caturday movie night

tldr: can you cat sense chan's fear? (early relationship!chan) a/n: i love him so bad, ur honor.

chan liked your cat. he thought the cat was cute and he seemed quite sweet when you interacted with him. that isn’t the problem. your cat just didn’t like chan. he has tried over and over to get the cat to open up to him. he’s asked his friends with cats what to do, read articles online about how to introduce himself to the cat, and even watched youtube videos, practicing his ‘friendly crouch’ in his bedroom mirror. all his efforts seemed fruitless. every time he came over to your apartment, your cat ran and hid from him. the small animal cowered behind you in his presence. ducking behind your legs and not allowing chan to lay a single finger on him. maybe he could sense that chan always liked dogs better. 

it never bothered you that your cat hated chan, his words, not yours. in fact, you insisted that he did not hate chan, he just needed more time to warm up to the new man in your life. after all, your cat had been the only guy in your life up until eight months ago when you moved into your current apartment. that's how you and chan met. you were moving into chan’s building and he offered to help you move some boxes. you and chan had been official for the last six months and your cat still cannot stand the sight of him. 

your cat is all he can think about as he walks down the hallway of your shared building, headed for another movie night at your place. despite the uncomfortable cat situation, it was easier to spend time at your place, seeing as you had no roommates and chan had two. and as much as he loved vernon and seungkwan, a romantic movie night was better without them. 

he stands in front of your door and knocks. he’s sure at this point he could probably just let himself in, especially since you shared the code to your door with him a few weeks ago, but it feels impolite so he patiently waits for you to open the door. as he waits he thinks again of your cat. what exactly was it that the poor animal hated so much about chan? did he do something? was it a vibe? or maybe it was–

the door swung open and your head appeared in the gap, “hi!” you pulled the door open wider, inviting chan into your space, “come in. I’m almost done preparing the snacks.” you greeted chan with a chaste kiss, then turned and walked deeper into the apartment, chan followed behind you, listening for the tell-tale sounds of a bell on a collar and tiny nails striking the hardwood. 

when you finally reach your kitchen, chan saw the cat. he was asleep in his bed, curled up, looking relaxed. this was all bound to end as soon as he woke up and saw chan. then he’d go running in the opposite direction from wherever chan was. 

“channie?” your soft voice interrupted his thoughts. he turned to you, “can you help me carry these snacks to the living room? we can put them on the coffee table.” 

“of course, pretty.” he loved the way you blushed at his nickname for you. he’d been calling you ‘pretty’ for a few months now and every time he did, your face flushed. it thrilled him to no end. 

quietly, so as to not disturb your sleeping cat, he crossed the kitchen and grabbed the bowl of popcorn, following you to your cozy living room. the next movie in your studio ghibli marathon already pulled up. 

things went smoothly for the first half of the movie. you and chan had snuggled up on the couch, your head resting on his shoulder, his arm around your waist, holding you close. you were enjoying watching kiki’s adventures in koriko when chan heard it: the small footfalls of your cat. he tensed briefly, knowing this would be unfortunate for the animal whose living room this technically was.

the small cat wandered into the living room sleepily. you reached for the remote, pressing pause, “come here, little boy. come sit with us, get to know channie. he’s convinced you hate him.” this last part was said teasingly, your eyes turned to chan, glimmering with mirth.   

to everyone’s surprise, the lethargic cat ambled into the room, pausing briefly in front of you before making eye contact with chan. 

chan held his breath, he was sure the cat was going to turn around and run out of the room, scared by something in chan’s eyes. your cat squatted and jumped right into chan’s lap. he turned around once, twice, thrice, and then settled into chan’s lap. closing his eyes and beginning to purr. 

you smiled wide, “i told you he liked you, channie. he just needed time to see how great you are.” your head tipped back onto his shoulder, settling back in to finish the movie. 

chan reached an experimental hand down to pet the cat’s head. he took the increased purring as a good sign. “i think you’re great too, pretty.” chan could get used to this. dogs are overrated anyway.

Bonus 84: Are thumbs fingers and which episode of Lingthusiasm are you? Survey results and a new personality quiz

In this bonus episode, Lauren and Gretchen get enthusiastic about two kinds of fun linguistic questionnaires! 

First: if you were a Lingthusiasm episode, which one would be? We've made a tongue-in-cheek quiz that transforms your answers to questions like "You're about to start a massive Lingthusiasm listening marathon. You need to stay fortified and hydrated. Pick a beverage to sustain you" into a Highly Accurate Window Into Your Personality.  Gretchen and Lauren take the quiz on air and share our own results -- please let us know what you get and if this quiz helps you remember an older episode or figure out how to get a friend started on Lingthusiasm!

Second: we have results from the Lingthusiasm survey that many of you took last year! Find out whether Lingthusiasm listeners consider the show more kiki or more bouba, and highlights from your very extensive comments on whether your sister's husband's sister is still your sister-in-law, whether the thumb is a finger, and more gestures that are rude in some places. A few survey results also appear in an academic paper that we wrote: "Communicating about linguistics using lingcomm-driven evidence: Lingthusiasm podcast as a case study" which was published in Language and Linguistics Compass (open access).

Finally, a few updates: For 2024, Gretchen is heading to the Societas Linguistica Europea conference in Helsinki in August and Lauren is heading back to full-time prof work, teaching syntax and turning gestures and Lingthusiasm research into papers. Plus: the LingComm Grants are running again for 2024. Listen to this episode about two kinds of fun linguistic questionnaires, and get access to many more bonus episodes by supporting Lingthusiasm on Patreon.

TXT as studio ghibli characters!

a/n - I was doing a studio ghibli marathon with my friends and thought I'd do this for fun ♡

---☆

Yeonjun - Howl (Howls moving castle)

honestly I don't even know how to explain this. Yeonjun just gives off that sort of vibe you know? 😭 Also Howls ego 😭😭😭 'if I can't be pretty there's no point in living 😔' I think this matches Yeonjun pretty well.

He'd be so cool, composed, and mysterious when you first meet, but once you start getting to know him he's just this big pouty adorable baby 🙃

Also imagine Yeonjun in Howls clothing 🫠 You know howls white top and tight black pants?

kind of like this?

Also fun fact: the female lead of howls moving castle has the same name as me so it makes the movie that much better 🙃

---☆

Soobin - Haku (Spirited away)

I think it's just because Soobin is so calm most of the time? Haku is also a leader of sorts to the other people at the bath house so yeah 🙃 (I'm sorry am I even making sense rn? 😭)

He may seem super blocked off at first but ends up being a huge help to you and a very close friend c:

Honestly I was kind of tempted to give this character to beomgyu just because of the long hair 😭

---☆

Beomgyu - Calcifer (Howls moving castle)

Calcifer is just so mischievous you know? (And dramatic but anyways) He's loud playful and just fun to be around 🤷🏻‍♀️ Calcifer is honestly like my favorite studi ghibli character ever.

I think he's also just really loyal. He can be super chaotic at times but when it comes to your time of need he'll be right by your side.

Like in the beginning of the movie, I don't think calcifer liked Sophie that much, and was always messing with her. But when she and howl were in danger he tried his best to help in any way he could.

---☆

Taehyun - Jiji (Kikis delivery service)

I mean Jiji is a cat so... do I really have to day anything more?

Jiji is probably one of the most down to earth and honest characters in studio ghibli.

He makes a great companion, great friend, and great advice giver. (Also super sarcastic but you know-)

He's the type to be super honest with you and tell you straight up if you've done something stupid. But that also makes him an amazing advice giver. Hence, leading to a great friendship 👍

---☆

Hueningkai - Sosuke (Ponyo)

I don't know how to explain this one 🙃

Sosuke is like this little ball of energy. Always curious and super energetic. He also has a huge imagination!

Throughout the movie I feel like Sosuke didn't really know what was going on, but he knew his friend needed help and was willing to do anything for them.

So huening might be clueless/ innocent at times, but he'd be willing to put himself at risk for you.

---☆

a/n: I'm so sorry that this is all over the place 😭 have of what I said makes basically no sense, but I hope you enjoyed my rambling still...?

Fluffy February Day 2: That One Time...

SWTOR

Set during KOTET

Setra woke with a start as the Hope Everlasting's pre-flight systems kicked in. She looked at the clock on her bedside table - it was two in the morning. Far too early for Ceetoo or the maintenance crew to be doing any work. A quiet snore next to her told her that Theron was still asleep. Taking care not to wake him, she crawled out of bed and tiptoed to the cockpit. She didn't bother grabbing a weapon; she had a sneaking feeling that she knew who the mystery intruder was.

Her suspicion was confirmed when she found her nephew, Nico Kallig using the Force to turn on and use various ship systems as he sat in the pilot's chair. Setra and Theron were babysitting him for the week as Kiki and Andronikos had business to attend to on Dromund Kaas, and Nico was supposed to be asleep. Setra was impressed; they hadn't yet started training the seven year old how to use the Force on starship systems yet.

She knelt down next to the boy, quickly using the Force herself to turn off the systems that he'd activated as she wrapped an arm around him.

"Hey, buddy, don't you think it's a bit early for Force practice? Bedtime was at nine, remember?"

The little boy nodded, dwarfed by the pilot's seat - he was due for a growth spurt soon. "I wanted to see if I could, like Mommy did that one time on Florrum."

Setra gently guided the boy to the ship's kitchen. She remembered the incident; it was a few months prior, during what was supposed to be an easy relic excavation. It had just been the twins, Qyzen, and Nico on that trip, and Kiki's ship had technical issues that were beyond Setra's skills to fix with what they had on hand. Setra had just left on the Hope Everlasting when Kiki, in a stroke of genius, figured out how to fix the issue - it ended up being a jam in the engines that Setra had missed when running diagnostics.

"And that's totally understandable, bud. But maybe wait in the future, for me, Theron, or Qyzen to be awake for it, yeah?"

The boy nodded, contemplative. "But what if all three of you are in trouble, and Mommy and Daddy aren't around?"

Ah. There it is.

Setra gently pulled the boy into a hug. Then we get Aunt Lana or Miss Sana-Rae. You could even call Uncle Gaden-Ko and he'll come from Voss, remember? I appreciate the enthusiasm, but you're seven and it's two in the morning. Now, how do you feel about waffles and a story before I put you back to bed? We got a shipment in of the toaster waffles with walnuts in them?"

Nico cheered up and nearly raced her to the kitchen; Midnight Pancakes was just as much a sacred tradition for him as it was Setra, and waffles were an acceptable substitution. She quickly got him situated with his waffles and a cup of sleepy tea, and was leaning against the wall watching when Theron stepped up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. He kept his voice low, mouth close to her ear.

"Rough night, I take it? Kiki gets back day after tomorrow, yeah?"

Setra nodded slightly, keeping her voice equally low. "They're going to try and come in late tomorrow night; the girls caught a stomach bug. I was thinking a movie marathon tomorrow? Dawn of the Undead Living movies, shouldn't be too gory for him?"

Theron kissed her neck. "Sounds good, we haven't done a movie marathon with him recently. I'm not sure I've even seen those movies yet."

Setra turned around to kiss him properly, a cheeky grin forming. "Oho, we are going to have fun tomorrow then."

[antialiart]

Sometime probably more than a decade ago, @pea-green and I had a Week of Centrifuges and TARDISes, where we marathoned Doctor Who and ReGenesis and she drew a cute illustration of it. This visit became an Agatha Christie marathon plus a spooky-themed escape room, plus also we watched Kiki's Delivery Service (a very good film I had not seen before). I decided to illustrate it in style.

[silversky9]

If I could ask for anything in life one of those requests would be to be in a group hug with Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, Charlize Theron, Alessandro Borghi, Kiki Layne, and Matthias Shoenaerts, and Veronica Ngô

And then we could have a movie marathon and bake and yea I'm rambling

I know he's not in The Old Guard but still it's Alessandro

(   evan mock  .  cis man  .  he/they  )       —       blasting  cool-doug, at night  by  sammy rae & the friends  down  main  street  we’ve  spotted  KIERAN “KIKI” AQUINO  sporting  their  pearl earring & pink buzzcut.  the  seventy-two (appears twenty-seven)  year  old  VAMPIRE  who’s  been  in  town  for  six years  often  can  be  seen  driving around town with rolled-down windows, crying during sad scenes in movies, trying new recipes,  or  working  as  an  SURGEON  at  PORTUM GENERAL.  people  say  they  display  good-humored  and  irreverent traits,  but  we  rather  trust  their  vibes:  the scent of salted ocean air, knowing that the sun is there even if you cannot see it, hearing someone whistle a song you forgot the name of, a dog running with a stick of dynamite between its teeth.  also,  we’ve  heard  they  love  SURFING, DISCO, & BIRDS !   aren’t  they  fascinating ?   

biography .

kieran is born in 1952 to two older parents who had, in their retirement, finally followed their dreams to move away from rigorous city living to a small coastal town in southern australia. his parents had all but given up on having children, and kieran's birth was a surprise, but not an unwelcome one. kieran ( better known as “kiki” ) had a happy upbringing, awash with love. it soon became apparent that he was a surfing prodigy. by the age of ten, he was competing in national competitions, winning multiple junior titles in the late 60s & early 70s. he disappeared from the sport in his mid-twenties, something that was seen as a shame but not too deeply investigated. most attributed his early retirement to an injury he sustained during a competition ( or out of it ). in reality, he fell in love with a merman @highertides. after realizing that his boyfriend was indeed immortal, not one to be outdone by fate, kiki went and got himself turned into a vampire. voluntarily. ah, young love.

extras .

has been in a committed relationship with his husband ( rui aquino ) for the last fifty years !!

while not entirely reckless, he's not opposed to taking risks. he doesn't often let his thoughts spiral, instead choosing to act first and deal with the consequences.

athletic & active ! still surfs at the crack of dawn and has probably run marathons before.

gets along with kids — maybe because he still is one at heart. lies to them about how old he is and where he is from. there are kids running around portum who think he’s a 500 year old vampire pirate.

was a part of melbourne's counterculture in the 70's.

on that note. lies for fun !! but it’s rarely malicious. very lame sense of humor. finds himself funny.

owns two caiques: razor and scooter. owns some pet fish as well.

this isn’t his first time in portum. he also briefly lived in town sometime in the 80’s(?), but left after a bit. probably to travel.

being a surgeon isn’t his first career path. only the truly bizarre and immortal would find med school to be a side quest, but that’s what being a surgeon is for him. it’s something he enjoys and finds interesting.

more tba !!

wanted connections .

SIRE . he would have been turned ~45 years ago (in 1979). not looking for anything super weighty or angsty here. while i’m more than open to a past negative relationship, maybe they have a mutual understanding now and kiki is more or less just an annoyance. or, maybe their relationship has more or less been positive for the past few decades, and your muse felt that it was refreshing that someone wanted the bite for a “pure” reason as opposed to wealth or power. — taken by seyfi mocan .

IMPRINT . people he’s taken under his wing !! i was mainly thinking younger vampires, but it could be other supernaturals. we could work out the particulars, but i feel like he’s the type to accumulate strays 😭

A LONG WAY BACK . long-term connections and/or people he’s met outside of portum !!

GROWING PAINS . a mentor/guide of sorts; someone older than kiki (90+) who's been someone he has confided in throughout the years. while kiki did consider the ramifications of being 27 forever, it's one thing to think you'll know what it's like and another to actually be faced with the reality of outliving friends, family, and the culture you grew up in. — taken by calahan macarthy .

+ super willing to brainstorm !!

I have finished off my Ghibli movie marathon with and Miyazaki has such a talent at making you crave more while leaving you completely satisfied.

Everytime i finish Totoro, Kiki's, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving castle its always so bittersweet because I want MORE of them. Not in the way that makes me read fanfiction or look into fandom, but I want the movies to continue. The endings are so perfect it really feels like you took a peek into a very short part of their lives. The character's in Ghibli films are so well written and developed its so real that they'll go on to continue their lives like real people and im missing out. Never felt that way about any other movies. One of a kind director

ok an entire year later how do you feel about the owl house season 3........ i rewatched it recently during that one marathon and auhhhhh honestlyyyyy idk it was fineeeee...... the second episode fucking sucks every single time i watch it (other than the luz and camila scene) but i found myself enjoying "watching and dreaming" more than i did the first time. i think the parts that really mattered were fucking amazing, like eda & king & luz reunion, luz's "death" (seriously the music and animation was SO good), the final fight, belos' death. they did the best they could with the extreme time restraint, and i do like how it focused more on just luz and eda and king instead of Those Other Guys (said with love). but i can't believe how bad "for the future" was. it somehow manages to get worse upon every rewatch LOL. what are your thoughts? also hiiiii

HIII!!! I agree entirely, the parts of the episode that mattered were REALLY REALLY good! Everything involving the main story and plot were done insanely well with how much they probably had to cut out with the series being shortened. The final fight still gives me chills and while I wish we got to see more than we did, I'm satisfied with how the main story was wrapped up, and I'm happy that the final episode finally put all the extra side plots going on with the other characters to the side to bring the main three back to the focus like they were at the start of the series. Removing the episode from the rest of the disaster that was the second episode, I actually really enjoy it and like it. That being said, SERIOUSLY. Why was FtF SO FUCKING BAD. Every time I watch it, it makes me find more things to be mad at it for/dislike about it. Easily the worst episode of the entire series, it still feels so out of place and unnecessary. And half the episode feels like it recons certain characters' arcs just to give the episode some "villains". Which is stupid because Belos and the Collector ARE STILL RIGHT FUCKING THERE. Like, there was no reason to make Kiki still power hungry as if Belos telling her to go die in a hole and her helping King because she was just so broken at the end of it all during the Day of Unity never fucking happened. She was always fighting for Belos (and herself by extent, but), so why would she still be trying to rule people? That makes no sense in the context of the story. And Boscha begging Amity to take her back? Also makes no sense. Like, yes, it makes slightly more sense than Kiki, but only for the fact that we don't really see Boscha ever get "better" yet, she mostly just became irrelevant. Although, that' not entirely true either, because we see her being disgusted by Luz and Amity being romantic in the beginning of LR, so actually I take it back. It makes just as little sense as Kiki regressing back to her old ways, now with no purpose behind it. It just reads so much like bad fanfic writing from a 12 year old that just discovered Wattpad lmao.

And obviously, don't even get me started on the Willow bullshit from the episode. I feel like I've repeated myself a million times about how that episode fully put the anchor on the sinking of her character & arc. And the fact that they used Hunter as a way of doing it, which also made Hunter extremely OOC and made half his arc and growth meaningless. Just makes me SO fucking mad.

🎞️ 🛁 🥡 for your self ship asks!!!

HI LEIGH TY FOR INDULGING ME

🎞️ – you each pick three movies for a movie marathon. who’s picking what?

me: midsommar, spirited away, and nope

satoru: barbie, kiki's delivery service, and crazy rich asians

suguru: everything everywhere all at once, princess mononoke, and blade runner 2049

🛁 – do you prefers baths or showers together?

baths with suguru (they're calm & quiet), showers with satoru (it gives him the space to crowd me into the wall and kiss me when he gets distracted while i wash his hair). showers if it's all three of us (the tub isn't quite big enough to fit three people, especially when two of those people are giants)

🥡 – do you prefer to cook together or order takeout?

cooking with suguru by a long shot. if satoru's in charge of dinner we're ordering in (he tried to help me cook once and we almost had to call the fire department. he's not allowed in the kitchen without supervision anymore.)

send me self ship asks!
