Been watching through Link Click with my brother for Sibling Anime Night and, as this is my second watch, there are all these little details that are just driving me crazy. I have to remember not to say a darn thing because he doesn't know yet, but geez. They put some thought into this. They knew what they were doing.
Here are a few:
Qiao Ling telling Cheng Xiaoshi that Lu Guang is way more mature than him despite being the younger of the two.
Near the end of the first episode (in the sub), Lu Guang very insistently tells Cheng Xiaoshi to never ask about the future.
In the Noodle Lesbians episode, Cheng Xiaoshi telling Lu Guang, "Just because you don't see a glimmer of hope doesn't mean it's not hiding somewhere," and Lu Guang's expression fading into this soft smile as he chuckles, as if he's thinking, "It's just like you to say something like that."
In the basketball episode, how jealous Lu Guang sounds when Cheng Xiaoshi high-fives someone else.
When Cheng Xiaoshi runs out to start warning people about the earthquake, Lu Guang gritting his teeth and shouting, "You can't save them. They are already dead!" And then hurriedly lecturing Cheng Xiaoshi on how much of a fixed point death is no matter how much you might want to change it. "No matter how hard this is, you can't alter their fates!"
Lu Guang: "The future that we now know could completely disappear." (dub) "It could even cause the disappearance of the life we have now." (sub)
In the Aunt May arc, the three superheroes that our main three dress up as being the Star of Justice, Bringing Hope (Cheng Xiaoshi), Star of Courage, Conquering Fear (Lu Guang), and Star of Wisdom, Lighting the Way (sub)/Serving Knowledge (dub) (Qiao Ling). Gods, I could write an essay just on that.
I just... I just wanna grab some of these characters and shake them. Maybe slap them a few times. Why they gotta be like this?
#we're watching the sub but i watched the dub before#this one's definitely going on my âjust watch the dubâ list though#the sub is somehow gayer but it's also really poorly translated so it's distracting to read bc the english doesn't make sense#like no one says things like that in english please adapt it a bit more so it sounds natural#then again i'm an editor so i literally get paid to get annoyed by that stuff so ymmv#cheng xiaoshi#qiao ling#lu guang#link click#shiguang daili ren#sibling anime night#pancake thoughts

2024 English language manga releases I'm enjoying
Here are a couple of titles I've picked up in English so far this year that I've enjoyed. Most of these I read digitally in Japanese for one or two volumes a couple of years back, but opted to wait and purchase the English print versions for my collection.
I feel like all of these books are worth the purchase price, but don't have the energy to do individual posts for each of them. So here's a very smooshed together post covering a few 2024 reads.
GOGOGOGO-GO-GHOST! from Yen Press
Akechi Ushiro is a heavily flawed, hard-working woman whose disregard for her own wellbeing results in her coming face-to-face with her equally flawed guardian spirit, Masako. The pair decide to combine their forces and begin tackling the obstacles in Ushiro's life using curses.
Hiruzuka Miyako's darkly funny tale of a woman taking control of her life alongside her queer sister spirit is such a delight . Featuring a rough-and-ready art style that helps underscore the macabre elements at play, the entire first volume is scathing in its humour and unashamed in its portrayal of Ushiro's flaws. I was surprised when this one got picked up by Yen Press a while back, but so happy to see it enjoying a stateside release. If you're after something that doesn't always play nice, GOGOGOGO-GO-GHOST! might well be for you.
Edit: If you haven't read it before, this Japanese interview with Hiruzuka is worth reading for a bit more on her background and the creation of the series.
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! (Akujiki Reijou to Kyouketsu Koushaku) from Kodansha USA
A sweet little fantasy romance between two individuals who find solace in one another despite being reviled by the general public for their interest in monsters. One loves defeating monsters in battle while the other loves cooking them!
Melphiera is a smart, capable heroine while Aristide Rogier du Galbraith is a dashing and supportive hero. The manga art is a bit low in detail, but the characters and story are absolutely worth your time. I'd love to see the LNs that the manga adapts in English someday too. I mentioned in tags before this whole series gives me the types of vibes I enjoy in historical fantasy romance novels, so if you like that kind of content this might be a good title to check out (or recommend to friends who appreciate romantasy but haven't tried manga before).
In The Name of The Mermaid Princess (Mio no Na no Moto ni) from VIZ Media
In a country where being "unhuman" or in some way supernaturally inclined is seen as a curse rather than a blessing, Princess Mio takes medications to suppress her mermaid-esque traits and please her father. Her perspective changes when Yuri, a tutor from her fiance's home kingdom, encourages her to be herself and embrace the things that make her different.
I've seen people say this is a bit too obvious in its parallels between fantasy oppression and IRL issues, but this is a Ribon manga for young girls so yeah it's on the nose but I think it works for the audience it has in mind. Tashiro Miya's artwork here is gorgeous and both leads are quite endearing (Mio is SO freakin adorable I can'ttttt). Overall a solid little series with nicely packaged volumes for those after something for a younger audience.
The Moon on a Rainy Night (Amayo no Tsuki) from Kodansha USA
A romantic slice-of-life tale featuring two high school girls, one of whom is a budding pianist (Saki) and the other a loner who is hard of hearing (Kanon).
I don't normally go much on high school romance but the way this series blends classic GL melodrama tropes with genuine issues in an earnest manner works for me. While we see things more from Saki's viewpoint as she eagerly tries to learn more about Kanon and tries to figure out her own sexuality, we do also come to understand Kanon's thwarted ambitions and the difficulties she has with letting people in.
Kuzushiro's art is quite whispy and cute, with all the characters tending to look quite well-realised on the page. While I prefer romances that feature a character with disability to centre their perspective, I do feel this does a decent job of portraying both girls as they try to navigate their deepening relationship. YMMV on this though, particularly if you are d/Deaf or hard of hearing.
Sketchy from Kodansha USA
Ako is living an unfulfilling life with a dull job and even duller boyfriend, but she suddenly finds herself thrust into a whole new world upon encountering a mysterious young skateboarder.
Sketchy, while ostensibly about women taking up skateboarding is more a snapshot of their individual lives and the role having a hobby plays once you're no longer a child. Ako's story particularly resonates with me (I literally worked her job at a similar age) but all the characters prove interesting in their own way.
Makihirochi's art is a bit more experimental than others on this list and may not be to everyone's taste, but I do think Sketchy is still worth checking out even if you're not entirely sold on the art (which I think has improved since I first became familiar with her work through Itsuka Tiffany de Choushoku o in Comic Bunch). Titles like this, which, let's face it, have low levels of mainstream appeal, don't often get English language releases so I highly recommend supporting this one if you have the opportunity to do so.

nocturnal fears | beomgyu
beomgyu x gen!reader
àšà§Â word count: 1k àšà§Â genre: fluff, some angst àšà§ summary: practically a conversation with beomgyu, sitting on two swings at two in the morning. yeah, i don't know how to summarize this. àšà§Â n/a: english isnât my first language. warning about text written with a dangerous amount of sleep and without any editing
"What the hell is the point of this?"
The nocturnal scenery around you was not as romantic as you would have expected from a foolish outing at two in the morning, the coherence of your thoughts was more and more consumed by your need to sleep, you felt dizzy after swinging on the swing for who knows how long and, for better or worse, Beomgyu was in one of those taciturn facets in which he conveyed to you the serenity and security of closing your eyes and not wanting to open them.
Your sleepy voice interrupted the soft humming coming from Beomgyu's throat. The boy tilted his head to look at you and curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
"You said you needed me." He explained in a soothing voice, as if it was the most logical reasoning and solved every last blank in your question. You let out a sigh that eventually turned into a laugh. Deep down it was no surprise either, this was Beomgyu with his spontaneous and generally inexplicable behavior.
"Beomgyu, yes, I say things like that all the time, you know that. Was it really necessary to meet at this time of night? You have to get up early tomorrow."
Beomgyu pursed his lips and shrugged. His body was ridiculously large compared to the swing, so he only had to lean forward a little to hug his legs. "Finding time to sleep isn't complicated," he whispered.
"And what is? Allowing me to fall asleep early?"
He didn't bother to answer. Instead, he sighed fondly and, after another long silence, said, "I just missed you tonight".
You bit the inside of your mouth when you heard that, but you couldn't stop the nervous laughter that escaped your mouth. "Beomgyu, you're a fool," you said and tapped his shoulder without much force. Beomgyu's smile widened when he heard you, and before you could move your hand away, he took your hand between his fingers and ran the warmth of his fingertips over your skin.
"I know," he reached out with his hand and grabbed the rope of your swing to pull you towards him, for a moment you thought he was going to kiss you, but all he did was look deeply into your eyes. "I know you never wanted to be on the swing at this hour," he said, and his voice couldn't have sounded more sincere. "I just... I was a little scared and wanted some of your protection."
You leaned your head into his and closed your eyes as the puff of his breath hit your lips. "Scared of what?"
"Scared of me, of you, of being yours, of not being yours," he confessed in a small whisper. "It's too much to take in, all these changes... We're growing up, and it scares me. You, my friends, even my parents, everyone around me seems to be adapting; easily or not, but they are doing it. I feel like I'm still in the same place, drifting, nothing pleases me, nothing makes me feel whole. I am afraid that the time will come when my dissatisfaction will separate us, that I will be left behind while you move forward and we will inevitably have to say goodbyeâ.
You took a few seconds to digest his words, unable to help but be moved by his sincerity and the tenderness in his voice. It never occurred to you that Beomgyu had those feelings. Although you knew of his sensitivity and attachment to small things, you had not been aware of those concerns until then.
"Beomgyu..." was the only thing you could say, you were not prepared for this conversation, let alone at this time of night and under the circumstances they were in: stupidly sitting on two swings that could barely support the weight of your bodies. "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere without you," you said before lifting an arm and wrapping it around his neck. You pulled him to you and let his head rest on your shoulder.
"That's why I came to you tonight." His hands traveled to your back to embrace you, as softly as his words, "because I can go all day without sleep, but I can't bear the thought of being away from you."
"Sweetheart..."
"I talk too much, I know," he laughed awkwardly. "But you're so perfect and I'm so fucked up. I want to be good for you, I want to see you walk proudly by my side. I don't want to let you down."
You sighed and took his chin to make his eyes look at you. The closeness of his face to yours, of his lips to yours, made you want to do nothing more than kiss him. He seemed to think the same. "Could you listen to me for a second?"
"Could you kiss me?"
You laughed and shook your head. "Listen to me first."
Beomgyu, without letting go of the swing rope, pressed his head a little against your shoulder and stretched up to kiss your neck. "I hear you." He murmured and leaned against you a little more, his hand resting on your stomach, right on the edge of your sweatshirt.
"Stop distracting me, I'm trying to say something intelligent, okay?" you groaned, though you couldn't sound serious enough. "I want to... I want to find the most useful way to convince you that I'm with you, that every step you take is a step I take, and if you back down, I'll back down with you. There is no way that growing up can separate us, because if I'm honest with you, the passage of time only makes me more certain that you are the man I want to walk beside."
A silence stretched between the two of you for a few seconds until Beomgyu broke it with a kiss, the contact of his lips against yours was brief and he released you almost immediately, hesitant, as if hesitating whether to speak or continue kissing you. His face became serious, but there was a smile in the back of his eyes, "Fuck, shut up or I'll propose to you right here".

Okay, I've seen this done wrong often now, so a quick guide to the beautiful German language especially regarding nicknames.
It's rather easy in ENglish, because you can use every nickname, like "my love" or "my darling" for every person of every sex. IN Germany, that is unfortunately a bit more complicated, because in Germany we gender everything. The door is feminine, the table masculine, the pig neutral and so on and so on. Because of that we adapt our words, especially possesive pronouns.
Just, a quick example, below is a table with all the different ways to say "my".
In German we change the pronoun or "adapt" it regarding the "genus" (gender), Numerus (number) and "Fall" (cause). There are four cases in the German language, Nominativ, Genitiv, Dativ, Akkusativ.
I won't explain them all, because that would be too difficult. However, this is why it's not enough to put "my" in Google translate. Or just "love". You can't translate things word for word into another language, you need context [btw don't use Google translate. It's really not that good]
EXAMPLE:
"My love" [as in, the feeling I feel]
[My love for him...]
"Meine Liebe"
[Meine Liebe fĂŒr ihn....]
"My love" (as a nickname)
"Meine Liebe" (addressing someone of the female gender)
"Mein Lieber" (addressing someone of the male gender)
However "Liebe/Lieber" is not necessarily the best way to translate it, because it's more like a "my dear". You can go with "Meine Liebste/Mein Liebster" but that's very old-fashioned, like 19th century kind of old-fashioned.
What I also often find is "Liebchen" (though I've never seen it written correctly". It's alright I guess, but I personally have never heard someone say it.
DON'T JUST TRANSLATE RANDOM PETNAMES FROM ENGLISH TO ANOTHER LANGUAGE
Yes, "Honig" is the german word for "honey" but noone calls their s/o that?! At least I've never heard of it. Just do your research, please
Another important thing when writing about a German character:
Like in many languages, like French for example, there are two ways to directly address one person:
The informal way "Du"
And the formal way "Sie".
Unless your two characters are in a working relationship and suddendly declare their love, don't ever use "Ich liebe Sie." That's like saying "I love you Sir/Madame." If your characters know each other informaly, adress each other with first name etc. it's ALWAYS "Ich liebe dich."
Please, if you write for a character, that speaks a language you don't, translate everything in context, even if you only need one word. Don't use Google Translate. If you can, ask native speakers. I can asure you, most are happy to help.
I am, if anybody has questions regarding translations. It just makes the whole reading expirience more pleasant and makes you look like a better writer.

MORE OF HUMAN!TECHNO AND ALIEN!BEEDUO THINKING TECHNO IS A LITTLE KID đżđżđż
(part one) - (part two)
Back on earth, Techno very briefly had a gig as a babysitter.
It's a little funny, considering he doesn't even like children. But for some reason, kids just seem to be drawn to him. Techno used to be a big hit at a distant nephew's birthday parties too, where the adults gladly left the little ones with him so they could drink store-bought wine and gossip. And since small talk is about the only thing Techno dislikes more than children, he never complained.
And maybe some part of him feels weirdly proud that he has the same effect on the tiny pig alien thing, who looks up at with him so much admiration.
Bee and Boo were startingly quick in leaving Techno alone with their child, especially since Techno still hasn't been able to communicate with them. Either they really trust him, or they don't see him as a threat. Probably the second one, hard as it is for Techno's pride to bear. He's more or less figured out that these two don't realize he's an adult.
Techno mostly has himself to thank for that.
Michael - that's the kid's name, or close enough from what Techno can make out from the guttural grunts it makes - is a toddler. Or whatever the closest thing is in his species. Techno, aimless and trying to get his non-hostility across to the much more powerful and dangerous aliens around, had adapted early on by mimicking Michael to appear as harmless as possible.
He just didn't expect the message to come across this literally.
Lacking the English vocabulary needed to clear up the misunderstanding (and also maybe halfway aware that this misunderstanding could be the only thing standing between him and these aliens throwing him out of an airlock), Techno decided it was a fair price to pay for survival.
And as stated, kids like him.
With another small snort, Michael turns over one of the colorful cards on the table. Techno had some trouble piecing together the rules of the game at first, but he thinks he gets it now. He only lets Michael win half the time or so.
"Nice try," Techno says. He lays a card out of his hand onto the table. "But better luck next time."
Michael's ears flick and he grunts in playful annoyance a few times. Techno laughs. It's... almost adorable? In so far a humanoid pig alien thing can be adorable.
A static hum from the doorway makes him flinch and look over. Despite everything, his time in the arena still left Techno jumpy - constantly on guard.
But it's just Boo checking on them. Their tall frame has to hunch to look at them, too tall to fit.
Michael vocalizes a bit more but then stomps his little hooves. He's happy. Hoof stomping is good.
Boo chitters back, pleased. And then they look over at Techno.
Techno kind of awkwardly stares for a moment. Before replying in the only language he knows they get. He lifts his feet and brings them down on the metal spaceship flooring three times.
He's happy too.
Boo hums again, louder. Then they wander off to do whatever it is adult aliens do, leaving Techno and Michael to their game.

Twitter is a mess. People in the English-speaking bllk fandom have been commenting on one of Nomura-san's posts that the anime is bad. Like...?
I shouldn't have to explain how not cool that is. What do people get from bringing their discontent to the mangaka's attention? I'm astounded by the entitlement and lack of basic etiquette.
Things are better here, despite the disappointment in how S2 looks so far. It's fine to voice disappointment. It's less fine, in my opinion, to write everything off, trash the whole thing and only focus on the negatives. Particularly in spaces where people are trying to engage positively with the anime. Particularly when your choice of soapbox is in a creator's notifications.
I shitposted about this already, but I'll elaborate seriously for what it's worth. Here's the tl;dr:
Media doesn't have to be objectively good to be enjoyed.
Does the manga deserve a more considerate adaptation? Of course it does. This post is not an apology for what appears to be the result of a rushed production schedule.
Is the anime a complete write off, unwatchable, without merit, a failure that we should all condemn?
No.
If you disagree, please go watch the full first episode of Ex Arm and come back to this post.
That's a rough time, right? The animation has close to no redeeming factors. Yet it's funny for the mishaps alone. It has less than three stars on MAL and only a single work on AO3, but, y'know. The crappiness provokes something. It's been meme'd. Would I willingly watch more of it? No. But there's some enjoyment to be derived from Ex Arm, even if it's a car crash of an anime.
Blue Lock is not unwatchable. At worst, it's an average production. It's not going to win any awards for animation quality, but it's still got plenty to offer. Here's a quick list of merits:
The voice acting.
The music.
As manga fans, seeing everything in full colour.
The anime-original content and Additional Times.
The insane levels of fanservice, particularly for those who ship characters.
The dodgy PowerPoint slideshows and the CGI running scenes.
No, the last one isn't a joke. I complain about them myself. But they're also hilarious. When watching, slip-ups like that often get the biggest laughs from me. The panning shots of PNGs? The dumb stink clouds in season 1? Chigiri's CGI run in s2e2? The bit where lil Nanase was superimposed on top of the football? No, it's not great animation, and it's a shame that the studio didn't get more time to bring the manga to life. But laugh, and roll your eyes, and move on.
This perspective on mediaâacknowledging the flaws, while embracing the good things on offerâis balanced. There's no ban on being disappointed, and sharing thoughts to that effect. But, if you can't say anything positive about a show and want to vent, fine, share criticismâbut to a smaller audience and not within a main fandom space (e.g. the main bllk tag). That's good etiquette.
But if nothing else, then please. Please please please don't dogpile a mangaka or writer or artist with Opinions on something they have a peripheral at best involvement in.
#in the spirit of the post i'm not tagging this as blue lock#tbf i don't think anyone in the tumblr community has been as bullishly frustrated as on twitter#we'll call it a#vent post#personal#mine

//Will use //x// or [[x]] when speaking Ooc//
Backstory: I was originally born to be a test subject. Just another lab rat for C70. Hydra's alternative in my universe. They tested on me for nine years, since I turned 2 and tried getting me to work on this "project see-through". It was a test to get their troops into other universes, obviously for "World domination". They thought I was a failure again but I actually succeded. They threw me out... no litterally, like in a body bag expecting me to die of suffocation but since I wasn't a failed test I could warp out of there!
Current situation: I got adopted by two people. Since I am old enough to actually live on my own I do. I live with Rider sometimes at his. He's like... 19 idk... idr. And we are the bestest of friends, he's dating this certain someone who I can not take the name of cuz he'll kill me... but yeah everything else is good. We live in New York pretty simple house. Not really many distractions but he also has a house in Romania so I go there like... a lot.
Sudden disappearance: I was gone on a mission for (shhh don't tell anyone) RusselViper. Somewhat like S.H.I.E.L.D but a bit more... let's say righteous? S.H.I.E.L.D has a history of hiding things don't they? Anyway. I work there and have been working there for like the past... three years? They sent me on a mission for five months and your girl slayed it. Now I'm back in business.
RusselViper: Normally it would be recognised as a snake... a random snake right? But to me it's like a home of some sort. They take in Minors and work with them. No one above the age of 19 is allowed to join, you may only join if you are 13 and older but below 18. They do this because most organisations don't really take in kids... do they? Anyway so less of an opportunity to have breach ins or black sheep's inside the facility. They have multiple headquarters and most of them aren't even in a hidden position. Out in the wild training the future.
Why?: One of the trainees in there reached out to me after hearing I have powers, they thought I could help them in the more serious missions. Turns out I could. Well not every single one but being able to do one-man or in my case one-woman extracts? It was a blessing.

Do you have any tips or advice on writing,your way with words truly is amazing-âŠïž
thank you sm lovely anon, this is such a sweet compliment đ„č
iâm not good with tips or writing tbh, like one day I just started this blog and started writing and now Iâm here I guess đ (funfact i acc ran an IT fanfiction blog back when I was like 11 this is not my proudest moment I shouldnât have even been on this app)
iâm a big fan of english literature and always have been, im taking higher english next year for s5 and Iâve learned quite a bit tbh that I think can help!
1. my teacher always tells me to not repeat the same words over and over again. like for example :
âcharacter watches s/o walk into the room with their bright smile and bright eyesâ
instead, you could say :
âcharacter watches s/o walk into the room with their beaming smile and bright eyesâ
personally in my opinion repetition is good for both writing and poetry but using more adapted words can really elevate your writing. but thatâs just my opinion on what it does for me and i try my best not to repeat the same words consistently. if you struggle to think of more advanced words you can use google because thatâs quite literally what i do but you can also use a thesaurus, theyâre quite helpful i used to use them in primary school for writing :)
2. another tip i can think of is using techniques of writing, this also goes for poetry too (as im currently having to study for my english exam on poetry). thereâs a few techniques you can use in writing fanfiction such as
- metaphors (an implied comparison eg. âmy mum has a heart of goldâ - meaning my mum is a kind hearted woman. she is)
- similes (similar to a metaphor but itâs a direct comparison, typically used in the forms of âlike aâ or âasâ eg. âshe was as cold as iceâ - meaning that her personality and demeanour is rather cold and stern.)
- personification (similar to a metaphor also but this connects human characteristics such as personalities or emotions to a non living thing eg. âthe trees danced in the windâ - trees cant dance like a human can, but the way they bristle in the wind can make it seem like theyâre dancing)
i know some of these people wouldâve already heard about but i thought Iâd add in the examples and explanations just to clarify it for people who are confused and want to learn about it
this isnât a MUST you have to include in your writing or anything but these are just tips on ways you can elevate your writing and personification is specifically good for describing scenery so the reader can feel more engaged within the story :). these are only a few of the techniques i use so if you wish to hear about more please do feel free to shoot me an ask.
3. one last tip that comes from me in my experience of writing is actually educating yourself by reading some writings youâre interested in. one thing Iâve learned about writing is that you can gain experience by becoming influenced by other peopleâs writings on any part of the internet. not like plagiarism of course but i mean you can become inspired by the way they write and adapt your own writing style.
iâve learned so much from my beautiful and amazing moots and theyâre all just so talented, im forever grateful and proud for each and one of them :)
but i hope this helps âŠïž anon, and YOU are my first official emoji anon HEHEHE SO THANK YOU!! and i will be adding more to this tip list if i think of anything.
and please remember, anyone can be a writer. it doesnât matter wherever youâre a natural or if youâre âinexperiencedâ. we all engage and write in different styles and ways and thatâs what making writing such a beautiful thing to contribute in. so donât give up and if you need anything at all donât be afraid to message me, i hope youâve given this a read and again, i hope it helps. <3

Iâm gonna do a thread of why I think that Miriel will live. First, Iâm not exactly a Tolkien expert, I still have to finish a lot of his books, but Iâm gonna point out why I think killing her isnât the best choice, not only from the âI love her and sheâs my favâ line but from the âit doesnât make sense to me as audience/reader" line. And, at the end, i will say why I think she will die. I am torn on this topic.
1 - The hints i talked about previously. Galadriel tells Miriel that she doesn't have to choose the path of fear and that she can choose the path of faith. We see that Miriel is really afraid of that faith because her father was forced out of his throne for it and, at the top, because she knows Numenor will be destroyed. She, eventually, makes a choice and we see that she has chosen faith. In the books, we know very little about her, but in the series we are actually seeing how much of an effort sheâs making to follow the right path. Another hint, that might not be a hint, is the scene with that wood dolls (I donât know the name in English, sorry) and Galadriel is saving Miriel from a dark place. Might hint that maybe something different will save Miriel in the end and it also might mean that she actually just accepted the Gods and made the right choice. Another one, that might be my favorite one: the DAMN EAGLES! Really, every single time we saw them in adaptation, it was to save someone. They saved Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, Thorin and his whole companyâŠI know the eagle itâs sign on the scene, it shows that Miriel is the rightful Queen and in the books we see that they also disappear bc of her grandfather and bc of Pharazon, but theyâre connected to the Gods, so Iâm a little bit hopeful.
2 - THE GODS! Forgive me, guys, but Gods are supposed to be merciful, you know? Specially those Gods! Like, they know who tries and who doesnât. They send giant birds to coronations and they also made clouds, like eagles but in clouds, appear on the sky to warn Numenor that they werenât pleasing them. They see everything and not her efforts? Like bitch please thereâs no way they donât see that Miriel has been suffering like Jesus!
3 - Why her death doesnât make sense to me in the books and why it wonât make sense if she dies like that in the series: sheâs a good one. And the really, extremely good ones that I read about didnât die. Not only that, but like I said, that woman is suffering too much to just die? When we watch a series that a woman suffers too much, she never dies. I can point a lot of female characters that suffered for at least three lives and are still out there surviving the most dangerous and traumatizing things. For me, it didnât make sense for Tolkien to kill her just for the sake of narrative because her death doesnât impact other arcs. Numenor was already destroyed, she was not a Queen anymore because she didnât have a kingdom. I think he just killed her because he didnât want to go too much into her, because it doesnât make sense for a man that portrays faith in the way he does, to just kill of a character that has been faithful and tried to do the best for her people. In the series, sheâs more explored and we actually see her efforts. She got blinded, usurped, might be forced to marry, will pass through a damn trial with a giant sea monsterâŠall that, and all that fucking magic, and girl canât be saved? Be fr. The actress said she had to get a license, so Miriel will probably be underwater for a time and I do believe Numenorians have some elvish blood on them, even if itâs littleâŠshe has to live.
4 - Now as a viewer. I heard, donât know if itâs true, that they can change how a character will die, but not if that person will survive or not. Like Saruman. He dies in a different way, but still dies. So, to me, as a viewer and seeing how theyâre writing female characters, it would make more sense for Miriel to die in battle. And on the last battle, alongside the others. Miriel seems to be more rational, so I have trouble thinking that she might just die while trying to make everything right. I am not the producers or the writers, so I donât know how they would write the rest of her arc, but I could only hope to see her with Elendil, building a new kingdom. I also want to know the point of Earien. I love the actress and I know that the character is young but likeâŠshe helped usurp a Queen, using her faith against herâŠthe same faith her father has đ€Ą and sheâs doing all that bc her brother decided to go to war. He couldâve stayed but he wanted to go. Why tf this girl is blaming Miriel?
5 - As a viewer again: yes, for her to die in Numenor and all might make sense bc she fought to save that damn city, but sheâs also worried about its people. Like, all the faithful are supposed to leave the island and those are the ones that are faithful not only to the gods, but to herâŠwhy would she stay on that damn city? She knows how this story will end.
7 - Why I think she might die: her arc with Elendil. I love them so much it hurts, but I think theyâre going to build the âsheâs going to make something out of meâ kinda o story line. He became her eyes and she will teach him what she knows about being a leader. Lloyd said something like that in an interview and I couldnât agree more, because she will hear what he sees and he will hear her interpretations. The feelings they have for each other will affect their path and her death will be his ultimate push to be a leader and honor her memory. What I think to be incredibly sad is that she will drown, trying to save her city. And his late wife also drowned while trying to save their son. A parallel, a sad one.
8 - What I hope for: hope is the last one to go. I would like to see her being saved by the eagle and marrying Elendil, or at least building the city with him. It would be amazing.
9 - Make noise on social media if yâall want the magical eagle to save that woman.

What No One Tells You About Writing 8â âAnyone can write a bookâ
Yes. But actually no. I say âwriting is easyâ in that it doesnât take a degree and textbook learning to understand. You can get an English or lit degree if you want, but writing is incredibly subjective. Itâs not even like an art degree that has you study different mediums and historical styles. âWriting is easyâ in that itâs about feeling, and instinct, and a little bit of common sense. Anyone can do it in that it doesnât take financial investment to start. Steal a tchotchke pen and paper from a hotel roomâyouâve got all the tools you need. I have a communications degree and 9 years of experience, and I'm about to publish my first supernatural fantasy novel.
Writing is not easy, however, if any of the following applies to you:
You want to make enough money to do this full time
You want to appeal to mass audiences
You want to be a NYT bestseller**** or get an adaptation
You want to be regarded as the best of your generation and fill bookstore shelves
1. It takes a healthy dose of self-awareness and a reality check
 I betaâd for an author who thought that he was comparable to GRRM, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, because both have adult themes in their book and if GRRM can do it, why canât he? The sheer vastness of the divide between ASOIAF and this awful, awful manuscript wasnât worth putting into words for the amount I was being paid, though I tried.
Yes, you can write whatever you want. Yes, you can write to please yourself and stroke your ego. You can write the hammiest wish-fulfillment author insert that you desire. But you canât expect anyone else to want to read or pay money for it. Itâs great to have confidence as an author and envision your success, but starting right off the bat with âeveryone will love this book because Iâm really smart and I love this bookâ is only going to leave you bitter and penniless.
2. You might be an expert in your given field, doesnât automatically make you an expert at storycrafting
I really, truly want the above godawful toe wart of a human (who tried to justify pedophilia in his book with the Israel-Palestine conflict) to stop featuring in my writing advice, but I know heâs not the only person out there who thinks like this. You might have a doctorate in engineering, medicine, political science, chemistry, physics, history, paleontologyâany field you want. That does not mean you can successfully translate your expertise into a well-crafted and compelling narrative. It means you can write a college textbook lecturing your readers for 300 pages. Heck, if you can't explain what you do like I'm 5 years old, then you're not an expert in your field.
Elements of good storytelling include well-rounded characters, solid pacing, compelling themes and motifs, an engaging main conflict and character arcs and edge-of-your-seat action, romance, debates, and arguments. Itâs so much more than âIâm going to write a textbook, but have my character tell it to you, and everyone will love itâ.
They wonât.
3. âIâm gonna be a millionaire like JKRâ
The frustrating thing about making money writing is that at the end of the day, you are still selling a product. Which means that it doesnât matter how amazing you think it is, if itâs not what sells. The Fifty Shades series is hardly a poetic epic with deep, meaningful characters and themes, but it sold. It got adaptations. Why? Because it was a product people wanted and its writing style appeals to mass audiences who arenât entertained by fluffy, antiquated prose. I hated the Divergent books. They soullessly and shamelessly fed off the success of Hunger Games. But they sold because âteen dystopia HP housesâ was what audiences craved and what Hollywood was pushing to make movies out of.
Personally I donât have any nostalgia for Harry Potter and I both wish I did so I could have one more beloved series and fandom to participate in, but also am glad I donât because of JKR. HP is chock full of plot holes and âfuck it weâll do it liveâ worldbuilding and so many concepts that look cool on paper until you really start thinking about it.
JKR didnât make a million dollars because she wrote the greatest fantasy series. JKR made a million dollars because she wrote a book that sells every goddamn piece of lore for $15.99 or more and collects on all those sweet, sweet royalties. She understood that sheâs selling a product, not just a story, selling everything from Slytherin ties and wizarding robes to golden snitches, sorting hats, wands, chocolate frogs, and every other prop seen in the movies.
You sure can chase trends and Iâm sure Divergent is somebodyâs favorite book and you can hock chocolate frogs. Everyoneâs writing goals are different.
4. âBut GRRM did itâ (or, adhering to genre expectations)
Circling back to this one. Once again, you can write whatever you want, no one is stopping you. However, books are products and if whatâs in the summary and on the cover isnât whatâs on the pages, youâre going to upset and annoy your readers. For example, if I slap a chiseled six-pack of man meat on my book cover with flowy calligraphy for the title that reads something like Sex and Pink Champagne and my summary is all about how protagonist girl gets the adonis of her dreams, youâre not going to be happy if, 200 pages in, the plot detours and Mr. Sexy fucks off to sell NFTs.
It doesnât meet genre expectations.
GoT kicks off with incest and child defenestration. It tells you *exactly* what youâre getting into immediately. You can subvert plot expectations all you want. You can subvert tropes and archetypes and throw in all kinds of twists and turns. But if youâre writing a YA novel and 100 pages in after campfire songs and the power of friendship, Protagonist gets assaulted in a 7-11 parking lot because you wanted to be ~edgy~ youâre going to piss off your readers.
Take Mulan for example. It has a dramatic tonal shift so powerful, the musical stops being a musical because itâs traumatized. Mulan doesnât drop in the grizzled and horrifying wasteland of a battlefield with thousands of dead soldiers in an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Itâs already a war movie, the possibility is already there.
If you want to write adult content, then write a book for audiences who are prepared for and want to read adult content. Otherwise youâre setting yourself up for failure.
5. âOkay but itâs not entertainingâ
Your first job as an author is to entertain (your second is to do it responsibly imo). Thereâs millions of books out thereâwhy should someone read yours? Whether thatâs entertainment through a feel-good romance or a gut-wrenching tragedy, you need to keep convincing your readers to stay invested in the story, otherwise they can and will put it down to read something else. No one is obligated to read your book to the end.
So, yeah your protagonist might have all the elements of your own personal tragedies and it sure is meaningful to you, but the way you wrote it is incredibly boring and no one will care. It might be the most brilliant heist plot ever conceived, but you focused on all the wrong elements, the pacing is whack, and your protagonist is annoying, so no one will read it.
Very few individual elements can be good enough to carry the entire manuscript and the likelihood of an author being really good at one thing and awful at the rest is slim. Readers can quit a book over the most arbitrary reasons. Do you want to die on a hill of âIâm not changing my annoying protagonist, Iâm right and they will seeâ? They wonât. The arguments authors get into with me over how I hated their protagonist or I told them which parts were boring and dragged because I âdidnât understand the storyâ are pointless. If itâs boring or confusing or annoying, no one will read it.
6. First Drafts are drafts for a reason
Actually writing is less than half the time and effort spent on getting a book to publication. Probably less than a quarter. The rest of that time is spent editing and rewriting. Some first drafts will be better than others, not arguing that, but your first run through your story has a non-zero chance of needing revisions, even for something as small as typos and punctuation.
You have to edit for pacing and tonal shifts, erroneous details and entire scenes, character inconsistencies and goals. You have to make sure your conversations flow believably, that you hit every talking point that scene requires. You have to make sure your characterâs motivations donât create plot holes and that theyâre always on track like a real person and not a creation of your imagination. You have to make sure your action scenes and sex scenes are legible and as thrilling for a reader as they are for you. You have to make sure your worldbuilding is consistent and logical and easy to understand.
Some people outline heavily before starting page one. Some people have a sticky note of âbeginning middle endâ and run off that. Some have whole folders of different documents to keep track of all their elements. Everyoneâs writing process is different, but it is a process, not a one-and-done. It requires revisions, seeking feedback, implementing that feedback, and more revisions until itâs as good as it can be.
Yes, you need to edit. No, youâre not the writing god who penned perfection on your first try. Maybe a piece of your story is perfect on the first draft, but not the whole thing from start to finish. Itâs okay that your story isnât what you thought it would be when you started, and itâs no failing of you as a writer to need edits or even massive changes. It happens to everyone.
7. âWriting is easy, thus itâs not a real jobâ
Really the notion that creatives are lesser than corporate business people solving problems that their business created. But specifically for writing, the idea that itâs just putting words on a page, thus itâs easy and anyone can do it, so itâs not impressive or deserving of praise and you really need a real job (you probably will because writing doesnât make much money for most people, but thatâs just how it shakes out).
I know ENNS wonât appeal to everyone. I know there will be people who hate my characters, who donât understand them or donât agree with their philosophies or find my writing trite and too lean and not ~immersive~. I know thereâll be homophobes out there who wonât even read it but hear about it and make assumptions and will leave me crap reviews. I know itâs not the greatest supernatural fantasy novel ever written.
Iâm not in it to make money or get a movie deal and see my merch all over the shelves and get my own theme park. I write so that even one reader might see themselves in my characters and know theyâre not alone. So that even one reader has one of my characters as their favorite and that character motivates them to do the Thing or keep moving forward or be brave enough to finally do whatever theyâve been too afraid to attempt before. I want to help people, even if at the end of the day, my writing only helps myself.
Yes I need supplemental income (who doesnât these days). Itâs the way of the world. But Iâm doing what I love in my free time and it is a real job because it takes work, and it might not have monetary value but its value to me is priceless.

"Are You Expecting Someone?" (Millie Bright x Reader)
One thing about me is I love a bit of fluff! I couldnât leave Millie all heartbroken and sad :(( I hope y'all enjoy and thank you to @wosoobsessed for giving me my first request
Part 1 | Part 2
Request: âIf you could do something angsty that would be great maybe they have an argument over something silly where they are shouting at eachother and then Millie says something very hurtful by accident and the reader gets rly upset and storms out to go stay with her parents and then a few days later Millie finds her and apologisesâ ~ @wosoobsessed
Words: 1.9k
It had been several days since Y/N had walked out on Millie and it was the longest either had gone without speaking to the other in the year since theyâd met.Â
Showing up on your parent's doorstep with a duffle bag over one shoulder and tears running down your cheeks you were immediately embraced. Your mum pulled you into the house, fretting over and caring for you.Â
Feeling a childlike comfort from being back in your parent's home you had spent the past few days curling up with them on the sofa for movie nights and completing mundane errands.
You were attempting to enjoy your time with them as if nothing had happened; until you were alone in bed, listening to the horrors of English weather beyond your window panes.Â
At which point all thoughts would turn to Millie. To the hurt she made you feel but also to the desire for her to be with you, warming you in her arms as you listen to the wind and rain outside.
The thought of texting the blonde had crossed your mind more than once as you lay under your mountains of blankets. But the overwhelming guilt you felt before and due to your walkout was almost suffocating. And the hurt you felt when Millieâs words echoed through your mind still burned you every time.
âą âą âą
A week. Millie had spent a week in an empty home, moving through her day-to-day tasks robotically. Sheâd walk the dogs, sheâd go to training, sheâd come home, sheâd eat dinner, and sheâd go to bed.Â
Most of the Chelsea girls seemed to adapt to avoiding their vice-captain and the attitude she had gained over the days. A number of them continued to make an effort to engage with her though, whether itâs Sam always aiming to gain a giggle or Madga trying to initiate a safe space to talk. Each of them received the cold shoulder. Millie didnât feel she deserved the empathy her friends were offering.Â
Unknowingly to either, she found herself in the same place as Y/N each night. Laying in regret, self-loathing and misery. After powering emotionlessly through the day she allows herself to feel, to feel all the guilt which flooded her the moment she heard the door close.
âą âą âą
Day seven, a week apart, also coincided with Chelsea Match Day-1. Walking into Cobham the first thing the defender heard was Emma Hayesâ voice calling out to her.
âMillie! In my office, please.â With an instinctual roll of her eyes, she follows behind her manager, taking a seat opposite her.Â
Slouching uncomfortably in her seat, Millie feels like a school child awaiting punishment in the headteacher's office. Scanning over one of her most senior players, evidently emotionally drained, Emma lets out a sympathetic sigh before beginning the conversation sheâd been hoping she wouldnât have to have all week.Â
As Millie listens she fights to upkeep her stoic expression. Emma expresses that her attitude this week had not been appropriate, that her football had been lacking, and eventually informs that she will not be making the starting line-up the following day. The news is surprising but Millie knows it shouldnât be.
âWeâve allowed you some time to see if things would change but this is now having a knock-on effect on the team and thatâs something that canât continue. Millie, I have known you for many years now, I care for you deeply, and Iâve never seen you this way. Iâm concerned and Iâd like you to tell me if thereâs anything we can do to help. I need you to know while weâre a workplace we are also here to support you. Is there anything you need to or would like to talk about? Would you like me to organise a therapy session for you?â
As she gazes upon the woman who has been such a staple in her life for so many years she can't continue to fight the tears which begin to well in her eyes. Emma meets the younger blonde's eyes as she finishes her speech, and the tears begin to fall; âEmma, I fucked upâŠâ
âą âą âą
Since being home you had tried to distract yourself with as many positive habits as you possibly could in hopes to divert the sympathetic gazes your parents would send your way. They had provided simple comfort the night you arrived, not wanting to pressure you and simply allowing you to cry it out in their arms over mugs of hot chocolate. But since that day had become increasingly more worried as you adamantly refused to address the situation. Especially as theyâd noticed your previous two favourite topics, Millie and your business, had been dropped from all conversation.
Wandering into the kitchen, clad in athletic attire, you go about making the smoothie bowl which had become a lunchtime staple of your day throughout the week.Â
âGood morning darling, how are you today?â Your dad looks up from the newspaper heâd been flipping through as you enter the room, coffee steaming on the table.
âFine!â You nod, âjust been to the gym.â Your casual conversation is interrupted by the shrill of the doorbell ringing. Making confused eye contact with your father you ask, âare you expecting someone?â Receiving a simple shake of the head in return you notice heâs making no effort to move and head to the front of the house yourself. Pulling open the door you're faced with a sight you least expect. Staring face to face with the blonde youâd been missing you canât help but freeze.
Despite being the one who stood outside your family home Millie seems equally as shocked to see you. The two of you simply stand there. Staring at each other. For several minutes.Â
âY/N/N,â Millie is the first to find her voice as she lets out a deep sigh and her face floods with emotion, âI missed you so much.â
She reaches out a hand as if to grab yours when sudden realisation crosses her face and her arm falls limp. âI am so sorry!â She begins insistently, âI was so out of order! With everything! And-â Feeling the howling wind and seeing spits of rain begin to dampen her hair you tug on her arm interrupting the apologies that had begun spewing out of her mouth.Â
You do your best to sneak Millie past your parents, knowing them seeing her will only spark further integration and you want to be sure of the outcome between you first.Â
Eventually arriving in your childhood bedroom you push a nerve-filled Millie onto the single bed and begin pacing back and forth trying to find your words.
A groan for the woman on the bed breaks you from your thoughts, head snapping to the blonde instantly with a raise of your eyebrows. Quickly you notice the reason for the complaint. Her eyes are running over your body, eventually settling back on your face as she notices the attention sheâs gained.
âYouâre killing me Y/N, please!â Looking over your sports bra and legging-clad body one last time she shakes her head free of thoughts and pulls off her hoodie.Â
You can't help but laugh as she throws the item toward you, despite the upset she had caused you she was still your Millie and the moment of normality settled a level of nerves within you. âPut it on please?â She begs, âand then sit down with me, Iâve been thinking about this moment all week, I just need you to listen. Please?âÂ
Looking down at the sweatshirt you nod reluctantly, tugging the item over your head it falls oversized around you. The scent that engulfs you almost springs tears to your eyes, the comfort it brings is one you had been dreaming of for multiple weeks now.
Creating sweater paws over your hands, you take a seat on your bed, back resting against the wall and knees to your chest. Milleâs eyes follow you as you settle yourself into a comfortable position, eyes meeting hers expectantly as you wait for her to speak.Â
âY/N/N I donât even know how I can make it up to you. I was entirely out of order. I donât want to make excuses but I want to explain why I said all those awful things. I didnât mean any of it, I promise. I just got scared. Some of the girls had been teasing me because you werenât there and usually you are. I guess they got in my head and I convinced myself you wanted to leave me so unconsciously I thought pushing you away would stop me getting hurt,â taking a regretful sigh she lifts your chin gently, your eyes meeting, âI was so, so wrong! It only made it hurt more knowing how much pain I put you in. I promise you, watching you walk out that door will always be my biggest regret. I know you might not be ready now but I will be right here when you decide to forgive me. No matter how long it takes.â
Just allowing yourself to sit in Millieâs presence and process her words you stay silent. However, this evidently concerns her as she pulls her hand hesitantly from its place on your face and begins anxiously fidgeting her hands before making a move to stand. At the sight, your eyes grow wide and a hand instinctively reaches out to latch with hers. The thought of her leaving you again is the last thing you want. Looking back towards you Millieâs eyes soften as you gaze at her with an innocent vulnerability, âcan- can I ask you something?â
Gripping your hand tighter as you stumble over your words the blonde nods, âanything baby.â
Inhaling deeply you manage to blurt the question which had been swirling in your mind the most all week, âwhy didnât you follow me out?â The mere thought of why Millie hadnât followed behind you that day was enough to bring you to tears. Had she wanted you to leave? Had you become an inconvenience? Had she found someone better?
In stunned silence Millie sits stoic, opening and closing her mouth like a fish, she canât quite believe the words sheâd heard. After several moments of your nerves increasing by the second, your girlfriend finally rediscovers her voice, âis- is that what you wanted?â She seems genuinely confused as she says, âI wanted to give you space. I thought you wanted space!â
Snapping your eyes from your tangled fingers to Millieâs face you watch as her lip begins to tremble and her eyes begin to water. Clutching tight with one hand you lift the other to settle carefully on her cheek, âplease don't give me space,â you whisper, âthatâs the last thing I want with you.â
Millie still appears unsure despite your reassurance, âI promise,â you insist gently. You link your pinkie fingers together and bring hers to your lips, creating the most intimate contact since you reunited.
âI canât promise to forget everything immediately, this is something we will need to discuss. But I know you were hurt and tired so I forgive you.â You speak softly but seriously, Millie listens intently and nods in understanding. Looking at her, really being with her for the first time in several weeks you canât help but request the one thing thatâs been on your mind. âBut please,â Millie is serious, ready to do anything you want, âcan you just hold me for a while?â A smile breaks out on your girlfriend's face immediately, unbridled joy emitting from her at your words. She canât help but chuckle at the innocent puppy eyes you send her as she opens her arms wide and encourages you into them.Â
 Your head lays on Millieâs chest and her chin rests atop it, fingers smoothing through your hair and with a single kiss to your hairline she whispers, âI love you Y/N L/N.â

I watched the second fma Netflix adaptation. Hereâs the best of my notes:
They had the whole fma original soundtrack to use for this movie and tHEY DIDNT??
Purification arts of Xing?? Just call it Alcehestry like they do in the show?? (No I didnât spell it right I was noting stuff as I went and didnât look it up)
Okay the weird pause before Lan Fan pulled out the smoke bombâŠ
ITS AN ACTUAL BOMB?????
Lots of weird pauses and slow-moâs to mimic anime fights but it reads weird as live action and I donât like it
HUGHES THANK FUCK PLEASE MAKE THIS LESS WEIRD
Wtf never mind hi envy with your shit ass wig (I forgot they killed off Hughes in the first one đđ)
LAN FAN BODIED HIM LMAO
Ed really be like âyou do you igâ
âYeah people exploding today!â Is my favorite line so far. (English Captions with Japanese audio; this was the train hijacker guy from fma 03)
Edâs expression when Mustang shows up is the most in character thing I will say that (after train stuff)
I will say they did better on characterization this time around I feel like theyâre close to the actual characters
But itâs hard to get close to them since they arenât, well, animated characters. Trying not to judge too harshly.
Not terrible so far actually
Okay nevermind about the cgi WHAT IS WITH XIAOMEI
âI mean, weâre just some decent human beings.â -Ed who wanted to leave Mei behind
GO OFF MEI YEAHHHH TELL HIM THE BITCH
Okay weâre gonna have a really awkward explosion-over-short moment that just will not work because it isnât animated
GIRLIE ARE YOU HAVING A SEIZURE
Mei being a bitch back is warranted
They be running
âYouâll never catch me, tiny rice man!â -Mei (rice man?)
The dialogue being altered where Ed says he doesnât have a god to pray to before scar kills him bothers me
I like Alphonseâs movements on the ground when heâs incapacitated, I think the cgi works well there
Hi Mustang good on you for saving your pseudo sons
Riza with the side eye lmao
The slowmoâs again like hello
ARMSTRONG HIIIII You look really fuckin weird tho But HIIIIII
Okay the flexing I can do without thanks it looks weird
Yes Breda why is he shirtless
The red eyes donât look good either. (For scar)
N ow see why wouldnât you put in a leitmotif for the brothers theme in this scene with Ed and Al and instead just put in sad piano that sounds vaguely similar to it
WHERES THE LINE ABOUT THEM BEING BROKEN BUT ALIVE WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE THAT
Riza being the best and putting her coat over Ed >>>>
Mustang go comfort your sonâs PLEASE
Okay just ignore that Iâm on the found family train
Girlie that looked like a bad PowerPoint presentation WHY WOULD YOU DO IT LIKE THAT?? (The part where the officer shot the ishvallen child)
Gluttony⊠hi⊠againâŠ. Canât wait for your cgiâŠ. (It didnât look as bad tbh)
Sorry but with the military uniform off and just the white collared shirt he looks LIKE A DAD LIKE CMON (Mustang)
âYouâve grown⊠at least I think.â -Hoenhiem, observational genius
âI think I like this scene better than canon a bit actually? Cause Ed gets to express his emotions more than just calling him a bastard
Okay Hoenhiem just ignore him??
Uh oh they have to walk back together
âOur hair matches :Dâ -Hoenhiem
Ed immediately takes his out of the ponytail
Im not gonna lie I chuckled at that
Also I love seeing Ed with his hair down we donât get enough of that
âstop following meâ -Ed
âweâre going to the same place? đ„â -Hoenhiem
Okay weâre talking about Xerxes instead of Ed and Alâs mom orâŠ?
And the bitch is gone
YOURE GOING TO XERXES WITH AUTOMAIL YOU DUMBASS YOURE GONNA OVERHEAT
Ooooo love the look of Xerxes ruins
Awwww Winryâs parents :D we get more of them
Theyâre gonna die tho and I hate that :(
This is gonna be so hard wrenching actually-
GIRL IM GONNA CRY
5 minutes into Central and youâre already causing trouble, good job Ed
Al I feel like has the weakest characterization so far in this adaptation heâs just reacting to stuff rather than doing stuff as far as Iâve seen
Scar when Winry is having a breakdownđ§
Ruhroh Winryâs got a gun
Okay the slowmo makes more sense here
Ed saves the day :D
Also we finally see scars brother after getting no context on him
Good acting on Lan Fanâs part
Also why is this calling her Ran Fan? Is that a dub thing (they called Ling âLinâ but this was all in the captions so Iâm confused)
âKing Bradley is a Homonculusâ very serious Ling âhUh.â -Ed
Any Mustang and Hughes content is good Mustang and Hughes content I donât make the rules
Also itâs good they didnât change the layout of Rizaâs explanation montage for Ishval because it works really well in canon and translated pretty well to live action
Riza and Royâs speeches near the end >>>
Oh great the bros are gonna try and catch scar alone this can only end well
Well they definitely didnât catch him
WINRY HOW TF ARE YOU HERE??
MUSTANG WHY TF ARE YOU HERE???
Oh hi Riza :D
Mustangâs like âlet ur gf speak to him if she wants like damnâ
Edâs like âbb girl if he says anything shitty Iâll fight for youâ
WINRY GIRLBOSS LUV HER
âHell no I donât forgive you for shit, but Iâm gonna patch you up anyway.â -Winry
Okay cool message, someone must endure pain if it means they can prevent further suffering and cycles of violence
Uh oh Gluttony escaped
He be runnin
YEAH ED AND AL SAVE UR DAD
YEAH SCAR SAVE WINRY
YEAHHHHHH
âWait I wonât leave you behindâ MUSTANG BEING A DAD AHEGWIWNWN
âColonel your fight is elsewhereâ SCREAMING
Oh hi envy
ED SAVINF LING
and they got eaten lmaoïżŒ
Yay weâre all trapped in Gluttonyâs stomach :D
Envy is so cynical what a bitch lol
âTf is a portal of truth đ§â -Ling
Oh great weâre gonna get cgi envy this will go well right?
EW
Could be worse but
EW
Conclusion: it was okay. There were parts I genuinely liked. There are things that also bug me to no end. The soundtrack from the original series wouldâve fit way better and a lot of times it sounded like an off brand marvel track. Acting and cgi was a lot better (at times.) An improvement on the first one, and a semi-worthwhile watch if you have nothing else to do and you like fma. Cannot and will never be a substitute for the original obviously. Seems like less of a cash grab and more of a genuine effort this time which I appreciate. Overall? 6.5/10
(Lemme know if yâall want my full notes version because it has way more of me screaming and being goofy)

The stars are watching us
Dark Cosmic Jhin x reader
Notes: it's the first smut I've ever written and english isn't my first language so please bare with me. Sorry if there are many errors. The reader had fem anatomy but the gender isn't specified or anything.
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The air felt warm, your mind dizzy. You don't remember when was the last time you had spent time with him, not like this at least. Being an aspect wasn't all that bad, surely some things could be better, like having more time to yourself instead of having to help others, but the chances that your situation brought you were enough to forget about the bad things. One of them, if not the most important, was Jhin. You met him eons ago now, you saw him getting corrupted by the dark star but nothing could change about how you felt about each other. His change in demeanor wasn't difficult to adapt to, he always had a strange way of thinking, something you loved about him, something that made him so different from the other celestial beings that you befriended over time. Unfortunately, yours and his situation didn't make it easy to be in the other one's presence, a rare occurrence that basically happened everytime you had a bit of free time and could finally be welcomed back in his arms. Now it was one of those times, an even rarer one if we want to call it that: you had just finished helping the lunari near Mount Targon, their fights with the solari only got worse with time and at the moment you were one of the only people available to lend a helping hand. This left you exhausted, your energy spent and the only thing you wanted more was to go back to Jhin, who was probably busy trying to come up with a new "artistic" was to destroy entire planets.
"Hey, too busy to say hello?" You said, chuckling slightly as you approached your lover, his back now turning away from you and making you able to finally see him.
"Your entrance keeps lacking artistry my dear, but I suppose that after all this time I should have gotten used to it" yeah not the most beautiful answer he could say but luckily you knew him enough to read between what could have been taken as an insult and understood that he was still pleased to see you.
"Got anything to do, other than destroying pieces of galaxy I mean?"
"Nothing in particular, the new constellations were finally finished two moons ago and even if they weren't I wouldn't miss an opportunity to spend time with you just to fix stars across the galaxy". It felt nice to know that he still cared about you, not that you doubted him, but it was reassuring to know that he preferred staying with you rather than doing everything else, even the important tasks that he really had to do.
Unfortunately before you could say anything else he decided to speak again:
"You had something on your mind, didn't you?"
"No..." If others could say that you were a good liar he sure wasn't one of those people, after so many years spent together he was able to read you well, probably too well.
"And you are sure about that love?" His question made you look away from his face, a confirmation of his suspicion. While your conversation didn't start long ago you somehow failed to notice the proximity in which you two were in. Feeling one pair of hands grab your waist you put one of your on his mask, his head nuzzling against it while looking at your face, your cheeks heating at the gesture. Another set of hands were now on your hips, his claws digging into the flesh of your thighs while he pulled you up, now face to face with him. Your right hand found purchase on his shoulder while the other moved aside his cloak, exposing his skin to you. Despite living in the vast Cosmo he somehow always had the same body temperature, he felt warm under your touch, almost as if inviting your fingers to started tracing patterns along his chest. The two hands on your waist moved up, now resting just under your breasts, a promise of what was to come if you really wanted it.
"I know what you are trying to do love, I see that your tricks haven't changed" he chuckled while one of his hands went between your legs, gently touching you where you needed him most. His action made you try to close your legs, only to remind yourself that you wrapped them around his middle. A whimper escaped your mouth. Damn it, the only option now was to try to distract him and hope that he didn't hear you...which was kind of difficult considering that you were right next to his ear. In an half hearted attempt you started kissing his collarbone, leaving light marks only visible to you. The fact that his body was slightly transparent, and literally looked like the galaxy that was around you both, should have made it harder for you to notice the bruises that were slowly forming on his skin, it was the opposite actually: over the years you noticed that those places started slowly filling up with little stars, almost making the patch of skin glow. You knew he enjoyed pain so when you noticed that one of the marks you made had a droplet of blood you decided to lap at it with your tongue, only to then suck again on the same spot making him groan. The clawed hands that were grabbing your waist finally decided to do something, now opening the buttons of your shirt and exposing your body to him only to start playing with your right nipple while the other kneaded your other breast. The hand between your legs suddenly stopped moving, making you look up at him to question the choice only to find that he was already expecting that as your response, answering your question by pressing you against the fabric of his pants. The gesture making you whine softly when you felt how hard he was, hoping to finally feel him inside you. Unfortunately for you, your request was left unfulfilled when he decided to move you away from him just the right amount no not feel it under you anymore.
"Please Jhin, seriously it's been too long, I know you want this too so just get on with it" the desperation in your voice was palpable, but the only answer you got was your lover laughing near your ear.
"You really are desperate, aren't you my dear. So tell me, what exactly is that you what me to do mmh?" Even if you couldn't see his expression you could still feel him smirking while saying that. "I just want to feel you, do just that, please..." Maybe you should have specified how you wanted to have him inside you since the next thing he decided to do was pulling your pants down only to press a finger in you, your walls tightening around it, happy to finally feel something even if it wasn't what you originally meant. He started pumping his finger at a steady pace while one of his other hands started rubbing circles on your clit, your hands were now on his shoulder for support even if the two hands that were earlier playing with your breasts were now again on your waist, keeping you where he wanted. After a while he decided that it was probably better to add another finger, with now two of his digits constantly going in and out of your hole you couldn't really keep your voice down, your moans filling his ears while the sound of your wetness constantly being played with filled the space around you. Your head was now dizzy and you didn't notice when he moved back a little, having you basically sit on top of him, only to find out that in this position his fingers could reach deeper inside you, making you whimper.
"Enjoying yourself, aren't you? You really are a canvas worthy of being painted by the most talented hand...luckily for you you will" you were too far gone to understand what he meant, only nodding along with what he said. With no need for his support anymore his hands started undoing the metal belt that kept his pants on, his erection visible from under the fabric, only making you want to touch it more, which you did. Your reward was hearing him hiss your name, words strained because of the feeling. It didn't take long for him to take off his garments, making you able to finally see his cock. It was basically the same color as his body, the tip just a little darker and glistening with a thick bead of precum.
"Well you seem to be enjoying yourself too no?" You almost purred in his ear, putting one of your hands between your legs to gather some wetness, only to start touching him, spreading the mix of fluids on his dick while you played with his tip. "It never ceases to amaze me that it sparkles, you know? I mean I know that they are literally stars but still... it's always so pretty to see" your talk about how much you liked how his cum looked probably didn't help him since you felt him twitch under your hand. At this point you decided that almost torturing your poor lover really was a fun thing to do so instead of keeping your hand there you got up a little, feeling the hands that were playing with you move away enough to allow you to basically sit on with without actually having him inside you. Those same hands now found purchase on your hips, digging their claws in your skin while you started moving slowly, your slit covering his cock with your wetness while your clit sometimes touched his tip, making the both of you moan. While doing this was fun and all that, you noticed that it was probably too much time since you last played with his nipples, now more sensitive than before. You would have continued doing your thing if it wasn't for him to basically stop you, his hands moving you away from his lower half so you couldn't keep on making him feel too much at once.
"I'm sorry love but I think that it's time to change pace, it would become boring if a performance kept the same one for the whole show, wouldn't it now?" Before you could question him you felt his tip at your entrance, thanks to the mess you both made the stretch didn't hurt much but it still left that tingling feeling in you. In one motion the rest of his cock was now buried in you, your walls sucking him in, while the both of you tried to not make too much noise. Your hands went back on his shoulders while two of his went to your hips and one back at playing with your clit. With now only one hand free he found out that the best thing to do to hear your voice was to put his fingers in your mouth, two of them on your tongue while his thumb stayed under your chin, keeping your mouth open and coating his digits with your spit.
"You don't know how beautiful you look right now, it really is unfortunate that such an image cannot be preserved in time" not even after saying the entire phrase he started moving, at first he opted for only pulling out and thrust back in, reaching that one spot that made your vision grow white, but over time he decided to change that, only to start going faster. The hands on your hips guiding your body as he wanted while praise after praise he kept pounding into you. You knew you wouldn't have lasted much longer and he knew it too, deciding to add to the feeling and press down harder on your clit making you moan louder. Your mind felt dizzy, your limbs were going numb and in those last few moments of total consciousness you heard him say something along the lines of painting you just as he said... When you finally came your nails were digging a little too hard in his shoulders. It didn't take long before he finished too, unfortunately or not, inside you, quite literally painting your insides with his cum, only to feel it drip down your hole and unto his things. "You should look down darling, you seem to have forgotten the best part" without even having the time to look down his hand gently grabbed you chin, tilting your head down and making you see what he was referring to.
Evidently too much time passed since the last time you two did this because you totally forgot that his seed was basically glow in the dark, or at least you could see where it was inside of you through your skin. You touched where it was dripping out of you but before you could see it clearly it basically evaporated, making those little star like glitters that made it oh so pretty dance in the air around you and slowly transforming into real little stars.
"I was right, it really is pretty..." You now had a fond smile on your face, deciding to bring your lips to his mask you kissed him gently, hoping to at least now convey how much he meant to you.
"Wanna know something my dear?"
Humming in response you waited for him to continue.
"We probably have to stay like this if you don't want dozens of stars to randomly spawn around us... I think you know what I'm referring to" if it weren't for the fact that at exact moment the only thing in your mind was how much you loved him you would have probably smacked his face. Luckily for him enjoying some more time together was the thing you wanted more at the moment, unfortunately he still had to go back to his "work". It will be fun finding out which excuse he'll use tomorrow when Ashe will ask why he wasn't doing his job and why there were so many new stars floating around the Cosmo.

learned the word "porfa" on spanishdict today and i read its just a shorter version of "por favor"
in your experience, do you see it used often?
and if so like, are there any more notable words that native spanish speakers say differently than ppl who are learning?
like sometimes i listen to ppl learning english, and they're good and also really formal and stuff but like, a native english speaker has less formal way of saying it?
if this makes sense
Yes, porfa is used somewhat frequently as very informal "please" and it's especially used online as a kind of endearing "pretty please". It's not appropriate for anything formal, but in everyday Spanish porfa can be used if you're trying to be a bit cutesy or have fun
Also por is often shortened to po and para is often shortened to pa. So you might see pa ti "for you" instead of para ti. One joke is like pa Ă©l y paella "for him and for her" but with pa ella "for her" looking like the word paella
Other expressions I've seen that you can adopt:
holi / holis / holitas = hola = hi [slang] alĂł = hello [from "hello", kind of slang but sometimes German-ish] chao / chau = ciao / bye [informal and fairly common] bye / bai bai = bye [adapted from English, informal] Nos vemos. = See you later. [lit. "we will see each other"; standard Spanish] ÂżOntas? = ÂżDĂłnde estĂĄs? [though ontas is sometimes used as like... idk a fuckboy kinda thing like "where you at" or "you up?" like someone messaging you for sex/attention might say that; definitely slang but makes sense when you hear it] ÂżQuĂ© tal? = How are you? / What's up? [standard Spanish] ÂżQuĂ© hay (de nuevo)? = What's new? [standard Spanish] ÂżQuĂ© onda? = What's up? [informal, I think understood in most places but to me I associate it with Mexico because of that song] ÂżCĂłmo va? / ÂżCĂłmo te va? = How's it going? / How's it going for you? [standard Spanish; but you can hear it in the song Oye cĂłmo va] ÂĄBuenas! = Hey! / Hi! [this is because of the expressions buen dĂa "good day", buenos dĂas "good day/hello", buenas tardes "good evening", and buenas noches "good night" all using bueno/a... Essentially ÂĄbuenas! is a just all around "hello"... one of the youtubers I follow frequently starts his videos with muy buenas a todos which is like "hey everyone"; I feel like it's informal and a bit slang, but also widely recognized and understood]
I personally if I'm being cutesy and saying "hello", I will say things like holanda instead of hola [please also note: holanda means "Holland" OR it can be "fine linen" or "doilies"]
I've also been known to say ola "wave", olla "pot", holĂĄ which is just hola with added whimsy etc etc
-
In texting you see even more slang, like xk meaning porque "because" or sometimes x k? / xk? as por qué "why?"
This is because por is also the word used for multiplication (x), so tres por tres is "three times three" or "three multiplied by three", shortened in math as 3 x 3
And if you want to be cutesy - like almost obnoxious - and say adiosito that's something like "toodle-oo"; it's just a little adiĂłs
-
Some additional regional things I know: ¿Qué lo que? "What's up?" which is Dominican and I think is sometimes used in the Caribbean.
And also ÂżQuiubo? for "What's up?" or "How's it going?" which is more Central American.
...
I would also add ajå for "uh-huh", na for "nah" or ni modo or qué va "no way", sip for "yup", lo que sea "whatever", ay which is just a general "oof" or "yikes" or "ow" or "oh wow" like a general negative surprise word, and eh being "hey" as both a greeting and interjection
And every so often my friend from Puerto Rico will use jamĂłn instead of jamĂĄs to be "never ever", like "that's a definite no" or "never gonna happen" - it's sort of a bigger jamĂĄs but if you didn't know the context you'd think it was "ham"
You will also sometimes see pos used instead of pues so it could be "well/then"
In Chile po is used a lot, kind of like an affirmative but used so often it's kind of like staying "of course"
And I don't know if this is used widely but clarostĂĄ is sometimes used as "of course", but it can be understood to be a more rural or country bumpkin kind of way of speaking...
The more fluent you are, the more your words will blend together so you'll end up with clarostĂĄ or claro estĂĄ, or tol dĂa for todo el dĂa "all day", pa na for para nada, and that's actually how you get ontas from dĂłnde estĂĄs
There are definitely bound to be others so if anyone else has any fun common slang greetings/goodbyes please let me know!

âș OTHER BITS
He lives in a softer vocal range, measured, steady and unassuming voice, making subtle sarcastic jokes and seemed like a quiet man until situation calls for it.
Such as when he's teaching a class or training recruits or on a mission or working, his voice can boom across a room and when he speaks like that, people listen.
He's been trying to wane off the habit more over the few years, but sometimes he still slips into the habit of using military terms, calling the hours by the hundreds, and only really catches himself when someone looks at him funny.
He's a very quiet laugher, a chuckle here, a scoff there, but if you're lucky to either have known him when he was younger or heard him with his guard down, he has a very charming, melodic laughter if it ever slips out with the brightest smiles, it's much rarer as he grew older, but it used to be known as the thing that draws people in.
He actually likes shortening names or using family names as nicknames a lot, a habit picked up from the marines, he responds to Ryder as quickly as he responds to Ashton or Ash.
He's a little bit tone death, please don't ask him to sing or hum, it won't be pretty. He unfortunately did not inherit his mom's lovely singing voice, perhaps just a powerful booming voice for other things, like yelling at recruits.
The way he talks about the stars and the sky and space, there is a special endearing tone it his words, soft, humbling, full of wander and curiosity, the reminder of their insignificance on a tiny rock in space.
He becomes especially quiet when he drinks, similar to every time he goes quiet, a lot is running through his head. But when he drinks, it numbs everything out, as if finally enjoying the numbing silence while he still could, before reality comes rushing back at him.

How well do each of your muses handle spicy foods?
Oh boy! given the fairies were discussing it I'll start with my canons/ocs at the SDM and then include some others that are interesting.
My take on Remilia comes from France so to answer this I decided to research a bit on French cooking. While there do seem to be a few spices used in traditional French meals they seem to have very few with hot spices. Remilia was born in 1491 and became a vampire in 1511. In the time that she lived foreign cuisines were not too readily apparent and I head canon she began eating a lot less upon going vamp so modern time hasn't given her much opportunity to adapt to spice. With that in mind, Remilia doesn't handle spice well at all.
A lot of the factors for Flan are pretty much the same with just slight variance. Frenchish (except technically her home is now in Belgium) born in 1496 became a vampire in 1515. The difference is that Flandre did not have a break with eating as Remi did. Since Flandre doesn't control her strength she can't effectively feed on blood so she has to eat actual meals. FDS reveals the fairy mades do a lot of the cooking but personally I headcanon that Meiling had been with the manor long before the fae staff (Sakuya may well have too). That means Meiling probably did a fair bit of the cooking in the past. Chinese food has a lot of spicy dishes. Meiling probably knew better than to just feed Flandre super spicy food but she can at least handle a bit of kick. Not Mapo Tofu but some other curries she can manage.
My Patchy was raised in China by Italian merchants. Both cultures have a good amount of spicy food in their cooking. However the issue is that Patchouli has several health problems (Anemia, asthma, etc). Personally, as someone without any of that, I am not sure what impact spicy food can have on that. For that reason I'm tentatively going to say that Patchouli handles spice okay but that they irritate her throat in large qualities. So only small doses of spice please.
Chimata is a Japanese market god. Don't know much about Japanese food but from what I can find they don't have many national spicy foods but that Chinese and Indian spicy foods have always been popular there, also some regional spicy foods. Spice itself has always been a big part of merchantry, which gives Chim-chim a good reason to have pretty big stockpiles. I think Chimata actually has the best spice tolerance of all my SDM muses. Spicy food is probably her preferred meal. Lots of Mapo Tofu for this lady.
For my rarely appearing Sakuya muse, she was raised in Mexico. Ate a lot of hot spices before being recruited by her vampire boss. Unfortunately, Remilia's distaste for spices means that since coming to the mansion she hasn't ate anything spicy. After all, the meals prepared are for Remilia (even if she often does not feel like eating). For that reason her spice tolerance has sagged with time.
Now for my SDM ocs.
Mizu is basically a water bucket brought to life. Capsaicin is an oil and her body is even more water than a human's is. Do not give her spice. It will just cause her entire body to feel like it were burning.
Fairies are nature spirits and Summer is one for the hottest season of the year. I don't think she'd have any problem with spice. In fact she enjoys some of the spicier peppers quite a lot.
Don't give the goblins spice. They're English house spirits, the hottest thing they've had is horse radish.
Lavender is not prepared for spice. She does not have Patchouli's background but does have her poor constitution so spicy food will wipe the floor with her.
Now a few other characters:
Reimu does not even seem to process that she's eaten something spicy when given it. Unphased.
Eirin will, similarly, eat some of the hottest peppers and spices known to man and look totally unphased afterwards.
Yuuka very specifically likes Mapo Tofu. Nobody has seen her eat any other spicy foods.
Byakuren can scarf down spices with no problem. Seems to really like it.
Reisen ate a bell pepper and became horrible pained. No spice for her please.
