how do you think kevin told wymack he was his father? bc with all kevin's grace and eloquence, i truly imagine he walked into wymack's office, sat there in silence for a whole minute staring at his coach and when wymack was finally like "do you want something why tf are you in here staring at me?" kevin just said "you're my father. and we need to tell the press btw."

How amusing is it that a bunch of GO fans freaked out at a bit of PR talk by DT lmao
I guess most of them are too young to remember the DW days when he could PR his way out of saying anything of substance in interviews like the snake he was fated to become

*yells into the void* IS ANYONE STILL HERE, BECAUSE I AM, THANKS
Are you concerned about the next season of GO given you lost your director and the two lead actors have fallen out? Especially after working so hard to finish the story you and Terry envisioned?
I'm trying to figure out which two lead actors you're worried about here. David and Michael are still very much in love, after all.
We have a terrific director on board, so I'm not concerned about that.
I'll be concerned about the scripts until they are done and I know the story works (it's more than half-written). But I'll be concerned about that until the whole thing is shot and ready to be broadcast.

A little heartbroken by the news, not going to lie.
But I'm going to keep creating for this fandom, because the characters have made a place in my heart, and I suspect they'll stay there for a good long while. This show and the fandom have been such a joy to partake in during a really rough time in my life, and I appreciate that more than I can say. I appreciate all of you who make the fandom what it is, too.
I guess in the end, Season 2 gets to be whatever we make it. So you know what? Let's all share our Season 2s. Nobody's going to stop us or tell us we're wrong.
So here we go. The Season 2 in my heart, in no particular order:
Desire shows up and puts Charles Rowland through the absolute wringer. He is losing his entire mind, he wants Edwin so bad. This boy has 17 different crises and finally a realization that he has been head over heels for some decades and he is just an idiot, actually
Payneland confession and a first kiss
They get Niko back from the Neitherlands. She's some flavor of undead, and she is having a grand old time, actually
Jenny sets up a butcher shop in London and goes on a date that doesn't try to kill her. With the Night Nurse
Crystal has a corruption arc with David buried in her soul-tree soil and at first they don't realize what's going on, but in the end the boys find a way to go into her heart-space and help her resolve the problem
The boys dance on-screen with some of those skeleton choreography dances
Mick mysteriously also has a shop in London. It straddles time-space and also realms. The characters are all ????? but no one ever figures out wtf is going on with that
Tragic Mick saves the day like a big damn hero with a bazooka like in the comics
The Cat King is around, generally being his trickster self, causing problems for funsies. He dies again and comes back as a fluffy white cat with glam white fur clothes
Charles gets kidnapped somewhere and Edwin has to go and save him. It's very dramatic and parallels S1 Ep7
Monty makes a showing in crow form. He has so many cute bird mannerisms. He gets fluffy in the London cold
The boys return to St. Hilarion's. They find their respective remains and come to terms with their deaths. They decide that, however tragic their deaths were, it led them to the only place they'd want to be: together
Crystal and Niko lay the boys to rest side by side, under the same headstone

Despite having more teammates, Neil still regularly plays full games bc he knows he can and likes to. Wymack let's him bc it's one of the only sure-fire ways to get that boy worn out enough to chill. His stamina is out of this world by the time he goes pro and his team doesn't know how to handle him bc pros have way bigger teams and there's no way a rookie is going to get that much play time (not to mention, you just don't do full games that's ridiculous)
But like
What are they supposed to DO with him
He runs circles around them at practice despite being there long before and after official times. He's been caught multiple times by himself late at night. And when he's not on the court, he's on the bench running his mouth.
His coach reaches out to the coach of another team, one he thinks might be able to give some advice. But Kevin's coach just says "oh god i was going to call and ask YOU wtf to do he's going to decimate my team"
They conference in a third coach who is not much help bc the only thing David Wymack says after laughing himself breathless is "good fucking luck" and he hangs up

in every other life- s.r.
a/n: my soul is in this mf fic. there's a lil sexual tension lol! this is a behemoth of pining. so much fucking pining. this guy needs you like air wtf!! ALSO the poem is from a book, the lover's dictionary by david levithan. summary: the love of spencer's life is also his best friend, and she goes on a few dates. he does not handle it well, internally. ft. metaphysics by our dear genius boy. wc: 3.3k (holy shit)
Tumblr media
While he recognizes that no direct injustice has actually been done to him, he canā€™t help but feel that itā€™s so unfair.Ā 
Because Spencer had never actually wanted much of anyone, actually. He was too much of a child through his entire education, and heā€™d found anyone that heā€™d even consider had almost instantly had dismissed him. Heā€™d grown used to a life where companionship wasnā€™t a desire that crossed his mind.Ā 
But he wanted her.Ā 
His lovely friend, his coworker, who was the kind of lovely that it feels unfair youā€™d ever have to take your eyes off of. Sheā€™s the best person heā€™s ever met, the sort of wonderful you read about but never convince yourself youā€™ll ever see. He knows the shape of her, has her form memorized from watching, waiting for her to step into the office every day. Ā 
It was only a matter of time until he wasnā€™t the only one with his eye on her.Ā 
Sheā€™s actually absurdly easy to want. Thereā€™s nights where they watch something, often what he picked, Doctor Who or some other science fiction which would be great if he could focus on anything but her. Her warm disposition ruminating his too-small apartment with a kind of light that follows his every movement. Heā€™d adore her even if she wasnā€™t, but itā€™s impossible to ignore how beautiful she is- the kind of pretty that you hardly expect to see in real life.Ā 
ā€œHey you,ā€ her so-sweet voice is what breaks him out of his daydreaming, and he looks up at her lovely face smiling down at him. Fondness seeps through her tone, and itā€™s everything he can do not to preen that her first thought at seeing him is one of pleasure.Ā 
ā€œHey back,ā€ he says, greeting her with a warm grin of his own. ā€œHow was your weekend?ā€
Itā€™s a calculated question.Ā 
She had canceled their weekly movie night. Heā€™d tried not to look too disappointed, like the idea of her next to him on his couch, of her nimble fingers raking through his unkempt hair while something nice, but far less wonderful than his company played in the background wasnā€™t all that was keeping him going. These days, and he knows itā€™s likely delusion, that she sometimes seems to gaze back at him with a similar sort of desperation, hooded eyes and tenderness.Ā 
Itā€™s a liminal space, those nights. How can people be two things at once? You cannot be both in love and not. In the low-light of his place, under his blanket- itā€™s like Schrodingerā€™s experiment. She canā€™t love him like a friend and more at the same time- it resists the laws of physics. She is his best friend, a fact he knows as sure as gravity and the elements, and believing anymore than that- itā€™s asserting an impossibility.Ā 
When theyā€™re alone together, though. It seems like the impossible exists.Ā 
But sheā€™d canceled it, something she hadnā€™t done for the months theyā€™d been engaging in their little tradition. So there had to be a reason. She sits next to him, her desk next to his.Ā 
She looks a little disheveled, only in an adorable way- but a little like sheā€™s been busy, like her flow is disrupted.
ā€œIt was good! I finally went out with that guy Penelopeā€™s been begging me to let her set me up with.ā€
Itā€™s all that he can do not to freeze up.Ā 
Penelope has been trying to get her to go out with her friend Ben, which Spencer thinks is a stupid name, by the way, and secretly heā€™d been so, so pleased when she had brushed off the invite. Itā€™s a dangerous thing, hope. He tries not to have too much of it, tries to savor the thought of her, of more for moments of particular vulnerability. Itā€™s treacherous, to want her the way he does. He knows he canā€™t let himself feel it all the way.Ā 
And logistically- romance is not a reason for a valid reason for him to be panicking the way he is, but all he can think about is the physics. Two opposite things cannot be true at the same time.Ā 
ā€œYou know, studies suggest that even now, the majority of couples are meeting in person or through friends over any other medium.ā€Ā 
It hurts to say. Sheā€™s part of a couple, one half a whole that he doesnā€™t complete.Ā 
ā€œSeriously? Iā€™d have thought itā€™d changed by now. I guess itā€™s safer to date someone you know.ā€
Sheā€™d date someone she knew? Is that what she prefers?Ā 
ā€œHow did it go?ā€ He hears Emily ask, and this conversation is already the bane of his existence.
ā€œGuys, it really wasnā€™t a big deal! We got dinner, it was just a little thing.ā€
Spencer isnā€™t experienced in dating, but he does know that dinner is a serious date. Coffee is a smaller thing, but dinner-
Dinner means she got pretty for him. Probably picked out a dress for the evening, spent time on a carefully manicured look. Spent hours of her precious, rare, time on him.Ā 
Itā€™s not fair how much he fucking hates this guy.Ā 
ā€œDinner is not nothing!ā€ Penelope squeals, and he would love to share in her excitement, except it kind of feels like a piece of his heart is being shredded.Ā 
ā€œDinner means coming up to my place, have coffee, oh look who doesnā€™t have her hair done-ā€œ
Please kill me, he thinks. Please.Ā 
ā€œOh, that definitely did not happen.ā€
Thank god.Ā 
Except he canā€™t miss her flush, how her expression shifts- and he has the sickening feeling heā€™d be hearing that guyā€™s name again.Ā 
When they all settle around the table, her doe eyes focused on gruesome images that were the exact antithesis of her spirit, he couldnā€™t help but feel that even if it hurt, there was finality.Ā 
The cat was out of the box. Two things cannot be true at once, and so only one is- she does not love him, at least not the way he does.Ā 
Tumblr media
Ben, is not in fact, going away.Ā 
If he had more willpower or self-preservation, Spencer would keep his distance from her, but the truth of it is that as much as he wants to be the person she turns to, her smile is most of why he can stand his job anymore.Ā 
Itā€™s a Tuesday, and everyone is grumbling about being pulled in early in the morning, but heā€™s just happy to have a reason to leave the house.
ā€œSpence!ā€ He hears her excited voice carry, the pretty sound picking his ears up at once. ā€œI got you coffee. Itā€™s hazelnut, and itā€™s like, 90% sugar. Youā€™re gonna love it.ā€
She beams at him, and he takes it in his hands. Their hands brush, and he tries so hard not to notice how soft her hands are. Her name is on the cup, and an unconsenting fantasy of her name meaning that heā€™s hers creeps into his mind before he can bat it away. Ā 
But her cup says Ben.Ā 
ā€œThanks,ā€ he says her name, tries to sound measured and friendly. ā€œCoffee date?ā€
She preens, and god, if this guy doesnā€™t get how lucky he is it might be thing thing that actually sends him over the edge after all these years.
ā€œJust a quick thing, we were just in the same place and he bought me a coffee, Iā€™d already gotten yours.ā€
If thereā€™s two roles he can fill and he doesnā€™t get to pick, if heā€™s stuck with friends, heā€™s gonna be great at it, and heā€™s gonna be grateful. Because knowing her is a grace in itself, the kind of thing you should could yourself so lucky to have.Ā 
ā€œHe sounds like a great guy,ā€ he hears himself say, ā€œIā€™m glad youā€™re doing this.ā€
Itā€™s the right thing to say. Heā€™s sure of it. The thing heā€™s not sure of is why the smile she offers him doesnā€™t reach her eyes.Ā 
Tumblr media
The next time he notices the cracks in their relationship, itā€™s when theyā€™re out. Sheā€™d suggested this bookstore-cafe kind of thing, and heā€™d jumped at the thought, all of his favorite things in one afternoon. Heā€™d felt foolish spending so much time picking out his outfit out, wearing the blazer sheā€™d once complimented-heā€™d actually stuttered so hard in thanks that Morgan laughed for a full minute when she left the room- but she always looked beautiful, and he knows he sometimes pales in comparison.Ā 
ā€œOh, I love this one!ā€ She thumbs over the spine of a thin book of poetry. Sheā€™s wearing a forest green sweater that hugs her frame, and a bracelet hangs on her delicate wrist. He loves looking at her, though he tries to conceal it. His goal of being a supportive friend includes trying not to make it that known how gone for her he is.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t read too much poetry,ā€ he admits, ā€œBut Iā€™m sure you have excellent taste.ā€Ā 
Her keen eyes skim through the pages intently, clearly seeking out a specific passage before stopping, gaze alight with recognition.Ā 
Her tone is molasses-sweet when she begins reading, and his heart skips a beat.
ā€œWhen I say be my lover,ā€ her voice hitches, reverent of the quote and he is reverent of her, ā€œ I donā€™t mean ā€˜letā€™s have an affair. I donā€™t mean Sleep with me. I donā€™t mean Be my secret. I want us to go back to that root. I want you to be the one who loves me. I want to be the one who loves you.ā€
It feels impossible to look away from her, doe eyes practically sparkling in the low light of the shop, and there it is. His heartā€™s in his throat. Of all the things you could have told Spencer heā€™d experience, hearing her lovely voice wrap around the words be my lover in hushed tone, in sacred sweetness, would never ever be one heā€™d guess.Ā 
Heā€™s not sure how he feels about the multiverse theory, but right now, he can feel all the versions of himself pressing right up against him. Can see into lives he doesnā€™t get to live, lifetimes where his love isnā€™t a buried, worn-out tattered thing to keep his ever-frigid chest warm. Versions of himself that in this very moment can smile back at her, warm and open and kind, and kiss her perfect smile.Ā 
Because he would be her lover. He would come home to her, spend the rest of his life building a home that she could fitĀ  into. Itā€™d be easy, actually. Sheā€™s easy to imagine- nights of laughing in a shared kitchen, evenings where her company is a fine wine, sipped at leisure with the comfort of knowing itā€™s never going to slip from your grasp.Ā 
ā€œI like that,ā€ he says, voice too vulnerable for his own good, eyes unable to tear from the eye contact. ā€œI really like that.ā€Ā 
In the root of it, he already is her lover. He is the one who loves her. Sheā€™s just not his.Ā 
Tumblr media
It comes to a head on a Friday. Itā€™s a few weeks from he book shop, and the air feels heavier between them now. The last handful of Fridays heā€™s sat with the ghost of what used to be their plans, empty time lingering where in itsā€™ place used to be her company.Ā 
He doesnā€™t know if sheā€™s been with Ben. He tries not to think about it.Ā 
The sound of her voice lingers in his mind, sweet and bitter in his mind like old lemon candy, the kind his mother would save for special occasions. Heā€™d spend any amount of money he had to hear her lovely voice say those words to him out of the context of a poem.Ā 
At work, they seem almost normal. Like one of them wasnā€™t desperately in love with the other; like a genius and his lovely, incredibly empathetic, kind best friend. In the field, their actions flow together seamlessly. She is always the first to listen and to understand (and god, isnā€™t it intoxicating to have someone meet you in understanding) and there is nothing to suspect is off.
But thereā€™s still a cloud lingering. The poem- the soft melody of her voice curling around the words, the request of it all, the way she had sounded so wanting- and then, thereā€™s Ben.Ā 
She doesnā€™t mention Ben to him, of course, but Penelope does. Penelope, all bows and bright colors and cheeriness keeps bringing the absolute worst news to Spencer with a smile on her face.Ā 
Heā€™s taking her out for drinks! Oh, heā€™s reading her favorite book, do you know what it is?
This anger isnā€™t an emotion that heā€™s familiar with. A roar of possessiveness, the bite of it not tempered at all by rationality. Has he touched her?
It seems almost a tradition at this point when she shakes him out of his jealous storm of thought.
ā€œSpence?ā€ she muses, ā€œYou alright?ā€ Theyā€™re alone at his desk, everyone having fled for their own evening and weekend plans. This was one of the Fridays that she had agreed to spend with him, and he wonders if heā€™ll be able to handle the scent of her shampoo so close after such a lapse of the sensation. Will all of his judgement go where he canā€™t follow?
ā€œYeah,ā€ he says, tucking his papers into his bag, ā€œIā€™m excited for tonight.ā€
His place is actually a short walk from the office. Heā€™d been embarrassed to show her the place at first. Itā€™s all function over fashion, and a bit cramped, but sheā€™d looked at as though it was made of something more, something good. She didnā€™t even tease him. It had actually been her idea, to start these movie nights.Ā 
Ironic, really.Ā 
The walk was pleasant, the weather a little frigid but still nice, and she looks beautiful under the setting sun. Itā€™s incredible to him, how her lashes catch the light and make her irises look like polished stained glass. His favorite color. Through the looking glass of another life, he sees a version of himself that gathers her up in his arms. In this daydream, she grants him one of her smiles that seems to carry itsā€™ own light, and leans into his body like itā€™s the only thing that keeps her steady. Itā€™s so clear. On the other side of the veil, he kisses her reddening nose, and keeps her warm himself.Ā 
In the here and now, Her coat is long, and hangs low by her ankles. Itā€™s an elegant thing, like the woman who wears it, and Spencer would be grateful for a lifetime of just looking.They stop in front of his door, some invisible force stopping him from entering.Ā 
She sheds the coat inside his home. It smells like the candle she got him for his birthday, a reminder of her grace. Heā€™s saved a bottle of wine for them, a sweet thing for the sweetest thing heā€™s known.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ she speaks the warmth of the beverage on her tongue, and it should feel abrupt but it doesnā€™t.
ā€œWhat for?ā€ He canā€™t imagine what she would have to apologize for.Ā 
ā€œI know things have beenā€¦off between us,ā€ she says carefully, considering the phrasing of each word. He watches her with a reverence, his hazel eye brimming with affection with nowhere to go. ā€œYouā€™ve been so great through it.ā€
Her legs are thrown across his own, and sheā€™s dangerously close to sitting in his lap, but not exactly. Heā€™s missed having her this close, the last time sheā€™d been in his orbit was before sheā€™d had reason to be gone. She smells floral. He fights With limited filtering through his already treacherous mind he thinks, He canā€™t take this from me. I still get her like this.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m not entirely sure what it is.ā€Ā 
She slowly shuts her eyes, go for a moment to somewhere he canā€™t follow. Her cheeks are rosy from the cold.Ā 
ā€œThis whole Ben thing.ā€
ā€œOh.ā€
Logically, it always had to come back to this. Someone else had the good fortune to know her like this, to be the person she reads poetry to in deep meaning to.Ā 
Heā€™s been stealing moments from someone whoā€™s not his to take them from.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t even know how I wanted you to react.ā€ she murmurs, staring at the rim of her glass.Ā 
ā€œI just want you to be happyā€ His voice is something low, grit in the sound of it. His hand rests on her thigh. Thereā€™s warmth blanketing the room and he wants to kiss her. He wants to kiss her all the time.Ā 
She laughs, but itā€™s not her normal laugh. Itā€™s tinny and a little bitter. He pushes his luck, and reaches out to brush the side of her face, moving the hair but still holding her face. Her breath smells like strawberry wine and temptation.Ā 
It feels different tonight. Low light and tension that could be sliced with wire. Every part of her is in reach, and something in the air makes all of this talk of relativity, of physics, moot.Ā 
Like maybe heā€™s not in the only world they donā€™t end up together.Ā 
Her face is warm and soft under his touch and he loves the sight of her. Heā€™s never touched her like this. Every point of contact feels electric, addicting.Ā 
ā€œWhat is it? The Ben thing?ā€ He doesnā€™t know what heā€™s expecting to hear. What he wants, is for her to tell him that it doesnā€™t matter anymore, that she picks him-
ā€œI only went out with him the once.ā€
ā€œWhat?ā€
ā€œI told Penelope I was still going because it made her happy and she said I couldnā€™t keep going to your apartment and reading you poetry and call that romance.ā€
Romance?Ā 
Wasnā€™t it romance, though?Ā 
Her eyes widen in something akin to horror.Ā 
ā€œShit, Spence- Iā€™m sorry, that is so fucked of me to say-ā€œ
ā€œYou,ā€ he tries to say calmly, ā€œarenā€™t going out with Ben.ā€
She blinks.Ā 
ā€œNo?ā€
He has spent so much time living in other lives, existing in the minds of versions of himself he wasnā€™t lucky enough to be. Drinking coffee imagine a life colored in her presence, falling asleep yearning for the presence of something lighter than what he has to carry.Ā 
He canā€™t exist in two places. That was the entire basis of the experiment.Ā 
He moves his other hand to hold hers, and somehow sheā€™s shifted to being on top of him, and he looks up at her with unwavering desire.Ā 
Spencer isnā€™t good at wanting people, but it comes naturally with her. Less of an action and more an urge, a course of motion to which he is at the mercy of. This is what leads him to close the gap between them, and kiss her. Itā€™sĀ 
Her delicate fingers run through his hair, and she canā€™t be close enough, please, and he could spend the rest of his life kissing her, actually. He probably will spend the rest of his life thinking about the soft sigh he pulls out of her.Ā 
ā€œI want it to be me,ā€ he manages to say through shallow breath, still so close that his lips brush hers every other word, ā€œI want to be the one you pick. I want it to be me.ā€ His hazel eyes seem to shift in the moment, swirling with emotion.Ā 
She brushes a lock of his overgrown hair out of his face. He normally shaves when he sees her, but heā€™d been so busy that heā€™d forgotten, and felt embarrassed of it now. That is, until she runs her index finger along the edge of his jawline.
Itā€™s then she leans down and kisses him again, pliant and good, his hands around her waist. He breathes a prayer into her mouth, one that hopes that she never ever comes to her senses about him.Ā 
ā€œSpence,ā€ she says, her voice golden silk, a kindness.Ā  ā€œThere was never anyone else to pick.ā€Ā

Can I take a moment to rant on the beautiful psychology of the characters in this novel? At least these first chapters.
Sorry OP but I need to rant on this aspect that I adore about this book.
From the collective crowds to the individual people, especially the protagonist.
It's surprising how, excuse the redundance, not surprised I am that the crowds were so chill in a collective view, as the common people didn't have the astronomical knowledge to understand how Big of an event the cylinder was, they just saw "monke see new thing, monke touch new thing". Only the astronomers and scientists in the place found it a big deal because they understood, which makes sense why they and police attempted communication with the martians later on with the white flag and attempted to even protect them.
Yes, this is a big event, whether people were aware or not, but it wasn't going to stop time. The cylinder fell on a park, on a little corner, and the rest of the world moved on because of course they would. People had jobs and things to do, they weren't going to stop because miles away some weird metal fell into the sand pits. And to those who witnessed the object it was similar, plus, it took hours for anything new and noteworthy to happen so of course, once bored, the protagonist would just go home to drink his tea and attempt to continue on his papers, of course the children would fool around after the novelty turned dull and the little merchants kept on selling their apples and beers, they weren't going to stop their day for this slow hunk.
And can we take a moment to appreciate the great level of detail in which the behaviours of the people were described? Yes, every person there shared the shock, disgusto and fear upon seeing he martians for the first time, all who could running away and hiding behind the closest vegetation. But once things calmed down - the ways in which the crowds would divide and ondulate differently at getting closer to the crater once more, behaving like animals driven by their mix of fear and curiosity, is wonderfully real, tense and painstakingly slow.
And my favorite part, the reaction of the protagonist to the tragedy of the heat ray.
I love this character because he isn't like a common apocalypse story protagonist - that is heroic and down to act in extreme situations - but he acted like many common men facing the impossible.
He froze.
He saw death and destruction unravel around him in a way he had never witnessed or imagined and he froze in the panic and overload that his mind just couldn't process, he didn't go to sacrifice himself to save people, he didn't scream to anyone or took a leap to do anything, he was barely able to process what the hell was going on, of course he wouldn't have the time to be the selfless heroe. And it was after all was done that his brain managed to finally catch up that the fear and the understanding of danger truly settled in. That is one of the most realistic reactions to the extreme I have personally seen, in the moment of the event, one can tend to loose themselves and dive completely into Fight, flight or fawn, and it is when it's all over that one finally comes back to their senses and can feel again and understand what just happened.
Not to mention the beautiful description of the man entering a state of numbness and shock after escaping. It all drained his energy to even think, and so he'd go on autopilot to his safe place, Home.
Anothwe beautiful thing during the protagonist's slow walk back, after the reader has witnessed hell, the book bothers to mention the jarring contrast of the previous terror and chaos compared to the rest of the towns, simply moving on like nothing happened, so the reader can be overwhelmed and confused and shock alongside the protagonist.
I'm not sure about the distances between the sand pits and the towns, but let's remember that, first- It seems to be far enough- and second- these people didn't have the same level of connectivity and fast, local comunication networks that we tend to enjoy today, so of course it would take a while for the totality of the news to reach the common people around the place of the incident.
And like I said before, this horrid event of death was miles away from these people, so until folks had the fear of it getting to them settle in, of course (sorry for repeating it sm pff) they would still try to go on with their normal lives, Even with the danger in the background. That's what people do. And that is one of the reasons I've ADORED the novel ever since I first laid eyes on it.
Btw this is no scolding of OP or anything, I just needed to vomit words of love for this book and found this perfect post so yeah, OP, it is funny af, and it is beautiful.
finally reading the war of the worlds and itā€™s actually so funny to me how at the beginning everyone is pretty much totally chill with having an mysterious extraterrestrial cylinder just suddenly landing in a field, like they really just went ā€œhuh thatā€™s peculiarā€ and kept going on about their lives, even after the first group of people were killed anyone who wasnā€™t literally right there watching it happen didnā€™t seem too bothered and people in the next town over didnā€™t even seem to know about it
#the war of the worlds#I'm listening to the audiobook narrated by David Tennant and these initial chapters are among my favorites and the ones I remember the best#Man I adore the fawn and shock of the protagonist sm istg I kin it#And it's so cool how he survived that initial attack- not out of taking action- preventive or otherwise- or because he was fast or strong en#ough#He survived out of pure. dumb. LUCK#People more deserving of survival like the scientist didn't even have time to escape and this one guy- by DUMB LUCK- made it out#And again- I find that so beautiful#He isn't like a common modern apocalipse protagonist- at least in this point of the story -and I LOVE HIM for it#He's just a guy- NOTHING special about him#uuuurrrggghhhh I love this book- I need tl finish that audiobook#h.g. wells#the war of the worlds novel#OP you are very right tho- The people's reaction is so funny-#But I advocate that it's realistic#Not out of any evidence but because I say so/lh#Reminds me of local news- A couple of months ago- of the threat of a weird ass bomb planted in a mall a few short miles away from my city#We all heard about it and followed the news and- despite the fear of going to my local mall- We all just continued our normal lives#And soon enough we were all back at the mall like nothing happened#Idk if that and the situation of the book can be compared but idk#btw that bomb wasn't that dangerous and I think it didn't even detonate so all good#reblog#swearing in tags#Man I love psychology JSJS#Still - sorry OP that you were my outlet#Again- Not reprimanding anything or saying you are wrong or anything- really#mild swearing#OP if this bothers You I can edit it or delete it no problem#And sorry for my wtf grammar- I'm bad at writing long texts

clip one: ollie crosses the line, only seconds before max. The garage is screaming with excitement, and the camera pans to Aubrey and David, the girl clutching the older man's elbow as they are both sobbing with happy tears.
clip two: Ollie, soaked with champagne and sweat runs up to his dad and Aubrey. She lets him hug David first, the older man kissing his face and head, wrapping his arms around his son. Aubrey stands back, still silently crying and laughing. An engineer rubs her back and she laughs. Ollie turns to her, running the small distance and pulling her off her feet into a hug. She's got her arms around his neck, and he's holding her up by her waist. She whispers something in his ear, and he presses his face into her neck. He sets her down, although he keeps her in his embrace. He has to bend a little to keep their position, and she peppers the side of his face with kisses. Someone hands him his water, and she has to push him gently off so he can hydrate. He keeps a finger tucked in the loop of her miniskirt as he thanks the person.

Aubrey shifted, shimmying the bottom of her dress down a little. They were out celebrating his win, and she was taking a breather from all the dancing Alexandra was making her do. Ollie was a little ways off with Lewis and Charles, in a heated discussion about presumably the race. She smiled as she watched him, all pale skin and flushed cheeks. His win, his maiden win, and she was here to witness it. Even if she wasn't in love with him, it was undeniable; Ollie Bearman, the dazzling starlet was the future of the industry.
"Hey, you look lonely." A blonde man joined her where she stood by the bar.
"Oh, I'm okay. Just taking a second." she smiled politely.
"You're an actress, right? I'm Logan. I drive for Williams?" he smiled, and if she wasn't completely taken by Ollie, she would've melted. He looked a bit like her ex, all sandy blonde and muscular and american.
"Yeah. I'm Aubrey." she shook his extended hand, trying to extract it, but he held on.
"I love your work," he grinned, and she weakly backed away.
"Look, you seem really sweet, Logan, but I-"
"Aubrey." A warm, familiar hand landed on her waist, a tether back to reality.
"Hey, winner." she murmured softly at his clenched jaw and dark eyes.
Ollie never got like this, not with her ex, not with the men who catcalled her in the streets. But it was...
Okay, fine, it was kinda hot. Extremely.
Logan's puppy dog eyes widened a fraction with realization.
"Oh. Oh. Oh!" he backed off, patting Ollie's arm, "Sorry, mate."
He departed quickly, and the grimace on Ollie's face stayed.
"Why the long face?" she hummed, stroking his cheek. He held her hand to his face, the moment intimate amidst the bustle of the bar.
"Barely got to see you all night," he drew her closer, "and you look so beautiful."
"That's okay, babe. Enjoy tonight. You have all the time in the world to tell me how pretty I look."
He had an odd look on his face; it was one she wasn't sure how to read.
"Let's go back to hotel." he whispered in her ear.
"What?" she asked, "It's barely midnight!"
"I don't want to be anywhere but with you. And right now, I think we need some privacy."
He led her through the crowd, and smiled politely when people aww'd at the fact he was leaving. Alex kissed her cheek with a knowing look, and Aubrey accepted a quick hug from Charles and Max.
The car ride over in the back of the taxi was silent, tension brewing between them. She was sober enough to stay quiet, but tipsy enough to slide her hand in his larger one.
She felt relieved when his calloused fingers curled around hers.
He led her into the elevator, a heavy, thinking look on his handsome face.
"I wasn't...I didn't want him to flirt with me, y'know." she told him, avoiding eye contact. It was funny, since their hands were still intertwined.
One second she was lifting her head to look at him, the next Ollie had her pinned against the elevator wall.
His nose bumped against hers as he inhaled, and exhaled into her mouth. She didn't know if she was dizzy from the rising height of the elevator or simply him.
He pressed his lips to hers, and she gasped in surprise.
His mouth was warm and smooth, his tongue asking for entrance at the seam of her lips.
He licked into her mouth, and she let out a whine, fingers grasping desperately at his arms.
He pulled back, groaning.
"I'm sorry, we should talk. But you just looked..." he trailed off, swollen lips mouthing at the sensitive skin of her neck, nipping and sucking a little track on her skin.
"Oh-" she started, hands dragging to his chest. She knew she sounded desperate.
"I love you." He blurted out, "I had a stupid crush on you when I was like 14, and I met you and you're the most wonderful person I know. You're so kind, and you make me feel like a person, not just a famous driver. I know that you might not feel the same way I do, but I can treat you right. I promise, I will never hurt you, or let anyone."
His eyes, brown and earnest and oh so familiar made her heart ache. How could he think that she didn't love him just as much, or even more?
"One chance, please. I can make you happy, love. Just let me try." he nearly begged, hands winding around her waist.
"I love you." she murmured back, "I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it. I want to be with you forever, and I know I'm coming off way too strong-"
He cut her off with a watery laugh.
"But you've shown me what love is supposed to be. In its true form, not some half-hearted warped example. And all I can hope is that I can return that love for you. Because I really do. I don't think I've ever loved anyone like you, Ollie. You're it."
He smiled, a real, genuine smile for the first time in the past hour. Seeing him all crinkly-eyed and happy made something burst low and hot in her stomach.
She reached up and dragged him by his collar so she could taste him again, all because now she could.
When she pulled back for air, and he chased her lips.Ā 
She giggled, and he rolled his eyes, nipping at her earlobe.
She pressed herself against him again, threading her fingers through his hair and pulling them together once more. She kissed him, this time slow and soft but both of their smiles were so big that it was more like pressing their teeth together.
"I think we missed our floor."
"That's what you're focused on right now?"

I'm watching the Doom Patrol episode for the first time ever and LOSING MY MIND, why didn't anyone tell me this is GOOD??? It's written by Steve Yockey and it SHOWS because the dialogue is absolutely the same as in the netflix series
Crystal is so catty and Edwin is fed up with people while Charles mediates, they're the same characters just played by different people?? I'm gonna add some shitty screensnaps here to yell about it
Obviously spoilers if you care about that;
Tumblr media
Crystal <3 She looks closer to her comicbook self but has the same amount of sass as her netflix self
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I swear I'm so normal about this bit of dialogue. Crystal telling Edwin Charles will protect him (with a baseball bat, mind you, they're in the States!) and their responses, I wish I could see Jayden and George act this part.
(I can hear "I'd do it anyway, won't I?" in Jayden's voice... weeps)
Tumblr media
Edwin sassing out little girls again??? I lost it with the pose and voice
Tumblr media
WEAK FOR THOSE BIG BROWN EYES
Tumblr media
(Jayden's voice again. I know you hear it)
He should've been allowed to drape himself over Edwin like this too. Why would Netflix do this to me
"Love this." EDWIN??? He's way too happy that they're gonna smack their client with a shovel.
And CHARLES (pulls it out without anyone asking, he knows what's going to happen next) HANDS IT TO CRYSTAL so she can be the one doing the smacking???
And she's way too eager as well. What is happening here. Though I love how seamlessly they work as a trio now. Even if it's for the purpose of knocking out their unsuspecting client
"The price to open the door to afterlife is pain, and I'm the only one who can do it."
With the door handle being a BABYDOLL HEAD. With HELL FLAHBACKS. What the actual fuck?
I thought the doll spider was netflix original character??
And Charles immediately being "you don't have to do it, we can find another way in" I might be crying
Tumblr media
Charles is afraid of water??? That's CANON?? It has to be, nothing has been changed about the characters so far!
Charles (with red-rimmed eyes): "I'm not scared! Just so you know."
Edwin (lying to make Charles feel better): "We know."
They're so in love. But what do you mean with "I'll make sure he's fine"? What are you gonna do, Edwin? Hold his hand on the boat ride? (They didn't show that part, so that's probably what happened.)
Tumblr media
They had ONE episode and they still had to make sure that we know Edwin's gay.
I'm OBSESSED with this line and this repressed version of Edwin, I don't have the words right now but I read someone's brilliant analysis about it. (Pls link if you find it)
"I used to think that, too. But it's not 1916 anymore, you know?"
"Well, I'm not like you. But thanks for the concern."
Edwin, oh my god that is so sad. What makes you think you don't deserve happiness? I need to study him under a microscope
...Then STRAIGHT INTO death flashbacks??? They didn't leave anything out, watching this one episode spoils 7 out of 8 episodes of the netflix series?!
"She's good." Edwin appreciates Crystal! I love that they genuinely are a trio here and the boys know about her quirks like they know each other
Also David lore is unchanged too and Crystal bonding with Dorothy was so sweet
...THE NIGHT NURSE IS HERE TOO?? I thought she was a netflix original character too (Cat King, Tragic Mick and Jenny are, at least?)
AND SHE'S RUTH CONNEL??? ALSO WTF JUST HAPPENED
Her character is pretty different alright, and played very differently by the same actress??? And Charles just WENT FOR IT unprovoked?! Do they know about her in this universe, is she like a monster that's actively hunting them down and can be alerted by killing(?) I literally don't know anymore this is crazy
(Edwin was so cute jumping up and cheering lol. A bit jarring how much more he curses here though)
This is actually an insane episode, the trio with their huge amount of lore just drop in in the middle of already established group of characters and their lore and then, they're never seen again after this??
And they had flashbacks to both of their deaths without explaining ANYTHING about what the hell was that. Just five seconds of "being chased and covered in blood", teasing something about their relationship, Crystal dropping her goal of beating her missing memories out of a demon, no conclusion of wtf was "spider-face lady" aka the Night Nurse, etc etc. They needed their own show really badly huh
So netflix hurry up and give us a second season! After seeing this I'm blown away by the execution of Dead Boy Detectives and how Jayden and George really brought the characters to life. I'm so thankful we have that. Their chemistry really is what makes the show.

Im one of the people who always felt that izuku will lose ofa in the very end. I understand why people are upset about it because izuku fought so hard to "earn" ofa and to make it HIS quirk and had such a shitty life. He deserved it. The problem I have with izuku losing ofa is not really that he lost it (because I was pretty sure that would happen) but that horikoshi put so much hints about izuku gaining the AFO quirk instead in the final arc that its not even funny! I was convinced izuku will lose ofa and instead afo will waken up in him, because thats what the manga was SHOWING us! I mean FOR WHAT did horikoshi show us the glowing afo holes in izukus hands or that izuku can transfer quirks the same way afo does and in the end doesnt do anything with that??? What was that for??? Can you imagine what a powerful message it could have been if izuku would gain the same quirk as the main villain but uses it to do good?! To show how the term "villain quirk" is bullshit?!
But instead we got a quirkless izuku again who is pretty much forgotten by the world after he just saved all of their asses while hero society barely has changed for the better (WHY IS THERE STILL A HERO RANKING?!?!?! WTF HORIKOSHI?!?!?!) and izukus "friends" let him suffer for 8 years because they want to "surprise" him with a hero suit??? No one can tell me that it needed 8 damn years to create that stupid suit when all mights suit already exists and is literally a fucking CAR and he is friends and in contact with david and melissa who were saved by izuku in the movie and they wouldnt give him a suit for free as a thank you?!?!?!
This final arc was a total trainweck and such a waste of time! And the worst is that horikoshi really tried to make this ending look like it was a good thing!

les mis us tour on november 21, 2024 !!
javert (nick rehberger) said ā€œno šŸ˜’ā€ so snootily
the valjean (nick cartell) was INCREDIBLE. his ā€œFLIIIGHTā€ note in the prologue was an inSANE high belt. and he did it while twirling around?? like WOAH.
the bishop (randy jeter) said ā€œmy friend :) you left so earlyā€ so gently
the factory girl who fought fantine was genuinely great??? like when she said ā€œsleeping aroundā€ she made a little gesture and got all up in her face about it
before fantine died, valjean and her hugged šŸ„ŗ
the thernadiers were GREAT. we had a panel with the actor of marius (jake david smith) and thernadier (matt crowle) and thernadier said he had a newer take on the character that he described as more of a jester, and you could tell! he really leaned into the physicality. i liked it
when madame did the sign of the cross thernadier just like. flopped his hands vaguely around
stars was fucking incredible. like WHAT. such a stoic javertā€¦and a RICH voice. absolutely gorgeous rendition
javert and gavroche had this little moment after javert cleared everyone away where they just looked at each other like ā€œokā€¦ā€¦..respect.ā€
KYLE ADAMS GRANTAIRE IS BETTER THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE
during red&black grantaire kissed combeferre on the head and later sat on his lap. he was also just SO CUNTYY. he crossed his legs in the most CUNTY way and just traipsed around and messed around with people and SERVED
when grantaire said ā€œletā€™s give them a a screwing theyā€™ll never forgetā€ he empasized screwing like ā€œletā€™s give them a screwing šŸ˜šŸ’… theyā€™ll never forgetā€
ALSO!!!!! his and gavrocheā€™s friendship was amazing !!!! like they would hug all the time šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ they had so many little moments. after grantaireā€™s verse in drink with me gavroche came over and hugged him on the legss!!! šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ˜«šŸ˜« and when gavroche died (holy shit) grantaire ran over and hugged him and tried to wake him like WTFFF šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ’”
OKAYYY OH MY GOSH eponine (mya rena hunter) was amazing!!!!!!!! her on my own gave me CHILLS WOAHAHAH SHE WAS INCREDIBLE!!
AND MARIUS AND COSETTE WERE SO SWEET <3333 THEYRE DYNAMIC WAS EVERYTHING. like the cosette (delaney guyer) was SO short it was adorable. also her voice was naturally high and i really enjoyed it
marius was great. when he said ā€œmarius pontmercyā€ in heart full of love he bowed to cosette so goofily šŸ˜‚
ALSO A LITTLE FALL OF RAIN!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!! It was done so intimatelyā€”marius and eponine were so close to each other in their own corner and the whole stage was dim except a spotlight on them, and they sang so softly to each other it was like you were leaning into this conversation between just the two of them it was šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ’”šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
also during that song at one point gavroche tried to come over but grantaire pulled him back
and bring him home holy shiT. he started so quiet and gentle, but then his voice just SOARED as he got into it. just WOAH.
also!! when valjean read mariusā€™ letter he stopped at the ā€œwellā€ when marius is writing about how cosette loves him as well. so like ā€œlove me asā€¦well šŸ¤Øā€ SOO funny. bc heā€™s always so *valjean* and serious yknow but that break was so good
JAVERTā€™S SOLILOQUY. HOLY SHIT. he did my FAV thing of screaming the first two lines which 10000/10šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„šŸ’„ and when he jumped, the set just like UNRAVELED around him (like how he himself was unraveling!!!) and he stayed suspended in midair while being moved back
at the end when valjean dies, he had the same candlesticks that the bishop gave him set up!!

DRDT episode 13 theory. So.
so i was meant to be making a general episode 13 analysis video. but um. i dont have the energy for that. so what am i gonna do instead? TALK ABOUT TERUKO try find out wtf david is doing in this scene
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SO. time to find out what possibly the FRUITIEST look ever from david means!!! disclaimer:
I suck at theories. And formatting. Yipee.
I'm painfully unfunny so excuse any dumbass jokes i make.
I'm going to find any and all excuses to rant abt teruko. be prepared...............
4. I may repeat myself a lot. Forgive me if it sounds really repetative... :( 5. Any points surrounded by - these things - are just things that are unlikely, but I think should still be adressed.
Tumblr media
So, the context of these images is Teruko revealing "her secret"; You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them.
Tumblr media
(pls excuse the shitty quality.) She has to be either lying or MAYBE unsure about her secret. Here's why: 1. She had a conversation with Whit (and technically charles, but he was just listening in) about her family. She reveals that she's never known her parents and grew up in an orphanage. She did grow up with her biological brother, but he was adopted by another family when Teruko was five, and she says she doesn't remember him much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. The wording of the secret is quite specific - You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. Like I've mentioned, she's never known her parents. Even if she *somehow* knew they were dead, why would she blame herself for it? I could see it maybe working in some way, but the next bit disproves it - SIBLINGS. Teruko has only mentioned having one sibling, and this wording is plural. This secret cannot be hers, she only has one brother. - To add on to this
2.5. Maybe one could argue that siblings and parents could be her friends/people she considered family in the orphanage she grew up in. However, the specific wording of parents and siblings, instead of just using the word "family", makes me think otherwise. - Okay, so let's dissect what this means. - I think if maybe she was unaware/TRULY thought that this was her secret, the only point that would support it is 2.5. Maybe she considered people she grew up with in the orphanage her "parents" or siblings", but its just not very likely. While I wouldn't be surprised if Teruko blew up an orphanage or something (/hj) , I think it's a stretch to say this secret is referring to that. - With that out the way, we come to one conclusion - Teruko is lying about secret. "Amari, we know that already, can we move on??????????" yeah yeah whatever i may have just wanted to rant about teruko. MOVING ON. So, what is Teruko's secret? It's pretty wildly agreed upon that Teruko's secret is the one regarding the killing game, which David recieved - "How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault."
Tumblr media
We think that this is Teruko's secret because: 1. She's the only one that fits it smh. /hj 2. The guy at the start of the prologue (who is probably xander but that is a WHOLE other theory you can find here ) mentions having to kill Teruko Tawaki (how DARE they) after talking about ending the killing game.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My interpretation of this is that Teruko is the reason the killing game is actually happening, though I doubt she's aware of this/the mastermind (or she could be, idk??). A really good theory that I feel explains what I mean by Teruko causing the KG but not being the mastermind is the time loop theory which is linked here. (accirax i love you for this theory /p) Obviously, this lines up with "The killing game is your fault." 3. David gives her THE LOOK right after she "admits" her secret, which sort of maybe kind of implies that he knows she's lying, which he does, since he has the secret. - As for the remaining secret: Xander's secret (which we assume min recieved) is the one Teruko claimed to have:
"You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them." Why do I think this? 1. In Xander's bonus video, it is VERY heavily implied that he has survivor's guilt as well as outright confirmed his family is dead. Go check it out for the full context.
Tumblr media
2. Xander's secret message on the DRDT tumblr is the definition of survivors guilt. Really self explanatory, huh?
Tumblr media
3. XANDER ACTUALLY HAS MORE THAN 1 FUCKING SIBLING. anyway. okay, this is getting a little confusing to remember, so here: Killing game: Teruko's secret, recieved by David. Survivor's guilt: Xander's secret, recieved by Min. (all remaining secrets remain the same.) MOTIVE
So, why would Teruko lie about her secret? I mean, shouldn't she just point it out? And why didn't David point it out? - 1. Teruko is aware that her secret is the killing game one and is lying because she's the mastermind or something. We see her thoughts, so I really doubt it. To further disprove this theory: Teruko has stated like 15 times (/ex) that she doesn't know which secret is hers, due to her having too many secrets. So, yeah, pretty unlikely she knows which secret's hers. Discard this theory. -
Tumblr media
2. a) Teruko doesn't know her secret, but knows it's probably bad, and therefore doesn't want to share it, so she lied. Pretty straightforward, really. Now, for the theory that I think is most likely: 3. Teruko doesn't know which secret is hers, but she knows neither of her secrets are the ones left unrevealed. She knows somebody is lying about a secret - but she's come to the conclusion that secrets are irrelevant to the trial and murder, so she's lying about her secret to avoid everyone getting off track once again.
Tumblr media
We know that's she's accidentally led the trial in the wrong direction twice now (motive secrets, time of murder) Also, this is the most in character.
As for David: A. David knows her secret, but keeps it hidden in order to cause distrust and just generally fuck Teruko over. He plans to reveal it either post trial or in a future daily life. B. David knows her secret, but earlier, he and Teruko made a pact to keep it hidden. However, since he's a little bitch boy (/j), he's going to reveal it anyway, either post trial or in a future daily life. - Just to add on to this point ^ - I know Teruko's protag and we see her thoughts and all, but Kaede happened, so I don't think this is out of the question. - I think the most likely combination is point 3. and point A. : Teruko's lying about her secret to avoid the trial heading off topic. David isn't calling her out because he wants to use it in the future to throw suspicion onto Teruko and cause havoc.
SO. Let's recap! Secrets: Teruko: "How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault." Received by David. Xander: "You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them." Received by Min. Rest remain the same as canon. Why can't Teruko's secret be about her family? 1. Teruko never knew her parents, and never mentions them being dead. 2. Teruko hasn't seen her brother since she was 5, and she never mentions him being dead, just adopted. 3. The wording of the secret refers to siblingS, which is plural. Teruko has only one sibling. 4. The secret fits Xander much better - His secret quote is the defintion of survivors guilt, and his bonus episode heavily implies he has survivors guilt, and it is confirmed his family died in the same bonus episode. Why is Teruko's secret about the killing game?
ā€¢ The guy at the start of the prologue mentions having to kill Teruko Tawaki after talking about ending the killing game. This implies Teruko is the cause of the killing game, whether on purpose or not. Motive for lying: Teruko doesn't know which secret is hers, but she knows neither of her secrets are the ones left unrevealed. She knows somebody is lying about a secret - but she's come to the conclusion that secrets are irrelevant to the trial and murder, so she's lying about her secret to avoid everyone getting off track once again. David knows her secret, but keeps it hidden in order to use it in the future to turn everyone against Teruko and just generally cause distrust in the group. He plans to reveal it either post trial or in a future daily life. **btw, just a fun afterthought - i think either whit or charles will eventually point out the conversation regarding teruko's unbringing and how it contradicts her secret - and david will use that opportunity to reveal teruko's secret. ANDDDD that's it! feel free to correct/add on any points you'd like. this took AGES but i had so much fun!!! i love you drdt. (ESPECIALLY TERUKO.)

Astro observation . . . TWO!!
Tumblr media
Whenever I see someone has a prominent Scorpio or Capricorn placement I always notice and see how sweet and overlay considerate they are. These people Iā€™ve noticed are very helpful and there for people, sometimes they donā€™t think about themselves that much and contain themselves too much. They also are like nonchalantly funny? Itā€™s not hard for them to make me laugh Iā€™ve noticed.
But yeah strong Capricorn and Scorpio placements remind me of the giving tree idkkk
Like also Capricornā€™s and Cancers be goofy as shit im crinešŸ˜­
WHEW. This is from my experience but when I have seen a fair amount of Virgo or Cancer influences in somebody chart THEY ALWAYS GET ON MY NERVES LIKE GIRL DON'T DO ME LEAVE ME ALONEšŸ˜­ I swear I have always had little moments with them- they can be quite annoying but guess what. I often spend so much time with them and we are right back on track maybe two seconds later itā€™s so funny. We switch up so much it funny. And this is funny because well I am a cancer myself and well there are more than three cancers in my family who I adore. You guys are really aggravating though.
Tumblr media
And like also Geminis freaky foreal like YALL LIKE BOOTY FOREALšŸ˜­
also its a double whammy if you have eros or venus in gemin lol. I have both šŸ˜ˆšŸ‘…
so come here . . . .
GIVE ME THAT BOOTYšŸ˜ˆ
lolšŸ˜­
AND YOOOO Like geminis and Leoā€™s can be so embarrassing at times? Theyā€™re very suspect to be very lollygagging individuals and I can say this because I have a Leo stellium. Sometimes I look back and be like girl no. It sad. ā˜¹ļø like girl you 36 how long you gon be doing thisšŸ˜•.
Tumblr media
They remind me of this liam dancing gif. Its not that they are embarrassing over big things- its just small stuff they can do and say which makes you go wtf???šŸ˜­ Sometimes i feel they try to impress you over small weird things that no one really gives a fuck about like okay right . . . right . . .
Leo, Cancer, Gemini, and Virgo can be really corny at times- it reminds of that gif of drake doing the dougie. They can be corny in a cute way thoughšŸ˜­but leos can get genuinely embarrassing as a mentioned beforehand
Also Geminis talk too much šŸ¦§.
They will run their mouth and run it- i have no problem with it though I like to talk a lot lol. They are ( of course!) good listeners too! I had a friend she was so chill- I could talk to her about anythingā€™s like- if i wanted to speak gibberish she would speak gibberish back to me. She was so random too. They are kind of silly whimsical beings at times I will not lie. Like it would not be wild to catch them froliciing in the fields randomly- its kind of expected of them in my own opinion. In my eyes they really be in their own world at times. šŸ’€
AYE.
And yo!? Tell me why Aries are so cute what the hell!?!?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
LIKE THEY ARE SO CUTE!!
CYUTSIE PATOOTSIES!!!! I imagine them trying to rob me at a gas station I own or something. Like I donā€™t know imagine them pointing a gun at you and trying to rob you LMFAO. I WILL BURST OUT LAUGHING. They might shoot you tho idkšŸ˜ž they really be standing on business and they intimidate me a lot once they start talking- and they could be totally be happy/polite while they are talking. Itā€™s just their aura feels forceful? Lively? Out there? I donā€™t know how to explain it but yeah. Also they are so sweet too!!! These people are cheerleaders- people say that Leoā€™s are cheerleaders but the biggest cheerleaders I see are more often Aries. My cousin is one and she is very VERY sweet. She listens to you deeply and she really pushes you. Sometimes itā€™s annoying at times cause like GIRL LEAVE ME ALONE I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT šŸ˜­ I love aries though šŸ’–šŸ˜­ You guys are so cute. AND WHY THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE CARTOON CHARACTERS šŸ˜­
LIKE WHY HE LOOK LIKE RODDYšŸ˜­

Cancer Mars are literally the Scarlet Witch idk dude. . . . like people can go completely BONKERS. These hoes kind of crazy. If you been wronging one for quite a while you better sleep with one eye open when you sleepingšŸ‘€

Like these people are kind of punksā˜¹ļø. They retreat often when something is wrong- too much actually. They really do not want to fight or have any problems foreal. They can be very indirect at times when bothered it can get annoying. But when enough is enough its overšŸ’€ its like one fart and your deadšŸ’€
Tumblr media
Like that Aries and Cancer energy is not mixing well and shit can get REAL unstable there like don't do them patna!!
Uhm i totally had a million more things to say and I really did not get to re-read this. So there may be many typos- and also im kind of lazy and wish i decorated this post better. But that's besides the point- I hope you liked this post or whatever!!! I was totally honestly rambing to myself, if you found these accurate to you then great!
Peace out!!!šŸ’–šŸ’—
