#and i'm like ahhhhhhhh why

[youremyonlyhope]

I'm not a "new musical theatre style music" person. Never have been.

Even when I was doing voice lessons, I'd steer towards the golden age or jazzy musical theatre songs. My voice teacher would have to drag me kicking and screaming towards adding anything new musical theatre to my repertoire. For a while, the most modern song in my book was I Know The Truth from Aida, and I wouldn't count that as new musical theatre style since I mean more the Pasek&Paul or Joe Iconis type.

And now I have an audition coming up for a small production of a show in that style and I'm supposed to sing a song in a similar style. And I'm looking at all my sheet music like... let me do some Cole Porter... or Gershwin... at least Sondheim please...

we just started our first pharmacology class and I am so so in love with it! I am have never been so excited to learn anything! in any other course I've taken! ever! I'm in my element rn fr eeeeeeeeeee :)

[that-was-anticlimactic]

actually, no. you know what? i am so sick of this “marinette is just a friend” bs. okay. cool. adrien said she was just a friend a few times. whatever. it’s not that big of a deal and everyone in the mlb fandom like. hyperfixates on that??? idc if it’s a “just a joke” because it’s utterly ridiculous at this point. i have literally seen people go on heated rants about how stupid or clueless adrien was during the umbrella scene because he called mari just a friend. are you kidding me??? y’all are really going to take away that moment for him? he just made like his first ever friend in nino and when he called her a friend, he looked so excited because this boy has only ever had one friend before. of course he’s going to call mari just a friend because he just met her and the only time she’s actually spoken to him outside of the suit at this point is to yell at him like... y’all...

and this is not me hating on mari because i love her so so so much. i just hate how passionate and heated fans get about this. i mean... y’all... adrien didn’t even think mari liked him??? like, in puppeteer two, he is literally upset because he came to the conclusion that mari hates him. also, of course he’s not like in love with or crushing on her when she’s barely spoken actual sentences to him! again, not me hating on mari and her nerves because like i get it, it’s hard. and also this is like adrien’s first time interacting with people as peers, so 1. of course romance is not his main priority 2. he doesn’t understand social cues or situations very well At All which is made abundantly clear in the show 3. i don’t... i don’t think adrien knows what affection is??? i mean, he’s definitely learned some over the course of the show, but he’s used to a neglectful / abusive father, his stoic assistant, his bodyguard who doesn’t really talk like at all, chloé being chloé, and hoards of fans declaring that they’re in love with him, hanging all over him, acting like he’s a shiny thing rather than a person, etc... so like. how is adrien supposed to actually comprehend that mari likes him???

and okay no my last point: so so so sick of the double standard. i have seen countless people rant and rave and scream and shout about how stupid adrien is for not returning mari’s feelings or knowing he has a crush on her and then these same people will turn around and berate chat noir and say things like “gosh ladybug isn’t obligated to return his feelings:/” like... hELLO??? why is ladybug not obligated while adrien is??? it’s ridiculous and disgusting and i’m so so so tired of “just a friend” jokes on tumblr, in art, in fics, in youtube compilations... like... can’t we be normal about this? and i don’t mean normal as in “casually enjoy” i mean normal as in can we stop being so aggressive and harsh and hostile towards literal fourteen year olds my God they’re children they’re allowed to make mistakes and mess up and my God the way y’all talk about lila is disgusting, too like i hate her but i don’t want her tortured and killed??? and the way people characterize the classmates as physically and verbally assaulting mari because of lila??? like... my God they would never??? they would all honestly side with mari chameleon is a bad episode and is poorly written and everyone is out of character please use your critical thinking skills and understand that chat noir is not harassing ladybug anymore than mari may be harassing adrien (aka they are not harassing each other at all my God) and stop insulting and demonizing fourteen year olds so your otp can get together thanks

I've finally got a title for the fuckingngngn Godrick/Ghirahim fic I've been struggling to work on in forever! Spinning Straw Thread, or some variation thereof.

It's progress...!

[bean-pronounced-bawn]

I hate how often people point to equations as an explanation for what is very obviously a conceptual question. "Why does velocity increase when pressure decreases?" "Because Bernoulli's equation says they're inversely proportional." Thank you, we can all see that, that's not what they were fucking asking. Given a random equation, I can guarantee that anyone can plug in the numbers and figure out that V goes down when P goes up. That doesn't explain the physics of why that shit fucking happens.

It is well for you that Boo does not let me learn the bad words! - Ignore them, Boo. Let them gaze deep into their own abyss, and wonder just what it is they are trying to achieve.

stealth - A little to the left? But not so hard you make me giggle. - Boo...? Are you dancing down there, or...? - Hush! I am surprising Boo for his birthday! He is... uh... eh... how old do hamsters get...? - I am the night. A pity, then, that it is so bright out.

[me-writes-prompts]

:-"You left me. I have nothing to say now." Reuniting lovers angst prompts-:

(Umm yes? Obviously. You want angst. I'm giving you angst. Enjoy!!!!AHHHHHHHH I LOVE THESEEEEE😩😩)

By @me-writes-prompts

"Good to see you again, [surname]." (NOT THEIR GIVEN NAME OR THE NICKNAME THEY USED TO CALL THEM BUT THE DAMN SURNAME, SHIT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL)

“You know, you could’ve at least said a last goodbye.” They say accompanied by a sad humorless chuckle.

“Oh, hi. Didn’t expect to see you here.”

When they leave you and your friend’s the one who supported you. So, when they are back, your friend gets protective of you.

“Did you really think we could rebuild what we had? Rebuild us?”

"I need time to adjust to your existence again."

Those longing stares but not being able to do anything about it, because you don't want to repeat the same mistakes

Telling them to leave you alone, even though you just want to be in their arms

When they smile sadly at you, and you just have to physically restrain yourself from wanting to kiss them

"I'm sorry, I-" "Isn't it a little late for an apology?"

"We could've worked out, if only you didn't act like a jerk and left me."

"Please, I want to make up for what I did in the past. Just please."

"Can we...be more than this? I was an idiot for leaving you, but now I want to make this right. Make us right."

"It feels like...like I'm here with you, but I'm also not here because my present-self is still haunted by my past self, past you, past us."

Them trying to do everything and anything to make it up to you

"I need time, okay? I can't do this right now."

"You should've at least told me why you thought I was better without you. But, no, you just left, like I didn't matter to you. Like, it was only you that needed to make decisions for both of us."

"It's not fair. You're not fair. You can't just come back in my life and expect me to get all lovey-dovey with you. That's not how it works, that's not how life works."

Those accidental touches that have you flinching because it's just been so long since you've touched them. OR you crave touching them more.

"I was a fool for leaving you. But I hope this fool can get a second chance to love." They say with a sad smile, trying to hold in their tears/or maybe full on sobbing.

"It was a misunderstanding, and I get it now. I'm sorry, I should've talked to you." "A single sorry can't make it up, [name]." "I know, and I'm willing to do everything to earn your forgiveness."

Grian jumpscares Scar and Cub thinks Scar is wearing far too much clothing now

Scar: I want that core so ba--ahhhHHHHH, there's a pigeon! (calmer) Hello, Grian. (to Cub, conspiratorially) Dude, there's a pigeon, look. Cub: Where's a Grian? Scar: (whispering) There's a Grian right there. Cub: (overlapping) Oh, there he is! Oh man, I didn't even see him. Scar: He's so color coordinated with his outfit, do you see that? Cub: I do see that. Scar: Like, it is actually pretty color coordinated. Cub: He's got a good look to him. Scar: I don't have any look, look at me, I'm just...I look like I came out of, like a...dig site. Cub: D-dude, dude, okay. You've been like, over the course of the season, you've been putting on more and more layers of clothing. Scar: (laughs) So I'm getting more clothed? Cub: Yeah, yeah, it's been, like--you started with the short shorts, the booty shorts, right? Scar: (defensively) No, those were tactical khaki. Cub: T-shirt--they were definitely booty shorts, let's be real, c'mon. Scar: Those were tactical khaki pants that I could outrun a wilder-beast (a mispronunciation of wildebeest) at thirty-nine clicks a second. Cub: (dubiously) I-D-K about that, I-D-K about that. Scar: It has-- Cub: (overlapping) Well, anyway-- Scar: (overlapping) It has a stretch over two inches! Cub: (overlapping, disbelieving): You now have pants on, long sleeves, and a hat? (Scar snickers) Okay. Yeah. Mhm. Scar: "Grian's menacing." Why? What do you think, what is he doing? (sees Grian, inhales sharply) Oh! Jeez, oh, okay, yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, he's menacing! (Scar snickers) Cub: Yep.

[videogamelover99]

OKAY BUT LISTEN. LISTEN. I WANNA BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE PANELS FROM THIS SCENE CAUSE UH. This is like a powerpoint of the audience realizing the Sheep are not Chuuya's friends.

First off, baby? Baby. Also Chuuya's body language in the art is so, like, embarassed/self-conscious teen, except instead of the problem being hanging out with the wrong people in high school its...Mafia-level stakes. Anyway, Chuuya curling up while hiding from his "friends" immediately gives you a sense he is not the one in control.

Dazai-like expression who? Chuuya is putting on a mask so eerily similar...it gives us some great parallels.

Chuuya unnecessarily apologizing to Shirase? Yeah. Straight from the book.

Insane over Shirase's solid B+ gaslighting. I don't remember if these lines are from the book, but Shirase implying Chuuya's the one "acting like a tyrant" when he literally didn't do anything?? Except ask politely for favors? Throughout the whole conversation he's been the polar opposite. But hey, maybe Shirase's just projecting.

Haha, "somehow".

Nothing to add here except Shirase's body language in this is SO much better than the anime. In the anime he just acted mad and kinda hot-headed. Here he's smiling, acting friendly, giving off those "ofc I'm on your side Chuuya but you make it so hard for these made-up reasons" vibes. Shirase is opportunistic, manipulative, he believes he has control over Chuuya, and therefore his ability.

Of course, Dazai can tell immediately what Shirase is doing. That Shirase has more power over Chuuya than Chuuya does over any of the Sheep (which is once again reinforced by the body language. Shirase's arm over Chuuya's shoulders, swamping him. Being physically taller than Chuuya. Chuuya just kind of standing there, passively.

Also despite what Shirase seems to believe, he and the other Sheep are not one bit smarter than Chuuya. They're eagerly celebrating their victory when Chuuya can clearly tell this is some sort of plan on Dazai's part.

Dazai destroying any leverage they had over Chuuya and yet knowing there's some reason Chuuya is doing this anyway. Offering him a choice.

As I've said before (and it's more obvious than ever in the manga) Shirase's using it to gain Mafia territory by getting some of their members captured. I've stated this before, and we do get a confirmation:

The "self defense rule" is something Chuuya explicitly created. To not strike unless provoked. I have a lot of thoughts on this and why but that's not for this post.

And we have!! Dazai getting pissed off on Chuuya's behalf!! He's scary.

(Spoiler alert: they are not his friends.)

Ahhhh

Ahhhhhhhh

Guys I love this chapter. Because on one hand, Shirase, like the rest of the Sheep, have very legitimate fears. They're literally a bunch of kids that used to be preyed on by other organizations, and if Chuuya is not guaranteed to protect them, then...well...they're in horrible danger, really.

The problem is that Chuuya is ready to protect them. But they don't trust him, and it seems they never have. The whole thing is built on Shirase (and probably the others) holding some kind of emotional and social power over Chuuya, therefore guaranteeing their safety. But when that's not longer the case, well, they don't trust Chuuya to protect them. I'm curious how the manga is going to adapt Dazai's whole "meat" story later on because the issue isn't a selfish conflict of interest. The issue is trust, and the lack of it between Chuuya and the rest of the Sheep.

It's like the Sheep built their gang on high school clique rules, and didn't realize Chuuya's not just operating out of a sense of obligation and need to belong, but genuine care. Anyway, that's all I have to say. The art is beautiful.

[bbokicidal]

Omg okay so I'm totally back for more bc I just had a wild dream and I kind of totally need your beautiful brain to help me 😖

Hear me out... softish dom!felix and fingering with the phrase "move your fuckin hand"

AHHHHHHHH IM BARKING!!! HELLO!?!

Thank you so much!!

(If you dont do it that's totally fine too lol)

dom!Felix whose favorite past time is fingering you when you least expect it - like when he's on the couch with you, scrolling on his phone and just slipping two fingers into you without any hesitation. he likes hearing the way you whimper against his side and squirm, your shoulder constantly bumping his which already irritates him a little because why can't you just stay still?

dom!Felix who turns his full attention to you when he feels your fingers wrap around his wrist, his movements immediately stopping. he listens to you whine in protest, dark eyes boring into your own as you peek up in fear. "move. your fucking. hand."

dom!Felix who makes you come three times at LEAST before he finally lets you get up off of the couch, keeping you there even if he has to hold you down because he likes seeing you come undone until you're babbling and brainless. as you should be. <3

[justwinginglife]

Just imagine Soshiro calling you "Mrs. Hoshina" ahhhhhhhh I'm sCreaming

I am ALSO screaming. You know he'd hella abuse the fuck out of the name too.

"Mrs. Hoshina, can you pass me the salt?"

"Mrs. Hoshina, how was your day?"

"Mrs. Hoshina, I'm going to the bathroom now."

You'd laugh. "Soshiro- I don't need to know when you're going to the bathroom."

"I know, I just wanted a reason to call you Mrs. Hoshina again; I can't get enough of it."

"Whatever happened to babe?" You'd tease.

"There is no more 'babe', there is only Mrs. Hoshina."

Also idk if yall watch Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley, but why do I just picture that scene at the end of the movie where he just calls her Mrs. Darcy repeatedly in between kisses? Like "Mrs. Hoshina," kiss to the cheek, "Mrs. Hoshina," kiss to the other cheek, "Mrs. Hoshina," kiss to the forehead, "Mrs. Hoshina," kiss to the nose, and then finally, "Mrs. Hoshina," he gazes into your eyes before pressing his lips to yours for a passionate kiss.

AHH- I'm screaming all over again.
