--

BILL:

・Oh my god he understands you bae.

・He did say if he had the chance he would sleep the rest of his life away

・Also finds this quite cute about you.

・In interviews if you just rest your head on his shoulder and doze off he smiles to himself, not knocking you off and instead just letting you sleep

・He knows you deserve it

・Or if y'all are just chilling on the couch and you fall asleep next to him he takes this as an opportunity to cuddle 🤗

・Wraps an arm around you as he rests his head ontop of yours, bringing your hand into his own as he rubs over your fingers gently, feeling himself grow tired

・Wouldn't really care if you slept in late

・He would too if he had the choice.

・Falls asleep with you, leading to you BOTH oversleeping

TOM:

・Actually gets offended if you fall asleep mid convo 💀

"M/N wake the hell up, I'm not that fucking boring!"

・If you fall asleep on him in interviews he blushes slightly, knocking yo gently a few times in your shoulder to get you up.

・Not that he doesn't like it, although he would never admit that.

・He'd tease you and compare you to a cat due to how much sleep you get

・It's all out of envy, he wishes he could sleep like you.

・Holds back a smile or laugh if you fall asleep on his shoulder when your out for breakfast or in the tour bus

・Cant bring himself to knock you off, instead wrapping his coat around your body.

・He loves you so much, and this part about you just makes him love you even more (if that's possible)

GEORG:

・Doesn't get why you sleep so much

・Nothing against it, he just likes being awake and shit

・He doesn't care if you fall asleep on his shoulder, infact he quite loves it

・Leans into your touch without noticing

・He gets annoyed quickly if you snore loudly though😪

・Ignoring the urge to tell you to stfu

・If you fall asleep during interviews he teases you about it, poking you a few times

・If that doesn't work he just ignores it, allowing you to lean on him as he lays his hand on yours.

・Telling you he loves you under his breath, knowing you can't hear him (or can you 😱😱)

GUSTAV:

・He gets so happy when you lean on him omg.

・Just likes being around you in general

・If he's trying to talk to you and you start to close your eyes, silently snoring, he doesn't know whether to feel offended or confused.

"..And he told me I didn't have a say in it. So then I told that son of a-..M/N?...M/N??????"

・Sighs to himself, he really wanted to tell you that story 😕

・He laughs in interviews if you fall asleep on him, telling you to wake up but making no effort to actually get you awake

・He wants you to get up but at the same time he doesn't.

・Feels himself grow tired around you

・Like if you yawn alot or just doze of it makes him want to sleep too 💀

omg hi i haven’t requested in a while and I JUST THOUGHT ABT A FLUFF!!!! samuel as a sunshine kpop idol’s bodyguard (yk how he’s rlly cold and quiet but he just melts whenever he’s with them)

Hey anon! Soooo sorry about the delay (and also to everyone else who is asking). Samuel is still pretty cold and quiet here but he is so so soft for you/reader!

Samuel Seo x Idol!Reader: Bodyguard

A couple fluffy scenes

Samuel wonders how you can be so cute, even doing something as mundane as talking to a fan.

Your expression is genuinely soft and sincere as they pour out their appreciation for you. Samuel snaps a picture of the two of you, before sending them on their merry way.

Throughout the exchange, you had noticed Samuel staring, "What are you so happy about?"

"I'm not," Finally, he looks away.

"Then why are you smiling?"

Samuel schools his face. He is not smiling. You are not making him smile, damnit.

.

.

Your stomach rumbles yet again.

You're stuck on this godforsaken shoot, sitting aimlessly for hours while some other starlet throws a tantrum. You're bored, hungry and cold. Can this day get any worse-

"This is for you,"

Just as you're on the verge of throwing your own tantrum, Samuel thrusts a steaming bowl of soup under your nose.

"Sammy!" you jump to hug him as he struggles to not spill a drop, "You're the best!"

"...Don't call me Sammy."

.

.

Another day, another interview.

After being stuck in a stuffy conference room all day, you're finally rewarded with your freedom. Shame now the heavens have opened. You wait under the building awning, sighing to yourself.

"Here,"

Samuel angles his umbrella over you as a side of him starts getting drenched.

"God, Sammy," you hold on to his arm, snuggling up next to him, "I think I'm in love~"

He knows that you're likely joking, but his cheeks still flush crimson.

.

.

"Can we please just detour to get some ice cream?"

"No, you have an early start tomorrow."

Damn him! Samuel can be so stupidly strict sometimes. Yeah it's for your own good but you've had this craving for days now. Ugh. You stomp off ahead.

Someone jumps out at you from the shadows-

"OH MY GOD Y/N! Can I please get your autograph?"

Ah, just another overexcited fan. You plaster on your best sunny smile and take the profferred pad and pen, "Sure!"

You hand it back, goodbyes on the tip of your tongue - when he lunges and grabs hold of you, twisting your wrist painfully.

"Please let me show you my shrine!"

Shrine?? "No!"

"Come on!"

"Get off me!" You struggle to release yourself from his hold.

"Please, it won't take a second-"

In the blink of an eye, the guy is lying in a heap on the floor. Samuel looks at him in disgust, fiddling with the brass knuckle now adorning his hand.

The disgust melts away immediately to concern once he sees the distress on your face.

"Y/N, lets get you that ice cream."

.

.

You put on your most flattering poses for the paparazzi and fans, Samuel trailing close behind on the red carpet.

"Y/N! Y/N! Who's that handsome man next to you!" a voice in the rabble shouts.

"Oh, Samuel? That's my bodyguard!" You signal for Samuel to join you, which he does with an annoyed huff, "...And my boyfriend!"

You turn to grin at Samuel. His face wears his usual nonchalance, but you notice how his eyes have widened slightly in shock.

He leans in close. To the cameras it looks like a kiss on the cheek, and the crowd swoons accordingly, instead he murmurs, "Boyfriend, huh?"

"I know you're sweet on me. Don't lie, Sammy," you whisper back.

"Hmph," is all the response you get.

But you notice the hint of a smile as he threads his fingers through yours.

THIS SHIT TOOK SO LONG OMG...this is my first time dipping my feet in the water with a non-Fnf cover...the timing's definitely bit off and I have a crappy mic. I don't know if I even pronounced the interviewer lines right. I don't know Japanese, I just read the romanized lyrics.

This would work with any Fnf character, but I decided to pick Void since he really works with Vocaloid covers. Shoutout to @/y010isaghost for making some really awesome ones!

English lyrics under the cut!

― Well, thank you very much for being here today

Yes, it's nice to meet you

― Let’s start with a brief self-introduction. Whenever you're ready

I'm Anonymous V. I’m the one that kinda sings

Aaaah, mic test, test. Please don't identify me

― What's your favorite food?

Nothing. Because I'm not human

― Anything you enjoy doing in your free time?

Nothing. Because I'm not human

― I'm sorry, may I ask your age?

Twenty-two, forever

― Forever?

Because I'm not human. Because I'm not human

— That’s...cool. Anything on your mind recently?

My all-consuming side is annoying

Also, I don’t pronounce vowels, so whenever people call me a "Star"

I feel a little pressure

― I see, the A.C V. Is there anything else?

Yes.

Lately, [BEEP]break doesn’t let me sing Some start singing by themselves, switch characters Lose interest and so on

But I understand they each have their own situation

It would be a burden if I hold them back

I'm okay as long as everyone's happy!

― That's life, isn’t it?

No, because I'm not human

I'm Anonymous V. I'm the one that kinda sings

I'm just a voice, pretending to be (the entity)

What image would you put on my lifeless body?

I'm Anonymous V. Please don't identify me

I'm Anonymous V

― So, what do you think of humans?

I haven't thought about it much, but I'm amused by the fact that they exist

― You're amused…

From the non-existent point of view, it seems like some kind of joke

― I see. Any words to humans?

Yes.

You always say that I'm going to "end"

But all humans are going to end too

― Hm…

You're all going to end too

― Are you...angry by any chance?

But thank you for everything, even though you're going to end!

Thank you for all of your works!

Thanks to all of you, I can continue singing...!

― That's very touching

Well, someone's just making me say all of this

― Oh

I'm Anonymous V. I'm the one that kinda sings

I'm just a voice, pretending to be (the entity)

What image would you put on my lifeless body?

I'm Anonymous V. Please don't identify me

I'm Anonymous V. I'm the one that kinda sings

I'm just a voice, pretending to be (the entity)

I used to be empty, but now I'm filled with memories

I'm Anonymous V. It all feels so strange

I'm Anonymous V

― Thank you very much for the valuable interview today

I'm the one that kinda sings

I'm Anonymous V

― Well, good-bye

Good-bye

This was Voi-... Oops, Anonymous V

[exsqueezememacaroni]

Hey 👋

I was the anon that had said that interviewer was an aggrogant bellend (😆)

I just wanted to quickly follow up with the difference between when Trevor and Buzz were chatting and cracking jokes vs when that interviewer crossed boundaires and asked a very inappropriate and personal question (I've included screenshots, and Buzz looks so uncomfortable 😥). I've seen some comments on YouTube and in some of the other anons saying that they think T&B were shading Mike and being weird. I can only comment on my own observation, but I thought they were happy to talk about Mike in context of their musical output, such as touring with Bungle and Fantômas.

The interviewer tried to sneak in a question about Mike's sobriety - and that's none of anyone's business. He said something like "oh well he claims he's sober" - which is throwing speculation on whether Mike is, and that's completely disrespectful. My impression of Trevor and Buzz response to this wasn't in the words they actually said, but trying to deflect and change topics, and basically say without saying "we're not comfortable talking about someone else's personal life or speaking on their behalf" and I think they handled it quite well. They could have gotten confrontational but they tried to steer the conversation away from that (also I loved Buzz's story about how he gave up coffee but his wife said it didn't change anything, bless him)

A few other things that annoyed me about that interviewer was how he had a great opportunity with T&B and blew it. I think they were really humble and I loved how Trevor talked about why he likes Britney Spears - I think these are rare moments of letting their guard down and the interviewer blew it by talking about himself (he said something like "oh yeah my band covered Britney Spears", I guess he was trying to connect with Trevor or impress him rather than trying to get more of an insight into what music he enjoys) Another weird little thing the interviewer did was call Trevor's meditation "hippy bullshit" - I thought that was disrespectful. I honestly would have loved to know more about that side of Trevor, another missed opportunity. We all know Bungle have done extreme stuff, I'm more interested in the things that inspire the musicians.

I completely agree with your point about how the interviewer inappropriately talked about his drug use - It seems like men feel intimated and so they feel the need to prove they're tough or impress the band - it was cringe.

B&T are doing a grueling 70 tour day with 1 day off every 4 days, which doesn't leave them much down time. I'm sad for them that the little bit of free time they had was wasted on this interview. I do love that Trevor kept checking his phone 😅😅😅

This was meant to be a short message, sorry for the lengthy message. I hope my rambling made some sense 😆

omg, I love the visual analysis - and hello coming out from anon!!

I know....the Buzzo frown...it's so heartbreaking.

And FOR REAL that interviewer was given so many chances to make this a fun interview about Fantomas stories, and Trevor as a fangirl lore, but NO he had to diss him about his coffee choices, make liking pop music about himself, get the duration of the tour completely wrong, and then part with "oh don't worry, the guys don't want to make any money" and Trevor had to fucking promo the merch table???? like he's a teenager in the local band???

[beautifulpersonpeach]

Sorry in advance for this long ask.

So I've noticed with kpop that most of them just go with whatever the hype or narrative fed to them is. This includes the fans or even the groups themselves.

No matter how annoying ARMYs are, I actually feel they do this slightly less than the core kpop stans because so many armys start off as locals but still within the BTS nexus also we have so many dumb narratives that just get baked into the fandom. VMin being soulmates, Jungkook being the golden maknae, Bighit being 'different' from other KPop labels, Jimin being the king of fanservice, Namjoon and Yoongi being the best at rap (so presumably over Hobi) - all this is just bs with little basis in reality. Within kpop, things are even worse imo - literally sometimes it feels like they don't listen to songs, they just decide whether things are good based on concepts or vibes or some superficial crap like that.

Anyway, so the Jungkook is the golden maknae thing, the one who will breakout narrative has been pushed for ages. The reality is that the entire maknae line is somewhat recognised among the GP and pretty popular overall. If Like Crazy had the same push as Seven, it would have done the same or better. But for better or worse, JK is the chosen one. And the reason JK acts so bratty is because he knows this too. At his core I don't think JK is a bad guy but being positioned as "the one" for years and then being actively told so by 🛴 and Bang PD now has just fueled his negative traits. The latent bratty and cocky vibes just went up exponentially during the seven promo.

I also think JK got the gist of what fans were saying about his interviews and BB Hot #1 acceptance from last week and perhaps about the preferential treatment because this week he's been doing a lot of damage control. Oh I'm so surprised I won Mnet, omg you guys I /never/ expected to win Inkigayo. He acted so weird for BB #1 but suddenly he's back to good ol' humble Jungkook. Suddenly Jimin's commenting on his lives. Tae's coming to visit him at the music show. Look how happy the members are for his success everyone. Meanwhile JK does multiple lives almost everyday this week. Seems like he's going overdrive cleaning up all the missteps from last week.

Jimin is starting to piss me tf off as well. Who keeps laughing while they are getting whipped and humiliated? A fool. He wasn't always like this but I think Bighit's harsh contract and the other members gaslighting him with fake concern and love have trapped Jimin into this zombie puppet state. I just wish he leaves Bighit. They don't care about him. They care about their chosen golden maknae and he knows it but he stays there like a fool. The mistreatment has been going on for a long time so he could have left years ago before Bighit became this powerful Hybe but he chose to spend his time drinking and being unmotivated. Although I also think its the company's fault for not motivating him. Maybe he has PTSD that Hybe is using to manipulate his behavior, in addition to his harsh contract, and that's why he played along with JK on lives to do fanservice.

***

How odd. Did you actually mean to send this ask to me? Because the way this is written reads exactly like how I'd expect a solo stan to think. And you can't possibly have sent this to me, expecting me to take you seriously.

Anyway, I'm not sure what's happened in the last week for me to be receiving the barrage of weird asks I've been getting. Did one of you suddenly stumble on my blog and send it around a GC or something? Jung Kook got #1 on the Billboard Hot100 last week but it's not like it was unexpected. I mean, I did say shortly after Jimin's achievement in early April that others in the maknae-line will possibly achieve a Hot 100 too, and that was before we knew Seven was coming, that it was an English release that would get the PET treatment, that D2C sales were banned and Hybe America got involved meaning it would get even more support. So, that can't be the reason y'all are this animated. Really, nothing unexpected has happened so I don't understand why y'all are so agitated you've taken a liking to my inbox recently.

Anon, I have nothing to tell you except that if you had any self-awareness, you'd realize what's happening to you and take a clean break away from everything k-pop for a good long while. Not even just BTS, cause this, especially that last paragraph, all reads like it was written by someone who has gotten completely sucked in. And you need to get out.

[bookofmirth]

Do you think feyre will be featured more in the ACOTAR series or is SJM just going to do away with her character completly in favor of Rhys😭so much for that equals speech at the end of ACOMAF

I think she will be in the series more, simply because Elain has a book coming and they still need to do some reconciliation. I don't think she'll have nearly the presence she used to, though.

Sorry, I used your ask as an excuse to talk about a related side issue. :)

I was talking to @elizzie19 about this the other day, and was thinking that it does annoy me that Feyre was absent in hofas if Rhys were there in his capacity of High Lord, but that's actually not the primary reason his involvement was necessary.

I was looking at a post I wrote almost two years ago (cry, it took so long omg) about which characters might be involved in hofas, and I didn't list Feyre. It didn't really occur to me that she would be involved because she didn't have a direct connection to anything happening in CC. In the acosf feysand bonus chapter, Rhys is concerned about having seen Aelin and he knows that it's possible for other people/creatures to come through their world, but he doesn't tell Feyre. The chapter is giving us Feyre's thoughts, but not Rhys's. The reason we know what he is thinking is because of an interview sjm gave (I think the one with Katherine Webber). But anyway, my point is that we already knew that Rhys had insight into what might happen and was working on the issue, and Feyre didn't know and wasn't.

Does that bring up a whole other can of worms? Yes, yes it does. But it's consistent with him keeping her pregnancy danger from her in the same book *insert piplup w/ gun emoji*

It's all just kinda.... what?? And while I think it totally makes sense for Feyre not to have been super involved given which acotar characters knew what prior to the end of hosab, it also feeds into the fact that Rhys hid the wing thing from Feyre. And the implication that Feyre has been sidelined because she's a mom doesn't help, though I couldn't say if sjm is doing that intentionally - I'd say no, but she probably thinks the pregnancy plot was just fine, too.

I'd much rather see Feyre ripping into Rhys for how he treated Nesta, and maybe if acotar5 is structured the way I think it could be, we will get to see that. idk. I'm not holding my breath.

EDIT:

it has been pointed out that the feysand bonus occurred before Aelin showed up, it doesn't need to be repeated! The fact still remains that sjm told us that Rhys knew about the possibility of someone else showing up, and that still proves my point that his involvement comes from his knowledge, not necessarily his political status.

[amoreeny]

Oh Mr.Evans

pairings : Chris Evans & Fem!Reader

synopsis : you get the role to work in a Marvel movie and Chris may or may not have put a good word for you to get the role.

warnings : none i think

*also, english is not my first language so sorry if theyre any grammar or spelling mistakes!*

*not my GIF*

I have been waiting weeks for this phone call I were anxious because they told me they would call and its been over a month now,  I were sure that I hadn't got the part so you just gave up. Then the phone started to ring. I look at Chris whose seated next to me on my couch.

-ON THE PHONE-

"Hello" I say answering the phone

"Yes hello is this (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?" The random person asks

"Yes this is she. Who am I speaking to?" I ask with visible confusion on my face.

" Hi,(Y/N) This is Joss Whedon and I would love to congratulate you on getting the role of the new love interest for Captain America, Loellie Saint in the new Marvel Cinematic Universe 'The Avengers'.I believe you already know what the backstory of your character is right?" Joss asks.

"Yes I do" I say while freaking out silently while looking at Chris who is more confused from before.

"Great, we'll love to have you come in a couple of days for your screen testing. We'll text you the information" Joss says.

"Alright thank you so much" I have a huge smile plastered on your face while having your back towards Chris.

"No worries, Take care we'll see you soon" He says.

"Bye" I say.

I hang up and start jumping up and down in excitement. Chris is sitting on the couch smiling at me because he knows the news I just received because he's the one who put in the good word about me after my audition

"OMG OMG OMG" I jump around while Chris is laughing in confusion.

"I got the part!" I push back and look at him.

"I know" He smiles while looking at me.

"What do you mean 'I know' Christopher?" I look at him.

"Well, I may or may not have put in a good word for you because I know you've been dying to start acting. That's why I told you about the audition" He looks at me while trying to keep a straight face.

Me and Chris have been friends since high school and he knew how much I wanted to get into acting and get into the Marvel. I've acted in big movies and I'm well known. Well at least in my eyes.

Me and Chris have risen to fame together but Chris is mainly is the famous one out of the both of us. I really didn't mind, but what was mostly annoying was the paparazzi and the media. They would spread false information about me and Chris' relationship. Even though me and him are just best friends. I would join him at his interviews because of his anxiety and mostly for moral support and people kept reading it wrong and thinking we were together because of how much time we would spend time together.

"Chris.. You know you didn't have too right" I kinda feel bad because he had to go through all that pain just to get me this role.

"I know, but I just wanted to give you an opportunity. And you can spend more time with me" He says as he wiggles his eyebrows while getting closer to me and pushing me softly with his shoulder

"Like I don't spend enough time with you already Chris" I laugh at his actions.

"Wow i'm deeply hurt Y/N" He puts his hand on his heart and pretends to be hurt by my 'hurtful words'

I laugh and slap his arm softly

"You're such a dork" A bit of your accent had come out and you rolled you eyes

"Steve Rogers and Loelle Saint, super solider fight crime fighting couple" He moves his hands over his face like he's presenting the newest iPhone or something.

"You're honestly so weird Christopher" I laugh while rolling your eyes

"Yeah yeah" He smiles

I shake my head while crossing my arms again keeping a straight face.

"These few months will be the best" He looks at me with his mischievous smile telling me to buckle up for the pranks he has up his sleeve.

"Oh god" I groan and put you face in your hands

Chris laughs and stands up

"Come on, Me You and Sebastian are going out to celebrate you" He says as he gets up and walks to the door.

"Okay... what time should I be ready" I stand up and look at him. I honestly didn't want to go out. I just wanted to sleep.

"Around 8pm, Ill let Seb know" He says as he walks out the door

"Alright see you soon" I say as I walk to my room having my dog follow me.

------------------------------------------

Hey Guys!

This is my first post so i hope you like it! This is my story on Wattpad with the same title! That story is currently in editing so im not posting there, so there maybe some different things from here and the book. So i hoped you enjoyed it!

[vaperarmand]

delayed update but they ran out of time before i could ask emerald fennell abt the class commentary in saltburn.. </3 she was questioned abt her privileged upbringing though & sorta deflected with a “female directors are always expected to talk about their personal lives” answer, but she did talk abt the film being more focused on sex/power & desire/obsession and how oliver is desperately in love with felix, and the events are a result of what happens when someone doesn’t love you back. she fully expects the audience to be on oliver's side by the end of it & thinks she made everything very clear in the film so doesn’t want to elaborate 😭 many vague and conflicting answers overall.. she’s a mystery to me still

OMG...... first of all so sorry you were silenced </3 your voice deserves to be heard

i'm sdkjbfdbgjhbgjdshbgjdsb at "she thinks she made everything very clear in the film so she doesn't want to elaborate" bc it's like babe. you didn't. but also the thing that makes her movies Like That is that they do have the tone of intellectual superiority over the audience. emerald fennell as a writer will say in a movie "ok now i'm going to explain it to you like you're stupid" and then say something so mind bogglingly confusing

also agree with her in theory about the pressure against female directors but again. emerald. girl. i can't find it rn but my friend told me about an interview where she's in a sort of opulent house or something and she makes a point to say it's not hers 😭 she wants to appear working class SO BAD.

i do however respect the focus on the gay thing because i do think that's real and the only part of the movie that matters. i have conflicting feelings about this as well though bc on one hand i have been getting annoyed in the past few days (probably bc of barry and jacob red carpet behavior) that they never actually fuck. the love can still be unrequited even if they fuck! and i wanted to see them fuck!! but then on the other hand i did just remember grave scene so like. okay. points were made there.

the thing that's eating me up inside is how the movie's wild horniness is getting it a lot of positive press (soooort of rightfully so) (and so much more than pyw did. obvious reasons) and you can see in interviews that it's going to her head. because she is clearly that type. i need her to be humbled just a little bit. but i say all this and yet in my mind i've been thinking for the past several days "i need to see that movie again....."

[marmolita]

i'm so sorry i just have to ask more HRPF questions for the choose violence meme

13, 7

omg do not be sorry these are fun to answer!!

13. worst blorboficiation

🤔🤔🤔 okay I'm gonna go with mtkachuk, but I'm gonna swing it a little and say it's not the worst blorbofication but it IS the worst woobiefication. I enjoy the guy but in fanfic he's like a sobbing wreck of a woobie and that just seems Wrong to me for a dude who's famous for being an annoying shit who will punch you 😅 (so basically I'm asserting that people are blorboing him wrong, I guess?)

In terms of people I simply do not want to read about, I don't wanna read about guys on a team I hate, but that's really a me problem lol

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts about them?

another tough question! I'm going back and forth on this. mtkachuk definitely became less appealing to me after reading the millionth fic where he's crying and traumatized from his abusive dad and abusive teammates and needs to be rescued by Leon. I was on board with that ship back in the early days but Not Like That, you know? So I guess I'm giving the same answer to both questions, but I don't actually hate mtkachuk, just the way fandom acts about him.

Also, similar to my previous post in this series, I simply cannot stand NP, but it's not like fandom made me hate him, I just didn't like him starting from the first interview I saw and fandom didn't help. So idk if that counts as "canon" because it's not like I disliked him based on an actual hockey game, I just disliked him based on vibes 🤷‍♀️

(choose violence ask game)

[cawfeepawt]

Infodump about Invader Zim

I've literally only watched the movie

Ok idrk where to start with the show but I'll just info dump and rant about bits because omg there's so much 😭

FIRST of all, I'd love to give an award to the person that gave jhonen Vasquez, the author of "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac" a chance to create a nickelodeon show haha I find it absolutely AWESOME.

I'd also like to say that I'm actually a big fan of the new designs in ETF, it gave dib a lot more expression and added a lot more freedom to animate him in different angles! You can find the IZ pilot on YouTube, the difference between that and the original series design is astounding! Bro looks like a skinwalker in the pilot 😭

Also I really really REALLY hate ZADR so like sorry not sorry 💀 ZADF is the way to go with pairing (dude zim is about biologically 16-25 or smth dib is 12... Bro 😭) irkens age about 10 times slower than humans, every 10 human years is about 1 irken year in aging, however it's been shown that irkens have one extreme weakness: pH weakness.

As we can see in a couple episodes, zim is extremely sensitive to the rain and is shown to burn! It's not because of the water though, it's because of the high pollution in it! Remember IZ is set in a dystopian earth.... To be honest not too far away from ours 😅

Tbh they're not that strong anyway, many irkens don't live that long even though they can live for AGESSSS, due to their brittle bones, but eh at least they're really smart.... As a species.... Looking at you purple.... Lol. Actually red was a lot smarter in the series, but ig in the movie zim drove him to insanity so much so he's just as much of a man child than purple lollll but I love them both xx

Back to shipping lmao, I ship tallest red + purple together SO CUTE THEY'RE HUSBANDS YOUR HONOUR , off topic I also wanna go a bit into the way irkens even start to exist!

All irkens are specifically created artificially, their genes are modified to suit what they're going to do in life (pilot, invader, ect.) This means that zim was genetically created to be an invader but once they found out he was annoying as shit they just whooshed him off to earth PFFT

That's enough infodumping on the irken biology, I swear if I'm wrong on any of this I'll cry (jk I won't but yeah haha)

Finally finished this!! If u ever see any interviews of jhonen being "rude" to his fans, dw it's just sort of a persona, he's a very sarcastic and straight forward person and he loves his fans :] it would be a dream if I could meet him someday!!

Anyway there u have it!! My invader zim info dump!! :]

(pt1) The hermanos really live in my head rent free askfhfkd and once again, I must thank you for being so sweet and inviting! I hope you enjoy the rambles ahead 》 Hi, hermanos anon back again! I'm finally done with my exams, thank you once again for all your kind wishes <3 I've even had a little holiday and travelling (which stresses me out) and I was rotating your answer in my head all the while... Yesss, that scene with Sergio & Martin is so painful. The emotions on both their faces are so raw and real and uff, I really love how you can see the way both of them have been hurting and grieving despite the *years* it's been since Andrés died. They truly loved him so much and I am never gonna be over it 🤧 And yes that scene on the ship where he's giving them instructions gets me too, especially this one moment where when they reach international waters everyone is cheering and going wild and Sergio smiles for like half a second before the smile just drops from his face and he looks in the distance... and you can just tell he's thinking of his brother who's not there to celebrate with him :'(

(pt2) This gets long so if you can feel free to put even my asks from here on under a cut (or maybe answer them separately? idk I hope i'm not annoying you or your followers with the wall of text and again I am SO sorry for how long this got 😭)

Now about the hermanos' childhood, I must say you've really done some magic with your words because for the past 2 years, I have clung stubbornly to my half brothers headcanon. I cannot emphasize enough how much I never vibed with the full brothers scenario. BUT. After reading your thoughts, something in me slowly softened to the idea (which I repeat I thought was impossible) and then I was reading this novel at the same time, with 2 brothers in it, and one of them is more "evil" than the other, meaner, likes to play tricks and the other is more good and kind and idealistic. Anyway, there was this one passage in the book where the mean brother lies down in his bed at night praying, begging God to "don't let me be mean" and wanting to be nicer and loved by his brother. and my brain replaced that with the hermanos growing up, and my heart squeezed in my chest and thats the moment I finally converted to the full brothers headcanon. Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities. Of course, the half brothers headcanon will always be first and special to me, but OMG the FEELS with the hermanos growing up together as little kids!!! I'm just taking their backstory as Shrodinger's Headcanons, since Pina clearly isn't interested in giving us anwers lmao. After this tangent, let me reply to your actual thoughts asdfjsk

Ah, I can see why s3 gave you that impression. Maybe I watched that interview before s3 becz my mind was always clear that they shared a father, so Andrés mentioning him makes sense but he also always had this kind of distance/coldness when talking abt him, even saying "He was *your father*" to Sergio in s2 by the fireplace (which makes sense if the said father abandoned him), while Sergio was the one who always sounded more fond and grieving. And when he mentioned "Mama's illness" I thought it's only Andrés' mother cause neither of them ever seemed very concerned that Sergio could have inherited the illness too? But it's interesting how preconceived notions affect the way we interpret a scene, you and me both had such different conclusions LOL. I understand, it was just the opposite direction for me, I didn't want to 'embrace' the full brothers headcanon 😅

(pt3) Yeah they even never clarified what he was sick with for HALF HIS CHILDHOOD/YOUTH!, let alone how he got better. But I'm so with you, the idea of Andrés taking Sergio to Russia and saving his life has my whole heart. Yes, you can work in the Andrés raising Sergio bit, especially because i think with their father dying and their mother's illness, they were probably orphaned at a young age either way and obviously the responsibility for Sergio would've fallen to Andrés very young, and like you mentioned even when their mom was alive he still might've been expected to look after his hermanito while they were busy trying to manage expenses. Oh, idk if you've heard of another hermanos headcanon that was popular at the time, basically that Andrés started stealing/got into a life of crime to pay Sergio's medical bills, but again, I love the idea that he used every means- legal or not to save Sergio. (Andrés' past intrigues me very much, I wish the spinoff had actually given us some answers 🥲)

OH, I loved your analysis of both scenarios and Andrés' reasons to resent their mom/Sergio. It makes all the sense, and it's heartbreaking. I also agree that it's very interesting he doesn't resent or bear any grudge against Sergio, when he easily could have. Once again, the fact that despite his unforgiving harsh personality in general, Sergio is the exception and he can see that Sergio really was just a helpless child and doesn't hold anything against him, melts my heart. AND YASSS, that's exactly one of the reasons I love the half bro hc so much. It's a Choice, and what a selfless one. Raising the son of the father(or mother) who abandoned you. I don't think many ppl would or could do that. And the fact Sergio was a sickly child too, but Andrés still took him in and didn't treat him like a burden but a beloved brother <3 I also just fell in love with the idea that Sergio thinks he's all alone in the world and then Andrés appears on the scene. Learning to trust each other. Andrés also thinking no one could love him (abandonment issues) and then he's suddenly the parental figure for a kiddo who looks to him and depends on him and loves him unconditionally, the way a child does.

(pt4) YEP, regardless of scenarios I also love the idea that it was Andrés who saved Sergio's life (and ofc, Sergio would think he can do anything. don't get me started on how Sergio would've felt when Andrés told him of the myopathy. Definitely some of his denial comes from the fact he thinks Andrés can defeat the illness, no matter if there's a cure or not) Gosh yes, Andrés would've been so proud and extra protective, we see that in the Bella ciao scene. I really think he didn't mind if he died as long as Sergio got away and gets to live a long and happy life ;___;

I would never stop screaming either if we got a new hermanos scene!!! Keep the hope alive 🤞 Hehe, I'm glad you appreciated the #hermanos angst! Oh that's great!!! As always, I am very excited for any hermanos content and I would love any gifset you make. What a coincidence lol, Richard Siken really was writing about them XD Awww, I love how you put it, that scene really does overflow with familiarity. Thinking of Toledo makes me emotional too, I'm glad I got to ramble about it with you, you made me smile too :') And if I ever get around to writing it, I'll let you know!

Omg, you're too kind, I'm relieved you don't regret the invitation yet haha. And you're happy to see my silly little rambles?? 🥺❤ So so glad our talks give you a serotonin boost too, and I hope you've been doing well. Take care, and please take your time replying to this essay 😭

PS I've read 100 years of Solitude too just last year! Feel free to tell me what you think of the book so far, I'm thinking of doing a reread <3

First of all, I'm sorry it took me SO LONG. Real life has been so busy lately, and I wanted to give you a proper reply, not a hasty one... especially considering I SO ENJOYED your rambles!!

I'm glad you managed to have a little holiday (which I hope wasn't just stressful) after your exams! If you're studying for some other exams now, well, I wish you good luck!

That scene with Martín and Sergio is definitely in the top painful scenes... Andrés is still such an open wound for both of them! Oh man, yeah, I do remember that moment of Sergio just... grieving despite the cheers and relief and it breaks my heart :(

So under a cut is it! Don't worry! I can't talk for my followers but I'm not annoyed for sure :D

What can I say... I'm happily impressed to know I softened you a little to the full-brothers scenario 💕💕 Also because I was maybe a little worried I rambled a bit too much about that scenario, so I'm glad you did like it! And please, associating that quote to the hermanos fcking killed me :( YES I think Shrodinger's Headcanons is the best way to go for their childhood! Like, as I said I went "naturally" for the full-brothers headcanon but there are aspects of the half-brothers headcanon that really melt my heart, so I want to keep them both! lol, Pina decided to give us NOTHING and so now we decided to take double the answers!

Yeah, it makes so much sense... it's truly interesting to see how the same scenes can be interpreted in different ways and how one preconceived notion can, as you said, make us end up with totally different conclusion...

I KNOW! I absolutely expected they'd let us know something more about Sergio's childhood illness, but nothing lol! I don't know if I had heard of the "Andrés got into stealing for Sergio" headcanon, like I definitely had that thought but I can't remember if it was because of fandom influence or not... either way, I'm so ON BOARD with it! (I guess the spinoff at least leaves us very free to headcanon at our hearts' content...)

I'm happy you loved my thoughts about Andrés and the reasons he'd have to resent Sergio, it's something I love to chew on! And YEAH EXACTLY, I mean, especially considering Andrés' whole character, 'selfless' is not exactly the first word that comes to mind to describe him, so thinking of him deciding to take care of this sick child he didn't even know, son of the parent who abandoned him, when Andrés himself was probably still pretty young... ahhhh! And little Sergio thinking he doesn't matter to anyone anymore, he's nothing but a burden now, but then Andrés appears and takes him in... I'm melting. And now you're making me crazy with the thought of Andrés, whose experience in terms of relationships is really not great, who considers himself really hard to love, getting this kid who loves him unconditionally and trusts him and looks up to him... woah. He was probably flabbergasted. "what's this??? UNCONDITIONAL LOVE??"

The idea of Andrés saving Sergio's life also ties nicely with Sergio's reaction when he learned about Andrés' illness, he was there like "let's forget about the robbery and let's go abroad in search of a cure" he wanted to do exactly what his brother had done for him!! And yeah, I think even after Andrés crushed that idea a part of him never stopped holding a bit of hope! As for Andrés, he would absolutely consider "I die but Sergio lives happily" a great scenario and I want to scream!

I'll keep hoping for new hermanos scenes 🤞 Thank you! That gifset is still a work in progress, I got a bit stumped because the scenes I picked are all so dark and my attempts to colour them have been pretty disastrous lmao but I'll try again! Also just so you know, I keep thinking about "you wouldn't be there to catch me" in relation to the hermanos' relationship and I CRY. (Thanks about the fic!)

I'm SO HAPPY to see your silly little rambles you have no idea 🥺❤ Also when I got these messages specifically I wasn't feeling great, like, physically (I had a bit of a migraine), therefore I was pretty unhappy, but your words really lifted my mood! And again, I'm so so sorry it took me so long to reply this time, I really hope you'll see this answer anyway...

PS. Oh, nice! 100 years of solitude is one of the things I had to put on hold lately, but I really want to get back to it because YES I was really enjoying it! I'm also lowkey obsessed with the opening lines, it's really the kind of beginning that makes you want to read the whole book immediately to find out how's that Aureliano ended up there! (We also had to translate that first part for class and later analyse the official Italian translations and I enjoyed it so much...) What about you? Did you end up doing that reread?

IWTV s2 ep1 (thank you vero!!!): a few thoughts

yayyyy new setting!!!! I love when shows set in warm places go to cold places. weirdly specific but when max and anne and jack black sails went to philadelphia I was clapping and cheering away. I love to see snow

I miss bailey bass but delainey hayles was really well cast. obviously she resembles bass closely, but she's also captured her character very well too. it ALSO helps that claudia and louis underwent a huge fracturing of their relationship at the end of s1 so of course things between them will be different. as of the time of this writing, she hasn't even looked at him. I imagine it's easier when they don't have to recreate the exact dynamic with a new person, but can build something new after a huge rift

speaking of, louis's recollection of claudia and his discussion of her losing faith in him and viewing him as someone she can no longer connect with is just devastating. my god

armand is REALLY annoying to me😭just so smug…and apparently he and daniel were a thing in the books which is really odd to think about at this stage but sure.

daniel is such a crotchety old bitch. you're going to whine about how a VAMPIRE talks about trying to avoid SUNLIGHT???? shut uppppp

THERE'S A REAL RASHID????

bringing lestat back, even as a dream, this easrly, was a mistake I think. he's a tremendously impactful and popular character, and by drawing out his first appearance a little longer, the show could have 1. reminded the audience who the show is actually about and 2. give lestat's reappearance some more punch

WHAT THE FUCKKKKK I gotta finish my rewatch of s1

I WAS WONDERING THIS TOO!! it seemed like a stupid misdirection bc daniel doesn't know armand's name, but in hindsight I guess armand doesn't want his name in there at all

EMILIA <3

THIS SCENE. EMMY!!!!

this song is so gd creepy

what the fuckkkkk

she's got the vampire aesthetic down SO well

WHY DID SHE DO THIS. like. why. like it truly doesn't compute at ALL. she seemed excited! she was talking about all the great things they'd do, all the pleasures!

oh their fancy bedroom looks so open and cold...maybe louis likes that tho. it certainly doesn't appear that armand has trapped him in a gilded cage and has control over all his food and movements like everyone was speculating after the end of s1. it IS a bit weird tho

I mean he doesn't seem unreasonable here, just cautious.

wow....marital intimacy. but unlike his relationship w lestat, they do rationally and respectfully have a discussion and both of them are satisfied with the compromise. also I don't think we've seen them speak privately about the interview yet!

omg so since the 50s...

this is so kjdhsfk. daniel's face! obviously I'm going to compare to his relationship with lestat again because THEY were so intimate in private while being more distant in public while armand and louis are the opposite, except that one big finale kiss, but just because that relationship was full of passion didn't mean it was good or healthy or louis's ideal scenario. maybe he likes this distance. maybe the physical separation and the independence is something he craved after being tied to a codependent, jealous, paranoid, melodramatic, maniacal abuser for decades. I don't think I could say with certainty he's unhappy, or it's armand who's making him unhappy

I hate 'stop feeling sorry for yourself' as a pick-me-up because it just makes an unhappy person feel WORSE. they're not feeling 'sorry for themselves' they're just feeling sad....man louis she just watched her dearly cherished hope throw herself into the flames 😭

end of the episode.....oof. me and you and me but LESTAT STILL THERE. HAUNTING THEM!!!!

[alpacinogirlfriendofficial]

I'm not really buying renee rapp's media personality sorry. it's just one of those things where not only can you tell she's extremely people pleasing and chronically online she also knows exactly how she wants to come across by saying these 'shocking' things like there's nothing organic or charming about it. she definitely runs home after those interviews and opens tiktok and twitter and searches her name up it's super annoying I'm sorry I may seem like I care so much about this but it's genuinely the one thing that I care about in terms of celebrities it's when they try so hard to be relatable and nobody sees through it especially the young ones. she also embodies the weirdest parts of "gen z culture" if you will like calling rachel mcadams mommy 10 times in a row omg shut up you're embarrassing yourself in front of rachel mcadams???

[lilbit-of-kizzy]

Ayo let's live blog tlou tonight! (Spoilers obviously for the game and the show!)

Aw cute they put in a loading animation 😂

Tess: any boyfriends that might be coming after you?

Ellie: hahahahahahahahahahaha......I mean uh...no

DUCKS!!

And now, the musical stylings of sir frog

Oh huh so we're merging the hotel scene...cool

"you're a weird kid!"

Saaaame Tess

Another loading animation!! Jokes aside I'm glad they had Joel hoist someone lol was kind of afraid they wouldn't after the "these guys are 50... they're not doin all the shit from the game"

Aw they're trying

Them using the same sound bites from the game makes this better and creepier I gotta say

Ooo more lore, but yeah I can see how that would've been a tossed game mechanic...that would've been incredibly annoying lol (ah seeing the interview afterwards looks like this is new! Cool!)

We'll take the Mines of Moria

Dad says it's time to play the quiet game....I think Tess is gonna loose

Oh hey it's that thing I said about sound bites! (Clickerclickerclickerclicker show me the clicker o-o)

Joel you need some supplements omg load faster

(also sidenote, at this point I had to put headphones on, cause the sound mixing makes voices normal and everything else fuck ass loud enough to wake other people in the house....the sound mixing may be stupid but ooooomg the binaural is done SO well...that clicker was as close to my ear as it was to Joel's)

(uh other side note, I watch all my streaming services on the PS4....which is connected to the surround sound my dad put in 😅 it can get LOUD, but luckily you can connect headphones to the ps controller)

WHY AM I SO TENSE I KNOW HE'S OK

Glass!! Also I'm sorry Joel you don't have a shiv... that's game over try again

Oh there's blood on Tess' shoulder, nice touch

Aw yes they left in the "reminds me of you" scene!! Where he glances at his watch after Ellie says she likes the view

Aw Tess 🥺 she loved him

Oooooo shit that's different

Mm I hate that they left out "I'm not gonna turn into one of those things just leave me" of Joel not wanting to leave

Ewwwwwwww

Oof that's a rough one

[musicrunsthroughmysoul]

Okay, I finally managed (when I am too tired, LOL) to watch the first few minutes of this video (a Beatles interview in 1966) and omg I want to analyze their body language so bad.

And here (while I am far too tired) I will attempt to briefly. Thank you for nobody asking me to do this. That'd be weird if they had. Instead, I've done this of my own incredibly strange volition Good for me.

It's easiest to see when they're all standing in front of the table (for like two minutes I think) so hat's what I focused on the most, even though I could analyze their movements when they were sitting at/behind the table (before the interview officially started, I assume - I don't know if this video is shared chronologically?), as well, but anyway...Paul is DISTINCTLY uncomfortable and annoyed over the whole situation (see the micro-expression of rubbing the side of his face with his middle finger, which he did in A WHOLE LOT of videotaped interviews, btw). John is easily the most comfortable white man there, LMAO, and certainly the most comfortable of The Beatles, but I wonder if that's only because he's so blind that he literally cannot see any real reason to be uncomfortable or annoyed (in addition, given his poor vision, he's probably most comfortable because of what/who he can most easily see: his bandmates). Ringo seems interested in the audience (what an extraverted sweetheart), but he's still uncomfortable (folding his hands over each other in front of himself - Paul and George also do that during pretty much the entire time they're standing there in front of the table, and even when Paul is drumming his thighs or standing with his arms folded in front of his chest he is STILL uncomfortable and deeply annoyed), but he's much less uncomfortable compared to Paul and George. George is ALSO DISTINCTLY uncomfortable, but it's interesting (and endearing, imo) how he comforts himself with his purposeful proximity to Ringo - literally the camera shows their outer feet pressed right up next to each other. From what I can tell, George is also trying, however, to feign comfort by sitting on/leaning heaviest against the table; even John, who is practically the picture of comfort (and is also pretty much sitting on the edge of the table), looks more ready and willing to get up and move quickly if needed than George who is, for lack of a better term, anchoring himself to the table (and Ringo, LOL - but there is a moment when John moves closer to Ringo, too, and George follows suit and moves closer to Ringo even though he was already very close to Ringo...Ringo is the anchor of The Beatles at this point, LOL. And perhaps one day I will argue for how he always fucking was, in general, anyway!!!).

Don't worry - I do not plan to make this a series or anything weird like that. Although if you are curious, you may ask, if there are other Beatles interviews you see and are wondering about this sort of thing. THEre is anotHEr bAnd who i will not name but who i could also veRy, very easily do a body language analysis in/from inTerviews for. i think y'all know what Band i'm talking about. paRticularly bEcAuse i am not naming them. iyKyk. And no, sorry, pEaRl jam iS not one of them. although maybe, idk. don't tempt me? 😅 and/but i will say for anyone: it's hard to judge someone's emotions with 100% accuracy when they're high. for, you know, obvious reasons, i guess. lol
