#definitely in the mood to rewatch it hehe

Face reveal

[bourbon-ontherocks]

… il était bizarre ce chapitre de PQENCEL… (as far as I’m concerned the newbie’s full name is timothée daniel paul guichard, now. also I think he has grounds to get morgane fired for sexual harassment) but jarring similarities aside, I barely have anything to say about 303, tbh? it was ok. the blorbos didn’t break me this time, I won’t need 5-10 business days to recover 😅 the most emotion I felt was when gilles expressed his hurt, moh 🥲 though roxane clearly was the star of the show this time (and I’m glad it inspired you fic-wise, hehe). I wonder when she’s gonna pull the "your colleague kissed you and you forgot to mention it?" card 😏 by the way… anyone else felt something in the air when she saved morgane’s life? no? just me? 👀

star #2 was SOFIANE 💓😍💖💘🥰 our prayers have been answered!!!!! 🫶 he managed to be snarky in a total of 2 lines. hope he comes back for much more! glad they brought bonnemain back too 😄 in a way the cast-related excitement made up for the lukewarm plot. speaking of, what’s more unlikely: a teenager channeling early 00’s energy by choosing "bledigirl" for a stage name, or the fact she didn’t figure out "princesse" was autobiographical because the name of her cousin is literally the title of the song? je veux bien qu’elle ait pas la réf à un film des années 1970 mais le coup du prénom, quoi 😭

gotta say I loved the beard running gag, lol. there’s something terribly wrong with le commandant’s face, mais quoi… 😂 (+ it has a tiny backstory! unexpected) love daphné’s inability to hide her digust. as well as her willingness to lend her new responsibilities to morgane’s scheming. AND (she was so good in this ep) "on peut mieux faire" re: women murderers… daph, never change 🤣💛 she must be so proud of their own statistics!

surprised adam was the one saying the episode title this time. ushering in a new trend, perhaps? it was entertaining to see him bear with morgane’s passive-agressivity. (now that I think about it, the tension throughout this ep probs felt surface-level because we didn’t get a glimpse into the characters’ feelings… et qu’est-ce qu’un chapitre de PQENCEL sans débrief ?) did like the phone cord thread; look at morgane letting him back into her life by stealing his charger! oui j’ai décidé que c’était symbolique. 😂 thank you for your patience and see you on thursday! 👻❣️

Oh my gosh, anon!! So let me just start by saying that I felt TOUT PAREIL the first time I watched that ep! It was even one of my least faves ever. But full disclaimer: this episode grew on me A LOT through the rewatches.

And the more I've thought about it, the more I believe that this ep isn't odd in itself, but it definitely feels so when lined up with the previous two. There's a real and quite unexplained tone shift here, which I think is tied with the whole comedy/dramedy switch and the fact that eps 1 and 2 were shot in July so probs still in the spirit of season 2 (due to the early shooting date, we can assume they were written at the same time as late S2 eps, and the writing of the rest of S3 probs resumed a couple of months later) while ep 3 inaugurates a darker mood for the season. Now let's dive into the specifics.

I wasn't joking when I said that Parce qu'entre nous predicted the season. Targeted home attack? Subsequent police protection? Banging the said protection barely two nights in? I SCREAMED (although while I'm all for Morgane getting some good time this season bc she clearly deserved it, couldn't they at least give her somebody enticing to look at? My guy Paul/Daniel/whatever his name emotes like wet bread. Ew.)(also yeah, I'm kinda bummed with the obvious lack of consent here, not in itself since it narratively and character-wise makes sense, but in the fact that the whole thing is filmed under a ~comedy angle while it would have been completely inappropriate to do so had the genders been reversed. Something something equality works both ways you know? Yikes)

Gilles expressing his hurt and preaching for forgiving to the people who hurt you has to be one of my favourite scenes in the ep and the season (don't get me started on it because I'll start to tear up and word-vomit a non-coherent rant), but I'm surprised it was the most emotion you got from ep 3? I'll get back to the other emotional scenes that I found worth noticing later though, otherwise this post is gonna be all over the place. So Gilles. GILLES, my baby, my love. The thing is, I love Morgane, but she tends to be extremely toxic to everyone around her, she uses people, she doesn't apologize, she ghosts them, she doesn't care about their feelings. And the fact that someone gets to tell her exactly that, that she HURTS people, the people who actually love her and care about her enough to get her out of jail, and the fact that of all people it's Gilles who gets to tell her that, well it made my heart swell. Because Gilles is the nicest person who has ever lived and that makes his speech way more impactful than if it had been Céline's or Adam's.

Also his words are literally the reason why Morgane finally reopens the door to Adam a little at the end of the episode, but again, I'll get to that later.

Let me just tell you that I absolutely love Roxane's arc this season and the way she no longer takes bullshit from anyone. I personally don't think that she bought Morgane's lies on who kissed who, and I do believe she already knows it was entirely Adam's initiative, although that's a personal headcanon of course. Not sure I felt any vibe between her and Morgane though but you know, I can get onboard that train pretty easily!

Now as for Sofiane, I must say I was glad he's back, and true he manages to be snarky in two lines, but my problem is that he ONLY got two lines?? Like... What was the point of calling him back just for this???? 😭 I need moar. Also Bonnemain wasn't gone, he was here in 301 if I remember correctly?

The implausible parts of the case didn't particularly hit me but also I haven't been a teenager in a looooong time now, so I didn't exactly notice the vintage vibes of bledigirl although it's quite obvious now that you pointed it out (I'm having skyblogs war flashbacks now, thank you very much 😂). And as for Sarah's name I'm not sure to see where you're heading at? Cause if it's Princess Sarah then I wouldn't have had the ref either (while I did get the Peau d'Âne one lol), but again, my teenage years are far ago.

Now Daphné. I juste LOVE how we get to see more of her in the season (not saying more but... yea) and the unexpected development of having her as the new workplace discrimination referee was a GENIUS move. The "on peut mieux faire" line has to be one of my absolute faves in the ENTIRE show (je crois qu'elle a même détrôné "excusez-moi de m'intéresser" c'est dire), and her reaction to Adam's glabre face was priceless (as was the whole shaved-his-beard thread, at least we got a consolation prize for losing beardie 🥲).

I actually never noticed that it was Morgane who'd usually say out loud the eps titles? Wasn't it Bonnemain who said Phyllobates Terribilis? Or Gilles who said 55 kilos first? To me the titles always refer to one of the clues that get Morgane to solve the puzzle but it never occurred to me she was the one saying them haha.

Mais bon en vrai on s'en fout parce que c'était juste pour introduire la partie sur Adam et... Okay.

"the tension throughout this ep probs felt surface-level because we didn’t get a glimpse into the characters’ feelings"

So this is exactly the part that grew on me with subsequent rewatches. I guess I was perhaps expecting too much, or was too used to writing myself what was happening in the blorbos' heads, to really get into what happens here on my first watch. But there's actually so much going on, blorbos-wise it is now one of my fave eps in the season!! (There's also some mildly annoying borderline ooc stuff happening but I'll get to that). Morgane is hurting so badly in this episode it's honestly heart-wrenching.

Obviously she's not going to show it eagerly, but it's visible at first in the way she flinches when Théa asks her if she's ready to work with Adam again (which also makes me wonder how much exactly Théa knows about what happened but that's a topic for another day). Then she goes full-on passive-aggressive mode with Adam, which says a lot, it all culminates in the cringiest song ever (I pasted the full lyrics in the end if you're curious), and then Adam does what??

He confronts her! Il essaye de communiquer !! Il veut crever l'abcès 🥹 And she cannot say it. She's the one who always comes up with angry punchlines but right now she's hurting so much she doesn't even have it in her to SAY IT 😭😭😭 and storms out instead. cue my first death in this episode.

BUT. She might be hurting and angry, she'll still lie to Roxane to protect his relationship. While she could very understandably retaliate by tanking it. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 Cue my second death, obviously.

Now we're getting to the part I honestly didn't like so much, because Morgane just got out of prison, and then she escapes a murder attempt, and nobody gives a shit about it? They can be mad at her all they want, and Adam can be shocked to find Roxane at Morgane's place, what happened to "je tiens à vous" huh? I didn't write "j'ai droit à un câlin à chaque fois que je frôle la mort ?" for nothing, and also I need to check that bingo box, thank you very much 😠😭 So I get that Adam is in the quite delicate situation of "oh shit, looks like wifey and mistress are hanging out behind my back", mais franchement ça lui arracherait une molaire de demander à Morgane comment elle va ?

Biggest OOC move from him as far as I'm concerned. 🔪🔪🔪

Now...

Actually wait no, I'm still angry, give me a minute.

...

Where was I? The show sort of made up for it after that because Adam being in charge of her protection!! While he's mad at her because he's thinking she ratted him out to Roxane!! And she's mad at him because, well, you know!! She physically cannot stand to be in the same room as he is and they are forced to hang out?? And he gets it? And he tries to talk to her but then the pressure explodes? And she FINALLY says it out loud? And exposes her feelings in a clearer way than she's ever done before? Because what else putting Adam at the same level as [redacted] means but "I was in love with you too"???? Cue my third and final death right here.

And finally, for me the phone charger thread as a symbol is not a theory, it's a fact! The way they insisted on how she refuses to use it at first to not owe him anything, for her to eventually steal it after Gilles' speech about forgiveness is pretty transparent, and so is her final joke about his beard. And the way she delivers this final line? This was absolutely not what she intended to tell him. She just didn't master the courage to say out loud "I forgive you", so she settled for something much safer but the meaning remains. Cue my undefined stare at the ceiling 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Honorable mentions to:

Jérôme's burnout? How? When? I need answers 😂

Céline yelling TIMOTHÉE ?! in the precinct

The cats

THE ELEVATOR STARE 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I didn't include it to the blorbos' emotional journey because it wasn't painful but my! God! the! absolute! tension! here!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Cue my actual death

And the lyrics to Morgane's song if anyone's interested:

C'est l'histoire d'un amant Qui s'est pris pour un Don Juan T'as cru qu'il était ti-gen Parce que le gars mettait ses gants Il t'a fait nan-nan-nan Chérie tu te méprends

C'est l'histoire d'un condé Qu'a voulu jouer les BG Il s'est pris pour Superman Mais il bouffe trop de kouign amann J'ai fait miam miam miam Par ici le croque-madame

J'fais monter la mayo (x3) Pour le poulet... (suite incompréhensible)

T'as cru qu'il était gentil Parce qu'il portait un képi Mais c'était que du mépris Il t'a tej comme un débris

[v-anrouge]

exposing myself on the internet for a character assignment go brrrrr

also: *sweats in aroace*

Okay so I possess a distinct lack of hobbies because ✨ mental illness ✨ and also I am a total hikkineet. I do however, have less active hobbies like drawing, painting, reading/writing. I do enjoy rewatching Musicals from my childhood whenever I’m feeling down or generally empty. Some faves would be “The Sound Of Music”, “Mary Poppins” and “Anastasia”. Ya boi likes singing along with em even though I am terrible at it hehe ❤️

God okay. My personality. Uhh. I have a lot of feelings (and cry a lot) and I am extremely affection starved so show me positive attention and compliment me and I am fucking worshipping the ground you walk on so.. affectionate? I guess. Also Kind of quiet. I’m in my head a lot, and I have anxiety about voicing my opinion and thoughts to people. Especially irl. I’ll usually just remain silent or provide a few comments but otherwise mainly a listener. But if it’s a special interest and I can see that you are actively listening to me instead of waiting for me to stop talking I’ll turn into a walking Encyclopedia about Said thing. I do love physical affection but only when I am in the mood for it lol.

Giving love language is acts of service and gift giving (flashbacks to the time I offered to buy you something even though we barely knew each other). Receiving love language is words of affirmation probably idk i have 3 irl Friends outside of Family so my experience on the matter is limited.

Also people who are audibly/visibly angry will set off my fight/flight/freeze response and I will physically distance myself from them due to discomfort/fear. I’d also definitely go non-verbal as a result. This would be a time where touching me could result in a panic attack/me just crying lmao

Okay bare with me here because I have never actively considered my type so I’m only really thinking about it now

Type wise, perhaps someone kind but firm, I’d say? I lack a lot of motivation, self-discipline and self-respect, so a partner who is gentle, accomodating and understanding of my situation but isn’t afraid to call bullshit when they see it would definitely be preferable. Also direct communication because I CANNOT read between the lines. And.. someone who would go places with me. Not even for like the cute coupley things like Dates and Shopping or whatever (though that would be great too) but literally as a Support Person for stressful situations like dentists, doctors and other such appointments. Lord knows I need it because I stutter so badly when talking to strangers irl and stare straight at the ground and go silent when I inevitably become embarrassed at my lack of social skills💀 I don’t really have a strong preference for any hobbies a partner might have, but it would be cool to watch musicals together. And dress up and stuff. Maybe even cosplay. Idk just Indulging in each others hobbies would be fun. Also I struggle with like, mobile(?) communication and find it difficult to take the initiative to start text convos or call people, so they’d need to take the lead on that otherwise I may accidentally end up ghosting them. Not maliciously, but as I said, ya boy is stuck in his own little world a lot.

Also my favourite colour is green! HEX Code : #9AEEC8 (this probably wasn’t necessary but teehee)

And if a partner can’t handle spice I will constantly give them shit for it but in an affectionate way ❤️

(THIS WAS SO LONG IM SO SORRY IDK HOW TO SHUT UP WHEN PPL GIVE ME ATTENTION 😭)

THIS IS PERFECT ACTUALLY U GAVE A LOT OF DETAILS VERY IMPORTANT DETAILS AND THAT MAKES RHE JOB WAY EASIER!!

I match you with...

ROOK HUNT let me start this off by saying that this can be taken in both a platonic or romantic way and that in either way u and rook are like made for eachother im serious like u two are fucking inseparable, rook absolutely adores everything about you, you two have A LOT in common and he LIVES for it, rook and you can constantly be found almost sobbing over eachother and how much you mean to eachother, you two are so close people consider u both goals (couple or friendship it's up to u). rook is absolutely sure you two are soulmates he has never felt so connected to someone like he feels connected to you

rook loves spending time with you he adores talking to you even if to other ppl it might seem like he's being ignored rook knows he isn't he knows that you are listening intently to him and he loves it, most people hate it when he starts talking to them since he talks A LOT but you? you don't mind it! you stay there and listen to him ramble and sometimes even join him! rook always feel so warm when he manages to make you feel safe enough to ramble and infodump him and he'll be very happy if you allow him to do the same in exchange you two have a lot of interests in common and love talking about them to ppl that actually care so this normally ends w u both talking for hours non-stop and not even noticing as time goes by (not u two talking about vil for 5 hours straight)

rook absolutely adores your works, wether it's a drawing, a painting or a piece u wrote he'll love to see it, he could spend hours talking about your works seriously it became one of his special interests his ur number 1 fan now he'll always hype you up and even do some of them with you (like painting and reading together etc)

rook swears he can feel his heart exploding in his heart when u give him a gift this man won't stop smiling as he goes on and on about how much he absolutely adores you and how much he loves the gift and how he's so honored and happy to receive something like that and there's literal tears on his eyes as he does so, rook feels so happy when you offer to help him too, it means he gets more time to spend with you! and rook loves spending time with you<3

if you like words of affirmation than rook is the man for you, this man constantly writes poems about you and the special connection you two share and even though he has written multiple of them somehow they never ever look the same it's always so fresh as if it was his first time writing something like that, it also never fails to make you smile rook is very observant so he'll def know what makes you smile and he WILL be making a LOT of use of his privileged knowledge

rook knows how you get when someone is mad and being loud about it so whenever rook feels an situation escalating he'll immediately take you away from it and make sure you're okay, if rook ever happens to arrive to late he'll do his best to help you calm down, rook is super patient and even if you go non-verbal rook somehow still always know what to say and what to do, if you like company in times like these rook will not leave your side, he'll constantly be making sure you're feeling alright and comfortable and paying attention to your body language if you can't speak

rook will always encourage you to try new things at the same time he'll immediately take you out of any situations that make you extremely uncomfortable, for rook it isn't easy to trust people, however he trusts you, and he wants you to trust him back so he wants to be there for you, to show you he will always be by your side to support you and he wishes that you feel the same towards him

if you want to talk to someone or ask for anything but you're too nervous because they're a stranger rook will offer himself to do it for you, he has no problems doing that for you, rook would never shame anyone for not having good social skills because rook himself used to be very shy as a kid and he understands how hard it can be to talk to strangers

rook LOVES to watch and re-watch musicals with you! it's one of his favorite things to do, rook feels so happy when he's watching a musical you two like by your side he truly wishes that moments like these lasted forever, because there is no place rook would rather be than by your side

other possibilities: vil ( u two are like made for eachother seriously as i read ur info i was like omfg it makes sense why you love vil so much) lilia, cater & malleus

Nine People Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @rayless-reblogs! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these :333

Last Song:

I listened to Dawn by CircusP! I love the demo he did for the Solaria synth voice and I find it a somewhat comforting song to listen to. I actually dig Solaria’s voice bank a lot and I’m excited to see what other creators do with her.

Last Movie:

Probably the Venom films. I never watched them when they came out because I’m pretty burnt out of superhero movies in general...but I was curious enough about why all the monsterfuckers were into them and was willing to give it a try. I definitely figured out why they like them and I might actually see the next Venom movie out of curiosity.

Currently Watching:

I’m not ACTIVELY watching anything right now... but I intend on watching Mike Flannagan’s The Midnight Club pretty soon. I just need to be in the right mood to watch it since it seems pretty depressing. I rewatched Severance slightly recently and that was just as good as I recalled.

Currently Reading:

I actually just finished reading The Legacy of Yangchen by F.C. Yee yesterday, so I haven’t started anything new yet. I liked it a lot and it was relaxing to read before bed (despite how this was not a relaxing time at all for poor Yangchen). I’m also eagerly waiting for the next book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, which was the first time I’ve ever read LitRPG outside of a webcomic.

Currently Craving:

Brownies...which I actually have in the kitchen so I’ll be grabbing those after I finish this hehe

Last Thing I Searched for Writing:

I searched up methods to treat a sprained ankle and what one looked like. A few days ago I was looking up military ranking for a fic I haven’t released yet.

Three Ships:

This is not a simple answer because I have so, so many... but my biggest ship of all time is Beat/Joshua (TWEWY). My URL was actually this ship for a while. It was the first not het ship I ever had so it has a special place in my heart. A crossover crack ship I have is Dhaos/Duke from their respective Tales games... and thanks to a friend, I now really like the idea of Van/Largo from Abyss lmao

Tagging:

My brain is pretty smooth right now, so I probably won’t tag a lot of people. just @fray--myste, @unwontedfemme, @thisintermezzo, and @mohsthetic

[luvrodite]

tag game!

Rules: list eight shows for your followers to get to know you better.

I was tagged by @st-eve-barnes thank u lovely!!! these are not in any particular order, just what came to mind!

gilmore girls: i watched this for the first time during my last year of high school and it's become one of my comfort shows. definitely my go to when i want to watch something but i'm not in the mood to start something new

teen wolf: shaped the better part of my teenage years, and recently (a year or so ago) rewatched it with my sibling. i miss that era of my life so much lmfao 2015/2016 and comic con interviews etc (for all the big shows at the time, honestly, it was so good)

supernatural: oh my god. watched the bugs and bloody mary episodes in like ?? 2010 when i was eight or something and it was a core memory. properly started watching it when i was 15 i think and i was literally such a die-hard fan of the show. one of my og tumblr blogs was literally just me rb-ing spn self inserts. such a fun time on the internet. bit of a cult tbh but fun times, even though i never finished it.

derry girls: another comfort show!!!! never ever fails to make me giggle and i always return to it every few months. so so so dear to my heart <3333

anne with an e: SO dear to me oh my god. the whimsy! the romanticism! one of the few shows i consistently stuck with through to the end, from release to cancellation. shaped my young adulthood, from i think 15 to 18. came at the perfect time of my life. so so dear to me.

normal people: i think about marianne and connell almost always. came at the perfect time of my life, too. i watched it just before lockdown in 2020, but only the portions set in highschool, i think and then finished it a year later, after so much in my life had happened. i have complex feelings about sally rooney and the book but it never fails to make me feel something, watching paul mescal and daisy edgar jones. the high school portion is what stands out to me most i think, because it was what i remembered so much when lockdown and all that came with it happened.

marianne: i watched this with one of my best friends, and i really really liked the cinematography, and the storytelling. loved the production, and the subtext, all the messy feelings between the protagonists and the themes of friendship and family and love. really creepy and scary, but also felt so human.

the sex lives of college girls: so funny! did not like the ending to the last season, but i liked the characters a lot prior to that. also love ensemble cast shows <3 loved the development of their friendships and their character arcs (leighton!!!!!) watched this during the summer hols this year and stayed up all night watching it hehe

no pressure tagging some of my lovely moots: @theold-ultraviolence @flowerpotmage @oldtowrs

[taegularities]

Loveliest Rid 💕💕

I personally love everything that comes from your beautiful mind (or at least everything you choose to share with us) so I wouldn't be too worried about the second part if I were you, even though I'm sure it is very nerve wracking to put out into the world something you've worked hard on.

Also please don't hesitate to say that you're doing okay 🥺 Life is full of good and bad moments both and the bad ones will inevitably come too, regardless of whether we acknowledge the good ones. So in my view, we should enjoy the good or okay times as much as we can while they're happening. Although I completely understand the hesitance when the bad times have been happening particularly often 😔

And about that guy 😒😒😒 I'm sorry he made you feel stressed out like that. But weirdos will be weirdos and that's entirely their problem 😤😤😤

I've also been doing okay, haven't felt like doing much in particular. I've stayed at home quite a bit because I had the house to myself which is a rarity for me and I really enjoy my uninterrupted alone time (like the typical virgo that I am 🙄🙄🙄). I have a smol break coming up at the end of this upcoming week in which I have to get a few things done for uni! And then perhaps a little trip abroad at the end of the month? (literally just for two days, but still exciting!)

Oh and also I watched Your Name the other day as per your recommendation a bit ago and it was great! Very cute but also pretty emotional, I've gotta say! I kept thinking of both you and Jungkook while watching it because I know he likes it too 🥺🥺🥺 I used to watch so many more movies, maybe I should start again, been feeling like watching ones heavy on romance but not like romcoms, you know? Maybe I'll just rewatch some of my favourites to get in the mood first.

Anywayyy after another one of my signature rants, I'm sending you all the luck with finishing up editing and whatnot and also my endless love 💞💞💞

thank you ivi, i reread and edited everything and definitely feel a little less worried about it now! :') i'm somewhat liking what i put down, but i'm still very curious to see what you guys think 🤍

and you're right 😭 it's so scary how hard it can sometimes be to enjoy the good times. i always try to be optimistic tho, like things will be ok, i'm sure hehe so i agree with you !! and ugh yeah fck that guy, i hope that was the last time 😭

a trip is so exciting, love 🥺 2 days feel endless on vacay, in a good way, so i hope you have a lot of fun. you deserve it after working your ass off for school !!! and AH YOU WATCHED YOUR NAME? this is seriously one of my favourite movies ever :') i watched it way before i knew bts, so to know jk cried to it as much as i did was so ahshsjrkska he's just like us fr :(((

i'm so happy you enjoyed it. if you need more recs, i'm here anytime hehe 🤍

[autisticempathydaemon]

Thank you for doing this! And also thank you for making me aware of the personality tests hehe :))

I got equal amounts type 4 and type 8 on the chart and I’m an INFP. (I don’t know what these mean I hope it isn’t bad 😭)

What is you go to way to fall asleep?

A lot of the time I stay up so late that I fall asleep without even meaning to but if I can’t sleep then sleep aids or sad music do the trick more often than not. And if we’re talking about positions I always sleep on my side with like one leg up. I know it’s bad for your back but it’s sooo comfy.

What redacted boy holds no appeal to you and why?

Ollie is probably my least listened to. He seems like a really sweet character but I just can’t seem to get into his videos, I would say it might be because they’re more mundane than the others but my other two least faves (out of the love interests) are probably Gavin and Vincent so that doesn’t add up.

Tell me about the one book/movie/tv show you know all the words too.

Bojack Horseman. I think the shows really clever and I often find myself rewatching and finding new details every-time. I think it’s a bit of a comfort which is strange since the main character is basically always in trouble for something but a lot of the characters talk about relatable things that I’d never seen anyone else mention before.

If you had to change your name what would it be and why?

Laurie. My mum wanted to name me that when I was born but my dad didn’t like it. I prefer it to my irl name so probably that. I’ve also always liked the name Parker.

Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted too?

Huxley. I’m not too sure why I think it’s cause he’s so easy going. I love camping and also find myself a digging holes a lot so that could also be a reason lol but if I could hang out with any redacted character it would definitely be him.

Which song are you fixated on and why?

The boys are back in town by thin lizzy. There’s not a specific verse or anything it just came on randomly whilst I was running and now I can’t stop listening to it I’d completely forgotten it existed.

Do you have a go to thing you ramble about when tired?

If I’m tired I tend to not be very talkative at all. I prefer listening to other people talk but if I am in a rambling mood it would probably be about things that happened irl or Animals.

What is your favourite of redacted audios and why?

Besides my favourite characters entire playlist. I’d say either the inversion or Aaron’s sleep aid. I really like the inversion I just think the story telling and emotions are amazing and you get to hear so many different characters. And there’s just something about Aaron’s sleep aid that make me feel happy. I think it’s the way Smartass falls asleep in the chair with him.

I hope this isn’t too long and if you have a lot to do don’t worry about skipping this one! Happy time zone friend!!

Hmm, this was a thunker, since Four and Eight are a really interesting combination. What I think they have in common is an intelligent independence, a self-reliance that Elliott could really work with.

Both Fours and Eights seem to be characterized by a strong sense of identity- they have an unshakable confidence in who they are and who they want to be. Elliott strikes me as an excellent partner for this type of person, because he’s very supportive and loving in his own genial, earnest way, if you know what I mean? He would be neither overbearing nor neglectful. Elliott would just always be by your side, encouraging and kind and ready to support you however and whenever you may need.

Additionally, I think you and Elliott would like a lot of the same things~ You mentioned loving camping, which reminded me of the dreamscape he made with the campfire by the lake and made me picture of the two of you going together, fighting over who gets to control the aux cord on the way there. I can also see him coming over on another normal Friday night and ready to settle in for a night of watching your favorite show together.

Song:

I want the world in my hands/ I hate the beach/ But I stand in California with my toes in the sand/ Use the sleeves of my sweater/ Let's have an adventure

Elliott strikes me as a The Neighbourhood boy, and I cannot put into words why. He just is. I like this song for him in particular because the vibes and tone of it are so romantic and dreamy (pun intended). It’s the kind of song on the kind of playlist he’d have for your nights together- chill, lo-fi kind of tunes that would play while you talk through the night or fall asleep together.

Runner-Ups:

Damien was definitely a contender for runner-up. Other than the Enneagram type, where I think of Damien as a Six, I think y’all have a lot of similarities like your sleep hygiene and the type of shows you like. James strikes me as another good match because of his stable, solid temperament that I think would match well with a thoughtful, independent partner.

Note: thank you so much for waiting! The long distance bf flew into town, so I’ve been distracted, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things 💕

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[reikaryu]

Hello hello, secret Santa popping back in!! sorry for disappearing for a bit!

The violin is definitely fun, even when it feels like torture 🤣 If you ever get the chance I highly recommend giving it a go!!! 

ooh eggless cookies?? I’ve never heard of them before, are they good? I know you mentioned the baking, but what about other cooking do you do you like to do that too? 

lol thats such a mood with the Christmas tree. It’s like a giant nightlight 😂thank you thank you! I’m doing my best to enjoy every moment as well!! Also can I just say that I love your energy about the holidays!!! You strike me as someone who just loves the atmosphere of good company and just making the most out of it❣️

On the topic of gose, have you seen the newest one? Or do you have a favorite gose episode?

AGREED!! Once I’ve started down the rabbit hole, I can’t get enough. Ooohhh private relationship is always a good one!! and you can never go wrong with fluff, it’s always the soft moments that get you giggling and kicking your feet!! Is there anything else you look for in a good story? 

Holiday question of the day: what does an ideal Christmas look like to you? Is it the people? or the activities? Is there something particular that just makes it extra special?

-🎄

yes the cookies are super good but better when they’re harder and crunchier! it melts in your mouth too btw 🤤 I’m actually not that good at cooking lol … I only know how to cook instant noodles 😛🤘🏻

BINGO YOU GOT IT RIGHT I may come off as awkward at first but I’m a serious yapper … maybe not always but when I do have the energy and the right topic I will talk my ass off mwahahaha I’m an introvert who likes making friends and talking to people 😋

they have too many gose eps I don’t even know which was the first 😔 so no favourite, I love them all! (special mention to water sports TTT) and no I haven’t seen the latest one — I’m halfway through 107 which is the class prez ep. super exited to see who ends up as class prez >:D

so true so true 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 hmmmmmmm ……. I think, in general, anything is a good story as long as you enjoy writing it! but personally, a good story captures the little things, the details of each scene. some books I’ve read are very dialogue heavy, and words that people speak are barely enough for the reader to grasp the situation. I would add some actions between the dialogues, describe the way the character says things. I like these kinda stuff because it gives me a nice little break from too much description and/or dialogue.

something less complicated: flow is always a good thing to remember 😁

okay so when someone says christmas I think of the trees of course, hot cocoa and stockings LOL 😭 I’m big on christmas but my family’s not christian so we don’t celebrate it full out, and hence no stockings 😔 and I think the most fun christmas activity is playing with snow hehe it never ever snows here so that’s definitely something I want during christmas season

it feels like a normal day every christmas but we have a movie night to make it a little more special! we watch christmas movies all week of course, most importantly the princess switch >:) we need a fourth movie so we don’t end up rewatching everything until we get sick of it 😭

since christmas is approaching soon, I wanna say I can’t wait to know who you are !! you’re such a nice person to talk to we better become moots when your identity is revealed 😼

this past month I started painting a lot with like..actual paints and brushes. it was really hard to step away from the computer and pick up something physical but lately I feel like I had lost some creative spark so it was nice to just. paint a piece of old wood......

it was an old jewelry box I had as a child that had faded over time so I thought i'd make it my own…I'm planning to glue some glass tiles to it later and make it a disco (ball) box !!!!

Anyone Want To Role Play?

Last update: 10/22/21

Newest update: 12/20/21

Before I get started please excuse the grammatical errors I most likely made on this post.. I'm literally only human mate. If im missing anything or forgetting to add anything to this post I'll probably come back to it later. Anyway let's start.

_

Just wanted to say that since I have not much of a life and I'm bored as hell that I wanna roleplay/rp. I would go back to actually writing but I don't have the drive that I used to so oh well. Only text me though if you're a literate roleplayer if not, don't even talk to me yo hehe. I only have one roleplay partner at the time (and I love them dearly they just get busy) (UPDATE: Now I have three other people I role play with, keep that in mind!)

ACCOUNTS WITHOUT AGES IN THEIR BIOS WILL BE BLOCKED!

Anyway I can do character x character but like.. I'm in the mood for some of oc x cc roleplays and by that I mean this:

I rp your favourite character and my oc and you do the same by rping my fav and your oc. For more of what I'm trying to say, since people get confused, is that if I wanted to rp The Arcana (which I hella am right now) You'd be my fav character or the character I want and your also rp your oc with that response you made with the character and I'd do vice versa.

Anyway some fandoms I feel like doing rn/or have done are:

The Arcana

Hazbin Hotel

Genshin Impact (Still new to the game but I'm down to play! I CALL KAEYA 👀)

Jujutsu Kaisan (Also still new to it, rewatching the first season! Gotta look into and understand the characters some more but Gojo and Geto are hot)

Beastars

Obey Me

Tokyo Revengers (AGED UP/TIME SKIPPED UNLESS YOURE LOOKING FOR AN 'INNOCENT' RP WHERE THEY TAKE PLACE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! )

Demon Slayer

Hunter x Hunter

Castlevania (RECENTLY ADDED)

FNAF (Security Breach) (RECENTLY ADDED) (I call sun and moon ùwú)

Etc that I'll probably add here later.

...Honestly that's it rn.. I haven't been watching anime like I used to so while I wouldn't rp certain shows I'm just not interested in doing so atm. However if y'all want to suggest shows to me for me to watch and I like it, maybe we can rp those then but only if I like em. Same for if you have some Otome games you might wanna suggest to me since I'm more likely to play those than to sit down and watch anime these days..

_

Anyway the characters I've done from the Arcana have been: Lucio, Julian, Vulgora, and Asra. So if any of those are your favourites then I can definitely rp them for you. It's been a while since I've played the game though so I'm going to start it all over so keep that in mind just in case I rp them a little ooc. Forgive me in advance.

From that fandom I want whoever I end up rping with to either rp: Julian, Nadia, Lucio, Valerius, or Valdemar. I'm REALLY craving Valdemar though so if you do a good job rping them PLEASE hit me up and marry me. 😍

Now for the characters I've done from Hazbin Hotel are: Husk, AngelDust, Charlie, Valentino and Alastor.

Who I would like would be: AngelDust, Sir Pentious, Vox, Valentino, or Alastor and from those choices I would LOVE Alastor or Vox. So hit me up especially if you can do Alastor.

For the other fandoms it'll be my FIRST time role playing any of them so please keep that in mind.

Now I wanted to say really quickly that I've been role playing for six or seven years, give or take, however as many of you know I haven't been writing stories like I used to since if it writers block and cause of shitty people on this app but whatever.. I'm using role playing to get back into (possibly) writing because not only have I not been writing on this account but accounts all over different platforms that belong to me also haven't been updated.. I miss writing but I hate people rushing me for stories and using me so yeah.

The point of me saying all this is to say I'm rusty so if you do decide to rp with me just now some replies may be a little iffy but we'll be okay either way lol.

The genre's of roleplays I do are mainly:

Angst

Smut

Gore

Psychological

Yandere & Trauma core - and by this I mean some really taboo things.I won't list it all here but if you have questions ask in my damn dms. Ex: kidnapping, non-con, etc etc!! There's more to it I want to add so if you have questions like I said just ask. And for the people currently punching air at this part, yandere and trauma core is like a coping mechanism, maybe not the best but at least no one's actively getting hurt. If you are a CONSENTING ADULT, much like I am, and you are down that's all that matters. No one here will demonize you babes.

Etc..

IF WE ROLE PLAY SMUT YOU HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR KINKS AND WHAT YOU ARE AND ARENT OK WITH ROLE PLAYING!! I'D HATE TO RP SOMETHING THAT CAUSES YOU OR I ISSUES OR PUT US IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION!

EDIT - YOU NEED TO EITHER HAVE A PLOT BEFORE TEXTING ME OR HELP MY COME UP WITH ONE WHEN WE TEXT! IF YOU DONT THEN THATS IT.

When role playing with me as well tell me if you intend to be a long term rp partner or short term. It helps because there's nothing that makes me angrier than someone who says they'll stay only to ghost me. If you're that type of person then don't even text me. If you have a busy life just tell me when you have to leave to do something before just disappearing. I ask that because I have trauma so yeah..

When introducing your oc you can send me art or a bio or both. I like seeing other people's ocs and I like showing others mines. I'm bad at names so all of my ocs go by the same name but for the sake of this post, my oc for The Arcana name is Aradia and for Hazbin Hotel she's Adalia. (I use the name Adalia for both but like I said.. for the sake of the post..) In your bio you can put anything you see fit to tell me about the character just as long as I get some good info. I can also send a bio for you all if you ask.

IF you have plots you want to try out or tell me about then do so or we can make plots together.

I'm multi-para and novella so if you could be the same when role playing that would be nice. I'm thinking about making a side account for this Tumblr so that if we need to talk about personal things it won't be on the rp chats but other chats where we can talk about whatever it is as much as possible.

In the end I just want to role play and have fun doing so! If you're down for all this please hit me up. I literally habe nothing better to do.. Also sorry for all the typos again, I'm in a bit of a rush and I'm in a situation where I'm on a heavy ass tablet instead of my phone since my phone is broke and I'm too poor to get another one so yeah. I'll care more about fixing words and sentences in role plays since that's where all of it will matter.

EDIT: IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS DM ME. IM A SWITCH BUT I LIKE TO BOTTOM AND YES IM JUST POINTING THAT OUT RN FOR YOU GUYS. ILL ONLY TOP FOR YOUR FAV CHARACTER SO IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT MAKE SURE TO TELL ME IN CHAT.

Anyway bye guys! I'll be waiting to see if anyone wants to get started, if no one does well.. it was a good shot I guess lolol. People don't rp like they used to anymore so I understand. Hope everyone has a good morning/evening/night! 😙😙😙

[marc-spectorr]

hiya callie!! this one is gonna be long, so prepare yourself >:]

thank you so much for all the music recs! i’m gonna listen to all of em after i send this ask, and i’m so excited to. :D my music taste is also very mixed, and it was hard for me to find fitting songs as well, but i’m sure yours fit wonderfully. i’ve been a glass animals fan for 5~ years now, n i couldn’t recommend their music enough. some good albums to start with are how to be a human being, my favorite, and dreamland! (that’s the one heat waves is from, all the songs have pretty similar vibes.)

sunnie!! i’m so glad my dog brightened your mood. <3 she just turned 4, so we baked her and her brother a cake! she didn’t like it too much, but her brother definitely did hehe. they’re… basically my children. n she loves you too. :]]]

but callie!! star wars is so good, i know you’ve probably gotten this a lot, but please watch it. i don’t blame you or judge you for not seeing any of em, in fact, i had only seen the sequels until two-ish years ago, when i watched all the films. but it’s such a great franchise, i’m rewatching the sequels now, deeeeefinitely not just for poe dameron. (though i do admit the thought of a poe fic from you has me excited-)

i think my favorite piece of star wars media is the mandalorian though. it’s a disney plus show, starring oscar’s space sister, pedro pascal. :] i won’t spoil anything, but i love it because it shows how it is to live as a normal person, and not a jedi, in the star wars universe. and speaking of disney plus shows, the new obi-wan show is great as well, but it’s a bit hard to understand what’s going on with no prior knowledge teehee. you can probably look up a timeline for yourself, to prevent confusion.

but enough about star wars! i took your advice to heart, n guess what? i started writing a moon knight fic! due to the anonymous nature of… well… all of this, it will probably be hard to tell which fic is the one i wrote. but! it will be a sfw fic abt marc and jake, angsty because i am angsty. if you ever do read it i hope you enjoy it, and thank you so much for inspiring me to write again. it’s been a while, but my beta reader seems very happy with it so far. <333

that’s about all i have to say. to be honest, writing these asks like little letters have been the highlight of my day recently. i hope today treated you well, callie. :]

- <3

hi amor 💕 sorry for taking almost a day to answer :((

omg that’s like me with imagine dragons! i’ve been listening to them for maybe eight years now?? all of their songs are fantastic and i would definitely recommend them to everyone. ugh i love that band sooo much but i haven’t seen them live yet which is so weird of me not to. idek why i haven’t gone to a concert literally nothings stopping me LOL

arghdjdj y’all got me super convinced to watch this franchise huh 😭 i literally have to plan this all out bc there are a lot of other oscar movies i wanna see on top of star wars haha! hopefully i’ll be able to watch two films a week or something. but be prepared for the non-stop gushing that will follow on this blog :))

awwwe amor, i’m so happy that you’re writing a moon knight fic 🥺💗 it really made me smile learning about this! i hope that i come across your fic once it’s out, but i’m pretty sure it’s going to be amazing! best of luck sweetie and if you need any help, i’m always here!

and yes!! honestly the reason why i take a while to answer my emoji anons is because i’m usually at work and when i reply to you darlings, i want to take my time to type out a thoughtful response (even if it usually turns out being a rambling mess at the end lmaoao). but every day i look forward to sitting down at home and reading all about how you guys are all doing :)

hope the week has been treating you kindly, amor! stay hydrated and lovely as always 💖

PENGU I FOUND A SONG THAT FITS PERFECTLY WITH XIAO AND I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT

Its called Hope by Nathan Wagner and I swear it's so emotional I almost cried ;-;

So many of the lyrics fit with him and his past, and you could totally make it a ship song too with the traveller, Venti or whoever (I personally picture the traveller)

Just...I PROMISE you won't be disappointed I'm just...obsessed

Vsimp anon (hehe yup it's me 👉😎👉)

OHOHO?? IS IT TIME FOR SUFFERING?? ITS BARELY NOON AND I’M READY TO DRINK THE PAIN AWAY. Link to the song: Hope

I’ve never heard of that song before but I’m listening to it now and I completely agree with you. YO THAT ENDING HALF THO??? I think the only other song I can think off the top of my head that gives me deep emotional vibes is “It’s time” by Imagine Dragons. Except that one is happy and this one is suffering. 

I know when I first started writing, I definitely listened to songs to get in the mood. Potsu - Just friends was a big one for me but it’s mainly the mv someone made. I’m going off on a tangent here but monogatari has really good edited mv. Another favourite is “Kiss me baby”  with “Malibu” by Lucys

But getting back on track, yesyesyes. The lyrics absolutely fit Xiao and the ship dynamic between him and the traveler?? I am constantly crippled by ship dynamics of “Person A has deep emotional vulnerability and Person B is a fucking ray of sunshine that does their best to help Person A love themselves”. I’ve been rewatching old korean shows and ahem, highschool rapper season 2 is a big one for me. 

maagdalen has been sharing her playlists with me and I have another friend that’s slowly feeding me kpop (honestly, never really got into kpop but IU is one of the few artists that I really like). If you ever find any more song recommendations I am open ears.

Bookoween day 11: Quoth the Raven

Hehe, today is definitely Blue's day. (He's a bit self-conscious in front of all those beautiful cover birds, but I think he's perfect just as he is)

I'm in a very October mood today! Somehow, with few out-of-home things going on, I find myself enjoying the seasons more this year. Will attempt a pumpkin pie and watch The Adams Family later this evening. Might even go as far as rewatching some old Sabrina, who knows...

[starstagram]

When you receive this, reply with 5 things that make you happy, then said this to the last 10 people in your notifications. Have a lovely weekend!! 💕

thanks for sending this, anon! 💕 ok so here we gooo

veg manchurian (an instant mood booster hehe)

school babysitters (i cannot emphasize on how happy this anime made me when i was watching it, will definitely rewatch it some time)

watching a movie with friends (ok i don't watch stuff together with my friends a lot but when i do, i get so happy 🥺🥺)

when i'm listening to music while doing my chores (the only reason i even do my chores is bc i get to listen to music when i'm doing them)

hope you have a lovely weekend as well 💞

Comfort Films Challenge

Thank you to the wonderful @omnishambolichologram for tagging me as always in these fun activites :3 ^^ Also - sorry it’s taken me weeks to FINALLY post this!

Film are definitely my number one enjoyment in life along with watching television series (aside from the obvious of spending time with family and friends) and there are quite a few comfort films for me, so it’s going to be difficult to narrow down to only seven! I might have to be cheeky and add in a couple of special mentions hehe

And FYI some of these films might not be necessarily comforting, but they are in that they’re easy to watch so many times because I love them that much. This list probably won’t have all of my absolute favourites, but we shall see what my brain comes up with this time because it sometimes changes.

(I won’t be able to rate one more than the other as they’ll all be different kinds of films so I wouldn’t be able to necessarily say one is better than the other)

I’ve chosen these films based on not only how rewatchable they are, but also on their sheer brilliance as a whole in terms of cinematography, dialogue, cleverness and the acting... (and probably on how long I’ve known them and grown to love them everytime I watch them)

Note: I don’t own some of the gifs included in this post. Credit would go to them if I knew who they were but I’m making sure that I don’t take credit for the ones which aren’t mine.

Good Will Hunting (1997)

This film is quirky, intelligent, funny and teaches you a lot about the choices you make in life. I think what I love about this film is how simple the ending is. “I gotta see about a girl...” - sums up how love can end up being the most important thing to grab hold of when you realise you have it and never had it before. I personally believe that this is probably Matt Damon’s best performance out of all his acting roles even to this day. Ben Affleck and Robin Williams were pretty damn great in it too.

Midnight Run (1988)

(This gif is mine).

This film has it all. A damn well cleverly written script with uncanny and hilarious dialogue, brilliant dynamic between the two main characters, fabulous music score, wonderful sets of shots (the cinematography of the beginning scene is great) and basically a simple story that is not only entertaining and easy to follow, but is acted out fabulously by everyone. The whole wild goose chase for these two men played by Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin across the country is just ridiculous, but ridiculously funny. I have to say that it’s definitely one of my top favourites of all time. If you want a laugh, I would recommend this one!

Special mention (another Martin Brest film): Beverly Hills Cop is on point also.

The Breakfast Club (1985)

It was tough for me to just decide on one John Hughes film as he’s one of my favourite directors of all time, but I chose Breakfast Club because it’s the ultimate classic coming-of-age story, and it’s all set in just one location. It’s clever in that there doesn’t have to be lots of action to make it good, all it does is introduce a bunch of teenage stereotypes and take away the shields that they have put on and learn to no longer be prejudice of one another. Eighties is also my favourite era of films and this is just a perfect mixture of comedy and drama. The acting is great and I give applause to especially Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael-Hall for their delivery and their facial expressions.

Special mentions of other John Hughes films he has written/directed that I ADORE: Pretty in Pink (Andrew McCarthy and James Spader yum), Sixteen Candles (hilarious), Uncle Buck (the best family film ever), Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Some Kind of Wonderful <3

Heathers (1988)

Christian Slater and Winona Ryder are the best duo in this film and it is another eighties classic. I related to both these characters and I can never get enough of this film. I have probably seen it twenty times or more and still not fed up with watching it. The dark comedy and the gritty and foul dialogue are iconic in this flick, and I take my hat off to the brilliant Heathers (Kim Walker - may she RIP, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk) for playing such clever and awful characters. I was obsessed at one point with Slater because of his role as J.D and honestly his death at the end of the film is a powerful as fuck ending. The cinematography of the ending makes the film for sure, the angle, the chosen shots I just Ugh. Fabulous.

The Help (2011)

This film. I don’t know it’s just brilliantly done and the acting is perfection. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain and Dallas Bryce-Howard are fantastic in their roles and this film explores such a crucial time period that I think is illustrated well. These women while fictional, feel so real and the struggle of black maids (black people in general really but this is specific to the women) is real. I cannot help but cry everytime at the ending, and the way that Aibilene stands up for herself, I never get tired of. It is easy to watch as it’s not painful like 12 Years A Slave, but it still epitomises the segregation that was so prominent in the sixties in southern US very well. I find comfort in how delightful the characters are and still manages to be funny despite the story being focused on such a sensitive subject.

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Shawshank, well we all know this film. It has been parodied and quoted so many bloody times, but yet I am cliche in love with it and I cannot fault a single thing about it. Tim Robbins is an underrated as fuck actor and he should be appreciated so much more for his stellar performance as Andy Dufrense. He is the epitome of the straight and narrow man who, really, is not a bad guy at all. In fact, he’s always tried to be the opposite. You symphathise with him throughout and you really feel his struggle, but also his perfect ability to be so human. He makes Red realise he is not as bad as he made himself believe and of course we know how good Morgan Freeman is. Again, this film like Heathers I could watch a million times and never get bored with it. Whether it’s on TV or I find it available online, I always will make time to watch it.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

I have only recently come across this film about 8 months ago and it’s the kind of film which I can’t help but wonder where it’s been my whole life. I have already watched it probably like 10 times since I found it and I am so happy I did. However, it has led me to form an unhealthy obsession with Timothee Chalamet where he has come up in conversation in real life and I figured the only things I was still an avid fan of was of Supernatural and Red Dwarf, but no this film is just pure delightful dynamite. The cinematography is so elegant and perfect (especially during the dream like sequence when Elio is alone or in the gif above when Elio is watching Oliver). The screenplay brilliantly illustrates how wonderfully amazing but also torturous love can be, and well it is set in the eighties. What more can you love? Timmy and Armie have such good chemistry it’s unreal, and they make their characters so believable. Another film I cannot fault and could watch anytime, even though the ending is heartbreaking af.

Bonus: Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001)

Notting Hill (1999)

About TIme (2013)

There are plenty of other comfort films I adore but it probably depends on my mood. I’m definitely a sucker for romantic comedies and these three are on here as bonuses because they’ve also been very comforting to me over the years. What can I say? Richard Curtis writes some brilliant screenplays and directs some of them too.
