“ What is life WORTH LIVING if you don’t dance to anything ? ”

[kaijuparfait]

long ramble of me going through the venom trailer because i am insane totally normal about it

this isn't anything professional, just me spouting out random words as i run around in circles like an excited dog-

OK LET'S GO:

firstly... king please change your clothes its been years, why are you still wearing that exact same outfit???

BUT i am a sucker for the light going over and past Eddie as he walks, i just think it's so cool hehe,,

E: "You should probably know that I have a really dark and unpredictable side to me."

hmmm... i'll believe you. at first, it sounds like he's telling this to Venom, but I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie is telling this to someone else and this "dark and unpredictable side" is Venom.... Or he is telling this to Venom and Eddie just really wants to kill now which. I am ok with that, love that for them, they should be allowed to do what they want

cleanly punching off the lock via the ~ Power of Friendship ~ (or something like that)

not the dogs :( i'm assuming this is a place to hold dogs for like. dog fighting?? i think? which is terrible and those guys deserved to get their heads eaten!

E: "I'm giving you a chance, sweetie."

LET. EDDIE. KILL. everyone say thank you Tom Hardy for being Eddie cause WOAH i am. normal.

V: "Just say "when"." E: "...when."

WE'RE SO BACK its just like the "Mask!" "Copy." bit from the first movie omg we're so back, these two make me ill i love them sm

also Eddie not even flinching at the knife, most likely Venom turning off the pain (or something) but I like to think Eddie's just cool like that (these close ups of Eddie's face makes me wanna do a study on him, just draw him a million times for the fun of it, and i will! Tom Hardy is a beautiful man!)

either venom is fully acting as shoes or Eddie is wear the most busted up pair of crocs i have ever seen and both options are so great. either way- KICK! that guy is GONE you even see him slouched against the wall, surrounded by bricks in a later scene, Venom and Eddie are not messing around this movie!

I- hhhhh. ok. I'm ok. Yeah these two are NOT messing around, Eddie could not care less about these dudes, there is no hesitating, no guilt, no fear in this man's expression AND I LOVE IT <333 GET ANGRY! GET SCARY!!!

AND WE HAVE THE BOI. THERE HE IS!!! the roar sounds different too i think, it's very cool tho, feels like a shrill, higher pitch than i expected but i don't dislike it

let the dogs be free! they immediately start attacking those guys and i love it <3 doggy :3

AND EDDIE IS FIGHTING TOO WOOOOO i need to redraw all of these frame cause WHEW! making me blush with these shot compositions, so good. so much trust, Eddie knows Venom will keep him safe and jumps in! literally! i adore how Venom's head is following him too, it's so creepy, the way it just slithers through the air, I wish to send all my love to the teams who work on Venom, there are so many points from the trailer and the first 2 movies that I wanna dissect, just to point out all his little movements, very fun

speaking of his little movements- squinty eyes :3 and the half venom, half eddie face again! always a win, forever iconic <3

tearing apart this venom scene OK! the little tendrils by Eddie's face, the way they move around is so UGH its so weird and i adore it! This "pose" is also fun because we really get to see the inside of Venom's mouth, most importantly his teeeeeth, in a long, pretty still shot that isn't when his mouth is wide open, the artist in me is loving it

also the team always does an amazing job on just making Venom look alien- the thick veins, the shiny black skin, and the tendrils that are holding up the bad guy split apart, instead of being just one tentacle, very gross, but in a good way

E: "We.. are..-" V: "WE ARE VENOM!" E: "We.. are..-" V: "VENOM!!" E: "No.."

They share one braincell, holy fudge, I love symbrock fjdkslfjsdk

and Eddie just keeps trying! same tone, same level, and Venom is so excited

V: "Oh!"

(I also love these shots because we get a nice close up of how Venom's mouth moves when pronouncing words)

E: "Yeah.. We.." V: "We.." E + V: "are... Venom." E: "...We really need to work on that."

and they get there eventually lmao, the way they say it is so in sync, even the eye movements are the same, how they open wider, and THE VOICES hhhh the voices.,,.. Tom Hardy is such a good. voice actor? in this sense ig.. i am on the ground, pure joy with how Eddie and Venom's voices overlap here

and Venom goes to town! lovely meal <3 getting a meal with the bf <3

I am LOOKING oh my goodness his mouth can open WIDE... normal feelings rn, yup, mhm!

doggy :D dog friends :D also Eddie no shot you stole that guy's shoes lmao??? nice boots tho (as someone who wears cowboy boots often, i would love to see Eddie in a full outfit.. putting that in the drawing idea list...)

V: "DELICIOUS! You take me to all the finest places!"

see! dinner date! :3 I can just hear the smile on Venom, i love when he's happy

and the world's most pathetic wet cat of a man (I say with the upmost affection) is back!

more proof that Eddie is never NOT sweating and that Tom Hardy's Eddie voice has the most confusing accent- i think he's saying

E: "Honey, I don't know."

but he could very well just be stuttering, or maybe he stopped midway and instead said "I need- I don't know." but i'm hoping they're at the point of pet names, go full comic, let Eddie call Venom "love" and "dear" and "my darling"

[Edit- thank you @.bridoesotherjunk for pointing out that he says "I need a Tylenol." i need better listening comprehension i guess??? lol?]

i don't know 100% of the Venom lore, still have tons of comics to read, so i won't talk much about the potential storyline here but- 4 SYMBIOTES!! maybe maybe maybe the Life Foundation Symbiotes... these babies got some funky colors.. they already used the name Riot but these 4 could be Lasher, Phage, Scream and Agony if i pray hard enough, the colors don't match but i can dream!

totally not emotional over this little bit of Venom that was left behind from that one after credits scene trying to bond with a host gently. yup yeah my heart isn't hurting at all!

LET MY BOY GO, HE DID NO WRONG!!!

my favorite local cryptid, what a creature

and he changed! finally! nice shirt tho, buttoned up only part way? the HAIR??? good stuff

fire seems to be a known weakness now, looking at the background, and i can't guess what they're looking up at, Eddie does speed up for it tho. I'm gonna say either a helicopter or something else they're gonna try and jump up to? Venom does go-

V: "OH SHIT"

during this scene so maybe it's one of those Symbiotes from before? Who knows, I could guess a hundred things but idk

THE WATER SCENE!! FROM THAT ONE BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTO TOM HARDY POSTED!!!

Venom in the last bit and Eddie being just himself if the first portion of these clips show that these guys 100% know what they're doing and have some sort of device (shown in the right image) that is capable of doing some crazy damage to Venom! Which! Oh no!!! I enjoy fight scenes underwater tho (Looks at Godzilla), very hyped for this one, I really wanna see how Venom swims. Yeah that sounds a bit weird but like. no way he's swimming like a human, c'mon now

E: "We are living the dream, my friend V: "You mean it?!" E: "NO."

Can't get over Venom's delivery here, he sounds so genuinely, it made me laugh, especially to how exhausted Eddie sounds lmao

LAS VEGAS??? y'all guessed right, they really are gonna get married in vegas,,

Eddie in a suit, HELLO??? my guy is looking snazzy! really tho, he looks so nice a suit, the BLACK AND WHITE suit? perfect. I saw people saying that they hope that Venom is the suit and just. me too..

MRS. CHEN RETURNS omg this cast are all so <333 she is GORGEOUS that dress is beautiful on her AND HER HAIR Mrs. Chen my beloved

Mrs. Chen sounds so happy to see Eddie, and Venom also very excitedly say hi, my heart is going to burst, it is overflowing, this part of the trailer makes me smile so much AND THEN THEY DANCE WITH EACH OTHER!!! I know it's called The Last Dance but I was not expecting a dance with Mrs. Chen??? I am more than ok with this tho, Venom and Mrs. Chen, dancing on the stairs, they look so happy, they're having such a good time i can't, my heart can't take this <3

AND LOOK HOW THEY HOLD HER HANDS.. they... they care about each other so much i'm going to cry in the theaters- no i'm gonna cry NOW.

is that a xenophage i see??? that thing is HUGE HUH??? i fully understand Venom in this (side note, i ADORE how Venom goes "JESUS CHRIST" upon seeing this thing, the line delivery get's better every film, that was so genuine) this design is insane tho, i might spend some time doing a study on it

Toxin is here! YIPPEE!!! love the voice, thought it was Venom for a second the first time i watch this but its pretty good

I have no clue who the people are that are in this tower thing, I've seen a few theories but i ain't embarrassing myself by guessing wrong here lmao

(running out of image spaces sorry!)

in the clip of Venom walking into this lab (?) and then getting violently shot at, is it just me or does Venom seem small? I'm guessing the door is just really big but like. idk maybe i'm just mixing up my Venoms and thinking that he's not as big as I remember

really quick cut of what may be 2 more Symbiotes like the 4 from earlier? maybe they're the same and are just changing colors, maybe they're new, who knows! I love their colors tho, the one on the right (in the clip) looks like it's blue and pink and i think that's cute

Xenophage breaks into this lab, love that for her, she is still terrifying!

E: "We may not make it out of this alive, buddy."

haha what do you mean by that king?

V: "Eddie... the time has come..."

HAHA PAUSE. uhm. he said the same thing last time at the end of Let There Be Carnage and Eddie didn't let him go but, istg, IF THEY DIE AT THE END OF THIS MOVIE. i know its the last of the trilogy BUT THEY DON'T NEED TO DIE, SONY, MARVEL, DON'T DO THIS TO ME. i am going cry violently at the writers... i don't think i will ever stop crying if they die at the end

they're in this busted up helicopter, already intriguing, but when it zooms in on Eddie's face, he's tearing up??? this movie is checking off every emotion, i need to remember to stay hydrated before i go see it, i will cry so much

I don't even think i'll be able to handle just one of them dying, the end of the first movie made me tear up the first time i saw it, and that was before i was as insane about them as i am now, i will be UNWELL in the theater

And last but certainly not least. HORSE VENOM WOOOOOO

the design for this things is insane, i didn't think i'd ever wanna draw a horse in my life but like.. kinda changing my mind ngl (weird detail, Venom horse has hands and feet and not hooves!)

E: "Be honest with me, how fast do you think you can make that thing go, without killing it?" V: "..ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!"

Venom sounds a bit muffled in this clip which makes it a bit more funny to me, i won't lie. Eddie is hanging on FOR HIS LIFE THOUGH, geez i know he said "how fast" but Eddie gets LAUNCHED OFF VENOM when they go over that cliff. fun reference to the first movie, how Venom grabs onto Eddie as he flies up, like on the motorcycle <3

this horse scene has to be earlier on because Eddie is in The Outfit and is also not wearing shoes??? i refuse to believe he'd put it back on, and in the helicopter-"it is time" clip, Eddie is wearing that white shirt, which looks like the undershirt to the suit (maybe) so the Las Vegas scene happens before them running from the explosion/fire.

oh right, the song that's playing? Space Oddity by David Bowie? yeah it's about an astronaut dying along in space.... which... is not very comforting...

god this trailer makes me so hyped, October cannot come faster i need this movie NOW. please.

man the trailer is kinda confusing, i'm already making guesses on where things happen and what the context could be, but literally anything could happen in this film. there are so many things that just don't make sense yet and it's hurting my brain I JUST WANNA KNOW! are those new Symbiotes or not? What even is the plot? Will Eddie and Venom profess their love to each other? Will Sleeper be real? How many times will this movie make me cry? Only time will tell

...and it's only the first trailer! head so full of thoughts, heart so full of emotions!

for the ask game

💊, 🍄, and who u watch with

ooh, three questions in one ask. I like this.

before I start. I literally can’t decide between Oscar and Lando as my favorite drivers - but luckily you asked two questions about favorite drivers, so I'll answer one with Lando and the other with Oscar :)) hope, that’s alright.

💊 what’s one narrative/take about your favourite driver that annoys you?

this one was made for Lando. I don’t even know where to start. and the word annoying isn't nearly enough to describe my feelings about this but here's my answer.

first and foremost it's discrediting him just because he is brave enough to openly talk about mental health; his own struggles in particular. starting with the comments from Helmut last year all the way to some assholes in comment sections online. in a world as cruel and chaotic as this we should be happy to have people like him. people who know what they're talking about - even tho that is nothing I wish on anyone. mental health issues are a terrible thing to have -, who speak on everyone else's behalf, who are famous enough to reach many people, to draw attention to a problem as big as the mental health topic. people who use their status for something good.

instead he recieves all these unnecessary comments and hate (...hate is always unnecessary but you know what I mean). it’s like nothing he does will ever be enough. and the fact that all these people are in no place to have an opinion like that. most of them have close to no idea what they're talking about and idk if they know what their statements do to him - because they are getting to him one way or another, there is no way around - but either way they should be ashamed of themselves. in no situation is it okay to bring someone down - even further - with hateful comments.

the fact that Lando speaks so openly about his struggles, about how he overanalyzes things and how adamant he is about learning from his mistakes and getting it right definitely makes him WDC material. it's everything that's usually used against him and I'm sick of reading all of this. if you don't have anything nice to say or can at least help with constructive criticism, shut your damn mouth.

🍄 if you could ask your favourite driver a question, what would you ask?

if I were to meet Oscar I probably wouldn’t be able to say anything, let alone form a thought coherent enough to actually get a suitable question out of my mouth.

the first one that comes to mind would be if it'd be okay to get a selfie with him. or if he could sign smth for me. but that's boring and honestly if I get a few moments to actually ask him a question I'd want it to count as something worth his time.

maybe I'd ask him how he keeps as calm as he is. or if he himself really feels as calm as he appears all the time or if he knows how amazing he is and that he changed so many people's lives for the better.

but I'd also want to know if his hair is as fluffy as it looks or I'd ask him about the heart eyes he has for Lando. and that fond look. and if he'd like to elaborate on that. that would be quite interesting tbh.

📺 who do you watch f1 with?

I usually watch it alone - to be able to shout at anything that happens without giving it a second thought.

but sometimes when my boyfriend's over on race day we watch it together. he's actually the one who introduced me to the rabbit hole that is f1. so he now has to live with me being overly excited about anything f1.

inarizaki 2nd year trio reacting to you being in the community, part one (suna😋)

a/n: hihi, i'm really excited for this :) not proofread 🥲 light swearing! this are tickle headcanons, if you aren't comfy with that then scroll

~suna~

-ahh my favorite💞

-there's two ways he would find out, and it could go either way. one: he's being a sneaky little shit and snoops on your phone, finding your tumblr, or two: you find the courage to tell him after building enough trust with him :)

-the first way would go like this: you're at his house, or he's at yours, and you had to go do something, ion know like maybe you went to get something to eat or get water, and you leave your phone in the room with him. BIGGGG MISTAKE MAN

-y'all knew each others passwords but didn't do much with it unless you were mad or somethin or felt the need to check on eachother if u don't open up abt smt, but suna was a little suspicious, cuz you were acting really flustered around him lately. a little jumpy whenever he touched you, more sensitive if you must

-so he got on your phone, the last thing you had opened being tumblr, more specifically a tickle fic.

-bro let out the most sinister giggle 💀 heard your footsteps, quickly putting your phone back where it was and later back, awaiting your arrival

-as you walk in and sit down beside him, grabbing your phone and swiftly closing the app, you show him a video, he sneaks in a light pinch to your ribs as he wraps his arm around you

-causing you to giggle and cover your mouth, he looks at you and does it again. as you look away and "try" to push his hand away, he intertwines his fingers with urs and js smiles at you bc it's so adorable‼️‼️

-"what, you're really gonna try to push me away even though you love it?"

-you're so caught off guard hehe🤭 once he reassures you that he finds it utterly adorable and not weird at all, you feel more confident about it with him. he'll give you tickles whenever you want, but don't think he won't make you ask for it :)

aight aight so the SECOND way, if youre able to tell him, this is how it'd go ‼️

-i feel like he would kinda tease you abt it at first if you're embarrassed to tell him

-like he'd make sure u don't think he's judging u tho

-ykk maybe later on he tells u he doesn't mind it either ("doesn't mind"= likes it)

-he'd be the type to text u teases or like wiggle his fingers at u in a public place bc obviously no one else would get it and then if someone notices ur flustered? bro u js gotta thug it out man😭🙏🏻

-he'd probably be accommodating about it too like if ur brave enough to tell him u want it softer or rougher/more playful he would comply, he loves ur smile/laugh bestie😋

-he might record it too, or take a picture of your smiling face to either embarrass you or bc he wants to be able to see ur adorable smile even when he's not with you (even if it's to embarrass u he still keeps it bc he loves ur smile)

-if you're insecure about ur smile/laugh tho? that's js smt else. he'll tk you and make you admit ur smile is adorable, or that u have an adorable laugh✨ he js can't stand seeing his bsf/parter being insecure abt themselves🙄

THATS ALLLL BYEBYE ILY ALL (@giggly-squiggily i think u said u would like me to tag u when i post tk headcanons for this, way back when i had the idea lolol)

[saltydkdan]

Yo, Salt man. Decided to finally bite the bullet and dive into One Piece. Currently on Volume 4/Chapter 27 of the manga (also episode 2 of the Netflix live-action, really good ngl). I'm excited to read it, but the sheer length of the manga is extremely daunting to me, and I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth reading at this point. Dunno if you got any sort of tips or such to help someone like me through this, or at least boost morale?

Don’t worry! I felt the exact same way. The length of One Piece can feel really daunting when you start. However here is what I tell people to keep in mind:

Get to Arlong Park

This is what EVERYONE SAYS. But it really is true. Get to Arlong Park, and if you enjoy it, then you will 100% love this series. Arlong Park is the arc where One Piece starts to really become what it is known for (and in some senses Baratie too). And what’s cool is that as someone who has caught up, Arlong Park isn’t even my favorite anymore, far from it. Arlong Park made me a fan, but later stuff like Alabasta, Skypeia, and Water 7 especially made me HYPER FOCUS on the series.

Basically if you think Arlong Park and stuff like Baratie is good, it really only goes up from there, as it’s more or less a taste of what you’ll be getting as Oda develops the story. If you don’t like it tho? No harm no foul! You’re allowed to feel however you want! You can move on to something else if you feel like and that’s super okay. Though based on your current reactions I feel like you are def gonna like it LMAO.

You don’t have to binge ALL of it

You are totally allowed to pick it up and read a saga and then put it down to switch to something else for a bit. In fact, if you do find yourself getting too tired at points, def switch it up with another series, TV show, or video game! Nobody expects you to finish reading it in a month or something. It took me a full year to catch up after jumping on and off of it and I had a blast because I didn’t force it!

There’s a reason that the series is broken up into arcs and sagas! The end of a Saga specifically is meant to be a very good break point for you to do something else if you like!

And trust me, if you’re anything like me, you won’t want it to end. After I passed chapter 1,000 I had a sudden violent awakening that I was going to catch up and become a week to week reader and I got really sad LOL.

Being a One Piece reader feels rewarding!

This is something I would have loved to know going in, but reading/watching One Piece (especially nowadays) feels like an insanely rewarding experience.

I have no idea how Oda pulls it off, but there is information that is as immediate as Chapter 1 that is still relevant all these years later in Chapter 1,000+, it really feels rewarding to be into the series for so long.

I’ve never read or watched anything THIS LONG that rewards the reader like this, it’s so fun. And it’s also something that makes One Piece great to re-read or re-watch.

There are so many fun twists, turns, and reveals that are either foreshadowed, or established in a very small way early on. I can’t emphasize harder how fun and connected it makes everything feel.

I call it the opposite of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Because while Jojo will constantly reset itself with a new cast and characters every arc, instead One Piece doubles down, and is still revealing massive bombshells that we’re hinted at ages ago.

The series does show it’s age at times

I don’t like ending stuff on a bad note, but I like to let people know to keep in mind that One Piece has been running for a LONG time, and this can be both good and bad.

It’s good in the sense that I think it gets better and better over time, but bad in the sense that it does feature a couple of outdated depictions, as well as “Pervy” anime-esque humor that I honestly cannot enjoy personally. Just make sure you’re aware going in because some of it has aged… horribly.

That being said though, when One Piece gets depictions right it gets them SOOOO right.

There’s a reason that there’s an ongoing joke in the community that “Luffy would have died multiple times over if not for the Queer Community” lol it’s extremely correct

Reward yourself with the side content

One of my favorite things to do, is after I caught up to a certain point in the manga, is that I rewarded myself by watching one of the One Piece Films from around that time.

It’s a great thing to use as a rewarding little checkpoint and be like “Omg now that I’m this far, I can enjoy this fun animated film without fear of spoilers”.

And while a good chunk of films are very obviously not canon and don’t clearly fit into the overall story (I.e. there is not a good space for them to canonically exist) some of them actually do fit super well, and in my opinion, even add greatly to the overall story.

A big favorite of mine, One Piece: Baron Omatsuri, fits this description like a glove. Not only does it easily fit between the sagas of Skypeia and Water 7, but it even adds to the later themes of the story, and even foreshadows certain elements later on in a super fun way! Plus it’s one of the only One Piece films to have a very experimental direction, created by the guy who made Summer Wars. It feels very different, but in a super fun way, and works as a great little treat for getting as far as you have in the manga!

Anyway, I hope that this helps you out? Remember it isn’t a race, and you can pick up and put down the series whenever you want! There’s absolutely no pressure at all.

A part of me wants to kind of make a “read/watch list” for people who get into the series based off my own recommendation/experience. Obviously everyone is going to read and watch the anime in order, but it would probably be cool to know when you can check out certain side content like Anime-only specials and animated films during your read-through.

If anybody wants that let me know! (I’ll probably end up making it on my own time anyway I have zero self control).

Anyway yeah, enjoy One Piece!

[raayllum]

Love that even tho ur a popular blog in the fandom u realize that u clown sometimes too and make fun of urself, very demure very mindful as the kids say

is this a safe space to say that despite being gen z myself i still don't know what very demure very mindful means

(looked it and gasp that's genuinely very sweet thank you!! i certainly Try, don't always succeed but i definitely appreciate being appreciated)

i just think it's very important in life to being able to make fun of yourself without being mean to yourself, y'know? at the end of the day basically any fandom is just not that serious and certainly not something to attach self worth / wellbeing to. i did not ask to be a 'popular' blog and sometimes i wish i wasn't, admittedly, but overall i think i do a good job at chilling in my corner and maintaining a corner to chill.

like all my metas are either written in full context (ie. talking about s5 when we have all of s5) or with the caveat that this is the context and understanding i have right now in speculating in the future. there could be curveballs or information withheld or times where my vision just doesn't match up wth the crew's vision (throwback to me thinking Leola would be a family member of Aaravos but specifically Not His Child bc of Sir Sparklepuff and Claudia), and like. that's all good and fun and okay? any time the show has done something that wasn't my preference or didn't work for me the first time (aka there were like 3 things in s6) i assume i'm wrong and go looking for reasons as to "why would they do this" and i'm always satisfied with the answers i find in some manner; either it makes me Love what they did or i'm well aware it's a fucking nitpick to begin with (what does anyone at the Starscraper eat? i need to know). i'm down to recontextualize and re-evaluate and take things as they come (aka i've started my pre-season "let go of all expectations" ritual)

i think some of that comes from 1) being very emotionally detached from analysis overall and 2) subsequently not really caring how or why certain associations/themes come back, just that they do. part of that comes from being trained to leave how a work makes me feel (besides genre aspects like the grotesque or sublime) at the door (like i hated jane eyre being 18 and her happy ending being with her shitty 40 year old employer, but those feelings literally do no matter if i'm gonna Analyze the text like 90% of the time) and/or having to teach my students to think about relatability and then also think beyond it. this also goes for queer representation; i don't like or relate to all queer representation i've seen, like double trouble in she-ra as a nonbinary person, but i don't have to for it meaningful and worthwhile for someone else, including the writers and the character successfully encompassing what they were trying to do, and i think co-existing with those aspects is worthwhile too.

like for example i hope going into s7 that either my pet theory CHET happens in some manner (like the way it did in 5x08) or i know definitively without a doubt that it's not happening in the future and that time has passed so that i can theorize and move onto other things in TDP. or like, i always thought it'd be cool if Callum had freed Aaravos and that would still probably be my preference of Callum's freedom associations, but I mostly just want those associations between him and Aaravos to go somewhere. maybe it's in a shattering world order thing, maybe they're subverted (callum is freed and he traps aaravos or something) but as long as they eventually go somewhere, it's gouda? whenever i'm right it's a lot of fun and it is rewarding, don't get me wrong; it's exciting and a confidence boost that i'm good at analyzing this specific story, but it's not why i theorize (i'm journey not destination focused) nor is it why i put time into fandom, i'm here to have fun and accept the story for what it is as it comes to me, partially because i hope people do the same with the stories i tell someday

after all, stories and fandom are here to bring us joy, fun, and catharsis. if they're not doing that, then we gotta do something different

[clanofjones]

MERRY (late) CHRISTMAS!

I started this on Chrismas Eve and I just finished it five minutes ago, but I think it's pretty good nonetheless! Quality got scrambled tho, so click for better quality LOL

L to R: (I am sorry for the tag if you don't celebrate or didn't want to be in this, I will do my best to change it if that it the case)

@fanatess, @theosb0rnway, @3mutantsinatrenchcoat, @paytato435, @karonkar, me, @delicatechildwitch, @allyheart707, @friskebits, @zeawesomeness, @tinker-the-dragon, @yelenapines, @justletmereadmycomics

There are so many others I wanted to include, but my canvas is not that big! I love you all regardless!

For those pictured, I am feeling sentimental, so have a nice sentiment under the cut ^^

Fanatess: You are always super sweet to me, and you let me rant about silly tropes and fic ideas! Thank you so much. (Fun fact, I own the tree hat in the art, and it gives me 'you' vibes)

Oz: Oh my god, literally where to start. You are absolutely amazing, and I have to thank you so, so much for letting me rant about random crap, even if it makes no sense. You’re like. The best person I could have made an AU with.

Three: Gotta say, I don't really know you all that well, but what I do know is that you are so kind and awesome. Your asks always brighten my day, and it's always awesome to talk to you!

Payto: They say great minds think alike. Regarding Casey Junior, I think we might be thinking exactly the same. LOL. Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off of you regarding the best boy. We've taken over the "au-rant" channel and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kar: You are like. SO COOL. I stand by that statement. You are one of the coolest people I’ve met online, and my brain straight-up short-circuits when I remember 'yes, we are friends with this guy, and this guy knows we exist. Holy shit.' Weird world, ammarite?

Me: SELF LOVE, you guys! If this many awesome people care about me, then I'm probably pretty awesome too, right? YAY! Friends!!

Ally: If our server had a yearbook, you’d win “kindest person” or whatever the actual title is. You get the point! You are always so kind and inspiring to me, and thank you for the extra encouragement to actually finish this!!

Del: You are so sweet and kind and creative it's unreal! It's been so fun so far getting to interact with you and I look forward to more of it in the New Year!

Frisk: Thanks for somehow always being there. Whenever I shove some janky art or concept into a server, you’re almost always the first one there with encouragement, a compliment, or something to add. Thanks for the extra encouragement on this thing's completion as well!!

Ze: I haven’t interacted with you much, but when I have, you have been nothing but nice and welcoming! If we’re being honest, I was pretty nervous but you’ve been super cool to me, and it means a lot!

Tinker: It’s always crazy when you share fandoms with the gang outside of The Main, Soul Encompassing One, and I find it so fun to have someone else to discuss them with! Hatchetfield and TMNT enjoyers unite! *high-fives you* You've also got such good takes!

Yelena: If not for you, I wouldn't be on Tumblr at all in the first place! For that, you've earned a place in my hall of fame. I know we don't talk often anymore, but it's always so exciting when I see you on my dash!

justletmereadmycomics: (slightly embarrassing, but I don't know a name to call you by ._.) You are one of my closest beloved mutuals! I have loved getting to know you, it always warms my heart whenever I see you in my activity! You are so funny and smart, keep just being you!

You're all so smart and creative, it bewilders me how we met in the first place! Either way, I'm so grateful for it, and I wish you all nothing but the best in the New Year!!

book rambling don't mind me

the book kept saying anharion was his title... so was that also his name? did his name become a title when the Betrayal happened? does "anharion" translate to Betrayer or is that just what he's known as? was it a mistranslation from the old language? edit: I just reread the part where sarcean said he used to be called something else and now I feel like that's going to give away the whole ~is he the sun prince~ thing

I've seen some theories about the Collar and to what extent it actually controls james and like. as much as it would be less big and exciting to see it this way... what if the Collar is mostly symbolic? bc sarcean can talk people into doing what he wants anyway and james was obviously not immune to the charm (it's magnified for him even) well before will knew anything about himself or his powers so what if the collar was just a way to show other people that anharion belonged to him? but GOD if this moral stronghold of not wanting to manipulate james into kissing him and wanting him to do it of his own free will stops these boys from having a lil smooch for the majority of the third book I will Die

I've also seen people try to draw lines between will/sarcean and james/anharion as far as their past/present personalities and the consensus seems to be that will has a more clear line between himself and sarcean but I saw someone say it was more like intrusive thoughts and I think that's fascinating, also that will is seeing james and not anharion the betrayer when he looks at james but james in every sense is this cocky little asshole (affectionate) who flirts and uses his powers to take advantage of people while anharion in the past wasn't like that sooooo I think will isn't Seeing james as who he is I think he's seeing anharion for who he used to be before he turned against sarcean. which is so interesting when you think about will saying people shouldn't be judged by what they've done but what they can do

the tangled web of who hates who is so messy but I trust violet to, if not outright take will's side, then to convince the others to let him go like banish him or whatever instead of killing him right away (even if james's powers would physically protect him from that I just need violet to believe in him)

I'm still thinking about little 6 year old will setting a rich fucker's clothes on fire bc he laid his hands on a woman who was nice to him, how violet saved his life and he's spent every day after that trying to return the favor including using a newfound power he doesn't know how to control yet to set her free from a cage in another country

can't wait to see how the narratives shift when we get other perspectives on what the past was really like bc from what I can tell sarcean and the lady weren't really In Love they just had a fling one time

on that note I thought will was switched out for the girls somehow when they were kids but elizabeth was told her mother had a son before her and she believes that son is will, which would mean will is both blood of the lady and the dark king, which brings to question who his dad is bc they said it wasn't simon but I don't think his birth was a virgin mary situation, also I know sarcean got around but are will and simon's family related any closer than one ancestor thousands of years ago? is sinclair will's father?

I don't think tom and violet will fight to the death, tom may die in another way tho

what's the fourth kingdom and how does that pay into this? bc the first gate was in england the second was underwater somewhere and the third is in italy so the fourth...? on that note there must be more stewards alive who weren't in the hall when it was torn through, people who either left that life behind, or like cyprian at the beginning who didn't drink from the cup but still follow the lifestyle, or maybe like small covens of stewards who never went to the hall bc they found their own communities elsewhere idk it's just very eurocentric to think everyone from everywhere would meet up in this one place when the whole rest of the world exists

will needs some alone time after all this someone give him a safe place to rest and a hot drink

phillip and visander... and the unicorn....... love triangle of the ages... (I wonder if visander will find his way back into a man's body somehow or if he's stuck looking like katherine forever lol) (realistically. I don't think this man fucked his horse. but. metaphorically? metaphysically? whatever they had was probably as erotically charged as that magic scene right?)

[theninthdoor]

i know your requests are closed but have you done a love life reading for skz? if so can you link it thanks!

I haven't done one yet, but here it is (also since there are a couple of other people asking for it)!

btw- I'm back on my stray kids bs, so ask me all you want about them!! I'm really excited to read on them 💃🏻

Bang Chan || the magician, six of wands: I think he's talking to/seeing someone right now, but nothing's official. This reads as the talking stages of a relationship - although I don't think there are any real romantic feelings as of yet. If anything, he found someone who fits into his "ideal type" or he's really enjoying getting to know that person and learning about their life and interests. He's just kinda fascinated with them, in a way?

Lee Know || three of cups rx, page of cups: So… does he have a crush on someone who's already taken OR is there a third party involved in his relationship with someone?? Either way, we're seeing 3 people over here, and Lee Know in his feelings over someone. A romantic confession has been made or is yet to be made, and I'd confidently say it's coming from him towards someone else. (mind you- this could also be talking about 1 person entertaining both him and someone else, whether he knows it or not!! he's being naive with his situation, so there's that…)

Changbin || three of wands, two of swords: I feel like he's single, to be honest… Changbin is focused on his wants and needs, and seems to have decided to stop sacrificing those in the name of love. It's all about personal development and choosing his peace. He's not searching for love; love must find him wherever he is.

Hyunjin || two of swords, three of wands (the temperance - to clarify why the repeated cards): ?? Is Hyunjin in on it with Changbin? Are they on a personal development journey together? He's trying to find balance and peace in his life. This also reminds me of when someone decides to start going to the gym in order to get their ideal figure, so they can date or flirt more confidently - does that make sense?? He's just trying to better himself and, until he reaches his desired goals, he's not letting relationships distract him.

Han || the hanged man, six of pentacles: He's single, I'd say, but there are some options available for him. Friends might be trying to set him up with someone or he could be trying to get someone's contact. Either way, he's not in a rush to enter a new relationship or make anything official with anyone.

Felix || three of swords, six of swords: He's currently getting over someone/a relationship that left him really heartbroken. He's focused on healing - that's all… very clear and short. Wish him the best!

Seungmin || the emperor, the empress: I- this man is very serious about someone right now… he's thinking long-term, family, building a legacy together. He feels like he found his perfect match! However, bottom of the deck was 7 of cups, so I'm not too sure if he's ACTUALLY in a relationship with this person. I mean- he could be, but 70% is illusions and daydreaming. I heard "playing house", so that could also be the case?

I.N || the star, queen of swords: Mtl single and fine with it. He's comfortable with his current situation and is very focused on himself, it seems. Could be crushing on a specific person, tho (potential air sign/aquarius placements, given the cards).

[purpleandstarlight]

Don't ask me why I thought of this (I don't even know) but I feel like if Ciel and Lizzie tried to discuss a book...they could but it would be something like:

Ciel: [Brings an extremely insightful although quite edgy at times analysis of the characters and overall theme of the story.]

Lizzie: [She liked the book but was there for the vibe, didn't really think to analyze anything much]

(This ISN'T a "Lizzie is stupid" post. I love Lizzie. She's really smart and capable and if anyone even so much DARES to talk shit about her in those extremely misogynistic or Clearly-didnt-understand-her-character-at-all ways they usually do i WILL become feral.)

People can just like media without needing to over-analyze every detail. I know, it's different from what me and everyone else who's reading this post is used to, but it's something that happens. I get subjected to it every time i watch a show with my mum and I immediately get into deep analysis of the characters and their reasoning for doing things and my mum listens to my reasoning and likes the show but if I ask her a question about what she thinks about a character or smth she's there like "Idk I'm just following the show" WICH IS FINE!! IT DOESNT MEAN SHE ISN'T UNDERSTANDING THE OVERALL MESSAGE OR STORY OF THE SHOW!! SHE JUST DOESN'T JUMP AT THE IDEA OF GOING INTO OVER-ANALYZING EVERY SINGLE BREATH A CHARACTER MAKES THE WAY I DO!!! IT DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S STUPID!!!

So yeah. Although Lizzie would be different from my mum in the way that Lizzie would be able to point out her favorite or least favorite characters clearly - saying what she liked and disliked about them, and even enthusiastically comment on wich scenes she liked the most, wich means she and Ciel could actually have a two-way conversation that isn't like what me and my mum usually do (Me talking non-stop about themes and symbolism and what I think a scene could relate to irl while my mum happily but still silently listens - wich is also fine mind you, I just mean Ciel and Lizzie would go at it differently)

Also i know Ciel and Lizzie would probably prefer different kinds of literature but imo they would be able to find a middle ground. Ciel prefers darker stories, yes, but i believe he himself said he reads almost anything to keep up with what people like for his business, and either way he would compromise for Lizzie. He wouldn't MAKE her read something that could greatly upset her, just like she wouldn't MAKE him read something that is completely out of his interests, like a cheesy romantic novel that would bore him out of his mind five chapters in. They are pretty good at respecting eachother's boundaries most of the time, I feel.

So like...idk, Alice in Wonderland? Lizzie would like the vibes and overall fun colorful story. Ciel could maybe appreciate the non-sense theme in how everything works differently (as in he would sit there, compare it to things irl, and try to understand how the author got to the wilder ideas from there) and also compare it to how things work in the real world. (I haven't read Alice in Wonderland since I was really little - like late elementary or early middle school, so keep in mind I'm not an expert who could give a more exhaustive theory)

I have not read Sherlock Holmes ever (I tried once tho! And I do own some of the books!! I just never got around to reading more than a chapter or smth YEARS ago) so idk how Lizzie would find it, but it IS o!Ciel's favorite author and he loves these books very much so I feel like Lizzie would want to give them a shot. Ciel lets her because although it is a murder mystery, it's not a fully horror novel (be it flat out gore or psychological horror) - (...and also he is excited about talking about these books with someone he's close with, so he gladly takes a risk promising to himself he'll just stop her if she gets too upset about the deaths. You didn't hear it from me though).

[armando-triplepapito]

Camila being close to Marcela is so random, like how does it get to the point where your daughter is besties with her dad's former fiancé especially considering how things went down? 💀 And if she actually prefers Marcela over Betty that will be insane, I hope they don't go for that route. This is just lazy on the writer's part, why not have her be close to Armando's long lost sister? They could have introduced that character. Marcela for sure changed, at least I hope she did and healed and even married someone else tho I haven't heard anything about that.

It looks like Patricia and Nicolás definitely got together. And she is either pregnant or was at some point because people zoomed in on a portion of the script Lorna was holding on a IG story she shared and it said something about a pregnancy. Not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, Gaitán must have had a good reason to avoid getting them together. I mean Patricia hardly changed her ways during the original run, but I've also heard that during the failed sequel, Ecomoda, the original plan was to bring Marcela and Patricia back at some point, but I don't know how accurate this is.

So far, I agree with you that this looks like a cash grab. It seems to me that AMO and JEA had wanted to do something together for years, but it didn't materialize until Betty was back on the table. This is why I hope that at least their chemistry is on point so at least this will be its saving grace, a couple of love scenes won't either, just putting it out there 🤭 But it there's tension between them since the beginning, and then Armando's memory loss plot is introduced, and we spend the rest of the episodes seeing Betty trying to make him fall in love with her again, probably there won't be as many romantic moments that truly reflect how their relationship has fared over time. Oh well, I'm not trying to get my hopes up, but I'm sure I will still be disappointed 😂 don't want to spread any negativity tho, you are such a sweetheart and don't want to spoil this for you if you are excited. Thank you for reading, have a good day 🌷

It’s so random!! I don’t even know how B&A even let that happen!! If I were Betty I would never let my child near Marcela! Yea maybe Marcela has matured and changed her ways but I would still be wary. Afterall you never know what an ex might do or say to your child just to get revenge on you. If I were Marcela I’d definitely tell Camila that her mom is a home-wrecker (even tho that’s not true) just to cause drama😗. They better not go with that route. If Camila ever chooses Marcela over Betty imma riot! If anything I would love to see Camila close with Armando’s sister afterall she was technically named after her! But I have low expectations from the writers😑

It’s been confirmed by Natalia Ramirez that Marcela is divorced. Tbh I kinda find this sad. I was hoping she found her Prince Charming especially after what she went through with Armando. Who knows tho, maybe a side plot of the sequel is Marcela falling in love! That would be lovely ❤️

One of my fav ships in ysblf is Patricia x Nicolás. So I’m kinda happy that they end up together! Tho I doubt she’ll be pregnant during the sequel cause isn’t Patricia in her mid 50s? Isn’t that too late to be pregnant? Maybe she was pregnant and has a kid! That would be exciting! Imagine Patricia with a kid? That’s a sight to see😂. Someone mentioned that Patricia would’ve been a bad mother but idk motherhood can change a person so maybe she changed for the better? It would be interesting if Patricia got pregnant by a rando and Nicolas stepped in and took care of them just like he said he would during ysblf. Tho I understand why they weren’t meant to be during ysblf. They were both fakes so obviously their relationship went no where but things would’ve been different if they restarted their relationship after ysblf afterall they would’ve known each other better.

Ooh my I wonder why they wanted to work together again ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).

I’m so happy they’ve returned together! If there’s one thing that can save the sequel it would definitely be the chemistry between AMO and JEA. I hope we see something spicy in their office🤭 afterall we were robbed from one😭 I think what the writers are going for is for “new love” again. I for one would’ve also love to see how their love fared over time. One thing I’ve hated is how Armando couldn’t read Betty well in ysblf like the day she read the letter. I would’ve loved to see him understand how Betty feels and be able to communicate with her just by watching her. That’s something someone like Armando can only achieve over the years and if he gets amnesia then we’re gonna be robbed of this😭 Once he gets amnesia he’s going revert back to the person who can’t even read the room again. Tbh I’m scared to see asshole Armando again. I’m serious he better not even sniff another women or imma riot! I just hope the writers aren’t complete idiots.

Don’t worry I don’t think you’re spreading negativity or anything! One thing about me is that I love spoilers! You can tell me all the spoilers you want and I’ll eat them up. I like knowing everything before and while I’m watching a series. May be weird but it is what it is😂 hehe thanks for messaging me! I had fun! Have a great day🥰❤️

[universeofchirai]

a hunt for hunger

so I've been watching haikyu and also been more concentrated on studying cause I've been liking it rn. I mean I'm just reading naive set theory rn and it's the one thing that makes me very infuriated and also very satisfied and happy consequently, and nothing quite beats the satisfaction of being able to conquer the concepts of a difficult chapter for example. Yesterday, even tho I couldn't really meet my initial expectations, I fought for 3.5 hours in one stretch and completed a section clearly, and damn it felt so good. To be able to just complete without being fazed by any distractions whatsoever, it's really fucking cool.

so I've been wanting to assess what I really crave for rn.

I've always thought that it's fine if you lose in smth if you try your best, all that matters is trying your best - put it another way, I've always taken the low risk low reward route for a more stable way up till here at the position I am rn. But not just haikyu but recently, I've been thinking of high risk high reward scenarios.

Let me explain. When you're aiming for something yourself, and you compete with yourself, and add to that the mindset of "it's all fine as long as you give it your best; losing is an option" - that's low risk, and low reward, and by this I mean you can probably achieve smth if you try well and hard enough, but it's still nothing in front of the kind of satisfaction, reward, relief, pride and so on that you'd get had you competed with someone else that is much better than you, maybe seeming even unreachable; if you believe that there is no option to lose, "YOU. MUST. WIN.", there's no going back or looking back whatsoever; this puts you in a more focused mindset where you give more than your best, you do beyond your 100%, stretch the limits, but this comes with a high risk - when you're so hellbent on something, the consequence of losing, while it's smth you won't ever think of according to the mindset, practically the consequence can be very shuddering, depressing, to extents that it could break people.

HOWEVER, that IMMENSE INTENSE PRIDE, JOY, SATISFACTION, POWER that you feel if you PULL THIS OFF, now THAT is absolutely UNPARALLELED.

ok I am actually kinda really excited for this. I've never done this before but this seems very fucking exciting.

let's try to stay rational tho - I have a bias for the kind of feelings to expect rn but it's not so simple, as in I'm having haikyu at the back of my mind, and w the same approach, the kinds of feelings would differ from success in either due to the sharp contrast among the situations themselves. In sports, these feelings are very immediate, and very exaggerated even sometimes. But in my field, academia, it isn't exactly that way. And there's also the bigger picture. What I really want to do. Well that shouldn't come in the way but it's smth I should keep in mind.

But the truth remains, I do have a hunger for praise, recognition, respect. I do have a hunger for knowing a lot about my subject, and a hunger of being able to perform very well. A hunger for winning in competition that I'd suppressed really deep within myself in fear of it being self-destructive (it very well can be).

Now here's the thing, I had been grasping for a platform up until I got into my college, now I have a very good platform to stand on and also to relish about. I've proven that I can stably make it here and be alright here. I've grown to a point that I can't be broken down easily at all, heck it'd take a real lot to break me down, if ever. I've grown rather strong in my journey here. And yes that's a bold claim I am willing to make, I have that trust in myself.

So now is really a good time to try out something new, try something out of my character even (at least seemingly), try out something kinda insane for me. I think it's a good time indeed to really put myself in the competition. I'm good enough to thrive on the losses so I'll destroy the way back, there is no looking back, I WANT to feel that JOY, SATISFACTION, PRIDE, RELIEF, TENSION, PRESSURE. I am UP FOR THE CHALLENGE goddamnit. Count me in.

I've always imagined my focus to be a circle of sorts and a combination of a cool blue and white - representing peace. I imagine my focus before any tense situations to help myself remain calm but concentrated and focused. Chirai. To be specific. I named it chirai, it's not just my focus imagination, it goes much deeper, but it stands for everything that is me. Anyway, it's time to add a second element to Chirai. An element of red and orange. A bright to blood red adrenaline representing and a radioactive hyperactive terror inducing alarming emergency yellow-orange to the combination. A terrifying state that I love to be in actually, I have a knack for being extremely at edge, I like that, it drives me and sometimes it's been my driving force for situations that require a lot of willpower and fearlessness. I close my eyes and imagine blood red filling my eyes, the yellow-orange frantically shaking to indicate an emergency state; a state of terror, not for me, but for others. An adrenaline filled recklessness of forgetting everything and driving on your primal desires. A terrifying energy of a bloodthirsty monster of sorts. Now that's the kinda focus I'd want to imagine for competition.

Now chirai peace is still going to be there cause recklessness yields naught, but I'm really excited about trying this new combination. I've seriously never tried this. insane no? maybe I was worried if I should put myself through it, valid. I want to now tho. ok. we'll figure out the other stuff as we go on the way.

And oh boy I'm gonna do it. It all starts from a bold proclamation that you swear on your life and existence, everything about you to fulfill, to complete.

For the time being, while I don't have a very distinct picture of what very particularly I want, I have a few things -

achieve a gpa of 9.5+ this sem.

finish reading my stock of extra books that I've collected.

I realise that this feels and looks kinda stupid. heck it's like smth the booky nerdy freaks would decide to try, a class of ppl I rather despise personally for having nothing going on in their life. For that very reason, I shall add another point. This ought to make things really interesting -

have fun.

now I have no clue how this is gonna pan out but FUCK IT I'm in. Chirai, element of pure rage focus added.

[formula-fun]

i was writing this ask and honestly don't remember if i sent it or not so sorry in advance 😭✋️ i disagree with the previous anon, the problem isnt people focusing on the miscarriage, i think, personally, that people just really like the universe and want to see more, and since things about this story could be spoilers, they ask the hypotheticals (the baby, the pregnancy). At least thats the way i see it. Im equally curious about charles courting max and about max slowly but surely seeing charles as a safe space to kind of get away from everything (🥰) as i am about the baby, but i imagine that would be spoilers and wouldnt ask because maybe you would find it annoying seeing as its going to be in the next chapter. I am really excited about this story, because, like you said, it is a very clear that it's about a growing relationship and your writing and analysis are so so so good. You get us on our toes and dont treat them one dimensionally, I think its very easy to write Max as headstrong and Charles as sweet but you show another side to it (like real people are lol often not one just one thing). Its good tho that you spoke up about anyways so that we know what to focus on. I am curious tho because i wouldnt want to intrude: what are the kind of things that we can send in abt this story without being too invasive? Like I saw some people talking about ivf and you said we should wait and see sooooo maybe not that? Lol 😝

Hope youre having a great day!

Hiiii!!! I'm having a study day, so thank you for giving me a reason to take a break dfjskdfksjdfkdsj I think you're absolutely right, I don't think people mean anything by it and I don't hold it against anyone! It would be nice to not ONLY get asks that are about that, but I'm not upset about it or anything!

Thank you, this is all really sweet <3 and please don't ever worry about annoying me! The only things that annoy me are people telling me what to write, asking nonstop when the update will be or critiquing my work when I didn't ask for it. Anything else is fair game! If you ask something and I don't answer because it'll be in the next chapter I'm never annoyed, I just know you'll have an answer really soon so I don't want to spoil it. It's also helpful sometimes to know what questions people have because it tells me what people are paying attention to and what I need to focus on. So never never annoying! I'm also ridiculously easy to tempt into giving spoilers, it's really sad. If i get a question and don't answer because it's a spoiler but then someone asks me the same thing a second time? I'm probably just spoiling it, because I'm horrible at keeping secrets. So dont worry about it dfjkdfjks don't worry about being invasive either. i literally can't think of a question someone could ask me about this fic that i would consider invasive

(2) Also, previous anon here, but a whole different topic, if its off limits, feel free not to answer. I really like how you capture two people loving each other and not always agreeing but always understanding if that makes any sense?? Like charles probably doesnt like jo but he keeps out of it because he knows max instead of trying to push them apart. I think most people writing a story would go "oh charles should protect max from jo and not let them see each other" but its much more complicated than that, its his father figure still and they dont only have bad moments. The same thing with charles x ferrari. I see a lot of fics where max pushes charles to go to red bull and sure, thats fun to read, but max understanding the deep attachment charles has to ferrari is much nicer. He knows its not only about a wdc, its about charles' father, jules, his relationship with the team etc. Tell me if im wrong but thats just what i observed

thanks!! you're absolutely right <3 that idea is really important to me, that you can't control the people who you love and they don't belong to you. charles knows max loves his dad on his own terms and it's not up to him to get between them, but he can offer Max somewhere soft to land if he ever decides to cut his dad off. and max really just wants to see charles succeed, so if charles' dream is to win with Ferrari then Max wants that too. (and also personally I want that gjfghjgfhjgf) they don't always understand each other's actions, but they can at least do their best to understand each other's feelings, and that's a good way to make a strong supportive relationship. We hope

thanks so much for the ask, you're really kind!! <33 hope you're doing well

[allisonlol]

Hi how are you? First I wanna tell you that your writing is amazing and I really enjoy reading you work. Keep up with it💕

So... can request headcanons (or drabble, whatever you prefer) where the reader asks Nikolai gogol (they're dating) to cut her hair? I think his reaction would be funny cause he seems to care deeply about his hair...

Tysm and also, no pressure!💕💕

a/n: i'm doin pretty good, thank you sm :D this is such a cute req i added some others as well if that's alr <3 it's fitting since yesterday i literally chopped off all my hair lmao, i feel like nanno now hehe

warnings: implied fem reader, no specific hair type or length mentioned

(Nikolai, Dazai, Chuuya) When Their S/O Asks Them to Cut Her Hair

Nikolai

i can't decide if this is a good decision or a disastrous one

granted he does have pretty hair and seems to take good care of it himself but...

i just think that nikolai + a pair of scissors + your hair = a possible disaster

but you were willing to give it a try, apparently

when you told nikolai that you wanted him to cut your hair, his face lit up immediately

throws you into a chair and pulls all the stuff he needs out of his overcoat??

you're starting to have second thoughts that this MIGHT not be the best idea when he literally grabs a chunk of your hair and just...cuts it off

too late to stop now huh 0-0

mf also doesn't let you look in a mirror until the very end?? so ur anxiety was skyrocketing while he does who knows what to your hair

teases you at the end and won't flip the mirror around for you to see so you YANK it out of his hands

but?? you're shocked to see it actually looks?? really good??

bro even styled it for you like damn! nikolai why are you busy being a terrorist when you could be a hairstylist instead!

& depending on the length you wanted it he may have given you a little matching braid like his <3

Dazai

um so we all know how i feel about him

and i'm sorry but there's no way this is turning out the way you wanted it. like why would you even let this man bring scissors near your hair

you'd wanted to change your hair pretty drastically and figured hell, why not ask your bf so you can save money instead of going to a stylist

and sure it's a great idea on the surface, but this is dazai we're talking about

ofc he's all excited about it. won't shut up about how he's going to make you look "better than ever before" ??

dazai's like "i do my own hair so, as you can see, you can trust me" mf all i see is ur goofy ass uneven haircut but ok

another one who won't let you look into the mirror until he's finished

does it in like 10 minutes too?? and that's when you KNOW something's gonna be very wrong

spins your chair around to face the mirror and you're fr flabbergasted. like >:0

pls you jump up from the chair and are ready to start throwing punches ngl!!

let's just say you lost more money afterwards trying to get it fixed than if you'd went to the hairdresser in the first place

Chuuya

aah. my beloved <3

so. you either hate or you love chuuya's hairstyle and i'm one of the mfs that loves it (it is very gorgeous to me??)

n i already know y'all are gonna be like "how ru gonna say dazai's hair is bad but like chuuya's" it's an acquired taste alright

some may call it BAD taste but i think this man knows what he's doing when it comes to hairstyling. not as good as nikolai, but you can trust him whenever you wanna change things up

i feel like he's definitely nervous about it tho :') like he's just so worried he'll mess it up & you'll be mad lmao

hit him with the "so you can't do it? alr i'll ask someone else" and BAM he's shoving you down in a chair & asking what you want done with ur hair

works every time

is overly cautious. sits you right in front of a mirror and fr asks "is this ok" before cutting each section?? ur just like "yes sweetie, for the third time that's fine" :')

chuuya just wants you to be happy okay

the end result is no surprise since he basically walked you thru the whole thing but, i'll have you know it looked great <3

finally. | jim halpert

synopsis ── jim has been in love with you for years and everyone in the office thinks it's time for him to make a move. too bad they're a bit too slow. ♡

── jim halpert x fem!reader genre ── fluff word count ── 813 note ── jim and pam have no romantic feelings in this even tho i love them ♡ marvel masterlist ; misc masterlist ; prompts ; character list ; request rules

Working at Dunder Mifflin certainly had it's perks, and your deskmates were one of them. Well, maybe not Dwight, he was just sort of obnoxious. But Jim and Pam were nice, the two of them quickly becoming your best friends.

Pam saw the way Jim looked at you, and she was the first person to tell him to go for it, eventually everyone else in the office caught on, encouraging him to ask you out.

But what they didn't know was that he already had.

He'd asked you out at the end of your very first shift together, everyone deciding to go out to Poor Richards. He'd walked you to your car and told you that you could feel free to reject him without fear of him making it awkward at work, and he'd asked you to dinner.

"I'd love to, Halpert," you'd smiled up at him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Now eighteen months later, your coworkers were at their wits end. Pam was "sick of thirdwheeling" and Dwight reminded Jim almost daily that your level of fertility was dropping by the day.

He was at his desk one day, working quietly alongside Dwight and Pam. You were in the break room, talking to Erin and every so often he would take a quick glance up at you. Dwight put his receiver down harshly once he'd said goodbye, glaring at Jim. "Will you stop that? You're distracting me from my work,"

"I wasn't doing anything," Jim retorted. "Just go back to whatever you were doing,"

"I didn't see anything," Pam said. "What's going on?"

"Jim will not stop staring at the break room," Dwight said. "And there's only two people in there so either he's suddenly gained romantic attraction to Erin or-"

"Shut up, Dwight," Jim said. "I'm not doing anything. Leave it,"

"When are you finally gonna tell her how you feel?" Pam spoke up, giving him an apologetic look for not changing the subject.

"Someone of her nature, an intelligent woman with lovely friends," he gestured to himself. "Objectively, she's attractive, with a stable job. Someone's going to want to mate with her,"

"Don't... say that," Pam grimaced at his choice of words. "He's right about the rest of it, though. She's really nice and very pretty and if you don't ask her out, someone else will,"

Oscar stopped his journey across the office to comment. "We talking about Jim's crush?"

"I do not have a-"

"No," Dwight said, making Jim breathe a sigh of relief until he continued. "We're talking about Jim's cowardice,"

Oscar let out a laugh before patting Jim on the shoulder, leaning down. "Just go for it, man. She likes you back,"

"She does," Pam agreed. "Everyone can see,"

Dwight nodded. "I don't know why, given that as I said she is at least an 8.3 out of 10. She has a symmetrical face, a good sense of business wear, and she is very flirtatious, especially with eligible men such as myself,"

Pam and Jim exchanged dubious looks. "Name one time she's ever flirted with you,"

"November 3rd," Dwight answered smugly. "She brought a new stapler but after mine became jammed after an incident," he gave a pointed look at Jim, who gave him a confused look back, maintaining his innocence. "She said she'd splurged and bought a more expensive one because it seemed nicer and seemed genuinely excited to use it for the first time. After she found out about my stapler she gave hers to me without question. Tell me, Jim. Has she ever given you her stapler?"

From his office, Jim heard Michael let out a muffled laugh at the sexual-sounding nature of the question, the three of them rolling their eyes at their boss.

"Okay, here she comes, Dwight," Pam shushed him. "Stop talking about how she's in love with you," she gave Jim another apologetic look.

As you reached your desk, Jim spoke up. "Hey, can you come here? I need to show you something," That had the whole surrounding office's attention, wondering if Jim would finally tell you how he felt. You approached his desk and as you reached him, he stood up and kissed you, hard, in the middle of the office.

Pam let out a clap, Dwight would deny to his dying day that he smiled, and the rest of their coworkers exchanged grins and whispers of "finally."

You pulled away, breathless. "Damn, Halpert. Pulling the moves on me in the middle of work,"

He kissed you again. "I needed to prove to them all that I'm not a coward," again. "And that I am good enough for you," he whispered.

You smiled, kissing him again before Dwight could scold you about PDA in the office. "So that's what you do when you need to prove them wrong? Got anything else you need to prove?"

Hi! This is my first time requesting but I just want to say your writing is amazing! I just stumbled upon your blog and saw the little event you had going on and that you take fem!twst requests too 👀👀 so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind doing date prompt 4 with fem!malleus 👀 I'm down Astronomically for them so maybe like introducing them to some human halloween traditions back at home with corn mazes and hayrides or whatever. It's up to you tho, I can't wait to see what you come up with! Keep up the great work and don't forget to take breaks!! ♡

Sweater Weather Event

☾ Pairing: Fem! Malleus x Fem! Reader

☾ Date Prompt 4: Pumpkin Patch

☾ Notes: This request has too much power so I ended up doing headcanons because I got a lot of ideas. I'm so happy you requested fem!twst because no one else has, anon! It was a powerful one.

✦ Fem!Malleus goes along with your plan to go to a pumpkin patch. Briar Valley does have these but she’s never been to one herself. So, when you suggest this as your date for the weekend, she’s very excited to go.

✦ I imagine matching outfits with her because it would be cute and why not. I could see her wearing a long dress with puff sleeves and a straw hat and if you don’t wanna wear the same thing, at the very least the color scheme will match which will be up to you two.  

✦ Before getting there, she assumed that it would just be a bunch of humans looking through pumpkins and bringing some home. While she wasn’t entirely wrong, Malleus didn’t expect to see hay rides, some food stalls, and a corn maze to top it all off.

✦ Although her face is blank, her eyes are pretty much sparkling, especially at the pumpkin patch. She really wants to pick out a pumpkin with you but she also wants to check out everything else. Since she knows nothing about this, she lets you lead her around, making sure to keep you close by either holding your hand or keeping an arm around your shoulder because wow, there are a lot more people than she thought would be here. Plus, she doesn’t want you to get hurt by all the children running about.

✦ First stop was the corn maze and she got you through it pretty easily. How? I don’t know other than the fact that I’m sure she’s good at mazes. Who’s to say she didn’t explore abandoned mazes as well and just got good going through them? Not me, but I can make a headcanon out of it. But she did like how peaceful it was as the two of you walked through, and she may or may not have stolen a kiss or two whenever you were trying to determine which way to go.

✦ Food stalls were next and all she got was some apple juice the farm was selling since she wasn’t that hungry. She did end up getting some donuts to share with Lilia, Silver, and Sebek. She’s literally paying for anything you want because nothing is too expensive for you, eat to your heart’s content. Do you want to bring some home? Okay, she’ll pay for it as well. Don’t even bother trying to because she straight up just poofs the money into the vendor’s hand before you could even pull out your wallet.

✦ When the two of you finally head to the pumpkin patch to get your pumpkins, Malleus is inspecting nearly every single pumpkin wanting to know which one to bring home. She remembers you saying that you’re getting pumpkins to do some pumpkin carving, so she’s asking nearly everyone what makes a good pumpkin. Most end up being in awe or scared of her because tall, pretty woman asking questions. 

✦ She’s towering over almost everyone here which is pretty intimidating and not to mention, the fucking Princess of Briar Valley. She gets kind of pouty when no one really answers her questions until a nice elderly couple exploring approach her and help her pick out a pumpkin. Malleus is very happy when they do so and tells them she’s in their debt, which they laugh off because it’s literally just pumpkins but she would be so happy that someone approached her and helped. 

✦ She gets five pumpkins; one to carve with you, one for Lilia, one for Silver, one for Sebek, and one she can carve on her own. And no, she doesn’t carry all of these pumpkins including the food she got for them. She just teleports it to Diasomnia since she doesn’t want you to carry it on top of your own things but it’s in her room so the rest don’t find out. She wants to present it to her Diasomnia family when she gets back because Malleus also wants to tell them about her adventures with you at the pumpkin patch.

✦ Oh! And while you’re waiting in line to pay for your pumpkins, she’s eyeing some scarecrow plushies and notices you looking at them as well. She buys them. You guys have matching plushies to commemorate your date and the first time she went to a pumpkin patch now. Congratulations. I’m jealous. 

✦ Unfortunately, because of the long line, the farm is already closing for the day by the time you pay for your things. She’s a little sad but brightens up again when you tell her that you guys could come again the next weekend. 

✦ Malleus would, overall, have such a fun time looking at all the food and activities since she’s never been to one and she’s with you! When the two of you part ways and she’s back in Diasomnia, Lilia ends up texting you thank you for taking her young mistress out because now she’s raving about it, even if it doesn’t look like it. She really hopes that you guys go back and it becomes a yearly tradition because she had a lot of fun.
