#iconic behaviour already hes incredible

[honibumii]

Skully does really be getting into the nrc vibe aka terrible boykisser faculty bc why tf is he kissing everyone first thing after glancing at them for a minute

[mrs-monaghan]

My ask is! What is your fav trait or habits or like one thing which is particular to jikook which u adore or makes ur heart all mushy? It could be a moment or like particulr thing .

For me it is the way JK takes care of JM. In one run episode he puts the socks on JM. It was a simple gesture but damn that one moment made my heart melt, jimin sitting cutely like a baby while jk put on the socks . I repeatedly watched that clip, it is one of my fav jikook moments.

Thanks for this question anon. Here is something that makes me all mushy. This behaviour from JK makes me believe we have lost him and he ain't never coming back to us. He's too far gone... fr.

Jeon Jungkook is a man whipped.

Exhibit a) BTS at Atomix. It's a good restaurant, right? And I'm sure they had fun. Ate good food and what not? We know JK loves to eat, so I'm sure it was a good time. But when the infamous tkk photo was brought up months later JK only remembers that day because Jimin said "I'm sorry"

Umm... okay. Moving on.

Exhibit b) Run BTS episode 10. It was a continuation of several episodes where they rode on ATVs, did a bunch of shit, among them, bungee jumping and we know how much JK loves that. But his favourite thing about all of that when asked, JK said;

Again, what?

Exhibit c) When JK was asked what his most memorable thing about the Tokyo trip with Jimin was he says 😬😬😬

I mean....

For me this is the cringiest Jikook moment of all fucking time. I cannot watch this. I just can't. And if it comes up I watch with one eye closed because it's painful AF to witness. Especially members' reactions. Even they know JK is whipped. So Jikook go to Tokyo. Beautiful city, they moved around, they explored, even had fun on Halloween with Scream costumes and everything. They were there several days and even went to Disney where it looks like they had a blast. But this, this? Is JK's most memorable moment?! Are u kidding me? Unless "playing on his phone" is code for something else, this is whipped behaviour right there. And look how proud he is while recounting this. W.H.I.P.P.E.D i say!!

(Sidebar: JK is wearing Jimin's photocards as earrings. ☺)

Exhibit d) JK's reaction to Jimin sneezing.

That's it.

Exhibit e) JK reacting to Jimin slurping noodles

Tweet

He is adorable. Fr fr. But listen, Vhope DGAF but here JK is being endeared AF by Jimin's simple act of eating noodles. I mean... come on dude, really? I mean I get it, its Jimin. But really? 🤭

Exhibit f) JK's reaction to Jimin's pinky. The absolute cutest. He's so whipped y'all

Exhibit g) "You owned Run Bts"

First of all, JK sounds adorable when he says this. I just wanna put him in my pocket he's so cute 🥺 But also really? I mean okay. If someone held a gun to my head and told me to prove I was Army of course I will go "lagibolala!" It's one of the most iconic BTS quotes right up there with "party party yeah, niagara popo, listen boy, etcetera" But still... Jimin owned ALL of Run Bts because of this? Really JK? Tell us you're whipped without telling us you're whipped. I can't with this guy.

Exhibit h) One of my favourite JK moments of all time. When he was asking Jimin for pork. Gosh, how is this man so macho and yet so adorable at the same time??? Istg I could listen to this all day. Someone make it my ringtone already!

Anyway, the thing that is easily missed is the fact that Jhope who was next to JK offered his pork. But JK didn't want that one. Nope. He wanted the one from Jimin who was allllllllll the way on the other side

Exhibit i) Last but not least. I already brought this up but it deserves to be brought up again. BV season 4 members in New Zealand enjoying the beautiful view. They've never been there before. Its their first time. They're all in awe. Its amazing, incredible and they all pretty much "wow" the entire time. But JK, JK is like fuck the view. Staring at my boyfriend is all the view I need

The camera keeps panning out. And JK keeps staring. What did I say? JK my dude, you are

So yes, anon JK is a man in love and he makes me go all mushy when I see him get amused by the most mundane things as long as they're coming from Jimin.

A member will do one thing and JK won't care. Won't even notice sometimes. But as soon as Jimin does that same thing, suddenly its the funniest thing JK has ever seen. Or the cutest, or whatever. To JK, certain things are "meh" until Jimin does them. Then he absolutely loves it.

When I tell you Jungkook is a man in love, I mean it.

[jewishbarbies]

Hi, I wanted to post this as a reply, but replies are restricted, so I’m doing it here lol, but in regards to an anon you got talking about travis being a red flag, and his social circle consisting of violent men with tempers, one of which has already sexually assaulted someone, and how he could easily do that to taylor, I saw a tiktok the other day of a girl filming the crowd midway through an eras tour concert with the caption “imagine if women could feel as safe everywhere as they feel during a Taylor Swift concert” and just……

That may have been true once upon a time, like when she was with joe for example, but now that she’s with travis and associating herself with people like jackson mahomes (or whatever than POS’s name is), I feel like it’s going to slowly convince a lot of younger girls that a boyfriend with travis’s behaviour is ok, that a friend group with men like jackson mahomes is ok, that literal SA and violent outbursts (like travis displayed against his coach during the superbowl) are ok.

Women aren’t going to feel safe in taylor-adjacent places anymore, because Taylor is essentially showing them that this sort of behaviour is not only ok, but something to wish for in a boyfriend.

He’s a REAL man! He plays sports! He’s not violent, he’s just passionate! Those tweets of his? He was just being goofy! He didn’t mean it! “Just because his friend did something, that doesn’t mean HE’S like that!” (Spoiler alert, it does. I had an ex who was friends with a guy that was openly racist, and whilst my ex never said anything super obviously racist, he also never called out his friends racism, even when my jaw was on the floor after some of the stuff he said). It sounds dramatic, but it’s a slippery slope.

Just look at how many young girls were essentially groomed to be groomed by all these teen drama shows featuring scandalous affairs between teachers and their students back in the 2010’s. Those relationships were shown to be something to aspire to, not for the danger they really were, and young fans dismissing travis and his friends behaviour just because Taylor is ok with it gives me the same vibes.

…

(Also I’m pretty sure the poor girl that died during one of the Brazil concerts didn’t feel “as safe as women feel during a taylor swift concert”, but hey, what do I know?)

one of the many reasons i hate pop feminism is exactly that - young women and girls are told by grown women that men like travis are acktually so great and wonderful and his relationship with taylor is the model relationship just because they like her/her music, and then these young women and girls will go on to try and actually emulate it. they're also straight up just told by taylor herself. what kind of icon and role model purposely dates an abusive man as publicly as possible, while hanging out with and supporting his friends who have sexually assaulted women? the dangerous culture swifties have disguised as feminism all to follow in their idol's footsteps is incredibly toxic and unsafe for women. she's no one a woman should be looking to for a healthy anything. i've seen firsthand what it looks like to date someone like travis or jackass mahomes. it's not romantic, it's not a fairytale, and it's not love.

Liveblogging real life part 2: Joel (it's been 12 13 days) (already watched)

Okay so maybe we'll do the liveblog-every-five-minutes-unless-something-crazy thing also idk if I should link this up to my intro post (idk how) or reblogged my og one with this oh well we'll figure it out why am I eating AGAIN doing this

I got inspired after rewatching secret life my beloved for the umpteenth time :P

Okay ep. 1/finale is hilarious and new "series" 😭

Joel why did you point out the cursor I can't take my eyes away

First batch

Joel jumping then immediately keeling over in nausea:

Idk how to respond to that but it struck a chord within me, how true

BigB wholesome waving but it also looks like his arm is BENT I can't get over VR arms man 😭

Punching BigB because he's so tall is so real tbh + love the smash cut to Gem being salty

Headpatting + baby-ish voice "little gem/Ren/skizz" what a gentleman makes me think of the try not to cry challenge or Jimmy's crazy christmas series where he says Joel is a crybaby and Gem says he's a romance guy in a mental gymnastics train of thought

Grian throwing his head back from the outside?! Cryptid behaviour

The real life vids don't make me motion sick but Joel making retching and vomiting sounds does NOT help it makes me sick by proxy or something I hate being disoriented and nauseous too buddy

There's probably a video out there of someone comparing regular mc to vr because vr just hits different like proportions wise

Joel noises

Love this Joel-Gem duo already idk how to describe it just fun

Also Joel having to process out loud he won't throw up on Gem I remember playing Richie's plank experience or whatever years and years ago shit was REAL

Joel's inventory becoming disorganized with things that can be stacked together :(

Hey what gem said kinda reminds me of what grian said :D at the end of his episode awful :DD

Poor Joel he's battling his height complex alongside his motion sickness (rip bozo poor little meow meow)

I think almost everybody had the problem of facing the wall dude, it's okay it's very silly

Water foreshadowing (he will swim with his future gang and become incredibly sick)

Geminislay that pig

Wait till Joel learns about lying down‼️‼️

JOEL STOP MAKING NAUSEOUS SOUNDS I'M GONNA FROW UP 👹

"...Falling in powdered snow" kinda reminds me of this short story I read in grade 9 English class "The Bamboo Trap" protag fell in The Bamboo Trap™ and got bitten by big ass spiders or something the idiot, also I think got published in the same anthology as the most dangerous game 👊

Joel admits to weakness

Weird ass snow, someone built this or something?

Joel with his arms out looks so silly, so does gem

Oh gem how graceful with the figure skating history 👊👊👊✌️👉✌️✌️🤜🤛🤛🤜🙏

Lol they learn about the wrist chat

Second batch

Jimmy, oh iconic Timmy

Shield (why did I write this again?)

Bi shoes, love seeing gem's skin wearing the bi shoes I forget about it every once in a while and when I see it again it's a pleasant surprise

Vr players learn to pvp

When you use the shield to block in first person it looks kinda stupid dude

Campsite vibes tbh, I really like it.

Bee spotted 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 what is it doing

Shaky controller cursor over top chest plate I feel you

Falling irl indeed (recursive mention about plank)

LOUD holy moly Joel is loud (not negative)

Healf being something people can't look at at all times is actually a kinda funny mechanic

Smajor friendship aww when will they team up (did I forget about a series)

The poor beg for bread, we live in a society ✊😔

Grian killing??? Since when??? (Sarcastic)

Batch three

Peace and love is why they haven't died yet 😘

Arms again! Weird looking things

Hand gesture reminds me of that one diamond scar short with etho's greedy "I want the diamond" voice

Flint and steel? Weird looking thing

Omg red club looks like bugs, the way the trio gossips about them ♥️

Right no out messages...

Can't believe the most motion sick man gets in the water not once but TWICE this ep

Does he know

Where did the horse thing come from

Can't remember if I mentioned this but when the sword swings without critting in VR it looks so silly it pokes

A bugs life: the sequel

Club: deadly euphemism

Sword 😐

Something about jimmy doesn't get burnt...

Why is Jimmy jiggles the only one with a wooden sword???

Strong words from a man on the verge of mania 👀

Lol knowing impulse breaks the ground under Joel big brain man going for the kill

Something about the disappointed way Joel says "scar!" And scar stabbing him in the first caused this

Tim is so British he says "get in" so much

Joel, again exasperated, cries out "where's all my stuff?!"

Funny Minecraft men, my favourite funny Minecraft men

My god seeing from Joel's perspective his second death is from zombie

I think Joel was about to saying bluming + the cover behind house + the constant begging for his stuff back + violence as an answer (he hits men)

4

Oh scar up to no good again

JOEL GETS IN THE WATER AGAIN!!! MOTION SICKNESS WIN!

Joel and scar just did mitosis stop being scared of biology 🙄

What was Mr solidaritygaming doing in that hill and said yes to did he finally get iron?

Aw the silly arm motion I love greeting people with spirit fingers reminds me of that

GOON SQUAD?! (neuron activated)

Famous moment

Oh more famous moment here comes the smallidarity kiss

Love Tim's body language once again the sharp smooth head turn to grian he's like a cartoon character

(what grian mean they are suited and booted he cut this part out I don't remember the other povs 😢)

Leave it to solidaritygaming himself to be the most homoerotic straight man there is of course + Joel is still patting him on the head? + Timsel being cringefail needing to jump multiple times on ONE BLOCK + Joel did NOT need to lean that much he looks like he's powered by springs + Jim's arms always being so tight together. Makes him. Look like. An old granny??? + Joel IMMEDIATELY checking his wrist afterwards like it's a Tuesday and he's on break + homophobic GRIAN + impulse's dad delivery one liner

The more I watch smallidarity kiss the more bizarre and asinine it becomes to me 😀

When did Joel learn to button jump (he WAS mental for jumping irl irl)

Okay Joel cut out that canary comment why don't you 🙄🙄🙄

WHACK 💀 SHAKE YOUR HANDS REAL FAST 💀💀 JOEL SCREAM #3997 💀💀💀

Fond of Joel's cadence of saying "hello guys!" And "I'm coming in boys!" And "HAHA!" oddly musical

Okay aaaaaaand he dies worst ranking ever good for him the end

Idk if I should liveblog scar next or watch Ren because I've already watched up to skizz + me 'ead 'urts oh well

[ladysomething]

MADDIE!!!!!! THAT HURT SO MUCH!!!!

I was actually speechless and a mess after finishing this chapter. Like actually for real my mouth was gaping like i was a fish but no sound was coming out, there were tears in my eyes, so I hope you're happy with what you've done. (We love the pain really)

Obviously we knew something of this kind was coming, we could feel it mounting and bubbling under the surface so it had to erupt at some point but it still really fucking hurt. And the worst part is there's still so many questions, so I, against all odds, hope that they can sit down and discuss those details in a calm and respectful manner.

Because my heart can't take much more. First of all, I wanted to grab Max by his delicious broad shoulders and shake him. Like bro you had one chance to confess your love and you fuck it up that badly???!!! He legit did not say one good thing about Charles that entire speech to reassure him or convince him. Good job Max.

But then Charles literally ripped his vulnerable heart to pieces???!! He went right for where it would hurt most. I was begging him not to do it but he just had to compare Max to his father! I can't imagine how much that hurt Max, and even though he's an idiot, I feel so sad for him. That man just needs to learn to communicate better instead of making everything worse.

At the same time I am well aware that this is necessary for the relationship even if it kills me now cause something had to give. And Charles was so right when he kept thinking that Max could not be feeling any kind of healthy love. I'm sure that buried somewhere is a sweet, pure, selfless love for Charles in Max, but I feel like it's become so tainted and toxic that even if he thinks he's in love with Charles now, he has just as much work to do for them to be worthy of each other.

I am so unbelievably excited to see how this recovers, even if there's still more tearing down to be done rip. As always, so grateful for the incredible work Mads, if you couldn't already tell from my rambling (so sorry), this chapter was another masterpiece!!!!

I am happy with what I've done, thanks for asking. 😊

also you taking the time to clarify Max's shoulders are "delicious" and "broad" while you reprimand him ..... iconic behaviour I fear.

but yeah for real, I know what Charles said was super shitty but like. Max really said "you have so many terrible qualities but I love you anyway" and then expected Charles to react well ..... like bro ......... what.

and then Charles came in and said "I can go WAY lower than that", and then he did. it was very cathartic for him, even if it was fucked up and he immediately regretted it.

and Max does also have a lot of work to do. he THINKS he's been meeting Charles in the middle, but he really, really hasn't. of course, neither has Charles - Charles has been happy always just assuming the worst and never digging deeper, even when he was given reason to.

but ... when they DO meet in the middle ..........

[the-casbah-way]

things i'm still trying to process two days after watching the first robbie the reindeer film:

blitzen and vixen canonically fuck offscreen following an unabashedly horny exchange where vixen says 'if only someone would stoke my fire' to which blitzen responds, in a voice so dripping with lust that the sheer memory of it rocks me to my core, 'it'd be rude not to', which would be a bizarre turn of events even if this wasn't a kids film, because these two have almost no interaction or chemistry before this scene. there are no feelings here, they're literally just horny and that's it. it doesn't impact the plot in any way, nor does it really crop up again later in the film. the director literally just wanted to let this audience of children know that blitzen fucks

after blitzen says he's going to fuck vixen, it INSTANTLY cuts to blitzen sprinting full speed up the stairs with vixen nowhere to be seen. i guess we're supposed to assume that she's already upstairs waiting for him, except in the scene where they were talking she's literally sprawled out across the sofa miles away from the staircase blitzen is standing beside, which just makes it look like blitzen drops this flirty line on her before immediately turning and running away which is incredibly funny to me

i also need to follow this up by saying that this borderline sex scene comes directly after blitzen walks in on robbie sobbing over a portrait of his dead father and then kicks him out of the reindeer lodge in the middle of the night during a snowstorm. the emotional juxtaposition here is so jarring and the fact that blitzen does this then immediately goes and gets laid is, dare i say, icon behaviour

for some reason there is a scene where the elves somehow attach robbie onto the end of a forklift truck and use his body to lift toys onto the sleigh. i still have no idea why or how this happened

blitzen literally uses performance enhancing drugs on screen and is later forced to do a breathalyzer test, after which santa disqualifies him from the reindeer games. again, this is a children's film

the old man reindeer proposes, completely out of nowhere, to the old man elf, in a scene that lasts approximately five seconds and is never addressed again. these two characters barely exchanged any dialogue before this proposal

there is a yeti who is best friends with a snowman, and when the snowman pisses him off he literally threatens him by saying 'don't make me bring out the space heater' and then slowly starts melting him to death. it's barely even played off as a funny gag, because the snowman seems genuinely terrified and is essentially begging for his life as he is forced to look down upon his own body turning to sludge beneath him

whilst robbie is in the middle of running the reindeer race, which is (as far as i can tell) supposed to be the entire Big Climax of the film, he becomes aware of the fact that the elderly reindeer has somehow become trapped under his own house(?) and just runs off the race track, picks the house up to free him, and then runs straight back again and continues racing like nothing happened. i have no fucking clue why this was included because it didn't change or add to the plot in any way shape or form

literally every fucking two seconds in this film something insane happens out of nowhere and then is almost immediately dealt with, and none of it has anything to do with what i assume is supposed to be the main storyline. in fact because the film is so short and tries to fit such a huge amount into that time, the main storyline is essentially lost beneath the array of batshit occurrences happening over the top of it, to the point where i don't think i could sum this film up in a sentence even if i wanted to

the girl reindeer have boobs. this isn't that crazy because i think by this point we're all used to overly sexy-fied female anthropomorphic creatures in kids films, but what really gets me about this is that the 'boobs' are just tiny little half-spheres stuck on top of models that are identical to those of the male characters. someone really looked at the male design and went 'how do we make it obvious that this is a woman' and that's what they decided on

[skyriderwednesday]

'giftsfromboswell reblogged your post', said the notification, and Watson smiled at Holmes sat across from him. "What do you think?" he asked, "Much me?" "You already have four pairs of boots that height," Holmes replied, "but yes, I think they'd suit you." "What were you doing with those flight dynamics of birds after I'd gone to bed last night?" Holmes shrugged, "They came across my feed, I found them of interest." "You reblogged them to main," he said. "Do they have anything to do with the case, do you think?" "I was thinking, Watson, Amesbury mentioned circling buzzards, but the winds in that area..." "Very high, weren't they? You'd think a gliding bird would get blown off course." "Like seagulls going backwards." Watson hummed, and scrolled a little way to tap the most recent appearance of shholmes221 on his dashboard, with the hand-drawn icon of a bee on a fingertip beside it. Below a bewildering handful of words relating to an early morning series of deductions, there was a GIF of a seagull gliding in flight and an explanation of the dynamics behind it. Under that, an analysis of the flight of red kites, and a sightings map of buzzards in Britain. "Amesbury wouldn't mistake the species he was looking at, would he?" "I don't believe so, he appears to be too accomplished a birdwatcher." Watson went back to the dash, and scrolled idly for a few moments. He chuckled. "Holmes, look at this." Holmes raised his phone. 'doctor-author-soldier-bi mentioned you in a post'. The corner of his lips twitched upward. "Corvids driving off a buzzard," he said. "The behaviour is called 'mobbing'." "Incredibly gutsy birds, crows," Watson mused, watching the video loop. "My uncle watched birds for years, he'd drive miles to spot red kites, and sea eagles, and things like that, and he'd follow the crows. Whenever the crows were upset, there was probably a predator nearby, and that usually meant some big bird of prey. It's funny though, buzzards and the like, they just don't care. It's too much effort to attack the crows back, so they just make themselves pests until the bigger bird flies off." A note. 'shholmes221 reblogged your post'. He looked up, Holmes was staring at him intensely, or rather through him. "Watson, that's it--" he said, and leapt to his feet. "Get your keys and the binoculars, we're going crow-spotting." "Do you... expect me to drive in my slippers?" "Put on your hiking boots." "There we go," Watson said, standing up. "Are you going in your dressing gown?" The consideration maybe took a little too long. "...no. I'll get dressed, you put on boots, get your keys and the binoculars, then we're going crow-spotting." "Good plan." Holmes quivered for a moment, then shoved his phone into his dressing gown pocket and darted into his bedroom. 'We're off again,' Watson posted, 'crows this time'. He went upstairs to put on his boots and find the binoculars.

THE TOXIC AVENGER Returns In an All-New Comic Book Series

Matt Bors, the founder of The Nib and a political cartoonist who has twice been named a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and acclaimed artist Fred Harper (Snelson) are collaborating on an all-new 5-issue comic book series, THE TOXIC AVENGER, starring the satirical superhero of the Troma Films cult classic films. Having already spawned five films, a cartoon, action figures, a musical, and a Marvel comic book series, the Toxic Avenger is a pop culture icon. He is also perfect for AHOY Comics, a Syracuse-based publisher dedicated to satirizing horror, space opera, social satire, sword & sorcery, and superhero stories. THE TOXIC AVENGER will debut this fall.

 “THE TOXIC AVENGER delivers what Troma fans want,” said AHOY Comics Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer. “The series has violent action, gross mutations, bursting pustules, eye-popping visuals, and trenchant humour.”

 “If there was ever a superhuman hero for these toxic, miserable times, Toxie is the one!” said Lloyd Kaufman. “Only AHOY Comics and Bors & Harper could pull this off...er...mop this up! Toxie and the Troma Team can’t wait ‘til you read -no, experience - the art and stories that the Toxic Avenger Comic Book will explode in your brain, your soul, and your heart. Above all, remember, Toxie loves you and so do I.”

“This series will combine elements of the original films with the Toxic Crusaders cartoon and characters in familiar ways, updated to tell a story of environmental devastation, corporate control, and social media mutation,” said Bors. “THE TOXIC AVENGER is first and foremost an environmental satire, one about a small town and its unremarkable people trapped and transformed by circumstances they don’t control. The story Fred Harper and I are telling is about people frustrated by authorities telling them not to worry about their life, that things are fine, even as their dog mutates in front of their eyes. And at its core it is about a powerless boy, Melvin, who finds out he can be incredibly strong, hideously mutated, well-admired, and incredibly heroic… but still ultimately powerless over human behaviour.”

 In THE TOXIC AVENGER, teenager Melvin Junko helps run his parent's junkyard in Tromaville, a small town in New Jersey where nothing much ever happens — until an ill-timed train derailment of toxic waste transforms Melvin into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength: the Toxic Avenger! Under a media blackout imposed by Biohazard Solutions (BS) and their PR-spewing Chairwoman Lindsay Flick, Melvin emerges as a hero fighting against BS and the mutated threats that keep popping up around Tromaville. Eventually, Melvin uncovers a vast conspiracy more far-reaching than he could have ever imagined — but he knows if everyone is simply made aware of the crisis, they’ll act to stop it. Right?

 The Toxic Avenger first appeared in the 1984 cult classic film about a mutated weakling mopping up a corporate mess, directed by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz and starring Mitchell Cohen. 

 TOXIC AVENGER is the second comic book series from Bors, following the release of JUSTICE WARRIORS, his critically acclaimed comic with artist Ben Clarkson which follows two police officers, Swamp Cop and Schitt, stationed in the world's first perfect city. 

 “In addition to the environmental and action satire at the forefront of this story, TOXIC AVENGER will skewer corporate PR, influencer culture, and the mainstreaming of conspiracy theories” added Bors. “It isn’t paranoia if they’re really out to pollute you!”

 TOXIC AVENGER #1 will land in stores on October 9, 2024.

Dust Watched: Boku no Hero Academia Season 6

Genres: Shounen // 25 episodes // S01 (x) | S02 (x) | S03 (x) | S04 (x) | S05 (x) | M01 (x) | M02 (x) | M03 (x)

AND we’re back, baby!

✧  story  ✧

After the incredibly tepid and almost entirely filler that was Season 5, we desperately needed something to kick us back into gear. That season ended setting up the events of the War Arc which Season 6 immediately jumps into without any hesitation.

The whole season keeps a quite fast pace with fewer filler arcs than usual. The first half of the season focuses on the beginning and first day of the War Arc. The heroes form a plan and attack the Meta Liberation Army from 2 different locations at the same time. While things seem to be going well, everything soon goes to shit and the battle culminates in 1 final location with all our biggest players present. 

After that whole shitshow, there’re a few uneventful but still important episodes mostly focusing on the past of certain characters. 

And the 2nd half of the show covers Deku’s rebellious phase as he decides to set out on his own.

I know that most people already know the events of the season from the manga but I’m keeping most of it as vague as possible for those who don’t because Oh My Gosh, this season absolutely slaps.

So many long awaited iconic scenes this season that BONES did 100% effort into. The pace is fast, there’s a lot of action, a lot of conflicting feelings AND-

✧  characters  ✧

A lot of “MY BLORBO!!!” screamed either in delight or despair. Or both. While Class A (with the exception of the main 3) are kind of shafted in the first half (the odds were highly against them but still), they get some spotlight in the Deku’s arc. We get a lot of important info on the Todoroki family, thanks to a certain someone’s reveal, which I thought was incredibly important. The show has been trying to redeem Endeavour for a while now so it could’ve been easy to kind of.. forget, or downplay his abusive behaviour in the past but these flashbacks show us even more what kind of a person he was back then. 

Some side characters like certain previous OFA users and Hawks also get some focus.

And of course Bakugou’s character development (especially regarding our dear broccoli boy) was SO good and needed. It was just so.... I’ve no words, truly.

✧  art  ✧

It’s BONES. Great fight scenes, and animation and all that. This is what they’re known for after all. If I had to nitpick, the colour pallette was kind of dull for most of the anime. The big fight scene of the 1st arc takes place in a basically completely brown area and the 2nd arc has this fugly dark filter on cause they made it Moody and Depressing. I mean, it fits, but it’s still not all too appealing to look at for multiple episodes.

✧  sound ✧

OP/EDs were great but not my favourites from the franchise. The VAs did a fantastic job as usual.

✧  overview ✧

Things don’t seem to be slowing down for the next season either so I’m excited! Leggooo!

My Rating: 9/10

[octobre-ackedia]

Whoops I forgot to finish it and post it, here it is now

ok, let's get into it

Disclaimer, I have not seen the new movie or show, I couldn't even get through the entire trailer, it made me cringe so deep in my bones. I've started watching Schaffrillas' review of it, and I gave up like half way through anyway, deciding I can take a few of the tropes from it, and it needs a rewrite from scratch.

I'm also not gonna put it in the post as more than a few points, I don't have the time at the moment to figure out some actual dialogue, proper way of representing the themes I'm gonna put it in, or think of jokes.

so I present to you

Megamind and the woke propaganda

(it's a funny haha joke because I want to include a lot of "woke" themes in this re-write)

I'd say the plot of Megamind 2 (let's just leave it at that, it's good enough, it doesn't need no Doom Syndicate, that title is so bad) begins over a year after the events of the first movie. Over that time, not much happened. Metro man became Music man, he started publishing his music, and there's a bit of comedy about nobody being able to recognise him, even though he looks basically the same, just a parody of the superhero genre.

That's also an important point. Megamind was always a clever parody of the superhero genre, the same way Shrek is a parody of fairytale movies Disney makes. The new content we got from Megamind lacks that soul entirely, making it a simple superhero movie with some incredibly unfunny jokes, neither fully marketed towards children, nor adults. I want my version to be a continuation of what the first movie was, still holding the idea in mind, and definitely not ignoring some major plot points of it (like EKHEM megamind Vs the doom syndicate EKHEM did).

Roxanne went back to being a TV presenter, but now with the lack of action from Metro Man and Megamind, there isn't just as much important stuff to talk about. She becomes unsatisfied with her job, wanting to do something good for humanity.

Minion on the other hand starts exploring his identity. In his free time, since Megamind is mostly sat in the "evil lair" changing his old designs and creating new ones to help the city, Minion starts working in the donut shop. He is just used to working for someone and it brings him some form of comfort, as well as he discovers his love for baking. His work becomes his life, and he develops so much with baking, he basically takes over the place. During that time, now being the employer, not the employee, he realises he isn't a minion anymore. He is his own being. And he wants to call himself Chum, which I wanna keep, because the comedy in Minions being the more recognizable movie, and the name chum being both a pun on fish, and how he's Megamind's friend are iconic. We get a bit of trans issues shown, simply by Megamind's behaviour towards it. It's not simply shown and said that Chum is trans or whatever, but the phrases would ring a familiar bell to the trans community, like "You'll always be Minion to me", "I've always called you Minion, you can't expect me to now be able to change it" and stuff like that. We get a plotline how Chum and Megamind grow to be equals, and Megamind switches to calling him by his chosen name eventually.

Megamind's plotline, the most important one in the movie, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT HIM, simply shows his struggles with fitting in society, that isn't just people in prison. There could be some autism parallels, and he'd be trying his best to understand how people work, but simply being unable to be like them, ending up excluded. That was a thing already mentioned in his backstory, and I'd love it to be explored in the sequel. He's an alien, he spent his childhood in prison, I know we had enough autism representation with aliens and robots, but it could be handled well.

I really want to explore more of the characters we were already shown, rather than putting like 15 new people into the story for no reason. I want to give them space to grow, and flesh them out properly.

I'd like to bring back the character of Bernard. He was already a character in the original, why won't we just expand him instead of giving us new marketable toys of some stupid (literally stupid, they were all so stupid) villains. He and Roxanne start bonding, since they're both so interested in debunking theories, research, basically detective work. Bernard was an absolute Megamind fan, and he knew his stuff, and Roxanne gives him a new perspective on things, when he got bored of Megamind's new good persona. They become good friends, and are really helping with pushing the plot forwards with figuring out what's going on behind the scenes. And Bernard being such a fangirl for Megamind, he must've been active on Reddit or something. He shows Roxanne the world of the internet, we get the new age stuff, and they start a podcast. We get Megamind becoming what Titan once was, an incel. Hey, people writing Megamind, we already started discussing the problem of incel behaviour, can't we continue it INSTEAD OF SOME NDISBDIDNWKDBBDNDJSBDJDBDBDISNSKFHEIBDID (ok, I'm getting emotional, sorry, I'll stop). The point is, Megamind gets really jealous and only seeing Metro Man's and Titan's treatment of women before, he is confused. He is acting up, and can't understand male and female friendship. In the end he learns, and actually gets redemption from his incel arc, instead of being locked up in prison like Hal (deserved in this case, but you know what I mean)

We need a new villain. And here I am to serve it to you. The main villain is some corporation guy, maybe from the news, whose marketing died down because of the lack of fighting between good and evil. Metro Man is no longer there to star in his ads, and he finds out how Titan even came to be. Using that idea, he starts creating villains and heros on his own (Hawkmoth from MLB almost) and using them for monetary gain. The city becomes an absolute mess, and when Bernard and Roxanne figure out the conspiracy, the team has to stop him and bring peace again.

I'm afraid it might get too "woke", with all the analogies to "woke" issues. But Megamind it's my story and I get to choose the themes (/ref to that meme with Link).

Let's not forget that the original Megamind movie was supposed to be a caricature of the superhero genre, so making marketable superheros would be an amazing meta joke and actual criticism of Disney, now owning Marvel, like Dreamworks always did.

The resolution could be simply erasing super hero bullshit from society. No more big bad villains, no more heros. Some people have superpowers, and they simply use them in their lives, like people able to fly working high up in the air, cleaning skyscraper windows from the outside, etc.. Megamind creates tech that makes life easier, Chum starts a chain of his own bakeries, Roxanne and Bernard love doing their true crime podcast, and Metro Man's music career goes further.

It would be a story about fitting in. Great for children and adults. It would be a story about being different, having issues, but still being able to find your people and use your weirdness for good. I feel like I could write so much more about it, but I might need to be institutionalised if I spend a second longer thinking about this whole shit show.

Maybe I've watched too many series and not enough movies and that's too much to fit in one hour and a half cinematic masterpiece. But who cares, they made a series anyway. I can make a series. FFS.

So, that's about what I thought of, I do not accept any criticism, this is my magnum opus and I will die on this hill (I'm kidding, I'd love to get all the constructive criticism you guys have, as well as your own ideas ;-; I need to talk to someone about this thing because I'm going insane)

I'm gonna rewrite Megamind VS The Doom Syndicate but make it actually good and I have an entire doc with ideas already and idk, does anyone even want to read that?

Genshin boys transform into cats.

A Furry Predicatment [Cat Genshin Impact x Gn!Reader]

♤♡◇♧☆

Synopsis: Venturing to Springvale the boys inhale the fairy dust that turns people into cats, now they must endure the consequences.

Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Xiao, Albedo, Zhongli, Childe, Venti

(A/n): My student just sent me a video of her cat. I think thats a sign anon. This was meant to be written. part 2 here :P

=======================

[Diluc]

The grumpy cat (to no one's surprise) who wears the same iconic frown with the same matching gloomy eyes. He's grumpy about this outcome in particular, plus the fact he can't even voice his frustrations except for meowing noises and the endless craving for raw fish. RAW, how despicable.

The maids were looking for Master Diluc except that he was already there...in your arms. Just like his hair, his fur is the fluffiest as if he were a gigantic ball of hilichurl hair. You would nuzzle your face into it because he just feels so warm!

Absolutely will NOT live like a cat. The uncrowned king of Mondstadt refuses to drink water from a bowl. He cannot eat anything unless you feed him with utensils. NO, no he will not shove his mouth into the plate, its uncultured and unsanitary.

He never though taking baths would be so nerve-wracking (cat instincts). It was terrible, choosing between the feeling of water against his body or licking his paws to clean himself (a much more comfortable choice). This kind of lifestyle was miserable.

~xx~

[Kaeya]

The mischievious cat (oh no) cue pink panther music, he's the Tom with Jerry's brains. Unlike Diluc, Kaeya will ultimately fall into his cat instincts and somehow uses it to his advantage.

You bet he's gonna spy on people. At night he would jump upon the rooftops to peek through Goth Grand Hotel's windows (watching closely at the Fatui), until the Darknight Hero comes in. Diluc knows it's Kaeya, it's rather uncanny how he does it, hence the cat runs away immediately.

The type to lick you upon contact. You think this was a quirk that came with the spell but he was actually doing it on purpose. Usually targets the neck because he could get a reaction out of you (ohoho you're tickilish there eh?)

As he is roaming out on the streets, always manages to escape the dogs. Kaeya knows his way around the city like the back of his hand, he enjoys watching them bark endlessly while he licks his paws in a mocking manner. Until one of them hopped up, now things got tricky. Basically Kaeya gets himself to alot of trouble as a cat, the worst part was when a bunch of kids started to join in too.

~xx~

[Xiao]

The fiesty cat (he was always a fiesty cat) who hisses alot. Even his fur stands up like a porcupine when expressing his distastefulness. The way he meows almost sounds like a low growl, bares his fangs as if he were a thirsty vampire. Will scare alot of people away with his behaviour, even dogs.

But damn he would make a pretty cat. Golden eyes, dark green stripes and teal fur, the purple diamond still tattooed between where his eyebrows once were, it didn't take long for Verr Goldet to realize that was Xiao.

And the worst nightmare of all, while Cat Xiao roams around the city at night he happened to attract alot of other stray cats who lived in the streets. They were very attracted to his beauty, cornering him until there was no where to run, that was the only situation where Xiao was scared enough to run away.

His ears are the most sensitive. He can't help but purr whenever you pet between them. Though if anyone were to grab his tail, the outcome would not be very pleasant...

~xx~

[Albedo]

The curious cat (who does not die) that will appear from every corner, silently, mysteriously as if he teleported. Once Lisa found him between the bookshelves of her Library while seeing a pile of books stacked upon the floor. Before she could shoo him out, she realized that the cat was way too smart to be a mere cat and quickly deciphered that it was the Chief Alchemist.

Of course no one else in Mondstadt knew it was Albedo, they thought you just had a very talented pet. Margaret even decided to put him against Prince to see who's cat was the best. It wasn't even a competition. Catbedo could paint a picture just by using his paws.

But Klee found out eventually (she deserved to know). She would open her drawer, take out her bow and stick them upon his fur. It seems that Albedo can never get a break when it was against his little sister, she will find indulging activities to do without consent.

Astounded by the sheer talent your cat possessed, the Knights of Favonius offered to hire your cat to be trained as a Knight Cat because animals are very good at deciphering clues for investigation. Oh how unaware they were.

[Zhongli]

The type of cat for crazy cat ladies. It's the vibe he gives being an old man ranging to a thousand years. Zhongli is very behaving, very considerate and very calm in his cat form. His favourite activity is to snuggle upon your lap while you quietly read a book.

He is indeed a tall black cat. Has incredible and refined posture and if he were to stand up on his hind legs, he can even reach as far as the kitchen counter! Though he does not like the fact that he sheds so much fur, it leaves a huge mess behind him (in which you had to clean up)

Zhongli decided to venture into Liyue's streets and see what it's like to be a cat. He starts communicating with some of them, speaking his cat language (meow meowmewomewo? meeoooow). Needless to say, the cats had no idea what he was saying.

If there were any cat-related dish he eats, it has to be sushi. Raw sashimis if possible. You worry if the choice was even healthy for a cat but you remembered that he was still a god. He'll be fine, right?

[Childe]

The annoying cat (that you must take care of, remember) whos a little too impulsive for his own good. Childe finds the excitement running through him whenever he spots a mouse, a squirrel or even a bird. One moment he's in your arms, the next he just leapt high into the air and running into the streets.

Adventurous as always. You take him to the pond to get some fresh air. Childe is not afraid of water, at all. He plays a game with the fishes, trying to see how much he can catch in one swipe. You had to keep a close eye on him otherwise he'd fall in and drown.

Loves climbing trees but shortly realizes that he can't get down. You tell him to jump but he feels hesitant so you had to climb up and get him. However, now the two of you were stuck and Zhongli had to get you both down one at a time.

Childe has the prettiest blue eyes as a cat. They were big and bright, almost feminine. But you knew that look was the look of upcoming trouble.

[Venti]

Oh God Barbatos.

Venti can't stop sneezing. His own fur is all over the place and he just couldn't catch a break (or a breath). Every second he will hiss-sneeze, they sounded like dying noises.

You had to get him to Lisa as fast as possible otherwise the death of Barbatos would have been caused by his own self.

[delicrieux]

CORPSE REQUESTS???? HELL YEAH ALRIGHT so maybe one where the usual lobby is streaming but with bretman rock and he‘s kinda picking up on that cute we-like-each-other-but-we‘re-too-stupid-realize dynamic between corpse and y/n so he teases them and calls them out on it?? Idk just an idea, love you!

･:* ☆ author’s note: yo! yo! this is ✨cute✨ also....funky monky friday!!!

masterlist.｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Typical game, typical stream, not exactly typical company. While Bretman is an unusual addition, he definitely adds a certain little something that not only makes the game funnier, but the dynamic more lively. If someone were to ask you if you could listen to him rambling for hours you would announce a resounding “Yes!” - well, no one asked, but you still told your stream that. They appreciated the honesty. Some of your followers, however, snuck in a few comments that vaguely read “u sure u don’t mean u could listen to corpse forever?” among the sea of keyboard smashes and emojis. You pretended you didn’t see them , focusing on that stupid card swipe that get’s you every time.

There are impostors among your group of friends, and your job as crewmate is to sniff them out. For some reason you have an inkling one of them is Sykkuno because he was just a bit too sweet during the last meeting, amping up the innocence in his voice to a suspicious extent; the second one, sadly, you are blind to. Though, if a surprise attack were to happen, you at least have Corpse beside you, guarding you while you do tasks. 

The fairy-lights in your stream room twinkle and dim, your eyes lingering on Corpse’s in-game astronaut for a tad longer than necessary. 

You have been following him this whole time like a lost puppy. Running in circles around his little character. At one point a chase ensued where he tried to catch you and you were laughing and you hope he was laughing too but quite frankly you were too afraid to check what the stream had to say because you figured it was going nuts. 

A meeting was urgently called. You frown softly at the X’s sprung on some of your friends’ icons. “I’ll avenge you.” You mutter before unmuting your mic.

“Okay, so, it’s definitely not Corpse or (Name).” James chimes so quick you barely manage to catch him, “I passed them on my way to MedBay and she was just running circles around him while he was, I don’t know, AFK? I mean, yes, king, work! Give us nothing!”

“I dunno guys,” Sykkuno says after the laughter dies down, “(Name) has been acting pretty sus. Have you even done any of your tasks?”

“It’s not (Name).” Corpse opposes quietly, though his voice is drowned out by a cacophony of conflicting opinions.

 “The hell, Sykkuno?” You exclaim, hurt. Is he trying to frame you? You knew something was odd about him this round, “What is this snake behaviour? Yes I did my tasks, Corpse is my alibi.”

“I was literally with her the whole time.” He confirms, all in that calm, baritone of his, “If she killed someone, I would have seen it.”

“How do we know you aren’t in cahoots?” Rae questions. Seconds tick by, draining the timer. This is getting nowhere. Worst of all, you’re slowly being led into the fire before they flame you. Honestly, you aren’t the impostor. If you were, you’re certain they would’ve caught you already. “I feel like (Name) and Corpse would be in cahoots.”

“Okay, good point,” James says, “but the body was found in Navigation.”

“They could’ve vented there.” Sykkuno offers.

Corpse hums, “Spoken like a true Impostor.” 

“Aren’t you in Navigation, Sykkuno?” You grit.

“Yes, I, uhh, I found the body with James.”

“Sus.” You say. Your stream chat echoes it a thousand times. Maybe more.

“I don’t think it’s Sykkuno,” James mumbles, “but I also don’t think it’s Corpse or (Name). Like, I’ve seen them doing tasks around the map. Never have they been anywhere even close to a body.”

“Yeah!” Sykkuno exclaims, “Isn’t that suspicious?”

You gape at your camera, like you’re in the Office, before hissing a “How the fuck is not murdering people suspicious?!”

“Guys, seriously,” Corpse says with a light little laugh, instantly hushing the hectic conversation, “we need to vote or skip. I say we skip for now. (Name) and I have been together since I ran into her in Electrical before the first body was found. I really don’t know what else do you want me to say. Let’s skip, okay?”

A chorus of “Okay”s shakes the discord call - if it’s anyone that can convince them to do something, it’s Corpse. This talent of his is both frightening and wonderful. It’s good having someone defend you, though if he ever wanted to vote you out, you’d be done for.

Somehow, you think he wouldn’t do that, though. A smile almost slips onto your lips before you swallow it down. Incriminating. You will not appear soft on stream! Your audience would tease you all the way to hell and back.

Bretman, who had been eerily quiet through the exchange (or, possibly, accidentally muted his mic again), suddenly speaks up, “Y’all are too cute.”

“What? Who?” Rae asks.

“(Name) and Corpse. Don’t think we don’t see y’all coupling it up.”

You’re suddenly incredibly happy you always stream in low lights - it feels cozy, more personal somehow - because your cheeks flush with heat and you lean back into your chair, as if to get away from him and the screen and the game and what he’s saying. You dare a glance at the chat but it’s swimming from the influx of messages. 

Corpse is quiet. You’re not sure whether that makes you feel better or worse.

“Oh my God, no kidding.” James says, the last one to skip vote, “They’re always like this, I swear, it’s the cutest thing.”

“What about me and Corpse?” Sykkuno asks, “I thought we had something special.”

“First you frame me,” You speak up, “and now you’re trying to take away my only friend? Cold, Sykkuno. Real cold.”

“Yaaaas, miss girl, don’t let him walk all over you!” Bretman cheers.

Thankfully, the timer ends, no one is flung into the void of outer space and all mics are muted again before Bretman can say anything else. 

You feel nervous. Corpse’s astronaut stands next to you, immobile. Swallowing, you circle around him again. You grin when he follows after you. Good, so he wasn’t weirded out by that exchange after all. 

Wait, why do you care so much anyway?

Well, whatever. There are still plenty of tasks to be done and you need to catch Sykkuno somehow. With renewed enthusiasm, you connect wires, thinking of a game plan. 

“here from corpse’s stream, he just called (name) angel:)!!”

You briefly wonder if it’ll make it into his stream highlights. Something so insignificant, such an offhand affectionate comment...Probably not, but you’d be lying if you said you didn’t want to hear it. Just to know how it sounded. To know if it really happened or was it just a little white lie from his fans meant only to tease you.

You wish you would've missed that comment in chat. Because now, with your heart racing in your chest, that’s the only thing you can think about.

.

hope you liked it! xx

Regret part 10

Moonlit conversation

Genshin Impact Adeptus! reader

warnings: -

word count:~1.3k

notes: happy mid autumn festival! This chapter is purely about Childe and Tsarista.

[previous] [next]

The Tsarista is hard to understand.

“Your highness?” the gingered male peeked into the dimly lit room carefully, making sure he's not disturbing his archon.

Deep blue eyes searched the room until they landed on a lonely figure by the window sill, silently gazing at the Snezhnaya waters.

The Tsarista looks back a bit, gesturing to him to come closer.

Childe obliges. He came to find her to have a talk, even if he has yet to figure out what to say. The Tsarista has been rather fickle lately, it seemed like she was making rash decisions.

Even though he knows the Tsarista always have everything planned out. The reasons behind her actions were surely ones a mortal like him couldn’t understand.

The Tsarista is hard to understand.

Not even her closest subordinates - harbingers, could see through her. All her thoughts are masked with the iconic smile, one not sinister nor genuine.

It’s just one without any emotions, an eerie and intimidating smile.

To say the least, the Tsarista is someone incredibly… calculating. Each step she takes, each word she utters, are all through careful consideration.

Fickle and unpredictable. No one could guess her next movement. She slips away like ice.

Which is why, small talk coming from her is completely uncalled for.

“The pier was lively today.” Her quiet and breathless voice caught Childe off guard, shoulders flinching at the unexpected voice.

Has the sun risen from the west? Has the snow melted in Snezhnaya?

Childe carefully observed the divine being, perturbed by her unusual behaviour.

Silky hair pale as snow, cold as ice. A sharp and glacy gaze that sends even the most arrogant humans shivering. Contrasting to her bitter cold appearance, a burning desire could be felt within her glacy pupils. A being said to be so ethereal that just one glance would captivate all men and women across Teyvat-

Except something was a bit different from usual. Childe rubbed his eyes to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him.

Is she…frowing? Could it even be considered a frown?

Very slightly, almost goes unnoticeable, was her furrowed brows and tired eyes that observed the pier.

Her usual smile remains, but less… stoic?

Not one necessarily of affection nor gentle, but rather… relieved?

The Tsarista mostly appear to be disinterested in a lot of things, usually displaying an indifferent attitude.

Yet somehow she feels expressive today.

As if her cold facade had faded just for a bit, walls thinned down just a little.

He feels it’d be okay to ask her.

“Your highness…” cautiously, while being wary of any change in her expression, “why did you...?”

Why did she do that to you? What was her intention in exiling you after draining every last bit of your power? Remains unsaid.

She glances at her harbinger once, before refocusing on the sea, watching the wobbly reflection of the moon in the gentle tides.

“There was no need to keep up the pointless charade, is there?” the words themselves are cold and harsh, but something lies beyond.

“It’s been far too long. That child has been by my side for so many years. ” Childe patiently waits for the Tsarista to continue. It seems that she is in the mood for talking today, willing to share more.

“My initial plan to utilise adeptus power has been met, there is simply no need to keep that child around any longer.” The soft moonlight basking her figure made her even paler.

The queen of Snezhnaya is hard to understand.

Her words were so subtle and ambiguous, hard to fully uncover the hidden meanings.

Childe may not be the brightest, but for some reason he thought he might just have a faint idea on what she’s conveying.

Archons make the mistakes too. He recalled what Zhongli once told him, when he was still naive enough to not realise his true identity.

Archons, deities with absolute authority. But the geo archon had him realising even divine beings feel remorse for their own actions.

But guilt doesn’t seem to be the right word to describe what the current Tsarista is feeling.

It’s something else, hiding deep behind those walls.

“Did you know? There’s a tradition in Liyue for families to reunite under the full moon, no matter how far they parted.” she gazes at the luminous full moon.

Snezhnaya’s queen does not have any love left for her people - a saying he had heard from somewhere long ago, describing the one and only ruler of his home.

Being an archon does not mean they’re perfect, nor can they protect all their loved ones. In Zhongli’s case, he learnt, would be giving up his beloved adeptus for the sake of his people, and losing close friends in the ancient war.

Then how about the Tsarista? She must have lost something precious too.

But that is not for him to butt into.

“I’m sure the weather would be nicer there, without the neverending snowstorms and hail.”

Does the Tsarista truly have no love left for her people?

“As a previous envoy to Liyue, I guarantee that it’s warm and cosy.” a cheeky grin started to form on his face, getting wider and wider.

But perhaps he already knows the answer.

The Tsarista lets out a soft hum at his response, somewhat sounding relieved.

“Your highness, did you know? Morax frequently forgets to bring mora…”

“And he bought a vase for 1 million mora, and I had to pay!”

“Then La Signora knocked Scaramouche’s hat off! He was so pissed!”

“And that moose-deer being talked! I had no idea it was an adeptus!”

Light chuckles and giggles filled the quiet atmosphere along with Childe’s innocent and non-stop rambling.

Just for today, it’s okay for her to drop her facade.

Maybe, the Tsarista is not as unfathomable.

An archon may not be so different from human mortals, after all.

“I’m sure that Zhongli and them are having a great time.” his grin so wide and bright, “that child, well, a child older than me, is finally back home after all.”

“Happy full moon day, your highness.”

“I believe the correct saying is ‘happy mid-autumn festival’, Tartaglia.”

Childe awkwardly rubbed his head and broke out into a loud laughter.

.

.

.

“Could you help me deliver something when you visit Liyue again?” She reaches into her pocket, pulling out a tarnished necklace.

One that is cracked, but pieces of it has been carefully assembled and glued together.

One that resembles the shape of a flower he hadn’t seen in Snezhnaya.

One that seems to be of very old age, considering the oxidized parts. It couldn’t be worth much. Who is the Tsarista giving this to?

“It’s something that child left behind.” Ah. A sudden realisation hits him. So it was not the Tsarista’s own belongings.

“What was done was inevitable for the final destination, I don’t regret it. Yet… that child has been with me for quite some time.”

“That child had quite a hard time. This… is something they held dearly before.” She points at the necklace, running her fingers over the flower. “I wasn’t sure how to give it back.”

So that was why the Tsarista held onto something that seemed so… worn out.

Even though Childe still disapproves of her actions towards you which caused you to suffer, he feels as if he gained a deeper understanding of his archon.

She is meant to be someone brutal who would commit atrocities just to achieve her goal, even if she believes it will lead to peace.

Perhaps that’s why she always kept a certain distance from you. The Tsarista has done terrible things, so, so many heartless and ruthless deeds.

Or maybe, the archons are just not good at communication. Childe huffs at his own thoughts, recalling both Zhongli’s and Tsarista’s expressions when talking about you.

Archons are just as imperfect as mortals are.

The archons sure are hard to understand.

KAREEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! IM SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY AND GRATEFUL THAT YOU’RE DOING THE REWATCH!!!!!!! i know making your own posts can be kinda scary but please know that you’re doing great and that every single contribute matters!!!!!!

“brown like horse shit” will forever be the most iconic line uttered in the history of television SORRY BUT IT’S JUST SO FUNNY AND IT SENDS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME. imagine saying that to one of the people who are supposed to hire you and STILL getting the job of your dreams THAT’S JUST PEAK KING BEHAVIOUR. then again, talay is probably one of the most charming and lovable characters i’ve ever seen, no wonder he can get away with everything. also if GMMTV had the vision we would have gotten the DVD box set with a special featurette about the show titled ‘horse shit brown’ as a funny little nod both to this iconic moment and to the color coded episodes BUT ALAS

vice versa is honestly such a gem of a show not only because it was able to remain true to its characters and have a consistent and coherent narrative until the very end while at the same time being forced to add so many product placements (and doing a damn good job at it if i may add), but also because it integrated so many cameos and easter eggs so naturally!!!! NO OTHER SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT THIS IS THE HILL IM GONNA DIE ON

i wish i could answer all your questions about universe-swapping but unfortunately some things will indeed remain without a proper explanation ;;;;;; @morkofday and i joked about how we would have liked vice versa to be like those chinese series with 50 episodes so that it could explore all the different possibilities about universe travelling, because when you start thinking about it there really are so many interesting scenarios that you can come up with, but in the end im okay with not having all the answers. the fantasy part was never the point of the show, so i think they established it just enough for what they were trying to convey. i do want to (quickly) share my two cents on puen and talay switching with tun and tess tho, because if you think about it, talay is way more similar to tun (they’re both hardworking boys with a big dream and a loving family) and puen to tess (rich boys already connected to the movie industry and a complicated relationship to their family [or the lack thereof]) than the opposite, but i don't think it's a coincidence that the universe (which is somewhat of a sentient force in the show) made them switch with the person they have less in common: there are lessons to be learned in living someone else's life, especially when it's quite the opposite of yours

ANYWAY. thank you so much for doing this!!!!!! i've loved to read your thoughts and if you feel like doing it again please know that im looking forward to it!!!!! ALSO HAVE I FOUND OST OF ALL TIME SO TRUE OF YOU TO SAY THAT

Ok I’m doing it!!!

I’m doing the Vice Versa rewatch!! I know we’re on week 2 and I’m behind but I had stuff going on and I didn’t have time 🙈

I don’t usually make my own posts about shows I watch so bear with me I’m kinda new at this 😅

Just a few minutes in and I realize I forgot so much of it! Of course I remember how much I loved it and how it made me feel but the details of the story have been lost by now.

When Talay described the man as brown like a horse shit I laughed out loud! Did I forget how funny the show was? 😅

This is the most iconic intro of a character ever 👏🏽😍😎 KING!! And we all know how I feel about him in the scene with the suspenders 😏

Look at these smitten kittens!! I love Sea’s freckles 🥰

As I keep watching I keep remembering so much from when I first saw it. Vice Versa was my second GMMTV BL and my 4th overall and I’ve seen so many since then but this one is really in my top 3 (I have 3 faves but they’re not ranked among themselves, they’re all equally my faves) which is really saying something! I loved this show so much and I really fell in love with Sea at first watch (Jimmy I liked but I didn’t love him til later. It took longer to warm up to him cause I didn’t like his character in Bad Buddy).

And it was my second GMMTV BL after Bad Buddy which was so good and literally changed my life cause it got me into BLs! And I was excited to see OhmNanon in it too! But I wasn’t really as disappointed that they weren’t in the show as much or that they didn’t end up together as other people were.

The way they switched from Sea to Ohm and back is pretty cool to see!

I remember that each episode was color coded and I remember not paying attention to the colors at all for some eps and trying my hardest to notice them for other eps. I’m so bad at noticing visuals like that 😅 but I would check tumblr after each episode and see how others noticed the colors! I see the ocean blue here in ep 1 🌊👀

Oh that’s right! There was a ForceBook cameo! I never watched Enchante 😅 and oh snap! The password to the secret universe-swapping club is a quote from 2gether! I understand that reference now! 😁

I have questions about this universe-swapping. Are there only 2 universes that do the swapping? Or are there a million universes that anyone could be from? If so they’re so lucky they’re from the same one and swapped to the same one, that’s fate right there. And what if you were swapped with someone of a different culture? Would one automatically know the language of the region they’re in? Or is it that you only switch with someone of your own culture? Is it like you switch with the “you” of that world? But Puen and Talay aren’t really like Tun and Tess 🤔 questions that will never be answered…

Sea’s voice is beautiful and Have I Found will always be a top tier OST in my book!! 👏🏽 one of my faves!!

What a wild ride that was revisiting ep 1 of this show! All the emotions just came flooding back to me! Maybe I don’t have anything deep to say to add to the discourse of this show but I’m so glad Monica came up with this rewatch cause I’m having a good time! Thank you @stormyoceans! I’m excited to keep going, maybe I’ll notice more stuff I didn’t realize the first time around 😁

Azriel’s part in rescuing Elain from Hybern’s war camp, combined with their Truth-Teller scene, reads like a mating bond acceptance; a theory

Please don't screenshot this post without credit.

Disclaimer: NSFW / 18+ themes below. Just like every other theory, this post makes no claims of accuracy, and is purely based on my thoughts. I also want to note that, while I suspect that an "intended bond" between Elriel is where SJM is headed, I would really love to read about a chosen, or even - especially - a carranam bond.

Azriel and Elain Archeron have, to date, not only had a friendship that many thought would become something more, but have both displayed behaviour towards each other that many would consider indicative of an underlying mating bond... if Elain wasn't already bonded to Lucien Vanserra.

However, not only do they react to each other in just about every way possible to mirror the behaviour of canonically mated couples, such as Feyre and Rhys, and Nesta and Cassian, but the imagery with which their iconic scenes are written tend to scream engagement (linked post by @solar-lilith), wedding and mating bond.

Firstly, well before Elain’s kidnapping and rescue, we saw Azriel carrying her - bridal style - into the townhouse, with her golden-brown hair snagging on the armoured scales across his chest and shoulders, in chapter 24 of ACOWAR.

Aside from the obvious newly-wed imagery, this scene, to me, appeared to be evoking a bond of golden threads between the two, from Elain to Azriel’s chest. Perhaps a mating bond? A soul bond? Maybe they are carranam? With the little we currently know about the types of mating bonds, it's hard to say with any certainty, though I'm fairly sure that something connects the two of them. As Azriel said to Cassian in ACOSF, if something had happened to Nesta in the Blood Rite, he would feel it in his chest. How could he possibly know this? Read on.

The next quote, from the same chapter, not only tells us that mating bonds can be rejected - in the context of a conversation in which Feyre essentially suggested that she would have matched Elain and Azriel together, rather than Elain and Lucien! - but that, while mating bonds are uncommon, bonds between "true, paired souls" are even rarer. Does this mean that there are different sorts of bonds that fall under the umbrella of a "mating bond"?

While the comment about truly complementary souls may have primarily been about Feyre and Rhys, given it was mentioned in their discussion in which Elain’s bond with Lucien was questioned, I don't think it's a stretch to wonder if there was a secondary, deeper meaning there; namely, what if Elain and Azriel are soul-mates?

Light and dark, life and death, warmth and cold... Elain and Azriel certainly sound complementary to me. I suspect we will see a true merging of their beings, which is why, to me, they jointly represent Dusk, an in-between time, where light and dark meet.

Moving on from Feyre questioning the bond between Elain and Lucien, we have the iconic "I'm getting her back" scene, in which Azriel’s eyes glowed golden in the shadows.

We know, from both Feyre and Nesta, that the threads of their respective mating bonds glowed golden when they were emotionally accepted; Elain is also associated with golden light throughout the series. There is a well-known proverb, "the eyes are the window to the soul," and, following this line of thought a step further, if Azriel and Elain were indeed intended soul-mates before the disaster at Hybern, then perhaps Azriel’s eyes glowing golden is a nod to his hypothetical, buried soul-bond with Elain being visible through the window of his eyes.

Was this Azriel’s - hypothetical - pre-existing bridge/bond to Elain making him aware of a lack of something that joined him to her, at a time when she was shackled with chains that potentially blocked bonds, mating or otherwise? Is this how Azriel knew what Cassian would feel if Nesta were to die? He was incredibly certain, for someone who, canonically, has no mate of his own.

That being said, while the potential lack of Elain’s figurative presence in Azriel’s chest may have been what triggered his awareness of her loss (she was magically shackled very quickly, so I don't blame her sisters for not realising before he did, if this theory does pan out), I suspect that his motivations for going after her were not purely bond related. By this stage, the two of them had been sharing tea in the garden, and were probably on their way to being friends, if not friends already. Given Azriel's loyalty to those he loves - and friendship is indeed a type of love - then I could see that being at least a part of his impetus to go after Elain, and bring her home to her family.

Now that we've established the imagery that represents the existence of the hypothetical bond between Azriel and Elain, let's have a look at passages from the text that describe the acceptance of a bond between officially mated couples - Feyre and Rhys, and Nesta and Cassian - then compare it to the text for Elain and Azriel. The following quotes are snapshots of the relevant text, rather than the complete chapters, as that would have taken up too much room, and probably breached some sort of copyright, as well.

Feyre and Rhys

Nesta and Cassian

Elain and Azriel

The bond acceptance scenes between both Feyre and Rhys, and Nesta and Cassian combined, contain very similar language and imagery to the war camp rescue and Truth-Teller scenes from ACOWAR:

Eyes - widening, flaring, glowing.

Kneeling - the males kneeling before their respective (and hypothesised) mates.

"Devour," "feast," and "taste" - thoughts of, mentions and literal.

"You came for me" and "Hold tight, and don't make a sound" - these are double entendres, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Threads and chains, unbreakable or otherwise - Feyre referred to her bond with Rhys as forming an unbreakable chain; the fact that Azriel called for Helion Spell-Cleaver, Lucien’s secret biological father, to unravel the spells on the chains that shackled Elain could be significant

Chest - we know that they feel the threads of their mating bonds in their chests; Feyre and Nesta have both mentioned this. I suspect that Azriel holding Elain to his chest, and refusing to put her down until she was taken by Rhys, was because he (hypothetically, of course) needed to feel her presence physically, externally, while he was still unable to feel whatever bridge or thread may remain between them after she was Made by the Cauldron, due to the spelled chains that she wore.

Wall - Nesta’s internal walls came down, Feyre wanted it against a wall, and Elain was rescued from the King of Hybern, who used the Cauldron that Made her to demolish the magical Wall that separated the faerie and human realms.

"Faster," "harder, "again... again," and "moved" - versions of these words were used in each of the three scenes.

Roaring - the males roaring such that mountains shook, hunts were summoned and it echoed off the rocks; lots and lots and lots of roaring. Interestingly, Azriel's roar was the one that "echoed off the rocks," and blasts of his power were noted to "echo" Rhys' later on, during the battle.

Cliffs - Feyre referred to feeling like she would fall off "the edge of the world," and Azriel literally jumped off a cliff with Elain in his arms.

Home - Feyre found her home with Rhys, and realised she could have a life; Cassian slid home; Nesta fell asleep, "home at last" in Cassian’s arms; Azriel helped to bring Elain home, in his arms.

Dawn - "dawn broke over the world" as Cassian roared, while Azriel carried Elain into their camp as "the gray light of morning had broken over the world."

Light and dark merging - Feyre noted the joining of her body with Rhys' had light and dark mixing, and then, when Azriel gave Truth-Teller to Elain, she mentioned something very similar: "Light and dark, the space between their bodies a blend of the two." While Feyre and Rhys definitely have Hades and Persephone vibes, there is no denying that Elain and Azriel do, too. An echo, if you will.

Claws - Feyre wanted to claw at Rhys' wings, while Azriel’s wings were literally clawed at by fanged beasts.

A kiss - afterwards, Nesta "reached up" to give Cassian a kiss and Elain "rose up on her toes" to kiss Azriel's cheek.

Souls - Feyre and Nesta both mentioned the fact that their souls were joining with Rhys and Cassian, respectively; I suspect that, in Elain’s rescue scene, this could be represented by Azriel requesting that Helion "get these chains off her." Not only in the literal sense, but perhaps also figuratively. Is something aside from Hybern’s shackles chaining Elain’s soul, or magic, so it cannot connect properly with Azriel? A little earlier that night, when Feyre and Azriel had just found Elain in the King's tent, Feyre mentioned that she reached for a thread of Helion’s power, "to unravel the king's spell on the chains." In ACOMAF, Feyre noted that the bond between her and Rhys became a chain; what if this had a double meaning, and Helion - or Lucien - could also play a role in unravelling any spells that were placed on the chain that could have reached between Elain and Azriel? (Original linked post by @nikethestatue).

Fertility - bonus points for Feyre mentioning a "fruitful womb" in Elain’s rescue scene, when both she and Rhys, and Nesta and Cassian, all had the baby talk in their respective books. Given Elain’s association with the Cauldron (and perhaps the Mother), and the fact that she gardens - is spring personified - giving life to her plants, I wouldn't be surprised if she and Azriel had a child at some point.

I'm sure I've missed other similarities, but I think that I've demonstrated that the themes and imagery with which the three scenes were written were shockingly alike; in my opinion, too much so to be a coincidence, though of course everyone has their own.

To finish off this post, I thought I'd leave you with a passage to mull over. I found it interesting that, while Azriel's eyes glowed golden before he and Feyre rescued Elain, Feyre noted that Elain’s eyes were clear as they returned to their own camp.

What, if anything, is the significance of Elain having clear eyes at the end of her rescue, when Azriel’s were glowing golden at the start? I have a few thoughts, but haven't made up my mind as to which, or any, of them could be correct. Seeing Azriel’s eyes at this point would also have made for an interesting comparison.

Elain was out of danger, safe with her family and cradled next to Azriel’s chest (this was mentioned twice), so whatever lies between her and Azriel had settled, and was no longer sounding the alarm. I don't think that this is a huge stretch, because we know that Azriel and Elain each bring each other clarity and mental peace.

Elain is still wearing the spelled chains that contain her magic/self (depending on the type of bond), and if these chains were the reason that Azriel felt the lack of her that made him ask where she was, then maybe they are containing her end of the bond from glowing through her eyes?

Elain’s bond with Lucien potentially buries, or overrules, her connection to Azriel, meaning that, again, her eyes couldn't glow.

It’s come to my attention that a good majority of people on this website have a really poor understanding of the conflict between Toph and Katara in “The Chase.” As somebody who loves both characters and their friendship, this irritates me. Without further ado, let’s unpack that in what is in theory supposed to be a meta but turned out more like a rant. 

“Katara was hostile towards Toph because the fact that she’s a gender non-conforming girl made Katara uncomfortable because Katara is obsessed with gender roles.”

Alright, so right off the bat this is just... completely idiotic and clearly fuelled by an agenda (and likely also a lot of projection). First of all, how is Katara of “I don’t want to heal, I want to fight!” fame “obsessed with gender roles?” There’s an entire episode in Book One dedicated to Katara refusing to conform to societal norms for women in the Northern Water Tribe! Katara routinely calls Sokka out on his misogynistic bullshit! (Mind you I adore Sokka but he could be a little twerp at times and Katara was 100% right to challenge him on it) Katara is the feminist icon of ATLA! The fact that people act like Katara is some sort of conservative tradwife who loves gender roles instead of the outspoken feminist and political activist she is makes me incredibly angry.

Second of all, Katara was extremely kind and welcoming towards Toph at first. She gently encouraged her to join in with the group as they all set up camp together as opposed to setting up her own private camp. It’s only when Toph refuses to comply with her that Katara begins to get irritated. Mind you, Toph has her reasons for this, something I’ll get to in a minute, but from Katara’s perspective (key word here is perspective) she’s just being an annoying little stubborn, selfish, lazy, anti-social, entitled brat. Of course we the audience find out later that this isn’t the case at all (or at least in theory we should find out later but apparently some people on here skipped that part), but for all her many talents Katara is not a mind reader and has no way of knowing what’s going on inside Toph’s head, nor does she know her well enough yet to fully grasp the context behind why Toph acts the way she does. Katara is somebody who greatly values community and believes in teamwork, so Toph turning down her warm welcome in favour of “carrying her own weight” likely felt like a slap in the face. Not to mention that she’s already emotionally exhausted from having to constantly mother Aang and Sokka. If I were Katara, I likely would have reacted the same way. 

Oh and I agree that the “the stars look beautiful tonight, too bad you can’t see them, Toph” comment was out of line, but it doesn’t make her a horrible person. It makes her a 14 year old, and 14 year olds can be nasty, especially sleep deprived 14 year olds. Katara is otherwise a very kind and compassionate person. Other characters have said worse than that. Hell, Toph herself has said worse than that. That being said, it was a deeply hurtful comment and I do like to imagine that she apologized for it off-screen. 

“Toph is a lazy, entitled, and classist spoiled rich brat who just didn’t want to do chores and expected other people to wait on her.” 

This is another one that makes me roll my eyes and ask if they even watched the show. First of all, the presumption that Toph is a lazy or entitled person is just... laughable. I feel like people forget that Toph isn’t actually an earthbending prodigy in the way that Azula is a firebending prodigy (I could say more about Azula and how her belief that she was the unshakeable prodigal daughter ultimately caused her downfall and how by the end of the series Zuko is arguably a better firebender than her but this isn’t a meta about Azula and Zuko, now is it?). Nah. Toph was a sheltered kid who discovered she had the ability to earthbend, was told that she could never become great at it because she was blind, and in response said FUCK THAT and decided to work her ass off until she was not only great but the very greatest all thanks to her crazy, stupid, off-the-charts nerve, drive, grit, ambition, and desire to prove people wrong about her. Does that sound like a lazy person to you? Believe me when I say that you do not achieve that kind of skill level by sitting around on your ass and expecting to have things handed to you. And entitled? Don’t make me laugh. Toph hates having things handed to her, that’s one of her defining characteristics. 

As for the implication that she’s classist and enjoys basking in her family’s wealth and being waited on...... are you stupid? Did you even watch the show? Toph absolutely despises everything about her parents’ lifestyle. Growing up like that was traumatizing and restrictive for her. We’re talking about a girl who likes to play around in the mud for fuck’s sake. Toph does not care how much money you have. She never wanted any to begin with. She even says it herself; “I guess I shouldn’t be complaining. They gave me everything I could have wanted. But they never gave me what I actually needed - their love.” Not to mention that she easily could have continued to freeload off her parents wealth but instead chose to sneak out of the house and make her own money doing what she did best; disproving people’s assumptions about her earthbending. Oh and I’ve seen someone point this out before but WWE is generally considered a “low brow” activity that “proper” people frown upon and shouldn’t associate themselves with. Toph fucking loved it. I don’t know how seriously people take the comics, as they often miss the mark when it comes to characterization (Toph’s, however, was generally pretty accurate), but there’s a part in The Rift where Sokka asks her when she’s going to start charging people to learn metalbending and she gets all serious and flat out tells him that she will never do such a thing, because money doesn’t matter to her. Sharing her one true passion with the world is what matters to her. Oh and the part where she basically tells a bunch of rich and sleazy businessmen to fuck off and “stop thinking about money and start thinking about people’s lives” is just... *chef’s kiss* Sorry my thoughts here are so incoherent but this take is so piss poor and makes me so angry that I don’t even know where to start. As for “Toph enjoys being waited on” I just- *sigh* Toph has such a visceral and defensive reaction to any implication that she is unable to take care of herself. Like I said earlier, that’s one of her defining characteristics as well as the reason for her behaviour in “The Chase.” Where are people getting these takes?

You wanna know why Toph acted the way she did in The Chase? Well, first let’s recap her life up to this point. Toph was born the blind daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the Earth Kingdom. From day one her parents treated her like glass due to her disability. She was not allowed to leave her house unsupervised, and even then she was only permitted to walk around the gardens of her home. Every day of her life she was pitied, gaslit, babied, ignored, emotionally neglected, and made to feel ashamed of herself. She was not allowed to make any decisions for herself. She was not allowed to do anything for herself. She was not allowed to talk to other children. She had no friends. Other people didn’t even know she existed on account that her parents kept her locked up in her own home and didn’t tell anybody about her because they were so ashamed to have a blind daughter. Flash forward to “The Chase.” Toph begins to set up her own camp separate from the rest of the Gaang. Considering that she flat out was not socialized as a child and hadn’t even interacted with anybody her own age prior to a few days ago, this is understandable. So then Katara comes up to her and asks her why she isn’t setting up camp with the others as if she’s somehow incapable of taking care of herself (again, this is just what happened from her perspective) like she’s her mom or something and it just angers her because she thought she joined this group to get away from all that and she doesn’t understand how friends work because she’s never had one, all she knows is that apparently this girl thinks she isn’t capable of taking care of herself, and that infuriates her because it’s the exact same bullshit she thought she was running away from.

There’s a lot more I could say about this but I’m sick of typing so yeah in conclusion both of these takes are piss poor and I’m sick of having to read them. Stan Toph, Katara, and their friendship.
