Ayy! Could you write some headcannons with Miranda and Donna (separately dug) who has an s/o who carved wood and makes instruments out of said wood? Thank yaaa!!

I know- nothing about wood carving even though I want to learn but I watched like- one video so I hope it's good! I only have seen people carve things from wood with like a chainsaw and uhh knife SO-! please tell me if I made any mistakes!!

Warning(s): injury mentions-! But nothing graphic

Summary: what the request says ♡

Donna and Mother Miranda(SEPARATE!) With woodcarving S/O: headcanons

Donna Beneviento-

• when she first found out about what you do she was excited! Doll making is similar to wood carving in a way right?

• not really- once she sat down beside you and both of you did what you do she realized- it's not that different but not similar in the way she originally thought

• watching you cut into the wood wearing some gloves as you angled the blade to peel the bark into the shape you wanted

• she wanted to try! She can make dolls so maybe! She can make wood stuff

• spoiler- she can't. Like at all- she tried to make a flower but it turned out like a melted butter on some plate. Angie 'cried' laughing at her before 'crying' to be let out of the cabinet

• overall Donna is super supportive of what you do and every gift you give her she places all over the house! She even loves the mini instruments you crafted for her dolls- when she first say them she cried

• out of love!

~~~~♤~~~~

Mother Miranda-

• she doesn't understand it really- she tries to- like she'll sit and watch you carve(for like a minute before she rushes to finish some work she 'forgot' to do)

• she's old give her a break- she's more interested in science and all that BUT THEN- you show her you made this little wood carving made up of her and her whole office AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC?

• then you like made some badass guitar out if one too and it ACTUALLY PLAYS??

• she's blown away- her wings Puff up she's so surprised and touched and just ??? Teach her so she can make you stuff too

• she's totally not gonna use it as a bird courting thing she does

• Once she sits down and tries to copy your moves but without gloves cause "I'm Mother Miranda. I do not need gloves such as that" cause she thinks she's careful enough to not get hurt

• she gets hurt the VERY FIRST time she attempts it. Like the first swipe. She just freezes in annoyance and just let's you take care of the cut on her

• remember safety first with everything even if your a something something centuries year old obsessed crow lover girl. Safety ♡

• she (un)successfully made this box for you- to store some of your instruments away safely(you don't tell her you already have that- she looks so proud of herself)

• Miranda will tell you and has even before when she just didn't understand a single thing you were doing- she's proud of what your doing

• you totally made her as a crow and made a joke and she made you sleep on the couch

I JUST FINISHED EPISODE EIGHT AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I

AM

NOT

OKAY

Y'all I teared up a lot but no tears have been shed yet lol. That's really because it hasn't sunk in yet xD.

Also, that's a lie, I finished the episode hours ago lol. I have since looked at hsmtmts posts and tiktoks, read a fanfic, and rewatched several scenes (mainly in the finale) xd. I was too in shock but I need to start this lol

First of all, I just- that was the perfect finale. Plenty of the show (looking at you season 2 /lh), satisfying ends for the couples (barely on Jetney but you know we take what we can get lol), amazing music, and everyone's staying together :'). I can't express how much this show means to me <3. I'll have a separate post where I'm SUPER sentimental, but right now I can have some too :'). Anyway, I loved the episode so so SO much <3333.

Nini - we missed you :'). You were the beginning, and you had an end that makes me tear up every time. I'm sure she's off doing the best of things - and hey, she asked Ricky to give them all their cards :')). I'm so proud of her, and so happy for her <33. You're the best, Nini :')) ❤️❤️😭🥰. I love her so much <3.

Emmy! She slayed as Taylor :'DD. And I'm just so happy she gets to continue to learn from Miss Jenn <333. And start to be an older sister as well, not just a younger one :'). She's going to be a leader in the drama department <3. And like Gina said, she's going to take over the world :'DD. I love her 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰.

Did Jet ever actually tell Kourtney xD. I don't know, but they seem to kinda have a Thing lol, so whatever <33 🥰. I'm proud of him either way :'D. And I'm so glad he's finally found a place where he's happy, where he has a family 😭😭😭❤️❤️🥰. He deserves it so much :'))). Also, he slayed as Chad :'DD! Anyway, yeah, I'm just really glad he's at East High now :')). And yeah, he could give Gina a run for money for intimidation x'D. I love him <3333.

BIG RED MIGHT HAVE A THING WITH ANTOINE???!?!!!?? HELLO?!?!!!? JUMPSCARE SHIP!!! BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY JUST T O T A L L Y WILD XDDD. Anyway, why was this man in curtain call lol??? I do not care, as he should be XDD. Also I'm glad he got to be the one to tell Seblos they deserved the trip - show there's not issues there :). Anyway! Still not over jow wild that Antoine reveal was xD. Mans isn't even French!! Anyway lol. Gina described Big Red perfectly - he loves people unconditionally :'). We've always seen that with Ricky, and it's just amazing <33. Like that scene with Ricky this episode (it demonstrates that but yes it as also amazing lol) 😭😭❤️🥰. That scene was so sweet :'DDD. LIKE THEY SAID I LOVE YOU TO EACH OTHER!!! I love them so much :')). Anyway, yeah, he was great <33. I love him 🥰🥰🥰❤️😭❤️❤️.

EJ GOT TO BE ON STAGE :'DDDD!!! WHOOOO 😭😭😭🥳🥳🥰❤️❤️❤️!!! I'm not okay :'D. He totally deserved that, and he did great :'D. Ayy he can have this next bit now!! He slayed playing Coach Bolton 🥰! :'DD Anyway, I'm so happy for him :'). Also Carlos calling him EJ with the pretty eyes was so correct actually xD. Unrelated lol but eh. ALSO THE FACT THAT EJ CARVED ASH AND MADDOX INTO THAT TREE TRUNK??!?!?? OH MY GOSH 😭😭❤️ XD. That is so iconic <3. And I loved his conversation with Miss Jenn - even if it hurt me to hear her tell him to call her Jenn 😭💔, it makes sense :'). He's an adult now <3. It's wild and it hurts me xd, but he is. Anyway, I think he gave some really great advice :')). AND AAAHHHHHHH Y'ALL OUR DREAMS CAME TRUE!!!! POSSIBLE EJ AS EAST HIGH DRAMA TEACHER REFERENCE!!! WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS :DDDD XDD!!! I love that for us LOL 🥰🥰🥰❤️. But seriously, I think he does at least become an assistant director in the future :'). And when Miss Jenn retires, he takes over <3333. I mean, it's even practically what Gina said about him x'd - he taught her about herself :'). I love him so much <333 😭❤️❤️❤️🥰.

Maddox being sad over Ashlyn is my personal death y'all 😭. Also the fact that they mutually confessed and then were just like "well, I guess the only option now is. . . to stay friends 😬😌😐👉👉" - you idiots xDD. And AAAHHHHHH MADISON SENDING THE BALLOONS FOR MADDOX TO GIVE TO ASHLYN 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️!!! OH MY GOSH I'M SO NOT OKAY <3333. Also I'm glad her and Madison are on good terms :')). ALSO THE HAND KISS!!! OH MY GOSH 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I love them <3333. Anyway, Maddox is just. Amazing :'). I'm so glad she was here this season <3. I love her :'DD ❤️❤️🥰🥰.

ASHLYN FINALLY KISSED MADDOX OH MY GOSH!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH :'DDDDD!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!! I'M NOT OKAY :DDDDD!!! They're so cute oh my gosh 😭😭😭❤️❤️. AND THE TREE TRUNK!!!!! AAAAHHHHHHHH OH MY GOSH ❤️😭😭😭❤️🥰. I'm not okay y'all <333. I love them so much :')). Also Ashlyn's reaction to Maddox leaving 😭😭😭💔❤️. I'm so glad she doesn't have to <3333 :')). I'm so happy for them :')) :'DD. Anyway :'). Ashlyn slayed playing Kelsi :'D! And what Gina said about her :'D - yeah :'). Ashlyn truly is the queen of changing her identity (I mean that in a good way lol), but also still being sure of her identity in between those times :')). I love her so much <333.

MR. MAZZARA AND MISS JENN ARE FINALLY TOGETHER :'DDDD!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳 WHOOOOOO!!!!! WHOOHOOO FINALLY :'DDDDD!!!!! My babeys 🥰🥰.

And about them separately lol, MR. MAZZARA GETS TO GO BACK TO NEW ZEALAND AND TRY AGAIN :'DDD!! I'm so happy for him :')). And while he slayed playing Coach Bolton, he slayed doing sound too :')). Also him being like "yeah I'm totally not doing so much right now" was great LOL. Honestly kind of a mood xD, though luckily that didn't happen to much to me on lights lol. Anyway, I'm just glad he was there supporting everyone and being amazing this episode :')). Always right there, helping them through it 😭😭❤️🥰. Also how he didn't HESITATE to rip up the letter lol xD. Iconic 😌. As always :'). I love him so much <3333.

MISS JENN'S STAYING!!!! WHOOOO :'DDD!!! She would've been amazing, but I'm so glad she's staying 😭❤️❤️. She's here for Emmy, and Jet and Maddox, and all of the Juniors who were OGs :')). And the second semester for the Seniors too!! She can keep being amazing for them <333 :'DD. Just like Gina said - she gets to be that mom for all of them, and teach them it's about creating something you love :') 😭😭😭❤️. And I just love that :'). She slayed playing Ms. Darbus :'DD. I love her so much <3333.

KOURTNEY AND MO!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH OH MY GOSH THE COMBO I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!!!! That talk was EXACTLY what Kourtney needed 😭😭😭❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰. Also AAHHHH Kourtney's talk with Jet :'DDD. It was so amazing and sweet 🥰🥰. And AAHHHHH she felt happy at Lewis :'DDD!!! And it came to her mind immediately :'))). I'm so happy for her and proud of her <333. She really is one of, if not the, bravest people in the show <333. What she's done is no easy feat, it's DIFFICULT, with anxiety and without, and again, I'm just so proud of her :'))). Her anxiety storyline means so much to me and I loved it 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️. And yeah - she is the best fashionista xD. She slayed playing Sharpay 🥰🥰🥰🥰 :DD!! I love her so much <3333 ❤️❤️❤️😭🥰.

RICKYYYY HE SAID IT!!! HE DID IT!!! HE SANG THE THING 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰 :'DDD!! HE TOLD GINA HE LOVES HER :'DDDDDD!!!! I'm so proud of him :')). And AAAHHHHH one last "Am I too late?" :')). As it should be <33. Also, his speech to all of the was just- 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️💔 I'm not okay. I know that feels. Theatre is just like :'). And it makes me so emotional but it's just so accurate, and wonderful <33. Also, he slayed playing Troy :'D. AND AAAHHH THE RUN AND THE GUITAR!! AND THAT SONG WAS BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I'm so glad he got the chance :')). And Y E S I'm glad Ricky was the one to suggest where they go :'D - one more season 1 parallel :'). And just, what Gina said about him <33. It's so beautiful in a Rina sense 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️, obviously, but it extends beyond that. He's been the one to welcome, and include, and encourage, since pretty much the beginning :')). And I love that so much <333. Anyway, his reaction to not getting to tell Gina he loved her before the press conference hurt 😭😭. And YESSS Gina's mom finally approving :'D. He doesn't need it, but I'm glad he got it <333. Also, again, his scene with Big Red was amazing <333. Besties since the beginning :')). And continuing on <33. And of course, I loved how he was practicing saying I love you more to people :')). I'm so happy for him <333. I love him so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰😭.

GINA'S FILMING THE MOVIE IN SALT LAKE!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :'DDDD!!! I'M SO GLAD :'DDD 🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!! ALSO OVOEANOCMPW THE HAT????!!?! OH MY GOSH GIRL 😭😭❤️ XD. She slayed playing Gabriella 🥰🥰🥰. And oh my gosh, her SPEECHES 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔🥰🥰. I've already talked about what she said to everyone, but they were just all so so SO amazing. And I've heard some of that stuff said like that at senior speeches before, so it's definitely accurate xdd. But seriously, it was so emotional 😭😭. I know the cast was obviously SUPER emotional as well xd, but nonetheless, the acting was amazing <333. Superb :')). Gina has come so far, and learned so much, and I am just so, so proud of her, and happy for her <333. And I'm so glad she's staying at East High :'DDD. AND getting to do the movie still :')!! And again, the love song was BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥰. And she slayed at that press conference lol. I love her so much <333.

Now, hey, I'm allowed to put Seblos last if I want to xDD. It's my finale post :')).

SEB'S DAD KNEW THE WHOLE TIME SLFKFHDKGS!!!! That's so amazing lol <333. Amazing as in it's funny and it's a good thing xD. But seriously that was so funny lol. I am disappointed we didn't get Seb on stage, like acting lol, but I'm glad he was there for curtain call :'DDD 🥰. Even if him and Big Red had no reason this-show-wise to be up there XDD. I'm just happy that he was :')). Also his run up to Carlos after talking about his dad and holding him was so cute 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️🥰 stop I'm not okay <333. And AAAHHHHHH they get to go on their trip 🥰🥰. And again, I loved that their wasn't any animosity towards Big Red :'). But seriously that moment was so cute 😭❤️❤️. And honestly I loved what Gina said about him, especially after the cheating plot this season. Because he really is an angel, he is like a dog in human form lol xD, and he still sees the world pretty pure :')) 🥰. And I just think it shows that even though he made mistakes, he still is and does those things. He's still Seb <3333 😭❤️❤️🥰. And I think that was really needed for all of us :')). Also he went OFF in the limo LOL xD. He really said "step aside" with that belt xD. He slayed, so hard <333 🥰🥰. I love him so much <3333 🥰🥰❤️❤️.

CARLOS HAPPY AGAIN IS MY REWARD FOR THE FIRST SIX EPISODES!!!! XDD!! It keeps randomly hitting me that this is the Last Season, that although luckily we got happy Seblos at the end this is genuinely the last we're gonna see of them and I just- oh gosh that hurts 😭😭😭❤️. But again, their moment after the show (and the ones during curtain call 😭!!!) was SO CUTE AND AMAZING 😭😭😭❤️. Carlos slayed playing Ryan :'DD 🥰🥰🥰❤️. And he really is so funny x'DDD. It also makes me so happy that Gina talked about being co-choreographers with him :')) - something that started way back in season 2, but honestly season 1 unofficially <333. They've always had dance as a connection, and I'm just so happy they have that in each other :')). And I believe something similar to "we just kept dancing" was said at the Quinceñero, which :')))) 😭😭😭😭❤️🥰❤️❤️❤️. That kills me <3. Their friendship just means so much to me :')) :'D <333. Anyway :')). I love how he was kinda the one to set Miss Jenn and Benjamin (he deserves for me to call him by his first name at least once LOL xD) up xDD :'D <33. Like, he was the one who brought up the plane tickets and stuff :')). I mean, they were already pretty close to becoming a thing, but he showed us the audience the official moment of it lol, so I'm grateful for that xD. But that it was him, the one who was by Miss Jenn's side from day one :'), and even used to be enemies with Mr. Mazzara? Was the reason, or at least was half the subject of that scene lol, we met Mr. Mazzara :'DD? Perfect <333. Full circle :')). But yeah <3. I love him so much :'DD <33 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰.

And a bit of specifically Seblos :'D. After everything they've been through this season, I'm so glad we got two episodes of them being adorable and mostly happy 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥰. I mean, we had to deal with the Seb's dad stuff, but it was pretty good (like easy wise ish I guess? Like not too bad) and they were adorable :'D. AND THEY GET TO GO ON THEIR TRIP 🥰🥰🥰!!! I'm so excited for them :'D. Especially after they lived it LOL. Anyway, their moments during curtain call were amazing <333. And LOL SLFKGHJS their kiss going viral xDD. As it should 😌😌. Slay for them lol xD. Also, them running out of the school together 😭❤️❤️. I'm pretty sure they're holding hands in the first shot <3333. Also I love the lines they sing in Born to Be Brave :')). And AAAHHHHHH THEM BEING THE FIRST ONES TO START SINGING BESIDES RINA DURING LOVE YOU FOREVER 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰. AKCIEHSODNWP I LOVE THEM SO MUCH <33333.

Now, group moments :'))). CONGRATS ON A GREAT SHOW EVERYONEEE!!!! YOU ALL SLAYED INCLUDING MY ENSEMBLE AND BACKGROUND CHARACTER LOVELIES :'DDDDD <3333. What a great last curtain call :')).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT RUN OUT TO GO SUPPORT GINA :'DDDDD!!! I LOVED IT SOOOO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!! IT WAS SO EPIC :'DDDD!!!!

And oh my gosh 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🥰. ALL OF THEM SINGING LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!! I!! AM!! NOT!! OKAY!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰 I LOVE ALL OF THEM FOREVER <333333!!!!! It was so beautiful, the song and the scene and both our together :'DD. And all of them coming forward- oh my gosh 😭😭😭❤️🥰.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE RUN OUT OF THE SCHOOL :'DDDD 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰!!!! Once again, an epic and iconic moment 😭😭😭😭❤️🥰. I love them all so much :'D.

Y'all it is the way I was screaming (saying but the emotion was screaming) "DENNY'S!! GO TO DENNY'S!!!!"

AND

THEY

DID!!!!!!!!!!!

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰 THAT WAS LITERALLY THE PERFECT ENDING 😭😭❤️❤️❤️💔🥰🥰🥰🥰 <333333 :'DDDD!!!!

And it wasn't just perfect as a nod to theatre kids, but it was a reference/parallel to Season 1, when Nini said: "Usually the theatre kids cry and then we go to Denny's." :'))). I love them all so much 😭😭❤️.

And don't even talk to me about Born to Be Brave :'DDD. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THE PERFECT SONG TO END THE SERIES ON :'DDDDD 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰 <333333!!

And y'all 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️💔💔🥰

FOR GOOD??!?!!!?!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that was just the cast, not the characters, and I just- it was so, so amazing 😭😭😭😭❤️💔🥰🥰. And goshdarnit it made me feel things xdd. As of this entire episode didn't have me as a wreck lol 🙄 xd xD. But seriously, it was SO GOOD, and it reminded me of the Beauty and The Beast announcement, as well as You Are The Music In Me from after Season 2 :'))). I just love this cast so freaking much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭💔💔🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.

The music this episode was P H E N O M E N A L!!!!! It was all SO amazing and all so emotional too 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️. The cast are all such wonderful singers and the songs are all so well put together and beautifully written :')). I am so grateful for all of the amazing music of this show <3333. Don't even talk to me about any of the songs this episode, I'm still not okay over them :')). Special shout out to For Good for being most likely from the cast :')). And being one last reference, as it relates to Miss Jenn's offer <3. The meta show gets one more meta moment :'))) <3333.

This episode was so amazing. It was, quite possibly, the perfect finale <333. Obviously, I have things I wish happened, in this episode and in the season and show as a whole. But it told the story. And it told it well :')). It gave these characters an immensely satisfying ending, and, more importantly in this case? A happy one :'). They deserved that <333. And we deserved to be shown that we can. Especially theatre kids <33 ❤️. And still, amongst all these emotions, they still managed to make this episode HILARIOUS :'DDD. I can't with them, this show is too good xD. I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH <33333 ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!!!!

It's been over 12 hours since I finished the episode. It's hit me a couple of times that this was it, but it hasn't truly sunk in yet xd. I don't know if it ever will lol. But, for this being it? It was an amazing way to go <333 ❤️.

This show means so much to me. I've been emotional and sentimental this whole time x'd, and as I've said, I'll make a separate post about this, but I have to say it here. I will never get over HSMTMTS. And frankly? I never want to :'). Thank you to everyone who made this show possible <333 - I am truly, truly grateful ❤️❤️❤️. Possibly more than you'll ever know :').

And thank you to this fandom. Whenever I think it's too crazy, or I'm not involved, you guys are there to remind me :'). Thanks for being my Wildcat family throughout all of this <3. It means so much to me ❤️.

What team?

Wildcats :').

What team?

Wildcats :'D.

Wildcats.

Getcha head in the game <3.

What an amazing season guys :')) <3 ❤️. I loved it :'D.

And that is the end of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series

I loved it <3

Bayverse と Transformers Prime をメインに、残りのシリーズおよびアメコミをまぜまぜ…　うーん、メチャOC！

曲のタイトル及びテーマは、TF の象徴的な台詞：

"One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall."

そして "the worst part is you used to be my family" の部分は、Bayverse: The Last Knight での

"We were BROTHERS once!" "Once…"

を思��出させますね。

また、Brian 先生による印象的な本映画の Theme は Prime や Bayverse Films の Theme もあわさった荘厳な Mix となっていて、うっとりしてしまう。

以下、ここで見かけた Brian 先生によるお話：

Anyone hear a good soundtrack lately? :D Hey everyone! Just wanted to say hello to all who have come here to listen to my new score which is OUR score. I am so proud of this movie, its very personal to me in ways people don't realize. Composing this score for this incredible movie saved me during a hard time in my life. This is so special for me. I read your comments here and was so incredibly moved. So thank you all for listening, caring, and experiencing. This project is also very special because it is the hand off to the most personal and ambitious project of my life: Are We Dreaming which is an entire universe containing its own mythology, characters, dimensions and a timeline that takes place over 152 trillion years of time. The song "If I Fall" that i wrote and sing in the end credits in only just the beginning. I have been developing for 5 years and is about to release already. A universe awaiting already, y'all just don't know what it is yet. And working on Transformers One was the perfect segue to that universe. Thank you all for making such beautiful comments. Brought a tear to my eye.

いやあ… ファンの方がもう大感謝っすよ…！

Brian 先生が Transformers に関わってくれて本当によかった…🥺

映画感想（ネタバレ含む）：

『トランスフォーマー ONE』、クッソ楽しかった。

自分的には、今作がトランスフォーマー映画史上最高の出来だと思う。

実は新しい映画を��るなんて知らなくて…

予告編の一部だけ X でチラッと見かけたけど、「新しい TF の映画か」なんて意識することすらなかった。

公開日の一週間後に、近隣のシアターで上映中という情報を知り、ろくにトレイラーも観ず、キャラデザも世界観も知らないまま飛び込み参戦。

初見の感想は「クソ楽しかった」、それだけ！

深夜を過ぎても興奮冷めやらぬ状態だった。

一回目の劇場鑑賞は仕事終わり、19時からで終わりが21時過ぎだったんだけど、もうノリノリで車に乗り込んで、「ワイの車はオートボットや」とか深夜テンションで思い込み IF I FALL を検索して爆音で流しながら帰宅しちゃった。

眠気と闘う同居人に対し、脳ﾀﾋで「クッソ楽しかった」「ジェットコースターに乗ってたみたい」しか言ってなかった。

それからというもの、仕事終わりに足しげく近隣の劇場へ通った。

ほんまは IMAX 4DX とか 3D も観に行きたかったが、知ったときには県内及び近隣県すべてで平日中に公開終了していた。泣いた。

しかし、この片田舎で、ちょうどいい時間帯にクソデカスクリーンで公開していてくれたのは、めちゃくちゃありがたかった。

そして、劇場へ行くたびに多々買った。

パンフレット、オプティマスのレリーフキーチェーン（デカい）、Tコグ（大）とブラインド販売の方の小コグ、クリアファイル、トランスフォームエコバッグ（かっこE）、ぶれいぶこまんだーおぷてぃますぷらいむ…

ブラインド販売のアクスタはオライオンとセンチネル。D16 は結局手に入れられずじまいでつらい。てかメガトロンの玩具なさすぎィ！！

雑談：

（メガオプに関しては言うことが多すぎるので後日まとめる）

違うよディー！！確かにオライオンは「再建を処刑から初めてはいけない」っつってるけど、センチネルを庇ったわけではないんだ。

オライオンが守りたかったのはディーの心なんだよ！！

オプティマスプライムへと進化したオライオンが、メガトロンへと進化したディーの銃をエナジーアックスで破壊することで、もう、最愛の友との FIST BUMP! はもうできないんだね、っていう…。

とにかく、終盤にかけてオライオン／オプティマスの表情が悲しいままだったのが本当につらい。TFP の司令官を思い出した。

スタスクとタイマン張った後の、オライオンと D16 が目を合わせようとしていたシーンもつらい。

三参謀を初めて観たときは、感激のあまりニヤケが止まらなかった。オプティマスがエナジーアックスを出してから、メガトロンに加勢しだすスタスク、ショック、音波好き。オプからショックの砲弾（？）を撃ち込まれるスス。

てかさすが『戦うために生まれてきた』生命体、バトルが華麗で圧巻。

あ。エリータ１が、両脇に両波を従えてカチコむシーンもほんと好き。「行くよ、目ん玉！（Winky）」

こういうの、また見たいね（切ない）

映画デビューを果たした蜘蛛姐が強すぎた。頭部ﾊﾟｶｰからの「ずっとお前を観ているぞ！」は、えぐかった。

アルファトライオン、純粋にかっこよかったよね… ビーストモード好きすぎる。仮死状態からあの戦いぶりだもんな。

生きのびて、オプティマスに助言を与えてやってほしかった。

ワンチネルは、無様な最期、最悪な『私刑』執行となってしまった。

それなのに、煌びやかな両の翼が折れて、機能停止したブーツジェットを引きずり無様に地を這う姿、「D16、ともにセイバートロンを導こう！」という哀れな命乞い、そして真っ二つにされて完全にスパークが停止したセンチネルを見て、ﾄﾞｷﾄﾞｷが止まらない自分がいた。

（なんの話？）

終盤、オプティマスに追放を告げられたメガトロンが、戦いのダメージもあって右足を少し引き摺りながら歩んでいたのだが、序盤のアイアコンレースのゴール直前を走る姿と対比して悲しくなった。

あの時は、オライオンが D を置き去りにせず、D はオライオンの手を借りてともにゴールへ走っていった。

今はメガトロンの隣にオライオンの姿もなく、メガトロン自身も、誰かを頼ることがなくなった。

…自分がもともと TF ファンだからかもしれないけど、生まれて初めて、リアタイで惚れ込めた映画かもしれん。

東に西に、過去のシリーズから多くの小ネタが詰めに詰め込まれていて、にやけが止まらん台詞もあれば、背景にも夢中になってしまって…　あと何回でも観に行ける。

Josh Cooley をはじめ、本作品に関わられた製作陣及び熱心なファンの方々、ありがとう。

印象に残った台詞：

D-16：俺が信じるロボットはただ一人… →ずっとオライオンって言いたかったんだろうな、と思い込んでいたが、"If I fall" のリリック読んでたら "himself" が答えなのかなあ？

いずれにせよ、答えがない演出も素敵やん

オライオン：崖から落ちたような気分（うろ覚え） →うーんこの伝統芸

オライオン：アイアコンの再建は、処刑から始めてはいけない。 →処刑から始まった歴史もあるが、裁判も経ず、己の復讐心に身を焦がした末の公開処刑は、周囲の心理状況をも汚染し、歯止めが利かなくなっちゃうからね。まさしくセンチネルを真っ二つにした後に、アイアコンに破壊の限りをつくさんとしたメガトロンと親衛隊のように。

アルファトライオン：目覚めよ！───オプティマスプライム。 ARISE!! ───Optimus Prime.

メガトロン：我が！名は！メガトロン！ I. AM. MEGATRON!! →玄田ｳﾞｫｲｽでこれはアツい！ そして、このふたりの同時進化変形！鳥肌もの。

以下、落書きで〆：

ワンチネルの描きやすさ。TFA の優秀キャラデザ。

人生で最初に触れた TF シリーズが、コメリカで健全男児やってた時に観た『Transformers Animated (2007)』だったので、自分の中で「センチネル」といえばこのバカデカ顎。

オライオンとディーも描き殴りたい。

ディー難しいわん！（エリータ）

ああ、おえかきの意欲が年々減っていく…

YOU GOT ME DOWN ON MY KNEES, BEGGING PLEASE

pairing: Rafe Cameron x Topper’s sister!Reader

summary: There’s a game you and Rafe play – you flirt with boys and wait until he can no longer keep away from you, even if you’re keeping your thing a secret. It’s all fun and games until feelings get involved.

word count: 2.5k

warnings: underage drinking, drug use, mild cursing, mild smut

requests are open

Yet another party. When will Topper have enough of those?

  You sit in front of the vanity in your room, adding finishing touches to your makeup. The girl that stares back at you is fierce and seductive, with the cat-eye eyeliner threatening to cut a bitch. Your lipstick is red and so is your dress, which is as short as it gets without actually revealing anything. The plunge on your chest is deep, but still leaving things to imagination, teasing just enough to give you the attention you’re looking for.

  Outside, you hear teenagers screaming and laughing and chattering, and you start wondering when you stopped being one of them.

  You’re still a teenager, technically, but lousy parties don’t interest you anymore. There are other things that give you thrills nowadays.

  Once you’ve made sure the lock on your door is in place, you make your way to the poolside. There’s some people chilling inside the house, in the kitchen and the living room, and you smile at them. Most of them say hi to you, try to start up a conversation, but the Kook queen has other things on her mind.

  ‘Hey, sis,’ you hear Topper say once you’re at the terrace. He’s wearing just swimming shorts, like most of the boys, and he has an arm wrapped around his little girlfriend. ‘Nice of you to finally join the fun.’

  ‘Get lost, Topper.’

  ‘Yes, ma’am.’

  Topper salutes you and you roll your eyes at him, huffing. As you watch him walk away with Sarah, you think that perhaps you should take it a little easier on him – you’re the one Dad has appointed as the heir of the Thornton empire. If you were in Topper’s place, you’d be a lot more bitter than he is.

  At the pool, there’s a few people you recognise from your high school days. You walk over to them, pouring yourself a drink from an open wine bottle you find laying about. These people are not your friends, but you still smile when you see them, because they’re entertaining enough.

  ‘Y/N, you look amazing!’

  ‘Thanks.’

  ‘How’s college life treating you?’

  For some time, you make small talk, get some more drinks from them, but you don’t find it interesting. These people are not the people you would choose to surround yourself, but then again, your college friends aren’t exactly your type of people, either.

  Your type is the forbidden one.

  Speaking of, you glance at the watch on your wrist. He’s late, and you’re starting to get bored.

  Someone jumps into the pool. Someone pours alcohol over a person sitting close to you, and a fight almost erupts. ‘Calm down,’ you say, lazily, ‘or you’re getting kicked out.’

  The two boys look at you. Their hands are still at each other’s collar, faces enraged.

  You quirk an eyebrow. ‘Today?’

  They see you’re annoyed, and even if it’s not because of them, it’s enough to get them to walk away from the fight. Someone says ‘wow’, and they start talking to you again, but you’re starting to have enough of them.

  There’s noise coming from the terrace, where all the tables and the couches are, and you look over there – just in time to see the familiar tall blonde in preppy clothing take a seat, already preparing to do a line of coke.

  ‘I’ll see you guys later,’ you say.

  The walk to the terrace is slow; you take your time, eyes trained on the boy, despite the fact he hasn’t noticed you yet. You swing your hips, and flick your hair over your shoulder, lips settling into that comfortable smirk that you’re known for.

  He may not be looking, but others are, and that’s almost enough.

  Just as you step on the terrace, your heels clicking against the wooden floor, your eyes meet his. You see him look you up and down, take you in, swallow as his face tenses.

  The smile on your face turns coy.

  A boy approaches you. He’s tall and attractive, demeanour interesting enough for you to give him the time of the day. ‘Hey, Y/N. Who you looking so stunning for?’

  ‘Who knows,’ you reply. ‘Maybe I don’t know the lucky person yet.’

  You lean your back against the wall of your house and the boy puts an arm next to you, grinning as he’s won the lotto. Idiot. ‘Accepting applications, then?’

  ‘Depends on the applicants.’

  He leans even closer, and your eyes glance to his lips. He notices—just like you wanted it too–and then you turn your head away, making direct eye contact with the blonde from before.

  Rafe is still chatting to the people at the table, but you can tell he’s already having difficulties staying in place.

  Good.

  The boy offers to get you a drink and you wait for him, chatting to a group of girls that were a year below you in high school. You see them look at you in awe, taking in your every movement, wanting and wishing they could learn from you.

  Sorry, girls, you think. This is natural talent.

  He comes back with a cup filled with tasteless beer, and you smile as you drink it despite all you can think about is the rows upon rows of your mother’s finest wine collection in the basement. You could have a bottle of the best wine, yet you’re stuck here, drinking piss beer, because Rafe is taking his sweet time.

  You dismiss the boy with a promise to add him on Instagram. You keep leaning against the wall, and you push the hair behind your shoulders, revealing the bare skin.

  You don’t look at Rafe as you chat to another boy, but you can feel his eyes on you. You know exactly what he’s thinking about – his lips pressed against the skin on your shoulders, the sweet spot right behind your ear, your hair getting in the way as you are making out.

  ‘Any plans for tonight?’ Boy No. 2 asks.

  ‘Not yet.’

  ‘I have a couple of ideas.’

  He’s awfully close, and you’re starting to get annoyed at Rafe for taking so long, so you decide to up the risk. You do the glancing at the lips thing again, feeling the heat of Rafe’s gaze. You smile at the boy in front of you and your hand travels to his bicep, playing with the hem of his short sleeve.

  ‘Oh,’ you whisper, ‘I’d like to hear them.’

  ‘Or I could just show you.’

  He’s so close that you can feel his breath fanning your earlobe and it takes a lot not to shiver.

  You glance at where Rafe is sitting, and he is staring right at you, looking as if he’s about to combust; his hair is ruffled and one button on his polo shirt undone, fingers tapping against the table.

  Even from here, you see his eyes overcome with jealousy and possessiveness, and it only makes you smile at the boy, giggle a little, and say you’d like him to show you.

  ‘I need to talk to Y/N. Get lost.’

  ‘Hey, man—’

  ‘Was I asking?’

  The boy leaves, raising his hands in defeat, but he signals you to call him.

  You sigh and finally look at Rafe, crossing your arms at your chest. He’s standing in front of you, shielding you from anyone willing to shoot their shot with the Kook Queen, and his eyes are dark, lips dry. Seeing them like that makes you lick your own lips, and Rafe’s eyes are drawn to them immediately.

  ‘Stop it,’ he says.

  You give him an angelic smile. ‘Or what?’

  Rafe doesn’t say anything, but his chest is going up and down rapidly, and you know exactly what he’s thinking.

  You reach for his hand and put a small metal object on it. ‘Took you long enough.’

  He nods and leaves with the key to your room, and you wait a little before walking into the house after him. People say hi to you again, tell you even more how gorgeous you look, and you pretend to care. Instead of following Rafe, you go into the basement and grab one of the wine bottles your mother isn’t going to miss.

  Your room is quiet when you enter. You expect to find Rafe on your bed, but he isn’t there, so you just lock the door behind you and put the wine bottle on the night stand right next to your bed. The glasses are already there – waiting to be filled.

  You feel Rafe’s lips on your shoulders before you hear him. Your body reacts instinctively, as your head tilts to the side to expose the area.

  ‘Took you long enough,’ Rafe whispers against your skin.

  It’s enough to give you shivers.

  You close your eyes as he wraps his hands around you, pulling you close. He places kisses all over your shoulders, the travels up your neck and right behind your ear, all while playing with the hem of your dress, his fingers sliding over the upper area of your thighs.

  A sigh escapes your lips, wanting, but you collect yourself and push his hands away.

  He doesn’t protest when you take the wine bottle and fill up the glasses. You turn around and hand him one, and he takes it, sips on it.

  ‘Don’t leave me with them for so long the next time,’ you say. ‘I had to drink beer.’

  Rafe grins, because he knows how much you hate anything that isn’t high quality wine. He tucks your hair behind your ears and rests his hands on your neck, before kissing you softly on the cheek.

  The knowledge that he’s being soft with you, leaving you wanting, is killing you – but it’s the rules of the game. You make him want you by flirting with everyone until he can no longer resist you, and he makes you want him by being gentle and reserved until you need more.

  ‘I couldn’t come earlier,’ Rafe says, his lips brushing against the skin on your cheeks. ‘It would be too suspicious.’

  You take a sip of your wine, eyes still closed. ‘People are too drunk, too coked up to notice. We’re safe.’

  ‘Whatever you say, Y/N. It’s your rules.’

  The words try to sting, but you refuse to let them to. Instead, you open your eyes and put a finger beneath Rafe’s chin, turning his head to look at you. ‘You know it’s for the best.’

  ‘Whatever you say,’ he repeats, and his eyes fall to your lips.

  ‘If you stopped dealing and using—’

  Rafe takes a step back, and clenches his teeth. ‘You’d still not want to be seen with me. My reputation would uphold, remember?’

  ‘Rafe—’

  ‘It’s okay,’ he says, even though you can clearly see it isn’t. ‘I know you’re in it just for the sex. For the thrill.’

  You down the last of your wine and put away the glass. You feel the alcohol taking over you, bit by bit, and Rafe is starting to look irresistible. It shouldn’t be like this, but when he looks hurt, when he shows that he cares about you, it makes you wish things were different.

  ‘You know that’s not true, Rafe,’ you tell him. You step closer and cup his face, forcing him to look at you. ‘It’s nice and thrilling, what we do, but that’s not all. Please tell me you know that.’

  There are tears in his eyes and your heart aches. He bites his lip, looking as if he’s trying hard not to cry. ‘I wish I could be with you without hiding.’

  ‘Me, too.’

  His hands are back on your waist and he steps closer, until your bodies are pressed against one another. Your hands wrap around his neck and you’re hugging, which is a rarity for the two of you – neither of you like to feel emotions you can’t act upon, so it’s easier to keep things just physical and pretend that’s all.

  But it’s not. It hasn’t been, for a while.

  ‘I’m in love with you,’ you hear him say.

  ‘Don’t say that.’

  ‘Y/N—’

  ‘Rafe, please don’t say that.’

  You try to kiss him, but he pulls back and shakes his head. You’re worried – did you fuck it up? You can’t say it back, not when it would complicate things even further, even if it’s exactly how you feel—

  Rafe leans his forehead against yours. His hands are still at your waist, more chaste than they have ever been, and your hands get lost in his hair.

  You can’t say it. You can’t. There’s no returning from that.

  When you try to kiss him this time, it’s slow and gentle, and you realise that maybe that’s the Rafe that loves you, and not the one who’s here just because you’re hot. You’ve known him your whole life, and you know that he’d be someone you could see yourself waking every morning next to if it weren’t for his bad habits.

  His hands pull you closer and you arch your back into him, and the kiss deepens, gains the intensity you’re used to from Rafe’s kisses. But this time he’s even more possessive, even more intense, even more into you than ever before, and you let him be.

  Your red lipstick leaves mark all over his face and his lips leave little bruises all over your neck, shoulders, below your collarbone – his kisses worship you.

  You don’t talk as his hands slide down to your thighs and pull up your dress, and he presses you against the wall. You shuffle, just a little bit, enough for him to take off your dress completely. His shirt comes off next and his bare torso is pressed against yours, and the heat drives you crazy.

  He picks you up and throws you onto the bed, just the way he’s done so many times before. You would laugh if you weren’t so desperate, so wanting, and if he wasn’t the same. Instead, he climbs on top of you, but he pauses.

  He looks at you, deep into your eyes, and kisses you softly. It’s more tender than you ever imagined Rafe could be capable off.

  His lips travel from yours down to your neck, soft and brief.

  ‘I meant what I said,’ he whispers against your stomach. ‘I’m in love with you.’

  Moments later, even if you wanted to say anything, all thoughts escape your mind.

  Later, when you’re both undone, lying on your bed with your head against his chest and his fingers drawing circles across your back, you kiss him on the lips, softer than you ever imagined you could be capable of.

  With your lips against his skin, you say, ‘I love you, too.’

  There are very few things in your life that matter to you, and you decide Rafe is one of them.

Hey Cat!! I hope you're doing well as always ! 💖 AHHHH huhu I closed the form last Sunday since I've collected enough responses dy! (NOOOOOOOO ToT) I got a total of 221 responses at the end of the week, which is 3x the amount I initially needed! :o I'm beyond grateful and appreciative ToT I've cleaned the data and have proceeded to run some data analysis, but I ran into an issue whereby the scores on the subscales are equal (it has never been reported in past studies! :O) so I'm waiting for my supervisor's feedback on how to proceed. Hopefully it's nothing too serious ToT

Hehe finance is interesting indeed! I just started reading a book on finance for young adults (Rich Dad Poor Dad) and I look forward to learning more from the author's tips! The Coursera introductory course has also made financial terms a lil more familiar, even though it's just the basics and it's really helped w my financial literacy 🥺 I can push myself to study but it's also the numbers and calculations I'm worried of cuz I am rly a nong (idiot) when it comes to numbers * - * it runs in the genes I guess AHAHAHAHA my mom and sister aren't good at numbers either keke

Aww I'm glad yr professor made financial accounting enjoyable and a fruitful experience for you! Some lecturers / professors rly just have that spark in them to inspire ppl and I'm blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of em in the psych department!🥺😭 it truly makes a difference and I'm sure we both are living proofs of that!

After debating for a while, I've decided not to take a minor mainly because I'm so tired HAHAHAHAHAHA and I'll just do my own self-studying and exploration whilst working! Go out and explore the world, live life! Whilst ironically still staying in my room because of the COVID-19 situation in our country (cases are abt 20+k every day :') ) My proposal has been finalized and it's been accepted! It's just that some elements of my proposal is also part of my actual report, so I have some guidance to refer to in terms of structure! :3 and yes don't worry! I got plenty (sometimes a lil too much) rest during the sem break whilst remaining productive! Plus, I got to catch up w some friends and had game nights (maybe too much of game nights hehe) and movie nights w my friends which was truly refreshing! Also cuz I might not see a lot of them again after we graduate so we gotta cherish every moment 🥺😭

I'm a freelance graphic designer for my uni's newsletter! Occasionally, they'd ask us to create both the content and design! I'll place the link to my recent work below if you wanna check it out! UwU I'm trying to incorporate the same practices during sem break in my last sem (current sem) too! cuz yes mental health is so so important and I'm just tired of being academically tired you get me? :(

What makes me most trilled abt learning abt psychology is how to apply it in daily life too! I find it so fascinating and awestruck at how relatable and within reach these things are like wow we can be influenced in such ways?? :o can be both good and bad but imma stick w seeing it as the development and evolution of us humans UwU

Also, the vaccine has fixed my sleep schedule HEHE (another perk of getting vaccination :3) I got some rly good rest and managed to reset my usual sleeping time, thank you science ToT oooo I see I see, we've had cases of nurses injecting empty syringes hence the recording :( but GHIOGHWEOGIOHW I could never do that, I can feel the liquid entering me as it is so that's good enough ToT (* plays Love Talk * I can feel it coming)

OMG YOUR ART PIECES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, ADORABLE AND ELEGANT! 💖🥺🥰 it must've required a lot of hard-work and effort AHHH thankiew for showing me yr work!! it's truly unique in its own manner despite it's simplicity UwU is there a reason or backstory to yr chosen theme and objects? :3

I just Googled Somi Somi and omg that's such an UwU ice cream AHHHH 💖🥺😭 ice cream is my fav food of all time and it looks like an ice cream haven omg imagine eating it after a loooong hard day's of work ToT and OMG THE SATISFACTION OF EATING THAI MILK TEA ICE CREAM ON A HOT DAY YASSS 😋🤤 hehe if you get the chance to try milk & biscoff, do try it! It's amazing !😍 and ooo i haven't tried alcoholic ice cream before but I will one day!! :3 my alcohol tolerance is rly low though, will I get tipsy over alcoholic ice cream? We shall see UwU (i can only drink half a bottle of apple cider before my face gets red and I start getting a lil tipsy + headache)

and lovie....knowing yr school schedule now...OURS IS DEFINTELY BRUTAL OMG a 3 month long sem break huhu that's only the total amount of sem breaks we get in a year ToT i thought uni was hard but not that hard ToT

Always glad and honored to have you onboard! and AHAHAHAH the contractions about to start soon 👀 I enjoy talking to you huhu you're such a sweet and supportive person 💖🥺🥰😙 huhu for my period cramps, I've been having them since I was 12 ToT my doctor prescribed me some panadols but sometimes I can't even swallow them cuz I'd puke them out ToT I've settled w heatpacks to reduce my reliance on medicine, but I finally got some upgraded and safe to eat medicine from my gynae! She said it's fine to take it every month to keep my womb healthy and apparently my ms. lil uterus is suffering from inflammation, hence the super crazy bedridden cramps :( the upgraded medicine worked for a while, but after time it kinda didn't help either :/ but I realised that exercise rly does wonders to reduce the cramp too (gynae also recommended exercising) so i take walks and do my back stretches more frequently now! my period in the previous months (2 months ago) have been almost painless and bearable, it's so weird not seeing my bedridden ._. when I was in high school, there would always be a day in every month in which I don't attend classes, and that's solely because of my cramps. It just isn't worth suffering in school, plus we don't have a sick room :/ I hope the pain continues to subside! ToT

And ayy internship is also working experience, yr advice would be of great help to me regardless! 🥺 oh yes, I always remind myself that interviews are similar to the speaking test I took for my Cambridge English exams! That kinda help calm my nerves down a lil, but w nerves comes bigger smiles, so I guess it takes on a rather practical form of coping mechanism (sublimation) AHAHAHAHA

WAAAA WHAT A QUEEN you got an offer from every interview?? I aspire to be like you! 💖🥺🥰 huhu skill wise I believe I have lots to prepare esp in terms of case studies, and I perform rly poorly on certain assessments (*ehem * esp those concerning numbers) so I took the chance to study a lil during sem break too ToT but noted on that! I will work on that too and try to maintain that me element in interviews and overall just be myself keke

That's all from me for now! Imma wait for my supervisor's feedback and journey on w my last semester. Bon voyage!

hi hello honey bee !!! 💓 omg i'm so sorry for the belated response, i finally got on my laptop 😭 i'm gonna put my response under the cut since it got a little long 🤧

omg 221 responses !!!!! that's so many 🙀 congratulations aaaaa it's amazing that you were able to get 3x the data you needed !!! was it difficult to run data analysis? were you able to solve the issue with the equal scores on the subscales? i hope it didn't create too much additional work for you ):

omg yes finance is really interesting! i enjoyed the classes i took for it :') how is rich dad poor dad? did you learn a lot from it? i know it was a book my prof recommended, but i never got around to reading it 😶 did you learn any helpful tips? and ooo i'll have to look into coursera! yeah, there's quite a lot of terms for finance, and it can be a little intimidating paired with all the math formulas and such, but it's pretty useful imo! how are your financial studies going so far? 💕 omg nong is such a cute word?? i would never think it meant idiot asdkfhlkajsdf omg my whole family is good at numbers and really like math, but i didn't like it 😭 my mom made me study it a lot everyday though rip are the financial calculations getting easier for you as you practice more hopefully?

yessss omg i absolutely agree with this!!!! like you can just feel when a professor loves to teach and is genuinely so excited to talk about their subject, and it just makes the most boring horrible subject into something you learn to enjoy and hate less :') and i'm really happy to hear you have tons of professors like that in the psych department 🥺💗

that's great to hear!!!! 🌷🌷 i'm glad that you're prioritizing yourself and your health, which is so much more important than taking on a minor. what fun subjects have you decided to explore and self study so far? 💞 oh my gosh, the rising cases are so high?? i hope it's gotten better there for you ): are you able to go outside yet?

big congratulations on your proposal being finalized and accepted, lovebug !!!! 🥳🥳 i'm very proud of you and hoping one day i can read your published studies in a scientific journal :') aaaa i'm so glad to hear that you got to rest and enjoy your time with your friends!! i definitely feel that omg i regret all the times i skipped out on movie nights or game nights with my friends because now we're all scattered across the country and the only way we can have them again is over zoom calls 🤧

I SAW YOUR DESIGNS AND THEY'RE GORGEOUS OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH !!!! 💖 I'M IN AWE AAAA IF PSYCH DOESN'T WORK OUT, I HOPE YOU BECOME A GRAPHIC DESIGNER 🤩🤩💖 and yes i totally get it ): i really felt the academic burn out when i was in college and it was really difficult at times 🤧 but i hope it's going better for you nowadays, sweetpea 💝💝

omg yeah i absolutely agree !!!! whenever i read about psychology, i keep it in the back of my mind and then when i see something irl that relates to it, i'm like :O amazing. it's so cool to learn about different psych tricks too and see how it works when you test them out yourself and whatnot. and it's really crazy to see how the human brain is so easily influenced at times ??? it truly is an amazing subject !!!

ah what a great side benefit of the vaccine - a better sleep schedule 🤩 i'm happy to hear that your schedule has been fixed 💘 and omg what ??? they're injecting empty syringes wth ????? 😭 that's absolutely horrible, are they getting sued?? lmaooooo that love talk reference askdfhlaksjd

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR KIND COMPLIMENTS 😭😭💗💗 there were many late hours spent in the art studio to finish them, but i'm really happy with the end products :') i thought light bulbs are an interesting subject to do, and my prof said that cutting out circular objects or sculpting them is the most difficult since they're made up curves and not straight lines and i was like ok bet i'm gonna do it aND I'M SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THEM 🥺 and i love honey bees !!! that's why i decided to paint them and we were supposed to paint them in a combined style of two artists so i tried monet's impressionist style with the short brush strokes and pop art triptych style like marjorie strider 💕

somi somi is sooo good and i just had it again a couple weeks ago :') omg ice cream is your favorite food? :o and YES ice cream is so satisfying after a long day of hard work, like it's such a nice reward to look forward to at the end of day ✨ aaaaa i have to try thai milk tea ice cream one day now !!!!! it sounds amazing 🤩 and YES i must look for places that sell milk & biscoff ice cream !! i have milk ice cream from somi somi, but i need to try to combined flavors 💘 i don't think you'll get tipsy over it !!! it's a really faint taste of alcohol, like i didn't even notice it at first, and i don't think they put very much of it in there! aksljdfhals omg you're a lightweight :o at least that means you save money on alcohol LOL i need like nine shots to get drunk 🤧

your school is too hard 😭 you need more than just 3 months of break !!! 😡 we get a week off for thanksgiving in fall semester and a week off for spring break in spring semester too and then the month long winter break and three month summer break. and we have the one day holidays off too like labor day, memorial day, etc. i can't believe they give you so little time off after working so hard???

asdfhlkajshdlksja loool are the contractions over yet? has it been born? what's the current status, doctor? 👀 i really enjoy talking to you too !!! i'm very sorry for the late responses, work is really taking over all of my time, and i never have enough time to get on my laptop to reply to my asks 😭 and thank you for saying such kind things about me 🥺🥺💝 oh my gosh, i'm so sorry to hear that you have such terrible cramps 😭 i can't even imagine going through that - mine are nowhere near as horrible 😖 do the heatpads help a lot? i'm relieved to hear that you were prescribed better medication though! but yeah, your body does eventually get used to the medication and you have to continue taking stronger meds for it to work, but that's not a very healthy solution /: but i'm really glad to hear that exercise has been helping out a lot!! 💖 hurray for almost painless and bearable periods 🥳 i'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that in high school ): that sounds absolutely horrible 😭 periods are just awful, but it's like i'm grateful that i have my period because that means i'm not pregnant, but also please go away aslkhdfaklsj

omg what was the speaking test for the cambridge english exams like? :o it sounds so formal and a lil intimidating askdjfhalsd do you know of any psych tricks that can possibly help calm your nerves? :')

aaaa yes i did !! i was really surprised that i got an offer from them all because at the time, i was not in the right major and i think i was one of the most underqualified applicants 🤧 one person who interviewed me asked why i withdrew from my engr physics class and i explained it in a kinda funny way but in my head, i was like "oof i'm not gonna get this offer anymore" but then he laughed at my response and told me about how his prof told him he should drop a guitar class he was taking because he was doing very poorly and we bonded over that aklsjdhfkals omg how do interviews for psych jobs go? do you have to discuss a lot of case studies? do they give you a list of possible case studies they'll ask about? :o what sort of assessments do you have to do? good luck on all of your interviews, honey bee 💛 i'm rooting for you, you're gonna do amazing !!!! 💘

omg what did your supervisor say about your case study? and how is your last semester going? are you almost done now? 🌸 (also how have you been? what have you been up to? thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed messages for me, i'm really excited to see all the fun updates in your life, lovebug 🌷🌷)

Hello ABM P1 🪄🎓

This is officially the end of our SHS life. I would like to say THANK YOU! for letting me be your class president for the whole grade 11 & 12. I actually didn’t expect it because I was expecting maybe ate Driana or Andrea will be our class president since they both already knew a lot of our classmates like ate Curtnie, Jericho, Amer & other BED alumni.

Thank You for letting me experienced something I never experience before which is to be the class president and Thank You for the bond that you guys already have (BED alumni). Even if there’s no ABM 11 P1 you still have the bond with you and that bond makes the connection and communication easier for all of us in the past 2 academic school years.

As time goes by, you all make me feel belonged to this section and I feel more confident and not shy anymore. Thank You for sharing your SHS life with me ;) and being with me especially when we all make adjustments in a unfamiliar scenarios like online classes. First time doing quizzes, exams, assignments, projects, recitations etc. in online setting. First time using google meet, zoom, canvas. We have shared so many “first times” in the past school years and that makes me think that I’m not the only one who’s experiencing a hard time making adjustments on online classes because we all do.

To Lee (Bravo), girl what’s poppin? JK. Thank You for always being there for me since when we’re in grade 11. You’re my fav. classmate (I hope you know & kinda obvious). I like you since you’re very honest and never influence me to do bad things in online classes. I looked up to you because you are a fast learner and very friendly not just to me but also to Ronald, ate Driana and many more. Thanks for all the moments and memories we had from the first time we chatted each other, to the endless voice messages and unending calls while doing our assignment and tasks. Thank You for ALL of your understanding, help and support to me even though sometimes I’m not a good friend to you :/ . You did very well as the Class Secretary and that’s for sure. Thank You for taking the attendance every day and in every subject :). I love every second when we're together because I feel very comfortable when I'm with you. Thank you for being with me when I needed it the most especially when we buy for offertory, when we go to process some documents, and for helping me in carrying the offertory to the church. There’s a lot of times that I forgot that I’m the class president but you always reminded me that I am. You assisted me to do this and to do that. Thank You again and you deserve everything that you’ve accomplished. I hope we’re still friends after our shs life. I’m so proud of you and love you ;) .

.

To Cindy, you’re the most grateful classmate (for me) because you always says “Thank You” & “welcome” in everytime we had a conversation. I know we’re not super close to each other but I’m very comfortable when I’m communicating with you. I’m super grateful that you always makes me feel good when you call me “Pres” lol. You can call me as “Les” and that’s 100% just fine. I’m glad whenever I helped you in some ways because people like you deserved it so so much. Again, Thank You Cindybels ;)

.

To Ronald, ay kasali to? JK. Thank you for at least you make me feel good when you’re making jokes about me being a swiftie. I love everyone who loves Taylor Swift so I hope you do. I like it better when you call me “Lester” or “Les” not “Pres” HAHAHA sorry. Thank you for being a cool classmate and for pushing me to attend the walwalan last June 16 (I love that experience but I’m kind of shy). Don’t just listen to All Too Well because it’s too long but rather listen to “Style” by Taylor because the song fits very well on you ✨ (you never go out of style) ✧*. Thank you sa pagdamay sa'kin sa pagkuha ng ibat-ibang requirements. Hindi ko na alam sunod na mangyayari doon pero goodluck sa'tin. Ayy mas bet ko palang sa huli ako naka pwesto 'pag nag lalakad hehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHA alam mo 'yan SAREH. Congrats because we will both end our shs life with honors. I saw a lot of potentials in you & I’m so proud of you, always ;)

DABEST KA IVAN !!!!

.

To OLFU BED Alumni, you are the foundation of our section. Your bond, connection and memories with each other makes the ABM P1 better and one of a kind. You all make my role as president easier (really) so THANK YOU guys for that.

To all of my classmates, I’m very sorry for a lot of times that I didn’t do my job well as your Pres. and for all the time that I make you feel bad. I’m not the best class pres. (I know) but I’m always trying. Sorry as well if we met face to face but I didn't say hi or wave at you in the first place. My eyes sucks and I can't see your facial reactions when you look at me, I don't even know if you're looking at me huhu. 👁️ 💧

Thank You for all the advisers that we had especially to Prof MC na s'ya ata pinaka close nating adviser? I mean pinaka malapit sating ABM P1 diba? Yes or Oo? Kasi hindi siguro naglalayo yung age gap natin kay Prof. kaya medyo smooth lang yung 2nd semester ng grade 12 natin & nakikisabay pa si Prof. sa biruan n'yo / natin. Kilala din pala si Prof. ng ibang galing sa OLFU BED like Andrea kaya madaming students sa section natin ang kilala ni Prof. We know Prof. MC wants the best for our section and I’m super grateful for that. I also commend Mam Rialyn, Mam Manuel, and Mam Kris because they’re all a good advisers to us in different ways.

.

Chat n'yo lang ako if need n'yo ng help and sa tingin n'yo is makakatulong ako kahit onti. I hope na maging successful tayo sa mga ganap natin sa life after grade 12. Love you guys 💗 (pls maniwala kayo huhu baka sabihin n'yo eme eh)

Congrats guys & hoping na lahat tayo ay ga-graduate. See you all sa Araneta.

With or without Honors, I know we all had to work hard just to get through senior year. More of your difficulties are unknown to anyone other than yourself. I'm so proud of you guys, and I hope you're proud of yourself as well.

Sorry if this sounds dramatic, but it’s just sad that I feel like the few moments we saw each other were the start of the classes, but it also felt like the end.

.

Thank you for walking alongside me on my SHS journey. I may not be the best class pres, and our section may not be the best, but I am confident that we are not the worst.

What a journey ABM P1.

Signing off as your Class President. 🪄🎓

-Lester Otero ✨✨✨

Ayy! Yeah, 400 is amazing, especially if you're still in the middle of exam hell! IMO, any words are better than no words (except when when it comes to myself, obvs XD), so you're doing so well <3

I'm really proud of you for taking up writing again, even more so in the midst of torture-week. I'm glad the first one is coming to an end, and I'm sending good vibes that the last few exams will be an ace in the hole for you (which I'm sure they will, because all my mutes are super clever, very pretty, and can do anything they dream of ;) )

Helllooooooo, how are you feeling about nano? Is it going well?

I just have not been able to get that barista photo for you because it keeps slipping my mind but SoonTM!

Hi Juney 💮

My dear, I am tired.

It's gone pretty well, I'm just past 30k. I know I shouldn't complain, but it's not a patch on the speed I know I can do. I've just been unfathomably exhausted all week. I'm going to blame the change in weather 😅 I promise I have been practising self-care though.

I have, however, pretty much finished my story; I'm just fiddling with some skipped bits in the middle. The overall word count for this fic is looking to be 165,000 which I'm pretty happy with.

Not looking forward to trying to edit that all though 😅

And there's no worries and no rush for the Baristas' photo. Whenever is fine, I'm just happy that you're still willing to do it 🧡

But how about you? Did you start doing anything for Nano in the end? How are you doing?

[noodledesk]

hi jinae! - congratulations on your lovely following ❤️ you seriously deserve this and many more, your blog is amazing and i love seeing you on my dash each day. recently, i took the bac de français, the bac de sciences, and my french oral. i haven't gotten my marks yet (july 11th is my reckoning); but it was a national exam and i'm extremely proud of myself for succeeding in a language that isn't my own. it was the first time i took one of those tests without having a minor panic attack!

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

It'll be interesting to see how this progresses

Ooh promo time

Okay okay robberiesss cool cool

Oh hey I was just saying how I missed Josh :D

OOP it's Maddie o.o :O

I mean obviously we know she didn't but STILL

Anyway yeah ayy call center-centered (lol) episodeee

So yeah! That was the last of my final thoughts, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

I really enjoyed this episode! It was great. It was a bit calmer than the previous ones lol, but I'm okay with that xD. And I am so glad Buck's not entering somebody's open marriage XD.

Now, some quick individuals!

Maddie: iconic. Girl 😭😭, she went through so much this episode with the reminders of her past, and she still pulled through and really helped Claribelle and her mom :')). I'm so proud of and happy for her <33. Also, seems like she and Chim are looking for a nanny! Chilling :). Oh, and while it was hilarious, I'm glad Chim's okay from being kidnapped by the drunk driver lol xD :D. Anyway, looks like, however, Maddie will continue going through it 😭 xD.

Buck! Even though it would've been a great bi awakening, I am SO GLAD it's not an open marriage situation like we were all thinking it was XD. Thank goodness! Not that there's anything wrong with it, but just. . . yk. Buck xD. And also Buddie lol. I'm not too sure on his decision on the sperm donation, but if he's made it, good for him :)). It'll be a wild ride lol.

Eddie and Chris! I love their little parenting moments/plots :DD. I feel like this was a really important step in their relationship, an important thing to say about parenting, and a really great example of Eddie being a cycle-breaker :)). Good for him <333. And, I'm go glad they worked things out. Yeah, in short, I love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

BATHENA. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰. That is all.

Oh and also DOG :DDDD 🐕. I will love Hoover with my entire life <333

(Lol they were adorable and amazing as always. And it looks like Athena will be involved in the drama next week! Fun fun)

Hen! I'm SO HAPPY that she's getting another chance :D. I don't want her to leave, obviously :(, but girl was so stressed out of her mind, and now she's losing it XD. But instead of from too much to do, it's by going stir-crazy from too LITTLE to do xD. Ahh, anyway, I love her, and those little moments with Buck were cut :)).

Also, not just related to Hen, I will never get over that kitchen/dining room scene at the station with them all XDD. Amazing, lol. Top tier cinema XDD.

Overall, I loved this episode! It was a little bit slower, a nice change of pace, not that I didn't like what we've had so far. It's just nice to switch it up a bit :). Anyway, I really enjoyed it, everyone's individual parts were great, the calls were super good, and it was honestly just really nice to see my children again :). I needed to relax and they offered the perfect opportunity. Also, a fun theme with the slight touch on parenting all around! Heavier in some storylines than others, but nice :). But yeah! Amazing episode :D.

This was a great episode! It was good all around and had some really enjoyable moments. I'm excited to see what the next one has in store. This has been my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 4: Animal Instincts

What a good episode! I think the next one's gonna be super wild, though. I'm looking forward to it! I'll be back next week for my review of. . .

9-1-1, Season 6, Episode 5: Home Invasion

See you guys then!
