!!!~Fic Recs~!!!

I thought I would put together a post with some of my absolute favorite ROTTMNT fics, because these sorts of posts made by authors I love have been what lead me to find them! So why not pay it forward and keep the hype up :) Also I'm intense about organization and archiving and making this record soothes me lmao.

In this post I'll be recommending completed multi-chapter fics. In no particular order, here they are:

Every Night the Longest Day by ashtreelane

-One of the first rottmnt fics I read. I think I maybe stayed up until ridiculous hours reading this. one of those reads that is An Experience. The way that the brothers care for one another is so tangible. The author's conveyance of dissociation/mental fatigue is so interesting and engaging.

KOSMARA by MagpieCrown

-A fic I'll be thinking about for a long, long time. Takes everything I love about the Bad Future and makes it even more bittersweet. The relationships between the characters are what sticks with me like knives in the heart, but the worldbuilding is also so clear (I can see so many settings in my mind's eye so easily! and they're inventive as well!) and the action/climax is incredibly intense. Moreover, the way some characters are never present in the narrative but have such a Presence... not one but two "haunts the narrative" vibes... oh wow. It's really just masterful.

The Call Back Home by @gooseinsurance

-The concept at the center of this fic's narrative is soooo interesting and cool to me!! I think about it, like, all the damn time. One of those ideas that you pick up and stare at in awe and file away into your personal understanding of canon forevermore. On top of that, the frustration you feel at the character conflicts is just palpable. It's heart-wrenching. Moreover, the way the author handles what I suppose could be classified as psychological horror is commendable and was invigorating and chilling to experience as a reader.

Under Pressure by ParvumAutomaton

-I never thought anyone could ever get me to read something about cave diving. Much less horror in a cave diving setting. That sounds like my worst nightmare lmao. And yet. I am so freaking glad I gave this fic a chance. It is one of my all-time favorites, and I know it will live in my brain rent-free for a long time. Leo's characterization and the way he handles scenarios is so realistic and feels so him. Moreover, the way the narrative unfolds and the pacing are so well-done. I could not stop reading. (And for those of you still squeamish about cave diving, there is less time spent underwater than you'd think!)

The Corner Store by KicsterAsh

-A turtle tots fic!! A rare feel-good recommendation from me with littel angst and much comfort and sweetness. I love the speculative biology of mutant turtles in the cold (brumation?! oh no!) so to see a take on it that is so wholesome and charming and well-written was very happy-making for me.

Hollow Mind by paperxcrowns @crows-murder

-Something grimmer than I would have thought I would like, but what really sucked me in is the way this is totally deserving of that tour de force description reviewers like to use so much. It introduces something that is missing from canon but could slot in easily in a darker tone: human experimentation/capture, gun-weilding agents, and separation from family/being stranded and running for your life. All in all it has a very Jason Bourne feel to it that I never thought I would love to see enacted with the turtles, but my gosh it works and works so well.

I wasn't sure which authors had accounts on here or not, so if I've missed you/you know the author's @, please let me know and I'll update the post!

skord skord?

Ah yes, another overhated Zelda game that is in my top three. I’ve played this game on the switch and I will say, it’s so much better than the Wii, so if you haven’t played it yet, try to play it on the switch.

Anyways this is one of the few video games that have made me cry. The story is so good and it makes me SUPER emotional. The Link is probably one of the few Links with so much personality poured into him, his relationship with Zelda is super sweet and fun, and the characters and world of skyloft is incredible. The side quests for gratitude crystals is not only wholesome but gets you closer with the residents, so it feels like an island where you grew up with these people. There’s so much to do in this game and I just… AGH I adore it to DEATH.

Groose is easily one of the best characters in Zelda with his incredible development. He’s so complex and insecure about himself and seeing him work through his issues in the game and become good friends with Link is so incredibly wholesome to me. Impa is a strict but sexy awesome character who’s entire story and character is insane to me.

And Fi… she is such an overhated character. Link in this story is super animated and full of personality meanwhile Fi is cold and distant, and these two complement each other so well. And even though she seems to lack personality, she has some moments here and there where she’s being a character, and those moments are amazing. Her saying goodbye to Link affected me more than Midna because you could just feel the bittersweetness. This character is with you through every game with the master sword. And despite not feeling emotions, Fi was happy with Link, and she truly cared about him, just like he cares about her. And I sob everytime. I love Fi she’s one of my favorite companions ever and I wish she wasn’t hated on so much because she doesn’t deserve it.

And let’s not forget Ghirahim, one of my fav characters of all time. He’s such a fascinating and well written villain who rivals Link perfectly! And most bosses in this game are relatively easy to me. But Ghirahim is one of the few bosses that is very hard. He’s not one of those villains that talk a lot of crap and then die in five seconds. He’s a challenge! You’re definitely inexperienced and he’s clearly just toying with you in the beginning! He actually works hard against you in this game instead of sitting around, and the final battle with him, he is truly giving his all, regretting not killing you in the beginning. When he said “what are you?” To Link after being defeated is INCREDIBLE. There was actually a character analysis about him and Groose so I really can’t talk about their characters without talking for five years lol. But yeah, Ghirahim is a GOOD character. And he actually succeeds in what he’s doing! He revives his master! That’s how you know that he’s a genuine threat! Gosh he’s so good

Now for the flaws, alas. The sky isn’t the best? The loftwings are underutilized (Link’s loftwing isn’t even named :/), the world is very small and limited (except for Lanayru, they put all their good ideas into there fr), and there’s a lot of fluff. Like hunting down the song of the hero is just unnecessary to me. Faron is an idiot for not trusting you despite saving her life, then Eldin is just, completely forgettable, and Lanayru is fine. I just don’t like the song of the hero part that much. But of course when you unlock it, that cut scene is incredible.

Another thing is Demise. He sucks. He’s such a boring character to me and he’s way too easy as a final boss fight. Like you see Ghirahim giving his all and then demise just dies immediately 💀💀 but the final boss is the most cinematic boss fight ever so that def is a plus. And I also don’t like the introduction of Hylia. She makes the lore so much more boring and confusing and I wish she didn’t exist. Same thing with demise. Having them there was… a choice that was made and doesn’t answer any questions about Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. Heck, Ganondorf really shouldn’t be included with them. Sure he’s a reoccurring villain, but he’s the same guy everytime, he’s never reincarnated like Link and Zelda. Unless you want to count that as Ganon but I don’t like that whole idea. Idk, it complicates the lore a bit and I can understand why people didn’t like that.

But otherwise a fantastic game that impacted me SO much.

[sunmoonjune]

Oh my gosh I can’t believe I’m so late to the party but I finally had time to read Spring Tides and ohhhhhhh myyyy gosh!!!!

1. I’ve missed your universe so much! I’m about to reread all of ltm again because I’ve missed it so much and this was such a wonderful treat that I didn’t realize I needed!

2. Wooyoung finally got rid of the shackle! I’m so happy to see the little sunshine finally put it behind him and be free! He absolutely deserves it!

3. Man, tattooed Ateez really is my weakness I loved hearing about what tattooed they all have! I love how they’re connected to each other (or they’re not and I’m horribly wrong) like it’s so adorable and wholesome!

4. I love love LOVE Bug talking more and getting used to her voice again! The way you talk about her voice getting better and her getting used to it more made me smile so big my cheeks hurt. The sound I let out when she laughed and took her mask off wasn’t human I swear! I was so happy to see it and it’s so deserved! Bug deserves all the happiness in the world and I’m happy she has Ateez to bring her that happiness.

You have once again done such an amazing job with writing and I really hope life is treating you well! 💖💖

Also I saw your author’s note and could I please be added to the tag list? If not that’s completely fine! Thank you in advance! 💖💖💖💖

omg spooky!! it's been a while lovely I'm so glad to see your user in my inbox <33

hehe I'm so happy you liked spring tides and another look into the ltm universe! I too was missing bug and the boys so I was very excited to release it <3

yes!! woo gets rid of the shackle! this is technically a bit of a spoiler but I couldn't help but throw it into the oneshot too see how many ppl would notice OoO but it will be addressed in the future >:)

tattooed atz!! I actually had all their tattoos planned from the beginning of atz (except a few) and just... forgot to write about them tbh xD but yes!! a bunch of their tattoos are linked to each other! ESP woosan (their matching tattoos in ltm drive me and loren BONKERS I swear we talked about them for like two whole days) but every member of atz has some kind of tattoo in ltm and I'll start slipping in references to them as the story goes on xD

bug using her voice <33 I didn't want to jump straight into her using it completely because I honestly see her continuing to use the language of touch and sign more commonly than her voice since she's spent a significant portion of her life selectively mute,, but I also wanted to show that with a lot of time and healing, being able to speak was something she became more comfortable with <3 she truly does deserve the world tho omg I've never loved one of my own characters more <3 :")

I'm so so happy you liked the oneshot!! It makes my day to get asks like this so thank you so much dear <33 and I think you're already on my taglist for ltm! unless I'm mistaken (I could be its been a long time :')) ) if you didn't get tagged when spring tides came out let me know and I'll see if I messed it up!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Review

Oh. My. Gosh.

Plot: Miles Morales catapults across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. When the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must redefine what it means to be a hero.

2018′s Into the Spider-Verse was a surprising hit that featured some of the most amazing animation ever put to screen, as well as being not only one of the best Spidey films, but also one of the top comic-book movies of all time. Additionally the inclusion of Nicolas Cage propelled that film to all kinds of new heights! Now following a successful box office run of that movie and a well deserved Academy Award win for Best Animated Feature, the first of two sequels is gracing our screens, and I am always weary when it comes to sequels to great movies, as one wonders if the creative team can retain the magic from the original.

At this point there should be a rule made in Hollywood to never bet against the duo that are Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Every time we find ourselves shocked whenever films involving these two come out and end up being some of the most superb cinema experiences. 22 Jump Street - a hilarious comedy. The Lego Movie - a uniquely animated movie that turns out to be much more than a simple cash-grab. Mitchells vs. the Machines - again another ground-breaking animation style with a wholesome story of family in the middle of it. Cocaine Bear - it’s a movie about a bear on cocaine, need I say more?! The list goes on, these two consistently deliver quality content and we should learn to accept this. So with Across the Spider-Verse I am happy to report that it’s another hit from these producers/writers, however not only is it a hit, it may just be a bloody masterpiece!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is, put simply, brilliant! It’s everything that made Into the Spider-Verse great dialled up even more, and the result is honestly fantastic. Look, I watch a lot of movies. And yeah, movies are great and I love them deeply. But in watching so many films I have in a way lost that magic of being in awe every time I go to the cinema. Cliches and repetitiveness in films stick out like sore thumbs to me. However with Across the Spider-Verse I felt like a kid again, purely stunned in amazement at every single frame, engaged with the characters and story-line, not knowing where it will go next. Like I cannot reiterate how much fun I had watching this movie!

The animation...where do I begin? This is a gorgeous movie that retains that graphic novel look from the first movie, however due to the narrative being set in various universes, the animation team go a step further by having each reality animated in a different way. There are so many various art-styles used, and each one is absolutely gorgeous. Yet it never comes off as pretentious, instead all used in benefit of the story. There’s a certain sequence involving two characters having a dramatic emotional exchange of dialogue, and the use of watercolours and the changes in the background as the emotion changes throughout that scene was honestly some of the best and most powerful piece of animation I’ve ever seen. Not only the animation though, but the music. The music!!! Anyone seen that meme online featuring a guy playing a piano that’s on fire? Well that’s how hard composer Daniel Pemberton went with the musical score of this film. The way it amplified the action, embodied the tenderness of the emotional scenes, and played up to each character’s unique style, the music and sound design were absolutely spectacular! From a technical standpoint Across the Spider-Verse is a marvel.

There’s a lot of going on in this movie. It’s relentlessly fast paced, with lines of dialogue spilling out like Niagara falls and so many jokes, Easter Eggs and references thrown all at once that it’s easy to miss things on your first viewing. So I imagine this movie will serve well as a rewatchable one, so that you can catch the details you’ve missed before. However through all this content thrown at you at 100 miles per our the movie never forgets to stay focused on telling its story, and fleshing out all the main characters. And yes, there are lots of characters in this movie, yet every single one feels unique with many layers, and that’s due to the writing and the superb voice cast. Shameik Moore is freaking amazing as Miles Morales. That tone of vulnerability, this maturity but still immaturity cascading and once more evolving the character from the first film... you can’t help but root for him and also believe in him. Hailee Steinfeld is wonderful as Gwen Stacy, that is both vulnerable yet strong, trying to navigate her way through life whilst dealing with the dysfunctional relationship with her dad and having to be the hero she is meant to be. Also it’s always impressive when actors can portray good chemistry using only their voices, yet Moore and Steinfeld have that to a tee. Oscar Isaac (who was but only teased in the credits scene of the first film) is appropriately moody with a dark edge, showing hurt, anger and fire in every line he delivers as the anti-hero Miguel. Jason Schwartzman as Spot has that usual comedic every-guy demeanour to him, however his character is then revealed to be more reckless than expected, and Schwartzman is easily believable as the psychotic villain wanting to dominate to prove his worth. Brian Tyree Henry as Miles’ dad, Daniel Kaluuya as a punk Brit Spidey, Shea Whigham as Gwen’s father....the list goes on. Honestly every member of the voice cast does incredible work. You end up caring for these characters, and are fully invested in them.

In terms of negatives there aren’t really many. I’d say to the beginning the movie focuses a little too much on exposition of bringing everyone up to speed on the events of the first movie, and I’m just there like “I’ve seen the first movie, get on with it already!” and also the fast pace delivery means certain lines of dialogue are thrown so quickly they are easily missed, yet again though, I feel that in rewatching the film multiple times I will find enjoyment it catching out those missed details. In the end though, Across the Spider-Verse is a fantastic Part 1 to a story that is left at an expected cliff-hanger ready to be picked up by next year’s Beyond the Spider-Verse, however as a middle movie of a trilogy it stands strong along the likes of Empire Strikes Back or The Two Towers, in that it continues to flesh out the characters in a meaningful and powerful way, the animation and music is ridiculously good, and overall it’s one of the best superhero films I have ever seen. Also, it manages to deliver the idea of a multiverse much better than anything the MCU is currently attempting to do, so yep, also a solid multiverse movie. There’s plenty of fan-service thrown in throughout though I never thought it felt forced, and overall this is simply superb filmmaking. Can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse!

Overall score: 9/10

The Starry Love ep 27, 28 thoughts

Chaofeng is leaving to protect Qingkui and co. I hate to say I told you, but…

Yetan wants to become the consort that Youqin deserves BUT she already is the consort he wants. And what's better is: he knows she's bored and doesn't want her to waste her time with reading and being couped up in her hall all day.

Even I know that going back to the Void for Chaofeng is stupid. At least bring Haichou with you, Qingkui!

Wudai is back! Or I should say we're back to seeing Wudai! He may be the Void first prince, but he's honorable at least. And fun.

Qingkui marches into the Void LIKE A BOSS, straight up tells Chaofeng "you shouldn't have abandoned me" and tells the Void king everything is his fault. Oh my gosh. Our Disney princess has been replaced with a badass warrior! I love it!

The "have you ever" game could have been cute , but it takes a dark turn and instead of having a good time Youqin realizes that the woman he loves has had a terrible life in the mortal realm. And what's even sadder is she isn't revealing her dark past to make him sad, but to get these meaningless items. Just watch as he goes from shock to realization. And there is no nice way to say: Honey, that's enough of all the bad shit that's happened to you.

Chaofeng's tears move me. Everytime he's cried it's been for Qingkui. He cried when they broke up and he cried when she proposed. I initially put him down as a liar and a schemer (he still is), but he has a heart.

Our Void couple got married! Yay!! I love a secret wedding. I love a wedding that is done in desperation even more and the prison adds a certain layer of desperation that I like. It's a good aesthetic to their "love me and I'll die with you" vibe they have going.

Insert me into this drama as the Heavenly Paparazzo/ Gossip Queen: Did you hear what Qingheng said about his brother? He's 'inseparable from his consort'?! Ahh. Will we see little immortal babies running around before long?

Queen Beastie is here (I have missed her) and she's sending her boy to school! But the best part: she's doing it to get a daughter-in-law! She knows what her boy needs! An education in love! And it's so great that he's moved on from Yetan and is now actively pursuing Ziwu.

Youqin being antsy and anxious without Yetan around makes me giddy. He needs a project and torturing that poor general with all that homework is not enough for him. The boy spent 1500 years being busy training and suddenly needs something to do….and bothering his girlfriend seems to be the only answer.

Ladies, learn from Chaofeng's mama. She was stern with the rod but was gentle with the peace talks. And who walked away with a smile? Her.

So wholesome! Haichou running around the Cave of Haunted Souls yelling that his friend has been pardoned. He's so excited he can't hold it in.

The spear and sword decorative display outside a health clinic is a tad alarming. It's like having guns and drugs decorating a hospital. Oh, it's Wudai's decorating. Never mind. That makes sense.

Wudai and the snake lady?! Oh I ship it.

Those two lovebirds flirting across the classroom like they haven't already pledged their hearts to each other, and he's literally given his life for her twice. It's almost like they're a normal teenage couple.

First, the flirty dance fight which reminds me of episode 1 when they were dodging Chaofeng's sword whip. THEN they're both horny, but true to Youqin he wants to keep to the rules (though he secretly wants to kiss her) and true to Yetan, she wants him to kiss her passionately.

Uh oh. Manman found Yetan's stash of Heavenly Viagra. She knows what's up.

The star spell was just foreplay. The real show in the sky was Youqin and Yetan giving in to their celestial passions. And what a beautiful display it was.

So Hushui is from that bad, bad tribe that did bad, bad things from so long ago, but that tribe is not as bad as everyone thought. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd like to reference to both Love between Fairy and Devil and the Rise of Phoenixes.

If you want to know how I got this point, checkout more of my thoughts:

wholesomeness meme

i get annoyed by how bad i think some series i enjoy are but i dont like those moments that are trash and dont think they deserve the attention so instead have my most good vibes ey moments from things i could think of rn lol

the losh scene in ouas: this short had no right to be as awesome as it was. this scene was so well and fun-ly animated im losing it

nwh saving the villains: moments of movies that live rent free in my head i appreciate this so much.

losh updates in florida: let me in let me in!!!!!

screaming incoherently: i love this a lot. awesome af.

the other witw/losh cameos in ouas: beautiful. wonderful. keep on doin what youre doin

nwh in general: heavy wepons guy voice i love this movie

schubby festival (+ sendai live): loid events are few and far between but every time i have a reason to scream abt my favorite lab experiment composers i will be

guifei wanting to play a trio w the boys: so far the only character to have voice lines w them and not act like a creep. looks pointedly. anyways a good person and i appreciate her. pls come home

caro making lotr memes: caro deserves better. its also cute the two lute buddies are next to each other lol

senpai in ouas: he had a small role but its adorable. honestly this would be higher? idk. maybe this is just ouas in general bc there were a lot of genuinely wholesome moments (there were some bad ones but eh im not here for that lol)

the ending of k h 3: let -clap emoji- these -clap emoji- kids -clap emoji- eat -clap emoji- ice cream -clap emoji-

i am physically upset we dont get more shit like this in the series: ok the rage starts to show. im a little spiteful or more than before but this is still good af

cyrano being sexy and charly being wholesome: this was by far one of the best white days, probably on par with the like. gang roleplay with izou. cyrano is by far the best design the game has had in years

poke mon s v having such a banger main plot: compared to the previous one which just wasnt for me s v just hit me hard. i am not immune to silly sandwich lizard bike or wholesome slow burn friendship story. the only reason i think its lower is bc there were some aspects of the dlc that really turned me off, and i feel like souered a really good, pretty much perfect original story. also given that principal clavell is my favorite character since sub mas that really says something : )

beli voice lines in the museum and q pot: these are only lower bc im more angry at why we cant get this sort of good content. caro's thing just fricking punched me in the gut with the memes, but bel is cute af in these and i like him just being a nuisance and weirdo : )

seithr king dom hearts ing that shit: this is why youre very high tier, i love that you stood up for what you believed in and went against the main characters and their flawed beliefs in order to save people you cared abt (aka. alternate timeline versions of yourself). thats the good shit thats what im here for!!

lunar new year events in i dv: gosh i love these. the older men characters are your friends, and theres more focus on a variety of characters that isnt all negative like in the main canon. more of this pls.

hans being freed for the ending of the short: idk. i feel like the people in this short had more heart than most of the people who worked specifically for his movie/that crowd, which is why the usual abuse scene was a haha funny star wars joke and he got free at the end. also folklore bros i want to believe -prayer hands-

this tickles me a little: honestly this series is already so good or hasnt let me down yet so im happy and very touched but not like. foaming at the mouth like some of the others.

t f 2 resurgance by voice actors: i appreciate this so much yall are so wholesome. wish i lived closer id love to play meme songs for you sometime

tw st having good writing and letting the boys be silly boys: i love how the guys share brain cells and are like the embodiment of that vine with the shirtless guys jumping about the speaker. thats why i love them and why i got into the series

gin is alive: good for him!!! im so glad he isnt dead!!!! this was really nice but i feel like ive not been following as long as the hardcore fans but im still so happy, i was worried abt him. good hes ok. pls thrive my boi.

aladar in ouas: my friend!!!! this tickled me so much. thank u ppl who made this for being actually cool.

cameos in the void plot: i thought this was really sweet! very lore much yes! so far im enjoying this story and am trying to be hopeful. idk the more recent plot stuff (like idk. 10ish years back to now?) hasnt hit as hard as the stuff when i was like 10 yrs old but ill be hopeful :)

[catravandece]

I have so many bridgerton thoughts i need to shit them out or else im gonna explode so spoilers

first up- the negs 👎

jesus fuckign christ i HATED the costumes this season. H A T E D. the extras looked more regency than the mains and that was literally the only thing keeping me in the mindset that this was actually 1815. ""historical accuracy"" is a beast on its own but the whole appeal of the regency romance genre is the /regency/ of it all. bweeeehhhhhh

speaking of regency-ness did we just like, throw all conventions of social ruin out the window? where are the chaperones? the tension-driving rules of polite society that makes transgressing it all the more fulfilling??

i got such whiplash from these timelines, maybe at one point ill write down all the things that made me go ?????? but for now please know that i am Deeply Confused

the fact that they shuffled off kanthony twice in the same season is absolutely hilarious. if the series continues all the way through to hyacinth and gregory i expect the cast list will be 4 people and an old sears mannequin alskdjbcnekjdfskl

CRESSIDA DESERVED BETTERRRRRRRRRRR CRENELOISE 5EVER WHY DID THEY ABANDON HER SOFTENING ARC IM SO UPSET SOMEONE GO SAVE HER

ok now the nices👍

i was totally prepared for there to be no queerness this season so to be slapped with the one-two punch of both bi benedict and Michaela Fucking Stirling girls i am EATINGGGGG

nicola coughlan truly does have perfect breasts and honestly her being naked on screen was the best gd part of this season. gimme gimme more pls do not banish her and colin to the shadow realm i mean married babymaking dimension

phillipa yelling about the bugs was so gosh dang cute and wholesome i love her shes my scrimblo bimbo

and as much as i hated the sillhouette of the costumes i did enjoy the colors, i am always a sucker for gauzey pastels

[what-if-nct]

hiiii today's reminder is i know I've been missing for a second, hi how are you i hope you're doing so so so great and that you feel how loved you are. I'm in the metro right now with a bouquet of roses for my boyfriend and we're gonna book a vacation and i guess what i mean to say is things are stressful still but life is pretty good

also i keep having dreams we're baking together and i love them, i always wake up feeling so comforted

Hii! And I always figure life is being life when I don't hear from you in awhile and despite it being stressful I'm glad you still have lovely moments to look forward to sprinkleed into the hectic parts to make it just that bit easier and happier. And I am sending you much good energy and hope that the stress subsides even more. And I hope you have a wonderful and amazing vacation with your boyfriend. You definitely deserve the getaway and the fun that'll come with it. And I can't wait to hear about it after. And how lovely, bringing roses to your boyfriend. He is so lucky to have you.

And I'm doing fine, I finally got my hair to the color I wanted. even though I have people who could have helped me and I shouldn't have did what I did, but I did learn from my mistakes. I tried to do my hair a way that would make me more palatable when I hated it, the extensions pulled out so much hair and getting the color out caused so much breakage. Plus my hair previously was healthy and just needed one dye job to get where it is now but it took three dye jobs and two color removers to get here. And I know it sounds superficial, cause it is but it did teach a bigger lesson of stop trying to be what people want me to be. Cause everyday I'm around people and think there's something wrong with me and people dont like me but I just can't keep trying to change myself.

But on a lighter note I got the Ay-yo album and I got Johnny's poster! I put him right above my bed with the Lana del Rey poster from her CD, which the actual CD is absolutely gorgeous it's beautiful. And awww oh my gosh I love that we've been baking in your dreams recently , that's so wholesome and sweet. I hope our dream worlds cross and I can experience the dreams myself they sound so wonderful.

All The Young Dudes-Review Part 2

I finished the fic the last. I will be honest ,I read it for two main reasons:

I really wanted to know why people like this fic so much and the impact it has had on the fandom

I wanted to understand why I dislike it so much

The second one was my motivation to read (listen to) the first 100 chapters or so,after that, the first reason was why I finished it,otherwise I would not have done it.

I obsessed with knowing why I was dissatisfied with the fic,in addition with the reasons I already explained in the first review. There was something that I couldn't put my finger on that annoyed me,until it finally clicked,this fic tells and do not show.

I have several examples of this but the most simple one is the map. At first Remus creates this normal map to not get lost,right? After that the other three found out and got the idea of The Marauders Map,at that moment I was excited to see how they create it. Well,we did not get that. The next time they talk about the map,it is already done,all of it! How? When? Who the fuck knows! You just have to accept it. It was reaaaaly infuriating!

Another example is the Marauders themselves,and here I also want to talk about the obvious bias against some characters that the author clearly has.

The Marauders were supposed to have this super close, wholesome friendship,but here Remus just repeats over and over again how much they mean to him but we almost never see him interacting with them happily because he is mopping,fighting,screaming or angry about something they say/do/have and that he doesn't ,it could be money/family/status/legacy. Is annoying to read to be honest.

James' whole personality (at least from Remus pov) is that he likes quidditch and Lily and after that is he likes Lily and quidditch and that's it,nothing more. How am I supposed to believe that he is important to Remus if James has been a two-dimensional character for the past 10 years?

The worst case is Peter. Gosh,his character situation is kinda hilarious. Since Remus first interaction with Pete,Remus only thinks of him as an idiot and annoying,and treats him the same way,if they interact of course,because Peter is there but Remus makes zero efforts to befriend him. Big narrative mistake. Worst is that after the graduation I can count on my fingers the times Peter is mentioned or interacted with,and I am pretty sure that I will not be using all of them,no joking.

The problem comes in the "betray", because upon hearing of the deaths of his friends, Remus literally says "oh brave, brave Peter",no gonna lie ,I literally laughed out loud,it was hilarious. Now it turns out that Remus loved him and thought of him as smart,brave and a nice,brilliant person . Like , you have to be fucking kidding me.

Also,the whole betrayal plot was really stupid,or at least makes every character look that way. The Order are like "oh there is an spy,and we narrowed it down to James or his friends. The options are:

James and Sirius who are most of the time together doing missions

Remus who is at his house all day or doing missions

Peter,who constantly disappears,makes excuses about it and does not interac with his friends that much anymore

Blimey,who could it be?"

Honestly you all deserved to die for being so dumb.

Another examples of bias against a character is Regulus. Like,most of his screen time (which is limited) he is an asshole,but what pissed me off was not that,it was his death. In the newspaper was the news of his death and it was mentioned that Regulus was really smart and a promising quidditch player (stuffs that are facts) and then Remus thought those were lies and Regulus was just average, but he supposed they have to make him see better than he was because of his family. I was like "wtf,why would you say that?" Remus is just an asshole for no reason.

The other example is Albus. He is cruel just because,and Remus despites him. If you read the books you know this is waaaaay too wrong. Like,if Albus is as evil as this fic says,why would he reach out to Remus family,helping them get Remus to Hogwarts,changing stuff at school and taking all means necessary for him to finish his studies?

But this answered some stuff that have been bugging me ever since I interacted with the fandom. Now I know where the romanticization of smoking or the idea that Albus is this evil old man come from.

Lastly,the relation with Sirius reminds me to a Wattpad fic. The fight and they fuck,they fight and they fuck, and after that they fight and they fuck. Everytime Remus thinks of what he likes about Sirius, he thinks about his face,how hot he is or something similar. It is never about his personality ,or hobbies,or ambitions,or something that is not his appearance. I do not even know if Remus know that information about Sirius. Everything is toxic af,and again,it makes no sense why Sirius thinks Remus is the spy if Remus is all the time in their house.

In conclusion,I think the fic became so popular because at the time there was not other long fics so people loved it,but being long doesn't mean that is a masterpiece. Is just ok ,to me. The characterization being the worst part of it,like a 1/10 and it had some plot wholes like Remus drinking butter bear for the first time twice,or funny stuff like when Albus told them Dorcas was death and everyone was like "oh ,no...anyway...", and stuff like that. I am also very disappointed of the lack of the Triwizard Tournament. I was waiting,and waiting,and waiting for it and when I realized they were graduating. At least now I know what you all are talking about when you mention the fic.

Okay, I had a really cute idea- Kiritsuyu making jello jigglers together

Tsu loves jello, and this is the perfect opportunity both to have fun making a sweet treat to share with class 1-A, and to spend time with Kiri

They make two big batches, one cherry and one watermelon, because 1. yummy, and 2. red and green like their hair!

Kiri isn’t confident in his cooking skills, and he feels a little silly for not knowing his way around something as simple as jello, but Tsu is patient and guides Kiri through every step like the mom friend she is, and they both end up having a lovely time cooking together

Especially when it’s time to cut the jello into shapes!

They borrow lots of cute cookie cutters from Satou

After cutting out some animal shapes, they get a little silly and start playing with them

They giggle as they make watermelon turtles swim in the air

And then Tsu makes a cherry shark...

“Look, Kirishima-chan, it’s you!”

Without missing a beat, Kiri makes a watermelon frog

“And this is you!”

Then they boop the frog and shark together

That gets a few eyerolls from some of the kids in the common room, but a couple of them softly “aww”

After that, Kiri and Tsu get a little carried away making comparisons of their other friends

Kiri making a watermelon bunny: “Look, it’s Midoriya!”

Tsu making a cherry octopus: ““And Shouji-chan!”

The kitchen is filled with giggles

At some point, Tsu boops Kiri’s nose, and it makes him blush

Tsu teases him by holding up a cherry jiggler and saying “hehe, your face is the color of this jello, kero~”

Kiri hides his eyes under his headband, a dopey grin on his face- Tsu is just too cute for his heart to handle

Tsu touches a finger to her chin and smiles- Kiri is so adorable when he’s shy

She takes it a step further by making a cherry heart and showing it to him

Kiri smiles and responds by making two cherry hearts

Then Tsu makes three, and Kiri make four...

Before they know it, they’ve used up all the cherry jello

When they’re done making shapes, they cut up the leftover jello to make parfaits

They get the class together to enjoy the treats they’ve made, and it’s a big hit with everyone!

Kiri and Tsu sit across from each other to eat their parfaits, and Tsu giggles because Kiri got some whipped cream on his nose

She instinctively reaches out to thumb the cream off his nose, and it’s only after the fact that she realizes how... tenderly she was touching his face

There’s a moment of blushy awkwardness between the two of them, until Kiri breaks the tension with laughter

Kiri: “I have a napkin right here, you know!”

Tsu: “Force of habit, kero... I do that to my brother and sister all the time.”

Kiri doesn’t mind at all, though- in fact, he thinks it’s cute ^u^

All in all, the two of them have had a very pleasant day together <3

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Hello! If that's alright with you, I would to send in a request! Can I send in Heist!Mark with a bubbly enthusiastic reader? They trusts Mark so much that they're willing to go on a heist with him! Mark just looks at them lovingly and is taken back while they're doing the heist. He thinks like "why do they want to do this with me

So yeah continuing the last ask I sent

Mark thinks like "why do they want to do a heist with me?? They're so cute, nice, bubbly-" just very wholesome bubbly fluff! Could be cuter if it's friends to lovers! Anyway, sorry for accidentally sent in when it wasn't finished hahAH. Thank you if you do this!! Love your writings so much!

( ps. I was the anon that said I found you by your Markiplier stuff! I would like to be 🍪anon if that's alright! Thank you so much dude! )

Yeah, dude!

......

At first, Mark's very surprised that you immediately agreed to the heist. I mean, you agree to a lot of his crazy ideas but he didn’t say where or even what he planned to steal.

But he shrugs it off. “Okay so you'll need this, this, this, this, aaaaand this!" He hands you a list of stuff and shows you the plans.

The next day you show up to base with everything you needed.

"Wow you're more eager than I am....I like that!"

When you break into the museum later that night and sneak around, he’s trying to impress you with ninja skills, but can’t help but be amazed by everything you do--from the seriousness in your eyes as you create a distraction for the guards to your confidence and stealthiness. You’re like a pro.

He still wonders why you agreed to this. You’re no criminal! You’re too nice, friendly, bubbly....and cute-

That last bit makes him trip over his own boots and fall into a pile of boxes for the umpteenth time.

Yeah he might’ve fallen for you (quite literally so) but tries focusing on the mission.

Even when you both reach the vault you insist he gets the ancient box. “You planned all of this so you deserve to take the prize.”

“Our prize.” He corrects you, grinning as he finally snatches it. “Gosh, we make such a great team-”

Of course it’s a short-lived victory when the alarms go off and you two make your (rather chaotic) getaway in a car.

The next morning he makes you breakfast to show his appreciation...and also because he wants to confess something before you two hit the road.

“You know I’ve been thinking a lot about how close we’ve been. And...while we may be partners-in-crime, I hope we could be..uh....partners for..life? Like..going on dates and all that?”

“.........”

“...nevermind that was stupid. Excuse me while I shut up for the rest of eternity.” And he proceeds to hit his head on the steering wheel, but you sit up and stop him from doing that a second time.

“Mark, that’s the sweetest thing ever. I've felt the same way for a while but I didn’t wanna bring it up yet.”

“...s-so that’s a yes?”

“Yes.” You chuckle.

He looks back at you, beaming brighter than the morning sun. “Great! I’m happy.”

In his mind he’s already making plans for a first date.

[citronsblog]

Since you're okay with writing something for my birthday, could you write some non-despair relationship headcanons for Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko, Ultimate Imposter and Teruteru with introvert s/o? Of course you don't have to write for every character (but please write for Kazuichi 🙏)

Notes:EVERYONE TELL THEM HAPPY BIRTHDAY RN 😡(also I hit 100 <3 I love you all!)

Warnings: none!

Characters: Kazuichi Soda, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Teruteru Hanamura, Ultimate Imposter

Kazuichi Soda

Oh boy, this man will love on you 24/7

Kazuichi understands that you don’t really like to go and meet new people, honestly he is afraid of judgment from others so he doesn’t talk to many people either, but he will bring you outside to secluded areas to have picnics or just to be outside and away from others <3

Sometimes he will drag you to places you don’t want to go to but you always end up having a lot of fun!

He’s a big show off around you, you’re already impressed enough that he’s able to bring you places. He makes you feel so special and loved though so you can’t hate him

“S/o! Look! Heh, I made you this… hope you like it!”

“Kaz :) I love it! And you of course!”

Oh my gosh please if you are comfortable shower with him. He thinks it’s really romantic, you would do it to make sure he doesn’t smell like oil, it’s a win/win if you ask me

Loves being the little spoon, he likes to be able to curl up with you while you play with his hair. He feels so relaxed in your arms :).

Steal one of his beanies and he will be so happy! He thinks it cute when you wear some of his things

Oh my gosh kazuichi is super clingy and when he sleeps with you he will hold on to your waist. Super cute but he’s like a furnace because he is naturally always hot warm, it helps in the winter though.

He will take your phone and just take photos of himself so you have them

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu

Fuyuhiko doesn’t get why you just don’t go out that much, his thought process is like;

‘Just go out 🤨 it’s not that hard.’

Like Fuyuhiko yes honey it is, still love him though.

He will think it’s weird at first but then will adapt to it. Fuyuhiko will try to take you to some places but he won’t force you, the last thing he wants is his s/o to feel uncomfortable around him.

When you two don’t go out he will just have long and deep conversations with you, cause let’s be honest small talk is boring and having long sentimental conversations with him really let’s him open up and be honest with you

Ohh! Learn how to bake him sweets and he will be on one knee proposing to you

Please let him be the big spoon, he just wants to feel tough for you :)

Also tell Fuyuhiko how much you are thankful for having him, he loves you so much but sometimes he needs to be reminded that you love him too

Teruteru Hanamura

This man is a big supporter! He doesn’t mind that you don’t like going out or socializing!

You don’t want to go out to eat? Great! He doesn’t want to take you cause he can just cook for you! Don’t want to meet someone? That’s a-ok! He wanted to stay inside and cuddle! You want to go out but not be near a crowded area? His hometown is small, peaceful, and near the country side!

He likes to hear your voice, it’s like a soft melody to him. Please rant to him about your interest, he loves that so much

Oooo Teruteru is a total sucker for romance movies, have a movie night with him and you guys can talk, make jokes, and just bask in each other’s company!

Teruteru will compliment you all the time! Get ready for a confidence boost because he is your go-to hype man!

If you guys ever have a picnic please make him a flower crown, he will be so happy. Most definitely will take a selfie with you and him wearing a flower crown. He will send it to his mama ;)

Cloud watching? Cloud watching.

It’s the small things you two do together that he just adores

Ultimate Imposter

They’re pretty softly spoken when they’re not impersonating someone, so they completely understand if you have a quiet voice or don’t want to speak all the time

Does enjoy the things you guys do talk about!

Help them find more things about themselves, they will be so happy!

Maybe cook for them once in awhile, even if you aren’t good at cooking they will love your food so much!

You want to do makeup? Well since makeup has no gender they will help ya! If you want to feel more confident and makeup is the way you do that they’re 100% supporting you!

Never doubt what you’re doing! They will always give you small pep talks and raise you to your highest self :) in their eyes you deserve the world and seeing you smile is what makes them smile

cuddles are so soft and wholesome

They will just hold you and whisper how great you are and how you have been so amazing to them!

Sometimes you will go on small nature walks and look at the scenery together <3

Rainy days are so fun together, if you want to play in the rain they’re all for that…. Just don’t get sick, they hate seeing you in pain ):

“Hey! Look at this cool rock I found!”

“Wow! I once took the identity of a geologist, if I remember correctly that looks like a anorthosite rock!”

“Oooo! Gah! That’s just so cool!”

[devorass]

Please for my poly heart, what would a relationship be like between MC xMuriel x Asra? I love the both of them so much and I wished they had a route. You can write however long it short and I'll still love it because it mountain man and the magician

this took so so long for me to get to aaa im sorry! i actually only just finished muriel's route and honestly same??? a poly route for them would make perfect sense and here's my two cents on it:

* Let's start with the obvious: THE CUDDLES. Gosh just-okay it'll be a feat to find a bed comfortable enough for all three but imagine having one big humongous pillow (aka Muriel) to koala-cling to in the middle of the night, AND a sweet fluffy Asra with a hand around your waist, his face on the nape of your neck? You will Not Experience True Comfort until you experience this cuddle-fest. I rest my case.

* Muriel doesn't want to go on a date? No problemo! You and Asra go to town, buy some fresh bread, stuff you know Muriel will enjoy, perhaps a gift for his hut, something to represent you in his cozy little space, and you take the date to him! Will he be a blushy mess, thanking you both in a whisper whilst he helps prepare the food and set the table? Yup! Will it be the most wholesome, adorable thing you've ever seen? YES!!

* Have you seen that tiktok trend, that's like 'using my bid scary dog privelege to walk alone and unbothered by anyone', but then they show their super cool looking SO? Yeah, that'd be you and Muriel...the scary one being Asra. He's a sweetheart, of course he is, but if someone so much as dares to look your way with a mean thought in their head, a simple, cold, menacing smile from Asra and a look of 'don't even try it' in his eye is more than enough to halt any malice that may come your way. Muriel greatly appreciates it, even if he doesn't say so.

* I can see so many fuzzy, warm homey scenarios of all three in the magic shop, Muriel upstairs tending to the stove salamander as you and Asra are downstairs talking with customers, doing readings and making potions.

* Muriel will come downstairs with fresh tea for you both, quiet and quick to give you your cup before going back upstairs, not particularly eager to talk to others. Yet you both appreciate the sentiment, the fresh, strong-brewed tea made exactly as you like it, as Muriel noticed you usually brew it.

* Also can we talk about the cuteness that'd be Faust and Inanna? The two curling up together by the fireplace to sleep, having entire conversations between them that none of you are privy to-if Asra asks Faust what they're chatting about she'll just go 'girl talk!' and stick her tongue out like she's teasing them. Just. Innana and Faust being besties. Love that :')

* Walking around the forest, hand in hand with Asra-Muriel's not often one for hand-holding, though he'll occasionally indulge you both, but walking with them, gathering up herbs and mushrooms, whilst Asra tells you stories of their childhood, Muriel grunting in response, blushing when Asra praises him for one thing or another-stealing glances at you to gage your reaction at the stories, turning away quickly enough that you (hopefully) didn't notice him looking.

* Just. Give us a poly route for these two please, they deserve it :')

somebody to you - hrj

somebody to you - renjun

behold,, the FINAL part of my nct dream x the vamps songs series! leaving y’all with something really wholesome and fluffy bc i’m inlove with renjun 

word count: 2.8k 

summary: huang renjun didn’t like relationships. he thought they were messy, and honestly, a waste of time. he had his whole life ahead of him, so why would he need a significant other to be happy? that was all until he met you, and thought to himself, maybe it wouldn’t be all bad...

read the rest here! 

//

I used to wanna be

Living like there's only me

But now I spend my time

Thinking 'bout a way to get you off my mind

renjun scrolled through his endless instagram feed, swiping through threads of his friends with their girlfriends. he would be lying if he said it didn’t make him

borderline sick. he was always a realist, never really seeing the point of having a serious relationship at such a young age. in his life so far, he’d probably say he’s only had one girlfriend, and it was a random girl he asked to prom so he wouldn’t feel left out. renjun was never opposed to love, he just wasn’t actively seeking it.

“dude i reckon you’re gonna like her! she’s super cool from the sounds of it, and she goes to our university!” haechan insists as the four boys sat down for dinner in their shared apartment.

“i don’t need you to set me up on a blind date. i’m capable of finding someone on my own, thank you very much” renjun rolled his eyes, fed up with the continuous discussions of his single status.

“yeah, and how’s that going for you?” jaemin chimed in, causing jeno and haechan to chuckle in response. renjun just scoffed, shoving his mouth with more food to avoid speaking further.

“give it a chance. the worst that could happen is that you don’t vibe with her and you never talk to her again” jeno tries his best to convince the stubborn boy. renjun just shrugs, his mind contemplating the idea.

“okay fine, one date. if you guys really think she’s soo good for me, let’s see how accurate you guys are” renjun snickers. he was not confident in their matchmaking skills at all, but he loved seeing them fail.

“perfect, i’ll set it up for you. just sit back, relax and be your boring self” haechan grins, tapping away on his phone. renjun ignores the cheeky boy’s comments, finishing up his dinner. his first date in over two years, this should be good...

I used to be so tough

Never really gave enough

And then you caught my eye

Giving me the feeling of a lightning strike

renjun was regretting this date already. all he knew about you was your first name and your uni course, nothing else. the boys had refused to show him any photos of you, claiming that it would be more ‘romantic’ if he fell for you at first sight...what a cliche, he thought to himself.

“how will i even know it’s her, if i don’t know what she freaking looks like?” renjun groaned, nerves slowly building up as haechan pulled up to the date location.

“i’ll point her out, okay? just trust me” renjun let out a short sigh, hands slightly jittery. why the hell was he nervous? it wasn’t like he was going to see her after this one date.

as renjun stepped out of the car, his eyes scanned the scenery.

“jeez, you guys really went all out for this date” he was amazed by the view. it was a restaurant that was by the water, multiple little boats sailing across it and the sounds of birds humming.

“of course, you only deserve the best” haechan winked, eyes looking for renjun’s date.

“dude what if she doesn’t even show up. does she even know what i look like?” renjun was slightly panicking at this point, drifting from his tough exterior.

“haechan?” a soft voice interrupted his thoughts. renjun’s eyes diverted to the owner of the voice. he felt stunned by the sight of you, dressed neatly in some jeans and a flowery blouse. you had slightly curled your hair, hands clutching to your purse as you greeted the two boys infront of you.

“hey y/n, this is renjun, your date for tonight! see you kids later, don’t get up to anything crazy” haechan chuckled to himself, shoving renjun to meet you. renjun almost clashed into your smaller frame, catching you off guard. you gently held his arms, keeping a small distance between you both.

“o-oh my bad, i-i’m renjun” he stammered, eyes meeting yours. you were slightly blown away by his looks...he was really attractive. well done, haechan.

renjun would say the same about you. even though he didn’t have a particular type, (as he found it kind of dumb tbh) he believed you could fit it perfectly.

“i’m y/n! nice to meet you” you widely smiled, renjun returning your expression as he pulled out his hand for you to shake. maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad after all.

Look at me now, I'm falling

I can't even talk, still stuttering

This ground I'm on, it keeps shaking

you were currently trying to hold back your laughter as renjun recounted the story of how he caught jaemin with his girlfriend...doing the nasty, during their first week of university.

“oh my goodness! were you scarred for life?” you slammed your fist on the table, causing others around you to glare. but renjun couldn’t even focus on them, attention solely on you.

“of course! it was the first week! like couldn’t they have just waited until midterms?” renjun chuckled at the memory, proud of himself that he made you laugh so much. he must be doing something right.

“you’re really funny, renjun. some of the other guys that haechan tried to set me up with were lowkey boring. i guess he sees me as boring too” you slightly frowned, watching as renjun piped up in his seat,

“y-you’re not boring at all! you’re funny! and pretty too” he muttered the last part, not wanting you to have heard. but you did. you decided not to linger on it much, afraid to make him too flustered.

“you’d be the first guy to say that” you shrugged, taking a small sip from your glass of water.

“have you had boyfriends in the past?” renjun suddenly asked, causing you to raise an eyebrow.

“i-uh i’ve had a few. nothing too serious though, how about you?” you curiously ask in return, watching as renjun looked down to his lap. he hesitated before answering,

“i’ve only had one girlfriend before. i’m not really an avid dater” renjun admits to you, hoping that you didn’t find him lame.

“oh neither am i! we have another thing in common! i feel like relationships can get really difficult to manage, especially if you aren’t in the right headspace, you know?” you started rambling, renjun stringing along to your every word. he found such beauty in the way you articulated your words. he was so entranced he almost forgot to respond.

“i totally understand how you feel, i’ve always thought that i should live my life to the fullest before i consider settling down” he commented, causing you to nod along. you really liked his answers, it seemed like you were both on the same page about relationships. you didn’t expect to enjoy his company this much, initially agreeing to go on the date so that haechan would stop teasing you for not having a boyfriend in uni yet.

you walked alongside renjun, waiting for your roommate to pick you up.

“i had a really good time tonight, renjun. thankyou” you kindly complimented, causing renjun to become more shy (if that was even possible).

“no thankyou! there were times i felt kind of awkward, but you really know how to carry a conversation” he smiled, watching as you started to get shy.

“are you flirting with me, huang renjun?” you teased, nudging his arm gently.

“so what if i am?” he nudged you back,

“well i don’t think i’d want you to stop” you smirked. before renjun could say anything back, your heard the familiar voice of your roommate urging you to get in her car.

“oh that’s my ride. i have to get going. this was nice, i’ll see you around renjun!” you hurriedly embraced the boy, placing a gentle peck to his cheek before rushing to your roommate’s car.

renjun still didn’t say anything back to you, his body frozen from your touch.

‘no no no’ he thought to himself...he was falling for her.

All I wanna be, yeah, all I ever wanna be, yeah, yeah

Is somebody to you

Everybody's tryna be a billionaire

But every time I look at you, I just don't care

“so are you gonna tell us about the date or do we have to call and ask her instead?” haechan teased as the rest of the boys sat in their living room. renjun has a book in his hands, wanting nothing more than peace and quiet after his long night.

“gosh, will you let me finish this chapter?” renjun huffed, causing jaemin and jeno to snicker. haechan pulled out his phone, holding it to renjun’s face,

“oh would you look at that? it would be a shame for my finger to slip and dial y/n” before he could continue, renjun hurriedly tossed his book to the side, tackling the pestering boy onto the ground, holding him down firmly.

“holy shit, did you get stronger?“ haechan could barely speak, still in shock from the sudden attack. renjun slowly leans back, letting out a tired sigh.

“you two are ridiculous, let’s cut to the chase, did you like her or not?” jaemin rolled his eyes, ready to hear all the tea.

renjun looked from side to side, not liking all the attention that was on him.

“i-she was really cool. honestly yeah, i did like her. but i don’t think she’s looking for anything too serious at the moment” renjun shook his head, thinking back to your heated discussion about relationships.

“okay that sounds like a cop out excuse. i think you’re just scared” jeno chimed in, the two other boys nodding along. renjun glared at them, trying his best to maintain his composure.

“yeah, i mean, did anything happen aside from good conversation?” jaemin continued to push, renjun now becoming more reserved. of course he trusted his friends, but they never really openly spoke about their feelings like this, it was quite new to all of them.

“she kissed me on the cheek before she left, does that mean something?” renjun muttered, watching as haechan tips himself over, now laying on the ground.

“you’re an idiot, must we spell it out for you? she’s totally into you as well” jeno groaned in frustration.

truth was, renjun wasn’t sure how to properly ask someone out, nonetheless be in a proper relationship with them. he was in desperate need of help...but all he had were his three idiot friends.

“i know i don’t know her well and all, but after she left, i couldn’t stop thinking about her. is this what it’s like to fall for someone? oh god...i’m falling” renjun started rambling to himself, jaemin and jeno now rested against him, shoulder touching either of his.

“the answer is pretty clear, man. go for a second date! make the move, she might be thinking the exact same thing” jeno shrugged, trying his best to advise his friend, the best he could. renjun bidded, actually agreeing with jeno for once.

suddenly, renjun felt his phone ringing. he immediately picked it up without looking at the caller ID.

as if you were listening in on their conversation, your voice rang through renjun’s ear.

“hello? is this renjun?” you nervously stammered, waiting for a response. renjun was completely frozen, his mouth hung wide as jeno pressed his own ear closer to the phone.

“y-yes this is him” renjun finally spat out, hands slightly shaking.

“oh great, this is probably coming as a surprise to you. but i uh, wanted to know if you’d be interested in going on another date” you were able to finish, heart racing as you held the phone tightly. renjun felt his heart stop after your words, jeno shaking him gently to snap out of his daze.

“o-oh yeah, i’d be really interested” renjun replies, mentally face palming himself for sounding a little too eager.

“amazing, i’ll keep in touch” you smiled to yourself, trying your best to contain your excitement. eventually you hung up, screaming into your pillow, kicking your feet up and down. was this how it felt to actually like someone?

“there’s your chance, don’t blow it!” haechan teased, throwing a cushion over to renjun who was still frozen well after the call had ended.

‘holy shit’ he mumbled.

//

the date you had planned for renjun, involved attending the local food markets they held once a month. you thought it would be a social enough setting for conversation to not get too awkward, as well as enjoy a variety of food. renjun met you at the bus stop, dressed in baggy jeans and a blue wind runner jacket. his hair was slightly styled, some strands gelled back. it really accentuated his facial features, making you admire him even more than you did before.

“you look really good today, i mean, not like you don’t look good everyday i’m sure you do..” you shook your head at your rambling, wanting nothing more but for him to laugh it off. renjun just smirked at you, planning another witty comment to respond,

“not as good as you though” he gently guided you to walk with him, his hand travelling to the small of your back. you slightly froze at the contact, but aimlessly followed him. he surely had his way with words.

as you both tasted some amazing food, renjun found him standing quite close to you. if you were trying a sample, he would stand behind you, his chest touching your back occasionally. it seemed really natural to him, and you didn’t mind it at all. he would often touch your shoulder gently to grab your attention, or pull you along by your waist. it gave you massive butterflies that you could shake off.

“did you want to start heading home? we can walk to the bus stop together” renjun offered kindly, his arm wrapped around your shoulder as you slowly made your way out of the large crowd. just as you were about to respond, rain started sprinkling from the sky. renjun quickly moved you to stand under some shelter as the rain came pouring.

“how the hell are we meant to walk in this?” you half shouted, clutching onto renjun’s side. he couldn’t bear moving you away from him,

“let’s just run, we can’t wait for it to pass” he suddenly took your hand, pulling you along as he bolted to the nearest bus stop.

“you’re so crazy, renjun!” you shout at the boy, giggling at the entire situation. before you knew it, renjun span you around, pulling you close to his chest.

“the only thing i’m crazy about is you” he confessed, catching you completely off guard. he had a habit of making such flirty comments, but this time you felt he wasn’t trying to joke around.

“w-what?” rain was washing over the both of you, your clothes completely soaked at this point.

“i really like you, y/n. i really freaking do. i didn’t want to admit it at first because i was scared of the idea of dating. but i want to be with you. i want to be somebody to you. everyone is out here trying to settle down and start their lives, but i feel like with you we can go at a steady pace. i don’t want to rush things, incase it gets messy, and difficult. but i just needed you to know that i really like you, and i hope it’s not all in my head that you like me back” renjun firmly confessed to you, eyes never leaving yours. you slowly raised your hand to wipe some rain drops off his face, watching as he smiled into your touch. he held you tightly in his arms, awaiting your response.

“renjun, i think i made it really clear that i like you back. i was also nervous about how you’d react, considering you weren’t really looking for anything serious at first. i think we should give it a shot, we can worry about all the stress and possible fights later on. all i know is that right now, you’re the only person i want to be standing in the rain with. now can you please kiss me?” you couldn’t contain your smile as renjun leaned into you. his lips pressing gently against yours. your fingers now running through his wet hair as he held your waist firmly. the kiss started getting deeper, the atmosphere really playing into the romantic nature of it all. eventually you both pulled away, foreheads presses against eachother, softly giggling.

that was the beginning of your relationship with renjun. despite having ups and downs (as expected) you both persevered and tried your absolute hardest to make things work. renjun finally admitted to himself: falling inlove wasn’t so bad...especially when it was with the right person.

Thoughts on Truth

Warning: Spoilers and intense emotions. You have been warned.

So that's how you fix a broken miraculous. And once it's fixed, Duusu seems to be better and felt that she was living a nightmare. Okay, we see.

I never spoke about ShadowMoth's costume. It's okay. I just don't like how powerful he is now.

I guess since the Kwamis were never out of the Miracle Box, they don't know how to behave in the human world. Its funny to see how they behaved, but I also feel bad for Marinette who looked like a crazy person trying to get the kwamis under control.

Also, the Miracle Box reflects Marinette. Does that mean that Marinette is spontaneous or that she is willing to let the Kwamis out of the Miracle Box? I say its both.

Also, how did the writers let Marinette forget that the Kwamis live in their magical world??? (Did they forget about "Sandboy"???) Also, didn't Master Fu or Tikki ever tell her about the whole kwamis and technology thing??? Is Adrien the only one that knows??? Or do I have amnesia?

The girls thought Adrien was at her place??? Did anyone even tell them about the whole Adrien and Kagami thing? Or is that why they are shocked???

The goat kwami apparently did not know about the technology thing and called photos paintings. I get it though: photos are like paintings.

And they sent a photo of Adrien to Luka. Oh boy *facepalms*

...and when Marinette answers Luka's call (made by the goat kwami whose name I cannot recall), she mistakes him for Adrien. I wonder how long this will last (if it even lasts)

Being a guardian means many responsibilities... and forgetting many things, including having a date with Luka. I feel bad for both of them, especially since the date was yesterday. YESTERDAY! Also, forgetting what they were going to be doing and what they will see in the movies

I love Lukanette's chemistry (even though I am a Love Square stan as you all know). Their guessing game on the way to the movies was adorable and in line with couple goals.

The necklace as a gift theory was right! We did it peoples!

Marinette screaming the answer "Kiss me" was a whole mood. And so is the staring thing.

WE/I WERE/WAS RIGHT THAT THEIR KISS WOULD BE INTERRUPTED!!! AND THAT IT WAS AN AKUMA!!! Take it as you will, although they were both passed that there kiss was interrupted.

Ladybug yeeting Chat Noir off the roof only to pull him back, break an office window, Chat smiling about it, and Ladybug enjoying this moment while simultaneously being concerned is what I live for! My Ladynoir heart is satisfied.

IT IS CANNON THAT THEY HAVE PATROLS. Although, it was cannon ever since the IG accounts existed.

ShadowMoth and all these sentimonsters is bananas. How do Marinette and Adrien handle this????

Well, we know for Marinette is the excuses that sometimes make no sense. And the fact that we see Luka become more upset with the more excuses she makes hurts, to the point that he mentioned it at the performance.

LUKA HAS A CHARACTER PEOPLES! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

He had no idea who his father is and his mom would not tell him. This is why he has some form of trust issues and why he is very hurt when Marinette would not tell him anything (because that would mean that she has to tell him she's Ladybug and that could mean the end of the world).

Side note: He is still aware that she still likes Adrien.

Luka resisting the akuma and amok because he still trusts Marinette hurts and shows that they have a healthy relationship (or as healthy as it could be when your girlfriend is a superhero and cannot tell you). Also, how he tells Marinette to run before succumbing to ShadowMoth shows how much he really cares about her. Luka I owe you an apology

Love how everyone in Paris thinks that Marinette's secret is that she loves Adrien. Marinette, you got them all fooled. But if this is the case, then that means Adrien is really dense.

Truth spots his mom and gets her to say who his father is...

ITS BEEN JAGGED STONE ALL ALONG!!! WE WERE RIGHT PEOPLES! OUR HEADCANNONS BECAME CANNON BECAUSE WE ARE GENIUSES!!!

My first thought was "Holy chiz, we were right! We were freaking right!" I had to pause for a miniature victory dance.

Miniature victory dance break!

Anyways, he goes to Jagged Stone not before ShadowMoth yells at him and Truth yells back that he always tells the truth. Man this all hurts so much seeing Jagged's absence having an effect in Luka's thoughts about honesty.

Chat Noir saving Ladybug from saying who she is, giving her the oxygen mask, and saying how he won't force her to tell the identity is wholesome.

Luka is understandably angry at Jagged for leaving him and his mom as Truth. Understandable. I also get Jagged's perspective of the fears of being a horrible parent. But once you are a parent, you have to stay unless you are a danger to children. Jagged is not a danger to children and he should have stayed. Just saying.

People are being yeeted left to right in this episode like wha???

Now Truth heads for Marinette's house and attacks her parents. They also think her secret is about Adrien lol.

I love Tom. Even under the spell, he was willing to make sure Truth does not go up to her room. Too bad that wasn't enough though.

Just as he was about to open the place with the Miracle Box, they catch him! Now, the showdown starts.

Ladybug loves Chat's confidence, courage, and SENSE OF HUMOR!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Ladybug and Chat saving each other from revealing their secret identities is just wholesome!

It sucks being in a room that belongs to your soon to be ex (Note: Marinette is not his ex yet, so do not say ex until a certain point). And with photos of the one she loves. Yikes.

Ladybug and Chat's conversation is wholesome. They are safe in each other's company because they trust each other and such. And they like each other's company. But they will catch ShadowMoth no matter what his name has changed to.

Also, Adrien must have had a hard time in his civilian life to be excited about fighting akumas and sentimonsters. I mean why am I surprised this is the same guy that is excited about throwing himself to death get this kid some dang therapy!

The Lukanette break up. So they are taking a break because Marinette wants to be honest to Luka, but cannot be honest for now. Luka takes this surprisingly well and says that he will be waiting while Marinette is the one that appears to be hurt the most. It hurts me

Luka and Jagged Stone collab! I can't wait for it!!! Glad that Jagged and Luka will slowly bur surely mend their relationship.

It hurts me knowing that Marinette can't be with anyone as long as she is Ladybug (or at least until ShadowMoth is defeated) because of the responsibilities and secrets she holds. She is afraid that she is a danger to others and being a danger to others means that they are a danger to Ladybug and Chat Noir and that means the end of the world! My precious bean is 15/16 and she has the weight of the world on her shoulders and this is the first step to her eventual breakdown from the Gloob trailer. Like, can we not hurt Marinette FOR FIVE GOSH DARN MINUTES???????

At least being a guardian has some perks, like having all the Kwamis giving you a hug in exchange for the world on your shoulders. Glad that the kwamis are being understanding to this extent.

Also, can I have kwamis to hug me when I am sad/stressed??? Especially since I am going to college

Overall, this is a very heavy first episode and I am here for it! Luka has a backstory independent of Marinette and a lot of our headcannons are confirmed! Also, Ladynoir are very much alive in their platonic banter and I am here for it even if the rest of the Love Square is somewhat dead.

I have my two cents on Lukanette and that is even as a Love Square stan, they deserve better, at least for half the season, and allow Luka to heal, and Marinette to focus on herself and being a guardian.

I sort of see the impact of Chat Blanc in this episode, but I am not a very emotional person when it comes to watching TV and even though it did not make me cry, it was still emotionally heavy for me, so take it as you will.

Anyways, we are back on track my peoples and I will add on to this post once the English Dub comes to light. See you all soon!

My thoughts on Seabound!!! 🌊🌊🌊 (4/4)

Here we are! What a journey, and while perhaps this season wasn't at MoM level it was REALLY good, with great new villains/allies, great little throwbacks and an awesome story! 🤩

How to get this was very good to great? Give me a very good ending Seabound!! 💕💕

Alright, here we go!

GENERAL THOUGHTS

I genuinely got too much into this remaining four episodes and forgot to put any general thoughts 😅 So you'll see me rambling at the end, see you there 😉

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

This title really summarize my feelings so far, like, I'm seriously wondering how it will move on from now, but I do expect the outcome to be CRAZY 🤯

Aaahhhh, yep, the one in Shintaro is a fake 😅 I wonder when did the change happen? How did Kalmaar pulled that off, wow

I'M SORRY WHY ARE WE PUTTING THE TITLE SCREEN WITHOUT THE INTRO?? THAT'S A FIRST EPISODE STUFF AND IT HONESTLY SCARES ME??? It reminds me of Winds of Change too and that episode was WOW 😭😭😭

Heeeeyyy, it's youuuu... huh... *watch scribble on hand* google snake guy, huh... Glucose... yep, good old Glutine and everything 😅

Are we having a "I may have made a mistake being evil" with this guy?

Jay: ah, Prime Empire! I was in that game you know! I fought for my life and the ones of all of Ninjago and I've seen my best friends and the love of my life die before my eyes... good times 🙂

Jay and Nya having fun at DDR has to be one of my favorite thing, they are so in sync and so lovable ❤💙❤💙

DID THEY ACTUALLY PUT THE JAYA SHIP NAME INTO THE SHOW??? OMG GUYS THE FANDOM IS TAKING OVER THE SHOW AT LAST!!! 🤯🤯🤯 The electric Jaya, heeeyy, niiicee 😎😎😎

HOW CUTE CAN YOU BE

MY SHIP 💙❤💙❤ They even gave each other high gives... this is neat, and it means something awful will happen right 🙂

Commissioner: he's saying something about a giant snake... and the end of the world... didn't we already have something like that?

Okay yep, he did the trick while fighting Nya, dang Kalmaar is sneaky! Not too shabby... but I gotta say, the summoning of the Great Devourer was a lot more dramatic 🤣🤣 Props to the serpentine, still my favorite snakes 💪💪

Wojira seems to be a little smaller than the Devourer maybe? His head way bigger than the bounty, while hers is not that massive even in comparison with Kalmaar

I might be wrong but at first glance, I stand by my opinion and by the superiority of the OG giant snake 🤷‍♀️

Yep Glutine guy did have a change of heart, better late than never 🤷‍♀️

You're telling me that Jay doesn't do engineering anymore, okay... HOW IS KAI A BETTER SOLUTION??? 🤣🤣🤣 Lol look at the messy brothers, love Lloyd and Kai so much I miss them interact 💚❤💚❤

Thank you Kelly for the alert 😗

It makes me wonder if they actually do have simulations of evacuations often, it would be pretty smart considering the city 🤷‍♀️

OKINO IS THERE HI DUDE!!! 😍 I hope he's doing great! 🥰🥰

Gail Gossip! Been a while!

WOW, this is going Deluge like, my first Spinjitzu Master! 😱 How... how do we go with three episodes from here? Like, I'm guessing Nya will have to do what Nyad did before her (which TERRIFIES me), so are they going to struggle trying to find another way? IDK BUT I'M IN LET'S GO!! 🤯

ASSAULT ON NINJAGO CITY

Alright, pretty straightforward title, let's see what we got here!

Tourists?... that actually makes sense, I mean, I would want to visit all the places where history was made on this island 😍 Aww nice to see they remember the battle against Garmy of Hunted, also that it is known that Jay was the one who faced Unagami 👍👍

DARETH!!! 🤎🤎🤎

Where have you been you knucklehead, I've missed you! 💕 I think I've last seen him in a commercial from the Fire Chapter?

This is a terrible guide 😵 Not knowing the brown ninja? Owner of the dojo the Green Ninja had trained in? Brief commander of the Stone Army? Master of makeup and puffy potstickers? Unforgivable, someone fire this woman ASAP 😡😡

LOOK AT DARETH TAKING CHARGE!!! 🤩 He's right, he should get involved every once in a while, come on guys!

Ah okay good, I'm not the only one struggling with that google snake name 😂

Yay Bentho is fully integrated with the team! He is a great addiction, like, I know he'll probably take the throne at the end or something but I do hope we'll need his help again in the future! 💙

Sometimes I forget how much I love Kai and Zane interacting 🤣 The brainiac and the airhead 🤍❤🤍❤

Oh right, Cole came back from Shintaro! So... now in this extremely secret city there is a fake amulet hanging into a highly secured place... how is it always Shintaro the keeper of flukes? 😂😂

A bath as a boat but it has a whole 😂😂 I love this show's randomness

What ears are they supposed to cover 😅

I LOVE THIS ATMOSPHERE!!! 😍😍😍 Between the gray sky of storm and the sea underneath, this is the perfect scenario for Wojira and it's not even forced! I love how they are handling backgrounds for Ninjago recently, I really hope it gets as good as in the finale of Prime Empire 💙💙💙

AAAAAAHHHHHhhhhh okay for a moment I was scared Wojira was going to eat Jay 😅 After The Island this is already the second time Bluebell risks it... STOP

WHY THE CLIFFHANGER!?!?

NUUUUU WHAT NOW??? 😱😱😱 We have two more episodes, how is this going to end? I DON'T KNOW AND I REALLY WANT TO PLEASE GIVE ME A GOOD FINALE SEABOUND!!! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

NYAD

I AM SCARED FOR MY WATER LILY OKAY

Daaaang she can just float on that? She got super good at controlling water! Now I want her and Kai just randomly flying around with their powers 😂😂 Kai got missiles in his hands come on 🔥🔥🔥

JAY CAN YOU LET ME WORRY ABOUT YOU GUYS ONE AT THE TIME??? 😱

What would Kai do? WHAT WOULD KAI DO?? DID YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO DIE JAY WHY WOULD YOU THINK OF HIM??? ... although technically Kai is the only one with Jay who didn't straight up die before coming back to life in a dramatic moment... huh... Kai might be the most reasonable choice after all 😅

We grew up from Ninja never quit to NINJA AREN'T IDIOTS AND KNOW WHEN TO GET THE HECK OUT 😎😎 Even our motto got a character development 💪

JAY NOOOOOOOO 😱😱😱😱

BENTHO YAAAAAAASSSS 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Did I ever say that I love shark boy? BECAUSE I FREAKING DO!! 💙

Master prankster Wu once again, take that empty ship Calamari head 😎 Although the poor bounty doesn't deserve to get destroyed as many times as it did until now, it's my favorite ship... pun intended 😜

Ah more ninjajan, wait a moment

"Auto Pilot". Fair enough, although I was hoping for a "psych" or something 😂😂

NO WAIT NO WHAT THE HECK!!! I THOUGHT JAY GOT SAVED HE INHALED WATER??!? BLUEBELL NOOOO!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

But Cole running to his best friend immediately? HECK yes 🖤💙🖤💙

NYA CARRYING HER BOYFRIEND BRIDAL STYLE THIS IS THE RIGHTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!!! ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙 Gosh this season gave me amazing Jaya moments, I've been fed 👌👌

Okay Lloyd pacing back and forth? Kai already mad at their enemies? All the guys eager to help Jay? MY FAVORITE NINJA FAMILY BABY!!! 😎😎

I NEED A MOMENT 😭

Oh... oh gosh I knew Nya doing the Nyad thing was meant to happen, but this way? My heart is melting already 😭

I remember a post that said that Jay told Nya that he loves her many times, while she never did. Tommy reponded that she lets her actions speak... boy do I see it now, I see all of her love 😢😢

I never felt such conflicting emotions for a villain like I do for Kalmaar, like, he caused so much pain to Nya... but he is voiced by Giles... but he is the reason Jay is hurt... but that startle gag 😂😂😂

Okay this? Is adorable?

What the HECK? The police in this city is generally not very helpful, but the Commissioner is very wholesome 💜

Nyaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭 I didn't think it was possible to love her even more, she was ignored for so long during the show, but now we finally see all of her. She is an amazing warrior, a selfless person, and a real hero 💪💪 And coming from such a mature girl that doesn't like to act irrationally, this means so much more

Jaya grew up so much, it went through some very questionable phases yes, but what they have here? It's the result of all they had lived together 💙❤💙❤

I have chills, this is amazing so far, I'm legit scared of going further 😱

SHE SAID IT!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Okay this moment, everything, EVERYTHING, is absolutely marvelous. Nya said I love you without a voice, alone, showing again that she values the actions more, but still her feelings are 100% truthful. Then the transformation (THERE IT IS HER BEAUTIFUL WATER FORM 😍😍😍), Jay getting saved, the realization of what she just did from everyone... DANG IT IT'S ALL BEAUTIFUL HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO THINK OF THIS SCENE???

*slow clap for Bragi, Tommy, and the Ninjago crew*

Jay and water Nya with their hands together gives me big The Form of Water vibes... LOVE THAT MOVIE WHO'S READY FOR AN AU??

Jay wants to help her, I had no doubt 💙 They always help each other in these BOUNDs seasons 😍😍😍

Kalmaar: where are the ninja??

Commissioner: I don't know, they are ninja!

FINAL BATTLE INCOMING AAAAHHH I HOPE THIS WILL HAVE A GOOD ENDING OMG BRING IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

THE TURN OF THE TIDE

Oh, curious title? It feels a little vague, I don't really know what it could be

YES GIRL GO GET HIS CALAMARI BUTT HECK YES!!! Just how cool can you be for walking slowly while the attacks go straight through you? 😂

Hey Nya still recognizes Jay! 😃😃

HEY NYA GOT VAPORIZED WTH 😱😱 It's too early, I don't believe that's it!

WHOA JAY WENT BERSERK JUST NOW!! I don't think I've seen this before, this is the coolest thing! 💙💙💙 I just love when he shows how strong he is, you can be a comic relief AND kick butts 😎

FIGHTING ANIMATIONS MAN I LOVE THESE SCENES!! 😍😍😍

What the- was... was that a cameo of the lightning chicken? Ninjago what the HECK I love your randomness 😂😂

BENTHOMAAR TAGS IN!!! Showing off why he is best boy of the season 💙 These fightings are very cool but I can't help imagining Wojira just chilling while there are midgets getting very angry at each other onto her head 🤣🤣🤣

WHOA, CALAMARI BITE! Kalmaar got the Pythor treatment... might change color by next season if he returns 😅

(Please return I loved having Giles' voice in this season 💙💙💙)

NYA IS A DRAGON!!! I REPEAT NYA IS A DRAGON!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I was wondering where the dragon moment was, this is Ninjago after all 🤷‍♀️

Head empty, just Jay smiling softy at Nya because he loves her 💙💙💙

IT'S RAINING NYA, HALLELUIA IT'S RAINING NYA, HEYE!! ☔☔☔ This fight is MASSIVE! We had finales with big creatures before but now one of the ninja is big enough to face them and that's 🤯

NYA DID IT!!! 🤩🤩🤩 ... now onto the angst that I KNOW it's coming

Kai being unbelieving is tragic, and Jay's "don't leave me" broke my heart. Please end this misery, where is the deus ex machina that solves everything?

Wait she left?

...

WAIT SHE ACTUALLY LEFT??? WHAT THE HECK THEY AREN'T ENDING IT LIKE THIS

...

OH MY GOSH

ARE THEY?!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Omg the grief in this is beautiful, nice to see Jay and Maya so close to each other! Also Kai leaning onto his mom while Cole is comforting his best best friend? Amazing, they really do these scenes great 👌

EVERYONE SHOWED UP I LOVE THIS CITY SO MUCH 😭😭😭 Aww Ed and Edna, wasn't this such a sad situation I would be so much happier to see you guys 🥺

Master Wu even mentioned that she built Samurai X, you really want to make me cry now do you? 🥺🥺

MAYA AND RAY 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Omg look at Cole being there for his best friend, he is amazing 🖤💙🖤💙

I have such Rebooted vibes from this... is it hopeful? That Nya comes back like Zane? She's no nindroid but still... oh my gosh they got her symbol on the vase I just noticed, I need more tissues 😭😭

"In loving memory of Kirby Morrow". Always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤

...

Wow

WOW

THEY ACTUALLY DID IT I NEED ANOTHER MOMENT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 WHAT IN THE WORLD THIS IS THE BIGGEST CHANGE THEY DID IN A WHILE!!!

AND NOW WHAT??? 🤯🤯🤯

FINAL THOUGHTS

I'm speechless... like that's true, have A LOT to write over here 😅

This type of plot twist reminds me of our early seasons. Zane sacrificing himself, Garmadon giving up his life, those moments that made me so curious and excited about the following. I have no idea what will be the outcome for this, but I can't wait to find out

With that out of the way, AMAZING SEASON 😍😍😍 I think this finale beats MoM's, just because it was really unexpected and opens up a SEA of possibilities... yeah too soon 😭

I'm still shaken, my world, they did something HUGE and I do hope it will be a good shake to the entire Ninjago plotline. Nya is "gone", we still don't know about the person behind all that vengestone, we haven't heard from Garmy in forever, there are so many good ideas out there now that they've set the ground for more 🤩🤩

Voice acting was *chef's kiss*, not only for the villain which I already stressed enough about, I think Kelly reached a new level of emotional intimacy with Nya and I'm so happy she showed her skills 💜💜

Animation is TOP, there's little to no point into saying anything else since they showed it very clearly in the latest season ☺

This was the emotional, witty and engaging writing I was looking for! Good jokes, meaningful dialogues, emotional scenes, everything was really good and I'm gonna rewatch some scenes especially for that 😍

It turned out having Maya and Ray back was kind of a distraction to fool us all 😅😅 Well played actually, and it was very cool seeing them again in any case 🙋‍♀️

And now? Jay lost his love, I have no idea if the show will work on him getting over her or hold onto her memory (thinking of Jay probably the latter, although I do think that handling the first would be an interesting idea). KAI LOST HIS SISTER 😢😢😢 I have no doubt he's gonna beat himself up for it, like he did when Zane was gone too. Everyone lost their friend, she had become such a vital part of the team and now she is not here anymore it will be hard...

They are back with the four plus one green savior formation, I sincerely don't know how I feel about that 😅 I'm always happy when we get the OGs, but this is about going on without Nya... maybe Skylor will be called? Or Pixal will be more active? That could be interesting to see, who knows 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Gosh, how are they going to handle the next season? It will have to give A LOT of answers to the millions questions we all have right now. Man I can't wait, it could be anything!!! This is a Ninjago revolution!

But if I have to mention a little complain, and I'm a fangirl so I absolutely have to, Kai didn't show much of a reaction to Nya's "departure". Okay, she didn't straight up die like in Skybound (I'm gonna fear all BOUND seasons from now on 😱), but he's her brother and he loves deeply his family. Either we're gonna see him go all out next season, or the writers really did only focus on Jaya. A tiny bit salty... but you got me a fantastic finale so I'll move on 👍

Outstanding, I'm blown away. Whenever I think I'm used to this show they do stuff like this. I'm so glad and sad you guys 😅 But mostly happy that despite everything I still get very strong emotions while I watch this long time favorite show of mine 💜💜💜

What else can I say at this point? ONTO NEXT SEASON!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Thank you for reading me freaking out over LEGO spinning ninja as always! It helps me calm down but this time it might be harder thant the others... *sobs*

I need to lay down and process all of this, I'll be on my way 😂😂 BYE!!! 💜
