Hils Watches The King's Avatar - Ep 40

It doesn't feel like 5 minutes ago that I started this drama. It's so very bingeable.

It's been a real journey. None of this has been what I expected beyond the very basic concept of 'it's a drama about esports'. There have been so many wonderful surprises. There are characters that I hated that I now love, characters that I loved that I now love even more, and more ships than I ever expected to ship.

While I'm at it I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has popped up in the replies to my posts or in my asks to either answer my questions or just yell about their favourite characters. I can tell this drama (and the novel and donghua) are so well loved and liveblogging this has really felt like a community experience. Thank you for not laughing at all the stuff I got wrong and for not making fun of me for shipping everyone. It's really been so wonderful and I almost don't want to press play on the final episode because I don't want it to be over.

But I need to see what happens so let's go!

Ah, okay. I misunderstood what happened at the end of the last episode. I thought they'd lost the game but no they could still win they just didn't have enough points to win the championship.

Is there going to be some loophole like the whole 'oh the ref's watch broke so actually you won'

HAHA! I fucking knew it! They got an extra two points for beating a league record. Because apparently that is a rule that has never been mentioned until now.

Eh, whatever. There was a nice moment with the fans before the found out they'd won

Ye Xiu finally gets the hug that he's needed since episode 1

Good lord how is there 30 minutes left? What's going to happen now that they've won?

God I hope Sun Xiang punches him

Except of course he won't because he's all grown up now. Also, typically it's the coaches/managers that get fired when a team does badly. I hope he gets booted

Love Shaotian dragging Wenzhou to his feet so he can cheer

Remember when their entire fanbase was just this guy. I'm definitely not crying at all

Look at that little half smile. He's grown so much considering they only lost on a technicality. I do think he's at least a little bit happy for Ye Xiu as the better player (for now)

GDI I can't believe I'm crying over Sun Xiang AGAIN

LOL remember when I thought he was going to be the antagonist of the drama when I watched the first episode. How wrong I was

Haha yes let's have a little joke about the time when I nearly banned you for life in the middle of an important game and caused your team to lose as a result

I have in no way been thinking about writing some King's Avatar fic with one based on the fact that Ye Xiu passes out after one drink

HAHA! Mo Fan pretended to pass out too so he doesn't have to talk to anyone. He is such a mood

Oh shit! I did not see that coming!

Oh no he looks so sad to see his former team like this, and it's understandable. He built that team from the ground up and put so much time and work into making them the legends they were

Yes, good. Baozi is cuddling one of his boyfriends as he should

Ah, yay, I'd forgotten about the team graphic. Time to add one more person right before the end

And finished! That was wonderful! Definitely in my top 5 dramas that I've watched this year. Might even be the number one, actually. I definitely should have watched that years ago when people first told me to give it a try. But, you know, I firmly believe you find things when you were meant to find them. Now was good.

I'll be starting a new drama tomorrow. If you were just here for my King's Avatar posts it's been lovely to have you. If you're sticking around for other liveblogs I'll see you tomorrow for more yelling :D

albus x percy is inspired tbh

Thank you I'm glad you understand the vision

i wish i had concrete thoughts other then just the Marge potato meme in my head

Like

Percy views him in a not great light by the time he graduates which I think is a good thing in this case I think Albus with someone who doesn't put him on a pedestal would be really neat and maybe dare i say good for him

Also Albus has got that baggage when it comes to his ex which is always fun in an age gap ship imo

like you have a lot of things you can do here in my opinion

though I do think they fall into that category of ship that needs some kind of outside push to happen which is not a bad thing imo

like i know some people are very

mehmeh if you need them to be in a weird situation its not really shipping mehmeh

which I think is just incorrect personally and i don't really like get that argument at all sometimes it's hard to imagine a pairing happening just out of the blue like i cant see either of them making any kind of actual move on one another

but i don't think that's a bad thing

In Percy's case because while i don't think he despises him i do think he has alot negativity about him. he blames him as the headmaster for a lot of things that happened in his last few years at Hogwarts and thinks hes insane and while at one point i don't think he saw that madness as a bad thing as he got older he seems to view it more negatively

as for Albus I just get the vibe from him that he's closed himself off from non-platonic love after Gellert to like avoid fucking up like that again? avoid the heartbreak? idk

point is i think something has to happen to not only show Percy that Albus is not just how he appears and can be trusted but also show Albus that it's ok to let himself fall again or something

anyway

Like a soulmate au where you only find out after you reach majority?(because by then Percy would be disillusioned by him which I think is important and less likely to happen if he knows before hand)

I think would be very funny and neat. It has drama. flavor.

Like did Albus ever think he didn't have one?

Is this a "you can't die until you find each other" au so now Albus is like GDI about it

How do they feel about it??

it's just mwah fun

time travel au

it's simple but effective

preferably Percy not going back so far that they're the same age though like let them keep a gap preferably a pretty decent one

Let Albus still have gone through a bunch of shit and not even fully trust this kid that just dropped out of no where in front of him so he keeps him close to him as much as possible just in case he's lying

oh forced proximity in general could be fun with them

Time loop where they are the only ones not stuck (thought it takes months to realize that because of them being in different places) or you know just them getting locked in together somewhere for a few days force them to talk

OH you know how I've talked about the Pyramid concept before about how there's alot of fun things you can do using the fact Fred and George locked Percy in a Pyramid by using it as a catalyst of some kind?

AU where the Pyramid specifically took Percy to a different world thats like close to the current one but different enough that its obv that Percy doesn't belong like maybe one where all the Weasley's died in the first war? maybe? it would be the easiest but im sure others exist that could work too

point is maybe Percy ends up in Albus' care because you know he's Albus and this is before his position is really being question forced proximity with added drama or losing family and not really trusting one another

Camilla Marigold — Thoughts on Mitch Reiss

Character Featured: Camilla Marigold

Mentioned: Mitch Reiss, Neige LeBlanche

Pairing: Camilla Marigold x Mitch Reiss

Warning(s): Cami /j, she just can't admit that she's attracted to him gdi, Mitch having to put up with her shenanigans, I'll finish their oneshot… Eventually /j, potentially ooc

[ Apologies for any out of character moments ]

[ Reblogs > Likes ]

†•°•══════ஓ๑❃๑ஓ══════•°•†

“He’s attractive, I'll give him that…. What?? You'd say the same thing if you saw him! Ugh, shut up, I'm not attracted to him, and I'm not desperate!! Now- Uhh- Have you seen him anywhere, I haven't seen him since before lunch-”

— Camilla Marigold

╔══ஓ๑†๑ஓ══╗

Non-verbal Thoughts

╚══ஓ๑†๑ஓ══╝

「 General Thoughts 」

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ She's so intrigued by him, it's not even funny. Like, it can get fucking concerning how intrigued she is by this guy, like damn girl, what did he do-?

➜ Camilla's probably that one walking annoyance in Mitch's life /j, too bad he can't get rid of her!

➜ He doesn't really approve of her gossiping tendencies, but unfortunately, it's a part of Camilla that he can't really change. So, really, all Mitch has to do is to put up with it.

➜ It honestly surprised Camilla that he's (eventually) so protective over her well-being! She reminds him that she's capable of taking care of herself, but apparently, Mitch isn't easily swayed by her words.

➜ No matter how good Cami is at concealing how she really feels about Mitch, her serpents can't. They're practically nagging at her to talk to Mitch whenever he's within a 5-mile radius, and it annoys the hell out of her.

↳ It definitely doesn't help that some of them openly show affection towards Mitch.

➜ She's never gonna admit it to his face, but Cami envies Neige for having Mitch as a bodyguard. Like damn, leave some for the rest of us, Neige 💀

➜ Mitch tended to keep Camilla at arm's length when Neige was with him, at least at first. It annoyed Cami to no end, and it still does.

༝ㅤ･ㅤ˚ㅤ。ㅤ.ㅤ⋆ㅤ「❃」

「 Interactions 」

❐ They probably met when Mitch found Neige talking with Cami, and immediately figuring out that something was off. Specifically, about how…. Persistent Camilla was being with Neige.

➜ A rough start to their relationship! Mitch learned the hard way that Cami won't be easily persuaded to stop herself from doing what she does. And vice versa.

➜ Neige is thankfully oblivious to Cami's antics, and apparently, ships the two of them together without them knowing /hj

➜ Mitch doesn’t fear Camilla…. At least, not in the way he expected to fear her. And by that, I mean that Cami uses him as her personal target whenever she wants to put some new ‘babies’ (read: guns) to the test. Mitch just has to deal with it, ig.

➜ Much like Cami to him, Mitch isn't gonna admit that he finds her attractive. He doesn't know why, but he can't shake off an unusual feeling he gets when Camilla is close by.

➜ Hates her singing voice. And I can't blame him.

➜ Mitch is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt once they grow closer, but…. As mentioned before, he already knows he shouldn't expect much results from that.

➜ He wants to observe more of her, see what she's actually like behind that overly confident and manipulative mask of hers. To see how truly vulnerable she is, before he regrets things he'll never be able to change.

➜ …. It'll take a while for that to happen, though. Much like how it'll take just as — if not longer — for Camilla to confess to him.

ugh my wired headphones are still hurting my head >:(

anyway

s3 ep2 huntara

ahahah I love this one

(if you're new here: i'm rewatching She-Ra for fic-writing purposes, and live-blogging my way through them making commentary and jokes and side notes about random shit. bc this is a REwatch there are many references to later plot points)

is that the Beta Kindergarten

(man I've been making a lot of Steven Universe references in these lately, but yeah I can't look at sandstone slot canyons without thinking "hrr hrr where's Jasper")

(wait has a Jasper cosplayer actually taken photos in one of these in like Utah? a quick image search says no. damn.)

how many times did I look at this establishing shot before I realized this part of the Fright Zone is the ruins of a ginormous spaceship

ALSO "day 135"? I noted yesterday that someone working on the show said sOMEWHERE that each season is about a year and I was like "ehhhh" but I guess that's not far off.

That makes the whole catradora arc even more angsty tbh. For some reason I thought the whole show took place over like a single year or so. But FOUR OR FIVE YEARS?? they pined for each other while trying to murder each other for MULTIPLE YEARS????

awwwwww

Listen. I love this ship. I'm always weak for "complete asshole with tough act is soft for one (1) person"

(tho lemme tell you. do not actually date those dudes irl. *sigh*)

why did so many 80's cartoons have extremely unrealistic quicksand scenes tho

gdi adora

The Crimson Waste is actually just a western bar full of furries. But seriously designing the characters in the bar must've been hella fun

AAHAHAAHH Adora being so, so blatantly gay for Huntara is one of my fave things

Did they need to establish that Adora is into women? Pfft, no. Did they still decide to show us Adora being absolutely smitten on sight for an older, big, buff, badass, butchy lady? YES.

Doesn't hurt that she looks likes this lol

like it's the least subtle thing on EARTH i love it so much

oh no now I want to look up fics

18 of them are explicit. well. I'm just gonna. leave that tab open.

ADORA. YOU COCKBLOCKED HER. RUDE.

lol there's a moment where Glimmer and Bow are like "ha ha we need to talk amongst ourselves" and turns around and Adora is still just staring at Huntara with googly eyes without noticing what Bow even said and lemme tell you, I've been that fucking obvious and oblivious

Huntara literally is like "oh my god you kids are gonna end up DEAD without me. FINE." Meanwhile, Adora:

Plot plot Huntara leads them to a trap and they get hit with tranquilizer darts and dropped into a pit.

that's just a nice shot tbh

EAT SOME DAMN SOUP your girlfriend spent TIME on that

she just refuses to be afraid of him

Anyway yeah this is when we find out he's just a clone of Horde Prime the Big Baddy of the series, Hordak is a "defective" clone, he was sent to "the front lines" to die and fell through a portal into Etheria. "with nothing but a broken ship, I built an empire..." the whole point of the portal is to bring Horde Prime through, which means that's what he was doing when he tried before and ended up with A Magic Baby (Adora) instead.

The animation in the flashback is clearly inspired by Lotte Reiniger which is super cool??

Back to the Crimson Waste, they've gotten themselves out of the hole, and Adora's upset because the whole point of this mission is her getting more info about Mara with the hopes of understanding her own past better

she's RIGHT

"...at least to me..."

LISTEN TO YOUR CUTE NERDY GIRLFRIEND YOU EMO BASTARD

She makes him a nice techy exoskeleton armor thingie

that's a start but c'mon I know you can do better than that

lolol the recorder baby critter KICKS HIM in an obvious "dude really????"

look at him!!! AAHAHAH

i'm gonna go over the image limit and tumblr's gonna cut me off and make me reblog this any minute now but this episode is jUST TOO GOOD

"I like being friends with you, too" ;_;

Huntara's "friends" make fun of her for being a softie while she swings the She-Ra sword around and then Glimmer drops in wooo

yeah I know this is a fight scene but eheheheh

and then they banged

okay they kept fighting but like, c'mon

the "sword point under the chin" thing is just so good and I loved the way they did the angles here

OH SHIT I forgot Huntara had heard of She-Ra

OH HO HO HOW THE TURN TABLES

Anyway Huntara does her little speech about how she also used to be a Horde soldier but left because Hordak was such a dick to his soldiers. "you would know, you were one of us."

called THE FUCK OUT

Huntara does her little "you can't defeat the Horde alone even if you're She-Ra" and she responds with "yah I'm not alone tho"

but also that shot is unnecessarily hot

....i've hit the image limit with two minutes to spare so I went back and deleted one because

hggghh

(not gonna get into how Shadow Weaver's face-touching thing is what made Adora do it here but yeah)

Huntara tells her minions to get lost, admits that the war scared the shit out of her and that's why she ran, but she knows that's bullshit and she promises to help Adora stop the war :D and then leads them to the place they were originally looking for: the ruins of Mara's ship!

AND EPISODE OVER

(gonna...see if any of those fics are any good 👀)

[Magi reread] Night 21: Legend

(alternatively: Saya loses her mind about the fucking moon)

Shit's still dark, man.

Like, damn, that's quite a visual here.

Ugo-kun... why are you trying to look... you don't have a head...

Honestly, I'm just putting it here, because I like the way it sounds. Idk why.

Take a moment to appreciate that this translation has that name written differently in EVERY CHAPTER. I'm not even joking. At first it was Doruji, then Dolji in the previous one, and now it's Dorzi, like, bro, make up your mind.

Honestly, I'm kind of sad how the Kouga Clan loses it's importance later on. There's so much lore on them in this arc...

I like his quest for identity, especially here. It's actually a pretty cool character arc, though I think it really peaks in the Kou Empire Arc, and then is kind of meh, like everything else in the Final Arc, save for Kougyoku and whatever the fuck she and Alibaba have going on.

But back to Aladdin, it's actually kind of interesting when you think about it, because that quest wasn't really talked about in the first arc. Then again, the entire Dungeon Arc wasn't even all that focused on Aladdin's internal conflicts or anything. We were witnessing his shenanigans from the perspective of other people, Leila's in the first chapter, then mostly Alibaba's, whose thoughts we could even pry into, while Aladdin remained this mysterious and powerful kid he'd met. But here we have it, Aladdin's perspective. Aladdin's journey and self-discovery. As much as I love Alibaba, I'm really glad he's not there, so we can get to know Aladdin outside of his relationship with his best friend. Here these characters present are side-characters, so there's nobody to really steal his spotlight.

Pretty

(Wendigoon voice) LORE

But also I'm kind of thinking about Mogamett's backstory, which, man, I can't wait for the Magnostadt Arc. Honestly, his last words are one of my absolute favorite quotes, probably next to Kise's monologue about Aomine in KnB, and People need other people from MP100. The latter is kind of funny, it's nothing groundbreaking and special, but also I think that's why it feels so special, y'know?

Ok, Saya, shut up, it's the wrong arc.

Honestly, that's one of the biggest themes in Magi. The People need other people thing.

He heard the story about what Magi is, and he looks so damn sad. : (

And Baba noticed.

That's just so ;_;

He looks so happy to talk about them! (Hugo)

More Hugo.

But aside from that, honestly? I love it. This entire scene is really wholesome. Aladdin might not know where he came from and all that stuff, but he does have an identity. And identity that comes from the relationships with other people. I'm a sucker for this theme, as long as it's used properly, and here is a damn good example.

;;;

Just look how happy he is.

What the hell is wrong with the moon?! It was a crescent a moment ago! It's pretty but what's going oooon

Ok, he looks pretty cool here.

They're safe!

Fambily

(inhumane screech) IT'S A CRESCENT AGAIN. WHY IS THE MOON A CRESCENT AGAIN. IT WAS A FULL MOON LITERALLY A MOMENT AGO, IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES WHAT THE FUCK OHTAKA EGZPLAIN

It's all the more interesting, when you later get to Sinbad and Kouen and dirtying their hands to protect their country.

Awesome! How long will you remain a crescent, huh, moon?

Gdi, maybe Solomon figured he'd fuck with the moon a bit so his kid will look SICK. Damn, actually. Maybe it wasn't Aladdin's words that shocked Baba but the goddamn moon going full randomly.

Weeee!

LMAO. Granny ships it.

Your face does look weird, Grandma.

Man, I sure hope nothing bad happens, she's such a great character :)

Oh noooooo

OH NOOOO

[existentialflirt]

Finished s2 of Good Omens and I am UNWELL. Because I need to yell about it, I'm very sorry. It is going under a cut if anyone who is following me hasn't finished and is allergic to spoilers. Idek. Idek. I have been a wreak. I woke up early and binged the last two and uggggh the end. Fuck. Right. Under the cut we go.

So....so uh, where to start that won't get me angry again? To say that I have ISSUES with the ending is an understatement because look fucking look, this is not about the ship. I mean it is but it isn't, it's about the fact that it does not make sense for Aziraphale. Is does not and I'm going to unpack that in a second but first i want to talk about the canonization of an apparent rare pair (I don't know. I don't tend to lurk in single fandom spaces much and I'm pretty new to Good Omens, but Mo has been and he mentioned the fandom quite fancied Beelzebub and Gabriel as an item so fine). I do not understand it as an arc if it wasn't supposed to twig something in our angel's pretty little head like oh hey, this seems familiar. I understand it's a way to free up the head angel position in heaven and that's all well and good but the writing is usually so much tighter than that so I call it sloppy. AND I DO GET THAT THIS ISN'T THE END BUT SEASON 3 IS A LONG WAY OFF AND WHO KNOWS WITH THIS STRIKE AND THE STUDIOS BEING MONSTERS LIKE FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. I mean yes Neil has promised if he cannot get it renewed as a series, he will get it done another way and I trust him. gdi, i trust him because that ending destroyed me.

Right so, I'm getting incoherent, sorry.

Now, if we want to talk rationally, it does make sense for Aziraphale to get sweet talked by Metatron (and presumably God, by that measure). I do. He gave him coffee and talked like a dear old man, really playing up the freedom he'd have to continue to associate with Crowley. Combined with that, Aziraphale having a lot of doubts about what's going on in heaven, since oh you know, the whole Job incident (loved that whole story, my god, the end murdered me and set me down in a shallow grave. In a good way), and that's partially from Crowley's influence. But why in heaven would he think that offering Crowley to be reinstated as an angel would please him at all?????

Crowley has made it extremely clear since he fell that he doesn't give two shits about any side but his (which in time extended to theirs, Aziraphale and him against the world. At one point almost literally). So why??? Why would he think it's something he'd want, even with a nice coat of paint? I mean, maybe it could be said that he was blinded by Crowley's acts of kindness and mercy and thought that maybe if he spun it as they can go up there and change things, that Crowley's distaste toward heaven has to do with the fact that he could run it together. It wasn't. He was mad about unanswered questions and the prospect of the universe, which he played a part in creating, being destroyed. (I have a lengthier head canon about that, tbh, which is will pen in time). It just doesn't serve any narrative for the characters aside from we're setting up for the third season on a cliffhanger (and yes, yes, Neil couldn't have predicted the WGA/SAG-AFRA strike. He says he had been working on it but stopped for the strike, which good on him. We stan, but also god what piss poor timing to destroy the fans with this angst)

Now look, the performances are gorgeous. Always perfect. David and Micheal are incredible together and I would have been FINE been FINE with that argument in the store, Crowley practically begging Aziraphale to run away together and that desperate fucking kiss, but I don't understand Azirapale remaining resolute. I don't. I really don't. He should have done....well, so many things instead that would have been a better close to this particularly romantic arc.

Argh. Anyway Mo and I will be mostly sticking with season 1/Book canon and cherry picking from season 2 because we are coping or diverting that ending so they can have their US TIME god fucking dammit.

As a side note: I did not appreciate Maggie and Nina lecturing Crowley about him needing to be more emotionally cognizant about his feelings toward Aziraphale. Like, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be obnoxious here, but Crowley is as clearly in love with Aziraphale as anyone can be. He makes time for him, indulges the angel, and is very protective. In season one he also begged Aziraphale to run away with him. He literally wants nothing but his car and to be with Aziraphale and he rarely appeared too conflicted about it. Yes, he has demurred about them being together but that has nothing to do with his feelings and everything to do with the fact that Aziraphale is rather oblivious when it comes to his own emotions. Crowley is the one that has emotional intelligence. Aziraphale needs to be walloped over the head about it. Hell, I would have preferred Maggie and Nina talk to Aziraphale and Metatron talk to Crowley as a bit of an inversion. Could you imagine, God knowing how Crowley is really not great with this whole being evil thing deep down and maybe even feeling a bit bad about casting him out, so sends Metatron to offer him a job (that would have been fitting of his former rank, to boot). Crowley tells him to eat shit, he and Aziraphale have a moment in the bookstore, Crowley ranting and raving about the offer and they should maybe fuck off for awhile and Aziraphale finally opening up that big box of feelings and realizing what Crowley has given up for him, risked for him, and oh my god, I should save this for a thread idea.

Anyway, whew sorry for this. I just needed to get it out in words.

[hakureiryuu]

okay, I'm calm now, ready to rewatch with the intention of understanding, and not through the lens of 3 years of excessive fanfiction.

(and also, apparently, not through the lens of the book? idk man.)

episode 1, lez go!

crowley using that crank thingie to make stars is delightful, gives that bit at the end of s1 so much more impact and puts crowley's tool of choice on par with aziraphale's flaming sword.

thinkin bout the way the intros play out the entire series basically so I was waiting for aziraphale's sprite to fly away or something on 2nd watch. instead they're climbing up this huge purgatory-esque mountain with all of humanity behind them. lends some credence to the idea that the 3 seasons parallel the 3 acts of the divine comedy. (edit: actually the end of the s1 intro has them all jumping into the pits of the inferno so yeah that completely checks out.)

I didn't notice maggie spelled urgency wrong lmao

"I'm very good at forgiveness" bitch the fuck you are! ofc I would not be the least but surprised if heaven culture completely skewed his definition of the word.

crowley's tattoo is lower down on his face and it bothers me.

"why can't they just deliver the mail to your car" first hint that he's living in his damn car, which I didn't figure out until like ep3 XD

john hamm is delightful and I so deeply regret all the fics where gabriel is explicitly rapey. now he's a himbo of legendary proportions and I love him.

fly buzzing lol

"now that I'm not reporting to heaven" gdi he feels a lack without a system to report to even if that system was shit. he misses the scraps of approval heaven used to give him and doesn't know how to fill that void.

aziraphale practicing acknowledging his relationship with crowley 🥰

also I was so pleased when they tossed in that aziraphale knows about shax, they are (were 😭) doing so well.

I'm dying, their argument over gabriel is an exact parallel to their argument over going back to heaven. aziraphale wants to fix the problem. crowley wants to run from the problem. help me.

all the archangels dress in the cool spectrum of whites but muriel is warm and it stands out rather starkly.

s1 beelzebub had such an interesting accent and manner of speaking that this new one lacks. too feminine, maybe? not that enbys owe anyone androgyny I guess. idk I'm bad at change, ignore me.

trying to read into bee's behavior knowing what's really going on is so bizarre XD

that whole book of life thing never actually comes to fruition this season and I am scared.

I had zero investment in the secondary ship but listing off all the parallels makes it so interesting that they flip it all on its head by the end about who is paralleling who.

1793 was the french revolution, 1941 was the blitz. what the hell happened in 1650??

d'you think david tennent made up the I was wrong dance in the spot? 😂

"no alarm bells ringing in heaven" -cut to alarm bells ringing in heaven- welp

also I like the gestures both of them used in keeping with the rules. snapping is great and all but I like variety sometimes 😌

part 2

[bylightofdawn]

Lee Dong-sik might actually be coming for Obi-Wan's crown when it comes to shipping with infinite sadness. Lee Dong-sik/Infinite Sadness is definitely the actual major pairing in this fandom I've decided. Spoiler ranting below

I'm almost done with episode 9 and I am HATING this bullshit superiority needlessly blaming Dong-sik for Min-jeong's death that Ju-won is doing right now.

Get right the fuck out of here with that bullshit, sir. How the fuck is he supposed to MIND READ she was still alive when he found dismembered fucking fingers at a serial killer's murder basement. The amount of mental reaching you have to do to come to that conclusion is staggering.

How has he managed to become even smugger and makes me want to punch him even more in his pretty face and bloody his nose?

I'm also feeling super fucker cheated that Dong-sik did not get the chance to kick Kang Jin-muk's ass. I'm sure there will be some convoluted plan surrounding his suicide but right now I am feeling very crabby about the whole thing.

I also need to go edit my previous beyond evil post because when I was live-blogging it I thought Ju-won was in Busan trying to find someone who knew the prostitute. I still want to believe he's battling with some kind of guilt for her death. But right now he's coming across like a class-a bastard and I don't particularly enjoy his character.

You're really going to go to a traumatized man who was literally digging into the dirt desperate to find his sister's corpse, only for him to get the thinnest glimmer of hope he's finally found her and can get some fucking closure only to get that ripped away and then decide "How can I make this worse?" Oh let me go lay foundless accusations and pile MORE GUILT onto his head. Maybe you should kick him in the balls while you're at it?

Yes, I might be at risk of becoming the one who views Lee Dong-sik as her little Meow Meow. No, I am NOT okay with that and I do not want to talk about it. But I am very much turning into a feral Rosa Diaz from B99 when Dong-sik is becoming my Arlo.

Edit: OH MY GOD THAT ENDING. Motherfucker it’s 1 am I cannot stay up for another hour+ episode of Lee Dong-ski’s endless man pain hour. I have work tomorrow gdi

LOOK.

I know those are vastly different vibes, but I'm a multi shipper and the universe is infinite and chaotic and I'm very gay, and sometimes you crave a different flavour than what you usually read, so you simply must brave the wilds sometimes (or in this case the mostly protected Embrace aka awesome writers' fic in other fandoms/ships because you can at least depend on them writing something really good).

Untalla/Silga - best cuties forever. I love them. Would hold them gently in my arms now that they get along. (also THEM. I mean come on, somewhat enemies to hesitant allies to 'oh.' I just think they're neat, and I love me a good side character that nobody really talks abt, even more so when it's two of them. together. being fucking precious)

Imogen/Dancer - hot as hell, love that for me them. I just think sometimes Imogen could use some unwinding and getting rid of some pent up energy, and they certainly achieved that. (plus the storm imagery really got to me. love me a good storm. also, I just think Dancer is such a fun character)

wish I could make myself read the Tilda stories bc I'm sure it's just as well-written as the rest of your fic, but I hate her to much, rip. she hurt my bb Beta and that's an unforgivable crime. (yes. Otohan definitely hurt my other bb Laudna, and Imogen in the process, too, but at least I still haven't watched those episodes in their entirety so I can just insert your headcanons and look beyond my ignorance and hatred lol)

as for Imogen/Otohan. I know you said not to look, but this is literally the first post about them that came across my dash, not even sure how, probably through the For You section.. so I would like to apologize in tumblr's name for breaching the containment.

also, I spent the largest portion of today trying to figure out where I read it so I could point at it and blame you. anyway, I've now read at least five other stories in the process before I found that one again, so now you are entirely responsible. well, you and Shamie with her amazing art, but that's pretty much a given. we love Shamie here <3

so yeah, I love when characters help heal each other, but sometimes you just want to see them make each other worse. duality of man etc etc

they're hot together, they hurt my brain to think about, but it seems a small price to pay for some really great reading. so, fuck you (affectionate) for making me actually like Otohan (my beloathed) a little bit, or a little more than that, okay maybe they're growing on me, gdi. the exposure is slowly but surely getting to me. but hey, messy, emotionally wrecked Imogen is a delight sometimes. I sure hope she'll get some hugs and therapy down the line.

once again, thank you for blessing us all with your writing, I sure am enjoying reading it.

#i like to think this is me writing otohan for some folks lol (it is. I need you to know that. Otohan my beloathed, but I'll read it from you bc I know it'll be amazing. still physically hurts me tho lol and I take a little irreversible brain damage if I enjoy it even just a little. my brain is gone now. thank you for the privilege of being felled by your blade)

Context for folks who want it.

ANYWAY

Lou I mostly remember you liking my Silga and Untalla stuff?? I'm so sorry I dragged you into my Otohan obsession??? The VIBES are totally opposite?! With that said, I'm fucking honored, thank you so much

day two: favorite quote

↳ theon I, adwd

And Robb. Robb who had been more a brother to Theon than any son born of Balon Greyjoy’s loins. Murdered at the Red Wedding, butchered by the Freys. I should have been with him. Where was I? I should have died with him.

Hils Watches My School President - Ep 12 (Part 1)

Can't believe we're at the end already. Please don't expect me to be normal about Tiw and Por because I won't be.

I love how they set her up to be the villain of the story but actually she just wants her son to be happy.

And I love that Tinn's parents actually have a really healthy relationship (I mean apart from the time they told Tinn about all the sex they were going to have while he was away studying)

Got to get in one last printer product placement before the end

Tinn is so smooth for someone who is such a nerd (affectionate)

He is 100% correct and should say it

Of course we have to have a dramatic being outed plot to finish things off

My sweet son Por was literally the only member of the band who hadn't figured out Tinn and Gun were together. I love him.

Haha! Phat knew about Tinn and Gun but did not know about Win and Sound. Everyone's worlds getting shook today

Por is really going to be shook when he finds out that Tinn was helping because he likes Gun, and Tiw was helping because he likes Por

I thought Jorn was going to be homophobic but actually he's just mad that music club was getting preferential treatment because Tinn liked Gun. And, you know, he kind of has a point.

Character development

I love that we've now reversed roles and Gun is trying to protect Tinn, even though Tinn very much does not want to be protected

Am I just old or is this a drama thing? So many BL dramas seem to have girls taking photos of boys and posting about how they ship them on social media. It's kind of creepy.

Baby just found out what the name order in a ship means. Everyone getting their minds blown in this episode

I'm pretty sure it's TinnGun, actually

Some punch the shitty homophobic teacher

No, really, someone punch him

FUCK ME! Jorn punched him! Good for you, sweetie!

You had better fire that homophobic teacher, ma'am

YES DESTROY HIM

Oh no I'm crying again

I love that some dramas just squeeze in redemption arcs for characters who don't deserve it. Then you have Jorn who hates unfairness to the point of punching a homophobic teacher. I love him.

Aww look at Sound kissing his boyfriend on stage in front of everyone. Good for them.

God they are so stinking cute

GDI I've hit the image limit and there's still another 30 minutes to go so I guess once final part 2

Part 2

[sea-owl]

GDI. I fell back into the httyd fandom and yall gonna have me shipping poly dragons?

The ship in question is Toothless x Stormfly x Light Fury.

Damn it, now I'm picturing like a modern human au where Toothless and Light Fury are the it couple of their university.

Many have said they're like yin and yang. The perfect couple that makes people believe in soul mates. No one knows that both of them are openly pinning after their best friend Stormfly. At least no one outside of their friend group and unfortunately Stormfly.

They're like that one tiktok sound:

Meatlug: You two really have a crush on Stormfly?

Bar:She's like bigger

Belch: stronger

Hookfang: and probably a better fighter than either of you

Toothless and Light Fury staring dreamily at the taller girl: Exactly.

Stormfly does think her best friends act a little odd sometimes but who is she to judge? Their both from old money families and gods only knows they could be worse from what she's seen from their extended relatives. Thank Thor Stoick and Valka are so down to earth.

Stormfly also knows that to everyone else she doesn't belong among her friends. She herself is from a lower class family. Even her getting to attend college was only possible because the university gave her an archery and academics scholarship. Her sister, Astrid was working hard towards those same scholarships since the archery team added axe throwing. Visiting every other weekend so Stormfly can help with her networking. To others Toothless and Light Fury took pity on her and their other friends followed. Which to be fair Stormfly gets. They all went to the same small town school for years and it wasn't until junior year did any of them learn her name. They can afford all the newest things while Stormfly sometimes struggles deciding whether to pay rent late or starve for a few days.

So yeah Stormfly doesn't belong in her friend's world a lot of the time. But they don't take pity on her!

Hell who is she kidding? The only reason Stormfly met her friends because her younger sister just happened to be dating Hiccup, Toothless' younger brother.

It was obvious when they kept trying to buy her things.

The pity has gotten so bad lately though that Toothless and Light Fury started inviting her with them on date night.

Stormfly almost broke her bow over their heads the first time they asked her that. Do they believe she has so little pride?

Astrid snorted, aiming her axe while Stormfly aimed her arrow. "Storm they want to fuck you."

"WHAT!?" Stormfly released the arrow too soon, her aim way off.

Hiccup groaned from the side. "Please fuck them Stormfly and put them out of their misery. Their pinning has become unbearable! Dad and Gobber are taking bets."

Stormfly's face turned red, getting even redder when she sees said couple approaching.

Toothless goes to greet his brother when Stormfly exclaimed. "You two want to fuck me!"

Toothless went silent while Light Fury had a predatory grin. "Oh honey, we want to do more than fuck you."

(Your lovelies with my Naruto Muses)

@historias-multorum Oh man look- LOOK YOU UNLOCKED ONE OF MY SECRET MUSES AND NOW I HAVE TO EVENTUALLY MAKE A BIO! But really there so many horrible ships and interactions i want with you and just- 👌

Pairings under cut.

DoYoung Jangnim Pairings:

Izuna Uchiha- I just love the thought of her hating these people so damn much but they seem to surround her. Like she can be extremely pissy about them but we all know these Uchiha are growing on her.

Itachi Uchiha- Hey they share a work buddy, even if Do kind of disrespects Kisame. She at least has the balls to do it in his face. He'd be constantly amused by her horrible antics. Why is this hoblin woman handing me food? Where did that even come from?

Karin Uzumaki- Hey sis what's up 👋. Uzumaki shenanigan's. She will drag Karin into chaos. Science sounds cool, but putting it into practice would probably blow Do's little brain. Hunting for old man Ga as a bonding experiment and it ending with them kicking him while he's balled up on the ground. Look I live for these girls.

Madara Uchiha- Pure sin tbh, it would be so damn Toxic. Like "Ah an Uzumaki mixed woman- for FWEEEEE?!?" Shes gonna try to fight him a lot ngl. "Look me in the eyes when we talk motherfucker." The actual audacity- but also she will literally look him in the eyes and you gotta respect that.

Yuho Inuzuka pair's:

Hana Inuzuka- Same clan! Dog- so many dogs. Hana waqtching Yuho lay on the floor and cry because one of her students called her old. Winter trips to Kumo please!!!

Sasuke Uchiha- "I remember you being a sad motherfucker in school. Wanna go see some puppies, you probably need it." Will bring him fizzy drinks and listen to his problems.

Ichiban Hyuuga pair's:

Hinata Hyuga- Same clan and same branch. She's probably run into him a few times before being steered away. Ichi was a giant Hyuuga heart throb with a shitty past and a love for his baby sister, that's right up her alley. "I can fix him I swear 🥺"

Tsunade- A bit of an age gap but he's perfectly fine with that. Tsunade beating his ass and dragging him back to the village kicking and screaming would be HILARIOUS! "Mommy, I'm sorry- Mommy?"

TenTen- She deserves so much. Here have a Hyuga Tens, you deserve it. Them meeting when he's all busted and bruised would be such a classic movie moment.

Karin Uzumaki- It would be kinda Toxic, he's a bit daft and that would result in some smacking. Them meeting while in the land of tea and he's just fucking awe struck. Is the equivalent of a golden retriever.

Sook Ga Uzumaki pairs:

Tsunade- Look, I'm not saying he'd be a simp but- he'd simp. Them working on recording Uzumaki scrolls and techniques that are dying out. Tsunade helping him with smithing when he can't wear his prosthetic sounds bad ass.

Izuna Uchiha- He approached first and it left an impression LOL. Uzumaki's x Uchiha's is a winning mix lets be real. Sook is old enough to know about Izuna so seeing this fucker has him confused, he doesn't ask though because he's a good boy gdi.

DoHwang Jangnim:

Hinata Hyuga: she's so tiny and shy, he loves that. Gentle woman, kind woman, will rip your throat right out though- he's impressed. Hwang is extremely pretty, but very blind. Them walking arm and arm and her describing the sky and he's just swimming in her words. Very slice of life and fluffy.

Karin Uzumaki- They share Uzumaki blood. Karen restoring his eyes and that being a huge ass moment between them because she's the first thing he see's. Him sneaking her little gifts when he's in the area from his missions. 10/10 would court like a princess.

Itachi Uchiha- Blind big brother issues. Might have a lot more in common than they think with Hwang being a retired Hunting captain. There will be some outrage from Hwangs side because he would never push his sister to revenge for his own selfish need to die. Will be willing to work through that with the other man though.

[fonulyn]

I need to scream about RE ID bc like. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, I did. Was it. Just wrapped up way too nicely and quickly? Also yeah. I was a little disappointed by it tho, like the length, and the flashback scenes weren't as clear as I think they should have been? Like I understood what was happening, but it took me a little too much brain power to like keep up with what was and wasn't a flashback lmao

Also I wanna say, I get wanting to keep Jun See alive but god, that did not look fun. Just let him die, dude, no one wants to live like that, smh.

Thank god they kept Leon's one liners tho, like thank you for that at least lol also Claire, my GIRL, I love her holy shit. Honestly she was amazing, like, just perfect. Not sure why she has a gun in the promotional poster, bc she just. Never has a gun throughout the entire show, I don't think? Also can we talk about how she took that guy down with that lamp, and then hopped on top of him just fucking ready to continue to beat the shit out of him? Chris would be so proud 🥲

Okay also, I saw what you said with that flirting scene, and I agree that it seemed like Leon was trying to lighten the mood, but it so didn't need to be put in there at all @ the writers. Like this show could have gotten away with no romance, or just that one moment near the end with Claire and Leon (which, I don't ship them much, and that moment at the v end where she was like "are you ever gonna stop treating me like a kid?" And he responded with "probably not" or whatever kind of ruined whatever was shown earlier? Like it feels like she's had that convo with Chris before too, so I'm like hm no don't imply romance and then imply that he treats her like a little kid every time they run into each other, now it's weird lol) and been fine. None of the story was contingent on any kind of romance between anyone.

Now with that said, can I just say Patrick absolutely wanted to suck Leon's dick? Like he was smitten, and I bet you they at least fuck after all this is said and done, if not date for a short period of time. I thought they were gonna kill Patrick off, I'm glad they didn't tho, he was v wholesome lol.

Also I wanna mention that every serious moment (save a small handful) I just. I couldn't take it seriously, it was too over the top. Acid? Really? That's the self destruct measure? Slowly rising acid? I dunno, that doesn't seem quite right to me, I don't think that's how it works lol

Honestly they should have just made this into a new movie, bc making it a series implies more to follow and in general a longer narrative, but these eps were barely 20 minutes each, so there's almost no point splitting it like that. Did I enjoy myself? Yeah, I always do when Leon is involved, but it could have been so much better.

Also the silly little shipper in me is kind of desperate for more interaction between Chris and Leon, bc as far as I'm aware it's just RE6, RE vendetta, and RE ID (and I think the person who told Chris to save Claire in either code x or Veronica was Leon? Not 100% about that tho lol) where they actually interact with each other, and considering that they're the two main characters of the franchise, they should probably meet up more? Idk, that's just my gay ass hoping for more Chreon content lmao but still.

ANYWAYS yeah, I would rate the show like a 7.5/10? It wasn't amazing but it wasn't garbage, either. Probably my least favorite of the four animated movies tbh, but I will take the Leon content, thank you Capcom. Also it was interesting to see Leon around the time following/around RE4 and RE degeneration, I thought, I dunno.

oh boy I agree 100% it was wrapped up way too quickly in the end. like killing Jason? by just dropping him in the acid? it was way too simple and easy if you ask me. and like, why didn't he yeet Leon into the acid when he had him by the throat? him not killing Leon makes zero sense to me??

asdfg yeah I get they weren't ready to let Jun See go, but I bet Jun See really would've preferred to go...

I am so happy that they kept the one liners!! Leon felt very, very in character which I loved so much. I was afraid they'd tone it down or make him super serious or so, and it was such a relief they didn't. he was so eager to help and so goddamn kind to everyone I don't know if my heart can even handle it ;;;;;

also Claire!! so badass!! I loved the part where she attacked the guy with the lamp (yes Chris would be super proud haha) and THE HEADBUTT seriously, one of the top highlights of the entire series :'D

(but honestly this is gonna get long i'mma gonna hit that read more here)

and the flirting scene, I do think they could've left it out entirely and it felt a little strong-armed in. but I'm trying to look at the silver lining? Leon was super goddamn adorable in it, like, so cute it hurts :'D and Shen May didn't seem bothered really, it was more this joking thing between them. so while yes, it was unnecessary, i'm focusing on the joking feel of it and choosing to interpret it as such :'D

also, can I just say, the "romantic moment" with Claire and Leon near the end didn't feel very romantic to me? I know it's a romcom cliché (or at least a fanfic cliché lmao) how they ended up in a pile after the rescue but ...it didn't scream romance to me? although I do kind of like the pairing! (not a top fave but a cute one)

and yes, the whole "when are you gonna stop treating me like a kid?" "probably never" felt SO much like a sibling moment!! such big brother energy from Leon, and I don't know, that made me super duper happy?? I want them to be friends. I neeeed them to be friends gdi. which is why I am unhappy with how mad Claire seemed to be at Leon in the end and how they left it off like they did. I am hoping that it sets things up for a second season? and they for whatever reason need them on kind of the opposing sides at first? because otherwise it makes no sense to me for her to be that disappointed in him. in Degeneration they already establish they work in different ways towards the same goal, and for that to do a 180 now feels... like a disservice to the characters? idk?

lmaooooo but yes Patrick 100% wanted to suck Leon's dick he didn't even try to be subtle about it :'D idk I would've wanted Patrick to have more depth and screentime too, i so wish they would've made it a longer series and given the characters more development. because I liked pretty much all of the new characters they introduced! but it feels none of them reached their actual potential!

then again that is kind of the whole deal with resident evil in general, they set up awesome characters and end up wasting them half of the time :'D guess i shouldn't be surprised.

THE SLOWLY RISING ACID PISSED ME OFF lmaooo c'mon!! it doesn't seem like a good self destruct measure. especially since ...you'd need different acid to dissolve organic matter and to dissolve inorganic matter if we're being nitpicky. and how would it be plausible for them to store enough of it safely to even do this?? they should've just detonated the whole place and blown it to smithereens or something, the acid was. stupid.

i agree, it feels like a movie. but I think @tirsynni is probably right when saying that it was sort of a test run to see if they should make more? which I am so hoping for. because even with the complaints I have of this, I DID enjoy it, a lot!! and I do want more! and maybe this time we get Claire and Leon actually working together for more than fifteen seconds! :'D

also I definitely would not say no to more Chris and Leon interactions. (yes it was Leon who told Chris to save Claire :) at least that) it... in general makes no sense to me how capcom seems to think friendships work? like how Sherry is all "Leon and Claire are my best friends" and then they imply they haven't met in years? if not more? idek it's. weird. it's like their characters go into storage containers in between their missions to be stored away so they can't even accidentally have personal lives or friendships or anything. weird.

(what I said about having amazing characters and ending up wasting their potential? yeah)

for me, personally, it's... well, my score for the show would depend on whether I just focus on the characterizations and what I liked, or if I try to actually take the plot and all into account too :'D but I did like this more than Degeneration! already the fact that Leon has actual facial expressions is enough to put it way above that one. (and for the record, I don't hate Degeneration either, I do like it, but... Leon is such a cardboard cutout with zero personality in it, it's super frustrating)

idk I think I need to still process this a bit to see how I will like it in the end :'D there are things i'm super hyped about in it, and things i'm disappointed in, let's see how they'll weigh in the overall experience eventually.
