Y’know, I will never get over the wasted potential of Fitz Vacker.

Like i’ve always thought his character was one of the most interesting but I feel like Shannon switched things up so she could resolve the love triangle (which i’m convinced was unplanned).

Like I love this series and I think it’s well-written for the most part, but Fitz’s disrupted arc will always make me cry.

He had his flaws (we know what they are, we never shut up about them) but he has good characteristics too? Like “We could always use a little more weird in our lives”, wanting to hug it out with Dex and telling him they should be friends???

Like my boy, what happened😭.

Also it makes sense that he wants to confirm to elven traditions ig (like match making), but I just don’t understand why Shannon decided to go down that character path? Like he went to exillum for his friends, people used to talk about him because he disappeared a lot (the guy spent most of his childhood looking for Sophie, he is very much crushed by the fact that she doesn’t like him), he stuck up for his friends in Everblaze even though it made him less popular because he knew they weren’t doing anything wrong.

And I feel like with everything weird about Fitz and his friends the last thing people would care about is matchmaking, it’s like Grady said, for elves power will always be the most important thing.

And Fitz is powerful.

I feel like the matchmaking thing shouldn’t have been the main focus of the fitzphie break up because I feel like Fitz could’ve gotten iver that very easily if Shannon had stayed consistent with his character.

The Fitphie breakup should have been about the whole “Fitz is jealous of Sophie’s powers thing and he doesn’t like that she’s stepping up as a leader because of his arrogance ( a flaw he’s had consistently and makes sense because he’s a Vacker, a family that basically represents the elven world and what people pretend it is, and elves’s main flaw is arrogance, so Fitz’s being arrogance MAKES SENSE).

Why make it about matchmaking😭😭😭.

Idk if anything i said makes sense, i suck at making my thoughts coherent, but I could swear that Fitz is a good character up until it gets in the way of the love triangle.

do you have any total drama (2023) season 2 predictions?

thanks for the ask, anon!

these are all based on the four episodes I've watched and the stuff I've seen circulating tumblr abt the season!

imma split this up to make things easier for everyone-

hopes:

goddammit I need more axel and nichelle screentime pls and tyvm--tumblr has got me shipping them and I can't get out of that hole

but seriously, I hope now that they learned from the mistakes they'd made this season, next season they get far--preferably post-merge

popular take but: CAN CHEMMA FUCKING BREAK UP IN S2?? like emma realizing all this isn't worth it and splitting it off with chase (or, for whatever reason, the other way around--only bc I've seen posts speculating on that happening lmao, or they mutually split it, or what-fucking-ever. I literally do not care how they split or who's the initiator, I just want them split!)

I need more of MK!! I heard she gets booted pretty early :( but I'm hoping in s2, she's back and better than ever!

this is smth I haven't seen a lot when it comes to asks like this, but some solid ripper characterization would be neat--without the fart jokes, might I add. like I saw this post talking abt ripper realizing that his "manly disposition" isn't getting him anywhere and he gets close to certain ppl in the show and have to move past his previous beliefs and embrace his inner soft side that he's repressed.

no but seriously, I don't rlly like ripper all that much rn, so this happening in s2 would be rlly cool to his character!

bisexual emma pls??? and possibly bisexual chase??? idk if fresh will make that happen but a girl can hope, ig lmao

bowie and emma repairing their friendship-

idk I like the idea of a bowie and caleb rivalry bc bowie got caleb voted off, so maybe caleb feels some resentment for that and wants to get even in s2?? and ofc since it's bowie, he's not gonna take that lying down-

need more millie & priya friendship fr

I’ve heard that damien and priya have cute interactions so I hope they get more time to grow??? not strictly as a ship btw but I wouldn’t be opposed to that (my multishipping ass trying to find middle ground here lmao)

I need more damien and scary girl interactions, those two were hilarious

predictions:

I know most of these are my hopes rather than predictions, but what I will say is that there will def be more raj and bowie moments. like that's a no-brainer, Fresh would be pretty dumb not to have that happen

this is more of a combo of a hope and a prediction, but more multi-dimensional characterizations of scary girl, caleb, nichelle, damien, and axel?? none of them got enough screentime to add more to their characters so I'm betting s2 will focus on them...hopefully

chemma breakup--there's no way that ship can be fixed lmao, they're better off not together and--if fresh rlly wants it--with other ppl

bowie's prob gonna make it post-merge but not to the final two again. idk abt priya but I'm hoping it's the same for her too bc I love both of them sm-

I've seen discussions of a potential 'wayne and raj separate teams' arc, and while that would be crushing, I feel like that could happen?? it'd certainly bring forth some sort of tension/drama

these are all that I can think of. maybe once I finish watching the season, I can give a more lengthy list!

Step By Step Season 2 Ideas

If they do another season of Step by Step, I want the plot, side-plot, or even an arc to be about Jeng's family being awful (except for like Jeng's mom, Nan, Jeng's niece, Jaab and maybe a cousin) to Pat and how they deal with it. I mean we've already seen how awful they can be with Jeng's dad and uncle.

Like would Pat try to hide it for Jeng's sake? Would Jeng blow it off as normal for his family? Would it cause issues because of Jeng not defending him? Because let's admit having horrible in-laws is a pretty common thing and I would like to see how they would handle it.

Also if they do there could be a scene of Pat, Ae, Chot being besties and talking/bonding over bad in-laws and Pat bonding with Jeng's mom because she could have gone through the same thing.

Other things I would like if they did a season 2 would be

1.) Jeng and Pat married and their wedding

2.) Handling not working together/finding time for each other

3.) Glimpses not only into them being a couple but their college days or overall past (even into Pat's history with Put because we didn't get that much of their past)

4.) Jeng sort of being adopted and loved by Pat's family (I headcannon that Pat comes from a huge family with lots of aunt, uncles, and cousins)

5.) The fallout of a famous bl star (Put) having a queer relationship on not only on Put and his career but on Pat (We saw that a fan shared his IG handle)

6.) Jeng being afraid that Pat will leave again and them talking about their breakup

7.) Jeng being in his CEO era while also being a head chef and how Pat and him handle the stress from it

8.) A look into Tae's friendship with not only Jeng but Pat, overall a look into their friendships with each other

9.) Also how Pat and Jaab's friendship is affected by not only JengPat's breakup but them dating

10.) Jane and Pat bonding over dating the Attajiranon brothers

11.) Jeng and Pat living together

12.) How the class and age gap affects their relationships

Sorry this is so long. Pls tell me what you guys would like for another season and your headcannons

Lastly, in the aquarium was Put implying that Pat and him grew up similarly or that they grew up together and were maybe childhood friends?

4 and 16!! :)

4: Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

from the letter to nmj in the last chapter of foowd:

I hope you would wish me well. I want to believe that you do, even if what I’ve become is unintelligible to you. All I can hope is that I will succeed in making myself unintelligible for reasons besides doing things that appall you. I still have some good qualities. Some of which you used to bully me about lacking! I’m certainly wiser than I was. More patient, too. I have developed somewhat of a sense of responsibility, and am much more independent and capable. But all of that has been true for years. The newer things… let’s just say that there are fields inside of myself I thought I salted, where things have taken root nonetheless.

this letter was some of the earliest stuff i wrote in the fic, because it was grafted from a scene cut from an earlier (canon era) fic, but it wasn't in letter format then, and it of course shifted a lot to fit this specific story. this paragraph was written much later.

even though this isn't how story structure works, i kind of consider that fic as having three "climaxes"... one being the flop proposal/sangcheng breakup, one being the eleventh-hour sangcheng makeup, but in between them is the part where nhs writes the letters... this one feels like the real climax of the fic in some ways. not in terms of tension but like. emotional weightiness rating????? nhs just could not have gone on to say "fuck it, i want to be with the person i love even if it means i can't fake my death and go into the self-imposed exile for the rest of my days that is the only way i've been able to conceptualize/justify quitting my job and taking the L permanently on the person i was supposed to be," if she hadn't come to some degree of peace with the fact that she'll never know what nmj would have made of these choices. if it feels like a betrayal of family/sect/etc, that all gets symbolically fixed into grief and guilt about specifically nmj, and that's the real barrier here--not anyone else in the world at large, really. but it felt like a very delicate needle to thread because i emphatically didn't want nhs' arc re: her family/nmj to come across like "realizing that your family sucks and having a victorious fuck-you-guys-i'm-out moment," because that would be severely out of character and also the nies' problem is not Bad People but intergenerational dysfunction and reverberating tragedy. so "i love you and always wanted to make you proud and am having to accept the risk that i wouldn't, because i have to believe that you loved me and wanted me to be happy more than you wanted me to be the person i should have been"--not specific to gender but everything else, of course--was the point i needed nhs to reach. which ig i decided was going to happen when she woke up at 5am to write some emotionally raw lettermail a few hours after breaking up with the guy she's actively in love with and then having a total meltdown about it.

the story having an epistolary motif was partly because i'd early on thought that the idea of sangcheng doing ye olde racy texting was funny and charming, but also i knew that the fic was not going to work unless there were opportunities for huaisang's real thoughts and feelings to occasionally surface through the tides of bullshit, and that was easier to do through in-universe writing than either dialogue or pov narration. and i couldn't come up with a less clunky way to get some overt closure/finality over the nmj stuff, but needed to, because it was like such a looming but intangible part of the story.

so anyway. um i made myself cry typing up this blurb about my own fanfiction which goes to show why i'm so proud of this bit in particular... because regardless of whether it worked for anyone else, it has consistently gotten me very emotional to think about/work on so i'm getting what EYE wanted out of it!!!!

16: Tried anything new with your writing lately? (style, POV, genre, fandom?)

lots of things, actually…

it's not that "writing an unreliable narrator/POV character" is new to me but something i'm messing around with on beefleaf #2 aka The Big One is shi qingxuan (who is the POV character) like… being a very active presence in the story As A Story. you know this post?

like that.

who's the audience? shi wudu? he xuan? both/neither? us? who knows!!!!! we'll see if that sensibility makes it into the final product but i'm enjoying playing around with it for now. it compels me because sqx, unlike most characters people think of as "unreliable narrators," is not manipulative in a meaningful way. they're not TRYING to lie to you. it's just... you know. hard to look things in the face sometimes, right?

the other thing that sticks out is that i've got not one but two wips at the moment that deal with sexual violence in some way, which i've shied away from in the past because of worrying that people would be weird about it, but i feel strongly that these are at least, like, the kernels of good ideas? we'll see how they fare in my execution lol. but also, like, xie lian's character arc is, among other things, About Sexual Autonomy And Violence in a blatant and textual manner so this doesn't feel particularly outre in comparison (they're both beefleaf but you know. operating in the same ballpark. shi qingxuan and he xuan both have certain obvious parallelismssnhdsm with xie lian so it's all In Conversation imo.)

[vwritesawholelothm]

Oh btw I saw you had a P&F fic and I wanted you to consider my two brainrot ships;

Montycarl and Vanesstacy

So Monty Monogram and Vanessa Dpofenshmirtz dating was easily one of my favorite arcs in the show, but I also wasn't too upset that their relationship ended, since it was kinda built not to last in the first place and we see that in their first date episode.

It also seems like they kinda know and acknowledge that, they're just dating for fun and don't have any intention of becoming too serious with each other.

I think that's also why the breakup is so unceremonious that it doesn't even happen on screen, it was just healthy and mutual.

So, why ship him with Carl and her with Stacy?

Let's start with Vanesstacy, because these two are absolute certified badasses! They know what they want, they go after it confidently, and they've both had to deal with Candace's nonsense.

During one of the best Monessa episodes which was a Halloween special, Stacy is one of the many scarlet pimpernels at the party and covers for the couple -

By dancing with Vanessa.

I mean come on that writes itself! Also worth noting that in this scene when Major Monogram approaches them, Stacy recognizes him, and then you remember that oh yeah -

Stacy learned the truth about Perry and has been keeping it secret from her best friend and her family for several episodes now.

And honestly that must be draining and kinda stressful, I mean if only she had a peer who also knew the secret and wasn't as close to the Flynn-Fletchers so they could talk about OWCA and Perry specifically...

Oh wait.

So yeah, this ship is absolutely wonderful.

As for Montycarl, the show actually does a better show making a case for them than I ever could.

They tease each other and bicker like people with a history already, their dynamic is funny as hell with Monty being his dad's golden child when that kind of attention is the last thing he wants and Carl having so much stake put into seeing Major as a father figure that he organizes a whole night to attempt to get Monogram to thank him, and enlists Monty's help to do so.

And you know what's more amazing? Monty agrees! Sure we're told it's because Carl is leveraging his knowledge of his relationship with Vanessa over him but throughout the episode we can tell that his father's lack of acknowledgment towards Carl really bothers Monty.

Monty hasn't been around long enough to interact much with a lot of characters, but Carl is easily a character he interacts with often, and every time they do there's some kind of chemistry.

Also Carl wants so badly to be Major's son and if he just married Monty he'd be his son in law so like...

Anyway yeah, I fucking love both these ships and their wonderful dynamics.

That's all.

I kept this in my inbox as a prompt ig? Even tho it's mostly just a ship pitch lol. But yes, I've written some Vanesstacy and Montycarl!

Monty/Carl link:

Vanessa/Stacy link:

Those should take you to whatever fics I have tagged with each ship, and hopefully it'll remain consistent as I write more of them in the future!

[taruruchi]

HELLO HI may i ask for your opinion onnnn albedo x traveler (doesn't matter which one), ace x deuce and hiyori x jun? :D i also wanted to ask about some dr ships but if i remember correctly you don't know some of the games watch me send you komahina /j

rq lemme show you my screen rn bc it's so funny it's so broken

okay anyways HELLO yes i didn't watch some games but i did watch the main(?) three but lack some minor details ig? BUT I DO KNOW ABOUT KOMAHINA AND . no

albedo x traveler (me actually /j)

i don't know? like in my head there'd be this whole fic for them and it'd be complicated, that's why i picked the facebook status thing (also i'm writing a fic for him rn so i might be swayed by that but shhh) and i suppose? there might be moments they're cute? but i don't ship the traveler with anyone so!!

ace x deuce

now this i have mixed feelings about. there are times when they'd be cute together but at the same time i really like just seeing them as friends? if they did have a romantic story, i 100% bet it'd be complicated. in canon they. they're very dumb (affectionate) and i love them very much but i can't forget that one part in the pomefiore chapter. yk. that was kind of their breakup arc (/j). and DEUCE DESERVES BETTER!! ACE (wrestling emoji)

hiyori x jun

again, it's complicated... i love them and i totally get the ship, yet sometimes while i read a bit of the story i went "huh... do people really like this ship?" so it's like ??? but!! they can be cute too!! and at one point i was shipping eden so like . yeah

[tuiyla]

hi new anon here :) i find it somewhat frustrating with this whole tatum thing that most people who are pointing out that tatum was s1 leighton dont see how it was just poorly executed. i think they couldve easily dragged it out to s3 instead of abruptly ending it the way they did. a lot of the problem they have with the last 2 episodes could easily be fixed by dragging it out to next season. it felt as though s2 had two halves - s2A being ep 1 to 8 and then s2B being 9 & 10. it's almost like they had this plan and wrote out 1 to 8 before realising "ah shit, we have 2 eps left" and crammed everything in there. that or they feared they wouldnt be renewed and just shoved everything in so they could secure one.

they spent so much time building tatum and jackson only to abruptly write both off either in a 5 second break up scene or in tatum's case, offscreen. and the opposite is true for kimberly/canaan. they spent so much time for jackson and whitney trying to move on that it felt like they didnt do enough to solidify kimberly/canaan's feelings? i dont know why they couldnt just try to keep jackson on first, show that kimberly started having feelings and having canaan reciprocate before pushing for the kiss. have whitney be unaware but rejected by canaan at the end and show her devastated as her cliffhanger and kimberly's be being with jackson but thinking of canaan.

the same with tatum and leighton - bringing leighton back to the women's centre and the return of alicia (preferably having leighton have bumped into ginger or tova earlier) and then have her fight with tatum blow up outside tatum's last scene or have tatum say something 10x worse and leighton realising its not tatum she wants to be with and its alicia. and even if they wanted to write tatum off, couldnt they wait before putting alicia and leighton back together? show them wanting it but not immediately so they actually end up talking about what happened in s1.

it is such a shame because i feel like they couldve easily fixed this and have a much better coherent season with better response had they just made certain tweaks like showing leighton missing the women's centre, planting the kimberly/canaan more and more obviously etc. i love the show and i really dont mind how the relationships pan out (i just love the main 4 fully), but they failed at what they tried to do. unless all they wanted was how outraged almost everyone has become.

(im not sure if youre still taking asks on this, but if you dont wish to answer, it's ok :) just wanted to let the thoughts out)

Hey Anon! I've said most of what I wanted about the TSLOCG finale but I welcome others' thoughts so no worries.

And you've pretty much summed up so much of what I also thought about the last two episodes. I guess you could "justify" Leighton's speedrun by saying that a season 3 wasn't guaranteed and they wanted to wrap up at least one of the main four's arcs neatly, but that would sound like such a lame excuse to me. Like you say, what makes this extra frustrating is that the Leightum breakup and Leighton's general development didn't need much to have landed much better. Literally if only they didn't write eps 9 and 10 in such a way that feels so disconnected from the rest of the season. Mainly for Leighton, but to a degree for Kim and Whitney too. That "oh shit we only have two eps" feeling is the exact one I also got from watching the finale.

God, I just really don't see why we didn't get anything from the women's center or from Leighton's social justice development before episode 9. And I don't see the logic behind how Tatum was written if that's what they were going for all along. Just does not land. And I vibe with your (second to) last paragraph so much as well because I still do love this show and these girls, and I don't much mind the relationships atm. I just want Leighton to be happy so be that with Alicia ig and I don't inherently have a problem with Canaan and Whitney, it just feels like it was only for the sake of love triangle drama. And since fixing it would have seemingly been so easy, it is frustrating. Obviously it's easy for us to be smarter than the writers now that we're seeing the finished product but I'm sorry, if I was a professional screenwriter getting paid to craft stories and characters I simply would want to make sure huge character moments have weight behind them. Rip to them I guess haha. I am a bit bummed to represent the outraged camp, trust me I'd rather I didn't have to, but I think it's important to emphasize that the show is still good and more than deserving of a season 3. I'm still holding the show to high standards moving forward, I'm mostly just outraged that I couldn't be as proud of Leighton in episode 10 as I should have been because I felt cheated out of an actual arc.

[renegadeer]

 /gonna asssign every song on good news for people who like bad news sorry for being cringe </3

horn intro is literally just a horn intro it goes on for like 8 seconds and then ends its not a song. ill give it to uh box ig lol

world at large is suitcasecore. sorry. i like the lyrics

i know that starting over’s not what life’s about / my thoughts were so loud i couldnt hear my mouth

and also the uh. lots of bugs and stuff and sillys. and the tone of the whole thing. it is a nice song <3 the most mellow one on the list

float on is lightbulbcore its the most popular modest mouse song by far and its just very lightbulb core

it is funny silly. bout how bad things will happen and you cannot stop them but you all float on alright <3 and it is the prequel to lampshades on fire which is on another album but also lightbulb coded.. but for angstier reasons yum

OCEAN BREATHES salty is like my second favorite song on this album. and it is so marshmallow coded

your body may be gone im gonna carry it in / in my head, in my heart, in my soul

. then it goes onto nihilism. and the uh line “you get away from me” has two meanings in which one of the meanings is the singer pushing the dead person away from them and the other meaning is the singer not understanding why they did those things and. yipee marshcoded sorry. 

dig your grave is like a guitar and then 4 lines whispered 

. its a little bit mephone4 . its a precursor to the next song and that one is so mephone4

bury me with it is mephone4 coded. hehe . his themes in season 3 of refusing to let go

well the suit got tight and it split at the seams / but i kept it out of habit and i kept it real clean / but if its getting faded if its running out of thread / could you do this for me my friend? then it goes onto the chorus which is the title of the song <3. and its a fun song . mid song but its stil l got the

Dance hall

half the lyrics are im gonna dance all dance all every day and the other half are illusions to unhealthy coping mechanisms so i think i can give this one to lightbulb safely <3

bukowski <3 is my favorite song on this album and its about comparing the struggles over everyday people to god/authorities nd basically saying that authority figures  gotta be just as shitty as everyone else if theyre all created in his image. and its 

if god controls the land and disease / and keeps a watchful eye on me / if hes even so high and mighty / then my problems that i cant see / god, who'd wanna be such a control freak

religious and father symbolism in a lot of it. mephone4 again

anyways thats the last mephone4 song. the next song is That Devil's workday and its about NIHILISM but in the opposite direction of ocean breathes salty! if the shitty things you do barely matter then you keep on doing em! and thats taco! singer thinks they are beyond redeption and therefore doubles down on the shit they do! tacocore

The view is next and its pickle.

:) and i adore this song for its reoccurring theme of betrayal and hoping the Worst for the person who did . despite missing them and yipee

satin in a coffin is fun.

same theme of revenge but angrier and far less forlorn and. thumbs up emoji sorry. cant describe it this album has too many songs

Interlude (Milo) has no words. moving on

blame it on the tetons is softer and its also about blaming your personal apathy and emotional disengagement because all your attempts seem fruitless and i think thats </3 blueberry season 3 episode 10 sorrryyyy. she does blame it on the tetons.

black cadillacs is SO SUITCASE actually sorryy

alliance breakup arc core.

. actualky hold on im gonna obsess over this song all week i think dammit give me a bit to actually

One Chance

feels very paintbrushcoded :)

they care so much but they dont know how to go about Fixing things without hurting others in the process and they are fucking up. soo much and they decide its best to quit and. :)

The Good times are killing me

is aboht unhealthy coping mechanisms again and also the upbeat tune and the nihilism hidden under the bouncy guitar is just lightbulb coded. and also the lyrics is quite literally the Good Times are killing me. lightbulb song

[mayclair]

the longer hsmtmts hiatus goes the more and more i start to hate that show

Pairing: house x reader (unrequited)

Warnings: angst, unrequited love(?), house being horrible at coping, Cancer scare, bad grammar and punctuation, badly explained medical stuff, Spoilers for house md Season 7 episode 15

A/N: there’s a serious lack of house md fan fiction so I’m going to throw in some of mine, hope you like it. Also, i don’t know the specific time of when the episodes take place so I’m just going to make some guesses.

———————-

March 7th 10:00pm

You, the head of ER was sitting in a bistro with your friend Lisa cuddy, dean of medicine while she was talking about how she found blood in her urine this morning.

Being a good friend, you were obviously concerned, and she was grateful that you were there for her.

There were times that you were envious of her, like her success or the fact she is dating your long-time crush, house. But you two had a bond that would make it feel really difficult to be in a world without each other.

She told you that she is going to get an ultrasound tomorrow to see if she has a tumor.

“…please, promise me that if anything happens to me, you will take care of Rachel for me.” She said with a slightly shaky voice.

You replied in a comforting tone that “Lisa, you’re a strong woman, I’m sure it’s nothing to serious, just relax.”

“Well I hope so, thank you by the way” cuddy replied

March 8th 1:00pm

You were standing at the front desk of the hospital as you notice cuddy passing by so you decided to ask her about her appointment.

“So…how was the ultrasound?” You asked nervously. “...there’s a mass in my kidney”

“What?!..I mean, it could be benign so there’s no need to panic..”

“Yeah, I know, but I still need to make sure that everything is ready just in case I-“

You cut her off and said “You won’t, tell me you won’t”

“I’m a single mom, I need to make sure everything is fine even after I’m gone.” She replied tiredly.

“Fine, but I’m sure it’s nothing and that you’ll get through this” you said as you calmed down.

“When’s your biopsy?”

“Tomorrow”

March 9th 2:30pm

Cuddy was having her biopsy and you really wanted to accompany her but, the ER was overflowing with patients from two busses full of people crashing into each other so, you were completely occupied.

When the mess in the ER finally died down, you went to look for cuddy and as you finally found her, she told you that her biopsy was inconclusive so the mass in her kidney has to be removed for the doctors to know what it is.

“Shit man, hey Lisa, I want you to know that I’m always here for you alright?”

“I’ll keep that in mind and also, thank you I really appreciate it”

“No problem”

5:00pm

You were sitting by cuddy’s bed as you two were talking about random topics just to pass the time.

It felt almost surreal seeing your best friend in a hospital bed, preparing for surgery after you’ve seen so many people die in the same situation. You were truly scared for her and as you saw house step into the room, you left to give them some privacy.

When cuddy came safely out of surgery, you were over the moon that your best friend was safe.

March 11th 1:45pm

Everything was fine two days ago, cuddy was happy, house was happy and everything seemed to be going smoothly. But luck didn’t really seem to follow Princeton Plainsboro, since its most famous doctor is back to taking drugs in front of patients and harassing the dean of medicine.

Your best friend also seems to have distanced herself from everyone so you assumed that they broke up but you were still so confused about why they did that because they seemed just so happy.

You debated if you should confront cuddy about this but in the end, you decided against it because she just seems to want to be left alone.

March 15th 2:15pm

Nothing is right.

Work had become a nightmare because you had to assist house’s team on a case since house was having his breakup arc and marring strangers just to piss off Cuddy.

You were tired of his shenanigans so you decided to just ignore him and focus on your work. But you were never really the lucky type because while you were charting down your notes, house walked towards you and asked.

“Hey, doc do you wanna get a drink?”

“Wait what?” You answered confusedly.

He then answered with “It’s not rocket science, I’m just asking if you want to get a drink with me.”

You gave him a bitter chuckle and said “sorry house, but I don’t go out with married men.”

“what, I can’t get a drink with a coworker now? That’s just sad” he replied with a fake pout on his face. “And plus, you and I both know that, this marriage is a sham.”

“Well I’m sorry if I don’t want to go out with a coworker who ignores me 24/7 until they get broken up with by my friend” you replied sarcastically. You then continued with “I’m not going to be your next little scheme to piss off Cuddy with, but hey bonus points for being clever, ex’s friend? Never would of thought of that.”

“Oh c’mon, how could I do something like that to dear old Cuddy, and it can’t be that tough to get a drink-“

“I love you alright?” You cut him off again.

It felt irrational to get mad at something this small, but for some reason this entire interaction was pissing you off and you don’t care if house was just trying to make you mad.

“I have loved you, for WAY to long and my brain has somehow rationalized that, but this is a problem and if you even think that I’m stupid enough to play along and hurt everyone that involuntarily got involved with this then maybe you should rethink your strategy.” After yelling at house you just walked away while looking at everything that might just make this hurt less as he just stood there, not knowing what to say after that.

Even with the lump growing in your throat, you knew you did the right thing because even if he did truly like you, you knew that he is still hung up about Cuddy and you know that if you were to get involved with him, you would be taking advantage of everything your friend and her ex have gone through.

Yeah I really don’t know about this one, not one of my proudest.

But I still hope you like it

Buh bye!

Okay it's like 720am now and I'm exhausted, but like. Hm. Many feelings about the way this series ended. I did enjoy some bits obviously, but I really think the time skip was too long, and the fake not dating thing a little bit completely the antithesis of everything Pat and Pran fought for over the course of the entire series? (even if ig that's still better than them just breaking up completely)

Like what was the point of revealing that the whole relationship is basically an open secret? That just means that these parents are being even worse? they literally know that their children are in love and that hiding is not something they would do by choice, and yet they continue the charade and just don't acknowledge it? Why? What's the reason??

From a narrative standpoint the whole episode felt kind of messy and bloated or like it was focusing a bit too much on stuff that wasn't really important to anyone's character progression or the plot resolution? The time skip, drawn out secret relationship reveal plotline had a very contrived feeling to it, and I don't like it. Honestly, it felt like the only purpose it served was to drag the drama of the fake breakup out on purpose for a cheap surprise. Which. Is not great for obvious reasons.

Also, you're telling me that an entire 4 years goes by and still nothing about their situation has changed at all? Then what was the point of showing us them 4 years later? Why not 4 months or 4 weeks if it'll literally have the same effect on the narrative progression, which is none? If they were going to time skip it should have been to illustrate something like 'after a while of watching their kids be sad, the parents come to a tentative truce for the sake of their children even if they'll never really get along' or whatever. That would at least make sense and contribute to the story??? Especially if they were planning on hinting that things are getting better for them anyways?

Consequently, their narrative arcs and character progression feel almost....unfinished in a way now, bc they were still unable to love honestly and openly even after all that. The series had such an interesting build up and set up of character growth and then it just... didn't really pay off the way they set it up? and yet it's still framed as the ultimate progression of their growth as characters and a happily ever after? Idk, just feels not quite resolved to me. Maybe it was intentionally left open like that, idk.

So, yeah. I enjoyed this series, but hm. This ending. I have some issues with it.

uhhH Beyblade for the fandom ask game

The first character I first fell in love with: ken midori!! i still love pretty much everything about this character (/p ofc), and he (along with daina) was one of the main reasons i stuck with the show early on. he had a really interesting character arc and i’m like 99% sure Middle School Me cried when he left. still can’t believe they pretty much completely got rid of him after season 1 was over, tho, smh my head ://

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: ruwei was Just Some Guy until i got a few more episodes in and realized his facial expressions and mannerisms are super similar to someone i know irl (who also happens to be a shortish violent individual with long braided hair and a bias towards birds n the color blue). now he’s more than just some guy. he’s the SAME flavor of just some guy as one of my oldest and closest friends :)

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: idk? i like a lot of the characters in some way or another. i don’t like lui as much as a lot of other people, though i don’t hate him either. and a lot of the protags (except drum) were Not Really My Faves ig.

The character I love that everyone else hates: bro idek who‘s super hated that i Also Like. who do you people even collectively agree to hate aside from like ashtem

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: i am neither a coward nor a fool. i have a list of faves that i continually add to.

The character I want to be like: listen. i think this happened subconsciously, but my fashion sense nowadays is basically what would happen if you put shuu and xhaka’s wardrobes in the same closet. i have to blame beyburst for every outfit and color scheme i have ever thrown together so i don’t have to live knowing it was a choice made free of outside influence 💔😔🤙

The character I’d slap: yugo nansui (derogatory (affectionate)). i want to fight him in a parking lot but that parking lot has to be in front of a cafe so i can take him there afterward. the duality of mankind.

A pairing that I love: i literally have not shipped anything since like 2016, and even then, i had no concrete pairings. it was more of a “haha what if this happened? let’s give it some thought *moves on immediately after*” so i don’t really think i’m well equipped to answer this lol

A pairing that I despise: shuvalt. i do not care for shuvalt at all and have never really seen that being something that works out. this is coming from my experience as That Guy Everyone Talks To When They Have Relationship Issues And, Later, Need Someone To Talk Them Through Their Breakup.

anyways yeah that‘s about it! thanks for the ask lol

Can we just talk about the ending of KawoShin open discuss. *sort of spoilerish*

I feel like I’m the only one who’s like reallly disappointed LMFAO--ya’ll there’s so much “canon” alternative universe and merchandise for Kawoshin in Evangelion that it kind of makes me upset to realise this couple just went down the drain. Yeah, I can see how people were like, “Kaworu’s toxic” or “Kaworu has a hero complex for Shinji” to which I say are valid points. But the toxic thing I feel like can also be applied to pretty much everyone around Shinji tbh, except for Rei. I did NOT, like Asuka at all but I really love her character though, and I felt for her a lot throughout the series.

I did not ship them either because honestly, Shinji and Asuka seemed better off playing the sibling dynamic instead of trying to play bf/gf which honestly is kind of forced by their living situation. Also since they’re in a similar disposition non existent father and dead mother, you’d imagine they would rely on each other for emotional comfort. Though Asuka—her personality I feel like she can’t differentiate between familial love and romantic love and the affection she wants is a bit of both. But, her character tries to be “mature”; she wants romantic love more and does this through sexual means and romantic gestures e.g. like kissing. One of my friends told me that you can’t stay friends as a boy and a girl cause eventually you catch feelings. Which I say is kinda dumb cause I have a lot of male friends, and I definitely don’t harbour those feelings, but I guess it’s a common phenomena.

I think this is what happens in this case, of Asuka and Shinji. Even after rejection of instrumentality they actually are depicted as childhood friends. But knowing how they both were before to each other, it was not good tbh. Also to mention the choking like thrice— bro if anything, this showcases a really abusive relationship and I think this outstretches the idea of their character tropes. Which I firmly stand by saying they’re superficial to each other. AsuShin were never really there for each other and are using each other in a forced situation. However, you can’t deny that they didn’t at some point catch feels, also Shinji is pretty consistent how he still cares about everyone around him. Which I really like how they add that to his character because it reminiscent of Yui, because you see a duality of both his parents personality in Shinji throughout the series—it’s a really nice touch. But bruh, if we gonna talk about that coma scene—I’m out LOL.

Thoughhhh, she is a true definition of best girl I really like her arc, fighting drive, and her skills as an Eva pilot 😭💗--but bruh she’s still a toxic and sometimes annoying tsundere trope, but still she’s 14 what can you do. So I feel like Kensuke and Asuka are actually a pretty good combo, cause he’s always been pretty mature even without parents. Also Asuka was into older guys, so I guess this is a win win?? Also Rei and Shinji, I honestly cannot get my head around it cause that’s pretty much his mom—so in a way that’s like either his half-sister or mom-ish clone?? Idk but Yui is definitely the donor LOL.

Kaworu and Shinji I felt like brought a bunch of things out of each other. I don’t know which timeline begins first, but I’d like to think the manga, the anime (plus its movies), and then to the rebuild series. Because I think that order is kind of pivotal to observing Kaworu’s character development from being a person who’s trying to understand human feelings to then the kinder person we see in the final series. You can tell how he’s changed and he knows Shinji a lot more as well as being considerate to him e.g. giving him personal space or letting him work at his own pace. Also that “we’ll meet again.” Is an obvious nod to how he’s done this before.

His literal story in every timeline is always romantic LOL, like bruh I can’t remember which game it was but basically a bad ending of Kawoshin route is that you reject Kaworu and he starts the third impact 🤡. Also I don’t know why but I started to see a weird dynamic between those two, in the manga their interactions reminded me of Asuka and Shinji—which Shinji is the tsundere Asuka here. I don’t know if this is relevant but the older character relative to the character they’re with seems to play off a mature vs a childish person trope. Asuka is younger than Shinji and Shinji is actually younger than Kaworu. Then again I could be overseeing this but istg manga Kaworu and Shinji mirror the whole Asushin dynamic. Like he’s seriously agressive against Kaworu, then after killing him he admits liking him. 🤡 I don’t know which is funnier no homo Shinji, homophobe shinji, or just closet Shinji who needs to realise sexuality is a spectrum so he could’ve idk—come out as bisexual, but whatever manga Shinji lol that timeline is over.

Anyways the development of these two is real and I think the rebuild timeline shows them at their best bringing their own personage out from each other like how they both enjoy music together--WHICH I’M SO SAD WE NEVER GET TO SEE THAT CELLO AGAIN. Then there’s those feelings of humanity, love, kindness, etc. Which yeah an angel could represent those things, but Kaworu is still his own person, self-aware of a cycle and if you think about how he initially was there to USE Shinji, but ultimately turned on that plan set by SEELE because he loved Shinji (and a bunch of other things like him showing Kaworu humanity). I also can see the argument, how “ideal” Kaworu is to Shinji, but he’s more self aware of the time he has before he KNOWS he’ll die and knows how to act for himself in that duration to make the most of it. All with Shinji. At some point, I think he fell in love with Shinji tho I don’t know where it began tbh—considering that all those alternate universes do exist. Kaworu does romantically love Shinji--so, in some universe they both reciprocate their feelings to each other. 

In the last movie during that convo with Shinji. Like bREH it’s so emotionally moving because Kaworu remembers ALLLLL the timelines and how he’s been with Shinji and later Shinji himself recalls the events too. Where they show the scene from the manga and anime. Kaworu cries after being set free from the EVA cycle. Which, I definitely understood what he meant by him saying “it’ll be lonely” and how Shinji changed or that he’s actually different this time.

Either way, Shinji did right by him because it’s always Kaworu who has the purpose of “trying to save Shinji” but it always ends up the same. I thought that was really moving because Shinji tells Kaworu he’s gonna let him live a life for himself for once and he wants the same for everyone as well. Which was honestly so meaningful cause I think Kaworu’s character and like Rei too when they start to realise how to “live” like a person and not another puppet it’s truly liberating. Another thing I forgot, bruh Kaworu calls Gendo his father and ngl I feel like this is kind of a weird lore situation because I for sure don’t think he’s the donor. I think he calls him that as an insult because he knows Gendo’s whole doing and relative to Shinji—I kind of see it as a joke LOL. Like it’s equivalent to saying, “daddy chill”, or “hey look it’s daddy and his plans to end the world” also I kind of like to think of it as a father in law thing cause you know, Kawoshin *winks amirite*

The ending, I’m honestly hoping is just an open ending because it gives everything an actual start of their adult lives not being dictated by extraterrestrial forces. Though, I’m kind of wondering if the world doesn’t have EVAs does that still mean everyone else still has the same backstory, and do they remember? Maybe Mari really is just a coworker lmfao, and there’s still a chance for Kaworu and Shinji cause ngl, they did have a convo (presumably from the spoilers) about still remaining close afterwards and that stare at the ending seems very hopeful.

I call bs from Anno saying, “oh Shinji is based off him and Mari off of his wife”, like honestly any OCs made theres always some part of yourself made into that character. Which is probably why a lot of people relate to the characters in EVA because they’re based off real things (e.g. those war machines characters are named after and people around them). I think why Kaworu and Rei are together at the end, is bc they’re very much the same. They’re mass produced dolls—which oddly enough that’s the case for all the children except they don’t recall the loop. Kind of funny also how both Kaworu and Rei became farmers lmfao so ig it runs in the family (yes that’s right I like the idea that they’re siblings it was always noted that they’re like “the same”).

Another thing, i think why the rebuild really did well for Kawoshin and in my opinion canonised it—the convo with elder Ryoji Kaji (Misato’s baby daddy) that there was a time he felt incredibly lonely and depressed thinking Misato didn’t love him and so he started looking out for himself. So self love and found himself a hobby in farming which he suggests to Kaworu—basically saying he might feel like Shinji doesn’t love him but he’s gotta remember to take care of himself. if I go thru a breakup ill feel like it’s the end of the world but Kaji says y’a gotta self love broe and take care yo self gad dam fam 😭 💗.

Though, that look at the end from Shinji to Kaworu—I’d like to believe there is still hope that one day when they’re a bit stable in their adult lives, they’ll run into each other.

[tehohaews]

Hi :-) I read your tags to my post <3 I think (dread) what will happen is this: Teh will get everything he ever wanted: the brilliant career as an actor AND he will get Jai, the boyfriend who wants the same things Teh wants and who understands him in a way Oh-aew doesnt (barf). The show has spent most time this season on building up Tehjai and I think they believe this is the new grand love story we're supposed to root for (thus the longing looks between them). We'll get a final conversation between Teh and Oh-aew after the next time jump where Oh says that Teh really is better off with Jai and should totally fight for him. Oh-aew himself will get an office job which is the final image we'll see of him. No love story for him obviously. I honestly don't see any other way this season could end...

I had more to say in the tags of that post but i reached the tag limit 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️. Anyway i keep remembering what oab said about his role that "Jai is a character that is there to test ohaew and teh's love for each other" so idk i dont see a tehjai endgame cause of that. But tbh yeah they really spent more time developing tehjai than they spent it on showing teh's and ohaew's relationship. But idk i dont see jai choosing teh cause jai has high ambitions and he doesnt want to be tied down with someone (hence why he left james in the first place and omg bitch even had the audacity to mourn why james didnt come to his play). So in ep5 unless Teh is hugely successful or smth i dont see Jai choosing him, but if Teh really is HUGELY successful you bet Jai will be the first person who'll come running lol. And i dont think Teh will be HUGELY successful so i dont see a tehjai endgame + oab's words. So my prediction for ep5 is that there will be a timejump of one year (as much as i want it to be 10 years, they said it was a story spanning 4-5 years? So yeah 😩). Ohaew, my son, the loml, my sunshine, is doing amazing in life and got a nice job and is living his dreams 🥺💞💞 when one day he has to work on this project with Teh. And like Oh Aew might be the one whose trying to be professional and out some distance and Teh is just like bestie its been a while i miss you lets grab a bite and my son agrees. So in the talk Teh is like i have grown™ and have changed™ and im sorry™ for everything (itsay ep1 ending 😚) and ohaew might be like i m okay with being friends again but idk if i can be more than that (itsay ep1 ending again 😚) and then they might leave it at that AN OPEN ENDING that's what im saying lol. And they might show us a few of their moments later like yeah besties something will happen between them later lol. Idk to me that's the only route this could take cause ik this is nadao but i really dont think (after my ambulance) they'll completely disband (lol) tehohaew. But the real thing I'm worried about is that they'll not give Teh the redemption arc cause if ep4 was supposed to make me feel 1% for him im sorry it didnt work. I dont buy that he is remorseful even when he went to Q's to apologise to oh. He did it cause he has no one now and like i said earlier, if jai reciprocated his feelings, ohaew would've been a passing thought. The line "i never thought you’d break up with me" was so fucking stupid like yeah I'll go and kiss other people behind your back but i wont break up with you 🥰🥰. And imo they tried to victimize teh by showing how lonely and miserable he was (also there's this clip linetv released where teh had a convo with his mom and he was like mai i got the role but im sad). So yeah teh's redemption arc might not even happen they'll just throw it under the rug with a time jump. If they did the breakup earlier in the ep then they could have showed us more of teh's suffering (🥰) and make him realize his guilt but yeah ig tehjai longing scenes are more important 🥰🥰
