#i still can’t believe this — a literal jumpscare

[starryemeralds]

so this happened earlier,,, wild.

how curious…❓🤔

[hxltic]

i absolutely need suna x reader having secret sex while the miya twins are a room across🫣

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

You had no real attraction to Suna, but it was just one of those nights where your brothers came home after a game, bringing his friends along with him to celebrate, and to avoid sitting in their sweat, they had to shower. Thank god you took yours before the boys made it. Being the last to shower when the floor is wet and it’s steamy already is literally the worst shit ever.

The problem was, Suna never really came over; therefore, he had no real way to know which room was your brothers’.

He had specific instructions to shower and take some clothes from his room. Looking back on it, he should’ve asked which door it is, but strutting back with nothing but a towel on his waist is not an option. So, he resorts to opening every door until he finds what he would think is the room of his teammate. Or rather…either of them?

Instead, the knob twists as you’re fully bent over in your walk-in closet, digging through a basket of clean clothes for a t-shirt. Of course it had to be the second you wanted to change when he walked in, and not when you were comfortably reading in bed with a little light on earlier. There’s no bra on your chest now, just a pair of navy blue lace panties.

Hey! On the bright side: they could’ve been cotton with “kiss my ass” stamped on the back.

Your arms draw up in an effort to hide your chest when you hear the twist of the knob and the door come flying open. Key word is effort, because now your breasts are pressed up against each other, which Suna believes is ten times worse for you than the position he found you in. At least when you were bent over, he had to imagine whatever he couldn’t see.

“Holy- shit!” you exclaim, eyeing the man at your door that’s actively dripping water on your carpet. His hair is fallen and sticking to his face messily, just enough for you to spot his slim eyes. He doesn’t say anything at first.

It’s mainly just him blinking blankly at you while you panic, searching the room for literally anything to provide some decency, but once you render the clear lack of any emotion (like embarrassment) you currently possessed in his body, it calms your nerves a bit.

He’s seen a woman before. It doesn’t make him any less prone to being attracted to puffy lips and nipples only covered by an arm, but it somehow soothes you to know he won’t make a big deal out of it and maybe not even mention it to your siblings.

Eventually, you throw on the nearest shirt over your head and pull your hair through, dirty or clean, still with no pants to match.

You sigh deeply, “What is it Suna?” It comes out in an irritated grunt.

“You know my name.” His eyebrows raise with surprise, but not as high as the average person’s would.

“Yeah, I do. Is there a reason you’re still here?”

He presses on: “How do you know it? Do they talk about me a lot?”

Your head drops in your palm to shake back and forth. “I can’t do this right now,” he overhears your mumble.

“My bad, I was looking for Tsumu’s room but got jumpscared instead.”

Despite saying this, he still stands in the doorway—not with it cracked, but with it wide fucking open—and it’s then when creaks from the stairs clears the air between you two. He doesn’t move, but you quickly shove him over to peek around the corner, then drag him into your bedroom before whoever it is gets the wrong idea by the view from the hallway.

While you’re turned after throwing him mindlessly into your room, he readjusts the falling towel around his waist. What he said finally hits you a few moments too late.

“Jumpscared?! You? I’m in the comfort of my own room when you barge in with nothing on!” Your hands gesture up and down as you scold him. “And don’t talk about my body like that!” Only he doesn’t really look at your eyes. When you’re done, he finds your attention.

“It was really an accident, but I’ll stay until whoever goes back downstairs,” he shrugs. “And why does it smell like sex in here?”

Your cheeks redden. There was a reason you were looking for a change of clothes. “It doesn’t.”

“Yeah, it does.” He flops back onto the bed carelessly, dipping your comforter.

“Stop! You’re getting my sheets wet.” His body has only slightly dried, but with the full head of hair he has, it hasn’t dried at all. “Suna, get up.”

“They probably already are.”

He closes his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest. His stature was not what you thought it’d be. He was tall and packed with muscle in his legs. You could tell that much by the pictures if you didn’t figure it out by the fact that when he’s sitting you’re still face to face; but on top of that, his abdomen was carved and his arms carried some weight too.

Nothing compared to the sheer size of his legs, but still up there. They had to be the size of your head. By photos he’s an average high school athlete, so it almost appears fake when he takes the uniform off.

Unfortunately, as you were looking, his eyes had opened and he’d been watching you inspect him. Suna will always preach there are benefits to being as quiet as he is, like how he can pinpoint that your fingers come to pinch the edge of your shirt.

You clear your throat in hopes it will gather your thoughts too, then rectify his past statement. “They aren’t.”

“Right… just like how all the red tabs in this book are for nothing?” He reaches beside him to take it in his hands, then he flips through the pages quickly until he comes across one. “‘I run my fingers down her trembling thighs that yearn for my touch. You’ll take it like a—’”

Before he can finish what you remember is very unfortunately highlighted, you crawl over him to rip it out his hands and throw it. You chuck the literature nowhere in particular with shame that can’t get any higher as he laughs, then you quickly retreat with a knee up on the edge of the bed. His laughter is a sweet sound. It makes sense why he’s friends with your brothers.

You don’t even notice you’re half-straddling him while you point your finger in his face. “What I read is none of your business.”

He spoke clearly and assertively when he read, and the last thing you need him figuring out was how bad your body desired he’d read the words to you again; he was already too observant.

“Of course. Forgive me for saying such vulgar things around my friend’s sister. She would never do such a thing.” Finally, he slowly sits up, which naturally makes you rise with him, so you place your hand on his shoulder to prevent from wobbling. Your thigh is beside his with your foot unstable on the floor. “She’s just so sweet and innocent, and definitely not up here alone reading book porn.”

Your breathing picks up at the proximity and the pressure of a declaration you can’t avoid. You search between both his eyes that do the same to you. He deserves a medal or something, because fuck—the shirt lifts just a little bit every time you fiddle with it and the lace sticks to your skin like glue. “I- uhm,” you stutter, removing your stability from his body and backing away from the bed.

Of course, to add to the fucking humiliation, you stumble backward, but he reaches out to you. His hand firmly wraps around your wrist and the other is hooked behind your back when he jerks you back up to him. He only releases your wrist.

“Is that all you read?”

You shake your head. “I read regular romance and fantasy too.”

He nods, “Ah, I see. So you want the prince of a faraway land to twirl you around in his field of flowers saying how much he loves you, then you want him to make you beg to come?”

Your eyes shoot wide at the comment, only stretching the lazy smirk on his face.

“N-No,” you reply, even though that does sound extremely appealing.

“But you do want someone to ‘run their fingers down your trembling thighs’ though, right?”

To emphasize his point, he lets the knuckles of his hand trickle down the back of your thigh, just barely grazing the skin. The sensation shocks you and almost sends you forward. This can’t be happening. Actually, you pray it isn’t, so your eyelids slam shut.

This prompts his other hand to pinch either side of your jaw gently and drag your face to his. “Or lay you back and tell you to take it like a good girl.” His eyes flicker from your eyes, to your lips, then back up, noting the state of disbelief your countenance holds. He flattens the hand that stops just under your ass.

You almost melt in his hold, and this he knows because of the long breath you took after his words. It’s easy to infer you’re fairly untouched by not only your responses, but how receptive you were. It was you two, only about an inch from each other now, waiting to see who would make the next move and risk something far worse than just a growing attraction. The twins flash in your head as a beat passes and you swallow.

“Yes. But that has nothing to do with you.”

Suna shines a smile with his teeth. “Your thighs are rubbing together.”

You look him up and down. “So?”

“Can I tell you a secret?”

You don’t look him in the eyes, they drop to your pillows. Before you can separate the thighs in question that are only disconnected by his fingertips, he nudges you forward onto him, bringing your hands back to his shoulders. You’re completely straddling while attempting to keep your eyes locked on his when his entire torso is on display. He leans forward to speak just above a whisper in your ear as if this is a normal occurrence.

“I can feel you dripping all over my hand.” The cool of his breath tickles your neck, only worsening as he continues. “Why is that?”

You’re at a loss for words at first, but you suck it up, holding your own. “Nothing to do with you. Maybe I went too hard earlier.”

He wholeheartedly chuckles at this response. “So you admit it?”

“Admit what?”

“That you were up here fucking yourself to your book?” His voice is an echo behind you since he’d decided to rest his chin comfortably on your shoulder.

“Yeah. Yeah—I guess I do. It’s not like you didn’t come in here and figure it out yourself,” your eyes roll.

“Which part were you reading?”

“Does it matter?”

“Yes.”

There’s a moment of silence. “She’d just decided to drop her toxic ex-boyfriend and his sister came to console her. The way she did it was kind of fucked up, and I think the slow burn is what made me look past it, but anyway—she brings her to a party, the boy she meets there happens to be the barista at the place she orders from every day, and he has a history with the main character’s ex. He hates him even though he’d gotten over it as years passed, but she really wants to get back at him, so they send an anonymous short video of them, um… together, and he gets really pissed off.”

Suna is quiet as he reviews what you just said. He admires your perception of the book and the passion to read. He goes, “You’re into that?” and then it’s your turn not to say anything, even with the amusement lacing his tone. You grow fidgety, and just when you don’t think any more words will be exchanged, he suddenly demands, “Don’t do that.”

“Do what?”

“That. What you just did.” You shifted your weight from leg to leg as the silence grew longer. Just to see, you do it again.

“You’re grinding against me when you do that by the way.”

You giggle maliciously, continuing to go back and forth. It’s payback for teasing you the entire time. He comes to hold your hips still to prevent further movements, but in protest, you create an arch in your back to actually roll your hips down instead, ensuring he felt it.

“Okay, really, unless you want to move like that with my nine inches inside of you, I suggest you choose your battles now.”

You finally halt at the words. He was dead serious. He feels scratching along his shoulder blades at your fingers curling up in response, but not removing yourself. He still rests his head beside yours. “Oh, don’t tell me you’re into that too?”

So that’s how he ended up with his back to your headboard, head tipped up, looking at you through his pretty eyelashes as you wrap your hand around his slick length and reposition it to line up. You lower your body down, allowing your walls to open up for him. The stretch hurts only a little just because he’s so big.

You hadn’t kissed him the entire time, so he groans desperately when you wrap your fingers tightly around his neck and lean in. He allows you to no matter how hard you squeeze.

This drives up your confidence with your pretty lace panties pushed to the side, making you raise to your feet.

“Shit,” he grabs ahold of your ankles between half-lidded eyes, and his mouth slightly dropped like he can’t believe what the fuck he’s seeing. “If Atsumu could see you now.”

The mention of your brother at all should turn you off, but it doesn’t. It only fuels you knowing that you’re actively riding his teammate. In fact, you must tighten around him, because he knows immediately.

“What? Does that turn you on? Fuckin’ slut.”

You whimper at the words, pressing your lips forward to his. You kiss him the best you can as he hungrily reciprocates.

The bed moves forcefully, but Suna knows the other guys are probably too busy downstairs to hear it, and whoever is in the other room may only potentially be a problem. So up and down you go, now slamming your ass against him and reddening his slightly tan, freckled skin.

“Poor thing was up here by herself. If dick was what you really wanted, you know you could have always asked.”

“Hhhmmm,” you whine, breathing shallow.

The brunette lets you go until your legs burn and you’re slowing pace. It’s driving him insane watching you chase your orgasm, using him like he was the perfect replacement for your fingers, in your own little world with your face twisted up in ecstasy and muscles straining. You were too stubborn to stop when he offered it to you, but he doesn’t mind. Not everyone has legs like his.

He instructs while inching his hips up the bed, “Fall back to your knees.” You do, and he grabs one wrist in each hand before digging his heels into the blanket and pounding up into you at a pace you don’t think you could ever meet. It’s rough and loud and you can feel his balls coming up to strike you from behind. Quite literally, it takes your breath away.

“Fuck fuck fuck yes,” tendrils of your hair fall over your face when you lay your head down over his head for stability. Aside from not being able to move, this is the best angle for the both of you. Your tits move over his face, which would allow him to suck and bite as he pleases while holding you still, and with the tilt of your body his fat tip reaches your most sensitive part.

You bounce over and over and he wishes he would have pulled your shirt up first. He’s grunting in your ear dangerously.

“Was this in your book too? Is this when he told her to take it like a good girl?”

You try to answer but it’s incomprehensible with the speed of his thrusts.

He commands, “Again.”

“Y-Yes,” you retry, finally getting something out. He’s satisfied with this, so he lets go of your wrists and pushes you upright, only slowing for the moment. This time, he wraps his fingers around your neck, just enough for you to breathe, while rolling his thumb across your revealed clit. The veins of his forearm show themselves and he peers up at you with a glare as if you were the most irritating thing to him.

How hard you were holding him is nothing compared to how hard he is holding you, and just that thought has your eyes threatening to fall closed.

“Then be a good. Fucking. Girl,” he punctuates each word with a harsh upwards cut of his hips, “and take it.”

“Oh God,” you connect your own weak hands around his, your mouth falling open with every moan that floats into the air. He holds your gaze with his threatening eyes, and if you tried to look anywhere but him, he’d pull you right back. “Suna, I’m coming,” you rush it out like there’s no stopping now. And honestly, you’re currently wishing you didn’t say it at all, because you know if he told you not to, your body would try its best to comply.

“No the fuck you’re not.”

Godammit.

Removing his finger from your nub, he moves the hand to meet the other at your throat. You couldn’t speak even if you wanted to, which you did want to, just to let him know that this would only make it worse. There’s a movement: you’re coming down on him yourself with the force of the thrust driving you up.

Your mouth creates the words, but they don’t come out. Suna knows anyway. “Please.”

“No.” And it’s as simple as that, because then he says, “Do you hear that?”

Of course you don’t, he just asked to see if you were sane enough to come back to your senses and focus your hearing. His tight hold on you is enough to leave a mark, but not enough to prevent your head from slowly shaking back and forth.

“On the other side of that wall is your brother. Both of them.” Your eyes shoot wide at the same time his thrusts calm down. He still continues, it’s just with a deep grind to prevent the hard slapping of skin, and he brings your forehead to his as he speaks to you. “Come now and both of us are in trouble.”

He has valid reasons to infer that it is specifically the twins, but he’s sure you don’t want to hear those right now. If it was up to him, you would have been throwing your head back and showing that arch he imagines you had before he intruded in on you changing, but holding it above your head like meat to a starving dog was fine too.

“Please let me come Rin, please. I’ll be quiet,” a chaste kiss to the tip of his nose ends your pleading, hoping it softens him up with the use of his first name.

And maybe it worked, because his eyebrows curl upwards with pity when he explains, “We both know you’re too vocal for that, princess. How about we try something else?”

You nod frantically, raising off his length and letting him lay down completely while you wait for directions. He gets situated by moving pillows out of the way. “Come here.”

You realize now the pity he expressed was fake. Swinging your leg over his waist, you begin to line yourself up.

“No. Come here.”

You stare at him dumbfounded.

“Up here, towards me,” he ushers his hands. You scoot closer towards his chest with your hands on his pecs, not sure how much closer the two of you can get.

“My face, baby.”

Instead of getting angry with you, he kept his tone. It was little but it made you feel good. “Oh.”

You come to a hover over his lips, contemplating a lot and nothing at the same time, mainly if this man was really under you telling you to do what you’re doing.

“Sit.”

“Are you sure?” You clarify.

“Yes. Sit before I make you read your porn to me.” This brings your eyebrows in with a crease and you drop with no remorse on his lips. His face is smothered somewhere between your thighs. The only thing visible is his damp hair.

Unfortunately for you, he enjoys the thrill of not being able to breathe.

You’re less than two minutes into absolutely grinding on his tongue, chasing the vibrations of his grunts and groans by tugging on his hair. Your other hand is covering your mouth.

Thankfully, because there’s a quick knock, and Osamu’s voice passes through the door. “Pizza’s here. You okay in there?”

You nod as if he can see you. You then realize he cannot.

Shakily, you call out, “Yes.” The only way to not moan while Suna slides the muscle between your lips to taste all of your slick is by biting your lip. His fingers grip the fat of your thighs.

“Okay.” In the background there’s another voice, presumably your other brother. Finally, they become faint until you hear the stairs, and you allow yourself a little freedom.

“Rin,” you look down fully expecting to meet his eyes, but you can’t see him at all.

“Hmphh?”

“I’m close…can I?” On cue, he pushes in as far as his tongue can go inside your hole. He nods yes, simultaneously flattening it to lick all of you in one stripe before deliberately sucking your clit.

To muffle your sounds, your hand comes to cover your mouth once again and you’re somehow managing to prepare for your eyes squeezing shut at the same time as your muscles tensing. Suna can feel you dripping, literally this time.

this was kinda rushed

More Buff Chichi 💖💪🏽

Ik it’s been a while but here’s another buff chichi I drew. This was supposed to be like a funny shitpost (I was using one of those out of context images as a reference) but I got serious halfway through lmao, now it has a whole dialogue and extra shading n shi. I literally die everytime someone likes my old buff chichi post and anything dragonball related I’ve made bc I never expected the fandom to still be alive like this when I first started posting (also my aus are rly random and I never expected ppl to actually see and like them oop) and it gives me a good jumpscare when I come back to check my inbox lmao.

Anyways. Here’s Chichi being Stronk, who knows who said it but Chichi heard someone mention her age as if that would mean she would be weak and she took it as a little challenge and grabbed her boys as quickly as she could to put that statement to rest. Trust she’s got some muscles under there, you just can’t see them because these goobers are covering them.

I originally had some extra speech bubbles where she says “I bet I could even lift your father, Videl, and Pan at the same time too!” To which Gohan replies “Please Don’t! You’ll hurt yourself” because he’s the only one worried about her age and health lmao. Everybody else just egged her on. Maybe even Goku gets sad he wasn’t the one lifted instead but who knows. Goten’s line was also altered from “Gohan and Dad really weren’t kidding about you still working out.” But it sounded a bit like a jab at the two and her since it’s unlikely that’d be a thing he wouldn’t believe from either of them. She trained him, like cmon, out of all the people who’d stop training? idk what I was thinking with that line😅

Added trunks last second because it was funny thinking of Bulma struggling with doing the same but only with Trunks, and even funnier when I thought about Vegeta doing it bc he would be half embarrassed but he doesn’t like to lose. (Though it’d be too easy for him and would make no difference since he’s a super powered alien.) Also I thoroughly enjoyed drawing these three together, it was really hard since I’ve only ever drawn chichi out of all three.

BOO!!!!! sillyguy jumpscare

“looks like a raver ancient built him” - my friend

“i am SUCH a fan of how you make all of your fanocs annoying himbos with unnecessary swag” - my other friend

“he’s fresh sans” - like, two people

so — he’s finally here!!! the Basketball!!!! be warned INSANE and MINDBLOWING loredrop below‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ as well as some general trivia about NWB + some more silly doodles

The Ancients, dissatisfied with the very prominent lack of results the Iterator project was bringing, began having doubts. Perhaps they had gone about this the wrong way? After all, the jellyfish that doesn’t try is the one that doesn’t get caught in the net. It seemed they had made their design of the Iterators inherently flawed — they tried too hard to solve the Problem, over and over and over again.

It was time for something new. An alternative.

And so, the idea for the Anti-Iterator project was brought into the world — a whole generation of Iterators that didn’t try. Some called it redundant, some pointless. But it convinced plenty, certainly enough to make that idea a reality, and the plan came into fruition.

No Way Back was the first created; his name was given to him to signify a turning point, a new era of Iterators. One that would bring with it change and, hopefully, finally, a solution.

so anyway NWB did absolutely nothing except talk excessively about the ancients’ fashion and sometimes ask them for their drip clothes for his collection and also make cringefail music. the project was discontinued immediately

NOW!!! TOP 10 GAMER TRIVIA:

- makes the shittiest sounding music possible, sincerely believes it’s peak art. if you don’t think the same way he’ll say You dont get it. You just dont

- fan of fashion, art & history, but in a normal way (unlike pebbles). really wishes he could have a whole wardrobe of clothes like his creators, but they’re all gone now </3 and even back then when they were all still alive they. did not like giving him stuff (they did not like him)

- one of them did give him the nikeys though

- most of his creators deemed him useless and didn’t particularly care for him. however, some of them (usually the kids) liked talking with NWB, and he enjoyed interacting with them too. he kind of misses the ancients even if they were asses

- is an enigma to his local group: he barely sends messages, and when he does it’s wildly off topic, and literally NEVER about work related stuff. occasionally he’ll drop his “bangers” in the groupchat and ask for opinions. unfortunately most of the iterators ignore him because they find him annoying (and useless as well. very ancientcore of them)

- kind of incomprehensible. he just says things

- doesn’t really have a god complex so he’s generally friendly, open-minded and easy going, but if you’re mean to him he’ll go Wow. Not cool, man. and he’ll probably give you a lecture like a 90s PSA

- calls himself a DJ. doesn’t even have a proper DJ name. probably doesn’t even know what a club is

- fan of nature, enjoyer of life. has no friends and no purpose but doesn’t let it get to him. at least he can make the equivalent of cbat 2 and force every iterator in the world to listen to it

- he’s stupid but he’s also really smart because. supercomputer. however he chooses to not use his brain and instead be silly. he thinks it’s funnier that way

- sometimes sends his music to other iterators besides his local group’s. they also ignore him

- you really can’t tell when he’s being ironic or not, and whether he’s really THAT dumb or if he’s just trolling. one thing for sure — he loves to mess with the stuck-up iterators from his local group if they decide to bother him

- if the ancients had any equivalent of the 80s, he would’ve been a very very big fan of it

- loves animals too. would call slugcat “little dude”

leave your thoughts in the COMMENTS below!!! remember to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE and listen to DJNWB on SPOTIFY (suddenly becomes normal) if you have any questions feel free to ask and i will answer. i love this guy he’s my everything

[zibiscusloon]

Because it's impossible to choose one, rate and order the cameos/easter eggs you loved most in the movie

I’m gonna go with some of my favorites off the top of my head! There were so many across the whole movie and I loved each and every one, lol

(Note this is in no specific order!)

1. Chica’s fucking Magic Rainbow

My friend Axe ( @gayfrogsarecool ) caught this lil easter egg while we were watching the movie and it managed to flood back so many memories. So.. many… memories…. (All of yelling at a rude ass rainbow-)

I’m probably in a minority of people who loved Fnaf World during its initial release, so I really wasn’t thinking there’d be a World reference! It was really sweet to see!

2. Balloon Boy (lil bastard-)

I can’t believe I’m admitting that this lil shit is the only animatronic who managed to succeed on every single fucking jumpscare. He got me each time— There was no excuse for them to work every time! He was literally just standing there! But noooooo, Freddy biting Max in half only gave me a brief pause of “Oh.” But the batterie thief himself is the one who made me jump from my seat- what the fuck-

3. Sparky the Dog! (And Sparky’s Diner!)

Every single fan who has been around since Fnaf 1 knows who Sparky the Dog is! The original hoax character. I remember when I was little and I’d be up watching theories trying to debunk whether or not he was a real character! A fan character was a big surprise and seeing that he even has an in universe diner themed around him made me feel like a kid again! (Only this kid now gets confirmation of a Canon Sparky-)

(Also Imma just say his movie design is adorable I love him sm-)

4. Carl & The Cupcake

Noticed this one out more recently! So during the whole segment where Max & her friends are picked off one by one by the gang I learned that the dude that the Cupcake straight up mauls happens to be named “Carl”! I have no idea if it was intentional or not but it could be a nod to The Cupcake’s fanon name!

5. The Ella springlock suit

So Ella on her own was a rather eerie and intriguing concept from the books (Saying this as someone who is still really iffy with how the whole “Charlie is a Robot” concept was handled)

But seeing her as her own animatronic in the movie really managed to bring up her creep factor! She just looks so ragged and forgotten, she looks like a creepy af porcelain doll (and I love that-). Makes me wonder if we’ll ever see animatronic Ella up and running (probably not but it’d be cool none the less!)

6. Cory & Matpat!

Coryxkenshin has always been a comfort channel for me! I always found his content genuinely nice, genuine, and I have a habit of going back to plenty of his old game playthroughs when I’m feeling down. Man also got jumped by BB- you and me both pal-

When I tell you the cackling I had from the whole “That’s just a theory” line, cheeky son of a- (also I now hc Ness as the Hurricane local menace who is a constant thorn in William’s side cause he keeps breaking into the Pizzaria on the weekends looking for evidence and shit from the MCI)

7. And Of course..

I mean did they really expect to have this as the end credits song and for me to not loudly sing it? Childhood in song form-

…heyyyy….👩‍🍳 yes Ik I’ve been dead but I’ve had school which I Alr hate ANYWAYS

U remember in dance moms when Maddie had to kiss gio (or sm else I can’t remember who) for there duet (us we where I’m goin 😏) how about dance mom bill finding out BUT WAIT THERES MORE (if u want u don’t have to do it🫶🏽) an on the day they preform the rest of the band is their (family ykyk) an they see reader kiss the boy an there all like “WOW WOW WOOOAH SLOW DOWN🫸🏽🫸🏽🫸🏽🫸🏽” total overprotective mode activated an then there all like “NO your wayyy to young to even kiss an don’t even THINK about dating 🙄” annoying maybe loving soft family moment tho YESSSS

I’ve been dead but I make up for it🙋🏽‍♀️ as always love your work never rush an I stay cooking👩‍🍳👩‍🍳

(yes, yes, yes! sorry this took so long but enjoy!!)

Girl's Gotta Be Kisses

Bill is literally feeling his soul leave his body the second he heard Abby mutter anything about a kiss

Especially because he still thinks you’re his little baby

He is immediately calling Tom, Gustav and Georg the second he leaves

He is covering his eyes the entire time you guys are rehearsing the duet

He thinks the kiss is like a jumpscare and he wants absolutely nothing to do with

He is horrified because he peeked out from his hands and yelled because the second he did guess what?

HE SAW THE FUCKING KISS

“No, no, no, no! Honey! Save my kid!”

He is so overdramatic about it but he has a right too

You can make jokes about it as well like

“I can’t believe you’re having your first kiss. In a dance!”

“Who said it’s my first kiss?”

*Que Bill stomping on the brake pedal and you going flying into the seat as Tom is in the passenger seat and your uncles are next to you*

“WHAT?!”

That's what you get from all four of them as Uncle Georg has you by your shoulders, Tom and Bill are practically turned completely in their seats and Gustav has a hand over his heart and is so grateful his kid isn’t old enough yet

Bill is probably crying and Tom knows what it feels like when his mother caught him with girls 

They still think of you as an infant running around stealing their shit and trying to play their instruments dressed in Toms shirt, Bill’s bracelets, Georg’s hair ties and a little toy bass and Gustavs hat

But they are teasing the shit out of you as well but they’re also horrified and disgusted about how fast you’ve grown up

They feel so fucking old

They are definitely going to see you perform and are all huddled in a pile and closing their eyes and waiting because Bill never told them when the kiss happens in the dance

If he got jump scared, they get jump scared as well

When they actually do see the kiss they’re literally like children seeing their parents kiss for the first time and are going “Ew!” and “Gross!” and “Stop, stop, stop!”

When they see you after it they literally swoop you away as your duet partner stands there awkwardly

Tom did talk to him, gave him a little elbow nudge and eyebrow wiggle as your partner did indeed blush

They’re literally all over you with going “Never again!” and “Don't you dare, Abby! I will sue you!” and “Don’t ever think about dating, kissing, marriage, anything until you're freaking forty!”

They will never let that go until you come back with your first boyfriend in a few years

Then that's when shit goes down

Five Nights At Freddy’s, Authorial Intent, The Box, and why CC doesn’t really matter.

Authorial intent is the act of, rather than looking at the story itself, you focus on the author. Why did they write this, why did they act this way. That’s what I want to focus on, Scott Cawthon after the release of FNAF 4, and what that means for the story. Scott was, for lack of a better word, frustrated after FNAF 4. Think about the box, how he never gave us a concrete answer to what it was because no one got the complete story of the game. He gave MatPat the hint “why is little toy Chica missing her beak?” Well, I have an answer to both of those, CC doesn’t matter! He’s not Golden Freddy, Cassidy is! And he’s definitely not the Puppet, that title is Charlie’s. So in the grant scheme of things, who is he? Well, he’s the brother that Michael accidentally murdered. That’s why Scott was so frustrated. He didn’t mean to tell us about CC, but rather about Michael. It was Michael’s backstory. This was Scott trying to tell us “this is the boy you play as in the rest of the series, and this is why he spends over five nights at Freddy’s”. But, due to the lack of information at the time, no one understood. So he introduced William Afton as the Purple Guy in the books, then again in the games, and made his daughter the antag, as well as making another antag a representation of his wife. This game was supposed to make you connect the Afton’s to the protag of the series, make you realize that the protag is an Afton. But no one got it. So Scott threw his hands up and said “fine! I’ll just tell you!” And gave us the cutscenes after the SL custom nights, which gave us more information about Michael than anything. Michael turning purple isn’t actually him turning into a rotten corpse (how could he get a job as a corpse? Even if Fazbear Entertainment is garbage, he’s a corpse! That’s wayyyyy past the line) but rather to connect him to William, to the Afton’s. He even shares the same VA as William! Scott basically threw in our faces that Michael was an Afton, and the kids in FNAF 4 were Aftons as well (think about the empty girl’s room, which SL gives us an answer to), therefore Michael = Foxybro = MC. Then he finally closes it off with FNAF 6 (ah satiating FNAF 6 ending, I miss you), giving us Henry’s line about his “brave volunteer” wanting to die in the fire. And I think that’s what finally put the FNAF fandom in agreement about Michael (at least, the FNAF fandom can’t agree on much, so Scott still needed more confirmation in Fazbear’s Frights since MatPat thought Michael was CC as a robot). I mentioned earlier the line “why is little toy Chica missing her beak?” She’s missing her beak because the cutscenes aren’t even from CC’s POV, they’re from Michael’s, how he remembers his little brother, and how he remembers himself. CC is, frankly, a little bit too much of a crybaby to be realistic. And yes, this is a game, so I might be looking to far into it, but CC never stops crying, even when the Fredbear plush tries to comfort him. And about the Fredbear plush, I don’t think it’s William talking to him or a spirit, I think Michael saw CC with the plushie all the time, and interpreted it as an object of comfort for him, that’s why it’s literally everywhere, Michael remembers CC bringing it with him everywhere. And how does Michael look back at himself? With nothing but hatred. He sees himself as the older brother who lives for nothing but torment (we don’t get any scenes of Michael being nice until CC is dying). And he’s afraid of his younger self (think about how many YouTubers jumped at the Foxybro jumpscares). And the gameplay? That’s William punishing Michael, and that’s why we see it in SL. So why is little toy Chica missing her beak? Because Michael Afton has already been Fritz Smith, and the image of Toy Chica without her beak is burned into his mind. I believe almost to complete certainty that the first concept of the box was something connecting FoxyBro to the FNAF protags.

That was very ranty, and there was some other things I wanted to add. But for the sake of all our time, I’ll end it here. Thanks to anyone who read all the way through.

ballad appreciation post

i’m so happy :D. i’ve watched ballad twice this week. the second time i watched it w my brothers i didn’t have anything to say about it bc i was mostly just on edge about not getting kicked out of the theatre but since i teased a breakup over this Boyfriend was on his best behavior so i actually got to watch the movie without anyone asking a million question a scene. in related news we have another lucy gray truther on our side. here are some of my thoughts

1. tom blyth opening screen …. i still got jumpscared seeing him in the nude

2. the way they pronounce lucy grays name still catches me off guard. i’ve been ignoring the “i” completely and just say “bard” in my head (yk bc she’s The Bard). with that being said i know the mayor was in like 2 scenes but i think he did a really good job picking out lucy grays name he looked crazy

3. hunter schafer is my eyebrow inspo. also i’ve mentioned this before w the bathing suits having a 1920s and 50s vibe but she’s giving 1940s to me. but obviously glamor 1940s not war ridden 1940s

4. watching this w someone who hasn’t read the book is so enjoyable. when lucy gray dropped the snake down mayfairs shirt Boyfriend got SO tense “waitwait did she just try to fuckin murder her??” god forbid women do anything

5. okay sorry but the first time i watched it i was trying not to smile (in a laugh-y way) when lucy grays singing part came on. when i read it i thought that part ate but actually seeing it was so different for some reason. i think this feeling might be amplified if you’ve never read the book bc my sister felt the exact same way she said it was kinda fuckin cringe. idk if it was just bc we were at home or she was just feeling silly but she started singing that one camp rock song that’s like “we can’t back down.” which ok yeah that was kinda lucy grays song in a nutshell but it kinda did piss me off bc the “you can kiss my ass!!!!” part was coming on soon and i was stressing over them missing it. also didnt lucy gray have a full on dance break in the book?? god. they should have kept that in

6. okay that scene where she bowed and d12’s nasty ass coal industry being in the background is still one of my fav scenes. ugh loved it

7. wovey idk what it was this time but when she was like “im rlly good at climbing” i almost burst into tears. guys she’s really good at climbing

8. hunter schafer literally killed this. i’d argue that tigris is just as much of a product of her environment as snow is but i don’t rlly know how to articulate that

9. speaking of the reading vs watching thing i mentioned earlier: it rlly jumped out with grandmaam. idk why but when i was reading it grandmaam was SO scary and intimidating to me but watching her so frail and skinny and slightly senile talk about how lucy gray is a killer just seemed so crazy. especially since we know snow believes her

10. “they’re gonna get bombed aren’t they” wtf i walk into every movie clueless how are ppl straight up predicting entire events. but again w the reading vs watching i was GAGGED when they got bombed in the book but in the movie it seemed weird?? like “get the camera on her” and then it just feels like they’re trying to take up space until the actual bombs land. but whatever im being so bitchy i wasn’t surprised bc i literally knew it was gonna happen

11. “i want coral making my latte” and i want tanner on the grill

12. i think it was tanner, but i rlly liked his outfit. i liked all their outfits actually. i’ve been watching so many reels abt the costume designer explaining her inspo for the costumes (like tigris and her 1940s glamor thing going on)

13. okay seriously why did they cut out the kiss… and then when they actually did kiss why did they have lucy gray pull away at first…… i know francis lawrence saying this was a love story was icky but he did a bad job at portraying that so maybe we were worried for nothing (jk we were worried for all the right reasons bc if i had a nickel for every time someone said “i thought they were gonna get married!” about lucy gray and snow i’d have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice). also not to be a hater but snowbaird fans actually fucking irritate me. like the fans that are like “but what if it was wholesome 🥺🥺” what if lucy gray tried to kill him and he tried to kill her back? what if he managed to track her down and she bit him again? what if they hate each other so much that they’re only together bc they wanna see the other person suffer? what then

14. tbh seeing billy taupe made me feel a bit guilty 😭😭. almost terminated my ao3 acc but i get that feeling every time someone mentions something im obsessed w in a very casual way so it wasn’t rlly that serious. also someone either on tiktok or insta was like “was i the only person who preferred snows curls to his buzz cut?” and i genuinely couldn’t tell if they were joking bc like. everyone prefers snows curls to his buzz cut. even snow prefers his curls to his buzzcut. with that being said billy taupe needed to lose the cap

15. ngl the ballad of lucy gray baird actually did make me cry a bit… lucy gray was only 16 she needed to be on tumblr

16. where’d she get that guitar from tho

17. i wish they would have kept in the tributes death parade. that part was icky

18. okay there was a scene where lucky had a drink and then he flicked something off it and pup (i think that was his name) flinched cos it landed on his neck that was so fucking funny i hate that this was the first time i noticed it

19. okay seriously why did they make dill get poisoned. also that cornocopia scene. hmph

20. the first time i watched it i remembered being really confused why lucky called mizzen Merciless Mizzen. but omg after he tried chasing lucy gray down in that vent i understood that was crazy of him. and it did seem like he was an actual teenager which actually made it more unsettling. i feel like rachel zegler has a baby face (i actually think she was 17 in west side story and she looks the exact same now) but mizzen’s actor sing singing her name was perfect

21. lamina at the beam… didn’t she manage to kill someone in the book??

22. “does this mean we get to go home??” god i wish

23. but also “please lucy i can’t have killed all of them for nothing” i liked that she didn’t call her lucy gray that was a nice touch. but also. what a crazy thing to ask. i wonder if she thought lucy gray would be chill w that

24. take this with a grain of salt i haven’t read the books in so long but when snow snuck up on lucy gray in the meadow didn’t she level her guitar at him and then be like “sorry lol i still have one foot in the arena :P” they should have had her hit him in the face w it

25. the old therebefore still hits. i wish they would have included scenes where snow is shown to genuinely dislike her songs like in the books. in the movies he seems more disinterested in what she’s doing which is still bad but also it doesn’t seem as overt as him literally hating on her for no fuckin reason. which i guess is bc we have no insight into his head, like i think someone pointed out that in the book and movie he cried over sejanus being dead but in the book we know it’s bc he was scared it was gonna be him next but in the movie it just looked like he was sad. which i get it he’s perceived as nice by other people but the audience is not supposed to be other ppl we know what his motives are. im not sure how that’d be solved, cos i guess it would be pretty annoying to have him voice his thoughts and you also don’t wanna spoon feed ur audience but like. idk. seems like something you’d wanna make super clear bc to me it didn’t seem like you were supposed to like / sympathize with him, but the way it was done kinda seemed half baked

26. speaking of that… Boyfriend did not get the memo that snow was fucking crazy. “i thought he was gonna marry lucy gray in d12” WHY? like why would you even think that. were u not paying attention during the hunger games trilogy marathon where would lucy gray fit into that. since my sister thought the exact same thing she tried being like “see? it’s confusing” but it actually isn’t. that’s still a better reaction than my brother he was actually being a fucking weirdo about it cos when snow found lucy grays scarf in the woods and then the snake bit him this mfer went “she tried to kill him” no!!! but i think there might be something to be said about how snow, completely sober, came to the same conclusion as my brother, who was so high he couldn’t even remember who sejanus was

27. okay that’s a lot of sibling lore so atp i think i better end the post. bye

[chthonicgodling]

AN ELYSIUM DRAMA UPDATE - TWO! 🎊LIBBY & TY ALSO GOT MARRIED!🎊 approximately 30 seconds after Chal (Libby’s twin) and Bel (Ty’s twin) of course!!** (see THEIR special moment over here!)

**[[actually to split hairs twins is a super simplification, in which Libby is very literally Chal’s superego brought to life and Bel and Ty are loosely one singular deity split apart into two halves and two separate bodies BUT, I DIGRESS, QUIRKY THINGS🤪🤪 it’s all just a codependent quartet in the end💞- NNYWAY]]

the continuation from, one post back!!, another abridged canon convo, their own moment!! where summary bc of wedding ceremony anxieties everyone agrees to privately sign marriage certificates and Be Married long before their double-wedding, but that stiiiil countssss<33

I didn’t plan on doing a whole comic for them like at all to be perfectly honest hHhaA BUT I FELT BAD for thE blatant favoritism ,,, whoops,,,!! SO, SUDDENLY, here!! & cameos from all proud parents!! (jumpscare again He Is Always Here) fgkfk Maci’s crying now wait til a WEDDING

Libby & Ty’s relationship began relatively dramafree in the background of Chal & Bel’s intensely dramatic relationship path for literally just as long, but they’ve been straight chillin from day one so this is less of a “I can’t believe how far we’ve come” than a “AWW THEYRE STILL SO CUTE”

AND once again - a special thank youuu to MY better half @fenixethekid (handler for Ty, Tory, also Bel, also Eury-Epi, and yknow. Many more.) - she’s responsible for all that orange, Ty’s I do lol ofc- and also, for Ty having the forethought to not TRAP BABY VID IN BETWEEN their first kiss like Bel did to Baby N fgkgkkf which was really just a split second moment but a funny enough typical difference between Ty & Bel that it’s now the punchline. To me. oh my god. so im so glad that so many of you noticed N bein squished in that last comic for this compare-contrast lmaAOOO???

so their time to shine! YAYAY!!! and now we move back into slowly wedding planning and designing little outfits 🥺🥹 but on paper it’s alll squared away!! 💍💍💍 congrats to all FOUR of our kidsss 💞🎊💞🎊💞🎊🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[rhythmic-idealist]

I believe giving cash directly is most often the most impactful thing you can do.

One exception for myself, with what I have to offer, is giving out water bottles in the Los Angeles heat:

At the local Food4Less I can get three 40 packs of regular full-size water bottles for $19.60ish (including the CRV per bottle) - round that up to $20 for 120 water bottles (3 packs x 40 bottles).

Around here, the CHEAPEST you’re gonna buy an individual water bottle for is $1.25. Expect $1.75-$2.00, but let’s use the cheapest number.

Water bottles are a NEED. If I give someone a water bottle (and if they want and take it, obvs), then MOST of the time, that’s $1.25 they won’t need to spend later.

If I have $20 to spare, I can give 20 people $1, and let’s say they each find a quarter on the ground and can each go get a water bottle.

Or I can buy ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY water bottles, and give out for free water that would otherwise have cost….. if purchased individually…..

1.25 x 120 = 150

One-hundred and fifty dollars worth of individually purchased bottled water.

A friend did the math. When I buy the forty packs, I’m getting these bottles for 17 cents each.

I give cash when I’m able, no matter what else I’m doing. Lately I can’t most of the time—not because I have literally zero in the bank, but because there are major needs in my life that I need to be aware of and tending to. But whenever I do decide I have a dollar. For me, that’s about once or twice a week. I’m looking forward to when it’s more often again, but it is what it is.

Anyway, I wanted to share this because I think that it’s a really impactful thing a person can do, with not much funds, some time on their hands, and definitely a strong confidence in your ability to walk for a while in the sun.

I usually toss the water bottles in the freezer first and then let them sit out and start to thaw toward drinkable before going out, but today half of them hadn’t been in the freezer at all, and people appreciated them just the same.

As for how to do this! I put together some of my own experience to share, & what you do might vary in any number of ways, but here's a mixture of advice and just things I think.

Before going out:

Bring water for yourself. At least one if not two bottles. Also bring a snack. I suggest a hat and sunscreen.

Are you able to walk/safely move in the sun for a while, while carrying water bottles and whatever you need for yourself? The terrain might get uneven, depending on where you are.

Having a buddy is a good idea. I often don’t, but I did when I started and still do at times - it helps you be safe and helps you keep an eye on your own needs (are you overheating? do you need water? have you been walking too long? I frequently don’t notice these things without a buddy.)

If you don’t have a buddy to go with - first of all, be an adult. Or else go with a buddy.

Secondly: set a timer for water and sitting down breaks! And bring your fully-charged phone.

Running out of water bottles isn't what's gonna determine when you're done for the day. Heat, tiredness, and exertion will determine when you're done for the day. The one time I accidentally pushed past my own limits, I had actually only handed out water to about 5-7 people.

Go at a time of day when it is not dark, and not too early for people to want to be awake.

Having a car helps. It helps us drive the water there, and also helps us move between locations (maybe there are 10 people camping out on this side of the park and 10 more a few streets down).

Once actually out there:

Approach people from the front - if you’re behind someone you want to approach, walk around them in a wide arc. You are not trying to jumpscare anyone.

To approach a tent, don’t look inside. When I see a tent where I don’t see anyone outside but someone might be inside, I stop about 10 feet away and announce myself: “Hi! I have cold water bottles, do you want any? ¿Le gustarían unas botellas de agua?”

(I don’t speak Spanish. But that’s built off how I said “would you like any bags” at the grocery store, so I feel it must be close. It seems to be doing its job.)

Otherwise, just be personable and brief! My friend phrased it really well today: “People shouldn’t have to want to chat with you in order to get water.” I remind myself of that if I ever start to feel impersonal.

A potential script to loosely lead with: “Hi! I’m/my friend(s) and I are giving out water bottles today, do you want any?”

(I tend to give people 2 bottles each. This is fully up to you.)

I don’t generally wake people who are sleeping.* I do tend to leave a bottle or two. That’s up to personal preference.

Some people WILL want to tell you how their day has been. This whole handing out water bottles thing is something to do if you don’t mind lending an empathetic ear sometimes! It’s okay to excuse yourself in a friendly way though.

I learned this by going out first with an org that has experience - I definitely mimic a lot of mannerisms I saw there. I’m friendly, I treat people as equals without being overfamiliar, and I act like I’m talking to someone I met at a gathering at a friend’s house. Typical ways I respond to “thank you” include “totally/yeah of course - it’s so HOT lately” and the like. I usually part with a “take care!”

*(I HAVE had a situation, not when handing out water bottles but separately, where I come across someone who is sleeping in a very weird location, a very weird position, and without bedding, and it turned out that person was overdosing. We called emergency services, not recognizing what was happening but noting they were completely unresponsive, and someone got them Narcan. You obviously need to pace yourself with your level of panic about that. Usually, people are sleeping. But yes, it can be helpful and important to be the person who steps in, and it can be worth occasionally being mistaken. Everyone has different opinions about this. In my life, I’ve found it worth it on a couple occasions to wake someone and ask if they are okay - a person sleeping in a driveway who looked like they just fell there, for example.)

Things that could be a part of the above section, but I want to break this into another section anyway, to be readable, and I think you will get the gist of why they are grouped together.

I would call this section "emotional stuff":

Everyone you meet doesn’t need to like you, or be happy you came by. It’s okay, and you didn’t do any great wrong in the universe.

I’ve accidentally triggered someone’s PTSD by saying “hi” from behind him before he could see me (and sat with him and listened about it after, because that was within my boundaries with a stranger). I’ve stumbled through conversations where I couldn’t really understand what people were saying, and I’ve excused myself from conversations in ways that I think left some people feeling I don’t care very much. It’s still good that you went out. Everyone is gonna feel a different way about you, and that’s cool.

I often don’t process what people say the first time, I’m not very cool, and I don’t speak much Spanish. It’s alright. Life is just really awkward actually and so is every single conversation ever. You don’t have to worry about making your communication efficient.

People will say “God bless you.” You don’t have to say it back, but it might be helpful to you to figure out how you plan to reply to that!

Some closing thoughts that are among the most important to me:

Handle your boundaries the way you would with ANY stranger. Be kind, people are frequently having their worst days, and please give help wherever you can, just please know that you and any unhoused person you meet are in fact just two people. I wouldn’t play along with any untoward comments, for example, though I don’t let it mean I don’t give someone a water bottle. If someone is verbally attacking you I don’t expect you to give them a water bottle. You don’t have to let someone be racist at you, if that comes up. And so on. You understand me.

(For the record most people I’ve met are very cool though and very down to have a quick friendly “here’s a water bottle” convo. I’m just making sure you know! You’re interacting with a neighbor.)

You and the person you’re handing that water to are just two people! It’s chill and normal.

Anyway! There’s a thing I do. I hope this is helpful to someone! Please feel free to add to this post.

(Final note - I used the “$20 for 120 bottles” math since it was easy to explain, but I actually tend to only buy them 40 bottles at a time. That’s what works for me. I actually spent about $6.67 to get water that, if the bottles had been individually-purchased, would have cost $50.)

update on how my family’s managing after DotD

“tell them we’re devastated” HAHA

no joke christmas was ruined- felt the evil energy of the bbc merlin writers ten years ago, running through my veins, as I clicked on part 2 on prime video ;)

they soldiered through the first part like champs, only small comments on Arthur’s round table speech they wondered how Elyan’s seat had been replaced and immediately clocked Eira as a traitor bc ‘that’s something the show always does 🙄’

sisters were crying when Merlin was stuck in the crystal cave, and I was crying when he walked up the landslide of rocks after Balinor and disappeared into a halo of white light..

then the second episode started and I was

s h a k i n g

(still hearing the words ‘just really sad’ and ‘I can’t believe it’ and ‘she tricked us 😦’ in the living room as I type this up, and it’s been way more than 24 hours later…)

Gwen was so badass! 🥰 and Merlin was out there winning! And I remembered why this was so terrible the first time, the show works hard to give us this false sense of security.

I clicked on the episode knowing that within 5 minutes Arthur would be stabbed and I’d be able to retire from my long career as a loving older sister.

It was literally a ‘gasps hears around the world’ kinda moment, they all sat up and then, my second youngest sister the Mordred stan (she dressed up as him for our s2 finale costume contest) burst into tears! and I actually felt really bad.

But then the magic reveal!

It was deadly quiet when Merlin revealed his magic and there were a few long sighs when Arthur turned away to say ‘leave me’. I was pretty much inconsolable and this is my third rewatch personally. They did! make the connection between Merlin’s ‘fire dragon’ from ‘Moment of Truth’ and the one from this ep however :)

Then we had the long haul of waiting for the beginning of the real end really, and I was relieved to hear them giggle when Arthur and Merlin reminiscenced about their first market place fight, and Merlin’s ‘charm’.

then… The Real End

Of course my little brother (if you remember him from his story ‘Morgana’s Weak Quickening) had to gloat about how Merlin had ended her, just as he’d predicted, and everyone was shushing and glaring at him because it wasn’t the time lmao

I was already crying for real by the time Merlin had Arthur in his arms and they were exchanging their last words, and I was surprised to find later that they did! hear Arthur say ‘just hold me… please’ because I hadn’t heard it on my first watch.

There were no gasps or shouts when Arthur died, just silence…

No one jumped when the truck came on scene as a jumpscare (I was kind of mad at myself for getting startled even though I knew!), and then Merlin crossed our tv screen for the last time and I let the end credits play in full.

They shushed me after I attempted to speak in the two minutes after the credits ended, and it was so quiet for the next ten minutes I thought I broke them…

Their reactions:

Sister 1: ‘Wh-hat..?’

Sister 2: ‘HE DIDN’T DESERVE TO DIE’ (Mordred😵‍💫)

Sister 3: ‘But Gaius didn’t die?? I didn’t put ‘Arthur dies’ on my theory list…’

Brother: ‘I TOLD YOU SO. But… now I’m a little sad :(‘

Afterwards, I promised I’d let them all loose to look up any ‘spoilers’ for the show they wanted. (We have an unofficial rule that whenever we’re watching anything for the time, we can’t look up anything related for fear of spoilers. And I’m a very strict drill sergeant about this 🫡)

But they weren’t very interested…

Our Christmas morning was noticeably sadder. And I wondered again how families in 2012 had coped when their kids had struggled through the unfairness of the finale and still had to open presents the next morning… a mystery really…

They spent the whole. day. watching edits and playing sad music in the living room (to which my parents were very confused) and coming up to me to either rant or fight about the finale haha

Now my sister (the piano playing one) is learning how to play ‘Solas’ by Jamie Duffy on the piano bc she says it reminds her of Diamond of the day and she’s been very determined! All break, she’s been getting up to play ‘Solas’ and ‘Bond of Sacrifice’ and ‘The Love Theme’ and I’m proud of her, for getting this far and only a little concerned

- I think the kids are gonna be alright? lmao

They’ve made plans for fanart and fanfics and alternative endings and I think I’ve fully recruited them into the immoral fandom (if not happily) although I’m sure they’ll recover soon enough to join us in bittersweet reminiscence next year :)

oh! forgot to add one last thing

after rewatching ‘A Dragon’s Call’ last night my brother had one thing to say. “Arthur says ‘there’s something about you Merlin’ …but that something was that he would die in Merlin’s arms…” LMAO I almost died on the spot but I’m glad to see they’ve inherited the fandom’s morbid (or Mordred ;) sense of humor

[modgirlyreposts-revamped]

Ok thank you.

- I still haven’t decided where I stand on Shadow and spicy food. Thing is, he has a clear tolerance for… WEIRD foods, given he canonically eats straight coffee beans, so I don’t know if he would just be completely unbothered, like you could give him a ghost pepper and he’d eat it with a straight face, but it’s kind of an inside joke between me and Bread that he insists he can eat spicy food just fine, but literally could be taken out by a single buffalo wing and Sonic makes fun of him for it.

- As I’ve mentioned in the past I am a believer of the theory that Amy is a hybrid hedgehog/echidna. Given the echidnas were rapidly dying off, it’s entirely possible she and Knuckles have a shared parent if that’s true. Therefore, siblings. That or they at least share ancestry, and are the only two remaining of their tribe. Therefore, not really siblings, but I like to interpret them as having a familial type relationship.

- Amy is the only person he’ll really listen to even when her requests of him go against his plans. Otherwise he knows what he has to do and that’s what he’s doing.

- Knuckles is of Jamaican and Mesoamerican descent- Knuckles himself being intended to be Jamaican and the echidnas drawing from in particular Aztec and Mayan societies. Sonic is Egyptian, Tails is Japanese, Amy is Romani with Mesoamerican descent, Rouge is French on one side and American on the other, Silver and Blaze are Indian, and Shadow doesn’t really have an ethnicity on account of being genetically engineered. However, his sister figure Maria and her family are Slavic (Russian or Ukrainian is how I imagine them), so Shadow… kinda is?? I guess? And the above applies to Eggman as well because he’s… Maria’s cousin.

- Amy uses exclusively cute anime gifs to express herself over text. Every social media she has has the same y2k girly anime aesthetic. Sonic ends every worrying sentence he types with “lmao.” Tails uses emoticons like :), :[, ^^ and ^-^. Eggman types in all caps with full punctuation, and Knuckles uses no capitals but full punctuation as well.

- Amy doesn’t like horror movies, she thinks they’re gross, but she can sit through one easily. Shadow watches a lot of intense/thriller movies, so maybe on like Halloween, they get together to watch horror movies and Shadow sits super fixated on the story the entire time while Amy laughs at any jumpscare and sits super relaxed the whole time, talking about how she would try to survive if she were there. I feel like she would get PISSED at the ending of The Ring, and as someone else pops out the DVD to switch it for another movie, she’s furiously ranting about how the protagonist “just got lucky! that’s not fair!! what kind of storytelling is that?!” On the flip side, they watch Saw, and she just shrugs and says “it was fine, just an excuse to put some people in a torture room, but fine”

- Sonic can’t sit still for any movies, unless it’s like, John Wick mostly. He likes Keanu Reeves.

- Knuckles speaks both English and Spanish. Both pretty imperfectly, but he can speak both.

As someone who can live off of spicy things, being Asian and all, Shadow being weak af with spicy foods kills me-

Halloween Film Frightstival Day 30 Double Feature: Paranormal Activity (2007) & The Amityville Horror (1979)

I’m ending up pretty busy this week but I still wanna try and watch some extra movies for the last two days of the month. I’m aiming for films I’ve wanted to see but never got around to watching

I’m not fond of found footage films (partly because of my motion sickness) so so far Paranormal Activity isn’t impressing me

This is such white people bullshit, talk about fuck around and find out. People who fuck with ouija boards deserve to get got

I mean like yeah the footage when they’re asleep or not home is scary and the possession shit is scary, but mostly only if it were actually real

Anyway this movie is kinda boring and just makes me glad I’m not a straight people. It has some moderately scary moments (I did close my eyes at the jumpscares at the end, because I hate jumpscares) but mostly it was kind of annoying? At least I didn’t get nauseous from the shaky camera? Not getting nauseous was probably the best part of the movie

Okay on to Amityville Horror now. I know a little bit of the background on this and one time my mom was watching some true crime about the murders while I was napping on the couch and I ended up dreaming about it so let’s see the scariness factor compared to my dreams.

I know housing is expensive but I can’t imagine willingly moving into a house that you knew six people were murdered in

I won’t lie, that cat jumpscared me. That’s embarrassing, it’s just a little kitty

It’s reminiscent of other films of the era, The Exorcist, Burnt Offerings, Don’t Look Now, even The Shining. The demon “rules” aren’t always clear to me, like we have a very haunted house that sits over a portal to hell and some people, like the nun aunt, feel much better when they leave, yet the demons still have enough power to attack and blind the priest when not only has he not been on the property in weeks, but he’s in a church (which often provide sanctuary from demonic stuff in horror movies)

Aw a giant demon piggy, I love him!

Okay now it’s literally just The Shining. Crazed man axes bathroom door? That’s The Shining

Can’t believe they left the dog behind and then had the audacity to be mad when George tried to go back for him. If Harry gets hurt I’m gonna smash the tv, he’s such a good dog

Okay and it ends with very few stakes, they just escape and the house is still haunted. A lot of buildup for very little reward

Overall neither of these movies impressed me much today in scares or even subjective “goodness”. Hopefully what I have cooked up to watch tomorrow will be better because these weren’t befitting of Halloween Eve

ahora a hablar de haikyuu<3 JAJAJAJA pero literal son tan drama and I love them for that, peak comedy🤌🏽 no me gusta escuchar doblajes pero me han aparecido eng dub scenes y hasta en inglés da risa JAJSJAJAJA eso si el castellano no lo puedo escuchar con seriedad 💀💀💀 JAJAJAJA those are like jumpscares and I can’t believe they allowed to air that LMAO

JAJAJAJAJAJAJJA PERDÓN pero me encantó la frase chilena del final JAJAJAJJA I have seen the joke around but I was so damn scared thinking it was about Daichi genuinely dying as an adult or something and thought I was being spoiled I hate everyone 😭😭 EL NIÑO DÁNDOLE TODO POR EL EQUIPO Y ASÍ SE LO PAGAN??? and there I was all tense bc what if they loose their focus and motivation if Daichi is not there to reassure them?? what if they’re indeed too dependent on their captain and it costs them their match??

MI MEJOR AMIGA TAMBIÉN LE GUSTA IWA-CHAN JAJAJAJAJAJA amé, es que todos son bien lindos<3 I also have a soft spot for Akaashi I just love how he tries to act nonchalant about Bokuto but gets super worried when he’s feeling down :’) MÁS QUE- okay espero no odies la astrología y los chistes JAJAJA yo sé que los cumpleaños son inventados y coincidencias, pero me parece muy chistoso que como alguien que es virgo mis favs en ambos animes son escorpios porque una amiga que le encanta la astrología me leyó mi carta natal y dijo que mi compatibilidad sería buena con los escorpios y yo “nah pero nunca me ha gustado un escorpio” and well, they’re not real but they ended up being scorpios JAJAJAJAJ

that is one of my fave character development stories as well and I cried too, I truly felt so happy and proud for Tsuki🫶🏽 y cuando se acerca al coach IGUALITO A TOBIO diciendo que está en buen estado para seguir jugando 😭😭😭 every time he appeared in front of the opponents smiling like a little shit bc he knew he was annoying them gave me so much joy y yo “ESE ES MI NIÑO!!! GET THEM TSUKI!!!”

ay si yo también JAJAJAJAJA I think everyone just wanted a season tbh and while I know that being an animator is so hard in these times in this economy, I would love to believe that they could’ve had the revenue if they went with a season bc of the hype, pero en este caso literalmente quién soy yo para saber si funcionaba JAJAJAJAJAJA pero si, concuerdo con eso de la importancia del partido porque si había tensión y se sentía pero por Kenma tratando de manipular y sobrepasar a Hinata, lo cuál estuvo bien explorado pero si extrañé la rivalidad entre los equipos y el darse cuenta de que es un partido de todo o nada, solo se siento literal cuando perdieron y como fue de golpe fue como ª JAJAJAJAJAJA and yeah I was so sad we didn’t get too many scenes of the karasuno team :cc like you said I almost don’t remember Asahi or Tanaka or Nishinoya’s moments at all :cc Y QUE BONITOS KURODAI ABRAZÁNDOSE DESPUÉS DEL PARTIDO AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! BUT NO YEAH YOU’RE RIGHT!!! it’s just a stupid rivalry that has no deep reasoning behind it and I live for it, literal la razón por la que vuelvo a ver el primer partido de karasuno vs nekoma y el training camp de la segunda temporada JAJAJAJAJAJA I just love their silly glaring but trying to keep the diplomacy but actually I get you dude these idiots are my everything now

yo sigo buscando dónde puedo ver esta película porque de verdad que esa escena me tuvo en completa concentración, expectativa y ansiedad que necesito volver a verla para poder procesarla mejor JAJAJAJAJAJJAJA it also shows how much thought is put into bringing to life the emotions that were felt by reading still images, o sea de verdad que cada formato tiene su potencial y su manera de cómo se interpretan los momentos y emociones pero con esa escena de verdad que lograron traducir y presentar como esa es una realidad en los deportes: todo se siente intenso y como que nunca va a terminar y cuando menos lo esperas ya ganaste o perdiste, el momento en que estabas peleando por seguir jugando ya pasó :’)

es que yo si era bien chistosa JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ💀💀 de pequeña si me gustaba el fútbol y jugaba en el equipo pero cuando cambié de colegios resultó que no dejaban que las niñas jugaran fútbol, solo basket desde peques y volley hasta el sexto grado, entonces 1) el basket nunca me gustó porque no podía rebotar la bola y tenía miedo que me cayera en la cara 2) el volley se me hacía similar al basket porque también tenía miedo que me pegaran en la cara JAJAJA lo chistoso es que yo sé que igual me hubieran podido pegar en la cara si continuaba jugando fútbol 😂😂 pero creo que porque pausé de jugar y mi única exposición al deporte se volvió el que no me gustaba, quizás me puso predispuesta a no querer participar en ninguno:’) but yeah now I find volley super interesting and fun and I wish I could play, but I might be too old for that now and I don’t have anyone to play with lol

y ahora que ya empezaron los olímpicos yo dije “HEEEEEY- momento de ver buen volley y poder disfrutarlo porque lo entiendo😌” and then I see that most of the matches happen at 5 am for me 🤡🤡🤡 ya basta por qué escogieron a los franceses?? JAJAJAJAJAJA I think I might end up watching highlights bc I don’t even have a tv to watch a sports channel and I don’t think/don’t know if they will be streaming for free on youtube or something🥲 has logrado ver algún partido?? JAJAJAJAJA

(also I’m so sorry Belle I realized I’m talking SOOO much, I have been a certified yapper even before the term was coined so I apologize najdkekfk)

el dub depende tanto del momento AJJAAJ pq de q hay joyitas hay joyitas, pero hay otras cosas q te hacen decir ay jesú nooooooooo

NO EXACTLY i've seen a lot of people saying they don't wanna watch it because they keep seeing that daichi is dead and i'm like i'm gonna fucking Hunt the idiot that started that joke, and all the losers that keep it alive, por todo lo q tu dijiste, se demuestra tanto cuanto necesitan a daichi en el equipo y lo importante q es tanto pal juego y moralmente pero nooooooo hagamos q toda esa escena sea solo un ja ja ta muerto. fomes de mierda (perdón lo chilena nuevamente AJJAJA)

no puedo decir nada pq mi astrología dice q me gustan los capricornios y ahí estoy, defendiendo a daichi el amor de mi vida con mi vida AJAJAJJA será toda inventada la astrología pero a veces le atinan y uno queda como espera..... será real esto AJJAJA y akaashi también es el mejor ay esq yo los amo a todos tanto AJJAJA

NO BUT THAT'S LITERALLY MEEEEEEEE cuando es el partido contra shiratorizawa y tendo dice "ah el regular" y tsukki lo bloquea al toque y le dice "si, soy el regular de karasuno, un gusto jeje" yo estaba gritando pa la caga pq ESE ES MI CABROOOOOO he said i might not be a freak but hey i can be sooooooo fucking annoying you just wait

the thing is, with the amount of money they made with the movie? yeah they 100% had the revenue to properly pay the animators to make a full season, the same with the one that's coming soooo many things are gonna be cut out which i get it, it's an adaptation it doesn't have to be 100% faithful to the manga but man, i wish it was because there are so many moments i wanna see animated sooo so badly. but yeah the movie was great but i think we deserved more too 😔

kurodai literal lo mejor de la vida furudate danos un one shot de ellos como amigos a los treinta yo séeeeeeeeeeeeee q tienes algo por ahí guardado y lo merecemos AJJAJJA

lucky for you!! the dvd is coming out on october so it's prob gonna be uploaded online around that time as well LMAO y siiiii super de acuerdo, en papel era imposible capturar ese punto de vista, o si se lograba no iba a tener el mismo impacto pq no era como q fueses tu la persona jugando, tendré muchas cosas q decir de la película pero ese momento se merece todas sus flores y aún más

no pero lo de la pelota en la cara es tan real, pa uno de los partidos q jugué literal me llegó en la cabeza como a hinata y me tuvieron q cambiar AJAJAJ también siempre he tenido ese miedo pero también jungando fútbol era arquera 💀 o sea la probabilidad de q me llegase a la cara y me rompiera los lentes? 100% AJAJAJJA y nooo uno nunca es muy viejo pa empezar a jugar, o sea obvio no de la manera q lo hacen los profesionales ajajaj pero conozco harta gente de 30 y 40 q siguen jugando volley o q recién partieron! así q de q se puede se puede ajajaj (pero estoy igual q no tengo con quién jugar por mucho q quiera ajajaj)

pucha no sé si estás en latino américa o no, o si lo bloquean fuera de latino américa, pero claro sports por youtube tiene casi todo! y dejan las repeticiones también asi q si son a la hora nona uno las puede ver cuando se levanta (pero admitiré q me quedé despierta hasta las 5 sólo pa ver el debut de japón y me fui a dormir triste pq perdieron ese JAJAJA)

and no worries for reaaaaaaaaal i love your asks so much they're always so fun to answer and i love knowing what you're up to <3
