Part. 2 Part. 3 Part. 4

"Polly?" You called the woman while entering her house, to which you had the front door keys. Looking around at the familiar place, you realized there was only one light up at that time of the night. It was the living room's. 

Walking in that direction, you entered the room and your eyes came fo fall upon Michael, who was sitting at the wooden table near the fireplace, smoking while his eyes were focused on the carpet and he did a thing you had seen your friend Tommy do a few times. The french inhale, the act of putting the smoke you produced inside your body. It made you instinctively look at Michael's lips as the smoke disappeared through them and you couldn't deny, that it was a sexy thing to watch. 

"She's not here" Michael raised his eyes until yours and for a moment, you two just looked at each other.

The truth was, you liked to look at Michael. Just look at him. Admire his hair, his jaw, the way his muscles tensed under his shirts when he was worried or had something bothering him. He was a beautiful man, you always said to yourself when you found yourself staring too intensely at him. But he's off limits, you had to remind right away after. When you accepted Tommy's offer and started to work for the Shelby's, becoming a Peaky Blinder, you made a promise to yourself that you wouldn't get involved with no one in that family. You loved all of them like you were a Shelby yourself, but the thought of getting romantically involved with those people made you shiver. They were always in danger, fighting against an enemy. The thought of losing the person you loved the most, would probably destroy you. So no, the best to do was stay away from that kind of relationship.

And that plan did just fine for a few years. You considered Arthur, John, Tommy and Finn your brothers and never desired any of them. But then, Michael Gray came along and it all changed. He was just too much. Too much for you to handle without falling for him. The way he smiled and would occasionally laugh while with John, the way he seemed interested in bussiness and willing to help his cousins in whatever they needed. He had never showed you interest or any kind of signs that would indicate that he wanted you too, but a girl could dream. And that was what you did whenever you were around him. 

"Well, I'll have to come back tomorrow then. Good night, Michael" You turned around and was decided to walk away, when he made you stop with his deep voice, that came to surface again and entered your ears like the sweetest melody you've ever heard. 

"Is everything ok, (Y/N)?" Turning back to stare at him, you saw that he was examining your expression for something to be wrong, like he had noticed that you were more agitated then usual. But he couldn't have noticed that, you thought with a sight. He doesn't even pay attention to you. 

And for as sad as it would be for you to admit, it was true. Of course, he had never ignored you. If you talked to him or he had to speak with you about bussiness he would do it, sometimes would even give you a small smile or throw you a glance from across the room in a meeting, but he never started a conversation. Never came to drink with you at The Garisson even when all the other boys did. It was like he didn't want to be around you, and you accepted that. You kept your distance, like you were supposed to do. But now you were alone in a house with him like you had never been before, and you could feel your legs go weaker just at the thought of that. 

"Yes" You said probably too quickly, because the look on his face only got more intrigued. "I just came to...ahn, to..." You tried to think fast about an excuse for being there, but your mind went blank. It was like you couldn't think when he was staring at you like that. Like you were his only focus and he had only you in his mind. 

"You're lying to me" He stated to himself, a look in his eyes that you had never seen before. It was almost like he was angry at the thought of you lying to him. With only a movement of his hand, he threw his cigar on a cinder-box that was on the table and got up, walking straight to you. When he stopped, only a few centimeters away from you, you saw that it wasn't anger in his eyes. It was sadness. He looked more hurt than you had ever seen. "You never stumble or hesitate to talk about stuff. I've seen you multiple times with Jon and Tommy. You say things right away to them. Why are you lying to me?"

You had to repress a gasp when you heard those words and saw the expression on his face. He looked devastated, and you didn't know what to do, how to act. You had just hurt the man you were in love with and didn't even realize it. Too confused and shocked, you didn't even processed the fact that he had just admited to watch you talk to his cousins. He had watched you. After all, he did actually pay attention.  

"Michael, I'm not lying to you, I'm... concealing some things" You argumented, trying to find the right words to say. All you wanted, was to take that hurt off of his face. More than anything. 

"What are those things?" his look was intense, you barely could support it. When you turned your eyes away from him, his hand came to your chin and he made you stare at him again. In the place he touched you, for the first time ever willingly, you felt chills of pure bliss. His touch was soft, almost caring. "Tell me what's troubling you, (Y/N)"

"I-I came to ask for your mother's advice" You afirmed, realizing that he wouldn't take no for an answer. And even if he did, you wouldn't be able to walk away. Not in that moment, where he had his hand resting on your face.  

"About what?" He asked, noticing that you were keeping something else from him. After that question, you holded your breath in. You couldn't tell him. The consequences could be catastrophic. "Tell me, darling" he insisted and right then and there, hearing he call you that, you lost it. You didn't care about what would happen afterwards. Not in that special moment. 

"About a guy" You shilly answered and almost immediately, you could see his body tense up. Sighting heavily, Michael took his hand off of your face and walked away, stopping near the fireplace, where he fixed his eyes. 

"I see" Was all he said. Looking at his back, you could see that his muscles were more defined than before under his shirt. His jaw was clenched and his hands, once very gentle, had now turned into fists. 

You didn't know why he was acting like that. Like he was sad about hearing about your love life; or actually realising that you desired one. Since the day you meet him, not for once he had showed you any resemblance of interest. You always thought, that he didn't like you very much. So why?

"Michael, did I do something wrong?" You asked feeling completely insecure, confused and embarrassed about what you had just admited. You were a grown young woman, the fact that you were going to ask Polly for advice in that subject, made you feel kinda ashamed about what he was going to think of you. Him, Michael Gray, the guy who could probably have anyone he ever wanted in his bed. 

Michael let out a small laugh, that didn't had any humor in it. It was a dark laugh, an unsatisfied one. "No, you didn't (Y/N)" And after that phrase, said in a harsh tone, you realized that the Michael from moments ago, the one who touched your face and seemed to care had disappeared. He was the usual Michael again; the cold and distant one, who you couldn't reach. "I think you should leave" He continued and that made you gasp and feel a slight anger ignite in your bones. 

"So you tell me to be honest with you and then you kick me out?" You left yourself explode, tired of having those feelings for a guy who was so inconsistent as he. "What the actual fuck, Michael?" 

"Just go, (Y/N). I don't have nothing to say to you" He stated firmly, and you felt your heart hurt after hearing that. Feeling disappointed and frustrated, you tried your best to keep those emotions under control. 

"Go fuck yourself, Michael" You mumbled under your breath before turning around and starting to make your way towards the front door. 

Apparently he heard you, because a few seconds later when you were just about to leave the room, you felt his hand clench on your forearm and without any effort, because he was much more stronger than you were, he had you pinned against the nearest wall, his body keeping you steady in place. 

"What did you just say to me?" There was anger in his voice again. You could feel it in his grip. You could see it in his eyes. And sincerely, you didn't care. Because you were angry at him too. If he snapped, you would too. 

"I said go fuck yourself, Michael" You repeated all the words slowly, so he could hear and remember every last one of them. You saw his eyes flick to your lips only for a second while you talked and then, he did the most unexpected thing he could do, in that moment or in any other one. He kissed you. 

His lips were harsh on yours, the kiss almost hurting because of all the strength and anger he putted in it. When you gasped, completely surprised, he putted his tongue inside your mouth and you could taste the smoke on him. You're didn't like smoking, but coming from him, that taste seemed intoxicating. Made you wish to feel it forever. His hand that was on your forearm slided to your hair when you started to kiss him back, and he tugged on it while still kissing you harshly like his life depended on it. 

When you were completely out of breath he disconnected his mouth from yours, straring at your eyes deeply and with so much desire, so much want, that you felt in pure ecstasy. 

"Michael..." You started, still in shock about what he had just did. 

He, surprising you for what should be the hundredth time on that night, didn't say anything, just sighted and started to walk away. You wanted to stop him. To tell him that you loved him and he was the guy you were going to ask Polly for advice about. But when you heard the front door bang, you realized that he was gone.

Lily liveblogs: “The Rise of Skywalker,” part two

Neener, neener, world-building is for losers. Not to mention plot, character development, and general coherence.

(Or, fifty ideas in a trench coat pretending to be one movie.)

Look, you get ONE fetch quest per film, and we've already exceeded the limit here, please stop... [does not stop]

Poe literally has to ask to kiss Zorii because she's wearing a mask, lol. I mean, I like to think he would anyway, but... just saying.

They literally slot the medallion into the designated coin slot and that's it, it's over so fast, lololololol.

Like, the FO lets them in because they have a medallion and then only sends two troopers to investigate because Something Is Clearly Up? LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Okay, they're just going to straight up assault the Star Destroyer. 10/10 for style. Refuge in audacity and all that. Fine, whatever.

Finn ought to have some idea about the layout of the place, didn't the FO teach him that stuff when he was a stormtrooper? Or at least enough to have a hint. Or are they just going to wander around without a clue and magically find the right spot??

Oh, Rey's mastered the mind-trick now, good to know. (*Legally Blonde voice* "What, like it's hard?")

Poe's question if Rey does that to him and Finn is 100% spot on and he is RIGHT to ask that because the mind trick is SUPER INVASIVE and can be badly misused.Given how recalcitrant Poe’s been, I’m sure she’s been tempted.

Rey is so concerned about Chewie until she gets distracted by the dagger, sigh... [Han Solo voice] Convenient. [/Han Solo voice.]

Why do they need the dagger macguffin if they already have the coordinates? What a stupid thing to get Rey alone so she and Kylo can have a moment.

Kylo searching through Kijimi for Rey like he's got no fucking clue, lololol. So much for their "Force bond" here.

Does Finn feel, like, anything for the troopers he's shooting? I mean, obviously not in the heat of battle, but like, ever? Considering that his friend's death on Jakku was what snapped him out of the FO brainwashing in the first place... so he knows it's possible for the others to change. So... what a wasted opportunity here.

Literally, all of the troopers are patrolling either in pairs or alone, that is so dumb if there's actually an alert out on the ship for them.

Is Poe having PTSD flashbacks to the last time he got captured by the FO? Because I would, if I were in his shoes.

Rey picks up the dagger and has flashbacks again PSYCHOMETRY PSYCHOMETRY PSYCHOMETRY PSYCHOMETRY

Okay, the FUCK is going on with this fight scene. Where is she, really? Is she Force projecting? How can she do that when it killed Luke? How can BOTH of them be in two places at once? Ie, it's not that Rey is suddenly having an out-of-body experience and fighting Kylo on a spiritual plane in Kijimi - she's also fighting in Kylo's room, and even though I could see her body moving in time with her mind, is Kylo projecting himself into his room with HER, too? What is happening?

I feel like this scene would be so much more powerful if we established some parameters for HOW THIS POWER FUCKING WORKS so I know what the stakes are. Wouldn't it be interesting if this moved used life force, for instance, the same way that healing did? What are the restrictions/limitations? Why is none of this ever explained? It just happens... waaaaaahhhhhhh

I really love it when this is an open question in works that are thematically ABOUT "is it a dream? is it real? is it a mindfuck?" [see: Inception] but that's NOT THE POINT OF THIS FILM, this is a side issue, so it SHOULDN'T BE A MYSTERY, it should be actually intelligible to me what is going on even if I don't understand all the intricacies.

It does look cool, though. I'll grant them that much. The aesthetics of a night fight in the falling stone are ON POINT. Too bad the fight doesn't really use much of its scenery to any advantage. This could be literally anywhere for all that the characters draw on their surroundings.

"Wherever you are, you are hard to find." So smooth, Kylo.

Rey VERY CLEARLY SAYS "I don't want this!" in response to Kylo's "I've been in your head". Because consent is for LOSERs, am I right? [/sarcasm] ugghhhhhhh

"Your parents are no one...." but turns out they were actually someone! Never mind we never get their names or backstory anywhere! That might make them... interesting! Or even RELEVANT.

Okay, so stuff from Kijimi is literally spilling into the star destroyer and vice versa, is that actually happening or is that just a visual metaphor/dream sequence, I really need to know wtf is going on here.

Kylo using his knowledge of/from Palpatine to manipulate Rey is terrible but actually something he would do... and kinda clever. I'll grant him that much.

Ochi looks just like a twisted version of Maz, except taller... does that mean anything? probably not!

We literally have no connection to these two random new characters so their fate does not resonate as much as it SHOULD HAVE. Which one was Palpatine's kid? How did he HAVE kids in the first place? What was said kid's life like? Why did they grow up to run away and defy their dad? How did they meet the other partner? How did all this, you know, HAPPEN??

And why did Palpatine send an agent to kill them instead of killing/tortuing them himself, since they clearly had info he was interested in? THE FUCK.

I was hoping the Vader mask would finally be destroyed, but NOOOOOOOOOOO.

Lol how Kylo's like "I'm gonna only tell you the rest of the story in person" as if they weren't already fighting face to face in some weird dream-reality hybrid thingy. Kylo, you are so desperate and so so so so dumb.

LOL, Hux being all dramatic here. "I'm the spy!"

This just gets funnier when you remember how Poe trolled the SHIT out of him at the beginning of TLJ, so Poe has NO CLUE (because the writers didn't either until just now, natch), AND why Poe's reaction when Hux says he's gonna "do it himself" (ie, murder Poe) is so on point.

I approve of Rey looting Kylo's room before running off. Too bad she doesn't smash the Vader mask and be done with it. At least Chewie gets his crossbow back.

"I don't care if you win. I need Kylo Ren to lose." 10/10, excellent character motivation, and I approve. Hux is such a bastard and Kylo totally deserves this betrayal. (also: the Imperial philosophy in a nutshell.)

I'm not averse per se to Rey Palpatine, but this way of handling it is total bullshit and an asspull, sigh.

Oh, no, here comes the Force dyad nonsense. "We have no choice but to be together because we're SOULMATES! I'm stalking you because I LOVE YOU and it's DESTINY, Rey!" </sarcasm>

Oh, the destroyer is still in the atmosphere over Kijimi and not in space, I see. getting bespin feels here. This should have happened in the second movie not halfway through the third.

Yup, there's the "join me and rule the galaxy" offer right on cue.

Taking off your mask does not help here, Kylo. No one cares about your puppy dog eyes, you fucking stalker.

yeah, she would have jumped if the Falcon hadn't shown up right at the last minute, lol.

[Honestly, I would have had her jump and land smack on the back of the Falcon, but that may just be my twisted sense of humor talking.]

love kylo's dismay as she gets away. EXCELLENT LEAP. And Finn is wearing an oxygen mask, which is a detail which I <3!

Hux just dies with no drama, which is too bad, but also soooo typical of Imperial/FO management style. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Good thing your pettiness lives on!

(Pryde is clearly the Real Villain now that Hux is Actually Good, I see what you did there.)

I hate how Rey literally shuts Finn out here, when he is TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REMIND HER SHE'S A GOOD PERSON and Rey is so confused by Kylo's constant gaslighting that she ignores him. Like, psychologically understandable (and sad) but I fucking hate it. Finn deserves so much better than this.

Palpatine talks in Kylo's head... how? why? Why does Palps have this kind of connection with Kylo when he had to make hologram calls to Vader the old-fashioned way? (I know they established at the beginning of the film that they had this relationship, but it's still odd and inexplicable. Like the whole thing that was supposed to make Mara Jade special was that she could hear his voice anywhere in the galaxy... and Kylo's just... got that... for no reason? Because Palps targeted him since he was a kid???

(Keep in mind Kylo was concieved RIGHT AFTER ENDOR, so I dunno what Palps was up to or how long it would take him to get a body or LITERALLY ANY WAY IN WHICH THIS WOULD MAKE LOGISTICAL SENSE.)

It's a moon of Endor, but a DIFFERENT moon of Endor, fine, okay, and we're going to ignore the whole "How did the Death Star ruins get here, anyway?" because that's a world-building problem of an entirely different order of magnitude and just roll with it.

I do believe Rey is mentally running the numbers on Death Star scrap/value of kyber crystals on the open market here, because old habits die hard. And that is such a gorgeous shot, with the cliffs and the churning sea and the ruins.

Oh, I see, the wayfinder was on the moon because it was in the Death Star with Palps and somehow... didn't explode or get sucked out into the vacuum of space. That's a leap, but okay, whatever, fine.

using a macguffin to find another macguffin, wow.

I don't literally don't understand how this dagger is supposed to work as a compass, but fine, whatever. now we will never see it again.

Jannah looks great, I love her character design, but unfortunately, this movie is going to spend very little time exploring the world she lives in because we have to rush onto the next thing, sigh. And apparently, they know about the Resistance! Okay. And they know Babu Frik... or Babu Frik knows them enough to call in some favors...? WHAT.

So it's too dangerous to travel on the water because the waves are so big... which means some killer tides! That is actually interesting, but Rey just overrides everyone and goes anyway (alone!!) so I don't even know why this comes up as an obstacle if it is instantly resolved. This film keeps doing that, and it is not as cute as the director thinks it is.

Finn and Jannah bond over being ex-FO, and this film should spend wayyyy more time on this than it does. THEY BOTH HAD "FEELINGS" ABOUT WHAT WAS RIGHT AND THEY OVERCAME THEIR BRAINWASHING -- Finn is talking about the feeling and calling it "the Force," this is great, AND MY HEART IS DISSOLVING IN A MILLION FEELS AND I JUST... WANT THIS TO FREAKIN' MATTER... why is Finn so sure the Force is real? Faith? Or because he's actually a Jedi, too? (You already know which one I believe here. MAKE HIM A JEDI YOU COWARDS.)

Rey just fucks off and steals Jannah's boat? Where... was it? How did she find it? What... how does that even make sense??

too bad they don't have a working ship, they could just FLY over the ocean instead of surmounting the waves for extra unnecessary drama, lol.

Please keep in mind that Rey grew up in a fucking desert. That she cannot (despite what TLJ might have told you) swim. Yet she is on a boat in an ocean alone. This is a terrible idea. (I'm not going to say it's OOC, because Rey would, in fact, totally do this--just emphasizing how bad an idea this is.)

Finn says, "You have no idea what she's fighting" to Poe... who does know, actually. Kylo tortured him at the beginning of TFA, just like he tried to do later in that film to Rey. Surely Finn should... know this?

If Finn and Poe are going to fight here, fine, this is just a stupid argument. Finn says he and Leia know what Rey is up against and Poe says, I'm not Leia, YES WE NOTICED POE.

Whyyyy is Poe the Team Skeptic here and such a grouch?? not cool.

"That's for damn sure." OH SNAP. And also, actual profanity in Star Wars? Whoa!

Of course Finn is going to go after her.

I will say this: the Death Star ruins look hella cool. also, a nice callback to the beginning of TFA where Rey is exploring the Star Destroyer ruins.

my goodness, the upper arm strength required. I love this scene. they should have made Palpatine's ghost haunting the ruins so we could have the final boss fight here - that would make so much more since than him fucking off to Exegol of all places.

(the ruins are totally my aesthetic, tho.)

And the Sith wayfinder.. is just floating in midair. In the ruins of the Death Star that shouldn't exist. In some sort of chamber with no security whatsoever. wowwwwww. Oh, okay, it's in some sort of suspended chamber thingy, but still.... security measures??

Hey, Rey touches it, and experiences a creepy vision--PSYCHOMETRY, ANYONE? A security measure? Oh, no, just a crazy Force vision... maybe? I don't know anymore. I don't know why.

The double-bladed quarterstaff lightsaber is super cool, though.

Rey fighting her evil self in the crumbling tech ruins is TOTALLY MY AESTHETIC YESSSSSSSSS.

since Rey gets a vision when she touches the wayfinder and is released when she lets go of it, I honestly wonder what the other wayfinder said to Kylo, if he experienced anything when he touched it.

speaking of which, there's kylo! ughhhhh.

Like, literally Rey could have stolen the Sith wayfinder from Kylo if he had left it in his room, and she blew up at least one of his TIE fighters that had it so... I don't even know if Kylo has one anymore. Maybe he doesn't need it? WHATEVER.

Rey is not amused. GIVE ME MY MACGUFFIN!

This is, for the record, the THIRD FIGHT between Kylo and Rey in this film, please just kill him already.

Kylo trying to gaslight Rey about not being a Jedi and how she's proven she's not and she'll disappoint Leia. HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK LEIA FEELS ABOUT YOU, KYLO??? PROJECTING MUCH???

"Like I can't [go back to Leia]." Ooooohhhhhhh, forced teaming there, way to make your move by claiming to show vulnerability. YOU CHOSE THIS. YOU CHOSE THAT PATH. SHE SENT HAN TO BRING YOU HOME AND YOU MURDERED HIM BECAUSE SNOKE TOLD YOU TO SO YOU COULD LEVEL UP IN HIS STUPID DEATH CULT AND SNOKE TURNED OUT TO BE A PUPPET SO IT WAS ALL FOR NAUGHT, YOU ASSHOLE, and NOW YOU'RE TRYING GASLIGHT REY BY PROJECTING YOUR FAILURES ONTO HER.

And he shatters the macguffin rather than let her have it because he's that much of an asshole.

He doesn't pull out his lightsaber until several seconds in, just moves around because he genuinely doesn't want to hurt her even though he just provoked her into losing her temper to prove a point.

It's raining back on Jungle Planet for ATMOSPHERE and Leia is having a Force Vision of DOOOOOOOM, this was oh so clearly supposed to be for Han's death in TFA, but noooooooooooo we're using it here.

(Also, how is it not raining on the tech, I think there are roofs, but it's so hard to tell.)

Maz is so dramatic about this. "Leia knows what must be done, Artoo." Yes, Kylo is going down.

The aesthetics of the ocean ruins fight scene are 100% my jam, not gonna lie, it looks very cool.

So, once again, the Supreme Leader went off on his own... without backup... not even his own private biker gang.... AGAIN. I just.... can't even... what an idiot. What an absolute idiot.

Good thing Finn and Jannah are here, though I doubt the narrative will actually let them do much. I wish Finn and/or Jannah would just shoot Kylo here once Rey gives them an opening, but no, they're just going to stand there helpless.  

I get why Rey pushes them away so Kylo won't use them against her as hostages, but STILL. THERE ARE THREE OF YOU AND ONE OF HIM. USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, REY.

drenched unhappy Kylo Ren is excellent, yesssss.

This is the first time I've seen anyone use the Force to halt the blade of a lightsaber... interesting.

Rey is treating her lightsaber like it's one-half of a quarterstaff, I LOVE it, but it also begs the question why didn't she just make a double-bladed saber (with, say, a split kyber crystal from TLJ?) in the first place instead of using a weapon that clearly doesn't work for her as well????

Leia could have reached out to her son at any moment, but she chose not to because she needed to save her strength... but Palps can talk to Kylo across the galaxy and he's fine?? And Kylo and Rey can be in two different places and be just fine (yeah okay, Force dyad soulmates whatever whatever)??? THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

Rey stabbing Kylo with his own damn blade is POETIC CINEMA and also justice. FINALLY.

I think if there were any questions about whether Rey has killed someone, the answer in this scene is no. I can't tell if she's crying for Leia, for shock, for relief, for grief and regret over murdering Kylo, or what.

WHY DOES SHE USE HER LIFE FORCE TO HEAL HIM? WHY? WHY? WHY??????????? (give me a motivation, I dont know what her motivation is here, I dont know why she makes this sacrifice to HIM of all people and I feel like I really should know for this scene to have emotional impact but it doesn't).

LEIA SACRIFICED HERSELF FOR YOU, REY, AND YOU'RE JUST GOING THROW IT AWAY LIKE THIS???

Now, if this movie were actually serious about Kylo and Rey being a Force dyad or two halves of the same whole, then we, the audience, would realize along with Rey that she can't let Kylo die without hurting herself... which I'm not sure I would enjoy, but would at least be COHERENT and fit into the ESTABLISHED WORLDBUILDING even if said worldbuilding is dumb and personally offensive to me. I'M JUST SAYING THERE ARE OPTIONS HERE, YOU TOTALLY HAD OPTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE MADE NARRATIVE SENSE SO I DIDN’T HAVE TO DO IT FOR YOU ON THE SPOT. 

"I did want to take your hand. Ben's hand." We know that. That was the whole ending of TLJ. Why is this such a shock now??? She already said that at the end of the last movie, so what have we accomplished since? Absolutely nothing has changed on that front, Kylo!!

Also, Kylo--she saved your life when she didn't have to, and you can't even say Thank you? YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLE.

{there's one hour left in this movie WHATTTTTTTTTTTTT how is that even possible}

lol, she just straight up steals his ship.... which is just perched on top of the ruins nearby and hasn't been damaged at all by spray... and which should ALSO have the wayfinder macguffin in it.... so she's going to Exegol, right? The thing she's been wanting to do for the whole movie? The thing that they only have what, four hours left before the attack or whatever?

NOPE. She goes to Ahch-To. Because of course she does.

I hate this fucking movie so much.

Glee Memories: 1x10 Ballad

A long, long time ago, as Glee was approaching graduation in Season 3, I found myself nostalgic with some rare free time on my hands. So I decided to rewatch the series from the beginning and jot down some memories, discrepancies that have arisen since, fave quotes, tally solos - all that good stuff, strictly for shits and giggles.

8 years later (eek!) and once more I find myself with an unexpected abundance of free time. With so many revisiting or being newly introduced to the show between binge watching during Quarantine and all the tragedy that has surrounded the show since it went off the air, I figured I’d finish what I started. And by finish, I mean go through the end of S3. Cause I truly cannot acknowledge what happened after that. Except for 5B.

Kicking this off by reposting the first 15 episodes I already went through. Enjoy!

1x10 Ballad “Ok, who can tell me what a ballad is?” “It’s a male duck”

ok, I disagree with Schue’s definition of a ballad. “Stories set to music” – um…isn’t that every song? Or is it just in musicals that it’s supposed to be, lol?

“Looks like my weekly letter to the Ohio showchoir committee FINALLY paid off” and the look she gives Puck. Haha. This Rachel Berry is funny. Cause they’re letting us laugh at her right along with her. Not asking us to put her on a pedestal and/or take her seriously all the damn time. I’m not even gonna get started. I’m watching this post Props/Nationals, and though I didn’t think it could, my hate has grown. In abundance. Trying to keep it in check. Moving on…

“I bet that duck’s in the hat”

“Matt’s out sick today. He had to go to the hospital cause they found a spider in his ear” Um, ew. Also terrifying. However, humorous nonetheless. And an effort to explain a random absence of a Glee club member. Remember how they used to do that?

Aw, Artie drew Quinn’s name out of the hat. :) 2 seasons later and they’ll get 2 duets (both of which I loooove). Shame they didn’t do it this ep. Romantic or just friends, I ADORE the chemistry with Diana and Kevin. I really wanted to see more of that. :(

omg. Kurt’s face when Finn pulls his name. Adorable. Also, I love that Finn is not cool with it but a year later Sam is totes fine. Maybe that’s just cause I love dudes that are comfortable enough in their sexuality to do things that d-bags in high school might tease them about being gay for. Or maybe that’s just cause I love Sam Evans. Couldn’t tell ya. Except yeah, I totes could. It’s cause I wants a Trouty Mouth to call my very own. *lesigh*

“other asian” Ha!

Brittana!

“The fates talked, Mr. Schue” #BlessFinnsHeart

I love the voice-overs during Endless Love: “Screw him if he thinks he’s taking the Diana Ross part from me” “I love the days when I wear no underwear” “I never noticed how nice Rachel’s butt is…oh crap! I think Quinn knows I’m staring at it!”

I also love the facial expressions of Rachel and Mr. Schue here. Hilarious.

Haha – Brad’s like “wtf is happening?”

“Crap – she looks crazy right now!” hahahahahaha

Because of Rachel’s realization through this song, it means Lea Michele can’t squint nearly as much. Wow. It’s like a whole new Rachel with her eyes open while she’s singing.

Artie’s face after the duet. It’s like someone stepped in dog poop.

Ok, Charlotte Ross was in a show in the 90’s I used to watch that, if I recall, failed miserably but nonetheless had a brief stint as my guilty pleasure show. And I can’t remember what it is for the life of me and keep forgetting to look when I have access to google it. Anyone?

“I don’t want you to lift a finger for me. I’m your wife!” Oh wow. So unhealthy. So republican. Soooooo some parts of Ohio. These are the folks that voted for Bush. :/ Yep, I’m still ashamed to be from Ohio when I think of that election.

Suzy. Pepper. Yes. I love this actress. Bright and Hannah were my OTP on Everwood. I miss them.

“You knew it was me just by the sound of my breath. That’s so romantic.”

“Listen, you little psycho, this is Will’s wife, and if I don’t get enough sleep my anti-depressants won’t work, and then I’ll go crazy and I’ll kill you.” Oh Terri. So maternal and loving.

Suzy Pepper is sobbing to More Than Words. That was my jam back in the day!

“Your lashing out at me is fantastically compelling…and….inappropriate.”

“Thank God I never missed a piano lesson” – really Kurt? Is this the first and only time we’re to believe Kurt can play piano well enough to accompany someone from memory?

Finn singing I’ll Stand By You to a sonogram dvd on his laptop. I have no words. I don’t think I thought it was this weird the first time I watched it.

So Finn’s mom busts him singing to said laptop sonogram dvd…and he doesn’t close the laptop…or stop the dvd…or try to hide the screen. He sits up next to it as she approaches him, almost begging her to see it. I felt the same way then as I do now – it was an opportunity for him to not tell her necessarily but for her to find out anyways and I think he really wanted her to know so he could go to her for help and comfort and to relieve everything he couldn’t deal with about the situation. I’m just sayin’.

Oh old school Carol with her denim and that hair…she’s still such a great mom though. And this actress. My God. She’s amazing.

“You’re wrong, I’m right. I’m smart, you’re dumb.”

“Dude. Impulse control!” haha

“I dunno why I find his stupidity charming. I mean, he’s cheating off a girl who thinks the square root of 4 is rainbows.” #BlessFinnsHeart

Oh Young Girl/Don’t Stand So Close to Me mash-up. I fell in lust with you from the first moment I laid eyes on you.

Seriously. Matthew Morrison is so hot in this mash-up. Yowzah.

“So, Rachel, do you think you understood the message I was trying to get across with that ballad?” “Yes! It means I’m very young and it’s hard for you to stand close to me.”

“You’re a very good performer. He’s very good.”

Finn and Kurt bonding over their lost parents. This is a sweet scene.

“You think I should bring a gun?” #BlessFinnsHeart

“Casserole’s almost ready. Hope you like venison!” Ok. TERRIFYING to come home and find Rachel Berry in an apron, cooking you dinner, in your home.

Hey, remember that time that Rachel literally sang 3 lines of Crush and they released it in its entirety as a single from this episode? Ridonk.

“I found out today that my hamster was pregnant in biology class and I just started weeping!”

Aw, Mercedes and Puck are paired up for duet ballads.

haha. Babygate.

“Finn’s not the father! I am.” People be spilling out their truths to Mercedes y’all.

“Alright, look, you need to get something through your Mohawk real quick: you’re the baby’s daddy. It takes a hell of a lot more to be a father and that role’s already been cast because Quinn chose Finn. You need to accept that and move on cause you have no business messin’ up that girl’s life more than you already have. You need to back off. You owe her at least that much. ”Aw, Mercedes. Laying down tough love. And looking out for Quinn before they were even friends. Man. I love Mercedes.

Oh that’s right – Quinn has an older sister! Why did we never meet her?

“He wears a helmet when he plays, right?” – THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYIN’! #BlessFinnsHeart

“I have to go, they’ll think I’m pooping.” Hehehehe.

omg. So I love this still. Finn is doing karate moves in the bathroom mirror to pump himself up to sing to the Fabrays that Quinn’s pregnant. That is so effing funny. What happened to this Finn?

You’re Having My Baby. Haha. This song is so cheesy. This scene is so uncomfortable.

So Quinn’s parents, unlike Finn, are NOT simple-minded and have figured it out. And it’s terrifying.

“We didn’t even have sex” #BlessFinnsHeart

Quinn’s parents are kicking her out. Well, her dad is and her mom isn’t standing up to him. This is rough. Especially when you realize they’re supposed to be 15. So wrong. Poor Quinn. And her dad just screamed at her that she was a disappointment. Yeah…she’s had to deal with some shit. And in the end, they don’t acknowledge that she did and try to make her out to be the bad guy, and selfish… Way to go, RIB.

Oh good ole Carol, without a moment of hesitationlets Quinn stay with them.

“Honey, you can stay here as long as you want.” Carol’s the best. So glad she found Burt.

“We’re not so different, you and me. We’re both mildly attractive and extremely grating. Love is hard for us. We look for boys we know we can never have. Mr. Schue is a perfect target for our self-esteem issues. He can never reciprocate our feelings which only reinforces the conviction that we’re not worthy of being loved. Trust me. I’m a cautionary tale. You need to find some self-respect, Rachel. Get that mildly attractive groove back.” Suzy Pepper, ladies and gentlemen. Dropping truth bombs.

“There’s some boy out there who’s gonna like you for everything you are, including those parts of you that even you don’t like. Those are gonna be the things about you that he likes the most.” Hmm…might be true. Never thought about this, but I’d say that describes Jesse. But not Finn so much. Maybe recently. But…he has made several comments about her being annoying or controlling as they were dating. And not in a ‘those are my favorite things about her’ kinda way. Just sayin’.

Aw. Kurt seems like he feels really bad about Quinn getting kicked out.

“Open your eyes! I didn’t tell you to close your eyes.” “Is there a cake?” No, there’s no cake!” #BlessFinnsHeart

Lean On Me. Watching this now, with one ep left and it’s graduation…yeah, I’m crying. Dammit, Glee.

haha, Mercedes just kinda pushed past Rachel who was front and center to sing her solo. Probably not intentional but still funny.

Damn, Kevin McHale.

Damn, Amber Riley.

SOLOS: Rachel (1), Will (2), Finn (2), Artie (1), Mercedes (1)

[companionhell]

Would you consider doing companions react to Sole sticking up for them, even when they weren’t around? The companion meets up with Sole one day and Sole’s rocking a gnarly shiner+other injuries- when asked about it, Sole admits that someone at the bar was talking about their companion rudely/creepily and Sole got into a serious bar fight with them over it, bc “Nobody says that kind of stuff about MY best friend without comeuppance.” (IDK, Sole being a True Homie is good to me.)

Leaving Dogmeat out because… who would insult the dog? :(

Cait: Cait looked at them in disbelief for a minute. “Are ya fuckin’ with me?” When Sole shook their head, Cait just laughed and punched their shoulder (regardless of any injuries there). “Well, looks like the bastard got a good swing or two on you.” She didn’t seem to take it too seriously while speaking to them, but in reality it was kinda… sobering. Cait couldn’t think of another soul who’d risk their skin on her behalf, even if it was only a fistfight. Certainly, she saw Sole in a different light afterwards.

Codsworth: He made a big fuss. “Oh my… sir/mum!” Codsworth floated around them, craning his eyes to inspect wounds and promptly giving Sole medical supplies, erring on the side of excessive caution. “While it was quite generous of you to defend my honor, sir/mum,” he said, still bustling around as Sole tended to their injuries, “you mustn’t harm yourself on my behalf. And you certainly mustn’t escalate a verbal altercation like that, good lord! A few insults aren’t the end of the world. There must be other ways to resolve an argument.”

Curie: Curie was horrified. She scolded Sole while tending to their injuries, dabbing their scrapes with alcohol and putting ice on the larger bruises. Her words switched between almost inaudible, usually medical notes to herself, and louder, more pointed comments on how violent the Commonwealth was. “Mon dieu. Hurting others is never acceptable, but it seems you never learned that up here. Minor laceration… Just because this world is full of barbarians doesn’t excuse retaliation.” Fighting, even for her, would not win her approval.

Danse: Danse sighed heavily when he saw Sole’s black eye and dozens of bruises and scrapes. Other than that, though, he didn’t actually scold them too badly, besides maybe shaking his head as they told the story. Afterwards, Danse told them sternly not to put themselves in harm’s way like that- yes, even if he was being insulted- but he was internally somewhere between touched and vaguely bemused. He wasn’t sure he wouldn’t have done the same thing himself, honestly, so he couldn’t be too critical of Sole.

Deacon: Yeah, it was pretty funny, but it still wasn’t great to have been positively identified at a bar and then associated with Sole in the form of a fight with several witnesses. Especially if it was at, like, the Dugout Inn, where the proprietors were already suspicious of Deacon. “Well, looks like I need a new cover,” he said in resignation. “Have fun in your fistfight? Break any teeth for me?” Really, Deacon didn’t know how to feel about it. He wasn’t the biggest fan of the violence, but he also didn’t doubt Sole’s loyalty- and that was something.

Gage: After he got over his initial surprise that Sole would fight for him (it was definitely a new feeling), Gage was honestly baffled that the other guy wasn’t dead. He couldn’t believe someone had managed to give Sole a shiner without three bullets between their eyes- this was the Overboss, after all. Some folks had got shot for less. If Sole chose to keep it limited to a fistfight for some strategic reason, though, Gage would wanna know who the fuck it was. If someone that important had it out for him, he wanted to know.

Hancock: He grinned at the news, stepping back to get a big-picture view of Sole’s injuries. “Well, well. Looks like you finally paid me back for Finn. You, uh, just rough 'em up a little? Not seeing any red stains on your get-up, there.” Whether Sole had killed the person or not, Hancock was glad to see how much Sole’s sense of loyalty lined up with his. Hell, he’d killed a man for Sole on day one, and that willingness hadn’t changed much since. He wanted to know who was bad-mouthing him, though- shut down any conspiracies before they started.

MacCready: MacCready kind of half-laughed at the sorry state Sole was in, but he was actually pleasantly surprised. He hadn’t met a lot of people who’d do anything like that for him, and though he considered Sole his best friend, it was nice to have that affirmation. “Yeesh, that’s a nasty black eye. Knowing you, though, I bet the other guy looks way worse.” That prompted Sole into a graphic description of exactly what they’d done to that idiot, which MacCready sat and listened to, growing more appreciative (and more amused) by the second.

Nick: He was firstly concerned about Sole’s injuries, but once assured they were minor and told the reason, Nick got vaguely irritated. He had several pals with a penchant for fisticuffs, Hancock included, but this was ridiculous. Nick had been insulted his whole life, faced anti-synth prejudice almost everywhere, but he’d never resorted to a fistfight without a damn good reason. He told Sole so, too, but he found he couldn’t be too hard on them. They were just trying to watch Nick’s back, after all, though their methods were less than savory.

Piper: She rolled her eyes. “Come on, Blue. Again? If you concussed everyone who’d ever criticized me, half the Commonwealth would be out cold.” In truth, Piper was more playfully irritated than actually irate. Though maybe Sole wasn’t the best role model for Nat to see fraternizing with her older sister, Sole was a real good person, with a persistent sense of humor and an undying loyalty to their friends. They weren’t too violent, either- unless Piper’s dignity was on the line, apparently. She didn’t really mind, but she couldn’t encourage it either.

Preston: Preston was disapproving, sure (especially considering his worry when Sole walked into Sanctuary looking like that), but he didn’t really get mad. Maybe it wasn’t the best for public image if the General of the Minutemen was seen getting into bar fights, but the thought behind it was sweet. It was nice to know Sole cared about him so much, actually, that Preston’s admiration was reciprocated, even if Sole’s way of showing it left something to be desired. He still suggested they avoid it in the future, though.

Strong: Strong recognized the bruises and cuts as badges of a successful hand-to-hand fight, and didn’t even need the explanation before he was expressing approval, if mixed with semi-condescending remarks on fragile human skin. He was glad to hear Sole was defending him, too. Though he insisted he would have rather snapped the offender’s neck himself, he knew other humans stared at Sole while he was with them. It was good that Sole didn’t mind their judgement, just as he didn’t mind his brothers’ disapproval.

X6-88: X6 bit the inside of his lip once he saw Sole. He’d seen this person stare down mutants, Gunners, deathclaws, and he found it very difficult to not make a sarcastic remark about how some bar fight would be their downfall. Somehow, he kept it in, though, and was surprised by Sole’s next words, glad for the sunglasses to hide his eyes widening. Obviously, he didn’t care what the wastelanders thought of him, but Sole clearly did- and their demonstrable loyalty to X6 was almost... touching. He’d never experienced anything like it.

Wendip Week 2018 Part 4: Date Night

Hey guys, sorry for not posting these here during Wendip week. Let me give you a run-down of the background: I made my Wendip Week in context of the Kamen Rider Weird series I’m writing, which takes place in the future of SuperGroverAway’s universe (with ddp456 influence….yes, I had permission from them both). As a result, the main characters - including Phoebe, their daughter - from my series are co-hosts for this week. I’ll post more of Wendip Week here, but for those of you who want to read the main story, follow me on fanfiction.net or leave a guest review. Now, then, here’s part 4 of Wendip Week 2018:

#############################################################################################################

“You know, Phoebe…” Ken got up and paced the room a bit. “Your mom, well, I’ve noticed something about her.” He was trying as hard as he could to word the next thought carefully.

“Yeah?” Phoebe said, looking up at him with an inquisitive gaze. “Come on, just say how you feel.”

“She’s…not really the mushy romantic type.”

Phoebe relaxed and leaned back. “I mean, yeah, I’ll give you credit there…”

“It honestly feels like Dipper is more into the grand gestures, ya know?”

Phoebe cocked an eyebrow. “You’re reaching a bit there…that’s kinda harsh. Mom’s done romantic stuff.”

“Sure, like burning her hair on a candle when trying to make a romantic dinner?”

“And Dad once got bitten by a bunch of doves trying to set up an anniversary surprise, what’s your point?”

Ken sighed in mock resignation. “Oh, fine. My point was different anyway. I was just going to say that when she DOES go for something, she goes big. I’m just surprised how long it takes sometimes…”

“Wait, are you talking about…” Phoebe groaned in mock frustration. “You just LOVE talking about yourself, huh?”

“Well, sure, but also blame it on the watch.” Ken pointed. “I’ve been getting messages from Castle that if he’s spending a fortnight writing these, he’s getting some worldbuilding out of it.”

“What’s worldbuilding?”

Ken threw up his hands. “I dunno, I just work here….So a week after Dipper’s anniversary surprise - yes, the one we talked about last year - Wendy sprung something on a similar scale: after she got a push…”

###############################################################################################################

Ken woke up in a hammock outside of the Mystery Shack, confused for all the world as to what he was doing there. Then he remembered - after cleaning the bunker of the anniversary party from last night, he had crashed there to avoid having to ride home so exhausted. He went into the kitchen to see Wendy sipping a cup of coffee by herself. “Oh, um, good morning.”

Wendy looked up. “Oh, hey Ken. Slept well?” Her face had a smile, but her eyes seemed…off.

“Yeah, thanks. Um, you got anymore coffee?”

“Sure, man. Help yourself.” Wendy nodded to the kitchen counter, where the pot was still steaming. Ken filled up a mug and wordlessly sat across from the only occupant in the room.

After a moment of silence, Ken decided to start. “So, um… surprised to see you up so early.”

Wendy chuckled a bit. “Well, I’m sure Dipper’s sleeping well mostly because of the planning he had to do the past few weeks. Doofus gets like that sometimes - works on what he considers important tirelessly, then crashes. Ask him about your belt sometime if you don’t believe me.”

“Oh, I believe you.” Ken leaned forward a bit. “But that’s one adult out of all the ones that you somehow beat to the table. I don’t think the problem is with them. I think something’s bothering you.”

Wendy sighed. “Man, this is why I talk to you like and adult and asked that you call us all by first name. You somehow get us too well.”

“Quick study, I guess….so, what’s eating you?”

Wendy leaned back and looked up in the sky. “Want to guess what Dipper and I did for our first anniversary?”

“Wait, so a year after the bunker or…?”

Wendy laughed. “Oh no, sorry. I meant our actual anniversary a year into being married. Sorry, we didn’t start counting from earlier on until, well, later…on.”

Ken shrugged. “It’s fine. But humor me, what did you do?”

“Chinese takeout and a bad movie. I kid you not. And it was MY idea too. After Dipper had tred to do this whole thing with a bunch of doves…”

Ken snorted. “In an apartment. I don’t know what he expected to happen.”

“Well, yeah, he wasn’t exactly his smarter self that day. Point is, though, he always worked to make our anniversaries special. Now I wonder why I never seem to. We have a date night this Saturday, and yet all I can think of is what B-rated movie to watch.” Wendy kicked the corner of the table lightly.

Ken shook his head. “Wendy, if I may…you’re not seeing the big picture here.”

Wendy looked up, a bit of fire in her eyes that suggested the next words had to be carefully chosen. “How so?”

Ken smiled, not being put off at all by the look. “I was part of yesterday’s event quite last minute, and yet I was able to see one thing very clearly. Dipper loves you, he loves everything about you, and he loves every minute he gets to spend with you.”

Wendy calmed down a bit as the truth of his words washed over her. “So what, then? I’ve hit peak? No reason to do anything special for him?”

“Not exactly. I’d say the best thing you can do is keep making good memories with him - whatever that means.” Ken got up. “Want some eggs?” He said, getting some out of the fridge.

Wendy drummed her fingers on the table as Ken got to work with a pan. “You know what, Ken? You’re right…except for one thing…”

Ken turned around. “Which is?”

“He doesn’t love every moment we’ve had together….because some of the ones from our first summer together, I ruined by doing the wrong thing. I do need to keep making new memories, but partly to make some of those right. But one in particular I need your help. Heck,” she smiled. “I could use the entire family on this, but at the very least I need you, Finn, Soos, and the Shack.”

Ken looked at her with confusion. “The Shack?”

Wendy chuckled. “Mabel ever told you of the first big dance party we held here?”

###############################################################################

A few days later, Dipper was returning to his room for some rest when he noticed a note on his pillow. “Wait, what’s this?” With his trademark curiosity, he opened it up to find a very familiar hand:

Hey, Dork,

I know we had plans for Sunday’s date night, but I have another idea - one I don’t want to spoil by looking at you as I give you this:

As Dipper’s eyes lowered down the page, he gasped at what he saw - a black bowtie. He was slightly confused - “Have I ever worn this outside of Northwest events?” In his heart he knew the answer, but…he shook his head as if to dispel those thoughts and kept reading:

Wear this and your normal clothes that day, and don’t cancel the checkup on the manotaur caves - just be back at 7:00. I know you’ll be tempted to try and find out what happens, but don’t get itchy over this - just trust me.

Wendy

Dipper chuckled. “I don’t know what to expect, but something tells me I’ll enjoy and regret it at the same time…”

#####################################################################################

6:59 PM on Sunday…

Finn looked at Ken as the two were in place. “Well, we’re almost on. You ready?”

Ken brandished the sticks in his hands. “Twice in eight days. I should get paid for this.”

Finn grinned. “Well, well, the superhero is getting greedy.”

“Quiet, doods.” Soos said from his position, even as the two could not see him. “He’ll be here soon.”

#############################################################################

After a long day and even a shower in the bunker - years of marriage taught a man to not interrupt the plans of your wife - Dipper stood in front of the door to the Mystery Shack, clutching his bowtie in his hand. Despite his wife’s reassurances in the notes, he had to control every muscle fiber in his body to keep from itching. Instead, he simply tied the black fabric over the orange t-shirt, wishing he had a mirror to make sure it was straight. Of course, he caught himself thinking this way and began chiding himself for that instead.

“Easy there, Dipper…it’s alright…” he muttered as his hand reached for the doorknob. “Wendy had a good reason for doing all this…you’re acting like you’re twelve again…” And with that he opened the door and was taken aback by the scene.

The entire main room of the Shack had been cleared out and replaced with a purple dance floor and strobe lights. Soos played a techno sound off his favorite synthesizer as Dipper walked in, causing the young man to notice that Soos had gone back to wearing the green T-shirt he had as handyman rather than his modern Mystery Host suit. Dipper couldn’t help but say aloud. “OK….maybe I am twelve again.”

Out of the corner came his favorite voice. “Depends. Do I look fifteen again?”

Dipper turned about to see what was probably the least surprising thing that night. There she stood, his Wendy, having gone through all the work of putting this together and yet still wearing her work boots, flannel green, a lumberjack cap, and a black bowtie matching his own…again, like that night.

Seeing her and her plan come to fruition, whatever nervousness Dipper had before coming in was gone, and he found himself grinning as he replied “You kinda do, lumberjack queen.” But then he quickly became overawed again. “You did all this for me?”

Wendy smirked, “Well it was my idea, but come on. We’re kids again, remember? Do you honestly think that I lifted a finger in doing all this?”

“Boom!” Mabel came out shooting a confetti gun with a giant POOF! “You’re not the only one who gets to use family resources for romance, bro-bro. Decorating extraordinaire Mabel, at your service!”

Dipper looked around as the rest of the family gathered - Melody, Ford, Stan, even teenage Gladys and Phoebe all coming close to the dance floor but not stepping on. After all, they all knew this night was about them.

Dipper chuckled. “God, other than the crowd…with you and me dancing, this is almost exactly like how I imagined that night going.”

Wendy grinned mischievously. “Well, one other big exception. Soos isn’t a DJ for all of tonight…he’s just an MC.”

Dipper’s eyebrow twitched in surprise. “Wait, then who - ?”

Soos interrupted by speaking into the mic “Ladies and Gentlemen, your cover band for tonight, please welcome Two Tune Monty!”

With that and some applause from the family, the makeshift curtain behind him dropped to reveal Ken and Finn behind the drums and guitar, ready to rock on. After a quick nod, Ken started drumming out the beat.

Dipper looked at Wendy in mock disgust as he said, “Fall Out Boy’s “Dance Dance”? Really?”

Wendy laughed. “Be honest, dork. It wouldn’t really be us if there wasn’t something either unconventional or straight out of a B-movie. This felt like both.”

“Oh well…Wanna dance?” Dipper graciously held out his hand. Wendy took it with a smile.

Ken: She says she’s no good with words, but I’m worse

Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue

As the two tried couples dancing to a song not meant for it, Dipper turned red upon realizing how true those words had been.

Ken: Weighed down with words too overdramatic

Tonight it’s “it can’t get much worse”, Versus “no one should ever feel like”

“Regretting this yet?” Wendy grinned playfully, thinking of how overdramatic Dipper could be..

“A little…but you gotta try harder than that.” Dipper said.

Finn: I’m two quarters and a heart down

And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds

These words are all I have so I write them

So you need them just to get by

Dipper suddenly started spinning with Wendy across half the floor, earning quite the whoop from the twin sister watching it all. As Finn finished the verse and entered the guitar riff, Wendy pulled Dipper close and whispered “Got a list?”

Dipper just grinned. “Oh you,” before dipping her down low.

Finn and Ken: Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance, this is the way they’d love

If they knew how misery loved me

Somehow they both knew exactly how to mock falling apart to halftime - by separating and literally almost falling to the floor before grabbing each other for support. They pulled back to each other, nearly bumping heads before letting go and solo dancing next to each other, just enjoying each other’s company.

“This is WAY more fun than if we did this back then.” Dipper said as he grooved.

“Shut up and dance,” Wendy mocked.

“Wrong song,” Dipper just laughed.

As the boys entered the second verse, the overhead lights turned off as strobe lights started their magic.

Ken: You always fold just before you’re found out

Drink up it’s last call last resort

But only the first mistake and

“You getting out of work at the Shack…” Dipper was all too happy to use that as he spun his wife.

Wendy knocked his hat off and pushed his hair back while pulling him close. “You showing me this little gift…”

Finn and Ken: I’m two quarters and a heart down

And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds

These words are all I have so I write them

So you need them just to get by

Finn: Why don’t you show me a little bit of spine

You’ve been saving for his mattress, love

Dipper suddenly found himself letting go of Wendy and dancing perfectly, his feet moving in ways that he did not seem to control. “What is happening?!”

Wendy laughed. “Just roll with it, I guess.”

Finn and Ken: Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance, this is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me

As the guitar did a bit of a solo, Dipper gulped. Wendy smiled. “Even on our date night you’re worried about family. Don’t worry, I gave them a censored version”

Dipper grinned like an idiot. “Wendy, thanks for this. This is the second time this summer you’ve closed a gap in my soul from that first year.”

Wendy joked, “Only two times? Gotta try harder.” before kissing his cheek. “You’re welcome doofus.”

Finn and Ken (skipping a few bars): Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance this is the way they’d love (Ken: way they’d love)

Finn: Dance this is the way they’d love (Ken: way they’d love)

Finn and Ken: Dance this is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me

Finn: Dance, dance

Dance, dance

Dance, dance

Dance, dance

“Well, not to boost your ego,” Phoebe chuckled as the story came to a close. “But you two did a nice job.”

“Thanks. Although, it kinda goes to show, I feel like a lot of romantic moments and dates involve family being there when it comes to your clan. Kinda like that whole first anniversary.” Ken remarked, leaning back.

Phoebe shrugged. “Mom in some ways doesn’t love Dad just for himself. She also loves everything about him, including the other people close in his life, like aunt Mabel.”

Ken groaned. “Did you have to word it like that?”

Phoebe shot back. “Would you rather I reveal the verse of the song you and Finn conveniently cut out? Something about mattresses and…”

Ken looked at where he imagined a camera would be and started gesturing with his hand. “Cut the feed, cut the feed!”

Two Months III

Pairing: Prince!Ben Solo x reader Warnings: cursing (probably spelling and grammar problems whoops) Summary: Ben Solo has two months to marry before being put in an arranged marriage. In a fit of rage he runs away and stumbles into The Cantina Diner where he meets a beautiful waitress.  A/N: Mysterious ex boyfriend is finally revealed!!!! (If you look close enough)

Prologue/Chapter I/Chapter II

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Can we go somewhere else please?”

“Yeah don’t worry. We can go to lunch some other time. Let’s get you somewhere comfortable.”

Eventually you and Finn ended up at Poe’s apartment. Opening the door you were greeted by Poe’s spaniel BB.

“Hey BB.” you said, bending down to pet the dog. BB barked and jumped up on you. The little guy loved affection. 

“What’s up guys? Thought ya’ll were going to lunch.”

“Yeah well that got screwed up cause somebody...” Finn looked at you before continuing. “unwanted was eating at the restaurant.”

Hux took his napkin and patted his mouth. Thankfully there was a restaurant with high enough ratings that it met his standards. Paying the check he got up and left.

Pulling out his phone he searched up the seediest bar. That’s probably where he’d find Ben. 

After having a nice long conversation with Poe and Finn, plus some much needed puppy time, you strolled back to your apartment.

Opening the door you threw your keys on the table. Ben’s check caught your eye.

“Oh fuck it.” you thought, grabbing the piece of paper.

Flopping on to the couch you typed the number into your phone and threw it on speaker. After a few dial tones he finally picked up.

“Hello?”

“Uh hey this is Y/N.”

“You’re actually calling me?”

“I mean you were persistent. Kind of like a nice rash that won’t go away until you pay attention to it.”

“Is that a weird way of saying you’ll go out with me?”

“I won’t go on a date with you, but I will let you buy me a beer.”

“Close enough. Text me your address. I’ll pick you up around 7. See ya then sweetness.”

Huffing and rolling your eyes you hung up. 

Did you actually just agree to a date with Ben?

No. No it wasn’t a date. He was just gonna buy you a beer. Nothing more. No way you’d let it escalate. Maybe if you let him do this he’d ignore you. 

You sighed, texted Ben your address and then immediately texted Rey.

Y/N: I need you to come over ASAP. Rey: Shit. Everything okay??? Y/N: Yeah yeah. I’ll explain everything when you get here.

“You agreed to a date with him???”

“It’s not a date, he’s just gonna buy me a drink, nothing more. I was thinking if I let him do this then maybe he’ll leave me alone.”

“If it’s not a date and you ‘don’t care’, then why did you need me to come over and help you pick out an outfit?”

“Because I haven’t been out with a man alone for a while okay?”

“You literally went out with Finn today.”

“I meant like a straight man.”

“No I think you meant going out as in going out.” 

“Ugh. Just help me figure out what to wear okay?”

“Just wear the black dress. It’s casual but you look hot in it.”

“Why do I have to look hot?”

“Because you clearly care about him in some capacity. I mean plenty of guys have asked you out since you-know-who broke up with you but you’ve never accepted any of them. Why this guy?”

You sighed and sat down on your bed next to Rey.

“I don’t know. He called me an enigma, something that needed to be solved. He swore he wasn’t viewing me as an object. I guess I found that interesting.” you said with a shrug.

“Well I overheard his conversation with Maz--”

“That’s who she was talking to???”

“Yes. But I overheard her asking for Ben’s last name. He said last names told the wrong information about people.”

“What the hell does that mean?”

“I have no idea. Maybe he belongs to a mafia family!”

“That’s about as crazy as saying he’s the lost prince.”

“...okay maybe you’re right there.”

Eyeing the clock above you bed you realize it’s 6:30.

“Hey he’s gonna be here soon so you should leave.”

“Okay. Be safe, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

You roll your eyes and walk Rey to the door.

“Have fun Y/N. You deserve it.”

You spent the next thirty minutes doing your makeup and hair and trying not to freak out over the fact that you were going out for drinks with Ben.

Hearing a knock on your door you freeze. 

Taking a deep breath you walk over to the door and open it to reveal Ben. He’s in his standard black jeans and boots, but this time he’s wearing a black button down, the arms cuffed to his elbows. His leather jacket is shucked over his shoulder. 

“Hi.” you squeak, slightly intimidated by how nicely he cleans up.

Ben is speechless. Sure you were just wearing a plain black dress with a denim jacket and some flats, but you looked gorgeous. The dress was short enough that it showed off you legs without being scandalous. To say Ben wanted more was an understatement.

“Hello? Earth to Ben?” you said, waving your hand in front of his face.

“Hi sorry I’m here. Ready to go.”

You nodded and grabbed your phone and wallet, shoving them into the pocket of your jacket.

“So where are we going?” you asked. You and your friends didn’t go out that much but when you did you stuck to more casual places. You were kinda excited to see where Ben was taking you.

“I heard that Lando’s is a pretty good bar. Nice reputation.”

Your eyes widened. You loved Lando’s. The last time you had gone there was for Rey’s birthday. It was a nice bar, but not too uptight. 

“Is that not a good place? Should I take you somewhere else?”

“No no! Lando’s is great. It’s just a little expensive for my pay.”

“I’m paying.”

“No you’re not. I’m a big girl, I can pay for my own drinks.”

“I know, but think of it as me making up for being a little bit of a dick.”

You smiled up at Ben. Maybe this night wouldn’t be terrible.

Hux shuddered as he sat down at the bar. When he researched drinking establishments in Varykino he decided to start at the most down to earth, laid back one, Fett and Son’s. He had spent almost two hours there and no sign of the wayward prince.

“Can I get you another scotch?” asked the bartender, making Hux jump a little.

“No. Here is what I owe you. Thank you.” replied Hux, throwing his money on the counter and sauntering out.

“What a dick.” said the bartender.

The night was going surprisingly well. Ben was actually really funny. His dry sarcastic humor melded with yours perfectly. You were laughing the entire time. 

“You know my father used to be a racer.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Drove fast cars and stuff. Gave me his old motorcycle.” Ben was about to tell her about Han doing to Kessel Run, one of the most famous races, in under 12 seconds but stopped himself. If he revealed too much you’d for sure figure out he was the Prince.

“You’d like my friends Poe and Rey. They always talk about driving.”

“Are you inviting me to meet the friends?” Ben said with a smirk, raising his beer to his lips.

“Maybe wait until after the second date.”

“So this is a date?”

Your eyes widened and you turned bright red. You’d be lying if you said you didn’t enjoy yourself. Ben was really nice and you had a lot of fun listening to him. He spared a lot of personal details, but that’s understandable, it was your first time properly hanging out. 

“Don’t push it.” you said, smirking back at him. 

“Well if it’s not a date then I guess I can’t kiss you goodnight.” he said with a sigh, signaling the bartender and handing over his credit card. 

“Maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get to kiss my cheek.”

Ben did a little fist bump hearing you say that. 

At first you were just a challenge, another woman to woo. Yet something about you intrigued him. You were funny, smart, sharp as a knife too. You could keep up with him, something he hadn’t found in a girl before. He genuinely enjoyed himself and was hoping to take you on a second --er first date.

Eventually the two of you walked back to your apartment and were standing awkwardly in front of your door.

“Don’t tell my friends cause they’ll never let me live it down, but I had a really good time.” you said, looking up at Ben.

“Promise.” said Ben, bending down and kissing your cheek.

You laughed a rolled your eyes.

“Ever the gentleman.”

“Would you like me to not be a gentleman? Because believe me, that can be arranged.” he said with a smirk.

“Gross.” you said with a laugh.

“I know you want me!” shouted Ben, walking away.

Shaking your head you opened your apartment door.

“HOW’D IT GO????”

You screamed. Sitting on your couch was Finn, Rey and Poe. 

“Seriously guys?”

“Hey I didn’t wanna intrude but somebody,” said Rey, looking at Finn. “insisted we see how you were doing.”

“Poe you’re a terrible influence on Finn.” you said, closing the door and shucking off your jacket. “And it went well. He’s not so much of an asshole actually.”

Before you could say more you phone went off. Furrowing your brows you picked up your phone and answered it.

“Hello?”

“Hey Y/N I know our date just ended but I really enjoyed myself and I don’t wanna come off as creepy but I wanted to know if you wanted to do something tomorrow night if you’re not working late.”

You laughed and shook your head. Finn mouthed ‘who is it’ but you just waved him off.

“Yeah I won’t be doing anything. This time I’m paying though.”

You could hear Ben’s hearty laugh on the phone. You could feel the butterflies in your stomach at the sound of it.

“Okay doll. I’ll pick you up from work.”

“I get off at 5.”

Hanging up the phone you were met with your three friends all with slacked jaws.

“What?”

“Y/N L/N. Woman of stone, heart of ice just said yes to another date didn’t she?” asked Poe.

“And what if she did?”

“Then Poe owes me money.” said Rey fixing the bun atop her head.

“You bet on my date?”

“I said he’d ask you out for date two before tomorrow but Poe thought it would take another day.”

“You guys are impossible.”

“Did he kiss you?” asked Finn.

“No he did not. And I did not want him to kiss me either.”

“Well I’m glad that you’re doing this. You really needed to get back out there. Just because he broke your heart doesn’t mean Ben will too.”

Sighing you flopped down on the couch next to them.

“Movie night since everyone’s here?” you asked.

“Duh!” said Poe. 

The next day went the same as usual. Ben showed up for breakfast, ordered waffles, tried to woo you (failed), normal customers came and went, you were teased by your friends about your new love interest. Nothing out of the ordinary.

When work ended you left the Cantina and went home to get ready for your second date with Ben. Around 7 you heard a knock on your door.

“Coming!” you shouted, running to the door.

Ben had his usual all black look on but this time with a more casual black t-shirt. You were in your favorite jeans and shirt. It was gonna be a casual date.

“I’m taking you to my favorite bar. And this time I’m buying the drinks okay.”

“Okay okay!” said Ben, lifting his hands defensively. “Jeez you be a gentleman to a lady once.”

“Welcome to Fett and Son’s!” you said, pushing the door to the bar open.

“Hey Boba!” you said, nodding at the bartender and sitting down at your standard booth.

After ordering your drinks and some snacks Ben bent down to whisper in your ear.

“Everyone is staring at us. Have you killed someone or something?”

“Haven’t killed anyone yet. Maybe it’s because I’m on a date with a mysterious guy who just showed up one day and nobody knows anything about him.”

“Well ask me stuff then. I’m your open book.”

“What’s your last name.”

“Uh uh. Last names give the wrong information.”

Furrowing your brows you repeated what Rey said.

“Are you in the mafia or something?”

Ben laughed that hearty laugh, the one that made your insides jumble.

“No. I just think that there are more important things in life than who I’m related to ya know?”

“As long as you don’t have a criminal background I’m okay with that.” you said, lifting your glass to your lips.

“I had a very sheltered childhood. Didn’t get out much. Spent most of my time with my parents and our dog. Both of my parents were really busy when I was younger so if I wasn’t spending time with them I was playing pretend in my room. When I got older I got into cars and stuff cause my dad. Eventually he gave me his old motorcycle to tune up and save. It’s my baby.”

Before Ben could tell you more about himself the door opened and you looked up. 

As much as Hux didn’t want to come back to an establishment like this, he knew that Prince Benjamin would end up here eventually, he had too much of his father in him not to. 

Your eyes widened at the sight of a familiar head of red hair.

“I spend most of my time own my own studying--”

“Kiss me.” you said, interrupting Ben.

“What?”

“Kiss me now. My ex just walked in and I don’t want him to see me.”

Ben started to turn before you stopped him.

“Don’t make it obvious!!”

Moving his head slightly Ben caught sight of Hux.

“Shit. I dunno who Y/N’s talking about but maybe I can hide from Hux if I do this.” thought Ben.

Ben pulled you into his lap and crashed his lips against yours. He was warm and tasted like cinnamon and cheap beer. You were intoxicated. The two of you molded into each other like your bodies were made to be together.

Hux scanned the room, eyes eventually landing on a Y/H/Ced girl making out in a booth with a tall man. Disgusted, Hux scoffed and roll his eyes. Maybe this was enough for one night. Turning promptly he left.

Opening your eyes you peered over Ben’s shoulder, not breaking the kiss. When you saw Hux leave you leaned back, breaking the kiss.

“Sorry I just--” you started.

“Kiss me again.” said Ben, his eyes shining with a twinkle.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review (FULL SPOILERS)

LAST JEDI SPOILERS

Bottom line, I saw The Last Jedi (twice now) and I think overall it's a pretty good movie but it also has a lot of glaring problems. I'm just gonna make a list of things I didn't like, things I liked, and criticisms of the movie that I think don't make sense.

This is going to be long and verbose, and no one's gonna wanna read it. So, here we go.

Things I didn't like:

- Poe and Finn's story lines are totally contrived. If the vice admiral had just told literally anyone her plan, none of that stuff with the code breaker and mutiny and all that would've happened, and the rebels wouldn't have been decimated. We could've shaved off like forty minutes of the movie.

- Finn, my favorite character from Episode VII, has almost no role in this story. Yes, he's on screen most of the time, but he's mainly a bystander, running around as people lecture him about the greater good and who he's supposed to be. In TFA, he was such an important character, providing Rey with the first positive relationship in her life and adding an element of humanity and relatability to the cast. His story is basically him listening to people talk, and then he does this grand gesture of almost killing himself, which quite frankly would've been really dumb when the movie did so little for his character to earn such a dramatic development in the plot. Also, why the hell weren't Finn and Poe just put together in this film. Rose was okay, I guess, but come ON. Finn and Poe.

- I don't know if this is controversial, because I haven't seen anyone talk about it, but I was very disappointed that the movie just ends up with Rey and Kylo Ren on the same sides as before. Rey felt like she was really earnestly making a connection with Ren and she was really earnestly tempted by the dark side. I don't think it's unbelievable that she wouldn't turn, but it does feel like she was put on the spot to make a decision between light and dark at the last possible second. I would've liked to have seen her actually give in to Kylo Ren to set up a major conflict for the next film, or maybe even just her and Ren forge a new path together and leave both the First Order and Resistance behind. There was a LOT of build up to the connection between them, and seeing it thrown away so quickly felt very dissatisfying. This is something, though, that I think I can probably get over as time goes on, and plus I don't know what they're gonna do in the next movie. We'll see.

- The casino world was meh. Rose was nice but kinda meh. A lot of the humor was meh. A lot of the pacing was meh. A lot of the in-between-adventure stuff was meh. Some of the character arcs were meh. Phasma was meh.

Things I liked:

- Luke actually gets a freaking character arc in this movie that is meaningful and plays off of the expectations of the fans. He is not just another Master Kenobi or Master Yoda. He feels like a real human being who is flawed but also self-aware. He is stubborn and dogmatic, but also introspective and morally fibrous. He is wracked with guilt, but uses it as a stepping stone to overcome a new weakness and become stronger and happier for it.

- Luke, Rey and Kylo Ren's relationships all have great execution in this film. Their scenes together are dramatic, emotional, relatable and just plain good storytelling. You identify with all of these characters, and seeing them play off of one another lets you learn more and more about who they are, how they see each other, how they see themselves, and how that all changes throughout the film as a result of those interactions. It just plain works.

- We get some beautiful and much-needed fleshing out for Kylo Ren and Rey. Ren feels smothered and weighed down by the past, his mentors and his insecurities. He's trying desperately to overcome his weaknesses, kill off what gets in his way, and become his own man. Rey is struggling with a deeply set fear that she is alone, that she has no real family, and that she doesn't have a place set before her in the galaxy. They are struggling with opposite problems, and yet find common ground to connect over. Ren is a fantastic villain by the end of this film and Rey finally feels like a real, developed individual.

- The action was great. The visuals were great. Yoda was great. The performances were great. The drama was great. The themes were great. Some of the character arcs were great. The way the Force is explained and portrayed was great.

Criticisms that I kind of understand, but I think miss the point:

- "Luke acted completely out of character in this movie." Luke is a human being. He has flaws. He can change and experience new things and have new failures and get new lessons. He is not a pinnacle of benevolence, patience and wisdom. He demonstrates impatience, lapses in judgment and anger/hatred in every single movie. Luke becoming grumpy or considering killing Kylo Ren does not undo him as a good person. Him going through with killing Kylo Ren or refusing to learn anything/help anyone by the end of the film would have made him a bad person. He stews, reflects, learns and grows and it's a great part of the film.

- "Being able to smash through ships with hyperspace is dumb/you shouldn't be able to do it/why doesn't everyone just do it." A) It's Star Wars. B) It's Star Wars. C) Because it means someone commits suicide, you lose a gigantic probably really important and expensive ship in the process that you could've used for many years for other things, and now that there's a precedent for it, people will probably stop it before it happens again. It only worked this time because it'd never been done before and the First Order just didn't get what they were doing until it was too late. And if your complaint is that nobody thought of it before, then...your criticism is that this movie came up with a new idea? Not buying it.

- "Rey should've been related to someone important." Luke's related to someone important. Ben's related to someone important. How many of these characters need to be related to each other? Yes, there was build up that Rey had some important backstory, and then you find out she doesn't. That's the point. The film plays off of your expectations and does so in favor of making Rey confront what is to her a terrifying truth: as Kylo Ren puts it, she's a nobody and she has no place in this story. It's a legitimate insecurity that she has that she has to overcome. It's a far more interesting direction for the character than simply revealing that she's Kylo Ren's cousin or Kenobi's granddaughter or something. It's something new to the series and it makes sense both for the story and the character.

- "Snoke never got a backstory." Yeah, he didn't, and I get it. It's kind of annoying. But, you know, the Emperor never had a backstory until the prequels. Like the Emperor, Snoke was just a big, evil figure who was super important and had a lot of build-up, but ultimately was just a plot device for the character(s) to overcome (still like the Emperor). Yeah, we don't know how he seduced Ben, but we also don't know how the Emperor seduced Anakin (again, until the prequels happened). Not saying I loved this part of the movie, but it's, you know, nothing Star Wars fans should be unfamiliar with. And don't tell me there was tons of build-up for his backstory. Fans created that hype themselves. It was never even hinted at in the movies that we'd ever get elaboration on who exactly Snoke is.

This film is not perfect. But it's not terrible either. I get it if people think it's bad--I also think many parts of it are bad. But I don't get it when people say it's, like, the worst thing to happen to Star Wars ever. I think a lot of that hatred simply comes from the fact that Star Wars has been around so long, and has become so important to so many people, that it's become a bit of a double-edged sword. People love Star Wars, and they build a very personal attachment to it. But that also means that when Star Wars does something they disagree with or that doesn't align with how they personally interpret or connect to its story, they get really upset or sad or disappointed or like the world is ending. And I get it. I love Star Wars a lot, too.

But, come on, guys. Star Wars is a fantasy epic about space samurai flying around throwing lasers at each other. It's about drama and evil and good and relationships and magic and story, yes, but it's primarily, to me, about joy. I think a lot of people are letting their positive feelings for Star Wars become something ugly and mean, like Anakin turning to the dark side because of how intensely he loved his mother or Padme. There's a lot to dislike in this movie, but I think there's also a lot to love. Whatever your opinions, a lot of love clearly went into the making of this film, and for me, even if we're inclined to hold onto the hatred, we should make an effort to embrace the love instead.

Because, you know what, it's not about fighting what you hate. It's about protecting what you love.

Ah, Valentine's Day

[[ The day people share love for one another, be it platonic, romantic or any other types of love. while I the mun do not really like Valentine’s Day like that, I want to just say a couple of things that deal with Jackie Chan Adventures, so this might be touchy-feely:

I want to start with my most talked about characters, the J-Team. I love their dynamic; teamwork, arguments, differences and essential character builds and how they grow to care for one another. The funny times are always the best kinds of times to me. While each member may not be blood related and come from different places and pasts, they are still able to get the job done and defeat the greater evil. There’s the caring attitude towards one another where they will fight to save the other and essentially put their own life on the line if anyone fights them i’m fighting them

Then there’s the Enforcers. They are one of my favorite ride-or-die cartoon buddies of all time. I love ‘em to death! They win and lose together and have great bonding moments. They grow and learn from their mistakes (sometimes through bruises). If one doesn’t like something, they all don’t like it. if a character tries to disrespect them i will fight them. They have flaws as villains and yet, still have some heroic qualities and aren’t as harmless as a demon. They aren’t the best fighters but will still attempt to do some damage if someone tries to come after one of them. Finn, Ratso and Chow have helped me see that villains can be cool people. They are like the middle men. Yeah they did bad, but I also kinda feel bad for them bc of how shitty a majority of their magical masters were to them. Like these guys have been through so much, they need a raise from life for going so far. That, and I’d totally hang out with them at the cafe for donuts and coffee. ^_^

Finally to the villains. I like Tarakudo and his respectfulness towards others, even if they aren’t on the same side as him. He is also a cool villain i wish there was more of him in the series, like a part two of Ninja Twilight. He’s pretty convincing on getting people to put on masks and have their own army of shadowkhan. Like if I had come across a mask and Tarakudo was there egging me on, I most likely would’ve done so XD. I love how calculated he is and how he knows what he’s doing, how to do it and the events that follow if things look like they will head south. I like how he doesn’t boss the Enforcers around as much as the other villains which honestly is a relief. out of all the main bad guys daolon wong and i are going to box That joke he made about the drums and cymbals was simply brilliant. His dry-humor is funny. Tarakudo is just so awesome man :)

My second is Drago. When I first saw him, I’m gonna admit it; he is attractive but practically everything else he did was a huuuge no for me and discredited him quite a lot. Over the years, I’ve come to realize how… clever and smart Drago is. He’s done some growing on me, so much in fact I enjoy teasing him sometimes a lot of times. Now don’t get me wrong; Drago still is a villain, has flaws and unanswered questions whos da mommy but still, he’s quite the formidable demon we still gotta to fight on account of the enforcers tho. I can respect him for that the only thing I wished for drago to do is to think ahead before marching in hands blazing and getting mad when his plan epically fails Before I didn’t think much of him, but now I see how determined he was to make a name for himself. He’s changed tactics so many times; went solo for a while, moved HQs, fired the Enforcers while i was sad at this if Drago wants to have a better chance of taking over the world he cant use them as henchman, got all the demon chi, attacked Uncle’s shop etc. The only thing that still gets me is Drago’s puns no like Drago why

Now on me.

Jackie Chan Adventures first premiered when I was waaaaay too young to remember much, so I’ll be speaking from the first time I re-watched it on Netflix in the summertime, when I was 12. Like what made me want to visit the show again was a short funny memory of when I was maybe 5 seeing a rerun of Jackie run down the side of the breaking building (Tough Break) on the Kids WB network and I remember I laughed uncontrollably at the TV. Somehow, this popped into my head when I saw the JCA cover for Netflix, which made me start the first episode.

At that age, I was pretty impressionable, naive and painfully shy. A good part of my life was spent being by myself because I got bullied a lot. It was pretty terrible. I didn’t know much about the outside world, how to interact with people and got culture shocked a lot. As a result, I was a pretty close-minded and ignorant kid fed knowledge about the world and the people from my parents (mainly mother) who are superstitious and biased about a lot of stuff and believed it. That all changed when I finished Jackie Chan Adventures (though it took a while for me to teach myself to unlearn the wrong things I believed). While I may have not learned about how to open up and how to interact with people, I learned so much like history, mythology, other countries and their cultures in it. This either came from the show directly, through my own research and sometimes both. My brothers were with me and dealt with similar issues when it come to school, so it was always fun to talk to about what one discovered from the show.

For me, watching Jackie Chan Adventures is kinda like how people describe reading; it was a new experience that probed me to ask questions about the world and be curious about the things I didn’t know, like other languages, countries, people and cultures. In a way, it made me feel proud of my own heritage, even though JCA and I have… different cultural backgrounds, I say. The mythology is soooo interesting to me. I would get lost in hours of surfing on the internet of chi, the Chinese Zodiac, the Bagua etc just because I wanted to know more! When I was younger, I used to read a lot of mythology but I got picked on a lot for it, so I stopped. But seeing JCA again has greatly re-awakened it.

Last but not least, I have a never-ending love for the friends and RPers I’ve met online, even the ones that have moved on and are long gone. You guys are literally the greatest! You guys put up with me in my bad times, my good times, when I went ghost and most likely all the annoying times of blowing up your timeline for no reason. It’s lonely being the only one in my real life into JCA, so it’s nice to see other people’s views, sharing brilliant ideas, the interesting theories, the OCs, videos, cool memes, great screencaps, RPs, jokes, amazing artwork, awesome fanfics and so much more across the Internet. I had honestly thought I was the only one who knew about JCA, so I can say that I’ve really hit the jackpot online! It’s so fun having Jackie RP with you guys and witnessing the shenanigans come from it. :D

Now it might annoy some how much and how frequently I talk about JCA and how it seems like I’m annoying and I never shut up about it but I don’t care! i mean this is an ask jackie chan blog which serves as my main soooo. If someone gotta problem with me expressing myself and what I love online, then they can come fucking fight me! JCA has saved a special place in my heart and I doubt it’ll ever go away soon.

That is all :D ]]

Tama Tonga NSFW Alphabet

Because he’s a shithead. I still love him though

This was inspired by @roman-reigns-princess and @running-ropes (I can’t seem to tag that blog though)

Tag List: 

@sammiielli @geektastic1100 @fuckyeahtamatonga @theelitevillian @wwesavedme @dorkyvillain @imaginarydreamz @imnobodiesbitch @kazuchika @spot-of-bother  @edgeoffire @tvrnbvckle @wrasslesmut @wwesmutdonedirtcheap @wwesmutandstuff @lavitabella87 @sailoralderaan @lexis-the-stick-figure @leakees @leelakoiwolff @balorsomega @baleesi @balthazarstardis @spine-buster @nahmooste

A: (Aftercare - what they’re like after sex)

He’s a total cuddlebug. After he’s got a chance to come down from the high a bit, he’ll (gently, of course), pull out then go get a washcloth to wipe you off then make sure you’re okay (he’ll do so by asking repeatedly if you’re alright.) He’ll also wrap his arms around you and pull you close so you can rest your head on his chest. Some nights, though, he’ll probably fall asleep right after.

B: (Body Part - their favorite part and their favorite part on their partner’s body)

He actually loves his entire body. Man doesn’t spend 5 days a week in the gym for nothing. His favorite part on you is your legs. You might hate them but he loves them, especially when they’re wrapped around his waist in bed.

C: (Cum)

He loves seeing his cum on you, especially on your tits and stomach. He also loves to cum inside you (only if you let him - the rest of the time, he’ll wear a condom (safety first, kiddos!)) He really, really likes seeing your cum on his fingers and if he gets you really excited, it gets in his beard - that drives him crazy in the best way.

D: (Dirty Little Secret)

He would never admit this out loud and if you tell anyone, he’ll be pissed, but he would totally be down for a three way between you, him, and Finn. Hell, he’d probably get off watching Finn fuck you.

E: (Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

This wild Tongan is definitely experienced. Remember when he first got to Japan and was pretty much partying all night, every night? He wasn’t just drinking and having a good time with Karl and the Good Brothers of the Club, if you know what I mean. 

F: (Favorite Position)

He looooveeesss doggy style. Mostly so he can smack your ass and pull your hair while he’s fucking you from behind. He also loves you on top so he can grip your waist as you ride him.

G: (Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc))

He’s kinda silly at times - I mean, have you seen his comedy matches? He’ll have your sides splitting with laughter at times. Other times, he’s rough and dominant but he’ll always make sure you get off first.

H: (Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.))

His hair may be a bit wild and fluffy when it’s dry (hey, curly hair is a bitch at times - I speak from experience) and he keeps his beard trimmed. He also shaves everything else.

I:  Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

There are some nights when all he wants to do is “take it slow just as fast as he can” (thank you, Sam Hunt for that lyric) and he’s very romantic and intimate with you. Other nights, he’s ready to rumble and that means being a little rough and dominant with you, so don’t wear anything you’re gonna have to replace later.

J: Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

He’s the type that will jack off if he absolutely has to (meaning if you’re not around or can’t answer the phone when he’s in Japan), but most of the time he’s fine if he doesn’t do it.

K:  Kink (One or more of their kinks)

As mentioned earlier, he would be down for a three way but won’t act on it. But he does love seeing you tied to his bed with a blindfold on. Definitely is into spanking, especially if you decide to be a brat in bed. If you tell him yes, he’ll also choke you a little - not enough to make it unbearable, but enough to make it good. He’s also the type that will edge you while in public; just enough so that you’re raring to go as soon you get some alone time.

L:  Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Heh heh. He loves fucking you in his bed but his favorite place to do it is in the living room - the danger of someone walking in at any moment is enough to turn him on. He, and don’t tell his brother this, actually fucked you in his brother’s bed once and he giggles like a maniac sometimes when he thinks about it.

M:  Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

You, basically. He loves seeing you in anything, everything and nothing. When you’re at the gym and you’ve got those black yoga pants on, when you’ve got a little red dress on for a night out, that yellow polka dot bikini at the beach, just his tshirt (that’s his absolute favorite thing to see you in, especially when you’re wearing absolutely nothing underneath), and of course, when you’re naked in his bed.

N: NO  (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

He’s not going to be overly rough with you and certainly won’t degrade you in any manner - his mother (and pretty much his entire family) would kill him; so he won’t leave any bruises and stuff on you - quite a few hickeys though if the mood strikes.

O:  Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

He loves receiving, but he really, really, really likes giving. It’s like his third favorite thing to do to you in bed. He’s super skilled at it, as well - all that time in Japan has certainly taught him a few things.

P:  Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Both. He’s into the slow and sensual route some nights, and definitely up for a rough and tumble session.

Q:  Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

He is down for a quickie or two. There was that one time in the locker room in Japan when he was supposed to be painting his face - his brother couldn’t look either of you in the eye for like three weeks after that.

R:  Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Again, the quickie in his locker room that one time. Most of the time, if he’s feeling particularly devious (he’s not named the Bad Boy for nothing, after all), he’ll get you going in public and then when you two are alone, all bets are off.

S:  Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Boy, oh boy, does Tama have stamina. He can definitely go quite a few rounds and during his cool down periods, his time is spent with either his head between your legs or his fingers between them while he’s making out with you.

T:  Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

He doesn’t own any for himself but he does have quite a few for when you come over. He likes using them on you, particularly a nice little vibrator when you’re tied up in his bed. Most of the time, he prefers using his hands and mouth on you.

U:  Unfair (how much they like to tease)

This motherfucker is a total fucking tease at times. When you two are on a date, he can’t help himself. He’ll slip his hand under your dress and tease you til you’re wet. When you’re just hanging out with his friends, he loves having you sit on his lap so he can grind against your ass a bit. When you’re in bed, he’ll tease you relentlessly til you’re begging for it.

V:  Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

He’s got a dirty mouth and when he’s getting close to climaxing, he’ll for sure let out a string of “fuck’s.” Most of the time, though, he’s talking dirty and telling you how beautiful you are. On the slow nights, he’ll ask if you’re alright a lot.

W:  Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

He loves waking up next to you in the mornings. The feel of you in his arms makes him feel a little tingly inside. He also adores taking you out dancing or watching you do anything - he’s a total sucker for you.

X:  X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

If those tight pants or those Sleefs he wore last year for G1 don’t tell you anything, idk then, bub. He’s a pretty good size - not too big and not too small, definitely not average though.

Y:  Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Boy got a sex drive like no other. When he gets home from Japan, he is allllll over you for days at a time. He’s got a decent cool down period, but once that time is up, he’s ready to go.

Z:  ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He tries to wait until you fall asleep before doing so himself, but if he’s just home from Japan, he’ll probably pass out right after. Same if he’s in the rough and tumble mode.

hey y'all, don't mind me. I'm just.... sayin some crap. I posted this on fb the other day and got good responses so I figured I'd post it here too. I just keep seeing people complaining that Luke's character got destroyed in the Last Jedi due to a certain thing it's revealed he almost did in the past. I disagree. here's why:

btw there are definitely spoilers in here bc I discuss a lot of big moments in the movie so don't read til u see the movie. also this was originally written in response to a comment thread with someone, but I ended up not posting it. so it may seem a bit out of context bc I don't really feel like editing it a lot lol

the Luke we know and love struggled with the dark side. when provoked by the emperor, he even gave in to it and attacked Vader and tried to kill him with terrifying hatred. yes, he eventually regained control, but he still gave in and tried to murder his father. even in Legends continuity Luke gave in to the dark side for a time, and became the resurrected emperor's apprentice. no person ever struggles with the dark side only once in their life. its a constant struggle, and Luke even said in the movie that it was a passing thought that floated by him. immediately afterwards he saw in Ben's eyes the fear and hurt at his master's betrayal. and he paid for his doubt. he calls this moment out as his greatest shame. that's the reason he exiled himself. not because Kylo destroyed what he built, but because he failed his nephew and disgraced himself. it's not character assassination. it was showing that he's a real person. not the legendary Luke Skywalker that everyone worships. yes he was tempted again. more tempted than he ever has been since the death star. but he won again. Luke is still the same man that in the end, no matter the temptation, will always be a force for Light.

as for Rey's parentage, she was never specifically intended to be Luke's daughter. if she was intended to be anyone at all, there was evidence for a number of people. part of this could have been wishful thinking and her looking for her parents, but it could have been nothing at all. there were even theories, and hints to support it, that she's palpatines granddaughter. so don't be so set in her being Luke's daughter. there are tons of hints at other things. and even then, in a recent interview, Johnson has even said that the reveal could have been only what Kylo saw. Kylo could have been mistaken. he believes it and for now so does she, but he could have been wrong. personally I hope she is Rey Random. but this very well could have been something to throw off the scent. or just something Kylo said to hurt and manipulate her. as for the similarities to Luke, they were trying to be nostalgic, not specifically hint that she's his daughter. she's his successor, even if not by blood.

now, just so u don't like I'm loving the movie blindly; my critiques:

the humor was pretty out of place imo. it was all hilarious. and I was laughing pretty hard. and I loved it. but I just don't feel like "can you hear me now" and "your mom" jokes are very "in universe", if that makes sense. I had this issue with TFA as well. it's becoming tradition for Poe to kind of break the tension early on with a "who talks first, u or me" and "hi is this Pizza hut?". which again. is hilarious. but im still not a huge fan of it. speaking of breaking tension, I didn't like Luke throwing the Lightsaber over his shoulder. it was funny, but it's also a huge scene people have waited years for, that I wish they had kept it more serious. there were plenty of other opportunities for Funny Luke later on. and his "do you expect me to come in and save the day with my laser sword?" was pretty weird too. he makes a great point, but don't call it a laser sword. do they even have swords in their galaxy anymore?

and now just some nitpicky things: wasn't a fan of Finn and Rose freeing the space horses. I know people have been like ripping on their entire storyline, and I disagree on all that, but I just felt like their having a touching scene releasing the space horse was out of place and awkward. but whatever.

and the final scenes. Luke final battle with Kylo. they were lit af. only complaint is I wish he had used his green Lightsaber. I know it was meant to be some hint that something was up, and there are even already theories out there about some deeper meaning, but I was honestly just kind of disappointed we didn't get to see it.

and finally @ all the other big twists and stuff: L I T

(I was disappointed we didn't get to learn a bit more abt Snoke but tbh I don't think this is the last we'll see/hear of him)

reylo is a bad ship, but Kylo/Ben is probably my fave character. Rey is also great and doesnt deserve the crap people give her

that is all

EDIT: wasnt a huge fan of the way Leia was able to float back into the ship after getting blown up even if it was kinda cool.

BUT DID YOU SEE THE SCENE WHERE SHE WAS LOOKING OVER HER COLLAR???????

EDIT 2: linked below is a very very very very very very good video. only thing I would add:

if Luke did physically come back for an epic Lightsaber dual with Kylo, there would only be 3 outcomes possible. 1, he kills Kylo. leaving no future antagonist, and ruining any Rey / Kylo dynamics. 2, they fight to a draw, Luke escapes anticlimactically, and people complain that Kylo was on par with Luke, and 3, Luke sacrifices himself the same way Obi-Wan did to Vader, and people complain that they just re-hashed Obi-Wan's death.

okay, challenge time. thoughts on sami/dean/finn. i want DETAILS.

this is…….a cursed ask peggy.

putting it under a read more bc this got very very long!!

so sami/dean? great. finn/dean? great sami/dean/finn?????? that’s some fucken….next level shit okay….how can we even fathom such a perfect trio….

- first thing’s first, i definitely think finn and sami would get along more naturally. they’re close friends irl and they’re just more similar. deano’s the odd one out in this but never fear!! they make it work!!!

- dean is….confused?? like how the fresh hell did he end up with two absolute angels when he sees himself as….a problem child at best. i hate to get edgy (no i don’t) but while i don’t think dean has self-esteem issues, i think he has self-worth issues if that makes sense?

- to clarify i think like,, he doesn’t care what people think of him (obviously) and he’s confident in his abilities, but he doesn’t see himself as a good person. i mean he’s referred to himself as a scumbag on more than one occasion, and let’s not forget “my whole life was a mistake anyway” line. so i think, being in a relationship with people as seemingly perfect as sami and finn might be initially tough for him.

- sami, being a sweetheart, constantly wants to reassure dean. he’s the best at reading other people’s feelings, so when finn’s kinda oblivious, sami knows to step in. he tries his best to not be obvious about what he’s doing, but he acts extra affectionate and clingy around dean when he’s in a low mood to let him know he’s loved.

- finn and dean aren’t super huge on pda, so when it’s just them two it’s mostly rigid “i wanna express my love for you but idk how”. sami’s pretty good at initiating it but despite him being affectionate i don’t think he’d be super into pda either. he mostly just does whatever dean and finn are comfy with!

- that being said, sami knows with finn it’s more a matter of “idk how to handle pda” than “i don’t like pda”, so you can catch him casually slipping his hand into finn’s while they’re out doing stuff. with dean it’s more tricky because he just feels….weird about it. he feels self-conscious no matter how subtle the touch, he’s much more chill about it in private. 

- they love going to parks!! it suits all of their needs tbh. dean being dean, can’t sit still and hates being cooped up, so a nice open space is good for him. sami loves being ~at one with nature~ and sunshine and just generally living his life out in the world, and finn…well he’s happy with whatever makes dean and sami happy. i personally think he’d love taking pictures of them having fun like a doting parent. 

- hiking is also a thing they love, but most of the time it’s dean dragging sami and finn out. dean loves it, whether it be rocky terrain or in forests. he has seemingly endless energy when it comes to that stuff, and he kinda comes to life on a bad day. dean just likes to be outside, point blank. sami and finn are usually the ones in awe of the landscapes and posing for pretty pictures while dean experiences some spiritual shit.

- dean is all over sami and finn’s social media. instagram, twitter, you name it. their accounts are full of strange off-guard pictures of dean (finn’s personal favorite thing is posting a blurry picture of him with the caption: cryptid spotted 👀 ) even the pictures where dean is expecting it he just seems…..off-guard. he usually poses with a hastily thrown-up peace sign and wide eyes, and he has no idea all these pictures are ending up on the internet.

-dates are always a weird mix of things for them. finn likes traditionally “simple” ways of spending time together like playing board games, or building things (cough cough legos). they all get pretty invested in it tbh. games of jenga can last hours if they try hard enough, that is until dean loses his patience and absolutely destroys the thing, bc of course he would. they also watch a lot of movies, but it’s usually obscure ones that finn and dean are super into while sami just kinda watches to humor them.

- sami likes to do romantic things for dates. they go out to dinner a lot, but knowing dean he doesn’t always make it fancy. he and dean are both fans of upbeat places with a fun atmosphere. they order a lot of food, and dean and finn are most definitely the kind of people to write their names on their to-go boxes to ensure no one eats from them. sami, on the other hand, really doesn’t mind and is generous with these two greedy boys.

- when it comes to dean, dates are a wildcard. anything that can catch his attention for more than 3 seconds is worthy. they’ve done some ODD shit together. i’m talking visiting a cheese factory, a dinosaur museum (finn especially appreciated that), amusement parks, visiting a psychic, tank driving, deep sea diving, etc. he doesn’t know what he’s doing, but he tries his best. 

- group naps are a very common thing. they’ve got a busy schedule, so they try to squeeze in rest whenever they can. they usually share a room, and sleep is the time where all guards come down. dean and finn become totally comfortable and there’s nothing awkward about it when sami initiates contact. they all kinda lump together, even when it’s hot, just because it’s reassuring to have everyone there. especially for dean, who doesn’t have the best relationship with sleep. finn is super touchy-feely in his sleep without realizing it, and sometimes he’ll wake up completely draped over sami or dean (usually sami, bc dean moves around too much)

- all of them being wrestlers definitely helps their relationship, and their road trips from city to city are always a blast. they take turns driving, but dean slacks off the most because he gets tired more than anyone. he’ll doze off in the car while mumbling lyrics to the shitty music he insisted on playing, then he’ll fall asleep again at the hotel. sami is most definitely the kind to point out the cows they pass up, and finn will gladly stop on the side of the road to get a closer look at them. they also give up on having proper meals while traveling, so catch them leaving gas stations with a mountain of junk food in their arms. 

- this one is a more biased headcanon but, i like to think sami teaches finn and dean words in arabic or french sometimes! dean will naturally ask him about all the curse words there are, and he sounds absolutely ridiculous trying to pronounce them. he and finn eventually get the hang of a lot of expressions though, and they start to use them casually with each other. finn might shout “yallah!” (come on) when they’re late for something, dean will gladly call anyone and everyone a “hmar” (a donkey, which is a v rude insult in arabic). 

- dean thinks arabic music? absolutely bangs. he gets really into it and asks sami to start playing it on road trips to keep him awake. bc a majority of arabic music is pretty…intense and party-inducing so good luck dozing off to that. 

- kisses! finn is personally the biggest fan of kisses amongst them. sami prefers long hugs and dean just likes leaning on others or resting a hand on them. finn kisses sami’s cheek a lot, he thinks his cheeks are adorable. he kisses dean on his forehead a lot because he came to learn that’s what he likes. dean gives forehead kisses a lot too so sami and finn decided that’s what he was most fond of. 

-kisses on the mouth from finn are usually short, but he almost always puts his hand on sami/dean’s neck when giving them one. he kinda pulls them forward a bit then pulls back quickly. 

-dean really likes giving neck kisses, not even in a sexual way he just kinda dips his head there because he likes the reaction. he also might nip their ears a lot bc…he’s dean and he’s a feral child. 

-sami’s kisses aren’t as common since he’s more of a hugger, but when he does give kiss it’s long and sweet and usually leaves dean/finn surprised and breathless. sami’s a charmer and a smooth criminal B) 

- dean really loves sami’s tummy! he already loves resting on people and sami’s presence in general is just so comforting and warm, so of course he loves sami’s stomach. he likes to rest his head on it and feel it rise and fall softly. for finn, dean loves his shoulders. he thinks they have a nice shape and his head fits there perfectly in his humble opinion. 

-finn likes sami’s general softness, and his stomach fits right in with that, but sami’s cheeks are still his favorite. he loves their roundness and how much bigger they get when he smiles. as for dean, finn really likes his arms. they’re muscular but in a subtle sort of way, and his hugs feel nice despite their rarity. 

- sami really likes finn’s hands. he likes how they look delicate, but also have underlying strength that’s apparent by the veins. sami’s favorite thing about dean is his crooked nose. it’s a silly thing, but he thinks it gives him character. he also loves dean’s dimples but, who doesn’t??

- dean usually feels like he’s being babied by finn and sami, which is a strange feeling. he’s used to only looking out for himself and not depending on anyone, so he’s reluctant at first. he especially feels bad because he doesn’t think he can give anything back. they try to assure him that his presence is enough, but dean doesn’t think so. he sometimes does random acts of kindness to show appreciation in any way he can, and finn and sami are always touched. 

- finn is a sweetheart like sami, but he has a less natural way of going about it which puts him in between dean and sami on the spectrum. he’s not as good as picking up on cues, so it takes him a bit to catch on and realize how sami or dean may be feeling. he immediately tries to make things better though, and he does his best to figure out their body language and mannerisms (especially sami, since he’s the best at hiding any personal issues) 

- sami is as close to an omniscient being as there is in this relationship. granted, he’s not perfect and he definitely misunderstands things sometimes, but he’s usually the best and handling dean and finn’s emotions. dean is more difficult than finn with expressing himself because he already feels like a burden on bad days, so talking about his feelings doesn’t really help. sami’s great at making dean and finn feel more relaxed about opening up, especially by letting dean know he just wants to hear his problems so dean can get them off his chest. sami’s definitely more proficient with the heart-to-heart stuff, but he’s so used to being on the receiving end that sometimes he doesn’t take his own advice and voice his emotions. 

- overall, they may have their rocky moments or times where they but heads, but sami/dean/finn is as close to a perfect relationship as you can get imho. healthy, pure, and Good.

Star Wars - The Last Jedi thoughts

So I saw it last night and I have mixed feelings. There were things I liked a lot and things I didn't like at all, but overall, I think it was mostly a positive experience to me. Like, I didn't regret seeing it, I never was really bored, even though I rolled my eyes a few times and had instances where I had to exchange a suffering look with my mate, when seeing something particularly dumb.

I liked it a lot more than Rogue One, that's for sure but then again, all the prequel movies were better than Rogue One, so not a high bar to clear.

The movie definitely did have problems but Rey being a "Mary-Sue" wasn't one of them. As with most times, that term is thrown out a bit too easily for female characters and I honestly doubt that most people using that term would have applied it to Rey had everything been exactly the same but her gender.

It just didn't really feel like Star Wars at times, not the way TFA did. I think in that regard, TFA was the better Star Wars experience.

Well, to the more in-depth stuff after the spoiler:

- I think one of my biggest problems though, that I have a bit of a hard time understanding the state of the galaxy at the moment and who exactly each faction is and how many factions there even are, because both new movies really did a bad job at explaining things. Who exactly is who? There is the Republic but that one was destroyed in the last movie, kinda, but do they have nothing else left? Then is the First Order the new faction that has absorbed the old Empire bits or is it a different entity from them? I would think the former but honestly, the first movie kinda implied that the First Order and the Empire Remnants are different things. Also, why is the Resistance so ill-equipped? Did nothing from the Rebellion/Republic remain? Weren't they kinda in control for a good while? Why and how is the First Order so massive? And why was the movie behaving as if the First Order was constantly winning? Sure, the Resistance lost a good portion of their fleet and the Republic planets, but their fleet was nothing to write home about anyway, about a dozen ships if you counted the bombers, but hell, the First Order lost 2 of their dreadnoughts, one massive fleet with more than a few star destroyers, their starkiller base and the fleet around that and their supreme leader. Since I don't know the scale of anything, I can't tell if these losses have been devastating or something not even worth mentioning. Was this a "darn, lost two dreadnoughts. Oh well, let's roll out our other 60" moment or a " FUCK! SHIT! FUCK! WE LOST 2 OF OUR 3 BIGGEST SHIPS!" moment? It could be either one, seeing the potentially unlimited resources and manpower the First Order seems to have. At the same time, whenever we see a planet that isn't any empty battlefield, the people on that planet never really seem to give a shit about what is going on one way or another. So what's the deal there? Are the people of the galaxy so jaded about the Rebellion/Empire conflict that they are so done with it that they are just living their life and hope they won't get hit? Who is in control of what? I don't know and honestly, I doubt even the movie knows. All I got is that the Resistance lost a good portion of their people, maybe, but they have allies sorta waiting and the way these movies treat these kinda things, those allies could be anything from a full-fledged fleet of destroyers to a few junk ships with misfits and cast-outs. Say what you will about the Prequels, but they did give the GFFA a tangible feeling of scale and life. We saw how things worked there, we understood how different kinds of people lived in different places in the galaxy. We knew who was what. Sure, people joke about the taxation and border politic stuff, but honestly, at least it gave us something. I kinda knew how people on various planets lived and felt about the state of the galaxy as it was, whereas I have really no clue whatsoever about anything in these movies, except that the First Order is evil. - And while TFA was way worse in the sense of how it used time, this one also had moments where the timeline was questionable, to say the least. The excursion to the gambling planet, while I appreciated the message they were going for and I did actually kinda like that, the gambling stuff itself was rather meh, it didn't really feel Star Wars-y. It was just a 20s-30s casino with an alien paintjob, which was disappointing. - The movie's humor was a bit obnoxious as well. Most of the shoehorned in plushies can die in a fire, as can the humor that came with them. I could tolerate those ice pokemon on the last planet but those furbies which you can no doubt buy for 9,99€ at some point with Chewbacca were just obnoxious and broke the illusion for me whenever we saw them. That one weird alien pushing coins into BB8 was just dumb, for example. In general it seemed to me there were a few inappropriate for Star Wars moments in it, but then i remembered the things Jar Jar and R2 did in the prequels so never mind. - I too feel that Luke got a bit shafted and I can see why Mark Hamill would hated these things. I have a really hard time believing, that even for split second emotional reaction, that Luke Skywalker would have considered decapitating his sleeping nephew who at that point hadn't done anything yet. Luke wasn't really supposed to be jaded at that point. He was willing to give his father a chance in the face of the Emperor and I have a lot of trouble that he would even consider walking up to his sleeping nephew with his lightsaber on his person, let alone draw it "in a moment of weakness". What I would have believed is that after the Kylo debacle, that Luke would have been tempted to kill Rey, sensing the same darkness potential in her that he saw in Ben before he turned. That at that point, a Luke who lost his faith, sense of self and was plagued with doubt and guilt, would be tempted to do such a heinous thing. And that Rey would wake up, and see him doing that and would have served as a similar point of her hero falling from the pedestal, only it would have made more sense, imo. But not a Luke who at this point was by all intent at a good point in his life with a new jedi order on the rise, the galaxy seeming okay, his family being okay and all, that that Luke would even for a second have the notion that killing a sleeping family member is something he should do. - Similar to the factions thing, I think I would have liked to know a bit more on Snoke. I guess that we didn't really need to know anything more than that he was basically the Emperor for all intents and purposes but I dunno, I felt he fell short of that. The Emperor was initially like Sauron, in that even as barely as he appeared in the first movies, he cast a long shadow on the Empire and we felt that it was his will and influence that drove things, that behind Vader was an even bigger threat. Didn't really have that with Snoke. - Rey being a nobody. Don't know how fair that complaint is, since it is mostly because I had liked the idea that she would be a Kenobi. I do like the concept that it is the Skywalkers fucking things up/fixing things in the galaxy and Rey having been someone completely unconnected to that was a bit weird. Like, I got what they wanted from that, and fair enough, but I felt a bit let down. Things that I did like: - I quite liked the characters. I like the new characters Finn, Rey, Poe, Kylo and Rose. Didn't really care much for the hacker guy. That whole side-quest thing and resolution with him was just meh. I liked the Vice-Admiral and the lesson/conflict she had with Poe. That clash of vastly different viewpoints and the lesson that there is a time and place for everything and that you can't solve everything with grand actions and risky gambles was actually nicely done and I appreciated it. -The old guard was really great to see again. The robots didn't get a lot to do and I am honestly disappointed with how they used Chewbacca as he seems to have resigned himself to just be a follower. I had hoped he would take charge at some point, like he would tell Rey and others what to do in certain situations but he wasn't really active. I guess him not being able to talk English/basic is kinda the reason but dunno. Luke and Leia were of course great and had such a great presence that they always stole the show. Their scene together was great. Leia's dynamic with Poe was interesting and compelling, as was the Luke and Rey thing. The Rey-Kylo dynamic was a bit...difficult. It wasn't bad, it just was, I found the change that Rey underwent with regards to her opnion on Kylo a bit unrelatable. She got sympathetic to him a bit too fast, for not good enough of a reason. Sure, redemption is a good thing to seek and probably the reason why Rey got so force chosen to begin with, being the thing that Luke is no longer, but at the same time, I felt a familial connection would have gone a long way to explain that better. Like, if they had gone with the Jaina-Jacen thing in the books, or even the family relationship to the Kenobi's or something else. I dunno, it wasn't terrible but for Rey it felt a bit like too fast of a jump, from "you're scum" to "we all make mistakes and it is not too late for you". I get that she had a vision but come on. I also quite liked the Rosa and Finn team-up. It was interrupted by a bit of a lame humor at times but the perspectives they shared were interesting enough. And not going to lie, i really liked Rose's sister and was rather sad she died, would have loved to see more of her. - maybe a bit childish but I really loved that they finally used the activating/deactivating mechanism meaningfully in a fight. That was pretty neat to see. And while I think TFA had the best lightsaber battle scene in the whole star wars franchise, the battle against the Imperial Guards was a pretty good one. The lightsaber fights all around are handled excellently so far, in both movies. A lot more visceral and brutal than the jumping around in prequels but also more impactful and exciting to watch than the OT, where it was always more of just a conversation between the characters. Which wasn't bad or anything but the new ones were that as well on top of exciting and raw fights. That said, weird that Kylo forgot his ability to freeze enemies/things in place, but maybe he was too emotionally torn to use his fancier force powers. - Luke being all badass. Every AT-AT unloading on him and him just walking out, completely unphased was such an anime moment, that I kinda loved it, cheesy as it was. The twist there, that Luke was projecting from his backwater planet, was rather interesting. The force in general is used rather differently all around. - I actually liked the Yoda scene, was a great moment and when i first saw him, I was prepared to hate it but honestly, really good use of the character. He didn't look horrible either. - the space battles were fun enough.

-Luke dying was a bittersweet moment and I expected to have a stronger emotional reaction but I was kinda alright with it, the way it was done.

That's as much as I remember right now, probably some other things that I might recall later on. But yeah, overall, I didn't love it but nor did I hate it. It had its many, many flaws but it also did a lot of things well, so, overall sitting on a more pleasant experience than a bad and boring one like Rogue One but I can't deny that I was somewhat disappointed despite going in there with the expectation that it would be horrible. Apparently I didn't, and believed deep down it would be amazing.

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017) Review

“Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. That's the only way to become what you are meant to be.” While it certainly has its flaws it’s still a fine addition to the saga. The emotion really packs a punch this time around.

Premise: Set minutes after The Force Awakens concluded, Rey has come to Luke to train as a Jedi, but our old hero initially refuses due to his failure with Ben Solo/Kylo Ren years before and has abandoned the Jedi ways to live out his days in exile. Rey won’t give up that easily though. Elsewhere, with The First Order hot on their tail, The Resistance, whose numbers have been devastated after a counter-attack on D’qar, struggles to keep as many alive as possible. It is up to Finn, Poe, BB-8, and a mechanic named Rose to save them from total destruction and continue the fight.

Written and Directed by Rian Johnson (The Brothers Bloom, Looper, and a recently announced SW trilogy), The Last Jedi already is and probably will continue to leave fans divided for years to come. Johnson does make the film feel a bit different from other Star Wars movies, but I don’t understand why that’s a bad thing as many people have complained about it. It sure felt like an SW film to me. Even if you don’t like the movie, you can’t deny getting that special feeling when you see “In a galaxy far, far away” and hear that iconic music. It always makes me grin like an idiot. The film opens with an amazing opening space battle. Along with Rogue One, I’m happy to see the return of these in this magnitude. Yeah, you had them in the prequel, but they didn’t have weight like the did in the original trilogy and in this. A little side note, I’ve heard that people are having problems with the bombers dropping their payloads in space. Keep in mind that they could still be within the gravitational pull of D’quar. We’ve seen ships go down in other movies. Another possibility is that the ships have some sort of gravitational pull of their own due to their size. The most likely though is that some laws of physics don’t apply in this universe i.e. plot convenience. I don’t care about scientific accuracy in these kinds of movies but you know it won’t be long before Neil deGrasse Tyson rips it apart if he already hasn’t. Like Empire Strikes Back, this is much darker. Unlike Empire, there’s a lot of humor. Maybe I missed something but do the Porgs serve any other purpose than comic relief? Yeah, I laughed at most of the gags involving them, one in particular with Chewbacca trying to eat a cooked one. I’ve heard that a lot of the humor is forced. I have to agree and disagree. I agree that there’s humor placed in parts where you wouldn’t expect it, while other times it’s perfectly placed. There are some ridiculous parts even for a Star Wars movie, one of which you’ve probably heard about involving Leia. I’ll admit I did chuckle a bit. I think the characters are better written this time around. The relationship between Rey and Ben/Kylo escalates from TFA as it should. Again, due to the fear of spoiling anything, I can’t really go into detail other than that I thought it was a great dynamic. Ridley and Driver play well off each other. Another relationship I really enjoyed was between Finn and a new character, a mechanic named Rose. Finally, and most importantly is the relationship between Luke and Rey. Yes, it does mirror Luke and Yoda at times but I expected that and let it slide. Personally, I wasn’t as interested in their plotline as I was with the other involving Finn, Poe, Rose, Leia, BB-8, and the Resistance. Then again, that’s how I’ve always been with Empire. I wasn’t really interested in the Yoda-training- Luke aspect as I was with the Cloud City plot-line. It’s not that the training sequences in both are boring or anything. Please don’t me wrong! I’m not trying to bash these parts of the movies in any way, well OK, maybe with this one a bit but whatever. That leads me into what everybody is talking about and what everybody wants to know. Personally, I was fine with Luke’s story arc despite hearing many negative things about it. Hamill himself said he didn’t agree with the direction of the character. To me, it wasn’t amazing, but it was passable with some great moments and not so great moments. Could it have been better? Of course. Do I like the now called Legends canon better where he has a wife, kid, briefly turns to the Dark Side, and does successfully restart the Jedi order? Yes, but I’ll take what I can get. His entrance is funny and a bit unexpected. A couple times I did wonder why they went with a certain thing (sorry, trying to keep this spoiler free) when a better thing could have been done. Hamill does great with what he’s given. You’ve seen in the trailers that the character is now a brooding middle-aged man with nothing to live for so that isn’t a spoiler but there are hints of the person he used to be, and it’ll put a smile on your face when they happen. This might be a spoiler but there is a character from the past six films that returns as a Force ghost. I won’t give away who (a glance at the IMDb page will though), but the scene is very powerful and one of the best of the sequel trilogy so far. It’s a fantastic callback to the original trilogy. There are some amazing emotional scenes. We learn a bit more about Rey and I loved the reason behind why Luke abandoned the Jedi and failed Ben Solo. Was that in TFA? If not, sorry! It’s been a few months since I last watched it. Benicio Del Toro’s performance as DJ is a bit over the top, but I didn’t think he was as bad as people made him out to be. Del Toro is known for doing that kind of stuff. He’s somewhat of a replacement for Lando, who by the way is absent from this even though he would have right in on the casino planet, Canto Bight. I did like DJ as I felt his character was developed and I’m hoping we’ll see him in the next movie. I would have liked to have seen more of Dern’s character; Vice Admiral Holdo. Another character I wanted to see more of was Phasma. There’s much more to this character but her only reason for being in these movies seems just to kick Finn around. We do see 3PO in this a lot more and he delivers some hilarious gags. He’s one of the few original characters who hasn’t changed since the original trilogy and I’m perfectly fine with that. R2 is in this much more than TFA but I still wanted more of him. BB-8 is a great droid and I love him, but nothing can beat the R2/3PO duo. Another issue I have is that some characters who you think are going to be an integral part of the continuing story are snuffed out. It’s not that these characters don’t serve their purpose though. Now with my issues. As you’ve seen in the trailers, we somewhat get the Battle of Hoth again. Little side note: The Walkers in this one are neat but I got a sort of Cylon-vibe from them. I understand the red vision screens. As with The Force Awakens, there are sequences that are ripped from past movies and slightly altered. The good thing is that they’re not as prevalent and overbearing but it does follow the overall plot of Empire i.e. good guys weakened, bad guys back on top. But in short, there is still more originality here than in TFA. You know the whole dark side and light side of the Force and that characters struggle with it. It’s vastly overdone with Ben Solo/Kylo Ren in this to point where I was somewhat confused. It kinda works, kinda doesn’t. I like Domhnall Gleeson but he isn’t as good as Hux this time around. His acting just seemed weaker to me. His character is whinier but it is amusing to see Ren and Snoke Force-beat the crap out of him every now and then when he is complaining. Most of the other acting on the other hand to me (something I really don’t that much attention to) was fine. There is a sequence that could have been cut down due to how slow it goes with literally nothing happening. It’s not a breather from the action. I’m definitely going to fast forward through that when I get the Blu-ray. Johnson has said that he cut some full sequences. Hopefully, we’ll see these in the deleted scenes. Concluding, I’m gonna say the dialogue could have been better, but I do say that a lot. In final, I understand why people aren’t happy with it. You’ll find out why. Personally, I enjoyed the heck out of it. Decent performances, enjoyable humor, some unexpected but welcome turn of events, cool lightsaber fights, awesome space battles, halfway decent ground battle, and a fantastic ending. Also, yes, I am biased when it comes to Star Wars movies. I’m probably gonna like whatever this franchise puts out at least to some extent no matter what. I’ll always enjoy the original trilogy over anything and I don’t like some of the changes by Disney but that’s OK. Score: 7.9/10

Morty(RM):

He has a crush on Jessica and maybe even dated her before this.

Rick cares for him and is very critical of whoever he (Morty) expresses feelings for.

Mabel is playful and flirty with him which makes Morty feel good and laugh, they would have fun together. They probably won’t wind up dating in the end.

Dipper is very critical of him (Morty), he (Morty) tries to act like Rick in front of Dipper in defense of these criticism.

Steven is very hyper and sweet, he’s seen some dark shit and has worked through it unlike Morty. Steven helps him (Morty) come to terms with what he’s seen and done and makes him a more positive person.

He (Morty) never met any smart girls before (for some reason he’s been surrounded by idiots his whole life, well other than his Grandpa Rick) He thinks it’s nice to get to know a pretty and smart girl like Connie. He doesn’t care if they like each other in a romantic way or not, he could live with either way.

Morty can’t really talk to Wirt even though they should be able to get along just fine he’s just too awkward around Wirt. He ends up just getting Wirt to buy him alcohol and shit.

Morty is shocked by how active Gregory is. He tries to brush it off and treats Gregory as a child. Gregory doesn’t really care but Morty feels like he’s somehow lying to himself as he tries to act as a mature role model.

Morty does not know how to approach Frisk, they have a sort of silent bond however bonding secretly other cute things (like unicorns and music)

He is inspired by Dib’s knowledge on aliens and such and shows him some other worlds so they can bond. That sadly is all they have, they can’t really bring themselves to talk about anything else.

Finn and Morty don’t really talk, they kind just awkwardly smile at each other and stay quiet when they have to walk together or something.

Marco has nothing that brings Morty attention to him. Morty doesn’t care to waste his time on Marco.

Star reminds Motry oddly of Rick. He kind of follows her quietly because of it.

Marco(SvFoE):

He was dating Jackie but they stopped seeing each other. They’re cool about it and are still friends but they have grown apart and don’t talk that much anymore.

He and Heckapoo are casually dating. It’s really chill and they are really playful with one another. When he brings her up he doesn’t seem too invested in the relationship.

Marco and Tom have such a love hate relationship.

Janna still treats Marco like a punching bag with her jokes. She likes him not that he cares, he doesn’t really see it.

Star is still his best friend, she is more honest with herself now and let him know how she feels. They aren’t as close because she’s very busy as a Princess but they are reconnecting now. He still thinks Star is the coolest girl he knows.

Mabel is very forward with flirting with him. He doesn’t mind and will even humor her with almost flirty replies.

Dipper and Marco nerd out together, girly boy bands, nerdy movies like star wars, and other crap they share a love for.

Steven is a little too goofy for Marco’s taste. He thinks that Steven is like the worse parts of Star.

Connie is cool. He doesn’t have any real feelings for her but he thinks she’s a cool person to talk to.

He listens to Dib rants and thinks Dib is smart.

Finn and him practice sword fighting and talk about past relationships and such.

Frisk weirds him out at first, he kinda gets into Frisk after awhile though.

He doesn’t really care for Morty. It’s nothing personal just doesn’t really Morty. He also thinks Morty is kind of a creep.

Wirt and him talk sometimes, both being actually matured unlike everyone else.

Greg is just a normal dude to him. He doesn’t really think of Greg as a child.

Star(SvFoE):

Tom and her use to date.

Janna and her have some weird sort of feelings that they have played with a little bit before.

Marco is probably the love of her life, but she’ll be fine with just being Marco’s best friend.

Mabel is sort of a mirror of herself so they get along pretty well doing some crazy shit together.

Dipper acts sweet to her but she doesn’t think much of it.

Steven and her just will sing and dance together, having personal parties and fun conversations.

Connie doesn’t really talk to her, must Star can get out of Connie is an “okay” here and there.

Wirt has the ID that provides her with her crazy desires.

Greg A fun kid in her mind.

Finn is a blonde adventurer who dates princesses, she’s kinda wondering what it’s like to date someone like that.

Frisk and her have silent nod conversations that are very deep and helpful.

Morty is cute and shy, nothing like other people she’s been around. They bond over cute shit and maybe share a kiss or som’thin’.

Dib is funny to her. She does like hearing about his love life though, but she likes hearing about everyone's love life.

Mabel(GF):

She became like besties with Pacifica, but then kissed Pacifica during a sleepover and everything became awkward. She claims she just kisses all her friends and kissed Dipper because he’s “her besties besties friend”

Bill after being rejected by the Pines boys makes a move on Mabel, who’s all like “fuck no”

She and Dipper do this fake flirting because they think it’s funny.

Morty is really cute, she kinda likes him. She’s open though.

Marco is super hawt, she flirts with him like crazy.

Star is super cool and she likes acting dumb with her.

Steven is super sweet and cool and she likes crafting with him.

She calls Connie Candy’s and Dipper’s child because she thinks that’s what a mix between the two would be like.

She ships Wirt and her brother.

Greg is sweet fun and cute, she let’s him have a crush on her.

Finn has long lovely hair that she likes to play with. He’s a doll.

Dib is nerdy and doesn’t get how to be social and she thinks that’s really cute (because it’s different from the awkwardness of the other nerd boys here) she likes to poke him.

Frisk is her sweater buddie.

Dipper(GF):

Wendy was his crush over the first summer.

Pacifica had a total crush on him. He kinda was cool with that, but back off when he saw Mabel liked her.

Candy and him would just be such a cute couple, but I probably won’t do anything with it.

Bill is a lusty jerk face demon. Dipper was going to fall for him till Bill’s proposition for a three way of him(Bill), Dipper, and Stanford.

Mabel is his beloved sister, he’ll put her above all else, especially after all his fuck ups in the past. He trust no one around his sister and her heart.

He thinks Morty is faking his nervousness so he can hook up with girls like Mabel. Dipper doesn’t like him at all. (He’s just protective and jelly~)

He looks up to Marco, like how he looked up to Stanford, because Marco is so cool.

Star reminds him too much of Mabel for him to bring himself to really like her or want to get to know her. But he also wants to write about her and her people in a journal because magic mystery stuff.

Steven is  a little too friendly for him. However they can relate with having trouble trusting people.

He can talk to Connie for hours and not feel weird about it.

Wirt is a sexy mature dude, Dipper likes those older tall people out of his league, what can I even say more about that?

Dib reminds him a little of Ronaldo.

Connie(SU):

Peedee and her had a small thing.

Steven and her are just friends, no longer having romantic feelings for one another. Or maybe they still have romantic feelings, who knows.
