#and ok i mostly disliked hearing about him bc of his fans. but also i remember 'take me to church' music video pissed me off when it first

[caluski]

if youre hearing hozier's music blasting from someone's house it must be me. i cant believe he grew on me so much (and i cant believe francesca used to be my least favorite off his new album!). i blame it on żmija's influence.

JJK Thoughts~

I just finished binging JJK, and I have to say, that it wasn't till like Sea2 that I actually started to click with this show, but now I think I'm here to stay! :D Here's just some general thoughts.

BTW idk if I'll start reading the manga or if I'll be anime only, but plz don't spoil anything past Sea2!! I also know of a movie, which I will be watching sometime this week, so no spoilers!

FIRST OF ALL, Mappa's animation is freaking insaaane, ESPECIALLY the battles, they're eyecandy!! 💕💕 My wholehearted respects to all the animators, esp hearing the studio issues. About the production, is it just me or was Sea1 lacking in some regards? The animation is just fine, but the way characters deliver lines, some really awkward pauses (or too short), the music being a hit or miss (like suddenly being intense for no reason, little/no build up, just doesn't fit the mood?). The genre they picked was good, but I think it could've been done better? Idk but it was a struggle to stay immersed at times, though it might just be me being picky. Sea2 was sooo much better in all regards to the point where the difference is hella noticeable. Side tangent, but the OP's all slap, my favorites in order would be 4, 1, 3, and 2!! ED's are so sweet too!!

Okie now story, (mostly) spoiler free! Though I think the main trio (Yuji, Nobara, Megumi) wasn't the strongest bond-wise, at least in Sea1, I really grew to love all their dynamics-- and I will say they really made me feel the feels later 😭 They're so siblings-coded I LOVE THEM! Idk where I'd rank Yuji in fav MC's because other than being good at fights, early on he was a little flat (to me) character-wise. Anyways, Sea2 gave him a massive boost in my eyes, def made up for that. He's so nuanced now, and I can't wait to see where his story goes! I hope there's hope of something with Nobara, and I'm super intrigued with Megumi's story progression!! Um, Nanami, top 3 probably. I think I adore him (platonically). Iykyk 💔 The classmates all left a decent impression on me, though I will say I don't think they're too prominent, so lowkey kept forgetting most 😅 Maki is best girl tho, 100%. I love Miwa, I eventually liked Mechamaru (ship? 👀), Panda is Panda, Todo always comes in clutch even if I'm ~eh~ on him, and basically I wanna see a little more of everyone! And I miss Junpei 🥲

I will say though, the very heart of this show are definitely the villains!! The type you hate and love to hate because they're that good (bad?). Mahito is a damn menace and loves being a menace- idek how bro keeps dodging death, even avoiding a swing from Gojo, but MAN. I hate him. Jogo is so interesting because he has so much potential, but is so freaking ridiculous sometimes, but then I lowkey understand the grind he wanna be on, so yknow kudos to him. I can see him as a fan favorite. Hanami was ok, definitely weaker in my eyes, but they left a good impression for their dynamic in the group. Choso idk what to think about him but I might like him?? His little intervention in the final episodes really left me w questions, so I'm hooked. I won't say I love him but he has potential to shoot up to my favs! TOJI!!! Talk about an antagonist that legit made me punch the air AKDHDLAL HE'S SO GOOD. I honestly got scared for everyone in his near vicinity bc that guy is unstoppable, and even though I'm supposed to dislike him, again, bros on a destructive grind and I respect that. (Pull up Zen'in clan 😤)

Alright, so uh, the big three eh? Gojo, Geto, Sukuna. I'LL ADD SPOILERS HERE. I love how this world is set up revolving around the fact that since Gojo is "the strongest," he bears the weight of responsibility the hardest amongst sorcerers for failures and accomplishments. I don't blame him for wanting to turn against the system that put them all in that spot in the first place. Lowkey his development between seeing everyone as lesser in his past, to now (still arrogant smtimes) wanting his pupils to join him in that title as strongest. Yeah, he's an OP character, so what. I can see why he's a fan favorite on story alone. He acts self-centered, but after knowing his story, I can see how he fakes it, what he really wants to achieve, and how he's grown to care for others. Idk where his story goes from here, but I'm definitely ready for more Gojo. Okie, GETO! What an interesting villain?? Legit took the best-friend-turn-evil trope and added one tragic spin to it AAAAH. His past friendship and playful rivalry with Gojo made his change of ideals (I totally feel like there was power jealousy btw) so much more impactful. Gojo starting off as the one who didn't care too much for others while Geto wanted to save people, switching over so Gojo wanted to find/make people just as strong to protect others while Geto, feeling left behind, found no point in saving humanity and their struggles. It's too good!? I think there's a hint real-Geto's not gone completely, but I also don't think he's actually coming back, as sweet as that'd be. I feel like there is backstory missing (the movie maybe?) so I'll try to see what or if I'm missing anything on my own. Finally Sukuna, and man what a way to depict an OP freaking villain! Like ok, sometimes it was hard to take him seriously, being over the top and all, but I love how rare his actual interventions are. It makes you give your complete attention to him when he does, wondering what the heck he'll do next. Also, his conversation with Jogo added a new layer to him that I liked, with respecting even Jogo of all people. I haven't seen many protag/antag dynamics like Yuji and Sukuna before, but I'm so intruiged in how long they're gonna keep up this switching thing? Sukuna must desire his freedom after all. I love how he presents himself, and how terrified people are of him, though it wasn't till Sea2 that I feel like he was finally able to show us how he can back up that presence with real power. I cannot lie, I lowkey fangirled at those scenes (bro literally forced a movie screen aspect ratio lmaooo) and also thinking how they actual heck anyone is supposed to beat him 😭 I dun think Yuji's fists are enough, and I'm lowkey concerned whether even Gojo could take him on. Like, yeah Gojo's the strongest, but Sukuna just nuked a city ez bro. Beautiful presentation on how to actually make your villains, well villains. :]

Erm, overall, I think I finally came around to really liking this series, despite the rocky start with Sea1. The power system is cool once I finally figured out the terms, it's got endearing characters that I wish I could save (😭), and cool tropes and story I wanna see the resolution for. I'll probably be mulling over this show more in the coming weeks, so prepare for that! 🫡 I'll be watching the movie and making my mind up for the manga or anime soon. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE, THANKS FOR READING.

22-24 for all of them

Favorite thing/part about sex—intimacy, role-playing, etc. Ber: the intimacy definitely. though he can get kinky, honestly his favourite position is just missionary because he wants to look into simba's eyes~ ew~ Hades: the release, definitely lol. He also likes the power dynamics in it-- likes to dominate, likes the high lol. Merida: similar to Hades, they would mostly love to dominate and probably wanna be praised lolol Nemo: Nemo loves fun, goofy sex. He likes to be silly and laugh with his partner the most. But also: compliment him during sex, thank u Pip: N/A this is private information Jun: N/A this is private information Amity: N/A she is exploring Snow: Snow's best sex she's ever had was with Estella and that was in part because...they had a lot of it and got to explore a lot of different things together. She also loves power dynamics. She loves roleplay. I think her favourite part was just the trust between partners to like-- be silly or be dangerous or to be vulnerable and so rip that Estella ripped that trust away and why she's had difficulty since!!! Penny: N/A she is exploring <3 Karen: They are all about new new new! They think it's a great way to get to know someone, learn their kinks and their likes/dislikes lol. Remy: Intimacy much like Berlioz, he wants things to be slooow and steamy~ and all about connection Least favorite thing/part about sex—cleanup, setup, etc

Ber: setup probably that would bore him to tears. he is very into spontaneous sex, loves sex where he shouldnt have sex Hades: answered Merida: emotions <3 keep that shit to yourself Nemo: clean-up he is veeery lazy and will moan and groan about taking a shower and wiping off etc (which sucks bc he loves~ messy sex. big fan of lube in this house) Pip: as a demisexual person most of sex honestly grosses pip out unless he is totally in love with you. in the future i do hc that he actually does not prefer anal. he'll do it when he's in the mood but is way more into other forms of sex. Jun: this is a stressful question for jun we can't answer that due to his anxieties Amity: n/a exploring Snow: for snow, sex is a ritual. if it's good sex, all parts of it are fun: the set-up is sexy, the foreplay is sexy, the clean-up and aftercare is sexy. She romanticizes every step idk what to tell u i guess if she feels like her partner isn't into it as much and she's putting in all the effort then she'd not like aspects of it lol Penny: n/a exploring Karen: actually is like snow, tho less sentimental lmfao, they're just like, bad part about sex??? its sex??? i like sex!!! Remy: also clean-up bc he's a bit of a neat freak so even tho he loooooves sex he'd probably get persnickety about the after.

. A song they would fuck/get fucked to

Ber: 3WW by alt-j... wow alt-j throwback Hades: uhhhh... he'd never think to turn on music. i guess if they dont want the kids to hear he's cranking up the classical music channel FLMAOOO Merida: also would never think to turn on music sorry Nemo: would fuck himself to robbie's music and send it to robbie. probs would do like, bazzi or justin bieber otherwise fsalkf;aslkfj Pip: too many to name. ariana grande on repeat. Jun: this is so embarrassing he doesnt want to answer any of these. like water by wendy Amity: it'll be taylor swift muna boygenius etc Snow: entirely depends on the mood and the plot ok like is this a bridgerton roleplay. is snow tied up in satin and gagged? these are very different soundtrack choices Penny: it'll be taylor swift maude latour caroline polachek etc Karen: macarena by blitzers. also just the macarena. you know the one. thrwo in some cha cha slide too why not Remy: soft and tender by november ultra

Share a sample line of dirty-talk

this sdlkafja;lskdjfasdlkfjad;lkfajsdf;lkajlkdajlkjal i refuse to do this one im sorry. the cringe is 2 much for me.

Vampire!Reader x Egos Headcanons

General

Not much PDA

Not much going out in general

You have to cover your whole body when you do, unless it’s nighttime

You spend much of your time inside or in the forest

You’re basically nocturnal

You do drink blood, and you don’t need a lot of it

You drink human blood only if they give permission

You don’t kill people

You know or know of some other supernatural creatures that exist

You are friends with a werewolf. One specifically. You know the one.

Darkiplier

You both are edgy as all hell it’s perfect!

Politely asks you not to bite him

a) because he’s not human and b) because it’ll hurt

You both are very calm and well-spoken. So. not much happens.

However, you are both, in fact, dumb bitches, so things are still entertaining

“My darling, would you like some garli-mmm nevermind...”

You go out with him sometimes on romantic moonlit walks

You don’t have to wear as much then

You make him get a pet, a black cat specifically

He loves it

You named it Darko, Dark for short, and he hates the name

Like he hates the name a lot

It is irrational how much he hates the fucking name

He calls it DA

He never explains why

When you want blood he’ll trap a deer or something

You go into the forest and drink a little of its blood

He’s surprised

“What am I, a werewolf?”

He’ll ask you about supernatural creatures, and how to defend against them

You’re pretty sure he’s an eldritch entity so you aren’t sure why he’s asking YOU

He won’t ask how you became a vampire, that seems personal

He never gets startled when you turn into a bat

He can hear your lil wingbeats from a mile away

Sometimes you’ll sleep as a bat and he just smiles at you hanging from the fan

Fine with you not interacting with others, like he does much of that…

Just likes hanging out in your fucking giant victorian mansion with you

Wilford

We all know that his type is, in fact, edgy bitch

Therefore, you are perfect

Dark clothes? Check

Edgy backstory? Probably

Kinda scary? Oh absolutely

And he loves you for that!

He doesn’t want to be a vampire, but he fuckin loves your teeth

He’ll ask you to bare them and then he’ll do a happy wiggle afterwards

He loves dancing with you, slow or fast

It’s always romantic

He’s basically a god so like. Anything you ask for he’s gotchu

You said you were hungry and he fucking kidnapped someone

You said you were hungry, that was on you

You then explain that you don’t need a whole FUCKING PERSON

He then steals some blood bags from the hospital

“Oh, calm down! They have enough!”

Likes taking you out, so you go on night walks a lot.

You’re not used to social interaction, so he makes sure to steer you away from people

Unless you want to talk to them, then he starts up a conversation and lets you take over

You don’t understand people, and neither does he! It’s great.

Likes when you turn into a bat

He doesn’t know why, it just makes him happy

You made him adopt a black cat

He named it Colonel Whiskers

Loves you and your castle and your weird ass little quirks

Actor

Bite him.

BITE. HIM.

LET HIM BE IMMORTAL

You refuse for the sole reason that he is a dick.

You do get along because you both are, in fact, pretentious

You wear those silk robes around the house, and he gets mad at you

HE is the sexy mysterious one, COME ON!

At least you won’t have an edgier backstory than him…

Likes slow dancing with you

Very much enjoys your Aesthetic

Believes that he too belongs in a Victorian era castle isolated from the world

Loves the dark romance

Is a Fancy Boy

Was fully prepared to murder someone for you to drink their blood

Surprised when you said it wasn’t necessary???

Buys a horse or smthn

Asks about supernatural beings and which are immortal

He asks that a lot

He worries you sometimes.

Hates it when you turn into a bat

You’re small and you fly around and you’re fucking GROSS

He doesn’t. He doesn’t like animals very much. Besides dogs I mean.

Buys you clothes because you’ve been wearing the same shit for fucking EVER

Don’t worry, they’re all black, dark purple, or dark red

Sometimes you decide to go on a walk and he tags along

Possessive bitch

Thinks you’ll leave him if you talk to other people

He scares them or leads you away

Was fine with a black wolfdog you brought home after searching for food

Names it Phoenix, and you call it Nix for short

Is deeply in love with you, but will never say or show it

Yancy

He thinks you’re wonderful!

Originally a bit mean to you

He thought YOU thought you were better than him

He saw the fangs and backed off

He asked about them and you answered, so you got along

Asked if he could be a vampire

You asked if he wanted to be immortal. He declined.

Suggested you drink his blood when you were hungry

You said it wasn’t necessary, but he pushed

Stared at you the whole time

“what’s your issue” “this is very… intimate.”

On that note: has an issue with intimacy

You’re very cold naturally, so you’d want to cuddle

He awkwardly shifts away

Once he gets more comfortable, he might cuddle with you

Loves the silk robes you own, they’re so fucking COMFY

AND THE SILK SHEETS?? Heaven

Absolutely loves all the fancy shit you have

You teach him how to waltz and he teaches you how to tap dance

You have a very equal give and take relationship with everything, it’s great

Neither of you like social interaction

You will if you HAVE to but mostly keep to yourselves

You love Yancy's prison buddies

They love you too

Asked if you knew mothman

You couldn’t tell if he was joking

He absolutely Was Not joking

He sings to you sometimes

It echoes through the place and the Aesthetic man

Hates it when you turn into a bat

Bad. No. Stop. Scary.

A small animal flying at him is a no go

Alternatively: get him a pet dog and he will love you forever

He names it Elvis. Yeah you know why.

Overall loves you and your aesthetic, and you could tell even before you got together

Illinois

Excited but doesn't show it

He's met PLENTY of supernatural creatures

Ghosts, gods, there was a thing with that werewolf one time…

(He has the scars to prove it)

But a vampire? That's new

He doesn’t live at your place because he travels a lot

He still stays there sometimes between adventures

Uncomfortable with how clean it is

You are. An immortal being. And you take the time to clean. What the fuck.

“Would YOU wanna spend eternity in a dusty ass mansion?”

His flirts are often about your fangs

You threatened to bite him and he said “promise?”

Said you could drink his blood, but you said no

“I don’t know what the fuck you got in that bloodstream”

Doesn’t do walks but takes you on adventures

If it’s a cave. And you turn into a bat.

ONLY if you turn into a bat

Sidenote: he fucking adores when you turn into a bat

He just thinks they’re neat

Uncomfortable with how soft everything you own is

NOTHING is soft in nature

Except. Like a lot of things. But don’t tell him he’ll get mad

Doesn’t really want a pet bc he’ll never be home to deal with it

He’ll be fine if you get one though

He wants to name it Nathan Drake he doesn’t care what it is

NERD(see: Uncharted)

You hang out normally mostly

He refuses to acknowledge his feelings for you

Not after the mermaid incident.

He eventually will, i promise

Magnum

He’s a pirate, he doesn’t care

He’s seen sirens, ancient spirits, probably Davey Jones at some point

A vampire? Low on the list of dangerous creatures

He has a whole ship made outta wood he’s not that worried

You don't really sail with him often

When you do, you're seen as a threat to anyone and everyone

He loves that about you

Warned you not to bite him or he'd stake you

You promised not to and that was enough for him

You get along with the crew fairly well

However do NOT turn into a bat around them

They will not hesitate to shoot

"UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT, MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS!

You can maybe do it around Magnum and only Magnum

Doesn't like your house

He belongs to the sea

But can and will steal your sheets for himself

A pirate can have a little silk, as a treat

Offered his crew's blood to drink after a while

You declined because you don't know what the fuck kinda diseases they have

Doesn't really want a pet. He can't tell them what to do.

You bought an axolotl and he loves it a lot

Its name is Delta but he has deemed it Magnum Jr

Can't really. Fit. In any suits you have

He has to go out and get one personally tailored if he wants it

Likes dancing with you

Slow dancing. To Danny Boy.

He can't dance but that's ok he tries

You talk about land creatures and he talks about ocean creatures

So far he despises werewolves and skinwalkers

He likes spending as much time with you possible

He doesn't much like the idea of a relationship bc of his uh line of work

But he loves you

[tarantulas4davey]

since you came back i wanted to send you some more youtuber headcanons but these were on the spot so dont get your hopes too high (also these are all about al and i think some of these might have been suggested before so whoops)

al has his minecraft skin set as the phantom bc hes a nerd and the first time fans saw it there was an influx of fanart of al as the phantom and race as christine

at first people thought al was playing up how self conscious he was for more sympathy because sympathy=donations but one day he accidentally forgot to end his stream and you could just hear him sigh and start shit talking himself and it wasnt until someone donated some money that he realized he didnt end his stream and the chat was basically just "baby no 🥺"

al has an anonymous tumblr account and will reblog some incorrect quotes about him and race with "this totally happened" and everyone just thinks its another fan until one day he confirms that the account is his and everyone freaked out

al doesnt like to eat on stream and once he mentioned he hadnt had anything to eat that day and his chat bullied him into taking a break and to eat off camera

once he had media donations on while streaming and like every fan made animation that was donated he said "oh ive seen this one before i love this one!" and made sure to specifically shout out the artist

they did a 72 hour charity livestream because theyre masochists and al didnt want to fall asleep on stream because hes ✨shy✨ but eventually he passed out and everyone got to learn that he talks in his sleep

BEKAH THESE ARE SO SHHSHDHDHD OMG

- this nerd i stg- he would adore every second of it, and race uses it as a reason to attempt to belt think of me at any given moment. key word: attempt

- IT WOULD SO HAPPEN UGH i love him so much and as the person these dumbass fictional fans are based on i am HEARTBROKEN. ‘baby no 🥺’ is right dhdhdh. but i also think of the donation popping up and him looking like a deer in headlights and then just ‘oh shi-‘ and then the stream ends and it’s kinda funny but i’m still very sad

- HE WOULD FUCKIN DO THIS. tbf it’s not a reach at all cause he’s already had an anonymous youtube that he comments with so nobody s h o u l d be surprised but everyone still is. can you imagine the heart attacks the fans that post this stuff would have when they realize he’s actually seen it omg

- he doesn’t particularly dislike eating on stream, and is actually pretty ok with it if race or just someone else is actually there with him, but he hates the prospect of extended ‘awkward’ silences while he eats so he just,,,,,, avoids it. he needs to take a break off camera anyway so he actually listens when they yell at him for not eating and let’s his mods blast music in area chat and let’s everyone talk amongst themselves

- yesssss i’ve mentioned it a couple times but al and race are SUPER fucking specific about giving artist’s credit. mostly cause jack drilled it into their brains for all of middle and high school, as well as every chance he got to do it after that, too. they also just- they respect the work that goes into having talent like that, and make sure everyone knows who put the time and sweat into making something incredible.

- “because they’re masochists” PFFFFT PLSSSS- mark is positively quaking his brand is being stolen. also not to be That Guy™️ but it wasn’t that embarrassing til he said race’s name, then twitter ✨fucking died✨ and he never lived it down

THANK YOU MWAH ILY

[gayregis]

ok i swear I'll stop this series of asks soon i just wanna say i just. hate the way netflix-only or netflix-mainly fans make geralt n jaskier call each other pet names. i hate it so much. like imo i do think they'd have some but half of them are ironic (and also for me personally they literally only work in polish bc english is just wack like that) and it's Definitely not all that shit ive seen ppl use for them

no ur so right (and dont feel like you have to stop sending asks!! i LOVE asks!!!)

and yeah i feel this… they’re playful with each other in the books so it’s not super lovey-dovey gooey shit. also i feel like especially for geralt, who sees through stupid bullshit, and for dandelion, who says stupid bullshit for a living, that stuff would be really tiring and not that appealing for them. i’m talking about how dandelion starts waxing poetry to detchka in eternal flame, “forest dryad! sylph! thine eyes are like azure lakes…” … it’s not so much a gesture of pure love as it is pure instinct for him, and can you imagine geralt calling dandelion something like “my lovey dovey little songbird” ?? the hair stood up on the back of my neck just typing that out. i totally agree that they have some, but half of them are ironic, and i think nicknames being linguistically specific is really cool, i think its more genuine that way, you’re not restrained by “trying to make it work” in every possible language.

and… also… i feel that for geralt and dandelion, just hearing them say each other’s names with honesty and care is mostly good enough for them… 

i mean, geralt as a witcher is met with all kinds of volatile hatred and disdainful names that just roll off the tongue, horrible kinds of slander and terms, probably the most mild of which we hear in the books/games as “freak,” and even when it’s neutral, like “vagabond” or “traveller” or singling him out based on a physical characteristic of his mutations, like “white-hair” or “cat eyes,” it’s still dehumanizing. and when he does give his name out when he’s handling a contract, and is called “geralt” or more likely just “witcher,” it’s in the context of them giving him commands, information, or still with fright in their voices because no one likes a witcher. geralt doesn’t hear his name said very often, and never with familiarity or kindness… just hearing his name said in a caring manner is a lot for him. by saying his name, dandelion is also saying that he enjoys his company, that he’s not going to leave him out of revulsion, not ever…

as they are opposites… dandelion hears his name said a lot. if it’s not a crowd, it’s himself in the bathroom mirror. he’s recognized on the street, usually in a good way… sometimes in a “oh shit” way (if it’s a creditor, or lover, or husband or wife of a lover, or… you get the idea…)  but in all of these situations, his name isn’t ever really said with familiarity, either. no one in that cheering crowd knows him. his lovers barely get to know him. i don’t think he really even knows himself under the persona and pen name and forgotten childhood, beyond general likes and dislikes (sex, wine, and poetry: good, people who i’ve pissed off: bad). but geralt doesn’t see him as master dandelion, poet, and he doesn’t see him as julian de lettenhove, so… he just sees him as… who he is… underneath it all… something that dandelion is still trying to figure out for himself. i also think it shows how geralt can actually be honest and domestic with dandelion, unlike the world that keeps congratulating him. it’s not “master dandelion, play us an encore,” but “dandelion, damnit, stop stealing the covers”

tldr in completely opposite ways, geralt and dandelion have the same issue: no one ever gets close to them, because they never let anyone get close to them. but they let each other get close. 

tldr for the tldr they have identity issues so hearing their names be said by the other is already really emotional for them

[trainthief]

hi james do u have any advice on how to get into classical music? i usually listen to punk/rock, and tend to get really agitated with classical & most jazz for some reason. i wanna get into classical bc my bf loves it a lot and id love to be able to enjoy it together (or at least for me to b able to be w him while he listens without going ape) thank u & i love ur blog

Hey, no worries, that’s a pretty common feeling. I think for most people it comes from the idea that there’s something specific they’re supposed to be getting out of a piece, which then becomes frustrating when it doesn’t manifest for them. Frankly one of the nice things about both classical and jazz is you can put a lot of thought into listening to them, or none at all, and if anyone dislikes your approach that’s just their own personal snobby problem. Of course, it IS possible that you don’t like either genre, and that’s ok too. But I think it’s likely you’ve mostly heard stuff along the lines of Satie and Art Tatum, and that’s just not your jam. There’s subsets in both genres that I think given your affinity for punk and rock you might really enjoy. I’ll give you a few examples, which you should just put on in the background while you focus on other things, no need to listen to them while in a perfect zen state: 

Classical: 

 - Dies Irae by Verdi  (translates loosely to “Day of Reckoning”. Absolutely terrifying to listen to, especially if you imagine seeing a choir shriek that at you live) 

- Night on a Bald Mountain by Mussorgsky (Really great composer for evocative imagery, I’d also recommend putting on the Fritz Reiner recordings of his Pictures at an Exhibition if you’re liking him. One of my favorite classical albums) 

- Mars, Bringer of War by Holst (If it sounds a bit like the music for the original Star Wars trilogy, it’s because this piece heavily influenced John William’s writing) 

- Four Seasons: Summer Mvmt 3 by Vivaldi (A good example of the classical equivalent of shredding a guitar solo, lots of fun to watch live because all the instrumentalists are going absolutely ham, and REALLY fun to play) 

Jazz: 

- Hurricane Season by Trombone Shorty  (Trombone Shorty is my man, and this song grooves so well there’s no way you can’t love it) 

- Brooklyn by Youngblood Brass Band (In kind of the same style as above, big band brassy Dixieland-inspired modern jazz with a rock twist. It just jams!) 

- Super Jet by Coltrane (This one is more of an experiment. It’s from a style of jazz called Bebop, which got started up because musicians were sick of simplifying their music and keeping it to a rhythm that audiences could dance to. Not everyone likes bebop, it’s that chaotic sound that some can find off-putting. But the punk rock attitude of it might appeal to you) 

- Unsquare Dance by Brubeck  (We’ll cap it off with a classic, this one’s fun and easy to get into.) 

Hope that helps! I also want to mention that you shouldn’t feel the need to know anything about classical or jazz in order to enjoy it. The fans are just annoying and love to gatekeep, ignore them. If you like what you hear you like what you hear, just go from there. I’d also recommend one of my favorite Ted talks by one of my favorite classical interpreters, on this very subject: Benjamin Zander - The Transformative Power of Classical Music 

[wintersoldeer]

ok here's some totally incoherent thoughts about endgame that i just have to write down or i might explode spoilers: i loved it also actual spoilers spoilers very spoilery spoilers

1. Steve and the goddddamn mjölnir!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! when thor, iron man and cap were like 'aw yeahhh we're gonna fight thanos' i was like what the heckie is steve even doing there, supersoldier or not he's just a human. then thor drops his hammer and i’m like oh my gods please literally crossing my fingers. then thor’s fight is not going so well and oh no he definitely needs someone to save him! i’m like ohhhhhmygooddss. and THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS HELL YEAHHHHH

2. steve & peggy dance. yes. just yes. fucking finally. i love it. it was perfect i cried

3. clint should’ve died. (finally haha) he was my fave since before the avengers and i was so sure he was going to die back then, but then he didn’t and look what’s became of him since.......... i had a violent flashback to watching age of ultron for the first time and for the first time just hoping that my fave character (that would be clint) would just die, bc they’re screwing his character over so badly........ and most definitely it. should.  not. have. been. natasha. who. died.  that was such a bullshit i mean WHAT THE FUCK????  i mean maybe clint and natasha were the only remaining avengers that actually loved each other (?¿¿????¿¿¿?¿ tho that’s just flimsy, i’m just trying to....idek) and that’s why it had to be them on that stupid fuckin death cliff, but why did natasha have to die?? just because clint had a family (still with no actual characterization, not that i even care, or maybe i would if the movies had given me any reason to...) to return to and she didn’t??that fucking sucks and what sucks even more is that not only was natasha the only character that died (i’m not even counting tony, bc that was very Different) but she’s the only original female avenger AND it’s the same stupd fucking rock that the only original female gotg gamora died in such a bullshit way just last movie??? goddddd i hated that so much like maybe if she hadn’t been the first one to die and all the original avengers would’ve died as was i kinda hoping (tho i love happy endings so i didn’t actually hope that it would happen..), maybe then i would be okay with her being dead. now i am very much not okay, and that means very much not okay in a angry way, not in a sad way

4. speaking of death: to me tony’s was perfect. i might not be the biggest fan of how he always got the most screentime and a bigger role than other characters, but i can’t deny that he definitely is the heart of the whole mcu and it had to be him who saves the day in the end and what else could it have been that a very tony-like self-sacrifice..... god i cried. i loved that he got a funeral (even tho natasha didn’t...) and i loved his funeral with all the people and fricking harley and then the kid saying how much she likes cheeseburgers and the frickin ‘proof that tony stark has a heart’ and sfghkklkghhhh

5. i gasped audibly when i noticed that natasha was wearing the arrow necklace

6. i kinda forgot that vision ever even existed..... in the end i first thought that wanda was talking about pietro and then i was like ok well maybe not maybe she���s talking about tony or something WHICH MAKES NO SENSE LOL i don’t even remember what she actually said, but as was pointed out to me, she was probably talking about vision. who was a thing that existed... whoops

7. ugh i hate brucenat, i really thought we were over that shit already. i also very much disliked that they actually decided to go with professor hulk, but idk w/e i don’t care that much. but natasha’s death sucked tho and the one thing i do not want to see is bruce’s pain or whatever when the movie didn’t even give me the time or reason to actually grieve for her goddd that whole thing was such a bullshit

8. i did not like that thor was treated as a joke most of his screentime........

9. that stevepeggy dance tho. love it. it’ll probably take me at least another seven years to get over it

10. i fricking adored the whole going back in time thing, especially the 2012. the callbacks and the humor really worked for me, the elevator scene straight from cap2 but reversed and hail hydra and steve fighting steve and loki’s expressions when things go wrong and goddhhh i loved it all aaaaaaa, that was the moment when i was like ok i need to see this movie again immediately.... also the fact that their time travel rules were that they were just creating new paths or w/e i guess, and not actually changing what happened to them specifically... good. so many aus

11. that final battle was so perfectly epic

12. tho shouldn’t valkyrie’s (who really just doesn’t have a real name, now does she..) horse have died after being shot haha

13. i loved that clint had the gauntlet for so long, like he’s definitely the Least Qualified Person to keep it safe, why would that be his job, it was amazing

14. i hated natasha’s death with burning passion, but i loved how she and clint fought each other over who gets to throw themselves off that cliff. tho i really hoped that their ‘yeahh we know what we have to do’ would’ve rather meant that they decided to just throw red skull down bc who even knows if it even actually needs love sacrifice or w/e, a soul is a soul is a soul

15. i loved the human jarvis whatever-his-first-name-was cameo and i really need to finally watch/rewatch agent carter

16. i really liked the tony howard scene even if i thought it felt a bit iffy, bc i feel like there’s so much more to unpack w/ those daddy issues.... but maybe that scene means that there is that one universe where howard was actually a good dad. i want to believe that. yeah. (maybe not but let me dream)

17. i like how they totally forgot that sharon carter ever even existed

18. damn that moment when black panther comes through that portal

19. damn that moment when gi ant-man is giant

20. damn that final battle was so epic

21. damn that steve with mjölnir

22. this movie was SO GOOD when it was good and so mehhh when it was bad, and i’m really glad that it was just good enough that i can forgive overlook all of its flaws. (tho i will not forgive what they did to natasha, even if i can mostly ignore it when thinking about how good most of the rest of the movie was) but idk if it would’ve been perfect, maybe i wouldn’t have survived like there’s this One Huge Thing (natasha) that really brings down the movie that otherwise would’ve been just Amazing

23. i don’t know if my heart has ever beaten as fast as when steve finally picks up the hammer. never while watching a movie, at least

24. i love that carol has her short haircut, bc it bothered me so much in cpn marvel that she should not have been able to see anything when her hair was just constantly on her face haha

25. i feel nothing but seething resentment towards clint’s stupid family and that stupid family man role he is stuck with

26. why was natasha’s hair so weird and ugly. why can’t it just be red??

27. clint’s hair was weird and ugly too and i think i have finally kinda given up on mcu!clint (tho he has those small Very Good moments and i cry for what could’ve been.....we could’ve have it aaaaaalllll.... i think i’m going to watch swat (2003) again and still pretend it’s the clint backstory movie i deserve haha, it’s been ages since i’ve seen it idk if it would still work for me, i’m gonna try)

28. i love nebula tho

29. i loved the trip down memory lane! frigga!!!! the way the continuation of the avengers capturing loki just felt so natural and like it probably happened just like that! nebula and rhodey judging quill’s singing and dancing haha yes! everything! just as i was hoping it would be!

30. doesn’t really have anything to do with this movie but: i still firmly believe that coulson never died. i still firmly believe that pietro never died. 

31. falcon cap helll yeah!!

32. i guess i’ll never get my strike team delta movie with clintasha best friends soulmates and with buckynat and the red room.........  goddd there really should’ve been a black widow movie after cap2. like that was The Perfect Spot for a black widow movie, it’s really a crime that there isn’t one, and even if they make a black widow movie now, it’ll definitely be too little too late.

33. like..... a for effort..... for that female heroes girl power.... ughhhh.... scene, i guess, but that. does. not. cut. it. when you have just killed natasha

34. things i really wished they would say in some perfect moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble!” “i am iron man”. things they did say in those moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble” “i am iron man”, gogssgddd that was perfect (ok i also really did wish steve would’ve said the “i could do this all day” in the fight but couldn’t say bc the movie had just made fun of that.. i’m kinda sad but haha it’s not that big of a deal, maybe if he hadnt said it in civil war which i dont like but well...)

35. haha people are already complaining about the steve going back thing and how it’s definitely not moving on and erasing character development or whatever and HA. i finally got my stevepeggy dance i don’t care about anything else i am so happy!!!!!

36. i am so glad i managed to avoid any spoilers bc i hear that there was some pretty massive ones going around??¿?¿?

37. also: ok from here on out i am not here for any of you negative nancys complaining (probably very reasonable complaints idec) about the movie, god i really wish it was 2012 again

38. in final thoughts: i absolutely loved it and i love that it turns out that i’m apparently still very much marvel trash........ if natasha hadn’t died, especially in such a bullshit way, i would’ve been able to overlook everything else that was kinda meh about the movie and just purely and blindly loved it. i still did love it, a lot, but now there’s that bitter aftertaste.....

ok now, maybe that’s enough rambling and repeating myself....... i’m going to need to see it again asap

//EDIT

39. I FORGOT TO MENTION IT BC I FORGOT ABOUT IT but goooooooooodddd i loved nebula and tony playing that game in the beginning and tony letting nebula win ääääää

[rockybalfeatherboa]

getting these mtl headcanons outta my system

This is a long ass post but these r some random metalocalypse hcs that I feel kinda strongly abt some r real silly ok here it goes 

Aka me projecting

Toki - Enjoys activities like roller skating, weight lifting and boxing (that’s why he’s yknow fucken ripped) - Also enjoys model cars but not nearly as much as his beloved fighter planes - Thick brows - Hair is very thick and smooth (and,,pretty) but he doesn’t put a lot of work into is making the other guys kinda jealous - Sometimes shaves his legs below the knee but that’s it - Does shit like host teen choice awards and guest star on children’s tv shows BUT THEN acts surprised when kids love him,,,tf bitch this is ur fault - Absolutely loves physical affection he fuckin loves hugs and kisses!!!! - Prefers making out and titty groping groupies (and maybe a blowjob) over having sex with them .. but will still do it if he feels like he’s up to it - Kisses with his eyes open (and overall just real fuckin weird ok) - Keeps the video from Juliette sarmangsadandle in his nightstand he treasures it - Mostly writes his own keyboard parts for songs - Band thinks he’s hilarious when he doesn’t try to be but when he tries to tell jokes they don’t work ,, but he’s really funny in Norwegian it’s just the jokes don’t really translate too well so he just,,keeps it to himself - Pickles taught him how to smoke and now they like to chill and smoke together it’s like “their thing” - But he’s really picky about it he only smokes indica - (This is me projecting) Learned the phrase “if u feelin froggy then jump” and never stopped using it

Skwisgaar - shaves e v e r y t h i n g bc of 1) the aesthetics and 2) loves the way it feels - long lovely legs - huge fucken feet - has a klokateer pluck and tweeze his eyebrows them shits be on fleek - cries in secret at least once a day it’s become routine - He kept in touch with his Swedish gf for a while but then fell off and went back to hoeing #hoe4lyfe - Secretly wishes he can go back to wearing all white but he has to maintain brand recognition bc of the band - Wears very slight sweet smelling cologne behind his ears and wherever else cologne goes - Either eats a fuckton or not very much during the day,, keeping his metabolism on her toes - Guitar playing for him is like ultimate stress relief and also he fidgets with it he loves that thing - Has a book of various songs or riffs that he’s written on the guitar that dethklok will never ever use - Wears highlighter - Has run into one of his grown ass children in the bank one time and had to get the fuck out of there immediately,,they didn’t realize it was him tho -  Puts his feet on nathan just to bother him - Great teeth / really conscientious about hygiene - Cold hands and oily skin type - He has a pretty good sense of rhythm but ,, he can’t dance he can’t dance for shit oh my god it’s a disaster to look at - “I look like I can’t cook… that’s accurate” - When he drinks wine he does that thing where he swirls it around like a bougie piece of shit - Lactose intolerant :/ - Talks with his hands a l o t it’s over dramatized and very fascinating to watch - Responds to compliments with “I know”

Murderface - closet gay*   *gay but he grew up in such a homophobic environment so he tries to ignore it and pretty much force himself to be straight, explaining his constant trouble with women (Bc the attraction isn’t genuine ) and his fragile masculinity (so he’s always a “fellas is it gay to-“ or a “no homo” type of guy ),, his self esteem issues don’t help this out at all - big fuckin crush on skwisgaar (and skwis loves the attention) - sleeps with a retainer - hair is so dry,,,,,,please give this man some conditioner oh my god - knows pretty much everything about the civil war and the American revolution literally ask him anything he’s like a textbook - Somebody come get this man a pedicure - He has a lot of fans and they adore him it’s just that he’s oblivious to it,,, ppl love murderface!! - He’s not as ugly as he thinks he is or that people make him out to be, it’s just that people may think that only Bc the rest of Dethklok is so pretty. He kinda just ends up looking the worst by four-way comparison. It’s just a different type of look he has there’s nothing really wrong with his appearance - Imma go head and say it,,,he uses “y’all” - He and toki have actually made some decent songs for planet piss but it’s usually when they’re jamming out so they pretty much never get recorded 🤷🏽‍♀️ or remembered - He can move his dick voluntarily I mean I already knew that people with dicks can do this but murderface has like a whole new level of control with his - Got banned from Fintrolls bc he pissed in the olives but he just keeps coming back bc what are they gonna do? nothing - He takes his weapon/torture device collection very seriously like when u walk into his room u better not touch a damn thing or so help me -

Pickles - has nose piercings but doesn’t wear em - Small ear gauges - Strong toned legs especially shins and calves - Has not had a swig of h20 in 6 years but somehow has nice skin (a mystery) - Loathes Seth but absolutely a d o r e s  the baby!!! He loves that damn baby and always appreciates when Seth or amber send pics or FaceTime call !! Fuckin uncle pickles!! - Helps toki compose his keyboard parts for songs (Bc he too can play the piano) - Kinda flexible but not as he used to be,,he used to be able to do a full split - Likes to bug Charles a lot bc they’re the closest in age , sometimes they hang they’re good buds - Watches shitty reality tv (bad girls club, LHHATL (it has to Atlanta), etc) as a guilty pleasure - Kind of an asshole but in a way that leaves u wanting more - Played basketball freshman year of highschool,, he was ass at it lmao - Idk how much this has to do with being a headcanon but if pickles was a vine he’d be “I said whoever threw that paper, ya moms a hoe” he just carries that energy - Smells like a light combination of weed and cologne it’s really nice - Will tell one of his band mates to go blow their nose if they’re sniffling too much

Nathan - doesn’t like it when people touch his hair without asking but HOWEVER if u ask before u do he’d probably say yes ,, just gotta warn him first damn - Hates hates h a t e s feet it’s like a weird squirmy phobia. He’s ok with his own feet and just *seeing* other peoples feet but let someone’s bare foot touch him and he’d probably black out tbh - Really socially awkward outside of his stage presence but I think we all knew this - Nathan’s really sweet he just ,, u gotta know him - Really emotional when he’s drunk - Secretly cussing out everyone in his head - He doesn’t completely dislike physical affection but he’s not crazy about it either - Also kisses with his eyes open (but unlike toki he’s trying to work on it) - Dad bod but we all knew this too - Slightly introverted ..he likes to party and shit but can only take that much social interaction for so long then it’s time for him to go home - Eyes are so striking and pretty oh my god it’s like they’re shining it’s all his gfs favorite thing about him - ,,,,,,,thicc - He’s one of those people that rip off their hangnails instead of cutting them 😖 - He can throw down on the grill goddamn why isn’t he in charge of snacks? - Knows how to suture a wound with some level of proficiency - He loves his parents he just hates how they embarrass the fuck out of him god leave me alone mom and dad! - This is ironic to the last thing but remember that video where it was like “son let me hear some of your music” “I don’t think you’d like it” “c’mon let me listen” and the song is just “I hate my dad I hate my dad I hate my dad” the whole time yea that was Nathan in high school - Strong arms (b,,beautiful) - As a kid he used to poke at roadkill for uhh entertainment - Used to be self conscious about his reading glasses but doesn’t gaf anymore - Severe case of resting bitch face he’ll literally be chillin but his face will be mean muggin but that’s just the way he looks - Tried PCP and ended up having to be chained to his bed betcha he’ll never smoke that shit again - likes crime investigation shows and serial killer documentaries - Will n e v e r  refuse a fresh hot salted pretzel

[goodestboyryuji]

ok OK SO i have so many feelings about the final palace like i truly....am losing part of my mind, in good ways but mostly bad ways

first of all: MUSIC. god all the palace music has been so good, but Futaba’s and Shido’s gotta take the cake. Really like Okumura’s too tho

second: as entertaining as the mouse parts were, i’m so impatient when you have to backtrack lmao it’s the platformer in me. if i leave a room, i don’t wanna have to go back

BUT NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PARTS:

i’m a big fan over how the intro letters showed some growth in each of the characters, namely yusuke’s?? i just really liked how he was like ‘no’ and then ‘yes’ and then when the dude was like ‘ew’ he was like ‘well fuck you that’s my interpretation i’m not gonna change for you.’ as i mentioned before, i think ann’s could’ve been better, but i’m lovin how she literally just called that sicko out in front of everyone.  NOT a fan over how ryuji didn’t get one tho. i mean i suppose the end of the palace is his moment but they fucked that up so royally that i wish he’d been given more of a chance to show his strengths. i still think coming up with the plan was a good moment for him, but not good enough imo. 

akechi is.............not as sympathetic as tumblr made me think he’d be lmao like i totally have sympathy for him and i feel badly, i do wish things had gone differently, but if you say like...20 times how much you want to massacre a group of teenagers...it is hard for me to be like ‘aww sweet bb.’ i thought i was gonna end up being more into his character once i completed his arc than i actually am (again bc of tumblr and the way they baby him lol) but  makes it additionally hard to believe so many ppl hate ryuji but love akechi. like...i can’t believe that’s a thing tbh lmao ryuji could’ve EASILY been like akechi--they came from really similar circumstances--but ryuji found the light in life while akechi refused. 

ALSO, LIKE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, ryuji tries SO hard for akechi???? he speaks the most to him, is the most encouraging/pleading imo (”you have to be your own person!” is the line that stood out to me most, both for its literal words but also how he said them), and the only one to run to the door and slam his fists on it in desperation at the end. time and time again we’ve seen ryuji have an opinion on someone and then change it when he learns more about them, and he does this IMMEDIATELY, esp if they’re in danger. Ryuji is the one who disliked akechi the most of anyone--the spicy scene sticks out in my mind lol--but he doesn’t hesitate for a single second to try to help akechi when he’s basically having a breakdown. RYUJI. IS. SO. GOOD. fuck any other opinion tbh

I AM SO HERE FOR HERO RYUJI

can we just....LIKE???? they’re all gonna DIE and he’s like ‘i got this’ even tho he has a well-known leg injury that caused him to fall in the first palace and doesn’t even think twice. he just zooms off. AND HE’S SO GOOD! HE DOES IT!!! HE GETS THE BOAT!!!!!!!! AND HE JUST HANGS THERE, SMILING!!!!!!! SO HAPPY EVERYONE IS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT EVEN URGING THEM TO HURRY EVEN THO EVERYTHING IS EXPLODING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was CRYIN i am so proud of my bright and shiny son. also thanks to y’all’s warnings i 300% THOUGHT HE DIED SO THANKS FOR THAT. i literally jumped out of my seat and was like NO. i’ve avoided spoilers pretty well so i thought maybe??? looking back i think i deffo would’ve found out already since i’m all about ryuji and follow everyone else who is too lol but stILL!!!!!!!! i was...distraught. 

..but also....like......................................................i am OFFICIALLY removing from p5 canon the scene afterwards. like? what the FUCK is up atlus. no what did you DO dude. WHAT THE FUCK atlus????????????????? i’m straight up ready to fight.

WHAT KIND OF HORSESHIT????? it not only makes NOOOOOO FUCKING SENSE--like NO ONE would to do that to someone who almost DIED?? also i already really hate that trope of physical aggression towards an emotional situation. this is obvs hugely influenced by my own personal experience with that, but i’ve never been comfortable with it. it’s not a healthy way to treat someone or to treat your feelings. it was a perfect opportunity to show ryuji love and help him feel valued and respected, which would have been an incredible closing of his character arc and development, but instead they digressed all way back to BEFORE the first palace and treated him just as awfully as his previous trauma. it’s so disappointing.

not to mention the literal visual of ryuji just....slumped against the street pole, unresponsive, while everyone is like ‘ok so who’s hungry!!!!’ is just so..gross and disturbing. i know it’s “just a video game” but like..ryuji means so much to me so that was just really shitty. it would’ve been shitty if it was any other character too, but it esp sucked that it was ryuji. i dunno. just really not okay with it.

overall it was a good palace and i really enjoyed it, but the ending w/ ryuji was enough to sour it p heavily. i’m excite to finish the game tho!!! i hear there’s not much playing left even tho there are a few months left, so maybe i have less left than i think :( 

[caratau]

Dad! Seungcheol.

y’all ever watched Cheaper By The Dozen?

S. Coups is basically the Dad.

raising 12 kids irl but i’d see him with a good 4 or 6

dominantly boys 

speaking of babies i read on a wattpad comment a million years ago that if theres a dominant amount of sons then that means the dad’s got a big willy and if there’s more girls then its small.

just a fact but idk if its bs so don't rely on me oK I WAS 13 MY INNOCENT (LMAO BIH WHERE) WAS TAINTED AND IDK IF ITS REAL BUT YEAH BACK TO PAPA COUPS.

but yeah like mostly boys for kids and then

hear this

his youngest is a little girl

this bewildered dad man and his three boys watch this little angel in amusement ok it was unexpected asf seen as papa coups and momma coups decided to keep the gender a surprise like hOW I HAVE THE PATIENCE OF A CHIPMUNK I GOTTA KNOW WHAT MY CHILD IS

im also not one who differentiates between genders :)

and that is how papa coups rolls too

hold up before we go onto the life lets go a trip down memory lane from the first boy

momma coups is a worry wart

like

she's calm and shit but like??? a baby??? she trusts papa coups but like, he’s only ever been a father to 12 teenagers and young adults???

how dis gonna work out??

and so the journey begins

not really lmao coups had to buy a personalised ‘Daddy Coups’ barbecue apron to make it official.

woozi did not approve

nor did momma coups

that apron became a scarring nightmare in those kids lives as teenagers for friendly barbecues imma tell ya that now

# prayforthechoi’s

but yeah back to the pregnancy i derail hella fast

will also buy a t-shirt with ‘daddy coups’ lmao momma coUPS HAS HAD IT

she burns it in a fit of raging hormones

poor ol’ cheol doesnt let the underlying dislike of these raging hormones show

woozi is high fiving momma coups in the bg.

do they have regrets?

being connected to cheol yeah they do

jk jk  they both love him

but yeAH 

he’ll be a wreck at the ultrasounds

not really a wreck

like

he’ll be all nervous and I'm picturing it now; momma coups’ hand is clutched between his and he keeps the back of it near his lips and he’ll kiss it every few seconds and ik it’s weird but like its a type of reassurance to him aND momma coups as if to say that everything ok bc they just have a fear of losing it and I'm going really sensitive I'm sorry

cheol’s eyes water y’all I'm crying inside

he sees a blob, with help from the nurse, and he just breaks down bc he made that blob y’all.

he made it

and throughout that whole break down, he realises its all real and fuCK he’s gonna be raising a child from biRTH, not from teenage years like he did with svt.

and he's just so happy from there on

honestly theres changes of him in interviews and v lives and all and everyone just loves it

will sO be the dad to take bump pics aW MY ACHEY BREAKY HEART FUCK

will do a montage

he’ll make a pinterest just for nursery ideas bc he’s gonNA BE A DAD

WHAT TYPE OF DAD WOULD CHEOL BE IF HE DIDNT BE A PARTICIPATING FATHER FROM THE START

a participating father does diy

it surprisingly goes well

momma coups is impressed

she invites jeonghan over in hopes to watch coups suffer but the two end up stood at the door of the nursery with teas in their hands and they're just admiring the man that probably keep them sane through different points of their lives

speaking about some of svt, they consider you as their momma coups (jeonghan is shaking) 

so when y’all tell the svt kids you're expecting an actual child, the room basically has an earthquake

hug here, hug there, may god help momma and papa coups bc they were being squished 

and then at the baby shower, cheol insisted that his sons be invited bc they're the life of the party

and its true

they are

Seungkwan does a lot of karaoke

but on a stage

and to people

he does some trot

thats when it gets lit

seokmin and soonyoung take over whilst seungkwan pulls vernon over for a slow dance to a song they're screaming to???

meh its svt ok they jam to anything and everything

i forgot to mention that since coups wasn't really so prepared for a bABY (teenagers and young adults aren't a default approach to fathering, ya gotta raise them from birth) he and momma coups are a regular attendee of birthing classes

just so he can be prepared

the classes were more for him than momma coups

she gets bored really easily

tiredness is a symptom of a pregnancy

anyWAY

night of the birth

2:36am is the dreaded time

although seungcheol was half dead bc damn dads need sleep too, dude’s still able to grab the hospital bags, slip shoes on, get the car keys and make it out of the house in record time and into the car

when they get to the hospital, cheol is talking at 100 miles a minute to two phones (maternal and paternal parents) of how the births happening

next is the svt kids

theres a lot of screaming over the speaker but it doesnt beat your scream when you went through a sudden contraction

and that was the beginning of the long ass birth of your first son

we’re at the fourth child

a daughter

a tulip

a little princess for the family to adore

no one expected it, as i said at the beginning

momma coups that she was doomed with boys but nah, theres still hope

from the day of the birth, papa coups has his boys, ages 7, 5 and 3 stand in a line in the hospital room as if they were in the military.

momma coups is cackling in her bed as she holds princess coups.

“boys, we’re now in a default mission.” 3 year old coups struggles a bit with balance and don't even expect concentration from him. baby looks away from papa coups for a sec 

“3rd son coups, look at me please-”

“3rd son coups, where are you going-”

“i demand the presence of 3rd son coups”

lmao 3rd son coups goes to sit with momma coups on the big hospital bed aw aw he pokes princess coups’ hand

“pwincess coups?” he asks momma coups with those starry eyes (coups genetics are amazing)

“princess coups, baby.” momma coups answers back and the whole family just gathers near the bed. 

“she's a diamond, boys, we gotta make sure no one tries to break or steal her, thats all i ask of you”

“yes dad”

theres even a response from 3rd son coups anD MY HEART IS HURTING FUCKING SHIT IM SUCH DOMESTIC TRASH I GOTTA MAKE 12 MORE OF THESE IM GONNA DIE OF HEART ACHE

cheol will piggyback the kids all day errday YGM

piggyback to brush teeth, piggyback for breakfast agh

everything is also almost like a military operation

this is where cheaper by the dozen tropes come in ok

i wouldn't say that cheol is a competitive person but if someone makes their family (*cough* jeonghan *cough*) out to be better than everyone else then its war

theres also summer trips to a lakehouse w the rest of svt and their families and my heart is hurting more now

but yeah

this is where the ‘daddy coups’ apron comes out.

did i forget to mention that princess coups has a small crush on woozi’s kid

this is when they're like 14 ok

they're both fucking shy too 

ofc cheol knows

instead of being protective, he pROVOKES IT AND OMF ‘DAD CAN YOU STOP WE GET IT’

princess coups isn't the biggest fan of her dads antics

still loves him as a dad tho

lmao his plan acc works tho like woozis kid and princess coups go on dates (both woozi and cheol chaperone lmao it ends up as a dads meeting)

OOH OOH (ooh aah I'm sorry oops)

CHEOL’S THE DAD TO STALK HIS KIDS DATES

will be the dad to make a mountain out of a mole hill over his kids dreams and damn i want cheol as a dad i feel as if very morning would be ‘CHASE YOUR DREAMS OK DONT LET ANYTHING HOLD YOU BACK’

would drive you where you needed to for these dreams

soccer games for boys, hell soccer games for the girl too she's grown in a practically all boys household

cheol doesnt degrade it tho

oh yeah all the boys are taught to be respectful towards women but the full on lessons go on at the hong’s.

coups pays joshua in the form of a future son-in-law for one of his little girls

Boruto Ep. 19: What I Liked

Yeah, sorry I wasn’t able to put this up earlier. I wasn’t able to watch it on Wednesday morning like usual bc of TV/computer issues, etc. BUT I did watch it and find some awesome stuff to like about the episode!

1. Boruto and his dad

BWAHAHA, I was cracking up at how Naruto was about to swipe his son’s head for that prank. And then Boruto was so adorable, playing tag with his dad like that. Shikamaru’s exasperation over the whole matter was a bonus. HIs whole, “Both father and son don’t know when to quit. You and Naruto are so much alike” was a SUPER bonus.

2. Shikadai and his dad

It was cool to see more background as to why Shikadai and his dad were together on that particular day. It’s nice to see Shikamaru in Dad!mode.

It’s also nice to see Shikamaru in Uncle!mode, which is the definite vibe I got from his interaction with Boruto here. “Stop making more trouble for your dad, he’s under a lot of stress.” His snark is also hilarious, pfft. (Yo, SP- my thirst for the Uzumaki-Nara family barbecue will not go away until I get what I want, ya hear?!)

3. Inojin and his dad

“What is that artwork? Graffiti?” HAHAHAHA, Sai, never change. Even throws blunt and snarky comments at his own son! PFFFT. 

It was nice to finally see some father-son moments between Sai and Inojin. As a lowkey Sai fan, it’s really heartwarming to see how far he’s come from the mostly emotionless soldier he was introduced as. Now he has a wife, a son, a family, so many friends. I love it.

4. Metal Lee and his dad

I just put this here because the endearing way that Metal Lee went, “Papa!” melted my heart. Am I the only one who felt that? Was it just me??

5. KARUI AND CHOUJI

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. WE FINALLY SEE KARUI. AND SHE ACTUALLY SPOKE MORE THAN ONE LINE!!! PLUS SHE HAD A FLASHBACK OF CARING FOR HER CHILD!!! I AM LIVING!!!!

I legit didn’t know I was that much a fan of Karui until this show, lol. I liked the flashback showing her and Chouji parenting their daughter. I also liked how much of a dad Chouji was when greeting his own daughter in the middle of the street. Did you see how excited he was just to see his daughter?? That was so cute! Chouji is a proud dad, like for real!

Look, all i want is more Akimichi family scenes. That’s not too much to ask...right?

6. MItsuki and ChoCho

Okay so we know MItsuki was gonna be rude...but this confrontation was still hilarious. I like how Chocho was all, “??? Get out of my face???” and he was all “ok” and just sat the next table over. Mitsuki, you so nosy! pfft.

7. Sarada

So this episode reminded me of why I liked Sarada so much. It also gave me flashbacks to Part 1/ early Part 2 of Naruto when the Uchiha clan was still cool and not mere plot hax for the lulz. It was tear jerking to see how distraught Sarada was over not having a father and not being able to get much information on him. But I liked the moments of friendship with her and Boruto and ChoCho, and I also liked the extra material of her eyes going blurry.

(Dear Sarada: Thank you for being proabbly the only Uchicha who didn’t have to kill people to get your awesome eye power. Yus??)

Other Stuff:

- Okay, so I’m not sure I wanna continue reviewing through this arc, because eh...Gaiden’s story is not that great. I only like the interactions between the old and new generations, and that’s it. The plot itself has some major soap opera drama that I could do without. And no, I’m not bashing on soap opera drama- I’m bashing how particularly bad it is here in Gaiden, imo. I mean, doubting your paternity because you and a random woman have the same glasses??? Really??? Shoot, guess they should cliip off some plastic from my glasses for the next DNA test! I could be related to at least three of my neighbors!

...though to be fair it’s not like the fandom had been any better by having that same assumption at one point, lol.

- Eh. Sasuke. Eh. I just...I could do better. We all could do better. I am not looking forward to him having a bigger role in this show at all, because every single time he shows up it’s plot hax for days and I could really do without that, you know? (Sorry for all those who actually like him. We all have our likes...and we all have our dislikes.)

My face again when he showed up, by the way:

Let’s see what next episode brings!
