You are such an incredible writer, but youāre also an amazing gif maker! So, whatās your favourite gif set that youāve made this year? Also, what is the fic that youāre most excited to write in the new year? Thanks for being such an incredible friend Kai š„°
(literally me seeing your ask and am i copying q's answer to her own ask? the answer is yaaaaaaaaas.)
i don't really see myself as an AMAZING gif maker and an INCREDIBLE writer so to hear all these compliments from you is just straight up melting my goddamn heart vis. *teary-eyed emoji cos im in pc*
so to ask your... well... ask, i haven't been kind of productive this year, both in writing and editing stuff so i can't say i have a wide selection to choose from, but here's my ultimate fav gifset. like fr.
which predictably is a gifset from your fic which i've gotten so much interaction on and just having you message me about this was just... it honestly made me cry so yeah...
the freaking 'i know you have a lot of fic planned this year' just cracked me tf up. like... you and q know i go all ramble kai on anything resembling my fic ideas so you know what i already have in store next year...
first off, i am sooo excited to finally enter the spuffy writing fandom so there's that. i already have like 20+ spuffy wips in my docs rn but the most excited i am for next year are these two, i think: (and i'll be letting y'all take a lil peek of them)
sun and moon
āWho are you?ā The Slayer demanded. Buffy could hear the restless fear simulating his heart and the cautious steps he took to back away from her. Smart Slayer. So he has honed his skills then? Knew she was different from the other vampires he dealt around the small town. Buffy grinned wickedly. Itāll be fun to dance with this one. āI kill your kind for sport, Slayer.ā She let her words stew in the air, watched him put the pieces togetherāinch by agonizing inch.
spuffy dark fic (warning has possible incest!)
Joyce's heart stopped completely. Because standing at the door, a boy, her son she hadn't seen in years stood before her. Joyce had wanted to believe he changedāhair longer and tied at the back of his neck, still dressed in his boarding school's uniform but a few sizes bigger than she had first seen himāit was his eyes that gave him away.Ā It was cold and unfeeling. He regarded her as if she wasn't his mother, as if she was nothing to him at all. "Joyce."Ā "Williamā" She watched his gaze snap over her shoulder and at once, the piercing cold melted into warm fondness as did the trembling tension in his body. "Hello, cutie." "Will!"Ā Buffy barrelled past her, leaping in his arms and she wasn't afraid, she trusted him to catch her. William staggered a few feet back from the impact, wrapping one arm across her waist and the other held her bottom to prevent her from falling. "You're here. You're really here."Ā William held Joyce's gaze, a muscle in his jaw twitching as if to dare her to scold himāto remove him once more out of his Buffy's life.Ā "Never gonna happen, love. I'll be here forever. I promise."Ā Buffy sighed happily, enjoying the feel of his warmth, his hands on her. Joyce sighed in resignation, turning away from the challenge in his eyes.Ā "It's cold outside. Come in." At this, William grinned. "Thanks, mum."
last but not least, how could i forget tvd?
take my breath rewrite (kolena + klena) i mean how can i ever resist kolena theyre like my main otp. i go batshit crazy for them.
Elena gravitates towards the lake, stares at her reflection in the water. Hates her face and her blood more than she realizes. She loved her face and her body once upon a time. Now, all it ever does is haunt her every step and shadow surrounded by men who knew every crevice of her body. They knew her better than she ever did. (It is the face that launched a thousand year curse, damning the girls that carried it. Reduced to nothing but objects in a manās eyes. Katherine was right. I am always right. She hears her taunting giggle and sees her twinās knowing smirk. I told you so. Nothing could ever bring more joy to her evil doppelganger than proving that she was right.)
kolena roommates au (this was actually inspired by a spuffy fic i read LOL)
"Okay, 20 questions." "Go." "Who's your favorite?" "Favorite who?" Kol groaned. "Favorite Mikaelson sibling," and looked at her bashfully, like he was expecting her toā¦ say his name? "Rebekah." He yelled out an indignant cry, "What a load of bollocks! You're telling me, after everything we've been through, I'm stillā" "You are a favorite," She cut him off.Ā "Really?" He gaped at her, astonished.Ā "My least favorite." She bit hard on her tongue, seeing the sheer disappointment and anguish encroaching on his face. And somehow, his voice had gotten louder, belting out at a higher register than Mariah Carey. "I rank lower than even bloody Niklaus?!"
i do hope to be as productive as i was in 2022 when it comes to publishing fics cause i'll really wither and die if i don't manage to publish these four.
special fic mentions:
the song of wandering aengus
banish air from air
only, helen (tentative title)
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
& special user mentions for just being there for me (listening, suggesting, reading) when i was going batshit crazy over my fic ideas. you're all wonderful ppl and i'm glad to have you in my life <3
@katherineholmes @qvnthesia @finnismyoriginalsin
thank you so much for this ask, vis <3 love ya 5ever

Semantic Error Interviews
I wasn't gonna watch Jaechan and Seoham's interviews because Seoham's literally in the military already and I can't afford to get invested in someone who's not even here. However... they're endearing in the few I'd seen or interview translations I'd read, so I gave in lol
Watched:
some random compilations
How Close Are You Two to Each Other? ģ¤ķ¬ģø ź²½ķ„: They answered questions about each other and the show
ģķØXģ¬ģ°¬ģ ėź³ MTķģ„: They play games and answer quizzes. It's fun
To Watch:
WATCHA Game Item Hidden in Box
Maybe some of the Making Of and Behind videos of the show
Watcha Party Live 1 (+ more in that channel)
Edits:
women of semantic error (cr: 4pawats on Twitter): please if there's a season 2, I need them to meet (and date)
a yuna edit (cd: thornfah on twitter): she's just soooo cool

i have so many thoughts about post-canon patpran and one of them is do the high school friends ever find out about the two of them and how do they react?
another high school reunion 10 years later, i'm assuming they're married by now and their parents have had to come around: do they arrive together with rings on their fingers? shocking their friends from the get go?
or do they arrive separately like last time, their friends joking about the enemy arriving? maybe the two of them share smiles, so patās old friends are like glad youāve grown up and put it behind you. maybe now that theyāre all mid-30s they talk about spouses and patās ring begs questions but he waves them off with āitās a ~secret~ā only to have his friends be flabbergasted when halfway through the night pran and pat are found laughing together, wearing matching rings?

My #1 post of 2022
The Cafe For All/Cafe of Diversity
When I think of pride flags and displays of (diverse) queerness in BLs, I think of Not Me and tangentially Badhaai Do because of their giant pride flag scenes which included protests, joy/euphoria, fighting for rights, celebration, and were just momentous occasions. I loved those scenes.
What I love about The Cafe for All is how it's not as euphoric nor rare, I love the cafe with its casual display of queerness and community, just a space for queer people to safely exist and be themselves. You can spend time with your friends there, you can invite people into your little world there, you can divulge your struggles to your mom there and you can spy on your friends/frenemies there. You can be assured that you are not alone there.

*FOR ALL MANKIND SPOILERS*
I thought Larry was gonna do something right for once BUT HE COULDNT DO IT. Then Ellen stepped in and was like āILL SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE LARā. Iām so happy for her, I mean I know sheās gonna be going through a lot of backlash but I hope the shitstorm ends with her and Pam OR ANYONE AT THIS POINT I JUST WANT ELLEN TO BE HAPPY ššš
ALSO THAT ENDING!!!! š« š« š«
Awww, I do actually give credit to Larry for deciding to do it in the first place, and if Ellen hadn't walked in like a badass, I think he'd have been able to stumble through it. So, I think I'm in a better place with him.
AND GOSH! I knew Ellen'd do it this season but it was still so cool to watch. At first I was just taking in that it was happening at all, and Margo and Pam's reactions, and how Will specifically was mentioned, and his reaction after. I warmed so much to the Helios + NASA crew around him in that moment. FAM's always been so good with those scenes, like mission control after a daring rescue, and it's kinda lovely that they treated this as a similar climactic emotional payoff.
On rewatch though... Well, y'all know how I feel about people being treated like they're liars and in the wrong for being closeted. I get that this is an extremely complex situation because she did lie in actually significant ways and did indeed do wrong with DADT and Will Tyler, but the other part of me was like, screw the armed forces and the American people, you were right to distrust them, they should be apologizing to you! And the situation with Pam is so much more complicated than just refusing to come out.
But I don't feel those objections toooo strongly, they were just kinda in the back of my head and I didn't want to put them in the tags of my gifset, lol. Ultimately I'm quite pleased.
And indeed, quite interested to see what happens now, considering she's still president. Executive order everything, President Waverly! And I mean, if the season doesn't end with her and Pam together now, I'm really gonna be crying foul. This is one of those times I really wish we didn't get side character love interests because I'd have loved to see more of what was happening around Pam, a whole group of queer friends, and what the reaction this would have been in those circles.
At the end of the ep, lol, I have to laugh. That kinda thing seems as silly as Kelly's pregnancy. Just like it really stretches our credulity to believe that grown adults didn't realize what could happen if they had sex and it wasn't already drilled in them not to and everyone else wouldn't have stopped them and NASA wouldn't have fitted them with fancy alt reality birth control, we're supposed to believe this country with no resources was able to get a whole alive astronaut to Mars, okay. Or maybe I'm just salty that Dani wasn't the first on Mars, haha. I guess I'll wait to see what happens now.

Saying 'I Love You' never felt so good
McDanno meta. Season 4 meta.
Okay, I'm here again because I couldn't put these thoughts in my previous meta!
You can find my previous meta here.
I need to scream about the foreshadow and subtext of the Beautiful first, real, I Love You in the show, episode 4x18.
Let's start
After choosing you
Okay, I said in my previous meta Danny chooses Steve and Grace instead Gaby.
But, before that happens, we had a conversation between Steve and Danny at the beginning of the season 4.
Remember when they were hostages of terrorist that belonged to a drugs cartel in the Palace? There was a wounded person and Steve was kneeling by his side, and Danny came and said he was about to say the three words to Gaby? Remember Steve's reaction to that?
I had to ask for help to my friend @mrsaquaman187 , I don't have the gifs but I do remember when Danny started saying it, Steve closed his eyes and scratched his left eyebrow.
This is sign of uncomfortable, and nervousness.
Why he reacted like that? Oh well, just because he knows Danny said 'I love you' to him in their first date, and then he began to date Gaby, so... That wasn't serious for sure, and he thinks he is gonna do the same to her. So... Steve gave an advice, he said Danny needed to know well if he was about to say those words, because is a big deal.
We know Danny didn't say it to Gaby, but to someone else...
Then we have Amber... But she is not the one
Okay, pay attention to this... Because the episode in which Amber appears, starts with this scene...
Gif credit @wildandwild
Grace says this after Danno confess she's the number one in his list.
And look at what she says, NUMBER TWO ISN'T EVEN CLOSE.
Because when Danny meets Amber, Amber says they're neighbors, because Danny is from Jersey and she's from New York.
So, the second one in Danny's list IS NOT CLOSE TO DANNY. Is not Amber. (Even if I love her, because she's badass and fabulous).
The writers made it wilders, because we will have Steve talking to Grover, saying Danny is IN THE NORTH COAST, WHICH MEANS, HE IS NOT CLOSE TO HIM, DANNY IS FAR AWAY FROM STEVE, AND VICEVERSA, SO, STEVE IS SETTLED HERE AS DANNY SECOND IMPORTANT PERSON IN HIS LIST.
Then we have Danny doubting if he should give this cute woman a chance, because, okay, he's not getting enough attention from his Seal and Gaby is gone. He decides to give it a shot.
Jealousy and Acceptance
Okay, what I'm about to say here is very sad.
When Danny arrives to Steve's house, he asked for Amber, and Danny had this sad expression in his face, but then Steve said Danny was perked up, and Danny mocks saying he doesn't perk up. And there's this exchange of looks, and Danny is smiling, but he's hiding what he is feeling right now. And then... This... (Thanks Trisha)
The following gif set credit belongs to @peggyswilliams
Fine, we have Danny naming situations, these situations are the same that brought Danny and Steve to work together and then to become great partners and best friend's, so, the face is screaming jealousy, but also, sadness. Because Danny is saying here YOU ARE SO KIND WITH YOUR NEW FRIEND, PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU TWO LIKE EACH OTHE.
And this, my friends, is huge!!!!
Danny is recriminating Steve about the way he treated him when they first met, and they way they flirted, and all those golden days full of dates and silliness, PEOPLE THOUGHT WE LIKED EACH OTHER. So, he is saying YOU CONFUSED ME, I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING THERE. And his face is full of sadness and longing.
Danny sees Steve being kind with Grover, and getting close to him, and he is Jealous, and he knows Steve is like this with everyone.
But this one, Danny is sad, and jealous, and disappointed, he is mourning that time when they were something else than friends.
Then Steve's tunes around and Danny face is pure longing. Is amazing, the performance is perfect, and you can read it all over his face and his eyes. His longing for Steve. For those days in which people thought they liked each other.
The I love you, and how Danny perked up after that
Episode 4x19 in which Danny and Steve were trapped when that building crashed, it was very pivotal in the show.
First of all, because Steve attention was again focused on Danny.
Steve thought Danny had died, so when he hears his voice, he runs to him, and holds his hand, with the biggest smile, showing his happiness and relief.
Steve was practically taking care of him, offering him water and trying to take care of the wound. In the middle of the horrible situation, they were bonding again.
Then... When Steve was about to explode that bomb to get them out from there, Danny tried to deliver a message to him, thinking that could be their last hours. But he couldn't, so he said it like a joke, because joking I their defense mechanism to say how they really feel for each other, is their safe place.
So this happened... Danny says, playing around, that he hates Steve, and Steve got the message, he turns around to the bomb, and says I LOVE YOU TOO, BUDDY.
His body language here was showing honesty, but at the same time, he said it natural.
But for Danny, it meant A LOT. Because Steve said before YOU SHOULD BE SURE TO SAY IT, BECAUSE IT CAN'T BE UNSAID.
And this scene showed us it meant more to Danny that to Steve in that moment.
The following gif set belongs to @flipse
Danny looks away, rants, makes circles about the idea he wants to express, because he feels embarrassed. But Steve, Steve is trying to recall what is Danny talking about.
Steve waits... "Come one, you are gonna make me say it?" Steve keeps waiting for him, because he already recalled what Danny is talking about.
The it comes, "I lOVE YOU."
In this moment of the season, it meant a lot to Danny, more than it meant to Steve, because Danny is the one pining for him. Steve is focused on Cath and his problems.
This entire Sun and Moon story will keep going until something huge will happen: THE LIVER TRANSPLANT.
There's a huge change attitude in Danny after 4x19, in 4x20 Danny mocks Steve (with a wink to the mcdanno shipper in their anniversary) but he mocks him about Cath, saying she wants to be away from him. Steve remains speechless for a moment, this is the old Danny there, the Danny that just perked up after a love confession, and is happy, and when Danny is happy, he flirts and plays around with Steve. After this Danny describes Steve like a black cloud that never goes away. Again using the joke to express how he feels about Steve. Their girlfriends are far away from them, but Steve is always there, by his side. Is like if Danny were saying "YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AWAY FROM ME", pointing at the previous joke he made about Cath and Steve.
Then, the I Love You comes again, freely, and comfortable.
There's another HUGE example of Danny playing around with Steve, this time trying to make him jealous, and enjoying his face with please, when he decides to bet for Lou, instead Steve.
Please go check this gifset here.
Look how Danny is deliberately trying to make Steve jealous, and he has immediately success on that.
And this face here...
Gif credit @indiguus
It says everything, Danny is so happy they're back in the game, he is enjoying Steve reaction with such a heart eyes on his boy. He loves him, deeply, and he enjoys to play around with him like this. Is definitely an attitude a lover would take just to watch a pretty mad/jealous face.
Infinitely priceless.
The season ends with Steve saying I LOVE YOU, with romantic meaning to Catherine, pointing us the love triangle, and the current unrequited love in wich Danny is pining for Steve, but at this moment, he is in order be with Catherine.
This was the I LOVE YOU season. Check this post from @five-wow , they also picked up the same analogy to show how important these three words were in season 4.
To Conclude:
Season 4 was the one in which Danny was planning ning for Steve, he even chooses him and Grace instead Gaby. He finds a new love interest, but he doubts I'm initiate something with her at first, because his feelings for Steve, which are unrequited in this season.
The story of the Sun and the Moon, two lovers separated by the day and the night, will end at the end of season 6, when Steve and Danny lives will connect again into a deeper meaning.
Hope you like my rants. See you in the next ones!
If you want to be tagged on these McDanno thoughts, just let me know.

Thank you for the feeding with your great gifsets! (Legit first thing I do after the episode ends is come to your blog to reblog your gifsets.) Maybe you can help me because I'm confused, but avoiding the tag for obvious reasons. I got really confused by what Ye Baiyi was talking about in that scene alone with the sword, but I don't know if it was explained before and I forgot, it wasn't explained, or will be explained. Any clue or have you seen something about it somewhere? Thanks. :D
ahhhhhhh finally answering this and omg thank you so much?!?!?!?!!Ā o(TćTo) Iām not sure if youāve watched all the way up to the end yet so Iāll still put it below a cut! basically a little into ye baiyiās past
Iām gonna take it that youāre referring to this particular scene in episode 32
heās talking to rong changqing, the father of rong xuan!
ye baiyi and rong xuan were very very close friends. in the show, changqing founded the ghost valley for evildoers to turn over a new leaf, and he ended up trying to master the six combination genuine qi (that evil skill that wkx helps zzh to use in episode 36) so that he could control these whole bunch of ghosts. but of course things didnāt go exactly as planned and while his intentions were good, he ended up...Ā čµ°ē«å
„é (itās a really common concept in wuxia that I donāt really know how to explain this in english, thereās even a wiki page here lol).
anyway so in that particular scene, in the aftermath of wkx seemingly falling to his death (which we now know was a whole ass scheme that yby himself was all along in the know ofĀ ā¼_ā¼), yby is lamenting how much death and destruction the ghost valley has brought, and lamenting how his friend changqing just had to so damned ambitious and kind (āare you a bodhisattva??āĀ āyou are a mere mortal, why are you worried for heaven??ā very rough translations of what yby says) to want to save the evildoers, which caused him to go down the dark path himself and in the long run create the evil ghost valley.Ā
but past that scene with the sword, tbh I havenāt really figured out much of what happened between yby and changqing. or at least, the show didnāt say explicitly what the events of their relationship were, or maybe I just missed it lol. in episode 36, yby hints that changqing was the one who willingly sacrificed himself to pass the six combination genuine qi skill to yby, which is why yby has lived for so long in the cold mountain. but Iām not sure when changqing died, whether he died from the act of transferring the skill itself, or whether he was immortal together with yby (this one I doubt so bc of ybyās voiceover of what the skill is about in the very last scene of 36... but then how can wen kexing in the special episode be explained then).Ā
VERSUS in the book where changqing is a normal dude who wanted to master the six combination skill out of personal ambition (and not to control the ghost valley like in shan he ling), but same outline: things didnāt go as planned, heĀ čµ°ē«å
„é-ed, yby (his childhood friend) saved his ass by transferring changqingās spiritual energy over to himself, and the six combination skill together with it - he expected himself to be negatively affected (or even die) because of it. but in ybyās case, he didnātĀ čµ°ē«å
„é and ended up absorbing it instead, becoming an immortal.Ā
the rest of their history in the book is pretty similar to the show. yby, changqing, and changqingās wife stayed together on the mountain and raised changqingās son, rong xuan, who later grew ambitious himself and wanted to gather the martial skills and secrets of the jianghu and collect them together, thus starting the whole glazed armour thing.Ā
anyway! that was a very long rambling somewhat spoilery answer but I hope it makes sense alsklkdfĀ m(_ _;m) I really got the feeling from book yby and changqing that yby...... had feelings for changqing??? I really wish theyād gone more into detail on ybyās past (maaann was I looking forward to yby angst) bc itās a whole lot of pain in itself but I guess I had to make do watching yby slowly age before our eyes and his sad wistful old man quotes ;u;

well i didn't know you shipped parkerita i actually only found your blog through a gifset you made involving jordan/maggie so i wasn't sure if maybe you liked them as more than a friendship. the thing with parkerita and parker is that as an og charmed fan and a fan of phole and of cole turner i can see the writers were trying to emulate them and it doesn't sit right with me
with jordan and maggie, iām enjoying their friendship right now. i am a multi-shipper, so if i happen to enjoy how their relationship is developed into something more, iād be down. as an og charmed fan myself though, i was never a fan of cole, or his relationship with phoebe. so the only similarities to me between phole and parkerita are the witch/demon specs. so, i donāt agree with you there.
the romance theyāre setting up between macy and harry feels a lot more organic and itās not at all a piper/leo 2.0. with parkerita they straight up admitted to trying to emulate a romance of the original show that was iconic and if theyāre actually modelling parker after cole than iām sorry but theyāre insulting the character and julian mcmahonās work while theyāre at it because cole was always a layered, complex antagonist and love interest
i donāt agree about hacy feeling organic at all. if anything, to me, it feels forced during this season 2 story line. in season 1, we had them building up to it, they had their cute moments. so i could see why people shipped them as more than friends. i personally never did though. i always saw harry as a big brother to the charmed ones. he took care of them, but was a goof when it came to their human ways. it was funny, and cute with all the sisters. and now, i just feel like hacy is taking up way too much screen time away from the sisters, but also putting macy in this negative space i donāt want her in. again, i donāt agree about cole, and i love parker. i felt like cole took way too much time away from the charmed ones, and put phoebe in this negative i didnāt want her in. funny how thatās happening now with hacy to me.
thatās not me saying parker caine is completely one dimensional but he is also less complex and i hate that they made his main motivation for goodness to be maggie. in the og show cole wanted to be good both to be worthy of phoebe and the love she had for him and for himself. he realized how vile and evil he had been, recognized the humanity that he still had and fought for multiple seasons with himself to be good. thatās more compelling to me than parker ridding himself of evil for a woman
i personally find parker more complex and enjoyed his internal struggle with his demon side in season 1. iām not really sure how i feel about him in season 2 yet, iāll wait till we get more to make up my mind on that. knowing heās struggled with his demon side though, i understand why it took someone else to give him the motivation to be good. it was the push he needed, and i donāt think thatās necessarily a bad thing story line wise. also wow, we really see cole differently. i always found him to be so selfish.
and as far as romance in the new charmed is involved, everyone save for macy is getting screwed over honestly. iām more concerned with the way mel is jumping between fleeting love interests and both serious relationships sheās been with have ended abruptly and with both women she cared for vanishing into thin air. like why have a queer woman front and center and treat her this way? why so much focus on het ships?
i think theyāre all being screwed over, including macy, when it comes to romance. like, iām personally enjoying her moments with julian right now, because it feels natural with them. she feels more natural and happy around him. sheās found someone who speaks her language, and itās just beautifully sad because galvin was that person for her. i shipped her with galvin, by the way. i just donāt trust the writers when it comes to macyās happiness, or julian, so iām setting myself up for disappointment, and i know it. when it comes to mel though, romance wise, i feel like because she had two big love interests in season 1, and then they dropped that in season 2, i feel like the writers donāt know what to give her in the romance department now. itās more than that though because with mel, it feels like theyāre falling flat on giving her more of anything. she kinda feels like sheās just tagging along in the show. but again thatās why my major disappointment with season 2 is the lack of charmed ones, and their moments together. she deserves so much better as a main character, plot wise, and romance wise. i do agree on the too much focus on het ships. i want more charmed ones and less romance in general. not have it completely taken away, but the charmed ones should come first, and then each of their personal love lives.
lastly (and i know itās a lot of messages i just wanted to explain my stance more in depth i guess, and i hope it doesnāt come across like saying iām right and youāre wrong, those are only my opinions as someone who dearly loved the original charmed and its characters and also enjoys the reboot but takes some issue with the way they take āinspirationā from the orginal at times) but i think itās telling that people hate/disagree with abigael and her methods but would love them if she was a man
youāre always welcome to leave me a lot of messages, i donāt mind them. i understand wanting to make sure your point was gotten right. weāre not gonna agree 100% about a show and thatās okay. as long as weāre civil, and can agree to disagree. also, iāve loved abigael since her introduction. me being tired of her still having parker locked up is about my love for the parker character. it doesnāt make me hate her in anyway. i like her arc about wanting to be the overlord and trying to prove herself. honestly, my only dig at abigael, and itās more to the writers again, itās her involvement with harry/hacy. i already donāt enjoy hacy, but the drama with involving abigael is again taking up too much screen time from the sisters. that whole mess is just annoying and boring to me. i want harry to go back to being the big brother of the charmed ones, involved in helping them save people, not coming between any girls, or taking up the sisters screen time with relationship drama. i just donāt like it.
