Attack Dog

Sweet Pea X Reader enemies to lovers

Synopsis: You return to Riverdale to find your best friend Jughead has joined a gang he said he never would. A certain member of said gang takes an interest in you in return

A/N: This was a draft from years ago. It's set when the Serpents join Riverdale high (a throwback) but also somehow their senior year....

This is very long, apologies.

Pt. 2 Pt. 3 Pt. 4 Pt. 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You piled your books into your locker, the Monday dew still cascading the halls. Groggily going about your business but happy to be finally back in Riverdale High. You had moved back on Friday night with your family and had already seen most of your friends that same night. After moving around so much with both your parents in the army it was nice to finally replant your roots.

“Ah yn, how I have missed you standing there" Archie threw himself against the locker smiling.

“I missed you too Archiedoodles, do you think we can go see Jughead today?” Archie had decided to keep you away from Jughead for as long as possible, he didn't quite think you'd want to see who had become. 

“Emm I don't know, he's kinda busy lately” 

“Too busy for me...did you hear that?” It was like a scene from a film. The banging of the hallway doors and entered the Serpents, their new school. You and Archie looked to see the swarm before Archie could see who was leading them.

“Oh hey YN look at this locker door” he turned you against the lockers by the shoulders.

“Archie what the hell” you laughed pushing against him to turn and see Jughead striding past you 

“Juggy!” 

“Yn!?” You ran over to him, interrupting his new hard core image, giving him a giant hug. 

“What the hell are you doing back?” he smiled greatly shock still colouring him.

“Mom's done with the Army so she moved us back, dad still has a few more years but that's okay, I'm back! What are you doing here Arch said you moved schools?”

“School moved us”

“Us?” It was then you noticed the sward behind him and the leather jackets they wore. You took a step back, all of them eyeing you.

“Oh….umm” Archie joined your side, the group glaring at him harshly. 

“I thought you said you'd never jo-”

“-uh yn this isn't the place for this conversation” Jughead interrupted you.

“Well then make it the place Jughead” a chorus of oohs from behind him followed.

“Come on yn let's go, you must meet Veronica” Archie wrapped an arm around you breaking the stare off you and Jughead were having.

~

The day flowed on and you avoided Jughead as much as possible, until the final bell rang and he cornered you outside your car.

“Yn we need to talk”

“I'd love to talk to Jughead, let me know when you see him will you?” you opened the car door but he closed it again, almost catching your fingers in it. You sighed loudly at his action.

“Yn it is still same the Jughead-”

“Really?! I remember a Jughead who hated the Serpents and what they did to his dad and how they're basically the reason his family is in two! I remember a Jughead who promised he'd never get caught up in that world! Because you sir, are not him!” you jabbed your finger into his chest.

“Hey Jones you coming?” A tall serpent called from across the carpark.

“Just a second! Yn this shouldn't be a big deal, so I have a family now, it doesn't matter!”

“You have a family now?! What am I then?! And Archie and Betty?! We were your family, your friends….” you looked down at the ground and he looked desperately at you, the tall Serpent called him from the background again before beginning to stride over. 

“YN, I don't want to have this conversation in front of the Serpents, I have to keep a strong front for them” you rolled your eyes at him as Sweet Pea reached his side. You couldn't help but glare at him and he gave a small laugh. 

“Jones, who's the attack dog?”

“Listen here Snake Brain-” 

“YN, leave it!” Jughead cut across you earning another laugh from Sweet Pea, you began to seethe at your old best friends defence of his new family member. 

“Just call me when you feel like being yourself again” you breathed out the words until your lungs nearly emptied, moving to open the car again to be stopped by Sweet Peas voice 

“i think the snake skin is him Princess-”

“Don't you have some drugs to deal to children or something -” you cut across him this time.

“And what is that supposed to mean?” Sweet Pea raised an eyebrow, smile now long gone. Jughead looked between the two of you

“I meant what I said, or is the leather jacket cutting off the blood flow to your ears”

“Listen I don't know you Princess but you're not exactly making a good impression-”

“I don't give a fuck what you think about me, you seem to care a lot about what I think about you though” more Serpents seemed to join around, panic began to rise in Jughead, his attempted to stop Sweet Pea but Sweet Peas voice came harsher.

“You're seriously misguided Princess” 

“And you're seriously what's wrong with Riverdale” you said through gritted teeth, receiving scoffs from the gathering Serpents but Sweet Pea stated unreadable eyes fixed on you. 

“Guys just relax, YN I'll call you later” Jughead reached for your arm but you moved took a step back.

“Don't bother”

~ 

For the remainder of the week you avoided Jughead and the rest of them, instead spending time with your friends you missed so much. Catching up with all the chaos that had gone down since you left 3 years ago, and there was a lot. It was nice to feel like a senior around your friends, how it should be. You were shocked that for the most part everyone was understanding of Jughead joining the Serpents, you couldn't really understand it. Jughead continued to try to text or call you until you had enough. You needed a break from it, leaving your phone turned off on your dresser before putting on your runners. 

You tried to process how you felt as you jogged through Riverdale, trying to remember your old route. You were zoned out of the world as your legs took you from a jog to run, the burn growing from your thighs down to your shins. You had been out for an hour or so now and by the third wrong turn you landed out of your subconsciousness and back to the world in front of you. Lost. How could you forget the town you grew up in. Suddenly you became very aware of the dark night that had closed around you. You looked around for anywhere still open, only a gruby bar was in your sights. They probably had a phone you thought, walking right past the fading sign of the Whyte Wyrm. 

Upon approach you noticed the large amount of motorbikes outside the door.  Then the amount of Serpents jackets and their owners flowing in and out of the bar. Shit you thought. You turned to leave back through the carpark you just walked through and instead crashed directly into an older Serpent and his pint of larger, sending it all over him. 

“What the fuck?!” He half yelped at the cold hitting his chest. You stuttered apologies as you moved to walk past him. Instead he caught your wrist with bone crushing force. Without realising what you were doing, you sent the heel of your hand straight up and into his nose, contorting it completely. He shouted before releasing you and you moved from his shadow, other Serpents witnessing the incident and gathering quickly. You begged your tired legs to bring you running back to the main road as some began to follow you shouting. 

Sweet Pea walked around the wall of the car park boarder and was immediately confused by the several Serpents beginning to run towards his direction. You didn't even take notice of him as you ran past, your leg then spasming, sending you my into the pavement. He didn't know where to look. You pulled yourself cursing behind the pillar of the entrance, resting your head again the cement of its support, preparing to get mangled by Serpents. 

“Sweet Pea!” An older woman shouted his name bringing his attention from you and your attention to him. 

“Ehh yes Penny?” 

“Did you see a girl, Y/C/H, this tall or so” the woman made a guestimate of your height with her hand. You held your breath as Sweet Pea fought every instinct to not look down at you. 

“Emm I did see someonel go over the hedges towards the back there, maybe thats her?” 

“Great, she just broke one of the Seniors noses, girls dead meat” shock painted Sweet Peas face and he tried not to laugh at the thought. The woman then gave a wave before running off with the others in the direction he sent them. He exhaled loudly, looking at where you once were sat, now empty. Sweet Pea looked quickly to find your shadow hobbling down the road you think you came down. He gave a small laugh, rolled his eyes and began to jog to catch up with you.

[amelodie]

A few months ago I started writing this about my silent film mini-obsession, and then ~life~ happened. wellntruly had written about watching a whole lot of classic films chronologically and the idea really struck and inspired me. So I pulled out my letterboxd watchlist and fortunately/unfortunately immediately got stuck in the silent film era.

All of the 14 'films' I watched in under 3 weeks were fascinating. Some were partially lost media, some were shorts, some I hated but also enjoyed, and some I deeply adored and enjoyed.

If you're interested in watching a couple of these yourself, as Gillian Anderson(1) said, "There is no such thing as a silent film". All of these are up on Wikimedia (embedded in their Wikipedia page) (wonderful!) without a soundtrack (still under copyright) (not wonderful!). DO NOT watch a silent film without any sound. Live your life, but it will be diminished in my opinion if you do this.

I watched a bunch of these on Kanopy. Your local online film archive may also have a copy (looking at you EYE Film Netherlands) or your local streaming. Many are also up on archive.org and youtube. Do be aware on Youtube most of the "HD" "4K" or "colorized" videos are AI adjusted. Honestly, personally, a bunch of these I did watch on Wikimedia with someone's matching youtube soundtrack on in the background. But a high-quality crafted {silent film + sound} product is unparalleled.

Welcome to my silent film mini-obsession journal.

(1) Not that one

Filibus: The Mysterious Air Pirate (1915, 71min) (Kanopy)

First off the watchlist, and introduced to me through hotvintagepoll, Filibus is an adventure-serial-inspired crossdressing Italian Futurist film. And it's in colour! (tinted).

The film is fun and historically fascinating, and it also illustrates a lot of the broad points of engaging with silent films. Unfortunately, the fullness of the vast majority of silent film is lost to time. And through degradation and missing pieces, plus their conventions and pacing, the silent films we have available to us now can be occasionally slow or boring in places. For me, these losses compound. If I could just clearly see the backgrounds and the details of the acting, maybe the slower pacing of some scenes wouldn't be as disengaging.

But Filibus is still fairly well preserved. Its low budget avant garde-ness is adorable. And I need you to know that, yes, Filibus as crossdresser is very hot, especially the way she moves, and the highly delineated gender presentations of the time make her read, to my current eyes, fascinatingly well as a man.

The Abyss (Afgrunden) (1910, 38min) (DanishFilmInstitute, Youtube)

Then came my first of many tangents. Inspired by one hot women, I became curious about other major stars of the era. And Asta Nielsen's charisma shines through the poor quality print and messy gender (and racial) politics of this film (with a flash warning for the later chemical degradation). This is a erotic melodrama. A miniscule budget debut that became an overnight international sensation. I loved the locations and Asta Nielsen. And thank you fashion history youtubers for helping me realise that my girl is not only grinding in her famous dance scene, but also is not wearing any undergarments. Scandalous!

Assunta Spina (1915, 73min) (Youtube, 2)

Another major star of the era, Francesca Bertini, and the quality of the first copy of Assunta Spina I watched was bad. I jumped forward through most of it, finding it beautiful, confusing and exhausting. And with a full runtime and higher resolution, unfortunately the plot wasn't much improved. A melodrama about another fallen woman, the scenery, locations, acting and staging is gorgeous. It's obvious why it's called a precursor to Italian Neorealism, and why Bertini was a big star, but the fun Italian crimes of Filibus are much more entertaining to me than the realistic Italian crimes of Assunta Spina.

The Curse of Quon Gwon (1917, 35min) (Wikimedia)

Partial lost media, The Curse was made in Oakland in local stores and homes by Marion E. Wong. It's hard to evaluate as we only have two reels and no intertitles surviving of the full length picture. But again, it is beautiful and historically fascinating despite the plot confusion. The clothes, props, 1910s Chinese American perspective and mainly non-actor characters made it worth it to me. Plus it passes the Bechdel Test (tfw she curses you for not being traditional enough while living in a new country)!

One Week (1920, 25min) (Kanopy)

From the villiannesses of the 1910s to the failhusbands of the 1920s, it is babe himself, Buster Keaton. A newly married couple try to build and live in a make-it-yourself kit house. If you've never watched Keaton, I think One Week is a great place to start. It's sweet, short, and relatable, with some great gags.

It's also where I got stuck writing this up the first time, because I don't know how to express anything or everything about Buster Keaton (and hence this short) in a short pithy manner. If I was trying to convince a friend to join me on the dark side (silent comedies), I would play this as an entrée before Safety Last! (and then hopefully we'd go back and watch all of Keaton's work, and Fatty Arbuckle, and throw in some from director Mack Sennett for good measure).

Thematically relevant for my life (and many of our lives unfortunately) at the moment, as I too live right next to the train tracks in a house falling down around us.

The Kid (1921, 52min) (SBS OnDemand, Kanopy, Wikimedia)

Fuck Charlie Chaplin. (Though there is a point in this (if you've seen it, you know) where I teared up. As is often noted, The Kid himself's acting is phenomenal.)

A slapstick comedy about poverty, morality and the family. The sound stages and costuming (and skills yes) are very cool. But, while I delighted in building the context for films of the time, their repeated images and resonant ideas, and knowing big influential films in their real rather than imaginary form, I hated this. Not to reference wellntruly again, but in contrast to how Keaton is emotive and carefully constructed, Chaplin is cynical but sentimental, moralising as opposed to tapping into something real and transcendent (while silly).

Safety Last! (1923, 72min) (Kanopy, Wikimedia, Youtube)

Go watch this right now!* if you haven't already and have a tolerance for silent movies. Incredibly charming and genuinely terrifying. The copy online is great with a wonderful soundtrack. A country boy moves to the big city, becomes a shop boy, and begins drowning in modernity and capitalism to impress his sweetheart.

Harold Lloyd is the final in the three big silent comedy stars, and he utilised mise-en-scène for comedic effect a lot more than Chaplin or Keaton. The big finale stunt here was one of the most tense moviegoing experiences of my life. I knew no one died on set, I knew the actors lived to make more movies, but I was still physically scared for Harry Lloyd and his stunt doubles.

*with a warning for a moment of small anti-black racism.

The Last Laugh (Der letzte Mann) (1924, 90min) (Youtube, Wikimedia)

Did I hate a good part of this? Yes. Was I deeply emotionally attached to the main character? Yes. Is it beautiful? Yes. Did I ultimately dislike it? Yes. Am I glad I watched this? Yes. Is it a good film? Yes.

A man is his work is his status is his ego is his country, and he's ailing and being replaced. Technically wonderful. A historically fascinating wrestle with Germany identity post-WWI and the shift to modernity. But, aside from the dynamism and cinematography of the camera, as a great film I'm not sure how singular it is, how much significantly more it's doing placed among its contemporaries. As repeated again later, I wonder how the experience of a modern cinephile, who watches maybe three silent films, might overemphasise the total greatness of single works like this, plucked out of context, misunderstanding the nuance and huge strides of many many of the contemporaries of the era.

Wings (1927, 144min) (Archive.org, Youtube)

The big silent Hollywood WWI epic melodrama. Two boys go off to war and now I will forever wonder if all WWI movies are actually just Wings again. Drags in the soap a little sometimes, and the flashes of pre-Code realness and Clara Bow's smaller part are charming, but it's the action scenes that make this. How the hell did they do THAT almost 100 years ago? In part: at least one crash was real, people were injured and and someone did die, and, in part, this was the type of production where, ten years after WWI, they strapped cameras onto planes in fields and made actors act while piloting them through the sky.

It (1927, 72min) (Archive.org, Wikimedia)

It felt sacrilegious to watch Clara Bow in a drama and not see one of her starring role comedies. "It" was her first big break. A fun romcom that feels like a screwball predecessor, where a charmingly scrappy villianness is now in the failhusband role. A shop girl wins her rich sweetheart, and the fashion is fascinating and wonderful. It was let down a little because I couldn't find a good print. But (spoilers) Clara Bow's rescue technique holding her co-actor's chin above the water - I adore.

Sherlock Jr. (1924, 45min) (Kanopy)

A quick step back in time in preparation for the next film. And unfortunately, for me, this one didn't hold up as well watched alongside its peers. A projectionist walks into a film while dreaming about being the man who could win his sweetheart. Cinematically this is without peer. The set pieces are phenomenal. The competence and the 'how the fuck did they do that' is incredibly enjoyable. And he is spectacularly hot (the pool playing scene??? i did not know that about myself, how is he so hot? This was the baby to baby moment for me.)

But, while I understand the everyday opening is necessary to sell the step into the film and then the zoom in to the film world, over the past few weeks I've seen this story told many times before and better - the poor worker, the shop window, the sweetheart, the bumbling - and I know Buster can create much more nuance than this opening everyman. Keaton fractured his neck here in one of the stunts, which possibly affected this performance, but, it's funny to say, Sherlock Jr's tale appears regressive for the time, receiving no favours in following the more modern Clara Bow.

Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928, 70min) (Kanopy)

A queer young man gets messed up in trying to save his father's failing steamboat business, and I had a great time, giggling throughout. A spectacular spectacle with the character capturing my heart. Every bit hit. All those letterboxd reviews saying this was unfunny/boring before the final set piece, fight me. I deeply disagree. Some of the jokes are definitely assisted by knowing Buster Keaton and his work, which the audience at the time would have. This was made 11 years into Keaton's film career, when the equivalent of 50% of the US attended the theatres every week. Is my Downloads folder full of screenshots of Buster Keaton in his pattern clashing outfit? … maybe. And the gag about how he must be all grown up by now 👌

The last in what became an accidental series about men struggling with their work or lack thereof, their dearth of money, and their place in society. The next (and final) two were more experimental pieces, made right on the cusp of the transition to sound.

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928, 82/110min) (Vimeo, Archive.org, Wiki)

Now. This was an experience. A film of faces and concrete walls. A meditative historical religious drama about the trial of Joan of Arc and her final weeks's of life. Finding a good online copy of The Passion was complicated, and so it became a great example of just how much sound impacts a silent film experience. A lot of drama is added to the film by the currently common Voices of Light soundtrack, which I don’t think is necessarily there in the film (but many others obviously do).

Beautifully shot. The textures in the print we have are stunning. Obviously a classic for a reason, and I love Jane Schoenbrun's (director of I Saw the TV Glow) take on cinema and its expressive mysterious portraiture, watching someone watching as exemplified by The Passion. But, again, except on a technical level, I’m not sure how much more it’s doing than other melodramas of the time.

It’s possible a lot of these silent films that try to say something rather than show something are less enjoyable now, 100 years later in time, to me as films. Seeing how the world and ideals of a period play out on screen is fascinating, and it can be insightful, but these more explicitly philosophical and moral films - being told how to be and what to do and think - brought out my argumentative and disagreeing side. There’s a cruelty here in the filmmaking and storytelling that I disagree with.

Man with a Movie Camera (1929, 68min) (Wikimedia, Kanopy)

A cross between those long-exposure city photos that develop with no one in them, and Gleaners and I. It opens with an intertitle announcing "This experimental work aims at creating a truly international absolute language of cinema[...]". An obvious early-Soviet propaganda film. Cameras, camerapeople, trains, trams, historical people being cute, propaganda for modernity, a dead body, a live birth, flashing images, sports, propaganda for Soviet ideological superiority, the fingers of a highly skilled person. Fascinating and stimulating to the point of overstimulation, when adding in the addition of the Alloy Orchestra soundtrack.

Final Thoughts

Watching silent films is often an experience of balancing the conventional ideas of the time and their necessary performance of certain behaviour with just how modern these are and just how nuanced and complex and beautifully alive people always are. How, while women characters were often confined to negative or limited roles, they were also often fully, vivaciously portrayed. How race, in the films I watched and the ones still available as part of the canon, is often barely present and often deeply negative.

I often find myself yelling at the actors to get down from there you idiots. How did you survive? (Oh, just through losing a couple of fingers or fracturing a neck.) I believed the action on screen. There was so much grappling with modernity, work and money, being in society and social roles. Multiple kidnappings between cars and jumping between cars, poverty and shop windows, kitchens, sweethearts, giving away babies, trams, women stabbing male partners, car thieves, dusty dirt roads, courtrooms, the city, and beautiful backgrounds. Trams! So many trams! These films were so resonant despite the time that has passed and changing peculiarities. It's a good reminder in the shaping of how we are now, how far we haven't come, and the amazing fun, nuanced, successful creations of humans from the past.

If you've read this far, please feel free to follow me on letterboxd if you like (but please don’t notice just how far back I actually watched these films). You might see that I'd already watched a bunch of early cinema shorts and Keaton and Chaplin shorts, also Nosferatu, Metropolis, For the Term of His Natural Life and The Dragon Painter. I haven’t really used letterboxd as social media, but this list is here, and I will continually update it as I go along. Please reblog this if you want. It was a nice exercise in figuring out just how long it takes me to write something. Maybe I'll write up some more films, maybe I won't. All screenshots and mistakes mine. And the in-text links are well worth your time if you’re interested in any of this.

What's the origin of your blog title?

it's from these lyrics, who own my entire heart and soul. "At first, I thought you were a constellation, I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation. You're as beautiful as endless. You're the universe I'm helpless in."

OTP(s) + Shipname:

ah, there's erik/charles (cherik), steve/bucky (stucky), elio/oliver (no idea), erika/charlotte (cherika), peter/kurt (nightsilver), logan/storm (no idea - stormverine?), achilles/patroclus (patrocilles), and probably more that I'm forgetting.

Favourite colour:

purple, pink, black; love me some pastels, too.

Favourite game:

probably stardew valley because I've spent the most time playing it. also love minecraft and animal crossing a lot, and @star-lights-up, you are so valid for saying that minecraft creative mode is peaceful - minecraft even in easy makes me stressed.

Song stuck in your head:

"How Dare You Want More" by the Bleachers. such a good, good song.

Weirdest habit/trait?

lol, dunno if this is a habit/trait or even weird; but I dissociate A Lot. probably a coping mechanism from my childhood and/or a way to avoid the stressors of the world. I also listen to a new song on repeat for hours/days until I'm tired of it. my brain has to absorb everything about it.

Hobbies:

writing, playing with photoshop, crocheting/knitting, playing video games, listening to music.

If you work, what's your profession?

my official title is "detection and investigation analyst lead" - I basically work in the area of fraud. formally, my professional title is psychological scientist.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Realistically?

realistically, I'd like to be a professor; but the job market is so over-saturated, pay could be shit depending on what university, and I would have had to do post-doctoral work, which would have probably killed me mentally and emotionally.

Something you're good at:

my job at work, my area of expertise as a psychological scientist, and probably writing and crocheting, though I could improve with both of those for sure.

Something you're bad at:

writing in present-tense, oh my god.

Something you love:

erik lehnsherr - think about that man way, way too much.

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff:

x-men universe, marvel universe, psychological sciences/research, this one mathematical hypothesis, the books I love - basically all of my hyperfixations.

Something you hate:

the way the world is currently and the way people have zero (0) empathy anymore.

Something you collect:

I collect shot glasses from various places I've been (can't stand shots though). I also collect lego sets and magneto things courtesy of my partner buying me them all the time. he supports my hyperfixations.

Something you forget:

all the amazing plots that come to my mind that I forget to write down. but more generally, I forget a lot of things - pisses many people off around me, but I can't help it. I don't have good memory.

What's your love language?

I'm chewing over the fact I'm probably a little asexual, so my love language when I actually have it is little, subtle touches, just letting my partner know I'm there. I also love buying little things

Favourite movie/show:

Films: X-Men franchise; Captain America trilogy only; Saw series; Resident Evil series; Cry-Baby; The Fifth Element; Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy only; and many other more. TV Shows: Love, Death, and Robots; House, MD; Breaking Bad; Supernatural; The Agency; Danny Phantom

Favourite food:

I'm vegan, but I still find ways to eat some of my favorites - pizza, pasta, tacos, salads (god, I love salad), and pierogies.

Favourite animal:

cats! and snakes are pretty cool.

What were you like as a child?

I was an undiagnosed audhd kid (heavy on the autism, as it turns out), so I didn't know I was different than everyone else; so everyone kind of just existed around me as I acted "normally" for myself but was very not normal for everyone else. still coming to terms with that and morning my childhood a bit because I really thought I fit in - but I didn't, lol - and that's okay.

Favourite subject at school?

math - I have a degree in it. also, social sciences like psychology - I also have a degree in it. if you put them both together, I have a doctorate in them. a nerd through and through.

Least favourite subject:

as funny as it sounds, I couldn't stand english simply because I hated writing essays. and in-class essays - get outta here with that.

What's your best character trait?

I have a very, very hard time self-reflecting and figuring out my traits, personality, etc.; so I don't really know. I do know that I'm very, very empathetic and compassionate - I worry about others and their circumstances well before I worry about myself - so possibly that.

What's your worst character trait?

dunno if this a character trait, but I have massive issues with executive functioning to the point where I can't get a lot done in the day. so that's something I cannot stand because I wanna be the person who does things, but my mind just doesn't let me.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

I need to get into a higher tax bracket and move to europe, lol

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

I would love to talk to Edgar Allan Poe - his writing is just incredible to me, and I want to know how he created all his short stories and poems because they are so creative and spine-chilling. I also want to meet Beethoven because he likely had a modern-day diagnosis of something and he was also not white, as we know now; so I'd love to just sit with him and go through his hearing-loss and partner-loss and how he wrote such incredible music despite his psychological issues.

loved doing this - thank you for the tag. tagging some mutuals who weren't tagged by @star-lights-up, and as always, no pressure to do the tag: @neonwizardheehee, @lennakasra, @ghostboy512, @lightasthesun, @lenichque, @fullcatkryptonite, @eriknocherikyes, @mister-peregrine, @artificiallita, @dick-helmet-magneto, and any other moots who wanna do the tag.

hi :3 could i request agere nat head canons ?:) (from yellowjackets)

★ hii <33 thank you so so much for your request!!! i automatically did age regressor teen Nat but if you wanted cg or adult nat then send in another request!! it makes me so so happy whenever i see new requests :D

Little!Nat Headcanons

- I think she mostly regresses to an older kiddo (6-10) but sometimes she can get really small if she’s had a hard day (2-3)

- pre-crash normally is looked after by Lottie (who absolutely adores little nat) but i feel like Travis would also know once they’re in the wilderness, he takes care of her more there.

- little nat is always following around her cg, she would never admit it but shes scared that they’ll disappear so always need to be in her eyesight.

- When shes small she goes by ‘Nat’, but loves more gender neutral nicknames like, ‘Kid’, ‘Silly baby’, ‘rugrat’, and her main one is ‘bug’.

- Once she’s big again she’ll never let anyone call her one of those names, pretending to hate them.

- Is an active kiddo, loves to go on walks and still loves playing soccer when shes small.

- She is definitely a sore loser when little, so Lottie will play ‘soccer’ with her but really they’re just kicking the ball back and forth or into a net and nat always ‘wins’.

- Her go-to outfits when small are denim shorts, and a graphic t-shirt, normally with some sort of animal or superhero logo. basically anything she can play/get messy in.

- She is so so clumsy, always climbing or tripping over. But one of her caregivers always has plasters on them so shes always covered head to toe in funky pattered ones.

- Is the most inpatient little ever, cannot sit still long enough to watch a film or show unless its one of her favourites, and even then she’s colouring or doing something else during it.

- Post-Crash Travis takes her on walks down to the lake when they have to collect water so she can splash around and play for a little while.

- She also collects pretty rocks and leaves to ‘decorate’ the cabin’s porch and window sills.

- Is a biter

- Has a paci for when she’s at her youngest, but refuses it when she’s older so has to wear chewlery bought by Lottie (which definitely gets used).

- Lottie normally buys her anything she may need and doesn’t mind when Nat doesn’t like it.

- Jokingly bought her a book about bugs and animals which she thought Nat wouldn’t bother with but its one of the only things Little Nat with sit and read - and then tells whoever will listen the most random facts.

- Will only go to sleep once someone’s tucked her in, else she is stood in a doorway with her blanket around her shoulders pouting ready to scare whichever caregiver she’s with.

pairing- colby brock x fem!reader

summary- y/n & kat are taking time to relax at the beach, as the boys make a video, your boyfriend!colby can’t keep his eyes/interest off of you, especially his hands;)

word count- 1k ish? 

a/n- nothing against sams new girlie, I’m soo happy for him, just love katrina & her aura<3

also, kinda hate my writing in this but tysm for 260 notes on my first imagine ‘His Little Stripper<3’, i started writing this imagine when it had 90 so im just very surprised at the attention but so so grateful at the same time🥹

o==[]::::::::::::::::>

Glistening waves sounded softly against the sanded shore, making our surroundings complete bliss. The sun gently beamed down, making the entire beach a gorgeous, shining coast. A light blue colour painted the sky with a hint of orange, gracefully illustrated, hints of purple shining through as the sun slowly started to set. Subtly hinting the time of day, or should I say evening, almost.

The boys, you and Kat, had been here almost all day, gaining a bronzing tan while the guys worked on a video. As we lapped up the rays from the gleaming ball of fire, we faintly heard the pair making their way back to our spot. Peering over, you had slightly pulled the tinted Ray-Ban’s down to the centre of your nose, hoping to get a better look.

“Holy shit.” You mumbled, finding it hard to look at anything but your boyfriend’s incredible physique. He laughed at something Sam had said as they approached us, his body gleaming from the heat. Colby had picked up a tan and man, he looked so good. His pearly white smile giving you slight butterflies, his hair was slightly wet still from when he took a dip earlier, almost curling from the salted sea.

You laid back down, quick to get into ‘position’, as if you never saw them coming.

Kat chuckled, your face heating up as you hadn’t realised you said it loud enough for her to hear. She sat up, awaiting her boyfriend who gave her a loving smile.

As Colby finished up his conversation with Sam, he noticed just how radiant you looked. Lying there on an off-white towel. Your body almost bare, in your little baby blue bikini, so innocently with your boobs almost spilling out, leaving him gawking. Also his favourite colour on you, making your skin glow more than ever. Your bikini bottoms hugging your body so perfectly, cupping your ass in a way that made him want you all to himself. Tiny beads of sweat on your torso making your body shine in a delicate, glowing way. He had thoughts of other people getting a glimpse of your body that belonged to him, only wanting you for himself, making him feel frustrated at his silly, possessive little conscience.

He gulped a little, getting lost in his imagination with the thought of you with next to nothing on. He cleared his throat and proceeded, shaking his head almost to clear his thoughts.

“Hey ladies, caught the sun a bit, huh?” Colby smugly mentioned, looking you up and down, eyes lingering on your chest. He tore his eyes away from you to catch the bottle of water Kat had chucked him from the little freezer we’d brang. He ripped it open and chugged it, as you peered up at him. You only noticed his presence towering over you when the sun was blocked, making the area before you ever so dark in your sunglasses. He poured the bottle over his already sweat-clad body, spraying you slightly.

The cold pricks of water felt good, droplets scattering your body, making you take in a sharp breath after sweltering all day, but the sight of him getting wet infront of you was more than making you feel a little lustful. His hair stuck to the side of his face, almost connecting to his sleek jaw, faint love bites still painted his neck which hadn’t quite left his skin yet from your time together a couple nights ago. The way his chiseled body gleamed in the orange setting with the water reflecting made him look angelic in this moment, his confident aura beamed, making you want him bad. So, so bad.

“Wanna take a dip, sweetheart?” Your breath hitched in your throat, snapping out of your dirty little imagination. Promptly nodding your head, struggling to get the words out, you took his large hand, almost falling into his body. Both of your bodies crashing into one another, softly, making your heart flutter a little. With quick thinking, he’d caught you with his free hand, firmly planted on your waist, he chuckled slightly, teasing you, “Steady there baby, you really wanna fall for me again?”

You steady yourself with your hand pressed against his chest, him feeling tense already from your fall. You laughed softly, giving him a smile. Loving the way his voice was a little husky, possibly from being parched most of the day. You reach up to his ear, standing on your tip-toes, whispering, “I’d fall for you again, and again Cole, and you know it.”

With a brisk peck to the cheek, you began to jog towards the sea, giggling as your boyfriend stood there, taking in your words and your flirty little kiss. It didn’t take long for him to sprint after you, taking in your body. The way the waves crashed against your legs, the water spraying up your body, the colour of the sun set kissing your already tanned features.

You took your scrunchie out of your hair with one swift move, letting it gracefully wave past your shoulders, letting your body relax more. Colby worshipped you in this moment, the colours, the setting and the sound of the waves were completely blissful, but he couldn’t help just how good you looked.

As he approached you, he remembered how he had picked a hibiscus flower that reminded him of you, a little earlier on during the video they were shooting. Sam thought they looked pretty and Colby just knew how much you loved flowers, and because he thought they were pretty too. Its beauty was captivating, as was yours, he thought to himself. When Sam had walked onwards, he thoughtfully picked one, in hopes you would like the subtle gesture.

The boy pulled out the ruby painted flower, ever so carefully from his pocket, just before the water had reached his waist. Your back faced him but you could feel him near. Taking in the sunset, you closed your eyes, feeling the water swishing around you, subtle splashes from afar and near filled your ears blissfully.

Your breath hitched in your throat as Colby pressed himself against your behind. You mutter his name in a happy, sigh kind of way. As you turn your face slightly toward him, as if to lean your head back on his bare chest, he lightly brushes your hair over your ear gently, placing the pretty flower in your hair. A smile grows wide in your face, planting your hand on your chest close to your heart, feeling the sweetness of the gesture.

“Colby!” You say in complete awe, over the simple token. This time you do turn toward him, his blue eyes stare lovingly in to yours. He brushes your hair over your other ear, as if out of habit. The little splash sounded, as his hand broke the surface of the water, just to reach your hand to hold.

“You’re so gorgeous, Y/N.” The adoration radiates off of him, so much that you can’t help but wrap your arms around his neck and give him that kiss you’ve been dying to give him since he set off on that video with Sam. You melted into his lips, his hands making their way to your ass, cupping it firmly making you squeal. You squeal a little more as his lifts you, making you instinctively wrap your legs around him also.

Laughs and giggles escape the both of you as you have a small audience of two watching from afar. They wave as they catch up themselves, sharing a cuddle. Colby goes to wave too as he holds you with one arm, such a charmer. His laugh is music to your ears and vice versa, he’s quick to squeeze what’s his, as he continues to pepper your face in kisses, saying ‘I love you’s’ in between.

As you lap up all the affection, he begins to travel down your face, to your neck. Colby nips and sucks sweetly at the thin skin on your neck, littering you in kisses, and faint bruises. He loves marking you and that in itself is enough to turn you on. You love being his.

With a lot of restraint, you place a hand firmly on his chest. A little breathless, meeting his eyes. His eyes turn a little darker, hungry even. He wants you and you want him, “Save it for later, handsome. We have an audience.”

｡☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆｡

a/n, feel like I could’ve done way better with this, but I love having the thought of requests! I just started this like five months ago and have only just come back to it half done and with all the drama in the fandom I think I was just put off but it doesn’t mean I don’t wanna continue writing! I love a lot of characters and would love to write for anyone <3 (just give me a chance🥹)

[python-nebula]

This is the sappiest thing I’ve written about a tv show, but I wanted to ramble a bit about Doctor Who and all that it means to me.

I cannot articulate how immensely I adore this show. It’s been a part of my life for four years now (I started watching in 2020 lockdown, finished it all in 3(?) months) and I couldn’t be happier. I think I will always have it as a special interest, I don’t think that’s going away anytime soon. As a queer and autistic person, younger-me felt so seen when he clicked play on ‘Rose’, and I still have, all the way up until the credits rolled on ‘Empire of Death’. I’m a film student now and so I can properly appreciate the beautiful colours and stunning wide shots and gorgeous shot compositions. But I’m also older now, so I can properly appreciate the messages behind the episodes.

My brain absolutely latched onto this weird sci-fi show. I adore the horror episodes while my family members watch through their fingers (Midnight, Blink, Wild Blue Yonder). I adore the silly, fun episodes that give me a break from my life (Rogue, Partners in Crime, The Power of Three). I adore the episodes that make me really Think (Boom, Oxygen, Dalek). I adore the episodes that make me cling to a stuffed animal and cry (Vincent and The Doctor).

Even just writing about this weird sci-fi show, with its sometimes-god-awful special effects, and it’s incredible music, and it’s protagonist who I can actually see myself in, makes me want to cry. I will never be able to explain to full extent of this show’s effect on me. It has made me say ‘woah how did they do that effect??’, ‘oh my god I hate Chris Chibnall!!’, ‘oh we get to see that character again!?’, and the first one:

‘ugh, I don’t want to watch that show, it looks weird.’

‘I promise you’ll like it, [name]! If you don’t, we can watch something else’.

‘okay fine.’

And she was right. It’s safe to say that I did like it. Maybe just a little bit. I don’t know.

(god this is SO sappy haha)

[dacreshoney]

English is my second language, please don't hate my terrible writing... I just write it as it comes to my head:)

Been dreaming a while about this storyline and I just wanted to write it down as something for me to smile about. Please excuse how bad it is :))

ACTRESS X AUSTIN BUTLER STORY

Background: You were a world famous young actress who had been in major hit tv shows and films. You started out as a child actress in Harry Potter where you had a young romance with actor Tom Felton at the time. Also having dated One direction star Harry styles in your teenage years, having a fling with your co star Henry cavil in the TV series the tudors, Mamma Mia, Burlesque and Other shows such as The Witcher, stranger things (where you had previously just split before filming top gun with Dacre Montgomery, after your 3 year relationship Dacre decided he wanted to focus on himself and you both felt you were better as friends) he neglected your relationship and didn't put you first. This was where you had a fling after with co star glen Powell, but both decided you were better as friends. You were at the peak of your career, everyone wanted you, everyone wanted to be you and around you. With such a busy schedule ahead of you, with so many things lined up. You'd just finished filming top gun maverick and had daisy jones and the six to finish filming. The premiere in Cannes for top gun came with so many new exciting opportunities for you, with a certain Mr Butler having a say in who would be his Priscilla Presley in the new Film Elvis.

Your POV:

It was the night of the Top gun Premiere in Cannes, you were getting ready with your team in the hotel you were staying at, the gorgeous Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic.This wasn't your first time in Cannes, you had been here for a few film premiers before, but you could still never get used to it, even after all your success, at such a young age bearing in mind. Being surrounded by all the stars you had looked up to for years and working with them, like Tom cruise, cmon.. such a pinch me moment. It's such a surreal moment sat there on the makeup chair looking out onto the French rivera, having your makeup done, having all these people around you tailoring your new designer dress that had just been made and flown in by Ellie Saab. A gorgeous Pearl flowing dress with a subtle smokey eye makeup to bring out the colour of your eyes with Hollywood curls in your hair, slightly tucked behind your ears.

(your gown for Cannes)

Your agent Natalie came in to round you and your co stars up, you were staying in the next room to your co star and recent fling Glenn Powell since your split with Dacre. The two of you had one crazy and weird night, you and glenn had become close during filming and one cast night out got way out of hand and ended up with you two sleeping together, for you both in the morning to just laugh about it and to this day are the best of friends. You clutched onto your dress following your agent out and headed towards the film festival.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These events were always nerve wracking, in your head you just tried your best not to fall over, your agent edging you along the red carpet with your co stars, lining you up infant of the paparazzi ready to take single and cast photos. Tonight was a big night for you, you were going to perform the hit song from the movie tonight, Hold my hand, not only and actress anymore, you started divulging into more musical things now with your career which essential you trained in all three, singing, acting and dancing. A triple threat some will say. Before the event your agent started guiding you to some interviewers before the main event of the premiere and performance. You smiled widely as you greeted the interviewers, they asked the general questions of the movie and the cast you were working with, these questions always ended up with the odd personal question thrown in there also.

"so Y/N, we know you have to hurry along but the news of you and dacre, obviously very sad but do you think he will be happy for you tonight and what are you plans going forward from this, is there anyone tonight you are hoping to meet and network with?"

"umm" you began, giggling slightly to make it less awkward, "you know life happens, me and dacre are still very much friends, id know he'd definitely be supporting me and vice versa on his journey. some things aren't meant to be but that's okay, we are all adults here and you know I'm excited for what's next for me, I've got a lot coming my way and you never know, something may come out of tonight. I just want to enjoy tonight, meet some new people and yeah I hear the royal family are here tonight so that will be a cool thing, like I've never met a royal so.."

"thank you for that, really appreciate your time and massive congratulations and good look with your performance tonight, we look forward to it" the interviewer smiled.

"Thank you so much, I will need it aha" you say being guided away into the film hall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The performance came and went, you had a standing ovation from the crowd, this was a massive thing for you. All these people in the crowd were actors and actresses you looked up to and for them to be giving you a standing ovation was something else. You had had your congratulations from your co stars and a few famous faces, it was later after your performance that you were being guided to your table where a tall figure was standing, a male it looked like from where you were walking, blonde hair shining in the lights above him. You stopped as Natalie found your seat and this male figure stumbled back a little onto your toe, you had kind of numbed out the pain as you'd been in heels all day, his hands were cupped as if he had just been clapping or praying, he stood in awe of you as you approached. A small smile came from the corner of his mouth as he met your gaze.

"my god I'm so sorry, I didn't step on you did I?"

You looked at him smiling, you could tell he was a little shy, he had confidence in his eyes but a shy soul underneath.

"Its ok honestly, I was looking for an excuse to take these heels off really, so thanks for that" you winked, the blonde smiled back at you, his eyes tracing your face so intently.

" glad I could be of service, please here let me get your seat, I am really sorry though" he laughed as he pulled out your seat

"such a gentlemen".. you said as you slowly sat down on the pulled out chair, still keeping his gaze, " but seriously its fine, don't stress, I can see you wincing a little" you joked with him, trying to ease his shyness, you recognised his face, this was Austin butler, you'd watched a few shows with him in when you were younger, carried diaries and rumours had it it was going to be the new Elvis.

"that transparent am I"

"just a little" you winked as you gestured with your hands the little minute sign with your fingers, he then sat down to face you on the opposite chair.

"Austin right? you questioned "I'm..." you were interrupted

"Y/N, yeah I know", he laughed nervously "you were phenomenal up there you know and your movie, I mean you were incredible"

"thank you, that means so much to me like you wouldn't believe, I was shaking up there" you held out your hands to show him your shaking fingers, the adrenaline from the performance still.

"I'm surprised you even knew my name just then to be honest" sounding surprised

"of course, you are the new Elvis right? that's very exciting" you said placing your hand to tap his knee "and I've seen your face around, just never actually got round to saying hi"

smiling at your hand placement he responded "Yeah I am ah, very exciting, just hope to do him some justice you know"

"oh love I'm sure you will, you are great you know or just do a me and just pretend you know what you are doing and everyone will just think that guys got their shit together" you laughed, trying to give him a little confidence boost. shrugging his shoulder with yours.

"thank you y/n , I think I might just have to do that aha"

"I'm sure you will smash it" your agent gesturing that it was time for you to leave, "well looks like I'm being ushered out of here Mr Butler, but it was so nice meeting you and I absolutely can't wait for this to be the other way round and I'm congratulating you as I am sure I will be"

Austin's POV:

Y/N performance blew him away, he had always been a huge fan of yours and he'd come across you at so many events but had never had the guts to say anything to you, You was in a relationship with Dacre as well at all these events, so he never had the chance and now that you were single he'd found the perfect opportunity. Later that night after meeting you, you were all that was on Austins mind, he had phoned his agent later that night as he knew you'd have to be his Priscilla in Elvis, so many actresses had come and gone but no one he could get that chemistry with. He had to find a way to reach you.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You'd first met Austin during Cannes in 2022 when you had been a part of the Top gun maverick cast, you were half way filming Daisy ones and the six at this point. You had your first day off in a long Time, you just sat down when you opened your phone to 4 missed calls from your agent and a text to call her asap.

"Nat, 4 missed calls, who died?"

"I thought you did with the amount of times I've rang you, I've just had a strange call from another agent and they said an Austin Butler and Baz luhrmann has been trying to reach you?"

"Baz Lurhmann?? and Austin Butler as in the new Elvis Austin..??"

"yeah, so they want you to be the new Priscilla, apparently this Austin guy told Baz and he wants to start shooting with you straight away"

"no on screen chemistry read or audition?"

"nope none at all, this Austin guy really wants you to play her so, guess that's that"

Baz frisking lurhmann wants you to be in his new film, ELVIS. Austin butler requested you to be Priscilla, why?? .... you were so confused but so excited about it, your schedule was about to get a whole lot busier and your life so much more exciting.

3 7 and 15!! :DD i love question #3 bc it always tickles me to know what people hate, petty style

3. Is there a trope you wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole?

this is such an interesting question sfgjk because i actually read like. a lot of stuff 😭 and i guess i wouldn't necessarily say that i hate it but i do instantly switch off when like. piss kinks r involved i really don't get it i get the control element but 👋(>_<)

although i think i hate homophobic house i'll be so fr he would Not say that. i don't care i just don't see him digging up deadnames to dig at people with absolutely no other prongs to the attack ??? like there has to be some kind of reason with it idk + when people remove that in favour of "oh he's just being his regular brand of asshole" i rly don't like it

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

i can't believe you've made me do this 😭 but ok this snippet from this thing is supposed to be give-and-take:

"You would have come at any time, even if it was worse, even though it upsets you, because you like me." House knew it upset him? He still called? Wilson held every muscle in place. Stayed silent, held the eye contact. Held House's arm that he'd finished bandaging already but didn't want to let go of. Waited for the inevitable joke. House's eyes widened, shone with a new light. "You like me!" For one aching, fleeting second, Wilson thought House was about to kiss him, but Wilson jerked back, letting go. He ignored every instinct in his mind telling him to move in closer. He was intimately aware of the heat of House's thigh against his, the ghost of House's arm on his hand, the memory of House's head on his shoulder. "House. Shut up." House was high. He was drunk, he was exhausted and in pain. He didn't know what he was doing. They couldn't do this.

because there's just SO MUCH FUCKING TENSION!!! wilson in this fic has been pushing back his own memories to compartmentalise and take care of house - and his first reaction to "you like me" is skipping that bit and going Back to feeling like house called him because he doesn't care about wilson's emotions. the reality is ... complicated. the reality is house trusts wilson intimately, trusts him to do what needs to be done, and house doesn't know the extent of wilson's trauma. "even though it upsets you" isn't supposed to mean "i purposefully called you to trigger you", it's supposed to mean "im sorry i hurt myself because i know it freaks you out"

and then wilson realises that house is serious about the confession (!!!) but he can't Deal with That. he wants it he wants it so bad, i think house is realising his crush for the first time but wilson has been repressing his feelings for months if not longer. so he tries to convince himself its not real and runs away <3 made even more poignant by wilson having previously made the observation that house was 1. coming down from being high, 2. not that drunk, 3. probably has had a nap and 4. not in any more pain than he's used to. he's thinking clearly for once, and wilson can't.

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

ough this is hard because 2 out of the 4 fics im thinking of (my 3 posted ones + kutner lives) are fix-it? i'd absolutely love to see the kutnerfic filmed though i think you could do so much with the opening sequence in that way that the show makes certain scenes have that air of delirium and panic. you could do so much with colour and lighting and sound and aughhh plus we could see more kutner!!! yay!!! also hilson are married in there. so that's always a bonus <3

[1anxiousbeancrying]

I may get hate for this but this is my opinions on characters in the spider verse movies. And feel free to disagree with me. I will only be talking about the movies portrayal of characters not the comics so I may like a character more in the comics but not in the movie. And another thing I'll take into consideration is plot importance. These are just my thoughts on the characters in general like morally, personality, and how they make me feel

Miles Morales: main character so he immediately gets some points, his story in the first movie was amazing, and it kinda leaks into the second film with him trying to find his place as Spiderman and he has had some of the best moments in the franchise. It makes me so excited for them to rap up his story in the next one. 10/10

Gwen Stacy: her story has been one of the best parts of these movies as it perfectly shows why she does and act the ways she does in the movies from the loss of her best friend and that fear holding her back till miles appears and her conflict with her dad fueling her to stay with the spider society and her later facing her problems instead of running away from them makes her and amazing character, also her fight with the vulture was one of my favorite parts of the movie. 10/10

Peter B Parker: he was good in the first film with it shows his problems in his own world and Miles helping him overcome some fears like having children and in the second him having mayday showing he got his life together, but he loses major points for the second film. He did nothing important only hurting miles and I understand her joins Gwen at the end to help him but hes constantly bringing his child to battles and did nothing when Gwen was being sent home to a place where she had no safe place to stay and where her dad had tried to shoot her. Like my guy you are an adult Atleast try and say something.4/10

Peni Parker: absolutely adorable in the first film and very helpful in making and new goober her and spider are so interesting and her dynamics with porker and noir is so cool, it made me so sad when her Fathers mech died. While she didn't do anything important in the second film the movie did a great job of showing she had changed, I can wait to see more of her in the next film. 7/10

Spider noir: I definitely think he's over rated but I can see why. his design slaps and he was quite funny in the first film, they did a great job in showing someone from a black and white world trying to adjust to a world of colours, he was a good character with some great lines despite not doing anything of much importance to the story, him throwing a car at tombstone was badass though and his relationship with peni was cute. Maybe my opinion will change on him in the next movie though. 6/10

Spider ham: I don't really feel anything towards him he had some good lines and his fight with scorpion was great but other than that he didn't really do anything, hopefully this will change in the next film. 5/10

Miguel O'Hara: here's where people may disagree with me. I like the concept for his powers and I think he's a great antagonists to Gwen and miles but other than that I don't care about him as a character. Im interesting to see what happens with him in the next film but I ain't to fond of his design, and his cannon even theory is fucking shifty, like bro the reason the world collapsed was because you replaced a dead person not because you stopped one event. Also he should not be treating children the way he does in the film , like dude you were a father wtf. And the hype around the character also puts me off him as well. 3/10

Jessica drew: I actually really like Jess, while she didn't do to much in the film, it was still enough to get me interested in her character from her first interaction with Gwen showing concern for her and later becoming her mentor. When Gwen gets sent home it shows her slowly swaying away from Miguel , the film actually shows a conflict within this character which a lot of characters seemingly don't get, and makes me wanna see how she's handled next film. 7/10

Hobie brown: I like Hobie he's just over rated as fuck. He makes the new watches for Gwen and the gang and also helps miles get free but other than that, he hasn't got much of an individual story in the movie yet, he just felt like a side character, which technically he is but most of the other spiders don't have the problem for me. I think I heard where seeing more of his world in the next film so hopefully it gives us more insight to his character, but I also feel like once again it's the fan girls which are ruining the character for me. 5/10

Pavitr Prabhakar: I loved him his introduction was incredible and and entire section of the movie in mumbattan was incredible, with the black hole forming in his world, it provides his character with a secondary story behind the main movie one. Him joining the gang at the end of the film even with his world collapsing shows how good of a friend he is, miles helped him so now he's gonna help miles, while he didn't do to much in the movie they did a great job of setting up his character for the next one. 7/10

Margo kess: I absolutely love her design and she wasn't in the film enough, the only thing she really did in the movie was let miles go but it had a big impact, I can't wait to see her on the team in the next film. I'm also sick of people putting her and Gwen against each other the besties deal with it. Her score would be higher I just haven't seen enough of her character yet. 6/10

Miles g morales: badass entrence and it was a really cool ending to the film, thought were don't know anything about him yet as a character so I can't really rate him yet. 4/10

Spider cat: 10/10 no questions asked.

I don't know why I made this

Why Romeo + Juliet 1996 lowkey implied that gay people (Tybalt) exist

A unorganized essay by Roxx

I firmly believe there is no way Tybalt, Capulet's nephew and Juliet’s cousin, was heterosexual in any way, shape, or form. He is, at least to me, extremely queer coded, whether it was intentional or not. The way Tybalt interacts with the cast screams Internalized Homophobia, from his aggressive and somewhat jealous nature towards Romeo to the banter he and Mercutio shared during their fight, he is just a very queer character and the gays love a enemies to lovers story (I’m the gays)

We don’t see Tybalt interact with Juliet, but I personally would guess they are close, at least as close as cousins are, given they most likely lived a majority of their lives together. If you really look into Romeo’s attempt to calm Tybalt in the play (and most versions) it can read in a homoerotic nature

Tybalt:  “Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford, No better term: Thou art a Villain”

Romeo: Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting. Villain am I none. Therefore farewell. I see thou knowest me not.” Quote; Act 3 scene 1, they basically just broke up

 and the 1996 version of the film doesn’t help this notion of Tybalt having a raging homo crush on Romeo (haha mean girls reference) either, given how close they are standing next to each other and Romeo’s expression, in that film he looks absolutely heartbroken that Tybalt would resort to such violent action and refuses to strike him. that angers Tybalt and he beats Romeo up, talk about romance am I right? (That was sarcasm, don’t beat your partners it’s fucked up),  and before this, Tybalt looked at Romeo in a way that made him look almost obsessed with him. 

Mercutio and Tybalt are obviously interconnected, they’re not opposites though instead they’re two sides of the same coin, They could even be read as a metaphor for how the hyper-masculinization of Queer men of colour, especially black and dark skinned Queer men, can be harmful and imply the stereotype that men of colour are violent and “uncivilized.” 

So Tybalt’s aggressive nature could be read a reflection of his own internalized homophobia and self hatred that has been pushed onto him by society and probably even his own family, While Mercutio’s aggression could be read as a form of self perseverance to keep himself out of harm's way. They both know that if they are openly queer, they are inherently in danger just by existing.

Tybalt, within this context, hates Romeo because he’s in love with him and he can’t fathom the idea of being in love with a man and a Montague no less.

Also he literally calls Romeo “My man”, I know in various contexts that could mean a platonic bond but c’mon, that's pretty damn gay.

So you might be asking, “Why do you think Romeo and Juliet would be better if Romeo and Tybalt were in love instead? And why not Mercutio and Tybalt?” Firstly, no one would’ve died; The entire reason R & J is R & J is because Tybalt was there, what truly sets off the chain reaction of some of the most memorable parts of R & J is Tybalt. If he wasn’t in the room when Romeo and Juliet were talking, R & J wouldn’t exist, and if he was Romeo’s romantic interest instead no one would be dead, Secondly, JULIET IS TOO YOUNG, I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL, and Third, Romeo and Tybalt would have a more interesting dynamic; the idea of Tybalt having to learn how to be vulnerable with a romantic partner is pretty interesting, I don’t think Tybalt could really ever learn to be vulnerable with Mercutio given both of their short tempers (and Mercutio is lowkey a dick but he’s still cool either way) and lack of respect for the others house. Romeo, obviously, is a bleeding heart romantic who is very very dramatic, while Tybalt is a ruthless, blood-thirsty, and closed off jackass who has some form of daddy and/or mommy issues, and that sort of opposites attract dynamic is the most interesting part of the entire idea of Romeo & Tybalt being an item.

it's giving "She likes a boy, She likes a boy, She likes a boy, She likes a boy, and I'm not a boy, I'm not a boy, I'm not a boy, I'm not a boy"

My Story <3

Tw: suicide,Sh,self-hate

Hey yall so I never really talk about my personal life on here but i feel like I owe everyone an explanation.

Within the past two years I have recovered from SH, and an attempted suicide, it was half ass but it was still an attempt. I was playing fast and loose with my life because I thought there was nothing left of it. I hated myself and how I looked, How I always felt so depressed the way my relationships with friends and family always seemed to fall apart but most of all I hated myself.

Im not sure exactly when it happened but about one year ago I met someone. She had similar interests as me and understood me on a personal level and even though we had lived completely different experiences she was there for me. We started talking more and more and I found out she lived Hours away from me in a completely different country, but I accepted our distance and created our connection. She helped me see that my life was very much so worth living. This girl was harley @dwntwn-strnlo

About four months later the only friends I was talking with in person blew up on me with fake excuses about why we shouldnt be friends, one had stolen some of my clothes as well as some of my money. It hurt more not because they left me but because I trusted them and they betrayed me, They left me out to dry and I reconnected with an old friend from middle school, M.

M helped me to realize that my emotional connection to people isnt a downfall but my strong suit. My intense passion love and energy I give to the world only makes me more beautiful not more weak.

Then M introduced me to S. And S is the most kind and gentle and loving people ive ever met. She reflected me in every sense of my love for others. S helped me to realize that just because someone else doesnt agree doesnt mean I cant formulate and stand up for my own opinions.

The three of us became very close and talked nearly everyday. Im not sure exactly when or why, but one day I decided to pull out my phone and film one of our lunches. Me,M and S all really hit it off we loved being in front of the camera and it almost just felt like the camera wasnt even there.

So we kept filming and that night I went home to edit our very first video and I posted it on an old youtube channel. I touched it up and added pretty colours and tried to make it more asethetic and I stayed up all night working on that first video.

And it got 13 views. And a hate comment. And then youtube took it down. But we didnt care. We kept hussling and we never stopped filming and i havent lost passion in the past half year weve been filming, I even branched off to start my own youtube channel because I love it so much.

I know I dont share much with you all and you dont even know my name, but I felt that where I was today was something i needed to share. My group doesnt have very many subscribers and im okay with that as long as it means I get to keep doing something I love.

so unfortunately I have been putting a lot less time and a LOT less effort into my writing. Im in my senior year of highschool and its all or nothing. I really want to do youtube as a career but i understand the sucsess rate is low, I have a backup plan but ill never be as happy as I am when im in front of the camera filming one of our youtube videos.

So I wanted to apologize to those of you who have been waiting for me to post but its very unlikely that i will be posting many or frequent fics anymore im not saying Im stopping im just slowing down. Its been a rough couple of years but ive finally found something I can pour my heart into. I hope yall understand I love yall so much seriously youve given me so much support<3

Love,

matthewmurdockswife <3

[toomuchracket]

I think fiancé Matty is always playing with the ring any time you’re holding hands. Any time you ask him what colour nails you should get next, he’s always like “hmm this colour will look so cute with the ring”

One time he hears you jamming to all the single ladies (because why not) and he bursts into the room going “I DID put a ring on it”

He used to get really pouty in the beginning when you took the ring off to shower but now he’s realised that it’s an opportunity for him to get down on one knee, again and again, every day and put the ring on you while you stand there wrapped in a towel and rolling your eyes (and secretly fucking loving it)

every single one of these is gold iris i am sending you flowers and a forehead kiss <3 also the final section is very reminiscent of another ask in my inbox: no cause he would so make little comments like if they ever got engaged, any time after when she looked pretty he’d be like ‘your so beautiful, you wanna marry me’ little jokey comments like that

i think matty is obsessed with you having your nails done anyway like he genuinely takes an interest in what you get done to them ("it's so crazy because they're such a little thing but can say so much about you and your personality through their design"), and when he proposes and they're right above the ring telling people you're his??? he loves it. and while he's still very "they're your nails babe get what you want", matty loves when you ask him "but what do you think would help emphasise and show off the ring?". and yeah, every time he's holding your hand he's brushing his fingers over the ring sweetly, and sometimes he'll take your hand and kiss the ring and be like "swearing fealty to my queen!" and you just blush lol

the single ladies thing... maybe you're at a party and it plays and you're like BYE GOTTA HIT THE DANCEFLOOR and matty films you dancing with your friends and he's like "and i DID put a ring on it" and you come up and wave your hand in front of the camera highlighting the engagement ring (you are both very drunk) and you're like "yeah we're both cuffed lol :P"

and yeah, the first time matty sees you take the ring off pre-shower/bath he's like "whoa! wtf?!" and you're like "i'm going in the shower" and he's like "but why are you taking it off i hate seeing you without it :((" and your heart actually breaks like he's so cute and you cuddle him and say "i just don't want it to tarnish or get damaged or anything, that's all!" and you give it to him to take care of whenever you're not wearing it (which matty finds very endearing because you're like "it belongs to both of us anyway!"), and inevitably as soon as your hands are dry he's down on one knee holding it proposing again. and you'll roll your eyes but secretly find it adorable, and then one night after he does it you're like "you owe me about forty weddings at this point with the amount you've proposed and i've accepted lol" and matty completely earnestly goes "and i WOULD have forty weddings to you. it's nowhere near the amount i would need to have to accurately show how much i love you" 😢😢 <3

Your blog is really cool🌸

Your art is amazing ✨✨

I am glad that you drawing pocs' content💔🤧

Also i dnk if it ok but i want to share a story about those films.

When i was a child i thought that Beckett and Norrington were the same person. But when i had watched the third movie i was really confused, because there were two Norrington (on my mind) and i was like wtf x)

After a while I stopped question things there and was like "ok, fine", because i remembered dead men, sea goddess etc. But i still thought, that Beckett is cooler version of Norrington :D (the reason was wig and death scene) (Norrington and cooler Norrington (who is Beckett) meme)

(on my mind they were alternative demention's versions or something like that, i don't remember this clearly)

(After rewatching films in adult age i think Beckett is my favourite character and i am really glad to see you drawing him💜🤧)

Sorry for rant

(THERES FANART BTW BUT PROBS CUT OFF)

tysm for the validation mate i really needed that after my wacky week and OMG LET ME TELL U A STORY

back in my days, i sucked at recognising faces (and still do, i have no idea why), so i tended to remember people by first their hair colour, then their clothes. Unfortunately: British Guys.

to tell this tale, i first have to reveal my favourite character from POTC. contrary to popular belief, it's Norrington, the guy i have like 3 drawings of, and not Beckett, who i have an entire sketchbook dedicated to, who i draw on foggy windows and have entire albums full of reference pics, the guy whose actor i stalked across movies (he's a close second favourite and i'm thinking of giving mate a promotion).

anyways, the first movie i was like, "that british seems pretty niceoMG HE HAS A BOW TIE. i'm following him throughout the movie now. he's the one w the white wig and blue coat, right?"

second movie rolls around and "oh look :DDD the Nice British is back! he looks smaller? and strangely happy?"

"the main gang got themselves a scruffy new pirate friend!

good for them and scruffy new pirate friend :)"

beckett changing outfits every scene didn't help.

when i learnt they were actually two separate britishes, i hated beckett because i kept confusing him with norrington (surprisingly left Groves and Gillette alone).

then my obsession with the movies grew and i began to notice the differences between them. my theory concerning my lack of art of norrington is probably bc i liked him too much and didn't want to mess him up, so i turned to a look-alike alternative, but then the ">:3" grew on me.

and there's my 6 page villain origin story. sorry to anyone who decided to actually read that. if u guys have any similar experiences, or just want to talk, feel free to share :)
