"Hello author! I've read some of your other works and I thought they were great, so I have a request for you.

Would you be willing to write a Rise Raph x reader where they're having a sleepover? Raph is nervous about wearing his retainer around them but doesn't realize that the reader also has a retainer until they put theirs on, fluff ensues.❤️🙏🙏🙏"

Sure thing! Thanks for the request :)

♡Self conscious sleepover♡

~During a sleepover, Raph gets worried about wearing his retainer~

Warnings: None, just fluff :)

Word count: 933

*****************************************************************

You had just had an amazing, long night with the gang.

Raph had invited you over for a sleepover, so you could hang out with him and his brothers, watch movies, play games, and chill.

It was getting late now though, even for them. Mikey was already passed out on the couch you all had been watching movies on. Leo was sitting in front of the couch watching Jupiter Jim intently, and Donnie was typing something on his wrist watch, as he was ‘definitely too busy to watch the Atomic Lass special’.

Raph yawned once, displaying his fang and teeth before stretching his back as he sat forward. He noticed how sleepy you were looking, and decided it was probably time for the two of you to head to bed.

“Y/n, you ready to head to Raphs’ room?” Raph asked, looking sleepy himself.

You yawned as well and nodded. “Yeah, probably…”

Raph nodded, definitely ready for bed; But he was the older brother, and had to make sure his younger siblings would go to bed too.

“Leo, last movie. Seriously, you won’t get any sleep. Same for you too Donnie, and no lab work past midnight.”

“Yes yes dear brother, I know the rules,” Donnie said, dismissing it with a wave of his hand before typing more stuff onto his wrist watch.

“Don’t worry Hermanos, I’ll make sure Don Tron goes to bed…. Aaaand I won’t stay up past midnight either…” Leo said, giving Raph a smile before turning his attention fully back to the screen.

Raph sighed, content with their answer. “You two will sleep… Trust me, I’ll know if you didn’t.” He tucked Mikey in with a blanket before getting up from the couch.

“Ready Y/n?”

You nodded happily and sleepily, telling the twins goodnight before getting up from the couch yourself.

Raph’s bedroom was nice. It was large, decently organized, and decorated with a few scattered posters. You noticed the small (some larger) scratch marks on the walls from his spikes. He had a large bed, big enough for the two of you to sleep on. Actually, you guessed that it was a king sized bed and a twin mattress pushed together to make one large bed.

“I like your room,” You smiled, setting your bag down. You had already gotten changed into your pj's, brushed your teeth and hair, ready for bed. One last thing was needed, though, to complete your routine. You squatted down next to your bag, digging through its contents to find your retainer.

“Thanks,” Raph smiled, and sat down on his bed, having already finished his nightly routine… But, he needed his retainer, too. It was sitting on his mostly bare nightstand, next to a small lamp. He didn’t keep much on it, more than once he had knocked the contents off during the night.

He was nervous to get it out, looking over at it more than once as the two of you talked.

“It kind of reminds me of my own room… I especially like your squishmallows collection,” You smiled at him over your shoulder, still digging around in your bed.

Raph smiled a toothy smile. “Thanks! I like to collect them… Kind of hard to do that without spending a lot of money, though… Most of them are ones my brothers have given me over the years”

You nodded. “Cool! Seems like your brothers knew just what to get you then.”

Raph looked over at the small box on his nightstand. He was nervous about wearing it in front of you. He had only ever worn it in front of his brothers, and he was worried of what you would think of it… Especially because it was shaped around his fang and looked a little strange.

Finally your fingers found the container your retainer was kept in.

You pulled it out of your bag, opening the small plastic container with a click

Raph blinked. “You… Wear a retainer?” He asked as you put it on, fitting it inside your mouth.

After a short moment of muscle memory, you closed the container and put it back in your bag with a nod and a smile. “Yep, I wear a retainer.”

You glanced at Raph to see his reaction, and was pleasantly surprised when Raph’s face lit up into a smile.

“Really? I wear one too!” He said, grabbing his container from his nightstand. “Raph was a little nervous about wearing it in front of you…”

You raised your eyebrows. “Nervous? Why?” You smiled. “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Raph nodded, feeling a little better. “I don’t know… I was just self conscious.”

You shake your head. “Don’t be! I would never make fun of you for it or anything, even if I didn’t wear one myself.”

Raph smiles, and you zip up your bag. He opened the small plastic container, putting the plastic retainer over his teeth.

You smile at him, and he smiles back, clearly relieved.

“Thanks Y/n,” He smiled, and scooted so you could take half of the bed. You sat down next to him with a smile, patting his shoulder.

“No problem… Seriously, don’t stress about it…. No one should ever make fun of you for it,” You say, laying down next to him on your half of the bed, pulling the blankets up over yourself. It was getting really late, and you could immediately tell how tired you were.

Raph smiled and nodded, pulling the gigantic blanket over half of himself too.

“Good to know…Thanks,” He said, sleepiness settling into his eyes and muscles.

“Anytime Raphie…”

Hope you like it! I'm really busy working on some personal and long requests, so I took a break to do some shorter ones :)

Bye bye butterflies!

Thoughts on latest HB ep "Ghostf**kers" (*now that I've regained a bit more energy post-Halloween weekend lol*):

So the newest ep of HB has came & went from what I've seen- aaaand naturally feels like the best time for me to finally ramble about it now that its settled in my brain some more .3. Thoughts (+Spoilers) below~ NOTE: Most of this -does- get a lil rant-y below sooo... read at your own risk lol .w.;;

First things out of the way to start things off on a good note, the Pros:

To start off with... FINALLY we got some Millie focus for a major episode plot (-or more specifically, focus that doesn't get revolved back to Moxxie somehow lol)😭👏👏. Even if Millie's spotlight here did have to be shared with Blitz for a good chunk of the ep, their friendship was actually genuinely sweet & compelling to watch (esp. their backstory & how Millie was allowed to stand up for herself, give him space, BUT also coming around to acknowledging the good in Blitz, when it all came down to it🥺👏). Which ngl, after these previous episodes reigning down HARD on this dude... idk, just felt refreshingly wholesome to see for this series, yknow?😊

New villain Rolando was pretty cool, and surprisingly spooky to watch as the second-half went on oml- .o.;; While I'm still a teensy bit confused how his powers/demon lore work (at least to what we already know about Hell limitations crossing to the human world, ex. succubi & their crystals), his underwater monster vibe gave some fun visuals to watch up until the climax. I'm not 100% familiar with John Waters' works, but damnnn he should take up voice-acting more often ngl~ 👀

FINALLY MAMA TILLA MAKES AN (on-screen) APPEARANCE 😭😭Her whole vibe & Blitz's clear love and regret over what happened to her... hhhhh my whole heart ;n; 💔

That pink client lady (Rita, I think her name is?) who assigned the hotel mission? I dig her vibe, its cute~ :3

I.M.P. feeling like a legitimate workplace family for once, with even Loona & Moxxie getting a nice lil moment towards the end?? More. Of this. Please. 👌👌

Even with the lil undertones of the Stol*itz drama from the past couple eps, I very much appreciate Blitz (+the show itself) acknowledging that what's been going is NOT a breakup ('cause... yknow, they never actually dated to begin with lol🤷‍♀️). It may not 100% fix how messy that particular narrative's been handled as of late (which I'll get to in a sec-), but eh... its a start in the right direction, I guess? .3.

Enjoyed all the colorful flashback looks given, never would I have thought I needed mercenary!Millie with a fluffy ponytail til nowww hlkjlk😩❤️

Aaaand as for the not-so-good bits (imo), aka the Cons:

Pacing felt kiiiinda all-over-the-place, I'll admit; like one min we've got a whole intro & a half to deal with Blitz's whining fest (+some other pointless banter at the hotel)... then the next it feels like we're breezing past Rolando's whole presence as the "big bad" villain. Which... idk, I guess I shouldn't be too harsh on given the production drama behind-the-scenes (aka: the leaked content that had to be cut & redone awhile back)... buuuut yeah, its just one of those things you can't help but take notice of, critique-wise lol 🤷‍♀️

The humor wasn't... exactly at its strong point here, mainly just a lil overdone in the sex joke department imo though I guess thats kind of "par-for-the-course" in the Hellaverse series nowadays, so lol

Now, idk if this may be an unpopular opinion or not; but was I the only one who felt like Blitz's month-long mope fest over Stolas was rather... OOC, all things considered? .-. Like, okay its one thing for Blitz to still be (understandably) upset over how the last two eps went down (but being the "boss" he is, continues working anyway to keep I.M.P. afloat, like in the latest HB shorts)... but for Blitz of all people to just randomly use ALL his company's funds on useless junk, force his daughter Loona to stay up all night/not go home, drive Moxxie in a panic from all the budgeting issues this past month was just... wut- 🤦‍♀️ ...Mind you, this is meant to be the SAME Blitz who not even a few episodes ago begged Stolas to not take away the Grimoire (aka the key to his + his employee's livelihood), clearly being willing to do anything to not lose all that he holds dear. You seriously expect me to believe he'd be the type to throw that all away (for a WHOLE month)... all to simply whine over some blue-blooded bird not noticing him? ...Yeaaaaah sorry, but I'm gonna have to call bs on that, chief- 🙄

Kiiiinda tying in the last point, but as much as I enjoyed the tense thills gained from the "Rolando enters Blitz' mind to make him see his own flaws/past mistakes" sequence... I do have a few issues with some of these other "flashbacks" added to the mix: 1) Loona's groin kick towards Blitz in "Seeing Stars" (*wasn't Blitz's fault since ALL he did was tell her to be nice to clients... and was right about to apologize to Loona just seconds before the kick 😒*) 2) Blitz pushing Stolas' hand away in "Ozzies" (*which Blitz only did after Stolas hide his face/didn't defend Blitz during the song*) 3) Stolas' hurt expression at the end van scene of "Ozzie's" (*mind you, taking place while Blitz is rightfully standing up for himself/telling off Stolas for being a privileged creep all of S1*) 4) Stolas trying to present the Asmodean Crystal gift in "Full Moon" (*a whoooole mess in of itself I already covered prior-*) 5) Stolas angrily walking away from their pool fight + trash-talking Blitz in the "Motherf**kers" song + drunkenly dumping his problems on him + making out with a whole other dude in front of Blitz (*again, a huge mess I covered prior but TL;DR... most of that WASN'T fully-Blitz's fault in those instances??😑*)

Like... I dunno man, I don't mean to sound like I'm just ragging on Stolas per-episode as of late... but these last few points just keep giving me mixed signals than any genuine idea as to WHY Blitz even has these "feelings" growing for Stolas, atm?🤨For any canon couple in fiction, I WANT to see reasons for why they work best together, what kind of interests/aspects they've got in-common, what special "spark" is there that helps them stand out above all the other dynamics in-canon... but from what I see so far on Blitz's end (& the narrative continuing to guilt on him being "the problem")... it honestly feels more like he's only now fallen for Stolas out of pity... not because of any genuine affection or attraction :/ Which... ngl, sounds like a really sad precedent to send for a main-endgame couple, regardless of series genre imo... 🤷‍♀️

-------

Soooo yeah, all that rant-y rambling aside... not a bad ep in the grand scheme of things! 👍👍Here's hoping the last few remaining eps (+possible shorts) for S2 keeps up the good work! 🙏

[anonymitywriterprescott]

The ding of the door opening gets my attention, so I walk, minding the gap, onto the train. Looking around for a seat, I notice the empty train car and choose to sit close to the door.

I scroll on my phone as the train starts moving again. 6:09 pm. A call notification appears on screen as the ringtone echoes through the car, making it sound bigger and emptier than it is. "Babe <3" is calling. "Hello love, what's up?" "Sooo I may have promised a lovely homemade lasagna but we will probably be having your choice of fast food tonight instead." They say, sounding sorry as ever and a bit annoyed. "Oh noo, What happened? You ok?" "Yeah, no bruises, burns, or blood, but the oven shit the bed again, and I already called the office to see if and when it could get replaced this time instead of just a duct tape fix, but they said it would be at least 3 weeks." "3 fucking weeks? They expect us to not cook for 3 fucking weeks, really?" My voice is barely below yelling. "Hey, it'll be ok; I already texted my mom, I can go over tomorrow and premake some stuff, aaaand she's giving us her microwave because she never uses it, so we can reheat it all." Their voice sounds desperate to calm me, knowing how much I hate that stupid, old-ass, fucking oven. "I guess I'll need to sneak a $50 in her pocket because I doubt she'll let us pay for it." "You would be right. So, do you wanna pick up dinner on your way, or should I order delivery?" "Delivery," I glance at the time on my phone. 6:27 pm. "feels like the train is taking forever, and I don't wanna carry the food up the stairs." "Alright baby, text me what you want, Love you." "Love you, bye." I tap the end call button and go to our texts, filling out where to order from and what I want. The text continuously attempts to send but fails. I have no signal, of course.

The clock reads 6:30 pm. This route is usually like 10 minutes, and we haven't stopped moving, so why is it taking so long? The windows show only darkness and an occasional flash from the tunnel lights. I walk to one of the doors connecting the cars and press the button to open it, but nothing happens. Same with the second door. A bright white light floods the car, but it's gone before my eyes adjust. The text continues failing to send. No signal means I can't call anyone or look up anything about train delays. The clock reads 6:30 pm. Still? I look at the walls to see if there is an emergency or call button or something that says a phone number to call if I get signal. Nothing. The clock reads 6:30 pm. I stare at my phone. 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi… …59 Mississippi, 60 Mississippi. The clock reads 6:30 pm. Maybe I was a bit off on my timing, I tell myself, waiting for the minute to pass. It doesn't. The clock reads 6:30 pm. Finally, soft light seeps through the windows. Outside, a dim forest, trees with twisted limbs, and long-hanging vines whizz by. Every so often, I think I see a creature, but it looks… wrong. One of them was a deer, but the antlers looked like its legs? So time is… frozen, I can't get off the train, I am alone, and I'm seeing things?

"You're not seeing things, darling." A voice comes from the other side of the car. Startled, I quickly turned to see it. A tall, rectangular figure, wearing a red hat whose top scrapes the car's roof, whose brim covers its face, and a matching red suit that looks like it's made of silk. I stare wide-eyed, not knowing what it is or its intentions. Or why it can hear my thoughts. But I keep calm, "What am I seeing then?" "Not the thing you think." It says, speaking "That's upsettingly vague." "It's more literal than you realize." It cocks its head as if it's examining me.

Its face.

It feels like it's… out of focus? No matter how hard I try, I just can't quite… see it? "Don't hurt yourself." It says, looking me up and down. "Look at the wall if it helps." It sounds annoyed at my existence. Like my inability to see its features is an inconvenience of the highest accord. "May I have your name?" It reaches out its hand as if it expects me to give it something. Its hand has long, thin fingers that come to a point, like a pale grey claw, which turns pitch black towards the fingertips. "Only if I can have yours," I reply, using the same reply my mother always gave when people asked for her name. "Not worth the trade… no offense." It sneers at the end. "But your mother taught you well. Did you come here intentionally?" "Well I got on the train intentionally, but where ever we are now was not where I wanted to go." "And where do you wish to go?"

"Home." "Home it is."

My eyes close, and I feel a rush of air circle me. As the air dissipates, my eyes open, and I am in front of my apartment door, plastic white bags containing our dinner at my feet. The door swings open, and I see my partner's face and baggy pajamas. "Hey baby, good timing!" Silence fills the air, I try to speak, but my voice feels stuck in my throat. I can't wrap my head around this. "…baby? You ok?" Their hand strokes my shoulder, a slight touch, yet it feels like it drags my soul back into my body. I gasp, startling my partner. "I… don't know how… I got here…" I stumble out. "Well, you got here, and you seem unharmed. Come inside, love." They guide my arm, pulling me inside. As I walk into the apartment, I look for my phone, finding it in my pocket with a small, folded piece of paper that reads, "Safe travels, darling. Your mother says hello." The clock reads 6:30pm.

THE EX-MORNING Q21: THINGS ARE GETTING SECRETIVE

We're in the final days of filming, folks! I'm a little sad that I won't be following the Developing Story of "The Ex-Morning" anymore, but soon we'll have an entire series instead! :')

Regarding dates, we've heard from staff that filming will wrap on Wednesday, April 9th. On Saturday the 12th, last year's "Peraya Party Begin Again" will air in the slot recently opened after "US the Series" finished on the 5th, so it seems we have confirmation that "The Ex-Morning" will be taking over the Saturday slot just like its predecessors "SOTUS" and "SOTUS S" did before.

Now for the goods. :D

We've got a li'l poster of the scene from Q10 on the right and a blurry preview screen on the left.

Zero idea of what that could be right now, but it'll be fun once the series airs to piece together what we're seeing now with what makes it onscreen. That's actually a big part of why I decided to document everything. It wasn't just so I didn't spend the time climbing the walls backwards and barking at the doorknobs.

Y'know, when I was at the Grammy building in 2023 picking up my KristSingto plush dolls from the shop, they were taking down the "Be My Favorite" poster from the Currently Airing wall, and I was like, "Can I have it?" in a kind of I'm Joking Joking Ha Ha No But Really tone and of course the guy was like, "LOL no." What I'm saying is, next time I'm in arm's reach of a poster I want, I'm gonna jump out the window with or without a parachute.

So it seems they were at an office all day today, and they were in the news studio yesterday. My guess is that they're shooting scenes for the end of the series. They've likely been shooting with the understanding that the initial episodes would have to be finished and ready to air by now.

Also, director Lit appears to have a cameo! A special guest on the news, maybe?

The big updates were about food support:

…with a li'l cameo from Singto. <3

They also seemed to have some concerns about the weather (although the sky looked very cool to me), and in the captions, they were making puns off the series' Thai title, "Because the Ex Changes Frequently."

As explained by @hallowpen:

"There's a saying in Thai that we use pretty often to sort of describe the way weather patterns exist here that is เพราะสภาพอากาศเปลี่ยนแปลงบ่อย which would literally translate to 'because the weather changes so frequently.' The Thai title for TEM is a play on that (เพราะแฟนเก่าเปลี่ยนแปลงบ่อย) which literally translates to "because the ex changes so frequently."

The Thai title is essentially giving the audience an idea of how Krist's character (Pathapi) perceives Singto's character (Tamtawan).

And it seems today's weather was giving similar vibes.

You can see some more dramatic looks at the sky along with food support and some iconic Jamie selfies in the clips below:

Aaaand that's it for Q21! Nothing from the official account today, and we only have Qs 22 and 23 left, so I'll make the most of whatever we're given! \:D/

See y'all tomorrow!

Special reporter out~

[nosyp]

Boy you just my sneaky link

Warning = sneaky link, mentions of cheating, elon musk, suggestive

Pairing = Elon Musk x reader

Summary = You're his sneaky link... and one day your phone blows up with... news of him?

Word count = 3.3k words

A/N = NO. I'm not ignoring requests. I'm just feeling... different today. Also Ik I said no irl people fics but for controversial people it's a diff story.

It’s 3 AM, your phone won’t stop buzzing, and no, it’s not because of the “friends” you told my mom about.

Elon Musk’s name keeps flashing across my screen, and you’re pretty sure the last text you got from him was a screenshot of a bank transfer or some shit. Whatever, who needs sleep when your phone is practically demanding attention, right?

You tried to ignore it as best as you could but you just couldn’t. What the fuck was it even about?

Reluctantly, you picked up your phone and squinted your eyes at the glowing notification. 

‘Elon Musk announces a secret partner’

…What the fuck?

All you could do was just stare at the screen in disbelief. Was this the man you’ve been hooking up with?

When you two first started, both of you swore to never take it seriously. No telling anyone else. No telling friends. Not even talk about each other outside of your business. But of course you stupidly trusted the billionaire. 

You couldn’t lie. You honestly started falling for him, despite his eccentric character. But he won you over. You couldn’t tell if it was the intelligence… or the money… or real love.

The fact that he really dared to betray you like this was… enraging. You weren’t sure if he was trying to piss you off about it or he was talking about a completely different person. After all, who knows how many girls he’s hooking up with besides you.

The thought made your heart race in annoyance. You should’ve trusted your gut that he wasn’t a good man. Of course the billionaire had to just go and announce your whole thing to the world.

But, you were much too tired to even try him in the middle of the night. Later on the day maybe you’ll barge into his office if he really wants to make your relationship public.

—

Aaaand… you stayed true to yourself. You actually dared to barge into his ‘tesla’ building and confront him in front of everyone.

You stormed into the Tesla building like you were about to set the place on fire, all while trying to keep the seething rage bubbling inside you in check. It was bad enough he’d been sending you a stream of those weird ‘business’ texts for weeks, but this? This was too much.

You pushed past the security guards like you owned the place. I mean , if you were a secret partner of THE Elon Musk, you technically have the right to walk into his office uninvited.

The door swung open and there he was. Elon Musk, looking like the smug genius he thought he was. He didn’t even look up when you entered, too busy tapping away on his laptop. The nerve. The absolute nerve.

You were wearing the most formal outfit you had, a fitted skirt with a white buttoned shirt. Despite being formal, it still managed to show off your curves.

"Elon," you snapped, your voice cold as your patience reached its breaking point.

He looked up at you, eyebrows furrowed, blinking like a deer caught in headlights. "Uh, hey... What’s—"

You didn’t even give him a chance to finish his sentence before starting again. "What the fuck is going on?" Your voice was tight, barely keeping your composure. 

"What the hell do you mean, ‘secret partner’?" You flung your phone at him, the notification still flashing on the screen: ‘Elon Musk announces a secret partner.’

His eyes flickered down to it, and you could see the realization wash over his face.

"Wait, you saw that?" he asked, his voice a little too casual for the situation.

"Oh, I saw it. Do you know how betraying this is?" You glared at him. "We were supposed to be a secret, Elon. No one was supposed to know about us. But here you are, making it public like it's no big deal."

He leaned back in his chair, hands raised in mocking defense. "I didn’t think it was a big deal. It’s not like I’m married or anything. I’m just letting the world know I’ve got someone special."

Your blood boiled. "You think that makes it better? That you’re not married? That makes me a side chick in this weird billionaire fantasy, y’know?" 

You crossed your arms, doing your best to not storm out and leave him to drown in his idiocy despite being known as one of the smartest men in the world. "I thought we had a deal, Elon. No strings, no commitments, just keeping this between us. And yo-you just had to go and ruin it."

Elon sat up straight, finally sensing how serious this was. "I didn’t mean to make you upset," he said, voice softer now, almost apologetic, though you weren't sure if you believed it. "I just thought it was time. You know how the media can be when they think you're hiding something."

Honestly you forgot how tall he is, standing at 6’2. He’s practically towering over you. He was wearing his usual suit and tie with the same casual expression he wore.

You scoffed. "Right. Hiding something. You’re the one who decided to make it all public, Elon." 

You could feel your pulse quickening again. "I kept my side of the bargain and kept it out of the spotlight, kept it all secret. But now? You wanna turn it into a damn headline? For what? Just to look like some tragic genius with a ‘secret lover’?"

"That’s not how I see it," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck.

You shook your head. "I don’t care how you see it. You’ve turned me into a joke. And I’m not playing along with your sick fantasy anymore."

You turned to leave, but then something stopped you. A thought. One that made you want to punch him and kiss him at the same time.

"And just so you know," you said, voice dropping to a calmer tone, "if this is how you want to do it, don’t expect me to stick around as your 'secret partner' anymore. If you’re making this public, you better be ready for the consequences."

You turn to leave once again, but you can feel him watching you, waiting for the explosion of frustration that he knows is coming. Instead, you slow down, leaning against the doorframe, giving him a look over your shoulder.

"What, no apology?" you ask, voice a little too calm. "No explanation for ruining everything?" 

You let the silence drag on for a while, watching as his muscles tense.

"Maybe I don't need one," you add, turning your head just enough to catch his gaze, your lips curling into a teasing smile. "Maybe I’ll just take matters into my own hands, like I always do."

You hear him exhale sharply. "Is that so?"

His voice is low, dangerous, and it sends a shiver down your spine.

"You think you can just-" You cut him off with a step forward, your eyes locking with his. "Maybe I should show you what happens when you mess with me," you say, stepping even closer, your breath now mingling with his.

He leans in, almost closing the gap, but you keep it just far enough. "What happens when I mess with you?" His voice is thick with an edge, a little tension still clinging to it, but his hands twitch at his sides like he’s barely holding back.

The teasing grin on your face doesn’t waver, but there's something else underneath now… something more dangerous.

"You’ll find out," you whisper, then turn on your heel and leave, your heart pounding in your chest. The door slams behind you, but you can practically feel him hot on your heels, the game far from over.

—

You slam the door behind you as you storm out of his office, your head still spinning. The anger is hot and very much alive in your chest, but now it’s mixed with this disbelief. You’re so confused how he could just throw everything out into the open like that? You had kept your end of the deal, stayed quiet, and now you were a headline.

You could feel the weight of your phone buzzing in your pocket, but you didn’t care to check it. At least not yet. You needed space. You needed air. You needed out. The cool night air hits you as you step onto the pavement, your heels clicking sharply as you walk away from the building. You know you should be fuming, but part of you feels… like a weight has lifted. You're done with the sneaky link stuff. You’re done with Elon Musk’s games.

—

The next morning, you find yourself at work, back in your routine. It’s almost too normal after the chaos yesterday. The sounds of typing, conversations about deadlines, the endless drone of office chatter. It’s actually quite a nice distraction from your thoughts.

But then, just as you’re about to take a sip of your coffee, your phone buzzes on the desk. The screen lights up with an unknown number, and instinctively, you swipe to answer.

"Hello?" you say, your voice still carrying that edge from the night before.

"Hey, girl. You’ve got a visitor," your friend says, their voice full of that knowing tone you hate when they’re about to drop something important.

You pause. "A visitor? What are you talking about?"

The pause on the other end is too long, and when they speak again, it’s with a smirk you can practically hear. "There’s someone here for you. Someone... big."

Your mind races. You’re not sure if it’s that chill you felt when you left the Tesla building or just the reality settling in, but you know exactly who could be waiting for you. The words from last night replay in your mind, making the blood run cold in your veins. 

"If you’re making this public, you better be ready for all of it."

"Who is it?" you decide to ask, voice betraying you as it comes out a little too calm.

"Well, you’ll just have to come find out." Your friend’s voice drops, and you can tell they’re dying to tell you more. More of what though?

Your heart races, panic and curiosity mingling in the pit of your stomach. You hang up before they can say anything else, your mind already whirling. You can’t avoid this anymore.

With one last glance around your office, you grab your things and head toward the door.

—

The elevator ride down felt like it takes forever. When the doors open, you step into the lobby, scanning the room for any sign of who could be waiting.

And then, like some weird joke, you see him. The one man you didn’t want to see, Elon Musk. Standing by the reception desk, looking entirely too casual for someone who just announced you to the world as his "secret partner."

He meets your eyes immediately, that same smug smile creeping up his face, like he’s the one who’s won. The fucker.

You want to turn and walk away. You want to ignore him, pretend you don’t care about how ridiculous this whole thing has become. But you’re not that strong. Not today.

With a deep breath, you walk up to him, forcing your best ‘I’m in control’ expression, even as your insides threaten to twist with frustration.

"What are you doing here?" You cross your arms, trying to look unbothered, but you can feel the heat of his gaze on you.

"Thought I’d drop by and see how you're doing," Elon says, his voice smooth, teasing. He steps closer, the tension between you two palpable. "I don’t think we’re done talking. Not by a long shot."

You narrow your eyes. "We are done. You made your choice, remember?"

Elon tilts his head, his eyes glinting with that all-too-familiar mischief. "Did I?" he murmurs, closing the gap between you. "Because if I remember correctly, you totally didn't walk out completely angry yesterday."

You can feel your heartbeat spike, but you refuse to give in. "You’re crossing a line," you say, voice low but steady. "You don’t get to decide when I’m ready to talk."

He steps even closer, and this time, you can’t stop the shiver that runs down your spine. "Then maybe it’s time you decide how this goes," he whispers, and suddenly the air between you is thick with something far more dangerous than words.

“I– I– no! You’re not even supposed to be anywhere near me.” you say, voice stuttering as you thought of what to say next.

“You sure? Because your co-workers just let me in… with welcoming arms too.” he responds, smirk still visible on his face.

“Ugh just fuck off,” you finally say.

“Hmmm… how about no? Come with me,” he responds sarcastically, almost passing off your response as inconsequential.

—

You thought you were done with him after that mess at work. You were absolutely sure you’d be left to drown in your anger, but of course, Elon Musk doesn’t do things the conventional way.

The drive to his manor was LONG. You swore it took forever, the awkwardness in the car was deafening. He didn’t bother to even start a conversation or anything, just stayed silent, looking out the window like he hadn’t just made your life ten times more complicated. You sat there fuming, your arms crossed over your chest, staring out the window.

You wanted to scream, to yell at him, to throw your phone at his head, but what would it do? He was impossible to get through to right now. So, instead, you stayed in your thoughts, the minutes dragging on and on.

Every now and then, you’d glance at him, your annoyance bubbling up at the calmness in his face. He didn’t even seem to be fazed by your silence. How was it possible he didn’t know what he just did to you?

Eventually, the sleek black car turned down a winding driveway, passing through large stone gates that felt more like a fortress than anything else. You couldn’t help but feel small next to his world. The drive was like something out of a movie, except you weren’t a star and this wasn’t some romantic scene. No, this was a goddamn hostage situation.

The car finally came to a stop in front of the grand entrance. You couldn't even process how massive his place was. It was more like a compound than a home. You stared at the towering marble pillars, the manicured grounds, and the gated entrance as the driver got out and opened the door for you. The sheer ridiculousness of this situation was almost too much to handle.

“Seriously?” You muttered to yourself under your breath. Of all the places to bring you, here was where he chose to take you. You were practically boiling, but there was no way out now.

Elon was already out of the car, standing at the entrance with a smug little smile on his face, like he knew exactly what he was doing. He didn’t even look at you when he spoke, just waved his hand toward the front door.

“Let’s go,” he said casually, like he wasn’t the one who’d thrown your entire world upside down.

You almost turned around and left right there. But then you caught sight of the massive doors, the house that probably cost more than your entire apartment building, and a wave of frustration hit you all over again.

With a roll of your eyes, you stepped out of the car, your heels clicking loudly against the stone driveway. You weren’t sure if you wanted to punch him or just leave, but you knew one thing and that was you weren’t leaving without answers.

“Do you always bring your… secret partners here?” You finally managed to say, your voice thick with sarcasm. “Or is this just a special occasion for me?”

He glanced over at you, his expression unreadable.

“Only the best for you,” he said with a smirk, clearly not sensing the anger radiating off of you.

You weren’t sure how much longer you could stand his smug face, but you followed him up the steps to the front door anyway. You had questions. Lots of them. And you weren’t going to leave without getting some answers.

The door swung open as soon as you reached the entrance, revealing a sleek, minimalist interior that screamed wealth from practically every corner. You stepped inside, taking in the large windows, the tasteful but undeniably expensive furniture, and the smell of polished wood and expensive cologne hanging in the air.

Elon led you through the grand hallway, not saying a word, but you could feel his presence like a constant weight at your back. He wasn’t going to let you leave, not after everything he’d put you through today.

You tried to keep your cool, but the frustration bubbling inside you was just too much to ignore. “Is this what you do, Elon? You make your secret partner feel like crap and then drag them to your mansion?” 

You bit out, walking a little faster to catch up with him. Your tone was sharp, but there was an edge of something else there too. It was hard to ignore the fact that, despite the anger, you were standing in his ridiculously lavish home, your body responding to the proximity, even if your mind screamed at you to stay angry.

He glanced at you briefly, his lips curving into that cocky, too-confident smirk that you just hated… and secretly loved.

“I’m sure you’re not complaining,” he teased, his voice low, like he knew exactly what kind of effect he was having on you.

You rolled your eyes. “Please. I’m not some-” But before you could finish, he turned on his heel so quickly, you almost bumped right into him. His eyes were dark now, a flicker of something else in them that made your stomach tighten.

“I don’t think you understand,” he said, his tone changing, serious now, like he was done with the act. “I’m not just offering you a drink or a place to crash.”

You raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling the air thicken between you both. “Oh? What are you offering, then?” Your voice came out softer, almost daring him to make the next move. You weren’t sure what was going on, but this tension was... palpable. You were standing there in his lavish home, the same guy who’d just blindsided you in front of everyone. And yet, you were still here, following him deeper inside.

He took a step closer to you, way too close for comfort, or maybe just the right amount. “I’m offering you the truth. The reality of what you and I have.” His hand brushed against your arm as he walked past, and you couldn’t ignore the spark that shot through you at the simple touch.

You hesitated, still angry, still wanting to make him regret everything, but a part of you wanted to lean into the energy between you, feel the heat that was building.

“Let’s see if you still want the truth once I’ve shown you what this is really about.” He paused, looking back at you over his shoulder with that same infuriating smirk, but this time, it had a different edge. Like he was daring you to call his bluff.

And you wanted to. So badly.

But you stayed silent, the words caught in your throat, replaced by the pounding of your pulse in your ears. Whatever happened next, you knew it would change everything.

Elon turned and led you deeper into the mansion, and as you followed him, you couldn’t shake the feeling that you were stepping into something far bigger than you’d ever expected.

Over analyzing the intro of LWD because it drives me crazy each times i watch it and look, look what this show made me do, over-analyzing an Canadian Disney serie from 2005 i was barely one at the times that i didnt know the existence until last week...

so.yeah. I dont skip the intro. i like the funky little song. the family vibes. the early 2000's serie vibes. but also. lets talk abt this very interesting moment where she says SO MANY CHANGES IT MAKES MY HEAD SPIN.who's the camera chooses to focus on????? DEREK???????!!!! (you can even replace this particular expression with synonym having less 'romantic ' connotation..)

crazy

mad

insane

and youre still get the romantic vibes BECAUSE:

after all the 'i got new school, new house', here's the screen when we hear Casey's line aaaand:

hes smug. of course. girl just said YOU MAKE HER HEAD SPIN.

Then he smiles. of course he's gonna smile. girl said YOU MAKE HER HEAD SPIN.

Full smile. Okay. Sure, lets say its for the camera, not for your newfound crush huh sister, sorry.

Then we have....whatever going on here...which is...awkward Derek???? because your crush just smiled at you, her eyes ✨ sparkling✨(she's happy because you look nice)

then, re-awkward Derek but at least he's smiling 'yeah, methink she's.. weird...but I...kinda..like that??😃'

They really said lets make her spin with her new brother in case they dont understand who exactly makes her head spin.why did they do that????.. ..they look so..happy here???? not at all at each others throat or pissed off.. (maybe it was just Derek being Derek again and mocking Casey, so making her dance was a way to 'humiliate' her, again but methink its overanalyzing these microseconds.......)

More of me overanalyzing Dasey and just LWD shitpost to come because these 2 selfish idiots got me alright.

Center City Chronicles: Tzu-tza X Anya

So in an effort to make sure I write this whole book out, I'm gonna be posting chapters here. Hope ya'll end up enjoying the story, it's my Lemurian universe I'm trying to flesh out. I'll still be doing Oc x reader posts in between when I get writer's block with the series though.

18+ story, but this first chapter I don't think would be considered NSFW, but I still am putting a cut to stay consistent since next chapter gets slightly steamy. Also feel free to comment constructive criticism, It'll help me make this enjoyable for all of ya'll reading this for the long run!!

Chapter 1 Tzu-tza

Tzu-tza’s tail wrapped around the rolling chair’s leg in his excitement. Today was to be the day that he was moving ground cities… ok so it was only going to be for a month, but he had high hopes that it would end up being permanent. He spun in the chain while he waited for the holo vid connection to finish trying to connect to Anya’s. 

“Anya…”, he sighed dreamily. She was to be his mate or well, wife in human terms. She was human after all and he was trying to make a point of incorporating the terms of her people into his vocabulary, but he still liked the term mate more. It felt more significant that the description that pulled up when you searched for the word wife. 

As he continued to daydream about her, the chime of the holo connecting made him jump and nearly topple from his chair as he flinched backwards, and then scrambled to both fling himself to face the holo vid and right the chair before he fell.

“Snnck,” Anya made a sound, trying to keep from snorting at what he was sure was what she saw on screen. Just seeing her, and hearing her mirth kept him from feeling too embarrassed by the situation.

“Anya! You uh…” He cleared his throat and steered the conversation away from his moment of clumsiness. “How are you on this fantastic day, love?” He beamed at her and she mirrored his happy expression while he leaned in, staring at her lovingly. 

Honestly, how did he ever get so lucky as to meet her on the dating nexus. Out of all the humans still alive after the invasion that had rocked both their worlds, he had found her. ‘Anya…’, he thought to himself happily as he waited for her to recount her day so far.

It was early in the day, so he was sure not too much had to have happened yet, but he still wanted to check in on how she was since last night. Was he clingy? Sure maybe some people would think that way, namely the females of his race, but Anya was different, she didn’t mind if he clinged a little… or alot at times.

“Good so far, finished packing this morning so I should get there by the time you get through your side of customs. What about yours Tzu-tsa?” He would never get over hearing her say his name. Alot of his fantasies were just of hearing it sighed from her lips.

“Fantastic! I’ve been packed since last night, aaaand…” He drew out the word as he bent over to open his duffle bag and pull out a fabric wrapped gift, before sitting back up and showing the small bundle with a grin. “I have a gift for you.” He finished, hoping she would be happy to know he was bringing her something. 

“Oh Tzu-tza, you didn’t have to do that.” She said, face falling slightly and he swallowed, not sure why she wasn’t excited at the idea of getting a gift. His eyes darted to it quickly and his smile lost a bit of its luster. Was it too small? Is it because he ruined the surprise of bringing a gift in a roundabout way?

“I wanted to,” He tried to reassure her, “Really, I just brought it up because I didn’t want to forget to give it to you if I got carried away when I see you later today. Do you not… want it?” He trailed off, second guessing the gift idea. 

“Oh no no. I actually love that you got me a gift, because I’m bringing you one too. I just don’t want you to feel like you had to go out of the way for me.” Anya said softly, her features brightening back to her earlier expression and Tzu-tza felt relieved that he hadn’t done something wrong with bringing the gift up via holo. Though he didn’t like that she thought he went out of his way to get her one.

“Oh good, I was worried… I mean good about you wanting the gift, not that…” He was munching his tail fur with this. Why did he still get so tongue-tied around her? Sighing, Tzu-tza slumped in his chair slightly. “Sorry, I suppose I’m just nervous since we finally get to meet in person.” He admitted softly and Anya’s expressions softened so that she smiled lovingly back at him at the admission.

“I know saying, “Don’t be” probably doesn’t help, but there really isn’t any reason to be worried Tzu-tza.” She began and it only slightly helped his nerves, but he appreciated her attempt. “Though I’m a bit nervous too.” She whispered conspiratorially and winked in a way that had him snorting and relaxing further.

After that, a few hours went by as they chatted about any and everything before Anya had to reluctantly hang up so she could start heading to customs. Tzu-tza sighed as the connection ended and he stretched, popping his back and then tail, since it was an extension of his spine and also liked to kink up on him when sitting still for too long.

Looking around at his small apartment, he couldn’t say that he was going to miss it. He was met with four corner posts of cement, and whatever metal they used to construct the small dwelling, to help hold up the weight of the many floors above him. It was his, and he was grateful to have had it, but it wasn’t a home. Not really anyways.

At one point he had tried to decorate, but it was pricey and honestly he had never felt like wasting his credits on this place. His species female’s were so few now that he knew he had no chance with one of them. Nor did he really want to have had a chance.

They were larger than him, than any of the males of their species really, and highly aggressive. It was why they were out, above ground, on the ruins of Earth helping the human military defend the underground cities that everyone just shortens to the term ground cities, not wanting to be reminded where they lived. 

It was a quirk picked up from the humans, since his species was more than comfortable living below the surface. But the humans are who they all liked to follow along with in many of the trends. What with it being mainly the males of his species left, and almost all of them were enamored with the humans.

Slowly he got up and double checked his bag to make sure everything he was bringing with him was in there. Happy that he had everything he wanted to keep in the immediate month following today, he left his apartment with a grin. 

Here and there he saw males with their children, and he hoped to be like them one day. Anya having children didn’t really matter to him, sure he hoped she would have them with him one day, but if they never had kids? Well he would just doubly spoil her. But still, a small male with tiny toes and her adorable rounded ears would be a delight. Or even a spitfire of a daughter with talons would be just as charming.

Though, honestly, if they ever did have kids before above ground was safe, he would probably prefer daughters. A daughter would be able to protect herself a lot easier than a son would, but he didn’t like the idea of her going to the front lines if that was the case. Regardless, he would ultimately be happy with however their life turned out, because he would have a loving mate to call his own, and he was sure they would be mates. Because he had never loved anyone like he already loved Anya.

Lost in thought he didn’t realize how fast he made it to customs, and once he did? The nerves set in, hard. While he was elated to finally cross over from his ground city to the one connecting both his and the human’s ground city together. He couldn’t help the way his heart began to beat, nor the way his palms began to sweat.

What if his height actually ended up bothering Anya afterall? He was used to the attraction standards being an almost 180 from what the humans had. What if she saw him and immediately thought having a taller mate was grotesque? While he looked similar enough to her species, as humans and lemurians were close enough genetically that they were practically cousins. 

Plenty of hybrid children had already been born already from mating between the two species these past few years. Yet still he was a good foot taller than her at 7’1 and she being 5’6. He wasn’t used to that, and while he found the idea of a shorter mate charming - definitely all the easier to snuggle and love on - he also knew that human males didn’t normally have that sort of height advantage on their females either.

Pursing his lips he shook his head to try and clear his worries away. There was no use panicking over this, if she didn’t want someone taller she would have brought it up by now… he hoped at least. Then slowly, he made his way to customs.

ji str

he joins the server sees sausage and hes acutally relatively normal. a creeper tries to blow both of them up and jimmys annoyed that sausage didnt see it. eloise comes along and jimmy and saus do. a perfect harmony

eloises house/tent looks like a nipple. she says this and they both agree. sausage says something then jimmy threatens to kick him

sausage has a dangerous bridge and when eloise asks for rails he says the dangers part of the fun

they split up and jimmy mutes to talk about the tuff blocks. sausage comes over and punches him and jimmys like yes sir? ...?????

sausage wants jim to watch a sausage clip. they talk about tuff blocks for a bit then jimmy goes to watch it. its a clip of sausages pov of the creeper and its not on his screen at all. nobody can see the creeper. they think its invisible. jimmy apologises and theyre both really confused

jim goes tuff mining and talks to chat for ages. hes texturing his build :3 really hard to get a good screenshot cuz he moves so much but it looks great

jimmy sees sausage and eloise and goes over to their cave. sausage says theres lore in the cave and jimmy threatens to kick him again. (the "lore" is firing wind charges and being like oooohhh spookyyyyy wind coming from the floor!!!!)

someones been leavings chests full of armour in eloises house and jims like thats probably sausage. and when he denies it they run away and split up.

jimmy goes to a trial chamber alone to pick up some copper bulbs. he immediately spawns some cave spiders but hes all fine. he doesnt get distracted! he gets some bulbs a couple doors then leaves.

olis in chat and jimmy shows off his cave house. he calls it "our house" which is very sweet...... they will always be real

he needs some moss so he decides to bonemeal it like. right behind sausages place. maybe 20 blocks or so away from it. which made me giggle

he adds in all the copper bulbs and. its so cute. i love his little cave so much.

he breaks his spruce doors to replace them and theres just a zombie waiting outside for him. a polite guest. kind of forgot they dont break wooden doors

hes so happy about his build he wants to show it off. sneeg comes over cuz hes mad someone stole all his eggs and released all his chickens (???) and jimmys like haha do u like my base :) and sneegs like yeah before continuing to talk about the chickens. normally i would get a little annoyed about him being brushed off but the chicken situation is SO baffling???? its probably martyn since he wants to build where the chicken farm was but like. if it was martyn he probably wouldve just killed all the chickens first before breaking things. since they were in a little fenced off area it wouldve been easy. but theres just chickens EVERYWHERE

sausage comes over and he loves jimmys build so much. its very cute actually. he compliments jimmys texturing and calls it lovely. then he unwaxes one of jimmys lights and says he loves waxing off in jimmys room. then sausage dips and returns to give jimmy some glowberries and glow lichen :)

he brings a couple lilacs over too and tries to place them but theres no dirt where jimmy wants to place them. sausage mines a single piece of dirt off the side of the land theyre on (the lip oli built. its like a floating bit of land attached to the side of the donut) and jimmy gets so annoyed at him for breaking it

aaaand stream over tomorrows probably hardcore again. wednesday a coop game with martyn oli and saus. thursday little nightmares. friday manhunt. wooooooo

YAYY JI STR

I. I need to see that part of Sausage punching Jimmy and Jimmy going "yes sir?" for myself. sometime when the vod is up. =???

Yessss though Jimmy's so good at building!! In the last "build and seek" vid too, he did some fantastic texturing imo. BUT ALSO him being proud?? And not immediately dismissing himself like "no it's bad" or "no I'm stupid" like he's prone to do??? Oh it's heaven on earth. He's proud and he stays proud and he shows his little cave off to others... ohhhh Jimmy ohh I'm so PROUD OF YOU. IM SO PROUD OF YOU. BE PROUD STAY PROUD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS SWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jimmy calling his home "our house" with Oli is so beautiful ur so right. There's always something with Jimmy and homes in all the. trauma. so this makes me want to both smile and cry doubly so

Sausage and Jimmy being genuinely cute makes me grit my teeth because I'm too tense. Anticipating something horrible. But for now. Just for now... They can be cute... Can you be like this more often Sausage then maybe I will like you. All of this minus the "I love waxing off in your room" thing please and thanks. But the lilacs lmaooo what are you trying to do Sausage. Its not going to work. This bit about trying to create the 2nd flower husbands was comedic the first time at most. Now it's just stale and annoying, this and last time. like 90% of your sex jokes sorry I am being a hater. Tired of being nice. Need to be a hater. Being a hater but need to keep up with everything that is Jimmy. I need to see and hear about his character development even if the surrounding context sometimes makes me want to pull my eyes out

Clear Shots in MILGRAM's T1 -Es Cover- videos: Magic

the fact that the amount of screen tearing/obscuration varies wildly during the Es cover videos feels important, but I don't feel like interpreting what it means. Though I am pretty sure it means something.

And honestly, if any of these videos makes that clear post-T2, it's Amane's song Magic:

(rest under readmore)

0:00-0:06 - A slow panout on Amane in front of a stage, facing it, back to the audience. Her hands are tucked behind har, fingers curled, the appendages likely touching one another but clasped together, before cutting to a closer up view of her head/shoulders.

Honestly, most Es cover videos start out with at least a few seconds of clear footage, to the point where I might just brush it off as a way to focus the audience on the screen. But, seeing as one video stands in exception to this, I can only assume that these moments are also important.

0:08 - Amane, now facing towards the audience, small smile on her face.

If you wanted, this part could instead be described as "Amane turning to the audience with a smile, but the moment of the turn itself is cut with distortion."

Aaaand it's only after that moment that the visual static becomes the norm, which only lets up at

0:52 - Amane, smiling, arms connecting above her head to make an O-shape. She's standing in front of the scene with Yuri + the animals, almost entirely obscuring Yuri from view.

....I just noticed something about this screenshot which could have Pretty Horrific symbolic weight if it was intentional, but methinks I'll leave it to y'all to figure out.

1:32 - blink-and-you-miss-it clear frame of Riyone, a nonhuman mascot-type character similar to the ones Amane has been interacting with.

Not always sure if the blink-and-you-miss-it shots are Supposed to be Significant or not due to how quick they are, but I figure it's still worth mentioning this one.

2:01-2:15 - the entire "Amane secretly takes care of the injured cat and The Mascots Are Angry" sequence, ending just before the cartoony abuse scene.

if you can't guess, it was this whole bit being unobscured (what with our Post-Purge March context) that made me pretty certain that We're Supposed to Pay Attention to Unobscured Moments.

2:29 - very quick series of three blink-and-you-miss-its of the cartoony solo amane abuse shots

Once again, very quick, but it felt like it might be worth pointing out. Especially since the alarm didn't seem to have a clear shot? (if there was and I didn't catch it, feel free to call that out)

2:36-2:38 - Amane eyes closed and praying, right before the magical girl transformation sequence.

2:47 - Magical Girl Amane with her winkyface and peace sign, holding up her tazerwand while the mascots cheer her on.

screenshotting some of these bits can be absolute hell, honestly

3:23-3:25 Blue Screen of Death Amane

Aaaand, that's it! once again, I'm not here to state what i think all of this actually means, just pointing this out as it might turn out the Es cover videos were actually made to help us better interpret what we're seeing in the videos themselves. If there's enough interest, I'd be willing to create similar posts for the other Es cover videos for people to ponder over!

Stargate is about hope and wonder and it gave me that.

Tower of God Season 2 (New Trailer with OP Theme) Thoughts

Hello everyone! I haven't done a pre-written post in a while (Did I ever?), so let me yap about the new Tower of God trailer! I wanna tell you guys my honest thoughts and initial reaction to certain scenes.

I waited so long for them to show literally anything else other than the same 12(?) scenes and even a sneak peak to the OP theme performed by NiziU. FINALLY! I will be yapping a lot so SPOILER ALERT FOR ANIME ONLIES

(Also if you guys like posts like this from me, I'll try my best to do this more often as opposed to pre-written reviews!)

Ok so first off I want to say, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I read this arc back in 2016...to see it finally animated, man. Not to mention, it has been like 4 YEARS since season 1. Time flies and a lot happened in my life in between that. I remember how I felt when the OP of the first season played and it hit me that the very first WEBTOON I have ever read, finally got an anime adaptation, which was something that felt impossible back then.

I AM HOPING THIS SCENE WITH ANDROSSI MEANS THAT THE NEW STUDIO WILL FOLLOW THE WEBTOON PROPERLY. Don't get me wrong, besides its flaws, I did love Season 1. However, I was upset with the needless changes they made and important scenes they removed. So I hope the new studio follows the webtoon. They should definitely re-establish how much Bam meant to Androssi.

Seeing Khun in season 2 artstyle is nice. Regarding the artstyle, this may sound weird but I liked season 1's a bit more. Season 1's artsyle felt more "unique" along with its vibrant colours. But, I'll admit, season 2's artsyle is definately more suitable for the long-run when considering how serious the story gets later down the road.

Okay, I'll admit. This scene felt a bit...stiff?? But that's not a big deal.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AND THEIR FRIENDSHIP GROW ALL OVER AGAIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

AND THE OP THEME FINALLY PLAYS! Now here's the thing. I listened to a few songs by NiziU and I won't lie, as nice as the songs were, I was unsure whether they fit the Tower of God tone. But I kept an open mind as I knew nothing about STRAY KIDS back in season 1 and now I listen to TOP and SLUMP so often and associate it with Tower of God due to the lyrics.

As for the sneak peak of RISE UP by NiziU, I like the song. I'm not obsessed over it, maybe I need more of it to form a solid opinion. However, I think it's fine overall! (Hopefully the song isn't wasted in the OP by the use of black screens and credits lol)

I LOVE THIS SHOT SO MUCH. THE DETAIL ON THE SHINSU IS SO GOOD. The lighting as well!

I like how they drew Viole's eyes here. He looks tired which honestly fits well given what he faced during his time with FUG. I don't remember if he looked like that in the WEBTOON whenever his eyes were shown but if it's an anime-original detail, I love it!

(I hope we see his bright eyes during the scene with Wagnan and Viole on the rooftop! Can't wait to see that animated!)

OH I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS FIGHT ANIMATED OMGGGG

Okay, this shot was kinda cool sorry guys I just wanted to say that.

AAAAND THATS ABOUT IT.

First of all, WAY BETTER TRAILER THAN WHATEVER THEY WERE SHOWING US BEFORE! Second, I feel a little more confident about season 2 now. It's alright. I feel like nowadays everyone expects MAPPA or UFOTABLE quality for every anime but this is fine. While I'll miss the season 1 artsyle that I grew to love, I look forward to see what the new studio has to offer.

ALSO KEVIN PENKIN RETURNING LETS GOOOOOO

I want to end things off by saying that when I first read this arc. I ADORED TEAM SWEET AND SOUR. I believe it was because they reminded me of Quinx Squad from Tokyo Ghoul :re...

I just love this team's dynamic and how well they play off eachother. It felt more like a found family. I understand people liked season 1's cast more but I have always been more partial to this team <3

I look forward to seeing them again in the anime cause I miss their early days so much. NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO ANY OF THEM OKAY? HELL TRAIN ISN'T REAL </3 (SIU please bring back the active members please I beg of you. SHOW ME THEIR SEASON 3 LOOKS)

Citra emulator: Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney trilogy

A hopefully comprehensive guide on all the malfunctions ive run into so far. Because honestly, ive recommended aa on citra to so many people, the least i can do is give yall a guide for when you run into problems.

Spoilers under the cut for aa1 (rise from the ashes mostly).

1. Ema's aluminum finger print powder (Rise from the ashes)

In the final case of the first game you meet the Skye sisters. Lana is the Chief Prosecutor and Ema is a high school student who wants to become a forensics scientist. In her guest to prove her sisters innocence Ema will employ a couple of tools like Luminol blood splatter detecting spray and finger print detecting powder.

How does the aluminum powder work? You click on a suspicious surface. Make sure to cover all of the fingerprint with white powder/pixels!

And then what? This is an emulation of a Nintendo game. You are prompted to blow in your mic to blow off the powder and reveal the fingerprint. But well. You can't exactly do that now can you?

How can you get around this?

Maybe if you have a mic you could connect it to your laptop/pc and blow there but i don't know if that would actually work since i don't have a mic and therefore can't give it a try. But theres a way to get around this obstacle! A way that took me like an hour and a lot of research in ace attorney and emulation related forums to find 😭.

You will have to go on the top left corner of your screen and open the configuration option. I think.

Now as you can see my program is in greek which is not exactly making this easier to understand for the rest of you. But nonetheless we will persevere!

What you have to do is go Configuration -> sound -> microphone -> real device ??? It must say something like that. It might take you a little bit of trial and error but you can find it. Try a few of these choices and see which one works. This will make your laptop/pc pick up on the games music and use it to "blow away" the powder by itself. Problem solved <3

2. Playing connect the dots with Ema's name (Rise from the ashes again)

In the final day of the trial we have a piece of evidence that almost everyone hates: that goddamn jar. Aside from its ridiculous resemblance to that monstrosity the blue badger when you rotate it in a highly specific way, this jar holds yet another secret. And that secret is a name written in blood that seems to have been wiped off. We are asked to "connect the dots" to prove whose name is written there. Normally connecting the dots would make red lines appear on the jar that make up Ema's name but well. If this worked as intended i wouldn't be making this post now would i.

When playing in Citra the lines won't show up. Nevertheless, you can still beat this new obstacle: just connect the dots anyway. Be extra careful: you don't want to forget one of the smaller ones. If you connect them all and present the evidence in court the game will progress as it should. Personally, when i was playing i kept forgetting to connect the top right dot in M and got penalised a few times too many over it. I suggest starting from the bottom of E and progressing carefully from there.

Ema's name wiped off the jar's surface.

Ema's name after you've connected the dots or how it would look if citra hadn't messed that one little detail up.

Aaaand those are all the malfunctions i stumbled upon on aa1. Honestly, could be worse. And they were both on the same case too, so maybe there won't be any more trouble in the rest of the trilogy games. But if i find any more i will come back and update this post. It will probably take a while tho, im very slow when it comes to video games.

Seeing Def Leppard and Motley Crue at the Stadium Tour in Bramall Lane, Sheffield - 22/05/2023✨

Ok I’ll try and keep this as brief as possible, but I also want to include as many fun details as possible! also how has it been eXACTLY ONE WEEK since this happened aAAAH??? (from when I'm posting this at least)

Before the Show

So we started queuing at 8:30am, and we weren’t even the first people there! There was a group who had been queuing since 4am!

We immediately clicked with this group and we ended up becoming great friends, and they made the experience much more enjoyable!

I also had a few issues with my ticket, as I needed to print it but never got the chance (story for another day)  so I had to go down to the ticket office like three times😅

Just before we went in the nerves suddenly hit me: I HAD to get my spot that I’d queued 7 hours for.

As soon as I was let in I got the biggest adrenaline rush of my entire life, and although the staff were telling me not to run, I ran, and they didn’t stop me.

And I got a spot at the barrier with my friends! 

it was at this point that reality started to set in...

after 7 months of waiting for this very moment I was HERE 

Vivas came on after about 45 mins and they were AMAZING???

I was just looking at Tyler the entire time tbh bc he looks sO MUCH LIKE SAV ITS AAAAAA

also the lead singer was absolutely losing his mind at how big of a gig this was for them and I felt so happy! His joy was honestly infectious and I think they’re gonna do great things!

Mötley Crüe

After Vivas it was about a 30 min wait until Crüe, and every time we thought they had finished setting up the stage they added one more thing lmao

also Ryan was hanging around in the photo pit and he took our photo AWWW

I saw him the next day and he actually sent it to me, so now I have the very photo that Ryan Sebastyan himself took!

anyways the stage set up for Crue was just a little over the top imo perhaps to compensate whaaaat

they also had this extremely long opera(?) intro which just went on for way too long

and then they had that fuckin aLARM THING WHICH WAS SO LOUD

when the guys eventually did come on I will admit it was incredibly surreal... like tHAT is Nikki Sixx RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME??

Nikki was wearing the coolest jacket at first I want 23 of my own

Vince was uuuh Vince

like he wasn't terrible in person but listening back it is... not great

aNYWAY John 5 was actually so cool and fits in with them really well but he’s just not Mick Mars soz John

he also did this thing where he just drooled over the side of the podium?? like bro that was just so unnecessary JHGFGJK

also the music was just sO LOUD I found it hard to tell which some was which at first aND I WAS WEARING HEARING PROTECTION

at one point Nikki threw a bottle of Fiji Water and it landed right behind the security guard in front of me... I didn't want it😂

about midway through the set Nikki addressed the crowd and actually brought a kid up on stage and took a selfie with him which I thought was really cool!

Aaaand then Tommy addressed the crowd and asked women to show their tits🙃 and of course some did. oh Tommy 

then they played Home Sweet Home and let me tell you Tommy can sHRED on a piano

tbh the strippers (yes for those that dont know they have *female dancers* dancing on stage to some of the songs) were probably putting in the most effort out of anyone up there 

I think my favourite part was when they did the medley of covers, so Smokin’ in the Boy’s Room, Blitzkrieg Bop and Anarchy in the UK

they ended with Kickstart my Heart which was a lot of fun!

Def Leppard

it is TIMEEEE

there wasn't a long wait at all until leppard bc I think the show was a little behind schedule

but then when the countdown came on the screen it was the longest 6 mins of my life

and then Joe’s cover of Heroes came on and AAAAAAAH

THEN IT WAS THE INTRO TO TAKE WHAT YOU WANT

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

THERE THEY ARE DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST

it wasn't so much of a shock seeing them in person as I had seen them at the signing two days ago, BUT STILLL THATS THEMMMM

And Joe was wearing this soon to be ICONIC Union Jack blazer

Sav was wearing a polka-dot gradient suit (you know the one)

Phil and Viv were wearing THEE most gorgeous suits

Tho I'm kinda disappointed that Phil wasn't shirtless😪(jk)

And Rick in his sparkly tie dye shirt which I another thing I want 245 of

honestly the rest was a bit of a blur but in a good way!

I started losing my mind whenever they would come out onto the catwalk bc tHEY WERE SO CLOSE AND LOOKED ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

aLSO they're recording the performance for a DVD (I think) so hopefully we will be able to watch back the pro shot version at some point!

also I hope I'm in it bc at one point they were in the photo pit pointing a camera directly at me BBFJKBFJK

oh also Ross Halfin was there I forgot to mention that LMAO

I think during Armageddon It something happened in the crowd behind me bc the security guards were standing on the barrier basically leaning tf on me as if to get a closer look at what was happening 

so yeah I missed the majority of that song LOL and I never did find out exactly what happened, although I did hear that someone got escorted out 

also just before Love Bites my phone died so I spent the first half of that song faffing about with my portable charger which thankfully charged your phone super fast

they also played Promises which for some reason caught me right off guard? it was so good tho and I didn't realise how hard it went until I heard it live!

and then it was the acoustic section which I was looking forward to the most (tho I honestly think it got cut short bc they only played like two songs and the show was behind schedule) bUT IT WAS STILL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

This Guitar is my fave off of DSH and hearing it live was just incredible

I love how you can just hear all their voices so well

aLSO IT WAS DEDICATED TO STEVE😭

Joe also said that Steve’s mum was in the audience and I think everyone in the stadium started to cry

and then it was Joe and Sav’s lil duet in When Love and Hate Collide which was so awwww

I can’t believe I actually got to hear Sav sing irl sOMEONE RESUSCITATE ME

anyways moving on, hearing a stadium sing “ROCKET, YEAHH!” is a religious experience I stg and its just something that cannot be replicated in a video

OMG HEARTBREAK AND SWITCH WENT SO HARD

the power that Phil and Viv held while walking out together onto the catwalk playing mf Switch 625

and then they started playing Hysteria and everyone started crying again

also they did the new alternate ending and if you weren't crying before you were then sorry I dont make the rules

The last song was Photograph ofc and thy put a bunch of photos from the leppard archives onto the screens🥺

they also put a bunch of photos that Ryan took of the crowd and tHE ONE WITH ME AND MY FRIENDS WAS UP THERE AAAAH

and just like that, Kings of the World started to play

I felt like my entire life had been leading up to those 90 mins 

it broke my heart to walk away from the spot I had queued 7+ hours for, but my head was now full of incredible memories

bring on Wembley!

[itsdefinitely]

things i noticed on the opening night of beetlejuice at the national theater

putting a read more because this is a long post

-didnt change the whole being dead thing unfortunately :(

-there was no sandy in the whole being dead thing :(

-justin collette does what i can only describe as a gay voice (he also does The Voice really well; its consistent!!)

-at the pose for the whole being dead thing, beetlejuice motions for the crowd to keep cheering (a lot) until rhe crowd is screaming and then he starts. uh. well. hm.

-the purple curtains that are slightly open and emit smoke are used for scene changes

-"and then the b-man is free and the mai tais are on me" someone in the audience: "woo!" "yeah, woo. woos for all of us"

-beetlejuice does that thing when you pretend to walk down the stairs behind the couch

-they changed ready set not yet to be about wiring!

-the maitlands die of an electric shock instead of falling to their death

-beetlejuice exited stage right, and then walked down the stairs when entering next; he just kept teleporting around the stage like that

-when beetlejuice was being melodramatic about the puppet show, he got on the floor to keep screaming

-"that was one heck of a shock" dont judge me. i like the line changes.

-barbara dry heaves after finding out she died

-they kept barbara's hand being on fire!!

-during the whole being dead thing pt 2, beetlejuice reads off his hand to remember how to spell his name

-during the whole being dead thing pt 2, beetlejuice does a think where he pretends hes riding a horse (yknow at the end when the horse walking sounds happen)

-everyone started cheering when beetlejuice was doing the thing with adam on the chair… you know the one… so he KEPT GOING AND PRETENDED HE WAS RIDING A HORSE (a theme that may continue to appear later)

-okay i dont know how to describe it, but adam and barbara are played in a way that is Violently Bisexual (i love it so much oh my god)

-LYDIA IS PLAYED LIKE A TEENAGER!!

-i wasnt really sure about delia at first but i love that she mispronounces So Many Words (like. more than Leslie Kritzer did)

-instead of the house going back, the purple curtains lower again during dead mom

-THE COMEDIC TIMING ON "…aaaand thats how i got herpes."

"…"

"…"

"frOM KATHARINE HEPBURN!!"

-barbara and adam are so good auuughhhhhhh theyre so much more. i dunno. uh. in touch?? like, they feel less like dorks (still dorks though)

-when adam interrupts beetlejuice's soliloquy, theres like the biggest pause.

-"im sorry guys, ill pay you for the full day" as the soliloquy chorus is leaving

-"you make." dramatic pause "daddy." another dramatic pause "SO angry."

-i love barbara so much in this shes more of a girlboss than usual

-okay i know how to describe it now. there is so much like. body language in this. adam is a lot more raunchy, barbara is a lot more realistic (she flosses at one point), and there is SO much hip thrusting from beetlejuice (no t-rex arms though)

-they close the curtains again, and only half of it opens for delia's scene (amazing staging)

-delia doesnt do the fortnite dance during no reason

-lydia sounds so much more genuinely confused than amused when she says "is this still about me?"

-adam and barbara with sheets over their heads project on the screen behind lydia

-the curtains raise when lydia chases them, and its the attic again

-"perhaps i myself am strange and unusual"

-she sounds so heartbroken when barbara asks "and your mom?" "dead."

-"should we get the sheets?" "adam" "we should get the sheets" "adam." "no no no we should-" "ADAM" looks at each other walks offstage without the sheets (it was probably to stall for the scene change)

-like with no reason, half the curtain raises instead of all of it

-"i am very good at sex." its so funny to me because delia is played as So over-the-top and this is Completely deadpan

-lydia is so whiney (i dont know any other way to describe it) when she says "and their eyes are mad of the deeevill" it feels like a real teenager

-being able to hear every footstep after "i wish i were dead."

-half the curtain raises again, the opposite side to the previous scene

-no wig change :(

-they kept the extra arm/leg!!

-green lights when beetlejuice says "im gonna have a new best FRIEEEEEEEEEEND"

-this is mostly unchanged, but i love all of it anyway

-they kept beetlejuice burning the note

-when beetlejuice gets knocked off, theres a projection of the smoke ring

-say my name gets extended at the end!! at the "gonna make him say me name (make him sya your name)" part!! for an extra 2-4 bars i think

-ah yes. this is the scene.

-lydia pretends to do a ballet move (i cant remember what its called)

-delia isnt wearing lingerie, and her dress doesnt get ripped off

-everybody cheers for day-o (as they should)

-no pig, but we have the small plate with the meat hand on it, and maxie dean's wife says that line (the deep "daylight come and me wan go home")

-beetlejuice still emerges from the table!!

-all the green spotlights on him when he says:

-"it's showtime"

-HE DID THE. HE SAID THE THING!! HE SAID THE THING!!

-obviously, no big face and hands, but they hand wood/cardboard (cant tell which, probably wood) versions of them

-they keep the carnival projection on the stage

-"guess we're not invisible anymore"

-can i mention again the justin collette does The Voice??? its slkdkcidiwoksmcnskkw

end of act one

-SKYE!!

-theres no physical house prop, but the curtains are lowered and the house is projected onto it

-the projection and all the lights turn red when skye inhales deeply

-skye does her best not to look at lydia

-EVERYBODY LAUGHING WHEN "well we're really not supposed to" "why?" "pedophiles :]"

-i couldnt see it clearly, but i think skye had a fire instead of a flashlight

-"boo"

-this part is mainly unchanged too, but i really really like it still

-skye runs out the door (instead of walking up the stairs and disappearing)

-beetlejuice clones!!

-the pie lady actually catches the pie (when i saw it on broadway she didint)

-theres no "that looks like a penis" :(

-i love the npr tote bag. i kinda want one

-beetlejuice doesnt put on a sad little kid voice when talking about his mother drinking. its more like it happened when he was a teenager/young adult. he also doesnt do the "i shouldve left like your-" sad sad about to cry voice "father" he says the line, but his voice doent break. hes more mean

-"get her to marry me" clones: "huh????" "oh, its like a uhm. green card thing." clones: "ohhhhh" "yeah, yeah. strictly business"

-during that beautiful sound pt 2 (which i adore) beetlejuice makes a zip your mouth kind of motion when the clones are supposed to be quiet, which like. is that possession??

-the transition between these scenes is beetlejuice directing two of his clones to run in circles while the set around them gets moved

-i love the glowy effect with the book (also you can hear every page turn)

-picking up a metal detector "i never even used this. and then i felt bad that i never used it" pretends to use the metal detector "beep beep beep beep"

-"get right outside my comfort zone" LEANS TO THE SIDE AND RUNS HANDS DOWN TORSO

-delia jumping up on the couch

-delia and charles's dramatic sighing

-OKAY HOLY FUCK. THE WAY OTHO SAYS "toyota prius" BROKE MY BRAIN HE LIKE. THERES AN ACCENT AND HE ROLLS THE R

-i just. i like otho

-"the b is silent, but it still stings" "no, not that one" "why say doubt, when you can stop at do" "not that one" "doubt. it has a 'u' but it doesnr have a 'me'" "thats the one"

-"ugh classic maitlands. yknow what?" steps towards the edge of the stage, looking at the audience "theyre the real villains of this show" lydia: "what?" "nothing"

-"classic bait and switch, oldest trick in the book" looks off to the side and sighs

-"Normally, I perform exorcisms por bono, but you made me come to-" the most disgusted voice "-Connecticut"

-barbara still floats!!

-no wig change for the whole being dead thing pt 4

-theres still the fire clickers!!

-beetlejuice comes from the stairs instead of rising from the floor

-i never noticed this before but otho, delia, and charles get bound by chains

-adams mouth gets sealed shut its so cool aaae

-"i want you… to marry me!" everyone: "WHAT?" very exasperated "oh cmon guys its a greencard thing"

-good old fashioned wedding my beloved

-the door is still green and expels fog

-"classic bait and switch, oldest trick in the book!"

*pause*

"why does everyone keep leaving me :D" he doesnt even sound mad. then,

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

it went on for at least 30 seconds (probably more)

i cannot stress enough how long that scream went on for

-*holding his head in his hands, the most tired and defeated voice ever*

"alright. new plan."

"youre all going to die"

*happy cheery joyful*

"TOODAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY"

-flashing lights going on for forever as they change to the netherworld (i know it takes a bit to change scenes but my eyes Hurt)

-they do the thing with the white square things lighting up one by one

-miss argentina has a southern accent and mispronounces argentina

-IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOOOOWWWWW

-angry pygmys still shrunk his head <:(

-juno was like. too much for me i think. tone her down a little. also, she doesnt have the smoke machine that makes it look like she's smoking (still has a cigarette though)

-chase sequence!!

-lydia is genuinely so heartbreaking (she is usually but this show especially)

-theres no life or death sign (from what i saw) but the logo is on a podium with a sheet on it

-adams podium still says sexy-beetlejuice has a cool suit i love it!!

-he didnt really yell; the "where the contestants suck and the host is very angry" was all in the same tone

-"let me check my stocks"

*the sheet on the aforementioned podium is lifted, revealing otho/kevin in stocks*

-kevin offers to give beetlejuice his prius, claiming that "IT WAS A PLUG-IN" before hes wheeled offstage to the sound of wood splintering on impact

-"Mr. Juice."

-"HOLD ON JUST ONE DAMN MINUTE"

ill be honest, i dont know if it was because ive seen the show before (most likely) or if it was because adam was more bold throughout the rest of the show, but it didnt have the same impact. but this makes up for it:

-as adam is telling everyone everything, he gets close to beetlejuice to the point where they are inches apart and his hands are on beetlejuice's ass

-the kiss!! slay!!

-barbara is actually angry, and adam says "maitlands 2.0" to get her on the same page

-barbara cant kiss beetlejuice HAH

-"WAIT WAIT WAIT. this is all very

believable.

im a highly sexual being and i do love an orgy. but you all dont strike me as the orgying kind. except for her."

*points to delia*

"shes done some stuff."

*delia pauses, and then makes a big motion with her arms like "yeah you got me"*

-TEAR AWAY COSTUME!!

-his hair changes too!!

-GLITTER CONFETTI!!

-the lights still turn pink when

"i cant believe some cultures think this kind of things alright"

-OKAY BUT. BEETLEJUICE AND ADAM GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES ACROSS THE STAGE

-this part is very unchanged

-i love the living monologue. i love the birds and the stock song thay plays and the roller-coaster of emotions and the being hit over the head and the being stabbed

-juno is back!!

-"one minute youre on top of the world, and the next minute, you feel like no one will ever love you… this guy knows what im talking about!

i pick on you because i see myself in you. later tonight. say my name three times."

-"and you."

*dramatic noise the whole stage turns blue except for a spotlight on lydia*

-THE SANDY PUPPET!! EATS JUNO!! SANDY IS HERE!!

-"look lydia now we both have dead moms!"

*nobody onstage laughs, the audience losing their minds*

*pause*

*swinging the severed leg back and forth*

*uses the leg like a golf club*

"and a swing and a miss"

someone in the audience: "FORE!"

*flips them off* "three. fuck you."

-*in a scottish accent* "charles ya ripe old bastard never change"

"i already have changed. ive changed a lot."

*no accent* "well thennn... go fuck yourself"

-when beetlejuice and delia are doing… that thing during the goodbyes, beetlejuice pretends to ride a horse towards delia (told you the theme would return) and she pretends to ride a horse when he gets close

-"dora" "delia" "we didnt hang out much"

-"i think ill miss you most of all. scarecrow. boop" *put cowboy hat on lydia*

-i love beetlejuice's exit so much, gets carried dramatically by his clones only to be put down right after

-"GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD. I’LL NEVER COME THIS WAY AGAIN! TELL MY STORYYYYYY"

*pause*

"this has been a strange day."

-lydia still floats during jump in the line/dead mom reprise

-"im home."

end of act two
