SEXUALITY + GENDER.

He is a demisexual, bisexual man (he/him).

SFW HEADCANONS.

He's very cocky, and he only tones it down with you.

He is actually a huge fan of reading books and tries to hide it from you, but that wouldn't work. Plus, he writes as well (sometimes writes music too)!

He dresses more feminine in private and is considered more feminine just because he does skincare and all that stuff.

Wears guyliner...(green flag)

He has a whole drawer of stupid ass ties, and he will let you choose one for him every now and then.

Very good at cooking, specifically; pasta, he will cook you it even if you didn't ask (unless you're allergic or something).

He is a dog person instead of a cat person, but wouldn't mind a cat because it makes him feel "richer" - but he also loves birds.

NFSW HEADCANONS.

BASICS:

DICK SIZE: He's not the biggest, but of course, don't tell him that. About 6.5 inches flaccid and 7 or 8 when erect.

IS HE LOUD?: No, he will let out small whimpers especially when he's the sub at the time - but he prefers to be dom.

HIS PACE?: He prefers to go fast but will go slow if you need it.

KINKS, OR KINKY AT ALL?: Yes and no. He isn't hardcore kinky, but he has a nice set. Them being; Spanking, temp. play (ex. wax, ice, etc.) and lastly spit.

IS HE GOOD?: He isn't good, but he knows your sensitive spots and says he's the best at it just because he's steady with his thrusts.

IS HE CIRCUMSISED?: Yes, and he is proud of it, as cocky as he is...

If you're a guy he likes sucking your dick and looking in your eyes as he does so, staring into your eyes as he surprises you and sticks his tip of his tongue in your dick hole, sometimes he'll even jerk you off and open his mouth with his tongue slightly out so you can cum in his mouth.

No specific gender - he will put a vibrator on your clit/tip at the highest setting and rub on you or kiss on you as he does it.

No specific gender - he will spit on your privates (ass/pussy) as he thrusts into you, gripping on your hips and grunting. (If he's fucking your ass, he will add a few slaps)

He loves when you choke him with his own tie(s), and will look into your eyes with a smile as you do.

He will drip ice on your pussy's sore clit as he sticks his tongue in your core.

Finally Watched Cinderella's Castle Digital Ticket (Twice) and I Gotta Get My Feelings Out Somewhere, Somehow (Part I)

Feel free to light up my DMs to chat about it!

And now, for my personal highlights/live reactions:

immediately I'm drawn in by Nick Lang's silly narrator voice and the way he warns us of what's coming. Especially the "muRrrDder!"

Jeff Blim cut his hair. JEFF BLIM CUT HIS HAIR. Not that I didn't like the long locks, but something about his Aladdin Era short hair gets me, man.

Jeff Blim literally getting to own the stage like the man was born to

Jeff Blim's slutty bard getup with the artfully messy hair and the heavy guyliner. That sinful bastard.

"Let's go." I'll follow you anyway, slutty bard.

Okay 80s rock jam! Hell yes.

idk why but I just love the line "There are tales in those walls, are they true or are they tall?"

THIS SET, THO. 80s vibes. Muppets vibes. Princess Bride vibes. Spooky, ethereal fairytale vibes. I love it! Props to the team who designed and built it.

prance, slutty bard boy, prance around that stage.

Jesus Fuck, I've only seen Joey's puppet but I'm already SOLD. Nick and Matt Lang and whoever else had a hand in making these puppets fucking OUTDID themselves! Did they use the Black Book and resurrect Jim Henson?

Throughout the show, the muppet vibes just absolutely amaze and delight me. Makes me feel like a little kid, spellbound by this fairytale. Except it's much darker, more gruesome, way more explicit, and extremely horny.

Oh look, it's Joey's Jingle/Jangle (whichever elf he was) voice from Black Friday.

Love me some o' dat non-binary representation from Ragweed. Starkid once again screaming GAY RIGHTS bitches.

I'm getting some of Jeff's Aragog from AVPS in this Narrator. Anyone else?

Stupid STUPID butcher!

Jon Matteson's accent. *giggles madly*

Angela IMMEDIATELY having to pause for applause before she finishes her first freaking line. The queen deserves it all, though.

The foreshadowing of the Stepmother cutting off Ella's feet. O_O

"It's furryyyyy and fouuuuul and full o' maGOTTTSSaaaaaggghhhh!"

Angela doing the little spinny finger thing in a guy's face to fluster them just like Max did to her character in Nerdy Prudes. I love these physical running gags. My fave being the Smoke Club, though.

OIIIINK oinkoinkoinkoinkoinkoink

Sir Preston asking for help from the audience. His "ELLAaaaaa....nooooo....."

The lighting in this entire show is SO COOL.

Again, Jeff just louging like a whore about the set like its his bitch. I live for it.

James' COSTUME. He looks SO FUCKING GOOD. Props to the costume folks...and to James' rockin' genes.

"But nothing compares to the juice and the hairs..." Oh no. Ohhhhh no I see where this is going. Don't say it, James, don't-- omg he said it.

er ee er ee er ee *window rolling down*

I thought the Prince drawing bewbies on the frosty window was funny already, and then he goes WAH WAH WAH and pretends to pinch them and I fucking lost it.

The Prince checkin' out DAT AZZZZZZ XD

"I'd wager she's wetter now than when I first found her bobbing in the river." OH MY GOD. PRINCE. THAT'S HER NOT-MOM.

If his highness has had every STD and beaten it, that's so fucked up but also damn, that boy's immune system is killin' it. Literally.

"Poor mad EllaAH"

"This is one thirsty FUCKING house." For real, omg.

"The offer stands firm. Come calling if you are!" *screams*

Jeff miming being crew and pulling the ropes for the curtains.

*audience member sneezes* "Bless you."

Angela's diction is next fucking level. PUNY. PINK. KIND.

The epic troll reveal! The puppets are SO GOOD.

THE FROG FUCKING TURNING AWAY AS SHE ASKED FOR IT TO DO SO SHE COULD KILL IT. CHRIST.

This bayou boogie song of Ella's is an absolute KILLER BOP. Holy shit. And it's SO perfect for Bryce's funky, sassy voice.

Speaking of which, BRYCE'S VOCALS. I'm gonna scream about them for forever and ever and ever. I love her voice SO FUCKING MUCH. I could listen to nothing else for the rest of my days and die a happy little gay.

"ohhhh woah woah waohhh" *flips the bird* She's such a queen for that.

"It needs oregano" WORK BITCH

Bryce's stage presence is fucking INSANE. I dunno how she's not on Broadway, but thank goodness we got her!

SIRE MANY TADPOLES!

GOD I love this absolutely depraved, horny little bastard of a prince.

It's amazing Tadeus hasn't murdered the prince yet. The man deserves a medal for the literal shit he's put up with.

Bugette?! I thought you choked on shit died and were consumed by the Hive Queen?

Rancilda being a typical troll and loving lurking under bridges and telling riddles.

Schuyler Sister vibes from the song with Justine and Lucy. So cute.

Justine and Lucy are SUCH real ones for IMMEDIATELY believing Ella about her family being trolls and for saying "fuck the ball, we're leaving NOW."

Shake dat ass, Mariah!

Lauren's physical comedy as Rancilda is NEXT LEVEL. I'm wheezing over here!

iSNn'tT it A BiiIItTcH?!

I LOOK GOOD IN THIS. What an absolute fucking BANGER. This song is gonna play in my head on repeat for the next decade. What a next level villain song.

Also this gives me some strongass Joan Jett vibes. "I love wearin' the skin of dead girls rock 'n' roll!"

and I hEEeaARr yoU'Re RiiiCCHhH

Seriously, is this the next Top Chart breakup revenge song? It should be.

"I really LIKE that song!" XD Putrice. I love how much of an absolute BIMBO she is.

Rancilda singing the song again. "SHUT UP STUPID BITCH, THE SONG'S OVER." "Okaaaaiiii"

Matt Dahan's ability to riff off the main songs and create motifs is otherworldly.

General MacNamara? Is that you?! Oh wait, nope. Still my slutty, slutty bard.

I LOOOOOOOVE this badass electric guitar intro, holy shit.

Kim Whalen, the queen, getting the bitchin' entrance she deserves.

Starkid is so, so good at their sound design to help immerse you in a scene without blowing a big budget or doing anything elaborate.

...Kim. My girl. Your arms must be tired.

She's just standing there, but Kim's stage presence is still so strong.

I can't get over how Jon's Sir Hops-A-Lot's voice is just a small...ahem. Hop, skip, and a jump away from Wiggly's.

JOEY. THAT ACCENT. You ABSOLUTE genius idiot. I love you for this stupidass voice.

Joey's bowl cut makes me giggle like mad.

I love these two puppets SO much.

GIT IT, KIM.

The call and response bit with Ella and the Goddess reminds me of Hamilton when Washington is dictating his Farewell Address. I know it's gotta be in other musicals, too, but that's the clearest comparison for this nerd at the moment.

Jeff sneaking in the "castle on a hill" song reference in this song.

Kim and Bryce dueting together is just Power incarnate. Holy cow. It's so good.

"You shall be as radiant and terrible as I." Ooooooh. Yes. Gimme.

The Narrator sneaking out from amidst the ensemble to finish off the song was really neat.

That fading spotlight before curtain for intermission with just Ella's face in view is so beautiful and haunting. What an epic close to Act I.

Also, it seems like this was also a strategic way to imply Ella's outfit being transformed there on stage during the song without actually having to do the tricky costume designing quick-change theater miracles of an ACTUAL outfit transformation. Which is really brilliant. Leave the audience to wonder until post-intermission about what Ella's starlight dress will look like.

Lake Laogai

This Lake had better have Appa in it. With little water wings on.

Skipping the commentary as usual.

The Previously On section suggests that a whole lot of plot threads are about to crash into each other. Strap in folks.

Lefty Sokka!

Beat up Sokka quota fulfilled by his sister's critique of his art skills. It's not like he had paper to practice with at the South Pole.

Sometimes I forget that Aang is 12, then he does something like attempt to rescue his pet from a nefarious city-wide conspiracy of silence with lost cat posters.

"Good tea is its own reward." That means no, he isn't paid enough.

Remember what I said in my last post about Iroh bringing too much attention to himself?

"senior executive assistant manager" someone on the writing team has worked retail I see. Nothing like meaningless promotions with no raise attached! It's right up there with employee pizza party.

I have to pause here and point something out. This whole scene with Iroh? This is an adult fantasy. I don't mean dirty, I mean this whole scene was put in specifically to appeal to the adults who got roped in to watching this kids' show by their children. A rich man walks through the door of your shitty retail job, immediately spots your natural greatness, and offers you a much better paying job with unlimited creative freedom and a better house to go with it? Find me a burnt out retail worker who hasn't conjured up this fantasy five times a shift.

And so the plots come crashing back together. This won't end badly.

"patience really pays off" I checked. He waited literally three seconds.

Shout out to Toph in the background playing catch with a ball she can't see. Casual flex of epic proportions.

Remind me never to go to Lake Laogai. Sounds like it's lousy with Ju Dees.

So the Ju Dees don't know about each other? Because she seems honestly confused. Does Ju Dee think she's the only Ju Dee? What happens if two Ju Dees run into each other in the street?

Posters are illegal but I haven't heard a peep about recarving a bunch of fields into a zoo.

This is maybe the second time Aang's blown up over Appa. Frankly he deserves more blow ups about the whole situation.

I don't think knocking down walls will help find Appa, but I applaud Toph's spirit.

They took out a whole wall and then exit by the door anyways. That's funny.

I really hate this guy, but I have to admit that he may be the first truly competent villain of the series.

'The Jasmine Dragon' also lets anyone with half a brain know that you're Fire Nation. Try the Jasmine Badgermole instead.

Zuko really can't catch a break, huh? He wasn't happy being a tea server, but at least he was resting. But every time he gets five minutes to himself, the main plot reappears to drag him back into the action, whether he wants to or not. Although he hasn't figured out that he doesn't want to be dragged back yet.

Every line of dialogue in this scene is a good point. Zuko's right, Iroh's right. The Zuko's right again, then Iroh's right again.

YES YES YES GET HIS ASS

That was satisfying!

I'm not understanding why Sokka is the voice of reason here. Is he incapable of holding a grudge? He's the one that had all the animosity with Jet to begin with. Shouldn't it be Aang who wants to hear him out?

Toph is a living lie detector now? I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but I'm sure that could have come in handy previously. Any other incredibly useful skills we should know about?

Jet is oddly defensive for someone who claims to know he did wrong.

Ever get so excited that your spine malfunctions?

Sokka just has a metre long map in his pocket. Good friend to have in a pinch.

Avatar first! Katara is rude to an old person!

I'm going to have fun with Toph's new ability.

Toph, you have never been more right. It is the worst city ever. You are really shining this episode.

I know this is a serious scene, but I need to point out that Jet's guyliner is on point.

This shot is jarringly out of place. I think it's because it both black and white, and live action. Those have to be real clouds.

So the Blue Spirit can talk after all. Careful, your Zuko is showing.

Wow Zuko is good at sewing. And fast too.

Sokka is having far too much fun with this whole 'prompt Jet's memory' thing. Maybe he does have a bit of a grudge after all.

Katara can reverse brainwashing now too? Everyone's levelling up this episode.

This scene with the planks is a very cool and disorienting visual.

Didn't have 'the gaang breaks into a brainwashing facility' on my ATLA bingo card.

Pretty.

OMIGOD IT'S AP- did Zuko just break the fourth wall?

Everyone always forgets to look up.

So this fight is going to be Toph v. all of the Dai Li while everyone else tries not to get in Toph's way.

That's a boat.

Toph could probably take all these guys out faster if she wasn't having to constantly break off to save everyone else from them.

The Dai Li prancing up walls is a really cool visual. It's very Ty Lee of them.

I love watching her work.

Why don't you let Long Feng escape? He's no longer threatening you, and you're down there to rescue Appa. Just let him go.

The security on Lake Laogai is a joke.

Big words from someone who also had no plan whatsoever at the North Pole.

Zuko knows that Iroh's right. He knows, and that's important. I don't think Iroh is saying anything that Zuko hasn't thought and then hurriedly pretended to have never thought about before. It's why he says 'stop it' rather than being completely confused as to what Iroh is referring to.

Poor Appa's like 'can you have a crisis of self after you free me please?'

'You've chosen your own demise." No. You chose it for him. That's some top tier deflection/victim blaming right there.

Longshot can talk!

That's one hell of a set up and pay off re: Toph's lie detecting abilities.

Poor Jet. A double tragedy: to be likeable only when you're brainwashed, and to dedicate your life to wiping out the Fire Nation yet being killed by the Earth Kingdom.

Hi Appa. It's about time buddy.

Shockingly in character for Appa's first actions to be to single handedly save the Gaang from a threat.

You skip that bastard like a stone.

Everyone go and listen to the sound Appa makes when he spits out Long Feng's shoe. It's delightful.

I am framing this.

And this too.

I can tell there's some shmymbolism here, but it's gone right over my head.

Final Thoughts

Appa is back. The Gaang has Appa back. I have Appa back. Ok. I can relax now. With any luck, this means we can leave Ba Sing Se.

This episode felt like City of Walls and Secrets, Part 2. I think it was a good decision to have a couple of episodes between the two, but I think there would be some tonal whiplash if you binged this section of season 2. Which wouldn't have been a problem for a show designed to air once a week, so it's a moot point.

So Zuko freed Appa from his chains, and presumably pointed him in the direction of a door or something. Or maybe not; Appa has a ridiculously hard head, he could have busted his way out. Either way, Zuko broke the chains. Thanks Zuko!

In season 1, Zuko finds the Avatar the world had lost. In season 2, Zuko finds the Sky Bison the Avatar had lost. So in season 3, Zuko will find something Appa has lost. I wonder what that will be?

Jet being killed by the Earth Kingdom is so deliciously ironic, and tragic, yet very in character for the Earth Kingdom's approach to this war. It's also literally this:

Smellerbee and Longshot have really gotten the short end of the stick over and over this season. They were the only ones to decide to stick with Jet. Presumably they were the only ones who believed that he had had a legitimate change of heart. And they were kind of wrong. They get to Ba Sing Se only for Jet to immediately backslide way past even where he was at his worst in Season 1. He completely discounts and dismisses their legitimate concerns for his methods and his overall health. Then Jet gets arrested and disappears for two (?) weeks. So what do they do now? Get jobs? Steal so they don't starve? Then suddenly Jet's back but he doesn't even remember them. Then suddenly Jet's dead. The whole point of coming to Ba Sing Se just died, in a way that shows very clearly that their desire to help with the war is not welcome at all in the city. So what now? Do they leave and try to fight in the war from outside the walls? Do they settle down and try to forget about the war? Things did spiral completely out of Jet's control once the Dai Li got involved, but you have to admit that he's left his only remaining friends up a creek.

Sokka had some good jokes but was oddly ok with this episode's events. Toph had some great lines and got to shine with a new skill that any writer with half a brain will bring back in future episodes. She felt like the audience substitute this episode, which is usually Sokka's role. Toph was episode MVP for sure. Poor Aang took a bit of a back seat this episode. Zuko finally hit the crisis point, and may well have made his first indisputably correct decision of the series. But, as previous episodes have gone out of their way to show me that Zuko being good always goes badly for Zuko, I'm sure freeing Appa will somehow come back to bite him.

Iroh's question of "who are you? And what do you want?" was Zuko's entire character arc this season. He took a shot at answering the "who are you?" portion in Zuko Alone, and sort of halfway got there before messing up at the end of the episode. As for the "what do you want?" Zuko will tell you (often and repeatedly) that he wants his honour back. But I think he just wants to go home. The thing is, I strongly suspect that the home Zuko wants to return to hasn't existed since his mother left, if it ever existed at all. Which means that while "who are you?" has an answer Zuko can work towards, "what do you want?" has an answer that is kind of impossible. So Zuko is going to have to learn to want something new.

RIP Jet. Your life was fucked to Hell long before you were old enough to try and salvage it. You'll probably be missed by more people than you strictly deserve. War sucks, amirite?

latte art

Choso x Reader coffeeshopAU!

Just a lil meet cute where Choso sees you enter a cafe and decides to use some of his new skills to impress you...

work count: 1.2k

“I see you layered your guyliner on extra thick today, Choso.”

Rolling said eyes, Choso dug through the counter and grabbed a bag of decaf beans to hand over to his pink-haired coworker.

He caught his reflection in the metallic of the espresso machine. It wasn’t that his eyeliner was layered extra thick, it was more a matter that he had never removed it from the night before.

And that he might’ve fell asleep while studying.

On his desk.

In the library.

“I never took it off.”  

Yuji blinked at him, taking the coffee and getting to work on another customer’s order. Choso had made it a habit to watch over the semi-new hire when he was assigned to the latte art and more complex orders. He had a tendency to overfill the cups.  

A chime sounded, indicating someone had stepped into the café.

Brows furrowed, he glanced at the clock. It was fairly late in the evening, not so close to closing as he’d hoped which meant they’d hit the “students getting shit done before midnight” crowd of the Sunday evening.

Rolling his neck, Choso adjusted his apron and walked over to the front counter.  

His eyes raked over you for a split second before speaking. “What can I get for you?”

You beamed brightly up at him, and he quickly glanced down at the screen in front of him as he waited for your order. You were a student, that was apparent by your bookbag and sort of worn out exterior. He hadn’t seen you around here last semester, and suddenly he was glad that the rotation of classes made you wander into the shop.

“Oh! And could I also get it with a cup of soup?” He nodded along, brushing a stray hair out of his face as he finished typing up the order.

“For here or to go?” His eyes flicked up to yours, examining your features.

“Here please!” you exclaimed enthusiastically. “I need a change of scenery that isn’t in the library,” you gestured to your backpack.

He nodded, gesturing to the card reader in front of you as you waited to pay.

 Having paid, you found a quaint spot by the window to set your bag down and pull out your ecosystem of electronics, he noticed.

How much could you fit in that bag?

“Hey, Choso. How do I make this again? Don’t I pour the creamer—”

The formerly mentioned male took the label out Yuji’s hands, realizing it was yours.

“I got it,” he grumbled. “Watch the register.”

Yuji sticks his tongue out at him but walked obediently over towards the front, working on the next person’s, much simpler, coffee.

He couldn’t help but glance over at where you were sitting, entirely engrossed in whatever you were doing. He watched as you shuffled through papers, brows furrowed in concentration.

A sudden burning shocked him out of his staring. With a hiss, he reflexively took his hand back that had been in the way of the espresso machine, causing the coffee to pour onto him, rather than into the cup.

He sighed. He’d have to do it again.

Reaching into the cupboard with his now throbbing hand, he grabbed a new cup and slapped your label on it. Now waiting for the drip (from a safe distance), he leaned back against the counter, debating what sort of art he should do in the coffee…

You seemed like the type to appreciate it.

Now determined, he grabbed the creamer, glancing in your direction as he did so. His eyebrows raised as he met your gaze, watching as you shyly glanced back down to your laptop.

Ok, now he had to make this perfect. Not the usual run of the mill that the regulars looked forward to from the other employees.

No fuck ups, Choso.

Squaring his shoulders, he rolled up his sleeves, adjusted his frame, and began to pour.

Carefully holding it in his hands, he swung open the miniature gate that separated the customer and employees sections of the front.

“Hey, what are you—” Yujis eyes snapped to the direction Choso was headed towards. “Ah, oh uh, never mind then.”

Moving into your field of view, Choso gracefully plated the mug in front of you, careful of your papers strewn about the small benchtop.

You gratefully looked up towards him and smiled.

Gahh…

He clenched his jaw subconsciously. He really liked the way the sides of your mouth quirked up when it was directed at him.

“Oh my gosh!” you gasped, cooing over the arguably very adorable cat’s face that was plastered in the middle of your cup. “I literally cannot drink this.”

He nodded silently in approval, his chest lightening a bit that you reacted positively towards it.

Glancing down at his name tag you blurted, “Choso this is the cutest thing that’s ever been added to my coffee order.”

Deciding against the rapid beating that was thundering inside his chest, he replied in kind. “If you’re around again, I’ll give you another one. The older folks don’t care much for that.”

Bullshit, he never did this sort of art on the coffee except for a select group of his employees and friends. He doesn’t know why he even did it for you in the first place, something just drove him to it.

“I hadn’t realized this café did it, I would’ve been in here last semester if I’d known about it” you laughed lightly, hand swishing in the air as you rolled your eyes.

“Why don’t you advertise it? I’m sure people from all over the campus would flock to get it done by you.”

He scrunched his nose. No, he hated making something personal to him so commercialized, the idea of having to do it over and over killed his enjoyment of it.

Shifting his weight, he admitted, “I don’t care much for it to be… marketed. I like the challenge to make new ones out of enjoyment.”

Had he come off as harsh? He admitted he hadn’t talked to a customer like this in well… ever. He didn’t want to come off as a creep, oh no, did he seem like a creep?

“Alright,” your voice cut through his thoughts. “I don’t think you’d know how to do a rose, would you?”

Your smile was enticing, and he licked his bottom lip absentmindedly. Folding his arms, he replied. “You’ll just have to come back and see.”

Eyes narrowing, you stuck your chin out in challenge. “Alright, you’re on then.”

Smirking, he walked back to the counter and shut the swinging door behind him. Yuji quirked an eyebrow at him, “What did you give her?”

“A cat.”

“Holy shit!” He stopped drying a mug, giving Choso his full attention. “Didn’t you just learn that one?”

He shoved his coworker playfully, nodding as he did so. “I’m taking my break.”

Staring blankly after him, yuji’s face broke out into a smile, looking from him to your table.

Tossing the apron onto the stool beside him in the back room, Choso eagerly pulled out his phone and typed into the search bar.

Megumi, who was now clocking in to take over for his pink-haired classmate, secretly peeked over his shoulder.

Beauty Day Headcanons for the First Class SOLDIER boys!

A/N: I have always imagined the 1st class bois doing a beauty day with their S/O cause why not? They're beautiful. 💅💄

♡ Sephiroth♡

-Let's start with skincare. He's not that into skin cleansing with creams and whatnot, but will definitely put on a face mask, especially if it's Moogle or Chocobo themed.

-He will allow you to put on some eyeshadow (see pic above, not mine btw) and maybe some foundation, but lipstick is out of the question because he risks getting it on his hair.

-LOVES to have his nails painted, especially black and white. I mean come on. Why do you think he wears gloves? It's to hide his shiny, glittery nails from everyone. Paint his nails for him once and you'll find it turns into a tradition. Every weekend, you two end up sitting at the kitchen table, painting each other's nails different colors, trying out new patterns and designs. Too bad his nails have to be kept short so he can fitght or he would have long-ass coffin nails by now.

-You want to brush his hair? By all means, go right ahead! Sephiroth is a living Rapunzel; to have a beauty day and not play with his hair would be to miss out on a golden opportunity. He loves it. You love it. Everyone's happy.

-What about hairstyling, you may ask? Well, he is in EUPHORIA when you braid his hair (it's soooo relaxing) and likes to have you help him tie it into buns, pigtails, ponytails and whatnot. At the end of the day, he ends up looking like a really big, muscular kawaii girl. ✌️🩷❤️✌️

☆Genesis☆

-LOOK at this man. A total pretty boy. It's likely that you were introduced to beauty days by him, and that he dragged you onto the makeup/skincare/shiny things bandwagon.

-Will wear literally anything you want him to, eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, facemasks, cleansers, you name it, he'll let you put it on his face. That can be interpreted many ways, don't sue me for your dirty minds

-Fingernail painting? He's fine with it, but he's more into pedicures because his hands get scratched up more often than Sephiroth's do.

-When it's time to paint the footsies...hoo boy. His toes are very ticklish, so you have to pinch 'em just so or he'll be wiggling and giggling, and then his feet will end up covered in nail polish and there'll be a huge mess in general.

-Like Sephiroth, Genesis enjoys getting his hair done. He'll let you wash it, style it, tie it up into little pigtails--he's basically your living Barbie doll.

-All in all, beauty days with Genesis are lots of fun. Sometimes you guys turn on a rom-com or drama and do each other's hair while watching it. ❤️

■ Angeal ■

-Aight, this man is different from the rest. He's not that into makeup, but he will don a little blush and guyliner if you ask him to.

-Angeal's preference is skincare, believe it or not. He wants the whole package, face masks, cleansers, lotions, hydrating soaps, etc. Being in S.O.L.D.I.E.R. means you have to leave for missions often--you don't get much time to maintain your skin. As a result, Angeal is now a skincare addict and relies on you to teach him how to use the products properly and help him establish a solid routine.

-Bonus points if you buy him one of those cute headbands to push his hair back. Imagine seeing your beefy boyfriend parading around the house with bunny ears and a pink sheet mask. Adorable.

-Another thing he enjoys is massages. Yes, you read that right. Coming home from an exhausting mission and being met with a warm bubble bath and then a relaxing massage? That's his kind of heaven.

-Also wouldn't mind giving you a nice full body massage as a reward afterwards. What did I tell you about double meanings, like jeez ?

[splatooshy]

a peek into my notes app.

file: 🧛‍♀️😜

tvdu oneshots mixed with opinions. completely different from my ‘tvdu opinions’ file and my ‘bloody hell! silly oneshots’ files. this is only 1/4 of the file.

damon in guyliner

y’all the witches go on about how vampire evil vampire must be stopped and then they take away someone’s magic for stopping said vampire

Damon just licked his lips in anticipation. "Oh, you know how I like having things pushed inside me, don't you?"

“You can’t avoid me forever, Damon!” Elena warned. “Maybe so,” he admitted, “but I’m still gonna try.” He darted around her, blurring towards the staircase and sliding down the banister, mentally shouting ‘parkour’ in his head. Damn. He’d been spending too much time around the little Gilbert. And teenagers in general. “Parkour!” Jeremy cheered from the couch, cradling a bowl of cereal like it was a newborn. Yup. Too much time around teenagers, Damon thought as he rolled his eyes.

“I just don’t get it,” Matt grumbled confusedly as Caroline walked away. She wanted to talk to him. Now she was walking away? First Stefan yanked Elena from him and now Tyler had taken Caroline. He and Elena had been on the verge of getting back together until Stefan showed up and stole her away. And just when he was seriously reconsidering his breakup with Caroline, Tyler was suddenly swooping in and taking her from Matt. It wasn’t fair.

ok but the locker rooms at the batting cages in denver 🤭

“Pretty boy?” Stefan spluttered. “Well, you are kinda pretty.” Elena shrugged into the mirror as she applied eyeshadow. “She's not wrong, brother.” Damon piped up from the doorway. “You’re a little bit pretty.” He patted his brother on the cheek and went to join Elena at the mirror, snatching her eyeliner with a triumphant grin. “I'm not pretty!” Stefan denied with a small whine. “Not compared to me, no.” Damon smiled sweetly, turning to reveal those blue eyes, now rimmed with black kohl.

s1 damon / eternal teenager verse: “Why is it she’s always telling you to leave her alone when she’s the one seeking you out?”

damon: “My father used to say I had the devil in me, but really it was just my riding instructor.”

someone (jeremy) gets runic tattoos with elena’s doppelganger blood because they want to be the avatar.

“Oh my god, it’s a room full of Elijah’s.” “I had that exact same nightmare once.” OKAY but put that line in tvd and Damon then goes “Really? I had a sex dream about that.”

“you really are quite the little slut, aren’t you, Damon?” The velvety croon of Elijah’s cultured voice makes it sound all the more dirty, and Damon can’t help but let out a small moan as he nods. “Very good,” the Original murmurs, and oh fuck. Elijah can do whatever he wants with Damon as long as he keeps talking like that.

“That’s so hot.” - Damon, every day. Alternatively: “Anyone else a little turned on right now?” // any time he gets pinned to a wall, he whispers “traitor” to his dick.

sassy elijah vs sassy damon except they kiss.

“Now, what am I going to do with you?” “Something terribly naughty, I hope.” delijah.

dabekah are essentially cats. very sassy ones. like a slinky black cat and a fluffy white one

idk some wedding, kol gets confused with american accents and brings a bear trained to carry rings

compel the president to make random holidays

kol and rebekah watch the hunger games and decide to do a real life version, compelling the tributes

“Klaus and Stefan pulling another devious act,” Klaus gleefully mumbles, high on the wolfsvain(™️) joints Damon and Kol had invented. Stefan just stares at him for a minute, silence filling the room as they blink in tandem.

 elijah walks into the boarding house, kisses the girls on their hands. damon holds out his expectantly, and smiles deviously when elijah actually kisses it.

Pairing: Dude Ranch Era!Tom Delonge x Fem!Reader

A/N: part two is here my loves! This can be read as a stand alone piece but read the first part here. I'm pretty happy with this but that feels a bit cocky to admit so read for yourself ❤

Summary: Tom and Y/N can't shake the tension that's risen since their almost kiss. Tom's nerves and inability to do his own eyeliner finally bring it to light.

Y/N sat on Tom’s bed, legs crossed under her as she picked at her nails absent mindedly, waiting for Tom to get ready. “What are you stressing out for?” she asks, looking up at her friend watching as he rummages around his drawers, throwing out clothes with a huff when they’re not to his liking, “you’re just gonna have to pick those up later,” she grumbles, going back to picking at her nails, sneaking a quick glance back up as Tom runs a hand through his hair.

Tom groans in frustration, and Y/N feels the hairs on the back of her neck stand up at the sound, a tingle running down her spine. It’s been like that a lot recently, since they nearly kissed; casual touches and looks that suddenly have Y/N feeling breathless when she’s around her friend. There’s a feeling bubbling deep in her stomach that she’s trying to ignore.

She’d never really thought about him like that before, or at least she thought she hadn’t. With the sudden revelation of her less than platonic feelings for her friend she’s starting to think that maybe she had and just never let herself dwell on it. All the stolen glances, the late nights giggling together, the sick feeling in her throat when he’d talk to other girls; she feels like an idiot for thinking that was all platonic. Your heart doesn’t pound like hers does when you look at a friend.

“I just… wanna look good,” Tom mumbles, pulling out a different shirt and holding it up to him as he turns to Y/N questioningly. She nods and shrugs in approval and before she can even ask why it mattered so much, Tom is yanking his shirt off and pulling the other one on. Y/N look away suddenly, feeling bad for the quick glimpse she got of Tom’s torso that leaves her cheeks hot.

Tom had been hyping himself up for tonight all week. They were going to see some random gig, but Tom was dead set on telling her how he felt by the end of the night. His feelings had continued to grow at an alarming rate since their almost kiss and Tom was starting to feel like he was going crazy. Just the thought of her had his heart racing. Even the way she was sitting there, legs crossed on his bed, totally oblivious to how cute she looked, had him feeling faint.

He had planned the night to near perfection; he was gonna be looking sharp, they were gonna go to see the band and he was going to be so charming and witty and smooth that Y/N was gonna be throwing herself into his arms by the end of the night. Of course in his daydreaming he failed to remember that the pair pretty much always got ready to go to things like this together, and he nearly puked when he answered the doorbell to find Y/N standing there, looking up at him with a bright smile.

Now here he was, trying desperately to pretend that Y/N being there didn’t melt his brain as he stood in front of the mirror with shaky hands, trying to do his eyeliner. It’s something he’s been doing for a few weeks now, since he overhead Y/N gushing about some guitarist she saw that did it. He had shrugged when Y/N asked about it, “I just wanted to try it out,” vowing to himself to keep wearing it forever when Y/N giggled and told him it looked good.

“Fuck,” Tom cursed, stabbing himself in the eye and dropping the pencil, “fuck, fuck, fuck.”

“Tom, take it easy,” Y/N giggles softly, getting up and going over to lean next to him against his dresser, “seriously take a breath Tom you’re gonna give yourself a fucking heart attack stressing out like this,” she says, smiling up at him, a bit concerned, as she takes the pencil from his hand gently. Their hands touching only making Tom feel more flustered, but he forces himself to take a deep breath in and out.

She fiddles with the eyeliner pencil, “do you want some help?” she asks, softly. Tom stares at her, words stuck in throat as he nods, following her over to the bed. He sits next to her, unable to look at her, trying to calm his nerves as she gently turns his face towards her, “you’ll have to look at me if you want me to do your eyeliner,” she teases, her own heart racing as she cups his face gently.

She looks up at him shyly, biting her lip in concentration as she brings the pencil up to his eye, “look up.”

He does as she says and she gently draws a line below his eye, smudging it out gently with her finger, trying not to poke Tom in the eye. “Look at me,” she says gently, drawing another line above his top lashes, her hand gently cupping his face as she focuses. Tom feel’s like he can’t breath, staring down at her speechless as she gazes up at him, focusing intently. She finishes on his first eye and stares at him for a minute, words stuck on the tip of her tongue.

She breaths out shakily as she looks away for a second, trying to compose herself, her soft breath hitting Tom’s face as he feels heat rising up his neck. She moves to do the second eye, smudging the eyeliner as she stares in concentration.

Tom is so fucked. As he looks at her he takes in the features of her face, reviling in the closeness that he doesn’t get to have often. Her eyes sparkle as she looks at him, her tongue coming out to lick her lip, and Tom has to desperately fight the urge to press his lips to hers. He’s been dreaming about her lips against his for as long as they’ve known each other, imagining the feeling them press against his softly, her lip-gloss sweet, sticking to his mouth, her hands tangled in his hair. He so desperately wants to kiss her it’s making his hands shake.

His throat feels tight as she reaches up to smudge the eyeliner a bit, her soft hand against his skin making goosebumps rise on his skin. He stares at her as she pulls her bottom lip between her teeth, biting it gently as she concentrates, and Tom feels his self control falter.

Before Tom can even realise what he’s doing his shaky hand comes out and he runs his thumb gently along her bottom lip, pulling it out from between her teeth. Her breath catches in her throat at the soft touch as she stares at Tom, his gazed fixed on his thumb pressing against her soft lips.

She can feel the tension, her heart pounding in her ears as she watches him stare at her lips. “Tom…” she says almost breathlessly, her words being cut off by Tom’s lips being pressed into hers. The kiss is gentle, nervous, as Tom feels like his skin is on fire at the feeling of her soft lips against his. He waits for a second, desperately hoping she’ll kiss him back, before pulling away a bit stunned by his own action.

The pair stare at each other, Y/N’s eyes wide, shifting from his lips to meet his eyes, and Tom feels frozen, unable to move despite the dread now sinking in in the pit of his stomach. Neither of them say anything, the tension thick as they sit in silence, Y/N trying to process what just happened, Tom trying to work up the nerve to speak.

In what feels like slow motion Y/N is leaning in again, pressing her lips to his in a much firmer kiss. Their mouths move against each other desperately as Tom wraps his arms around Y/N’s waist, hers going around his neck and the pair pull each other closer. They stay there for a long time, passionately kissing as the months of tension vanish.

Tom pulls away with a start as he feels his phone buzzing away in his pocket, breaking him from his lovesick daze. He fumbles with it, one hand still wrapped around Y/N, flustered as she gazes at him lovingly, hand playing with his hair gently. He looks down at the phone, blush rising on his cheek as he feels Y/N’s breath against him, “it’s Mark,” he mumbles.

Y/N reaches out and takes the phone, gently tossing it aside, taking Tom’s hand, “just ignore him,” she whispers, pressing her lips to his again.

[toadstool32]

what are your thoughts on ishizu doing yugi's makeup once as a friendly gesture(egyptian shit looks GOOD with goth and punk looks, trust me) and then him incorporating bits of that style in basically every other look where he's decided it's an eyeliner moment?

I can see Yugi trying to do makeup on his own and feel a little bit silly so not really doing much other than the classic guyliner (u know the look) but ishizu trying to help him out and show him like, u know a way to both make him closer in a way to Atem, and also bc that's the style she learned, and now she teaches that to Yugi, so I can see that being his default choice. I am about to go burry myself in the sand and cry about this

[bringbacktim]

imagine doing shlatts makeup 🙁 hed just be squirming around while you try to apply lipgloss but he starts putting it on you nd kisses you "there. now i have it on."

I love this sm omg

Guyliner-jschlatt

There is no eyeliner in this , I just thought it'd be a funny title

Synopsis:above

Warnings: none

Not edited or proofread

Wc:480 words

Y/n and Schlatt were filming a YouTube video for her channel and she combined her love for annoying her boyfriend and makeup content which her subscribers loved

It took a lot of convincing him to let her do his makeup , but they made a compromise that she would go on one of his streams so he could bully her

That didn't stop him from squirming in his seat any time she put any makeup anywhere near him

"You're going to stab me in the eye with that thing" he said looking at the mascara wand in her hand as he tried to stop her from putting it on him

"I'm not going to stab you in the eye , I do this everyday" she laughed as he almost jumped out of his seat as she got closer

"Yeah, on you not me . You're going to blind me with that thing" he fussed with a huff

"Stop being such a baby" she said holding his head steady

"Okay next is lipgloss which is harmless and can't hurt you" she said standing up to show the camera then looking over her shoulder at the big man baby sat on his chair

"That feels like reverse psychology"

"It's just lip balm but liquid , quit crying"

"It comes it a fucking test tube , that shit is probably radioactive" he said holding her wrist and moving her hand with the lip gloss tube in it up to the camera

"I wish I would've asked ted or someone , you need to stop squirming or you'll probably swallow the applicator" she said sternly pointing an accusing finger

"Ted would never get this close to a woman" Schlatt laughed looking at the distance between them

" can you shut up and sit still" she grew agitated as he would not stop moving

"How is it fair that you can put this on me , but you don't have any on" he questioned taking the tube from her hand

"Fine , but this is the only thing you're putting on me" she said giving up

He held the product in his hand and tried to apply it as neatly as he could , taking his time as he'd never done this before laughing after he was done at the idea that popped into his head

So he leaned forward and connected their lips in a kiss as an apology for being a wimp, but also just cause he wanted to

"There. Now I have it on" he said all smug

"Didn't realise we were filming the chapstick challenge" she laughed trying not to believe she just fell for that

"New video idea?" schlatt said looking towards the camera knowing the comments would be full of people agreeing

[ya-boi-haru]

Hey SMTO fandom! Amongst my time of cosplaying the characters (which you can watch here if you don't know my stuff) I did also do a genderswap au for a fun thing to continue doing the characters, but that was really it, however I'm about to reveal a project I never got around to working on...

✨️Seduce Me: Band AU✨️

I just recently remembered this, so I'm going to try and remember all the headcannons + add new ones, that I would have done!

James: Pianist, guitar + Band manager/agent, Lead vocal

Erik: Pianist, a little guitar, singer

Sam: Drums, guitar, back up singer

Matthew: base, back up singer, drums

Damien: learning: guitar, base, piano and vocals

Mika (mc): Singer

Diana: solo artist/singer

Saero: Diana's bodyguard

Suzu: Drums

Naomi: piano, harp

Andrew: piano

✨️Now headcannons✨️:

(Disclaimer: I'm not very knowledgeable on music stuffs so...)

• All the boys have tattoos, they all got a matching one of a heart with horns (the horns varying to what theirs look like in the game)

• Tattoos (not including the matching ones)

- James: tribal pattern around his lower torso, music notes

- Erik: Twisted rose vines with sharp thorns with blood drops

- Sam: Dragon on his back, demon circle on his shoulder, tribal patter on his front torso (to match his demon markings)

- Matthew: probably something colourful and kinda cute. A small simon tabby on his calf (he lost a bet)

- Damien: 4 music notes, each one drawn by a brother on his wrist

- Diana: Panther that looks like its coming out of her shoulder, Matching golden rose with Searo

• Piercings:

- James: (1)Earlobe double, helix, eyebrow

- Erik: Ears double, helix double, lip, nose, nipples

- Sam: Ears (double), helix ( double each), nose, tounge, lip (snakebite)

- Matthew: Ears, nose, helix (double)

- Damien: Ears (double), nose

- Diana: Ears, nipples, tounge

- Saero: Lip Dolphin bites, ear, helix

• Whenever Sam needs to vent out his feelings he takes it out on his drums, doing "practice sessions"

• All the brothers are teaching Damien how to play/sing since he wasn't allowed to learn growing up

• They've heard of Diana since their parents tries to get them to make a contract with each other but the brothers left their Fathers publisher name before they could

• While they enjoy playing together, the boys do have their own style as well

• SAM USES GUYLINER

• Mika would sing with Naomi and Suzu and they'd pretend to have big gigs while playing the the garage. Her father would rather she take over the producer company, but thinks its good she's "knowledgeable about the art"

• Erik is in charge of their outfits/costumes

• Matthew organises light/stage work etc

• Damien chills back stage with James when he's not on

• Damien is working on a song

• Sam takes his drumsticks with him everywhere. He has multiple and even a lucky pair

• Sams never been one for writing the songs but he tries to for Mika

• The boys started out at bars and small clubs and just where ever they could get a gig. They also done some shows for charity

• Harold discovered them and let them join his record company

• Mika wanted to be a singer but was supposed to take over her dad for the company and she "couldn't do both"

• Diana met up with Harold before about a job at his company but before papers could be finalised, he passed away

• Damien doesn't want to show his song as he's "still working on it" but if you were listening at the right time, you can hear him humming it, trying to work out a melody and lyrics

• Erik, Mika & Matthew are shower singers (both in the AU and cannon)

• The boys learned how to play Mikas favourite song as a surprise for her birthday

• Mika helps them out with Social Media management

That's all I have for now but hope you enjoy the concept. Feel free to add on or use as inspiration for anything (tho please credit/tag)

🍓🧸🔮🍐🎲

For your HSS MCs and AOU MCs

🍓What is their favorite fruit?

Lola: Cherries Jamie: Dragonfruit Matty: Strawberries (esp on pancakes)

Jo: Cherries Dexter: Peaches

🧸Do they have a stuffed animal or item they've kept from when they were a kid?

Lola: Lola has kept all of her childhood stuffed animals. She has them on display on a shelf in her bedroom and rotates them out on her bed. She usually has 1-3 on her bed at a time. One of her favorites is actually not from her young childhood, but from when she and Payton went on a mall date and went to Build-A-Bear. Jamie: Jamie has kept all of the frog stuffed animals they had as a kid and collects more throughout their life. Matty: Not really no. A lot of the stuffed animals and things he got as a kid were really girly because everyone thought he was a girl and when he first started feeling like Not A Girl, he threw a bunch of them out in rage and confusion.

Jo: Jo kept a few of her favorites. Dexter: Dexter has one teddy bear that he kept - his favorite one. It's in horrible shape now lol but he doesn't care.

🔮Random Question chosen by the poster~♡ ooh picking this one from the list because i like it ❤️ 🦋What is their favorite season?

Lola: Fall! She is a total fall girl and loves it so much Jamie: They Cannot Choose, they love them all Matty: Winter (perfect weather for that dysphoria hoodie)

Jo: Summer Dexter: Summer

🍐Say they wanted to look sexy for their partner, what sort of outfit would they wear? Lola: Hmmm something really fun and feminine and probably lacy. Payton and Lola are, like, peak femme for femme lol. Jamie: boxer briefs and nothing else Matty: Pre medical transition, Matty just... does not feel sexy in anything tbh. He just feels really dysphoric. But post medical transition he would probably wear something leather and just generally a lot of sexy black. Plus, just, so much guyliner.

Jo: This is kind of niche, but I feel like Jo and Tess do a lot of fantasy roleplay. So, Jo would definitely dress up like a sexy fairy princess or some kind of sword-wielding lesbian soldier. For anything else, she'd probably wear like a crop top with no bra and some boxer briefs or something. Dexter: A thong of some kind and body glitter :)

🎲Random Question chosen by the poster~♡ This isn't one of the questions on the list but I'm gonna go with Are they a top, bottom, or switch?

Lola: Femme top!! Jamie: Switch Matty: Bottom, but willing to top on occasion

Jo: Top-leaning switch Dexter: Switch. He goes through phases where he is bottom-leaning or top-leaning, but just generally a switch.

also gonna go ahead and submit this to @choicespride since i ended up talking about Matty being trans :)

I’m sorry but Regina just has THE most comical face when she realizes Emma is coming, and any time she’s acting like the evil queen in this episode, all of it is just over the top and such a caricature and comical and I can’t take it

Poor Anna trying to make everyone feel love

*sing song-ish voice* “Snow White is a murderer. I killed the evil queen’s mother. And I said I was sorry when I wasn’t.” …Snow??? What???

“YOU said you could keep a secret!!” “I! Was!! TEN!!!!!!!”

Basically all of Snow’s and Regina’s sword fight

Plus David watching uselessly (except for when he teams up with Snow briefly to disarm Regina)

Henry making Hook trip on marbles when he enters the mayor’s office

Will wants another go at Hook, charges, misses, Hook knocks him into the wall, Will crumbles

Anna: *hits Kristoff over the head* *reads note* “*gasp* Kristoff! Do you have any idea what this is?! *pause* Oh, right, I knocked you out. *moves closer* wake up! We have to take this to Elsa. *kisses him* I love you! You’re amazing! …You’re unconscious. *gets up* I’ll be right back, okay? Stay there! I mean I know you’ll stay here but I’ll be back anyway!!”

Ingrid sacrificing herself and the music going on in the background at that point OH MY GOSH

WHEN THE SPELL IS UNDONE THEY LAUGH AND THEY HUG AND IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭

*very confused* “…what am I wearing?”

Regina, David, and Mary Margaret laughing, like,, authentically laughing, like so much that it almost looks to me like they’re Lana and Josh and Ginnifer just having fun, and they’re all falling over laughing too, and it’s almost a blooper reel

“I’m sorry I tried to kill you.” “With a cross bow! You tried to kill me with a crossbow!”

“The door to Arendelle must be around here. It’s just a matter of finding it.” *magic broomstick finds it instantly* *silence* “…there it is.”

Maleficent, Ursula, and Cruella DeVil’s first entrance like wowie that is cool and ahhhh they look so good

Regina and Emma’s phone call with Ursula and Cruella

*Chernabog turns to Maleficent* “I knew it.”

“I hope you choke on my bones.” THAT IS SUCH A RAW LINE WHAT THE HECK ASFJJJGJDS

“The Chernabog was looking for the heart with the greatest potential for darkness…but it was not looking for Regina. It was after Emma Swan.” AHHHH CHILLSSSSSS

“If you say a word about this to anyone, especially Emma, you won’t have to worry about Regina. I’ll rip out your hearts myself.” …SNOW??? WHAT??? DUDE??? HUH???

Snow finding out she and Maleficent will both be mothers and she’s straight up like “nah, I don’t wanna work with you. I won’t darken myself by associating with you.” And Maleficient is like “you…wouldn’t want to make a better world for our children…just because you don’t like me??”

Regina crushing the glass after taking the shot as if it was a heart, like. What. Regina how did that prove you are villain it just proves you have a strong grip (you’re lucky you were wearing gloves or else your hand would be pretty messed up)

“First one to save us loses.”

Basically Regina is trying to join a gang

“I said we needed to meet covertly! You brought the whole Charming Softball Team and their pirate mascot??”

*Regina without warning possesses Mary Margaret to communicate where she is and what she’s doing*

Robin Hood stealing a horse in New York

Actually right before that as the camera is panning into the scene you can hear someone shout “I’m walkin’ here! I’M WALKIN’ ‘ERE!”

Emma and Regina go on a road trip

The wolf making them crash, giving everyone watching déjà vu to season one (including Emma)

“You know me from the diner, right? Smile and hold my hand and walk around the block for a little bit and you get free burgers for a week.”

*teen Emma is depressed on the bench waiting for a bus* Lily: “heyyyyy 😁😁”

The Apprentice thinking it’s just Okay to sit next to a teen girl and address her by a name she didn’t tell you. Like. My guy. I know YOU mean no harm but you REALLY gotta think about what it looks like to HER

Lily’s conspiracy board

Lily steals Emma’s bug -> Emma grabs a wrench, smashes a car window, and steals a car

Regina looking freaked out when Emma starts talking like she herself would

Regina holding on for dear life when Emma is angrily chasing Lily

*spreads arms out* “go on. Kill me. Put me out of my misery. Put an end to this.”

“There have been many authors, from the first cave painter […] to a man named Walt.” *1966* “Our last author…he passed away recently.”

Rumplestiltskin almost dying (again) (you know, just his seasonal near death experience even though he’s immortal)

Seeing Isaac write “Once upon a time…”

THE LAST TWO EPISODES OH MY GOSH I COULD WRITE A WHOLE POST JUST ABOUT THE CHAOS OF EPISODES 4x22 AND 4x23

Henry standing up to Isaac

“What does your heart say? I know what my heart says. But what if his doesn’t say the same thing?” “Isn’t that a risk you’re willing to take?”

Emma confronting her parents with such a brilliant speech and amazing expression…but if you watch in the background you see Hook holding the sword above his head, pointy end going being him, gritting his teeth, bouncing forward and backward, trying to look brave but actually just looks like a scared doofus (in the most endearing way)

Hook sacrifices himself for Emma

They all go to crash a wedding

oneshot - frenchie (the boys) x gn!reader

tw: mentions of drugs

summary: the hideout is boring, and the only person making your stay worth it agrees

fandom: the boys

a/n: yall just need to hear me out on this one

tags: -

wc: 1.7k

Day two of doing nothing. Apparently we aren’t, but I get the feeling we are.

It was the second day since Butcher left the rest of the group in the underground hideout, declaring that he had a plan. Nobody knew where he went, and he didn’t answer the calls. He left you very few instructions: Don’t let anybody in, and don’t let anybody out. Afraid of what might happen if any of you broke this one rule, you didn’t even order food. That’s how you happened to eat a shit ton of instant ramen in two days. There was plenty of that.

Frenchie walks into the main room, sitting down beside you.

“Bonjour,” breathes out as he leans back on the couch.

“Hey there, man. How you doin’?” You ask. 

“Same old, nothing new, maybe a little tired. What about your fine self?”

“Nothing new.”

“Well, aren’t we a fun pair,” he chuckles.

“Boredom is a fun thing, isn’t it?”

He just shook his head jokingly.

“Oh yeah, loads of fun. Totally my favorite pastime.”

“What’s our next move? Or more like Butcher’s next move…” you ask.

He just rolled his eyes in reply.

“Butcher’s out doing whatever he’s doing, we are supposed to wait. Fun.”

“As always. Where’s the treasured teamwork? I’ll rot here in this basement.”

“And he’ll be sitting pretty in a bar somewhere, sipping on some overpriced bourbon,” he says, shaking his head. 

“Classic Butcher. He’s sitting there, saying ‘Oi, a boa ov oota!’ Strong ass British accent…”

He busts out laughing at the imitation, deeming it way too accurate.

“Yeah, that’s him! Bloody prick, eh?” He says the second part in a deep tone and a more British accent.

“Oi prick, don't disrespect ya briish mate! I’ll rip that bloody face of yours off!”

“Oh my God! I heard that perfectly in his stupid voice! You’re good at impressions.”

“Should I try yours?” You suggest with a smile.

He paused for a second, his expression morphing into a cheeky grin.

“Yeah, go on and give it your best shot, love.”

You clear your throat, then begin.

“Hey, mon cher, look at my new, elite style!” You speak with a passionate, strong french accent. “And then you’d show the weirdest clothing combination in fashion history!”

Frenchie dramatically gasps, his hand on his chest.

“Mon cher, you’re speaking to the king of fashion!” He speaks as he gestures at his eccentric clothes.

“Oh c’mon, you really think black and red striped jeans, a torn black shirt and a military green jacket is ‘style’? No way”

“You’re forgetting my matching chain, love. That’s the most important part. And the eyeliner,” he proudly adds, smirking.

“And the five different earrings,” you continue.

“Exactly. Now you’re catching on, cher,” he nods in agreement.

“I like the guyliner, though.”

He seems taken aback at the sudden statement, but he didn’t mind it at all. Nobody ever compliments his style, and for a reason.

“Yeah? You think it fits me?” He asks with a cheeky grin, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s cool!”

He smirked lightly as he tilted his head.

“You think I’m cool, huh?”

“I said the guyliner is cool. Are you the guyliner?”

“No?”

“Then there, you have your answer.”

He pouted jokingly and dramatically sighed.

“You wound me, love.”

“Excuse me manners, cher,” you reply with a similar pout.

“Oh but of course, ma biche. How rude of me,” he chuckled as he reached forward to pat your head affectionately.

“You didn’t do no wrong, pookie,” you smile.

He just rolled his eyes playfully, ruffling your head with one hand before pulling back.

“You’re a troublemaker, sweetheart,” he sighs with a smile.

“And you’re a sweetheart, troublemaker,” you reply.

He laughed and gave you a lopsided grin.

“Damn, you’re good at this, cher.”

“Unlike you in fashion.”

He gasped audibly and dramatically, bringing a hand to his chest in mock-offense.

“How dare you insult my perfectly curated and stylish outfit! I am deeply wounded by your words!”

“You sound like a little British boy right now,” you chuckle at his words.

Frenchie scoffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest, feigning irritation.

“I’ll have you know, darling, that I sound nothing like that bloody Brit!” He imitated Butcher’s voice.

“Oi, mate, you’re not bad at imitations yourself!” you exclaim.

A bright idea sparked in his head. He chuckled lightly, the mock-offense disappearing from his face.

“Yeah, I’ve had a lot of practice. You think that’s good, you should hear my impression of the others.”

You raise your brows, curiosity eating you up.

“I’m here, ears wide open,” you say.

“Oh? You want more impressions? You really think you can handle my incredible mimicry skills?”

“You handled mine, I’ll see if I can handle yours.”

He smirked, his eyes glinting with playful mischief.

“Alright cher. You asked for it. Who should I imitate first?”

The voice was up to you now.

“Well, I almost said Butcher, but we’ve already been through that. Kimiko doesn’t speak, so she’s out of the question… Wait, could you try Homelander?” you ask after thinking out loud.

Frenchie chuckled and nodded. He pushed himself out slightly, assuming a confident and somewhat cocky demeanor as he began mimicking the “hero”, perfectly capturing his mannerism and voice.

“Are you asking me if I can do a good Homelander impression?” He chimes with a wide smile, his tone sounding serious. Yes, definitely Homelander. “Of course I can. I’m the best at everything, including impressions.”

“You had me at the ‘I’m the best at everything’ part,” you smile. The similarity was undeniable.

“See? I told you I was good,” he chuckles and continues the impression, channeling Homelander’s arrogance and superiority complex.

“And I never doubted it, cher.”

He smirked proudly, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

“Oh, I know you never doubted me. I’m simply too charming and talented for you not to believe me.”

The moment is broken by the door to the basement opening. Butcher steps through it, marching down the steps towards the group. Frenchie paused, immediately snapping out of his playful mood and straightening up in his seat. He glanced over to Butcher as he strides down the stairs, a mix of annoyance and curiosity on his face.

“So… Do you have anything?” You ask Butcher, breaking the silence that engulfed the room until that point.

Butcher shook his head, frustration etched across his face. He leaned against some boxes, crossing his arms. 

“Nah, not a goddamn thing. It’s like the bloke’s dropped off the bloody face of the earth.”

“What’s next? Or are we just going to sit here and look nice?” Hughie asks. 

Butcher let out an irritated huff, but before he could respond, Frenchie chimed in with a sarcastic tone.

“Oh, how exciting. Another day of sitting around doing absolutely nothing, How lovely, innit?”

“As you say, mate,” you jokingly reply, evoking the memory of when not too long ago, you and the man sitting next to you were joking about Butcher’s accent.

Frenchie chuckled at your response, glad that somebody finally shared his annoyance.

“Yeah, that’s about how exciting it is around here. We’d be better off watching paint dry, honestly.”

“I could paint something, and you could watch it dry,” you say in a serious tone.

He just chuckled, a teasing glint in his eyes.

“Oh what a stellar idea, cher. Spending countless hours staring at paint drying, sounds like the absolute best way to waste time.”

“Should I get to work right now? Or should we spend another day doing nothing, and only then watch paint dry?”

“How about we take a minute to savor the sweet thrill of doing absolutely nothing? Maybe play a little game of “stare at the ceiling,” he sighed.

“Oi, how magnificent of an idea! We must get to it this bloody instant, mate!”

He suppressed a laugh, shaking his head slightly at your persistence.

“Ah, yes, the most thrilling and invigorating activity: ceiling gazing! Let the game of boredom commence!”

You throw your head back, eyes now fixed on the white, almost moldy ceiling, the paint visibly peeling off. Frenchie joined in with you, mimicking your position by throwing his head back and staring up at the ceiling as well. He tried to fake intense concentration, but a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips as he spoke.

“Ah, this is the life. Staring at a crumbling ceiling, what a brilliant way to spend our time. Truly exhilarating, cher.”

“Couldn’t have said it better, cher.”

He chuckles and glances over to you, his smirk widening.

“Well, we’re the masters of the art of doing nothing, aren’t we? Who needs exciting adventures and fun missions when we have ceiling watching and paint drying?”

You sigh, straightening up in your seat.

“Don’t we have something down here? Board games, pencils, anything? Or did Butcher forget that he was working with kids in adult bodies and forgot to child-proof everything around here?”

Frenchie thought for a few moments, before a devious glint appeared in his eyes.

“You know, I think we might have some stuff lying around here somewhere. I recall MM bringing some board games last time we had a “team bonding night”, whatever that was supposed to be.”

You audibly laugh, despite meaning to hold it back.

“Team bonding night? The Boys? That’s ridiculous!”

Frenchie chuckled and nodded in agreement.

“Oh, yeah, it was hilariously absurd. MM thought it was a brilliant idea for us to all gather ‘round and play some games, claiming it was a great way to strengthen our team dynamics. As if we haven’t got enough things to worry about already.”

“The closest thing this group has to team-bonding is collective trauma and coke-snorting.”

He laughed heartily at your remark, finding it absolutely accurate.

“You’re not wrong there. We’ve got more trauma and substance abuse issues among us than a damn rehab center.”

“We should change the group name from “The Boys” to “Mentally Ill Individuals and Addicts Who Belong to a Rehab Center or Mental Hospital.”

He chuckled and nodded in agreement.

“That’s a much more fitting name for us, ain’t it? We’d be a hell of a lot more productive in a rehab center or mental hospital, that’s for damn sure.”

“They would let us do something there at least.”

He tilted his head, pretending to be deep in thought.

“True, true. In a rehab center or mental hospital, we could actually be doing something productive, like group therapy sessions or arts and crafts. Hell, maybe they’d even let us watch paint dry and stare at the damn ceiling while they’re at it. Sounds like a goddamn vacation compared to this life.”

[suzannahnatters]

I have a normal amount of feelings about eps 11-15 of MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO

you think these boys are going to fight over our girl but NOPE they're going to take down the villain and clear her name using the power of brotherhood yisss

wait...no...

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT BLIGHTER WOOK WAS NO GOOD

Ohhhh Lady Oh is FLAYING him with a few concise, perfectly judged words

queen yoo this, princess yeon hwa that, who cares about the minor villains? the king is terrible and deserves to lose everything and the whole system is rotten and needs to burn down

can't say how much I love that the iconic rain scene is NOT simply "me big strong man protect frail woman". It's MOSTLY about our girl doing what little she can to protest injustice, and So being the only one with the moral courage to defy his father and join her.

a year goes by. it does nothing for Wook's personality except maybe made it *even worse!*

can't say I'm fond of the decision to make it look like the king is Doing His Best, Really! and that all the Shenanigans are the fault of the scheming women!

My soul longs for an OPHELIA-esque ending where our girl simply opts out of the Nonsense. But I'd settle for a Shakespearean ending where the presiding patriarch is depicted as deeply morally ambiguous and just as terrible as everyone else. We shall see -_-

anyway BAEK AH, DON'T YOU DIE ON ME

ahahaha this show wants you to know that the horrible king gets to be reunited blissfully after death with his one true love, whom he treated like dirt, ignored, got pregnant, and then executed for a crime she didn't commit!!! THANKS I HATE IT

on the other hand there's also a subplot in which a princess wants to kill the king who slaughtered her whole family but this mission is complicated when she accidentally falls in love with one of the princes and I do respect a show that just offhandedly includes such a trope

oh yesss, our girl finally figures out the depths of Wook's duplicity and cuts him off without a shilling, now THAT is satisfying

vale Prince Guyliner, you DIDN'T deserve any better but you died very prettily without anyone trying to make you out to be A Saint, Really

at this stage I'm wondering who bites it next. my money is on Mu or possibly the not-so-awful queen.

I was right. Vale Mu, you died, but not before becoming every bit as terrible as the last king

on the other hand it looks like if you trade in one prince you get another back, nifty!

anyway this episode was full of tragedy, skulduggery and people making awful choices for relatable reasons and all these sweet boys are all at each others' throats and it's the finest vintage pain I've experienced in a long time, I love it so much

the romance is working so! well! for me!

the way So has now happily waited THREE YEARS (I know, give the man an award for Basic Decency shush)

the way our girl steps into Lady Oh's shoes T_T

two adults have a misunderstanding & actually TALK IT OUT?

So apologising? what's this? a kdrama male lead actually APOLOGISING to the female lead? instead of demanding apologies from her???

So apologising for a promise he never made explicitly but only implied? to someone of a lower rank?

SKIN WATERED, CROPS CLEAR

I did NOT expect to feel this positive about a male lead who just got MARRIED to his UNDERAGE NIECE, YIKES

huaaargh I'm a huge fan of how this show started out with a girl in fairy-floss-pink dresses charming 8 cute princes and now it's this suffocatingly bleak steadily-ratching doom-laden Shakespearean tragedy

best family drama I've seen since Shah Jahan's succession crisis. everyone's climbing across each other's dead body to grab the throne or stay alive.

except our girl, who's doing her best with what she's got

Wook, in a rare moment of honesty: "Are you going to become the King's dog and kill Eun? ...You and I are both struggling to survive. That is the fate of a prince who does not become a King. One must submit in order to provide protection."

ajks? our girl has just found out who poisoned the last king...just by ASKING?

And she was told. Because she's powerless. Because she's not a threat. Because who can she ever tell. *faint screaming*

this is just one of my favourite things in fiction--the power of the powerless

the WAY!!! she has taken on this role of a wise woman/prophetess! best use of time travel EVER

"what could have caused the variable that carried the 3rd prince to the throne?" asks the court astrologer and So is like oh heck

so...their love IS changing history? but for the better, or worse?

oh no, Eun and Bear Girl finally (after what, 3 years of marriage) got as far as first base and discovered a mutual appreciation for toy boats, if this leads to their untimely deaths I will be extremely miffed

well, of all the young idiots who were SUPPOSED to run away together and start a toyshop and a dojo...

how am I supposed to stop watching this AUGH
