Cold Mornings
Have a, well, it's more than a drabble, but it's still short. Have a whatever this is.
John "Soap" MacTavish x Reader
You wrap a blanket around your shoulders as you step out of the bedroom. It’s a freezing cold morning. All you can think about is coffee until you see him, John, sitting there on a bar stool at the table, shirtless, reading something on his phone.
You’d say something, but he’d probably give you a line about Scotsmen being made of tougher stuff. So you walk to the kitchen, your blanket dragging behind you on the floor. You could have sworn you heard a low, amused chuckle coming from John’s direction, but he doesn’t follow it with his usual teasing, so you ignore it.
As you take a few sips of your coffee, you study John. As you watch him, he shifts in his chair, subtle movements that manage to completely change the topography of his back. You feel the urge to be close to him.
You shuffle over to where he’s sitting and reach around him to set your mug down on the table before pressing your chest into his back.
Even without a shirt, he’s still warm. How is that possible?
You make a soft sound and bury the tip of your freezing-cold nose into his shoulder.
“Cold there?” He asks, a tone of humor in his voice.
“Maybe,” You say as you drape your arms and the blanket over his shoulders.
“Should get you back to bed then.”
He rises then, and you automatically let go and take a step back. In a swift movement, he dips down, bracing one arm on your back and the other at the bend in your knees. You’re lifted into the air like you’re nothing as he gathers you and the blanket into his arms and takes you back to the bedroom.

@sleepycupcakesmiles TUMBLR DOING SOMETHING STUPID AGAIN WHERE IT’S NOT GIVING ME AN “Answer” BUTTON AGAIN AHHHH
Anyway,
I LOVE THIS CONCEPT!! :DDD I remember at one point I was agonizing over whether or not to include a pizza kitchen in the arcade, thereby making it even more similar to the OG FNaF location. But this would solve the pizza conundrum AND introduce a great character.
She’s such an adorable character design—that palette of pink and burgandy and neutrals looks very nice indeed. Her personality so endearing! I also think that at least definitely Sun would be comically oblivious to any expressions of affection like heart-shaped pizzas, regardless of his own potential feelings for Stacy. He’d probably be very confused and assume there was some mistake or ask for a replacement 😭 😆.
As for the twist! Ohhoho~~ Moon would likely notice that he had butt dialed the pizza place and need to pay a little visit to their favorite delivery girl, and I imagine she would be obviously nervous about what she heard… what happens next mmhhhmmhm 😈 up to you 👀.
#It’s also tickling me that you said Sun/Moon’s phone bc they only have one cell phone between the two of them#and i guess there’s the arcade landline too#ooo i wonder what the slasher bois favorite pizza topping would be 🤔#probably really weird things…#dca slasher au

I've referenced before how I have a big google document to keep track of every media I've ever seen in my entire life (just for reference because I like to track everything possible lol… I am the Data Collector), but recently as I was updating it, I thought of actually evaluating them to find out random percentages (like for example, out of Total Shows Watched, what percentage did I finish vs. stop watching, what percentage did I like or dislike, etc.)...
Evaluating these things is made easier by the fact that I already place everything on each subsection of the list into 6 broad ranking categories, so I don't have to go back and guess to figure out how I feel about them or anything. The categories are: Ranking 5 - overall best* (despite some criticisms of course because I'm too much of an Analyzer to ever find anything Perfect lol) Ranking 4 - more positive than neutral, but not good enough to be 5 Ranking 3 - either the good + bad negate each other, OR it's just not memorable/interesting in any way enough to be ranked higher or lower (this is the Default category ALL things are placed in if no other rank applies) Ranking 2 - maybe a few redeemable elements but largely more negatives than positives Ranking 1 - So bad that it circles around to being fascinating to observe in some way (not necessarily Funny, or Good, but just interesting somehow) Ranking 0 - Bad in a genuinely frustrating or obnoxious manner
*("best" primarily defined here as most interesting, rather than most good in a technical sense, or some other measure. I tend to value more highly whether there's something novel or thoughtful about the worldbuilding, tone, writing, base premise, etc - than about whether it's actually executed perfectly.)
And here's the amount of shows that have so far been placed into each category -
TV shows ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 20 shows ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 28 shows ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 114 shows ~ Rank 2 (mid low) -33 shows ~ Rank 1 (low low but intriguingly so) - 14 shows ~ Rank 0 (iredeemably low) - 2 shows
This would make for a total of 211 TV shows overall. However, there are 57 shows within these list marked as "didn't finish" (typically meaning I quit on the very first or second episode - but log them still to keep a record that I at least had a brief view of them).
So my total of genuinely fully watched shows would be more 154. 211 Total, but a More Accurate Total of 154.
Counting them all and using the Total Number Of The List (211) -- that means roughly 9.5% of all total shows I have ever watched (or at least attempted to watch) have been Mostly Good, 13% have been Moderately Okay, 54% have been either entirely Forgettable or some mix of good + bad that lands them right in the Neutral Middle, 15.6% have been Mostly Bad, 6.6% have been Bad (but in an interesting way), and 0.9% have been Terribly Bad.
Additionally, I didn't even get past the first two episodes of about 27% of the total.
Sooo, discounting ones I didn't finish, my total TV shows ever watched in my life would be about 154 (maybe give or take a few, assuming I might have forgotten some from very long ago).
But instead of entire life, let's just say this is the total for 'About 20 Years' (so, not counting very early childhood when I likely wouldn't remember things I saw/have no detailed recollection of them (like for example, I'm sure at some point when I was like 4yrs old I must have seen an episode of Spongebob or something, but I have zero distinct memories of it, can't quote anything of it, and barely recall the premise - so I don't count it on the list, etc.)).
In that case, 154 divided by 20 would be roughly 7.7 shows a year.
Which is actually surprisingly low considering that I often have stuff on in the background for hours whilst I make sculptures and do costumes and stuff (maybe I should have also marked some distinction between 'things I fully paid attention to' and 'things I kind of half listened to whilst sculpting', but that would further split the categories too much probably lol), but I guess a lot of that is youtube videos or random documentaries, so .. eh.. maybe I get it being lower.
Now, doing the same thing for movies-
Movies ~ Rank 5 (highest) - 4 movies (3.4% of total) ~ Rank 4 (mid-high) - 12 movies (10.3% of total) ~ Rank 3 (neutral/default/meh) - 91 movies (78.4% of total) ~ Rank 2 (mid low) - 8 movies (6.8% of total) ~ Rank 1 (low but interesting) - 1 movie (0.8% of total) ~ Rank 0 (irredeemably low) - none in this category (0%)
That makes 116 for a Total (Actually Remembered) Movies Watched In Lifetime (Or At Least In 20 Years).
116 divided by 20 is roughly 5 or 6 movies a year (I feel this has probably been skewed though by adding everything since like elementary school onwards, as I remember a lot more movies from child/teen years.. Whereas, the past 3 years I feel like I've barely seen maybe even 5 movies?? lol). I also have "Didn't Finish" marked on 18 of them. Which means I quit halfway through about 15% of the total movies.
So, a for broader summary stuff..
I seem to be less forgiving to movies than tv shows, by far. Which makes sense to me, I guess, because I love elaboration and details, so "short form" things that only last an hour or two are often lost on me a bit. My biggest complaint with movies is indeed usually walking away just wishing there had been more exposition, more scenes where characters are doing nothing, more "mindless bantering" conversations, more Quiet Downtime and Lore Elaboration and so on lol, so... of course most 1-2hr films end up feeling a bit Not Enough To Draw My Interest/Nothingy to me.
If you count 5 and 4 as "like" and rankings 2 to 0 as "dislike", then for TV shows I at least somewhat liked 48 of them, and at least somewhat disliked 47 of them.. So it's almost exactly the same lol. I'm just about equally as likely to find something bad as I am to find something redeeming about it. But overall, the largest chance is that I just won't really care much for it at all and it will be tossed into the 'neutral' pile, forgotten forever. Movies have a bit better of a balance, "liking" 16 of them, and "disliking" only 9 of them. So I'm slightly more likely to enjoy a movie than to find it annoying - though still VASTLY more likely to just not find it anything in particular, possibly not even finishing it.
ANYWAY.. this is vague and literally pointless, but like I said, I just really find information fun. Like my document where I've rated every apple flavor I've ever tried (like 40 of them now?), or reviewed every oreo flavor (32?), or ranking data from my entire 10 years of Trying To Make Friends process (out of 100 people, roughly 8% chance of a moderate compatibility, 3% chance of high), or etc. etc.. I love to have random pointless things to analyze I suppose lol.
I doubt anyone tracks things in their life in this same exact way, but I'd be interested in hearing any at least somewhat similar data !!! (like, how many TV shows you watch a year on average, and what percentage of those you like vs. dislike (if you keep track of that sort of thing), etc.)). I guess it might be easier with movies, since I think some people use those websites where you curate a list of movies you've seen and you can rate them or something, so maybe the numbers are already available on those places. :0
#maybe this is my version of spotify wrapped lol.. Lifetime Media Google Doc Wrapped.. kind of.. except I'm not going over specific titles.#I can't do this with music since I rarely EVER look for new music or add to my Youtube To MP3 folder library as I just don't really#listen to music that often. When I'm working (the majority of when I seek background noise) I need like.. people's talking voices#for some reason. Just instruments and singing are not distracting enough to me to work as background noise because theyre#almost TOO in the background if that makes sense? like if I put music on then I just tune it out and it's virtually no different#than if I were daydreaming stream of consciousness thoughts in an entirely quiet room lol. And I can't really do it with books since#essentially 100% of what I read is non-fiction. usually about some specific subject or academic topic OR stuff like#1800s magazines or cookbooks or historical people's diaries. Which is not really.. the type of thing I would#rank as easily I guess? like 'ooh yeah putting the sociology textbook in my top 5 hee hee right next to the 1920s radio recipes book' lol.#Then for games... I just sadly dont play enough of them. I've been banned from new games as I've told myself I cant play anyting#long form (no rpgs or etc) until I actually finish MY OWN game first - to keep me from wasting time. so on average#I play... 0 new games a year. ToT... I do play the sims sometimes but that's really all (which is not a new game at all since#I've been playing it on and off for years). Thus I guess movies/TV are really the only things that make sense#to collect this sort of information on. I could do youtube videos I guess also but that seems kind of strange like...#giving a rating to every single video I watch in a ranked list lol.. Especially since I would say a good 85% of the time#they are exclusively background noise whilst I'm working on something or cleaning the house or etc. and not things I pay serious attention#to. There are only a few specific topics/types/creators of videos I watch where I'm ACTUALLY sitting in front of a screen paying#direct attention to the content (usually when it's educational or political things). Everything else is too mindless to even rank.#ANYWAY... ever analyzing my little hermit Weird Relationship To Media (in the sense of seemingly not processing or getting the same#things out of it as many other seem to). I think that can contribute sometimes to the whole difficulty socializing and stuff#since our culture is very centered around media consumption generally speaking. People want to talk about The New Movie that came#out or The Big TV Show Of The Year. and for me it's like.. highly likely I just plain have NOT seen it. Or if i have. statistically#I most likely was entirely ambivalent if not slightly negative towards it lol. Which just kind of takes the steam out of a 'fun' 'casual'#conversation and you seem like a bit of a bummer if most of your only feedback is either 'idk what that is' or 'oh yea... i did#see that one.... i didnt like it all that much though... I think it'd be better with elves in it.. and 7 hours longer..'' lol..#Which I am not disliking things in a 'grr i hate it bc its popular'/just to be contrarian way. I actually dislike that mindset/find it#silly (by striving so hard to be counterculture you are thus still defining yourself by the whims of external culture - just in the#opposite direction. but are still just as preoccupied with the mainstream (going against it) as everyone else. etc. lol..)) In my#case I think it IS just having niche hyperspecific tastes.. for example- it peeves me when cell phones are in media bc I dont want to be#reminded at ALL of the real world. so.. cross off anything set in modern times. so on & etc. Judging all things by these weird criteria lol

Recently started watching White Collar! More interesting than its reputation gives it credit for, but if the network were being at all honest with us, Mozzie would be trans and either a furry, a drag queen, or both
#come on#I've met weird little hackers who don't trust the system#it's okay mozzie i know who you are when you're not on 2008 television#pretty sure the lead actor is gay too#yeah apparently he came out five years later by thanking his husband at an award ceremony#anyway you can tell this is from the same era of television as Leverage#and that Moffat was taking notes for the BBC Sherlock aesthetic#edit: mozzie would only do drag in a 1920s speakeasy themed gay club#where the patrons are required to wear all black and check their cell phones at the door#yes I am thinking of a specific place I know exists#or did when the show was airing (thatnks covid)

If Charles found out about the prophecy before Black Fire Upon Us, i.e. before he dies/(almost dies??? I've never been fully clear on if he really died or just let everyone believe he did) like would he be stressed out about it?
"A prophecy? That, uh, sounds a bit far fetched and all- I'm sorry, I'm who? The dead man????? I die? That's my job????"
They have to elaborate like "Well, like, yes but it's fine!!! You get to come back or whatever bestie don't sweat it!"
like would he be worried about that? is that something that would cause concern? every time something starts to go wrong and the fans and klokateers start dropping like flies, would it make charles sweat like "oh god when is it gonna happen oh god"
#mtl#metalocalypse#charles foster offdensen#idk I think about the prophecy and like#how weird it would be to exist in a mostly not fantasy world (save for i think trolls and unicorns? but NOT dragons)#and have like cell phones and electric guitars and the internet#and then some guy is like “btw fyi you're ass is gonna straight up die and come back to life”

ZoLaw AUs Nobody Asked For
Law and Zoro as online boyfriends.
They text. They chat. They ask one another advice, occasionally at really awkward times. [Picture of Zoro trying to text on this damn e-mushi because DrHeartStealer wasn't sure his crew actually LIKED him, is he being too harsh Sword3?] while also trying to fight off a giant electric god pet snake.
This all started pre-Luffy (Zoro's official calendar units) and neither of them have really gotten brave enough to reveal their identities but, yeah, online boyfriends.
So Zoro means it when he shoulders some guy at bar out of his personal space with a little, "look somewhere else, buddy." He's taken.
Robin: I notice Kenshi-san is very attached to his e-mushi. Nami: Zoro? Ha! No, he hates those things. It's why he lets kata- oh, THAT. *Eye roll* Yeah, he's really attached to that "e-mushi" Robin: *side smile* Why do I feel as if you're holding back on important details, Navigator-san? Nami: *sigh* I guess it's only right that, since Luffy decided you were crew, I tell you everything I know Nami: So I can finally gossip about this bitch with someone who gets it
#welcome to my brain#yes its a weird place please ignore all the swordsmen....#screwing#please ignore all the screwing swordsmen#an e-mushi is a cell phone version of a den den mushi mushi#if you're curious for more background than needed: Zoro hates them and prefers traditional den den mushi#he has one that rushes to him when require; its name is Snail#but he does own an e-mushi for one very important purpose#Dr Heartstealer#the zolaw au nobody asked for#one piece#roronoa zoro#trafalgar d. water law#trafalgar law#zolaw#cat bulgar nami#nico robin#so much gossip about this bitch#Robin you don't even know#look I like when my girls just hang out being sassy together#and I like when my kenshi are in some kind of pining half not really relationship that invites all sorts of shenanigans#eventually ending in some hot fucking#no there wasn't meant to be another word there#I said what I sajd#hot. fucking.#zoro x law#amusing musings#monkey d. luffy

im Determined not to like akamu for very petty reasons unrelated to whether they're good or not but i have to admit. theyre funny
#kipspeak#i like akai now WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TIME I WATCHED THIS SHOW ACTUALLY IF U CAN BELIEVE. i didnt care about him at all#but look..................................................... the four of the akais#i like em. i like em#theyre weird. i like their eyeliner. and how theyre kinda sucks (VERY AFFECTIONATE). and their hair (fluffy). and their Murderous Gaze#except for shukichi who has a Normal Sharp Gaze bc he only uses his brain cells for shogi good for him good for him#the reasons are all just that i have very specific ship tastes and i dont think ALL enemies to lovers is Good#i think enemies to lovers has to be SPECIFIC to be my brand. and by specific i mean there's gotta be something weirdly existential in there#you ever wonder why mary decided to name her children shuichi shukichi and masumi. first of all the one mora difference second of all#masumi is not graceful nor does she feel like being graceful-#anyways theyre funny because its always funny when one of the guys is like -_- and the other guy is like Ill Kill You In Real Life For This#i watched the scene where conan makes them talk to each other thru his phones again

Dreamed that someone got me a box of Scary Creatures for my birthday. Not even just a box, a bunch of boxes. It was like a tier-thing. I get put in a room and the box is opened, and I have to avoid the Creatures. When I succeed, I moved on to the next box. The first box had a venomous and aggressive snake, some kind of bug, and... I think some kind of gator/crocodile creature.
And in the dream, this was a fairly normal gift? Not normal-normal, because it was on the expensive side, but I wasn't shocked or anything. And when I had to leave, because I was going to be late for work, everyone was shocked and annoyed that I was leaving, because 1. They'd spent so much money on this, and 2. Now they have to figure out what to do with all these Creatures.
So anyway.
#i speak#also! re: cell phone post. i tried to use my cell phone in the dream to get directions to work#but it wouldn't work#anyway i was 15 minutes late to work gave practically no explanation and my boss was chill about it#and laughing about other stuff#it was a weird dream#.... anyway#my birthday is Sunday#guess my subconscious has some Thoughts about that#should add some tws just to be safe#bug tw#snake tw#horror tw#dreams

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"
#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall#y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these#rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything#BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes#'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and#acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something#managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show#''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was#set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol#OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting#around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes''#''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often'#''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc.#ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye#BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by#putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones#when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or#magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!!#ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like#'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i#the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!!#it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action#fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on..#ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally#defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just#opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of#points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its#bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol#Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully#agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it
