#i’m so not used to seeing him in the back lmao

[sugar-petals]

every time i see him pop up on my dash i’m impressed by how taemin (who else) has debuted and effortlessly resonated in several generations of his genre and remains so bewitchingly relevant. yes i know manwhoring and the dark side of catholicism plus dissecting masculinity/femininty will never go out of fashion and he dances more compellingly than 99% of his peers and his looks never seem to change ever and he works his butt off but you know what i mean: 

an inexplicable longevity. without scandal, lack of sympathy from fans, missing the mark, error, mediocrity. all while provoking thought. taemin’s ultraglittering, seductive musical staying power slash a remarkably consistent message — how on earth does he vary his aesthetic but always manages to express HIS idea?— and drive to do what he does are mysteriously singular. and it’s not just his jesus-honoring buttshaking alright. to use the first gen benchmark, without slighting either of these artists: he is the legacy and work of BOA and Rain in one. seamless even after his difficult enlistment, taemin always keeps going and going and innovating and serving looks and performing and enchanting. 

i don’t mean that in a way of “tch why has taemin not fallen from grace yet?? he’s too goody-two-shoes to be true!�� or “this dude must be a cash-hungry slaving robot who uses sex to sell as a sleazy capitalist trick!!”. i just sincerely think he’s done so well, everything else would be unfair and inaccurate to say. enviably, taemin really found his own thing, that inspires. it’s no surprise how every shawol/taemin fan is just on fire (and every phobic tongue that rises against him shall be hilariously ridiculed without even bothering much: i like this idgaf attitude in the fandom, it resembles him a lot lol). can’t blame anybody, one hand movement by that cheeky guy, you’re hooked. 

i simply wanted to stress how taemin pulled off sticking around against the odds, being a charmed personality, and electrifying a multi-generational, multi-gender crowd and look damn sharp while doing it: even with a soft, sweet tenor voice such as his. we really have to thank jonghyun in all regards, whatever he has instilled in taemin was, and we all know that, zero percent in vain. it has given him a huge portion of that “X-factor” (or ‘T’-factor in this case lmao), in front of the camera that only the greats have, far beyond just doing ‘attempted personal branding aaand done, retired, forgotten’.

even if yes, that still contributes on the hard-to-ignore business side, SM knew how to do one thing right after all. we don’t know idols personally still, and taemin clearly found his perfect niche, giving the audience what other artists desperately cannot offer on that ‘market’, if you want to put it like that. but either way, he seems much more than the industry in a way? and MJ/Prince, for that matter, despite an obvious inspiration? like a feeling. or musing. really, how does he do it 😭

taemin’s success, fan-favorite status and concept ahead of the curve is so difficult to explain and that’s probably why people enjoy him and his work: it is curated, not calculated. i think there’s huge difference, even if the production process is the same or similar everywhere. but the way most idols are fascinated by taemin says it all basically, he’ll be talked about for decades after and always come back successfully, gaga-style. ngl taemin could never bore me (am i the only one who still positively loses it when he hits the pose? i never found it annoying, i love that shit) it’s so easy to like what he does. his enigma makes him an artist, and i hope he’ll be around for long to spread his cheeky little mischief.

TLDR; i just wanted to emphasize how awesome taemin is and got totally carried away.

[jlle-marie]

Aaah this is so cute, happy you like it 🥹💕 thank youu and sure, no pressure of course!!

I looove reading all of these!! like, i’m envisioning the whole thing now with all of our ideas and i love where this is going 🙂‍↕️

YESS he’s absolutely perfect and doesn’t see it how can he be so oblivious 😩 i imagine him being a bit jealous of himself lmao, he has a complicated relationship with his past self but he still wants the same attention you give to the captain 😣 goddd i want him so badly, stable or unstable, but he seriously can’t act like this and pretend he’s not even my friend 😤 the man holds himself back so muchhh i just know it’s gonna be good when he finally says fuck it and stops pushing us away 🤭

and you saying that actually makes me happy because i lowkey like angst and all… but NOT for Levi, I CAN’T this man is too precious, so i’m reassured lmaoo

Listen,,, Levi becoming a historical figure post-war…… I’m shaking…. I want to be a teenager learning about him at school…. (and suddenly I’m interested in history classes again) I want to fall in love with him through history books 🫠🫠

[persephoneflowerpetals]

i didnt watch nintendo direct but theres a disney villain cursed cafe game that looks like a modern au where you serve drinks to disney villains. it doesnt look like hades is there but if he was youd be too powerful

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I JUST WATCHED IT

OH MY GOOOOSSSSHHHH ANON I LOVE YOU BECAUSE I FORGOT THE NINTENDO DIRECT WAS TODAY EVEN THOUGH I LITERALLY READ YESTERDAY THAT IT WOULD STREAM TODAY 😂❤️🫶

I can’t. I simply can’t. IT’S AMAZING!!!! I had no idea Disney was releasing this!!! This looks so cute and fun! It’s like the Disney version of Coffee Talk (haven’t played that but I heard it’s a good game and I kinda wanna try it someday lol)!

A Disney villains modern au??!!! WHERE I’M A FREAKING BARISTA USING PLANTS AND STUFF TO MAKE TEA POTIONS?! (Don’t think I didn’t see that “NotMeForget” potion 😏 this game was made for a Persephone self insert lmao)

But yes, the only flaw of this game is that there’s no Hades 😭💔 Disney hates me in particular 😞 (I’m totally joking lmao)

I’m hoping, praying, and manifesting that they eventually add Hades and more characters to the game or make a dlc of some sort with Hades because I NEED him in this game!!! I NEED TO SEE A MODERN AU VERSION OF HADES AND SERVE HIM SOME FREAKING TEA POTION STUFF!!!!

THE POTENTIAL OF HAVING HADES IN A MODERN AU COFFEE SHOP GAME!!!! HE WOULD BE SO HOT LITERALLY AND ATTRACTIVELY!!!! DISNEY, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING NOT ADDING HIM TO THIS GAME??!! THEY EVEN HAVE VOICE LINES!!! I NEED TO HEAR HIM DEMANDING A DRINK FROM ME!!!!

No doubt Hades would be wearing some sort of businessman-esque outfit lol. Either that or he’d be wearing like a leather biker dude outfit, but Hades gives me business casual vibes all the way. And I’m telling you right now… I WILL GO FERAL if I see Hades wearing a business suit 😂💙😍🔥

I already LOVE all the modern outfits the villains wear! LOOK AT THESE FITS, YOU GUYS

Gaston lookin’ like he just came from the country club (also he’s manspreading which is very on brand for Gaston and peep Jafar in the back on his phone 😂):

Ursula, Maleficent, Yzma, Cruella, and The Evil Queen giving glamorous CEO girlboss vibes:

Hook just looks adorable lol look at that beanie:

And Jafar lookin’ fly with his freaking phone in his pocket probably listening to a podcast on how to become a powerful genie lmao:

But you’re so right anon, that’s why they didn’t put my man in there, the Disney developers knew I’d be too powerful if I saw a canon version of modern au Hades LMAO. I would reach maximum simp levels (omg imagine if this game were a dating simulator 😭💕 I’d lose my marbles). Joke’s on them though…now I got a Persephades coffee shop au 😏🩷💙

[lemotmo]

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Episode was honestly really good. I loved the Madney of it all. And the buddie of it all. And the Eddie of it all and the Eddie and Chris of it all.

We got to see Madney being the power couple they are all episode.

See Eddie struggling and doing what he needs to do for his kid.

Chris and Eddie stumbled this episode but the end paid off. I do feel like dropping us off weeks into them reconnecting was a bit of a misstep because it felt slightly off even with us being able to feel time passing in universe through out the episode. But that hug and I love you dad at the end was just 😭😭 you just know it made Eddie’s entire month right then and there.

The Diaz parents. Mostly Helena annoyed me so much. Ramon tried to comfort Eddie but he still allowed Helena to make her little comments and shit 😒 and in front of Chris no less.

The buddie of it all was once again front and center. The foreshadowing with the fire captain? How his last recruit ran off with his wife he loved because she got a promotion.

Eddie saying I’m single you don’t have to worry about me you’ll never regret hiring me. And then us very much seeing and hearing him and Buck acting like husbands the entire episode. And they were not subtle about it at all. Literally every time something happened we immediately saw Eddie face timing with Buck. The Bobby said he always has a job waiting for him. The couch theory of it all?? Hello?? I might need your couch? Buddie roommate era I see you coming. The I appreciate you Buck 😭.

Which also hello the Madney and Buddie parallels all episode long. Chim being Maddie’s safe space. Buck being Eddie’s. Maddie constantly turning to Chim when she was scared or frustrated or lost. Eddie constantly turning to Buck when he was scared or frustrated or lost. Like 10 out of 10. Well done 911.

And Buck and him actually discussing Chris and how to proceed like actual coparents? Again 10 out of 10.

And the color theories. They went sooo hard last night. The blue and yellow of it all. The red and Blue of it all.

The Eddie uber driver was honestly kinda hilarious lmao. He was such a weird dork the entire time and it’s like this is who Evan Buckley is waxing sonnets about in La ladies and gentlemen 😂😂 they truly deserve each other 😂😂😂

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts !

YES Nonny! I share so many thoughts with you! I agree on all of this!

I posted my own thoughts here. But there was so much that you mentioned that I agree with as well.

I do wish that we had seen more of the Chris and Eddie reunion. That is about the only thing I'm sad about in this episode. All the rest of it? Top tier storytelling.

The Madney / Buddie parallels were insane!

Buck and Eddie felt like husbands throughout the entire episode. It was perfection! 🤗

Since 12 already went hard with the Buddie of it all, I do wonder what they are going to show us in 13 to top it all. 🤔

The Eddie and Chris story has been resolved. So both of them might be thinking of going back to LA. Helena might object to that, so that could be a big part of next week's story. I wonder if they'll talk about the will at all and that will make Eddie think a bit more about Buck and his relationship with him. Hmmmm... so many questions and no answers.

We'll have to wait an entire week! AAAAH!

Crimson King stuff🩸👑

Yall this has taken me forever and I’m still not fully satisfied with it but I don’t see myself working on it any longer bc I wanna get to other things, plus I’m getting back into coloring so ik it looks different (prolly shouldn’t have taken a break from coloring oop) anyways this is just more of my Armin Crimson King AU with details and stuff.

At some point I thought I drew Armin’s eyes too “narrowed”(?)/tired bc for some reason he looked like Levi bc of the dark eye circles but I figured it’s just the tired look in his face that made him look like that and I thought it really got it across that Armin rly does not sleep in this.

I made some headcanons in my head that sometimes Armin and Ymir will sleep together bc the trauma and things they went through before they overthrew Marley was too much to handle and they find solace and comfort in each other. However I did not have space to actually draw that more clearly, only the little bit of them here all bloody and in cell (ik it doesn’t look like it but pretend they’re in a cell lmao). I rly tried to stay true to how armin looks like but his nose is so hard to draw ngl. I also planned on having the bruised armin be more skinny and malnourished looking but switched it out to have King Armin be that way a bit instead, I feel it makes more visual sense that he looks like he’s recovering from something bc it would make sense with context.

Btw I don’t think I ever mentioned it but Armin in this is a Tybur that Bert and Reiner bring back with them along with Ymir to the mainland. This is also why he is able to maintain his hold on the throne and have such consistent support for his and Reiner’s Rule. My earlier art has Armin with long hair but this is before he grows it out. I want to give the impression that Armin takes on a more “handsome” and masculine look in the early years of his reign before he starts to become more feminine looking overtime. Mainly to keep up with his image in the kingdom and appearances to intimidate neighboring countries. Though Reiner seems to have them covered in that department.

The relationships in this au are also very complicated and ambiguous bc I feel like that plays well into their psyche. Bert may or may not have developed something for Armin along the way. Armin may or may not be using Bert for his own reasons and twisted comfort he gets from his affections with the knowledge he has of their previous lives (will explain this later bc it will be part of the plot but won’t reveal too much bc there’s a solid plot point that is involved that instigates the whole story, but Armin is the only one that has any recollection of their lives. He sort of experiences a time regression?? Some of the other characters regain memories of their previous life as well but they’re not enough to piece together what they mean or what happened)

Ymir and Armin may or may not have shared a kiss or two in desperate moments. Reiner hates Armin and Armin hates Reiner but Reiner’s other personality adores him and Armin knows it so he exploits that about him. Very messy lol. Not a love triangle or a square but a squiggle? This story also heavily involves the warriors and Zeke but I haven’t gotten to that yet. I have an art that’s been cooking for a solid yr now for that😭

Other than that, Ymir and Armin are intially regarded as prisoners of war/spoils and are tortured for a solid year before their planned Coúp. They would’ve died if Armin did not have the knowledge of the main land and managed to convince the warriors and the Tybur family to turn against Marley. But yeah…..I’m a certified yapper.🗣️🗣️🗣️

[gilverrwrites]

Idk bout y'all but if I'm pregnant with any of the batfam's kid I'm moving back into the estate.

Idc how grown you think we are pookie I'm gonna be taken care of by Alfred

Make sure Bruce gets us set up nice in a little suite and don't be cute n' think we leavin once the spawn has exited

Oh no. We're staying until preschool age at LEAST cause I know damn well who's taking care of the brunt of childcare otherwise. Honestly this is the only way to maintain any kind of relationship with them during the rough early years

Also I think Brucie would be so low-key excited to have a grandbaby in the manor. All his kids came ready made so he never got the tiny years.

Anytime your partner comes home there's a 45% chance that the baby is hanging with Grandpa and he's gonna have to sort out his feelings about it cause we're not taking it away from him.

No but imagine Tim looking at us and expecting us to stay in that tiny ass houseboat or Jason wanting us to stay in his drugdealer apartment or even Dick cause I'm not dragging a stroller up all those stairs. Hell no 🫶

In summary Im ovulating

No way. We are very different people lmao, I wish I had your confidence.  Unless it was Bruce’s baby, my guilt riddled, authority pleasing, obliging ass could never. Doesn’t matter how much Bruce and Alfred try to stress that I owe them nothing, I’d be on edge constantly.

Running myself ragged trying to look after the baby, and minimise any possible reason for them to need to clean up after us, or be concerned, or offer money. Nope nope nope. The moment one of them is like ‘we know you’ve picked Sunny Days Daycare but I really think you should enrol them at Blossom Bright’ I’m gonna be like oh yeah, you’re right, we’ll totally do that even though I spent months researching and was 1100% certain of my choice.

Cannot live comfortably in somebody else’s home, not when all of my partners family members are constantly popping in and out, probably judging me for looking like a mess, no matter how justified the scruff is since I’m a new mother. Cannot have Breakfast with Bruce Wayne, who despite spending all night fighting crime looks like a million busk still, while I haven’t brushed my hair and my tits are leaking through my partners old shirt that hasn’t been washed in 3 weeks.

Contently whispering in Dick or Tim’s ear that they need to talk to Bruce or Alfred about the amount of guests Bruce brings back, or the strict schedule Alfred has everybody on because I cannot. No. I cannot talk to them, you have to do it. (I really don’t see Jay in the scenario. He’ll take the money, but fat chance is he moving back into the manor no matter how much you complain. He’ll buy a fucking mansion if that’s what you want, no way is he letting his family have a hand in raising his baby).

I know there would be lots of happy times, you’re right about Brucie getting soooooo attached to his grandbabies, and actually if you needed time to rest and recoup, Alfred would strap the kiddo to his back and spend all day chatting to them while he does his daily jobs. It would not be as bad as I’m making it out to be in my head, but by god would my mental health dip every other day.

Jason Todd Red Beanie appreciation post

[theloveinc]

Togame Jo’s greeting kisses to you are always way too long.

The kind of affection that’s usually savored in private, instead displayed wherever, whenever, and every single time you see each other—he always takes two to three minutes just to kiss you hello, abandoning the task at hand (dozing off, attending to Choji, managing the Shishitoren) to mosey your way and pull your lips to his in something just a little too sloppy to be sweet, but a little too sweet to be… too distasteful.

Everyone’s used to it by now, even Sakura, knowing that when you arrive, there’s always a going to be a pause in action just for the sappy display of Togame drooping over you and announcing you to the crowd physically.

(What’s not readily exposed, however, and especially not in a room full of men, is that it’s not just a kiss Togame’s giving you, not just a hello that he hides behind his long bangs and your cheeks between his warm hands, but the kindest stare and sweetest little whisper, “missed you, baby,” as he wraps you up in his arms.)
