#it was funnier in my head so have this half assed meme-

[bxnnie-bxwl]

"there will be cake!"

[dreamii-yume]

I'm not the anon who come up with this Singing curse Au but how about more content of it? When you get no ideal from hornii or soft, a bit of chaos shegnanigant will do the trick. Can you write more about that Au? Focus on some other writing helped me come up with the actual writing ideal I want to write, maybe Yume can try that....? 😳👉👈

@coffee-or-hot-cocoa said

“lol saw the random singing curse au. So how about instead of disney songs mc/darling sings meme songs? lol like if darling visits pomefiore she sings fashion, etc. so thoughts? and bonus points the curse was just a potions accident due to grim doing something wrong.”

•••••

Aight, I’ll take you on that advice Darling! I’ll write more about this AU, since I really find it funny just imagining them lol Cay-kun’s birthday is tomorrow anyways so, it’s fine if I slack off a bit, yeah~?

Meme songs, huh? Now, we’re talking in Yume’s language lol Beware of the cringe beyond this as this contains dead memes probably!

God, this is even funnier and more chaotic if it was Grim’s fault that got Darling in this mess in the first place. Aside from the embarrassment that you would inevitably suffer right after, this random singing curse of yours doesn’t seem to be too bad especially when you get to see the interesting reactions you get from others. Though, most of the times it’s just pure confusion on their faces as they don’t have a single clue on what the hell you’re singing, since it never existed in their world.

“SomeBODY once told me—“ Darling started, slamming a random door open with a wide smile on your face and successfully startling a few students half to death nearby. The Scarabia duo passing by and Kalim being obliviously glad at how energetic you seemed. Jamil had to look away as he snorted, seeing how the students cower away with tails between their legs was golden.

Ace and Deuce being used to Darling’s curse at this point that they basically just adapted to it. “Ah.” The rest of the first years wondered what was that single “Ah.” and Adeuce confirmingthat it was indeed considered a “song” from your world. You explained how it was uttered out by a certain 2D shark girl and people basically went crazy for it. “Yeah, we don’t get it either.” The duo gave up understanding your worlds’ “culture” eventually.

That said, the other students would be lying if they said that they don’t find this strange songs of yours catchy though.

“So, what kind of look do you wanna go for?” Imagine Vil in a good mood and decided to do Darling’s make up. You smile and said nothing, you can feel the urge to sing right on the tip of your tongue but you didn’t know what ridiculous meme song would come out of your mouth. Opening your mouth meant breaking into a song once again as it might disrupt the guy’s mood. “Hm? What’s wrong? Honey, you look like you want to say something. Go ahead, I’m feeling nice today, you see.”

His kind chuckle did not help at all and alas, you slightly opened your mouth and— “Maybe I’ll be Tracer.” “What?” You gulped with a nervous grin. “...I’m already Tracer...”

It’s worse in Halloween. “Spooky, spooky skeletons~” The Heartslabyul students are looking at you funny, but since you were singing it in such a cutesy way, they just assumed that you wanted a candy in return. “Sends shivers down your spine~” Trey filled your whole bag.

I’d also like to add that the curse does not only affect the way you talk but it also plagues your mind as well. The others looks so concerned every time you space out as even if they call out to you as loud as they can, the noise in your head wouldn’t let you hear them. They claimed that you look so serious sometimes, like you’re thinking of something deep but in reality all you were hearing was the constant replay of the Wii Theme and Undertale Soundtracks.

“Se~ no~” Skipping in the hallways, Idia hides behind a wall as he was practically lead astay to this beat you sing. He just finds it so cute! The way you swing your hips really made him imagine you like those idols performing before thousands of fans like him. He wonders if you’ll accept if a creepy otaku like him asks you to wear an idol outfit and sang that song for him in private. Idia finds himself humming and dancing slightly to your song until Cater comes in and giving him a heart attack that costs him ten years of his lifespan.

You said you wanted to try and bake for everyone, so you thought it was better to borrow the Heartslabyul kitchen. “I’m a muffin, and this is muffin time~” Coincidentally, the Heartslabyul squad passed by at the door and thought that the melody sounded cute. Without you knowing, they were peaking right by the door. Cater recording a video while Ace snickers at how girly you can be sometimes with pink cheeks. Riddle, Trey, and Deuce having the same fantasy of seeing you as a housewife baking sweets for her family to munch on. “Who wants a muffin~?”

You did a graceful spin while elegantly putting the tray inside the oven, crouching over. “Please, I just wanna die~” Upon setting the desired temperature, you spun into a small little dance. Cater almost dropped his phone. “Hey, somebody kill me~”

“Please, it’s muffin time~☆”

Needless to say, the Heartslabyul squad bursts in like undercover agents and concerned questions were frantically asked. You wanted to bake, but got a strict therapy session with Riddle and Trey instead. Ace, Deuce, and Cater blocks your exit and you were forced to stay in that room for the next three hours.

Of course. Of course. Cursed or not, your immature ass could not pass up the opportunity.

“We’re no strangers to love.”

“Child of man, what—“

“You know the rules and so do I.”

Might as well commit to it the curse then.

WHVSJXBSKW Yume is such a bitch normie lol I really listed off all the meme songs I know and picked what I can do (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡ Sorry for the cringe and dead memes lol I had more memes I wanted to put in but the cringe might be too much

I had so much fun with this one, you were right Darling! This made my head grasp reality better~! Thanks! (๑>◡<๑)

[genderbinaryisforlosers]

everyone on the carte blanche for the ask meme

everyone? oh boy this is gonna get long ajfhdsf

JUNO

First impression: i, like a lot of people who get into the podcast without knowing a great deal about it, was expecting at most an ambiguously bisexual angst machine with a closely-guarded heart of gold. juno being an explicitly bisexual genderqueer angst machine is perhaps the most pleasant surprise of my life. the angst machine heart of gold characters were kind of my type at the time, so i loved him right away

Impression now: every time i think about juno’s arc from depressed mess held together by bad coping mechanisms, safety pins, and a few good strong puns into someone who can talk about his feelings, feel comfortable about being happy, and recognise when he needs to change, i want to cry about it a little bit. the depth of my love for juno steel has only grown along with him

Favourite moment: juno has a lot of great one-liners and i’m still a big fan of the “on the other hand i wasn’t wearing a watch” bit and who can forget such classics as juno finally deciding to stop moping over nureyev and move on only for him to open the door to his apartment and find nureyev sitting in the dark dramatically, but honestly nothing will ever hit me harder than his sudden, pissed-off declaration of “i can’t die yet, i still have shit to do!” in promised land. god.

Idea for a story: oh i have so many and i want to write most of them so no spoilers, but juno accidentally kidnaps a baby during a carte blanche heist and shenanigans ensue

Unpopular opinion: obviously we all know he’s dummy thicc but i feel like a lot of people forget he’s an actual genius, like the stuff he notices and how he strings it together is sometimes so obscure and he’s almost always right. oh, also juno is not skinny and i will not be taking criticism on that

Favourite relationship: this is so tough because every dynamic is so good, but i think it has to be juno and rita. those two are so good! the best best friends in the world!! i’m really a sucker for any dynamic that’s ridiculously in-sync so i loved these two as soon as juno saw rita’s notes in prince of mars and went “makes perfect sense to me” (which it probably didn’t, because rita, but he trusted that she knew what she was doing which is the important part)

Favourite headcanon: this isn’t really a headcanon but i still think about how juno is (was?) deathly afraid of heights but when he heard rex glass coming he still attempted to climb out of the window. either his aversion to working with dark matters/other people in general was so strong is overrided his fear, or his office was actually on the ground floor. not sure which of these is funnier.

NUREYEV

First impression: we’ve all seen the memes about nureyev knowing juno steel for one (1) day and deciding to Risk It All by leaving him with his name, look at this Hopeless Romantic, this utter DISASTER of a homosexual. the fact the very next time we hear from nureyev (at least directly) he’s patiently waiting in juno’s dark apartment to surprise him with a heist definitely supports this image.

Impression now: even after literally being inside peter’s head, i feel like we didn’t get a real sense of who he is until man in glass, where we find out he aggressively compartmentalises everything that causes him stress. he’s also distinctly someone who’s had his heart broken before, i think, which makes those first appearances of his very strange. but it does remind me of what juno says about diamond, and how he decided to provide the trust first and wait for the trustworthiness to grow in (only to get severely hurt), and i think that’s exactly what nureyev did. i am also... very uneasy with how suspicious he’s behaving this season because obviously i want to believe he’ll sort it all out and not betray the crew but... oof

Favourite moment: the beginning of what lies beyond pt1 where he’s affectionately bullying juno into taking care of himself? cleared my crops watered my skin etc etc etc

Idea for a story: i’d love to hear more about his past as a young thief idolising buddy and vespa (i can’t actually remember if that’s canon or fanon but anyway i wanna read it!)

Unpopular opinion: i think people often cling to an image of him that more resembles his first impressions in season 1 instead of seeing the depth that we’ve been given about his character in season 3

Favourite relationship: him and juno but honestly it’s a close call between them and his budding friendship with rita. even though she learned it by accident, his name is still a point of intimacy and it’s one less secret to keep around her which has to be a weight off his shoulders, at least a little? they seem like they could be really good friends once ultrabots is out of the way. juno steel love (and also bullying) zone activates whenever they’re together

Favourite headcanon: i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again - nureyev has never done a household chore in his goddamn life. he doesn’t know the water needs to be hot when you wash dishes.

RITA

First impression: honestly i’m not sure? i don’t remember having a big awareness of her in murderous mask but i remember loving her “note-taking” in prince of mars, i thought she sounded really fun and cute

Impression now: rita is really fun and cute, she’s also an extremely hardworking and dedicated woman who had the guts to throw in with a detective fired from the force and then invest all of her time and money into helping him help people.

Favourite moment: Rita Gets A Knife. enough said

Idea for a story: i don’t know honestly! i really struggle to write rita because her thought processes are so wild and i don’t think any story i could come up with would match mega ultrabots of cyberjustice.

Unpopular opinion: this shouldn’t be unpopular because juno steel himself shares this opinion but all future-jupeter headcanons are incomplete without rita also being a huge part of their lives

Favourite relationship: rita + franny 4ever obviously.. jk it’s juno & rita have you heard rita minute 3 they’re too adorable for this world. im still Soft over their conversation at the end of soul of the people when he said he couldn’t stay in hyperion anymore but he wouldn’t leave with the carte blanche if rita wasn’t coming because he was done leaving her behind, and she threw out all her hesitations on the spot and said call the big guy. speaking of, rita & jet are a close second. instant best friends i love them.

Favourite headcanon: i think this is basically canon now but rita being literally half the height of jet is so good

JET

First impression: “haha lorge funny man puts juno in the trash”

Impression now: jet sikuliaq is one of the dearest characters to me out of anything ever. he is a huge, menacing, polite, kind, sincere man who i would very much like to give me a hug. he’s the best aro ace in outer space and while being generally very levelheaded and straightforward, also takes every opportunity to fuck with juno because it’s very easy and very hilarious to him personally. he is everything my autistic acearo ass needed and i’m so glad to have him

Favourite moment: all of them every single one. him putting juno in the trash is of course a classic and every moment jet chooses to be funny makes my heart happy, but also every piece of genuine advice he gives. i’m a particular fan though of buddy recounting her years in the lighthouse and him saying he became concerned when she didn’t come downstairs at the usual time. “you took the door off its hinges.” “i was deeply concerned.” king of understatement

Idea for a story: again no spoilers for you but..... tools of rust time loop au

Unpopular opinion: this isn’t “unpopular” as much as it is unknown but jet is buddy’s queerplatonic partner and i will keep saying it until everyone believes it

Favourite relationship: jet and buddy,,, just everything about them. the way he suspects when she’s lying, the way she makes tea for him when she expects him to drop by. the fact he comes to check on her when she is 41 seconds late to the family meeting because it’s unlike her to be late and the last time she was late for something her brain was turning to radiation soup. but most especially the way she snaps at him to stay out of her business and he said he could not because he made her promise eight years ago to never stay out of the business of her health, no matter how many times she asked. they r literally in a qpr

Favourite headcanon: i don’t think this is true but i still think it would be funny if the ruby-7 used to be painted red but when jet got it he had it painted green because he Just Really Likes Green (as evidenced by his hovercycle). it’s very funny to me.

BUDDY

First impression: it’s been a minute since i relistened to time gone by but i’m pretty sure the first thing she ever says in the podcast is sliding up to depressed accidental whiskey thief juno and say “that’ll be ten million creds,” scaring the shit out of him, so needless to say i was in love instantly.

Impression now: my love for buddy aurinko has only grown and if it sounds like i already said that in this post it’s because i did about juno and it’s appropriate because the parallels are astounding. the heart of it all gave us such depth to buddy’s internal monologue and why she always sounds like she knows exactly what to say and what that’s like and honestly will i ever be over the heart of it all as an episode? unlikely. i think i’m gonna have a little piece of it in MY heart forever.

Favourite moment: everything she’s ever said is iconic as hell i especially like “in an impressive fit of hubris i’ve decided not to prepare my words for this vow” which made me laugh out loud but once again i must give it up for her iconic “I WANT TO LIVE” moment. honourable mentions to her taking rita out for ice cream and giving juno shooting lessons while she’s in her actual wedding gown. i love her

Idea for a story: buddy and vespa as sun/moon dieties.... that’s all

Unpopular opinion: stop drawing her with a fancy high-tech eye like the theia!! it canonically looks like garbage and it’s described in detail, please, i’m dying, also don’t minimise her scars you bastards

Favourite relationship: buddy and vespa invented romantic love and the entire carte blanche crew’s relationship to her is great but you know by now i’m a slut for buddy & jet out-of-this-world queerplatonic partners. the way she checks in on him during tools of rust to make sure he’s not relapsing and he comes to find her when she is 41 seconds late in the heart of it all to make sure she’s not having a heart problem!! it’s the trust,, the devotion,, the mortifying ordeal of being known

Favourite headcanon: she can sing. absolutely tears it up at karaoke. i’m right

VESPA

First impression: knife lesbian goes STAB. she will heal your wounds but she will be threatening to give you more the whole time

Impression now: she is extremely strong, heart-rendingly tender, and despite being in the older half of the carte blanche crew somehow has unmistakable little sister energy which makes her downright hilarious. i’m so glad she got to marry buddy and they’re official space wives now they’re so good for each other

Favourite moment: both from shadows in the ship, either “GUN!!” “KNIFE?!” (iconic) or when she clocks the dark matters drone pretending to be juno because it called her crazy and juno wouldn’t call her crazy. i’m always a sucker for “shapeshifter fails to fool mark because they Know Each Other Too Well” and it was just *chefs kiss* so good

Idea for a story: i really want to write something about when she was first staying at the lighthouse with buddy post-reunion, and getting to know jet and stuff. i think it would be cute

Unpopular opinion: i know vespa doesn’t canonically have lots of scarring but people who don’t draw her with scarring? cowards.

Favourite relationship: once again, although buddy and vespa invented romantic love, i just love the dynamic between vespa and juno so much. they’ve come so far with each other and their weird sibling dynamic gives me life. at the end of what lies beyond when juno says “we’re not gonna kill her, vespa” and instead of sounding full of Rage and Suspicion she’s like “whyyy notttt?” and he’s like “because i said so!” and that’s just good enough for her even if she’s a bit grumpy about it. i love it.

this took.. a hot minute to do! jshkfjsdgsa thank you dyl ily <3

[moons-and-stars-and-shit]

Heyo! Can I get a cake? (If you still accept requests that is)

My appearance: around 5'5 with black hair fading into brown (lower back). Brown eyes and a mole on my right cheek. Not wanting to sound racist but I look half east-asian.

Personality: the chaotic mom friend. Will text you at 2 am with "child go to sleep" and later spam you with memes. I have high mental stamina so I will be able to keep up with whatever you're trying to say at a fast speed. And you can vent to me anytime cause I'll be here to help. I might seem reserved at the first glance but once I get comfortable I'm gonna be loud as heck. I cannot take anything seriously, and will always make jokes out of nowhere. Yes, even if someone is hurt, but I ain't telling them that. I have a wide range of interests: art, writing, clothing design, singing, cooking etc. I like anime and video games and I have something with creepy paranoid urban legends. I really like astrology and listens to mainly nightcore. I also have a thing with angst and prefers it over fluff.

I tend to get anxious when it comes to school and tests even when I know I did it good and would probably cry after the test when I realized I answered something wrong. (Which is mainly because of my parents but shhh)

Thanks for reading!

Romantic Matchup

Tendou Satori

My personal favorite

This man ADORES you

And since he adores you he wants to be your rock

So if you EVER need ANYTHING you better come to this mans right here

He will listen to your worries and reassure you about any anxiety’s you might have

Moving on from the serious stuff

You two can’t take shit seriously 😐

Don’t even lie when I was writing the serious stuff you were probably like “love that for me 😌”

Like someone could die and y’all would be cracking jokes

*someone dies*

Priest: “heaven has gained another angel”

(You to satori) “more like hell gained another demon”

(Satori to you) “Fuck that hell just gained a whole new ruler”

But that’s what makes your guy’s relationship so funny

Satori has the lovely gift of making anything funny

And you just add on to his jokes and make it even funnier

He is also a meme spammer soooo be prepared for cursed memes at 2 am

You are somebody satori trusts with his life so he talks to you about EVERYTHING

And I hc him as a really fast talker

So put two and two together you have a SoundCloud rapper

You have what to the average eat sounds like jibberish

But somehow you can understand him just fine 🤷🏽‍♀️

Like he’ll be going off about something and the people around him are just like 😀

But then they turn to you and your just like “pop off king 👑 that’s super crazy”

They’re like bitch you understand him????

So you like to cook? Well satori likes to bake!

Perfect combo right there 🤌

Dinners with y’all are SO GOOD

10/10 very fun relationship right here

Friendship Matchup

Hinata Shōyō

Ok is he mad that your an inch taller than him?

No Maybe but that’s not important right now 😭

If you ever mention being taller than him he’ll say something along the lines of

“Just you wait by the end of high school I’ll be at least 4 inches taller than you”

He definitely comes to you if Kags is bullying him

And you try to calm him down and tell him not to worry about it

But sometimes you can’t help but laugh at the comments Kags makes 😭

“Y/n Kageyama keeps calling me short :(“

“Ok but...did he lie though”

“>:0”

You also laugh whenever he gets hit by a ball

Now your not heartless! You obviously check if he’s ok!

But you just laugh for a solid 5 minutes before you do that 😗

He loves to hear your scary stories!

He’s tried to tell one but somehow his always have a happy ending???

So he just leaves the story telling to you

You also got him into astrology

Actually scratch that

YOU always talk about astrology and he listens to bits and pieces

So now he thinks he knows everything

Tsukki: *is mean to Hinata*

Hinata: omg Tsukki you are such a Virgin 🙄 ✋

You: *Chokes on water*

You later told him that Tsukki was a VIRGO

10/10 Great friendship

My Goodbye to Unus Annus

I’m really waiting to kinda give this, because I just ignore problems till the last moment.

Unus Annus really consumed my life for the last month or so. It’s just the way my brain works. When I find something I like, I hyper fixate till the fixation wears off and then I find a new thing.

This was different though.

Normally, I can draw and pull my mind away from my hyper fixation, even if it’s a bit difficult. But when I started watching Unus Annus, all I could do for a whole week was watch this channel. Partially due to the anxiety of missing videos and the timer, which was at about 48 days when I joined in, and partially because I have always found Mark and Ethan’s dynamic to be insanely funny to me, being a long time fan of Markiplier Makes. It was honest to god terrifying to be so deep in watching the videos that I could not get myself to draw for an entire week, when I’ve drawn nearly every day of my life. That was kinda the reason I waited so long to get into it. I knew this would happen, just not to that extent.

Since I caught up, I’ve been able to draw, and read, and actually do college work, but I’m still investing so much of my brain space to this channel. It’s amazing. I have loved so many of these videos and it hurts seeing it go even though I know it was going to happen. I blew over 100 dollars on merch for this channel. I’ve watched Preserving Ourselves in Wax and The Truth of Unus Annus so many times I might as well be able to recite them verbatim. It’s been a wild month for me, catching up and keeping up, and I’m sure for many, it’s been a wild year. 

So just... Thank you? I dunno this is really badly formatted my english professor would have my head for this monstrosity of an essay. 

Thank you to Mark and Ethan for making this in the first place, sticking to it for a whole ass year, and for every single video you made. They’ve made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe, cry on a few occasions(i swear it was because of the onions), and really think about myself and what I could do with myself.

Thank you to Amy and Evan for putting up with those two, and for shooting these videos. No one could see these moments without you guys! And you are also damn funny when you cut in! Thank you Amy for your vast pool of creative contributions. Thank you Evan for the Pee Trilogy. It may not seem like an accomplishment, but you made it happen anyway and honestly, we are all indebted to you for the well of comedy you have provided. I hope Bodhi is doing well.

Thank you to the editors for making each video that much funnier with zooms, comments, and general composition. You have a very hard job at your hands to enhance your source material, and you do it wonderfully. The channel would be half as funny as it is without your hard work. Despite what people may have said on the unedited video, Unus Annus would not be what it is without you all. 

And thank you to the community here on Tumblr. You all make amazing things. Stunning artworks, smooth melodies, and memes that almost made me break a fuckin rib. You all have made this experience that much more memorable. There may be archives that defy what the channel is meant to be, but I can rest assured knowing that I got to experience something truly special because of you all. You can’t recreate the moment of explosion on the Unus Annus tag when a new video drops. That’s special to the now, right down to the last second. We have this moment together, and you are all what have made this journey special for me. 

I’ve made a post before waxing poetic about how Unus Annus art and what not shouldn’t be taken down, and I still stand by that. I don’t think anyone should feel obligated to delete their art of this channel. It’s a memory frozen in time, and we can still create art for this channel after it’s death. I don’t want to forget this channel, and art helps us remember. Do what you will, but I firmly believe that the art made here is something that should be cherished and preserved, just like our memories of this channel.

Anyway, uh... Thank you.

Thank you for the memories.

Thank you for the laughs and the cries.

Thank you for the hard work and dedication.

Thank you for existing in this moment with me.

It’s been a pleasure getting to know about this Unus Annus.

See you at the stream.

nurealis replied to your post “Postallthekittenpictures. Stophavingthemnotbeposted.”

The second one is straight out of some visual comedy bit

It was even funnier to watch -- Dearborn was pouncing because Polk’s tail was sticking out the back, and every time she pounced, Polk would get gently bonked in the head with the mat. 

kissmeagainarthas replied to your post “Postallthekittenpictures. Stophavingthemnotbeposted.”

I love that the request was probably from someone struck by the "no your spacebar no longer works on Tumblr" bug but it looks like ~aesthetic~.

Oh man, I just assumed it was a meme I wasn’t aware of. Is that a new Tumblr bug, along with the app and the site no longer getting along? 

thewittiestpartition replied to your post “The Polk? She, she is half grey?!”

My orange girl has an almost grey undercoat too with diluted stripes. I think it's a gorgeous combo and I tell her she's a pretty kitty all the time. Polk too!

They are extremely beautiful babies, even if I’m their dad and have to think that :D I hope they stay adorable as they grow up, but even if they don’t I will still love them. 

exbrained replied to your photo “BONCHON CHIIIIICKEN AND DAIIIIKON”

Had a moment where I thought those were sugar cubes and just... didn't question it at all. Just Sam doing weird food combos again.

LOL! I bet it would be good with sugar cubes! 

I’m hoping to try the leftover “spicy” strips with ranch dip because they are a bit hotter than I prefer. But now that I know how good Bonchon is I will probably be there very often for their Soy Garlic flavor. 

memprime replied to your photo “BONCHON CHIIIIICKEN AND DAIIIIKON”

Are you at Chinatown?

Yes! Bonchon’s in the plaza, south of the zodiac statues. And there’s a BOMB ASS new bakery too!

I did have this weird “Is....is Chinatown GENTRIFYING?” moment, though, there are a lot of new shops with hip graphic design and lots of blond wood. It makes me sad that a hipster tea store appears to have replaced the Worst Junk Shop In The World.  

shadowedseas replied to your photoset “I MADE SOME COOKIES. :D These are, as promised, from the Sunset...”

soak the raisins in rum for 15 minutes before adding them (or warm water with a little honey and cinnamon if you don't want to use alcohol) it makes the cookies much moister and more flavorful

A bunch of people suggested this -- I’m almost tempted to make a second batch next week and try this, though there are other raisin recipes in the book so I think I’ll just try it with one of those. 

davisoer5 replied to your photoset “I MADE SOME COOKIES. :D These are, as promised, from the Sunset...”

Too much oat for the butter? Nnnooo? Too much flour, yes. Back that down to 1 1/2 c. Also use just 1 c golden raisins- better if they're soaked in hot water or alcohol first. The sugar is in the HARD CRUNCH SHARP EDGES range- I do love that intensely sweet taste sometimes, but I usually drop it to 1 c brown sugar and 1/2 cup white.

IDK, it was a SUPER wet dough as it was, less flour I think would make it spread too much, especially if the raisins are adding moisture as well. IDK about the sugar but they came out quite soft and chewy, though they did have crunchy edges. 

niennanir replied to your photoset “I MADE SOME COOKIES. :D These are, as promised, from the Sunset...”

How could you do that? That is evil. You're a super taster, have you no comprehension how awful raisins are to the wrong taste buds?

Well, I’d make a sign explaining, and then people wouldn’t have to take anything if they didn’t want raisins! I mean, it’d need an allergen sign anyway.

coffeeshop au: bambam

listen, life is hard

you gotta get up and go to work every morning and that’s rough

on top of that, some customers just don’t understand human limitations

for example, the asshole that called in and ordered 63 pink donuts from your coffeeshop

yo. wtf.

what do you even do with 63 pink donuts

the more pressing question is how on earth do you make 63 donuts before 9:00am

cause oh yeah! asshole needs them by 9:00

donuts aren’t even your shop’s specialty like dude what is you thinking

you’re a coffee and donuts place but fr now

but you’re the manager and your employees are slightly panicking so you take a few deep breaths and get to work

thankfully you had a large batch of dough you had made before closing up the previous day in the fridge

you’ve got two people rolling dough and cutting out donuts in between making coffee orders

two people making frosting

and you’re doing your best to fry these things on your own

silently planning the death of whoever ordered the 63 pink donuts and brought this calamity upon you

somehow, it works and you’ve got 63 beautiful donuts in their boxes waiting to be picked up

and you are so ready for the customer to walk through the door. you are so ready

they gonna catch some hands

but there are other customers to take care of and one poor employee has been working the register by herself while donut nonsense was happening

so you man the other register for the time being

and it looks like your day is getting better because that one customer is a SNACK

and he’s in line for your register hallelujah praise be

and you’re actually excited when he gets to the front of the line because seriously, the guy is too cute for words

“Hi, uhhh, I called in an order of 63 pink donuts earlier? The name is BamBam.” 

oh boy 

your jaw drops a little bit and all you can say is, “You’re the pink donuts guy?” 

and he’s like...yeah ?

and you’re just like. wow. ok. give me one second 

you go to grab the boxes and you’re just dying internally because why is it always the best looking ones that order 63 donuts within an hour and a half of pickup 

and you’re so confused as to why he needs so many 

when you hand him the boxes, you almost blurt out the question but

“Thanks a lot! I know this is kind of an irrational order but you make the best donuts and we really need them, so...” 

and he’s obviously a little embarrassed that he put your shop in such a state and 

sigh 

whatever, he’s cute 

you just smile and say, “The pink ones are my favorites, too. Hope you enjoy!” 

and he’s smiling, too, now. and his smile is really great. so that helps 

next thing you know, he’s balancing the boxes on one hand and reaching for the door with the other and is looking over his shoulder to say goodbye and wait a second-

a light thud that may or may not have come from him running into the door 

thankfully the donuts are ok and he is too so you have permission to laugh 

and boy oh boy do you laugh 

like a loud laugh because this guy is just such a character 

but instead of getting offended or whatever he just laughs along with you and waves goodbye before very carefully maneuvering himself through the door 

pink donut boy is a dork 

a few days later, you’re opening shop as usual when in walks pink donut boy 

and he orders two americanos and.... two pink donuts 

..............................what the hell

and apparently you voiced your sentiments aloud cause he starts laughing 

“It’s been a while since the last order of pink donuts,” he says but no it hasn’t, it’s been three days and you tell him so 

he explains that it’s not just him eating the donuts, it’s also his six best friends but that’s still 9 donuts each... and three days...

he’s like... yeah? 

but he’s also blushing just a tiny bit and you can tell he knows you’re judging him really hard 

you can’t help but smile at the situation because wowwww this guy is a lot isn’t he 

bambam starts coming in the shop at least twice a week to order coffee and a pink donut 

you don’t even ask for his order anymore you just know it 

and you’ve grown to really like him cause he’s always doing some bullshit 

for example, once he came in with a friend and stuck straws up his nostrils and pretended to be a walrus and you’ve never seen a grown ass man do that so shamelessly in public 

another time he sang along to a song that was playing and made your sides hurt from laughter because the boy cannot sing ok 

but then later he started rapping along to something and you were like bruh that’s talent right there wtf 

but your impressed state was quickly ruined when he dabbed 

you were like. nope. get out. 

but you would never kick him out for real because he always makes things a little funnier and easier to deal with 

and you’ve grown to be friends so oftentimes you’ll take your break when he comes in to sit and eat pink donuts with him for a while  

he’ll tell you stories of him and his best friends that always leave you with tears in your eyes from all the laughter 

or he’ll make some stupid facial expression that has you doubled over 

and then you two are just laughing manically for 10 minutes straight before you have to pull yourself together and get back to work 

somewhere along the line you got his number but all your conversations consist of is bambam sending you random memes and telling you when he’ll stop by your shop so you can take your break and talk to him 

which is a bit of a letdown because he’s very attractive and funny and smart when he wants to be and you want to talk to him more outside of work 

hmmmm is this a crush? yes

but one day, he comes into the shop without having told you he was going to and he’s got a weird expression 

he’s smiling, which is typical bam, but something just feels a bit off 

so you motion for him to sit down at a table and tell your coworkers you’re taking your break 

you grab two donuts and fill two little cups with water 

but bam barely even glances at his donut

he makes eye contact with you, visibly sucks in a breath, and then looks down into his water

naturally, you’re worried and asking if he’s ok 

he’s denying anything is wrong but he still can’t seem to look at you 

and you’re like, “Did I do something? Are you mad at me?” which makes him snap his head up to look at you and his jaw drops

 “No! You didn’t do anything! I’m not mad at all!” he exclaims, waving his hands, his eyes wide, “It’s just complicated.” 

and you’re like dude??? are you ok??

he's visibly blushing now 

“Y/N, do you want to go on a date with me? Like... not in this coffee shop?”

now you’re blushing

but of course you say you do 

and the biggest smile breaks across his face 

he starts doing this little relieved laugh that makes you melt, pressing his hand against his chest and just being adorable and dorky all at once 

he says he’ll take you to the amusement park that weekend 

but for now, pink donuts 

and you’re down with that

testing you || sebastian stan

Summary: Being friends with benefits don’t always work out the way you planned. It usually ends up with complications and feelings. Warnings: Angst, language, implications of sex. A/N: This is dedicated to my bestest friend @babylevines because she’s the greatest person I’ve ever met and she practically handed me this idea after we talked about angry!seb for 10 hours straight. Love your stupid ass. Also, hope you enjoy! x

Steam was coming from the mug, drifting up into the air and vanishing right before you. You folded your arm over the other on top of the table, letting your eyes do a sweep of the coffee shop. It was fairly quiet, the clock ticking close to 10a.m. in the morning and the hissing sounds from the coffee machines almost lulled you into sleep. It had been a long night and you were thankful that the shop wasn’t bustling with people.

The jingling bell as someone swung the door open pulled you out of your thoughts and you looked up just in time to see Sebastian walking towards you, sunglasses perched on his perfectly sculpted nose and a cap pulled over his head, hiding himself from the world as he traipsed right over. You gave him a small smile and he reciprocated it immediately as he bent forward, pressing a chaste kiss to your cheek in greeting before sliding himself into the booth; Right in front of you.

“Hey you.” You greeted him softly, watching as he glanced out the window before taking his cap off. His hair fell forward in wet wisps and it wasn’t hard to tell that he’d had a shower just minutes before arriving.

He pushed his hair back with the help of his hand, “Hey, you left early this morning. Didn’t have a chance to see you off.”

You ignored the small pull at your heart, opting to hook your fingers into the ear of the cup to cradle it in your hand before taking a sip. The tea burnt your throat but it kept you from thinking of how thoughtful he really was. Of course, you just gave him the fuck of your life hours prior, he’s bound to be nice to you.

“You okay?” He asked and you looked up at him, realizing that he had caught onto the shift in your behavior. You cursed yourself quietly and shot him a smile over the rim of your mug.

“Better now with this,” You raised your mug before setting it down. “Was a long night.”

The smile he gave you made you shiver and you had to look away to stop yourself from blushing. Three years of friendship and he still managed to pull at your heartstrings so easily. It had been a few months since you both got a little too drunk and had ended up in bed together. After that, it had gone back to normal for a while before it happened twice again; That had prompted the two of you to have a serious talk, agreeing to use each other as you liked with absolutely no feelings whatsoever. He was attractive and he was everything you looked for in a guy, but you felt confident going into that kind of agreement with him. Until a few weeks ago when you started feeling differently towards him, finding yourself thinking of him every minute of the day.

“I’ll say,” He chuckled and you bundled up a napkin to throw at him. “Hey, no need to get so violent!”

You rolled your eyes but smiled nonetheless.

“Take off your sunglasses, douche bag. You’re indoors.” You laughed, reaching over the table to swipe them off of his face, placing them right on top of your head instead.

The shiver of awareness that ran down your spine was inevitable, as you caught sight of his blue eyes on full display with no tinted glass to hide them. He was watching you closely, eyes shining in amusement and lips pulled into a half-smile. You followed his movements as he leaned back in his seat, arm resting on the backrest of the booth; Looking like the epitome of relaxed.

You tore your eyes away from him when you felt a buzzing in the pocket of your jacket. Sebastian watched you as you fished out your phone with a subtle smile, and he would’ve missed it if he wasn’t so focused on your face.

“Who’s texting you?” He asked casually, leaning forward to snag your mug off of the table. You frowned as he brought it to his lips, taking a small sip.

You scowled at him and he raised his eyebrows, corners of his lips tugging into a smirk as he took a larger slurp of your tea. He gestured with his hand at your phone that was, yet again, vibrating in your own hands.

“Oh, um,” You paused, suddenly feeling nervous as the man in front of you kept scrutinizing you. “Do you remember Jake?”

He frowned, “Jake? The douche who promised to take you to prom, only to stand you up?”

You put down the phone, thinking that this wouldn’t be an easy conversation to have. As you fiddled with the edge of your phone case, you couldn’t help but think that maybe over-sharing so much with Sebastian was a bad idea. Then again, you were like two peas in a pod and he could read you like an open book.

“Yeah, well...” You trailed off and you could see the exact moment realization dawned in his eyes, eyebrows that were once pulled together now relaxing as his eyes widened. He leaned back, huffing out a laugh like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“You didn’t.” He said and you sighed.

“What?” It came out more defensively than you’d liked, and you cleared your throat. “He found me on Facebook and started messaging me, apologizing for everything he’s put me through. I think he’s being genuine.”

“Genuine,” He scoffed. “Genuine my ass.”

“Seb!” You scolded him, lowering your voice before continuing. “We’re just talking.”

Sebastian let his eyes sweep over your face, taking in the furrow of your eyebrows and how your lips were pressing into a tight line. He wanted to argue further, tell you that it was a bad idea.

“Fine.” But he didn’t.

You couldn’t stop the giggle from tumbling our of your lips when you read Jake’s latest text, something about how he’d bumped into some old man who’d cussed him out right in the middle of the street.

The sigh that Sebastian let out didn’t go unnoticed and you looked up from your phone to find him staring stubbornly at the screen of the TV; A movie he’d chosen played on a fairly low volume with the lights turned off. The flashing of the screen illuminated his features and you could see as he sucked his lips in in distaste.

“Sorry.” You murmured and placed your phone away on the table.

The tension in the room was thick, so you did the only thing you could think of. You scooted to the side towards Sebastian who had his feet up on the table in front of him, arm slung over the backrest of the couch. He gave you a side glance and you smiled innocently, snuggling right up under his arm in hopes of turning the mood around in the room. You didn’t like when he was angry with you, it made you feel weird. But you knew how he felt about being occupied with phones while in the middle of a movie.

It didn’t take long for him to wrap his arm around your shoulders, pulling you in further into his chest before letting out a small sigh. You breathed in, trying not to shiver as you caught a whiff of his cologne that clung to his body and the smell of detergent coming from his henley. It brought a sense of comfort that you couldn’t describe.

“Hey...” He murmured and you pulled your eyes away from the screen to look up at him. You didn’t startle when you came face to face with the man you called your best friend. Even though he was so close, so close that you could feel his warm breath against your face.

He snaked a hand up your cheek and cupped it as he brought you in for a kiss. You went easily, ignoring the roaring in your ears from the blood rushing as you pushed harder into the kiss. He moaned quietly against your lips and you squeezed your thighs together involuntarily at the sound, struggling to hold back the smile that was threatening to escape.

You were just about to straddle him when your phone went off where it laid on the table, buzzing three times before settling down. The hands on your body froze and Sebastian pulled back with a frown.

“Who’s that?”

“Nobody.” You murmured, pressing small kisses to the corners of his lips, anything to get his mind back into the game.

He made an indignant sound at the back of his throat but didn’t comment further on it. Instead, he slid his arms back and wrapped it around your waist instead to pull you over his lap. You went easily, giggling as he let you straddle him, lips traveling up your neck before biting into your pulse point. You gasped, hands gripping his shoulders as you felt the scratch and burn of his scruff.

“Seriously?” Sebastian pulled back with a small growl as your phone went off again. You sighed, disappointed that the mood was ruined as you shuffled off his lap to reach for your phone. “Jesus.”

Jake had texted you a string of pictures, one funnier than the last and you couldn’t help but laugh at them.

“Look at this meme, it’s hilarious.” You turned your phone around to show Sebastian and he narrowed his eyes at the screen, raising his eyebrows in an unimpressed manner as he shifted his gaze over to you.

“The Blake guy again?” He spat the words out and you couldn’t help but frown.

“It’s Jake-”

“Who gives a shit? Tell him to piss off, we were in the middle of something.” He ran his hand through his hair and let it fall to his side.

You watched as a strand fell in front of his eye and resisted the urge to swipe it away, too annoyed at what he was saying.

“Not anymore, we’re not.” You rolled your eyes and locked your phone, setting it aside before leaning back on the backrest.

Even though your eyes were trained on the TV, you could see Sebastian watching you from the corner of your eye. He looked conflicted as he gazed at you.

“Y/N? I’m sorry, okay?” He huffed out a frustrated sigh. “Look at me.”

“No.”

You crossed your arms over your chest and continued to stubbornly glare at the TV. The movie was still playing and you weren’t even sure what was going on, only that there was a couple who were sharing an intimate moment. You shifted uncomfortably, cursing universe for choosing the wrong timing to show a sex scene when you’d just put ahold on yours.

Your phone vibrated again and this time Sebastian cursed out loud. It immediately made you turn toward him, glare on full force.

“What the hell is your problem, Sebastian?” You seethed and he looked taken back, probably because of the use of his full name. Usually it was just Seb or Seba to you. “You’re acting like a child.”

“Oh, I’m acting like a child. Okay, sure.” He scoffed, putting his hands on either side of the sofa to pull himself up into a standing position. “Why don’t you vent to your boyfriend about it?”

Your mouth dropped open and you watched as he turned to round the sofa, walking towards the kitchen. Without thinking, you grabbed a hold of the nearest pillow and hurled it at him. You watched the piece of fluffy fabric hit him on his back and he halted his steps, turning around with a shocked expression painted on his face.

“And I’m the child here?” He asked, almost in disbelief.

“You’re just mad because I might have a shot at being in a relationship.” You planted your knees on the couch and put your hands to rest them on the backrest. “Stop being so fucking bitter just because I won’t be your fuckbuddy anymore.”

He laughed without any humor behind it, “You’re seriously delusional if you think that snake wants you for you and not your body.”

Your heart dropped and you were pretty sure that your face did too, because Sebastian immediately took a step forward.

“Y/N...” He trailed off hesitantly.

“So, that’s what we are? That’s what you see me as? Just a body with a hole that you can stick your dick in whenever you please?” You couldn’t help but raise your voice with every word that tumbled out of your mouth, but you were hurt.

Hurt that he’d even say those things.

“That’s not what I meant, and you know it, Y/N.” He ran a hand down his face, rubbing his mouth in clear distress. 

“You just said it, Sebastian! So make up your mind.” You cried out.

The man in front of you closed the distance between you but you were quick to scramble to your feet, dodging him as he tried to reach for you.

“Leave me the fuck alone.” You hissed out, trying to ignore the stab in your heart as his hands recoiled, almost like you’d burnt him. But he had hurt you.

You had every right to demand some distance between you two right now. So you turned on your heel and walked away, leaving him to stand in the middle of the living area. His room smelled of him and it was untidy, the bed a mess from where you both had slept just hours prior. It made your heart ache as you stared at it, closing the door before sitting down on the floor, leaning your back against the bed.

It didn’t even take five minutes before Sebastian knocked on the door, demanding your attention.

“Y/N, open this door.” He yelled from the other side, loud enough for you to hear. You glared at the piece of wood like it had offended you.

“Go away, asshole.” You called out, hoping that he’d just leave you alone.

Two pounds against the door and then...

“Open it or I’ll kick this door down if I have to!”

You rolled your eyes at his drama, “It’s unlocked.”

There was a silence in the house before you heard a small oh from behind the door, the handle being turned and the door swinging open. Sebastian was standing in the doorway, looking like fifty shades of sin as he rubbed his hands together like he always did when he was nervous.

“I’m so fucking sorry, Y/N. It came out completely wrong and I shouldn’t have butted in like that.” He gave you a half-assed smile. “I tend to do that a lot for the people I love.”

Your heart jumped at the word love, but you had a feeling he’d just said it as a friendly thing. Because that’s all he saw you as, a friend who he’d occasionally fuck and hang out with. It hurt, but if that’s all you’d ever get from him then you’d settle.

“I can see the gears turning in that pretty little head of yours,” He gave you a small, timid smile. As if he wasn’t sure if you were okay or not. “Penny for your thoughts?”

He sat down next to you on the floor and you glanced at him, taking in his features. His eyes looked worried, sad even, as they gazed at the wall in front of him. And those lips, those pouty lips... You could still feel them on your lips and neck, like he’d made an imprint.

You looked away as he turned his head to glance at you, feeling your cheeks burn as you realized that you’d been caught staring.

“I didn’t appreciate that comment you made about him being interested in my body,” You whispered, voice seemingly too loud in the quiet room. “It made me feel cheap, like you might be doing the same right now.”

You heard his sharp intake of breath and seconds later, he’d scooted forward so he was sitting in front of you with his legs stretched out with you in the middle. He reached for your hands and bundled them together between his palms, bringing them up to his lips to press kisses to the skin of your knuckles. You suddenly felt too hot in your clothes, like someone had set fire to them while you were still wearing them.

“Jesus, Y/N,” He huffed out a laugh. “That was the jealousy talking, you know that, right? I love the way you get mad when I steal food from your plate and the way you look absolutely adorable when you’ve just woken up from a nap. I love how wild your hair gets when it’s too windy outside and I love your cold feet when you burrow them under my ass in your sleep.”

You let out a small laugh, feeling your heart expand, like it was on the verge of exploding with the love you felt for this man.

“I love the way you talk back to me and the way you just insist on beating my ass every time I do something stupid. And I love your smile, and the way your eyes almost disappear when you do because you’re just smiling so hard.” He watched you laugh, letting out a chuckle of his own. “And that laugh, I mean... Wow.”

Sebastian was still cradling your hands in his, playing absentmindedly with your fingers as he continued to stare at you like you were a puzzle he was trying to figure out. It was unnerving, in the best way possible.

“Seb?” You whispered.

“Hm?” You locked eyes with him.

“Consider yourself forgiven.” You grinned, giggling out loud as he pulled you into his chest, seeking out your lips with his. And when he did find them, he proceeded to sigh into them as he deepened the kiss. “Jeez, slow down. It’s like you’re deprived.”

It was a joke, but Sebastian growled playfully, nipping your lower lip with his teeth. You laughed.

“Oh sweetheart, you have no idea.”

65. any permanent scars? Several on my hands (they used to be cat scratches but I picked at them so much they scarred up), two punctures from my cat biting me on my right inner forearm, and one biggun on my left asscheek from when I fell out of a tree and had to get 6 stitches.

66. favorite flower(s)? Poppies, lavender, fireweed, and forget-me-nots.

67. good luck charms? Not really? I have jewelry that I wear every day but that’s more a habit/ritual rather than for luck.

68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried? LORDT okay so I worked at an ice cream shop two summers in a row, right? There was this DISGUSTING cranberry stout flavor, and a p gross ginger one, plus every time someone ordered a weird milkshake we’d make a little extra so we could try some. One time someone got like a large stout (the regular, not the cranberry, which was still nasty) and pumpkin milkshake with malt. It was horrid.

69. a fun fact that you don’t know how you learned? It takes as much pressure to bite through a human finger as it does to bite through a carrot.

70. left or right handed? Rightie.

71. least favorite pattern? Uh. I guess paisley? It doesn’t really do anything for me.

72. worst subject? Organic chemistry or physics.

73. favorite weird flavor combo? Oooh so nutella and honey is DELIGHTFUL if you’ve never tried it. Also those parmesan bread bites from Dominos taste real good dunked in the icing that comes with the cinnamon twists.

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen? Like a 4 or 5.

75. when did you lose your first tooth? I genuinely do not recall.

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)? Scalloped potatoes with cheese.

77. best plant to grow on a windowsill? Idk I kill all my plants. I have a lil sempervivum that I’ve kept alive for a few months though~

78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store? Grocery store sushi.

79. which looks better, your school id photo or your driver’s license photo? Lmao they both are bad but I’ll say driver’s license.

80. earth tones or jewel tones? Jewel tones.

81. fireflies or lightning bugs? Are they not the same thing? I call them fireflies.

82. pc or console? PC. I grew up without a console so I lack the intuitive understanding of their control mechanisms that most people seem to have.

83. writing or drawing? Writing.

84. podcasts or talk radio? Podcasts.

84. barbie or polly pocket? Barbie I guess?

85. fairy tales or mythology? Mythology.

86. cookies or cupcakes? …cookies.

87. your greatest fear? Disappointing people who took a chance on me.

88. your greatest wish? If I tell you, it won’t come true.

89. who would you put before everyone else? My little brother.

90. luckiest mistake? Not applying for summer internships. Instead I just talked to the one microbiology professor and she offered me a summer job in her lab and it’s because of her that I’m at the school I’m at for grad school and have experience and all that.

91. boxes or bags? Uh. Bags I guess? Easier to carry.

92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights? Sunlight.

93. nicknames? My parents call me Squirrelle. Some people call me T (my real name starts with a T).

94. favorite season? Spring, I think. It’s so nice to come back out of the cold.

95. favorite app on your phone? I guess fb messenger, I use it the most.

96. desktop background? It’s a colored collage of Jareth and Sarah from pika-la-cynique’s “Girls Next Door” massive crossover series on dA.

97. how many phone numbers do you have memorized? I dunno, like a handful? Some are totally useless.

98. favorite historical era? Probably the 80s.

//siblings bein’ siblings :’)

boy theyre really piling on the dick with roger. and yet, it somehow feels kinda forced. not quite as goofy-forced as ‘matt swirl my brandy and show off my scratched eye engarde’ but still... 

he’s so obnoxious that i wanna hold up a hand like “chill, chill, youre the villain, you dont have to try so hard. yeesh.”

-

In spite of everything, it's still (Tr)u(cy)

-

Did Godot also ghost write the gramarye creed?? We didn't need this man 

-

I love that she's "magical girl Trucy"

-

That is a HUGE ASS SWORD. Trucy must be ripped to balance that shit with one hand 

-

(Cries) the judge bravo’d her my heart

And Apollo asks her to be careful I fhfhfhggg 

-

JUDGE! Don't call her a butt!! - Bonny: a fan of mine took some footage of the me in the show. It's kind of creepy but it might help.

Me: ok well it can't be any creepier than the normal show footage which focuses on her quite a bit anyway---

(Footage is shot from backstage)

Me: BODYGUARD. DEMAND A BODYGUARD IN UOUR NEXT CONTRACT.DO NOT PERFORM WITHOUT ONE.

-

"What a waste of time"

I know, sadmad, it is a waste of time hinting And blabbing on when the contradiction is SO PAINFULLY OBVIOUS

-

To this games credit, I actually looked thru the footage to check for the edit and it's actually there. You can see the screen skip ever so slightly. I mean it's a little improbable that Trucy was still in the same position after twirling but that's a neat little detail. Not bad, SOJ, not bad at all.

- (Snerk) sexy pan up shot for mr retinz

- I know everyone loves the 'what's crackalackin homie" line but it stinks of pandering to me

It's like mr grossberg saying his hemerhoids were doing the Harlem shake. But I don't even think they were referencing the meme back then.

Also something about the way they write Nahyuta feels like the equivalent of a foreign character saying "it is-- 'ow you say..."

-

Burger barn sounds like the shittiest restaurant on earth. I wonder if it was the Ramen Ranch in the Japanese version...

-

"It's pretty long so I'll just show you the part with.." OHHH NO. We learned our lesson in dual destinies. We watch ALL the footage, damn it.

-

That must be Trucy! ... Six seconds after she runs in the opposite direction, also shown rising up into the rafters. ‘kay. Sounds legit. Prosecutor sadmad, please call me a moron and threaten more insignificant reincarnations...

-

"It threatens to disrupt the karmic course of this case" You mean it's so bullshit that you're obviously going to lose, right? It's ok, you can just come right out and say it. Nobody will mock you.

-

huh. retinz just called sadmad ‘pretty boy’

gee whiz guess theyre gay for each other now. c’mon fandom work your magic.

-

I'm starting to really not know what the victim’s last rights actually are. could you be a lil more clear on that sadmad

-

“My OBJECTION.... is NOT FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!!!”

but it sure is for mine [snicker]

also gr8 excuse there, roger

-

“every industry has its own way of doing things, just as we in the legal profession focus exclusively on evidence and testimony’

really? for some reason i thought you were more interested in The Magic Pool and The Screams of the Condemned.

-

i can see theyre trying to write sadmad funny but its just not.... funny???

even with roger’s obnoxious persona i find him funnier. his texting sprite is hilarious. he just looks so fuckin pleased with himself.

-

Lang Zi says... Nahyuta needs a different schtick.

-

( well this numbskull has a thick skin, so there )

-holds back tears-

-

phoenix, drunkenly, from the gallery: DEAD PERSON... PUNISHING SOMEONE THROUGH A SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBER..? APOLLO GEDDOWN THE FUCKIN GHOS’S ARE COMING AAAHHH

-

“not bad for a shitty soap opera twist”

yeesh, that was a very sudden bout of self-loathing from the writers.

-

poor manov. somehow i feel more sad about his death than the entirety of the victims in DD (apart from Clay that is)

i mean he was just some magician tryna make it big.

-

(sigh) they tried to do the ‘are you high’ joke again and yet they still dont understand what made it funny in the first place.

-

“Strange are the karmic threads before me...”

is that Koorahneese for ‘shit, I'm losing!!’

-

NOW I FEEL EVEN WORSE FOR MANOV

-

i love when villains do that thing where it’s obviously fucking them and a jury would haul their ass to jail in 2 seconds but since it’s the bench trial system theyre like :3c I'm not admitting to anything! I just revealed something incriminating and suspicious as fuck but since my name isn’t carved into it you cant punish me~~~

im not being sarcastic either, at this point its just funny 

-

apollo: AHH, HOW DID YOU READ MY MIND?!

roger must have assistant’s blood in him; all of them can do it 

-

ohhhh. ohhh. i think. i see how he did it. if so, shit bro; that’s fucked up. but actually a pretty good sneaky murder method, with some pretty good foreshadowing that really stuck in my mind. 

Not bad, SOJ. Not bad at all.

-

‘do you think the audience will let you get away with the twins schtick twice in a row?’

alright writers, your self deprecation is making me a little uncomfortable now.

-

i like picturing manov’s soul sitting on he judge’s head.

“could you hurry it up? I'm tired of listening to butterfly over there banging on about last rights. i just wanna see retinz get his ass kicked.”

-

wait did i completely miss something 

what the fuck is with the random tuna boat joke

did i miss a reference to it before

is it a joke on turnabout: tuna-boat ??

-

hang on. is this a half-case? 

they did this in dual destinies with the two last ones. i guess they can’t fit five full cases into a game after all... for some reason.

-

i was right! well done. thats a well written twist. anyway, most importantly:

IM STILL CRYING OVER MANOV. HE DIDNT DESERVE THIS

-

as much as i appear to like ragging on these games, i really hope the rest of the cases are as good. 

-

sadmad: you f––

writers: [shake heads vigorously and make cut-throat motions]

sadmad: ..! ..uhh... [opens up a thesaurus] dim-witted... ignorant... imbecilic?

writers: [nod and sigh in relief]

sadmad: putrid red pepper. 

-

“just some good old fashioned logic”

oh look at that they just admitted the ‘rethinking the case” mechanic is just an off brand logic rip-off.

-

wow that was the most over-the-top prosecutor breakdown I've ever seen. how did that even work? physically, i mean

maybe the soul butterfly is getting its revenge

-

NOO!!! NOT VALANT!!!

also holy shit that was one helluva hallucination. I'd like to think Magnifi was responsible from beyond the grave for one last feat in dickery. 

-

Trucy’s absolutely right and murder is 99% never justified, but Magnifi is heavily implied to be a bag of dicks. 

-

“Wow trucy, i never knew that being the best could be so tough good for your dating life’

-

“do you think I'm a naive greenhorn?” “No, she's not...”

don't use the ‘smile in spite of everything’ thing, don't use the ‘smile in spite of everything’ thing, don't use the ‘smile in spite of everything’ thing––

Ff fffffuuuuck

god dAMNIT

what is japans obsession with smiling thru shitty times??? its, like, ok to cry when you feel down, you know? its admirable to be strong in times of distress but your worth isn't based solely on how well you can pretend not to feel like shit

why not present that quick-ass thinking she did to get around Bonny’s mistake? THAT is the mark of someone who’s ready to be on stage. somebody who’s ready for any eventuality; that’s the mark of a clever performer. she kept a cool head and let the show go on; thats impressive!!!

get this shoe-horned in shit outta my face.

-

alright alright... theyre trying to have an emotional moment between siblings. ill calm down... for now.

-

Apollo: You’ve really changed Edge––– eh h I mean, Nahyuta.

Nahyuta: fuck you. 

-

trucy: you don't like to talk about your past, do you? because you always change the subject!

apollo: its not so much that i don't like to talk about it as that it’s constantly being rewritte––– 

[shotgun cocking sound from capcom]

apollo: I-ITS PARTY TIME, ITS PARTY TIME, EVERYBODY’S GETTIN DOWN BECAUSE ITS PARTY TIME

-

phoenix: you're a full fledged lawyer, apollo

apollo: aww gee thanks

phoenix: do you know the definition of full-fledged, in the bird world

apollo: uh

phoenix: it means they fly the coop. leave the nest. go to a completely different country, shall we say

apollo: ah

phoenix: just putting that out there apropos of nothing.

-

PHOENIX TALK TO YOUR FUCKING DAUGHTER. CHRIST. shit. sigh.

-

apollo is now fucking dead, and living up to the title “Spirit of Justice”
