Heartstopper appreciation week - [Day 4 -> Favourite moment(S) from s1]

It’s time to spread holiday hatred:

Type 1: I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas song

Type 2: The Christmas Shoes

Type 3: all the bad religious songs, especially the terrible hymns that are just demanding you worship Jesus again and again, alas!

Type 4: Santa Buddy, and other more forgettable covers

Type 5: “As Long as There’s Christmas” from Beauty and the Beast: Belle’s Enchanted Christmas, the many bland songs from many bland low-budget musical adaptations of A Christmas Carol, etc etc

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

knowing that he is a middle-aged man with three grown children is the funniest shit in the world and also recontextualizes his character really well. like, no wonder he's the way he is. he's the oldest one in the party if you adjust for lifespans/age of maturity! everyone sees him and thinks he's a kid, meanwhile from his perspective the rest of them are children that he's just trying to keep ALIVE

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I think he's bisexual in a "has never thought about it and doesn't put a label on it" kind of way. one of his daughters is like "dad have you ever kissed a man" and he's like "well sure" and then refuses to elaborate. prying personal information out of him is like pulling teeth already, so I doubt the rest of the party would ever learn this, but I'm sure marcille would lose her fucking mind about it. chilchuck doesn't think it's that big a deal, he's just like "yeah I find men attractive, doesn't everybody?" but also he refuses to mention this to anyone because that is his personal business and he's abiding by professional courtesy

for the record whichever one wins I'm gonna do some ask games for to try and get myself back into creative mode on something.

a brief blurb on each, for context:

crosscountry apocalypse: the world Stops. Dany (not her real name) is trying to get to her family. instead (or maybe as well) she gets a traveling companion named Robin. neither of them knows what they're doing but at least Dany can act like she does. they're both scared. over the course of a year, they grow closer and learn to trust and find purpose in a world that's so much quieter than the one they know and so much more dangerous. all things end or stop. some things have to keep going too.

a tale of two Marjories: two cousins who share the same name meet up annually during family reunions at an ancestral lakehouse for most of their lives. this story covers their final summer together as they learn to grow up and let go and keep their heads above water through change and trials and pain.

untitled wedding story: a multicultural family tries to navigate cultural and interpersonal tensions while preparing for the marriage of one of their daughters. Hailey, the older sister of the bride to be, is trying to figure out the trajectory her life should take as both her siblings seem to already know, so she takes up the role of Wedding Planner(TM). as the two vastly different sides of the family butt heads and tension builds as more guests arrive, the wedding itself may be the most normal part of the situation.

eldritch places: a post-grad enviromental sciences student (is that even a thing?) is tapped by a shadowy government organization to take part in a remote research project inside the enormous sarcophagus hiding a mysterious island from the world. along with her handler/research partner, Tom, Olive will experience things she's never even conceived of being afraid of. the epic highs and lows of noneuclidean research, as it were. at least she's not alone.

So if there’s anything to take away from Bowser’s Inside Story it’s the lesson that the size disparity we see between different iterations of Bowser are caused by Near Death Experiences, and the following adrenaline rush

This can be seen directly in Super Mario Bros Wii, where after dunking Bowser into the lava in typical Mario Bros fashion, he comes back a solid 5 times his size. Not the biggest we’ve seen him, but still.

This then implies before games like Mario Galaxy and Bowser’s Fury something aside from Mario nearly killed Bowser, sending him into these adrenaline filled, power hungry rages.

This has the biggest implications, to me personally, for Mario Sunshine, the first game Bowser Jr makes his appearance, and the only time we see Bowser in his massive form not in a state of all out attack. He’s actually rather calm, and has his most iconic show of emotion to date. 

Am I going somewhere with all of this? No not really, I’m just thinking about it and wanna share where my brain is currently.

Literary devices, how I adore you... allusion, colloquialism, alliteration, metaphor, simile, juxtaposition (!!!!!!!), anntithesis, foreshadowing, imagery, symbolism, personification, irony, hyperbole???? All amazing.

objectively the funniest part of my tpn obsession is the way i repeatedly told my bf “i don’t want to watch that anime it looks sad i can just tell” and then Netflix started playing the first episode anyway

Postal 3 Dude has no right being so attractive. He makes all the other Dudes jealous.

Postal 3 Dude IS insanely attractive indeed, sadly he is no match for the unhibited sex appeal of this ugly bitch

Do you have a favourite cheese?

asking this question to a French person is risky because we usually love all the cheese and I'm no different 🥲

5 Drinks to Get to Know Me

Tagged by my cocktail gurlie @iamskyereads! I still haven't been back to that bar where we talked the bartender's ear off making our Pedro boy drink headcanons, but that night was epic!

For the funsies, I'm doing 5 non-alcoholic and 5 alcoholic because I can't possibly mix them!

The dependables:

Water - it's boring, but I drink it more than most other liquids so it's gotta go on. Tap preferably, sometimes sparkling, not a fan of bottled actually!

Coffee - every morning! Normally drip coffee with skim milk, but if I'm out getting one at a nice place, an americano (and if it's a place that roasts its beans very dark, a little sugar to even out the acidity). If I can have it with a glass of sparkling water and a dark chocolate square I'm in heaven.

Tea - iced or hot, I love a tea. My favorites are Yunnan, Earl Gray, Mariage Freres Marco Polo, and Red Rose decaf if it's too late in the day (caffeine after 6pm gives me night terrors)

Sprite - my go-to fast food drink. Most sodas are too sugary for me, but I can sip a Sprite with some french fries and love it.

Lychee boba tea - I rarely get my hands on boba, but I have been craving it and there was a great place I used to go to that made lychee boba tea and I gladly paid $6 for it.

The party babes:

Vesper martini - it's so refreshingly citrusy and light, perfect amount of sweetness and dryness. I do not shake it however, Bond likes a weak martini.

Dirty martini - as many olives as I can fit into the glass. Skye, you'll be happy to know I've been upgrading to gin more often and as long as it's still nice and dry I'm into it!

Old fashioned - I used to only have it with bourbon, but I've been branching out and trying some new whiskeys. Perfect at the end of the day.

Boulevardier/Negroni - depending on what I'm in the mood for, I'll make either (gin or whiskey as the base), though it's more of a before-dinner drink for me.

Hemingway Daquiri - I used to live and breathe these at the wine bar near me, but it's been a hot minute since I've had one. I love them every time though! It's the only time I drink rum anymore after those good ol' college days.
