Angstober 2024 Masterlist

My masterlist for @angstober 2024, throughout four fandoms (Chicago PD, Chicago Med, FBI & Heartstopper)

Also I gotta give credit to @chicago-pd-is-weird for quite a few of these ideas, haha.

Day 1: Please God, Not Again (PD)

Trudy can't do much but think. Not when Hank's fighting for his life somewhere in the hospital, and she's sitting there helpless.

Day 2: When You Lose Something You Can't Replace (PD)

What if Meredith didn't make it out of the hostage situation in Called in Dead (2x9)?

Day 3: Half Return (PD)

After Lexi dies, Adam watches helplessly as Al throws himself into danger day by day.

Day 4: Villain and Violent (Infant and Innocent) (PD)

What started as a simple date, has unforeseen consequences. Al struggles with the aftermath.

Day 5: I Had To Get Out (PD)

As he packs his life up, Antonio thinks about how he got there. How he became this.

Day 6: Alien Blues (PD)

Erin knew the signs, knew them better than most. And she hated that.

Day 7: I Love You, I'm Sorry (Med)

After Ava's suicide, Connor can't stay. Unfortunately Will can't leave.

Day 8: Pain Is Cold Water (PD)

When Hank gets out of jail and starts running Intelligence, the strain in his friendship with Al and Trudy becomes more prominent.

One night Al and Trudy talk about it, as Al tries to make sense of his feelings.

Day 9: I Know The End (PD)

When Camille is dying, she asks Al and Trudy to promise her something.

Day 10: I Guess She's Gotta Cut Her Blue Hair Off (PD)

When an incident leaves Trudy embarrassed, she ends up making an impulsive decision in the aftermath.

Day 11 + 14: Can Someone Tell Me I'm Not Going Crazy? (PD)

Al had been avoiding it for a while. Just telling himself the same things over and over again.

He wasn't sick, he was fine, he was fine.

Day 12: And I Tried To Hold These Secrets Inside Me (PD)

Hailey isn't doing well and Jay struggles to help.

Day 13: My Tears Ricochet (FBI)

After finding out about Tyler's cancer, Jubal needs his wife more than anything.

Day 15: Holding On, Letting Go (PD)

Eventually Al and Trudy had to accept the reality. Even if it hurt.

Day 16 + 24: When Words Fail (PD)

What was supposed to be a straightforward undercover assignment, changes in an instant.

Day 17: A Safe Haven (PD)

The kids that decide to pick on Alvin always regret it in the end.

Day 18: Tolerate It (PD)

What started as a simple role, just might be the end of Al's career.

Day 19: Love The Way You Lie (PD)

Al wasn't quite sure when he had developed a crush on Hank. But he knew there was no world where it ended good for him.

Day 20: Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? (PD)

My version of what exactly Alvin Olinsky, Hank Voight and Jimmy Shi did to Browning after the murder of Officer Eddie Penland.

Day 21: The Bolter (PD)

Part of Al just wanted to leave without saying anything. But he knew he couldn't do that, not to Hank and Trudy.

Day 22: Tears, Toys and Togetherness (PD)

Trudy and Henry try to comfort Alvin after an incident with his precious stuffed animal, Tank.

Day 23: All I Want (Heartstopper)

All Charlie wanted right now was to see Nick. Even if just for a little bit.

Day 25: I See My Reflection In Your Eyes (PD)

Alvin Olinsky was 18 the first time he killed. A gun pressed into his hands and orders in his head.

Alvin Olinsky was 60 the last time he killed. The world thought he was dead, but he was out for revenge.

Day 26: After The Fall (PD)

Al thinks this is the only way. Trudy and Hank try to get him to see otherwise.

Day 27: Until Morning Comes (PD)

Hank doesn't care that he'll be sore in the morning. All that matters to him is that Al is okay.

Day 28: When Living Means Leaving (PD)

Al reflects on his life and marriage, as he comes to a conclusion he wish he didn't have to.

Day 29: Castles Crumbling (PD)

Hailey needed to get out for herself, and for that little girl she once was that never got that chance.

Day 30: Always An Angel, Never A God (PD)

Al would take it because he knew it's all he'd ever get.

Day 31: Family Line (PD)

When Makayla starts asking questions, the conclusion she comes to isn't completely wrong.

[misaneeragoni]

I just finished putting together a playlist for #kidpiratesmonth2025 !

Just gonna link the names of the songs here + my thoughts for why I chose them for Kidd! Spoilers for the 1100s ^^

Songs used: 00:00 - 04:21 - Headliners - Eustass Kid + Trafalgar law

-> Ain't explainin' nutin'

04:22 - 08:37 - Eluveitie - The Call of The Mountain

-> I believe that this song is played on pipebags, and well, Kidd's a scot! + Rock music. I personally like the cover by Alina Gingertail best. She's a redhair, just like Kidd!

Plus, the lyrics add up perfectly.

"Against the waves, with our swords in our hands Against the sea, with our backs to the walls Against distress, in the presence of our enemies Against the storms, roaring at our faces"

08:38 - 12:15 - Katy Perry - Hot n Cold

-> This one's mostly just a joke on Kidd's tsundere tendencies.

12:16- 16:41 - Eluveitie - A Rose for Epona

-> I just really like Eluveitie's style for Kidd. Again I much prefer the Alina Gingertail cover, she's taken the original work and made something even more special out of it.

I also like the imagery of this:

"While hopes bog like condemned men"

Together with the idea of impending defeat, well, Kidd does have the unfortunate habit of having Yonkos beating his butt up.

16:42 - 20:14 - Avril Lavigne - Here's to never growing up

-> A less meaningful, positive party song for a party-heavy crew.

Avril is another favourite pick of mine for Kid. Cursing, getting drunk and having a good time are all things I associate with him!

In a way, I also like to think of it as a song for Kidd before life hardened him, he got betrayed, and stopped trusting folks altogether.

20:15 - 22:26 - Waterparks - I miss having sex but at least I don't wanna die anymore

-> Another one of the weak adds, if you go super experimental with this then you could directly interpret it as "he misses Victoria but he's over wanting to die now", but eh.

I just think it's a fun and crass song and therefore I'd like to stick it to him like a "kick me" post-it.

In a way it's also about not meeting expectations but it's definitely still one of the weaker songs out of these.

Also, I used the gif with water splashing on Kidd that everybody thirsts over in the playlist. Oh I can post gifs here! Lemme update everything.

22:27 - 25:43 - I don't know how but they found me - Choke

-> The Kidd pirates don't exactly hold back on violence, so I love some violent songs for them! Plus I found a gif of Kidd grabbing the camera + grabbing the head of a Beast Pirate so it's freaking perfect.

Lyrics:

"Now shut your dirty mouth If I could burn this town I wouldn't hesitate To smile while you suffocate and die And that would be just fine And what a lovely time, that it would surely be So bite your tongue And choke yourself to sleep"

25:44 - 28:42 - The Offspring - You're gonna go far, Kid(d)

-> I mean, do I have to explain a single thing?

God I love this song. Every single time it plays I get up and dance to it. So I didn't play it while making this playlist. That would have been counterproductive and a great workout.

Also, god I love how much love they gave to Kidd and Law during the Big Mom fight!! <333

28:43 - 32:17 - Mother Mother - Hayloft II

-> A weaker addition, but it's epic enough to deserve being in a Kidd playlist. Murder + rock = good time + Kidd pirates

32:18 - 34:46 - The Boys - You've got a license to drive (me crazy)

-> Ehhhh. Another weak add. Kinda romance Kid but also mostly because The Boys is such a brutal show.

34:47 - 38:10 - Panic! at the disco - Death of a bachelor

-> More romance Kid! I don't have any good reason, sorry. I put this in my Killer playlist (not made yet, only on spotify) too, but ehhhh. I really regret not finding a fitting AJJ song in hindsight haha.

Oh dammit you can't put more than 10 video links on these :'( So hard picking a top 10!

38:11 - 40:42 - Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #27 - Drunk on Pride

-> This one I really really like because it's got some lyric accuracy!

"Deep inside a trench, no light can reach You might find the skull of a ship that was breached [...] Captain of his ship has nothing but time To watch his dream die as he gets drunk on pride Long after they lost their names 'Cross the sea in a battle of waves Rushing through the rocks, they pass through the caves Remnants of ash drifting outside their vase Weapons that are used were buried away Flags that were torn get lost in a page Barely any scars left from the good old days"

I love the imagery of the sunk Victoria Punk (skull of a ship?? it's perfect! maybe this is standard ship terminology that I'm unfamiliar with, but still!)

A lot of people accuse Kidd of being too prideful and therefore being defeated by Shanks, and think of that what you will, but that means that this song fits perfectly!

40:43 - 43:48 - Dangerous

-> I really love this song for him! It's just oozing confidence and cockiness. Plus cursing and fucking around (literally). I don't know. Just hits the Kidd spot perfectly for me.

43:49 - 46:58 - George Barnett - Stone Cold Classic

-> Another one I really really like! It's hot stuff villain music if ya ask me. Cursing + oozing confidence. Plus rock-y something music. I don't know, I don't know the first thing about music.

"Fire up the flames I'll do you damage Instagram the blaze I'm Shere Khan savage

You don't have to ask You know I have it No, you don't have to ask I god damn have it

AKA's the name Got blind ambition Baddest in the game With Van Gogh vision

You don't have to ask You know I have it No, you don't have to ask I god damn have it"

46:59 - 50:27 - Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

-> This one I found on a different Kid playlist, so this ain't my idea at all! That was a great playlist. It's rock, it fulfills the Kid as a vampire fanfiction that I've never written, I mean what?, and I paired it with this gif of Kid eating because you know... black hole...

50:28 - 53:35 - Paramore - crushcrushcrush

-> Another find on a different Kid playlist! I added these two copycats because I'll be listening to these playlists a bunch too, so I don't want to miss out on these perfect fits for Kid. It's just perfect romance Kidd. Something my own romantic choices for him didn't manage at all. Heh.

53:36 - 57:18 - Evanescence - Bring me to Life

-> Now this is the absolute punk / emo whatever classic song, so... yeah. Belongs in here!

57:19 - 01:02:17 - Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit

-> I like this sort of vibe for the Kidd pirates - partying hard, banging their heads, with just a hint of self-hatred underneath!

01:02:18 - 01:06:22 - Avril Lavigne - Complicated

-> Another romance song for Kid. Mostly chosen for that idea of "don't pretend to be anyone else" that I think would be very present aboard the Kidd pirates. They're unapologetically themselves, so you should be too!

01:06:23 - 01:08:56 - Clarx, Catas, Le Malls - Numb the Pain

-> Another bout of fitting lyrics. I assume that even the most battle-hardened pirates might eventually succumb to the stress of the weather and practically every other human in the world wanting you dead, so I like these kind of reminiscent songs for the Kid Pirates. It's not like it's a major deal for them, but every now and then they just wanna fucking relax, ya know?

"I know we grew up a little too fast I miss the days that we'd chill and relax Where did the time go? It all passed Now I need to go back I had no worries but always have plans Only thing I did was take out the trash Now It's much harder to laugh Hard to get up and then work on my craft Feel like all of you hate me Everything's been so hard with all the situations lately Well maybe I'm done, maybe I've lost Still putting up a fight because [...]"

01:08:57 - 01:12:24 - Avril Lavigne - Smile

-> Some more happiness in between! Chosen for Kidd's wide smile and also ideally Killer eventually getting to be comfortable with his smile and laughter. Poor man.

01:12:24 - 01:15:56 - Tim McMorris - On Top of the World

-> I absolutely love this one! It's such a feel-good song and once more it's oozing confidence, fitting Kidd perfectly!

"I'm on top of the world, and now I'm livin' And the good just gets better, keeps on givin' Not even close to the end, it's just beginnin' Life is getting lighter While the days are getting brighter, yeah

And it's all good, I won't even worry anymore Took all my cares, took them, kicked them all, out the door Go on and try it, come on and tell me what you're waiting for Move and keep on going, till' your life is overflowing, yeah

I gotta celebrate life And get excited about Good times and good livin' Come on and shout it out, (hey!)

Take it up, take it over, take it out of control Today I'm freein' my soul, and now you got me singin'

I'm feelin' fine, smiling big, feelin' right like I should Life is better then good, yeah, you got me singin'

I'm standing up, on top of the world tonight And everything's working out, just right And while the world is spinning It's a brand new beginning I'm here finally winning (hey!) So, take it up, take it over, take it out of control Today I'm freeing my soul, and now you got me singin'

We gotta be the best, the best we can be And though sometimes we don't wanna Still we gotta chase our dreams Reach up, and reach high, because we're gonna pull on through And give it all we got, even though it can seem so hard to

Catch and make happen, but we can't start slackin', come on Do what ya gotta do to fight on So no matter what comes your way Nothin' can ruin your day or even wipe your smile away

By the time I'm up and outta my bed I got a hundred new ideas floatin' 'round in my head With a hope for tomorrow, a dream that I can see Of all the awesome things, the great people we could be"

I've copied most of it because... well. It's just coded perfectly for the future King of the Pirates!

01:15:57 - 01:20:04 - Fall Out Boy - The Phoenix

-> Kidd's about to raise like a Phoenix! From the supposed grave to heaven and above!

01:20:05 - 01:22:35 - Don't wanna be - The Score

-> More of a positive, laid back song about sticking to yourself!

"I don't ever wanna be someone who follows everybody else When everyone is busy out chasing I'll make another road myself Cause I know I was meant for something more There's gotta be something here worth fighting for"

01:22:36 - 01:25:59 - Fall Out Boy - Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

-> A nice wrap-up song for all the memories made along the way!

Thank you so much for reading this abysmally long post! I hope you could find some songs you enjoyed in here. None of the gifs are my own but stolen from the interwebs!

Just barely managed to cap it at 30 images and 10 links, phew!

My thoughts on the s2 soundtrack

SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE GRISHAVERSE BOOKS BELOW!!

1. On the run: definitely alina mal in some dramatic chase scene in ep 1

2. Market chase: Mal (and possibly alina) running in the village in the sneak peak we got in september

3. Tolya and Tamar: Alina and Mal meet Tolya and Tamar

4. Wylan: No explanation needed but AHHHHHH. says a lot that he’s the only character with the track as simply their name. superior king

5. Come Sail Away: Dramatic moment on Nikolai’s ship, where they first set sail or smth

6. Brother: Jordie flashback (SO SOON THO, assuming the soundtrack is in order). 

7. Arriving at the Island: Nikolai’s ship docks at an island where they look for the sea whip, I haven’t read S&S in a hot minute so don’t count me on this one

8. Crows ambushed: :( Probably involves Pekka

9. Return of the Useless Grunt: No idea who this is... definitely something to do with Ketterdam and the Dregs tho

10. I’m Here for the Killers: Kaz related I’m guessing, perhaps him talking to the crows and reminding what they’re here for, inducing a ruthless mindset

11. Matthias fights: Hellgate scene ay

12. The Night We Met: Christina Strain posted this on twitter with an explosion emoji so I think we’re safe to assume it’s for wesper!! so we ARE getting tannery scene?? I’m so confused haha

13. Become the Blade: It’s mal doofuses

14. Jesper’s Past: AHHHHHH

15. Hope is Dangerous: Inej, a darker moment for her character this season (perhaps the way she is ‘tested’ that Amita referred to in an interview a long time ago?). Or maybe this is the scene in the trailer where she is fighting the Shu warrior?

16. Shu Han: Party arrives in Shu Han I’m guessing, the crows are involved too I bet since they seem to be in Shu Han in the trailer

17. The Disciple: Something to do with s&b, possibly the apparat? I need to reread that series before s2

18. I Can’t Lose You: Malina (perhaps alludes to Darkling’s remark “Are you prepared to sacrifice that which is most precious to you?”)

19. Deserve Her: Kanej or Malina, could be Helnik but I have no idea where they’re going with Nina and Matthias and if they will even meet other than in Matthias’s dreams

20. Chased: Not sure, either crows or Mal and Alina again

21. Battle at the Moat: Was this where Wylan was with Kaz and he was throwing a bomb at Tamar? I was never sure if Tamar was actually part of that scene or if they were different ones. Either of those shots are definitely involved her though

22. Stronger Than An Emerald: I’m guessing this is related to Pekka (Emerald Palace), and definitely is true since Kaz ended up refurbishing the place and renaming it The Silver Six (adorable btw). But if so, does that mean the crows have now returned to Ketterdam? Or has Pekka Rollins joined them in Shu Han? Or did they never go to Shu Han in the first place?

23. We Can Do This: Perhaps the scene with Kaz, Jesper, Wylan, Tolya, Tamar, Nikolai, and Adrik where they are watching the nichevoya and about to attack?

24. Final Goodbye: Crows part with s&b crew, or maybe the darkling and alina. Or if they reach the end of r&r and mal is about to sacrifice himself for alina?

25. Let Me Be Your Monster: Darkling, move on

26. Loss ad Sacrifice: Never mind, THIS is probably where mal sacrifices himself?? Or maybe Genya and the nichevoya?

27. Hope for the Future: Ending theme, perhaps ties in with the Inej track

28. How Will You Have Me: this is going to be the best scene in the show. 

29: Rise And Fall: idk man probably s&b related

Notes:

- this season is going to be INSANE. i’m really excited and scared because I’ve been waited for this for two years and... wow. 

- no Nikolai track? Maybe ‘come sail away’ is for him?

- hyped for march 10 when i will be able to listen to them and analyze all of these further!

[meet the prisoners!] prisoner 004: chiba naomi

hi, i physically cannot draw characters who are older than, like, 24-25 years old. they always end up looking too young 😭

anyway, meet the oldest prisoner oc i have! she's basically gonna be everyone's mom friend because someone needs to watch over these guys and take care of them and they won't do it themselves.

(prisoner 001's profile)

(prisoner 002's profile)

(prisoner 003's profile)

General info:

Name: Chiba Naomi (千葉 直美) ("Chiba" means "thousand" and "leaves" and "Naomi" means "direct" and "beautiful")

Age: 30 y/o

Gender: Female

Status: Prisoner 004

Birthday: December 26 (Capricorn)

Height: 178 cm

Blood type: A

Image color: #9DD1D1

Occupation: Elementary school teacher

Personality: Naomi is a very caring and understanding woman who is always here to help other prisoners and even the guards. She believes that she has to guide other prisoners and give them advice because she's the oldest one here and these guys really need someone to rely on. She also has a lot of experience because of her job, so she's good at dealing with the younger prisoners, even though she does look a bit anxious whenever she has to talk to the youngest criminal here who is only 11 years old. Maybe it's because she thinks that he doesn't belong here, so she has no idea what to do to help him? Or maybe her reason is completely different? But no matter how hard Naomi tries to stay strong and act as a reliable "mother figure", she often looks and sounds tired. Whenever her crime is mentioned, she starts visibly panicking, but she's able to calm down quickly. She's definitely one of those prisoners who actually regret committing their crime.

MV info:

Which canon Milgram song she would cover: Weakness. I actually wasn't sure which song I should give her at first but then I listened to Weakness again and for some reason I feel like the voice I imagine her to have would fit perfectly?? I JUST KNOW HER COVER WOULD SOUND SO GOOD. Also I accidentally made her pose almost just like Trial 1!Haruka and her MV/crime has similar themes, it would be weird for me to assign her any other song at this point, haha.

Which DECO*27 song she would cover: Liar Dance. It just sounds good in my head, okay?

If she could cover a song by a different Vocaloid producer, which one would it be: The Day I Was Away From School by Kikuo. It describes the events that happened before her crime really well :)

Her MV description:

Her MV starts with Naomi waving goodbye to her students who leave the classroom and smiling at them. The colors are warm and soft at first, but they become darker and colder when the music starts playing. The classroom is completely empty now, but for some reason Naomi still doesn't want to leave yet. She sees that it's raining outside and she looks a bit more annoyed now. She tries to close the curtains so that she doesn't have to see what's going on outside, but she still can see a lightning strike and she hears a very loud sound of thunder right after that. She gets scared and she almost falls on the floor, but she still can't leave the classroom. She also keeps looking at a particular empty desk, but she tries to distract herself from it. The lyrics mention that she can't go home yet even though it's dangerous for her to stay here.

It slowly starts to rain even more and when Naomi sees another lightning, she notices that the classroom is getting flooded and she finally decides to leave. But as she tries to leave the building, the water just keeps following her and the whole school is becoming more and more flooded. Naomi is finally outside and she gets in her car and she calms down for a moment until she realizes that even her car is becoming flooded. She starts to panic even more and the lyrics mention her getting really angry at someone and hating them so much that she wants them dead.

Another lightning strikes and Naomi opens her eyes to see that same classroom, but the colors are warm again this time and her students greet her and smile at her the same way she smiled at them in the beginning. She starts crying tears of joy and she feels like she's finally free, but then she looks around and realizes that everyone is way too happy. For some reason she doesn't like it and she looks at that empty desk again. She looks lost and confused and she doesn't understand why everyone is still so happy. She walks closer to the desk even though she doesn't want to and notices that something is written on it (but we can't see it that well). She tries to read it and after that she starts crying again, but not out of happiness this time. Her students get worried and try to comfort her, but she just keeps crying and looking at that desk.

Her Trailer 1 Voicelines:

"Ah, hello there. My name is Chiba Naomi. So you two are the guards of this prison.. Aren't you a bit too young for this? Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm sorry if that sounded rude. But.. are you sure you can handle a job like this?"

"CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR AT LEAST ONE SECOND? WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS? WHAT DID I EVEN DO TO YOU, I ALWAYS TRIED MY BEST TO BE KIND TO YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID! SO WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH??"

Trivia.

She thinks she deserves to get voted guilty, however, unlike Shidou, she doesn't want to die, she just wants "someone to tell her that she's guilty". She refuses to explain what she means by that.

Her murder was her only crime and she had only one victim.

She wants to become friends with all the prisoners if possible, but she's not as obsessed with it as Aimi, she just wants to have a good relationship with them and that's all.

If Akio and Aimi's theme is "reputation", then Shun and Naomi's theme is "expectations". I want to talk about it more, but it would be a huge spoiler for Shun's crime and backstory.

[notebookmusical]

Happy birthday!!! Yay I'm glad your voice is a little bit better but it's also funny to me that I have no idea what it even sounds like either..as many times as you've talked about it. It's one of the weird things about just talking online. For me, I get in the habit of just thinking everyone sounds like me haha jk. Also your crafty painting looks good! I admire your dedication to make so many bracelets since I'm not crafty at all..maybe that's something I could work on in the new year. Yes I want to see Company and I said possibly Mean Girls but I won't really know until it gets closer. Ooh I think seeing Spring Awakening would be so fun and cool!

So I can't remember if you're 26 or 27 today..but a fun fact is that Paramore has a song called 26 and Fall Out Boy also has a song called 27! I actually just became aware of the 27 one this year lol and have only heard it like twice but still! I also learned of a song called 24 this year by Switchfoot when Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots covered it. So there are songs from 22 to 27 and I find that so cool. Right where you left me wasn't out when I turned 23..although I really could've used it back then and Nothing New but I had 23 by Jimmy Eat World which is one of the best most favorite songs ever! Also Blink 182...lol. And the pretty reckless, Taylor Momsen's band has a song called 25. But since we were just talking about Paramore and Fall Out Boy, I thought I would share! The only thing is..I'm not sure they even mention a lyric in the song..I think it's just the title. I hope you are liking their first album and the songs I recommended..but I'm glad you're going in order. Let me know what you think but also take your time! I'm sorry if the list of songs I recommended seemed overwhelming..I just love a lot of their songs.

So in a new quote Hayley Williams talked about how Taylor originally wanted her to sing on a different vault song and now I'm so curious which one it was. Possibly Electric Touch or I can See You. If it was I Can See You, that wouldve been awesome but I'm also happy with Castles Crumbling too. When we first heard I Can See You, my sister said the song fit Fall Out Boy more and he should have sang on that one instead of Electric Touch but the collabs are so good. I also suspected maybe it was Drama Queen cuz Hayley said she didn't connect to it or the sound that much..idk. but it makes me happy it was her choice cuz a lot of Paramore fans were complaining at first that Hayley didn't get to sing or show her vocals enough. I love their friendship and will be happy when they are back on tour together.

Wow it does seem like a lot of vinyls but think of it as a treat to yourself. I've never understood having a vinyl for one song though..I find that so interesting lol. You mostly have good taste and it seems like it makes you happy. Also..I like the new url and I'm definitely going to listen to the Fruitcake EP next week closer to Christmas! I did watch her new video though.

So I did not get a chance to watch the Eras movie yet but hopefully soon. But I did see the pics Taylor posted of her bday and I loved her outfit sooo much! She looked so good and really happy. Some people even have theories about TS11 based on the outfit but it also just felt like Midnights to me! However I'd love an album where she leaned into astrology or constellation stuff too. My sister loves stars so it could be really cool and I wonder what it would be like but it seems similar to Midnights too. I don't think this is as soon as other people think but I think it's fun to think about sometimes. Anyway I think today is also the day the CATS movie came out and I went to see it cuz I was soo excited my two worlds were colliding. Did you ever watch the movie..lol. I know some people were unhappy with it but I thought it was fine..I think people just don't get the musical, and it didn't really translate as a movie or onscreen at all. But I loved the musical with the costumes when I saw it last year and I like a lot of the songs. I'm pretty sure Today is also the day I watched La La Land for the first time too!!! Big day for my worlds colliding! I can't remember if you watched it..but that movie was literally made for me and loved up to my expectations! Now Taylor confirmed the choreographer from La La Land was recommended by Emma and she wanted something more theatrical for this tour..so I'm excited to pay attention to it more when I watch the movie! stuff like focusing on different dancers throughout will be interesting.

Omg I think I forgot to ask you your favorites on Folklore and Evermore! So please tell me and I will try to answer your question. I don't think my rankings have changed much, but I loved the rerecordings and it especially made me appreciate Speak Now more. For me, I don't spend a lot of time replaying full albums and her older music feels too nostalgic so I don't really hear it so I always put it last..sorry but that's the only reason. I guess I just prefer her newer stuff more. I think it would be Folklore, Rep, Red, Lover, Midnights, Evermore, Speak Now, 1989, Fearless, Debut. The middle was hard and I'm sure switch around a lot but I'm sure of my top 3 and bottom 3 I guess. What about you? I hope you have fun at your hockey game and have a fantastic fun birthday weekend!!! 🩷🩷🩷

thank you so much!! 🥺🥺 my voice is actually mostly back — except i was talking to my friend last night (one of my best friends came over with the blank space stabby cake and told me to go at it and stab, which was quite fun) and my voice got a little squeaky near the end! and isn't that so weird? i have a little made up voice for a lot of my internet friends, and it never matches with how they actually sound in real life! i love crafty time! i was thinking of tracking that in my new planner for next year (i'm terrible at habit tracking, which is something i want to be better at too)!

mean girls could be fun! i was supposed to see taylor louderman's last matinee, but then had to sell my ticket to a friend (i was ... hungover) and then missed it when it was in seattle on tour! i'm quite curious about the movie though.

i turn 26 today! which is quite horrifying! trying not to think too much about the birthday scaries! i started listening to some fall out boy too — i listened to the so much (for) stardust album twice, and i really liked it! i definitely need to listen to it more so i know the lyrics for the concert, but i'm really excited now especially since i know i like a lot of the songs! i will go listen to 26 by paramore in a bit 🤍 i was using "25 years old, oh how were you to know" from dancing with our hands tied and "i was 25 and afraid to go outside a millennial that baby-boomers like" from give yourself a try! you are totally fine! i was talking to a friend (who also loves paramore + FOB) about my quest to get into their music and how i usually listen to albums on my walks with toto! but we get distracted a lot (we usually run into neighbors and such) but it's been fun!

i could see hayley on either of those songs! and i do think (from my brief FOB knowledge) that patrick would also sound really good on i can see you! i think it's really interesting that the same thing happened with lana — fans were like "there's not a lot of them on here", and then it turned out to be their own choice!

thank you for the url compliment! and i hope you like fruitcake! i just think it's fun! :")

i've been seeing a lot about the new theories and i'm definitely curious! andddd yes i did see the cats movie (at home) and i... am not a cats the musical fan haha. we actually have beef. my mom and i saw it on tour and someone broke into my mom's car during it and i have been like 😡 that's the show where my mom's car got broken into 😡 ever since. but the dancing/choreo in that show is beautiful, and i loved the taylor song for it! i did watch la la land! i was reading about the mandy moore interview yesterday and thought that was so cool!

ooh i think my favorites on folklore are: cardigan, mirrorball, this is me trying, and peace, and then on evermore: marjorie, right where you left me, cowboy like me, coney island and long story short! </33333 everyone's least favorite is always debut 😭 my top three are: debut, red, and speak now, and then i think folklore, fearless, and evermore, then lover, midnights, 1989, and then reputation. i'm not quite sure of the middle rankings but i am also confident in my top three and last three!

thank you so much! i'm super excited for the hockey game 🤍 hope you have a nice weekend!

1865

New tats in your near future? Unless it's a medical necessity, I intend to keep needles as far away from my skin as much as possible haha.

How about piercings or re-piercings? Nope.

Are there any rooms in your house that you don’t go into every day? I certainly don't go up the rooftop these days because this summer season has been the WORST out of my 26 years of existence and because this 45ºC weather can actually fucking kill.

Who else do you know who has the same favorite color as you do? My sister also likes purple.

Have you ever had a tattoo covered up or added to? I don't have tattoos.

Have you ever kissed someone who has previously kissed someone you hated? No.

Do you have any relatives with red hair? No, not even dyed red hair.

What is tomorrow’s weather forecasted to be like? 43ºC, so we'll be miserable as usual.

Have you ever known anyone who committed suicide? Yes.

What’s some of the worst pain you’ve ever felt? Stomach cramps that came with a particularly bad episode of food poisoning; my hair being bleached; leg cramps that were bad enough to wake me up crying without realizing I've started crying; that brief exact moment I sprained my ankle on my 24th birthday.

What’s your favorite kind of pasta? Fettuccine is sooooo satisfying to eat. 

Would you rather a friend come over to your house or you go over there? Me coming over to their place. There's so much pressure that comes with entertaining guests lol like you want to make sure they're not too feeling hot because the last thing you want to see is them sweating, that there's more than enough food to serve, that the house smells nice, that they have indoor slippers so their socks don't get dirty, that you have enough activities to choose from in case they want to do something fun...it's great once you're in the moment but stressful during the prepping period haha. Maybe it's just the Filipino hospitality in me.

Have you ever had rabies? Nope. I did need to take anti-rabies shots before when my dog bit me.

Do you know anyone who ever had to get a rabies shot? Meeeeeeeeee. A few other people as well, yeah.

Ever eaten deer? Duck? Squirrel? How about lamb? I've had duck and lamb.

What is your favorite parody movie? I remember enjoying This Is Spinal Tap. Johnny English is another one.

What is your least favorite ice cream flavor? Anything with nuts. Rocky Road and Double Dutch is a no-no.

Does your car have heated seats? We have no use for that feature.

Have you ever been tempted to steal? Nah.

Would you rather travel to Ireland or Japan? Ireland.

Does tickling turn you on? Nope.

If you could go over to someone’s house right now, whose and why? If I absolutely had to, just Angela's. They're practically my second family + I can always accompany her while she's reviewing for boards.

What is the age gap between you and your parents? 27 years.

How many bathrooms does your house have? Is this enough? Two. Yes.

Have you ever video-chatted with someone you met online? Yes, video calls with Carley was routine when I was in high school. I never talked out of shyness and was just happy to nod and laugh to her stories, but she seemed more than okay with that which was very sweet in retrospect.

Do you collect anything, or have you ever? I used to collect Beyonce everything, then it turned to collecting One Direction everything, then now it's BTS everything.

When was the last time you used Facebook? 1 hour ago.

How many siblings does your best friend have? She's an only child.

Have you ever dated someone who was emotionally or mentally unstable? Yes.

Be honest: are you clingy? I used to be but not anymore. I loooooooooooove my space.

Have you ever had bronchitis? Nope.

Have you ever had a reptile for a pet? No.

Are you afraid of the dentist? No. I've only ever had positive experiences at the dentist and all of the ones I've been to have had super super light hands.

Did you attend Sunday School as a child? Thank fuck I was never made to attend.

Who was the last person you cuddled with? Uhm my ex, a lifetime ago.

How would you feel if your significant other (or possible partner) told you they dislike having sex, but do so with you to make you happy, even though they personally think it’s a chore? This is the case with me actually. Sex is fun for me but historically it had been a struggle to get my drive up. The incompatibility with my past partner definitely could've been one of the reasons it didn't work out.

Your boyfriend/girlfriend isn’t around but their phone is. Do you look through it? I used to before but only to mess around. I never had any malicious or sneaky intent. Like genuinely all I wanted to do was drop a playful tweet on their Twitter account or to play a game that they had LOL. Never had the desire to look through messages or anything more private.

Do you think you will be in a relationship 3 months from now? Nope.

Have you ever liked anyone that was in a relationship with someone else? No.

Do people ever compliment your eyes? Not my eyes but my eyelashes, since they're long.

Have any of your exes ever given you roses? Yeah.

Do you think your last ex ever thinks about you? No.

Would you rather have salad or french fries for a side dish? Fries.

Which one of your relationships was the shortest? I've only been in one relationship, so that technically counts as both the shortest and longest by default.

Which was the longest? ^ That.

Have any of your exes told you they regret breaking up with you? No, she seemed very happy with their decision as she stopped talking to me as soon as we had our final conversation. She was happy, 100%.

That fucked with me mentally for a very long time, still does from time to time like a random slap in the face; but I've stopped fixating on it. My mind is stronger now and I'm in a much happier place myself, have been for a very long time.

Would you feel hurt if your last ex is in a relationship? No.

Are you going to be getting any new pets soon? I don't think so.

Do you like BBQ sauce? I love barbecue sauce holy shit. Especially on my pizza.

What do you like to do when you’re home alone? Whatever I like to do even when there's people haha. It doesn't change.

Should the guy always pay for the date? No, eugh.

What kind of music calms you down? Depends on my mood.

Do you know anyone who has autism? I don't think so.

What is your favorite way to eat eggs? I love most ways tbh EXCEPT fried. I hate when the edges are all crisp and burnt it feels like eating paper lol.

Do you like Frozen? No, I was always on Team Tangled.

Who is one of your heroes? I don't have any.

Do you enjoy hot chocolate? There's only one kind I look for, which I get from La Creperie.

Do you use Instagram often? Everyday.

If you got a kitten, what would you name it? Hard to tell, it'd depend on their personality.

Do you have a Pinterest account? Nope. I use it for work when I need pegs and such, but only use a guest account.

Do you prefer a quiet or noisy environment? Again, it depends. Am I on a dinner out with friends? It'd be great if it's somewhere noisy so it can help drive up my social battery. Am I on a tight deadline with a press release needed in 30 minutes? Absolutely need all the quiet I can get.

What is one question you don’t like being asked? First world stuff. I don't have a last thing I bought from Walmart, and no I haven't been to any states because I have a shitty third world passport that requires me to get a visa to travel 70% of the world lol.

Who is someone you know who is talkative? Yes. I'm in the PR industry. Everybody is talkative, including myself LOL.

When was the last time you saw one of your uncles? At lunch today.

Do you know anyone who plays the violin? I have a very distant cousin who does. An orgmate does too. I think Hannah or Michelle? I'm blanking out on who it actually is.

Do your parents enjoy any of the things that you enjoy? Do you bond over these things? I share the same appreciation for food as my dad.

Out of all your usernames for websites, which one is your favorite? Do you use it for more than one site? The one for my Twitter. Yes, I recycle it quite a lot.

Have you ever spent the whole day (or multiple days) just looking up one thing on the internet (e.g., videos of your favorite band, how-to videos, quizzes, etc.)? Yes. I LOVE getting into black holes like that haha.

If someone told you that we live in a society that hates women, how would you respond? I'd ask them how they feel about it so I would know how to treat and deal with them going forward. A test question, essentially lol.

Can you remember the last thing you thought and subsequently thought, “wow, I really shouldn’t be thinking that”? Yes. But it will stay in my head, sorry haha.

Michael After Midnight: The Top 30 Death Scenes in Movies

Death, the only sure thing in life besides taxes, or the government fucking up,or furries being able to draw detailed pornography of a new Pokemon .002 nanoseconds after the 3D models are leaked, or... Okay, there’s a lot of things you can expect in life, but death is the big one, and since no one is making movies about furries lovingly drawing Hatterene’s lips around a cock, it’s what we’re going to be talking about tonight.

There is lots of death in films. There’s cool, cathartic deaths where villains get what’s coming to them; there are sad, tragic deaths that invoke feelings from the audience; there are funny deaths that mine black comedy for all it’s worth; death really just comes in many forms. Tonight, I’ll be highlighting 30 of my favorite deaths, kills, and violent ends from all across cinema, the ones I think are worth mentioning more than any others. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some might actually make you vomit, so before we start...

TRIGGER WARNING! THIS LIST CONTAINS SOME REALLY GORY DEATHS IN THE IMAGES AND LINKED VIDEOS. THOUGH THEY ARE FICTIONAL, THIS IS YOUR WARNING.

Oh yeah, and since we’re talking about character’s dying, SPOILER ALERT! There is open talking about twists, character fates, and all that throughout!

...And one more thing. The picture up there is just a joke, cuz this is about scenes where people die, and not scenes where Death is the best part. If that were the case, the list would be a lot shorter and the entirety of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey would be #1, followed by Death’s appearance in Last Action Hero and Death’s appearance in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. And maybe Christopher Walken in Click.

With that out of the way, let’s make like James A. Janisse and start counting those kills!

30. Make Like a Tree and Leaf

Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July 

Good ol’ Rankin-Bass and their fun little holiday specials! They’re always so fun and wholesome, and their villains are always dealt with a non-lethal manner! Haha, look at Winterbolt, how are they going to deal with... Oh. OH GOD. OH HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK!!!!

29. Take My Breath Away

  Help! I’m a Fish 

It’s not a really good animated movie without a horrifically fucked up death scene! In a moment of clever trickery, our protagonist tricks Joe (the Alan Rickman fish) to start chugging evolution juice so he can become human, using his own intelligence and ego against him. What Joe doesn’t seem to realize until he’s too late is that humans can’t breathe underwater, and moments after realizing this and assuming a freakish form, he dies and we watch his lifeless corpse float off into the darkness. God I love children’s films.

28. I Don’t Wanna Be the Guy

Spy Kids 3D: Game Over 

He’s the ultimate badass. The coolest of the cool. When the Guy, played by Elijah Wood, steps onto the scene, you know shit is about to get real, and-

Oh he’s dead. Never mind.

PRESS R TO TRY AGAIN

27. Oh Deer

  Bambi

Before there was Mufasa, there was Bambi’s mom. Much like that iconic parental death from Disney, this is truly a gut punch, a brutal moment of harsh realism punctuating the whimsical forest setting. I think the only reason this is so low is that, as far as Disney parent deaths go, it doesn’t hit quite as hard as Mufasa since she’s killed offscreen. Doesn’t make Bambi’s father’s sad words any less poignant or heartbreaking, though.

26. The Night Gwen Stacy Died

Amazing Spider-Man 2 

I shit on this movie all the time, and with good reason; it’s shit. But it has a few really good moments sprinkled throughout (that only piss me off more because you can see the good movie underneath), and the iconic death of Gwen Stacy is certainly one of them. I even like how Peter’s web forms into a little hand as he leaps after and desperately tries to save her, and Garfield’s misery is well-done both here and in his continued story in No Way Home. Now if only the rest of the movie could have been as well done as this scene.

25. You Get What You Fucking Deserve

Joker 

What do you get when you put a socially awkward, mentally ill clown with a gun on a talk show that has previously made a mockery of him. Why, you get incredibly tense build up to a brutal kill that solidifies Arthur Fleck’s transformation into the Joker, of course!

24. Sometimes You Penguin, Sometimes You Lose

Batman Returns 

Some things really shouldn’t be as emotional as they are. I mean, look at this. This is a bunch of penguins giving a funeral to their deformed master who just dropped dead. This should be ridiculous! And maybe it is a little, but it’s also really tragic and emotionally moving despite itself. This is a man being mourned by the only creatures who ever loved him, who are honoring him in a small way. It really just compounds the tragedy of the character.

23. Your Favorite Scary Movie

  Scream 

This opening scene is nothing short of iconic. There’s Drew Barrymore, a big name actress, in peril by the killer of the film. There’s some close calls, but of course she gets away to become our main character, right? Wrong. She ends up as dead as her boyfriend in the shocking opening twist, a twist that prepares you for just what sort of film you’re about to watch. 

22. Rosebud

Citizen Kane

This might be one of the most iconic opening’s ever put to film. Charles Foster Kane delivers his final words, dies, and sets off the mystery that drives the plot. It really is as simple as that.

21. The Big Hit-ler

Inglourious Basterds

So you’re watching Tarantino’s little WWII fiction movie, and you kind of know what to expect from these sorts of films. No matter what happens, it couldn’t possibly change the outcome we know; Indiana Jones, Captain America, if none of these heroes could alter the course of history, who could? How about a bunch of pissed off Jews with guns and another, equally pissed of Jew who has been plotting to burn the Nazi high command alive in her theater for along while? What ensues is the one rule you’re never supposed to break in a WWII film: Hitler fucking dies, and with his death we get the origin story for the Tarantinoverse.

20. Worthless

The Brave Little Toaster 

The Brave Little Toaster is already a movie with plenty of fucked up stuff, but in the big finale we go to a junkyard where numerous sentient cars forlornly reflect on their lives before being smashed into scrap in what is surely the most fucked up and traumatizing scene in the entire film.

19. People Who Died

The Suicide Squad 

James Gunn really put the “Suicide” back into “Suicide Squad.” They had to show us they weren’t fucking around this time, so after building up this quirky squad filled with nothing but D-listers (and Harley, Boomerang, and Flag) they proceed to brutally massacre them all. Mongal dies in a helicopter crash, one that shreds Boomerang to pieces; Blackguard gets his entire face blasted off; Javelin is taken down before he can even do anything; and Savant, who you’d expect to be a stone-cold badass since he’s played by frequent Gunn collaborator Michael Rooker, pretty much shits his pants and runs away crying like a baby, and Amanda Waller is having none of that. BOOM! There goes his head, and here comes Jim Carroll’s most famous song over a montage of the Squad’s corpses as the real heroes get ready to rock and roll. It’s the perfect blend of hilarious, fucked up, and genuinely sad.

18. One Death to Rule Them All

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 

I almost put in Sauruman’s death from the extended edition, if only because of the fun fact attached to the scene (Christopher Lee helped make the death more realistic because he knew what a man who was stabbed in the back to death would do and would sound like). But as awesome and fun as that is, it’s really inarguable that, in a film filled to the brim with iconic deaths, the one that towers tall above them is old Smeagol’s big dive into Mt. Doom with his Precious, united in his final moments with the only thing he truly cared about. It’s poignant, it’s sad, it’s awesome... and it’s a fitting end for both the ring and the pitiable creature Bilbo Baggins spared all those years ago.

17. Breakin’ the Law

John Wick: Chapter 2 

We’ve seen John Wick mow down bad guys for two whole movies, with no one being able to stand in his way. But he has also always followed the rules. So when he shows up at the Continental, ready to confront Santino (who has spent the entire movie ruining his life), you can feel the sheer tension between the two men as that upstart bastard taunts John with what he believes is invulnerability. Everyone else knows that the clock is counting down to his death, and the tension comes from watching as John slowly reaches his breaking point. Lesson learned: Do not fucking taunt the Boogeyman.

16. Did You Hear Steve Jobs Died of Ligma?

Watchmen

Ok, this one has been memed to Hell and back, but this is still one of the most powerful and iconic death scenes in anything ever. Unable to compromise his black-and-white worldview and allow Adrian Veidt to get away with mass murder even if it’s for the greater good, Rorschach basically asks Dr. Manhattan to put him down. Interestingly, he removes his mask, choosing to die as the man Walter Kovacs rather than the vigilante he had spent his years as, in his final moments reclaiming that humanity he’d seemingly lost. The movie also adds Dan witnessing his friend’s death, something that I felt was severely lacking in the comic. 

15. Aw, Nuts

Hereditary 

If Ari Aster knows how to do one thing well, it’s miserable gut punches that emotionally devastate you. Ignore that twist at the end that makes this death seem like the most absurdly well-prepared series of coincidences. In the moment it happens this is a child being decapitated in a freak accident, her brother driving home in shock with her headless corpse in the back seat, and her mother finding said corpse the next morning and letting out an agonized wail that fades into the funeral.

14. They Did Nazi This Coming

Raiders of the Lost Ark 

You could, if you were a boring idiot who hates fun, argue that the whole of Raiders is pointless and if Indy just stayed home the end result would be the same. This argument is stupid for so, so many reasons, but the big reason is if Indy kept his nose out of the Nazi’s business, we wouldn’t have been able to see the most epic Nazi massacre of all time. Like, what did these morons think would happen when they fucked around with a holy Jewish artifact? 

13. Choke On ‘Em

Day of the Dead 

There’s defiant to the end, and then there’s this. The villainous Captain Rhodes may know he’s quite thoroughly fucked when that swarm of zombies grabs him, but he’s going out taunting his opponents with his last gurgling breath as they rip him apart. Rarely is a death so badass and so cathartic all at once.

12. Deep Trouble

Jaws 

This has frequently been cited as one of, if not the most terrifying scenes in cinematic history. It’s really hard to argue with that, honestly. You never see the shark in this scene, only from its point of view, but what you do see is the terrified cries and flailing of Chrissie while she’s being viciously attacked by an unseen force. You have to imagine what the shark is doing to her below. And then she’s pulled under mid-scream? Yeah, I’d be afraid to go into the water too.

11. Oooh, What a Feeling...

 A Nightmare on Elm Street

Freddy Krueger has scored a lot of impressive kills over the years, many of them accompanied by cool special effects and awesomely cheesy one liners. But for my money, his best murder was where he demonstrated just how terrifying his power could really be on poor Tina. This is just a cruel, brutal, drawn-out death, and you know Freddy enjoyed every second of it.

10. Hello, Little Friend!

Scarface 

Tony Montana refuses to do anything small, and that includes dying. The man snorts a mountain of cocaine and busts out guns blazing for a final confrontation he has no hope of winning, but boy does he go out in style. This is a death for the history books right here.

9. You Shall Not Pass!

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 

It almost feels like cheating putting this on here because, duh, Gandalf bounces back from this in a truly epic way. But he still does die for a little bit, even though we don’t see the full extent until the next film. Taken at face value here, Gandalf dies after pulling off the most unbelievably amazing holding the line moment ever put to film. And then the next film tells me, no, he didn’t die there, he actually died later after fighting this big fucking demon all the way from the bottom of the mountain to the top before dropping dead, experiencing some kind of heavenly acid trip, and then coming back strong enough to whoop Christopher Lee’s ass without even trying? The only thing better than a great death is a great death that leads into an even greater rebirth.

8. Shoebert Dip

Who Framed Roger Rabbit 

To show how serious Judge Doom is, we had to see the dangers of the Dip first hand. What better way to do that then by taking a cute, cheerful little shoe and dip it in while it wiggles in abject terror? Well I can think of a million better fucking ways that wouldn’t have haunted me for my entire life, but it sure as hell wouldn’t have been quite so memorable. 

7. Pride Comes Before the Fall

The Lion King

The one time you wish a cat would land on his feet... and yet, he doesn’t. They call this movie a Hamlet ripoff, but we never see Hamlet’s dad bite the big one like we do with Mufasa. For a lot of people, this is one of the first big tearjerkers of their childhood, and it’s hard to deny that Mufasa’s death still stings today.

6. You like Huey Lewis and the News?

American Psycho 

This scene has gone down in legend as one of the most memeable moments in a film that has spawned a ridiculous amount of memes. Everything about it is amazing, from Bale’s absolutely batshit performance to the awesome music to that amazing spray of blood on his face at the end. But the real cherry on top of the sundae here is the victim, who is played by one Jared Leto. Watching Jared Leto die is a gift in and of itself.

5. Thumbs Up

Terminator 2: Judgment Day 

This is truly a powerful moment, where Arnold’s machine decides to sacrifice himself to preserve a better future for John and his mother. With this final, simple gesture, he truly showcases how even a machine can learn to be human, and helps solidify the hopeful message about how we choose our own destinies and that nothing is set in stone. No amount of crappy sequels can ever diminish just how moving and awesome this scene is.

4. Wet & Wild, Part 1

Psycho 

Perhaps the greatest halfway plot switch of all time, this is perhaps one of cinema’s most iconic murders. Even people who have never seen this film have likely stumbled across an homage or parody of this moment. An underrated component is how we really don’t see all too much; most of the damage is left to our imagination, with only brief flashes of the stabbing and screams filling in the blanks for you.

3. Wet & Wild, Part 2

The Wizard of Oz 

Ever since this death, witches have feared bath time. It’s not foreshadowed at all, it really comes off as an ass pull, but do you really care? It’s so fun and iconic, and fits the fantastical, corny tone of the film perfectly. The Wicked Witch’s pitiful cries of “I’m melting!” are sure to embed themselves in your head forever, too. This just goes to show pulling ideas out of your ass isn’t always a bad thing.

2. Here Comes the Sun

Nosferatu

Out of all the deaths on this list, this one might be the single most important death in cinematic history. Every single vampire killed by the sun owes everything to this, this moment pulled out of the director’s ass so they could have the bad guy die. But as far as ass pulls go, it’s hard to change something that literally redefined pop culture as we know it. This one really changed the game for all time, but there’s one death that, while perhaps not quite as historically significant, is just overall better on every level...

1. There Goes My Hero

The Other Guys 

This may seem like an odd choice. Over The Wizard of Oz? Over Psycho? This scene from a comedy from the start of the 2010s? Well, let me break it down for you.

This scene is perhaps the greatest subversion of expectations of all time. You’ve seen a million cowboy cop action movies with badasses who don’t play by the rules and accomplish impossible feats. Hell, the movie these guys are in is one; an attack chopper is taken down by golfers, for crying out loud! And then you have the casting choices for Danson and Highsmith, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, two of the most badass men in Hollywood who have made careers out of playing unstoppable forces of nature. So when you have all of this coming together, all of this right there in front of you, when The Rock says “Aim for the bushes” and they make that 20 story leap and Foo Fighters starts playing, you believe that they will defy the odds and for a second you don’t even question it.

And then they hit the pavement and die.

This is the single funniest death in any comedy movie and, and I want to be clear I am 100% serious when I say this, it is the greatest moment in cinematic history, period. I have never seen another moment in a movie that is just so undeniably perfect in every way, from actor choice to song choice to the comedic timing of when the song cuts off. It’s just the highest form of art.

Translator’s note: Now this is the angst I’ve been waiting for! I have to give Kaji Yuki huge props because he really had to rely on his entire voice range for this CD, haha. I’m not a Kanato stan by any means, but I did feel somewhat bad for him, despite his selfish behavior from earlier. You can really tell he was struggling all along but he doesn’t know how to convey his feelings so he just defaults to throwing anger tantrums instead.

Track 3: Say My Name

“Haah...School is such a chore. Perhaps I should just burn the whole building to the ground? ...I suppose I’ll just kill some time at the infirmary for no…”

*Rattle*

[00:20] “...!? ...You. ...Hah. I figured you were dead already since I hadn’t seen you in a while. You’ve actually been attending school, it seems. So, are you resting up here? I will excuse myself then. I came here hoping to get some alone time, but since someone is here, that plan has been completely ruined.”

He turns around.

“...Especially since it’s you. ...Well then.”

You stop him.

“Haah...What’s the matter?”

You ask if he’s feeling unwell.

[01:04] “Now why would that matter? It’s none of your business, is it? Please stop meddling with my affairs, it’s highly bothersome.”

You ask if he needs to suck your blood.

“Hahaha…! You would still be willing to offer me your blood after everything?”

You nod.

[01:27] “...While that is rather noble of you, don’t you think that perhaps you’re thinking a little too highly of yourself? If I’m thirsty, I will simply make my way to town. There are plenty of people who can take your role after all. ...Aren’t you the one who said that? ーー Either way, you do not need to worry about me.”

You frown.

“Is that all you had to say? Well then, goodbye.”

Kanato leaves.

[02:06] ( I thought you would return to my side if I continued to push you away like this. Crying, weeping, clinging to my legs. ...All while I remained completely ignorant to just how much your heart was aching. I’m sure that by this point...You had already made your resolve, had you not? ) 

*TIMESKIP*

[02:50] “The hours of boredom are finally over. Now to head straight home. ...Hm? That back side...It’s her, isn’t it? Hmph. I can tell straight away even when she has her head hanging down. ...Hm. Well, I suppose I shall give her a small chance. I can’t just give her the cold shoulder after all. (1)”

He approaches you.

“Good evening. (2).”

You flinch.

[03:26] “Hah. Why so surprised? Is it strange for me to approach you? That being said, I don’t exactly need anything from you. ...So, you were hunched forward quite a bit while walking, what’s the matter? Did something sad happen? ...Hah. If you insist, I would not mind hearing your story. I’m sure it will help combat my boredom. ...So, what happened?”

You brush him off.

“...! ...I-If you’re alright, I suppose that’s fine too. Heeh…”

You tell him you will head home now. 

[04:17] “Yes, please be my guest and be on your merry way. By yourself.”

You walk away.

“Kuh…! ...Hey, wait!”

You come to a halt.

“The infirmary is my resting place, so you better stay away from it in the future!”

You nod.

“Hah...Well get going then! ...What’s the matter?”

You ask if he will be okay by himself.

[05:00] “More than okay. If anything, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Please don’t treat me like a child.”

You smile.

“...’I’m glad’ you say? ...Excuse me!?”

You turn around and walk away.

“Kuh…!!”

*TIMESKIP*

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

[05:42] “...Honestly, what is her problem!? I was so kind as to strike up a conversation with her too…! ...Oh well, I wouldn’t mind if things remain this way either, of course. Even if she were gone, I’d be just…!”

*TIMESKIP*

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

“Tsk...Aah, god!!”

*THUD*

[06:13] “Haah, haah...I have no idea where you are or what you are up to right now. You might be having your blood sucked by one of my other brothers for all I know. When I consider that possibility...I’m overcome by intense feelings of anger and despair. Haah...I...I don’t want this...Why won’t things just go my way!? Iーー To me, you’re so veryーー...! (3)”

*TIMESKIP*

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

“Haah...Haah...Haah…”

*Tick・tock・tick・tock*

[07:19] “ーーUgh! Guess I have no other choice! At this rate, my rage will never be quelled. While I don’t like having to do this, I will bend. It’s frustrating, but...You’re all I have…”

He opens his drawer and pulls out a piece of paper.

*Flip*

*Scribble scribble*

*TIMESKIP*

You are standing out on the balcony.

*Knock*

[08:07] “...Are you still awake?”

You squeak.

“No need to be so surprised. I do come and visit you from time to time, no? Either way, I’m coming in.”

He enters your room.

[08:25] “Haah...I’m surprised to see you’re out on the balcony this late at night. Were you hoping to jump to your death, perhaps? ...That would only cause extra trouble, so please refrain from doing so. Haah...The wind feels chilly. I can’t believe you would come to such a cold place when you’re already feeling unwell. Are you an idiot?”

You remain quiet.

[09:07] “...Why not say something? Like you could ask me what I’m here for? Or say you’re happy to see me!? I’m sure you’ve got plenty to say!”

You start coughing.

“Haah...There you go coughing. That’s why I warned you. You really are hopeless. ...Without me, at least. ...Listen...I didn’t come to say this or anything...Ugh!”

*Flip*

[09:44] “This. Accept it already.”

You tilt your head to the side.

“It’s an invitation to a tea party. ...For just us two.”

[10:01] “Why, you ask…!? Do I have to spell it out for you!? Consider it my way of telling you that you’re once again allowed in my presence. You will obviously attend, no? I was so kind to invite you after all. Not to mention, this might be your once-in-a-lifetime chance to make things good between us.”

You hesitate.

“...What are you doing? Hurry up and accept the invitation! Otherwise I can’t return to my room! I want to rest already! It’s almost morning after all. ...Here!”

*Flip*

You stand there dazed.

[10:51] “...Do you not want it? ...But why!? I’m trying my absolute hardest to compromise! ...Are you perhaps okay with things staying the way they are right now? ...WHY WON’T YOU SAY ANYTHING!? For one, you’re the one who caused this whole ordeal in the first place! I don’t know what your intention was, but you pestered me by going on about ‘dying’ and such!

...In reality, you should be the one apologizing to me. Begging for my mercy. Do you have any idea how I felt coming heーー”

*Rustle* 

[11:45] “...!? Hey…? Are you listening? You’ve been acting somewhat off this whole time. You seem awfully pale too...Is something the matter?”

You collapse.

*Thud*

“...!? H-Hey! Are you okay!? HEY!”

Kanato touches your skin.

“Cold as ice…!? Why, all of a sudden…!? How come…!?”

*Cling*

“This bottle...Don’t tell me…”

*Sniff*

[12:24] “Poison…? Did you drink this? Then...You were actually trying to die? But why…? …! Because I told you...you could be easily replaced?”

*Rustle*

“You can’t! Open your eyes!”

*Rustle*

[12:54] “Hang in there! I was obviously lying when I said that! Why don’t you understand!? I-I mean...To me, you’re just soーー!”

You tell him he wouldn’t believe you.

“No! You’re wrong…!! When you said you were dying, I didn’t actually disbelieve you. I justーー!”

You admit to how sad it made you.

[13:16] “Uu…It was never my intention to make you suffer either…! I just…Uu…Hic…I can’t bear the thought of it…Of a world without you…I didn’t want to believe that day would come…! That’s why I turned a blind eye to itーー! Yet…Why…Why did it turn out like this…? Hic…Say?”

*Rustle*

“Open your eyes…Wake up! …Wake up, please…!!”

*Rustle*

[14:00] “I mean…This just can’t be…No...Who…Who gave you permission to do this!?”

You have passed out.

“…Open your eyes…and say my name…Like you always would…Please! ...Uu...No...You won’t let get away with this! I won’t let this happen!! ...UWAAAAAAAAH!!!”

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) Kanato refers to the ‘carrot and stick’ method here, in which punishment and reward are alternated. 

(2) ごきげんよう is a very snobbish/high class way to greet someone. You won’t actually hear it much in modern day Japan, but some characters in anime say it 

(3) His sentence is cut off, but it’s heavily implied he wants to say something along the lines of ‘but you mean so much to me’ or ‘I love you so much’.

7:34 "...and almost bizarrely happy" okay so he's aware that it's strange

8:03 curtain is the sort of guy who very obviously peaked in high school and talks about how much he loved it way too much

8:34 "it's your associate.. she seems to have your ear, and she doesn't strike me as particularly joyful." ohhhhh, so that's his angle. I'm so glad she got out when she did

19:34 "your claim is nonsensical." "You malign a good man." And there it is.

19:55 "someone's finally at the wheel" THE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST SEASON. 'LIKE NO  ONE'S AT THE WHEEL'. SHDJFHDHJD

20:04 "you sound like someone who could, frankly, use some time in dr curtains program" that's fucking terrifying

20:06 "compulsory or not" that's fucking terrifying

21:30 oh. Okay 🤪

21:57 he is learning so much from Miss Perumal. I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO MUCH

22:40 the pearl can just be taken out of the shell like that? What's kept it from falling out up until now?

22:44 IT IS THE GLOBE AFTER ALL 😭😭😭

22:57 off to Germany then, but that's incredibly vague

23:17 "Curtains men could show up any second" damn right they could

23:21 speak of the devil and he shall appear

23:24 oooh and theres a couple of them now!!! Exciting

23:32 *breath* "I'd like a receipt please" why did that make me laugh

23:38 okay but what the fuck is happening

23:41 "hnnnng what's happening?" GSHAHHAHA MY QUESTION EXACTLY DUDE

23:48 *walking in aimless circles giggling* this is me when I'm drunk

23:53 oh my god she did come back I KNEW SHE WOULD BREAK OUT JUST TO BREAK BACK IN

24:01 poor number two 🥺 she looks so freaked out.

24:01 Someone please give this woman a hug and some anxiety medication

24:11 the pure euphoria in "my brother has pie trucks?? :D"

24:23 "they're ALL cult of Curtain" okay but cult of Curtain is a great way to describe this

24:23 I really hope his cringe isnt for her wording even though I totally know it is WHEN WILL THE OTHER SHOE DROP

24:47 "what's there to smile about" kinda rude but yeah he's literally giggling at her

24:49 HIM TRYING TO BE SERIOUS AND FAILING 💀

24:54 that eye narrow. She knows.

25:01 "and of course our current status" "kidnapped. Status: kidnapped." She is the sole voice of reason

25:05 THAT EYE WIDEN. SHE KNOWS.

25:09 the quiet "oh no" GOOD LORD THE QUIET REALIZATION. There has to be at least one fic that will be written about this scene alone.

25:33 "this incredible newfound joy is not going to influence my ability to do what is right" okay two things:

1. I do not believe you

2. It will stop you if your body shuts the fuck down??? I mean they dont know about that but still

25:39 SHE HAS HER HEAD IN HER HANDS. SHE COULDNT BE MORE STRESSED

26:25 "there's no conventional reason for this, this... vacancy" okay the word vacancy makes it seem one thousand times more sinister holy shit

26:29 oh good lord another one

26:29 also I'm pretty sure this shot is the one from the trailer, we all thought it was that prof from season 1

26:58 "kate, do you have a pen?" "Do I have a pen?" The SASS

27:18 PALINDROME, GERMANY. 10/10.

27:24 her visible disappointment that there is no city specifically named Palindrome has me giggling

27:50 PLAN SHAKE AND BAKE 😂😂

28:00 noooo no no no the adults got there just barely too late. AGAIN.

28:11 at least the kids will actually have tickets this time, it's a lot harder to hide on a train

28:17 watch that be some random passenger with her hair like that

28:24 called it

28:32 okay she looks so precious in that yellow coat. So freaking cute

28:40 NOTHING but air hahahaha

28:43 well shit, the polo team is a problem. It's like I said earlier, it's a lot harder to hide on a train

28:55 oh shit, they arent working with the greys? Or maybe Curtain did plant them and the two parties just dont know each other?

28:58 okay gang maybe stop shoving your faces in the very visible window

29:13 "disgrace to the sport." the pure DISDAIN

29:29 "couple of broken ribs, maybe a dislocated shoulder, but we'd live!" Why do I have the feeling these are injuries someone will attain

29:39 STOP I WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON CONSTANCE AND STICKY'S EXCHANGE BUT I PAUSED ON A GOLDEN SCREENCAP 😂😂😂 HOLD UP

look at that FACE

30:01 she looks like such a gremlin holding the whistle like that 😂

30:06 AWWWW Reynie fell asleep on him 🥺

30:14 what's on your mind bb boy, it's not your shift but you're wide awake

30:22 daaamn. that time of night is that time where it could be super late or super early, depending how you look at it

30:30 "you haven't slept. Why not?" A valid ass question

30:50 "you havent prepared yourself" valid! He needed the rest to be alert enough to keep watch

31:19 oh now he's sleepy. I can relate though- I used to work shifts in that late/early time of night while I was in college, and I would never be able to get to sleep before my shifts, but I would be dead tired while I was supposed to be working. It's a vicious cycle

31:31 okay the fact that it faded out and faded back in so many times makes me think either the rest of them were taken, or that their situation is drastically more dangerous somehow

31:59 NO NO NO NO NO

31:59 WHERE IS SHE. WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BABY GIRL

32:12 DAMNIT. of COURSE they would end it there.

Part of me thinks that Constance will be in the bathroom or something super mundane, and she'll have some snarky remark about how she can handle herself. Every other part of me is thinking the obvious, implied, and very unfortunate circumstance 🥴

What a fantastic episode. I cant wait to think about it for the next 3 days straight.

I can literally see this Catholic German journalist (well-meaning and open-minded from what I could gather, but you know) googleing "schöner Priester" to make his point about priests being the backbones of the church in this meme. No one tell him that this is a gay Irish actor who has a rather complicated relationship with the faith and the character is about to break his vows!

I have seen that tiktok on a bunch of different sources now and while I agree with the main point (some “in my Fleabag era” posts really brush over or even glorify mental illness and unhealthy behaviour) and hence won’t link the video here, I am still sure that neither the ill-advised “in my Fleabag era” posters nor the girl in the video have actually watched the show, beyond some clips or gifsets.

Fleabag does not glorify its protagonist nor her bad decisions.

Yes, the media LAUNCHED itself at the promiscuity and the raunchiness and yes, it literally starts with an elaborate and dirty anal joke. But like I’ve never said in the essay I will definitely post one day on how comparing Fleabag to that other brilliant show by the other highly lauded female British show runner makes no sense since they’re fundamentally different in many important aspects and yet people still kept doing it in the tag all the time which led me to block a ton of mofos: The beauty of the first season of Fleabag is that it pretends to be one of those cheeky, funny, troubled-but-nice girl shows for like two minutes, then the cracks start coming in.

Her whole speech on sex while she’s on the toilet? Yes, it’s delivered with a smile and a wink, nudge-nudge haha, look at the funny woman talking about sex so frankly, but actually listen to what she says and tell me that this is meant to be healthy in any way. By the time the big reveal hits at the end of the first episode, it should be clear that this isn’t really a comedy. I’ve been a bit slow on it too, other people figured out what the scenes with Boo were quicker, but at that point the latest it breaks with the typical format.

I’ve been saying this a lot, but Fleabag Season 1 isn’t a comedy, it’s a very funny tragedy. She does a ton of fucked-up things and they eventually catch up to her and ruin her. This may be relatable af, but it’s not something to model your life after nor does the show say it is. Fleabag is deeply flawed and the show never pretends otherwise. Season 2 is about partially fixing these flaws, about building yourself up again and learning to deal with things you cannot change anymore and how life and love goes on.

Quite a few people who joke about being “in their Fleabag era” understood that and their posts are meant to be read this way. Others didn’t and I think it’s fair to point that out, but it’s not the show’s fault. Fleabag’s failures aren’t shown as something you’d want to experience, nor as something light and cool.

[dynyamight]

meet cute number 47 is interesting!

send me a writting ask

47. Texting the incorrect number but continuing the conversation.

“You got all that, right?” Shinsou asks, readjusting his stance, so others can leave their classroom door easily.

Midoriya hums absentmindedly. He’s still quickly jotting down the last few digits onto his planner. “And, you said tomorrow morning, around 7? At the library?”

“Yeah,” Shinsou shrugs, “Or anytime really. The deadline isn’t until next month, you know.”

“I kinda just want to get it done, as soon as possible.”

Shinsou breathes out a snort. “Figured you’d say that much. Just make sure you got my number. Repeat it, if you need to.”

“No time.” Midoriya drops his bag to the side, shoving his now closed notebook inside. “Thank you! I’ll text you later tonight!” He offers hurriedly, before taking off down the campus halls.

Shinsou’s warning falls deaf to his rushed mind.

He has to run the entire way, in order to graciously catch the last bus for the hour. Sweaty and flushed, Midoriya slumps into his seat in relief. Fortunately, he was able to cop a seat for himself, settling by the window and his backpack right next to him.

Staring out, Midoriya tries to remind himself of the rest of his priorities he needed to do.

He still needed to start on Doctor Chiyo’s online Physiology exam, and gather his notes for the open book portion. It was a bit bothersome to handle tests online, but if the rest of class prefers it, there’s nothing Midoriya can do about it.

Speaking of which, Ochako had requested for copies of those exact same notes, since apparently she barely writes anything during lectures. He wants to suggest to her to just simply take better notes, but alas, he will gladly help her out.

And, finally, Midoriya has to collect reliable, approved research articles for his and Shinsou’s debate, in their argumentative project in Communications. Being assigned “PRO SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE”, while being the most uninvolved people on the internet, Midoriya and Shinsou had a lot of work to do.

Not to mention it was already 18:00 by the time he reached the school’s dormitories. And yet, he needed to shower, make dinner, water his plants, and watch the newest episode of his favorite drama, airing tonight.

University was eating him alive.

Thankfully, he’s able to complete half of his list.

He finishes the exam with a 98%, and quickly snaps the pages of his notes over to Ochako and Iida, making sure to highlight the main topics questioned in the exam. Ochako sends a ‘thank you’ gif, and Iida texts a long, yet endearing message of gratitude.

Midoriya doesn’t have time to shower, instead blasting the TV volume loud, as he waters his indoor plants at the same time. He overwaters them a little bit, busy glancing back at the screen for too long. But, at least he’s able to watch the episode. He pouts when it ends on a cliffhanger, almost drowning his bonsai tree in frustration.

He’s only able to warm up a plate of leftovers, and read through only one research article, by the time it’s already blinking 21:30 on his phone. Sighing, Midoriya closes his laptop and grabs his cell phone instead.

An all nighter wasn’t preferable. But, if Shinsou is working overtime at his late night job, Midoriya supposes he can stay up and keep looking through more articles, until he has at least the required ten.

Flipping open his planner, Midoriya inputs Shinsou’s number into his phone. He adds his name, a contact photo of him sleeping, and finally taps a quick message.

(21:38) < You working?

When Shinsou doesn’t respond right away, Midoriya simply sets aside his phone on his desk. Stretching his arms, he sighs in defeat, now expecting Shinsou to be stuck at work.

He’s never worked at a restaurant, but he bets Friday nights can get pretty busy. And, Shinsou always complains that group outings and dates tend to stay over, even after the place is supposed to close. And, Midoriya trusts his word.

So, by the time his phone dings, Midoriya has been clicking through more articles on social media, bookmarking a few to go over later, as he went.

He lifts his phone, and with a bright screen, a message stares back at him.

shinsou hitoshi (21:58) > Who’s this

Oh, he did forget to specify. But, Midoriya smiles, having a small prank in mind. There was no harm in teasing his friends, let alone Shinsou, who definitely needed a good laugh, now and then.

(21:58) < It's the cutie from your communications class ;)

shinsou hitoshi (21:58) > So, no one

(21:59) < Haha! I guess you’re right about that

(21:59) < Anyways, it’s Izuku! You still working late, Hitoshi?

shinsou hitoshi (21:59) > This ain’t Hitoshi

Midoriya's face drops, blinking. Oh god, did he mistype the number?

(21:38) < Wait, you’re not???

Another text pops up, shortly after.

shinsou hitoshi (22:02) > You got the wrong number

Embarrassment burning his entire face red, Midoriya wishes he could delete himself from the world.

(22:03) < I’m so so so so sorry!

(22:03) < God, I thought I wrote down my friend’s number right

(22:03) < But, I was in this stupid rush to get on the bus that I didn’t make sure

(22:04) < And, listen, if I had missed that bus, I would’ve had to wait

(22:04) < Not like a few minutes wait

(22:04) < Like, a whole two hours wait!

shinsou hitoshi (22:05) > I didn’t ask

Deleting the conversation, Midoriya erases the new contact completely. And instead, he looks back to his planner, and retypes the numbers in his phone onto a new conversation.

Hopefully, he has typed the correct series of digits.

(22:07) < Hey, Hitoshi! It’s Izuku

unknown (22:08) > ...

unknown (22:08) > What the actual fuck

unknown (22:08) > You've still got the wrong number, you goddamn idiot

Slamming his phone onto his desk, Midoriya grabs a pillow off his bed and shoves it in his face. The temptation to scream sounds awfully pleasant, but it’s too late at night to do so. His dorm neighbors would definitely wonder what the hell is wrong with him.

What’s wrong? Oh, he has completely done one of the most dreaded imaginary scenarios in his head; text a complete stranger. Twice.

What was he supposed to do now? Never text back? Delete it? Block it?

How is he supposed to contact Shinsou now?

His phone dings again.

Lifting the pillow off his face slightly, Midoriya eyes his phone warily from his swivel chair.

That definitely wasn’t supposed to happen. Another text from the same stranger sounds a bit unheard of.

After a seconds-long hesitation, Midoriya lifts his phone and opens it once more.

unknown (22:13) > Double check next time

unknown (22:13) > You can fucking wait the two hours, dumbass

Midoriya grows a little irked. He has a bad feeling that his stranger isn’t too friendly, to say that least.

There was literally no reason to text back something so rude.

(22:14) < Well, that wasn’t nice

unknown (22:15) > Wasn’t trying to be

(22:15) < ..Are you always like this?

unknown (22:16) > Pretty much

(22:16) < That’s sad

unknown (22:17) > What’s fucking sad is that I was woken up from my sleep

unknown (22:17) > Because a damn moron didn’t write down the right number

Midoriya winces. He hadn’t even thought about the other person’s predicament, let alone if he had interrupted anything.

(22:20) > I really didn’t mean to do that, I’m sorry :(

unknown (22:22) > Yeah whatever

(22:24) > You should try to go back to sleep, then

unknown (22:25) > I was

unknown (22:25) > But the same moron from before keeps texting me

(22:27) > Who?

(22:33) > Oh.

(22:33) > It’s me, huh?

unknown (22:34) > No shit

(22:35) > Right, of course. My bad!

(22:35) > I’m going to just stop now

unknown (22:36) > Thanks

(22:36) > For the umpteenth time, sorry! ><

(22:37) > Okay, Okay! I’m stopping now, for real

Midoriya desperately needs to call it a night.

After going through his nightly routine, he slips under his bedsheets, exhausted. He sets an alarm for 5:00 on his phone, hoping Shinsou will show up at the library, regardless of the missing confirmation text on Midoriya’s end.

He keeps his phone on awhile longer, swiping through his professors’ emails, before a surprising text notification pops in front of him.

unknown (23:01) > FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

(23:02) > …

(23:02) > What was that for??

unknown (23:04) > I CAN’T SLEEP

unknown (23:04) > GOD, I CAN’T GO BACK TO FUCKING SLEEP

unknown (23:05) > AND IT’S YOUR FAULT

(23:06) > What do you expect me to do????

unknown (23:07) > HAHAHAHA OH DON’T WORRY

unknown (23:07) > IF I CAN’T SLEEP, NEITHER CAN YOU

unknown (23:08) > AND IF YOU TURN YOUR PHONE OFF I WILL SEND HELLFIRE

(23:09) > Wait

(23:09) > No, please

(23:09) > My alarm is on my phone, I need it on

(23:10) > I need to go to an important meeting for a group project at 7:00!

unknown (23:10) > Aw, really? :0?!

(23:11) > Yeah! I really do!

unknown (23:11) > Sike. I don’t fucking care

unknown (23:12) > Hope you eat shit tomorrow

(23:13) > ..Why are you like this?

(23:13) > I could literally be a twelve year old, for all you know

unknown (23:14) > I doubt fucking twelve years do group projects

unknown (23:15) > But whether you’re a damn infant, or grown adult, I hate you

(23:16) > I wouldn’t say I hate you. That’s too harsh

(23:16) > But, wow, you are very unlikable :/

unknown (23:17) > That’s the fucking nicest thing anyone has said about me

(23:18) > It wasn’t supposed

(23:19) > Nevermind.

(23:19) > Do you have any friends? Just might as well ask

unknown (23:21) > Surprisingly yeah

(23:22) > Oh, so you also agree. That it’s a surprise

(23:22) > At least you’re self aware :0

unknown (23:23) > Yeah, they are annoying as hell

unknown (23:24) > But, also pretty good people, I guess

(23:25) > Pretty good or pretty dumb?

unknown (23:26) > SHUT IT

unknown (23:27) > Only I can make fun of them

unknown (23:27) > You. Don’t.

(23:28) > You’re right, I shouldn’t have said that

(23:29) > I’m sorry :(

unknown (23:30) > You like apologizing, huh

(23:29) > There’s a lot to apologize for tonight

unknown (23:30) > Still, you don’t have to say it every damn minute

(23:32) > You probably don’t ever apologize

unknown (23:33) > Fuck no

(23:35) > Right, of course

(23:36) > Well, you know what I need to do tomorrow

unknown (23:37) > Unfortunately

(23:38) > What about you?

unknown (23:39) > I’m covering a shift at my shit job at the ass crack of dawn

(23:40) > Unnecessary visual, but I digress

(23:40) > Uh, where do you work?

unknown (23:42) > No. I don’t even know your damn name

(23:43) > I told you?? It was in my first text

unknown (23:44) > Yeah, I ain’t scrolling

(23:48) > Well, it’s Izuku. Midoriya Izuku :)

unknown (23:49) > Great. I still ain’t giving you mine

(23:50) > ?? Is there anything I can know about you??

(23:50) > You know more about me, than I do about you

unknown (23:51) > You know I hate you

unknown (23:51) > That’s plenty

(23:52) > But, I have been staying up for you :(

unknown (23:53) > Because it’s your fault I can’t sleep

(23:54) > You aren’t feeling sleepy yet?

unknown (23:56) > ..Are you

(23:57) > I asked you first

unknown (23:58) > I asked you second

(23:59) > That

(23:59) > Look, it’s almost midnight

(24:00) > Oh, now, it’s actually midnight

unknown (00:01) > I have fucking eyes. I can see the time

(00:02) > And we BOTH have places to be tomorrow

(00:02) > So, let’s just sleep. Call a truce, please

unknown (00:03) > What about my petty retribution

(00:04) > PLEASE LET ME SLEEP

unknown (00:10) > FUCK

unknown (00:10) > FINE

unknown (00:11) > I STILL CAN’T SLEEP BUT WHATEVER

unknown (00:12) > HOPE YOU FUCKING OVERSLEEP TOMORROW

The rest of the night, Midoriya hears his phone go off, but he doesn’t bother to open the messages. Fortunately for him, the time staying awake quickly catches up to his body, the moment he shuts his eyes. And, in an instant, he falls asleep, heavy.

However, he’s jolted awake by the ringing of his phone, the tone alerting him of an incoming phone call. Banging his head on the headboard, Midoriya blindly grabs and answers his phone. “Uh, H-Hello?” He blurts quickly.

“Tch.” A low voice emits, “You owe me, Deku.”

Click. The phone call ends.

Confused, Midoriya hurriedly rubs his eyes open. Running his messy curls through his fingers, he lifts his bangs up, in order to correctly look at the time.

The time was 5:10. And, his 5:00 alarm had been off the entire time.

And, instead, that same unknown number from last night was his saving grace.
