The way Boeing just showed up in the last 3 episodes and started MASSIVE amounts of shit jfc, he's in everyone's business and I hate it that he's not in MY business 😭😭 anyways I love him and he's an unhinged god that's all I wanted to say thank you
Anon, let me honest here. I wanted Fluke Gawin to play Boeing. Half of Tumblr was rooting for Mix. Yet we got Mond, and everyone rejoiced.
And you wanna know why?
Because it's Mond.
Tumblr media
I just don't love Boeing. I love Boeing because he is played by Mond.
When episode ten ended, I thought, "who could have played Boeing like this?" Yes, the character is written this way, but what actor would have made me *this* happy to watch Boeing do all he did in forty minutes?
Mond.
Tumblr media
Because he is shipless. If Mix would have kissed Book's character, folks would have been in their feelings. If Fluke Gawin would have asked First's character to get back with him next week, people would have cheered for First to leave Khaotung because DANYOK! Mond ain't kissed no homies yet, so even those of us in our GramYok feels want them to kiss, but we aren't opposed to Mond stopping there.
Tumblr media
Because we want him to kiss all the homies. Mond has always been *so* close to the homies who kiss (Waterboyy, Kiss Me Again, Not Me, P.S. I Hate You),
Tumblr media
Yet is never really one of those homies, so there is an unreasonable amount of people invested in this man kissing a homie.
Tumblr media
Or eight homies.
Tumblr media
Oh, and Mond plays morally fucked up very well.
Tumblr media
So well, in fact, that he has you feeling bad for his crazy ass.
Tumblr media
And the reason you feel bad is because you were cheering for him knowing darn well he was choosing violence every single day, but he made you not care! *fun fact - his character's name is Badz here
Tumblr media
So, yeah. It's Mond. Khaotung makes everyone cry around him. Gun makes everyone shippable with him. And Mond makes unhinged god work for him.
Tumblr media
Does that power lie in his big brown eyes? His beautiful plump lips? His earth shattering abs? I have no clue, but as six people wrote in the tags for my last post - #I NEED (HIS CHARACTERS) IN A WAY THAT IS CONCERNING TO FEMINISM
Tumblr media
This man got me all the way fucked up.
Tumblr media
And I like it.

Tsukki Headcanons ❤️ - NSFW
Just some musings on my favourite Sendai Frogs middle blocker ☺️
Warnings: nothing super explicit. Mentions of sending nudes, hair pulling, and oral sex
Minors keep away from the cut and DNI!
Beta readers? Pft
Tumblr media
Listens to any and everything but with a purpose 👌🏾. Ask him for a recommendation in any genre and he’ll give you a top 5 tier list. Has playlists arranged by mood, genre, vibe and occasion (he even has one for you that he will literally never tell you about but plays often. He just tells you it’s his favourite mix). Dude is highkey a music snob. Like he’ll listen to a song in any genre but it better be a fucking ✨S tier song✨ or he will Judge. Will never concede the aux cord.
Meanest tutor ever. Will have you crying at the kitchen table asking the same question till you get it right. “If Johnny has 5 apples! 😤” typa tutor. But his notes are amazing and he’ll always lend them without question.
We already know how I feel about clingy Tsukki. But let me reiterate: this man is obsessed with being in your personal space. Like ”I’m gonna go take a shower.” ”….. without me? 😒”
But he also respects your space when you need it. Just don’t be gone too long or he’ll get lonely. He’s highkey touch starved.
An impeccable driver. And unreasonably hot while doing it. I’m talking hand on thigh, arm on headrest when reversing, will do your seatbelt HOT. And you’re his favourite passenger princess. Tsukki refuses to let anyone adjust your seat. If they’re feeling cramped they’re more than welcome to sit in the back, or even better, walk.
A great cook. He lets you be the taste tester when you cook together. If you can’t cook this is the one time he has an amount of patience teaching you. He is, however, a horrendous baker. Tried to make you valentines day chocolates and you had to throw out the tea towels cos they somehow ended up singed. You laughed till you cried he’d have been hurt about it if you weren’t so beautiful
Likewise, his actions speak louder than his words when it comes to affection. Obviously he compliments you and tells you he loves you, but only on special occasions like birthdays, christmases and blowing your back out ten ways till sunday. But mostly he’ll show you how much he cares by treating you like royalty. Carries your bags while calling you weak, says ‘no’ every single time you ask for a favour but does it anyways, takes you for walks to your favourite ice cream shop and pays for both of you while you bitch about a character in your dumb show that he hates (read: binges with you and gets invested in)
A slip it in while you watch a movie kinda dude. At this point the Netflix subscription is for show. There is literally no point in trying to watch something with him because your legs will be over his shoulders way before the halfway mark.
Much like his actions speaking louder than words, he’s willing to try anything once if you suggest it. This has led to a very interesting bedroom life. There were obviously things that you both decided weren’t for you, but Tsukki would do anything to please you even if he’d never confess it. Once you asked for a personalised dildo so you could have his dick whenever you wanted as a joke. It was there by next week.
Loves fucking you in public. You guys are banned from THREE different lingerie stores. You’re 65% sure he only takes you out so much so he can find somewhere to fuck you, since it’s how most of your dates end. The Karasuno gang clocked you two on a club night when Noya and Tanaka took a badly timed trip to the bathroom. They are constantly embarrassed when you two go missing for half an hour and return dishevelled.
Send. Him. Nudes 😩 Especially when he’s busy. He sends them back and holy shit are they art personified. He heard “don’t send dick pics, send cumshot vids with the sound on” and boy did he run with it in the best of ways. Has a password protected folder for all the filth you send each other.
Speaking of nudes, his dick is so pretty. He doesn’t even manscape. It’s just long and slightly curved with just the right amount of hair. Also so much pre-cum. He was actually a little embarassed by it until he saw how much you loved licking him clean.
Pull his hair and listen to him moan. If you pull it hard enough when he’s close he will just cum. He definitely wasn’t embarrassed the first time it happened. Now it’s sort of a game to see if you can use it to get him off when he’s going down on you.
He’s reconciled with the fact that he has a volleyball brain. Seeing you at his games, and feeling your eyes on him as he jumps blocks is like foreplay to him. It’s always a race to see how quickly he can get you naked and under him after a match.
I will undoubtly have more thoughts on this, because I spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about Tsukishima Kei

post/734733274896809984/do-you-ever-worry-your-own-writing-might-come-off that makes sense. i was asking because i'm afraid of accidentally writing misogyny myself and i kind of admire what you do
Hmm... I wish I had better advice to give you on this front, but honestly, the only thing I can tell you is to consider the perspective of your female characters.
Women are people. They have thoughts and feelings of their own, so like... just let them have their own arcs. A lot of the worst misogyny in WC comes from the way that the writers just don't care about their girls (or, in the case of tall shadow, actually get undermined and forced to rewrite entire chapters), so they're not curious about their lives, or WHY they feel the way they do or what they want, or any direction for their character arcs.
Turtle Tail as an example. She'll often just end up feeling whatever Gray Wing's plot demands. She's gotta leave when Storm dumps him to make him feel lonely. She shows up again to love him in the next book. Lets her best friend Bumble get dragged back to Tom the Wifebeater, but is sad enough about her death to be "unreasonably angry" with Clear Sky, and then calms down and accept Gray Wing is right all along.
And then she dies, so he can have his very own fridge wife.
In this way, Turtle Tail's just being used to tell Gray Wing's story. They're not interested in why she would turn on Bumble, or god forbid any lingering negative feelings for how she didn't help her, or even resentment towards Clear Sky for killing her or Gray Wing for jumping to his defense. She isn't really going through her own character arc.
She does have personality traits of her own, don't misunderstand my criticism, but as a character she revolves around Gray Wing.
So, zoom out every now and then, and just ask yourself; "Whose story is being told by what I wrote? Do my female characters have goals, wants, and agency, or are they just supporting men? How do their choices impact the narrative?"
But that's already kinda assuming that you already have characters like Turtle Tail who DO have personalities and potential of their own. Here's some super simple and practical advice that helped me;
Tally the genders in your cast. How many are boys, how many are girls, how many are others?
And take stock of how many of those characters are just in the supporting cast, and compare that to the amount you have in the main cast.
If you have a significant imbalance, ESPECIALLY in the main cast, fire the Woman Beam.
It's a really simple trick to just write a male character, and then change its gender while keeping it the same. I promise women are really not fundamentally different from men lmao. You can consider how your in-universe gender roles affect them later, if you'd like, but when you're just starting to wean yourself off a "boy bias" this trick works like a charm.
Also you're not allowed to change the body type of any girl you Woman Beam because I said so. PLEASE allow your girls to have muscles, or be fat, or be old, or have lots of scars. Do NOT do what a cowardly Triple A studio does, where the women all have the same cute or sexy face and curvy body while they're standing next to dwarves, robots, and a gorilla.
Or this shit,
Tumblr media
If you do this I will GET you. If you're ever possessed by the dark urge, you will see my face appear in the clouds like Mufasa himself to guide you away from the path of evil.
Anyway, you get better at just making characters girls to begin with as time goes on and you practice it. It's really not as big of a deal as your brain might think it is.
Take a legitimate interest in female characters and try not to disproportionately hit them with parental/romance plots as opposed to the male cast, and you'll be fine. Don't think of them as "SPECIAL WOMEN CHARACTERS" just make a character and then let her be a girl, occasionally checking your tally and doing some critical thinking about their use in the story.
(Also remember I'm not a professional or anything, I'm just trying to give advice)

Why I Hate Adrien
So a few people have asked me why I hate Adrien so much. I've given it some thought, and I've realized that my hatred comes from 3 sources:
1. Adrien is a passive, useless character and a waste of screentime.
Adrien is a very passive character. He doesn't really have goals that he works towards outside of romance. He doesn't feel like a real person with a real life. He's just an object for the actual main characters to fight over. And to be clear, not every character needs to be active or well developed, but thei screentime should correspond to this. Adrien takes up a massive amount of screentime in the show. And since he ended up being worthless, I feel like he personally wasted my time by appearing so much. His screentime could have instead been used to develop the other characters.
2. Adrien is a creator's pet.
While Adrien doesn't really do anything in the show, I think I still may have felt bad for the character if I felt like this was because the writers didn't like him or something. Thing is, Adrien is the complete opposite, as the writers are clearly biases *for* him at every turn. He's almost always portrayed as right, even in situations where he clearly isn't. "Chameleon" clearly portrayed his "advice" about Lila as good, even though anyone with basic respect for their peers wouldn't be okay with letting them be lied to. There's episodes like "Kuro Neko", where Adrien is very clearly in the wrong amd being unreasonable, yet he's still clearly framed like we're supposed to feel bad for him. Part of the reason he has so much screentime is because the writers love to insert him in every situation they can. Even his status as a passive character can be considered as the writers favoring him. They think he shouldn't have to do anything because he's such a precious boy, so everyone should just do everything for him. I'm not inclined to like a character that I feel is getting special treatment just because of who they are.
3. Adrien does horrible things.
Those last 2 points definitely provide potential for me to dislike a character, but I don't think it's possible for me to actually do so if that character hasn't done anything wrong. Well, despite what the writers want you to believe, Adrien has absolutely done a lot of horrendous things. There's the fact that he continued being friends with Chloé despite her remorseless bullying of Adrien's "friends". He keeps trying to date Ladybug despite her repeatedly rejecting him, to the point where it's straight up harassment. This culminates in "Kuro Neko", where he quits his job of protecting the city because he keeps getting rejected (again, this is portrayed as sympathetic). Like I mentioned before, he tells Marinette to let Lila continue lying to everyone else. And why does he do this? I honestly don't know, and neither does anybody else. There's no rationalization for this moment. But the point is, Adrien put Lila above everyone else for some reason. He also emotionally cheated on Kagami, hurt her feelings, and barely cared afterward. He didn't have to do anything to make up with her, that just worked out on its own. He tried to Cataclysm multiple people despite knowing that it can be fatal, and the only time he displays real remorse over it is when Monarch is on the receiving end. Oh, but he only feels bad for like a minute, then he's fine (I believe that that was just to make Ladybug's exposition about not being able to fix it fee more natural, he wouldn't have shown any remorse if that wasn't necessary). Oh, and then there's that one moment in "Passion" where he pretends not to know what the consequences of making a wish is and tried to convince Ladybug to let him make one. If she said yes, he would have sacrificed somebody else to heal Nathalie. The show has made it clear that this is morally wrong. To me, this is the moment where Adrien became irredeemable. Also, in the Paris Special we find out that Adrien became a mass murdering supervillain in an alternate universe because he's sad that his mom died. He didn't have any grander plan, not scheme to bring her back like Gabriel did. Nope, he just killed people because he was sad, that's how they presented it. I know that this is technically a different person, but the alternate characters from tbe special are meant to be pretty close to the originals, just with different circumstances. So I think this shows who Adrien really is deep down. So yeah, I think Adrien is one of the most despicable "good guy" characters ever.
So that's the reason I hate Adrien, in 3 parts. I wouldn't hate him nearly as much if it wasn't for all 3 components. Kind of a perfect storm really, and I don't think I'll ever hate another character this much, for this reason.

The Legend of Vox Machina: Vexations (3x03)
I have a feeling people are going to have VERY strong opinions about a couple of things in this episode!
Cons:
I want to start with a small thing that I haven't seen people talking about, but that bothered me probably an unreasonable amount. When the gang is together in Draconia and they're discussing their trip to Hell, they decide to split up so that someone can be on the other side to guard the pathway back out. Kima, Allura, Vex, and Percy end up staying while the rest of Vox Machina go through the portal. And this moment of separation featured no significant looks or goodbyes or angst or worry at all, really! I can't believe Vax didn't have parting words for Vex, or anything. It was a strange moment because it's ultimately a small detail, but I really noticed the lack of ceremony given to it. It kind of downplayed the dangers of Hell, how casual they were about separating and going there.
This is another small thing, but I feel like "Kiki" is being overused as a nickname this season, by Vax especially. I feel like Kiki was always kind of a cutesy name, but she was called "Keyleth" 90% of the time, especially in serious moments. So having Vax call her "Kiki" in moments of angst just landed slightly awkwardly to me.
Okay, let's talk about the romances: I'll have a lot of positive stuff to say in a moment, but I want to start here. I remain validated that the flipping of motivation between Vax and Keyleth feels very strange to me! And I think it does a disservice to both of their characters as I understand them from the original campaign. For Vax, I think him having angst and doubt about his relationship to the Matron of Ravens is an important part of his story, and I can totally understand why those feelings getting tied up with his romance with Keyleth would happen. But, here they have him presenting it as not really anything to do with his relationship to his goddess, and more to do with the lifespan angst of Keyleth living on without him? Which... okay... I understand him being concerned about that for her sake, sure, but she's saying it's okay with her and she knows the risk, and he's still trying to be all noble about it? That's not... Vax.
And in my opinion it does an even bigger disservice to Keyleth's character. It's like she's skipped a couple of steps on her character journey without us getting to see it. Her coming to the conclusion that joy today is worth pain tomorrow is such a beautiful sentiment, but for me, at least from my memory of the campaign, she has to fight to come to that realization through the process of coming into her own as a leader, as well. What was so endearing and realistic to me about the Vax and Keyleth romance in the stream was that it was a story of two people who really cared for each other but who were mismatched in terms of where they were in their emotional development. Keyleth is nervous and inexperienced and not ready for love when Vax suddenly declares his love and plants a kiss on her in the campaign. She's wishy-washy and kind of hurtful for a while, getting close and pulling back, as she tries to work out what she wants and what she's ready for. But here, in the show, they start the arc that same way in Whitestone, but then in season two it seems like Keyleth is ready to give it a try but Vax rebuffs her by being too caught up in Matron Angst. Then here in season three, Vax kisses her, promises to have her back, fails to have her back, and then basically breaks up with her. It's not a good look for him, and it does this weird 180 reverse on the expected dynamic between them.
All of that to say, I like that the Vax/Keyleth romance is plagued by this very earnest angst and insecurity, I like that they have a lot to work out between them and that they have all these little false starts along the way. But the framing of it feels wildly off from what I would have expected!
Now onto Percy and Vex: I think I'm going to ultimately end up very happy with the romance and how they portray it in the show, but I will admit to a moment of flabbergast and disappointment when I first saw Percy pacing in the hallway outside of Vex's room holding those glasses and that bottle of wine. I said, out loud, "What?! Now?!" I kept thinking about Glintshore, and the resurrection ritual, and the talk in the woods, and Percy going in for the kiss - such a wildly different way that their romance is cemented in the stream, vs. what we see here. I think this is a perfectly valid story and it doesn't feel out of character for either of them, honestly, but there was this initial reaction from me that was a little bummed out to see it shifted so dramatically. Now, I assume we're still getting Glintshore and we're still getting certain confessions, as we would want to see them from the stream. But the context sure has shifted! I'm just a tiny bit wrong-footed by it, in a way that I think comes from my attachment to Percy/Vex as a ship in its original form!
Pros:
Okay, that was a lot more time spent in the "cons" section than I usually do for these reviews. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, I still thought this episode kicked ass. I'm so willing and in fact so excited to see how the show adapts the romances that I've just discussed. I think we'll end up with stories that are different from the stream, but not inferior. It's a different story, and when I frame it that way, I feel like there's plenty to be hyped about here.
Starting with Percy and Vex, I am just in love with the hardcore flirting, Vex shooting her shot, Cassandra pushing Percy down the stairs to go to her room... there was the moment when Cass accuses him of being smitten and he immediately replies "so what if I am?" That was so refreshing, to skip right past any suggestion that Percy's going to be in denial about this. And then the sex scene - it's so funny, for the most part when I watch this show I'm swept up in the story and I don't think about the Critical Role cast saying these words exactly, but hearing Taliesin and Laura make sex noises actually made me flustered, I was like "those are good pals Laura Bailey and Taliesin Jaffe pretending to have orgasms! Aghh!" So that was funny.
But I honestly thought the scene was great, I thought the juxtaposition between their raunchy night together with no proper talk to speak of, and then Vax breaking Keyleth's heart down the hall, was honestly great framing to set up these relationships moving forward. It puts Vex and Vax on this parallel path, where even though they're coming at these romances from different angles and with different perspectives, they're grounded by similar core insecurities. Vex has always been afraid of letting people too close because of how bad she's been burned before, and Vax has always held on too tightly to the people he loves out of fear of losing them. Both of them are having those insecurities play out in their romance arcs, which I do like - setting aside all the stuff I said about Vax/Keyleth above.
And there were great moments for both sets of romances during the rest of the episode, too - The heartbreaking innocence of Keyleth's response when Vax says they can't be together: "But, we kissed." It was just so sweet and tender and I felt so much for her. I really, really liked the moment when Vax asks Keyleth if she's okay, and Keyleth replies: "I have to be." That's... giving me a lot of Campaign Three Keyleth feelings, I must say. It kind of feels like that's the place she's in for a lot of her life, and it's so sad!
And the Percy/Vex of it all, it really is murdering me. Vex saying "call it a tryst, call it a mistake, call it whatever you want" is like... ouch, girl, you've got a big storm coming! But Percy, whose arc this season is about moving forward from the guilt of his past and embracing what he wants from his life, is being the sweetest most darling perfect gentleman! Him running to her and holding her on the ground at the end, and then Vex giving her speech about how they can't be anything serious because she's afraid of losing him, and Percy kissing her on the forehead and saying "as you like"... seriously that's some romantic-ass shit, de Rollo, congratulations on being so hot.
I don't want to forget the awkward failed Scanlan and Pike kiss, oof, that was painful to watch but in the best possible way. I loved Scanlan just immediately apologizing and backtracking and saying "what is wrong with me". The angst setup with this character is just so exquisite, I'm beside myself about it to be quite honest. Also just want to note the beauty of the animation in that moment, Pike with her hair down, the gnomes in the moonlight...
One thing that I think makes this episode quite stellar, despite my specific qualms, is that they really just lean into the romance drama from every possible angle. Right alongside all these Vox Machina entanglements and difficulties, we've got established-relationship badasses Kima and Allura along for the adventure to Draconia, and turns out they've got bitter lesbian drama with one of their former party members! We love to see it!
For reasons obvious to long-time CR fans, the Draconia arc here has quite different connotations than in the original stream. Whereas before, Vox Machina had an emotional tie to the place through Tiberius, and they honored that in the story even through the difficulty with you-know-who, here in the animated show there's no such complicated tie to this new location. So, much like with Gilmore and Ank'Harel, they chose to give some other popular NPCs an emotional tie to Draconia through Dohla. She's a dragonborn who used to run with Kima and Allura, had unrequited feelings for Kima, and then felt embittered when the two of them got together and got all the credit after locking Thordak away in the Fire Plane, leaving her on the outside of the glory. 
It was fun to get these glimpses of backstory for these characters. I loved how awkward Kima was about the whole thing. I also loved that Vorugal killed Dohla; it was such a shocking an unexpected moment in the episode, and you really felt for Allura as she cried out and tried to save her. Despite Dohla's betrayal, that was a former beloved friend and party member! And of course as our episode ends, Kima has fallen off the cliff edge and we don't know where she's at, Allura and Percy and Vex are trapped in a cave, and the rest of Vox Machina is off in the Hells! The stakes get higher and higher every week, don't they!
Small details I don't want to forget: I didn't mention last week, but we got yet another mention of Zerxus in this episode as the contact they're looking for in Dis, and I am SOOOO pumped! I assume Luis is going to be voicing him? Is this one step closer to my dream of getting a Calamity mini-series? Can you imagine? And then they can do a Downfall one... I'm greedy, but I want this whole Exandria saga animated, please and thank you! Also just to mention, loved the animation of Hell, already got so many creepy and interesting details, such good color and gore. I'm sure we'll see more of that next week. And same with Draconia, what an amazing location design.
I can't believe I have to wait a whole additional week to see what's next! But at the same time, I can't believe it's going to be just a few short weeks until the whole season's over... curses! I have to dock this one a little bit more because of my questioning of the Vax/Keyleth plot in specific, but I'm still wildly entertained and excited by what I'm seeing.

modern!got/hotd. - character building
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(a/n): this is my own interpretation of modern!au got and hotd. if you disagree with me on some ideas, I truly do not care. this post can be used for story ideas and references for modern!au fics. if you’d like me to add a specific house, I will do so! this can be changed into a college!au as well. all notes are appreciated. tag list: @hopelesswritergall @twizzy123 @daenerysapologist @clairacassidy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Stark family is well known for being extroverted and friendly individuals who love outdoor activities, sports, and almost anything that gets their blood pumping! They're known to show unreasonable amounts of loyalty to their passions, peers, partners, and family; sometimes being described as almost dog-like. They're proud owners of the Winterfell Wolf Sanctuary, where they teach the wolves who cannot move out into the wild to adapt to humans, their new environment, and even other animals. Each Stark is bonded to a wolf pup at age 10, raised alongside the beast and learning to love them as family and not just a pet.
main characters.
Cregan Stark, Jock: Adopted Cousin, taken in by Ned Stark. Co-Captain and proud defense player of the Iron High hockey team alongside Jacaerys. He's often been described by his peers as ambitious and family-focused, very territorial and defensive of his blood. (Demiromantic, Demisexual)
Robb Stark, Jock: Star quarterback of the Iron High football team. He's often been described by his peers as a playful and tough-loving individual. He shares his territorial sense with his cousin, Cregan, defending his name with pride while also befriending anyone, no matter how different they are from him. (Demiromantic, Demisexual)
Jon Snow, Middle-Grounded: Step-brother to the Starks, apart of the Iron High poetry club. He's often been described by his peers as mysterious and mildly-aggravating. To be honest, he dances around clubs and tries to find an after school activity that "speaks to him." He knows nothing about poetry, but he continues to go to the meetings merely to seem edgy, “deep”, and mysterious, which pisses off Aemond Targaryen. (Straight)
Brandon Stark, Nerd: Organizer of the Iron High eSports team. He's often been described by his peers as self-reserved and passionate. After losing his ability to walk, he needed to feel involved in something. He Twitch streams in his spare time, mostly practicing for tournaments with his friends on the team. He grows insecure over his loss of feeling in his legs and feel mildly pathetic, but can't bring himself to admit it. (Straight, Demisexual)
Arya Stark, Sporty: Star batter of the Iron High softball team. She’s often been described by her peers as competitive and passionate. She finds herself making small things a competition, urging to win and prove her worth to those around her. Though, underneath it all she’s struggling with romantic feelings, trying to identify her true sexuality and self. (Bicurious)
Sansa Stark, Popular: Running for student body president against Rhaena Targaryen. She’s often been described by her peers as sociable and kind. Though under her kind facade, she can be quite judgmental and catty when it comes to certain people. Definitely two faced on occasion. (Straight, Asexual)
Tumblr media
The Targaryen family is well known for their sly and intelligent bloodline, that also ties into the Velaryon line. They’re a mix between sociable and lacking desire for social interaction with those around them, tending to go about tasks that test their smarts rather than their athletic capabilities. They’re said to start arguments that they know they can win and play games of wits to get what they please, which causes them to butt heads with the Lannisters. They can be seen as almost snake like. Each Targaryen child owns their own reptile, mostly based on personality. Their parents saw it as an outlet to keep responsibility and build emotional connections since most Targaryen children are neglected by their parents, and they can be seen as undesirable from time to time, which makes them lack friends.
main characters.
Aemond Targaryen, Mildly Popular: Though he isn’t apart of any specific activities or extracurricular activities, he can be seen with his siblings on most occasions. He’s often described by his peers as sly and cocky. People think they’re friends with him, but he truly as no interest in them and doesn’t remember their names. You can find him with Helaena, helping her with tutoring students, or with Aegon as his designated driver. He spends his time studying when not looking after his blood. When he was younger, his cousin had accidentally cut his eye while they were hunting, which had sent him into a entirely different personality, and Lucerys into disciplinary action and house arrest though the action was not intentional. (Demisexual, Demiromantic)
Aegon II Targaryen, Player Jock: Left-Wing hockey player on the Iron High hockey team. He’s often described by his peers as flirtatious and manipulative. He was hit the most by his parent’s neglectful ways, drowning himself in sexual relations and alcohol at they parties he goes to. You can often find him feeling up women at college parties, kissing on their necks and trying to get in their pants to feel some sort of relief in his life. Though, he holds terrible commitment issues and leaves the men and women he messes with immediately after getting what he needs from them. (Bisexual, Demiromantic)
Helaena Targaryen, Popular: Hosts tutoring for those who need it at Iron High. She’s often described by her peers as shy and gentle hearted. Her fascination with the outside world and aesthetics is both strange to most but can also be seen as admirable. Though she doesn’t go out of her way to talk to those around her, she seems to have accumulated an abundance of friends in the years of attending school. (Biromantic, Demisexual)
Daeron Targaryen, Social Butterfly: Though he has no true social status at Iron High due to being in the shadow of his brothers, sister, and cousins, he’s still known by quite a few. He’s often been described by her peers as exciting and adventurous. He holds deep insecurity for his lack of popularity like the rest of his family, but he continues to try to be open and exciting. He loves to go out with his sister, Helaena, during lunch and feed the small bugs pieces of fruit. (Biromantic, Asexual)
Rhaena Targaryen, Popular: Running for student body president against Sansa Stark. She’s often been described by her peers as kindhearted and easygoing. In her days of making friends, she tries to involve herself with every group without discrimination. She’s very well known for her genuine kindness and playfulness. (Straight, Demisexual)
Baela Targaryen, Sporty: Proud member of the Iron High pole vaulting and weightlifting team. She’s often been described by her peers as prideful and feisty. She is openly bisexual and close with her cousin Helaena and Arya Stark. She’s very open about herself and presents herself honestly, a powerful and passion driven young woman. (Bisexual)
Daenerys Targaryen, Popular: Distant cousin to the Targaryens, she’s well known for her beauty and kindness in competition to Cersei’s. Her peers often describe her as emotion driven and a pacifist. Wildly loved by all, but spited by some, her kindness spreads within the walls of Iron High and her aspirations drive her and others toward their future goals, attempting to motivate and befriend those around her. (Demiromantic, Demisexual)
Tumblr media
The Velaryon family is well known for their ambition and balance in situations, enjoying the outdoors and physical activities unlike most of their cousins. They’re very kind souls, open to new things that’ll test their limits. They tend to become competitive at times, striving to please and be the best they can, though sometimes they can’t control themselves and sometimes people can get hurt. You often see them around the Stark kids, usually play wrestling with one another. Though, the Velaryon boys are products of a cheating scandal with their mother and a man named Harwin Strong, who soon ended up becoming their stepdad. Though, she holds a love for another who most speculate is Daemon Targaryen.
main characters.
Jacaerys Velaryon, Studious Jock: Co-Captain with Cregan and goalie on the Iron High hockey team. He’s often described by his peers as easygoing and loyal. A dedicated man to his work, you can often find him studying in his cousin’s study group to try to balance his grades with his sport. Though, occasionally he’s at parties trying to find a relaxation point between his schooling and constant training. That dedication makes him a ladies man, even though he’s merely kind to them and hasn’t intentionally tried to make anyone swoon. (Demiromantic, Demisexual)
Lucerys Velaryon, Extroverted Sporty: Goalie for the Iron High soccer team, he’s not very passionate about the sport he’s pursued in and is hoping to join his brother on the hockey team once the season rolls around. He’s often described by his peers as exciting and innocent. Girls tend to flock around him since he’s quite the small cutie, and he doesn’t seem to enjoy the attention too much. He’s very focused on his brother and protecting him from the other people who are eyeing him down, not understanding completely why so many girls take a liking to the two. (Straight, Demisexual)
Tumblr media
The Lannister family are well known for their pride and riches, their children spoiled rotten and blessed with beauty as well. Though they aren’t very physically active, they make up for it with their manipulative and convincing personas. It’s known that if you challenge an Lannister to a battle of wits and cleverness, you will come out a loser. That is, unless you’re a Targaryen. It’s hard to match the passive aggressive personality of a Lannister as well as their ability to masterfully lie to those around them. Though, the Lannister children face abandonment issues and a craving for their father’s approval after their mother’s passing. So, it leaves them lashing out on those around them.
main characters.
Cersei Lannister, Popular: Not involved in many activities after she had stopped cheerleading due to suspicions of her and her brother Jaime being TOO close, she’s mostly seen painting her frustrations away in the art room during lunch. She’s often been described by her peers as two-faced and defensive. She has many friends and is well known for her beauty within the school, but no one is safe from her rumors. No matter how close you think you are to her, she will never find you desirable and will talk lowly of you at any moment. (Bicurious, Demisexual)
Jaime Lannister, Jock: Linebacker for the Iron High football team, he’s very passionate about the role he plays in this school. He’s been often described by his peers as “the good Lannister” and awfully cocky. Some people find his self confidence bothersome and distasteful, while others find it endearing. Though, he spends quite a bit of his time near his sister, which makes people raise questions on how close they REALLY are. (Bisexual with female preference.)
Tyrion Lannister, Party Animal: Much like Aegon, the drinks and women are a way to bury his deep feelings. He’s often described by his peers as witty and sly. When short guy season comes around, you’d be surprised by the amount of women that are on him. Though he tries to remain humble, as he puts it, by keeping his body count a mystery. (Straight)

I have the house to myself because people are at a sportsball party
So what else would I do but keep watching spop amiright
s1 ep8 lez go
YES IT'S PRINCESS PROM AHAHAHAH
Tumblr media
Oh, that explains why (in a muuuuuuch later episode) there's that little ideal future and they're at Scorpia's ball (iirc)
Tumblr media
Catra: I NEED TO BE IN CHARGE Scorpia: party!
Tumblr media
Poor Scorpia
Tumblr media
Catra: giving a passionate-if-faked pep talk to Scorpia (like I get she's manipulating Scorpia here into going to the party, but it's still the kind of thing Scorpia should hear!) Also Catra: still real mad about Adora!!!
I cackled, y'all. CACKLED.
Tumblr media
I mean she's...not wrong...
Okay I know it's just how this kind of show works and isn't important but it implies the Ball is known about for years in advance, but the invites only actually go out like a day or two before?? IRL that would be such a disaster because they don't even know the theme until they get the invite. The sheer amount of logistics/planning attending something like this, including the outfits...
Tumblr media
This was intended to be Lolita fashion and you can't convince me otherwise
Also CATRA. They intentionally made her look so, so gay and hot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Same, Catra. Same.
Adora (to the weapons-check person): be careful with it, don't lean it on something with the other swords or it might get confused!!!
Poor Adora. I suppose if I had an object that made me both popular and nearly invincible I'd be upset and worried to be separated from it, too.
Tumblr media
It's Molly and Nate!!!
Tumblr media
🎶Just like the viiiiine🎵
Tumblr media
I love that we know these characters enough that they can just say a couple of lines here and imply a ton more. Anyway Mermista's outfit is great.
Tumblr media
This is literally their entire dynamic. They're clearly together, Sea Hawk is loud about it, Mermista is (mostly) pretending to hate it.
Tumblr media
Sorry this is shot is just great
Glimmer's jealousy (over Bow coming to the ball with Perfuma) is SO ANNOYING and I know that's on purpose but boy do I hate most "jealousy makes them obnoxious" plots
ANYWAY one small note: you can tell their budget for this episode is just not very high, because the characters in the background are so often not moving or only moving like one thing.
Tumblr media
Oh hey, Netossa and Spinerella! (...and Molly again lol)
"Bow isn't the type to just leave his old friends behind, and neither am--" *Scorpia and Catra walk in*
Tumblr media
DIDN'T THINK YOU'D SEE HER HERE, HUH, DIDJA
I can't screenshot this bit but it's so good:
Catra, in her most fake-gentleman voice: I love rules and obey them all the time Adora in the most high-pitched voice possible: YOU DO NOOOOT
Tumblr media
🎶Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you🎵
...I'm showing my age again. But also I'm looking at the lyrics and ngl they nearly all fit. If I knew how to make fanvids, I could make a vid that like ten people would watch.
Instead I'm working on a fic like ten people will read, heyoooo
*cries*
BACK TO THE GAYS PRINCESS PROM
Tumblr media
is there crack-y pwp of this please say yes
Tumblr media
Once again reminded of that fanvid of every time they say each other's names in the first two seasons
Tumblr media
Literally cannot see Adora opening that without the "bah-dm tsh!" sound affect in my head from watching that video so many fucking times
Tumblr media
Bow is so delightfully emotionally intelligent
Entrapta: have you met my new assistant? She brought snacks.
When Entrapta said "assistant" Catra's ears literally did a wiggle. Oh my gooooood
"she stole my food and asked me to spy on people with her,
Tumblr media
lolol
Tumblr media
once again whether the sword is actually sharp-edged or not is entirely dependent on plot
Scorpia is unreasonably hot sometimes
Tumblr media
im gonna chew my fingers off ghgha;lksdhka;
I remember the screenshots/gifs of this scene hitting tumblr--that moment when every hopeful sapphic fan watching the show when it released went OKAY WAIT we're not making shit up this time are we??? ARE WE???
Tumblr media
Also at least one person working on this show likes period dramas where tons of emotional plot happens during extremely formal dances where everyone is barely touching
there's nearly a billion gifs of that scene from one of the versions of Pride and Prejudice, but also:
Tumblr media
once again proving my advanced age, this movie came out when I was 17 and side note I'm the same age as Claire Danes, anyhoodle
Tumblr media
Has Adora been dancing Lead this whole time
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HNNNNGNGHGHGHHHHHH IT'S SO GOOD
Tumblr media
EXTREMELY UNDIGNIFIED NOISES Adora literally has one thigh between Catra's gghngng
Tumblr media
i want to EAT IT
I'VE HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT FOR THIS POST LOLOL i don't wanna cut any out imma post this and then reblog it

Not to get too deep into the weeds on the unseen events referenced in 1.1 "Eric Bittle", but I had always assumed that this flashback from 4.24 "Class Day" is showing us a glimpse of that first day that he met the team.
Tumblr media
It's a pecan pie. In the present he's talking about what it was like to come to Samwell at first and in the flashback it seems like this is one of the first times that he's going to the Haus - it's not a familiar place to him, he's uncertain about how he will be received. Ngozi loves a good bookend, so a flashback to the very first episode at this point is a slam dunk on pretty much every level...
Except that for that to be the case, some of the early comics have to have a less than obvious chronology. The episode where Bitty tells his followers that he's found regular access to a kitchen and we see Shitty give the tour of the Haus happens a significant amount of time after the events of 1.1 - in the first episode Bitty is going to the team's first skate more than a week before freshman orientation and by 1.2 classes have already started.
So, is there a way to make sense of the timeline so that the pie pictured in the 4.24 flashback is the one REDACTED? Maybe?
My vision for what happened is that the day of 1.1 had a number of team events; first skate with the team at Faber, where they took care of things directly related to the hockey part of being a team. Then the freshman were given a tour of the Haus which we see in 1.4 (making those scenes a flashback) and then some kind of party that evening at the Haus that we only see in the 4.24 flashback.
I'm taken with this idea (as you can see by this whole ass post I'm writing) for a couple of reasons. One, Bitty IS the pie - metaphorically, repeatedly, over and over in the comic. This flashback being to the time when he offered his first pie (his true authentic self) to the team and for them to absolutely love it in their own raucous unhinged way is very appropriate. Two, I like the first pie being offered at a social event at the Haus and not at Faber/First Skate because it makes sense to me that that is where the real emotional stakes lie for him - do these people accept Eric Bittle the person away from the structure and context of hockey? (That being said, showing up to Faber with a pie is exactly the sort of thing Bitty would do, and is a very good reason for the team to do something "felonious" like eat the pie with their hands.)
Further ruminations:
If Bitty had known about the Haus kitchen for weeks, why go multiple updates before mentioning it? The meta-narrative of Bitty's vlog introductions could be out of order, but I don't think it's unreasonable at all that he just decided to focus on other things before getting to the vlog where he talks about the Haus kitchen. Especially if he wanted to something like actually show the kitchen to his followers. The way the comic is structured is such that when events actually happen, when we the comic readers get to see them and if/when he tells his vlog viewers about them are all related but have the potential to be disjointed.
What about the clothes? I had written a whole thing about how it's in character for him to change from what he's wearing to the Haus tour to what we see in the 4.24 flashback, but he's wearing a striped shirt in the post pie-defilement bit of 1.1 so I got nothing.
What is the truth of the flashback pie? Did SMH hold Bitty down and draw stripes on his shirt? Maybe some things are meant to remain a mystery.

I have a new gen Ninjago au that I think is kinda cool... but I'm kinda shy about actually writing it. Basically the "main" main characters are Cole's daughter (it's kind of an Anakin situation) Liann, and Jaya's older child, their son Jamie/Jaemin as the co-leaders of the new ninja team, under tha monastery that is now taken care of by Arin and Sora. What I LOVE about this au, is doing what I wanted to see them do with Cole, with Liann. Let me explain!
In the beginning, despite books mentioning this and making what is implied by the show clear, like I said, the show only implies the pressure Cole puts himself under. The leader position he naturally gets himself in, and all the already existing mental health issues he had at the time. That never became a plot device in the show, but I'd love to see what expectations of a whole ass ninja team can shape the way you see yourself being told on Cole. I wanted to see him break down, I wanted to see his heart break and hurt turned into rage. That's what I wanna do with Liann.
Liann, being Cole's daughter, and living both in the Ninjago City and Land of Lost Things, was involved with the building of the Lost community. So she has the natural leader instincts that Cole is also known for. She was also the first to unlock her true potential, she started her ninja way already an EM. This sorta made the team see her as a role model, too good, much better. But Liann was constantly trying to make them rely less on her, and not assume she has all the answers. Even being co-leaders with Jamie, Liann was under this pressure of being the perfect hero the team assumed her to be.
This leads Liann to being unable to crush their view of her after some point, realising they will always stand behind her, looking at her mouth for answers. She knows they rely on her, she can not crush that. Well that is until, she no longer can.
You see, the whole story starts with Liann breaking the balance of the elemental power magic, by reconnecting Cole to his element to save his life, because at this point only the super healing of the elemental powers can save his life. Liann, being 14 and desperate, uses a long forgotton magic, to reconnect Cole to his element. (He can't use the powers anymore, but is healed by the small amount he still has in him.) What happens after that is that this imbalance of the magic, caused by two people using the same element, which means unusal amount of it being present, causes many new villains and corrupted magic to awaken. So a few years after this initial event, a new ninja team is formed and the new adventures start.
During the story, Liann slowly starts to realise all of this is because she broke the balance years ago. She denies it at first, not being able to accept she is the one reason that so much was harmed, but later she gets so scared to tell the team, let alone the whole world. She fears of crushing the way people see her, she doesn't want to be seen as an evil person, she fears no one will care about for what reasons she did it, and will only look at the conclusion and blame her.
The bigger reason why she feels that way, is because Liann herself blames herself for all that too. It only gets worse over time. She starts to push herself to her limits each time, almost like punishing herself. This is the part I said I would love to see with Cole too. The unrealistically perfect image everyone has of Liann, despite her efforts of trying to show them she is as human as all of them, leads her to having the same unreasonably high expectations of herself. And she punishes herself with doing more than she is capable of as a result. This action of her even leads her to get her powers corrupted at some point, but hiding it as the team counts on her to end the mission and she thinks she has to be in the very front in fight. She harms her body with this action, using her powers despite the corruption.
The climax of this whole arc happens when things start to fall apart, Jamie learns about the fact that it's actually Liann's fault. He first feels betrayed, but exactly because of anything else, but because it took her so long to be honest to him. Despite his initial shock, he keeps being on her side. But in the end, one of their teammates, who I named Max, sacrifices, despite Liann saying she should be the one sacrificing and not him, and during all that the rest of the team also learns about it all. Which results in the image of Liann in their head to CRASH completely.
All this results in the team breaking apart, Liann's guilt getting bigger in her as she blames absolutely anything on herself despite Max opening her eyes before his sacrifice. He does help her by this, but she still has a long way to go. Most of the team eventually gathers together again, this time taking great weight off of Liann's shoulders and realising she is as in need of support as they are.
ANYWAY! This is my silly idea of an au! If you guys wanna, uh, hear more about it I'd gladly talk about it...

LO just doing her usual verbal abuse to her audience on the form of guilt tripping and acting like a dissapointed emotionally abusive mom. "i had great things to show you, i think you'd have loved it, but since i know you won't appreciate them i had hidden them away and it's all your fault. you should have thought it any better!" taking out of the way that this is 1. likely a lie, she doesn't have that kind of self restraint, and 2. her new TSR documents includes things like grooming and even more erasing of Rey's as an actual character so whatever else she wrote about would probably be more of the same... did she seriously said that anyone should pay her for writing fanfiction? artists who want credit for their pieces of art being used are entitled divas, but waiting to be paid for using a universe already made with character she didn't create is not? is LO that disconnected from fandom that she lost the memo that everyone in fandom is doing things for free, simply because they enjoy it? MO's illustrating her pokephilic comic for free, pressumably to make her wife happy, but LO somehow doesn't understand doing anything just because, there has to be some compensation in the end. but just for her! everyone else should just give her free labor out of the goodness of their heart and if they expect compensation then they're the divas, not LO who exploits people without giving them nothing back. i'm... so grossed out by this. you'd think that with everything i know about her i wouldn't be surprised by this anymore and yet, here i'm. it's not just that some of her audience is going to read this and actually feel guilty even though they did nothing to deserve, or that at least some portion of them are going to bite the bait and give LO all the attentions she craves, but LO plainly said that just artistic expression can never be enough, the normal amount of positive attention she gets is never going to be enough. she'll always want more and more and it's the fault of everyone around her for not giving it to her. just for the record, LO treats her friends the exact same way. there's no difference between innocent audience members who watch her casually or friends who have their own lives to take care of. everyone should drop whatever is they're doing to give LO what she wants without even expecting a thank you or any reciprocation afterward. on top of that... there's nothing for the friends or fans can do about "let me be buried under a deluge of harassment"! that's is an extremely unreasonable point to make at all and to use against them, as if they had any power to "let it happen" or stop it in the first place. LO could block the people who harass her. LO could not respond to their messages. LO has the absolute control over what appears on her blog or not, not her audience, but she'll blame them regardless of it because she's that spiteful and emotionally abusive.

I really love this scene from No Más (S3, E1).
Instead of pulling the soap opera shit -
Skylar strolls around the living room, a large bag catches her eye, she opens it and finds a huge heap of cash. The coffee mug from her hand falls down, is shattered into pieces and the coffee spills across the floor. Just then she lets out a loud gasp. Unbelievable!
or something along those lines, they let her have a normal conversation with Walt where she just tries to put two and two together.
Hmm, let's see. My husband leaves the house for unreasonable amounts of time, doesn't care to explain his absence, is suddenly conveniently able to pay for his own chemotherapy (without asking a dime of money to Gretchen and Elliot or even his own mother for that matter) when for the whole time we've been together we weren't so well off at all. He's a high school chemistry teacher. We can't even afford to fix the lukewarm water-heater for God's sake. So, he's obviously up to some illegal shit. Now what would that might be? Given his previous interactions with that Pinkman kid, drug dealing is the most probable answer.
Now that's such a realistic and reasonable way for her to draw that conclusion. This scene in particular was quite impressive in that way.
Skylar initially comes off as quite naïve sometimes but as the show progresses further, she becomes strangely astute, time and again.
I really don't get the Skyler White hate. She's such a realistic character. That's exactly how any normal person would react if they were placed in the same situations as her. I know she can be quite hypocritical sometimes but that's how a realistic human being is like, honestly. We're all flawed. Nobody is perfect. I for one really liked the way she was written throughout the show.
Anna Gunn was perfect as Skylar White and so was everyone else in the Br Ba cast as their respective characters. I love this show so much.

My thoughts and reactions while watching 16.10
Spoilers below
Damn, we starting with ANOTHER flashback? Wait, is this one gonna be Krystall's funeral? I'm gonna cry
Wait no it said 2020, and she's still alive, is this when she tells him she's sick? I will cry
it's gonna be the last time you celebrate your anniversary at all
WORLD'S TINIEST VIOLIN I ADORE HER
This scene is pulling all my heartstrings THIS ISN'T FAIR
Ah shit is Rossi gonna run out of air? Is the air being poisoned?
A profiled delivery scene!!! Have we had those yet this season? I don't think so. I feel like this is a square on someone's bingo card
Did Luke just call Rossi the Unit Chief??? Rossi got demoted in like... episode 3 and is currently supposed to be suspended
Garcia is losing her mind and I know Luke is going to comfort her and I know I'm gonna cry
Is Rebecca going to get her job back> Are they going to try to put Tebecca back together? I don't know how I feel about that
Emily is going off on EVERYONE in this episode and I am here for it
Oh Bailey is so gonna die
"You're definitely the one who likes the gold star" is that what the CME Instagram Bingo was talking about????
Wait, gold star means something. Tf does it mean???
Luke with his hand on the back of Garcia's chair just like old times 😭😭😭
"Why don't Penelope and I coordinate from here" I'm getting Garvez CRUMBS but I am living for it
WHAT IS GOLD STAR
"extralegally speaking" 😂😂😂
The AG, Bailey, and Rebecca working together? I don't like this, although it feels like the AG is manipulating Bailey and Rebecca
IS GREEN DEAD OR ALIVE COME ON TELL ME
Luke filling up her water bottle for her besties i am so unwell
Tyler's only going into surgery now??? That was the big reaction??? Huh???
So far this episode Luke and Garcia have only been calling each other "Luke" and "Penelope" and idk what it is but it pulls on my heart every time it happens
The way he kneels down and takes her arm... it reminds me of "Saturday" 😭😭😭
"Penelope, I don't know, I'm just... but maybe if we lean on each other, we'll have the strength to get through this together." ARE YOU KIDDING ME. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. THAT IS THE MOST ROMANTIC SHIT EVER. I'M ACTUALLY CRYING. HOLY SHIT HE'S SO IN LOVE.
Well, I can cross "Luke initiates a hug" off my Garvez bingo
I'm sorry, if someone looked at me like that, said those things to me, and then held me like that, I would be falling in love and potentially proposing marriage
"Yeah, we can do that, I want to do that" this sounds like every "I still love you" Garvez fic any of us have ever written
HE DID NOT JUST STROKE HER CHEEK I'M UN FUCKING WELL
"Me and you." I'd love that, actually STOP PLAYING WITH MY FEELINGS
"Have some tea, careful it's hot" LUKE ALVEZ THE WORLD DOES NOT DESERVE YOU
This is going to be a scene I come back and watch an UNREASONABLE amount of times. It added YEARS to my life and soothed a part of my soul I didn't realize was hurting. That might have been the most romantic Garvez scene... I think ever. It's going right up there in my favorites with the asking out scene and the entirety of "Saturday"
"His heart is in the right place" ma'am he's a serial killer
Okat, so Sydney's seen Voit on his phone now, so she knows something is up
Shiiiit she found the dog collar
Go OFF Rossi!!!
Rossi, wtaf are you doing????
Did Rossi set up a bomb to break himself out? If so, legend
L E G E N D
Ohhhhhhhhh nevermind, this might have backfired
The fury in Emily's face... Paget's acting is SLAYING this episode
Luke and Tara playing off each other and building on each other's ideas.. I AM SO HERE FOR IT
Krystall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I knew she was coming, but I still love to see her. I still do kind of hope she's not the missing character cameo, but if no one else shows up, I will be using her to cross it off my CME bingo
"I've missed you so much" goodbye I'm c r y i n g
Rossi being so accepting of death 😭😭😭
Voit used his mother's maiden name as the new last name for his wife, this will probably end up being key to finding them
Every time I see Garvez working together... goddamn I love them so much
Ooh, we got the whole Voit background
Okay yeah we were all right when we said Will and Bailey are going to get shot and Bailey's going to die. I'm positive of it.
Ah shit Voit just snapped at his wife
Oh shit's about to go DOWN. The cops have arrived and Voit's brandishing a gun AT HIS FUCKING FAMILY
Okay so we have JJ, Will, Luke, and Bailey at Voit's house... and two of them are getting shot. If Luke gets shot I'm going to sob uncontrollably, and if these are my death options, I am also going to sob uncontrollably
Bailey, the best boy in the world (Luke Alvez) warned you, and you didn't listen to him. You should always listen to him. He's always right.
WHAT. IS. GOLD STAR???
I am stressinggggggggggggg
Luke/Will/JJ is not a trio I realized I needed
"Are we sure Bailey and this cat Voit don't have some history together?" I was wondering the same thing, Will
PENELOPE YOU ARE SO STUNNING I'M STILL MAD AT YOU FOR THE BAD CHOICES YOU'VE BEEN MAKING THIS SEASON AND FOR BREAKING LUKE'S HEART BUT THAT OUTFIT IS GORGEOUS AND I ADORE YOU
There are 20 minutes left and still so much needs to happen, idk if there's the time
Oh, Will's getting shot for SURE
Yep, Bailey just got shot, and if I saw correctly: in the head. He's dead. I think we all knew this was coming.
Ah shit, Voit grabbed Sydney before she could escape. Idk if she's making it out of this alive.
Aaaaaaaand there goes Will.
So you're telling me the only reason Sydney is still alive is because Voit used all his bullets? GodDAMN
YES LUKE!!! GO LUKE!!! SAVE THE DAY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
I completely love that it was Luke who ended up arresting Sicarius. I'm so glad the writers finally gave him his big moment. I would still like to know his backstory, though
Is Voit Mirandizing HIMSELF? Why does that make me laugh?
Tara is doing the I'm-so-mad-my-hair-is-moving power walk and I am HERE FOR IT goddamn she's so stunning
Rebecca I'm going to need you to shut the FUCK UP with your "I feel for you" and just tell Tara what she needs
"I didn't ask for any of this!" Do you think anyone did??????
So are just never going to learn what Gold Star is???
"I'm sorry I hurt you" BITCH YOU HELD A GUN TO HER HEAD AND TRIED TO SHOOT HER
I frankly have no idea how they're going to get Rossi out of this on time
Not how I thought I'd get to cross "a dance scene" off my CME bingo card, but I'll take it.
OH MY GOD IT'S "CHANCES ARE" I'M SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY
I am not well
Luke's overjoyed, "DAVE?" and his fucking smile I'M CRYING
GODDAMMIT YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN THAT EMOTIONAL SCENE WITH GREENCIA?
Greencia breakup??? Greencia breakup????
"is this heaven" *gag*
"Where we keep hurting each other. Or... where I keep hurting you." GOOD. ADMIT IT.
Okay, I am really glad that she is realizing that Tyler is bad for her and is ending things.
GREENCIA BREAKUP!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luke placing his hand on the back of Penelope's shoulder as he guides her out of the elevator 😭💗 WAIT I CAN COUNT THAT AS AN ELEVATOR SCENE ON MY GARVEZ BINGO
ROSSI HUGGING PENELOPE AND KISSING HER ON THE CHEEK 😭💗 HE MISSED HIS DAUGHTER (and, okay, @penelopeminded, I will admit that the Rossi/Emily hug scene was also very cute, but I still stand by the fact that Penelope is his favorite)
BAU group hug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Them toasting Bailey 😭😭😭
garvez scene at the end of the episode??? maybe???
If I hadn't already crossed of "they have a conversation about their feelings" last episode with the date flashback, this scene would have totally qualified
Okay if you try to tell me Penelope wasn't at least a LITTLE heart eyed when she was looking at Luke as he poured them drinks, you're lying. It's getting crossed off the bingo card
"The heart wants what it wants, or else it doesn't care" are we about to get a Garvez confession right now??? Because he said that looking SO IN LOVE WITH HER
"You know Emily Dickinson," she's so impressed (and a little heart-eyed, fight me)
"I know that quote" HE'S STILL IN LOVE WITH HER
Dammit no confession, but he's still in love with her
I'm sorry... they show Garvez... then Willifer... then Tara and Emily??? Are they hinting at something here???
"I don't mean to intrude" ROSSI SHIPS TEMILY
So, I'm guessing "Gold Star" is going to be the plot of the next season
"Oh, WHAT???" (my actual, out-loud reaction to seeing swat people or whoever they are storm the BAU)
Are they breaking Voit out???
Oh god the missing character is about to open that door aren't they
AND WE DON'T GET TO SEE WHO THAT WAS????
Okay, so I'm DEFINITELY going to be watching the next season. I am losing my mind /pos

Hello!! How are you?? So, I absolutely hate ronanc/e. Like you never ever date your friend's ex, especially if it ends badly. Which is what happened. There's going to be a ton a complicated feelings about Steve and ro/nance and even if Steve didn't express his displeasure about it, it would negatively affect Steve's relationship with Robin. Like ST4 completely screwed over Stobin for Stancy. And it drives me crazy that Steve, who canonically has issues with people committing infidelity, would go for someone already in a relationship. And Dustin, Robin and Eddie for convincing Steve to go after someone in a relationship!! And Nancy and Robin barely have a good relationship in canon! Nancy gets annoyed with Robin until she does something helpful to Nancy's cause. (Which is something that is now like ingrained in Nancy's character and I would like for the Duffer's to let her change from it, because it makes her so unlikable and the one of the most unrealistic parts of the show is that no one treats her like she only cares about people until they are useful to her.)
I honestly think people are harsh on Vickie (I adore her, she looks like a really good match for Robin and she's bi! If not canonically, then in my heart.) because Robin is the sole canonical wlw character in the party. So her love interest falls under way more scrutiny and when the Duffer's gave her a similar trait to Robin, people were disappointed, especially with how little screen time she has. And if the Duffers wanted, they could have really easily made Vickie a more prominent character. Have Chrissy take her for backup at Eddie's trailer and have them both go on the run or something. And most non party love interests get the same amount of development. (Take Suzie) However, on the fandom side of things, people will literally make up backstories for Gareth and ship him with Will???? You see this white boy who's a junior and got like 30 seconds of screen time and decides he's a good match for Will, but you see Vickie and deem she is too similar for Robin and won't bother creating backstories for her? People literally do it for Chrissy and ship her with Robin! Nothing against Buckingham, it's just that people will take any character and give them backstories and ship them but they won't do this for Vickie.
I think that the whole Robin and Nancy making fun of Steve things stems from Robin making fun of Steve in ST3 and Nancy just generally being demeaning to Steve in general. And ST4, with every single person demeaning Steve's intelligence did not help at all. And people say that you shouldn't bring a man's feelings into a wlw relationship, but Steve is entangled in this relationship. Nancy was his first love and Robin is his best friend. If the genders were swapped, people would be having a conniption. [Also, I honestly believe that if you swapped the genders of the characters, Steve would get a lot less hate and Nancy would get a lot more, but that's my opinion. Like people would never doubt that Nancy cheated on Steve and Steve breaking the camera wasn't all that unreasonable.]
Anyways, sorry for the long ask, I just have a lot of opinions on ro/nance and platonic Stobin and Vickie! (Also, from above, like Vickie and Chrissy could have been childhood friends but then grew apart but they know they can go to each other for everything, so Chrissy takes her to Eddie's trailer and then season 4 continues with lots of Rockie interactions. I would love to read a ST4 AU like that but unfortunately I haven't seen any of those on AO3 and I have negative writing skills, so I will be waiting for the day that it might come) ~@thestrangerthingsmeadow
hi!! i’m good, thank you.
i’m so glad other people dislike r//nance! the ship feels so difficult to escape within this fandom, which is insane, because it honestly makes no sense to me. i think a lot of people that ship it, ship it because they’re two hot women, and don’t really care beyond that. their personalities don’t mesh well, and their situations in life don’t either. like you said, steve is robin’s best friend and nancy’s ex. it’s just not the kind of thing that mix.
i didn’t love that a lot of stobin scenes became about stancy, and i feel like nancy replaced a lot of scenes that could’ve included robin. it is also weird to me that so many people were pushing for stancy when nancy and jonathan are still together. like you said, steve has major issues with infidelity, and while i can see dustin pushing for steve and nancy (because he loves to involve himself into steve’s love life) i don’t really understand eddie putting in his two cents.
and yeah! nancy really only likes people when they benefit her in some way, which is a really interesting character trait, but not if the character never develops out of it. nancy’s character development has been stagnated for 4 seasons, when they gave her a handgun and decided that was enough.
i love vickie so much and it kills me that the fandom doesn’t appreciate her. i’m pretty sure she’s canonically bi, but people toss her aside for no reason. and while i would’ve liked vickie to have more of a role, i also think it makes sense that she doesn’t. someone compared her to rosie from lotr. the calm in the storm, the peace at home, the hope you long for during horrible times. i know the st fandom loves trauma relationships, but i just love the idea of robin being able to have someone safe, outside of everything horrible that’s happened to her. and yeah, i don’t have anything against gareth, he’s a fun little character, but i have no idea why people love him and will so much, it’s honestly weird. people found the closest in age, good looking teenager they could, and said that’s good enough! wlw will always come under more scrutiny than mlm.
i’ve made a post about how much i hate steve becoming the butt of all stranger things jokes, but it’s even worse if it’s his ex and his ex’s new girlfriend that is also his best friend making fun of him. and i think it’s insane that people complain about a man being involved in a lesbian relationship, like… first of all, it isn’t even a real relationship (not in real life, or even the show) and second, a man is involved. he is quite literally at the centre. you can shove him off to the side, but in doing so essentially create entirely different characters. and i think i made a post about that!! if nancy was the man people would hate her, like she would probably be one of the least liked characters. people would consider it girl power that steve had slutshamed nancy, and smashed the camera. and if you’d had a drunk guy calling his girlfriend bullshit, and saying he’d never loved her. people would think they were the worst person alive.
you don’t have to apologise for long asks!! though it might take me a bit longer to respond!! and i do love that idea to involve vickie more!! honestly if i had written the season, i wouldn’t have given her a current boyfriend, but still, i’m just glad we got her at all. and if that fic existed, i’d totally read it!!

If the pure vessel or hornet ever had kids (biological or adopted) would they let pk and wl meet them? Would they be concerned about introducing them and if so what would PK and WL reactions be?
OH, MY FRIEND, YOU ASKED JUST THE RIGHT GUY, BECAUSE IF THERE'S ANYTHING I'M KNOWN FOR IT IS MAKING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF FANKIDS
I think it would completely depend on how you charactise Pure Vessel and the Pale King. Since while we know some basic stuff on them, we don't get a clear look at their personalities like we do with the other characters. Especially the Pale King, who I've seen both be characterised as a horrible and a fairly alright father (let's just ignore all the baby murder for now).
Other factors include how you imagine their relationship was like, at what point in the story does it happen (post-sealing? maybe an AU where PV had a kid before that?), how far along is THK in their recovery, how do these two feel about their father and mother/step-mother? And also, did PK and WL apologise for their transgressions against their own children, are they remorseful and open to change or do they still mistreat them, would they care about THK and do they try to repair their relationship with them and Hornet? If so, how far along is it; are they just taking steps in amending things or are they further into the process?
In my personal opinion, I think both siblings would be reluctant to introduce their children to PK and WL.
Surprisingly (or not), I think Hornet would be more so than her sibling. Considering the track record her father and step-mother have with children, I don't think she'd be too thrilled about letting her own kids meet them. Even if they had never done anything to her specifically, the way they've hurt and treated her siblings would be enough to make her resent them and not trust them around her own children. I just personally characterise her as being quite resentful towards these two and not exactly willing to mend this bridge.
THK/PV is...more complicated.
I think their feelings and how reluctant they are would completely depend on how far along they are in their recovery. Either way, I think they'd be reluctant regardless of the reason; either because their children are another (living) proof of their failure and showing that fact to their parents would be mortifying, or because they came to terms with the fact that what's been done to them was't fair and they don't trust their parents with their children.
Pre-sealment PV is a whole other can of worms. But I think it's safe to assume if they're still pretending to be hollow they'd do anything to keep their children a secret, for obvious reasons.
Either way though, no matter how much they might still love and respect their parents despite everything, and might even long to have a relationship with them, I think their children's well-being and safety would trump over all of that.
But assuming their kids are older and able to make their own choices, I think both of them would allow them to have a relationship with their grandparents if they wanted to. Very reluctantly so.
As for their reactions,
All climb aboard the Guilt Train™
For Hornet, I think it completely depends on how you see their relationship with her to be like and if they ever did wrong by her. Personally, I think it'd be a mix of happiness for her and regret knowing that they know so little about her life, and knowing that they could never be in their grandchildren's lives as long as she can help it.
THK/PV...OH BOY. To say they simply feel guilty and regretful would be a MASSIVE understatement. It also depends on if they knew that their kid was alive by that point or not. But either way, both of them will have a massive emotional crisis, I just know it.

i watched smile and wrote down my live reaction if anyone cares lol. long story short it was better than i thought it would be, the death/spooky effects were fun but it was kinda heavy handed with the mental health commentary
i went into this thinking it would be funny bad but. goddammit. ok i liked the opening.
the fucking back and forth shots of the main lady and the college girl’s faces, it set me up!!
then when it showed college girl had gotten up. idk man something about how empty and sterile the office is wigged me out even more.
and her cutting her neck was neato
at the title card now and alright goddamn it didn’t have to flash like that yeesh
oh also it sounds like this is just gonna be it follows but with suicide instead of sex
lord they’re trying to do mental health commentary. great.
ugh if i end up liking this movie i’m gonna be embarrassed
that cat’s dead. and nooo i don’t know that because i checked doesthedogdie.com
i was hoping the cat would smile lmao
WAIT THE BOYFRIEND
WHO IS HE
SLKJFLKSDF IT’S A-TRAIN
i’ve decided this takes place in The Boys universe
sorry i got so distracted by a-train that i forgot to say that main lady seeing the dead girl in the dimly lit kitchen did freak me out.
we’re back to the mental health commentary.
why does the cat have such a big fucking bowl
Young cop(?) dude gives me the creeps.
Haha sassy black coworker!! very funny and cool el oh el
ooooo i liked her passing the rooms and having to backtrack
bro is vibing stop snapping
im so sorry but this carl actor has a really silly voice
i feel like this boss also looks familiar
oh he was in designated survivor ok
actually i’ve been kinda constipated so maybe if i watch this on the toilet i’ll shit myself and finally be free
jesus this lady just can’t stop breaking glasses
none of this would’ve happened if you just KEPT YOUR HOUSE WELL LIT
WAIT STOP EVERYTHING
YOUNG COP CREEP IS THE EMO GUY FROM JENNIFER’S BODY
wow what a cast
i sorta missed the whole bit where she listened to the recording and heard stuff, i was unclogging my toilet
main lady and blonde bitch are sisters?? wow that went straight over my head until now. i knew they had to be related in some way? but i kinda thought the husband and the main lady were siblings
dead cat moment
love that they felt the need to clarify it was her cat lmao
when the boy picked it up it looked like really bad cgi
DAMN
TABLE SLAM KO
yeah babe sometimes you just gotta yell it out
SLKDFJLS THE PAIN ASSESSMENT CHART
im sorry… mental health preachy message aside, are you telling me the fiance had to look up the fact that mental illness can be hereditary??
for some reason i feel like the main character’s spiral happened way too fast
but to be fair i guess she does have that trauma with her mom, so maybe even though she works in healthcare she’d still be more susceptible to this line of thinking?
the number of times they say “crazy” in this movie is getting ridiculous
love a good smashed in head, i appreciate they didn’t add a loud noise with it considering the amount of jumpscares in this fucking thing
thank god horrible events always happen to artists so we can have ooky spooky drawings
these “coincidences” are so obviously connected it’s ludicrous that literally nobody noticed until now
I mean cops being inept is nothing new i guess
main character is being? unbelievably unreasonable here?? yes, calling a mental health professional is what you’re SUPPOSED to do when someone around you starts acting like this
i thought one of the whole points of this smile demon thing was that it could look like anyone? they haven’t really been utilizing that as much as i assumed they would which is a bummer
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
loved that moment with the sister at the car
it is kinda neat that the death has to be super dramatic so it inflicts as much trauma as possible
but also couldn’t you just do something traumatic that doesn’t involve murder or suicide?
like pretend you murdered someone or killed yourself in a crazy violent way in front of someone so they believe it happened, orchestrate a big practical joke
the demon voice is goofy
putting a knife that big up your sleeve seems like an atrocious idea
LMAO AWESOME DREAM
it’s like in chainsaw man. the whole door thing with denji. i’m not elaborating bc i don’t wanna spoil anyone.
the mom is kinda hot
lol i like how slowly rose closed the door
ooooooo!!!! suddenly tall mom!!!
i’m a tad disappointed with the monster design :/
HELL YEAH you thought a house fire could kill a demon?? lmaoooo
I TAKE IT BACK THE MONSTER DESIGN LOOKS RAD
rose the throat goat
hell yeah love a good person burning
