#idk dude's in a weird place of wanting approval and not being sad when he doesn't get it but being happy when he does

[marc--chilton]

(mgv) it goes to show that house is respected and strangely likable by how kutner, a beta, tries so hard to befriend house. house's sparing pack treatment of thirteen and chase isn't unnoticed, and he wants in but like. he doesn't want to be another pup, he just wants the camaraderie to the point of pushing his luck by lingering around house or thirteen on the last days before house goes on leave in hopes of getting runoff attention. thirteen's aware and makes fun of him for it but given that it tends to work in his favor without repercussions for the rest of them, she doesn't mind this weird middleman position so long as they still get work done

[kkyujikoo]

These are my... 2...? Maybe 50, cents about the whole "freejk" thing. I'm gonna be extremely petty and at some points a whole lot sarcastic and it's gonna be long but I had to say it. As soon as I get my computer I'm gonna make it under read more, but the app does whatever it wants, as we know.

Listen, this ain't my first fan rodeo, and not even the first fan rodeo where I've been directly or indirectly accused of being some sort of pervert or delulu. I've been in fandom spaces since I was a teen, I was shipping mlm couples when queerbaiting in TV shows was still something that was seen as the norm rather than some cheap disgusting trick. I was there when fanfic spaces saw "slash" fics as something "different" and to be tagged with a more mature rating even when they just looked at each other.

I was in BBC's Sherlock's fandom and I shipped Johnlock during the hiatus between S3 and S4, at this point I'm not even feeling it when people call me delulu or a weirdo.

So, yeah, take this with a grain of salt: as a person who has seen thousands of times fandom drama unfolding and has lived too much of it... This whole situation is so ridiculous it makes me laugh. Like, yeah, it's maddening how people will blame anyone and everyone because they don't even see their own bias and homophobia, granted, but like... It also makes me laugh for the sheer dumbassery of the reasoning behind it all?

Like... Y'all are getting mad and for what? Because it sure as hell isn't the invasion of privacy, since y'all are watching the same content we're all watching and you're paying to see it the same way everyone else is. If you don't want to "invade their privacy", you should just... Stop watching content that isn't their music videos, RUN episodes or interviews. Memories and any kind of dvd/video that shows what they're doing behind the scenes shouldn't be part of their job as musicians, and therefore we're intruding in their privacy... Or aren't we?

Or maybe it's more nuanced than that: maybe the content they release on dvd/on their official channels is part of their job as entertainers, and it's been approved, and it's a small window THEY are granting us.

You know what's the REAL invasion of privacy and what REALLY invalidates someone autonomy? When you, who maybe aren't even paying to see that content (which is something I understand, like, dude, I'm not covered in money either), DEMAND what kind of behind the scenes content you want when I swear ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has asked you. Once again: you don't like it? You think it's some huge invasion of privacy? Don't buy it. Don't interact with it. Convince your friends to do the same. For all I care, just go and petition to boycott this kind of content. I know you won't do it, because... That's the thing, isn't it? It's not the invasion of privacy that bothers these people.

Y'all aren't mad because we get into their business or else you would have gotten real mad when we were privy to REAL private moments like people crying their hearts out.

No, no. Y'all are mad because it's "shipping content" and "fanservice" which apparently bothers you because it lacks authenticity.

Pick a side, lovelies: either you DON'T want to invade their privacy, and thus all the content they release should be focused on what fans want to see, or you WANT to know how they interact TRULY in private.

And here's the catch: "shipping content" can be anything. Shipping existed WAAAAAYYY before the word for it was invented, same way with fanfictions. Shipping means, literally, "seeing two (or more) people interact and thinking they would make a good romantic pair". That's it. That's quite literally it. Everything else is just some nuance of the concept of shipping, but at its core, it's nearly impossible to ban all shipping content when it's a group of seven people, because they should for real go in social distancing mode to do so. Most people who have parasocial relationships tend to have "ships" whether they know it or not, because we've all, at least once, looked at a dynamic from the outside and thought "oh man they look cute together". So, even if, o dear ones, your wishes were granted... What the hell do you mean by "shipping" content? Should they just film solo clips, avoiding talking about the other members? But wouldn't that be fanservice, since it's focused on pleasing the fans? (Which, ultimately, is what fanservice MEANS, and I hate to break it to y'all but the whole concept behind entertainment and thus all the content BTS releases it's... For the fans. Like, they're not going out of their way to just meet our expectations but they're certainly doing fanservice by the mere act of releasing bonus content.)

But it's not even quite that, is it? Because no one bats an eye if it's Tae kissing Nj's cheek. I've seen no hashtag against everyone - and I mean literally every one of them - wolf whistling at Nj. It's okay to show intimacy... Because they're bandmates and it's okay to be close to someone who you see basically 24/7, I hear you. And it's also okay when people see that and gush over that closeness, because it's such a nice thing to see.

Soooooo... We've got to free JK from whom exactly? From what?

Are y'all mad cause people pointed out there's very little way a bruise that stayed for a whole ass night could be a quick bite? Because that doesn't harm jk, at most makes fun of him and jimin and their poor excuses (seriously, guys, next time consider using mosquitoes or "I was doing stuff". It'll be equally embarrassing but at least the meme will be funny), and it's literally... A fair observation. Like. It's a hickey, people are gonna make jokes about seeing a hickey and poor excuses of covering it up in the exact same way they're gonna make jokes over jimin falling out of chairs. And yeah, a hickey is AT LEAST something that happens in a sensual context. Like, I could understand "people who are extremely familiar with each other will have different body language/touch in areas where usually you wouldn't see friends touching each other", but that's not. Not a hand on the thigh. It's a hickey on the neck. I don't even know a more stereotypical placing for a hickey. But once again, are y'all mad because someone is pointing it out? Because that's not being delulu or even being a shipper, really, it's just commenting on something that was approved to be shown and discussed in something that was released BY THEM.

Are y'all mad at hybe for showing something that literally fell onto their hands? Cause like, unless someone (I'm counting on Jimin, since as we know Jungkook was busy spinning him round and round and had both his hands busy) called at hybe headquarters to say "yo bang pd substitute, is it okay if I give my friend jk here a hickey? Cause he's being really annoying rn and he has to pay", I highly doubt anyone expected Jungkook to come to rehearsal all neatly marked up. Or idk, maybe someone at hybe asked them "we need Jungkook to come in with a hickey but refuse to say it's a hickey, so that fans will feel reeeeally served." That sounds perfectly plausible too. Or a good marketing strategy.

Now, if you're a big company and your objective is to have some footage of the rehearsals for a concert, and the fandom is too good at noticing stuff for their own good, and one of your artists comes in with a very visible mark, and he and his bff bropal4lyfe come n with a story about how they were playing and a bite happened, you've got three choices: 1. Cut the artist out of aaaaalll the footage. Someone would have noticed the "bite mark" anyway, you best believe that. If you don't want anyone to notice it, you gotta cut him in most of the footage where it's visible. 2. Keep the hickey, discard the explanations. You could do that, but also it would feel a lot more unfaithful to everyone involved. Also they clearly worked their ass off to invent an explanation, come on! They truly tried to do their best inventing something that was not "it's a mosquito bite", they should get some credit! 3. Keep the bite, keep the explanation.

Notice how none of these solutions include the biting never happening because... They couldn't prevent it? The only thing they have any control over is how they're framing each "accident". And that's not an easy job.

I applaud you, people on the editing team.

So... On whom should we cast the blame now? Ah, yes, I think it's finally time for the ultimate scapegoat of this fandom: Jimin. Which is funny, cause... You know... If this were really about privacy, or being "victims" of shipping... This should be about freeing him too, you know? But obviously Jimin does it for attention, while Jungkook, poor angel that he is, doesn't even know what shipping is.

Furthermore, don't we all know how much Jimin imposes himself in Jungkook's life? To the point where he, multimillionaire man feels compelled to share a car with Jimin even if they're both late in the process. And can't you see how uncomfortable he is, draping himself over Jimin, making Jimin drap himself over him?

Oh lordy, truly such an awful eight years Jungkook spent, choosing to have vacations with someone who made him uncomfortable, spending free time with him, even having to suck his ear in public to the point you can see his saliva just because Jimin was sad :( truly an all-around bad time for Jungkook, as evidenced by alllll those times when he said Jimin was pretty, cute, and all-around knowing every little thing about Jimin. I absolutely concur, the dude would be so much more happy if jimin was not in his life.

Did that sound weird and absolutely ridiculous and a really absurd joke? Because that's what y'all sound like to me. Like. Jungkook is out there living his best life, getting hickeys and showered in affection and y'all paint him as a fucking martyr??? I'm sure he's really truly desperate that Jimin holds him in such high regards 😭😭😭 I can see him suffering whenever he starts doing his own serendipity rendition 😭😭 and when he claimed you are me, I am you as his and Jimin's only 😭😭😭 I cannot believe this poor baby 😭😭😭

I've reached a point where every time I hear this stuff I laugh because the levels of twisting reality when it comes to jikook are extraordinary, Jungkook will have a literally blissed out face and people will cry in outrage.

But coming back to my point: let's pretend you're not mad at Jimin and the possibility that jikook are dating: are y'all mad... At the hickey? Because at this point it seems like the only feasible solution. And if you are, do not worry: I'm sure Jungkook's skin was throughly healed by his boo. A kiss soothes even the worst pain, doesn't it?

Yandere BNHA Boys pt 2

Okay, this is a continuation of the first yandere ones I did because I wrote that in basically a night and was too tired to do more, I'm probably gonna post some after for the pro heroes and villains if I have time, I might finish those on the weekend then post it.

This is just a bunch of headcanons I have about the boys in BNHA and what they’d be like as yanderes. Only the really fluffy or good things about them listed here. Neither of these works are a good depictions of a real yandere and make sure to be careful to identify yandere traits in real people around you. It’s a very dangerous world and stay safe!

sorry if you were waiting for me to come out with these and I literally took forever lol, link to the first one is here. It's basically just me comforting myself with the sweet things that I think they would do as yanderes.

Warnings: Brainwashing, blood, gore, death, trans headcanons, body dysmorphia, nonbinary they/he Sero, they/them pronouns + nonbinary headcanons for Tokoyami, he/they nonbinary headcanons with Shinsou, a little NSFW because if I don't specify then they are aged up (around 20-25 is where I imagine the timeline that they actually captured you and have a hero carrier going for them already), manipulation, regular yandere things, kinda just turns into dumbass horknee headcanons at some point after Shinsou (sorry lmfao), objectification

Sero Hanata

so basically the first time they saw you they immediately wanted to come up to you

they love to give you back hugs because once you stop trying to fight them he's gonna be so honored you finally trust him

Big time slut [non-derogetory] for you

Likes to have an apartment that's high up, probably a secured penthouse with lots of windows

If you're afraid of heights they will get a ground bed for you two, they would also vibe with a low hanging hammock if you allow it

they really really like just putting you on a custom made leash, not inherently in a sexual way just in general likes to have it look like that with their tape on you at all times

they really really like it when you come to them for hugs and comfort

If you're a trans reader, if you want a binder he will get you one as soon as you ask, cried when you told him about it.

they cried way more than you though...

Was very accepting as an nb person as well

they custom made you a tape binder of his

Kinda as a joke but high key felt like they were gonna combust at the thought of you wearing that for them

Takes you to pride but you cannot speak

only takes you to pride after they are 1000% sure that you're not gonna speak to anyone but them

Takes you to it as a part of their float because they'd been invited onto the Hero Float

You are in a costume that's exactly like his, helmet and everything, you aren't allowed to be looked at

After that though, it's gonna be your choice to go or not to go

they trust you a little more after you run away from some assholes though and after that sometimes lets you take your helmet off during pride, you have to give them a lot of kisses though

When/if you ever consider any type of surgery he is 110% on board

they demand that you have to have it performed by someone who has done this a million times before, trusts no one else

If there's a way for you to go through it without the surgery they're excited but he's more excited if there is surgery because they love the idea of you being so cuddly and clinging to them for their comfort

Tokoyami Fumikage

haha they're in love with you

like, intensely in love with you the moment they first meet you

Dark shadow thinks you're adorable but says nothing more about their obsession with you

when you met them before UA they absolutely cannot handle being around you in a 10-foot radius

Eventually, though they do try and become a friend of yours

After that, it's a hop on the manipulation train, my dude

they basically make you see them as your savior from a mean uncaring world

they love talking to you about things that make you happy and loving you in little ways

hugs, hand holding, a lot of time it's just a little peck (haha) on the cheek

they love living with you though, like really love it

they like baking and making dinner for you

but especially baking

like really, baking

the manipulation they use makes it seem like everything is okay when you only talk to them so that's what you do and to you, it seems so much better than anything you could do

they haven't come out to you by the time you come out to them so your trans journey really helps them figure things like that out as well

The first time you explain that gender is a made-up construct they're like "yeah......isn't that how everyone feels? Like, not a gender????" we love this for them

you both kind of heal each other through this process

they like seeing you when you're most comfortable so they get you as many binders as you need

also gets you a custom binder like Sero but with feather designs, not like stupid printable patterns but something that is soft and the softness isn't feathers it's regular fluffy cloth

idk I'm not a designer that's why I gave up and became a writer lmao

they also get you a compression corset because they're emo

if there is surgery it takes a lot of time to convince them

they don't ever want you to regret anything they helped you with so it takes a lot of long-winded conversations about it

there was a lot of nervousness on their part because (this is just my headcanon) they were almost convinced to get surgery to construct their face to look human-like

they had a lot of their family tell them that, because of the way they looked, they had less of a chance to become a hero, they were immensely traumatized by this and thus wants to make absolutely sure you were okay with this

but when they finally find themself comforted by you about it it happens quickly and in the safest way you could possibly imagine

Shinso Hitoshi

Shinsou didn't want to approach you at all, he was so scared you'd run away or tell him he's a villain

they always thought that they weren't good enough for you

he loved you but you needed to say hi first

and you did

so he whisked you away

they like to just brainwash you into tasting certain types of food when you're craving them instead of just getting you food

he likes to talk to you in a voice like he would talk to a kitten, not like husky or anything sexy, but something cute and adorable

especially when you're brainwashed and can't say anything to him

He likes to give you lots of soft stuff like I'm talking pillows upon pillows and squishmallows

once he gets his own house they get it in a place that's more comforting in the dark than in the light

they really like the dark and outdoorsy vibe anyway so if they choose a place somewhere in the forest to keep you what's the added bonus if no one can hear you scream?

a little bit of spice; he has this whole a/b/o fantasy (idk it's his vibes that he'd read that fanfic and stuff lmao) and kinda treats you like you were an omega

sometimes if you guys do have sex they'll brainwash you to act like an omega or once he's more experienced with bodily manipulation involving their quirk they'll make you do all of the......omega things

when you come out to them, if you're trans, they're definitely gonna not care

like if you need comfort and stuff about it they will not make a big deal about it

he legit is like "okay .....can I still fuck you or?????"

HE JUST GIVES OFF REALLY HORKNEE VIBES OKAY?????

definitely brainwashes you into not feeling dysphoric anymore though

like loves it when you come up all sad to him and uncomfy just to ask them to brainwash you

he melts over you cuddling them after those times though

if you want surgery they're gonna make sure that it's between him and the doctors that y'all are there

like no one knows you're there, completely off radius, in and out like nothing (he's basically a cryptid in the woods by the time you guys have the surgery, so they wanna make sure no one questions it)

Monoma Neito

bold of you to assume that man can express literally anything when he wants to just sit you on his lap and look at your pretty face

love at first sight taken literally but not in a shallow way

he loves just having you around him

kinda treats you as an accessory at times, talks like you're a purse or something and people don't really comment but it's really freaking them out sometimes when you don't speak up on it

likes to say he's the only one to understand you cause he's afraid you'd leave him

a hardcore fan of collars though

definitely has lots of jewelry that represents him even though you don't go out he still loves the idea of it

big time cook

loves providing for you, never lets you do a damn thing other than watching pre-approved cartoons and hobbies

absolute fucking disaster about hugging you

always has to be touching you

he thinks you're so fucking gorgeous and body worships you even out of the bedroom

if you're trans he will definitely be weird about it at first

he's just diet transphobic

he's not denying it but sometimes he's like "Are you sure???" and stuff

he clears this up with the help of you being pissed enough to not eat or talk to him until he apologizes

he then educates himself on it and comes to the conclusion that he was in fact being an asshole

talks to you about binders and stuff like that

doesn't really believe in surgery, he would never allow you to do that just because it would be too painful for him to see you go through

he instead literally searches the whole fucking globe for a person with a body-altering quirk to make sure you don't get hurt

he seeks out homophobes, transphobes, and other dumbasses on the regular just to kill them like literally it just started out for your approval but now it's just for fun

Anyway, the villain one (if I do it) will probably become just horknee brain rot cause I am a slut. Request some stuff and I'll try to put up some works if y'all want ig.

[anxiousdepressedintrovert]

Otome Thursday

IT’S BRAM!!!!

Y’all, you have no idea how excited I was for this route/series to start. I wasn’t a big fan of Ravi.

ANYWAY

Bram Route

Episode 1 (The free one 😉)

-I really dig the beginning of the route.

-Like a land hidden from even the Elves? Nice

-Also also, I like that this series, Love and Legends, AND Reigning Passions all take place in the same universe and it makes sense. Unlike the more modern series where the crew just sticks characters in the stories to say “Hey, look, notice these characters”

-Sorry. I’m ranting

-Focusing now

-I named my MC Mari Rya

-She’s beautiful

-She’s got a little, sprite/fairy/thing named Ness

-I love them

-I only know the name of the new land because I played the Ravi short but it’s called Tallav

-Mari’s got a reputation as a researcher.

-But this is also a lifelong dream of hers.

-Ness doesn’t speak (what I’m going to call) English, but Mari understands her anyway

-Ness uses They/Them pronouns. RESPECT IT

-Magic time!

-Ness magic time!

-Mari can feel all the living things. I feel like that’s not a human thing.

-But I will reserve judgement

-She’s had a rune stone since she was a baby. Yeah, she’s def not human.

-Holy shit a bear!

-…with a shield and a spear on it’s back.

-Subtle

-The way these sprites move are fucking hilarious

-Mari said “Nope not today”

-Can’t out run a bear. What does this bitch do?

-Drop down to play dead. Cause that’s totally gonna stop a bear from chewing on your spleen

-the “bear” is able to turn her over to her back (duh)

-it turns into a man and…oh what a man

-this CG is so fucking cute!

-he’s like “Is she alive?”

-She’s like “the fuck is he doing?”

-I’m like “Squeeeee they’re both so stupid rn”

-Oh those eyes…

-I haven’t been this in love since Razi. Or Renzei.

-Oh no! headbutt. Gives me a headache just reading it.

-Fuck look at those abs.

-LVS really knows what they’re doing with these character designs

-And Mari’s being thirsty too. It’s not just me

-Whew chile, the way she describes this man. Girl,

-Thank you, Ness, someone has their head on properly

-Never mind. They’re just as thirsty

-I still wanna know how Mari can talk to them

-He knows she’s a human cause she’s wearing clothes. Good lord this series is gonna be a riot in the first couple seasons

-Oh Mari…you’re sounding very Colonizerish

-I don’t like that

-Though it is kinda cute how she nerds out

-I can see her doing this with any thing she comes across.

-Thank you, Ness. Time and Place Mari!

-Invasive is one word for it

-Not much to write.

-She’s gushing. He’s listening. They’re both hot

-oh no, not an eyebrow lift!

-from both of them!

-I can’t do this.

-This bitch just walks away from a question ‘cause she got caught staring!

-I can’t! This is me. Running away from all my problems

-Bram follows cause, y’know, stranger in the woods

-Bram likes Ness. It’s adorable

-Anthropologist=Skald? Maybe.

-Apparently rune reading is impossible, so is befriending a Puck (Ness)

-Mari is def not a human. At least not fully

-See, I feel like if she showed Bram the rune stone she carried with her, that would help bridge this gap.

-But y’know. Whatever.

-Oh they are two bull-headed people

-He’s got (understandable) prejudices against humans/bipeds

-She’s like “MY RESEARCH”

-I’m like “Girl, they’re living people. Respect their boundaries. And Dude, Learn a little”

- She’s very forceful with the fact that she ‘needs to do her research’

-It’s very Colonizerish and I don’t approve.

-Mari, You can’t prove that the Duke who hired you only wanted you to do pure research.

-Ha, Bram called her pretty

-Ohhh Mahuwin Villiage

-Cue Victor from Underworld: “YOU MUST BE JUDGED!!”

-damn he called her insidious

-Mari…honey. Going to a village, you’ll get to see how they live and see how the justice system works. Calm down.

-Of course, no one’s ever been so unwelcoming. You’ve been dealing with other humans and elves.

-Girl!

-I’m judging you so hard rn

-Whew chile that took a lot outta me

Episode 2

-Awww I do feel bad for Ness tho

-They’re scared too

-Bruh, Bram JUST said he doesn’t know what an anthropologist is. You barely related it to a Skald. Showing him your notes means nothing.

-Bram, dude, I get you’re supposed to protect but you’re seeing enemies in the wrong people. Though I get why you’d suspect her.

-The Dinae have no secrets between their tribes (I’m assuming) so there’d be no need for an anthropologist to go looking for old history.

-Also he called her cute (again)

-Ohkay. I draw the line at you accusing Mari of torturing Ness.

-Only a heartless monster would lay hands on Ness.

-I need you to think baby: WHYY WOULD NESS STAY? If Pucks are magical creatures, surely you don’t think that Ness would be foolish enough to stay with a powerless human.

-Oh. Don’t make me insult your intelligence

-Oh don’t make me

-Mari. Don’t do anything stupid. Please. He’s actually being nice. In a weird way. Taking you to be judged. Someone else would’ve just killed you

-Mari…you can’t do your job in someone else’s country without permission. To get permission, you need to go to a village.

-I’m starting to question your intelligence

-Oh good. The bull-headedness is back

-No shit it’s more than just a job! I think you would have gathered that from the fact that to enter Tallav you had to pass a BEAR statue

-Oh no not the sad face

-I know LVS is gonna use that face to get money out of me in future scenes

-Mari, you’re both stubborn. And if I had it my way, you’d’ve gone with him already

-MARI! HE’S NOT A SOLDIER!

-ARUGH

- Not the type of roleplay I thought I’d be reading in this story but sure. Have some hearts

-I wanna smack her so bad and the first season’s not over yet.

-Usually the urge to smack doesn’t kick in until at least season 2.

-She’s a record setter

-Uh oh Bram, you called her an interrogator.

-And he STILL doesn’t fix it!

-They’re both so rude

-Ok, so he gets the why.

-We’re making progress

-This woman can’t let her thirst rest for five minutes.

-I mean same but come on

-Ah! Progress on both sides!

-Still don’t like how forceful Mari is about her job. How would she feel if her job put people in danger?

-You kinda did Mari. You kinda did say “I’m going to do what I want anyway”

-Not in those exact words but enough

-My point!

Bram: You ever think that if we wanted to be bothered by any kingdoms, we would have officially contacted them

That’s my point

At the same time, Bram and his fellow Dinae have their fellow prejudice against bipeds. As I said, mostly justified but they act that they can’t adapt or change

-Mari, interest isn’t always flattering…we aren’t in high school

-Now she’s running away. From a guy that can turn into a bear

-I’m very much questioning her intelligence now.

-Cause she dumb dumb.

-And thus begins an infuriating game of human and bear

-Oh yeah Mari, cause you can totally break the hold of a guy WHO CAN TURN INTO A BEAR

-As Mari is kicking and screaming, Bram: Am I hurting you?

-LMFAOOOO

-Awww Ness trying to help.

-Bitch. He puts you down and you climb a tree. Like bears don’t climb trees?

-Thank you Ness for talking some sense into this stupid girl

-Why is she so defensive?!

-Why can’t they just give me the option of “Fine.” FOR ONCE

-Seriously Mari? If you had stumbled upon a village during your wandering that really HATED humans, the chances of them killing you are SUPER fucking high. Doing it this way is arguably a lot safer

-YO  WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!

-That looked like a swamp deer  monster from It Lives Beneath

-FUCK THAT

-RUN BITCH…FUCKING RUUUNNNN

-Why is run never an option when we are clearly outmatched?

-Oh god why does it have to look at the screen!!!

-I don’t like that

-and ewwwww they did detail on the muscles

-Yeah no shit it’s targeting Mari, Bram!

-I think that’s pretty obvious!

-Thank again Ness for saving One Stupid Bitch

-We…we get to RIDE Bram?

-I can (and will) make so many jokes about that

-I’ve already restrained myself from making Bear jokes. So, you’ll deal with that

Episode 3

-Hehehehehehehhehe

-We rode him

-Hopefully this won’t be last time

-and the next time won’t be in bear form

-Ohkay. I’m back. The chapter’s loaded

-Wait one more

-And we can use that rope for something else too

-Idk how to do the lenny face so……just imagine it

-Ok. NOW I’m done.

-Finally, a decent option. THANK YOU, BRAM

-Yeah Mari get that through your thick fucking skull. He’s a defender. He defends.

-Awwww Bram isn’t comfortable with praise. I’m gonna take every opportunity to do it now

-Mari, this is why we don’t talk shit up.

-Hehe still riding him

-Ewww that thing is back.

-Plus side?

-FIGHT SCENE

-Oh nooooo Bram’s hurt

-MARI CONTROL YOUR THIRST THE MAN IS INJURED

-Thank you, Ness! I swear they’re the only character I haven’t been pissed at

-Mari begins to nerd out over plants. Honestly same

-OMG HIS BLUSH

-GUYS. HIS BLUSH

-The stuff of nightmares was an Abberation. I like my name better so it and all its freaky brethren will be called The Stuff of Nightmares

-And Bram’s back to being suspicious. Sigh. And we were having such a nice time

-The Dinae don’t have pets and that’s the saddest thing I’ve read all day.

-Mari just realized that Bram’s been naked this entire time.

-Lol

-Oh so, if Bram trusted Mari, he’d happily tell her everything she wanted to know.

-Hmmmmmm

-I certainly can’t say no to that face. So neither can you Mari. Here. Have some hearts

-See, they say fur covered thigh, all I hear is, cuddling for the winter.

-OMG SHE COULD SQUISH HIS PAW BEANS

Lola & Astrid

Lola: [come in to get your tattoo then, which is on the back of her neck/shoulder blade moment which isn't the worst but I think it vibrates on those bones pretty hard, also the embroidery technique/colour will make it worse/more time, overall vibe a sassy, confident bitch but lowkey nervous on this tattoo] Astrid: [I like to think she's already in there and probably has been for hours because whether it's big or small on this occasion they obvs let her stop whenever she wants and for as long as she wants cos they know her so we just chilling with the dog BFF who goes everywhere with her lowkey and both having a drink of water casually so the dog can go up to her like hey gal] Lola: [have loads of pictures of her with dogs and cats, so gonna say we're an animal hoe and gonna be extra over this lil dog then AFTER you've stroked and loved upon it 'Shit, I've not distracted it, have I? I'm so sorry' like when you aren't meant to with blind people service dogs] Astrid: [just straight up talking to this dog like she's a person like are you okay, do you wanna go and the dog's like nah I'm fine by giving a Lola a toy or something like I think we should play with this gal] Lola: [straight up throwing this toy like we aren't in a tattoo shop like please be careful, probably getting told off by a grumpy tattoo dude and just loling like whoops 'cos the kind of carefree hoe we are 'what's your name?' but we are talking to the dog] Astrid: [being like 'did you forget we like rules?' @ the dog as if she caused this trouble herself and full naming her like a cross mum but we not cross we're more playful about it because autistic bants] Lola: ['so distinguished, suits you madam' and shakes her paw, then touching one of Astrid's leg tattoos as is clearly ground level with this dog rn 'that's gorgeous, how many do you have?'] Astrid: [when you an affectionate af person but you don't know her like that so then you can't answer that question and she must think you're being so rude sorry gal, but let's say the tattoo person answers for you cos probably did most of them but not all so gets it wrong so then you have to answer whatever the right number is] Lola: [you really shouldn't grab people but that's the kinda hoe you are so that's the vibe lol, undeterred but do let go of her leg thanks, just talking about ALL the tattoo ideas you have] Astrid: [at least you can likewise go off about that babe because they are literally another thing you collect/comforts you and makes you feel safe so like you always wanna get more, try not to actually talk over her and listen but it's okay if you do, she'll get over it] Lola: [just listening intently anyway and bowing to her superior knowledge on it 'cos you wanna get more even though you have yet to start this one and are gonna be sobbing in a sec lolll, very seriously turning to the dog 'Winnie, will you hold my hand?' then turning back to Astrid and rolling her eyes 'my girlfriend was too shamed to be seen with me'] Astrid: [just going OFF about aftercare too before she's even started this tattoo because as far as you're concerned there is only one right way to do it and everything else is wrong and a huge no, the grumpy tattoo dude from earlier who Lola's gonna end up having is just gonna try and be like nah she's wrong, this this and this is fine but shh sir tbh. The dog just grinning through all this cos she's buzzing about the energy 'She's not ever going to be heavy enough for proprioceptive stimming but it's still calming when she lies with you, she's soft and she smells nice, does that make sense?' her confused face when she then doesn't understand what she means about her girlfriend not wanting to be here though like um why] Lola: [just ignoring the man like the true lesbian you are, be careful girl, nodding 'total sense, Miss Winifred is a vibe' and giving her an approving sniff like yes 'it smells like bleach in here' probably a good thing babe but we're not happy lol 'ugh, 'cos she's so tough and I'm going to embarrass her' shakes her head like oh girlfriends] Astrid: [repeating back to Winnie that she's a vibe because you like the sound of that thank you but whatever you're gonna say about how it smells in here is interrupted by grumpy tattoo dude complaining that it's because Astrid always has to OTT clean up the station etc and blah before they start, like don't out her like that sir and don't be a dick so we're not happy about his vibe rn] Lola: ['you should be happy she's doing the hard work for you' even though we were the one complaining about the smell, we're not about it] Astrid: ['he's not a happy person' hahaha suck it sir] Lola: ['that's so sad, what happened?' oh gal] Astrid: [just telling her this dude's life story like he's not right there because we don't understand sarcasm bye] Lola: [when you weren't even being sarcastic but you were not expecting her to reply and you know he's not gonna be thrilled so you put your finger to your lips like shh but smiling at her so she knows you aren't being a dick like stfu] Astrid: [being like oh do you want some quiet, like offering to get them to turn down the music they always blast in tattoo places] Lola: ['can we change the station?' like this rock shit is not a #vibe honey and getting out your phone and aux cord from your bag] Astrid: [just like 'it's not a vibe [name of your tattoo gal] can we change it to a vibe?' because we're saying vibe now and obvs this woman will cos she's a good egg] Lola: [putting on your femme gay girl bubblegum pop playlist like every other person in here/grumpy tattoo man is going to be taking the piss but we aren't aware 'cos we're that bitch and just dancing around like it's the clerb] Astrid: [Astrid and Winnie are vibing, picking this dog up like do you wanna dance lil queen as if we're not in the middle of a tattoo sesh] Lola: [hyping them up in a very yasss queen manner and then getting interrupted by this dude being like are you done pissing about and just twerking at him like mwah 😘 as you climb your ass up onto this bench, then being like 'WINNIE, I NEED YOU' very dramatically with grabby hands and all, this man like oh my god] Astrid: [we're loling at her antics and then putting Winnie on her lap because this angel will look after you gal so we can finally get some more of our own tattoo done] Lola: [good incentive not to drop this dog or shriek in her ears gal, 'cos gonna be so OTT about this pain obvs, all of this painting a picture as why your butch tatted gf did not wanna be here, just 🥺🥺🥺 at Astrid 'does it hurt you?' 'cos gf popping off like it doesn't which is a lie like when people say childbirth doesn't like admit it even if you can hack it] Astrid: ['not as much as other things' because we matter of fact about it instead of being like her girlfriend and pretending nothing is happening here] Lola: [we aren't really listening anyway just talking to talk here 'beauty is pain'] Astrid: [just repeating that like hmmm idk ' you're saying you feel more beautiful now, they'll want to put that on the signs outside'] Lola: ['They've got better promo' and giving Astrid's tattooist a look, 'cos the insecurity jumped out when pain] Astrid: [just going off about how much you like it here and you've told everyone about it like lol peeps have said they should pay me] Lola: ['yours are so cool' and asking her why she got that one and when etc etc] Astrid: [telling her everything even if like some of this shit is personal like tell me those roses aren't because of Ro you can't] Lola: [when you're an oversharer so you are 1. not phased by this 2. can say how this is for your abuela who's dying] Astrid: [genuinely is upset about this and asking loads of questions about her like obvs how old is she but also about her as a person and what she likes and how she was living before this] Lola: [we was already crying from the pain so you know, just carry on lmao, telling her that you live with her, that she's your only family and she's a bomb cook and she loves you even though you're gay and you go to bingo together on Thursdays] Astrid: [when you're just like are you gonna live with your girlfriend and cook together and go to bingo with her] Lola: ['I don't know' big sigh 'Do you live with your dad?'] Astrid: [hardcore like BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO because we're so upset about this like we can't answer your question until we get one that's okay here] Lola: [reaching over like hey it's okay 'I'll work it out'] Astrid: [just like oh yeah I do live with my dad btw after ages has passed and she's probably forgot she even asked but we needed a sec there] Lola: ['what's he like?'] Astrid: ['he's weird but not like I'm weird, just not how everyone says a dad should be-' trying to find a way to word wtf Drew is like lol 'he doesn't like rules or keeping things clean oh and he's a really shit driver who plays music too loud and he dresses too young'] Lola: ['sounds like every dude I've ever met' lols, wiping her tears 'has he always been like that or is it a midlife crisis moment?'] Astrid: [lols too because oh Drew you hot mess 'he fell out of his pram and wasn't claimed for 7 days'] Lola: [nods solemnly 'mine too'] Astrid: ['but he makes sure my food doesn't touch and never makes me eat anything I know will be fucking gross and he took me to go get Winnie' like but I do love him] Lola: [gives Winnie love and smiles 'not all bad then' pauses 'mine used to take me to ballet, and never get bored of me showing him my routines'] Astrid: [just going off about this Barbie ballet movie called Barbie and the pink shoes like have you seen it because I figure why not have dolls as a special interest, thanks Ro, though she'd fuck with Bratz and Monster High more] Lola: [talking about the red shoes 'cos assumedly what it is based on and saying you'll look up the Barbie version online 'when Ren is at work'] Astrid: [just chatting about it to the point that she doesn't even need to see it cos you've told her everything but letting her know that Barbie isn't your fave and making sure she knows what you fuck with more like this is vital info okay] Lola: ['Like Yasmin is technically the Hispanic queen like me but I do be looking more Jade and she fucks with cats so ME' 'cos definitely a girl who was into dolls and the bratz are making a resurgence in the culture anyway huns] Astrid: [we're living a life where we only accept the OG's so of course she gotta be that blonde hun who is described as wide-eyed and bubbly and loves her friends more than anything in the world so pop off but we not fucking with soccer and we gotta let Lola know] Lola: ['I see it' like just being like you're an angel there nbd] Astrid: [being like I do support cheese pizza ONLY but thai curry wtf] Lola: [loling like 'food isn't food unless it has at least two carbs and all the cheese you can throw at it'] Astrid: [just listing off everything Jade likes in the known world like do you like these things or no] Lola: [replying like this is a vogue 73 questions I bet tattoo dude is delighted lol] Astrid: [we're having fun here sir excuse you] Lola: ['do you have a Jade in your group already?'] Astrid: [The calming force that she is, Winnie is the group's Yasmin, she can handle a sob story, as you've seen so that's wrong' looks at her like soz gal I know you're offended 'my other best friend is most like Sasha, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that when she isn't black though'] Lola: [looks around at how white everyone here deffo is like I won't tell on you, claps her hands like yay 'we can be friends then'] Astrid: [when you're clearly buzzing about this, giving her your phone like this is my number take it thank you] Lola: [saves it as angel, oh that won't cause any drama with your gf no no lol, taking the tattoo dudes biro or whatever and being like hold out your hand? but thankfully NOT just doing it 'cos she may not vibe gal] Astrid: [at first is like ?? because hasn't connected the dots of what she wants her to do and why but then is like oh okay and does] Lola: [being like to the tattoo lady 'now make it permanent' loling like hohoho] Astrid: [loling 'when I know you better' like we considering this] Lola: [so flattered like omg me and blowing kisses] Astrid: [gotta get some more water cos we recognising that we're getting a bit too buzzing rn so obvs asking her if she wants some] Lola: [just like lifesaver 'cos we been crying so hard over here lol] Astrid: [gotta get some for Winnie too even if she don't want because that's a routine hun] Lola: [live your best life babe you deserve it] Astrid: [let's say her tattoo is then finally done and she abruptly leaves like it was nice to meet you I gotta go now bye because it kills me how they all did that on that show every time] Lola: [the only time you've been shooketh 'cos you'd be a hang around saying bye for ages bitch] Lola: WHERE DID YOU GO?!

Seventeen: Fate & Desire (End)

Characters: Junhui x reader (featuring seventeen)

Genre/warnings: soulmate au, host club au, fluff, some crack

Word count: 1,187

Summary: You know you’ve found your soulmate when your pendant turns red. It’s just your luck you meet an entire host club of 13 boys – save for your best friend, Jeonghan, and his boyfriend – all at once. Your pendant is now red, and all of theirs are always hidden in their shirts. But one person in particular kind of makes you want to forget about the whole “fate” thing.

a/n: so it’s been a while since I posted the last part, and I kept saying I’d make a short epilogue or something but I never did. well, I reached 3k today (and then went down to 2,998 so I was sad, but then got back to 3k thankfully. idk today’s been a shit day anyway) and I wanted to do something to celebrate, and the host club au was probably one of my more popular series, so I figured I’d finally finish it. it’s short and it’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s something. thank you to everybody who has followed me up until this point, and I hope you enjoyed reading Fate & Desire as much as I loved writing it :]

“So why were you so snappy when we met outside the coffee shop?” you asked from where you were clinging to Jun’s back as he walked to his dorm with Soonyoung by his side.

It had been a few days since Junhui confessed, but the two of you easily fell into place. Now that he wasn’t trying to push you away, Jun was warm and caring and possibly the cheesiest person you’d ever met. You enjoyed being around him -- actually, you’d spend all your time with him if you could.

“I just wanted coffee, actually,” he shrugged with a laugh. “There’s no deep explanation.”

“Honestly, he’s a dick when he’s tired.” Soonyoung confirmed. “It was nice waking up this morning without someone yelling at me to stop snoring so loud.”

“Then why did you come with Jeonghan this morning to check on _____?” Jun asked him. “I should’ve yelled at you for snoring just to fuck with you.”

“He asked if you came home last night. I didn’t want to lie to him; I don’t lie,” he shrugged. “So I said you weren’t home, he assumed you went home with her, so I went with him to see if he’d explode or something.”

Jun tilted his head back to look up at you, “Has Jeonghan always been your dad?”

“Not since I decided to get my own apartment. It got worse when the whole assault-on-campus thing got worse,” you told them. “He’ll probably get worse because now I’m a ‘real woman’ or something.”

“I thought you became a ‘real woman’ after losing your virginity?” Soonyoung commented, sounding like he was just talking to himself more than anyone else.

“Does that make you a real woman, then?” Jun asked him with a laugh, playfully pushing his shoulder. “Congrats!”

Soonyoung flipped his imaginary long hair over his shoulder, “Out of the three of us, I’m the realest woman.”

“You don’t know if I’ve lost my virginity or not!” you said defensively.

“Have you?” Jun asked, half joking but half curious.

“I’m tutoring you in math, not my sexual history that may or may not exist.”

“You’re not tutoring me in anything, so you can tell me!” Soonyoung sang.

Once the three of you arrived in front of their building, Jun carefully placed you on the ground before interlocking his fingers with yours.

It was weird. After that night, the two of you were acting like a normal couple now. It was as if whatever bad things had happened between the two of you had never happened. You woke up on the couch together, ate breakfast together, and then had to explain your relationship to Jeonghan and Josh when they’d shown up at your apartment to check on you. It was weird, but a good weird.

“Why do you need to know?” Jun asked him as they walked into the building and went to the elevator.

“I can give her tips!” he said brightly, standing between the two of you and tossing his arms around your shoulders. “Jeonghan’s her dad and I’m her cool step-mom!”

“...I’m assuming Joshua is my real mom?” you guessed.

Soonyoung looked at Junhui with an approving nod, “You got a smart one, dude. Plus, I don’t have to put up with little miss ‘Wen Junhui is the love of my life’ ever again. God, I don’t know if her or that girl that’s obsessed with you is worse.”

The elevator opened and the three of you stepped out. “I thought Bohee was the one who was obsessed with him.”

“There’s the original girl, and there’s Bohee.” Soonyoung explained. “It’s a whole thing. We can explain some other time.”

The three of you arrived at the dorm and Soonyoung followed you both in, flopping down on his bed and watching as the two of you got out your math books and sat at the desk. Like last time, you pulled Soonyoung’s chair over to Jun’s desk and sat beside him. This time, however, there was hardly any bickering. When there was, it was playful and usually consisted of Jun telling you how adorable you looked when you were concentrating or thinking. It brought a genuine smile to Soonyoung’s face seeing you get along.

He remembered how upset Jun was when Wonwoo said Seungcheol had kissed you. Junhui said it felt like being punched straight in the heart. When Jun planned on asking Bohee on a date to get over it, Soonyoung, Chan, and Wonwoo had all insisted the idea was awful but Jun did it anyway because he was hurt and angry. It was only made worse when they ran into Seungcheol with you. Jun was a mess then. But now, you were both happy and it made Soonyoung happy.

The two of you sat at the desk for a couple hours going over Jun’s study guide for his midterm, the only noise other than your speaking was Soonyoung’s phone going off every so often. Out of nowhere, he suddenly spoke up.

“So, if you’re soulmates...” Soonyoung began slowly, “should you just get married?”

You almost choked on your spit, while Junhui accidentally drew a sharp line across his paper. He turned to face his roommate with a stern look, despite the fact his face was beet red.

“One thing at a time, Soon,” he told him, but still flashed him a wink that you couldn’t see. He turned back to his work, glancing over at you, his voice quieter now so Soonyoung couldn’t eavesdrop. “Someday, right?”

“Someday,” you nodded with small but happy smile. “For now, though, you need to pass math. Stop getting distracted.”

“It’s hard not to be distracted with such a pretty girl beside me, though,” he said with a cheesy grin.

“My god, Junhui,” you groaned, trying to hide your smile that grew wider as your cheeks flushed redder. “I didn’t realize we were in the host club right now.”

“The good thing about being my soulmate is that you get to enjoy my cheesy lines outside of the club, too.”

Soonyoung snorted behind you, “That’s a good thing?”

Jun sighed, running a hand through his hair, “Next time we hang out, it’s just gonna be the two of us.”

“Your dates have to be supervised,” Soonyoung insisted.

“We’re adults!” Jun whined.

You giggled as the two boys began bickering, deciding to take the time to look over Jun’s work so far. Your mind began to drift, though, and you just let it wander.

Sure, you had your ups and downs trying to find your soulmate. You were a little heartbroken when things didn’t pan out, too. But now that you finally found who it was -- even if it was the person you least expected, you felt...whole. You felt complete, and you felt happy. And while you knew there would still be ups and downs in the future, you knew that it would at least be anything but boring -- especially with friends like yours.

Most importantly, you knew you were exactly where you were supposed to be in life with the person you were supposed to be with.

meet HOLIDAY CLARISSA GREENMANTLE, she has been living in milton for twenty two years and is generally known around town for being responsible and obsessive. the twenty two year old, is apparently a chef but you didn’t hear that from me. when i think of him i think of: meticulously colour coded notes, adjusting things ever so slightly until they’re perfect, returning a love letter with the grammar corrected.   -   zoey deutch, cisfemale, she/her as written by pepper, 23, est, she/her.

ABOUT THE MUN.  me reading my own posts: hmm..  that’s an embarrassing thing 2 post on the internet

you know who it is. *jason derulo vc* jASon dERulO! but no really i have never been more ashamed of jason derulo than i was as i watched cats. and i have never been more sad for magneto than when i was watching cats. magneto deserved better, but jason... god, we deserved beter. anyways, it’s 2am and i’m rambling shall we talk about holly. 

BIO. “live fast die young bad girls do it well” i sing as i organize my sock drawer at 9:30pm on a friday night

i’m gonna tell you from now that this is gonna be a lot shorter than cass’ because holly is a brand spanking new muse and idk what i’m doing 

so holly is the mayor’s daughter and she has been ever since she can remember?? literally can’t remember a time when her mom wasn’t in charge of the town meetings, when she wasn’t walking around town hall like she owned it, and when the pressures of that weren’t placed on her shoulders. 

honestly grew up in town hall. was waddling around the place in diapers. but when she wasn’t in town hall she was growing up in the big greenmantle house on the top of the hill, right by the beach with that sweet, sweet seaside view. yeah they were rich rich and the greenmantles have been in milton for like?? ever?? probably settled down here in revolution or something. when discusing the history of milton their name comes up basically, and holly simply had to get used to all the kids in the class turning in their seats to gawk at her when it did. so yeah, they were big rich and holly grew up with that silver spoon in her mouth that she honestly never quite figured out how to take it out. 

honestly it’s not that holly was spoiled but... she was??? she’s wanted for nothing all her life but her parents like love and attention, which she never got btw, rip for her. her mother was always working, a fact that drove her father to cheating. with her mother’s young hot secretary. when holly was like ??? two??? it was a big town scandal, made all the more scandalous by the fact that said secretary got pregnant. and that not only did her dad decide to stay in town, but he also decided to build a place right next door to theirs. yup. holly could see her dad and his new family right through her kitchen window if she wanted to. yeah it was fucked up. ~ just small town things ~

honestly the tea is that it was probably this and the sympathy that the town had for holly’s mom that led to her being re elected again. and again. and again. and again. and probably next election too tbh, because greenmantles don’t lose. they never lose. 

so holly was raised with that mentality. she had to win no matter what the competition. if it was school, holly had to be the best in her class. popularity contests, holly had to be prom queen, or queen of the summer masquerade, or may queen. and when it came to family, she had to beat her sister. always. at everything. otherwise her mother would feel like a failure, and therefore holly would be that failure. 

it was kind of a weird way to grow up, just surrounded by all that pressure constantly by holly thrived under it kind of. like she managed and she even blossomed. holly was the perfect child from ages 0-22. she never did anything wrong. honestly she would almost be considered like a robot if it wasn’t for how fucking hard she tried to be that. like she busted her ass to get where she is, and even if she was falling apart internally on the outside she could never have anyone know. she wanted to be perfect. she needed to be perfect. 

holly learned how to cook from some of the staff at her family home, and she loved it immediately. it was something that relaxed her from her normally high strung state. something that pretty innocently made her happy and made her unwind. despite holly doing everything in her power to excel academically, cooking was the only thing she really loved you know. it was something that brought her joy. but it wasn’t until holly had gone through four years of a law undergrad the she realized it was what she wanted to do for a living. 

but her mother wasn’t having it. she wanted holly to follow in her footsteps and become the next mayor of milton. she wanted her to stay in the family business basically, and nothing holly said could change her mind. she wouldn’t pay for holly’s culinary school or even allow holly access to her trustfund money to pay for the whole thing herself. it wasn’t the first time that holly was pushed to bend to her mother’s strict rules, but she wanted it to be the last. 

so. now she’s rebelling. she’s paid someone in town to pretend to be her partner just to rile her mom up and put a bit of pressure on her for once to finally give her what she wants, aka her trustfund money that is rightfully hers or even just the money her grandfather left her in the will. this fake relationship will likely be with someone who is maybe a bit less like picturesque than holly?? like someone her parents wouldn’t approve of basically so if you think your muse fits that vibe than come get your juice, let’s fake relationship plot my dudes!!

PERSONALITY.  imma fill this in tomorrow but she’s basically a mix of monica geller and rachel green like that’s the vibe honestly. got a pony for her birthday but also needs to be the best at everything, cleans obsessively, like that’s the vibe. 

HEADCANNONS.  this too.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.  also this.

Thoughts on Gilmore Girls

So I've recently watched all of Gilmore Girls. It was one of those shows that I used to watch on TV after school while doing my homework, so depending on the time I came home and the workload... Well I couldn't watch it everyday so it was one of those shows I had seen some episodes of but not all of them.

And lately I've been in that mood... That mood that makes me want to entirely watch shows I used to catch on TV after school but never fully saw from start to finish. So a few weeks ago I started my Gilmore girls adventure and... Oh boy was it good.

A really good thing about the show is that even though a lot of things happened that I do not like/approve of, I still love it so much. The characters are so loveable, you just love the show for them, stars hollow and.. Well you know what I mean. It's kinda weird because there were still a lot of things I disliked but it's kind of what makes the show great? Or not really, BUT what is great is, it shows that a show doesn't have to be absolutely perfect to be an absolute fave.

First, saying that, it makes me think of a simple thing : I miss the old shows, the ones with long openings with songs you would know by heart after a few episodes and all the main actors appearing during the opening too. Aw this doesn't exist anymore and even though we skip through them, we like them and from time to time we just watch them to sing and enjoy the song because with a simple melody all of the memories of the show resurface. Current shows can't relate. And I just like all the cute tiny "flaws" from old shows too. Like if you re-watch the first few episodes, Luke's diner is different, it's not located in the same place (I even think in the first episode Luke's diner appears twice and both time it shows it in a different location!), stars hollow is different, the gazebo is not at the center of the park, Kirk doesn't even exist and Sean Gunn is just a foreign dude for everybody in stars hollow and appears as different guys a few times before actually becoming Kirk that everybody knows since... Forever! I just love how before the shows were still evolving for a few episodes before becoming what they would be for the rest of the show. Now EVERYTHING must be perfect from the first episode. Idk I guess I find old shows endearing.

Anyway, so maybe I should kinda start with my actual thoughts?

1- I hated that they made Rory cheat on Dean and just stay with him when she very obviously liked Jess. I feel like a lot of people hate Dean but I feel like honestly most of his reactions were always justified? I am not saying that it's okay to react the way he did several times. In a perfect world this shouldn't be done but people aren't perfect and his reactions were natural and justified. People hate him for being mad when Rory didn't say "I love you" back, like he expected her to say it back because that's what one "should do" (in his mind, according to people hating on Dean) when they are being confessed to. I think he wasn't mad AT her. You have to think like a 16yo boy. For the first time ever (probably) you tell a girl you love her and she just freezes. If his reaction is over the top it's just because he feels so ashamed. He feels like he has bared his soul, and she didn't say a word so as a defense mechanism he gets angry, not really at her but it just covers the fact that he's ashamed. I feel like if she would have said something instead of freezing (even something like "oh wow that's unexpected, wow, I don't know what to say, sorry, what did I do to deserve a boyfriend like you" or like just something to diffuse the blank and the awkwardness) he wouldn't have reacted that way. An older, wiser guy/Dean wouldn't have acted that way but a 16yo one, baring his soul for the first time.... the alarm bells must have been ringing in his mind. Same for his reactions at the dance or when he talks to Jess after he sees him and Rory kiss. For the former, he's been suspicious for a while, hurting because he can feel his gf growing apart even though she says she loves him, and when he catches her and Jess exchanging looks, obviously he would be mad. He must be feeling like he's being toyed with for way too long. And for the latter, he's mad, and for the first time ever he lets himself have that cocky attitude he's seen Jess act with for quite some time. And he knows that even though he's still new to the town, he has the town's support because he has done a great job fitting in (hence saying "this is my town". People give him a hard time for that but it's definitely his town in the sense that even though Jess' family has been here forever, Jess is new in town and arrived later. so Dean came first, he's more of "the town" on that aspect AND everybody likes him when Jess... Well... You know. So Dean definitely "owns" the town). So even though Rory is currently blinded by her love for Jess, Dean knows that he has the upper hand in everything, and Rory might end up changing her mind after a flirt with that bad boy that blinded her for a while (that's Dean's thinking, not my opinion). Anyway all that to say, I read a lot of things about how Dean is the worst, and even though he is for sure not perfect, I don't understand all the hate. (but dude after what rory has done to you you should have known better than cheating on your wife). I was personally more mad at Rory for cheating on him and staying with him all this time when she only had Jess in mind. I for sure was mad at her for the way she acted but I don't see people hating on her for that. Not that I'm looking for people hating but like I haven't really seen people talking about her flaws but always the guys'. But anyway when she cheats she's 16/17, and even though she has that perfect boyfriend I can understand that when a bad boy that oh-so-surprisingly is also a big bookworm appears she can be swooning for a while). It's not the only time I disliked Roy's attitude/decision but to be honest I was so sad after finishing the show, I didn't want to leave those characters and start something else and forget about them so.... I restarted watching it and I'm currently at that stage so that's why it's my first exemple and that's why I feel so strongly about it right now.

2- I literally HATE how they changed Dean's character. At first he was this really knowledgeable guy, who had a pretty good knowledge in books and movies, and rory would make him read new stuffs, they would debate on it, Lorelai and Rory would show him movies he wouldn't know etc, but they had a real connection and real exchanges and debates. And I feel that to make Jess be THAT guy she can have stimulating conversations and debates with, they decided to make Dean kind of.... Dumber??? Like at one point Jess asks Rory what her and Dean talk about, and she's like really vague... I don't understand we've seen them exchanging books and stuff so much in the first season, why do they act like he's interested in nothing later? Just to make Jess more relevant and a good match for Rory? He literally brings nothing new to the table (except for that bad boy attitude) compared to season 1 Dean. But of course I guess when Jess was written Dean was too perfect so suddenly in season 2 he doesn't read, doesn't know anything about movies or music? I honestly feel like it's so shitty what they've done to this character. They should have thought about it beforehand instead of writing a perfect guy. Season 1 Dean was a bookworm, had knowledge in movies, but also liked sports, he had interest in mechanics, I swear they made a really good guy with various interests (not talking about the personality here) and didn't choose a stereotype-y kind of guy but then he ended up being too good so to be overshadowed by Jess they had to make him kinda dumber with 0 similar interests with Rory. That sucks. Am I the only one that noticed it? They could have at least kept that when Jess arrived and made Rory say that they talk about books and stuff. Jess being a bigger bookworm that actually always has a book on him just like Rory would still have had the same effect.

I'm staying on the Dean topic because as I write I remember other stuffs I've read on Dean. People hate him for that episode where they basically interpret what he says as "I want a woman that stays at home and cooks for me, nothing else". There's a difference between saying "I like the idea of having my girlfriend/wife cooking for me" and saying "women should not work but rather stay home and make her life's goal to make ME happy". Like, obvisouly if you told me that I could have my boyfriend cook me dinner I would also say "yes I want, I'd love that". It doesn't mean that I consider that his goal in life should be to make me food, it just means that yes the idea of having my boyfriend cook dinner when I come home is enjoyable. That's all it means. Kinda linked to all that is people saying that he dislikes/is threatened by Rory's ambition. He's said so many times that she is smart, she is Harvard material, that he's proud etc, how can the fact that he's asking her what they'll do when she's in Harvard is a proof that he is threatened. He's actually being really smart and realistic. That's a real question that should be asked and that they should think of. And when he's unhappy that she spends the summer studying rather than spending time with him, it's normal for him to be sad not to be able to spend time with his girlfriend when he was obviously thinking "yay holidays I'll be able to spend time with my girlfriend" and is just sad not to be able to see her more often even though they're supposed to be on holidays. He's not saying she sucks and she should drop out, he's just disappointed not to be able to enjoy the holidays how he thought he would. I don't know I think a lot of things that people hate Dean for are pretty justified ones and people just make them what they're not just because #TeamJess so they have to make Dean look bad. Idk honestly I understand a lot of these things and I think I would have acted in a similar way so maybe I'm a bad person too, hate on me people.

BTW this also makes me think of Logan's "ultimatum" that people seem to hate him for. To me it wasn't an ultimatum and his proposal and the reasons behind are completely logical??? They've been in a long distance relationship for a while, I understand the fact that he doesn't want to do that again and how it would be going backwards when he's head over heels for her and he very obviously wants to spend eternity by her side. Obviously doing it when he knows he has to move to the west coast which, by saying yes would force Rory to move too, is not perfect but anyway she always wanted to be on the move so being in LA or NYC or Stars Hollow wouldnt have changed much things for her since she would be spending her time on the road for her job. Obviously her family is essential so LA is not the best choice but if, again, they would have made Rory say "wait, let's talk about it" I'm sure they would have find a solution to work things out rather than making her say no on the spot and making it look like an ultimatum.

Until now I've voiced my opinions on Rory and Dean (and a bit of Logan), I guess these are my only thoughts concerning individual characters so what I want to say before moving on to other subjects is that those flaws that you can find in characters, even making Rory cheat on Dean, I actually like it. I like that they made those choices and all the characters, even the main ones, are flawed. Because nobody's perfect so it makes them so.... Normal? Relatable. Obviously I hate the fact that Rory cheats on her boyfriend but having a main character doing something bad, being flawed, is such a strength for a show. It shows exactly that nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes, and it's alright because that's what life's about. It doesn't prevent the characters to grow and become amazing characters later on (talking about growth and becoming amazing, kudos to Jess).

3- I really regret ONE thing. The fact that they didn't use all the seasons to show Emily and Lorelai work through their problems. There's been literally no improvement in their relationship from start to finish. Actually if you consider "a year in the Life", their relationship seems to be even worse than before (but I don't really wanna talk about a year in the life because I honestly thought all the episodes were pretty depressing, and if you think 10 years are supposed to have passed.... Why are almost all the characters still stuck in the same place/situation, Rory not having a successful career (this I can understand even though it's sad, but we see a full year with no improvement?) and still having no stability in her relationships, cheating on a poor guy no one thinks or cares about and doing with Logan and Odette was she has done before with Dean... I swear why have they made these decisions). What I regret is that Emily has kind of been all along a "comic relief", not in the sense that Emily is funny but because of her mother daughter relationship with Lorelai was always the perfect occasion to have Lorelai spit a lot of funny and witty lines. And I LOVE Lorelai and her wit. But I just wish the writers would have used all these years to show improvement. Obviously there's improvement in the sense that before season 1 Lorelai went only a few days a year to her parents' place. But still, from the first to the last episode, there's been no change. Lorelai being like "ugh kill me my mother is here" and Emily being still so cold. Meeting at least once a week for 7 years should have had more of an impact on their relationship. And even though we've seen snippets of emotional scenes where you can see how hurt Emily is or this kind of stuff, there's been no real improvement (and even though the revival shows an actual will to work on their relationship, they seem to be in a worst place than ever so..... Yeah.).

4- finally I want to talk about something that really, REALLY irritated me. The fact that they would spend episodes talking about something and then we would see nothing of..... The thing, and would directly have a scene at the end of after.... The thing. I have no example right now but I noticed it happened several times. They would hype me about something I would end up seeing nothing of and I hated it. I understand that the important point is the relationship between Lorelai and Rory (so the important thing would be their conversation after the thing and what they say about it) but still when you spend episodes talking about something, please show me a little bit of it at least ;-; so what I mean is... I was irritated with the writing sometimes haha but I swear it happened several times and it was so frustrating. Overall I have often disliked they choices when it came to the writing, the decisions they made for the characters, I would definitely not be happy about what would happen..... Actually when you think about it, pretty much all my points are complaints about the writing of the characters (or like consistent writing) or their choices haha But that's what makes it crazy how they are so many things I dislike or disagree with, but i still love the show very very much. So yeah it definitely means that finding flaws or just things you disagree with doesn't make a show bad. It just means that people don't think the same way and don't expect the same things but it doesn't prevent them from enjoying and loving the show anyway

Anyway this is way too long, I have to stop babbling, it's 4am, I've been writing for what feels like 2 hours and I'm pretty sure I've even forgotten things I wanted to say. If you've read all that........ Why.... How..... Thanks? If you did drop a star emoji!

........... ok? this is a weird and awkwardly prolonged end to the scene?

two kameenas talking about inability to understand why third kameena did what he did.

OMG THIS DUMBASS SHE WILLINGLY JUST WALKED UP AND GAVE THE FILES TO PK AND RAGHAV OMFG KAVYA YOU'RE THE WORSTTTTTTTTTT

[g0dtier]

infinity war spoilers

n my thoughts

that was a ride for sure

im really glad marvel got braver when it comes to killing off characters. imo GotG2 sucked ass (i genuinely hate that movie lmao) and thor:ragnarok was good but i feel like theyre starting to lay on the Funny Man(TM) act a little TOO much so this was a welcome change

im eternally glad they killed off loki. i dont like tom hiddleston or loki and i never have im sorry. i thought he was cool in ragnarok but thor 2 was just all around bad imo and lokis shit got old hella quick. also it immediately showed they were serious

peter was def my fav char in this entire movie. ive been waiting for an eternity for ANYONE to make spiderman more spiderlike and his new suit was just delicious for the aesthetic geek in me. hes also one of the few characters whose humor never starts to annoy me. with the GotG, the 2nd film was such a turn-off for me that every time they had another thickly laid on joke they shoved into your face i just couldnt laugh about it. the only GotG jokes i laughed about were drax’s “ive been standing here an hour” scene and his “WHY IS GAMORA” thing

speaking of Gamora, im so glad they finally let her actress....act lmao. she wasnt remarkable to me at all in the first 2 movies bc it always seemed like she wasnt allowed to show ANY emotion at all, but the crying for thanos scene was cool. i kinda wish she’d showed as much emotion when thanos threw her down a fucking cliff but alas

i disliked the constant dick measuring contest between characters. quill and thor, strange and stark, some of the useless banter was placed at moments that just seemed completely unlogical to me. like ok thor you literally just watched your brother die and lost the only person you had left but you DO have the emotional capacity left to have a bitch-off with quill? :/

Wakanda was an always will be amazing and i have literally no complaints 100% approve of anything and everything t’challa and crew will ever do. 

woulda liked a bit more emotion (doesnt matter what kind but at least EMOTION) between bruce and natasha bc everyone should know that i stan their relationship and i hate the constant turn-arounds natasha’s char goes through. doesnt matter who writes her, one movie shes opening up to people and the next she’ll be an emotionless ass again. also pissed abt the little amount of screentime tasha got in general

Wanda and vision were surprisingly cute but i wouldve preferred a little less heavy drama-like shit to show us they were together. i wouldve preferred to have a short scene of them sitting in their underwear together watching a movie and joking about it or w/e instead of the whole....”are we together or arent we” thing they did

i loved basically everything else tho. nebula’s torture scene actually scared me a bit, thanos really wasnt a bad villain like i thought he was gonna be. i really thought he was just gonna be another “wuh wuh world dominashun” type of guy but his motivations are surprisingly deep and his character was unhinged in a really balanced way. like he is grounded and psycho at the same time.

also wasnt as annoyed by bucky as i was in previous films, turns out not having steve give up literally all his values and friends in order to save him makes him a much more likeable character and the whole “steve?” death scene felt a lot less forced that way, to me at least. i much prefer it when a movie isnt constantly shoving in my face how much steve loses his goddamn mind whenever bucky is in the picture

the iron man/spiderman scene fucking killed me, as did all the other death scenes. also iron man was a lot more likeable in this film than in previous ones, you can really see some character growth. or maybe hes just tired idk. being the passivist understanding dude for once instead of a condescending douchebag is good

the scene where wanda has to kill vision was really cool to me, bc i never cared much about either before but the acting made it so that i actually felt really bad for them even tho the whole time stone thing was so obvious. visions empty robot body was cool

also the fighting scenes were fucking AMAZING. i love how wanda finally became a really good fighter and how shes a lot more agile and dynamic now. thors new axe is cool. Caps beard looks good and his entrance scene was amazing. the strange+spiderman portals “MAGIC WITH A KICK” thing was hardcore. tony’s nanotech was hardcore. bruce finally fighting for himself and using his wits while in the iron man suit was awesome. the wanda+tasha+okoye fighting scene was so cool too!

honestly tho my gripes arent really anything to write home about and are more like nitpicks because i lovedddd the movie. the only BIG gripe i have is that i knoooow theyre all gonna come back. it wouldve been a lot more believable to me if cap/tony/idk the original avengers crew died because theyve all had a bunch of screentime and them killing off peter parker and t’challa just shows theyre gonna come back bc no way marvel is not making them like 3 sequels each at LEAST

i also liked how much the after-credits scene was just another slap in the face. i know many people wanted it to be a “dont worry its gonna be alright!!! saviors are coming” moment but seeing hill and fury die gave me a weird sense of “hell fucking yea” because it shows they were trying to be serious about the “shit is fucked” thing

also im sad they showed the ant man + wasp trailer before the movie because it really lessened the blow of the deaths lmao

功守道 (gong shou dao)

Guys. This is some real quality content.

Honestly don’t care about that Alibaba dude. But the rest of them? They were stellar.

Jet Li stole the show; I’m not even a fan of his. But ya know. He was epic in the short film. Idk, the way he moves, so mesmerising… And he was really funny. Anyone has a good Jet Li movie to recommend?

Tony Jaa… Not a lot of Tony Jaa. It makes me sad. I was looking forward to see him blow some punches. (and by the way, Donnie Yen. don’t you dare to play with me and tease me with Tony Jaa in Ip Man 4, you better keep that promise)

Natasha (the Snow Vase from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny) was, unsurprisingly, a backdrop for males. Unsurprising. Annoying, but unsurprising.

Fine, fiiiine, we all know the main dish was Donnie Yen (incidentally, his fight was one of the longest), okay. I mean. I know the shooting probably took place in the middle of The Big Brother filming. But like… dat haircut… made Ip-sifu……. look like a fucking boy band member……. I don’t know. We probably should account for middle age crisis or whatever. But it looked positively hilarious; I had to stop the video.

Anyway, he was hella fine anyway. Was nice to see Ip Man before Ip Man 4. I love dat smol man. Being all relaxed, having some spa time, dangling feet in water, waiting for his lunch to cook. Until some dude comes in and wants a fight. Literally, this is how any Ip Man story starts.

The haircut was really funny though. I mean, when the fight started I didn’t really pay attention, obviously. But when you do see it. It’s really funny. Or it could be just me and my weird observations.

P.S. Donnie Yen’s eyebrows and eyeliner were on flick this time. Like. I approve. Good eyebrow game. Good, solid eyeliner; props to the make up team.

#28: Season 2, Episode 16 - “Wombat Wuv”

Louis is infatuated with the new cheerleading coach, so he decides to become the school mascot in an extremely farfetched attempt to win her over. Meanwhile, Ren becomes a cheerleader and goes into pep overdrive.

We start this episode at cheerleading practice where we see that Ren is a cheerleader now...? Okay. The girls are getting ready to welcome Ms. Morgan, the new cheer coach. Louis and Twitty are nearby and play the most immature but hilarious prank on Ren. She goes to do a split and Louis sets off a fart noise. Okay.. As I typed that sentence, I was overcome with juvenile cringe. But the noise is so perfectly timed and Louis gets such a kick out of it that I can't even be mad.

Eventually, Ms. Morgan appears and Louis has an out of body experience. Literally. His soul leaves his body and does an interpretive dance for this woman. It's a very memorable moment. He's seriously in awe of her beauty. I love how Twitty wasn't even phased by her, though? Louis was all "DUDE WHO IS THAT?!??" And Twitty said "Eh, idk... some lady" omg.

Louis’ transparent soul leaving his body to express his feelings in the most random way possible. Only on this show, man. 

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that in addition to seeing that Ren is suddenly a cheerleader now.. we also see that she’s kinda terrible at it. So, how in the world did she make it onto the squad in the first place??? This is a question that always pops into my head every single time I watch this episode. Then, without fail, I always breathe a strange sigh of relief when the writers actually bother to explain the situation through dialogue between Louis and Twitty! Louis casually says that Ren needs the credit for her resumé to show she has school spirit or something... which actually makes sense. A lesser show would’ve made Ren be a cheerleader for this one episode with no explanation whatsoever. But, still. I find it hard to believe they'd just let her on the team for a reason like that. You have to at least be physically capable! Which Ren clearly is not:

If ya couldn’t tell, she’s the one in the middle causing the entire group to collapse. 

They fall on Kenny the mascot guy -- who you can see was totally out of the line of fire, but purposely threw himself on the ground because the plot demanded it. He quits on the spot and now our story truly begins. Louis gets the bright idea to swoop in and save the day by taking over the mascot gig. He immediately sees this as an opportunity to basically start dating Ms. Morgan. Lawd help me honeychild. YOU'RE 13, LOUIS. It’ll be difficult to have a relationship with Ms. Morgan when she’s busy spending time in prison. 

Louis goes to Ms. Morgan's office and she talks to him in such a sweet and sultry voice which is probably the worst thing she could do in this situation. Louis' heart is beating so loud, he's able to pass it off as some ruckus going on outside. Wow.

Later that day, Tawny sees him with the mascot suit and assumes he stole it for fun. I love how she says "You should’ve told me! I would've done it with you!" Look at these lil rebels over here! They're so cute. Tawny looks extra goth here too which is awesome, lol. Louis tells her that he's the new mascot. She’s so shocked she shoves him against the lockers, and Shia does the greatest scream here!!! You can see him laughing a bit. I love it. Unfortunately, part of Louis' ugly side comes out right around here. He starts totally blowing Tawny off now because there's a ~new woman~ in his life. He cancels plans with her because he has mascot practice and cryptically won't explain why he took the gig in the first place. "It's just something I had to do" - Wow, Louis. The Dramatics™.

I just had to include a screenshot of Tawny’s outfit. Black Doc Martens and some peasant flowy gothy dress. Yes. (This was a fast-motion bit, so this is the best cap I could get)  

Louis calls Twitty over for an emergency meeting after school. Idk why but I think it's hilarious how Twitty comes jogging into his room out of breath lol. "I ran all the way over here, what's the emergency?" Friendship goals honestly. Needless to say, Twitty is less than impressed when Louis confesses "I'm in love with Ms. Morgan." Twitty can see right through the infatuation and knows that Louis is living in lalaland. But according to Romance For Boneheads, (a total "For Dummies” knockoff) he has the classic symptoms of a man in love. 

It's pretty adorable to see Louis all worked up like this, but kinda sad at the same time because this is obviously not going to end well. Twitty suggests "Maybe you just ate some bad bean dip" which is so funny to me, like.... what.

Louis continues ranting about how perfect Ms. Morgan is and says "I think we'd be a fun couple" as he gazes out his window and we get the most ridiculous daydream ever I can't even deal with this. He and Ms. Morgan are returning from a vacation to the Bahamas. Louis randomly starts playing mini bongos (the same ones that are on his windowsill actually! I never noticed that before!) and Ms. Morgan dances around him. Eileen concurs “You two are a fun couple.” Gotta love how his parents approve even though Louis IS THIRTEEN YEARS OLD and Ms. Morgan is definitely at least 30 lol. EDIT: I just checked. The actress was 36 here! omg.

I love how they made sure Eileen and Steve look somewhere between happy and highly disturbed. Fun fact: This episode was actually directed by Donna Pescow! So... perhaps these facial expressions were her own idea lol. 

Louis starts drooling at the thought and we see THE RETURN OF THE ANNOYING CGI TONGUE FROM GET A JOB. 

Seriously. Who thought that was a good idea? It just looks awful and so out of place. Y'all know by now how I feel about this surreal stuff they randomly throw in. It just feels weird to me. Anyway, Louis reveals that his master plan is to go to mascot bootcamp and make Ms. Morgan fall in love with him. Easy peasy! Louis is one confident guy, sheesh! Twitty immediately asks "Wait. What about Tawny, dude?" Awwwww. Then we get one of the greatest moments ever. Louis tries to say he thoroughly explained everything to her and that she fully understands, but a flashback to that moment paints a very different picture:

“Thoroughly explained”? Yeah, not so much. Tawny is so confused, haha. (gif credit)

Cut to Wacky Walter’s Mascot Bootcamp! Where a bunch of mascots come together and learn techniques such as “the basic booty shake” and sizzling on the ground like a strip of bacon.

What school would have a cow for a mascot? 

Louis has basically found his calling at mascot bootcamp. Wacky Walter was seriously impressed so he decides to give Louis his old jetpack. Yeah, let's just give this 13 year old kid a dangerous, fire powered means of transportation. Good idea. Someone shut this guy down! Have I mentioned that Louis is 13 years old? 

After a successful day at bootcamp, Louis excitedly rushes into Ms. Morgan's office to tell her about the jetpack thing and how he plans to fly around at the pep rally later on... And one of the greatest moments of the entire series happens. THE MORGAN UNIBROW IS REVEALED!!! This is absolutely iconic. Nothing beats this series of Louis Stevens faces. My favorite quote has gotta be “OH YA SHAVE IT, DO YA?!” Here it is in all its glory: 

Since Louis was under the impression Ms. Morgan was a flawless goddess, he cannot handle this flaw of hers... like, at all. So he quits being the mascot and gives her some lame excuse. Eventually, the two of them have a little heart to heart and he confesses the real reason. It's a touching moment. It’s sorta cringy, but I can’t help but laugh when Louis admits: "I wanted to hang out with you. Well..... actually more than that" oh my god. Ms. Morgan tells him that he'll find someone who's just right for him. Louis says “I found her. But I think I messed that up too” in reference to Tawny. I’m dead. So sweet. Yay for Louis/Tawny development!!!

Louis then makes a poor attempt at making up with Tawny and she flat out calls him a jackass. Yes. A JACKASS. On Disney Channel. Holy crap, guys. Tawny is the freaking best honestly. She won’t put up with Louis’ bs for a second and it drives him insane. Dats love. It’s great.

Oh, god! I forgot about Ren's subplot! I’m the worst. Okay. Basically, the other cheerleaders think that Ren isn't perky enough. They encourage her to find her "perky place" and let's just say, Ren goes overboard. She starts cheering for everything. Algebra, the mail, and even her laundry. It's so bad that Steve has to do a mini-intervention. Dang. Once she’s aware of how stupid cheering seems, she starts to think that cheerleading is pointless. Ren shares her negative feelings with the squad before the pep rally and all of the cheerleaders get super depressed. Ren was literally telling the girls that their cheering does no good at all in the grand scheme of life and that they shouldn’t do it anymore. I never understood this, because when they go out to do their routine Ren is still putting in the effort to be extra peppy! It’s almost like she set them up so she’d be the only one who looks good. I never got that. Am I missing something? EXPLAIN!

The lack of spirit from the cheerleaders spreads a wave of depression across the entire gym. Oops. It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Ms. Morgan tries her best to rally up the crowd but is failing miserably. She gets one kid to do the wave with her... that’s about it.

Twitty tells Louis “Dude, your ex-girlfriend throws one lousy pep rally” which is pretty funny. Louis decides to save the day once again and puts Wacky Walter’s jetpack to use. He comes running out in costume ready to fly around. Ren screams “HEY, EVERYBODY! LOOK! IT’S THE WOMBAT!!” which sounds so ridiculous like the kind of melodramatic dialogue from movies in the 1930s and 40s -- where the actresses are ~so passionate~ they always sound one breath away from passing out. It makes me laugh.

Louis flies around to some royalty-free “Rocky” theme rip-off before he comes violently crashing down (and lands in a convenient pile of pompoms) because he’s 13 and shouldn’t be trusted with a jetpack -- especially indoors. 

Tawny takes care of him right away and she’s about to get the nurse when Louis stops her “Tawny, don’t leave. I have to tell you something. You have..... the two most beautiful eyebrows I’ve ever seen” - How precious is that?! Tawny’s brows would unfortunately not be on fleek by today’s standards though. You need to have freaking caterpillars on your face these days. Funny how styles change. BUT THAT’S BESIDE THE POINT. That eyebrow line was such a cute and clever thing to say!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cheerleaders kick Ren off the squad, which is good news for Ren because she wanted to quit. As she walks away from them, the girls do this catchy cheer: “She’s going! Bye bye, farewell, adios, hey hey!” This always gets stuck in my head. 

That’s it! I like this episode a lot. Louis learns the age old lesson of “nobody’s perfect” -- a message Hannah Montana would later drill into our memories for all eternity. It’s really nice. There’s Louis/Tawny content here, so this episode is already winning. It’s just pretty iconic overall imo. Ren’s plot is pretty cute, too! I don’t even know what to say in this little summary paragraph because all of the episodes at this point in the list (#29 - #20) are all solid episodes leaning towards positive for me instead of neutral like most of the episodes in the #50s - #30s.

Thanks for reading!

a long mess of Oz thoughts from books 5, 6, 7

[the tenses are inconsistent because this is a mix of post book reflection & liveblogging notes; what is editing] 

Road: -I feel like Road to Oz was one of the weaker books overall, even though I liked the Shaggy Man & Polychrome & the reference to A Midsummer night’s Dream with the donkey head -Shaggy Man & the love magnet is is super interesting-- he puts no value on wealth or vanity but wants everyone to love him -he doesn’t need a backstory and functions fine without one (or a real name-- like Scraps who rejected ‘Angeline’, he wants his name to match his values, in a sense (hmm, insides matching outsides, where have I heard that before)) but I’m still curious about how the Shaggy Man grew up, who he knew, etc. -also I like that surrounded by wealth in the EC he wanted to stay true to himself, & on a more serious note, his struggles with poverty & how that shaped him. & it wasn’t framed as shameful to want to/stay shaggy? idk what I’m saying here but Shaggy is a good & necessary character

Emerald City: -I can’t believe I fell for the 1000s of chickens 100,000s of eggs + Nomes red herring. completely fell for it -I like Dorothy’s aunt & uncle, and that they share her accent -(can we please get like, some comparison to Dorothy having kind farmer caregivers & Ozma growing up on a farm with horrible Mombi?? can Ozma talk to them about farm things?)  -also has Dorothy not been to school this entire time -is that the purpose of her misspelling words? “joggerfry”. would this have alarmed school aged children reading it when it first came out, or since child labour was common then were they just [shrug.emoji]? -is it just me or were the paper mache heads of the Whimsies Africanized (like masks, but also the earrings), and it seems like the Growleywogs are caricatures of Native Americans. HOW WEIRD THAT THESE ARE THE VILLAINS. -I mean, I can see the tiny heads thing being a parody of shrunken African heads, which were as much of a western curiosity back then as in the 80s/90s (probably more); and the paper mache heads parodying giant tribal masks -...which might’ve been clever character design? combining those two different cultural aspects? if it wasn’t a racist parody, (or tone deaf, at minimum). sigh -I love the Phanfasms and the creative play on ‘phantasm’, because they & their surroundings appear as however they want to you to perceive them -& the fuddles (befuddlement!) who are puzzle people who scatter themselves as a defence mechanism. some of them are harder to put together than others? would that be determined by age, or status? (if it was determined by anything) -of course it’s not meant to be understood but that would be cool from a biological perspective. like lizards losing their tails  -the zebra and the crab are precious -the utensil & bread people! I wonder how many of these places/characters are inventions of the children, as he said -the white rabbit & Dorothy shrinking is definitely a throwback to Wonderland? -Anxiety Town -Aunt Em reminds me of Billina a bit. I loved them butting heads at first -she can be, not exactly mean, but a bit of a killjoy at times? but her scepticism is such a breath of fresh air. like all of this weird shit is going on and everyone just accepts it! why!! -she’s very defiant to Oz’s happy go lucky program  -then again I have a weakness for cynical outsider/voice of reason characters. see: my instant obsession with Adam Parrish & Riverdale’s Jughead Jones on introduction

Patchwork Girl: -I know the glass cat is supposed to be female but I initially read it as male so to me it’s a very vain & snarky pink dude cat which I prefer -MR. glass cat makes statements like “I’m much more beautiful than the Patchwork Girl” more enjoyable  -when Ojo said “who cares? Ozma’s only a girl” I was hoping Ozma heard him & when they met she’d say, “I used to be a boy, like you, but now I’m a princess” with no other context -why is everyone SINGING -it was endearing at first but eventually it got annoying -(I read it’s because Baum wanted to inspire another musical theatre production which he made more money from than his books, and he only went back to writing oz books bc of financial hardship, which I get. understandable. but also I had the weird feeling of reading the book equivalent to product placement) -AHHH……….. Scarecrow/Scraps. it’s happening -“Forgive me for staring so rudely,” said the Scarecrow, “but you are the most beautiful sight my eyes have ever beheld.” “That is a high compliment from one who is himself so beautiful,” murmured Scraps, casting down her suspender-button eyes by lowering her head. -“I—er—I’m so glad I’ve met you, Miss Scraps! Introduce us again, Shaggy.“ -DYING -where is Billina’s Rooster guy to have these chicks. is she reproducing like this lizard? because I support that -Oz suddenly has electricity! pretty sure this is the first book that’s mentioned a light switch -”the little brown folks/imps” ah yes, more racist african caricatures that need to be slapped by Dorothy into submission. great

-😒 < my face every time Baum & Neill pull this shit -”no one could ever be sick who lives near radium” 🤔 -interesting how things like that were believed to be true(?) at the time of writing, but that we now all know is the opposite  -tbh I’m not surprised Glinda is going to provide the deus ex machina plot resolution, but couldn’t they have put a butterfly to sleep via the poppies, surgically remove the wing and replace it with a tin foil one? since everything gets made from tin there? or, create a tin butterfly and paint it yellow and take the wing from that. it just said yellow butterfly, not living butterfly. -there’s magic. there were ways around this   -I just feel kind of cheated they didn’t complete their quest after all that. child me would’ve been pissed.  -I’m sad about the glass cat losing its pink brains :( now you can’t see ‘em work -Scraps & Shaggy are a pair in my mind? their core ideal seems to be stay true to your unique self, go against the status quo & embrace your originality, but from two different places. the Shaggy Man is mainly a reflection of poverty of course, but Scraps is a bit more complex bc she challenges ideas about general beauty & behaviour, but specifically feminine expectations too. like people meet her & laugh in her face and she’s like I KNOW I’M FANTASTIC -this is really the only response to adapt to bullying tbh -I love how confident she is & how she loves what other people think makes her ugly or crazy, and contemporary feminism is like, pssh who needs a man’s validation, but back then, Scraps Patches getting Scarecrow’s approval was probably a Big Deal -in the sense that you’re not necessarily condemned to spinsterhood if you don’t conform to the idealized femininity of the time. someone out there will love you for who you are -(we’re past the whole ~needing someone else, now? it seems like? but also Baum is a guy so what did he know -imagine: the Oz books but rewritten by a progressive woman author of the time) -I’m really really interested to see how EC does Scraps & Shaggy

aside: I don’t know enough about these subjects to throughly break it down myself, but I’m fascinated by Oz politics & economy & how that reflects the 1910s American zeitgeist & Baum’s own philosophies.  -Ozma’s word alone is law -Ozma cuts off Oz completely from the outside world to the point where they have no outside contact with even their neighbours in Ev (it seems they address this in the next book with the small kingdom of Oogaboo?)  -no one is allowed to use magic but her, Glinda, and the Wizard -she creates additional laws to enforce this -there is no money, but she allocates certain people to work on farms so not too many people live in the EC -this.... sounds like (idealized) communism to me? authoritarian communism? was Ojo’s & Unc Nuckie’s journey inspired by starvation a reference to this??? their failing bread tree? this reminds me what I’ve read about Russia’s starving peasantry just prior to the fall of the Romanovs but that would be awfully prescient considering this was published in 1913? or maybe it was going on for a while which is more likely. even more likely is I’m reaching -me: How Did the Wealth Inequality Experienced by Russian Peasantry at the Turn of the Century Impact A Popular American Children’s Fantasy Series -I hope someone out there wrote an essay on this because I’d read the hell out of it

The two of you had met at a bar- romantic right? Most people wouldn't think so, but it was the best day of your life. From the moment you saw his soul absorbing eyes, you knew you wouldn't be able to erase them from your mind. He was with his brother, Dean, who was getting drunk as usual after a hunt and letting go. Believe it or not, Dean was the one that hit on you, but he wasn't who your interest was zoned in on. He slurred some sloppy bar pick up line, probably expecting you to hit him, but you laughed instead.

"Cute," you patted his shoulder and went to claim your seat at the bar, next to Sam. Little did you know he was related to the drunk at the time being.

"I'm sorry about him. He uh- doesn't really have a verbal filter when he's like this," you glanced over to your left, unexpectedly meeting a beautiful man who seemed completely flawless.

"I noticed" half laughing in response, you finished ordering your drink, trying to hide the giant smile on your face.

"I'm Sam, his brother," a hand was extended in your direction, graciously, you extended your own.

"Y/n," his face shared the same smile yours did.

Later that night, you went back to the motel with both of them. Not to do anything, but just to talk. Dean passed out on the bed eventually. Sprawling himself out to cover its entire surface. He must've tired himself out talking about how Sam was 'going to get lucky'. Maybe Sam thought it would make you disgusted, push you away, but you found it hilarious how they acted like children.

As the night grew on, the two of you talked like there was no tomorrow. Guess when people say that it's nice to get to know somebody, they never thought two people would take it so literal. When you both realized it was 6am, the two of you walked to a nearby coffee shop and continued talking there. Dean had to call Sam because he didn't know where the hell he was.

"So what'd you guys do? Wait, nevermind- I don't wanna know," a very hungover Dean stood leaning against Baby, holding his hands out as if pushing away the information he'd asked about.

"Dude, all we did was talk. I told you," Sam scoffed a little as he talked, it made you smile to see how easily he'd forgotten he was trying to impress you. The again, it was a little past the part of the beginning impressions.

"Yeah, I'm sure you did," you couldn't help but laugh. Siblings. Man, you were glad you didn't have any.

"I should probably head back now," you chimed in, it was sad but true. You needed to go.

"You live around here? We can give you a lift," Sam was so eager to help you, making sure you didn't have to walk or hitchhike.

"Not exactly- I've got an apartment in Texas," both of them seemed surprised you were a little ways from home. "I just came here to get away for awhile, but my friend is planning on taking me back home in a day or so,"

"So, you'll be in Kansas awhile longer?" Sam's face had this huge smile plastered on it, like a child who got their favorite toy.

"I'm sure we can see each other again soon," your ride had just pulled up, slowly you began walking to it. "Besides, if you don't see me again before I leave- I'm sure you'll be able to find a 'case' back in Texas," you slipped into the car. Leaving two confused brothers in the rearview mirror.

Over the next few months, both of you texted each other on a daily basis when you couldn't call or even better, be face to face. Dean swore you two were a thing, but you weren't. Not yet at least. You could only hope you could muster up the courage to tell him your feelings. Every bone in your body wanted to be there for him, help him with things. Since you already knew to an extent about their Family Business, he just told you straight up about it all. It instantly drew the two of you closer to the other, like some kind of special bond was made. Everyday you found yourself wanting to talk to him as much as you could, but it was hard with the hunts and your job.

Occasionally when a case was close enough to you, a drive was all that was needed just for a short visit. He never let you drive to them- didn't want you getting anywhere near the thing they were hunting. Although once Jody was around and decided to pick you up and bring you to them, making sure you didn't end up in the crossfire. She adored you, at least that's what Sam said.

After the hunt was finished, he had decided he would drive you back home which was only about three hours away from where the group of you had just finished a case. Well, everyone but you.

It was actually a peaceful drive back to your one bedroom apartment in the middle of almost nowhere. Maybe it was because Dean wasn't there to pester you both to death, but it just felt- different. The radio was blasting and both of you were belting the lyrics awfully at the top of your lungs, laughing like fools as you did so.

Finally the car pulled into the driveway, God you wanted to sit there and just keep driving. Anywhere. It didn't matter to you, all that mattered was he was sitting next to you. The two of you got out of the car, walking up to the front door where you both stopped once it was unlocked and faced each other.

"Thanks for the karaoke duet, I needed that," the same nervous smile was on your face that was there when you first spoke to him.

"Just as bad as you need auto tune," you gave a fake offended jaw drop at his remark, then shot it right back at him.

"Speak for yourself," both of you laughed. "You should probably get going before it get much later," this was the worst part of seeing each other, leaving.

He pulled you in for a hug, but instead you leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips. Pulling back after the short second was over, you realized he was shocked. Hell, you were too. You'd never done anything like that before.

"Jody said I should just 'go for it'," your face bunched up, this usually happened when you got nervous.

"Remind me to tell her thanks," looking down while he spoke, both of you realized your hands were linked together. "I'll call when I get back,"

"You'd better Winchester," your hands slowly fell apart as he turned and walked away.

Months passed by, around three if we're being technical. Sam drove to see you whenever he could, or you drove to him. Always at the bunker, still not being able to drive to meet them on a hunt. Recently, he'd been acting weird. Hardly talking to you nearly as much as he usually did and barely seeing you. Of course you panicked, thinking he was going to leave you high and dry. There was no way in hell you would let that happen. You'd do anything to keep this relationship, Claire said you were crazy when you called her, begging to know where they were and to not tell them you were looking for Sam. Eventually, after bribing, she told you where they were. You hopped in the car without another thought about what you were doing- which you really didn't know what you were doing. But if he was going to avoid you, you were knocking on his door.

Pulling up to a raggedy motel, you thought about how crazy this was. You were literally throwing everything on the line, and practically throwing yourself onto a train track. Baby was parked right out front of their room, lucky for you because you had no idea what room they'd be in.

With heat rising to your cold face and adrenaline rushing in your veins, you knocked on the door. A little louder than you planned to.

"Y/n? What are you-" Sam answered the door, but didn't have a chance to even ask you why you were there. The second he opened the door and you knew for certain it was him, you placed a heated kiss on his lips.

Obviously he wasn't too concerned about why you were there, probably because you were kissing- but whatever.

"Look, I know what you do is dangerous. I'm not saying I'm ready to be a hunter, but I am ready to be here for you. Everyday. One day I'll get off the bleachers and kick ass with you guys, but for now, I just want to be here- with you. What I'm trying to say is I want move in with you guys and annoy the shit out of you both day in and day out," after finishing your very rushed speech, you swallowed. Did that really just happen.

"Sam?" Dean caught both of your attention, speaking from the bed behind Sam who was still standing in the doorway. "Marry this girl," well you had to admit, it was nice having the older brothers approval.

Apparently Sam was happy to get the thumbs up for whatever kind of secret bro code him and Dean had, because he turned back around to you and kissed you with one of the most intense kisses the two of you had shared. This was crazy, but it was your cup of crazy.

Dean walked into the kitchen where Sam sat at the table on his computer eating breakfast.

“Find anything good?” Dean said still sleepy.

“Actually yeah, I think I found a case about an hour and a half away” Sam replied turning the laptop so Dean could see what was on the screen. The screen showed a news article from the  Lincoln times with the bolded headline saying  ‘6th disappearance in a week causes panic in Overbrook’ this peeked Dean interested. He sat down at table and read the article in front of him.

The small town of Overbrook, Nebraska, town of  600, is brought together through fear as the 6th person this week has gone MIA, at first the police thought it was just a coincidence but now no one seems sure of anything. Sherrif James Casey reports: “Theres no way of knowing if any of these cases are related but we urge the population of Overbrook and its surrounding areas to not panic but to stay cautious as the police are doing the best they can to find the missing people.” So far the missing people list includes Harley Foster, Caleb Dockport, Joseph Lachance, Sarah Casey, Kaylie Halloway and lastly her father Allan Halloway who was said to be missing since yesterday, July 16th at 5 pm. If anyone was any information on…..

 “Definitely sounds like a case.” Dean said looking at Sam with eager eyes. They hadn’t been able to find any cases in over two weeks and he definitely needed to let off some steam. “Lets go!” Dean got up and darted to get his things.

“Yeah let me finish breakfast first” Sam resistingly followed along even though he had started to like this slight vacation.

 _

Less than an hour later Sam and Dean were in the Impala Driving down the Hwy to Nebraska. “Where even is this place?” Dean asked.

“Absolute middle of no where, and it seems like literally nothing ever happens there according to the internet, the only news about this place in the past month has been about a farmer whose cow gave birth to twins, and well the disappearance are a huge deal.” Sam replied.

“What do we know about the missing people?”

 “Not much yet, they don’t really seem to be related other than the last one being the father of that one girl. They’re all just random people, it seems to have all started by Harley Foster a 30 year corner store owner who disappear 6 days ago, then someone has been taken every night since. Could be anything really, a shifter, vamp, werewolf who knows…“

“Well we better get to the bottom of this before anything else happens.” Dean said as he shared a look with his brother.

_

 When they arrived to Overbrook not to long after, they first went to the police station, then the corner store owned by the first victim, followed by meeting all of the victims immediate family. Finally they were still left confused, there were no paranormal or supernatural signs at any of the victims location nor any witnesses whatsoever. Whatever was doing this was good. Finally, while at the last two victims house they met the little brother/son, Tobby, who couldn’t have been more than 9 years old, who definitely knew more than he let on.

 “Hey kid are you sure you don’t know anything? Really any little bit of information no matter how small or no matter how weird would help.” Sam questioned the little boy prying for any info that would help. Tobby shaked his head no, and hesitated before adding “ but… uh.. well we moved here about a month ago and ever since then things have been different I guess…”

 “Different how?” Dean demanded.

 “Well, daddy and Kaylie actually started to be nice to each other which was a good thing, and then Kaylie disappeared, and daddy just… he just he was acting different, like really weird and sad and stuff… and oh compasses don’t work here, is that the kind of weird you want?” Tobby asked wanting to get the agents approval.

 “Compassed don’t work? Can you show us what you mean.” Sam said looking at Dean confused. Tobby got up and lead the boys up to his room where the walls were decorated in everything army, pictures of Tobby as a boyscout . Tobby opened his drawer and took out a compass, he handed it to Dean and said “North is that way” pointing to the window. Dean looked down at the compass which showed North being in the direction of the other corner near the door. “And its not just this one, its all of them, the locals don’t seem to care cause its been like this for ever, but idk its weird right?” Tobby added. Dean and Sam looked at each other, neither of them knew what it meant but they knew it was something they needed to figure out.

 “Can we take this with us Tobby?”

 “Yeah sure, its not like its any good”

_

 Sam and Dean decided to follow the compass, it had brought into the middle of the middle of no where. They were off the main road leading to Overbrook in the forest which led them to this little mountain. “Dean, I don’t know about this anymore, maybe theres just something wrong with the magnetic currents here or something.” Sam conceeded starting to be tired and hungry.

“K’mon we gotta be close to something, I can feel it” Dean assured. They kept walking another few minutes until they got to a big rocky whole, which must be the entrance to a cave of some sorts. *

“I guess we’re going down there…” Dean hesitated. “I mean it looks pretty promising” Sam stated looking at his brother before making sure his gun was ready for immediate use in case of emergency. They both hesitated before finally walking into the dark cave, both with there flashlights on and Sam with his gun out they crawled through a smaller section to get to an enormous section where the celling was so high that even the gigantor Sam couldn’t reach.

“Wow” They both exclaimed as they started to explore separately the area which was bigger than the main area of their bunker. Sam was looking at the marvellous rock walls while walking to the center of the area while Dean tried to see where the compass was leading but the compass was spinning showing no real direction. Dean snapped out of his confused went he heard a load collapsing sound, he looked up at his brother who had fallen flat on his face.

“Dude..” Dean said laughing his ass off. “Did you just trip over yourself again?” he continued laughing. Sam didn’t think it was so funny as he got up and brushed himself off slightly confused on how we had ended up on the ground. He carefully looked at the area on the ground were he has tripped and saw nothing but he was sure he felt something earlier as he fell.

“What?” Dean questioned seeing Sam was truly confused and concerned. Sam continued looking at the ground and decided to check it thoroughly with his feet slidding them cautiously so we wouldn’t trip again. His right foot bumped into something hard but not quite as hard a a rock, but he couldn’t see anything. He looked up to give a look of uncertainty to his older brother who proceeded to move closer also very cautiously. Sam bent down to feel whatever invisible thing he had just discovered. His hands moved along the surface of what looked like absolutely nothing but felt like something until he finally realised what the hell he tripped over.

  “It’s a body!” he gasped.
