how it feels to write other fandom fics while my long soukoku one marinates:

not one but TWO long skk fic wips, my apologies

Hello again… I’ve been thinking more about Halo, specifically Halo’s music.

I was trying to figure out what exactly made me just VIBE with the soundtrack, and thought about what I could compare it too.

And I realize, it kinda has that OOMPH to it that Shiro Sagisu’s discography has, mainly with NGE and Shin Godzilla.

Cause here me out:

I can 100% imagine the Pillar of Autumn charging into battle, ready to launch Master Chief onto a Halo as EM10A Alterne plays

Alternatively, I can also 100% see hordes of fighter jets bomb-rushing Shin Godzilla, or the Eva’s getting ready to fight another Angel as Rock in a Hard Place blares

[teojira]

Just a thought! Godzilla who tolerates human and mothera who absolutely adores the human and wants to keep it like a little pet is so funny to me

[I want a baby. We are two titans.] [Headcanons]

Summary: Mothra has a soft spot for you and Gojira takes it upon himself to see you, a human. He will not fall victim to your charms.

Word count: 700+

Pronouns: Gender neutral!

Warnings: None that I can possibly think of! Do lmk if I need to though!

A/N: First Goji and Mothra request!! Thank you so much!! I hope these are okay anon! Kinda made it to where it's the set up lore for this request bc that's where my brain took me lmao.

You're not particularly of note, you're nothing, sorry to say it special. No secret heritage, no secret connection to Monarch before meeting the moth titan, but when you find yourself face to face with her, you feel calm and safe.

She's radiating warmth and comfort and quietly as she can squeaks at you, trying to bid you closer to her.

A bad idea really, extremely bad idea but she just looks so soft and loving, so you walk up to her and gently rest a hand on her head, running your fingers through her fuzz.

It's clear She's very sweet on you, she can't always be by your side, having to do her duties as the queen of monsters but she will visit, she also somehow knows where you are at all times.

After the first encounter, Monarch realized they could use you to help locate her so you now have a decent cushy life as the Mothra whisperer among the two twins, the Ziyis.

Dr. Chen is absolutely fascinated to hear about your connection to Mothra, she's one of your main friends in the company who comes to visit you often.

Mothra never lingers for long, but she comes by to visit and rests with you awhile, allowing you to pet and climb on her if you wish, though she makes panicked noises if you accidental stumble, she doesn't really have alot of arm to catch you so girl is NERVOUS.

You're her little human, she'd hate to see you get hurt, regardless if she knows she can fix it.

Goji knows where Mothra is going, to see a human, and he's very against, trying to growl and grunt his point of view to Mothra, but she will have none of it. He rolls his eyes and thumps his tail, trying to emphasize that it is a bad idea and it'll get her hurt.

Mothra has never listened to a man and will not do so now, so she continues her visits with you, coming to him smelling of human.

At this point, he's gonna come see you himself, Mothra is beautiful, caring and a more peaceful titan.

Goji is not, which is why he has no issues with breaching the water next to the Monarch base and coming to find you.

He does take SOME care to not needlessly destroy everything around him, staying in the water and just standing there menacingly as fuck, everyone freaks the fuck out until Mothra follows him, resting on his back, her appendages wrapped gently on Gojis scales.

That's when they figure to send you out, neither Kaiju are attacking, but they know very clearly of Mothra's soft spot for you, so it's a insurance that she'd step in against her husband if he goes rouge.

So they send you out, you humming a village song that Dr.Chen taught you, alerting Mothra of your presence.

She flaps her wings excitedly, leaving her spot on Goji to get to you, her wings enclose the two of you, her way of giving you a hug.

Goji grumbles but gets closer, moving to lay his chest on the ground so he can get a good look at you.

You're so, squishy looking, kinda stupid looking as well, with your big eyes trained on him in fear.

He brings his snout closer, his breath making your hair blow around your face.

Mothra let's out a noise, probably a warning to her King to not do anything stupid.

You can see his visibly roll his fucking eyes at her and then he trains his eyes on yours, directly making eye contact.

He then exhales, the gust of wind knocking you over from the force, he laughs. He honest to god LAUGHS AT YOU.

You can't help but laugh back, from nerves and the fact that he seems so eerily human in this instant.

Mothra slaps him with one of her arms, shaking her head at him, speaking in a language you're sure only exists between them.

Goji uses the tip of his tail to give you something to prop yourself up against, you didn't scream of fear, he hasn't been shot at yet, he figures you're alright, for a human.

ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ᴠᴇʀʏ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ꜰᴏʀ ʀᴇᴀᴅɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ʜᴏᴘᴇ ᴛᴏ ʜᴇᴀʀ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴏᴏɴ!

Something I really lament is the move towards digital media. Slowly we start to never own the things we like. Even if we "buy" a digital game, or movie or show. It's locked behind a certain platform or service. Once it shuts down we lose it forever.

(me when big booby anime girl explosion Is taken off of Netflix)

I also feel like there's a certain charm to owning physical media, like things you can hold and the satisfaction from pressing a clicky button or putting a disc or cassette in and seeing it work.

(oooh so classy so retro so.. expensive in the modern day)

More people should try to make copies of what they own digitally, or try to buy physical media before it's lost from streaming services and digital storefronts forever. Like the case with certain games like Godzilla 2014 and Transformers War for Cybertron. They don't exist digitally anymore. Only hard copies exist outside of emulation and at insane resell prices like... INSANE ones for a mediocre Godzilla game

So yea. Buy some more CDs of those albums you have on replay! Buy a DVD of that niche obscure anime you like! And most importantly PLEASE PLEASE START MAKING HARD BACKUPS OF SHOWS YOU LIKE THAT YOU PIRATE!!! media preservation is important!

(me downloading every episode of Daredevil onto my hard drive to burn to a DVD later so I can give it to all my friends)

This is now going to be a Comprehensive guide on how to rip a CD

POLL TIME!

Burning and Ripping Disc's❤️❤️💕💕🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

STEP ONE:

BUY A CHEAP BLU-RAY/DVD DRIVE FOR YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER

here are some I recommend!!!

i personally use this pioneer one :)))

DVD drives in general are relatively cheap from 30-20 smackeroos, but Blu-ray drives are around 80-100 bucks depending on the manufacturer but offer better support for copying HD video such as on a Blu-ray.

STEP TWO:

FIND A PIECE OF MEDIA YOU ENJOY.

in this case its gonna be a CD!!

i really enjoy Vespertine by Bjork, but i wanna have it on my computer just in case anything happens to my CD. SO. ill open Windows Media Player

(she hasn't changed since 2011 <3333 be urself girl)

NEXT

ill insert the disc into the player. and it'll start playing!

Pause the disc and go into Rip settings

NEXT!! select the format!

if you want to conserve space and don't mind sacrificing audio quality select MP3! if you want to hear the same level of audio quality as preserved on the CD, select a format labelled LOSSLESS. I recommend .WAV files as they'll work with most devices including an android phone or iTunes on PC (more on that later ;3 )

NEXT!

create a folder on whatever u wanna save ur music to! (u can call it whatever u want the world is your oyster bestie)

THEN!!! FINALLY

go into more options on the Rip Settings menu!

select ur folder and press Rip CD!!!!

the fun thing of this now, is that you can pull these files on your computer and put it onto your Android device so you can listen to your hearts content without lugging around your CD in a player at high quality without any subscription service with free reign of who you can give your download to!

But Magenta! what if i have an iPhone?

ohohoo fear not bestie because iTunes on PC has an even EASIER way to do it

because simply putting in a disc with iTunes downloaded prompts THIS

(oooo so new age)

and if you have apple music on your iPhone this will sync to your phone if you logged into iTunes on PC!!

thank you for coming to my TED talk

[balanceoflightanddark]

Azula new mother: Mothra: Azula is my precious baby, and I will hug her and makes her blankets of my own silk.

Azula new father:

Godzilla Goes to Kyoshi Island: I hear you been talking shit about my new daughter, so you have chosen death.

Ursa: ...Azula...honey...I know that you've accepted Mothra as your new mother and everything but...

Azula (whilst currently snuggling in Mothra's silk blankets): Here it comes.

Ursa: Maybe latching onto giant monsters as parental figures isn't the best idea. I mean, they're not human and-

Azula: Mom, I've been around them enough to know they're more like us than what people give them credit for.

Ursa: Azula, your new Uncle thought wiping out everyone on the planet would be better for its survival.

Azula: ...

(Ursa realizes her mistake concerning Uncles)

Ursa: Oh...well, your father's not going to be happy when he finds out.

French Narrator: Meanwhile.

Ozai: Listen here. I don't know who you think you are, but Azula is MY daughter. And if you think if you can take her away from me-

(Godzilla just went into Burning mode from hearing about how Ozai treated his adopted daughter)

(Godzilla proceeds to fire multiple heat rays where Ozai is standing, stomp and tail smash the smoldering remains and fire enough heat rays to drill halfway through the crust just to be safe. All while roaring and this music plays.)

Azula/Ursa: ...

Azula: ...I think he had some issues to work out.

[chiiyuuvv]

• PAIRING — hunter x female reader (uses her and she a lot but you can always ignore/change that)

• GENRE — friends to lovers, kissing in the rain (is that a genre??).. that's all I can think of

• WORD COUNT — 1.78k (a long one)

• AUTHORS NOTE — heavily influenced by hunters (apparently) favorite song, paris in the rain by lauv (in their recent live) I do recommend putting it on loop when listening to it because the feels. god.. hunters birthday note at the end :)

MASTERLIST!

"Are you sure about this?" You ask nervously, your grip on your suitcase tightens as hunter turns around. "Of course, we cant fly back now can we?"

"But.. I still dont get it.." you shake your head, "why me?"

"Because anywhere with you feels right." He smiles, reaching for your hand. "Now come on," he squeezes your hand. "I promise, they dont bite."

You let out a chuckle at his cheesy statement, nodding as hunter slowly turns the doorknob to his house, in thailand. It was his birthday and he kept insisting that you come with him, to meet his family and learn more about him.

But you already knew everything about him from the long years you spent together, and you were more of the shy type. But still, he wanted to bring you and after a few pleads you agreed, which resulting in you being crushed because of his big hug.

He already told his family that he was coming in advance so as he turned the knob, his dog ran to the door, violently barking. "Godzilla!!" Hunter gasps, immediately dropping your hand and hugging the dog tightly.

You could hear some heavy steps as more and more of his family came out of their rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, wherever to greet the boy they missed dearly. And so you stood awkwardly behind hunter, watching him hug relative after relative until their eyes finally reached you.

Hunter could tell how shy you were just by your gaze, as he grabbed your hand again. "This is my family." He says with a proud smile, pointing to a member and saying their name, in which they wave at you happily.

"And this is-"

"Oh my god, she is so much more beautiful than you described hunter, I can see why you talk about her so much." His mom steps out of the kitchen and towards you, her apron dirty from cooking as she cups your cheeks and hugs you tightly.

"Mom.." hunter says annoyingly but you were too hot to notice. "Welcome to the family." His mom smiles at you, breaking the hug and resting her hands on your shoulders.

"T-thank you.." you muster out, bowing at the older lady. "And shes polite too," she whispers to hunter, winking as she heads back to the kitchen. Hunter could only smile as he sends you a glance, asking with his eyes if you're alright.

You nod until you jump from a sudden shout. "OH MY GOD IS THAT HERR?!"

A girl ran past hunter and towards you, like his mother, engulfing you into a hug. "That's my sister." Hunter annoyed voice comes back, rolling his eyes as she begins to blubber about how much shes been wanting to meet you.

The girl was much more talkative than hunter and he could sense that you were getting a little uncomfortable, if not shy. "Say it dont spray it!!!" Hunter remarks before grabbing your hand and leading you to the kitchen. "Come on.." he mumbles so only you could hear as his sister makes a teasing noise at him for holding your hand, in which hunter sends a glare.

Once you reach the dining room, hunter pulls out a chair for you to sit. He makes sure you're sitting comfortably before pushing the chair in and opening the seat beside you. He was going to sit until his sister pushed him over and claimed the spot as hers. "How are you? What's your name? You know hunter likes you a lot. What's your favorite.."

Hunter huffs as he finds a chair on the other side of the table. He really wanted to sit with you but the only thing he could do was put his head down, angrily kicking his feet under the table as he tries to calm himself down.

"Dinners ready!" His mom calls out from the kitchen, some of hunters cousins setting the table.

"..so then hunter started running but tripped over the tiniest pebble in the world." His sister slaps her knee, cackling as she tells another super embarrassing story of hunter. You were starting to enjoy being around his family, as you begin laughing too.

Hunter gave up on trying to defend himself, his head resting on his closed fist as he lazily ate. There was a warm feeling in his stomach though, as he watched you laugh along with his sister. He was happy that you broke out of your shell, that his family was starting to enjoy you as much as he enjoyed you.

"..but do you know how much hunter talks about you?? Like you are the only thing that runs through his mind." His sister remarks as the rest of the family silently nods.

"W-what that's not tru-"

"8:26 pm yesterday, 'I'm so happy shes coming with me, I would have missed her if she didnt.' 9:00 pm yesterday, 'do you think she likes m-'"

"Yah!!" Hunter jumps out of his seat and slaps the phone that was in his sisters hands. "You get the point.." she whispers as she takes a bite out of her food, hunters face burning red as he quickly runs to the bathroom.

You excuse yourself with a chuckle, knocking on the bathroom door. "You okay in there hunter?" You ask as he pops his head out of the door. "Forget everything she just said and I'll give you my dessert."

"BET!!"

Dinner was over and you were sitting on his couch playing around with his dog as his sister continued talking to you. You could see out of the corner of your eye on how hunter would constantly glance at his phone for the time, impatiently tapping his foot before he bolts up and grabs your hand.

"..then I- wow hunter how many time are you going to grab her hand??" She laughs.

"We gotta go."

"Go? I wanna talk to her some more."

"But-"

"Please.." she cuts him off as hunter shakes his head no, dragging you to the front door. "YOU TWO WOULD BE A GREAT COUPLE!!" She shouts as hunter quickly closes the door.

"Let's go.."

"Where are we going?"

Hunter stops for a second, before shrugging. "Anywhere," he smiles at you, which you return.

"Its been so long since I've been back in thailand," hunter remarks, stuffing his hands into his pocket as the light breeze floes through his hair. You only hum in response, hunter turning his head slightly to glance at you.

"Has anything changed since you were last here?" You ask with all curiosity, watching hunter think to himself, a finger tapping his chin. "I dont think so.." his voice trails off as he thinks some more, before ending it with a smile and shrug.

You return the smile before looking around your surroundings. "What about here?" You nod to the empty street. Something used to be there, you could tell from looking at the old buildings, the only thing lighting up the street was a dim streetlight.

"I cant remember.." he felt like something used to be there, but he couldnt put his finger on it. You were distracted by a puddle near the sidewalk, eagerly running towards it and jumping.

"What are you doing?" Hunter laughs as the puddle splashes through your shoes. The same warm feeling in his stomach that appeared at dinner appeared again as he laughs at your cuteness.

That's what his body language was expressing, but his eyes showed something different. There was so much longing in his gaze, as if his eyes formed into small hearts.

I look at you now and I want this forever

He eyes seemed to convey as you stop in your tracks, the dirty water sinking in your shoes as you step out of the puddle. You opened your mouth to say something, but nothing came out. You wanted to call his name, but instead your feet dragged you to him.

"Are you alright?" You finally ask, lifting your head to make eye level with the tall boy. He only nods, as if he was snapped out of his trance. "I'm okay.."

"You dont look so okay.."

"I just.." he says, collecting his thoughts, "I'm just so happy you got along with my family." He tries to hide his smile by looking down, your heart skipping a beat.

"I really like th-" you stopped, you felt something wet on your shoulder.

"'Really liked..'" hunter tries to finish your sentence, until he felt something wet hit his shoulder too.

And another.

And another.

Until it was raining.

It wasn't the type of heavy rain you get sick from, but it wasn't just a light shower. Your hair was soaking wet but you didnt seem to care as you laugh loudly, grabbing the tall boy's hand and moving it around. He laughs along with you as you suddenly ran from his presence, him running after you in this sudden game of tag.

To your dismay, the boy grabs your hand with his long arms, spinning you around as he grabs your waist, you hands still intertwined as he moves you back and forth in a familiar dance.

"Hunter~!!" You laugh and he does too, spinning you around again as you dance in the rain. You accidentally step on his foot and he leans forward a bit, your foreheads touching as his hot breath fans your face.

His arms still around your waist as he looks down at you, your arms connecting around his neck as you look up.

You could see the same gaze he gave you from earlier in his eyes as his eyes flicker to your lips, the sudden urge to close the gap forming.

You let out a gasp when he finally does, your body curving into his as you hands reach up to tug his hair, pulling him down more to savor the taste of his lips. They were so much more softer than you imagined — not that you were imagining. Your eyes open slightly to find hunters eyebrows furrowing, a hand leaving your waist to hold your cheek in place.

You stood there for a moment, feeling each others warmth in the cold rain. He breaks the kiss, heavily breathing for air as you do the same. You were unable to open your eyes as you bask in the after glow, until he presses his forehead back onto yours, the hand on your cheek tracing your plump lips. You open your eyes again to find him staring at you.

You looked absolutely stunning in the mixture of the moonlight and streetlight, the rain not making it any better as he smiles. "Feels like paris in the rain."

A/n: Hunter, hunty, huntbutt, Papungkorn Lertkiatdamrong.. I actually dont know what to say in your note bc i just love you sm 😭

Fall or Falling? - Gavin McCarthy

Everything about fall was just perfect. The smell of the crisp air every morning, the pumpkin scented candles, the beautiful fall leafs. I love the leafs as stupid as it sounds. Ever since I was a child, my family has had a tradition to play in the leafs. My family never really grew out of it; we kept it close to our hearts every year. We even added a couple people to the tradition, The McCarthy family.

Aiden didn’t really like it at first, he said the leafs felt weird and nasty. Case basically would ‘reset’ the leafs for everyone but never jumped in himself. Gavin on the other hand; him and I stayed out playing in the leafs for hours after everyone went back inside to watch movies or play games. It was Gavin and I’s favorite holiday tradition.

—

It’s October 14th, the leafs have fallen, the air is crisp, it’s chilly outside and I wake up to the smell of pumpkin bread. I roll around in bed for a bit, not really ready to get out of bed, until my phone starts buzzing. I turn over and see Gavin’s contact on my phone.

“Hello?” I say in a very raspy voice from just waking up. “Hi, Case and Aiden are scooping up the leafs and i thought it would be the perfect time for two of our favorite things. One, making Case mad, second, playing in the leafs.”

I let out a little giggle hearing Gavin’s excitement through the phone. “Okay I’ll be over in like five minutes. My mom made pumpkin bread again, do you want me to bring some over for you guys?”

“Yes please! Okay gotta go, Aiden just threw leafs at Case and he looks like he might punch Aiden. Gotta see this go down.” He laughs and hangs up. I put my phone down on my nightstand and go grab some sweatpants and a hoodie. I brush my hair out and grab my socks, shoes and a hat.

I run down the stairs and see my mom making cookies. “Someone trying to start a bakery?” She turns around and smiles. “Not quite, can you take these over to the McCarthys when you get a chance please?” I nod my head. “I’m actually heading over there now, Gavin wants to play in the leafs.”

I take the small box full of pumpkin bread and cinnamon cookies and head out the door. “I’ll be back in like a hour!” I call out to my mom before walking out the front door. I walk over to the McCarthys and see the boys in the back yard. Gavin turns and runs up to me. “There’s a lot of leafs this time.” He smiles. Aiden runs up next to Gavin, his nose being a bit red from being cold. “My mom wanted me to give these to you guys.” I hold out the box and Aiden takes it. “Tell her we said thank you.”

We walk over to Case, who’s scooping the leafs back in a circle. “Hey Godzilla, Aiden just brought in some stuff my mom baked if you want it.” Case chuckles, “I’m not Godzilla but thank you.” Case walks away from the leafs, I look over at Gavin who’s about to jump in.

He basically flops down in the leafs and just lays there. “What about playing in them, didn’t know we were doing nap time.” I giggle, lying down next to him. Gavin stays quiet for a bit, until I grab a handful of leafs and drop them on his head. He gets up and shakes his hair out while laughing. “Oh it’s so on.” He says grabbing a handful of leafs and starts chasing me. “No, no I just washed my hair last night!” I yell, running from him.

He doesn’t listen, we run basically in circles around the pile of leafs until he falls into the leafs. We both start laughing. “Let me help you up.” I put my hand out. Gavin takes it, and pulls me down in the leafs with him. “Wow.” I say dramatically.

Gavin turns his head to look at me. My stomach goes weak, everything about him was perfect. He had pretty eyes and a pretty smile. He basically had the baby face of all of the brothers but I think it’s adorable.

“Are you cold?” He asks me putting his hand on my nose. swat his hand away. “Maybe, just a little bit.” He laughs, “Come here.” He pulls me into his chest, pulling my hat down over my nose. “So you’re gonna cut my oxygen off.” Gavin chuckles and pulls my hat back up. “We should probably head inside soon, I don’t want us to end up getting sick. My mom has hot chocolate if you want some, I saw her put some stuff out before I left.

Gavin agrees and helps me up out of the leafs, but he doesn’t let go of my hand. He holds it tighter as we walk over to my house. My heart feels like it’s beating fast, but him holding my hand doesn’t feel wrong. We walk into my house and he still doesn’t let go of my hand.

“Mom I’m back, Gavin’s here too!” I yell out; my mom walks out of the kitchen. “Hi sweetie.” My mom says, giving Gavin a hug. She drags him into the kitchen with her, he pulls me to go with him.

I let go of his hand and walk over to get coffee cups. I get all of the hot chocolate stuff out and ready. My mom walks over, “honey I can get that for you, go get warmed up on the couch. Turn a movie on or something.” She smiles pushing me towards Gavin. I nod and Gavin follows me into the front room. He lays down on the couch, “Wow, no room for me?” I laugh.

“Just come lay with me.” I lay down with him and we turn on the nightmare before Christmas, even though it’s kinda a Christmas movie, it’s still one of our favorites.

I don’t know why Gavins being so clingy and close today but I wouldn’t mind him continuing to do it.

—

This is basically for Brooklyn because she kinda helped me with this a bit but she’s a d1 case hater, so we had to make fun of case a bit for her but she loves Gavin. @edwardseeee

I also have a lot of fall ideas so I might spam post things out of my drafts very soon!

Godzilla 2014

(In my personal opinion) Godzilla 2014 is the best Legendary Godzilla movie because of how the world reacts to the monster king. Let me break it down (pls just listen to me yap)

There are three scenes I will use to explain my point. The first is the airport scene. Here, the male muto is causing havoc and ends up in front of an airport. As we see him, we can see and hear people screaming and panicking. The muto moves closer but then everything gets silent as the camera pans over to Godzilla. He’s simply standing there, yet he imposes a presence that demands attention. This first scene captures the awe and terror of Godzilla. The people went from panicked screams to dead silence in reverence of this being that to them, is a god.

The second scene is when Godzilla makes his way into the tropical city after the tsunami. There are people on the rooftops looking around in fear, then, military units shoot out flares. Silence. The crowd drops into pure silence as they finally catch a glimpse of him. His huge bulking figure makes it impossible for them to see his entire body. The crowd can only stare in shock until the military units being firing. Even then, their bullets do nothing. Imagine being so used to a gun holding so much power in your hand, to only be rendered useless in the face of a great beast.

The last scene is when our main character is laid again still rubble, catching his breath. As he looks forward, he sees Godzilla, laid out under the remnants of a skyscrapper. For the first time, we see Godzilla in a different light. Despite his mountainous size and all his power, he still hurts and tires. He still breathes and bleeds. While his god like status does not change, he is shown to be vulnerable. A god lowered to mortal means.

And I know many people had a problem with this movie because we rarely saw Godzilla but I think it only adds to my point. People for the first time are seeing this myth in the flesh. This god in person. Their silent stares of awe, fear, and fascination are all valid because no one has ever seen something like this. We rarely see Godzilla because the human race rarely sees him. This mythical beast, is legend among ancient societies. He is a being looked at as one would look at Zeus. History is shown to depict him but that’s all he is. A depiction of the past. Until he isn’t.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk (my yap session) 😌

You’d be perfect

Like you he loves and cares about the people close to him, would die for them. Would understand you so well when you express your feelings about family and friends.

Being dependent is literally not a problem for him at all he want you to depend on him and come to him for everything. I do not think you’d ever be insecure with this man. Compliments you 24/7. If you are insecure reassures you immediately, probably sad that you feel that way.

Loves that you spend time with family, will definitely want to be around your family.

Secretly plays with your stuffies. (I’m curious about them too 🤭 I want a Nanami plush sooo bad.)

Content with sitting and watching you play video games, refuses to play them himself though.

Doesn’t get asked much about himself so he would be shocked that you want to hear about him.

Watches all the Godzilla movies with you , thinks it’s the best thing ever

[jestershark]

if you say "i like everything except country and hip-hop"

there was a post going around a while ago which had people justifying why they don't listen to black music and rap and it pissed me off so i made a baby's first rap playlist.

some personalized recommendations below the cut

Being An Ally (tm) means complaining about racism and also Pushing The People You Are In Community With To Do Better. so I've compiled a list of excuses I've heard people make and some songs to counteract those excuses.

so i went through the post and then some reddit/quora responses for "why don't you like black artists" and "why don't you like rap"-- the general answer for lots of these is "you have uninterrogated racism and bias and you aren't working on fixing that"

so while i don't think a lot of these excuses are like, good excuses, I'm going to go down a list of excuses and recommend some starter songs

i think a lot of White Kids have this response of "i like everything except rap and country", but black musicians make every kind of music! rap itself has a ton of variation-- it's not just mumble rap and gangsta rap, there's tons of artists with different voices, different styles, and different results. (honestly a lot of you would like backpack rap and nerd rap. i see you)

here's my list

"I like music with good lyrics"

try out doechii

By the time you hear this I'll have taken on another form The way I been snappin ya'll gon end up my children of the corn I think I've adapted to all of the cannibal savages I feel a Possession in this session I need a catholic to Assess it Come and bless it Then undress it

mf DOOM is a favourite for a fucking reason:

There's four sides to every story If these walls could talk, they'd probably still ignore me Contemplate war over a cup of warm coffee It's really getting gory, tell your problem to Maury

Don't bore V with the "Glory, hallelu-ey" Crews be like, foo-ey he's just a buncha hoo-ey I knew he had new G, who he? Viktor Vaughn He had a new sicker song, I think he call it "Lickupon"

like 90% of hiphop is just incredible lyricism and puns. what's not to like.

"rappers just write about drugs and violence"

writing about violence well is art! this song is art:

this song talks about violence, does that make it bad? unrelatable? why does it do that?

also if you like music that has INSANE lyrical flexibility, please listen to this:

"i only like music if i can somehow tie it to my ocs"

everything is going wrong in my oc's life and they're barely keeping it together:

"i like strings and traditional instruments"

this baseline + godzilla sampling is so good-- listen to how they pass the verses back and forth!

this whole album is a master class in good sampling and i really recommend it!

"i like kpop"

here's a rap song with miku in it

"i like gay music only"

there are SO MANY gay rappers and hip hop artists, so many. do you deny the internet? this song by ilovemakonnen is extremely Gay Love. here's a song about being a huge lesbian.

here's a huge playlist: find SOMETHING. here's a bunch more.

"Most all rappers sound the same", "the beats nearly all the same", "Not a whole lot of melodic value to rap" , "Most modern rap is crap with no actual musicianship or storytelling", "Because rap is hedonistic, narcissistic, misogynistic and worst of all violent."

ok go through and listen to what I've linked above. do those all sound the same to you? think about why. think about what you like about other music, and what it might be about this music in particular that you don't like.

if you listen to a song by tupac, or snoop dog, or any other 90s rapper, their music is the cornerstone of all of modern music. including country. including kpop. including stuff that's far away from any other music. without hiphop and rap you don't have like. half the other genres that currently exist, and the other half have no reason to evolve or change.

"I just don't like their vocal timber"

you're racist. find jesus.

A final word:

listen to critics who say this stuff better than i can-- and i guarantee these are fun youtube videos to watch by creators who Are Good At Their Jobs

the rap critic

Hanamura's Vigilante; White Dragon, Part 1

Summary: A white dragon is terrifying Hanamura's city, no one knows where it belongs or how does it exist, you knew about it, but finally realized that is actually real.

Genre: Romance, fantasy, drama

Warnings: for now, none.

*At Hanamura town*

You- *Working in a small bakery, making some fluffy japanese strawberry cake and some clients come in talking about something kind...weird. You bow to them to say hello, but they were so immersed in the conversation that didn't even noticed you. It was 3 girls, young girls, talking about something like...a...dragon?"

Girl 1- This is madness, dragons do not exist! Magic is not real in this world.

Girl 2- If is from another world?!

Girl 3- They saw it! They took pictures! Look at this! *show her the phone* This is real!

Girl 1- But it can also be fake.

Girl 3- But it also can be true!

Girl 2- I think we should figure it out.

Girl 3- Oh hell no! Let this with...I don't know...Overwatch. Let me ask her opinion! Lady! *run into you showing the pics* Do you think this is real?

You- Ah, well... It looks real, but-

Girl 2- See! She said is real!

You- I mean, It look real, but like she said, it also can be fake, you know?

Girl 3- Everyone is talking about that! Turn on the TV, lady, pleeeaase!

*You sighs and turn on the TV quickly finding The News, talking exactly about that*

News - An unknow creature, that looks a lot like a white dragon, was spotted flying the skies of Hanamura. Photos has been posted in every midia from different parts of the city. Scientists has being collecting informations about the creatures and they affirm; "There's no such thing as magic creatures, it may be a sort of new specie or even a very old creature". The biologists are enchanted by the huge animal, they affirm that will find and study the creature with healthy techniques that will not harm or disturb the animal; "It should be studied and be observed, it may be the last of the specie. An old kind of animal like this? It must be protected!".

Girl 3- Oh dear...! It is real!

Girl 1- We told you!

Girl 2- This is so cool! The biologists believe that it may be a very, very and very old dragon! They talk about it, hear me out; "Dragons are old creatures that we, scientists, have being studying for ages. It has been found bones in deep caves, now with this new situation, we believe that this dragon has being lived here for more than 900 years!" Isn't that cool?! *jumping of happiness*

Girl 3- Dude, I'm scared! Imagine that appears walking close to my house?!

You- *laughs* A dragon would not dare to come to the city, if it has really more 900 years old, he know humans better than anyone.

Girl 2- That's true...well, let's eat and we talk about it!

*You serve the girls and leave this conversation behind. A dragon, a new specie, well... whatever, is very huge and looks dangerous. After a long day of work you were cleaning the story, it is about 8pm, the city is quite and no one was in the streets, the news said that people of Hanamura is very scary about the "dragon" so, they stayed at home. You were cleaning the floor, listening to a calm music and the rest completely quite. Suddenly, a type of a roar in the backgroud, not that far away, but not like a lion...like...Godzilla... you got scared and look at the window for a few seconds, trying to listen again, but nothing."

You- *sighs* Better hurry up...

*You were worry, of course, is a fricking dragon! Well, in the pics, it has claws and teeth, equal, dangerous. You close the rest of the store quickly and heard again the same Godzilla scream, but...closer. Scared, in shock, you start to run to the bus stop, but...you believe that...maybe the city haven't any bus around tonight...the creature literally stops everything. No cars, no bus, no human on the city...everyone is terrified. You start to walk home, totally alert with everything around you, you heard the Godzilla again and again, and release that looks like a...cry...? Maybe the dragon is hurt or something, maybe...but this is not your problem! After one hours of walk, you get safe at home. A very sweet home surround by Hanamura's nature. You enter the house exhausted and throw yourself in the coach for a while.*

You- I'm alive...! *laughs* I'm blessed...! *You take a deep breath and stayed In silence for a while...but youheard a unusual sound in the back of your house...like a...heavy breath...a monstrous breath*

*You open your eyes and slowly get up from the sofa looking at the window to see if there is something outside you could see...you were terrified. Maybe is just your imagination or your head being exhausted. But then...you saw something like a tail passing through the windows, wiggling around. You stopped and your breath too. While the girls were eating earlier that day, you keeped watching the news. The thing is real, they posted videos about it and is no joke. You wonder why, if is really there in the back of your house, why is the dragon there... ok, your house is practically in the middle of a bunch of trees, maybe he's trying to hide...but...really? Your house? You slowly walk through the house in baby steps hearing a kind of a cry coming from the...thing. At the window you try to look at it, shaking and your heart was racing fast than usual. Your breath hit the windows glass and you could see a huge white creature, wiggling the tail nonstop and he looks...in pain?*

Dragon- *grunts*

You- Why my house...? *whispers and keep looking at him* You're huge...!

*To have a better idea of your house, you had this amazing garden...I mean, is like a open field, not exactly your garden, but...yeah! Is beautiful!*

You- What the hell I do...?! *You step back and try to lock the door. I mean, is a dragon, is a thing, but... you don't know how smart he is, right? The locker made a loud sound and you got frozed for a moment, stop breathing again and stand still hearing the creature grunting, looking a little hit at the window, the tail stopped...that's kind...worry*

You- You didn't hear me...right...? Please...!

*You slowly stepped back thinking in calling to the police or something like that, but...they may hurt the animal, maybe...leave him rest tonight, right? You take a deep breath trying to take back your sanity for a moment. Everything you do, looks dangerous...should you just standing there and...that's it? No way. You back to the windows and the dragon changed the position, now looking at the door and smelling your presence...! Oh great! You hide at the same second you notice, hear the grunts again and now he was smelling the window*

You- No no no no! *you whisper to yourself shaking* That's not real! Is not real!

Dragon- *try to open the window with the nose*

You- Shit! Shit shit shit...! *You crawl out going under the table* This is a dream! That's not real!

Dragon- *Actually brakes the window and grunts in confuse, then putting the nose inside the house*

You- Ooh shiit...!

Dragon- *smells you for a moment and grunts, like if he was calling*

You- What...?! *You notice that wasn't a agressive sound, it was like...a tiny sound, like "someone there?"* Oh no, I'm not going...! *almost crying*

Dragon- *The creature take a deep breath getting out of the window and standing up in pain, walks to another window...right behind you and you followed with the eyes. His eyes, blue eyes, was directly looking at you, peacefully*

You- *Paralyzed while looking at him, and again you heard him "calling"* What the f...? *You slowly stands up, barely feeling your legs and in baby steps, walking to the broken window*

Dragon- *He come back to the broken window and put the nose again, close to you, you step back making him make the tiny grunting calling*

You- You're not...dangerous? *you suddenly talk to him, not expecting to answer, is a freaking animal*

Dragon- *Suddenly reply your question with a short sound*

You- Wait...what?! You just answered?! *Again he answered* This a "yes"? You understand? *He step back and you get close to the window watching the creature agreeing with the head* Good lord you're majestic...you...you can understand me...you...wanna me to...? *look at him and see a wound in his paw, it was bleeding and looks very painful* You...wanna help?

Dragon- *Agreed with the head*

You- Oh...you're more intelligent than I thought... And not that scary. *pause* I'm talking to a dragon...*sighs* It's a dragon! A dragon in my house! *laughing*

Dragon- *confuse*

You- Oh, I'm sorry...! I'm just...confused. You're a dragon! Dragon should not exist in this reality! You know? *Dragon agreed* Really? Wait what? Why? Are from another reality?

Dragon- *Grunts disagreeing*

You- *laughs* Right...you lived so many centuries that you can understand us?

Dragon- *Disagreed*

You- ... *thinking and step back* I'll get the med kit.

*You were trying to find to medkit trying to think to much about... all that mess*

You- A dragon is talking to me...*sighs* Ok...ok. Got it! *hold the medkit and goes back to the kitchen* Mister Dragon! *He puts the nose inside the house again trought the window, scarying you* Oh! You answered fast... by the way, you're a boy?

Dragon- *grunts in agreement*

You- Ok...I think this is was positive. I'll be calling you... Dragon. Mister Dragon. You have a name? *You walks outside and he agrees* Oh! Really? Wow, you guys are very interesting.

Dragon- *lay down showing his paw*

You- You hurt yourself? Or someone hurted you? *sit down close, still scared af* I'm...look...you're not going to eat me, really?

Dragon- *sighs and agreed*

You- What do you eat? Meat? *Immediately he replied with a grunt* No? That looks negative. Fruits? Fish? Fish is meat...*no answer and you focused on the paw* I'll stop making so many...questions. This is a deep cut, Mister Dragon... I'll try the best I can.

Movies are my JAM!

The wonderful and beautiful @return-of-miss-mgm tagged me in a recent post, and I've decided to follow suit. The following are 9 movies that really meant something to me. My list of movies goes on and on, but here's some that stood out at the time.

Evil Dead 2 was one of the first horror movies I really remember watching. It's been one of my favorites for a long time to the point where I've listened to the commentary multiple times. It really set itself apart by appealing to my sense of humor, and including a level of derangement I rarely see in films since.

Godzilla vs Megalon is an absolute classic of a Godzilla movie. The showa era of Godzilla films is definitely a favorite with their weird story-lines and their occasional 4th wall breaking moments. This one holds a special place though as being on my son and I watch together frequently. Plus it features Jet Jaguar, a fan created hero for this specific film.

Singin' in the Rain makes my list as one of my favorite musicals ever. Gene Kelly was a marvel in his own right and this roll was a perfect fit and he got surrounded by talented costars. The whole movie just makes me feel good and makes me want to dance. Plus I can sing along to the whole darn thing.

Spirited Away was my fist Hayao Miazaki movie. I think it is a beautiful and stunning movie just as much as the first time I saw it. I think the story is sweet and weird. The world it painted was strange and whimsical while also having its dangers. I've since learned that most Studio Ghibli films have the same effect, but still, this was my introduction to a great collection.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind just hits super hard on my interest in aliens. As with most Steven Spielberg films it was kind-of a big deal what with the budget he normally works with. The fact that so much of the movie is done with practical effects really drives home how much better it is to be creative with whats available. It's one of the reasons I wanted to get into special effects in the first place. (along with the evil dead movies) Also you get to watch Richard Dreyfuss go absolutely bonkers for a solid hour and a half.

Tremors 2: Aftershocks made me not want to walk off the bike path behind my house for fear of getting devoured. Eventually it turned into a comfort movie that I would play it on my laptop to help me fall asleep, which I can admit it could be seen as a little odd as this installment in the franchise introduced the shriekers, which I would not describe as comforting to hear. Again, lots of practical effects as well as a very entertaining Michael Gross.

Little Shop of Horrors is again one of those top tier musicals for me. I can sing the whole movie. It's a fun, weirdly dark story wrapped up in a delightfully uncanny package. The baddies get their comeuppance via a hungry meat-eating plant voiced by Levi Stubbs. The special effects are mind boggling and the choreography leave nothings to be desired. Put simply, I love this movie.

Labyrinth to me is not just a great movie. I am incapable of thinking of this movie without also thinking of my wife. We've both loved this movies since before we met and now it's something we can experience and enjoy together. The day our son asked us to watch it together was one of our favorite experiences together. We've since seen some of the puppets, props, and costumes in person. The combined work of David Bowie, Jennifer Connelly, Jim Henson and his team made a piece of art that has brought my family closer together. (And like that I've made myself cry a little)

Scream was another favorite of mine when it came to the horror/thriller genre. Obviously at this point I know whodunit, but there's still enough substance there where I can watch it time and time again. It puts so many tropes on blast while following many of those very same tropes to a T. Upon re-watching you find that it frequently tells you exactly whats happening or about to happen without you realizing it. The cast was great, the cinematography was on point, and I've had a thing for Drew Barrymore since I was in high school.

All in all I have varied taste when it comes to films. I tend to bounce around from kaiju films, to musicals, to horror, and back to light-hearted animation. I have far to many favorite movies to count but these 9 should hopefully give some insight into what helped form my love of the art of cinema. I'm curious what some mutuals might have in there lists so hopefully I can look forward to what, @drgoblins @fat-tea-fat @kolkhozmilf or @transfatfemme @bigfatbuck @brendakthedonutgirl @the-grove and @chubote have in mind. Of course anyone is welcome to give it a go, I don't always remember everyone who's following me back.

Thank you for coming to my post, I hope I'm not bothering anyone by tagging them. This list was in no particular order.

hewwo ?   /  /   MUN AND MUSE QUESTIONS  .  ♡

List 5 of your muse’s favourite sensations .

a perfect breeze; not too cold, not too hard, just enough to whistle through the grass and trees, and remind you that the earth really can be a pretty place . . . 

hearing the sound of laughter and warm conversation by your loved ones in the other room.

cold ice water with hints of fresh fruit inside, to flavor it.

a crowd tuned directly into you, effected by and influenced by the mood of your performance.

being trusted; being relied on.

Do they have any pet peeves ?

of course; who doesn’t ! here are some of the small, ‘insignificant’ things that minorly get on his nerves: medium-welldone/fried fish dishes ( fishies are best eaten fresh/raw in his humble onion, so he mourns to see it desecrated so... ), seeing people nail-biting, long text messages that are one big paragraph instead of broken up into smaller texts (i do that)... and if he has not met someone and pre-approved of them, he doesn’t like them telling him what to do or what not to do; this may lead him to commit acts of purely petty defiance against them . . .

Their comfort read ? (could be a book, magazine, comics, etc)

he preferred to read comic books as a kid, and some shonen manga’s. spiderman, batman, naruto, and godzilla comics being some of the major ones he reached for as a kid . . . so those would be the ‘comfort’ reads, though reading material is not what he’d usually reach for for comfort. but if he did, it would bring him some nostalgic comfort for a moment, . . . . until he got sad because oh no, the innocent childhood days of sitting on your bed reading a spiderman comic are gone, ahHhhHHhhhHH!!!!! 

If the book they are reading turns out to be shit, do they push through just for the sake of finishing it, or do they move on and find something else ?

he doesn’t read for leisure very often, but the same sentiment can be applied to various things: tv shows, food, etc. tai will usually abandon things he isn’t getting enjoyment from . . . but the exception is when it was recommended to him by a friend, or if it’s their favorite book, something like that -- in which case, he will want to stick it out, to see what it’s all about . . . even if he doesn’t like it, he’ll want to finish it, in hopes it will help him understand that person better or be closer to them.

Their comfort tv show / film .

he can relate to suki on this one : D it’s definitely the 2000′s cartoons / animation he watched growing up !  pokemon, naruto, disney movies that came out around and before that time, studio ghibli films; those are a few examples of the type of thing. his parents definitely used the tv to ‘babysit’ him a lot when he was at home, lmaoo. his childhood doesn’t have a lot of happy memories, but the pretty stories on the tv screen were a distraction from that, and inspired his adolescent imagination when he needed an escape from that reality, so, they are near and dear to his heart. 

A song that is currently stuck in their head ? (or multiple)

songs i have been listening to / or songs that i discovered recently, as they just came out within a few months of now . . . that he would like :  /   golden hour 😍     /   born to run  ( a classic but he’s like ‘damn bruce springsteen is THE DUDE... a man’s man... a musican-man’s-man... that man do be writing MUSIC AND SONGS.damb.....’ )  /    any way you want me   /    kids eat pills*    /   

The next three questions are for you. do you have anything special in common with your character ?

not much of significance; some of my characters are very similar to me, but he’s one of my most different ones. our similarities are relatively superficial things ( we both have a passion for music, and luv animals, make a lot of jokes, -- things like that... ), nothing really ‘special’ and highly personal comes to mind atm tbh. personally i think i gravitate towards writing characters quite different than me; i just find that i have more fun that way !  

What brings you the most joy about writing this character, right now ?

he’s sincere about who he is and what he feels-- even to a fault--, he’s witty & loves a good banter, he lives in the moment, and isn’t afraid to be silly or cringe ... but he contains a lot of depth, multitudes-- more than most will ever begin to uncover ... so he’s full of surprises, for those who choose to plumb those depths~ he’s just loads of fun to write!!

Who would win in a fight, you or them ?

him, for a million reasons asjjaj. among them, i’m WEAK like a limp noodle and SHORT, i don’t stand a chance. but it is for that reason that he’d never fight me lmao; he likes a challenge... or, dispatching a threat. i am neither, LOL.

Any advice from your muse ?

always be nice to your local 7-11 cashiers . . . if they like you, they will let you get free slushies every now and then, and let you take one of the candy bars by the register for free, too. ( sidenote: do not take any of the free hot dogs and/or gas station sushi they offer. it is not fit for consumption by mere mortals... ( who then, you ask, is it for? ) dare not thee question the ways of the 7-11 slurpee sage; he has spoketh.)
