Pls this is such a fun idea ugh. Kinda suggestive at the end, but mostly just raindrop being raindrop. :))))

"Whaddaya think makes 'em Swedish?"

Rain looks up from where he's hunched over his phone, finds Dew sitting on the counter with a baggie of Swedish Fish. He swings his feet and holds a gummy fish between two fingers, making it swim through the air. Rain can see how red his eyes are from here, and even though the air hangs heavy with with the scent of popcorn he can still smell the remnants of weed wafting from him.

"Dunno," Rain shrugs. He supposes he could look it up, but that would interrupt his valuable mindless scrolling time. There's only so much time between screenings in their dinky little theater, he has to take what he can get. "You should ask someone Swedish."

Dew hops off the counter, stretching both arms over his head. His uniform polo slides up, reveals a pale strip of skin above low-slung jeans, and Rain snaps a quick picture for future reference.

(He has a Thing for Dew's bony hips, so sue him.)

"You're no fun," Dew pouts, slouching over to Rain's side of the concession stand. He drapes himself over Rain's back, sighing heavily. The little baby hairs thay have escaped his bun tickle Rain's cheek, make his nose scrunch up.

"I'm tons of fun," he deadpans, holding up his phone and displaying an article about the mating habits of Atlantic salmon as though that proves something. Dew doesn't even glance at it, too busy snaking his arms around Rain's shoulders and nosing at his hair.

"You smell like coconuts," he giggles, woefully stoned. He sniffs at those dark curls until Rain starts to squirm, reaching back to poke him in the ribs.

"How high are you?" Rain chuckles, still tipping his head when Dew starts drifting towards his neck.

"This's what happens when you don't share with me," the blonde mumbles, chapped lips grazing Rain's throat. "I roll for two and have no self control."

Well, he's not wrong about that last part. Rain thinks back last week, when Dew had spent the night at his place. A quiet evening spent smoking and playing video games, until they were both too stoned to do anything but snuggle and watch TV. Rain had ordered them a pizza, grabbed it from the driver in a haze of smoke and set it on the couch with a quick announcement about needing to piss. He'd been gone for maybe ten minutes - most of which had been spent forgetting where he was while he washed his hands - and by the time he'd gotten back Dew had managed to scarf down six massive slices covered in pepperoni and pineapple all on his own.

"Don't I know it," Rain grumbles, reaching up to give the little guy an affectionate noogie. Dew nips at his jaw in retaliation, slinking around to Rain's front. Dew weasels his way into his lap, slinging his arms around Rain's neck with a smile. He leans in to lick at the spot he bit, and the way the ball of his tongue piercing glides over his skin makes Rain's eyelids flutter. He tosses his phone onto the counter in favor of holding the bony hips he loves so much.

"Y'know," Dew lilts, swaying in his lap, "we got some time before the next show." He scoots impossibly closer, until their chests meet and Dew can rub their noses together. Rain can feel his piercings through his shirt, and a little tingle runs through him. He slips one hand from Dew's hip to give his barely-there ass a quick squeeze, long fingers sneaking up the back of his shirt.

"We do," Rain nods, fingertips grazing the ultra soft peach fuzz at the base of Dew's spine. His eyes drift to Dew's mouth, wide and pink and curled at the corners in a mischievous little grin. "Wonder what we could do until then..."

Dew's smile gains a sensual edge, his eyelids drooping and the tip of his tongue poking out between crowded teeth. He slips his fingers into Rain's curls, blunt nails scratching at his scalp, and Rain shivers when Dew leans in close. He waits for a kiss that will undoubtedly taste of weed and raspberry flavoured candy.

Instead, Dew kisses his cheek and moves to whisper in his ear. His breath ghosts over Rain's skin, warm but shiver-inducing, and he makes his request.

Rain snorts.

"I am not fucking you with the popcorn butter, Dewdrop."

BIG BOY spoilers for season 5 but I really wanna talk about how brilliant episode 1 is (I just woke up and I'm not in the fuzzy headspace I was yesterday)

Off the bat also I do wanna mention the art style is changing again a little! It's a bit different from season four so far. I really like the way it's looking though. Seven looks fucking GOOD in so many of these scenes

Anyways it took me an EMBARASSING four fucking minutes to realize that 1) this was not really happening irl and 2) that the dome was supposed to represent Seven's headspace

anyways The place they're standing in at the start is really interesting to me. They're on Chicken Island obviously but it's Chicken Island in Seven's head. And the way it is in his head is it's foggy, cloudy, and absolutely deserted. I mean there's already not many people on Chicken Island, but it's like dead empty. Much like this scene from the s3 outro:

(didn't know this ED had twenty fucking variations of this scene now jesus christ)

It also feels like it's littered with a lot of references from past episodes. The ducky floatie feels like a reference to the episode where we met DaChun in season 1, the coconut Hua's messing with feels like a reference to that as well, this all feels very reminiscent of invading Captain Jack's ship, the episode even starts with the "First mission" title card, which the show doesn't really use anymore. There's a lot of like, old references in here that all seem kind of tainted and dulled by this grayed out, melancholic perception of Chicken Island.

The second I saw this I instantly thought of the scene from season 3:

I just I dunno I really really like this. I like how they chose to represent his mindscape and the references to the past experiences he can remember.

And I also really like how the different levels represented the different poisons in his body. The first being a puzzle about Manjusaka, the second about the Dark Frost blade

(which also: there are random figures hidden in the ice in this scene that made me tweak out.

is that fucking blackbird? who the fuck are you)

I love how the wolf is drawn and reflects the exact effects of the blade. The animalistic, heightened senses, the fact it's not inherently an evil entity, it's capable of being nice, it's just got heightened aggression it can barely control. Anyway and then the fucking final layer.

Literally the exact spot he once stood in.

And the fucking. The thing that fights him. That tries so hard to stop him from opening the door. It's not just himself, it's a fucking amalgamation of every reason why he shouldn't, why he originally did this to himself: the Shadow killers, faces we don't even recognize, the girl in white, faces we'll probably never see again but that will haunt some deep corner of him, and it's himself. and it's not the thousand demon daggers that kills it, it's just the girl in white's blade. Her dinky little run of the mill sword.

I think it's really, really important that the "past him" asks: If you could've done this too, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you have run away? You would've wanted a new life too. Don't do this again. Don't do this to me.

I started this season worried we were gonna hard pivot at "oh, Seven and the past Seven are two different people" but they're not and this, to me, clearly illustrates that they're not. He wanted this. He wanted this life to end. He wanted to run away, he didn't want this life, exactly like I've been saying since fucking season 3. He wasn't a ruthless, cold hearted killer, at his core he was a child who did what he needed to. He only fought on missions, he was told directly to kill Stanians on sight, but he wanted to be empathetic, he wanted to care so badly, and he wanted to protect somebody. The FIRST fucking time he EVER gets to directly, blatantly, and loudly protect somebody he even MILDLY cares about, it's enough to convince him to never want to do this again. And now with the added context that the Thousand Demon Daggers was slowly killing him - he didn't just fight some demon and won but he signed his fucking life over and was bound to this sword that was ripping him apart, he wanted to leave so badly, and the only way he did was in a way that almost killed him anyways. Episode 2 made me afraid too, because of the way the flashback controlled him, but ultimately, he's already had these flashbacks THE ENTIRE SHOW. These have happened to him before, but now they're so much louder, they're overwhelming and powerful, he's conscious but he's not, he doesn't know how to stop, sometimes he doesn't even actually know where he is. He's not being 'possessed' by somebody else or something, he is somebody riddled with PTSD taken over by those memories.

I also really wanna know what it is 'Seven' is saying here. His mouth is obviously moving like he's speaking but there's no audio or captions to it, (Netflix if you love me you'll give me something good god,) but it looks like Seven doesn't know what he's saying here either. and I just really really really wanna know. This is going to become my new "what was in the letter."

Anyways feel free to pile on more thoughts cus thats all I have right now. I ran into this season (foolishly) (once again) praying I'd get end game Seven x Thirteen but it seems I will spend the duration of season 5 in the trenches, fighting for my life, kicking and screaming, shitting my pants and sniffling, begging, "NOOOOO HE'S THE SAME PERSON HE WAS BEFORE!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! THEY'RE NOT TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thirteen save me, save me Thirteen, Thirteen, Thirteen save me.

"W-WHA??"

He had underestimated this baboon, a mistake which would cost him dearly. A quick flick of a switch changes his gun from blow to suck. Knees curled inward, fangs barred tight, he prays his machine is enough. KABOOM!!! The kremling vanishes in a fiery cloud! Palm trees and coconuts are set ablaze from the crash site outward. The blunderbuss crashes at Funky's feet, severed into two pieces. The credits roll... Until a spec of gold flies outward from the destruction with the velocity of a bullet! K. Rool's crown has come off. Its owner emerges second: devolved, rampant, bruised, with flames clinging to the edge of his cape. He galloped on all fours like a wild crocodile! His eyes bulge reddened and unfocused. Like a hungry beast launching at prey, he jumped towards Funky, claws and teeth out! The ape had shot the King out of K. Rool. In its place is a rapid, angry, crazy gator biting for the jugular!

He wouldn't recommend anyone punch a canon ball, but the little love from the Kong copter does exactly what's needed and shoots the projectile back at the Kremling. While the other tends to his exploding weapon, Funky settles into a new spot after having slid a little ways back from the impact and gives his fist a once over. Definitely bruised knuckles would follow the action seeing as just unfurling them slightly sent an uneasy jolt up his arm.

Flicking his gaze back up to observe the fireball ahead, he tips his head curiously, wondering if that kroc dude had just barbecued himself...when something shiny and fast exited the plume and zipped towards him. Not expecting the kroc's dinky head piece - nor its speed of departure, Funky shifts a little late to the side, earning a cut across his cheek from the sharper end of the crown.

His usual grin slipped into a half grimace as blood welled up like tears in ducts, though he had a bigger problem than just a scratch at hand...namely a rampaging crocodile racing towards him.

"Tch...I've seen stronger guppies." Sliding a foot back, he braces his weight against a knee and waits for the distance between them to close enough for him to slam his good hand onto the ground and lift...much like his usual hang five on his board, he pushes himself into a one handed hand stand and, using his feet as momentum to swing up, he launches up into the air and swings overhead in an almost perfect board somersault...minus the board. That comes in the form of the kroc's back when he lands and digs his feet in to scales to hold on while his arms balance out by his sides, swinging wildly at times while the Kremling raged underneath.

New board. Tough wave!

[ollieinoue]

He nodded his head. "Yeah, exactly," Ollie said. "This is really the farthest I've ever been outside of NYC. Maybe I'll be in the middle of some forest some day and suddenly be like 'this is where I'm meant to be', or mountains, or some small dinky town will just feel like it's home for some reason." Maybe when and if he ever managed to leave the country he'd really vibe somewhere else. Maybe he would really fit into Tokyo culture, or maybe he'd go to some tropical island and realize he was meant to be living on a beach with some coconut drink permanently in his hand or something. "Luckily I plan on working for myself in the future, and all remotely, so at least I can pretty much live anywhere I want to. I guess it's good to keep your options open. There is still so much more to do before either of us think of settling down somewhere. Gotta expand your horizons as much as you can."

eloise couldn't recall ever going to the hampton's. she planned to view it as a new adventure. plus, she got along with eddie just fine. cara, on the other hand, was a bit more skeptical to her. she was hoping she would get some kind of foundation with her. she nodded along to ollie's words, making a mental note to capture photos of the fancy houses - it would be at the top of her list. she'd feel like she was a tourist in a new country, taking photos of anything she found interesting. "no, that definitely makes sense. it's like..." her voice trailed on as she thought about how to word her next statement. "you're not entirely sure what's out there until you live it. you might think you're a city person, but one night in the country could change your whole perspective because you haven't experienced it before."

Thoughts that popped up since I realized W.I.T.C.H. is getting a reboot.

I was in elementary into middle school during the W.I.T.C.H. vs Winx years. My memory of those particular years are pretty vague, but I do remember reading the W.I.T.C.H. novels with the few pages of the graphic novel in the back and watching Winx when I could.

I did enjoy them both, but was 100% on W.I.T.C.H.'s side of the debate. Idk I think that as fun as Winx was, W.I.T.C.H. spoke to me and the other kids my age in a way Winx didn't. Take divorced parents and blended families for example: Will and Stella both have divorced parents, but I really feel like this was portrayed better with Will? The emotions were there and raw. The conflicts through that were up and down, like in real life, instead of just being there for selected episodes?

I'd also like to talk about how the girls are drawn and dressed. I don't actually hold the high-fashion model style of Winx against it, as it was a huge influence on it's creation. Naturally that does have some problematic elements to it, but so does most of media depicting teens looking like young 20s? Symptom, not cause. W.I.T.C.H. also portrays the girls like this. BUT it's done as a transformation-specific thing. Again, not really my favorite thing, but as a pre-pubecent kid / just starting puberty kid, reading how some of the girls would think about how their crushes would like their guardian / adult / "prettier" forms was really relatable? When the girls were not in guardian form, they looked like kids. They dressed like kids. It was nice! Again, I understand that the Winx girls dressed the way they did due to the fashion influence, which I do like as well. It just didn't hit they way W.I.T.C.H. did to kid me.

With what I've seen with the W.I.T.C.H. reboot, being little (but I think is all there is atm?). I don't dislike it. Not in love either. The style is pretty, but feels more generic? The original graphics are so iconic that this doesn't feel like official W.I.T.C.H. to me. I can only hope that the girls are canonically in high school rather than the original 13ish years, considering what they look like. Especially Elyon. She has been yassified a bit. I don't hate it, but I'd hope they don't expect me to think that she's 13. I think that Will, Irma, and Hay Lin could pass as 13, but the others look older. They also did fully "recast" Will's mom, which feels not great? Especially since everyone's colors got lighter? I understand that the colors are just more pastel, but it does feel more like an excuse than and explanation as to why that is...

I don't hate the new guardian look, but the OG is SO ICONIC that this just feels like nothing to me? I do like the bare foot look and incorporation of the elemental icon quite a bit! The new wings... naw. They are pretty and delicate, but the OG.....SO ICONIC! Idk if these wings will also be just for show like in the comics since they seem large enough to work? If I remember correctly, in the comics, the girls can't fly, minus Hay Lin, being the air guardian, until New Power, when their wings are much larger. I like that touch as a physical element showing that the girls still have room to grow.

In any case, I still like both W.I.T.C.H. and Winx, I currently like the OG style over the reboot, water is wet and the sky is blue.
