#def not as good as the first

[putonmyfavoriteshow]

I finished Papás Por Encargo s2 this weekend. Spoilers beyond the cut for review/thoughts on this season💭 Non-spoiler: Morgan's homemade videos continue to slay 🤭

I'm glad they had them back on the road this season, since that's partly what made s1 so fun. A tour was a perfect excuse and I liked the stakes of them trying to grow the band.

Itzel isn't a very likable character. And I think this is partly why this season struggles a bit. She needed to be integrated with the boys and California but it still felt very her vs. them especially with her pushing California to move away from them

I was skeptical at Paulina's return since I really didn't like her in s1, but I thought her redemption arc was done well and I have to say she's MORE likable than Itzel. I'm glad that it was mostly about her and California forming a bond as opposed to just winning back Miguel. And I was relieved that she didn't end up back with Miguel. I thought one of the sweetest moments in the season was when she told California that him rejecting her was like "[cough] syrup" - tastes bad going down but ultimately good for you 🥺

Diego not winning over Itzel was also a shock, but also respect the show averting expectations and having the characters face rejections instead of winning over the object of their affections. I do wonder if I'm reading into a possible Miguel/Itzel relationship in a possible s3? Especially since Paulina and Morgan had that surprise kiss AND Diego referenced calling Denisse in the last episode - the boys just swapping their love interests lol.

I didn't really care much about California's love interest but it was cute seeing her have her first crush and see Paulina try to help her but ultimately give her terrible advice, but Miguel sort of step in. Though it might have been more fun to see all the dads try to help her here.

Once again, I'm not really interested in any of the love stories in this show. The strongest relationship in this show is between the dads and California, as well as the boys in their friendship/band. I really loved seeing the boys back together and their relationship and protectiveness of California, but they had trouble juggling Itzel and Paulina's return.

Morgan continues to be my favorite. He's just such a lovable goofball, and it was sweet to see him try to be the best manager he could be even if he tripped up quite a bit. Morgan scenes just tended to my favorite throughout. Michael Ronda just channels that golden retriever energy so much.

My favorite episode was "Discord" I think Diego and Morgan have a really fun dynamic that was explored here and the shenanigans of them trying to escape the townspeople after trying to help them was fun, and it was nice to see California work things out with Paulina. California definitely has a mischievous side, and it was fun to see that here, but still her goodness win out and admit what she did to Miguel and Paulina cover for her.

I really enjoyed the music this season! And the music videos as expressed above are all so good.

The court stuff was a bit predictable and I felt like they were just dragging out s1s plot, and it felt a bit repetitive. It really wasn't that exciting last season, and felt even less interesting s2. Enough with this weird man and his turtle eggs!

I'm curious if the show will get renewed. I feel like it ended at a good spot but it would be interesting to see where they take the story next with them all living together. I would hope that a possible 3rd season would open possible fresher storylines and of course more ridiculous music videos directed by Morgan.

ayyy does anyone still talk about dsaf?

Wanted to draw the cover for "she's crazy but she's mine" since it came up on my playlist. Also inspired by sleepless dave cause he broke into jack's house and the cover reminded me of it.

The Campaign

Just a fun little in-between moment cause I wanted to write some DnD stuff.

The way I see it, they’ve continued their old college campaign but Maddie updated it to include some 5e rules. The boys however kept their old character sheets, so they’re a little outdated but they hold sentimental value to them.

<<First < Previous Next >

(Weirdly enough, trying to come up with names and classes for them was real difficult, cause DnD for me is very personal and I put a ALOT of care to my own characters. So giving Vlad and Jack their own characters felt like I was overstepping? Maybe it’s cause in their own world Vlad and Jack might as well be DnD character lol)

he's "sizing him up" or so they say

Summary:

“Haha, I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon, Red! Is this luck?” Those dead blues curve up in amused crescents, staring into Diluc’s. Who would’ve known that what he thought was a simple Fatui lackey all those years turned out to become the eleventh harbinger himself? Celestia sure knew how to play with him in the worst way possible.

And what was a chance meeting between two strangers if they were to never meet again?

That was what Diluc thought as he carefully cleaned the glass in his hands, only to nearly drop it at the sight of orange, grays, and reds at the corner of his eye.

“Haha, I didn’t think we’d meet again so soon, Red! Is this luck?” Those dead blues curve up in amused crescents, staring into Diluc’s. Who would’ve known that what he thought was a simple Fatui lackey all those years turned out to become the eleventh harbinger himself?

Celestia sure knew how to play with him in the worst way possible.

“I request that you step out of my establishment this instant,” he snaps, suddenly feeling irritated by how carefree the other seemed to be despite waltzing into his territory. It was a shame that he couldn’t bring his claymore to scare him off lest he damage his most expensive liquor behind him.

And to his further irritation, the harbinger had the gall to laugh, and somehow, he found it… pleasant? Barbatos forbid, he even dares to say that the short laugh he heard sounds like music to his ears.

Diluc’s eye twitches at the thought, and he thinks that he must be going insane.

“... … … …! … …? … … … …”

The Fatui harbinger’s mouth opens and closes as he continues talking, but Diluc decides to ignore it in favor of sizing him up. The man has certainly grown in the time that they weren’t able to see each other, and he could see the well-trained muscles hiding behind that awful coat. Tartaglia’s face also seemed to mature compared to before, looking much more slim with a slightly crooked nose from a healed broken nose.

His wandering eyes focus on the freckles he spotted on Tartaglia’s cheeks absentmindedly, his hand traitorously itching to take a pen just to connect the dots.

Damn Fatui and their unfairly attractive ginger diplomat.

“...mrade? …Master Ragnvindr, are you even listening?” Chapped lips slanted lopsidedly in a roguish smirk, and Diluc knew he stared for too long. Damn it.

sophie devereaux being the person that the leverage team depends on for emotional intelligence is so funny. like she’s relied on to be the peacekeeper, to show compassion for clients, to provide friendship & relationship tips to her teammates… and this is the same woman who is unwaveringly obsessed with the most pathetic wet cat of a man who cannot verbally reciprocate feelings to save his life, and with whom she’s basically having a 5-year-long continuous argument. she has such extreme identity issues that she had to spend months abroad killing off her old aliases and she won’t let her bf know her real name. but SHE’S the team member with comparatively healthy and normal emotional advice?? this family is so weird and i love them

[hatsbuckets]

oh y'all thought that (this) was the only one?

Kyle Garrick who's unsettled after missions.

Kyle Garrick who heads for the locker room, shedding gear, heart still fluttering and pounding in his chest.

Kyle Garrick who can't shake the nerves, the jostle of the vehicle, the ache in his frame, even as he hits the showers.

Kyle Garrick whose ears pick up the light voice of a very talkative Scot and lets it fill his ear as they clean up, warm water relaxing tense muscle.

Kyle Garrick who teases, and talks, and banters with one John Mactavish.

Kyle Garrick who lets the words come easy, lets himself be dragged into conversation, lets himself laugh when Soap throws a wet towel at his head.

Kyle Garrick who fires back with a sharp quip, a roll of his eyes, a smirk that’s almost real. And the tension eases, just a bit, in the rhythm.

Kyle Garrick who doesn’t say anything when the conversation winds down, when Soap claps his shoulder, grin still in place, but softer now. Just a shared nod when Soap heads off.

Kyle Garrick who moves slower now, steadier now, toward the hangar for something he's sure he's forgotten, but by the time he enters it doesn't matter.

Kyle Garrick who finds a masked lieutenant, still stiff, still tense, still caught in whatever storm is brewing in his head.

Kyle Garrick who doesn’t touch at first, just sits next to him, near but not crowding. and he speaks, voice easy, steady, something grounding to pull one Simon Riley back down.

Kyle Garrick who watches Ghost breathe, watches the sharp edges smooth out, watches the tension give just a little. Eventually venturing to squeeze his shoulder once, brief but firm. and he doesn’t push when Ghost doesn’t answer.

Kyle Garrick who finds himself at his captain's office, where the door is cracked open.

Kyle Garrick who steps inside without a word and sees the couch—nearly too small for the captain that lies on it.

Kyle Garrick who accepts one John Price lying there and the knowing look Price gives, and he doesn’t ask, just leans in when Price opens his arms.

Kyle Garrick who tucks himself into the warmth, presses his face against familiar fabric, and breathes.

Kyle Garrick who feels the exhaustion settle in deep, but not heavy, not anymore.

Kyle Garrick who lets his eyes slip shut, knowing he won’t be the last to arrive.

Kyle Garrick who sleeps comfortably atop his captain.

Kyle Garrick who is unsettled after missions,

but never too unsettled to find ease in the boys.

Kyle Garrick who feels the rumble of Price's snores and just melts deeper, because he's undeniably comforted by the sound anyway.

price | soap | ghost

we just finished the third episode, here's what she had to say:

"but powder was my favourite and now she's a bad guy"

she thought that sevika was rihanna for two seconds and the worst part is that i totally see it

this episode did not help with her opinion on vi

i mean she literally said "boo, violet" when she punched powder

(for context: i looked up mr. kiramman and he didn't have a first name listed) "because he's just a bitch, bitches don't have first names"

"these are some long ass titles"

"he's gonna kill your boyfriend. you killed his boyfriend" (about benzo's death)

she detects gay vibes between jayce and viktor (won't be the first one to and won't be the last to either)

^"KISS HIM? that's what i thought he was gonna do when he stood up"

she thought that "crank it" sounded like a euphemism. "like are they gonna fuck, what's going on?"

at first she thought that powder was attacking silco so she cheered but then realized what was actually happening

she said "ex-boyfriend killing the new boyfriend, is that the problem? 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?'" about silco and vander (and brushed off the numerous "brother" comments)

"now you gotta go back and let them know that grayson got killed, you bitchass"

she's heartbroken by what happened "claggor's death, that's it. i'm heartbroken that vander's dead. vander above claggor"

"they busted in like they caught jayce and viktor doing gay stuff"

"WHERE'S EKKO?" (in regards to where he is at the end of the explosion)

I just thought of how chaotic bodyswapping with either of the leeches would be. Especially in PTM. We have Riddle swapping with Floyd which makes Riddles dorm confused and slighty scared with such a chaotic Riddle then a Floyd trying to calm him down and trying to still manage the dorm as best as he can. Then we have … Jade. I feel like he would seem pretty normal for the most part maybe mimicing Yuu as best as he can or just being very formal and polite. Nothing for Yuu to worry about until Jade figures that thus is a perfect oppurtunity to explore the human body and what better body then his mate (i can imagine this is before they get together), i can see jade dressing up in various outfits and admiring himself in the mirror and maybe even taking a few photos or two, you know for the memories like the freak he is. Not sure if he would go farther than that but I can see Yuu worrying about the possibilities and no one believeing they are Yuu until they can prove it to ADeuce and Grim (who might be more inclined to believe it if they saw Riddle and Floyd before hand). And maybe both Jade and Floyd take this opportunity to make sure they have no rivals, flat out rejecting anyone who they may know has a crush on their mate.

sorry for this long blurb just wanted to share

-����

Aaaah, I get iffy about bodyswaps sometimes since they can get borderline uncomfy, but I am always down for funny stories. Especially in PTM, it's so full of potential for hijinks!

I am down for bodyswaps if it happens when everyone is aware, if that makes sense? For example, Riddle, Jade, and Yuu are all in their potions class working on their in class assignment. But as we know, Floyd likes to ditch class sometimes to go hang with Jade in his classes. It's a bonus that his Goldfishie is also there, makes for a fun time!

Maybe a bit too much fun...he's knocked over the potion the group next to them had been making. It splashed over him and Riddle, who was now steadily raising his voice, and spilled onto the floor, where you managed to slip and drag Jade with you as you grabbed on his lab coat for stability.

The two of you were now covered in the potion, you're mumbling about not having enough detergent for another load so soon, and Jade is clicking his tongue as he got up. He helped you up, gloves wet, shoes grimy, and you two made your way over to the eyewash and shower station in the corner.

Riddle follows, dragging an annoyed Floyd to the station as well so wash up, the latter complaining about not wanting to get wet. Never mind that he is already wet from the potion. It's when you and Jade are stripping your outer layers to wash up, that Floyd reaches to poke at Riddle's cheek.

A small shock of lighting bounced between them, a red one crackling over Floyd and a light teal one over Riddle. Floyd jerks away, tripping over himself and falling on his back. Riddle froze, hands out and eyes darting as he stared between Floyd and his own hands. Like he was processing something...

You're watching him, a bit scared at Riddle's sudden stillness, as Jade kneels down to Floyd murmuring to his twin as Floyd looks around disoriented.

It's when you finally ask Riddle, leaning down to try and make eye contact with him, that Riddle looks at you. He's wide-eyed, and looks a bit feral, as he shouts, “WHAT THE FUCK” at the top of his lungs (eerily similar to a certain twin) that you stumble back in surprise.

You trip, feeling Jade's arms catch you, and only have a moment to process Jade's bare hands against your skin, when an electric feeling, and gray and dark teal lighting dance across your body.

You feel your head split open, and your body feels off, like your gravity of center moved. A small body in your arms groans, shifting in your grasp, as you blink your eyes open. You don't register the person in front of you at first, though they look familiar.

Imagine your shock when their head turns to look at you and a familiar pair of eyes, just like yours, and blinks.

“...Floyd? Wait, no.” your voice sounds foreign to your ears, like a stranger speaking a different language. “That's—why is everything so tall?”

“Is this what it's like to be short? Oh whaaaat?” You snapped your head up to look at Riddle, or the person who looks like him anyways, as he twirled around, giggling. The tone of his voice was off, a lot like Floyd, as he grinned over at your little pile up, and skipped over to where Floyd was still on the ground, looking at Riddle with a horrified expression.

“Riddle leaned down, a teasing smile on is lips, as he cooed, That you in there Goldfishie?”

“...FLOYD GET OUT OF MY BODY!”

Floyd never really yelled, so hearing him was a shock to everyone scrambling around in the lab as they tried to figure out what was going on. Crewel, poor dear Divus Crewel, is so fucking tired.

Thankfully, he can whip up the remedy potion rather easily. Unfortunately, he has a very busy day with classes, and it will have to wait until later in the day. He sends a mass text to the faculty informing them of the accident, and advises that you all continue your day as normal.

“And please, for the love of all that is good in this world, let everyone else know. There's no reason to hide it, the embarrassment cannot possibly be enough that you need to pretend to be each other. Just, let your dorms know and continue as normal in each other's bodies.”

Despite this, hi jinks and pranks still ensue. Mostly initiated by Jade and Floyd, and mostly at yours and Riddle's expense. If you two notice that some of your peers, ones that were particularly soft on you and that others claimed had a crush, suddenly are avoiding you after the switch, the twins just tell you that they had to tell them off.

If the twins ask why one of their transformation potions are gone, you and Riddle better not tell them that you got curious about how being a merman felt like and didn't know how to transform back without using the potion. Unless you want to get teased about it, of course.

They'll find out regardless, and each twin with tease their respective human, asking them why they were so interested in the first place.

“Awww, is my lil Goldfishie interested in being under the sea? Don't worry, I'll make sure you're all prepped before taking ya back home with me!”

“If you wanted to know what being a mer is like, you could have asked me~ I'd be happy to make you a potion and take you to the depths with me. I have several lovely, private areas that I think you'd greatly enjoy.”

Maybe this is what you all needed to break the ice? Or maybe it just makes it thicker, I'll leave it up to you!
