#Joshua loves Travis

Now the Antis are saying that Aelin giving Chaol the ring back is Elain giving back the necklace to Azriel which is why Gwynriel is endgame and I have never rolled my eyes so hard before!!!!

[wonuwrites]

Hellooooo, I saw the reaction of seventeen to black widow🥺, I could ask you for a second part of that reaction, what would they do when accompanying you on the set, would they talk with the rest of the cast, would they record you or I don't know😘

ooo yall love supportive Seventeen!~ I don't blame y'all. Sorry this took awhile.

Sure I'll do my best <3 In case yall didn't see the black widow one: x

-> S. Coups:

Seungcheol would blend in to the producers of the movie where he watched. He would NOT want to bring any kind of attention to himself because this was your moment. He wanted to watch you in your element and would be staring at you with such love and pride. He would hug you in between scenes and constantly compliment how you executed scenes. He was the bestest and most perfect partner to bring to filming days.

-> Jeonghan:

Jeonghan would come to filming days as a surprise. He'd have your favorite bouquet of flowers and would order a food truck to come. He wouldn't talk much to the cast because he is a bit more shy but anyone would just know how proud of you he was. He would be smiling at you every time you were acting or just standing on the set. He was so proud of you. <3

-> Joshua:

Oh so boyfriend. That's Jisoo. He would be smiling at you from the background as you slayed every line and would be shocked by the dialogue even if he already knew the script because he helped you with lines shortly before you started to film. He was friendly with the rest of the crew and other actors but he was there for you. Everyone knew that. He was so proud of you.

-> Jun:

Jun would be like a fly on the wall when you were being filmed. He would be monitoring you the whole time and his face would be very similar to how he was while watching the Spell MV. Once certain scenes were finished though he would be all smiles and would tell you how amazing you were. He was your biggest fan and everyone with half a brain cell knew it.

-> Hoshi: (Ok so this is going to be very niche but y'all know im a swiftie/carat atp lmfao just hang with me for a second.)

Y'all know how Travis Kelce looks at Taylor Swift when she's performing or anything like that? Well, that would be Soonyoung with you. He would be staring at you with so much pride and would just have such a soft smile on his face. He would observe everything and would constantly swoon when you would come over to him in between scenes. He was your biggest fan and you along with everyone else knew it.

-> Wonwoo:

I feel like Wonwoo would be fangirling because he was on a Marvel set. Sure he was proud of you but he would just be so into the sets and the plot. If you were to be like "you like Marvel more than me," he would just scoff and say "you are literally Black Widow, I love you the mostest," or he would tease you by saying "depends on the day." Either response would cause your to roll your eyes and kiss his cheek. Overall, I feel like he would be such a supportive partner on set. He'd make sure you were hydrated. If you were sleepy he'd offer his shoulder during breaks. Just so perfect.

-> Woozi:

Even though Jihoon is more comfortable in his own home or studio, he would be at the set whenever he could be. He wanted to show you support just like you did for him. He'd be in the shadows but you would know when he was there. He would be smiling and taking pictures of you. He was just so proud of you doing what you loved and oh my god seeing you in your element was just so precious to him. He enjoyed when he could come to set.

-> DK:

On days Seokmin came to visit you on set, you would feel like a superstar. He would be so soft because this was your moment and not his. He would be watching you kick ass and just would feel so emotional seeing his baby be in her element. During takes, he would constantly compliment you and he would help you with lines if you asked. He was there for you. So many of the crew just found him so precious and would think you both were goals.

-> Mingyu:

Oh this beefcake of a MAN would have his phone out and take so many behind the scenes photos and videos of you acting. Mingyu often would tell you how proud of you he was but he showed every time he came on set. He also became basically part of the crew family. He knew all the directors and so many of the crew staff by name. When he came on set, everyone was so in love with him and his charms but his heart eyes were always directed at you, his precious lil actress.

-> Minghao:

Minghao is one of the members that goes to other members solo or group shoots to show support so naturally he would be at your shoots as well. He would be similar to Jihoon and be in the shadows but during breaks he would be near you and complimenting you. His whole attention would be on you and he just had so much pride toward you.

-> Seungkwan:

Seungkwan would treat your filming days like they were the most fun things ever. He was your personal cheerleader and your happy little pill. No matter the scene, he had such a proud smile on his face and would constantly tell you that you were doing such an amazing job. He would always have an extra iced americano on hand. Some of your coworkers would tease and call him your "assistant" instead of your boyfriend which he'd just joke back and say "isn't that the same thing basically?" lmfaoooo.

-> Vernon:

oh boy Hansol would be cheesing the whole time. When I said he would be there every step of the way I mean it. He would be basically besties with set designers and on first name basis with the director. If people had no idea who Hansol, they would assume he was working on set because that's how often he was there.

-> Dino:

Chan would be your biggest hype man ever. When you got done acting a scene he would have a bottle of water ready for you and would massage your shoulders and shit. He would constantly compliment you and would just feel so much pride. He'd also text his members things like "this movie is going to be the best." He was just so so so proud of you.

List of Official/Official-Adjacent Pacific Rim Media

Here's a list of Pacific Rim media for y'all Pacific Rim fans who want to check out as much of it as possible!

PACIFIC RIM (2013 FILM) Usually considered the primary text of this franchise. Pacific Rim fans mostly agree it's good.

PACIFIC RIM NOVELIZATION BY ALEX IRVINE The novelization of the 2013 film. The book's writer, Alex Irvine, had texts from Legendary Pictures work with, but some of the information was outdated. Furthermore, the book has a cynical, smug tone and comes off like it's written for the type of audience who thinks CinemaSins is actual media criticism. The only thing it's really good for is for scraping out lore, but it's full of contradictions and occasionally uses outdated lore, so you have to compare/contrast it with other materials.

TALES FROM YEAR ZERO Authored by Travis Beacham, this comic explores the origins of the PPDC and the Jaeger program. It's interesting for lore, but story-wise, it might not be engaging if you aren't into Travis Beacham's particular romantic storytelling tastes. Also, if you're a puritan who gets offended when main characters are kinda fucked up people, this isn't for you.

TALES FROM THE DRIFT Authored by Travis Beacham, this comic tells the haters-to-lovers story of Duc and Kaori Jessop, pilots of Tacit Ronin. Mildly interesting for lore, and another romance-oriented story. (Beacham loves those.)

PACIFIC RIM: MAN, MACHINES, & MONSTERS The official artbook. Has some interesting information and lore, though it also contains a few typos and references outdated worldbuilding.

TRAVIS BEACHAM'S TUMBLR After Pacific Rim's release, Travis Beacham answered many fans' questions. While he was often cryptic and straight-up refused to answer certain questions for fear that he'd spoil a future story, he still provided quite a bit of insight. You can visit his old blog at travisbeacham.tumblr.com

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING Largely panned by fans of the original film. Partway through production, the sequel to Pacific Rim was handed off to another director, and many plot elements were hastily changed with little to no regard for the rich worldbuilding developed by Travis Beacham and Guillermo del Toro, or even story coherency. The film never gives really your brain space to breathe, so it's very difficult to follow the story. Moreover, it misses the thematic and allegorical tones of the first movie, and lacks its occult influences. Overall, it's a hollow followup to Pacific Rim.

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING NOVELIZATION BY ALEX IRVINE Fundamentally, it's the same story as Pacific Rim: Uprising. The upside is that Alex Irvine's writing is significantly improved, and the story is much easier to follow in novel format. The downside is that you don't have John Boyega's acting talent.

PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING JUNIOR NOVELIZATION BY BECKY MATHESON It's more or less the same as above, but edited down for a younger audience.

THE ART AND MAKING OF PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING The PRU artbook. I've never read this one, so I couldn't tell you what's in it aside from the very obvious.

PACIFIC RIM: AFTERMATH A prequel comic to Pacific Rim: Uprising written by Cavan Scott, Aftermath tells two stories: one focuses on Jake Pentecost and his relationship with his father; the other on what happened to Hannibal Chau and Joshua Griffin (one of Vulcan Specter's pilots) after the kaiju war. The comic makes excellent use of the lore, and the stories are great.

PACIFIC RIM: AMARA A prequel comic that focuses specifically on Amara Namari. I have mixed feelings about it; the mini-Jaeger designs were great but I felt that the actual storyline was a little melodramatic. I dunno, read it for yourself and see what you think.

PACIFIC RIM: ASCENSION A prequel novel to Uprising by Greg Keyes, this story gives life and focus to many characters who didn't get a lot of attention, including the Kaidonovskys and the cadets. Mako Mori is given the narrative respect she deserves, and Hermann Gottlieb's characterization is top-notch. The author makes use of the lore provided by Legendary Pictures to weave a rich and fascinating narrative that puts the actual Uprising film to shame.

MAKING OF/BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE There's a number of videos out there on YouTube, which you can find by searching up.

PACIFIC RIM CONCEPT ART There's quite a lot of concept art out there. You can start here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, or search Pinterest or whatever search engine for Pacific Rim concept art.

PACIFIC RIM: THE BLACK A cash grab produced by Netflix, The Black disregards Pacific Rim's rich worldbuilding and follows bland, generic cartoon protagonists through a bland, generic cartoon plot loosely - loosely, mind you - based on the films. It tries to be dark, but it has all the skill of a sixteen year old edgelord about it. Also, the production values are nonexistent. You will miss absolutely nothing worthwhile by skipping over it. If for some reason you really want a Pacific Rim story where child soldiers are framed as a good thing, just read Pacific Rim: Ascension. If you want dark, watch Pulp Fiction or From Dusk 'Til Dawn. If you want a story where somebody makes a religion out of turning people into monsters, watch Midnight Mass or play/watch a no-commentary playthrough of Resident Evil 4 or 8. If you want an AI that looks after two stranded children, watch 3Below. Seriously, there is nothing The Black does that something else doesn't do infinitely better. "But most of these aren't Pacific Rim stories-" Wrong. Any story can be a Pacific Rim story if you're not a coward. And just about anything is a better Pacific Rim story than The Black.

PACIFIC RIM: BLACKOUT Prequel comic to Pacific Rim: The Black. Haven't read it, but it's written by the same guy who wrote Aftermath so it's probably a sight better than The Black.

Newish Comics:

Action Comics #1072: I am enjoying following the path of both of these stories, but I'm getting the vibes that I need some things to start happening soon, rather than stacking up more mystery boxes.

Still delighted by Kenan and Kon's antics though. The decision to team them up continues to pay off.

Detective Comics #1090: look, have we seen the premise of Thomas helping characters he probably shouldn't have, as a doctor, and that leading to disaster down the track before? Yes. Am I going to enjoy the parallels again anyway? Also yes. Get Leslie into this plot, Tom Taylor, for some support for Thomas' tendencies.

Nightwing #119: My first thought here is how nice it is to see a run that's picking up smoothly from the last one and where the writer is fully indoctrinated on Dick/Babs flirting from the Dixon days. It's got potential and so far I don't mind the characterisation.

Absolute Wonder Woman #1: I think this is probably going to end up my favourite title from the Absolute line. The art was beautiful and full of character, and I really loved the characterisation of Circe in this, and how she moves from indifferent to a mother. "How you fall in love with a child is by raising it." gaaaaaaah I had those words still ringing in my head last night as I was supervising bathtime and teeth brushing.

Green Arrow #17: and we finally get this book handed off from Joshua Williamson. First half was more tidying up of the Absolute Power mess (without much real resolution, but we all need to move on from that plot), but the new run with Chris Condon looks like it has some promise. I'm happy to go with it for the second.

The Flash #14: Skartaris time! I still need to actually get to the point where I understand what the current timeline of Skartaris is from Flashpoint onwards, because my personal understanding is that Travis should be DEAD DEAD DEAD but yet he's still around. I suspect this is because nobody at DC actually cares about Warlord lore enough to make this a problem, aside from Mike Grell, who at this point is in 'sure, that art proposal sounds fun to draw' life stages.

Anyway, the concept of the Wests all going to Skartaris for some family bonding time is hysterical (by both definitions) and I eagerly await to see how Spurrier handles adapting it for an audience who isn't already used to Skartaris oddities. The fact we have floating Ancient Atlantean buildings in the art is a very promising sign to me, though.

Zatanna: Bring Down The House #5: This was a good conclusion to the story. It's been very much Black Label levels of existing in its own continuity, and I respect how it was put together. I do wonder how much of Tamaki's insistence on how she characterised and centred rabbits in the run is influenced by and in opposition to that classic picture of Giovanni Zatara from The Books of Magic #3 with the dead rabbit.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #18:

I really liked the art in Doubt. It was quite effective.

The Constantine and Streaky team up remained completely unnecessary but oh well, not written for me.

Reflections was an interesting team up! I wouldn't have put M'gann and Jackson together (actually I just realised this was probably influenced by YJA, carry on), but they do both have interesting placement in their narratives of Xebel v Atlantis and White v Green Martian. Wish the story had leant a bit more into that outsider narrative from the villain to try and convince them.

Why do we have a random Harley Quinn story from nowhere in the continuity? anyway.

Robin Season is uh not particularly good Tim and Damian characterisation (in that the one-upmanship competition doesn't really feel how the two of them compete?) but it's full of interesting background detailing for indications of setting.

The Warlord #73: This week for our second trip to Lost World of Skartaris, we're starting out strong as Travis is still trapped in the bondage tree from last week.

Terrible bondage peril! Over a fire!

Only to be further attacked by flying dinosaurs of some description!

Thanks for the art, Dan Jurgens.

We spend 6 pages of this comic with Travis trying to escape from the tree vines clinging to him, while also fighting the dinosaurs. We have never been more back.

In terms of the plot that doesn't involve tying Travis up in perilous situations, we're still tracking down the plague unicorn. The unicorn dies in a swamp, the gang figure out that Scarheart, our non-Skataran speaking friend from another dimension probably drank magical healing water from a pool which is why he doesn't have Unicorn Plague, and they go off to get some to heal everyone who's sick. Shakira gets better and falls immediately for Scarheart. They decide to hang out with the group of travellers who speak to animals and leave the main story group for a bit.

Also Travis uses up all his bullets, yet again. I must assume he just has a supplier in Skartaris by now who's worked out how to make ammunition.

⟢ be patient! doing card and chart readings takes time, but card readings are usually easier, so they are likely to be answered first in comparison to chart readings. i am seeing every request and will get to it!

⟢ no questions about death or true crime. please, let the dead rest

⟢ for now, readings are about musical artists only. i may make it broader later on down the road, but i want to narrow things down for now

i was tagged by @ambernotember for a writers wrapped, a little different to the normal year of writing that i just posted!

favourite story you worked on in 2024: my favourite, other than the one i mentioned in my previous post, would have to be it's nice to have a friend; this was my first fic on a rarepair that i've been thinking about for a long time, and it was so exciting to create something people had never really thought about.

favourite character that you wrote in 2024: i really really loved creating an omc, phoenix, from my tommy begins fic. he was just such a fun one to build, and he has a very elaborate backstory that's never explained inside the fic... just. sm fun

favourite scene you worked on in 2024: hands down it would have to be the eddie diaz/travis montgomery scene in chapter 14 of heartbreak to the third degree!

favourite piece of inspo you used in 2024 (i.e. song, movie, etc): pretty much any song on my tevan breakup playlist was used as fuel for my fics, but the big one would be wildfire by joshua bassett.

favourite line or lines you've written: these from my eddie mcd series

He just wants his dad back. For Prom. Graduation. To move him into his college dorm and pretend he isn’t crying when Christopher’s not looking; to give him advice that he won’t take, but he should; to wrap his arms around his son when some girl breaks his heart, really breaks his heart and makes him want to cry like a child again. To be super annoying at his college graduation and take ten billion pictures of him with his diploma in terrible lighting, and to sit in the front row of his wedding and get a little too drunk at the reception. And the little moments, too; watching telenovelas and making dinner and facetiming their family back in Texas and visiting his mother’s grave on sunny weekends. Hell, Christopher would take five more minutes with his father if it meant another world-class screaming match, where Eddie brings up Shannon and Chris brings up Kim and Josh tries and fails to mediate it all, because it would be his dad. It would still be his dad, with the mustache that looked like something from a porn website and an ill-fitting grey t-shirt that he’s been wearing as a pajama top since Christopher started school. He would take that. He would take anything if it meant his dad was here.

writing piece or accomplishment you're proud of: in 2024, i completed a month-long challenge within the 31 days for the first time!!! completing whumptober was so satisfying and defo smt i'm proud of.

2000 Followers Celebration!!!

& Fallout Alphabet Poll End Results!

Hey all, so the secret is out! (Kinda) But all these past polls have been the prelude to my 2K Followers Celebration BONANZA. (That's not the official title, I just wanted to use the word BONANZA).

Anyway, a HUGE, MASSIVE thank you to every single one of you folks who are a part of this little community and who've supported me and my fanfiction writing journey for the past few years (which is crazy that it's been that long, omg.) But I love and appreciate you all SO MUCH and am absolutely baffled that I've made it to this. I thought 100 was crazy, then I thought 1K was crazy and then it just kept on going! Ahh, I'm just so so so glad that there's a thriving Fallout community out here of amazing writers, artists, and fans that are still so involved 😊

I don't know what I would do without this space, so thank you all for being a part of it <3

ANYWAY (x2) Here are the final results to all 22 polls that I posted, with more event details just below!

So I've posted the 1st place winners, 2nd place, and then a 3rd "runner up" position that will only be filled by non-companion npcs, just to give them a chance to shine, and me a chance to write for some folks I'm not as used to. For the purposes of the 2k event, I will only be using the 1st place winners for the 'prompts' (which I'll explain in another post), and then a few of the 2nd placers and (almost) all of the runner ups will be used in ANOTHER upcoming event that I'm going to start prepping for (because I'm an insane person).

New(ish) Comics:

Last week carryover entry –

Black Canary: The Best of the Best #3: there was still some delays getting this into the shop here, so I didn’t get around to writing it up till now. Still very satisfying, in terms of the writing around Dinah and Shiva. I feel the level of ruthlessness here is more in line with the way the two of them are together, than say how Shiva is around Cass.

We got Bruce turning up! And he appeared mostly to be grumpy and ‘I know you’re hiding things from me’ which is on brand for a Dinah-focused book. Also Ted Grant is the best, he loves his niece Dinah so much, and that was fully on display.

Absolute Superman #3: gosh does this run love dunking on AI generated text.

Still enjoying Lara having character and purpose, and all the Krypton-based section of the story.

Batgirl #3: I like how this is playing with Shiva’s backstory (in a different but complementary way to what King is doing right now, in terms of what’s being picked out). Also personally very excited to see Nyssa back, because I always hated they just murdered her immediately in OYL and wasted the potential drama she brings. Also just for myself, I’m really glad to see a head on discussion of Cass's skillset and whether she is truly unbeatable, and how for multiple reasons, her 'I always win' doesn't necessarily play out, particularly when she's emotionally involved in the situation.

Batman #156: Honestly I spent most of this watching Zdarsky move the pieces into place to hand over his run. (Which. As I’ve said before, he clearly built offramps into all of his stories; he’s just finally using one) Riddler actually challenging Batman with riddles is fun and almost retro in some ways – it’s nice to have Eddie actually doing his thing, looking cheerful about it, and overlooking a giant flashing problem.

Birds of Prey #17: I think the thing I liked most here is that we circled back and fixed the ‘Amazons are mad at the Birds’ situation from the start of the run. A satisfying payoff. I also enjoyed the evil minions going “that’s a New God, we did not sign up to deal with that” and bailing at the sight of Barda.

Justice League: The Atom Project #1: look I’m interested in the ‘people’s powers have moved around’ plot, but I am profoundly uninterested in Captain Atom and I’m already suffering through Jenny Sparks.

I am hypothetically interested in this multibook JL plot, but I might let it build up to read later.

Shazam! #19: you know how Green Lantern can go through phases where everyone’s using Hal’s oath, and then people get creative again and give varying individual ones? Well, Shazam is definitely in the ‘everyone gets their own pantheon’ part of the cycle again, and personally I’m all for it.

I love Mr Mind, he’s so calculatedly hilarious and villain-monologuing in his evil. And he’s exactly the way I enjoy him the most in this story.

Two-Face #2:  The benefit of a legal drama set in a court run by villains is that all the weirdness, differences in system and inaccuracies wash over me in a wave of ‘look this isn’t supposed to be perfectly accurate’. I can forgive and move on. In terms of Harvey and Two-Face’s separate plots – I’m loving the separation in the colouring and artstyle between them.

The Warlord #83: this week in Skartaris we opened with simultaneous panel plots for what Travis and Tara were up to. One of my favourite comics tropes, so thumbs up there.

Jennifer and Joshua meet up with Aram Al Ashir, who if you’ve forgotten is the erstwhile ‘second best thief in Skartaris’ and also prince of Kaambuka.

This guy. The one who dresses like a jester. That’s what passes for formal attire in his kingdom. He just wants to play annoying rogue-bard to Travis.

In the far future, Travis’s slave rebellion is going well until they try to kidnap the US president and discover he’s lost his mind from guilt (over causing nuclear war) and now is being controlled by his secretary. Travis breaks through the president’s belief it’s all a bad dream and our vizier-like secretary karks it.

Look there’s a whole lot of very US rah rah imagery here. Beating people up with the seal of office etc.

(This sure is America!!!)

Anyway, after the US president returns to his right mind he cancels slavery, then shoots himself out of guilt. USA! USA!

And now far future has no US President! But what they do have is…the chance to make Travis’s life harder!

USA! USA!

(Of course they try to make him president. He’s already consort to a queen)
