maybe i'm wrong but do y'all think it's insane to call get out a horror/comedy? i haven't seen it in a long time but i remember very little about it that could be described as funny but maybe i'm wrong
#personal#like sometimes a movie is a horror/comedy and sometimes audiences and reviewers are racist#and i can't remember from my watch like six years ago which it is#maybe i'll just rewatch and add to this#not that i'm the number one incapable of racism reviewer. but like. seems like. a trend#thinking about (in terms of sexism and also racism) seeing may december described as camp#when actually it's just a dramatic film leading women and about a racialized boy's csa#idk. sometimes people call serious stories about Othered groups comedies#or else they have to face like. the realities of the marginalized#anyway. another day of magpie writes an essay on tumblr while in the middle of writing another essay that he's paid for

I feel like The Phantom of the Opera can be a metaphor for how society shames women for their sexual desires. Women must aim to be chaste. The Phantom represents Christine's sexual awakening, while Raoul represents her innocence.
Christine and Raoul met as kids; he is the light, "the good guy", chastity, etc. He is everything to be loved in the open air, in the light for all to see and approve of. Meanwhile Erik is darkness, "the bad guy"; he is the passion kept in the night and out of sight. He lurks in the darkness and is everything to be feared, but also everything to be loved with great passion. The kind of passion that is often shamed when it is women who pursue it.
Ultimately Christine chooses the light (what she is expected to choose), over the darkness (the passions and desires a woman is often shamed for).
I always hold the interpretation that the one Christine truly loved was Erik; she only chose Raoul because she was pressured into making a choice, and, well, see my points above.
Plus Erik became all homicidal, oops. But I know she did love him.
#The phantom of the opera#I imagine this must have been analyzed to death before but I just wanted to add my two cents#and maybe someday I'll expand on it and write more#it's just that I rewatched the entire musical right now and ugh my heart#I love this musical#It's still up on youtube you all better watch it before they unlist it again#Christine x Erik#Christine x the phantom#Erik x Christine

sometimes i think about the girls telling their families after graduation. and the comedic (but also angst) potential that has
like, imagine the lore dumps they'd have. like, oh yeah, emma accidentally killed miriam that one time, or rikki's been kidnapped four times, or hey, that lady down by the docks people said was a witch? she was actually a mermaid too
#h2o just add water#emma gilbert#rikki chadwick#cleo sertori#post-s3#that time they threw lewis out of a volcano#or when zane's dad and lewis' ex-boss kidnapped them#kim finding out she was right the whole time#them getting the context for all those times the girls were moonspelled#and there's so much more stuff they could've found out#they'd def couldn't explain it all at once#the mermaid secret would've been already a lot for their parents to handle#so for the parents to learn more about everything else their kids went through without them knowing? angst potential there#rikki's been kidnapped by the traffickers#dr denman#the tentacle#and the money launderers#she got kidnapped twice in s1 and then twice again in s3#s2 was the only time she got a break#actually maybe not because of charlotte#i haven't watched that part of s2 in a hot sec#but charlotte might've technically kidnapped them?#i'll have to rewatch again#i'll take any excuse to rewatch h2o tbh

I really should know better than to watch dumb romcoms while I'm 90% sure I'm ovulating.
This time it was Netflix's Love in the Villa trying to make me cry.
#is this tmi? maybe. but this is the tmi site.#look ok romeo and juliet holds a special place in my heart and not because i've read the play#i've never ever read the play at all#but i've worked on 3 different productions of it in different formats and each time was a turning point in my career#so it means a lot to me so adding R+J references to this movie's dumb romcom-ness just makes me emotional#i say dumb romcom super super affectionately#literally the last 2 days i had pain that i get every few months right by my right ovary that tends to coincide#with the time that my period app says i'm ovulating. i don't actually pay attention to ovulation since i don't need to.#(yay being perpetually single and somewhere on the asexual spectrum)#but if i notice that pain i'll check the app and usually it's within a couple of days of its prediction#and that suddenly made the last few days make a lot of sense since i was like... YEARNING. yearning and longing.#like i realize now that that's probably why 2 or 3 days ago i went into a ramble in the tags of a post#about a conversation i had on a date but the topic was really only sorta related to the actual post but i just kept going#and ruminating on the conversation and our texts afterwards and him ghosting me a couple weeks later#and me simultaneously being like 'eh. he was nice but i'm not hurt.' and also 'WHYYYYYYYYY' over that situation from MONTHS ago#and i think that's why i had a dream 2 days ago the featured the ex of a celebrity crush. all adjacent. to the yearning.#anyway. love in the villa was cute. i'm always here for my knight babies from merlin. i laughed out loud at certain points.#and gasped and aw'd at others and was feeling all the emotions by the end.#on that note. i'm gonna go rewatch Set It Up for the 10 billionth time since it's just unironically one of my faves#and i have some stuff to crochet#oh and today is also the 15 anniversary of the last day of my first period. yes i remember these very specific things.#so add me realizing that fact to all the other weird emotions about ovulation.

Mkah i think the next time i post on here i will be liveblogging vld rewatch.
#i have to make this worthwhile though somehow.... like i have this fear/suspicion that when i rewatch it's gonna hit me just how mid this#show is. which if i'm not careful could send me spiraling. so i need to add something to the mix other than just watching/blogging#or just make this into a learning opportunity somehow#lol I'm taking this so seriously but also. it is so serious#I think I'm gonna create a syllabus for myself lol#maybe I'll share it and outsource recommendations if anyone wants to offer something

some details that i loved in la chimera (spoiler heavy) :
i posted this on twitter as well but i wanted to include it here too. i love this little moment here where italia rests her head on arthur's shoulder and for a brief moment, he's anchored to the present by that touch, but him being the orpheus that he is, just HAD to turn back and find himself gravitating towards the tombs, the past and his eurydice.
the fact that italia's name is literally italy in italian and by the end of the movie she creates a community of her own where she's looking out for those that are outcasted by society, in an abandoned train station named riparbella which literally means "to start again".
arthur's eye always being blocked by shadow throughout the movie until he sees the light at the very end
according to wiki, the goddess the statue is based on is cybele, goddess of nature, animals, wild places and represents the "creative and destructive force of nature." her phrygian name matar (mother) alludes to the fact that she was a "mediator between the boundaries of the known and unknown, the civilized and the wild, the worlds of the living and the dead." i love that this goddess' presence in the movie symbolizes arthur traversing between the living and the dead worlds and getting closer to beniamina. i love that by the end of the movie, the statue itself becomes unknown to human eyes and returns to the wild, far away from civilization, which is arguably the same fate that arthur meets as he dies.
the red string that's following arthur around is very reminiscent of the red string ariadne gives theseus to find his way through the maze. it's beautiful how this red string seems to appear only in his dreams at first but slowly starts crossing the boundaries of dreams and reality as the movie goes on until he is able to tug at it by the end and cross over into beniamina's world.
arthur, at the beginning of the movie, says "so it's you. my last woman's face." how cool is it that beniamina's face resembles cybele's?
arthur goes back to flora's house after being injured and her daughter finds him in the bathroom. spooked, she says "i thought it was a ghost" which arthur might as well be considering how he's essentially been a walking corpse this entire movie.
also a special shout out from the bottom of my heart to the sped up sequences, didn't even realize how badly i needed them until i saw them. the chaos in these sequences is everything to me. this is REAL cinema!
in general, one of the themes that i've come to love about this movie is how objects can have different meanings to everyone. an object like the bell arthur found was just "a thing that rings" whereas italia interprets it as a gift until she comes to realize it's been excavated from a grave. the statue was part of a shrine back when it was made, but to the tombaroli and the sellers, this is only a means to make more money. the train station started off as a place that symbolizes movement of people from the city to the countryside but has now become a home for the outcasts of society. the apotropaic phallus would've have warded off evil and bad luck back in the day, but is now used as a means of escape from the law. a simple red string is the literal lifeline for arthur as he tries to find his way back to his lover.
also want to give another shout out to the inclusion of the italian troubadours (our greek chorus) who beautifully spell out the tragedy of our protagonist and his gang.
speaking of music, i really liked this particular song italia was singing as she was practicing. the lyrics go "i'd like to explain to you, o god/ where my suffering lies/ but fate condemns me to weep/ to weep" and that's exactly when arthur finds her crying son. at least italia finds a way for her suffering to end by the end of the movie. maybe we can say the same about arthur too?
i'll probably add more as i keep rewatching the movie lol and make a thread of this on twitter too (x) thanks for sticking around and let me know what other cool details y'all noticed!
#la chimera#alice rohrwacher#josh o'connor#i clearly still have a LOT of thoughts about this movie#wasn't expecting this brainrot when i first watched it but here we are :))))

oh my god, i was just rewatching mandela catalogue when i remembered you were into horror. and adding to my brainrot, i just had the biggest (worst?) idea shoot straight into my head, and i thought:
what if— doppleganger/skinwalker au! for the 141?
a mix of horror and just that feeling of are you truly who you say you are? or is it just another trick in your mind when he touches you oh so carefully, saying sweet nothings but the look in his eyes says otherwise?
goddddd i love analog horror! i haven't seen the Mandela Catalogue, but i'm huge fan of LOCAL58 and Midwest Angelica so i'll def add it to my list!
i really love this idea!!! i could do something similar to the concept art for Toothsayer by Tanya Tagaq—a walrus with a brain floating above it's head, attached by these tentacle-things. you're the only one who can see it, though. this mass clinging to them like a leech. but then the thing— the brain, the mass—opens its eyes and stares at you.
but i've also been kinda wrapped up in the winter soldier au, so maybe a doppelganger version of that would be fun!
like, maybe they go missing in the mountains and you mourn them, visit their empty graves. but on the anniversary of their disappearance, you visit the mountain they went missing on, staying in a hunter's pass/cabin.
the forest is strange. it makes you uncomfortable. you close the curtains over the windows and pretend it's just to keep the chill from getting in, and not the prickle on the nape of your neck that sometimes rears when you know you're being stared at. odd things. unexplainable things, but you make excuses for them, anyway.
until there's a sound in the dead of night. a familiar smell on your pillow. you call out into the dark, but nothing answers you back. just the muted rustle of bushes in the opposite direction of the wind. another excuse: elk. moose. bear. you close the door but it has your voice now.
(you try not think about that. why did you think about that? the thought is foreign and wrong in your head, and you can't deny that it doesn't sound like your own. it chisels in like a pickaxe, something else whispering into the hole—)
there's a knock on the door next. something says not to answer it. leave it. hide. run—
you move to the sound like a moth to a flame, and pretend there's surprise when you see that it's him.
he doesn't speak for a long time, just stands there and stares. but when he finally does, you wish he hadn't because what he says is this:
"did you miss me?"
but it comes out like a cartoonish ransom note. cut up words from a magazine glued down on the page. strung together in sequence but they don't belong. something is missing.
did you. miss me. it's said in three different tones. terror. fear. anger. a recording spliced together.
and that—
that scares you to your core. chills you to the bone.
but it's him.
and when he says let me in—firmer this time, sounding more like himself now (excuses, excuses—he was missing for so long; he's thirsty, he needs to something to drink—)— you step to the side and let it (him him him) pass.
he's back, after all. he finally came home. grief and shock and the cold are all just getting to you. you just need to lay down, he wants you to lay down with him. tugs you toward the bedroom on fawnlegs, stumbling around the room like he forgot how to walk. come, he says. sleep, sleep—
everything will be fine in the morning.
(just ignore the way he walks. talks. and how he stares at you sometimes with a naked, primal hunger on his face like he's trying, with all his might, not to tear you apart—)
#yeah this could be fun actually#not sure if i *could* spin it as poly#but the episodic/analogue aspect might help#like John goes missing and then shows up#but everyone else around you is suddenly weird#maybe a mirror-verse?? like the cabin itself is a entrance#john is a vavasour#everything is the same bit slightly off

Losing my mind because it somehow took me literally until right now to realize that a Zuko and Katara encounter is a part of every season finale of ATLA, like, literally, what the fuck? And all of those are strong jumping off points for fics to boot, like???
"You rise with the moon, I rise with the sun" is like. Such a big deal in the fandom, and while it tends to feature in all kinds of fics, it perfectly encapsulates the enemies phase in the enemies (to friends) to lovers of these two. An unreasonably sexually charged line too, wtf were they on about with that scene if not ship bait?
Fics diverging from the crystal catacombs are like. Such an obvious and natural evolution of that scene- it's the "something awful happens there, but what if it didn't?", I think. It was, in fact, the first fic I went out looking for- was rewatching the show and once again felt the accute disappointment of what could've been, and I wanted to read what could happen if it had. Ultimately I think the show made the right choice there, because Zuko getting what he always wanted and realizing it's all wrong is important, but it did rob us of him being a part of the gaang for longer, and that makes me sad.
Then there's the final agni kai.... Literally how can you watch that one without expecting them to kiss after? Genuinely don't get it, impossible. Peak Zutara. Possibly the single best fight of the show, and undoubtedly the best finale scene. A perfect resolution to the bond between those two- that gets completely thrown away to give Aang his woman shaped prize. Of course it's also a popular jumping off point for plot divergent fics!
Genuinely wild that they have THREE romantic coded finals, and yet they don't even end up together. Kataang and Maiko are barely even a factor in the first two season finals, too! Mai literally doesn't exist in the first, and in the second is very obviously representative of Zuko making a mistake. Literally cannot think of a Kataang scene in the first season finale (but I might just be forgetting? I obviously do not care for that one, lmk if there is one and I'll add it, but me being unable to think of one feels a bit telling given how much I hate those scenes), and the big thing for them in the second one is literally recreating a pose evoking a mother and son relationship, which is a big fat F on the shipping factor if I ever saw one.
"Kataang is baked into the show's DNA"- shut the fuck up, Bryke, and maybe have a look at what you ACTUALLY did with it. This isn't the kind of thing that you can just brush off... Especially because those are all scenes people associate with big emotional plot points of your show, and guess who's doing the heavy lifting there? It's definitely not Aang, that's for sure.

Fantastic Beasts rewrite
I recently finished rewatching the third movie and I really really want to rant, but I don't like to be that person. So I'll do you one better, I'll just throw suggestions as to how this series could have been better. feel free to disagree or add your own.
Plot!
Magical animals still have many uses within the magical world, but no rights because we're in the 1920's. Show us how they're trafficked and exploited. Therefore, Newt could keep the spotlight as someone who wants to protect them as the series continues, and not have Dumbledore be protagonist, because he doesn't make for a compelling one all that much.
We already saw how the Quilin detects those who are pure of heart and determines the leader of the magical world. How about the Quilins are disposed of afterwards, for, I don't know, reasons. Superstition or custom. Maybe they make a new pelt for the leader. So Newt has to fight against that, and therefore he becomes more proactive.
Also the blood troth needs to be broken. That should have taken longer. How about only a specific very rare dragon's fire could burn it?? and therefore we use more of Newt's knowledge here??
2. Personal stakes. Unfortunately, there was no conflict between the heroes and the villains. Meaning, if Grindelwald did succeed in conquering the muggle world, none of the MCs would be personally affected. (not even Jacob, he could hide somewhere and he'd be fine, it's not like Grindelwald would look for him specifically). So, here's the deal:
because this is a fantastic beasts series, Newt remains the protagonist. So how about Grindelwald targets a specific magical creature, eg the aforementioned dragon, who is believed to not even be real? But Grindelwald has info that it is in fact real. Therefore he targets Newt, the only magizoologist, and the only one capable and determined enough to find it. He plans on striking Newt with all means necessary, have him running for his life from all governments. Framing him and targeting his animals just to get what he wants.
Also. Grindelwald wants Credence by his side, because of his Obscurial powers (which were hyped up in the first movie but then kinda deflated, unfortunately). It's easy to manipulate Credence, who's never had anyone care for him ever.
except Tina. Tina is canonically the one who Credence felt trust for. They could've become found family and I'll forever be angry about their wasted potential.
How about Grindelwald is aware that Tina is the one who could foil his plans and keep Credence on the good side due to their relationship, so he targets her specifically? He wants her out of the picture in order to manipulate Credence as much as he wants. He wants to kill her.
Tina fights him to save Credence and Newt fights him to save Credence and the animals.
Here! Grindelwald now has personal conflict with the main characters.
More conflict? Sure!
At the end of the third installment, instead of picking Dumbledore the Quilin picks Jacob, who is said throughout the whole movie to be pure of heart. (Let's say its powers work a little differently and it doesn't care whether it's a muggle it's picking because who ever tested it on muggles in the first place anyway?) How about it picks him, and as Grindelwald hates muggles, he now hates Jacob with a searing passion because the Quilin picked him as a ruler of the wizards? (exactly what he's against, mixing wizards and muggles). How about Grindelwald harbours animosity towards Jacob, not because he's a threat but because he symbolises what could beat Grindelwald? (a kind heart, one that both a wizard and a muggle could possess. and due to that common potential for goodness, which highlights that they aren't so different than the muggles, he gets even more passionate in his goal to eradicate them? just saying)
and let's have Queenie move to Grindelwald's side, that's interesting. Maybe they strike a deal when Tina is in grave danger (because as we said, Tina must die for Grindelwald to win). If Queenie joins him, Tina is safe, Grindelwald tells her (he's lying, but Queenie is desperate).
So Queenie has to choose between being with the man she loves and joining the wrong side of history (and possibly dying a monster), but saving her sister in the process.
She chooses the second.
the angst?? Queenie knowing she's doing the wrong thing but it's for the right reasons so now no one can convince her to return to the good side?? Not Tina, not Jacob, not anyone
Maybe she even becomes a spy, leaking Grindelwald's plans and putting herself in danger in the process.
And she tries to convince Credence to go back to the good side even if it's too late for her.
3. For the secondary characters:
Theseus still has power within the British Auror Office. He wants to use that power and counterattack, but for entirely selfish reasons. He hates Grindelwald for Leta's death and puts his own emotions before sensibility and the greater good.
Yusuf was never close with Leta and now he regrets it. He and Theseus both learn to heal together eventually, and Kama gets character development in the process because he felt rather flat.
I want Lally to be there too because I liked her. Maybe Theseus starts to catch feelings for her (am I delusional or did I sense some connection between them? idk) and he feels guilty, because he doesn't want to heal and move on from Leta. He wants to fuel his hatred for Grindelwald because he believes that that is what gives him the will and strength to fight. But eventually he realises that he won't beat him with hate, because Grindelwald is already perfect at hating others. He will beat him with love. (Cheesy but true). Any love. Between the brothers Scamander or the sisters Goldstein or the found family Tina - Credence or Newtina because I love them.
But Lally can do whatever she wants.
Honestly, that sounds pretty rad. I'd watch that movie.

"If wings grew from my back right now, I'd say goodbye to the darkness."
Sleepy ramblings below lol.
Damn, Creepy Nuts really knows how to create bangers after bangers. First, Bling-Bang-Bang-Born and now Otonoke??? I'm gonna be dancing to those songs for a while lmao.
Sidenote: I do want to watch Dan Da Dan, but gotta finish the FOP rewatch first lol.
I've noticed that both of these series do have something similar..., like having supernatural creatures such as aliens and ghosts (maybe that's more Danny Phantom lol), the wacky slapstick humor character interactions, and some eldritch horror (in a way)... Hmm, it really does coincide with what I felt about FOP and the Victorian AU I'm collabing with keyintheeye-blog currently lmao.
Although, Dan Da Dan is obviously more mature and raunchy in its humor (as usual with anime). I won't really recommend it to anyone who's not comfortable with sexual jokes or is not used to the kind of storytelling that anime usually has.
Still, I've just felt inspired by how amazing the anime's presentation was so far, mixed with what I'm doing currently, and so, that's how this spawned lol. I do think it needs something more, but I don't know what to add truthfully. Plus, I still can't go snooping around and see the wonderful fanarts the others have created online, so I'll just post these as compensation for being so busy lately. I need to sleep actually, but there's another post I want to do before signing off again. <I'll do that later on this day.> (There's more of my thoughts in the image alt text.)
Besides that, here's a simple sketch of an adult Timmy I did as practice. Have a nice day if you've read this far. (You can tell I'm hella tired lol.)

SOUL EATER EVANS x FEM!READER
[a/n: i'm gonna change my theme so i'll add a header later but i've been rewatching my favorite shows so expect more of these! enjoy !! <3]
© bunnyywritings pls don't use my headers or writing without permission
wc: 1.5k words
warnings: a few swear words and modern!au kinda lol
Maka eyed Soul in amusement, watching as her weapon partner gazed at you in the cafeteria. You had been chatting it up with your meister as you two waited in line, trays in hand. Soul had been crushing on you bad. He was disheartened because he thought you and your partner were a couple but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
She had spoken to you at a party a few days ago and subtly asked if you were seeing anyone. You adamantly denied it as your eyes searched the small crowd until falling on a familiar head of white hair, a deep red blush on your cheeks that you had hoped Maka had waved off as the liquor in your cup, that you definitely should not have been drinking.
From then on it was almost sickening to see the sweet unnoticed glances the both of you threw at each other.
“Soul, just ask her out already.” Tsubaki suggested lightheartedly, stealing the words that were about to roll off of Maka’s tongue.
The blonde nodded in agreement. “Yeah, Soul. Cool guys should speak up about what they’re feeling.” She teased.
“Tch, forget it.” He turned back to look at his food, pushing it around with a fork. “She’s already with someone.”
“Who? (Y/n)? No she’s not.” Kid hummed as he, Liz, and Patty took their seats at the table.
“How would you know?” Soul grimaced, waiting for some kind of punchline.
“Cause she said so.” Patty shrugged like it was the most obvious thing ever.
“She comes over to get her nails done by Liz and she’s surprisingly very gossip-y.” Kid took a sip of his water.
“Yeah, she said she had her eye on someone.” Liz moved her eyebrows suggestively at Soul. “She was trying to be vague about her description but it was obviously you.”
Soul said nothing as he processed all this information. As long as he had known you, you were always a little shy and closed off. Maka and the others had helped you out of your cocoon so, when you all hung out together outside of school, he got to see another side of you. Your boisterous laughter was melodic and infectious, your smiles unabashed and wide, even going as far as throwing around sarcastic and snarky quips here and there. It was his favorite thing to see your cheeks rosy as you joined Patty in whatever silly antics possessed her.
“Hey guys!” Your meister grinned as you both took a seat. Your eyes scanned everyone before they met Soul’s. He could’ve sworn they lit up as you sent a shy smile his way.
Oh Lord, you were gonna be the death of him.
The weekend came rather quickly and Soul found himself bored and alone at home. Maka had gone to the library with Tsubaki and Kid to study and Blair was working a shift at Chupa Cabra’s. He had cleaned to keep busy but after that, there really wasn’t much to do and it was only 12pm.
“Oh man, this is totally uncool.” He muttered, slumping into the couch cushion. He stared at the wall for a bit before a vibration against his thigh snapped him out of his daze. Hastily pulling it out of his pocket, he flipped it over and his heart started to beat faster at your picture filling his screen. He cleared his throat.
“Hey, what’s up?”
His voice sent a shiver down your spine. “H-Hey Soul, are you-are you busy?”
“Not at all.” Never too busy for you is what he really wanted to say.
“Okay, uhm well I was gonna grab s-some coffee and maybe go shopping.” You paused and he waited patiently for you to continue. “I was wondering if you wanted to maybe come with me?”
He was stunned silent, you wanted to hang out with him? “But only if you want to! There’s-uhm there’s no pressure, obv-obviously.” He thought your panic was cute.
“Yeah, that sounds like fun. I’m in. I’ll pick you up in…20 minutes. S’that okay?”
“Y-yeah! Yes, more than okay. See you in twenty!” He could hear your beaming smile and it made his lips stretch into one as well.
“I’ll see you in twenty.” He confirmed before hanging up.
He rushed to get dressed, grabbing his extra helmet before driving the familiar route to your apartment.
Your fingertips were buzzing with nervous excitement as you waited for Soul, however, as a familiar motorcycle came rumbling to a stop not too far from you, your nerves skyrocketed. How could you forget he drove a motorcycle?!
“Hey! Ready to go?” He smiled so gently at you, it almost made you forget about your nerves entirely. Keyword: almost.
“Uhm y-yeah, I just uh…I’ve never been on a-a motorcycle before.” Your cheeks were incredibly red and he eyed as you fiddled with your nails.
“Ah shit, I should’ve asked if that was okay.” He was mentally smacking his forehead. “I could get us an Uber or something?”
“N-No! That’s okay, I don’t mind…just a little nervous.”
“Are you sure?” He’d just die if he ever made you feel uncomfortable.You nodded, determination clear in your eyes that made a little smirk lift the edge of his mouth. “Alright, hop on.”
He got on first, holding the bike steady as you climbed on the seat behind him. You had the visor up on the helmet and he thought it was adorable to see how it squished your cheeks a little bit. “You can wrap your arms around me to hold on.” He looked down and watched as your shaky hands wrapped around his torso. “Hold on tight, m’kay?” You nodded. “If you want me to slow down, tap twice.” He felt your hand gently smack against where it rested near his hip.
“Good. Just like that.” His praise made your breath hitch.
When he pulled away from the curb, he grinned at the muffled squeak that came from you before you leaned into him even more, arms tightening around him. You were so warm, he could get addicted to your touch if you’d let him.
At a light, he rested his feet against the ground and without really thinking, he rested his hand atop yours. The feeling of his hand had startled you slightly but you definitely weren’t complaining. A surge of confidence filled your body and you shifted your fingers so they slotted between his. He glanced down and almost couldn’t believe it, the back of your hand was a little cold against his warm palm so his thumb moved to gently caress your skin in an attempt to warm you up.
His coffee seemed to taste sweeter than usual but he chalked it up to the rose colored tint that you brought to his life. He had bought a few things at the thrift you had suggested going to but he was most grateful for having been able to see you step in and out of the dressing rooms, asking his opinions on outfits, both of you turning red when you had meekly stepped out in a short black skirt with cherries on it.
Sadly, the day was coming to an end and he had to drop you off back home.
But as he parked and helped you off of his bike, you seemed to be trying to prolong going inside. You gazed at him for a second. He was leaning on his bike and facing you, half sitting on his seat with his legs spread. He was also letting himself take you in. You had gotten cold and he had gladly given you his blue pullover to wear.
“Okay…well uhm th-thanks Soul. I had fun.”
“Yeah, me too…” He looked down at his feet, desperately thinking of something else to say.
You smiled sadly, upset that you were so scared to make a move. “Goodnight.” He echoed the sentiment and watched you slump back into your apartment building, still in his sweater.
“I’m such an idiot.” He groaned, moving to pull his helmet on.
“Soul!” Surprised, he halted his movements and rested the helmet in his lap.
“(Y/n)? What happe-” You rushed over and he was cut off when your lips met his. He immediately reciprocated and held your waist so you didn’t fall over, smiling into the kiss when a small noise left your throat, deepening it and pulling you closer until your hands rested against his chest.
Pulling away, you refused to meet his eyes. So he gently gripped your chin and turned your gaze back to him. “Can I kiss you again?” His pleading tone made you weak in the knees, his thumb grazing your bottom lip. You muttered, “Yes.” And he dove right back in.
Once he was home, a dazed smile was permanently on his lips.
Not even the text message from your weapon in the groupchat could change that.
fucking finally !! [image attached]
If anything, he was glad that the moment was captured, almost straight out of a movie.

i rewatched ep 497 from shippuden and MAN i love gaanaru somuch (nobody is surprised)
if i was naruto and i saw gaara looking down, saying "naruto is getting married huh?" in THAT VOICE i would just cry on the floor forever and never recover so thank the gods i'm not naruto
i really love this episode, i would've loved it if we had more gaara-focused eps like this. not only because i'm pathetic about gaara/naruto but bc seeing him interact with other characters and react to the weirdness of the konoha-gang is actually very refreshing NWNEMDM
but also yeah it's because i'm pathetic about gaara/naruto
gaara loves naruto so much i don't even DOUBT IT. platonic or not, naruto is SO LOVED by this red little thing it's UNFAIR !!!! he only wants to make him happy !!! he looks up at the sky thinking of his happiness!!!!
i'm thinking it would be INSANE if naruto himself was part of this ep. gaara asking him to show him things he likes, things that make him happy, and being so.. gloomy? and thoughtful? the whole time? and naruto doesn't really understand what this is about but is very happy to spend time with gaara anyways 😭😭 i might as well just redraw this whole episode but with naruto in it because that's just how pATHETIC they can make me!!! this is THEIR fault!!
I'M NOT DONE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SO MANY THINGS BUT I'LL JUST ADD ONE THING
it broke my heart into millions of pieces when i first realized the narudad #1 didn't know about his friendship with gaara but i think it's SO MUCH FUNNIER if you think that, maybe, naruto talked about gaara SO MUCH and about how cOOL he was but never once mentioned that his epic friend from suna is actually the kazekage.
imagine you're a dad and your son tells you so much about this guy he has a long distance friendship with and he's so cool and sooooo good at sand castles but then you met him and he's THE PRESIDENT. hilarious. iruka don't be a hypocrite you're married to a president too.

I initially had a difficult time trying to think of fantasies until @vegasisthinking pointed out to me that I might be going about it in the wrong way. Instead of focusing on scenarios, focus on his likes/desires because he doesn’t feel the need to hide those parts of himself from the reader. Anyway, here are a few ideas.
stay to burn (only to drown instead) masterpost | bruce masterpost
Someone mentioned to me that they see him as very much so a service top and I agree. His primary concern when sleeping with you is to make sure that you are getting what you want.
Consent kink. He wants to know that you want him, that you want what he’s doing to you. He appreciates it when you’re vocal, either with the sounds you make or when you tell him how it feels or what you want from him.
Sex in the Batmobile (not while driving). Maybe not on his motorcycle but he would definitely think about what you would look like riding it. Which then leads us to...
You on top. He likes watching you bounce on him, taking what you need from him. Cowgirl is one of favorite positions <3 (reverse cowgirl is nice, though he likes seeing your face (and tits))
I’m sorry, but I don’t think he ever really masturbated while thinking about the reader. I just think he would see it as a violation of her privacy, though he did definitely think about having sex with her before they officially got together. He just wouldn't actually touch himself to the thought.
He does, however, rewatch your encounters often, especially the ones where you look particularly alluring. He would love to, with your permission, make a lil sex tape with the contact lens camera.
if you have other thoughts, feel free to let me know! if I like them I'll add them :3
