KEEP A PINK STUN GUN JUST IN CASE I'M IN TROUBLE

[moeblob]

Because his inner monologues really are just. So long. And I think it's important to show how much this guy thinks in order to say "not quite".

Forgotten Promises

Requested by @lynni3x : have a request, my birthday is coming up in may(3rd), and i was wondering if you could do an angst where skz forget 9th readers birthday, and she doesnt celebrate it that much. Maybe they have a concert and stays decided to surprise reader with fan signs that say happy birthday, and stray kids feel guilty for forgetting since shes been giving them the silent treatment and she cries on stage(maybe her first time ceying on stage), but staff remembered so they bought her cake up on stage to celebrate:3

You wander downstairs, yawning. You rub at your eyes tiredly, settling on the couch. Chan reaches out to pat your shoulder, grinning widely.

You feel a flutter of excitement in your stomach. He’s about to wish you happy birthday.

After last year, when they realized that you had never really celebrated your birthday, Stray Kids had declared that they would give you the biggest party ever. You had grown very excited for whatever it was they had planned.

But he walks away to the kitchen, making himself breakfast.

You watch him go, slightly confused. Then you realize that he’s probably waiting for the rest of the group to wake up.

Yes, that’s what this is.

So you turn on the television and watch a show you had been binging, quickly losing your train of thoughts. Your birthday is forgotten as you become focused on the screen.

Minho taps your arm, drawing your attention away. You look up at him expectantly, feeling a thrill at the prospect of getting wished a happy birthday.

“Do you know where my water bottle is?” he asks, making you falter.

You blink in surprise. “Uh, have you checked the fridge yet?”

Minho walks over to the fridge, murmuring a good morning to Chan. He opens the fridge and holds up his bottle, glancing over his shoulder at you. “Thanks.”

You nod and unpause your show. They’re just waiting for the rest of the group to get up, so you shouldn’t get disappointed.

But then when the whole group is awake and bustling around the living space, you’re just staring at them all. They’re going to whip around at any moment to scream ‘Happy Birthday’ and you’re going to cry from joy.

Right now, however, you feel like you’re going to cry from hurt. 

You load into the van, everyone packed for the day. There’s a concert you’ll be giving tonight, which means you have to get to the location and prepare. 

You spend the car ride on your phone. You don’t have any messages from anyone, because your family doesn’t celebrate birthdays that much. So you pop your earbuds in and listen to music, drowning out the bustling group.

Jeongin pokes you. “Hi.”

You lower the volume of your music so you can hear him. “What’s up?”

“Is that your good shirt?” Jeongin looks down at it, rubbing the material between two fingers.

“Yeah, it is,” you respond, your voice cracking at the end. He remembered your favourite shirt, but not your birthday?

But again, it’s not like it’s important to anyone but you. Even though they promised to make this birthday special.

“Why are you wearing it?” Jeongin frowns at you. “You know they’ll change you into your concert clothes anyways.”

You fidget with your sleeve. “I dunno. Just… felt like it.”

Changbin clears his throat. “The staff mentioned something about the mid-concert event. Does anyone remember what that was supposed to be?”

“The skits, remember?” Jisung stretches out, accidentally elbowing Seungmin.

“Watch it!” Seungmin snaps, shoving Jisung. Jisung sticks his tongue out in retaliation.

The van arrives at the venue and everyone piles out, going out to see how big the stage is. You go a separate direction than the others, not wanting to be near them at the moment. You feel like it’s pathetic to be sad about this, but still…

They promised.

Felix jogs over, beaming in joy. “I saw your stage outfit! It looks really cool!”

You force a weak smile. “Really?”

“Yeah.” Felix nods enthusiastically, bouncing. It looks like he’s hyper today. “Even more than usual! I think the stylists were in a good mood.”

When you dress in the outfit, you can’t help but feel pretty. The dress is modest enough that you feel comfortable in it, but it flows and is glittery. It feels ridiculous to be excited about; but then the stylists attach fake gems to your hair.

“It’s a shame you have to work today,” one of the makeup artists remarks to you. They dust a trail of glitter over your cheekbones. “But we’ll make it up to you.”

“Wow,” Hyunjin says as he walks past you. “They really put a lot of effort in today. You look good.”

You duck your head shyly. “Ah, thanks.”

Jeongin dashes over, grinning widely. “Look! Look!” He motions to the way his hair has been styled. “Isn’t it cool?”

Hyunjin makes a sound of amazement, studying it carefully. “Wow, that’s impressive. I like the angle the part is at.”

“Doesn’t she look great today?” The makeup artist sticks their head in, smiling at you. “It’s unfortunate you have the concert today.”

“What?” Hyunjin asks as they leave. “Why today?”

“I think it’s because the weather is so good,” Jeongin remarks. “Who wants to work when it’s this warm?”

You slink off to the stage again, sitting with your legs hanging off the stage. The crowd is beginning to fill and you can hear cheers and shouts already.

“Over here!” Chan yells, waving his arms. You perk up and hurry over to him, following him backstage again.

“What is it?” you wonder, resisting the urge to spin and see how your skirts form a circle. You really like this dress.

“Just wanted to check on you before the performance.” Chan smiles, dimples forming. “You’ve seemed off today. Is everything okay?”

Well if he hasn’t figured it out by now, you aren’t about to tell him.

You could go another year without a birthday. Even if you want to cry.

When the concert actually starts, and the group makes their entrance, the audience roars. Especially when you step out, for some reason. There are signs waving and shaking, and you can see light sticks shining brightly.

Jisung lifts the microphone up to his lips to read a sign aloud. “Happy birthday… Ah, Stay, you’re so funny! It’s no one’s birthday!”

And it feels like a punch to the gut. They really did forget. 

“There’s another one here!” Minho says, pointing to another sign. Then another. And another.

It’s as if the crowd is holding its breath. Waiting for the realization. A lot of the signs have your name sprawled across them, and Seungmin’s eyes land on one of them.

“And…” His voice trails off and he winces. “Oh.”

Chan looks over to you in horror, eyes wide. He seems alarmed. “It’s…”

A cake rises up from a platform, coming from inside the stage somewhere. You watch it, tears brimming at your eyes. Your name is written on it, big and bold.

Felix covers his mouth, watching on in a mix of dismay and sadness. You see him say something, but it’s too loud to actually hear him. 

“Thank you,” you say with a shaking voice, speaking into the microphone. “Thank you, Stay, for coming here for my birthday, and thank you, staff, for the cake.”

“It’s your birthday,” Changbin says in a daze. “And we- We didn’t.”

You smile, looking to the crowd. “Thank you. It- It means a lot.”

Minho wipes one of your tears away, flicking it away. He doesn’t say anything, merely standing off to the side.

There’s no time for apologies or insults. The music begins for the first song, and everyone throws themselves into it. You feel a bit lighter now, because at least someone remembered.

But why wasn’t it your group? They had promised, after all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“We’re sorry,” Chan exclaims as he trails after you. “We didn’t mean to forget, but-“

“But you did!” you sharply say. You wipe some more tears away, taking a deep breath. “You forgot. You all forgot, even though you promised to celebrate my birthday with me!”

Hyunjin hangs his head. “We did promise, but…”

“There’s no excuse,” Minho sharply cuts in. “We forgot. We’re terrible people.”

“Don’t say that,” you weakly respond, shaking your head. “I- I’m just mad. I don’t wish you dead or anything.”

“Give us two hours,” Jeongin randomly says. His expression is firm, as if he’s truly dedicated to a cause now. “In two hours, we’ll give you the celebration you deserve.”

“You- You guys don’t have to,” you whisper, because there’s no way they can get anything done in two hours. It would just disappoint you again, and you’ve had enough heartbreak for one day.

“No, we’ve got this,” Seungmin confidently declares. “Just watch us.”

“You’re already dressed for it.” Changbin waves a hand at your concert clothes. “We’ll dress fancy and everything. Just let us make this up to you, okay?”

“Please?” Felix adds. “We’ll make it unforgettable!”

“Fine,” you relent. You sigh heavily and adjust the hem of your dress. “You have two hours.”

“Wait in your room until we’re done!” Jisung shouts before sprinting away. 

So you relax in your room, excited for whatever it is they have planned now. You were planning to stay mad at them, but that quickly went out the window.

Jeongin knocks on your door before you know it, a tie knotted at his neck. “We’re ready! Come on!”

You step down the stairs carefully, aware of your high heels. It would be an even worse birthday if you fell and broke all your bones.

They’re all (Except Hyunjin) standing at the base of stairs with party hats at lopsided angles. Felix tosses confetti in the air, and a piece immediately lands in Seungmin’s eye.

“Happy birthday!” they all scream in unison. Even Seungmin, who is still fighting to remove the foreign object from his eyeball.

You bounce in joy, clapping your hands together. “This is great!”

Minho narrows his eyes at you. “We haven’t even gotten to the good stuff yet.”

You still. “Oh. Well get to it!”

Changbin places a massive gift in front of you. The wrapped package reaches your head, and you can’t wait to open it.

“It’s for me?” you ask, double checking for some reason.

Chan ruffles your hair affectionately. “All for you. Go ahead.”

You rip into it, throwing the pieces behind you somewhere. Felix rushes around cleaning them up, putting them into a bag that Jeongin is carrying.

There’s a massive cake inside, covered in bright frosting with your name sprawled across the top. You gape at it before whipping around to the group. “How did you get this in two hours?”

Jisung presses something on his phone, and music starts playing. But it’s not the happy birthday song.

It’s… rave music?

“What?” You frown in confusion before the top of the cake fucking comes off.

Hyunjin’s head pops out, quickly followed by his torso as he stands to his full height. “Surprise!”

Then he dabs.

“First of all, wow,” you say in amazement. “Second of all, ew. Why did you dab?”

Hyunjin shrugs. “I just did. Now eat the cake so I can get out.”

It takes quite a long time to free him from his dessert prison, but you eventually complete your delicious task.

— kanato headcanon's

hii, omg i laugh a little while reading this, bc its so true! kanato can be put in a stereotype and cant get him out if that but ill do my best so i hope i dont desappoint!! and ty so much for enjoying my blog, it means a lot to me that you guys like what i write and specially my art!

so here i bring kanato, and with a little warning as well as i did with laito, kanato is also a very complex and deep character, he isnt childish all the time and definetly not a kid, he is a hole ass man with the usual mommy and daddy issues (cortesy of diabolik lovers to every character)

tw: this post has nsfw content (+18) , so if you dont like it dont read it!!

kanato was so friking difficult to draw, i dont love it but in another moment ill draw him again until i like the result.

his looks and selfcare

so, kanato, i have some thoughts, to begin with lets talk about his appearence, i like to think that kanato has the kind of ethereal beauty, maybe bc he is the one who looks the most like his mother, so the beauty is serving. kanato has round eyes and long lashes, and his dark circles juts makes his gaze pop out.

oh, and kanato gaze? i think he may be the most scary one, ofc not all the time, kanato round eyes makes him have a cute and friendly gaze and as well one that sink into you the moment he see's you with dark eyes and a terrifiying aura.

i like to think that kanato has the most pretty eyes of the sakamaki brothers, and even if his brothers may say he is kind of femenine, kanato doesnt care, he may be more of a femenine beauty but still is so godamn handsome.

i like to think that kanato does not really take care of his skin. its like shu, he has a pretty and soft skin just by washing his face with water, dont have acne even he always eat sweets, but he do use a good soap like laito, a bar soap and only for his face, and really hates when his brothers use it for their hands, kanato throws it away if that happen's.

i think kanato has a sensitive skin so he has to be carefull with what he cleans himself, one time in his teen years, kanato used ayato soap by mistake and he got urticaria, but the soap was'nt used before so kanato knew it was'nt for the dirty soap, it was just a cheap soap. since then kanato only use natural soaps, he likes lavanda ones, vanilla or coconut, he likes sweets escents. also uses natural shampoo.

kanato prefers long baths bc he enjoys the hot water, and really really hates cold showers.

kanato likes to style his hair, he doesnt have fluffly hair, so he has to style it to have more volume.

i think kanato do not use sunscreen, he thinks its dumb since he is a vampire and tecnically dont age like a human so he isnt worried for that.

and since kanato has sensitive skin, i belive he also has some sensorial issues, like he can't stand someting itchy or to rough to the touch. kanato will literally burn it, he has to feel soft clothes, like cotton or silk, and yes, he loves silk, actually, kanato has slik sheets and pillows.

i think kanato has a normal sense of fashion, like i dont get why people sometimes put kanato in lolita or cute core or whatever, kanato really loves comfy clothes and more like "grandpa" clothes, like chunky sweaters, he likes to use belts and classic shoes, dont like sneakers.

and for his body, i think he does have wide shoulders, but he is skinny bc he dont excersize, it happens the same with the sunscreen, kanato think is dumb to excersize bc he has super strenght so he does'nt really need muscles to prove how powerful he is. kanato has big and slim hands, good cared nails. i also think kanato dont have a small waist, he has a more thick waist and prominent v line, but not so much like his brothers. i like to think that kanato has a mole on his side stomach.

and he also can grow a beard but dont like it, he think he looks terrible and freak out a little every time he sees a little hair on his chin.

random stuff

so, i have a lot of thoughts in kanato.

to begin with, i think kanato has a lot of sensorial issues, like he cant stand being with a big group of people for too long, the noise of people talking or just hearing them breath it makes kanato stress out a lot. this also happens with food, if the food has a weird texture he has the instict of throw up. and lastly i think this also happens with the touch, like if he touch sticky things, clumpy or bumpy, something of a strange consistency, kanato will go crazy.

and i also think (maybe canon?? im not sure) kanato is not a cry baby, its just his way of manipulate things at his favor when he needs it. i think he only has really cried for anger in his life, not really bc he is sad.

i think kanato likes to collect figures, not teddy bears of plushies, he likes specially horror figures, like lucky boxes or just iconic horror figures. and speaking of horror, kanato is a big fan! he has maga, movies and books of horror stories, he thinks humans maybe do has good ideas but sometimes he thinks its too absurd, like zombies? where did that come from?

i think kanato likes to walk, just, go around and take long walks, it help him clear his mind and dont think too much of his mother. and its no secret kanato has a hard time in rainy day so i think he listen to music with earphones bc he feels down if he hears the rain.

i also think kanato has a special way of expressiong himself with other people, like, he takes everything literal so he says things very literal, and has a short temper, cant stand stupid or slow people (me neither kanato, i got you) it gets on his nervers.

i like to think that kanato gets the ick with a lot of things, like if he sees someone drop their food and pick it up again and eat it, kanato cant belive it, or when someone says a joke that its not funny, he gets the ick, also when someone has bad taste in music, kanato cant stand bad music.

and speaking about music, kanato is a big fan of the classics singers, but also some divas, he just likes how their voice can go so high. but he dont really like singning, he despite its but love it at the same time. vampire things.

nsfw

so... kanato is one fo a kind. maybe the most kinky out of his brothers.

so to begin with, kanatos dick, a solid 16 cm, very avegare, mostly for his complexion. is a pretty dick, with a pink tip and not pubic hair, kanato has two veins coming from the croch to his tip. and its slightly pointing up with a little curve.

(and btw, so its not too crazy, the lengts i put are when they are hard, like hard and wild. i belive all the brothers are team blood, except for subaru but thats another story)

i think kanato its a switch, but he prefer to be dominant rathen than being dominated. oh and he has a really high sex drive, but not like, with everyone, when he is into you and really loves spending time with you he get the urge to be under your skin everytime he can, but likes to make you know it too, he wants you to want it.

i think kanato can be very unpredictable, mostly bc his mood swings a lot, but if you are patience and please as he wants you to, he may become interested in you, constantly looking out for you and wanting to spend time with you, thats his love lenguage, quality time!

at first i think kanato will ask you to do things for him, and in some point he will start doing things for you, like if kanato sees you cooking he may join to help, at the begining you are in shock for his actions, so caring and nice all of the sudden, but then you will get use to it, and if you two are close enough. kanato will tease you in a cute way.

"am i suppose to be impressed by your cooking? maybe if you cook topless il be more thrilled hehe"

you see, kanato is not really a dirty talker, he has a more sooting tone and his way of speak when he wants to get you in the mood its more loving and like a smooth seductive. oh and he will call you by nicknames before having sex, but during it kanato loves to say your name or call you a good girl.

i think kanato also loves spending time with you, like a little cute married couple.

and if you two are doing any other activity he suddenly will kiss you, just bc he finds you so cute and precious, he cant get his eyes off your lips, he loves kissing you. kanato is a tender kisser, likes to feel to softness of you lips and how your tongue respond to his, and if you two kiss for a while he can get worked up "you like kisses? i'll kiss every part of you, so be a good girl, okay?" and then will start kissing your neck, likes to kiss right where the big vein in your neck pump, he can feel the blood flows through his lips and that is a turn on for him.

"you like when i kiss you here dont you?... i feel how your body tremble when i do it... you're so cute like this..."

kanato takes his time with you, likes to build up the mood and stuff. when he get enough of you neck, he'll mess with your earlobe and your chest. kanato dont love to be rough in bed so the foreplay is really calm and slow. will put his knee bewteen your legs as he suck on your tits, likes to play with your boobs, suking your nipples makes him so hard while hearing you moan softly while gripping his hair, and he loves when you hold onto his hair.

kanato is'nt a rusher but when you had enough of teasing he will take your clothes, and i mean it, kanato will tear them from your body.

"i don't care about your clothes, i'll buy you nices dresses so i can rip every one off your body"

and maybe unexpected, but kanato do likes 69, likes to eat you out so much, he think that your juices are as good as your blood, and he definetly makes you eat pinapple with him for this moment. he likes to tease your clit and sometimes will stick a finger inside you as he keeps on sucking you. and a little detail i like, i that when you suck him off, kanato doesnt realize his hips moves unvoluntary, so sometimes you may gag, and after you cum or he does, your eyes will be really watery from how many times he thrust into your troat.

oh, and he also likes to play with candles while fucking you, like when he is inside but not moving waiting for you to feel confortable, kanato will take a candle and with his powers he get the fire to melt a little so little but hot drops of candle fall into your stomach and chest.

kanato is a classic, loves missionary, mostly bc he loves to watch your face while fucking you, kanato is a slow and deep kind of guy, like he makes sure you feel him real good so he tends to take it all out to put it back again. and really loves seeing how it goes in, he thinks its very romantic to see how your bodies make one.

"you should see this... you take me so well... so good for me... you're such a good girl for me..."

and when the pace become steady he will be hipnotized by your tits bouncing, he loves your boobs. probably will stick a finger inside your mouth as he keep going.

but i also think kanato can be a player, a really kinky one.

for started, kanato likes the dinamic where he is the one in charge and you are his slave, his pleasure slave, and when he is in that kind of mood, kanato will tie you up, use his powers to make you stay still and play with you, loves to edge you, cut your pleasure gives him pleasure, hearing your cries for not cuming and desperate moans makes him really hard.

like if your are getting fingered he will take his fingers before you cum and if you attempt to touch yourself he will use his powers to make you stay still "oh... dont be a bad girl, you'll come when i say so... either way i am the one controling your body... hehe" and then he will finger you hard to make you cum, kanato loves to hear how wet your pussy get that he will ride you trough you climax by oral.

and he has make you squirt but he doesnt know how, the firts time you squirt was on a busy night, you had come a lot by that point and he just keep going even after you just cum, no breaks, so kanato was amused when he sees how you wet the bed and his legs got, he thought it was so hot that he got mad bc he didnt get to drink it all.

and if kanato feels to horny, probably for the full moon, he will get savage. starting soft and nice but at some point of the night kanato will be basically destroying your pussy, like fucking you so pussy drunk he cant stop even if you had cum before. loves to heard the wet sound every thrust makes.

"fuck... you might eat me tonight... hehe... how can you feel so good huh?... keep cuming... i have more for you" and with his sloppy thrust, cocky grind and needy eyes. dear lord.

when kanato is about to cum he will start to fuck you a little harder, and will bite you at the moment too sometimes. kanato will thrust deep as he feel it coming.

"be a good girl and take it... yes... such a good girl for me.."

the aftercare its two ways, or you and him cuddle for a while and then sleep after cleaning himself and you with wet wipes, or you two go for a snack before goign to sleeep. you know, to keep the sugar high.

and when you two are well rested he may began kissing your neck again while playing with you nipples "you deserve a reward for making me feel so good... i think you are able to take another one... right?"

100k VIEWS!!! WOOO!!

Not my first or second video to reach this number, but definitely the one im most proud of.

Gonna ramble about my thoughts while making this, because I think about it a lot:

- It has been a couple of years since I started it (see desc.), but from what I remember I had this idea because this song popped up on my feed, and I really liked it (had not listened to the eng version before), looped it for a while, and then I was like "...wait this sounds like the warners doesn't it" and it all escalated from there.

- I needed them to kidnap someone, and I think I chose mickey because I had recently made an animaniacs & mickey mouse video and I really liked it, so I just chose to torment him again lmao.

Im actually realizing now that having him be the one kidnapped makes even more sense. In the song, it's halloween gremlins kidnapping santa claus - so the equivalent of WB gremlins kidnapped Mickey Mouse the disney mascot, is pretty perfect. Would like to say this was the plan since the beginning but that would be a lie smdjks.

- I really like the Animaniacs, "Who Killed Roger Rabbit?", and "Looney tunes back in action" takes on a "cartoons living with humans" universe, so in this video it's kinda of a mixture of all three of these - hence toon town (in my head it's mainly disney cartoons that live there, however the really big stars probably got their own houses in human cities I'd imagine). Mickey himself then follows the logic of his personality just being how he was drawn. He's just an average guy. Probably got nicer over the years since bro's personality ended up turning into a slice of bread by Disney, because he had to be the face of the company. My favorite version of Mickey is the one on the Mickey Mouse shorts though, so you can imagine this specific version of him on this video (I know it doesnt look like it in the beginning, I did not know how to draw mickey a couple years ago dnjdjs). In this video Mickey isn't really as evil as the company, he's just the mascot stuck with them. I would say bro is just a doormat. He wouldn't agree with all of their actions, but I dont even think he would acknowledge most of them, make a lot of excuses for them probably. Overrall he's like, fine.

- I needed a CEO to be Oogie Boogie because well.. Who would be better for it?? When I started this 2 years ago, I was deciding between Plotz and Rita (reboot CEO), I was gonna choose her because the Warners were scared of her to some extent, and I can't really imagine them being scared of Plotz. But this year, having picked this video back up, I am filled with great amouns of rage. Therefore, Zazza the clown was born (fuck you David).

- The lore is Zazza the clown sat down on a big chair one day, and people in suits made him CEO. He is an annoying, evil, money grubbing bastard. But also very stupid, so he's not that scary except when he's doing his bad ideas.

- The Warners aren't scared of him though, they are mainly doing this for fun because annoying Disney and the rat would be funny. However, going a bit deeper, they do crave praise and affection from those who hate him (aka the CEO, the entire company, any person with a brain that's around them at all times), so they are also doing this for those reasons. In the original show, there's even an episode where Plotz is not the CEO anymore, and they managed to get him back because they missed him yelling at them (probably not a direct quote, but it was something like that). The children are not well snjene. But yeah they're not taking sides nor scared, they're just doing whatever they want and maybe getting a fist bump out of it. (They are not going to get anything).

- Had to hit them with the PTSD about getting locked in a tower though jsjske, it had to match the lyrics.

- nsjsk actually the lyrics probably make the Warners sound more evil than what I picture them (though I do see them as really big menaces). To be fair, in Nightmare Before Christmas, Lock Shock and Barrel sing this whole song about torturing Santa Claus, only to just put a bag on him and give it to Jack directly. That's probably all that the Warners are gonna do in the end, maybe play with him for a bit but eh. (WB will not pay for psychological damages).

- I didn't plan a motive as to why the clown wants Mickey. Uhhhhh blackmail? Idk, feel free to come up with a reason.

- I always drew the Warners with fangs, you can see my other videos and old fanart on Tumblr. When the reboot was still airing, I drew like it looking like canine teeth, but originally I really liked drawing the cartoonish fangs like you see here, and recently I decided to start doing that again.

I think that's it! Probably a lot of grammatical mistakes (it's 5:40 AM), but I'm not editing this sjkeje. All I have left to say is I GOT TWO COMMENTS ABOUT THIS BEING A 18+ VIDEO, GUYS WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTTING WDYMMMM. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THUMBNAIL, YOUR BRAIN IS JUST ROTTING.

[angstics]

can you talk more about the significance of the monty clift poster in blue velvet?

absolutely. when i rewatched the film a month or so back, it impacted me instantly. thinking about it now, it's still so affecting. such a meaningful choice.

the scene im talking about is directly after dorothy (isabella rossellini) shows up hurt and naked, and embraces jeffrey (kyle maclachlan). sandy (laura dern) is very hurt that jeffrey was secretly sleeping with dorothy (and that she found out this way). there's already a lot of subtext here, but the primary thing to know for my incoming point is that the whole film is about perversion, sexual trauma, and trauma response -- as related to the underbelly of american suburbia AND american mass media ("blue velvet" was a pop hit!). one basic reading of this scene is that jeffrey's perversion (perversion of sleeping with a vulnerable, dangerous, older woman -- and kissing sandy while doing it) is finally revealed to sandy. it's the answer to her "i dont know if you're a detective or a pervert" question earlier in the film. and it makes her painfully sob and slap jeffrey.

jeffrey leaves. 10 seconds later, we cut to sandy's room, which is the only time we see it iirc. and it opens with this image

it's a poster of monty clift (40s-66 actor) late in his life. the camera moves back and reveals we're looking at a mirror. sandy is leaning on the poster as she calls jeffrey. crying, she says "you lied to me." jeffrey replies, "sandy, please, forgive me. i love you." sandy replies, "i forgive you, jeffrey. i love you. god, i love you. but i couldn't watch that. is she okay?" and the conversation continues from there.

so, it is very striking that this sudden scene of forgiveness and unconditional love despite (or in understanding of?) perversity begins with a shot of a poster of monty clift.

clift had a hard life. i dont know if or how often he was happy, but just on paper it was difficult: he was too famous, prying press, drinking/drug problem, privately gay/bi, terrible health problems, facially disfiguring accident, labeled difficult to work with (which made him unemployed for the last 4 years of his life, before he died at 45 of a heart attack). maybe mentally ill too. also, he was constantly gossiped about for his relationships with older women. this came from both the public and his industry. so, for reasons including and beyond his sexuality, monty clift was othered. made perverse. the underbelly of americana

he was a total star when he started movies. a heartthrob, a box office AND critical draw, a new kind of actor. he directly inspired many, including ofc jimmy dean. he remained big for a bit (even after his accident in 56) but died before he could salvage his image.

so. again. david lynch choosing to begin this scene about learning about the perversities of someone you love, and choosing to love them anyway, on monty clift... is really impacting. im invested in the "blue velvet" story, so im already emotional, but im also invested in my complicated relationships with stars (including monty). it's emotional to see someone real so derided for who he is being loved this way (and all the symbolic acceptance of queerness, substance dependence, all sorts of perversion). sandy not only loves monty, she LEANS on him for support when she's in pain. she's talking to monty as much as she's talking to jeffrey -- and she doesnt even know it.

this is the first and only time we see this poster -- first and only time we see ANY poster of ANY star (iirc). her wall isnt even collaged. the film frame is filled with monty at first. it's such a striking, purposeful image.

it's david lynch's great empathy for this real person and great love for films & film culture. it's a quiet, loving tribute. it's the whole point of the film

also, id like to point out that "blue velvet" features a number of old hollywood actors, most prominently dennis hopper, dean stockwell, & hope lange, who all acted during the film's setting (55-65). it's a tribute to them as well. an empathy, an understanding, an acceptance. it's emotional on that front as well

I went to Missouri Comic Con as Eddie Kaspbrak and had a blast

Ignore the fact that i accidentally wrote LVSER instead of LOVER, i had to write it upside down.

I had such a blast and met so many awesome people, some of my favorite moments from the con were.

-When i met this ghost buster dude named Eddie and he told me he knows every horror character with his name. He loved my costume and asked me if i "had any gazebos" so i did the whole gazebos rant and we all had a good laugh.

-this one lady who told me my costume was the best costume she'd seen all day. I struck a scared pose for her and she LOVED it. Then i told her about all my IT aus and fanart and she was so nice and praised me about it.

-a lady at an art booth critiqued my IT fanart for me.

-i saw a spiderman cosplayer in a back pack and yelled at him "EYO BACK PACK BUDDIES" and he yelled back "BACK PACK BUDDIES"

-someone asked me if i was from stranger things and i physically cringed.

-i exchanged my tumblr and ao3 with two people, shout out to: @n0min0

-i started dancing to anime music at a random booth and lola bunny cosplayer cheered me on

-i made friends with a Freddy Krueger cosplayer and he continously talked to me all through out the convention. We talked about creepshow, carrie, nightmare on elm stree, lots of stuff. He introduced me as the "IT girl" and told people i was the foremost authority on it.

-this little girl sang the theme from ponyo with me.

-Some one was running around with the declaration od independence and told me to sign it in character, so i signed it for both me and Freddy and even drew a little inhaler by it

-someone asked me if i was excited for welcome to derry and then for a trivia question asked me how many years pennywise is in Derry. Obviously i said 27 and for that i won a mean girls bandana.

-i met this pennywise cosplayer with a prop boat and she asked me if i wanted to take a picture with it.

-her friend told me eddie was her fav loser and that if she had a kid hed be like him

-freddy and i kept yelling "eddie and freddie" at each other and we talked in character for a bit. I told him the worst thing about being bullied by henry bowers is the smell, cause he doesnt fucking shower ever.

-i got a drawing of rarity and a figurine of cinderella for ten bucks

-i ate funnel fries, a pretzel, popcorn, and a frito pie.

-someone came up to me and told me they had "the biggest IT obsession in 2017"

-i met these MLP cosplayers and i told them rarity was my fav pony so they gave me a handmade rarity bracelet!

-i told someone my fav character was henry bowers and they just said "you know what, that makes sense. He's very silly.".

-someone complimented my costume IN THE WOMENS RESTROOM. they shook my hand and geeked out about IT with me.

-Someone told me they were a richie cosplayer and then asked me "hey where's richie?" Ans i acted all sad and told him the clown got him, causing everyone to lose their minds.

-i carried funko pops of stan and penny with me and when id ask someone to hold stan theyd always be like "omg im so honored, i must be delicate with him" and whenever id drop him people would scream "noooo!! Poor baby!!"

There was a lot of other super fun stuff that i'm probablt forgetting, but everyone was super nice and i'm dying to go back next year as richie.

That'd be helpful, I wanna draw fanart

after many grueling hours they are finally done! ofc their outfits change but these ones give a good idea of how they dress. some design notes and inspiration underneath. im gonna redo their bio sheets at some point soon too so look out for that

in order of the height chart:

dumois: i wanted to make her look kind of like a little kids nursery and also incorporate her astrology interest into her design more so i gave her more charms in her hair and a cute quilt-inspired victorian nightgown. oughh shes so cute i love her sm <3 i think her colors turned out a lot more comprehensive compared to her old design where i threw a bunch of different purples at the wall and they kind of looked bad. now shes so prettyyy and i think the naptime sleepy cowsheepgirl aesthetic has definitely been captured

zubi: their fashion is usually the hardest for me to conceptualize because its like a weird mix of beachy clothes and emo rave... i think this outfit turned out good though, and i really like that the pops of coral/salmon evoke the beach while the dark fishnets evoke deeper dark water. i also almost gave them longer ponytails (think like miku has) bc i thought it would look pretty in water but i decided not to bc everyone else besides gaglug has long hair and i think the weird hair they have now has a good unique silhouette. i also turned their fins the other way so that they would actually be helpful in water

paezel: hes finally buff!!!! the crowd goes wiiiiiiild. he also has his pact tattoo on his arm (its supposed to look like a plant bc thats maeves thing) i feel like the tail kind of went from bovine to almost dragonlike but i actually really like that. i dress him like in the second spongebob movie when theyre in the apocalypse and i love it. not much else to say but i think he definitely looks a lot better

aureus: ok so her design turned out so elaborate that i had to go back and redo the designs i did before hers (dumois, lumiloriol + zubi) so that they wouldnt look lame asf which overally definitely helped their concepts. aureus is supposed to be way more over the top than everyone else but still i mean i cant let the others be flops. shes soooo pretty though i used a reference for her rococo style and it definitely helped a lot. my princess my darling i love youuu

lumiloriol: i usually try to keep their clothes kind of simplistic to highlight their own natural beauty, but i did give them the scarf kind of thing and the train for some layers. for lumiloriol i usually take a lot of inspiration from gothic art especially john martins paradise lost art (because of course) and i definitely feel like i was able to incorporate it. i also think they look super androgynous which i loveee bc angels usually are... they really do look like a fallen angel even if they technically are a step removed

concupiscence: connie i luv uuuuuuuu <3 concupiscence has gone through a lot of different inspirations over the years but ive settled into a britney spears/paris hilton smashup for him and so i based his outfit on various outfits both wore in the early 2000s. shes also got the striped tongue now which i decided to give her a while back bc i think its a fun addition to her design, reminds you that shes a creature. my girly <33333

gaglug: yeah um i got rid of four of its arms... they were making the design wayyy too busy and hard to draw. now it has funny little weird grubby arm thingies though so its okay its still buggy. umm not too much to say here since it doesnt wear clothes but i do love its bug hooves so much :)

anyways i love you my silly 400 year old 20 year olds

[das-boog]

So I tabled Cosmic Con recently and it was… pretty dead. Dead enough that my buddy who does a little local con photojournalism messaged to ask What The Fuck He Just Saw Happen after. But it got me and the other artists talking about what makes a good show for artists. I came home to bluesky also being on this topic, and about how a lot of artists alley tabling had changed into a more polished, IP driven experience than the days where a scrappy newcomer could do better. So I’m gonna paraphrase my thread about it here for folks, it may be helpful.

A big part of the bluesky convo hit all the notes you get whenever artists have complaints about the convention scene; the attendees don't seem like they care, other artists production values make an arms race out of table merch, tables are too expensive ever since quarantine, the other tables that were there marketing unrelated products eat up space and bandwith and act obnoxious, and wouldn't it be nice if there was a show that was all Just Artists Alley? From talking to other folks that were there and my own prior experience, I think I've reached an unpopular conclusion; all of these problems (high production values/lack of tabling "scrappiness", expensive tables, no customers and irritating unrelated businesses) are related, and solving them basically means that your comics show CAN'T be all Just Artists Alley. Or at least, it can't while it's small and growing. I can't speak to anyone else's locale, but as someone whose convention scene is MOSTLY locked to NYC I can tell you a lot of the small scrappy cons and zinefests went bye-bye after covid. The convention industry already runs on shoestring budgets and entrepreneurial weirdness, it's not surprising a bunch tanked, and the survivors of this comics K-pg extinction event have had many more artists competing for much fewer tables, allowing them to jack up tabling prices from $150 to a whopping $300 to $500. There's also been a proliferation of new small shows cropping up to fill these now open niches; cons are kind of like restaurants in that a lot of Goofy Goobers assume they know how to run one because they've been to a few of them.

Either way, the con has to sustain itself, either on table prices or ticket sales. If it does it by table prices, then

1) artists are incentivised to compete on polish and quality, which drives up the cost and production value for zines/merch even further and

2) it doesnt have as much reason to actually draw in attendees that then buy merch

A small con can keep itself pretty low rent, on paper all you really need is tables, chairs and a public space. $300 a pop for 20-something artists slots is more than enough to rent out some card tables and a room at the rec center, turn a tidy profit, and not have to attract even a single attendee.

It's not all bleakness out there because there ARE shows I've seen continue to turn a tidy profit. MOCCAfest, every year I can get in, makes me Rent Money explicitly because they already have a reputation with the local arts community; they're guaranteed attendees who care about you, the artists, and the available panels and announcements. But that's built on the back of 24 years of work and exposure. SPX and RICE have similar reputations as major comics hubs. But if you're a newer pop-culture related show, and you don't already have a reputation for excellence in the arts, you need to have more to offer attendees. You need spectacle, entertainment. Something that justifies the value of the ticket prices beyond admission to a flea market.

I attended Brooklyn Comic Con last year and I was blown away by the size of the crowds, as well as the sheer tonnage of relatively unknown artists who were making money hand over fist. Next to nobody was selling IP merch because nobody had to, it was nearly all originals and personal projects. The branded/product booths were all kept at one corner of the show where they wouldn't compete with artists alley, and in the middle of the hall was a wrestling ring where a local indie league was doing a performance, not far from a video game tourney and small gameshow-y performance. The line to get in went around the block.

The most successful cons for artists and organizers alike have been ones where attendees get more for the ticket price than a row of tables to shop at. Indie wrestling leagues like the above have been a big draw, I hear some other shows have been doing it too, but I bet you could get bands and larp groups as well. Big Apple Comiccon has long been home the home of a jedi stagefighting-larp group that does free swordsmanship demos. Brooklyn con was probably one of the busiest new cons I've seen in an age and MOST of the tabling artists were scrappy weirdos, because 40 feet away there was a wrestling ring and drink stands where you could get a kentucky mule and watch two large former theater kids try to kill each other.

Going back to the earlier notes about zinefest scrappiness and production values, table pricing going up means that it's a lot more important for artists to be able to sell at these events. Which drives up the amount they're willing to spend on merch to compete and catch attention, which ALSO drives up the cost of tabling even more. This one's kind of a no-brainer, right? If you can't make money at the show, that limits who can afford to exhibit. Conventions go from being part of an artists livelihood to an advertising drain on their business, making it harder and harder for artists from poorer backgrounds to exhibit their work. But at Brooklyncon? I saw home-silkscreened shirts, experimental cassette tapes, and hand printed zines like I aint seen since the 2010s, flying off of folks tables. If you want to keep that scrappy, everyone's welcome, everyone can make art vibe to your comic shows, either table costs have to go down so it's less of an investment or attendance has to go up so that you're more likely to get that money back. And if shows aren't willing to lower their table price, then you need to REALLY scrutinize what they're doing to make sure YOU will have access to an actually valuable audience who will provide the resources for you to make more art.

Tl:dr version: if you want the vibe to switch to be more in favor of low rent indie tabling, you need shows that put more into drawing large attendances, and that means artists alley CANT be the only thing going on. you should be looking at who organizers are marketing it to, you or the attendee, and keep looking elsewhere if the answer is "you". You're talent, not a customer. Keep that in mind when determining what tables you'll pay for and what the show can offer you.

blond boyz headcannons cuz they mean the world to me

- yamamoto smells REALLY good and everyone always asks what he uses but hes only every told the other 4

- terushima makes rubber band keychains and all of them have an absurd amount of them

- all of their sisters treat them all like their brothers, whether theyre actually related or not

- kyōtani and noya have an unhealthy amount of stuffed animals

- tanakas the main person that takes care of everyones hair (cuts it, buzzes it, dyes it, etc)

- tanaka and kyōtani knew eachother since they popped out the womb, teru and noya were neighbors and best friends, and the whole friendgroup started cuz yamamoto was a mutual friend of everyones

- noya schedules most of their hangouts (in the randomest of places)

- when they actually hangout at one of their houses its normally terus

- kyōtani and teru are both trans and a little thing that makes them feel more seen as guys is that the other 3 dont go easy on them when wrestling like how most guys do when theyre wrestling with girls

- tanaka and noya do drag from time to time (they got into it cuz kyōtani kept doing their make up)

- yamamoto and noya have the biggest skincare routine known to man

need to get this out of my system before i start working on my finals

but i really, REALLY hate it when i see aichi sendou fanart where they make him so... childlike...? idk what the pc term for it is but yknow like hes made for the shotacons and it genuinely makes me frown. which, this is a fictional character yes, but man does it upset me that its the majority of the fanart of him available.

like, sure you're drawing him in the earlier seasons as a young boy and thats fine but i think theres a really REALLY big gap between drawing a child and drawing... whatever the hell i see when i look up aichi sendou fanart on google

but its important to remember that some of these fanarts - if not most - are from an older time, but that doesnt mean that there ain't anyone making it anymore. so when it does eventually pops up in my feed i genuinely cringe

gods especially with kaiai/kaichi fanart where he's drawn as a little child in comparison to kai. like. IM AWARE they have very major height difference in earlier seasons but again theres a difference between height difference and turning aichi into a 5 year old im afraid

which is why i love a lot of tumblr artists for drawing him the way they do, a way where they don't shotacon-fy aichi

anyways, thats all of it, just had to let it out 🙂‍↕️

[crushedsweets]

What kind of weapons do they all have or powers

PROXIES + O/S VICTIMS

SO. everyone who was ever infected by the operator (proxies, jeff, clocky) has permanently heightened strength, endurance, and senses. so even thin lanky people like jeff and clocky can hold their own against someone like tim. BUT the proxies are obviously stronger since theyre CURRENTLY infected by slendy. jeff and clockys strength is slowly wearing off as the years go by.

this post gets more detailed with the proxies abilities. kates the strongest when in O/S mode, but it completely takes over her mind (which is why she behaves the way she does in game). brians the weakest in O/S mode, but he's the most stable. toby's a special case cuz he seems to keep his mentality in every situation

PARANORMAL

jack is pretty similar. his skin feels like normal skin, but wounding it is difficult. sort of like ghouls from tokyo ghoul ... not impossible to kill, but it is difficult. again, echolocation and thermavision. the keratin in his nails forms AROUND the finger tip and turns into the black claws i draw. it can be cut, but it grows back in 2 weeks.

sally is a poltergeist, so. floating, go through walls, can throw objects, make rooms freezing cold, etc. touching her physical form is almost like trying to touch liquid... like, you can feel it, but your hand goes through it. BUT she can sort of 'solidify' her form (usually so jane can hold her hand, do her hair) but it takes energy.

BEN has pretty much the same powers as sally, BUT ALSO is like. inherently attached to the internet and technology. touching him feels like touching an old box TV, where you can feel the static. this is mostly for the sake of story convenience, but i also make him give off a wifi signal LMFAOOO you could be in the middle of the forest and still scroll the internet if he's close enough. he can also completely dissipate his form and exist within technology.

ZALGOIDS

ann and lulu have crazy regeneration. cut off one of their legs and it pops right back on. lulu also knows where everyone is at all times if it's foggy, since she can sense every water particle. so if toby's hiding behind a tree and isnt visible in sight, lulu can still sense him. ann also has this insanely painful scream but idk if i'd call it a power. its just inhuman levels loud, but not killer

dina is the same with all her senses and regeneration, but she also has a lot of like. her body transforms like crazy. mostly into animalistic stuff like owls, occasionally sheep... doesnt really give her the ability to fly or anything, but is pretty scary seeing blood wings rip out through her back

lazari, AGAIN, has all of those senses and endurance and whatever. her body rapidly transforms into demonic figures. goats and hawks and all the eyes and whatnot. she's probably one of the absolute strongest creeps, but her mind is so vulnerable that the proxies+jack get ahold of her very quickly and she relaxes.

WEAPONS

jeff uses knives OBVIOUSLY. brian and tim like their guns. toby and hatches. clocky and machetes+guns. kate uses her bare fucking hands (and rocks and scrap metal etc....). anns favorite torture toy when she was alive was a hack saw. jane keeps a gun in a gun cabinet at her house, for self defense. nobody else really has a designated weapon preference

[thepostofficesketch]

i love lisa frankensetin truly movie of the year instant favorite i will show it to my children and say 'they dont make em like this anymore'

Anyway something something the fact that lisa's bedroom is pink and she keeps sentimental objects and she wants a love story to happen to her and she wants to be wanted belies her goth badass transformation in a neat way

While she is desperate for agency after her trauma, and draws from goth counterculture music and dress to express that agency, she still deep down just really wants the kind of pink hearts cuteness that every teenage girl wants. And she doesnt lose that feeling and i think eventually learns to embrace it along with the dark streak. She belts out reo speedwagon while also loving the cure. She uses her ability to be flirtatious to lure a kid to his death. She does not flinch from gore but never actually commits murder herself.

She is an embodiment of the subversion of femininity - teen femininity in particular. Much like the pop cultural asymilation of sukeban of 80's Japan, she turns the expectations of the boys into a powerful weapon to use against them and express her true desires by dressing as differently to taffy (the emblematic 'popular girl) as she can adopting the edgier and less refined goth/punk look which was in itself popularized away from its original manifestation as a counterculture.

spamton and addison headcanon post ^^

i saw one of my moots do this and i have many headcanons for mine so i thought id also post mine :D

(small sidenote a lot of these i stole borrowed from other creators and fics and stuff so i will highlight the unoriginal ones and put a key at the bottom)

addisons are 3d models so they can do stuff like glitch out and clip into walls n whatnot (but it only really happens when somethings wrong which is why spamtons is so much worse)

spamton can pop his jaw and limps in and out of place like a doll (also bjd body if that wasnt obvious)

spamton is eerily good at piano - he learnt it during his big shot era

addison hands are kinda like mitts which they can split into fingers if needed. also they can split into claws for self defence if one is in danger

spamtons ad speech and glitchiness get worse when hes stressed :c

spamton pretty much always speaks super energetically, like minecraft youtuber style

spamtons skin is made of plastic but normal addison skin is not. this also means spamton doesnt have the same thing where his hands arent mitt like which he can split into fingers theyre just always hand

addisons are luminescent but spamton isnt bc puppet

spamton (and jevil) can both speak wingdings

spamtons always had the pipis but they havent always looked like pipis. they used to look like a little red notification dot and the number on the dot would show how much damage it would do

all addisons just have black eyes (sometimes theyre lines and sometimes not depends if i can be arsed to draw proper eyes lol) but spamtons are a bright blue from the shadow crystal incident. if you look closely enough you can see a sun and clouds

also he doesnt have very good vision and without his glasses his eyes will feel like theyre burning

i believe in puppetification theory more than acid theory but i think that the acid is still harmful to addisons. if it comes in contact with their skin it can cause rashes/burning (like a bad sunburn) and if they swallow it it can make them ill or glitchy. if they swallow too much than it can cause irreversible code corruption, which is the main reason why spamton is so glitchy (but mike still caused a lot of the speech thing, its just the physical glitching caused by the acid)

spamton is super agile and sneaky like a cat (i mean no one found him for years in cyber city which isnt a massive place so it makes sense)

can mimic voices really well but in the bracketed speech. basically he can record voices

key vvv

red - taken from System Rebooting : Please Stand By (fic by manofthepipis on a03 GO READ IT ITS SO GOOD)

blue - taken from Defragmentation (comic by Zarla-s on tumblr, comicfury and devart and prolly a few others GO READ IT KAJHFKAH)

pink - idk ive seen so many people do it that I cant credit it to one specific person

anything uncoloured is smth i made up myself B)

[castlebyersafterdark]

you not being alone in your unrestrained appreciation of this man:

https://www.tumblr.com/henbeaka/754216657617092608/we-are-all-will-byers-internally?source=share

if will doesnt draw mike laid out with nothing on sometime somewhere in his life, it will be a goddamn tragedy (has titanic really ruined this trope by making it a joke? doesnt matter cos titanic wont be out until 97 and are byler even going to see it at the movies? hmmm im not sure. maybe will sneaks away to see it cos mike scorns, or drags him along and mike is mortified by how much he liked it

i mean they are both swooning at leo di caprio, let's not lie to ourselves)

even funnier possibility: will steals jon's camera to take saucy pics of mike but forgets to figure out developing them, then jon develops the print and his eyes are burned from his skull (phoebe from friends voice ''ahhhhh my eyes! my eyes!'')

Are you kidding me? Absolutely. I'd say getting to draw Mike in all his naked glory is one of Will's top fantasies. Our soulful little artist. He'd have dreamt of this, years of watching Mike and sketching him. Quick little studies of his profile when they're hanging out and his sketchbook is present. And then there are the secret, indulgent drawings that he feels somewhat ashamed about, in his private sketchbook hidden in a tear in his mattress he'd cut years ago. But they get together and grow comfortable with each other. Will draws Mike. A lot. But now Mike sits for him, poses under Will's instruction. Mike, who can't sit still, but can sit still for Will. It's an excuse to stare at him.

One day Will shyly asks Mike to take his shirt off as he draws. He just wants to practice on anatomy, he swears is his excuse. Sure. Mike doesn't let that comment slide 🤭 But Will sketches him, both are blushing all the while. The art sessions get bolder. Instead of the chair, Mike lounges on the bed. Ditches his shirt automatically. Will almost can't get the words out when he asks him to take off his pants the next time. And another time - everything. It's vulnerable. Tense. Intimate, to be completely exposed under an artist's gaze. Eyes roving over all that beautiful, pale skin and the dark curls all over his chest and lower. Putting pencil to paper to capture and draw the most intimate parts of his lover. Mike's confidence grows over time when he looks at Will's drawings, sees how Will truly views him.

Will doesn't lie. And neither does his art.

Flash forward, and it's the late 90s, and our boys are cinephiles for sure. They love living in the big city, having access to so many more films. So much never reached their small town. Titanic would have reached them, though. Anywhere. It may not have been their top pick of the year, but it's a pop culture moment and they relent and grab some tickets to check out the hype. The movie is breaking countless records and reviews say that it is a technical marvel in film-making. Mike has a secret guilty pleasure for romcoms (if it's heavy on the com! he insists. Will lets him believe that's the whole truth) and he's willing to branch out from sheer curiosity, while Will does love a historical drama, heavy emphasis on the drama. If it ends up cheesy or boring, the two of them always have fun sharing mocking commentary whispered in each other's ear. So, they're both a little shocked to find themselves swept up in the sincere romance portion of the movie, and both keep looking at each other with eyes that just say everything, smirking about their new mutual crush on mister Leo. What a cutie. And then - the draw me like one of your French girls scene. Mike squeaks a laugh during that scene and claps a hand over his mouth as he giggles out of his control and Will whips his head to stare at him. They know. They fucking know what they are. How many times have they done this? Mike, laid out and posed on the bed as Will traces soft graphite across paper as his eyes trace the sharp angles and lines of Mike's body. It's a random Wednesday and they're at a theater in Chelsea, one of their favorites. They don't have to worry as much there, and have been holding hands since they took their seats. Mike pulls the ultimate date-move and stretches, and his arm re-positons across Will's shoulders. He pulls him close and leans over to place a kiss to his neck just as Rose is retying her robe and admiring Jack's sketch. "When we get home, will you draw me like--" and he doesn't get to finish as Will cuts him off with a kiss and the world's fondest eye roll.
