#like just because you couldn't hack it doesn't mean nobody else can

Danny had the right idea of everything really. He knew perfectly well that werewolves existed, but he decided that he’d focus on his schoolwork and the hot guys, everyone else can handle the supernatural threats but Danny is getting out of this mess alive and with minimal trauma. At some point, the pack wouldn’t have even needed to worry about keeping the secret at school because there wouldn’t have been anyone left attending unaware since they all would’ve been killed off. Nobody left at graduation but the pack really (the hunters even made that joke true by revealing the supernatural to everyone there, there is not a person in BH that doesn’t know werewolves exist now. Granted, I thought it would be all the non-supernatural people dying, but I was technically right). Danny was the only person with common sense in that town because he looked at everything going on and said “y’all do whatever you want, but I’m living to be 21, goodbye, if I ever see any of you again it better not be because you’re asking for help with a supernatural problem.” He may have dated Ethan, but he was obviously clever enough to realize this wasn’t a relationship that would keep him out of the supernatural frying pan (unlike everyone else).
I mean yeah, in general, he had the right idea. But, boy, am I pissed that he was written off the show, and in the next season, they needed a goddamn hacker. Like, seriously?
Danny could've had a whole arc. He's annoyed he couldn't leave Beacon Hills because of whatever, maybe his parents refused to move. Idfk. And then Stiles and Lydia need to hack something, so, they go to Danny for help. He refuses to be involved with the supernatural. He doesn't want have anything to do with it. But, it's Lydia who's asking him. She's one of his closest friends, and he just can't say no... especially since she's in danger too.
#*answered.#danny mahealani#lydia martin#I'm also so annoyed#that they did the same thing with Kira#they kick her off the show#don't even tell her about it#and then write a plotline she would've been super important for#I mean#ghost riders#riding on lightning#????#hello???

I've tried writing poetry more than once, but I keep getting stuck on this: I write verses for songs that don't exist instead
I can't sing, so embracing it is out of the question, so how do I make poetry feel just as poignant when whover doesn't have the music in my brain reads it?
oh i get this ALL the time like you wouldn't believe how often. so many songs i have written started out as poems and vice versa so many poems were originally song ideas (i reckon this is at least partly because i like to write in fixed meter and song verses are by definition fixed meters).
what i like to do, since im also a singer, is take it in whatever direction the text leads me and make songs out of my more musical poems — perfectly fair if this isn't your cup of tea of course, but songwriting without singing is also a very valuable art, and if you play an instrument you can write an accompanying melody and see if anyone's interested in singing it (or even sing it yourself for a quick demo, i promise you bad singing with amazing songwriting is nothing new and there are so many people who value lyrics or melodies over technical vocal prowess).
if you're adamant about not wanting to write songs, which is super fair, you can probably try your hand at more rigid meters which have fixed accents and a more musical quality to them: i take a lot of inspiration from ancient greek and latin meter, you could try following them or similar fixed-accent meters exactly. you would have to make sure the correspondence isn't too off between the original type of accent and your language's type of accent, which can be a bit of a pain, but luckily writing modern language poetry with ancient language meters is nothing new, and you can often find examples of poems from the past handful of centuries trying to adapt these forms into their own languages (at least in italian it's like this — and if you're italian i would recommend you check out what carducci does with the odi barbare, it's very interesting metrically if not thematically)! and obviously, once you have your meter of choice down, you can just say which one it is and anyone who has any familiarity with the meter will know how to read it.
at the end of the day, though, nobody is inside your head like you are, and you always risk something not coming across like you intended — be it the metrics of a verse or the meaning of an expression you used. there's a lot of poems i have scrapped because they didn't sound right to others who heard them differently to how i did in my head, and others i have posted regardless of how someone else might read them differently, simply because i liked them too much to let that dissuade me, and others yet which i have posted as poems but i could hear a melody for while composing them and just couldn't be assed to record them or make them song-length. i cannot for the life of me remember who originally said this because i am a hack, but i am very fond of the theory of art according to which art is the intersection between the author, the work itself and the people who experience it: the melody you have in your mind is part of the poetry itself, but so is a potential reader's "misunderstanding" and reinterpretation of it, those elements aren't necessarily in competition but they come together to create a meaningful artistic experience that exists in the world as opposed to just in your head.

I have really been trying to see what other people are seeing in longlegs I have been trying so hard and I have to be honest the longer I think about it the more I really hate this damn movie
The parts I like
Nic Cage being a glam-rocker who actually did turn out to be a satanist, he put his whole pussy into this role and I really liked him.
The cinematography
Andrés Arochi
The parts I don't like
Everything Else
I ventured into the tags and everyone is losing their minds over how great this movie is so I will try to explain why I feel this way. Obvious spoilers.
The first half is interesting. I was interested in how Lee knew all this stuff and why. I thought maybe the mom was only going to be over the phone because secretly that's Longlegs on the other end taunting her in some way using more code and later on when the meanings of what's being said are revealed looking back on that convo will be horrifying. Nah her mom just talks like that. She says something Longlegs also said. Yeah she's in on it. okay. Why? Who give a shit. It's all downhill the second we meet her mom in person.
The literal second theres ~the spooky door~ Lee can't open it's like okay...well that's Longlegs' basement.
What's going on with the dolls? Why would someone put that much thought and effort into them? uhhhhh they got a steel ball of demon magic that makes the daughters of the targeted families passive and at longlegs' command (maybe the ball getting smashed frees them idk I can't tell because that girl who jumped off the roof wasn't but the mom implies it will help Lee in some way). So they're the ones killing the families then because Longlegs said to and thats why nobody can trace anything? Nope. It's the dads. Why? Fuck you.
When you make everything "because satan hypnotism" you can handwave literally anything away with that and have failed to tell a story. The last few minutes is just straight up exposition of how it got pulled off because the story doesn't trust you to figure think for yourself and figure it out (probably because without holding your hand through its own plot you couldn't figure it out)
This is a movie so caught up in imitating and pointing to better movies hoping you'll think it's smart by associating with them without putting in the work that those movies did to Actually Be Good. It reminds me of quinton tarantino and I mean that as a slur. Everyone saying the tension in this movie is almost suffocating I feel is either lying to me or has never seen any of the better horror movies it's ripping off because No the fuck it's not.
I get what it's going for. But to.me it's so surface level I feel I insulted my own intelligence watching it twice. Wow childhood trauma is bwuh bwuh bwuh...hard to deal with? How original! I've never seen that done before and in such a non-hack way thanks so much. Can you hear me rolling my eyes?
I feel like it's unfair to compare everything I watch now to Nope it's a high bar few will clear but That was a movie you had to think about. Everything was clear by the end but if you think, you're rewarded being able to connect more things together. Longlegs falls apart faster than wet tissue paper as I continued to think about it for more than half a second.
#arche rambles#i tried so hard man i really did i watched it so closely i put the time in#i genuinely feel so strongly about it im actually talking about it instead of letting this go

(Y/n) POV:
I never had a happy childhood as long as I can remember, not even a decent childhood memory, my mother never once care for me much less said a nice word...
my father his.. Let's just say... His never around, but when he is he used me as a personal punching bag or so.
I don't have any siblings and there's not much to say about my life.
Everyone i get closed to seems to distant themselves... when i turned out not being "worth it" ?
In the end I just got used to it.
Until...
One day the tables turned, I got into U.A the hero course.
It was pretty crazy first the USJ got attack by the Lov, then the festival after that out of the blue Katsuki demanded that I date him, then he got kidnapped by the Lov.
Thats just how crazy my life has gotten.
Present Day still (Y/n) POV:
I have been having a lot of doubt lately about katsuki, my boyfriend.
It wasn't to long ago he demanded me to date him, since than we haven't spend a lot of alone time or for that matter kissed.
"..." I sigh rolling my pen between my fingers staring blankly at my dorm room wall. "I guess it was all for show." I mumbled.
Suddenly knocking was heard on my door more like loud banging
"Oi! Extra, open up!" Katsuki's loud voice rang through my ears. I got up curiously opened the door letting the blond ash king explosion murder walk pass me.
He has an irritating look on his face?
"You know its late? I was about to sleep." I decided to go sit down next to him on the bed.
...
"So exstra, what do two people do when their in a relationship?" Katsuki question letting it sound more like a demand
My eyes widen at the little blush on his face.
A few seconds passed leaving an akwared silence.
"I don't know? I've never been in any kind of relationship at all."
"Right..." ... "What about we go get something to eat tomorrow?"
"Katsuki, why do you like me? I have nothing spacial nor do I have a amazing quirk. So why?"
"Your... Nothing tomorrow at 9 meet me at the dorm gate." Katsuki ordered walking out but stopped "and don't be late!" He growled slamming my door shut.
"What was he going to say?" I question brushing it off, laying down while falling at sleep in the process.
Who knows? I'll ask later.
Time Skip...
Its been quite some time since I started dating katsuki, its been a wild ride since that day in my room,
Its more like 5 months since he invited me out.
It all started with that one dinner and great memories, we got to know more about one and other what we like and dislike.
I learned how easy it was to handle the angry pomeranian, I also learned how good at cooking he can be and all his other talents and good morals.
But he can still be a little overprotective when it comes to me I don't really mind it as long as I can get a kiss or a hug out of it.
When the others found out I became Katsuki's girlfriend\boyfriend they where suportive but kaminari and mineta started whining about how katsuki got a lover before they did, I also had to avoid Izuku cause Katsuki literally tried to kill him the last time I talked to him.
Beside all that I really love being with katsuki he can be loving from time to time.
But its all seems too good to be true, a loving boyfriend and supportive friends. I doubt it from time to time?
Present time:
"Class dismissed." Mr.Aizawa said falling on the ground in his iconic yellow sleeping bag crawling out the door followed by some other students heading out.
"Finally, my butt feels numb." I yawned standing up from my desk
"Oi, babe wanna hang out in my room later?" Katsuki asked walking over to me with his bag hanging on his shoulder and a calm look on his face.
"Sure, katsu I'll just grab my stuff." I said in a smiling manner giving him a small pack on the cheek about to take my bag.
"Oh, hi (Y/n) Your still here, do you mind, like helping a girl out I got a few books I wanna return to the library, can you give me a hand?" Mina question holding a mountain of books.
"What the hack Mina." I fast walked over to her grabbing a few books before they where about to fall.
"Hey exstra do it yourself!" Katsuki barked at Mina who stayed unfuged by the angry yelling it's a daily thing so everyone is basically used to it by now.
"Chill down katsu, I'll be back in a minute." I winked at him walking down the hallway chatting a bit with the alien queen.
Little Time skip:
"That took longer than expected, I wonder if katsu is still there?" I mumbled to myself heading back too class.
I suddenly heard something getting knocked over, I rushed over the class room door.
The sight before me scared me shirtless.
Katski was on the floor with a girl I didn't know, maybe from another course but that wasn't the main issue they where kissing...
In the moment
I've become emotiontless because nothing can be worse than this feeling.
I feel the pain eating me up inside until I become this hollow soul of pain and nothing else, my heart broken into million pieces.
I wish I could turn back time, never agree to be this cheater girlfriend\boyfriend
I should have known, everyone the same
First mom than dad... Now katsuki their all the same, just a bunch of liars.
My tears built from deep inside and flowed down my cheeks, my tears spilled down my face like a waterfall running down from high cliff. My body started trembling compared to how messed up my mind was.
I couldn't stay here any longer, I turned running out the school while my tears spilled out my eyes.
I no longer feel like living. I can't. Its all over.
Nobody's POV:
The ash blond growled shoving the girl off him wiping his mouth off, an angry look spread on his face meaning his not very please at the moment
"You, fucken extra, touch me again and I'll kill." Katsuki barked with little explosion blasting from his palms.
"I-i Sorry!" The girl stuttered running away for her life.
"Damn, where's (Y/n)?" Katsuki mumbled taking his and his lover's bag walking out the class.
Meanwhile (Y/n) was in his\her room baling her\his eyes out wrapped up in tons of blankets.
"Hey, (Y/n) you in there?" Katsuki voice called out from the closed doors, but (Y/n) ignored him trying to block out the blonde pomeranian loud banging on the door.
Katsuki had enough he was worring and angry at his lover for making him concern that he decided to blast down the door, stepping over the broken wood he head over to (Y/n) bed.
Katsuki kneeled down in front of her\his bed thier all crawled up into a ball and pillow stuffed over thier head.
"... whats wrong?" Katsuki sighed questioning his lover who remained silent.
"I won't be able to help if you don't tell me." Katsuki said yanking the pillow off.
"You jerk, give me back my pillow!" (Y/n) said in anger trying to grab it but katsuki just throws it behind him.
"So you can talk." Katsuki smirked grabbing (Y/n) hand pulling her\him off the bed letting her\him fall onto katsuki.
"Ouch." (Y/n) mumbled realizing she\he was on katsuki (Y/n) wanted to get off immediately, but katsuki trapped her\him locking her\his waiste between his legs and holding a iron grip on (Y/n) arm and a hand holding pressing her\him against his chest.
"Now you can't get away from me, and i have your full attention. Whats wrong?" Katsuki smirked at (Y/n) but sounded worried.
"Y-you cheater!" (Y/n) yelled her\his tears dripping down her\his cheeks, the teary eyed vision of katsuki lover made him angry, no one hurts his only love and gets away alive, but it confused him more that he was called a cheater knowing fully well that he is forever committed to only (Y/n) alone.
"(Y/n) what do you mean? Cheater?"
"Don't l-lie to me I-i saw you, k-kissing that girl." (Y/n) voice cracked making it bearly hearable. Except katsuki heard every word that came out off (Y/n) mouth.
... Silence filled the room with little hiccups coming from (Y/n) where she's\he's pressing thier face into his chest trying to save little bit of the last warmth she\he might ever get from katski.
It was nice while it lasted. The words ranged over and over in (Y/n) mind, katsuki will leave her\him after he/she found out that katsuki knows that (Y/n) knows he's been cheating, than he'll go to be with his real love.
"You-" Katsuki paused with a deadly gaze in his eyes it scared the hack out of (Y\n) when she\he looked up into katsuki's eyes.
"You honestly think i'd leave you. Or fucken cheat on you?! Your my one and only bitch! Your the one and only exceptional exstra in my life, the love of my life. (Y/n) I fucken love you." The words katsuki angrly barked out touched (Y/n) deeply, who knew katsuki could actually feel, Much less love, and here (Y/n) was ready to give up on ever loving again as if katsuki would leave her\him for another.
His not like (Y/n) mother or father, katsuki cares and loves deeper than any average person.
"Bu-but you where ki-" katsuki stopped (Y/n) from finishing her\his sentance by forcing his lips onto (Y/n) lips, a innocent kiss quickly turned into a heated make out session. Katsuki and (Y/n) partened catching thier breaths, (Y/n) shyly gazed into katsuki's crisom eyes.
"I dare you to finished that sentance or ill take you right here and now."
"What happened?" (Y/n) asked wanting to know how katsuki ended up on the floor with the girl kissing him.
"That stupid exstra doesn't know how to tie her shoes, the low life tripped knocking me over landing on me and we accidentally touched." Katsuki said looking irritated.
(Y/n) didn't know how to feel, should she\he be mad or happy on one had a girl kissed her\his boyfriend and on the other hand katsuki wasn't cheating.
"Katsu, I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I-" katsuki placed his finger onto (Y/n) lips shushing her\him.
"I love you.. (Y/n) ❤" katsuki says giving (Y/n) a soft passionate loving kiss.
"I wuv you too, katsu~" (Y/n) mouned in the kiss wrapping her\his arms aroud the blonde neck letting katsuki hug her\him tighter.
In the end it was all a misunderstanding.
The end.. Haha xox
P.S sorry i couldn't stay on the only girl version & i had to rewrite the end cause it was supposed to end with (Y/n) running away never being seen by anyone again, but it was too sad, I'm a sucker for a happy ending.

No Longer Daddy’s Girl Chapter 9. New Friends And A Reunion
The team called a meeting in the high-tech lab in the basement of Stark Towers (Avengers H.Q). There are two labs. There is a lab almost like a hospital and a lab for high-tech research or making weapons. Loki and I walked into the elevator and pushed the button to take us to the lab. We walked out of the elevator to see the Avengers, Director and Agent Fury, Agent Hill, Agent Coulson, and others I didn't know. "Agent Coulson, could you please introduce your crew?" Tony asks, and I look towards Coulson. "The people with me who volunteered to help are Sky, Fitz-Simmons, Agent Melinda May, Agent Triplett, and Scarlet Queen, also known as Scar. She is one of our top Assassins in Shield."
"Hey Tony, where's Jarvis?" Scarlet asks.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that Vision is Jarvis. It happened while taking down Ultron." Tony responds."I've meant to install a new A.I, but I never got to it."
"Well...since Director Fury wants me to join the Avengers Initiative, I brought my A. I and I were wondering if I could install Violet?"
"Sure. How did you create Violet? It took me years to figure out how to create Jarvis."
"I had a great science mentor, and before I left for Shield...I definitely did not hack into your computer."
"I am surprisingly more impressed than upset that you were able to hack me." Tony says while typing some stuff. "Done. It shouldn't be long before she's fully installed."
"Hello Scar, I have sensed several unknown people in your area. Should I put the building under lockdown?" A female British voice asks. "No, Violet. We just have made some new friends." Scarlet says as she's typing and pressing multiple buttons on a high-tech iPad-like device. "I am going to need your fingerprints and a picture of yourself so that Violet can know each one of you, or she thinks your a threat." When everyone put in their fingerprints and took their picture, we started to talk about the mission in tiny detail.
"We are going to be leaving once our other friends are here. When we leave, we'll be on our way to Tokyo, Japan. There is a lab there, being run by members of Hydra, and they are still going along with the Centipede protocol." Agent Coulson says, looking very uncomfortable about the situation. “What's the big deal with Hydra and you guys?" I ask curiously. "For many years Hydra's Centipede Protocol has had their members trick people with superpowers into allowing them to experiment on them, promising them anything they want. They have also tricked people into letting them put a high-tech device that almost looks like a centipede on them and gives them superhuman strength. We have destroyed a lot of their facilities and labs, but they always relocate."
"How are we getting to Japan?" I ask curiously about Transportation. "We will be riding on The Bus. It's parked upon landing." Skye pipes in. "How did you get a bus on the roof?" Bruce asks. "How are we getting to Japan on a bus?" Sam asks equally as confused. "You'll have to wait and see. When the others are here, I want everyone ready to board The Bus." Coulson says, and everyone leaves to pack. I head to my room, and I start packing; I'm almost done when Fitz-Simmons and Skye come into my room to help. "How do you guys know each other?" I ask, very curious. “May and Fitz-Simmons were a part of SHIELD. I was a part of the Rising-Tide that was trying to get rid of SHIELD. Coulson found me and gave me a position in SHIELD for the skills I possess, I am the best hacker they have." Skye says with a triumphant smile. "Ok, done. I think we're meeting in the living area."
We walk out to find everyone sitting around waiting, and I sat down between Coulson and May. "I heard from Hill and Director Fury that after The Battle of New York, you survived and vacationed in Tahiti. How was it?" Tony asks Coulson, and I see that Coulson had shifted uncomfortably in his seat for a moment. "Let's not talk about that?" Coulson says as he looked down to the floor, trying to escape the conversation. There was a thud on the roof, and everyone seemed to think our other friends are there. We all head up and see my sisters, my niece, Mantis, Groot, and the other jerks.
"Aunt Galaxy!" My niece Starla yells as she runs into my arms. "I haven't seen you in a while. I missed you." I say, hugging her. When I let go of the hug, she put her arms up in the air. I picked her up even though she was 6 years old (Earth years). "Hey, Galaxy. I'm glad you switched sides. I hope the Avengers are treating you well." Gamora says, and I nod. "It's good to see guys. I'm just wondering if it was vital to bring your husband along and the two other jerks." I say, pretty upset."We insisted on coming alone, but the others wouldn't stay; I even threatened them with a gun. I got it taken away, though." Nebula says, and I start laughing out loud. "Coulson, where's the bus?" I ask him once I had stopped laughing.
"It's right in front of you." Coulson says and starts walking over to a plane. I follow him up onto the plane. There is a black van and an old red car. When everyone is in, the ramp closes. Tony looks at the old cherry red car, he moves closer to the car, and he was about to touch it. "Stark, don't you dare touch it." Coulson says, and Tony stops what he was about to do. "Nobody is allowed to touch Lola." Coulson walks us over to a lab with some high-tech devices.
"This is the only lab on the plane. Stark and Banner, feel free to come down here and work with Fitz-Simmons anytime you like." He says, and we head out of the lab and up a spiral staircase. "There is a small bar over in the corner." We walk into a small room that is separated by a glass wall. "Here is where everyone meets for mission meetings and updates." We walk into a kitchen area, and Coulson doesn't explain that it's a kitchen because everyone should know that (I mean, there's a fridge, counters, cabinets, and a coffee machine). Coulson shows us to our pretty nice rooms. "That is all; we're gonna let you guys settle in." Agent Coulson says, and Director Nick Fury and Hill get off the plane.
I finally settle in; I see Fitz, Triplett, Skye, Coulson, and Steve sitting around a table. I walk over and join them, I sit beside Fitz, and we start talking and laughing. We stopped once we saw that Loki and Tony were walking out of the kitchen area to join us. Loki sat beside me, and Tony sat beside Steve.
"Can you talk about Tahiti now?" Tony asks Coulson, and once again, I see him tense up. "Director Fury said that anytime someone would ask you about it, your answer was?" Tony was trying to get Coulson to say something specific. "I used to say that Tahiti was a magical place, but that was because I didn't know that truth. Tahiti isn't real, I was dead for days, and they brought me back to life with a drug called GH-325.....I was awake when they used machines to give me fake memories of Tahiti. I begged them to let me die. It was a painful experience."
"I was also brought back to life with the same drug after Ian Quinn shot me in the gut twice." Skye pipes on the conversation. "I wasn't dead like Coulson, though."
"I'm sorry." I said, not knowing what else to say. I couldn't imagine being shot in the gut twice. "Galaxy, Starla won't go to sleep. She said that she wants you to sing her to sleep, like when she was little." Gamora says, and I nod; getting up I head to Starla's room. "Aunt Galaxy, can you sing me to sleep?" She asks me, and I nod my head yes. "Close your eyes." I say and get ready to sing her old lullaby to her.
