#and its not cheesy at all and i love that

[tanoraqui]

what did you think about Galaxy Quest?

I really liked it! It totally lived up to its reputation as a love letter to Star Trek specifically and cheesy scifi shows & movies in general, and to the fans of all of the above. I felt seen and appreciated, and laughed a lot. I particularly enjoyed the meta-casting of Alan Rickman as Actor Who Is So Much More Professional Than Anyone Else Here, including his inevitable earnest recitation of the "You shall be avenged line" NOT as full of "real" vengeance (though he did promptly tackle an enemy alien), but as a benediction to the dying.

Honestly, I hope the live action Zelda ends up like Percy Jackson. (In more ways than one, hear me out here)

Like, it's in modern times, it's not yet another isekai esc video game adaptation, it IS the video game world, except its just advanced technologically and scientifically to the point we have in the real world. Let it have tropes and all that, but let it be FUN while staying true to the lore of the games.

One of my biggest fears about the movie is that it'll completely ignore the lore like Nintendo has been doing with the games themselves for the past 6 years. I hope it goes completely ham with the mythology. LET ME SEE THE HEROES ON OLD POTTERY IN MUSEUMS!!! LET THERE BE STATUES AND PAINTINGS!!! They could even make the games canon to the movie, like, the games are adaptations of that world's real mythology. (My wording doesn't make much sense sorry)

We need more of those cheesy heroes' journey esc movies. One of my favorite movies, The Kid Who Would Be King, is so freaking tropey, but I couldn't love it more. While watching it, I realized that if the Zelda movie was like that one, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Back on the Percy Jackson thing... I hope the movie is buns so they make a better, more in-depth show. Nintendo tends to over correct to criticism, especially when it comes to Zelda (at least from what I've seen), so if we complain enough it could be a Possibility. Or they may just never touch the idea ever again. Zelda is way better suited for a series than a movie, since the games are more story focused than Mario is. A runtime of 90 minutes couldn't really do the games justice. I want the movie to be campy and cringe, but I don't want it to rely too heavily on references to past games.

Idk how to end this rant, but it's been on my mind for a while. That damn movie is in my nightmares.

Continued:

Tommy couldn’t hide the eye roll if he tried, “Let’s be clear, I’m not doing anything Evan doesn’t want me to do, because Evan is an adult and he is allowed to vent, and you can fuck off, please and thank you.”

“I don’t want you to deck Eddie…” Buck admits, because he doesn’t. Everyone is grieving, everyone is hurting and maybe, maybe the quiz and pointing scoring wasn’t healthy, maybe his need to put everything in a little box didn’t help. 

He’s painfully aware that his habit of needing to fix things has never once actually fixed the people he loves.

He is an adult after all, just as much as the rest of them. 

They’re all a bit messed up. He just doesn’t know how to make them understand that he’s an adult like them. He’s not Buck 1.0 anymore. 

Emotional stuff is not Zach’s strongest point, but he wants to show he’s on Buck’s side so before he leaves its up to Tommy and Buck, and without overthinking it (because to be fair, there was a moment of thought.), Zach steps forward and claps a firm hand on Buck’s shoulder. “Remember, you’re a stud dude, like a top shelf stud, not this cheap import stuff.”

Buck ducks his head, hiding his face in his palms and Zach gives a puzzled look at Tommy who’s face says everything.

“What I mean, Bucky, is you’re a good man right?”

“Why didn’t you just say that?”

Zach shrugs, sheepish. “I dunno, man. It sounded too basic. Like one of those cheesy movies from the ancient nineties. ‘You’re a good man, Mr. Buckley. An honest man. Blah blah hashtag inspirational music, hashtag touching moment blah blah cue credits.’” He waves a hand vaguely. “But I do mean it. You’re solid, dude.”

After a beat, Zach clapped his hands together, “Right, well I got this hot babe on pornhub that’s doing things to a cucumber, so I should leave you two to it.”

Tommy sighs, before “You know as the wi-fi admin, I can see your web searches right?” It’s probably true, but Tommy doesn’t know how or want to know how, he just wants to tease the fuck out of Zach, who goes bright red.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. 

“Okay, I only looked at that for like, research purposes right, for uh, and… it doesn’t mean anything. Really, it was just proving I’m an ally and I have no problem with what you two do. It’s not weird… also, also, invasion of privacy, yeah, that too…”

“Zach, calm down, I haven’t looked, nor am I going to, just don’t download anything that will get the FBI interested in me and please, for the love of god, go away.”

Zach slinks out, mumbling under his breath. Buck watches him disappear around the corner and shakes his head slowly.

“Do we want to know what he’s been looking up?” Buck asks warily.

“Fuck no.” Tommy deadpans without missing a beat.

Another Zach WIP - Bucktommy after 8x17

Look, I can get Eddie, I can but that fight was, not good.

And as someone who's dealt with it, not easy.

And look I don't think the show intended for that, but it leaves a lot to off screen. And the gaslighting instead of saying sorry. Anyway, here's what I've been working on. With all its errors and rough edges

After that, Buck needed to escape, plain and simple. 

He had apologised to Eddie, tried to not over react, take it personally, but he needed.

He needed Tommy. 

So here he was, at almost eleven pm knocking on the door of Tommy’s house like some god damn asshole and he really hoped that Tommy would be awake. 

Was he self centered? Was he doing exactly what he was accused of? 

After all, Tommy was home, peacefully relaxing and Buck was going to ruin it.

The door opened and Zach was standing there in just his boxers, and a very noticeable tent.

“Zach?”

“Suuuppppp Broooo, how’s it hanging.” and Zach goes to dap him up which is uncomfortable because Zach doesn’t seem to care that his half hard member is only barely contained by the the flimsy boxers or that it’s pressing against Buck’s leg. 

“What are you doing here?” Buck asked, mainly why Zach was here so late and undressed as well. Don’t get Buck wrong; rationally, he knew nothing would happen, right? But after tonight, how could he be sure? 

What if his best friend hated him and his boyfriend was cheating on him?

“Umm, dog I was like trying to catch some ‘Z’s’ but then you were all up knocking on the door, so, you know… you know?”

That’s not an actual answer, but before Buck can say anything or question anything, or do anything Zach twists backwards and yells out “T-Bone, you’re booty call is here.” and then he turns back to Buck with easy grin and light shrug, “Come in, come in, the door step is no place for Evan Buckley to be left.”

The words are accidentally triggering, and Buck kinda mumbles, “I always make it all about me.” slipping out before he has a chance to stop it, and hopefully Zach is too drunk, tired or zoned out to catch them. 

But of course, he hears it, because he flings himself around (and everything bounces, from his pecs to well, his cock in his boxers) and sort of just stares at Buck like he’s an idiot. “Uh, what the fuck dude, why wouldn’t you make it all about you? No one else is, well apart from Tommy of course, because he’s like…” Zach doesn’t finish the sentence, instead clasping his hands together and pumping them together in a gesture Buck would assume is a fucking one but it doesn’t fit the tone Zach was going for.

Then again, maybe it does. It’s Zach.

“Evan? Is everything okay?” 

There is Tommy, who is wearing a tee shirt and track pants and ignoring everything else going on tonight, Buck wishes that it was the other way around because he currently sees way too much of Zach and not enough of Tommy. 

But also, he’s not in the mood.

Tommy looks tired, either from just getting up (which makes Buck feel guilty) or from putting up with Zach, because Tommy then growls “Zach, for the love of, can you get dressed?”

Zach rolls his shoulders, “We’re all dudes here.” but he looses the war and throws on a white T-shirt that says in orange letters ‘I’m sorry your sad, you can touch my dick if you like.’ and Buck can’t. He just can’t. 

“If you two want to watch ‘Disney+ and thrust, ‘I can put my headphones in.” Zach offers, like it's a favour. “It’s like ‘Netflix and chill,’ but Disney has this show called ‘Hot Shots,’ which is kind of like our job.”

On the verge of a breakdown, Buck exhales deeply, willing calm thoughts, “I didn’t come for that.” and what is he, a middle age prude? But saying he didn’t come for sex just feels weird. 

“Then why are you knocking on Tommy’s door at 11 pm if you didn’t desperately desire dick?” 

Tommy clears his throat, “Zach, shut up.”

“I’m just saying.”

“No one asked.”

“Buck’s here at 11 pm, on a work night and you expect me to believe.”

Buck claps his hands together, not aggressively but enough to pause the stupid conversation, “Right, how about, you explain please.” Looking at Tommy, “Why Zach is here? In his boxers,”

Tommy shakes his head, but also chuckles and looks put upon, “Zach got kicked out of his apartment for being a dick.”

“Hey!” Zach protests loudly, very much offended, “Clearly not my fault.”

Tommy turned back to Buck, “What can I do for you Evan?” 

Buck wants to deflect back onto Zach, because suddenly he feels like maybe he is making everything about him, he’s interrupted Tommy’s night, Eddie is grieving the loss of Bobby, maybe he’s made a mistake seeking out comfort. 

Maybe he does make everything about him.

“Evan?” Tommy prompts again.

“Uh, Eddie is staying with me.” Buck says, and Tommy looks, well like he’s trying to keep his jealously in check, “And, uh, we had a….” He doesn’t want to call it a fight, “A difference of uh, opinion, about a few things and I just need some space.”

“Chicks.” Zach says in agreement, “They’ll fuck with your head.”

It earns a look from Buck and Tommy, “Eddie is a dude.” Tommy answers, “And maybe Chicks wouldn’t fuck with your head if you could act like an adult.”

“Sad, that’s sad bro.” Zach replies, “So this dude is crashing at yours, and you have to leave? Why didn’t you kick his sad ass out?” 

“He’s got no where to go, and it’s not like that, he’s just upset because Bobby died…”

Zach frowns, looking over to Tommy, “Like, am I wrong or isn’t everyone at the 118 upset Bobby died?”

Tommy makes a ‘cut it out’ gesture to Zach, before walking up to Buck and wrapping him up in a hug and it’s stupid how good it feels, how safe he feels in Tommy’s arms. 

“I’ve just been trying so hard to be there for everyone.” Buck says into Tommy’s neck, “And to watch out for them, like I promised Bobby and he called me selfish and too fragile to handle the news he’s got a job in El Paso.”

Tommy rubs his back, in a soothing pattern, “You’re not selfish Buck, you’re like the most selfless person I know. A lil reckless sometimes, a lil impulsive but you have a heart of gold.”

So Buck lets Tommy lead him into the kitchen, where Tommy puts on some coffee and Buck tries to tell both sides of the story. He doesn’t want to paint Eddie as a villain, after everything Eddie has suffered and been through, the guilt of not being there, he’s just getting to the bit where Eddie grabbed his shoulder and flung his finger in Buck’s face when bloody Zach arrives in the kitchen.

“Yo, yo, yo, I have the solution”, and in his hands is a plastic bag that smells good, Zach grinning widely “Kebabs baby! These are shit.”

Tommy sighs, before looking at Buck with a serious look, grabbing his hand “Do not eat the kebabs.” How the Kebab shop is still open is beyond Tommy; the visible health code violations make him worry about what he can’t see. 

But, despite the warning Zach shoves one in front of Buck and Buck takes a messy bite before looking up at Tommy, mouth ful of Kebab and soft blue eyes “These are pretty good?”

“Told ya, better than sex.” Zach says around a mouthful of Kebab, and Tommy wants to make a dig, oh how he wants to make a dig but instead his concern is about Buck.

“Did you say Eddie grabbed you?”

Buck mumbles something, taking another bite of the Kebab as Zach naturally gets involved.

“Wait, so this dude is your bestie, crashing at your house and he laid hands on you. Oh no brother, Tommy go defend your man.”

Buck puts the kebab down, frustrated and tired, and mentally exhausted. “Look, I provoked him, he’s going through a lot…”

“So are you.” Tommy points out, before looking over at Zach, “Can you give us space.”

“I’m out boys, but honestly, if you don’t deck this Eddie dude, I’m mad disappointed in ya, T-Bone.”

Tommy couldn’t hide the eye roll if he tried, “Let’s be clear, I’m not doing anything Evan doesn’t want me to do, because Evan is an adult and he is allowed to vent, and you can fuck off, please and thank you.”

Cinta, not forcing herself upon Frey, is just such a genuine act of love of itself?

Like, she isn't acting like 'Hey! I haven't seen you in years and never thought I would again, come here, give mama a big hug'.

No, she fully understands how Frey must have felt and still is feeling. She's been hurt and created an image of her mother being an unloving monster for over 21 years. And Cinta never ever holds it against her. Because she knows.

And even at the scene where she is dying and about to fade away, she lets Frey come to her out of her own will and love for her. Even if Frey didn't, Cinta would have loved her daughter regardless, just as much as she always has. She even says so if Frey had chosen to go back to New York.

In the lost lullabies sidequest, does Frey want Cinta to be there for her and actually feels like she can let it all out without being hurt ever again.....

i stand accuuused of love in the first degree

[solardrop]

I want to comment more on ao3 but my constant reaction to a good fic is just to tell writer I am deeply in love with them.

[capricores]

pisces/virgo placements... it's about time you took care of yourself, too, ok?

you burn yourselves out allowing yourself to be pulled by so many people in all different directions. you exhaust all your resources and empty your cup - no, your entire well - to help those around you, even people you don't know. it's such a beautiful thing, and i know you genuinely love helping others, supporting people, seeing them thrive. it's such a beautiful trait! but you constantly end up neglecting yourself, right? you don't realize that you have permission to set aside time to care for you, to cater to your needs for once. you often feel like no one puts a drop in your cup, the favor is never returned - it's exhausting; you might think if you just keep giving your all it will come back; i understand. you will find the people that give the same energy back to you one day, but regardless of whether you've found those people yet, you need to learn to step aside and fill your own cup!

setting boundaries and saying no is the most important thing you will learn to do in this lifetime. it will not be easy for you, sometimes it will feel painful. but you cannot help the world if you're constantly drained and tired! you deserve to take care of yourself in the same way you do for others. be gentle to your kind soul, nourish yourself; do the things you love to do. learn to worry about others less, as hard as it is, and focus on yourself more.

something about titles for stories that sound utterly generic but it ends up being a masterpiece you binge read for two days straight. i love it so much. go read "my in laws are obsessed with me" on webtoon

rambling under the cut; some spoilers but nonspecific and vague

i fkn love so much the show not tell element in this story, it never feels like i'm being spoonfed information by having five speech bubbles in one panel. characters rarely say what they truly think or feel, atmosphere and mood are set solely by composition and art, some of the most heartbreaking and scared ive felt reading this manhwa had NO speech bubbles at all and there was no fancy effects or sfx you'd normally see in comics. the world goes on normally while you see a character in pain, full body wailing with grief at the ache of heartbreak. i teared up and i didnt even know what her voice sounded like, i didnt know what thoughts were going through her mind or the overwhelming bodily sensation of emotional pain that must've wrecked her. the build up of seeing an adaptable, grounded and sometimes cute and awkward person you've gotten to know over 50 ish chapters, only to then see her doubling over in pain and screaming, soundlessly to my ears. one of the most visceral experiences ive had recently.

i don't even care if i sound like im being biased or gassing this manhwa up btw Who Give A Shit bc not me!! i will talk about the things i like about bc i like them!

i love the mc / fl most of all because of how she's such... a neat vessel to the world. not spoiling it about her backstory and disposition and such, but the way she, on paper, sort of fits into that niche of people who don't know how much they matter to people around them. usually in regression / revenge stories with an insecure low self esteem FL, they start out really defensive, angsty / edgy, and then mellow out as they receive love. but our FL is reasonable, even-tempered and logical - that her emotional "insecurity" in regards to being tethered to people around her is mostly rooted in her own "seeing is believing" mentality and understanding, somewhat sympathetically, why people wouldn't / don't like her, and she doesn't really take it to heart.

what's funny is that even when people are subtly showing adoration and love for her, she doesn't know how to take it to heart, and she gets uncomfortable and awkward about it. not in a usually fluffy "this is so moving that i cant respond sensibly" way, the way most loved FLs usually pass by as a marker to Growth, but because it puts her in an awkward situation and she doesn't know what to do about it. she gets a little embarrassed but doesn't overreact, because she probably doesn't realise the depth of their affection and doesn't attribute it to herself directly, but rather by other people's kindness. multiple times she's been surprised at when someone (who didn't before but has now warmed up to her) responds kindly to her inquiries, and while i understand her surprise, it's still funny and a little sad to me that she was prepared to take it in stride if people STILL didn't like her after all the ways she's benefitted them.

in other words pereshati you're my queen and i love you. literally who would not love her. her ease and understanding at being distrusted makes her ironically easier to trust because she doesn't hold anything against you and understand that you need to form your own judgement, even if it doesn't turn out well for her. literally who is doing it like her. queen

I zone out when I was in the shower and had a full AU idea

Fred is a terminally ill cancer patients and has one last chance to "survive" and is a high risk surgery where they need a high compatible donor.

The first thought it's for George to help him, as they are twins and are basically genetically identical. However, George can't do the surgery because he just got out of a terrible accident that leaves him too weak for that type of surgery but good enough to continue his life as "normal" (he still has to take a bunch of different pills so his immune system is full of those different elements that can become a health hazard to Fred if they proceed with the surgery)

For plot convenience tbh, none of the other Weasleys are good enough candidates so they are desperate to save Fred. They are a family of fighters, they are not gonna let Fred just die. There is one family member that could save Fred and that is Percy.

Percy left the family after a heavy fight with Arthur were, after none stop rumours of Percy 'sleeping' his way into his position into the government and of making fun of his family with other high executives, accuse him of such acts. Percy offended and hurt, leaves, saying that his boss was right and that they are just keeping him from truely take off. That happened over 3 years ago and no one knew where Percy was.

So George, taking matters in his own hands, was determined to track down his older brother to save his twin.

Thanks that Ron and his bf Harry worked in the police force, they could see that Percy was still in the country and that he probably was still on England.

George disguised himself as a brunette and even got help to change his face (fake piercing, tattoos, marks) anything to make it more difficult to recognise. And after a long play were they manage to find Oliver Wood, who's Percy's friend, after jumping all around the place.

They are in a high class event, that shock George, and he sees Percy so he slowly approached him. All that pain from all those years were about to erup on him when he saw something, Percy looked happy?

Months goes by and George and Percy become friends (Percy did not know that he was talking with his brother) and George finally builts the courage to ask about his family. He finds out that Percy has a wife and two beautiful twin girls and that he is going great. But then, he starts taking about the Weasleys. George is prepare to hear awful things about them, but no. Percy is not saying nothing hurtful about them. In fact, it sounded like they were a great family. But then again, things take a turn and Percy, drunk because they were drinking at his house, opens up about the fight and George discovers much more.

How he felt ignore by everyone just for carrying the Weasley name, how he felt disconnected from them some one. It was too much to bare for George so he told who he actually was and Percy was astonished. He screams and begs for George to leave. He pushes him to the door but right before closing it George manage to speak and starts telling him all that has happened and that Fred is dying from cancer and that he needed his help.

That stops Perce for a second but then Audrey, his wife, asks him if everything is all right, and Percy gors back to himself and closed the door on Georges face.

George screams at his door and tells him that he knew that he was a coward all along. That he is selfish and a p*ssy and that he is ashamed to has a bastard as his brother.

A week goes by and George finds Percy at his door. He was about to close it but they start chatting and there is allt of frustration going on that lead to no where so Percy leaves again.

I don't know how it ends because like I said, I made this on the fucking spot as I showered and I'm trying to recall everything I was imagining. (I'm my head it was a beautiful animation with Die with a smile at the background) I didn't imagine a scene of Percy visiting Fred in secret and being caught by Charlie who was visiting to try to see if he was compatible (bc he couldn't do the test before) and Charlie decides that he is not gonna tell anyone and talk to Fred first.

I think that Fred should die at the end, to ass more salt to the wound so yeah. Hurt and no comfort, love that.

I want Fred to meet Percy's girls and be excited but passing away anyway. i want them to bond and then die or smt like that. Might write a fic about it.

Happy (late) Valentine's Day (version without text ↓ +description in tags)

dude im like fucking in love with the ithaca saga but am i the only one who like. didn’t fw the final lines of the last song

[quigzahhutt]

📓📓📓

Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about!

mmmmmm this one is a little different. still sargebon, but if u aren't a fan of omegaverse, this will not be for u !

me and a buddy of mine have been cooking up like. a relatively complex omegaverse concept bcuz I LOVEEE overthinking tropes and making them like. concrete and realistic (ish), but this is my own little concept that kind of eats me alive every night when I'm trying so sleep

so my own personal headcanon is that Alex is a very just. non-instinctual alpha. he doesn't really get the whole super alpha-y alphas who growl and rumble for their omegas and whatnot; Alex, for the most part, is just kinda normal. a lot of people assume he's a beta at first because he's just so subdued

because of this, a lot of omegas and pups don't really pay attention to him because there's just not a lot of instinctual drive to. it's not necessarily Alex's fault, and plus he doesn't really care. he has his friends and his family who all care about him and that's really all he needs; hes actually relatively comfortable like this. if anything, Alex would probably lose his mind if he was as instinct ridden and wild as other alphas tend to be

but then Logan rolls around, and Logan is an omega and that's like. whatever. Alex doesn't even think twice of it, and neither does Logan despite what everyone else is thinking. alpha-omega teammates have never really gone down well in the past and so a lot of people are talking about it; especially because Logan is so competent on his own, very much the opposite of Alex, who kind of just stays in his own lane

if people assume that Alex is a beta, then everyone assumes that Logan is an alpha, simply just because of how he looks and acts and how feisty he is. so, although the media is worried about them as a pairing, they're also excited because they're sort of peculiar. nobody really knows what to expect

and Alex is included in that, because he really doesn't understand what anyone means when they say that Logan is more like an alpha in his behavior, because to be honest, Logan has been nothing but a polite in every interaction they've had together. kind, even. funny, maybe. Alex doesn't know what to think

and then, well. turns out Logan is excited to be Alex's teammate, because maybe he can rile him up, get Alex acting like the alpha he is. and Alex knows that it's just a joke, that's just how Logan plays around and it's like, totally fine. it doesn't make Alex feel a little insane. especially not after he learns that Logan has always preferred hanging out with betas and other omegas because he doesn't like how overbearing alphas can be, always snarling and whatnot

and it gets worse when George points out that he's never seen Logan act this way around an alpha. y'know, comfortable, easy going. usually alphas would make him kind of anxious, a little bit on his toes. but around Alex, hes... normal. relaxed and joking around and hanging close to Alex totally fine

George waves it off like thats completely fine and not insane, chalking it up to the fact that oh, you're just not all that instinctual, is all and Alex tries to accept it but he just Can't

and then shit starts going downnn. because he starts feeling very different around Logan now. like... anxious, but not because of Logan. but it kind of is because of Logan? Alex then realizes with horror that the thing he's feeling is a protective instinct. for Logan

and Alex has never felt more humiliated in his life, but he also feels bad, because the reason Logan likes him so much is because Alex isn't so instinct-y, that he's not like other alphas, or whatever. and it sucks because Alex is really starting to cherish the dynamic they have going on

but on the flipside, you have Logan who is dealing with his own freak out about y'know, being so fond of an alpha, which is something he's never really had to deal with before. he doesn't know how to cope with that, or how to cope with the fact that Logan can feel his chest unfurl and his scent preen whenever Alex says something positive about him, or compliments him, or says something funny or assertive or affectionate or. oh god Logan is so fucked. his cool, unbothered persona is being totally destroyed as we speak

but of course, in very typical sargebon fashion, neither of them talk about this at all, and so they wind up stewing in these new feelings all on their own. and it starts kind of ruining their relationship, and Alex starts feeling awkward around Logan, and Logan starts feeling uncomfortable around Alex, but it's funny because both of them are so strongly desiring each other. and so now they're stuck

the turning point is sort of when someone points out that Alex's scent is sort of different now, or that Logan seems a lot more relaxed when he's around Alex, or that they both kind of lean into each other when they're together. and it forces them to realize like. oh. maybe I'm not the only one who's feeling this. they then also realize that oh, I'm not the only one being stupid about this, either

and so they do the typical romcon thing where they both try to talk at the same time and then interrupt each other and then argue about who talks first. and they both finally realize oh. I am so much more at ease right now than I've ever been. and it's because of you
