More Funny Little Moments #1: Season 1, Episodes 1-12

So, I decided to do this post after all. Halp. LOL Because I apparently LOVE giving myself a bunch of unnecessary work, I decided to choose two to three extra moments, per episode! SUPER halp! X’D Anyway, these are moments that didn’t make the cut for my FFLM series because: my sense of humor is a little weird, they were gonna be too much work (LOL/Siiigh), I like to highlight patterns, and I don’t like a lot of repetition. [Links to each FFLM along the bottom of the post. :)]

Let’s start with something I originally agreed with other fans on but have since changed my mind. A lot of people didn’t like this part of “Chariots of War” because it seems so ludicrous that Xena would forget her chakram anywhere. Well, let me tell you! This lady has left her weapons behind most episodes thus far. I didn’t note it every time here (and especially didn’t bother with her whip) because that’d really overrun the post buuuuut… You’ll see. XD

1.01 Sins of the Past

Xena’s shift being so much dirtier than the little boy’s clothes though she’s high up off the ground, and he lives in smoked-out rubble.

Yup. Xena forgot her sword (and later, her main saddlebag) at her mother’s tavern. Pft.

Sorry these were kinda lame, but I didn’t want to re-use any more of the original fifteen points I made about this episode... Ah well. Moving on! (heh)

1.02 Chariots of War

Xena loses her sword after the chariot crash, taking up and discarding Sphaerus’s but walking off without her own. (See her front and back and both of Argo’s sides.)

Gabrielle chewing Xena out, Xena being bummed about it, and Argo being surprised. X’D

1.03 Dreamworker

This got me good. Gabrielle does Xena’s war cry so well here that I really thought it was Xena for a few seconds. Realizing it was GabbyWabs only made me chuckle more because she apparently can’t do it when it really counts in “The Greater Good.”

Argo NOT being on Team Gabrielle. XD (Their feud is a little funny to me.)

1.04 Cradle of Hope

Xena tossing aside her sword after killing Nemos. Extras even dance and celebrate right on top of it! Wut thuh?

I decided to avoid mentioning Hope in the FFLM because Xena’s quote here is more ironic than comedic, and Gabrielle’s little face is just so sad, but I didn’t want to let it pass by entirely unremarked upon. At least GW gets to show off her oracle skills again? :’)

1.05 The Path Not Taken

So, Xena and Gabrielle walk into a bar… Heh. No, but really, they enter this tavern for the first time ever, yet the bartender not only knows what they want, he knows that they’re coming and has their drinks waiting for them too. All Xena has to do is knock on the counter and nod to get her fire-breath alcohol/oil, and Gabrielle barely has the word “cider” out of her mouth before the guy hands it to her. Xena, like me, is duly amazed.

Lucy, through Xena, making another timely anti-peanut statement. I just didn’t want to do the same thing twice back-to-back in the FFLM. X)

1.06 The Reckoning

Gabrielle thinking along the same lines Xena and I did about this poor excuse for a judge.

Me not being well-versed in ancient Greek heroes and picturing the fool who Draco killed so handily in the first episode. heh

1.07 The Titans

I’ll let Xena explain this one. …Mostly. I can’t believe Gabrielle not only sassed the Titans such that she unashamedly put Xena and Phyleus in danger too, but also kinda got this (admittedly awful) town demolished and didn’t lift a finger to actually help anyone in the temple. Tsk tsk. XP

So… Hyperion here can smash homes and businesses that were probably well-built and reinforced and all, but he can’t get his hand out of a stocks-cuff that was made in a single evening with scraps from those destroyed buildings. He also, inexplicably, has no use of his left hand or the power-breath that he used to knock Gabrielle over. Okie. XD

1.08 Prometheus

Is this really a thing? I was giggling quite a bit in disbelief that severed windpipes can heal. Like, perforated is one thing; completely bisected? Yeah, I don’t think so.

Gabrielle being incredulous upon learning that Xena has other friends, realizing what the warrior princess means, and then wondering if that could be her one day. 

   1.09 Death in Chains

Gabrielle enjoying watching Xena kill someone for the first time, then quickly realizing that fact. Whoops.

I found this moment really odd and then kind of hilarious. This poor dying old woman begs for water and goes ignored not only by the hospice workers, but also Talus and Gabrielle. Then Talus decides to be helpful. Gabrielle goes to the woman and lets her talk a lot (undoubtedly drying her mouth and throat even more), hears that Xena might be in danger, and then just… leaves. Talus goes with her, not having gotten water from the well after all. What a couple of jerks! XD

1.10 Hooves & Harlots

I really don’t know why Gabrielle kept making this face as Terreis died, but it tickled my funny bone too. So, I provided alternate subs to go with it. [Did you notice how she kind of cringes when Terreis tries to hold her hand and then just lets the Amazon flop once she’s died, flinging her hand aside like, “Ew, get it off me!”? What was that all about? X”) Hm… maybe she has an aversion to dying people, and that’s why she abandoned the old lady last episode?]

Gabrielle being a smart aleck, just like me, because Phantes’s complaint here is so ludicrous. But then you see the close-up of little hoofies in cuffs too, and, if you’re anything like me too, kinda just topple over laughing. The poor actual horse they did this to, though, man! What even?

Gosh, this episode was chockfull of hilarity, eh? Why did this happen? Gabby, take it away!

1.11 The Black Wolf

I laughed at this too. But now I wonder. Is Xerxes related to Caesar and/or connected to Rome or something? Because Xena does this twice around them too. In “When in Rome,” she jokes that the two guards lost playing tag with her, and in “A Good Day” she informs Pompey that if there were more guards hiding around their meeting space, then she would have had more helmets. heh Oh, Xenie. I think I know why Gabrielle’s turning out to be such a little punk ...or vice versa? Is Gabrielle actually a bit of a bad influence on Xena? XP

So, this fight just struck me as really odd. Xena passes her sword to Flora though she (Xena) needs to battle the big boss of the episode, and… actually, is totally right. The king throws a single wide-ass punch, waits while Xena kicks the guy behind her a few times, lets himself get kicked in the face a couple of times, and then comes at her with a little piece of chain, presumably from the restraints that were intended to keep Flora in place during her execution. Sir, you have a sword! A giant sword, right there on your hip! What are you doing? Then, when Xena kicks him a final time and sends him flying, his (supposed-to-be) metal armor is no match for the splintered wood of the axe she broke earlier. …Okie. XD XD XD   *gif below*

Xena once again leaves her chakram somewhere. …And I am now imagining this being part of Gabrielle’s maid duties: the poor kid has to go find Xena’s weapons each night and bring them back to her. I’m especially imaging the fluffball hilariously, adorably struggling to get the chakram out of things like this wall, as she did with Xena’s sword in the tree stump in “Dreamworker,” but more parallel to the floor. Cuuuute! XD

This plus this 

*pic + GIF below*:

1.12 Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts

This scene too really made me wonder, though amused as well. Why is Gabrielle so surprised that the only city nearby, that they were headed to, is the one they find? Is she really being that loud? Is Xena goofing around with the bootlaces question? Why startle Gabrielle and then yank her into enemy territory screaming, when what you want is quiet? What’s with the trapdoor-spider soldiers? Xena’s pose throwing the chakram. XD Gabrielle mostly featherlight dance-y moves through the battlefield. XD XD XD Why is it that when Xena tells Gabrielle to stick right behind her, Gabrielle disappears? And what was with the bucket-sitting soldier? Gabrielle is like, “Oh; no, thank you!” when she sees him and turns tail. Then Xena ...follows her. “We’re goin’ this way! Now we’re goin’ that way!” But they still end up dead-ahead from where they burst out of the bushes. XD That was ridiculous and nonsensical, and I’m very confused but had lots of fun. heheheh  *gif below* [ETA: Darn! The original file was too big, so I had to remake the GIF and cut quite a few things out. :( Sorry]

Xena’s outta-nowhere crusade to emasculate Deiphobus coming full-circle. What was that all about?

Welp, I hope you had as much fun as I originally and then later did. Not so much in the middle with the collage-and-GIF-making and editing and redoing, but; y’know. XD Wouldn’t trade it for …Hm… Nevermind. LOL

[prose-for-hire]

They say romance is dead

Pairing: Angel x reader; Spike x reader; Faith Lehane x reader [Choose your own ending]

Request: But have you ever seen interactive fics? Where you can choose your ending? Like for example: Spike and Angel trying to woo the same girl. And the end is interactive. Like there's an ending for when you pick Spike and one where you pick Angel. (and maybe one where you don't pick any of them because maybe you're already with someone of your choice?!)

Requested by: @kind-wolf​

Warning: Small sex reference. Swearing.

A/N:  Reader speaks kinda gossip-y on the phone lol. I really hope this is okay - I loved this idea so much, I couldn’t help but make a third option with Faith !! I’d love to do more of these if you have any more requests/scenarios.

There’s a tense change in the middle, if it doesn’t work tell me I’ll rewrite it 💜

You were laying on your bed, the phone to your ear as you thought about the night before. You twirled the cord around your finger as you sighed. You felt as if you were living inside some kind of work of fiction. You had two vampires seemingly interested in you and you had no idea how to even sort through your thoughts let alone think about making a choice of one over the other.

One was named Spike, he was a punk inspired vampire with the body of a Greek God. The man was hot and he definitely knew about it. He was fierce but had a soft side he wasn’t ashamed to present to you. The other, Angel. Angel by name and occasionally by nature so long as you caught him on an ensouled day. He was tall, dark and incredibly biteable despite him being the vampire in the equation. He wasn’t a man of many words, but those few words had been surprisingly sweet when directed towards you. Both were incredibly attractive and both had an intriguing and ultimately tragic backstory that you would be lying if you said hadn’t intrigued you.

“Hey, I’m not judgin’, it’s your life y’know?” your good friend Faith confirmed from the other end of the phone, trying her best to comfort you the way she knew how. She wasn’t really used to in-depth phone calls like this one with friends, but she couldn’t help admit she enjoyed having someone that could vent to her and would listen if she needed to talk as well.

She asked you to explain everything that had happened, so she could help you weigh up the pros and cons. You knew what her advice would be, to get under them both and judge for yourself. But you decided to talk through it anyway, for your own peace of mind.

“It all started a few months ago…

I was spending time with Spike, he had been so kind to me. He found me alone and offered to get us some drinks. He said he had some kind of discount. He was so soft with me, I couldn’t believe it was him.

We had such a great time, he was asking about me as if he really cared. He looks at me like I’m the whole world sometimes. And he spoke so beautifully. So emotionally about his past, it was as if he trusted me in a way he hadn’t with anyone else. I’ve not stopped thinking about it since.

Then the next night I had bumped into Angel, he offered to walk me home. He seemed to really care that I got home safe. We got talking and I invited him inside, he seemed so pleased that I had. I couldn’t help smiling – my face was aching after he told me a story about a demon he had to defeat. He’s a good story-teller. It had me in stitches – but not as many stitches as the demon probably needed.

He told me he liked spending time with me. That when we were together he forgot about his troubles. He forgot about his past. That it was just us.

 I had been spending so much time with each of them I hadn’t realised how close I was to them both. They have both been making sure I’m safe after dark and being so much more physically affectionate.

Ever since then, Spike has been really protective. We fell asleep cuddled up in his crypt watching old re-runs of soaps. He’s always so attentive and sweet and I don’t know what I’d do without him in my life.

 And Angel? He gives the best hugs. I swear he kissed my forehead one time and I swear I could have melted. He’s always there for me, the other night we just stayed in all night enjoying each other’s company. I was leaning against him and he read aloud to me. It was so cosy.

 Anyway, it all got a bit awkward last night. I was at that bar – you know the one. I came across the both of them and I didn’t realise they were arguing until I made my way towards them. They looked like they were about to fight there on the dancefloor but there is a strict no-violence policy in there so they managed to stop themselves. It was that, or they sensed me coming. The closer I got, I realise they’re arguing about me! I know, crazy right?

So, I split them up - they tried to swing at each other. It was awful to see them fight ‘cause I care for them both so much I just don’t know in what way. But they wouldn’t stop squabbling with each other until I shouted at them to stop. There was this horrible silence and then they looked me dead in the eye and asked me to choose!”

You finished your explanation, intaking a large breath – you hadn’t realised you had been speaking without breathing with such pace. Faith had been listening and shaking her head at your tendency to romanticise things like this but didn’t comment. She was trying her best to assume the role of supportive friend.

“Shit. What’re you gonna do?”

“I don’t know… why is everything so difficult?” You sigh, thinking of them both earlier. You were incredibly fond of both of them, but you felt caught in the middle.

“They say romance is dead, y/n/n” Faith stated, opting not to give you any solid advice.

“Yeah, but nobody ever warned me it was fucking undead” You muttered and she snorted with laughter, unable to give you any further advice other than the inevitable ‘try before you buy’ line she had sworn by since you had gotten to know her.

She had told you to bring the lucky suitor to her house-warming party if you managed to decide by then. If not, she assured you she would have a selection of eligible party guests for you to choose from. Faith had recently moved into somewhere more permanent right around the corner from where you lived.

Spike:

It had been a few days of reflection and you found one man, well vampire, stuck in your mind. You missed his touch, his comfort and reassurance. Just as you were thinking of him you saw him. He was looking around before skulking down a darkened alleyway. You squinted, following him and trying not to make too much noise to spook him. He listened and stopped abruptly and your eyes widened as you copied him.

“Bloody hell, pet, you ever actually heard of stealth or what?” he said, still facing away from you but he knew exactly who you were. He could only hope to bump into you after everything. He had been fearful he had pushed you away by giving you an ultimatum.

As you walked over to him and your heart skipped a beat. You saw his face, a smug smile playing on his lips that it was him you had seen and chosen to follow. He had seen Angel brooding extra hard the past few days and knew you hadn’t spoken to him.

“Sorry I just saw you and I... well, I needed to see you” 

“Always got the time for you, love. You know that...”

He moved his hand, tucking a stray strand of hair back as his gaze bore into yours. You moved further into his touch, the feeling better than anything you had ever experienced. His touch was magic. If his heart could beat, he was sure that you would be able to hear it. He couldn’t face another day without you - he had to say something. 

“I love you, Y/n, I’ll never bloody stop. Not until my body turns to ash and dust and some poor bugger on minimum wage sorts my remains into the trash”

“And I love you too. I’ve never been so sure of anything. I would choose you every time”

He scooped you up without warning but your legs were quickly wrapping around his waist. He pressed you between his body and the wall of the alleyway, not leaving any space between you. It didn’t matter where you were, this memory would be long since remembered. The kiss was sensual, slow and filled with passion threatening to pour over. 

Your breath caught and he allowed you time to breath as he pressed meaningful kisses along your jawline. His eyes had been closed, his feelings were running through you as if they were your own with every touch. His lips worshipped you, he had you pressed against the wall whilst he supported with with one hand and stroked your side with the other. His strong hold making you feel so safe.  You were his. He couldn’t believe it, he finally had you all to himself.

 “You wanna... go to a party with me?” you mumbled, your mind still spinning as you asked between your deep breathing. He didn’t miss a beat, just looked at you as if you had suggested something ridiculous like he walk into the sun. 

“Fat bloody chance, love. I want you all to myself” He whispered in your ear, leaving you grinning as he hoisted you over his shoulder and stalked off to find you somewhere more private where he could treasure you properly.

Angel:

It had been a couple of days since the incident between Angel and Spike. It was after dark and you were walking around aimlessly, trying to clear your thoughts. You were walking slowly down the street, someone on your mind that you weren’t even conscious about until you heard his voice. Somehow, you had found yourself outside of his house.

“Y/n?” a voice asked. You closed your eyes, the rich tone of his voice drawing you in. You knew in this moment exactly where your heart belonged.

You slowly turned around, looking directly into his soul. A soul that you were sure was bound to yours in some abstract way. You loved him, how could you not see this until now? None of the squabbling with Spike mattered. All you wanted was him. You would drop everything if it meant you could be his.

“Hey Angel” you tried to be casual, but your voice faltered slightly. There was something so intimate about his gaze. You walked towards him and he rested a hand on your arm. A comforting gesture – he was so used to being in contact with you. He loved how warm you were, your body heat comforting to him. He liked how alive you were, how you never once judged him.

He looked you in the eyes, trying to sift through his feelings. His thoughts. He looked as if he wanted to say something and you nodded softly, resting your hand over his in encouragement.

“Why am I so nervous? I’ve done this a million times…” He saw your horrified face at his apparent “Okay, twice” he admitted quickly, putting his hands up in surrender. You smiled at him and he quickly mirrored your expression. e He

He loved your smile, he could spend hours just enjoying how it lit up your face. He was gazing softly, before looking down at the ground. He had been ashamed of the way he had joined Spike in giving you an ultimatum.

You moved and pulled him into you, his lips now on yours. 

“I thought after the other night…”

“Don’t ruin it now with your big mouth” You smiled, teasing him lightly. He smiled, wrapping his arms around your waist and resting possessively on you.

“I love you, y/n. D’you know that?”

“You may have hinted it slightly” You laughed and he smiled more as you replied, “I love you too… I’ve never felt anything so much” you smiled as he scooped you up into a close embrace. He opened the door to his place and invited you in. He had been frowning, as if in deep thought as you both entered.

“You know what this means? I beat Spike!” He exclaimed, apparently not quite reading the moment. But you could tell that he was only joking.

“Don’t ruin it!” you warned, not able to stop giggling at his boyish boasting. You roll your eyes but he just presses his lips against yours again, hoping to make you forget about his earlier comment. His hand cupping your face 

His hand pulled you flush to him, your kiss deepening his lips demanding and earnest at the same time. He made you dizzy as he sat and pulled you onto his lap. His kisses told you of his love as if you needed any further confirmation. His lips explored you slowly, cherishing everywhere they brushed against your skin.

“Do you want to come to a party with me?” You asked, grinning wide as you already knew his answer. His face lit up in a way you had never seen before as he pulled you to rest on top of him. He hugged you to him as you leaned into him, smiling as he thought about showing you off to Faith’s party guests.

Faith:

It had been a few days since the call. You walked out into the sun, closing your eyes and enjoying the sensation on your face before you carried on with your day. It was in this moment that made you realise there was something that you wanted way more than fangs and a bad back from sleeping in mausoleums. You wanted something real. Not something that could easily be torn away from you in a movie-style showdown between two competing vampires with loosely defined morals.

There was one person you spoke to about everything. Confided in over anyone else. It was her. Faith. How did you not see this sooner? Neither Spike or Angel meant anything compared to her. You felt lighter after this revelation, as if you were walking on air. Sometimes fate worked in funny ways, like the sun’s rays bringing you epiphanies of romance-novel proportions.

You were running a little late, but you wanted to dress nice for her party. You knocked on the door, the anticipation already killing you. The door swung open and there she was.

 “Faith?”

“Where’ve you been, y/n/n? You know the fun only starts when you’re around” She grinned, ruffling your hair before starting to turn away. You couldn’t see, but she had closed her eyes, savouring the moment. She had expected you to bring one of the vampires that had been trailing after you so eagerly lately. She was pleased that it appeared to just be you but it didn’t mean she was any closer to revealing the way she felt.

She struggled to articulate her feelings, but she had them for you. In the biggest way. She had been waiting for you to show, the only guest she was bothered if they turned up or not.

“Drink?” She offered, your drink already made. She really was waiting for you to arrive and it was your favourite too. You sipped on it happily.

“Thanks – what would I do without you sweetie?”

She almost winced at the affectionate term. She enjoyed you referring to her that way, you had since you had started to become close. She had teased you at first, pretending she didn’t love it. But she did.

“So, did ya manage to choose?” She asked, almost hesitantly. You nodded and she did wince this time, not able to catch your eye anymore. She knew this day was coming, but you had hoped it wouldn’t be too soon.

You nodded and her eyes widened. Her eyes dropping to the floor. This was going to hurt her, she could feel the jealousy curling around her stomach and up into her chest. She felt as if she was drowning from the inside out as she waited with bated breath for your answer, as if hearing which guy you chose would make the rejection any easier. She had so many feelings for you she just wanted to scream them out loud, pull you to her and show you that she was the best one to take care of you.

“I’m pretty sure I love you” you stated, leaving her head spinning and her heart beating dangerously fast against her ribcage. Her eyes whipped up, widening in shock that you took for horror, “I-I’m sorry if you don’t feel the same way, I just had to say it. It’s you. It’s only ever going to be you that I choose” You continued softly.

“Come here” she murmured, pulling you against her in the middle of her new living room. The group of party-goers cheered as your lips met hers, your hands tangling in her hair as you tasted love for the first time, her lips were soft and pressing desperately against yours. Your lips parted for her, her tongue entering your mouth slow but wanting. She held you to her, her hands propelling you closer to her.

She had been waiting a long time for this moment, “I love you too” she whispered against your lips before grabbing your hand and gesturing that she wanted to show you her new bedroom.

Hello, Well 2018 was a Great time for Cinemas, and what a Year for such Creature Features such as the ones I will be reviewing here, and now may I present to you some reviews of the movies that I've observed on the Big Screen that year.

Pacific Rim: Uprising – My First movie to see in Theaters since I couldn’t find a Perfect time to see Aardman’s ‘Early Man’, but I’m pretty sure this Year would be a Monster of a Movie experience in the Cinemas. Since I’ve have and Watched the First film on DVD, I would think that I should enjoy its Sequel that has been made, and even though Mr. Guillermo Del Toro (the first film’s Director) didn’t direct this Film, he Helped Produce it as well. And as I said before, I do Love a Good Giant monster film, and this film was always filled with Suspense, Action, & Drama, and I would Fear that there won’t be any Hope left if those Giant Monsters win. Also it breaks my Heart wide Open to see a Character who I say and Liked in the First film died in this one. And that one Villainous Character is sure a Wicked Dick (*pardon my Language*) about this one being Possessed by a Kaiju Masterminded Brain. And surprising how that Rouge Jaeger was controlled by a Kaiju Brain, Hit him once & he’ll hit you back Twice as Hard. But I’m glad the heroes win in this Battle, and it took near the Tail end of the Film for the Movie’s Title to appear, unlike the First one where you wait 15-20 minutes for the Main Title to appear in a longest prologue, but for Me, I would almost stick with the Original Film.

Rampage – As I said before, I do Love a Good Giant monster Movie, and this is one of them. And it was a God-Epic monster Mash, even had some hilarious Moments, like when George flips the Bird, and I was like “Did that Primate just flip a Bird?”, though I do know another Ape who can Flip a Bird. And not to mention that the movie is actually based off an Old Arcade game of the same name, and if you Look very closely in the Office Building of Energyne, there are Arcade Cabinets of the Original ‘Rampage’ game, and ‘Rampage: World Tour(?), though I’m not quite sure what the other one is. And the monsters are Hardcore Badass, I don’t know which one(s) are Great (though I pick all of them), and for Bonus, there was another Creature in the Beginning of this Film that was a Rat Test subject. And the Sequence where they hunt the Giant Wolf Down was Awesome and it gave me Goosebumps completely. Plus some Good Elements from the Game is Included as Well, such as Eating People, Tearing down a Building from top to bottom, the military being involved, and Destruction of the monsters themselves. Even when me and my Dad were watching it in the Theaters, and when Dad watched the Commercials for the Film, one of his Favorite Quotes from the movie was “And of course the Wolf Flies”, LOL! And the Lizard Monster in the Film was so Massive & a “Pain in the Ass”, there was no End in that Creature, even when you plant an Explosion in his Ears & throw Missiles at him, he gets back up again, and I thought the Impalement on George would have Killed him Completely, but it was just thru his Shoulders and Thank goodness not the Heart Area or Between the Chests. But still, this film was an Epic Fun Thrillride, the characters are Great & Fun-filled, and I guaranteed this Year would be a Monster Movie Experience in the Theaters.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - Well, me and my Dad seen the first 'Jurassic World' in Theaters back in 2015, so we figured since we love Dinosaur movies, we go this this latest update, and to our Surprise, Original Jurassic Park star Mr. Jeff Goldblum (the big Chill, the Fly(1986)) will be starring in Guest Role, and it was a Surprise seeing him in a Honda(?) commercial to promote the Film. And That my Foodtown was already selling products, even sodas & Chips in Promoting the Features, and it featured some of my Favorite Dinosaurs in the Film such as the Classic T-Rex, and boy was that Opening Scene in the Pouring Rain so Intense, the Surviving Raptor of the Original JW film Blue, who is one of my Favorite 'Good Guy' Raptors, the Comical Dino Hard-head Stiggy, who I find entertaining & Funny in the Movie, and My Favorite Villainous Dinosaur, the IndoRaptor, and if you think the Indomenous Rex in 'Jurassic World' was Terrifying, this IndoRaptor is one Badass Creep, even when she(?) smiles while playing Dead while one of the Soldier guys was about to Chip a Tooth off her, kinda gives it like a Cartoon-y feel to it like the minor ones in 'the Adventures of Pinocchio'(1996). And that Epic moment where the Island was in Volcanic Eruption was so Frantic, even one scene in the Film was shot in One single Lengthy shot during those Round Vehicle Thingies, an I thought the Part where one of the Brachiosaurus was Left behind on the Island while Massive smoke was covering him was the most Disturbed sequences in the Film. Well i certainly enjoyed the film, while my Daddy didn't, cuz he thought there wasn't much action or creature footage in the film, as he thought there was more of some "Love Stories" being put into it, that's why he might like 'Rampage' more, where they showed some monsters earlier in the film, but you might say that some Critics praised Pratt's and Howard's performance, Bayona's direction, the visuals, Michael Giacchino's score and the "surprisingly dark moments", while others suggested the series had run its course, criticizing the screenplay and lack of innovation.

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation - Well, Mr. Genndy Tartakovsky Never Fails to impress us with this Three-times Charmer, and how Lucky was I to reserve a Seating to see this on my Birthday of 2018, after a Good Morning at the Meadowlands flea Market, and a goof Lunch at Taco Bell, I hit the Theaters with my Dad, and the Movie was Fantastic, and since Mr. Genndy Tartakovsky Co-written this Film (along with one of the 'Austin Powers' writer), I know what some Moments in the Film, there are certain scenes that are free of Dialogue, just like the ones in 'Samurai Jack'. And it was a-bit strange to see a Character from one the 'Hotel Transylvania' shorts that I've never seen, and that short was "Puppy", but in order to watch the short (even for myself), I have to watch that Gross-out 'Emoji movie' for it. But for HT3, the Climatic part of the DJ Battle with Professor Van Helsing (Drac's old Nemesis, and was surprise to see him still Alive in Machine parts) & the Kraken was Awesome, I didn't remember the first Official song played, but I do know the second being 'Don't Worry, be Happy', and the Final one was none other than the 'Macarena' and supposedly it's the Extended River remix version of the song which I have on my I-Tunes and have no regret in Purchasing it, along with Daft Punk's 'One More Time'. So I like the Film and can't wait to get it for Christmas, along with 'Rampage' this Year. And I even heard that Genndy will be working more at SPA where he will be set to Direct an R-rated animated feature titled 'Fixed', and an Adventure Film named 'Black Knight'.

Smallfoot - When I saw some Preview ads on CartoonBrew, I thought this looks kinda Weird and thought I'd just pass on it, but after seeing some TV Ads for the film, and seeing how interesting it looks, I thought I'd give it a shot, and kinda find the movie very Interesting if you wanna feel Young at Heart, and was Lucky to see it on Columbus Day, the only Actor(s) in the Cast i know were comedian Danny Devito & Basketball superstar Lebron James, and to my surprise seeing the closing credit of the film that Cartoonist Justin Roiland voiced in the film as well as one of the Yeti folks in the Kingdom, and I only know the names Common & Gina Rodriguez starring in the film. And the Music and songs in the Film are Nice, and I like how some Advance the Characters or Advance the plot, and it was Hilarious hearing one Song being sung in the tune of Queen/David Bowie's 'Under Pressure', and since Common is a Rapper in real-life, he did a Good Singing on when the Stonekeeper himself tells Migo that Humans & Yetis were Enemies in the old ages. And the other reasone I like watching this film is that I'm also Fascinated with Yetis and Drawing them, as you can see from my old 'YETI & other Stories' story in my Gallery, and one of my Yeti inspirations was the old Unfinished/soon-to-be-Finished David Allen film 'the Primevals'. And don't forget that the SF film was inspired by a book called 'Yeti Tracks', which is a good thing that some Films were based on Books such as 'Mr. Popper's Penguins', 'Home', & 'the Adventures of Pinocchio(1996)'. And I like how the Film was promoted "from the Studio who brought you 'Looney Tunes'" in which case, it is made by Warner Bros., and also the people who worked on 'Storks', and this film now made me think of two Environmental Animated films from 20th century Fox such as 'Ferngully: the Last Rainforest' & 'Once upon a Forest'.

Halloween(2018) - I never even heard that the Original 1978 classic is getting a Remake, although It may not look like a remake, but a True sequel to the Original film, and avoiding stuff on what happened in 'Halloween II(1981)', 'Halloween 4 -Curse', & 'H20'. And I read that the original star Ms. Jamie Lee Curtis will be in this Film, as well as being executive producer for the feature along with the Original 1978 Film's Director Mr. John Carpenter, as in they want to make it look Perfect as the original Monsterpiece, and they did succeed in it in Keeping the Spirit & Atmosphere like the 1978 movie. And I gotta say, Micheal Myers is one 'Pain-in-the-Ass' monster in this Film, like he always is in the original series, and I feel sorry for the People who got killed by that Creep, the Podcasters, the Boy who was equipped with a Gun along with his daddy, and a Woman who Micheal murdered and left a Baby behind. And an amazing thing my dad found in a Twist of Story is when Micheal got hit by the Sheriff, the Sheriff and the Late Dr. Loomis' student professor went out to investigate and kill Micheal, only for the Sheriff to be killed by the Professor, and when the Professor dude wore Micheal's mask, my dad thought that he was gonna be the New Micheal Myers, but Micheal resurfaced and soon killed the Professor afterwards. And one part in the Film which left the Audience in an applause is a Sequence that was based off the Original film, when Micheal attacked Laurie and pushed her off the Balcony, he saw her Body Lying there, but when Micheal turned away and looked back again, she was gone, just like what happened in the 1978's film ending. even after watching this film with my dad, he still had alot of Questions need to be Answered about some parts in the film, and I wish they showed more of the Ending with Micheal being Burned alive in the Cellar. And this may be one Creepy Classic that i might never watch again, but I just stick with the original Masterpiece of Fright & Shock.

the Grinch - Man, I am seeing alot of Good films in 2018, and this one may be the Last that interest me that Year, and this one was an Adaption of Dr. Suess' Classic Holiday Tale, 'How the Grinch stole Christmas', or simply titled 'the Grinch'. And seeing how Interesting it looks after seeing some Previews and TV Ads, especially that part where the Grinch whispers to Max and Fred "This is the Loudest Snow I've ever heard in my Life", I've decided to give it a Go, and hoping to see if it's Fascinating like the Original 1966 Animated Classic and more Better than the 2000 Live-Action Jim Carrey one, and it was. How lucky i was to see this movie on a Day off afternoon on a Wednesday, and I thought i would be the only one seeing the Film in Theaters, but it was also some Girls and their Parents & Guardians, possibly had a Half a day off. But for the Film, I Loved how the Narrator of the Film narrates in Rhyme, like the Original Dr. Suess books, and how the Writers improvised the Story using the same Lines in the Books, and It had a Great choices in Christmas soundtrack, especially in the part with Grinch Wake-up Radio with some Familiar tunes I know and Cherished. And it was a Great Film produced by the Wonders of Illumination, the Wizards behind 'Despicable me', 'the Secret Life of Pets', & 'Sing', plus they did another Dr. Sues adaption such as 'the Lorax', even some of the character designs in the film made me think of the Designs from Disney features such as 'Wreck-It Ralph' & 'Monster University'. And some of the Voice Cast in the film I know of was Keenan Thompson of 'All That' & 'Keenan & Kel' voicing Bricklebaum, a jolly citizen of Whoville, and Angela Lansbury as the Whoville's Mayor, and how Surprised/Not Surprised to hear another Familiar Voice in the Film playing one of Cindy Lou's Friends, who that boy is none other than Mr. Sam Lavagnino, the Voice of Baby Grizz in 'We Bare Bears' & Pepper and Alien King in 'Summer Camp Island'. And I'd thought Ms. Cindy Lou Who would have a cute design just like the one in the 1966 Classic, and she did have a Cuter design in this Film when it comes to the Creative Artists of Illumination. And Yet, this has become another Holiday Classic, and when I told my Mother how much Fun it is, she might be hoping to get the Film on DVD for my Niece to Enjoy.

There was a Movie called 'the Meg', though I may have interest to see that, but I wasn't sure how much interested I will be with the Whole thing. And sorry if I didn't felt like seeing 'Ralph breaks the Internet' or 'Into the Spider-Verse', I go for the Obscure & Non-Disney taste in the Cinemas as of now.

heyo! could you write something for michael / billy / stu / and any other slasher you think would be good - about their s/o who has a really bad stutter (and who possibly might be bullied or something of the nature) your work is really good and ahh!! i needed to see a stuttering mess in a work to make me happy about my own stutter

((Totally! I hope these lil drabbles help cheer you up some! And remember, never feel bad about your voice. It’s not the way you talk that matters, it’s the words and the feelings behind them. I’d write for all of them if I could but I decided to add Bubba, Norman, and Chop-Top for this one cause two of them have a stutter (though Chop-Top’s ain’t as strong and Norman’s is more due to anxiety and therefore written different) and the other is just always v good. They’re also some of my favorites so I’ll always love writing them lol. Btw I tried my best to write a stutter accurately but, like always, I want to make sure I didn’t write anything offensive or inaccurate so let me know if there’s anything along those lines. Also, this is long af so I added a read-more.

Various slashers s/o with a stutter:

Michael:

“M-M-Michael d-d-don’t do this,” you pleaded. He stared at you emotionless, as he plunged the knife back in.

“P-P-please! You-You pr-promised!” He ignored you and pulled the knife in and out of the now-mutilated flesh.

”Y-Y-You sa-said you would w-w-wait! It’s n-n-n-not e-even  H-Halloween!” He reached in and pulled out a mass of slimy guts and pulp, then gestured to you to take it. You held out your hand and took his offering, mildly disgusted.

You went to a kitchen drawer and pulled out a gallon Ziploc bag, dumping the handful inside. “H-Here. We-we’ll j-j-j-just save s-some and I’ll m-make something w-w-w-with it l-later.” Michael set the knife off to the side and lifted up his current “project” as if presenting it for your approval. You rolled your eyes, but smiled anyway.

“Yes, i-it’s a b-b-b-b-beautiful J-Jack O’Lantern, M-Michael. B-B-But it’s gon-gonna r-rot if we p-p-put it out n-now!” But even as you say it you know you might as well break out the tea candles.

Billy:

Once the bell rang, you nearly ran out of the classroom to your locker. You glowered as you replaced the books from your previous class with the ones for your next. You slammed the door shut to see your boyfriend standing behind it, a wicked, yet charming smirk on his face.

“Boo.” You just rolled your eyes.

“N-Not in the m-m-mood.”

His brow furrowed at that, usually you were more happy to see him. “What’s up babe?” his eyes looked around defensively at your fellow classmates wandering the halls, “Some punks giving you shit again?”

“N-No…” you sighed, “The t-teacher c-c-c-called on me in c-c-class today to r-r-read. Asshole kn-knows I d-d-don’t w-wanna t-talk in front of ev-everyone.”

Billy scowled at that, “What a fucking prick. Want me to teach him something?”

You hesitated for a moment, he was a jerk, but no. “D-D-Don’t w-worry ab-b-bout it B-Billy…He’s-he’s j-j-just doing hi-his job…”

“Hey,” Billy gripped you reassuringly by the shoulders, getting you to look him in the eyes, “Never let nothings like that make you think less of yourself baby. You’re amazing just the way you are.”

You almost felt yourself well up at his thoughtful words. Sometimes he shocked you with how sweet he could be. You nodded, and leaned into hug him.

He returned the embrace, and you felt him lean down to whisper into your ear, “You wanna just ditch and watch movies at my place?” A very tempting offer you may just take him up on.

Stu:

“H-H-Hello? Wh-Who’s this?”

“Do you like scary movies?”

“Ha Ha, very f-f-funny. Wh-Who’s th-th-th-this? F-for real.”

“I’m the scary killer outside your window…”

“Oh s-s-sure. I b-bet,” sarcasm and annoyance dripping from your words, “Quit b-being a creep R-R-Randy.”

“It’s not Randy. That your boyfriend?”

At that comment, you started to get an idea of who your mysterious caller was, but decided to play along. “N-Nah, b-b-but I d-do h-have one.”

“Oh yeah,” the voice giggled, “And what’s he like? Bet he wouldn’t like you talkin’ to lil ole me.”

“P-p-probably n-not, b-b-but he’s not h-here. And you h-h-haven’t h-hung up.”

There was a pause on the other end, then a huff. “You never answered my first question.”

“Oh? Th-that th-thing ab-b-bout s-scary movies? Yeah, I l-l-like ‘em”

“What’s your favorite scary movie?”

You hesitate for a second, while it would be fun to keep this going, you feel like upping the ante a bit. “I d-d-don’t know. H-How ab-b-bout you c-come up h-here and w-w-watch o-one w-with me?”

“What about your boyfriend?”

“C-C-Come on M-Mister K-K-Killer, h-he c-can join. I th-th-think you kn-know w-where t-to find h-him.”

You heard a shuffling on the other end and then the call abruptly ended. You sat in silence for a moment, curious about what would happen next. A familiar rapping sound came from outside your window. You pulled back the curtain, revealing your boyfriend standing there with his signature goofy grin plastered across his face. Through the glass you hear the voice you’d missed, “Wanna let me in?”

Bubba:

The Sawyer home was unusually quiet right now. With Drayton out at the gas station and his other brother doing god-knows-what, just you Bubba and Grandpa were left at the house. With Bubba working downstairs, you had been left to your own devices. Though you didn’t mind some alone time, it was odd that you hadn’t really seem hide-nor-hair of your beau lately. Though that seemed like it would be changing pretty soon, as you heard the large metal door to the kitchen slam. You turned to see Bubba coming towards you, happily clutching something in his hands.

“W-W-What’ve you g-got there B-Bubba?” He excitedly shoved the object, which you know could tell was a book, into your hands. “Where the Sidewalk Ends” the cover read, with a drawing of two children looking over what looked like the edge of a cliff. You flipped through it, and it appeared to be a collection of poems cute illustrations to go with them. You turned back at your love, who was watching you eagerly, seemingly trying to figure out your reaction.

“It s-seems like a v-very n-nice b-b-book H-Honey. Th-th-thank you.”  His brow seemed to furrow underneath his mask and he poked the book more insistently. You cocked your head in confusion, “I’m af-f-fraid I d-don’t get w-what your s-s-saying.” He opened the book and a warbling hum came from him as he pointed from the words to you.

“You w-w-want m-me to r-r-read it? Out l-loud?” He squealed happily and nodded. “ Are y-you s-s-sure? B-B-But W-what ab-bout th-the way I t-talk?” He nodded again and pulled you into his lap on the couch. He hugged you tightly around the waist, resting his head on your shoulder as he looked down at the book. You laughed softly about his enthusiasm, “Alr-right…I-Invitation…If y-you are a dreamer c-c-come in. If y-you are a dreamer, a w-wisher, a liar. C-Come in….

Chop-Top:

The whole Sawyer house was very much relieved today. It had been awhile since anyone had driven by and food was running kinda low, making everyone a bit on edge and touchy. Luckily, a whole van of people stopped by last night and were quickly dispatched, meaning everyone would get to eat. Your boyfriend’s brothers were currently preparing and cooking the meat, while your boyfriend looted and organized the belongings of the now-cattle.

“Y/N! C-Come in here and take a look at this!” your boyfriend hollered from the other side of the house. This was somewhat ominous as you never could tell what he was going to show you when he got excited like this. His tone of voice when showing you a neat bug was the same when he was propping up and goofing off with a corpse. You walked in and he was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by a mess of objects scattered around him. On him was the ugliest shirt you had ever seen. It looked like bowling alley carpet had a love child with a kid’s drawing of what a Hawaiian shirt was supposed to look like. It physically hurt your eyes a bit to look at it. “Check out th-these digs babe!” he crowed.

“W-Wow…th-that s-sure is…c-c-copacetic.”

“I know r-right!” He turned back to admire himself in the dirty wall mirror, “T-Totally far-r out!

You hid a grin behind your hand, “You’re one sh-shagad-d-delic c-cat.”

He whipped back around to face you, beaming ear to ear, “Awww sh-shucks,” he wadded his way through the mess over to you, throwing his boney arms around you waist. “You’re pretty b-bitchin’ your-yourself,” he crooned, pressing a sloppy and slightly gross kiss on your cheek. Maybe you could get used to the shirt…

Norman Bates:

There was a record playing in the main lobby of the motel when your returned from tidying one of the cabins. As you stepped in farther, you could make out your sweetheart’s voice singing along softly. Curiosity drew you closer and you watched from the doorway as he folded laundry. His voice was as sweet and smooth as honey and the melody seemed to drip into you, wrapping around and warming your heart.

“It takes a lot of sunshine…To make a s-summer day…But just a little love…Can go a long, long way…”

You wolf-whistled, and he whipped around to face you, dropping the shirt he was holding. “Oh dear, I, um, well, you, w-weren’t supposed, to, er, see t-that.”

You moved towards him, picking up the shirt from the floor and returning it to him. “Y-You s-s-sing b-beautifully you kn-know.”

His eyes flicked back to meet your’s, “R-Really, I, well, I just never, s-sing in front of anyone…”

You smiled, looking up at him with faux innocence, “H-How does th-this one g-g-go again? So i-i-i-incid-dentally…”

He gulped, “Um, Treat love g-gently…”

“W-When it c-c-comes in view…”

“It-It could even, even happen to…”

You both joined in for the last line, “S-someone l-l-like you…”

As the song played on in the background you realized how close the two of you had gotten. You both blushed and turned away slightly, but neither of you could hide the blush or grins painted across your faces.

Beauty & the Beast

A/N: so remember when i mentioned rereading the Lunar Chronicles and got inspired to write fairy tale aus for wanna one. well, here’s the first installment of  the “Happily Ever After” series!

Pairing: Wanna One’s Daehwi x Reader

Genre: fairy tale!au, fluff, slight violence

Warnings: slight violence

Everyone in the city knew of Lee Daehwi, probably the prettiest boy to have ever graced the Earth

Just a sweet boy who works in his family’s flower shop

Always has a different flower tucked in his lil shirt pocket depending on the mood

One time he had the flower tucked behind his ear and everyone just cooed bc wow what a cutie

On the other hand, there was you, probably the most infamous underground fighter in the city

You pretty much spent your days at the gym, punching away at the worn bag

Sometimes people will catch you at the rundown auto shop, grease streaked across your cheeks and sweat staining the neck of your white tank

The best part is the tattoo that’s on your right bicep of a wolf entirely done in lineart

Half the city gets scared when they catch a glimpse of it, but it’s aite, as long as they don’t bug you too much

Cut back to Daehwi watering the daffodils on display in the window as he hums to himself (probably a blackpink song lol)

Anyways it’s getting close to closing time, so Daehwi does one last check around the shop before he hears the front doorbell chime

And ta-dah, he finds himself face to face with Daniel

“Uh, hyung what are you doing here?”

“Can I borrow a couple hundred?”

“Flowers? Well-”

“Dollars, Daehwi, dollars”

Turns out Daniel owed you hella money bc you fixed his motorbike for him, and if he doesn’t cough up the sum you’re kicking his ass

Daniel prefers his ass not kicked btw, and Daehwi was the only one out of his friends with a stable job lmao

“I don’t have a couple hundred dollars to lend out, but let me talk to this person”

“Daehwi,,,,,,they’ll actually break you”

“Nothing a little diplomacy doesn’t fix, c’mon, show me where this repair shop is”

Daehwi finds himself standing in the side of town his parents specifically told him not to venture into

Your co-workers stood out in front of the shop, leaning against the walls, smoking cigarettes while conversing in hushed whispers (they were both expecting fathers and exchanging tips to each other)

Daniel was practically shaking in his shoes while Daehwi strode right into the shop

“Is Y/N here?”

“Alpha? They’re in the ring tonight”

“The ring?”

“Go right from the shop and cut into the alleyway. There are stairs that will take you straight to it.”

Yeah, Daniel was scared shitless at this point, and Daehwi was intimidated too, but hey, someone’s gotta talk this whole cash owing thing out

So the two boys go down to the ring and they find themselves standing behind a crowd of people surrounding the ring, shouting and cheering, waving dollar bills in the air as they placed bets

Daehwi starts looking around

“Hey Daniel, what does Y/N look like?”

“Scary, just really scary”

“,,,,,,,,like, any other descriptions?”

“Uh, they have a wolf tattoo on their arm”

Daehwi continues dragging Daniel through the crowd trying to find this infamous Y/N until suddenly the entire crowd still

He looked up at the center of the room and finally noticed the boxing ring that stood in the middle of the room

“What’s going on?”

“The fight’s about to start”

And that was when you stepped up into the ring, your face stony and cold

A shiver ran through Daehwi’s spine when he saw how apathetic you were

The crowd cheered for you, their screaming becoming louder when you took your hoodie off to reveal your tattoo

The fight starts and quickly in you got a punch in, quickly bouncing back and ducking under your opponent’s swing

You swipe your leg under their feet to trip them, and once they fell, you pounced

Daehwi watches in horror and turns to Daniel

“You owe that monster money?????”

“Y/N? Yeah, you understand why I needed to borrow some cash?”

Your swings became even more rapid, but your face remained apathetic

When you were sure they weren’t coming back up, you got off of them, and faced the crowd and raised your bloodied fist in victory

Quickly the crowd cheered, at least, the ones that betted your victory

You left your unconscious opponent in the ring and left for the locker room

Daehwi saw this chance and quickly shook his head, trying to lessen his fear

“Let’s go, Daniel, before we lose them”

The two of them wove through the crowd and followed you into the locker room

“You’re not allowed in here” you said apathetically, not even sparing the two boys a glance

Daehwi took in a deep breath before speaking

“My friend here owes you money, but he can’t pay you back right away, is it possible he-”

“If he can’t pay me back, he shouldn’t have brought the bike in”

“Yeah but-”

“He still needs to pay me back”

“Well-”

“Labor it is”

It was Daniel’s time to speak up 

W-wait a minute, I already have a job, I can’t just-”

You finally turned to glance at the two boys

“Not my problem, you still owe me $300″

Daehwi glanced at Daniel worriedly and then chimed in

“What if, what if I worked off his debt?”

You looked over at him

“You’re not the one who owes me $300″

“Well, yeah, but I only work at my family’s flower shop, and that’s not even a job, so I can work for you for however long until Daniel’s debt is paid”

“Why would you do that?”

“Because he’s my friend”

And tbh you couldn’t argue with the guy since he already made up his mind, so you just shrugged

That’s how Daehwi ended being your little runner

He pretty much was in charge of running out and buying stuff you needed, like equipment for the bike you were working on or antiseptic for the cut on your cheek, normal stuff

Like, for a whole month you barely acknowledged his existence, only giving him a nod or a hum or a request, nothing more, nothing less

Well, that’s gonna change soon

Bc one night when he was out buying you some food since you were working late in the shop, some asshat you beat up last week in the ring decided to hassle him a bit

“Hey, you’re Alpha’s pet aren’t you?”

“I’m their assistant”

Daehwi quicken his pace a bit, but the guy grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall

“Alpha’s not gonna like it much if his pet’s a little damaged,” the guy taunted, pulling his fist back

Daehwi quickly shut his eyes and after a couple seconds, he realized the fist never came

He opened his eyes to find you standing behind the dude holding his fist and,,,,,,,,,,Daehwi’s hella lucky he’s not that guy right now bc wow, you look like you want to kill him

Which you didn’t do, you just beat the living shit out of him and left the guy propped up against the wall

Daehwi trailed after you, the bag of food, now cold, in his hand

And tbh his heart kinda fluttered a bit knowing you beat up that guy for him, but it’s probably just because he’s your runner, nothing important

lmao jokes on you daehwi

And his unspoken question kinda just hangs in the air

Why?

“Did you get my food?”

Daehwi blinked at your back for a second before handing you the bag

You looked in and smiled, like genuinely smiled and wow Daehwi felt his heart skip agAIN

Bc who knew the scariest underground fighter in all of the city had the cutest smile on earth?

“Sweet, they gave me an extra fortune cookie”

And tbh after that night, things got a little bit more comfortable between the two of you

Like, the whole reason as to why you never really interacted much with Daehwi was bc he was so pretty you couldn’t say anything substantial without being flustered 

Every time he asked you about your day, you could practically feel your cheeks reddening

Or the one time he smiled at you and gave you a thumbs up after another victory, you swore you felt your heart race

But, you’re awkward, and you knew your reputation in the city, no way Daehwi would see you as anything other than an underground fighter, a monster

Yet, the walls you placed around yourself started to crumble a bit around the edges

Especially one day when you decided

“I’m teaching you how to fight”

Daehwi’s eyes widened like saucers

“Why?”

“Bc the next time some punk decides to mess with you, I might not be there”

Wow, another heart fluttering moment for Daehwi

You take him down to the little gym nearby, giving a little nod to the other people there at the odd hour of the night

Daehwi just trails after you and ends up finding himself standing in front of a punching bag

“Throw your best punch”

Daehwi looks at you incredulously before pulling his fist back and swinging at the bag,,,,,only for you to let out a little chuckle at how weak it was

His cheeks flushed, half from embarrassment and the other half from hOW CUTE THAT CHUCKLE WAS

 You take his hand into yours (the two of you are blushing so hard jfc)

“Here, fold your hand like this,”

You then guide his fist back

“And swing like this”

Daehwi could practically hear his heart pounding in his ear

Once his hand made contact with the punching bag, you realized exactly how close in proximity the two of you were

You quickly pulled away and cleared your throat

“Yeah, just practice, I’ll show you which places to aim for once your punch gets better”

And it became a little routine, after you finish work in the shop and you didn’t have a match, you take Daehwi to the gym and afterwards you buy him ice cream

His smile every time you present him with the vanilla cone just makes your cheeks heat up, and eventually one night Daehwi just

“Hey, Y/N, I like you”

You almost spat out your ice cream

“W-wh- are you sure?”

“Mhm”

“But, why? I beat up people for a living. I scare the living shit out of half the city, and you only hang out with me to pay off your friend’s debt, which by the way, is paid off.”

You awkwardly sat there next there next to Daehwi, letting your ice cream dip onto the pavement

“Because you’re cute.”

Yeah, you dropped your cone at this point

“Even though you seem scary at first, you’re actually really cute. Your laugh and smile make my insides warm. You’re really patient when teaching me. You’re also very protective of me, and you buy me ice cream often. Plus,”

“Plus?”

“I want to know more about you, because you’re so much more than a scary underground fighter. You’re so much more than Alpha; you’re Y/N”

And like wow bc who knew he’d see you that way????

You were so used to being looked at with fear and disdain that at this moment the way he was looking at you, his eyes wide and looking at you with such open warmth

And he kind of just takes your hand into his and pulls out a napkin and wipes at the sticky mess your ice cream cone left

“I like you too” you whisper, and the smile that Daehwi sends you is just blinding

After that night the two of you embarked on a very awkward relationship

Daehwi no longer had to run errands for you, but he still finds himself stopping by the shop to bring you snacks

And one time you decided to take him out on an actual date, granted it was just a walk around the park at night but it was a date

But during the date when Daehwi grabbed your hand you just flushed

Like your face was as red as a strawberry 

It got even redder when Daehwi coo’d over your cuteness

And eventually one day, Daehwi dragged you out of the gym and took you to his family’s flower shop

“Here, I want to give you this”

You take the flower from Daehwi’s hand and admired its beauty

“What is it?”

“An amaryllis”

“What does it mean?”

“Worth beyond beauty, like you”

“W-what do you mean?”

Yeah, you were a blushy mess aGAIN

“Even though people say you’re scary and all that, you’re more than what you look like. You’re strong, and kind, and loyal, and that’s why I like you.”

Daehwi was shOOKTH when you marched up to him and planted a kiss

But it was cute bc it was a soft kiss, something innocent, the two of you fumbling, trying to figure out what to do with your hands

And when you pulled away, you kissed the tip of his nose

“I like you too”

And the two of you dating is just the cutest

Like hot cocoa dates are a must bc despite your scary appearance, you had the biggest sweet tooth and Daehwi loves giggling whenever you get a little whipped cream mustache

He still goes to the gym to practice his punch and for your anniversary he shows you his improvement and pretty much basked in your praise

Also, you still fight, but this time Daehwi comes with this huGE POSTER GLITTER AND EVERYTHING CHEERING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS

And whenever you fight, he gives you a little good luck forehead kiss, so your win streak is onto like 7 and counting

You also get a kiss and an ice cream cone after every victory so you wIN ALL THE TIME

Plus, whenever you get a busted lip or a bruised eye, Daehwi just runs around the locker room trying to collect together an ice pack and some antiseptic and he’s a mess

But it’s cute and you smile when he runs some cream over your lip bc it’s busted and he blushes af when you kiss his fingertips

Y’all just the softest okay? 

Who knew the beauty and the beast would be so cute?

I did that’s who

Albums I Loved This Month — April 2019

As a reminder, I've begun keeping an ongoing Spotify playlist compiling a selection from everything in these posts! I also threw together some more single-artist playlists for particular faves and toggled the existing one I had to public, more for my own "well I'm in this kind of mood today" purposes but please, feel free to enjoy.

Some other music-related highlights this month:

Saw Thank You Scientist live! It was amazing, show was small but the energy was fantastic. I was right up at the stage, too, posted a few photos on twitter and insta but never did get around to it here, I should. Intended to throw together a playlist of the setlist afterwards but it ended up being like half stuff from their upcoming album and thus not available yet; if you don't see Terraformer here in two months though, something has gone horribly wrong.

Openers for TYS were also both decent; even if their actual music doesn't quite click with me like I want it to, In the Presence of Wolves go amazingly hard, and I discovered later, their insta might be worth following entirely for its own sake. (I'm increasingly convinced that every band ever are huge doofuses and I love it.) Kindo have a real jazzy sound that suits me better than I'd expect but their lead singer looks uncannily like an ex so I kind of hate that I like it? I don't think they quite rate the monthly list but I'd say they're worth a check out (both these bands!).

After seeing video of some studio sets from some bands I'm into I started occasionally throwing on the web stream for KEXP, radio station out of Seattle, on every so often when I hit decision fatigue for listening choices. Lots of indie and alternative stuff, if you're into much of anything you've seen in my posts you'll probably enjoy their selection. They even have a morning host I genuinely like a ton.

Blue Man Group, The Complex (2003) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

I feel like it's really easy to go "lol look at the guys covered in blue paint" and forget that Blue Man Group is actually a performance act with, like, legit percussion in particular? The couple covers on here are particular highlights (and where I found it from thanks to Spotify's April Fool's Day joke) but the entire thing's pretty solid, especially the couple "rock concert by numbers" bits

Placebo, Covers (2003) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

Okay I'm not sure how much of the fact that I like this is that I actually like this and how much is that it has covers of the Pixies, Depeche Mode, and one of the couple Kate Bush songs I always kinda liked? On the other hand, doing a cover I don't like of a song I do is a real quick way to turn me off (hell, as much as I love OK Go, I cannot even with their cover of TMBG's "Letterbox"), so I guess I really am into this in and of itself and I should probably check out some of their own stuff.

ALSO WAIT A SECOND I ONLY JUST REALIZED THAT DJ OZMA'S "AGE AGE EVERY KNIGHT" TAKES THE MAIN RIFF FROM "DADDY COOL".

The Ting Tings, We Started Nothing (2008) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

Okay why is "That's Not My Name", decent as it may be, the track that was basically everywhere when "Fruit Machine" exists and kicks ass? (Maybe it was big too at the time, I had no idea this album's from over a decade ago.) But anyway, you've probably already heard one or both of "That's Not My Name" or "Shut Up and Let Me Go"; most of the rest of it's got that same sort of sound, but it's a solid sound

Johnny Foreigner, Waited Up 'Til It Was Light (2008) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

In sort of the same vein, loud sorta punk-y some such. Man I dunno, genres are hard. I just know it's fun.

Juliette & the Licks, Four on the Floor (2006) [Spotify]

Sometimes when actors try to do a music it's nooooooot good.

This is extremely not one of those times. Pretty straightforward high-energy rock. Apparently they're back working on new music after a breakup/long hiatus? I'll have to look forward to it.

Patrick Wolf, The Bachelor (2011) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

Yessssssss gimme that baroque pop full of strings but also with just some techno-y stuff in there too.

FFS, FFS (2015) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

First things first: let's take "So Desu Ne" and excise it from the universe, it makes me cringe. Past that, I'm not familiar with the the other half of this supergroup, but it definitely does have a fair bit of Franz Ferdinand's sound which I've always been consistently into even if nothing since has grabbed me quite as much as their first did. Plus some weird. (Also it turns out apparently Alex Kapranos's voice is one I can just identify immediately?)

Perfume, Level3 (2013) [Youtube] - [Spotify]

I finally took a page from my own friends and started listening to more than the 2.5 songs I'd previously heard from friends of my faves, our queens of synthpop, come from the future to bless us. (Honestly, honestly, I think their voices might be a little too "cute" sometimes for my own specific taste, but the arrangements and such keep the whole thing from turning completely saccharine and really I'm into the end result, which is what matters.)
