I dunno when you're gonna see this but take your time. I just wanted to know your opinion on the musical and if you had to pick a favorite NEW character, who would it be?

Ohhh lord. I’m preemptively sorry for all this. 

  So I haven’t seen the musical, and honestly I don’t plan to. I’m not much of a musical person in general. There’s definitely a place for them, but yk, I’m just not that into theatrical, over the top, song-filled ways of tellin stories…I may be in the school play now, but I’m a movie guy not a theater kid 🥲

  Aside from that (probably small-minded) preference, according to what I’ve picked up from y’all, the musical apparently has done a lotta things with the plot/characters that I’m just not into. I guess I just am not a big fan of the musical’s changes. I understand that it's a different medium, and lets be real I know nothing about musicals, so I’m sure the changes make sense in context, but I dunno…it just feels so different to me, enough so that I’m just not interested in it. Plus I’ve tried listening to the music n I just don’t vibe w/ most of it. 

  >>BUT I did hear the Little Brother song (Daryl Tofa cover I think) tho and that one went pretty damn hard ngl. I do not like the Johnny/Dally lil brother thing, but BOY that song was AMAZING. Really dug it. Very emotional, in a way where I could really feel it. That doesn’t happen to me very often lol.

  Idk tho aside from that I tend to refrain from commenting on the musical because I don’t have a lotta good to say about it, and I just don’t feel like it’s necessary for me to talk about something a bunch of folks like if I’m just gonna be bitchy lol. (Which is why I’m gonna tag this post very minimally lol 😭) Gah idk. Steve Randle and Randy Adderson deserved better. 

More bitchin under the cut, because I have some very silly nitpicks that I know aren’t a big deal, but I keep seeing these things around and they irritate me personally. For stupid personal reasons. It’s totally ok to dig these things/characters I’m just a hater at heart lol. So yk don’t hit the read more if ya don’t wanna see me bein a whiny, petty jerk abt things ya probably like 😭😭

  BEFORE that tho, some things I do like about the musical:

-Marcia looks perfect, no notes. Musical Marcia rocks

-Musical Cherry is also cool, n I dig her fit

-Daryl Tofa seems awesome. I like his Two-Bit, I like his Dally, I like him. I know next to nothing about him, but he was a fantastic casting choice imo. Two-Bit is still Emilio Estevez to me, but Daryl Tofa’s Two-Bit is pretty much perfect too

-Johnny’s fit is cool

-I like that the cast seems to like Marbit :)) 

-The way the cast posts things/interacts w/ the fandom is very endearing :)) I may not give a damn abt any of them really, but it’s fun seein’ y’all freak out abt it. Feels like watching a party from the sidelines in a good way- like I may not understand, but it’s charming and fun to see y’all happy ‘bout it 

-Soda’s actor quoted the “People who stay and people who leave” thing, so I don’t even care much that he’s not how I picture Soda- like he clearly gets Soda n that’s pretty cool

Ok time for the whining

-“Chet” is the name my folks used to say they were naming me before I was born, because they thought it was an awful name and they thought it was funny seeing folks’ reactions. So I’m pretty primed to dislike him by name alone.

-Chet/Soda annoys me, Soda has Steve he doesn’t need some Soc jerk. Y’all have Parry for ur homoerotic Soc x greaser stuff, don’t kill Stevepop man

-Cherrycola is just Marbit but blander 😭

-I also am not fond of cutting Randy?? Like why tf did they cut Randy Adderson?? I liked him a lot in the book/movie, and he really added a lot to the plot in my opinion…But idk, whatever…

-“Trip”- shut up, just LET HIM BE RANDY, HOLY HELL! he could be played COMPLETELY THE SAME just CALL HIM RANDY and I’ll stop being mad about it :,)

-the Dally/Johnny little brother thing…it’s a take, but it’s the most boring take for their characters ever, and I just despise that view of Johnny. Idk if I were him I’d be so pissed, having a friend who’s just a year older than me callin’ me “little brother”. But that’s just me! I definitely see why folks dig it, it’s just not my thing.

-I am probably also personally resentful towards the musical because I couldn’t afford to see it this summer, which just felt very ironic considering the themes about class divide and all. Like great, y’all have fun spending a crap ton of money on a musical about greasers. I’ll spend mine on gas for my car. And food. Whatever. I was in NY this summer too, so Broadway Outsiders straight up haunted me. There were brochures for it in the hotel. We walked past the Jacobs Theater a bunch on the way to restaurants and stuff. The ad for it is in the background of all my selfies in Times Square… Aughhhh I’m bein such a bitch about it ik ik it’s so unfair and so stupidly petty for me to be so irritated about it. I know. I can’t help it. Sue me, I’m not a logical man.

-I do NOT care about Paul. But there’s more like…tension w/ Paul in the musical, so obviously everyone’s latched onto him + Darry. Fine. I just really really don’t care about him, and seeing something I don’t care about constantly is turning neutrality into disdain…which is again such a me problem n I needa just get over it lol. I won’t though. I wish I could.

-Not into the way Dally dies in the musical. It is cool, don’t get me wrong, I love me a good train, but something about the way he died in the book/movie felt more like Dally to me. Idk. There was more plausible deniability or something, like Dally could convince himself he was going down fighting instead of “giving up”. (Kinda crass ik but…so is Dally, man)

-The Socs annoy me. That is so hypocritical since one of my favorite characters is Steve Randle. I know it. I swear I do. But ughhhh I just don’t like hearing about them…I’m so sorry

-Soda shouldn’t be that buff man he really shouldn’t. Also feel like he should be prettier. Jason’s good looking, but not in a very “sensitive” way…TO ME! And that is ridiculously unfair of me lol. Idk Rob Lowe’s Soda is irreplaceable to me I think (I can’t help it he’s my gay awakening) (/J/J/J ISTG)

-I miss Steve’s vest man, it was so tuff. The way it’s cropped in the movie to meet the waistband of his jeans?? The way the collar’s popped?? The fit w/ the tank top underneath?? Genuinely the height of coolness to me. I had a denim vest before watching Outsiders, but after watching it I bought one in the same brand as Steve’s because the fit was so fire man (n it does fit better than my old one lol. IDK what it is abt Lee’s denim, but their jacket makes my shoulders + waist look so much better than my old jacket it’s great) tl;dr I miss Steve’s vest it was my fav Outsiders character

-I don’t r e a l l y care much about Ace…I mean she’s ok, and she does look very cool, but I just wish we were clearer on her…role in the gang, I guess? I dunno (maybe if she was Two’s lil sister it wouldn’t bug me? Like cos he canonically has a little sister?? Or if she was like…Sylvia or smth… but nah she occupies an entirely different role so idk how to feel abt that)

-I don’t like that Steve “travelled here w/ Dally”. Steve is SODA’S BEST FRIEND! THAT’S HIS WHOLE ROLE!

-They shoulda casted me. Look I may not like musicals but I can sing GREAT and it’s frankly appalling that there’s a modern Outsiders adaptation and I don’t get to be part of it. Smh. I’d be a great Steve. I coulda been Steve. Plus I’m Asian so yk. Diversity. (I’m a minor they could not and would not cast me lol this one’s a joke)

-I don’t love the Pony n Johnny as best friends take. I think they became close because of Windrixville, which is just another thing that adds to the tragedy of Johnny dying. That’s a nitpick tho again. It’s not that big a deal :,)

Augh so ik I needa just cope with all of this but y’know…you asked… :,)

Sorry again for all this lol 😭

[nemaliwrites]

is nemali playing this... top five things or types of things that inspire your writing...

omg..sunny in my inbox......i feel like i've gone fishing and caught a mystical sea creature in my net

ooh fun question! let's see.....

my friends! my mutuals! my brothers in arms (fandom)! i love seeing the people around me be creative, and seeing them play in the same sandbox as me fires up my own creativity in a way that nothing else seems to do! love seeing my friends have fun! reminds me that i can have fun with my work too!

books! i love words. love to chew on them like a pack of gum. and all of the AUs i've written abt my favorite books (and the thousand more in my ideas file) is proof of that i think hehe. i love returning to books when i'm feeling particularly blocked (like.....recently :///). seeing people play with words and language and character and plot makes my brain go !!! you can do that too!

movies! i am a strange bean who prefers movies to tv shows - partly because i hate when a show i like goes in a direction i dislike. and also movies are so analogous to books in a way i really enjoy. there's something really satisfying about just getting hit with a single story in one sitting. characters that you follow for a bit, and then can part ways with. it helps with pacing, and also i think a lot of movies have the room to be experimental in a way tv shows don't usually. goes back to that one thing i talked about that one time with telling the same story in different mediums. there's a lot of techniques that work in visual media but not in written - super fascinating to me to try and understand why that is.

poems! returning to language at its most artistic. divorcing it from all the other aspects of storytelling and understanding the musicality of it! i need to read more poetry......

songs! this one is low on the list bc i do have a lot of ideas inspired by songs, but i haven't quite yet figured out how to convert those into writing. mostly they're just..vibes sitting there in my doc taunting me. haunting me. really, what is the difference?

thank you for the ask sunny i lov u!!!

Types of Adaptations

--according to me <3

I've recently been reading the original books for a lot of movies/shows I've previously enjoyed, and it's got me thinking a lot abt adaptations, and what works or doesn't for me. I think there's more to adaptation than just being "good/bad" or even just being "faithful" to the original content or not, and I kinda wanna throw my thoughts out to see what ppl think

anyways, adaptation types:

extremely faithful adaptations that skillfully utilize a new medium to share and even enhance the original content: Mob Psycho 100 anime

adaptations that actively improve/fix the original story. the fans behind these projects clearly understand the original, and know exactly what needs to be changed to complete the original work: Death Note the Musical

adaptations that unfortunately had to cut a lot, but what's there is very faithful. you can tell they did their best within the set time/money limit: Watership Down '78

adaptations that are largely textually faithful (for the most part), but approach the tones/themes in slightly different ways from the original. it's like hearing the same story from a new narrator-- the beats are the same, but what/how the narrator chooses to emphasize changes how it hits: Howl's Moving Castle movie

adaptations that aren't necessarily textually faithful, but maintain a similar thematic tone to the original, despite taking it in a new direction. some ppl may not appreciate an "unfaithful" adaption strategy no matter the quality, while others may appreciate these adaptations as familiar but ultimately new stories: Haunting of Hill House tv show, Annihilation movie

adaptations that went completely off the rails from the original. they're so different that it's difficult to grade their quality as anything but their own stand-alone story-- "faithful" is no longer a useful critique strategy here (though fans of the originals may have appreciated a different title, at the very least): FMA '03, HTTYD movies

adaptations that are largely textually faithful on some level, but change enough small details that shift the underlying context/themes in irrevocable, adverse ways: Fried Green Tomatoes movie

adaptations that attempt to "modernize" the original for the present audience, but end up sanitizing/simplifying the characters/themes into flattened, overused tropes instead: Trigun Stampede, Devilman Crybaby

adaptations that add unnecessary, unwanted content that actively degrades the original story: Arrival movie (adapted from Ted Chiang's "The Story of Your Life"), The Lorax movie

just had a conversation with my friend after she finished reading daisy jones (she watched the show then read it, i read it about a year or 2 ago and have yet to see the show) and i want to share

to me, a major theme of the story was how little we know abt the characters. how the contradictions in the perspectives called into question what else had been fabricated. we are only told what these people are willing to share on record. what they remember from bad periods of their lives where they were almost all on multiple mind altering substances. we only get their recollection of the events tainted by regret, pain, love. for me, this highlighted the scenes where we only get one pov. the overdose, daisy's relationship with her parents, the fights between graham and karen. the singular pov was emphasized by group scenes where everyone had a different recount of the story. i finished the book without knowing the characters. without knowing what version of events really happened. and that felt like the point.

for my friend, the story discussed the intricacies of relationships and how negatively you can affect someone's life. there wasnt the element of ambiguity in what actually happened. in the book you are told their emotions and have to infer the scenes. in the show you are given the scenes and have to infer the emotions.

i think this, in its simplest terms, displays the creative liberties that must be taken depending on the medium utilized to tell stories. in a book, the inner monologue is prominent, describing surroundings and people through the eyes of the pov character. a tv show or movie doesn't have this freedom and, in this case, presents the scene THE way it happened, which, to me at least, removes the key theme of the story.

i might update once ive watched the show, but. if u read this, i am so sorry for rambling lol :)

[watchingwisteria]

(from my original tags on this post) #he hates how she undoes him. he hates that he WOULD run away with her if shed let him keep his secrets#and he HATES more than anything that she makes him WANT to tell his secrets#he wants to be vulnerable and reveal the ugly nasty parts about himself and still be loved#but he does not let himself and it is everyone’s downfall#he chooses cruelty bc it is easy and familiar and makes him feel more powerful than the vulnerable give and take that real love requires

so my original tags passed peer review several times over, and now after almost two months and 10k+ notes i want to rehash my old tags and talk abt why snow doesn’t let himself choose lucy gray, and why suzanne wrote it in the best was possible, and why it’s a tragedy that it could never be pulled off the same way through a visual medium, so if you’ll humor me:

the importance of how this moment is communicated in books is that, in spite of everything, until this moment, there is a very illogical, very tiny bit of hope we can have for snow. idk maybe not everyone had that hope that he would go with lucy gray (like duh, we know who he becomes), but in spite of myself, I definitely remember feeling a bit of hope. because yes, his inner monologue repeatedly proves him to be a self-aggrandizing asshole, and yes, i know what a truly horrible tyrant he is in the trilogy, and yes, i know that’s where all of this is headed, but… who wouldn't take this opportunity? a kid like coriolanus needs a fresh start and real love, the kind lucy gray has extended to him, not the manipulative self-serving relationships he had in the capitol. he hates this vulnerable kind of love but he needs it, he wants it, and it’s right in front of him with nothing stopping him for the first time in the narrative. he has to take it, of course he will take it, even though i know he does not.

the cabin breakdown is the violent snuffing of that illogical hope. the reminder that i was always going to watch him pass every exit to a better life, because he had already learned to prefer power to love. it was always going to end this way— not because he was destined to become president snow like some greek tragedy, but because he had already chosen to become president snow, from the very first chapter. he daydreams about it the entire book! he spends the book figuring out all the right ways to pose himself so that no one can see through his many layered facades! why should it shock me then he would attack shadows in the forest in case it’s lucy? why would i ever hope for a different ending than the one we already know was written?

i think it shocks me because i thought i knew what coriolanus didnt— i knew his fate, but then, so did he; we’re actually on the same page as him that he is president snow. but i thought that multiple other paths were open to him, that any of those paths would have been better than the one he barreled down, and that snow was simply blind to this. but snow wasn’t just pushed onto this path— not just primed to seek power and security at all costs by circumstance, by every authority in his life, by the conditions of the capitol. at some point, snow chose it for himself. at some point, he decided he would do anything to be in control. at some point, no other destiny than the one we already know could have satisfied him.

but the point where he makes this decision for a final time doesn’t come before the narrative ever began, doesn’t precede all his thoughts of becoming president one day that we hear from the beginning of the book. the decisive moment happens at the cabin, in the moment that his flimsy resolve to go with lucy crumbles without her prodding like she does in the movie. she goes to pick katniss, she’s taking a while, and then it all very quickly, very dramatically, falls apart completely inside snow’s head and he charges out of the cabin, gun in hand, ready to unloaded an entire magazine into the trees while spinning wildly hoping to hit her. and as the reader you're just sitting there, jaw dropped, like what the hell just happened?

because for all his talk, for all his delusions of grandeur, for all his climbing and scheming, once snow was shipped out to the districts, he had no idea how he could ever get back to the destiny he had before the games. but sending that tape to gaul was an experiment— testing whether the powers that be had actually cast him off for good. and it turns out, they hadn’t. they were listening. they were paying attention. a life of power was suddenly possible again, and maybe, just maybe, he would not have to settle for love, wouldn’t have to lower himself to vulnerability and openness.

and so lucy gray, for all her charms, for all her offer of perfect break with his past, is now not just a loose end in his crimes, but an obstacle to getting back to that life of power that it is utterly ingrained in him to prefer. if he can just prove to himself that maybe this was never even an option… and, well, who was he kidding? of course she wasnt just going to pick katniss; of course she was leaving him behind; of course she never intended to bring him along. what a fool she’s played him for—of course he never had any other destiny than the one his life in the capitol had laid out for him. this quaint little backwoods life was never an option. she was never an option. he has to get back, back to district 12, back to his base, back in dr. gaul’s good graces, back to the capitol, back to the destiny that was always his, the one that he has fought tooth and nail for, the one he won’t give up now, not for anything, and definitely not for the uncertain future lucy gray seems so content to lead him into.

as he talks to himself in that cabin, he cements his commitment to his imagined destiny, he makes it real and certain in a way in hasn’t been in the narrative so far. because even though we knew who he become, it’s at this moment that we understand that he never could’ve been anyone else, no matter how many other options and exits were presented to him. he could've run away with her! he could've start fresh, turn a new leaf, lead a better life outside panem with lucy gray! but he is so insane with his desperation for security and power that we finally see him as we know him to be in the original trilogy. he casts her off, cuts his last tie to his humanity, passes his final exit sign, and careens toward the end we always knew was coming like a car on black ice. the cabin scene as it’s written in the books is as shocking and impactful as it is because it’s the moment coriolanus becomes snow. it’s the moment he lets his ruthlessness fully take the wheel, the moment we see he is willing to choose the unfeeling, cold, and calculated cruelty we are so familiar with from the trilogy without anyone having demanded it from him. it arises from within. it is fully a part of him. and he inflicts it even on those he loves the most.

tldr: until the cabin scene, there were other possibilities open to snow, despite of our knowledge of the end. but not anymore. after the cabin, there is no hope of ever turning back. and that suzanne collins manages to shock you that a violent and unfeeling tyrant could be so violent and unfeeling is a feat of storytelling, in my opinion.

listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.

[saviourkingslut]

maroon, merlot, carnelian, scarlet, imperial!!

EDIT: for some reason i? published this ask before fully answering it, idk what happened there lol anyway here's carnelian, scarlet and imperial too >>

maroon: what role do you play in your group of friends? interesting question! i think im a bit of a mix between the cool dad and the weird uncle, at least with im with my gayest closest friend group. i tend do do weird ass shit and act out in public when im around my friends, but im also the person who can be a bit stern or tell people to mind their behaviour, to make plans or to pick out the faults in other people's plans, or make decisions for the group. a bit stern but at the same time letting people do whatever, be a bit relaxed abt everything, and making sure everyone has fun and is comfortable

merlot: do you have any unusual fears? answered here!

carnelian: at what point did your life change without you realising? uhh im not really sure, honestly. most things that have changed my life i was pretty conscious about as it was happening, like deciding i wanted to study history when i was 15 and then sticking with that throughout high school lmao. maybe though it's the numerous times i really wanted to be some male character in a book, film or video game. in retrospect you could almost say that every single one was one step closer to realising im transmasc lol (though some more than others)

scarlet: think of your favourite genre. what kind of media in that genre do you prefer - books, films, or tv series? my favourite genres are fantasy and historical fiction, and i prefer books for both. films and series can be very nice, especially because you get to see and hear views and characters, but world building always suffers in films bc there's not much space to do it well, and im not great at watching series (i give up at some point lol). and also book-based series can just suck when they start ignoring the source material. books are simply the medium best suited to both in-depth world building and creating long and satisfying character arcs because they don't need to cut corners to stay within a time/episode limit or bc of a limited budget. i love downton abbey tho

imperial: what film, in your opinion, has the best cinematography and/or special effects? this is one of those things that i know i have Opinions abt but now that someone asks me a question i've forgotten every movie i've ever watched. when it comes to cinematography i was actually pretty impressed with the batman, especially for a superhero movie. it's not necessarily innovative but they did a lot of interesting things with colours and lighting despite almost all of the story taking place at night, and it makes for some very striking shots/scenes. contributes highly to the general feeling of the environment and the narrative, which i think is imperative of cinematography. for this same reason i've always liked the cinematography of in the mood for love. it's of a very different quality, not meant to be loud and striking but rather to give the feeling of being near to the subjects of the shot, of having little space, and yet there's a fleeting quality to many of the shots that compliments the themes of the movie itself. honestly though there's a lot more movies that have cinematography that i enjoy a lot, but these are the two that come to mind rn! if we're talking special effects, there isn't one movie i would say is 'the best', but i vastly prefer it when movies know how to balance cgi with actual sets and practical effects. nothing i dislike more than knowing and seeing that whole sets and people and outfits were created w/ cgi alone

[wickedpact]

i definitely think you're on to something about how the actual format of comics is something that people are unknowingly unhappy with in ttt. not to be all "the medium is the message" on this, but in the case of comics and the enjoyment of comics, it very much is about that. comics as a medium as considered cool media, which means that it's necessary for the reader to engage multiple senses in order to understand the material and must fill in gaps in content themselves. this creates necessary genre conventions to make the material more understandable, but that can be kind of daunting and confusing to people just starting off. the way that you read comics is not the same as watching a movie or reading a book because active participation of the interpreter is necessary for understanding comics. that's not to say that there aren't valid criticisms of the original comic and ttt (there absolutely are) but it's also totally possible that if someone hasn't been enjoying the comics then maybe comics as a medium just aren't for you and that's totally fine! if anyone's interested in this concept, definitely check out marshall mcluhan's work or even "Understanding Comics" by scott mccloud

yeah! ive read plenty of books/movies that wowed me, but i think the most a comic has ever inspired in me is 'oh, thats cool'. i think a lot of people want the tog comics to make them feel the exact same way the movie did which, 1.) the two universes are different tonally (on purpose!) and 2.) Comics Just Be Different.

i havent liked any of the comics half as much as i liked the movie, but i never expected to do so. and i dont wanna say 'well, lower your expectations everyone' but comics are just different and thats not a bad thing. & theres certainly no need to rag on the artists/authors just bc a medium isnt to your [generic your] liking.

(but like you said, there are certainly valid criticisms to be had abt the comics)

🗽 !! uhmMm how do i startttt ahshsjs ok so i get very emotional when it comes to books (books r everything). my favorite time of the year would be christmas and halloween. i like tv shows more than movies coz i feel like movies aren’t enough to satisfy my feelsh. i treasure almost everyone i talk to bc idk it makes me feel like i’m not alone :’)) i have a very dark medium cut hair and i’m kinda tall jeez. i’m also a cancer!! that’s all i can think abt myself rn aaa yeSS CONGRATS BIDEN 💙💙

Hi babe! Thanks for sending this in x

I ship you with Neville!

Neville is, by nature, a gentle soul and I think his softer personality would really complement yours. I really think that Ngo will be the kind of person that adores reading. I can picture him just really collecting a lot of different herbology books really enjoy reading them.  to me, Neville having a girlfriend who just likes reading as much as he does would be a huge plus. I think he would love just sitting with you in the castle or in one of your common rooms and reading while you’re near one another. I can also see ham going on dates with you were you would like to maybe go to a café and just read and get some hot tea or coffee. 

In a relationship, I think it would be really important for Neville to be comfortable with his partner.  I know this is self-explanatory when it comes to any relationship, but I think in particular it would be really important for Neville to have a relationship with someone that he could just be very comfortable with. I think you would make him feel this level of comfort with your welcoming personality and he would just feel at home with you. he would be able to open up to you about his passions and would be able to do this without any judgment, because he knew that you will be the last person that would ever judge him.

I think Neville would have mixed feelings about holidays, because of his parents and everything that happened to them was having to visit them on Christmas at St. Mungo’s but with your love of holidays, I can see him developing a new love for holidays mainly because of you and the memories he makes with you during these times of the year.

Aww, thank u so much! This was submitted to me quite a while back and I’m really sorry for the major delay. However, I’ve finally gotten to this. Hope you still enjoy it :)

Ikemen Sengoku

I’d pair you with.................. Hideyoshi Toyotomi!

Honestly, I was having difficult picking just one person since you have such a complex personality (don’t worry, this is a good thing). For a while, I was leaning towards Mitsuhide at first because your personality would’ve made the perfect MC for his route. You’re sweet enough to get him to open up, but not a complete ditz. He’d love to learn all the different sides of your personality, falling for every single piece. After all, there’s no puzzle that he can’t solve.

However, I’m gonna go with Hideyoshi on this one. His simple attitude would best compliment all your different traits, creating the perfect balance. Whenever he’s being hard-headed, your multi-dimensional personality will provide him with another side that he hadn’t considered.

Don’t want to ask for help? Not a problem because Hideyoshi is going to help you anyways (whether you want or not). He’ll be at your side all day, making sure that even the smallest of tasks have dealt with. Once your work is done, he’ll linger around for a little bit, waiting for that last good-bye kiss. 

You manage to pull him out of his comfort zone, going on small adventures together! He’s not the biggest fan of them, but he always tags along to make sure you’re alright. His favorite adventures are when you two go into the forests, observing all the different animals. There’s nothing like seeing the sweet smile on your face to brighten up his day.

The day always ends with the two of you heading back to his room, laying on his bed, and looking at all the cool stuff that you found. He’ll have his arms wrapped around your waist, resting his chin on top of your head, listening to you rave about the adventure. But when you remind him that there’s no place that you’d rather be than in his arms, Hideyoshi can’t help but turn into a puddle. It’s just a night of cuddles and endless affection.

Hideyoshi is also the best person to go to when you’re feeling like a complete mess. Even if he’s busy, he’ll always put time aside to comfort you. If you’re feeling scared or unsure, the warlord will stroke your hair and remind you about all the times that you’ve been right (and all the things you’ve accomplished because of that). Even if things go awry, he’ll always be there to hold your hand for comfort’s sake. After all, you’ve guided him through his messes, so now it’s his turn to repay the favor.

Another Possibility: Mitsuhide Akechi

Ikemen Revolution

I’d pair you with............... Ray Blackwell!

So there’s not a lot of leeway here since your description really just screamed “RAY” to me. However, I feel like I could throw you at Blanc! He’d do his best to make you feel welcome in the Cradle and slowly crack through your quiet demeanor. Once he learns what’s inside, bunny boy is absolutely charmed! It’s hard for him to stay away, especially since he just gravitates towards your cheery energy. Nevertheless, the Black Army King won over in the end.

When Ray first meets you, he appreciates your quiet side. Not too noisy or annoying, unlike certain members in the Black Army. Besides, you seem to have your head screwed on straight, so he won’t have to worry too much about you getting into endless trouble. Your maturity throughout the entire situation will only garner his respect.

When Fenrir cracks a crude joke and you stifle your laughter, Ray raises an eyebrow. There’s definitely more to you than meets the eye and he’s interested in what exactly hides behind your quiet exterior. While he may not go out of his way to search for it, Ray takes mental notes when you do something that pleasantly surprises him.

Bookworm buddies!! Every now and then, you two engage in a reading competition: who can read the most books throughout the week? For the prize, the loser has to listen to the winner’s commands for an entire day. While the winning party varies, it’s always a close call.

Ray is always teasing you for being a hopeless romantic. However, that’s just his way of hiding how he thinks that your mentality towards love is adorable. If he’s completely honest, you remind him of the main heroine in most romance novels. Does that mean he’s willing to be your love interest? Why don’t you ask him and find out ;)

Ray notices the twinkle in your eyes when you watch him practice with his sword. When you ask him about it, he’ll happily show you all the types of swords and guns that are used in the Black Army. He even gives you confidential information about the latest gun prototypes. At one point, he’ll even gift you with the weapon of your choice (you can customize it however you want). Whether you choose to use it is up to you (but little tip here: Ray finds it hot when you carry it around on your belt).

Another Possibility: Blanc Lapin

MLQC

I’d pair you with............ Victor!

Before I unveil first place over here, I think you and Kiro would also have amazing chemistry too! You two would mesh so well together, being the biggest balls of sunshine. When you’re feeling down, you can always expect his teddy-bear smile to cheer you up in an instance. It gives me such “wholesome couple vibes” that I’m not even sure how to put it into words.

So you must be wondering, “Why Victor?” It’s because our loveable grump needs some sunshine of his own (a ray of sunshine that he won’t throw out the window or chastise to death). From the beginning, Victor takes a liking towards you. You’re mature, dependable, and want the best for the company. Even if you’re not directly involved, he appreciates your efforts towards becoming the best. There’s something about you that makes him want to root for you.

And so he does, pouring a decent amount of money into your dreams. However, Victor will constantly watch you from the side (after all, he’s gotta see how his investment is being used). This may cause you some discomfort, but he’s doing it to make sure that you get to the top of your dreams. 

When you’re feeling unsure of yourself, Victor will give you the guidance that you need. He’ll try his best to give his input on the situation, making sure that it gets you closer and closer to the answers that you need. Once you manage to pull everything together, he can’t help but feel a little tug on his chest. It’s a combination of both pride and something a little sweeter.

Victor also finds your multi-faceted personality quite impressive. It’s amazing how you can show a range of emotions and feelings, especially when you’re dealing with different types of people. He doesn’t have such a range of emotions, so he tries to pick up on a few of your traits. It doesn’t always work, but you always get a good laugh out of it.

Whenever Victor has had a long day at work, the two of you lay on the grass and watch the night sky. There’s something about the stars that calms him and he wouldn’t have known it if he never met you. So he’ll always be grateful for the peace that you’ve given him. 

Another Possibility: Kiro

[arcadeigannon]

ok but like you were wrong abt the article, like you clearly didn't read it

this is so funny because i actually specifically went and took the time to read the article before i posted anything Because the headline seemed like the perfect kind of quote to be used out of context as clickbait lmao. sorry that i didn’t do a full rhetorical analysis of all the nuances in the statement the russos made about a movie i dont actually care about

but if you want my In Depth Take:

there you go, there’s a screenshot of the full quote.

“but the way we work as filmmakers is we have to satisfy ourselves first and foremost…that’s how we’ve made every one of our marvel movies and it’s how we’re making this one”

let’s get this out of the way first – i can’t actually be Wrong about this because it’s a matter of opinion. maybe u disagree and fine whatever that’s your prerogative. but i’m saying that i, as a filmmaker, as a writer, as a screenwriter specifically, and as an audience member think it’s lazy and even selfish to take the privilege of being able to contribute (more than once!) to the canon and lore of a story, characters, and universe as significant and fantastic as marvel, and use it to just. tell whatever story you think is Neat.

like. let me also establish that this isn’t about me being mad because i’m a marvel stan because i could not care any less about marvel films anymore. i don’t care. I Don’t Care. but using marvel as a way to explain my point: we’re talking about a whole UNIVERSE of stories. it’s part of why comic book films are so difficult bc film canon obviously doesn’t have the versatility of comic book canon. and no you’re obviously not going to be able to fully realize that in film no matter what because it’s a different medium, but when you’re in charge of handling DECADES of history for DOZENS of characters and you have SO many incredible comic book writers and artists who came before you and already spent time lovingly shaping this world and these stories, then i think there’s SOME degree of responsibility there!

so when u come in and go “here is The Marvel Film……i think its exciting for me personally and that’s the best i can do :)” it’s like… lvkfovofgbfg you’re literally getting paid millions of dollars to do this and you’re using it as an opportunity to write glorified fanfiction? alright. (that’s not a dig at fanfic either. honestly. fanfic authors care more about their work than some of these guys lmao)

no SHIT you’re not going to please everyone, OBVIOUSLY when you’re creating something it should come from a genuine place and it should be something that you’re invested in and believe in and sometimes that means tuning out outside opinions, again this is what i DO i KNOW how it works but there’s also a difference between. a fucking passion project. and the culmination of what, over half a century of collaborative storytelling? you’re not only essentially saying “fuck you i do what i want” to millions of fans but you’re saying it to all the artists who spent just as much if not more time and care on this before you to get it to where it is.

do i think they’re intentionally trying to brush off fans or whatever? obviously fucking not i’m not stupid and i’m aware it’s not necessarily that deep but when this is just like. reflective of the kind of stuff i have to deal with in this industry on a daily basis – mediocre people getting praised and rewarded for doing the absolute bare minimum or even less – it touches a nerve u know!

same problem as joss whedon. same problem as rian johnson. all they care about is Their Story. that’s a valid position a lot of times! yeah! but u don’t fucking get that luxury when a) it’s something that’s SO much bigger than you culturally b) it wasn’t even your fucking story to begin with

Oh god, thank you? I never thought you would because I really love your art and your writing and I just didn’t think you’d know I existed. I’m so sorry this is late: i don’t think tumblr’s notifying me so i didn’t see until i was scrolling through your tumblr... 

i adore your art? I love how confident your lines seem and your blocky colouring, and I love the colours you use? I love how you draw hands and faces and hair... I love how you draw curls? And noses! I just love your style! It’s so recognizable and round and i get so excited when i see you post

I also really love your writing! Could I happen to retag you for your writing? I just really adore how surreal your stories all are + the atmosphere you build. I adore how you write dialogue and your descriptions. I’m very obsessed with La Rose Celeste and Darkly Devoted and Worms... and the one where Enj is a siren. And also the one where he’s a dark lord. I just love all your fics so much <3 I’ll stop rambling.

[kimmexart]

Hi! Can I have a demon slayer matchup? My pronouns are she/her and I’m fine with male or female preference.I am also 19 so I’d like someone 18 and up.

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧���: I’m a Slytherin. My moral alignment is true neutral. I have massive introverted tendencies and am awkward in nature with new people. As a result I can come across as aloof and indifferent. I absolutely despise small talk. However with my friends I’m quite friendly, outgoing, and confident. Whenever I’m with my friends I can get really giggly and dorky when talking abt my recent hyperfixations. I tend to either overthink everything or not think at all. I’m a bit of a control freak and want to do the things the way I do them but I won’t enforce this on anyone else. Just let me do things the way I do them. I'm also quite dedicated on what I want in my life and will stand by those decisions.

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦: Art. Any art honestly. Though I mostly work with digital mediums. That is, I love to creative code. I’m currently studying digital media arts with the hopes to be a video game designer. Apart from this, I love other mediums of art too especially drawing, digital illustrating, and printmaking.

𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦: let’s just say I spend way too much time daydreaming. Fan fiction, video games, movies, books, tv shows. Anything that lets me daydream and disappear from reality for a while is a hobby of mine. I also love working out and weight lifting.

Thanks 💜

I match you with…

shinobu kocho

-Shinobu stumbled upon you one day your art is what caught her attention the way you were so focused on every stroke you did

-She would approach you and compliment your work

-you were very awkward at first when it came to her compliments you knew who she was

-she chuckled when she thinks about your first interaction

-i think the second time you’d meet you handed her a drawing of her, you made her beauty show in just a drawing and she loved it

-she would occasionally bump into you and the more you did the more you talked

-Your grew comfortable with her and began talking almost everyday

-shinobu would slowly open up to you as well about her sister and her jealousy of the other hashira

-and her true emotions

-she was scared when she did she wouldn’t know how you’d react

-her personality was practically a lie

-She thought you would just ignore her and forget about her

-you never changed your attitude towards her she was glad you accepted her even if she was the opposite

-As long as she was honest with you, You couldn’t be angry or leave her

-you both found a way to relieve the stress by training together it was more of you trying to catch up with her and not giving up

-Shinobu would invite you to her own personal room in the estate where the both of you would lay together in a comfortable atmosphere

-she enjoyed playing with your hair inbetween her fingers the two of you felt happy to be together in that very moment

-shinobu genuinely felt happy enough to smile when you were with her

-Your laughs would just put her in a spell

she’d listen to you ever time you spoke

-She would notice how you would do stuff your own way when it came to cooking or just doing the bed she never corrected you or pointed you into a different direction

-her favorite part was when she’d find you randomly staring off to space, she would feel worried for your safety and just make one of the kakushi keep a close eye on you

-She never judged you once and would just appreciate the time the two of you would have together even if she knew how it would end

we dont talk ever but what happened with the cashier?? im so curious

(this turned into an incredibly long post i got caught up in reliving the moment sorry lmfao ill put it under a read more later)

honestly its SO stupid and now that i think abt it was it even a roast??????? probably not but listen i died and went to hell and then died again

i was at the movies to see thor 3 for the third time and i went to the concession stand and it was p empty and i had like 20 minutes until the film so i was chill as fuck i was like what bs am i gonna spend money on today??? OH those huge ass thor ragnarok cups look cool, ill get iced tea, done.

i go up to the guy, and i ask how much those cups were and he immediately said “oh theyre $22” and in my head i was like what the fuck holy fucking shit its just a cup???? but ofc im too socially fucking stupid to say no to tht so i said YES (also i didnt wanna be like “oh really???¿¿¿¿” bc tht sounds accusatory to me and i didnt want him to think i was blaming him on prices and he’d already taken the cup out so i didnt wanna make him put it back) and after i said alright i went “can i get iced tea-” and he stops me and gives me like 18 different facial expressions and goes “wait, REALLY??? really you wanna pay $22 for THIS??? for this- this???? i mean, what, a cup?? its gor, what, thor?? i guess hes kinda jacked on it, but $22????!!!” and so now i feel like a moron so im backpedaling MAD HARD like “oh haha ur right, thats a lot, uh ill just get a medium- i mean hes ripped but i can just see him in the movies- its stupid haha im paying so much for the movie so uh the cups just whatever hahagaaggg” and we’re talking over each other and i am RED AS A FUCKING TOMATO

and then. and then he goes “its not ACTUALLY $22, u can get it, i dont care” and its at this point that i FINALLY realize hes fucking with me, its just a joke that im taking WAY too seriously (he was tryna joke with me and i got so into it i made it worse than i had to be) and im still red and stuttering like crazy WISHING i didnt ask for the stupid fucking cup!!!! so i go “oh, how much is it then??” and he goes “i dont know i have no idea” like????¿¿¿¿??? and i was ABOUT TO SAY “”“but you work here”“” and i realized how lowkey douchey tht sounded (bc just bc he works there doesnt mean he knows the prices for everything) so i DIDNT say that and the cup was like $6 or $8 so whatever i pay for the shit and im STILL TALKING im still trying to justify my $22 cup necessity and im trying to explain to him how i rarely buy stuff, i dont go out AT all so its nbd to me, how this is my third time seeing the movie, and then he starts grilling me on the movie itself and im DYING bc i been at this counter for over 8 or 9 minutes now and theres a line forming and im sweating bc i wanna go find a seat but i dont wanna be rude and im trying to tell him the movie is good, its fresh its funny its new and he just. leans against the counter and starts telling me abt his week. abt how he works 2 jobs and 50+ hours a week and how hes not even supposed to be here today and im like “oh yeah haha i know how that is” (because i do but i dont tell my customers that???¿¿¿¿) and my face is still red and he looks like he doesnt believe me bc im wearing a yellow sweater with the word “disruption” on it, willing to pay $22 for a cup, watching a superhero movie for the third time, ON MY OWN, and OF COURSE shit doesnt even end there, he tell me it comes with a topper (those lil action figure things of the characters) and he asks me which one i want but my visons black bc im so embarassed so i tell him to give me whatever, it doesnt matter, and i try to bring the joke back im like “haha which ones the one that costs $22 ;^))))))” and he gives me the strangest look and goes “none of them cost $22??? u can just pick whatever u want….” AS IF THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION DIDNT HAPPEN. and theres still a line forming behind me so im like pls fam ……whichever one pls let me leave….and so he pulls out like the entire fucking cast and crew of thor ragnarok and starts naming them all. and im fucking losing my mind. and he gets to like hela and valkyrie and hes like “i dont know who these are bc i havent had time to see the movie bc i work too much i only slept 3 hours last nignt” and im like kill me kill me kill me kill me

and im like…begging this guy…im like please…..just give me Whichever i dont care please………and he gives me Another Weird Look and goes “its up to u??? you get to choose” ans im like KILL ME but i actually say “haha it doesnt matter” and then my brain decides i want thor and he gives me hulk and he gives me a look like hes daring me too say something else to embarass myself so im like whatever!!!! im done im done!!!!!

so i shove literally all my shit into my pockets and full on book it away from tht counter with just “holy shit” on repeat in my head
