i am so goddamn tired of every single fantasy story being about men. i am so goddamn tired of women being side characters and love interests and set dressing and an afterthought. i am so goddamn tired of women who are powerful but feminine. women who are "dressed to kill" and they are wearing eyeliner and a dress and heels. i am so goddamn tired of women always being healers and having water magic. i am so goddamn tired of men going on adventures and dying nobly. i am so goddamn tired of never being able to find a story about women that i can fall in love with. i am so goddamn tired of all fandom being about men.
#i have spent the past several weeks becoming increasingly upset about this#hannibal? men. lotr/the hobbit? men. stargate atlantis? men. dragon age inquistion? men. one piece? men.#the handful of superhero's i periodically read about? men. transformers? men. every goddamn anime i've ever loved? men.#the witcher? men. fantasy anachronism? men. literally every single fantasy adventurer series? men.#it's men and men and men and men and men and men and men and men#i just want ONE. one single goddamn story about women that is as well written and well made and as deep as everything else#i want ONE story about a women or women who are noble and honorable and fight in the face of impossible odds#and i don't want them to be pretty and small and feminine#make them hairy and fat and muscular and tall and wear steel toed boots and carry swords and fight monsters and sleep in the woods#and eat stew and carry heavy packs for long distances and be intelligent and sneaky and cowardly and fearful and brave#make them laugh and cry and scream and fall in love and write poetry and books and songs#make them wrestle and pick on each other and pull each others hair and sit around campfires#MAKE THEM GODDAMN PEOPLE#there are books out there about women going on adventures. they exist. i've read some#but they are not the majority and they never get big#and so many end up being poorly written or a romance or a combo of the two#i don't WANT to have to read genderbends just to read about women#i don't want to scroll tumblr and just see men on my dash#all i have ever wanted my whole life is to be a fantasy adventurer. and none of them. not ONE of them looks like me#i am tired of watching youtube critiques of fantasy shows/movies/stories and them just shitting on the women characters#i am just so tired of it

Ai the somnium files for the fandoms ask? You can include nirvana initiative if you want :3
I think I did one of these for AI about a month ago??? But my memory's terrible so I might as well just do it again šŸ‘
3 male characters I love:
Kaname Date, I'm usually not a fan of the pervy character in things, but Date works so well because 1) He thinks all these things and makes comments but he never actually does stuff to people to make them uncomfortable, and 2) It's not his defining characteristic, he's so much more than horny. Like he's a great detective, he cares about his peers and wants to keep them safe, he's a great father figure even if he doesn't really know what he's doing, he's just such a great character. Also Greg Chun's performance is šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ
Kuruto Ryuki, *slaps roof* this boy can fit so many mental illnesses. I love this boy but goddamn he is a filthy liar whenever he says "I'm fine". But his story was so engaging and you really feel for him when it clicks into place. Like I've been giving the game a second playthrough with the knowledge of the twist and wow so many scenes hit different. Also, this is the first time I've heard Stephen Fu in a big role (The only other time I've heard him is Douma from KNY and he's only appeared a couple of times so far) and wow, I really wanna hear more of his work because his performance was incredible.
Pewter, I dunno he dresses like a fruity PokƩmon villain and he's got an awkward yet charming personality. Not to mention, his story in the right path of the first game made me feel so bad for him... Like damn, just let this man be happy please, he deserves it. Also, I know I'm a broken record, but Sean Chiplock's performance, his delivery on the weirder lines are so funny (Yes I am thinking about the chairs line, how did you know?)
3 female characters I love:
Aiba, I fucking adore Aiba. She's the best. I love how she's the straight man to Date's shenanigans IRL but when they're in somniums, Date is the straight man to her shenanigans, I love her excitement whenever she sees bugs, I love how she knows Date so well she can manipulate him into being a better fighter, I love her lil jelly hamster form, I love Erika Harlacher's performance, I just really, really love Aiba.
Mizuki Date, I don't even know where to start with Mizuki... She's honestly one of the best written child characters I've seen in a game. And this poor girl has been through so much in both games but her route in the first game had me sobbing buckets. Not to mention, Corrina Boegetter's performance, they really knocked it out of the park for every single facet of Mizuki's personality. Also they genuinly managed to sound like a twelve year old, that's impressive all by itself.
Shizue Kuranushi, Listen... I am not immune to hot women voiced by Allegra Clark, okay? I'm only human. But seriously... Her design, her personality, her dedication to her co-workers, her office and the funny interactions that come from all the stuff she just doesn't throw away, and the fact that's somehow simultaneously a girlboss and a cringefail milf???? Impressive. She has the range, darling.
Also, quick shout-out to Tama, I adore her and her crazy laugh so much
3 romantic ships I love:
Kaname Date/Hitomi Sagan, god those two are so cute, really bummed they barely interacted in the sequel...
Kaname Date/Kuruto Ryuki, Date has two hands. But seriously, the admiration Ryuki has for Date and the way they watch out for each other is really sweet
Iris Sagan/Amame Doi, cute bubblegum colours but also they have each others backs and they always have fun hanging out with each other
There was another ship I wanted to add but it's spoilery and a mutual was considering potentially checking out the series so I thought it would be best to leave it out. But if you've played the first game, you can probably guess who it is.
3 platonic dynamics I love:
Kaname Date/Mizuki Date, I mean... Chances are if you've been following me for a while you know that I am just a huge sucker for family dynamics. And the dynamic of adopted father/daughter viewing each other as their real family but being too embarrassed to admit is something I adore.
Kuruto Ryuki/Tama, I love these two so much. I love how IRL Ryuki is just so done with all of Tama's dirty jokes and then in somniums Tama is so done with all of Ryuki's weird suggestions and skits. But also it's their concern for each other, you can tell they're partners. I feel like the best example of this is when Tama insists that Ryuki goes to the hospital no matter how much he protests, like... She just wants him to be safe and healthy...
Ota Matsushita/Mayumi Matsushita, god the Ota route destroyed me when I played through it but seeing them as a family getting through their issues was so sweet. I won't go into detail because it's personal but a few months ago I went offline for a while because of a family emergency and it's because of similar situation to Mayumi. So yeah, playing that hit hard.
3 favorite moments in canon:
The ending scenes of both games. If you know, you know.
Again, I wanna avoid spoilers but the Annihilation Route interrogation. Holy shit that scene was incredible.
The final scene in the final Somnium of Nirvana Initiative. Just... Goddamn that hit hard and the delivery of the "I have no regrets!" Crushed me.
3 favorite headcanons:
I honestly can't think of any headcannons off the top of my head... And I've been typing this response for way longer I intended... Sorry...
3 least favorite things about it:
Some of the somniums can have some obscure logic but like... Not in the way that you proud when you figure it out, but more angry in a "how the hell was I supposed to figure that out?" Kinda way.
I really hate how Ryuki and Tama just got kinda shoved to the side halfway through Nirvana Initiative. Like they stole the show for a lot of their scenes and then once the Mizuki Route started they barely appeared and when they did, they weren't really shown in the best light, especially Ryuki. Granted there's a plot reason for this but still... It's disappointing. If there's an AI3, I hope they get more screentime.
I feel like Tearer really didn't get enough screentime in Nirvana Initiative, especially when unmasked. Like c'mon this is the main antagonist, give us more of him! Especially considering his entire backstory, that's a lot of really interesting stuff to build off of! Also just... I wanted to hear more of Billy Kametz' villainous performance. It was rare to hear him in those roles but he was so damn good in them.

3, 4, and 13!
ty!!!
(3) what were your top five books of the year?
in no particular order i loved:
mrs caliban by rachel ingalls. this is SO good. ingalls went straight on my list of forgotten 20th century women that i want to become. actually it's an extremely short list but she's on it right behind my forever queen gina berriault look her up
what you can see from here by mariana leky. honestly this has faded from my memory a little bit since i read it in the spring but i remember being totally obsessed with the prose and narrative movement of this. id love to relearn all my german and read this in the original and also all leky's other books (i believe she has other novels but idk if any have been translated?)
a home at the end of the world by michael cunningham. is it boring to recommend michael cunningham maybe. did this book make me insane and do i frequently think about specific lines and phrases from particularly the first third of it YES. michael call me i just want to talk
the tree and the vine by dola de jong. being in secret unrequited love with your roommate is so scary and horrible ! this book is like a very very sharp gemstone !
all fires the fire by julio cortƔzar. cortƔzar is one of my favorites ever and this collection is just like completely complex and perfect like a box of bitter chocolates. right after german i will be learning spanish in order to experience these stories for the first time in a new way again
honorable mentions to:
reprieve by james han mattson. it's possible that this isn't good but i had SO much fun reading it. one of the only books i have read over the past few years that i found really and truly exciting. escape room novel!!!!
the glassy, burning floor of hell by brian evenson. good book! but MOST importantly my favorite title of the year.
anddddddd interview with the vampire. sorry. i loved this.
(4) did you discover any new authors that you love this year?
definitely rachel ingalls! i had heard of her but never read her and i am so pleased to have finally dipped my toesies into her work. maybe rivka galchen too... everyone knows your mother is a witch was good and i am excited to see if i like her other work even better. and dola de jong! i had never even heard of her! if any of her other work is ever available in english translation i will be sprinting to the library
(13) what were your least favorite books of the year?
ahh yes my favorite. hating. let's see...
the charm offensive by alison cochrun. unfortunately had to revoke the bisexuality card of the dear friend who recommended this to me. stupid and really bad in ways that matter (fetishistic strange representation of gay men) as well as ways that are just annoying (horrible prose and overtherapized emotional narratives)
a visit from the goon squad by jennifer egan. sad that i broke my 11 year streak of never reading this but it was required for a class. the PULITZER PRIZE? for LITERATURE? are you SURE?
the snow queen by michael cunningham. goddamn the higher they climb the harder they fall!!!!!!! this was one of the worst structured and most sloppily and fluffily written novels i have ever read. and from the king of structure and perfect sharp prose himself. sad... well there's other fiction writers
how to find your way in the dark by derek b miller. a genuinely antisemitic book recommendation from the aforementioned formerly bisexual dear friend. horribly written and with a bad case of my protagonist is the specialest little boy in the world. special shoutout to this book for inspiring the novel i am currently working on by being so bad that i looked at it and thought even i could do a better job at this
the temps by andrew deyoung. no more clever little books by clever little guys. it is appropriate that the cover of this is green like toxic slutch because it gave me horrible indigestion. thinks it is so smart about the world and is so fundamentally mistaken about every single one of the issues it tries to tackle
and i COULD GO ON!!!!! there are bad books being published every day on this bitch of an earth!
this was so fun i love yelling

i rant about resident evil and their writing / inclusion of the girls.
i jsut want 2 girls to go on their fucked up little adventures together is that too much to ask
i finally got to the halfway point of code veronica X and GODDDD i fucking knew they were gonna do this goddamn shit w/ steve and claire. i knew from the goddamn beginning even if i didnt want to admoit it...... residetn evil just cant be normal w/ a girl being paired w/ a guy. they just fucking cant
i understand that this is seen more among the older games (ashley + leon from re4 as well) and i cant speak for the og re3 nemesis but the way they wrote carlos and jill? its just.... why make these male characters say such bizarre and degrading and just ? nasty comments towards the female protag? do you really expecvt us to root for them? i just dont fcuking undeerstand, and this occurs in a remake too! they didnt bother to maybe just maaaybe take that bulllshit out. because jill's uncomfortable. IM uncomfortable. its just. godddd who the fuck caaaares STOP THIS TROPE
you see this same thing w/ steve and claire.... not oonly is steve incredibly fucking annoying the first second we meet him, he also continually acts as a nuisance towards her for a good quarter of the game. yeah sure theyre just building up to the Ground Breaking Emo backstory drop later, but. you already made me fucking hate this loser so goddamn much meaning im not gonna give a single shit about his development later. I JUST DONT CARE FOR HIM !!!!!! THEM MAKING HIM SO ANNOYINH RUINED ANY CHANCE OF ME CHANGING MY MIDN LATER.......
and GOD havent even mentioned this yet but. when i saw the little preview thing w/ the 3 characters w/ claire + chris i saw [steve] and went.... [eyeballs] hello whos this? long story short i thoiught he was a butch lesbian and i got SO excite d b c residtn ebil has yet to pair a girl up w/ anothner girl around the same age but noooooo instead i got this pathetic loser of a man (derogatory). the closest we have to 2 girls being fucked up together is mia and zoe in re7. but thats like. mainly a side thing. and mia isnt even the protag so
which leads me to the next thng i wanted to talk about. i think mnmen are super cool ofc and i hate to be that Bitch and pull that Card but good freaking god why must there be a man FOR EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES...... andit woudlnt be huge deal if they were noraml w/ these pairings but theyre NOT..... THEY MAKE IT WEIRD EVERY SINGLE TIME..... STEVE LITERALLY ALMOST KISSES CLAIRE WHILE SHE'S ASLEEP........ CARLOS CONSISTENTLY MAKES UNNECESSARILY WEIRD COMMENTS TOWARD JILL......... ASHLEY RANDOMLY AWSKS FOR SEX AT THE END OF RE4............ WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT AOBUT? good for ashley for shooting her shot i guess though but considering yhe game's previous comments towards ashleu and her figure.... it was blatantly put in to sexualize her furtyher
maybe its thr lesbian in me popping out maybe its the aromantic in me popping out WHO KNOWS all i know is that. resident evil makes me very upset sometimes dflkgnjg i love the games i love the characters (esp the girls big surprise i know) but jesus christ. somethings i just can't ignore. and this is cerrtainly one of them. a girl just can't exist out of a guy according to capcom. and that sort of idea is suuuper evident in how they portray and include their women. you could have a girl protag (re3, recv etc) but theres always a 99% chance theres gonna be a man tagging along + continually saving their asses and theres almost alwaysa an even HIGHER chance that theyre meant to be seen as a romantic interest! and its exhausting@!!!!!
long story short . i get im not resident evil's target audience . but im still gonna be pissed and annoyed . the girls deserve better .
im def gonna have to go more in depth abt resident evil and their writing of relationships (or lack thereof) some other time but just for now. the best written ones are claire + sherry and mia + ethan goodbye

you ask me what iā€™m thinkingĀ about (spencer reid x fem!reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: On a night out, Reader discovers that her crush, Spencer Reid is a virgin and takes him home. 3.3k words
A/N: This is literally the fastest Iā€™ve ever written anything oh my god. Anyways, enjoy.
Warnings: Literal fucking filth, the whole thing. Sub!Spencer smut, fingering, oral (m and f receiving), penetration, praise kink.
-
ā€œOkay, never have I ever done it standing up against a wall,ā€ Penelope said, beginning a game of the most childish, yet absolute most fun drinking game ever.
ā€œUnfair, Pen, I told you that story yesterday,ā€ you whined, throwing back a shot of cheap tequila, noticing Emily and Derek join you. The whole team (minus the dads Hotch and Rossi) were gathered on the floor of Penelopeā€™s living room unwinding after a case.
ā€œAllā€™s fair in love and war,ā€ Penelope said with a drunken grin.
ā€œThatā€™s actually not how that saying should be applied, and if you look back to the--ā€ Spencer started before he was cut off. He was easily the most sober of the group, which was saying something. Even he was bleary-eyed and swaying slightly in his seat.
You ran your eyes over his frame hungrily. Deciding to get drunk around the man you had a massive crush on was starting to look like a mistake as you found yourself leaning closer to him, stabilizing yourself on his thigh when you wobbled. You heard his breath hitch. You smiled, tracing your fingers over his clothed skin quickly before removing your hand.
ā€œSorry,ā€ you said lowly, eyes lingering on his lips.
God what you wouldnā€™t do to kiss those lips raw and bite them--
ā€œY/N? Itā€™s your turn,ā€ you heard Emily say from across the room.
You turned to them, thinking. Oh, you knew a way to get nearly every single one of them (save maybe Emily) to drink.
ā€œNever have I ever been a virgin at the age of seventeen,ā€ you said smugly. Workplace gossip paid off.
Everyone except Emily rolled their eyes and threw back a shot, mumbling complaints.
Derek laughed and said, ā€œNever have I ever been a virgin at my current age.ā€
You looked around, confused. Who on earth--
Oh.
Well, that is delightful, you thought as you watched Spencer sigh, flip Derek off, and take a shot.
ā€œDonā€™t worry, pretty boy, weā€™ll get you laid one of these days,ā€ Derek said.
Every single dirty thought you had ever had about this man doubled the instant you realized the world you could show him. The heat between your legs increased. Thanks to the alcohol, you had no problem scooting even closer to him as the game progressed. You hoped he would use his 187 IQ and crazy smart profiler brain to pick up what you were trying to tell him when you lightly grazed his hand with your pinky and drooped your head onto his shoulder. Sure enough, you heard his breathing speed up and he glanced down at you, his curious eyes meeting your lustful ones. He cleared his throat before looking back at the group. You sat like that for the rest of the game.
After a couple more hours of just sitting around and goofing off, you were definitely getting sober. The room no longer spun pleasantly and your body lacked the hum that came with drinking.
What didnā€™t wear off, though, was the thrumming need between you and Spencer. You were always flirty with him and he always blushed and tried to reciprocate, but this was a whole different level. He would turn to you occasionally, as if to reassure himself that you were, in fact, still looking at him like you wanted to pin him up against a wall and it would leave him slightly out of breath.
You loved the effect you had on him, how one glance of yours could leave him shuddering softly.
When everyone (sober enough, Emily was definitely crashing on the couch) finally started to stand up and get ready to leave, you took your opportunity and grabbed Spencer by the arm, whispering, ā€œMy place?ā€ sweetly in his ear. He inhaled sharply and nodded his head, trailing after you out the door, both of you saying your goodbyes.
Spencer had taken the Metro, so you went in the same car and it was torture. You kept your hand on Spencerā€™s thigh the entire time, leaving him to shift in his seat, hoping to find more friction.
ā€œPatience,ā€ you said sweetly. He gulped and nodded.
As soon as you pulled up to your apartment, you practically pulled him over the console by the tie and kissed him.
You grabbed the base of Spencerā€™s head, twisting your fingers harshly through his hair before bringing his lips to yours. The kiss was hungry, teeth clashing, and Spencer returned it eagerly. You ran your hands over his chest, stopping only to brush his nipples, which earned you a shudder and he pushed closer to you.
You broke the kiss, saying, ā€œLetā€™s take this upstairs.ā€
Spencer nodded enthusiastically, following you up the stairs to your apartment door. Once inside, you turned and kissed Spencer sweetly, a contrast from in the car.
You pulled away, his face in your hand, and said, ā€œAre you good?ā€
Spencer said, ā€œYeah. I trust you.ā€
Your heart swelled exponentially. You were so lucky.
ā€œAnything you donā€™t like and we stop, okay? Youā€™re safe with me.ā€ you said, playfully stern.
Spencer smiled, nodding and leaned back in to kiss you. You stopped him with a finger against his lips.
ā€œI need to hear you say it,ā€ you replied, eyebrows raised, cupping his face in your hand.
Spencerā€™s eyes widened and you felt his pants tighten against your hip.
ā€œYes,ā€ he breathed.
Oh, this was an interesting development. You hadnā€™t wanted to bring this side of you out so soon, but Spencer seemed so eager for it.
You smiled, running your thumb back and forth on his cheek. ā€œDo you like it when I take control, Spence?ā€ You gripped his hip in the other hand.
His breathing shallowed, eyes fluttering when your finger dipped under his shirt and pants and rubbed small circles into his hip bone. He nodded weakly.
Your hand on his face shifted to grip his chin, bringing his eye level down to you.
ā€œBaby, use your words,ā€ you said sweetly, taking your time.
ā€œYes. Please,ā€ Spencer basically whined, and it went straight to your core.
Okay, this was happening.
You moved your hand that was on his hip and cupped his bulge, running your fingers back and forth softly. He let out a small whimper and his hips moved subtly, begging for more. You smiled, every movement electrifying you further.
ā€œWhy donā€™t you take your clothes off for me and meet me in the bedroom?ā€ you said sweetly, obviously not intending it as a question.
Spencer nodded, pulling away from you slowly before walking back to where he knew your bedroom to be.
You took a second to collect yourself, every movement making you painfully aware of how soaked you were.
You were typically fine having vanilla sex or even pretending to submit to a man every once in a while, because men didnā€™t typically like to hear that you wanted them to submit to you. It got old after a while, though, and just yesterday you had been considering popping in to the local BDSM club to find someone.
But today had proven to be exactly what you needed. Not only were you about to fuck the man youā€™d had a crush on for a while, but he was sitting pretty in the bedroom, waiting for your next command.
Fuck, you thought, rubbing your thighs together. Youā€™d better get in there, then.
You turned the corner into the doorway and found Spencer down to his tented boxer briefs sitting pretty on the edge of your bed.Ā 
You stood in front of him and shrugged your dress off your shoulders, revealing a skimpy bralette and sheer boyshorts.Ā 
He gasped softly at the sight of your near naked body and shifted on the bed as if to get closer to you. You smiled, walking to him and positioning yourself between his legs, looking down on him.Ā 
You took his face in your hand, squeezing slightly to make his lips pucker. You leaned down and did exactly what you had imagined earlier in the night, kissing him harshly, sucking and biting at his lips, drawing small moans from him.
You ran your fingers up and down his chest, scratching his pale skin and tweaking his nipples every now and then as you continued to kiss him roughly, and Spencer whimpered, wiggling around where he was sitting.Ā 
The wetness in your panties had soaked through the fabric and Spencerā€™s boxers were so tight it just had to have hurt.Ā 
You broke the kiss, taking a moment to savor the wrecked look on Spencerā€™s face. His lips were red and swollen, covered in saliva, and there were red marks from where you had gripped his face.Ā 
ā€œWhat do you know about pleasuring women, Dr. Reid?ā€ you asked teasingly, continuing your ministrations on his chest.
ā€œI may be a virgin, but Iā€™m not stupid,ā€ he said, out of breath. He picked up his hand and trailed it along your inner thighs, making you shiver. He ghosted across where you needed him most.
His eyes met yours, asking silent permission which you granted with a nod, breath heavy.
You gripped his shoulders hard and threw your head back when he moved your panties aside and slipped his fingers through your soaked folds. He found your clit immediately (goddamn genius) and rubbed it in soft, slow circles. It felt amazing, but it was nowhere near enough.
When he glanced up at you with the subbiest look on his face, you took his face in your hand yet again and breathed, ā€œNot enough, baby.ā€
Spencerā€™s face flashed with a look of determination and he increased the pressure on your clit before slipping a finger in your heat. You let out a loud moan and let your eyes flutter shut, running your fingers through his hair in praise.
ā€œFuck, baby, youā€™re doing so good for me,ā€ you groaned, which only served to spur him on. He quickly added two more fingers and pumped in and out of you so deliberately, rubbing up against that electric spot inside you every time.
You definitely hadnā€™t been expecting to cum more than once if at all tonight, but here you were, stood in front of your crush sitting on your bed while he brought you dangerously close to the edge with his fingers.
He continued slipping in and out of you and rubbing circles into your clit, the feeling of his warm fingers making you near delirious. The real turn-on, though, was the way he looked up at you, practically begging for praise.Ā 
ā€œOh, fuck, Spence, youā€™re doing so good for me, so fucking good,ā€ you choked out as you felt your breath hitch and legs tense, your orgasm so, so near.
ā€œIā€™m close,ā€ you whispered, unsure of whether Spencer even heard it. You were assured he did, though, when he dipped his head down to your cunt and licked a long, hard, stripe up and down before latching onto your clit and sucking. You let out a long, loud moan.
That was all it took. You came hard on Spencerā€™s hand, mewls and whines filling the room, walls clamping tightly around his fingers and he nursed it beautifully for you, kitten licking your clit and softly rubbing inside you until you had to pull his hand and face off because your legs were shaking too hard.
You took one look at him, face covered in your juices, lips swollen from the kissing and sucking, hair absolutely mussed from your hands, and it was it took to leave you wanting more. You placed your hand flat on his chest, leading him farther back on the bed. He sat against the pillows and headboard and you placed your soaked core directly on his hard bulge, pulling a whimper from him and a low moan from you.
You leaned in, hungrily kissing him, tasting yourself on his lips and tongue and rocking your hips back and forth slowly, building a fire in you. At this point, Spencer was a mess, practically begging for you to touch him. He bucked his hips up into yours and whimpered with every movement. You moved your hand to the back of his neck and pulled his head back, exposing his throat.
ā€œIā€™m gonna give you a hickey, alright, baby? That way everyone will know youā€™re taken,ā€ you growled into his ear, nipping his earlobe in between words.
Spencer exhaled sharply and nodded, not speaking. You gave his earlobe a sharp pull with your teeth, and he jumped slightly.
ā€œPlease, Y/N, just own me,ā€ he gasped.
You were sure that you had died and gone to heaven. There was no way your crush was sitting under you right now being a perfect little sub and begging for you to wreck him.
You latched onto his pulse point with renewed vigor, sucking and biting his soft, pale skin. Spencer writhed underneath you, moaning out little expletives you almost couldnā€™t understand.
You continued until you were met with an angry bruise blooming on his beautiful neck, satisfied with your work.
ā€œThere we go,ā€ you teased, scooting back on the bed until your face aligned with Spencerā€™s bulge. You let your breath ghost over his clothed dick and licked at the wet spot on his boxers. Spencer whined, an honest to god high pitched whine, and it was so hot you had no choice but to wrap your mouth around the head of his cock through his boxers.
He was obviously trying to hold back, grasping at the sheets with his hands and biting his lips to stop from moaning. You pulled back.
ā€œAre you going to be good for me and let me hear you, baby? Or am I going to have to leave you high and dry?ā€ you teased, cocking your eyebrow at him.
Spencer exhaled. ā€œFuck, please, Iā€™ll be good, I promise.ā€
If you hadnā€™t been soaked before, his words just then wouldā€™ve done the job.
You lowered your head again, pulling back the waistband of Spencerā€™s boxers to reveal his cock, hard, pink, leaking precum, and deliciously big.
ā€œOh, baby, itā€™s a crime to keep this pretty dick from the world,ā€ you grinned, licking a slow stripe up the underside.
Spencer kept true to his promise and was not holding a single noise back, his head thrown back against the headboard. The room was filled with the curses and moans pouring out of his mouth.
You wrapped your lips around the head of his cock, swirling your tongue around to collect the precum. His hips bucked into your mouth and you smiled around him, going lower and lower until he hit the back of your throat.
You hollowed your cheeks and slid up and down a few times, leaving him practically yelling. You pulled off with a pop and brought yourself back up to his face, never letting go of his dick.
ā€œAs much as Iā€™d like for you to fuck my face and cum down my throat, weā€™ve got that little viginity issue of yours to solve.ā€
Spencer looked at you, wide-eyed and gasping and nodded as you gave him a few pumps and positioned yourself over him.
ā€œIā€™m clean,ā€ he croaked, face red. ā€œObviously.ā€
You smiled and leaned in, kissing him softly.
ā€œMe, too. And Iā€™m on the pill. Spencer, are you sure? Because we can stop right now,ā€ you said softly, reassuring him.
Spencer shook his head, ā€œThereā€™s no one Iā€™d rather do this with.ā€
You smiled, assuming your role once again, ā€œIā€™m glad to hear it, baby boy. Are you ready for this pussy to change your life?ā€ you said, joking to ease the mood.
Spencer smiled, almost laughing, but then you ran his tip through your folds and his face fell into one of pure bliss. You rubbed your clit against him, covering him in your slick and moaning loudly.
ā€œFuck, baby, youā€™re gonna feel so good inside me,ā€ you groaned, head thrown back in pleasure.
Spencer squirmed, clearly impatient to feel himself inside you. You chuckled, cutting your grinding against him short to indulge him
You pressed your lips against his in a wildly passionate kiss as you lowered yourself onto him, feeling him stretch you out.
Spencerā€™s mouth fell open against yours and his strangled moans only encouraged you. Feeling warmed up enough, you dropped the rest of the way onto him, feeling the pleasant burn and crying out.
The feeling was insane. You were so full and satisfied you felt yourself uncharacteristically close again already. You ground your clit in Spencerā€™s hip bone and mewled loudly.Ā 
ā€œFuck, Y/N, please move,ā€ Spencer begged, writhing under you.
ā€œYou donā€™t tell me what to do, Spence,ā€ you said, halting your movements altogether. He whined and stopped moving, too.
ā€œIā€™m sorry, Y/N,ā€ he whimpered.
Satisfied with his apology, you brought yourself up slowly, only stopped when he nearly slipped out of you, before dropping quickly, hitting the deepest spot inside you. You repeated the motions again, quicker this time and Spencerā€™s hands shot out to grip your hips. You decided to allow it purely because of the crazy blissed out look Spencer had on his face.
He looked gorgeous. His hair was fucked and stuck to his forehead with sweat. His head was thrown back in complete pleasure, noises pouring out of his swollen lips continuously and the hickey on his neck stood out prominently.Ā 
When you dropped down on him again, he hit a spot inside of you you didnā€™t even know existed, and you fell forward onto his chest on your elbows, the coil inside you tightening hotly. You straightened up with new determination, practically fucking him into the bed.
Spencer moved his hands up to your tits, pulling one of them into his mouth. His tongue circled your nipple, sucking softly and you grabbed his hair hard, causing him to moan against you. You lowered your hand to where the two of you met, swirling your thumb around your combined juices.
You pulled him off of you and offered him your soaked thumb, which he graciously took into his mouth and began sucking earnestly. You moaned as loud as you ever had. Just seeing him being so good brought you close to the edge again.
ā€œIā€™m so close,ā€ Spencer said through your hand.
ā€œMe, too. Help me out, baby,ā€ you whispered sweetly, grabbing his hand and guiding it to your clit. He pushed his thumb harshly against it and rubbed and you yelled loudly.
You slammed back down on him and came harder than you ever had, gasping for air and your vision whiting out. a vice-like clamp on Spencerā€™s dick guiding him over the edge, too. You felt his seed fill you, a warmth spreading inside you. You desperately joined Spencer at your clit, rubbing circles to prolong your orgasm for as long as possible.Ā 
Finally, you let yourself go limp on top of him, tracing little patterns into his sweaty skin.
ā€œI hope that was okay for your first time,ā€ you whispered against him, pressing soft kisses into his torso.
ā€œAre you kidding? I think thatā€™s the best sex anyone has ever had their first time,ā€ Spencer said, still catching his breath.
ā€œAre you good?ā€ you asked, turning to face him. ā€œWas that too much?ā€
Spencer smiled, blushing. ā€œNo way. It was perfect.ā€
-
The next day at work, you walked in five minutes before Spencer so no one was the wiser.
Spencer walked into the conference room last, so everyone noticed the scarf he was wearing in the warm August weather.
Derek snatched it off of him almost as soon as he sat down and wolf-whistled at his hickey.
ā€œLooks like Pretty Ricky finally got some,ā€ he laughed, everyone joining in in playfully congratulating Spencer. His face reddened and his eyes met yours.
You winked.

Aftershow - Leon Kennedy x f!reader
with the help of some tricks and your best friend distracting the security guard, you manage to sneak into the after show of the world premiere of ā€œResident Evil - Infinite Darknessā€. It tells the story of federal Agent Leon S. Kennedy, who, after retiring from his career as a federal agent, decided to tackle acting. Ever since you first saw him in ā€œResident Evil 2ā€, you were in love with him and couldnā€™t wait to meet him. So...what would happen at this afterparty?
hey lads iā€™m back! i hope you enjoy this piece i have been writing the past few days! hope you are doing well xoxo
Warnings: alcohol, smut, Leon being an ass to others sometimes
Your dress clung to your body, making you feel like some overstuffed sausage. It was physically and mentally out of your comfort zone, but your best friend insisted you looked like a million bucks in it, so you begrudgingly purchased it a week before. ā€œBut you look fantastic,ā€ your best friend reassuredĀ  you when you stood before your mirror earlier that night, awkwardly, tugging at the fabric by your hipsMaybe she was right, but currently she was busy with the security guard to give you the chance to meet your idol and celebrity crush, Leon S. Kennedy. You had heard heā€™d attend the premiere, and posts on social media confirmed the rumours.Not that youā€™d ever admit to subscribing to notifications from him, though.
The place was filled with Hollywood executives, actors, and actresses from all over the planet, yet you hadnā€™t spotted your favourite so far. Maybe he was outside smoking? Busy spending time with fans and writing autographs? Who knewā€¦ So you made your way past some gossiping actress towards the bar. A simple Sex on the Beach would calm your nerves. You began to zone out as you sipped on the cocktail- that is, until you felt a hand on your shoulder.
ā€œAnd I thought I had met everyone tonight.ā€
That voice. That fucking voice. Youā€™d recognize it out of a million, and there he was.
On the barstool next to you sat Leon S. Kennedy, and he was touching you at this very moment.
Before you would answer, you chuckled and took a sip from the cocktail, buying your nerves some more time before youā€™d answer. ā€œGuess not.ā€, you said and placed the glass on the bar in front of you. ā€œIā€™m (Y/N), nice to meet you.ā€
ā€œIā€™m Leon, but Iā€™m sure you already knew that, nice to meet you too. (Y/N), what a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Say, how is it possible that I havenā€™t spotted you before?ā€
Uh oh. Quick, think of something.
ā€œSorry, bad traffic,ā€ you replied, directly quoting a line from his costar in Resident Evil 4. ā€œBut Iā€™m here now, and just in time to celebrate you and your new show!ā€, you smiled and raised your glass, Leon clicking it together with his own beer glass. ā€œCheers.ā€ You two took big sips from your beverages, Leonā€™s hand now gravitating towards your knee.
ā€œSay, would you like to join me on the terrace? Itā€™s getting so hot in here.ā€, Leon said and pointed towards an open door on the other side of the room. The mere thought of being able to spend more time with him made you agree with his idea, and a minute later you two were sitting on the terrace in a porch swing. Leon had bought you another drink. He was such a gentleman, just like youā€™d always imagined him.. From time to time, people came to congratulate Leon on the success of his new show, wanting to invite him for a drink or more rounds. Yet every time he declined it, saying he already had enough for the evening.
*
ā€œYou werenā€™t invited, were you?ā€, Leon asked after some conversation between you two. You had told him a bit about your life, your work, your pets. In return, Leon shared stories of the making of Infinite Darkness, funny bloopers and behind-the-scenes stories you otherwise would never hear. The party had died out by now, it being late and the night becoming colder. Telling him a lie wasnā€™t an option, so you sighed and nodded. ā€œThought so. You carry yourself differently.ā€, Leon said while he lit himself a cigarette, blowing the smoke into the night sky.
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€, confusion was written across your face. Carrying yourself differently?
ā€œHollywood wankers carry themselves with a confidence that could kill a mortal like us. They think they are invincible, but oh boy they are wrong. You donā€™t carry that energy about you. You donā€™t look the type.. How did you get in?ā€
ā€œMy best friend is buddies with the security guard and he owed her a favour.ā€
ā€œYou little minx.ā€, Leon laughed, taking another drag as his eyes rested on you, taking in your body in this dress you hated, yet in his eyes you were the most beautiful woman in the sea of botox and silicone tits. ā€œIf you promise not to spill the whole night on social media, I can show you a whole new world.ā€, and by the look in his eyes, you both knew the feeling was mutual
*
The penthouse Leon was renting for his stay in your city was more than just breathtaking. Standing by the front window, you could see the whole city, way beyond the city limits. In the bathroom was, next to a big bathtub, a jacuzzi, and an iced down champagne bucket right next to it. ā€œIn Hollywood, money has no meaning. You ever seen Wolf of Wall Street? They werenā€™t fuckinā€™ lying when they called money ā€˜fun couponsā€™ā€, he laughed when you first entered the penthouse and your eyes had nearly rolled out. The bedroom alone was bigger than your whole flat, the champagne in that goddamn bucket probably worth more than your rent
ā€œIf your eyes get any bigger theyā€™ll fall out of your head!ā€, Leon laughed as he sat down on the huge sofa, the fireplace warming up the room to a comfortable degree. Yet the dress felt too tight, just ready to be taken off...or was that the alcohol speaking? Leon for the cigar box lying atop the coffee table. He offered you one, but you declined - you didnā€™t smoke, but the mere view of Leon with a big cigar between his lips, legs spread and dress shirt slightly unbuttoned...it went straight to your core, a view millions of women would kill for, presented in front of you. ā€œLike what you see, little minx?ā€
ā€œWould it be bad if I didnā€™t.ā€, you replied, trying to hide your nerves by being cocky. But Leon wasnā€™t having any of this. He could see through your mask, trying and failing to hide how badly you wanted to straddle his lap and kiss him senseless, seeing stars and whole new universes. Comes with being an ex cop and agent. No secrets could make it past his eyes.
ā€œCome hereā€, were Leonā€™s simple words, yet they had an effect on you and your body, something you'd normally be ashamed to admit. You made your way over to Leon on the sofa and instead of sitting next to him, he patted on his lap. ā€œI want you to be comfortable, and I bet you are the most comfortable on my lap. Cā€™mon, itā€™s the best seat in the house.ā€, he smirked and...you couldnā€™t deny it. His thighs were comfortably big, years of hard training paying off in the form of muscle and rough skin under his suit pants.
You werenā€™t sure why your head felt like it was spinning - was it the alcohol or the intoxicating smell from Leon? A mixture of his unique scent: whiskey and his cologne, all in a cloud around your nose. You wished you would be able to smell him for the rest of your life. All you knew was that your body screamed for Leon, and his body screamed right back. ā€œHere.ā€, Leon offered you the glass of scotch he had just poured for himself. ā€œThere are three types of liquor. Terrible, not so terrible, or do you want to impress people with your money?ā€, and with those words, he pressed his lips against yours.
*
ā€œWe shouldnā€™t be doing this.ā€
ā€œAnd yet, here we are.ā€
*
Leon had picked you up after another glass or three of scotch, the way to his bedroom clear. You werenā€™t sure if it was the warmth from the scotch swelling in your chest or the way his muscular arms wrapped around you, but something in you was one wrong- or right- move away from melting away completely. Your legs were wrapped around his hips as well as possible. The slit on your dress helped you, but suddenly Leon stopped in his tracks. ā€œAre you okay?ā€, you asked, placing a hand on his cheek, but he looked over the bedroom you two just enteredā€¦ Suddenly he placed you back down on the floor, kicking the door shut and pushing you against it.
ā€œI donā€™t think Iā€™m gonna make it to the bed.ā€, he smirked , his soft hands moving down your sides, leaving goosebumps wherever they touched you. Your dress felt too tight, the room too hot - you needed to get out of it quickly! Leon watched your blush grow, this asshole smirk still on his lips. ā€œI love how real you are.ā€, he muttered as he leaned in, brushing his lips over your pulse point, just enough to draw a soft gasp from your lips.
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€, you asked, puzzled. Leon just chuckled, ā€œHavenā€™t you noticed? Itā€™s all Photoshopped. All the women at the premiere had the same fucking ass. Same crooked lips from the same quack doctor. The same busted Botox faces, everywhere you go. Yet they think theyā€™re hot shit.ā€, he whispered, hot air against your even hotter skin. ā€œBut you...look at you.ā€
And you did. You looked down on yourself and saw nothing but imperfections. You looked back to Leon with a frown but he just laughed, ā€œHollywood is suffocating as fuck, but youā€™re like a breath of fresh air.. Look at you! You even have stretch marks! I havenā€™t seen real stretch marks since I put my first step into a studio!ā€, Leon took a deep breath, his voice shaking as he said his next sentence, ā€œAnd I want you so fucking badly.ā€
*
Only minutes later, Leon had marked you up, hickeys and little bites of pleasure and need covering your upper body, whatever part he could reach. The dress was long gone and you laid on the bed, watching Leon unbuttoning his dress shirt. Underneath the white fabric was a body riddled with scars and old, badly healed wounds. Each and every single one could tell a story you were ready to hear, but right now, all you wanted was Leon and only Leon. And he needed you too.
ā€œArenā€™t you fucking gorgeous?ā€, Leon asked as his hands reached behind you, undoing your bra with a simple movement. This man had disarmed bombs before, of course a bra wouldnā€™t cause him much trouble. ā€œLook at youā€¦ā€, he repeated once more once your bra was thrown across the room, landing on some random piece of furniture. You blushed under his hungry eyes, him taking in what would be his in mere minutes. ā€œSpread your legs. I wanna taste you.ā€
*
You had an iron grip on Leonā€™s hair, bucking your hips to meet his touch. More, more, more! You needed more! While Leonā€™s tongue teased your entrance, he used his hand to hold you down, keeping you in place like the good girl that you had been. Well, had been until his tongue first licked up your folds, taking in the sweetness of your juices. Leon had consumed many different liquors in his life, but only your sweet juices could rival ambrosia, sending his drunken mind into another plane of existence.
ā€œLeon!ā€, you moaned out the moment his calloused finger brushed over your clit. It had been begging for attention, but Leon - that dick - kept on lapping up your juices, sucking and nibbling carefully on your folds. The movements of his fingers were in a steady rhythm with the ones of his tongue, making your head spin once more. He knew how to play you like a fiddle, making you putty in his hands.
But before you could cum, Leon pulled away, his face covered in your sweet fluids and he licked over his lips with an obscene sound and a dirty smirk on his lips. ā€œI canā€™t wait to fuck you ā€˜til you scream my name.ā€
*
The condom was put on quickly. Magnum, of course. What else would a guy like him need? The first stroke inside of you made you see stars for the third time in less than an hour, what an impact this man had on you. Leon was still inside of you, not moving until you were adjusted to his size, especially his girth. ā€œYou okay?ā€, he asked, to which you gave him a soft nod. ā€œYeah, Iā€™ll be alright. Itā€™s justā€¦ fuck, youā€™re big..ā€
Leonā€™s ego beamed at your words, and once you gave him the okay to continue, it was very hard for him to hold back in any way. You were too tight, too sweet, making him nearly burst on the spot. Instead, his mind wandered...but you were always part of those thoughts.
The wet noises of sex, lust, and unadulterated passion filled the room, along with soft panting and groans coming from you two, a noise as old as humankind. Your arms were tightly wrapped around Leonā€™s body, leaving behind tiny marks when you needed to hold onto him, your nails digging into his skin. Leon hissed at the stings but fuck, knowing you were marking him up too made him even harder, harder than he had ever been.
ā€œFuck, you feel so good.ā€, Leon moaned against your neck and buried his head there for a moment. All you could do was nod in agreement, not trusting your voice anymore. Leon reached down at this, pressing his palm between you two, against your clit. You needed this feeling, you were begging for your release.
*
ā€œCome on, cum for me.ā€, Leon growled when he felt the first contractions around his cock. The needy undertone of his voice was the last thing you needed to push yourself over the edge. ā€œLeon!ā€, you moaned and came around him, stilling in your movements. Leon rocked his hips a few more times before his own release overcame him, spilling into the condom as you milked him inside of you. It felt too good to be true, but Leon was real.
Once your high started to fade and the contractions lessened, Leon leaned in for a quick kiss, stealing it from your open lips as you tried to catch your breath again. You smiled up to him, loosening your grip around him. ā€œThat was great.ā€, you smiled and Leon dropped next to you after pulling out.
*
In the early morning hours, you woke up to an empty bed. Leonā€™s side was cold and you sat up, looking around in confusion. Where was he? He wouldnā€™t leave you alone, would he? Finally, you spotted him on the balcony and you quickly threw on one of the jackets laying around along with your panties.
ā€œGood morning.ā€, you smiled at Leon, who was taking a drag from his cigarette. He greeted you while blowing the hot smoke out, then held up his arm, offering you a place next to him. You happily agreed, leaning against his warm body in the fresh morning hours.
ā€œIā€™d love to see you again.ā€, Leon said after he exhaled another drag, looking down at you. This took you by surprise - why would he? You werenā€™t special at all, just a mere fan who managed to get into his penthouse suite with a lot of luck and cleavage. He grabbed his phone from the table next to him, offering you the open contact list, ā€œIā€™d love to take you out on a few dates and such. Spend time with you. What do you think? Wanna give me your number?ā€

The sound of your phone buzzing on the side table with a loud, irritating noise jolts you awake. You roll around on the bed, your fingers reaching to turn the vibrating device off. Groaning, you sit up straight. The warm mattress under you threatens to lull you back to sleep but you shove the thought away instead choosing to stretch your arms over your head and yawn endlessly. You were tired, so goddamnĀ tired. Rubbing your temples lazily you start thinking about the dreadful day you have ahead of yourself. You think about your boss: Hawks, the man who makes you hate your life and job. He has trapped you into a never-ending nightmare which starts the second you open your eyes till the moment you fall asleep and even then he still manages to haunt you in your dreams.Ā 
Cleaning up after his messes, obeying his ever so pliantly. He has turned you into his little pet slave. He says that itā€™s your job as you are his assistant, his little helper there to make his job a little less hectic. You must listen to his needs and wants and to some degree, you do agree with him: it is your job, itā€™s what you signed up for after all but you can also sense him misusing his title when he is with you. He never listens to your suggestions which results in him calling you late after work hours to help with his problems knowing damn well you had already warned him beforehand. And, ohĀ his flirty, suggestive comments which borderline sexual harassment.Ā Hawks is a difficult man to work with and you often find yourself wondering how much calmer your life would be if you never worked for him but you do not have that luxury of leaving the job. It pays ridiculously well and you have bills to pay, your family to support. No, you cannot affordĀ to lose this job. So you sit through his torment and hope for the best.
Seconds later after you have gathered your will to live you start scrolling through your phone, skimming through the morning news lazily. Your eyebrows furrow and eyes turn into angry slits as you glance upon a displeasing, astonishing article.
Ā ā€˜No. 2 Hero Hawks spotted partying with strippersā€“ā€™
Your heart stops for a moment.
What the fuck was this?Ā 
You hesitantly read through the article, your heartbeat increasing every second that your eyes focus on the led screen, reading the details of the damned article. Eyes widening as panic settles in your nerves, you realize the gravity of the situation you had found yourself under as Hawksā€™ manager. Hawks had been spotted partying with strippers in a nightclub with a bunch of celebrities. The crazy stalker who had managed to follow him succeeded in capturing exclusive pictures of Hawks dressed in an expensive suit, his hair styled to perfection dancing under the dim lights of the club with women in basically their underwearĀ shamelessly grinding upon him. YouĀ honestlyĀ couldnā€™t have given a single fuck about what Hawks did in his free time but since he had managed to get a paparazzi to tail him and now that his career was at risk; itĀ becameĀ your problem.Ā Your first and foremost instinct was to call Hawks and ask him what the hell he was thinking. Not being careful enough, he had managed to taint his entire reputation. The people of Japan now probably viewed him as a reckless party animal rather than the No. 2 Hero!Ā 
Before you could call him, your phoneā€™s screen lights up illuminating a contact you dread. ā€˜Hero Commissionā€™Ā itā€™s written in bold letters, your face drops. Your fingers shake, filled with anxiety as you accept the call. Inhaling and exhaling, you try to calm your nerves. If it is a call from the Commission, you know itā€™s bad. Bad.Ā 
You pick up the phone and instantly regret it, ā€œWhat were you doing?ā€ an angry, masculine voice snarls through the screen. You open your mouth to answer but are not given a chance too. ā€œHow did you let him go to a strip club during patrol hours?ā€ you bite your lip thinking of an acceptable excuse, ā€œHe had to go there for work! Itā€™s a misunderstanding. He went down to the strip club undercover to meet up with a crook to get some intelā€“ thatā€™s what he told me. This is a misunderstanding, Iā€“ā€ your explanation was cut short as the person on the other end of the call deemed it enough. ā€œWhatever it is, fix it and never let this happen again.ā€ he sneers a warning before cutting the call. It wasnā€™t a complete lie, Hawks did tell you that he was investigating a case on his own and that he would be gaining information from shady people but you did not expect him to go to a strip club out of all places. The worst part: he never even told you in detail anything about this case neitherĀ did he notice the paparazzi tailing his back. You sigh in frustration, rubbing your forehead, you quickly ring up his number only for it be sent right to voicemail. You almost scream. Where the fuck was this bastard?
Managing Hawks was not a walk in the park. The hero commission had sent you down especially to be Hawksā€™ secretary. You had a reputation: you were known to be responsible, diligent, and punctual. You were one of their best, entrusted with the responsibility to manage Hawks and you did a good job but it was Hawks who just made the job so hard.Ā 
Creating problems he could never solve by himself; on lucky days you would get a call from him at three in the morning, him begging you to come to help him. You want to say no, deny him any help. Let him suffer by himself but you cannot do that. If he screws up and you are not there to fix it. You lose your job, you canā€™t afford that. You give your 100%, you do but itā€™s Hawks. He has a problem with you, well, he has a problem with everyone in the commission but projects it mainly at you. He does not respect you.Ā 
He chooses to ignore your decisions and suggestions, diminishing them with a cruel chuckle, ā€œLook, I need you but just not now.ā€ He would say with an apologetic smile, ā€œjust let me work at my own pace, I will call when I will need you. After all, I love seeing your cute face.ā€ You would always have to force yourself from not slapping his smug face before he took off into the bright, blue sky.
The truth untold, it wasnā€™t his fault completely either. He was just so fast. It was hard for anyone to keep up with him and since he did his job right; bringing peace to the nation you could not deem him worthless. But it still was a bother at times like this when you were left completely in the dark while Hawks ruined his hard-earned reputation.Ā 
You got into the building earlier that morning to wait for Hawks in his office, you needed to talk to him. This was not his first mishap. Not long ago, another article about him shamelessly flirting with a fan had been published. It had said the fan was visibly uncomfortable with him but Hawks didnā€™t seem to care, he kept presting. You had managed to cover it up as the two being close friends who were publicly joking around, there was no real harm done. It was a lie though, you had to pay the fan a large check to keep her mouth shut. She accepted the money and the story was lost and forgotten but you had no idea how you were going to cover this hell up.
The clock struck nine as the day began, people rushing into the building all tensed but there was no sign of Hawks. You tried calling him on his number but the call directed to voicemail yet again. You were growing impatient, did something happen to him? Sure Hawks fucked things over sometimes but he never disappeared like this. It got you genuinely worried. Something horrible could have happened to him. After all, he was on a case.Ā 
You waited for another thirty minutes and there was yet no sign of him. His sidekicks came knocking on his office door only to be surprised to see you there instead of their boss. You told them to continue with their day and not worry about Hawks, he was just awfully late. Not a big deal, he will be here soon. Soon.Ā 
Another hour passed by, no sign of Hawks and about now your phone was blowing up with angry calls from his sponsors and business partners, screaming at the top of their lungs frowning upon the scandal. Heck, even Endeavor called you after he couldnā€™t reach Hawks himself. The call made you nervous as anxiety crept in yet again. Hawks wasnā€™t answering to Endeavour something badĀ mustĀ have happened. Getting tired of the wait, you make up your mind to drop by his penthouse and to go see him for yourself. His silence was driving you crazy and worried at the same time, you just hoped he would be there well and safe. You could not imagine the ruckus that would create if something were to happen to him.Ā 
You walked out of his office after waiting for an hour. Rushing down to the basement you got into your car and before driving away to his house. Just before leaving, you decided to test your luck by calling him. Hoping, prayingĀ he would answer this time and luckily he didĀ .
ā€œHawks!ā€ you cried, a wave of relief washing over you, ā€œWhere are you? What are you doing?ā€ you began pestering him with questions, not letting him answer even once. Hawks, tired of waiting,Ā  interrupted your monologue of questions with a chuckle. ā€œAw, youā€™re worried about me, baby?ā€ his tone was low and mischievous, the sentence slurring almost into a moan at the last word. You rolled your eyes and clenched your fists in irritation, you werenā€™t new to his teasing. Hawks thought it was appropriate for him to casually flirt with his secretary. Send unasked comments about your figure, perverted implications about what he would do to a ā€˜cute little thing like youā€™ which made you very uncomfortableĀ being around him at times. But it wasnā€™t that what made him get on your last nerves. It was the fact that he could even think about joking at a time like this which made you furious.Ā 
You screamed into the phone, giving him a piece of your mind. Degrading him for not taking care of himself, complaining about how he had managed to put you in such a tight spot.Ā 
ā€œOnce again I am asking, where the fuck are you. Hawks?ā€ you ended your speech with spite in your words. Hawks sighed, ā€œI am in the office,ā€ he says your name with an edge in his voice, instantly shutting you down, ā€œWhere the hell are you?ā€ The smugness in his tone remains and you can tell he is smirking on the other side of the screen as if heā€™s won. You hang up abruptly before walking out of your car and into the building, hurriedly making your way towards Hawkā€™s office.Ā 
You slam the door open glaring upon hawks as he sits behind his table. Dirty boots resting pliantly on the shiny, polished wood. His wings out, stretched to their fullest, filling up the room standing on high alert. They have a deeper hue to them, they look darkerā€“ a darker red. How did that happen? You find yourself wondering. Is he on drugs?Ā His face is tilted upwards, facing the ceiling. Eyes screwed shut. They open as he hears you enter and walk towards him, his wings falling back behind him calm and collected.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re late,ā€ he says with a smirk, you bang your fist on the table beside where his feet rest, making him flinch and bring them down instinctively. His eyes widened in shock, he was not expecting you to be this furious. Sure, he knew he knew he had gotten you mad but he was not expecting you to be this angry. Without any hesitation, you start scolding him again. He watches you ramble in ominous glee. A poker face masking his expression, he watches you trot about how much trouble he is in. His job is to protect meek and weak citizens who cannot fight for themselves, what he was doing in a strip in the name of business is something you cannot grasp your head around. You repeat your lecture which you had already tortured him over the phone while the entire time Hawks drums his fingers underneath the table, waiting for you to get over with your dumb speech. His eyes trail on your lips, watching it move. Plump, pillow-like features tinted dark red ramble on about how much of an irresponsible person he was. Complaining about how much trouble he puts you through daily. Honestly, he doesnā€™t quite catch what you were saying. His mind busy imaging you shutting the fuck and letting him get through the dayā€“ or better yet how pathetic you would look underneath him while he shoves his dick down your throat. The thought makes his cock throb. His eyes change from an unbothered, bored look to something sinister as they start trailing all over your body. His eyebrows slightly furrow as he catches up on the few degrading terms you throw at him.Ā 
You talked too much. Way too much, do you realize how much better you would look if you keep your pretty, little mouth shut? The entire time, itā€™s always: Hawks donā€™t do this, Hawks donā€™t do that. Donā€™t you ever get tired? He wonders whether your dumb little brain had any thoughts other than the ones which tell you to irritate him all the time. You should shut up, really stop talking. He might do something bad, heā€™s already stressed enough as it is being in his rut and having no way to relieve himself, he is going through a rough time here. The other night he escaped to a strip club in hopes of relieving some stress and it had worked but it had also brought along a mind splitting scandal.
The entire morning, Hawks was busy avoiding people. Whether it be his fans, reporters, or even someone he knew; he paid no mind to them trying to get to the office as soon as possible to deal with the mess he had created.
It wasnā€™t his fault entirely, he was in his rut and needed sexual relief which he was finding very hard to receive. With his work piling up and you breathing down his neck, he couldnā€™t even take represents as they slowed him down. He couldnā€™t risk falling asleep on duty. A stupid, little headline about what he does in his free time was much more favorable than a failed mission in which he would let countless innocent lives slip by his fingers.Ā 
He watches you ramble, his eyes trailing over your body locking on your tits. He stares at them intensely, watching them bounce slowly every time you huff out of irritation and frustration. Your work shirt works him favors, the white almost translucent material shows off the slightest shadow of your black, lacy bra. Itā€™s enough to get him going- imaging how your soft mounds would feel in his hands. How you would whimper under his touch as he tugs and pulls on your perky nipples, you probably wouldnā€™t sound as monstrous as you do right now. Your moans would be girlish, small whimpers would leave your lips as you would try your best to cover them up. You would try to hide your face under his assault but he wouldnā€™t let you, pinning you down instead and forcing himself on you while you cried for him to stop. Beg for his mercy.Ā 
He can feel his jeans tighten.Ā 
ā€œSo please, Hawks. Just be a little more responsible.ā€ you finish, your voice turning into a plea. He hums and apologizes for his impulsive thinking, like always, he is not sorry. ā€œLet's fix this mess, what do you say?ā€ he asks with an apologetic grin, trying to be polite. You on the other hand donā€™t even spare him a glance, walking right out the door instead. It leaves him veryĀ offended.Ā 
ā—Œ
ā€œAh! What a troublesome day it was,ā€ Hawks chimes in walking into his office with you closely following behind, ā€œIt was all your fault.ā€ you spit making hawks chuckle, ā€œWhatever happens, happens for the good.ā€ he says, a scoff leaves your lips, ā€œWhat was good about that?ā€ you ask annoyed. ā€œI get to have you alone with me now~ā€ Hawks winks at you making you roll your eyes dramatically. Both of you stand together in Hawksā€™ office after hours. The day is done, everyone in the agency building has taken their leave excluding the two of you. It had been a long day fixing up after Hawks. You were tired and all you wanted was a warm bath and some sleep.Ā 
ā€œDo you want to know why it happened?ā€ Hawks asks out of the blue, ā€œWhat happened?ā€ you question, ā€œWhy was I at the strip club?ā€ you sigh, ā€œI donā€™t give two shits about your personal life, Hawks.ā€ replying sternly. A look of disappointment arises on his face, ā€œItā€™s actually more than that, really, I u-uh have this condition- it gets very hard to work during these times-ā€
Ā ā€œWhat are you even talking about?ā€ You interject confused and clueless. You turn to him, a glare evident on your face you stare at him sheepishly. What was he on about now?
ā€œI am serious, I went into my rut, and that's why I went to the strip club-ā€ ā€œInto a what?ā€ Hawksā€™ eyes widened, were you reallyĀ that clueless? ā€œA rut, [y/n],ā€ he says like it is a matter of fact, something everybody is aware of. ā€œA rut. You know like how some animals go into heat and they-ā€ your face scrunches as he explains his rut to you, you visibly grow more and more repulsed. Hawks studies you face, his heart genuinely breaking at your expressions. ā€œWhy are you telling me this?ā€ you screech, ā€œjeez Hawks, I did not need to know any of that!ā€ you continue.Ā 
Hawks is hurt, he accepted a reaction which showed more concern. Maybe he went a bit too far imagining that you would offer him help but seeing you so disgusted by him shattered his heart and made him lose all his respect for you. You were a terrible human being, no different from those villains he put behind the bars every day. ā€œI am telling you all of this because- this actually happens!Ā  Many- fuck- millions of people like me actually suffer from this shit! You should be a little more emphatic.ā€ he reasons. He accepts you to understand at least now but you gloriously manage to disappoint him yet again. A rude snarl leaves your lips followed by a scoff, ā€œWhat are you really trying to tell me Hawks? That you donā€™t want to do your job and to justify your laziness; you are making lame excuses now?ā€ you shove a finger to his chest, it pushes him off the edge.Ā 
Something in his snaps, he looks down where your fingertip touches his chest. You are smaller than him, heā€™s at least a foot bigger than you. Where does your bratty, puny self get all this confidence from? His eyes darken as something sinister floats within him. He stares down at your finger, wanting to rip it off. He wants to see you cry. He wants to see you in pain and misery, suffering a great deal while nobody comes to help you.Ā 
ā€œHawks, you know what? I am so done with your bullshit. I am leaving.ā€ You turn away from him, heading to the door but before you could move a step. Hawks grabs you by writs, caging your delicate hand into a bone-crushing death grip, ā€œWhat the fuck?ā€ you question, ā€œHawks?ā€ you continue. You wait for his response, turning to him. He is facing the floor, his hair scanning over his eyes making it impossible for you to read his expression, not that you could read what was going on with him normally but now; itā€™s even harder. ā€œAre you going to let go?ā€ you ask again only to be met by him squeezing your wrists even tighter. You bring your other hand over him to pry yourself free from his clutches but he doesnā€™t want to let go.Ā 
ā€œHawks wha-ā€ you donā€™t get to complete your statement as Hawks pushes you down on the floor making you fall on your butt. You let out a loud hiss. You frown, yelling out ā€œWhat is wrong with you!?ā€ You try to stand back up but his hands settle on your shoulder pushing you back down. You try fighting but itā€™s to no use. Did you forget he is the no. 2 Pro- Hero? He is much stronger than you, he brings down villains twice his size daily. What makes you think your weak kicks and punches will be enough to beat him?Ā 
You keep struggling under him, screaming how you were going to report him and ruin his career, how he is going to be sorry for messing with you.
Ā ā€œShut. Up.ā€ he finally speaks, he brings his gloved hand to your perfectly styled hair. Pulling tightly on your roots he stretches your face upwards, making it easier for him to look down on you while you cry in agony, ā€œStop crying.'' His voice is deep and raspy, much different from how he usually talks. You look up at him, fear swimming in your eyes as tears prick at the corners of your sockets, lips trembling. If you already werenā€™t terrified enough, your horror becomes tenth fold when you see his boner raging in his pants, ā€œCome, on. Hawks..ā€ your voice is small and weak, it's a broken cry. You know what he is going to make you do. He was going to violate you, break you beyond repair.Ā 
This was so wrong. As much you hated Hawks, you never would have thought he would do something like this. Hawks was a hero. He is meant to fight for justice, punish evil. Why is he doing this? ā€œHawks no. Please. Was it something I said? I take it back I didnā€™t mean it-ā€Ā 
ā€œYou know, y/n, you are not so different from those villains yourself,ā€ if looks could kill, you would be dead. The pure, anger, and hatred he looks at you with bothers you. It makes you hate yourself, there is something sinister in his eyes which makes you sure about the fact that he is not afraid of hurting you. He has given up on you, after all, his polite gestures, generosity you always ignored- heā€™s fed up with your sheer ignorance and your ego. He hates you. He does and heck if he wasnā€™t in his rut; he would never bring his dick anywhere near you. He does not respect you as a human and in no way does he have any romantical attachment to you. All he ever saw was a walking alarm clock, bugging him every second, and now all he is going to see you as is his cocksleeve whom he can stuff his fat cock into whenever and however he seems fine. To him you are just a walking hole he can ruin whenever he wants to, you have managed to get on his bad side and he is going to show you his bad side.
He undoes his belt, his pants falling to his thighs displaying his expensive boxers and his growing hardness. His cock is throbbing within its confines, fighting desperately to come free. His free hand pulls his boxers down and his cock springs free, hitting his abdomen. It stands long and hard, the tip blushed red and angry, tiniest bit of pre-cum spilling sweetly from his slit. He pumps his cock in his hand before forcing it against your mouth, pressing it to your lips smearing his pre all over your lips. You whimper in protest, moving your head the littlest you can under his tight grip. ā€œBitch open up. You had this coming for a long time,ā€ his dick slaps your cheek while his fingers try to pry open your mouth. Pushing his gloved digits forcefully into your mouth, the rough fabric feels disgusting on your tongue. His fingers capture the lower part of your jaw, tearing your mouth apart with deranged strength. A loud cry escapes from you as he stuffs your empty mouth full of his cock, ā€œYeah, thatā€™s more like it. Fuck.ā€ he bottoms out into your throat, his shaft hitting the back of your throat making you gag, ā€œget on with it. A slut like you would have the experience, right?ā€ he taunts you. You do as he says, puckering your lips firmly around his length, your hands resting on his exposed thighs while you stroke him with your tongue. You feel his chiseled thigh muscles flex under your fingers as he melts in pleasure, tiny moans leaving his lips shamelessly.Ā 
As Hawks drowns in overwhelming pleasure, a criminal idea crosses your mind. Your eyes trail up to his face. His eyes are screwed close, he bites his lower lip softly. Carefully and slowly, you graze your teeth over his cock. Clamping down on it lightly, you hold your position. Your heart beats faster when Hawks stiffens and in a quick flash, he pushes you off his cock throwing you into the ground before backing up, squealing in pain.
Ā ā€œYOU LITTLE BITCH!ā€ he screams, you sprint to the door. Trembling fingers try to unlock the doorknob while Hawks cries in agony behind you. You can feel him loom behind you, ready to come for your neck. A part of you tells you that you will not make it but the adrenaline rushing in your veins calls to be hopeful. Just open the door and just run.Ā 
Your cold, quivering fingers almost unlock the heavy wooden door but before you can push it open. Hawks appears right behind you, pushing his body onto your back. You feel his cock poking at your ass, his hand grabs your head pulling you, prying you off the door. You scream and cry trying to break free, grabbing his hand clawing on it to let you free. Hawks chooses to show no mercy as he drags you by your hair to his desk, your scalp hurts from his grip. You can feel tiny strands breakaway. He turns you around and slams your back to his wooden desk, you whimper at the contact. He stands in front of you, pressing his knee between your thighs. His hand reaches out to pull at your collar, forcing you to look at him.Ā 
He is livid, eyebrows furrowed with a death glare his jaw clenched, and his eyes darker than you have ever seen before. He looks at you with murderous intent, you think he might as well kill you with his wings flared open. The feathers turning into knives, you beg for your life.Ā 
Hawks observes your face. Broken, scared for your life your eyes are glassy, ridden in fear your makeup smeared all over your face. He thinks it's beautiful, he has finally got you begging for mercy, finally thinking of him as the man he is. He appreciates your submission but it does not erase the fact that you just bite oh his dick. You beg for mercy, your voice is small and broken. It comes barely above a whisper, ā€œI am so sorry hawks, please donā€™t do this.ā€ He doesnā€™t listen, staring at you head-on with his jaw clenched. He brings his free hand to the air, keeping it steady for a second before bringing it down with a horrendous force. You feel it before it happens; white, hot flashing pain erupts through your cheek stinging you hard. You cry out in agony as your face drops to the other side. The strike was powerful, it left you sore, you can still feel it sting your face. It leaves you swollen, you try to bring your hand up to your face lightly to carcasses you paining cheek but Hawks pushes your face on the wooden desk before you could, trapping your arms behind your back holding it with one hand. ā€œYou donā€™t realize your position, do you? You know what? I was going- planning to be gentle with you. I thought I would at least make you cum but now,ā€ he pulls a feather out his wings preceding to tear open your pencil skirt with the sharp end. The ripped fabric falls to the ground leaving you in your panties and the pantyhose you always wear under your skirts, ā€œThere we go. I hope you are a pain slut, otherwise you would really not enjoy this.ā€ he says with a small chuckle before ripping you out of your bottoms, leaving you in your panties completely vulnerable to him. He abandons his gloves, rubbing his fingers on your clothed cunt roughly trying to gather slickness from your dry hole. Pleasure shoots down your body as his digits find your clit, rubbing tight circles on the little pearl, ā€œDoes this feel good? You are getting wet.ā€ a smirk scars his face, ā€œWho gets off to being raped?ā€ he says sharply. Your face scrunches up in disgust and embarrassment. A heavy lump forms in your throat and the waterworks that you had been holding off burst open. Big, fat tears roll down your cheeks as you cry for mercy. You didn't know why this was happening to you, for your entire life you had been a nice person: always helpful, sensitive, and kind. At least, that was what you thought yourself to be. Never in a million years could you- or anyone, in fact, could have ever thought that you would be crying pathetically while your boss: a person known to all as a Hero, the truest, most honest person to exist ever would be the one defiling you, tearing you down to nothing just for his pleasure.Ā 
ā€œShut up, you like this.ā€ He snarls at you, so sick of your loud wails he even shoves two fingers inside your mouth plunging them to the back of her throat, ā€œDonā€™t you dare bite now, slut.ā€ he warns. His fingers stop prodding at your clit when he notices the wet spot forming on your panties, he wastes no time shimming them down to your ankles, whistling when he sees your glistening pussy. You only wail louder pleading him not proceed any further. Hawks turns a blind eye to all your begging, ā€œI should just shove it in, right?ā€ he asks petting his finger over your hole, ā€œbut that wonā€™t be fun,ā€ he snickers. You feel his move away from your cunt and move higher. Panic settles, he couldn't be serious, ā€œHawks. Please no. Please donā€™t. I don-ā€ finger rims along your asshole, inching to dip in, ā€œWhat? Donā€™t want me to fuck your ass?ā€ he spanks your ass hard making you flinch, ā€œPlease Iā€™ve never-ā€ you cry out hoping he would understand, ā€œNo oneā€™s ever fucked you in the ass before?ā€ you whine at the lewd words which shamelessly fall from his lips, ā€œGuess thereā€™s a first for everything.ā€ he says with a scoff.Ā 
His digits bury into your hole, stretching you out in a way youā€™ve never felt before. The stretch burns, filling a fresh set of tears rolling down your eyes, smudging your mascara and eyeliner You looked like a whore. He keeps hammering his fingers inside you without mercy, a loud whine leaves your lips as you feel a tingle of pleasure from him hitting the right spot. ā€œDo you like that? Too bad, this isnā€™t for you.ā€ he moves his fingers from you before lining his fat cock to your almost too tiny hole, ā€œHow will this fit?ā€ he laughs to himself, pressing his engorged tip in slowly, ā€œWill be a tight fit,ā€ he continues to shove his cock into your hole, his face turns off one to ecstasy as your walls take him inch by inch. You scream in pain, his cock was much bigger than his fingers. It was stretching you out, numbing your mind and soul, you did not know how much more you could take. Salty tears fell from your eyes as Hawks bottomed himself in you, he waited for a moment before starting to thrust into you unforgivingly. Dragging his fat cock out and your walls pulling him right back in. As he kept ramming into you. Slowly, you start to pleasure tingle up your spine as his tip smashed against the right spots. Your cries of pain turn to pleasurable moans. Hawks wastes no time in teasing you, ā€œLook at you moaning like a slut,ā€ he spanks your ass with swift force sending your rear to sting. You feel unbearable pleasure starting to build up in your abdomen, a straining coil wanting to burst which each of Hawksā€™ strong thrusts yet it is left unfilled as the simulation is not enough to make you cum from all alone. Hawks notices this, the pitiful crying for him to touch your swollen little clit which was begging to be played with. He almost thought he would give it to you, after all, he was a good person. Almost.Ā 
Hawks just snicker, his cruel, sadistic laugh echoing in the room, ā€œNo, no, no.ā€ he teases, ā€œno matter how much you cry, baby. I am not letting you cum. This is your punishment, you deserve this. Youā€™ve been a bad girl.ā€ Hawks couldnā€™t formulate how he was able to form complete sentences. The moment he had caught you, he had let himself go feral. Dragging you down like a predator, he finally had you under him. He kept grunting and breathing profanity down your ear along with shameful praises about how well your slutty ass takes him. He is glad he is finally getting his much-deserved relief but he is not done yet. He wonā€™t be done until he is filling your vulnerable womb with his seed, he wonā€™t be done until he hears you asking him to give you his children. He is not going to leave you be until he has destroyed you, balls deep in your tiny pussy. He is going to keep you here all night fucking you, he is going to stay there all night fucking you with hate which he has buried within himself for you over the years. He is going to melt you in his hand, break you until only he can build you up, and maybe he will not let you go even after that. Maybe he will keep you after all hawks mate for life.Ā 
Just hope he lets you cum the next time.Ā

How would you react if someone close to you found out you enjoy Diabolik Lovers and then accused you of glorifying Laitoā€™s actions by drawing fan art of him? I donā€™t think it is shameful to enjoy fiction with themes of abuse as long as one can differentiate between fiction and reality and right and wrong, but I was just wondering if you think it is worth ending a whole friendship because of this dispute. My friends think I am someone who supports sexual assault through this series and it hurts.
Coming back from the dead to answer this question
Oh goodness, first of all, Iā€™m very sorry anon. Iā€™ve been in that exact situation with a friend when I first got into DL six years ago. Theyā€™re not my friend anymore due to some other things that happened in early high school on top of that, but trust me, itā€™s something that Iā€™m familiar with too.
I was also ashamed of myself as well for some time. But, after when I was first sexually assaulted, I still didnā€™t mind Dialovers, and in fact, it was a coping mechanism for me (probably the healthiest I could find at that moment too). Although, Laitoā€™s HDB route definitely hit very very hard because it is his darkest route in the series. But you can still watch something and be like ā€œoh god this is a terrible situationā€ but know itā€™s still fictional, and since Laitoā€™s HDB route is a well written one, you can appreciate it from an artistic stance. Art and media shouldnā€™t be limited to drawing the positives. Sure does it glorify nonconsensual situations??? Maybe a little but it does show Yuiā€™s deterioration and trauma. Which is why I donā€™t think it glorifies it too much in HDB, considering what Yuiā€™s thoughts are can be very real.
(Also not saying all sexual assault survivors will have the same opinion of this anime, I donā€™t speak for all survivors. But thereā€™s your perspective from one :))
Regardless, the fanservice of DL, at its core, is a ravishment fantasy franchise. Sure people are here for the lore too (I know I am), but they can also be for the fanservice. I am unsure how old you are, anon, but considering this petty argument is occurring between a friend and you, it sounds like some high school/late middle school drama to me. I preface this considering Iā€™m gonna be arguing something from the 18+ scale too. If youā€™re not 18+ this doesnā€™t rly apply to you (since no minors should be practicing kink) but there is something called CNC, or ā€œconsensual non-consensual.ā€ Also known as ā€œrape roleplay.ā€ Itā€™s a kink that can be used in BDSM, and is enacted by consenting adults. Is it nonconsensual? No way! However, in order to practice this, you need a lot of communication and trust, and itā€™s something that you shouldnā€™t start out with of course. Also, see Netflixā€™ ā€œSex Explainedā€ and I think the first episode is on sexual fantasies. Many women have ravishment fantasies, but that doesnā€™t mean they want it ACTUALLY to happen to them!! With those types of fantasies itā€™s just in a D/s (Dom/sub) power play situation, which again, is performed by two (or more) consenting adults.
When it comes to that argument as well, itā€™s kind of like saying ā€œif you watch and like slasher horror, you support serial killersā€ which,,,, is far from truth. Murder and rape are both terrible things. Weā€™re just more used to seeing glorified violence on mainstream media rather than rape in general. Thereā€™s a whole slasher fandom! With people who love the lore and people who love the characters! Itā€™s pretty similar to this fandom given the circumstances. But thereā€™s people who have crushes on real life serial killers, and thatā€™s just,,,, thatā€™s a huge issue (abs very gross), and very different. Since oneā€™s fantasy, and oneā€™s in real life with real life actions that have affected legitimate families that exist. Even going from the slasher serial killer, itā€™s like ā€œif you like Deadpool, do you support his actions?ā€ (Which yes heā€™s an antihero but he does pretty illegal things) which no!!! Itā€™s fun to explore dark and illegal exposition in a fictional world! Itā€™s an escape! Itā€™s looking at a story and still having empathy and sympathy for the characters.
So no!!! Liking DL is not supporting rape!! Thatā€™s legitimately such a stretch, and if you want to get technical with this, itā€™s a type of fallacy called the ā€œslippery slopeā€ fallacy. I believe itā€™s a combo of others too, but itā€™s making a claim and having the conclusion be way out of left field. I believe it falls under poor deductive reasoning (but it may be unsound inductive reasoning, itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve had to use those skills oops). For an anime specific example, letā€™s just say you know someone who has a crush on Yuno Gasai from Future Diary. Many people do. Many people love her character. Yunoā€™s a very flawed, traumatized character just like the ones in DL. But people love her! But youā€™re not supporting her incredibly unethical actions and murder by liking them!
Even if you know that this is a fictional universe, if you knowthat the characters are flawed but still like their characters, that doesnā€™t mean youā€™d support their actions irl. If theyā€™re an interesting villain like legitimately all the characters (except Yui) in the first game are (the diaboys become both the villain??? And the hero??? Itā€™s blurred in the later games but thatā€™s what I love about DL), but you can appreciate their characters and flaws, thatā€™s not supporting their actions at all. Itā€™s a goddamn fictional universe and if you know not to do that and you know the repercussions of it irl then your friends should know you well enough that you have a good head on your shoulders!!! Shit makes me wicked mad, but itā€™s nothing to lose a friendship over unless if theyā€™re being very toxic (that ex friend I was talking about earlier was a very toxic person and thatā€™s also part of the reason why Iā€™m not her friend anymore but it wasnā€™t DL related). Sure you can disagree with liking DL, but you still have to respect them. Iā€™m linking a video from Markiplier made four years ago with a powerful message.
Iā€™m very sorry youā€™re going through this. Itā€™s completely normal, healthy, and inconsequential to be exploring a dark fictional world but not its contents in real life. Your friends shouldnā€™t be treating you like that. Itā€™s hypocritical of them in my opinion, assuming that they also watch stuff with violence and illegal/unethical acts in themā€”I donā€™t know a single person who doesnā€™t, considering thereā€™s even kids cartoon violence. Best of luck you you though, I hope I was able to help.

Hello! This is Sugar! Wanted to let you know I think you are an amazing writer and I believe in you! I had a quick question for you tho, how/when did you know this was what you wanted to do?
Sending you love!!šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š
Short answer: This has been a long and broken path. Wanting something and making it happen was a series of false starts and self reflection.
But I have always loved storytelling. So hereā€™s my long answer:
I started making OCs for my favorite shows since I can remember. They were all originally self inserts with powers or alterations. To name a few, I had a best friend to Sonic, a sixth Power Ranger, and an immortal being of the Force that helps Luke on his journey. There were so many.
My first fanfic was in Harry Potter, andā€¦ wellā€¦ I donā€™t know if anyone remembers Fanfiction.Net and itā€™s toxicity level in the 90sā€¦ (who knows, maybe itā€™s never changed?) But my tiny little 12-year-old-written self-insert was eaten alive and spit out to die slowly. I had like 12 views, no likes, and 3 comments of vile cruelty.
So then I only wrote for my friends. I created a multiverse combining OCs from Dragonball Z to Star Warsā€¦ Gundam Wing to Harry Potterā€¦ Xanth to Xena and Hercules. I made their descendants, lore, etc. But it was all for my friendsā€™ eyes alone.
In high school, I went to Creative Writing summer camps (which I later became a camp counselor inā€¦ Ah, summer jobsā€¦). In college, one of my majors was English with an emphasis on Creative Writing. But I did realize I had another calling by then too. One that was a bit more stable. And, honestly, Creative Writing courses killed my drive to write. I was looked down on for aspiring to be a ā€œgenre writer.ā€ And itā€™s crazy to think I listened to them, but I didā€¦ except onceā€¦
In my senior year of college, for my last story, I wrote about Luciferā€™s fall from the perspective of the fallen angel himself. It was inspired by John Miltonā€™s Paradise Lost (which I had taken an entire course on) and my own battle with my faith, Catholicism. I had been an active member in the church, but in college I finally let myself explore parts of me I didnā€™t before. I had sex. I let myself finally acknowledge that I wasnā€™t straight. I had more sex with everyone. I dated guys and girls, non binary and trans. And I became an outsider to the world I once knew. All that taken into perspective, I felt for a character who used to be so close to Godā€™s right hand, and then loses his position because of choices that didnā€™t fall in line with the teachings. So I wrote from my heart in a tale as old as patriarchy.
And no one in class made a goddamn negative critique.
I donā€™t know how many of you out there have ever taken a creative writing class, but I still canā€™t put into words how shocking it was to not receive even a single red note. Not even that pretentious jackass who was already published in multiple online magazines had any comment for improvement. Instead, what was supposed to be a fifteen minute round robin of commentary became an hour long conversation about how jarringly relatable Satan is as a protagonist. Some were grappling with God as a tyrant. Others enjoyed the juxtaposition of Jesus and Satan. It was awesome. It was fun. It was everything I wished a my entire four years had been: talking about ideas.
But then I didnā€™t get a single call back from any graduate schools when I decided to use that piece and genre fiction in my portfolio. So I focused instead on the job I did get that does the other thing I love.
And I stopped writing.
Fast forward almost ten years. Iā€™m now married, career secure, and looking to have a baby. I havenā€™t grappled with the fact that I love sex but have married an asexual man who I love beyond words. Iā€™m also going into heat. (Thatā€™s a more honest way to describe the ā€œticking clockā€ everyone talks about as you near your 30s and then get into it. Holy hell ovulation is a hungry beast).
I needed an outlet, and it couldnā€™t be private. I was already too private. At the same time as Iā€™m grappling with this, a friend introduced me to this deliciously dark character of Gaster in Undertale, and I justā€¦ started writing.
I created an AO3 account under the name Dark Crystal Demon and I let myself write whatever I wanted to write. I wrote rape by plants and ghosts. I wrote about women with dicks. Myself with a dick. I wrote about BDSM and Master/Pet play and It. Felt. So. Good.
I feel alive writing whatever I want because I canā€™t be whatever I want in real life. I honestly canā€™t. Iā€™m highly respected in my career, but that all goes away if I reveal an account like this. I want to keep the career I have. So welcome to my secret den of dreams and nightmares. Iā€™m very good at decorating closets I find myself hiding in.
I didnā€™t plan on writing for others, but my love for pleasuring others has definitely intermingled with my love for writing erotic content. Most of the time I write for me, but there are a few of you in my DMs who know when Iā€™m writing for you ^_~ I canā€™t help but tease you. I adore you so.
Teasing friends made me realize I like world building around peopleā€™s desires. So thatā€™s when I started taking commissions. But balancing family, career, and writing has been difficult these last five years. You all who have been with me for a while have seen my giant hiatuses in fanfics, etc.
During this pandemic I realized I wanted to finally give writing itā€™s chance. Instead of taking another career-advancing task, I decided to stay where I am in my job. So for the first time in a very long time, I can finally use my free time for my hobby and not extra work. (Can I just say, making a calendar for when Iā€™m going to work on different fics, commissions, Master Classes, and erotic articles is exhilarating.)
So here I am. Told you it was a long story. Communities in writing are just like relationships, some are abusive and treat you poorly. I got lucky and found one that has let me be me. Thatā€™s why, when I tell you all I appreciate your support, itā€™s coming from the center of my soul. Thank you for letting me be me, especially you, Sugar. You are a very cherished supporter. šŸ’œ

Hello! For the prompt list: Sam/Josh with Poorly Timed Confession/Grief Fic?
38. grief fic + 60. poorly timed confession
tw: death. starts under the cut.
sam wasnā€™t at leoā€™s funeral. he was invited, of course, but he wasnā€™t there. itā€™s still unclear as to why, but everyone was so wrapped up in their own grief that they barely noticed.
well, everyone except for josh.
josh looks fine on the outside (well, as fine as a person can be when their surrogate father-slash-vice president-elect dies right before he can become the vice president-elect), but for whatever physical signs of grief and stress his body is showing, itā€™s infinitely worse inside his head. and so, after he goes home from the white house that night, josh calls sam. and he pours his heart out.Ā 
ā€œlisten, sam, i canā€™t live like this anymore. i... i sat at leoā€™s funeral this morning, and i realized that iā€™ve let too many years go by without telling you this. the year we were together was the happiest iā€™ve ever been, and for a long time, i was content to just be your friend, to be near you, but four years ago, when you left, it nearly killed me. and i thought i could do it, i thought i could move on, but i couldnā€™t. sam, iā€™m in love with you. i think iā€™ve loved you since the day we met, and, god, i would do anything if you would just give me another chance.ā€ josh is completely ruined, on the verge of tears while pacing around his house.Ā 
it takes sam a very long time to respond. josh waits for what feels like an hour.
ā€œjosh,ā€ sam says in that choked voice of his that damn near kills josh,Ā ā€œi got engaged three days ago.ā€
and for once in his life, josh is completely, utterly still. heā€™s frozen for several moments with the phone to his ear, not moving, not blinking, not breathing. when he can finally move his body, he just hangs up the phone.
josh never goes to california to find sam. he grabs will bailey and asks him be dcos (subconsciously, will still reminds him of sam a little, which absolutely has nothing to do with it, and anyway, despite all the russell drama, josh knows that will can do well in this role). will accepts, and while heļæ½ļæ½s not afraid to speak up to josh, he doesnā€™t think itā€™s his place to tell josh to take a break. so josh doesnā€™t take a break, and a year into the santos administration, he has an eternal stress headache, too-high blood pressure, and ulcers. he doesnā€™t have donna this time, either. something in josh just snapped after he hung up on sam, and the heartbreak mixed with the unbelievable stress of the job is literally killing him. eventually, matt forces josh to take a week off because, seriously, between will and lou, weā€™ve got it covered.
josh spends most of his time in hawaii in his hotel room, essentially having an anxiety attack because thereā€™s no one here to force him to actually relax. he calls once a day and is essentially told to shut the hell up and go sit on the beach. when josh comes back, he is not better, but they barely have time to notice because theyā€™re on the brink of getting mattā€™s education bill introduced to the house.
all this time, sam has been living in malibu with his now-wife. and he loves her, sheā€™s great, but not a goddamn day goes by where he doesnā€™t wonder what would have happened if he wasnā€™t engaged when josh called. he sees josh on the news sometimes, steadily looking worse and worse.
in the end, itā€™s donna who really notices. it always is. josh has already tempted fate twice, though. he was fine after being shot, and he was fine after putting his hand through a window, but third timeā€™s the charm.
josh, in what sam thinks is the cruelest thing the universe could have possibly bestowed on them, has a heart attack. and unlike for his predecessor, one is enough.
sam travels to dc for the funeral alone. he sits between donna and joshā€™s mom in the front row, staring at the box that holds joshā€™s body. the women on either side of him let their tears flow freely, but sam is still barely able to process whatā€™s happening.
in his hotel room that night, the emotion hits him ferociously. he wants to scream, shout, smash the lamp and the television and jump out the fucking window, but all he does is send himself into quiet hysterics, sobbing noiselessly, knuckles white from gripping a pillow to his chest as he sits against the headboard of the bed, feeling like heā€™s dying, too.
when he goes back to california, heā€™s quiet. that was to be expected, of course. his best friend just died. but the quiet lasts too long. sam used to be chatty, a nervous talker, but now he only speaks when he absolutely has to do so. heā€™s... different. his coworkers notice. his wife notices. she gently suggests that he see a therapist.Ā 
he just saysĀ ā€œokay.ā€
the therapist has a lot of trouble getting anything out of him. week after week, he answers in single words, in short sentences.
sam doesnā€™t write anymore, either. he used to pen short stories, unfinished novels, poems, whatever, but now, he just doesnā€™t. he canā€™t. itā€™s like the sight of joshā€™s body drained him of his words. legal briefs, which used to be easy, are now a struggle. he pulls them off, he supposes. heā€™s still good at his job, but he finds no joy in it.
sam knows his wife locks herself in the bathroom and cries and he knows itā€™s his fault and he feels really bad because he canā€™t do anything about it because he thinks that there simply is no feeling better becauseĀ heā€™s pretty goddamn sure he killed josh lyman.
and when he tells his therapist all this, sheā€™s shocked (of course, she covers it well, as sheā€™s been trained to do) because this is the first time heā€™s strung together more than six or seven words in one answer.
ā€œi think it was my fault,ā€ sam says.Ā ā€œhe called me and told me he was in love with me, and i told him i was engaged, and he just hung up. i didnā€™t call him back. and when i would see him on the news, he just kept looking worse. i figured i was the last person he wanted to talk to, so i just... didnā€™t call. and then a month after the last time i see him on television, donna calls me, and heā€™s dead. and the worst part is that i loved him, too. dammit, i loved him, too.ā€
he spills everything that session, and a month later, he writes a poem: ā€œrequiem for a friend.ā€ one and a half months after that, he starts initiating small talk again. slowly, week by week, he feels the pain in his chest start to ease, and along with it, the guilt.
there are good days and there are bad days and there are worse days, but sam lives through them all. he goes through every single one of them with the same goal: to be there. and he is. goddammit, he is there, he is present, because if josh canā€™t be, sam sure as hell will be.
and ahead he forges. in grief, in love, in life, ahead he forges.
color palate/vibes: black. too many people dressed in black. too-bright malibu sunshine. an ache in joshā€™s head, an ache in samā€™s chest , and they just wonā€™t go away.
this is partially inspired by that one fic where josh doesnā€™t take that vacation and works himself to death (that one was josh/donna, though, i think). very sorry, i do not know what it is, but it is on ao3 in case anyone happens to run across this.
also, holy shit. i write a lot of pining, but this is actually the saddest thing Iā€™ve ever written. iā€™m about 99% sure that this is NOT what you meant, anon, but this is what my brain spit out. my apologies, but as always, if i had to feel things, you all have to feel them, too.

k-drama rec list
Prior to 2020 Iā€™d maybe watched 2 k-dramas in my entire life, but this year I got sucked in, thanks to some great recs, and yā€™know, *gestures * everything.Ā Ā 
I think Iā€™d held off watching kdramas because my impression of them was limited to romances that I didnā€™t enjoy at all. But this was the year I discovered the equivalent ofĀ ā€œgen ficā€ kdrama- dramas that had wonderful ensemble casts, strong story lines that werenā€™t entirely romance focused and also a variety in terms of themes and styles. A big plus was that I found so many of these dramas had women leading the writersā€™ room, and seeing the effect of that in the story telling. (Notable exceptions: a certainĀ ā€œstarā€ writer who should please stop inflicting her badly written, formulaic crap on the world, yes Kim Eun-Sook, I mean you, and whoever wrote that trashfire Flower of Evil)
So here I am with my own rec list! Caveat- these are mostly not the dramas released in 2020, Iā€™m still playing catch up! :)
Under the cut for length
My Mister/ My AhjussiĀ Ā (2018, Written by Park Hae-Young, Directed by Kim Won-Seok, starring Lee Sun-kyun and Lee Ji-eun aka IU)Ā 
This was definitely my absolute favourite of the shows I watched this year across western/ asian media. Itā€™s a story about the thread that binds us all and the ineffability of human connection. Itā€™s also a story that deconstructs ideas of masculinity and honour and shame in a non-western context, but with an extremely compassionate touch.Ā  Itā€™s a story that doesnā€™t shy away from showing the consequences of material and spiritual poverty; and how one can so easily feed into the other.Ā Itā€™s a love story that isnā€™t a romance, except that itā€™s a Romance. Itā€™s about finding salvation in one another and in the kindness of strangers.Ā  Itā€™s about choosing life, and picking yourself up off the floor to take that one last step and then the next and then the next. The one quibble I have with the series is that it could have been better paced, it does get extremely slow after the half way mark. But god, do they land the ending. Both Lee Sun-kyun and IU turn in absolutely heartbreaking performances, and fair warning, be prepared to go through an entire box of tissues watching this series.Ā 
Tumblr media
LifeĀ  (2018,Ā  written by Lee Soo-yeon Ā and directed by Hong Jong-chan,Ā starring Lee Dong-wook, Cho Seung-woo, Won Jin-ah, Lee Kyu-hyung, Yoo Jae-myung and Moon So-ri.)
Medical dramas are very much not my thing, and I wouldnā€™t have taken a chance on it except that @michyeosseo said I should, and she was right! Itā€™s a medical drama in the sense that itā€™s set in a hospital, but rather than aĀ ā€œcase-ficā€ format, this is actually a sharp commentary on the corporatization of health care, and the business of mixing, well, money and what should be a fundamental human right. Writer Lee Soo-yeon was coming off the global success of Stranger/Secret Forest S1 when this aired, so I understand that expectations were probably sky-high, and people were disappointed when this show didnā€™t give them the adrenaline rush that they wanted. On the other hand, I thought that this outing was really much more nuanced in terms of the politics and also how the ending doesnā€™t allow you the luxury of easy-fixes. This show has a great ensemble cast, and while it took me a while to get used to Lee Dong-wookā€™s woodenness (i ended up calling him mr.cadaver after watching this and was surprised to learn that heā€™s very popular?), in the end I was quite sold on his version of angry angst-bucket elder-sibling Dr.Ye Jin-woo. His best scenes were with Lee Kyu-hyung who turns in a lovely, achy performance as the paraplegic Dr. Ye Seon-woo who just wants to live a normal life. The love story between the two brothers is actually the emotional backbone of the story, and I think they landed that perfectly.Ā 
My one quibble with writer-nim is that she ended up writing in a forgettable and somewhat (for me at least) uncomfortable romance between the characters played by Won Jin-ah and Cho Seung-Woo. I think part of my uncomfortable-feeling was that I got the strong sense that the writer herself didnā€™t want to write this romance, it was as if she was being made to shoe-horn it in for Studio Reasons, and she basically grit her teeth and did the worst possible job of it.Ā Ā I do wish we could have absolutely had the OT3 of my dreams: Moon So-ri/Cho Seung-woo/Yoo Jae-myung like, cā€™mon TV gods MAKE IT HAPPEN, just...look at them!!!!Ā 
Anyway, that apart, I think this was a very engaging series, and by engaging, I also mean thirst-enabling, see below.Ā 
Tumblr media
Ā Stranger (aka Secret ForestĀ  or Forest of Secrets) S1 & 2Ā :Ā (2017-, Written by Lee Soo-yeon, directed byĀ 
2017ā€²s smash hit aired a much anticipated second season in 2020, and I managed to catch up just in time to watch that live, so that was thrilling :D . Writer Lee Soo-yeonĀ  mixes up thriller/office comedy/political commentary in an ambitious series. I think S1 is moreĀ ā€œexcitingā€ than S2 in terms of the mystery and pacing,Ā  but S2 is far more dense and interesting in terms of political commentary because it takes a long hard look at institutional corruption and in true writer-nim fashion doesnā€™t prescribe any easy solutions. Anyway, please enjoy public prosecutor Cho Seung-woo and police officer Bae Doona as partners/soulmates kicking ass and taking names in pursuit of Truth, Justice and just a goddamn peaceful meal, along with a stunningly competent ensemble cast. Also yes, Han Yeo Jin is a lesbian, sorry, I donā€™t make the rules.Ā 
Tumblr media
Search: WWWĀ  (2019, Written by Kwon Do-Eun, directed by Jung Ji-hyun & Kwon Young-il, starringĀ  Im Soo-jung, Lee Da-hee, Jeon Hye-jin)
GOD. Where do I start? +1000 for writer Kwon Do-Eun sayingĀ ā€œfuck the patriarchyā€ in the most grandiose way possible, i.e. absolutely refusing to acknowledge that it exists. Yes, this is that power fantasy, and itā€™s also a fun, slice-of-lifeĀ  tale about three women navigating their way through work, romance, national politics and everything in between. Itā€™s true that I wasnā€™t entirely sold on the amount of time spent on the romance, and I really wish theyā€™d actually had a textual wlw romance, though the subtext through the entire series is PRACTICALLY TEXT. But still, it maintains that veneer of plausible deniability and I think queer fans who are sick of that kind of treatment in media have a very valid grouse against the show. On the other hand, personally I felt that the queer-platonic vibe of the show is very wonderful and true to real life, and it was only reinforced by the ending. This is a show written by a woman for women (like me), and it shows.Ā 
Tumblr media
Hyena Ā (2020, Written by Kim Roo-Ri, directed by Jang Tae-yoo & Lee Chang Woo, starringĀ  Kim Hye-soo and Ju Ji-hoon )
Those of you whoā€™ve been watching hit zombie epic Kingdom are probably familiar with Ju Ji-hoonā€™s brand of sexiness already. I had not watched Kingdom and got hit in the face by Mr.Sexy McSexyPantsā€™ turn as a brash, privileged-by-birth, up and coming lawyer who gets completely runover by the smoking hot and incredibly dangerous fellow lawyer/competitor from the other side of the tracks in the person of Kim Hye-Soo. When I say they set the room on fire, I mean it, ok. Every single scene between these two is an actual bonfire of sexual attraction and emotional hand grenades, and theyā€™re both absolutely riveting to watch.Ā ā€œFlower of Evilā€ wishes they had what this show has- an actual grown up romance as opposed to a thirteen year old twilight fanā€™s idea of an adult romance.Ā 
TheĀ ā€œlawyerā€ shenanigans and theĀ ā€œcasesā€ are hit or miss, and I think the occasional comedy fell flat for me. But thatā€™s not why I mainlined like 6 episodes of this series overnight like a coke addict, and thatā€™s not why youā€™re going to do it either. Itā€™s so RARE, even in these enlightened days to find a female character like Jung Geum-ja: hard as nails, unapologetic about it, and not punished by the narrative for it. The best part for me is that she feels like a womanā€™s woman, not a manā€™s idea of what a Strong Female Character should be. Anyways, when I grow up I want to have what Kim Hye-soo has ok?
Tumblr media
Other dramas that I watched this year, quickly rated:
The King: Eternal Monarch (3/10 and those 3 points are only for the combined goodness of second leads who deserved better- Jung Eun Chae, Woo Do Hwan and Kim Kyung Nam. Please head over to my AO3 and read my attempts to fix this garbage fire and rescue their characters from canon)
Flower of Evil (-10/100, dont @ me)
Tale of the Nine Tailed (5/10, I think it succeeds at what it set out to do, which is a light hearted, sweet fantasy-romance-melodrama, plus ā€œsecond leadā€ Kim Beom will make you cry as the hot mess of a half human/ half fox spirit ALL TEARS character. I think if youā€™re into kdrama romances as a genre, this is probably a good bet?)
SignalĀ Ā (7/10,Ā Ā This was the first full kdrama I watched this year and would definitely recommend. Itā€™s a police procedural with time travel shenanigans and has an engaging plot, good pacing, texture and compelling performances. My one disappointment with it was the way they wrote Kim Hye-sooā€™s character. As literally the only female character to survive in any way, she was given short shrift, and toward the end it really began to grate on me.)
Six Flying Dragons - (7/10, also would recommend if youā€™re interested in Korean historicals. It definitely already feels a bit dated in terms of styling and production values, and even scripting and acting choices. But it has a good balance of fantasy and history and political commentary. I was not a fan of Yoo In-Ahā€™s performance in this series, but itā€™s not anything that would make you want to nope out of the series. Itā€™s GoT , if GoT was thoughtful about politics and characters and not the misogynist, racist trashfire that it became.)
My Country: The New Age - (3.5/10, and thatā€™s 3 points to Jang Hyukā€™s fan and 0.5.points to Woo Do Hwanā€™s heaving bosom. If you like your historical drama/fantasy with very pretty men, very gay subtext -seriously RIP to show makers who thought they could hetero it but didnā€™t account for Woo Do Hwanā€™s Tragic Face- lots of blood and tears and very nonsense plot, this is right up your alley. I probably would have enjoyed it more in other circumstances, I think? But this one just annoyed me too much at the time!Ā 
I have a couple of more dramas to watch on my list, thatā€™ll probably carry me over into 2021, so see ya on the other side! :D

RHONJ Recrap - season 11, ep 1 - C U Next Tuesday!
Greetings fellow prostitution whores and welcome to my new weekly recrap of American institution The Real Housewives of New Jersey! Before I jump in Iā€™ll introduce myself by saying that Iā€™m a housewives super fan (I even watched DC, an experience I wouldnā€™t wish on my worst sister-in-law), an underemployed comedy writer (I canā€™t define ā€œnapalmā€ either, Lauren Manzo), and nothing makes me happier than to watch 6 bedazzled hypocrites in Cheesecake Factory mansions argue etiquette and loyalty between physical altercations in the world renowned cultural hub of Paterson, New Jersey. I know essay recaps are a bit of a relic but I am fond of ye olde written word so please enjoy this blast from the past, you scumbags!
We open without fanfare mid-scene to red-eyed Jackie and dead-eyed Teresa sitting in Margaretā€™s partially finished, wallpaper smothered home. We get the Bad Girls Club black-and-white flashes but unlike in Beverly Hills weā€™re not flashing to ā€œthree months earlierā€ but instead to ā€œthree days earlier.ā€ It might take women of less gumption precious time to build to a production-halting confrontation but it only takes these agents of chaos half a week to get the meatball rolling.
Letā€™s back up a little to the ominous ā€œthree days priorā€ and catch up with our hot girls. Itā€™s Jackieā€™s giant hot husbandā€™s 46th birthday so sheā€™s throwing him a party under a tent in the parking lot of a Greek restaurant. We learn that Teresa and Joeā€™s father has sadly passed in the offseason and Dolores Thee Stallion and Margaret have both had full cosmetic overhauls - Dolores with a second butt enhancement that left her with a giant hip scar rivaled only by Sally from Nightmare before Christmas and Margaret with a boob lift and apparent nipple sharpening (is that a procedure?) that she advertises in a blush silk top with no bra. Never one to be outdone at a parking lot birthday party, Joe Gorga arrives with his storyline - I mean wife, Melissa - also smuggling raisins under a skin tight childrenā€™s white T-shirt. Nipples are trending, ladies!
Tumblr media
The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Tumblr media
A beautiful boob lift.

Tarzanā€™s headlights.
Margaretā€™s hot employee Lexi and Teresaā€™s hot realtor Michelle (both of whom are official friends-of this year), as well as iconic social wrecking ball and Aydin Center for Plastic Surgery mascot Jennifer all saunter in for car park cocktails at this 3D nipple fashion show and as the night devolves we see the cast getting truly shit-housed on shots when out of nowhere storyline sniper Teresa drops the bomb that she heard sexy birthday Bigfoot Evan is cheating on Jackie... more specifically, that he ā€œdoes stuffā€ at the gym but mysteriously canā€™t remember any details or where she heard this head-scratching accusation that draws as many gasps as it does ā€œhuhs?ā€ Honest straight people question: do yā€™all hook up at gyms? And if so, where? Are there co-ed saunas now? Also can one of you explain the allure of Mike and Molly to me? Moving on. Most shocking was that the Perez Hilton of North Jersey doesnā€™t just drop this wild accusation once, she gleefully skips through this asphalt soiree like a goddamn town crier, addressing everyone she passes like Belle through the town square.
The next day the hard partying crew of Jersey Shore: All Grown Up recovers from their throbbing hangovers and we see cool mom Melissa traipsing through her particle board mausoleum in see-through sweatpants with a visible thong in front of her kidsā€™ friends (you girls keep me young!), Marge Sr. driving a blue Mini Cooper with eyelashes on the headlights (which I assume are like the spinning rims of the Jersey Grandma community), and a flashback of Margaretā€™s Joe puking next to a tree (relatable, my dude).
Tumblr media
Marge Sr.: Fully Loaded.

You girls keep me young!
Over at Jenniferā€™s palatial child farm we learn that her parents fight so much these days that she moved her father (Carl from Up!) to her multi-generational compound which has only angered her mother more.
Tumblr media
Jenniferā€™s sweet dad.
We then find out Doloresā€™s dry boyfriend David with whom she shares the burning passion of a melting ice sculpture now lives with her bulging slab of a son Frankie Jr. in the house he and Delores built together but Dolores curiously still lives with her also bulging but slightly slimey ex Frank Sr. in her original house, a near Braunwyn-level web of over-explained but still vague relationship fuckery of which none of them seem on the same page. Dolores hid her surgery from David until the day before, David still works constantly so she hangs out with her ex all the time, and I canā€™t help but think that we arenā€™t getting the full story on whatever the fuck is happening under these two roofs. Are they brother-husbands? Is Frank Sr. piping both of them? Can Frankie Jr. DM me his nudes please? The only one being straight-forward in these duel households of confusion is Doloresā€™s dog who is simply named Dog and I honestly appreciate his refreshing transparency.
Tumblr media
Dog Catania, king of transparency.
Finally, Jackie calls Teresa to organize an infamous Jersey sit-down because she somehow got wind of the out-of-thin-air accusations that Teresa all but presented with a bull horn and a PowerPoint at Evanā€™s parking lot social. They decide to meet at Margaretā€™s partially constructed house/ wallpaper showroom because itā€™s neutral territory to hash things out in a relaxing landscape of ladders and contrasting patterns and the tension is so thick you could cut it with one of Margaretā€™s newly renovated nipples.
Jackie pleads with Tre to clear her husbandā€™s good name and Tre enters a baffling Kelly-Anne Conway bullshit loop which includes such hits as ā€œwoman to woman, if I heard this you wouldnā€™t want me to tell you?ā€ (a reasonable point which is actually working against Teresa because itā€™s the opposite of what she did), then explaining to Margaret the immediately contradictory ā€œI didnā€™t tell her and itā€™s not like I told Evan, I told my friendsā€ (which is an explanation of what she obviously did wrong but said in the tone of a defense), the wacky last ditch nonsense deflection ā€œAlright let me tell you the reason why I did it. This year, now, you know Iā€™m single now. Iā€™ve been approached by a lot of married men that think that itā€™s OK to have affairs,ā€ and finally just saying fuck it and rewriting history ā€œI did not spread a rumor, I heard a rumor.ā€
The truth is that Teresa was retaliating for a cheating rumor Jackie entertained about her last year but neither can be held to such unreasonable expectations like addressing reality or admitting fault which is actually ideal because if I cared to see emotionally mature community leaders converse thoughtfully Iā€™d watch Oprahā€™s Super Soul Sunday not this unhinged turnpike circus.
Jackieā€™s rival wonā€™t budge so she chooses the nuclear option, looks the reigning matriarch of Paterson in her vacant eyes, and declares confidently ā€œI heard Gia snorts coke in the bathroom at partiesā€ which stopped time on Earth as far as Iā€™m concerned. Is this wild accusation true? Probably not. Was this retaliatory tit equal to the offending tat? Debatable. Do I blame Teresa for immediately whipping into a tailspin and storming out screaming the C-word (no Kathy Wakile, not ā€œcanoli kitā€) at Jackie no less than 80 times? Girl, no I do not. Jackie has since clarified (backtracked?) that this was an analogy not a rumor she heard which... OK, and whether or not either of the atomic bombs dropped in this breakneck premiere were true, Iā€™m excited to watch our Paterson superstars battle it out for another batshit season!
Tumblr media
Esteemed poet laureat of Paterson, NJ.
Join me and my own rock hard nipples next week to recrap a girls trip to Lake George, more developments in the case of Jackie vs Teresa: Jersey Crime Story, and hopefully another cameo by breakout superstar Dog Catania! Please share this recrap with the prostitution whores in your life if you enjoy and follow me on Tumblr (engaged19times), Insta (@engagednineteentimes), and Twitter (@_engaged19times)! Iā€™m recrapping weekly but I donā€™t get screeners (yet) and it takes me a few days to catch up so please be patient!

Unfortunately, You Are Experiencing Symptoms of Falling in Love: Part 3
Having your long-term boyfriend cheat on you is pretty bad, but you're lucky enough to have a rich, pro-hero best friend who lets you move in with him until you get a new apartment. Except lockdown happens. And you can't look for a new apartment anymore, and you can't go anywhere anymore, and neither can your best friend, and you think you might be falling a little bit in love with him. Or maybe you've been in love with him all along.
The story of how it takes a nationwide lockdown for you and Bakugou Katsuki to finally get together, part 3!
warnings: Coronavirus mentions
wordcount: 2,384
I stayed up til like 3 am to finish this chapter because I wanted the first day to be over so bad :/ so please like it. Also I donā€™t know why that scene with the old lady happened she just wanted to be written. I kinda want to make her a side character oops
Tumblr media
Katsukiā€™s apartment never failed to impress you. You didnā€™t remember much about it, having only visited a few times, and he was reluctant to allow even his closest friends to explore his living space with wild abandon. You had to admit, you were excited to get to see his entire living space up close and personal. Kirishima was going to be so jealous, you thought to yourself, even cracking a slight smile. Even the lobby of the apartment building was sleek and professional, befitting the number two hero. And it was secure as well.
ā€œAlright, sit tight. I have to get your dumb face a security login so that you can get in and out without me having to escort you everywhere like some fucking bodyguard,ā€ said Bakugou. You smiled and plopped down on one of the plush lobby chairs, enjoying sinking into the luxurious cushions while Katsuki talked to the lady at the front counter. ā€œI need to add her to my room permissions. Can you make her a card?ā€
The woman at the counter desk seemed sweet, a fact that was confirmed when you heard Katsuki speak to her without a single harsh word. He had always had a soft spot for grandma type. Her wrinkled face lit up as she glanced down to see you.
ā€œOh Katsuki, youā€™ve finally brought over a girlfriend! Iā€™m so happy to see it, I knew you had it in you!ā€ the woman exclaimed. Your eyes widened in surprise, and Katsuki choked in surprise loudly for a few seconds before regaining his voice.
ā€œWhat? No. No. This is my friend. Sheā€™s had some apartment trouble, and she needs a place to stay,ā€ Katsuki explained with the patience he typically reserved for rescue missions. The womanā€™s smile got even wider.
ā€œOh, I bet she had some apartment trouble all right. Very well, and how long will she be staying?ā€ You couldnā€™t see Katsukiā€™s face, but you could feel him rolling his eyes.
ā€œIndefinitely.ā€ The woman at the counter raised her eyebrows sky-high.
ā€œSo you mean to say that you are having this gorgeous young lady move in with you for an indefinite period of time, and sheā€™s not your girlfriend?ā€ You giggled to yourself once more. Clearly, this old woman was the type to give Katsuki a run for his money. Back in high school, he already would have been yelling his head off, and while you knew he was still holding it in, he was mature enough to remain calm. Well, as calm as he could be. Watching him try to hold himself back was highly entertaining.
ā€œOld woman, I am telling you sheā€™s not my girlfriend. End of discussion. Now give her a card.ā€ Katsuki folded his arms across his chest. He meant business, and the woman at the counter seemed to realize that he wasnā€™t in the mood. While part of you wanted to relax in the comfy chair and watch your friend get teased by an old lady while he tried not to blow up at her, the other part just wanted to lie down and go to bed. It wasnā€™t quite night yet, just around the time you would want to be eating the dinner you had planned to make for Takumi, but the events of the past few hours had you drained. The woman nodded, still smiling brightly.
ā€œAlright, alright, I believe you. Iā€™ll just need some form of identification to put her into our system and the card will be in your mailbox by tomorrow morning. Sound good?ā€ Katsuki nodded, while you handed him your driverā€™s license. She quickly scanned it into the system and handed it back to you, and you stood up, following Katsuki to the elevator. The doors to the elevator closed, and you saw Katsuki swipe his access card and push the button for the top floor. Odd. You could have sworn he lived somewhere in the middle of the building.
ā€œSorry about the old woman. She means well,ā€ Katsuki said gruffly. ā€œSheā€™s just too nosy for her own damn good, and sheā€™s always trying to set me up with her friendā€™s granddaughters. Telling me I need to settle down. Fucking ridiculous.ā€ You had to laugh as well. Katsuki had never been the type for long-term relationships, you had always been the one of your duo to peruse that. Takumi had been your third long-term relationship, and there had been many dates and flirting phases with others beforehand, but you could count on one hand the number of women Katsuki had ever mentioned to you. You knew he had hookups sometimes; never taking the women back to his place. And there had been one girl you had actually met, though she hadnā€™t lasted either. He hadnā€™t been too sad, though, claiming she had tried to get with him for his hero status. If there was one thing Katsuki wasnā€™t, it was superficial. He was honest to a fault, and he didnā€™t respect anyone who didnā€™t act the same.
ā€œI think sheā€™s nice,ā€ you replied happily.
ā€œOf course you do. Probably going to end up going over to her apartment for tea every fucking week,ā€ grumbled Katsuki. Your face lit up.
ā€œSheā€™ll invite me for tea?ā€
ā€œShut up. Iā€™ll make you tea if you want it so goddamn bad, what do you need her for?ā€ The elevator dinged, signaling your arrival at the top floor. Confused, you turned to Katsuki.
ā€œI didnā€™t think you lived on the top floor?ā€ Katsuki turned to you, raising an eyebrow.
ā€œAh yeah, itā€™s a bit of a recent thing. I moved in about a month ago. The old owner moved out, and I decided to upgrade. Got the whole floor to myself. I was gonna let you take a peek at the new setup, but youā€™ve been pretty busy.ā€ You frowned, curling slightly inward on yourself. You had been neglecting your relationships for your work lately, and you had been neglecting Katsuki for Takumi as well.
ā€œIā€™m sorry,ā€ you said with a small voice.
ā€œDoesnā€™t fucking matter, donā€™t care. Just follow me.ā€ Katsuki lead you down a short hallway to another locked door, which he swiped to let you in, holding the door open for you. The first door lead to a small room with a coat and shoe rack, where you carefully placed youā€™re your shoes. Katsuki handed you a pair of house slippers, which fit surprisingly well. You wondered to yourself why he had them when his feet were so much bigger than your, but you were distracted by the opening of the second door that revealed Katsukiā€™s new penthouse apartment.
The apartment screamed ā€œbachelor padā€ dominated by black and grey tones, with the occasional pop of orange. Katsukiā€™s colors. It had a very modern, open feel to it, with lots of steel fixtures and open space. The living room was wide, with a large couch placed center in front of an even larger tv. Behind it, visible due to the mostly open-floor plan of the apartment, was the kitchen, decked out with the finest culinary tools. You almost drooled when you saw the solid copper pots. Then again, Katsuki had always been a talented and devoted cook, so it didnā€™t surprise you to see that he had invested heavily in his kitchen. There was even a loft above the kitchen that looked like another, smaller, lounge area. The full-length windows let in the soft light of the sunset. There were a few doors on the sides that likely lead to the rest of the apartment, and you followed Katsuki as he moved to show them to you.
ā€œThereā€™s a private pool on the second floor, nothing too big, I thought it might be nice for a get-together or something. Been thinking about maybe having more people over to the new place, thought it might be nice. Thereā€™s also a workout room, I donā€™t use it too much because the agencyā€™s got more machines and shit, but itā€™s nice to have one on hand. Thereā€™s two bathrooms, but only one with a bath and everything, so weā€™ll be sharing. Donā€™t put your crap everywhere. Your room is on the left, mine is on the right.ā€
Your room was smaller than Katsukiā€™s, as he had the master with bathroom attached. Sure it wouldnā€™t be ideal to have to use a shower that you had to walk through his room to get to, but it wouldnā€™t be an issue. You were both adults, and hopefully you would be moving out to your own place soon enough. Still, you knew you would be comfortable here.
ā€œIs it ok if I go to sleep soon?ā€ you asked Katsuki. His eyes bugged out.
ā€œAre you stupid? You want to go to bed without eating dinner? If you live in my house, you follow my rules, and one of my rules is making sure you fucking eat,ā€ Katsuki barked. You smiled carefully, sitting on the edge of your bed.
ā€œI guess it kind of slipped my mind, but Iā€™m not really that hungry,ā€ you replied. Which was true. Now that you had finally started to settle down again, all of the pain of the day was starting to rush back. You had distracted yourself with the move earlier, but now that you had arrived, you didnā€™t have anything to focus on. True, you should probably eat. But you werenā€™t really in the mood to move at all right now. You flopped down on the bed, sprawling across it.
ā€œYou have to eat. I donā€™t care what you want. Iā€™ll make something simple, just eggs on rice. You like that boring shit, donā€™t you? Iā€™ll do you a favor and make it all gross and tasteless just how you like it,ā€ Katsuki declared.
ā€œYouā€™re the one who makes food that Satan himself would be afraid to eat for fear of burning his mouth off. Iā€™m not the weirdo here, Katsuki.ā€ He laughed brightly.
ā€œNo, youā€™re the coward here. Go jump in the shower, princess, get cleaned up. Iā€™ll get dinner ready. Now you were the one choking in surprise, flustered that he had actually taken your flippant comment in the car at face value.
ā€œPrincess? Where did that come from?ā€ you asked with confusion.
ā€œAre you seriously going to tell me you want another new nickname? You said it was fine in the car,ā€ Katsuki said, half teasingly, half seriously. You sputtered, trying to come up with words to defend yourself.
ā€œWell, I didnā€™t think you were serious. Clearly I wasnā€™t!ā€ you replied, as Katsuki moved out of your new room towards the kitchen.
ā€œToo fucking bad, picky princess. Now seriously, you need a shower. Youā€™re tracking that bastardā€™s germs all over my house.ā€ What he said wasnā€™t scientifically true, but you knew you would feel better after having washed any traces of Takumi off of you, metaphorically and physically scrubbing him out of your life.
You padded behind Katsuki as he grabbed a towel out of a small closet and tossed it at you. It was big and soft, and smelled like his detergent. You couldnā€™t help but wrap it around you a little. Katsukiā€™s room was predictably clean, like the neat freak he was, and you were saddened to note the absence of anything to poke fun at him for. The master bathroom was large and fancy like the rest of the house, and Katsuki had to show you how to work the shower before he could leave to start dinner. You were about to have him head out so you could clean up when you realized something.
ā€œKatsuki, what am I going to wear after the shower?ā€ You saw his face fall slightly.
ā€œShit. Let me grab something.ā€ You heard him rustle around in his drawers, and he pulled out a soft shirt, hoodie, shorts, and boxers, handing them to you. Part of you felt a bit weird about borrowing your friendā€™s underwear, but it couldnā€™t be helped. If you had packed, you wouldnā€™t be in this situation, so you really had nothing to complain about. ā€œYou can use these. Iā€™ll wash your stuff so you can wear it when we pack up tomorrow. And you can grab whatever hair and body stuff you need as well, just open something new if you need it. Iā€™ll get dinner. Donā€™t take a fucking century.ā€ With that, he closed the door and left for the kitchen.
Katsukiā€™s shower was fantastic. Sure, Takumi had convinced you to splurge on a fancier apartment than you were used to, but this was next level. And all of Katsukiā€™s products were high-quality as well. You almost wanted to steal them for yourself, though that put you at the risk of permanently smelling like him. You almost thought it would be worth it, you thought to yourself as you slathered on moisturizer.
You pulled on Katsukiā€™s clothes, which were a bit too big, but manageable. Thank goodness for drawstring pants. He had times dinner perfectly, sliding the fried eggs over the rice right as you stepped into the kitchen. Smelling the food, you realized you were hungrier than you thought you had been. You inhaled the food, thanking him profusely. He shook his head, knowing he had been right. After you finished eating, it was closer to nighttime, and you felt the day beginning to crash over you again, this time inspiring the urge to sleep. Katsuki noticed quickly.
ā€œYou arenā€™t going to be any use at all if youā€™re tired. Get some sleep, princess. We have a big day tomorrow.ā€ You nodded sleepily in agreement, and walked over to what was now ā€œyourā€ room. Katsuki stood in the doorway as you snuggled into the covers, and reached to turn out the light. You spoke quietly.
ā€œSeriously, Katsuki. I donā€™t know how I can ever repay you for this. Itā€™s too much.ā€ The room went dark, and you heard the door start to swing closed.
ā€œDonā€™t be stupid. You donā€™t have to pay my back. Donā€™t even fucking think about it. I wonā€™t let you. And donā€™t thank me either,ā€ he said quietly, a slight edge to his voice. ā€œIā€™m doing this because I want to. So shut up and go to bed. You need to be ready for tomorrow.ā€

The mailbox had always been there, smack-dab in the middle of the small patch of grass and some bushes generously called the Park.
Every day, the postman would flick the flag up, and every single time, it would be back down before sunset.
There were quite a number of theories circulating around.
Some thought there was an invisible house next to it. Some argued there mustā€™ve been a ghost house, demolished decades ago.
Others spoke of a faerie ring, or a werewolf post box, or even a direct line to Santa.
Kylie was going to figure that mystery out once and for all.
She was ready for anything: she had salt, and a cross, and the silver fountain pen her grandparents had gifted her as a graduation gift.
And, just in case it turned out to be Santa, she prepared a nice, long letter. She might not believe in the guy, but surely she could fake it long enough to get a gift or two out of it?
So, yeah, Kylie was ready for everything.
Except for a crow.
A crow, perhaps even one of the regulars at the bird-feeder her mother always put out, flew down to rest on the mailbox.
It preened a little, flicked the little flag down and, within seconds, it was gone again.
Surely that couldnā€™t have been it?
Kylie scrambled out of the bushes she was hiding in, reaching the mailbox in a record time.
Opening the flap, she was ready for anything.
Maybe it was filled with cobwebs or bugs or stuffed to the gills with mail. Maybe there was a cursed amulet, or a treasure map, or a pendant which would give her magical powers?
In any case, she was too curious to care about the possible breach of somebodyā€™s privacy.
Kylie opened the flap and stared inside.
Emptiness glared back.
With a sigh, she closed the mailbox. A loud noise nearly gave her a heart attack before she realized it was just the flag, jarred upright by the sudden motion.
Well. That was boring.
As she made her way back home, she missed the light-blue glow seeping through the cracks in the mailbox, static filling the air just as an airplane was passing by.
The crow returned shortly after, flicking the flag back down with a slightly more vicious peck than before.Ā 
(Note: The entry below was disqualified due to length, but is still awesome.)
Paper Tiger
By: @daalsethā€‹
Lamont was not an impressive man. Small, balding, wearing an ill fitting suit, thick glasses with heavy frames, and clutching a file folder in his hand, he seemed to grow smaller as he entered the Oval Office. The new president was sitting behind the desk for the first time. He on the other hand was tall and loud and to be blunt, everything the first man wasnā€™t. But then he was a politician.
ā€œMr, President, sir?ā€ said Lamont with a quiet mousy squeak, ā€œExcuse me, but itā€™s time for your high security briefing, sir.ā€
ā€œWhat?ā€ said the President, ā€œDidnā€™t we just spend the last three months briefing me on everything from the Chinese highway system to Agricultural Department Seating charts? You mean thereā€™s more?ā€
ā€œYes sir. You see sir, there are a couple of items that can only be known by the sitting President. We had to wait until you had taken the oath of office.ā€
The President had a scowl on his face, ā€œOh all right then. Whatā€™s your name, son?ā€
ā€œLamont, sir. Avery Lamont.ā€
ā€œWell then Lamont, pull up a chair and letā€™s get on with this.ā€
Lamont pulled a chair up to the front of the Presidentā€™s desk and sat down awkwardly. He was uncomfortable in the presence of the President. Brassy, loud, strong men always made him uncomfortable. To be honest, that was also true of loud, strong women as well. For that matter, quiet, meek, men and women made him uncomfortable too. Avery Lamont was just not comfortable around people.
ā€œOk, well to begin sir, itā€™s about the nuclear codes.ā€
ā€œAw everybody knows about them. Theyā€™re in the Nuclear Football that the Secret Service or one of my aids carry wherever I go. If weā€™re attacked, we open it and thereā€™s our options for retaliation. I already covered this with the Joint Chiefs.ā€
Lamont looked even more uncomfortable, ā€œWell sir, thatā€™s the thing, uh, they arenā€™t in there.ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€ asked the new President in surprise.
ā€œWell sir, the Joint Chiefs donā€™t know this but the football is all a ruse, a decoy. The bag actually contains a pair of running shoes, and a sweatshirt.ā€
The President was stunned, ā€œWell then where are the codes?ā€
ā€œW-well sir, thatā€™s the, uh, thing sir. We, uh, d-donā€™t actually know.ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean you donā€™t know?ā€
ā€œWell sir, itā€™s kind of a funny story,ā€ said Lamont shifting in his chair and looking at the floor. ā€œDo you remember a few administrations back, one of your predecessors was a bit, um, unstable?ā€
ā€œUnstable? He was a complete loon. When they carried him out of here he was talking to the wallpaper.ā€
ā€œExactly sir, well we decided that with his habit of getting mad at people, and lashing out at them, that it might not be a good idea to have the nuclear codes within arms reach, so we took them out of the football.ā€
ā€œOk, that makes sense. But where did you put them?ā€
Lamont shifted uncomfortably, ā€œWe donā€™t know sir.ā€
ā€œHow could you not know?ā€
ā€œWell we know approximately. We know about where they are sir.ā€
ā€œHow approximately?ā€™
ā€œThey are either in Kansas or Nebraska.ā€
ā€œKansas or Nebraska?ā€ said the President in astonishment. ā€œThatā€™s a hell of a lot of territory. Canā€™t you narrow it down any more than that?ā€.ā€
ā€œWell, we do know they were put in a mailbox.ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean in a mailbox?ā€
ā€œWe wanted to put them in the last place somebody looking for the nuclear codes would think to look. In that light, a rural mailbox made the most sense.ā€
ā€œA mailbox?ā€™
ā€œYes sir.ā€
ā€œYou mean, on a post, with a door in front, and little flag you put up?ā€
ā€œYes sir.ā€
ā€œThis is unbelievable,ā€ said the President to himself. ā€œThe codes to launch our nuclear missiles are sitting unsecured in a mailbox somewhere in Kansas OR Nebraska?ā€ A vein was beginning to pulse on his forehead.
ā€œNo sir they are not unsecured.ā€œ Lamont looked up at the President. ā€œI was adamant about there needing to be tight security on the box. There is an electronic lock on the side, with a keypad. Only someone with the code can get in.ā€
ā€œOr any kid with a baseball bat, did you ever think about that?ā€
Lamont was crestfallen and stared at his shoes, ā€œOh, uh, w-well, no sir, in-in hindsight I guess that should have occurred to us.ā€
ā€œAnd anyway how could you lose track of where this mailbox was?ā€
ā€œWell sir, you see after the attacks of 9/11 things were a bit disorganized around here. People got transferred, documentation was never completed. It turned out the people who knew the location of the mailbox all ended up getting sent to Iraq and Afghanistan.ā€
ā€œWell get them back,ā€ bellowed the President.
ā€œThey are all dead, sir.ā€
The President looked at Lamont in astonishment. Suddenly he sat up straight.
ā€œWait, wait, 9/11 and president nutcase was twenty years ago. You mean to tell me that for two decades this country hasnā€™t had a nuclear deterrent.ā€
ā€œOh no sir. We have a deterrent. No one knows that we just canā€™t actually use it.ā€
ā€œBut anyone who found those codes could?ā€
ā€œNo sir. We were worried about that so just after we lost the codes we quietly pulled all of our nuclear devices back and put them in secure locations.ā€
ā€œWhat are the bombers and missiles carrying then?ā€
ā€œConcrete dummy warheads, theyā€™re perfectly safe in case of accidental launch, sir.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t want our nuclear deterrent to be perfectly safe,ā€ said the President sarcastically. ā€œI want them to go boom when I need them too.ā€
ā€œYes sir.ā€
ā€œYou mean to tell me if there had been a nuclear exchange all we could have done was throw rocks at the other guys?ā€
ā€œWell sir,ā€ Lamont stumbled for a bit, ā€œthatā€™s a bit harsh, but I suppose thatā€™s one way of looking at it, sir. Thatā€™s why your predecessors were always so bellicose, so no other country would challenge us.ā€
ā€œWell, effective immediately I want those warheads pulled out of storage and made ready for use. Weā€™ll figure out how to activate them.ā€
Lamont paused for a bit, ā€œWe canā€™t do that sir,ā€ he said quietly.
ā€œWhy the hell not?ā€
ā€œWe uh, we-we donā€™t actually know where they are either.ā€
ā€œWhat?!?ā€ The president was now approaching the colour of the carpet, and two veins were bulging on his forehead.
ā€œYou see sir, after the transfer was completed, there was a fire at our documents storage facility in Langley Virginia. It wasnā€™t a big fire, but it destroyed the documentation for the transfer, where all the devices went.ā€
ā€œWell somebody must know where in the hell they are.ā€
ā€œThe person who completed all of the authorization paperwork, uh he quit. Became a monk sir.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t care if heā€™s the goddamned Pope. Get out there and ask him where in the hell the warheads went.ā€
ā€œIā€™m sorry sir, but it wonā€™t do any good sir.ā€
ā€œWhy not?ā€ The president was now nearly apoplectic.
ā€œVow of silence sir. He has not talked or written anything at all in fifteen years. We do go out there once a year to see if heā€™s changed his mind, but so far no luck, sir.ā€
ā€œI donā€™t believe this. Canā€™t you just start asking the various depots? ā€œHey did you get a bunch of megaton nuclear devices?ā€ Youā€™d think somebody would have noticed them arriving.ā€
ā€œWell sir, of course we didnā€™t tell the people in the depots,ā€ Lamont was somewhat indignant. ā€œWe always use false packing lists and bills of lading, even the labels on the crates are false. The people at the depots are not cleared for that level of information. To tell them would risk it leaking and the devices getting stolen. We always use fictitious documents for nuclear devices. For security reasons, you understand, sir.ā€
ā€œCanā€™t you search the depots? They shouldnā€™t be that hard to find.ā€
ā€œWe have tried, sir, but these depots are very large, some have square miles of warehouse space with multiple floors. They contain millions of crates, all of which would need to be opened. In that context the warheads arenā€™t really that noticeable.ā€
The President slumped back in his chair, he was shocked, and frustrated. Finally he asked sarcastically, ā€œWe do have a conventional military force still, donā€™t we?ā€
ā€œOh yes sir, fleets of ships, bombers, soldiers, tanks, we have those.ā€
ā€œWell, thatā€™s a relief.ā€
ā€œI mean, sort ofā€¦ā€

what are your honest thought about your museā€™s canon? [all your dr canons :3 ]
the source!! (accepting!!)
all of my dr canons???? holy shit here we go
starting with our favorite ultimate musician ibuki: first off???? we all know how i feel about ibuki. sheā€™s my absolute favorite sdr2 character, and iā€™m about 99.9% sure sheā€™s my favorite danganronpa character overall. but of course, i have a few criticisms. not about her specifically, i donā€™t think, i think sheā€™s fine, but like... how the game handled her??? okay so iā€™ve seen a lot of criticism online about her (and this is probably my own fault for going to the danganronpa subreddit), saying that sheā€™s annoying, she adds nothing to the story, thereā€™s no reason for her existence, etc. and honestly that isnā€™t a problem thatā€™s specific to ibuki. itā€™s made pretty clear if you really look at it that she only exists to end up dead, which i think is a real problem with the writing of the series overall. and since all my muses end up dead in some form here, thatā€™s a common criticism that iā€™m going to point out right here right now and never again in this post. but ibuki herself suffers from that sheā€™s incredibly surface-level with only a deeper side underneath if you choose to pursue it. and like. obviously iā€™m not asking for her to be the deepest character in the lore, thatā€™s not what she is, and obviously sheā€™s... not written to be the smartest character at all, but i wish they had done her a little differently, and not hidden all her insightfulness in free time events. because. sheā€™s smart. she doesnā€™t see herself as smart, but she is. and i wish theyā€™d shown that more. and honestly??? you are telling me that she is the ultimate musician, yet nobody in her class likes her music?! that many people in there and not a single soul actually likes it??? chunsoft youā€™re fuckinā€™ playing with me here and i donā€™t like it. come on. make up your damn minds. ffs.
also whyā€™d she have to die thatā€™s some bullshit. she was cool af and iā€™m still salt about it.Ā 
this is going to get long and ridiculous bc i have so many of them so iā€™m hiding the rest under a cut.
next up is sakura!!! i actually think sakura was done quite well, honestly. granted, it was the first game, so i donā€™t think any of us saw the twist with her coming, but it was done really well! and her eventual death definitely suited her character. i never thought sheā€™d be one to kill anyone, and i was glad that i was proven right, even though i was really upset with her death (just like i was with just about every other one lmao). from a meta standpoint, i really like how they took the tough-girl-who-even-looks-ā€manlyā€ thing and sorta turned it on its head a bit (like, iā€™m not going to lie, i legit thought she was a guy at first who just happened to be wearing a girlā€™s school uniform and i think just about everyone does). her relationship with hina that built over the course of the game was something that was needed for her, imo, as it helps us as players sort of humanize her a bit and not just see her as this massive devastating block of muscle. i like how they managed to portray that even if sheā€™s stoic as fuck on the outside, she really cares about everyone in her class, and thatā€™s just shown by her death itself. they even managed to convey a sort of degree of softness with her, as shown by her relationship with hina and how hina was just about the only one that wasnā€™t initially scared shitless of her. idk man dr1 really did its characterization really well for danganronpa and they never really got that right again, did they? itā€™s a shame, really.
next up is our favorite bitch. junko enoshima. dear. god. i love her so much, and i love to hate her so much. the way she acts, the way she uses mukuro for her own gain, the way she switches personalities on the drop of a hat, the way she pretty much thought all this shit up on her own (with mukuro as well iā€™m assuming but letā€™s be real here it was honestly all her)... sheā€™s a fucking unapologetic bastard and we love her for it. honestly i always look forward to playing a danganronpa game i havenā€™t already played because iā€™m dying to see how theyā€™re shoehorning her in. because. itā€™s not dr without her. iā€™m sorry. itā€™s just not. sometimes villains are villains just because. they donā€™t have to have a deep backstory as to why theyā€™re the way they are, and junko is a wonderful example of that. i love her. iā€™m biased. i love her sm.
next is miu. oh, dear, sweet miu. sheā€™s the fanservicey character who makes things sometimes. thatā€™s it. thereā€™s one of these in every game. and you know what? having a fanservicey character is fine. to me, anyway. you do you, guys. but honestly i find miu kind of insulting in a way. no, not because sheā€™s vulgar as fuck; guys, i am vulgar as fuck, especially after having a couple drinks, okay, i can sympathize in a way with her. no, what iā€™m insulted by is that they had the audacity to make her the ultimate inventor, and then fuckinā€™ reduce her to swearing, sex jokes, and vulgarity. like. inventors are smart as fuck. ya kinda need to be in order to invent things, right? especially doing it as consistently as she does. i mean, fuck, she provided whole things for the plot, for fuckā€™s sake. and they still reduce her to a dumb blonde whoā€™s obsessed with kiibo and sexual innuendos. come on. do better. letā€™s go. she can still keep her vulgar tendencies, just.... god, i donā€™t even know how to fix her, but i hate her characterization even though overall i still like her quite a lot. learn to write women, you fucks; how did you get it more right in dr1 than in v3. and weā€™re not gonna even talk about the canonical ending because i see that differently than most people and it has nothing to do with what iā€™m talking about, which is what we see in 95% of the game.Ā 
next: our favorite bug boy gonta. it should be no secret that i love gonta. i love him. so much. the only character that is second to my love for gonta is korekiyo. i love korekiyo so much too. but this isnā€™t about him. itā€™s about gonta. again, we are bending the trope of big-character-is-terrifying and i really appreciate that in gontaā€™s case. like with sakura. ahaha. what can i say, iā€™m really weak for that sort of thing, i guess. but he suffers from the same shallowness that miu and even ibuki does. they tried to give him some more depth, but i donā€™t think it really worked. and like. come on. a guy who was raised by wolves for years and doesnā€™t really know how to interact with people now being in a killing game with a bunch of them???? shit, thereā€™s so much you can do with that!! but no. we didnā€™t go there. much like we didnā€™t go there for everyone who wasnā€™t shuichi, kaito, maki, or kokichi. (ok shuichi gets a pass but you know.) idk man itā€™s probably because i didnā€™t do everyoneā€™s free time events because thereā€™s literally no way to do so, but iā€™m kind of salty about how v3 just treated its characters. all of them have potential. it just wasnā€™t reached. at all. unless it was the main four. they all deserve better.Ā 
lastly, we have mikan. and boy. do i have a lot to say about mikan. so, going into this, i want to say that i am an abuse victim. there, itā€™s out in the open. so, knowing that... some stuff about her makes sense. especially when you consider that she, too, is an abuse victim. and others. just. do not. she deserved better. she deserved so much better. and what made me the most incensed about this is her goddamn anniversary outfit. they only saw and used mikan as fanservice. why would you use an abuse victim as fucking fanservice iā€™m gonna fuckinā€™ riot. like. sheā€™s traumatized as fuck. her despair disease shit makes a lot of sense, donā€™t get me wrong. itā€™s suitable for her that things happened the way they did with that. but for fuckā€™s sake. ā€œoh haha look at that mikan fell again, face down ass up thatā€™s the way she likes to--ā€ stop. she deserves better. iā€™m mad about it. itā€™s not funny. stop doing mikan so fuckinā€™ dirty, you assholes. iā€™m taking her and iā€™m making her better. so fuck you.
anyway thatā€™s it :3 iā€™m sorry this turned out to be so long aslkdjfal. i hope i answered the question sufficiently enough :333

ALL 36 BARBIE MOVIES RANKED... WHY DID WE DO THIS
Please............. for the love of god view this list. Help us. We worked so fucking hard... and for what?
My roommate/best friend and I (Ā @kar-queen ) decided to watch ALL 36 BARBIE MOVIES and then rank them from worst to best. This adventure was inspired by the YouTube video by caitlovesdisney where she also ranked every single Barbie movie.Ā However, we wanted to do our own list since some of her choices didnā€™t reflect what we thought. Her list was still so awesome and I respect anyone who decides to watch all these Barbie movies. We did this because of sheer curiosity and for the sake of very scientific research.Ā 
We thought it would be fun at first. We really did. And it was? Kind of? Just, Jesus Christ. We can no longer see pink. I have night terrors about Barbieā€™s ugly ass animal friends. It truly was An Experience and has left us feeling dazed and like we never want to rank things ever again. We werenā€™t planning on posting a written out ranking of these movies anywhere (since we were just doing it for fun between us) but we wanted some physical evidence of our labor since this whole experience took 50 years off our lives.Ā 
Under READMORE we will rank the 36 Barbie movies from WORST TO BEST (36 to 1). HOWEVER, THEREā€™S A TWIST. We are ALSO ranking them based on how GAY they were (and trust me, it yielded more results than you would originally think). That way we could both get through these movies by spicing things up a little bit. Hit readmore if youā€™re not a coward.
DISCLAIMER: Barbie is a staple for kids and overall teaches them that anyone (though more specifically girls/women) can do/be anything, which is extremely admirable. We have no issues with Barbie as a role model for kids and this list is all in good fun. However, we are going to point out things that either frustrated us or seemed downright harmful for kids to watch and take after. Clearly Mattel/Barbie has taken great and necessary steps to be more inclusive and progressive, especially in recent years compared to their older movies.Ā 
ANOTHER MILD DISCLAIMER: In some of these movies Barbieā€™s character is not named Barbie, but weā€™re just going to call every main girl Barbie to keep things simple and easy. Just a warning.Ā 
ANOTHER ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: This is going to be long since there are 36 movies. Even if you read all of this you will only feel a fraction of our pain.Ā 
WITH THAT, LETā€™S START WITH SOME HOT GARBAGE. LETā€™S GO GAMERS.Ā 
36. BARBIE IN PRINCESS POWER (2015)
Tumblr media
Starting out with at the fucking bottom lads. My roommate and I were foaming at the fucking mouth watching this movie. Itā€™s so hard to explain why this one pissed us off so much because it was nearly every single goddamn aspect of it. Hereā€™s some bullet points to make this go by quickly and painlessly.Ā 
- Sheā€™s a princess but then she ALSO gets super powers??? So sheā€™s already extremely privileged, rich, and lives a comfortable lifestyle, but then she gets powers when A MAGICAL FAIRY BUTTERFLY KISSES HER CHEEK? LIKE LITERALLY JUST KISSES HER CHEEK AND BOOM SHE HAS POWERS.Ā 
Tumblr media
- Her powers are really fucking boring. All she has is super strength and she can fly.Ā 
- She treats her best friends/side kicks like shit??? These poor girls (neither rich nor princesses) dote on this fucking girl and do everything for her behind the scenes while she sucks at being a super hero. Itā€™s really infuriating.Ā 
Tumblr media
- Thereā€™s a side plot where she lets the fame get to her head. So, she starts snapping at everyone around her and just being overall a total bitch? Also her sister gets powers too and they like, fight over this said attention. Stupid.Ā 
- At the end of the movie she apologizes to her sister, but never to her friends or the other people she walked all over? Absolutely infuriating. We donā€™t know how else to describe this film. Barbie was so rude and unaware of the kind of privilege she had and acted spoiled the entire time, which is why itā€™s ranked at the complete bottom.Ā 
- Also there was a romantic interest, I think????? He was a reporter? Donā€™t remember his name. Doesnā€™t matter. They didnā€™t get together. Also the fashion and colors in this movie are horrendous. Like cā€™mon guys.Ā 
Oh also how could we forget. GAYNESS RANK: Not gay at all. So aggressively heterosexual.
Also: We know that Barbie is usually a princess in all of these movies and usually we donā€™t really care, but this one was especially bad when it came to her acting so fucking privileged. I swear weā€™re not insane this one was just so bad when it came to that.Ā 
35. BARBIE AND THE SECRET DOOR (2014)
Tumblr media
This one isnā€™t going to be as long or intense as Princess Power (which literally had so much wrong with it that we barely covered any of it). This one was just so offensively ugly. And boring. And stupid. I hated it so much.Ā 
This is also another one where sheā€™s a princess and she whines about how her life is so hard?Ā 
In the beginning, she talks about how all she does is lay around all day and read books, and then later sings a song about how she wishes she could lay around all day and read books? Like, we stan a bookworm queen, but she acts so ungrateful for her lifestyles and then never mentions liking to read again when the main adventure of the movie starts. Just overall dumb and boring.Ā 
Also this is so fucking ugly. Did we mention that this movie is ugly?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I donā€™t know who approved of these backgrounds and colors but theyā€™re just so hideous like it literally gives me a headache.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: Pretty heterosexual. Barbie doesnā€™t have a love interest which is kind of nice and the two girls she meets are cute friends, but not enough to be noteworthy when it comes to gay.Ā 
34. BARBIE A PERFECT CHRISTMAS (2011)
Tumblr media
For being centered around Christmas, this didnā€™t feel like a Christmas movie at all. It tried to follow the typical plot ofĀ ā€œWe had a great Christmas planned but then oh no! So many things went wrong! But in the end all that matters is that youā€™re with your family and thatā€™s what Christmas is all about :)ā€ but they somehow managed to fuck that up? This movie is so mean? Barbieā€™s sisters are awful to each other, and lash out multiple times, especially at the youngest sister. Even if they tried to make up at the end the whole film felt very mean-spirited for a Christmas movie.Ā 
The message about family was lost when they were more concerned with streaming a band performance rather than spending time with each other. It just was not great overall and left a very sour taste in our mouths. Would not recommend to show a kid around Christmas.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: Not gay at all. Pretty heterosexual. Skipper (the brunette) kind of had this weird thing with her girl friend that lived in New York but it didnā€™t really go anywhere. Her friend was never shown on screen, anyway.Ā 
Also the movies really fucking ugly. Weā€™re not even going to mention the horrendous pink Christmas trees. Youā€™re welcome.Ā 
Tumblr media
33. BARBIE MAGIC OF THE RAINBOW (2007) (also known as Fairytopia 3)
Tumblr media
Being the 3rd movie in the Fairytopia series, itā€™s by far the worst. The portrayal of Barbie/the main character was very obnoxious and careless. She was automatically good at everything she did on the first try and it was honestly so unrealistic and didnā€™t teach a great message at all.Ā 
It also just, like, had these fairies attend school? To strengthen their powers, I guess? It wasnā€™t really explained. Barbie was very mean to a another fairy and even if they made up at the end it didnā€™t feel genuine. I think they were just trying to milk this Fairytopia series for everything it was worth and Iā€™m glad it stopped after this one.Ā 
Her bf in this one wasnā€™t bad, though, he was pretty sweet. He could talk to animals which was charming.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: Mid-tier. Even though she fought with the one fairy they had a pretty intense rivalry thing going on, which was pretty gay. Even though she had a bf they kind of barely interacted since Barbie was so engrossed with the other fairy. A few gay points I guess. Though those few gay points get taken away when her annoying fluff ball Bibble gets an ugly fluff ball girlfriend. Stupid.
Tumblr media
32. BARBIE IN A MERMAID TALE (2010)
Tumblr media
Okay, like... I barely watched this one so my roommate took the fall. So, Iā€™m going to quote them for this:Ā ā€œThis one was just written badly, objectively. The pacing was horrendous. The story was very contrived. *long pause*....... Thatā€™s all.ā€Ā 
Yeah I donā€™t have much to say about this one either. I remember Barbie being bitchy towards her friends and her guardian. When a magic dolphin asks her to help sheā€™s just likeĀ ā€œno, fuck youā€ for literally no reason at all? She surfs but itā€™s not even that cool, so... wasted potential.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Thereā€™s not nothing? Some potential. Her surfing buddies hang around and she hangs out with her mermaid friends as well. Other than that, though... :( (I promise there will be Barbie movies that are gay just wait)Ā 
31. BARBIE AND HER SISTERS IN A PUPPY CHASE (2016)
Tumblr media
This movie... is so strange. We hated it so much, but it was also kind of ironically hilarious??? This is the second movie in theĀ ā€œBarbie and her Sisters + Puppiesā€ series (which are terrible) but this one was special in how awful it was.Ā 
Barbie is SUCH AN IRRESPONSIBLE SISTER. So they go on vacation to some tropical island and Barbieā€™s youngest sister has a dance recital to practice for, but Barbie just straight up tells her to not practice?? LIKE??? BARBIE?!
They also end up fucking deserted on this island. Everything you can think of goes wrong for them. Itā€™s honestly incredible. At one point theyā€™re stranded outside in the rain only eating granola bars by a fire. Barbie tries to cheer them up by playing this STUPID game calledĀ ā€œimagine ifā€ where they just name things that they wish would happen???Ā 
Oh and at the end Barbies sister ends up winning her dance recital when her whole family and an entire entourage of animals dance with her on stage. Cause, like, yeah, thatā€™s totally fucking fair to the other contestants.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: All of these Puppy movies are absolutely not gay at all bc itā€™s literally just Barbie and her sisters with some puppies. Donā€™t expect too much.Ā Ā 
30. BARBIE AND HER SISTERS IN THE GREAT PUPPY ADVENTURE (2015)
Tumblr media
This is the first movie in the Sisters + Puppies series and itā€™s pretty much just as bad as the other one, but at least Puppy Chase was funny. This one is really boring. Also forgot to mention that the puppies talk. Itā€™s very annoying and absolutely ruins the movies.Ā 
This movie on the surface kind of has a charming premise where they all go on vacation to the countryside/the midwest and experience a lot of small town things, and yet it doesnā€™t feel very genuine? As someone from the midwest I can confirm.Ā 
Barbie and her sisters go on this treasure hunt that apparently their grandfather died trying to solve, and yet they manage to solve it within a couple days? caitlovesdisney explains it pretty well in her video if you wanna hear more about Puppy Adventure. I know youā€™re just dying to know more about Puppy Adventure.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Barbie at one point talks to another woman who isnā€™t one of her sisters. Super exciting stuff.Ā 
29. BARBIE THE PRINCESS AND THE POPSTAR (2012)Ā 
Tumblr media
Okaaaaay, like....... this one made us really. really. mad.Ā 
So weā€™ve already mentioned how Barbie acts super privileged in some of these movies, but this is the one that made us notice it. The basic premise is that thereā€™s a princess (Barbie) and a popstar (Who Cares) and they want to switch lives.Ā 
But the thing is they already live amazing lives? So the other Barbie film that this one borrows from (The Princess and the Pauper) loses its meaning and drama? Instead of a rich girl and poor girl trading lives, itā€™s just two rich girls switching lives.Ā 
ALSO! Thereā€™s this side plot where, within the castle, they have this tree that can GROW DIAMONDS? AND THATā€™S THE SOURCE OF THE KINGDOMā€™S WEALTH? AND YET, LATER IN THE MOVIE, THERE ARE POOR PEOPLE LIVING IN POVERTY. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DIAMOND TREE FOR?????
The only saving grace for this movie was that Barbie and the popstar were extremely gay. Like, having posters and pictures of each other in their rooms, gazing at each other dreamily from balconies, and subtly being very touchy-feely every time theyā€™re together in person. Thatā€™s pretty much the only reason why itā€™s a bit higher than some of the others.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: One of the gayest ones. There are so many side glances and yearning. Shoulder touches and all that. We totally shipped these two by the end. In a different universe, in a better movie... these two could have been super cute together.Ā 
Tumblr media
28. BARBIE THE PEARL PRINCESS (2014)
Tumblr media
Not much to say about this one. I hated it a lot more than my roommate did and Iā€™m the one typing this all out sooooo I get the final say. I hate this movie so much. Barbie, once again, acted really privileged and was super unlikable. At one point she gets a job at a hair salon, which is kinda nice I guess? But then sheā€™s automatically good at it without even trying? So... fuck off.Ā 
Also thereā€™s a seahorse with hair and it looked so ugly that I constantly wanted to cry. Please free me from the sleep paralysis demons that are the Barbie animal sidekicks.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Nothing to report. The couple girls Barbie hangs out with were barely in the movie so there were no vibes. Sad.Ā 
27. BARBIE IN ROCK N ROYALS (2015)
Tumblr media
Weā€™re getting to the mid-tier Barbie movies that we donā€™t have much to say about. My roommate and I just found the concept of this one to be really dumb?Ā 
The outfits were very ugly and the singers were really bad. But there was a main character who was a black girl, which was really nice to see! They also went a little more punk than the typical frilly stuff which was nice to see. Not the worst but still ranked pretty low cause of the dumb premise and just being pretty boring overall.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: This one was decently gay, pretty mid-tier. Barbie had a great potential romance with the other main girl and the way they interacted was very sweet and cute. They both had male love interests but nothing really came of it which is kinda funny. Not too much going on but enough to get a mention.Ā 
26. BARBIE PRINCESS CHARM SCHOOL (2011)
Tumblr media
This was SO FRUSTRATING because it started out STRONG, but then crashed and burned really quickly.Ā 
The movie starts out with Barbie working her ass off at a little diner to make ends meet at home. We see how her guardian canā€™t work and that she has a little sister and a home to support. It was really charming to see Barbie hustling to make money and felt so much more down-to-Earth than a lot of the other Barbie movies where sheā€™s a princess and has everything she wants.Ā 
Long story short, she wins this drawing to be enrolled in this Princess Charm School where you can learn to be royalty. In the end she finds out that she was the lost princess all along and then everything that was mentioned at the beginning is completely abandoned once this is found out. Just... super disappointing how a relatable Barbie depiction ends up being a princess all along :/
Also the fashion in this movie was super disappointing. They somehow managed to make preppy school girl outfits look bad. Sad.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: This oneā€™s pretty much on the same level as Rock n Royals. There was some potential with Barbie and her friends but not much else. Next.Ā 
25. BARBIE IN A MERMAID TALE 2 (2012)
Tumblr media
Absolutely nothing to report. Thereā€™s some more surfing action in this one compared to the first one which is really nice.Ā 
Imma be real with u chief... I barely remember what happens. She meets an Australian girl? She gets tricked by a French fish into transforming into a mermaid? Villain from the first movie comes back... Australian girl gets caught in a whirlpool... They save the day.Ā 
Thereā€™s a pretty shitty part where the Australian girl wins the surfing competition but Barbie still somehow gets all the reportersā€™ attention and gets a sponsorship. It was sad and tbh we didnā€™t like that part.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Gayer than most. Her and this girl have a rivalry which is pretty cute. They playfully tease each other while surfing all the time and tbh I could totally ship it. The Australian girlā€™s pretty spunky which is refreshing. Too bad her Australian accent was so obviously fake it was distracting.Ā 
24. BARBIE FAIRYTOPIA (2005)
Tumblr media
This one gets the award for the most boring Barbie movie. We both could not even try to bring ourselves to pay attention to this one, even if my roommate was nostalgic for it. Bibble was a highlight just cause we made fun of him the whole time but it was a short-lived high. Thatā€™s all. Hereā€™s a creepy picture we found of the main character.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Barbie doesnā€™t have a love interest at all, which is like, a point... She hangs out with the blue fairy and theyā€™re kinda cute. Not much else, though.Ā 
23. BARBIE FAIRYTOPIA: MERMAIDIA (2006)
Tumblr media
My roommate is really nostalgic for this one since they grew up with it, and yet they found it hard to pay attention at all. As did I. It was pretty boring. About a week went by after we watched this one and my roommate was trying to talk about it but I literally did not remember watching it until they showed me a picture of the ugly ass snail with huge lips and it jump scared me. You had to be there I guess.Ā 
They were mermaids... Bibble was there... typical Barbie shit. This image pretty much perfectly describes how enthralling it was to watch this.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Barbie and the blue mermaid are a little gay. The love interest was pretty funny and cute. He did have a thing for the blue mermaid so a couple gay points get deducted.Ā 
22. BARBIE THE 12 DANCING PRINCESSES (2006)Ā 
Tumblr media
We know this oneā€™s a classic, but we just found it to be very boring? I know this seems like a trend but we swear that we didnā€™t think all the Barbie movies are boring, itā€™s just the middle of the list. The dancing in this one was kind of nice and there was an interesting subplot where this lady was slowly poisoning their dad.Ā 
The only thing that seemed silly was when they would stow away to the magical island... Like, why? The lady banned dancing but they could have just danced in their rooms. No one ever went in to check on them or they would have noticed they were gone anyway. So what the hell.Ā 
Also Barbie and all of her other sisters looked exactly the same and it was hard to tell them apart. The love interest was pretty cute, though.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Nothing, absolutely zippo. Theyā€™re all sisters and she had a nice romance with the guy so.Ā 
21. BARBIE AND THE DIAMOND CASTLE (2008)
Tumblr media
Gonna get this out of the way: There is basically nothing to report when it comes to the plot of this movie. Evil force upon the land. A villain. Animal sidekicks. Love interest/Ken whoā€™s barely in the movie. Barbie defeats the evil and gets a new dress. THE END. BUT THATā€™S NOT WHAT WEā€™RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT.
THIS MOVIE... IS SO GAY?
This was at the top of our gay Barbie list literally the entire time (until it was dethroned, but weā€™ll get to that later). This story LITERALLY revolves around Barbie and herĀ ā€œfriendā€ who: live together in the same house, write songs together, dream about living in a mansion together, garden together, sing while gardening together... LIKE?? Holy shit, lesbian goals.Ā 
At one point in the film they find two heart shaped rocks in the river and make them into necklaces, which they both wear to solidify theirĀ ā€œfriendshipā€. We are not making this up. This entire movie was comprised of us looking incredulously at each other every time they stared longingly at one another or mentioned how much they need each other. Evidence:
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANKING: Not gonna say it again. Top-tier gay. However, amazingly, not the gayest. Weā€™ll get into that later. Regardless, we stan two beautiful lesbians living in the woods together where all they do is wear heart-shaped necklaces and sing songs about being rich one day. Amazing.
20. THUMBELINA (2009)
Tumblr media
A Barbie movie with an environmental message, which is fine, I guess... Overall we just kinda found this movie annoying, but still a little bit better than other ones that were either insulting or just downright boring. Ferngully for babies?Ā 
I... Wish I could say more. Iā€™m sorry. Itā€™s fine if you were going to show it to a kid, I guess. We also thought this one was kinda ugly as well.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK:Ā There are the two friends and we got no vibes. Absolutely zippo. Next.Ā 
19. BARBIE MARIPOSA AND HER BUTTERFLY FAIRY FRIENDS (2008)
Tumblr media
Another one where we just donā€™t have much to say? Weā€™re now entering theĀ ā€œfineā€ category. I wouldnā€™t be really mad if someone made me rewatch it, but I wouldnā€™t be happy with it either.Ā 
Barbie is also a bookworm in this one, but itā€™s done a lot better than Secret Door. Itā€™s kind of nice how sheā€™s considered an outcast in this one and has to work through that. Her love interest (Carlos, we remembered his name!) was funny and brought life to the movie. Overall pretty okay!
The bunny sidekick was kind of ugly, though. Canā€™t win in every category.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Has some promising potential, but doesnā€™t really deliver. Disappointing but not awful.Ā 
18. BARBIE MARIPOSA AND THE FAIRY PRINCESS (2013)
Tumblr media
This one is a lot better than the first! Surprisingly, this movie deals racism in a way that is easily digestible for children while also not making light of the issue. Itā€™s not perfect, but we found it to do its job pretty well.Ā 
It centers around Barbie meeting a princess (Barbie isnā€™t a princess for once, yay!) and while the two want to be friends, the princess is a crystal wing fairy and Barbie is a butterfly wing fairy, so the princesses father objects to them being friends.Ā 
Also great time to mention that this was the second gayest Barbie movie for many many many reasons. And trust us, topping Diamond Castle is no easy feat.Ā 
First of all, there are SEVERAL scenes where the crystal fairy princess is completely disinterested in whatā€™s going on but, as soon as Barbie walks in, she gets really excited and gives her her full attention. Itā€™s EXTREMELY cute.Ā 
Second, thereā€™s a Beauty and the Beast esque scene where the crystal fairy gives Barbie an entire library of books, since she remembers that she loves books. They also proceed to bond over what kind of books they like and watching them geek out over that is adorable.Ā 
Third, they sneak off to a cave so that they can hang out without the crystal fairyā€™s father (the king) finding them. They then go to skip rocks on a lake and the ripples make rainbows. They also dance together at a ball, and there is just so much lingering eye contact and small touches. Theyā€™re cute and we ship.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: ALMOST top of the list. SUPER close. Not quite there, though. We werenā€™t expecting this one to be as gay as it was since it was a sequel movie, but thank god it was.Ā 
17. BARBIE VIDEO GAME HERO (2017)
Tumblr media
This... is a weird one? The basic plot is that Barbie is a programmer who makes video games. She gets sucked into a video game and they need her help to rid the game of viruses. Weā€™re really conflicted about this movie so this will benefit from some good ol fashioned bullet points.Ā 
- Itā€™s really cool that Barbieā€™s a programmer and likes to play video games, and sheā€™s not a princess! It was very nice and modern of them to include a story like this. Very refreshing after 30 or so Barbie movies that revolve around her being a princess.
- Thereā€™s a lot of side characters who join Barbie on her quest, but none of them are interesting or memorable...
- The art style changes betweenĀ ā€œlevelsā€, and while a cute idea, they donā€™t take advantage of it enough! There are only three art style changes in the whole movie, and two out of the three are really ugly.Ā 
- There is so much Just Dance product placement in this movie. Itā€™s cringe.Ā 
- The plot of this movie literally... makes no sense? They say that once Barbie wins the level, the viruses attacking that said level will be destroyed, but throughout the movie every time she wins they still donā€™t stop??? So thatā€™s why she had to have a bunch of characters follow her around so they wouldnā€™t get attacked by viruses? SO WHAT IS SHE WINNING THE LEVELS FOR?
- This movie was probably the most baby out of all of them. While thereā€™s nothing wrong with that, it was kind of a shock after we were watching all the other Barbie films, which are more targeted towards children to tweens. This one felt like it was for toddlers.Ā 
- Overall this movie wasnā€™t bad, just very strange. Would maybe recommend? Fine for your kid to watch if they want something casual and fun that involves a girl gamer. Gamers rise up.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: No gay vibes at all, which is not a total epic gamer moment. Probs because this movie was very very baby so the vibes were nonexistent. Too bad since Barbie met up with a lot of cute girls. Gaymer oppression never ends :(. Press F.
16. BARBIE DOLPHIN MAGIC (2017)
Tumblr media
We did it lads. We found The Gayest Barbie Movie that has Ever Existed.
Before we get to that, though, I hate to admit that this is one of the Barbieā€™s Sisters + Puppies movies, but itā€™s kind of hilarious because in this one they completely remove the puppies talking. I guess someone smartened up and realized that that was stupid and dumb. Thank god for them because it made the movie infinitely better.Ā 
Plot is simple: Barbie and her sisters are on vacation and while theyā€™re visiting the most boring man on Earth (Ken), an emerald dolphin gets trapped by an evil marine biologist who wants to sell the dolphin for money. Then a mermaid named Isla (yes we remember her name because sheā€™s incredible) goes to save the dolphin with the help of Barbie (with minimal contributions from the others).Ā 
I know we raved about how Fairy Princess was very gay, but just......... wow......... The difference between this and fairy princess is that Dolphin Magic literally has an entire scene dedicated to Barbie and Isla swimming together very closely with ethereal music, littered with cute giggling, lingering shoulder touches, and extended eye contact. Oh, also canā€™t forget the hand holding.
Tumblr media
Donā€™t forget about the necklaces they give each other so that they can stay connected with each other no matter where they are in the world. Thereā€™s even a scene at the end where Isla mentions how Barbie kept trying to contact her multiple times off-screen, only validating Barbies insane girl crush on Isla.Ā 
Tumblr media
This may or may not be photoshopped but tbh I donā€™t give a damn.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: The gayest Barbie movie. These two were so adorable throughout the entire movie and we couldnā€™t even get into everything that made it so charming. There were many scenes where Isla was learning how to act like a human that were so sweet and endearing. Great Barbie movie if youā€™re looking for something sweet with some obvious lesbians. Go team.Ā 
15. BARBIE NUTCRACKER (2001)
Tumblr media
We had a lot to say about Dolphin Magic since it was gay, but now weā€™re getting back into theĀ ā€œitā€™s fineā€ category with Nutcracker.Ā 
This movie is sweet and itā€™s pretty hard to fuck up a Nutcracker adaptation. There wasnā€™t a ton of ballet which was a little disappointing? They also didnā€™t play the whole soundtrack and stuck a lot of the good songs right at the end, which was odd. Our only real complaint was it kind of wasted its potential and it was slightly boring.Ā 
Other than that, itā€™s a sweet Christmas movie if anyone really likes Barbie and the Nutcracker. My roommate grew up on the Nutcracker so regardless it can be pretty nostalgic for some.Ā 
Also, Barbie is beautiful in this movie.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: There literally is not another female for Barbie to interact with in this movie. There were a couple guys who could have possibly given off vibes but we felt nothing so.Ā 
14. BARBIE A FASHION FAIRYTALE (2010)
Tumblr media
If thereā€™s anything to say about this one, itā€™s definitely... interesting.Ā 
So in this universe, Barbie is an actress, and she plays herself in a bunch of pre-existing Barbie movies (many of which that have already been mentioned on this list). Itā€™s extremely meta and a little confusing???
Barbie basically gets fired from her job, Ken dumps her, and she goes to find herself in Paris with her fashion designer aunt. The most interesting thing we can really say about this movie is describing the beginning, because that was the best part by far.Ā 
Itā€™s also revealed that Ken did not actually dump her, so thereā€™s a really charming side plot where Ken travels all the way from LA to Paris to sort it all out in person through a spontaneous act of romance.Ā 
Ken ABSOLUTELY makes this movie. We quote him a lot when weā€™re just hanging out in the apartment. He is so cute and funny and loves Barbie so much, itā€™s adorable. Absolutely worth the watch to see a true himbo in action.Ā 
Also, Ken and Barbie kiss at the end and weā€™re p sure this is the only movie where Barbie actually kisses any of her love interests. Fuck yeah.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Thereā€™s no gayness, but thatā€™s okay, because the romance between Barbie and Ken is adorable. I never want anything to get between these two :ā€™)
13. BARBIE IN A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2008)
Tumblr media
Not much more to say about this one other than itā€™s a Christmas Carol but with Barbie. It was interesting to see Barbie in aĀ ā€œScroogeā€ role where she has to relearn how to be caring and kind. It was pretty down to Earth and felt very Christmas-y and festive.Ā 
There was a very sweet plot of Barbie reconnecting with a girl she used to sing with as they were growing up. It was also interesting to see that while Barbie was growing up, her family would force her to practice singing rather than letting her go outside and live a normal life. This made Barbie feel a little more down-to-Earth.Ā 
Sorry, we donā€™t really know what else to say. Itā€™s fine. The cat is very ugly, though.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Thereā€™s a scene at the end, after Barbie reconnects with her friend, where sheā€™s holding her hands and giggling a lot. It was really cute to see them be friends and to be excited about the holidays together. A couple gay points were deducted since her friend did have a love interest, though.
12. BARBIE AND THE THREE MUSKETEERS (2009)
Tumblr media
Not gonna lie, this one was a little... disappointing? We were really excited for this one since itā€™s a lot of peopleā€™s favorite, and the concept of Barbie being a musketeer (and not a princess :)) is exciting and fresh.Ā 
The beginning of this movie was great!! Seeing Barbie practicing in the barn with her animals was just really sweet. She was wearing a cute outfit with pants a vest and the HAT.Ā 
Though, as it went on, it started to drop off for us. The reveal of the musketeers at the end was really underwhelming, and we thought the outfits were a let down compared to Barbieā€™s earlier outfit in the movie.Ā 
Other than those things, this movie was fun!! Watching all the girls be badass and learn how to fight with their unique weapons was awesome. Watching them team up was really satisfying. The prince guy was also pretty sweet. We would recommend watching this, esp if you remember it being your favorite.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Has a lot of gay energy!! There are a few scenes where people are outwardly sexist towards her and yet she strives to prove them wrong. When she meets the other girls, they are coached by this old lady who can kick ass. Even though it could have been gayer it was a good time.
11. BARBIE A FAIRY SECRET (2011)
Tumblr media
Some people may be mad that we put this above Three Musketeers... whoops.Ā 
Anyway this movie solely exists to give us more Amazing Ken content. This movie takes place in the same universe as Fashion Fairy Tale, so itā€™s the same Barbie and Ken from that movie.Ā 
Our only complaint is that they took the domestic feel of Fashion Fairy Tale and turned it into something that had so much unnecessary magic?? Though at the same time we got A Vibe from this movie that the creators just wanted to make something silly, and it worked.
Ken is HILARIOUS in this movie, even better than Fashion Fairy Tale. Even though everyone turns into a fairy, the wings that they give Ken are small and pink and he can barely fly with them. Itā€™s just so... funny? He also... mock-fights this other buff fairy guy?? Idk this movie is really hard to explain, sorry. We would definitely recommend this even if just for Ken.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Ken is a himbo so he automatically attracts the lesbian crowd. Thereā€™s also a plot with Barbie where she makes up with this girl who had been mean to her for the longest time, but itā€™s done in a way that just feels... really gay? Or at least the girl is kinda gay and Barbie doesnā€™t exactly realize (since sheā€™s in a committed relationship with Ken). This movie feels like it would be more appealing to gay people rather than being gay itself.
10. BARBIE AS THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER (2004)
Tumblr media
A lot of people are probably going to be surprised that this isnā€™t in our top 5, but we want to stress that this movie is good!! These top 10 Barbie movies are getting into the territory where we would absolutely recommend them because they are cute and fun, and this is exactly that!
The songs in this movie are great! However, we do have to be a little bitter towards it since this started the trend of musical Barbie movies, and many of them are shitty and bad compared to this.Ā 
The villain of this movie....... *chefs kiss* We also quote him constantly.Ā 
This is an example of a Barbie movie where sheā€™s a princess but itā€™s very endearing and done well. She rarely comes off as spoiled. Sheā€™s very smart and brave, and we see this through her actions rather than the movie just obnoxiously telling us that she is. Also the romance between the pauper and the king was very sweet.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: While this was a great set-up to be gay, it doesnā€™t follow through. Weā€™re not bitter about it, though, since their love interests were very sweet. Pretty straight of them to have their cats fall in love, though :/
9. BARBIE AS THE ISLAND PRINCESS (2007)
Tumblr media
When we first watched this one, we thought it was extremely boring and we were going to put it kind of low, but the more we thought about it we realized that it really did have a great plot.
They brought Barbie to civilization from her deserted island and people start getting sick, so theyā€™re blaming Barbie for bringing diseases when in reality itā€™s the villain using rats to poison peopleā€™s food. Also, it was so charming and interesting to see Barbieā€™s love interest want to be an adventurer, and he had so much more personality than a lot of other Barbie Princes. While heā€™s not on Kenā€™s level, he was so sweet.Ā 
All in all this one definitely had one of the tightest plots with great characters that really endears you to them. Itā€™s a little slow but def worth the watch.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: One of the least gay ones... Not mad though, the love interests were great. The peacock was kinda gay so... love wins.Ā 
8. BARBIE OF SWAN LAKE (2003)
Tumblr media
People will ALSO be surprised that this one is so low compared to other peopleā€™s Barbie movie lists. Please, trust us, weā€™re not crazy, itā€™s just... when youā€™ve watched 30+ other Barbie movies the initial charm of this kind of wears off. We both are very nostalgic for this movie and yet that couldnā€™t even bump it into the top 5.Ā 
A couple things we can praise: The toys were AMAZING, Barbieā€™s dress is BEAUTIFUL and ICONIC, the dancing and music were very gorgeous. The dancing in this movie was mocapped from real ballet dancers, so, very nice.
But... the forest animals were kind of annoying? Their outfits were kind of cute but they were still annoying? The villainā€™s daughterā€™s VOICE was just... HORRENDOUS. With the villain in Princess and the Pauper, the guyā€™s voice was comical but it didnā€™t completely take you out of the movie. This chick, however, was being so over dramatic that it wasnā€™t even ironically funny, it was very cringey... Just bad voice acting all around.Ā 
Also this movie was a lot more boring than we remember.Ā 
REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THAT, this is a CLASSIC Barbie movie and we would still recommend checking it out at least once (and rewatching if you havenā€™t seen it since you were a kid).Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Nothing gay to report. Next.
7. BARBIE IN THE PINK SHOES (2013)
Tumblr media
Another... strange one.Ā 
So Barbie is a ballet dancer about to do a performance and when her shoes break down, she goes into a store room and finds a pair of pink ballet shoes. When she puts them on, she and her friend are teleported into this alternate dimension??? Where all ballets ever are happening at the same time??? And sheā€™s the main lead for all of them?? At once?? And thereā€™s this ice queen villain who controls people by making them dance???????
This was the first Barbie movie we watched (we put them all in a wheel and let that decide our fate) and it sure did set the tone.Ā 
Plot doesnā€™t matter though, we need to talk about... Them. Only Pink Shoes fans will understand.Ā 
So, there are these two guys... and theyā€™re just like... really gay??? They inspired us to apply a gay ranking to these Barbie movies, if that tells you anything. One in a prince and the other is a commoner/hunter. There are so many scenes where it cuts away from Barbie to focus on these two playfully bantering with each other (enemies to lovers 100k slowburn)? The hunter guy teaches the other how to shoot a bow and arrow by touching him and guiding him into the right position? Thereā€™s also a scene where they meet back up with Barbie, but they only have two horses, so instead of Barbie riding with one of them they ride with each other and give her her own horse??? Respect women juice...
They also show up at the end just... together? (in real life not in the... Pink Shoes dimension) and itā€™s not explained what theyā€™re doing together or even what their relationship is (friendship or otherwise). It truly was bizarre.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: This was on top for quite awhile since it was the first movie we watched. Unfortunately de-throned by Diamond Castle when we got around to it, but we still STAN these himbos.Ā 
6. BARBIE AND HER SISTERS IN A PONY TALE (2013)
Tumblr media
I... okay hear us out...
This movie is bad. Like, objectively itā€™s very very bad. Itā€™s a baby movie, a Barbie and her sisters movie, itā€™s a horse girl movie, on top of everything... and yet...Ā 
We probably had the most fun watching this one, like, we were glued to the fucking screen. We cried laughing multiple times because it was just so charmingly bad.Ā 
Plot isnā€™t important, since my roommate and I keep forgetting what the real plot is. We only care about the British boys from the rivaling stable and how they just breeze in and out and run away on their horses laughing like frenchmen... even though theyā€™re British. One of them uncannily resembles Malfoy from hp and is a sidekick to the main guy, itā€™s a little weird.Ā 
There are also these two British kids and the girl is super weird? Like weird girl representation for real. Also thereā€™s this Phillipe guy who was so fucking funny to listen to. Hereā€™s Phillipe, youā€™re welcome.
Tumblr media
Fuck you Iā€™m not resizing the image.Ā 
Oh also Barbie finds a magic horse with a pink mane. Phillipe wants to like, kill her for it, I guess. Yeah.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: While super fucking funny, not a lot of gay. It makes up for it with the mere presence of Phillipe.Ā 
5. BARBIE AND THE MAGIC OF PEGASUS (2005)
Tumblr media
This and the next entry are both tied for 4th place since it was extremely hard to choose between the two. We were both nostalgic for this and the next entry, but we were also really excited to find out that both of these are great movies!
So me personally, I was a horse girl growing up, and I ADORED this movie. I didnā€™t think it would be so good upon rewatch, but it actually was! The plot was pretty tight, the villain was fun, it felt like a genuine fairytale, the characters were cute and fun, and Barbie was intelligent and resourceful!Ā 
Check this one out if you havenā€™t seen it, but now weā€™re going to talk about one of the best aspects of this movie, which is Barbieā€™s love interest.Ā 
Unlike every single other Barbie bf, the love interest in this one (named Aiden) was literally almost a better character than Barbie herself. For the first time EVER they decided to give a Barbie love interest a BACKSTORY. And, like, a GOOD backstory.Ā It made him feel like a real person and his story pulled at your heartstrings.Ā 
Also, him and Barbie do not automatically get along, and for a decent amount of time they have witty banter with one another. It really lets their characters shine through the movie and was SO refreshing.Ā 
We could rave about Aiden all day, but you guys should just go watch it for yourself, it really is worth it!
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Not gay at all, but fine since the romance is so great. Moving on!
4. BARBIE AS RAPUNZEL (2002)
Tumblr media
This movie is just... good. And not even good for a Barbie movie, itā€™s just a well-written movie overall! The plot was tight and remained interesting without being too complicated, either. Barbieā€™s animals were also pretty charming (even if the rabbit is ass ugly, but itā€™s 2002, they get a pass) and likable compared to other Barbie sidekicks. The dragon even has a little arc of her own??? Hell yeah.Ā 
Donā€™t really have to explain the plot, itā€™s Rapunzel. The only difference is that she has a magical paintbrush that can teleport her to places that she paints, which helps the story progress.Ā 
It also really did feel like Barbie was in mortal danger, which is so unlike every other Barbie movie. I was really glad to have grown up with this movie being my first exposure to Rapunzel, since I believe itā€™s a great introduction to her (and the toys were awesome, lol). This was another movie where Barbie being a princess was really great and charming since it felt earned since she went through hard times.Ā 
Okay, like, we literally cannot go any further without mentioning something, stay with us...
In the movie, thereā€™s, like, this weasel/ferret thing that belongs to the villain. Heā€™s basically an animal villain, or whatever.Ā 
I donā€™t really know how else to say this other than thereā€™s this scene where he asks the villain to give him the rabbit and he outright just... moans????? The voice actor just... lets it out. It literally sounds like heā€™s getting a hand job in the recording booth in the middle of the line and just lets it all out and they kept that shit in, and then animated it????Ā 
We really wish we could include a video exclusively of that scene, but the best we can do is just link the video and give you a time stamp (37:49). PLEASE watch it. We have been quoting it every single day since we watched the damn movie.
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: No gay. Nothing to report. Barren. Probably the least gay.Ā 
3. BARBIE SPY SQUAD (2016)
Tumblr media
All due respect to the original queen caitlovesdisney, but like, sheā€™s wrong about Spy Squad. Listen.Ā 
This movie was SO MUCH FUN. We were literally just glued to the screen and having a great time watching these three girls chase after this cute af phantom thief chick??? They had tons of cops-and-robbers dialogue with her and it was just... FUN. Almost like a thriller, tbh.Ā 
caitlovesdisney did make a great point in her video when she mentioned that they were actually pretty bad at being spies, and we can totally see why this would be super frustrating to people if they were watch. However, my roommate and I didnā€™t mind? We thought it was charming that they werenā€™t automatically great at something and that they had to practice a ton to get better. So much more refreshing compared to other Barbie stories.Ā 
Tumblr media
The elephant in the room, though... we have to talk about Lazlo.Ā 
Barbieā€™s friend (Theresa) has the cutest fucking romance with the boy who builds all their spy equipment throughout the movie. Theyā€™re both really nerdy, but they donā€™t shove it down your throat and act annoying about it? It literally just comes up in casual conversation between the two of them and they just have fun talking about things they like. It was so fucking cute and it made the movie that much better.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: This movie is REALLY REALLY... APPEALING to gay people, even though itā€™s not really gay itself. The phantom thief, the spy outfits, all the girls riding motorcycles, the leather, the cool spy equipment... It just felt like it would appeal to a lot of gay people (and it did, cause we fuckin liked it). This movie is good. Please watch it and donā€™t let its low ranking on other lists dissuade you. We are right and they are wrong.Ā 
2. THE BARBIE DIARIES (2006)
Tumblr media
Before yall say anything, we know that this movie is fucking ugly. We clowned on some of the other movies for being ugly but this one truly takes the ugly cake.Ā 
HOWEVER, that did not prevent this movie from being good. We fucking loved it.Ā 
FIRST OF ALL, Barbie is in high school???? Which was so fresh to see???? Thereā€™s no magic, no princesses. Itā€™s literally just a down-to-Earth teen drama movie involving Barbie, her friends, a love interest, and some mean girls.Ā 
This had a really interesting plot that was actually kind of... complicated???? Dare I say??? Weā€™re not stupid. There was just so much going on involving couples breaking up and getting back together, Barbie changing her motivations, how her friends react to what sheā€™s doing, just... so much.
The only real criticism we have of this one is that the apology in this one was pretty rushed and didnā€™t feel Barbieā€™s friends should have forgiven her so easily for the shit she did. Other than that, though, this was a pretty great teen drama that I would highly recommend. I would definitely watch this one again, regardless of how ugly it is.Ā 
Tumblr media
GAYNESS RANK: Barbie had a clear love interest with a guy that was super sweet (sorry we didnā€™t mention him but heā€™s one of the better love interests, love u Kev) but mean girl teen drama is always a little gay? Plus how she would go back and forth between social circles was interesting. Also her and her friends are in a band, which is always cool and appealing to the gays, at least.Ā 
1. BARBIE STARLIGHT ADVENTURE (2016)
Tumblr media
We did it. We made it to the end. If thereā€™s even one person who read this at all I would thank you but... youā€™ve lost along with us. BUT AT LEAST WE GET TO TELL YOU ABOUT STARLIGHT ADVENTURE. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie came out NOWHERE and fucking PUNCHED US IN THE FACE. When the wheel picked this one, we were starting to get burned out, and thought that since this was a newer Barbie movie it wouldnā€™t be very good. Boy, were we fucking wrong.Ā 
This movie is so INTERESTING and HANDS DOWN has the best portrayal of Barbie as a character. This took such an interesting perspective on space travel, sci-fi, a slightly dystopian YA setting... it has so much going on but never feels like too much.Ā 
Can we just start with how GORGEOUS this movie looks and how CUTE Barbieā€™s design is?!
Tumblr media
Sheā€™s wearing a VEST and PANTS!!!!! FUCK YES.Ā 
Anyway, the plot: She lives with her dad on this deserted planet, and she takes care of the animals, while also riding a hoverboard competitively. Sheā€™s contacted by some galactic king to join a team and fix the alignment of the stars? (sorry if itā€™s not exactly right lol its 4am). When accepting, she also meets this girl that she had been competing with at hoverboard competitions, and they develop a really sweet friendship with each other and a few other friends/teammates.Ā 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unlike the other Barbie movies, we kind of understand why everyone else looks up to Barbie as a leader figure. She makes decisions confidently and goes through so much character development. Even the villain goes through a sort of redemption arc, and itā€™s done fairly well!!! This is so much different from other Barbie movies.Ā 
This feels like it could be, like, a legitimate movie that could be played in theaters rather than a straight-to-DVD Barbie movie. The animation in this was GORGEOUS, like miles better than 99% of the other movies. Plus, cute animal sidekick (FINALLY).Ā 
Tumblr media
We canā€™t gush about this enough, people should be made aware of this movie. Itā€™s completely worth your time. ITā€™S ALSO ON NETFLIX.Ā 
GAYNESS RANK: This is another one thatā€™s moreso appealing to gay people rather than being gay itself. However, Barbie and the other girl that rides the hoverboard have a few really gay scenes, such as meeting up in a garden late at night and riding around. They giggle and laugh with each other and have a deep conversation about life and shit while staring up at the (gorgeously animated) sky. That def gets some points.Ā 
Thatā€™s it those are all the 36 Barbie movies ranked based off of nothing but pure............................ hubris? Stupidity? Pride? I donā€™t know. Iā€™m so sorry. We fucking hated watching most of these.Ā 
Except for Starlight Adventure.... You can stay.
