#i love this Dumb Boy so much g od

I don’t know what I love most about Julie and the Phantoms

could it be the main character Julie with her AMAZING VOICE and her AWESOME FASHION—deadass NEED her jeans from the first episode!!!

or maybe it’s this adorably stupid group of guys who have absolutely NO TOXIC MASCULINITY—which I fell in love with IMMEDIATELY and texted my friend multiple times how absolutely adorable they are with Alex. really. I couldn’t get enough of Alex.

so maybe it’s Alex? Alex, who I immediately called as gay from his first line. Alex, who has a huge freaking crush on an adorable ghost boy named Willie who looks like a puppy when he smiles. Alex, who unapologetically jumped in the middle of Carrie’s dance number and killed it???? He looked so happy up there! And at the end, the “You’re making me blush” when the crowd was cheering??? And then Luke and Reggie grinning at him when he got back because they know how much he loved that and they don’t care at all BECAUSE THEY’RE SO FREAKING SUPPORTIVE OH MY G OD

Reggie?? who loves interacting with Julie’s family?? obviously supposed to be the “dumb” one of the group, but he didn’t really give off that vibe?? and who sounded INCREDIBLE IN HIS STAND TALL SOLO???

or or maybe it’s Luke. oh my god. his whole storyline?? with his parents?? UNSAID EMILY??????????? I thought I was READY. I thought, after seeing him with them on his birthday, that it wouldn’t be so bad. it pulled at my heartstrings, but I could take it. all was good. NOPE.

on a happier note, his chemistry with EVERYONE??? I love love love LOVE him and Julie so much that it hurts, but him singing to Reggie and grabbing his face and leaving him completely flustered afterward? Reggie’s voice breaking and the “So girls, right? *nervous laughter*” I YELLED

AND THE SONGS. THEY’RE ALL BOPS??? every single one of them. I personally love Other Side of Hollywood and Stand Tall. 

I was really pleasantly surprised by this show. I was expecting something overdramatic like a lot of high school shows are. neither of the main couples feel forced at all. they’ve all got great chemistry. And after the first episode, when I saw Mr. Kenny Ortega was directing, I knew this would be good!

also I kind of watched the entire show the night it came out, so I really need Netflix to green light a SEASON TWO

][Valentine's Day Alphabet for Sal][ A || B || C || D || E || F || G || J || K || L || N || O || P || S || V || X || Y || Z

@blind-mutant

A   :   AFFECTION.   how does your muse show affection?

He's so mean but affectionate bumps against you and constant teasing. Sal gives you a personalised nickname and he's like that one cat that runs and slams your room door open. He likes giving the occasional piece of jewelry that he steals and definitely a lot of kisses and dragging someone into his own touches and comfort. He likes things at his own pace.

B   :   BOUQUET.   does your muse like flowers? which ones are their favourite?

Oh yeah, he has a soft spot for bouquets because they're the Big Thing of romance. Sal hides it because he knows that its dumb and cheesy to like bouquets but if Rhys got him one? Bashful stuttering and name calling but he absolutely gives them water and tries to keep them alive for a long time while brushing his fingers against them. He obviously loves purple flowers but Sal admittedly likes roses because they are the Romance Icon.

C   :   CHOCOLATE.   does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

Y es. It's the number one way Rhys can get normal affection out of Sal (Rhys: the bigger the treat, the longer I can love him because it takes him longer to get through it). Thoguh it's so hard to pick a specific??? Sal just...loves chocolate. He's that guy who says that his favourite is whatever he's eaten less than five minutes ago.

D   :   DATE.   what is your muse’s ideal date? where / who with / etc?

Probably going out to somewhere that's busy and drinking, something that can easily be passed off as a get between for friends more than a date. So definitely going out to a fair or clubbing rather than a dinner between him and Rhys. Though, Sal wouldn't argue against having take out and watching a movie in the dark. He definitely likes being with someone who can joke about and tease him.

E   :   EMBRACE.   does your muse like hugs? what are their hugs like?

Depsite what he says, Sal does enjoy hugs. He likes the warmth and the way he feels...closed in but in a good way. It's nothing like being pinned down and forcefully reminded that he's weak beyond his powers. Hugs are nice and Sal can relax into them and just be safe for a moment. His hugs are warm and Sal tends to grab on and spend a few moments burying his face into your neck to enjoy the moments of quiet.

F   :   FLIRT.   is your muse good at flirting? how do they flirt?

Sal's flirting is rather smooth when he wants to be and a lot of the time it's rather sexual. Over time with someone, he knows exactly what buttons to push so that really helps in getting what he wants out of them. Rhys is easy to flirt with because Sal knows that he loves it when he's being mean.

G   :   GIFT.   is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?

Sal isn't all that good at gift giving, mostly because he doesn't have the exact idea on what people could want. Mostly because his first reaction is jewelry or his body. Sal also doesn't have the best reactions if someone doesn't like his gifts since it's just a sign that "oh the don't want my stuff??? They don't want me" mentality.

J   :   JEALOUSY.   does your muse get jealous in a relationship?

For sure, Sal cannot stand the idea of sharing anyone because it's only a matter of time before they release they're better off without him or they want him to leave so they can have something special. He's desperate for wanting to be kept or stay around and this rears its head in very ugly manners.

K   :   KISS.   is your muse a good kisser? why / why not?

Sal likes to pride himself on his kisses because he likes showing off to his partner and that he can show them a good time. He likes taking advantage of what his partner enjoys. Plus he has a very hot mouth so that's always fun to make out with.

L   :   LOVE.   who does your muse love?

He loves his owls because they're his and Sal loves everyone at his work for being the fun friends he never had. He especially loves Bex for being the one to give him his job and to be so...loving. He loves her in the way Sal hasn't loved someone in a very long time.

Sal still loves his family depsite everything. He wants to go back one day and see whether his father made a grave for his sister (oh the woes of not being told that your sister lived). He misses his dad more than Sal would ever like to admit.

And admittedly, Sal still loves Cecil in a way. She groomed him and raped him, but it still doesn't wipe away memories of her giving him outfits and teaching him dancing. Everything gets blurry when he thinks back on her and what exactly he felt, but Sal figures that there's no point, not when Rhys is there.

Rhys is...he's a lot. Sal finds himself eager to see him and looks forward to anything Rhys has to say. He enjoys the warmth of leaning against Rhys and feeling hands stroke his hair and rub his back and the kisses on his back and neck. He loves the hot angry sex and has a growing fondness for the giggly softer sex that they have so rarely but Sal finds himself aching more for. He has more fantasies of kissing Rhys and being held now and that's absolutely horrifying.

N   :   NAUGHTY.   what is your muse like in bed?

Sal is, as you know, very dominating and charge taking. He knows that he wants the power and can't trust anyone else with it so its much better to have Rhys on his back and moaning from Sal's actions and Sal's entire being. He likes sex as a power playing game that he'll win or die trying or as something to play and punish Rhys for. He likes having attention on himself and Sal enjoys making Rhys feel real good and to make him not want anyone else.

O   :   ODE.   does your muse have a way with words?

If you're looking for someone to talk shit? Then Sal has an excellent array of insults and jabs. However, he isn't so nearly eloquent in discussing his feelings or telling Rhys stuff. It causes Sal a little frustration that he'll never really say anything that's as meaningful or good sounding as Rhys does.

P   :   PARTNER.   what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?

He wants someone who's pretty because Sal is shallow but also because if they're pretty, it means that they understand the effort he puts into his appearance and will probably put in just as much effort. Though Sal ruins that by constantly looking for people who tend to be dangerous and bad for him. He needs his other braincell so he can have someone to bounce and perform terrible ideas with.

S   :   SWEETHEART.   did your muse have a childhood sweetheart?

Not exactly? Sal wasn't really allowed to interact with many kids because Giles was afraid that he'd give away Perigee so he was always kept close by. Doesn't mean that Sal didn't pay attention to the kids around him and form a small crush on a girl dropped her ball and asked for Sal to pass it back one time. She did it every time he came and it was Sal's favourite part of visiting the human town until Giles caught on and made Sal move to the other side of him and started passing the ball back instead.

The girl stopped doing it eventually and stopped looking at Sal when she noticed that his skin started gaining pitch black pigments among the bone white.

V   :   VALENTINE.   how does your muse feel about valentine’s day?

Annoyed by it. It's a holiday where he has to work longer hours because of the lonely souls there and it's a time where he's gotta set up three different dates because his scams want to take him out that night. Also, he does not look good in red lingerie (in Sal's own opinion) and he always needs to take the next day of to sleep over the extra use of his power and any possible injuries.

X   :   XOXO.   does your muse use / like pet names?

He does use them and often they tend to be something to annoy someone or something to show his affection of them. Sal is fifty/fifty about his own pet names depending on how offensive they may be. All nicknames regarding his height earn Sal's ire but Starshine? He's gotten soft for it, much to his own chargin.

Y   :   YOURS.   does your muse get protective easily?

If possessive counts as protective? Then yes. Sal gets anxious if he thinks Rhys might be in danger or doing dangerous shit so this leads to overly aggressive displays of affection and Sal attempting to bully Rhys into staying safe and doing whatever dangerous thing himself. Yeah, he's soft, but he can also explode into a red hot alien Rhys!! No he isn't crying, shut your face and hide in his bed to put that mouth to some good use and practice on a dildo u stupid moonass!!

Z   :   ZZZ.   how many people has your muse slept with?

Sal likes bragging that he's slept with hundreds but really it's only around twenty or so. It's a lot harder to find people who would let a 4'9 pretty boy fuck them and Sal has a harder time with women after Cecil. Add the alien shit??? And that's how most of his late nights are with people who ask him to "probe" them and proving themselves enough for him to take them to his home planet. He always feels a little empty after these nights so of course Rhys has become his favourite man ever.

sv 6.04

spoiler-filled recap post under the cut

WHAT THE FUCK

i swear every single episode is gonna have me feeling like that because IT’S SO INTENSE i think i’ve forgotten how intense this show is because it’s prior to the release of s6 it’s been 2 years since i watched new episodes? and so i just know the storylines quite well and am familiar with everything?

but jesus christ!!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

okay let’s start at the beginning:

FUCK ethan!!

WHAT THE FUCK

I had the vague inkling of a feeling that bringing on ethan would be the same as bringing on the carver, russ hanneman, jack barker, etc. in that it would seem to be good at first and then it would magnificently blow up AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WHAT THE FUCK

there were so many intertwined storylines in this episode? i feel like there were more than usual? there was: richard and his conflict with ethan; gavin’s book thing; monica’s misadventures with feminism; gilfoyle’s budding friendship with john stafford (I STAN); jared’s story with his parents and gwart

THERE WAS SO MUCH.

last episode my fingers couldn’t keep up with my thoughts because it was such an amazing uplifting kickass episode, but this time i just feel, i dunno, kind of clogged with feelings/thoughts because there was a lot that happened in this episode and it was................ MOSTLY SAD????? mostly unpleasant?????? like it was a great episode but all the things that happened to the characters were like ... real shitty

HOLY SHIT the guy who plays ethan is SO GOOD at playing the role of the emotionally manipulative jackass prick who mistreats you and then acts like you’re the shitty one if you don’t ‘play along with the fun’ and so on like HOLY MOTHERFUCKER those types of people are the fucking worst and god i wish richard’s punch hand gotten him in the mouth instead or something (more on that later)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was so terrible to richard! it fucking hurt! i was with dinesh! i watched richard’s balls getting kicked and my balls hurt in solidarity!! fuck!!

????!

richard what are you doing

it was, no lie, a little nice and fuzzy and heartwarming to see dinesh like sticking up for richard and trying to help him

even if it’s through the ‘dumbest thing i’ve ever seen’, that alpha male video. 

WHAT WAS THAT

THAT WAS LEGIT like something out of IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA what the FUCK

i don’t object to it being in the show because, y’know, it’s within the bounds of the absurdities of the show and so on, but

WHAT! that had the exact same energy as the fight milk ads!!

i really like that richard’s initial reaction was ‘this is the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen’. what a shame he succumbed to it!!! ........but at least it wasn’t something worse that he succumbed too i guess???

POOR RICHARD

this is one of those episodes where i am entirely on richard’s side and have no complaints about him, he didn’t do anything wrong

omg i just remembered when he caught ethan’s eye in the opening scene and waved him in because of ‘dumb social shit’ (#relatable) ................WAS THAT BECAUSE HE WAS REFLEXIVELY REGRESSING TO HIS DOWNTRODDEN WAYS from when he was ethan’s report and was consistently having to defer to him and put up with his shit? and that’s why when ethan motions to like invite himself into richard’s office, that’s why richard just invites him in?

yeah that’s my opinion now

........

IT HURTS

IT HURTS WATCHING RICHARD GET KICKED AROUND BY ETHAN

WHAT THE FUCK DUDE

this is one of those times when richard’s like, trying to do a good/right thing and be nice and so on WHEN HE SHOULDN’T BE. like when he was ‘trying to respect’ erlich by refusing to hire jared patakian despite erlich giving him his blessing. and (to a lesser extent) when he went to have those chats with seth after gilfoyle stole the endframe login credentials, and when he gifted laurie some pied piper credits (where they credits? don’t remember the word)

UGH he was trying to be ~chill~ and not so uptight and so on BUT NO THIS IS NOT THE TIME RICHARD and no this is not what being a cool/nice person is! it is not putting up with this kind of shit!

i just felt so bad for him!!!

WHAT THE FUCK IS ETHAN’S PROBLEM

god what a cock

I’M SO GLAD RICHARD PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE and honestly??? i wish the punch had fucking landed!! for once i’m sick of richard being an ineffectual klutz! i want him to try to kick ass and succeed!!! god!!

that’s what i want out of season 6, one (1) time when richard tries to do something physically badass like socking a deserving douchebag in the face and actually succeeds

can’t fucking believe he bought into dinesh’s dumbfuck alpha male video. UGH RICHARD

i mean at..........at least it makes him........feel better? idk

(in my personal hc richard manages to watch that fucking always sunny style video and not develop misogynistic tendencies as consequence because that would be lame if it happened)

I JUST HAD TO TAKE A BREAK FROM WRITING THIS RECAP BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH AN INTENSE EPISODE

6.3 was intense in the same way that like an adrenaline-fuelled ultimately victorious battle is intense, or like, idk, the lovechild of MDMA and acid???

6.4 is intense like the COMEDOWN. god

IT IS THE COMEDOWN, it’s the terrible fucking low that occurs in the wake of the soaring high of buying hooli!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay so that’s the richard storyline covered

um

y’know i was suspicious when ethan wanted to move things onto hooliphones, i thought it was maybe some kind of thing to sabotage pied piper in some way? but now i see maybe it’s just a way to get himself a job. and the bullying of richard is a way to soothe his own fragile ego i guess? hmm

gilfoyle’s friendship with john stafford! I LOVE IT! i love that the guy from the underground pits of jack barker’s box plan has returned! and he announces each hooliphone the way he announced each box ... excellent callback. AND THEY PLAY CHESS! AND HE BEAT GILFOYLE EVERY SINGLE TIME! YES!!! 

GILFOYLE WHY DID YOU DELETE HIS FRIEND REQUEST

YOU WERE GONNA ACCEPT IT

YOUR CURSOR WAS HOVERING

WHY THE FUCK

some kind of lame-as-fuck attempt to maintain an idea of power in the dynamic? viewing the vulnerability of accepting a friend request as somehow being weak/lame?? just upset because he lost so many chess games??

hope it’s the the last one becaues that’s the least lame/sad of the three i thinkkkk

also his fucking feed full of dinesh hate. what a loser lmao perfectly suited to dinesh

i want them to kiss

ummmmmmmm monica!! lmao i enjoyed how they made her a female character who is successful but not actually personally interested in being a feminist activist, because i think that’s a thing that’s pretty real/relatable. like, you can be a woman who believes in gender equality but who doesn’t actually do stuff to actively advocate for it, and i think that’s a lot of people, and honestly i don’t think i’m quite like monica (i wouldn’t say the things she said about foxhole HAHAHHA) but i relate to it! i’m not a very politically active person at all, my ~activism is limited to being generally educated on stuff and calling out/discussing shitty things if friends/colleagues say them. so i guess i felt seen? #guiltyfeminist

when monica went to the panel........... and then priyanka totally outshone her ........ i felt a little bad for monica but she was pawning off foxhole to priyanka entirely selfishly because she herself didn’t want to be involved and so i didn’t feel too bad for her :pp

good on priyanka! all that stuff  she’s doing sounds awesome!

except the beginning where she referenced her ‘network of awesome women coders’ or something like that, i found that phrasing uhhhhhhh cringey. cliquey. didn’t like it, but that’s just my subjective feeling. also i suspect it was meant to be a little satirical of uberwokeness so fair :P

richard giving monica foxhole ‘for optics’ and then doing the handwavey ‘just make it work, for women’ ........ a brilliant sad-funny representation of extremely superficial and empty meaningless ‘feminism’

laurie lasering in on gwart because she’s also eating that vegetable in a weird way! nice.

OKAY JARED? JARED

FUCK

we see him set up in pied piper’s offices meaning he at least took up richard’s offer which is nice

his parents?

fuck ‘em

they deserve to rot, obviously

sociopaths

i............................... it was an upsetting scene, i’m not sure why it’s in the show............ perhaps to give rise to jared’s whole ‘i must have rejected them and rejected everyone else who’s been kind’ thing that he’s doing in a desperate bid to understand/make sense of his suffering ....... which gives rise to his thing about rejecting richard...

i guess maybe he’s doing that thing where he’s repeating past cycles of trauma/abandonment? that’s what’s (at least partially) driving his stubborn refusal to rejoin richard? is it that he (on some not-necessarily-conscious level) believes himself unworthy of happiness and self-sabotages? and all of that mixes with his fear of fucking up pied piper with his feelings (the way he did in 6.1) and that keeps him away from richard?

I DON’T KNOW IT’S COMPLICATED AND MAKES ME SAD

that thing he said about how he has to stay with gwart . .............. god this stupid entirely arbitrary rule he’s set for himself, it’s so fucking painful

ETHAN’S REPENTANCE WAS DUE TO THREAT FROM HOLDEN? WOW

um

good on you holden i guess!! .....?

i HATE the whole ‘jared threatening holden and emotionally abusing him into the perfect assistant for richard’ arc because that was painful and i feel like it was played for laughs but i didn’t find it funny or good at all

so in this case it was kinda vindicating to see holden no longer terrified of jared and kind of sassing him (’don’t you have somewhere to be’)

..............what was with the end of the cold open where richard’s like ‘holden i wanted water’??? or something? didn’t holden give him the water partway through ethan’s presentation? ugH

GWART FIRING JARED

FUCK YES! THANK YOU GWART

JARED TALKING ABOUT HOW HE’S FREE TO GO WITH RICHARD

HOLY FUCK

YEAH SO OF COURSE OUR BOY JARED WANTS TO BE WITH RICHARD and now that gwart (his temporarily chosen ‘leader’/person to be devoted to) has given him orders (and therefore permission) to fuck off, he CAN BE WITH RICHARD without feeling like he’s, i dunno, being disloyal.

HURRAH

so the episode ENDS on jared asserting that there is a space for him to be with richard? homg seems like 6.5 is gonna go HEAVY ON THE JARRICH again?????

HNNNG

this was a tense episode and i’m upset

like it was a decent episode, i didn’t think it was bad quality, i’m just sad

HEADRUSH BY MILKK

(with my commentary as i go on listening to the album)

90S BABY

- okay the beginning is very milkk-ey - man i already love this album - i dont udnerstan anything hes saying - these lyrics are so good its like, every single line is neccessary - those backing vo c  al s!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - i dont really know what to say,,, yeah me too oh my god - THAT WAS IT oh my thats such a good album opener

UNSAID - the transition from 90s baby!!!!!!!! - man pat is such a great producer he should go and produce like, ariana grande (to make her music better) - pat kiloran saying “chicks” is my kink - his voice??? in the “something should be , leftunsaid” ???? I LOVE - what i love about milkk is that you listen to a song and you just know its them because the production has so many signature elements

HERE IN MY HEAD  - ok i havent listened to this yet but i feel like this is going to be an introverted anthem something like how soon is now by the smiths - this is too relatable ugh i hate it and love it at the same time - agoraphobia oh man pat i feel you - i love the groovy guitar riff its so chill but very punchy at the same time - ??? there was like a second of complete silence wtf

THINKING BOUT U - ahhhhh i obviously already know this song but i love it so muchhh - ALL MY WORDS JUST GET IN THE WAY UWU UWU UWU IVE BEEN THINKING BOUT U BABY  - im bopping so hard rn i love this song - *snapping my fingers to the beat*

HONEST - i want to die to pat whisper-singing - the two founds at 0:37 sound so nice?? idk why but they do - oh my and the mines and- - this is such a great chill song, like you put it on and just lay in your bed ugh i need the cd - it doesnt even feel 4 and a half minutes long jesus

UP ON US - okay this was a single too but i dont know it that well - it sounds like a charlie puth song and i was OBSESSED with charlie puth in 2016 so i guess thats good? - THE GROOOOOOVE IN THE CHORUS UGH sometimes i really love being a bassist - idk if is counts as a falsetto but the chorus oh man i lo v e - also the backing vocals!!!!!!!!

THE GARDEN (I’LL BE ALRIGHT) - woo they put two singles in a row - the “i should’ve been an accountant” always makes me want to cry - everytime i hear “the garden” in the song im like YESYES THATS THE TITLE HE SAID THE TITLE even tho ive heard it probably 20 times by now lmao - milkk please collab with joji MEAN TO YOU - OH MY GOD THE RIFF!!!!! THE RIFF SOUNDS SO AWESOME AND SO ORGANIC - the riff is probably not that quality but its unexpected from milkk sksksk - this is probably the punkiest milkk will ever go so im E N J O Y  I N G (sorry, the swmrs album also came out today lmao) - YES IM BOPPING MY HEAD  - another second of random silence ??? - ooooh the random distortion at the end i  s t a n

STUPID - okay yeah another single (that i love with my whole heart) - pat calling himself dumb is a mood - his voice is so soothing ugh im not saying pat kiloran should do asmr but pat kiloran should do asmr - im tapping my feet and snapping my fingers at the same time ‘tis the power of milkk

HEADRUSH - Title Song™ - okay not to be depressing again but the robot voice is exactly how i imagine oppy talking - DID SHE SAY “WELCOME TO OUR HEADRUSH” - i dont really know what to say intensifies - *insert a clip of me saying pat kiloran is a great producer* - “you dont even know who i am” oh my god thats true i really dont - that bass drop oofh

I THOUGHT I LOST YOU - AN ACOUSTIC SONG AKSJDSHDFSHJ I WASNT EXPECTING THIS AAAA - THIS IS SO BEAUTIUL OH MY GOD I AM CRYING!!! AND IM NOT EVEN A PERSON THAT CRIES OFTEN OH MY G  OD  - THIS IS SUCH A HEARTBREAKING SONG BUT IN A GOOD WAY  - can i claim this song - THE FALSETTOS - okay im claiming this song - THIS SOUNDS LIKE ITS A CAMPFIRE SETTING - @ milkk please perform at our campfire on school trips - can my parents please stop blasting adele i need to appreciate this beauty - its so soft and gentle but at the same time so powerful

ANNALISE - damn, 6 minutes - “i think i met you on a monday, what were you wearing?” is such an adhd mood lmao i remember such dumb stuff and dates and names but my visual memory is so horrible - this is such a beautiful song too oh my god and the lyrics - i feel like time has stopped while listening to this song - how did they do that - not many bands can do this to me oh my god - the instrumental sounds sometimes like the beginning to lazarus by david bowie ugh why am i crying again - god so. so that was it. the debut full-length album by milkk. headrush. and i have no words. i love this record so so much, it makes me feel at peace but want to dance at the same time and i think that’s perfect. also i’m so proud of the boys? like i bet you, one day they’re going to become so huge, selling out big arenas and appearing on international charts. and i can say i’ve been here since basically day one

RDR2 Headcanon - Abigail confronts Arthur

I had a headcanon idea pop into my head as I was playing last night; Abigail finding out about Eliza and Isaac. This would be in the first half of the party for Sean, in Chapter 2 - specifically, before Abigail rounds on a drunk John Marston, calling him despicable.

This turned out to be a long one, so I’m adding a read-more. Spoilers for Arthur’s past, but otherwise there’s nothing past chapter 2 revealed.

It had been just another peaceful evening at Horseshoe Overlook, with the sun lazily easing down toward the horizon, with nothing to announce its descent but the night insects. That is, until Sean returned with a show of triumph and boister. 

Even though he’s the one had to be rescued, Abigail Roberts thought to herself. For her, the ensuing and, she knew, inevitable night of drinking and debauchery was as irritating as it was amusing. And, when she thought about it, vexing. She didn’t think most of them were so much happy to see Sean as they were just ready to pounce on any excuse to drink. Buncha grown-ass men...must be nice to not have a damn thing to worry about. 

An hour or so after Sean started the party off, she found herself sitting near Arthur, Charles, and Bill, with Arthur and Bill bickering over something while Charles just watched on.

“I’m tellin’ ya Morgan, I’d’a been fine even if you n’ Javier didn’t come get me. I was just tryin’ ta time my escape right.”

Not this again...

“Yer fulla shit, Bill. They had you trussed up good. Y’ain’t lucky like Little John.”

Abigail stiffened up.

“See, that’s another thing! Why is it, Marston gets bit by a wolf and is laid up for weeks, and he’s some kinda hero, but I get captured by bounty hunters for a coupla hours, and I’m the one can’t do anythin’ right? I’m the idiot?”

“That’s ‘cause you ARE an idiot, Bill! But, ya got a point. That boy can’t do nothin’ wrong, seems like. Disappears for a year, runs out on his boy and woman, just comes back ‘n everyone acts like nothin’ happened.” Abigail stood up as he went on. “Then he gets hisself lost in the mountains, n’ me n’ Javier gotta-” Arthur stopped in surprise when Abigail put herself in front of him, hands on her hips, hurt and anger plain in her eyes.

“Can I talk to you, Arthur?”

“Ah, I... yes, Abigail.”

Abigail walked briskly off toward the guards’ fire with a cowed Arthur in tow, pretending not to hear the hoots from Bill.

“Look, Abigail, I’m sorry I brought all that up again, but you know I-”

“What is it with you, Arthur Morgan?” Se could no more keep from cutting him off than she could keep the hurt out of her voice.

“I..w-... what are ya...” His stammering didn’t come off charming at all.

“He’s back. He’s changin’, little by little; I believe that. But why can’t you just let it be? Why are you the one keeps bringin’ that back up, openin’ that wound again? You just like twistin’ the knife in my belly?”

“No, Abigail... look, I’m sorry, it’s just somethin’ that’s hard for me to let go of, since, well...”

“Since what, Arthur? And don’t you dare try tellin’ me it’s ‘cause of me, cause this ain’t helpin’ me. Y’ain’t never been a parent before, Arthur, so you can’t know what it’s like to try raisin’ a boy on your own with his father doin God knows what, and now he’s back, so why can’t you just let me have this for now? I mean-” 

Abigail stopped when she saw Arthur’s face. Even in the warm, dancing light of the fire, she could see it had lost all its color, and that his mouth was hanging open in disbelief. She wondered what it was that she said, thinking, was it when I said it wasn’t for me? Or... wait... no... oh, no...

“... Arthur... there somethin’ you ain’t told me?”

Watching his face, it was like time started moving again. He must’ve realized what he’d given away, since his eyes started darting around, looking for an escape route.

“Ah, no, I just... nah, you’re right, Abigail. What could I know? I’m just a dumb cowboy. Excuse me. Have a good night.”

He made to move past her, and something in her got angry again. Oh no, you stupid man. You’re not shuttin’ down on me now. She caught his arm as he moved past her, and when he wheeled around to look at her, she saw in his turquoise eyes a mix of irritation, and.... fear.

“Arthur. What’s goin’ on with you?”

“Look, I... it’s just, John don’t know how good he’s got it. He’s got a good woman who loved ‘im and waited for ‘im, ‘n I got Mary Gillis.” He was getting angry, and the drink was pushing him further. “No, sorry, Linton. Who wouldn’t wait for me cause I weren’t good enough, and John? He ran out on his boy and his woman when he had a chance to have a family, when I don’t even have that chance since my boy died."

Arthur looked like he'd accidentally shot himself as that horrible word hung in the silence between them. Died. Disbelief and dismay were plain on his face, and his eyes were glimmering with more pain than Abigail thought she'd ever seen in a man before.

What's more, Abigail could feel her own heart ripping in half as Arthur turned around, obviously not wanting his face to be seen.

"Oh, Arthur, I... I didn't know. I'm so... I'm so sorry."

She knew the words were tumbling out and falling flat, but she still needed to say them. Oh, Arthur... Arthur, Arthur....

She could see his shoulders starting to shake lightly, but he wasn't making any sounds. She didn't know what to say, so she did the only thing she could think of: she put a hand and her forehead on his broad, dependable back, which tonight seemed all the stronger for the burden it's been carrying, to let him know she's there.

Finally, she heard a queer, low rumbling sound, which she eventually realized was Arthur's voice.

"... just a boy... she was just a kid herself, n' I wasn't there when... when they came and..."

She was starting to get it now. They hadn't gone nice. And he felt guilty.

"Arthur, it weren't your fault... I'm sure you did the best you could." The way his voice was shaking was making tears well up in her eyes.

"It weren't for me, Eliza wouldn'na been made a single mama in the first place, and I couldn't make her and the boy live this life, neither... it was all my fault. I should’ve... well, I should’a never got her pregnant, but I also shouldn’a left them alone so much.”

His voice was going back to normal, and he seemed to be coming back from the depths of his grief. She just wanted him to let go of this burden a little, but the next thing he said caught her off guard.

“And John knows.”

That felt like a punch to the gut, and when Arthur finally turned around to look at her, cheeks vaguely wet and eyes red, she saw anger coming through the grief.

“He... what?”

“I said, he knows about Eliza. And Isaac. We were as brothers, for years. He knows I wanted to be a daddy to that boy,” his voice cracked a bit there, “and here he is, runnin’ away from his own. I’m sorry, Abigail, it’s just too much for me sometimes. And it’s hard for me to forgive.”

This was starting to be too much for her, too. 

“I’m... sorry, Arthur. I didn’t know. I thought you might’a had some grudge over somethin’ stupid, like... well, I dunno what like, I just... I’m sorry, Arthur.”

“Yeah, well... now you know. Just... don’t go tellin’ others in the camp about this, okay? Please.”

“Of course, Arthur... look, I know you’re not the type for this, but...”

And she hugged him, wrapping her arms around his waist, putting her head on his chest. Partly as an apology, partly to comfort him. After a brief moment of surprise, he hugged her back, and gave her body a squeeze with his arms as an understood “thank you.” She felt hot tears roll down her face finally, staining his shirt.

And with a sniffle and an awkward smile, she left Arthur to be alone. In the distance, she saw John drinking with a couple of the others at the table in front of Pearson’s wagon. That idiot. That fool. Before she even realized it, she was storming over toward them.

She wasn’t quite sure what she was going to say, though, so she hung back near Pearson’s cutting table.

“Hello, Abigail.” John’s voice held some thinly-veiled anticipation, his words dripping with booze.

When she didn’t respond, he seemed confused, but a certain anxiety started dawning on him.

“What?” This time more flippantly.

“John Marston, you are a despicable man.”

[the-rxven-king]

uhhhh character asks - sera or maybe zevran?

send me a character name and i’ll tell you three things i have in common with them and three things i don’t

oh shit sera is hard cause tbh im aight with her but shes??? not my favorite.... but hey ill give er a go anyway (plus i never take her anywhere and dont know the full extent of her personality so oops)

ill also do zevran just for fun but im putting it under a cut

sera

similar: i guess were both really impulsive??? i mean im like 99% sure shes impulsive. im very impulsive. i only hesitate sometimes or if its me having to do something on my own in front of a shit ton of people. otherwise im just gonna do shit without thinking about it, and i feel like sera also does shit without thinking about it. so similar. she also says things like “yea?” or “right?” a lot, and i also do that because i... never make sense when i talk and i need clarification, and also thats just the style i speak in. oh!!! and were both gay. thats something we have in common.

different: oh boy. boy oh boy. well i guess first things first is that i dont prank people. i mean id love to, itd probably be funny, but im way too anxious and i also wouldnt want to actually hurt someones feelings or ruin their day or anything like that cause im just not that kinda guy??? like id need their permission first. sera just fuckin.... goes for it. Does Not Care. also something different is like i dont see the appeal of qunari??? maybe thats because Big Muscle Men scare the holy fuckin shit out of me and i dont find them terribly attractive - tall is attractive muscley is not - but sera is just like all over qunari (am i the only one who gets slightly uncomfortable when she talks about qunari women??? its not like a lot but its like.... eu gh?? i dont know man) and im not really about that life. seras also just... way more brash than i am??? i mean ill be brutally honest, but i wont just straight up be like, just to give paraphrased example from in game “oh youre too elfy for me i dont like it” i keep that shit to myself??? i aint gonna look at a person and be like “youre too much of a brat for me to hang out with but go off i guess” ill take it for as long as im required then just not fuckin talk to em again i wont tell them that. idk man. im honest and open as i feel is comfortable, i dont just run my mouth like that

zevran 

similar: i feel safe enough to say im as loyal as zevran is??? like ill stick with my friends until the bitter end honestly like if your friends with me im on your side unless you show yourself to be someone who isnt worth my loyalty or my trust and friendship. oh we both like expensive things because thats very good i would love to be able to own an entire bar of gold but yknow im not that lucky finance wise but i like that. im also really like... closed off about loving people? im loyal-ish sure but i dont trust with my heart too easily. i want to? but i also fuckin freak out when i like someone and then they actually like me back i just kinda go like “oh shit my fucki n g od oh n oi cant they gotta leav eme alone” idk im just bad at relationships because they dont!!!! happen very often. i have had One (1) relationship and it was great for a while and then my dumbass messed up so like i am not gonna give myself to someone like that again very easily! im a mess who wants a bf but also just doesnt want to fuck up again and doesnt want to deal with it

different: uuuummmm im not an assassin. i dont think i could ever kill a man like ever. if i did id be scarred for life. cant live that life. im also not as handsome as him so jot that the fuck down like have you SEEN zevran my good dude like holy shit that is one lovely elf. also hooooooooooooooly shit i do NOT flirt as much as zevran does i think if i did i would be dead by now. i cant flirt for the life of me and its crazy to me that zevran and other people can just straight up flirt with people and not feel dumb or something after like what the fuck how do you have that strength within you to do that i cant even think about doing that what the fuck

[xheartsigh]

Handful of love

taegi oneshot, 2k, fluff

Just something short but sweet for Gina (@wortmalerei), a very supportive and amazing friend of mine. I feel really lucky that I got to know you this year because I really feel like I can talk about anything with you, be it politics or ships and I’m really glad you bring new horizons into my life. I hope you spend your holidays feeling loved. I wish you a merry Christmas with thisTaegi fic that’s based on our shared love for the Daegu boys hand holding ♥

It all started in Hawaii.

Okay, maybe not 'all' but it mostly started because of Hawaii.

Of course, they held hands way before Bon Voyage too: occasionally, accidentally, without any of them noticing. It wasn't anything special, like Taehyung helping him onto his feet after an exhausting dance practice, hands sweaty but nice, a simple friendly gesture.

However, it started getting out of hand (in the most literate sense ever) after he carelessly exclaimed in the beginning of their bonding trip that whenever they disagreed, the would hold hands. So the act was inevitable because they had quite a lot of disagreements over the years, this month or even the week before. Their personalities were just too different: Taehyung was soft and warm and loud where Yoongi was harsh and cold and quiet. Not once he snapped at the younger for being so bubbly, tossed him away when he was being unnecessarily touchy or told him straight away that being born in Daegu didn't make them brothers. (Bangtan did.) They weren't on bad terms per se, luckily nobody in the group was. Yet, there was this transparent but solid wall between them ever since their debut days.

Yoongi remembers well the young Taehyung who came from the countryside with bright eyes when he was first introduced as a trainee. He remembers how the boy liked to cling onto him, following his trail everywhere after he found out they are from the same province. Like it changed anything, Yoongi would snort but he got it, he really did. The slur, the familiar dialect, the words he hadn't heard ever since he came to Seoul, it all reminded him of home. Taehyung reminded him of home.

But he didn't come to the capital from there to make friends, he was there to make music, to debut, to make his dreams come true, not to babysit a kid so he might have told Taehyung to hang out with the maknaes instead and don't bother him. Taehyung didn't listen, not at first but he was a good dongsaeng and with time he came to respect his request. He quickly befriended Jimin and opened up Jungkook's shell so the boys both were quite fond of him. It was hard not to.

"He has this kind of innocent brightness. Like Hosoek-ah. I hope he won't lose that," Jin, one of the older guys in the company told him and Yoongi hummed, still munching on the chicken they were eating, busy acting like he didn't care.

After debut not much changed in their relationship, if not that now they were co-workers and slept in one room. But with seven of them it wasn't that hard to keep distance. It wasn't awkward or a bad thing. They were still friends, just not as close as others and it was okay. Or so did Yoongi told himself.

He was professional enough to not let anything like this get between their work ethic. He loved Taehyung's deep, rusty voice, it was beautiful in its own league, soft as velvet, rich as honey and expensive as silk. Let Me Know was an untold ode to compliment his voice but it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Yoongi had heard him crying in the bathroom.

"They like me for my face, not my voice. I'm only here because of my looks..." he sobbed without ease and there was a painful pang Yoongi’s heart on the other side of the door.

"That's not true," Jimin soothed him but the worry was clearly written on the younger's face for a long time.

So when Yoongi asked him to do vocal check with him, Taehyung only gaped at him.

"Me? Not Jiminnie or Jungkookie?"

The rapper was almost annoyed, he didn't ask him to come here just to play dumb. Joking around with music wasn’t his habit.

"It has to be you. It's... it's written for a lower vocal range... like yours," he explained with a sigh and at that Taehyung's face brightened like Christmas lights.

So yeah, they aren't strangers, nor they hate each other but holding hands on purpose never really occurred to them before. But ever since Bon Voyage aired, people started pointing it out and it’s not just them seeing things.

The more their palms slot together in their own imperfectly perfect way, the more Yoongi is thinking about it. The texture of Taehyung's palm is now carved into the back of his mind. Every curve, the soft edges, his lifeline, the veins on the back of his hand. Yoongi could have said hand holding helps him relieve stress, however, he doesn't hold anybody's but Taehyung's so it would be a blatant lie.

Destiny must enjoy this way too much because she brings them together in the same team repeatedly whenever they are on camera. It's now a laughing matter if they end up together in the newest Run BTS episode because, of course, the boys won't ever let them live but it isn't the teasing, it isn't the stubbornness, it's merely for the sake of it when Yoongi unceremoniously grabs Taehyung's hand without an ounce of hesitation. He has grown to love holding the younger's hand and the two of them got so used to it, they take each other’s hands when they stand close without thinking. It became an instinct.

However, the way Taehyung flushes dust pink every single time is something Yoongi finds rather interesting (and cute but he would never say that aloud). As far as he knows Taehyung doesn't oppose skinship, in fact he likes to drape himself all over others. So why is it different?

But Taehyung could ask the same thing: what changed? Now that it's Yoongi who initiates skinship, always holding his hand so goddamn gentle like he doesn't ever want to let go?

It must have been unconscious, how the thing they do in front of the cameras sweeps off-camera too. Like Yoongi reaching for his hand whenever he wants to ask something or when they are watching movies side by side more often than not Yoongi sleeping in halfway through. It isn't that Taehyung minds because he really doesn't but it confuses him. What changed? He finds himself wondering from time to time again.

Once, when he keeps repeatedly ringing the bell of the Genius Lab just to find out the door isn’t locked, he steps into Yoongi’s holy territory cautiously.

"Hyung..." he clears his throat and the door shuts closed behind him with a loud thud, luckily so because that’s probably the only thing that’s able to snap the producer out of this zone he often gets into.

"Ah Tae..." Yoongi looks up from his computer and turns around to find him there startled. "Good thing you are here, I need a second opinion. How does this sound?"

Taehyung is ready to protest when he’s rushed closer since he only came because Jin told him to. The eldest asked him to check on the studio on his way back to the dorm and drag home that bastard who put his phone on silent and didn't answer any texts or calls. The house must be burning or Namjoon might broke another door handle if he needs Yoongi so bad. But okay, listening to one melody can't hurt.

Unless Yoongi yanks him closer by the hand to put the headphone over his ears and play the song, a piano one, as he absentmindedly plays with his fingers too while clicking from one file to another.

"Hyung..." he prompts carefully but Yoongi only hums. When the younger doesn't answer, the older guy turns around only to see him looking down at their mindlessly interlaced fingers. Yoongi's hand flinches on instinct, pulling away in a knee-jerk reaction like the contact burnt him and Taehyung looks up at him with wide caramel eyes, hurt, a deer caught in the headlights.

"Sorry," Yoongi apologizes, his gaze shifting anywhere but the younger's face. It's confusing, all these feeling inside of him, the burning want to touch and hold and caress.

"No... Don't be," Taehyung shakes his head, voice cracked and Yoongi furrows his brows. "Just don't give me false hope, hyung."

"What?" Yoongi's head snaps towards him so fast he's sure he got a mild whiplash. Taehyung wears a sad smile, one he would do for music videos and heartbroken roles but this one, it's honest and it shatters the rapper's heart into pieces just by seeing it.

"The melody is great by the way, dreamy, but Jin hyung wants you home, no objections," the vocalist says and leaves as quick as he came not even giving Yoongi a chance to react. But what could he have said anyway?

Maybe that's when he starts to realize those tiny things about Taehyung. The more he catches himself staring longer than he should, the more he actually sees under the surface of that always smiley face of Taehyung. And it's not just that now he wears Gucci instead of retailored stuff or that his jawline became more defined over the years. No, he really matured while keeping that childish light in him that Yoongi admired. But it's not the only thing he realizes by watching Taehyung a lot. He comes to the conclusion quite soon that the younger watches him too. The lingering glances through the mirror of the dance practice room or when they bump into each other in the dorm leaves tingling, electrifying sparks in their veins.

Days, even weeks pass and yet, he can't forget about what Taehyung said to him that day, it keeps him awake sometimes and on those nights it's hard to fight the urge to cuddle with the sleeping boy just to hold his hand. This yearning never ceases no matter his efforts and some days he just wants to say, fuck it, and give into the pull that keeps calling him towards the boy who appears in his dreams more and more nowadays. It's all innocent: just lying down, laughing, hugging, kissing and of course, hand holding.

When it happens, it isn't planned. It's just one of those nights when sleeping doesn't come easy and Yoongi shuffles out of his shared room with Jin to get a glass of water only to find Taehyung already in the kitchen, sitting on the counter and eating the left-over muffins his mother sent. He looks so shocked, caught red-handed for a moment but visibly relaxes when the older doesn't make any remarks on his behaviour and he resumes on chewing.

Yoongi can't help but wonder how he could look so good in his weird fashionista PJs, with messy hair. Pink coloring his pale cheeks he turns to fill his cup with water.

“Can't sleep?” he coughs and then feels the urge to facepalms himself immediately because he has always been terrible at small talks.

“Ah yeah, just thinking too much,” Tae answers behind him and the rapper doesn't dare to ask him about what. Or should he? He holds his cup so aggressively, his knuckles are turning white and even the refreshing water can't make the swell of his heart better. “And you?”

“The same, I guess. Something keeps bugging me lately,” he admits and the younger is actually braver than him being so straightforward when he asks the question he should have:

“What?” he mumbles and Yoongi puts the glass down, finally turning around to face him again. Taehyung is looking at him through his lashes, expectantly and a smirk tugs Yoongis mouth at that.

“About something you said,” he shrugs casually walking straight up to the sitting boy who is even more taller like this and it gives him an idea. "Give me that," he points at Taehyung's right hand that has crumbs on it so he wipes it down in his sweatpants but complies. It's a bit sweaty but the warmth of it feels so good.

"Now the other one," Yoongi demands and when he has both hands in his, he pulls Tae closer by them and eventually drags him down from the kitchen counter. He's too tall for that anyway. "Who said you it's false hope?"

It's not perfect: their noses bump into each other, the angle is awkward at first but Taehyung tastes sweet like those desserts he just had and the way he melts into him so gentle and pliant under his touch, Yoongi thinks he found the next best thing after holding hands with Taehyung: kissing with him.

falsettos proshot things

ok now that i’ve slept on my Emotions™, i think i can finally make this post. more under the cut because this got long:

generally throughout the performance there were a lot more spoken dialogue things after a lot of the lines as an afterthought and it was really nice

at the very beginning of “four jews” when they’re all wearing those wigs and costumes, a bit of whizzer’s wig gets caught in his mouth and he makes a really big deal about getting it out and idk it made me laugh

at the end of “a tight-knit family”, marvin pulls whizzer’s hair back and oh my g od it was a Lot™ so long live the hair pulling kink

during “hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis” they zoom in on whizzer and he’s just like “hepatitis?!” and looks really worried but in a comical manner

hoo boy guys i can definitely tell you that they did not gloss over the “daddy’s kissing boys” kiss like it was a full on make out i was not disappointed. 

thrill of first love was amazing like all of it was shot so well. the angles, the zooming in on their faces, everything. whizzer and marvin were also laughing and smiling a lot during “the fight” which was really nice

after “that is so sincere...” whizzer gives marvin a little peck and when marvin leans in for more, whizzer whispers “that’s it” and gets up

the Mendel Boner™ was strong during “marvin at the psychiatrist”  and honestly brandon was so funny and extra in the proshot all the way through and b o y i love him

when marvin asks “would he kill you” they zoom in on marvin’s face and his eye twitches when he says “...yes.”

the fading out of “marvin at the psychiatrist” into “my father’s a homo” was the funniest thing

anthony rosenthal is so talented and too good for this world

jason’s little retching sound after trina’s like “i could take you to the jewish center” made me snicker

whizzer glared at marvin for so long after he flicks his head in “everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist”

oh my gosh christian borle is so good like he was honestly so terrifying in “this had better come to a stop” and whizzer looked so scared and anxious the entire song

they changed “asshole” to “jackass” and honestly is that any better???

like,,, stephanie j. block was robbed i’m breaking down stole the show

there’s one part where she’s touching herself and then she grabs her boobs and is like “oh that feels so good” under her breath and i was trying so hard not to laugh because the theater was otherwise quiet as she kept on singing

the banana belt is so Iconic™

“i don’t have time for a breakdown! i have to get back to my banana carrot surprise!” *eye twitch*

throughout act one, the camera kept cutting to jason and he just. looked so done all the time #relatable

the dancing in “jason’s therapy” is just. amazing

all of “a marriage proposal” was just so pure and stephanie j. block and brandon uranowitz have such good chemistry

when mendel does his “biblical times” line, marvin gives him a little sarcastic thumbs-up

during “a tight-knit family (reprise)” when marvin is talking about having a loving wife, whizzer looks like a mix of sadness and anger and i  l o v e  that the proshot kept the other characters in mind during solos and stuff

god the camera got so close during “the chess game” and you could see the raw emotion during their fight and oh my goodness that song wrecked me

they changed “this game shits” to “chess ain’t how your boyfriend thinks” and i love that a lot more wow because 1. boyfriend 2. it shows a lot more of whizzer’s anger and the whole reality of the situation they’re in and w o w

marvin reaches out to touch whizzer at the end when they’re fighting and he just slaps his hand away like the anger was real

whizzer was just packing his clothes in his suitcase during “making a home” and well if that wasn’t one of the most heartbreaking moments of the night

and then right after you’ve got “the games i play” so william finn just loves watching us suffer doesn’t he

andrew killed that song, as expected (#robbed)

christian borle, yet again, shows how versatile he his and how much rage he can project in “marvin hits trina”

when trina and whizzer sing “we had fights and games” etc., trina stands up and looks past marvin to whizzer and they both just. ugh the emotion

after whizzer says “do i love him? no.” the theater was completely silent and there was just 10 seconds of silence as marvin’s face fell before he went “i am so dumb.”

and then after that he spent another like 15 seconds walking around the set to the back and it was so silent that when he punched the bits of the cube with a loud thunk all of us in the theater were scared out of our seats

whizzer making the sound of the slap was so much more

marvin being like “oh baby i didn’t--” quietly once he realizes what he’s done

jason’s face through this whole number was just so heartbroken and scared and betrayed and sad but especially so after marvin slaps his mother

trina just sobs into her hands once the beginning of “i never wanted to love you” starts and once she uncovers her face and starts to sing, the camera zooms in and you can see the tears in trina’s eyes

father to son was emotional as ever and you could see the tears in both marvin and jason’s eyes at the end

there was no intermission and i’m salty about that

when mendel says “homosexuals”, he pointed his little airport light things to two specific people, and that was funny enough, but then the camera panned outward and he kind of just pointed to the whole crowd and it was so much funnier

whizzer punching the nancy reagan blow up doll saved my life

everyone was so happy when the lesbians arrived it was so nice

cordelia’s apron said “cordelia’s catering on it”!!

honestly i don’t remember much of act two’s details because i was like trying to brace myself for what was coming but like the same things i talked about apply like the raw emotion in the character’s faces and just like little things they said under their breaths here and there that just made the play more real

jason’s dancing in “year of the child” was so precious 

marvin was so thirsty in “the baseball game” i cry, and when he was doing his touching whizzer’s hair bit, whizzer spun around and gave him the same glare from the “everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist” bit

rip caroline

trina and mendel were like playing and being like nice-feisty while they were exercising i don’t know how to describe it but sjb and brandon have such good chemistry

charlotte tasted cordelia’s failed cooking and smiled, and when cordelia was turned away she spit it out and it was so pure and funny 

cordelia’s little “yay?” in “a day in falsettoland” was so funny like she paused for like five seconds before saying it

ok guys,,, i think andrew rannells is just fucking hung because like the bulge was there

or the pants might just be really awkward

either way, andrew rannells is packing and those costumes were so much

“everyone hates his parents” was so good like jason’s and mendel’s choreography was so synchronized and i love their relationship

the “flip me” part was so intense like brandon uranowitz fucking went for it and he flipped jason so fast

his failed cartwheel made the entire theater burst into laughter i love him

in “what more can i say”, andrew was like sitting up with marvin and nestled right into his neck, and before he rolled over, he gave marvin a lil kiss and aw i love their chemistry

and before he rolled over and was nestled against marvin, marvin started to run his fingers up and down his back so tenderly and it was so Pure™

i mean and then he went and did the “that’s the simple truth” thing where he lifted up the blanket and had that stupid smile on his face and well it may not have been pure but it was wholesome

when the song ended and he rolled to snuggle against whizzer, they both gave each other little kisses on their heads or shoulders and it faded to black and i wanted to cry because it was so sweet

and then. the Sad™

cordelia was so sweet when she was massaging charlotte in “something bad is happening” like she made little “ohh”s and she was so In Love

in “more racquetball”, whizzer was wearing bigger clothing to show that he lost weight and damn you could visibly see how weak he was even after one song

when he collapsed, the camera zoomed in on his face and he just said “i’m sorry” in the smallest voice ever and you could see that he was so scared and fighting back tears

they both looked so scared when they took him to dr. charlotte and i think she whispered something like “we’re gonna keep him here” or something and you could see marvin’s face fall

towards the end of “holding to the ground” you could see the silhouette of marvin helping whizzer to the hospital bed with his iv and everything

i was surprised at all the crying in act 2 but i was pleasantly surprised because it just made the story more authentic and believable because the actors were allowed to truly feel like their characters in this terrible situation

that said, whizzer looked like he was holding back tears for all of “days like this” and it broke my heart

when jason said “i’ll let you win” there was this pause as whizzer’s face fell and he just sang quietly “don’t let me win”

jason and mendel had this really heart to heart moment where he was explaining the situation in “cancelling the bar mitzvah” and it was really touching and sad

unlikely lovers was just so good and powerful and pure and god i love this show and the actors so much

before cordelia and charlotte come in, marvin lies next to whizzer and starts to cry a little and honestly i was surprised there was pieces of my heart left to break but hey these guys managed to do it

everything about “another miracle of judaism” was so good and anthony rosenthal is so talented at such a young age

oh my gosh, andrew rannells did not hold anything back during “you gotta die sometime”. his emotion was so raw, and towards the end he was literally crying yet managed to keep his voice strong and honestly #robbed again because i cannot believe i got to watch that

at the very beginning of “jason’s bar mitzvah”, while they’re setting everything up, whizzer is still crying but he tries to stop himself so the others don’t see

charlotte and cordelia kiss and it is Beautiful and trina just smiles and stands there awkwardly 

whizzer does more than just mouth “thank you” once he leaves, he actually whispers it and you can just see the pain in everyone’s eyes as he’s escorted away by charlotte

“what would i do” ruined me

once whizzer came on, it wasn’t all sad. there were smiles and laughs as they stood there, looking at each other and reflecting on their lives together. but they were also tears and cries and looks of pain but it was so emotional and raw and real and once the light finally faded on whizzer and he turned away and the rest of them came back and mendel sang the reprise as they reformed the cube,,, it was all so devastating and beautifully done

and then mendel beckoned jason over and they took one piece out of the cube and set it on stage to mark whizzer’s headstone, and marvin couldn’t hold it in anymore and he just sobbed into his hands and the others comforted him

and then they all watched as jason, young, innocent jason, came forward and pulled a single white king chess piece from his pocket and rested it on whizzer’s headstone.

and then i got to talk with people sobbing in the bathroom

and i honestly can’t even put all my thoughts here

like these weren’t even all my thoughts, it was just stuff i found specific to the proshot and such. but like,,, i need a dvd now

Ande gradel observed her dad’s footsteps in winning a boxing name at notre dame: ‘ladies can do whatever men can do. It’s very empowering.’

Gradel is getting ready for a charity boxing occasion on campus starting this week. Allow’s start with nicknames.. The hoop announcer needs something to work with … “macho” camacho, “boom increase” mancini, “bonecrusher” smith, “hitman” hearns. Wednesday night time at notre dame, a crowd on the duncan student middle will cheer on “complete throttle” gradel, a superb moniker considering the competitor’s final name is reported grah-dl. A group of human beings standing in a room: notre dame's ande gradel talks with train nathan walker as molly giglia looks on. © warren skalski / chicago tribune/chicago tribune/tns notre dame's ande gradel talks with train nathan walker as molly giglia seems on. The boxer’s first call is ande and she takes place to be a blonde with best teeth. She’s a civil engineering major jonesing for a black eye due to the fact “that might look unwell, very intimidating.”are there every other stereotypes she’d like to knock out? Gradel, 21, is vying to grow to be the maximum embellished boxer within the circle of relatives, having already gained  titles in notre dame’s baraka bouts event. Father ted “the truth” gradel received a bengal bouts identify in 1986, a year earlier than he kicked 14 subject goals and 33 greater factors for lou holtz’s eight-4 crew. Massive sister francie, now a first-12 months law scholar at arizona state, gained  titles. The hoop announcer introduced her as “dr. Cool.”

Why dr. Cool?

“i used to be talking with ande one day and she said: ‘you can pretty much select whatever as lengthy as it’s no longer some thing dumb like mr. Cool,’ ” francie recalls. “i modified it to physician so it become gender neutral.”

the fact is the gradels love boxing nearly as an awful lot as they love one another. That’s pronouncing plenty due to the fact that is a tight-knit circle of relatives of five from naperville, even though ted is vying for a task that could require commuting to washington.

She thrived in the army rotc application.“dr. Cool”? With “sgt.Says ted: “it’s a pleasant feeling to understand that they can guard themselves and keep their personal in any setting.”

ted started out boxing after attending the historic bengal bouts as a freshman. Knute rockne first prepared boxing tournaments on notre dame’s campus in 1920. The bengal bouts were created in 1931 as a fundraiser to advantage the province of east bengal, india (now bangladesh). The only-night occasion drew 2,000 fans and raised $500. The girls fight inside the fall — wednesday’s quarterfinals, monday’s semifinals and nov. 17 finals. An all-consultation skip fees $20, or $15 from a boxer, and proceeds advantage holy pass missions in east africa. The 2018 baraka bouts raised greater than $220,000 to construct facilities for colleges in uganda. Baraka manner “blessing” in swahili.“it’s a blessing for us due to the fact we’re truely creating a big difference,” says nathan walker, notre dame’s director of the guys’s and girls’s boxing golf equipment. The guys’s competition is what first drew ted to the game within the ‘80s. He competed as a sophomore, recalling that he couldn't carry his arms after the primary round, which lasted two minutes.

“i got beat up by way of a leprechaun,” he jokes, relating to a fighter who absolutely did don the irish gown for soccer video games. Ted worked out with a heavy bag inside the basement of the circle of relatives home. The walk-on kicker taught his daughters a way to address however not to punch. They located boxing on their personal, longing for a annoying exercise, friendship with like-minded girls and the pride derived from, well, punching people inside the face. Ted, like all dad, says he changed into “concerned and fearful” while francie and ande discovered their plans to field at notre dame. They talked thru their reasoning with ted and wife sarah. In the end, francie and ande laid down their trump card: “you’re there and we’re right here.”

asked if pals questioned their daughters’ choice to box, ted replies: “no, i suppose the general public are intrigued and surprised in a nice manner. There’s extra of a motion in the direction of empowering women. This a tangible example.”indeed, as a freshman ande watched her buddies duke it out and decided she desired in.i thought it turned into coolest thing ever,” she says. “seeing the whole show, it pulled me in. … it’s cool to no longer just talk the talk however walk the walk. Ladies can do some thing men can do. It’s very empowering.”walker says the gradel sisters have comparable fighting patterns, ranging from competitive to hyper-competitive.they have grit; they’re difficult,” walker says. “nobody might be more potent than them inside the ring. Ande isn't always afraid to take a punch. That takes away numerous the concern.”francie “cornered” for ande final yr, and one of the coaches joked at some stage in ande’s title run: “i don’t assume we ever taught a 40-punch mixture.”

‘holy right move’

after a exercising, gradel joins near pal and fellow boxer molly giglia at o’rourke’s, throughout angela boulevard from notre dame’s campus. We communicate approximately the grotto, and that i ask for ande’s favored spot on campus. No marvel, it’s where she trains six days every week inside the basement of the joyce middle.

“the pit,” she says. “that’s our basilica. Wait, is that sacrilegious to say?”

giglia and gradel are both captains, tasked with teaching younger students the basics of boxing. They wreck into a chant: “stance, toes, knees, facets, elbow, fingers, shin.”a reminder accompanies everyone part. Balls of the toes. Moderate bend to the knees. Get narrow. Elbows in to shield the scoring vicinity. Hand protecting the again of the face.we cause them to repeat it lots,” ande says. “they should hate us for it.”

violence is inherent in boxing, but baraka bouts isn't always most effective the arena’s largest women’s boxing club, with 260 contributors, in step with walker. It strives to be the safest. Ringside physicians reveal boxers sporting headgear, mouthguards and modern gloves. Giglia has boxed on the grounds that her junior year in excessive schooL

“i got three concussions from football,” she says. “one changed into from the ball. The second one was the aim put up. The 0. 33 … i overlook how i got that one. I feel a lot more secure boxing.”gradel, who overcame juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, has taken frame blows to the chest, something she describes as “now not nice.”

she also is inclined to dole them out, pronouncing: “once i step in that ring, i’m all about winning. Out of it, i’m exceptional.”before she steps in wednesday for the first of three 75-second rounds, she can be delivered as “complete throttle gradel.”giglia turned into tabbed “holy proper pass” as a primary-12 months student and “infamous mmg” as a sophomore. Now she’s in 12 months 2 with “the silent g,” an ode to her final call and boxing style.you never see her coming,” gradel says. “she’s so calm within the ring. I'm no longer like that.”

[the-lonely-catt]

Yeah, m oo od, Anti's really cool. My brain just sees a scary knife murder man and decides it's gay time,, yknow. I am,,, very gay for most villains and it's a problem. You got any dumb fictional crushes? Or any characters you'd wanna be friends with if that's too personal or weird

hAH literally I was made of dumb fictional crushes for too long, dont get me s t a r t e d XD (Also sorry Im late to this!)

But if youre looking for a few of my fictional boyfriends then lets start with a real spicy baby, Nico Di Angelo! Because I had to like someone in the first Percy Jackson series since Leo wasnt there yet and hes just,,, well also gay b u t that wasnt stated in the first series and hes just precious and I lov him

Promptly following him was easily over taken by Leo Valdez the Heroes of Olympus boy with far too much fic in wattpad to be considered reasonable,,, but hes just g o o d okay, hes a 7th wheel for like sO long and hes just funny and sweet and broken inside and I just wanna give him a hUG

And I mean last one I'll list, this one actually came up in conversation recently so thats kinda funny, but like H i c c u p ? From how to train your dragon???? uGH what a gosh hecking b o i I still love him ngl I dont care that hes married hes so precious, and his character is just so g o o d (I know the movies arent perfect but they really did some shit right in there, namely characterization XD)

O h wow thats a longer rant than I thought it would be, but like the list of characters I wanna be friends with is literally so long too so Ill stop there XDD
