MCL NewGen Ep 10 Commentary

Tbh I didn’t want to write a review or my usual commentary for this last episode because I genuinely have nothing to say. Nothing happened, I wasted about 2000 AP for the nothingness and a two-minutes scene with Jason 🙃

I wasn't keen on skipping it though 'cause I'm sure it would make my future self and my ocd implode so here we are.

It's an episode without shame or glory. As I already said, nothing happened and the little that did wasn't entirely necessary. The driving force of the plot—Thomas and his 'disappearance'—starts off strong but gets weaker as the story progresses. I thought it might pick up a bit toward the end but the excuse they gave for Thomas was honestly terrible but we'll get there later.

To sum it up, it all revolves around searching for Thomas, who hasn’t shown up at the office, is later than usual and isn’t answering his phone. So instead of calling his family as a normal person with a bit of intellect would do we waste time and APs wandering around Amoris because ofc that’s the logical thing to do in such situation. Eventually we find out he had an accident right in front of The Cosy Bear but there’s no sign of his body. After several errands it turns out that yes, he had an accident but in the meantime he managed to already get the insurance money ??? and buy himself a motorcycle ??? all within the span of about 8 hours without a care for the world.... Now, I am astonished and utterly speechless. I get the sitcom-style ending, but it didn’t make me laugh at all. If anything it pissed me off even more. I seriously can’t stand how everything always ends with everyone happily smiling and laughing about it, it is not funny istg

Jason is giving that Scar "I'm surrounded by idiots" moment, I feel him lol

Thomas is a big irresponsable, blame it on the autism certified by yours truly or not, but he's incredibly selfish and doesn't give a fuck about anyone apparently. He had the time to go and buy a new motorcycle on foot but not the time to find a phone and spare a call to Devon?? Are you okay?? That's where your responsabilities lie?? My god.

About the moment with the LI, as a Jason girlie, I’ve come to terms with how hard it is to include him in situations involving the whole main group. That said I really appreciated the two minutes he was on screen because, once again, we see that he cares and knows how to set aside his jerk tendencies when it’s necessary—even managing to actually ‘find’ Thomas color me stocked. The only downside is that he had so little presence in this episode; the police station scene with Nath and Eric was definitely longer than his whole screentime :/

On a brighter side, the next episode involves a new showdown between companies so I’m hoping to see him just as much as the other LIs and to know a bit more about Goldreamz employees' relationships maybe Spencer? Since he only appeared at the fair...

I hate to repeat myself but I have no idea where this game is headed. There’s no driving plotline or future goals established for the characters. It would be great to see Candy outside of the work environment, maybe meeting new people. Aside from her colleagues, she doesn’t know anyone and tbh she doesn’t even know them that well. It’s ridiculous that by episode 10 I still know next to nothing about Amanda unless I’m doing her route...

Ariana what are you doing here!!

Question for Uzi Doll N: your favorite Anime?

Nath doesn't really seem to care, we just try to keep him away from animes like full metal alchemist or Elfen lied.. you know.. because of the dog scenes :(

HC Time!

saw a picture with the person's hc's of how people sat in the class and got inspired-

i've been having brainrot over mcl these past few weeks so here you go - a product of a semi lifelong obsession.

also these are spanish names so Karla = capuccine

I know that Farres' class is a free seating kind of thing, but I HC that they eventually fell into this arrangement by their last year of high school - i feel that beemoov could've juiced out more slice of life stuff with the class so here i am

lowk i get this from hints from dialogues but these r my personal hc's of how classes would be at Sweet Amoris' Class F (F for Farres, not the grades they get lmao) - ignore the a in the pic i had a brain fart and i'm too lazy to change it

i yap so beware under the cut

Class F

they share all classes in the same room except for science, arts and pe so this is them in their natural environment

the people in the first row kinda keep to themselves

its the last two which initiate most of the banter (ie the twins mostly) BUT others tend to join in most of the time.

the first row is the most 'serious' about their studies

genuinely the 'problem' class of the school - it's either peggy trying to camouflage herself with the couch in the teachers room, nath and castiel on the verge of killing each other, amber, alexy and rosa's costume fiasco, and CANDY capitalised bcus she's genuinely involved in everyone's life at some point (chismosavirus i love her)

they don't all get along in a 'family' sense, but they did grow familiar with each other over the years and there are some very close friendgroups in their class

when they need to, they definitely can unite (they even convinced amber, li and charlotte to help with the bunnies, which was insane to me)

ik that they are all ver cliche-ish characters, but mcl surpisingly made them work very well together

Farres

teaches geography & history but is also Candy's class homeroom teacher

ppl tend to walk all over him which is something he cannot avoid with students in any of his classes

loser man he's v funny to me

if nath or melody are not in class and he asks a question there is always a 10 second long silence AT LEAST

trying his best bless his heart

i hc that the class gave him a goodbye gift of sorts after graduating, thanking him for his patience with their insane antics

maybe something like them naming a bunny in lysander's family farm after him or something as bizzare like that - call back to the time they almost got him fired in ep 18 with the bunnies they let out

All these hc's are about them in the class environment, but there is sm more i have in my back pocket

Nath

his dad's pressure to excel in school is obv influenced him sitting first row

even after gaining his independence, we still see him become valedictorian on ep 39 (?) or 40 i forgot so i assume that he started being more relaxed about his studies AFTER hsl

that's why he usually stays in that seat for most of his hsl

imo best seat in the class if you want to pay attention - close to the teacher but also right in front of the whiteboard

not a teachers pet, but castiel likes to use his choice of seat in a free seating class as an opportunity to call him one lmao

doesn't really care about who sits next to him, choice of seat was solely out of the need to keep up with his father's standards

doesn't mind sitting next to melody, even if he feels a bit overwhelmed by her constant attention, bcus he knows that she's also a diligent student

doesn't answer every question, but tends to raise his hand more than once every class

straight a's - we all know this

doesn't interrupt classes if it's not school-related - so don't expect him to be adding onto any banter that may go on during class time (unless it's castiel provoking him, but he only tends to speak up after his independence from his parents in ep 23)

ppl don't tend to listen to him when he asks for silence in the class (when farres is also unable to shut ppl up prior LMAO)

some ppl tend to find him annoying - too perfect for their liking - but after the whole ordeal with his dad people cut him some slack and realise that their annoyance prolly came from jealousy

sm angst material but let's move on

Melody

(apologies if i'm too mean to her,,, i dont love her character and it's not even about the nath possesiveness, more on that in another post if i feel like it :p)

this simp would have sat on mud in a heartbeat if it meant sitting next to nath

i always hc'd that, even though she is a good student, having a crush on nath actually drove her to be even better as a way to impress him

so, she chose to sit first row mainly bcus she is a good student, but deep down (or not that deep down lmao) knowing that she could've chose any of the other chairs in the row, it's obvious why she chose that specific seat out of any other

since she sits closest to Mr Farres out of everyone and shes also class rep, she's usually the one to hand out worksheets or go on errands for teachers (given that it's not an important job that fits nathaniel's role better)

ACTUAL teachers pet - it kind of annoys most in the class (even irks nath at some points lmao) bcus she always seems to eager to prove herself in a super obnoxious way

straight a's but is the type of whiny girl to be upset at anything less than an a (i get her)

looks down on ppl that don't get good grades and is kinda condescending (i don't relate there)

type of girl to SHHHH people loudly even if they're literally whispering

candy and rosa are big victims of this given that they are (1) chismosas by nature (2) sit right behind her

her attitude doesn't really change throughout school life

if you are nath route i imagine she absolutely stares daggers at us or anyone else when nath sits next to them in class

Lysander

before you pull out the pitchforks telling me about lys and castiel being besties - this doesn't mean that they have to sit together in class

hear me out

lysander is more serious about his studies, even if he is quiet he is a diligent student.

nath actually respects and kinda resents him for this, you can see that he doesn't have the pressure to be a good student that nath has but he still tries his best and does very well in class (straight low a's / high b's student imo)

angst hc's another time i swear

best classes/ones he enjoys the most are lit and history

castiel tends to call him a nerd, lovingly, opposed to how he does it to nath

doesn't participate much in class, but when he does it's usually to give correct answers when the class seems to draw on a blank

or bcus he is asked directly by Farres, lmao

before priya came in their second to last year of high school (my hc timeline but idk) lysander sat alone in the table so castiel would go over and sit next to him if he felt like spending more time with his best friend every now and then

he tends to enjoy his peace, so doesn't mind sitting alone

gets along well with priya when they sit together, but they tend to sit in comfortable silence

doesn't write much of his personal writing during class, he learnt that people tend to be way too curious and try to take a peek

or ask him to read it aloud to the rest of the class - that one lit class was a living hell for him

tends to daydream in class if he's tired

Priya

my beloved,,,, they will never make me hate you

came in last of everyone in the class so she took the only remaining seat

is still a beast in studies so it doesn't matter where she sits - will get straight a's anyway

except for art lmao

type of student melody wishes she were

effortlessly smart - and when she gives answers she's not overly snobbish

shes so ,,,, marry me

who said that

is up to sitting next to anyone that isn't amber's witch crowd - but if she ends up near them she doesn't hesistate to put them in their place

offers to switch places with friends that may be struggling more with classes and sit in rows behind her- she knows that sitting closer to the front will force people to focus more (it's usually kim or candy who get these offers from priya, bcus she knows that they have the potential and priya hates seeing them fall behind - and candy yaps too much with rosa sometimes)

she's always looking out for people, helping with violette and kim in maths with difficult exercises etcetc

i see her calling out an answer umprompted if she sees that the person that the teacher asked to has no idea - if she likes the person ofc

Delanay: what is a mitochondria?

candy: uhhhhhh

priya: POWERHOUSE OF -

ik that answer is wrong shut up

doesn't give two shits about being a 'model' student, she is interested in learning so that makes her a good student by default

loves history - political side of it even more, and can go on long tangents on all the 'underdogs' of history and on giving a voice to the less fortunate

cannot stand when people blame teachers when its their own incompetence in a subject

e.g will get so angry when Li complains about 'how she was supposed to know that europe is not a country if farres never told them' in an exam on the european union

gets mostly a's, some b's big fat d's in art im afraid tho

she knows the struggles of teachers given that her mother teaches elementary students so isn't ever really too disrespectful (with limits, she sometimes joins in on banter)

Kim

has a lot of potential, but tends to be demotivated when she compares herself with the 'smart' people

what she doesn't realise is that she could be as 'smart' as them if she also put in the same effort as them

she does let her grades slip at some point, but she never does so deliberately

complicated history with studying, i forgot if it was her mom who dropped studying when she was her age and then went back to it once kim was in high school (mentioned in the ep with iris' party), but tries her best to not let down her parents

sat next to violette who was too scared to sit on the same row as amber and company, but wouldn't have minded sitting further back

you will never catch her dead getting herself involved in class

during her time being tutored by nath, he challenged her to answer a question in class

he called her a coward, basically, so she did it ONCE to defend her honour

but then once became a few times as she became more confident with her abilities

graduated with b's, even a stray a in the mix

would never admit it but she's very thankful for nath and candy's help and appreciates the supportiveness from her friends + family to not quit on trying in school

if you look at her during class, you will know exactly what she is thinking about - it's all on her face

doesn't understand class? furrowed brows, pout and frustrated mumbling while she scratches away at her page

is annoyed at amber's stupid remarks? rolls her eyes to the back of her head so hard

got a good grade? her eyes sparkle just a little bit, "no violette what are you talking about i just got some dust in my eye-"

overall wins the idgaf war i love her

Violette

so debilitatingly shy bless her heart

will NEVER open her mouth in class

if she is asked to answer kim will jump to answer umprompted, a la priya

"sorry sir i thought you were asking me"

"is your name violette?"

all of her notes have a new 'doodle' in the margins

but the doodles are like

masterpieces

mostly portraits of her friends, kim and alexy taking the spotlight

as well as her dad

and maybe her mom? but she tends to get emotional so she reserves those drawing for outside the classroom

karla tried to pick on her one time for drawing in class and kim scared her into not messing with anyone for a whole week, and violette ever again

people are so supportive when she actually makes an attempt to speak, even castiel knows to shut up with his sarcastic remarks

but then the silence freaks her out and next time u will hear her will be in 2 business years at least

or karla laughs at her stuttering or something (looking for amber's approval) but that happens only once thanks to kim

amber and her friends don't pick on her much, simply because they prefer to go for girls that they are jealous of and she never draws their attention

Rosa

is the type of student to have 1000s of excused absences

leigh signs her permission slips and stuff and since the headmistress can't be arsed to do her job properly she gets away with it lmao

actually gets by well with exams

she already has a dream to move onto the fashion industry so she isn't too worried about her grades

chismosavirus #1 she will always be the first to be called out by teachers for trying to gossip in class

she's always super offended by the scolding even though its 100% true

"i was literally whispering!! besides, your date with [crush] is way more important than trigonometry"

"we had a map of asia on the whiteboard, rosa"

candy always has to stop rosa from strangling amber and co. everytime they pick on her best friend

"it's not worth it rosa"

"you are way too nice, if i were you they would be dead in a ditch by now"

"what?"

"what?"

does people's makeup or gives tips during homeroom if they ask her to

she loves it

or sometimes candy's hair during class

"this is not a beauty salon girls"

does it anyway

Candy

depends on the player ofc, but she's obviously shown to have high capacities in school if she applies herself - so her grades are entirely up to her

theoretically sits next to rosa, but since her best friend doesn't come to school too often people sit next to her if they feel like it (like our route or alexy hehe)

chismosavirus #2 bcus rosa infected her and also that how she is by nature

doesn't cause many problems in class, and only includes herself in the banter of the class if she is directly dragged into it by the back rows.

sits in front of the witch crowd and is sadly a victim of their annoying teasing

i love her but she cannot defend herself for the first 30 episodes of the series i swear

she does sit in front of charlotte, who is the 'chillest' of the trio so she usually gets peace in class if they feel like ignoring her

besides, she REFUSES to change seats because of them - she would never give them the satisfaction

Iris

the backbone of the class for sure

is surprisingly good friends with castiel so she's the designated 'peacemaker' if its a small thing (not if theyre literally about to punch each other, she's not suicidal)

and also gets along well enough with most people fine enough

"if someone is acting mean it's probably a mistake" my girl is too good for this world

genuinely tries her best but is lost in class like, 80% of the time

barely passes her exams but she passed so you go queen

she's not like, stupid, but school is not the path for her

laughs at stupid jokes that the more extroverted people make in the middle of class, but isn't usually the one to start anything in class

participates if asked to

doesn't mean she gets the questions right

isn't picky about who she sits with, was the only one who was willing to sit next to karla

so that's where she ended up

Karla

so she obv chose to sit next to amber's friend group, even though its obvious she's not really a part of their group

ALWAYS acting out to bully anyone as a way to 'prove' herelf to them

people tend to ignore her, like flat out

she's so forgettable that teachers even forget to rlly punish her for any out of line comments

actually good at school, but hides it as much as she can

because of this, and other things, charlotte respects her the least - shes basically dragging herself across the floor for their approval

plain annoying but forgettable

never really makes good friends with anyone - comes close to it with melody (but them both have self esteem problems and make it everyone else's problem, so ig that's why they get along better than others) and iris but because shes enemy to no one

Charlotte

most 'quiet' of the witches trio but doesn't mean she's not as cruel outside of the classroom

gets respectably high grades, but could get much better if she tried

also strong contender of the idgaf war

but you can never really tell what she's thinking of people when they speak in class

or at any point

keeps to herself and her friends but loves to jump at the opportunity to be mean to candy by whispering shit to her

is the more indirect type of cruel, will give karla the silent treatment, literally does not acknowledge her ever

she hasn't stuck gum to candy's hair by now because of rosa's presence, she's annoyingly perceptive,,,

when she leaves school Li takes her place

outright refuses to answer any question that farres asks her

"ms charlotte! would you mind sharing your answer with the rest of the class? it was exceptionally well written"

"i would mind, yes"

sat there bcus amber sat there

Amber

she is so annoying god bless castiel's soul

sat in front of him as "an infallible flirting tactic"

"trust me Li - doing it in the long run will have him at my feet by next month tops"

is the type of girl to throw her hair on top of the table behind her

castiel tried to cut it once in retaliation once he saw that she wouldn't get the hint when he pulled on it anytime she did it

"he was too shy to try to braid my hair, i'm subtly giving him chances to make him go crazy for me. trust me li trust me."

literally only sat there to try to get with castiel

he couldn't give less of a shit, is incredibly annoyed by her

and chooses to ignore her

has barely passing grades, but she lies about it to her parents

besides, they tend to pay more attention to nath's results

"what can i say, i'm just daddy's little girl"

... moving on

always sprays 2000 spritzes of perfume and chokes armin because she does it in his direction

"AMBER i'm going to die from asphyxia if you keep spraying that shit liquid on me"

"MR KEENAN LANGUAGE"

"i didn't know you knew what the word asphyxia meant bro"

"shut up alexy"

always has the most stupid things to say

it has candy sighing loudly

"SIR CANDY IS TELLING ME TO SHUT UP"

"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING"

"YOU THOUGHT OF IT"

"WE ALL DID"

outright annoying

tends to insult candy, armin, alexy, and kentin the most but her preffered pick will always be candy

Li

genuinely stupid holy shit

"europe is a very big country"

surprised she didn't fail her final exams

insisted on sitting next to amber but since there were no more tables she just pulled a chair next to her

farres tried to make her move but she ignored him lmao

if it's a more strict teacher she moves next to lysander before priya came in

after that she used the excuse that there is no other seats to stay there

took charlotte's seat when she left

out of the three, makes the stupidest remarks

doesn't initiate the bullying, but its always her just repeating anything that amber or charlotte say like a parrot

literally bird brain

not much to say, doesn't involve herself in class

mostly looks at herself in the mirror during class or browses high end clothing stores online

loaded asf so has convinced herself that grades don't matter

will be the death of her parents one day

Alexy

came in after most people and wanted to sit near his brother so they sat at the back where there were three seats available

armin sat next to castiel because he was more 'covered' by the three girls in the table in front of him to play his console

so alexy ended up sitting alone in the table next to armin for a little until kentin showed up

lowk a blessing for him bcus we all know he was defo into him

always one of the most talkative, or to join in on jokes that his brother screams out in the middle of class

not a class clown, but usually the one to start interruptions in class

he doesn't even intend to interrupt, but he likes 'commentating' on what is going on - his words

okay at studies, is indifferent to his grades and has no pressure to do well by his parents

this seating arrangement was the cause of him becoming closer to kentin - even if they never became anything that alexy would've wanted to, he appreciates their time spent together

teases kentin in class alongside his twin

peak 'people in the back row' meme type shi

brings snacks to share with the back row

armin, alexy (and kentin even if he likes to complain) are usually messing around a whole lot but tend to go unnoticed

Armin

sat at the covered seat next to castiel so that his teachers let him play his games in peace

type of person to put his console behind an upside down book

has a surprisingly peaceful coexistence with his table buddy

castiel hates that he calls him irl table moot

catch him playing on his console 90% of the time - the 10% is Delanay's classes

calms down with it over the years but never abandons his gaming

he's gets frustratingly high grades considering the little attention he pays in any of his classes

speaks in brainrot

can't stop himself from spouting out the most chronically online shit in class

it's so strange one would think he is playing videogames and not paying attention and then will just

"can someone tell me what is the name of the city that is being covered by my finger right now?" "LMAO KID NAMED FINGER"

all while having his eyes glued to the screen of his PSP

only candy sometimes laughs if shes his route bcus she's equally as nerdy

if not it is met with the most awkard silence

he's so unfunny bless him

everyone but alexy question his sanity but eventually get used to it

likes to have 'back row basketball' competitions with his brother (and kentin, who they always manage to pull at least one attempt out of him) where the first person to get a piece of paper into the bin next to mr farres' table wins

mr farres has given up on trying to stop them

he's just used to flying balls of paper whooshing past his head

atp who cares, as long as they don't hit him

or they also try to see whoever manages to land a spitball on amber's head without her noticing for the remainder of the class

castiel likes to join in on that one

Kentin

came in a bit after the twins so had limited seat choices

didn't really feel like sitting first row with lysander and also wanted to have candy in his line of sight so he went for the seat next to alexy at the back

says he regrets it sm because the 'twins are so annoying' but never made an attempt to change seats

"oh kennykins~ when will you ever let me give you a style change from those horrible military style pants??"

"you can't escape from my brother on a fashion mission kenny"

"IT'S KENTIN i can´t stand the two of you"

also okay at his studies, his dad only cares about his results in p.e tbh (angst material again but ill ramble in another post)

is kinda iffy aboout sitting in the same row as castiel but will never admit it

besides the twins are like a buffer zone so it's okay

doesn't stop castiel from laughing at them bullying teasing him

kentin gets so defensive bless him

"WHAT DID YOU SAY- SAY THAT AGAIN IF YOU DARE"

"KENTIN GO OUT TO THE CORRIDOR RIGHT NOW AND CALM YOURSELF DOWN"

and it was just castiel releasing air through his nose to laugh

he pretends he hates the back row but he has to admit that he has the most fun there

made his best friends there literally (not castiel tho sorry king)

and its kinda a release from the expectations to be a 'man' from his dad and just to be silly with his friends

and now im getting angsty lets move on

if candy is kentin route and he sits with her some time,,,, oh lord

when he goes to sit at the back row the next day he is received as some kind of cheating husband coming back to his unstable wife

"so i see you finally got bored of us"

"its okay kennykins *sniff* we understand that we will never be her"

"you are breaking our hearts and you don't even seem to care"

"the betrayal,,, how can you even come back after all that you have done?"

this continues on for the rest of the day until kentin agrees to buy them lunch

Castiel

does not give af

bad boy cliche - sits at the back, feet on the table and doesn't write down a single line of writing if he can

chose to sit at the back simply because he doesn't care for classes

finds armin entertaining, even if he calls him 'irl table moot' and generally doesn't really understand any of his jokes

does find the twins´ jokes funny if its them making fun of kentin

also doesn't care for kentin being scared of him or trying to pick a fight in class

is on the verge of strangling amber anytime she tries her weird ass flirting on him

him being salutatorian at graduation is so funny to me because he proved that all that his teachers gave him shit for "because you will never get passing grades with your behaviour" and here he is

only time he contributes to class is to throw snarky remarks at people - mostly nath ofc

sarcastic man apocalypse and he is their king

will sit next to lys if he feels like it sometimes but he is mostly allergic to breathing the same air as 'first row smarty mcfuck boy" (one of his many loving nicknames to nath <3)

[booksrbetterthanpeople]

Headcanon Scene Request: What actually happened in "Volpina" is that the rest of the Akuma Class humored Lila's lies with a fake smile and a "oh that's nice". They didn't believe her for a second and just didn't care enough to call her out on lies that were so obviously bs. Marinette assumed they were on her side despite Alya repeatedly stating that they "just don't care".

This feels like a reverse au of Volpina now that I’m reading it again

Rose: Can you believe Lila said she knows Prince Ali? And that she flew in his private jet with him?

Chloé: Ugh. If Jagged Stone’s writing a song about anyone, it’s me.

Nino: Apparently, Lila knows all of the Hollywood directors. Even promised she'd mention me to Steven Basielberg himself.

Marinette: *Rushes to Alya's side* Lila?

Alya: Yeah, she just started at our school. *points to Lila, who's on the second floor of the school with Adrien* Yeah, I threw her a bone, let her give me an exclusive interview for the Ladyblog, 'cause apparently, Ladybug saved her life once. Good for her.

Marinette: Who is this girl and what is she doing next to the love of my life?!

Alya: Girl. Chill. Adrien literally just met Lila. He’s probably being nice and showing her around.

Marinette: This is super bad, what if Adrien totally falls for her?! I've never flown in a private jet; nobody's ever written a song about me; and I don't know a single person in Hollywood! Adrien will forget I even exist!

Alya: … Mari, I think we need to have a talk.

*Lila guides Adrien along by the hand*

Marinette: *gasping* Where are they going? Alya, we've got to stop them!

Alya: Okay, you need to chill out. Look, Lila REALLY wants her video posted, I gotta make it seem like satire, like a joke video. *Drags Marinette to the classroom with her*

Marinette: What's going on? I mean has this Lila girl hypnotized everyone or something?

Alya: What the- Okay, we’re seriously having a long talk later.

Kim: About what?

Marinette: Lila is lying to you!

Kim: Oh, you caught on, too? Yeah, she said she’d introduce me to some Olympic swimmers. They’re dead, so she obviously doesn’t do her research.

Alya: Kim, get this. Our dear Marinette thinks we actually believe Lila.

Kim: What?!

Myléne: Did I hear that right?

Ivan: Please, think better of us.

Max: Marinette, we all know Lila’s lying. We just don’t care.

Marinette: B-but she’s a liar! She needs to be stopped!

Nathaniel: Why? She’s not hurting anyone; she’s just desperate for new friends.

Alix: *Laughs* Nath!

Nathaniel: I stand by my words.

Marinette: She’s probably laughing behind your backs right now and lying to Adrien so he’ll be impressed by her-

Alix: Ooh! That’s what this is about. You’re jealous.

Marinette: Excuse me?!

Ivan: First. Don’t yell, please. Second, her talking to Adrien seems to get under your skin more than her lying to us.

Juleka: Damn, Ivan.

Ivan: What? I’m right.

HSL episode 12 is so unhinged/chaotic (?) [a long post with many screenshots yayyy]

As you guys might know, we can get up to 6 illustrations on episode 12, so A LOT happens. Some of those things are very laughable, but others are not so much... I'll talk about everything in order of occurrence.

!!!: I'm sorry if "unhinged" or "chaotic" is not the right word for what I'm trying to say. although I'm confident enough in English, it's still not my 1st language. btw, i tried to post this 3 times and something always goes wrong, I'm stressed, so I'll be really happy with an interaction

btw again, if you're brazilian and would like to see this in Portuguese on Twitter or here, please let me know!!!

Mrs. Shermansky being toxic af and the exact opposite of how a good educator should act [in my opinion]

So... I get that she was worried about Candy and Castiel getting lost. But if you really think telling a teenager that the only thing they have ever done is to cause trouble is a good way to advert/encourage them to do the right thing next time is the best approach, please rethink your ways.

2. Mr. Faraize being a sweetheart, he is such a nice teacher

I'm not saying that to be a nice teacher you have to sugarcoat everything all the time and just not scold your students at all. But Mr. Faraize was so nice about it all, he just seemed happy/relieved to know his students were well and safe.

Side [angry] comment about episode 11: Bro, that race was so unorganized!!!! The least the school should have done was provide extra maps in case of accidents like the one that happened with Candy and the LI. Mr. Faraize was wrong too, he shouldn't have let Candy and the LI [in my case, Castiel] proceed after hearing that we had been fkn lost bc we lost the map and we were just wandering until we found the right track. UGH... If that happened irl with my little brother or idk any kid that happens to be in my life, I'd be so furious... ANYWAYS!

3. Born to be a star

He is loving the attention!

4. Violet, as always, being the most precious being in that school. [I'm sorry about the screenshot I used, I forgot to take others]

She's just so sweet and adorable, I want to hug her. YOU'RE NOT DUMB, BABYYYY.

4. Armin's reaction to Alexy's secret admirer

before the declaration:

after the declaration:

Honestly, I was just so happy to see that Armin didn't out his brother when he heard that a girl was interested on him. I didn't remember the details of this scene bc I was probably 12 y/o when i first played it.

5. Candy being paranoid that half of the boys at SA will turn out to be gay/not straight

This girl cracks me up istg... and why the fuck

she was just so worried to ask Castiel bc she thought he would get angry. Girl, we don't do fragile masculinity here.

6. Candy goes completely sidetracked on her CasLys fanfic just to check Lys's tattoo and witnessing one of the biggest bombs of MCL

I didn't get many screenshots from this part, because it's just sad when you know what it's all about in the end... but yeah instead of spying on Lys, Candy ends up seeing Nath's bruised body and is also caught by him.

Someone has probably done this already idrk, but I'm gathering some screenshots of moments that foreshadowed that something was just not right at Nath's and Amber's house... It'll probably take a while for me to post, but I'll try.

7. Nath being for real

He was so right for calling her dumb!!!! I think I was ranting about this on Twitter recently when I replayed the beach episode…

8. Lys’s reaction to the whole story [an icon]

I regret not taking screenshots sooner, but I was just too distracted laughing my ass off! There literally was about 2/3 scenes of just: 

Lys: 🤨[...] Candy: [Doesn’t know what to say/says something stupid] Lys: 🤨[...] Candy: [Doesn’t know what to say/says something stupid

Again, she doesn’t say anything [to get the image you need to go for this choice]

And then he shoes you his tattoo! Bro, he was SO COOL about it! If Candy had just asked nicely… But no, she has to complicate everything omg istg 

I still laughed a lot tho, I think at some point in this episode Cas said that this trait of Candy and her need to know and talk about everything is what makes her fun. I agree with him. She is annoying sometimes but definitely entertaining for the gossipers.

9. May the fanfic continue

Insert some dialogues here: Basically Cas sees Candy near them listening to their conversation and he asks what’s up. Candy approaches them and is like “uhhh…. Are you……….?” Then Castiel says:

For my mind’s sake let’s just imagine that the “offended” was not for “I’m offended you thought I was gay”, but for “I’m offended that you thought I’m dating Castiel when he’s not on my level of gentlemanliness and when I deserve so much more than this grumpy angsty tomato head” (don’t get me wrong, I love Castiel and I’d die for him, but it’s either that or think of a homophobic Lys, which I don’t think it’s the case for him)

10. Castiel shoots his 29482904 shot with Candy, but she’s stupid

Actually, one thing that I like about this scene is that it leaves open the interpretation of Castiel’s sexuality. Saying that he likes girls doesn’t necessarily mean that he is straight. I love to see that. And disclaimer: if you prefer to think that Cas is, in fact, straight, go ahead. That’s not a problem. He is not a real person and we’re allowed to imagine and speculate things, so this is just a headcanon of mine that he might be bi/pan or just simply not straight.

11. Amber and Kentin kiss

That alone is just unhinged and chaotic. I don’t need to say much. 

BUT I’M SO GLAD HE IS BACK!!! He’s gonna be a little shit for a while, because I think my Candy lost some points with him bc of a wrong choice after he left, but that’s fine! I MISSED HIM!!!

----

I hope you had fun with this little throwback!

The Story Of Us II

— Um amor de estações, Donghyuck Lee. Primeiro Ato: Mine

notas: o tumblr não salvou e eu fiquei mt frustrada, mas reescrevi o final pra vcs. espero que gostem!

— Puta que me pariu, viu? — Resmunga pela milionésima vez para si mesma. — Por que eu escolhi Literatura, meu Deus?

Está há horas estudando para uma prova da universidade, trancada no quarto, sem contato com ninguém. Gabi, tua colega de dormitório, bateu na porta algumas vezes só para pedir um sinal de vida — um pequeno oi já era o suficiente.

Entre a partida de Jaemin até hoje tanta coisa aconteceu. Os últimos dois anos do Ensino M��dio passaram arrastados, monótonos, mas não te deram tempo de se preparar para o jeito que sua vida viraria de cabeça para baixo após passar para a faculdade. E, bom, o ano que passou depois disso foi você tentando lidar com a responsabilidade de cuidar de si mesma aos dezenove anos.

Isso não significa que não esteja satisfeita. As coisas estão boas do jeito que estão. Ou tentava se convencer disto.

Infelizmente, não é como nos filmes. Não tem o glamour mágico do campus, na verdade, é tudo bem comum e muito mais trabalhoso do que dizem. O que dói mais é ver Nath e Yangyang apenas pela tela do celular porque cada um foi para um lugar diferente. Além deles, não tem muitos amigos. Sinceramente, só um, e não são muito bem amigos.

Mudar-se não foi o problema, talvez o tamanho da cidade seja um fator mais agravante — é enorme. Apesar do bairro em que mora ser mais aconchegante, fica intimidada ainda assim. Não tinha crescido para ser uma borboleta social. Depois de Jaemin, criou um medo de abrir-se ao novo, para amizades e principalmente amores. Apenas o seu nome consta na tua lista de paixões.

Pelo tempo que estava lendo, as letras começam a embaralhar. Alonga as costas ainda sentada, checa a hora no relógio: dez e meia da noite. Abre a janela acima da escrivaninha e admira o céu limpo e estrelado. Uma visita rápida não faria mal, faria?

Levanta-se correndo, penteia os cabelos com pressa e toma um casaco leve. A brisa fresca que denuncia o fim da primavera e preenche as ruas com cheiro de verão não te deixava impune, morria de frio. Na sala, caça as próprias chaves no jarro ao lado da porta.

— Vai sair essa hora? Só pode ser pra ver o namoradinho, né? — A intrometida da Gabi te zoa, e você só solta um ar de escárnio pelo nariz.

— Tá fofoqueirinha, né. Tem nada pra fazer não? — Responde dando a língua para ela, que devolve, te quebrando em uma risada leve.

— O meu trabalho é fofocar!

Ouve-a dizer por último, antes de cerrar a porta. Caminha a passos rápidos para fora do prédio do dormitório, ansiosa por um pouco de ar fresco.

A cidade costuma estar tranquila essa hora. Alguns corajosos se exercitam, uns passeiam com seus pets espevitados, outros decidem ir ver um amigo antes que seu turno acabasse. Você é outros.

Chegando na cafeteria vazia uns quinze minutos depois, é recebida pelo quentinho e pela meia luz do ambiente aconchegante. Aproxima-se do balcão com olhos curiosos, procurando por ele. Mas não está ali. A atendente uns meses mais nova do que você suspira com escárnio ao notar tua presença, e você sorri simpática.

Elisa é colega de trabalho, e peguete casual, de Haechan. Não é nada sério, o que ele já esclareceu nas poucas vezes em que a beijou depois de muitos drinks em algumas festas dos caras da faculdade. Ela não te suporta porque crê firmemente que você é a única razão pela qual ele não quer mais nada com ela. Não é bem uma mentira.

— Oi, Lis! — Usa um tom de voz feliz, bem forçado. O rosto da menina ferve. — Hyuck tá aí? — Enfatiza o apelido apenas para provocá-la ainda mais. É fácil demais se divertir com gente iludida, mas não dá tempo de ouvir sua resposta.

O próprio aparece esbaforido bem atrás de Elisa, o cabelo desgrenhado acrescenta um charme único ao rosto corado.

— Se não é a minha pessoa favorita no mundo! — Ele joga o avental verde musgo de qualquer jeito no cabideiro antes de dar a volta no balcão, sempre segurando o sorriso bagunceiro e confiante de costume.

Haechan te envolve num abraço duradouro, com direito a um beijinho no topo da tua cabeça e tuas mãos geladas por dentro do casaco de moletom grosso se aquecendo em sua lombar.

— Achei que cê tava estudando hoje. — Ele arqueia uma das sobrancelhas em dúvida. Quando estudava, nada poderia te distrair. Quase nada.

— Eu tava, mas... — Coça a nuca com a mão livre, a outra ele ainda segurava e acariciava automaticamente. Elisa se retirou porque, segundo ela, vocês a causam ânsia. — Vim te buscar pra uma aventura.

Ao proferir a última palavra, a face do rapaz se transforma. É como se ele conseguisse brilhar mesmo após o meio período estressante de hoje. Ele tem isso de bom, está sempre radiante, apesar de tudo.

— Qual aventura? — Os dentinhos prendem o lábio inferior para mascarar a felicidade repentina.

— Me levar de volta pra casa. — No mesmo momento, os ombros do maior relaxam e um bico se forma. — Que foi? Vim aqui só pra te ver.

A pirraça que ele fez te deixou constrangida, sempre faz isso. Balança os ombros como uma criança porque sabe que vai conseguir o que quer.

— Odiei. Nota ZERO! — Diz, mas em seu interior ainda ecoava a tua frase. Tinha ido até ali somente para vê-lo?

Donghyuck sabe muito bem que não pode se agarrar a nenhuma esperança. Por mais que os dois saibam que não têm uma amizade comum, nunca conversaram sobre o que acontece entre os dois.

Esbarraram-se num seminário uma vez e não se separaram mais, começaram a construir uma relação tão bonita, íntima, porém tudo era absolutamente platônico. Se dependesse dele, já estariam juntos há tempos. No entanto, você tem uma ferida, e Hyuck faz o possível para não ultrapassar esse limite.

Não que ele soubesse o que realmente tinha acontecido. Mesmo se tornando próximos, você nunca tocou nesse assunto. Uma vez te ouviu comentar sobre um ex-namorado e uma mágoa, porém é tudo que sabe. Não consegue dividir isso muito a fundo com ele por receio de vê-lo partir também.

— Tá tudo bem? — Tua voz preocupada e o aperto leve em suas mãos entrelaçadas acorda o garoto dos devaneios. Sempre caminham de mãos dadas... platonicamente. — Você parece distraído hoje. Tá muito cansado?

— Um pouquinho só. — Ele sorri sem mostrar os dentes, seu olhar fixo sobre tua figura te fisga por um momento.

Ele para de caminhar, fazendo com que se vire de frente para ele. O silêncio paira por uns instantes, a não ser pelo vento movimentando os arbustos cheios.

Os dedos livres viajam até a franja teimosa que incomodam as pálpebras apaixonadas de Haechan, que se fecham enquanto você ajeita os fios soltos.

Quando ele as abre de novo, amaldiçoa a si próprio mentalmente. Que vontade absurda de te beijar ali mesmo, chega até a mordiscar o interior da bochecha ao te fitar tão perto. Se pudesse...

— O que você acha da gente beber alguma coisa? — Propõe apressado, tentando mudar o foco.

— Eu tenho prova na sexta, Hyuck. — Você responde como se fosse, obviamente, razão suficiente para não ir, mas ele segura um olhar questionador de quem não vê sentido nenhum no que disse.

— E? — Ele contrai os ombros para provocar uma resposta mal criada tua.

— Tenho que estudar, né. — Retruca atravessada. Donghyuck sorri sem vergonha porque conseguiu te irritar minimamente, agora seria fácil te convencer.

— Como você é certinha, que saco. Amanhã você nem tem aula cedo, deixa de ser medrosinha.

Se pudesse comparar sua própria fala a uma imagem, seria a de um esqueiro caindo num poço de gasolina. Ele observa teu rosto aquecer e sente tuas mãos ganharem força contra a dele.

— Você me chamou do que?

— Me-dro-sa.

Inspira o mais profundo que consegue, mas não tem mais jeito. Já tinha caído na armadilha dele.

— Se eu beber mais do que você, o que eu ganho em troca? — Joga uma competição sobre a mesa. Se ele quer tanto te desafiar, não deixaria barato.

— Você escolhe. Sabe que eu faço tudo que você quiser. — Hyuck admite num sussurro que te entorpece por alguns segundos. A proximidade de suas faces só piora tua situação.

— Já que você diz... Vai ter que pagar todos os meus drinks... — Ele tenta te interromper para retrucar que aquilo era fácil demais. A atitude arrogante que o garoto exala quase rouba tua paciência por completo. — E meus trabalhos de estatística vão ser responsabilidade sua por 1 mês.

Assiste-o engolir em seco e sorri triunfante. É tudo fingimento, todavia. Ele já planejava pagar teus drinks, e estatística é tão fácil que ele faz teus exercícios com os pés nas costas.

— Eu sou fissurado em mulher rebelde desse jeito. — Toda brincadeira tem um fundo de verdade, por isso o garoto gargalha quando sente o tapa leve arder no ombro dele.

Não perde tempo em te puxar para a direção contrária ainda rindo, aquele pub escondido seria o refúgio da fadiga acumulada dos dois pelas próximas horas.

Acontece que ele só queria que você relaxasse um pouco porque anda muito tensa. Não precisava falar, ele já tinha reparado. Tua visita inesperada só colaborou para que ele tentasse te ajudar, por isso te chamou para se distrair.

Ele te observa beber com esforço para ganhar a pequena competição que criaram enquanto ele finge fazer o mesmo. Combinou com o bartender de trocar seus drinks após alguns minutos e tudo.

Hyuck queria cuidar de você, de modo que tão logo começam a pesar os teus olhos, ele entrelaça as mãos outra vez. Atravessam o aperto das pessoas aglomeradas por ali e respiram o ar puro, mas frio, do lado de fora.

— Não quero ir pra minha casa! — Você exclama com birra, fazendo-o rir. Ele está levemente alterado, totalmente suscetível a risadas sem sentido. — Posso dormir com você hoje?

Ele só balança a cabeça. O apartamento dele fica mais perto, de qualquer forma. Assim que chegam, entre piadinhas e pedidos de silêncio entre si, sobem as escadas de incêndio só por ser mais aventuresco. Estudantes de Literatura e suas relações com palavras...

Ele entra pela janela primeiro e te dá um suporte pela cintura e pelo quadril porque além de alegrinha, você está sem forças pelas gargalhadas. Jogam-se no sofá espaçoso e confortável da sala, as costelas já queimam, só que não importa.

Estar junto, isso importa.

— Cê acredita que a gente realmente bebeu numa quarta? — Tua voz ganha espaço após os suspiros que fizeram o caos cessar.

As pernas estão aninhadas uma na outra, e quando não ouve resposta, vira-se para Haechan. Ele te admira, iluminado pelas luzes restantes que invadem o espaço, o que o concedeu estrelas ao olhar sereno.

O nariz macio do garoto acarinha o teu com cuidado. Pode sentir o arfar suave atingir os próprios lábios cada vez mais próximo, está presa nele.

Até que certas memórias te afastam dele, e de repente a mágoa que transborda nos traços finos doem mais do que tudo.

— Eu cuidaria tão bem de você. — Confessa, perdendo a noção do perigo.

Nunca teria previsto a tua reação. Você se aninha mais perto dele, a garganta embargada desejando ser disfarçada o mais rápido possível.

— Eu não consigo, Hyuck... — Quase não sai, e se não estivessem tão colados, talvez não seria capaz de te ouvir.

O álcool chacoalhando tua mente pode ter sido a razão pela qual a tristeza começa a escorrer do teu rosto para os braços do menino.

— Você quer falar sobre isso?

— O Jaemin foi tão bom pra mim... e foi embora. — Honestamente tudo não passava de um bando de palavras desconexas que Hyuck tentava juntar. — Ele foi embora. Não foi culpa dele, mas eu senti tanta saudade. Foi tão difícil sem ele, eu tenho medo agora...

No mesmo momento ele se arrepende de ter perguntado, principalmente porque você está tão vulnerável nos braços dele. Assim ele te abriga no peito dele com mais fervor, numa tentativa desesperada de te fazer sentir segura.

Adormecem juntos sem nem mesmo perceber. Não antes dele também despejar algumas lágrimas por te ver assim, mas também porque quer tanto poder te fazer feliz. A confusão, a frustração de não saber o que fazer... Pelo menos tinham aquela noite para dormir.

No dia seguinte, Hyuck acorda sem você ao lado dele. Tateia o sofá até achar o celular que tinha caído do bolso, e arregala os olhos com a tua notificação.

você: desculpa por ontem hyuck: desculpa pq hyuck: para com isso

A sensação de aflição desperta o corpo inteiro subitamente. Não demora muito para se arrumar, elétrico e apressado para te procurar. Passa numa cafeteria perto do teu dormitório para te agraciar com um café forte e um pedaço de bolo logo cedo.

Gabi é quem o recebe, permitindo que ele invada o teu quarto e te dê um susto enorme.

— QUE MERDA É ESSA? — Você pula, as mãos tremem enquanto você processa a cena. Ele se desmancha em risos pela tua cara de surpresa.

— Me perdoa? — Ele pede ao se achegar e te cumprimentar com um abraço. — Eu trouxe red velvet... — Mostra o pacote pardo como uma oferta de paz. A risada presa ainda faz o pescoço ruborizar.

— A tua sorte é que tu sabe me subornar. — Tomando o saquinho de sua mão, sentam-se na cama e comem juntos.

Donghyuck sempre te surpreende fazendo exatamente o contrário do que você espera. Desta vez, fugiu do colo dele antes do amanhecer porque achava que a conversa da noite anterior faria com que ele se afastasse, ou que perguntasse mais sobre o que tinha dito.

Ele não faz nenhum dos dois. No chegar da tarde, ele te ajuda a produzir cartões de estudo e até memoriza o conteúdo junto contigo. Para falar a verdade, não parecia tão chato estudar com ele. Nada é chato com ele.

Mais uma vez ele te surpreende na mesma semana.

Não satisfeito em marcar uma prova numa sexta, teu professor mal amado marcou para sexta à noite. Por isso, ao sair da sala por volta das nove e quarenta da noite, completamente acabada, a última coisa que esperava era ver Hyuck ali.

Ele sorri sacana e esquenta tua cintura com as mãos espertas, depositando um beijinho na tua testa.

— Hoje sou eu que tenho uma aventura pra você.

— O que é? — Tua face muda pela animação e ele acha fofo.

— Bom, tô de folga amanhã e achei que a gente podia fugir pra um lugar mais tranquilo... — Ele faz um suspense, e você ama.

— Me dá uma dica?

— Sem dicas, você é boa demais nisso.

O caminho no carro é silencioso, leve. Em quase duas horas trocam algumas palavras aqui e ali, mas o cansaço facilita a quietude.

Ao chegarem, os dois se alongam preguiçosos, mas a vista é bonita demais para perderem tempo longe da beira da água.

O outro lado da lagoa que corta a cidade tem um charme estonteante. As luzes noturnas refletindo na água parecem diluir o agito que deixaram para trás, como se alcançassem um ponto de vista maior vendo as coisas de longe.

O vento cortante arrepia tua pele, e Haechan repara na hora. O toque familiar te acalora, e acalenta, sob as mangas finas do cardigan que veste.

É perceptível que algo mudou nos últimos dias, porém, ainda paira uma incerteza no ar. Ele anseia por te fazer entender o quanto ele quer estar contigo, e ao mesmo tempo não sabe se é capaz de mudar o teu medo. Só que, na sua opinião, vale a pena tentar.

— Tá muito frio, que isso. — A pontinha do nariz procura refúgio na tua bochecha, fazendo com que a risada fraca dele invadisse teus sentidos da forma mais perigosa possível. A vontade de ceder e pular em cima dele te tenta com uma insistência vigorosa.

Os dedos seguram e viram tua face para si, os lábios quase se tocam ao passo que os segundos passam devagar. Sente a mente girar e um flashback repentino te faz se afastar de seus braços.

— Desculpa, eu...

— Não precisa pedir desculpa. — Ele suspira derrotado. — Mas eu gosto tanto de você, eu quero você. Deixa eu cuidar disso que você tem, por favor.

Por alguma razão o que ele diz não te atinge bem, incomoda.

— Isso que eu tenho? O que eu tenho, Donghyuck?

A frustração borbulha dentro de Haechan. Como você não vê algo que está bem na sua frente?

— Por causa de um cara que você não vê há anos você não deixa ninguém nem tentar te fazer feliz.

As palavras te deixam despida porque ele está certo. Teus ombros encolhem-se sem que perceba, odeia-se por isso.

— Você não sabe o que aconteceu! — Acusa, tentando se defender, mas não há volta. O nó familiar já está quase se rompendo.

— Eu não sei porque você não me fala direito! — Esconde o rosto com as mãos numa tentativa de acalmar os ânimos. — Que merda, eu... eu não sou o Jaemin!

Você engole em seco, e ele repara as luzes refletirem mais brilhantes no canto dos teus olhos. Arrepende-se imediatamente. É a primeira vez que te ver quebrar assim, e seu coração se despedaça junto. Nem tinha começado nada e já está todo errado, quebrando uma promessa que sequer fez.

Levantando-se, dispara para a estrada com a intenção inútil de fugir dali. Precisa partir antes que tudo se desfaça diante de si sem que possa evitar, não tem força para outro adeus. Entretanto, firmeza do toque no teu antebraço impede que vá mais longe.

— Aonde você tá indo?

— Indo embora! — Vira-se para Donghyuck sem se incomodar-se que veja o pranto teimoso que umedece tua fronte.

— Tá doida? São duas e pouca da manhã, não precisa ser assim.

— Precisa! — A falha na voz te trai miseravelmente. — Precisa porque eu não sei resolver isso, Donghyuck, e eu não quero te perder!

— Calma... — De repende tudo fica claro, você tem medo de ser deixada outra vez. — Eu não vou embora, eu tô bem aqui contigo.

O alívio do desafogo tira o peso da pressão que vinha carregando sobre as costas, e agora você o abraça com uma força capaz de remediar as feridas escancaradas. Ele sussurra inúmeros pedidos de perdão enquanto você se permite ser inebriada pelo seu cheiro viciante.

Conectam os olhares mais uma vez quando o rapaz toca o teu queixo. Não resiste admirar cada detalhe de seu rosto, fitando a boca desenhada demoradamente. As digitais macias espantam as lágrimas insistentes, e um dos polegares acaricia o teu lábio inferior de forma convidativa.

As pálpebras cerradas concedem ao moreno a permissão que procurava, então juntam os lábios num selinho molhado, carregado de uma saudade sem fim. Num ímpeto que a paixão lhe ocasiona, ele espalha outros beijinhos pelas bochechas, na ponta do nariz, na testa, e, finalmente, retorna para onde iniciou.

Hyuck te beija com o anseio de quem esperou por muito tempo, mas movia-se devagar, queria aproveitar cada segundo. A língua se envolve na tua num carinho entorpecente, e tuas mãos agarram a gola do garoto como se você dependesse da proximidade para não cair, ao mesmo tempo que os braços fortes puxam tua cintura.

Ele desconta o sentimento escondido através da lentidão de seus movimentos, dos dedos desvendando o teu corpo, dos arfares satisfeitos escapando de seus lábios quando você arranha a nuca exposta. Deixa, sem temor, que o calor incendeie os corpos e derreta os escombros das barreiras que caíram.

O ar falta, mas ao separarem-se, a boquinha inchada do garoto te convida a deixar outros vários selinhos ali.

— Uma aventura mesmo, né. — Segreda, e ele ri ofegante.

— Tem que ser com emoção.

Recuperam o fôlego aos poucos, sentindo o bagunçar nos teus dedos da mão pousada sobre o peito acelerado de Haechan.

O nascer do Sol começa a iluminar as conversas longas que começaram ao longo da noite, e só após a aurora bater na porta para anunciar a chegada do solstício do Verão decidem voltar para casa.

Um fato interessante sobre a estação que começa é que os dias são mais longos do que as noites. Elas não se demoram, enquanto os dias se expandem e a luz toma conta de tudo.

No entanto, as estações são ciclos. O Outono logo chegará, e este, por sua vez, cederá lugar ao Inverno. E poucas coisas sobrevivem ao frio impiedoso.

[idk-i-want-mcl-content]

armin keenan the man you are. every time i listen to sweater weather i think of u.

[mclangel]

I have thoughts about *that* storyline in Love Life

Friends, Romans, Candy-ladies, lend me your ears; I’m about to write a damn essay lol.

It’s been a hot minute, so I think we can all safely dissect [LARGE INHALE] the cheating storyline.

Off the bat, I want to make it clear that I do not vibe with having the option to cheat on your partner.  Not really sure why BeeMov and ChiNo decided to go that route, but they did. Some people enjoyed the choice or the change in pace, which is valid.  It definitely shook things up. Personally, not my cup of tea so I didn't follow that path.

But my favorite route in Love Life is Nath’s (shocker I know), and I have some thoughts, feelings and opinions.

[Here’s where I go off the rails.]

Alright, so the developers wanted a cheating storyline.  Fine, sure, it raises the stakes.  I can see that much.

But when it comes to who the infidelity was offered up with, I have some things to say.

The fact that the option we got for our baited infidelity was Nath's pseudo-father figure is so incredibly out of pocket I almost have to respect the ballsy move.  But it also made, in my opinion, the emotional impact of such a choice different depending on your chosen Love Interest - aka Nath’s circumstances vs everyone else’s.

Because let’s be real - in the other routes, Eric is just Some Guy™ who happens to be the investigative partner/aforementioned pseudo-father figure with your high school friend.  But your Love Interest doesn’t really know him beyond that.

On Nath’s route, he’s your boyfriend’s investigative partner/aforementioned pseudo-father figure.

No other route gets such a personal connection to the person participating in the infidelity.  

Had BeeMov done something like introducing a different person per route who was an option to stray from your partner with, who each had a personal connection to that love interest (See, Zach for Castiel or [omg I just thought of this] Ranata for Priya) - that would make the emotional impact of the infidelity itself even and/or equal throughout the love interests, not just so emotionally devastating for just Nath alone.

I also don’t really think we got enough time with Eric to really fall for him beyond surface level (again, just my opinion), but with Nath’s route it’s at least a tiny bit more plausible in the scope of that story.  This is a person that our Candy would’ve conceivably spent more time with than we saw in the Episodes because of Eric’s close relationship with Nath.  I can buy there being more behind the scenes feelings developing in that context, but with everyone else, it just feels rather surface level.

Which, to be fair, is plausible as well as people do cheat on their partners for petty, surface level reasons, but in a game like this where we’ve spent so much time with our respective LIs, personally I’d need a little more weight to make it plausible.

All this to say Nath continues to be the one to get the most devastating storylines (I have seen the screen shots of his reaction when he finds out the player cheats and is leaving him for Eric and its DEVASTATING).

Just some thoughts, I’d be interested to hear others on it.

[melissak2802]

While I am at complaining about the supporting characters treatment in the show, may I speak about Sabrina.

Sabrina who is forced by the show to stay stagnant in abused and toxic position without revaluating her situation for 4,5 seasons,

after the protagonist attempts reaching out to her and explain she deserves a healthy friendship ("Evillustrator");

after her father loses his job on Chloe's whim ("Rogercop");

after Chloe repays her with open ingratitude and cruelty, breaking her heart, causing her akumatization ("Antibug"), and after it happens again ("Miraculer");

(And in both these cases her return to Chloe is framed as POSITIVE thing)

after she becomes a superhero ("Penalteam");

after she is akumatized because of Chloe's cruelty again but this time as purposeful manipulation by Chloe to force her akumatized self to participate in a crime of framing a person ("Adoration");

and then decided to rebel only when she is being forced to ruin 10 teens' career, but mostly because the plot demanded it ("Confrontation")... still better than nothing I guess.

Sabrina the only kid in the class whose first "akuma episode" is just an opening of another person's akuma episode (Chloe's, to be precise) and not even named after her;

(And whose second akuma episode is a Chloe-centric episode again, and whose third akuma episode is kind of Chloe-centric and kind of Zoe-centric)

Sabrina who has, like, several minutes of screen time in her superhero debut episode (that is, through, a misfortune she shares in "Penalteam" with Ivan, Nath, Marc, and also Kim in "Party Crasher");

Sabrina the only hero in the team who is replaced after one outing despite not even doing anything wrong as a hero or any explanation (in Season 4 finale Ladybug introduces Flairmidable as PERMANENT new Dog);

(And it remains completely unnoticed. Care to compare with the infamous Queen Bee retirement drama?)

Sabrina on whose personality the story cannot decide other than "she is Chloe's underling"(how willing to be a petty nuisance is she? What are her beliefs and values? Depends on the episode. What are her skills? Whatever the episode demands. Interests?...I suppose football was mentioned once).

Whose father's personality is retconned from protecting justice and people's rights despite corruption of superiors ("Rogercop") to approving of his daughter's rightless position and humiliation ("Startrain").

And whom being abused the story's deuteragonist (himself an abuse victim, mind you) is watching in enjoyment ("Lies").

And about whom the author has the gut to accuse VIEWERS of not caring about her enough.

mi sono divertita tantissimo a giocare a quest'evento, l'illustrazione è bellissima e questi nuovi personaggi li trovo molto simpatici, tra l'altro Nath e Roy sono amici e frequentano la stessa palestra.

Sicuramente giocherò a "NewGen" -sebbene non sia tradotto in italiano ma troverò comunque una soluzione-

Tra i nuovi flirt quello che attira maggiormente la mia attenzione è Thomas, sembra il più introverso e il suo sguardo è più malinconico rispetto agli altri, sarà interessante provare a scoprire qualcosa di più sulla sua personalità.

Devon è carismatico e affascinante, Roy sembra il più simpatico e sportivo, Amanda ha un portamento raffinato e sembra avere un bel caratterino.

Jason è comparso solo per qualche istante, possiamo considerarlo l'antagonista della storia ma a quanto pare anche lui è un possibile flirt, peccato non mi piaccia particolarmente da un punto di vista estetico.

Per concludere, è stato piacevole dialogare e trascorrere del tempo con Nath, ormai il mio caro "marito", nonostante nella storia originale non sia ancora arrivata al punto di sposarmi con lui, quest'evento è tipo un "flashforward" haha :')

Per rendere la cosa più veritiera avrebbero dovuto aggiungere l'anello nuziale allo sprite di Nath, secondo me.

Poi ho trovato molto tenera la scena in cui proprio quest'ultimo decide di preparare una cenetta solo per loro due, quant'è romantico il nostro Nick Flinch? ❤️

I had a lot of fun playing this event, the illustration is beautiful and I find these new characters very nice, Nath and Roy are also friends and go to the same gym. I will definitely play "NewGen" - even if it is not translated into Italian but I will find a solution anyway-

Among the new flirts the one that attracts my attention the most is Thomas, he seems the most introverted and his look is more melancholy than the others, it will be interesting to try to discover something more about his personality. Devon is charismatic and charming, Roy seems the nicest and sportiest, Amanda has a refined posture and seems to have a nice temper.

Jason only appeared for a few moments, we can consider him as the antagonist of the story but apparently he is also a possible flirt, too bad I don't particularly like him regarding physical appearance. To conclude, it was pleasant to talk and spend time with Nath, now my dear "husband", even if in the original story I haven't gotten to the point of getting married to him yet, this event is like a "flashforward" haha ​​:') To make it more truthful they should have added the wedding ring to Nath's sprite, in my opinion. Then I found the scene in which the latter decides to prepare a dinner just for the two of them very tender. How romantic is our Nick Flinch? ❤️

The science kids seem to not like the Akuma class barring Nath, but I wanna know what they don't like about Marinette.

Denise: Oh, sit down, honey! Lemme tell you something about Marinette! She says she loves Adrien, but what does she really love about him? I’ll tell you, he’s the heteronormative dream. White, blonde, rich, upper-middle class, and genes a straight girl would kill for! She has her future children planned out! Two boys and one girls! A designer and model with 2.5 kids, now tell me that is not the “American Dream” or some bullshit.

Zoé: They’re right. It’s unsettling that Marinette has the sexes picked out for her kids. I mean, what if one of them turns out trans? Then what? I think she’ll have a breakdown.

Ismael: Or she’ll give one girl away and try again for a boy. Th-this worries us. And back to Adrien, she doesn’t love him. She loves that he’s “perfect,” and thinks she’s the “perfect girl” for him. So much so that she sabotages any girl who shows a shred of interest in him. Resh and I saw her sabotage the Friendship Day thing with Kagami just so she wouldn’t be able to win and hang out with Adrien.

Reshma: It was… Not pretty. What lengths is she willing to go to? Wh-what if Adrien finds a girl he truly loves?

Marc: What about a guy? What if Adrien realizes he’s gay? Who knows what she’ll do? Not only that, but she keeps dragging the girls into her kinda illegal schemes. Didn’t she get them to put up a fake ‘no parking’ sign?

Jean: I also heard something about her having his entire schedule. I thought that was a rumor started by some psycho fangirls who hate her, but now I think they’re just legitimately concerned.

Reshma: And back to this “perfect girl” thing. I saw her team up with Chloé of all people to sabotage Kagami’s chances with Adrien at the movie premiere.

Cosette: That! That is what we’re talking about! She’ll go to great lengths to ruin Adrien’s own happiness just to make herself happy by dating him. And if we could talk about Luka for a moment. What she did to him was unfair. If she was still in love with Adrien, she shouldn’t have been dating him. When Luka got akumatized into Truth and Alya told him Marinette’s biggest secret was her crush on Adrien, he said he already knows about that…

Lacey: So, her obsession over Adrien didn’t fade! And the explanation for her and Luka breaking up was “oh she’s so secretive!” What secret?! That’s she’s obsessed over Adrien?! Like Marc said, that’s not a secret!

Aurore: Now onto her actions regarding Adrien. As we’ve mentioned, she has his schedule. How did she get it? It’s nowhere online! The only explanation is that she stole his assistant’s tablet and got the information off of that!

Simon: I just tried to hack into her tablet, but it’s got one hell of a firewall. And I doubt Marinette has the hacking knowledge to get into it herself. Therefore, we can only assume that she got ahold of Nathalie’s tablet, or even Adrien’s phone, and got the schedule herself.

Mireille: Oh, and then you have Lila. Her only ambition was to expose Lila as a liar simply because she started showing an interest in Adrien. What about the fact that her friends were being lied to? Then she expected them to believe her every word about Lila being a liar simply because they’re friends. She didn’t provide any evidence, and it only made her look even more jealous of her. I mean, if Lila were to be in our class and I knew she was a liar, I wouldn’t go to my friends as a whole, I’d tell Aurore my concerns, and we’d research the facts together.

Zoé: Yeah, that’s right. Marinette lets her jealousy get the best of her. And yes, while we get jealous from time to time, you don’t see Marc sabotaging another boy for showing an interest Nathaniel, or Denise yelling at some girl for being friends with Simon, or Jean teaming up with his worst enemy to make some guy hanging out with Austin look bad in front of him. Because we’re rational!

Jean: It’s just… That’s like her whole character, being a stalker toward Adrien and not caring who she hurts emotionally just to be close to him. It’s unfair to the people around her, and those helping her with her plans are going to get in trouble.

Reshma: It’s is pretty much the reason why we try to distance ourselves away from her, yet she keeps being persistent.

Marc: Yeah, she won’t stop trying to get Nath and I to make more romance manga which are all basically a guide for her life with Adrien, and it’s deeply disturbing how much detail she has us put into them, right down to the exact texture of Adrien’s hair. We lied and told her we had too many commissions coming in to make more comics for her.

Aurore: Last week, she invited Mireille, Reshma, Lacey, Denise, Cosette, Zoé, and I to a sleepover at her place with the girls from her class, and I had to plan one at the last minute just so we didn’t have to go. I don’t feel like being in the same room as Adrien’s schedule.

Cosette: So, in short, that’s why we don’t like Marinette. She’s obsessive, a stalker, insensitive, and prone to some extreme jealousy. Hell, I could be talking to Adrien right now, and she’ll try to sabotage me in some way. And I’m dating Zoé!

Ismael: Yeah, that’s uh… That’s it… So, what now?

Marc: Guys, Nath just texted! Marinette’s coming to our classroom right now!

Denise: *Throws a desk out of the window* Run! Everybody run, now! *Jumps out of the window*

Lacey: *Packing snacks* We’re just gonna… Not be here! *Jumps out of the window, followed by Jean, Reshma, and Aurore*

Ismael: I’ll be in the catacombs! *Drops a smoke bomb and disappears*

Marc: *Pushing a bookshelf to the side to reveal a hole carved in the wall* You saw nothing!

Simon: *On his tablet* Goodbye, everybody! *A small drone flies into the room, grabs Simon by the back of his shirt, and carries him away*

Mireille: *Pulling apart the floorboards, revealing a panic room*

Zoé: Mireille! Take us with you!

Mireille: Get your own, panic room, bro! *Moves the floorboards back into place*

Cosette: YOU COWARD!

Marinette: Zoé! Cosette! Just the two I was looking for!

Cosette: … *Punches a wall* FUCK!… I’m afraid I must go to the nurse at this very moment. For you see, my hand is horribly injured, and Zoé twisted her ankle.

Zoé: I what? *Cosette kicks her ankle* AAAH! Yes! My ankle is twisted!

Marinette: Oh. Okay, well, maybe later, then-

Cosette: I may need stitches and I gotta go to the hospital for a few weeks! Bye! *Grabs Zoé’s hand and pulls her out of the room*
