🙈shower sex with JJ Maybank 🙈 for kinktober 2024

kinktober 4 (jj maybank x f!reader)

↳ masterlist  ↳ ship exchange ↳ taglist ↳ kinktober masterlist

content warnings: drabble length, oral (f. receiving), slight breeding kink, badly written dirty talk

a/n: rudy pankow was just doing a meet and greet at my college and i couldn't get tickets *sobs* ALSO one of my friends is like, good friends with the entire obx cast which means theoretically they have seen me on his Instagram wtf

Silly you for thinking you could shower in peace. That was the plan, at least. While JJ was still asleep in bed, you’d get ready and make breakfast for you both. It was summer, and there were no obligations, adventures, or anything. You had him all to yourself. Right as you were starting to wet your hair for your shampoo, you heard the glass door open, and your very naked boyfriend enter. You sent him a glare. “I did not invite you in.” ��Too bad. Invited myself in,” JJ grinned, switching spots with you so he could wash his own hair. “Any chance to see you naked is one I take.”

You rolled your eyes, sending him a slightly amused glance as he shook his hair, spraying droplets all over you. You hit his shoulder playfully as he crowded you against the tiled wall, kissing you deeply. Your hands cupped his face, smiling as he gripped your waist. You could feel him hard against your leg, so you reached down to grab him, earning a growl that sent shivers down your spine. “Whatcha doing princess?” JJ groaned, forehead pressed against yours as you continued your ministrations. “Making you feel good,” you bit your lip, looking up at him through your lashes, something that you knew drove him crazy. He grabbed your wrist, stilling your hand. “You know what would make me feel good?” he whispered. “Is if you’d let me taste you.” You were never good at denying JJ an opportunity to go down on you, mostly because he was damn good at it and you hedonist. You nodded, removing your hand as JJ crouched on the floor, kissing over your thighs, thumbs brushing over your hip bones. He brought one of your legs over his shoulder, kissing your clit as his hands massaged your plush thighs. You sucked in a breath and gripped his hair as he started licking you softly, moaning into your skin. He licked a long stripe from your entrance to your bud, one of his hands going around to grip your ass. You moaned, unable to tear your eyes away from the sight of him between your legs. You were well aware that JJ could get off from just eating you out, knowledge that did nothing to quell your arousal. “Fuck, this pussy tastes like heaven,” JJ mumbled, sucking your clit before kissing it gently. JJ could hear your whines, signs that you were getting close to your end, so he sped up his work until you were grasping his hair and coming down around him, your choked moans reminding him how painfully hard he was. He kept licking anyway, until you were forcefully pushing him away from the overstimulation. “Still want me?” he grinned chin slick with your juices. “Still want you,” you smiled, pulling him up and kissing him. He turned you around so your hands were braced against the wall. He nudged your legs apart, positioning himself at your entrance before pushing in. You were still sore from your activities last night, and JJ slapping your ass and rubbing away the redness was not helping. The burn felt good, though, and you felt yourself grinding back against him. JJ grabbed your wrists, holding them behind you as he fucked harder into you. “Fuck princess, you’re going to be the death of me. Gonna let me fill you up, huh?” JJ growled, and you could do nothing but whine in response, your orgasm fast approaching. His was, too, if his sloppy thrusts were any indicator. Holding your arms in one hand, he used the other to rub circles on your clit, pushing you over the edge until you were coming with a shout of his name. JJ came after you, staying inside you for a bit to ensure that every last bit of him would stay. You both panted heavily, the sound of the running water reminding you of your earlier task. “I do actually have to shower, you know,” you raised a brow, laying your back against the wall. JJ just laughed, that boyish grin on his face something you could never get sick of, as you both finished up your showers and continued with your day.

First picture :

Second picture :

The first person is aware that Lydia could remove the files from her mouth at any time? Literally, she takes them off on her own to talk when she gets tired of them! Beetlejuice is a very powerful fucking demon, if he wanted to completely silence Lydia he could and would have done so. However, he didn't do it. I'm tired of seeing people make this situation worse when in reality it's not as restrictive as it seems.

Same with the baby's delusion, which yes, is admittedly very disturbing at first and the only real reprehensible thing that Beetlejuice does to Lydia in this film in my opinion (because with the song that is played at their wedding ceremony and the how easily he lets Lydia send him away (I'm sure he wasn't really planning on marrying her this time). But then again, he didn't actually get Lydia pregnant ! And she didn't really give birth to his demonic child either ! And she seems to get over that weird, disgusting prank made by Beetlejuice pretty quickly.

Also, I don't know why but I never had the impression that Beetlejuice had traumatized Lydia in the first film as an attempt to affirm these people, particularly the second.

Literally, she doesn't seem to have any after-effects in the first film, and the sequel proves it even more. At what point in her scenes with Beetlejuice himself does Lydia seem to be truly afraid of him or particularly traumatized by him ? And I'm talking about the scenes where she is with him in the flesh. Because the moments when she thinks she's hallucinating his presence, it's logical that she panics. But no, she never seems terrified of Beetlejuice himself.

Not even at the famous wedding, contrary to what the second person says. This is bullshit.

The scenes where Beetlejuice makes declarations to Lydia like the serenade or the marriage, she doesn't seem disgusted (except when he throws his heart in her hands and that's somewhat normal) or terrified, or both.

She just has a face that generally says : Wtf ? Because the situation is WTF ! This wedding scene is not at all portrayed as creepy in the first place !

Frankly, it's bad form to say the opposite for me ! It’s deliberately turning a blind eye. Beetlejuice is a horror comedy, these scenes are above all funny with touches of bizarre and gothic !

The actors love their characters together, including Winona who totally ships them. To say that she played her character as being terrified of Beetlejuice is bullshit.

And even if his acting was out of step with the script, that's not the case. Because once again, Lydia is not traumatized by Beetlejuice even through writing.

Aside from the fact that Lydia doesn't want to say Beetlejuice's name to avoid screwing up her life again (and we understand), there is nothing that indicates a real fear of Beetlejuice, the individual, in her !

And no, Lydia does not have any trauma that caused her to hallucinate the Beetlejuice presence. We know it, we see it, Beetlejuice does this on his own, so when Lydia sees him it's real. These are not hallucinations resulting from trauma at all !

Yes, Beetlejuice is problematic, obviously he's a demon ! Yes, Beetlebabes also has problematic aspects, obviously since once again Beetlejuice is a demon !

(That's literally the whole appeal of this ship between these two... Nobody likes Beetlebabes because it's a healthy relationship !)

But I'm tired of people trying to make it worse than it is.

In this sequel, Beetlejuice literally saved Astrid, Lydia's daughter, and he also saved her from marrying a complete asshole !

Not only that, but the way he pursues Lydia, or courts her if you prefer, isn't really cringeworthy.

He helps her save her daughter. Saves her from a bad marriage. He plays the serenade. Gives her a hand kiss. Is ready to accept Astrid as his child. Offers her his beating heart (yuck), etc. Frankly, it's a good overall approach for me !

And even if it's frankly not cool to haunt her in recent years, the film suggests to us that it's really due to a connection between the two characters. So that balances it out a bit.

Frankly, the antis greatly exaggerate the issues of ship Beetlebabes and the character of Beetlejuice.

It's like those who say he's a pedophile, when he only seeks to marry Lydia for convenience in the first film, not because he has feelings for her. Plus people seem to forget that Beetlejuice comes from an era where girls generally married at the age Lydia was in the first film...

But hey. Really thinking about these is a bit hard obviously for the antis.

And I'm not even going to bother talking about those (like this second person) who think Beetlejuice having a picture of Lydia from the first movie on his desk is creepy...

[olderthannetfic]

please, send help. i (23y/o) think i am getting to a stage where I need to be a Cool Aunt TM for my niece (13y/o). She's been a bit too online since she had to move around a lot. She had a bit of antis mentality, but i'm trying to pull her away from it slowly. At the same time, she's been around the internet, reading 18+ yaois and shit. I did the same at her age, so I can’t say I don't understand her. But as an adult idk how to talk about this 18+ healthily with her? or do I even need to? should I leave her on her own devices? I didn't have an adult to talk about these things with growing up so idk how you're supposed to do this.

There is not way to say how my parents or sibling (her mom) would react if I drop this on them, could be +/- , but it's a bit of a lottery depending on the most recent online articles they read lately. lol. They're open to convos, but a bit religious.

I'm taking suggestions if anybody would like to give some.

P.S. I am also not a cool person, i'm pretty much a lame homebody so… i also don’t know how to be cool lol.

im so sorry idk who else to ask.

--

Ahaha. Well, don't try too hard to be ~cool~. Nothing could be more offensive to the sensibilities of a 13-year-old.

A well delivered "Oh, come on, no one really thinks that" and eye-roll in response to the more delusional anti stuff has a wonderful effect if you're offline and the person respects you. Humans in general and 13-year-olds in particular are hypersensitive about fitting in. A boring and serious lecture from an older person will set off every melodramatic "The old people don't understaaaand!" instinct, but a well-timed "LOL, WTF" causes internal panic that one has missed something. If she wants the serious and nuanced explanation, she can ask for it, but I wouldn't start there.

As for how you talk about raunchy art... it really depends on the person. If she realizes you like the same stuff, she may bring it up. I think recs are fine, and so is euphemistic "I liked the ship dynamic in this one". "I got off to this" is TMI on your part. (Well, it's TMI on her part too, but be prepared for TMI if you become the confidant of a 13-year-old.)

Honestly, as long as she's directing the conversation and you aren't sharing details of your masturbation habits, I think you'll be fine. 13-year-olds aren't babies. If they're old enough to read porny doujinshi, they're old enough to talk to a trusted adult about them.

My teen tastes were weird art films full of sex. 13 is pretty young, but within a couple of years, she'll be the age I was when I was trying to see shit like Crash. She could be anywhere from self-assured in her tastes and interested in discussing her favorite media to easily-influenced to paralyzed by guilt. Creepy grooming shit comes from groomers choosing to groom, not from the topic of sexuality being in the air. If she's reading something with even a shred of plot or romance, you can talk about that without the actual conversation being X-rated. My main concern would be to avoid her trying to impress you by consuming media she finds uncomfortable or talking about things she doesn't actually want to share. You can really only judge that by body language and tone of voice in the moment.

I mean... does "18+ yaois" mean actual BL series here that have a few sex scenes or doujinshi that are entirely porn? ('Yaoi' basically means 'PWP' and is not exactly complimentary, after all.) It's somewhat harder to talk about the latter. But I liked some pretty out-there shit as a teen and did talk to adults about it. They just let me do most of the talking.

Probably the easiest way to broach the topic is to catch her reading something and go "Oh, I read that one" or "I liked [name of BL]".

Babe, wake up, new Genshin ship just dropped

Okay guys hear me out

Tartaglia x Emilie

OKAY NO BUT HEAR ME OUT

Tartaglia goes to Fontaine. No introduction there, we all know the weird shit happening in Fontaine by the time he gets there.

Of course, with Emilie being a forensic scientist, she's on the missing persons' case that's been plaguing Fontaine for years now.

Tartaglia is of course immediately under suspect because IT'S TARTAGLIA DUH and naturally Emilie's like "Wtf no???" and comes to his aid with all her research on the case. We love the girl coming to a man in distress, honestly. More male damsels, please ;v;

The Oratrice finds him guilty and he tries squaring up with Neuvilette. Emphasis on "tries". Sorry Tartaglia, I love you, but you got laid the absolute fuck out by him. And then of course, he goes missing in Meropide. Poof.

And since Emilie works with Wriothesley, she gets into Meropide pretty easily to figure out what the heck is happening. That's when she meets our favorite twins, Lyney and Lynette, who are also working the case to look for their Fatui friend. Emilie finds Tartaglia's Hydro Vision left behind and BOOM she knows about the Primordial Sea and where he is.

Great, now she's wrapped up in the whole thing about Furina :D

Okay okay fast forward through Furina's trial when the Narwhal and Tartaglia show up running hands with each other. Emilie's in so deep that she FOLLOWS HIM INTO THE ABYSS with Neuvillette.

Anyway, Neuvillette, Emilie, and best boy beat the hell out of the Narwhal. I imagine Emilie doesn't get to know much about Abyss stuff and gets ejected out like Tartaglia when Skirk shows up. Tartaglia winds up back in Snezhnaya and Emilie gets dropped back into Fontaine.

Time passes, things return to semi-normal after Furina steps down as Archon. Emilie's been cleaning up some final paperwork regarding the cases she's been a part of recently. And that's when a letter arrives from Snezhnaya.

It's from Tartaglia! He's thanking her for coming to his aid and helping to clear his name, even though they were pretty much strangers to one another the whole time. He expresses interest in getting to know her better so he can properly thank you for all her help. That help might have been alluding to violence against other people, but that's neither here nor there hehe

So not only does Emilie write him back, she sends him a care package with his Vision that he lost and an array of custom perfumes/colognes she thinks Tartaglia would enjoy, all themed around the ocean!

I'm talking sweet beachy sandalwood scents, perhaps one with a crisp, saltier scent like ocean water, and definitely something with a bit of a woodsy smell to it, like a clean, oceanside pine forest.

Oh boy, Tartaglia thinks he may be head over heels at this point 👀

That's it, he's going back to Fontaine for a visit! Cute shenanigans ensue! They're adorable AAAAA

Brb I have fanfiction to write now sjgstjsjgjgdst

[echolepzy]

rant about isat to me NOW /silly

i need to know your opinions. favorite ship? sifloop or isafrin truther? favorite silly? favorite trauma? any North Island headcanons? I may be ‘on hiatus’ but that will not stop me from scrolling isat tag for several hours a day. this game is eating me alive and i’m not mad about it

-that one mutual who’s supposed to be on hiatus but is really bad at it

(i won’t be reblogging but i will send more asks to reply i need to talk to someone about this stupid fucking game-)

Oh fuck yeah gladly

Favorite ship? Personally, I prefer isafrin, but I think they’re all neat. I also really like exploring the non-romantic relationships! This game shows that intimacy and romance aren’t essential for happiness and companionship, and I really cherish that.

Favorite silly? That’s a tough one, it’s hard to pick just one! I think I’m gonna go with Bonnie, though. Bonnie’s definitely one of my favorite sillies.

Favorite trauma? Hmmm… There are a lot of ‘em. Guess it depends on my mood. Does Mal du Pays in itself count? I really like Mal du Pays. Maybe too much. At one point I was thinking “Hmm, Mal du Pays. Yes.” and a whole AU came out of it, basically.

North Island headcanons? Ah, yes, The Country (TM). I like imagining that people from the Forgotten Country are just. Literal star people. Like actually people that came from stars. Also that they were probably more technologically advanced, and they used Wish Craft a lot but on a smaller scale (with more people making wishes, the power was more evenly distributed and big dangerous wishes were less of an issue), which led to them placing very high value in the saying “Be careful what you wish for” and commonly seeing greed and selfishness as one of the worst flaws a person could have. (Semi-unrelated but I would also really like to see more about the other countries like Poteria and Mwudu)

For any miscellaneous thoughts… I love thinking about Sadnesses. My AU has some significant focus on them and expands on them a lot, and I’m hoping I’ll get around to posting it at some point (it’ll be on @spiraling-stardust though lol). Also I love seeing people write Siffrin and Loop with a twins dynamic, like a chaos duo with a shared braincell, I absolutely love it. If anyone has any ideas for different kinds of Craft that weren’t introduced in the game, I’d love to hear about that too (after all, there’s supposedly enough to fill entire books with! I think Sound Craft and Illusion Craft should be a thing).

My brother is the most Loop-coded person I know, and since I plan on cosplaying Siffrin for Halloween, he called me stardust ONCE and suddenly it’s literally my name now in some places. Wtf why did we accidentally assign each other to kin two of the most mentally ill characters ever why did this happen. Sometimes we even do the phone hand thing when we talk to each other. I guess this is a thing now (help)

If you wanna talk to me about it more be my guest!! I must talk about the sillies. The sillies ever. They’re in agony and so am I. Brand sparkling new hyperfixation and it’s spreading like wildfire

Oml mrs flood who even are you leave me alone already.

In conclusion this is how I currently feel:

[babyrdie]

I know this exists but I can't help but find the idea of Helen and Achilles as an afterlife couple weird (and what's the name of that ship? Hechilles? Achelen? The Godly Blondies™?)

I don't know the name of this ship (I don't even know if anyone ships them nowadays), but The Godly Blondies™ is really something, although I think they're more The Hot Blondies™! Dear nonny, I'll use your ask to talk about this version. I hope you don't mind! And I know people generally don't like this version, but I genuinely have some headcanons about it lol if anyone is interested in reading silly headcanons about Leuke, the ask box is open.

If someone who's never heard of this couple is reading this ask and going "wtf", well…the context:

Because she was very beautiful, when she reached marriageable age she caught the attention of several suitors. Achilles, however, was training at Pelion and didn't participate. Hesiod says that the only reason Helen married Menelaus is because of Achilles' absence, as he surpassed Menelaus and the other suitors, this being one of the oldest sources that insinuate anything romantic between Helen and Achilles. (Hesiod, Catalogues of Women, frag 68):

(ll. 100-106) But Chiron was tending the son of Peleus, swift-footed Achilles, pre-eminent among men, on woody Pelion; for he was still a boy. For neither warlike Menelaus nor any other of men on earth would have prevailed in suit for Helen, if fleet Achilles had found her unwed. But, as it was, warlike Menelaus won her before.

But the result is what we already know: Helen herself chooses Menelaus as her husband.

There is also a version of the myth in which Achilles wants to see Helen, and so Thetis and Aphrodite find a way for them to meet. But I don't know if the nature of this meeting is necessarily romantic, since I only read the summary of the frag in English and the description is very succinct there. Maybe the original fragment in Greek gives more certainty, but I don't know how to read Greek so I didn't even look to see if it's available online. Perhaps Aphrodite's presence at the meeting is what gives it a romantic vibe? I don't know (Stasinus of Cyprus, Cypria, frag 1).

In another version, the Trojan princess Cassandra prophesies about Helen's five husbands, who are: Theseus because he kidnapped her, Menelaus because he was her chosen husband, Paris because she was taken by him (kidnapped or not, it depends), Deiphobus because he married her after Paris' death, Achilles because they marry after death. At the same time, Cassandra herself says that Helen and Achilles is just a dream, as Achilles is destined to be Medea's husband (yes, that exists too. If anyone is curious, send an ask lol). So I really don't understand why he's mentioned as one of the five husbands in this version if they don't get married because of Medea (because if Lycophron were to put everyone who dreamed of Helen as one of her husbands, then there would be a whole poem just for that), but well….here he is (Lycophron, Alexandra, 139-179)

Additionally, Achilles had more than one wife assigned to him in the afterlife, and one of them was Helen (Pausanias, Description of Greece, 3.19.13; Conon, Narrations, 18). And then maybe you think, “But Birdie, why is Helen with Achilles and not Menelaus?” and I honestly don't know the answer. I only know that the two of them married at Leuke is a myth associated with the poet Stesichorus of Himera (630 BC–555 BC), who supposedly went blind after writing offensive things about Helen and was cured by her after he wrote a eulogy for her. Another version where they are together in the afterlife even involves a winged son, although the development of the whole situation is really unexpected...

The fourth recounts that Helen was the first to imagine drawing lots with the fingers and that she won at chance with Alexander; she was the daughter of Aphrodite. There was born of Helen and Achilles in the fortunate isles a winged child named Euphorion after the fertility of this land; Zeus caught him and with a blow knocked him to earth in the isle of Melos, where he continued the pursuit and changed the nymphs there into frogs because they had given him burial. Some say that Helen was taken away by Alexander when she hunted on the mount of the Virgin (Parthenion); struck by his beauty, she followed him like a dog.

Bibliotheca, 190.24. Translation by John Henry Freese.

And finally, the only other source I know of with this relationship (there may be more, maybe I just don't know) tells about the creation of Leuke, Achilles and Helen also appear as a couple in the afterlife and was written by Philostrathus (the Athenian or the Younger, can't be 100% sure):

Thetis beseeched Poseidon to send up from the sea an island where they could dwell. After Poseidon had pondered the length of the Pontus and that, because no island lay in it, it was sailed uninhabited, he made Leuke appear, of the size I have described, for Achilles and Helen to inhabit, but also for sailors to stay and set their anchor in the sea. As ruler over everything that is by nature wet, after he also conceived of the rivers Thermodon, Borysthenes, and Istros so that they were carried off into the Pontus by irresistible and continually flowing currents, Poseidon heaped together the sediment from the rivers, which they sweep into the sea starting at their sources in Scythia. He then neatly fashioned an island of just the size I mentioned and set its foundation on the bottom of the Pontus. There Achilles and Helen first saw and embraced one another, and Poseidon himself and Amphitrite hosted their wedding feast, along with all the Nereids and as many rivers and water-spirits as flow into the Sea of Maiotis and the Pontus. They say that white birds live on the island and that these marine birds smell of the sea. Achilles made them his servants, since they furnish the grove for him with the breeze and rain drops from their wings. They do this by fluttering on the ground and lifting themselves off a little bit above the earth. For mortals who sail the broad expanse of the sea, it is permitted by divine law to enter the island, for it is situated like a welcoming hearth for ships. But it is forbidden to all those who sail the sea and for the Hellenes and barbarians from around the Pontus to make it a place of habitation.

Heroica, 746. Translation by Jennifer K. Berenson Maclean and Ellen Bradshaw Aitken.

There may be another source I'm missing, however…I'm not a classicist, so it's not like I study these myths deeply to be sure.

Tumblr life tips:

(please imagine these as like, tumblr loading screens. Thank you!)

You make mutuals faster when you change your name/icon less. The easier it is to remember + spell your username, the better people will remember you.

If you block the tag for something, (say, #dogs) do yourself a favor and block the same word in filtered post content. There are plenty of posts about dogs not tagged with anything, and the posts that mention dogs that you'd actually like are slim to none.

Send the people on your dash asks when you can. If you see an ask meme during your daily scroll, send something in! Its the tumblr version of small talk.

If you want to have a slightly more serious conversation with a mutual, you can't go wrong asking about their headcanons. 99% of people will jump at the chance to geek out, and the 1% that really aren't in the mood today can simply delay or delete the ask.

If you are already having a bad day, you should take the time to go in #anti your ship and block the people that bash the ship. You probably won't want to encounter any of those people in the wild, unless they are the rare breed thats civil about things.

Don't wait until tumblr becomes unfun to block the current discourse. The moment you see figurative clouds on the horizon that you don't like, get tag blocking!

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/crushes is a thing where you only see posts from the dudes you RB from the most often! I set it as my tumblr bookmark so I'll see the posts I'm the most interested in first.

Block annoying people, even if you agree with them on the current issue. You'll find something else to disagree on later, and you already know they aren't a fun person to disagree with.

If you see a shitty ass take, only reblog with a "WTF" if they are the first person in the reblog chain. Else, the guy you dislike won't see it but the first person in the RB chain will. That helps nobody.

If the person you just blocked is still everywhere, filter their username in filtered post content.

Tumblr Savior is basically a tumblr modpack. Look into downloading it as soon as possible if you have not already.

Also theres a firefox extension (idk if its on chrome, switch to firefox anyway it eats less ram) called Palettes for tumblr where you can make tumblr any colors you like! Mine is a nice warm sepia! :)

Please add your own tips I need to get better at tumbling.

Explaining WTF is up with this comic for @darkmedolie and anyone else too shy to ask

This is a comic taking place in A Hat in Time's Subcon's beta/alpha(/I don honestly know) story, in which Painter/Prince/Neth(named such in this Shane Frost comic) evolves into Moonjumper, meaning the Subcon Snatcher is a totally separate character, not to mention having a different person he originated from... So, ingame (Prince->)Snatcher only really has his looks in common with him... Outside of Shane Frost's recent works, Betasnatcher originated and was mainly treated as a joke nuisance character, as opposed to being a threat on the level of MJ, so you could count that as a rather significance difference as well.

The comic is a sort of... Alternate reading, rewrite, etc... of this animatic of Neth becoming the Moonjumper... It's mainly a joke SnatchedBrush (my 'shipname' for art / writing / etc of Neth & Snatcher being close) comic but i suppose you could say it kind of takes place in an AU where Neth has a little more hatred in their heart & does the things he does to a lesser extent but a little more willingly, as well as being a little more lucid. It's kind of an attempt at making the once-crazypopular snatchmoon ship more palatable to me LOL.

The intended context/reading of it is... Neth is cellar'd by vanessa, but escapes it with the curse's help, & immediately goes on to approach his dear friend Snatcher. The curse craves warmth so he immediately starts getting verbally affectionate, to Snatcher's delight. Still, when touched, he notices Neth is not warm (impying death) but doesn't comment on it.. yet, anyway. This is to show he is NOT oblivious to whatever scary thing happened, willfuly or otherwise.. The 2 are approached by a random villager and Neth (neth jumper...? nj...?) immediately & very unexpectedly turns gravely hostile, shocking the Snatcher. This is to show he is going through both scary mental health stuff and the curse affecting him. Blam. like and subscibe and send more asks for more of my dope real as fr*ick thoughts

This is part one of my live blog post of RWRB. I’ll put it below the cut to avoid spoilers but if you want to see my mildly incoherent screaming… we’ll, this is the place lol!

Happy viewing friends.

- I love that they listed Alex and Nora as the first “who’s who” lol.

- Lol at Alex trying to ditch the reception

- My boy is jealous of Henry 😭

- Didn’t even make it in the door without downing a glass of champagne lol

- ���When the revolution happens it will because of this wedding”

- Bea and Nora are amazing already

- Omg Bea didn’t even let Nora meet Henry before she stole her away

- Oh man Alex. You need to slow down love.

- Henry is dying

- Oh so THATS how he got the icing on his hand

- “We are the same height!”

- This is the best possible music for this scene, I can’t

- Fucking Bea “oh” as she’s trying not to die

- That intro was perfect. And I love these graphics at the start.

- Alex’s joke still sends me

- My darling Uma, that accent though, hunny

- “I was out polling the spice girls”

- The buttercream summit 😂😂😂

- Yay Alex is still smart and political!

- Alex and Ellen’s relationship is amazing. And Zahra is amazing.

- “Mitch McConnell eating a banana” “We’d ship the ashes to Heathrow” “No one in their right mind would give you a gun”

- These quotes are everything

- Oh my god Jonathan 😂😂😂 (“That’s my son your talking about”)

- Jesus Christ Henry is so fucking hot in that car. And in those sunglasses.

- I’m obsessed with how Henry says Alex’s name.

- Alex is already turned on and no one will convince me otherwise

- Henry is trying so hard to look uncomfortable because he’s angry and not because he’s in love

- The long pause before the “yup” lol

- Henry doing his best to not roll his eyes constantly lol

- “It happens more often than you think in the palace” oh my GOD Henry

- FIRSTPRINCE AROUND KIDS

- Oh god the fucking closet scene

- Alex’s fucking glare and Henry’s guilt and their fucking proximity I’m dead

- “You could have helped me and you didn’t”

- I’m glad they are getting so much of this out in the open and the little changes in the narrative are amazing

- ALEX AS A STRAWBERRY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY HEART EGES OH MY FUCKING GOD

- First complaint, that we didn’t get the conversation in the hospital

- WAS HE LOOKING AT HIS LIPS OH GOD

- I love his dad so much 😭

- That fucking shot was BEAUTIFUL

- MIGUEL OMG FLIRTING AND GETTING ASKED OUT WTF

- No. No. No one says eyelashes but Henry. Go away.

- His little smile when Henry texts him 😭😭😭

- Busting up in class. Running through the park. The GIF. CORNBREAD!

- “Perhaps this conversation”

- God I really am obsessed with them having all the conversations with them in the same room and not. God. The two of them looking at each other even though we know they aren’t.

- “Have I surprised you in any way” I’m fucking dead

- THEY DONT WANT TO GET OFF THE PHONE MY GOD

- There are some lines I’m sad we didn’t get so far but I’ll survive

- Alex has so much ambition, I love him

- “People like him more than they like you” “well they wouldn’t if they knew him”

- I do wish they had gotten to the party a little slower. It is going to make what comes next feel a little rushed.

- Pez is fucking everything

- A whole party of people and Alex only has eyes for Henry. A girl asks him to dance and he tries to bring Henry Jesus Christ. And then he watched him the whole time.

- AHHHHH THEY FUCKING GOT THE SONG

- Henry is drinking out of the fucking bottle lol and his little dad dancing

- Oh god fuck me the staring across the dance floor with everything slowing down and they just stare I cannot

- Even though I knew it’s still so hard to watch Henry’s puppy dog face get so sad

- “Who would you be?” “I’d be a writer, live in Paris, certainly date more.”

- God the kiss. The fucking kiss. I’m dead. It was even better than I expected s. Henry’s hands playing with Alex’s hair. Alex leaning in and totally kissing back. Alex watching him walk away. I’m not alive.

- I legit watched that kiss like 7 times

- Alex misses him so bad 😭😭😭

- “So… funny thing happened on NYE” lololol

- “More like the first 50 rows of a Gaga concert kind of gay”

- Pez and Nora… cuuuute

- I am missing the gay panic and Nora’s reaction

- Wtf does Alex’s rugby vs football mean? Lol

- I like this but they probably should have kept June and Nora separate because I think the two different personalities mattered

- I do appreciate the easy acceptance but I do miss Alex being totally ignorant to himself lol

- This is good but I do think they nerfed Alex’s character a bit

- Alex totally ignoring a topic he actually cares about in favor of Henry is adorable

- THE FUCKING RED ROOM ALEX BABY YOY AGE SO AWKWARD

- THE MAKEOUT OH GOD THAT WAS SO HOT

- “Are you still?” “Like Stonehenge.” “His Royal Hardness.”

- The ass grab I fucking CANT

- “Yeah, tell me”

- Henry is so fucking into this. He’s gobsmacked. He legit froze for like 5 whole seconds.

- Alex is so confident and Henry is so here for it

- The classic “this changes nothing” of a RomCom. Of my sweet summer children.

- Alex is way less shocked by the when than expected.

- Oh god the little whimper. I’m unwell.

- WE STAN A BI KING

- “Are they known for their homosexual tendencies?”

- Jesus the way they look at each other. And Alex’s look when he says it has to be casual. Dear fucking god.

- They are so sweet and so awkward I love them

- Henry is so sarcastic I adore him

- Henry’s little head shake when he left the room. And he looked so FUCKING HOT in that doorway. Gawwwwd.

- Alex looking at him playing polo. Me too, babe. Me too.

- I loved the way they did the polo hookup was amazing

- They have so much fucking chemistry oh my god

- “He is” OH MY FUCKING GOD

- They are so good together. They play off each other so well.

- Alex wants to grab his hand so bad when he’s sad

- “Can he ever belong to someone else?” My poor baby 😭😭😭

- I need the picture of them in front of the window with the Eiffel Tower in front of them

- “I think we should make love tonight.”

- This scene is everything. They are so sweet together. And so flirty. God I love them so much.

- Oh my god. Oh my god. I have no words. This scene is everything. They managed to make that hot and romantic and sweet and everything it should be.

- This conversation after is so damn sweet

- And that right there is a man in love. He’s so happy. His little smile on the plane. God I’m so glad I know how it ends.

- I know the scene between Alex and his mom is heavy but I’m also dying over Alex in that Henley. He looks gorgeous.

- I’m really glad Ellen came around fast. And I’m glad he’s going to Texas.

- I don’t love the fact that his parents are married. And now I’m pretty sure the lake house is going to be very different. Though I do love how active he is.

- The emails. THE EMAILS.

- HE CALLED HIM DEAR

- “And then I want to lick it off”

- I’m obsessed with how important Alex is in this

- Ah. I see it now. It’s going to be Miguel who outs them.

- The way Henry looks at him when Alex says he hasn’t seen the movie he loves. They are so damn cute.

- “Where IS she?”

- She’s legit crawling all over the furniture. Zahra is so funny.

- “Technically I’m the spare” these idiots

- “You, little Lord Fuckleroy” 😂😂😂

- How was that scene even funnier in the movie 😂😂😂
