fwb!rafe x meanprincess!reader

you knew you werent allowed to be jealous - that wasnt fair, and it certainly wasnt part of rafe and yours agreement.

and you knew it wasnt rational - you didnt even know why you were jealous. it wasnt like you had feelings for rafe, he was you best friend. so the two of you had fun every now and then and hooked up, he was still only just your best friend. in fact. he was really just looking out for you, making sure that you were getting the pleasure you deserved, that no one but him could give you. it was a solid arrangement, and you wouldnt change it anyways.

so what if you wanted to hold on a little tighter after he pleased you? so what if you liked it when he stayed later to watch a movie? so what if you liked it when he bought you things? these were normal things that best friends did, or at least thats what rafe told you.

but you were mad right now, and all you wanted to do was leave this stupid party rafe dragged you to.

rafe had left you alone for just a few minutes with his friends, and you didn't mind at all, enjoying the company of the two boys quite a lot. top and kelce were like brothers to you after all these years, and you thought they were the funniest boys in the obx. you were having fun, but then you turned you head to the drinks table where rafe was, surround by a literal swarm of girls. and the worst part, was he looked like he was enjoying it. you huffed with a narrow of you brows and turned your attention away from the scene, not wanting rafe to catch you looking.

you mind ran wild. what was he doing? why was he enjoying all that attention when you gave him all of yours and then some? were you not good enough for him?

you decided to play it cool, continuing your conversation with the other boys. eventually rafe came back, sitting right next to you as he was before, and handing you a drink. feeling petty, you look at the drink and scrunch your nose up, then shake your head, turning back to top and kelce. rafe scoffed, rolling his eyes, and set your drink on the table in front of him, crossing one leg over the other and leaning back against the couch, his arm resting on the cushion behind you.

you pretty much ignored rafe the whole rest of the night, and you could feel him growing frustrated beside you. rafe cleared his throat before speaking. "I've gotta take this one home, boys, curfew."

you narrow you eyes and open your mouth to oppose, but rafe sends you a withering stare and you decide against it, saying your goodbyes as rafe drags you out.

he huffs, bending down with his hands on your biceps, his expression hardened. "ok, what the fuck was that all about?"

you eyes narrow. "nothing."

he scoffs. "bull shit. why'r you actin like a brat?"

the annoyed pout on you face spoke for itself. "nothing, its just that if you wanna fuck other girls, thats fine, but i'd rather you tell me so I could get checked for whatever weird shit they're carrying around".

rafe face lights in realization and he drops his hands from your arms, running them down his face with an amused smile, shaking his head in subtle laugher.

you pout, spurred on by his sudden amusement. "what?" you snap.

he finishes his laughter, crossing his arms. "no, nothin, its just - I just get it now. i get your lil problem."

you cross your arms, mirroring him. "do you?" you ask sassily.

he chuckles, walking right in front of you, leaning down to be face to face. "sweetie, if you were feelin a lil territorial, just say that," he says, his voice quiet and cocky. his hands traveled to your waist, giving it a good squeeze.

you feel more enraged and you scoff, pushing him away (though he barely budges). "get the fuck over yourself, rafe, god!" you exclaim.

rafe grabs your wrist in a tight grip, the smile disappearing from his face. "hey, no no no. none'a that. was tryin t'be nice but guess thats out of the books, huh princess?" you pout at his condescending tone but don't speak, knowing it would only dig you in a deeper hole.

"y'know that I wasn't gunna fuck any of those girls. we were j'talkin," he explains, his voice coming across level, almost as if he was trying to dumb down his tone.

at his words, you roll your eyes, which causes rafe to tug harder on your wrists. "hey, stop," he scolds sternly. "m'not fuckin anyone else, hear me? so stop being such a little brat about it. god, makes me wonder why I fuckin put up with you."

his words trigger a pout, and you tug again at your wrist, trying to free them. "quit it, rafe, i hear you."

"nuh-uh, dont think y'hearin me," he responds, his features softening up the slightest, "how bout this, huh? i take you back to tannyhill, make y'feel real good, and then you know for sure that m'not fuckin with anyone else? how does that sound baby?"

you werent sure if it was the suggestion, or the way he called you baby that made you agree, but all you knew is that you ended the night with rafe, feeling much more confident that he wasnt, and wouldnt, fuck any other girl in the obx but you.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠; 18+ interactions only, wlw, omg i wrote something SFW!

Sevika being "not good with kids" but kids loving her anyway. She doesn't hate children, of course - she's just awkward around them. Sevika's generally not much of a talker and kids tend to talk a lot, so being left alone with a kid to entertain isn't ideal for her. Not only that but she's big and has a (also big) mechanical arm modified with sharp weapons. The control she has over her arm is unmatched, obviously but the subconscious fear that it's going to malfunction or something too close to a little one is always in the back of her mind when they're around. It never does. Because duh.

Kids though? Oh, they love her. She's quiet, but she's great at "pretending to listen" (as she calls it). As much as she doesn't want to admit it, some of the things kids talk about are deeply entertaining. One time she was 'forced' to listen to a six-year-old daughter of one of Silco's goons talk to her about a game of house that went wrong and the drama between the kid who played the mom and the kid who played the dad was so intriguing she started asking questions like she was watching a reality TV show.

Her height, her strength, and her arm? To any other adult those qualities make her a lethal tank of a soldier. To a kid? Free jungle gym. Kids that sometimes come around her quickly figured out that the most she would do is scowl at them and gently place them back on the ground if they started climbing up onto her, and the scowling doesn't even happen often anymore because one time she made a little girl cry. Now she just rolls her eyes, and entertains it for a little bit before making them get down.

One of the funniest things she discovered she could do is straight up lie. Children lack that filter between their brains and their mouths that blocks adults from saying whatever the Hell they want so they frequently ask about her arm. At first she just dismissed the question, then one day she thought about it and realized...they don't know. She could say whatever she wanted and what were the kids gonna do? Tell her it didn't happen that way?

"Where'd your arm go?"

And then her answer would be something different for each kid:

"It got bitten off by a shark" "I lost it battling a dragon" "This is my arm...I was born with it" "It just didn't wanna be there anymore....seriously, just got up n' walked away from me one day." (a favorite she had to stop using because one day a kid spent the rest of the day clutching his arm in fear that his arm would decide it didn't like him anymore and walk off)

Have y'all ever seen those videos of dudes holding babies weird? Doctors will come on the internet and say it's good for the baby, which, slay, but it's still a weird way to hold a baby, right? That's how Sevika holds babies. She will do everything but hold them 'correctly' for some reason. I once saw this video of a guy carrying his baby by the back of its onesie like cats carry kittens by the scruff of their necks and I could 1000% see Sevika doing just that (obviously once the baby can like, hold its own head up). Or like carrying the baby on their stomach on her forearm (I think it's called a football hold?). It's always a little anxiety-inducing to see but also a little funny because the baby would just be chilling and looking around, not caring how precariously it's dangling in the air.

I dunno what made me do this at 7 in the morning but uh...yeah

[lunar-oceansong]

my pitch for why Wanderer and Furina should be friends (and that they should meet through an interlude quest like Itto and Xiao)

"viewed as flawed for being too human" vs "viewed as perfect due to being human". (aka false god trauma yknow.)

they both wear blue (blue besties!!!)

half of their dialogue would be trying to say they're better than the other, but neither of them actually believe that

furina loves sweets. wanderer hates sweets. battle to the death.

in one of her character lines, furina says she loves to surf, so furina teaching the wanderer how to surf would be the funniest fucking thing ever and i will not take any arguments on this

BOTH OF THEM HAVE WHOLE THINGS INVOLVING CRYING??? FURINA'S PROPHECY VS WANDERER CRYING WHEN RAIDEN TRIED PUTTING THE GNOSIS IN HIM??? (this ones in all caps cause i realized it while making this post)

the only two characters to have received a vision on screen should get to be besties methinks

furina having to learn how to act inhuman vs the wanderer having to learn how to act human

"why did you give your hydro pets such complicated names" "I- you- well- uh- YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A NAME" "HEY-"

i just think it'd be both funny and angsty and bro thats the perfect combination when it comes to media. they are THE gap between a tragedy and comedy

Ask Game:

Eri ends up 1-A's homeroom teacher

Torino was simply out for a walk and probably going to fight some crooks as a morning workout when a small child bumps into him. Gran has been through some shit in his life. He realized exactly what was happening to her. However, before he could do much about it, the Yakuza appeared and Eri freaked out and whoops there goes Rewind.

"Fuck," he said. "God damn it. Now I can't pretend to be senile." To alleviate this stress he promptly took down whichever poor bastard was supposed to get Eri back. Unfortunately he didn't have a way to calm Eri down except by letting her get it out of her system. As soon as she fainted from exhaustion, he adopted her. No one can stop him. Torino does what he wants. This has the added effect of the stress from her time with the Yakuza and now this causes her Quirk to awaken.

After All Might turns down the UA position, Nedzu reaches out to Gran Torino for any recommendations. Gran himself declines to take up teaching again. But. Do you know what would be funny. Being something of a chaotic bastard himself, Nedzu agrees that hiring Eri would be hilarious. She has, after all, spent the past few years with Gran and he has done his best to teach her everything he knows. To make sure this actually goes well, Gran becomes her "teaching assistant," but the class will not be told about this.

The first warning signs for 1-A is the small child hanging out in their classroom. She says she's not lost but how did she get here? Surprise! That's your teacher! And if you don't take her seriously she'll quickly demonstrate that she learned from Gran "Made All Might Puke" Torino. Especially since her Quirk is also a stockpile Quirk, something he's very familiar with. Iida is losing it.

The Interschoolastic Sports Festival is a collaborative celebration of the hard work of Heroic students nationwide. It happens in the spring so that upperclassman can promote themselves for work studies. It is an all-day event that challenges every skill students have. Each round has multiple different challenges running simultaneously, with participants sorted randomly. Winners move onto the next round until the tournament bracket at the end.

+1. Eri isn't a genius prodigy, but she was taught by Gran Torino, and he and Nedzu are further helping her out after school lets out each day, so she's doing a surprisingly good job, especially since she can Rewind away injuries in class.

+2. Her go-to disciplinary action is making you younger than her. Now you have to listen to her!

+3. UA High School has a reputation for claiming the majority of the tournament round positions every year, something they're quite proud of, and that's a streak the other school are all eager to break, especially Shiketsu.

+4. There is no UA Crush at the Provisional License Exams since that information is all equally shared between schools at this event.

+5. Participation in the Interschoolastic Sports Festival is optional for non-Hero students. UA hosts a second, more traditional sports festival in October for Sports Day for those students and their parents.

+6. All Might not being at UA means the League isn't focused on it, so there's way more time for Eri Shenanigans

What does Eri have to do with a nationwide Sports Festival? Easy. It's the funniest thing I could do to Eri as a teacher.

[elieowlsclownery]

It's Ameri's birthday and I think she deserves some love too!!! Sometimes I think she gets underappreciated because of the love trio and people have a habit of pitting her against the trio, as if somehow her being around devalues the trio or vice versa. But I think in this kind of story both relationships can be valued. But first let me mention something I wanted to say about Ameri for awhile but couldn't because I was too worried about my favorite weird girl.

Ameri loves Demons just as much as Iruma. Throughout the manga Ameri doesn't just focus on Iruma. She's attracted to a lot of interesting demons, from the school council members she keeps recruiting to Mephisto in her most recent appearance.

She loves unique demons! Even during the devilculum when her romantic(?) dance with Iruma was interrupted she ended up distracted because she found another interesting demon that surprised her.

In a way a lot of her attraction to Iruma is because despite knowing he's human Ameri still sees him as a demon. A unique, interesting and lovable demon, the kind of demon Ameri can't help but admire. Sure she fantasizes about him being more romantic than he actually is, but the reason she fell so hard for him is because of who Iruma is as a person. Someone who could surprise her consistently, who's greed and ambitions grows bigger and bigger with each passing page. Someone who also shares her love for demons and the demonworld.

And I think because of this Ameri is the most likely rival candidate to become the Demon King. Even more than the spoiled grandsons and Sabnock. Because she loves demons as much as Iruma and is the one that taught him ambition.

...and maybe also because if Iruma catches up to her she'll have to confess her feelings and she's not ready for that!!!

On Iruma's side I don't think Ameri's importance to him can be argued. As stated before Ameri was the one who taught him ambition, she was the first to push him and inspire him. He might not think of it as romantic at this point (no I haven't forgotten the blush) but there's no doubt Ameri holds a very special place in his heart. And this might be controversial, but I think Ameri and Iruma can end up together. I think the latest chapter also shows that Clara is alright with them having their own lives apart sometimes so long as she knows she's loved. I don't think that love is going to decimate if Iruma catches feelings for Ameri.

BUUUUUUT!!!!!

I think if Iruma and Ameri get together there's a few things I'd like to see. Main one being that if Iruma's going to be with Ameri he should realize he likes her and confess to her before she does! Not the other way around! He can't just passively accept Ameri's feelings, he needs to wholeheartedly admit to his desires! I think that's also the only way his soulmates will accept it, because aside from obvious jealousy the reason they're so defensive and pull up the soulmate guard is because they're aware Iruma's a pushover. If they feel Iruma only accepted her feelings because he couldn't say no Bablys's heat intex is going to skyrocket.

Likewise Ameri's going to either accept Iruma's a three-for-one deal and/or somehow end up joining the polycule lol. But what would be even more fun is if she ends up having her OWN harem. We've already seen how much her council members adore her. Plus it'd be funny for their newest member Vine who thought he escaped one harem only to end up in another one. In fact Clara and Azz should have their own harem too! I've kinda been wanting Clara to have her own set of admirers because she deserves it!!! As for Azz.........................I'm not sure who would be brave enough but I'm sure someone will be! Eventually!

Another sillier reason I want Iruma to realize his feelings for Ameri before she confesses is because I'd think it'd be the FUNNIEST thing if Iruma decides he's going to confess...after he reaches the same rank as her! If there's going to be romance plots I need them to be silly. I need them to be absolute fools, I need the buffoonery levels to be at MAX.

LivDom's Problems

This is probably more of a vent post than anything else, but I said I would make a post about this at some point, so here it is. If you're a LivDom fan you're gonna wanna scroll past this.

Right off the bat I'm going to disclose that I am a RheaDom and L4B truther, but this post isn't about them. I'm going to do my best to view LivDom in a vacuum, without comparing them to other ships, except where it would be unavoidably relevant.

I also want to say that I have no issue with Liv or Dom as characters. I actually love both of them as SEPARATE ENTITIES. My problems begin and end with them as a couple. Also, this is in no way meant to hate on LivDom fans. I'm not going to tag this as LivDom because anyone scrolling through that tag probably doesn't want to see posts against them. This is purely an opinion.

Also, I know it's all kayfabe, but I'm treating it like it's real, because it's more fun that way.

With that said, I'm going to start with my most biased point, as it's based mainly on personal preference.

1. PDA

The amount of PDA shown by this couple is something I find to be uncomfortable, but more than that, it feels too showy, like they're overcompensating for the cameras. They're constantly hanging off each other, rubbing noses, making suggestive comments, and using pet names. It's Like they have to PROVE that they're a real, happy couple.

Additionally, Liv's insistence on calling Dom 'Daddy' is just... gross. I'm not against Mommy/Daddy kinks- some could even say I understand the appeal- but it crosses the line when someone calls their partner that in public in what is clearly supposed to be a sexual manner. I don't want to be forced to hear a woman call a man Daddy, and I don't know many people that do.

Also- and this is again more down to preference- you will never show me this man and convince me that he is 'Daddy.'

2. How They Started

Dominik and Liv literally got together because Dominik CHEATED ON RHEA WITH LIV IN FRONT OF HER AFTER SABOTAGING HER TITLE MATCH. Regardless of your feelings on RheaDom, that is deeply wrong. It also establishes a pattern of behavior.

We always knew that Dominik is a slimy little weasel- it's one of the funniest things about him. He betrayed his family for the Judgment Day, then betrayed Rhea for Liv. It isn't out of the question that he will eventually betray Liv for someone else.

Namely, another champion.

I'm not saying that this would ever actually happen, but it goes to further my point. When Tiffany essentially hit on Dom when talking about cashing in her briefcase, he didn't look uncomfortable or annoyed.

He looked... intrigued.

Until, that is, Liv looked back at him and he realized that his girlfriend might be upset.

It wasn't exactly the reaction of someone who is unquestionably loyal to Liv, is all I'm saying

3. His Reasoning

To start, I'm just going to quote Dominik verbatim as to why he chose Liv over her.

"Now, I got a girl that calls me Daddy. She gives me tendies whenever I want, she lets me play video games whenever I want, she lets me be me. And, she did something you could never do- finally helping me beat my deadbeat dad."

Does this sound like someone who chose Liv because he just loves her so, so much? Or does this sound like a spoiled child talking about why he wants his babysitter to be his real mom?

He only talks about what Liv does/did for him. He doesn't say that she's kind/smart/courageous. He focuses on her physical appeal and how she indulges him.

He also claims that he was embarrassed to call Rhea 'Mami,' but the first time he does it is of his own volition, and Rhea seemed visibly surprised when it happened.

4. Finally, Communication

Dominik isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer- this is nothing new- and he's not particularly skilled at reading the room. He doesn't pick up on tone or subtext. He doesn't read between the lines. He takes words at face value and doesn't question them. He requires clear communication, especially if someone is upset with him.

Liv is not someone adept at clear communication. She's passive-agressive and doesn't always say what she thinks. It's played for laughs, but it's still true.

After Rhea wins the title back from Liv, Dominik asks if Liv is mad at him for trying to hug Rhea (which he explained away as him trying to steal the title, even though he would know damn well that's not how it works), and Liv says that she isn't mad in a tone that makes it very, very clear that she is, indeed, mad.

Dominik, however, doesn't question this. He takes her words at face value, despite Finn, JD, and even Carlito being able to tell that Liv is at least a little upset with him. Eventually, we're led to believe that Liv just got over it, but the core issue of communication was not solved.

In Conclusion

Without taking other relationships like RheaDom and L4B into consideration, I propose the claim that Liv and Dominik are, in my opinion, the WORST kind of straight couple. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Stranger Things (Steve Harrington x Female!Reader)

Chapter 14: The Bite

Previous Chapter/ Next Chapter

“Jesus, slow down!” Steve slurs as Robin drives the little car towards the elevator. Dustin and Erica were in the passenger seat and Steve and (y/n) were in the back. “Yeah, what is this, like, the Indy 500?” (Y/n) asked. “It's the Indy 300.” Steve tried to correct. “No, doofus, it's 500!” (Y/n) said. “It's 300!” Steve argues. “Let's say a million.” (y/n) said then her and Steve begins to laugh out loud like it was the funniest joke ever.

“What is wrong with them?” Erica asked. “I don't know.” Robin said as she continues to drive but she was going so fast. Erica and Dustin gasp as they see some barrels up ahead. “Robin, watch out!” Dustin exclaims and Robin slams on the break but crashes into the barrels and (y/n) and Steve hit the back end of the truck, groaning in pain.

“You guys all right back there?” Robin asked but only got groans of pain from them. “They're fine.” Robin said then her and the two kids get out of the car and open the back of the car. “Come on. We gotta go, now.” Dustin tells the two then he and Erica shout at Steve and (y/n) to move but they barely move.

Then the trio start to pull them out of the car. “Ow! We're coming!” Steve grumbles as they get into the elevator and Dustin uses the keycard he had stole from that guard Steve beat up earlier. “Here goes nothin'.” Dustin said and the elevator doors close and it goes up, really fast.

At that moment, Steve and (y/n) start to whoop and holler at this as Steve stands on top of a push cart and tries to balance himself. “Hey! You look like you're surfing!” (Y/n) tells him. “Surfing! Yeah!” Steve agrees and they continue to laugh while Dustin, Robin and Erica stare at them, confused.

“They seem drunk.” Erica said. “Why would they be drunk?” Dustin asked and Robin gasped as she realized something. “I’d bet anything they’re drugged.” Robin said. “What? Drugged?” Dustin said just as Steve shouts. “I'm a natural! Check it out!” 

Then (y/n) pulls the cart back and Steve stumbles forward and falls to the ground. “Wipeout!” (y/n) exclaims and they laugh just as Robin kneels down to Steve and places a hand on his forehead. “He's burning up.” she tells the others. “You're burning up.” Steve grumbles at Robin.

“One sec, one sec. Steve, Steve.” Robin said as she tries to grab his head then gets a good look at his eyes. “God, no. Ow!” Steve groans and Robin noticed his pupils were dilated. “His pupils are super dilated. Which means he has been drugged.” Robin said and she goes over to her friend.

“Steve, are you drugged?” Dustin asked Steve as Robin goes up to (y/n). “Hey, what are you…?” (Y/n) said to Robin as she grabs her face and looks into her eyes. “How many times, Dad? I don't do drugs. It's only marijuana.” Steve said to Dustin, sarcastically. “This isn't funny, okay? I need to know what they did to you. Are you gonna die on us?” Dustin asked Steve, who reaches out and touches Dustin’s nose. “Boop.” He said as Robin removes her hands off of (y/n).

”We all die, my strange little child friend. It's just a matter of how...and when.” (y/n) replied to Dustin as Robin looks at him and nods, confirming that (y/n) was also drugged. “They're gonna be looking for us up there, so I need you to tell me where you parked your car.” Dustin said. “Oh, can we make a pit stop at the food court?” Steve asked. “I would kill for a hot dog on a stick.” (Y/n) said and Steve made a noise of approval.

“All right. Yeah, food. Yes, you can have as much food as you want, but only if you tell us where your car is parked.” Robin said. “Uh-oh.” Steve said as if he realized something. “Uh-oh?” Dustin asked, confused. “The car's off the board.” Steve replied. “What?” Dustin and Robin asked. “They took the keys. The Russians, they took the keys. Like, forever ago.” Steve said as he pulls out his empty pockets and (y/n) laughs, hysterically, then Steve joins in the laughter. “That's a bummer, right?” Steve asked and Dustin, Robin and Erica share a look.

Later, the elevator stops and they go to the door and opens it, revealing the outside world. “Oh! Oh, my God, that tastes so good. Ah!” (y/n) said, pleasurablely, as she opens her mouth and sticks her tongue out, tasting the air. “Steve, can you taste the air?” She asked Steve as he too sticks his tongue out.

“I taste it! I taste it!” He said as they walk in but Dustin, Robin and Erica stop as they see the gate opening and two guards run after them. “Stop!” The guard shouts. “Shit! Come on! Come on!” Dustin shouts as they turn and grab (y/n) and Steve and head back into the Mall. “Okay, okay, okay! Woo!” (Y/n) exclaims as he raises her hands in the air while Robin pushes her back in while Dustin pushes Steve. “Why are we running?” Steve asked as they enter back into the mall.

“Where are we going?” Robin asked Dustin as they run down the back hallways of the mall. “Just trust me.” Dustin said then they come up to a door and Dustin opens it and looks around. “All clear.” He said and they walk out to see they are in the movie theater section of the mall. They walk into the screening of Back To The Future. Steve grabs a bag of popcorn out of the trash can as they enter the screening, the scene when Doc Brown tested his Time Machine for the first time.

“Come on.” Dustin whispers as they walk on the walk way and towards the front row. “You two, sit.” Robin orders Steve and (y/n). “No, no, no! These seats are too close! Dude, these seats blow.” Steve argues while a few people shushes them. “Then don't watch the movie.” Dustin tells them. “We wanna watch it.” (Y/n) said. “Then watch it!” Dustin yells then a guy in the seat behind the two drugged people leans forward and shushes them.

“Sorry.” Dustin said to the guy then Robin looks at Steve and (y/n). “Whatever you do, don't...go...anywhere.” She said, firmly, to them. “Fine, Mom.” Steve grumbles and he and (y/n) laugh alittle before Dustin, Robin and Erica run over to the end of the row of seats and sit into the three empty seats.

“Okay, it's official. I'm never having kids.” Dustin mutters. “What are we doing here?” Erica asked. “We're laying low. Cooling off. Like Oswald.” Dustin said. “Oswald was found in a theater and shot to death.” Robin points out. “A week later.” Dustin adds. “The point is, his plan didn't work.” Erica said.

“Only because it was a setup.” Dustin said. “What?” Erica asked. “He was just a patsy.” Dustin argued. “Tell me you're joking.” Erica said then a few people behind them shushes them and they shush them back. “We need to get outta here.” Erica said. “All right, you two watch Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Make sure they don't go anywhere.” Dustin tells Erica and Robin. 

“Where are you going?” Robin asked him. “To find us a ride.” Dustin said and he gets up and leave. “What's happening?” (Y/n) asked Steve, quietly. “I have no idea.” Steve replied as they continued to eat the popcorn.

Minutes later, Dustin comes running back in and takes his seat. “Do you guys have any batteries? Double-A?” He asked Robin and Erica. “Why would we have batteries?” Erica asked. “I always carry batteries.” Dustin replied. “Then what's the problem?” Robin asked him. “I need eight.” Dustin said. “Eight?” Robin and Erica asked and Dustin sighs.

“Shit. Guess we'll have to go to plan B.” He mutters. “Plan B? What's plan B?” Robin asked him and Dustin looks down the row and noticed Steve and (y/n) are gone. “Where...are they?” He asked, worried.

Outside of the theater, Steve was drinking water from the fountain while (y/n) was leaning against the wall. “That's amazing.” Steve said and he continues to drink the water. “So, like, I wasn't totally focused in there or anything, but...I'm pretty sure...that mom was trying to bang her son.” (Y/n) said. 

“Wait, wait, the hot chick was Alex P. Keaton's mom?” Steve asked. “Yeah, I'm pretty sure.” (Y/n) said. “But they're the same age.” Steve said. “No, but he went back in time.” (Y/n) explains. “Then why is it called Back to the Future?” Steve asked after drinking some more water. “He has to go back to the future because he's in the past. So, the future is actually the present, which is his time.” (Y/n) said and Steve looks at this stunned then turned to her, confused

“Wh...What?” He asked. “No, no, it's my turn. You've had enough.” (Y/n) said and she shoves Steve away from the fountain and drinks the water. Steve then looks up and notices all the lights were getting blurry and spin a little. “Wow. Hey, (y/n). You gotta check this out.” Steve said and (y/n) runs over to him and looks up.

“Check this...This...The ceiling, it's beautiful.” Steve slurs as the room starts to blur and spin some more. “Oh, wow.” (Y/n) said then she spins around. “Oh.” She mutters but then the two begin to grunt as they start to feel sick. Then they run to the nearest bathroom and get into their own toilet stall and puke into the toilet.

Afterwhile, the two stop puking and flush their respective toilets. (Y/n) lays on her back, staring at the ceiling. “The ceiling stopped spinning for me. Is it still spinning for you?” (Y/n) asked Steve and he looks up to see it wasn’t spinning anymore. “Holy shit. No. You think we puked it all up?” He asked. 

“Maybe. I’ll ask you something then, after you answer, you’ll ask me something.” (Y/n) said and Steve scoffs out a laugh. “Okay, sure. Hit me.” Steve said and (y/n) thinks for a moment. “Have you...ever been in love?” She asked him. “Yep. Nancy Wheeler. First semester, senior year.” Steve replied and (y/n) scoffs out a laugh. 

“Robin always called her a priss.” She said and Steve hums alittle. “Turns out, not really.” He said and (y/n) stays silent at this. “Okay, mine to ask.” Steve said. “Shoot.” (Y/n) said. “Back in the bunker when you said you liked me, did you mean it?” Steve asked her and (y/n) sighs. He had to ask that question.

She then goes to sit up. “You’re supposed to ask an easy question.” She said and Steve chuckles alittle. “It’s an easy yes or no answer.” He said and (y/n) thinks over her answer. “Yes…I did mean it. Although you weren’t supposed to find out about it.” She replied. “Why not?” Steve asked, confused. “I didn’t want to make things weird between us, cause I know I don’t have a chance with you.” She replied.

”Why would you say that?” He asked her. “Cause who could ever love me?” She said, quietly, but it was loud enough for Steve to hear. He goes quiet at this, too stunned to even think of a response to this. “Are you still in love with Nancy?” (Y/n) asked and Steve thinks over for a moment before shaking his head. “No.” He replied, truthfully.

“Why not?” (Y/n) asked him. “I think it's because I found someone who's a little bit better for me.” Steve replied and (y/n)’s heart drops alittle. “It's crazy. Ever since Dustin got home, he's been saying, You know, you gotta find your Suzie. You gotta find your Suzie. Which, honestly, I'm not 100% sure she's even real.” Steve said and (y/n) chuckles, quietly.

“But that's not...that's not really the point. That doesn't matter. The point is, this girl, you know, the one that I like, it's somebody that I...hung out with a few times. Got to know her better and even fought some monsters alongside her.” Steve said and (y/n)’s heart stops at this, feeling like her soul left her body.

”I should’ve asked her out while in school but…I didn’t. Maybe 'cause Tommy H. would've made fun of me or...I wouldn't be...prom king. It's stupid. I mean, Dustin's right, it's all just a bunch of bullshit anyways. Because, when I think about it, I should've been with this girl the whole time. First of all, she's hilarious. She's so funny. I feel like, these last several months, I have laughed harder than I have laughed...in a really long time. And she's smart. Way smarter than me. You know, she can crack, like, top secret Russian codes and...You know? She's honestly unlike anyone I've ever even met before.” Steve confesses and (y/n)’s jaw dropped then she places her hands over her mouth.

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was Steve Harrington…THE Steve Harrington…confessing that he had a crush on her and that he should’ve asked her out a long time ago?

”(y/n)? (Y/n), did you just OD in there?” Steve asked as he noticed she hadn’t talked in a while and taps the wall of the stall. “No. I...am still alive.” She said, removing her hands off of her face and pulls her legs up to her chest, then Steve slides up under the stall and scoots over to the stall (y/n) is in, sitting across from her. “The floor's disgusting.” (Y/n) said. “Yeah, well, I already got a bunch of blood and puke on my shirt, so...” Steve said as he shrugs.

“What do you think?” Steve asked. “About?” (Y/n) asked. “This girl.” Steve replied. “She sounds awesome.” (Y/n) said, smiling. “She is awesome. And what about the guy?” Steve asked. “I think he's on drugs, and he's not thinking straight.” (Y/n) replied. “Really? 'Cause I think he's thinking a lot more clearly than usual.” Steve said and (y/n) chuckles.

”Why do you think nobody could love you?” Steve asked her and (y/n) frowns then looks down. “Billy says…” she started to say and Steve scoffs and shakes his head. “Billy? The guy that’s gonna be a drunk and a lonely bastard in ten years, living in a trailer park? Since when does his opinion matter?” Steve asked her and (y/n) laughs alittle. “You’re a great girl, (y/n). Any guy would be lucky to have you.” Steve assures her and he places his right hand on her right knee.

The two stare at each other and smile as (y/n) places a hand over his. “I want to kiss you but…I’d probably taste like vomit and blood.” Steve said and (y/n) giggles. “So do I but I wouldn’t mind. This day has already been shitty.” (Y/n) said and Steve smiles at her. (Y/n) gives a shy smile then they look at each other before they start to, slowly, lean towards each other. 

But before anything could happen, the door bursts open and the two look over to see Dustin, Erica and Robin enter the bathroom. “Okay, what the hell?!” Dustin exclaimed and Steve and (y/n) look at each other then start to laugh.

*(y/n)’s POV*

After recovering and waiting for the movie to end, Dustin slowly opens the bathroom door to look out and see crowds of people leaving the theater. “And...blend.” He said and we all walk out of the bathroom and join in the crowd. “Well, shit, that worked.” Erica said. “Course it worked. We just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes, and home sweet home, here we come.” Dustin said while Steve looked, fearful.

“Uh, Dustin?” Steve said. “What?” Dustin asked. “Yeah, we might not wanna go to your house.” Steve replied. “Why?” Dustin asked. “Well, I might've told them your full name.” Steve replied and Dustin looks at him in shock. “What is wrong with you?” He whispered-yelled at Steve. “Dude, I was drugged.” Steve replied, defensively.

”So?” Dustin said.

”So?” Steve said, disbelieving. “So, you resist. You tough it out. You tough it out like a man.” Dustin said. “Oh, yeah, it's easy for you to say.” Steve grumbled then I noticed some of the guards were out among the crowd, asking questions. “Guys?” I said as I point them out to the others and we all stop.

“Abort.” Dustin said just as one of the guards noticed us. “Abort. Abort.” Dustin said and we run the other direction. “Shit.” Robin, Steve and I muttered as we continued to run over to the escalators. “Okay. Come on, let's go, let's go.” Steve said and we get to the middle of the escalator and slide down to the lower part of the mall and hide.

We hid behind a counter in a food court and stayed still as best as we could. We could hear the guards talk amongst each other and walk around. The five of us were panting, my heart beating hard against my chest then I felt a hand reach over and grab my left hand. I glance over and see it was Steve as he held onto my hand and I go and squeeze it tight.

Suddenly, there was a loud car alarm going off and we hear the Russians talk in confusion until a second later we heard a loud crash. We slowly get up and see that one of the cars was flung at the guards. Then we look over to the other side and see Eleven, Mike, Max, Lucas, Will, Nancy and Jonathon in the upper floor and we smiled at them.

”You flung that thing like a Hot Wheel!” Dustin laughs as we run over to them as they make their way down stairs. Dustin hugs El while Max runs over to me. “Lucas?” Erica said, disbelieving, as Lucas walks up to her and Max and I hug. “You okay?” I asked Max. “Am I okay, what the hell happened to you?” She asked me once we break the hug and she gestures to my torn work outfit, which also had some blood on it. “Long story.” I said to her.

“What are you doing here?” Lucas asked Erica. “Ask them. It's their fault.” Erica said as she points towards us. “True, yeah. Totally true. It's absolutely our fault.” Steve said, sarcastically, as I go over to El and hug her. “Thank you, El.” I said as she hugs me back. 

“That's El?” Robin and Erica said and I look over at them then at Dustin. “You told them about her.” I asked him and he nods. “Holy shit, this is crazy!” Robin exclaimed as El and I break the hug. 

“I'm sorry, who are you?” Nancy asked Robin, confused. “I'm Robin. I work with Steve and (y/n).” Robin replied. “Yeah, her and I cracked the top secret code.” I said. “Yeah, which is how we found out about the Russians in the first place.” Steve said. “Russians? Wait, what Russians?” Jonathon asked.

“The Russians!” Steve exclaimed. “Those were Russians?” Max asked as she points towards the knocked out guards. “Some of them.” Erica said. “What are you talking about?” Lucas asked. “Didn't you hear our code red?” Dustin asked. “Yeah. Couldn't understand what you were saying.” Mike tells him. “Damn low battery.” Dustin grumbles.

“How many times do I have to tell you with the low battery?” Steve asked Dustin. “Well, everything worked out, didn't it?” Dustin said. “Worked out? We almost died.” Erica said. “Yeah, but we didn't, did we?” Dustin asked. “It was pretty damn close.” I remarked. “Okay, Russians? As in, they're working for the Russian government?” Lucas asked. 

“What are you not comprehending? Am I not speaking English? We have a full-blown Red Dawn situation.” Dustin said, getting annoyed. “So this has nothing to do with the gate?” Max asked. “It has everything to do with the gate...” I said but then we heard something heavy drop and we look over to see El had collapsed on the floor some feet away.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.” Mike said and we all run over to her. “El! El!” Mike calls out as he moves her over to her back, her nose was bleeding from both nostrils. “What's wrong with her?” Erica asked as I kneel down on El’s right side and Mike is on her left side while everyone gathered around. 

“What's wrong?” Mike asked her. “My leg. My leg.” El cries and Jonathon goes to her left leg where I noticed she had a bloody bandage. “Her leg, her leg. Okay.” He said as he goes to unwrap it. “Get that off.” Nancy tells him and it reveals a large purple bulge on her leg and everyone exclaims in disgust. Then something was squirming in the bulge and El begins to whine and scream in pain.

“El! El! El! El, are you okay? El! El!” Mike exclaims, panicked, before El let’s out an ear piercing scream.

I'm not sure if this counts as a request for 'Shrimpy Chronicles', but do you have any headcanons regarding Coral and Pearl or the triplets (Poppy, Moss, Lumiro) as grown ups/teens? I can only imagine how some of them might be troublemakers like their Dad(s)

Bonus if Shrimp Yuu is wailing because her babies are growing up like: "Why would you leave me!?"

See I think it would be funnier if one of the Dads was wailing, the obvious answer would be Azul but like Floyd wailing and wrapping himself and his tail around his kiddos is a way funnier image to me.

I have a few ideas for the kids, part of me wants to make them just like Jade and Floyd, but realistically they wouldn't be the exact type of menaces their fathers were.

As teens, both of them are relatively straight forward and socialites. Compared to the (adult) twins, they're not fairly intimidating, so they're very easy to approach or be approached by. This is partially because they appear a lot more human thanks to Shrimpy Yuu's genetics. But it's also because the Leech family is lowkey training them for a...different part of the family business, one that requires them to be charismatic and to blend in with the crowd.

Unfortunately, that last one is a bit hard as, despite them being rather sociable, are also quick to gossip and even start fights if it entertains them. Coral especially likes to whisper into other's ears and make little 'suggestions' to people, rile them up so to speak, and watches in glee as she and Pearl bet on who will win the fight she causes. Pearl is just very curious (or impulsive), so she tends to get into all sorts of situations just to see what will happen if she touches that big red button that says 'DO NOT TOUCH'. Anything that happens after is totally not her fault! They shouldn't have made that button soooooo touchable!

Unlike Jade and Floyd, who enjoy personal space and doing their own thing (and even often fought as kids for annoying each other), Coral and Pearl are attached at the hip. If one likes one hobby, the other will find herself doing a similar, if not the same hobby just to hang around her. It's quite funny to see growing up, as neither particularly realizes it when one picks up drawing, the other does painting. One starts baking, the other starts cooking.

The funniest is when both try to do the same thing, but in each other's space. Once, Pearl took up reading horror novels and Coral started hovering over her shoulder to see what her sister was up to. After about 10 minutes, Coral as completely splayed over the top of the chair, cheek pressed against Pearl's as they both read the book together. They're very fond of each other, though they have their squabbles (usually over food, they both are gluttons).

The triplets I haven't thoughts as much about so I don't have much to share about them...ask again later lol

okay but dad!spencer taking paternity leave?! would that not be the cutest thing in the world?

the absolute cutest, i've got to expand

"I'm home!" You call out when you come through the front door, placing your bag on the side table and taking your shoes off.

Spencer comes down the hallway to meet you in the foyer, wrapping you in a hug. "Hi, honey. Missed you."

You grin before pulling back to quickly kiss him. "Missed you too, baby. And there's the actual baby." You coo, looking down the hallway at where she's making a fast crawl down across the hardwood floor.

She must have recognized your voice, probably sensed the excited tone in Spencer's voice, and came crawling.

You kneel down, reaching out for her. "My sweet girl, come here."

She crawls to you, using your legs to stabilize herself while she stands up. "Momma, up!"

"Maisie!" You cheer back, swooping her up into your arms. "You've been good for Daddy today?"

"You're always good for Daddy, aren't you?" Spencer says as he takes her little baby fingers and pretends to bite them. It makes her giggle in your arms at his playfulness. "You wanna show Momma our new trick?" He asks her, sounding more eager himself.

You love getting to see their new tricks, even if they're just Spencer pretending to chew at her fingers. "Okay, let's go."

"It needs extra equipment." He tells you, hyping it up with recognizable joy like whatever it is, is the most amazing thing in the world.

Maisie must realize what Spencer's rambling about because she starts babbling as you enter the living room. You notice the blocks on the floor, arranged in a tower that there's no way she could touch the top of.

"Come here, baby." He says, reaching out for Maisie. You hand her over, patiently waiting for their trick. He supports her with one hand on her stomach and the other on her legs like she's having tummy time. She appears to know her role in their rehearsed trick and holds out her arms in front of her with a mischievous look in her eyes.

Spencer pushes her forward and she puts all her force into knocking the tower over, blocks scattering over the rug.

Her laughter is instantaneous and so wild you'd believe it was the funniest thing in the world to her, and it's too contagious a sound for you not to also laugh. Spencer's laughing with you, clearly proud for inspiring such joy in her.

"That was amazing!" You say, clapping at her. "The best trick I've ever seen."

Spencer pulls her back upright, kissing her cheek to celebrate their victory. "I agree. That laugh is better than any magic trick of mine." He rests his forehead against hers while she puts her tiny baby palms on his cheeks. "You're just such a smart girl, aren't you?"

"So smart." You agree. "Just like her Daddy."

"I guess I am smart." Spencer shrugs, moving to sit down next to you with Maisie in his lap. "For marrying the most beautiful woman alive."

You grin at his compliment so he knows it's received, appreciated, and your next comment is just a joke. "And those three PhDs."

He chuckles. "Still, I think that being about to seal the deal with you is the most impressive."

You look around the room at the happy space you've created, where even the worst days don't feel too bad, and then back at him, the love of your life. "This is really the whole deal, isn't it?"

"It truly is."

random (soft) bad batch headcannons

a/n: a lot of these are based on the batch being neurodivergent!

• from oldest to youngest is 99, hunter, wrecker, crosshair, tech

• tech was bullied the most as a cadet since he was the smallest (and mouthiest)

• plus w/o his goggles he can't see well enough to fight back

• his brothers wouldn't let him go anywhere alone

• tech and crosshair have the same dry, sarcastic sense of humor and find each other the funniest batcher

• hunter and wrecker disagree

• if they're in a situation where they have separate rooms hunter always shares w/ crosshair (aka the quietest)

• wrecker and tech share since they don't mind each other's mess

• crosshair or wrecker is always the 1st to notice when hunter is overstimulated

• wrecker is the most emotionally intelligent

• the batch have a rule to never call wrecker dumb or stupid because he's actually really insecure about his intelligence (which is ridiculous, do u know how smart a demolitions expert is?? he's a himbo but he's not an idiot)

• tech prefers info dumping to crosshair cuz he's the best listener

• crosshair loves all his brothers the same but he has a soft spot for tech

• crosshair gets really mad at wrecker for interrupting/ignoring tech cuz it makes tech feel annoying

• then wrecker explains he doesn't cut him off cuz he finds tech annoying, he just has a short attention span

• wrecker likes to see the best in people and can be quite trusting, something that stresses out his protective brothers

• wrecker will physically carry tech away from his work bench if he's not sleeping

• crosshair is the only one who can lie to hunter and get away w/ it bc his heart rate doesn't change

• most of the boys can ignore shit talk but wrecker is somewhat sensitive, making his brothers very protective

• maker help you if you hurt wrecker's feelings

• crosshair and tech would always get hunter to comfort him so they could plot revenge

• losing eyesight is crosshairs worst fear, watching it happen to wrecker broke his heart (he definitely cried on his big brother's chest when they were alone)

• even if they try to hide it hunter can always hear when someone's crying

• hunter tries to stay strong for his batch 24/7 but if he needs comfort, he goes to wrecker

• big guy gives the BEST hugs

• since they were raised very isolated from regs they missed out on a lot of clone culture, they don't speak mando'a

• wrecker loves cuddles!

• hunter and tech have sensory issues so they don't always want to be touched but they usually don't mind it

• as long as it doesn't get in the way of tech's work he'll chill in pretty much any position so wrecker will just use him as a teddy bear

• tech: *reading in bed*

wrecker: *climbs into tech's bunk wordlessly, puts his head against his stomach and wraps around him*

tech: *doesn't stop reading as he pats wrecker's shoulder*

• crosshair is always cold so he doesn't actually mind cuddling but he pretends to hate it

• wrecker hates sparring with crosshair cuz he bites

• crosshair has an oral fixation and used to chew on his shirts w/o realizing it

• would get very embarassed/defensive if anyone brought it up

• tech made lula from scrap fabrics courtesy of 99 when wrecker kept having nightmares

• anytime hunter hears crosshair audibly laughing his stomach drops cuz that usually means someone got hurt (he's a physical comedy guy, what can i say?)

• the hardest crosshair has ever laughed is when wrecker, wearing rocket boots made by tech, flew into a wall

• cross and wrecker are the most playful but in different ways

Hazbin Hotel Episode 5-6 Hot Takes! ~

Lucifer doesn't really seem like a necessarily "good" dad or "bad" dad. He's definitely not the greatest at all but it really does suck that Charlie was pretty much isolated from him. Not completely his fault I'm sure.

I know it's obvious at this point that Lucifer & Alastor don't like each other...but you can definitely tell Alastor HATES him. His face was just stuck on stink the entire time.

To follow that up, I wonder why Alastor doesn't like Lucifer so much. Maybe it has to do with Lilith or Eve?

I like Lucifer's personality despite being the literal Devil he's actually very goofy. I don't think this was even a hot take. Lol.

Alastor saying fuck is the funniest thing in this show so far. It was actually gold. Bless him.

I hate that there was actual discourse surrounding episode 5 regarding Charlastor, and that people who hate the ship took the opportunity to either be pissed about their interactions, or celebrate that the ship is dead.

Hell's Greatest Dad was a nice song I really enjoyed it. Alastor and Lucifer sounded great.

A lot of people have already said this, but I think it's pretty obvious that Alastor was only trying to piss Lucifer off with the daughter comments. I don't think he actually sees him & Charlie as family.

Saying that Charlie can almost call Alastor Daddy was jaw dropping lol. I don't get how the ship is dead. It's definitely revived.

I fucking hate Mimzy. She's just an awful friend. She's literally that fake friend that only hits you up when you need something. I don't get how Alastor has been (hazbin) friends with her for so long. Christ.

I would've just thrown Mimzy to the Lone Sharks.

I wonder who "owns" Alastor? Most likely Lilith, that's what everybody has said. It could also possibly be Eve tho. He's definitely been working with someone.

Alastor's monster eldritch form kinda looks how a lot of us expected.

I don't get how Charlie is going to tell Lucifer, the first fallen angel EVER, and God's actual former favorite, what Heaven would say or think. He's already been there before. He knows how they work.

"More than Anything" was actually a pretty sweet song. It kinda hit close to home. Lucifer really sounded like the Angel he is.

Cherri & Sir Pentious are actually really cute. I kinda saw that one coming. Idk how they'd fuck tho. Ewwww.

Something is weird about Charlie not being on that list when they got to Heaven. Some people have speculated that she's in the wrong place. Hmmmm.

I don't really care for Sera or Emily. Idk I just don't. Sorry y'all.

"Welcome To Heaven" was such a weird gay ass song. 🤣 Why was that white ass twink priest practically moaning lmao...but the song was giving some type of backstreet boys or NSYNC.

I didn't think Lute or any of the exterminators actually had faces. That was a shock.

Even though it was already obvious to so many I was still gagged when the Vaggie Angel theory was finally confirmed. I love the way she met Charlie.

Not a hot take but I fucking hate Lute & Adam for doing Vaggie like that. She definitely didn't deserve it. All she did was spare one fucking child. They're evil.

The blackmailing Vaggie thing was very anticlimactic and dumb as fuck especially since they made Vaggie avoid being questioned. It would've been more interesting if Vaggie did what Adam said and spoke against Charlie at the meeting.

I've come to realize that Heaven is just shit and nobody knows what they're doing. The fact that they have a piece of shit like Adam up there and he himself doesn't know why he's there in the first place is very telling.

I don't think Cherri is a bad friend at all, but it was very off putting for her to constantly peer pressure Angel Dust when he's been trying to have a good streak. I get that she's a party animal and don't give a fuck but she could at least be mindful of her friend that's trying to stop their bad habits.

Angel being protective of Nifty when she was drunk was so cute. I'm happy he saved her from Val even if she didn't need it.

"You didn't know" was meh. It had some good parts I liked the overlapping of "Hell Is Forever" but thats really it.

I feel like Charlie is going to forgive Vaggie pretty quickly. I don't think this dramatic revelation of her past is going to cause that big of a rift in their relationship at all, especially with how quick they made up in episode 3.

[starrycassi]

I think a lot of young queers folks (like me. Not trying to be all elderly about this I'm literally a gen z) today need to watch the good oldies about our community.

⚠️: I don't mean, in any way shape or form to insult the newer queer shows/movies. I love SPOP. I love TOH. I read and loved Heart stopper. However, because of the restraint of mainstream media, they have a very... palatable?? way to portray the community. I am NOT blaming the creators (who I'm sure would love to go a bit further down on their portrayals if given the option)

SO! I have nice recommendations that I, personally, enjoy a lot. They're in no particular order.

A classic, for starters. But I'm a cheerleader!: Very campy, barbie-y, funny and free on YouTube. A cheerleader is sent to a conversation camp when her social circle realizes that she might be into girls. (It has a very unrealistic portrayal of conversation camps, though. Very cartoony) my comfort movie fr fr

Priscilla, queen of the desert: A trio of drag queens travel across the desert on a big, old bus. They fight, there's some falling in love. They talk a lot about gender identity, queer childhoods and similar topics. I've only been able to find this one (and most of the ones on this list, since I don't have any streaming devices) on illegal websites. There's very, very direct homophobia, SA, physical abuse, child neglect, yk, the American dream. The queens are the funnier thing ever, the romance plotlines are absolutely delightful and well-rounded. Focuses a bit more on the community itself and interpersonal relationships. All around, a solid 10/10.

Kinky boots: A very prude, engaged man inherits a shoe fabric. He's running out of ideas to stay in business, until he meets a drag queen. Same warnings (and themes!) as the last one. This one has a stronger focus on how the characters become more accepting and how our queen navigates being faced with them. I've rewatched it like a hundred times.

The birdcage (2000's) or le cauge aux folles (1970'): A gay couple runs a drag club. Their son brings home a conservative girlfriend and her family. This is more comedy lenient, but funny as fuck nonetheless.

Paris is burning: this one is a documentary, btw. Focuses on the life of drag queens in the 80's. Nothing I didn't already say on Priscilla tbh.

Saving face: A chinese-american girl that lives in a VERY conservatory and secluded community is trying (and failing) not to fall in love with a ballerina. At the same time, her mother (a widow, how scandalous!) gets mysteriously pregnant and gets kicked out of their family home. This one will hit close to home if you're from any ethnic, homophobic household. Cried a lot. Then cried some more. Happy ending, though!

D.E.B.S: THIS IS THE FUNNIEST, CUTEST MOVIE EVER. It's a full on romance comedy for when the mind is a bit too tired! The main plot is that, in a school of girls being trained to be top-notch spies (very totally spies type) a girl who's the top of her class falls in love with the biggest villainess they ever faced. More of a coming of age thing, that also explores the good old dilemma of choosing what the hell you're supposed to do with your life once you turn 18 (relatable tbh)

And now, for a book (in Spanish, though) we have "Las Malas": Narrated by a trans, poor prostitute. Extremely realistic in its narrative voice, cruel and very hurtful sometimes. This is actually one of my favorite books ever, it's so fucking underrated that I'm going to die if no one reads it. There's EVERYTHING. It genuinely drives me crazy to read this. We have queer moms, a child found in a freezing park, suicides, literally anything happens. I love it.

If anyone has any suggestions PLEASE drop them. I'm begging u

x. com/ln4norris/status/1785872795974652036 thoughts on this?

this is one of those instances where so many ppl have this wildly different take on smth and honestly myself and the moots I talk to didn't even… realize it could be taken any other way ??

I think part of this is also bc some ppl are pretty new to landoscar so I'll put more effort into replying to this than I normally would bc I genuinely didn't and still don't see this as being some dramatic thing that Lando said!

but for better reference, I've actually compiled the full clips from the person who posted them in their stories originally with two clips of Lando and Carlos separately saying how their F1 buddies are NOT the same as their actual private life friendships bc I think it helps contextualize what Lando is talking about here.

I think the funniest misinterpretation about this is ppl taking these Shared Activities as indicating deep and meaningful friendships and that therefore Lando doesn't have anything deep or meaningful with Oscar… just bc no padel or golf ?? lasjfgsjla

"we don't do as many things away from the circuit [as Lando does with other drivers like Carlos and Max]"

like. in what world is that him saying anything but … that ?? it's not deep ??

esp when it corroborates what Lando said in that clip about how his relationships with the drivers he’s friends with depend on shared activities and that they’re not his actual close friends the way Max F and all his buddies in London are (he even says in the video above that his friends are mostly in London not Monaco!) and Carlos corroborated the same thing!

so for one thing, the reason he's fine with saying this is because he doesn't see it as some huge thing that he doesn't happen to have with Oscar ?? bc it's not some deep meaningful thing that he hangs with other drivers sometimes outside of F1! they're buddies sure but they're not his private life friends. that's normal and healthy !!

but the other thing that's honestly funny is ppl deciding to misinterpret this as either Lando being a callous asshole to Oscar or again, taking rpf too seriously and thinking "yaayyy I can pretend Lando is secretly in love with/has a deep bond with/is fucking [insert driver here] and hates Oscar"

and like Carlos, Daniel and Lando literally have identical bromance formats with each other and other drivers which makes the whole rpf competition thing so hilariously dumb?? they all do the common hobbies thing, the playing gay for laughs thing, the posting every interaction to social media for fan engagement thing, the roughhousing physicality thing - all with at least 3-5 other drivers. and when you count up the like rpf ship points that these people use to say which one is "better" then m@xiel shits all the way on dand0 for bonding and being mutually invested and charl0s absolutely dunks on carland0 for gay physicality and mutual affection and norrib0n comes along and reminds ppl that Alex remains a hero to Lando and Lando still gets starry eyes over him in a way he never will for Carlos or Daniel etc etc etcccc

all of which still end up paling in comparison to the actual, deep relationships these guys have with their girlfriends and with their private life friends! the idea that Lando will ever love a male friend the way he does Max F is like going to a rakes lying down park and stamping around to get hit in the face repeatedly like why would you bother to be that stupid bffr

[sidenote that I am SO glad for Lando to say smth like this video if it drives those fans away from landoscar. no joke. we do NOT want them here and we do NOT want them treating Lily the way they treat Heidi and Rebecca and treated Luisa and Isa. please stay in carland0 and dand0 and whatever else with that l@rry stylins0n misogynistic, closeted gay men as a fetish shit]

the reality is that if Lando was just meh about Oscar and disinterested in spending any more time with him than he needed to then why would he even point this out ? why would he bother to point out - with even kind of an exasperated pout in his voice - that Oscar isn't interested in anything they can spend time together doing if he… doesn't want to spend time with Oscar anyway ??

exactly asfgsajgflagf

and for ppl who are new, literally the reason a lot of us are so Compelled is precisely bc Lando and Oscar don't follow the cookie cutter bromance format and their respect and interest in each other doesn't rely on common activities or playing into fan PR. they're literally the anti-PR partnership not bc they hate each other or have drama but bc every member of their team says how much they've bonded as drivers and that every time we get content of them together they're beaming at each other and seem to have all these cute little in-jokes and softness. but none of it is for show! none of it jumps off the screen or has them knowingly trying to bait fans!

their entire dynamic is for their own benefit alone and both of them have said how happy they are to have their future together settled for so many years. and the whole vibe of landoscar fandom is that we were all fine with the idea of them just being work friends! then Silverstone happened and the Austin filming happened etc etc. and now we're all watching it and writing fic and making gifs and edits bc landoscar is gentle and gradual and sweet and boyish and genuine.

it's been this gradual little dance between two guys who each have a unique preoccupation with each other but they don't do any of the usual blokey things to force a friendship. Lando's fixations on Oscar's name and his hair and how he's taller and bigger than him and the weirdly horny verbal burps that come out aren't something he does with any of his other driver friends. Oscar is so chilled about other drivers and doesn't even do the whole hero worship thing, yet his internet history about Lando is it's own extremely unique thing that has carried over as his teammate in a way he's never been about another driver.

they don't roughhouse or make fun of each other or push each other's buttons for fun and they don't even raise their voices around each other ?? everything is so gentle and not macho at all ! Lando strangely feels awkward and looks right at Oscar to explain why he diverted to visit Daniel with Martin as a spontaneous unplanned thing even though Oscar wasn't even in Australia anymore when that happened and Oscar didn't even feel like it needed to be explained! Oscar learns and adapts to what Lando feels sensitive about and needs some help with and sometimes even keeps an eye out for his physical well being.

and I think something that has kind of been missed entirely is that the context for the latest video was Lando saying how he's always been the youngest or least experienced in a driver friendship dynamic and - as he's said many times before! - he finds the idea of having to be the older experienced leader not at all comfortable!

which leads to smth a lot of us have always found the sweetest part of the 814 dynamic, the fact that Lando realized early on that he doesn't have to Try with Oscar and he can just exist in his feelings with Oscar and Oscar does not push and he does not get annoyed or weird or offended! and that means that Lando is yes, free to be the full range of bratty to sweetheart and everything in between bc Oscar will just smile at him and be patient. but !! it also means that unless Lando uses his words or takes charge, Oscar will remain in that quiet patient position in their dynamic and won't presume to take charge.

so Lando wishes Oscar would be the older one and take the initiative and now he's in a pickle where he's saying they only don't hang out bc Oscar won't share an interest with him and you can see for a second he knows what he's saying isn't true bc they all talked on a fan stage about a padel competition between Williams and McLaren and he remembers inviting Oscar out to golf at the last minute one time and that Oscar only declined bc he doesn't know how to play and didn't want to hold everyone up but ugh !!! like that is SUCH a Lando situation to get himself into and to somehow be mad at Oscar about <3<3

but ever since Oscar arrived with very little fanfare and decided not to draw too much attention to himself until literally recently, when the Alpine drama was finally firmly behind him, he's been so intent on showing his deference to Lando and even as lately as the place swap in Melbourne that he fully understands the driver dynamics within the team and respects it. and the thing is that Oscar genuinely is so happy to wait and see what Lando wants or needs that it would never remotely occur to him to push or insert himself into Lando's social life unless invited!

so yes, being a fan of landoscar is just like this! it'll never be the PR friendly bromance or the l@rry stylins0n conspiracy theory.

and yep weirdly enough for how so many ppl are taking it, this video for us is so sweet bc Lando's publicly muddling around about why won't Oscar do a mutual interest with him but also already having admitted that he's not good at taking the role that he needs to and pulling Oscar along into his social life the way Carlos, Daniel, Max etc have always done with him - all while Oscar is oblivious and doesn't think anything is even wrong ! and oh boy, Oscar being too literal and not being the type to be pushy ends up assuming he's doing the right thing by not trying to invite himself along to anything with Lando!

like, this is how it goes! if you want the whole bromance catering precisely to your ship needs OR you're hunting for huge drama and simmering resentments that turn into huge drama then this is NOT the place for you lasfgalfg

don't get me wrong I eat up the bromances and the doomed drama partnerships too but I just don't find them worth writing all these stupid posts about like I do w landoscar bc those partnerships are what you see is what you get. apparently what gets me going is The Yearning and The Miscommunication.

Toddler-scpades: Episode: Baileywhoops

So, full disclosure, this happened like a week ago, and I kind of forgot it happened until I was talking about it with @shychick-52 who kindly asked how my family was.

But, this may have been one of the funniest things that ever happened to me, so far, in parenthood.

So, let me start by saying that any time there are two adult people next to each other, and one of them looks vaguely to completely unhinged and the other one is normal, the nutcase is me and the other one is my spouse.

Exhibit Jekyll and Hyde 1931 Movie Poster:

Squish saw this on my tumblr dash once and squeals, full volume, at this poster a few months ago "DADA!!! AMMA!!!!"

After Spouse Unit and I stop laughing our butts off, we tried to ask Squish to point to which of these two characters we were.

When Squish recovered from the shock of their parents giggling like children, (Dada) was identified as Jekyll, and I (Amma) am, apparently, Hyde.

It also bears stating that my spouse consistently wears glasses with a blue shiny rim and has kind of sandy blondish hair. And, I am the proud owner of a very accurate Cedric cosplay.

My child knows this. I am often asked to wear said cosplay to act out the show. I was also asked by my almost three year old to attend playgroup tea in said cosplay while they wore their Sofia dress this weekend ... which I did, I'm not a monster.

Were there any other masc nonbinary parents at this tea party? No.

Were all the moms present dressed like "normal" people in their Sunday best? Yes.

Did I look crazy? Yes.

Did we have a blast, is Squish still talking about it, and asking to see the photos? Yes.

Does that make me happy to an irrational degree?

... I'm not answering that. Yes.

What does this all have to do with Baileywhoops you ask?

Great question.

I'll tell you.

From the moment Greylock appears on screen, my child looks at this character, points, and him and shouts: "DADA!"

And, I realize, within a millisecond, *exactly* where this is going.

Squish takes one look at the neurotic, disorganized, nutter standing next to him, and goes "AMMA!"

And, I'm like ... "Mmm hmm ... yup. Sure ..."

Squish proceeds to spend the *entire time* these two characters are on screen together shouting "AMMA! DADA!" at the screen.

Then, when the episode is over, they turn to me and ask: "More Dada ep'sodes?"

I reply, as gently as I'm able, "Nope. That's the only one he's in really. He's kind of in Day of the Sorcerers, but he doesn't really talk much in it, love."

Squish looks at me with all of the betrayal of someone who has been in multiple fandoms for 20 years. "Want more Dada 'sodes."

And, I turn to them, completely deadpan, and reply to my two and a half year old, saying: "You. And the entire fandom."

My, almost, three year old has now decided (and declared) that "Dada need costume."

So, per the request of my toddler, Spouse Unit is getting a Greylock costume to match my cosplay because in the immortal words of Squish "Dada need costume."

So, if Disney wants to know what the kids really want, more Greylock. The toddlers want more Greylock ... or as my kid would say ... more "Dada."

I hope this has made you laugh as hard as it made me laugh when Squish went down for a nap that afternoon because I just about died.

Also, if you want to know something that's even MORE in character, and funny, we managed to ship the sweater vest for the costume to one of our past addresses. We are still trying to figure out how to get it back.

Perhaps, this one of the more accurate Amma & Dada duos Squish has decided on.

I promise I don't make this up. The two of us are just actually this disorganized and chaotic.

Also, yes, my kid does talk somewhere between fairly complex 3 word sentences and simple complete ones at not yet three.

Verbal skills are a place where they're pretty advanced. But, I talk irl the same way I write online. So, vocabulary isn't exactly something Squish is wanting for.

Now, ask them to throw things and ... you probably shouldn't. You might lose an eye because they can't aim for beans.

[shotanzz]

hii can u do sohee as bf?

SOHEE AS YOUR BF based on astrology ~

reminder: this is for fun and astrology is smth I study for a hobby, these are all inferences based off of observations and not exact fact unless I knew him myself !!

Scorpio Sun: The stereotype that scorpios suns are secretive is so played out they're just technically shy imo im sorry LMFAOOO. Once a scorpio fully trusts you or has something they genuinely want to tell you they just keep GOING. And the same probably applies to him especially since his Mercury is in Sag. In the beginning he might seem hard to crack or not one to spare many details but once he's sure of you and you two are officially together and solidified oh he's a plain open book. Ofc he's not gonna pour every aspect of his heart out but being secretive really won't be an issue. He has an aspect of sun and uranus so he won't really act in ways that aren't true to him, his freedom, or expression so he'd practice authenticity even within the relationship so you better be in it for the real him !!

Libra Moon: Similar to Wonbin he'd be pretty considerate and would weigh pros and cons before doing anything to ensure fairness. His chart makes up of placements centered around truth, fairness and morals so ngl being equal+in balance is something he'd want for the relationship. Sometimes there's a tendency for Libra moons to end up complacent or non argumentative to keep the peace but I think it wouldn't be as severe considering his sag placements. Rather than being complacent he'd be pretty passive, he'd be willing to engage in trivial debates and significant convos but wouldn't break his neck to prove his point or show that he's right unless it was absolutely necessary. His moon is sextile his venus so emotional balance is crucial so he'd avoid constant disturbances in the relationship so you two remain in harmony; downside he might become TOO passive and too invested in harmony to where needed conflicts are dismissed or he doesn't express himself fully.

Sagittarius Mercury: So...blunt LMFAOO. Honestly Sohee probably says crazy stuff or is more sassy behind closed doors he has sm mercury aspects even some with pluto and mars. He might be conflicted sometimes, has moments of being super blunt and even saying stuff without thinking and then his libra moon brings him back into peaceful mode and he's like "uuuhm my bad". Probably likes fake arguing or small debates. Makes fun of you most definitely but compared to Eunseok it'd be easy for him to apologize if he realized it was too far or hurt you. Instead of yelling he might talk pretty fast and "word vomit" whenever he's dealing with big emotions or anger (especially with his mercury square mars) and due to this he might go quiet during arguments (if they ever even happen) because he knows when dealing with his outbursts he could say the wrong thing or be hurtful when not meaning to. Likes to be playful and even a bit nonserious and childish in convos and tries to make things lighthearted.

Sagittarius Venus: Sigh omg a bestfriend and boyfriend in one quite LITERALLY. Sag Venus has a hard time settling down because they value their freedom and life path so much and they don't really get into -serious- relationships unless they're genuinely enamored with you and can see you fitting into their expanding life. So once he's with you and realizes he's actually in love with you and it's beyond just flirting and pining he's essentially all in. Freedom will be evident in the relationship and there may not be a super specific power dynamic laid out outside of the cheesy "look at how my gf takes care of me.”. He wouldn't abandon his career for the relationship but wouldn't completely abandon the relationship as a whole either but just know there'd be an attempt to split both. He'd be loving and wouldn't be too restricting, flirts via jokes quite literally he would end up being the funniest man you know especially with that sag mercury on top. He values optimism and change and would implement that into the relationship as well.

Pisces Mars: His Sag Venus paired with his mars could show that he'd be ok with someone being the initiator or taking the lead but would still be ok with wanting your attention and doing things to get it (not in a toxic way ofc) . Like he'd want to impress you with unconventionally/casual romantic things or "best friend dates" that soon lead to more. Aw man he's probably a friends to lovers trope type of man like anton :((. Tbh him having a Sag Venus + Pisces Mars such a chill relationship like I said earlier it'd be just like dating your friend.
