.・College Ellie Headcannons゜・

Note: This is more loser Ellie-centric, I wanna maybe do a part two with just reader and her. Some sexual content and mentions of getting zooted below so 18+ warning!

•Art major, but she’s not the typical hot artsy lesbian you dream of her to be. More like rolls a fat blunt and sketches in her journal, it’ll either turn out to be a masterpiece or look like a crackhead had a go with her paper.

•Speaking of art major, when she’s horny and frustrated because she refuses to hook-up…she draws the lewdest art known to woman-kind. Those are her real masterpieces, but she can’t exactly turn them in for credit in her art class, can she? Fuck, the things that woman can make, though. Lowkey uses her exes naked bodies as inspiration though, maybe kind of weird but who’s gonna stop her?

•Doesn’t eat the food on campus half the time. She is embarrassingly addicted to Tai Pei containers and the occasional microwavable egg-roll. “That shit’s nasty, Ellie! Goddamn, just eat the Tacos 4 Life we have on campus.” Her friends will all tell her, but no. It’s like a guilty pleasure. Maybe it’s cause she grew up lower class and is used to TV dinners, has a special trauma bond to food that should be banned and probably is outside of America.

•Wardrobe consists of band tees, honorable mentions to Gorillaz and Falling in Reverse.

•Is actually an insanely talented writer. After reading her journals I feel like nobody talks about how emotional her entries are and she keeps a journal of her own in college for sure, not only for sketching and organizing art but also to write all her feelings out.

“Fuck me, this is my last year being gay.” -After her and Cat’s break-up, probably.

•Hates coffee. Definitely game-cannon, but this is important to the college setting. It’s the classic Monster or nothing, and she will absolutely judge you for drinking coffee. She calls it “the devil’s dirt.” So dramatic.

•Used to watch bad Hallmark movies because of Dina, now watches them alone because she misses Dina. There’s nothing like crying your eyes out to Christmas Under Wraps!

•Has a collection of rubber ducks on her shelf. Doesn’t use her very small space for normal things like her wallet or books, no. It’s rubber fucking ducks.

•Also has a slipper collection in her tiny closet, from Pikachu all the way to dinosaur feet.

•Has the “two-seater” t-shirt (iykyk) but refuses to wear it in public because she’s a pussy

•Favorite fruit is grapes. I just know my girl loves grapes when she can get her hands on them steer clear bc she will NOT share. Favorite candy is gummy worms!

•Actually wears rain boots when it’s wet outside or snowing

•Likes wired earbuds over airpods, listens to Pearl Jam when she misses living with Joel

•Is oddly good at making those little paper stars and has a huge grocery bag of then in all different patterns and colors

•When she starts dating you she shows you her dinosaur cookie-cutter collection because you're really good at baking. (Also bc she wants to see you in a frilly cute apron!)

•Is a slut for hugs. Kisses are cool, sex is great but agghhh Ellie just loves wrapping her arms around you and sometimes when you two are in her dorm she'll just hug you for what feels like hours on end, she calls it her 'weekly therapy.'

•Loves high sex because when she's sober she hates feeling like she's awkward or all up in her head. She also has a tendency to invite you over for sex after smoking.

•Has a septum piercing. Maybe this one is self-indulgent because I would go ballistic over seeing actual Ellie with one, but I say that college Ellie got hers pierced at 16 and didn't cry over the pain but wanted to literally jump off of a bridge the entire healing process it was so bad.

•Sometimes when you kiss her, her septum will slide over and look uneven and she feels fucking NIGERIA FALLS in her boxers when you fix it for her. Also for those of you who are sluts for glasses, you can fix her glasses too and it'll make her just as weak.

Bakugou tutted, flicking through the photos Mina had posted to Instagram. One from last years Hero Gala, with Tweedle Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest crowded into his personal space - all smiles, suits and champagne flutes. A post-graduation selfie with the woman herself, where he felt so triumphant at moving onto the next stage of his quest to become #1, that he hadn’t even objected to the filter that gave them huge eyelashes and bear ears. A couple from their most recent meetups, candids from their school days (mostly taken without his knowledge, let alone permission; the only one that he was posing for featured a double middle finger that had set Iida off for a good fifteen minutes), one from a photoshoot his publicist had strong armed him into and his friends had christened ‘The Great Bakugou Thirst Trap of 2020’.

Bakugou did not consider himself a sentimental person, or someone who placed a great deal of importance on his own birthday; he hadn’t even made any fuss when you told him you were needed in Osaka for a mission that would take you away two days before he turned 24.

But he couldn’t help but go back to the first photo of the bunch, allowing himself a soft smile he would deny under oath.

His 17th birthday, his first birthday with - ugh - real friends. He remembered rolling his eyes when Racoon Eyes had given her blindingly pink phone to the waitress, yelling at Sparky and Tape Face when they’d shoved themselves into the same side of the booth as the rest of them, growling when Shitty Hair had told him to ‘say ‘cheese’, Bakubro!’.

They all looked so young, pre-undercuts and piercings and late teenage growth spurts. He’d have to remember the (very secret) happiness that night had brought him next time Kirishima annoyed him by stepping mud into his carpet or Kaminari pissed him off by opening his big fat mouth.

Bakugou was drawn from his thoughts by knocking on his office door. Knocking that started out strong for the first hit, dropping noticeably into something more tentative for the rest; probably once they remembered whose door they were knocking on. Kirishima had once told him that the interns drew straws on who had to ‘rattle the beast’s cage’ (interact with Bakugou). He’d know; that idiot had been rattling Bakugou’s cage 25/8 since their first year at Yuuei.

“Come in!”

The door opened far enough for an assistant who had already been by this morning with a sack of birthday cards mixed in with regular fan mail to poke their head through the gap.

“Mr Dynamight, Sir, there’s another delivery for you.”

Bakugou nodded, leaning back in his leather desk chair and stretching out his back. Damn paperwork day, and on his birthday. Fuck, was 24 the age your back started aching from sitting in a goddamn chair?!

The assistant continued as they approached the desk, despite the fact that Bakugou didn’t fucking ask.

“It’s a cake, from a lovely bakery downtown; a delivery person just dropped it off. Their cakes are exquisite, by all accounts.”

They stepped back from the desk once the baby blue box was securely placed down, a white satin ribbon wound expertly around it. An embossed logo Bakugou recognised shone under the overhead light.

The blonde’s quirk made short work of the ribbon, burning it idly with one hand so the rest could be severed with ease.

Bakugou flipped the lid of the box up, letting it fall fully open so he could inspect the contents. He blinked. He blinked again.

It was a cake. A strawberry shortcake, slathered with cream and fresh fruit, and perfectly placed in the centre was a chocolate disc with immaculately piped words.

♡ HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYNAMIGHT ♡

“It’s from your fanclub!”

He let his eyes drift back up to the assistant, who - from what Bakugou could infer from the overly positive, cheery tone he was using - clearly thought Bakugou was seconds away from blasting the expensive gateau across his office, and was trying to avert having to call the janitorial staff back up to this floor. He understood; unbridled, perhaps not-always-reasonable rage was kind of his brand, and the cleaners had already had to make a return journey today after Kaminari had set off several sprinklers making toast.

A cake. Yes, a cake. From his fanclub. A cake from his fanclub. That he was definitely going to eat and nothing else, nothing weird! A cake for him to eat. At home. In private. As soon as possible.

“That’s-” He cleared his throat and tried again. “That’s...great. It looks delicious...yes. Thanks. That’s all. You can...go.”

The assistant looked like they were struggling to process the combination of words that had just left Bakugou, but he was pleased when they decided to take this struggle on the road and left his office with a rushed “Yes, Mr Dynamight, Sir, thank you, you are welcome, good bye!” and the click of the office door.

Bakugou barely had time to drag his fingers through his hair, letting out a breath he had apparently been holding since he’d spoken, before the door opened again.

“Knock knock!” “You know he says it doesn’t count if you say it instead of doing it, especially if you’ve already open- Denki!”

Bakugou groaned as Kaminari shot across the room, peering into the still-open box on the desk. “Ooh, that looks amazing, bro! Can I have some?”

“Hey, Kats! Happy birthday, man!” Kirishima beamed at him before dropping his gaze to the cake Kaminari was currently eyefucking. Bakugou slid the box an inch or two closer to himself. He steadfastly ignored the other blonde’s question.

“Thanks, Ei. What’s Dunce Face doing here - world’s worst birthday present?”

Kirishima snorted, clapping Kaminari on the shoulder. “Ran into him a few blocks away on our patrols; figured we’d catch you now to say ‘happy birthday’ on the actual day instead of waiting for Saturday!”

Kaminari brought out what he probably considered the big guns; his finger guns, that he did for literally everything. “Happy birthday, Blasty! Speaking of your birthday, where did the cake come from? Sent with luuurve from Osaka? Although, that would be weird because you don’t even really like sweets and this won’t keep until Saturday when we get togeth-“

“It’s from my fanclub, Pikachu, and keep your staticky hands off my cake!” Bakugou flipped the lid back down, shielding the cake from view.

“Man, don’t be like that - there’s no way you’re gonna be able to eat all that by yourself!” Kaminari whined.

“Relax, Denks - you know Y/N has a cake ordered for Bakubro’s Belated Birthday Blowout!” Kirishima patted his back consolingly.

“I really wish you’d all stop calling it that. God, letting you guys have their number was a fucking mistake.”

Kaminari looked thoughtful; it was terrifying. “You know, I heard, one time, a hero got given a homemade cake by a fan, and when they took a bite of it, they realised they had a mouth full of the fan’s pubic hair!”

“Dude!” “What the everloving fuck, Dunce Face?!”

Kaminari just beamed, apparently proud of himself for making Bakugou question his life on the anniversary of his birth.

“Firstly, does this cake look fucking homemade to you? Secondly, where the fuck did you read that? ‘Disgusting Stories for Stupid Fucking Idiots Monthly’?”

Kaminari shrugged, nonplussed. “Sero told me.”

“Yes, then. Same thing, pretty much.”

Kirishima interrupted, looking thoughtful. “If you think Bakubro’s cake is full of pubes, why do you want to eat it?”

“Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve had a mouthful of pubes, bro! ‘Toshi’s more of an au naturel kind of guy…”

Bakugou saw Kirishima’s (painful looking) thinking face intensify, and intervened immediately. “Ei, do not pull at this thread. He-“ Bakugou punctuated with a harsh jab towards the electric hero. “- has told us several times that he’s had Mindfucker’s dirty feet in his mouth before, not to mention all the bodily fluids, and then there’s all the disgusting public places they’ve fucked, and-“

“Don’t kinkshame me, bruh!” Kaminari cut in, sounding lowkey offended, but Bakugou noted the look of pride from before hadn’t diminished, even a little bit.

Bakugou snorted. He constantly shamed Kaminari and his walking corpse of a boyfriend, but that was because they were shamelessly disgusting oversharing nymphomaniacs and someone had to do it. Preferably before one of them creamed their pants in a karaoke bar again. That was Shinkami shaming, not kinkshaming.

He definitely had no room to kinkshame people; not with the plans he had for this cake.

***

Bakugou slammed the door to his apartment shut with his hip and laid the bakery box down on the side table so he could make quick work of his boots and jacket.

God, that had to have been the longest taxi ride of his life. He couldn’t risk the subway with such a precious cargo, so he’d had to sit in the back of the cab next to the box (that he’d had to resist the urge to belt in) and sweat in silence.

Bakugou didn’t know where this kink had come from - maybe he’d watched too much Food Network in his formative years, or passing by the bakery with the amazing smell opposite his junior high school twice a day for three years before going home to jerk it had warped his sexuality; all he knew was, he was gonna fuck this cake.

It was a shame that you were miles and miles away and unavailable for a Facetime like no other; introducing you to his kink had been one of the best weekends of his life, and he was pretty sure - if he knows you as well as he thinks he does - you’d placed an order for two birthday cakes for his belated celebrations.

Maybe you’d got other stuff in mind, too - pie, custard, ice cream, syrups, chocolate, sushi, spaghetti, fruit…and now he was half-hard, still fully dressed and standing in the hallway.

Well, you weren’t here now, but it was his birthday, dammit! He would just have to play alone, and send you some photos afterwards.

Bakugou seized the box and made quick strides until he could place it down on his bedside table.

The comforter flew off of the bed, pooling into a lavish lump on the floor right before the pillows landed one by one on top. The undersheet was last, leaving the rubber sheet beneath exposed to one of the only two people who knew it was there in the first place.

The box made its final move to the middle of the protected mattress, where Bakugou tilted it just enough to be able to coax the cake free with help from gravity and without getting it all over his hands. Not yet…

Bakugou made short work of his clothes, kicking his pants and briefs off impatiently a second before climbing onto the bed and kneeling beside his prize.

Normally, he’d take his time, play around more, have more of a plan, but today, the anticipation had him on a knife edge already. It had been nearly four hours since he’d unwrapped this gift, and he was dying to play with it.

Bakugou leant his knees spread apart, sinking into a squat so he was as close as he could get to his treat.

He was fully hard now, and gave his cock a couple of quick pumps, letting his fist settle loosely from the base down as he took a deep breath and brought his leaking tip to the side of the cake.

His breath left him in a quick rush when the first contact was made; the cream was on the cooler side, and the smooth finish of the outside of the cake was everything he had been missing since he’d last indulged himself like this.

It took all the self control Bakugou had to only push the head in, then pause and take a breath, focusing intently on every sensation as he pushed in as slowly as was physically possible.

The afternoon of waiting felt like edging, so the sensation against his cock, inch by inch, was almost too much as it was not enough.

The sponge was almost as soft and velvety as the cream, but providing some texture and resistance that felt as delicious as the dessert looked.

Bakugou let out the first of many moans as he bottomed out, the air in the bedroom already beginning to smell like sugar and strawberries - just the right side of cloying, and he knew before long it would be so heady he’d be dizzy from it.

He pulled out almost as slowly as he went in, raising himself back up a little and bracing himself with his hands on the other side of the intact cake, leaving him looking over it on his hands and knees.

His reentry at a slightly higher point of the cake wasn’t quite as slow as the first breach, but he’s never been known for his patience.

Bakugou pulled in and out a couple of times, leaving a clear hole to fuck as he began to do just that, his hips begnining to thrust in a steady rhythm.

It didn’t take long for the squishy sounds coming from between his legs to turn into sloppy ones; the delicate cake was beginning to buckle already, the defined layers enveloping his cock becoming mushy around him.

Balancing his weight on one arm, he swiped his now-free hand across the top of the cake, coming away with as generous a handful of cream and strawberry slices as he could without threatening the structural integrity of the cake prematurely.

Bakugou raised his hand and smacked it right into the middle of his chest, before smearing it across his right pec, rubbing purposefully over his nipple as he did so. His hips sped up slightly without intention - or him noticing - as he alternated between smearing the food deeper into his flushed skin, and tugging on his nipple.

He could hear whimpering in his ears and it took a beat or two for Bakugou to realise they were coming from him. Fuck, it all just felt so good.

He blindly grabbed another small handful, this time coming away with some cake mixed into his spoils, before repeating the treatment on his left pec, but with a roughness borne of his increasing desperation.

“Fuck, fuck, shit, I-“ He hissed out a breath, pinching his nipple firmly as he felt the cake begin to collapse inwards, the squelch of the fucking he was giving it echoing in his ears.

A final scoop of the dessert onto his fingers went straight into his mouth, his plush, pink lips parting to accommodate three fingers; he was close.

Bakugou’s balance was starting to go as his orgasm approached, so he pulled his fingers free from his tongue and resumed his position, but beginning to sink lower into the mess he was fucking into his mattress protectors. From his angle, his balls began to slap what was left of the sides of the sinking cake, and the noise that created tore another moan from the blonde.

He could feel the sticky mess coating his crotch and inner thighs, closing his eyes as he lost himself in the feeling of indulging in the kink that turned him on like nothing else, wanting to savour something he knew was nearly over.

“Oh my fuck- ing, shit, oh, fuck-“

Bakugou’s hips were moving at a frantic pace now, chasing a release inside the cake while it still had an inside.

His orgasm had been teetering for a couple of minutes, then came all at once. A shout turned into a long, drawn out moan that was almost a cry, as he spilled his release in one, two, three bursts; biting his lip so hard, he’d discover later he’d drawn blood.

His arms gave out before he’d come back to himself, his lower half landing into the gooey puddle of expensive baking with a splat that would almost have been enough to get him half hard again if his soul hadn’t just shot out of his dick into a cake.

The blonde let out a deep, satisfied sigh, smiling dopily into the shiny, specialist bedsheet. Happy birthday to me, indeed.

Bakugou had only just had the energy to raise himself back onto his hands and knees when he had to find a little more to turn his head towards the door at the sound of it creaking open.

“Awh, did someone get you a birthday cake, babe?”

He nodded. You were back early.

You dropped your duffel on the floor, taking your first step towards the bed as you slid your shirt off with ease.

“Ooh, good - you saved some for me! I’m starving…”

Magnum PI 3.13 - Cry Murder review

I’m not sure I need to say something about this episode. I mean you all saw it. It was just good. Frankly all of season 3 serves a ‘Atta girl’. You're going above and beyond. And this episode... pure gold!

Seriously I had to think for like 5 minutes for something to put on my 'like less' points because this was fantastic (and that one thing was ‘where my Ferrari? I luv Ferrari, me wanna see rarrri’ uhm yeah, my brain is part fluffy baby mush currently, you have been warned this review might be a tad bit off)! 

Every moment was on point. We got 2 adorable story-lines and a good case. 

Because it’s the least exciting and I’m feeling contrary, let’s talk about the case first. Because this could the start of a beautiful and lucrative friendship...

You see some insurance companies have “recovery specialists” inhouse and some hire PIs for bigger claims / stolen stuff / prove their clients are lying. Insurance companies, as mentioned on the show, also have money. Like lots. (Trust me, I worked as a temp at an insurance company and the money they throw around is ridiculous.)

If the show was smart they could have this lady be regularly brining them cases to do with weird insurance stuff. It could make for some pretty interesting conflict further down the line too because they’re helping the fat cats suddenly rather than the underdogs.

(I’d also like to point out that they actually stopped/ revealed a planed insurance fraud so they should still get paid a chunk for that, different firms have different policies but they should get more than their daily rate + expenses. Just saying.)

Also I want more of the cute insurance chick looking at Magnum all 'he’s fine' and Higgy not liking it. Seriously, if Ethan is going to stick around into season 4 Magnum needs a faux love interest too. 

#wearenotpleased

Even though this episode wasn’t very case focused, what we got was fun and a little twisty and just a good backdrop for the rest of the stuff. Of course they had to throw in a murder but still PI appropriate. I wish they’d do more smaller cases where no one dies or a million dollars is missing (more kind of Burn Notice inspired) where maybe the cops can’t help because the case isn’t ‘serious enough’ but is still ruining the person’s life.

Next up is Magnum getting his finger stuck in the mouse trap, telling Higgy about his pet mouse and then at the ends Juliet giving Magnum a mouse! Roberto the II! Does it get more adorable? IDK.

I love how Higgy is trying. She’s not quite sure how to express herself or how do thing always because she’s so out of practice and probably never had to before (quite the Magnum makes her want to) but she really cares so much even though she’s piss poor at expressing it sometimes. 

Them talking about wanting kids themselves was just... come on! Don’t make me want babies ever after for these two anymore than I already do!  Also two instances of Magnum/Higgy being mistaken for a couple and this lady thinking the baby is theirs? If season 7 don’t end with these idiots married and expecting a baby I will seriously strangle someone. 

 Other golden nuggets in this episode

Juliet singing and playing peekaboo on the phone.

Hiapo’s mom being “they seem like a really nice couple”

(”Not a couple?” #shook.)

TC + Rick being the cutest with the baby! Rick making a baby carrier thing from a backpack? It was just so perfect! As good as shopping cart for a stroller! 

Magnum and Juliet actually being out of breath after running (!!) 

(because authentic! But must have been totally weird to film because how do you fake being out of breath? Run a block before each shoot?)

and the heart-eyes. So many heart-eye moments this episode.

The whole gang saying they want to keep being part of Hiapo's life and then more heart-eyes! 

I really do hope we get to see Hiapo in the next season, even just for a minute. Same with Roberto the Mouse. But they have been a lot better with continuity and bringing things back so maybe!

Yeah. This was possibly one of my favorite episodes of late. It was also on my wish list for season 3 (a baby/kid episode)!

Only minus I got for today is the fact that title is a little lackluster and I missed the Ferrari (but the Porsche is nice too!). I'd love to have a scene of Magnum trying to put the baby seat in the Ferrari and Higgy being all. "That's not going to work." (fic idea...)

Also next week promo is kind of vague and the summary (“A psychic hires Magnum and Higgins to prevent a murder she claims to have foreseen... ....and Higgins struggles with whether or not to tell Ethan the truth about her past”) makes me think we’ll get at scene or two with Ethan but let’s pray we’ll get mostly our faves bickering about psychics, how predicting the future is impossible and them talking about whether she should or not tell Ethan about her spy life! 

I wonder if she really will, because next week is the second to last of the episode (OMG only 2 more episodes of Magnum this season? How will I survive?). If she is supposed to ride off into the sunset with Ethan (or start to and then change her mind?) they can’t really have him be all that upset about it? Not that I think he would but maybe it would throw him for a bit of a curve ball since I figure Richard would be one of the things she told him about... 

Also wondering how it will come up? I’m picturing them walking along a dark street after a nice dinner and a guy tries to rob them (at gun point) and Higgy does a ninja move and takes his gun and is all “run along now before I shoot you” while Ethan does a Surprised Pikachu face. Then Magnum calls with a case and she’s like “Um, gotta go, we’ll talk about this later alright?” #IGotMyPrioritiesStraight

Last thing, bummer about the MacGyver cancelation. Selfishly (because while I like MacGyver, Magnum is my baby) I’m thinking this ups the odds of Magnum getting season 4 (and it does look kind of hopeful from what I was seeing on insta/twitter from someone higher ups, right?) I still signed the petition for season 6 for MacGyver because they deserve at least a last half season to wrap it up nicely!

Pokemon Designs I don’t like. Part 4.

Gen 4.

Oh boy, now we are entering dangerous territory. This is the Gen that made me lose faith in the franchise because of the new Pokemon designs. There are a lot of good ideas, but it looks like Game Freak was in a hurry because many of these designs could look better. I might have to split this into two.

As always, some dishonorable mentions.

Chimchar.

This is more on a personally level, I just find Chimpanzees creepy, and this cutesy design doesn’t change that. Design-wise, it’s okay, but I think they’re just pushing it with the flame tail since they already did that with the Charmander line. And the shadow it has on it’s eyes, is that mascara? Seems unnecessary.

Shinx evolution line.

Shinx has always look like a colorful mess to me, I like that it’s based on a lynx, but the cyan and yellow combo clashes a little, and the red nose doesn’t help either. Also, those stripes on their legs look like stockings. I’ll give the star tail a pass. 

Carnivine.

Its eyes. It could look somewhat decent if it didn’t have slowpoke eyes, or no eyes at all, like a piranha plant.

Always liked these guys.

Gallade.

I like its design and I’m glad male Gardevoirs have an alternative evolution, even though the shiny rock seems a little unfair, but my only problem here is that weird bump in its hips. Looks like he swallowed a watermelon whole.

Now, on with the list.

1. Monferno.

And I thought Chimchar looked bad, Monferno makes it even worse.

The blue and red face paint might hint that it is based on a mandrill, but it’s not well done because the blue disappears as soon as it evolves, so what was even the point? The Charmander tail makes it look like a bootleg fire starter. And there is not much of a difference from Chimchar, it just passes from a chimp to a monkey (Or mandrill).

3/10.

2. Starly evolutions.

Frankly, I’ve seen more creative bird designs. Starly is cute, but its evolutions could be a little more creative. The Taillow and Swellow from Gen 3 started a new trend of “Regional Birds”, but these designs are just boring. Staravia looks like a slightly bigger Starly and Staraptor came out of nowhere with an emo haircut.

4/10.

3. Bibarel.

Speaking of boring designs, Bidoof’s evolution is not much of a change, it has those silly eyes that just don’t work for me.

I was considering adding Bidoof to this list, but it is actually a little cute. Besides, not every day can you see the absolute perfection that is shiny Bidoof!

All hail Peanut Butter!

3/10

Perfect Bidoof: 100/100

4. Kricketune.

Kricketot is cute and has potential, I like the idea, but they ruined it with Kricketune. Its design is a combination of a cello and a cricket, but why does it have that mustache? They had a good thing going on but they found a way to ruin it, it’s just bad.

2/10.

5. Cranidos and Rampardos.

This idea could’ve work as a stand alone Pokemon if they just made a combination of these two designs. They’re based on the Pachycephalosaurus, also known as that weird skull bashing dinosaur. The evolution form is unnecessary, it’s like giving Aerodactyl a baby form just because. I feel they could’ve give Rampardos a better looking design, one that doesn’t look fat in the anime.

It could loose a few pounds.

6/10.

6. Bastiodon.

Shieldon is adorable, but then they ruined it with the evolution. Bastiodon looks like it crashed head first into a dump truck and got it stuck on its face. I know what they were going for here, but it just looks ugly and dumb. How does the poor thing even eat? Maybe that’s why it went extinct.

7. Burmy.

It’s a bagworm.

I thought they already played with that concept in gen 2 when they made Pineco, but there’s just nothing special about Burmy. Without the leaves, or whatever the female finds to cover its body, it’s just a generic worm.

1/10.

8. Pachirisu.

A sad attempt to make a Pikachu squirrel. Cute, but not enough, it reuses the idea of Pikachu’s electric cheeks we’ve seen in the past 3 gens, worst part is that they’re yellow which makes them stand out. It’s really obvious that they were trying to make a new kind of Pika clone, but it just doesn’t work. Maybe NOT making it an electric type would’ve been better.

4/10.

9. Floatzel.

Look at that smug on its face, it thinks it’s better than Buizel, but it’s not! Buizel has an interesting design, but this guy is a fatter Buizel with a life preserver, not very new.

5/10.

10. Ambipom.

AHHHHHHHHH! AIPOM, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!

It looks like somebody threw this monkey in a barrel full of radioactive wastes! 

I hate everything about this thing! That nose that makes it seem like its face got melted, that bowl cut with two popping hairs that looks stupid, those red tips on its hands. WHY?!

I’m glad they got rid of it in the anime because I can never stand to look at it for more than a second.

Gonna have to make a break here, there are still a lot of horrible designs in gen 4.

Yugioh S3 Ep 19: Seto and Mokuba are Turned Into Inanimate Objects...Again

Last we left off on the world’s most awkward family reunion, Moki was being used to take advantage of Seto again, which happens at least 2 times a season.

What’s kind of wild about this, is that everyone jumps to the conclusion that Seto is absolutely going to murder his little brother. Seto. The guy who 2 seasons ago was willing to absolutely jump off a ledge for his little brother.

And then suddenly, Duke makes his feelings known about just life in general at this point.

Duke in the background just spiraling deeper and deeper into his IDGAF apathy. And to be honest, Duke might not be fully aware of who Mokuba even is. It’s not like they’ve ever had a conversation, other than maybe “ah, you work for Pegasus, he locked me in a tower for weeks and then killed me by turning me into a little paper card and then tried to seize control of my company. Nice. Nice that he isn’t in jail.”

In fact, since Duke does work with Pegasus who probably is still doing his best to compete with/work with the Kaiba business...Duke actually has a lot to gain, business wise, by killing Mokuba. Like, I’m pretty sure Duke isn’t a mole but he could be. He has...a lot of motive, actually.

If bro hadn’t straight up told me that Duke isn’t a mole like I suspected, than I’d still be waiting for that other shoe to drop. But it won’t. A shame.

Anyways this shows up:

All I’m saying is that a black hole is an astronomical region in space and a dark hole is very often a butthole, but youknow...maybe that’s just a very particular English language thing that no one will ever teach you from a textbook and it just didn’t quite get translated over correctly. But yeah, in my eye, Noah's just up there holding up a sphincter. It’s very fitting, he is an asshole. Congrats, Noah Kaiba, you’ve found your card.

Meanwhile, Yugi is doing his very best to try and backseat, even if Kaiba instinctively slaps it out of his hands at every opportunity.

So I figured that he’d mention that both of these boys carry these card lockets around their necks with a little picture of the other brother inside--a little thing they carry for no other reason than to remember eachother. Which makes sense, because Kaiba forgets things SO OFTEN. The necklace around their necks is almost like those bracelets you wear to let police and medics know if you’re prone to narcolepsy--it even has a nice picture inside to indicate “please return this boy to this pictured person in case you find him wandering about completely lost.”

I kinda figured that necklace would be used at some point but nah, we’re gonna talk about cards. Which is fine, because we get to see this good drawing Mokuba made once.

Which, PS, it was sort of hard to pick up on the first time Kaiba talked about this period of his life, but this time when he talked about this incident it like...left quite a bit highly implied there by what Seto meant when he said Mokuba “saved me.” It’s some pretty heavy stuff that kind of gets blown over by the massive magic dragon that shows up in the next scene and then just flies Mokuba, who is wearing very cute fuzzy socks, up into the sky and into the moon like ET.

Nowadays they do this by hanging off of Helicopters, but flying on dangerous things to escape their horrible childhood has been their Fantasy for a very long time. These kids and their obsession with heights and dangerous ledges.

And apparently it was this moment in his youth that Seto decided he wanted to be “worthy enough to hold a Blue Eyes.” And like...I remember S1 Seto. That was the worthy Seto?

I guess “worthy enough” doesn’t really imply any sort of moral code, just if you have enough money and can like play cards pretty OK.

Anyways, it was a lot of new stuff applied to this card that I just only recently accepted as a GF and so it was like “All right show, I see what you’re doing, I guess we’re going to walk slowly out of the paper romance realm and into...some sort of card-honor brother realm.”

So, using the Blue Eyes, Kaiba destroys a bunch of Gradius ships, which Noah was like “These Gradius ships represent our Father’s company!” in case you’re a child and didn’t see the symbolism. And, along the way, he destroys what he thinks is Noah’s Game Master card but like...it’s this show, so apparently inside the Boat was another dude and the game is going to keep on going, fml.

Ah buckle up this...this is going to be a long one. This is going to be a lot more cards, huh?

Anyway, when I saw this card that is clearly based on a couple of Gods I was like “so um...isn’t that a...God card?” so I looked it up, also because it was BS and I was frustrated that it was even here after the boat thing ended, and this card is a...get this...a Fairy card.

Cuz it has wings? Like a Seraphim? Everything about this looks like a conglomeration of different Gods but--I guess since God Cards can only have the 4 God Cards, this is a...Fairy card. Interesting. That is a huge ass Fairy. Yugioh biology really eludes me.

Anyway, First thing Noah does as a fairy is destroy his younger brother who is also older than him, don’tthinkaboutit. He’s again sporting the poorly photoshopped glowing romper that the dub gave us in order to spare us.

Hey!

Question!

So when Noah’s wearing the game Master outfit, he’s ass naked underneath--but the Big 5 weren’t? Like wouldn’t the Big 5 have had the same issue of Noah here where they have no body, so whatever they’re wearing is just whatever they’re in?

Meaning that when they were all shoved in Tristan’s body wouldn’t they have just been 5 naked fat old guys hanging out like a European sauna? 

Or is this just Noah’s preference? To be ass naked when no one’s looking? Because he’s been here all alone for 6 years, so why the hell not? Like, no one cares. No one’s looking. You can’t get splinters or whatever. Just let it all hang loose, man, it’s not even a real body. 

Like, if you look closely, Noah only has ... one outfit he’s had here for 6 years. I’ve noticed this maybe more than most because...it’s not a great outfit. He had that same suit and shorts combo right after he woke up and got out of his jammies from the accident all those years ago. He also wore a space suit once, but that was a Birthday present from Dad and I haven't seen the suit since.

Did Noah recognize that People Are Coming and was like “oh dammit, dammit, I have to cover the goods” and just throw on literally the only thing in his closet? The office shorts combo from 6 years ago? Is that why? Is that the big secret of the baby boy suit shorts? That he, in reality, never really wears them?

Questions about nudity aside, out of freakin no where Noah just turns the Kaibas into this:

Noah spent like 20 episodes saying no one is ever allowed to cheat and then just flippin does this and is like “What? It’s almost legal enough.”

I mean, it’s not like there’s any official rules for Duel Monsters anyway but apparently you can just turn each other into statuary and it’s like...fine. That’s fine.

Also, fun fact, about Yugioh statues, they come with eyeliner built in.

So much dedication to the guyliner in this show, mad respect.

And yes, I have sort of thought that Moki’s been sporting a teeny tiny Adam Lambert line this whole time. Like most our cast, honestly. But not Joey. I feel like Joey would never have the patience to learn how to waterline.

I mean the Kaiba’s are essentially brain dead, yes? Their brain functions have been removed and uploaded to the cloud to never be downloaded back into their vegetable bodies? That counts enough for me.

Seto Kaiba just 2 corpses away from 169ing the Hell out of that death scene. A shame.

Bro was like “well at least this crying statue stuff is more like something that normally happens in a kid’s show.” and I was like “THIS? So this ever happened in Pokemon?” and bro was like “It did actually, Ash Ketchum was turned into stone and then cried as a rock statue, and then Pikachu hugged him to make him all better” And as you may be aware my bro is full of spicy headcanons so I’m not sure if that’s actually true but it was like

“Bro, was Ash Ketchum ever turned to stone because his abusive Father’s secret son, who has been turned into an evil computer, wants to kill his brother and then take over his body to run the Patriots from Metal Gear? That happened on Pokemon?” And Bro admitted “Ok, maybe not so much.”

Anyway, Pharaoh awakens to put a stop to this nonsense by bringing up the long list of things that Noah did just now that is absolutely cheating.

Anyway, this is Noah now.

He’s just this...huge 100 story tall person with very bored judgy eyes just floating in the sky with vaguely religious iconography going on and bunch of wings like that one character design that we all have in our portfolio. Yeah, you know the one. It’s this guy. We’ve all drawn this guy. Anyway, it’s going to be very hard to take him seriously when this guy has Noah’s voice.

Again, he is not, he is ass naked in there, though the dub did try and cover it up.

Anyway, next episode we get to basically start this entire duel over.

That’s nice. That’s nice of them to do to me. At least these kids finally got a chance to do some duel prep for the actual tourney they’re supposed to be doing later this season. Yeah. Remember that apocalypse? That’s still going on somehow. Maybe by the time they’ll get to it, most of the competitors will be dead?

Here’s a link to read the recaps in order from S1 Ep1

[wtfzodiacsigns]

LOVER BOYS

*sun, venus & mars*

ARIES The Angel. Sometimes, when you look at him, he bites his lip the way he does when he’s concentrating real hard, and your whole heart just sighs. And he just makes you feel, it. Like when he comes home from the studio with tired eyes and a big fat check, he grabs you so tight, and he tells you you’re fucking beautiful, that you’re his girl and that he’s gonna take care of you. Everything else fades away, and the only thing left is his lips on your neck and the sound of crashing waves from the balcony.

TAURUS The Vampire. You never see him when it’s light out, but somehow his Instagram story is always filled with juicy ass brunches. Tatted to hell and back, spends his evenings making Soundcloud beats and he has those glazed eyes making you wonder if he’s ever completely sober. You never knew he felt that way about you. Until tonight. Maybe you’ve never noticed it, or maybe he’s just good. Doesn’t matter now, because all you wanna do is kiss him from his abs to his neck, all the way up to where his tattoo peeks out from his shirt.

GEMINI The House of Mirrors. The one that puts your heart in the dryer. Seems to have fast paced life full of people that adore him. His sneakers are a holy entity. His entire aura is clouded with the illusion of a constant hustle, but when you get close to him you realize he never actually does anything. Has this trick of kissing you instead of answering questions, but it doesn’t matter because after about a month you get tired of keeping up with his numerous different aesthetic alter egos and bail.

CANCER The Firework. A surfer boy body with sun touched curls keeps staring at you from across the bar. Suddenly your face isn’t just red from working all night. He asks you when you get off, your boss leans over and says “She gets off right now.” After pretending to be offended for about three seconds you quickly take off your apron and enter that magical bubble. His voice is like caramel, his eyes look like they swallowed an entire ocean, you stare at him as his lips keep moving. The sparkle fades, melancholy sets in, and you think to yourself what a waste of a vessel for a man who wants you to be his second mother.

LEO The Nice Guy. Has told everyone but you that he’s into you. That easy confidence he oozes draws you in, but when you finally confront him about liking you he suddenly shrinks in size. Brings you flowers just because. Tries to convince everyone and himself that he is driven by logic, but actually he’s just scared shitless of irrational emotions so he tries to ignore them. Usually ends up with a full blown meltdown you have to diffuse by explaining his feelings to him. He’s a sweetheart though with good intentions, even though his emotional intelligence will never pass that of a high school boy.  

VIRGO The Puppy Love. The one who’s had a crush on you since forever, the one who has always been around. You kissed once in the 6th grade, and now you’re wondering what he’s learned these last few years. He’s grown but there is still that aura of innocence around him. And then he starts dating one of your best friends, makes parties uncomfortable for about a year until he breaks up with her, gets mad at you for dancing with another guy and then drunkenly recites a poem about wanting to get in your panties on Easter Sunday. God bless.

LIBRA The Tender Hearted. Takes you out for sushi on your first date. Shyly asks if he can hold your hand, waits until you are at your front door to kiss you. And he kisses so softly. Doesn’t wanna come in because he “doesn’t wanna rush things”. Texts you memes all day the morning after, your heart melts because he’s such a dork. The next night you go to the movie theatre, he plays with your fingers and lets you steal his popcorn. And you realize you’re not really watching the movie, but focusing on trying to slow down your heartbeat. That night he’s so gentle, too gentle. And after you’re not sure how you feel about him anymore. A week later he’s only texted you once and you answered a day later, and then you hear he’s talking to some girl in his history class and didn’t think to break it off because he thought it was implied. Sure was bro.

SCORPIO The Forbidden Fruit. The one who shall not be named, the one you keep a ten meter distance of every time you are in the same place. Keeps his molly in a PEZ dispenser. Smells too damn fucking good. And that’s how you knew you were in trouble. You turn around and he’s behind you, looking at you like that. He doesn’t need anything more than a ‘hi’. You remind yourself you don’t wanna be one of his girls while his husky voice asks you what you’ve been up to. The party is so loud and he’s too close. It happens. It’s as good as you imagined it to be, but afterwards you pretend not to want him. Because him not wanting you would be too painful.

SAGITTARIUS The Young Daddy. The one who always tells you your man’s not good enough for you. Picks you up in three different cars in one week. All mommy and daddys of course. Hypnotizing brown puppy eyes. And that vein on his bicep after boxing practice. Driving through the hills, the view of the city from here is breathtaking. You feel so strange, like this isn’t reality, the leather seat of his Audi is so warm. Then you look at him, and he is so warm. And suddenly, you know there is nothing you can do to stop this.

CAPRICORN The Burnout. Crazy talented but no ambition. Justifies his bad habits with some fake deep motto, but in reality is just scared of his own potential. Makes you feel calm, like you can be yourself and he won’t judge you. One night he asks you if you wanna try some weed, and now every time you hang out you seem to be high. His bedroom is a like a little cocoon. It’s 4 am, and you’re having a staring contest with his Pikachu poster and a pile of laundry his mum folded for him, and in that moment you realize, you need get the fuck out of there.

AQUARIUS The Stranger. He’s the one, that when you see him, your entire being just screams internally. He’s not exactly shy, more reserved. To quote Alyssa from The End of the Fucking World, “Sometimes I look at him and I think, are you a bit dead?” Always so polite, from the old lady at the coffee shop to the little girl who ran him down as he was walking you home. His face is beaming, but his eyes are always a bit empty. Like you can’t see anything behind them. You find it hard to care because his face is so gorgeous, so you keep making him laugh just to see them sparkle for a moment.

PISCES The Hot Mess. Can’t help the way you feel when he looks at you. He knows you’re working tonight so he comes and sits in the corner booth with his friends. And just looks at you. So evanescent, just floats in and out of your life. Blames his attitude on his ex girlfriend. And yet you can’t help it when he calls at 2 am. You come sit in his lap while a party rages on behind the closed door, and tell him, “No, but someday.” He takes his hands of your thighs and softly places them around your hips, “Why not today?” his breath is hot on your neck, and the next few moments flash before your eyes. “Because I want you to remember it.”

Game of Thrones Rewatch 2.07

1. Theon, thinking with your penis always gets you in trouble. And I don’t even mean that ironically.

2. It’s so funny looking at these actors like HEY, you were in Merlin!

3. “Enjoying your first hunt?” “So far hunting seems very similar to riding, my lord.” LOL I never before appreciated Maester Lewin’s lowkey shadiness. Dude is shady AF.

4. “If I find them soon enough I won’t hurt them ... ... well I’ll hurt them but I won’t kill them!” Such a fair ruler, Theon.

5. How cold it must’ve been filming these North of the Wall scenes.

6. “Do you have sheep at the wall?” HAHAHA I never caught that line before.

7. Lol Jon was an idiot for thinking that Ygritte wouldn’t lead him to her people.

8. The actor who plays The Mountain changed, right?

9. “I can’t say I’ve ever met a literate stonemason.” “Have you met many stonemasons, my Lord?” “Careful now, girl. I enjoy you but be careful.” It’s a valid point, Tywin.

10. Ugh, Daenerys.

11. I skipped her part.

12. “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” AYYYYYYYYYYE.

13. “Is there room for Ser Alton?” “Does he need to lie down?” LOL so aggressively passive agressive.

14. Robb, you’ve spoken to her TWO TIMES.

15. I watch their scenes like I wish I could stop it all. They have nice gazes though.

16. “I’m looking at spending the rest of my life being treated like a fool and eunuch by my own people!” Ha, that bit of foreshadowing.

17. Oh, Daenerys again.

18. Actually this is the most rational she’s been.

19.  LOL I feel like there are moments between Jon and Ygritte where you can see Rose and Kit shining through like when Jon is trying not to laugh when Ygritte is going on about lying to the Night’s Watch about them having sex, it feels like Kit.

20. LMAO Jon’s face at seeing all the Wildings is legit the Pikachu meme.

21. Aw, Shae threatening handmaidens with knives to keep Sansa safe. I was so mad when the Hound ends up finding out anyway.

22. “Joffrey’s always been difficult.” Understatement of the fucking century, Cersei.

23. “Love no one but your children.” Cersei and Sansa scenes are so underrated.

24. “No no, there’s only one fat Lannister and if she was your mother you’d know.” Everyone is just so rude.

25. Oh Alton, Jaime kills you.

26. “Don’t touch me, woman!” “Don’t enter without an invitation, MAN.” LOL YES Brienne.

27. “And GAG him.”

28. Tyrion and Cersei’s attempt at a heart to heart is actually pretty touching.

29. “Who wants to die defending a Lannister?” Good question.

30. “Is that a woman??” Jaime and Brienne’s first interaction.

31. I think part of the reason why I prefer caustic and sardonic Jaime is because his bluntness was also shrewd and honest. He was just a dick about it.

32. Oh, Theon. Was it really worth it?

Do I Wanna Know?

so ever since I got this ask my brain has been screaming ‘triplet shenanigans’ but actually, how about a super wacky off the wall sci-fi canon-bend where Aubrey and Stacie go out for dinner in the city and when they come back, all the remaining Bellas have been turned into 3 year olds. 

I wouldn’t even know how or why but literal definition of the word SHENANIGANS. 

Beca, sulky and moody and averse to Aubrey’s authority, constantly doing the exact opposite of what is being asked of her. 

Beca tries to resist time-out after she kicks over the makeshift dinner table for the kids and sends food flying everywhere, and she tries to run away but she’s 3 and tiny and Aubrey easily wraps an arm around her middle and hoists her out of the room towards her bedroom to put her in time-out. “You can come out when you’re ready to apologise,” Aubrey says in a fair but firm voice and Beca just yells back “NEVER!” but then 30 minutes later (and Aubrey owes Stacie money because she’d bet that it would take at least an hour), Beca makes her way downstairs and stands in front of where Aubrey and Stacie are sitting on the couch, her hands clasped in front of her body and eyes downcast, and says “I’m sorry. Can I please come back?” and she crawls onto the couch next to Stacie when they nod. 

Chloe, happy, upbeat, and energetic, a nightmare to get to sleep at night. 

“Chloe, bedtime!” Stacie calls out and the girl turns to her with the most amazing pout Stacie has ever seen in her life, bright blue eyes shining as she puts on a sad puppy dog look that seems more powerful than its adult counterpart. “No negotiation, everybody’s already in bed,” Stacie says firmly and Chloe looks even more devastated as she packs up her tea set and lets Stacie lead her up the stairs. They have to read her five bedtime stories and sing her to sleep and even then, Chloe’s still wide awake an hour later, practically bouncing off the wall and Stacie wants to cry because she wants to sleep so she just curls up in bed with Chloe and holds the girl until they’re both fast asleep. 

Amy, loud, boisterous, energy of a thousand suns, surprisingly not a handful. 

Aubrey figures out pretty quickly that the trick to keeping Amy from absolutely wrecking the house is to give her constant, changing attention and/or things to do. Aubrey keeps Amy by her side all day, doesn’t dare take her eyes off the girl for one second and she cheats by keeping Amy busy by handing over her iPad and letting her go wild on all the games. She messes up one day when Stacie, in a fit of madness, pulls her into the hallcloset “for five minutes of rest and us-time” and when they emerge, Beca is stuck upside down against the wall with duct tape and the perpetrators are nowhere to be found and Beca is screaming bloody murder. 

“Patricia!” Aubrey calls out loudly and the girl is almost shaking as she stands in front of Aubrey. “Did you have anything to do with this?” Aubrey asks, voice giving no room for jokes or lying and Amy nods once while looking at the floor. “No more screentime for you for the rest of the day,” Aubrey says and she looks ready to protest the punishment when Aubrey adds, “I can easily make that a week.”

“Yes ma’am.” 

Cynthia Rose, oddly quiet toddler who enjoys helping out. Stacie gives her tasks to do around the house and she happily does them, singing softly to herself as she picks up toys or helps Aubrey crack eggs for breakfast. Usually the instigator of improptu Bellas dance sessions. 

Lilly, absolute terror: “Lilly, put that knife down right now!” “Lilly don’t you dare poke that wall socket!” “WHERE is Lilly?” “WHY IS LILLY HANGING FROM THE LIGHT FIXTURE?!” Just fuckin… does her own thing man, you can’t control her. Aubrey and Stacie give up around day 4 and make a pact with Lilly that she only has to bathe once a day and sleep for a minimum of 10 hours and eat 3 meals of which one has vegetables and she agrees and they leave her be. 

Flo, just, non-stop Spanish. They can’t figure out a word she says, nothing makes sense, just a wall of words completely in Spanish. Stacie tries to use Google Translate, but Flo is 3 years old so her language doesn’t make sense. Help. 

Ashley and Jessica, inseparable. Holding each other 24/7 as they try to figure out the big scary world and the insanity of the rest of the Bellas. Actually, really great kids. Stacie just has to put on a soft voice and crouch down to their level when asking something and they nod and do it. Easily entertained with crayons and juice pouches. 

On the 5th day, the wrangle the kids into the car and take them to a playground and let them loose on the world and Aubrey and Stacie have their first moment of peace and they slump against each other on the bench, Aubrey’s eyes already sliding close with exhaustion as Stacie takes a deep breath. 

A few hours later, previously hungry and chanting kids quieted down by Aubrey caving in and buying McDonald’s, they’re urging them into the house, breaking up a growling session between Amy and Beca over a tiny Pikachu toy, Flo perched on Aubrey’s hip and half asleep with her arms looped around Aubrey’s neck, Stacie holding onto Ashley and Jessica and Lilly and Cynthia Rose trailing them, chattering over their Happy Meal toys. 

There’s a knock on the door literally a second after Stacie closes it behind them and she does a quick headcount to make sure they have all the kids as Aubrey ushers them into the living room. She opens the front door and the first thing she sees in an FBI badge. 

“We hear you have a couple of adult 3 year olds,” the agent says and Stacie closes the door behind her as she steps out onto the porch and talks to the Special Agents. 

They give her a small bottle and instruct her to give each child a teaspoon and tells her that they’ll wake up in the morning back to their original form without any recollection of the events and Stacie’s wary until the short, redhead woman hands her a folder with medical information. 

She bids them goodbye, watches as the two bicker all the way to the car, smiling when the tall, brown-haired man bumps his head against the roof of the car getting in and the short woman laughs at him before handing him a bag of sunflower seeds. 

Stacie skims the medical dossier and while she’s still hesitant, they can’t exactly leave the Bellas in toddler form so she goes inside and before she can even tell Aubrey who was at the door, she hears Beca angrily stomp up the stairs, Aubrey still holding onto Flo while she consoles a crying Jessica and Aubrey torns to her and mutters “Murder me, please” and Stacie laughs and makes the decision. 

Ashley, Jessica, Cynthia Rose and Flo happily take the teaspoon of medicine, with a happy “it tastes like bubblegum!” from Jessica. Aubrey adds a teaspoon to Chloe’s nightly warm milk, and Amy tries to refuse on principle but Aubrey threatens to make her share a room with Lilly and she instantly opens her mouth. “Beca if you drink this I’ll let you kick anything you want for ten minutes tomorrow,” Stacie offers and Beca looks hesitant but she accepts the medicine. They don’t even try to trick Lilly into drinking it. 

Bedtime routines done, Aubrey crawls into bed next to Stacie, eyes already half closed and they curl up together, Stacie wrapping an arm around her and tucking Aubrey in close to her. 

“This better work,” Aubrey mumbles. 

“I hope so too,” Stacie murmurs and then they’re both fast asleep. 

They sleep in the next day and Aubrey wakes up well-rested and she shoots up when she glances at the clock and it says that it’s past 10am. 

“They’re either all dead or adults again,” Stacie mumbles when Stacie wakes her up. 

They get dressed and go downstairs, find Chloe, Flo and Cynthia Rose watching a movie on the couch and Beca, Fat Amy and Jessica sat at the kitchen bar while Ashley whips up breakfast, Lilly nowhere to be found. 

All back in their adult bodies. 

“Hey, morning sleepyheads!” Flo says and Stacie frowns, confused by why she feels so sad all of a sudden. 

“Breakfast?” Ashley offers, pointing to a plate of pancakes. 

“She even made one with apples the way you like,” Jessica says, and then frowns, mutters to herself, “How do I know that?”

It’s weird to hang out with the regular Bellas again and Aubrey doesn’t have to say anything for Stacie to know that she agrees. 

Lilly comes down later that afternoon and Aubrey and Stacie exchange a glance because they could swear she seems a few inches taller than before and when Stacie rifles through the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, she finds the small bottle of liquid completely empty. 

send me a made-up fic title and i’ll tell you what i would write to go with it

[ephemelody]

Sharp scissors, clementine, assam tea, and invisible monster!

Sharp scissors: Five objects that would give someone a glimpse into your life?

1) My piano. I’ve been playing since I was… 5 or 6? It’s one of the only things I can say I was actually really good at. I gave it up once I started college, and that’s something I regret, but I can’t bring myself to start again either. There’s both hurtful memories and triumphant memories attached to it. 

2) My MCAT books sitting beneath my bed. I gave up that path, but I told myself that I won’t toss them away until I succeed at becoming a published author, because that’s what I gave up being a doctor for. The hope is that someday, I’ll replace those medical books with books of my own. 

3) My stuffed snowman by my pillow. It’s one of the oldest plushies I have, and in general I love collecting cute objects that are super soft and squish lol. I have a bunch of stuffed animals on my bed and no I don’t think that’s childish I’ll keep my damn fat Pikachu till my dying breath lmao. 

4) My bullet journal that I kept for a year. It was one of the better years, with lots of adventures. 

5) My laptop. All my writing is on it. I would probably perish instantly if anything ever happened to it lol. 

Clementine: Ideal breakfast?

Avocado toast and lots and lots of fresh fruit. Can’t go wrong. 

Assam tea: How do you treat yourself on a day off?

I write as much as I can, read as much as I can, or escape to the mountains! Currently planning a skiing trip with a friend. 

Invisible monster: Messed up things that fascinate you, if any?

I work in the lab of a hospital right now and every time they send organ specimens down from surgery I love looking at them, whether it’s an appendix or a kidney or someone’s entire ear. I know it’s morbid but the human body is pretty crazy and complex and when I look at the body parts I wonder what happened in that person’s life.

23 Things I Learned at 23.

Ang tanda ko na. Marami-rami na rin akong natutunan. Here are most of them. Since 23 na ko, 23 lang muna. The juiciest of all virtues. Para may clue na rin kayo kung paano tumatakbo mga paniniwala ko at kung bakit nila ako tinatakbuhan.

1. Live and let God.

Everything must be done in accordance to His will. It really doesn’t matter kung gaano kadali or kalala yung nae-experience mo, basta, any struggle must be done with Him. Faith is key. Being good and obedient alone doesn’t necessarily put you in good terms, dapat may faith pa din. Believe that everything is in accordance to His plans. Know Him, accept Him and everything will fall into place. (Matthew 6:33)

2. Love your parents.

They’ve known you and loved you after God. Every struggle they did, they did it out of love. They’ve supported, provided and protected you all your life. Make them proud. Love them more than any human in this world. Be successful and validate their hardships. Be the son/daughter they want you to be. Don’t be secretive on them, tell them everything. Sila at sila rin ang matatakbuhan natin kapag feeling natin tinakwil na tayo ng mundo. Magulang natin sila, matatanggap nila kung ano man ang sabihin natin.

3. Love yourself.

-   Well, after God and your parents, you have to love yourself the most. Your beauty and your flaws. Your past and your present. Spoil yourself of the sweeter things. Take care of yourself. Be fit or be fat. Be trendy or be weird. Basta, be you. Accept yourself. Don’t mind the criticism because you are unique in your own way. Be YOU.

4. Do what you love.

-   Make your passion your job. I’ve learned this a little bit too late in life. Dapat yung nakikita mo sa future mo na ginagawa mo is something you love to do para enjoy lang while making a living. Mahirap malaman kung ano talaga ang gusto mo kasi you are a person that is able. Hindi mo lang alam pero kaya mo gawin almost anything, if you put your mind and interest into it. Dapat ginagawa mo yung activities out of passion and love. You have to do it for the benefit of yourself and your plans in life.

5. Be open in learning new stuff.

-   A human is born curious. You are able to retain knowledge even if you tend to forget stuff. Nandun lang siya, hindi mo lang maalala. Pero new stuff is always good. There’s this feeling of excitement in every new thing you encounter. Dapat open ka sa possibilities ng bagong kaalaman kasi may tendency na magamit mo yun in your future endeavors.

6. Life is not a race, it’s an adventure.

-   H’wag masyado magmadali sa pag-asenso. Every success takes time to be. H’wag masyadong maging conscious sa future because it’s going to happen. Successful man o hindi, basta h’wag makipag-unahan. I always tell my friends na ‘H’wag na h’wag mong ico-compare yung sarili mo sa iba kasi sarili nilang journey yun. Focus on yourself.’ Life is not the destination, it’s the journey. I learned that from a cartoon, mind you.

7. Set concrete plans.

-   The challenge sa mga adulting people. Ang daming pwedeng gawing plano sa buhay. Maging successful o maging palamunin. Maging pioneer o maging alipin. Pero dapat ang maging plano mo is yung magiging masaya ka. Magiging proud ka sa sarili mo, proud ang parents at friends mo. Yung tipong magiging masaya lahat kasi nakikita nila na naging successful ka sa mga decisions mo. Include mo rin siyempre sila sa mga plano mo. Long term goals may be long term but it’s all worth it.

8. Love the little things.

-   The smell of old books, small sprout of plants, the laughter of babies, morning dew, strong rains, trinkets, black inks, puppies, memes, etc. It doesn’t matter what thing it is, just love it. Everything has its purpose and you have to love it for that.

9. You only live once!

-   Be adventurous. Try something new. Travel more. Eat exotic food. Do extreme activities. Live life. Pump adrenaline in your veins and work those excite cells. You get to choose what to experience and make it a cure of your fears. Fear is beatable if you have the courage to overcome it.

10. Look at the positive side of things.

-   H’wag kang negative sa lahat ng bagay. Look at the good side of every event. Iniisip mo kasi kaagad na may mangyayaring mali sa mga nangyayari e. Why not try it first? Or expect the best out of it? You win, then it’s cool. You lose, then you’ll learn. Easy. And don’t be conscious na iniisip ng iba na happy-go-lucky ka lang, no. It just goes to show na hindi ka madaling mag-crack under pressure. Na you can make a positive thing out of nothing.

11. Appreciate everything.

-   A small act/gesture of goodness is valuable. If someone helped you make an email, or greeted you good morning, or opened a door for you, or even pag-abot lang ng bayad mo sa jeep, always be thankful. Also, the things you encounter every day. Appreciate it of its beauty and purpose. Be thankful that you are alive now and experiencing life. Appreciate what is given to you.

12. Enjoy Life

-   H’wag maging human-representation ng stress. Chill, bro. Relax, take a breather and do things the chill way. I know stress is inevitable pero h’wag mo naman gawing droga at naaadik ka na. Lighten up. Kung ano pa man yang kinai-stress-an mo, mapa-work, family, love life or life in general, easy-han mo lang dude. H’wag kang hot. Wala kang magagawang maayos kapag agitated ka. Lessen overthinking. Too much of it is nakakataba, sige ka.

13. Don’t hold grudges.

-   A big no no. H’wag kang magtanim ng galit. Hindi yan makakabuti sa’yo. It will only pin you down at a certain point and never let you go, unless you let go. Oo, you have your right to be angry at a thing where it violated you, pero hindi ibig sabihin nun na hindi ka na magmo-move on sa pangyayaring yun. If the problem was resolved, then forgive and forget. If it wasn’t, then maybe it’s for the best. Karma is real. Piliin mo man o hindi na kalimutan yung tao/event, magresort ka pa rin sa forgiveness. Nakakagaan ng loob knowing na you did something good out of the evil deed of others. It shows na you are the better person.

14. Everything happens for a reason.

-   Every good things happen dahil deserve mo. You get to experience happiness because of these things. While every bad things happen dahil deserve mo din. Deserve mong umiyak, magalit at masaktan. Pero that doesn’t mean na ganyan ka na lang. May rason kung bakit tayo nagiging masaya, malungkot, etc. May rason din kung bakit nangyayari ang mga bagay-bagay, expected o hindi, at kung bakit hindi nangyayari ang mga gusto natin. Kung ano man yung rason na yun, hindi ko alam. Pero everything will fall into place. I can feel it in my body and it’s keeping me alive.

15. Be patient.

-   H’wag kang padalus-dalos. Don’t be spontaneous. H’wag atat. My gahd. May mga bagay na kailangan talaga bagalan para magwork. What I learned the past months, I guess, is that never make promises when you’re happy and never make decisions when you’re angry. Oh diba? Tama naman. H’wag bigla-bigla sa mga desisyon. At h’wag agad-agad sa mga aksyon. Maghintay kung kaya maghintay. May mga bagay na worth the wait. And patience ay hindi lang sa paghihintay. Maging pasensyoso/sa ka rin sa mga tao at pangyayari. H’wag makunsomisyon.  Patience is a virtue, Pikachu.

16. Accept People.

-   You know, I’ve developed my own tagline on this one. It goes, “Hayaan ko na. Ganyan talaga sila. May magagawa pa ba ako?” It might sound careless pero ganun talaga. Bakit ko pa sila babaguhin kung ganon talaga sila? Why not accept them for who they are and make your relationships work. (The word “relationship” here is used as relationship in general, hindi kalandian. Don’t.) And yes, it is also a small step na, you’re giving a little confidence-boost to that person kasi alam niya na kaya mo syang tanggapin and he/she can be comfortable around you. Kaya kapag may nagpakilala sa’yo, h’wag mong i-judge.

17. Surround yourself with true people.

-   3? 5? 9? 157? It doesn’t matter how many there is. As long as they can look at you dead in the eye and say, “Friend, tumataba ka”, or they can tell you their deepest secret with full trust, then it’s evident enough that your friendship is true. Material stuff is one thing but bond and trust are the measuring cups. And as for my friends, they’re measured accurately.

18. Destroy walls and build bridges (and vice versa).

-   Now, this is one tough pill to swallow.

In order to be open to another person, one must destroy the wall he/she built about his/herself. Destroying walls doesn’t necessarily mean na he has to over-expose himself. Ano lang, hwag masiyadong matulak-palayo na tao. Be accepting of sentiments and thoughts.

Now, build bridges to people na sa tingin mo ay you can connect with in so many levels. Be friends, best friends, intimate friends, etc. Basta, be a sociable person and prove na masiyadong stigmatized ang mga sociable people as pabibo.

Vice versa, ano. Build walls around you kapag masyado nang nakakaapekto sayo yung relationship in a way na, you resort on destroying yourself in the process. You’re not entitled to be sociable to EVERYONE. Not everyone will like you. Burn bridges kapag feeling mo toxic na sila sa buhay mo. You are not entitled to care about people who crave your attention but pushes you away, or yung mga kaibigan mong JOHN MICHAEL. Yung anJOHN lang kapag MICHAELangan. (Learned that from a friend, credits)

Now I know it sounded contradicting, because it is. Kahit ako na-torn. Pero balancing this one out can be very rewarding on your social health. Ako, I am still working this one out so…yeah.

19. Each person has his/her own demons.

-   H’wag masiyadong assuming na ikaw lang ang may problema kapag nakikita mo yung ibang tao na masaya, successful, etc. Everyone has their own demons to fight. It might not show but insecurities and self-consciousness can be very vexing to a person and I, for one, am guilty of this. I still fight my own demons and still manage to defeat them, day by day. So don’t judge a book by its cover.

20. Speak your mind.

-   One thing na natutunan ko lang lately. You are entitled to be heard, to speak out the truth and nothing but the truth. Just be mindful though. Anyway, ikaw at ikaw lang rin ang pumipigil sa sarili mo na sabihin kung ano ang nararamdaman mo. You are a human being and you have the right to say what you feel and what you think. It’s not necessary na tanggapin or i-reject nila yung thoughts mo. Basta masabi mo lang, sapat na yun. At least they know your thoughts and how will it affect them, bahala na.

21. H’wag pakain sa Mainstream.

-   Mainstream is everywhere. On fashion, food, social media, lahat. Hindi masama na you’re getting on what’s “in” and what’s “hot”. Hindi rin naman nakakabawas ng pagkatao if you’re expressing yourself sa mga uso na bagay or tinatawanan/nakikilahok sa mga balitang napapanahon. Pero please, for the sake ng pagkamatay ni Rizal at paglaban ng ating mga ninuno para sa kalayaan ng bansa at pagpapahayag ng sarili, h’wag naman umabot sa point na dine-degrade mo na yung ibang tao or dine-destroy mo na yung sarili mo just to get attention. Hindi attention ang makakapagpanalo sa’yo sa buhay. Ika nga, H’wag kang magpakain sa sistema. Go with the flow pero h’wag pakalunod sa mainstream. Being viral, famous or followed is one thing but being true is legendary.

22. Smile

-   Be the ray of sunshine this darkening world needs. It’s not costly to smile to a person. A smile can lighten up a person’s mood. I learned that smiling at anything may look crazy, pero nakakahawa siya. Why live in a dead, sad world when you can enjoy a crazy one, right?

23. Love unconditionally.

Hay. Hindi mabubuo ang mundo kung walang love. Love unconditionally. Simple. Love is yours to give. Bonus na kapag binalik sa’yo. Hindi mo kailangang humingi ng kapalit kapag nagmamahal ka. Oo, sa una you’re expecting, pero hindi love yun kapag pinipilit mo na ibalik niya sayo yung binibigay mo. If you love someone, love him/her. Period. No ifs, no buts. Let them choose who they get to love in this world. Kung ikaw yun, jackpot. Kung hindi ikaw, then deal with it. H’wag mo i-unlove. Kasi kung totoo yung pagmamahal na nilaan mo, you can never, I repeat, NEVER unlove someone, unless it wasn’t true. Marami pang complications yan. Pero four things na natutunan ko sa best friend ko is that, kung mahal niyo talaga ang isa’t-isa, you’re willing to meet halfway. You are very trusting with each other and will not break that trust. You can overlook at flaws and just focus on the good things. And lastly, you encourage growth on yourselves and on your relationship.
