#bc wendy is the best thing about that movie and the movie around her is Not That Good

[brittlebutch]

every time one of the managers makes me go out and work on the registers i think of that scene from Please Stand By where Wendy is talking through her routine & does the “make it sound different each time” when she says her greeting for work and i think of this specifically bc i can eventually start to hear myself say the exact same words with the exact same unvarying monotone inflection & then i do not bother to change anything about what I’m doing bc i simply do not care enough to expend effort into trying to mask. i think i had a point when i started this point but i’ve lost it. anyway stop putting me on registers

listening

via Wendy @dying-suffering-french-stalkers, Huoy Meas' ប្រគល់ក្ដីស្នេហ៍មកខ្ញុំវិញ. figuring out what this incredibly zippy Cambodian rock song is named and what it's about was really difficult bc spotify is a bane upon this earth and won't let you fucking copy-paste and OCR was not working on the Khmer script. i ended up listening to the first couple seconds of each of her songs on apple music, and finally figured out this roughly translates to Give Me Back My Love and is about begging a fuckboy for closure.

via the spotify discover weekly, Night Club's Pretty Girls Do Ugly Things. all Night Club's songs sound the same so if you like one, great news! i had this song on for a full gregorian hour bc, i am only a tiny bit ashamed to say, i was storyboarding a The Man With No Name fancam to this. i think it would go pretty hard.

Smoke you like a cigarette Choke you like a lariat Fatalistic tourniquet Do you want more?

reading

thank you mackintosh.

i did not Adore any of these comics from the library. i sort of enjoyed Night of the Ghoul, a one-volume TPB by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla. i think ive blogged about this before but every once in a while i'll get a bee in my bonnet to read some horror comics even though i am a giant baby about horror movies.

Night of the Ghoul is about how you can't save your dad from PTSD but also about a lost horror film and also about the extremely dad behavior of tracking down every scrap of info about an auteur. there's also a monster.

the subtle art changes from present day to the remains of the film to the non-film flashbacks are well done, imo. the cover screams mignola but the inside pages are really fun pulp nonsense. i love a piece of genre writing that rolls around and delights in being a piece of genre writing.

im doing my level best not to get sucked into tiktok but i DO love watching this lady revive antique nail polish and look for dupes for shades from like the 20s. she found an almost exact dupe for a shade produced during wwii which is crazy insane to me!!!

watching

The Asphalt Jungle (1950, dir. Huston), it's a very painterly heist noir. i even like Sterling Hayden in one of the more prominent roles, even though i think he generally has the appeal of undercooked dough.

much like Fritz Lang's M, it presents the criminal element of the city as its own class with its own reputation and reference systems. it got in some trouble with the censors for having a VERY clearly laid out heist plan and execution. it's also got the babiest Marilyn Monroe in one of her earliest roles

this was such a gloriously messy movie. everyone is such a fucking mess. this woman only known as Doll is heartbreakingly, head over heels in love with Sterling Hayden's character. she's a little flighty and bumbling and silly, but determined! they're constantly orbiting the gravitational weight of her desire for this man and desire for a real life with this man. and that's just one subplot! she has maybe five minutes total screentime! she should have gotten a supporting actress oscar!!! everyone acted their fucking hearts out and it was so much fun to watch!

playing

monument valley is in the netflix games library this month (i don't actually know what their liscencing agreements would even look like, they and the studios they worked with were very tightlipped about that when they were rolling this out three years ago) but i assume it's going to be on the service for a while. i have never played this game, which makes me feel a little bit like a bad gamer. you can tell it's ten years old from some of the color and texture choices, but WOW did literally everyone take inspiration from this game.

this is the platonic ideal of a phone game. i get why everyone went insane about it and there was a brief boom of geometry-based puzzle mobile games. it is MUCH much harder now to get people to pay money to play a game that has a planned endpoint and planned number of levels, so netflix is a good home for it.

i was often frustrated but always delighted. the level below involves making something happening that made me genuinely gasp out loud in glee. well worth the annoyance of downloading the netflix app and scrolling through the poorly labeled and poorly sorted carousel of games.

great retrospective, a bit about how you need to have tiny teams go off and just kind of fuck around and bring weird stuff back, and a lot about how they actually designed the levels

The end result had a pixel-perfect axonometric aesthetic that not only went hard on its references to Dutch master artist and printmaker Maurits Cornelis Escher, but also dug deep into classic video game design, going right back to early arcade machines and 8-bit titles. Each of the ten levels is like a piece of fine furniture, built with invisible dovetail joints and inlaid with marquetry, stuffed with secret compartments and little design flourishes. Gray cites the world of theatre and stage design, as well as graphics, as important keystones in the way the levels were constructed. ‘Ken would always talk about flower arranging, and how you frame a silhouette of a level on the screen,’ he says.

making

update on the Phantom Menace fabric: pinked the raw edges and threw it in the laundry again with a very large quantity of vinegar. 50% poly was too high for it to really do anything, which is interesting. it didn’t lessen the seam edge effects either, which is a little annoying bc the seams were so gigantic and that’s a good chunk of fabric to lose. i am going to buy a camp shirt pattern at some point when i have money again but for now it goes in The Box

also! thrifted a pack of o-rings for jars for a dollar and finally put my grains etc in my pretty jars. they’re going to live in the pantry but today they live out on the countertop

[hottestthingalive]

thinking about dorothy gale again. bc i always am. but specifically i was thinking about the peter pan-dorothy comparisons because if you think about it:

a fair-haired* orphaned human immortal** with a permanently child-like appearance and personality that primarily wears green*** is initially from the real world but is transported under mysterious circumstances via unconventional air travel to an isolated land with magic, a variety of animals the author probably saw at the zoo, and mystical creatures including specifically mermaids and fairies. They have a small primary companion whose name starts with a T, is prone to biting, and that can understand human languages but refuses to speak them****, as well as a group of other functionally immortal quasi-children***** that they go on adventures with. They occasionally leave the isolated land but always return (partially because they lose their immortality if they do not), they spend a portion of their lives tormenting an old gay man with an oddly circumstantially appropriate name******, their best friend is a fairy*******, there is a group of responsible adults around that keeps an eye out for them & the other kids but mostly lets them do their own thing********, and at some point a pretty girl gives them a kiss*********.

This description applies to both Dorothy Gale and Peter Pan. Literally the only real differences are their gender and nationalities.

in conclusion, all those books where dorothy and wendy become pals are cute, but also deeply inaccurate to the actual dynamics. Give me Peter Pan and Dorothy Gale being chaotic BFFs

now, all the footnotes:

*in the movie, dorothy has dark hair. This is based on the first book, where her hair color is difficult to discern but is generally held to be brown or black. In all later books that Baum (& others but I don’t count them) wrote, the illustrator was changed to John Rea Neill, the “Royal Painter of Oz”, who portrayed Dorothy as a curly-haired blonde in art. Since later books retconned numerous parts of the first book, I chose to accept that brunette Dorothy is one of them.

**In the Emerald City of Oz, Dorothy and her aunt and uncle end up permanently moving to Oz, after which they become immortal.

***When Dorothy is acting as Princess of Oz, or is just generally in the Emerald City, she is almost always described as changing into or just generally wearing a green outfit. After her moving into the palace permanently, it thus becomes her primary outfit color.

****This is in reference to Tinkerbell and Toto respectively. Tinkerbell speaks the language of the fairies but can understand Peter, the Lost Boys, and the Darlings when they speak English (and it is subtextually implied she choses not to speak English). In Tiktok of Oz, it is revealed that Toto, like all other animals, has been able to speak since he entered Oz, which explains why he always understands what Dorothy says and asks of him: however, he just doesn’t care for speaking much, and prefers barking.

*****For Peter, this is the Lost Boys; for Dorothy, this is Ozma, Trot, Betsy Bobbin, Button-Bright, Ojo, and assorted other children who at some point either traveled in or permanently live in Oz.

******Peter Pan very purposefully torments Captain Hook, who is named this before he loses the hand; Dorothy unknowingly drives The Wizard up the wall with her persistence until she eventually reveals him as a scam artist, who had Oz as his stage name even before he ended up in the Land of Oz.

*******Here, I reference Tinkerbell and Ozma. Tink is obviously (and very famously) a fairy, but Ozma is described numerous times as being a fairy princess. ********In Peter Pan, this is the indigenous tribe that keep an eye on Peter and the Lost Boys; in the Wizard of Oz, this is the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, Glinda, Aunt Em & Uncle Henry, and assorted other characters.

*********Funnily enough, in the book Peter and Wendy technically don’t actually kiss: she just gives him an acorn she calls a kiss. HOWEVER, Dorothy and Ozma are described as kissing MULTIPLE TIMES, and there is a famous canonical illustration by Neill of them kissing on the mouth. Gay rights!

Hi! I don't usually make request but could you write wendy fluff hcs? If you're busy or just don't want to do it then please ignore this, i rlly like ur writing btw! Hope you're doing well

𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐘 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐗 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐂𝐒 ━ ♡

fluff

A/N :: Quick thing, im not the best at portraying character personalities so please let me know it i messed up some how, thank you ! Also this is pretty short

━ Where do i even start?

━ WENDY loves you to bits, no seriously she loves you so so much

━ she'll make sure you know it too! Whenever you two are together she'll hold your hand and walk around with you like that

━ she'll give you little kisses on the cheek when no ones looking and even more kisses on the cheek (and lips) in complete privacy.

━ Can i just say she'll defiantly gossip with you, like she'll tell you all the nastiest shit she's heard about other people because she trusts you, trust is one of the many keys for a good relationship.

━ Constant communication with her, thats a must.

━ since yk, communication is important to her.

━ its also bc she loves hearing your voice, it always makes her feel all happy and slightly giddy- dare i say it calms her down too?

━ If CARTMAN was to talk shit about the two of you, she'll beat him up to a bloody pulp (again)

━ No one talks shit about you

━ Your reputation also skyrocketed since you two became official, but cares about that?

━ Wendy does. very much so, because now, there's competition and lot of it.

━ okay i might i have gone drifted to completely other stuff. OKAY BACK TO THE FLUFF.

━ Loves watching movies with you, like most of your dates are watching movies and chilling in either your or her house.

━ lots of cuddling too, once she's latched onto you, you cant get rid of her.

━ She's overprotective too, like yk that one episode were Ms Ellen is in and stan kinda falls in love with her and Wendy sends that bitch to the sun, thats her with literally anyone who makes a lot of moves on you.

━ Thats it! I think, you want more feel free to request more :D

Thoughts on Wish

I've never walked out of a Disney movie with such a lukewarm response before.

It's not Bad, but it also didn't feel like it had a lot of love put into it, either.

That being said, this is still an Asha stan account.

Asha is, without a doubt, the strongest point of the movie. Which is good, bc she's the main character. Right at the beginning it's established that her generosity is the root of her character, and her "adorkable" moments are next to none aside from the trailers. She very clearly does not want to be misunderstood or mistaken for selfish. She is, in all measures, Magnifico's foil. That being said, I don't like the ending, giving her the Fairy Godmother's wand and implying that's who she becomes. Not only bc the Fairy Godmother has almost always been portrayed as white, but also bc this movie was promised as the origin story of the wishing star, not the Fairy Godmother. Especially with the whole "made of stardust" thing, it would have been stronger if it was Asha joining Star and the other stars.

The music is really hit-or-miss. Either it's great or it does nothing. "This Wish" (and its reprise) and "This is the Thanks I Get?!" do great, "Knowing What I Know Now" starts off slow and gets strong, and the others just... fall flat. I'm just going to say it, I don't think "I'm a Star" needed to be explained in a song (which I couldn't even follow for a good portion of the performance.) "At All Costs" makes sense in the plot but without context can be wildly misconstrued.

King Magnifico is a fantastic Disney Villain because yes, he starts out with noble intentions, and even the audience might be tricked, but the moment his strategies and power are merely questioned he turns into a Problem, which is the best kind of Disney Villain I think. The plot is entirely his fault in the best way. Also I think he takes the cake for "Disney Villain who physically does the most damage to the protagonist" given how he throws Asha around and slams her to the ground with magic.

I love Queen Amaya and she deserved better than Magnifico.

Beyond Dahlia, I'm very ambivalent about Asha's friends. Gabo was more "rude for comedic effect" than actually Grumpy, and Dahlia constantly has the only brain cell. Dario wasn't dopey, he was just a stoner. And... Simon deserved better. They made his "sleepy" description be a result of having already given his wish over to Magnifico and therefore losing a part of himself, which is a nice touch that makes sense, but then he spends the rest of the movie being controlled to fight them (a plot point that almost honestly felt like an afterthought to the plot more than anything.) And we get... half a minute of resolving that. After he's been terrorized by bunnies I suppose.

I expected... a lot more Disney references. Like we saw Aurora's dress in Sonja's wish, and of course we find out that a recurring minor character who just came to Rosas turns out to be a Wendy reference when she goes off with Peter-reference to build a flying machine, but these were the only two references I really caught. For a story that's been "a hundred years in the making" there was really, really little actual joy to be found in it.

The ending should have been something like "Star invites Asha to come reside among Stars like her, but Asha demurs to remain in Rosas as heir to Queen Amaya, and once Rosas is safe in the hands of Asha's chosen heir, then she ascends to join the stars."

For a Disney movie, it's sweet and cute and has a wonderful message. For it to be the 100th anniversary movie, "a story a hundred years in the making," it kind of left me looking at it like "this is it????"

short soft angsty style fic!

triggers: profanity, kissing/intense making out

Stan & Kyle are aged up to 17 here!

“I still don’t understand why you are mad” said Stan. They were sitting in his bedroom. Stan on the bed and Kyle was pacing.

“You always do this, Stan. I feel like you don’t want to be friends with me anymore so you push me away. Yesterday, I sat with you at lunch and you walked away. Last week, I invite you to go to the movies with me, and you agreed but then blew me off ONE HOUR before the movie started. You never reply to my text. You barely speak to me in classes. When you do speak to me it’s often asking for answers. That’s not what best friends do. It’s a two way street, and I can’t be the only one who wants to save our friendship” said Kyle.

Stan looked at Kyle. He was slightly out of breathe from his little speech. He was wearing a nice sweater with some decent slacks, and loafers. He knew his mom would kill him if he sweated through his cashmere. He looked Kyle. He then realized that he needed to respond bc Kyle looked like he was about to explode from the silence.

“I’m sorry dude” Stan mustered up to say.

He couldn’t possibly say the real reason why he’s being avoiding Kyle. The real reason why he couldn’t say more. The reason behind his increasing body temperature. The reason why he felt his stomach doing backflips. That’s because the real was reason was, he was in love with Kyle.

Stan realized this about two weeks ago. Although, he’s been in love with Kyle for much longer than that. After realized it’s taken him every ounce of his willpower to not throw himself into Kyle. Being around Kyle was simply too, it was simply too -

“I’M SORRY?” screamed Kyle, interrupting Stan’s thoughts.

“That’s all you have to fucking say to me? I’ve been trying to get you to acknowledge me for two weeks and you don’t even care to give me a proper exclamation?” said Kyle.

His face was the perfect color of blush. Wendy would kill for that color he just knows it. He missed Wendy. They broke up years ago, but she still creeps her way into his mind every once in awhile. Kyle was still screaming at him, but all Stan could see was the man he was in love with, full of passion, full of emotion. It was in a way beautiful.

This gave Stan the courage to do something he shouldn’t have done. He was blinded by his feelings, and by the way Kyle keep asking him questions and all of the things in the world were making noise in his mind and he knew if he just did this thing it would be quiet.

Stan got up and pulled Kyle to his lips.

Kyle obviously stopped talking. Kyle reacted surprised and pulled away. They stared at each other in complete silence for about 10 seconds. Then launched back into the kiss.

Stan was correct. Everything was quiet. Everything felt so right.

[apenapaperandadoofus]

HOLY FUCK WHY HAS NO ONE TALKED ABOUT THIS OH MY GOD

PETER PAN x DAMIANYA?!?!

But not the animated one the 2003 one

Listen you do not understand why this is the best thing ever listen listen (it also helps it’s literally kind of the same era ish, I think the movie is based like a few years earlier but ahh)

First of all obviously they’re aged up a bit on this like the movie characters, I believe they’re about 13 in it (can I also just say when I was a kid I had such a huge crush on both leads like holy crap Wendy and Peter? My 8 year old self was d y i n g)

Look look here’s my whole ass TedTalk on how this would go:

Anya ran away from her adoptive family and ended up meeting Becky (who is Tink!) and they all went to Neverland (yayyy)

Damian is Wendy, except less Wendy ish lmao.

He is the same as Canon Damian except he was forced to grow up so quickly, to cope he began to write fairly tale stories!

Erwin and Emile are the only ones who know about this but one day his father found out and well- Damian got his stories journal (hE rUinEd mY dReAm JoUrNaL) destroyed.

Emile and Ewen come to his house for a sleepover to comfort him, and that night when they go to sleep Anya goes to retrieve her shadow.

Damian wakes up and sees her trying to stick her shadow on and literally screams i “who the heck are you!!” Obviously all flustered bc a girl is in his room and poor Anya is so startled she punches him (yeah the punch is back) and Damian is like hOW DARE YOU

And Anya obviously apologizes and Damian goes to scream again but oh no she’s crying and it’s because she can’t stick her shadow D:

So to get this girl out of his room (it’s not to get her to stop crying yall) he helps sew her shadow back on.

Skipping forward Anya convinces Damian to leave with her. “Don’t you want to go somewhere you can be free? Where you can do anything you want? You don’t have to follow people’s expectations?”

Damian is convinced and he reluctantly takes her hand. They all go to Neverland where they find Hook! But who is Hook you might ask? (I struggled with this but screw it) the scientists! (dun dun duuun)!

I was struggling between them and Donovan but fuck it.

Yor, Yuri and Loid are with the lost kids (not lost boys bc well- pft no) and Damian is happy to finally be able to tell stories and just be himself yknow?

When Anya asks him to be their Father he is a blushing mess and can barely speak! But he agrees. “F-fine, I’ll do it- b-but it doesn’t mean anything ok?!”

So as time passes and Anya teaches Damian so many things (he gets DIRTY! Anya gets him to finally not care about his clothes lmao) Damian starts catching the feelings™️ and Anya does too- but she doesn’t want to- I mean feelings are for grown ups.

bUt the ideas like Anya and him flying around and going on adventures aH

Them finding a lost treasure! Teaching Damian how to sword fight! Mermaids! AHHH

Also the whole reason for this (also why I struggled so much with deciding roles) are this scenes:

(Damian is Peter in this one tho)

ALSO FAIRY DANCE FAIRY DANCE

(Imagine Damian blushing and guiding Anya on how to dance? “No, no, see you need to place your feet here, and your hand…” he notices Anya is so close to him and he almost chokes “s-stop looking at me and pay attention cuz I’m only saying this once shrimp!” While the only thing in his mind is ahhhh she’s so close oh we’re holding hands oh my god oh my god oh my god

sO CUTE)

Damian finally gets the courage and lets it slip that he may actually like Anya, but she’s so afraid she runs away and Damian thinks Anya rejected him. (MY POOR BABY LIKE it’s the only time he finally speaks up for himself and chooses to do something that can make him happy and he gets REJECTED T_T)

The scientists takes this chance to yknow use Damian for their advantage and use his insecurities against him and let him join the pirate (scientist?) crew.

Damian then decides he’s done and wants to leave, even if his dad isn’t the best he wants to go back, he is too hurt. He ignores Anya and says some hurtful things and decides to leave Neverland. They both have a fight (Anya also said some things she didn’t mean) and it’s very dramatic and angsty and sad.

Damian convinced everyone else to come with him so now Anya is alone but oH NO THE KIDS GET CAPTURED.

Anya after being saved by Becky from the poison goes to get them!

Afterwards there’s a huge fight and the climax happens where Anya gets all sad and is about to die when Damian comes and gives her a THIMBLE (aHHHHHHH SO CUTE THE LIL KISS AHSHSYAGA) and Anya is so happy and BAM they defeat the scientists (pirates?)!

Anya finally realizes she likes Damian and hey, maybe growing up wont be too bad, so along with the lost kids they all leave and go back.

Anya helps Damian confront his father and chose his dreams (yay!) and Damian keeps writing stories while Anya helps him with her adventures (also maybe Yor and Loid are actually the eldest of the kids, so as soon as they grow up and are in a stable place they adopt the others so Damian doesn’t have to be with his family any longer and can be freee yay!)

Ans then later when Anya and Damian grow up they get married and live happily ever after the end ✨✨

This idea just came to me tho so more bits and pieces may be added later on. I also struggled a bit with this one ahshshs it was hard placing roles since they were both perfect for both but in the end Anya turned out to be a better Peter lmao.

Like I said might add things to this later since rn it’s 3:40 am oop

[brightasclepiusadvice]

Genuinely best piece of advice I can give to people who are broke is to make a effort to ingratiate and befriend all kinds of people. Help them move, buy coffee for coworkers on lunch breaks, find out what their favorite movie and candy is, be a shoulder to cry on, spend four dollars to make a dollar store cake to share, organize potlucks and game nights.

Me? I’m broke. Really broke. Guess what having a support network is helping me with?

I have people offering me cheap rooms when I have to move. A friend of a friend is selling a trailer for 30,000 instead of 80 in the next year which I wouldn’t know about without her, and another friend is a financial adviser who is telling me what things have to look like to get that loan a year from now. I can’t go to the food bank bc it’s only open when I work, my friend who’s on social security who gets way to much food and also medicine like inhalers shares with me. I can carpool. I can split meals out. If someone decides they want to get rid of something like a tv or something I’m offered before goodwill is. One time my friend and her husband within one week paid for me to go to a haunted house and escape room that was $40 with them bc I’m basically her only friend and drive her around. She works at a gas station and gets free expired food and lets me have my pick of the lot, and when I can afford it we’ll go to Wendy’s together and argue about who pays the bill, I’ll leave five dollars in her jacket that I borrowed and have to run off before she can give it back.

I’m not friends with people to get stuff, I don’t ask them for things. I’m just kind to people, offer to give them rides or get them a small something when they’re having a rough day, and after that all I have to be is honest. Man I can’t wait for my own house so I don’t have to pay for the laundry mat. Man someday I’ll be rich enough to own a tv instead of watching things on my phone. And when they have hand me downs that they haven’t used in years or if they know about a sale or have a friend who’s looking for some work? You’re set.

Humans are social creatures. We are SUPPOSED to help each other out. Help and be kind to others on a regular basis and they will repay you. The bleeding heart you have, the struggle to not help everyone, other people have that too. They want friends to support them, and they want to help others. Give them the chance and the sign. Set aside five dollars a week if you can afford it and be kind. Pick up shifts, be a listening ear, offer rides, just be kind in whatever way you can to absolutely everyone.

[unironicduncanstan]

rating disney movie sequels ive seen from worst to best bc i can

12. pocahontas II: journey to a new world - caught sight of it on my tv one time, and as a child who was probably still identifying as republican at that point, i s2g it was so racist i could not finish it. ‘wait till he sees you’ gives me fuckin hives

11. tarzan II - its. tarzan as a kid. like just more young tarzan adventures and dont get me wrong its a cute idea but after about 5 minutes it gets so boring 

10.  atlantis: milos return - this one gets a lil bit of a pass bc from what i heard it was supposed to be a better sequel but that got canned and they were working on a spin off series too so they just like. took a couple of the episodes they were working on and stitched it into a movie. its like a bootleg parody of the first film and my family and i despite loving the original , once again, could not even finish this one. the only memorable part for me was kida picking up a life preserver presuming its a game and milo telling her you throw it to someone whos drowning and she responds “does this not make it difficult to play the game”

9. beauty and the beast: the enchanted christmas - not that bad, tim curry plays a great villian per usual, its just kinda confusing where and how it fits into the plot of the first film. and its like. Dark? perhaps scary? for a christmas movie??? i remember my mom didnt want me to watch it every year she’d dread it bc it was such a bummer lol

8. brother bear 2 - ok nah introducing the new girl character was actually a baller move, and the concept was pretty cool. they just didnt make it fit very well and ngl the entire rest of the movie also feels disconnected from the first. had a lot of good dots but no good connection ya dig. also even though they tried in the end it was still just a ‘we have to give this character a love interest’ movie which kinda trumps the whole reason the first movie revolved around brotherhood. it aint wife bear

7. cinderella II: dreams come true - i barely remember it i am literally just giving it this high of a rating bc the romance between the baker and one of the stepsisters was so fucking wholesome. that true love lives in my head bitch xoxo

6. the rescuers down under - i never saw the original so when i saw this on tv i thought it was the original , thats how quality it was imo. i just hardly remember it and had no real urge to seek it out again for years. its eye catching but not super duper memorable

5. the little mermaid II: return to the sea - ik most of the plot is just the first movie reversed but i actually rly liked the character melody and how they inverted a lot of the concepts, its just. a lot of it includes secondhand embarrassment and some of it rly is too lazy for me to ignore. solid B- for me

4. the lion king II: simbas pride - INCREDIBLE soundtrack, nothing can beat the first but its still Baller, and the newly introduced characters are all iconic. my only qualm is how like. the concept of bigoted simba is very hard to watch which ik ik it makes some sense with the events of the first movie but jfc my man does not have a great look in this one

3. mulan II - most ppl hate this one?? but i actually rly loved the princess characters and the music as well, i watched it a LOT growing up. the whole mushu trying to break up mulan and shang thing is equal parts entertaining and frustrating. and the animation is a tad bit... off. but like am i ever gonna FORGET mulan hanging off the bridge and reaching for her man and screaming with her entire heart? or the way she kinda parallels his ‘ping, hold on’ from the first movie with ‘shang, hang on’? no

2. peter pan II: return to neverland - broe....... howd they take the racist misogynistic trainwreck that was the first film and make this. its so fucking good, it has emotional depth and speaks to kids who feel they are being forced into growing up too fast by showcasing wendys daughter going thru WORLD WAR II and making her an incredibly realistic portrayal of a traumatized kid, pairing her with the happy go lucky peter pan and the lost boys who CANT grow up, symbolizing the death of her innocence with the way that her not believing in fairies is slowly killing tinkerbell, it all just makes for a really impactful movie. and even in a kids movie sense its just so entertaining and at times really funny and/or whimsical? not to mention the ‘i’ll try’ song/scene gets me crying every single time. beautiful movie dude the only reason its 2nd is bc it is , So emotional that im not always in the MOOD to watch it bc i have to prepare a little

1. the lion king 1 1/2 - god yes i fuckign loved and still love this one so much. the music is fire the comedy still makes me laugh so hard and the whole idea is so fucking genuinely clever. god bless whoever came up with this one i had it on dvd and im p sure i watched it for years till it was so scratched up it wouldnt play anymore, 11/10

mid-year book freakout tag

I was tagged by @flitwickslittlebrotha – thanks!! 💖 (sorry it took me so long to see this in my mentions 😓)

Best Book You’ve Read So Far in 2021      The Knockout Queen by Rufi Thorpe; it was the first new book I read this year and I think it ruined me – I havent had another 5 star read since :// Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far in 2021:      #murderfunding by Gretchen McNeil was some good, campy fun, and far surpassed the previous book. Honorable mention to The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco, bc I really haven’t read many sequels. New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To:      All Kinds of Other by James Sie. But I also don’t pay all that much attention to new releases, so I can list them all lol: Tell No Tales by Sam Maggs & Kendra Wells, The Captain (Tales of the Wendy #3) by Erin Michelle Sky & Steven Brown, and Peaces by Helen Oyeyemi. Most Anticipated Release For Second Half of 2021:      Out of Character by Annabeth Albert – it comes out July 6th, and since I’m typing this in the wee hours of July 5th, it qualifies :P Biggest Disappointment:      On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers; I bought this book back when potc4 came out and finally got around to it and it was NOT worth waiting 10+yrs for lmao. Honorable mention to The 2000s Made Me Gay by Grace Perry, which is a good book, but didn’t meet my (high) expectations. Biggest Surpise:      Again, The Knockout Queen, but runner up is Squared Away by Annabeth Albert; I’ve read most of this romance series, so I thought I knew exactly what to expect, but then a demisexual main character threw me for the biggest loop in the best way. Favorite New Author:      Rin Chupeco is the only new author I’ve read multiple books (2) by, and I do love her writing. Rufi Thorpe and Torrey Peters are gonna be faves soon, but I’ve only read one from each of them so far. Newest Fictional Crush:      Kate Kane (Iron & Velvet), Jas Singh (Girl Gone Viral), Kalen & Khalad, (The Bone Witch trilogy), and don’t @ me about this – James Hook (Tales of the Wendy trilogy)      [me: i don’t crush on characters anymore      also me: no no, they could get it] Newest Favorite Character:      Maybe it’s just because I read it so recently, but Reese, Katrina, and Ames from Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters really stuck with me. They felt so real and complex and true, like they were neighbors I could go visit. Book That Made You Cry This Year:      The Knockout Queen (again) and Detransition, Baby (again). Normally, I cry all the time – happy, sad, overwhelmed, etc, but I do think The Knockout Queen truly ruined me. After I finished it, I closed the ebook and just wept in the dark for a solid half hour. The only thing that’s come close since was Detransition, Baby, which was more overemotional/‘choked up’ than actual tears. Book That Made You Happy This Year:      The Wendy by Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown exceeded my expectations and was a fun adventure story, and again, Squared Away giving me a demi character in a romance novel made me practically giddy lol Favorite Book Adaptation You Saw This Year:      Does The Irregulars on netflix count? I don’t think I’ve seen any this year. Inversely, I’m reading The Princess Bride by WIlliam Goldman and enjoying it just as much as the movie. Favorite Review You’ve Written This Year:      Shocker: The Knockout Queen. But I’m also gonna be salty bc I think I’m better at writing 1 star reviews, so I’m also partial to my review of The Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks and The Loch by Steve Alten. Most Beautiful Book You Bought So Far This Year:      Radio Silence by Alice Oseman; I haven’t rly bought any books this year and when I have theyre either gifts or ones I’ve already read. This I bought w a xmas gift card lol What Books Do You Need To Read By the End of the Year:      Starsight by Brandon Sanderson (I’ve borrowed a copy I should eventually return lol), and aside from the stuff i’m in the middle of, I’d like to get around to Wicked by Gregory Maguire, Radio Silence by Alice Oseman, and Maurice by EM Forester. Those are soft goals though, I think I’ve actually gotten through most of the books I’d wanted to read this year.

damn that got long lol. uhhm who reads? I’m tagging @sp-aced-out, @alianvna, @waynedrake, @kimabutch, and @sunflowremoji (feel free to sit out if you don’t wanna!) And anyone else, if you see this and wanna participate, do it & tag me! I’d love to talk more books!

[jihyosforehead]

can i get some seulrene angst please

delicious yes i got u (fair warning this is pre long!!!)  …

seulrene meet in their university library

irene is sitting alone at her regular table, trying and failing to study for her advanced statistics test

in the middle of daydreaming about dropping out, seulgi turns up asking if she can sit at irenes table bc everywhere else is full

irene blinks and stares dumbly bc seulgi is lowkey the most adorable human being she has ever seen (the sweater paws are doing something to her heart)

and irene is distracted because seulgi is watching her lecture, knees pulled to her chest, elbows propping her head up, the tips of her fingers peaking out from her sleeves. irene feels her stomach flip uncomfortably

seulgi comes to her table again the next day and the day after that and at the end of the fourth time they sit together, seulgi starts leaving irene little snacks and finally introduces herself after realising she doesnt actually know irenes name

eventually they hang out outside of the library and realise they have mutual friends (seulgi with wendy and irene with yeri; and yeri and wendy with each other)

one day their whole group was meant to hang out but literally everyone bailed citing “personal emergencies” but seulrene didn’t realise this until theyre sitting in a cafe just the two of them

and it’s awkward at first but irene makes a joke about their friends being dumb and they go into this whole tangent of stories about their lives and they look at the time and they might as well get dinner since it’s late and they still wanna continue their conversation

irenes never met a person who could make her scream laugh so loud that people start staring

irenes regular table at the library becomes irene and seulgi’s regular table at the library and somewhere between that day in the cafe and right now, thursday afternoon approximately 3:43pm, does irene realise she has the biggest fattest crush on seulgi

and so she remembers seulgi’s fav snacks, remembers when seulgi’s tests are and helps her study for them, remembers her favourite movies and exhibitions she wants to see, remembers where she always loses her keys and has a sixth sense for when seulgi’s about to trip over her feet

and seulgi for all her clumsiness has a knack for understanding irene’s cold front and chips away at it, and it’s too late for irene to realise that seulgi has crawled her way into her heart and taken up permanent residence there

(she thinks she doesnt mind it)

seulgi runs off to the bathroom for a second and the open notebook catches her eye and irene finds herself picking it up to look at it more closely and it’s a drawing of her, looking otherworldly, almost unreal and irene is shookt. the book slips out of her hands and it lands on another page and it’s irene sipping some coffee, she flips the page and it’s of irene taking a nap, flips the page and it’s irene laughing - the notebook is snatched out of her hands unexpectedly and irene looks up to seulgi is standing there red-faced, stammering, apologetic and horrified but at the same time shes trying to be stern like “you cant just look at peoples things without permission! !!!1!” but irene is just like “this is how you see me?” and it’s a soft™ moment and seulgi has developed foot in mouth syndrome and is like “well yeah! u kind of mean everything 2 me u absolute dumbass !!!”

they start dating - to absolutely no ones surprise

their first kiss is in the middle of a lowkey night, theyre watching movies on irenes laptop in her dorm and sharing a blanket - tbh irene stopped watching the movie about 20 mins ago in place of studying seulgi’s side profile in wonder, her fingers twitching trying not to brush the strand of hair away from seulgi’s forehead. she settles for arranging the blanket more securely around seulgi’s shoulders just in case shes cold, you know? seulgi’s watching her the whole time and when irene looks up, seulgi’s eyes are just sparkly with fond affection and maybe love? but that thought is quickly cut off when seulgi presses her lips to irenes, so softly and gently and carefully that irene feels tears prick the corners of her eyes, she feels like shes going to break

but after that theres so many kisses. kisses in the library, forehead kisses, kisses before class, after class, any time in between; did well on a test? a kiss! did really badly on a test? a kiss!! maybe even an extra one! courtyard kisses, kisses in irenes dorm, in seulgi’s dorm, kisses at breakfast, lunch and dinner, just so many kisses!!

it’s a quiet sunday and seulgi and irene are redoing irenes dorm because seulgi scuffed the wall so badly it needs repainting and why not make a day of it? so here irene is, painting the wall, where it meets the floor bc her gf is clumsy but she is adorable and irene is in love, she thinks she’ll remember this day when theyre old and wrinkly and married

irene notices seulgi pulling away, distancing herself, acting weirdly guilty about something? irene thinks maybe shes done something wrong? is seulgi getting tired of her? tired of the relationship? it goes on for awhile and theres a heavy tension between them so thick, it’s almost tangible. and then one day when seulgi’s bailed on another date, irene shuts down. doesn’t know what to think. maybe seulgi doesnt love her anymore? maybe shes bored? irene knows that sometimes she can be really heavy handed with her affection but ever since seulgi’s pulled away, irene figured that maybe she wants space

seulgi turns up at irenes dorm, uninvited. irene swings the door open to find her gf looking equal parts sheepish and guilty. but shes holding a bag of food from irenes favourite restaurant, irene lets her in.

seulgi explains, hand rubbing the back of her neck, that when she gets into a funk, she just needs to go off and think on her own and is apologising for shutting irene out. irene is quick to forgive her. but as the night goes on, it’s clear that seulgi is feeling guilty for some other reason and when asked, seulgi just. she looks so sad

“a few weeks before we met, i applied for this arts school and i got a letter about 2 weeks ago saying that i got in. it’s really competitive and they only have a few spots available for international students and I didn’t think I’d even get in and I forgot but i got in. I got in,” seulgi whispers. almost as if, any louder and the words would be real.

“did u think i was going to beg you to stay here or something?” irene asks, softly. seulgi frowns deeply.

“no. i knew you were gonna tell me to go. but i don’t want to go. i want to be here with you,” seulgi tells her, desperately, voice cracking.

“u huge idiot, do u think that i wouldnt wait for u??? i would wait forever u huge dumbass!!!!”

the evening takes an obvious downturn. but they try not to notice. the next few weeks are seulrene trying to spend as much time together as possible. irene is trying her best to memorise what seulgi feels like in her arms; how she breathes when she’s asleep; the noises she makes when irene is pinning her to the sheets, marking her neck purple with bruises; how seulgi looks like shes close to tears when irenes made her laugh so hard that she snorts; the little fond sighs seulgi sends irenes way when she catches her staring over their morning coffee; how small she looks in an oversized sweater with the sleeves engulfing her hands completely; the way seulgi’s hands feel, fingers threaded through hers; how she likes to kiss irenes shoulder when theyre in bed; how for some reason when seulgi eats chewing with her mouth open it’s adorable instead of disgusting; and how irene is constantly brushing crumbs off seulgi’s clothes. irene tries her best to remember the slip of seulgi’s spine; the way she looks fully sated and satisfied; how seulgi’s eyes, dark and wide, always regard her with warm, open affection; how they can lay side by side in bed saying nothing for hours but irene doesnt need to hear words to know what seulgi’s feeling

but irene knows it isnt enough

because 2 weeks later, seulgi’s on a plane to paris with irenes heart in her hands and the kiss they share in the airport feels bitterly like a final goodbye

seulgi lands and sends irene photos of her food and the buildings and the friends she’s already made. and irene smiles wistfully

they facetime, and send each other texts every few hours, and schedule “dates” but the distance is so palpable that irene feels her heart ache something new whenever she sees seulgi’s red-rimmed eyes, yawning while sipping on a huge mug of coffee

“we should break up,” irene says. she can feel her heart crack at her own words, the tears visible on seulgi’s lashes even through the shitty facetime quality

“w-why?” seulgi sniffs

“because this isn’t working for us, this distance is going to ruin us completely,” irene finds herself saying, voice wooden and stiff. and she knows shes right because she knows seulgi’s grades arent as good as they could be and irene has failed a test and an assignment already

“wait for me,” seulgi is begging and irene is nodding her head frantically, promising tearfully over and over again that she would wait forever if she had to

so they break up that tuesday night, seulgi in paris and irene in korea. this has to be the worst facetime she’s ever had in her whole life.  

it hurts like nothing shes ever imagined, irene thinks shes never cried this much in her life. and she thinks shes doing well but she catches a whiff of seulgi’s perfume on her hoodie one day and it starts a fresh wave of gut-wrenching tears and her heart cracks into tiny, little pieces all over again

they don’t speak for literal years

but irene knows seulgi’s doing pretty well; she’s already held a few exhibitions, according to wendy. irenes graduated and doing okay for herself at a nice cushy job

wendy didn’t tell her that seulgi was back in korea though, but irene is pretty sure seulgi is back because she would recognise that laugh and perfume anywhere

seulgi turns around and her eyes finds irenes and seulgi is making a beeline towards her. irenes pulse is jumping erratically

“hey irene, it’s been awhile,” seulgi says, giving her a warm look. she looks older. more mature. holds herself like she knows shes grown up. but, irene thinks, fondly, painfully, her voice is exactly the same. wraps irenes name in her mouth exactly the same as she did 6 years ago

“hey,” irene replies, with a smile of her own.

“i want to introduce you to someone,”seulgi says, a grin turning up her face, and beckons a tall, intimidatingly beautiful woman over, “this is sooyoung,” seulgi’s smile grows even brighter and irene feels her heart plummet, connecting the dots, “my fiancee.”

“o-oh, it’s very nice to meet you,” irene is saying, trying her best to sound sincere but she sounds so monotone and robotic and wooden, her throat is closing up and her heart has almost stopped completely, and she has to leave before she starts crying all over seulgi again

so maybe seulgi moved on without telling irene

and maybe irene never moved on. and maybe irene had always waited around for seulgi

maybe waiting forever wasn’t a good idea after all, irene thinks wryly, sitting in her apartment alone, uselessly wiping hot tears from her face that don’t seem to stop no matter how much she tries

irenes not sure how, but it hurts more than that night 6 years ago and shes never felt a pain so profound that it goes all the way to her bones; shes sitting on the floor crying and she feels so ridiculous for thinking this but shes looking at the spot where the wall meets the floor and she realises she didn’t paint it very well

[belleofhell]

So @jake-marshall didn’t technically tag me but I’m doing this anyway bc I like talking about myself and movies I like. Here’s seven movies I consider to be comfort movies!

Peter Pan

I could really pick just about any animated Disney movie from up to the early 2000s and it would be a comfort movie for me. Anything from The Rescuers to Beauty and the Beast to Lilo and Stitch. But Peter Pan has got to be the comfiest for me ❤️ At the ripe old age of 4 Peter Pan was my first crush and my favorite game was to pretend to be Wendy and make my mom play every other character and I’d get mad when she didn’t have her lines memorized like I did lol. Wendy and Peter are just Peak Romance for me and I love them. I’d kind of like to write a book using the Peter Pan characters/universe and I’ve got some ideas but we’ll see if I ever get around to it lol. Fun fact! My tattoo was almost Peter Pan related but I switched to a rose instead.

How to Train Your Dragon

I’m trying to incorporate movies that came out when I was a variety of ages rather than just choosing a bunch of movies that came out before I was born even though it is SO tempting to do that. I think I was 11 or 12 when httyd came out? That was such a crazy time in my life and not everything was good but I remember the night I first saw this movie so well and at least for that night everything was good. I was with new friends on the roof of a car at a drive in. This is probably the first movie I saw with Charly, who I’m still friends with today. What’s not to love about this movie? The dragons! The characters! The story! Everything is wonderful! I also loved the other two movies and even kinda got involved in the fandom after the 2nd one but the 1st movie will always be the best.

Life of Pi

I’m such a nerd for animated moves and they’re by far my favorite but there’s a few live action movies I love and Life of Pi is one of them. Although I’m not really religious now, I grew up in a really religious family and somewhere around my teens I got really fed up with religious movies. They always seemed so fake and trying too hard to be inspirational. I first saw Life of Pi when it was assigned to us in a film studies class I was taking as a sophomore in college. And oh my god it’s how you do a religious movie right. This movie is stunning from start to finish and and heart wrenching in the best way. I guess it’s kinda weird to call a comfort movie heart wrenching but hey sometimes you need your heart to be wrenched.

My Hero Academia: Two Heroes

A couple years ago my brother introduced me to mha and we started watching it together. I didn’t really get into it until the 2nd season when things really started picking up and now it’s definitely one of my top favorite anime. Most of the time when my family goes to see movies we typically are all interested in the same movies so we all go together. When Two Heroes came out it was a really fun opportunity for just me and my brother to go out and see a movie. I love superhero stuff so much and this movie is just so much fun.

Harry Potter

I can’t really pick a single movie from the series since the whole thing is so comforting to me. This is turning into Oversharing Hour but it’s almost 5am as I’m writing this one so fuck it!! My sister was diagnosed with really really bad Multiple Sclerosis back when I was in high school. Most people can live a pretty normal life with MS but her’s is bad enough that she has to live in a nursing home and she’s pretty confused all the time. She loved Harry Potter and still does. I didn’t really get into Harry Potter until after she got sick, which is something I regret everyday, but seeing her smile when I give her Harry Potter socks or something equally silly makes me so happy. So when I watch a Harry Potter movie, not only do I get to enjoy a world and characters I absolutely love, but I get to feel a little closer to my sister too. ❤️

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I love me some superhero shit and Spider-Man has been my fave superhero since I was a kid. Peter Parker is such a huge comfort character for me in any version. Marvel, Sony, comics, cartoons, whatever. You could probably call any Spider-Man movie a comfort movie for me but I decided to go with spider-verse bc it’s just so good. So, so good. It’s beautiful to look at and a wonderful story with such fun characters and I just love seeing Peter as a sad middle aged man.

Birds of Prey

I saw this movie in theaters three times. Three times. I love it so much. It has to be one of the craziest, funnest movies on the planet. I’m in love with every woman in this movie. I’m just hopelessly gay, really. I love antiheroes and I love ladies and I love creatively choreographed fight scenes and this movie has plenty of all of them. It’s great if you want to turn something on and not think for a while but it’s also great if you want to actually sit down and think hard about it bc there’s plenty to dissect if you feel like it. The protagonists are great, the antagonists are great, the aesthetic is great. Everything is great.

There we go! I think that’s seven! I tried to pick a large variety of different types of movies but I’m now realizing I picked a lot of superhero stuff lmao oh well. I guess that’s accurate to me. Superheroes and animation.

If you managed to read this massive wall of text all the way to the end congrats! And thanks for tuning in I guess lol. I tag anyone who happens to see this and feels like doing it!

Pretty (Soulmate!AU)

Part 1 bc tumblr’s a bitch

A/N: This is the long one I was talking about sorry it’s shit though

Word Count (for the whole thing): 2154 (ooh boy)

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: Swearing

Soulmates. Everyone knew they were your other half, your perfect counterpart. Everyone was born with a soulmark on their wrist dictating the first thing their soulmate would say to them. Yours was I can’t just talk to a pretty girl like that! Which was kinda sweet, you’d once thought. But then you’d realized your soulmate was probably going to be talking about some other girl. So after that, you kind of gave up on finding your soulmate. You just lived normally and didn’t let it bother you. Well, you tried to not let it bother you.

It was late Thursday evening, and you were working your last shift at the local Wendy’s. The place was pretty empty except for a couple of guys in a booth talking to each other. They were both making exaggerated gestures and seemed to be having a pretty heated argument. Finally one of them got up.

“I can’t just talk to a pretty girl like that!” the shorter one of the two muttered, walking past you to put his empty cup in the trash. You barely even registered what he had said. He was... actually super fucking cute, which was just great. There were no other girls here, so you realized he must be talking about you.

“Actually, I wouldn’t mind if you talked to me,” you called out. Oh shit, did I just say that, he’s going to think I’m weird. Why did I do that?

He stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Oh God he thinks I’m a freak.

But he just stood there in shock.

And then it hit you. What he’d said. Oh God I’m an idiot.

His friend was smiling and giving him two giant thumbs up from their table. He rolled down his sleeve in silent disbelief, revealing the words:

Actually, I wouldn’t mind if you talked to me

You rolled down your own sleeve to show the words that had come out of his mouth just seconds earlier:

I can’t just talk to a pretty girl like that!

You both stood there awkwardly for a few seconds.

“I, uh, I’m Jeremy,” he stammered, shoving his glasses back up his nose.

“Y/N.”

“Well, uh it’s nice to meet you, Y/N.” He glanced over to his friend, who was miming writing something down. He nodded and, quickly grabbing a pen out of his pocket and scribbling something down, turned back to you.

“Here’s my number, if you wanna, like, talk or something,” he mumbled as he handed the paper to you, suddenly nervous all over again.

You smiled. “Yeah, I think I will.”

Jeremy and his friend left and you kept grinning. You’d finally found your soulmate!

Once your shift was done, you texted your best friend Zoe:

met cute guy @ work!

and he’s my soulmate!

AND i got his number!

Oh my God Y/N that’s amazing!

Wish I could meet my soulmate

don’t be so sad, zo! you’ll find your soulmate!

...i sound like the sappiest person alive

No you don’t, I just wish I could meet my soulmate sooner

you’ll find them!! now go to sleep, it’s like 10

Yes ma’am

You went to bed, though you wondered when you would see Jeremy again.

He came back a few days later, but this time his glasses were gone and he was wearing an Eminem t-shirt. He seemed to carry a new cocky swagger in his step, and you weren’t sure what to think of it.

“Eminem? Are people still into him?” you asked. You laughed at your own criticality, not waiting for him to respond. “I wouldn’t know anyway, my taste in music isn’t exactly.. mainstream.”

“Like, indie music and stuff?” He was still clueless as ever.

“More like musicals.” You immediately cringed, expecting him to laugh at you.

Instead, he just nodded. “Cool.”

“You lost the glasses,” you said, tucking a stray piece of hair behind your ear.

“Yeah, they, uh—“ Jeremy stopped mid sentence, a look of intense pain on his face. “Are you okay?” you asked worriedly.

“Fine,” he choked out, “I’m perfectly fine.”

You frowned. He didn’t look fine. But he obviously didn’t want to talk about it.

“I don’t have any contacts, and I’m really nearsighted, so that’s a fun thing,” he said, voice dripping with sarcasm.

You laughed lightly. “Cool, what can I get you?”

“Actually, I’m not getting anything. Just wanted to say hi.”

“Oh. Okay,” you said, bobbing your head up and down. And with that, he left, leaving you confused and bewildered.

One day he came with a pretty girl who you assumed was his girlfriend. You felt a pang of jealousy as you tapped at the register.

Every time he stuttered or went to scratch his neck, he immediately sat bolt upright as if he had been shocked. The girl noticed too, and had to leave halfway through the date, something about not wanting to miss play rehearsal. Jeremy slumped back in his seat, disappointed.

You couldn’t help but wonder if somehow he’d forgotten about you. You were his soulmate, after all. You’d always assumed that when you met your soulmate, you would immediately click and be inseparable, two halves of a whole. That you would always have him close by. But he was right here, and somehow he felt farther away than ever.

He didn’t come in for a few weeks after that, and you were beginning to get worried. You quickly typed up a text on your way driving home from work.

hey are you okay

The response came a few minutes later.

Yeah, I should be out of the hospital any day now

The hospital? Fuck, had something happened? Your mind raced with possibilities, each worse than the last. You typed another message, hoping to ease your anxiety.

jeremy?

why are you in the hospital?

It’s a long story but basically there were these like tic tacs that help you to be cool and they’re from Japan and mine kind of tried to take over all of human civilization so yeah

You frowned. What the actual, genuine fuck?

jeremy what the fuck

Obviously some really weird shit was going down. You swerved your car around in a Uturn to get to the hospital. You kept your eyes trained on the road, while a notification lit up your phone screen out of the corner of your eye.

I told you it was a long story!

Stopping at a red light, you quickly typed a reply.

yeah no shit

jesus christ

at least you’re okay

How did you know I was MIA anyway?

you haven’t shown up at wendy’s for four weeks

Honestly I just went there to see you the food is kinda shitty

You pulled up to the ER parking lot.

yeah lmao

but seriously

why didn’t you just ask me out once we figured out we were soulmates?

You didn’t wait for a response, already getting out of your car and slamming the door shut. Your phone lit up again with the notifications.

I was scared, I guess

I mean, it’s just you are literally the person the universe destined me for, no pressure or anything

I just didn’t want to try and then screw this up

You responded as you walked into the ER waiting room.

no i get it

it’s kinda intense

but since we’re kinda destined for each other and all

wanna go to lunch on sunday?

I don’t even know if I’ll be out of here by then

“I’m looking for Jeremy Heere?” you asked the receptionist. She nodded, finished her phone call, and typed something up.

“What is your relation to him?” she asked, her attention flickering back to you.

“Significant other,” you said, even though you’d never actually been on a date. But you were his soulmate, and that must have counted for something, right?

“He’s in Room 102, dear,” she smiled.

“Great, thanks,” you almost shouted, already running to his room. You burst through the door and found Jeremy.

He looked so fragile attached to all the tubes and wires. There were dark bags under his eyes, and his glasses were back.

“Oh my god are you okay?” You asked, taking a tentative step towards him.

He cracked a brief smile. “Oh, no, definitely not,” he quipped.

“So,” you said, perching on the edge of the bed, “what the everloving fuck is a Squip?”

He spent the next half hour explaining the whole situation. The Halloween party, the Squip, the play. All of it. When he finally finished you whispered, “Holy shit.”

“Yeah. I understand if you wanna, like, never talk to me again or something,” he mumbled.

“Why would I do that?”

“Why wouldn’t you? I literally almost doomed the entire human race. You deserve a better soulmate.”

“No, I don’t. You’re amazing. You’re smart and funny and really cute. Besides, I don’t think there are refunds on soulmates. Maybe we could catch a movie?”

He smiled a little. “Yeah. I’ll text you as soon as I get out.”

“I’ll see you then,” you said, leaving the room.

Three days later you got a text from Jeremy.

I’m out of the hospital

finally!

So, um

I was thinking we could see a movie tonight?

sounds good!

your choice!

pick me up @ 9

You don’t have to if you don’t want to

Oh lol

You sat on your couch, tapping your foot as you watched the clock. Eight fifty-seven, eight fifty-eight, eight fifty-nine, nine.

You glanced at the door. He was almost here, hopefully, definitely not standing you up...

The doorbell rang, and you sprang up and ran to it in a flash of nervous energy. You opened the door, grinning, to find Jeremy standing there looking about as nervous as you felt.

“Is it gonna be weird if my dad drives us?” he asked gesturing to the unfamiliar car in the driveway.

“It’s fine.”

He relaxed. “Okay, cool, good.”

You two were a bit squished together in the backseat, and Jeremy’s dad made some remark about how happy he was his son found his soulmate. The ride was overall a bit awkward, but you chatted with Jeremy. Turned out you went to the same school—what were the odds?

Mr. Heere pulled up to the theatre. “Welp, this is where I leave you kiddos. Have fun!” he called as you stepped out. You couldn’t wait to see what movie Jeremy had picked.

When you looked at the tickets you found, surprisingly enough, it was a romcom. You teased him about it a bit. He just shrugged and said, “I always like a good love story.”

“Okay, dude,” you laughed, buttering the popcorn.

At one point during the movie, you laughed exceptionally loudly at a pun that was so bad it was fucking hilarious. Jeremy couldn’t really pay attention to the movie, though. He was more focused on your bright smile and beautiful laugh. You swore it was the ugliest laugh ever, but to him, it was angelic, like tinkling bells. You noticed him looking at you.

“What?” you asked, a bit defensive.

“Um, can, can I kiss you?” he asked anxiously, sure you’d say no.

“Yeah,” was all you could think to say.

And he kissed you, and honestly you had no clue what you were doing, you just knew this was right, somehow. You pulled back eventually, your face bright red. Jeremy noticed and went almost as red as you.

“I’m sorry, was that bad? I don’t really—“ he started to ramble, only to be cut off by you.

“No, it’s just, I’ve never, y’know, done that before,” you admitted.

“Seriously? How?”

“This might shock you, but being who I am, I don’t exactly have a line of guys falling at my feet. Let’s just—watch the movie, okay?”

He nodded. “Okay.”

“No Fault In Our Stars references.”

“That’s fair.”

Soon enough the credits rolled around. You couldn’t quite remember when, but at some point, engrossed in the movie, you had slipped your hand into Jeremy’s. Neither of you had let go yet.

“Now that I know you like chick flicks, does this mean you wanna watch The Notebook next time?” you joked as you two walked out of the theatre, your hands still intertwined.

He made a face. “Definitely not.”

You giggled. “Okay, okay,” you said, throwing your free hand up in mock defeat.

“My dad’s gonna drive us back, too.”

21 Birthday - Part 3

Part 1 || Part 2

pairing: Diego x Reader

requested: sort of?

prompts: your soulmate’s name appears on your wrist when you turn 21

summary: Reader turns 21 and her soulmate’s name hasn’t appeared on her wrist

warnings: mentions of some drinking but nothing excessive

there might be a lot of mistakes!

feedback is always appreciated! hope you like it!

Wendy sat beside you, curiously rubbing at your wrist with her thumb. Her eyes waiting for something - anything to happen.

"Maybe it's the lack of sleep," your cousin, Jason, stated. He looked over your shoulder as he brushed past the back of your seat heading for the kitchen. "I mean, you have been under so much stress lately!" He yelled from the kitchen as he rummaged through his fridge.

"He's right, maybe it'll just taking a while," you agreed, though you had your doubts. If your soulmate's name hasn't appeared in the last few hours, you were sure it never will. "I'm sure the name will appear before midnight."

You had woken up that day, excited to know who you are destined to be with. But upon seeing your naked wrist, you were meant with nothing but disappointment and panic. You instantly feared you have fallen in the category of the 'extras,' the ones who lived without a soulmate simply because there was no one for them.

This was something you have looked forward too for years already - since the day you understood what romance was. You absorbed the science behind soulmates, you even read books based on the romance between soulmates, and have even dragged friends and family to see the movies with you. In other words, you were a romantic, you couldn't help yourself. Finding your soulmate was what you were looking forward too and now, you might not even have one.

"Stop looking at it," Jason came back and swatted Wendy's hand off you. Wendy scowled in response but did as he wished. "I know this guy from work and he didn't get his soulmate's name until like, 11 pm? Yeah, 11. He said he didn't care if he had one or not but he totally freaked," Jason tried to comfort you, taking the empty seat next to you on the couch. He rested his feet on the coffee table and began to noisily eat his bag of chips.

"Yeah, but you have heard of people who don't have a soulmate, right?" Wendy stated, burning holes into the side of Jason's head. The two always butted heads and would do anything to piss the other off, yet, they were like best friends. "Can you imagine how lonely that i-"

"Gee, thanks," you muttered and stood up heading for the hallway to the guest bedroom you were staying the night in. "I'm gonna go get ready for tonight, I guess."

"Yeah, sure," Jason replied and when he believed you were out of earshot, you heard him snap at Wendy. "Will you shut it, already? Make her cry why don't ya? This was all she talked about when we were kids and now, well, you can already see the heartbreak on he-" and you closed the door behind you.

Hours later, you found yourself drinking some wine and celebrating your 21st birthday with your friends. You were sitting on the ground, humming along to the music the record was wafting into the living room.

Jason decided it would be a good idea to celebrate at his apartment since you didn't want anything over the top. He and Wendy had gone grocery shopping while you got ready for the night and even decorated the room a little. Balloons littered the ground and were occasionally being tossed at one another, a table was placed against the wall filled with chips and candy, and they even invited your close friends.

"What if it's a lawyer?" Your friend, Kate stated, winking over at Diego, though you didn't know why because she was talking directly to you. "Lawyers are cute."

"Very argumentative though, no thanks," you replied placing three cards down on the table. Wendy groaned when she saw the three cards and glared.

"How would you know?" Diego teased and pulled a card from the middle, looked at it, decided he didn't need it and set it on the pile on the right.

"What if I don't have one? I'm going to die alone," you laughed dryly and threw some popcorn into your mouth. Then you reached for the card Diego just dropped and added it to the three cards you had set on the table completely your group of 2's.

"I wouldn't say that," Diego nudged your arm, sending you a reassuring smile while you dropped a card into the pile in the right in replacement to the one Diego dropped. "You never know, it could happen."

"But it won't," you insisted, making him roll his eyes at your exaggeration. His eyes held something, maybe hope or adoration, you weren't sure but you were pretty sure you were seeing things too, after all, he did just roll his eyes. And Diego was anything but soft most of the times, so adoration aimed at you was unlikely. "It's okay, I've accepted it. I'll just be that one annoyed, weird aun-"

"There is no way you came to terms with that so fast," Felix, one of Diego's and your friend, stated giving you a concerned look. If anyone here could read you like a book, besides Jason, it was Felix. With just one look he gave you, you were already spilling everything to him. He just had this comforting, soft aura around him.

"I'm sure the name will turn up," Diego reassured, pulling your attention back to him. Even sitting on the ground beside him, he still made you feel small, his head had to be tilted down just so he can look into your eyes. His gaze sending a shiver down your spine and the butterflies in your stomach coming to life.

"Easy for you to say, you already know your soulmate's name, it's just a matter of finding her now," you told him as you set your cards down and grabbed your drink, deciding you were done playing. You avoided meeting his gaze and focused looking into the glass of wine in your fingertips.

"What if I already found her?" Diego asked, and Wendy dropped the bag of chips she was currently working through. Everyone turned their attention to him but his gaze remained on you.

"You what?"

"When?"

"Who is she?"

Diego ignored their questions and when they got the hint, they all went back to what they were doing. Some continued the game and skipped over the two of you, others continued to mess with the music playing, some just lounged around the living room.

"Then I think you're crazy for being here and not with her," you answered, briefly glancing over at him. You're eyes looking at anything but him

Diego gave you a ridiculous look like you just said the dumbest thing in the world and he grabbed his beer that sat beside him and took a quick sip of it. "I'm right where I want to be, Y/N."

Wendy heard him from the other side of the room, giving a suspicious look between you both but remained quiet. She always had a suspicion that Diego had a thing for you but she knew for a fact that you were not his soulmate. Well, at least that's what Diego has told her.

"We're just bumming around here and you're telling me you'd rather be here than with your soulmate?" You questioned, eyeing him as he only shrugged in response. There was no way you believed that. You knew Diego so well that there had to be a reason why he was here and not with that Chloe girl. "If I had a so-"

"You do have one," Diego interrupted, turning to you but you ignored him just like everyone was pretending to ignore the both of you but were actually listening in.

"If I had a soulmate," you continued, ignoring him but looking at him directly, feeling like no one else was in the crowded room. "I'd be all over him than be here."

Diego smiled softly at you and for a moment, it looked like he was about to kiss you. You could have sworn you saw his eyes flicker down to your lips before meeting your eyes again. "Well then, he'll be a lucky guy," he responded, voice low and only the people close to you both could hear. But everyone around you pretended not to.

"Oh no, Hargreeves, I'd be the lucky one," you commented, taking a sip of your wine as Diego shook his head.

"Believe me, sweets, he'd be the lucky one," he admitted, feeling an itch on his wrist and the sudden urge to show you his marked skin was intensifying.

SHE RISES

Steph here! You’re all probably wondering why I disappeared and everything. (Or not it’s been like 3 years get over yourself)

Miss Steph found herself around the “popular crowd” at school. One friend that she made, and her whole life turned around. She started hanging out w/ people she normally rolled her eyes at or never even dreamt of speaking to. Although I can’t recap everything, I was balancing “two lives” basically. So I figured to focus on the superficial life I would go on a hiatus. I ended up falling in love with that girl who ended up being my best friend at the time (but that didn’t last). She manipulated me a LOT and got me to do a lot of things I never even dreamt of doing. Long story short she stopped being my friend bc she said I was passive aggressive and negative but she was basically just describing herself and she didn’t want to say that I wasn’t “cool enough” for her. I don’t wanna talk shit or anything bc I could really end sis right here right now. Even though she’d never see this!  I had other friends in that school that she thought were lame but I loved them so yeah there’s that. We did typical teenage (and illegal) things.... I’ve been corrupted. No more innocent Steph. I’m probably more like Wendy now than I was back then tbh... So I switched schools because I moved and fast forward to me getting a boyfriend. Things happened and we couldn’t break up because it was one of those toxic relationships. I don’t wanna really go into detail but it really messed with my self esteem and self worth. Once we officially broke up after him finally admitting to not even loving me anymore (WHICH WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY CRUISE SMH) I felt so lost. I sworn I would never love again or become lesbian lol. (Btw your girl experimented and I gotta change my sexual orientation on my mun page now HHAHHAHAH) But I didn’t even expect to find the love of my life literally a month later... He makes me SUPER HAPPY!! He’s literally a model and I still don’t know why he settled down with weird self. I went to sadies and prom with him and it was just like the movies!! If you’re still in high school and you’re debating going to the things: DO IT. Trust me. You won’t regret it. Ok that was a lot of talking I’m just gonna tell you how I’m in college now studying biology but I want to be a wildlife ecologist and I still have crippling social anxiety and depression and that it’S GOOD TO BE BACK :P
