#need to see all my favourites in Situations™️

[clear-what-i-was-seeing]

artists have "draw this in your style", i think fic authors should start doing "write this in your style" where a ton of people write the same prompt but all do their own lil interpretations and characterizations and fun dialogue bits etc

[s-coquette]

thinking about @charliemwrites mean ghost!!

charlie is literally one of my favourite writers on here, any thought™️ that crosses their mind makes me get brain worms. this is my first time writing anything like this so i hope it isn’t a complete disaster :,)

Johnny gets sent out on deployment without Simon for a couple weeks. This mission needing his demolitions expertise more than anything else. Leaving poor you to face Simon’s wrath alone.

While Johnny is home it’s easy to avoid him. Just hunker down next to the Scotsman and deal with his clingy and annoying self, anything but having to interact with the mammoth of a man.

He’d barely glance at you at first, leaving you to Johnnys care, having him bathe you, dress you, hold you, basically a small child with its new favourite doll.

You thought that the piercing gazes he sent you with his honey brown eyes were an indication of how much he hated you. Maybe you were getting too much of his boys attention? Were you hogging him? Were you acting out in some way that you hadn’t noticed? All of this made you extremely nervous to be in Simon’s presence, hearing him breathe next to you sent shivers down your spine.

The air was tense around you, the giant man in front of you made you feel like he was taking up all of the oxygen in the room. Casting a shadow over you from where he stood, a foot away.

“What’re you lookin’ at?”

The loud drawl of his Manchester accent and raw voice made your chest shake. You snapped your eyes back at him, realising you spaced out in fear. His arm, which was probably wider than your head, reached out behind you.

“Wh-“

A dawn of realisation fell on you when you heard a glass clink behind your head. You were standing there like an idiot while he was trying to grab a mug.

“I’m sorry-“

You slinked back to the other end of the kitchen, your pop tarts left on the counter next to him. It felt like poking the bear to even try to reach for them.

Simon’s eyebrow quirked in response, like he was waiting for something as you stared at him leaning against the marble countertops.

“I’m- I’m sorry, sir.”

You think you saw his lips curl up under the simple black balaclava when he heard the loud panicked inhale from you, in the addition of your eyes stinging with tears.

His eyes fell down to the opened bag of sweets you left on the counter, which you were munching on without even heating up. His sight then fell on you, chewing on your lip in fear while staring at the same thing.

“Y’want this?”

His calloused big fingers reached around and grabbed the pop tarts, throwing them up in the air unceremoniously and showing them off to you, like a forbidden fruit.

“N-Nevermind, I’m not hungry anymore-“

You tried to hurry out before his loud booming voice interrupted you.

“Hold on, you’re not goin’ anywhere.”

You freeze, slowing turning on your heels and staring at him.

“C’mere, kitty.”

You gulp and stare at him, his piercing stare making your hands shake.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.”

His voice now cold, eyes narrowing. That was the only sign you needed to spring to action. Almost throwing yourself across the island, you stood in front of him again. The situation somehow even tenser than before.

“Now be a good kitty and meow for me, then you’ll get your treat.”

You could hear the smug smirk in his voice without even having to see it. A cold sweat washed over you as you thought about what to do to escape this situation.

“I’m listening.”

His tone warning again.

“meow..”

The little peep that left you seemed to give him great entertainment as you watched his eyes crinkles like he was grinning.

“I ought to teach you some manners since the mutt clearly can’t.”

You frowned at what he meant by ‘teach’, not even wanting to imagine it.

Your endless thoughts were interrupted by getting smacked in the chest with your unfinished bag of pop tarts, scrambling to grab at them before they fell on the floor.

“Now scram.”

And you did just that.

Did you play the pristine cut of STP? What do you think of Dragon, Cage and HappilyEverAfter if so?

Spoilers for STP pristine cut under read more (+ a lot of text warning)

Hehe I see STP ppl are excited and want more silly comics

Well there’s a lot of things to say tbh 👀

Overall really enjoyed new content so far

It kinda feels like a fanservice for the people who already played the game

Which is not a bad thing, don’t get me wrong ☝️

I just view the original game as a perfect instalment, which doesn’t really need a continuation

New scenarios is just a pleasant bonus

(I’m one shot/short story fan okay 👉👈)

I already saw Dragon and Happily After routes

Yet to see all the variations the Cage route has to offer (heard ppl said it’s the most diverse one)

The Princess and The Dragon

HEY REMEMBER HOW I SAID I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF CHANGING THE GENDERS OF THE CHARACTERS BC THAT WAY THE DYNAMIC WOULD BE UNSETTLING?

YEA SO THIS ROUTE EXPLORED THAT DYNAMIC GUYS

I enjoyed this route, bc again

It’s scary, uncomfortable, makes you feel unsafe and uneasy 👁️👁️

Awesome depiction of how scary this type of situation would be

And of course bonus points, we got to see the bird bois 🎉

(Opportunist go brush yo teeth, u spooky lookin ass)

Happily ever after

Ok

Noooow we’re talking

I love that route, it’s my favourite so far

The pain, the suffering, the absolutely devastated British crowman

Brilliant, chills

This one actually feels like a missing part of the og game to me

I wanted to go into details about my opinions on that route in the future post

But now I want to talk 😈

👏Smitten👏my boy👏how are you in your edgy villain era already omg

Can we just admit for a second how badass Smitten is for escaping protagonist’s body?

Like-💥

This was the first route I saw and was like “Ooooh that’s probably the new gimmick, every voice is doing to escape and shenanigans happen” AND NO Smitten is just that guy™️ absolute chad

Minus points for “we will give her something she doesn’t know she wants yet”

*hits Smitten with newspaper*

Bad voice 💥🗞️bad 💥🗞️ we listen to what 💥🗞️our queen 💥🗞️wants 🗞️💥🗞️💥💥

But it works okay

The atmosphere is immaculate, I was legit concerned for a moment

Ok now give me a moment to be a nerd ☝️🤓

I love how this route gives Smitten flaws

I think finally we saw that every voice has them, because voices are an isolated part of a person, a pure feeling if you will

And Smitten represents that naïve love idealisation/love obsession

The guy loves the princess, she is pure perfection to him

This feeling is blinding and honestly pretty toxic irl

During the whole og game Smitten was never conflicting?

He pretty much the comedic relief of the whole game (and least it felt like that to me)

I think he was kinda a missed potential

Yes, love is sweet

Crushes are can be funny, silly and overall just positive

But it can be so destructive, so painful and so so exhausting when it gets to the point of obsession

And that route gives you a direct illustration of it

Which is amazing

I honestly think we don’t have enough media just showcasing this feeling of obsessive love and how dangerous it is

(yandere trope doesn’t count 👿 this trope just kinda glorified the issue)

And the tragedy is SMITTEN IS TOO DELUSIONAL TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT HE’S DOING WRONG

My poor poor birb boy

He’s too focused on doing everything perfectly, to make princess satisfied, to make us satisfied, why isn’t it working? He does everything he can, why doesn’t it work? How doesn’t it work?

HE’S TOO LOVESTRUCK TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND REFLECT

AAAAAAAAA

God I’m insane about Happily ever after

As a person who struggles with this exact feeling of idolising and obsessing over ppl, I just really feel that route

Goth Smitten incoming *coughs*

Thanks for your question ❤️ hope you enjoyed reading my mess of thoughts💥

Share your thoughts in comments/reblogs if you want ppl

[leslutdepointedulac]

im 4 days late but if you’re still accepting character ask game questions 9, 13, 20 for louis! -aunteat<3

Of course!! I'm always ready to accept asks for my favourite soggy ferret :soggyuwu: Thank you for this ask 💞 :boop:

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

This is an interesting question, because in some ways I think I could be, but then in other ways I'm like absolutely not 🤧 I think we need to pro/con this lmfao

Pros:

We're both quiet, relatively solitary creatures who will grace people with our presence on our own terms - we won't feel the need to be constantly around each other, therefore are lessikely to get on one another's nerves

We both love to read so we could read together and compare/talk about books

We can make a mess and won't really be bothered by it (mainly because I can rarely motivate myself to tidy up after myself but still)

We can both (affectionately) make fun of Lestat and not so affectionately if needs be

We just generally have similar vibes that I think would compliment each other nicely

Cons:

We both have similar vibes that could also clash horribly e.g. wallowing in despair to the point where we would create a never ending black hole of soggy doom and gloom

Louis' snobby, pretentious nature is only tolerable because he's fictional and I don't have to put up with him. If he was real and we lived together, I couldn't deal with that and would probably call him out on it in a hopeless, failed attempt to get him to shut up with his snobbery

All in all, if we were to judge it based on this list alone, the pros outweigh the cons and therefore I think I could be roommates with Louis. The Black Hole of Horrors™️ and pretentious snobbery is a small price to pay to live with him, I think 🤧

13. What's an emoji, and emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

So funny you should ask me this when I have the perfect emoji 😌

It's our very own :louwee: 🤧 I couldn't possibly pick any other emoji when I specifically made this with Louis in mind lmao.

As for an emoji I think Louis would use, I get the feeling he wouldn't really get the concept of them initially 😭 Benji might try and teach him what they are and how to use them, but I feel like that would just lead to Louis misunderstanding and using emojis 'inappropriately'. Like using 😏 after telling Lestat he can't wait to see him later, and Lestat thinks that means he's gunna get laid but Louis intended for it to just be a general smile. Plot twist: Louis actually does know exactly what he's doing but he's just playing dumb to to mess with people 😭

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

I won't lie, I don't know if this is much of an 'ideal best friend' type situation as such, and it might be kinda obvious, but the friendship I keep on coming back to is with Daniel.

I just think that Daniel is someone who could simultaneously respect Louis' boundaries, while also trying to gently nudge him out of his comfort zone. Say for example, Daniel's the one trying to convince Louis to attend the next ball with him, convincing him that he wants a familiar face (even though Armand and Marius will be there too), and how it won't hurt to get out a bit and interact with other people. But at the same time, if Louis did go and eventually had enough, Daniel wouldn't stop him from seeking out a little hideaway somewhere. He may even join him, if Louis lets him, in the event that the ball has become Too Much for Daniel for one night.

In turn, perhaps Louis would be a source of comfort for Daniel. If he was having a rough-ish night and didn't want to go to Armand or Marius in case they worried too much, but Daniel still wanted a familiar person to turn to, Louis could be that someone. Louis might let Daniel vent to him while he listens, or simply lets him hang out in silence, just co-existing in the same space until Daniel feels better.

And I think as well, their shared history would give them a relationship that's unique to them. How many other vampires can say they met with one of them as a human through an interview, ending with one of them almost draining the other dry? Maybe, in some weird way, that event would bring them closer together?

I just really love the idea of Louis and Daniel together and I think they would make really good friends. They could be good supports to one another while also being able to genuinely enjoy each other's company.

For the ask game *hands you a Emily*

You know you think this would be easy considering she lives rent free in my mind but man what new is there to say when I said it all already.

How I feel about this character

Emily had a very big role to fill as the playable protagonist of dishonored 2.

From my perspective Female protagonists in sequels tend to be mocked and ridiculed, especially if they replacing the original male protagonist from the first game. Some examples include Athena from Ace attorney 5, and Abby from TLOU2 (though Abby is a special case separate from the argument). Female protagonists tend to get shit unless they fall under two categories. A) They're the protag of a new game (Aloy from Horizon) or B) The female protagonist started as an NPC before being Playable (Ellie from TLOU).

Emily falls under the second category, so the community was already familiar with her. Still didn't completely block her from criticism from all the gamer bros™️ who cannot stand playing as anything but as a cis white male bc God forbid they do otherwise.

I will literally defend any female protagonists with my life. Which is why she became my favourite character. Sure. I like mainstream shit. But I like the underrated shit even better.

I also think Optimistic protagonists tend to be less favored compared to their emo-ass counterparts and I don't know who hurt yall but can we please let a little hope into our lives-

In conclusion: I will defend Emily til I die and even once I get over my brainrot I promise you she is only reincarnated in a form of an oc. Hell I'll probably will name an oc directly after her. I did it once before and I'll do it again

All the people I ship romantically with character

Emily X Billie

TOXIC YURI / ENEMIES TO LOVERS LETS GO !!!

Emily X Alexi

Very nice. Very plausible. I think alexi should been Emily’s Canon romantic partner in game especially with how fast alexi was introduced and killed and there was have been more emotional connection to her. Wyman didn't need to exist and the brownie points of making them non-binary is pointless (and I'm saying that as non binary myself.)

Emily X Hypatia

I see the potential and I personally like to think that Emilt and Hypatia got along a little too well on the Wale and Billie was jealous the entire time and completely misresd the room between them. Because tell me why when Billie says "let's hope your friend (hypatia] doesn't burn the ship down" HAD SO MUCH JEALOUS UNDERTONE ??? toxic Yuri for the win

Alexi X Emily X Billie

Hear me out,,,, herding dog, sheep, and wolf situation. And no not a love triangle. Emily has two hands okay.

Emily x Mindy

They fucked once. Thats it.

Emily X Outsider

Once again there's potential here and i can see it. Idm seeing stuff but it doesn't excite me to personally create for it (though if I made it Yuri...)

My non romantic otp for this character

Outsider X emily

You can't tell me the outsider didn't have favorites (and that favourite was Emily.) The two are besties.

Emily X Alexi

Doomed one-sided crush and the oblivious best friend okay. (Alexi should have lived change my mind)

Emily X Hypatia

They're both nerds

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in Canon

Nothing because I respect the narrative as it present but also I am a comic creator with free will, delusion and pure spite and delusion and anything I want to see happen I've already thought about it. There's already an outline. it's in my wips folder. I am the change I want to see in my world

Just kidding I wanted a fucking voice line to discovering corvo's childhood home and daud confession. Where is it akrane. WHERE IS IT.

[moron-hassaikai-and-more]

character meme: chisaki kai

What I like: Design, I relate to him to a degree, he’s fun to pose and mess around with like a artists doll, plague doctors are cool. Also how deep and tragic his character actually is if you look into it, though that falls into fun to fuck about with I think.

What I dislike about him: Colour scheme, hair line (anime only) did you have to be That Evil™️? He put pops out of commission, his treatment of the other Hassaikai who all seem really cool imo

Favourite moment: pops finding him when he was younger. I want to squish baby Kai’s cheeks.

Least favourite moment: fuck the WHOLE deku fight scene. All of it. In the bin. Now. And him yelling at pops and putting him in a coma

A situation with the character that should be explored more: I say this on behalf of all chisaki fans: LET👏🏻HIM👏🏻SEE👏🏻POPS👏🏻 (also I wanna see a scene where he encounters a bug in the compound/on him, or just like, day to day life or off days or something. We got it with the league via mha smash but we never got it with the hassiakai)

Interesting AU: Herohaul is fun, also I read a crack fic where the Hassaikai were children and Tengai was a caretaker at a daycare. I need more of that.

Crossover: Sanrio. We got it with the 1-A students and pros, give us Hassaikai Sanrio.

Favourite Ship: Chronohaul. Chronohaul all the way.

Other ships: Aizawa x Overhaul x Chrono (don’t question iiiiitttt)

BROTP: Idk why but him and mimic. Or him and Katsukame.

NOTP: Shigahaul. He- he took overhaul’s arms- that’s gonna be abusive for SURE. (Tho tbh I don’t like him being shipped with anyone from the league, it all give me the uncomfies)

Assortment of headcannons: I only have one, but, he was actually incredibly clingy to Chrono and pops as a child, as in, he’d cry for hours if he was taken away from them for whatever reason, and now that he’s not like that, he’s terrified he’ll revert to it, and that’s why he makes no emotional attachment to anyone and tries to see everyone as pawns, so no one sees how weak he really is (or. Thinks he is.)

And that was my chisaki rant that was oddly pops centric for a few points.

[ajokeformur-ray]

This post has been a long time coming but I just haven't had the time, the energy or the words.

But now, eight months later, I have all three, so here we go.

@rosesloveletters and I FINALLY got to meet in person in October 2022. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We had a lot planned for our holiday, and I mean a lot. An entire A4 page full of ideas and we managed to do every single one of them and even a few more which were impulsive and thought of on the day. Rose took me to four or five different clothing shops because I wanted a very specific type of shirt and I wasn't willing to compromise on what I wanted (we practically studied the reference photos, looking for The Right One™️ and to this day, you need a crowbar to get it off me), she took me to Smoothie King just because I vaguely mentioned I wanted another of what I'd fallen in love with a few days before (read: I begged her for my favourite drink and she was generous enough to take me even though we only went the day before💖). Not to mention the time she took me to Hot Topic and watched me spend $200 in ten minutes on band t-shirts. I went feral.

But unanimously, our favourite times were when we watched films, ate snacks and cuddled on the sofa every night. Hanging off each other's shoulders at 1am in her kitchen because we somehow fucked up s'mores so bad that all we could do was laugh about it. Were they delicious because we made them well or because we were high on laughter and each other's company? I still can't decide and I don't think I'm supposed to.💕 All I wanted to do when I flew from the UK to the USA was give the woman I have come to know over the last (almost) four years as my sister, more of a family member to me than some actual biological family members, a good old squeeze. All I have ever wanted from Rose is a hug, and the more she gave me, the more I wanted. I stop counting after our tenth hug and started enjoying them without worrying about memorising the number.

Within just five minutes of meeting her for the first time, I had hugged her, touched her face to ascertain that she was real (this bit felt like a dream; I only recently asked and it was confirmed that I did actually do this🥺). I had managed to achieve a dream years in the yearning and making for the both of us, and headbutted her shoulder affectionately like a cat. I am not a touchy person, generally speaking, but with Rose, I was following her around her house like a puppy, wanting every second with her that I could. In the two weeks we were together, the longest amount of time we spent apart was when one of us was in the shower or we were sleeping. If those two things weren't happening, we were side by side and living the life.

I have never in my life felt so at peace and relaxed. I was in a totally new country having used my passport for the first time, been in an airport for the first time, flown for the first time, gone to America by myself with severe anxiety and depression (at the time I was undiagnosed and unmedicated) for the first time... I was a total wreck emotionally speaking and I had many an anxiety attack. I had people back home - primarily my aunt - pretty much holding my hand through phone and video calls to help me navigate the flying process and make it to Rose in one piece. I was so scared but then when I saw her coming at me through the crowd, it was like nothing mattered. I'd reached my sister, I was there with her... and that had been all I cared about. All the way between the home airport and the airport where we met, I just kept thinking Rose is on the other side, keep going, Rose is waiting... and it got me through one of the scariest self-imposed situations I've ever been in (so far).

All the daydreams in the years before we got to meet... none of it lived up to the reality of seeing Rose running towards me... I'm surprised we didn't knock each other to the floor, honestly. We practically flew at each other. Even now, I think of hugging her every day and meeting her again. It usually makes me cry, or at the very least go about my day smiling to myself. I am so so grateful to and for Rose... she really is like a sister to me, we share many similarities and any differences between us are minor. The aesthetic differences between us makes me giggle; sometimes talking to her is like talking to me, but our clothes went in the opposite direction to one another. I love her so much, so much, and I miss her every day.💔

The point is, I crossed the world to give Rose a hug and she welcomed me with an open home, open ears and open arms and I'll never be able to thank her enough for her warmth and generosity; not just once but twice, because I have already fully paid for my next journey to see her again in September 2023!🥺😍🙏I just... I love her so so much, she's the sister I always wanted. I wanna grow old with her, but I suspect I already am.🥰🫂💖

[corvigae]

Heloooooo your Tav is a cutie (mine’s also a wizard, gotta love the Annoying class)! What’s your party? What’s her favourite person? What’s her background and backstory??? tell me everything

YEEAAAHHH WE LOVE THE NERD ASS CLASS!!

Thank you!! Lately my party's been Shadowheart, Astarion, and Karlach. At all times it's always Shadowheart and Astarion and then the third spot is more fluid for whoever provides the most utility/story at any given moment, but the way I have Karlach specced she's a fucking beast of a tank so I'm thinking I'm gonna be keeping her around for a solid while, lol.

Her favorite person is almost definitely Shadowheart, they clicked pretty quickly and somehow despite Lunarae being the most nosy bitch in the world and constantly asking her about herself and her past, Shadowheart didn't get annoyed with her prying and just. started opening up to her instead?? So they're absolute besties, and like I've said before, even thought the game only allows you to romance one origin character at a time, as far a I'm concerned they are also girlfriends, despite the fact that she's also romancing Astarion.

Speaking of which I have so many thoughts on Lunarae and Astarion but they're all kinda just swirling around in my head constantly and hard to exactly pin down. But basically when they first met Astarion thought Lunarae was a ridiculously naive, self-righteous idiot who wanted to be a hero and was going to get herself and everyone around her killed while doing so, and really did not like her much at all. Then as they started travelling together he was like "Okay so I guess she can actually handle herself in a fight alright. She's still self-righteous and naive and annoying as fuck, tho." But then as time goes on he sees a bit more past just the "wanting to help people and do The Right Thing all the time" aspect of her, and sees her be a little shit and tease people sometimes, be really level-headed and able to lie or talk her way out of situations, and her being a little goofy with her looting and hoarding compulsions and how incredibly vindicatedly happy she gets when she finds a good item in some random pot or some shit, and he starts to think of her as a whole person that he actually kind of likes and respects, especially after he finds himself on the receiving end of that unrelenting kindess of hers like when she lets him feed on her or when she gave him the Necromancy of Thay book. Not to mention they're both just unabashedly Down Bad for each other, honestly. He's still frequently frustrated with her unwillingness to indulge in the tadpole's power and her insistence on being the hero, though, and for Lunarae's part even though she really likes him and thinks he's interesting and silly and he makes her happy, his constant thirst for power and frustration with her annoys her in turn, and they're still often butting heads on issues of morality. This kind of plays into another aspect of them that I think is interesting though is how they kind of balance each other out? Because let's be real, at least some of Lunarae's approach to Astarion is "I can fix him," and maybe she can slowly coax him into giving at least a little bit of a shit about other people, but the thing about Lunarae is that she's so constantly giving? She never says no to someone who needs her help, she never stops trying to do her best for others, and she never stops giving, to the point where it can be a real detriment, actually. So she could really benefit from somebody who can teach her to be at least a little bit selfish and care about herself and her own needs sometimes, actually.

This is already a long-ass post so I'm gonna put the rest under a readmore, esp since her backstory isn't all that fully fleshed out, so it may be kind of cingey rip

As for her background she's a Sage bc of course her nerd ass is, and I debated on whether I wanted to actually give her a serious DnD Backstory™️ or if I wanted to just have her be the only normal, well-adjusted person in the party and just play that for laughs, but the more I think abt it the more I think the backstory I thought of for her helps make her determination to Do The Right Thing and constantly help people and also be hyper-aware and vigilant of Wizard Hubris make a lot more narrative sense. So her big backstory is basically that she was raised by a single mother who was a very powerful and respected wizard with a very high up and prestigious position in their city. Her mom was always thrilled to nurture Lunarae's innate curiousity and love of learning, and taught her how to study magic fairly young (She never really taught her spells directly though, she still had to learn them herself). Sometimes she had a tendency to treat her more like her apprentice than her daughter, but Lunarae was always eager to learn and didn't mind all too much. The thing about Lunarae's mom though was that she was an incredibly ambitious wizard, and treated power as a sort of commodity that one can hoard and should constantly be striving to obtain, and eventually she came up with a magic ritual that would significantly increase her pwoer and make her one of the most powerful mages in history. She of course excitedly told Lunarae about this ritual, and about all the good she could do in the world once she had all this power at her disposal, and Lunarae agreed to help her pull it off. She was getting ready to go on a trip to visit a friend at the time, though, and her mom agreed to wait until after she got back to attempt it. What Lunarae found when she returned, however, was just carnage and destrution. Her mom had apparently gotten impatient waiting for her to return and had decided to attempt the ritual herself, and whether she had done something wrong or the ritual itself was just too unstable, it had not only failed, but failed in such a catastrophic way that it had leveled her home and about 10 city blocks, with the only thing remaining just rubble and viscera streaked across the smoldering, broken buildings. In picking up her life after that, Lunarae briefly considered turning away from magic entirely, but she knew she couldn't do that - she loved it too much, and it was the only connection she had left to her mother. So she instead resolved to use her magic to help people as often as possible, to be a force for good in the world, and to also be cognizent of that fact that wanton lust for power, even with good intentions, can be deadly.

If you do some headcanons of Hotel California I bet they would be amazing

Say less hehehe~

So, most of them are mainly thots™️ based on things I would do in the situation just to be a little shit, but...

So they can all read minds, especially loud thoughts, so I just imagine pissing them off purposely with this knowledge

Like, they are all whore knee af for you, so as soon as you show the slightest signs of perhaps needing to relieve some stress or even any sort of desire on your part showing, at least one of them is there offering to give you a hand

This is where the 'being a little shit' comes in

You: "lol, no <3"

Also You: Proceeds to think about fucking someone, maybe your favourite celebrity or fictional character just to spite them

You: *giggling and twirling your hair* (metaphorically if it cannot be twirled)

Pisses them off, but on the plus side it lets them know what you're into for when the time comes, so it's a win-lose situation at times lol

I can also just imagine you listening to music at times and thinking about the lyrics or imagining little scenarios in your head that go along to it and them wishing you'd imagine those scenarios with them instead

On a completely related, yet also unrelated note potentially

One of the members, walking in to see you crying: *beast mode activated* who did this to you?

You, turning to them with bloodshot eyes: dobby didn't deserve to die, he was such a good house elf

The clownery

Also you: *sighs* I wonder when I'll meet the love of my life

Them: *looking into the camera like they're in the office* we're right here :)))

I have more, but they're mainly me just being thirsty af lmaoo

[larentsaloud]

Bright has almost nailed the role...he is off in some cases like Ren airport crying one but he was good in Gorya classroom crying one. Also, unexpectedly good at the scary and playful scenes!

Tu is wonderful 😘 I also did not expect for her to be so good in her first role. The casting director did a good job with these two...they are not stiff around each other!

welcome anon. ♥️

so glad to read your message!

yes, Bright was off when crying at the airport, I think maybe he was struggling to connect to the role still. it was an important part of the story line and helped to solidify his character as someone who really values Ren, I don't think he was fully on board. he sort of looks like he is semi-laughing. I think it's the way he cries? so maybe he instinctively did that, but corrected it when he cried with Gorya in his arms, albeit it was not perfect. but it was so raw from her, that his acting actually didn't require him to be spot on. Tu carried that and then some. 

I have been meaning to break down the classroom scene in another post, but might just use your ask as a vehicle. 

yesterday I dedicated a whole ass post about Thyme the menace™️ and you can look at it here, it contains my favourite scary / psycho moments where Bright really show cases his skills as an actor.

as for Tu. y'all she is dentistry student? and so talented? her debut role? she blew me away. please, she makes us all seem so incompetent.

Bright and Tu have a lovely chemistry, I really enjoy them together. watching their IG stories here and there and how they seem to be actual friends, is heart warming. my poor shipping heart has a hard time, first of all I ship myself with the whole cast and also the cast with each other, so you can imagine the mess I am most of the time. 

what really is nice to see with them, that none of it feels forced, their bickering, fighting, soft moments etc all seem so natural. respect. great casting. could not imagine anyone playing these two. my actual parents and babies.

ok shall we look at the classroom scene? are you up for it anon?

Gorya realises that Thyme has found the phone. He knows she lied. OK. this is important, because it paves the way for her apology about the lie, but it doesn’t quite provide her with enough context to comprehend what sort of turmoil has left him spitting fire and burning the friendship with Ren. most likely she is thinking, if I can apologise to him, if I can get him to see that this is not Ren’s fault, then he will stop. he won't destroy his friendship. I can salvage the situation between them. inadvertently, she ofc makes it worse, because to Thyme, it seems like she is on Ren’s side. 

here she attempts to save him from self-destructive mode, by doing what she does best, what others seem to be too intimated to try. she woman handles him to the classroom like he is a bad behaved child, which he is. I like that she doesn't shy away from cutting his bullshit, even after seeing him doing all of ‘that’. it’s slightly concerning for me as someone with mental health and behavioural background, because she is reinforcing his behaviour, but right now he sort of needs to and most of all wants to listen to her explain. if he did not, he would have shrugged her off. like deep down he is dying to be stopped. sadly, with trauma, those we love we push the furtherest away. but hey. 

the cinematography here is so pleasing here. pretty sure Gorya has developed migraine by this point. earlier she not only fought with Thyme, because he was being violent in the zoo, she also had a BIG moment with Ren on the roof. like the last 24 hours have been hard on her. now the once tame-ish puppy is waging a war, she got caught in. Thyme's body language really makes sense. he doesn’t want to face her. heavy breathing. tied up, both of them. unsure what will come out of this conversation. you can feel the tension even thought they are not even in the same frame or face to face. 

she mentions the R-word, almost off the bat, but he still refuses to look at her. like it’s too much. sensory overload. once she mentioned R-word for the third or the fourth time his cup runneth over. tbh from his POV she could not have said the worst thing, because he feels betrayed. not to justify. just saying it’s how he is feeling. by Ren, mostly. but also her for not trusting him that he has changed, that she lied and the lie involved Ren. and that Ren won't open up to tell him what’s wrong. that he is literally going after the one person he likes. y’all I had a crush on someone for years and my BFF made that person their boyfriend. it sucks, but when the person doesn't reciprocate...you gotta know your place. I think from Thyme’s perspective, Gorya cares. he isn't sure if she will choose him, but up until that point, he has not seen Ren as serious competition. in fact he tried his best not to play the game. he never got openly jealous about the handkerchief, never said anything about denouncing Ren. in fact he only praises Ren until that point. the one that everyone loves. so he is taken aback by the vehemence of his own feelings when it comes to both of them. it’s like he is losing them at the same time? so when she says ‘stop letting your emotions to take over’ she adds fuel to the fire and he doesn't have a break to prevent and control his impulses. it’s sad to watch tbh. he acted that rage so well. like the character is distraught, ruined with the thought that the girl he loves is rejecting him. but not just for anyone. for Ren. his BFF. it stings. doesn't excuse shit.

when she flinches at the broken chair, I feel her. I had ppl throw stuff on me (long story, work related) and your body either, fights, flights or freezes. it’s scary af. I called Thyme’s acting as wounded animal, and a flower out of bloom in my earlier posts, and I still stand by it as the most appropriate way to describe it. it’s very raw. the sheer and utter devastation. you can feel it in your chest as you watch it. no? this really changed the mood. it went from quiet & silent Thyme to absolute rampage. 

the saddest thing about this? she was trying to protect Thyme. sigh. 

we don't negotiate with terrorists. and Gorya holds her cool despite it all. 

he changed his facial expressions so fast here, I cannot detail them all. what I get from the bent shoulders and him leaning into her face is rage, yes, but also we both know, that this character needs a hug. she shakes her head gently for him to see it, and it sends him astro galactic. obvs.

Thyme actually puts his whole body into it, and shakes his fists in front of her while yelling full on in her face. has to be the most insane Thyme to date. and you know what? the way she handled her facial expressions, mixture of fear, tremor, concern and pain? incredible. she does not have any lines while he is doing this. but you know how she is feeling. he basically throws something off the table and causes more damage in that room, before he turned to her absolutely besotted with rampage and ready to strike her- which? is a lot to handle. for the viewer. tough scene. 

these three images hold a lot in them. she raises her eyes at him, through the tears, the noises he makes allow her to move her gaze, and no longer tremble in trepidation. his shaky sweater paw, that conceals a fist sort of lingers limp above his head, until he curls it to comfort himself, and it is sort of then, she understands what is happening, but ofc it is too late by that point. he cradles his head. she sees. ah. 

the first time they held eye contact without screaming or other distractions. it’s so heartbreaking to be honest. like he wrecked that room, wrecked his chances with her, too with it. I think that is why he says what he does. he knows he messed this up, that Gorya won’t stand for this violent Thyme that sets everything on fire the minute he dislikes it. it’s like. he can see for the first time how she sees him. he realises that she was scared of him, the way she was back at the beginning when they met and she was protecting Hana. it’s like nothing has changed in her eyes. he is the same. he is disappointed... exhausted. and speaks in a normal, albeit broken soft voice, those words that hurt to be spoken aloud. and what about Gorya? I think she genuinely didn't get what this was about? I mean she won't get it until she sees Tesla. her confusion lies here: is this my fault? have I mislead him? have I caused him to behave like this? but no baby you have not. she struggles to navigate this, because it is complex, they only see tip of the iceberg of where the other is coming from and this is normal in human interactions, which is how misunderstandings occur. but she did get a glimpse at his pain and something about that, the way he tries to soothe himself, his little noise, convinces her that maybe? maybe he is not a lost cause. although I do not think for one minute she was hoping to rescue HIM to be a betetr person and save him from destruction altogether, but she cares enough to intervene. that is what made him to fall in love with her. the fact she does what nobody in his life does. she fights back. she is present. she cares. her dragging him to the clasroom is her caring. got it? but she was also concerned that Ren and Thyme are falling out because of her. and that icky feeling stays with her. and now on top of that she is losing him. whatver he was. they are done. 

lord I cried here. the acting is just. wow. the softest eyes to announce the saddest words. like this is him saying the thing he never wanted to admit to himself. but it’s also his core fear of not being chosen. meanwhile my girl carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. I think they both exhausted themselves, there were so many emotions in that scene, but also the interaction changed the vibe, it went form, my GF Gorya who may or may not love me back to Gorya, the girl who loves Ren. He’s actively giving up. and I dare say it is only afterwards, that once Gorya samples life without Thyme for a few hours, she evaluates, she sees his POV, and softens. meanwhile he learns a valuable lesson about being true to his feelings, as taught by none other but Ren. this rift solidified what they both felt in the first place. his desire to change and her attachment to him rose to the surface. time and space apart sure does help hearts. anyway these two have a long way ahead and many more trials an tribulations, but we love them. 

I think Thyme as a character was left hanging in this episode because a little more nuance was needed at the end to address the classroom scene, beyond the closing of gladiator games. ideally I would have liked it if he perhaps, during the wound dressing interrupted her apology and said. yo. babe. mea culpa. 

I have been back and forth on it and I don't agree with people who say casually oh let Thyme go to therapy, or he should’ve done better. I understand his reasons and triggers. I just think the writers could have approached their reunion from a different stand point. her apology was cute, but his lost in translation. the only thing that gives me hope - Gorya denies being his gf despite the freudian slip and to me this matters. Because it says no matter what happens, I care, I will be there for you, but you are not ready to be my boyfriend. she is ready to be his girlfriend. be he needs more time. to grow. 

hope that you liked this anon. I sort of run with it.

okay so i just finished all three seasons of nine realms and... i have some thoughts

(this will have spoilers so continue reading at your own risk)

contrary to most people i didn't hate hidden world. was it my favourite? no. but do i vehemently hate it? also no.

nine realms essentially flies blatantly in the face of the premise of hidden world, which is that until the world became ready, dragons would continue to hide. we even see the Haddocks kind of checking in on Toothless et al at the end.

it would then stand to reason that at least the Haddock clan if not the other core riders (or even Berkians as a whole) would continue monitoring this situation and in 1300 freaking years would have, at some point, decided it might be okay for them to come out of hiding and, you know, actually feel the damn wind again.

at least we have some measure of proof about the Haddocks continuing to check in on the dragons through all the stuff they've discovered with and without the strike class symbol on it.

anyway, that was my problem with the premise.

other Thoughts™️ i had (both good and bad):

i didn't like the character art but i knew that going in thanks to the trailer; i just watched it because httyd

thunder's design puts me off and i also really hate his name

feathers' design is wonderful and needs no changes

i hate eugene with everything in me and i don't care that he's on his way to a semi redemption i will continue to hate him for the rest of time

he's like snotlout but without any of the qualities that made snotlout good/redeemable

a criticism that nine realms shares with rtte et al is that perspective seems to be a matter of convenience

it's a little hard to get a handle on how big/small dragons are when their depiction keeps changing

communicative ability between dragons and humans also seems to consistently be a point of convenience across httyd products

i thought it was kind of cool to see which dragons continued to evolve (like the skrill descendant) and which ones didn't (like grockles or monstrous nightmares)

love the fact that the ickle little terrible terrors seem to be at the peak of their evolution

i also liked seeing new dragons and theorising about possible ancestors and how that one might have come into being

the naming of dragon species in this show felt lazy

not only the actual names, but there was no naming process, no back and forth, no "this is what we're gonna call it", nothing - someone just came up with a name and everyone rolled with it as if everyone already knew that that was what those dragons are called

i quite liked most of the new dragon designs though

how do we still have razorwhip-like dragons if there are no more wingmaidens?? wouldn't they have gone extinct?

(before someone says that they might be real, we just haven't seen them yet - if they saw other humans walking around, they would have definitely at least been hinted at)

i don't understand why these different realms broke out in the first place? we saw gronckles, monstrous nightmares, nadders, and more living together in the wild multiple times but now they seem to have separated?

why were the gronckles eating the quaken eggs?? they're meant to be living in symbiotic harmony

if Toothless and the light fury were the leaders of the hidden world at the end of that movie, how come Thunder is now suddenly displaced? would it not have made sense for their family to have continued leading?

speaking of their family though, if there were no other furies, does that mean they're all incest babies?

and how come there doesn't seem to be a leading tribe anymore? everything down there is just like the wild, and not like we left it

(actually that might make sense; like things returning to the wild after over a millennia)

i did not like the saddles

how come we don't see that much vegetation in any realm?

alex is my absoluteeee favourite

i miss the intense soundtracks

i feel like it might have "cheapened" the memory if they used first flight, but i also think i would have really loved seeing it used again

eugene's dragon, webmaster, is disgusting i'm sorry

buzzsaw really really really annoys me and i can't wait to see him be eaten

i liked the fault ripper arc, esp the heightened link between Tom and Hiccup that that brought out

i hated s1 and 2 Jun but s3!Jun can stay

it's kind of amusing to know that the shield they found is obviously gronckle iron but there's no way these guys would ever be able to discover that

i was reallyyyyy hoping for a lil "thank you for nothing, you useless reptile" when Jun had her first ride atop Thunder

all in all, i know i've spent most of this trashing on the show, but i still liked it on the whole. i probably wouldn't actively recommend it like i do rtte/rob/dob, but i will be watching the new season for sure.

(although if i'm being honest i think i just really really love httyd and dragons in general and so am predisposed to liking anything set in the universe and anything that shows this kind of a human-dragon relationship. sidenote: if anyone has recs for similar stuff please gimme.)

okay but kate’s eyebrow raise at the very end of the last gif as she and lucy are walking away is possibly my favourite whistler facial expression™ it’s just.. so good. very entertaining and a little bit funny. she’s just.. bemused and just slightly entertained with the way lucy responded to the situation it seems

though it’s not as funny as lucy actually saying “totally awesome” in response to jane. fantastic choice of words. not as smooth under stress as i’d expected at the start of the series but is very her now

That whole scene is A Masterpiece™️. Jane’s facial expressions (shoutout to Vanessa’s eyebrow work) to both of them being like, “who, us?“ to Whistler’s “oh, she does mean us” to Lucy’s “totally awesome”, the whole scene plays out beautifully. And you can’t tell me that Whistler doesn’t know how much of a dork Lucy is. She’s had a front row seat to how much of one Lucy has been and I love that it comes out like this - and that we see it again with the Gay Panic. I love these sides of Lucy. She doesn’t need to be suave all the time. She’s really just a… dork at heart.

Prompt:

34. Returned from the dead kiss 

Character: Fred Weasley x Fem!Reader

Fandom: Harry Potter

Word Count: 1.8k

A/n: I am so sorry this took so long, but I was definitely due to write something for one of our favourite Weasley’s! This is dedicated to all of you who, like me, are heartbroken by Fred’s death. Freddie did not deserve to die and I firmly believe that in canon...It. Did. Not. Happen.Also just as a disclaimer, this gif is not mine! Credit goes to the creator. (Finding Fred gifs is just so hard....) In addition, this prompt definitely brings me into the percy weasley defence club™️....My boy deserved so much more 🥺

It all happened so fast....you’re not sure you’ve even registered it. One moment you’re standing next to Fred as he speaks with Percy, war raging on around the three of you, and the next, Fred is pushing you out of the way, debris crashing to the concrete floors.

The last thing you hear is Percy screaming. It’s raw...sharp, something that’s etched and seared into your mind for eternity. You can’t see what’s happening, you can’t move, hitting the ground with such force. But you don’t need to see what’s happening to know what Fred has done for you. The pain in Percy’s voice is enough to know, it’s enough to tell you just what’s happened.

Minutes pass, but you don’t seem to realize. There’s a ringing in your ears, muffled voices surrounding you. You don’t remember when you’d made it into the great hall. You don’t remember anything since Fred.....since he saved you. And all you can focus on is his body. Your heart lurches at the sight of him. He’d been laughing when it’d happened. He’d told a joke....tried so hard to lighten the mood in the room, to make you all feel more comfortable. And looking at him now, you can see it...just how hard he tried. His last laugh etched onto his face.

“(Y/n).” Percy’s voice is like static trying to cut through the transmission of your brain waves. You almost don’t hear him.

You turn your head gently, craning your neck to take in Percy’s full height. He’s taller than you once thought, and yet, in this moment, you can tell just how much he doesn’t feel that way. He feels small...and lost. “Perce.”

Nobody has called him Perce in months. Since his falling out with his family, the use of any sort of pleasantries has been rare for him. But then again, you’d always been different. No one knew that better than Fred. He grimaces thinking about his younger brother but sends you a weak smile nonetheless.

“It’s doesn’t feel real to me.” He says.

“It shouldn’t be real.”

Your words cut through Percy like a knife. “You can’t possibly mean...”

“It should’ve been me Perce.” Your voice cracks. You hadn’t allowed yourself to cry yet, refusing to believe the reality of the situation. “If he hadn’t have pushed me out of the way, it would’ve been me, and he’d still be alive!”

The vivid sound of your voice brings the stares of the rest of the Weasley family. Tears cascade down their faces as they gaze at you and Percy. Neither of you notice the attention you’ve brought to yourselves, lost in the heat of the moment.

“Don’t say that.” He pleads.

Frustration grips at your heart. “Tell me I’m wrong Percy. Tell me that he wouldn’t still be here if he hadn’t decided my life was more important than his.” Desperation is all the Weasley’s can hear from you. “Can you tell me that Percy?”

Percy’s head lowers, and he refuses to look you in the eyes. “No.” He admits. And suddenly, everything feels real.

//////////

Fred doesn't feel right. He knows this isn't right. His eyes open to a blindingly white train station. And as strange as it seems, the walls don’t look like walls....they simply go on forever. The platform he stands on is solid, as he takes a few steps forward. Although he feels like he’s floating. He glances down at his hands, trying to grasp whether this is real. Where am I?

A familiar figure sits just feet away, his long cloak and snow white beard a dead give away to his identity. “Professor Dumbledore?” He asks.

The old wizard merely nods his head, granting Fred to take a seat next to him. “Sit Mr. Weasley.” He beckons. “I’m certain you have some questions for me.”

“You could say that again.” Fred jokes, letting out a chuckle. He’s not sure whether humour amuses his former headmaster, but it certainly eases his nerves slightly.

“Trying to ease the tension I see.” Dumbldore implores curiously. He’d always been fascinated by the twin’s compulsion to hide their feelings behind humour and pranks.

Fred nods. “I guess it just felt natural.”

“Hmm.” He hums. “Is there anything you wish to ask me Mr. Weasley?”

Fred supposes he has so many questions for his former headmaster. It’s almost overwhelming how many thoughts spark in his mind, each one desperate to be spoken. But he takes a moment to think, and decides upon asking the most simple, most pressing, and most direction question he can think of.

“Where am I?” The young wizard delves. The last thing he remembers is being at Hogwarts, fighting against Voldemort’s army with his family....with you. This place is certainly not Hogwarts.

“Nowhere particular.” Dumbledore evades.

“What am I doing here?” Fred asks.

“Not entirely sure.” Dumbledore replies, and Fred can feel his anxiety rise. Why would Dumbledore want him to ask questions, if he doesn’t know the answer to any of them?

Fred’s eyes search those of the wizard before him. “Am I dead?” There’s a flicker of something....and....Bingo. He’s asked the right question. Fred can sense the recognition in Dumbledore’s spirit.

A smile creeps onto his face, and he rakes his free hand through his beard. “No.”

So that means I can get back to them, he thinks. “How do I get back to my family?” He asks him.

Dumbledore retorts with a question. “Do you want to go back?”

“Yes.” Fred pleads.

“How much Mr. Weasley?” The smile on the professor’s face grows and Fred can’t help but feel like he’s being tested.

He doesn’t take the time to think about it, impulses taking over. “More than anything I’ve ever wanted before.”

Dumbledore stands, turning his body so his back is facing Fred. He begins walking into an endless sea of white. “Then you shall go back.” He says as if it’s the simplest thing in the world.

Fred almost misses it. His words are spoken so softly, he almost doesn’t hear it...before his world fades and everything that was previously and glaringly white....suddenly goes black.

//////////

You never thought someone gasping for air could make your heart soar with happiness. But it does. It’s unexpected and rapid, bringing shock to each face that surrounds Fred’s body.

Somehow, he’s alive.

He flings his body upward, heaving, as sputtering coughs rake his lungs. Fred feels as air fills his lungs, life being restored to him. His eyes open slowly, as if he’s afraid this is all a dream. But when he sees his family, when he sees you with tears in your eyes, he knows that this is real.

“Freddie?” George’s voice cuts through the shock. He’s the closest to Fred, and no one challenges him to be the first to speak. Each of you know that Fred’s relationship with George will always trump everything.

Fred lays there for a moment, a smile finding its way onto his face. Despite just being revived, strangly he feels stronger than he ever has before. “Who’s the holy one now?” He jokes with George, hoping his twin will understand the reference.

George laughs, a mixture of relief and euphoria. His twin is alive. And he’s making jokes. “I’m really not too sure.” He jests playfully.

Whether it’s the time or the place to be humorous, Fred and George don’t care. They’re just relishing in each other, and that brings a smile to your face. Things are going to be okay.

“Mate,” Fred drags the word on his tongue. “I just came back from the dead. I’d say that’s bloody holy.”

“Yeah yeah.” George has never believed in God, but now he’s not so sure. “Whatever you say.”

You stand back, watching as each of his brothers greet him and hug him. You watch Ginny fling herself onto him, before Molly and Arthur rush to embrace their son. Percy is the first to join you, once he’s spoken with Fred.

“You know it’s not your fault right?” He asks.

“No. But he’s alive,” you begin, “and I can’t dwell on the blame game, wondering what if....It’ll drive me mad.”

Percy’s eyes meet yours, an empathy in them that’s so pure and genuine. “You’re the one he truly wants to see.” He says quietly. You blink as he gestures his arm forward. “Go.” He pushes. “Go see him.”

You nod at him, turning your body to face Fred. He’s standing now, a new laugh etched upon his face...one that in contrast to before, is the easiest thing to look at. In a split second, your eyes lock and your world stops. Fred Weasley, your Fred Weasley, the one you love with all your heart, risked his life to save you, and he’s alive.

He whispers something in Ron’s ear and before you know it, he’s making his way over to you. Is this real? You have to ask yourself countless times just to be sure.

He doesn’t give you any time before he’s pulling you in for a searing kiss. It’s unexpected and bold...but it’s so characteristically Fred. You quickly adjust to the shock, leaning in to his touch. Your lips move against his like it’s the last time you’ll ever be able to kiss him. Desperation....relief....passion....love....all bound into your embrace. It radiates from the two of you in waves.

You’re positively breathless when he pulls away. And so is he. You lost him....he had died. And now he’s here, so real and so perfect.

“Please don’t do that again.” You beg. He gives you a confused look before you continue. “Don’t you ever value my life above your own. You mean too much to too many people to be risking your life for me.”

“I would do it again.” He states and you can tell he’s more than serious. “Because I love you more than I’ve ever loved anyone in my life. Because to me, your life is more important than my own.”

“Then you must expect the same from me Fred.” You say. “I would risk absolutely everything for you. But I don’t want to put you in the position where you’re forced to live without me....Merlin knows I could never live without you.”

Fred lets out a breathy laugh. “I don’t plan on dying again anytime soon love.”

“Good.” You place your hand in his. “Because if you pull a boneheaded move like that again...I’ll kill you myself Fred Weasley.”

Comfort engulfs you’re body as you and Fred embrace. It’s like a weight has been lifted off both of your shoulders, and for the first time since the threat of a looming war, you feel happy. You’re full of hope.

Fred breathes in with a chuckle. “That’s my girl.”
