i feel like seeing rafe interact with a toddler would be so funny, they’re both just staring at each other in silence - it causes rafe to tweak tf out because why is she looking at him, what does she know that he doesn’t. it makes me giggle

When Peter’s indecisive, he HAS to ask someone for their opinion. It doesn’t matter who tf it is or what they said, he needs a second opinion
Peter, thinking of a new web shooter design because his current one is a little too bulky on his wrists and he wants to make it inconspicuous yet in doing so, some variations of the webs will be unavailable: Mr Stark. New design or stick with the current web-shooters? Sure there’s many web variations and I won’t lose much if some is lost but what if I really need it and it’s not there?
Tony, silent for a moment before giving a completely different answer from the choices given: I bet you can make one less bulky but still as good as your current one. Honestly, I don’t think you can make it any better than mine cause I made your current ones, young man
Peter immediately sees it as a challenge and his lips pulls up to a grin as he starts his planning. Tony simply smirks as he makes some tweaks into his repulser, knew it would work because Peter is quite competitive in certain areas.
OR
Peter and Wade’s is going on a rather fancy anniversary date, paid by Tony as apology to Peter for shooting his boyfriend multiple times with the drones whenever he’s in the tower(He’ll still do it again. Just not today).
They’re going to a restaurant Tony booked out just for the two and there’s a dress code. The two usually wore hoodies, sweaters or just shirts with sweatpants whenever they went out together without the suits. Tony expected them to at least wear something slightly fancier and fashionable looking. Wade doesn’t like the fact he can’t hide his face but since it’s only staff there, he keeps quiet. Peter panics slightly about the dress code thingy. (Man is stressed and sweating)
Wade’s already dressed up and is waiting on Peter’s bed as he watches the man complicate his life over certain leather jackets he owns two different colors of thanks to Tony and the problem is that both jackets fits his outfit very well so he doesn’t know what the hell he should wear. He frowns at the mirror for the millionth time that day as he pulls the clothing up to his chest. He usually doesn’t care about clothing but it’s a fancy place and he still has his damn Parker Pride.
Peter turns to face Wade and holds out the two leather jackets: Black or Beige
Wade who finds it physically impossible to choose because his baby boy looks good in everything: I don’t know, you look incredible in whatever you decide
Peter sighs and tries again: Thanks but I’m having a hard time choosing so I want you to help me pick
Wade ‘my baby boy is perfect, no flaws’ Wilson: Either way, you’re going to look the best in whatever you wear to everyone, especially to me cause you’re the cutest person alive, I just love you so much baby boy
Peter convinced Wade thinks he’s testing him but he’s genuinely not and repeats himself again: Wade I love you too, I won’t criticize whatever you choose, so please pick one. Which jacket you think fits better with my outfit? Which looks nicer?
Wade, staring at his boyfriend with heart eyes and a dreamy sigh, completely ignoring whatever he asked earlier: You’re just so handsome and so cute and so hot every single moment of a day. You look absolutely amazing in whatever you wear baby boy. Spectacular even
Peter, giving up and about to ask someone else’s opinion when he hears the vent just outside his room creaking: Mr Barton! Beige or Black!? *holds up jackets*
Clint, sticking his head out from the ceiling as he squints to see: Beige. Black makes you look like a punk-ass bitchy brat.
Peter, happy to finally get an opinion and completely not caring about what he said: Thank you for your non-filtered opinion!
Clint, pulling himself back into the vent: No problem!
(Inspired by that one tt skit!)
#Wade is at the corner pouting like an abandoned puppy#he definitely thinks peter doesn’t value his opinion#peter tries explaining what he said wasn’t helpful to him#wade cries and upset bc peter said he wasn’t useful#totally misunderstood peter and the spider facepalms#marvel#marvel universe#marvel headcanons#peter parker#spiderman#wade wilson#deadpool#spiderman x deadpool#spideypool#tony stark#iron man#irondad and spiderson#clint barton

The Sakamakis perfect match in: Game night
From author: This is a new series I'll be doing where I pair up the Sakamakis with their perfect partner for specific scenarios, so if you have any asks, feel free to send!
Shu Sakamaki
🎻- Frankly, Shu is a lazy man child whose only purpose on earth is to drive you up a wall
🎻- He needs someone competent that can carry your team for the BOTH of you because God knows he won't
🎻- Shu finds that getting a reaction out of you far more interesting than the game itself
🎻- So let's say you're playing Uno, he has five +4 cards up his ass and he's only willing to spend them on either you or Reiji
🎻- The truth is, when you're good at everything, no challenge is ever truly a challenge and that makes life soooo boring especially if you're immortal
🎻- Anyways, Shu would be best matched with someone that would try their best at any given game, especially if they're competitive
🎻- He also needs someone that's a major crash out and tweaks tf out when he ruins the game for them
Reiji Sakamaki
☕️- Reiji definitely needs a team player
☕️- He needs someone strategic and communicative so they can conspire together on ways to win
☕️- Here's a hint, he's open to blatant cheating if you do it in such a way that it doesn't technically count, except it so does
☕️- For example, you're all playing Monopoly. You offer to buy Ayato's property in exchange for yours except you KNOW that it's in between both of Reiji's properties, and the chances of him landing are extremely high and you and Reiji are in kahoots together so you both split the profits
☕️- See that's not technically cheating, that's playing smart
☕️- Reiji's best match would be someone who's competitive but also cunning. Ooh and never let him feel like you're the one in charge, he'll go crazy
Ayato Sakamaki
🏀- Well uh
🏀- He would want someone as arrogant and competitive as him, but is that what he needs? Absolutely not
🏀- Ayato needs someone level headed that can help balance out their team dynamic in order to win
🏀- He needs someone that'll see the flaws in his mistakes and take accountability for HIM because I have no idea if you could even convince him he even made a mistake in the first place
🏀- In short, Ayato needs someone to save that burning ship he's on
🏀- You need to be in control without specifically admitting you're in control, you need to be sneaky about it and make it seem like HE'S the one who came up with those ideas
🏀- The best example I can think of is when you're playing pictionary, you whisper something REALLY close to what the actual thing is and have him come up with the answer himself
Laito Sakamaki
🃏- Laito's best match would be someone who's a bit laid back and playful
🃏- While we all know Laito's extremely smart and can read people well, we need someone to bring out that side of him rather than takeover and never have him put his skills to use
🃏- He needs someone that'll force him to take the lead otherwise everything would just be a big joke to him and unless it's a game he likes, he genuinely does not care
🃏- You need to kind of be a Shu in this case
🃏- What I mean by this is, you need to tease him a bit, make him feel just the inciest bit insecure about his game skills. Tease him, make jabs at him, play mindlessly into the opponent's hands
🃏- Hmm this example would best describe what I mean. Imagine you're playing a game of Ludo and you roll a six and instead of moving your piece out of the way before it gets "eaten", you choose the option to unlock another of your pieces to the game. He goes nuts after your like 3rd time of this and subtly starts giving advice despite cussing you out in his mind
Kanato Sakamaki
🧸- Someone patient for sure but also extremely determined
🧸- You need to essentially gentle parent him to the finish line
🧸- Don't get mad at him when he makes a dumb move but let him scold you because you did
🧸- Kanato would work well with someone that's headstrong and has a clear view of victory. He needs someone he can trash talk the other players to, regardless if they're his brothers or not
🧸- Aside from him being batshit insane, he'd be a fun person to play with. He's smart and calculated in the emotional aspect of the game and he can read his players really well
🧸- He knowsss how to get under their skin and might even have a freak out if someone calls him out. Of course none of it is real, but what the others said DID hurt his feelings (just maybe not to that extent truthfully)
🧸- Kanato would work well with someone willing to put up with his antics, someone who's patient and well versed in the game they're playing
🧸- The only example for this scenario I can think of is imagine you guys are playing checkers or chess and Kanato stands behind you while outwardly critiquing your opponent's every flaw and making disappointed noises and distracting them purposely
Subaru Sakamaki
🥀- Similar to Kanato, he needs someone patient
🥀- Obviously his anger will be an issue, but you also need to be smart to be able to point out the flaws in his moves and communicate to him ways to win
🥀- See Subaru would pair great with someone that can tell him what to do clearly and precisely
🥀- You need to be the brains to his brawns, you need to think and act quickly
🥀- You also need to shit talk his brothers with him
🥀- Maybe they made a stupid move, why not try lightening the mood with some loud whispering about them
🥀- Subaru would act like he doesn't like the idea of game night, but by the time he has the dice in his hand, he's folded. And because of this, he needs someone that can have fun with him
🥀- He needs someone playful but yet a person that can lock in at any given moment
🥀- Even if you guys don't win, he'll make a comment on how fun it was in the end
🥀- Example wise, I can honestly only think of you guys playing Snakes and Ladders and you shake the desk while the dice rolls to give someone the exact number they need to get eaten by a snake and he's just in the background backing you up and vouching for you that you didn't do it, meanwhile he's trying so hard not to laugh his ass off

This one's majorly because I want your funny take on it bc my mind can't decide LMAO. Could I request LKBS when their daughter or kid is being flirted with/asked out. I majorly think Bi-Han would tweak tf out but pretend he isn't buuut- I'm here for your take on it!
My bad for the wait anon. I've been sick for over a week and I was tryna wait for it to pass but it's still here sooo imma stop waiting and thug it out. My body hates me. I'm typing this on my phone and tumblr is so glitchy on here. Imma start biting my walls-
Bi-Han is for sure tweaking on the inside
It's not even just the fact that his daughter is being flirted with. It's the fact that this is happening IN FRONT of him
That gif is what he wants to do
Now do I think Bi-Han is like "oh my little girl can NEVER date?
No.
Do I think that he thinks dating shouldn't be their priority?
Yes.
She should focus on other things he deems important before getting distracted and dating
Bi-Han would just be standing there like the Hash Slinging Slasher while this rando is flirting with his daughter
If she starts flirting back, which she probably would, I could legit see him walking over and making his presence known
The poor teenagers-
"Bàba this is Dylan" "Hi Mr-"
Bi-Han grabs his daughter by the top of the head and starts walking away
It doesn't hurt. He just has a very firm hold and is like "we're going this way"
The absolute audacity to flirt in front of him? What happened to respect? Decorum?
Back in his day, he would NEVER do such a thing in front of his father. And he let that bitch die.
"Hey! Why did you do that?" "That boy is no good for you" "You don't even know him!" "Look at his arms. They're skinny. He can't protect you. He'd be dead weight"
Wow. I always love our talks Bi-Han :D
I don't think Kuai Liang would start tweaking, but I think he shares the same views as Bi-Han
There's just certain things he thinks is inappropriate to do in front of parents
And by "in front of parents" these two mean "in the same area". Doesn't matter if they're on the other side of the room
"Harumi, who is that boy?" "That's Dylan! Him and (name) are rather close" "Oh so she told you about Dylan but not me?
I don't think he necessarily wants to pull her away, but he would wanna make his presence known
Y'all know how some dads are with their daughters. She's his Princess and the thought of her growing up tugs at their heart
He wants to go over and stop the whole scene but Harumi tells him no
So instead he pretends he's not staring but definitely is
This mf has the most intense gaze as he's watching them. Harumi got a tight grip on him. She needs a damn leash
At some point his daughter and Dylan (idk why this name is sticking-) look over
He's just standing there... menacingly!
"Um, Dylan, I gotta go. I don't think my dad is happy"
Meanwhile "See what you did?" "I'm just standing here"
Exactly. You're just standing there and being a creeper
If this mf dies in Khaos Reigns, y'all are never seeing me again
Moving on-
I'm not exactly sure how Tomas would react
On one hand, he's grown up with Kuai Liang and Bi-Han, so he probably shares some of the same ideas and mentality
On the other hand, I just don't see him having a strong reaction
He prefers if this wasn't happening in front of him, but he kinda knows that teens don't be thinking fr
One thing's for certain though, he better not see SHIT become physical over there
No shoulder touching, no hand touching, no kissing, no hugging for too long-
It's just a bit too much
Tries to act like he's doing other shit but his eyes keep darting
Like bitch you're never pretending to be counting leaves. Didn't think this through, did you?
I can imagine his daughter looking over and being like "Hey papa! What are you doing?
"Nothing. Me? Haha... just hanging around"
"Would you like to meet Dylan?" "Well if you insist"
Actually talks to Dylan
Yay!

Still thinking about this post and continuing to be frustrated about Elsie, and how poorly developed her relationship with Eris and Drifter is, and how underutilized their friendship is in general.
Thinking about the intersections of their lives. Elsie knows Eris and Drifter, even if they don't know her. Elsie has faced off against Eris at her worst, and now stands at her side at her best. Elsie has found Drifter dead as he desperately and selfishly tried to survive, and now he's alive, more sure of himself, more willing to look out for his friends.
And Eris and Drifter don't know Elsie at first, but they must trust her for their collective survival — for humanity, the Traveler and the Light, if they are to use Darkness against Darkness.
Thinking about the parallels of their stories. Elsie, who like Eris trapped in the Pit, has pressed on day after day, held onto hope against better reason, who finally finds a way out, traumatized, changed, but wiser. Elsie, who like Drifter, has lived by different names and identities, has endured betrayal, and withstood apocalypse.
Thinking about these three as the three who transcended their design, as foretold by The Nine. The hourglass counting down with infinite patience, the forgotten blade sharpened anew, and the dredgen. Their meeting is not just happenstance, but fate.
How satisfying it would have been for them to find in each other what they lost or never had. For Elsie, friends to walk at her side as she escapes the cycle and faces an unknown future. For Eris, a fireteam; not a replacement for her lost comrades, but a chance to make new ones. And Drifter gets a crew he will neither be betrayed by nor forced to betray — learning the real meaning of trust.
I think a catastrophic disservice has been done to all three by focusing on Eris' and Drifter's relationship, all but cutting Elsie out of the picture. It would have been so much more powerful to have Eris send a radio message to Elsie and Drifter talking about how their friendship helped her aspire to more than survival. Imagine if all three continued their studies of the Pyramid and its technology together, continuing the arc first started in Beyond Light. (This one is shockingly egregious for being set on Europa and hand-waving Elsie away to focus on Eris and Drifter — as the fandom does.) What if Elsie and Drifter had visited Eris together in Season of the Witch, what if Elsie had told Eris that she trusted her despite the terror she felt at Eris picking up the mantle of hive god as she had in all her dark futures, instead of getting into fights with Ikora over it?
These are relatively small tweaks to the narrative that would have kept Elsie relevant beyond her role as emotional support sister to Ana, would have added depth to all three, and truly established them as a "Dark" mirror to the Vanguard. I'm heartened that all three were together at the final battle, but it sucks that we got zero development of their relationship between their fight with House Salvation in BL, and the very end of TFS.
Just!! What they could have been. What the writers and fandom could have made of them. Man.

No bc I'm so mad rn I usually post my rants on ig stories but I need the tumblrites to tell me if I'm crazy or what. Jwcc/ct spoilers WHATEVER
First of all I want to preface this by saying that this is just my opinion on the matter, I'm not saying your headcanons are "wrong" or whatever tf, it's a kids cartoon where they unironically use terms like "fam". You can play with the characters however you'd like.
That being said, this is why TO ME it does not makes sense for Ben to be anything other than gay. Again, if you think he's bi or straight or anything else that's cool. I'm also leaning towards the opinion that he does actually have a girlfriend. I don't think the shows gonna pull a 180 on it because, realistically, 2 queer characters is already a lot for a DreamWorks kids show. As much as I'd like it not to be.
But, since the beginning, Ben has been very clearly coded as exclusively into men to me. Before finally going into it, I remind everyone on here that I'm a lesbian. I have felt an affinity with his character specifically for the experience of only liking the same gender. I might be totally projecting.
Ok, so.
1. The arc Ben goes through during the show is yes, one of self discovery, but also one of self acceptance. He changes a lot from the start of s1, but he also comes to terms with stuff himself or other people didn't like about him. He doesn't throw the dork pouch away or tells Kenji to keep it, the first thing he does when he takes it back from Kenji is put on hand sanitizer. He is covered in dirt, he's not afraid of filth anymore, but he still does that action because it's part of who he is as a person. He also becomes very unashamed at the things he does. He went from being embarrassed of his carob bars to eating grubs in front of people who he knows think it's gross. He knows himself as he is and he accepts it. To me (and to lots of other people) this works very well as a gay metaphor, and pairs up pretty nicely with the whole "jungle boy? Jungle MAN" arc being a trans metaphor. But how does this make Ben uniquely into men?
Well, it doesn't. But I think this next one does.
2. Enter Yasmina. She's pretty, she's smart, athletic, funny, all that good stuff. I'm not saying that means every wlm character should automatically be into her, but it certainly helps. Now forgive me if I don't remember specific episodes/seasons, but we all remember that episode where Ben convinces himself that Yaz is in love with him for some reason. When he "rejects" her, he says : "I'm just now starting to find myself". That's cool, cause I'm pretty sure Ben's " finding himself " personality wise was over and done a couple of seasons ago. To me, that is a really good hint at him dealing with his gayness.
3. He's also the first person Yasmina talks to about her feelings for Sammy. Now, in this particular context, the options for Yaz to talk to were Darius, Brooklynn, or Ben. It would initially seem to make more sense for her to confide in Brooklynn, since the two of them are far closer than her and Ben, and it also wouldn't be the first time she brings up Sammy as a romantic interest for Yaz (see: everyone tweaking abt that one line back in like s2). So why does Yasmina, a very private and reserved person, choose Ben to talk to about her same sex crush? She has probably gathered from the previous conversation that Ben relates to her struggle in a unique way in which Brooklynn just can't. Ben seems very receptive of what Yaz is saying ("feelings, am I right?") and it seems like he REALLY gets where she's coming from.
4. This is one I don't see talked about a lot, and maybe it's just cause I'm too out of the loop with the fandom, but I want to examine it as well. It's when Ben decides to not actually stay on the island. Everyone (except Sammy) already knew he wasn't going to stay in the end, but still didn't force him out. I think this is especially clear in a line Darius says when they reunite on the boat that goes something like "you needed to figure it out on your own" *smile hand on shoulder combo*. No explanation needed I think

Hey, can you do Hc for a relationship with Mitsuyo?? I don't see that much content about the freak, and I'm DESPERATE.
If you don't want is ok, no pressure<3
Kureishi Mitsuyo relationship headcanons
Kureshi x gn! Reader
Fluff, perhaps some ooc (I'm not familiar with his character at ALL but like fuck it we ball)
~~~~~
- before you start dating him, he would probably act normal, maybe even kind and gentle, towards you
- he just wants to make a good impression y'know?
- he is really good at it too, so you're pretty easily fooled into thinking he was simply a gorgeous sweetheart
- while you were indeed right about the gorgeous, sweetheart is far from what he should he described as
- that man is a MENACE
- after he knows that you won't leave him, he would start to show his true self
- not that it's bad or anything, in fact you find it quite attractive, but he can be such a PAIN
- he loves to tease you, especially if you give him a reaction to being messed with, be it a twitch of your eyebrow, to a full on grimace or snappy retorts
- finds it amusing and WILL laugh at your expense
- he would hate to accidentally make you cry, though
- unless you're a stuck up spoilt brat/princess type
- if so, watch your step because he WILL have you in tears by the end of the day
- NEVER talks shit about you to others though, makes you look real good to people around him, always talking about how lucky he is to have you
-you're his angel, people around him are probably sick of hearing him yap on about how much he wants you
- he gives amazing massages, and is just really good with his hands in general (wink wink) (get my drift)
- gives you free massages which he uses as an excuse to have his hands on your body
- he's pretty sadistic, so he'd probably press kinda hard on you (slight bruising at most, would not break anything/hurt you)
- loves the sounds you make, he finds them arousing especially if you're shy and try to muffle them with your hand or something, he shows no mercy, will push his luck just to make you scream
- really likes how you squirm under his touch
- he lets you braid his hair
- it's really easy since his hair is so straight and smooth
- won't take the braids out, keeps them until they unbraid themselves naturally
- he probably shows you off a lot, like bringing you along when he has training sessions with Cosmo (he's flexing his gf on a kid, yes) or when he meets up with his friends
- Cosmo has probably accidentally called you mom before, just saying
- you and kureishi love treating him like your kid, saying things like
"our son grows up so fast doesn't he, Mitsuyo?"
"Ms/Mr y/n, you've known me for a week at most-"
"hush child, I'm your parent now."
- (il)legally adopt him
- I don't think kureishi would actually want kids though
- I just don't get that vibe from him
~~~~~
I'll be completely honest I skipped a lot of chapters of kengan ashura/omega which he appeared in because I was just trying to find all the chapters with gaolang in em
I did reread it in the end but the point is I never really looked into him and don't know if this is in character or whatever (it better not be ooc or I will tweak tf out

More headcanons about prongsfoot cheaters please?? I’m obsessed with it
me too actually. like i cant stop thinking abt this au. yap incoming!
this sirius is a narcissist. i mean he always is but its bad bad here. he falls in love w remus bc remus fawns over him which makes him feel good. he thrives on the attention that remus gives him.
which is why he's tweaking tf OUT when remus leaves him. he is fr heartbroken bc he needs someone completely devoted to him around him at all times. and he doesnt see what's wrong with a few sexual exchanges among friends
and poor bby remus. he's having his leave (get out) moment. his big girls dont cry moment. his irreplaceable moment, even. it takes him a LOT to get here & he almost doesn't leave sirius but sirius' refusal to stop seeing james sends him over the edge
is there space for me to say this ends in moonwater
lily though? oh my god lily. her and sirius are having a manipulate james-off. she is not going down without a fight and she fights dirty. her sole prerogative is to make sirius' life MISERABLE. after remus leaves and sirius starts demanding that james leaves lily, girl sees right through it. she is the only one in this scenario who knows sirius is a narcissist and she is constantly trying to show james the light
and right when sirius has james ready to ask for a divorce? she's pregnant. my good sister hands the test to james and bats her big teary green eyes and hits him with 'i was thinking harry james, for a boy'
james folds. lily milks like. four more years out of her marriage this way
does she even want to stay married to james? who knows. she's fucking mary like every other day atp. but one thing lily evans will NOT do is lose
meanwhile sirius is still crashing out texting james every day like 'please we dont need her i would be such a good mother to our baby'
james' fatal flaw in this is lack of resistance to temptation. like, he's probably the only one here who is acknowledging that this is extremely fucked up and that his actions are objectively wrong. but sacrifice his own pleasure? give up something that serves him? he'd much rather have it both ways for as long as he can
#the way this just flops for everyone like not even prongsfoot ends up happy#maybe moonwater does#but thats another post#prongsfoot#cheaters prongsfoot

Jean Grey rethinks her life while dying
As she's bleeding out at the last Hellfire Gala with Moira's knife through her breast, Jean asks 'where did I go wrong?'
Little cuties
Using Phoenixology, she explores major decisions in her life as a kind of What if? The first scenario she imagines is the O5 keeping their memories from the time older Beast bought them to the future. Bobby gets to stay out of the closet, though it doesn't impact the story.
Chuck pushes back against the idea, but Jean's telepathy is at full strength and he can't force the issue. The rest of the team trust her.
The first big divergence comes when Magneto attacks Manhattan. After some back and forth Jean just shuts his brain down. Xavier would absolutely do that, lol. In fact, he has. Scott is not impressed by that.
Charles is so mad about this he kicks them out, choosing to spend his time trying to restore Mags. The X-Men, out from under Xavier's influence, go public to try and get ahead of the hate - establish themselves as superheroes. Jean becomes more and more comfortable with what Scott calls 'mind tweaks.'
They look to tackle the issue of mutant manifestations and the inherent risk. On site for a young mutant exploding shit, they rescue who they can but Jean opts for a cover up. I find it unlikely that forensics would be able to uncover the lie if they did it correctly, but they do. Also, Jean threatens the team with psychic tampering and bonds begin to fray.
Their conversation is interrupted by Trask's sentinels attacking them in downtown Manhattan. How TF did he get whoever to sign off on this? It looks dangerous as hell. The X-Men escape and pivot to using future knowledge of mutant manifestations to grab them first, starting with Kitty Pryde.
Kitty's parents... come around and they do the same for Mirage and Cannonball. Tensions are really fraying re: Jean's methods and she doesn't look too happy.
They take the kids to Chuck, who's surprisingly passive about everything. I guess his X-Men experiment going bad quite quickly (from his perspective) affected him. Mags looks washed up AF though, oof. Chuck challenges Jean by asking the rest of the team if they're still with her, and to her surprise and anger they're not. There's a bit more to it than that, Scott is the last to leave after she shuts down Hank's brain. Magneto is like 'I love your work but you really need to murder more people. Think about it.'
Jean says fuck it and calls to the Phoenix early, then starts rampaging harder than Magneto. After some effective uses of girl power the X-Men decide they have to try to stop her. Mags is like 'no, not like that!'
The rest of the O5 + Mags suit up in Magneto helmets and face her head on. They look cool AF, but the situation quickly escalates causing a ton of damage. I really empathize with Mags wearing his helmet if the alternative is Chuck's big bald astral head moralising at you constantly. Jean gets real mad and kills everyone on the planet. At this point she realises maybe this What If? isn't working out too well, lol. Good to know.

creek & kyman’s parallel as opposites attract ships (FROM THE VAULT [2020])
I didn’t even give a shit about Creek and it never even crossed my mind back when it was a crack ship but when it became canon I started to ship it and look more into it. I honestly think Tweek & Craig are really good for each other, and Creek is a classic case of opposite’s attract. Tweek is all neurotic and overly emotional and anxious while Craig on the other hand is chill and gives zero fucks lmaoooo. And yeah since they’re so different they can fight sometimes because they don’t always get each other, but I think they make each other better because of their differences. Craig knows how to get Tweek to like calm tf down and chill out, like it was shown in “Tweek x Craig” how Craig gave Tweek the confidence he needed to act and put on that performance when they pretended to break up lmaooo. And Tweek on the other hand has been able to bring out Craig’s softer gentler more emotional side, because Craig is very caring towards Tweek and we don’t really see this softness from Craig with anyone else in the show. I really think Creek might be the healthiest canon ship on the show and the most positively portrayed, unlike Heiman and Stendy jesus fuck. Especially since “Put it Down” which is one of the best modern episodes of the show, I feel like that episode portrayed their relationship really well. It was an episode where they did get into a disagreement, but they were able to communicate with each other and work it out in the end which every healthy relationship should do. I mean all couples fight and disagree with each other sometimes, no couple is just sunshine and rainbows getting along 24/7, but it’s whether or not the couple can work out their issues in a communicative way that forms a healthy relationship. But back to the opposites attract thing, I really feel like Kyman is similar to Creek and could work too for those reasons. I mean Cartman & Kyle are total opposites (even though Kyle is more like Cartman than he thinks). Kyle is super neurotic too, just like Tweak, and he’s a rule follower and Kyle is obsessed with trying to be a good boy and everything, Cartman on the other hand is the complete opposite and just does whatever the fuck he wants, breaks the rules, and is completely reckless. I think Cartman & Kyle could both make each other better, because Kyle would get Cartman to be less of a shitty person and do more good things LMAO and Cartman could get Kyle to stop being such a little cranky bitch all the time and loosen up more and have fun.

DRUGS COST MONEY (MARK LEWISOHN, DRUG BUDDY)
I'm late, but I'm here, and this is something I've thought about since I read Tune In the first time.
First of all, Lewisohn's definition and description of what Preludin was is wildly underplayed and misleading, so I have to just get out a few quick Preludin facts. They're helpful.
Lewisohn:
Preludin was an appetite suppressant, an anorectic drug introduced into West German society in 1954, when commercial pressures were making women become more image-conscious. Users maintained an appetite but quickly felt full when eating, and the reduced intake brought about weight loss. Preludin’s primary ingredient, phenmetrazine, was not an amphetamine but an upper, giving the user a euphoric buzz. It was soon sold internationally and used recreationally, and though available in Germany only with a doctor’s prescription...
- “Tune In” - Chapter 19; Piedels on Prellies
(Oh, those women and their obsession with weight.)
I know Lewisohn's not a chemist and I don't expect him to have done extensive study before writing “not an amphetamine but an upper”—which, first of all is just a weird, grade school sounding statement about any stimulant in general that no scientist would ever say or write—but also he makes it sound like it's a fizzy little pill that gives you the sillies.
But definitely not an amphetamine or anything bad like that.
Look, even Wikipedia says right at the top, “[i]ts structure incorporates the backbone of amphetamine,” and although I didn't spend more than a few seconds there, I saw it because it came up first in the search like Wikipedia always does. Just saying it's basically impossible to miss.
And whether he was trying to hide the ball or not, since he wrote so much about them I am going to quickly set the "not amphetamine" record straight before I go on.
“Methamphetamine hydrochloride (Desoxyn) and phenmetrazine hydrochloride (Preludin) are two variants of the amphetamine structure.”
- “Amphetamine Abuse”, Sidney Cohen, MD, JAMA
“The experience in Sweden seems to indicate that phenmetrazine (e.g. Preludin) has the highest potency, and the greatest risk of psycho-toxic, acute and chronic effects (Rylander 1966). Amphetamines and methylphenidate seem to show less dependence-producing and psycho-toxic effects than phenmetrazine.”
- (United Nations Bulletin; Vol XX, No. 2)
Basically, Preludin was synthesized by taking an amphetamine skeleton and boosting tf out of it by adding a very common sort of chemical scaffolding to it called a morpholine ring, allowing them to tweak it by sticking on a nitrogen group. But morpholine rings by themselves also increase potency and usually bioavailability.
So in the narrowest technical sense, Phenmetrazine (Preludin) is classified as a morpholine instead of an amphetamine, but in every way it is an amphetamine on speed. (And every description of it anywhere says so right up front.) It was Amphetamine Plus. The little added synthetic kicker the pharmaceutical company figured out how to attach to the amphetamine made it stronger—gave it the Preludin "kick"—made the high feel better in general (according to all this crap I spent way too much time reading) and also made it way more addictive. It increased dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, and the compound itself displayed “some entactogen properties more similar to MDMA." It made Preludin far more psychoactive than straight amphetamines. Made smells stronger, sensations more intense, and made you horny and "increased performance." It was taken off the market in 1980 because it was so hyper-addictive and the “psycho-toxicity” was so extreme. People reported doing things they barely remembered, including to a kind of freakish degree, like a lot of users committing crimes for the very first time in their lives. And so the company tried to replace it with a similar drug called Prelu-2, which is apparently still available but also almost never prescribed because even that was excessively addictive compared to non-boosted amphetamines.
And also, it made you feel body odors?
"...perfumes and flowers get a stronger smell, and body odours are felt more strongly than under normal conditions."
- (United Nations Bulletin; Vol XX, No. 2)
What are normal conditions? Maybe my normal conditions are different from everyone else's because I don't normally feel body odors?? But tbh I would literally try this drug just to see if I could.
Okay.
So... John was feeling some serious body odors because my man took a lot of them. Usually with lots of booze.
And apparently they made him more awesome.
George spoke graphically of how they would be “frothing at the mouth … we used to be up there foaming, stomping away.” John, as always, dived straight in, wholeheartedly grabbing another new experience with an open mouth and no thought of tomorrow. The Beatles called them “pep pills”—the commonly used British term of the period—and also “Prellies.”
...Two pills a night were more than enough for most but John frequently took four or five, and in conjunction with hour after hour of booze he became wired, a high-speed gabbling blur of talent, torment and hilarity.
- “Tune In” - Chapter 19; Piedels on Prellies
Yeah, he sounds like a blast. Good thing you got a quote there, my guy. I'm sure the first description that would’ve come to his roommates’ minds would be “hilarity.” Or second, after “hero.” (Sorry, I don't want to be hard on John. I have a lot of bandwidth and patience for drug indulgences, especially in a situation like this, but Lewisohn is unbelievable.)
Ruth Lallemannd, a St. Pauli barmaid who knew the Beatles from 1960, recalls an occasion when “They crushed ten Prellies to powder, put them in a bottle of Cola and shared it between them. They were always wound up.”
Drugs cost money
Amazingly enough though, these prescription-only pills didn't just magically get from people with nice doctors to John’s hands. Someone sold them to someone else and they ended up with “the toilet lady,” Tante Rosa, who sold them.
They looked like little white sweets … but these were no mint drops.
- Chapter 19
So cute!
Preludin small-print advised against its being taken less than six hours before bedtime, in case of sleep disorders.
- Chapter 19
So if Lewisohn is reading the small print of a drug that was discontinued 44 years ago he did not miss the Wikipedia page and must know that “not an amphetamine but an upper” is wildly misleading. Technically true in the chemical classification sense, but not in the medical or pharmacological sense. And true in the same way that “fentanyl isn't morphine” is true.
But that's not my point.
My point is that these “little white sweets” were strong, had wild “psycho-toxic” effects, John took a lot of them, and they weren't free.
Because drugs cost money.
Paul slept fine on just the one pill, John and George didn’t. George would recall “lying in bed, sweating from Preludin, thinking, ‘Why aren’t I sleeping?’ ” John simply took more: “You could work almost endlessly until the pill wore off, then you’d have to have another … You’d have two hours’ sleep and wake up to take a pill and get on stage, and it would go on and on and on. When you didn’t even get a day off you’d begin to go out of your mind with tiredness.”
Or, put another way, John was “a high-speed gabbling blur of talent, torment and hilarity.” And Paul did uncool stuff like sleeping.
Also, what in the...
Tony, George, Paul, John and Pete, along with Rosi and perhaps some stray females, would stagger wearily and noisily up three long flights of wooden stairs...
“Stray females”??? Is he talking about cats? Don't call human beings “strays,” you self-important oddity.
THE GROWNUP
John was never much into paying for stuff. Like rent, for instance. But that's what friends are for.
John was blessed with a particular talent for frittering away his funds (the council grant designed to provide his working materials) and was rarely in a position to pay [rent]. As Rod remembers, “During the week I’d go and have a pint with him and he’d always have money for a beer, but when it came to the day to pay the rent he was always hard up. ‘Could I owe it to you?’ ‘Would you like this jacket?’ One time he paid me with a Mounties-type Canadian jacket he’d probably nicked from someone else.”
- “Tune In” - Chapter 13; “Hi-Yo, Hi-Yo, Silver–Away!”
He paid rent with a jacket? Landlords take those?
I'm not gonna lie, the only real issue I've ever had with Paul—the things I have the most confusion and hesitancy about—are when he seems inexplicably cheap. Like paying the Wings band so little for so long. There's only a few cases that come to mind, but they're my weak point with him.
Still, having done my share of experimenting—as well as dating a guy who became a high-functioning addict before becoming a non-functioning addict before becoming an ex who died of an overdose—I know very well how it feels to see money flow through your hands like water and into someone else's bloodstream. And what happens then is you either both starve or you are the only one eating. In the end, someone has to have money to live, and the more drugs my ex took the more I was forced into being a walking, talking, pissed off safety net.
Stu supposedly got in a fight with Paul because Stu owed Paul money. (Although that doesn't explain attacking Paul out of nowhere on stage half as well as a three-days-awake-Prellie-binge psycho-toxicity does.)
It does, however, mean that at least one guy in the band who was taking Preludin was running out of money between paychecks.
And there's no way that if Stu was running out of funds that John wasn't too. And faster. And according to Lewisohn, George was eating a lot of Preludin, too. Because he was also cool.
That leaves Paul.
John was notoriously bad with money even when he had a lot, and when everyone is living and working together it's almost impossible to be the only guy eating or the only guy smoking. But at the same time if you know you can't do anything to stop your friends from going hard and never thinking at all, it tends to make you more careful. Because you're all you've got and all they've got. You didn't ask for the job, but you drew the short straw. So you hide some cigarettes and share too many, and get increasingly sick of it and resentful, but there's no good answer.
John heaped a ton of spice into the mix by suddenly moving back into Mendips. He’s unlikely to have told Mimi of the Gambier Terrace eviction, but Rod Murray knew little of this hasty departure: John left most of his possessions in the flat and several weeks’ rent unpaid—to the tune of about £15. He just scarpered.
- “Tune In” - Chapter 15; Drive and Bash
“Spice.” Dude really said “spice.” That John, so spicy. And fwiw, that's £300 today.
Maybe John had another jacket to pitch in.
Paul says he's more cautious by nature and I'm sure that's true, but also you know they all relied on him because they knew he wouldn't be as stupid as they were. Who knows what he would've done—whether he would have lived a more libertine life in Hamburg—if he'd felt like that was an option and he didn't have to be the grownup. Who knows what he would have done if anyone else gave a shit whether they ate or smoked.
I'll end by repeating the freakishly weird way Lewisohn told a John psycho-toxicity story that the AKOM ladies pointed out in Ep 8: No Greater Buddy, since it's almost impossible not to talk about John and Prellies without it.
“PAUL AND GEORGE’S HERO-WORSHIP STAYED FULLY INTACT”
George was second only to John in the swallowing of Prellies and knew better than most the sum effect of taking too many for too long, how the combination of pills plus booze plus several sleepless days caused hallucinations and extreme conduct. He’d describe one occasion when he, Paul and Pete were lying in their bunk beds, trying to sleep, only for John to barge into the room in a wild state. “One night John came in and some chick was in bed with Paul and he cut all her clothes up with a pair of scissors, and was stabbing the wardrobe. Everybody was lying in bed thinking, ‘Oh fuck, I hope he doesn’t kill me.’ [He was] a frothing mad person—he knew how to have ‘fun.’ ”
Handling John was something his friends were well used to doing. If he didn’t murder them in their beds there was no greater buddy. They might fear for their lives but they loved him still. No way would they walk out and join another group. John was just John, and Paul and George’s hero-worship stayed fully intact.
- “Tune in” - Chapter 28; You Better Move On
Mark Lewisohn knows nothing about drugs or drug culture. Which is fine. Good. Great, even. But the thing is, it doesn't stop him from knowing everything about it. He has confidently and emphatically stated that John and Yoko weren't doing heroin in the daytime during the Get Back sessions. He even claims that they weren't on heroin during the Two Junkies interview. Even repeating this paraphrase makes me feel ridiculous, but he says that was a hangover from the night before, and that they were too lucid to be high. Which, first of all, is not how heroin fucking works. They were blasted. The aftereffects would be them being antsy and jumpy, not going in extra-slow motion and puking. Blows my mind, the hubris this guy has. To confidently state something he unquestionably pulled out of his ass without even a moment's hesitation. Not only is that not how heroin works, but it is the drug that people wake up to do. Not wake up and do. Wake up to do.
And you can tell from the way he talks about John on Prellies—“a high-speed gabbling blur of talent, torment and hilarity”—that he has never experienced anyone who's been up a few days. And I still have a more daring nature than most of my friends, and am in no way shocked by the drug use. Me and my friends in Houston used to take Fastin and go midnight bowling every Saturday. The memories are good and I regret nothing. But the naive way Lewisohn romanticizes John and low key mocks Paul—as if Lewisohn was the ultimate drug buddy and Paul a total prude—is so weird. It's freakishly, embarrassingly, weird. Like he wants to be the cool guy. Like he thinks he can be the cool guy, and is being the cool guy, but to me it's painfully embarrassing and nothing else makes him look more desperate and delusional.

Oh, Nettles really has been cut this season and everything points towards her being cut entirely. Mostly because Condal refuses to discuss her at all in interviews while he doesn’t do that with Daeron, Maelor, or any other yet unseen book character. There’s also very, very strong evidence of Rhaena claiming Sheepstealer this season.
Ryan went out of his way to expand upon other dragonseeds such as Addam, Alyn, Hugh, and Ulf this season while Nettles is a no show.
Why give a character no development, steal her dragon, steal every detail that makes her compelling, and then randomly plop her into season 3 with an immediate romance with Daemon ?
Ryan is also doing something every different with Nettles in interviews than he did with Daeron. When people ask when Daeron will show up, he has always been consistent that Daeron existed and would be apart of the show at some point. He’s even willing to talk about Maelor who hasn’t showed up yet either. When he gets asked about Nettles, he straight up ignores the question and changes topics.
I agree, Nettles doesn't seem to be real in HotD. Which, you know, tells us something abt how some people don't understand Nettles' narrative importance both in the controversy over Rhaenyra--whether or not she sought to arrest her merely to allay her own paranoia over the Dragonseeds after Ulf and Hugh's Betrayals/Tumbleton, or whether she merely sought to question her, or whether she truly thought Nettles was a witch who seduced Daemon as Septon Eustace claims--OR in her paralleling & reaffirming Daenerys Stormborn. Rhaena can't occupy that role, at all.
Rhaena's Daemon's trueborn daughter, has been a part for Rhaenyra's household and family for years already (trust is already there), was waiting on Morning to hatch, and was never with Daemon at Maidenpool but at the Vale. So what will induce Daemon to meet Aemond-Vhagar sooner rather than later?
They already co-opted so much from the supposedly "Mad" Daenerys for Rhaenyra and the greens. Misogynoir is baked into this project, and no, that Rhaena's own unique storyline is tweaked the way it seems it's going, it's still misogynoir for her as well: POST #1 & POST#2.
......................................................................
*EDIT* (7/5/24)
A Later Anon Had This to Say:
So... none of the eggs Rhaena leaves with are Morning. They actually confirmed they're Dany's three eggs and a blue one for Viserys. So if they truly do combine Rhaena with Nettles, how tf are they going to pull that off without it being crazy stupid or misogynistic? The council's whole justification was "she has no ties to our cause, we don't know her, and we don't know if she's been working with the Betrayers the whole time. If one more rider defects to the Greens it's over." None of those apply to Rhaena. So what, instead of the council pushing for strategic reasons, Rhaenyra's going to turn into a ranting raving evil stepmother that the men try to reason with and everyone can laugh about how she's worse than Alicent? Or will it be another "misunderstanding" in which case, why would Daemon ever believe she would order it? Does this mean that Rhaena will have a MASSIVE dragon? If she flees Rhaenyra specifically, why would Aegon risk killing Rhaenyra and bringing Rhaena out of hiding? Why would the war not immediately be over the moment Rhaenyra and Sunfyre die and Rhaena has the last huge dragon? The whole point of the dance is that targaryens and their women were left vulnerable. How is that still true if instead of a hatchling, she has a dragon big enough that she and Caraxes were seen as enough to take down Vhagar? Big enough for her and Baela to say, "fuck you. We're Aegon's regents."
