Trying to get more into old movies because of this blog (I only know about half of these people and feel like a poser) do you have good recommendations on where to start or is it just a situation where you watch stuff and find what you like as you go?

you are not a poser <3 i myself am just here for the hotties.

here is my quick and dirty list of fun films to start with if you're new to old movies. and of course if you like one of these, do try to find more stuff as you go! there's no bad way to try out old movies.

(this list is not official and is SUPER quick. i'm tagging for content warnings where I can, but if I forgot something let me know.)

"I want to watch something SILLY!"

The Court Jester (Danny Kaye, Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone)—everyone in this movie is hot. everyone is in fancy medieval dress, which makes them hotter. everyone here is very silly. You can stream this on Hoopla, last time i checked, so you might be able to stream it through your library!

Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang (Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Gert Frobe)—some people hate this movie and to them I say What Is Wrong With You. dick van dyke is a hot absent minded inventor who lives in a windmill with his two adorable children, his gorgeous sheepdog, and a grandfather who is categorically useless. it feels like the two films mary poppins (1964) and willy wonka (1971) had a baby and that baby was born on roller skates singing an old broadway showtune. this one has been showing up in some odd places lately—I think you can catch it on Tubi or Hoopla? It's definitely around.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Jane Powell, Julie Newmar, Howard Keel, Russ Tamblyn)—my problematic fave. everytime i watch this i change my mind whether it's a sexist pile of garbage or a feminist paean, and fellas, today we're on the feminist paean bandwagon!! jane powell's millie is truly the star of the movie, she is the hero she drives the plot the narrative is on her side, and besides all that there are seven very hot men dancing next to her and six beautiful ladies making me bisexual. (on Tubi last I checked.)

The Duke Is Tops (Lena Horne, Laurence Criner)—I get a huge kick out of watching Laurence Criner and Ralph Cooper swindle everybody while also trying to put on a show; there's just something silly and sincere here, plus you get a ~musical extravaganza~ at the end when all is right as rain again. Free on YouTube I think?

"I want to watch something DRAMATIC that may make me FEEL SOMETHING."

Witness for the Prosecution (Marlene Dietrich, Tyrone Power, Elsa Lanchester)—I love a campy twisty turny mystery, don't you? :) I'm not going to talk about this one much because it's better to go in blind, but if you like Agatha Christie stories you'll probably like this.

To Be Or Not To Be (Carole Lombard, Jack Benny)—always relevant, always makes me laugh, also makes me cry. this takes place in poland during wwii so big tw for nazi imagery and mentions. (don't worry. this movie fucking hates nazis.)

Seven Samurai (Toshiro Mifune)—this one is Great Cinema™™™™™™™™™™™ for a goddamned reason

"I want to watch some stuff with the scrungles in it!"

Mr. Washington Goes to Town (Mantan Moreland)—I've been checking out more of Mantan Moreland's stuff because every time I see him in something I think he's delightful, and I really enjoyed this silly-spooky comedy. Does this story have a brain cell? No. Are the special effects and goofy slapstick fun? Yes. This is a fun example of an all-Black cast in a film that was made for Black audiences, and is a striking counterpoint to the stereotypical representation Black actors were given in white-targeted films, showing the enormous amount of talent and artistry the racist studios missed out on by excluding these actors. This is not A Great Film™ but it's still A Fun Time,™ with a goofy Laurel and Hardy type vibe. (It's free on Youtube.)

The Red Shoes (Robert Helpmann, Leonide Massine, Marius Goring)—hey kid, you wanna watch something fucked up? This movie is so fucked up. It's about ballet, it's about art, it's about technicolor, it's about dance and toxic relationships and making theatre and nightmares and ambition and death. A lot of these recs tend on the silly side (because I tend on the silly side) but this one is actually Serious Film and will definitely help you chat up Martin Scorsese should you ever meet him. Big content warning if you can't handle dark themes right now—this movie's pretty dark, not in the gore way but in the Haunting Creepy Image way. (it's also free on Tubi and Kanopy most of the time.)

The Invisible Man (Claude Rains)—my favorite of the vintage horror flicks and a great introduction to Most Dunked On Hot Vintage Man of All Time, Claude Rains. (it helps that you barely ever see him!) Very very silly but the special effects are just plain fun. (I think this is on Internet Archive in full?)

"Can I just get more hot people please?"

Flower Drum Song (James Shigeta, Nancy Kwan, Miyoshi Umeki, Jack Soo)—there are so many unbelievably hot people in this movie which is somehow very good (thanks to its cast) and also incredibly, horrifically bad (thanks to its white team of writers, directors, and producers). on the one hand, it's a mostly Asian cast in a big budget, beautifully designed MGM style musical! there's dream sequences, lots of fun dancing, crooning Rogers & Hammerstein cabaret moments, and just charm galore. it is also freighted with so. many orientalist assumptions and stereotypes, absolutely ridiculous shit that the writers ABSOLUTELY should have known better about in the 60s and nonetheless carried into this. this is a hard one to recommend because I loved this cast, and I loved seeing them in a context beyond the usual stereotypical bit parts so many of them frequently were limited to—yet the movie itself perpetuates so many stereotypes on its own it can be a hard one to watch, and I totally understand if it does not work for most people. tl;dr watch for Shigeta, Kwan, Umeki, and the others, but content warnings galore for one (really bad) case of yellowface casting, orientalist tropes, extremely stereotypical character types, etc. (On Tubi/Kanopy last I checked.)

Charade (Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, James Coburn)—this movie feels like a Hitchcock movie except I had a ton of fun watching it, which I can't always say for a Hitch film. (I told you my taste was bad.) This one is free on YouTube and thank god because Audrey wears a lot of Givenchy, Cary Grant wears spectacles and keeps almost dying, it's very exciting and thrilling and funny and sexy. I don't think there are any content warnings but it's been a minute since I watched it. (I should go watch it right now.)

The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall)—they're so hot askjdljhjghladkghjksahkhgslkahgshskjhgsalhgsahgjh. i like this one a lot :)

[this is NOT A FULL LIST of all the hot vintage movies to start with but it might give you some starting places! i banged this out as quick as I could at 2 am, so apologies that it's sloppy and not perfect.]

for as long as you could remember, you and jude had been attached at the hip. your moms had always been close, and when they both had children at the same time they were determined to get them to be equally as close. and they'd succeeded. you and jude had gone through primary and secondary school together, and your closeness never faltered even when he moved to a completely different country. you were eachothers most loved person, eachothers first kiss at the grand age of nine years old, you were the best friend either of you would ever have.

when jude moved to madrid, you took the opportunity to spend more time with him than ever before, moving over to go to uni there. he'd even offered, no insisted, that you move in with him. and who were you to say no?

and it had all been great. cuddling and watching a film in judes bed had become nightly routine, and it was very rare that you made it back to your own, often too tired from judes fingertips gently dancing up snd down your arm lulling you to sleep. everyone around you was sure that you and him were more than just friends, but you'd never seen eachother in that way, and you were both sure that you never would. how wrong you both were.

-----------------------------------‐---------------------

your head was rested on judes chest, your eyes fluttering shut "hey, don't fall asleep on me angel" he teased, poking your nose and grinning in amusement when you scrunched it.

" 'm not, just resting my eyes"

"mhm"

you weren't resting your eyes. you woke up the next morning wrapped in judes arms. he was still asleep, and you tried to shuffle out of his arms to have a shower but he'd caught you. "where you going?" he mumbled, grabbing your wrist to keep you in the bed.

"'m going to have a shower. or is that not allowed?" you teased

"only if i watch" his wonky grin and voice thick with sleep gave you butterflies. "no you perv" you'd both seen eachother naked countless times, and jude loved making inappropriate jokes. if only you knew there was some meaning behind it.

"are you gonna come to my game today?" jude had got out of bed and you couldn't help but linger on his bare abs, the only clothing he was wearing being a pair of boxers. jude noticed but said nothing, and he couldn't deny the giddy feeling he felt when he saw you checking him out.

"have i ever missed a game?" you teasingly pinched his cheeks. "anyway stop staring at my arse now i need to get ready"

jude rolled his eyes, walking over to you. "i'll see you later. be safe on the way" he pressed a small kiss to your hair, something he did every time one of you were leaving.

-----------------------------------‐---------------------

jude didn't know what was happening. he'd always seen you as second sibling but lately he'd felt different. the way your smile could light up a whole room, the pride in your face whenever he mentioned anything about football, the way you cared for him. he'd always thought you were attractive, but lately he was seeing you in a whole new light. everytime he saw you his heart skipped a beat. the 'jokes' he'd always made started to have meaning behind them. but he didn't have a crush on you, no way?

his heart skipped a beat the moment his eyes locked onto you. you were never a huge fan of football, you'd said yourself many times you'd rather watch rugby but here you were, the sun hitting you perfectly, highlighting every feature, your smile that made his day better no matter what, your eyes sparkling as the sun bounced off them, as far as jude was concerned you were an angel on earth. and when he saw you standing proudly with his last name on your back it hit him, he was in love with you. absolutely infatuated. and he knew full well you'd never see him in the way he was beginning to see you. whenever someone asked, you'd jokingly pull a face of disgust before making it abundantly clear to that person that you were just friends and nothing more. jude had girls throw themselves at him everyday, yet he only wanted the girl that called him her brother.

little did he know you felt the same way. you hated the fact that you were starting to fancy your bestfriend. the teasing jokes, drunken kisses and the constant cuddling wasn't friendly. you could pretend not to be interested, to tell people you'd rather get a lobotomy than ever be with jude in a romantic way all you wanted but it wouldn't change the fact you wanted him to be yours and yours only. and maybe you had a chance. the way he acted with you didn't seem friendly, and you planned to attempt to make a move.

but then it changed. you and jude had both been invited to a mutual friends birthday party. you secretly couldn't wait to see jude, knowing his outfit would had you drooling. but he walked in with a girl that none of you had ever seen hanging off his shoulder and you felt your heart shatter.

"who's that?" muttered to your bestfriend

"don't know? is she his girlfriend? surely he'd have told you if he had one" she said, her eyes locked onto the new 'couple'

"he hasn't mentioned anything"

"weird" she replied, walking away quickly as she saw them approaching.

the first person jude brought her over to was you, of course it was. "y/n. this is jess" he smiled

"hi, i've heard so much about you. i love your dress" she was amazing. gorgeous, prefect hair, perfect body and she was nice. "thank you! sorry if this sounds rude but judes just not mentioned you. how long have you two been seeing eachother?" you shot jude a glare for putting you on the spot but he seemed completely oblivious.

"oh only a few weeks. i'm sorry i thought jude told you" jess shot him a glare too, and jude frowned. "no he didn't. sorry, i'm just gonna go grab a drink" you practically ran away, wanting nothing more than to be swallowed whole.

you'd spent the rest of the evening avoiding him completely, hiding to go to the toilet or getting one of your friends to drag to away every time jude was making his way over to you.

"god i can't even hate her. she's so fucking nice and pretty and just perfect" you slumped in a corner in the middle of two of your friends. you didn't have a justifiable reason to feel this way, you were just friends. but you were convinced that you were destined to be something more. you'd always wondered about jude, questioning if he ever had any romantic feelings for you, and lately you were certain he did. and you had accepted that you felt the same way, ready to tell him and he walked in with a girl you'd never met.

"are you upset because your hopelessly inlove with him?" one teased and you couldn't even argue back. she was right.

"i just feel like he's put me on the spot? he didn't tell any of us she was coming and she thought he had. she couldn't believe i didn't know who she was. am i being dramatic? i think i've had too much to drink" you pouted, completely unsure of whether you were being reasonable or not. " i'm gonna go and get some fresh air"

you rested your back flat against the wall, watching the cars go by. the cool air was refreshing, giving you a chance to think. "hey" jude came out and stood next to you. "fucking hell you scared me. what're you doing out here?"

"haven't seen you all night. where have you been hiding?"

"i haven't been hiding. just thought you might've wanted some space with jess" your tone was sharper than you intended, but you couldn't help it.

"what's that supposed to mean?"

"doesn't mean anything"

"do you not like her or something?"

"It's got nothing to do with her" you took a deep breath before turning to face jude "why didn't you tell me she was coming?"

"what?"

"i just feel like you've put me on the spot s'all. i mean did you not see how uncomfortable you made her by not telling me?"

"right. i think you're being a bit dramatic"

you scoffed, then you both went silent, focusing on your surroundings instead.

jude broke the silence first "you gonna come on saturday? jess is gonna be there and she's looking forward to seeing you again"

"dunno. i'll try but i might be busy" you mumbled. "i'm gonna go back in, getting cold now" you didn't give him a chance to reply, quickly walking past him.

-----------------------------------‐---------------------

you didn't go to the game. you knew it was petty but you just couldn't face it. you promised yourself you'd just sit this one out.

jude arrived home and went straight up to your room. he opened your door and carefully walked in. "hi"

"hi"

"why didn't you come to the game?"

"didn't feel right with jess being there" you shrugged. making up some stupid lie was far easier than admitting the truth. but the truth always comes out in the end. judes defeated "oh" sent guilt through your body, but it wasn't fair to tell him the real reason and to ruin a happy relationship. you'd get over him soon enough, right?

"sorry, i didn't mean to upset you. i just didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable, s'all. it feels weird being there if your girlfriends there "

"i get it. i'll see you in the morning, night." jude moved towards you with his arms outstretched, but you stepped back, mumbling something about a cold and you didn't miss the flicker of hurt in his eyes. you'd never denied him any hug, in fact it was rare for you to both be in seperate beds. but you had to get over him, and in your head the best way to do that was try to distance yourself from him. you knew it was hurting him, but you felt lost. you wanted him in a way that you could never have him.

-----------------------------------‐---------------------

the next two weeks consisted of you avoiding jude as much as you possibly could, pretending to be asleep or in the shower whenever he came to say goodbye to go to training. you ate separately, missed out on judes came with the excuse of being 'ill' or 'tired'. you knew it was mean, but in your head it was the only way to try and get over jude. he had a girlfriend that wasn't you and you just had to get over it.

but frankly jude was miserable. jess was perfect, really he should've been over the moon to be with her but she wasn't you. no girl would ever compare to you, but you'd shut him out completely for no apparent reason. he knew dating someone else was a stupid way to try and ignore his feelings for you because ultimately they only got stronger. but now with you icing him out he was sort of stuck.

you missed him terribly, especially tonight. he'd gone over to see jess and the jealously you felt was unlike anything else.

"jude i wanna talk to you" jude's 'girlfriend' muttered. he didn't really know what they were, it was difficult to label a relationship when he was in love with someone else.

"whats up"

"us. its not gonna work out"

"why"

"because you're in love with someone else. it's only fair on the three of us if you leave and go to her instead" she smiled softly. jude didn't know what to say, but he knew exactly who the girl infront of him was talking about. he said nothing to say, she was right. he'd never fully love someone else, and he couldn't begin to try unless he got the closure he needed. "i'm sorry. i don't want you to feel like i was dragging you along"

"it's okay. i knew the first time i met her you were both infatuated. the way she looked at you gave it all away. she's a lovely girl jude"

"thank you. i'm sorry"

"i know"

-----------------------------------‐---------------------

the pounding of judes fists against your door abruptly woke you up from your sleep. You swung the door open, ready to argue with whoever it was. but the exasperated expression on judes face stopped you in your tracks.

"jude?"

"what have i done wrong y/n?" the desperation in his voice cutting you deeply

"what"

"you've just cut me out your life completely and i don't know why? we never do anything anymore. you're not at my games you don't call me. i miss you."

"i'm not your girlfriend jude" you hissed, far harsher than you intended and you knew instantly that you were in the wrong. but what was he expecting? he had a girlfriend, why did he need you to play that role instead of her?

"well maybe i don't like the reminder" he mumbled but you'd heard him loud and clear.

"what?" you whispered, his quip like a harsh slap.

"such a smart girl but you can't see things right infront of your eyes. i am absolutely stupidly hopelessly in love with you y/n. jess was just my way of trying to forget about the way i felt about you because i knew you'd never want me in that way. but it didn't help, she didn't help. it's you or no one"

"really" was all you could stutter out, absolutely speechless at his confession.

"yes really. if you don't feel the same way tell me now and i'll be out your life forever" in all the years you'd been friends with jude, you'd never seen him so vulnerable and it rendered you speechless. you knew his reaction was genuine but you refused to believe it.

"no jude, i feel the same way. that's why i stopped speaking to you, seeing you with someone else killed me"

"why didn't you say anything?"

"why didn't you?"

you both went silent, feeling incredibly stupid. jude spoke up first "i was scared. whenever someone asked you if we were dating you'd just be so disgusted? like you always saw me just as a friend and i didn't wanna lose you. i'd rather be your best friend who's stupidly in love with you than lose you completely by confessing"

"i felt the same" you mumbled, head staring down at the floor. "god i feel so stupid. think of all the time we could've spent together if i said something"

"don't feel stupid" jude cupped your cheeks in his palms "look at me, you are the most amazing person i've ever met. and we're gonna spend the rest of our lives together angel, i promise" he leaned in, pressing his lips to yours and it was nothing short of perfection. your own hands rested on his side, judes lips soft and plump against yours. his tongue gliding against yours. it was like you were made for eachother.

you pulled back first, resting your forehead against judes."what about jess?"

"she ended it. she was really nice about it. she said she knew i loved you and she didn't want to try and force a relationship that wouldn't ever work"

"really?"

"yeah. we weren't really official anyway. i was only with her to try and get over you"

"what do we do now?" you whispered, a wide smile adorning both your faces. "was thinking we could go out to that coffee shop we always used to go to. just wanna take it slow, we've got all the time in the world"

"yes we do" you smiled, pulling him into your room and connecting your mouths again.

Hi, I’ve only read one meta by you yet, but you seem to be just the right person to ask this: did you notice how many people in the scenes outside the bookshop are wearing orange, in series 2?

Any idea what that’s all about? Is it just esthetics, an echo of the bookshop‘s columns, or does it have a filmographical significance? Everytime I watch the show there seem to be more orange clothes, once you start seeing that, it’s crazy how many there are!

Hey thanks for the ask! I mean, you have until 2026 to read more of my drivel so; pace yourself! Orange clothing is definitely an *interesting* choice for extras in film. You almost never see it in background actors clothing because... it draws the eye! The fact that they included so much orange, yellow, and loud patterning in the extras in season 2 is a real decision to throw film tradition and S1 cannon out the window.

I would like to submit my own theory that the choice was made as a deliberate nod to time travel. But first, a little background.

Compare two crowd scenes on Whickeber street from each season: It's kind of nuts that even at microscopic resolution we get such a HUGE difference.

That's not to say orange is missing. Here are the only two extras wearing orange in S1, and they happen to be in the same scene in episode 2, when Newt and Shadwell meet for the first time, discussing occult beings "hiding in plain sight". (witches in this case)

We also get some pretty obvious bright orange in main characters in S1: Madame Tracy and Beelzebub. We meet Tracy in orange as she immediately reveals to Newt multiple hidden identities, see her again wearing orange hair when she communes with spirits, and finally all decked out in orange when she is being possessed by an angel (a person hiding inside a person). Beelzebub wears an orange sash and medal as a high ranking Duke of Hell, so orange is maybe their house colour, or a prestigious colour for hell in general, but after season 2 we know Beelzebub doesn't always have the same face, and is hiding intentions of their own.

Orange doesn't have much biblical significance, mostly because the colour orange was mostly seen as "fire" or "bright" coloured until way after the bible was transcribed, and orange dye wasn't really a thing in the European world until significant trade with east Asia developed. Here's the only other bright orange thing to appear all season, (in a deleted scene): Crowley hiding in plain sight, posing as a maintenance worker.

I think we might be able to draw the conclusion from season 1 that orange is a colour associated with the "Hidden Occult/Power". Not necessarily only hell, but more as something otherworldly, that's hidden in plain sight. (Interestingly, we never ever see Anathema or Agnes Nutter in orange. So I wouldn't say it's related to witches at all.)

In season 2 however, orange is everywhere. More specifically on extras' clothing and the outside of Maggie's record shop.

Maggie seems to be the only main character to wear bright orange herself (E2).

But this is by far my favourite one: in the back of the crowd of demons getting a Shax pep talk in S2E5, there's a regular human extra wearing bright orange sitting amongst the army, completely unnoticed by both demons and audience, observing the plan.

This really set off alarm bells for me, because there's a very Terry Pratchett precedent for powerful and unnoticed orange-wearing characters in the discworld series : the time monks.

Terry's character Sweeper seen here on the original cover of Night Watch. The time monks' clothing and general philosophy is based on Thai buddhist monks, who (like in many buddhists sects) wear donated, saffron-dyed robes in orange and yellow/red to symbolize flames of purity, and to separate them from the world of gross matter, like a fallen leaf from a tree.

In the discworld novel Night Watch, the time monks are responsible for monitoring and cleaning up the timeline, pruning it like a bonzai tree. They are everywhere and yet unnoticed, inside the flow of time yet not of it. And they are the ones who guide the main character through the process of being stuck after falling back through his own timeline, into his own past.

(Excerpt from the book where Sweeper is explaning time travel to Vimes).

Extras circling in the background are called "background actors" because they exist to not be noticed. Put in extras wearing orange/yellow and bright red, and suddenly you can track them, and notice how they are part of the crowd, but stand apart from it. You can notice when they go missing from one cut to the next, or appear to circle or jump between frames. Many extras, including the demon army watcher, also seem to be circling, and monitoring the goings-on in the world of Good Omens. Based on the meaning of orange from S1, it would seem these mere background actors are more than they appear to be. Could they even be checking up on unwarranted time distortions or timeline ruptures happening around a certain Bookshop...?

Hey <3 Can you please do a first kiss with NCT dream imagine? Think it would be cute.

𝗡𝗖𝗧 𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠²¹: 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗞𝗜𝗦𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦

genre: fluff

trigger warnings: suggestive

a/n: bro I actually had this idea, didn't do it because I figured a lot of writers would've done it before. anyways, hope this is it.

he has been thinking about you non stop, like 24/7, 365 days. thinking about how it felt to hold you close, how it felt to have you around him, how it felt to wake up next to you, how it felt to touch those soft pink lips of your's. he's taking about it with johnny, jaehyun and everyone in existence around him, because as much as he'd love to have you romantically, he didn't want to ruin the friendship you two shared. 

after much pushing from nct dream, 127 and everyone he had ever consulted, he finally decides to do it. 

"uh..I have something to tell you. Can I play a song for you?"

has all the chords, and everything prepared cause it's do or die. you'd shut your eyes, enjoying his sweet voice and the music, until all the noise suddenly stops. you open your eyes then, looking at him who had his fingers crossed. you tilt your head to the side, confused but also finding all this adorable asf.

"Can I umm...kiss you, please?"

he'd be so respectful about it. when you nod, he's leaning in pressing his lips against your's. the first few seconds would be awkward. your lips would be just stuck together, no movement whatsoever, and then you move your lips softly against his, he replicates your gesture cupping your cheeks.

first kiss with him feels like the sky during sunset, fierce yet calm. it's reassuring, so much that you could entrust your all to him. he treats you like a doll, a delicate one at that, making sure everything and anything he does doesn't make you uncomfy.

such a cutie.

boy wouldn't even think about kissing you, cause in his mind you were his and he was your's. but when his members bring the question up, he's suddenly wondering. ways to ask you out and that.

you two would be sitting on the couch, watching a random Disney film that you paid little to no attention to. your legs would be all tangled up, the close proximity increasing your heart rate but none of you would say anything. when it was time for you to leave, he would hear all the words his members have ever said to him replay in his head.

would take you by surprise by grabbing your face, and pressing his lips against your's. you'd yelp softly, using your hands around his waist to stabilise yourself. and you kiss, successfully.

renjun didn't want to admit to himself but that was the best feeling ever. he hated himself for missing out on feeling your lips for so long, just because he was a delusional shit.

"that was great!". smiling from ear to ear- both of you equally. he'd lead you back inside, and after that there is a mandatory sleep over with smooches, pecks and kisses floating in the air.

first kiss with him feels like fireworks exploding inside your soul. he would pour all the love he had prepared all this time into your first kiss, giving you more to cherish and less to ask in return.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° ✧. ┊  ❝ 𝗝𝗘𝗡𝗢 𝗟𝗘𝗘 ❞

there was always a bit of sexual tension between you two. even if you didn't acknowledge it as such, it was still floating around everytime you were close to each other. it was very bothersome to the rest of the dreamies, which is why they came up with a plan to lock you two in a room.

it would be really awkward at first, both of you standing on the opposite sides of the room, not knowing what to do. you'd take the initiative to ask them to open the door, but of course they would never listen would they.

meanwhile, he is contemplating his options. what would be the worst thing to happen right now, if he were to kiss you? he'd go over his options over and over, again and again before deciding to go for it. if it went wrong, he'd loose you, but he knows it's worth trying.

because you were calling for help outside, your front is against the door, your voice screaming. he'd turn you around pressing your back against the door. taking your cheeks in his, he'd lean in. realising what was happening you'd close your eyes ready for his soft lips on your's.

"Uh..I like you, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

first kiss with him, is rough, passionate because he has to give you everything he held himself back from all this time. it's the feeling of never getting enough and wanting more.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° ✧. ┊  ❝ 𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗟𝗘𝗘 ❞

playful banter. that's all that would be happening between you guys. flirting is a must, haechan was an open flirt, and you were able to match his energy as equally. you two would be seated in the comfort of your couch, the sounds of thunder roaring outside.

playing some game together, facing each other. it would all be a playful banter. "the looser has to kiss the winner", he would propose. you'd look at him weirdly. "How would that benefit the winner?", you question. he shurgs setting everything up.

taking him up on his challenge, you begin playing. the game would continue on for about an hour or so, you'd grow increasingly frustrated ready to loose the game. and you do. he'd look at you smirking, puckering his lips up like a little shit.

rolling your eyes with a small blush on your face, you use to hands to support yourself and connect your lips together. you'd be damned to think it was that easy with him, he's moving away, looking away doing everything to playfully avoid your lips. done with him, you'd grab his chin, and finally connect your lips together.

"you cannot resist me, can you? now do that again"

first kiss with him is playful, childish, it's like revisiting your days in school, crushing on someone so hard that when you finally kiss him, it all feels worth it.

my favourite idiot.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° ✧. ┊  ❝ 𝗝𝗔𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡 𝗡𝗔 ❞

mutual pinning would be a must with you two. it's so painfully obvious you two like each other, but no one was confident enough to make a move. well, you two act like a couple even if you weren't so, in the end its all the same to you to.

he'd be cooking in the kitchen, you sitting on the counter watching him work his magic. you know he's making the move when he's eyeing you the whole time, subtly to see how your mood has been, just in case it doesn't turn bitter.

would slip up in between your legs (not in a dirty way ;)) anyways, would hold the sides of your thighs, leaning in, even though he wants to slam his lips onto your's, desperately craving your intimate affection, he'd still be respectful enough.

his lips would hover over your's, words of permission leaving him. "Can I?". you'd nod shyly, stealing your eyes away from his. he'd chuckle against your lips (SO HOT BRO STOP), holding your chin and kissing you.

he's slow with it. loves the way your lips taste like your watermelon chapstick. you're arms around around his neck, pulling him closer, literally wanting him inside your skin.

"You taste addicting, my love"

first kiss with him is comforting. like rushing back to find comfort in the arms of the person you love the most. would treat you like a princess, the one that deserves everything in this world.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° ✧. ┊  ❝ 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗟𝗘 𝗭𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗚 ❞

with him, it's different. you almost like him as much as you almost dislike him. it's more of a hate love dynamic between you two. so when you were making food for him after loosing a bet, you'd find yourself irritated by how much he's talking and making fun of you.

strings of words, and chuckles and laughs leave him the whole time, so much that you swore to god you'd to anything to shut his ass up. that's when the idea of actually shutting him up for good striked you out. why can't you kiss him? you were sure to yourself, you liked him a little atleast when he's not being annoying and that.

walking to him, who was seated on one of the kitchen islands, you held his chin, and pressed your lips against his- definetly shutting him up for good, or maybe even breaking his brain in the process because it takes him a whole lot of 5 seconds to respond to the kiss and kiss you back.

a blushing mess later, because he didn't just see you win against him. would be stuttering the whole time cause bro he's just taken aback, flustered every thing that would express surprise.

"That's so unfair"

first kiss with him would be cotton candy, the tastes of your chapsticks mixed together, creating something special only you two would be able to cherish long.

┊ ➶ ｡˚ ° ✧. ┊  ❝ 𝗝𝗜𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗞 ❞

you two had started dating a few months ago, but both of you were very shy to initiate any sort of skinship, you were kids in the world of relationship after all. it would be a very normal day, both of you sprawled across the floor playing video games together.

fighting to beat each other. he enjoyed being around you, you bought calm into his always noisy heart. because he was about to loose he'd come up with a plan to snatch your controller away from you, and hold it high in the air.

of course, you had to get it back and win otherwise what was the point of existing really. you'd stretch your hands out, reaching to hold the controller or even touch it, but it was him, with his long hands he pushed it the farthest he can.

before you realised, through your fighting, you were on one of his thighs. embarrassed, you were about to get off and leave the room but he held you back by holding your wrist. taking in the fact that he was leaning closer, you closes your eyes and waited for him to connect your lips.

"I was waiting months to do that"

first kiss with him is patience. the need to have each other close all the time, it's the love he had stored for you pouring out after long.

“You’re still reading the comments?” Timothèe asked. His arms wrapped around you from behind, his head resting on your shoulder.

“Yeah. It’s good to see them after all this chaos.”

He sighed. “Y/n-”

“Hey. I know what you’re gonna say. Don’t.”

“But-”

“Look,” you turned around to see his beautiful face. “I never blamed you for this. So stop feeling bad. It’s over now, I barely get any negative comments.”

He looked at you for a long time before kissing you. “Alright, mon coeur.”

“We should get going tho. We’re gonna be late.”

He smiled. “Yeah, you’re right.”

“So Timothèe, you don’t have to answer this if you feel uncomfortable but your fans are wondering about your relationship with Y/n L/n. Anything you want to share?”

He took a deep breath. “Yeah. You all probably know most parts we- mostly she had to deal with a lot of things. It was hard for both of us. I felt so devastated because she didn’t deserve to hear those horrible things they’ve said about her.”

“What did you guys do after the break up?”

“Well, I worked harder in order to keep myself busy. I don’t even know how could I stand being without her. I take a break from social media but I saw her posts. About herself, about her new film, about her life. I was so proud of her because she was so strong but I felt so bad because I couldn’t be there with her. The moment I watched her interview with vogue I knew I had to talk to her. I’m so glad she accepted it and here we are.”

“I’m so happy for you guys. I hope you two will never have to go through something like this again.”

“Me too. Thanks,” he smiled.

"Cariño, you gotta tell me what's wrong? We can take things slow if that's what you want. You already know you're in control here. But, is something else wrong?" Santi sighs, sitting back on the couch after you pushed him away, yet again, before things could go too far. You couldn't blame his reaction, not after you had been hot and cold for weeks now.

Everytime he had tried to take things further, into anything that involves you removing clothing, you had made excuses to stop. He'd always backed off without complaint, reassuring you that he'll wait until you're ready, but you know he's starting to suspect there's more that you're hiding. God damn over observant Santiago Garcia. His military training served him too well in that.

The truth was, it wasn't that you didn't want things to go too far. In fact, you wanted very much to have his body pressed up against yours, his mouth against your skin, his cock buried deep inside you.

But for that to happen he had to see your body. And that was what scared you the most.

"Hey." His voice, and his fingers gripping your chin, turning your face to force you to look at him, rips you from your thoughts.

Meeting his questioning gaze you're struck, and not for the first time, by how pretty he is. Especially now — hair tousled by your fingers, eyes bright with lust, lips kiss swollen, cheeks flushed.

It makes you want to drag him back down onto the couch and lose yourself in his kisses once more.

"Tell me where your head is at," he pleads, his gaze soft. "Whatever it is, we can talk about it.

"I don't want to take it slow," you whisper, swallowing hard, sliding your vision away from him, even as he holds your face. You focus your eyes on the coffee table, the empty glasses and half eaten snacks, the movie still playing quietly in the background. You had stopped watching some time ago when you caught him watching you more than the film.

"There's a but coming, right?" Santi prompts when you lapse into silence.

"It's just…"

It's just I don't want you to be disappointed.

It's just I don't look like your exes.

It's just I don't think you'll want me.

You trail off, struggling to find the words to explain your fears.

"It's just, what?" Santi presses, his tone still gentle as ever.

"Idontwantyoutoseeme," you mumble out quickly, flicking your eyes back to him for a split second before you look away again.

Santi lets out a sigh, although it's not one of impatience, or disappointment. It sounds more like he might be… relieved.

"That's what you're worried about? Jesus, you scared me." He gives a small chuckle, shaking his head as he takes your face in both his hands, which forces your gaze back to his. For a long moment, he studies you, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"You are beautiful," he states simply before his hands drop to your waist and he shifts, leaning over you and guiding you back to lie down against the couch, once more taking up his position over you, nestling himself between your thighs.

"Have you noticed what you do to me?" He asks, hammering home his point by pressing the bulge in his pants up against your core, making you gasp, despite the anxiety coiled tight in your stomach.

"With my clothes on maybe," you mumble, unable to quiet the vicious thoughts still seeping through.

"I want to see you. I want to see all of you. You don't have to hide from me," he whispers against the shell of your ear, dipping his head to place a trail of kisses down your neck.

"I don't think you'll like what you see." Even as the fear builds you can't stop the moan that steals its way from your lips as he seals his lips against your neck, sucking a mark there.

"Can I be the judge of that?" He asks, leaning up on his arms to look at you. "Do you trust me?"

"Yes." Your response comes with no hesitation. You don't even have to think about it. You do, wholeheartedly, entirely, trust him. He's done more than enough to earn that trust from you.

"I'm not going to force you into anything you don't want to do, but please trust me when I say I will love every inch of you."

The sincerity in his voice makes tears prick your eyes.

You swallow hard, still arguing with the voice in the back of your mind that tells you you aren't good enough for him, that he won't want you.

Santiago waits patiently while you muddle through your thoughts.

After a long moment, what feels like a millennia of debating, you give him a nod, and watch his smile transform into one of absolute pride.

"If you're uncomfortable at any time, stop me, okay?" He requests, and you nod again, not trusting your voice not to waiver if you answered.

He captures your lips once more in a long, slow, passionate kiss. His tongue mapping out every corner of your mouth, sliding along yours, his teeth nipping at your lower lip, keeping you breathless.

This time when his hands begin to tug the hem of your shirt up, you don't stop him.

He unpeels each layer of your clothes carefully, waiting for you to relax before he moves on to the next, almost maddeningly slow in his actions. Still, you appreciate his patience.

When you're finally fully bared, what feels like an age later, he sits back, dropping your panties to the floor as his eyes roam the flesh laid out before him.

You feel sick, dizzy with anxiety, waiting for him to realise how bad you look, how much he doesn't want you, to make excuses for you to leave.

Santiago does none of those things.

Instead, he lets out a low groan.

"Shit, you are incredible."

You could almost think he was lying, just to make you feel better, but as you look up at him, his eyes hooded, pupils blown wide, licking his lips like you were a meal he's been waiting all day for, you could actually kid yourself into believing him.

You squirm under his unwavering gaze, your hands automatically going to cover your stomach, twisting away from him.

Santi`s eyebrows pull together in a deep frown, shaking his head.

"Don't do that. Don't ever do that again. Not with me," he scolds you softly as he pries your hands away from your body, pinning them down to the couch.

Leaning over you he captures your lips, his kisses tender and loving. His hands wander your body slowly, mapping each curve as he grinds himself against your core. Each slow roll of his hips pushes the zipper of his jeans up against your clit, drawing muffled moans from your lips. Each sound you make he swallows as though they were a vintage wine, something to be savoured.

"Want to make you feel good," he slurs, finally giving you a moment to breathe. "Can I make you feel good?"

Still unable to form words, you nod, probably a little too enthusiastically, causing Santi's eyes to crinkle as he grins.

"Yeah?" He confirms, moving his kisses down to your breasts, peppering them with soft brushes of his lips. "Baby gonna be good and let me kiss her all over?"

You can feel the slick wetness pooling between your legs, the heat blazing across your skin, the blood roaring in your ears, and the ever present anxiety nipping at your thoughts, a constant companion which never seems to quiet.

Well, that is until Santi bites your nipple, turning your yelp at the sharp pain, into a moan as he soothes it with his tongue.

After that, all your thoughts, good and bad, begin to get a little hazy.

"Mmmm I like that noise," he hums, lathering your other breast with the same attention, making you struggle to catch your breath with the pleasure he was already wringing from you.

As his kisses trail lower, his lips pressing against the plush of your stomach, you can't help but try to curl in on yourself, trying to hide as much as you can in the small space of the couch.

It's a pointless endeavour. Santi's mouth pays particular attention to every part you try to twist away, or subtly hide as you move your arms.

He spends an age trailing soft kisses all the way across your stomach, before working his way back to your naval, and then down, leaving tiny love bites in his wake. A trail marking you as his over all the places you hate, before he stops, head between your already trembling thighs, looking up at you.

When your eyes meet his, he grins before he dips his head, holding your gaze as he thrusts his tongue deep inside you.

Your head slams back against the arm of the couch, your eyes squeezing shut, the image of his face buried in your pussy blazing behind your eyelids. You choke back a moan as his tongue loops up around your clit, before back down to taste you again.

"Keep making noises like that and we're going to have a problem," he warns, warm breath fanning out across your already heated skin, making you squirm with the stimulation.

You have no idea what problem he's talking about, and as his tongue slides through your folds, up to circle your clit a second time, you really couldn't care less about it either.

Your back arches as you chase the warm pleasure of his mouth, a groan of his name falling from your lips. His fingers dig into the meat of your thighs, holding you open for him as he feasts on your pussy like a starved man.

Curses and praises fall freely from your lips, accompanied by whimpers and moans as he expertly coaxes you closer and closer to the edge, all your anxieties silenced by the overwhelming pleasure that stops you from concentrating on anything else.

Santi groans, a noise that vibrates through your entire core, and pushes you dangerously close to the edge. When one of his hands disappears from your thigh, you can't help but open your eyes to glance down at him, your breath catching.

His eyes are closed, a look of pure bliss you haven't seen before on his face, as his tongue laps languidly at your slick cunt, while he palms his hard cock through his pants.

You throw your head back once more with a whine, unable to continue to watch him as he chooses that moment to seal his lips over your clit and suck, hard.

The vision of him, the overwhelming pleasure, the heat of his mouth, is too much, and you come undone with a strangled cry, your body trembling, and your vision going white as the pleasure crests and crashes over you.

Even through the roaring noise of blood in your ears, and the way your orgasm makes your mind fuzzy, you still catch the tail end of Santiago's gasped curse, followed by a low, broken groan. You can't help but think it sounds suspiciously like….

You don't even get to fully finish the thought before your body shudders in desire. That couldn't be the case when you haven't even touched him.

Then again the look on his face before…

When you can finally feel your limbs again you lean up on your elbows to look down your body at him, as he, somewhat awkwardly, sits back on his heels, a wet patch blooming out on his pants.

"Santi…did you…?" You swallow, trailing off as he looks somewhat abashed.

"Um, yeah," he admits, an unmistakable blush forming on his cheeks.

"Because of….me?" You ask quietly, feeling a strange sense of pride that, even as you are, you were able to do that to him.

"Oh, enjoying this, are we?" Santi laughs teasingly, relaxing a little when he sees your wide eyed surprise and the smile you're trying to bite down.

Putting his arms either side of you, he cages you in, as he runs his nose up the length of your neck. Even the lightest of touches makes your body shiver with desire.

"Maybe…a bit," you admit, a little distractedly as he places a kiss below your ear, pressing his body against yours, clearly knowing exactly what he's doing to you.

"Good," he mumbles into your skin. "Although next time I cum I want to be buried inside you."

He whispers it so sinfully low in your ear, you swear you could cum again just from his words.

Your breath catches and you can feel Santiago's smug smile against your neck, where he's still busy pressing soft kisses.

"I'm a little bit disappointed though," you manage to swallow out, trying to ignore the way his hand is skimming across your sweat damp skin, down the outside of your thigh, before slowly working its way back up.

Santi pulls back to look at you so quickly, you're surprised he doesn't put his back out.

"Disappointed?"

You can't quite tell if it's outrage or concern, that laces his tone, but whichever it is, you can't stop the laugh that bubbles up and out of your mouth, only making him frown more deeply.

"Cariño," he starts, stopping when you put a hand over his mouth to interrupt him.

"I'm disappointed I didn't get to see you."

It takes a moment for him to catch up, still clearly trying to work out what he has done wrong to disappoint you, but the moment it clicks his face transforms into a wolfish grin.

"Well, give me half an hour and I'll show you anything you want," he winks. "For now I guess I'll go back to admiring you." His eyes flicker once more down your body, surveying you like prey.

It makes your pussy clench.

"You really mean it don't you?" You whisper as he tilts his head in question. "You do like me the way I am?"

"I really mean it," he confirms seriously, "you are perfect."

He doesn't give you much time to think too hard about his confirmation, or really anything at all. Leaning back into you he captures your lips in a passionate kiss, clearly working on making you forget your own name.

You wrap one hand around the back of his neck, holding him to you as the other slips down his back to playfully squeeze his ass, drawing a low growl from the man above you.

Santiago is quick enough to get his revenge, slipping a hand between your bodies to brush his fingers against your clit.

You let out a gasp, and shudder with the over stimulation, as his fingers draw tight circles against your sensitive nub.

"You said half an hour," you practically whimper, unable to stop your hips canting up against his hand.

"For me. I didn't say you get a break." He smirks, slipping a finger into your wet heat, drawing another broken sound from you. "I want you to make those pretty sounds for me again… and again… and again."

THE TOP 5 ANIME THAT I HAVE WATCHED AND REWATCHED THIS 2024.

5. SLAMDUNK

My number one anime before I rekindled my love for anime this past decade. I've thought that no one could match this masterpiece until I have watched the animes that were released from 2010- present.

PLOT:🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟

Slamdunk's plot was one of the most awe- inspiring of all time. The character development of the protagonist and how he was building his love for basketball as he slowly gets closer to Ayako (his romantic interest in the series), was exceptional. Although Ayako had her full attention towards Kaede Rukawa (Sakuragi's archnemesis), the determination he had to become the greatest basketball player through Ayako's eyes was very heartwarming and was just a pleasure to watch.

One of the reasons why I couldn't get enough of this anime was because of the progressive storyflow. Sakuragi just gets better everytime--- he never fails to surprise viewers with his amazing hidden skills.

BEST ARC IMO: The Hisashi Mitsui Comeback

A lot of 90s anime fanatics will agree with me on this one. This was the first time I fell hard 💓 with a fictional character---which is NORMAL may I add. Hahahahah. This was the plot twist that took many by surprise which also featured the ultimate anime love song of all time- WANDS' "Sekai Ga Owaru Made Wa" - a perfect fit as an ending song for an emotional rollercoaster arc.

ANIMATION DYNAMICS: 🌟

Straightforwardly, the animation dynamics of Slamdunk compared to the anime today are archaic. It is flat and you'd feel that these are just patched-up clips of manga panels with added transition. But hey, it's fair to say this, because the anime was made in the early 90s...to expect a 4D dynamics is inconceivable.

GRAPHICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟

What I like about the 90's anime was the animators' respect for human anatomy. There's a big probability that, since Slamdunk is a sports anime, it's just natural to design characters with emphasized muscles and appendices. Although it wasn't just that, even in just a still frame, an illustrator's eye can really tell that the respect for human figure is surely present.

REASON/S FOR REWATCHING- A fufillment of the afternoon-anime nostalgic phase, missing Hisashi Mitsui.

4. DEMON SLAYER

The anime that is fearsome- literally and figuratively.

PLOT and SETTING: 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟

A mini ick would immediately crawl-in if I had watched an anime that is based from old Japan. I mean the Japanese-ness ( sorry for the term, I couldn't find a politically correct one for this ) is a double-kill for me. Modern Japan is tolerable, but the ancient ones don't emit any appeal.

Demon Slayer is different. Even though the anime is set in Taisho era, there's a modern feeling that I get from it--- modern, in a sense that, there were super powers involved and the attitudes of characters exude certain freshness and humor that you won't probably see in most anime that are inspired by the old Japan. The story is about a young boy who wants to avenge the death of his family from a gruesome demon attack, but he has to overcome the struggles to kill BOSS DEMON Muzan in able to wipe-out the existence of demons in his world. Typical story, but the process on how Tanjiro does it, is quite interesting and had locked my attention for a longer period of time, unexpectedly.

BEST ARC IMO: Entertainment District Arc

I am a sucker for anything that is "visual-candy". The obssession I have with color, movement, composition, and tiny details is unmatched. Personally, I am a maximalist. A well-coordinated maximalist in real life but when it comes to what I consume, whether it's film, series, or anime, my eyes require orgasm! This arc has everything that I love, burst of colors, magnanimous intricate details all in one frame, lights, glitter, dazzling magical effects, groups of anime characters wearing majestic clothes and make-up-- you get the works. Irregardless of this arc being so visually exhilarating, it has the funniest yet touching and tragic story in all released seasons of this anime as if all those enthralling visuals has to veil a certain darkness. A lot of peole would say that Mugen train is the most touching arc, but it only places second or third for me.

ANIMATION DYNAMICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟

Because this anime has a lot of action and fighting scenes, I somehow expected to have a variety of POVs. But if my memory serves me right, the only arc that had shown me plenty of POVs and camera works was the Tsuzumi Mansion arc... The later arcs, although dynamic enough, had fewer cameraworks despite the number of action scenes these arcs posess. The latest one, the Hashira Training arc, even with BOSS DEMON MUZAN, the cameraworks kinda fell flat to me.

GRAPHICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟

I am actually on the fence with the graphics and character design of this anime series. The characters have a modern take--- with gradient hair, facial marks and other unique features that make each anime character easily distinguishable. But! The GORY-ness of the fight scenes of this anime somehow contradicted the cuteness of the characters. What I also adore in this anime is the detailed background. It gives a lot of Makoto Shinkai feels plus the 3D effects. I almost drooled over the first episode of this anime--- winter, snow-covered backgroud, yet the animators managed to pull-off brilliant 3D effects of snow.

3. THE APOTHECARY DIARIES

This anime reminds me of Fushigi Yuugi—- just with a protagonist that has no stupidity on display. I was so hooked with this anime for quite some time and now excited for the next season.

PLOT and SETTING: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Think of Imperial China, meets House MD meets Ron Kamonohashi. Set in Tang dynasty, Maomao- the main character is the adopted daughter of a former eunuch who had extensive knowledge in herbs and apothecary. Maomao learned this skill from him and is able to gain further knowledge in poisonous ingredients by baiting herself as a poison tester for the current emperor's favorite concubine.

This anime totally gained my interest, not just because it is an eye-candy anime, but because of the story as well. It's interesting how Maomao's knowledge in apothecary has unlocked scandals, dark secrets and mysteries that surround the imperial palace. The flow of the story was made in such a way that, if you had missed an episode, you'll find yourself puzzled because each episode is interconected with the rest. That's why this anime would definitely require your full, undivided attention.

The only little thing I could complain about this is, a lot of details and scenes are actually inspired by the real Imperial China. So, if you are going to watch this without some prior knowledge of Chinese history, you'd feel a bit lost because some events depict the culture of the people from the past. This reason alone had made me watch the Chinese period drama entitled "The Double". It was so well-researched, that it would make so curious, you’d do your own research to fully understand the series. It's why despite this anime only having 24 episodes, it took me almost two months to finish it.

ANIMATION DYNAMICS: 🌟🌟

Because this is a detective type of anime, with poison as the main culprit of unsolved mysteries, I, of course didn't expect it to be full-packed of action. The transitions and animations are actually so subtle, for the viewers to appreciate other factors in this anime like the graphics and the story. But, cameraworks are still very present, some scenes are shown in variety of camera perspectives.

GRAPHICS: 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Another eye-candy anime, the characters and specially the backgrounds are made so exquisitely, its easy to fall in love with every little detail in the series. Every frame is filled with color, composition and texture. Graphic-wise, this is my second most favorite next to Violet Evergarden. Visually, it's too captivating that I couldn't find the words to describe the fascination I felt watching this anime. The visuals are just uhhm, CHEF'S KISS.

2. SPY x FAMILY

I think it is safe to say that this anime is my "comfort anime". I can rewatch this anime for a hundred times and will never get bored. This anime is just very pleasant to watch.

PLOT and SETTING: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Any anime series that is well-researched, and is inspired by historical contexts capture my heart in a jiffy. Spy x Family is a great example. Because even with a sprinkle of history, it is shown in a clear and suave way that can easily grasped by the audience. Spy x Family is about an incredible spy who needs to fulfill a mission ASAP in order to dodge an impending war that's going to happen between two countries: Westalis and Ostania. But for the spy to complete this mission, he has to adopt a daughter--- and from then on, Loid's family would face more compelling but funny adventures.

ANIMATION DYNAMICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟

This is a well-balanced anime with regards to its animation dynamics. Since this anime is my "comfort anime", I can attest that every frame is a delight to watch. Diverse animation dynamics are present when it needs to be present, and subtlety is applied if the scene doesn't necessarily need it. However, I have observed that more complex animation dynamics are always obvious in Yor Forger's fight scenes compared to the rest of the characters’ scenes.

GRAPHICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

The consistency of the characters look in each episode is pretty impressive. Emotions are captured so well. Colors are warm, yet bright. Background setting are so detailed you'd feel that you are in Western Europe in its summer season. I couldn't complain really, the anime is within my standards, but what surpirsed me more with Spy x Family, is the presence of mid-century art pieces in Loid Forger's apartment. This anime had proven that the creators are so knowedgeable with art history and interior design as well.

REASON/S FOR REWATCHING : Like what I said, it is my comfort anime. I will just watch this whenever I feel like it.

1. ATTACK ON TITAN

Do we even need to discuss how GREAT this anime is? The word GREAT is such an understatement for this masterpiece. The very first time I watched this anime, I was in so much awe with the thought that someone could even create a concept or story that has never done before. This anime is the MOST REMARKABLE anime that I have ever watched in my entire life and that's not a hyperbole.

PLOT AND SETTING: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Set in a fictional, locked country-PARADIS, which is inspired by a town in Germany, Eren Jaeger had dreamt of liberation and an end to their everyday suffering (the return of the titans). His ultimate dream is to eradicte the titans that consume human beings so he can destroy the walls that serve as a barrier between humans and titans, and eventually gain infinite freedom. There are things that I just want to warn the new viewers of this anime:

First, this anime is too morbid, brutal, and devastating. It's not for people who gag at the first sight of blood and definitely not for audiences who want to end an episode in a cheery note. If you are an anime fan, and you think that Kimetsu no Yaiba is gory and morbid, AOT is 50 x more than that. Genocide is so common in almost all of the episodes.

The other one is, you have to glue yourself on the screen. Eagerly watch so that you can never miss a single detail, because every tiny piece of detail has a significant relevance to the latter seasons. This anime also, is presented in reverse chronological order, and contains plenty of memory linkages, so you should really invest a lot of critical thinking in order to understand it wholly. It's imperative that I schedule an AOT marathon once every six months. I always rewatched from the very beginning whenever there was a new released season. That's how englufed you should be and you would be, because getting hooked and addicted to this anime is inevitable!

ANIMATION DYNAMICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Because the characters require to fly in order to defeat the titans, let's say that there's 101 and more views and perspectives you'd experience in this anime. It's not just your typical ants-eye view that you generally expect if you are in the sky, riding a hot-air balloon. Its animation dynamics is top-notch. Imagine being in a roller-coaster! That's the feeling you are going to get from the fight scenes of this anime. The animators created the scenes in a way that would make you feel you are included (amazing, isn' it?). If AOT will be in an IMAX theatre, the experience is going to be so surreal. So, so surreal.

GRAPHICS: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

The only complain that I have for this anime is the inconsistency of the character design and the mega- bold lining of characters specially during the first season. This anime is not meant to make you feel light and happy, hence the limited color palette---from neurtral to inferno colors. There's also one thing that I'd like to address...the glow-up of Levi is so discernible as the story progresses, from cutie patootie Levi in season 1, to "my clothes look good on your bedroom floor" Levi in season 4. 💓

REASON/S FOR REWATCHING: I need to watch my husband (Levi Ackerman) from time to time hahahah, and to look for more easter eggs in the story. Yes, you need to rewatch this anime a lot of times to gain more clues and shocking details.

Now there is my top five. I only presented five for now because I'm trying to renavigate myself in the world of blogging. Blogging should be the MAIN thing for 2025. Social media should hit a reset! We are already entertained and we're tired of it. Now, let's gain more information and knowledge through REAL reading and share information through writing. Not just a single sentence--- but writing in PARAGRAPHS. Let your followers or viewers adore you through your words!

can you do a ethan x male reader where Ethan is very shy and nervous when he goes around reader and then finally asks him out thanks !

Gold rush.

Ethan landry x male reader

I tried my best with this. I hope I portrayed Shy Ethan good enough you and I hope you enjoy what I did with the story!!

Ethan couldn't believe he let Chad drag him to this party. Out of all the things he could have been doing tonight, a Halloween party was not one of them. He stuck by Chad the entire time, too scared to interact with anyone else. 

Chad and Him were dancing, vibing along to the music that filled the entire house. Ethan stopped dancing when Chad tapped his shoulder. He was pointing towards something. 

"Look who's here" He looked over at where Chad pointed. It was Y/N. Chad gave Ethan a playful smile.

Chad was the only person who knew about his feelings towards Y/N. Ethan and Y/N weren't that close, only talking a few times. They had a class in film studies together. Ethan had tried to talk to him in the classes, which only led to him stumbling over his words or saying the stupidest shit ever. They had interacted outside of class a few times too. Mainly when Y/N hung out with Anika. Those two were like peas in a pod. It wasn't often but sometimes Anika would invite Y/N whenever they would hang out. Everytime she did this Ethan found himself trying his best to look presentable, always checking how his hair looked or making sure he dressed a certain way that made him look more attractive. 

He wasn't sure what it was about this boy that made him act like a fool. Was it his innocent eyes? His soft smile? Or maybe his comforting voice? He couldn't choose one aspect, they all made Y/N him, and that's what Ethan loved. He was special, at least in Ethans eyes. 

Chad shook Ethans shoulders, snapping him out of his trance. "You should go up to him. Maybe even ask him out" He jokingly jabbed his elbow into Ethans ribs. 

"What? No way. You're insane" Ethan started to blush. He was not going to embarrass himself like that. "He might not even like guys" he added

"Oh come on, he definitely does. Him and Anika went with Mindy to that pride parade a few months ago" Chad replied. 

"That means nothing" Ethan rolled his eyes with a scoff. 

"Just go up to him." Chad placed his hand on Ethans shoulder. "I'm sure it'll be ok" 

Ethan looks at Chad then over at Y/N. He was standing by a table, filling his cup up with whatever drink had been out. Ethan assumed Anika went off with Mindy somewhere, considering he was standing there alone. Those two rarely left each other's side. 

"Fuck it" Ethan looked back at Chad. Chad jumping up and down, slapping Ethans chest. 

"YES MAN YOU GOT THIS" He shouted, pushing Ethan towards the boy. "Go get him." 

Ethan began to walk over, fiddling with his hands. He couldn't believe he was doing this. He looked back at Chad, who gave him an encouraging smile and thumbs up. The walk felt like eternity. Like he was walking down an endless hall. He felt his palms start to sweat and his hands began to shake a little. His heart was pounding. He was really doing this. 

He reached the table, standing behind Y/N. He froze, not sure how to initiate the conversation. He reached forward tapping his shoulder. Y/N turned around. Ethan watched as a smile grew onto his face. 

"Omg Ethan hey" Y/N took Ethan in for a hug. "I didn't think you'd be here, doesn't seem like your thing. Nice costume though." Ethan smiled like an idiot. 

"You too" That's it? That's all he could do? A you fucking too? He wanted to leave. Turn around and never show his face again. 

Y/N chuckled. "Thanks. So what Brought you here?" he asked before taking a sip from his drink. 

"Uhh, Chad." he said pointing behind him. He saw Y/N lean over a bit before waving at Chad who was staring over at them. "So um I think we should talk." he begins to panic. "Unless you don't want to, I don't mind really. It's your decision" He felt himself cringe. He probably looks like an idiot right now. 

"Huh?" Y/N squints his eyes, leaning closer to Ethan trying to figure out what he said. "Sorry, the music's kind off fucking up my hearing right now. You wanna head somewhere quieter?" 

"Uh yeah sure" Ethan said. He felt a grasp on his arm as Y/N began to lead him through the house. They walked towards a sliding door that led outside. Surprisingly no one was out there. Y/N turned to face Ethan after he closed the door over. 

"Sorry, I couldn't hear a thing you said." Y/N sat down on the ledge of the step looking up at Ethan as he did the same. 

"oh um, it was nothing." Ethan internally cursed himself. Come on. He can do this. "Actually, I asked if we could talk." He says turning to face Y/N. He felt his face heat up releasing how close they were. 

"Oh ok. About what? Is everything ok?" Y/N looked worried. Something about it was cute to Ethan. 

"Yeah don't worry, everything's ok. I um. I just" He froze, should he continue? Fuck. He turned to look at the grass in front of him. His eyes began to water. He could practically hear his heartbeat at this point. 

"Just what?" Y/N reached up, placing a hand on Ethans shoulder. Ethan looked up from the ground, into Y/N's eyes. 

"I just wanted to ask you something thats all" He shook his head. "Its so dumb" 

"Hey, come on. A lot of dumb stuff comes out of your mouth but I'm sure this isn't." He felt Y/N move closer. "It can't be that dumb if you're this worked up over it" 

"Ok fine" Ethan took a deep breath, he didn't want to fuck this up. "I think you're cute, like really cute. I've felt this way for a while, like since the first day I saw you. You're just beautiful, your smile, your eyes, your laugh, how you always put people before you, just everything about you. I don't know if you feel the same, or if you even like guys, but I really needed to get this off my chest." Ethan sat there looking at Y/N. He didn't answer. Shit. Did he say too much? He knew he rambled a bit but was it that bad? He went to get up. 

"Wait, Ethan" Y/N grabbed his arm, pulling back, keeping him from leaving. "I um" Ethan felt like crying. He was about to be rejected. He knew it. He was going to scream at Chad for making him do this. 

"Listen Y/N, I'm sorry, i shouldn't have said all this" he pulled his arm away, leaving through the door, he turned back to glance at Y/N. He was just sitting there, shocked. Ethan felt his breathing get faster. 

Ethan stormed through the crowd, trying to get to the front door. On his way he bumped into Chad. 

"Hey Ethan, how did it go?" Chad looked at Ethan, seeing the tears on his cheeks. "oh shit, it's ok, we were just about to head home anyways." Chad placed his hand onto Ethans back, leading him to the front door. 

Ethan was glad Sam and Tara were arguing ahead of them, it took the attention off him. Chad and Ethan strolled behind the group. Anika had asked how he was. Ethan gave a faint smile, taking his helmet from his costume off. Anika grabbed the hat from his hands, placing hers on his head. She smiled back before turning back to walk with Mindy. 

Ethan felt his phone vibrate. He pulled it out to check. Seeing a message from Y/N. "Where are you???" Ethan looked at it for a moment not knowing what to say. Why did he even care where he was? Before he could type a response he heard his name. He turned to see Y/N coming over, a worried expression on his face. 

"Hey, can we talk?" Y/N looked at Chad. Chad nodded before walking to catch up with the others. 

"I'm um. I'm sorry for what I said back there. It was so stupid, I don't know what I was thinking. You probably don't even like guys." Ethan realised he was rambling again. 

Y/N took Ethans hand, looking into his eyes. "No. I'm sorry. I froze back there, I wasn't expecting you to say that. I should have said something instead of just sitting there." Y/N moved closer, using his hand to wipe away the tears that still lingered on Ethans cheek. "I was hoping maybe we could talk now." 

Ethan nodded. He didn't know what to say. He didn't want to say anything stupid. 

"Ok. Well, I think you're cute too." Y/N gave Ethan a smile. "I've liked you for a while now aswell. I honestly didn't think you liked guys either." Y/N laughed to himself. "You don't understand how happy I was to hear those words come out of your mouth." 

Ethan began to blush. A smile growing on his face. 

"I was wondering if I could maybe head back with you guys? Party has gotten a bit boring" Ethan laughed, unable to contain the amount of joy he had. 

"I'd like that." He replied. The boy's hands stayed intertwined as they walked down the street towards Ethan's group of friends. Chad looks back, giving Ethan a smile. Ethan looks their hands. He couldn't believe it, he felt like he was in a dream. He glanced up at Y/N, taking in the boy's beauty. He takes a deep breath. Closing his eyes. Taking in the moment he has been hoping for since he met Y/N.

I’ll Be Home Soon- Tom Hiddleston xreader fan fic

Summary: Tom is leaving to go film Loki season 2 and Y/N takes him to the airport personally to say goodbye

Warnings: angsty & a lot of fluff and cute moments, tear jerker, mentions of Loki season 2 but no spoilers, this is gonna be kind of a sad one I’m sorry lovelies, let me know if I miss anything

~Tom’s POV~

I was packing to go film Loki season 2 and I was really excited to continue playing Loki again. I finished packing the rest of what I needed and I got my phone out to call a cab to take me to the airport but then my girlfriend Y/N came in the room and said “hey Tom would it be ok if I took you to the airport this time? I wanna be able to say goodbye to you there if that’s alright?” I smiled taking her hands in mine and said “I would love it if you took me, thank you my love.” I kissed her knuckles and grabbed my bags to carry them to the front door and Y/N said “ok got everything honey?..” I looked at my bags and said “Yep I believe so, do you have the car keys?” She grabbed the keys from the key holder and her purse and said “yep I’ve got them, lets go.”

I put my bags in the trunk and the ride there I noticed Y/N was quiet while she drove & when we got to the airport I grabbed my bags and we walked in and I checked in my bags & noticed Y/N was squeezing my hand not wanting to let go while we walked to the gate, I hated seeing her look so sad everytime I was leaving for a work trip. I’m just glad Y/N wanted to take me to the airport today, I was happy she was walking me to my gate, I hate walking in an airport alone and it’s harder saying goodbye at home. I held her hand on our way to the gate and we’d look at each other every so often and I almost cried knowing I was leaving her again. Y/N saw a cafe on the way and said “wanna grab a snack before we get your gate love?” I did feel kinda hungry so I smiled and said “good idea darling, let’s eat something. We both bought a sandwich and a drink and sat down to eat and I told her what the plan was for Loki and she would smile at me the whole time while I talked and I loved how she was always a great listener. Y/N finished eating and said “I’m so excited to see the new season Tom it sounds amazing, I couldn’t be more proud of you.” I kissed her hand and said “Y/N you are so sweet this is why I love you, we should get walking again.” Y/N nodded and handed me my backpack and I held her hand again on the way to the gate.

~Y/N’s POV~

We got to the gate and Tom took off his carry on backpack off his shoulders and said “darling here come closer please.” I walked closer to Tom and he put his arm around me for a hug and I smiled putting my arms around him & I started crying a bit in his chest and Tom lifted my chin up so I’d look at him and he wiped away my tears and said “Y/N please don’t cry my love, I promise I won’t be gone too long ok? I love you so much and I love that you came to see me off please don’t cry because if you do, I won’t want to leave you.” I laughed a bit while wiping my face and said “ok ok, I’m sorry Tom. I just love you so much and I hate being apart from you it’s hard but I hope you have fun I’m so excited for you getting to play Loki again.”

Tom smiled and said “I love you so much, and I promise I’ll be home soon ok? I will walk out and give you the biggest hug, nothing will keep me from coming back to you.”

Tom pulled me closer and leaned in to kiss me and we heard the annoucement for his flight and I said “ time to go, oh! One more thing I may have snuck something into your suitcase for you, to remind you of me.” Tom smiled pulling me in for one last kiss and said “you are adorable Y/N, I have to go now sadly but I will be back I promise you.” I nodded and said “I know you will Tom, go. I’ll be here when you come home, fly safe I love you.” He walked down to the plane waving to me and I watched his plane take off doing my best not to cry though I already missed him a lot but I knew he would be home again soon.

Hey lovelies! I thought I’d write a Tom Hiddleston xreader fan fic since I had been writing more Loki fics 😊 I thought the idea for this one was cute, I hope you enjoy 💚🤍🤗xx

[just-orbiting-you]

on twitter tae solos and even tkkers are literally spiraling and going crazy about the fact that jikook were setting boundaries and telling him that ays is THEIR show and they let him come. it’s kind of insane to see all these tweets but really goes to show how much they coddle tae. how did you interpret the way jikook said it was their show at the japanese restaurant? did u think it was a joke? i honestly took it as a joke when i first watched the ep but rewatching it still obviously feels like they were joking but now i feel like there was some hard truth to what they were saying, we all know jikook have a bluntness in their sarcasm that to eachother can be funny but everytime they joked about him being a guest i can feel the animosity. it honestly made me feel bad for them cause i get hes a close friend and band mate but imagine all of the sudden the plans u had for two changed to three because of a group schedule chat, they didn’t even tell him or the other members themselves lol. anyways this ep felt more light and fun with jikook. i know tae was tired and a little sick but the way he stepped back multiple times to let them be showed he also saw how his presence caused a bit of tension. sorry for the long ask, don’t know if ur tired of talking about this situation lol but i wanted to hear ur thoughts!

hey! thanks for your ask! no worries about the length!! i apologize this ended up being so long 💀💀.

this ties into a larger issue with fans of bts these days, where finding slight issue with a member’s behavior, etc. or in this case, stating literal fact opens the door for defensive stans. you’re right, it is coddling and they were coddling him a month ago with his instagram post. tae stans to me are some of the loudest, most defensive, and will never really see the fault in their rhetoric. that thread someone made saying “tae being the ‘uninvited’ guest” and it was all the ways they deliberately accommodated him and deliberately gave him the spotlight. people are coping hard.

i’d like to compare this situation to jungkook’s second suchwita episode, which was shot around the same time and has a very similar vibe. in this episode, taehyung randomly shows up to their shoot after seeing that jungkook was filming that day from the infamous group chat. jungkook’s immediate reaction was “we are doing a shoot, could you please leave?” which ended in a fit of giggles. yoongi and jungkook make a few comments about how he showed up to just eat their prepared meal and when asked to address army in the video, tae just does a thumbs up. jungkook goes “that wasn’t a sentence,” and tae ends up saying the generic 2025 stuff. he makes small reactionary comments, talks over the other two, but basically just sits, listens to their conversation, and mindlessly eats. where i feel like jimin and hobi were integrated as a part of the larger conversation in taemin and jin’s episodes respectively, (probably because they were planned appearances) tae presents as a slightly awkward presence in the video.

i bring this up to say, while the stakes weren’t as high as are you sure, jungkook said a similar comment which while serious in tone as their omakase comments, ended up being in jest. jungkook nor yoongi stopped the shoot to kick him out. i also think there’s a “well he’s our bandmate…” at play here. like they’re not going to kick out taehyung, it’s taehyung, you know. while his presence may have been slightly distracting, yoongi and jungkook still were able to have their conversation and finish the shoot.

i personally think are you sure was bigger offense, purely because this was a trip with preparation, flights, planning and crews involved. and while many have been saying “jimin and jungkook were seemingly happy to have them there and let it happen,” yes they did. again, it’s taehyung, how could they refuse him, especially if he played a pity card of “why am i being left out of this?”

i haven’t seen this problem with any other member’s behavior during chapter 2, where that member overstays his welcome during another member’s schedule. but tae has a unique way of making me say “why is he here, what purpose does his presence serve?” and i think to him, everything is silly and informal, since these are his members. but he doesn’t have the foresight or awareness to think “well what am i intruding into? why do i feel entitled to be here?” it’s a matter of respect.

hence why i think they made the comments that they did. they accommodated him, made arrangements with the crew to change the plan in 48 hours, yet he turns around to say “i shouldn’t have come here” or “why didn’t another member show up” as if their efforts for him were worthless and he was now running the show to invite whoever. everyone of these conversations ends in a lighthearted tone, just like jungkook’s suchwita comment. but i think they effectively put their foot down with the omakase conversation and they had to. while “i shouldn’t have come here” ends in laughs and jokes, i don’t think jikook particularly liked that comment if they both were saying “go home then!”

if tae didn’t get the memo with that reaction, he got it from jikook at the omakase restaurant, he should at least be grateful instead of making flippant comments. i don’t know what the circumstances were on why he wasn’t debriefed or had any assumption about why this shoot was taking place, because he really does not have the awareness on that first day. jikook did something nice for him but they know how tae is. he expressed feeling left out initially, then they poke fun at him being the “guest looking for attention.”

so tldr, i think we can chock the comments up to playful ribbing with a touch of passive aggression, especially from jungkook. even if they felt like they had to, jikook still let him come and seemingly had fun with him, so i don’t think they have it in them to be outright angry or upset on camera. but their persistent small comments throughout the ep do tell me that there might be a touch of exasperation with him working his way into their plans.

Something of a Christmas Ask Incoming (Might not be entirely related to The Holiday but hey better now than never)

As Kaiju Film Buff who practices her directing skills with her camcorder and phone camera, Meredith one day gets a project from her Film Class to make a short film of any choosing and any genre.

Only real requirements; Make it about 30 minutes long and it has to be a complete story

And so, FINALLY Meredith can make her own kaiju movie

Would she ask Chris, Jake, Mar’i and maybe a friend or two who are good at makeup and monster suits to aid her in this project?

@paladin-of-nerd-fandom65

Oh Jake, who's super head over heels for Meredith, would already be the one calling her first to offer a helping hand after hearing from Thara about her big project lol

Meredith is surprised that he even knew about it before she could actually ask and tell him about it herself, but she's happy anyways to hear how helpful he wants to be and accepts his offer. Meredith then asks Thara to be one of her actors and also asks Chris if he could be the monster for her mini movie and they both fortunately say yes

The busy day soon arrives and the whole group, including Mar'i who was very curious to see how everything is done, are at her door ready to get to work

Chris loves finding ways to be interacting with Thara everytime, so he offers to do her makeup before filming while everyone else is still busy setting everything up, and she lets him

He doesn't admit that he's never done makeup for anyone or even himself before though, so as he's trying his best, Mar'i, who's watching him, can't help but get really annoyed at the very amateur way Chris is applying it on Thara and feels the strong need to step in and take over before he ruins it all any further than he already did. He gets a little embarrassed when she moves him out of the way and takes the supplies from his hands and tries to argue with her that he was doing just fine, which gets Mar'i to respond with "Chris, I saw how you were working on her face and I can't lie, all of the mistakes you were making were just all very terrifying to witness. I actually deal with this all the time, so I'm an expert on it. Plus, my close Uncle is a complete professional artist, so I totally know exactly what I'm doing." Which gets him to be quiet in defeat and gets a small giggle out of Thara as well

A little bit later, Meredith and Jake help Chris fit into his monster costume, making sure he's all very comfortable and is able to breath properly, which he can. Jake, Thara and Chris then read and try to memorize all of their respective lines on the script the best that they can. Meredith and Mar'i let them know that if they forget any of it by mistake while acting, they'll make sure to remind them what it was

After getting everyone and everything prepared, they all went outside and got to recording, having a blast acting everything out together. Sometimes they accidentally broke character while on the little set, bursting with laughter if they got too nervous or made a mistake in what they did or couldn't take moment in a scene seriously enough. Most times it was even contagious enough to get a few good laughs out of both Mar'i and Meredith too as well while watching everything

It took a lot of hours in the day for them to get it all done, but they successfully did it. Jake later offered to sit down with Meredith in her kitchen and help her edit all the footage together, which she was very grateful for. Chris took off his suit and was left in sweat from being in it all day, Thara was pretty sleepy from doing all of those many scenes and Mar'i was busy putting all the equipment and makeup away wherever Meredith told her it belonged

Meredith noticed this and could see that it was getting pretty late by now after taking just one good look at the clock on the wall and decided they should just have a sleepover for the night and review the film together, calling it a movie night for them all. Everybody liked the sound of that and called their parents to let them know that they were staying over at her place. Chris got use the shower after getting Meredith's permission and Mar'i and Thara got to relax on the couch together after cleaning up everything.

After ordering pizza, getting comfortable in the living room together, once the homemade film was put on to watch, everyone could see that all the put in effort from every single one of them was all very worth it in the end

They all enjoyed every bit of it and fell asleep once it was finally over. Mar'i was the only one left awake though and turned the tv off to bring peaceful silence for everyones ears. She grabbed a couple of spare blanket for herself that she remembered Meredith telling her about in case if she wanted anymore and went to go place on her friends. Once she got to Meredith and Jake who were laying next to one another though, she saw them both with peaceful smiles on their faces and their hands placed on top of eachothers too while they were still asleep, which caused her to giggle to herself since it was a pretty cute moment. She took a quick, nice, clear picture of them with her phone and soon went to sleep after that

She was so showing it to Jake in the morning after leaving back home so that she could see the hilarious, flustered expression on her dear little brothers face

Meredith ended up getting an A on her project and she was super joyed about it. She later told everyone while chatting on her laptop with them and thanked them a for their big help, letting them all know that she appreciated it very much. They later went out for ice cream and pizza that day to celebrate together and had such a great time!

Rather Die | Chapter 11

rating: pg-13, talks of pregnancy, language

word count: 1986

cross posted on wattpad

master list

————————————————————————

“And cut! That's a wrap! Thank you everyone!" Anna calls out as the movie just shot their last scene. A very wet, steamy, rain kiss.

Austin high fives Vic, playing it cool. Although, he'd love to hug her instead, or do more. He hasn't been able to get her out of his mind the past couple weeks since their hook up.

Regret has been killing him. He hates what he did to her, falling for Eliana's alluring ways. He wishes he hadn't fucked up. Victoria would be his if he didn't.

He can't help but to bask her sexual beauty at the moment. Her wet tee, clinging in all the right places.

Austin starts to head to his trailer to get those thoughts out of his head.

"Hey, Butler!" Vic calls out to him. "See you at you at the wrap party?"

He's surprised she'd ask him such a thing, as he knows she's been dying to get filming over with so they'd never have to see each other again. Well, at least for a while until promos start.

"Uh, yeah! I'll be there."

"Cool. See you then!"

"Why'd you ask if he was going?" Mila questions Victoria.

"I wanted to know if my night would be more entertaining. If he's there, I get to watch him suffer in jealousy one last time because he'll see me & Ashton together."

"You're crazy, Vic."

"I know. But he's made my life a living hell, so."

Little does she know, Austin's been keeping up on the asshole act to hide his true feelings towards her, and he now finds it as a turn on to see her get all worked up & frustrated. So, lately, making her life a living hell has really been a benefit for him.

At the wrap party, drinks are being had, music is blaring through the speakers. It's almost as if it was the cast party all over again, but this time it was a different club.

Austin sits in the corner, sipping on an old fashioned as he watches Victoria & Ashton dance the same way he & Victoria danced the night things fell apart.

"Hey handsome." Eliana comes up & sits next to him.

"What are you doing here, Eli?" he asks, annoyed.

"You know I'd never miss a good party. And I knew you'd be here."

"Yep. I'm here. Probably going to leave soon though."

"Awe why? The party just started."

"Yeah, well, I don't really enjoy watching the girl I like dance with her boyfriend, so."

"Victoria?"

"Yeah."

"You like her again? You're over me?"

"Honestly...I don't think I ever stopped liking her deep down. I really regret kissing you that night, you know."

"How could you regret kissing me? I'm the best you've ever had, Austin."

"Don't be so sure of yourself, Eliana."

"So, Im not the best you've ever had?"

"Bingo. Sorry."

"Let me prove it to you. I still want you, Austin."

"No thanks, I'm good."

Eliana leans in closer to him, staring to nibble on his ear how he likes. "Cmon, Aus. I know you want-

"No, Eliana. Stop." he cuts her off. "I told you we were over, like a million times. It's not happening. You showed me your true colors that day I saw you making out with that rando. Vic was right about you & I really wish I would have listened to her." Austin gets up & starts heading out.

"Wait! Austin! Please! One more chance!" Eliana calls out.

Austin just ignores her & continues on.

Victoria notices that he's leaving. She starts to feel accomplished, thinking she was making him jealous enough to leave, but then she spots Eliana. She knew instantly she was the reason why Austin left.

"Thanks for making Austin leave! I was trying to win him back!" Eliana yells at Vic over the loud music.

"Yeah, okay. I'm sure he left because of you, because he was tired of listening to your bullshit. He told you plenty of times you guys were done for." Victoria says.

"No, he didn't, but okay."

"He did, I was there, everytime you came to set begging him to take you back."

"You're so annoying." Eliana says, storming off.

"Guess you haven't met yourself then!" Vic shouts to her.

Ashton whispers into her ear, "Wanna get out of here?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

A few weeks have passed & Victoria feels like a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders not having to deal with Austin or Eliana. She hasn't seen or spoken to them since the wrap party.

Victoria's been happy to put the past behind her & get a new start. She's been looking for more opportunities now that she's been done with filming, and has had some time off to herself & to enjoy her new official boyfriend.

Ashton took her on a date to Dave & Busters, a place where a part of their first date took place. While Victoria was in the bathroom, Ashton had one a little teddy bear holding a heart out of a crane machine. When she came back, he asked her to be his. It was a cheesy moment, but Vic absolutely loved it.

"Hey, are you gonna ever stop looking for jobs today?" Mila asks Victoria, as she's been sitting at the counter literally all day on her laptop.

"Um, yeah. I'm about to right now actually. I'm starting to feel nauseous from looking at the screen too much." Vic responds.

"Oof, yeah. You're looking kind of green. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will."

Before she knew it, Vic was running to the bathroom to throw up.

"Do you feel better now?" Mila asks as Vic comes out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, a little bit. I think I'll be fine."

A couple days later

"Fuck." Vic mutters to herself as she sits on the floor in front of the toilet.

She gets herself up from the floor and finds Mila in the kitchen making herself a bagel.

"Mila?.."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I, um...fuck." Vic starts to form tears in her eyes. "I think I might be pregnant."

"You what?" Mila responds with a full bite of her bagel in her mouth.

"I think I might be pregnant, which would be insane because I've always been told at my gyno check ups that I may not be able to conceive because of how fucked up my cycles are & practically being infertile." she rambles, being nervous.

"Okay, slow down. Why do you think you are?"

"I just threw up again, and it like came out of nowhere. I don't know what else it could be. I've been feeling fine, it's not a constant thing like if I had food poisoning."

"I have a couple tests in the bathroom if you want to use them. I had a pregnancy scare a few months ago and impulsively bought like three boxes."

"Okay, yeah, I'll do that. But if I am...I don't know who the father is. Like it could be Austin from our one time or Ashton's."

"Have you told Ashton about that time with Austin like I've been saying you should?"

"No, I havent. I just haven't been able to find the right way to tell him."

"Well, you need to. Especially if you're pregnant & he could possibly be the father, or if you're pregnant with another man's baby."

"I know, I know. And if I am...I think I want to keep it. Like it would be a miracle if I am with the amount of times I've been told it would be hard for me to get pregnant."

"I get that. And no matter what, I'm here for you every step of the way."

"Thanks, Mila. I appreciate it. I'm gonna go take those tests since I have to pee anyways."

"Okay. Do you want to look at them together?"

"Yeah. I cant do this alone."

"Okay. Go pee, and I'll be right there."

Victoria does her business & takes the tests.

"This is the longest three minutes of my life." Vic complains.

"Thirty more seconds." Mila says looking at her timer.

When the seconds were up, Victoria took a deep breath & closed her eyes before looking at the tests.

Both tests read positive.

"Shit." Vic says to herself.

Mila reads the tests herself, "Oh my god."

"Now I really have to tell Ashton, huh?"

"Mhm. You need to tell Austin too."

"Fuck. I do, because I'm gonna have to get a paternity test."

"Are you for sure it could be Austin's?"

"Well, when I looked up how long it takes for early symptoms to start, it lines up with that time. I have this gut feeling too that it's his."

"Why?"

"Because in the heat of the moment, and not being prepared, Austin & I didn't use protection, but me and Ashton have been. Just incase, even though it would be unlikely I could get pregnant. But here we are."

"Oh damn. Who are you telling first?"

"I don't know. Austin I guess. He'd be easier to tell. I don't know."

Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.

"I'll go see who it is." Mila says.

She goes out into the main part of the apartment and answers the door.

"Oh, hi Ash! I didn't know you were coming over."

"Hey, Mila. Yeah, I wanted to surprise Vic with some Starbucks. I got you one too. Where is she?" Ashton asks.

"Aw, that's so sweet! Thanks! She's in the bathroom. I'll let her know you're here."

Mila let's Ashton in and goes back to the bathroom.

"Hey, Ashton's here. I think that's who you're telling first."

"Oh god. No time to prepare, but okay."

"I'm here if you need me. You know that."

"I know."

They both walk out into the kitchen.

"Hey! There's my girl! How are you?" Ashton asks.

Tears start streaming down Victoria's face. "Um, can we talk?"

"Yeah, of course. What's wrong?"

They go into the living area & have a seat on the couch.

"I've been meaning to tell you this for awhile now, because you deserve to know, but I haven't been able to bring myself to tell you, but I really need to tell you now."

"What is it, Vic?"

"A few weeks ago, before we made it official, and while I was still filming....Austin & I, we....we hooked up. It was a total mistake, and it shouldn't have happened, but it did, and I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry it happened & I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." Vic just sobs as she gets her words out.

"Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm glad you told me sooner than later. Things happen, and we weren't together yet. It's okay, really."

"But it's not..." she cries more, struggling to get the rest out. "I'm pregnant. And it could be his, or it could be yours."

Ashton covers his mouth in shock.

"I'm so sorry." Victoria says. "If you don't want anything to do with me, or the baby, I get it."

"Does Austin know?" he asks.

"No. I just found out right before you came."

"And you want to keep the baby? I mean, I'm sure you do, right? With your issues, I'm sure you're surprised this even happened."

"Yeah, I do. Whethers it's yours, or his. I just don't want this to change anything between us. I do really like you, Ash. Shit, I love you & I don't want to lose you over this."

"You're not going to lose me, Vic. I love you too. We'll get through this no matter what happens, alright?"

"Okay. Thank you for being so amazing, and understanding."

"Of course. Like I said, things happen. It's okay."

He reaches over & kisses the top of her head.

Now that the hard part is over, the next step is to tell Austin. We can only hope he'll take the news just as well as Ashton did.

Mutant mayhem raph!!

This is so fucking long. Under the cut! ^_^

(Link to askgame)

My first impression: “oh look, new iteration of TMNT. Probably won't get too attached to it, but I'll still watch the film :) Raph looks cool.”

My impression now: ... Where do I even fucking start? This is, without a doubt, my favorite version of Raphael for SOOO many reasons. As much as I love (and I mean fucking love) joking about his anger issues and violence, the number 1 thing I love about Raph is how he canonically never uses violence against his brothers and instead chooses to channel all that anger into his enemies. It's subtle but you can just see how much Raph hates the thought of being a monster; his face dropping when his brother said “Sure he's a big angry monster but he saved the city" PAINS ME EVERYTIME... and the way he clearly wanted them to stop talking about it?? Another thing I really love about Raph specifically is the parallel him and Splinter's dynamic have with Bebop Rocksteady and Superfly's. Something something "This guys been making me angry my entire life! I think he's the reason we're so angry!" IT FUCKS ME UP EVERYTIME. EVERY GODDAMN TIME. AND THE WAY HE LOVES AND CARES FOR HIS BROTHERS HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HE LOVES THOSE GUYS SO MUCH AND EVEN TOOK A MOMENT TO SAY HE WAS GLAD THEIR FACES WERE THE LAST ONES HE'D GET TO SEE BEFORE HE DIED!!!!! RAPHAEL I LOVE YOU

Favorite thing about that character: HELP ME I ANSWERED THIS IN THE PREVIOUS THING AHAGAH

Least favorite thing: “Hey Leo, how does it feel to have your head so far up dad's butt?”

Favorite line/scene: “I dream about fighting every night! (You have a rage problem, Raph) ITS NOT A PROBLEM!!!!” AND THEN PROCEEDS TO FALL ON HIS ASS. I have so many scenes of his I love how do you expect me to choose only one????? I'm just listing this off because that was the only food I had for months while waiting for the movie to come out.

Favorite interaction that character has with another: I'mmm insanely bias towards Leo and Raph interactions. “What the heck man? I said go left!" "I GOT HIM 😡😡😡" and also when Raph said "Wait April are you puke girl? 😆😲" And Leo's ass was fucking growling at him basically saying don't talk to my girl that way, despite the fact he made fun of her first. what is wrong with these boys. The twins ever.... To me.

A character I wish that character would interact with more: I would love 1929299 interactions of Raph with all of his brothers that would be very nice. Aside from his brothers, I think him and April's duo would be hilarious.

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of them: SUSIE DELTARUNE.

A headcanon about that character: He was called Raphie when he was younger by his family until he grew out of that name. They still sometimes call him Raphie just to make him mad and/or tease him.

A song that reminds me of that character: Imma Kill You

An unpopular opinion about this character: Shrugs.

Favorite picture:

4. Weird feeling

(Sorry this is small it was rushed and also I didn't pre read so sorry for mistakes please enjoy)

TXT has just arrived at the award show. Venom was nervous but his members where there for him.

They took some pictures on the carpet with the other groups.

Backstage venom finds some members of his groups filming tiktoks with other idols.

Specifically he is looking at yeonjun who is filming with Giselle and karina from aespa.

They are trying to find one of the other members to film a tiktok with.

Yeonjun who made eye contact with him smirked and called his name. Giselle and karina looked at venom and smiled and waved at him to come.

As venom walked to them he was nervous and you can tell one his face. Venom got there and the two members of aespa teaching the dance. Giselle was teaching yeonjun and karina was teaching venom.

Venom was so nervous he couldn't get the Dance. So yeonjun give a idea that he and Giselle should do it alone and karina and venom alone. As venom watches yeonjun doing the challenge karina comes and says " hey you ready to do the dance?"

" Um yeah yeah i- i ..am ready ". As karina and venom finally do the challenge venom keeps looking at karina. After they are done with aespa's challenge it is time for txt's challenge. Venom shows the dance to karina and teaches her. Karina couldn't get one step of the dance right so venom comes closer to fix her position she suddenly feels something in her stomach. As for venom you could say the same thing he was very nervous to be this close to her. After fixing her position they do one more time the entire dance as practice then they do the challenge. Karina was confused why she had that feeling and why she was a little upset that venom wasn't that close to her.

All the idols sit down for the award show waiting for it to start. TXT and aespa were sat together. All idols talked with each other even txt and aespa . Venom was quiet like always alot is in his head. He also didn't notice how karina stared at him with heart eyes.

The award show had started and txt was performing. Everytime venom was showed on the screen the audience went wild even idols. Venom had a little accident that nobody notices but his shirt was showing his abs and everyone went wild. After they performed they went back to there sits and aespa told them they did great.

The txt members of course made fun of venom for his ripped shirt. The txt members haven't noticed how aespa looked stared at venom.

Txt had received a award and they got up to received it and give a speech. Venom was hiding behind his members because of his shirt. But he forgot beomgyu existed.

Beomgyu forced venom to give a speech with his ripped shirt.

After the award show had ended all idols went back to there cars again. Giselle decided to be bold and go up to venom and ask his number.

JUST FISNISHE DWTACHING FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS FILM AT CINEMA. BOY

IM SO GIDDY

SPOILERS OF COURSE!!!

IM so glad [atleast in my country] its classified as thriller it does wonders because its just clearly not horror. Its like Goofy 80s horror film and I love it. It still got some mystery [well to people who already know the game snot that much but theres still some sliver of it]. Idk i cant classify it as any genre

BUT FUCK IT I HAD FUN!!!! THATS WHAT I HOPED FOR!!!

The beggining and end were the best, middle atill was okay for me still fun :] I didnt expect Cute moments with the animatronics it was so goofy and I dig it <4

And!!! Im glad that vanessa wasnt just the love interest! I dont think it even was implied that either mike or vannessa fell in love with eachother actually. Hell for me, who knows most of the fnaf story, she was most of the mystery! Sure her plot was predictable but I think it DID make sense in the movie so its really enough for me. Tho she really has a lot going on and it would have been nice to see more of her past! Or to see that in the future?

Also its so funny to me how the plot with jane ended with her just getting fucking killed lmao

AND IM SO SO GLAD WILLIAM DYING IN SPRINGLOCKS HAPPENED. I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE IT. SURE IT WASNT WOAH SO GORY BUT IT WAS THERE AND THE PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD IMO!

also hehe william really didnt give a fuck about anyone I dig that actually

Also all the references/easter eggs were fun!!

Also lmao when I realized that waiter guy was matpat. I whezeed.hes here

Love how our hate for baloon boy got acknowledged as a gag

AND WHEN THE CREDITS ROLLED. THEY PLAYED THE FIRST FNAF FAN SONG. BOY SO MANY OF US IN THE CINEMA CHEERED

To conclude: as a fnaf fan I had fun!!! Really I think my expectations have been met I didnt expect a stellar film and yeah its no that but I had fun!!

Objectively? Yeah of course its not a great thriller. Average I would say. The plot is still holding together but no tense atmosphere is really there. Characters were fun, not woah complex but fun and acting was neat! I quite enjoyed the soundtrack of this film :] a lot of 'emotional' moments didnt hit it for me but hey im still glad mike and Abby are happy

Honestly I just think there isnt exactly a good film genre for this film? Maybe im just not knowledgable enough? But it doesnt feel right to say its thriller. And its also not right to say its comedy for me

Its just. A fun movie. Nothing stellar but fun and I wasnt bored!

Okay no this si not gonna be exactly related to the movie but

IM FUCKING SERIOUS WHEN I SAY I FUCKING LOST FEEL IN MY FINGER NERVES AFTER CLAPPING AT THE SPRINGLOCKS SCENE WHEN WILLIAM AFTON SAID HIS FUCKING THING. EVERYONE WAS CLAPPING AND CHEERING AT THAT POINT TOO I THINK

Just in general love how we all in that cinema at some points had the same reactions dhdhds

Everytime afton showed up I was laughing in mischief

It was awesome to watch it on a premiere day :]
