#beach episode gone wrong lmao | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

I'm really enjoying the live-action show. It's different, but I think some changes are improvements, some changes are neutral, and some changes are for the worse. Overall, I'd say it's about as good of an adaptation as the East Blue anime is (factoring in the changes the anime made).

Syrup Village is a great example, they cut Jango (though you do see his Bounty poster, so he still exists in canon), but they also made Kaya's illness be the result of Butchie poisoning her and part of Kuro's plan. Luffy drinks the poison soup and that replaces the scene of him unconscious from hypnosis. Zoro has to climb out of a well, and that replaces him climbing up an oil-covered hill and also sets up for Mihawk saying he's a frog in a well. They also change the setting for the battle from a beach to inside the mansion, introducing a horror theme to the story which rachets up the tension a lot more. Sham is also gender-bent and super cute.

And it's not wrong to say the showrunners understand and love the characters and the world. All of the bottles of alcohol are brands in One Piece, the barrel Luffy gets into has the name of the fishmonger from his village, Garp mentions that he's turned down multiple promotions, Nami reads Noland the Liar to Zoro while he's unconscious after his fight with Mihawk, Arlong introduces Fishman discrimination.

I think it's best experienced from the perspective of "it's going to be different, and that's okay". The characters are written a little differently, but not in a bad way. They still feel like the characters at their core, Inaki's Luffy and Taz's Sanji are two stand-outs, they're fantastic.

I understand if it's just not for you, and you did watch one episode, so I can't say you didn't give it a chance at all. I just feel like you and the others are being too harsh on it. It's way better than any other live-action anime adaptation I've ever seen.

I appreciate this anon and I do think the poison change works, but there's certainly a 1 good thing for 9 bad things ratio going on. Because in all fairness, I am going to be extremely critical of a 20 year old series that's making an adaptation with a 17 million dollar budget per episode - especially from Netflix. If I'm being approached by friends who were actually excited for this series and they came out of it disappointed, somehow I don't think I'm gonna have a good time myself. I'm watching One Piece for One Piece, I don't think I should go into an adaptation thinking this is gonna be different in STORY and CHARACTER. I can accept changes for medium, of course, but there are so many absolutely bizarre changes that literally do nothing. You don't go from the manga to the anime and think "Well if I just disconnect these characters from their original selves, I can soak this in fine" because in all honesty, that probably means it's a bad adaptation if you need to work to see what you want to see.

Also the 'frog in the well' thing is exactly my point of this script just slamming you in the face with what it's trying to do, we are not meant to take that literally. The well is the east blue that Zoro lives in, not a literal well lmao. It's a nice cheeky idea to have, but the goofiness of Zoro's character is removed from the scene where he's trying to run up a greased hill like an idiot. Because yes, even THAT scene served a purpose for Zoro's character and how we view him. It's definitely subjective to say the characters are written differently but not in a bad way, because ripping away parts of a character to leave them as this Frankenstein version of themselves is personally not something I want? Why would I WANT all the goofiness and stupidness taken out of Zoro? It might be good for some, but it just feels like a total downgrade and misunderstanding of his character to me. Same goes for Sanji just being this artsy guy who's complaining cause he can't make the dishes he wants, with his over dramatic, angry, violent flare completely gone. Those changes being good or bad are completely up to you, but I am personally just made to see a hollowed out, dumbed down version of them because I liked these characters as I originally met them and that's what made them stand out.

I appreciate the time they put into the sets, I do think the visual world was made well (although it could've used a bit more style), but the little physical details mean absolutely nothing if I can't even FEEL the magic the original gave me. A set does not make a series, 1000 strawhats will not make me see Luffy unless he is written to be Luffy, and that's the problem. I don't want to watch an adaptation that removes the most emotional and impactful moments of my favourite character just to replace it with a fight or to focus on ANOTHER character they've deemed more important. I am going to be critical because these characters mean a lot to me, and I am expecting to feel from an adaptation what I felt from the original with such characters. An adaptation does not mean making things different just for differences sake. I am glad you enjoyed it anon, as many people have, but if I'm watching something that's literally called One Piece and have been told this is an adaptation of One Piece - with the producers even saying they want to put the manga on the screen, mind you - I am going to go in there expecting One Piece, from the characters to the story. I shouldn't have to do the work in my own head and go "Well, they did their best!", especially at a million dollar Netflix production...sigh

#ask #sorry that was long winded and I am not trying to be mean here but we gotta remember this was not a fun arthouse project made by fandom #this a corporate made project looked over by netflix. we are allowed to be critical about it and want better of it

[ … ] ❀ you’re not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed { LEON AMOS } walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who { HE } is/are ? they kind of look like { LUKE HEMMINGS } and i could be wrong but i think that they might be { 29 } years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last { TWO MONTHS }. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of { BILLY DUNNE } from { DAISY JONES AND THE SIX }. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at { PALMVIEW RECORDING STUDIOS } as a { MUSIC PRODUCER }. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the { MARTYR } of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty { IMPULSIVE } at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty { CHARMING } to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that { ONE-BEDROOM } apartment beside me over in { MANGO BAY }. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you!

hiii i’m tj (29 / she/her / gmt-4) and this is leon and i love him so much so please extend the love lmao

bio

born and raised in seattle, leon is an only child. his parents went through a pretty nasty divorce when he was seven. his father disappeared from the map and even though he was supposed to pay child support, he hardly ever did. leon’s mother did everything in her power to give her son the best education. anna paid for guitar and piano lessons. she even sent him to berklee because that’s how talented leon had always been in her eyes.

he was in bands in high school, but it wasn’t until college that he learned how to work collaboratively with other musicians and songwriters. the indie rock band artists from teddy was formed in 2022 and the group graduated last year. they did a mini tour around the us (where leon managed to date a stripper for four months) and then went on a much-needed break. leon asked his godmother who lives in chile if he could spend time in her beach house, writing songs for his solo project. of course she said yes.

(tw: alzheimer) so he went to viña del mar and a lot of stuff happened. he got back with his ex (not the stripper) and then he broke it off even though he wanted to propose to her. his mother called him, his grandmother's alzheimer was progressing too fast and the two women were a wreck. and so leon packed his bags and went back to seattle.

(tw: death) two months later, leon's grandmother died. it was really sad but also kind of nice because he hated seeing her suffer so much. asking for god to take her with her late husband.

leon went back to chile after a call with his band, it was time for it to end. it made him sad. he finished his solo record, released it and went on a tour to south america and then the us. it was great to have that distraction, especially because the music did well and the shows were critically acclaimed too. after it ended, he decided he needed to stay in one place, and he chose palmview.

(tw: mental illness) leon was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder when he was nineteen, as well as bipolar disorder when he was twenty-seven. it's taken time for him to adjust to the meds and the emotional dysregulation. but he's better now. so much better than he was a few years ago. still, sometimes his internal dialogue can get rotten, infecting everything in his life. mostly his relationships. the depressive episodes have gone down to once a month, which is impressive and relieving.

leon's staying in mango bay and started working on his second solo project, as well as collaborating with other artists. he's renting a space at the palmview recording studios. he keeps moving, like a shark. otherwise he feels like he would die. a bit dramatic, but that's just who he is.

lastly, ever since he arrived in palmview and realized he and his ex would never get back together, leon's become a bit of a whore. he knows he uses sex as a distraction, and knows he's coping mechanisms are just bad habits. because leon knows he doesn't do anything in moderation. it's all-in or nothing with him.

latest update

after finishing writing his second solo project, leon decided he wanted it to be professionally recorded at one of his favorite studios in los angeles, california. that's where he's been this past month. and now the record is done and he wants to really plan out what he wants to do with it. so he moves back to palmview and starts playing a few shows, that way he can work out what he wants this new album to do for him.

headcanons

plays guitar, piano, bass and sings

goes to therapy

such a party animal, it’s another coping mechanism

absurdly obsessed with music

doesn’t want to have children

stoner

stopped smoking cigarettes a month and a half ago, after sixteen years

summary

leon's from seattle and his father abandoned him when he was seven years old. he's always been a musician type, needing to express his feelings that his mother couldn't validate at all, and he developed bpd during his teen years. he went to berklee, started an indie rock band called artists from teddy. after graduating he went on tour with the band, dated a stripper for four months and started his rock n' roll lifestyle. it was hard. after several panic attacks, he found out he was also bipolar, which led him to a depressive period of time. this is a common thing for leon. the ups and downs are heightened and he's his worst critic. went to valpo (chile) with the love of his life, pretty much a chaotic and on-and-off couple. then palmview, then valpo, then nyc, then palmview again, then touring, back to palmview. he's only been here for three months this time and maybe he'll stay here a long time.

#palmviewintro #this big ass gif sdkjfhg i'm so sorry #every time i come back i update this and it gets longer rip #skip to the end for a summary :)

The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Review

Watched 6 episodes of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2 thinking that was the seasonal finale. Didn't realize they are streaming it weekly. I was about to review how a shitty cliffhanger that was. lmao.

I ship Jelly Now (Warning: Minor Spoilers)

Anyway, I wasn't a big Jelly fan because I thought Jeremiah in season one was only into Belly because she turned pretty but season 2 changed my mind. The flashback when she was sick proved he started liking her. Yes his mom did make him stay with her but did you see the way he tried to touch her hand? That's a small hint. I also think he fell for her when she decided to stay with him instead when he got sick instead of going out.

The Vampire Diaries Comparison

I had no idea Gavin Casalegno played young Damon from Vampire Diaries but it makes sense because they both have those bright beautiful blue eyes. The more I think about it the more I started comparing the show to Vampire Diaries.

Belly: Elena

Jeremiah: Stefan

Conrad: Damon

Steven: Jeremy

Taylor: Bonnie

I swear the show reminds me of a Vampire Diaries fan fic I read years ago! Even the The Kissing Booth reminded me of a Vampire Diaries fan fic (I heard it actually was written on Wattpad).

Warning: Major Spoilers

I understand the point of view of the aunt but still I think she's a witch. I have rich cousins/aunts/uncles who never talk to me so I know what it feels like to feel like garbage but if I was in that situation I would at least give my nephews a chance to buy the house. I'm poor as hell and have a lot of issues but I'm not a monster. Yes I would gift them half the share of the house that belonged to their mother! If I don't have the money to maintain it I would give them the option of renting it out to others to make the money. There are so many possibilities but she doesn't care enough to try. It's revenge.

I feel like they're trying to make the aunt relatable saying oh she's the sad poor sister like us. No. Sorry she doesn't look poor at all. I would go as far to say that she's co dependent on her child. Skye tried to break way from it by going out with their cousins for the first time in years. The whole time Julia thought Skye hated the beach but it was actually Julia who hated the beach proves it because Skye was never given a chance to decide. I can imagine Skye never doing anything that interest them but instead doing whatever their mother was comfortable with.

At the end I actually agree with Conrad. Renting out the house for a week during the summer isn't good enough. All their mother's and family stuff would be gone and the owners stuff will be in it. It wouldn't be their house anymore. Julia is only doing it because she felt a tiny bit bad. If I was them I would've thrown the keys when she asked for them.

To be honest I wasn't a big fan of Taylor last season (nothing she did wrong I just wasn't feeling her) but I learned to love her. Maybe it's because we got more screen time with her this season. Steven is starting to grow on me too.

hi, could you do 10.4 for ep reviews

10.04 Final Thoughts

It’s been a hot minute, but I’m still doing these! I remember being frustrated by this episode when I first watched it. But hey, it’s actually pretty good, and I enjoy it a lot more after s13-15 than I ever could in the s10 era.

There is a fix, and there is no fix.

Such a large part of season 10 is about a meta signal that the fun of s9/the first few episodes of s10 is coming to a close--the fun as in, setting Sam and Dean specifically and indisputably at odds, in a way where Dean is specifically in the wrong. So much of my antipathy towards s10 is tied up in that miserable little beach scene timeskip, in what it fundamentally deflects. Gone forever is the movement that s9 implied. Gone forever is the chance at a reckoning. And it needn’t have been that way, not necessarily. I have such complicated emotions about s10.

But, y’know, despite the show signaling that it wants to tell us that the strife of s9 is over, that the brothers aren’t mad at each other anymore, that their relationship is being reset back to basics, there’s a lot that simply can’t be reset. And it’s in those spaces that I like season 10, where the narrative focus isn’t on what is or isn’t the Mark’s influence, or how Dean’s dealing with being even more rage-y than usual: where the unresolved past is all that we get and all that we need.

Dean needling Sam about wearing a sling... like haha fucking nerd, wearing a goofy sling because you got injured trying to undemonify me. Classic comedy.

Also classic comedy: it is HILARIOUS that both the show and Dean are trying to make the Lester situation into some moral watershed for Sam. Especially when Dean’s the guy who killed him, lmao.

And Sam’s not tormented or apologetic about it, he’s literally just--confused! Like me, he really doesn’t see any moral line he crossed there that he and Dean haven’t crossed on the daily for years.

It’s overtly, hilariously, a “And now we’re both in the wrong” moment--Dean trying to draw a false equivalence between their respective degeneracies in the early part of s10. It’s the same equivalence that the show tried to pull, tonally. Supernatural has a real addiction to this kind of attempted equalization—it needs the brothers on the same level even when they aren’t; it presupposes that an interesting conflict requires that both parties be more or less equally in the ��wrong”.

That moment when Sam says—I watched you die. I carried your corpse. I put your dead body on your bed. Well, it hits different now, doesn’t it.

This is my favorite type of SPN MOTW episode, where we dispense entirely with any plausible deniability or narrative posturing, and go ahead and make parallels into anvils. Like, of course we’re doing a case about a sister whose craving for blood and power has rendered her uncontrollably violent. Naturally.

The core thread here is what is and isn’t Kate’s sister, and therefore what is and isn’t Dean. It’s both an excuse and a reckoning. Tasha did not take on her curse by choice, but she chose to use it to leverage her power over other people—in doing so, she becomes someone Kate says, dramatically, isn’t her sister.

Sam uses it to set Dean apart from his actions and from the Mark, to exonerate him, and to justify violence/action against demon!Dean. He doesn’t need to forgive Dean, he doesn’t need Dean’s apologies or thank-yous, because he simply says it wasn’t Dean.

To complicate our parallels, though, it’s Kate who made a medical decision for Tasha without her knowledge or consent, and then Kate who kills Tasha--a Righteous Kill (tm) through and through, done for the ~real~ Tasha’s own good.

Obviously it’s also to prevent Tasha from continuing to be a super-powered serial killer for no good reason, too. But the narrative thrust here has a delightfully uncomfortable kill-her-to-save-her element... such that even though I got the feeling while watching that we were meant to be fearing Sam killing a Mark-addled Dean, it just fundamentally couldn’t land that way. That move is just way too Dean-coded.

10.04 actually does a great job of encapsulating s10 at its best: the strange combination of ignoring and glorifying and dismantling the show’s underpinnings, all with a baffling degree of a lack of self-awareness. The rich irony of Dean wanting so badly to do the right thing, juxtaposed with him ready to kill at the drop of a hat, would be more interesting if it weren’t already what the show is about, sans murder tattoo.

#10.04 #final thoughts #sam and dean #dean and the Mark #sam and forgiveness #more s10 thots incoming at some point

Oh yeah, no. Supa Strikas Assistant Coach [Name] has not known peace since he's met North Shaw. He was such an innocent and happy-go-lucky bean when he signed up to be assistant coach. And then he met North Shaw and developed the Strikas Sense and he has not known peace since. North Shaw loves his extreme sports and [Name] wakes up in a cold sweat every night. He learns quickly how to differentiate between "Strikas are in trouble" and "North is trying out a new sport" because otherwise he'd never sleep again. Doesn't stop North from giving [Name] heart attacks regardless.

I imagine if this [Name] existed in the show there would be an episode where they're all trying to get [Name] to relax cause his blood pressure has gone through the roof. So they're practically forced to stay put because otherwise they'll probably get in trouble and [Name]'s Strikas senses kick in. Of course it goes wrong, and they get into massive trouble. But [Name] is there to save the day!!

Or if you want a more dramatic episode idea, assistant coach [Name] quitting because he's been having major panic attacks thanks to his strikas senses. So now the boys have to come up with a plan to keep him on the team!

Also ye, lol, it was definitely Klaus who stubbed his toe.

poor [name], truly can never know peace at all. dammit north shaw! you made the poor man developed anxiety with your extreme sports obsession!!! poor man 😔😔 but yeah, [name] definitely did figured out on his strikas sense if the team is truly in danger or its just north shaw being himself. still, it definitely doesnt make him stop worrying tho and get close heart attacks ajsvjsbfjagsjdkajhdaksjdkakbfnf

now i just imagine [name] felt that strikas sense and immediately dials north shaw and ask if he is doing something dangerous at the moment. north shaw answering with the most obvious lie ever ("uhhh, pfft— what? no...?") and [name] just sighing and pinching the bridge of his nose as he mutters that north shaw should be fucking careful with his stunts

but anyways, god, this is good daeling and why not both? [name]'s blood pressure got so high that he was actually sent to the hospital (like coach is s1 e11 "wolf in coach's clothing") and since its his "strikas sense" that made his blood pressure soar since the team has been in danger so many times for the pass few months. the team did try to have a relaxing day in the beach or something where they wont trigger [name]'s strikas sense and spike up his blood pressure

unfortunately, things dont go to planned and [name] just fucking gets out of the hospital despite him supposed to stay for a few more days to be monitored to search for his dumb bois and save the day. this lead to [name] being forced to resign though by the doctors who was looking after him for his safety and the episode ends with that

next episode just starts with the team not liking how their assistant coach left and the team trying to think of ways to make [name] come back. from begging on the phone (the whole team) to in person (el matador and klaus were begging on their knees in front of [name]'s door step lmao) to just trying to talk [name] back in

just some angst where after month of trying to get their assistant coach back, they slowly lose hope until another life threatening thing happened to them and [name] got the strikas sense which was more intense than ever and he knew his bois need him. cue him dressing up and taking this tracking device he had hidden into one of north shaw's jerseys (the guy was the most obvious to get into dangerous shit man) and just tracks them down and save them

and it all ends with the team saved and [name] coming back because he cant leave these dumb bois alone since no one is going to save their asses if he did ajdbsjfbfajslfksifhwkrjjwf

and yeah, of course klaus would be the one to stub his toe. dumb cutie ajdbsjfbfajslfksifhwkrjjwf

#i really like this one daeling #just assistant coach [name] quitting but coming back eventually to save his dumb bois #and akdbajdnwkjejfjwjejsnnf #yeah #i love this so much #agsjsjfbsjfjsjrbsbfgsjdkajfjakfhakhfjs #just so angsty but also wholesome #ksbdjsjfnsjdhejthjejrkejrhhe #tou responds #ask #cn my beloved 💙💙💙#cn 💙

Avatar: The Last Airbender episode 3x17 ☆ﾟ*･｡*

Me: are they really preparing to take down the Fire Lord in the Fire Lord’s beach house *one second later* Katara: are we really preparing to take down the Fire Lord in the Fire Lord’s beach house

Asdfghjkl a playwright has written a play about them collecting information from people all around the world such as singers, pirates, prisoners “and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage” :’)

Ladies gentlemen and gentlepersons it is Let’s Shatter The Fourth Wall Time! Our favorite time. *rubs hands excitedly together*

Apparently Zuko’s mother loved the theater company but Zuko hated to go see them XD

“This is the kind of wacky time-wasting nonsense I’ve been missing!” you were the one obsessed with schedule Sokka :p

Oh boi this is going to be a trip XD

Each of them is outraged about how they portrayed them... but also having fun about how the others are portrayed :3 They’re making so many excellent faces

Lmao nobody involved in the script knew that the Blue Spirit and Zuko are the same person XD

Oops this is how Suki finds out about Sokka and Yue ^^;

“So far, this intermission is the best part of the play.”

“Apparently, the playwright thinks I’m an idiot who tells bad jokes about meat all the time!” “Yeah, you tell bad jokes about plenty of other topics” “I know!”

Aang complains about the woman playing him not resembling him at all - “I don’t know, you are more in touch with your feminine side than most guys” lol

“Relax Aang, they’re not accurate portrayals. It’s not like I’m a preach crybaby who can’t resist giving overemotional speeches about hope all the time”

Toph is having the time of her life...

And then the character Toph appears, and it’s a large buff guy. Katara jabs at her... “Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t have cast it any other way!” It’s absolutely inaccurate, but Toph is loving it XD

This is it, this is the show:

“Zuko, it’s time we had a talk about your hair. It’s gone too far!” “Maybe it’s best if we *dramatic plause* split. up.”

“You caught me... Wait, what’s that? I think it’s your honor!” “Where?!”

“Did Jet just... die?” “You know, it was really unclear” lmao

Oh no the play makes Katara/Zuko canon XD

Whoops, it really hits right at Aang’s fears... okay, alright, the dumb play is actually making me okay with the concept of Aang/Katara lmao

And the Ba Sing Se betrayal scene hits right at Zuko’s guilt regarding his uncle.

And the act ends with the Avatar’s defeat...

Poor Aang...

“Suki, what are the chances you can get me backstage [...]?” “I’m an elite warrior who’s trained for many years in the art of stealth... I think I can get you backstage.”

AWWWWW Toph hearthens Zuko about his uncle this is so super wholesome I am an emotion <3 <3 <3

“Ow! What was that for!” “That’s how I show affection ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

I love how Toph didn’t even need Zuko to prove his worth to her in any way for her to accept him as a friend. She heard the earnestness in his voice and bam she was in for the friendship ride or die. She does know what it means to desperately need to prove your worth in the face of messed-up parental expectations. Her parents’ expectations for her and Zuko’s father’s expectations for him were completely opposites but you know what they say about extremes...

“Your Zuko costume is pretty good, but the scar is on the wrong side” “The scar is not on the wrong side!”

Awww Sokka giving joke ideas to his actor XD

Aang confronts Katara about her feelings, but she says she is confused and he messes up by kissing her without her consent. Aang, I was rooting for you a minute ago! Neither of them is in the right place for a relationship at all right now, but I’m sure the show will not actually address the issue properly. In a few years a relationship between them could work, but now, eeh.

Awww the actor uses Sokka’s tips XD Suki is contemplating her life choices...

The play catches up with the present, and the rest is the playwright’s imagination. Well, we are in the Fire Nation, so I can imagine how it will go...

Admittedly, Play!Azula and Play!Zuko are not even as dramatic as the real deal.

Whoops. Azula kills Zuko and everyone cheers.

And Ozai kills Aang, celebrates his victory and everybody cheers even louder.

“That wasn’t a good play” “I’ll say” “No kidding” “Horrible” “You said it” “But the effects were decent!” that’s what I thought too XD

Oh man this was so much fun ^-^

One Sentence Premise Tag

Tagged by @scmalarky, the single greatest contributor to keeping this blog afloat through 2020! Probably. :P

Anyways, this one is fairly self-explanatory, which I always love - surmize your WIPs in a sentence! I am going to surmise,,,, all the WIPs. because why not :3

Maelstrom: Area man accidentally gains superpowers, and it gets worse from there

Hit and Run: Antisocial asshole spends a year at a high-tech military boot camp developing into a well-rounded individual

The Destroyer of Worlds: Tired private investigator plays the ‘straight man’ role for a team of superheroes, which is ironic because she’s also incredibly gay

Omnia Vincit Amor: The beach episode equivalent of the series, featuring cheesy romance, overcoming trauma, and a guide on what not to do if your best friend names a cat after you

Gaia and Skye’s mediocre adventure: The author’s experiment with writing in the style of the Austin Powers novelization got way out of hand

Last one out, hit the lights: The author’s idea for an Among Us AU got way out of hand

Man of Mystery: How does the world react to the first ever superhero?

Of Encounters and Trysts: Awkward characters awkwardly meet, awkwardly interact, and awkwardly fall in love... eventually

Bohemian Like You: The question is, who WOULDN’T belt their favourite song out loud if they were alone in an abandoned supermarket?

Cometh the Hour: Area woman accidentally gets sent 6,000 or so years into the future by a science experiment gone wrong

Legacy: An AI creates more AIs (AI-ception???)

And when it all falls down, will you stay with me?: Raising a child, falling in love again, and leading a revolution are all considered quite difficult - Linnaea, who’s just about done with caring about what over people think, is going to do them all at once anyway

The Farrand Chronicles: The exploits of our main characters as told from the diary entries of that one character who’s decently liked by the fandom but also isn’t anyone’s favourite, y’know

BONUS: STORIES NOT CONNECTED TO THE POWER OF AGES UNIVERSE

Foes and Heirs: Medieval epic fantasy featuring multiple magic systems, an anachronistic spaceship, and a plucky young crew with maybe a handful of brain cells to rub together

Simpler Times: The author’s idea for a hypothetical Warrior Cats fanfiction got way, WAY out of hand

aaaaand there we are! I’m always aware that I have a lot of WIPs, but it’s definitely,,, definitely something else to see them down in one place lmao

Anyways! Tagging @sassypandacandy and @ragethewriter! Go nuts! (But no pressure.)

#Power of Ages #One Sentence Premise Tag #MAN this was a fun one #sucks I had to do it all again after tumblr deleted the post as I was about to post it but eh #what can ya do

It really wouldn’t be an understatement to say that Steven Universe has made an incredible impact on my life.

I don’t quite remember when I started watching, but I was a bit on the early side. It was somewhere in season 1 between Mirror Gem and the season finale. I got into the show early on cause I caught wind of it via a friend saying it’s gay.

I got hooked shortly after. And I mean if it isn’t too obvious to anyone, I fell in love with Pearl early on, and the more we learned about her history and the more I felt I related to her.

One huge way it helped me was it helped reaffirm gender and sexuality stuff for me. I already knew I was a trans woman and a lesbian prior to SU, but the show just kinda made me feel more good and comfy identifying in those ways whenever I had doubts or felt wrong, or dysphoric, y’know that deal. (Thank you so much Pearl for being the lesbian I aspire to be lmao)

Particularly seeing Pearl in her Bad Outfit in Last One Out Of Beach City made me feel comfy being a woman who didn’t really want to present femininely much.

I didn’t get involved much in large fandom spaces until 2018. Once upon a time there was someone I wasn’t dating, but also kinda more than friends with, and Steven Universe was one way we bonded, particularly our shared adoration of Pearl. While I don’t talk to her anymore, that whatever-it-was probably wouldn’t have been as strong had it not been for Steven Universe.

My exes I also met essentially because I made a tumblr to try and connect to the SU fandom and I happened to have met them because of that. And while we’re not together anymore, that’s still something that happened in my life directly related to SU. Related - I’d not have ended up where I am now if I didn’t have a particular friend that I met through a shared interest in Steven Universe.

In a lot of ways Steven Universe has been a source of comfort for me. I’ve gone back and watched episodes occasionally when I’ve felt down. I own a Pearl plush that I adore. My first ever convention was Empire City Con, and my first ever cosplay was Mystery Girl.

Over my time in the fandom I’ve met a lot of pretty cool people. I’ve used it as a source of inspiration for my writing with the various things I’ve put on my AO3. When I was trying to get into drawing, I basically just drew Pearl lmao.

I’m sad it’s ended and probably won’t have much (if any) additions to the canon. I’m glad that Steven Universe exists, though. It’s wild to think of how many friendships had been forged through the show. Or relationships. How many people its helped with the representation the show has. Not just for teens and adults, but kids watching it too. It means so much to so many people.

I know no matter what, Steven Universe will always have a big spot in my heart.

ok. ugh. im not going to directly respond to this person bc i dont want drama but Oh Wells. I guess I just have Shit to Say

as I mentioned before, Polo stans did not know Polo was the murderer from the get go. We had seven episodes to like his character as it got briefly explored. Then we learned he was the one who did it.

Again, people liked Polo BEFORE we knew he was the villain, actually. I haven't seen a single soul say they liked Polo after/because he killed Marina. No one does, even though Marina was a hated character.

And some people just dont drop a character that easily. Especially not a character they like.

"Polo is weird as fuck" fine, that's your opinion but also? People like weird characters. People like characters they haven't really seen before and Polo fits that box whether you count him as a sociopath or not. Polo is interesting, even if you don't care about him.

"His lack of empathy and pretending that nothing is wrong is appalling" maybe I'm wearing my loving-Polo goggles but I'm pretty certain season 2 (& the last ep of S1) very evidently showed that Polo was struggling with this whole shit as much as Carla was. He was self-medicating, experiencing anxiety attacks, hallucinating.

He spiraled into a mental breakdown nearly every episode except the last one, maybe. This is so clear that in the middle of the season he tried to kill himself. Gotta love your selective memory, really.

Granted, maybe his empathy was more about how he hurt Guzman & fucked his own life over rather than the fact that he literally took Marinas life. But Polo's whole "pretending everything's fine" is exactly that: pretending.

“Felt no remorse that Nano, an innocent guy, was rotting away from a crime he didn’t commit” ok. Lmao. Sorry but I have to laugh. Nano may not be guilty of murder but he purposefully put Marina in danger by forcing her into extorting Carla's dad (tho I'd argue Marina also had a say in her own actions but Nano was the adult so he should've fucking done better which brings me to another point:)

Nano's 25+ ass had no fucking business meddling with an underage girl. This was even discussed in the show, that Nano could've gone to prison just for fucking getting Marina pregnant (and then on top of that fucking offering for her to run away with him. God he just, really didn’t want Marina to live her best life)

Like, I'm dropping hints that I hate Nano..... I hate Nano and if he had stayed out of Marinas life she would be alive right now and Polo would've spent the whole summer fucking Carla&Christian in some Croatian beach and we wouldn't be in this cursed timeline where Samu&Carla have feelings for each other & the only established bisexual character is actually a psycho.

"Polo is a coward" I mean, yeah? But that's because he's afraid of what him telling Guzman would unleash. Like jail and death are two things most people are generally scared of. More so fucking 16 year olds who dont have the emotional & psychological tools to deal with the Very Real consequences of their actions. (Especially when they didn't mean those actions)

“Thinks he can throw money as solutions” lmao yes, and so do all the rich characters of the show??? like, even the parents. are we watching the same thing?

“Pathetic to be honest” i’m not gonna comment on this bc that’s your opinion & really, there’s nothing to say to that if you’ve already made up your mind. Tho I will argue that if youre gonna say these kind of things about a character then maybe, yk, dont tag him??? but whatevs

“He has clear damaging anger problems” this is pretty much the only accurate point you make about Polo as a character. Yes, he has anger issues. That doesn’t exempt him from his crimes but it does make him an interesting and compelling antagonist. (Also, if you wanna point this as a reason not to like him then by all means Guzmán shouldnt be liked either)

“guilty and not confessing and pulling his current chick down” I’ve already pointed out Polo’s very realistic fear of what would become of him if he goes to jail (which sure, as a white cis male with privilege it’s probably really not that bad but Polo has zero thinking skills when it comes to this. He only has Fear) but pulling his current chick down? I have to frown. Cayetana --much like most Polo stans when the show aired last year-- had a genuine interest in Polo before she knew he was a killer and before he helped her stay in Las Encinas. Polo was telling her how his life was over bc of what he had accidentally done and homegirl turned around and went ‘mmm what if I saved your ass and we loved each other forever?’. Like, Caye is already fucked up, too. Polo just, well, he took the help (and the genuine care Cayetana was offering him bc Polo is a love-deprived idiot)

“Selfish and manipulative” again, yeah, sure. but so are most of the characters of this show. Like, that’s the whole thing. Almost all these kids are really terrible and selfish and controlling one way or another. It’s the entire appeal of Elite, if you ask me, the fact that virtually no character is a perfect angel fallen from heaven. (Not to say Polo is remotely the least bad; he’s pretty much the worst one, sure, but like, he’s not the only one who does selfish & manipulative things & he’s not even the one who does it the most)

“Was kind of emotionally abusive and controlling and possessive of Carla” eye???? i genuinely don’t even know how to tackle this. Did we really watch the same show???? Polo was possessive of Carla????? Homeboy literally got off watching her fuck another guy and he was possessive????? Every single time Polo tried to control Carla, her HBIC ass snapped and sat him tf down. Polo only ever persuaded her into one (1) thing, the rest it was Carla calling the shots.

They were both emotionally abusive and codependent of each other. But I feel like I need to point out, again, that these kids are teenagers (tho, i know the shows very sexual aspect kind has all of us blocking that thought bc this is Not the Way 16yo behave-- mostly). Polo & Carla are each other’s first relationship. They’re gonna fuck up and not know how they’re fucking up & also not realize how bad it can be for the both of them.

“GENUINELY CURIOUS why do people stan him so much?” now, this is fairly certainly easy to answer: people can relate to Polo in a lot of ways.

In my experience, I personally fell for him the second I knew he was trying to get himself to have a threesome. As a polyamorous person, I fucking lived with Polo doing everything in his messy ass power to get himself in an open-relationship/polyamorous kind of deal with his girlfriend and this guy that just came into school.

It doesn’t help that I can count on one hand the amount of shows there are where a relationship between three+ people exists. So, yk, I’m starving for this kind of content.

Then you also have the bisexual aspect of his character: Polo is a bi disaster. I’m not bi but I can understand why bisexual people would like Polo for this aspect of him. The scene where Carla implies he likes Christian undressed better and Polo just fucking stands blinking into the abyss is just Peak Bisexual Conduct & people enjoy themselves being represented.

Again, although there are fairly more bi characters/storylines than there are polyamorous ones, it’s still not a lot. Especially not bi guys so. More the fanbase for chaotic bi Polo.

There’s also the fact that he’s incredibly mistreated by his peers (before he commits murder, mind you) and people can either relate or deeply empathize with that. Polo gets pushed and pulled between his GF and his supposed best friend (god, I have so many mixed feelings with how Guzmán treats Polo is2g). He’s the third-wheel of his friends trio and he ends up the third-wheel of the romantic/sexual relationship trio he himself seeked. He also textually expresses he’s constantly disappointing his mothers.

So, yeah, there are a lot of things people can like Polo for and obviously not one of them is the fact that he killed a girl (even tho 90% of fandom hated said girl).

What I meant with this whole thing is that Polo is a very interesting & very rare kind of antagonist. One you can feel very, genuinely sorry for and hurt bc of him but not justify him.

There’s also the conversation that @polo-benavent started on their blog about the intricate messages hidden behind the fact that the writers decided to have the only openly bisexual character be the murderer. Which, yk, it’s also a very interesting thing to take into consideration.

#im just yk most polo stans are bracing ourselves for the inevitable fact that he will either go to jail or kill himself or both #like most of us just feel sorry for him its not that deep fam #polo benavent #polo #elite #elite spoilers #elite netlfix #long post

Beach episode just for @exicio lmao I advise everyone else to not read this because you wouldn’t understand it anyways lol

Have fun with this bullshit of about 2700 words. Keep in mind that everything in this is your fucking fault.

~Vanitas~

It had been two years since Domi had come back from Spain. Two whole years already. Time really did fly by.

“Break, do you have the sun screen?”

“Sharon, I know I’m stupid, but it’s 30 degrees and very sunny, so I can’t forget sun screen!” I sighed. Break surely had become too caring for his son who was currently sitting in the Van next to me and Misha. Noé was on the backseat with Jeanne and Domi. Lily had agreed to sit in the very back of the car. It was Lily. Nobody really questioned it.

“Vani?”, Noé asked and leant forward to me.

“Hm?” “I just noticed that I haven’t seen you in a swimsuit or something yet!” “Ah, Noé, it’s not that big of a difference to being in underwear and I’m sure you’ve seen her in underwear often enough”, Domi pointed out and I felt myself getting red.

“Ah yeah, you’re rig-“ “Noé, could you please not agree to it?”, I screamed and Jeanne laughed out loud.

“Not in front of Dave, you horny teenies~”, Break chirped and put on his sunglasses that looked incredibly stupid, “if you do have Sex on the beach, I hope it’s the cocktail~”

I was losing my goddamn faith in humanity right here. Humankind. Partly vampirekind.

Was I a Bella from Twilight make off because my boyfriend was partly vampire- I didn’t really want to continue that thought.

“I brought sun screen too, by the way. I mean, I barely get burnt, but Vanitas is so pale, she’ll need it”, Noé said and I felt like a little damn kid. Not like his girlfriend, but like a kid.

“Ugh, the parking lot is full”, Sharon moaned and drove through the whole thing just to drive past the last space which was free.

“Sharon, you’re so utterly stupid, I have no words.” “Well, fuck you!”

What had it been about “not in front of Dave”?

“Go drive yourself if you think you’re better at it! It’ll still be free when we drive there again, so-“

It took half an hour more to park somewhere. We were already at the beach and it really was terribly full. Like yeah, honestly, I didn’t fucking know why we didn’t just apparate close here, but apparently we were the stupid kind of wizards.

“It’s my only day off this summer, so please don’t ruin it, guys”, I said and Noé took my hand.

I swore that I wouldn’t get used to this at all. It’s been three damn years, I shouldn’t freak out at hand holding anymore, especially when Domi and Jeanne were the lesbians here who were stared at strangely but were happily holding each other’s hands. But it was Noé. How was I supposed to get used to be loved by him? I wouldn’t and that was definitely a problem.

“It’ll be fun! You probably haven’t gone swimming in years, right? It’ll be so much fun, Vani! I never got to go swimming with you but now we finally can without people staring like they would have- you know.” Yeah. I knew. People would have stared if the spell… if I hadn’t invented it. They would have stared at Zach, too. And at all my other clients.

There even had been some muggles who I told that they should keep their mouths shut to everyone except to close family. I didn’t want to see them suffer. Not after what I had gone through for years and years of my life.

“Here’s enough space for all our towels!”, Lily said and pointed at a part of the beach were no damn people were and it made me incredibly happy.

Misha and her ran to it to get the space in the shadow of some rocks. Yeah, I would have liked them too. I wouldn’t get a sun tan anyways.

Noé got the Quidditch towel out of his bag and placed it neatly onto the floor.

“I wished you would make our bed like this, but no, that one always looks like a mess when you do”, I sighed and put mine next to his, then I sat down onto it.

Noé did that too and took my hand again.

“Ah, I never would’ve thought I’d be so happy to be with you at a beach one day! The last time I was at a beach was-“ He didn’t need to finish the sentence. I knew who he meant. I knew he still loved him and that he’d never forget him.

I was well aware of that. But it was ok. Noé wasn’t limited to only being in love with one person. He had so much more love to give.

“One day we’ll go here with our kid, yeah?”, I asked and smiled at him.

“Lmao, Dave tried eating sand!”, Domi screamed and picked up the boy who was gagging and coughing sand and I couldn’t do more than laugh.

“We’ll just have to teach our kid not to do that, Vani”, he chuckled and then reached for the bag, picking up the sun screen.

“Come here, I’ll rub it on your back for you.” “Lemme just get out of those clothes, yeah?”

He nodded and I opened the buttons of my jeans skirt and my blouse to slide them off. I was really uncomfortable. I was so not used to being half naked in front of anyone else than Noé. And Noé was my boyfriend. He was allowed to see me naked. But others were just… kinda urgh.

Domi whistled in my direction.

“If I didn’t already have a girlfriend, I’d make a move now”, she grinned and winked. She winked at me.

I buried my face in my hands.

“I’m not strong enough for this patchwork family.”

Noé laughed out and touched my shoulders with cold cream. “She’s right! You’re sexy!”

I lost it.

I did not know what to respond except for burying my face in my hands even further. This day was already a catastrophe. Sometimes, Noé was a little too honest. But I adored him for it. But-

“Please don’t get horny”, Sharon said and now I really had to deadpan.

“Says the woman I have had to hear fuck like almost every single day before Dave, huh? Also we’re not horny, we’re just cringy.”

Noé laughed out loud again at that and I slowly took my hands away.

“No, seriously, Vani. You look beautiful. Be proud of who you are, damnit. You’re a woman just like all the others are and you know that. You remember when you apologized for your body back when we-“ He got quiet and I got fucking red again. Yeah, I remembered apologizing to him about having small breasts.

“Anyways, uh-“, he seemed quite embarrassed now too, “you… you’re beautiful and I want you to finally accept that as the truth, chérie.”

“I know I’m repeating myself, but only in the form of a cocktail, Dominique.” I looked over to Domi who was putting sunscreen onto Jeanne’s back and then lower and lower and- holy shit.

“Hello, can you please stop doing this right in front of us?”, I screeched and buried my face in Noé’s shoulder now.

Domi sighed and raised her hands. “Ok, ok, sorry for wanting to protect my girlfriend from the sun in every possible place of her body! Swimsuits aren’t that good against UV-rays! You need protection everywhere!” “I doubt that”, Noé whispered and pulled off his shirt then.

“Ok, Vani, let me put it on you. Don’t worry, I’m not like Domi.” Yeah, and I definitely didn’t have an exhibitionism kink.

Compared to some other people.

I really did enjoy him massaging my back though. I was overworking myself. I really should slow down and I knew it, but on the other side, I just wanted to be completely financially stable. It was obvious that both of us wanted a child someday. Or maybe two. And maybe I would be able to stay at home for two or three years then. But on the other side… I was the only one who was able to perform that sort of magic.

“I need to teach someone my job, shit”, I mumbled and Noé laughed out, rubbing my shoulders.

“I totally agree. Oz said his little sister was really good with magic. Maybe you could give her a job offer!” “Ah, you mean Ada!”, Misha exclaimed and looked at us, “She’s really good and kind! But she also had a crush on Gilbert, which is why some kind of dude named Jack tried to kill her because he-“ “What the fuck is wrong with our author”, Break sighed and I stared at him.

“Our… what?”, I asked in confusion.

“Ah, never mind.”

I wasn’t going to question it any further. It was Break. I’d not question this guy.

“So, finished with sun screen! Can we go into the water now?”, Noé asked, his eyes practically sparkling with joy and I stood up, keeping my arms away from my body now. It was ok. I was beautiful. It was ok.

Noé took my hand again and I suddenly got a very good idea.

Yeah, I’d do this. This was the perfect payback.

I pulled him with me into the water and as soon as we reached a certain depth, I took his head in both hands and pressed it into the water for three second.

I let go and he looked at me, puzzled, his hair now completely wet.

“What was that for?” “For when you pushed me against that damn wall in grade one.” He smiled and then that smile grew into a grin and he started laughing, placing his hands on my shoulders to bury his head in my hair. I hated that he was so tall.

Ok, no, I loved it. His pullovers were completely oversized when I wore them and that was just absolutely perfect.

“I swear… you are… you really are…!”

I loved him so much. So incredibly much.

In the next moment my whole head was cold and I wanted to kill my brother.

“We can’t leave that beach without a water fight, can we?”, Misha sad and got water into his bucket to pour it over me again.

“Hey! That’s unfair! You have a weapon and I don’t!”, I breathed out and hid behind Noé.

“Noé, you’re my shield now! Protect me from this evil brother of mine!”

I only caught a glimpse of Lily before Noé, but he suddenly started laughing and when he slowly sank more into the water, I saw that Lily was tickling him, alas, killing my one and only protection I had left for this last war.

Misha had beaten me. He had won and I had accepted it. It wasn’t as if I could help it.

“We need help like right fucking now”, Domi suddenly screamed and we looked at her. Jeanne was standing next to her, terribly flustered, her hands in the water. Domi was kind of grinning but also she looked like she wanted to die.

“You two stay here and look after Dave, Break and Sharon are currently getting ice cream for us”, I said and took Noé’s hand, “come, we’ll help them with whatever problem they have.” He nodded and together, we walked to them.

“So, what’s the problem? Got your finger stuck in your girlfriend, Domi?”, I snarled and she looked at me as if she wanted to kill me.

“No. Jeanne has lost her panties.” In less than a second, Noé had buried his face in his hands and sighed and then he made a sobbing-like sound.

“How the fuck did that happen?” “I-“, Jeanne began, stuttering, then she looked at Domi, then at the water and her hands which were covering the lower part of her body, “I- tried to pee and-“ “That lie is worse than the truth, Jeanne”, Domi shouted and looked me in the eyes, “I was fingering her and she raised her leg and whoops, it was gone. Now help me search for it, it’s not like you’ve never seen panties before anyways.” I sighed and shook my head in complete desperation. I didn’t want to fucking live anymore. This was just too much.

“I’m doing this for Jeanne because she’s the victim, but not for you, Domi”, I answered and then went on more to the shore in the hope that the waves would carry it.

Jeanne let herself sink more into the water. Everything about this was just absolutely awkward. And it would not have happened if they weren’t that horny, but no of course, sex on the beach was apparently necessary for them.

“I have it”, Noé said, he was not standing far away from me, holding a pink pantie between his right middle finger and thumb.

He walked over to them and gave it to Jeanne who mumbled a ‘thanks’. Yeah, they should definitely thank us. God, right now, I kind of hated them.

“Vani, I’m going to lie down for a while, I’m still kinda tired from the quidditch training yesterday.”

Half an hour later, Noé was asleep in the sand and he had boobs made out of sand as well as a mermaid tail, made by Lily and me. We stared at the result happily. He’d not get out of that without help and we should definitely hide somewhere.

Misha, Sharon, Break and Dave had gone to look for toilets and Jeanne and Domi had… disappeared. I didn’t want to know what they were doing now. It was more than obvious what they were doing anyways.

“Behind the rocks”, Lily whispered and I nodded, hiding behind them with her now. We just had to wait until he woke up now.

“You know, Vanitas…”, she suddenly said, looking downwards, “I’m… I just wanted to say that I admire you. You basically raised Misha. And he’s so kind and loving and… I’m glad that you made him like that even when your father…”

I didn’t really know what to answer to that, so I just kind of put my hand into her hair and ruffled it a little.

“Of course I did that. He’s my brother. I love him just as much as you do. And you’re good for him, I can tell that. I know that you’d never pressure him into anything except for like, cooking or something like this.” Lily smiled and nodded.

“Thanks I just… I admire you so much, Vanitas. You went through so much and yet you still made him into this person, and also… you’re… really beautiful and I have to admit that I’m kind of jealous sometimes. Like, I don’t really care about beauty or anything but- I just… you’re really beautiful, ok?” “Lily, are you sure you’re not a lesbian and are you sure you’re not drunk?” She shook her head and looked at me with those completely honest eyes of hers. She was serious about that.

I felt myself starting to blush.

“O-oh… ok, thank you, then… I guess…? How am I supposed to respond to this? I don’t fucking know…!” “Why the fuck am I a mermaid?”

Lily and I both burst into laughter when we heard his scream. Yeah, hiding surely hadn’t been logical if we only laughed like that.

“Vanitas, get me out of here, you fucking…!” “Ah, I’m a fucking what now?”, I asked and jumped over the rocks to kneel down before him.

“You’re a brat! Now free me! I swear to god, I won’t-“ “You won’t what, Noé?”, I asked and leant down closer to him.

Lily was still a little farther away.

“I guess I won’t be able to have sex with you then.”

“Lily, we’re freeing him. Right now”, I said and he laughed out.

“I knew that’d work.” “Yeah, you jerk, of course it does”, I sighed and his grin didn’t fade, “Noé, stop grinning or we’ll get the same fucking problem Jeanne and Domi had.” “I can hear everything you’re saying!”, Lily complained and grabbed a tiny shovel, “let’s get to work before you two starve on horniness or whatever, I just don’t want to be near you then.”

He’s Gonna Hate Me...

Pairing: Jensen x Reader

Word count: 4,998 (THIS MAKES ME WANT TO ADD 2 WORDS SOMEWHERE. My OCD is killing me over this lmao)

Warnings: Language, maybe? Sort of Fluffy Jensen?

A/N: This idea came to me randomly, so I wrote it. Finally finished it like two weeks after starting it. Sat here for like 20 minutes trying to figure out a title... ALSO. No hate to Danneel, I love her and their marriage so much. But the easiest way to do this for me was to have them never be married and none of their beautiful little babies be created.

Being back in Texas for a convention always made the boys a bit happier, a bit more carefree. The entire time they were in Texas they would be goofing off and spending most of their panels messing with each other instead of answering questions, but of course the fans didn’t mind, they all got a good laugh out of it. Right now it was Jensen, Jared and Y/N on stage; Y/N was sitting in between the boys, and the boys were a little tipsy, having been enjoying drinks most of the day.

Jared told a story about getting pulled over when Gen first visited Texas with him almost 8 years ago, right after season four ended. When the first girl had started to ask her question Jared asked her name, and then introduced the three of you, making you roll your eyes and Jensen just say “12 years”.

The girl had asked where the three of you would love to film an episode of the show, and being Jared who doesn’t ever actually listen, immediately yelled out Texas. A fan yelled out Idaho from somewhere in the crowd and without thinking Jared made an not-so-appropriate joke, and then apologized to all the parents in the crowd. When Jared says that he and Gen got married in Idaho, of course the immediate response from the fan is “I know” and Jared makes a weird face, making you laugh.

When Jensen goes to answer the question he confirms that the fan had said for an episode, to which Jared turns to her and says “I didn’t hear that part.”

Jensen makes a ‘oh really’ face and Y/N turns to him saying “Yeah, you’re talkin too much!” to which Jared starts to fake cry and a few fans yell out “no.”

“No, no, he was.” Jensen says making you giggle.

“There’s dirt in my eye.” Jared says, fake crying and wiping at his eye. Jensen starts to answer the question again until Jared interrupts him. Again. “I thought we were brothers man.”

“Actually, we’re not.” Jared just laughs and a fan yells out “be nice”. Immediately Y/N starts laughing as Jensen says, “Be nice? Have you met me?” Jensen goes on to answer the question, saying the Grand Canyon and then the boys look at you.

“Bali. Hawaii. Somewhere on a beach!” You say with a large smile, making Jensen laugh and shake his head.

When the next fan asks if you guys would be willing to do the show for the next 30 years, you motion to Jensen and say, “He’s gonna 80 in 30 years!” At first Jensen starts nodding and then he turns to you, his eyebrows furrowed in that adorable way that you love, he looks down at you like he’s mad but everyone knows he’s not. “Late 70’s. There’s nothing wrong with that.” Jensen just looks away, making you and Jared laugh. After a moment you started to feel nauseous so you tapped Jared’s shoulder, letting him know you would be right back and excusing yourself while Jensen talked to the fan about her question.

Kim and Richard are standing right off the stage in back, but you barely have time to notice them as you take off running for the bathroom, a hand pressed tightly over your mouth. They share a look of confusion and worry before Kim follows you. When she walks into the bathroom you’re leaving the stall, walking to the sink to wash your hands and rinse out your mouth.

“You alright kid?” She asks sweetly, a look of worry on her face.

“Yeah, just not feelin so hot today.” You said, drying off your hands.

“You wanna sit out the rest of today? I can let the boys know.” She offers and you immediately shake your head.

“No, I’ll be okay. I don’t wanna let them down or the fans down just because of some morning sickness.” You say without thinking, throwing the paper towel into the trash can.

“Morning sickness?” She asks and your eyes widen, realizing what you had just said.

“Uh, yeah.” You mumble, looking at her.

“Does Jensen know?” She asks and you start shaking your head again.

“No, and he’s not going to. Not right now.” You say quickly.

“He’s gonna realize something is up, Y/N.” She says sweetly, giving you a sad smile. You know she’s not judging you or your decision not to tell Jensen yet, she’s just worried about you, but it still upset you for some reason. Hormones.

“We aren’t even officially together, we were just screwing around, how am I supposed to tell him that I forgot to refill my birth-control and now I’m knocked up? This wasn’t supposed to happen.” Y/N starts ranting and Kim pulls you into a hug, holding you tightly as tears start falling down your cheeks. “He’s been my best friend for the last fifteen years, I don’t want to ruin that just because I made a stupid mistake.”

“Hey, it’ll be okay. I’m not gonna say anything, and you don’t have to go tell him right now, but you should tell him soon.” Kim says, pulling back and wiping the tears off your cheeks.

“I know. Jared knows, he came to wake me up this morning and I immediately started puking so he figured it out. I’m just scared to tell Jensen.” You step over to the mirror, wiping the tears and stray eyeliner off your cheeks.

“Come on, let’s get you back out there.”

You walk back to the stage, Kim right beside you. Richard stops you to ask you if you’re okay and you just smile and nod, telling him you’re fine. You take your microphone from him as you hear the boys arguing about Jared using air quotes, making you giggle. You just stand there for a minute, watching Jensen as he explains how he and Jared got a tour of a building they use for filming some scenes. You just watch him for a moment, watching the expressions he makes as he tells the story and the way he talks with his hands, observing him like it would be your last chance to do so.

When Jensen is done with his ghost story, you walk back onto stage just as Jared says, “He’s like, if there’s any ghosts in here, they’ve seen the show they won’t mess with me.” This makes you laugh, the memory of Jensen saying those exact words with a cocky smirk on his lips crossing your mind. You take your seat in between them again and Jared just gives you a small smile as he turns to the next fan.

Jensen furrows his eyebrows, his bright green eyes full of worry and confusion as he leans down to whisper in your ear, “Are you okay?” You just nod, giving him a smile as the next fan asks a question about grapes. Jensen lets it go for now, answering the fan’s question and arguing with Jared about frozen grapes. You just sit there, staring at your hands in your lap, your mind reeling.

The next fan comes up and asks if your characters had a warning label what would it say, and you start giggling, unable to control yourself. Jensen states that Dean’s would say “Feed Often or Else” and then says that Sam’s would be like a gremlin, “Don’t Get Wet”, which only makes you giggle more. When Jared says it would be “Might contain gas, don’t start fire”, you lose it. Jensen looks at you like you’ve gone absolutely insane.

“Yours would probably be, “Small but Psycho” Jensen says and you smack his arm.

“You love me.” You mutter, a large smile still on your face.

“Hey, it would work for your character and you though.” Jensen says, laughing.

“The really funny thing is,” Jared says glancing down at you, “Y/N is actually a lot like her character on the show.” The audience laughs.

“He’s not kidding.” You say, an amused smile on your lips. “So when I went in to audition for the part, they had me actually come to Vancouver and do the audition with Jensen and Jared. Bob had told me that it would be someone else reading lines with me and that’s how my audition would go, but I got to set and I was sitting in this room waiting to do my audition, in comes Jared and Jensen with smirks on their faces.”

“She fainted.” Jensen says and you smack his arm again.

“I did not faint! Stop telling people that! That wasn’t the first time that I was meeting either of you!” You say laughing. “Anyways, when I was auditioning for the part they told me, we don’t have a name for this character yet, we’re looking through a few names trying to decide which one we want to use so the boys are just gonna use your name for the audition, so I was just like uh, okay. This should be interesting.”

“She did amazing.” Jared says looking down at you with a smile.

“Considering the two of you were making funny faces and goofing off the entire time, I’d say I did pretty damn good!”

“So, side note, Jared and I went in there like oh, it’s some chick part, she’ll be on for an episode or two, whoever is here is gonna get the part, whatever. So we had decided to make it hard on her instead of waiting until she was actually on the show, just to show her what she was getting herself into. Not only did we not know that it was gonna be Y/N, which only made messing with her easier, but after they extended out how long her character was going to be on the show, Jeff made it very clear that he would help her get back at us. But we were making faces and saying lines that aren’t in the script, and just doing everything we can to mess with her without letting anyone else know we’re doing it. After about ten minutes of this, just out of nowhere, she stops what she’s saying mid-sentence and goes, can’t you two just be adults for five minutes?” Jensen admits with a small smile.

“She had a knife in her hand when she said it too, and not like a fake prop knife, but an actual very sharp knife, and she just pointed it at us.” Jared chimes in.

“That was when they gave me the part too. I was given the script within a few days and in the script they just used my name, I was just like alright, that’ll be easy to remember!” The audience laughs.

“She’ll make even the smallest movements or do something while we’re filming a scene that she doesn’t even realize she’s doing, and almost all of it works for her character. It’s sort of like they wrote this part for her.” Jensen jokes, looking down at you with a smile.

You turn to the next fan, giving her a smile and saying “Hi.” She answers with a hi, stating her name and then asking her question, asking what your favorite supernatural being to fight is. You just shrug, having been on the show for not even a year yet and mostly fighting demons, you didn’t really know what your favorite would be. Jared says the fairies, talking for a moment about the scene at the end when he pours the salt.

Jensen thinks for a moment, finally saying, “Ya know what, I’m gonna go with good, old fashioned ghosts.” The crowd cheers. “Vampires are just too easy. You just chop their heads off. You don’t even get to shoot em. Uhh-”

“You know what’s the easiest?” Jared cuts in and you and Jensen look at him, “Zombies. A baseball bat.” You start laughing, and Jared continues, “I mean if you can wear a scarf while killing a being, it’s really not that scary. One second, let me tighten my ascott.”

“You know how you deal with zombies, like those zombies.” Jensen says around his laughter. “Here, be a zombie for a second. Be a Walking Dead zombie” He says to Jared and you watch as they get up and Jared starts to act like a zombie, Jensen just walking away from him like it’s no big deal. “You just walk away!”

“True story.” Jared says as they walk back over to take their seats beside you. “I could totally be on Walking Dead!”

“I was scared for my life just now.” Jensen jokes.

“Where was my ascott?” Jensen laughs, and Jared turns to thank the fan for her question, then asks how his zombie was. Of course the crowd cheers him on.

“It was dead on.” Jensen says, looking back to the drummer. Jared pinches the bridge of his nose, laughing for a second.

“Yeah, it’s not called like the sprinting dead, or the running dead, it’s the Walking-” He stops to laugh. At this point you’re laughing so hard you can barely breathe.

“It’s the Walking Dead!” Jensen says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “What do you do? You just walk faster.” He shrugs, a smirk on his lips. “Jeff’s gonna kill us.”

Jared laughs and says, “Yeah, that’s not the only thing he’s gonna kill you for.” You stop laughing, staring up at Jared with wide eyes as he continues to laugh. Jensen just looks between you and Jared, confused as to what Jared’s talking about. When Jared finally looks at you, his eyes widen as he realizes what he just said. He mumbles a “sorry”, you and Jensen the only ones able to hear it, a sheepish smile on his lips. Jared tries to fix his mistake, quickly turning to the next fan.

When she states that her question is for Jared and Jensen, asking if they could choose a happy ending for Sam, Dean and Cas, you zone out. You feel cold but there’s a sweat breaking out across your skin, your face pale and your cheeks rosy. You stay in your seat, willing yourself to keep down the bile that’s creeping up your throat so you don’t have to leave the stage again, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention to yourself. You lean down to grab your bottle of water from the floor, Jared catching your arm when you almost fall and helping you to sit back up without really drawing any attention from anyone other than Jensen. Because of course Jensen had to notice.

The next girl that comes up of course has to direct her question towards you, and you only. First she asks why you chose to be on Supernatural instead of joining your dad on The Walking Dead, to which you quickly answer, “I love my dad but I don’t wanna work with him.” The audience laughs, as do Jared and Jensen. “My dad actually came by the set one day, just to see everyone I guess, or to spy on me, I don’t know. When he walked in we were in the middle of filming so he just kind of hung around until I was done. But that of course had to be the day when we were filming the scene where I was supposed to be kissing Jensen, or Dean, for the first time. Now if any of you remember that scene, that first kiss between my character and Dean was pretty hot and heavy, right?” The crowd sort of cheers. “Yeah, he wasn’t too happy about that.”

“He actually threatened me!” Jensen says laughing, “Told me there better not be any funny business between us. And of course, still being in character, my response was, ‘No sir, but I can’t stop what Dean Winchester does’. He didn’t like that too much.” You laugh, the memory of pulling your father away from Jensen before he punched him flashing through your mind.

“I hope that answers your question.” You say to the fan with a smile. Your smile falters as your stomach flips, but you push it down, determined to get through the rest of the panel. But when the next girl comes up and asks if you’re okay, saying that she noticed you looked a little off all day, the bile starts to rise up your throat again. You take another drink of your water, hoping it helps as Jensen starts to speak on your behalf.

“She’s been getting over a stomach bug for about a week.” Jensen says with a small smile, glancing at you to make sure you’re okay. You just nod your head, resting your bottle of water between your legs and picking up your microphone.

“Little over a week ago I started to get sick, just a nasty virus or something. But I’m doing better, slowly getting better. I got lucky filming this week because they only needed me for two days and they were both shorter-ish days.” You chuckle at the word you made up. “They also switched one of my days of filming with one of Jensen’s days so that I could get a bit more rest in between my two days, so I’m very thankful of them for that.”

“Well we’re glad you’re okay!” The girl says with a bright smile and you nod, giving her a smile in return. Jensen watches as you take another drink of your water, the feeling of acid rising up your throat only getting stronger.

The next girl comes up and asks about becoming an actress. Jared immediately says “Don’t do it” with a joking smile before turning the question to Jensen. Jensen turns to her, beginning to explain ways to help her follow her dreams. Then Jared starts giving her advice, telling her to constantly remind herself why she does it and why she loves acting, as it’s not an easy business. She says “thank you” and begins to walk away, Y/N sitting there giggling making Jared and Jensen both look at her.

“I guess I sort of had it easy.” You say glancing up at Jared with a chuckle. “Let me explain what exactly I mean by that. So, I definitely haven’t gotten every part I’ve auditioned for, I’ve been turned down quite a few times actually, and I honestly didn’t expect to get the part on Supernatural or for it to go on this long. I expected for them to kill me off within a few episodes or for me to be like Felicia or Kim where I come for an episode or two and then I’m not on the show for a season or two and then I come back, that sort of thing.”

“I guess they like you.” Jensen says with a wink.

“Anyways.” You say with a roll of your eyes. “Luckily, my last name is sort of common so I don’t always get recognized, but I’ve still had those auditions where I walk in and I tell them, my name is Y/F/N Morgan, I’m here to audition for yada, yada, whatever. And there are still the people that recognize my name and say, oh Morgan, you’re Jeffrey’s daughter. And either they set the standard really high because of the amazing actor that my father is and they expect me to live up to that, which is really hard sometimes. Or there are the auditions that I’ve gone to where they don’t really like the work my dad has done or they don’t like something about him, and they immediately think that I wouldn’t be a good fit for the part because of that, which is also really hard. And I’ve had one or two where they straight out told me, I love your father and I expected you to be better, which at one point I stopped acting because of that.”

“This industry isn’t easy.” Jared mumbles where only you and Jensen can hear him.

You nod, but keep speaking, “But, like with the audition for Supernatural, I’ve had directors and casting agents and producers call me or my agent, who is also my dad’s agent, and they’ll say something like, I know you’re father and I’ve seen some of your work and I’d like you to audition for this part that we’ve got. Which with Supernatural it was actually a call from my dad saying, they need a female for this small part, why don’t you go audition? Nobody knew it was gonna be Jeffrey’s daughter walking in to the audition until I got there, and how y’all didn’t put that together still astounds me.”

Jensen laughs, “I saw your name on some paper too, and I was like well that name sounds familiar, but it just did not cross my mind that you were gonna be the one to audition for the part.” This makes you laugh, shaking your head, but the movement makes you a little dizzy.

“This isn’t the easiest industry, and I had quit for a good five years, but I honestly wouldn’t dream of doing anything else. Although I did go to school and get my Bachelor’s in Nursing when I took that time off, I definitely would rather be doing this.” Jensen and Jared both just nod in agreement and the three of you turn to the next fan.

The next fan comes up and asks what the funniest moment Jared has had being a father, or a moment he’s most proud of, and Jared starts telling a story about Tom. You stand up, walking around Jensen to behind your chair and leaning on it, his eyes on you the entire time. Jensen leans over and whispers, “Are you okay?” and you nod, giving him a small smile.

“Just feeling sort of antsy I guess.” You say moving your legs a bit as you stand there.

“You look a little pale, are you sure you’re alright?” Jensen pushes and you sigh, rolling your eyes with an amused smile on your lips.

“Yes, dad, I’m fine.” You mutter, which makes Jared glance at the two of you with a raise eyebrow as he finishes his story.

“I don’t wanna know.” Jared says, his voice full of amusement, not realizing his microphone was still in front of his mouth. Immediately there’s ‘oooo’s coming from the audience, making you glare at Jared again.

“Shut up, Jared.” Jensen mutters, making you giggle.

Then the burn in your throat becomes stronger, and you can feel the bile making its way up again, making you start coughing and a sweat break out across your skin again. You drop your microphone into the chair, turning around and quickly making your way off stage. Kim rushes over to you with a small trash can, noticing you won’t be able to make it to the bathroom in time, and you immediately start puking again. “Fuck me.” You mutter, dry heaving, everything in your stomach already having been hurled up.

“That’s what got you into this mess, honey.” Kim teases with a small smile, trying to make you feel better. You laugh, walking over to a chair and sitting down, Kim following you with the trash can.

“You alright, Y/N?” Richard asks, his voice full of worry. You just nod, your eyes staying glued to the floor. “There’s only about fifteen minutes left of the panel, you wanna sit it out?” You nod again, gratefully accepting the cold bottle of water Kim hands you.

“Thank you.” You mumble, opening it and downing half of it.

For the next fifteen minutes you don’t move from that chair, just listening to the rest of the panel. Kim stays nearby in case you need anything, but otherwise leaves you to yourself. When you hear Richard and Rob run onto stage singing for the last question, you start to feel anxious, your leg beginning to bounce and a sweat breaking out across your skin again. Seven minutes later, Jared’s coming up on your left, his face colored with worry.

“Hey kid, you okay?” Jared asks, sitting beside you and rubbing slow circles across your upper back. You just nod, your throat feeling tight. “You’re gonna have to tell him, he knows somethin’s up.” Jared whispers and you can hear the sound of his boots on the floors, quickly getting closer to you.

“Y/N, are you okay?” Jensen asks, crouching down right in front of you. You avoid his gaze, so he gently grabs your chin and makes you look at him. Your eyes are full of tears and there’s a few that have escaped down your cheeks. He grabs your hand without another word, leading you down the hallway to an empty room, pulling you inside and shutting the door behind you. “What’s going on, Y/N? What are you not telling me?”

More tears fall down your cheeks and you just stare at him for a moment, memorizing the way those beautiful green eyes shine in the dim lights of the room. The way his jaw clenches because he’s worried about you and becoming annoyed that you’re hiding something from him. The way his hands are clenching and unclenching in fists, as if to stop himself from reaching out for you. He takes a step closer to you, now standing only a foot away, reaching out and pushing the hair out of your face. He sighs, closing his eyes for a brief moment before they’re looking at you again, shining with an emotion you’ve never seen from him, one you can’t quite place.

“Please talk to me sweetheart, you know I’m always here for you.” He says sweetly, a small smile tugging on his lips.

“You’re gonna hate me, Jen.” You whisper, another tear falling down your cheek.

“I could never hate you, you’re my best friend.” Jensen whispers, cupping your cheek in the palm of his hand.

You sigh, closing your eyes, “I-I’m pregnant.” Jensen freezes, just staring down at you for a moment. When you open your eyes you see that his eyes are wide and he’s frozen in his spot. His hand is now an inch away from your face and he’s just staring down at you, but it’s like he’s looking straight through you. “Jensen?” You whisper, trying to get his attention. “Please say something.”

“It-it’s mine, right?” Jensen suddenly asks, his voice monotone and void of any emotion, and his eyes still not completely focusing on you.

You scoff, angry at his accusation, glaring up at him. “Yes, Jensen, it is yours.” You snap and he slightly shakes his head, finally focusing on you, his green eyes locking with your Y/E/C ones.

“No, sweetheart, I didn’t mean it like that I just… Fuck.” He runs a hand through his hair, slightly pulling on the ends in frustration, his eyes shut tight.

“Look, I know that this isn’t what you want, we were taking all the precautions to avoid this, but I fucked up on my pills and now I’m pregnant. I understand if you don’t want anything to do with this and I already have a meeting on Monday morning in Vancouver to talk about ending my contract because I can’t just give up this baby, but I won’t stick around and keep doing the show when-” Your babble is cut off by Jensen’s plump lips pressed firmly against yours, his hands gripping your hips tightly as he pulls you against his chest. He moves his hands down, grabbing the back of your thighs and lifting you up, setting you on the edge of the table. He breaks the kiss, keeping his forehead pressed against yours.

“You really thought that I would hate you for this?” You shrug, avoiding his gaze. He puts two fingers under your chin, making you look up at him. “I could never hate you Y/N, especially not for this. This isn’t just your fault, it’s my fault too sweetheart, we did this together.”

“You’re really not upset?” You ask, searching his eyes.

“Well, this might be a little hard to explain to the fans but I’m sure we can figure it out.” He teases, making a small smile appear on your lips. “How could I possibly be upset by you telling me you’re pregnant with my baby? Sure, it’s not what we had planned, but we’ll get through this.” He presses another kiss to your lips, this one much softer and sweeter.

“I love you.” You whisper against his lips, making him smile.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” He goes to kiss you again but someone knocks on the door, making both of you jump.

“Jense, we’ve got photo ops in five.” Jared calls from outside the door. Jensen helps you down from the table and takes your hand in his, intertwining your fingers as he opens the door. Jared’s leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk on his lips. He glances down at your intertwined hands then up to you, smuggly saying, “Told you so.”

“Shut up Jared.” You mutter, not able to keep the small smile off your lips. Jared just laughs, walking behind you and Jensen to the photo ops. As soon as you enter the room Misha comes skipping toward you, looking like an overly excited puppy.

“Y/N, you and I have autographs with Mark.” Misha says, nobody yet to notice Jensen’s hand still intertwined with yours.

“Later sweetheart.” Jensen says leaning down and pressing a sweet kiss to your lips, right there in front of everyone, including the line of fans waiting to have their photos taken with Jared and Jensen.

You just stare at him, completely shocked by his public display of affection.

“Jeff is so gonna kill you, dude.” Jared jokes, making you giggle and Jensen groan as Misha drags you off in one direction and Jared drags Jensen off in the other.

Okay, I loved your answers for the first lot so I’m back with more! Spider-Man (Marvel, again-duh), Sharpay Evans (HSM), Dipper Pines (Gravity Falls) and idk if this is cheating but maybe Coral? (my stories bc I’m a narcissist lmao) and another of your choosing, bc why not? 😆 Enjoy! Be as honest as you like!

This is so much fun! I’m loving this!

Spider-Man (Marvel)

First impression: My first impression would have to be of the Andrew Garfield version as that is the first one I ever saw. To be honest, I thought the nerdy, kind and all around cool Spider-Man was the best! I had a crush on him for the longest time.

Impression now: Tom Holland is freaking amazing as Spider-Man! He’s perfect for the role. Peter Parker is a sweetheart and his relationships with his friends, Aunt May, Happy and Tony Stark are so pure and realistic; I just can’t get enough!

Favorite moment:

Jk jk 😂 this one is 👇🏼

Idea for a story: I kinda would like to do a story where Pete’s school visits Stark Industries for a field trip and Flash is all like “time to prove you lied about your interview, Penis Parker” and Tony just comes in and proves Flash wrong in every way he can. Irondad and Spiderson is perfect in my opinion.

Unpopular opinion: I wish Peter didn’t have to grow up so fast. I know what it’s like to mature prematurely bc of family members dying or other circumstances outside of my control. I love the way Marvel handled it, but I still wish he didn’t have to.

Favorite relationship: Irondad (Tony Stark) and Spiderson (Peter Parker)

Favorite headcanon: *SPOLERS* Endgame fix-it. Where everyone is happy and healthy and fucking alive! I’m... still not okay. I’ll post how my Endgame experience went later...

Sharpay Evans (High School Musical)

First Impression: Not gonna lie, she reminded me of this freaking biatch from my school named Ashley. She ticked me off and I wanted so badly for someone to put her in her place. 😆

Impression now: Spoiled rich girl, but after rewatching HSM 3 I’ve realized she actually was getting better over time. Her solo movie was also amazing and added quite a bit to her character.

Favorite moment:

Idea for a story: If I were to make a story, it’d probably be a East High reunion or just a “where are they now” kinda thing.

Unpopular opinion: (not sure if this is unpopular, but it is among my friend group) If she had ended up with Zeke (I think that’s the one I’m thinking of) I would’ve loved it.

Favorite relationship: Her sibling relationship with Ryan is iconic

Favorite headcanon: Once again; if she ended up with Zeke.

Dipper Pines (Gravity Falls)

First impression: Boy version of me when I was 12. I was all about conspiracies, exploring my small town, theories and all of that, so I clicked with him immediately.

Impression now: I have adopted him as my own. I feel like Gravity Falls is a part of who I am now. I loved the show from the day the first episode aired. I have a couple of the GF books, including Journal 3 and I just love the parts about my lil Dippin’ Dots!

Favorite moment: The awkward siblings hugs!

Idea for a story: I actually have a load of story ideas! I have a few that include OCs, but I have at least 5 that are just about the characters in the show. My biggest one that I can’t wait to write, is where the twins get permission from their parents to stay in Gravity Falls with their Grunkles 😁

Unpopular opinion: If Dipper and Mabel had talked things out a bit better before the end of summer, Weirdmaggedon might not have happened the way it did. I don’t blame them for it in any way, but I just think it would’ve gone down differently if they had talked things out.

Favorite relationship: I love the familial bonds Dipper has with his Grunkles and Mabel! They are great! I like how he is with Wendy as well, but the family bonds in the show are just perfection!

Favorite headcanon: Dipper and Mabel go back to Gravity Falls through the years and end up taking mentor/mentee positions with Grunkles Ford and Grunkle Stan respectively.

Coral (Paper Flowers)

First Impression: Sweet, Classy, a little Smartassy. Loved her interactions with everyone! Her relationship with everyone made everything feel realistic to me.

Impression now: One of my favorite OCs to read. I can reread anything with her in it and love it all the same as I did the first time around. She’s amazingly well written and her progress over time has been incredible! I love what you’ve done with her!

Favorite moment: I can’t think of a moment that I didn’t like! I love in chapter 14 of Paper Flowers when she and Butchy danced to Can I Have This Dance, so, if I had to pick, I’d have to say that’s my all time favorite! 😊

Idea for a story: That freaking collab we’ve gotta do eventually, girlie!

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think I have any crazy opinions on her. She’s an amazing character and I love her!

Favorite relationship: Her interactions with everyone are amazing. Your writing is incredible and the relationships are all so well formed! I absolutely adore her relationship with Butchy, so that’s my top fave, but I really like the interactions between her and Tanner as well.

Favorite headcanon: I don’t really have one for Coral just yet.

For anyone who hasn’t read Paper Flowers and doesn’t know what I’m talking about, here’s a link to Paper Flowers and it’s sequel, Reality Check!

England Do you like to drink tea? I only drink iced tea and only the artificial kind, so I don’t think that even counts as tea. My tongue never did adapt well to traditional ones. Do you like to put sugar in your tea? I like my iced tea super sweet if that counts. Have you ever explored an ancient castle? No but it would be interesting to enter one! If you're a Christian, are you Catholic or Protestant? I was baptized and still legally Catholic. Philippines is predominantly Catholic, with 80% of the population; I don’t how the % of Protestants, but it’s definitely a much smaller bit of the pie since the rest of the religions are divided into different Christian denominations, then Islam. Do you live in a big house? It’s definitely bigger than my childhood home, so that’s more than enough.

Are there a lot of seagulls where you live? I don’t think seagulls fly over to this side of the world? Correct me if I’m wrong though. Do you have a garden? Only a very small one. Name something you own with the British flag on it. Probs an old UK-themed notebook lying around, but I’m not sure if I still even have those or if they already got thrown out. What's your favorite part of London? I dunno. London always seemed like such a hectic city for me and I’ve never really had an idea about its identity. If you've been to England, what was your favorite city you've visited? If applicable, what is/was your favorite store in London? I’m not sure I know any London-based stores. Have you ever been lost in London? Nope. Would you say your personality is British? Do you think you'd fit in there? I’d say my personality is the furthest thing from that since I’ve never been submerged in their local culture. I don’t know if I would fit in; a lot of them seem pretty short-tempered lmao. Do you have English ancestors, or are you from England? I’m positively -60% English. Ireland What is one of your favorite celtic songs? I don’t know anything about Irish history/culture other than Becky Lynch, Sheamus, and Niall Horan. I’m laying that out this early. Do you have red hair? Absolutely not. Are you Irish? No Irish blood in my system at all.

Name 5 redheads that you know. Becky Lynch x2.5, Sheamus x2.5 lmao. Who in your family is/was a redhead? Nobody. If you've been to Ireland, what was your favorite city you visited? I haven’t been to Ireland but I would rather take a trip there than to London definitely. Did you have any bad experiences in Ireland? Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? No but Western social media shoves it in my face every year. I have no idea what it’s about other than they turn the Chicago River green. Do you like Irish food? I don’t know much about their food actually :o I don’t think there are places that serve it. What's one thing you like about ancient cathedrals? The fact that millions of lives with different experiences, all in different contexts have come and gone within them. Do you like rolling hills of green? ...I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you just talking about hills? Because yes, hills are fine with me lmao. Do you like bagpipes? No. All this question gave me was the image of Ross Geller playing them on a Friends episode because he wanted to surprise Chandler and Monica on their wedding. If you're Irish, what part of Ireland is your family from? Do you like English accents or Irish accents better? I like both but I find English ones a wee bit more satisfying to listen to. China What is your Chinese zodiac sign? Tiger. ^Do you like it? Do you feel it fits your personality? I don’t give a shit about it. Do you like your American zodiac sign or Chinese zodiac sign better? I don’t give a shit about either, either. Do you like Chinese food? LOOOOOOOVE good ol’ family-style Chinese food. None of that fake Chinese takeout. List three of your favorite Chinese foods. Minced pork with eggplant, century eggs, spring rolls. Are you familiar with the topic of footbinding? I do. We were taught about it from very early on. What are your favorite books about the Chinese? I don’t really read books about the Chinese. I’ve read readings on Chinese history in high school and college–which I all enjoyed–but I’m not passionate about them enough to pick a favorite. Do you know anyone Chinese? I know a lot of them. Philippines has a very large Chinese Filipino/Filipino Chinese community thanks to their mass migrations way way back–they’ve since heavily integrated their native culture to the country, so we have a lot of Chinese restaurants and Filipinos typically love Chinese food, and we also (by law) celebrate Chinese New Year. There are also a lot of private schools established for kids of Chinese descent. Who is your favorite Chinese youtuber? I don’t have any. Have you ever cooked Chinese food at home? Not me because I don’t cook. My grandma and my dad have. Are you familiar with the Great Chinese Famine? Only a bit. Do you wish your school would teach you about other countries' history? It already does! UP’s very fortunate to have a very well-endowed history department: there are courses for West, East, Southeast, and South Asian, Latin American, United States, European, Spanish, and African history. We ain’t the top school in the country for nothing. Would you ever want to go to China? I already have. The old people there are SO rude and their sense of hygiene and manners is so different from what we have :( I’d still want to go back just for shits and giggles but their people are generally meh. Do you have any Chinese in your family? We do but they aren’t related to us anymore. The relatives who are Chinese are those who married into our family, but my family per se isn’t Chinese. Japan Do you like sushi? I’m fucking craaaaaaaazy about sushi. And sashimi. ^If so, what are your favorite kinds? Any kind as long as the main part is tuna, unagi (eel), or uni (sea urchin). What is your favorite manga series? I don’t read manga. Do you love Japanese street fashion? I appreciate it, but it’s too...hip for me hahaha. I’d stick to my preppy wardrobe. What color hair would you have as an anime character? Light pink maybe. Are you aware of the struggles of Japanese Americans during World War 2? Admittedly, not so sure about the situation of Japanese-Americans; but in general, the Japanese were unnecessarily big fucking bullies throughout WWII. They don’t even have the balls to say sorry completely until today. As a Filipino (PH was one of the countries it essentially raped head to toe), this continues to make me angry today.

No but I can understand the contexts of some sentences and have what I’d say is an extensive Spanish vocabulary.

Have you ever been to a fiesta? Yup. I was once part of a parade. Ever smacked a pinata? Nah we never used those for my birthdays. What's your favorite thing to order at Taco Bell?

I mean, it’s not literally closed; you can still book trips there but they’re still definitely super strict about what you can and can’t get away with. Would you ever want to visit South Korea? I already have. In terms of people’s niceness, they’re in the middle of Chinese (the shits) and Japanese (absolute angels). Most of the Koreans I dealt with were nice save for this one woman who shooed me away when I was taking a photo of something from her little bazaar. Have you ever had Korean food? YESSSSS I love Korean food so much, it’s so underrated. People gotta go deeper than sushi and Chinese fried rice cos there’s another East Asian with food that slaps as fuuuuuuuck.

No. Do you ever wonder why we don't hear much about South America? Probs because people and media play a hand in painting it in such a bad light, e.g. poverty, drugs, crime and otherwise glorify its big brother North America as a place of freedom and diversity and liberty when it’s just as big of a shithole as anywhere else. But I’m glad social media exposes issues in countries that often go unignored, South American ones included. Thailand Do you like elephants? I LOVE elephants, they’re my favorite creatures. Would you ever be brave enough to try walking on stilts? I’d be so scared but wouldn’t be opposed to trying. Do you know about sex trafficking in Thailand? I’ve heard enough to be actively aware of it, but I don’t know specifics. Do you like Thai food? Obsessed.

Do you know anyone who's Thai? I don’t think so. United States If you live in the US, which state do you live in? Which states have you visited? Which states have you lived in? Have you ever been to Washington D.C? No. What is your favorite American food? I don’t know...I’m genuinely not sure what counts as American food because the ones I know were influenced one way or another from other cuisines. Maybe burgers? I love me a juicy burger with brioche buns, caramelized onions, and a mayo-based sauce. Do you listen to popular music? Hahahaha, guilty pleasure. Do you dream of having two kids and maybe a dog? Yesssss. ...and living in a two-story house with a white picket fence? House yes; not so much on the fence. Fences aren’t the norm here; people have big-ass gates instead. ...and having a good job and saving for retirement? Why is this just an American thing? Isn’t this like a people thing? ....where you can retire to Florida and live on the beach? Florida was never my ideal home. Did you go to college? If so, what was your major? I’m in college atm. Journalism. Were you abused by your parents? Emotionally/mentally/verbally. Do you know any nice people? ????????

It was a local vacation but it was so much good fun. What countries have you visited? My own; Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia. What countries do you want to visit? Morocco, South Africa, Egypt, Canada, Peru, Malta, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia. Have you ever been to NYC? No. Do you live in a big city, small town, or other?

Survey #194

“i’m numb to the pleasure but still feel the pain.”

Do you still talk to the person you last made out with? Yeah. What kind of vitamins did you take as a kid? I believe I first had those Flintstones ones, then later Mom got the gummy type. Have you ever gone to court? Only to explain to a judge why I thought my scheduled month-long stay in the psych hospital was unnecessarily long for my state. I was convinced all I needed to do was talk to Jason and boom, my problems would be gone. Safe to say, I was delusional. Glad I won that battle though considering I loathe that hospital for their extreme lack of therapy and activities to keep us occupied and out of our own heads. I was committed there I think five times and no stay did jack-shit. Are you friends with your neighbors? No. How long has it been since you’ve seen The Lion King? Years. But bitch when that live action remake comes out I'mma be the very first hoe at that theater. Have you ever had a crush on your siblings friend? No. What's the longest amount of time you’ve been on an airplane without changing flights? However long the flight to Michigan was. What’s the best wedding you’ve been to? My former dance instructor's. What time did you wake up this morning? Like, 7. What are you doing this weekend? There's no difference in weekends and weekdays for me. I'm sure I'm doing nothing. What’s your favorite Disney movie? TLK. Do you wear colored contacts? No, but honestly I'd love more sapphire blue ones if they're a prescription and not just cosmetic. Who was the last person you went to the movies with? I think Mom? Or did I go with Dad later? When’s the last time you spent time with your cousins? I haven't seen Robby since '15, but Audrey passed through with my uncle sometime last year. My other cousins, hell if I know. Why did you fall for the last person romantically? Good Lord, that's an essay. Just more than anything, I think it was the fact that she cares so deeply about animals and people alike and is passionate about what's right and wrong. Can you speak in a different language conversationally? If so, which language? I could maybe manage a very simple German convo? Do you ever fear falling asleep? No, but I do rather frequently don't look forward to it, or at least the process of falling asleep. I don't go quickly. What’s the last thing you had to eat? A bagel. Would you rather eat all day or exercise all day? I don't believe you physically could eat all day? And exercising, I'm assuming you'd eventually pass out? But let's be hypothetical. I'd have to choose exercise, I care way too much about not gaining weight. Does one eye tend to be weaker than the other? Yes, my right is considerably worse. What do you think of guys who ask girls out over via text message or internet? It's definitely not my preferred method, but do it if you don't have the courage to in person/just can't for whatever reason. Have you ever had a churro? I believe I have? If I'm remembering the correct treat, it was unbelievably too sweet and I didn't like the crunch. What’s one thing you like about your town? The town itself is real old-fashioned and small. Did you believe that alcohol is more dangerous then weed? I know it is. Do you drink more apple or orange juice? Orange. Are you a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series? Never played, but I highly doubt I'd enjoy it. Do you like the beach? If it wasn't for the wind, blistering heat, and sand. So basically, I don't. I only like being in the ocean. Do you or did you have a curfew at one point? No. Well, correction, if it was a school night before high school and I was out with a friend, I'm sure Mom established something, but idr. Do you peel the wrappers off of plastic bottles? No. What do you think is the youngest age someone should lose their virginity? No younger than 16. But at any age, be. Smart. Have you ever played Super Smash Brothers? I think at friends' as a kid? What do you like on your sundaes? Like, just chocolate syrup lmao. Have you done anything productive today? Well, I exercised some. Do you believe in abstaining from sex until marriage? What I care about is waiting for a person you feel truly in love with. I actually feel like abstaining could be a bad idea, as I'd assume for some people, the desire to have sex would play a factor in them wanting to get married, so marriage could potentially be rushed for the sake of that when you're not adequately prepared in other areas. What is your sexual orientation? Bi. Do you put your name on your food coverings? If I was using a fridge at a job or whatever, yeah, but I'm not in that type of situation. What is something you have acquired with age? Open-mindedness. Would you ever go out in public sporting pajamas? Depends on where I'm going. Have you ever ridden in a race car? No. Do you enjoy history? No. Have you ever changed religions? Twice. Is there anyone to whom you are afraid to stand up to? Mom. And pretty much everyone else. Do you like making lists? Sometimes. Do you play sports with your siblings? Never di- oh wait, Mom signed all three of us up for cheerleading as little kids. Hated it. Are there stairs in your house? No. Do you like onions on your burger? A small amount of minced pieces is fine. Could you ever give yourself a shot? Yeah. What is your favorite room to clean? I get the most satisfaction out of cleaning my own. Do you enjoy cleaning? Not the process of it, just the feeling afterwards. What do you consider your ideal weight? My /ideal/ would be around 120 again, but I'd be happy enough between 130-140. How many pounds do you need to lose (or gain) to be your ideal weight? LET US NOT What is your favorite thing about Valentine’s Day? Just it being a celebration of love, which to me, goes beyond just romantic. I think people should spend a little extra effort in letting one another know they really love each other. Now I believe every day you should treat people with love, but seriously focus on it and be thankful for those you have. If you wear one, what color is your wristwatch? N/A Have you ever made a pair of earrings? No. Who did you inherit your hair color from? I actually think Dad? Going through family pictures after Grampa died, I found out he was actually born dirty-blonde (I've only known him with black), like I was. Pretty sure Mom's was always brown. Have you ever wished that you were born in a different era? Woulda loved being born in the mid-early '80s. Do you prefer soft rock or hard rock? ....... I read "rock" as in like, minerals. And I was. Very confused. High on the list of my dumbest readings. Anyway, definitely hard. What was the best time of your life? As a kid. Do you prefer sunny or cloudy weather? Partly cloudy. How do you like your potatoes? For most of my life I only liked them as fries or as potato skins w/ cheese and bacon bits, but I'm gradually branching out. I like baked potatoes split with cheese and bacon inside too, and Sara's mom exposed me to the very first time I enjoyed mashed potatoes, yeet. So those have to be made a very specific, non-clumpy way. I also like hash browns, but not the shredded kind. Oh yeah, I live for the fiesta potatoes at Taco Bell too like gd good shit. Who’s your best friend? My babygirl. <3 If you don't count her, it'd be my mom, but if she's excluded too being family, I don't really have a best friend. Maybe Girt, idk. What’s a TV show you never miss? I don't watch any shows regularly. The one and only situation where I'd watch every episode ASAP is if Meerkat Manor came back. Have you ever lied about your gender? No. What are you planning on doing on your next birthday? Go out to eat with family, and though unlikely, getting a tattoo would be awwwesome. Do you know anyone else with your last name other than family? I don't think so? Is your favorite band still together? I actually just looked it up because I really wanted to know, and his band's still going, apparently! I thought this coming tour ("No More Tours 2") was the end, but apparently it's just the finale of his world tours. Where do you see most of your concerts? I've only been to one, which was in Raleigh. That's the most likely place we'd go to, though. Have you ever had escargot? Never in my life will I try it. Do you use Google every day? No. What was the last new food you tried that you thought was delicious? Oh my god in Heaven. So, for Christmas, my sis made these hot chocolate cream balls things she found on Pinterest, and literally, maybe the best thing I'd ever had. I just barely had enough discipline to not eat more than one lol. If you could invent a new holiday, what month would you put it in? Hm. Idk. Have you ever had a bedroom with a specific theme? No, I don't think so. If you had to design a room with a theme, what theme would you choose? Gothic, maybe with lil bits of pastel goth for some more personality. What was the best thing that ever happened to you? Realizing I can't just give my entire life to a person, losing any control over it myself. You have to allow yourself to be free; do not chain yourself to a single person. Have you ever given money to a homeless person? No. One, I don't have a source of income, and two, I'm perfectly aware what probably 99% do with it, especially because of my mom, who's pretty much made friends with the homeless on the side of the road, has learned each and every one use drugs or alcohol, so instead she buys them food frequently. That's something I would want to do, but I'm so paranoid of strangers, especially desperate ones, harming me for whatever reason that I probably never will. Do you like your hair better long or short? SHORT. OH MY GOOOOOD CUTTING MY HAIR SHORT WAS ONE OF MY BEST DECISIONS. Have you ever designed your own Facebook timeline cover? Yeah. What is one site that closed down that you wish would come back? Hmmmm. I don't really know. Well, the Animal Planet site still exists, but I wish there was still a dedicated MM section, y'know, with the forums and games and such. Really think it'd be nice if they kept little sections for all of their classic, better-known shows for old fans. Hell, I'm pretty sure MM was their most successful, why not keep remnants of it up there? Do you ever watch TV shows on YouTube? Rarely, if I ever watch a show. Foo Fighters vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers: Not a real fan of either, but I'd have to choose the former as I enjoy at least two of their songs. Have your parents ever complained about your hair? My mom was reeeaaally shocked and distressed when she arrived at the parlor when I got the "big" haircut and saw how much was gone (eight inches), but only because she was scared I'd hate it. Thankfully she really liked it when it was all said and done. Are you a fan of the Saw movies? Never really watched 'em. How did you decide on your Tumblr name? I'm a sucker for alliteration, and it's a survey blog. Do your friends have the complete opposite music taste as you? My closer friends, not really, actually. Do you ever forget how old your siblings are? I don't know any of my half-siblings' ages, and I forget how old Ashley is sometimes. I forget frequently if she's two or three years older than me. Do you tend to walk places more than drive? Ha, you can't walk to a destination here in the country. I only ever ride/rarely drive anywhere. Do you have any photos of you kissing someone? Yes. Do you ever hang out with your ex? Rarely with Girt. Would you like the ability to read minds? No, especially if you can't choose when it's "on" or "off." Even if you only choose when you do it, idk. Just... doesn't seem like a safe idea. Do you see the same people everyday? Lol that's usually just my mom, and yes. Have you ever made out on a couch? Yeah. Are you mad at anyone right now? No. It’s 4 in the morning, your phone rings, what do you do? Almost a guarantee I won't hear, considering it's on vibrate. Now if I did for whatever reason, ignore it unless it's a contact on my phone. Have you ever fallen backwards on a chair? I believe so, playing as a kid. Last time you laughed so hard you cried? I'm not sure, but considering I do that easily... Who last talked about kissing you? Sara. Who was the last thing/person you took a picture with? My kiiiitty. Did you speak to your father today? No. Would you ever get gauged ears? Definitely no. What aren’t you looking forward to? I really don't mean to sound all emo and whatnot, but I genuinely don't look forward to like every afternoon/early evening, as that's around when I hit my extreme boredom decline, which goes so low I feel death could maybe be more exciting. I am in no way suicidal, I just want this era of isolation, lack of purpose, and no progress towards a great future to end. My life's been at a stand-still for pretty much a year. Would you rather get your tongue or lip pierced? I already have both done. I find my snake eyes way cuter, but when I consider my outward appearance and what people generally see, I'd rather have my labret. What is your favorite personality trait? Kindness. What is the most romantic thing a significant other could do? Idk, but something with deep personal meaning for sure. When you are dating someone, what is the most important thing to you? There has to be a mutual, serious care for our relationship; my partner has to understand I'm not in for a fling. We both have to have the goal of forming and maintaining a healthy, long-lasting, meaningful relationship. If I feel being together is a game to you or just for a couple months of a bit of fun, bye. Would you be able to tell someone you love them, even if you didn’t feel it? No. Well, I do with my mom if she's pissed me off and I *feel* like I don't, but I know I do. If you were engaged, would you want a wedding as soon as possible? Not necessarily. I believe engagement is a stage where you're certain you want to get married in the not-so-distant future, but you have other important things to take care of first, like for example, buying a home and stuff like that. When in a relationship do you have to have contact with your partner on a daily basis? I wouldn't freak the hell out if you couldn't talk to me for a day, but I'd definitely want at least a little conversation, especially if we're serious. Do you believe in moving in together before engagement or marriage? Yes. You should know how you're going to handle being with your s/o every single day. Did you ever give a hickey to the last person you kissed or you guys didn’t go that far? Not yet. Is there anyone you want to come see you? Yeah. What was the last thing you saw that scared you? A video of this guy with his giant pet centipede like an idiot (super venomous) crawling all over him. Centipedes creep me the hell out, although at the same time I find them kinda cool. Is there something that’s happened today that you don’t want to ever go through again? No. Is the last person you kissed attractive? Yeah. Do you feel bored with your life? I think I've covered this enough. Who’s someone you miss that you haven’t talked to in years? Megan, more than anyone. Do you have severe withdrawals from medications? I don't think any were ever severe, but I was weaned off of them all I believed. Just honestly I've been on so many since 6th grade that I can't recall each one's ending. I only recall having shadow hallucinations when I was coming off one. What’s the most weight you’ve ever gained from a medication? Let's not talk about the subject I'm more bitter about than anything else in the entire world. Summary: Don't touch Abilify even if your fucking life depended on it. Do you have a doctor you can trust? My psychiatrist and therapist, very much so. I've only seen my new general doctor twice, so I can't make a fair judgment of her. Mom has a friend who sees her though, and she only has positive things to say about her. Do you pray? If yes, to whom? No. What do you miss about high school? A social life. Art class. What do you miss the most about college? Literally the one and only part I enjoyed at my first college was lunchtime, because Jason and I could spend time together, sometimes with his friends. Second college, nothing. It was online. Have you ever been the victim of a crime? I don't believe so? Is your life worse than you could have ever have imagined it to be? Or is it better, or just what you expected? Ohhhh man... As a kid, I was so sure I'd be amazing. Still had a bit of hope in middle school. High school and beyond, it's, so far, worse than I'd planned. What is the most beautiful landscape you have ever seen? Mountains. Driving through them is unreal. What is one place you have always wanted to visit? Idk about "always." But for the longest amount of time, it's been without a doubt South Africa. Who were your favorite celebrities as a child? Steve Irwin was and still is one of my absolute heroes. I loved Jeff Corwin, Jesse McCartney, Raven Symone, and the Sprouse twins, too. Do you prefer slow songs or fast songs? I'd say generally, faster. What color is your trash can? White. Who was your favorite family pet when you were growing up? We didn't really have a "family" pet, just ones one of us individually were particularly close to. I'd say the closest that qualifies would be Chance, our first cat. She was special. List five of your favorite YouTubers. You Already Know, GameGrumps, Shane Dawson, Daniel Howell, and Jeffree Star, but. I have so many jsfaqoweuoapsf. I wanna squeeze Rhett and Link in there, but while I still love them as people and creators, I've been losing interest in GMM over the months. What’s your favorite type of bird? Barn owls. I also love ravens though for their intelligence and personalities. What pet names do you use with your significant other? A lot, but I'd say either "sweetheart/sweetie" or "dear" are most common from me. I think. How would you describe your sense of humor? Sarcastic, I guess. Have you ever been a member in a band? No. Well, except school band. Have you ever watched yourself on video? Yeeaah, senior project was fun. But I know how I usually am well enough to say I honestly don't feel I did badly. Have you ever missed a flight? Yup. Never go to the O'Hare airport, jfc. Have you ever seen a lunar eclipse? Yes, and I hope to see the one this Sunday! Are you still in touch with your best friend from high school? No. Any animals whose behaviors you find particularly interesting? AHHHHHHH SO MANY!!!!! Social species' above all. Do you like animals better than most humans? Yes. What simple things in life bring you the most joy? Long car rides when I can play my iPod through the speakers and just go to another world. Sara singing, hearing my mom laugh. Seeing old couples holding hands in public kills me. How did you meet your significant other (if you have one)? YouTube. How did you meet your best friend? She's the same person as above. Are you friends with anybody you didn't like at first? Also see Sara lmao. Are there any musicians you didn't like at first, but grew on you? The first/most recent to come to mind is In This Moment. Is there anything you used to love, but now dislike? Peas as a kid. I'm kinda on the fence of liking or disliking PewDiePie as he is now (although I haven't watched too much of his newer content). Do you have any favorite books you'd like to have signed by the author? It'd be pretty cool for Ozzy to sign my copy of his autobiography, sure. Do you enjoy any of those old black and white horror films? Any one I've ever seen has been horrid, so I haven't seen many. What is your favorite yogurt topping? I loved those ones that had M&Ms in them. Where do you shop the most: Kmart, Target, Walmart, Fred Meyer, or other? Walmart or Harris Teeter. Have you ever done a craft project you saw on Pinterest? No. What beverages do you drink that contain caffeine? Soda. What has been the best experience you've had in a church? Uhhh. Oh, Jason's brother's wedding. Do you prefer that your nachos be spicy or not spicy? Obviously spicy. Have you ever had a kiss that felt magical? Mine and Jason's first was cute, but I don't recall if I thought it was "magical" because all I was focusing on was just how shy I was. First kiss with Sara was definitely more than special. Who is your best online friend? Sara once again. Who knows more about you: online friends or offline? Online, easily. Do you think that love makes people irrational? It can. What book, movie, or TV show did you find to be total garbage? Oh, I'm positive there's something, but nothing comes to mind. Is there a topic that is a sore-spot for you? Mental health and how it may affect your loved ones. Have you ever lost a friend over a guy/girl? Pretty much. Have you ever lost a friend because of a lifestyle change? Yup. Do you like kissing? The right person. What location holds the most memories for you? My childhood home. Hypothetically let’s just say you’re a supervillain. What’s your agenda? What are you trying to destroy and why? I would never want to be, but I suppose the most suitable for me would be punishing the person to break a promise somehow. Why, because I know just how agonizing broken promises can be. What’s your go-to topic when making small talk with others? How their day's been. When you get to be in charge of the tunes on a road trip or party - do you play what you want to hear or tailor the playlist to what you think the other people in the car/room want to hear? I do a mix of both. Thankfully, Mom and I like most of the same music, but I do learn what songs she doesn't like and avoid playing them unless I really wanna hear it. You have any bad habits you shamelessly don’t care to or plan to quit? Shamelessly, idk about that. There’s an app for everything. What apps consume the most of your time and energy? Facebook. The most overrated thing ever - what is it? I literally judge you if you have a bigass, obnoxiously loud truck. Compensating for something? The most underrated? Ummmm. Talking about pointless shit and doing nothing while enjoying your favorite person's presence is surely one. What’s something you find unconventionally romantic? Teaching your s/o how to play a game together and you both are enjoying it asjfaoswuw. One of my most cherished memories with Jason was that with Little Big Planet. Just in general I find it super cute to share what you love with each other.

god free! is such a dumb goofy series i love it like shit gets real sometimes but when it comes down to it it’s just a bunch of dumb goofy teens living their lives together?? i have compiled a list of my favorite examples from s1

makoto: *enters haru’s house uninvited, walks right into the bathroom while haru’s in the bath, presumably naked* hey haru: ....................................hey LIKe he just.... Accepts that this is happening, theres like a solid like 2 seconds of him just staring at makoto like he’s debating within himself whether to Say It or not before almost tangibly going “fuck it” & just going along w/ it*

haru & makoto & nagisa going “is it really okay to dig up our old trophy if rin isn’t here? idk it just feels wrong w/o him” only to find out that rin not only beat them there but also fucking just went ahead and dug it up by himself hfjdkjgd

haru having some kind of sixth sense for sugar apparently??? when nagisa throws “salt” on them he like tenses up all dramatic & goes “this isnt salt........................ it’s sugar” like ok????? just gonna let that one go i guess

rin having sharp teeth for absolutely no fucking reason

haru & rin not noticing the fucking pool they're about to race in is empty????

haru straight up rejecting their encounter with rin & trying to convince himself they all hallucinated him like huh? what? rin?? haha impossible he’s in australia there’s no way he couldve been at the swim club last night. no theres no such thing as airplanes he’s gone forever. yes im sure

rin going back to the old swim club again bc the first time his melodramatic brooding was interrupted by those old elementary school Goons showing up so he needed a do-over

nagisa skinny dipping in samezuka’s pool??? an apparently prestigious competitive swimming powerhouse that trains up future professional gold medalists, reigning champions of interhigh swim meets near and far in that same water & nagisa just jumps the fuck in dick out no fucks to give whatsoever???? this bitch

haru literally only showing up to both the old swim club and samezuka academy for the pools, it’s literally the equivalent of college students showing up to any given event for free food (and the fact that they had to break in both times, these Rowdy-Ass Teens)

rin showing up just in time to interrupt their illicit pool activities bc he Sensed Them

haru wearing his swimsuit under his clothes literally everywhere despite reportedly not having actually swum since middle school (except for in the ocean during summer, but it’s like the middle of spring rn?? is he just doing this in way advanced preparation? is this the equivalent of people who start posting abt halloween in july)

gou showing up to haru’s house bc apparently she just Knows where he lives (also haru hearing the doorbell & immediately submerging his head in the bath bc he’d rather drown than have to answer the door #relatable)

rei calling haru “haru-chan-san” upon first meeting him bc “haru-chan” is what nagisa has been referring to him as so that’s his sole point of reference but he also has to add his own honorific too bc come on

haru being instantly pissed at this random new fuck for calling him not only -chan, his Least favorite honorific, but now -san on top of it too??? Outrageous (and this is the same guy who reportedly “hates water,” a completely unacceptable sentiment that should under no circumstances be allowed anywhere near their team in the first place- honestly from haru’s pov it’s like “oh so this is the guy who hates water huh, this hot shit” & then the hot shit’s all “you must be haru-chan-san” he probably just immediately sees red ghdjsjf)

nagisa’s whole “we need this guy bc he has a girly name just like us it’s fate” thing even tho rei’s already in the track club doing pole vaulting that he’s obviously been training v hard to be able to do is such a stupid anime bullshit motivation & my favorite part of it is that their plan for recruiting him basically amounts to the whole gang of idiots showing up to all of rei’s practices and staring at him intensely from the corner until he joins them, like,,,, think of this from rei’s perspective he’s just minding his own business trying to perfect pole vaulting & these fuckers have fixated on him for no apparent reason? he can’t even swim???

rei going so far out of his way to avoid admitting to nagisa that he can’t swim that he comes up with this bullshit philosophy about “humans evolved from the water so why would we regress and get back into it??? Checkmate y’all are fucking idiots now leave me alone” (& also the effort & passion he puts into the delivery, the overdramatic gesturing hfhhddjf rei are u sure u don’t actually belong in the drama club)

after all that, rei up and deciding to leave the track team (even tho he literally structured his daily schedule around it, went running in the mornings & everything, read books n shit) to join the swim club bc haru just looked really, really cool while swimming that one time

haru legitimately having a hard time choosing between like 5 of the exact same swim suit

when they’re trying to figure out why rei can’t swim & haru’s like “the water doesn’t like him” & nagisa’s immediately like “poor rei-chan :(” like hfkglfkj he just Accepts

rei being so frustrated with his inability to swim that he blames it on his speedo & is very convinced that buying a new one will somehow solve all of his problems (& everyone else just going along w/ it like ok i guess it’s time to go swimsuit shopping then)

haru, the owner of the previously mentioned 5 identical swimsuits, joining in with everyone else to go shopping for even more swimsuits, and picking out another one that looks just fucking like the other 5 he already has

nagisa being told that he can’t put their ugly-ass bird mascot on the swim team uniform so he puts “secret iwatobi-chan” on the back of the shirt that will be hidden beneath the jacket as if that’s not Blatantly what he was told not to do (also the fact that anyone entrusted the handling of the uniforms to nagisa, the exact kind of person who would do exactly that kind of thing)

(ok this one isnt rly goofy but haru just bit his ice cream & im so intimidated rn??)

rin’s fucking 6th sense for haru again???? “smells like mackerel”????? i truly cannot handle this one (haru & company are looking in at samezuka’s practice through the window & rin’s just like “HUH what the fuck is that who’s there i smell Mackerel” like????? oh my fucking god)

amakata “we don’t have enough money for a training camp” miho renting herself and gou a room at a lodge on the beach?????? power move

this goddamn show having a fun ~spooky~ haunted house adventure right after everyone almost fucking Died

haru’s story about his “first love” being about a fucking waterfall igmgkdjkg

rin jogging on the beach the next morning & stopping by the tents like “who r these fuckin dumbasses camping right on the shoreline” & then he turns around and there’s haru & his band of swimming idiots

rin waiting in the hallway at the interhigh in case haru comes by so he can casually get up & have a Cool And Dramatic confrontation w/ him where he brags how he’s gonna beat him in their upcoming race (which, even better, he purposely entered himself at a lower skill level to be able to do while probably his whole team went “uhhhh are u sure abt this lmao we’re kind of trying to be the best here” & hes just like “yeah yeah its fine it’s gonna be so fucking cool just wait”)

haru apparently also having a Rin Sense where he just Feels that rin is there, watching him about to swim (although now that i think about it that bright red hair is probably a fuckin beacon, i bet literally everyone looked over at him the second he stepped out of that doorway- that and the massive aura of Teen Angst surrounding him at all times)

the whole thing with nagisa & rei’s operation at the summer festival to keep haru from seeing rin? first of all is v cute but they get so into it fjdhgkdj fucking dumb cute kids playing secret detective mission texting each other Classified Intel about the location of their targets while also trying to hide it from haru & makoto (who eventually find out bc nagisa is literally the worst liar ever while also already being the most suspect little shit out of all of them by nature)

rei getting so caught up in the detective shit that he ends up following rin out of the festival entirely & into town where the purpose of his pursuit in the first place is irrelevant bc haru’s not gonna suddenly happen upon rin at the elementary school?? rei is such a nosy bitch i love him

rei being such a nosy bitch that he inadvertently fixes the emotional turmoil that has been building between rin & the others unresolved for years

rin texting gou to get rei’s number bc he needs to have a Serious and Dramatic conversation w/ him but he didnt have the chance to exchange contact info the last time they yelled at each other behind the school

rin sitting alone in samezuka’s bus bc they banned him from swimming for being too obsessed w/ haru & he needs somewhere to Sulk

rin finding some random tree outside the swim meet & being like “this reminds me of that tree from elementary school” bc hes a nostalgic bitch like that

haru being able to find rin bc he saw the same tree earlier and went “wait, rin’s a nostalgic bitch, i know Exactly where the fuck he went” & Sure Enough

iwatobi getting themselves disqualified bc they wanted to swim w/ rin in an official race like??? i know it’s an emotional & satisfying moment but miho chewing them out for it afterward is so fucking funny like objectively this team was doing rly well & then suddenly went “u know what, we do what we want, this red guy is ours now” & the judges went “hmm............... no”

in the v last episode when theyre all just sitting in a classroom w/ rin having him pretend to introduce himself as if he were a transfer student like theres absolutely no reason for this, theyre just goofing off together and reconnecting after having lost each other for so many years & it’s so dumb & heartwarming & the perfect way to close off the season & im crying i really do love this show i love these characters so much what a dumb cute goofy heartfelt show aaaaaa free is a treasure

*from the very 1st point: i know there r cultural differences to take into account where it’s probably not as big a deal for makoto to walk in on haru’s bath time in japan as it would be in like, america & the real issue haru takes w/ this happening is that his one little place of refuge in a world w/o water is being breached by this annoyingly persistent guy who not only interrupts his coping time but is actively trying to get him to leave it for “important” things like “going to school” and “not being late” & the extended pause is really him registering this unpleasant situation & trying to decide if it’s worth it to fight for his solitude, ultimately deciding it’s not worth the energy and begrudgingly accepting makoto’s outstretched hand, though he vocalizes his displeasure by rejecting his -chan bc no one who pulls him away from the water is someone he can call a friend, not even his like. actual friend. only friend. either one

anyway i love free bye

#hm i love free hm hmm #retag later #free blogging #i havent done a post like this in a while it's. good #i might do this for s2 too but i remember it less & it's hard to take notes when ur watching w/ someone & cant pause it a bunch #so we'll see
