#also I wanted to make a comment about how the last bit was like scooby doo bc all of them solving myseries

[that-girl-glader]

My DEAD BOY DETECTIVES TRUTHS (OPINIONS)..it's literally just me yapping lol

I did not care for CRYLAND I'm sorry not sorry. And here is why. I fully believe Charles liked Crystal. I could see it. But I just wasn't convinced that Crystal liked him more than a friend. Did find it dope though that she told him she wasn't ready for a relationship. Cause she effing wasn't.

I'm not saying I ship Edwin and Charles. But I find their dynamic very cute. And I 100% believe that Charles likes Edwin. The thing is he doesn't realise it....But he does like him. And he also likes crystal....both do and can coexist in my opinion.

I found Monty to be a really sweet adorable character. And I think him getting a crush on Edwin was so sweet. I really liked him and Edwins dynamic. Their friendship was yes. And I kinda liked that they were each others first kiss. And that Edwin got to experience what he never thought possible. Being a teen inlove.

Scenes that makes me truly believe that Edwin is in fact just a teenage boy. Is the scene where he is just staring at Edwin talking to crystal in the lighthouse episode with hearteyes(sorry if I got the scene wrong). Aswell as the scene where he is watching scooby doo with Niko.

The scene where Edwin chooses to do the case for Month was Edwin trying to show that even though he can't be in love with Monty. He still cares about him and their friendship, and would like to mend it. And it's rather sweet.

I was not convinced that Edwin and Crystal were actually friends for a while until maybe the last two episodes. Even though Crystal and Charles got romantically involved. I don't think it really justified how Crystal "favoured" him over Edwin. Same with Niko. Like It was like she was friends with them off screen. Like I need to see Crystal hanging one on one with either of them lol. Like she was just with Charles the whole time. Love her and Charles btw. Just want her being good with them all.

The catking was pretty alright. But him and Edwin felt a bit off. And only because the whole "older guys" comment kinda just...made it weird. I don't know if I like it. But I do think he was a sweet character in his own weird way I guess. Kinda weird though to trap someone in a city cause you find them attractive but yeah. The roleplay scene was soooooo weird. Revealed something about Edwin to us and to him. But it was soooo weird.

Monty deserves to be a REAL BOY. I miss my baby. I miss him. Come home. We have your favourite meal my love. Love you and your redemption arc yum yum. Come home to us. We miss you.

TOH S3 EP3 REACTION, AKA, THE SERIES FINALE PEOPLE!!!!!!!

I have no idea how long this will take me, just as a warning idk how long it will take me to watch and write all this, its about an hour long episode so

LETS GO!

Woah, instantly, King's dad maybe?? Or just some other titan guy is telling Luz to wake up from maybe the mirror realm thing established? Cool!

Now Luz, how the hell did you get there? "How did I get here?" LUZ DON'T STEAL MY QUESTION

Oh fuck she is in the emporer's.. temple? Already forgot the name, but i assume its some sort of dream as, this was destroyed? By the collector? Who knows really

WOAH guys, Bump as stone ain't funky, i actually came around to liking that guy, they were dolls last time we saw them!!!! Definitely some form of dream

"Don't you remember?" From Amity CONFIRMED to me that its a dream, there is 0 way we are gonna witness a breakup this episode, I refuse

Amity looks so good with this hair I can't lie, idk if I have commented on this before, but if so, I will say it again, she rocks it! And I want her moon necklace and shoes, that's a given

"This isn't a dream, it is a nightmare!" Love that it took until her girlfriend was trying to kill her for her to realise, fucking love Luz man

EDA!!! LOVELY TO SEE YOU, as always. HARPY EDA`1 ...In prison. Well, it is a lovely call back to season 1 episode 1 so I will accept it!

AAHHHH Her first thought after seeing her mum and sister is "THANK GOD, now lets go find king" I LOVE TOH FAMILY

"Dangerous beasts need to be kept in cages" I know this is a dream, but Lilith queen, you ARE a DANGEROUS BEAST TOO, Eda come on, don't fall for this, have a lightbulb moment like Luz

WOAH DON'T BRING HER DAD INTO IT! DON'T DO THAT TO MY GIRL,, she will cry! Collector (I assume its you) THIS ISN'T VERY NICE

King: *gets jump scared by the guy who is trying to kill him and his species and who wear's his family's skulls"

Also King: "Bill! You crazy jerk! How did I get here?" THAT IS AN UNDERREACTION KING....... See, I TOLD YOU it was an underreaction! He is now trying to decapitate you!

WILLOW! Well. What else did you expect from a nightmare Luz?

GUS! GOD I love Gus, even mean dream Gus is iconic, what a performer

HUNTER! "He was more than a paslisman, he was my best friend." ....guys I won't lie, its a bit difficult to still be in denial about Flapjack, ngl.

.....The challenging to a witch's battle thing made the really intense moment, really not tense anymore because it feels like something out of like harry potter or something

"bip. boop." .....Luz, bestie, what are you doing, because whatever it is, its hilarious. "But you aren't amity!" WE ESTABLISHED THIS BRO, whether its a dream/nightmare or some illusion, IT DOESN'T MATTER, it still isn't real.... maybe she was making a joke when she said nightmare.

OOO PUPPET STRINGS! Cute.

Woahhh rubix cubes exist here?! KING EDA AND LUZ REUNITED, "Are you both really here?" AHSUHDKLDF fuck I will cry

"Ray-Ray" I HOPE WE ALL STEAL THIS NICKNAME FOR RAINE

"King is going to hate me for this" AWWWWW, I mean. Totally not aww, the collector is doing evil things. "My powers don't work on king." "The dog?" "Yeah, cause he is a titan" the Collector just told Belos the biggest fucking news, but also Belos calling King the dog just makes me think that King is like scooby doo or somethin

HEY DON'T HIT FRANCOIS, fucking bully you are Belos, that was not cool!

ABSJHNFEOFN OWLBERT AND STRINGBEAN FRIENDS, AND EDA BEING EXCITED ABOUT LUZ'S PALISMAN!

"....Do you not understand what death means to mortals?" Well. As an immortal, probably not, but as a KIDDO, definitely not, again, feel bad for the Collector, if only we get just stick our heads back on after we chop them off (Eda can legit do that tho wait-)

RAINE you are back! Oh well, you were. "Annoying powerful" just say you are jealous broski, Raine IS great, love them

OOOO Amity is moving, slowly. Huh.

ARE THEY PLAYING PACMAN?! AND NOW MARBLES!? Awww, see, they are just a kiddo!

JENGA! Iconic group of games. Poor Collector just wants toys and friends bless them

"The archivists, my siblings" Man, TMA fan in me was like "JON IS YOUR SIBLING?! Makes sense."

......AWWW. WAIT WHAT NO. Okay. so BASICALLY, the Collector's siblings went "go play with the titans, we don't like you" blah blah, and THEN when the collector goes and plays with the titans (especially the little guys, like King) THE SIBLINGS GOT UPSET SO KILLED OFF EVERY TITAN?! But King's dad went to the Collector "YOU are the bad guy, I am hiding king from you and trapping you" DAMN IT

"I know its just pretend, but I don't care, i will pretend for as long as I want"...... Okay well again, THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE HARD HITTING LINES BRO

RAINE ARE YOU BACK?! Hell yeah, bard magic is sick, HELL YEAH, Raine pal don't injure yourself BUT GO SAVE EDA i think Belos means Eda anyway

...this isn't King's heart is it? Like, how would that work? Maybe its King's dad's heart? Idk

NOOO THE GOO GOT ONTO THE HEART, Belos that was mean, BUT RAINE YOU DID SO WELL, IGNORE BELOS YOU DID AMAZINGLY

OKAY so it isn't King's heart, that's good, i was confused

NOOOOOOo STEVE IS A PUPPET, well the whole island is, but still, STEVE I MISS YOU

"None of us felt like we fit in. So we decided to not fit in together" GOD YOU ARE HURTING MY FOUND FAMILY HEART IN THE BEST WAY

TITAN MAGIC!!?? King bestie YOU CAN DO IT

Belos I am being deadly serious what is your plan, I don't get it, you wanna kill all witches and demons, sure, but this is just making the area ugly, turning it into the dead coral reef ain't going to help

...................Okay Belos you are just ugly now. How do you keep getting uglier, its shocking

....................."You just need kindness and forgiveness huh" COLLECTOR BESTIE, OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO THAT WOULD WORK ON, BELOS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T

"But i thought I was doing the right thing" OH MY DARLING COLLECTOR, MY KIDDO, how do you explain this to him, why is THIS the closest i have got to tears

LUZ BESTIE. If I had a nickel everytime Luz got almost turned to some form of stone in a season finale by Belos, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice, right?

.......Alright so why is this not solving itself, am I going to have to wait until the finale minutes to see how Luz gets un-coral-ified?!

WHERE DID SHE GO, okay well now the Collector has a tiny sparkley thing of Luz she will survive, no idea how but still

DOES EVERYONE KNOW THIS IS LUZ, I would be mad as fuck if my ashes were being floated across the city, like, damn, do I not get privacy in death?!

EDA AND KING GOING FERAL BECAUSE OF LUZ'S TEMPORARY DEATH IS ALL I NEED AIUSDAOWDEJWAOR

Poor collector, he is just a kiddo, he doesn't understand, bless him

waIT NO DON'T LET GO OF LUZ, SHE IS NOT REALLY GONE DUMBASS

SEE! The little sparkley thing is vibing, in the mirror, realm bit

OH ARE WE AT THE BEGINNING AGAIN! WOO........ Okay why does King's dad have a mini Hooty in his eye and have a "Bad girl coven" t-shirt?! I LOVE HIM, but why is he so short? Is it because they aren't in normal realm so size is weird?

"I am both King and Queen, best of both things" IS THAT A HANNA MONTANNA REFERENCE?!?! IS KING'S DAD A HANNA MONTANNA FAN!? also does that mean gender is just, none existant here? SLAYY

"What? Have you been drinking Eda's homemade apple blood?" BEST RESPONCE TO THAT QUESTION

WAIT DON'T DIE KING'S DAD, NOOOOOOOOOO

.....Does this make Luz a titan? Temporarily one. "Eda the owl lady? Send her my regards. Big fan" AKJFSNFJ:EDOFL

Okay so yeah, he is huge, did think so.

RIP KING'S DAD, I WILL MISS YOU AHHHHHHHH

I will end it here for part one, its now been an hour and a half since I first started the episode and I am half way through so!

[onlyjaeyun]

Ok ok ok ok ok so that was like WILDLY HOT. So like hear me out. What if the guys notice how healthy, happy, and um…….satisfied YN has been lookin lately. Like. She’s got that “gettin it good” glow……and they assume it’s Fuma

And they make comments about it in front of Hoon. Or Hoon and YN excerpt like Hoon knows it’s only been him…soooooo…

OR if they say something off hand to Fuma and he’s like “I ain’t seen her in weeks tho”—cue the Scooby Doo Mystery gang like “Huh!? WHOMST?!”

There are literally so many ways you could unfold this story and I’m on the edge of my SEAT. You have such talent. Thank you so much I’m just loving this whole ride. This is one of the best SMAUs I have ever read.

Also can I just say how JEALOUS I am. I’m such a slow writer. To produce something the quality and length you put out with the last written chapter would have taken me a small eternity. I am so impressed!

ALSO OMG DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CONCERT YESTERDAY?! Two Engenes got into a literal FIST FIGHT and Jungwon tried to settle them but they wouldn’t listen and SUNGHOON had to step in and he got firm with them. From what I understand he was like “if you don’t stop we are not coming down and we will move farther away” and they didn’t stop so he was like “Ok. That’s it then. Move back” and he just moved back and motioned for the other members to move back. Like literally took control of the whole situation. I was shooketh.

This is just what I’ve seen in the videos and from the translations. I know stuff is still sort of coming out about it so... but yeah Enha Twitter is ENFLAMBE about the whole thing.

I cannot imagine fist fighting another Engene in front of God, Enhypen, and everybody— but clearly somebody out there lived that reality.

#sungshook

YOUR IDEAS ARE SO SO SO SO GOOD AND IM ABSOLUTELY GONNA USE ONE OF THEM BUT I DONT WANNA SPOIL ANYTHING SO I WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOU WAIT A LITTLE THANK YOU SM FOR THIS BABY 🤕🤕🤕🤕💗😚

and oh my..god 🫣 the whole macau day 1 & 3 fiasco is so...embarrassing like i dont wanna say anything but that was very much k-engenes behavior like bestie pls dont you want them to come back 🤕 if i EVER heard subghoon talk like that to me as a crowd directly i woukd never, EVER open my mouth again and do as i am told , they really didn't have a good time and it's so sad bc it was just a tiny bit of the crowd that probably ruined the experience for so many other engenes 😭😭😭

i also saw that jay was hit by a phone and then by something else but he moved out of the way fast enough and even saved sunoo from getting hit and then also heard (not sure if that's true) that there were very inappropriate signs among the crowd like SIGH ik we are all excited about them coming to certain places for the first time but just..bEHAVE 😭😭 i feel so sad and disappointed for not only the ensies but also engenes who just went there to have a good time, slme people just have more manners its so unfortunate 🤕💔

[goongiveusnothing]

"we all know that harry was plotting a solo career and the yacht move and solo documentary in 2016 was part of that, so why do we care about when he signed the contract, if everything else from before then is blatantly obvious evidence?" /// I don't know why you care. Do YOU know? You and your anons seem to care very much because you really didn't like it when I corrected you about the date he signed his solo record deal. They're just facts, they shouldn't hurt.

"while at the same time claiming everyone knew that jeff would manage harry's solo career and it was blatantly obvious back in late 2013/early 2014" /// No. You made that last bit up again. I never said anything about 2013/ early 2014. My ask about it being blatantly clear to everyone that Jeff would manage Harry was in response to your post about OT3 being blindsided at NYE 2015/2016. I don't think they were, because I think they, like everyone else except Larries, knew Harry was going to launch a solo career.

And you seem to be confused. Why would Louis, Niall or Liam have to piece together clues to figure out something that was blatantly obvious? It was clear. No clues required. You believe Harry was conniving and lying and scheming behind their back like a Scooby Doo villain, when in fact he actually told them straight out *a year in advance* that he would not be signing another 1D contract. That would be the most ineffective secretly-scheming villain ever 😄 You seem to want to have it both ways.

"what conversations did i write between louis and harry?" /// The conversations you wrote in your posts earlier, where you made up a whole exchange where Louis "likely" asked Harry about his plans but Harry "likely" refused to tell him, but Louis had an idea so he "likely" guessed and Harry lied blah blah. Just total conjecture required to support your Scooby Doo villain theory.

the issue with you bringing up the contract date was because you were deliberately trying to use those dates to portray it all more favorably to harry. if you could pretend that harry signed his album contract later, it meant the others looked like they all knew and were okay with it and were all launching careers together. that was your intention with deliberately pushing that date out, when you even admit that harry was doing his solo superstar thing in the hiatus talk in 2014.

that's why it's not an interesting date or point, but to you it is, because you like to use it in your manipulations. just like harry styles would.

why else did you need to bring it up or bring up when the others made their contracts? why did you act like he signed it later than he did, as if to suggest his solo career was only fledgling and nascent by then? why did you try and act like the 2016 documentary was not part of his solo career and evidence of how it was in full ascent by then? why act like it was just a brief meaningless one off thing? you were the one seeking to manipulate and distort with these comments. because you're just like harry. to have a conversation with you involves having to play along with games and pretend what you're saying, isn't what you're saying.

yes, i use the dates of 2013/2014 because that's when he met the azoffs and the scheming and solo superstar craftmanship begun.

so on the one hand you claim that it was clear and obvious, but also act like there was no 2016 documentary and that he signed his contract in mid 2016, not with the yacht thing.

when did he tell them he was not signing a 1D contract again? where's the quote for this? how did that conversation go? was it on a yacht? did he make out with jeff afterwards?

lmao we know that the conversation went like that because of everything they've said, even harry styles himself. harry said he wanted a hiatus and that he didn't want to exhaust the fans. louis said that it was a hard conversation and he could see where it was going. niall said none of the others had solo plans, "unless someone is lying to me." it was obvious therefore that harry was NOT being upfront and the others had to pierce it together themselves. it makes sense louis, who could see where this was going, likely told or asked harry to his face, if this was about him seeking a solo career. that's the only reason it could've been a hard conversation.

unless you pretend that harry straight up told them it was the end and he was doing a solo career, which therefore contradicts harry style's own words on this situation.

CQL Rewatch - Episode 9

Let me preface this by saying we’re entering a period of episodes that I’m not that fond of. There’s nothing wrong with them really, but it’s just padding and a little bit of set-up for later arcs, but I personally think the set-up is unnecessary.

Anyhow, straight into it! I shouldn’t say “straight” when wangxian is on screen. I struggled to get a good shot, but the dichotomy between Nie Huaisang and wangxian here is hilarious to me. He’s such a good comedy act, flailing and being totally useless, other than being another warm body, but at the same time, he’s the only one really acting like a teenager here. Lan Wangji is always so cold and serious, while Wei Wuxian is a goof until he needs to be serious, but both of them are also extremely talented. We know Nie Huaisang isn’t an idiot, but I don’t get the impression he’s a great cultivator either.

I literally watched this scene this morning and totally missed this part. Lan Wangji stops Wei Wuxian from killing or attacking the puppets further, as he’s about to use his sword to defend them all. It’s a great little moment, actually, because it shows how Wei Wuxian is willing to do anything, but he’s not willing to murder innocent people if they can be saved. We already know, with all the Lan principles, that Wangji would not kill needlessly, but we don’t necessarily know that about Wei Wuxian. But he has morals, he has his own principles, and he’s not going to cast those aside for nothing.

Now, you could say he won’t do it now in the story, but what about later? What about Wen Chao? I’d say that’s totally different. That was revenge. And one of the things I like about this story is that it doesn’t shy away from revenge (something that a lot of Western media kind of disdains—we seem to be afraid to in any way make revenge out to be something good).

I can’t believe I managed to capture the exact moment that Lan Wangji used the Silencing spell on Nie Huaisang. I’m honestly really impressed with myself. Of course, it was totally by accident. I was initially going to just talk about how funny Nie Huaisang is again, because I love his flailing and physical comedy, and his expressions are fantastic. But can I talk about this glare that Yibo has right now? Haha, I love it. Again, if looks could kill. If I were Wei Wuxian here, I’d feel pretty satisfied for being the one not silenced at this moment. Honestly, it shows such a progression in their relationship: they’re really working as a team, no longer at odds with each other. It’s really apparent that they have become a team: it’s Nie Huaisang and WangXian—not Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. There are also more moments where it feels like Wei Wuxian is really looking for Lan Wangji—like, it feels as if he’s more interested in the relationship than Lan Wangji. I don’t think it’s true at all, but that’s kind of what we’re shown. The thing is that Lan Wangji is so much more aloof and cold towards Wei Wuxian—very tsundere, I suppose. But of course, we know Lan Wangji is very conscious of Wei Wuxian.

I’m not going to pick on her specifically here, because overall, the fake instrument-playing is pretty hysterical. I do think she’s the worst at it, though, probably because she only does this in one scene or something. Wang Yibo has a double for a lot of the scenes where he’s playing the guqin, but what little we see is fine. Xiao Zhan is also okay—we know he isn’t really playing, but he does an okay job pretending to play. Like, his lip is on the flute. It kind of looks like Wen Qing doesn’t even have her lips on the flute—like she’s trying not to wreck her makeup. Anyway, I’m not going to harp (see what I did there?) on it—none of them are musicians.

Reminder to gif this part.

Any time Wei Wuxian comes to Lan Wangji’s defense is a good time, and coupled with a smile like this—my heart is melting, excuse me. I love these moments, because for just a few seconds, it feels like no one else is there—it’s just the two of them having a moment together. And Wei Wuxian is once again here proving how he’s loyal to Lan Wangji, how his friendship is worth something, and it’s not just skin-deep. I think Lan Wangji is touched here: the way his averts his gaze, as if he likes what Wei Wuxian is saying, but he still feels uncomfortable. Outside of his family, this is probably the closest relationship that Lan Wangji has ever had.

Wei Wuxian has a lot of cool magic, and it’s a shame we don’t get to see more of it. I like the idea that his talismans are more clever, if that makes sense. They aren’t just explosions or hitting people with waves of force to knock them around. He’s got golden nets, and talismans that can bind/bond people to each other, ones that can cause you to be pinned to the ground. It’s just very fun, and we don’t get to see a lot of that sort of magic in this world. Actually Lan Wangji has the Silencing spell, plus the body binding spell that he uses in the book, but that is, unfortunately, not in this series. And the first time you see it in the book is when he binds Wei Wuxian’s body so that he has to sleep right on top of Lan Wangji—great stuff.

WWX: So they are making use of my wisdom? LOL

Wei Wuxian stops to make a joke, saying he is most disturbed by the hallucinations because he has so many thoughts in his head—basically too smart for his own good here—and at the same time, poking fun at Lan Wangji, because he isn’t bothered by the hallucinations (ie. he doesn’t have many thoughts in his head). Okay, first of all, we know Wei Wuxian respects Lan Wangji a lot, so he is definitely joking, and it’s all in good fun. Lan Wangji rolls his eyes a bit, and he’s not bothered. He did, after all, tell Wei Wuxian to put the net over the other three so that he and Wei Wuxian could take care of the dire owl alone. He also respects Wei Wuxian and values him as a fellow cultivator and teammate. Second of all, again, Wei Wuxian is not an idiot! He’s smart! He’s clever! He’s not dumb! I don’t know who still needs to hear this, but I’m saying it again. I know it’s easy to put him into the typical BL “female” role: he’s smaller, he’s a bottom, blah blah blah. I honestly don’t like that at all. Every ship doesn’t have to be two opposites. It doesn’t have to be m/f, top/bottom, big/small, dark/light, smart/dumb, strong/weak. I’m aware of how the book is written and I’m aware of BL tropes in general, but I see two equals here. I like how they picked Wang Yibo, a shorter and younger man than Xiao Zhan, to play Lan Wangji. I like that they took out the fact that he has inhumanly strong arms. I like the different dynamic that it displays from the book characters. That isn’t to say that I don’t like the book—I love the book. The book is my favorite adaptation, both in terms of storytelling and in terms of plot. But that doesn’t mean that it’s perfect for me.

Anyway, enough ranting for now.

I love this shot. And I love how in sync they are in this fight—it’s like a dance. When I’ve heard about fight choreography in the past, I never associated it with the word “dance,” until I saw this series. I don’t know if it’s the costumes or the setting or the actors or what, but their motions are so fluid, so dance-like—it’s actually quite beautiful.

Oh, my god, look at that grin! I fucking love it!! Also, serious moment turns into a chance to tease Lan Wangji. I will accept it.

My sentimental heart loves how scared Wei Wuxian is for Lan Wangji here. All that time wearing the One Ring—I mean, holding the Yin Iron, is really wearing him down. (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself). But jokes aside, I love how Wei Wuxian is right there, instructing him on how to handle what’s going on and to not lose control, while the others are just kind of clueless as to what is happening or how to help. And even after Lan Wangji snaps out of it and says they have to go to the Chang Clan, Wei Wuxian’s expression still is one of great concern, and I doubt it’s out of fear for what the waiter has just told him. I think he’s just really worried about Lan Wangji. This is the first time that Lan Wangji has even been like this, even in the face of great danger, and Wei Wuxian is shaken by it.

Shows to watch during the Owl House Haitus!

We don’t know how long until season 2 of The Owl House premieres, but until then I know a lot of you guys need new shows to watch. So here are my suggestions!

*Disclaimer* I am only suggesting shows that I have watched. So there might be a few shows that I don’t suggest, purely because I haven’t seen them.

If you watched the show because you lacked proper LGBT representation as a child then try...

Steven Universe: This show has a wide array of LGBT characters and a complex story to boot. This show ends up having a lesbian wedding! Also multiple Non-binary characters! Plus it’s songs are straight bops.

Legend Of Korra: This show was one of the first instances of LGBT representation! While, compared to shows now, the representation is watered-down, it’s still a great show about a strong bisexual woman.

She-ra and the Princess of Power: This show has gotten some flack due to the POC representation ((As it should)) Though it is a kids show that made leaps and bounds when it comes to WLW representation in media. So while I can suggest this show, I also suggest that you do research on some of comments made by the creators.

If you heard Dana talk about Hieronymus Bosch and came running then try...

Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorprated: This show was fire! It wasn’t afraid to go dark on you, and it always had a good suspense too it. It was a unique twist on very well-known characters and diverted from the source material in all the right ways.

Welcome to Nightvale: This isn’t a cartoon, it’s a podcast, but I swear this thing is like if a Bosch painting came to life. It’s story is very sprinkled throughout the series so it’s good for a casual listen or an intense binge.

Over the Garden Wall: This thing is short but it’s so good! It’s just the right level of creepy. This thing doesn’t just play with the horror genre, it fricking juggles it and masters it. This show is honestly scarier than most horror movies, and yet they accomplish all this while keeping a PG rating.

Gravity Falls: Dana was originally on the crew for this show, and it makes sense. Both have similarities but Gravity Falls likes to keep it’s weird and strange as more of a constant background element, rather than in your face 24/7. Still, it’s a show that I don’t think any owl house fan would truly dislike.

If you came because you wanted to see a show where a girl got trapped in a unknown world then try...

Infinity Train: This show has people trapped on a magical train. This show is an expert at giving you -just- enough information. It gets to a point where, in the span of an hour, you get lost in the world with these characters.

Kipo Age of the Wonderbeast: This show is less magical and more sci-fi. It has a very unique take on the ‘lost in the magical world’ genre and all the characters are lovable. Also, the sound track for this show slaps, seriously I would watch this show just for the music alone.

Amphibia: This show’s plot moves at around the same pace as the Owl House, maybe even a bit slower. It’s an easy watch even though it’s very obvious that there is a bigger story a foot. Also it’s just straight up hilarious.

If you watched cause someone told you S2 might be toppling some governments then try...

Avatar The Last Airbender: This shows whole plot is getting a 12 year old boy to dismantle a 100 year old dictatorship so if that doesn’t get you interested then I don’t know what will.

Young Justice: While governments are never toppled, they are heavily critiqued. This show explores themes that aren’t typically explored in children’s shows, and honestly it’s a refreshing take on the superhero genre.

That’s all my suggestions. If you have any suggestions then don’t be afraid to add on.

Are You Happy? (Save Them Some Pie)

HAPPY 42ND BIRTHDAY, DEAN!! this is my gift to him for being my comfort person that i would hug on sight if given the chance 💗 love you dude, may you indulge in copious amounts of pie. ~ 1.5k words.

also dedicated to marlo ( @heller-jensen ), jace ( @thiscastielhasflown ) and dee ( @castee-yel ) thanks for bein real ones <3

[READ ON AO3]

The day had already started out weird enough.

Dean had woken up drenched in sweat, mind racing with the last lingering thoughts of a nightmare. A vamp nest that he and Sam had been hunting, Dean dying in the most ludicrous way possible, and driving Baby down a long road for an indiscriminate amount of time in a supposed heaven that his father (his father) also co-habited. Needless to say, the dream had come out of nowhere, but it was easy enough to forget once the smell of bacon made its way into his room.

Breakfast was hardy and quick, with enough coffee to fuel him for the rest of the day as he skimmed the internet for a possible case. He had the itch, but apparently, looking around at the three sleepy faces around him at the table, no one else did.

He packed up anyway, preparing for what would likely be an easy salt-n-burn; he’d be gone for only a few hours, tops. On his way out, Cas stops him before he can scale the stairs, arm gripping his shoulder tightly. There’s a memory, briefly—the same hand, the same shoulder. Blood.

Dean looks down at it. Back at Cas.

“…Yeah?”

After a moment, Cas lets go. He steps back half an inch as if he had forgotten himself. “Just…be careful.”

Dean nods, moving to leave again, taking the awkwardness as both a Cas thing and a morning thing and content to leave it at that. 

“And,” Cas says. Dean turns back.

“Come home.”

//

Dean picks up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Dean, hey! It’s, uh. It’s me. Krissy?”

Dean feels himself begin to smile, mindful of the road ahead of him. He balances his phone on his thigh while he drives.

“Hey, kid! Long time no call. How are you? Everything okay?”

The case had been as easy as Dean had suspected, but he had that familiar muscle ache and heaviness to his eyes that solo cases usually gave him.

Besides that, he was getting a little confused about all of the calls he’d been getting today. Before Krissy, it had been Garth, and before that, Claire and Jody and…

“Uh, yeah, dude, everything’s good. Um. How are you? How’s Sam and that angel of yours?”

Dean swallows to keep from choking, or potentially crashing the car.

“They’re good. Yeah…good.” Alive, he wants to say, back from the dead, probably in the DeanCave watching Scooby Doo without him. “Sorry, Krissy, ah,” he steps off the break to make a left, “I’m actually on my way home right now. Was there something I could help you with?”

There’s a pause, and Dean chances a glance at his phone to see if the call had dropped off. It hadn’t.

“Krissy?”

“I,” she huffs in what sounds like a laugh, “Nothing, Dean. You get home safe, okay?”

“Sure thing.”

“And hey,” Krissy says, before he can say his goodbyes, “Uh, make sure you save some pie for everybody else.”

Dean’s eyebrows furrow a bit, but he laughs. “I will. Take care of yourself.”

“Bye, Dean.”

“Ba-bye.”

//

Dean’s still mulling over the pie comment when he nearly falls down the stairs, squinting into the darkness of the Bunker.

“What the hell?” he asks, voice hoarse around the high note. “Guys?”

When there’s no immediate answer, Dean’s instincts kick in. He pulls out his gun and gently drops his bag, waiting a moment for his eyes to adjust so he can try for the stairs.

Before he can, though, the lights kick back on. His gaze locks onto the scene below, and Dean slowly lowers his gun.

“Happy birthday!” Jack says, the sound of a party horn whining shortly after. Beside him, Cas pulls the string of a party popper, and he jerks as bits of confetti fall around him and into his hair.

Skeptically, Dean starts descending down the stairs.

“You…this…” he manages.

“It’s your birthday, dumbass,” Sam says, swooping forward to slap a party hat on Dean’s head as soon as he’s made the landing. He smiles.

“Oh…kay.” Around them, the Bunker looks pretty normal. The only difference is the array of pies on one of the library tables, next to what looks like home made rice krispie treats, and a couple of birthday-themed plates and napkins. That, and the confetti from Cas’ party popper that litters the floor. “Are you sure?”

Cas frowns at Sam. “Sam was certain. I can’t imagine he’d get the day wrong, but he has had quite severe brain trauma over the years. Perhaps…” Cas reaches out to Sam’s head, probably intent on searching his brain for said trauma, or for the date of Dean’s actual birthday. Sam swats his hand away.

“Hey, no. My trauma is fine. Dean,” Sam redirects his attention to him, “It’s today. Did you really forget?”

Dean shrugs, trying to piece the day together from the beginning. Shitty dream, good breakfast, the three of them weirdly insisting on staying at the Bunker…the calls. Save some pie for everybody else.

He laughs. “So that’s what she meant.”

“That’s what who meant?” Jack asks. He’s wearing a party hat, too, with ridiculous stripes of blue and pink and purple patterned onto it. It matches the one currently strapped to Dean’s own. He shakes his head.

“You’re telling me all of you knew? This whole time? And…and…” He looks around again, pointing vaguely at the table and the confetti. “You put this all together for me?”

Sam shoves his arm playfully. “Course we did. Now quit pouting and come eat some pie.”

//

Sam is fast asleep, sprawled out on the couch hours later with one of his hands brushing the floor. Dean thinks he spots drool on the pillow underneath him. 

Cas has been quiet next to Dean, at least since Jack had disappeared into the kitchen an hour ago and hadn’t come back, thoughtfully tracing the lip of his beer bottle with his finger. 

“Something on your mind?” Dean asks, because he wants to know.

Cas continues unbothered. Scooby Doo reruns play in the background. Dean almost repeats the question, but Cas eventually lifts his gaze to stare at him.

“Are you happy?” 

Dean presses his mouth shut. Licks his lips. He takes just as long to answer.

“You know what,” he smiles. “I think I am.”

Cas smiles back at him, soft and genuine. The skin around his eyes crinkling tells more than the gentle upturn of his mouth. 

Dean swallows, nervously putting his beer down and turning it a few times until his fingers are wet with the condensation. 

“What, uh. What about you?” He swallows again. “You happy?”

What he really wants to ask, though, is if they were good. If, after recent events, they were still the same. If Cas was still fine with “just being.”

He’s quiet again. Dean thinks he deserves that, and tries to pay attention to the TV, but the voice in his head is too loud. Cas has to tap his knee to get his attention again.

“Hm?”

“I was saying,” he moves his hand back, “that I’m sorry I didn’t get you a gift.”

Dean stares at him. “What are you talking about?”

Cas looks confused, like he’s about to repeat what he just said. Dean stops him short with a wave of his hand. 

“Dude, you just got back from the dead, alright? That’s—that’s gift enough to last me a lifetime. Don’t worry about a gift.”

Cas frowns, and Dean rolls his eyes. It’s another few moments of tense silence, until Dean breaks it, his heart pounding in his chest.

“But, uh,” he says, “I might have a gift for you.”

“Dean, we don’t share a birthday. It’s not customary to gift me something, especially when I haven’t given you—“

“Cas,” he groans, officially putting his beer aside and facing him. Cas’ features are lit up with the colors of the TV. Dean reaches a hand up to pluck confetti from his hair, a green piece that he’d been eyeing all night. Hesitating, he lets his hand fall to Cas’ face, smoothing over his cheek and jaw. The TV paints his cheekbone purple. Dean brushes his thumb over it. “Just...shut up and let me do this.” 

Cas tilts his head, eyebrows furrowed in that way of his, and Dean thinks he looks perfect. When he dips forward and presses their lips together, it’s perfect, perfect, perfect. He’s warm, his face is burning, eyes almost watering when he pulls away.

Dean lets his forehead rest on Cas’, heartbeat still crazy. He closes his eyes. “We can have it, Cas. This. We can have this.”

Cas takes Dean’s face in his hands, lifts it a little to bring them face to face again, so that he’s looking into Dean’s eyes.

“I’d like that, Dean,” he says, and his eyes are wet, too. Happy, Dean thinks.

“Your gift to me?” Dean manages, smile wobbly. He’s teasing, trying to bring down the weight of this without getting rid of all of it. He likes this type of adrenaline rush, different from any hunt he’s been on. Better.

Cas smiles. “I think technically it was you that gifted me, but, yes. My gift to you, if you’ll take it.”

“Gladly,” Dean says.

Cas hums back, brushing his fingers through the hair at the nape of Dean’s neck. “Happy birthday, Dean.” He leaves a kiss on his forehead.

Happy. 

Dean thinks, for the first time, as he pulls more confetti from Cas’ hair, that it actually is.

Part 4 -

“What do you mean close down the camp and call the police?” said Pricilla, almost sounding shocked, “And risk getting closed for business? Are you crazy?”

“Don’t you find it even slightly suspicious that in the same night the bonfire area gets trashed twice, a dead animal gets found in a counselor’s bag and a counselor goes missing?” said Caroline, obviously unnerved.

Pricilla, however, seemed more unnerved by the group’s presence.

“Listen, kid,” she said, “That Hague girl was no good anyway, always prancing around like she owned the place,”

“You got that right,” muttered Sarah.

“She probably snuck out to meet her boyfriend and saw a rat on the way and that’s why she screamed,” Pricilla shrugged.

“Then what about her still missing?” Caroline questioned.

“Boyfriend probably took her home.” Pricilla said nonchalantly.

“Then what about the bonfire area and the message?” Caroline asked again.

“Boyfriend was probably a tool and thought it’d be funny to pull a stunt on all of us,” the old lady mumbled, “How am I supposed to know? You ask way too many questions too, kid, you sure you’re not Maybank in a wig?”

JJ snorted at the comment while Caroline simply shook her head, “We’re supposed to be expecting children tomorrow, doesn’t any of this sound even a little sketchy to you?”

“Yes, we are,” Pricilla nodded, pulling a cigarette and lighter out of her padded bra and lighting it directly inside the Wildcat Lodge, “And none of you kids will be getting in the way of that.”

“But the bonfire area is totally ruined,” John B joined in on the conversation.

“Well then I’d be heading off to bed if I were you,” Pricilla simply said, taking a long drag of her cigarette, “Wouldn’t want to wake up not in time to sort it out again tomorrow, would you?”

The four teens sighed and left the Wildcat Lodge. Somehow they had been the last group to return to the main area and all of their other fellow counselors had given up on looking for Madison a while ago, all believing the story of how she bailed on camp with her boyfriend.

“Somehow I’m not buying any of this,” said Caroline when they reached the girls’ cabin.

“As much as I’m going to enjoy not having Hague around, I’m gonna have to agree with Carrie on this one,” Sarah said.

JJ and John B agreed too, “None of this makes sense. How is nobody phased by Madison just disappearing?” JJ said.

“It’s because it’s Madison,” muttered Sarah, “she’s a witch,”

Caroline rolled her eyes, “It’s because Pricilla’s too afraid of going out of business and she’s willing to sell and believe any story just so she can keep this place running,”

John B nodded, “Yeah, if anyone’s a witch around here, it’s her,”

“As much as I used to love this place as a kid, ever since Pricilla’s daughter bailed on her she’s become totally bananas and she’s let this place slip majorly,” said JJ.

Everyone agreed once again.

“However, I don’t believe that Madison’s imaginary psycho boyfriend did all of this, regardless how much Pricilla tries to sell that to us,” JJ continued, “And with kids coming in tomorrow and the rest of us still basically being kids ourselves, this could be dangerous, and I say if nobody else wants to take this seriously, we take it in our own hands. Who’s with me?” JJ said, placing his hand in the middle of the circle they had subconsciously formed, expecting the others’ hands to land on it.

Caroline nearly tripped on her still drunken feet after hearing JJ speak so bravely. Her hand immediately shot into the circle and on top of his, almost on command, and if she wasn’t still under the influence of the quarter bottle of whiskey she had downed not too long ago, she’d have been extremely embarrassed at how fast she agreed with the boy. He looked down at their hands then up at her and winked. If she was questioning whether she was still crushing on JJ earlier, now she was sure.

John B’s hand was the one that followed almost equally as fast. Whatever JJ did – so did John B and vice versa, it was a little unspoken rule they’d set back in the day when they were still kids. The only person who still seemed adamant was Sarah, who stood there, arms crossed against her chest, an annoyed frown littering her forehead.

“What?” she snapped when they all turned to look at her, “You want me to take care of a bunch of kids with John B and look for my arch nemesis? Y’all must be tripping.”

“Come on, Sarah, it’s not about Madison,” pleaded Caroline, “Imagine if it were to happen to you, wouldn’t you want someone to come looking for you?”

Sarah bit the inside of her cheek, processing what Caroline was saying to her. She finally rolled her eyes and gave in, slapping her hand on top of the others’, “Ugh, fine, I’ll be part of whatever this is.”

“Yes!” said JJ excitedly, “This means that we can now be sort of like the Scooby gang.”

“I call dibs on Scooby!” said John B, making everyone snort at his comment, “What?” he said defensively, “There wouldn’t be a Scooby gang without a Scooby,”

Caroline shook her head, still smirking at the odd pair of boys her and Sarah had somehow had the chance to be paired up with, “Well the Scooby and the Scooby gang wouldn’t be able to do anything without at least trying to get some rest, so I suggest we head to bed. I doubt that whoever did this will try doing something again tonight. Besides, you heard Pricilla, we’ve gotta set the bonfire area early tomorrow, again.”

Sarah groaned loudly, “Ugh, don’t remind me, let’s go,” she said, stomping up to the door of their cabin and entering the triangular wooden building.

John B also turned to walk towards the boys’ cabin, leaving JJ and Caroline behind.

“So uh,” JJ said, smiling at the girl, “Thanks for agreeing to this, C,”

“Of course,” Caroline said, again too quickly for her liking, “It would suck if something bad did happen to Madison and no one did anything about it,”

“Nah, I was talking about you being partners with me,” JJ said, “Madison might’ve actually ditched for all we know,”

Caroline’s cheeks were on fire again and she was hoping that the yellow lights guiding the pathways towards all the camp’s buildings weren’t allowing JJ to see that.

“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then,” JJ said when Caroline took too long to say anything.

She quickly nodded, “Yeah, I’m looking forward,”

“Yeah, me too,” JJ winked at her and walked away towards his cabin, her entering hers with literal hearts in her eyes.

Missing or not, Madison’s disappearance and the rollercoaster that was their first day had somehow ensured that this summer was in fact going to be one to look forward to.

~~~~~~~

A/N: This was a short chapter and I wanted to get it out of the way because it was also the last chapter before the camp actually begins hehe

Let me know what you think so far, I'm updating this daily so that I can get to the substance of the story and set up its universe and characters x

harry's house - larry stylinson theory

so, I listened to the album as if love of my life was the first song and the sushi one the last

for me, this album represents the time period since 2017 (I believe they had a big fight after the bbg started but they stayed together - but a lot of things which shouldn't be said were said and it still affects the relationship, but idk exactly when this fight happened), but the parts that weren't told us in fine line (that's why it's his house, because he opens his heart for us and fl was just like the love part and this one is sadder). Also, he sometimes brings some memories from before 2017.

- Love of my life: I think this song represents a couple (H&L) who had to stay apart during a time period and it affected the relationship (not necessarily a fight) and know H's trying to prove that he really loves L, no matter what.

- Boyfriends: this one represents when they really started the fight: one of them (idk which one) said something pretty bad and they tryied to get back but then they have sex and fight and this song represents how they/he felt about it

- Satellite: I feel a bit that this song answers habit (thanks for the one who showed this on twitter and let me feel the same), louis did something bad and it made them breakup and harry shows that he is always waiting for him

- Keep Driving: it shows a little bit of harry's life without louis - alcohol, having sex with strangers, drugs and good memories from when they were together

- Daydreaming: it's probably about a stunt, when he says "she says love like you pay me" it's, in my point of view, bcs he is trying to have a relationship with another person (or maybe just having sex idk) and this person say to him to fake love like he fakes love with the stunts for cameras and the part that he asks for love it's like if he was talking to louis or seeing him more one time when trying to be apart and asking for love bcs he can only dream with the real love that comes from louis

- Cinema: idk if this is about them two, but it clearly describes a sex moment and it shows how much harry really likes to stay with this person and how he feels (afraid) of feeling to much

- Matilda: this is only about harry; it's about how he felt when he told his family that he isn't straight - in lights up he shows that he wants everything stays the same, but in here he shows what really happened. it looks like as if someone asked for help in doing this and he tells the truth (that it can hurt, but this person doesn’t depends on relatives just in themself).

- Little Freak: I do not feel good commenting in this song, bcs I think that this looks like louis' point of view but I also think that this is not his so idk how I feel with this song yet

- Daylight: this one feels like and answer to always you - how he got crazy and tried to make contact, and how much he was trying to everything make him contact louis

- As It Was: harry realizes that everything won't be the same again but this person (louis) can't be replaced and then he starts to fall again and his friends try to help him (harry you are no good alone verse)

- Grapejuice: this song represents when they are trying to get back - harry mentions 1982 and i searched lgbt's rights in this year and some places made good things for our community in this year (france removed homosexuality from its official list of mental illnesses, for example)

- Late Night Talking: it's about them being back as a couple and harry showing how much he would do everything bcs he loves L sm

- Music For A Sushi Restaurant: maybe this represents a moment that they had (probably when they went on a date again or something like that) with a new song - maybe they were eating sushi or something like that, they could even been watching scooby-doo bcs he uses scuba-duba-dubub-boo and who knows if this is not a reference for this

Also, a lot of things in the songs remember to one direction's songs so...

maybe I am missing something that I forgot to write here, but that's life. I'll end this with something that I saw on twitter

[justagaycryptid]

Wow! Not a big fan of all the racism and general bigotry I’m seeing around the new Velma show. 

Like I’ve got my own criticisms of it like there being no Scooby (though from what I can tell this doesn’t appear to be their fault; looks like Warner Bros said no which, not much can be done about that), and I feel like they could have put a little more effort into some of the character designs like for Shaggy, since I’ve seen a lot of really really good raceswap designs people have done for him and the design for the show doesn’t really resemble Shaggy at all past the clothes. Though I actually really like how Velma looks. Daphne is fine though there’s something about her new hairstyle that I don’t like but I don’t know what. Fred looks basically the same so not much to say there. Some people have also brought up a couple concerns with the gang getting dangerously close to being racial stereotypes but I don’t think I have any authority to comment on that. Also I am not excited for the idea of Velma being with Fred since I’ve heard that’s something they’re planning, though Fred also sounds like an absolutely insufferable character now. Damn, lesbian Velma couldn’t have lasted for at least a little bit longer? Mainly I’m worried it’s going to be exactly like every other dark gritty reboot of a kid’s show aimed towards adults and won’t be enjoyable at all. Not sure if I’ll watch it myself but I don’t hate it for existing. Though I did see someone say that that one piece of promotional art with Fred looks kinda like it was drawn by a 16 year old yaoi artist and omfg I’m sorry but that’s really funny. 

I’m also really concerned that it’s not going to be fun to watch because from what I’ve seen so far, these characters do not really seem to like each other. If I wanted to watch a bunch of assholes fighting I would go watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But who knows! I could be wrong and it could be enjoyable and the characters could be well written and likeable. 

Though another concern that I’ve seen and that I agree with is that the show might focus too much on pissing off the people who are all ‘waaa I don’t want things to change, if I made a black character white imagine what people would say, waaa I’m a baby that can’t handle when everything is not about me’ rather than focusing on making a show that’s actually good. Like I’ll admit I would absolutely pull the shit they did in the Velma trailer because I’m petty, though maybe a little more subtly because I feel like the trailer was kind of heavy handed but to be fair they are more than entitled to be able to make fun of racists that are bitching about how the cast is more diverse now. But that shouldn’t take the backseat to making an enjoyable experience for people who actually like/are excited for the show. 

But yeah the sheer amount of racism, homophobia and transphobia I’ve seen is absolutely astounding. I mean I really shouldn’t be surprised but holy fucking shit I always forget just how much people hate queer people and people of color whenever I step outside my normal internet bubble. I wish I could just say it was disappointing but sometimes it’s just really fucking scary knowing that there are so many people out there who hate you by virtue of your existence. Like yeah that’s old news and everyone, especially black people, is always at least somewhat aware of it but still.

Secret dating - Pete Davidson x singer!reader

First thing, I am sorry for my rather long absence I was moving to another country and way to stress. But now I have to spend ten days in quarantine so I will try to catch up and write all the asks I received in the meantime. So sorry for the delay and I hope the waiting will worth it!!

Also this is the first part of a small series about Pete x singer!reader because I had few asks on this theme! Hope you will enjoy

 Words: 1600+

Warning: none I guess

You had been dating Pete for few months. You decided to keep it low profile. It wasn’t really a secret; your friends and families were aware that you were together but you didn’t want the whole world to know. You had seen Pete’s debacle with his exes, and he witnessed yours. You both agreed to not to make it public this soon since you wanted to avoid paps, gossips articles, harassment online and to hear everybody’s opinion. You were surprised that no one caught the two of you or speculated on your relationship. Maybe the both of you being friends for years, evolving within the same circle of people helped you. When people saw the two of you strolling, getting ice cream together, no magazines titled about how cute this date was but rather on how good it was for you to have such good friends in your life.

These past couple of weeks, it had been hard to spend some quality time with Pete. You had to flew to LA to assist to the Grammys and you missed your boyfriend so much through out the ceremony. You wished that you could have hold his hands during the stressful waiting, kissed him when you heard your name, thanked him when you gave your acceptance speech or feel his hand drawing absurd figure in your back to relax you while you were waiting to perform. Then after going back to New York, you hadn’t had that much time. Your publicist had packed you with interviews and gigs during late night shows. It was tiring but worth it. Your career was on a clear path to success. You were finally considered as not another pop star but one of the biggest artists out there. Pete was so supportive of you. You lived for his lovely text messages to give you strength before each performance or his compliments on how beautiful you looked on TV, how smart your answers were, how funny you were during an interview game.

You had eventually managed to find an afternoon just for you and Pete. You enjoyed a home-cooked meal at his place and could help but melt every time he was laughing while recounting his week. You simply spend the rest of the afternoon watching cartoons. It was your way to decompress together. Pete would always prepare some snacks while you set everything up. Then you would lose at least ten minutes to choose which cartoons or movies to watch. You usually had long debate on whether SpongeBob was better than Scooby-doo. Pete would always take you in his arms while you were watching, peppering your neck with kisses and smelling your hair. He liked the smell of your shampoo arguing that it reminded him of happiness. That was so cliché and yet so adorable, you couldn’t make fun of this cheesiness.

You were slowly falling asleep engulfed by Pete’s warmth, this was cozy, it felt like home. Suddenly, you heard your phone buzzed and sighed. It was your agent, asking you where you were to pick you up to go an interview. You texted her your address while you looked for something to put on for the TV. You liked very much the clothes you had on but you doubted that their shades would be nice on camera. As you were researching the perfect outfit in underwear, trying on several combo, you congratulated yourself for letting some clothes at your boyfriend’s place. You were hesitating between two tops and asked Pete’s opinion. After a quick joke on how good you looked in underwear and that you probably should go like this, he made up his mind for the baby blue top.

You rushed outside to be picked by your team but not before sharing a sweet but passionate kiss with Pete and agreeing to spend the night at your place after the show. Your team smiled at you knowingly as you entered the car but they didn’t make any comment on your relationship. You discussed the show, the possible questions and what the best answers would be… The ride was pretty quiet after that and you soon arrived at the building where the show was taped. You were warmly welcomed by the host. You had already done some interviews with him, he was easy to talk to, always made you comfortable and was rather fun to be around. He lead you to the make-up artist trailer who didn’t fail to notice your tired look but promised you that it was nothing than a bit of foundation and powder could hide. Indeed, after only 15 minutes there you were glowing, looking fresh, like a fairytale princess leaving her bed.

As you were waiting to be called on stage, you received a message from Pete telling you that he was excited to see you on the show, that no matter what you were the best and that he was eager to see you tonight to finish the nap you had started together. You quickly replied before entering the stage. The interview went rather smoothly. You had begun with questions about your last album and upcoming project teasing a possible collab with Taylor Swift. The crowd went wild at this info and you knew that you would certainly end up in top tweets. After a commercial, you played a game with the host where you had to sing a random song imitating another artist. Clearly, it was not your forte, but you were funny enough to make it a good moment to watch. Then, you proceeded to answers some more interrogations from the public that could be found on social media. Those questions were a lot more personal and globally more focused on your art, compositions, writing skills, inspiration. You were passionate, your eyes were big with enthusiasm and you did a lot of gesture with your hand with made the host smile.

You were so happy that when a question about your dating life came up, you didn’t think twice before saying “Well I am the luckiest person, I have my dream career and dating Pete Davidson is just the cherry on the top, you know. He is just so perfect for me, like me understand and support each other, it just so great when you can share all those moments with someone you love and trust.” As you finished your rant, you noticed how the host was staggered. You finally realized what you had revealed and blushed furiously. “Did you just announce publicly that you are dating SNL cast member Pete Davidson?”. It was like words were dying in your throat and you envisioned Pete’s reaction at this. Surely it was not how you had planned to go public. You nodded shyly and the show stopped there. The host thanks the audience who was visibly thrilled, and you made your way backstage. You compulsively checked your phone every five seconds waiting for a text from your now very public boyfriend. But none came and it was worse. You felt so bad, you never wanted to put him in such a position, you were not sure that he was ready to go public, face the world’s reaction but here you were because you couldn’t keep your mouth shut.

Your team drove you back to your place assuring you that it was okay, he couldn’t be mad at you for this but actually he legitimately could. They insist that you should check your social media, people were very supportive of you, saying that you were so cute together, goals… however you didn’t think that it was a good idea right now, you head spinning with the prospect to face Pete.

You silently entered your house waiting for Pete to arrive, a huge lump in your stomach. You felt so guilty, obviously you had to ruin everything, didn’t you. You were in your kitchen drinking a hot cocoa to calm your nerve when you heard Pete unlocked your front door with his spare keys. You didn’t dare to approach him and let him come in the room, your hands shaking so bad that you had spilled some hot beverage on it. You didn’t really feel the burning sensation, you were too scared of what he would say. To make it even more torturing he remained silent as he glanced at you. he eventually approached you and put away your cup as he took your injured hand in his. He put it under cold water and you let him do it, not understanding what was happening. “Do you think that I hate you or that I am angry at you for making it public without talking about it first?” he stated more than questioned as he stood behind you with his hand on yours. “Yes” you sighed looking down. He made you turned to face him and since you were still not looking at him, he put gently his hand on your face and lift it up. His face was so calm and soft, not what you were expecting at all. “I don’t mind, I mean sure it would have been better to discuss it and find a way together to announce it but you didn’t did on purpose. You were just so excited and you didn’t really think of it so I can’t blame you. I certainly would have done the same. Also, how I can be mad at someone who is so cute and so adorable when talking about me. You know what you say about us, it means a lot to me, a lot more than you can imagine. I love you, okay, and I don’t care if the whole world knows as long as you know it.” He smiled down at you and brushed away some tears that you hadn’t realize where rolling down your face. He cusped your cheeks and kissed your forehead as you buried yourself in his shirt.

Itachi/Freddy from Scooby Doo 👀

okay, listen, I’m serious in how good this ship is if people open their minds to it

hear me out: 

So let’s put it in a crossover where Itachi and Kisame get nearly run over by the gang, who are on their way to a creepy mansion or something on Halloween. Fred, of course, was stubborn about asking for directions at the last gas station, and turned the wrong way into the Elemental Nations like the goofus that he is.

So the van comes to a screeching halt, and before Kisame can kill all of them as a startle reflex, Fred jumps out of the car, apologizing profusely to the two. He compliments their outfits in turn, and sheepishly asks if they’ve seen any mansions around here, preferably on the spooky side?

(Velma isn’t so sure about the Costume thing, but real shinobi don’t exist and she supposes they’re cosplayers really dedicated to their craft and excited to show off on Halloween. Daphne just wants to know where they get their excellent make-up.)

Kisame, ever the honest guy, comments on a mansion they passed by a few miles back, medium-level on the spookiness. Fred thanks them, and before anyone can stop him, invites them to come solve the mystery with them! And, well, maybe if they could lead the way to the mansion they saw? 

Itachi has a weird look on his face. Kisame knows that look; he sees it whenever Deidara is around. So before Kisame can say anything, Itachi immediately agrees to help. He scoots in up front with Fred, and they’re practically sharing a seat. Kisame sighs, and climbs into the back of the van where Shaggy and Scooby are sitting. They notice his sword thing is, like, moving, man, but the rest of the gang wave the two off as paranoid. Kisame goads them to pet Samehada if they dare, but Shaggy and Scooby emphatically decline.

Fred natters away as they drive off, asking Itachi questions like if he likes The Ascot Five and his thoughts about the warm weather lately. Itachi listens with a quiet and intense focus that would make anyone else blush. Velma and Daphne give each other a Look, but don’t say anything else. 

There’s otherwise overall little comment on respective appearances as they continue on; the gang aren’t too freaked out by Kisame yet, since they mistake him dressing up as some kind of ninja Jabberjaw, and Itachi just assumes Scooby-Doo is a particularly bizarre and ineffectual summons. It’s just another day in the Elemental Nations, really. 

The van, though. The van remains a vexing enigma to Itachi.

---

They arrive at the sprawling mansion grounds of a nobleman that Itachi and Kisame passed by before. Hilariously, it turns out there is a problem: the nobleman’s employees claim the mansion is being menaced by the spirits of a bandit gang that terrorized these lands in the past. In a comedy of errors, and assuming they’re all the shinobi who accepted his mission request, the nobleman welcomes them all inside.

Figuring it always worked before in these cases, Fred decides the gang should split up: Itachi going with Fred, Velma and Daphne, and Kisame going with Shaggy and Scooby. Fred tries to sweeten the deal that gosh, Itachi seems really smart, and it would be great if he could come with them.

This entire time, many things have been happening in Itachi’s brain at once:

-Itachi likes a person who can take the lead and tells him what to do, even dorky ascot-wearers -Itachi hasn’t received a sincere compliment in 745 days, and it was getting to him, honestly -Itachi admires how much Freddy commits to completing a mission mystery -Itachi finds Fred’s fashion and looks... Good, Actually -Itachi has a very quiet and horrifying fondness for bossy blonds 

Meanwhile, for Fred, terrifying things are also happening in his brain:

-Fred is into people who can physically and mentally intimidate him -Fred is also stupid enough to believe Itachi’s not capable of murder -Fred is prone to conspiracy theories, and finds Itachi’s general weirdness and his Mysterious Past™️ Energy very thought provoking -Fred totally saw Itachi eying his ascot appreciatively, and wowzers that cloud cloak is a Good Look on him -Bossy blonds tend to have an unfortunate attraction to Itachi (see: Deidara) and Fred is no exception

Daphne just rolls her eyes knowingly, seeing the squeaky hamster wheel of infatuation spinning in Freddy’s head. Velma, meanwhile, now believes jackshit of what Itachi’s presenting himself as, but unfortunately is also intrigued in a Narratively Compelling way, and wants to see what happens between the two.

Daphne sighs. They’re all hopeless. But it’s fine. The guy’s probably harmless enough for Fred to have a crush on, anyway. 

Meanwhile, Shaggy and Scooby just appreciate having someone very scary on their side FOR ONCE. But Kisame is like, HYPER SCARY, MAN. Hopefully the mystery is wrapped up in a couple hours and they can get the heck outta here. 

----

The mystery takes 10 minutes.

“Are you two done cowering?” Kisame asks as he pulls the locked door to the ornate bathroom off of his hinges, and looks inside at the terrified occupants. 

“Kisame! Wh-wh-what happened to the g-ghosts?” Shaggy asks, peeking between his fingers covering his face from where he’s hiding in the linen closet. 

“Reah! The rhosts!” Scooby echos, poking his nose up out of the full bubble bath.   

“Oh. I killed them,” is all Kisame says to that, sliding Samehada onto his back. “Let’s go.” 

Shaggy... chooses to take it as a metaphor. 

Meanwhile, the other roving miasma of ghost bandits descend on the rest of the gang, boxing in Fred, Daphne, and Velma at the edge of a cliffside ravine that is inexplicably right outside the back of the mansion.

Itachi goes to pull a kunai out of his sleeve, but Fred’s yell stops him. 

“Itachi! You can’t take all of them at once!” Fred cries. He rifles through his pockets, grabs what he’s looking for, and throws it to Itachi. “Here!” 

Itachi catches the keys, and nods solemnly. He knows exactly what to do.

3 seconds later:

IMAGINE ITACHI DRIVING THE MYSTERY MACHINE, FULL THROTTLE, CRASHING INTO THE CROWD OF ‘GHOSTS,’ AND SAVING THE DAY. 

The gang gets away from the ravine edge, safe and sound. Fred wipes away the paint on one of the more conscious ones, and it turns out the “ghost bandits” are just a group of regular bandits, taking advantage of the nobleman’s very public fear of spirits to harass and rob him. 

“I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling shinobi!” the leader coughs out, a bit of blood trickling down his mouth as he groans from internal van injury. 

Fred... chooses to interpret the blood as a theatrical effect. He also hugs Itachi, congratulating him on such a great job on his very first mystery! 

“We’ll make an amatuer sleuth out of you yet!” Fred crows, pleased. 

“Hn,” says Itachi. 

In the meantime, Itachi gets them all to turn around and ushers them back into the slightly dented van, so they don’t see Kisame murdering all the bandits behind them.

The nobleman thanks them, and they drive off, on their way to a new mystery.

Fanfic Review

Tagged by @ave-aria

How many works do you have on ao3?

190 fics, and not including the ones that are still on here.

What’s your total ao3 word count?

...oh wow. 1,015,710. I crossed the million words. I knew, because this isn’t including the original fic and the stuff on here, that I crossed a while back, but I didn’t realize I’d done so on ao3.

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Oof. That’s... Danny Phantom, Supernatural, Rise of the Guardians, My Hero Academia, Voltron Legendary Defender, Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gravity Falls, Gundam 00, Mystery Skulls Animated, Scooby-Doo, Pokemon, Skulduggery Pleasant, Bungo Stray Dogs.

So... a lot of fandoms.

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Black to Blue- Voltron

Blue to Black- Voltron

Reincarnation Blues- Bleach

Texas Hold-Em- Voltron

Check Out These Scars- Voltron

....I wasn’t expected that last one. Kinda funny that it’s the Lance/Matt rarepair that made it into the top 5 kudos.

Which of your fics do you want more attention for?

Let’s Do The Time Warp. I know that writing for Voltron after the way it ended makes things really rough for anyone to read, but I would love if this got more attention.

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I... don’t. I probably should, for some, but I have the tendency to gush about my writing and that can lead to spoiling the story, which isn’t something I want to do.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh god, that’s... either The Ticking Clock or Bad Morning. That they both are Danny Phantom and have the same premise says much about writing for the Phandom.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I do! The craziest one has to be... Blood Ties. Making Tsuna into a Quincy is the funniest and most chaotic thing and makes me laugh.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Long ago, but way way back on ffn I have.

Do you write smut? if so what kind?

Oh. Oh yes. Quite a lot, and quite a bit. Mostly m/m, but once m/f.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

So far, I haven’t.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not. I don’t think I’d be very good at it?

What’s your all time favorite ship?

Shance. I might adore KyuuNaru but Shance is the one to hold my heart.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

A Cure For Wellness. I had this whole entire story more to write, but somehow the muse for this lasted all of the three weeks it took to write out what’s been published and I never got to the rest of it. I’d love to have the muse return to write out the remaining story but I don’t think I ever will.

What are your writing strengths?

Almost everything? Like, I would definitely put down battles, but also I enjoy dialogue and character body language and describing settings.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Definitely internal thought processes. I don’t do well when it’s one character alone and ruminating on their thoughts because it feels so tedious and recap-y, despite working so so well in everything else written ever.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

It’s... I mean, I’ve done it, but I don’t enjoy doing it all that much? Like, yeah it’s natural but feels rough to work around.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Naruto. Definitely Naruto. I just can’t remember if that was Lucidity or some unpublished smut I lost years and years ago.

What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Favorites? In this writer? That’s so– I have to choose? Can’t I just say “all of them” and be done with it? No?

...Bound to You. The arranged marriage shance fic, and it is so soft and intimate and I just... love it. A love story built in a single room, where they can only rely on each other and the things they can do for each other. Love is stored in the little acts of intimacy and domesticity.

What fic are you most proud of?

This one. This one is tough, but... Black to Blue. Writing both realities in alternating chapters is constantly a challenge, especially when they’re both along the same timeline and covering the same events. I have to be so aware of what’s happening and sometimes I can’t help but accept that dialogue would not change and do a copy-paste. I think I’ve managed so far, though, which is incredible and that it all comes together and works blows my mind.

Am I tagging anyone? Oh, I’m tagging @dreamwraith and @sapphireswimming and @lexiepiper and @alexkablob

[mittensmorgul]

Hi Mittens! Happy holidays! I love your meta and I had a question: I've seen you make a couple posts about Miracle lately, and while I'm definitely angry at canon replacing Cas with a dog, I was kind of taken aback at some of your comments about Dean and dogs (specifically how much you seem to hate that combination; I've never felt strongly about it one way or the other). Do you have a tag or post about your feelings on Dean and dogs? Or could you explain in a little more detail, please?

Hi hi!

Dean... has never been associated positively with dogs on this show-- up to and including that scene in Scoobynatural where he does the SCOOBYDOOBYDOOOOO! and Cas rolls his eyes and tells him flat out he’s not a talking dog. I mean, even in one of Sam’s heaven memories, he’s effectively replaced Dean with a dog... so while Dean was being implied-harshly-punished by John for “losing” Sam, Sam had been having the time of his life with a dog instead... Sorry, I’ve got a lot of resentment for dog symbolism in the show...

Cas has also been associated with dogs in a lot of... let’s go with derogatory comments, and since this dog in the finale was SPECIFICALLY a replacement for Cas in Dean’s life... I find it particularly insulting, you know?

5.14: We get dog comments about Cas and Dean both in this ep. Famine refers to Cas as Dean’s dog... “You sicced your dog on me, I threw him a steak.” And we see Cas crouched on the ground eating meat. Earlier in this ep, Sam teased Dean about his lack of any “appetite” for anything with the comment, “when a dog doesn't eat-- That's when you know something's really wrong.“

7.21: after being banished, he reappears at a dog track, where the dogs were unhappy. so... Cas was basically just another unhappy dog in this part of the story.

10.22: Rowena compares Cas to a “dog who thinks he’s people” for being an angel who rejected heaven and chose his family with the Winchesters.

10.23-11.03: Cas is literally under a spell referred to as “Attack Dog,” which he fights against but is slowly turning him into a killing machine. He seeks help from Heaven, but they only want to use him, to torture information out of him and then kill him once they get what they want. It’s implied he even kills a dog in 11.01.

11.06: when Cas is in the bunker still suffering from trauma related to the attack dog spell, lying in bed and watching tv, he changes the channel to a news story about a dog riding a skateboard, and the newscaster uses Rowena’s line from 10.22: “Aw, that dog thinks it’s people!”

12.19: Lucifer refers to Cas as the Winchesters’ “purse dog,” and s12 is littered with dog references, especially between Lucifer and Crowley (which started back in s11 when Lucifer was using Cas’s vessel and treating Crowley like a dog... there’s a lot of negative baggage attached to dogs on this show)

13.16: Scooby is obviously the one dog Dean’s okay with, having positive childhood associations with him. But when comparing themselves to the scooby gang, Sam says they don’t have a talking dog, and Dean replies that Cas is sort of like a talking dog... which is interesting because at the end of the episode Cas tells Dean he’s NOT a talking dog. And this, in a scene that was directly foreshadowing Dean becoming Michael’s suit...again, more negative baggage for both of them.

The Dean vs Dogs imagery really kicks in when Dean’s soul is destined for Hell in s3, though.

3.10: In his rant to his dream self, Dream!Dean accuses Dean of being as “mindless and obedient as an attack dog,” just a few lines before he gives the “daddy’s blunt little instrument” line that Cas reminded us of in 15.18. So I do think this is something that the writers couldn’t possibly have been unaware of in invoking that specific line and the specific baggage attached to it.

3.11, one of the MANY deaths Dean suffers is from a seemingly nice dog he tries to pet in a friendly manner. The nice golden retriever mauls him to death, like the hellhounds are due to do to him in just a few short episodes... 

3.16: literally torn apart by hellhounds... don’t know how else to make it clear that Dean Is Not A Fan of this.

4.06: suffering from Ghost Sickness, and being magically forced to experience heightened levels of fear, he runs from a lil Yorkie with a bow in its hair, pausing only long enough to warn another person on the street to run before it kills them. We are invited to see how his biggest fear-- of Lilith, of being tortured in Hell, and having been dragged there by hellhounds-- is literally tied to his feelings toward actual dogs, including nonthreatening little lap dogs.

6.01: When Dean falls under the djinn’s spell, he hallucinates an unseen monster, presumably something akin to a hellhound, but when he thinks he’s caught the monster, it’s the neighbor’s Yorkie. Just like in 4.05, Dogs, Hellhounds, and Things Dean Fears In His Soul are all tangled up together.

6.08: aka that one episode I forget exists until it comes back around on the loop (actually I don’t forget it exists anymore, I’ve seen the show too many times at this point, but meh...). But it does plant this fear, that any dog anywhere might not really be a dog. The “sleeper cell” skinwalker packs in cities all over the world? Yeah, not a happy thought for someone who really doesn’t like dogs. Or at the very least has a low-key fear of them.

7.15: I would qualify this one as just “symbolism,” but since this episode is full of anvils, it feels legit to mention that the spell Jeffrey uses to summon his demon back to him involves using Dean’s blood and a dog’s heart. Not really a dean/fear thing, but Dean AS a dog-- and a sacrificed dog at that.

8.01: When Dean gets back from Purgatory, he gets in the Impala and smells dog. Bringing on the famous rule that he’s quite angry about Sam having clearly violated even when he wasn’t on the same plane of existence at the time-- No dogs in the car. He’s still clearly not a fan. Early s8 becomes a long string of “Sam hit a dog” comments, too.

8.15: for all this episode’s grossness, it does remind us over and over again that Dean really does not like dogs. Even flat out having Dean say he likes dogs, and the woman who literally is a dog familiar tells him that no, he doesn’t.

9.05: Dean... is basically a dog. He bonds with the Colonel a bit, even identifies with the dog while he’s under the spell, but all that good will that built up between them effectively shatters again with the ominous last words he gets before the spell wears off and the knowledge that dogs were not created to be man’s best friend, but had some other-- and in this context seemingly sinister-- purpose.

And then we have every other ep that deals with Hellhounds, Dean’s failure to kill one leading to Sam taking on the trials instead of him, tied up in their mutual discussion of what they see as their respective futures-- Sam wants to live, and he wants Dean to live, too, instead of Dean constantly running toward death and self-sacrifice. So like, these themes are all tied up together, and makes all the dog stuff incredibly not fun when it comes to Dean specifically.

So when Dean does lose Cas-- and everyone else on the planet-- the dog being the ONE living being they’ve found, Dean picking her up and putting her in “Cas’s place” in the car, only to have Chuck snap her away like she was a manipulative trick the entire time? Not even really real, just one more thing to give Dean a tiny bit of hope only to maliciously snatch it away again?

And then for the SINGLE thing Dean asked for from Chuck being to bring Cas back?

And then he doesn’t get Cas back, but apparently kidnaps this random dog instead?

It’s just... indescribably weird to me, and so entirely out of character and insulting to Cas on top of it all. Like this was the only happiness Dean was allowed after saving the universe. No found extended family, no life outside of Sam and hunting, no dream of retiring and finding a beach to sink his toes in the sand for a little while. He just gets a dog, which he canonically doesn’t like and has a lot of issues with for entirely understandable reasons. So like.. .how is this cute or happy or nice?

Young Love

Toshinori Yagi/All Might x Reader

Summary: Toshinori doesn’t want his little girl growing up too fast...so what is the logical thing he does? BANS THE BOYS!!!

Builds off of this headcanon

Masterlist

Extended Ending

It was the little things he noticed, you know? His daughter would be watching Spirited Away and sigh away wistfully once Haku was gathered together by the thousands of colored pixels on the screen. His young daughter would also giggle uncontrollably when he would introduce her to the many pro heroes, especially upon meeting Hawks....and it didn’t help that he only indulged her childish crush upon him by holding her hands as she babbled away to him, let her touch the feathers upon his wings. His daughter may have been 5 and the heroes were just smitten by how adorable she was....but it didn’t change the fact that it made his heart sink to the depths of his abdomen whenever she would make googly eyes at boys. It drove him insane! That was his little girl! He didn’t want to be reminded that one day she would date and then pack up and move away! This fear reached its limit though once he began to take her along with him when he taught class 1A. That was the last straw...

Her eyes scanned over the many future heroes...but once they landed upon Shoto Todoroki? It was over for her young, tiny heart. At first she was too shy to even look at him, but finally she began to edge her way up to his side while other groups were doing scenarios, small hand tugging on his pants leg to grab his attention.

“Hi...what’s your name?” She whispered out, the young teen only leaning down a bit to hear her, his face derived of any emotion as usual.

“I’m Shoto Todoroki...” he whispered back before standing up straight. His attention was only grabbed once again by another tug of his pants leg, looking back down to the young girl beside him.

“You want some of my gummies?” She whispered out again, holding up one of those small packets of gummies that were usually shaped like spongebob, scooby doo, or maybe even Disney characters. Shoto only gave a nod of his head before opening the bag, offering her some before eating the rest (there never were that many in those packets). And just like that, she was hooked. She had begun with sharing little things with him, like her snacks she would bring. One time she even brought a bright pink beaded bracelet, offering it to him so they could match with the one she was wearing and he only once again calmly took it from her and slid it onto his wrist. Then her father began to learn how to braid hair. She would flaunt it off to everyone, but to Shoto?

“Shoto, do you notice anything different?” She would ask sweetly, giving a tiny little spin before him, which he only just looked. Honestly, he had no idea what the hell was different. Should he have known? But he finally decided on an answer.

“Is it...your ribbons?” He asked as he let his fingers tug on them gently, All Might’s young daughter only breaking out into a fit of giggles as she clutched onto his hand to give herself balance as she gave another turn to show her hair.

“No, silly! Daddy braided my hair different today!” She boasted as she reached one of her tiny hands to toss around the ends of her braids, the ribbons that were tied to the ends, that were once in bows, flopped about as she did so. “Do you know how to tie a bow though? The ones Daddy did fell out...” the young girl pouted, which Todoroki only motioned for her to turn around, a bright grin and the smallest of blushes on her cheeks as he redid her bows in her hair. Toshinori shouldn’t have been surprised when he would catch glances of his daughter talking to Todoroki and giggling that love sick giggle. Heck, he knew what was up the minute she shared her snacks!

She never shared her snacks! Not even with her own father!

But then she became bolder.....

“Shoto....can I hold your hand?” She asked sweetly as she rolled back and forth onto her tiptoes and back onto her heels.

“Hm...? Sure..” he simply stated, that goofy grin back upon her face as she reached her tiny hand up to his, his huge hand grabbing onto hers automatically as class continued on, the other classmates casting their glances to him and the young girl to give their little ‘awes’ at the cute scene they had just witnessed. It got to a point where she even stopped asking to hold his hand, she would just do it, skipping along side him and jumping over cracks if they had to walk somewheres.

“Awe...Todoroki is such a good friend.” Ururaka gushed out as he was once again fixing the ribbons in her hair as they stood around on the training grounds.

“He’s not my friend...he’s my boyfriend..” she corrected, Todoroki not really reacting much to the comment, though the older girl before her had to press a hand to her mouth to surpress her laughter as the young girl only once again grabbed onto his hand, humming and skipping away as the group began to move somewheres else. Though Toshinori had finally had enough one day on the way back home.

“Daddy....I really love Shoto...” his daughter sighed out as she kicked her legs around in the back seat, strapped into her car seat, fingers messing with the bright pink bracelet that Shoto also wore (he didn’t have the heart to take it off). Toshinori’s hand came slamming down on the edge of the steering wheel, glancing back to his daughter.

“Nope! This is not happening! You, young lady, are 5! You are too young! No more boys!” He said sternly, but he felt guilty as he heard her sniffles as he parked the car outside of you and Toshinori’s house, she already managing to unbuckle herself and stumble out of the car, wailing all the way with tears running down her face. You opened the front door with a confused look, your daughter already clutching onto your legs.

“Daddy is so mean!” She dramatically said through her wails, you kneeling down to begin wiping away her snot and tears from her face, you casting a glance to Toshinori that basically just asked ‘what the fuck is happening’. Which he only sighed to before speaking.

“She said she loved Todoroki, so I said that she was too young and so no boys.” He shrugged his shoulders, which his daughter only began to cry even loud as you stood up, picking her up along with you, her arms already clutching around your neck as you stepped into the house, Toshinori stepped in after you and shut the door.

“I love Todoroki....” your daughter continued to wail out “He’s my boyfriend...” which you only tried to hold back your laughter as you listened to the little girl wail over a boy and throwing a small tantrum over her father saying boys weren’t allowed. “Tell daddy that he can’t do that!” She said as she hiccuped, your hand soothingly rubbing against her back as you sat down onto the couch in the living room. Toshinori only stood before you, guilt creeping in the more he watched his daughter cry.

“Toshinori...take back what you said..” you finally mumbled out as you rocked your daughter, giving him a glance. You raised your eyebrows, motioning him to begin speaking. Toshinori only gasped for air, wanting to protest, but that look you gave him silenced his rebukes he wanted to make, sighing in defeat.

“I take back what I said..” he mumbled out, your daughter’s cries finally stopping as she pulled away from your chest, looking back to her father with her red, puffy eyes, sniffling and hiccuping still from her crying.

“Look..see? Now go give daddy a hug and a kiss to make up.” You spoke out as you set her down on the ground, which she tiredly walked up to her dad, reaching her hands up which he soon picked her up, giving her a hug while she gave a quick kiss to his cheek before resting her head down onto his shoulder, totally exhausted from her crying.

Toshinori had to give it to Shoto Todoroki though....he has got to be the world’s best virtue holder of patience....

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I don't really do angsty endings, because I'm baby, but the les trekkables fic you have and always will be ends with R dying (though as it's a star trek crossover you know Enjolras will figure out how to bring him back), and Soulmate Words and Solemn Promises is pretty sad but I'd say more bittersweet than angsty?

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

oh boy, I'm gonna have to say All In - I am honestly very proud of the epilogue, sometimes I reread it when I want to be emotionally devastated in a good way l m a o

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I do! difficult to say the craziest, as I feel like that's a matter of opinion, but I've written the aforementioned les trekkables with @dotsayers, as well as our dearly beloved but never published wondrous les hogwables (les mis/harry potter). @xaviersass and I workshopped about a million crossover AUs, including but not limited to xmen/grease, xmen/mr&mrs smith, xmen/suits, xmen/austen, xmen/potc, xmen/frozen, xmen/titanic, xmen/love punch, xmen/RED, xmen/aristocats, xmen/friends, and last but certainly not least, xmen/scooby doo :)

uhhh no. I would maybe be open to writing it, but not on my own askjdldsjkg it is too easy to make me cringe I would simply wimp out.

9. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I only respond to comments if the commenter asks a specific question I feel needs answering. why? I guess because I don't really expect authors to respond to me when I leave comments, I see it as more like the tag system on tumblr - a sort of passive feedback-like interaction?

10. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

yes, but only from that one asshole troll who was surfing the vc side of ao3 for a while

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

uhhh not that I know of?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

mmm not that I can think of

I am currently co-writing with @ellethinthewoods on our MONSTER of an untamed AU. I really really enjoy co-writing!!!

14. What’s your all time favourite ship to write for?

oh man, uh... that's a tough one. I don't feel like I can really give a definitive answer, as whichever ship is my current obsession will always feel like my favourite haha! though kirk/spock was definitely good fun, and I really enjoyed writing nieyao in Where There's A Will, There's A Road

15. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

hmmm. there will always be a place in my heart for les hogwables ngl, as well as the fireman azazel AU, but I am legit gutted I never finished the human!loustat fic... maybe one day, when that hyperfixation inevitably rears its head again ;_;

16. What are your writing strengths?

I find dialogue very easy to churn out, and I have been told that I have a very cinematic style of describing scenes, but I think my biggest strength is my STUBBORNNESS when I decide I am going to finish a fic, and I am good at sticking to writing deadlines

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

oh boy, I would say action sequences, and also REMEMBERING TO DESCRIBE THE CHARACTER'S SURROUNDINGS. I tend to intensely focus on the characters and their interactions and that can often really bog the plot down... if there even is a plot...

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I've thrown in bits and pieces of french in VC fics, but I'm not really confident in any other languages to do full dialogue without a native speaker advising me

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

ahhhh BEYBLADE my beloved

20. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

oh hmmm, tough one. All In is definitely up there, as is The Slow Path, but honestly I will go back and reread One Week, Things That You Can't Say Tomorrow Day, and Balance all the time if I want cheering up. the as yet unnamed absolute sprawling behemoth of an untamed AU is absolutely gonna be my fave once it's done tho.

tagging @guqin-and-flute, @adorablecrab, @justkeeptrekkin, and @vraik + @goth-mabel, if they fancy doing this!
