Things in Zombies Re-Animated that I can't stop thinking about/just stuck out to me Idk part 2, Electric Boogaloo:

The moonies are just werewolf periods

Like. They're literally just werewolf periods Idk what to tell you-

That's not like, a BAD thing, I just think fucking werewolf periods is a wild thing to introduce to the lore of this series lmao

On a similar note, I made a whole separate post abt this but I'm very confused by werewolf family dynamics I want more lore for that

WYATT'S A RACCOON NOW DON'T GET CLOSE HE'LL BITE

Bucky's very slight redesign in the Halloween special is so funny to me- he looks. So so tired. And yet he's wearing hot pink wolf ears. That dichotomy is very funny to me-

I keep getting the song Ashley was singing along to in Teeny Witch stuck in my head smh

Probably bcuz I keep rewatching Teeny Witch for the Dae content...

Guys I love Dae she's so silly

She's one of the first characters I've ever seen who's actively described by the promotional team as "shy and quirky" who isn't the most annoying person on the face of planet

And her dynamic with Bucky is so fun- genuinely amazing choice to pair them up

Wyatt has so much more personality in the show than he does in the movies. I think he's one of the characters that's def benefited the most from the tv show format

The gag about Addison being obsessed with label makers is so funny omfg

I also liked it when Addison went insane in the woods in the Halloween special that was really funny

Basically I just like that Addison keeps randomly losing her mind in this show I think its a good recurring bit

BACK ON THE SUBJECT OF THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL- I think the writers forgot why the wolves were mad in the movies

"Sick of living in the woods" GIRL YOUR LIFE SOURCE IS LITERALLY DRAINING AS WE SPEAK I THINK THERE ARE BIGGER PROBLEMS AT HAND HERE

I'm also kinda disappointed that they're retconning Bucky being from Missy's side of the family. I think the idea of Bucky having some alien in him has a lot of potential, and I wish Re-Animated would capitalize on that.

The whole Paint it Blech episode was a fuckin MOOD

Also you can tell Meg Donelly was having so much fun voicing the lil stick figure guy lmao

I absolutely LOVE that we got a whole episode dedicated to Bree, Addison and Bucky omfg- we never actually got to see them working as a trio in the movies, since Bucky was like. The main antagonist in the first 2 and fucked off to hang out with the wolves in the 3rd. So I'm glad we're getting some of that here!

And since we ALSO got an episode dedicated to just the wolves, I hope we get one for the zombie trio in the future, too. We've gotten more of the 3 of them hanging out than we have of the main 3 cheerleaders, but it'd still be cool to get an episode on them :)

Unfortunately I don't think there's gonna be an alien trio episode... unless they decide to bring A-li and A-lan in for one episode and then send them back to the void with the 'aceys?

Which SPEAKING OF- I'm disappointed they fully replaced the 'aceys with just one guy...

Like I think I know WHY they aren't coming back, probably some combo of the writers not wanting to juggle 3 more recurring characters & the person in charge of budgeting not wanting to pay 3 more VAs, but it's still dissappointing

BRING BACK THE POLYCULE PLS I BEG

Also not to go into conspiracy theory mode... but Singular Acey seems really down bad for Bucky, and given that he's meant to fill the role of the aceys...

BACEY'S IS CANON IT'S CANON THEY'RE ALL DATING WOOOOOOO FUCK YEAH I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I am Delusional I am going Insane)

Bucky is unfortunately a mood-

I, too, am desperate for attention, annoying abt color theory to the point Ive gotten into fights about it, a lover of cool frogs, and won't stfu abt my pets

Wynter is also a mood but that's just cuz I have ADHD and she DEF has ADHD are you KIDDING ME-

Eliza making a version of the z-band to help Wynter focus actually really lends itself to the reading of z-bands as disability aids...

I think it's neat that Zed clearly still has strong oppinions abt the MLP rip off he watched as a kid. That is also a mood.

I'm starting to think that maybe everybody in this show is just a fuckin mood...

The depictions of siblings in this show, while not really a main focus, are really accurate lmfao

Also YES IM COUNTING ADDISON AND BUCKY FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

The interactions between Willa and Bucky in these episodes were all golden(even if they only interacted in like 2 of them-). I will never shut up abt how much I love them being friends.

It's funny how borderline photo realistic the Shrimpy model is

Okay that's it :)

[alitgblog]

okok finally caught up on litg s9

gonna try to summarize this neatly bc my game didn't save properly and I played volume 10 twice and sped through volume 11

Zeph is hot and thats a problem for me bc I'm so annoyed at the lack of branching and consequences in this game it has manifested into me making up story for fusebox about MC being upset that Stefan keeps acting like nothing is wrong when I personally am still upset casa amor got Chen dumped (ok that was my fault technically but only bc I wanted him to come back to drama). So now I'm like MC should have a summer fling with Zeph, why not

they're so wishy washy about how Kelly and Finn broke up and it just all feels like hearsay all the time. at the end of volume 11 they seem to decide Kelly thought it was all done pretty respectfully but her comments in volume 10 about movie night seem to disagree??? just asking for a little bit of consistency since I gotta track other people's drama other than my own

also so sorry to kelly who is actually interested in zeph and I am less so interested in him and more just annoyed at the bad writing for stefan

the writing has always been stilted and/or cringe but for some reason I notice it especially with Zeph, like it does feel like his dialogue was written by AI unfortunately. And it puts me off his character a lot, except, again, he's hot and so maybe I'm just like hey don't hurt your pretty head trying to think up romantic scenarios, Zeph. Something odd about him too is he doesn't mention any previous connection to Love Island, and I know he's a new character, but at least Henri and Chen talked about their last times on the show.

I'd like to apologize

I don't know what surprise we're getting next volume but for my own storyline I kinda want the guy dumped post casa to come back. like I'd go back to Chen easy. but this is my delusional ass still just hoping we get drama from casa bc they dropped the ball on it again this season. Curious about talent show but considering how they fucked up Mr Love Island I have little hope.

I forgot this meant we'd have to deal with eddie. hes there like Johnny/Nicolas to the point where I almost prefer if it was one of them around but at least his chaos run makes more sense than johnny/Nicolas just randomly deciding to stir shit out of nowhere after leading MC on and the game forcing us to couple with them.

Eddie pls stfu poor Kelly

said this before but if eddie was gonna show up for heart rate challenge why didn't he do a little dance? is it because he sucks as a bombshell??? YEAH. It makes so much more sense to switch him and Zeph, like yeah that would mean we have less time with zeph and more with Eddie, but Zeph could put on a good heart rate challenge performance and Eddie could be way more catty and start shit during movie night than Zeph who wanted to play nice.

I'm so sad to say goodbye to Finn because it felt like he didn't get a good chance (unless MC is pursuing him I guess). but compared to Hamish, who, even if he got dumped here, would've had a lifelong friendship with MC and Natasha and had multiple chances to couple with people, it feels sad to see him go without a good ending. I mean I guess he's got closure with Kat and Kelly, but he felt always stuck in those couples whereas Hamish tried to explore connections with Natasha, Uma, and Melissa. I just think we should've let him punch Eddie in the face after eddie was so mean to Kat and MC.

I've decided to watch the hamish route vicariously through yall and I'll go for wither zeph or Stefan unless something else wild happens until the finale. so yall better tell me what happens it was such a hard decision when the game narrowed it down 🥺

I also think it would be great if we had chats with characters to decide who we're sticking with. like this season aside from maybe the beginning henri/chen/MC/Melissa thing, it feels like one of the other girls always asks you "who do you want to be chosen by" and then you tell her and that person picks you, but then you never address it or outright reject the other person face to face. it's always just like two sentences or just "a sad look" or a gem scene I'm not paying for.

one positive thing I've seen this last volume though is the mini date with your LI before Zeph's date. like its one of the better scenes they've written that isn't just someone outright saying I like you or just chatting. like its fun, and the only other moment I can think of that's similar that doesn't cost gems is the Hamish eavsdropping scene. now if only this was also tailored to your LI because as someone coupled with Stefan, low key unexpected, but imagine if I had picked Henri??

also a lot more choices this volume were worth 10 gems I think

that being said the amount they're asking for in the heart rate challenge is crazy for literally one scene because MC's outfit is like 14+ gems, then you van go for am extra 10 to see your male LI's outfit, and then another extra 10 for the female LI outfit. and this hardly changes the gameplay or gives you more info 🙃

More fun things since I keep digging into this fandom, I'm sorry for the out of order rant in your ask box- Sorry, interrogation room T-T Theres a livestream made by robiirosie and this Vtuber talked a bit about the korean context of the Ivantill version of Oh My Clemantis, mentioning how Till's speech, in that context, is rather of someone quite comfortable with the other person, even though he keeps telling him to stfu There was a tumblr post as well regarding the translation of the song and how Ivan's part are actually much softer and less, you could call it "carnal" or "extreme" than the actual translation in the video, indicating that he's pretty much accepted the fact, a long while ago that Till, in his eyes, isn't feeling the same or anything at all towards him. We know that Till is a pretty heartfelt person from the little comics and little flashbacks etc, so he might very much, from all the context, end up feeling really bad after Round 6 Also notice how in Round 2, the shock collar Till wears looks like a noose, and how Till doesn't visibly wear one. Almost as if foreshadowing that Till was supposed to die, but since he doesn't Technically have a choice of even that (IVAAAAAN), the one who has "no collar" can intervene in that choice. Another food for thought: Notice how for Mizi, Till sings pretty much in English, but without Mizi, he sings in Korean. While composing the melody in Round 2, Till wears black, he probably was in a similar hard place, as he was shown without a guitar. It's interesting that he also wears black in Round 6. And the final thing I noticed, if you go and watch TOP 3, the order at the end is the following: Till and Ivan, Luka and Hyuna, and Mizi is the "winner". I believe, that since we already got Till VS Ivan... We're gonna get Luka VS Hyuna and Mizi remains the only one alive by the end of it all.

It's all good anon! I quite like investigating so whatever you have to show, I'd like to see (￣▽￣)b

I also noticed that for a very distanced duo, in canon Ivantill are very casual with each other (even when you never mind the times that Till isn't awake), and in the ivantill my clematis cover during the TalksvsListens.exe scene this is shown perfectly clear. I'm very confident in my take that Ivan and Till were very close friends when they were kids, and even though they're seemingly not as close anymore at the moment, they still carry a casual air around them, to the point where Till is still comfortable throwing jabs at Ivan like he did when they were younger (which isn't something he's shown doing in canon, much.) I'd even call the "man stfu" from Till affectionate if I didn't sound delusional so I'll just move from there

And yeah, Ivan is totally under the assumption that Till doesn't like him anymore in any sense (which is something i, *loud buzzer incorrect sfx* don't believe) My Clematis cover was kinda a mix of a goodbye and a "one more time.." song, with the way Ivan sung it. (one more time being, one more time trying to see where he stands in till's life. and Till is barely active in the last bits of the song when it actually counts, so in a way *figuratively* that was all Ivan needed to know)

And the collar noose symbolism omagah i could go on for ages not only did the noose show the intensity of Till's imprisonment in alien stage, so intense that it would(ve) killed him one day, (And in the way that his heart is disconnected from his head, he used his heart to go back to Mizi and therefore tie the noose disconnecting what he knew was right to what he wanted, all for her.)

And as you said anon, it also shows for some good symbolism/foreshadowing for Ivantill, Till always had that collar on, Ivan was always taking that collar off, Till was always meant to stay collared and eventually die, but as the one with the freedom, Ivan basically defied Till's fate for him and (metaphorically) put the collar on himself, taking Till's fate as his own. (I HATE YOU IVAN!!)

oh yeah and about the lyrics thing, truly Till could've just been feeling bilingual for the fuck of it while writing Till the end, but I'd like to read it as him putting up an image for Mizi, coordinating into someone who (not really) himself to impress her and his true self, but on stage with Ivan, they were there raw, authentic selves. there was nobody to impress (not anymore)

and so for the TOP 3 video holyyy shit. first of all, if you're onto something I assume Mizi and Hyuna would have to get caught and recaptured for that to happen, Till would have to get K.O. and then Hyuna will get her round with Luka as originally planned, she'll get K.O. then Mizi will go back up against Luka, win with the power of Yuri depression and be the sole winner. That's an interesting idea...but I don't know if it's a very likely situation? well, it kinda is since Hyuna is injured and the Guards are out trying to find them it's a strong possibility. (hell, maybe Luka will even work with alnst to get em back) Idk what to make of it, to be honest (To me, it does kinda just look like the original ordered pairs that Vivinos was foreshadowing but before Hyuna just left and Mizi took her place, Mizi is alone because she just finished her round with Mizi and now her bubble is broken so she's traumatized asl)

[silver-wield]

Can you do a deep dive/explanation on the newest Rebirth trailer? Because I feel like people are gonna be screeching "alternate timelines/worlds again."

Okay, I have some thoughts. Especially since people seem to have forgotten a few things. Like this isn't the first trailer.

This was in the first trailer, which also revolved around Zack's supposed survival. It also brings up Cloud's fragile mental state. We know he's delusional. We've seen it. Cloud dragging that sword to Midgar in CCR, EC and then being shown at the station with Tifa bringing him out of his zombie state, which the devs have said is canon to Remake.

If Zack's alive and dumped Cloud on Kyrie, and kept his sword, how did Cloud get it and himself to S7? And do people really believe Zack would dump Cloud on a stranger? Or is that something more in line with the pessimistic Cloud who believes eventually everyone will abandon him because he's just "not good enough"?

We're supposed to believe Elmyra is talking to Zack here because we can see her in the BG. She's not talking to him though.

As @enigmaphenomenon pointed out on twitter, nobody talks to Zack. Not in this trailer or any other.

Did we see Kyrie reply to his request? We did not. All we saw was Cloud's body fall on her, much like the black cloaks do when they're shambling around.

As for the key art, that's a metaphorical world being talked about, not a physical one.

And then there's the character intros that some people are taking as confirmation. Since when does SE drop huge spoilers in intros?

Zack being assumed alive is how they've portrayed him the entire time. That's part of the mystery that needs solving for Cloud to be whole. It's the same as calling Cloud a soldier when he isn't, and saying Biggs, Wedge and Jessie are dead when we were shown Biggs alive at the end of Remake.

You can't take that info at face value.

It's like when people said Jill is a sibling to Clive then stfu when it turned out they were suuuuuper wrong 🤣

All we know for sure is Cloud is delusional and believes and sees things that aren't true. He's the unreliable narrator, Sephiroth is the liar and Zack is the mystery.

They've always been shown as those things.

To Those Fortunate Enough chapter 35:

@burned-lariat

"What are you reading?" she asked shakily.

"A text from one of my men," Victor showed her the message that appeared on his phone screen.

From: Unknown (5:41 PM)

WH spotted at Warehouse 22

We have perimeter guarded

Come ASAP

Irina settled into her chair, biting the right corner of her lip. Her heart began to ache at the thought of it all, and she did her best to ignore Victor's skeptical gaze.

"Don't tell me you still have some affection for that man."

"He's an important part of my life."

"He is? No, my dear, he was. I seem to recall a very passionate monologue where you pinpointed Dexter's death as his responsibility."

"We resolved that."

"You resolved things with the man who murdered your son?" Victor looked at her with faux shock, "If I were Dexter, I'd be appalled that you care more about his killer than him."

Such a foul creature you are… Irina glared at her father, her thoughts bitter. She then looked back out the window.

Me: I would love to reach the level of delusional that Victor has reached. Being this delusional has to be fun.🥴

"What did you ever see in that man?"

Irina swiftly looked back at Victor, "Excuse me?"

"Wallace is a degenerate criminal, a man with no morals and no heart. You are a woman of higher standing and excellence. How could you ever fall for someone like him?"

Me: Victor really doesn't know him like me and Irina do😭

"Maybe because he never treated me like an object."

Victor stared at his daughter, confusion in his features. Irina's gaze was firm and assured.

"My mother kept me locked up in different compounds, and now you're using me to eliminate your enemies. Wallace never saw me as a weapon of mass destruction or a means to an end."

"Credit where it's due, the man is intelligent. He clearly found a way to keep his hold on you after all these years. I'm almost jealous of his skills-"

Me:

Y'all don't understand I need Victor in hell immediately.

"He never manipulated me, Father. Never. I know him."

"Do you now?"

"This man that you look down upon allowed me to have a connection to the world. His language, his culture, his delights are all things I've come to love myself. I'd still be a sheltered, frigid woman if not for the things he exposed me to."

"So he gave you a taste of freedom and independence. That's not a love story."

"And what would you know about it? Were you in love with Helena? Did she make you feel like you mattered, that you were more than a pile of clay to mold? Did she appreciate your flaws and quirks and always give you grace when it came to your own intricacies? Did she look out for you, protecting your interests and being more than what the world made of her? Did she show you affection openly and confidently, letting you know at every waking moment that you were the one for her? Did she even ever tell you that she loved you? If the answer to all of these questions is no, then you have no business saying anything."

"...Hmph," Victor turned away as the car parked at their destination, "We're here. You better change your tune soon, young lady. For your sake."

Me: Oh she gagged him real good.😌 Girlie said "STFU, let me tell you what a real love story is!" Like even I'm jealous of what Irina and Wallace have.😂

Irina could only roll her eyes in response as she stepped out of the car. Johann stood in her direct path, a silver handgun resting in his palm. She sighed gently before taking the weapon, trailing behind her father as he stepped inside.

"Wallace," Victor nodded with a grin.

"Victor," Wallace replied flatly.

"Bastard."

"Scum."

"Always with the pleasantries."

"Yeah, I'm a sweetheart," Wallace rolled his eyes, "I take it those buffoons in suits outside are yours?"

Me:

I'm just living for how Wallace and Irina can't control how much they despise that man🤭

That they are, but don't refer to them that way. They don't need to be reduced to your…level."

"Whatever," Wallace rolled his eyes before letting them travel to the woman nearby, "...Hi."

Irina was silent, nodding her head before glancing away.

"It would be best if you didn't make eyes at my daughter," Victor cut in.

Me: No matter the situation one thing about Wallace is that he's going to make it known he adores irina.🥰

"Or else, what? You'd shoot me?"

"No, but she would."

Wallace raised an eyebrow before looking Irina up and down. Her grip was firm around the handgun, a sharp glint in her eye as her aim was steady at his heart. He frowned at the sight before taking a deep breath.

"Hands up," her voice was shaky, but loud enough for him to hear. Wallace stood still for a moment before he slowly lifted his arms.

"You had to know this was coming," Victor stated sadly.

Me:

“Irina,” Wallace cut in, “listen to me.”

“Be quiet!”

“Make me!”

“With pleasure,” Victor smirked, “Go ahead, my dear. Finish him.”

“Irina, wait,” Wallace pushed his hands forward, his breathing a bit shaky, “just…before you shoot, just hear me out.”

He glanced at Victor for a moment before looking back at her.

“I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of, been a lot of things I’m not proud of, but I’m proud of what I did and who I was with you. You’ve changed my life for the better, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to repay the favor. It’s been an honor being in your life, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I’ll be spending the rest of my life burning in Hell, but my time here on Earth, as messy and chaotic as it was, was pretty good because you were part of it. I love you.”

Irina gulped, feeling her eyes well with tears. Her words echoed in his ears as she pulled the trigger, “I love you too. I’m sorry.”

Irina froze for a moment, taking everything in before pulling the trigger. Wallace fell to the ground in an instant, a hand on his chest.

“Dearest,” Irina rushed to his side, laying a hand in his hair. He writhed in pain, gasping for air, “Oh God-”

“It’s o-okay,” he choked out, “I had it c-coming.”

“No, no, please. Wallace, please, you can’t-”

Me:

My wig is missing! I repeat MY WIG IS MISSING!!!! The way Wallace and Irina are acting down🫡

“Irina, let’s go,” Victor boomed as he walked towards the warehouse door, “You have more targets to strike down.”

“I’m sorry,” Irina cried softly, “I’m so sorry. I love you.”

“I love you too…” Wallace sighed, his voice hoarse and weak. She opened her mouth to say more, but relented when she caught him wink. Eventually, she backed off and walked to the door, turning to blow him a kiss before finally leaving.

Me:

"Raise your weapon," Victor whispered to Irina, who did as much, "Come on now, come closer. I'll have my daughter lower her weapon if you do."

"Give me one reason I should trust that."

Irina's heart fluttered as she heard the voice, lowering her weapon on impulse. Victor scowled at her as a foot came into the light, and then legs, and then a chest, and finally, a head.

He could hardly believe his eyes: "Dexter."

"Hello, grandfather," he replied, a sharp glare on his face. Irina did her best to suppress a smile of pride.

"You're dead," Victor spat out in shock, "You should be dead. How are you standing here?"

"Well, as you can see, I'm not dead. Points for trying, though. You really did a number on me."

"You shouldn't be here."

"Oh, but I am. I mean, I'm a Cassadine, after all. If there's one thing that's true about us, it's that we don't die easy."

Me:

I'm a sucker for smooth confident entrances 🤭

"Dex," she hissed as she came from his left. He snapped his head her way and sighed, dropping to his knees.

"Oh, Dexter?" Victor's voice was melodic, "Come on out, young man. Spend some time with your mother before she corrects the course."

"Anna, hey," Dex whispered back.

"Take this," she passed him the gun, "I know you said you didn't have to use a gun, but use it here if you must."

"I'm not going to shoot my mother," Dex remarked, looking the weapon over.

"Are you a good shot?"

"My father's an excellent marksman. He may have screwed me up, but he made sure I knew how to shoot a gun."

Me: I need Wallace to become canon because someone needs to teach Canon!Dex how to shoot😂

"Irina," the older man boomed. She lifted her gun in response. Victor took a step closer to the young man.

"What a fun sight," Victor grinned, "a stalemate between mother and son. I know you wouldn't dare harm your mother…but she'll do what I say if she knows what's good for her."

Victor took a step closer, covering his daughter, "This is it for you, dear boy. Whatever plan you came up with to subdue me won't work. I had your mother take your father out, and I'll have her do the same to you. It would've been more prudent to have stayed in the shadows, because now, all that recovery will be for nothing. Goodbye, Dexter. I hope you enjoy burning in Hell."

Me: Once again I have to say it must be fun to Victor because why does he think Irina would kill her own son? The very son she was devasted over him trying to kill in the first place🥴

He held up a hand, "Now, my dear. Fire!"

The room stood still for a brief moment. Dex's eyes widened as he saw the bullet rip past him, striking the wall. Victor grabbed his side, clutching it as he fell to his knees. The young man looked between his grandfather and mother, who lowered her gun and rushed to them both.

"Mom-" Dex began as she pulled him away.

"Shh," Irina hissed, "we need to go. Let's get Anna and Valentin and-"

The world stopped again. Irina let go of her son's arm, her hands clutching her stomach. She doubled over in pain, lying flat on her back.

Me: ......I'm on the way

"You…" Victor hissed as he got to his feet, "you worthless bastard spawn."

Dex felt Johann's forearm press harder against his neck. Anna and Valentin squirmed, trying to free themselves.

"All you have done is cause misery," Victor growled, "You broke apart the family, you actively interfered with my plans, and above all else, you still have air in your lungs."

Me: Oh Victor needs to be fucking fr because this man is acting like he didn't set all of this in motion.🥴 Victor middle name has to "бредовый"

"Your very existence is unnatural," Victor got in his face, "a black mark on our legacy. Helena should've gutted you when she had the chance, and I should've followed through after using you to bring your bleeding heart mother back. You won't evade death this time, young man. Your father's dead, your mother's dying, and you're the next to go. Enjoy these final moments while you still can."

Victor shakily aimed the gun at his grandson's head, his finger slowly pulling the trigger. The gun fell to the ground, going off and striking Johann in the leg. Dex fell to his knees, gasping for air. He looked at Johann, who struggled to get up, before looking to Victor, his eyes widening at the sight.

The old man laid still, a bullet wound present on his neck. His eyes were wide and glossy, blood leaking from his mouth. Dex looked to his left, seeing a pair of dark brown hiking boots. His eyes traveled up until he saw Wallace's face, determined and cold as the gun was perfectly aimed. There was a hole in his shirt, exposing a bit of his bulletproof vest's black padding. In the shock of the incident, Anna and Valentin seized the moment to free themselves, twisting the goons' arms and knocking them to the ground. They rushed into the middle of the action.

"Oh my God," Anna sighed, looking at Wallace, "You…you-"

"I know what I did, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat," Wallace replied, his voice deep, "His reign of terror is over…for good."

Me:

Like wow...

Dex," Wallace called out, stepping over Johann's body and dropping to his knees, "Dex, hey."

The young man's vision began to blur, a hand slowly landing on his chest, "D…Dad-"

His heart…verdammt… Wallace thought anxiously as he pulled Dex into his arms, "It's going to be okay."

"M-Mom-"

"I know, I know. She's getting help."

"But-" his breathing was shaky as his chest ached. Black spots clouded his vision as his father cradled him from the waist up, "Aah-"

"Anna and Valentin are with her, they're getting her help. Your mother's going to be okay. Worry about you."

"She…she was sh-shot-"

"And you're having a heart attack. Please, son, worry about yourself."

Me:

"Help's on the way," Anna walked over to the men, "The WSB's sending agents to take in the rest of Victor's grunts and ambulances are on the way."

"Anna-" Dex gasped out, "My…m-mother-"

"She's still alive," Anna crouched down, "She's hanging on; she's not going anywhere."

"I…I-" Dex blinked slowly before looking up at Wallace. The man stared back, a reassuring smile on his face. On impulse, he wrapped his arms around his father's shoulders, holding him close.

"Thank you," he sighed.

"No need," Wallace replied, hugging him back, "This was all you."

Me: 🥹

He squeezed Dex a little tighter, "Ich liebe dich, mein kleiner Bär. Ich liebe dich so sehr."

"Ich…liebe dich auch…" Dex felt a wave of relief rush through him, his vision blurring further before his eyes fluttered closed. His hold on Wallace loosened, and the hand he left on his father's shoulder slid off, going limp. Wallace felt his son slump against him, and he slowly pulled away to examine him. He gently shook the young man, panic slowly but surely coursing through his veins.

His voice cracked as he spoke: "...Dex?"

Me: So yeah i've decided that the Heller family will be the death of me.😄

[peppertaemint]

SHINee fans have been showing their asshats about the comeback too? I thought it was just EXO-Ls being annoying again. I really don't understand this. I don't understand why fans think they know what's best for these grown adults. I don't understand once they saw how much fun Baekhyun and Kai had with the other SuperM members, why that's not enough? I don't understand why once Baekhyun said out of his own mouth that we would not have agreed to be in the group if it was going to be a short term thing? I understand why fans just can't ignore what they don't like and focus on what they do? EXO has announced they're having a comeback. What difference does it make whether it's first or last? It's coming. They're getting what they want so just stfu and wait. No point in whining and complaining about something you can't control so just ignore what you find unpleasant and then get hyped when news hits stating what you want to hear. I'm a huge EXO fan but I can wait. I know it's happening. That's good enough. This whole entitled attitude of things need to happen when they want it to happen has gotten out of hand and quite frankly gross. I for real saw an actual tweet wait let me show you... https://twitter.com/3799error/status/1609602960127889408?s=20&t=I3UFpJzFyDSQga0Aly-tHg

"I stan them for my pleasure, not their's" so basically, these men are to exist to not do what they want to do, but to just solely do what pleases this person and others who think this way. If that isn't some fucked up statement that shows exactly what the problem is with fandom culture, Idk what is. I'm disgusted and now I will be enjoying this SuperM comeback even more than I already was.

Screenshot of that tweet because it's a doozy:

SHINee World has mostly calmed down, thankfully. They're back to coming up with funny countdowns until Taemin's return. Just saw one dedicated to his philtrum since Key described it as looking like someone ripped off a piece of tape. 💀

Anyway, there's a lot to unpack in that tweet. Some fans fundamentally think they know better than record labels in countries they've never been to. And what's best for people they've never met in any meaningful way (nor will they ever). I could entertain it all and say fans are just passionate and backseat driving, but honestly I won't. It's a delusional level of parasocial engagement. Some fans struggle because they don't know where they end and other people begin, as though they get a say in someone else's life or art or work. It's the definition of narcissism.

Like you, I always err on the side of like... trusting people? They all said they wanted it to be a long-term project where they could show different types of concepts. That's what we're getting. Cool! I don't care when and how it comes. If the music's shit I'll say so (as per usual) but other than that let people you don't know live their lives. 💀

I hate that there isn't any other humanoid species besides this one.

Cause..if you get mad at humans for their bs, you're still expected to be attracted to them.

And if here were other humanoid species (mermaids,fairies,maybe magicians, angels etc),you would have no problem w dating (if u still seeked it ofc)..

But since they unfortunately don't exist.. You cannot.. You have to continue with this shit species.

And if you despise humanity,that it turned u into aspec that self ships (or you're fine w absolutely nobody).. You're getting called cringe and despised just cause your partner doesn't exist... And you're expected to change cause apparently you're supposed to forgive this fucking species.

If we get into the aspecness deep.. You could notice,that people that are somehow more attraction repulsed than the rest of the community... They're heavily ignored..

And if we wanted more representation by making the content and..u know,not including attraction positive content.. We're bashed and "you're just stereotyping the label!!".. But if attraction positive individual doesn't include the repulsed ones,then it's completely okay..

Like people think they're special and better just cause they're attracted to each other. Like grow up, you ain't special mf.

(For the otherkin tags; you could apply this to even identifying as an otherkin or nonhuman;getting called delusional or having some weird nonsense like "oh it's sad that they've been disappointed by humanity/ they're so delusional,why do they hate their human body? It's amazing being this species!!",like..stfu pls)

merula better stfu. always whining about how everyone assumes the worst of her, when that’s exactly what she deserves. sorry, but i’m not gonna feel bad for her. i mean what does she expect with the way she behaves? maybe it wouldn’t happen if she was actually a decent person instead of a spiteful and racist bully who rarely treats anyone with respect, not even the people she’s supposed to be friends with. like i said, she gets no sympathy from me. also literally when has she ever been “the mature one”? she’s so delusional, it’s not even funny at this point. i’m so sick of her i stg. 😒

Y'know, I was on her side. I truly was. Because she didn't do a damn thing wrong in this quest during the first act. She was her typical grumpy self, but she helped out and didn't cause any trouble. And when it came down to it, the inciting incident that led to her getting angry...that wasn't her fault either. Seriously, the White Hippogriff game is just...I'm speechless. Did Merula gloat a bit about taking the Exploding Snap game back from Ben? Sure. But if anyone was "whining" in this quest, it was Ben, right after this happened. I know, he was excited about his gift, and disappointed that he lost it. But that is literally how the game is supposed to work, and Merula even points this out. She didn't do anything wrong. "Stealing" is part of the game, and I don't blame Merula for feeling targeted after she was pressured to give the Exploding Snap back. That wasn't really fair to her at all. I know Ben had his personal reasons, but he didn't explain them, and also, um...they're nonsense. Ben used to play Exploding Snap when he was "younger?" As in, back when he was timid as a mouse and scared of his own shadow? He used to love Jumpscares, the card game? I don't buy that. And then Penny takes it much too far by calling Merula a bully, just for standing up for herself.

Of course, then Merula just has to go and make a fool out of me for defending her. She just has to play the role of the villain even though she was, by all counts, in the right....by setting the party on fire. She caused a fucking fire in the Clubroom. Merula! What. Are. You. Doing. This is why people don't like you! Seriously, how did Diego and MC have McGonagall on their case about trashing the Dragon Clubhouse by accident, and no one ever worries that the Sphinx Club will be shut down, after Merula sets everything on fire out of spite? Damn it Merula, I was on your side! And then Penny starts crying, and the whole thing is a distinctly uncomfortable mess. Y'know, these three characters do not combine well. Ben and Merula are already prone to argue, and Penny doesn't seem to able to handle it when they do...

Still, it sounds like you were on Ben and Penny's side even before the fire. And I don't blame you for that, we're all entitled to our opinions and plenty of people are well out of patience for Merula. I've given my reasons for why I don't think she was in the wrong, but it also plays into a more general discussion about whether or not she can fairly expect to be given the benefit of the doubt. Given her habits and history, I don't blame anyone for not doing so. But that doesn't mean I don't feel sympathy for Merula, who just doesn't want to be seen as the villain. Curiously, I can remember her expressing a similar sentiment back in Christmas II. When she resented that she was suspected of sabotaging the Ford Anglia. Some may shrug this off, because she was in fact guilty, but that wasn't really the point. Guilty or innocent, she was upset for being judged with no proof. I wonder if it's significant or not that these feelings emerge during the winter holidays.
