Sam: "Look at me. Hey- look at me a second. I know. I know you're tough. I know how strong you are. You have every right to be proud of that. But being able to handle somethin' doesn't mean you should have to. Least of all when I'm right here trying to help. Please let me help. If not for you then for me, because I don't like knowin' you're hurtin', especially when there's somethin' I can do about it."

Me, shaking my head, fighting back literal tears: "B-but it's gonna give you another headache!"

Too Late

Anthony Lockwood x Fem!Reader

warning: pure angst, second option reader, asshole lockwood :'D

word count: 1.2k

disclaimer: this isn't the best one i've wrote bc i probably forgot that i even wrote it but im just gonna post it anw hueheu

<3

(name) was walking on the pavement that leads to 35 portland row, the home of her best friend, Lockwood. Lucy had invited her to come to his house after not going there for almost a month now.

She started being friends with Lockwood just a few years ago before he even started his agency. (name) was a family friend but they got to knowing, and just clicked with each other. But for her, it was more than just being friends... or best friends. He was so much more than that to her. But she knows he'll never return the feelings.

Anyways, feelings aside, (name) has become great friends with his agency's members even though she is not a part of it. She was so excited for him when he hired his first assistant. But she remember that it didn't go that well for em' but luckily, he's now ended up with George and Lucy.

Which brings us back to (name), wondering why Lucy had invited her.

Finally arriving at the house, she knocks on their door and waited for a few until George opened up the door and greeted her.

"Hi, (name). Lucy told me that she's expecting you?" she nodded at George's confusion. George knows that only Lockwood invite her most of the times but, even if someone else did invite her, it was probably Lockwood's request (it was a demand..). And Lockwood is currently out of the house. He let her in and asked her if she wanted some tea.

"Yeah sure, that'd be lovely, Georgie." She gave him a small smile of appreciation. While waiting for the tea, (name) went up to the attic to talk with Lucy.

"Lucy? You here?" (name) shouted as she's climbing the stairs before Lucy appeared behind the railings. "(name)! You came!"

"Of course I did, you asked me to, silly. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?" (name) chuckled as she finally took the last step of the stairs. "So, what's up? Why'd you ask me to come?" Lucy took both her hand, pulled her and sat her down on her bed. This made (name) smiled and just went along with her.

The brown haired girl sighed and look down on her hand. "Lockwood just asked me out a week ago," (name) smile dropped "That's great, Luce!" (name) put her smile back but this one was more forced.

"I rejected him, (name)-"

"What? Why?" (name) was so confused, Lucy liked Lockwood back. So, why did she reject him?

"I- I don't know, I just did! I started rambling about how work is a pressure for me and all — I barely remember what I said-" Lucy sighed loudly. "I panicked.. I like him, (name). I do but, I don't know what came over me. And now, there's tension all over the house!"

As much as she wished that she's the one that's getting asked, (name) know better than that will ever happen. So, she give Lucy some courage to talk to Lockwood and explain herself.

"Lucy, you have to tell him or you'll regret it." What (name) didn't know is that she might also regret encouraging Lucy, but she knows it's for the better. "Well, I'm gonna go downstairs. George is probably done with the tea," She stood up and headed for the stairs

"Alright, I'll catch up with you later!" Lucy exhaled and lay back into the bed, chest feeling heavy.

<3

"So, why'd Lucy invite you over?" George questioned. He set down the cup of the in front of the girl and sat down in front of her.

(name) took a sip and pick up the pen that is Infront of her and starts doodling on the thinking cloth. "It's nothing, just Lockwood and Lucy things, y'know?" George just shrugged at what she said. They suddenly heard a noise coming from the front door, it's probably Lockwood struggling to open the door.

George just stood up and went to the hallway to open the door for Lockwood. "Hey," Lockwood greeted him and headed for the phone.

(name) peeked through the kitchen to see what's up with Lockwood especially after getting rejected. "Anthony?" she revealed her presence and Lockwood turn to her.

"(name)! I was just about to call you, guess that'll save me some time."

"What's up? Need anything?" (name) played dumb about the fact that Lucy rejected him, trying to not break his heart.

"George, can you..? Need some privacy." Lockwood smiled thinly. George just pushed up his glasses, nodding and went back to the kitchen. Lockwood walked closer to her, five feet apart from each other.

"(name).." His gaze shifted, It's not how he usually look at her. He was looking at her with much more passion and (name) realized what's gonna happen and..

"No. Lockwood, no." She blurted out and this confused him.

"What? I didn't even say anything-" He steps closer, this made (name) take a step backward.

"I know, Lucy told me."

"I like you, (name)."

"No, you don't."

She refuses this because this is not good.

"I- Please, (name)."

"Lockwood." This surprised him, because she rarely ever calls him that. "You like her, not me. Her. And I've liked you since forever but that doesn't mean I'll accept you just because I happen to be your option!" she scoffed "You decided that you like me because Lucy rejected you, right? You're being desperate and I know you're better than that. I'd rather reject you than just be a second option for you, Anthony."

The boy sighed and massaged nose bridge. He muttered. "This is my second regret, now."

"What? Are you serious? Wow, did you really just said that? Do I really just become your second regret? Be fucking serious, Lockwood." There it is again. "You're actually admitting that I'm just becoming your second everything at this point. I'm fine not being your option at all because it'd mean I wouldn't have to hope anything from you."

"(name), I didn't mean that! I'm so sorry — I'm just being dumb and-"

"Yes, you are being dumb! And I'll just let it slide because I know what you're going through." She swerved around him and went for the door. She hesitates for a second but finally reach the door's knob.

Just when she was about to turn the knob, Lucy called out to her. "(name)!" She stood at the top of the stairs. "(name)?" she repeated looking a bit more confused. Lucy bit her bottom lip and glanced at Lockwood for a second before looking back at (name).

"Lucy.." Lockwood muttered under his breath. (name) can hear how hurt he was in his voice but it didn't excused him for what he just did.

After turning around for a second to look at Lucy then Lockwood, the heavy hearted girl knows to leave them alone and let them talk it out. (name) turn her back to them again, "Thanks for the Invite, Lucy. Tell George I love the tea.." She finally turned the knob and head out of the house.

<3

When (name) was finally far enough from the house, she sat on the kerb of the pavement. Breaking down into sobs, fingers running through her hair. She buried her head into the palm of her hands, getting them all clammy.

She didn't know whether or not this is her fault.

Because she was too late. She thought that if she had confessed sooner, maybe this wouldn't happen to her. Maybe, her heart wouldn't have to be crushed into pieces.

a/n: this almost become rusty because i forgot i have this in my draft

[rainofthetwilight]

for everything's sake if only I had enough mental resources to explore other people's ocs (jenna......... ethan......... kaida........ ) instead of constantly throwing things about my own girl

(just saw the post about ninjago ocs crawling into others' heads and that destroyed me so bad I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM BUT I WOULD HIVE ALL MY PROPERTY TO THEM)

I have alot of ideas for my children and fics I could do for them in the future but I need to atleast get past the reunion part of the story before I make anything bc my ideas mostly have nya and jenna bonding in 'em, but with how slow I am I might get impatient and just write whatever idea I have lmao

Airheaded S/O Headcannons #8: Giovanni (Epithet Erased)

An: This has been me writing for obscure characters bc I want more of them out there. Enjoy.

Giovanni would die for you

This man already loves his minions so much, so with you, he's absolutely smitten

What's that? You're rank Senpai in the Bonzi Blasters?

He's in love.

Hmm? You also can't tell your right from your left?

Don't worry, if Car Crash can figure it out, so can you.

You have one of the highest bounties he's ever seen, but not one functioning brain cell.

How you managed to do it, he'd never know.

But he's so goddamn supportive anyway.

You broke into a museum during the day?

"That's it baby, catch em' by surprise!!!"

You throw PeaShooters instead of firing them?

"You still knocked down the enemy! And bonus points for creativity!!!"

You lost the loot helping one of your minions?

"What's a cheap treasure to Bad Guy Street Cred? Minions always come first!"

If Giovanni is ever in any trouble, you're his solution.

Caught by the police?

You're using your own Epithet to get him out.

The higher ups are upset with him?

You just walking by and asking 'what's going on' is enough for them to drop it.

Nobody wants to mess with a person who even Zora couldn't catch.

He needs a new knife because his mom won't lend him one anymore?

You lend him yours and buy him his own set.

He totally finds a way to combine his Soup Epithet with yours so you guys have couple coordinated attacks.

Does not and will not ever take advantage of your ranking to better himself.

If he wants to move up a level, (on this pyramid scheme) he'll do it himself through hard work.

Plus he loves bragging about how cool you are.

This dork is exactly the type to confess to you during a heist when you're about to die.

The "If we don't make it out of here, there's something I want you to know" type.

And you don't realize he's trying to confess so your response is the typical "We are going to make it out of here!"

Even when you and his underlings have already defeated the enemy, he's still convinced you two won't make it out.

"I just want you to know, I love and admire you!"

"Giovanni, we're at the base????" (The base is your house.)

And he's 🤨🤨🤨

"Oh, then nevermind."

Screaming because after that both groups of minions are trying so damn hard to get you guys together.

They try setting up a date and Giovanni is so embarrassed when he realizes what's happening.

And you have no damn clue, so it embarrasses him further because he has to come up with an excuse for 'inviting' you to a nice dinner.

Flowers show up at your door signed 'Captain Gio ❤️'

And he's absolutely terrified because 'Guys!!! That was a little too forward!!!😡😡'

But still you have no clue and are just happy he got you something that wasn't stolen. Well, probably not stolen

It does work out, eventually.

This bad not-so-bad guy will call you the sweetest names.

And he totally gets ragged on by his boys if he uses one in front of them.

Babe, honey, Senpai, love of his life, sunshine.

Might even slip in 'the baddest of villains' if he's feeling spicy.

He let's you pick out the seasonings for his Epithet, but shhhh! That's a secret!!!

He tells you about Molly and you suggest a 'surprise adoption.'

And he's all on board until he realizes he's way too young for kids. That and you two can't afford one. 😞😞😞

So you settle for stopping by the toy store every once and a while to say hi.

She's very appreciative and also confused.

Because it's always the day after you visit that all the toys at the store are bought by an anonymous customer.

And the week after that a hospital is gifted a generous amount of toys for the kids staying there.

But yeah, you and Giovanni are totally bad guys. 🙄🙄🙄

Although she does wonder where you get all that money from to buy from the store.

Giovanni does worry that the Head Bonzi Blasters are taking advantage of your stupidity.

So he always makes sure to go with you when you have a meeting

He just wants the best for his S/O, okay. 🥺

And he's right because you're being scammed big time. And it's extremely obvious.

He shuts that down right away, even if he won't be in the higher-ups good graces.

His mom loves you and begs for you to take Giovanni with you everytime you leave.

But you two can't exactly afford a stable apartment for two people. 😬😬😬😬

She still holds out hope though.

Does Giovanni get jealous?

How dare you ask!

The Great Giovanni Potage is never jealous!!!

Nope, not one bit.

Not even as the sales clerk slips you their number, only to find out they're being accused of tax fraud by an anonymous source the next day

Nope, totally not jealous 😤😤😤

He also totally does not hold your hand when another Banzai Captain is flirting with you so they get the message that you're taken.

Couldn't be him.

It is him please don't find somebody cooler with a better Epithet

Goldfish brain or not, he loves you and will support you through even the worst of blunders.

NEXT UP: Hiei Jaganshi

An: On an unrelated note, I would let Thorn from the Hex Girls break my spine like a toothpick.

[sunlightandsuffering]

lys, hi. this video randomly popped up on my fb -- yes, it's the most accessible socmed platform where im from - feed (a friend shared it), and i just got so sad again.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/neA4nN4tMTANdAwo/?mibextid=uSdriS

obviously, this is fiction, right? and i usually am so good at releasing it all out once im done internalizing it in my head. it's very stressful lol but i think it makes media content enjoyable, at least for this sort of media. the song isn't really something i've given a second listen - or even a full listen - but oh it works so well for this scene.

but i just get so sad, so incredibly sad whenever i think about canon eremika. as a sucker for well-meaning (lol) angst, their story was so beautifully written, but damn. i think i said this in an ask years ago...that i read your work as some sort of escapism, like 'oh it ends well for both of them' kind of thing. i dont ever do that with other anime/manga/fandom-centric entertainment etc; thinking about them just hurts a bit too much for an irl feeling. i need to think of them happy and flirty and cranky and just alive in that silly little place in my head reserved for media consumption. little nico doesnt hurt too

tbh, we cant really ask for canonical representations right? most writers dont write them that way anyway, but i feel like i could see canon eremika in your works, if they were ever given the chance to live out different lives in different worlds, haha. ig that's what happens when the emotional range has been fleshed out in canon material (tho at what cost??).

until know, i still cant laugh at those memes of mikasa developing an attachment to birds and whatnot because it's just really sad. lol like the dark humor doesn't work for me here.

anyway, that's all! i hope you're doing ok. maybe im just feeling blue because i just had a session of root canal treatment and the cost + post-session pain make me want to sob too. considering a dental implant after all this because if im going to go thru this, might as well do it for something that's guaranteed to last lifetime (with good bones & proper care ofc)

sending you my love, in the most non-weird way, if that's possible haha

AWW ANON SENDING U MY LOVE RIGHT BACK !!! I have never had a root canal but I think both my parents have and they fucking suck from the sounds of it, so wishing you a speedy recovery!!

oh god the fucking song tho 😂😭 i don't think ur alone, that song kind of hits different, I feel like I saw it on insta reels or something recently and I was definitely crying. I ALSO JUST CRY A LOT THO !! I was crying bc I watched the fast and the furious the other day , like who am I?? Media has the ability to bring it out in you!! Especialyl AOT!! ACTUALLY U KNOW WHAT THO IT WAS ANGEL BEATS THAT WAS MAKING ME SOB THE OTHER DAY, I ABSOLUTELTY SOBBED!!

I think I have emotionally removed myself enough from canon eremika that it doesn't phase me anymore, like I have not and likely will not rewatch AOT ever or any time soon at the very least because I just have no desire to put myself thru it bc I am simply too attached!

As far as me writing canon eremika goes, as I always say, never say never! So far, captain Eren is the closest I'm getting LOL! Altho I think i do have a few canon EM drabbles somewhere in the depths of my blog! I would like to write canon EM, but i don't know how i'd do it tbh. Like how I could spin a happy ending for them other than cabin EM which I did attempt but didn't finish as usual!! you never know what type of garbage I'll cook up tho 😂

[scoonsalicious]

OKAY CHAPTER 28. First off, can I just say I admire Pocket being such a spitfire in this because the girl really has the confidence to mock Jenny at any given moment when she can kill her with one pull of the trigger. Pocket really is just joking around and laughing and making quips as if she isn't being dragged by her hair quire literally I was reading it both horrified and impressed because I'm like, Pocket....shut up please i don't want you to get hurt anymore or die but also like, this is so Pocket you go get 'em girlie. BUT AH THAT GLIMPSE OF BUCKY IN THE MONITORS GOING ABSOLUTELY FERAL, COVERED IN BLOOD AND BOILING WITH RAGE AND TAKING DOWN A WHOLE HYDRA BASE ON HIS OWN BECAUSE THEY GOT HIS GIRL? SIR? I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU? Pocket was literally such a mood during that moment because that was such an insane show of violence and truly showcased that the Winter Soldier might be gone but Bucky Barnes very much still has his skill and if he wanted to burn the whole place down to save the love of his life we would've no questions asked. But also, yes please? Can I have your babies? LMAO.

Now, that confrontation was...a lot to say the least. Judas insanity and obsession just showing through and you could just see how our of control he was when Bucky showed up. Like that whole exchange was intense I can't even deal. Her calling Russia "making love", and that she was quite literally built to "love" him. You could just tell that there was no getting through to her anymore. She's too far gone and man was that disturbing.

And UGH POCKET, being all self-sacrificial and everything as if I'm not already filled with so many emotions!!! Just, I don't even have words that was just so amazing it made my chest ache. The confessions, them pouring their heart out I just... WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO DIE. IF THEY TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE I—well, we wouldn't have a story but anyway. That was just so good, Evoked so many emotion in me gosh.

But you know what made me absolutely insane??? BUCKY BARNES AND HIS BAIT AND SWITCH MY GOD?????? I knew what he was doing the second he started to feed Judas' fantasy and telling her exactly what she wanted to weaken her which is such a smart move and good for him to realize that immediately when the first try of getting through to her didn't work BUT MY GOD THAT WAS SO COLD AND BRUTAL IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE? AM I SICK IN THE HEAD BC MR. BARNES BUCKY SIR THAT WAS KINDA HOT? (i know he probably snapped her neck and she's dead now I couldn't care any less but STILL????) The second he kissed her and boy did it take a lot longer but I'm sure he was trying to gauge that Pocket was far away enough and the second he realized that and grabbed Jessie's throat WITH THE VIBRANIUM HAND MIGHT I ADD and his demeanor immediately switched to feral and unhinged and "I'm going to give you a slow painful death for hurting my girl" I.. am .. on ..... the floor?????? i'm not even kidding when I tell you I put my phone down and squealed into my hand because that was such a powerplay i can't even deal. AND WHEN HE SAID HIS PROMISES DON'T MATTER AS A CALL BACK I'M LIKE???????? ahem. sorry. I just, I'm a sucker for men who goes overly feral to protect their girl. Doesn't matter how many times it happens it's just *chef's kiss* every single time. Never gets old.

But ugh, Pockey got shot. (i know I seem like I don't care but you've talked about a sequel so I know she's going to be fine haha ha ha unless.....) But still, that scene tugged at my heartstrings gosh, that was...Bucky crying, Pocket still joking around and comforting him as if she's not the one losing blood and practically dying. That was just perfection. I just love those two so much and I'm glad they're both going to be on the path of healing.

I feel like I've ran a marathon reading this chapter because wow what was intense. I know there's still something about Steve and whatnot but I honestly just can't wait for the come down. God, we're so close to the end. It's going to be a lil bittersweet but hey, I'm so glad it happened. You're amazing as always. Lots of love!

(p.s. i usually type on my laptop with these ask and sometimes i type way too fast because i'm excited to spelling won't always be great so i absolutely did not realize i wrote "cheese game" instead of "chess game" but i'm glad it made you laugh because that is quite funny.)

— Jnon 🤍

Hi, beloved!

I really, really wanted Pocket to stand up to Jackass in the best way she possibly could, and since that couldn't be physically, it was going to have to be through sarcasm and snark, lol. Like, this is her one and only chance to get back at Jade for all the shit she put Pocket through, so Pocket is definitely going to take the utmost advantage of it. Also, she knew that the more off-balance Jade was, the more likely she was to fuck up and give Pocket an opening for escape.

And I know it's not healthy, like, at all, but when Pocket saw him being completely feral in his quest to find her and save her, it definitely did things to her insides, lol. Violence is never acceptable, and IRL, I'm a total pacifist, but if my fictional man wants to be violent in my honor? Yes, please.

Writing Jerry's confrontation with Bucky made me feel sick, lol. When she's like "Oh, but we made love," I'm sitting there like "Ma'am, that was borderline sexual assault. You don't know what love is." In a small, tiny way, I feel sorry for her. She was basically fed this fantasy to such a degree that she couldn't fathom it not coming true. Like, she was made to believe there was no other option for her, and so, she would accept no other option.

Bucky began his bait and switch as soon as Pocket told him to let her go. I wrote it with the idea that he knew she'd sacrifice herself to ensure that Jade couldn't use her as leverage over Bucky, so he did the only thing he could think of-- pretend to give her what she wanted. He was definitely making sure Pocket was at a distance from him and jade before he made his move, though. He also wanted to make sure Jade was properly distracted. He should have taken the gun away from her, but eh, lol. It's more dramatic this way.

I really enjoyed doing the "promises don't mean shit" callback, because I felt like, in a way, that was also him taking responsibility for everything he put Pocket through. Or, at least it is in my head, lol. He had planned on killing Jezebel nice and slowly, at least until she shot Pocket. After that, his rage got the best of him. Plus, he needed to get to his girl; he didn't have time to torture the hoe any more.

And of course Pocket would be fine! I can't kill off my best girl! I love her too much! I just really love that emotional drama, lol. I have your next missive to read, so I will sign off! Love you so much! <3

[cutemeat]

i have small hope for macden because i feel like sunny writers room brains would go Wouldn’t it be funny if two of the characters who sucked absolute ass and have had terrible times of strain were actually healthier in a romantic relationship than the other people they hang out with… but i also believe they think it’s not as funny as fucking it up sooo bad, if they ever made it canon. this is the plight of A Sunny Loser

yeah i mean again i still think that since they went thru the trouble of bringing back the Cat In The Wall metaphor from Break Up in s15 and having Dennis' arc echo a lot of the same beats as Mac's storylines in HOHC, MFHP, Mac Day, etc. makes me think there's something being set up here... Which isn't even mentioning the more obvious Brokeback refs including Den breaking his fuckin back on a mountain at the very end and caring a little too much about a tattoo on Mac's body that he wouldn't be seein unless he's already seeing/planning on seeing Mac's upper thigh on a regular basis it's.. just... if they don't do shit in s16 i'll be fuckin confused. but i feel like the girls have said that since Foreverrrr so idk! I do agree i think rcg are def scared of botching the storyline cuz again if they didn't care about botching it they would've done something with it already, and they nearly did botch it with DDL.. and I remember while they were writing s15 last year Rob mentioned his desire but how difficult it was to specifically bring a gay man into the writer's room so I feel like part of the feet dragging is coming from a place of good intention since Rob has a whole 'i gotta do right by the gays' thing lmao. but that being said I feel like they have written Mac/Den well already, so they just need to have a little faith in themselves LOL. If they're just afraid of failure the whole time it'll come thru in the writing n it won't be good. They gotta have some confidence in what they're writing and that itself has a lot of pull.

I personally think that they should just go for it because it'd be a way to freshen up the dynamics (esp if they are really gonna keep going for a few more seasons or possibly indefinitely) while still keeping it consistent. A lot of people seem to think that Mac/Den getting together would 'ruin the show' or forsake the formula... But I feel like both the s14/s15 finales had a very 'fuck our original formula' subtext to 'em anyway. And also I personally miss Macden's dynamic being like it was in Manhunters/Frank's Pretty Woman/Dines Out... Eps like that show that just bc MacDen are happy together doesn't make them better people so it'd still fit with Sunny's overall 'this is a show about bad people' motto. And I think it wouldn't be THAT different if they were overtly out and in a relationship cuz they have been written to have romantic subtext n sexual tension right along anyway. It's just been a matter of rcg going back and forth on whether to have the characters themselves realize that and embrace it or not. Cuz we see even in eps like 'Jumper' and 'Big Mo' that rcg have concluded that always just playing it safe and sticking to the formula or "the algorithm" is less satisfying than writing to what feels more satisfying in a story. I believe MFHP was kinda a major turning point for them and also worked as a sorta "dry run" for how a MacDen storyline might play with audiences.

But again, who knows! It seems like they're having fun in the writer's room so far at least, and so we'll have to wait n see what that means for MacDen's stryline if anything when we get there LOLLLL.

[adminlunata]

I think imma make a post abt myself bc why not! This is my blog *Villan laugh*

Anyway, Im Admin Luna! I also go by Terry or Terrylu.

Im 21! 🎉

That said, my blog/tumblr acc is gonna be 18+ MINORS DNI!!

Im a bi+bigender person, pronouns: they/she/he

Im Hispanic/Native 🇲🇽

Im into LOTS OF THINGS, and I've always wanted to share those things so my blog might be a mess of a lot of things! :3 Also, I might do a lot of self inserts, so if u dont like that. Then SKIDADLE!!

Intrests:

Art, (like all of em) I started drawing again recently after abt a 3yr break, both digital and traditional! Currently trying to learn nsfw art its reaaally hard 😭😭 but yall get to see my failed attempts lol. Also trying to start up a small jewelry business. I like beads and shiny jewelry. I also want to retry watercolor and acrylic painting, maybe try playing with pastels :p Pottery is cool, and so is glass work!! Im sure there are other art media im missing, but eh.

Books/reading, I LOVE READING. I've been in love with it since i learned that i could read cool stories, lol. Uh, I might try bookbinding in the foreseeable future. Might try to write again too.

Plants, I used to work as a florist! So, I've gotten into flower arranging. Might post old arrangements ive done, maybe learn to draw new ones instead since flowers are expensive 😅 Im also super interested in foraging and gardening, thanks Warriors and later SDV I just need to learn more abt identifying local edible plants and mushies before I try eating anything. I grew my first tomato plants and Marigold flowers this year!

Cosplay/sewing, I've always wanted to try cosplay, but I've found it a bit expensive to perform, so it might be a bit till then. But i have plenty of time to learn to sew, I'm also trying to learn to embroidery since it's part of my culture, and it's pretty.

Games, Im mostly a cozy gamer as much as id like to be good at fps i have 0 aim, that said it hasnt stopped me from playing OW.

Gona put a Spoiler alert on this one for “Take My Arms That I Might Reach You”.

Hey so I’m back (the person who asked about the time measurement in “Take My Arms”) to say I absolutely loved the rest of the fic. I really enjoyed the character development both Techno and Phil went through throughout the fic and getting to see the way they both end up together terrorizing the bigots of the desert was wonderful. Was sobbing at the part where Phil died had me fighting back tears cause I was absolutely reading this at work. Just the visual you painted in my head of Techno putting Phil’s body in the bedroll was the breaking point. I was like 90% Phil was gona come back, but still it got to me. The world building you did in the Ebony plane was incredible! I love a good info dump and Kristin’s explanation of the magic and spirits tied everything together so well. And oooooo the Quackity/Techno flashbacks. Man Techno really did a number on him! But I like that they still became tentative friends after all was said and done. You asked what my thoughts were on Chapter 18 and I’ll be honest, I’m a bit confused on that but cause there’s a chapter 18 and then one labeled eighteenth, so I’m gona roll em together. I pretty much knew early on in the fic that Techno was also had wings. It was pretty obvious (at least to me) with the fact that he had a voice talking to him since Phil had the same thing, even if he ignores it. Still, the reveal was fantastic! And the way Techno used his own curse to get on Phil’s level and try to calm him down and let him know he was okay, he wasn’t going to hate him was so sweet. Ah! I could go on and on about all the little details I loved about the fic, but those are the major things I loved about it. Sorry it took so long to get back to this, life went and lived and my brain has been a bit fried lately so it been hard to put thoughts into words. But you’re a wonderful writer and I will definitely be coming back to reread this fic again in the future, as well as keeping an eye on your other fics (see you have a new one out, haven’t gotten to it yet again because life). Thank you so much for sharing your work!

AAAA THANK YOU!!

im soooo glad u loved the fic!! character development my beloved, that was one of my big things i wanted to achieve with this fic, having a distinct but still believable development of the characters, and to show how that development happened even when it wasnt going quite so great. patpat i am hugging u but also hell yeah i rlly wanted that moment to have a big emotional impact esp since it was planned from like. the very start lol.

im glad u didnt think my infodumping was too out of place! truth be told the worldbuilding developed a LOT as i was writing the fic, and some things never got the chance to get properly established rip.

backstory hell yeah! i wanted to show what techno was like when he was young and more in phils shoes and i also wanted to elaborate on quackitys cardistry, AND i wanted to show that the superstitions around the carrion cursed arent entirely unfounded. managed to roll that all into one chapter lolll.

oof yeah prolly shouldve clarified. by chapter 18 i mean the chapter titled eighteenth, the ao3 automatic chapter numbers are wrong bc the first 'chapter' is a prologue lol. and niceee ur one of few who actually made that connection, youd be surprised at how many people genuinely failed to see that chat was no different to kristin it was so funny.

PLEASE DO GO ON ABOUT THE LITTLE DETAILS!!! OH I WOULD LOVE YOU SO MUCH IF YOU DID!! (not to say i dont love u anyways that is) little details are my favourite things literally ever i know i wrote the fic but pleasee go on about the little things you noticed!!

thank you soso much for this, genuinely <333 you dont need to apologise for taking ages to read shit, god knows life can Be Like That. cant wait to hear what u think of my future and maybe even past stuff!!

[taeyungie]

ah em thanks for replying to my long ask (sorry for another long one). i wanted to clear somethings up if it changes anything. but first, you might be right that he was jealous and just didn't show it. he seemed indifferent about me getting back to my ex so i never thought anything of it. he does sometimes randomly ask if i talked to my ex again after the final breakup happened (i haven't). anyways, i don't think he did what he did as a distraction from his hurt because i broke up with my ex 2 years ago! (and the guy that followed was also 2 yrs ago) i haven't been in a relationship with anyone since. and its because i started falling for him during that time. the fling happened months ago :( you're right about wanting to take it slow, he's probably really cautious but the fact of him knowing i had feelings for him before i even admitted it & still slept with the other person makes me think it's definitely not a priority for him. i assumed it would be cause again i had no idea there was someone else, and i lowkey thought he'd be happy i was willing to give us a try since i messed up the first time. i forgot to mention this is a long distance thing too it gets even more complicated. now that i found out about the fling (idk whether it was a 1 time thing or not) i keep wondering if he's seeing this person still it's driving me crazy) ive been cheated on and my insecurities are bad. but i do see his side in all this too cause he's been talking about coming to see me, and idk when that would be but i have delayed the idea for awhile by brushing it off (cause i wanted to be a better me before we met, i'm still working through things physically and mentally) but also i figured i could buy some time while he finishes his degree. so i didn't mind if it takes awhile, but the longer i take, the longer things aren't serious, and the longer he'll just see other people, but that pushes me away cause i don't want someone like that. it feels like a lose/lose situation now and it seems like its my fault. maybe i should've waited when i knew i could see him for sure, but now i'm not as confident in us bc of how lowkey he kept this from me in the first place. maybe my expectations are too high for something that's not official. ig i expected more cause he's my best friend too.

i understand you sweetheart, i really do, and I'm so sorry that you're going through this with someone who's so special to you. but i need you to talk to him, to tell him exactly what you told me. there's nothing wrong in overthinking things, especially if it's a sensitive topic to you. you have rights to know what is he really thinking and feeling, because if he's not serious about it then i wouldn't want you to waste your time and nerves on viewing this relationship as something that it might never be, i don't want him to give you false hope. you have to be clear about what you want and he has to be too, otherwise it's not gonna work and both of you will keep hurting each other. I always say that communication is key, it's better to say too much than not enough. At the same time, i feel like some people do not connect physical relationships with emotional connection, which might be the case for him, we don't know what is happening in his head and if he is ready to commit to a relationship at all. but you have to ask him about that, ask him to stop leading you by your nose if this is not what he wants, because your feelings are serious and you want to know what you're standing on. you need to ask him for clarity, baby. he should respect your feelings if he knew about them. not even as potential partner but as your best friend he owes you that.

[tea-and-finalfantasy]

ALMOST DONE W CURRENT ART STUFF

obv i have plans for immediately after it BUT it's been nice to work on smtn? and it's been both in depth and not? it's like:

i ordered "prints" by pasting 4 images into one poster sized piece (+ had a coupon for it + had two accts so i used the code twice--4 images in one poster and 2 in another)

got them p much for myself as 4/5 are fandom characters, even if not particularly obvious in most of the images anyways

and i knew the quality might turn out to be iffy bc while the stickers i've ordered from there have generally turned out okay (some better than others--i feel like they turn out a bit dark/the paper i use + the pictures i take of the images are fine but show up darker when printed through this service it seems), the shirts aren't always great

but with coupons and ordering them for myself, it didn't matter too much anyways

like i wouldn't use this service anyways bc the company is dogshit/funds stuff i don't agree with SO i only buy from them if i know they'll lose money on it (like the stickers i ordered were all 60% off) so i don't really care that they didn't look hot bc they're for me and i wouldn't order these items seriously from them in the future anyways

but with the images blurry, the colors off, etc. i've literally been drawing over the paper

which is really cool in that i've been creating almost entirely new pieces--some with mostly similar colors but done over with colored pencil to fix the coloration, some added to so much that they're mostly new

and yeah bc i wanted them for myself, i did kinda want the pics i ordered LOL but it's been fun to do this whole process even if i keep making my back sore from sitting in the dining room for like 5 hrs a day + my hand hurts rn lol

hopefully will be done w the last one tomorrow and then i can take pics--again hopefully tomorrow as well but it's also likely i'll run out of daylight and have to take pics friday

and then it's on to ??? i have a whole list of misc things but i wanna draw a fat OC i have AND i really want wooden pins of my hockey OCs all w various injuries--although i don't anticipate they'd sell bc they're OCs so i'll design em and then ??? i dunno, that's it lol

[cryptidofthekeys]

CW aka Gift Thief Sona

Oh btw, here’s the uh sona for the whole gift thieves stuff

lmao I legit decided well hes gonna change REGARDLESS of what I do, just like CC, he’s changed s o goddamn much from his og document

sooo... yeah, also with each media Pelo releases I gain a new initial themed character- The Initial Collective grows

also I realized while editing this CW also stands for fucking content warning HFJDKSHDSK- ya know what im keeping it, fuck it we ball

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Name: Chase (me? Using MY name again bc I’m too lazy for anything else? LMAO yeah) Wolfe

| Nicknames: CW, Cryptid/Crypts

| Pronouns/Sexuality: He/Him (Trans FTM) and CW is p much Polyamorous

| Age: 30

| Species/Race: Human (White/American)

| Height: 5’5”

| Occupation: Has a small business The Cryptid’s Comforts (he sells comfort character letters and packages)

| Hair Color: Dark Brown (Spiky quiff)

| Eye Color: Gunmetal Blue

| Body Type: He’s fat

-------------------------------------------------

| Appearance: CW (wow, I got CC and now CW …T h e C o l l e c t i o n  g r o w s…) wears light pastel purple hoodie with puppy/dog and flower designs on it) has some mint colored pants that go with it

(they look somewhat like pajama pants) and then finally he wears checkered sneakers that match his outfit (his right shoe is light pastel purple and the left is mint green)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

He has some light pastel gauge earrings, has a silver puppy paw necklace that has purple gemstones all over it, he has a circle beard before I forget that detail, he’s painted his nails to match his aesthetic.

--------------------------------------

Only scars he has is his top surgery scars, has lil fangs (those are real btw), has a BUNCH of light pastel purple and mint bandaids all over him (legit it’s for aesthetics plus I dig OCs with bandaids on em like that lmao)

-----------------------------------------------------

| Personality: Lmao watch this bullshit change IMMENSELY over time, ya know what, I’m gonna TRY to stick with basics- CW is a pathetic wet cat of a guy,, he has NO rizz, gets NO bitches but god d a m n will he try (gonna rizz up that Blueberry dude and Bandron) sucks at flirting, hell this dumbass motherfucker wouldn’t even KNOW if someone was flirting with HIM.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Aside from that however…

CW is actually super sweet, kind, caring, wouldn’t hurt a fly in all honesty… Can be very oblivious to some pretty obvious danger (CW THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT YOU N STEAL YOUR SHIT S T O P BEING GAY FOR THEM- ‘’hehe, funny blueberry man and silly robot go brrr’’)

------------------------------------------------------------------

CW is super chill usually, seems carefree (trust me, he’s not just carefree lmao) ALSO a lot of people seem concerned for him because he’s got some VERY dark circles around his eyes and his eyes are usually half-lidded anyways, he looks EXHAUSTED but he promises he’s actually genuinely fine! (he is tho legit, he just has that look)

-------------------------------------------------------------

He can also be so so silly …What does that mean? … 🤡

-----------------------------------------------------

| Side Facts: When CW isn’t working on letters/packages, in his free time he’s usually playing video games (now you might think bc of his aesthetic it’ll be something like Stardew, MC, AC, etc …Yes actually but he fucking LOVES horror games the most)

--------------------------------------------------

In fact he has tons and TONS of horror games, merch, etc- He fucking LOVES horror a lot which throws people for a loop whenever they see his house both inside and out (his house LITERALLY looks fucking scary even on the outside) there’s a cute pastel colored house not that far from his actual house.

----------------------------------------------------

Whenever he invited someone over for the first time it legit went like “Oh, is that your house? It’s so cute!” CW just blinks and then shakes his head with a soft laugh “What? Oh no, that’s not mine, that one’s mine” and then he points to fuckin haunted ass lookin’ house on the hill (cue dark storm clouds and lightning)

---------------------------------------------

CW also listens to music a lot, in fact he’s rarely seen without his headphones (music can help him function in general, also,, it helps him de-stress) sometimes he’ll be writing or drawing and then other times he’s playing his electric guitar (never plays in front of others, he’s very self conscious tbh)

----------------------------------------------

I don’t actually have a very coherent storyline for him just yet lmao but I know that’ll change, the same way it did with CC- It’ll change. The only difference is genuinely that I’m sticking MOSTLY to canon, like he goes to that one place to choose a gift, it gets stolen, etc.

(also a side edit: ...i do have- s o m e ‘’lore’’ now in those regards but not sure how many people actually wanna hear that shit so lmao)

------------------------------------------------------------

Final tidbits are that CW has a southern accent and speaks in a soft spoken tone of voice most of the time, only time he gets loud is when he’s talking about something he’s passionate about or his hyperfixation/special interests.

-----------------------------------------------------------

(Bats, Hyenas, and Dogs are his main animal themed special interests, he knows a LOT and can talk your ears off about those funky lil creechurs, but there’s a LOT more I’d be here all day tho otherwise so yeye)

-------------------------------------------------------------

I guarantee all this will change lmao,, he just doesn’t feel… Silly enough but who knows for now

[royallygray]

as JSjkJJMJHsjqiquajahBNHwyuqjqba

I'm normal those are sounds of a normal person

SJWUWUQLQHEOQJUFJS BC KWIOWOWOQPQ IF JSJQJWBSKANQUIEK

GEODE.YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW FUCKING HAPPY I AM THAT YOU LOVE IT SO KUCH AKRJWKHSEKKQOQODND

Okay firstly. The history bit.

Also I'm putting this under a cut too bc it's probably gonna get long

I really don't know when shit was happening, like year wise, but I think it's supposed to be happening in the early 1900s. I'm not big on history.

But what I do know, because throughout my life and journey as Newsies (that sentence is Not Sentencing I'm sorry):

The kids are actually much younger than the cast appears to be. Jack Kelly is seventeen. If we do it more historically accurately, then he'd be twelve or thirteen.

The kids that staged the revolution were really fucking young, is my point. The director for Newsies Jr (the one I was in years ago) told us that our ages were approximately how old the historical newsies actually were. And that like. was hugely impactful to me because I was just trying to make it through summer to get to seventh grade or smth and I could've been SLAVING ON THE STREETS WITH SEXISM TO TRY TO BE ALIVE like bro hell nah

Also I love how you are NERDING OUT on this silly little musical I recommended it makes me so happy because I did not get this info I just. anyways. I just really like it.

Okay Character time!!

I love Katherine. I need to sing Watch What Happens for you. I am leaving for a week with no tech tho starting tomorrow so if I don't do that now the next time I'll be available is next Saturday anyways

Shes. Yeah. A Girlboss.

Also she's Pulitzer's daughter!! And dude her writers block AEFJAJAHEKA it's so relatable 😭 first time I saw Newsies I wasnt a writer yet but by the time I was in Newsies Jr I was like girl I wanna be Katherine just so I can say "six months from!! NEVER FUCK WHY CANT I WRITE DUDE BRAIN PLS WORK OH MY GOD"

Also fuck Pulitzer.

she's so. Wkwjwkehwlajkahwnw. JKwhwkshqloaaskvrw. y'know??????? she's so cool. an icon. I aspire to be her.

Also the woman who played Katherine in the first time I saw Newsies is so fucking cool I love her dude she's such a cool actor. haven't seen her in years but like. hell yeah

CRUTCHIE!!!!!! I LOVE HIM. SO MUCH. btw his song is called Letter From the Refuge

oof

Anyways!!

Dude I love him sm

I really got nothing but yeah his disability is a part of him and they just accept that. also More money = good

Like yes Jack like low-key wants his crutch gone but for crutchies benefit also they are brothers <333

Dude it broke me too. I wonder if I can see what they replaced brother to in letter to the refuge in the jr version bc IT WASNT BROTHER IDK??

this popped up and I think you'd love it

OH EWWWWWWW DUDE I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS FOR GOOD REASON

DUDE IT WAS "GO GET EM"

THEY FUCKING REPLACED "YOUR BROTHER" WITH "GO GET EM" FOR THE JR VERSION EWWW

WHAT DO THEY HAVE AGAINST MY BOYS WTF

OKAY FOR THE LES BIT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE DATE THING CAME FROM OR WHY HE AND KATHERINE ARE ON A DATE (or maybe it's one of the Bowery?? idk but it always seemed like it was Katherine)

Anyways he's a ball of sass and honestly. like he is a business man. 60/40 is a pretty good deal. especially when you are Nine and dealing with mr Seventeen over here who is also Jack Kelly

DAVEYYYY MY BOYYYYY

I love him so much dude. Like. He's my nerd character. And I love how he's like "what the ruck you're criminals" to "I am the leader fuck off" and just becomes a Newsie within like a day just. aaaaa

Also the Newsies are 100% a family dude anyone who says different is Wrong and Incorrect

I love Davey. If I were ranting and not typing in my phone with my thumbs I think I could talk better but idk

Race :D yeah he's just an icon. background icon but he is the MAN in king of new York

Also Jack my beloved

Jack and Katherine <3

okay I might come back to rant about Jack and Jack&Katherine but I have shit to do

Also. Annie and Newsies both take place in New York so :) maybe that's similar style of music? idk

anyways yeah

THANK YOU SO MUCH GEODE I LOVE YOU ALSO THANKS FOR WATCHING IM SO HAPPY YIU LVOED IT I WAS THE ONLY OHE BOPPING MY HEAD IN THE THEATER LAST NIGHT SO I AM THANKFUL THAT YOU GOT TO STIM WHILE WATCHING OKAY BYEEEEEEE

ALRIGHTY i am no longer busy so heres my full thoughts on Newsies :DDD

tagging @royallygray and @mysteriouswolf if yall wanna read :D

ok this shit got LONG so the rest is under the cut

GOD where do I even start its beautiful its wonderful its emotional i love it so much

Ill try not to copy my intermission thoughts too much (if you havent seen those here they are)

Ok lets talk about the history of it. A quick google search says its based on a strike in 1899, and Roosevelt ran for presidency in 1901, so we'll just say the musical takes place in 1899 too (correct me if theres a different confirmed time).

During this time, work conditions are absolute shit, monopolies and trusts are on the rise, and the concept of a union has recently emerged. I really didnt need to say much of this bc its apparent in the musical, but i love historically accurate stuff so deal with it /lh

And in the musical we see the beginnings of Roosevelt's trust-busting and ideas of social equality that he acts on during his presidency (it also kinda ties into his environmentalism stuff a bit too!)

And after reading up a bit on the strike the musical was based on, a lot of the effects of the strike in the musical were historically accurate too! the newsboys could sell back papers they werent able to sell on the streets, but the price was unfortunately not yet lowered. (also, the names of the publishers in the show are historically accurate as well!!! makes my little history brain happy :DDD )

SO whats the point of all of my rambling here?

people make historical art all of the time. we see it in musicals like Annie, Hamilton, and so so many more. obviously this goes beyond musicals here, but since newsies is a musical ill try to stay with that topic.

anyway, we learn about history to learn from it. we see these past issues that our previous generations struggled with, in these art forms as to be easily digestible, and we discover their solutions. we get to see the humanity behind the issues and the conflicts they faced to overcome them. and ofc its not the only reason, but one reason these stories are told with art is to bring attention to them. people are way more likely to listen to music than study a historical textbook. so, they make it entertaining. they make relatable and lovable characters. they make people care about the show and subsequently the issue itself. all of this is to explain how and why things that happened in history are bad as to never repeat them again.

We see these topics of worker mistreatment, corrupt businesses, child labor, gender/sex inequality, and the class separation all brought to the spotlight in this show, and it does a damn good job of showing the pain and suffering they cause. the story of this show is incredible and so very important to learn about.

OK now onto the actual musical itself im done nerding out

ive done a lot of charater analysis already in that intermission post bUT WHO SAYS I CANT DO MORE HAHA

im saving jack for last bc theres so much to unpack there

KATHERINE MY LOVE <3333

Everything about her being a girlboss absolutely remains the same shes INCREDIBLE

and holy shit PULITZER'S HER DAD???? i love her even more. she directly ran away from an easy life to follow her own dreams and pursue her own passion from scratch. incredible. inspiring. mwah

i also just love her personality. shes so bubbly and happy and passionate and bright and optomistic shes the best <3

oh god crutchie. hes absolutely my favorite btw im sorry everyone else i adore him <33333

GOD his prison song actually killed me. im fully dead. deceased.

THE NEWSIES ARE SUCH A FAMILY GAHHH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH RAHHHH

the sheer ecstasy i felt when he came back and hit Snyder with his cane i could not stop stimming MY BOYYYY

the absolute definition of sunshine character. he sees everything as glass half full and wants just the brightest future he deserves the absolute world

and ik i talked about it earlier but i adore how they take such a neutral opinion about his leg. people give him shit for it, and his brother beat them to a pulp. its just a part of him and they love his whole being, so why would they not love that about him too?

Les only got better as the show went on. i thought he was a smartass before LMAOO

AND THE DATE BIT??? WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM???? AND IT JUST NEVER GETS BROUGHT UP AGAIN LMAO WHAT

i think the biggest change i felt towards a character was Davey

he grew on me soooooo much his character growth is everything to me

he went from trying to stay out of their business to teaching them what a union was to helping them start it to running it himself when jack ran off to convincing jack to come back when times got tough he is sooo important to the story

and to me. hes important to me <3

OH AND RACE

i saw people mention the name before but i didnt know which he was until they addressed him directly I LOVE THAT GUYYY

especially in king of new york hes got such a big personality what a silly guy

OK now for the guy the silly the mc jack

At the beginning he is entirely driven by both his love for his family and ofc his dream of living in Santa Fe, but atm hes just trying to get by so hes more focused on the newsies. but a boy can dream

then he gets all caught up in the strike business and only focuses on that for a while bc he wants to protect his boys

then shit goes south. they get essentially jumped, and crutchie gets hurt and arrested.

and he thinks, what was it all for? if he couldnt protect his brother (never living that down btw), whats the point of even trying to strike anymore

so he changes his focus back to santa fe. the one thing hes still got going for him.

and he gets confronted by katherine, les, and davey, and they knock some sense into him. stopping the strike isnt going to take away any of the harm done. the danger is expected, theres no way any of this could go down without some form of a casualty. so why not try to do something about it. the only way to make this situation better is to get back in the game and keep pushing for change.

and ofc the thing with katherine which ill talk abt a bit more later

in all of this, something in him changes. he dreamed of santa fe, a simpler life, one where he didnt have to worry about having to afford food and clothing for the next day.

but what he never considered was the loneliness. sure, he offered to bring crutchie and katherine with him, but hed be leaving behind so many more. and thats when he realized he never needed to get out, he just needed things to change a bit. and they did! because of the strike, living became so much more affordable. no it wasnt perfect, but it was enough to be safe and secure, just like he wanted. and he had his family beside him the whole time.

ill admit that before i sat and thought about it for a while, this ending was really unsatisfactory to me. i mean we got how many santa fe reprises? all for naught?

but in reality, santa fe would never be enough for him. hes just so used to this life surrounded by the people he cares most about and doing everything in his power to protect him, hed just be so bored, so understimulated, and hed just continue to yearn for more. that path of wanting would never come to a conclusion and hed live his life never truly being happy. so i really do thing he made the right choice in staying, because new york became his santa fe. he didnt need to seek it out, it came to him.

Ok now with him and katherine

ill start by saying i do really adore them. i feel like a lot of what im about to say might seem like i think otherwise, but i truly do think theyre very sweet

ok so every interaction of theirs in act one was. very uncomfortable to say the least. he honestly seemed really predatory at times and it just really felt like an old-timey romance where the girl doesnt know her worth so she flocks to any guy that shows interest in hr bc she thinks its her only purpose

now obviously that is NOT the truth, those were just my first impressions. Katherine is extremely capable of taking care of herself and deciding what is and isnt right for her, she likes jack purely because she can and does. she knows her worth and just likes him bc she likes him, no strings attached

i will say the first kiss kinda caught me off guard lmao. like i knew they were gonna be a thing but that is NOT how i expected that to go down. its likely just bc of my aroace-ness but i saw no sign of them actually getting together prior to that, aside from them being the main man and leading lady in the show so ofc they have to be together. i mean ig her reaction to him drawing her was a bit of a hint but still. ok maybe its just bc im demi. hadnt thought abt that until now. damn. is this a normal thing? maybe it is. maybe im being too harsh. idk lmao

anyway ill admit the kiss was successful in getting his attention and getting him to listen to her so ill give it that lmaoo but tbh i did tune a bit of their song out bc it started to make me a bit uncomfy but i did liste back to it later on. they really seem to have a healthy relationship where they both care about the other and know the other is strong enough on their own, they just both want to be a part of the other's life. its really sweet! theyre so supportive of each other!!! green flags all around!!!

the bit with him learning shes pulitzers daughter was really interesting to me. at first she tries to talk to him but he kinda brushes her off, but from then on he just kinda has full faith in her? i mean yeah he gets upset about it bc he thinks she lied to him, but i dont think he thought she had any ill intentions. that was a complicated sentence lmaoo damn. i think he really understood that she wanted to help, he was just caught up in a lot of Feelings and was afraid that she wasnt trustworthy despite him still trusting her. and then he let her explain and from then on they fully support the other and trust each other immensely

so yeah first impressions were a bit iffy but i think theyre very sweet <333

OK GOD CAN I GUSH ABOUT THE STAGE DESIGN FOR A BIT???? GAHHH

i mean the moving stairs and scaffolding arent new. i know this. but just the way they frame scenes with the scaffolding is stunning. the chase scenes??? dude. enthralling. the bits where theyre in the city and they have people just up their acting like civilians? SO cool. makes it incredibly more realistic and believable. and the way they projected images onto the curtain-like things they pulled down was extremely creative!!! like in theory its such a simple design. it was literally nothing more than the scaffolding and stairs, and a few tables and wagons and such in certain areas. but they did SO much with it it was hard to believe it took place on a stage. ofc the filming helps with that but still. the start felt like it was on the roof of the building bc of a combination of the lighting and the use of just one of the scaffolding pieces. and when theyre in buildings, the wall of scaffolding works really well as a backdrop!!! and i already talked about the city street scenes, it fits perfectly. god its so inspiring id love to be behind something like that one day

OK AND THE CHOREO??? the sheer ENDURANCE of these people HOLY I COULD NEVER. THE FLEXIBILITY? THEYRE ALL LITERAL GYMNASTS WTF ARE THESE FLIPS AND HANDSTANDS IM SORRY???? holy shit its all SOSOSO impressive

oh my god i havent even talked about the MUSIC yet

if i had to choose a favorite song, a, i would punch whoever told me that in the face, and b, i would simply combust bc i cant choose just one

my top three tho would have to be between king of new york, carrying the banner, and crutchies prison song (idk the name its not on spotify :'((((( ) in no particular order

i havent had them on repeat enough to have any memorized, but i did remember santa fe, carrying the banner, and the world will know from the last time i watched it and i belted along to all the parts i knew this music is so good at hyping me up I WANNA START A UNION

and oh my god katherines voice???? stunning. her song is sooooo good. her part in king of new york is incredible. i love her <3

jesus christ this post got out of control. im still not done lmaooo

ok one thing that really has nothing to do with the musical itself is just the fact that it reminded me of so many other musicals ive seen at specific parts, even some of the songs sound like others i know.

Santa Fe really reminds me of Maybe from Annie, both music-wise and lyric wise. i mean theyre both "i want" songs so it makes sense but i feel like they sound kinda similar too. honestly a lot of the music sounds like Annie, but maybe its just the types of instruments used and thats just how musicals sounded when they were made. i think they were made about the same time. *checks spotify* ok well the newsies i listen to was produced like 40 years after Annie so maybe that just a stylistic choice-

idk why but the beginning of watch what happens sounds like the intro to reginas speaking part in meet the plastics lmao-

oh and brooklyn's here has the same beat as the military from Seussical but thats just bc its a marching song lmao. its also the same beat as the spanish alphabet song my spanish teacher used to use!

ok and this one really doesnt make sense but something to believe in reminds me of the power in me from Twisted lmao- kinda similar message ig? and sound vaguely similar? but idk it really doesnt make too much sense

i should. i should sum it up. this is getting out of hand.

Hello ! Im new and I love your headcanon can I request this but if don't want to write this feel free to ignore it this. So mc as Aether :D

Twisted Wonderland with Traveler!MC

notes: well traveler doesn't really have a set uh personality so I'll see what i can do🤔

Heartslabyul:

to be fair, ur probably the same as the original mc LMFOAOAOAOAO

did nothing but somehow got into weird shit/ I'm here for one thing but somehow got involved in another thing

anyways, good for u that riddle is around to keep his dorm members in check

they have been relying on you too much for such a simple task that anyone can do? riddle is alr stomping his way where y'all are

definitely create some rule abt not going to you for help unless it's absolutely necessary

cater shaking with tears in his eyes bc he was abt to ask u to help him paint the roses together

sucks to suck ig

speaking of him, he'll post random pics of u and gave u a hashtag of your own

#nrcerrandrunner is trending on magicam

u best believe when riddle found out, he gave cater a full on 5 hour scolding

trey would sometimes ask for ur help

and then he'll give smth back in return

he doesn't ask for ur help often tho since he's more than capable to carry lots of stuff alone or run his own errands

plus riddle will surely scold him

i would say collar but riddle is a new man🙏plus he can't really collar trey of all people

ace is ur #1 errand maker

yes, u are more than welcomed to beat him up with that dull blade of urs

YUHHH DULL BLADE PAVED THE WAY⁉️‼️

deuce would beat ace up with u so like

sure ace would always make u run errands for him as best friend privilege but when someone else ask u to run errand for them, both ace and deuce are already cracking their knuckles

uh go get em⁉️

Savanaclaw:

u 🤝 ruggie, being errand runners

sometimes u guys crossed paths while running errands for someone and just

had this small telepathic moment⚡⚡

and then y'all give each other a nod before going on with the errand running

leona literally does not care that you're running errands for people

he would literally encourage it by giving u his own errands for u to run

now he have two errand runners

u and ruggie bonding over this😔💭

jack might pull u outta this

might even yell at leona if he have to

ruggie cursing bc WHAT ABOUT ME🤬??

and then he remembered he's working for leona and just

succumb to his fate while cursing himself and others in his head

speaking of jack, u can always count on him to glare growl yell at a person

you're trying to relax and some student is trying to get u run some errands?

jack is alr growling at them

some guy is abt to approach u abt some thing he needs to finish but is too busy lazy to finish it?

jack is alr glaring at him to stay where he is or else

he's more than happy to help u

not that he will ever say it outloud tho

sometimes, u guys train together in the morning

which made jack really happy bc yes!! someone is finally joining him!!

while leona did made u run errands, he really likes staying by ur side

mostly bc u just got this aura🤔that is pretty relaxing so he just zzzzz

Octavinelle:

one of the people making u run errands for them

if it's floyd, then we'll have to follow his mood 🤔

azul? he's a little hesitant bc he doesn't want to owe anyone anything

jade however, will spare u no mercy

since you're nrc's unofficial errand runner now, he will make u be so to ur fullest capacity

not even hiding will help, he WILL know where u are

hiding in ignihyde? he knows what he can do to make idia hand u over

hiding somewhere with rook's help? he'll find a way to get u^^ one way or another👁👁

trying to excuse urself by helping crowley with his paperworks? he would just drag u away saying u have a shift in monstro lounge

u will not escape chores day🤬🤬

and everyday IS chores day🤬🤬

azul and floyd watching from the distance

floyd would help u tho dw‼️after he teases u here and there ofc

only if he's in a good mood that

if he's in a bad mood, he won't even be near

azul is like "yeah none of my business☺" and went back to his work

azul is literally promoting the lounge to u

yknow so you can work here^^? he will literally pull out a powerpoint on why u should work in monstro lounge too

more work for u ig

Scarabia:

jamil will not spare u a glance before making u help him do chores with him

you're nrc errand runner anyway so cmere🤞🤞

he have no mercy making u work with him

if u want, u can surely use that dull blade on him too

be warned tho,u might not survive this🤔

or u might considering u faught many gods but hey, its jamil we're talking abt

he might pull out that hypnotizing thing of his just saying

but he's also appreciative u didn't see him as kalim's shadow

or that u actually saw him despite kalim being a sunshine that will blind ur eyes

kalim is more than happy to have u around

he might accidentally pull u out of an errand

u thank him and he goes :D???

because his intention is to hang out with u

he would literally snatch u in the middle of smth

like *YOINK* HEY LET'S GET ON THE MAGIC CARPET AGAIN TODAY!!

he always wanted to hear ur adventure stories

it sounds so fun! he wants to travel the world too!

if u ever went back to ur world and there's a chance he can go with u and back to his world too, he'll literally beg u to bring him

he NEEDS to go traveling with you PLS.

he'll even pay both of ur expenses so pls☺

Pomefiore:

vil absolutely dislikes those who does not put in any effort and rely on othets too much

so u can imagine how he is when someone from his dorm is requesting u to do some errands for them that they could do themselves

his eye literally twitched

stands right behind u like

help it looks like a face vil would make im crying

yeah they have a special dorm gathering where vil just yells at them not to find u to make u do some petty errands they can do themselves

if someone tries to get u to do errands behind vil's back, pls expect rook to just appear from the trees or bushes

like "NON‼️ROI DU POISON ALR TALKED ABT THIS‼️"

startling the poor student that they just

run away

rook made no effort to catch them btw

so now hes in an interrogation with u

"what were u doing?🤨"

"haha! i was simply studying the animals around!"

u thinking if he meant ants or bugs bc there's no animals or someone from savanaclaw around🤔

epel would gladly beat up someone if you're having a hard time saying no to them

like haha u asked the prefect to run some errands? WELL RUN FROM THESE FISTS FIRST👊👊💥💥

Ignihyde:

the dorm is full of diligent people so i doubt there's anyone who'll ask ur help here

well maybe help with socializing but that's probably it

but they'll ask u for help the least even from when u first met so u really like the dorm:D!!

that this place is even ur first to go place if u wanna hide and not have people stop u in the middle of nowhere

ortho is more than happy to have u around

he's the one who suggest ignihyde be ur hiding place in the first place anyway

is more than happy to introduce u tk his big brother too

idia going "oh its the school's errand runner"

u going head in hands shinji mode after hearing that

cue ortho scolding idia

after that, you're more than welcomed in

y'all would have daily gaming nights

with idia beating ur ass almost every round

its an ego boost for him so like😎

he also likes to hear ur stories along with ortho

especially when talking to u is like a landmine

"inazuma sounds cool, how was it there?" "oh you know i was there to find my sister but i somehow got involved in rebelling against their god and i beat that same god in a fight :DD"

idia and ortho looking at each other before looking back at u with mouth and eyes wide

"so um back to topic😰😰"

Diasomnia:

lilia and the gang is there to shoo the others away!

can u tell that i favor lilia

someone is trying to get u to run errands in diasomnia? lilia is giving them the look behind u

sometimes malleus is the one hovering behind u and is staring into the person's soul

if it's sebek by ur side at the time, he will yell at them and how lazy they are to not being able to do even that simple task

if it's silver, he's more chill so u can count on him to just give a small glare and reject it for u

malleus might gave his dorm members a warning abt not asking u for help unless they absolutely need it too

and who dares to cross THEE malleus draconia? right, no one

since u have this nature to just blend in with any crowd, sometimes they're not even surprised to see u in diasomnia, with a cup of tea in hand

and lilia trying to sneak into the kitchen in hopes of giving u something he made while silver tries his best to stop him

sometimes diasomnia is like ur dorm or smth🤔

sebek and silver is more than happy to practice their swordsmanship with u

with lilia watching in the background like "ya kids have a long way to go^^"

and they're more than happy to listen to ur stories too!

ur adventure story is officially silver's bedtime story

lilia and malleus are really interested in the history and their attractions etc

sebek is that one guy who won't be able to sleep unless u tell him the whole story

or else he'll be awake at 3am trying to make up some scenarios of how the story ends so he can finally go to sleep
