my god! I am becoming such a big fan of them so quick, their music is so striking both instrumentally & lyrically. I need to actually read their lore and become a real fan but so far I am LOVING this band. Tobias Forge's accent is also so nice!! That lil bit of Swedish that comes out as he sings adds such a twist to his style. But after my walk to school, I settled into Spanish class for my oral exam - which I think I did pretty dang good on! We had three random prompts that we could've been given, and I unfortunately got the one prompt I didn't have time to practice before the exam, but I aced it anyways! I didn't stutter once, I conjugated all of the verbs in the correct tenses, and my professor let me use the e ending because I'm nonbinary instead of the a (feminine) or o (masculine) ending which made the language work a lot better for me! After Spanish class I had Creative Writing class, which I unfortunately am behind on. I didn't read the chapters in the novel we're supposed to be reading for the rest of the semester. We actually had a different professor today and will have a different one for the next three weeks! Our main professor had his baby last week. He seems like such a good father, apparently he's taking full time care of the baby while his wife rests ToT how adorable??? If I ever have a kid I wanna be like that, taking care of my partner while they recover. Anyways our new professor introduced herself in such a funny way. I could hear the distinct clop of her faux alligator skin platform shoes echoing down the hallway from a half mile away, and she burst into the classroom late with a flourish then SLAMMED the door behind herself. She's so quirky and chic. She was wearing this seashell patterned dress shirt, fancy ass corduroy pants that I really am jealous of, and even more jewelry than I wear each day! She led us through a really fun discussion in class.

After that, my Anthropology professor called off so I had an almost four hour period of downtime during which I told myself that I was gonna do a bunch of reading, but instead I ended up just posting to tumblr and texting my [REDACTED]. We talked so much this morning and it was so fun ToT I know I shouldn't be ridiculous and hope too much about things so soon, but at the very least we're communicating a lot better than we have in months regardless of what we are. I do keep finding myself sending them hearts, or messing up and saying a pet name. I called them babe earlier out of reflex and deleted the message super fast, I don't know if they even saw it? I think that if we do become a couple again I'm gonna find myself laughing over how awkward I've been while trying to keep my natural inclination towards affection repressed. Either way, our conversations were super fun today, but I started getting both too feelys and wanting to say things I shouldn't like the big four letter word, and also I started getting a bruuuttaalll headache. I had to buy myself a water and some acetaminophen and put my phone down for a while.

Archaeology class was after that, and it was such an interesting lecture! We had a guest lecturer today and she discussed the actual process of applying for, obtaining, and working field jobs specifically within Cultural Resource Management. So, CRM is this pseudo-governmental job in archaeology that typically requires you work with both state governments and construction agencies. Basically, anytime there's a state or federally funded construction project it's legally required that the construction company and state pay for archaeologists to examine the site to make sure that no artifacts/cultural materials are being damaged. It's the bulk of all field work conducted by archaeologists today and probably what I'm gonna end up doing as my career!

Gosh this is turning out to be a lot. After that I went to the gym and worked my ASS off. I wrote down what I did so here it is :3

15 minutes (two miles) on the elliptical as a warmup

3 sets of 10 shoulder press reps at 85 lbs

1 set of 10 shoulder press reps at 110 lbs

3 sets of 10 leg raise machine reps at 140 lbs

1 set of 15 leg raise machine reps at 200 lbs (I MAXED OUT THE MACHINE MY LEGS ARE SO STRONG OUGH)

3 sets of 10 incline bench machine reps at 85 lbs

1 set of 10 incline bench machine reps at 110 lbs (this one I barely managed omg)

15 minutes (two more miles) on the elliptical to finish off strong!

I was sweating so much by the end omg. I ate a protein bar and had probably 1.5 liters of water while at the gym aklsdjfhaksdjf but I'm loving the effect that working out has on my mentality for the rest of the night after I get home. Also, the people are starting to recognize me there and someone even cheered me on today!

This is a lot. Besides that, I called my sister and got some super solid relationship/self care advice, got stuff to make the bnuuy their christmas presents in the mail, and played a bunch of bass! I also recorded myself singing along to two songs I really heavily fw and sent it to the Bnuuy as well, and got myself some food at my favorite local restaurant for the first time in a while!

It was a very good day <3 thank you for listening tumblr, I love you! Have a good night everyone

[verishere]

For the OC ask game, how about 3, 5, 9 and 14 for Liam or Freya? (choose which if any you do for each <3)

Oh, you asked the hard ones, how dare you!

/s

3 for both

Overconfidence, I think? My problem with writing characters- before I began actually writing them out fully, I mean when I was just writing a summary of them and otherwise leaving them in my head- I didn't give the characters enough flaws, if at all, and Liam is the best example of that. Overconfidence is the only character flaw he had that actually costed him during any scenes that I have planned out, and while it's true I'm probably gonna find a lot more as I keep writing, rn I don't have more than that.

Freya's is being too trusting. Even after Nirum's betrayal she trusts people too much, especially after she loses her memories. The way this costs her is actually one of the few things I am saving instead of spoilering, and it's a very, very late thing, so it's probably going to be months before I write about it, but hers is being too trusting. This one is definitively her flaw.

5 for Liam again.

In simpler words than below, for the ultimate goal he will go all the way, for most goals he will stop short of even interfering much with other people's lives.

I mean. Each character I have actually fully dies for the cause at some point. Yeah they can be reborn but still. The ultimate goal- a second blessed years- is paramount over literally everything. So I'll use a lesser goal instead, Liam is for any goal that is not contributing to the main goal (most of his actions during the Dark Years were contributing to "when the Final War breaks out, I want the decks stacked for our hand" so only counting goals that were not at all related to the Final War) he is typically unwilling to kill unless the target would be like, a serial killer with dozens of victims. Of all his family he hates to kill (or execute, since he's a high king) the most, but for example something nostalgic of his is stolen? If it's something important but not world shatteringly so he will hunt for the theft, ask if anyone had seen it, post flyers in the area, etc, but after he finds who did it he will usually pardon them with no more than a warning, and if he can't find them, he will miss whatever it is but won't go more than asking around the area.

9 for both. What lyrics don't I associate with these two. My playlists for my OCs- back when I actually updated those playlists- was ordered "Freya" "Liam" "any other Nulyradon" and "any other Nuthri". The Freya and Liam ones were individually larger than their respective family's entire collection, by a long shot.

For Liam, I guess

"I am the prophet, with the answers you seek,

Time, I've unlocked it, I see past and future flowing free"

No Longer You, from Epic the Musical. For I think very obvious reasons.

And then Freya, "I longed for peace, but you couldn't leave it be,

Now you've played your part in this forever unfinished symphony"

A derivakat song, somehow for a dream SMP character (the fuck HAPPENS in that it's a minecraft roleplay series why do so many fansongs fit my OCs talking about the end of the fucking world as they know it-) named "Why"

14 for both. Liam first.

simpler than that, he wants to be seen as relatable rather than put on a pedestal.

He wants to be seen as a person again. The Watcher is a mythological figure, the only person left with power in the world who the people know 100% for sure was during the Blessed Years, since no one knows who the suns Keeper is or where/when they're from. Liam is both the Watcher and the Keeper, so he has three personas- himself, the Watcher, the Keeper- and in only one of those is he treated as a human being rather than a monolith of opposition against Nirum, or as a seemingly natural phenomenon, unstoppable as the tide. Even his own family after he returns to them from being the Watcher and things treats him differently, like they don't know how to talk around him, since he is by that time the only one of them with wings, befriended the Nuthri, and looked Nirum himself in the eyes and denounced him. The Watcher is treated like a god and is actually worshiped as one by many religions- I don't have gods in my world, just wielders of some godlike things, but many people THOUGHT they were gods- and even among the nonreligious that awe is still there, even among his own family.

WOW that was heavy, lets do Freya now. She wants to be seen as the carefree figure who makes friends with pretty much anyone. She doesn't want respect, or awe, she just wants to meet people, have fun, form relationships, and party. She did not like the concept of queenship once it was eventually explained to her by Nrolin and Vlorindul.
