#it's also great to see that people are supporting each other rn

[blakbonnet]

the thing is that i know something like this going to make fandom a meaner place to be in for a while. we'll be a bit suspicious of our poc friends and start wondering who else is lying and question the line between what constitutes "internet privacy" and what doesn't. while i can absolutely implore people not to do that (please!) to the people of colour they love, i know it's easier said than done, because a bunch of you were very close to atticus, some of you even had your fics sensitivity read by him, you donated money, you shared joys. i'm sure he was nice in return too and made you feel better when you were down.

i want you to remember that 99.99% of the people you meet are not lying to you about who they are at their core. most people are sane, and they don't go around stealing fics of friends and other authors, they don't go around pretending to be black, they don't go around using their fake race to be as racist as possible in their fics.

so while it seems hard to believe rn when everyone is reeling, this guy was an exception and should be treated as such. it's just a reminder that well, there are awful people on the internet. but you remaining kind and taking someone on their word is not a personal failure. okay? so chin up.

One of the thing I hate the most about the batfam fanon is the very popular belief that Crime Alley is Red Hood's territory only and that they love him more than Batman, or even hate Batman.

And sure, you are free to have headcanons, but when those diminish other characters so you can uplift your blorbo, or disregard other characters' morals so your blorbo is loved by everyone, it's an issue.

First, do you realize for how long Batman has been operating in Gotham and Crime Alley? He has been there for Crime Alley's folks for so long! There's this great episode of Batman: The Animated Series where Batman protects and saves Crime Alley folks when a business tycoon is set on destroying their homes. He is also shown to go visit Leslie as Batman, and helps her as Batman. ("Appointment in Crime Alley" is the episode, GO WATCH IT) In the comics, it is redundant that Bruce spend each anniversary of his parents' murder in Crime Alley as Batman. That's literally how he got Jason. He doesn't just beat up criminals, he shows up to protect the people there, from the elite just as much as common criminals. Bruce, as Batman, has been seen by Crime Alley folks helping Leslie multiple time and listening to her. In No Man's Land, the poorest population of Gotham cannot leave, and who shows up to help and protect them? BATMAN (with Huntress and Batgirl, the boys are out of town) He is the one to save them, to bring them food and medecine, to take them to Leslie. He is not letting a single one of them die and suffer more. And you're telling me people in Crime Alley don't like Batman???

Secondly, people don't feel safe around cops because they kill people who have committed crimes or are criminals in their eyes. The thing about cops is that, the system should held them accountable for that, because they work for the government. Red Hood is doing the same shit, but he cannot be held accountable. This is literally one of the canon reasons Batman cannot kill. How the fuck can you think people, especially minorities and poor folks who are the most targeted by police violence, feel safe with a man using the same logic as violent cops but with no authority to stop him. "He only kills REALLY bad people" this is totally not canon, but also, how to people know that? How do you knows that who he sees as really bad people is the same as you and you are safe? Like, racists think black people and arabs are bad people, for example. They have no reason to trust Red Hood, he is just another crime lord doing the same crime lord shit of being like "I'll protect you as long as you are following my rule and paying me money, or else you'll die". Y'all love to call Bruce naïve for believing in the human rights and rehabilitation (Norway is literally doing that shit rn and they are doing so well), but you are naïve if you think everyone in Crime Alley love Red Hood and trust him.

Side note: Bruce is the one financially supporting Leslie's clinic. She has way stricter morals than Bruce (for example, if Bruce killed someone, she would call the cops on him to send him to jail. Bruce wouldn't call the cops on Jason) She would NOT accept Jason's crime money, and she doesn't need it with Bruce backing her. She probably doesn't like Red Hood at all, because he is violent and kills, and if some Crime Alley folks give a fuck about what Leslie thinks, they would also not like him.

[hotvintagepoll]

Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh (Fire Over England, That Hamilton Woman)—That's a whole lot of beautiful in one on screen couple, and since both were stage actors they played passionate so well

William Powell and Myrna Loy (The Thin Man films)—i know they will have been submitted already but What If They Haven't Been!!!! the screen couple so hot together that people assumed they were married in real life! they match each others snark and dry deliveries SO well, theyre so married i still keep them tucked away in my mind as The Bar of established couples for movies. its also THEIR season rn new years is THE season for the thin man so a vote for loy-powell is a vote for love

This is round 3 of a mini tournament. Each poll lasts for three days. If you'd like to send additional propaganda supporting your favorite hot couple, you can reblog this post with your propaganda added, send it to my asks, or tag me in it. To vote in all the polls, click here. Happy holidays!

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Olivier and Leigh:

Loy and Powell:

William Powell and Myrna Loy from The Thin Man series. Glamorous and witty, with the banter of a will they or won't they couple combined with the mischievous affection of the happily married. And they're detectives!

They're ridiculously in love with each other, genuinely enjoy spending time together, respect each other, and just look at them:

He's dapper! She's gorgeous! Asta is adorable! They're simply the best!

Nick & Nora Charles, my pre-Code LOVES. Wikipedia describes them in one line as a couple who enjoy “copious drinking and flirtatious banter,” and they’re right for that.

Myrna Loy and William Powell, their delight in each other on screen makes me deliriously happy every time I watch them. I’ll even watch the later Thin Man movies, even if they aren’t great, just for those two flirting and smirking knowingly at each other. Watching them as Nick and Nora, you just know those characters really enjoy being with each other more than anyone else.

They had sizzling chemistry, and their real life friendship meant that they actually enjoyed being around each other, and it showed on screen.

I know I'm probably not the only one suggesting them, but I HAVE to nominate my favorite on-screen duo: Myrna Loy and William Powell. The chemistry between them has rarely been equaled; they're like the fun, cool couple that's clearly in love without ever being obnoxious about it. I love all of their movies so much, but my favorites are the Thin Man Series, Libeled Lady, Love Crazy, and I Love You Again. Obviously, I'm not alone, seeing as they had 13 movies together. Also, them+Asta? True double income, no kids goals.

(I know other people will be saying this but One Must Be Sure). MYRNA LOY and WILLIAM POWELL. From The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936), and all the other Thin Man movies etc. They're just so into each other in such an equitable way, they push each others buttons and tease each other while drinking like fishes and solving mysteries and it's REALLY HOT. They both always had a twinkle in their eyes and adorably wrinkled their noses at each other.

Myrna Loy and William Powell, who are both life goals and wife goals simultaneously. The ultimate gender envy couple.

Hiii❤️, are you taking requests for Bernard rn? And if so can you write a Bernard x reader (she/her) where she has a very flirtatious personality and he has a huge crush on her and he lovesss when she’s being that way towards him but when he sees her talk to other people like that he’s kinda jealous and maybe end in some smut ( ofc only if you’re comfortable writing that!<3)

Jealousy looks good on you

Bernard the elf x reader

A/N: ‘tis the season and the Bernard girlies have awakened. I’m shocked at all the support I’ve received from these one shots and I’m so glad to be writing more. This isn’t my best imo, I don’t know where I was going with it so I kinda got carried away, but oh well lol. I have another Bernard request after this one and then I’ll be back to my Beauty and the Beast rewrite. Hope you all enjoy :))

“She’s doing it again.”

“Who?”

“Y/N. She’s flirting with him again.”

“Your obsession with Y/N is becoming a problem.”

This wasn’t the first conversation Curtis and Bernard had had with each other about Y/N. This topic specifically. It was known by the other elves that she was confident, and very blunt when talking to others. That also didn’t stop in the romantic sense. And Bernard knew that. She wasn’t afraid to flirt with him in front of others, and that’s why he loved it so much. It made him feel good. And also slightly embarrassed. Only because he wasn’t used to that sort of attention, especially from a very beautiful girl. He wasn’t great at reciprocating her advances, but he hoped she wouldn’t stop. So far she hadn’t. But a new ‘suitor’ had entered the picture, and Bernard was not happy. Some tall, blue eyed elf that he hadn’t bothered learning the name of was also receiving the flirtatious attention from Y/N, and unfortunately he was much better at dishing it back than Bernard was.

“I’m not obsessed with Y/N,” Curtis rolled his eyes at that remark, “I’m just curious to know why she thinks it’s okay to talk with that guy when they both have a lot of work to do.”

The younger elf snorted. “You don’t seem to have an issue when she’s talking to you and wasting precious work time.”

“You’re not helping,” Bernard huffed, walking away from Curtis and towards the workshop, trying to get the image of Y/N and the tall, blue eyed elf out of his head.

**************************************************************************************

It had been a few hours since his last conversation with Curtis, and Bernard had quickly calmed down, busying himself with tasks he had yet completed for the holiday season. However, it hadn’t helped him get Y/N out of his head. From the constant flirting, to seeing her using that charm on someone else, Bernard was unsure where the relationship stood. Was it all a big joke to her? Had she been leading him on the last few months to mess with him? Before he could dive deeper into his existential dread, a soft voice sounded from behind him.

“Hey handsome.”

Bernard froze slightly, and looked over his shoulder to see Y/N walk through the door, a stack of paperwork in her hands and a bright smile on her face. Glitter on her cheeks and nose, sporting a new dress that glimmered in the light, Bernard thought she looked like an angel ready to be set atop the Christmas tree. He shook himself out of his trance, and smiled tightly back at her, unable to form any words. He quickly turned back around, continuing his sort out of different coloured wrapping paper. It wasn’t usually Bernard’s job, but he needed the distraction, and the wrapping room was a quiet place to come in the evenings.

“Curtis told me you’d be in here and I need you to sign these papers for Santa.”

Y/N held the paperwork out towards Bernard, their fingers touching briefly once he reached out to grab them. He placed them on the side of the desk and mumbled a ‘thanks’ under his breath, barely audible. Y/N let out a small huff and strolled around Bernard, taking in his tense form.

She smiled again. “So. How’s my favourite elf doing?”

Bernard didn’t bother looking up from his work. “He’s very busy at the moment,” his tone dull and unwavering.

A hand suddenly came into the head elf’s view, and hit the desk hard, jolting everything laying on top. Bernard jumped back and looked to the side where Y/N stood with eyebrows raised and her mouth pursed.

“Have I done something to upset you?” She asked, crossing her arms and popping her hip to the side.

Bernard wasn’t sure what to say, nor how Y/N might react. He’d never been great at showcasing his feelings, especially in the romantic sense. But this wasn’t just some random girl he’d found cute once and never interacted with. This was Y/N. One of his closest friends, someone he cared deeply for. Who seemed to care deeply about him too. She was also someone he worked with. The possibility of admitting how he felt, and for her to not feel the same, it would no doubt make things awkward. And he’d hate to ruin what they already have. Even if it killed him to see her flirting with someone else.

“You’ve done nothing, I’ve just had a lot on my plate and I can’t handle any distractions at the moment,” Bernard finally replied, trying to keep his voice level.

“Really?” Y/N bit back, “because I feel like you’ve been avoiding me all day. And since when do you spend time in the wrapping paper room? When Curtis told me you were here, I was worried you might be having a mental breakdown.” She ended with a joke, but part of Bernard knew there was truth behind her words.

The head elf felt himself boiling over. His temper was short, and everyone knew that, but when it came to Y/N he was unusually chill. Her presence was good for him. Not at this moment though. He could feel himself ready to lash out, and he was worried what could be said.

“Do I have to explain everything to you? Can I not spend time alone without you knowing where and what I’m doing every second of every day?”

“I’m sorry I care about you and want to know what you’re up to! Sure you can have all the time you want alone, I just don’t like it when you avoid me completely,” by now, both of their voices were shaking and getting louder.

“I thought you’d want to spend more time with your new tall, blue eyed friend,” Bernard instantly regretted his words.

Y/N opened her mouth but closed it almost instantly, her brow furrowed and confusion clear on her face. “What are you talking about?” her voice now considerably calmer.

Bernard could feel the embarrassment wash over him, desperate to think of some excuse, but coming up short. “This morning, I saw you talking to someone. It looked like he was flirting, and you seemed to be doing the same back,” Y/N’s face softened as she begun to realise what and who the older elf was talking about. “It got to me, okay? It bothered me that you were talking to him in that way when,” a slight pause, “you usually only talk to me that way.”

Y/N shook her head, a confused look returning briefly. “I don’t understand, you never showed any interest in my flirting, why is it bothering you when I do it to someone else.”

“Because I like you!” There it was. That barrier Bernard built high for years, keeping relationships at bay, had just been broken. And he didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing. “I’m not the best at showing my emotions. Romantically speaking, I’m an amateur at it. And I’m sorry I was never good at reciprocating your advances. I guess it doesn’t matter if it was just a joke to you.”

Y/N reached out quickly, grabbing Bernard’s hand and holding it close to her. “It was never a joke to me. I just didn’t think you liked me in that way so I stopped. Thought I’d try with someone else to help me move on from you.” She moved a step forward, standing toe to toe. “I knew it would never work. You’re the only person I truly care about, in that way.”

Bernard was speechless. He couldn’t stop staring into her eyes, brimmed with emotion but full of love. He mostly felt like an idiot. Never taking the chance before now to make a move or admit how he felt. He finally felt at peace. Like everything had finally worked out.

“What now?” Bernard awkwardly questioned, placing his hands on Y/N’s hips.

“I think you should probably kiss me before someone else does,” She jested back.

They both laugh and lean in, Y/N’s hands going to hold the head elf’s face. The kiss deepened, Y/N moving her left hand to the back of Bernard’s head, tugging slightly at his curls. This elicited a deep moan from Bernard’s throat, his pants growing tighter, as he tugged Y/N somehow closer to him and towards the desk still covered with wrapping paper.

“Why did we wait so long to do this?” Y/N mumbled out between wet kisses.

Bernard moved to sucking her neck, most definitely leaving bruises. “I don’t know. But I never want to stop.”

They continued making out, Y/N feeling the desk behind her and sliding on top, pulling Bernard in between her legs. She felt him growing harder, and slowly moved her hand down, palming at the front of his pants. Bernard couldn’t help but whimper slightly, gripping the side of the desk as well as Y/N’s thigh. Keeping one hand on his hard on, she moved her other back up and unbuttoned his shirt, rubbing her hand in circular motions on his chest. Bernard followed soon after, taking hold of the bottom of her shirt and lifting it over her head. The couple continued kissing and touching anywhere they could reach, seeming to care little to none about the door still being open, or whether someone walked by and found them in their current predicament. They were just glad to have finally admitted how they felt. In the back of his head, Bernard reminded himself to thank that tall, blue eyed elf for bringing out the jealousy in him.

(Sorry it seems to cut short, I’m terrible at writing smut or intimate stuff but I hope you all enjoyed anyways :))

[yuri-is-online]

Was Lilia more “Oh my thorn fairy I have another child?! I can barely cast a spell as of now and future me wants a fucking KID?! AT THAT AGE?!”

Or more of a

I HAVE ANOTHER SON?! AND IT’S FROM ME!?

If his Yutu tells him he comes from the future? Because it could imply he does regain his remaining years and magic. Idk how you wrote that problem that even rn it’s giving talk about Lilia surviving book 7 or not.

If it’s the second I already see him passing by Silver’s room really excited and saying “YOU HAVE A BROTHER!” And zooming off, leaving a very confused Silver and thinking he refers to either Malleus or Sebek.

technically anon asked first but this ask is much longer so it was awkward to screenshot for an answer. Here is the link the anon used for reference, I obligated as an elderly hater to let you know it's from SAO. Anon's idea is extremely good and we're going to roll with it for this Yutu's Uniqe Magic because you know he was always going to be a little shit.

notes: they/them used for Yuu, context on the fyuuture kid au can be found here and here. SPOILERS FOR: Book 7, Lilia's back story, and Silver's unique magic. Please engage with this in mind. For more fyuutre kid au, please check out the series section of my masterlist.

I have a bit of difficult time writing for Lilia given how much older he is than the rest of the cast, so I tend to write his Yuu as being a bit older themselves. Maybe they had an extremely difficult childhood and connected with Lilia over their shared sense of robbed innocence. Whatever it was I think this Yuu has a bit of a fascination with creatures of the night and a lot of their weirdo reputation within their community comes from kids telling each other that Yuu and Yutu are vampires. That makes me tempted to say Lilia! Yutu's real name is Alucard or Sebastian, something vaguely vampire themed.

None of those rumors are helped by Yutu finding himself very lethargic when out in the sunlight or his preference for colder temperatures. From his perspective he can't exactly help being who he is, people should really just get over themselves and let him do his thing. It's not his fault that bats really seem to like him for some reason, the neighbors are exaggerating Mr. Animal Control officer he swears.

Because he prefers to spend his awake hours in the dark, he is waaaaay too comfortable doing things and going places he shouldn't. He's real familiar with all the abandoned buildings and sketchy alleys of your town and has tagged quite a few of them. I like the idea of Lilia! Yutu being really interested in street art and Graffiti. I could see him putting up a bunch of bats everywhere and getting in a bunch of trouble for it. He has very fond memories of Yuu letting him paint murals on portions of their house in an effort to meet him halfway. He might like a good prank but unlike his father Yutu is always pulling his punches with Yuu.

Lilia didn't exactly have a supportive parent while he was growing up, something I feel like Yuu remembers and is very conscious of in their parenting of Yutu. Unfortunately for Lilia they also remember that he had another child and was a lot older than them, something Yutu raises several eyebrows at and causes him to ignore the things Yuu tries to tell him about his "great sense of humor" and "desire for different peoples to learn and grow with one another-" yeah that's great can you back up a bit to where you said he had another family? Yutu goes through life thinking he was the product of an affair Yuu had with a much older, married man who was just trying to feel young again. The amnesia stuff... sometimes he wonders if his dad tried to have Yuu killed. He never says it out loud because something tells him he's wrong, but gut feelings aren't as trustworthy as statistics...

So you can imagine his surprise when he tumbles out of a coffin and is told that his dad was a faerie general bound in service to a family of dragons, veteran of an ancient war, and technically the adoptive father of the Prince of the children of the night and the Prince of the rival human kingdom that killed his best friends. One of which is alive and overwhelmed with joy to meet him. Silver wanted Yutu almost as badly as Lilia and Yuu did so to see him alive and awkwardly squirming in his arms? Silver hasn't cried this much since they lost Lilia and Malleus.

Having a proper older brother, not just the concept, is an extreme change for Yutu. He's used to it just being him and Yuu, and he was sort of expecting Silver to hate him just for existing. Nothing could be further from the truth, Silver wants his younger brother to have the same freedoms he did while attending school but he also respectfully requests that Yutu spend at least some of his free time with him. He tried desperately to find his dreams over the years and was never able to make firm contact, but he doesn't want to pressure Yutu into caring about him. Yutu is didn't realize how badly he wanted other family members until he got to have Silver, he's even willing to take up sword fighting so they can get closer.

Sebek is also overwhelmed with tears upon seeing Lilia! Yutu. He is a bit harsh on him for "not living up to Master Lilia's legacy" because he doesn't know anything about fighting. He does applaud him for his willingness to learn. Yutu thinks Sebek is hilarious and messes with him just as much as Lilia does. Something Sebek is completely willing to let him do because it makes him feel like Lilia never left.

All of the Yutus get to see some of the photographs Yuu left behind, but Lilia! Yutu is especially interested in them. He makes a small photo album of all the ones he can find of his dad, especially ones where he's with Yuu and Silver. He's partially driven by guilt for thinking his father was a terrible person, but really he just wants to feel closer to him. He's half fae, and sure he has Sebek to talk about that with but what he really needs is a connection with his father. Yutu doesn't really care about being a faerie. He just cares about his dad's acceptance, everything else can go hang.

I don't have a name for his unique magic, but going off of anon's idea it allows him to overwhelm his target's mind, forcing them to think about their greatest fears to the point they are convinced they are really going through it. Someone hates spider? All over their face and in their clothes. Crippling fear of failure? Suddenly that emotion is all they can focus on. And if it's a mindless creature like a blot phantom or a monster they become overwhelmed with the sensation that they are unable to breathe and about to die. Yutu can't control the illusion the person experiences so usually he tries not to use it on his classmates.

That changes when he goes into the past. Some rando want to shit talk Yuu? Nightmare. Macho NRC guy wants to rumble? Nightmare. Some random guy jumped out from behind him and yells "BOO!" Nightma-

If Yutu had been just a hair slower he would have been in extreme pain, the dangerous glint in those familiar ruby eyes scream that. The short fae smiles almost cruelly, advancing on him clearly upset even though Yutu has dropped the spell.

"Well now, that's no way to great a senior." Lilia's voice is strangely soothing, it occurs to Yutu that this is probably the first time his father has ever been angry at him and he can't help himself. He laughs,

"Yeah sorry about that." He makes sure to try and be cute about it, which helps to diffuse the tension some what. "You really scared me so it was all I could think to do."

Lilia is very impressed by Yutu's reflexes and control over his unique magic. He is even further impressed by how eager Yutu is to train with Silver. The kid has some real promise and fits into Silver and Sebek's dynamic better than Lilia could have dreamed of. He really hopes the two will benefit from having a relatively normal human friend their age to train with. Maybe he and Yuu will stick around and give him some piece of mind about the kids being in good hands when he's gone.

Yutu hanging around Diasomnia gives him an excuse to chat with Yuu more, not that he exactly needed it. Lilia sort of hates the way he's drawn to you, it feels unfair. Unfair to you to give you hope there could be something more and toy with your affections; unfair to him for life to finally allow him to realize what romantic love is like just in time to have to let it go. There is a bittersweet tone to all of your interactions that his housemates are a bit too socially awkward to pick up on but Cater does.

Yutu is surprised how much he likes Cater, he associates him with a terrifying monster he's had to fight multiple times, not a fun guy who is really determined to help his parents get together. And what's even better he's really chill when Yutu asks for stories about Lilia, he has a lot of them and a completely different perspective than his older brother allowing Yutu to glean some more insight to what his parents might have been thinking in the future.

He finds himself spending a lot of time with the pop music club, not as an official member though he's not great at carrying a tune. Kalim, Cater, and Lilia are glad to have another person to chill with, sometimes they'll play music and Yutu will draw something based off whatever noise they made. Cater wants to talk him into doing album art for them... you know if they ever get around to making a recording.

I think Yutu will only tell Lilia who he is if he has no choice. He wants to mess with the timeline as little as possible, but should a monster from his timeline appear in this one, say like an overblotted Yuu another asker was so nice as to bring up, well it's not like he says who he is. He just addresses the monster as his parent and has a very loud meltdown not wanting to fight them again. Something Malleus is more than willing to assist him with.

"Think nothing of it." Malleus's power is truly terrifying, Yutu is torn between sorrow that he wasn't on their side and relief he didn't overblot a second time. "You are Lilia's son yes? That makes you my subject, and a most precious one at that." Not that Yutu has avoided interacting with Malleus exactly, he's just found talking to him exceptionally awkward because well. He's not Yuu, he's very aware of how important Malleus is supposed to be. But the way he's looking at him now makes him think that maybe he was missing out on interacting with another older brother.

Something that's confirmed when he turns to see how big his father's eyes have gotten, the man is shaking as he stares at his face and flicks between him, Malleus, and Silver like he's staring at the most precious pieces of art in the whole universe.

As you brought up Lilia's survival isn't guaranteed, I did not solve that problem at all. I sort of just... wrote that Lilia would age more or less like a normal human and not really be able to use magic on par with what a fae would consider normal but would still be impressive to a human... so while Lilia might be a bit reluctant to show his face in Briar Valley he would still have enough years to have and raise Yutu. He might have actually died around the same time as Yuu if they had lived a normal life.

He is overwhelmingly excited at the thought of having another baby. Lilia might not know what to do with them but he does really like kids. What's harder for him to accept is his relationship with Yuu. Raising a child is something he's done before, being someone's long term partner is not. He is unused to feeling desirable, and unfamiliar with acting on his own desires. Sure Lilia might seem very free spirited, but much of his life has been dictated by a sense of duty. The thought of having something precious to him that chose him specifically of their own free will is... disarming. He's overwhelmed with how helpless you make him feel and how little he despises it.

Yutu's need to be accepted by his father is met and exceeded almost immediately. Lilia wants to cook a big family dinner for Yuu and all of his boys, something that Malleus politely rejects asking if he can instead show his Culinary Crucible skills off to Yutu (it's really so he can make babiest brother promise to never eat anything Paw Paw makes EVER) and it's all so normal Yutu almost forgets that he's listening to a practical god smugly tell him he knows all about edible weeds as his father flies around him cracking jokes and pinching his cheeks. His older brother is asleep on the couch waiting for the food to be done and his precious parent is helping his Uncle Sebek set the table, listening to him sniffle about how beautiful Master Lilia's family is.

Lilia might be practically retired, but his mind is still sharp. The information Yutu is able to pass on to him lands in good hands. When he tucks Yutu into bed that night, long after the boy has gone to sleep so as not to embarrass him he makes sure to take a good long look at the little miracle. He is beyond grateful Yutu exists, not even the Thorn Fairy could have given him a finer blessing (he'll have to make sure to tease you about that later, that's got to be a good pick up line) He will make sure that this risk his son has taken pays off, Lilia Vanrouge wasn't feared for no reason. Something it seems some foolish mortals need reminding of.

Wrestlemania Predictions

Ok now smackdown is done I'm doing final predictions before mania tomorrow :) i have no doubt 90% of this will be wrong.

Jey Uso vs Gunther

Really hoping this match has some blood, cos if Gunther doesn’t try to do the same to Jey as he did to Jimmy, that’d be stupid. I feel like Jey is defo gonna win this, maybe due to Gunther being too busy showboating instead of focusing on the match. Cos he’s been real keen on mocking Jey recently. Possible a Jimmy return too, but I hope he doesn’t get too involved, cos Jey needs to win this clean if he’s gonna be taken seriously as new champ, cos a lot of people are doubting him. I still want Gunther to win though, just cos he’s my dude and I will support all his rights and wrongs.

Preditction: Jey Uso Who I Want: Gunther

War Raiders vs New Day

I don’t have as much in the way of theories for this one. I think New Day need the win cos so far all they do is whine and not much else. They need a win for some credibility and I’d like to see their first heel title run. The only way I can see them losing rn in a way that would be interesting is if Big E came back and did some shenanigans to cost them the match. And as great as it would be, I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Prediction: New Day Who I Want: New Day

Rey Mysterio vs El Grande Americano

This whole schtick has had some funny moments, I’ll admit, but I don’t see this going beyond mania, especially with the controversy behind it. I just don’t think it’s worth it. I think Rey’s winning and gonna unmask him and that’ll be it. Although it would be kinda funny if on the raw after mania, Gable and Americano come out and stand next to each other and are two different people, or if when the mask comes off in ring it isn’t Gable. But I don’t think that’s gonna happen tbh. Just end it at mania and we can all move on with our lives.

Prediction: Rey Mysterio Who I Want: Rey Mysterio

Jade Cargill vs Naomi

Honestly I have no idea. I think Jade could do with a win since coming back but Naomi also could do with the credibility as a heel. It could go either way in my mind. But I do think Jade has a better chance for her to get some revenge. But still, I feel like it could defo go either way.

Prediction: Jade Cargill Who I Want: Jade Cargill

LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu

Hoping they’re finally gonna pull the trigger on Fatu as a solo act, cos his stuff’s been really cool so far. I also feel like Knight doesn’t really need the title and could probably move on to fighting for a world title instead. So YEAH.

Prediction: Jacob Fatu Who I Want: Jacob Fatu

Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair

Very excited for this one considering all the supposed backstage drama with it. I hope they kill each other. I also hope WWE have realised from the rampant booing of Charlotte that she does not need another title and that it is in fact Tiffy Time.

Prediction: Tiffany Stratton Who I Want: Tiffany Stratton

Roman Reigns vs CM Punk vs Seth Rollins

Oh god this is gonna be messy and I have a LOT of thoughts. Tbh I’m not really sure how this one will go. Part of me thinks Punk might get the win on account of the fact that it’s his first mania main event. Another part of me says Seth’s gonna win via Paul Heyman shenanigans even though he said he had no intention of getting the favour he claimed to be owed from Heyman. I definitely feel like this is gonna be the start of some new feud or extending this one in some way. I've wondered if Heyman might wind up with Seth and Roman & Punk try to save him, but that might be a bit too campy. The most likely thing in my mind, is that Roman and Seth try to work together to beat Punk, but Punk beats them, as he's done so many times before. And this sets up some feud with Roman and Seth, since their old SHIELD bullshit is still getting in the way of their lives, and they need to just put it to bed. I really hope this happens, cos I want Punk to be rid of shield related storylines and people whinging about him leaving over a decade ago because he had a staph infection and got fired. I just wanna move on and get feuds with Gunther or Cena or just about anyone else. But if this really is the end and all three just go their seperate ways afterwards, then I have no idea what will happen. I expect we'll be getting Roman Reigns vs CM Punk at some point down the line, but not sure how this match will lead to it, if it does (I'm writing this past 4am so maybe I'll get a better idea when I've slept). Also I feel like out of everyone, Heyman is the only outright face in this story. So I'm sort of judging everyone on how they treat him. Seth has been nothing but a bitch the Heyman, and out of the lot, I'm getting the most sinister vibes from him. Like he's so obsessed with removing the man he deems a cancer (Punk) that he doesn't realise he's becoming a cancer himself. Reigns is a bit muddy because he isn't outright evil, but him getting quite angry at Heyman is a red flag. And of course with Punk, they had the whole battered wife thing with Heyman and Punk coming to Heyman's aid (even if it was unsuccessful) on two occasions. So I'd say in this feud, Punk is the closest thing to a face, and Seth to a heel. But I'm sure people on here could argue about that till the cows come home. Because obviously none of them are really a face or a heel, which is why this is so hard to determine. They're all pretty grey in this so it's hard to say for certian, but yeah, for now I'll say Punk, just cos I'm hoping he will feud with someone else next, and he's closest to being a face out of the lot.

Prediction: CM Punk Who I Want: CM Punk

Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair be Rhea Ripley

I'll be honest, this feels kinda obvious to me. I'm betting Iyo wins. They've been disrespecting her SO MUCH I just feel like at this point, she needs the win to remind them who's boss. I think maybe Rhea and Bianca will be too busy spatting, and Iyo will take advantage, just how she did when she won the title in the first place. She's gonna fight to be taken more seriously as a champion and I'm here for it.

Prediction: Iyo Sky Who I Want: Iyo Sky

Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs Bayley & Lyra Valkyria

I dunno. All the talk about "they're not even a real tag team" from Liv is making me think that Bayley and Lyra will win with the power of friendship. It's hard to say, to be honest, since this match was decided so late and had very little build. But here we are. Still hoping for Liv and Raquel to win, cos I love those little shits.

Preditction: Bayley & Lyra Valkyria Who I Want: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez

AJ Styles vs Logan Paul

Ok, as is tradition, I'll probably go for a piss or get something to eat since LP is gonna be on my screen. Can't stand him. But I also have a gut feeling he's gonna win. Dunno why. Tbh I don't really know anything about this feud cos it's another that hasn't had much going on, and when I is on screen, I either busy myself with something else, or marvel at how much the crowd is booing. I'll be honest, I don't actually know at this point what this feud is even about. But I have a scray feeling LP is gonna win because of course he will (I'm probably just being paranoid). But I really don't want him to.

Prediction: Logan Paul Who I Want: AJ Styles

Bron Breakker vs Penta vs Finn Bálor vs Dominik Mysterio

I think this match should be called "The Destruction Of The Judgement Day". Cos Liv and Raquel are always off doing their own thing now. Carlito is just a side character anyway. JD is gone. Finn and Dom have been getting pissy. I feel like Dom is on the rise right now, and is gonne win this. Finn might be happy that judgement day won, but I think he's gonna be more pissed about him not winning. Judgement Day is definitely on it's last legs, and I feel like the story with Dom and Finn is the only thing holding it together now. So I'm betting shenanigans will happen, and Finn and Dom will start feuding, and the Judgement Day will be no more. As for who I want, even though I don't think either will get it at all, I'll be rooting for Penta because I just really fucking like him, and also Bron mostly because of the parody of Steiner Math that he did on the kickoff show today. I'm just really fucking with that guy right now. Also his spear and his speed are always peak. But I'm happy with a Dom win because that makes a lot more sense story-wise, anyway.

Prediction: Dominik Mysterio Who I Want: Penta/Bron Breakker

Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre

I'm really not so sure who's gonna win this one. All I know is I want Drew to win, because that's my fucking guy. I think the crowd is definitely behind him, and part of me is wondering if he may end up turning face again, but being the Little-Shit™ type of face. I think he deserves his revenge against Damian. But at the same time, I feel like Damian's gonna win to get his necklace back. So unless this is gonna be the start of a multi-match feud, then I think Damian's gonna be winning this one :(

Prediction: Damian Priest Who I Want: Drew McIntyre

Cody Rhodes vs John Cena

Ok, and now the big one. I will always be a Cena fan. I've been watching WWE since '06, and been properly invested since '09. So Cena was always a childhood hit. I want him to win his 17th title. I'm really not too precious about Cody or his championship reign. And tbh, after all the fuss of him winning it, it needed to be something big to lose it, and this would definitely work. Also, usually the heel regularly gets one over on the face in a feud, to make them more of a threat for the actual match. And yet Cody has repeatedly overpowered Cena with ease. He quite famously has to do a crossrhodes multiple times to get anyone to stay down. And yet TWICE a single crossrhodes has killed Cena. So now Cena's looking almost like an underdog. I feel there's gonna be some shenanigans in the match on the day. Probably involving the Rock. But I think story-wise it also makes sense for Cena to win, because you can then do the whole thing of everyone trying to win the title back so he can't retire with it at the end of the year. Like a big countdown timer. Also I can't help but notice the parallels to CM Punk. Cena winning this title and retiring with it feels a lot like MITB 2011. But also, the idea of him winning the belt and there being a countdown to him leaving and people trying to win it back so it stays in the company, also feels a lot like the Summer of Punk. It's making me feel like there could be a Punk feud coming up after this. Maybe not immediately, but soon (maybe MITB?). So yeah, I just feel like having Cena win would give more options for storylines for the rest of his retirement tour.

Prediction: John Cena Who I Want: John Cena

So there we go. Chances are 99% of this could be wrong. And as it always happens when I post any pre-PLE predictions, someone will comment about something I completely forgot about that ends up making me change my mind. But for now, I'm gonna leave it at that. Otherwise I'll be theorising all night. And I wanna watch HOF and just go to bed right now. So yeah :)

[buddiebeginz]

Fyi these are the kind of posts that B/T stans are sharing:

I still 100% believe that Buddie is in the works for season 8 but if we want to make sure of that we can't let the 911 social media accounts be full of this crap. We need to be out there constantly reminding Tim and anyone else connected with the show how supportive of Buddie and 911 we are.

Don't forget it was our fandom that had a hand in getting the bi buck storyline to even happen. There's no way they would have done it if we hadn't been pushing for it for years. We need to continue to be just as vocal now for Buddie.

I know a lot of things didn't go how we wanted in s7 and I know things with fandom right now are frustrating (to say the least) but we still need to be a positive voice out there for Buddie. If we aren't reminding those involved with the show and the rest of the 911 audience of Buddie then the main thing they're going to be seeing on the 911 social media accounts is love for B/T.

For years people have found 911 and started watching because of Buddie. We still want that to be the case. We don't want the trajectory of the show to change in s8 where T*mmy gets more popular so they decide to keep him and Buck together for awhile longer. And like I said I don't think that will happen but shows change so you never know.

Make sure you’re liking/sharing Buddie tweets on Twitter, talking about Buddie on every official 911 account post that has Oliver and Ryan in it (including the B/T one). This includes instagram, tiktok, yt (they're not really active on twitter rn but maybe for s8). Also make sure to reblog and not just like Buddie related posts here on tumblr. It's important we are able to do things like get Buddie trending on places like tumblr and twitter. Also try and create new posts when you can even just texts posts tagged as Buddie help.

We don't just want people involved with the show to see how much love is out there for Buddie we also want people who are new to the show to see what's so great about our ship. I've seen newbies to 911 message B*mmy shippers and ask about the show because the most they know about 911 is the hype they saw around the B/T kiss. There is so much more to 911 than that and there is so much more to Buck's story than that.

A huge portion of the 911 audience is because of Buddie. People have always been drawn to the show because of Buddie and we want that to continue. It's also important that people who are new to the show feel welcomed into our fandom. Our fandom is where people can truly see Buddie for the amazing love story it is and not the warped version that B*mmy shippers have concocted.

I know everyone gets busy and doesn't always have time to devote to fandom stuff but I'm just putting this out there to as reminder that the other side is pushing for their ship. So just don't forget to show your love for Buddie even in small ways when you can. Buck deserves a better love story than the one he had in season 7 with T*mmy. Both Buck and Eddie deserve the epic love story they should have been having by now with each other and we can't stop reminding everyone of that.

[arcadianmoonshadowjedi]

Hey so. I'm not up to date, still watching. Didn't see any fandom reactions so far. What do we think about Callum choosing Rayla over Ezran?

Right now, I'm torn. Part of me is super happy that Callum and Rayla pledged themselves to one another, for it to then immediately be tried, tested, and won. (I'm happy that their relationship won.) I love that the situation has them suddenly face a loyalty conflict that they didn't think they'd have to solve. I'm happy that it comes unexpected, catches them off guard, and that they have to decide on the spot. It's messy, puts them on edge, and I love it.

Callum also seems to initially give a really smart answer by differentiating between his role as High Mage and his role as a brother. However, depriving Katolis of its High Mage in a time of great need such as the one they're in?? really is a special kind of treason, and the King's brother abandoning the King NEVER looks good either, especially in that time of need! The show treats it like a private conflict, but Callum has a function in the royal court. He just signaled to all of Katolis that the King's family quit supporting Ezran. So although Ezran isn't in a good personal place in that episode, if he chose to interpret Callum's actions as high treason, I'd be with him.

I think the scene lacked certain tensions of unspoken things though. It still happened all too quickly. Ezran didn't know that Rayllum swore to never get separated again. Callum should have forced a different kind of magical time-out than the ice thingy (which directly attacked Ezran and his personal bodyguards), he should have played for time to explain. I'd have made him send Rayla and Runaan away, stay behind to explain to Ezran, then catch back up with the elves.

Then, if there was still some hurt between the brothers, at least Ezran would know the full story and would know where to place his priorities. The brothers could work to at least stay out of each other's way, instead of clashing again like when Callum sent the letter to suggest imprisoning Aaravos again. That wasn't Callum's place, he was out of touch with Ezran's warfare strategy by this point, and he was endangering his little bro's kingship by messing with his authority.

I wouldn't say it was out of character, but it certainly was more messy than necessary and lacked one of Callum's better ideas to resolve it.

I'm at the third-to-last episode rn, Ezran and Callum haven't yet met again, but Ezran did receive Callum's letter. No spoilers pls, but I'd love to hear your genuine reaction!

Hey so I personally think this situation was a lot more complicated than Callum just choosing Rayla over Ezran for loves sake. The way I saw it, Callum was torn between two people he loves. On one hand he was trying to tell Rayla to be patient and kept trying to tell her Ezran will eventually come around, to which Rayla after clashing with Ezran at the council meeting, she no longer felt she can wait. On the other hand, he did try to talk to Ezran esp about how he shouldn’t keep blaming Runaan for the kingdom being destroyed and how he’s playing into the cycle of violence he pledges to stop. While Ezran’s hurt and anger towards Runaan were completely justified, I felt like his actions came more from a place of vengeance rather than being right. Callum even called out Ezran for forgiving Zubeia who was the one who sent the assassins in the first place.

Callum only fully took Rayla’s side once Ezran showed up with an entire army to confront Rayla and Runaan which then resulted in Callum taking action against them to prevent Rayla and Runaan from being harmed. He did end up leaving with them not only because he ended up committing treason but also because he felt like Ezran was too vengeful and angry to listen even after trying to talk to him earlier.

As for the letter, unlike Ezran, Callum knew that Aaravos couldn’t be permanently killed which was why he was proposing the prison plan, which could’ve been a more permanent solution if no one were to find the prison again. The problem with Ezran was that he was falling into Aaravos’s trap not knowing that using the novablade to kill him would bring him back the next time the stars align and even potentially kill everyone around them.

While I do think that arc 2 shows some complications between the two brothers esp because both Callum is the older brother but Ezran is the king, which does cause a power imbalance between them, at the end of the day they’re still brothers first and foremost. I won’t spoil the last few eps, but I will tell you I loved and was very satisfied by how things went, including with Callum and Ezran. 😍😊

Hope this answered your question 🙌🏽

Mob Psycho 100 Fanfic Recs

Hyper fixating on Mob Psycho rn and have been reading a bunch of fanfic. So I thought I'd be nice to create a list of some of them.

All fics listed are completed unless I specify otherwise.

Also here's someone else's MP100 fanfic masterpost for more recs: here

Last updated: 9/20/24

Issho by ToastyToaster22

VERY long read. Main character is child Teru. An AU in which Teru met Mob and Ritsu before the incident where Ritsu got hurt. Story really gets across the evil of Claw with them kidnapping kids and harassing the few who keep getting away from them. Story also shows Teru's shitty neglectful parents and Dad!Reigen. Teru goes through the ringer in this fic. Fic takes place over the course of 2 - 3 years.

In general this writer has a lot of great Mob Psycho writing. They write a lot about Teru and TeruMob. Also I really like their take on the Kageyama parents. We may not see much of those parents in cannon but it's clear they do care about their kids. Toasty does a great job on using them as actual characters.

Immoral Support by c_c_cherry

Teru lives alone, and has been living alone for awhile. He's given money from his parents but that's it. He knows how to fake signatures but now the school is demanding to see a guardian in-person. Teru not knowing what to do, pretends that Reigen is his guardian, things go on from there.

The Ties were Black, The Lies were White by generally

There is some sex in this story, fyi. Basically Reigen is going to his sister's wedding and can bring a plus-one. Serizawa wants to go with him. They decide to go as "business partners". They do things such as sharing a bed and dancing as "business partners". Of course they realize their feelings for each other and confess. The sex scene is a bit after that.

Walking Mob Home by CryRan88

A short two chapter story about Reigen walking Mob home after work. First chapter: Mob feel asleep and Reigen gives him a piggy back ride to Mob's house. 2nd chapter: Reigen is asleep and Mob gets Dimple to posses him so he can still walk Mob home without actually waking him up.

Mother by Sunlolli

Reigen's got some mommy issues. His mom dies and starts haunting him. The espers in Reigen's life don't want to get rid of her without Reigen's permission but she's really messing him up and he just wants to get some approval from her. Story is a bit depressing but very good.

In Quicksand by SpiritusRex

Reigen gets possessed and gets sick. Unreliable narrator Reigen. Don't worry, the spirit gets caught pretty quickly, and Reigen ends up fine.

It Takes Time by CowardlyBean

A very short fic about Reigen quitting smoking for Mob's sake. Very cute.

you'll have to make due with a reasonable facsimile by SoliAvi

A short fic that takes place right after the end of the separation arc. Reigen and Mob eat ramen together again and Reigen apologizes. Very sweet.

When you need me by SpiritusRex

A 5 + 1 fic. 5 Times Mob hugged Reigen and 1 time Reigen hugged Mob. 1: Little Mob asking for advise about nightmares. 2: Mob being hurt after the Teru fight. 3: Mob holding onto Reigen to float them both back home after the first Claw arc. 4: After the Mogami arc. 5: After separation arc. +1: Reigen hugging Mob after digging him out of the broccoli after 2nd Claw arc.

Rainbow Veins and Life in Technicolor by BinaryDreams1010

As it turns out, Reigen actually IS an esper. He's an empath, and that comes with being able to read and manipulate others emotions. He did not know he was doing that. He just thought he was REALLY good at reading people and convincing them. Serizawa figures it out and tells him. The first story is about Serizawa figuring out Reigen is an empath, the 2nd story is about what Reigen does after knowing he's an empth, that is trying to figure out how to get rid of a spirit on his own.

Use Your Words by CowardlyBean

Reigen gets possessed by a spirit that hates espers. He's stuck in the backseat of his body while it pilots him around, pretending to be him. It's an ass towards Serizawa and Mob. Of course the other characters figure out something is wrong.

Area Hysteria by c_c_cherry

Reigen and Dimple visit a worn down building slated for demolition to get rid of a spirit. The building collapses with them in it. Dimple is fine, Reigen isn't. Dimple posses Reigen's body to help keep him alive and hope for rescue soon. Reigen gets rescued... eventually. But this isn't the end to the problems because Reigen ends up in sort of supernaturally-induced coma that Mob has to get into his head to get him out of. Long story. Marked as unfinished but ends at a really good stopping point. (Update: It started updating again)

Haunting My Own Skin by Kirii_Kitten

Reigen dies and then posses his own corpse to pretend that everything is normal. Dimple is concerned that Reigen's spirit is going to corrupt, his fears are well-founded. Reigen gets found out of course and things go to shit, but there is a happy ending.

symbiosis by ruthwrites

AU in which ???% is a separate entity from Mob and it's made of energy and jumps from esper to esper. When Mob gives Reigen his power during the 1st Claw arc, ???% goes with that energy. Problem is that it didn't go back to Mob, it got stuck in Reigen. I recommend the whole series, the series is kind of depressing though. Reigen really goes through it in this series. I don't want to give too much away but... Reigen isn't gonna come out of this very... human. Each entry in the series is completed, however I can't help but feel the series itself isn't completed, it seems to end on what would be the start of this AUs version of the Separation Arc. It's a bitter ending.

Yesterday by ch_am

Takes place during and after hot springs OVA. Shows Reigen's experience in the parallel dimension. On the train ride home, Reigen has a panic attack and runs off to the bathroom, Serizawa helps him and realizes that Reigen was in that dimension for awhile. Serizawa goes back home with Reigen to make sure that when he wakes up he won't be alone again. They eat breakfast together and talk about what happened.

Reflection by Silver_fox221

Turns out Reigen is a kitsune. He did not know he was a kitsune. He's in denial at first what with these traits only appearing now as a 30-ish year old. But even when he accepts the truth, he can't bring himself to tell the others besides Dimple (who he knows can keep a secret). His kitsune traits include being able to turn into a fox, having a silver orb that's a physical manifestation of his soul that he has to protect, and also a new found fear of dogs. Fic is unfinished but has a very unique idea. I only found a few other stories that had Kitsune!Reigen but in the other ones I saw he already knew he was a fox.

Categories

A lot of fics I like fall within categories, like they play with similar ideas. So I thought I would create lists of fics that cover the same topics. If you like one in a list, you would probably like the others.

Train OVA (Reigen has a bad time)

Teru's Parents Suck, Reigen to the Rescue

re: my recent jekyll and hyde posts

everything makes so much more sense in the book if you assume that jekyll's crisis started being visible to his friends when he hit 40 and quit his promising career as a professor of law

1. why lanyon hates him so much. its not that jekyll was researching magic per se, its that jekyll made a huge change out of nowhere into a field jekyll knows basically nothing about and started claiming he's an expert in it. to hastie, that looks like quackery

2. jekyll is a fellow of the royal society, which means he's done "great things for the world of science and mathematics". considering he was a lawyer up until age 40, the idea that he's bribed his way in (and that straining his relationship with lanyon further) makes a lot of sense

3. why utterson clings to the protege idea for hyde. jekyll, being still very new to that field and kinda out of his league, taking on an apprentice (probably a uni student or recent grad) to help actually run things makes a LOT of sense

4. jekyll writing his own will, and the things he says when utterson complains again. jekyll knows he's done a lot of weird shit. he also knows civil law like a mfer and knows he has utterson by the balls on this one. but this really explains why he's like "i know this is just the icing on the cake of weird shit i've forced you to endure. sorry :/"

5. jekyll living in that shitty neighborhood. he saw some doctor died and medicine (especially being a famous doctor) is a special interest of his, so he bought that lab and WILL NOT LEAVE IT. HIS LAB

6. hyde going in and pointing out loopholes in biblical passages. that's what he was doing, right? writing blasphemies? he was bored and saw a buncha laws written out and figured he'd do what jekyll used to do - case review

7. why jekyll's notes on the experiments SUCK. once its in writing, you're fucked, legally. also why he won't admit to any real crimes in the confession other than the already-solved case

8. him insisting on putting MD before DCL or any other title. that's the one he wants to highlight. please believe he's a real pharm-dawg. please take his medicine seriously

9. he's basically a conspiracy theorist who decides to get really into, idk, learning how 5G towers work, and has a friend who works for a telecom company, and suddenly friend finds out the conspiracy theorist quit his "real job" to build his own 5G towers or some shit like that. jekyll is those flat earthers who get lost at sea trying to find the ice wall

10. im still not over jekyll suddenly building a state of the art lab on his own just for shits and giggles. so much expensive glassware... and the labcoat again. he DEFINITELY has a custom leather labcoat that he never wears except to flex on lanyon

11. any adaptation that lets jekyll be a respected physician is just repeating the lies jekyll told us

12. im not against people suddenly changing careers as they age and realize more about themselves. that's part of the reason i'm obsessing over this, is i can't stand the workplace i'm in rn and will be making a similar choice to jekyll when i can afford it

13. re:12 i want to highlight how maybe if his friends gave a shit about his mental health maybe things wouldn't be so bad. my poor autistic king who accidentally ruined himself with overindulging in his special interest and bad coping mechanisms bc his social support was nonexistant. #mecore

14. re:13 fuck lanyon and fuck utterson for doing this. this is what makes the story such a tragedy to me. its like looking in a mirror and seeing the man you MIGHT become. hyde is here for me but please don't let him be the only one here for me

15. jekyll and hyde being each other's only true friends, in their own fucked up way. hyde loves jekyll's medical endeavors and hypes jekyll up to lanyon. he insists on calling jekyll "doctor" as in jekyll MD as in he's a fucking real medical doc and you WILL take him seriously

16. jekyll x utterson lawyer yaoi, like ace attorney civil cases edition

17. lanyon trying to figure out if the career change is somehow jekyll flirting

18. i want to see an adaptation that is this. i also want to think that jekyll got his MD just to flex on vicky frankie

[hotvintagepoll]

Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin (The Last Performance, The Man Who Laughs)—I admit I haven't seen The Last Performance yet but it looks like they were a couple in that movie (albeit horror-style) so I'm hoping it counts. In the Man Who Laughs they were incredibly sweet, lighting up with joy in each other's presence through the entire movie and constantly holding hands and touching. I once heard it described "you don't have to be sold on the idea that those characters were in love" and it's true!

William Powell and Myrna Loy (The Thin Man films)—i know they will have been submitted already but What If They Haven't Been!!!! the screen couple so hot together that people assumed they were married in real life! they match each others snark and dry deliveries SO well, theyre so married i still keep them tucked away in my mind as The Bar of established couples for movies. its also THEIR season rn new years is THE season for the thin man so a vote for loy-powell is a vote for love

This is round 2 of a mini tournament. Each poll lasts for three days. If you'd like to send additional propaganda supporting your favorite hot couple, you can reblog this post with your propaganda added, send it to my asks, or tag me in it. To vote in all the polls, click here. Happy holidays!

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Veidt and Philbin:

Loy and Powell:

William Powell and Myrna Loy from The Thin Man series. Glamorous and witty, with the banter of a will they or won't they couple combined with the mischievous affection of the happily married. And they're detectives!

They're ridiculously in love with each other, genuinely enjoy spending time together, respect each other, and just look at them:

He's dapper! She's gorgeous! Asta is adorable! They're simply the best!

Nick & Nora Charles, my pre-Code LOVES. Wikipedia describes them in one line as a couple who enjoy “copious drinking and flirtatious banter,” and they’re right for that.

Myrna Loy and William Powell, their delight in each other on screen makes me deliriously happy every time I watch them. I’ll even watch the later Thin Man movies, even if they aren’t great, just for those two flirting and smirking knowingly at each other. Watching them as Nick and Nora, you just know those characters really enjoy being with each other more than anyone else.

They had sizzling chemistry, and their real life friendship meant that they actually enjoyed being around each other, and it showed on screen.

I know I'm probably not the only one suggesting them, but I HAVE to nominate my favorite on-screen duo: Myrna Loy and William Powell. The chemistry between them has rarely been equaled; they're like the fun, cool couple that's clearly in love without ever being obnoxious about it. I love all of their movies so much, but my favorites are the Thin Man Series, Libeled Lady, Love Crazy, and I Love You Again. Obviously, I'm not alone, seeing as they had 13 movies together. Also, them+Asta? True double income, no kids goals.

(I know other people will be saying this but One Must Be Sure). MYRNA LOY and WILLIAM POWELL. From The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936), and all the other Thin Man movies etc. They're just so into each other in such an equitable way, they push each others buttons and tease each other while drinking like fishes and solving mysteries and it's REALLY HOT. They both always had a twinkle in their eyes and adorably wrinkled their noses at each other.

Myrna Loy and William Powell, who are both life goals and wife goals simultaneously. The ultimate gender envy couple.

Do you have any head canons on how the Faroff universe and Specter universe do if they met each other?

OOOOOOOH I love hearing about Specter, it's so underrated and deserves so much more credit & attention than it gets!

I'm going to split this so it doesn't take up the entire screen of people who might just want to scroll past, this got way too long-

Well, there's what Lennon said on her story on Instagram once... If I remember correctly, she said that Tobias & Fenn would be fascinated by the concept of Specter existing inside a robot body... And some other stuff that I vaguely remember but won't try to quote because I don't want to make a fool of myself LMAO. I do remember that what she said fit pretty well with what I already headcanoned about them possibly meeting though.

First off, I think Adam and Tobias would get on very well considering they're both sort of "inventor" types that love to build things and figure out how stuff works. I think Tobias would be absolutely fascinated by Adam's machines and probably ask a shit ton of questions about how they all work. Much to Adam's delight I'd imagine, he's probably just been waiting for someone to ask about them.

Adam is definitely the type to admire Tobias' woodworking skills too. He'd probably be as aggressively supportive as Fenn is on that particular subject tbh. Especially since Adam seems to be accustomed to far more advanced technology than Fenn & Tobias have access to, so I think Adam would be blown away by what Tobias can achieve with far less resources. (It might even remind him of the sculptures in Specter's attic, which Tobias would probably highly admire as well... Although in a world where these two universes are actually canonically connected, I imagine the sculpture of Tobias up there might blow up some big mystery 👀)

I think Adam and Fenn would get along too. I've talked to several people who think Adam & Fenn have similar energy/Adam reminds them of Fenn (or vice versa), and I agree in quite a few ways, so there's that. Don't get me wrong, their personalities are vastly different, but the way they physically express themselves (they have a lot of similar expressions/body language) and the way they talk (the absurdly proper wording lmao) can be very similar. I think they might feed off that energy and be even more over the top than usual...They might start accidentally elbowing people with how dramatically physical their body language could get.

Fenn, of course, would probably also be fascinated by the machines like Tobias, and probably ask a bunch of questions as well. But, for some reason, and this might sound oddly specific, but I have a weird hunch about it...I think what they ask would be different. I think Tobias would be asking more about the inner workings of the machines (as in, how separate parts of it function or how Adam built them) and Fenn would be asking about their purpose (as in, what Adam built them to do.) I have no clue if I'm just absolutely bullshitting rn, but yeah.

Okay WOW this is getting long (I feel bad for the people who send me asks 💀)

Luckily, Specter is a bit simpler. He's an absolute sweetheart so he gets along with everyone. As Lennon said, both Tobias & Fenn would probably be fascinated by Specter's state of being, and have a lot of questions for him initially. I can see Tobias in particular asking about the radio and how Specter's voice works. Not that I think they have much of an answer for that...

I can also see Fenn helping Specter make a nice pot of tea & some snacks while Adam & Tobias go off to nerd out over their shared love for machines. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think Fenn & Specter would be a great friendship duo. Fenn could teach Specter the recipes he knows, and they'd honestly probably be able to relate with each other over the whole "having to reinvent yourself and your entire worldview" sort of deal. For very different reasons of course, Fenn was brainwashed & Specter just literally forgot everything because he died, but still. Both of them have been in that sort of place where they don't even really know who they are or what their purpose/direction in life is anymore.

OKAY if I thought more I'd probably almost definitely have more stuff to say but I'm really talking y'all's ears off SO YEAH

Thanks for the ask!!!! ❤❤❤

Thoughts on My Adventures with Superman S2 episode 4

Alright 2 things, 1 I love how General lane Not only set up an entire bunker like fortress in Clark and Jimmy's apartment, but also made them Use a Code word in order for them to Even get in, 2 I Reallly love Clark's reaction to Jimmy's achievement, it really shows how much he cares about his friend and is really happy for him 😊 Also is it me or has the Animation gotten So much Better this Season, they really stepped their Game up since the Spiderman fiasco, especially when it comes to the lighting and faces, I mean just look at Clark's smile here >_<

Bruh I'm calling it right now, by the end of this Season Jimmy is going to lose ALL of his Money, that Money meter keeps going down each episode, if that isn't foreshadowing Idk what is ^^;

Once again I'm really loving the relationship between these 2, the fact that Jimmy wants Clark to come not because he's an Alien but because he's his best friend is really sweet, and it really shows just how much the writers Really know about Superman and his world and want to make it to the best version, also the fact that Clark is LITERALLY deciding which outfit seems more "Hype man" is Really funny to me, especially Jimmy's comeback line after this

Judging how Waller is clearly making another Task force X I wanna say this Blockbuster, but I'm not entirely sure, so far this guy's only appeared in like a few episodes this season, So if they kill him off I Wont entirely be mad, because he serves No purpose other than filling out the Villain slots, and the reason why I'm saying this might be Blockbuster is because I can't recall another Villain with super strength and Built like this in the suicide Squad other than blockbuster, who coincidently died IMMEDIATELY in a Suicide Squad comic run

Even though the episode is clearly about lois and father, it's Super obvious that it was actually focused on the relationship between Clark and Jimmy, and how they feel about 1 another, this scene with Clark telling Jimmy about how he's made him feel was really beautiful and Ngl, I kinda teared up at this point, the relationship between the 2 is some of the best I've seen in a Long time since the animated series back on WB Kids, they really put a lot of effort into fleshing out each character and making us Fall in love with them even more ^w^

The whole Superman Debate Scene was great, I really loved how Lex and Jimmy are basically two polar opposites, 1 supporting superman and his pureness and the other being Superman's biggest Hater, with both literally being incredibly rich rn, and it's kinda funny, while Jimmy is losing money, Lex is Gaining money, gaining everyhing that we know him for; Lex brought up a lot of good points regarding Superman and how "Dangerous" he is, Stuff that I think will Return in Season 3 with people Gunning for Superman or trying to Eliminate him, maybe we might actually see Batman Show up Next season 😏

I find it So CONVENIENT that general lane's Rendezvous point Just so happens to be near the STAR Labs EXPO, almost like if this was planned for this to happen here, So that when Superman shows up he could be made out as the Bad guy *looks intently at Lex*

As Sad as this scene is you're really telling me He DIDN'T HEAR THAT!? I mean the dude has SUPER HEARING for a reason, you're REALLY telling me he Didn't hear that? Ok whatever Sure, I guess super hearing Only works when the Writers Need it huh, even though they made a WHOLE episode about that Last season 😒

🥺🥺🥺 I don't have any words for this scene other than Seeing Clark like this really hurts my soul, seeing him come to the Realization that he's Never gonna truly fit in and that He NEEDS Someone like him to Really understand him just shows how much Clark has repressed these feelings by trying to be Something he's not, which is human, Now he's Finally starting to accept his Alien/Kryptonian half, with the 1st step being to find someone Truly like him

ZOD IS HERE OMG ZOD IS HERE!!

Also I Officially dub these Days "Superman Saturday's" ^^ 🦸‍♂️

[tshifty]

What can we do? All day I read the news and awful awful updates about the country and im just completely at a loss. I’m not a lawyer or a protest march organizer nor do I have the present capacity to become either of these things. Call my senators and representatives? Is that all I can do? I’m asking this genuinely as a concerned young person, not rhetorically. Because I just see so many terrible headlines about what’s happening but not about what can BE DONE. Thank you for fighting this fight

this is such a good question and one I am also asking. I can share some things that I know are good to do, and would love to hear more ideas too!

distribute "know your rights" flyers in your area to help spread knowledge about what to do if ICE shows up, and to also show public support for immigrants. you can print out flyers and tape them up on street poles, put them up in libraries, ask local business owners to put them in their stores, etc. here's a really great resource for this: https://barriodrive.com/pages/know-your-rights-print

connect with local food pantries (such as food not bombs) and ask how you can volunteer your time, donate, etc. see what support they need or what recommendations they have for your area

connect with your local abortion fund, similarly see if you can volunteer time, money, etc. whatever you are able to do. make sure you know how they are distributing abortion pills and other reproductive care.

check in on your friends, set up secure and encrypted ways for yall to communicate. people are struggling right now, and it is going to get worse. we need to lean on each other, and that is a skill that must be practiced and grown.

see if you can find a community garden near you, and/or someone you know with garden beds, and consider how you can either grow food or support in other ways. food is going to get expensive.

make sure you have KN95 masks! if you don't have any, or are running low, consider buying a pack of them. mask in crowded spaces - idk about other places but ive noticed an uptick in people being sick right now. for sure part of it is that it is winter, but with the CDC forbidden from sharing info with the public rn... it's a good practice to either continue or get back into if you've stopped.

if you do have capacity to show up to direct action (protests, etc) then make sure to do so SAFELY!! never protest alone. always wear proper attire (black block (plain black clothes), wear a mask, shoes you can run in, leave nonessentials at home). do not take pictures with people's faces in them at protests! if you do take pictures, be sure to cover up all faces if you post these pictures anywhere, and only post screenshots of pictures to wipe any metadata on the photo file.

honestly... buckle in. if reading and research is up your alley, then read about historical global long-term revolutions. there is a lot of history to learn from. what is happening here has happened before in many other places in many other contexts.

if there is publicly-available governmental information that you use for any programming you do, archive it. save everything onto an external hard drive. the CDC had dozens of major pages wiped today -- luckily they were archived. this won't always be the case.

Also, I forgot to add to that long rant vent, but Tom is in Boston rn with Z as she's filming the drama and some fans get mad at him being there, but that's also a sacrifice most male actors who are in demand wouldn't do that. If he was like most, he'd be filming a project rn or isolating himself to prep for Nolan.

Z and Rob have been filming in Boston, and literally yesterday, Tom was at Boston College writing a donation check through the brothers' trust to their disabled students department. It hurts not to be so parasocial, but when I see him do generous acts like these, it warms my heart, and I get so confused sometimes cause those fans see him as a villain.

Z also came to support him in his play, and fans forget that also, like she's not in demand. Most actors wouldn't do that.

Not shaming those who do, but relationships take a lot of time and at times sacrifice, especially when you are in demand careerwise and they do it gracefully. It's not easy. That's why most male actors have flings or unserious relationships, like Leo lol.

Okay end of rant,

✌🏾💓

Also, I forgot to add to that long rant vent, but Tom is in Boston rn with Z as she's filming the drama and some fans get mad at him being there,

Giiiiirrrrrl anybody who's actually mad that a man is going to support his fiancée gf while filming her work while he's free from work himself has some real issues that they need to work out lol. 😅

Like why on earth is what someone is doing in their OWN relationship bothering you so much? 🥴 Go worry about your own life and relationship!

Maybe Zendaya asked him to be there with her? It's pretty clear that they move in tandem with each other these days, and maybe they've realized that this works for them so that they don't go through another breakup. Like you said, dating an actor is tough work. It's a lot. Not everyone can be successful with it because it's challenging. That's why the Hollywood couple success rate is so LOW.

but that's also a sacrifice most male actors who are in demand wouldn't do that. If he was like most, he'd be filming a project rn or isolating himself to prep for Nolan.

Yea, it's definitely a sacrifice!

Idk if I'd say that "most male actors" wouldn't do this. I've known of other male actors who visit their gfs on location.

Keep in mind too though that Tom and Z are in more of a position to do stuff like this now because of the years of being on Disney and Marvel's payroll. In the beginning stages of their relationship they weren't spending weeks with each other on set either coz they were both hustling and busy. They made time for each other on set, but it wasn't months.

You don't remember all the times we would know when Tom was leaving LA to go back home? Yea, Tom would visit Z's sets from time to time, but they weren't spending months.

Their relationship has changed.

Z and Rob have been filming in Boston, and literally yesterday, Tom was at Boston College writing a donation check through the brothers' trust to their disabled students department. It hurts not to be so parasocial, but when I see him do generous acts like these, it warms my heart, and I get so confused sometimes cause those fans see him as a villain.

That was so sweet!!! 🥰

I agree with you, it's very frustrating seeing people hating on Tom when he's such a sweet guy and a good person 😔, but unfortunately that's what comes with massive (or even slight) fame. I've come to accept that not everyone is going to like my faves, and that's OKAY! The fandom isn't for people like them anyway. We don't want any haters in Tom's fandom in the first place! 😅

I personally haven't been on-line much, so I haven't seen backlash about Tom being in this Nolan film. I've mainly been seeing nothing but great stuff! 😃 Even on Twitter I see most people being EXCITED! 😁

I don't care about what naysayers say. I really don't. Most of them are the minority anyway. Why pay attention to a small vocal minority in the first place?

Not shaming those who do, but relationships take a lot of time and at times sacrifice, especially when you are in demand careerwise and they do it gracefully. It's not easy. That's why most male actors have flings or unserious relationships, like Leo lol.

Yea, like I said, it's not easy! It's not easy dating even out here for us regular folks. 😒

Also, if male actors or Leo want to have flings or unserious relationships due to work obligations, then that's fine?? 🤷🏾‍♀️ What people choose to do in their own romantic life isn't my business. I don't really care. All I care about is if you're a good actor and I like you as a person. How you spend your personal time with your significant other is your business lol. 😆

Keep in mind too that a lot of these women they're dating know the deal and are fine with it. They just want a handsome man on their arms while they either build their own careers or get money or gifts out of the relationship. Not every woman out here is looking for marriage, a white picket fence, and 2.5 kids lol 😆

Some women are just out here having fun dating these famous handsome guys, and that's okay too! 😄🤷🏾‍♀️
