ok so I saw your post abt wanting to write for pjo but you don't know what and you've only read the books so I figured I'd send a request or sum. now idk if you do headcannons cause I haven't followed you for long, but headcannons abt a relationship with percy? 🍓
🌊Dating Percy Jackson~ (HCs)🌊
Summary: what’s it like dating the son of poseidon and resident blue-enthusiast
Pairing: percy x gn!reader (i think I kept it pretty gender neutral!)
Genre: fluff
T/W: none
A/N: Hi nonny! I hope you like this! Thank you for the request and for getting me out of my writing slump! Pls lmk what you think of it if you feel like it and until next time ciao!
Warning! Not proof read🥹🙏apologies 🥹
I think its a given that percy is the epitome of boyfriend material
I mean the man literally gave up immortality for annabeth!
But this isnt about annabeth,this is about you!
So for the sake of this post let’s assume you both met the same way!
The moment percy saw you he was entranced!
It was a normal day of practice and he was out in the practice pavilion to try his hand at archery(this was when he was still unclaimed)
He was struggling to even hit the target when he turned his head to talk to his instructor from the apollo cabin,only to see you sparring with the camp’s best swordsman,luke castellan!
You were expertly dodging and blocking his advances and while luke seemed to be getting frustrated,you looked smug and excited almost. It was then that perch jackson developed a hugee crush on you
Over the next few days he made attempts to talk to and interact with you,he joined you at the campfire and during these little interactions was when he realised you weren’t just pretty,you had a personality as bright as the sun and your sense of humour was elite!
When he got claimed you helped him accept it and even though you were still unclaimed it really helped him. You listened to him when he needed a friend and helped him see the brighter side of things.
And over time even you seemed to fall for him, i mean what wasnt to love,he was funny,sweet,supportive; everything a girl could ask for!
So when you confessed to him during a sparring session after having just beaten him,he was both confused and overjoyed!
You helped him up and he confessed to feeling the same.and as you both got older,your bond grew stronger.sure there were little hiccups along the way but you always made it work.
Percy noticed everything about you, your little quirks, your little gestures; everything
He was the first to notice when you were feeling even a little bit down and he always had your favorite snacks on hand for when you needed cheering up!
He always took you down to the beach or near the river,exploring both in his little protective bubble was the coolest,most awesome thing you’d ever experienced and even though you felt scared at times,he’d hold you close and not let go until you were on dry land.
Making blue food together in the off season and spending time at his and his mum’s apartment was heavenly,especially your home didn’t exactly feel like a home in the first place.
Sally loved you! She always teased the two of you when you curled up on the couch to watch movies and was just happy her son found someone.
During quests he always had your back but also knew you were perfectly capable on your own,i mean you practically taught him how to sparr yourself!
Through the losses and the gains,the battles and the hardship,you stayed together and helped eachother grow.
You loved him with all your heart and he the same. He was loyal to fault and would never judge or criticize you,if he did it was merely constructive criticism,nothing to belittle you or make you feel insignificant.
He helped you through your moments of insecurity and made you feel whole,like you were worth his love and like you were perfect the way you were.
In conclusion,being in love with percy Jackson means, unlimited support and love and a companion for life🫶

Part 21: all the ashes in my way
"But my peace has always depended on all the ashes in my way." -Arsonist's Lullabye by Hozier
Regent Masterlist Part 20 A03 Mundane Macabre (Main) TW: mention of infertility
September finally came to a close without much fanfare. The month had seen the very world rocked and many people were still left reeling from the implication that they had very nearly had a war with the Infinite Realms to contend with. Gothamites were eager to get October over with, thanks to the Rogues deciding Halloween was the perfect time to launch an assault against the city.
However, with the new found peace established between the aforementioned Realms and the mortal world, with the encouragement of the Phantom vigilante (a self-proclaimed ghost who haunts the Ridge), Gothamites cautiously prepared for Samhain celebrations instead.
It was a big deal to Phantom.
Outside of his vigilantism, Danny Nightingale was doing well in school, test scores and grades soaring through the roof. An almost visible weight had been lifted from his shoulders with the abolishment of the Anti-Ecto Acts. He even began to hang out with the youngest Wayne, Damian, outside of school to the surprise of many.
The Waynes and Nightingales were becoming closer by the day with Jasmine and Jason’s relationship status revealed and all the cards laid out on the table between all involved.
Jasmine and Dick Grayson bonded over their shared Eldest Daughter Syndrome, while Jazz and Steph bonded over villainous parents. Add Cass to the mix, the three women got along like a house on fire.
(The three enjoyed their girl time, bonding over clothes, movies and the occasional beat down.)
(The two loved to tease Jazz about Jason.)
With the two lovebirds (a Nightingale and a Robin), their relationship had changed dramatically…though only a few knew why.
There was something wrong with her body and for the life of her, Jazz could not figure out what it was.
She’d been nauseous lately, especially when she was a good distance from the ground. Typically, one might chalk it up to a fear of heights, but Jazz had never ever suffered from acrophobia. Perhaps the altitude adjustment? That didn’t make sense either because she’d been a vigilante for months and had no physical reactions to sudden elevation change. She’d even thrown up a couple times on patrol.
It also didn’t explain why her breasts were tender and aching. Her armor was lightweight enough that it wasn’t causing undue pressure, but the preternatural metal remained uncomfortable no matter what she tried.
And her head was killing her.
She’d refused to take patrol of regardless of her ailment, whatever it was. Her little brother could tell she wasn’t feeling well and had tried his best to get her to go home early even though Jazz refused.
Her gut instincts were trying to warn her, to be hyper vigilant in her defense of the Ridge. There was something coming and Jazz did not want to be caught unprepared.
However, it was during a semi-weekly girls night with Cass and Steph that Jazz’s life was sent careening off course into the wide blue yonder.
The three women were hanging out in Jazz’s new apartment, a cozy place with three bedrooms that she shared with Jason and Danny, and we’re settling in to watch a movie that’d just been released on dvd (Eat Pray Love). Steph had spared Jazz a confused look at her odd mixture of popcorn and ice cream, but didn’t say anything.
They’d barely started the movie, the warnings of anti-piracy ignored (gothamites) when Steph exclaimed, “oh!”
Cass was quick to pause the movie while Jazz choked on a mouthful of sweet and salty goodness.
(Sweet Cass merely patted her on the back.)
“You’re pregnant aren’t you?”
(Jazz had just gotten her airway cleared too.)
Naturally, they had to wait for Jazz to recover from her choking fit and inhale almost an entire bottle of water before she was deemed fit enough to answer Stephanie��s question.
“No, I’m not pregnant!” Jazz retorted, though the thought of-
baby?
-Kept ping-ponging around in her head like a cracked jar of marbles.
She couldn’t be pregnant.
“You and Jason have slept together right?” Steph questioned, a particular gleam in her eye that Cass copied almost immediately.
“Baby?” The ballerina added in her blunt way of speaking. There was almost a palpable sense of excitement in the air now.
And yes, Jazz and Jason did have sex, almost nightly if she was honest… but she couldn’t have children thanks to her ecto-contamination.
(That day had been one of the most heartbreaking times of her life, being told she had no chance of being a mother.)
(She had dreamed of a little boy and girl to raise, to love indefinitely.)
(She had told Jason and could see he was a bit heartbroken too.)
(Nonetheless, they had talked about adoption and fostering.)
(Already planning the life they wanted together.)
Jazz didn’t realize she was crying until Cass launched into her arms for a hug, spilling popcorn everywhere.
A/N: Here's the beginning of what I'm calling the "Angst arc". Its actually a pretty long chapter I had to split up. This will be combined with either parts 19 & 20 or 22 when its later posted. content warning because I know infertility can be triggering to people. Its part of the story for a reason, I promise.
The regent masterlist is updated with new parts and the unoffical playlist for the regent series.
Thanks for reading!
PS: Yes, black mask has no idea what he's in for.
PS 2: did you know Eat Pray Love came out August 13th, 2010? 2010 is when the social media AU is set for regent. Thought it would be cool to include a movie that would have just released around that time.

all fun and games
lee! Minho
ler! Jeongin
t/w: no warnings, just soft tickles and none else! if this is not your cup of tea, feel free to scroll!
The boys finally got to a long deserved rest after the ATE comebck. It just turned august, gosh how does time flies by so fast?
All the members were out with each other at different places:
-channie and seungmin at the burger place
-han and felix at the movies
-hyunjin and changbin going for a walk
"i.n~ahhhh, looks like you stuck with me baby bread!~" the older teased jeongin and ruffled his hair with excitement that he was gonna be spending time with the maknae.
"alright, alright! enough with the hahahair! i spent a long time styling it!" the fox tried to keep a serious expression but failed due to how he cannot resist the bunnies adorable energy.
The dancer and the vocalist grasped for their belongings and they both drove all the way to the fair. It was the perfect time for them both to come, they have worked so hard and they deserve something fun!
"were here innie, where do you wanna go first? a roller coaster? hook the duck? darts?" the older was fulfilled with such excitement and could not wait any longer. He wrapped his hand around the youngers wrist and dragged him to anyone he could get to.
"whohoa! slow down hyung! what about this game?" i.n turned to lee know, standing at the game was a southern man wearing a blue dungerees and a red shirt. "roll up! roll up! hang on the bar for 3 minute to win ₩8000!" ~ "how about you do this? you work out alot, so im pretty sure your strong. pleaseeeeee hyung!" innie whined and begged the older.
"alright in~ah! ill do it, sheesh!" Minho made his way to the bar and held on, the timer started and he was dangling there helplessly. The clock was ticking and the bunnys hands were clamped to the railing, he really was intrigued to win this. "this is so easy, i can win this easily!"
Baby bread had a sneaky idea, the sly fox trotted his way infront of the dancer and lightly stroked his neck and collarbones.
"i-innie, w-what are you dohohing?" the bunnies face turned a bright crimson red and pursed his lips to prevent laughter from coming out.
“Oh nothing much hyung, just helping you win” younger laughed at Lee know trying his best to maintain his giggles. Although that didn’t go to as planned when he gently stroked his sides up and down to make it more difficult for him.
“i swear to gohohohod! cut it ohohohout”~ the older sweetly laughed to his heart contented, he really wanted to win the prize money; so he continued battling. The maknae willingly walked his fingers down to Minho’s v-line which was enough nearly enough to make him give up.
“plehehease! nohohot fair! I cahahahant!”~
“You can’t what, baby?”
“I cahahahnt take it! Stohohohop”
1 minute was remaining on the clock, Lee know had made it this far, surely he can make it to the end, right? He carried on like a champ, that was until the sneakily little vocalist massaged at his underarms. “What about here, hyung?”
Minho started laughing as loud as a hyena. This spot was his worst so it was enough to make him go ballistic. “nono-NOHOHOHO-, I JUST WANT TOHOHO WIN!”
“What do you say then?” - “PLEHEHEHEASE STOHOHOHOP!” as innie followed his request, the timer beeped and the clock has finished.
“Here’s the ₩8000! Congratulations, no one really ever wins, especially the way you just did it. Well done champ!” Lee know ended up being embarrassed but he knew he couldn’t be mad at his baby. They made their way back to the car and back to the dorms to one of the rooms where seungmin were chilling.
“What was that for?”
“What was what for?” seungmin asked curiously with a confused puppy expression.
“innie tickled me whilst i hung from a bar FOR THREE WHOLE MINUTES!” Minho smirked and gave jeongin the eyes and he just giggled.
“Ha, snooze you loose bunny!” the younger chuckled teasing the older, which he did not like.
“Oh you’re in for it now, lil pup”~ the dancer leaped and tackled the singer to the floor and started his attack.
“wait.. I’m sorry! Plehehehase! Nonono-NOGOHOHO-“

What each marauder’s fav musical would be (in my opinion):
James - beetlejuice (chaotic af, funny and happy ending…)
Regulus - Jekyll and Hyde (thought provoking, sad ending also he’d find ‘bitch bitch bitch’ funny bc that’s lowkey exactly what the ppl at functions he has to attend are like. Also he loves ‘bring on the men’ and I won’t accept questions and if ur confused about the name, it’s exactly what it sounds like.)
Remus - Hamilton (he just…would love it.)
Sirius - Six (no question. And he would sing ‘Don’t lose ur head’ at the drop of a hat. He defo learnt the dance to ex-wives and six finale)
Peter - Dear Evan Hansen (he just gives me those vibes like he genuinely would love it and I love that 4 him)
Barty - Heathers (pretty sure this was in like one of my first posts too but he would LOVE heathers.)
Evan - Moulin Rouge! (OMG this one was actually hard icl I couldn’t think of one for ages but I actually think this is perfect for Evan. He definitely prefers like plainer style of stuff and shit and pretends not to like musicals but he goes excited like a puppy dog with proper heart eyes if you show him the absolutely over decorated stage they perform moulin rouge on. And you best believe he knows all the lyrics of ‘Firework’ by Katy Perry but no no my friend it’s not because he listens to her, in fact he’d probably be confused about the annoying pop song arrangement of ‘the song from moulin rouge’ also he loves the song mashup bit in ‘backstage romance’ that they dance to (if you don’t know what I mean then play this song but skip to 2:30 bc the start of the song won’t make sense without the entire plot detailed to you) because I say so because everyone does because it’s impossible not to.)
Mary - Anastasia (look I will not be accepting slander of this musical and neither would Mary. It is a masterpiece.)
Lily - Jesus Christ Superstar (fucking love this musical and only the best for Lily Evans. She would love it because I said so.)
Pandora - Hadestown (thought provoking, gorgeous music, based off a Greek myth. Just yes. Also I can picture her humming Orpheus’ tune but especially the extended bit in ‘wait for me’ )
Marlene - Les Misérables (ok so I know this might seem like an odd option for her but hear me out hear me out…Marlene attempting to perform all the parts in ‘one day more’ and blasting ‘Do you hear the people sing?’ from her phone as an attempt to scare people.)
Dorcas - Phantom of the Opera (the absolute dramatic theme is definitely her jam and she absolutely knows how to play it on every instrument. Like she doesn’t necessarily know how to play an instrument but you can bet she at least knows the phantom’s theme on it.)
my theatre kid side is rlly coming thru in this oops
also if anyone wants to know the specific albums (bc a lot of them have more than one recording) of the musical that I prefer and am thinking of as I write this then check below ‘keep reading’
beetlejuice/hamilton/anastasia all only have one - the original bway cast
Jekyll and Hyde - ‘Jekyll and Hyde: The Gothic Musical Thriller’ (the 1995 one with Anthony Warlow as J/H)
Six - ‘Six: the musical (studio cast recording)’ sorry to the Broadway cast lovers, I prefer the og Brit one bc it feels weird to hear them with American accents to me
Dear Evan Hansen - the original Broadway cast recording, not the movie one
Heathers - Original West end cast. Again sorry to all the ppl that prefer the off broadway one, west end heathers ver till I die, it’s just better like ‘never shut up again’? I say no? I’m sorry it’s just better, no matter how much u say ‘blue’ is better than ‘your welcome’
Moulin Rouge - original Broadway cast, as much as I love Nicole Kidman I just prefer the bway cast recording to the movie recs
Jesus Christ Superstar - ‘Jesus Christ Superstar (Remastered 2005)’ the one with the 1996 London cast, it’s just my favourite album of it because of the song arrangement
Hadestown - original Broadway cast recording (I feel like ppl don’t rlly listen to the concept album anymore bc it’s just so wildly different from how the actual show music ended up sounding, I do actually quite like it but the musical ver is better in my opinion)
Les Mis - holy shit there’s a lot of albums for this one, tbh I’m not thinking of a specific one but maybe the 2010 London recording - the live one(?) I just quite like it but tbh I listen to a diff album each time I swear 😭
Phantom of the Opera - the original 1986 London cast one bc I just prefer it to the movie

What did you think of perfect blue 👀
I had mixed feelings on it. Under a spoiler cut because it's a pointedly twisty movie and I'm gonna talk about the ending.
Though if you want the unspoilery verdict, I enjoyed watching it a lot but I thought the ending was a disappointment.
I enjoyed the vibes a lot, I thought the descent into confusing dreamlike surreality was effective, and I liked the animation style. It also gets a lot of kudos for being, as far as I've read, the first of its kind in Japanese media in terms of psychological surreal horror and inspiring a lot of iconic Hollywood movies as well. I was very engaged, especially when the surreal stuff started ramping up.
That said, the ending sucked lol. Instead of remaining ambiguous we get a concrete villain who, tbh, I should've predicted because the movie had a very ugly=evil thing going on and she was the only "good" character who also had wide-set eyes and wasn't good looking lol. It felt very misogynist too, unfortunately. The rest of the movie had the 'edgy somewhat exploitative commentary on misogyny' vibe but with the villain being a washed up former idol driven crazy by jealousy, with a lot of visual focus on her overweight body when she goes full villain, it felt more nastily sexist to me, and was uncomfortable to watch.
Also despite pinning everything on a tangible villain, the plot doesn't actually make sense. Like eg there's no reason for the protag's confusion about dream vs reality, and she emerges seemingly perfectly sane at the end. This wouldn't be an issue if the movie stayed ambiguous imo, the surreality would work on a metaphorical level. But by having a real villain who orchestrated everything, I don't feel that metaphorical understanding is maintained, so it ends up feeling like plotholes for the sake of vibe.
That's just how I felt lol, it's still a very beloved and influential movie so maybe the tone of the ending works better for others. But yeah, basically I enjoyed it until the last 15 minutes or so.
#text post#thanks for asking!#have you seen it? if not i'd mostly recommend it as an iconic and influential pretty solid movie despite my misgivings about the ending

Something Metal 🥁
Kevin Schlieb x fem!reader
Movie: Metal lords
Part 10
Smut
Blue italic= there thoughts
Green italic= Kevin narrating
Scene skip ⏭️
Kevin’s POV
I wait outside of Y/n’s class waiting for the bell to ring and I send her a text “Waiting 4 u outside speech ❤️❤️❤️” but I don’t get a text back
Once the bell rings the door open and student pile out and a girl walks up to me “Your friends a massive dick” I stare at her confused and asked her to explain.
Once the girl in Y/n’s class explained what happened in her class, I was on a mission to find Hunter.
Once I see Hunter walking the halls I run up to him and grab him by the shirt and push him into the lockers “What the fuck?” He yelled and as soon as I’m going to say something I can hear the other students crowd around us
“The fuck you doing?” He pushed me off
It’s time to speak truth to power
“You are afraid of everybody, and instead of showing it like I do, you treat everybody like shit and you make them hate you. Great. They leave you alone, they leave me alone. Both of us are alone. Mission accomplished.”
“No, no, no--” he tries to speak
“No, shut up. You need me a lot more than I need you. Without me, all of your dumb fantasies disappear. But without you, I might actually live a real life, with a girl I actually care about. And you know what she’s the best thing that’s happened in a while. So fuck your dumb fantasy”
“You…You can’t. You can’t, We’re Skullfucker.” He brings the band sign up to his chest and I just flip him off walking away
He follows me “Fine. Fine. Go enjoy fucking your wacko girlfriend (ik he doesn’t say that but it sounds better) and your new-- and your new shitty band and-- And Rock of Ages!” He yelled down the hallway as I walk out of the school towards my car and texting Y/n I’m coming over
Scene skip ⏭️
Y/n’s POV
After being sent home I had some time to think to myself and Kevin text me saying he was in his way over
Once he’s here I sit on my bed as he paces back-and-forth “It’s my fault.” I mumbled with my head hung low, playing with my fingers
“It’s Hunter’s fault. He’s a massive dick.” He said with a irked tone
“But I never would’ve lost it like that if I hadn’t stopped taking my meds” I stated with a slight wobble in my voice
“It was not your fault! Wh--” he yelled and he saw the tears in my eyes and my lip wobbling “There’s something wrong with me”
I sniffled knowing it really was my fault
“No, don’t…” he walked closer to my bed and sat down, but the last thing I really wanted to do was cry in front of Kevin but I couldn’t stop “I’m not mad. You didn’t do anything wrong. There’s nothing wrong with you.” He rubbed my back in a comforting manner
“Yeah, there is. The concentration of serotonin in my synapses is too low.” I uttered
“Okay, but there’s something more wrong with everyone else. You have a right to be mad, especially at Hunter.”
“Why am I like this?” I stated feeling out of breath, I feel like my head is going to explode
“Everybody else didn’t make me like this. Hunter didn’t make me like this. My parents love me. I think. And they try as hard as they can. But I feel like I’m failing them. But it’s not their fault.” I explained
“You’re not anybody’s fault.” He said and I huff
“You’re not…a fault” he sighed, he put his hand on my cheek and I looked at him “There might be something… wrong with you, but… you’re perfect… you’re my girlfriend”
I look up at him and with his hand still on my cheek we both lean in, and we kiss, it was a amazing kiss his soft lips made all my troubles go away, I grab onto his wrist never wanting the kiss to end
His hand travelled down to the hem of my shirt and it went under and rested on the warm flesh of my hip, he pulled away “Are you okay with this?” I nodded
I pull the shirt off of me and through it on the floor, and he takes off his jacket, he kissed down my neck and I sigh and lay down on the bed he kissed back up to my lips and I rest my hands in his hair feeling it between my fingers
He kissed back down my neck and to my chest and down to my navel and stops at my pants line, I lean up and unbutton my jeans and through them on the floor towards my shirt
I lean back down and part my legs so Kevin can rest between them, I try and reach down to take off his shirt but he stops me “No… it’s just about you right now, you need this” I nod slowly
He kisses my thighs and I sigh with pleasure, he pulls off my underwear. I shut my legs trying to relieve some on the pressure I was feeling but Kevin pulls them back apart
“No, no, no. Don’t do that, my beautiful girl…my perfect girl” he said getting closer and closer to where I needed him the most
Once he was there I let out small sighs and moans, it was the best feeling I could ever feeling in the world, once his thumb touched the little bundle of nerves between my legs and felt like I was in heaven
My hands reached down between my legs and play with his hair it’s the only thing that could stable me from the amount of pleasure I was feeling right now
The heels of my feet rest on his back, and as he hits a particular spot and I pull at his hair and he groans, the vibration was just what I needed to send me over the edge, I moan loudly
Thank god nobody’s home 
“Oh my god, Kevin, yes Yes!, right there!” I moaned and arched my back as my legs tightened around his head “Oh fuck, thank you, thank you!” I moaned once more as I came and everything washed over me and the stress of today floated away
My back rested against the bed and Kevin pulls away with a sigh kissing up my navel to my chest and finally to my lips and I lock my legs around his waist never wanting to let go
But I finally realized I needed to let him go so he can get up, once he’s up he gets me a new pair of underwear and a towel to clean myself up with
Once I’ve cleaned up and took my bra off and put my shirt and underwear back on, Kevin slides off his jean so he just in his boxers and t-shirt and we climb into bed together
I rest my head on his chest and he has his arm around me, I listen to the steady sound of his heart beat and I slowly fall asleep
Part 11 🥁

What I Watched This Week – 6/2 – 6/15
Sukisho! – June being Pride Month, I drew up a plan to only watch BL and yuri anime this month, where each week I’d watch one BL/yuri that’s new to me, rewatch one I’ve seen before, and watch or rewatch a movie or OVA if time allows. I’ve seen the majority of BL anime that’s out there, so finding one I hadn’t seen was a bit of a challenge, until I saw this 2005 visual novel adaptation streaming on Tubi.
To say it’s a wild ride is a bit of an understatement. Not only are our two leads roommates at an all-boys school, one of them has amnesia after falling out of a fourth floor window. On top of that, the two boys also have split personalities, where their second personalities are in love with each other and their primary personalities are always fighting. In between running wacky errands and getting into ridiculous situations with their school club, they also investigate their mysterious past, get abducted, fight a mad scientist, and plot an elaborate revenge. As a little bonus, the main boy’s edgelord second personality is voiced by Koyasu, which is just genius. The visuals are extremely dated, with pointy chins and brightly colored hair in impractical styles, but the voice cast is surprisingly great, the characters have good chemistry, and the nonsense is a lot of fun if you don’t think about it too hard. It’s a nice little romp I had a great time watching. 7/10
Sweet Blue Flowers – I watched this series early in my anime-watching monomania, and it was interesting to revisit it years later after seeing other yuri series and reading other manga by Takako Shimura. Now that I’ve been around a bit, I see how it’s descended from class S yuri classics that came before it, and how it puts its own spin on the genre. Set at a pair of girls’ schools, the story follows two childhood friends who are reunited for the first time since elementary school when one moves back into town at the start of high school. Each meets a group of friends at their respective school that becomes entangled with the other girl’s school, and relationships form and break apart as the two reestablish their friendship. Nobody can get out of their own way, everyone’s constantly getting their feelings hurt, but it’s all written so that it feels grounded and relatable rather than melodramatic and frustrating. It’s also a rather pretty anime, with a subdued color palette, charming character designs, and lots of dappled sunlight on the characters and the backgrounds. I really appreciated the complicated, messy relationships in this, and ended up giving a higher score this time around. 8/10
Doukyuusei – Being under an hour, this is a somewhat frequent rewatch for me, as it’s a nice quick shot of romance that’s easy to squeeze into an evening when I need a dose of young love to cheer me up. On paper, the plot sounds a little rote: two boys attending an all-boys school couldn’t look or be more different – one’s the flashy guitarist of a local band, the other is studious and reserved – but grow close after practicing a song together for a school event, and fall in love. A combination of distinctive, expressive art and strong writing takes this from being a pleasant but forgettable genre story to being a memorable snapshot of the messy, confusing, and exciting experience of falling in love for the first time. The animation is pretty economical, especially for a movie, but the watercolor-like art does an excellent job of getting the hazy feeling of high school and teenage life, where you’re not really a child, but not quite an adult, and you’re expected to make decisions about the rest of your life despite nothing really feeling solid to you yet. 8/10
Maria Watches Over Us S1 – I’ve been meaning to watch this class S yuri classic for a long time now, and Pride month seems like the perfect time to get to it. The story is centered on a nondescript girl who has just started her first year of high school at the prestigious Lillian Girls’ Academy. She finds herself tangled up with one of the most popular girls at the school who ends up taking her under her wing as her “soeur”, a tradition where older girls choose a younger girl as a sisterly mentee. I thought I was getting into something like Dear Brother, and would be up to my eyeballs in catty maneuvering and backstabbing drama, but it’s actually pretty laid back. There’s a bit of drama, but it’s fairly subdued and rooted in the girls’ earnest efforts to understand one another. Coupled with that good, old-fashioned 2000s sepia-tone filter on the visuals, this was a cozy little series. I plan to watch the rest of the series, but I’m not sure if I want to marathon it all or spread it out for when I want an episode or three of chill schoolgirl drama. 7/10
Sasaki and Miyano – Rounding off my Pride month menu of stories of love at single-sex high schools is another favorite series I rewatch often. In this one, our main character is an avid reader of BL manga and novels who finds himself in a bit of a pinch when an upperclassman takes an interest in him, leaving him full of questions about the line between fiction and reality and what he wants for himself. As a romance fan, this series gives me pretty much everything I want. There’s lots of blushing, tons of yearning, plenty of overthinking feelings, a nice group of friends who can see right through them, and some exquisite physical affection scenes. All the sparkles and flowers floating around the characters during romantic moments capture the shoujo manga vibe perfectly, delivering the warm fuzzies. I still think some of the stuff with Hanzawa felt like wasted space, the flashbacks in the first episode were a little confusing, and the animation never really rises above workmanlike, but it’s nearly everything I could want in a BL anime. Just cute as hell, with an excellent kiss scene. 9/10

"Nights To Remember Ch. 3: Bright Lights, Big City, Dark Sylph, Dark Lord~..."
~
~
Bright lights, big city. Taillights & headlights. Children of the sun. Suntanned skin & brown bottled beer. And a curvy, dusky skinned sylph a bit too dressy for such casual surroundings heading into the blues pumping nightclub. Cutting a swath through the milling crowd. Bathed in a pinkish glow from the neon curved lights announcing to the world the humble haven at which they, along with Robert & co had found themselves: The Chuco.
A reference to the Pachucos, zoot suiters that a lot of its denizens were birthed to or had otherwise in their family.
The first teddy boys in a way, Robert thought, right down to the flashy clothes & slicked back hair. Some of the kids still sported that "greaser" aka teddy boy look. Though Robert knew well enough to steer away from the former term & used the latter. He recognized the look anyway. Right down to the cuffed jeans & white t-shirts with the rolled up sleeves that had the cigarette packets & matchbook tucked inside.
He had attempted such a look in his youth. In those heady early days. When rock'n'roll first shook him, and blues first seduced him away. Astray.
Astray.
Astray is apparently how he continued to stay. How else would he find himself here? At a small nightclub away from the rest. Away from all others. But Magnet.
And her.
Magnet he saw chatting up a pretty, petite young thing against a nearby wall.
That just left him. And her. And about a few tens of other kids around them. But in his mind they all but disappeared. All blurring into a Renoir like smudgy frame for his gaze. Myopic as ever. Single-minded. Laser focused. His view. His vision. The vision.
Her.
Her.
Her.
She was bathed in light. A pink light. Blushing violet pink. The shade was a near perfect match to the signage outside. It lit her & everyone else in the room. Making them look like the denizens of one of those pulpy romance comics. All dark features & strawberry light. All dark features except for him. Which, despite his better nature, only served to have him further feel like the protagonist in one of those pulpy romances.
All dark features. And strawberry light. All he saw then was dark features & a figure lit by strawberry light. From the club's tinted lighting, yes. From the rose colored glasses Robert always seemed to sport- especially regarding her - also yes. But also from within.
She lit up.
She came alive here.
She was incandescent.
Her eyes sparkled. Glittered. Shone really. Her mask of previously remote features now fully removed if not shattered. Now her lips curved in the proudest gleaming grin.
She raised her arms in exultation, releasing a cry of exultation from deep within. One which ended up being a cry of call and response. As many around her responded with a similar cry in return.
Thankfully she was far enough ahead - while of course still remaining well in Robert's sight - that no one around them let out any other screams at Robert's striding his 6 foot, blonde, white, English country boy self inside.
Indeed he saw some glimmers of recognition, disbelief, then outright confusion. He could read their features like a book. A silent movie at play before him.
Is it him?
It is!
Why the fuck would he be here?
There's no way!
Little did they know.
There was a way.
One way.
Her.
Her.
Her.
Robert took a beer Magnet gave him in passing. He then noted with his first sip, that Magnet as he passed, was currently flitting on his way to another girl still with the first in tow. Three's company. His kinda company clearly. Clearly hopeful that a threesome was on the way.
Classic Magnet.
Upon taking this beer, Robert raised it to those eyes of recognition. A toast. In return, he pressed a finger to his lips & gave a conspiratorial smile. Thankfully, miraculously, this seemed to be enough to quell any tongues that might've been set a-wag by his arrival. Smiles were returned. Nods & cheers with their drinks in return. A few blown kisses by some young lovelies.
And it was then that even though Robert found his "cover blown," so to speak, he found himself in the clear.
With his way now clear, Robert made his way to Dahlia. She had hugged a few old friends in warm, enthusiastic greeting, chattering animatedly in a quick catch-up. Catching them as she was arriving & they were leaving. After waving goodbye, she then strolled over to the bar, picking up a beer & taking a swig herself as her bent elbow rested on the bartop she leaned back into.
As Robert approached, the soundtrack of sorts, incidental music, continued to tease him in a way that seemed anything but incidental, accidental, or by happenstance. This time, it was Junior Walker & his All Stars.
"What does it take…
(What does it take)...
To win your love for me?...
(To win your love for me)...
How can I make…
(How can I make)...
This dream come true for me…"
He reached out in what seemed like slow motion. Reaching for the vision in raspberry light. Strawberry light. A brilliant smile that seared itself into his mind at first glance. A lyrical laugh that rang out above the clinking beer bottles & trickled over him like the lightest, sweetest waterfall. And silken, tawny skin that burned him alive simultaneously as his fingers slid across her velvet soft hand. The one without the ring.
Her eyes cut over to him. Her gaze at first flickered in confusion before alighting in recognition, smile back to full strength. She mimicked the song then playing in her greeting.
"Hello, stranger." She then added yet another one of her light, playful teases. "Long time no see." Clinking bottles with him, she continued. "I was wondering when you were gonna amble your way in."
"Ah…"
For once in his life, Robert struggled for a snappy line.
So he scrambled for the closest thing.
A grin curved his lips, easier than he felt inside. "Well I can't very well leave you to the wolves now can I?" His delivery wasn't as smooth as he'd have liked, alas. His voice shook slightly. Hopefully she just took that for barely checked laughter.
As it turned out, she took it in stride. It barely checked. It barely registered.
"Wolves?" Dahlia tossed her head back in a laugh of her own. "What wolves?" Motioning to all that was around them, she stated proudly. "This? This is family! We're among family here, Planty! Don't you see? Can't you tell? We're home!"
Home.
Home indeed.
For her.
Dahlia, the girl from East LA. Hometown girl. Local girl made good. Just as her historian father Alberto Dominguez-Alvarez was a local man made good. His books and scholarly lectures and presentations were full of their glory days, both past & present.
Children of the sun.
Chucos.
Chicanos.
He'd caught one of those presentations & lectures in Birmingham in his Pre-Zeppelin days. That's where he got Alberto's books. That's where he got a primer on Mexican culture. Pre-Columbian & current. On Mexican youth. Past & present. On her.
Her father had used her pictures as an example - if a rather self-indulgent one - of modern Mexicanidad. Mentioning her then current early enrollment in UCLA.
There was a collage of pictures of her with her acceptance letter. In a brown beret uniform in East LA where they hailed from. In her Quince dress from the society page. In a button down & jeans in the slightly more upmarket part of LA the family had then moved to. In a classic, demure dress in Mexico. Using her as an example of possibility, of accomplishment, of their multifacetedness. All in one.
Later, he admitted when questioned that yes, she had been in the Sunset Strip curfew protests that some had termed riots. But he stressed that they were protests. And social engagement, community engagement was not a crime and should not be considered a crime due to a difference in melanin between the protestors themselves or between them & those they were protesting against. A knowing reference to the Civil Rights Movement.
Neither Alberto nor Robert had no idea how prescient those words were. He would later. Later. Later when Dahlia showed pictures of both herself & her father in the East LA walkouts, backing up people back home. Backing up friends. Backing up family.
And again at the Chicano Moratorium.
One of the few Zeppelin gigs she had missed she missed on purpose, flying into LA to take part while they did a gig. She headed back to East LA where her family had moved back to by then. Ready to support. To protest. To be heard. The pics she later showed them showed them looking hopeful. Proud. Expectant.
That was before, due to unforseen circumstances, things went left that day. Dark. Deadly. Black.
As soon as he heard, Pagey was on the phone. Peter too. As soon as he heard from Dahlia herself - thankfully safe at home & able to take the call - that she & her family were fine, Pagey had her fly back out to meet them on their next stop on the next available flight. Pagey had her in his arms. Locked in his room with him. Grant assigned them - her really - a bodyguard, under his, Jimmy's & honestly everyone's agreement.
Saying another silent prayer for Ruben Salazar, the one casualty that day, and any others affected, Robert decided to shake the darkness from his mind.
He allowed himself to be pulled back into the light.
Pink light.
Raspberry light.
Strawberry light.
Warm light.
Her light.
He saw his teen self in his mind's eye as he was then at the presentation. Gawking at the pictures. She was bleeding beautiful. Two years younger than him. Where did they make birds like that? Brains and beauty. Dusky skinned determination. Heaven-sent & hip as hell. LA? East LA? Right then and there, he pledged that if he ever made it to the States, he had to go there, wherever that was. Los Angeles, he knew. How far east he'd have to go, he didn't.
What he also didn't know at that time - not until much later - was just how close just such a girl was to him then. Not just such a girl. That girl exactly. For the time was spring 1967, and not only was Alberto in England.
But so was Dahlia.
Alberto, of course, was lecturing Robert & others in the north in Birmingham.
Meanwhile, Dahlia at the time - as he would later find out - was staying southward in London.
She had left the hotel room her father had gotten her, leaving her to study for a paper she was going to do on English History as he traveled about. The hotel room then stood mostly empty. Instead, she saw fit to stay with another attendee of one of her father's lectures that he'd given in London before coming up north.
A friend.
A penpal.
An on again off again budding potential love & beau.
On Shooter's Hill.
In Pangbourne.
With one who would later - now - be his songwriting partner & close friend.
Yes.
With one James Patrick Page.
There she was holeing up with him. Hitting up his local haunts with him. Scotch of St. James in between her studies. Granny Takes a Trip between corrections of one draft's grammar most likely. Giving herself to him for the first time. First of many. First of many on that trip he figured as well. Knowing Pagey. In the car if he had one. In the boat. In the boathouse. Every bleeding where in the boathouse. Again knowing Pagey, Robert figured there was hardly a surface in the place, down to the couch he sat on that first day when he came down, that hadn't been so christened that time in '67.
Granny's, the Scotch, in bed (and other places) with a dusky, driven & foreign little brunette dish. All the places Robert could then only dream of being.
Now he had his dusky brunette by way of Maureen. But she was back home with the kids. And he'd had others since then. Plenty others. Many others. He even had several around him that day.
All his focus went to only one though.
One that was off limits.
Very decidedly off limits.
The one that was closest to him funny enough.
Or as Brenton Wood sang then.
"I run after you...
Like a fool would do...
But mama didn't raise no fool...
And I should know...
That baby you got it...
That's all I can say to you..."
Brenton even seemed to see in her what he did.
"You got soul, too much soul...
Foxy clothes, the cutest nose...
The greatest shape...
There's nothing fake about you...
Baby you got it..."
But when Brenton continued, Robert felt it once again hit too close for his liking.
"My friends say no can be...
You're not the girl for me..."
Bullseye!
Try as he might to distract himself with another sip of his beer, the next song was no better.
"Just pull them little strings...
And I'll sing you a song...
I'm your puppet...
Make me do right or make me do wrong...
I'm your puppet...
Treat me good and I'll do anything...
I'm just a puppet and you hold my string...
I'm your puppet...
Your walking, talking, kissing loving puppet...
I'm hanging on a string...
I'll do anything, love you 'n' kiss ya..."
"Here…" Dahlia snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked down. A peace offering. Another bottle of beer to replace his now drained one.
Another clink.
"Cheers." She locked eyes with him, pursed lips grinning behind her bottle.
"Why won't you...
Take a chance on me...
And let me show you...
How wonderful to love can really be...
I can love you for all eternity...
Take a chance on me..."
God damn it if it wasn't Brenton Wood again summing it all up again.
"Dahlia…" He breathed her name in more of a sigh than he wanted to allow at that point. Her name always sounded like a sigh. Always. From day one. From the first day he heard it. A sigh. A dreamy sigh. To him. From others. And most importantly from him.
"What is it, Robert?" She slid her hand over his, giving a gentle squeeze again like she had in the car. "You feeling alright?"
That voice.
That hand.
That silken skin.
That touch.
That tenderness.
A tenderness that was always so apparent in her.
A gentility amidst her all-encompassing warmth that ranged from the flickering of a flame, dancing & playful like the mirthful light that shone in her eyes to molten, incandescent, torrid & sizzling. It scorched him. Seared him. Searing him deep within. Burned him. Burned within him. Burned him inside out. Made him feel feverish.
And again, the song playing around them said it all.
"The touch of you (baby, baby, the touches from you)...
Is drivin' me out of my head, oh, boy (baby, baby, out of my head)...
What a touch from a little hand can do (can do)...
Especially coming from you…
Turn my life all around (all around)...
I can't seem to settle down…
Oh, baby…"
"Dahlia, I…" He started before he even knew what he was going to say.
Thankfully…
Mercifully…
He was cut off before he could figure out much more to say.
Both by a random lad in an awed hush. "Holy fuck! Now there's two of them, dude! Am I seeing things?"
But no…
He wasn't…
The lad wasn't seeing things…
Because there he stood in the doorway. All six feet of PreRaphaelitic glamour. A brooding Black Irish English stallion. The dragon. The "Dark Lord" himself.
Or as Dahlia gasped, trotting over to him excitedly.
"Baby!"
James Patrick Page.
Count on him to make his entrance to a song with a twangy guitar intro.
Of course he would.
Jimmy extended his arms, welcoming Dahlia in his embrace with a smile. He hugged her tight. Warmly. Protectively. He mumbled something to her to which Dahlia nodded. Pressing a kiss to her hair, her forehead & lifting her chin, then her lips, he claimed her. Sealing it with a kiss. Or three.
And as ever, Robert was left with the unintentional soundtrack summing it up for him.
"Love...
Love is strange...
Lot of people...
Take it for a game..."
~
Hope y'all enjoy~!...
As ever, this is forever under construction~...

I forget if you're still open for ideas about this, but you're doing rosaries for each of the Pevensie kids, right? If so (and if you can, I don't know what resources you have lol 😅) your color schemes might royal colors, like royal red, royal blue, royal purple, royal green, etc., each with a gold or silver accent color (like matching their crowns in the movie, Peter and Susan have gold, Edmund and Lucy have silver. Or tbh you could accent their colors with just gold to symbolize their shared royalty and that they're all siblings). Or something like that, this message was a lot shorter in my head 😅
Dude you're actually really close to what I was already thinking of!
I originally wanted to go with the colors of their coronation outfits at the end of the first movie, but they all were mostly blue and I want my rosaries to be distinctly different so I was trying to think of colors that kind of represented them as entire characters instead of just a single scene and this is what I have
Peter: red hail beads with gold crown decades (I found the cutest crown beads on Amazon!!)
Edmund: I can't decide if I wanna do dark green or dark blue hail beads but either of those with silver crown decades
Susan: if I don't do dark blue for Ed I'd probably use it for Susan, or I was thinking maybe a light blue or lavender or even a plum purple for the hail beads with gold crown decades (I can't remember now if Susan wore a lavender dress in the movies or if I'm confusing her for Anna Popplewell's character in Reign but I think she looks very nice in purple)
Lucy: I think I like either a burnt orange or an autumny yellow for the hail beads with silver crown decades
And and!!!! I found gold lion head beads that I wanna use for Aslan's rosary!!! I also have an idea for a Cair Paravel rosary but I'm not sure if Hobby Lobby will have the exact beads I want (this is the only one where I'm like "it has to be PERFECT it has to be EXACT if I can't get what I want I just won't make it!" and idk why lol). I also have an idea for Caspian's but it's written down on a paper downstairs and I don't wanna go get it because spooky but if I remember correctly he's getting a...silver crown? Idk idk to be figured out or remembered later
I think I'm getting way too invested in this because I've been thinking a lot about the possibilities especially a kind of matchies similar set of rosaries that are based off their coronation outfits (having them all be blue but with the different accent colors like they do in the movie, Ed's being silver, Peter's yellow, Susan's dark blue, and Lucy's orange) and like idk man I wanna do this it makes me happy but what am I going to do with all these rosaries I already have a collection of them I don't need more 😭😂 I'm kiiiindaaaa maaaayyybbbeee considering trying to sell them on Etsy but idk it's a lot to think about and honestly I just wanna make them because I have a vision and for some reason the work relaxes me which is weird because it's the exact thing that I think would do the complete opposite but making them just feels right it feels like when I write like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing if that makes sense. Kinda dramatic though lol
Anyway sorry to ramble I'm just super excited about it!!!! The all royal color idea is giving me so many mental images and I might have to do more Pevensie sets than I originally thought I would! I'm gonna have more than a dozen rosaries made before I even move onto other fandoms!!!

Next up, one of the most iconic decades....
The time has now come for the 1950s, a decade that I’m sure we are all more familiar with. Poodle skirts, Grease, Marilyn Monroe, all of that good stuff. I know when I think of this decade grease (the movie not oil) is especially what comes to mind, but that might just be me. I remember watching that movie for the first time in my childhood best friend’s basement and being so confused (I was 8 or 9 so cut me some slack here) but still interested. Olivia Newton-John’s character Sandy had this black outfit that I will always associate with the 50s. I don't think I knew much else at the time, besides the classic blond bombshell trope that the time period is known for so for me this was a whole new world. Quite obviously, since then I’ve definitely learned a lot more about fashion and it’s evolution through the decades (I wouldn’t be doing this blog otherwise). Let’s get into it then …
Now, I can't talk about the 1950s without dedicating a good chunk of this post to icons that changed the fashion game. So, first is our blonde bombshell of the 50s. I couldn't do this without bringing up Marilyn Monroe could I? One thing she really popularized was blue jeans (so did other people, like Elvis) which she wore in one of her movies. Now, we obviously all wear jeans all the time, especially Levi 501s. Fun Fact, these are my go-to jeans, just like many people for the past 150 years. Not only did she popularize them but she also showed a different side to jeans, one that balanced glamour and femininity with comfort and practicality. Marilyn is the idea of femininity for a lot of people and I think that this definitely shines in her jean outfits. I think this is something she does really well. Jeans are versatile and can go either way depending on how you style them (which is quite different from fashion before). I do have to say I do love Marilyn Monroe so I might be biased here. I’ve had a massive poster in my room for years (right next to a Kate Bush poster and a Bangles poster). Now, Marilyn is known as being a sex icon and her glamour. The blonde hair, the red lips, the dark eye makeup and the accentuated figure. This is a key part of 1950s fashion, but it's not the only side.
Now, Marilyn is known as being a sex icon and her glamour. The blonde hair, the red lips, the dark eye makeup and the accentuated figure. This is a key part of 1950s fashion, but it's not the only side. Audrey Hepburn is the perfect example (not saying that either is better, but the different aspects of the decade, love them both equally). Her style is a more subtle femininity, one with more elegance. Accordingly, she popularized ballet flats, big sunglasses and capri pants. Personally, I'm really not a big capri pants fan, especially myself, but I think she manages to make them look good. I always feel like they just look awkward and weird. Like why? What’s the point of the length? They’re not short enough to be shorts, but not long enough to be pants. I want to know who got up one morning and said “You know what we need? Pants in that awkward in-between length? That’s what’s missing from my life” Why? It also always makes me think of being a kid and wearing those plaid capris that were popular in the 2000s-2010s and are horribly ugly (if you know what I'm talking about then you’ll get what I mean, if you don't, consider yourself lucky). On the left picture below is Audrey wearing capris for her movie Sabrina (great movie by the way, 10/10 would recommend if you haven’t watched). For some reason I think they look good in this outfit, it's simple but cute nonetheless, and the capris somehow aren't evoking a visceral reaction so I consider that more impressive than anything.
She is also wearing ballet flats in this image, which I will always consider to be timeless and cute. A classic black flat is something that you can never go wrong with. They add just the right amount of elegance to any outfit (like the capris in this outfit) which again is something the 50s really gets right, the art of elegance and femininity.
On the right is an image from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (one of my all-time favourite movies, I’ve watched it a dozen times since I was 10). As you can see she is rocking the chunky sunglasses, which I can absolutely get behind, unlike the capris. I love chunky sunglasses, and they are absolutely a must-have for me in the warmer months. I think some people look better with smaller sunglasses and can absolutely rock them, but I am not one of those people. I wear big sunglasses for the same reason I wear big earrings, it's necessary when you have curly hair (and a lot of it). Smaller pieces just get lost and it becomes pointless. I guess I just have to thank Audrey Hepburn for being able to wear big sunglasses.
That brings us to the end of this segment. From Marilyn Monroe’s sensuality to Audrey Hepburn’s elegance, the 50s fashion trends continue to remain timeless.
Next up, I’ll be talking about my favourite decade so stay tuned !! See you next week xx.

i feel like you’d be really good friends with susan so i can imagine you standing with the pevensies on the platform waiting to get to school.
and then like the weird freezing thing happens and you’re super confused but susan grabs your hand and like you end up on a sandy beach with them and you’re so confused???
they explain narnia to you and all you can wonder is why am i here???
obviously like skip forward to them meeting caspian.
caspian and peter are fighting and you run to see what’s happening and when caspian sees you he’s so shocked that he literally drops the sword….
because he knows in that moment that you’re who he wants to make his queen.
what neither of you know is that that’s exactly what the prophecy states. that you’re destined for each other.
he asks you your name and you obviously say sarah. when you do he mutters under his breath “queen sarah”
you hear and blush softly.
you wont mind being his queen that’s for sure.
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 <𝟑
ok because you too are such a power couple.
like obviously he courted you and all of that but courtship doesn’t last very long so i’m just gonna refer to you as his wife because we all know that that’s what happened.
first of all he’s so in awe of you, all of the time, he never stops being in awe of you.
like you literally be like what are you looking at and he’ll just say “you”
the pair of you are always exchanging love letters, he writes the most gorgeous poetic things in the world.
and he showers you with gifts, especially crystal tiaras because he knows how much you love crystals.

Perfect Blue
I can see why this movie was banned at one point. I don’t fully understand this movie but despite that it still made me feel things I’ve never felt before when watching a movie. I’ve seen murder scenes and things like that in movies and shows but, wow that rape scene just felt so real. The screams, the camera shots, it just felt too real. It’s every girl's worst nightmare, and it just felt too real for me. The naked photo scene also had a similar effect on me. Although she had a smile on her face as the viewer you know she’s just doing it to fulfill other's wishes, and in that sense, it felt like the rape scene. Overall the whole movie just makes me sad. She’s never really treated as a person, more so a commodity to make money off of, but at the same time Mima never truly says what she feels. But of course, I understand why. She’s been pushed to believe acting will lead to greater success, and her success ultimately makes those around her happy. Another interesting thing was the depiction of stalkers. They ultimately never really cared about Mima as a person, just her persona. They like to think of themselves as different from the people taking advantage of her or her other fans that objectify her but ultimately they’re exactly the same. I’d like to think that things have improved but I’m honestly not sure. Although I believe stalkers are now taken more seriously, we still see examples of the idol world being toxic and horrible. Something that recently happened that reminds me of this is how someone made AI porn of Taylor Swift. Just like Mima, in that instance she lost control of her image, and like her was taken advantage of. Overall this film was incredibly frustrating, confusing, and scary. I don’t fully understand what happened, especially when it comes to the murders and the ending, but I’m not sure if I want to rewatch it to figure it out either.

Why are all the comments for satoshi kon movies on (illegal) streaming sites so ignorant like how much does it take one person to understand that his movies are confusing on purpose
#Like I knowwwwwwwww#I knowwwww I complain about stuff too but at least admit that it just isn't for you PLEASE#Satoshi kon#Perfect blue#Like especially perfect blue is the movie that confuses you to make you feel what mima feels#Paprika blurres the lines between dream and reality which starts affecting us the same way it affects the protagonist#And millennium actress shows you that her memory is unreliable/the fan has his own created image of her

A prompt by @theneurodivergentdummy
Bro this is like a NIGHTMARE for me but this is perfect for humor omfg-
(Uuuuuuugh I hate spiders. But let’s get it)
Any Papyrus/Sans waking up to Reader who’s asleep with a whole spider in their mouth
Sans:
* He was already sleeping and you decided to join him. You loved cuddling with your bone-friend.
* Time passes and he wakes up from his 14 hour nap to see you all stretched out on the bed next to him, making him chuckle. You sleep crazy and it’s a funny sight
* But….what the heck was that black thing moving near your mouth?
* A whole ass spider was in your mouth and you hadn’t reacted. Jeez he knew you were a heavy sleeper but damn not even that wakes you up?
* He doesn’t freak out but simply uses his magic to fling it away. He won’t tell you directly but will make puns when you get up
XPapyrus:
* He’s always training so cuddling is pretty rare. But if he is free you enjoy every second of it. He is SO cuddly!!! And he deserves those cuddles….he is exhausted after all.
* And he wakes up only cause he had a bad dream….and punches to the side.
* It didn’t hit you but that spider? Got one hit K’Oed-
* You woke up cause you felt the AIR from that punch. So you turn to him confused. And his response is actually pretty sweet
* “I dreamt that a evil person was trying to hurt you! I wanted to protect you!”
* Guess you’re knight in shining armor can protect you even in his sleep! How oddly endearing!
Dream:
* He’s usually very busy as he’s usually doing his job as the guardian of positivity. But once he’s gotten free time, he’s rushing to be by your side.
* You guys were having a date at home to make up for lost time but he did fall asleep first. You smile knowing how tired he was but he wanted to stay up for you!
* You end up passing out with him on the couch.
* He woke up realizing he fell asleep and he felt bad. So he turned to you….only to see a spider staring back. His first thought? What the fuck-???
* He didn’t panic really. He actually managed to remove the spider and let it go outside. But he also checked if you were ok. Like wow were you that tired to not feel all that?
* Once he knows for sure you’re ok, he’ll take you to bed and you guys will continue sleeping.
Boss:
* He denies that he likes cuddles but once you ask him, he’s already in his pj’s. (Mmhmm. Lying ass-)
* You felt so safe in his arms, you fell asleep right away. He did as well only to be met with your hand on his face. He loves you but can’t you sleep normally???
* He was gonna scold you but then he sees something in your mouth? His scream made you wake up. Luckily you spat out the spider as well. When you question him what’s wrong, he looks completely terrified.
* You get a whole earful the next day for you not sleeping properly.
* From now on he made extra precautions before bed: a canopy, bug spray, bug zapper. You and Red had to convince him not to make you wear a mask while you sleep
Blue:
* Ugh his cuddles are the BEST. Especially his special pillow forts!!!
* You guys decided to make it that night. The pillows were a bit dusty but it should be fine, you’ll cover it in blankets and spray disinfectant spray. You guys fell asleep after watching a scary movie.
* Blue was pretty freaked out and woke up after hearing you sneeze. Luckily you were asleep and didn’t see him jump….he turns to you.
* Yup. That’s a spider.
* He. Panicked. IMMENSELY.
* He really thought you were dead for a moment. No way a human could sleep with a whole BUG in their mouth!!! He woke up to him crying. He was relieved you were ok …..But he panicked again when you closed your mouth.
* Luckily you guys got it out in time. And Blue learned how much of a heavy sleeper you are…..
Slim:
* Poor sweetheart didn’t really understand cuddling. You had to explain it to him quite a few times (after MULTIPLE misunderstandings *ahem*)
* Once he’s got the jist of it, he is so cute! Give him head rubs!
* One night he woke up a bit too early but saw you and looked at you with such adoration….
* Then that spider popped in out of nowhere.
* Ever seen someone glare a spider down? Well imagine that. Deadass he’s giving that spider a death glare. And the spider is staring back….only to try and crawl more around.
* He panics and manages to retrieve it without waking you up. He ends up letting it go outside, still glaring but glad that it’s gone.
* You noticed now everytime you guys head to bed, he now double and triple checks the room. Just in case….

Jealous Hands | Mark
Mark x Reader Word count:1966 Genre: fluff, smut. Author: maari Warnings: Mark being jealous, mentions of fingering, Mark and reader doing things in front of someone (that’s the plot). Minors do not interact, please. This is a +18 story Note: OIIII I can't believe I actually dreamed about this what are you doing to me Mark. I tried to make it a little gentle because I'm testing the waters, that’s my first attempt at writing smut so please be nice to me. Summary: Mark can't control his hands when he's jealous.
⪢ NCT Masterlist
Mark was the most understanding person you knew. One of the reasons that made your relationship so special and stable, in addition to his countless qualities that made you fall in love with him. He loved spending every minute with you, no matter what you were going to do, what mattered to him was the fact that you were together. He knew how unique each day was. But deep down, even if he didn't let it show, that Friday was being torture for his common sense and control. In theory everything would be perfect, you had arranged with your best friend to spend the turn from Friday to Saturday eating and having fun, whether with fun movies or games, since it's been a long time since you two have seen each other, her boyfriend too would be there as well as her brother. But in practice, it wasn't all so pretty. Mark noticed the moment you arrived hand in hand the way your best friend's brother was looking at you. It was the same way he, your boyfriend, looked at you. The bastard had a crush on you and his eyes wouldn't stop looking at your bare legs. It was a typical summer night and this was your best friend's house, reason enough to feel comfortable wearing a pair of denim shorts and a T-shirt of Mark's own, twice your size, and also enough to the bastard's imagination ran wild right in front of Mark. To be fair, Mark even tried to ignore the boy's presence as you were talking and even when the pizza arrived, but it was an extremely difficult task. Especially when the guy decided to put one of his hands on your bare thigh as he excitedly chatted with you while your best friend and her boyfriend went to get the pizza. Without you realizing it, Mark held your waist even tighter as he killed the idiot with his gaze.
"You should visit me at practice sometime, Y/N." he suggested and Mark raised his eyebrows, listening intently. "It would be nice." you replied and turned to face your boyfriend, your smile growing. “What do you think, babe?” Mark smirked and shrugged. “Visit the high school? I'm in!" he replied and you looked at him confused. Partly by the unrecognizable tone of voice and partly by what seemed to be a provocation. Collin, your best friend's brother, was only two years younger than the two of you but he was already in college. "I'm not the one with the blue hair." Collin replied while you were still looking at Mark and before you looked back at him, there was time to see a glint of amusement in Mark's eyes. “Y/N likes to pull when my head is between-” Mark was interrupted by the arrival of your best friend and her boyfriend, who were talking loudly about how the pizza smelled and was your cue to stare at your boyfriend in complete shock. Mark wasn't one to reveal intimate details in front of others, in fact when Haechan or Chenle hinted at anything his ears would turn so red they looked like they were going to explode, so hearing that from him was quite surprising. Mark cocked his head to the side as if silently asking you if it was a lie, which it wasn't but no one needed to know, and you had to blink a few times before turning your attention back to the pizza in front of you. The next few minutes while everyone ate was less embarrassing, Mark too busy talking to your best friend's boyfriend and Collin ate in silence, sometimes looking at Mark out of the corner of his eye and you were in the middle of it. Even talking to your best friend, you couldn't help but notice that the atmosphere had gotten heavier and Mark's fingers that didn't leave your waist didn't stop the gentle caress for a moment. After the pizza was over, everyone was too lazy to play something, you guys decided to watch a movie. You and Mark lay together on a couch while your best friend and her boyfriend lay on the rug, and Collin on the other couch. Even though it was relatively warm because it was nighttime, your best friend handed out blankets, you and Mark shared as your legs intertwined and he hugged you around the waist, your back against his chest and you were finally able to relax after a busy week. You even paid attention for the first fifteen minutes of the movie but after that, with Mark's breath against your neck and his other hand under your head making a subtle caress, you dozed off.
Mark took the moment when he felt you relax in his arms to take a deep breath and control himself. He had been jealous before, not least because he was human after all, and he knew he had nothing to worry about because he was the one you were with. It wasn't the others they tried their luck with, not even Collin. In fact, he didn't even know why it had affected him so much, but the image of Collin staring at your thighs with such desire stuck in his head and made him even more angry. Your best friend and boyfriend got up at the end of the movie, warning that they were going to sleep in bed and you woke up with the movement, still lost and agreed while stretching. However, sleepily, you didn't notice that your hips rubbed slowly against Mark's body and you moaned, feeling your muscles complain and your leg tingle from the position you had slept in. It was normal, there was no malice but that's not how Mark's body reacted. He widened his eyes and felt his ears burn as he realized you weren't the only who had woken up. The first thing he thought to do was move your hips away and he reached to take his arm around your waist and put his hand on the skin that had been exposed by the shirt to push it, but his instinct didn't allow it and he ended up bringing you closer as he brought his face to the back of your neck. Mark wanted to relax his body, he even tried but when he realized that this was a losing fight, he placed a wet kiss on your skin. And another, and another. You giggled and brought one of your hands up to his hair for a quick caress but fell silent when you felt his tongue against the back of your neck, a shiver ran over your skin and you bit your lip. You never had a soft spot on your neck before you met Mark because afterwards, no matter how intense the kiss he left on your skin, whether it was a simple peck or a long, wet kiss, every time you felt your legs give out. And now it was no different, even when lying down. Mark took your skin between his lips and you almost forgot where they were. Almost. "Mark." you whispered, hoping he'd get the message, but your voice was already weak. You weren't alone in the room, Collin was still there, he looked like was sleeping but he was still there! Your heart raced even faster as he sucked your skin hard and you wanted to roll your eyes. Had it gotten hot all of a sudden or was it the blanket? He let go of your skin and although the sound was low, in that absurd silence, it was as if it had echoed through the whole house, you started to say something but closed your mouth before any sound came out, because it would surely be another moan completely different from the one you had let go, because Mark took the hand that was on your waist to your belly button and started making circles in that area, which made all the little hairs stand on and the skin prick up under his fingers. Besides making a fire grow between your legs. The right thing would be for both of you to go upstairs if this was going to continue but Mark's fingers playing with your skin like that weren't letting you think about what was right or wrong, just how you wanted him. Sleep had even passed. "I think we'd better-" you started to speak but Mark stopped you before you finished. “Shh.” he replied, his mouth closer to your ear and your stomach churned with sheer anxiety as his hand came down, invading inside the shorts you were wearing. “They will listen to us.” you warned, looking at Collin who was a few feet away, and he giggled, his breath hot against your ear. “Let them.” you didn't know where that boldness was coming from but it wasn't a lie, you were enjoying it. At the same moment you felt your cheeks burn, his fingers reached inside your panties and automatically you took your hand to his wrist, the intention should have been to make him stop but that was completely forgotten when he started to touch you. touch. Slowly, at such a gentle pace that you were forced to close your eyes and just feel. Wet enough, he added another finger and you bit your bottom lip hard to keep the sounds from coming out, because they would be too loud, but that didn't seem to be enough for Mark who instead of just touching you, stuck his fingers in and ripped out all the air you had just sucked in. Mouth set in a perfect O, you moaned softly as he took advantage of the hottest spot on your body that needed him the most. He did a wonderful job with his fingers, but you needed more. And the heat he was emanating from under the blanket, and the fact that you were only now realizing how excited he was leaning against your ass, weren't helping your failed quest to remain silent. "You can do more than that." he spoke close to your ear and placed a kiss there, making you moan his name a little louder. If Collin hadn't heard it before, he did now. “Let them know who you belong to.” you rolled your eyes in pleasure and closed them, not caring if they heard. Screw Collin, Screw your friend and her boyfriend, Screw the world. The only thing you wanted was for Mark to take you to the top. And he was determined to do that because his fingers touched you in the right place and the rhythm increased, making your moans be constant until you feel your toes twitch and a wave of electricity run through your whole body until you release where Mark touched you, feeling him push his hips against yours and you felt the volume, another loud moan too much this time and you were finally able to take a deep breath, feeling your legs go limp and a wide smile forming on your lips as you turned to face Mark. When his fingers left your body, he took them to his mouth and sucked all the liquid he had collected, you felt your jaw drop as he smirked, a gleam in his eyes you couldn't identify but the dilated pupils you understood. “As always, delicious.” he said and you shook your head, laughing shyly. Mark brought his face closer to yours and was about to kiss you when you heard Collin get up off the couch and out of the room as fast as a rocket, Mark could have sworn he saw him huff and it made him smile even wider. The message had been sent, received and read successfully.
