#i don't know what will work and what dosn't yet

[icarusredwings]

It's bed time, kiddo 2/3

Wade's being a brat. Althea ain't having that.

Tw: Mentions of alcohol and voices

Opening the fridge, He leaned over to get a soda. Turning, he kicked it closed, beginning to hum as he popped open the tab. Putting it to his lips, he glanced up, jolting hard. Spitting out the soda, his hand coming to his chest as he fell back against the couter.

"Wade! Jesus fucking christ!!"

"Hi wolvie..."

"You just almost got sliced in half!! What is wrong with you!? Do you want me to hurt you!? For fucks sake!"

"...." his eyes widdened and frowned, pulling Fluffy up to hold tighter.

"Im sorry.. sorry.. I just-" he took a deep breath and sighed. "Aren't you supposed to be in bed?" He asks, looking as if he had just seen a ghost, trying to calm down, gripping the counter.

"...My tummy feels sad."

"What? You were just asleep. I saw it."

From the living room, Al spoke up with a soft smirk. "How does it feel? Fuckers so silent. Scares the shit out of me all the time."

"But... my tummy is sad."

"What does that mean??" He squinted some, trying to work out this weird puzzle of words.

"He's either hungry or he's anxious about something." The older woman says. "Now shut up, I'm trying to watch Wheel of Fortune."

Logan rolled his eyes. "Sure you are..." He turns to see Wade looking a little too scared for his liking.

"So... uhm.. Are you hungry?"

But he dosn't awnser, staring at him with such hesitancy as if Logan would snap at him again if he awnsered.

Grunting, Logan mentally stabbed himself. Wade was so sensitive to him yelling. He knew this. All that trust.. so easily taken away. "What do you want to eat, kid? Hot dogs?"

Still, he stares. His shoulders slouch, bringing his hand up to rub his face. "..Come're," he tells him, opening an arm to him. Immediately, he came, starting to sob.

Rubbing his back, Logan let out yet another sigh. "I know.. I know, Im sorry. I didn't.." he didn't mean to scare him. He hated scaring him, actually. Made him want to get his claws surgically removed, but you know, declawing your kitty was unethical. He needed to be able to scratch sometimes.

He had been so freaked out that Logan had to pick him up again, softly bouncing him and telling him it was okay.

"Wade, cut that shit out! You're a big boy remember?"

"He's allowed to cry." The man says, confused as to why Al was rude, seeing as she's the one who told him to be nice the first time.

"Logan, sweetheart.. You know he's faking, right?"

"...what?"

"That boy is pulling a burlap sack over your eyes and water boarding you."

Logan blinked at the woman. ".. I dont think thats how that saying goes.."

"Oh well, anyway, he's fake crying. He does that to get what he wants and he's turning you into a fool."

Logan shifted him to the counter, giving him a suspicious glance. "Is that tru- oh you little shit!"

Wade's face wasn't even wet. Sure, his eyes were glossy but nowhere near the amount of crying he was claiming. Holding fluffy closer to his face, he looked at him like a guilty dog, almost ashamed if it wasn't for the tiny pull at the corner of his lips. He was proud of his preformance.

"Are you happy with yourself? Hm?" He crosses his arms, looking at him sternly.

A soft nod.

Logan snorted softly. "At least you're telling the truth... so what do you want?"

Again he whispers, "My tummy is sad."

Thinking about what Althea said, He rose a brow, beginning to playfully and driamtically sniff over him. A soft squeal and giggles came from him, trying to push his face away. "Noo!! Kitty! Don't bite!!"

"Fucking freaks.." Al grumbled, Petting the rat dog in her lap.

"Hmm.. Okay. You're telling the truth about that. But why is your tummy sad? Does it hurt?"

He shook his head.

"Are you hungry?" He asks again. For a moment, Wade thinks, trying to see if he was hungry.

"Cup?"

Logan shook his head. "Nope. Bed time."

"But.." he was trying to find his words.

"Mommy said I can ask for cup whenever I want."

His brows raised a bit, both surprised and proud of how many words he said. "That's true but I'm not mommy."

Instantly he began pouting, frowning and crossing his arms, mimicing the way Logan did often. "Why?"

"Ppft. Yeah, Logan, why are you not Mommy?" The grandmother asks, teasing him. It seemed that the closer he got with people, the more teasing he got, too. It made him feel home.

"You're not helping." He gives her a quick glare despite the fact she couldn't see it, now turning back to Wade, putting his hands on either side of him as he sat. "Why what? Why no cup?"

He nods with a huff.

"Wade, It's bedtime. No more cups."

"You're being mean." He whines, kicking the back of the counter with a loud grunt.

Rolling his eyes. "It's not being mean, You don't need anymore alchool. You've already had 5 shots tonight. No more. Especially not if you're going to act like that." He grumbles, wishing he didn't act like a brat every time Vanessa came over. She always spoiled him too much.

He whines loudly, being quite annoying. "But you get a lot."

"Im big." Logan says blatantly, having learned that this usually stopped him from questioning any further.

"Oh yeah....." He mumbled, begining to think as he petted Fluffy. "Hmm...can I just have milk?"

"Juice. Take it or leave it."

"In my cup?"

He groans. "Yes in your cup."

"Okay!"

And so, He comes around the counter, opening the fridge once again as he grabs the grape juice, filling up the Spiderman cup after rinsing it out decently well.

Taking the cup, He began drinking it, now kicking his feet happily that he not only caused a scene, got his cup, but also stayed up later, then he was told. To him, that was a massive win.

"There. Now go to bed."

"You come?"

"Sure, why not. If it'll make you go to bed, then fine." By now, he figured he probably wouldn't go to sleep and stay asleep unless someone was in bed with him.

He's gotten used to sleeping with Althea for years now, so it made sense why he wouldn't be able to stay asleep if alone. He usually only slept by himself if it was a sick day and he wanted to be left alone.

"Come on. You want me to carry you?"

His eyes widden as he nods quickly only to pause. "Kitty..."

"What now?" He wanted to lay his head on the counter and just not awnser him anymore but he knew this wasn't a good idea. Then Wade would just get into things and make a mess for them to clean up.

Either that or end up with the whole bottle again to chug what was left of it. He knew that it made his head shut up for a little bit, he knew full well that, that 5 minutes of silence was worth the loss of balance but he didn't want Wade following into his bad habits... He was trying to be a better role model for him.

"Im hungry..." Though the way he says this was as if he knew Logan would be upset with him, smiling sheepishly as he held fluffy tight, close to his face. The cuter he looked the less he thought he'd get introuble.

"What!? But I just asked if you were hungry like 5 minutes ago?!"

He batted his eyes, whining softly. "...I wasn't hungry then.."

So. Here they are. All 4 of the housemates on the couch, Wade with a plate of microwaved hot dogs and ketchup all over his fingers, Logan in the middle trying his damndest not to fall asleep, and Al, who was snoring already as A re-run played on the tv.

Giggling at whatever was going on in his head, Wade seemed happy as a clam as he clapped. At least, that's what Logan thought. In reality, He was sneaking pieces of hot dog to Puppins, who was wiggling her bare tail and spinning in cirlces as well as licking the ketchup off of him.

It wasn't until Wade let out an audible yet giggly "Ewww you're so yucky." From the feeling of her tounge trying to wrap around and eat his finger instead that Logan sat up. "Hey! What did I tell you about feeding her ketchup!?"

Squealing again, He gave her an entire hot dog and shooed the dog. "Run puppy!!"

And so she did, taking her prize from being adorable and doing tricks, running away from them, slipping under the table in which Logan grunted, reaching under to try to get it away from her.

Look- Its not that the hot dog was bad, it was the fact that it wasn't cut and was slathered in vinegar and tomato paste. He didn't want her to puke, nor choke but by the time he got it from her, she has already devoured half of it.

"Damn it, Wade!"

Picking up the little dog, He couldn't stop giggling, the sugar from the grape juice working through his system. "Kitty's gonna get us, Puppy!" He says to her as she barks, happily wagging more as she was having the best time, so many scraps tonight.

Running from Logan, he huffed, glaring. "I'm too old for this shit!" He growls. Catching Wade was like trying to grab an oiled weasel. Slipping through your fingers and biting your arm once you got ahold of them. How Al slept through the chase? Who knows. But when he did catch him, he threw him over his shoulder, carrying him away to the bed.

"Nooooo!!" He whined, reaching out for the dog to save him though she just sat here, panting and wiggling her behind against the floor.

"Traitor!" He called the puppy, whose head tilted and itched her ear, watching her owner get dragged away to his doom (bed time).

Dragon x human!reader romance hc's

Okay, seriously, who dosn't like dragons? So here, have some hc's! I haven't started on the vampire x human oneshot yet, but I (probably) will! Eventually! Hopefully! In the meantime, keep up the asks! Remember to eat and drink! Do some stretches and have a nice day!

Of course, you are the center of the dragons attention, and the most valuable piece of its horde. A deity above all others. There's just no way around it. It follows you around your home like a puppy, and it is on its hands and knees for you whenever you are in the dragons home

#1 best cuddler in the world. No matter what's your shape, dragon always seems bigger then you, and will always wrap their arms around you and hold you close, softly purring. And in the end, you both often fall asleep

They are seriously obsessed with you (but in the good way), and notice even the smallest changes. You changed clothes in the middle of the day? The temperature must be bothering you. You smell different? Its easily discovered that you're trying on a new perfume/cologne, and while the dragon doesn't necessarily like it, but they notice how it makes you happy, and if you are happy, then they are too.

They are either the worst cook, only knows how to cook like 3 things, or are actively learning how to cook for you.

Possessive? Yes. With a capital P and all. But they are quite respectful about it too. They wouldn't want to hurt your feelings.

Feel like everything is going too fast? The dragon won't be very happy about it, but they will give you your space if you ask. Sure, they might be a bit upset at first- but this just further proves how they will do anything for you.

But what if it just doesn't work out? Well, be it because of either you or them, you are ultimently the one who has to bring this to light. The dragon tries so hard to make this work for you- probably even forgetting some of themselves. But in the end if this all doesn't work out, they will take this better then expected. And it's almost scary- though you never see the dragon again after this.

But that doesn't mean the dragon isn't watching you. No, they're silently protecting you, watching you go on with your life happily- and while they are (and will be) sad that you left them, they don't hold anything against you. They still want to see you happy, even if it means not being in your life.

Warning: this is an emotional writing about me failing my bachelor and what happened to me today (there will be some little disturbing stuff, you've been warned)

Today was the most heart breaking day I've ever had in my life with the bachelor, not because its the first time I've failed it, that was not the problem I don't care if I failed it again, I've got a shock attack of what happened before me knowing that I failed

so I was waiting for the official site of the bachelor result to open, as I got a call from my father that my school got some results early and they got mine, and they said that I had a 13.08/20, and I was overwhelmed by the happiness as I rolled in tears and got on the ground smiling as my mom cried with me joy tears, I was so happy I've never got a 13 before since I was a middle school, as I believed that I really worked on this year's bachelor, but after exactly 40 minutes, something happened

My father called again, as he said that the result that my school gave him was a mistake, they said that they've been wrong with my name and they gave me my cousin's result that lives right down my feet, since we share the same family name...

I had a shock attack as I heard my mom said: SHE DIDN'T GOT IT??! I fell on the ground half unconscious, as my mom panicked as she yelled at my father for not telling us sooner, she was way weaker than me she doesn't know how to handle these kind of situations, right now she is still trying to hold her tears and trying to calm down for the past 7 hours from what happened

As for me, I was on the ground as my younger brothers helped each other laying me on the wall, I couldn't move, I couldn't talk, I couldn't cry, I couldn't do anything, I only tried to move my eyeballs only slightly trying to look and process what was happening around me, which I didn't, my father came and tried to calm my mom, as he was shocked to see me on the ground sitting and unable to move, both of my grandma and aunt tried to talk to me, I couldn't listen, they tried to wake me up from the ground, that didn't work either, my dad even slapped me to gain some conscious, that didn't work too and didn't even felt the slap, I was on the ground only looking at the wall beside me, not even trying to blink for an hour and a half, as my mom stoped crying loudly and only swinged back and forth, I got up, gave my father my laptop to double check on my actual result, and went to my room, layed on the bed on the opposite side, I finally felt the pain from the shock earlier, it was painful, really painful, but luckily my other aunts and uncle called me from the US and canada and told me that all my aunts and uncles redone their bachelors more than two times when they were on my time and age, they convinced me that faillng mine is not really something to be really worried, and everything should be okay you really don't have to be worried, I wasn't shocked about the fact that I failed it, what I was shocked about is that me thinking that I got my bachelor was a lie, this was gave me a heart attack and almost died at this point

I am fine right now, only my eyes tired from crying both from happiness and pain i felt before as i am writing this, sorry if i made some of you upset from reading this, and i know that some of you dosn't understand why all of this happened from a bachalor degree and why am i crying over it, as i learned that both Americans and Europeans doesn't necessarily need a bachalor degree to go to university, as for me as an algerian, i need to have a bachalor degree for every specialty that exist in a university that i attend to, and if i don't have it, i either drop out from school, or redo my bachelor without school or with it, so that's why i'm sad and shocked

thanks for every friend that suported me with my bachelor, i've got a 9,80/20 (which its close to the passing degree 10,00/20) , its sad that i lost this one too like last year, but i'm not giving up yet, i am redoing it again next year, but without school this time

So i've been playing hades a lot lately, and its got me thinking.

Poseidon doesn't even need to compete to the favorite uncle it is so stacked in his favor.

But, in the myths at least he's not always a great person either, like all the gods have been really awful at times, cause thats just how greek gods are.

BUT he's also clearly very fond of Zagreus, and as shown during his and Zeus's convo when they offer you a duo boon, dosn't think Zeus is as great as Zeus does (though to be fair, who does. It also shows he's a little intimidated by Zeus, but i refuse to let that ruin my fun)

So, consider this.

Poseidon listing to Zag complain about Zeus, just as a matter of course, and not really understanding what Zeus did that bugged him so, but nodding along as though he understands completly:

Example:

Zag: "And he called Nyx Father's concubine, as though she was only a distraction for him, and not like she raised me, was pretty much my only loving parent as a child, or put me in contact with Athena, or also raised my boyfriend and keeps the whole house in order-"

Poseidon, internally, not yet aware of the whole persphone deal: wait isn't that accurate though? did they get married, is she the queen proper? I thought she WAS just a fling, concubine would imply she was at least there consistently, thats a title in and of itself, right? is Zeus really wrong? whats going on down there?

Poseidon, externally: "Oh, Little Nephew! I understand completely, with how rude he was, your anger is completely justified! you let your favorite uncle handle it, I'll set him straight!"

Zagreus, who is still trying to maintain goodwill with the olympians: "Yeah-wait, you don't need to-"

and BAM they lose contact and he just has to pick a boon, hoping he didn't just start something.

in case you wondered, this is the line of dialogue that inspired this post, colored of course by my personal dislike of Zeus as a person (I do quite like him as a character, but he's worst uncle. F-.).

Zeus, triggered by accepting a boon from him "By the way, Nephew, I hear-tell your mother Nyx is quite the catch! If you'll forgive my saying so, of course. Your father's never had much of a sensibility around companionship, though perhaps this concubine of his brought something out in him, at last!"

I neglected to grab a screenshot, but thanks to the files assembled here, https://hades-dialogue-resources.carrd.co/ I was able to find them again. Thanks so much to @thanzage, I don't know you but i recognize it was probably a lot of work to pull all that together. Thank you.

[speakyskelly-1999]

hey

so i know i've been doing fuck all for a while

i've had a lot of work to do and i've not been the wellest of people

and like i have other anime i need to talk about first but errr

OMG WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST FINISH

i just finished watching I'm in Love with the Villainess and errr i don't know whatt o make of it

it was like fine for the first 7 episodes, hell even good

but then it throw me a massive curve ball, tolerated it. watched the the next couple episodes. and err let me tell you thoes curve balls just kept on coming and just kept on getting worse.

now did i enjoy the final episode. well kinda. ignoing the first errr 6 minuets it was fiiiiiiiiine. but holy shit

and like they're not really curve balls in terms of plot exatly. they impact it of course but like it's more how they chose to drive the plot thats bugging me

some spoilers by the way

claire, who's the love interet looses her maid whos been with her for ages. fine plot point. WHY SHE LEAVES. ERMM!!!! lets just say forbidden love in the forgers christmas ad variety

ha ha ha i'm in so much pain

aaaaaaanywaaaaay

then we get some one who tests rae and claires love (rae loves claire but claire hasn't realised that she loves rae yet basically)

i need ceral break one sec

okay i have food to get me through this trying time.

it's so yummy

so err yea character who turns up to shake up the relationship

me: okay show whos this person

show: claire's first love

me; okay like a kid next door kinda thing

show; her sisterrrrrrrr

me: say sike rn

show: hahaha yea that's not her sister

me: oh thank god, weird that she calls her that but i guess if its a they were really close as kid but driftedf apart or what ever that's tolerable. as long as their not related i can tolerate-

show: sheeeeeee her cuuuuuuuuuuuz

me: kill me now

so like you might be wondering why i stared watchging

i'd like to nkow the answer myself

i think i reached a level of dispar that destoryed me mind body and soul that i had to know if it got worse

it did

cat break

aaah that cat doesn't have a care in the world

no work, no school just moew moew

okay is everyone refreshed

good back tot he shit show

now the show does a bait and switch but not really , i think

the concept of claire's cuz (i cannot fucking spell her name and i don't want to) is that in the game (yes this is a reincarnated into a video games one, i had some idea of the quality i was getting into but geez) she's one of the only ally characters to the protagonist (rae) to hepl her get with one of the love interest that she likes. now in the game you can only pick from one of the three princes but rae is going after the villainess (hence the title) so she doesn't know whoch side she'll be on.

now to save everyone some trouble, claire's cuz was deliberatly playing the "bad guy who gets in the way of their relationship to make it deeper" cos claire still haddn't realised her feelings for rae really (it is a bit odd tho cos claire's cuz also just says she was actuaslly trying to get with rae at one point and i wanna die)

god call me errr junko what ever the fuck her surname is cos that despare vortex has be by the fucking neck

okay back to it. the way. THE WAY in which claire's cousin goes about her fucking plan, her fucking deal is the worse. she flerts with claire infront of rae to deliberatly provoke her into a fight. this dosn't work so she just straight up chalengers rae and almost FUCKING KILLS HER. so i was like "ah shown your true colores now, this was the plan, no one will like you anymore and you'll leave."

no

rae lost the bet so she had to quit being clair's maid beacvuse thoes there the tems and conditions tehy came up with for the fight in essence.

SHE👏🏽 THEN👏🏽 GETS👏🏽 MAD👏🏽 AT👏🏽 RAE 👏🏽FOR👏🏽 QUITTING

tells rae that she dosn't really care for clair cos she gave up. rae states that like by law they can't be together and also claire dosn't like her back. manaria (i fucking learned her name for this, are you happy now. it's claire's cuz i didn't know if that was👍🏽errr) talks about how she had a love who she didn't wanna say anything and then ended up hurting her. sounds like weirdly placed moral support considering you caused this to happen and knew rae couldn't win against you in the fight but okay i guess

no

NO

NO NO NO NO NO

the thing that manaria did (well "did" cos idk if she was just bullshitting to get them to get back together or, as she states later, just wanted to see rae mad cos she thinks that's cute) is not nothing you lie about if she did lie. AND DEFINATLY NOT SOMETHING TO LIKE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND ON HURTING THE PERSON YOU LOVE. because rae just quit her job. manaria did something incredibly horrific. and i'm moving on cos i don't wanna talk about this part anymore

look another emotional support cat

ain't he just a darling

that's a good cat right there

you can tell i'm coping hard

yea so erm fuck

ultimatly love wins. rae and claire end up together, yay/ manaria goes home, thank fuck. and all the side characters are happy (that deserve happiness). cool is that the end of the show now. can i go home. they semi set up a season two

oh

ooooh they semi set up a season two

yea idk man like the first 7 episodes get a 7/10 and idk what the fuck the rest of it gets. it broke my scale

don't wantch it, but like if you want to just watch the first 7 episodes and you have a decent enough ending. don't watch the next time.

[thechangeling4]

OP makes a solid point about Grandpa Joe's lilness not being fake, but he's still an asshole(at least in the '71 movie).

Wonka dosn't force them to sign the contract, in fact he and the other contestans gives them several very good reasons to think carefully about signing it, and Joe says "sign away, Charlie!". They, specifically Joe, CHOOSE to sign.

He criticise the other kids. Specifically Veruca, "if she's a lady, I'm a vermicious knid", and Violet, "Because, Charlie, she's a nitwit"(with Augustus and Mike he's more dismissive then critical of their actions). And then he does the exact same as them.

Wonka tells them "No touching, no tasting, no telling". And Joe sees what happens to the others when they try products that Wonka tells them to stay away from and yet he still encourages Charlie to try the fizzy drink with him, "a small one won't hurt us" and "no one's watching", 'cause as long as you don't get caught it's okay, right? It's only by luck that that he discovers that burbing gets rid of the flying before the Oompa Loompas need to step in to save them. If they WOULD have stepped in, they might be more focused on the tour group, that Charlie and Joe were not surposed to leave. He could have gotten Charlie and himself seriously hurt, for a bit of fun.

At the end, when Wonka them shows them the door, Charlie asks "did we do something wrong?" And Joe says "I dont know". YES! You did something wrong. You went behind you host's back and drank product you were told not to. You STOLE from him. You KNOW how he reacted the last time someone stole from him, you saw what happend to they others who sampled things they shouldn't, you CHOOSE to sign the contract and yet you still stole from him. But when Wonka points this out and how they caused extra work for his staff and therefore get nothing more from him, Joe has the nerve to get angry, to accuse Wonka of being a cheating Charlie. As if they should get special treatment from they others. Joe. You did this. You are the adult. You didn't care about reading the contract, drinking the fizzy drink was your idea, YOU caused Charlie to lose. And then he tells Charlie he'll get even(not WE'LL get even but HE, Joe, will get even. As if he's the one Wonka cheated, not Charlie) and give Slugworth the gobstopper. He puts ALL the blame for the consequences of his own actions on Wonka. It's only Charlies kindness in giving back the gobstopper, in silently acknowleging that they did wrong and he's sorry and won't break a second promise by making a deal with Slugworth, even though this means that, materially, he gets nothing out of the trip, that changes Wonkas mind.

Grandpa Joe's illness might be real but he's still a hypocritical(and very possibly sexist) asshole and Charlie's mom should definitly discourage her son from listning to him.

Willy Wonka misconceptions

As Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / Willy Wonka has become weirdly popular lately because of the successful prequel film and most recently that really botched / rip-off Wonka event in Glasgow Scotland, it felt like a good time for this post.

Here are a list of popular misconceptions about the book and films.

1. Much of the Internet thinks of Wonka as a "Serial killer of children." I pointed out that at the end of the 2006 film and novel you see the children alive, though altered. And in the 1971 film that version of Wonka says that they will all be fine, but a little wiser. Someone tried to argue with me that he was just trying to placate Charlie. Really!? Since when did that Wonka ever lie to make people feel better?

Based on his previous behavior we have no reason to believe Wonka would lie just to make Charlie feel better. It's just a dark, edgy, annoying headcanon to pretend Wonka killed those other kids when every version tells you they survived.

____________________________

2. Grandpa Joe was not "Faking it" or "being lazy." It seems ironic to me that so many rant and even get genuinely angry about the character Grandpa Joe. It is especially odd to me when the rage is in regard to the depiction in the 1971 film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory.

The reason it is odd to me is because in the 1971 film Grandpa Joe very clearly was suffering through severe depression, possibly a long bipolar depression phase.

The depression is clear in his "I've got a golden Ticket" song.

"I never thought my life could be Anything but catastrophe"

"I never had a chance to shine Never a happy song to sing"

It seems weird to me that today people shame characters like Cinderella for not being assertive and empowered when she's a live-long abuse victim. And then you have the people against Disney's The Little Mermaid who say she gave up who and what she is for a man but ignore that she had a song number from before she ever saw Eric, where she expressed body dysphoria and made clear she wanted to be human even then.

And you have a large part of the Internet shaming Grampa Joe for being "lazy" and "faking being sick' while he's literally telling us that he he's been in a severe depression.

It's almost like watching a generation that supposedly respects mental illness and understands depression in ways previous generations didn't... suddenly having a justification to shame someone for having all the symptoms of clinical depression.

Hell, even the song "I've got a Golden Ticket" kind of indicates Grandpa Joe is entering a manic phase. If Grandpa Joe's illness is psychological why do we treat it as not-real? I get so annoyed at how many people mock the character or act like he's a con artist exploiting Charlie.

________________________

3. The Oompa Loompas were not slaves.

It's true that the earliest depictions of the Oompa Loompas were little African people (before the novel was revised) but in all versions he tells the kids that he pays them in coca-beans. That might sound like he pays them in fallen acorns he found in his garden but it's made clear that to Oompa Loompas, in their society, coca-beans are worth more than gold.

Try to imagine you got a job working for aliens who offer to pay you in large bars of gold if you just help him make some gold jewelry. But because gold isn't worth THAT much to these aliens they think you're a pathetic slave, even though Lofty (the Oompa Loompa from the new Wonka movie) probably now has a palace on Loompa Land that he uses as a summer house.

Interesting bit of trivia: Charlie was originally going to be black.

___________________________

4. Wonka (2023) is NOT a remake. A lot of people mistakenly think this is yet another remake. No. It's a musical prequel to the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie from 1971. ________________________

5. Lots of fans have "figured out" that the shoe shine boy Wonka sees early in Wonka is Charlie. One small problem with that. This is twenty-something Willy Wonka. Wonka was supposed to be pushing fifty or sixty when he went looking for an heir. The timeline wouldn't work. The director has confirmed that for this reason the shoe shine boy is NOT Charlie Bucket.

And there you go. A list of popular Wonka misconceptions debunked.

| yoongi | look me in the face

Yoongi x hybrid cat reader (reader is also mute)

Master list

Part 1 → part 2

Summary→ yoongi had always wanted a cat, not necessarily a hybrid but his best friend namjoon had successfully convinced him into getting a cat hybrid from their local rescue. He might not have known what he was getting himself into but he was fully committed to making himself her safe space

A/N: in box is open if you want to be in the tag list

Warning!: mention of abuse, trauma

"I'm not really looking for something like that right now" yoongi sleeply replied pouring coffee into the paper cup "come on hyung, there are so many hybrids in the system right now, you might end up just like me and jimin" namjoon said with confidence. Jimin was namjoons calico hybrid he got from a rescue two years ago, "i know and I'm happy for you, I'm just not much of a people's person" he said rubbing his temple "ill think about ok?" He said with sigh making namjoon smile.

That scene had replayed many time on his way to the shelter and even now as he waited inside the shelter walls. "Min yoongi" his attention turned to the worker as she took her seat at the desk in front of him. "How can i help you today mr.min?" She smiled "i was looking to adopt today" "alright we can do that, but please keep in mind we are a very new resuce so we don't have many hybrids right now, what breed are you looking for?" She said clicking open her pen. "I was looking for a cat hybrid" "your just in luck then, we have one black cat in right now, her name is y/n" she said with excitement "though..." Her tone changed "she dosn't really talk all that much , if that alright?" Yoongi took a minute before nodding his head "that's alright I'm pretty reserved myself" she nodded with a smile "alright ill leave you to sign these while i go get her for you" he nodded taking the clipboard of papers into his lap.

"Y/n this is mr.min, he'll be the one adopting you today" yoongi watched as gave a nod, your eyes glued to the floor. The lady gestured you over to the seat next to him as you clutched your small bag. "Hi y/n, I'm min yoongi, you can just call me yoongi though" he took a few minutes to finish up the paperwork and pay the worker. "Alright, you both can go home now" the worker smiled "thank you, " yoongi said before standing up "ill take you to my car" the car ride home was silent with only the music on the radio to fill the air. You followed yoongi into his apartment a few step behind him, "i know it's not the biggest but its pretty cozy" yoongj smiled showing you around the house, though you kept your gaze low you were able to tell it was a nice house. "This is your room, i didn't want to decorate it too much, I'll leave you to unpack"

Yoongi decided in the meantime he'd whip up some dinner. He set the plate of pasta on the table before heading to your room, "y/n? I made dinner" he looked around the blank room, your bag remained on the bed untouched "y/n?" He peered under the bed seeing your small figure huddled in the corner " I made dinner, would you like to come out?" You didn't respond at all. Maybe he could try one of those cat toys namjoon had bought him saying that jimin had really liked them.he unpacked the wand toy that had a little fluff ball at the end of it. "Y/n I got you something" he waved the toy around under the bed, you raised your head but let out a whine and pushed yourself further into the wall when the toy came closer, the quickly retraced the toy before leaving the room with a defeated sigh. "This is for you," he said placing the bull of food under the bed before exiting again. He sat at the table with his food, dialed some numbers before placing it to his ear "hey yoongi what's up? did you adopt your hybrid yet?" The younger male eagerly asked "yes but I don't think she likes me, she's hiding under the bed a won't come out, I tried the toy you gave me but it didn't work" "jimin did that to when he arrived, it's a cat thing, they need to be in a small space to adjust to change don't worry she should be out in a few days, she'll love you I know it" namjoon said trying to raise his spirits "thanks joon,I'll talk to you later" "ok bye hyung" he threw down his phone with a sigh "I hope so.."

The Emporors Voice on Voss

Hi, I think it's about time for a new theorie (actually I should have posted longer ago but I haven't had any ideas and still a lot to do IRL so I hope you like it.

As I saied in the caption I thought about the reasons for the Emporors Voice to be on Voss (where you get to free him as the Sith Warrior)

First I thaugt it all was a trap to distract the Empire from Zakuul. Like the Emporor had been gone for a long time and the Sith may become suspicoust and searching for him. So if he is there but just trapped there aren't that much questions left. Except that the Discusion if Darth Baras is the Voice of the Emporor weakens the Empire from the inside and his son(s) have a easy part by attacking it (for no obvious reason. Either it is supposed to be training for a real war or the Emporor wants the Eternal Empire, Zakuul, and the old galaxy in one).

But I don't think like that anymore. I think it has to do with the Scions which prophetical powers are close to Voss ones. This might be helpful for the Emporor when it comes to difficutlt questions. On the other hand it's a thread since you can't decive the Scions as easy as the other people of Zakuul. You don't tell them, they don't know. But the Scions could have visions of the old world and find out about his secred. So I suspect the Emporor had the aim to find out exactly how SelMakor works. On Voss we find out the dark power, SelMakor, is responsible for the Visions of the Voss yet they don't know about their own history since SelMakor determins exactly what they see. If the Emporor could learn how that works he could determin that the Scions don't see any of his secrets. That also could explain why he used the body of a Voss for this time. For an outsider it is very difficult to learn the Voss rituals and get accepted in the Voss society. However he needs the rituals to actually get to SelMakor. So he just uses the body of a Voss. Now we also can see why it was so important for him to get rid of the body. If he was still in the galactic Empire he just could have explained that he uses that body to get the Voss' secrets. The Dark Council and the Hand of the Emporor would have acceped that (noboy would have dared questioning him anyway). But he wasn't able to use that body on Zakuul since they've had never heared anything about Voss (or the species Voss since they only exist on this particular planet).

Another posibile reason could be that the Emporor actually wanted to create the Scions. On Voss it's SelMakor which gives the Visons to the species. However why the Scions have their visions isn't explained yet. But it is explained that the Scions are the religious leadership on Zakuul whil the Emporor is the political one. Religions always have had a big part in the live of the Emporor. (Without religion there wouldn't be war between Sith and Jedi. Actually there wouldn't be any Sith or Jedi). But both the codex of the Sith (which ignores rationality and only focuses on feelings) and the one of the Jedi (which totally ignores feelings and only focus on rationality) have their weaknesses. So a new codex for Zakuul wouldn't be the solution. So a different solution for a religion was needed. A bunch of visionairs would be something interesting. And as I've mentioned bevore it is SelMakor to give the Voss their visions. So if the Emporor could learn how to give people visions and determin what they see would be great for the Emporor to create the Scions. (This also would explain why the Scions don't have any Visions of the Emporor just as the Voss don't have any visions of SelMakor). However that dosn't explain exactly who becomes a Scion. In the theorie bevore it actually just were some random force sensitive people. In the new vision the Emporor has to decide who recives the visions. Either he gives it to people he trusted bevore to make the religious and political leadership work together closely or it were some random force sensitive people. Since the game dosn't tell us anything here I just leave both options as they are.

Now we get to the question how and why Darth Baras has trapped the Emporor (excluding that he wanted to be the Voice of the Emporor)

As we already get to know in the begin of the story line Darth Baras talks to the Emporor (yet he is pretty much a nobody what means he is neither in the Dark Council nor is he especially influencial despide the fact he is a Darth). So why would the Emporor even bother talking to him. One reason could be that Darth Baras knew about the Voss and he was specialised in infiltrate things or people and did exactly that for the Emporor on Voss. It also could have given him the oportunity to trap the Emporor if he kept parts of the information for himself. However I don't really believe in that since the Emporor wouldn't blindly trust Darth Baras or anyone else without checking the information himself.

I rahter believe that it actually wasn't Darth Baras to trap him and rather an accident. When the Emporor got the SelMakor to find out about it's powers he just got overwelmed by them. The Emporor can't die or something due to rituals but he hasn't anything against a thing like SelMakor which isn't at least a natural being but a power which is created and strenghened by over 1000 years of war. So when the Emporor tries to find out all its secrets he gets overwelmed and captured by it. But why don't tell the Warrior? First of all it would mean to admit a weaknes and second the Sith Warrior is already hunting down Darth Baras which means he wouldn't request the Emporor at all and his secred is kept one more time while the anger in the Warrior is strengened.

However my second explanation dosn't explain why Darth Baras is talking to the Emporor at the begin of the story line. In this part it's questionable if he even saies the truth or only want to show his new aprentice that requesting him wouldn't be good. If it actually is the truth this meeting could be about anything. Maybe the Emporor really is decieving Baras by telling him he becomes the Voice of the Emporor. Therefore is the question why. The reason could be Darth Baras infiltration skills which I've mentioned bevore. If someone would find out about Zakuul it might be Baras. However if Darth Baras would be killed for decieving the Dark Council there would be nobody left who is as good infiltrating as him. That also explains why the Sith Warrior becomes the Wrath of the Emporor. He actually only is allowed to fight when the Emporor saies so. That means if the original char what it is suposed to do he won't be there when Ziost is attacked which means it would be more easy for the Emporor to consume it. And the char wouldn't be there when Zakuul eventually attacks the old world.

The Devil ending - analysis of Takemura's situation

LONG POST

Here I wrote that The Devil ending is better for Goro than the others, but honestly - it isn't. I think in this ending he also has his life fcked up, just in a less obvious (?) way. I mean, he hasn't fully realized it yet, but working for Arasaka, which was his whole life, won't be the same anymore.

But from the beginning: I assume Goro dosn't consider himself an ordinary worker. Rather something like, I don't know, a friend of the family? Maintaining the hierarchy, of course and so on, but the way he talks about Saburo reveals that he sees him as a kind of mentor. His duties also went beyond the usual bodyguard activities (talk about onigiri and protein bars). I'm sure Goro really believes that Saburo sees him as more than just an employee. I don't know if he is counting on any material reward for helping to overthrow Yorinobu, I don't think so. Rather, he sees it as a duty and repaying all that Arasaka has done for him. But I think he is counting on gratitude at least.

The first humiliation is at the very beginning - from Hellman, whom he despises, he learns who is on Relic. It's important, because of Relic Saburo died, and now V is dying. While I understand, why Saburo didn't tell him what Yorinobu stole (after all, it shouldn't matter to Goro), I don't understand why V never told him about it (which isn't entirely true, but about that another time). Well, this is the first moment Goro can feel that he isn't being treated as he thought.

The second time is obvious - this is when V tells him about the Saburo engram. Not much to write - you can see Goro is unpleasantly surprised. But his beloved boss is "alive"! He should be happy, right?

But he isn't. That's why when V tells him to leave Arasaka, he is sad, not offended. He already feels that his whole life has been an delusion, that he has never been nothing more than a tool.

This can also be seen in a conversation at the station. He can't say it straight, but he isn't proud of what he has helped. And his new responsibilities? A man whose work is his whole life refuses to talk about it? Does he not want to boast about how he was rewarded for his faithfulness? Honestly I think sending him away from Saburo is a degradation for him. The ultimate sign of losing trust.

He also says "we are nobody to them". During the reconnaissance conversation he didn't think so. There are plenty of little signs in this conversation that Goro has finally realized that the Arasaks care about nothing but themselves. They don't fix the world for people like him.

Additionally, there is a sentence in the game files which shows that Goro is satisfied with his new job (more here). But that has been changed. This convinced me that my impression that Takemura was unhappy was true.

Like many, I did this ending solely for Goro's sake, but I regret it. Honestly, I think the best ending for him is death in his hideout. But it's fcking hard to leave him to die.

thank you to everyone who read and sorry for the poor english

Hey guys! This is my first headcanon. I actually thought up at 4am. Soft Lucio. I think Lucio is actually super gentle with the right person. He proves that with how he treats animals. Hope you enjoy!

"Don't tell anyone I'm nice."

Lucio stirs from his sleep after a nightmare. He can't quite remember what it was about. He looks to you, lying next to him in bed. He sees your arms are wrapped around a furry ball. After his eyes adjust to the dim light, he recognizes it as Portia's cat. Funny, how did she get in here? Lucio hears a hushed voice outside the window. It's nearly 3am, who could be out so late? He get up investigate. Careful not to disturb you. It's Portia, softly calling for her cat.

Portia: "Pepi! Pepi?! Pepi where are you?!"

Lucio opens the window, leaning out just enough so she can't see he dosn't have his golden arm on.

LUCIO: "Portia? It's quite late to be out for a stroll hmm?"

Portia freezes, wide eyed, a mixture of embarrassment and terror flashes across her face.

Portia: "Oh Count Lucio! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to wake you! It's just, I haven't seen Pepi sense lunchtime. I'm worried about her!

Lucio throws up his had to stop her hasty explanation.

Lucio: "It's quite alright Portia, I was already awake, and it seems dear Pepi has found her way into my chambers. Care to come up and fetch her?"

In his sleepy state, his cocky, over-the-top attitude is just too much effort.

Portia: "Oh thank you sir! I'm so sorry! So so so so sorr-"

Portia's apologies fade as she hurries away from the window to find the nearest entrance. Lucio puts his arm on before she comes up. That is the one thing he won't be seen without. He then goes and waits by the door with it cracked so Portia won't have to knock. He can hear Portia before he sees her, profusely apologizing as she briskly walks up the hallway.

Portia: "-o sorry Count Lucio Pepi never comes into the castle! She's going to get a talking to when we get back to the cottage I assure you!"

Lucio: "No need Portia, I doubt cats understand the concept of a talking to anyway, heaven knows I didn't as a child. I barely do now."

Lucio gives Portia a sleepy but joking smile.

Lucio: "The only problem is said removal of Pepi..."

Lucio swings the door open wide to reveal Pepi snuggled under your chin, your arms wrapped snugly around her. Portia hesitantly steps in, but she covers her mouth and her eyes sparkle at the sheer adorableness of the sight before her.

Lucio: "...because even I, the great and terrible Count Lucio, could not bring myself to tear sweet Pepi away. So the job falls to you Portia. Though I doubt you are more ruthless than myself."

Portia steps a little closer to your bedside, hands tentatively hovering over you and Pepi. Her lip quivers as she turns back to Lucio.

Portia: "Oh sir I can't do it! They are just so cute! I'm even a little jealous. Pepi never cuddles me like that!"

Portia puts her hands on her hips and pouts, eyes fixed on Pepi sleeping peacefully in your arms. Lucio chuckles softly, mimicking Portia's pout.

Lucio: "I agree, I always have to be the big spoon! Oh but when it's Pepi wanting snuggles all of a sudden they have no problem being the big spoon!"

Portia giggles behind her hand. When she Turns back to Lucio, she looks at him for a moment not as Count of Vesuvia, but as just any other man. That all of a sudden, he's not this towering figure, but just a person. Like anyone else.

Portia: "If it's all the same to you sir, do you mind if Pepi stays the night? Don't worry about having to bring her back to the cottage. She's smart, she found her way here, she can find her way back."

Lucio sighs and lumbers to your bedside, crouching down so he's face to face with the sleeping cat.

Lucio: " I do believe Pepi has given me no choice, neither of us has the guts to disturb them. So there she shall stay. Just crack the door so she can leave on her own."

Portia smiles wide, moving to step out the door when she stops, she watches Lucio gently move a stray strand of hair from your face, then lightly kisses you on your cheek. Again, he looks more like a normal man than a mighty ruler.

Portia: "Count Lucio?"

Lucio: "Yes Portia?"

Lucio's tender gaze stays fixed on you as Portia speaks

Portia: "Permission to speak freely?"

Lucio: "Of course."

Portia: "Well, it's just... well I... I didn't work here when you were Count before. So maybe I'm wrong. But from what I have heard you um... uh... don't have the best... reputation. B-but even though you can be quite... eccentric, I don't see the bad guy everyone talks about. I honestly can't imagine you going through with half of the threats you make. N-not that your a liar! It's just... I think your a better person than people think. At least your are now. I'm- I'm sorry if that was out of line. I just don't think it's fair the way some people talk about you, and I wanted you to know that I don't agree with them."

Lucio smiles softly while his eyes are still fixed or your sleeping face. His eyes are dreamy as he commits every one of your features to memory. As if he will never see you sleep again.

Lucio: "Thank you Portia. That means quite a lot. You are not wrong I have done some... pretty awful things in the past. But the past is where those things are going to stay, and having someone acknowledge that is gratifying."

Lucio straightens and turns to look at Portia. A mischievous grin spreads across his face.

Lucio: "That being said I have a reputation to uphold! Can't have people thinking I have gone soft now, people will start taking advantage of my kindness if there aren't repercussion. So if you would please Portia I ask you keep this a secret. Count Lucio is just as fearsome as he has always been!"

Lucio puffs out his chest and gives a half hearted angry look. Portia rolls her eyes.

Portia: "My lips are sealed sir! If you have gone soft well nobody is going to hear it from me!"

Portia moves out the door, cracking just enough for Pepi to slip through if need be.

Portia: " Goodnight Count Lucio!"

Lucio turns his gaze back onto you, he's almost amazed that neither you nor Pepi stired from your sleep at all.

Lucio: "Goodnight miss Portia, Pepi will be safe in here."

With that Portia's footsteps fade down the hallway. Once hes sure of no more interruptions Lucio removes his golden arm and carefully slides back into bed. He wraps his arm around your waist and buries his face in your hair. He lets out a deep sigh and whispers to you.

Lucio: "Now see what you have gone and done? People are starting to think I'm soft. Oh well, I guess there are worse fates for a washed up mercenary. I mean how could I complain when I have someone as perfect as you in my bed every night? ... I truly do not deserve to love you. And yet here I am. And the most unbelievable part is that you love me back."

Hi!! Idk if you've found a better site to watch Zenkai on yet btput tokufun is good enough if nyaa.si dosn't work. Nyaa.si does mkv downloads so you do need a third part app to view it, I use Flud!

Tokufun doesn't have very good quality for their videos but the subs are the same as the nyaa.si ones and they both come out at the same time! I don't know what you are currently watching on but if the website is some variation of "cooldrama" or "dramacool" etc, it's a dangerous site. There are like 7 versions of that website and it's all just spam stuff. Please be careful!!

I hope you have a good day!!

THANK YOUUU MWAH i appreciate this i was wondering if there was a better place to watch it because i was unfortunately watching on a dramacool website gngmh hope you have a great day!!

Imna ramble about Circuit cuz why tf not?

Ok so.. Basic info:

Female, she/her, born like 2000 smth years ago, demon, she runs a circus called Circuit's Circus of Odds and Ends, wich I'll get to the name of that later. Shes pan and has a gf sometimes (its like an only when i feel like writing her in thing) her gf's name is Madison btw. Uh.. Shes gotta brother, his name is Alistor and hes a mystery demon, more on him later. Ok so,

Backstory stuff:

She was born forever ago (no specifoc time but shes said to had been a demon for 2400+ years present time in her universe) she never knew her dad super well and wasn't hella close to her mom. Shes the oldest and her mom died a year or two after Alistor was born. She lived until she was 15 and died from an illness cuz meds were shitty back then. After dying the giant furry goat man gave her advice to stay in purgatory until she was 20, which she did and ended up not regretting it because there aren't many demons who are kids and she could get eaten up out there. She met her friend Scott a couple of years before she really got her circus running and by then she had a very smol crew. He helped her grow by staring as a guest star and they've been friends for forever. For a while it was quiet till like say 1500~ years before present time she found Alistor. A good 2 years before present time they became friends with Dillan and Eliza.

Alistor:

Alistor was p close to Circ before she died, he ended up living till 30 and had 3 kids, he wrote mystery novels and shit. He's always been a total dumbass. Uh.. He grew up with the idea about how demons were bad, and there is a problem with demons getting corrupted sometimes so he worries he might get corrupted too. Hes a good boy.

Her Circus:

"Circuit's Circus of Odds and Ends" is pretty famous. Ciruit and the other demons don't have much of a specific home universe so they go to different ones- like they'll set up in Cuphead or Gravityfalls. The 'Odds and Ends' part is because all of her crew are demons who she found who needed a job, and now work for her. The oldest worker is Amelia, a fortune teller, then theres Randy, a clown, who can make lil minion like things for the other clowns. Bruce, a manticor and Elephant handler, and Juliet, the assistant manticor handler. Circuit's live of the circus stated when she was young. Her nanny had taken her and as soon as the show was over she begged to go to the next one. She also got her favorite toy there, a stuffed elephant that she named peanut and carried around with her for all the rest of her life. She lost it when she died, but Alistor got it back for her.

Madison:

Maddy is more of a concept. Like, a what if kinda thing? I don't always have her there when I write Circuit, but she still has a kinda story. "During one of her shows in Gravityfalls, Circuit caught sight of an especially pretty human in the crowd. After the show she couldn't seem to get her from her head. She ended up finding out where she lived and started sending her anonymous gifts and trinkets from her travels. After a while she came back to Gravityfalls to find Madison to be in the seats again. They meet after the show, and after a bit of knowing eachother they become a thing." Thats what I have for her lol.

Other Fun Facts and Silly Stuff:

-Ciruit isn't her actual name, its her stange name. Her actual name is Charity (or Cathy, I havn't decided yet) but she always hated it, so after deciding on the stage name "Circuit", she started just using that as her name.

-She often times wheres her gloves, and when she dosn't, she has an odd habit of rubbing her thumb on the back of her other hand, or her cane- staff- thing.

-Circ prefers highwaisted shirts and jacket big time, and refuses to wear pants- only shorts.

-she like wearing rlly big T-shirts to bed.

-she loves her crew with all her heart and no matter what if anything happened to them she'd be so heart broken and will gladley lay her after-life down on the line for them and any of her other friends!!!!!! She just loves her lil' family!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3

-very dominate in relationships and honestly dosn't take shit when she dosn't have to.

-good at faking a smile and putting up a front for a show but honestly usually very blunt with how she feels about shit.

Ok sorry its so long thx for reading my rambling if amyone did get this far--

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR OCs PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! WRITE A DESCRIPTION ABOUT THEM!!! ALSO READ THE COMMENTS AND COMPLIMENT OTHER PEOPLE ON THEIR RAD OCs!!!!!!!
