[4ttack-ur-heart]

May I request a rafayel x virgin reader smut where they are getting intimate for the first time and she squirts and doesn't understand but as he breaks her hymen she bleeds and she panics when they are done etc?

Forever bonded

Pairing: Rafayel x virgin! mc

Warnings: smut, blood, mc basically freaking out at the end, virginity loss, inaccurate lore prbly, hurt/comfort, slight ooc fishie, oral both receiving, unprotected sex.

Summary: You and Rafayel decide to finally go all the way and form a bond by having sex for the first time, not realizing your body wants to react in ways you’ve never seen.

I don’t have Rafayel’s god of tides myth and I feel like that really dives more into Lemurian lore from what I’ve seen, so if it’s inaccurate shhhhh. In this fic, their bond is formed by the boom shakalaka. I also added in the scene of when he was possessed in the main story cause lowkey that form was hot.

"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into."

Rafayel's words linger on your skin as his lips draw down your jawline. His hand cradles your face, the other pulling your body flush against his chest. You let out a breath when his teeth scrape against the vein on your neck, your hips roll over his groin in retaliation, and he lets out a shuddering groan.

He pulls away, hands now settled on your hips as his lust-filled gaze locks onto yours.

"We should stop."

You frown at his words. Disappointed fills your mind as the burning passion swirls hotter in your tummy. "Raf, I think I'm ready."

Rafayel looks away briefly, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth as he thinks. You're a virgin, and he wants to make sure you're a thousand percent ready. In the past, anytime you guys have gotten steamy with your make-out sessions, one of you feels forced to stop. His hands guide your hips off of him, and you think he's going to stop and just pull you into his arms to cuddle for the rest of the night.

Your toes brush against his thigh as you settle into your new spot. You're surprised when he swings his leg over your body, so now you're the one being straddled.

"Don't say those words if they aren't true," you see the hesitation in his eyes before he seals the words with a kiss. His tongue brushes against your bottom lip, and you eagerly let him in. Your legs wrap against his waist and pull him impossibly closer to you. "Do you know what this means for my people?"

Rafayel pulls away again. Your noses brush against each other, and your breaths mingle in short pants. You shake your head 'no' slowly.

"Lemurians being in love is a blessing and a curse. When we fall in love, we love hard and become devoted," his head buries itself between the crook of your neck. A few more sloppy kisses are placed against the skin below your ear. "This is how my people create a bond."

He licks the shell of your ear, and his words make you shiver from the sensitivity. "If we bond, you're stuck with me for all eternity. It has no limits, even to death. I need you to know that if you don't reciprocate, the burden of me loving you will consume me entirely."

Rafayel sits above you now, his legs caging you in. When you take a minute to respond, he grabs your chin in his hand and forces eye contact.

"Do you understand?" His eyes are pleading as they search yours for confirmation. "This isn't something my people take lightly."

"I-I understand…" your words are breathy.

"Not to mention you're a virgin too, baby. Is this something you're ready for? If you wanna stop, I need you to tell me now-"

"No," you cut him off. "I'm ready, Raf, I love you."

He leans down to place another sensual kiss on your lips. A deep groan resonated within him.

"We'll take it slow, my love, don't you worry." His words reassure you, and his lips attach themselves to your neck. Little hums escape you as his lips hit all the sensitive areas.

Rafayel licks at the new hickey on your neck. Pulling away, he slowly gets off the couch, and his arms settle under your body before you lift to his chest.

He carries you through the hallway and to his bedroom. The dim lighting casts your shadows on the wall. He places you on the edge of the bed, and his thumb traces over the waistband of your shorts.

"Have you masturbated before?"

Yes. Yes, you have- many times, in fact. All to the thought of him finally taking you and claiming you as his. Just because you were a virgin doesn't mean you don't take some personal time a few times a week.

"Yeah," you shudder when your shorts slip off your legs, and your lacy panties are now on display.

Rafayel settles between your bent knees, and his arms curled under them. He turns them slightly to place a few wet kisses against your thighs. "What do you use? Your fingers or toys?"

He nibbles on the meaty part of your inner thigh.

"B-both."

A small laugh.

"Let's add my mouth to the list."

Rafayel's tongue drags down your slit through your panties, and you shudder. His teeth clamp down on the waistband, and he slowly tugs, his eyes locking onto yours. Once they're down to your knees, he dives into your cunt.

You let out a choked sound as his warm tongue explores your folds. He feels your hips rock slowly against his face, and his hold on your legs tightens ever so slightly to keep you in place.

This man slurps and laps at your cunt as if it's a great feast, and he's been starved for days. Filthy noises quickly fill the room.

"Raf," you moan, fingers curling into his purple curls. He groans in response.

His lips suction around your clit, and you arch your back at the pleasure driving through you.

"Mm, yeah, just like that."

His tongue moves in little circles around the bundle of nerves. He savors the way your body reacts.

As your moans become louder, his tongue quickens. You feel the familiar coiling of your tummy.

"Augh- I-I'm gonna…" the words die from your throat as quickly as they came.

Rafayel groans deeply against your core, and you shudder from the vibrations.

"You gonna come for me, baby?"

You hear his voice ring out, muffled slightly. Your toes curl, and you open your legs impossibly further into a butterfly position.

With a shaky whine, your orgasm rocks through your body.

Rafayel doesn't pull away immediately- his head stays down to slurp at the cum that leaks out of you. Your fingers are now loosely tangled in his hair, nails grazing his scalp.

When he pulls away, he's panting slightly. There's a primal look in his eyes that are glazed over. His fingers leave your trembling thighs and trail up his shirt before unbuttoning the buttons slowly.

You sluggishly watch from your spot, a new wave of heat already taking over your body. Rafayel doesn't break eye contact as he discards the wine-colored shirt. He leans in and hovers above you, his hands resting on your head. He licks his lips, and you catch the scent of your juices still lingering around his mouth.

"Here." His hand grabs yours and trails it down your body. He stops below his belt, and you can feel the hardening erection underneath the fabric of his pants. "Can you feel what you do to me?"

You shakily nod, and your fingertips dance lightly over his groin. He lets out a wince, shuts his eyes, and dips his head in the column of your throat.

"Raf?" You ask with your hand coming up to caress the hair at the nape of his neck.

"Hmm?"

"C-can I suck you off?"

Rafayel tenses, and his eyes shoot open at your request. Slowly, he pulls away and stares into your eyes.

"Are you sure? You don't have to"

"I want to." You state more firmly as he climbs off of you and rests on his knees. Your eyes drift to his large erection, and you gently ease him back more. Holding heavy eye contact, you unbuckle his belt slowly, the metal clanging against the buckle.

Rafayel breathes heavily as he watches your movements. The tip of his ears burn bright red, and he's sure his face isn't any better. Pulling his pants down, it's easier to see the shape of his cock through his boxers. A small patch of precum is visible on the tip.

Your hands clasp over his member through the fabric, and his body shudders in response. Nails swipe over the waistband of the boxers before they hook in and pull them down his legs as well. Rafayel's pants become quicker as he is now bare in front of you. His hard cock curls against his stomach, grazing the bottom of his lean abs.

"Oh fuck-" he breathes as soon as your lips take in his cock. You hum at the salty cum dripping from the tip. His hand softly tangles into your hair, keeping it out of your face as you slowly bob up and down.

Your mouth hollows, and your tongue pokes out to swirl against the tip, making his hips twitch and involuntarily buck.

Rafayel's sharp gasps slowly become breathy whimpers as you increase your speed. His full length hits the back of your throat, and you have to concentrate to keep yourself from gagging.

His fingers tighten against your hair and start to control your motions. "F-fuck!" Another buck from his hips.

You moan against his length when he bottoms out in your mouth, and the vibrations travel through his body.

"Baby, get off… 'm gonna-"

Rafayel does his best to ease you off his cock, but you grab his hips to pull him even closer to you. He rasps out a throaty cry when he finally releases. The white spurts of cum shoot into your mouth and hit the back of your throat, and you swallow every last drop, savoring the way he tastes.

His hand keeps you in place while he finishes riding out his orgasm. When you pull away with a small pop, a long strand of saliva connects from your bottom lip down to his girth.

Finally catching your breath, you both hold each other's gazes.

"You ready for the fun part, babygirl?" He whispers as his hand rests against your cheek. His thumb tenderly stroked the bone, and he savored how you leaned into his touch.

"Yes."

Without another thought, he pulls you in for another kiss. Your lips collide, and teeth scrape against each other in a constant hunger. Rafayel lays you back down on the bed, your head resting against the pillow as his cock starts to rub against your cunt. He takes his cock in his hand and places it between your folds, and you let out a hum at the sensitivity of it rubbing against your puffy clit.

Rafayel disconnects your lips, pulling away with an unsure look. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

"I'm sure, Raf." Your hand rests against his cheek, and your fingers brush lightly against his temple, scraping away the purple hair sticking slightly to his forehead from the sweat.

"Okay," he places a chaste kiss against your wrist, and his eyes dart to the nightstand. "Then I want to make sure this is as special as possible."

A spark flickers to life at his fingertips, and you watch in awe as the flame dances playfully, casting shimmering shadows on the walls. With a graceful flick of his wrist, the flame leaps toward the nightstand, igniting a cluster of candles that burst to life. The room is now bathed in a soft, warm glow, wrapping around your bodies like a tender embrace and transforming the space into an intimate haven.

"Now, where were we?"

His head lowers down to your lips again, cock still nestled warmly between your folds. Rafayel lets out another groan when he feels the limb becoming hard again, just begging to become wrapped in your tight walls.

After placing one last kiss on your lips, he pulls away and sits up.

You watch as he spits into his hand before rubbing it over his shaft. He grasps his now half-hard cock and rubs the tip up and down your wet folds, admiring the way you whine.

"You ready?" His eyes find yours as the tip grazes your entrance, and when you nod, he slowly pushes it in.

"Aagh!" You can't help the noise that escapes you from the sudden burst of pain. Rafayel halts his movements, and he carefully watches your expression.

"Are you okay?" He asks, voice tense from the way your hole is already fluttering at his cock.

"Mmhmm! K-Keep going..."

Nails grip his biceps when he slowly starts to push in again, leaving little crescent-shaped indents. You hold your breath and squeeze your eyes shut as a way to bear with the pain.

"Go slow, go slow," you cry out, and he gives you another moment to adjust.

"Almost there, baby. You're doing great." He reassures.

You're a whining mess by the time he fully bottoms out. He lowers his head to your collarbone, kissing your skin tenderly. It takes a minute for your body to adjust to his length, and you try to focus on pleasure more than the pain of your hole being stretched out.

"I'm gonna start moving, okay?"

You let out a shaky breath as tears line the bottom lids of your eyes, but you nod regardless.

His thrusts start slow- very slow. Thanks to the candlelight, Rafayel can see every expression you create: every lip quiver, every scrunch in your eyebrows, and every bead of sweat that coats your forehead.

Your toes curl, and you loosely wrap your legs around his hips to draw him closer. His hips move a little faster now, and progressively, your grunts of pain start to morph into small moans of pleasure.

"Fuck, you're squeezing me so tight." He whines lowly.

As his thrusts become quicker, your eyes flutter shut when you feel the tip of his cock kiss your cervix. Both of your moans echo loudly throughout the room, harmonizing with the sound of his hips smacking the skin of your ass.

When you finally open your eyes, the tears that blurred your vision begin to clear, revealing a striking transformation. His once natural pinky-blue eyes now shimmer with a vibrant azure as if reflecting the ocean's depths. A glowing haze, the same captivating shade of blue, envelops his ears, subtly shaped to resemble delicate fins. Iridescent scales, similar to those of a fish, are scattered across his cheekbones, catching the light and creating a mesmerizing pattern.

"R-Raf?" You sound concerned at the sudden transformation and clench around him when those bright blue eyes lock onto yours.

"It's okay, darling," he reassures breathlessly and rests his forehead against yours. "The sea is accepting our bond."

Rafayel can't help but feel more lustful knowing the bond is being created and accepted. It ignites a primitive urge in him. His pace quickens again, and you feel the coil tighten in your tummy. A shuddering whine escapes you as you feel your impending orgasm about to crash down over you for the second time that night.

"Already, babygirl?" Rafayel teases when he feels your walls flutter around his cock.

His thrusts never cease, even when the blissful release finally overtakes your body. A tight-lipped squeal rings from you as your legs shake and tremble mid-air. Rafayel's moans start to shift into whimpers as he continues to pound into your dripping cunt.

"Rafayel!" You whimper out.

The overstimulating feeling quickly surges through your body, muscles tightening in response, and all you can focus on is his cock squelching in and out of your dripping hole.

Rafayel knows his thrusts are becoming too much; he can feel it by the way your nails dig into his shoulders as a warning, but he can't help it. The way your tight hole practically sucks him back every time he pulls out. "I-I'm almost-"

He can't think straight, and neither can you, so when you let out a loud cry- almost a scream- as your body writhes underneath his, he can feel himself coming undone. His hand tangles into your hair and draws your head closer to his chest while the other grips almost painfully at your hip.

His thrusts become sloppier as he draws nearer to his high.

The overstimulation quickly brings you to your third and final orgasm of the night. The knot in your lower tummy curls impossibly tight, and you try to pull away when your muscles tighten to the point where you feel like you're going to pee. Your hands settled onto his chest in an effort to push him away, but it was too late.

A flood of liquid squirts out of your cunt, painting your thighs and his abs with the glistening fluid. That's all it takes before a choked cry escapes him as he spills his hot cum into your tight cunt.

Your body falls limp to the bed, limbs sticky with sweat, and your chest heaving with sporadic breaths. Rafayel bottoms his cock into you once more before slowly pulling out, giving out a small whimper when your hole refuses to let go of him.

His arms shake as he hovers over you, lips trailing over your cheeks to kiss away any stray tears that have fallen.

"It's okay, it's okay," Rafayel coos, pulling you into his chest and cradling you in his arms. His eyes gradually returned to their natural, vibrant pink and blue hue. The iridescent scales that once captured the light began to fade, signifying the powerful completion of their bond.

The overwhelming feeling in your head fatigues you, and all you crave right now from Rafayel is comfort and cuddles. You sniffle as a small kiss is placed on your sticky forehead. "You did so good, my beautiful girl. I didn't even think you'd squirt for me during our first time."

Your brow furrows at his words, hazy eyes locking onto the cheeky smile he's trying so hard to hide.  

"Huh? Was that what that was...?"

Rafayel hums in response and brushes stray strands of hair away from your face. "It can happen when your body is too overstimulated."

Even after your orgasms subsided, you can't help but notice a slight but dull stinging sensation. Your eyes trail down to the mess between both of your bodies, and your eyes widen when you catch a bright crimson mixed with your cum.

"Oh my god, I'm bleeding." Your voice shakes as Rafayel looks down at the mess before he gets off the bed to grab a few towels.

One is placed underneath you while he uses the other to wipe the sticky juices off your trembling thighs. More tears start to line your eyes, the physical and emotional overstimulation finally taking its toll.

"What do I do? Do I need to go to the hospital?"

Rafayel grasps your shoulders in an attempt to calm you down. "No, this happens sometimes, cutie. You're gonna be just fine, okay? It's your hymen, it can tear sometimes from having sex for the first time."

"But... I didn't know this could happen. Why didn't anyone tell me?"

He lets out a small chuckle and pulls you into his arms again.

"Every woman is different, some tear, others don't."

A surge of embarrassment engulfs you, a stark contrast to the excitement you had anticipated for your first experience. The moment, intended to be memorable for its intimacy and excitement, has turned into a whirlwind of confusion, and you suddenly feel self-conscious.

As if sensing your humiliation, Rafayel grabs his silk robe from the floor and drapes it over your shoulders. "Please don't be embarrassed, cutie. It happens, and there's nothing to worry about."

Rafayel scoops you up into his arms and carries you to the bathroom. He sets you on the sink, and the large bathtub starts to fill with warm water. His eyes settle on your down-casted gaze, and his hand grasps your chin so your sight meets his. "I can tell you're upset by this, but I need you to know you can trust me."

You let out a shaky chuckle, using the robe sleeve to rub your eyes. "I do trust you, but it's scary, though. I've never experienced any of this before, and I don't want you to laugh at me."

He lets out a scoff and playfully rolls his eyes dramatically. "Puh-lease, I'm not some immature teenager, cutie. Let's focus on cleaning you up, and we can talk more if you'd like. Is that okay?"

You nod, and he slips the robe off your shoulders and carefully picks you back up to place you in the steaming tub. The smell of eucalyptus wafts into your nose, and you hum contentedly as the warm water eases your sore muscles.

"Stay here, I'll be back in a few moments." He kisses your temple and leaves the bathroom to change the bedsheets.

You close your eyes and lean your head back against the rim, fighting the urge to fall asleep.

A few minutes later, Rafayel returns, and you sleepily open your eyes before reaching up to him and making grabby hands.

He lets out a small laugh and steps in behind you. The water sloshes as he settles in and pulls you back into his chest. Your eyes flutter shut at the rhythmic sound of his heartbeat and steady breathing.

Sweet sleep is interrupted once more when he taps your nose.

"Hm?"

"Look."

You crane your head to look at him and see his eyes locked onto his chest. Drifting your gaze down his neck and collarbone, they finally stop above his heart.

A bright red mark glows on his skin.

"That's our bond, my love."

[greenxgloss]

Hello hello!! My first time requesting here <3 Can i request a bf g dragon x reader where its the morning after boom shakalaka-ing (take my phone away whats wrong with me—)

A/N: im laughing maniacally rn bc i loved the way this turned out and I hope you do too. also this was literally so funny and guess what they're def gonna boom shakalaka again. sooo sorry for how short this is I didn't know how to change it up or add to it

Summary: What began as a fleeting night stretches into something harder to leave behind. When paths cross again, curiosity outweighs caution—and neither of you pretends it meant nothing. Word Count: 2.3k Themes: Explicit References, Alcohol Consumption, One-Night Stand Turns More

You try to slip out unnoticed, clutching your heels and dignity. But he’s already awake, propped against the headboard, tattoos half-covered by the sheet and a lazy smirk playing on his lips.

"Leaving without breakfast?" he asks, voice low and smooth like the jazz still playing from last night’s playlist.

You means to say yes. But then he’s in the kitchen—barefoot, shirtless, cooking eggs like he’s done this a hundred times. Like youre not strangers. Like you belong here.

He doesn't press for your name, just hands you coffee in a chipped mug and brushes a kiss to your shoulder like it’s second nature.

And just like that, youre not sure it was a one-time thing after all.

With a quiet sigh of resignation, you set your purse down on the edge of the tiny kitchen table, its chipped paint barely visible under the morning light bleeding through the small window. The view outside is nothing but a blur of rooftops and motionless traffic, but you barely notice it.

“I… I had a good time,” you say, your voice soft, a smile tugging at your lips as a faint blush colors your cheeks.

Jiyong doesn’t turn around. He’s standing at the stove, barefoot and shirtless, the tattoos on his back flexing with every movement. He cracks an egg into the pan like he’s done it a thousand times, the sizzle a sharp contrast to the silence in the room.

“Do you mean that,” he asks, tone calm but pointed, “or are you just trying to escape gracefully?”

His voice is teasing, but it’s laced with something sharper—curiosity, maybe. A challenge. You hesitate for half a second before standing, feet silent against the hardwood as you make your way back into his room. His shirt is crumpled on the floor, the same one he peeled off last night without much ceremony. You slip it on—it swallows you whole, still warm from his skin—and return to the kitchen.

“No, I meant it. It was… really good, actually,” you reply with a shy laugh, fingers toying with the hem of his shirt as you sit down again.

Jiyong glances at you over his shoulder, smirking. “Thought so,” he says, flipping a strip of bacon. “Never heard someone scream like that before. And the way your legs were shaking—”

“Okay!” You laugh, eyes wide with playful embarrassment. “Jesus.”

“What?” he grins, finally turning to face you fully, holding your gaze as he sets a plate in front of you stacked with bacon, eggs, and two slightly burnt Eggo waffles. “There’s no shame in knowing you did something right.”

You open your mouth to reply but come up short, caught somewhere between a scoff and a smile. You pick up your fork instead, trying to keep your composure while he makes no effort to hide his amusement.

“I don’t even know your name,” you murmur, eyes dropping to your plate.

Jiyong leans in then, slowly, his own breakfast forgotten for the moment. His bare knee brushes yours under the table as he slides his chair closer—intentionally, unapologetically. When you glance up again, he’s already watching you.

“You don’t remember my name,” he corrects, his voice velvet-smooth. “You said it plenty last night. Screamed it, actually.”

Your mouth opens in protest, but no sound comes out. He chuckles and finally extends his hand like he’s meeting you for the first time, all over again.

“Jiyong,” he says, eyes dancing. “Pleasure to formally meet you.”

You hesitate only a second before placing your hand in his. His grip is warm, confident. And lingering.

Something in your chest tightens.

Maybe this breakfast is more than just a courtesy.

Maybe you are, too.

You take his hand, trying not to think about how good it feels. His palm is calloused, warm, grounding. His thumb brushes over the back of your hand in a lazy circle before he lets go, but not before he gives your fingers a little squeeze that leaves you rattled in the best way.

“Do I get yours?” he asks, cocking his head slightly. That half-smile returns—mischievous, a little dangerous, but easy to fall into. Just like last night.

You finally offer it. Your name slips from your lips a little slower than you intend, as if saying it somehow makes this more real.

He repeats it back to you, low and deliberate, like he’s testing it on his tongue. Like he already knows it by heart.

“I like the way it sounds. Especially when you're out of breath,” he adds, sipping his coffee with maddening calm.

You roll your eyes and take a bite of the waffle, which is a little overdone but tastes better than you expected. Or maybe it's just him. The way he moves, unbothered, like he's completely at home in this tiny apartment with a stranger wearing his shirt and no pants.

“I don’t usually do this,” you murmur, chewing slowly.

He hums, unfazed. “Sleep with men whose names you don’t remember, or eat breakfast with them the next morning?”

You shoot him a look. “Both.”

“Then I must be special,” he grins, leaning back in his chair. “Unless you tell that to all your one-night stands.”

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” you retort, smirking behind your coffee mug.

His gaze lingers on you for a beat too long, eyes flicking from your mouth to your legs curled under you on the chair. There’s heat there—undeniable, unhurried. But something else, too. A curious kind of attentiveness. He isn’t just looking at you. He’s studying you.

“I would,” he says, voice lower now. “I’d like to know everything, actually. What makes you blush like that. What makes you laugh. What you’re thinking about right now.”

Your breath hitches, and you glance away, embarrassed at how easily he disarms you.

“I was thinking about leaving before you woke up,” you admit softly.

He doesn’t flinch. Just tilts his head again, watching you carefully. “Why didn’t you?”

You hesitate. You could lie. Say the waffles smelled good. Say you were too tired, too lazy to slip out the door. But the words that come out are the truth before you even realize they’ve left your mouth.

“Because you were warm,” you whisper. “And you… held me like you meant it.”

Jiyong’s expression softens, the cocky edge to his smile fading into something more intimate.

“I did,” he says simply. “Mean it.”

He leans forward then, elbows on the table, his knee brushing yours again, slower this time. “You don’t have to run. Not yet. Finish your eggs. Let me make you another coffee. And if you want to pretend this is more than what it started as—just for a little while—I won’t stop you.”

Your fork hovers above the plate. You blink. Slowly.

“Would you?”

“What?”

“Want it to be more?”

He gives you that look again—like he’s peeling you open, thought by thought.

“I don’t say this often,” he murmurs, “but I’d like to see you again. After today. Clothes on, preferably. But if you insist…” He trails off, that devilish smirk returning as he reaches over and gently plucks a crumb from your lip with his thumb. “Either way, I’m not in a rush to forget you.”

The air between you feels charged now, humming with possibility.

You glance at the clock on the wall, then at your phone lighting up with unread messages.

And then you look at him. Barefoot, shirtless, tattooed and calm as ever. Sitting across from you like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

And suddenly, leaving doesn’t feel so urgent anymore.

-

Three days later, you spot him across the room before your brain fully registers it. You’re standing in the corner of a dim bar downtown, wrapped in soft laughter and secondhand smoke, a friend’s drink in one hand and your phone in the other—when a shift in energy pulls your gaze to the far end.

And there he is. Jiyong. In all black. Rings on his fingers, tattoos peeking past the rolled sleeves of a button-down shirt that doesn’t belong in this dive but looks obscenely good on him anyway. He’s got a glass of something dark in one hand and a lazy grin on his face like he owns the place—or maybe just the moment.

He sees you before you can pretend otherwise.

His brows lift in subtle recognition, like, well, well, look what the universe dragged in.

You brace for a nod, a polite smile, maybe a wave if he’s feeling generous.

Instead, he starts walking toward you. Of course, he meant what he said the other morning. How could you doubt that?

You try not to panic.

“Twice in one week?” he says when he reaches you, his voice smooth enough to drown in. “I must be dreaming.”

“I could say the same,” you reply, sipping your drink to give your mouth something to do. “You stalking me now?”

“If I were, I’d be better at it.” His grin widens. “I would’ve ‘bumped into’ you with better lighting. Maybe coffee. Less noise.”

“You make it sound like a date.”

His eyes skim down your figure—slowly, appreciatively, with enough heat to make your stomach flutter. You loved how he didn't have to touch you, reach for your hip or even pull you close to entice you. it was the way his eyes trailed you and the delay in his words because he was studying every minor expression, making sure to catch every little way your nerves peeked through to him.

“It could be.”

You scoff, trying not to smile. “Pretty bold for a guy I only spent one night with.”

“Pretty bold for a girl who stayed for breakfast,” he counters, and your cheeks heat instantly.

You hate how easy it is with him—how his presence nudges something loose in you. Something that hasn’t felt this alive in a long time.

“What are you drinking?” he asks, already flagging the bartender over without waiting for your answer.

“You don’t even know if I want to keep talking to you.”

“Then tell me to walk away,” he challenges, voice lower now. “Say the word and I’ll vanish.”

You open your mouth, but nothing comes out. And he knows. Damn it, he knows.

He leans in, breath brushing your ear as he murmurs, “Didn’t think so.”

A drink is set in front of you. Your favorite, somehow.

You stare at it, then back at him. “How did you—?”

“I remember more than just how you sound when you fall apart,” he says, soft but wicked. “You talk in your sleep, remember?”

You shake your head, exhaling a laugh. “I really shouldn’t like you.”

“But you do,” he replies, clinking his glass gently to yours. “At least a little.”

You sip. He watches.

It’s dangerous, this game. But the pull is magnetic, impossible to ignore.

You can still feel echoes of the night—his hands on your hips, grounding you as if he needed you steady just as much as you needed to fall apart. The way he looked at you in the half-light, eyes dark and unwavering, like he wasn’t just seeing your body but memorizing every way you moved beneath him.

You remember the way his breath stuttered when you whispered his name, the way he slowed down right before you shattered, like he wanted to make it last. Like he wanted to remember the exact moment you gave in.

And the way he held you after—arms tight, heartbeat steady, no words exchanged but everything said. Peppering soft kisses on your shoulders. That kind of sexual chemistry is rarely produced on the first time together. You think that might be why you can't stop thinking about it.

“Tell me something real,” you say suddenly, voice steadier than you feel. “Something not smooth or sexy. Just… real.”

Jiyong pauses. And then, without flinching, “I haven’t stopped thinking about you.”

He says it like a confession—quiet, raw. Not just words, but truth with teeth.

And just like that, your breath catches. A heat appears in your stomach and slowly drips to the spot between your thighs. Fuck he's got you.

“I don’t do well with what-ifs,” he adds. “I like answers. So tell me—are you just a night I got lucky with, or are you someone I’m going to keep finding in every crowd I walk into?”

You avoided this question the other day, though you knew what you wanted, but you couldn't be sure that he was telling the truth. Men are... men.

You don’t answer right away. Not because you don’t know, but because the world seems to still itself for a moment—like it’s holding its breath, waiting alongside you. The clatter of glasses, the hum of conversation, the low thump of bass-heavy music—it all fades into something distant, muffled beneath the sudden rush of your pulse.

His eyes are steady on you, searching, quiet but intent. His hand rests on the bar, just inches from yours, and somehow the space between your skin feels more alive than touch itself. It would take nothing—just the tiniest lean—for your fingers to brush. But neither of you moves. Not yet.

Your heart is louder than the music now, beating against your ribs like it wants to answer before your mouth does.

You take another sip, mostly to ground yourself, partly to stall. The drink is smooth, familiar. Comforting in a way nothing else here is. You let the silence stretch, let the moment thicken, until the words come out softer than you mean them to—fragile, like a truth you weren’t quite ready to speak aloud.

“I guess that depends,” you say, lifting your eyes to his. “On how good the next breakfast is.”

For a second, he’s still—just watching you, like he’s replaying the words in his head to make sure they’re real. And then, slowly, that grin breaks across his face. Not cocky. Not playful. But warm. Quietly stunned. Like you’ve just handed him a second chance he didn’t know he was hoping for. Like you’ve made something possible that didn’t exist a moment ago.

And just like that, the night shifts.

Something unspoken settles between you—delicate, uncertain, but undeniable.

“Oh, sweetheart,” he murmurs, stepping closer. “You haven’t even tasted my pancakes yet.”

Oh?

SMG4 self insert concept?

And its traditional art?

Hm

(I couldnt sleep or get the concept out of my head hksbdkc so i doodled it on paper lol, will make a digital version... at some point) (edit: boom shakalaka i did it)

About time i made an SMG4 oc LMAO i keep seeing so many cool creative ones and im like. Man i wanna join in too 😭

AND SO I DID. for the funyy

Meet SMGL:E, or Super Meme Guardian Lore: Error!!

Or you can call them Lore for short, or Error if you dont want to get them confused with my actual sona lol

Basically a messed up meme guardian whose pod decided her avatar would be Princess Peach, but since Peach is... well... A monster thingie of some sort, their file got a little corrupted and messed up so now they look like that.

They also are evil >:))) so evil mwahahaha (and by evil, i mean that the evillest thing he can do is steal candy from a baby, but even then thats iffy)

(They also think Karen is kinda neat but shhshh no one said that)

Might do more with them, possibly

[vaaaaaiolet]

Have u ever hit a hard core slump and if u have how did u get out of it ? 😭

hardcore slump, you say.

BOY HAVE I

tl;dr:

EAT WORDS

jot down stuff over time in a dump sheet with not a SINGLE intention of turning them into full-fledged writing

eject any self-imposed deadlines from your brain

and boom shakalaka YES GAWD you'll be writing again in no time.

what gets me into writing slumps is when i'm either:

1) not interested in the thing i'm writing about

2) frustrated with my writing quality.

if you go to my masterlist, the longest i've gone w/o posting anything is ~3 months but i've DEFINITELY had longer periods where i didn't write anything at all. they just happened before i started writing fic.

imo, a lot of that "stuck" feeling we associate with writer's block comes from not exposing ourselves to a variety of writing styles and getting stuck in the predictable flow of our own. this is where my EAT WORDS philosophy comes in.

i want you to get your hands on whatever writing (books, poems, shows, blogs, articles, nutrition labels LMAO) sparks ANY interest. act like you found an all-you-can-eat grazing table after 3 straight ramadans of fasting. DON'T STICK TO STUFF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH!! i was a voracious reader as a kid and that translated into a love for writing bc i learned about so many interesting words and ways to arrange them that i wanted to try doing it myself. get creative!! writing is a creative art!! YOU are a creative person. think of this as adding fuel to a depleted creativity tank.

then i want you to keep a running scrapbook doc of interesting words or phrases that you add onto whenever something strikes your fancy.

i'm talking less MLA citations and more like random musings that pop into your brain while watching sunlight stream through your kitchen windows, lighting up a bowl of mandarins into a thousand splendid suns (FANTASTIC book btw). collect quotes!! include screenshots!! notion is excellent for this but you can totally carry around an old-school notebook like a bona fide author too. don't let grammar rules get in the way!! stop judging yourself!! there's no such thing as a stupid addition to your blurb sheet. i'll even give you an example of how stupid you can be by showing you mine and you might recognize a few lines from my fics LMAO

this does 2 things: you get practice playing with phrasing without the metric ton of pressure that comes with "actually" writing, and you get a personalized bank of handmade writing prompts for the future that imo work better than the super blah generic ones on writing blogs from 2015.

and finally!! FORGET THAT YOU NEED TO WRITE

the more pressure you put on yourself to write the next classic novel, the less likely you are to get it done by any foreseeable deadline. if you give in to the writing slump demon whispering in your ear that YOUNEEDTOWRITENOWNOWNOW, you're not going to get anything done, trust me. reverse-psychology your writer's block by reading and feeding your creativity. being a writer also means being a reader. you can't be one without the other. take a backseat, let yourself love reading again. think of it as researching what it's like for the person on the other end of your future work; how are you going to write well if you don't even know what you like to read? let your creativity take a breather!!

if you're any kind of writer (which you are), the itch to write ALWAYS, inevitably comes back. before you know it, you're going to be scribbling on notebook margins and scrambling awake at 1 am to write down half-sentences. a slump is not the be all end all!! it's just your writing skills telling your brain that they needs time to catch up with your excellent creative vision :)

GO FORTH AND WIELD YOUR MIGHTY PEN, ANON!! i wish you the very best of luck in all your writing endeavors, and i hope this yapfest was somewhat helpful LMAOOO <3

[tonycries]

i got a bf now i think😭😭 i mean he said he wants a serious relationship with me and loves me and we met on discord TODAY(may 1st morning) he's also kinda....horny???? like he asked me to send a picture of my chest and talked about doing the shakalaka boom boom when we meet😭😭☝️ and is kinda pestering about late responses(bro i forget i get messaged when im on Pinterest) but other than that he's super sweet, we've already talked sooo muchh sjdjf our signs are aquarius and pisces so its a decent match too(?) he matched my freak haaarrddd👉👈, we already discussed our meetup irl and his favorite colour is white djdnjsjshdhdjfn but still I'd like your opinion, is he good for me?😩😩

[m1ckeyb3rry]

never too soon for another ask game my goat

20, 4 and 24 for nagi and phainon (i have a feeling. ur gonna say. their fates. 😔 but i do wanna hear what you would change if there is anything 🤔)

-sumi

MY GOATT when no one else has got me ik you’ve always got me 🤑 hehe I WILL TRY TO KEEP IT MORE ORIGINAL JUST FOR YOU 🙂‍↕️💪🏻

[ask game!]

20 — if you have more than one blorbo, do you love them all equally?

if you mean between nagi and phainon LMAOAO i would like to say yes actually!! phainon gets recency bias and nagi has been around longer so i think they cancel each other out…also like the way i like both and the feelings they elicit are different?? with nagi it’s like beautiful sad lonely man let me love you into normalcy with phainon it’s like BOOM SHAKALAKA LET ME DIE IN YOUR ARMS AND CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR LIFE IRREVERSIBLY 😍🤤

4 — what’s the thing you love the most about your blorbo?

well visuals aside…i think for nagi it’s how like. guilelessly sweet he is?? LMAAOO he’s just very honest and blunt and kind in his own way and i think it’s sm more meaningful when someone like him expresses love or concern as opposed to a character that IS more well adjusted 🙂‍↕️ as for phainon i think it’s the way he is so gentle and charming and you KNOW he’s hurtling towards an inevitable tragedy which ruins him forever that gets me HAHAHA

24 — if you could change one canonical thing about your Blorbo, what would it be?

for nagi i would change it so that he plays brainrot games instead of fps games LMAAO i do it in my fics already but idk there’s smth sm funnier about imagining him just being really really into candy crush and subway surfers as opposed to first person shooter games 😪 and phainon bro i’m changing his fashion sense FJDJJS as endearing as the style blindness is i can NOT be seen in public with the yellow shirt + purple pants combo 😭🙏🏻 and aglaea can only do so much…real change must come from within 😩

[wholemeallbread]

help me decide: shidou, sae, or kaiser

this is an extremely important question that provides little to no contexf, but ill give you my (multiple) answers. (im really bored)

before i waste your time (i still am going to waste your time writing this entire thing) i have a theory that ur going to draw smth... the short answer is mostly kaiser but i have like another little bit under the cut and the rest is yap (if u think im joking i genuinely wrote 4 paragraphs on some random questions)

So! sae sae sae sae sae he doesnt seem like he would habs big muscles... hes just kinda 🧍‍♂️ ykwim? 🕴️. HOWEVER I DO THINK HE WOULD COPY SNAPS LIKE THAT!! thats him in his silly mood. we love that for him. shiddouuuuu might be the same case. does he even train his body or is it just natural from practice? then again he picks up charles like hes nothing but it could just be adrenaline. i think shidou would have big chesticles but lets not delve into that... KAISER ANYWHA!!! he may look lean but if he FLEXES youll see some apples (hello what does rhis even mean) i think he takes pride in his stature but he only shows it off when need be.. to shut the haters out if ykiwmwiym. sleeper build but its like lean. i would say boom shakalaka

but if we're talkinf ahour rhis specific trend i havent seen one for shidou yet. but would sae (in question, if hes the one asking) really go BOOM SHAKALAKA? or would it be someone else? but who is the question. literally nobody likes him like that except for sae and charles really wouldnt say that either... HEAR ME OUT ON THIS THEORY! HIORI!!! i think i saw somewhere that shidou watched him play games on his phone ajd honestly who wouldnt like hiori. would hiori like him back? nop. according to the bllk bible or whatever 🤓☝️ hioris type is someone who gives him space. shidou.. heh.. spaceless. he is your space.

lets say in theory which one would be the best to date. kaiser is not an option. emotionally it would be shidou. it may not show because sae is equally as freaky, but i 100% beleive that he will always try to match your vibe. he's always trying his best... slightly pathetic slightly concerning but the effort is clear. physically, it would be sae. he may not be emotionally available but he would take care of you or whatever... OUT OF BOREDOM. wat an asshoel! this sounds bad but youd be more like a sea monkey to him. yk sea monkeys? those fish that u can get like eggs and dump them into a container... and then they just exist... and u cant do anything with them... (i was going to say smth else but lets keep this pg 😼) yeah

now lest say in theory youre stuck on an island and you're left with one of them. sae is the worst because he cant do anything and hes a worthless bum! we all cheered! shidou hm.... we have no backstory yet so we dont really know what his life was like. in theory, if there was a tiger on the island, he will fight it barehanded. kaiser is 1# but thats kinda sad so we wont expand on that. theres a chance that he knows what to do, but hell make you do it in his place. and then he gets a flashback and runs into the forest never to be seen again

if ur thinkinf avout who to write for thenn hmmm... i dont really think a lot of people read for shidou?? i just never see many fics for him. kaiser is also great but i think its difficult to put a finger on his character/personality without knowing his entire backstory first (im guilty of this) and how he would really act around somebody he loves bc we just dont see that. if anything, we are all in #saveness squad and no you dont have the option to leave. our nonchalant king sae can sometimes be boring, but if u write him right (heh rhyme pun) and make him a little... cheeky... heh.... 😼😼😼

if its for a theme... hm.... shidou really doesnt have that many pretty scenes/panels yk?? he looks constipated half of the time. his bowels need some help. or a creep. we accept that either way. my personal pick for you 🫵 would be kaiser bc u just give me 🅱️lue vibes.

New Achievement! I Am A Rock, I am an Island!

See, Simon and Garfunkel had the right idea - IF you're a casting class, you have a shit-ton of tomes and scrolls, AND siege weaponry.

Crawler @clearbrightlight:

New Achievement! Hanging By A Thread!

It's not often a crawler surprises and delights me with something I haven't seen before, but I don't think I realized that unpicking threads from one magical garment and weaving a pattern with threads from another could combine attributes so effectively - I mean, on one hand, I feel like this is an exploit and I should patch it, but on the other hand, I feel like any other crawlers who spend enough time learning how to do this witchcraft bullshit have in fact earned their outcome. I'll allow it!

THAT MEANS YOU, MUDSKIPPERS, BRAIN SLUGS. I SAID I'LL ALLOW IT! YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!

(please, do this, even with small and silly mobs/quests, it makes giving achievements so much easier!)

[dreamsb0u]

Ok so, I have another AU idea that I may or may not persue 

Imagine the bad guys but in og Dreamtale

NM accidentally falls asleep while reading and Dream is in the village doing labour for the residents so no one notices when this little skeleton kid creeps up to the tree and starts counting the beetles on it, Nightmare wakes up and is- understandably- a little freaked out and demands to know Killer’s intentions. Killer points out the beetles like it’s the most obvious answer ever and Nightmare just stares at him until they begin to talk and eventually Killer declares himself as Nightmare’s friend- so yay! Nightmare now has his first ever friend!

One day, Killer drags over a kid and his brother who are starving and injured and asks Nightmare to help them- Nightmare manages to heal them and Dream comes back, sees their condition and sneakily steals some food from the villagers (he is not a perfect angel). The kids talk after this and now Nightmare has another person (aside from Dream) willing to die for him.

Killer one day, along with Horror- drags up a kid who is very vocally NOT HAPPY with Killer and Nightmare is a bit scared of this kid who seems to be pretty angry and violent. Killer says that since Nightmare knows half of the gang he has to know the other half. Nightmare is a bit confused because there is not half of other people which Killer is dragging with him and asks about it. Killer says that the other member isn't allowed to come at the moment and Nightmare is introduced to Dust who is startlingly apathetic towards him.

It's been a few weeks since Nightmare's met Killer at this point and he isn't surprised to see Killer dragging up another kid at this point. This one seems to be very hesitant and talking to Killer about 'getting in trouble' or something. Dream is also here and he greets the two with Nightmare following after him. Cross is way too uptight with the twins even as they insist that (s)he doesn't need to use formalities. XGaster in this AU has drilled it into Cross's head that (s)he needs to treat the guardians with utmost respect. This eventually makes their meetings very awkward and Killer tells Cross to 'calm the fuck down' to which both Dream and Nightmare blank because where are these kids learning swear words? (Ignoring blatant hypocrisy here).

One day Killer runs up to Nightmare with a wooden sword and the rest of the gang and before Nightmare can react- Killer shoves the sword into his hands and demands he spars with Killer to prove he is strong enough to be part of ‘the gang’.

Killer is fast and confident but Nightmare has years of experience with fighting from protecting the tree so he quickly knocks Killer flat on his (non existent) ass and Killer, obviously, is a little butthurt (lol) but quickly gets over it and basically adopts Nightmare into their group.

Killer extends the offer to Dream after he is beaten by him too but Dream refuses, saying that he doesn't have the time. No one takes this to heart and boom shakalaka now Nightmare has some besties lets fucking goooooo

In this au, Nightmare doesn't get completely corrupted as a result of the apples- instead he's stopped by Dream and the gang from consuming more than 4 apples considering the fastest time anyone's eaten an apple in is like 30 seconds meaning that he'd have to eat at the speed of light to devour that shit quick enough. This results in Nightmare staying Nightmare but because of the apples- he has a vengeful spirit following him around and having short bursts of possession. This causes an immense amount of stress and Nightmare begins to get chronic pain from the weight the excess of the apples has on his bones.

The story basically follows a group of kids who have intense issues and a taste for pranks. There is a lot of shenanigans and hijinks.

Tldr; Nightmare becomes friends with the gang in his own AU where they're all children. they manage to stop him from eating all the apples and it follows their tomfoolery in the universe.

fem!shouyou & wakatoshi siblingssss

-they became siblings because Hinata’s mother married Ushijima’s dad when Hinata was 5 years old and Ushijima’s 8. Natsu is born sometime later.

-Hinata’s biological father has died when she was around 2 years old so she barely remembers him. Ushijima’s parents are divorced when he was 4 and because his dad is always traveling because of his job he was always with his mother but that doesn’t mean that they are not close in fact the love for volleyball came from his dad. his parents are still in a good relationship because they want Ushijima to have a happy life. And when Hinata’s mother and Ushijima’s father got married they invite ushijimas mother to the wedding. their respective mothers got along so well also that co-parenting included shouyou. the fact that Ushijima’s mother always wants a daughter.

-their parents met in brazil and boom shakalaka they started dating of course with permission from Hinata,wakatoshi, and somewhat from Ushijima’s mother.

-Hinata likes wakatoshi at first sight and vice versa, they treat each other as siblings from the start.

-Hinata likes watching beach volleyball near their house and fell in love with volleyball in general when she met her stepdad and brother.

-the first thing that wakatoshi did when she met Hinata is to teach her volleyball. his dad joined them because he feared that he might accidentally hurt Hinata.

-she started training beach volleyball at 7 and go pro at 11. And like her brother she goes hella crazy and spike balls that can tear your arms off.

-She becomes well known in Brazil with the nickname of ninja shouyou.

-Another similarity between these siblings is their bluntness and arrogance but Shouyou’s arrogance is toned down than Ushijima’s. they know that their win is absolute. they want to find out who will win if they clash with each. they never care if one is a girl and shorter and younger than the other. But outside of volleyball, they coddle each other privately (for Ushijima. but even in public, you will not see them 10 meters apart if they are in the same country. cause did you see his sister .that girl can replace the sun and can turn heads wherever she goes. But then Hinata’s be like ‘no you are the attractive siblings’.)

-Shouyou grew up as an attractive teen. Lean muscle acquired from training, slightly tan skin because of the sun, and the most gorgeous and cutest face. like hello, stop being perfect. but shes still small and tiny.

-But while Ushijima is a perfect example of a stoic gentleman aside from his arrogance, Hinata Shouyou is a crazy piece of shit. she does just for her own amusement that Ushijima just can’t stop her that he signs himself as the lookout and the apologizer. and it gets worse when shouyou met another crazy person named tendou satori. together they cause havoc.

-but there are times that Hinata stops Ushijima to make someone cry from his blunt speech called ” why some people suck, and why that group includes you.”

-But Hinata also likes to do that speech but with sunshine and flowers surrounding her background that it feels like an honest critique and not petty insults from her. it got worse if they tag team, grown men will cry.

-Mother Hinata suddenly wants to move to Japan when shouyou is 15 and Natsu is 8 because she wants Natsu to embrace his family’s culture.

-And as a Hinata shouyou move, she begs her mom to tell her older that they will leave Hinata behind because of her career and that Hinata herself wants it that way(tell me whhyyyy~~~aint nothing but a heartbreak) and she will stay with her coach's family.

-This works because Wakatoshi’s school is a boarding school. they only leave to go home if there are holidays.

-because she believes that men and women should be equal she searches for a co-ed volleyball club and lo and beholds Karasuno Volley Club is a co-ed team.

-she transfers midway through the school year. so anytime between inter-high and the Tokyo training arc. (also the fact I love Bokuto and Hinata’s relationship. these two birds should be unleashed and at the same time be protected)

-and she enters the gain a lot of friends cause you know she’s Hinata. and by the permission of the vice-principal and Takeda Sensei she enters the volleyball club.cue op playing.

-they like her instantly and easily treat her as a younger sibling even if she is the oldest first year. Kageyama still treats her like in canon but more like a bestie and with more respect. She and tsukkishima have more playful bullying with each other. Nishinoya and Tanaka treat her between like their younger brother and like how they treat their manager. Yachi and her are easily seen almost together and Kiyoko is fond of her.

-while Kageyama is easily adjusting in karasuno because of the third year they still can’t always easily hit his usual set but of course, he adjusted them for his team. But while playing with Hinata in his team he accidentally set them faster but hinata is already there hitting his set. thus Karasuno freak duo was born.

NOTES

“Candy and whip”, AKA carrot and stick. Basically, offering rewards to someone as an incentive to do good and punishing them if they don’t.

“Bedside dreams”, or the space where your dreams reside. The chrysanthemum is the imperial flower of Japan, but in hanakotoba white chrysanthemums usually mean truth/grief, and are incredibly common at funerals. Tldr, you aren’t dreaming, you’re dead.

Dogra Magra is a surrealist, psychological thriller book written by famous Japanese author Yumeno Kyūsaku (actually a pen name), in which a man wakes up in a hospital with amnesia. He might be a murderer, but he also might not be, and everyone else in the book might not be who they say they are or even as dead as they’re supposed to be. It is, mostly, a book about psychoanalysis.

The antlion is a type of insect that, surprise surprise, eats ants. The larvae, which is the more popularly known form of the antlion, achieves this by digging pits that ants fall into. Another name for the larvae of antlions is doodlebug, but that seemed out of character for Gentaro to say… you can pretend he does if you want to, though.

The literal translation of “ghost stories” would be “demon play” (鬼物), which is the fifth and last stage of an Edo-era Noh play.

Dice uses onomatopoeia here to signify the act of jumping into a pool, like he’s doing a cannonball.

More onomatopoeia here, read as chimachima, which signifies someone doing a task in a less effective, much slower way when it could be done far more efficiently.

Dice finishes this line with a very obvious “nya” sound, but he also phrases it as a question? So I merged the two and made a pun instead.

It’s traditional in Japan for people to get together during spring for “flower viewing parties” in which they appreciate the transient beauty of cherry blossoms, because of how quickly the flowers bloom and then fall away. That phenomenon is what Jakurai is referencing here.

I’ll be honest I have no idea what this means. The pomegranate is a symbol of fertility and femininity in Japan, however, so maybe it represents Chuuoku?

Automatic turnstiles/ticket gates, like the kind you’d find in railway stations.

Asakusa was a popular entertainment district during the Edo period, but has since been surpassed by Shinjuku and other districts/wards thanks to the damage dealt by bomb raids during WW2.

Jinpachi’s MC name. Just so I don’t have to do this every time, all of Asakusa say their MC names in English.

An ‘onigawara’ is actually the name for a type of roof ornament in Japanese architecture, which is a statue/tile depicting the face of an oni (demon), intended to ward away evil (and bad weather). They’re commonly found on Buddhist temples. The “bomber” part of the division name probably has to do with the aforementioned WW2 thing.

This guy has the thickest Edo accent. His “the hell” is an shortened version of an old retort/catchphrase of Tokyo citizens (“what the hell are you saying/talking about?”). “Geisha” and “ladle” are both references to cultural aspects of Asakusa, as it is currently Tokyo’s oldest geisha district, and in the Buddhist Sensō-ji temple located there (the oldest in Japan) you purify yourself with ladles of water.

The expression “never come again” stems from the more literal phrase of “come the day before yesterday” - essentially, a day that won’t ever exist again.

A reference to an old song from the 1960s by the Folk Crusaders. It tells the story of a man who dies in a traffic accident while drunk driving and goes to heaven, but gets kicked out and comes back to life for spending too much time drinking with beautiful women.

Bacchus, the Greek/Roman god of fruit, vegetables, ecstasy and wine. Also known as Dionysus.

A reference to Tango no Sekku/Children’s Day on May 5th in Japan, in which carp streamers are flown to celebrate. This is the last day of Golden Week.

Ni-hachi (Doshiro’s MC name) is a kind of soba. He’s essentially saying “it’s so late in the song, but you haven’t had a taste of me yet”.

“Sensō-ji”, or Asakusa Temple. It is the oldest temple in Tokyo.

Shitamachi is the name for the geographically lower half and (once) lower-class of Tokyo, which is considered more traditional than its Yamanote counterpart.

We got episode 3 “Into the Digital World”! And the good news is we are still Very Much at it with the Taishiro lol

This pic pretty much sums up the whole episode for me:

❤️!

Spoilers under the cut...

So let’s knock the most important thing off right away, at the end of the ep they DO go to a real digital world!

And it looks like a child’s fantasy... a beautiful natural world full of amazing creatures. I have no idea how similar it’s gonna be to the world we know, though! So far everything’s different, even things that seem the same. Keeps me guessing.

The landscape is pretty intriguing. Looks like a planet/moon on the horizon? And I’m sure that interesting island’s gotta mean something...

But back to the beginning.

So last week, I was all boggled because they introduced Omegamon and Jogress so early. It was easy to think that since they’d started this hype wave, they were gonna keep riding it out, especially with Hikari and Takeru seeming to receive magic feathers and all. Well, that’s not really how it goes down.

The battle is very quiet, with few words - none at all from Taichi or Yamato until Koushirou gets their attention. I am not 100% sure about this, but from the way Taichi looks to the side when an attack comes his way and Omegamon then takes it out, I think it might mean Taichi and Yamato have some mental work of their own to do to help Omegamon fight and that’s why they’re so quiet. But that’s just a thought. I do love the idea that the kids’ ties to their Digimon have more of an affect on their ability to battle than just their evolutions.

One thing a Jogress does is make you glow. Yeah yeah, we glowed before too. No, I mean GLOW.

Like, nonstop.

Also, I have figured out that Taichi and Yamato must have suction cups on their shoes and that’s how they don’t fall off Omegamon while he’s hurtling all over the place

Cue awesome rock version of the theme song battle music!! Omegamon kills nu!Diaboromon the same way he kills him in Our War Game, with a STAB. But that doesn’t stop the missile. Here I thought would be Koushirou’s turn to shine, but aside from continuing to keep tabs on things, he doesn’t get to join in the fight this time.

Omegamon is somehow able to detect missiles, I guess?

And lock on to the infected one, which conveniently shows an actual lock, is red, and even has the monster’s eyeball symbol. We also see a bunch of Digi code before this.

He absorbs the powers of all the Crests into his sword (!!) ...

(notice they’re still glowing!)

... and stabs it. Because in Digimon, stabbing is always the answer.

BOOM shakalaka

People of Tokyo: Wow that’s bright! I should probably avert my eyes or put on sunglasses. But first, to Instagram!

Thanks, Kouushirou’s computer.

The missle blows up way up high and no one gets hurt. They also don’t seem to care all that much about what this is either! Seconds later everyone’s devices lose power, including Koushirou’s computer. He is very distressed, but the outage doesn’t last long.

Yamato and Taichi’s suction cups finally lose their grip and they fall away into a bright light...

Omegamon became a butterfly!!

It is now certain, Taichi didn’t pull a Kouichi xD He’s perfectly fine. That’s the RIGHT way to get in and out of the digital world at a train station. Take notes, kids.

OK before we move on I must take a second to appreciate these text messages Koushirou receives from someone named Mr.Unknown (gee I’m sure we’ll never hear from him again!)

OMG my life is

WHAT KIND OF REACTION IS THAT TO YOUR IMMINENT DEATH!?!?

“Someone stop it!” Suddenly Japanese (also from Mr.Unkown)

Twenty bucks says this guy is Gennai? Ryou? Wallace? KEN?!

no don’t bet against me please, I have no money.

Have an adorable Hikari, who didn’t get to do anything with the feather in the end. Who knows if she even really has it. She DOES seem to totally know what happened with her brother though. Takeru might know also? But Hikari definitely does. Our little oracle is back.

So Taichi is fine, Koushirou is fine, Yamato is fine. They all get back to the human world safely. Taichi and Koushirou head home, wondering if all that really happened, talking about what could happen next. More importantly, the Taishiro power returns at full throttle.

Koushirou: Do you know about this? This? This?

Taichi: Hmm... hmmm... hmmm.. thinking makes my head hurt...

(Like I rag on Taichi for not thinking but tbh he’s quite the thinker and planner... maybe more so in this season than in the original.)

Gloves returned to pocket. Goggles still at the ready.

Then Taichi reaches out his hand... Koushirou stares at it like he’s not quite sure what to do with it. And Taichi’s like, “Thank you so much, for everything, you were a huge help!”

Koushirou: “But I didn’t do anything.”

Taichi: “You helped so much by doing all that research! You’re awesome!”

Koushirou: :D “Y-Yeah!!”

He agrees that he’s awesome!! My baby!!

They shake hands! They’re such good friends now!

... Then Taichi walks backwards out of the elevator with his hand still outstretched, staring at Koushirou

WHAT

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS!?!?

This show producers aren’t even TRYING to hide their bias hahaha okay that’s the Taishiro fan in me but HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO READ THIS SCENE CMON LIKE!?

So Taichi’s about to go home, and at this point I’m thinking “I guess Koushirou’s never gonna ask that question about camp...!”

Then Taichi is like, “Oh yeah, didn’t you have a question about camp?”

Fricking. TAICHI.

I am absolutely stunned that it’s him who brings up Koushirou’s original errand xD Koushirou himself has completely forgotten about it! (Too busy basking in the glow of being called awesome about twenty times in what this episode establishes is less than an hour!)

Seriously Taichi is SUCH A DAD!? His mom comes home and tells him about her day. Hikari comes over and he pats her on the head and tells her she was brave and did a good job. All he needs is a newspaper and a tie to reach peak Dad-ness.

Hikari: “Thanks big brother!”

Taichi: “...? For?”

So about Yamato... on the elevator Taichi realizes he never found out where Yamato lives...

... It’s Shimane. Grandma’s house in Shimane! Well I mean, they could make it somewhere else, but the point is it’s super inaka countryside. Yamato has a call with Takeru which makes it seem like they indeed don’t live together, as Takeru shyly asks Yamato if he’ll come visit since it’s summer break, and Yamato says he does intend to go to Tokyo and see him. Not sure yet who Yamato’s living with, if it’s still his dad or he lives with his grandparents in this version, or there’s some other reason he’s not in Tokyo...

Yamato also asks if Takeru’s okay, and Takeru replies he was inside all day so he’s fine. That’s what makes me think Takeru knows about Yamato going to the digital world. He might not, but I like the idea that he does. My guess would be he knows because he’s seen Yamato do it or something, whereas Hikari just knows because she’s psychic :P

Then guess what! WE GO TO CAMP!

Only for like, two minutes, though. That was a bummer for me. Camp is just a vehicle to introduce a couple other characters, then they go home. Well, we don’t need two of the exact same show I guess... I’ll just appreciate this as a nod to the original.

First we see Jou! He’s hancho again and trying to tell other kids how to use a knife. He immediately cuts his finger. Good ole Jou I can’t wait to have him back.

Taichi and Koushirou are walking around camp and Koushirou trips due to Jou yelling and basically throws his laptop straight into the air

Laptop: “FREEEEEDOM!”

Mr Superior Reflexes AKA Taichi quickly grabs Koushirou and prevents him from smashing face first into the dirt. GOSH THEY JUST WILL NOT STOP WITH THE TAISHIRO. I CANNOT.

Koushirou: “H-H-Human c-c-contact?!?!?! Is this SKINSHIP”

Like y’all know this isnt my fault right? I wouldn’t have to say these things if the show didn’t make it so durn easy. Bahahahaha.

Guess who catches the laptop! Soooooraaaaa!

My girl is back! She’s got butterflies!

Koushirou says he knows who she is because the girls in his class always talk about how she’s so cooooool!

This episode establishes that Sora is 1) popular 2) well-liked 3) responsible 4) quick-thinking 5) athletic 6) Taichi’s old friend 7) coooooool in like, thirty seconds.

Taichi and Koushirou continue to spend aaaaaall their time together. My one complaint here is that all they do is talk about the digital world. And while I know it’s no surprise, the one thing I always loved about old Adventure was that to a certain extent, the kids got to act like kids. Of course they had uncanny adult wisdom and ability to sit still, lol. I understand that. So far in this show, they’re not really acting like children even a little bit. It’s all superheroing. That’s how I feel at the moment though - the only one I expect to really act like a child is Takeru, and probably Mimi, I’d guess. I do hope we get to see a larger range of personality from all of them in the future. It is only episode three.

Koushirou’s icon is a pineapple <3

So there’s a new threat but it’s not as obvious as the old one. Another power outage happens but they don’t know how important it is right away. Then both Taichi and Koushirou’s digivices start to glow! Taichi runs out, and here we finally got some new personality from him, something beyond friendliness and bravery: He really, really wants to see Agumon again. He’s already feeling the depth of that bond and it’s really been weighing on him that they parted so abruptly. He has so many questions. I would say, Koushirou talked about the digital world non stop because he finds it interesting, but Taichi talked about it because he misses Agumon. (Koushirou after all hasn’t met Tentomon yet.)

Before he can run out, Taichi runs into Hikari in the living room. She’s worried, and she clearly knows what he’s up to, but all she says is “Itterasshai.” I super appreciate that the set up and lighting is the same as these scenes between the two of them in original Adventure! It’s a total throwback to that hallmark ep of Adventure, episode 21.

Unable to think about anything but seeing Agumon again, Taichi runs outside to the train station where Koushirou is (I wonder if the train station is going to become like their base point or something). He doesn’t even notice Sora, but she notices him...

... and in true Sora fashion, immediately turns around and starts chasing after Taichi without a word xD

ugh I will always hate how PINK she is in this

Sora: “Taichi’s running somewhere awful fast... he has that look on his face... he’s going to get into trouble ugh I just know it”

The digivices glow and both Taichi and Koushirou disappear into the digital world. As they go through the vortex, we see a bunch of colored lights...

So this one is clearly Taichi and Koushirou, and Sora as well. My guess is she gets swallowed up as a result of following Taichi.

However, over here we have Yamato, Jou, and Mimi, but why would they all be together? Yamato’s fine, but how are the other two getting in?

It doesn’t seem like Takeru’s joining this time, which is interesting. But I might be wrong - only episode 4 will tell.

Taichi wakes up in the real Digital World and is finally reunited with Agumon. End episode 3 <3

I’m really curious about what’s coming next! I’m still pretty shocked that a Jogress happened so early, but I’m gonna guess now that we might not see it again for a good long while. My prediction is that Yamato’s gonna be more like the lone wolves of other seasons (Ken, Ruki, Kouji, etc) who don’t want to join the main team right away, then suddenly just do. Everyone loves a rogue hero. I am super excited for the whole team to be together though so we can see all those personality dynamics grow! I really want them to not go home for a while and have to live by their wits, but I don’t think that’s the way this show wants to go, it wants the drama of going back and forth between lives... OTOH, we now know for sure that it IS summer break, so I suppose they don’t really have a NEED to go home. Maybe we’ll get a bit of both - they usually go home after, but sometimes end up on a longer stay?

I think what I need most from this show is the rest of the team before it will really feel like Digimon Adventure to me. So looking forward to episode 4!

eta: I totally forgot about the pics I took of the trailer for next week!

Look how awesome this is! This is exactly what I am hoping sticks around for a good long time! We need the partners to bond and we need to live up to the name of “Adventure”!

Since the trailer only shows Taichi and Sora, I wonder if that means everyone’s split up. Koushirou’s light seemed a bit distant from the other two in that screencap up there, so maybe he lands somewhere else and they all have to find each other. Makes sense, really. I’d expected that for the other three but figured Koushirou would be with Taichi... but it’ll be awesome if he has to try to get by on his own in the beginning. Also, so excited for Birdramon!

Bonus: I found a vid on youtube that claimed to have English subs and I clicked out of curiosity... this is what it wrote when Taichi says “Koushirou”:

X’D Koushirou has so many nicknames now. DJ Wiseman, Kou the Bro, Awesome, Taichi’s New God, Godzilla... I love Youtube.

- “Mmm, there seems to be some gunk on the ramp. Perhaps we should crane our necks upwards to see from whence it came” abdbdjwnTHESE OBLIVIOUS IDIOTS I LOVE THEM WITH MY WHOLE HEART

- The hand touching Leo’s head without anyone but Raph noticing is too funny

- Raph: “Bunch a jerks!” *whispers* “ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ’ᵗ ᵐᵉᵃⁿ ʸᵒᵘ”

- Foot Lieutenant using Lou Jitsu’s training video is precious

- OMG FOOT RECRUIT IS BACK :,D

- “Whew, you really need a hobby” 😂

- Donnie mounted on Raph’s shell is exactly the kind of little brother-big brother content I needed

- Leo, you’re so close to solving the puzzle as to why the paper ninja is going after red-clad things. You oblivious little shit, you have my whole heart

- Leo is doing the 2012 ninja run. I feel a bit nostalgic if I’m honest

- Also, I love how Donnie’s tech is probably quicker than that, but he stays behind to keep in pace with his brother. THAT, OR Leo and the other boys are just as fast as his tech. OR MAYBE Donnie uses his tech to fly around because he’s not as fast as his brothers. OR MAYBE EVEN the creators didn’t think that far into it

- Leo is sporting some major leader vibes this episode

- I was so expecting that Leo would pull a Mantis from Infinity War “kick names, take [butt]” MISSED OPPORTUNITY NICK

- Also, I love how Leo just completely acts like he’s never seen Foot Lieutenant before in his LIFE

- “wE wIlL nEvEr kNoW~”

- *whispers* my extreme pleasure !

- OMFG THIS IS WHY I LOVE LEO

- Leo is -ugh- the BEST

- That leader vibe came out super quick when he was so fast to defend Buddy. Like he realized that Buddy meant so much to Raph. Ugh what a good brother. What a good leader. I stan

- And even Mikey waits until he gets an “okay” from his leader (*cough. Leo’s leader *cough. Let it happen)

- Also, does Mikey just constantly have markers on him? Where does he keep them? Does he keep them in Leo’s purse/medical kit thingy? Because that screams something a little brother would do

- FAST BOI LEO IS AT IT AGAIN

- “They grow up and turn against you so fast” I mean, ive never really thought about it, but maybe Foot Lieutenant does see his paper creations as like children of his ? Because I know how it feels to make a piece of artwork and feel very protective over it like it’s my own child. And I’m sure people who make origami are the same way

- OMG THAT POKÉMON REFERENCE

- Overall, super cute episode. Raph is just SO PRECIOUS. I will protect each and every one of these boys with everything I have. I’m so ready for Leo to bear the title of “leader”. He’s growing up so fast 😭

Now considering I did this with the first two Resident Evil films. But now I’m doing one with Doom. To be honest I stalled on this. 

I’m just gonna say some stuff. I love the Doom franchise, I love the video games. Including I love the character of Doomguy/Doom Slayer. But I’ve only seen bits of the movie and I have watched the first person scene on YouTube. Including I know how the movie goes with Filmcomicsexplained detailing the story of that 2005 movie.

Including I just don’t wanna watch the movie. Because it’s one of those video game movies that just doesn’t treat it’s source material right enough, and just doesn’t overall seem like a good film. Even if it had little things you can like. Along with the fact despite the upcoming movie Doom Annihilation having actual demons now. The idea Universal decided to put it as a direct to video movie instead of in theaters. Which is really disappointing but considering the 2005 film bombed, I could understand. But the fact of how the film looks and just.....it’s stupid. Despite some things I have read that Doomguy is in the film still.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind it two ways. One we might not get another Doom film again or just maybe we shouldn’t get one. Two a Doom film can work in some regards. Yet to be honest I feel like what I read of people wanting a, “Avengers” big movie seems very ridiculous and I wouldn’t mind a low budget or just....a simple movie can work.

But I shouldn’t make that the point. The point of this post is a what if situation of if that first Doom movie was while a loose adaption, a better movie that respects the source material more. Basically actual demons and other shit. Yet also I have thought about taking elements from the games and even well novels. Which might piss some fans off of the novels part. Don’t worry the demons aren’t aliens they are actually still demons and not mutants like in the film. 

Yet the idea was of to make a film that I guess honors the Doom franchise. While also mainly sticking with the original game. But also taking elements from other stuff such as Doom 3. Which is a game I do like as well. 

Basically a loose adaption that isn’t perfect but respects the Doom franchise itself and could be it’s own take on the franchise. Especially as someone who has thought of a Doom movie of how it could work. Such as taking elements from the 2016 game. But we are focusing on what was released in 2005. Honestly I’d should start making this now, sorry to ramble on.

Synopsis: It is 2022, humanity has been able to reach beyond Earth and go to other planets. Such as Mars with the corporation known as UAC has made it possible living there. Especially it’s moons Phobos and Deimos

But also behind the scenes, the UAC has been performing secret experiments with teleportation. Yet during these experiments they’ve unleashed something truly terrible. A portal to literal Hell. 

Now with the facility has been overrun with demons. Killing almost everyone and even many becoming possessed and acting like zombies. Especially it’s worse with other demons that are more ferocious such as the Imps, Pinky’s, and more. They are all over the UAC Mars Research Base, and Mars City.

A group of survivors try to survive this onslaught. When all hope seems lost, a marine(Dwayne Johnson) who was punitively posted at the facility is determined to kill all the demons and make sure they don’t get back to Earth. Including take down the now insane Dr. Malcom Betruger(Robert Englund) who has sided with the demons, intent on helping them get to Earth.

Characters.

Dwayne Johnson as Flynn Taggart The Doomguy: A 29 year old corporal who is sent to the Mars facility to assist as punishment for assaulting his senior officer who ordered him to shoot a group of civilians. 

He’s more of a, “Actions speak louder than words” kind of guy. The, “Strong Silent Type” kind of marine. Doesn’t really speak unless he feels like it or if it’s necessary. Capable of handling all different kinds of firearms. Including being quite fast during combat, hardly stressed at all, and strong as hell.

Despite what makes him seem to be a brooding loner who doesn’t seem to care for anyone. Especially before the outbreak everyone looked at him as if he was a scary brute. He’s actually a man with a big heart. Such as helping a person calm down during a situation when they need it, and cares more about other the safety of other people’s lives than his own. A honorable marine who hates bullies and seems chill when there is no combat.

But when the outbreak of demons happens, his team of other marines who he has made friends with are killed when investigating the base. Along with also his pet rabbit he brought to Mars is killed by demons.

With his friends and his own pet he considered family killed, and the demons intention to get to Earth, Flynn is determined to make sure they never reach their goals. No matter how many there are and how powerful they are.

Including during combat, he wears a helmet to protect his head just in case.

Notes: As a fun easter egg instead of him being 30 years old. I decided to have him be born on the day the original Doom was released. Which is December 10 1993. Meaning well yeah this film would take place in December. 

Along with the fact I know Dwayne in the 2005 movie was offered to play John Grimm but he chose to play the sarge. I wanted to make this fan casting. Along with the fact while I do agree with the idea Doomguy is a character in his own right that doesn’t need to speak and again a actions speak louder than words kind of guy. Including the fact he’s supposed to be the player character. 

Yet this movie version of the Flynn character who is more serious and more akin to what Doomguy seems to be like. Such as even the 2016 games. Basically more serious than what the novels described Flynn as. 

This version is basically I guess a representation of Doomguy as a person. If we didn’t go with the route of no talking and other things. He’s a Doomguy in his own right. But it’s a different take that I did to best respect the original character if I had to go with the route if he had to talk and other stuff.

Including let’s have a fun scene like the final shootout scene of The Rundown(A film Dwayne Johnson was in) but it’s Doomguy with the demons. Just showcasing Doomguy’s badassness in the scene. I’m talking about the Boom Shakalaka scene which I had watched before making this post.

Karl Urban as John “Reaper” Grimm: One of the few marines that has survived the onslaught of the demon outbreak on Mars. A Staff Sargent who seems rather angsty years after his parents who were UAC scientists died in a accident. But still cares for his Samantha Grimm and also a new friend of his named Emma Grace. 

While he didn’t take a liking towards Flynn at first assuming Flynn didn’t care for anyone but himself. He realizes Flynn and him share the same values of honor and other things. Especially in a way similar losses to his own.

Notes: I’m gonna say I like Karl Urban and from what I know people liked Karl as Reaper who is basically the Doomguy in the movie. But I have not watched the movie fully and wondered if I should. So I can’t make my own opinion. But I decided to keep his character and decided to keep his back story too for people who liked him.

Robert Englund as Dr. Malcom Bertruger: The Research director at Mars. After being teleported into Hell once and made a pact with the demons. Once a respected man who has now become evil, showcasing more of who he is. Especially after years being on Mars and helping the demons prepare for the outbreak. 

Including he is also responsible for brining back a once dead demon back to life into the now powerful Cyberdemon.

Notes: Originally I was gonna have Mads Mikkelsen(who’s also awesome) as Bertruger. Mainly cause of a reviewers comparison of the character to Hannibal Lector or whatever. But I thought Robert Englund was just a fun choice and just the idea of Freddy Krueger is the one who unleashes these demons or whatever.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Emma Grace: A rookie security officer who has been at the Mars facility for a while now. While despite being a officer, she’s has shown to be paranoid and the demon outbreak makes it all worse. But when she meets Flynn, she becomes more courageous after being inspired by Flynn’s determination and bravery. 

Rosamund Pike as Dr. Samantha Grimm: The twin sister of John Grimm and a doctor at the Mars research facility. She was one of the few people who began noticing something was up with Bertruger. 

Considering people liked Reaper and what I’ve seen on Tumblr some folks liked Samantha so she’s here too.

List of demons: Imps, possessed soldiers and overall zombies, Cacodemons, Pinky’s, Lost Souls, Barons Of Hell, and the Cyberdemon. With them while looking demonic, it’s respecting the original source material. But the film can make it’s own take on the demons. Yet the point being they have color and they just look demonic as hell. Also you can tell which one is which or whatever.

The Cyberdemon in a way is the big demon antagonist of the film. Including for this film I decided to keep it simple by mainly using the demons from the first game.

Also I just wanna spoil the ending and just talk about that. Basically the survivors are Flynn, Reaper, Emma, and Samantha. But Flynn because he wants them all to survive and he personally wants to take on Hell himself. He makes sure they all escape to Earth, making sure none of the demons get to Earth.

Flynn takes on the Cyberdemon and kills it. Including he finds Bertruger and maybe kills him or Bertruger dies on his own. Maybe becoming the Maledict. But also Flynn purposely decides to trap himself in Hell to take on the forces of Hell. Which speaks volumes about his character because he wants to make sure no demons even set foot on Earth.

Including being in Hell gives him more power, such as more speed, more strength, and he can’t get tired. The demons prepare to brace themselves for their new found terror of the warrior who has literally stood up to them during the onslaught of Mars. With Flynn embracing his situation and runs towards the armies of Hell. In vengeance for every innocent person who was killed by the demons by also Daisy.

It’s also a call back to the ending of Doom 64. Along with the fact considering what happened with the first Doom film. While a excuctive producer said if the first film was successful, there would be a sequel, but the film bombed. Yet for this if a Hell On Earth happened. This film has a solid ending but it’s open in a way. With also a smooth transition to a sequel if it got one.

Also for this can we get a different director. Considering looking at the directors list of directed films on Wikipedia. Maybe someone else like Peter Berg, or Paul W.S. Anderson(Yes I said his name but I feel the director for the Doom movie might be not the best choice). I did think of including Robert Rodriguez, but I don’t know if I would trust him with how I envisioned this movie.

Besides I should say this, if wait Paul and Milla Jovovich weren’t married yet so she wouldn’t be involved. XD Besides I heard that Event Horizon by Paul W.S. Anderson is basically what the Doom movie should of been or something.

But yeah that’s a lot of wrote. Well I hope anyone who reads this enjoys this. Really it’s just a simple what if idea for that Doom movie. Just tell me your thoughts on this. Whether it’s an idea or advice. Again I just wanted to get this out of my system and out of the way. I’m done with the tags, hope you folks in the Doomguy tag don’t mind this.

Edit(also a 2nd edit forgot to put the last period at the end of this too) I’d forgot to mention if this got a Rotten Tomatoes score, it be 34% probably that, basically the 2002 Resident Evil’s score. I’d think I’ll leave it as that unless people think the film sounds better than it is.
