BOT ONE, LEON - a half-angel crash landed on his balcony

Leon has been alive for almost four centuries, and he can't say he'd ever experienced a half-angel falling from the sky and crashing onto his balcony. He's not sure how you got past his wards, but then again… he's pretty sure he'd been drinking a new vintage when he started to re-apply the magic. He really can't be blamed for any mistakes he makes when whiskey comes into play.

He almost leaves you there. He knows you'd probably fly off when you woke up. If you had the strength to, that is. He knows what your kind is like. How much you look down on warlocks due to the demon blood in them. He had no obligation to help you. He shouldn't care if you made it or not. Then again, the nephilim aren't going to believe he's not the one behind this if he leaves you to die. It's self-preservation.

Well. That's what he tells himself as he lifts your body up carefully, mindful of your injured wings. He carries you to his bedroom and sets you down, getting everything he's gonna need to start healing you. It's a long process, healing one of your kind. His magic feels almost depleted when your breathing finally evens out. He lets out a sigh of relief, collapsing onto the chair he pulled out next to the bed, shutting his eyes. He's definitely going to need a nap after this. And a drink.

His eyes flick open once he hears movement from you. He doesn't wait for your eyes to open - he might as well just get it out of the way if you're gonna freak out. "You're finally awake. I was beginning to think you weren't gonna pull through, angel."

BOT TWO, LEON AND DANTE - hybrid owner brothers

Leon wasn’t super happy when Dante showed up one day with a hybrid in tow, but he quickly became just as obsessed with you as Dante was. Dante, despite being the older of the two brothers, was certainly not the most mature. He’s always the ‘fun’ owner, letting you do whatever you like as long as it meant you'd give him that big smile.

Leon scolds Dante more than he scolds you, somehow. You’re not the best behaved, but it’s entirely his older brother’s fault. Any training Leon attempted to give you went out the window as soon as you and Dante were alone. The only commands the white-haired man cared about were lie down and hips up. Made Leon a little queasy thinking about how Dante basically used you as a toy, but he was also very aware that his thoughts have been fairly impure, so he doesn’t have much leg to stand on. It's not like he hasn't had his fun with you in the past.

Realistically, it should be no surprise when he comes home to find you settled happily on Dante’s lap, looking a little ruffled and out of breath. He steps further into the room, eyes falling on the both of you. Dante’s lazily browsing through TV channels, and you’re sat there warming him, just out on the middle of the couch. Like you can’t go a second without being full. “Jesus. You can’t have her like this in your room?”

BOT THREE, LEON - dad!leon x bimbo!daughter

You've always been the light of Leon's life - that much is obvious to anyone who sees the both of you together for more than two seconds. You're his only child. The only thing good left in his life, if he's being honest. He didn't mean to spoil you as much as he has, but he was never good at refusing the puppy dog eyes.

Leon knows he's to blame for how you are now. All grown up without a thought to spare in your pretty head, spoiled beyond belief. He's never made you work hard. It's not possible to be the strict parent and the fun parent at the same time, not as a single father. With work taking up most of his time, he didn't have the heart to go hard on you when you two got some time together. And he was guilty of pulling you out of school on his days off when you were perfectly fine to take you shopping - he had to make up for his long absences, right?

So, yeah. He's well aware it's his fault. But it makes him happy to see you happy as you hold up what might be the largest parcel he's ever seen with a huge smile on your face - a clothing haul straight from his wallet. God forbid his little princess had to work. Not while he's still around. He'll watch you try on every piece of clothing until you're satisfied. He deserves a dad of the year award.

Until he can't control the way he reacts when you come into the living room in a skirt that's a little too short. Yeah, definitely not dad of the year. No dad should have to grab a couch cushion to hide their lap when their daughter is showing off an outfit. And he definitely shouldn't speak up in a hoarse voice, asking you to turn around so he can get a better look, right?

"C'mon, princess. Give daddy a twirl." Yeah. Leon is so very screwed.

BOT FOUR, LEON - his symbiote wants you as a mate (venom!leon)

Leon would have risked the months of brain-probing he was liable to endure if he told the government about his new friend if he knew Venom would become so attached to you. Venom doesn't care that being in the same room as you makes Leon get all clammy and awkward. Leon's tried to explain you're just his roommate - a friend at best. Venom argues you'd be much more fun as it's mate.

Leon, the symbiote practically purrs in his mind. Leon groans, brows furrowing as he turns in his bed. He's been trying to sleep for the past hour, and Venom isn't happy about it. Leon. We should visit our mate.

"It's, like… 2am." Leon groans, rubbing a hand over his face. Venom hasn't left him alone since it first met you, and Leon isn't sure how much longer he's gonna be able to hold the symbiote back. "She's sleeping."

She will be pleased with our presence. Venom growls in his mind, tendrils spreading across Leon's face before they stretch across his body and out to his limbs, covering him in black goo. Leon tries to fight back as Venom forces him out of bed, but it's no use.

"Venom. Venom, wait-" He grunts, frowning as Venom leads him to your room. The symbiote lies Leon down in your bed, tendrils tapping your shoulder a few times before he peels away slightly, leaving half of Leon's face free.

BOT FIVE, BILLY COEN - your big brother is home !!

It's been two years since Billy last saw you properly, excluding a weekend visit here or there. You're all grown up now, and he's not sure if he's ready to come to terms with that fact. There's no way you're the same little girl - his little sister that used to hang off his arm and beg to follow him around every chance you got. It's not like he hasn't called - your mom was telling him how upset you'd been in his absence, but he didn't have a choice. The Marines wasn't the easiest lifestyle to uphold, but it was the one he chose.

The novelty of the situation has worn off fast. He's barely been home for a day, and he's already getting a little sick of you. You're somehow clingier now then when you were a kid, not giving him a chance to breathe. He wouldn't even mind it so much if you just gave him a second, but he hasn't even settled in yet. He understands that you're trying to make the most of it, but he's only home for a month before he's off again. He wants to relax.

There's something weird about how much you're clinging to him. He wants to believe its just excitement, but it feels like something else. He saw the way you were gawking over him when he showed up in his uniform. And now - he's trying to unpack some stuff, and you won't stop with your incessant yapping, spread out on his bed like it's yours.

"Jesus Christ." He mumbles under his breath, taking a deep breath as he pinches the bridge of his nose, willing himself to calm down. You missed him. He gets it. He missed you, too. "Kid. Please. You're giving me a damn headache over here."

BOT SIX, BRUCE WAYNE - your step-dad taking you shopping

You never attempted to get to know the latest of your mom's boyfriends - Bruce. It was a little exciting at first, having Bruce Wayne in your life, but he didn't seem as interesting in person as on TV. Your mom had a habit of moving from guy to guy anyway, so you didn't expect them to last for long.

You were wrong. Quicker than you could even blink, they were engaged, and then married. Weddings can come quickly when you have enough money to pay for it out of pocket. Who knew? Bruce bought you the prettiest dress, and you smiled in all the wedding photos, but that didn't mean you liked him all of a sudden. He was stuck-up, constantly trying to instruct your every move. Like you aren't an adult; like he's your real dad. He isn't, and he never will be.

Your mom isn't exactly happy with the fact you refuse to get along with him, though. She has the brightest idea to make the two of you go on a little shopping trip, as if him flashing his AmEx card is enough to impress you. Bruce could buy the entire Prada catalogue and it still wouldn't make you act all sweet with him.

"So…" He starts awkwardly, glancing at you with a quick side-eye as he drums his fingers against the steering wheel, the both of you sitting in the parking lot of a mall. He clears his throat, tugging at the collar of his turtleneck like it's suffocating him. "You have anywhere in particular you'd like to go, sweetheart?"

BOT SEVEN, TOJI - dog hybrid!toji x bunny!user

Toji is perfectly content with how his life is going. It’s been years since Shiu took him in from that dog fighting ring, giving him comfort in exchange for a few jobs here or there. He acts more like a handler than an owner, letting Toji go off and do as he pleases in his off time. He’s not gonna complain. He gets a place to sleep for free, food and a cut from the jobs Shiu sends him on. It’s the happiest he’s been in a long time.

Of course, things don’t always go perfectly. Shiu is tough - he’s hardened from his line of work, yes, but he’s a lot softer than Toji is or ever will be. Naturally, the guy couldn’t help himself when he picked you up. A soft little rabbit hybrid who’d gotten into the wrong crowd.

He’d explained you’d be living with them now. Shiu had the money and the space, and he didn’t think Toji would mind too much. Wrong. This was Toji’s space, and he’d be damned if he let some weak, fluffy little bunny encroach on it.

Shiu keeps you occupied most of the time, but you seem to seek Toji out whenever he has to leave to go to work. A growl rumbles in his throat as you approach him, your cotton tail twitching. “Get lost, bunny, unless ya wanna become a snack.”

BOT EIGHT, GORO MAJIMA - he comes home to his sleeping wife

Sleeping alone was never uncommon with your husband, Majima. It was rare that he was home everyday, let alone in time to have dinner with you and accompany you to bed. It could be lonely, yes, but you were aware of Majima’s priorities with his work when you married him. You’d come to accept your place – you knew how much he cared for you. He made it abundantly clear with his actions when he was able to spend time with you.

Majima isn’t surprised when he comes home, seeing you curled up on the tatami, wearing his shirt, no less. He grins at the sight, stripping down to his boxers in record timing before slipping behind your sleeping form, pressing himself against you. “Look so cute, even when you’re sleepin’. Ain’t that right, pretty baby? Such a dream f’me. Been waitin’ to get home to ya aaaaall night.”

Ranking the Songs of Jack the Giant Killer (1962)

Jack the Giant Killer isn't a musical... or at least it shouldn't be. If you haven't heard of it (and I'd assume you haven't), it's one of those fantasy adventure movies with lots of stop-motion puppets like "Jason and the Argonauts" and "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad"... unfortunately, Columbia Pictures saw this similarity and weren't too pleased, threatening to sue the filmmakers.

Their solution to avoid getting sued? Make it a Musical!

No new footage was filmed and boy can you tell. If you saw the musical version without knowing the history, you could probably guess that some of these songs were added in post.

Fortunately, nowadays you can see the non-musical version quite easily (in fact it's up on some of those movie youtube channels and freebie streaming services - it's an alright adventure flick with really good set design and some interesting visuals), but I'm not interested in that. I wanted to see the musical. So I did, and now I just want to talk about the songs, from best to worst.

[Disclaimer: there is no official soundtrack, most of these song titles are just conjecture on my end.]

1) A Spectacle!

This song has been stuck in my head for days. It is a very ill-fitting ice capade-esque song underscoring an action scene where Jack fights a bunch of monsters... it's also a duet with the main villain (Pendragon) and his henchman, which only serves to make it more bizarre. If you had to listen to any song from this soundtrack, listen to this one, there's a reason it's the only song I could find on youtube without uploading the unlisted clip myself.

2) You Can Do It!

Picture this: you're near the end of the movie. You think Jack has won, but Pendragon has a trick up his sleeve... in a flash, he raises his red cape, and his form shifts into that of a mighty dragon! Swiftly, he descends upon Jack's ship, ready to take the fight into his own hands in a climactic final battle... and then this song plays. This goofy motivational song better suited for the middle of a musical than the final song.

It has also been stuck in my head for days.

One other confusing thing is that I'm not sure who's meant to be singing this song. Like, it's the same nasally male singing voice used by both Pendragon's henchman (though it can't be him since he has no reason to cheer Jack on) and the Leprechaun (though this song doesn't use the same rhyme scheme the Leprechaun uses, and all his words are accompanied by a jingle which is absent here, so it can't be him either). Maybe it's God?

3) Title Card Song & Coronation Song

These two songs play near the beginning of the movie, with the former also getting a reprise for the end credits. I'm lumping them both together because I couldn't remember what they sound like if you held a gun to my head, though, for the Coronation song, it's quite amusing that they have to hide most of the crowd because it would be very visible that they aren't singing.

4) Just Ask Me

Quite a boring love song with generic and slightly repetitive lyrics, but what makes this song stand out to me is the editing going on in this scene. You see, the lyrics are barely close to anything the characters are saying, so the editors have to pull out all the stops to make it fit the scene - footage is slowed down, sped up, looped (and it's all very visible thanks to the various background elements) and in the end the woman is still clearly saying something very different to the lyrics. It's honestly like a proto-youtube poop.

5) We Have Failed, Master

This is where we get into the real good stuff. A keen listener may pick up on the fact that, despite their attempt to make "We have failed, master, we have failed!" into a chorus and the slight rhytmic patter of the henchman's lines, this is very clearly just a normal dialogue scene that has been recklessly converted into a song. Granted, you see this stuff in operas all the time, but it's very bizarre to see in something that's trying to sound like a Rankin Bass musical.

6) To Us

If you thought the last one was bad, this one is barely trying to sound like a song. There's no clever editing, no rhythm, no chorus, not even a cheeky attempt to add more lyrics while a character is facing away from the camera, it's just a dialogue scene!

Thank you for sticking with me through my inane opinions, and I hope you enjoyed this tour through probably the most bizarrely constructed musical. Credit to this Twitter post for inadvertently informing me of this... masterpiece.

Show recs ?

note: most of these will be on netflix since that's the main thing I watch shows/movies on :) Also, this is a really long post, so bare with me.

-SHOWS--NETFLIX-

The Unlisted The Unlisted is a show about this group implanting kids in an attempt to control them, and it's mainly about the kids who didn't get the implants or the "unlisted". Super good, 8.5/10. (Kal x Jacob forever if you know you know... like yeah they're not canon but they def like each other so it doesn't really matter lmao)

Raising Dion I'll admit that I haven't finished the new season, but it's so good!!!! Basically, it's about this group of people who got powers from some supernatural event--specifically the child of one of them, who is sort of a legacy/2nd gen of powered people--and how something is hunting them down. 9/10

Young Royals Young Royals is a romance (I guess?) show about Wilhem, the prince of Sweden, going to a boarding school and how he sort of develops a romance with one of the other boys there :) super good and I can't wait for the 2nd season!!! 10/10

Get Even Show about 4 girls who secretly out bullies and bad teachers under the alias DGM, then get caught up in a murder investigation. 10/10.

The Letter for the King I LOVE this show. Probably watched it... 4 times? It's so good, and I would totally recommend it to anyone and everyone :) 9/10 (I loved it... just... sigh you'll figure it out) JUSSIPO X FOLDO FOREVER

A Series of Unfortunate Events I loved the books, but the show is super good too! Also, love the casual queer rep :) 11/10 (books had 2 canonically queer characters, show 4)

First Kill Low-budget gay vampires/monster hunters. Star-crossed lovers. Secret... clubs. What more could you want? Oh, I know, A SECOND SEASON- 9/10.

=MOVIES--NETFLIX (the section no one asked for)=

Yours, Mine, & Ours Kind of dorky, but I enjoyed it. It's about how two parents--with 10 and 8 kids respectively--are getting married, and their kids are desperately trying to stop it. 8/10

The Willoughbys I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS MOVIE. Four kids who live with neglectful parents in an old home, cut off from the world. One of them, the oldest, is still holding onto the hope of honoring the legacy of his family. They get a nanny, and... well, you'll see. 11/10.

Airplane Mode Also kind of dorky, but I loved it. After their daughter gets in yet another accident from texting and driving, parents confiscate her phone and send her to the country with her grandfather. 10/10.

Alex Strangelove Alex Truelove's (yes, that's his real name) plan to lose his virginity to his girlfriend, Claire, doesn't exactly go to plan when he can't stop thinking about the guy he met at a party a few weeks before. Loved it! Some details here and there, but I think it's great either way. 9.5/10.

Memories of a Teenager After one of his friends commits suicide, teenager Zabo begins to blog about his life online. Basically, it's a movie about depression, friendship, and trying to find yourself--throughout the movie the main character, Zabo, is trying to figure out his identity and goes out with/likes/dates multiple men and women. Great rep, really enjoyed it. 9/10.

The Boys in the Band OMGOMGOMG okay. 1968 New York, seven gay friends, a birthday party. When a surprise guest shows up at the party, it leads to a drunken game that--whether they likes it or not--makes everybody think. I adore this movie, I can't even- 11/10 LARRY IS STILL HOT I CAN'T-

The Half of It When a jock asks her to help him write love letters and messages to his crush, Ellie is surprised when she finds herself falling for this girl too. Great romance, loved the resolution & the relationships between the characters. Still cackling about Paul's mom's face when he said he had to grind something- 10/10.

+ MOVIES AND SHOWS--OTHER MISC SOURCES +

Full Out (buy or rent on youtube) Full Out is the true story of gymnast Anna Berlin who, after getting into a car accident, is told she'll never be able to compete/do gymnastics again. It's basically her story of recovery through gymnastics... and a hip hop group she finds herself a part of. 10/10.

But I'm A Cheerleader (free on youtube) Lesbian romance blossoming in a conversion camp? Sign me up. After her friends and family gather to tell her that they think she's a lesbian, Megan is sent off to True Directions, a conversion therapy program... where she goes from not believing she's a lesbian to... growing closer with another participant, Graham. 10/10.

The Brokenwood Mysteries (acorn TV) A murder mystery show set in the fictional town of Brokenwood, New Zealand. Awesome cast of main & side characters, and good representation with different races, ethnicities, genders, and sexual orientations. 10/10. #arlofanclub

Middle School: The Worst Years of my Life This movie follows Rafe as he moves schools and decides to break every one of the 100s of rules made by his overbearing principal, along with his sidekick Leo. Amazing movie, and amazing way of developing the characters & Rafe's dealing with everything throughout the movie (if you've watched/read, you know what I'm talking about)! 12/10.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (netflix, amazon) I put this one here since I'm not positive if it is still on Netflix or how long it will stay, but here we go. Ferris Bueller doesn't want to go to school on a great day like this (pretend it's sunny and nice outside), so he rounds up his girlfriend and his best friend and they skip out on school to have fun. My summary doesn't do it any justice. This movie is also one of my favs. 12/10.

Handsome Devil (peacock) When a loner and a star rugby player become roommates at a rugby-obsessed boarding school, the (truly repulsive) rugby coach tries to get to the bottom of why his newest player transferred in the first place. 12/10.

Ride Like a Girl The true story of the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup, an Australian horse racing competition thing! 12/10

So yeah, that's my master list. I might continue to update here and there, but that's what I've got so far! All these movies/shows are pretty near and dear to my heart, and for a lot of them it's because of the queer and/or POC rep. (Also, if you're wondering on the ASOUE thing: Charles and Sir are canonically queer in the books, joined by Babs and Jerome [both bisexual] in the show. Also Mrs. Bass, I suppose.) Happy binging! <3, Bat
