#WHYD YOU MAKE IT SO VAGUE

[doodle17]

Just thinking about how in the art book it talked about how one of the things you'd explore in Lilis mind was her feelings towards Raz and this is all thats gonna be on my mind

[waywardsalt]

i think astrid ph is neat and im interested in doing stuff with her and, by extension, kayo, but i am also forced to think abt how they drew her in the manga when i think about her. whyd they draw her like that. shes probably resembles her game version the least of any loz manga character

[buzbu]

I’m watching ‘Ladybug and Chat Noir: Awakening’ (you can watch a really bad quality bootleg recording on most pirating sites right now), these are my reactions while I’m watching . A lot of the points won’t make sense unless you’ve seen it too I’m sorry 😭

If you don’t want to watch the movie but want a vague idea of the plot, here u go

⚠️NEW MIRACULOUS MOVIE SPOILERS⚠️

- master fu is soo dramatic

- THIS IS A MUSICAL???

- whoever the singer is for marinette sounds so noticeably different to her it is throwing me off

- the character designs are so cute

- brand placement: 1

- Adrien is brooding so hard with his headphones. I bet he’s listening to something emo

- omg gabriel agreste backstory right away

- Luka cameo

- whyd they make plagg a fart monster

- there are more than 4 background character designs this is crazy

- whyd they make gabe kinda fine

- gabes first musical number as hawkmoth is so insanely Dr Facilier

- they made him such a good villain omfg I’m actually rooting for him he’s got the whole ‘a villain who would sacrifice the world to save her’ thing going for him

- oooo they have the mime villain from season 1 (?), and they are actually showing how op his power is. He could create literally anything and he just made a wall and a gun, he couldve done so much more. They did him justice they made him kinda fine too very Danny Bailey from Schmigadoon

- chat noir calling himself a sidekick is my villain origin story

- didn’t know how much I needed an action montage with a rock cover of the miraculous ladybug song until now

- a slither of adrienette in the montage

- brand placement: 2

- I’m an hour in and chat noir hasnt called ladybug milady ONCE

- oh my god they have the play fighting trope where they end up pinning eachother against a wall this is so them

- I don’t think the songs are very movie like, the words are pronounced like radio songs so you can’t really understand what they’re saying a lot of the time without captions (I don’t have captions 💔)

- the romance feels a lil rushed. Because they spent the first half hour almost exclusively on marinette and setting up her character/insecurities/etc and all the romantic development was in a montage. Now there’s a love song and theyre in love and it feels very underdeveloped to be at this stage already

- this song is cute though I can’t make out the majority of the words but in-love ladynoir content has my heart

- no marichat so far . Waiting patiently

- they haven’t set the love square up to its full potential 💔💔

- ok nevermind they kind of have, ladybug rejected chat noir for adrien, she asked adrien out and he rejected her for ladybug. But there has been no ladybug + adrien interactions or chat noir + marinette interactions yet

- omg gabriel adrien angst omg gabe is so much less of a dislikable character, they actually gave him some depth . Adrien is full on yelling at Gabriel and gabe actually looks like he cares about his son

- this bootleg is terrible quality but even with the bad quality the quality is so obviously good

- I’ve gotten used to the marinette singing voice and now I just love it

- this movie is so dramatic with the love songs and songs about insecurities, I feel like it’s that movie ladybug made fun of in the show

- GABE AKUMATISED HIMSELF AND ITS SO COOL THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT WEIRD IPAD VILLAIN HE WAS IN THE SHOW

- adrien just said ‘the less interested you are, the more they run after you 😒’ because ladybug called him for help after she rejected him😭😭😭😭 bro rlly said all girls are the same

- idk if this bootleg is just clipped together but it keeps randomly turning french with no subtitles and it’s confusing me so much. I don’t know french, why must they be in paris

- these boss fights are so well animated

- chat noir is so bitter god damn

- ladynoir angst but it’s actually high stakes im loving this

- LADYBUG SAVE YOUR CAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING

- SHE LET HIM FALL WHAT

- gabe just turned the water they fell in into lava this is crazy

- they just turned french again I have no idea what they’re saying

- MARINETTE / HAWKMOTH SHOWDOWN

- nevermind

- I’m sorry marinette would pick this dialogue to shreds it’s so corny

- GOT THE TINIEST SLITHER OF MARICHAT I AM HAPPY

- YES YES YES GABRIEL FORCED TO FACE THE FACT THAT ADRIEN IS CHAT NOIR

- HES SELF REFLECTING!!! REALISING EVERYTHING HE DID WAS INSANE AND HURT ADRIEN WHEN HE TOLD HIMSELF HE WAS HELPING HIM. THIS IS WHAT THE SEASON 5 FINALE SHOULDVE BEEN

- THIS IS PERFECT

- this is what ppl wanted for the show . adrien being resentful at first, Gabriel hit in the face with his own guilt and mistakes, having a genuine moment of self reflection, adrien forgiving him and gabe changing instead of getting his wish and being remembered as a hero, plus all of paris finding out hawkmoth was Gabriel, etc. I love this

- brand placement: 3

- omg there’s a masquerade ball everyone looks so good

- so marinette knows that adrien is chat noir but he doesn’t know shes ladybug yet ? That better change in the next 2 minutes

- HE KNOWS!

- marinette is so pretty I’m actually so happy with this

- OHHHH NATALIE VILLAIN ARC ????

- oh theyre talking in french again I have no idea what this ending means

FINAL THOUGHTS!

obvs it isn’t canon but I love this adaptation. The superpowers are portrayed as powerful as they actually are, there’s more drama and angst which I needed, the timeline is VERY different to the show. Marinette stands up for herself to chloe the same day that ladybug and chat noir reveal their identities, so it’s like the origins episode of season 1 mixed with one of the various identity reveals from season 4. Also she’s not friends with any of her class other than alya, adrien and nino, so it’s also kind of pre-origins vibes. Idk, it was really good and I can’t wait to watch it in better quality, with captions, and without ads playing every half hour

Also I’m forever thankful that there was no lila rossi storyline

[jackass-jones]

i feel like ken opinion has sifted so like. now hating him may in fact be the unpopular rather than the popular. but if ken hate is still the popular opinion would love to hear ur positive or, if ken appreciation is popular now. p3p theme appreication in contrast to other p3 games? i feel THATS unpopular tbh i may have misunderstood the prompt my brain is jelly

Ken has pretty mixed reviews I think so it’s hard to say if it’s an unpopular opinion to like him. In general I avoid any hate of Ken and just associate with the girlies who are nice to him. BUT I still wanna talk about how much I love Ken anyways so I’ll just answer both parts of this ask 🏂

Kens relationship with Shinji and his specific theories on what happened to his mother vary in each different version of p3 but I’m very much a fan of versions like the movie where the two of them have a sweet bond before Ken learns the truth. Like Ken looking up to shinji and seeing him as just the nicest and coolest guy ever is really cute and the way he nervously asks if Shinji wants to go to the summer festival with him is also so fucking cute. And Shinji feels a mix of shit like obvious guilt and a fear of being too close to Ken but also he’s so fucking protective of Ken too and just wants the kid to be happy and safe and like Shinji is just the kinda guy who’d have a massive soft spot for kids so he definitely would have a soft spot for Ken. But hnnghh I’m not here to talk about that! So yeah I think Ken loves Shinji a lot but then when he discovers the truth everything becomes really fucking complicated. There’s this really good moment in the movie where right before October 4th Ken is taking care of the fish Shinji won for him at the fair (WHICH IS SO CUTE) and he starts crying and is like ���of all people, whyd it have to be you?” Which makes me sob so I love like. Ken has known for some time that there was some unnatural bullshit with his mothers death and that she was killed, but he’s been completely invalidated by the police and really any adult he’s tried telling this to. So he just becomes more and more resentful because no one ever takes him seriously and he KNOWS what he saw so he takes it upon himself to reveal the truth and get revenge. His idea of revenge is like a vague idea that just kinda spirals I’d say like he definitely thinks his mom was murdered in an intentional and malicious way so it’s easy to hate her killer and it’s easy to want to kill them. But then when he realizes it’s Shinji it throws him for a loop cuz he loves Shinji and while their time together has been short, he’s a good guy like yeah he’s intimidating and isn’t in control of his persona or his emotions but the idea of him being a murderer is really hard to believe. But Ken has been building this idea in his head for so long and he’s so young and has been told everything is black and white so he tries to carry out his plan anyways. AND THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL BELIEF but if they hadn’t been interrupted I genuinely don’t think Ken would’ve been able to kill Shinji. I think he would’ve been standing there shaking and sweating like IM GONNA DO IT IM GONNA GET YOU but he doesn’t move at most he would injure Shinji but he wouldn’t kill him. He isn’t in his right mind and his worldview is shattering I think he could’ve been talked out of it cuz he’s a good kid man and he was very clearly hesitant

So yeah I love his relationship with shinji and his rage that comes from grief and invalidation, he really does just need a fucking hug. And I love how sweet he is how much he cares about the others and how like. He really is just 10 years old and you just wanna get him outta there lol like he should not be fighting shadows he should be playing shadow the hedgehog 😭

And my ass is always here to appreciate p3p and its themes like oh my godddd AAAAAA. Anyone who says Kotone goes against the theme of the game is just like. Stupid? And misogynistic obviously. Cuz i really truly don’t see how??? Like genuinely don’t know how that conclusion can be reached other than misogynistic nonsense. I love Kotone she’s a very good protagonist I’d say what really makes her work for me in contrast with the other protagonists is like. She isn’t some sorta Perfect Ideal Man for the straight men playing to project onto like just by being a girl they kinda had to throw that idea out the window lol and she’s just like silly and goofy, she isn’t this perfect amazing mold she’s just chilling. And I also obviously like her cuz yay female protagonist lol

I think Kotone brings out the best in the team like portables version of the characters is the ideal way of experiencing them like they’re so so good and i really really felt like everyone loved and cared for each other cuz that’s a problem that persona games have imo (in 4 UGHHH they all just like treated each other horribly and everyone acts like they’re such great friends and I’m like. What game did you play sir). And obviously her social links are leagues better like why would I want the alternative like hello Akihiko and Shinji are literally the stars and the moon that’s so fucking good and I can hang out with Ken and a dog and a cool librarian girl. I’ll say the romance options are pretty shit but guys honestly, persona romance routes have never really been GOOD

Then I guess the big controversy, the pocket watch coma route, I’ve gone on record pretty much every goddamn day voicing my love for this aspect of the game like. It’s all the same; Shinji is deeply suicidal and literally dies thinking he deserves it, his death being “necessary” for the theme to work is such a slap in the face to me like it comes off as either Shinji dying was meant to be a lesson to the audience to not live like him cuz that’d be wasting your life which is, really shitty and inconsiderate like good god I think being depressed because you can’t control your emotions and you accidentally killed a woman when you were 16 is pretty justified i dont think you can just “move on” from that. The alternative is his death is supposed to be this tragedy that the player must overcome because they’re trying to say that death happens and you lose people and it sucks but that doesn’t mean life isn’t worth living which. First off, literally all these characters have already lost someone important to them so killing off Shinji is completely unnecessary and second uh. I feel like if that’s the lesson you wanna teach, shouldn’t Shinji be like the ideal character to teach it to??? And like I’ve said this many times but it’s really hard for me to feel good about this games themes when the character whose struggles i related to most apparently needed to die for the message to work like. Thanks for that 😞. I don’t think you have to avoid ever writing suicide or like bad things happening to suicidal characters but this specific instance was just. Oh it was so bad I hate it so much I refuse to play any version of this game where Shinji dies I refuse.

So uh basically when he gets to live, specifically through the power of friendship, it means so much to me. It’s a good way of showing how simple acts of kindness can go a long way and we keep each other alive by being loving to one another and taking care of each other and that’s what life’s all about. And I like optimism and love being used to show life is worth living cuz that’s way more effective in making me want to live than some fear mongering shit. So yeah I’m clinging onto Shinji getting to live for dear life it’s actually so so important to me that someone like him get a chance to realize he’s worth something and he deserves to be alive and happy and he can get there one day. Makes me feel less hopeless 🥰

And I’ll just leave with this: the most important thing in the world is in the stage play when Shinji wakes up from his coma Ken gives him a massive hug and I cry and I sob and I die

[suckishima]

just got back from seeing it again with the crunchyroll subs!!

i enjoyed it much more this time! 1 the audience was much bigger (i saw literally one of the last days of eng subs in japan so there was like 2 other people there lol) so it was great to hear everyone laughing along with all the humor n stuff, and to hear people all talking about it afterwords, 2 the subtitles overall were more accurate and cohesive so that was good, and 3 just having seen it already and knowing which beats they were gonna focus on helped me to reframe the narrative in my mind of how they wanted/were able to portray the story in the runtime they had, rather than just me hoping to see specific parts

i could tell this time that whoever did the subs had actually seen haikyuu before bc certain lines and callbacks were referential of the original n stuff (if that makes sense lol)

but also, there were a few noticeable changes to the subs. they completely changed the "let's devour every last scrap off their bones" line from the manga to... "let's make a mess" LMAO which, if you couldnt guess, is a far less superior translation imo. and even though i dont know nearly enough japanese to know which one is technically more accurate, i do know that the devouring idea fits a whole lot more with the eating/hunger/omnivore themes of haikyuu and this movie in particular with cats v crows so, kinda hoping that'll get changed back to match the manga during streaming

and then i mentioned in my original post about there being new lines from kenma saying something like 'hinata has kageyama and i have kuroo' with hinata/kageyama practicing in the background while kenma rests and then when kenma says kuroos name it cuts to kuroo holding out his hand to help kenma stand up (i was vague about the visuals previously but w/e), yeah, thats not how its translated in the US crunchyroll version AT ALL. its just like, kenma talking more about how he feels about volleyball. no mentions of hinata, kageyama, or kuroo, it was kind of odd, felt like an entirely different sequence because of it and im wondering why they changed it. ive seen from people on twitter (kseniya @ triananero) who watches in og japanese no subs at all that in japanese the lines ARE kenma comparing the hinata/kageyama dynamic to his and kuroos so like. whyd they change it for US release?

smaller but notable to me lol is that tsukkis "hes always one step ahead of me" or "hes a man who walks ahead of me" was translated as "he's going to surpass me" which. very minor but i dont like it quuiiite as much as either of the manga translations bc it implies future rather that present or perpetual. like the whole point is that yamaguchi surpassed tsukki in coolness a long time ago, not that hes gonna do it right now. anyway lol that isnt a big deal, and im nitpicking i know

that whole moment gave me chills anyway, esp with the (s2??) music coming in once yamaguchi steps onto the court, so i really shouldnt complain haha

my gripes with the high five from the first watch still stand too, i wish it had more emphasis, and i DID pay attention to the flashback snapshots in their silhouettes this time and theyre there but... theyre drawn kinda meh....

im so torn about the chp 298 stuff haha bc it starts SUPER strong, its really really good when yamaguchi enters and his first two serves, but it kinda fizzles after that and i still wish tsukkis first smile in the match had more emphasis. the second one later during the 'master and student 2' sequence tho is great!! and the animation for the whole rally where its focused on tsukki and kuroo is siiiiiiiiick, probably my favorite rally of the match other than the pov sequence at the end (i want to make gifs nowwww)

moving on, theres this little bit where kuroo says something like 'may chibi-chan always be in good health" in reference to hinata being good motivation for kenma, and skjdhks idk what that line is in the manga originally but it got a good laugh out of me and i liked that change a lot

i forgot how feral suga is in this match lmao, it was really fun to hear the audience i was with consistently laugh whenever he was like screaming things lol

like every single joke landed for the theater i was in too, it was great. tendou just showed up on screen and someone gasped loll, and then everyone proceeded to laugh at every thing he said, as it should be

"what exactly is wrong with your no.10 over there" "sorry im not sure myself" was spot on perfect too, loved it

overall i had a good time!! for 1h25m its probably the best it could be, and i really appreciate how many little things they did manage to get in to the runtime

okay so i know i posted a few weeks ago that i did get to see the haikyuu movie when i was in japan last month and ive been so busy i didnt fully have time to process lol so ive been writing down thoughts as i remember them so, spoilers under the cut (no particular order)

final rally pov shot was craaaaazyyy (sidenote i saw challengers today lmao and they did a similar pov shot thing a couple times and it reminded me how sick it was to see such a complicated thing be animated)

in addition to that tho, while i liked the drop of the music then to just have it be kenmas breathing, i felt lie his breathing seemed a little repetitive?? like it was possibly just the same couple voice recordings repeated???

and also tbh.. i kinda didnt love how after the super amazing pov animation the way they chose to animate the full court flashback to tokyo training camp was just like a flat pan around the room. it just didnt feel all that dynamic after seeing something so cool, and maybe it was just my screening but the image was kinda blurry and not that crisp at that part

in general tho i thought the sound design was really cool, so much of it just straight up felt like a live match happening, and the part when kenma tells hinata to stay interesting and the sound cuts out?? ooo v effective i thought

and then the birdcaaaage aaaah i loved the way the wings like got all stifled in the cage when kenma first trapped him and then ofc the bursting out of it oooo im excited to see it again in imax

there were a tonnnn of small moments that i assumed wouldnt make the cut that actually did too, yaku sitting on lev's back when he's doing pushups, the bokuto/kuroo hair swap flashback lmaooo, goshiki having to share his ipad with tendou (i cant remember for sure now if he actually says that or not but theyre definitely in the movie), bokuto and akaashi coming over and talking to yachi and ah i think theres more. a lot of them were shortened down a bit, but i appreciated them getting attention nonetheless. sadly no kuroo/lev poop conversation though lmaoo

i thought the kuroo/kenma flashbacks were pretty good as well, i think they possibly added a few lines?? it seemed like there were more frames of stuff of kuroo being inspired by the "lowering the net" concept which was really cool bc thats really integral to his character to me. and then theres this line where kenma is like "hinata has kageyama and i have kuroo" and uhhhh that is news to me!! im like 90% thats new content lmao, and oooo it was good, the shots they chose with it too gooood

oh for some reason they changed how kenma flops??? he falls with his butt up in the air instead of just flat??? like why lmao, obviously that was like an Actual Choice they made bc they had to draw it and obviously had the manga as reference and it makes no difference other than to confuse me lolll

im interested to see it again distributed by crunchyroll too bc im sure some of the subs i saw werent right, a few lines just didnt make sense and there were a few instances of like "lead blocking"

and okay. i gotta talk about the chapter 298 stuff

its there its in the movie!! but,, it's watered down lmao

and i think i was also too in my head and overanalyzing it which im disappointed in myself for so im hoping on rewatch ill have a better time

the "hes always been one step ahead of me after all" was like as perfect as it could get tbh, it looks just like the manga and tsukki like says it just right and yamaguchi comes onto the court behind him totally focused and aaah really loved it. then the service ace and tsukkis little laugh it really good

but then i'm torn on the actual serve and block, there's no inner thoughts on yamaguchis "oh no the ball isnt drifting enough" and then tsukkis silent reply "no that was plenty" before stuffing it, so we arent hearing their like mind reading/intuition connection there which was a bummer. and thennnn im not positive on this bit but i dont think anyone repeats anything about the serve and block being the perfect play?? (its yamaguchi echoing ukai in the manga) and then no little flashbacks to how theyve been training

HOWEVER the big main flashbacks of seeing how yamaguchi walks from behind tsukki to in front of him are there!!! and the way theyre presented is interesting? i was like taken aback by the decision to have the clips being showed within their silhouettes as they move toward each other (i couldnt even tell thats what it was at first tbh..) that i missed whether or not all the panels were in it..... (majorly disappointed in myself for that one). idk visually i found it a little confusing i guess and so i couldnt fully appreciate and im hoping itll look cool on rewatch when i understand whats happening

and then the high five ahhh it was pretty good, idk if anything will ever live up to that manga panel for me, the joy and success and sense of achievement in that image means so much to me lol, but its animated fairly well. do wish they didnt cover tsukkis smile tho

then kuroo asks how tsukki feels about volleyball and he says its fun and he smiles and its.. fine. like ugh its just one of those things were this entiiiire section just slightly suffered from being a two minute segment of a movie instead of a whole episode (or even just half an episode tbh), like something about his smile and saying it was fun just fell a little flat for me and i was unfortunately a little sad about it, i was hoping for a little more buildup and like emphasis. this is a huuuuge culminating moment for him and it didnt quite feel like it to me bc the movie had to have other priorities where a season wouldnt have

later one when tsukki and kuroo are like battling at the net exhausted tho and tsukki smiles again that was pretty good, the animated is really top notch when theyre all panting n stuff, and the voice acting there was great, really liked it

[chako-chip]

does anyone else feel like fixations are treated differently depending on how "cool"/mainstream they are bc like its actually really getting to me rn

[veeveex3]

Sleepover with the Freshmen (+ Ortho)

idk I just think it'd be cute to see all the freshmen + yuu and grim have a litol slumber party, a slumbie if you will (also fun(?) fact: I've never had a slumber party before so idk why I'm making this lolol)

Time at Night Raven College is fun: you get to do alchemy, learn about history and subjects that aren't from your world, and most important of all, you got to make cool new friends! However, being that NRC is a school, it does get pretty stressful. So to cope with all the work you have on top of the work that Crowley dumps onto you, you decide to host a sleepover with all of your friends from your grade!

NRC Prefect: Hey, are you guys busy this weekend?

xXAce42069Xx: nah not rly y?

DeuceCaboose: Didn't you say we were gonna study over the weekend???

xXAce42069Xx: eh we can study after class on a weekday lol

Jack H.: You wanna do anything over the weekend prefect?

Epel: I can ask Vil if I can come over if we're gonna do a group study

NRC Prefect: I was thinking more we can just have a slumber party or something...

0RTH0 (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧: That sounds like fun! (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Sebek Zigvolt: I propose that we instead focus on our studies instead of shirking them for a "slumber party".

xXAce42069Xx: lmaooooo whyd you say it like that

Sebek Zigvolt: I haven't a clue what you mean, Ace.

DeuceCaboose: Have you ever been to a slumber party Sebek?

Sebek Zigvolt: No, but I vaguely know of them. That's not the point, though!

0RTH0 (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧: Now that I think about it, I don't remember having a sleepover before either! (⁠･⁠o⁠･⁠;⁠)⁠ 

Epel: I've had a couple before. They're a whole buncha fun!

Jack H.: ^ Plus if we're hanging out over the whole weekend, we can also use this time to study too

xXAce42069Xx: boring... why cant we just have a slumber party or whatever??

DeuceCaboose: Well we need to study at some point yknow

NRC Prefect: Yeah, I like that idea!

Nrc Prefect: So, is Ace the only one against this?

DeuceCaboose: Yeah

Jack H.: Probably

Epel: Yup

0RTH0 (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧: It appears so. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

Sebek Zigvolt: As long as we schedule time for our academics, I don't have much issue.

NRC Prefect: So Ace, are you with us or not?

xXAce42069Xx: fine... ig so

NRC Prefect: Great, see you guys then!

Ace Trappola:

He mainly came along so that he wouldn't have to study at Heartslabyul with Riddle

And also to spend time with his best friends but he'd never admit that

Cater lends him a couple card games so that you all can play during the sleepover

Other than that, he doesn't bring much else other than his pajamas, sleeping bag, phone, and homework (forced to bring)

His pajamas consist of a white t-shirt and some heart patterned pants

Doesn't wear socks to bed

Once everyone's in their pajamas, Ace immediately tries to distract everyone from their work

He tries to start a bunch of card games, asks for more snacks, and is the one to start a pillow fight

Once the next day comes though, everyone ignores him so they can get their work done, all to varying degrees of success

Is used to sleeping up late so he's the last person to go to bed

Sleeps all sprawled out, accidentally kicking Deuce, who's right next to him

Deuce Spade:

Deuce is genuinely excited for this little sleepover

Not only does he get to do the studying he was planning on doing anyways, but he also gets to hangout with his friends and potentially learn a bit from them!

Definitely honor student behavior

Trey asks him to give you some cookies for you all to share, as a treat

In comparison to Ace, Deuce over packs rather than under packing, likely since he's basically packing for the two of them

Deuce's pajamas are a set with a cotton shirt and shorts, both with spade patterns

Wears fuzzy navy blue socks his mom got him (won't say this in front of Ace in fear of being teased)

Deuce tries to balance his work time and fun time, but gets easily swept up in whatever shenanigans Ace is pulling

Accidentally throws a pillow too hard and ends up knocking a painting off the wall (in which he apologizes for after)

Like Ace, he's used to staying up late but tries to go to bed at a reasonable hour

Sleeps on his tummy and occasionally kicks too, mainly because Ace keeps kicking back

Jack Howl:

He's had a couple slumber parties in his youth and is honestly glad to have another with his new friends

Also wouldn't admit to it

Leona gives him some money just in case you all decide to order dinner for the sleepover

With the exception of the dinner money and some protein powder packets, he packs pretty light, only taking what he needs like toiletries and his homework

Jack wears a dark green tank top with a wolf design on the back and some striped shorts as pajamas

Also doesn't wear socks to bed but at least he covers his feet

Tries to get his work done before doing anything fun, which is hard considering he goes to bed really early

So instead he just spends the night having fun and promises to work extra hard the next day

Gets pretty sleepy from staying up past his bed time, being the first to go to sleep if it wasn't for Sebek

Sleeps curled up holding his tail and tries to hide it under his blanket

Epel Felmier:

Every month, Epel, Vil, and Rook have their own little spa day, so Epel just sees this as a less intense spa day (don't ask how a spa day can be intense they just are for Epel)

Vil gave him a couple scented tea lights to give out as thank you gifts for everyone while Rook gave a couple fashion magazines to read during the sleepover

In addition to these gifts, Epel, reluctantly, packs a lot more than he usually would due to all of the toiletries and nutrition supplements he has to take

Epel's pajamas are a light purple, fuzzy long sleeved set with has apples on the front of the shirt and on the pants pockets

Not only does Epel have matching fuzzy purple socks, he also has a fuzzy eye mask too, courtesy of Vil

More prone to playing and getting off task than some of the other boys

Has a lot of fun during the pillow fight even though he's just smacking people with a pillow

Stays up until all of the fun dies down and then tucks himself into bed

Sleeps on his side, occasionally tossing and turning

Ortho Shroud:

Given he's a robot, he thought he wouldn't be able to participate in the sleepover unlike his peers

Luckily, his friends still wanna have fun with him regardless and obviously let him come

Idia gave him a board game to play so that him and his friends don't get board (teehee)

Given that Ortho is incredibly complex, he has to pack pretty heavily for things such as his charger and any spart parts he may need

He can't really wear pajamas but has a dark blue blanket Idia made for him with small light blue flames

Probably sets aside his feet when sleeping so that they take up less space

Ortho is a good student, so he starts studying pretty quickly to get it out of the way

After that, he's able to play with his friends and launch pillows at them (gently of course)

Has a set bedtime that he has to shut down by, but since Idia stays up really late, that bedtime is also pretty late into the night

He sleeps straight on his back, using his wireless charger pad as a pillow and covering himself with his blanket

Sebek Zigvolt:

Sebek honestly isn't used to being apart from Malleus and gets embarrassingly anxious when he's apart from him and Lilia

However, the both of them encouraged him to socialize and spend time with people his age other than Silver

Malleus give him a novel to read before bed just in case he has trouble sleeping Lilia also gave him some food to share but Silver luckily took care of that

Given how overly cautious he is, Sebek over packs a lot, bringing a lot of comfort items as well as a lot more toiletries than he needs

Sebek wears very classic button up pajamas with a small lighting bolt pattern on them

Wears normal socks to bed and like Epel, has a matching eye mask with a little night cap too

The most reluctant to slack off, insisting to use this time to further their academic and magical studies

However, he gets jealous from all the fun everyone else is having and joins in under the excuse that he was already distracted

He won't admit it, but he really enjoys spending bonding time with his friends

Like Jack, he also has an early bedtime and sticks to it more than Jack does, mainly out of habit and sleepiness

He sleeps on his back holding his blanket while sleep talking surprisingly quietly

Bonus Grim!:

Didn't ask to be a part of the slumber party nor was he invited, but came anyways since the two of you are basically a buy one, get one free special

Since he's a cat monster, he doesn't wear any jammies but he does have a little blankie he sleeps with every night

You have to move him out of the living room so that everyone can get their fair share of snacks and dinner

Tries to get involved in the pillow fight but he has little fucking kitty arms so he can't really throw lol

Cuddles next to you with his blankie to sleep (which would be nice if he didn't snore so loud)

Wakes you up in the middle of the night for a sippy of water too

Hii can i request an angst fic for eddie based on 'whyd you only call me when youre high' by arctic monkeys? Fem or gn reader myb?

Why'd you only call me when you're high? [E. M]

Eddie Munson x fem!reader

A/N: I hope it's what you expected, the truth is that I just got a little inspired and gave it my own approach. And thank you very much for requesting it!<3

warnings: just angst, breakup, miscommunication, drink, weed and tobacco,

Eddie staggered against the wall, feeling his head go round and round and his feet begin to give out. To say that he was drunk was an understatement, he had drunk, smoked, and had been high on weed as if he wanted to end himself that way. Maybe it was.

Somehow he managed to make it to the couch and flopped down on it, suppressing the overwhelming urge to throw up. He looked up at the ceiling, focusing on a blurry stain that was probably damp, and tried to generate a coherent thought, but all he could think about was the very thing that caused him to get intoxicated like that in the first place; you.

It was a sick and painful cycle where he remembered you, he was miserable, he drank to forget about it and his drunken mind ended up thinking of you. Over and over again.

In some way he was able to stretch out on the worn and dirty cushions to grab the bright red corded phone (well, it had been bright red initially) and dial the phone number he already knew by heart.

"Hello?" asked the voice on the other end. You sounded hoarse and agitated, probably because you had been asleep and you had also been scared to receive a call late at night. But still your voice was as comforting and sweet as he remembered it “Is anyone there?”

“Don't hang up, please,” he murmured. From your position sitting on the mattress in your room, you could tell the state he was in and you closed your eyes momentarily.

"What do you want now?"

He still hadn't gotten used to your sharp and cruel answers, since you had always responded with a kind 'I'm glad you called, honey'

There was silence for a while. What was he going to say that he hadn't already said? Perhaps the simple fact of knowing that you were behind that white noise brought him peace. How Eddie wished he had you there, sitting on his lap while you kissed him in that way that drove him crazy.

"I am going to hang up"

"No," Eddie hastened to say. He was so lost in memories that he forgot to answer your question.

“Then tell me what you want” you insisted. You didn't even know why you kept answering those calls, it was probably just out of fear that if you didn’t, he would come to your house or end up doing something stupid.

“I wanted… to listen to you” was all he could reply, anything else would sound pathetic.

“Okay, I'll make a tape of you talking and next time you can play it on your stereo. Problem solved"

"Y/N," he murmured, his voice low and pleading. You had always loved the way he said your name, even now you did "You know what I mean"

"Oh yeah? And then what do you want me to say that are not insults? Do you want me to say that I miss you and that I can't live without you and that I'm going to forgive you for all the shit you put me through?"

Eddie fell silent. He knew you were being sarcastic but an extremely selfish part of him longed for you to mean it.

"Remember that time you stayed in the trailer because there was a storm outside?" he started to say, totally oblivious to your claims “You had that pink underwear with hearts on it that fit you damn well and one of my old shirts. And I know you hate thunder so I played a song to calm your nerves. Sometimes I still imagine you're out here, walking down the hall while you mutter to yourself that you can't find a duvet for us”

You were silent for a moment, vaguely remembering that. That time Eddie had come out of a Corroded Coffin concert and found you all soaked in the street, so he'd picked you up in his van and dropped you off at his place. It was one of the few times that there were no disagreements, it had just been the two of you and a completely domestic environment.

His eyelids felt heavy and his body ached, but he refused to go to sleep. That was the longest call he'd had with you in weeks and if he could hold you down for a little longer, he was going to do it.

"You just wanted to remind me of that?" you murmured, and although your voice hadn't stopped sounding annoyed, Eddie could sense a hint of gentleness.

“No, it was something that came up out of the blue because he was thinking about you. I always think of you"

"You're totally drunk, right?" you asked, even though you already knew the answer.

"No, no, it was just... it was some weed and maybe a beer."

"Well, it doesn't sound like that," you replied. It amazed Eddie how even from across town you could tell what he had done just by hearing his voice. "How long is this going to last?"

"What?"

“How long are you going to continue taking drugs like a madman and drinking like a bottomless barrel?” you said harshly. There was silence for a moment. “Garreth picked me up at work the other day. He says that you are inconsolable and that you consume all the shit you find and if this is some kind of plan to make me feel sorry for you, I promise you it won’t work”

“I don't know why he did that, I swear I had nothing to do with it” he murmured, closing his eyes as if he was embarrassed. And in a way he had to be, he had gotten so bad that one of his friends had to come to you "Listen, I just... I'd like to see you"

“If it's to offer me an apology, fine. If it's for anything else, I'll pass, thanks”

“Y/N, I just want to see you”

“Yes, but I can't,” you said to his repetition “And you can't ask me either. I'm sick of this game of yours where you look for me when you want something and then you completely forget about me."

"But it's not like that"

"Why’d you only call me when you're high?" you whispered. You sounded hurt and Eddie's head still felt out of this world.

"What do you mean?"

“Since we broke up, you never… you never looked for me. And I don't mean looking for me when you're totally lost like you are right now. You never asked me how I felt or if there was anything you could do to fix it. You just get high and call me to throw up all the things you never told me when you were sober. Because only then can you tell me what you really feel” he wanted to say something, but he couldn't defend himself in any way, so you continued “Even when we were together it was like that, you know? I loved sex, but... I don't know, I think you just couldn't see me as something that would last."

“No, no, it's not like that, Y/N. You're misunderstanding everything."

"Of course not. You called me, I went to your trailer, we fucked, and then we pretended to be good friends with everyone else. We flirted a little sometimes, we laughed and that was it” you stayed silent to see if he dared to say something, but again he didn't “Did you ever think that maybe I wanted a little more?”

He didn't know what to say. All the words they could say were already stuck in his throat and only tears came out of him.

"Did you ever even love me?" you spoke again and Eddie felt as if his heart was being squeezed with tweezers.

Have you even thought that? Had he really been that mean to you?

"Of course I do, why do you ask that?"

“You never said it. Not even once. I guess that's what made me imagine it” you exclaimed bitterly. He tried very hard to remember a time when he would have done so in order to refute your argument and even though he searched the furthest corners of his mind he couldn't find anything. He would have liked to blame the substances in his body on him, but he couldn't even do that. He had never told you I love you. Not even once.

“But I do. I love you” he sobbed, feeling extremely guilty at the realization he had just had. Was that why all things between you had gotten complicated? Was it because he had never said what he thought you already knew?

Eddie heard you let out a dry laugh, an almost imperceptible laugh like you were making fun of something.

“It doesn't mean anything anymore Eddie. Anything”

That was the first time that night you called him by his name and Eddie felt a tug in his chest again. He wanted to cry like a baby all night and he would.

"No, my love…"

"Do not call me that way. I'm going to get up early tomorrow, I have to hang up."

“Y/N, please. I beg you"

"I said goodbye"

Eddie didn't have time to answer, because the next thing he heard was silence and then the beep of the phone. He cursed loudly and let out a sob as he tossed the device toward God knows where, hearing the box on this thing creak with impact.

And he just stayed there, lying on the couch, crying until sleep overcame him.

[xamaxenta]

Sabo stumbles into the car with half his clothes gone and blood smearing across his knuckles and pretty much across every available surface of his skin

Marco glances at Ace whos tucked safely in the back seat, Ace meets his gaze in the rear view mirror, theyve been quietly enjoying their time together since their surprisingly chaste kiss in the locker room, Ace had been ready to get on his knees for Marco then and there but Marco had insisted that he deserved so much more

Sabo slams the door shut, “fucking teach.” He spits, wiping his bloody nose on the collar of what had once been a very nice silk button up

“Who?” Ace asks scooting over and reaching up to turn on the overhead light so he can get a better look at Sabo’s incredible black eye

Sabo tilts his head away on instinct but when he sees the vague hurt in Ace’s frown he relents and sits back so he can check for any further damage

“The guy who touched you.” Sabo mutters and Marco makes a soft huh in surprise

“Teach was there?”

“Yup. Bastard had the gall to buy his way into the vip box and then decided to mess with me.” Sabo accepts the tissue from Ace, who had been insistently waving the packet at him with increasing aggression.

“Wipe your nose.” Ace says and then drops the packet into Sabos lap in favour of searching about for antiseptic and gauze in the first aid pack he’s seemingly pulling out of thin air

“Whyd he want to mess with you?” Marco checks their perimeter briefly and starts the engine so they can finally get the fuck out of this hell hole.

“What do you mean whyd he wanna mess? Why else? I sent Burgess back to him in a bodybag last match up.” Sabo flexes his fingers, “He saw us there and assumed Ace was just some tart I’d picked up for the night—“ Sabo glances at Ace who opens his mouth but shuts it promptly when Sabo reassures him no he does not think of him as a whore

“Please tell me you didnt start a fight because of Ace.” Marco pulls their vehicle out of the alleyway and merges with the oncoming traffic seamlessly

“I did.” Sabo replies stuffily, his annoyance peaking had restarted his nosebleed. Marco sighs out Sabo’s name as if it were a particularly dirty swear.

“You didn’t have to.” Ace tries to reason and then freezes up at the icy glare Sabo levels him with, its a cold intense look hes not quite sure how to feel about. Its not an expression Sabo has ever worn around him let alone directed.

“And let him put his filthy fuckin hands on you? You dont know what this man is capable of. Other factions have been trying to dig up shit on him for years but he’s black as they come, hes got dirt on everyone fuckin snake.” Sabo leans in and allows Ace to gingerly dab iodine soaked gauze over the scrapes across his jaw.

“Politically. What Sabo means to say is we’re gonna have to show up for the next rumble.” Marco’s voice remains level but its clear how little he wants to actually do something like that.

“I can stay home, Dad’s security detail can keep watch instead.” Ace offers, unsure how else to have his two guards ease up. And its not like Rayleigh and Shakky were the worst people in the world, just. Rayleigh was kind of a pervert.

“And look like a fuckin pussy?” Sabo scoffs, “nah, its stupid to bring you again but stupider if we don’t.”

i watched a movie called Red 2 and there was a moment where one spy was shooting people and another spy was commenting on how they love how their toes curled right before shooting and i feel like this fits MAS

Oh. Thats a Marcosabo conversation right there

Marco being the one shooting, he has no big emotions on what he has to do for the mission

Sabo loves the adrenaline toe curling thing

And then their new mission arrives in the form of some bigwig business tycoon’s beautiful son, Ace

[a-very-tired-raven]

Hello there! I just read your Swatch x Reader headcanons and was wondering Could i possibly get a Spamton x Reader where Spamton is just totally confused on if the Reader genuinely loves him or if its just some sales pitch. Hes been my comfort character for a while so it'd be nice :>

thank you for reading my silly request :]

Hiya broski! Sorry this took a bit to answer! I didn't really know how to approach this ask. I'm new to fics so I needed to take a bit to prepare so I would know how to write this and to get into the lil man's head if that's alright! Hope you enjoy my dude and remember to lemme know if anythings wonky!

●True Intentions ●

"Here you go sir, your order?" He gave a polite nod to the server "Yes thank you." They gave a small smile and walked away. He took a small sip of his drink as he returned to his thoughts. Spamton was....confused to say the least. He met you about a week ago in the alleyway of his shop.

You'd been looking for your pet or something and tried to dig in a garbage bin....Which was actually his shop. That was locked. He just got back with some goods thst he got a nice deal on and all he saw was some stranger pulling on the lock to his shop. He angerly poked on your waist to see what you were up to.

"What are you doing?!"You jumped and awkwardly explained what it was you were doing when he demanded to know what you were up to.

"I uh..lost my pet..I thought I seen her go off this way?" Of course he was still skeptical but put his goods up and helped you look.

Eventually you two did find what you were looking for and you thanked him more times then we could count. Right before you left is when you started the confusion. You awkwardly asked for his number, and when asked why you nervously shrugged and said he was nice and you thought he was cute. Which absolutely baffled him

When was the last time someone complemented him? Let alone ask for his number and want to spend more time again. He accepted of course and didn't think anything of it.

He started thinking about it when he ran into you almost every day for the rest of the week. Everytime you saw him you were thanking him,and trying your best to make small talk.

This included asking him questions, like what did he do for a living,how many sales has he made,what's the biggest deal he's made. All if which he's awkwardly responded to with vague and short answers. This made him even more suspicious. Whyd you wanna know so much about his job and deals?

He hasn't seen you since everyone's moved to the dark town. Maybe he wouldn't see you again. If there's a whole 'nother dark world who's to say there's not more? Maybe you were somewhere else.

The smell of pastries pulls him out of his thoughts a little. Banana nut he thinks. He does admit you are kinda cute.. which brings him to the present. Why him? It's pretty well known he's a business man.

A horrible one at that. He only Ever gets people's attention when they want to get a deal or a-a..a sales pitch...

His fists clench. Of course. Why else would you go after someone like him? You just wanna make a sales pitch. Nothing more then that. You could of just said so. You didn't have to barge in his life like that and lead him on all for the sake of a deal. It all makes sense now!

Who makes small talk like that??? About deals,and sales...why was that the first question to asked? Why not start off with basic small talk?? Why be interested in him? Why him? Why'd you need to know what his biggest sale and deal was! Of all the people...You just wanted a good deal...

He doesn't hear the distant chime of the Cafe bell. He just angrily glares daggers at his own reflection. It wasn't until a shy familiar voice spoke pointedly in his direction did he force his head out of the clouds.

"Hey Spamton! I uhm.. how are you doing today?" You give a soft smile and take a seat in front of him. "I'm fine" He looked the other way. "Um.. " You glance at the window. You look at his order. "Ohh number 7! That's a good one. Moonberry fudge and a gram apple muffin. Nice." You give a soft smile.

He just remains quiet. You seem a little anxious by now. "..weather's nice huh?.." with only a human for a response you start brimming with anxiety. You try a different approach. "I had a good day at work! We didn't have any rude people.." You look at him.

"Uh how about you? How's work? You made any good sales today?" He looks up at you with a harsh glare. "Wouldn't you like to know!" You flinch and your happy aura quickly forms into an apologetic one.

"I-..im-im sorry..I didn't mean to ask anything sensitive.." You give a sorry look. "I didn't did i?" You look down at your hands. Spamtion hesitates for a moment. No.. He..He cant hesitate. He stands up.

"Yes. Yes you did impose. You imposed in my life acting all kind when I know what you really want." You have the audacity to look confused. "What are you talking about?." He ignores you and heads towards the exit. "Spamton? Spamton wait! Please..I just wanna kno-"

Your conversation fades to the back of his mind as he exists the Cafe and heads towards his house. He should have know better. That way it wouldn't have hurt as bad... He gives a soft wave to a wherewire and keeps walking. After a little bit he stops walking immediately when he feels I small tap on his shoulder.

He turns. "What?!" You give a hurt expression and focus on your hands. "I um..I just wanted to apologize for imposing.. I didn't know you didn't like talking about that" He rolls his eyes. "Just leave me alone already. It's pretty obvious you just want to talk business." Confusion crosses your face once more.

"What? What are you talking about?" His fists clench again. "Aw stop playing dumb already! It's pretty obvious you don't like me, Your just after a good deal or you want a chance at being some big shot with a sales pitch!" He didn't realize he was yelling.

Your practically cowering at this point. "I-what! No-No I'm not! Please believe me I really do like you.. I don't even know how to do business like that!" You have your hands up in front of you as if a policeman had pulled you over.

He falters for a moment. He looks back up again when you speak up. Sorta. "Please..is there anything I can do to make you believe me..." You say just barely above a whisper. He just remains quiet. After a moment of shared silence you were fed up.

"Fine then! I'll prove I'm crazy for you! Absolutely bonkers! You hear?!" You grab both his shoulders, "H-Hey! Put me down!" And yank him up and plant a big kiss on his cheek. "Now will you please go on a date with me?!"

Your face is absolutely covered top to bottom with a beautiful shade of red. Both from anger and embarrassment.After a moment of silence you awkwardly drop him. "S-sorry.." you hide your face in the neck if your shirt.

His cheeks are burning a bright peachy color. "Um..it's alright" after a small beat of silence he adds "yes."

You look back down at him. "Yes what??" You look confused. "...yes I'll go on a date with you.." He doesn't think anyone who'd want some deal would go that far. He believes you now and he says so.

Your quiet for a moment. A small smile works its way on your face. "Alrighty come on, I know just the place" you give a small wink and grab his hand dragging him off to who knows where. "W-what now?!" He gives a baffled expression as he tries to keep up.

You turn and look down again "yes now silly! I gotta make sure you belive me 100!" percent!. "A-alright then..." maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all...

ISNSJSS God that was a lot! And toughie! I enjoyed it tho!

[storywestistrash]

oh yeah ill never translate my rewrite so heres some philip scott facts:

i took the kill your gays thing to the next level cuz hes like one of the few not bi characters in the fic and he dies before the fic even starts

so like yeah fnaf 2 hes already dead hes a ghost

i show that by having him sweat a lot when interacting with objects!

thats cuz it takes a lot of energy to be able to materialize his hands. so he usually just asks mike or fritz to do things for him

his hair is naturally brown but the bright red dye is due to how he died

speaking of how he died

i decided to follow the scott way and just make up the most batshit unrealistic shit just bc hehe it sounds cool

so the way he died is like yeah the animatronics obvi but instead of stuffing him in a suit they uh. they shoved a phone onto his head, crushing it in the process

whyd they do that WELL he referred to himself as "the phone guy" one too many times and something in the toys programming fucked itself over to be like "well wheres the phone then mr"

his body is not found until the main plot happens so its already like rotting in a backroom somewhere when they find it

the reason he cant move on as a spirit is that hes bound by a contract to work for fazbears. at first at least

when the restaurant closes and he stops being the manager the reason he cant move on is a little different

that reason being! that the ghost children decided "this is our uncle now uncle phil" and now THEY wont let him go

he doesnt mind tho its good to feel like hes useful and helping and needed by someone

his Big Fear that every character in this one has is that he's so nothing and just so ordinary that he is utterly unlovable in any way

and while being adopted as an uncle is not the kind of love he was looking for its one that does its job even better

like its exhausting to be looking after kids that very desperately want to kill your at this point friends but also theyre just children and sometimes they need that adult presence

philip isnt all that good with children but okay hes managing

ANYWAY yeah he moves on together with the kids in fnaf 3

also this is only vaguely related but he has an older brother and a niece whos about the same age as mike and his friends

so in fnaf 3 when he hears about phone dude hes like. wdym your dad is named fritz. wd. wdym. FRITZ DID YOU FUCK MY NIECE DID YOU FUCK MY BROTHERS DAUGHTER

and fritz is like "haha lol"

thats not all i have on him but i cant think of more rn. the whole thing is just:

[steveharrington]

Pls share any more headcanons you have about Steve's E.R.D. 🙃👉🏽👈🏽

this is all part of the steve harrington cinematic universe as built by me and @lesbianrobin

steve’s father’s name is james and his mother’s name is gloria like the sparks family from the lumineers album III

steve’s mother and father met in new yawk city da greatest city in da world when she was working in fashion and he was working in business, specifically accounting for big businesses. steve was an oops baby

they moved to hawkins when steve was like three because steve’s dad accepted a very profitable but vaguely described business type job that steve can’t even describe to other people because he 1. has never gotten a clear answer himself and 2. doesnt care. they also moved because it was the first time steve’s father cheated on his mother (that she knew of) so they left the city to Heal and Settle 

when they moved to hawkins, it kinda wrecked his mom’s aspirations because hawkins is not a very fashionable scene plus she became kinda overwhelmed with distrust and needed to devote time to following him on his now frequent business trips in case he cheated again

steve doesnt really understand why his parents would leave new york for hawkins, especially his mother, because they were already making pretty good money. so whyd they do it?? ill tell you

because steve’s dad works for some smaller cog in the big machine that Is the lab! before he did accounting for businesses, but now he does it for the government entity that is the lab. it’s a boring desk job and it isnt even in the big scary building (otherwise he’d so be dead via demodog in s2 along with bob) but it handles the money and covers up the suspicious stuff. makes it look like normal government expenses instead of yknow big monster child torture chamber type stuff. money laundering basically 

he travels a lot because in my mind hawkins lab is a prototype lab and there was supposed to be a bunch in other states. so he goes around offering up his shady services to other prospective labs and steve’s mom goes with him bc of infidelity 

the thing is like. steve’s dad didnt wake up one day and decide like I Am Going To Help The Government Torture Children. rlly he woke up one day and said I Am Going To Make As Much Money As Possible And That’s All That Matters. he’s a look the other way guy. an im just doing my job type guy

its a pretty common hc that steve’s parents just aren’t around much. its not even that his father is particularly busy or that he Has to go out of town a lot--he really chooses to because hes pursuing as many opportunities to make money as possible! 

going from new york to hawkins is kind of embarrassing to his father. even though he’s making good money and that justifies the move to him, he doesn’t want other people thinking he Failed in new york and had to come back to his hometown. so he flexes on them as much as possible! using his wife and steve to do so

its canon that steve’s mom is “super well respected” in hawkins which i take to mean she’s a socialite. she hosts parties and has a book club and is overall just a popular classy lady. steve grows up learning that the best thing you can be is: rich (which he’s already got by extension of being a dependent to rich parents) and at the top of the social ladder wherever you may find yourself, which in his case is school

so steve’s dad puts a lot of pressure on him to look good from the outside. obviously that means driving a nice car like em said and being respected by his peers and having some kind of identifying talent that he’s better than everyone else at, which for steve is basketball

but does he like......attend steves games?? talk to him about it??? no, because to him it’s not his son’s Passion or anything it’s just his Selected Field To Be Best At

steve’s rules are pretty lax. he can drink and smoke and stay out late as much as he wants, but he Cannot make himself look bad, because by extension it makes the family look bad. 

all of this in my brain explains the steve we get in season one. he’s very touchy about the potential of being cheated on, he’s more devoted to remaining with peers he thinks will make him appear popular than to doing the right thing, he’s terrified of his dad potentially finding out that he’s semi involved with a police investigation, & he loves nancy wholeheartedly because, as joe put it, “she’s the first person who listens to him”

also i think it would be super neat if the show explored the more meaningful aspects of steve’s life being kinda extremely fucked up. not just like oh haha he cant get girls anymore but like.....he’s had several head injuries and he was dethroned at the sport that he was described to be best at. and if they were to add his entire life has been funded by the lab that’s now traumatized people he’s come to care about.....wow can you imagine the symbolic rebirth we could get from him saying fuck it and cutting ties!!!

[justalittlebluetiefling]

My favorite texts from my sister in law as she watched season two of The 100:

Why does that president guy look like Hugh Hefner tried to get a Wall Street job?

I have a lot of opinions about this elderly cult they just got adopted into.

I can see the rebellion in Clarke’s eyes and I love it.

Oh, damn. Murphy’s mom sucked.

[about Wells] That sucks. I feel like they made him seem pretty important to Clarke’s story and then just cast him off.

I don’t appreciate what they’re doing with Lincoln right now.

They just all pulled weapons on each other and all I can think of is that episode from The Office with the southern game.

I think it’s pretty shitty that they would send down the 100 as a test, give them time to establish some kind of way of life, and then come down and just be like “no you stupid delinquents we’re in charge jeez” Like??? Maybe if you didn’t want them to make their stuff a hierarchy you should’ve sent an adult or two. But god forbid you risk someone’s life that you’re not going to kill off eventually anyway.

The whole premise of this show is frustrating but I really like it so far.

Clarke. Just. Killed. Finn.

SHE SHANKED HIM

Ok but like. Clarke is pretty bad ass. I’m not going to lie. I thought she was a little annoying at first, but I really like her now.

Wow. What is this. Is Murphy actually being a decent person to someone?! Did Emori actually bring out something tolerable in him...?

High class Hugh Hefner survived his airless travel. I’m surprised. But he’s better than Donald Trump Jr. that’s running the show right now.

WHYD THE HORSE HAVE TO BE ON FIRE

Clarke’s out for blood and I love it. Spicy.

Jasper is a new man. That chocolate cake changed him.

Indra survived!

Clarke took the whole Princess thing and ran with it. But like. A bad ass version.

The new president of the bone marrow club looks like a mix of Donald Trump Jr. and Blaine from Glee. It makes me vaguely uncomfortable.

Also... LEXA AND CLARKE?!

I just honestly like that Clarke is independent and doesn’t rely on a relationship. ... Like they don’t seem to overwhelm her character with a love story. When she has one, it’s more of an addition to her story.

I swear. If Lexa just cost me MONTY’S LIFE Like. WHAT THEBHELL (I kept her typo in on purpose because it’s so funny how mad she is also that scene makes me mad too)

What was the purpose. They had a PLAN

Hugh Hefner has attitude.

God DAMN OCTAVIA

Damn. Clarke really just wiped out that entire cult. 

HE JUST CHOPPED OFF HIS W H O L E HAND

Clarke is LEAVING?!

Why did Murphy just like make himself at home and then watch a video like that?!

Ohhhh Alie gives of big evil villain vibes. Oops she glitched. What was that thiiiiing?!

[mistymark]

the one with a spellbook 😳😳

[5k, full fic] lee jeno x reader, hogwarts!au

in which a spellbook isn’t as clear as it should be about its love spells

lee jeno has the biggest crush on you. like, soul-crushing, can’t-focus-in-class, cant-sleep-because-youre-always-on-his-mind crush on you. and jaemin is just sick of it. so he convinces jeno to try a spell on you. they gather the required necessities to complete the spell and sit on the floor of their dorm. “are you sure about this? what if it goes wrong? what will happen to-,” jeno’s nervously reading and rereading the books vague explanation of the spell over and over again. “it won’t. see here, the spell will work for those they first see they love. so if y/n likes you, shell be temporarily in love with you.” “i don’t know, the wording is kind of vague...” “do you want to find out if they like you back or not?” so they do the spell the next morning - jaemin, who is better at spells, subtly waves his wand, muttering the words of the spell under his breath in the dining hall. jeno watches carefully for any changes in behaviour, but you keep your eyes down on the newspaper in front of you, your hand spooning mouthfuls of oats into your mouth. “go ask them a question,” jaemin nudges jeno from their table. jeno flushes a bright red and shakes his head. jaemin huffs and stands up, tapping you on the shoulder when he reaches your table. you turn in your seat and look at him confusedly for a second before your eyes soften at the sight of him - a happy, lovestruck grin is plastered on your face as you give him your full attention. renjun, who was sitting next to you turns to listen to jaemins question, but frowns at the sudden way you’re behaving. why are you acting like you’re in love with jaemin? everyone in your house knows you’re crushing on jeno. renjun goes over to jeno, who is watching the interaction with wide eyes, and is about to ask what the hell is going on when his eyes catch the spellbook in jaemin’s seat. jeno rushes to hide it, but renjuns already snatched it, opening it to the folded page and reading it. “don’t you have a crush on y/n?” “...” “whyd you let jaemin go, then?” “what do you mean?” “i mean, if you like them, it doesn’t make sense that you’d make them fall in love with jaemin.” there’s silence. “you do know this is an on-sight spell, right? those who they first see, they love.” “WHAT?!” jeno snatches the book from his hands, reading the spell again. “it says the first they see-“ “there’s a comma there, see? it’s smudged. i only know because i have this book at home.” jeno raises an eyebrow at renjun in a questioning way - but then his attention is drawn to where jaemin is walking out of the hall, you trailing behind him with that same dumb lovestruck look on your face, your hand subtly trying to reach out to grab his. “i think you have a bigger problem now.”
