laser tag!
kim woonhak x reader
a silly laser tag date with bf!woonhak, turns into a cheeky first kiss. fluffy cuteness, slight betrayal (in a silly way) :3 lowercase intended, excuse any grammar or spelling errors! this is kinda messy but enjoyy
wc: 1,383
āą±Øą§Ėā”Ė
"your first kiss was during...laser tag?!"
okay, maybe to the untrained eye this wasn't the most ideal scenario. romantics might argue that the first kiss should be special, warm, filled to the brim with roses upon a candlelight dinner and - well, not in the middle of an intense laser tag match.
to young and naive lovers like kim woonhak and yn ln however, this was just the right time and place for such a thing. i mean, what's more romantic than a gruesome battle in an awfully humid indoor space, accompanied by extremely cheap plastic guns?
exactly, nothing.
"i'm gonna get you, yn!" woonhak yelled as he ran across the room. he held onto the laser gun tightly, a bright blue circle at the centre of his plastic armour - it glowed, indicating he hadn't been defeated yet. he follows his girlfriend, chasing after the glowing red on her own suit.
"oh yeah? we'll see about that!" yn retaliates, a giggle escaping her gloss stained lips as she skips through the maze-like battlefield. she doesn't stop running, and he doesn't stop chasing; they had seemingly forgotten of the other players, bending the rules of the game to focus solely on each other - as if it were a one on one match.
"hah! got ya!"
the boy's teeth peeked through as he grinned. he had successfully cornered the girl at a dead end, now it really was a one on one fight. "you gonna shoot me or what?" she asked, her weapon locked and loaded, pointed at him and ready to go. he was in the same position, an eye squinted as if he were trying to get a better aim. "aren't you?" he asks as they begin to rotate in a circle, covering the area of the small grounds they stood in.
"how many more shoots do you have left?" woonhak inquires, his head tilts to one side when he asks but the rest of his body stays alert - there was no room for distraction. "i'm not falling for that, you're gonna shoot me while i check...child's play" yn replies, scoffing at her boyfriend's dirty tactics. she has this smile on her face, it's smug and somewhat annoying, but something about it made his stomach turn (in a good way) and he couldn't help but break character for a moment, letting his guard down.
bad idea.
"FUCK!" yn cursed almost way too loudly - especially at a place dominated by children. woonhak laughs manically, in a split second he had managed to dodge her shot. "HAH! i'd like to see you try that again" he snickers, watching her face as her eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed. his own expression changes quickly however, when she lifts her gun up to point at him again, right at his chest.
"kim woonhak, consider yourself...dead?"
fuck.
"looks like someone's out of shots..." the boy smirks, watching as a look of shock washes over her complexion. "this is seriously so unfair" she whines, dropping the, now useless, gun onto the floor. yn frowns when woonhak begins to walk towards her. she steps back each time he comes closer but this method only worked for as long as she didn't come into straight contact with the plush foam walls - which, obviously, she did.
"woonhak, babe, don't do it...spare me!"
he laughs again, the same manic laugh as before, as if he could already feel the glory of victory reeling in. he fully corners her this time, her back against the wall and one of his palms pressed onto the surface right beside her head, caging her in so that there was no escape.
yn sighs, she's about to give up. i mean, there really isn't any other way to win...unless of course if she could stall him long enough for the time to run out. but how? if there's anything about kim woonhak that anyone should know it's that he's dead serious about games like this, nothing in the world could distract him - well, maybe a true loves kiss but where would yn ln find a true loves kiss at a time like this? hey that rhymed, also! yn you idiot, you're the true loves kiss!
"what are you thinking so hard about right now?" his words pull her out of the short trance she was in. observant as ever, the boy caught on immediately to the smirk that played against her lips. "what are you plotting, yn?" he sounded almost nervous.
"aren't you gonna shoot me?"
he chuckles, "i'm savouring it. gonna wait till the very last minute", she raises a brow, "what if you don't make it on time?" and he rolls his eyes, "with you weaponless and cornered, no one else around, and the clear shot i have? fat chance" she sighs, "fine then..."
"you can't say i didn't warn you then"
before the boy could even try to question her odd statement, he was pulled forward by the two hands she had hooked between the straps of his armour. in a matter of seconds, kim woonhak had gone from feeling rather victorious to losing himself in his girlfriend's mouth.
not that he was complaining though, he's been waiting for this moment to happen since the very moment they started dating about two and a half weeks ago - he just never thought it'd be at laser tag that he'd get his very first kiss from her. again, not complaining though.
the kiss was simple. distracting, sure, but for the most part it was simple; sweet and passionate - maybe a little sloppy, but what would you expect of two amateur teenage kissers?
kim woonhak was on cloud nine! i mean, he's got the love of his life - namely, yn ln - locked on his lips, his hands in his hair and everything, and on top of that, his laser tag victory was just inches away...at the edge of his finger tips, literally. nothing could go wrong now...nothing in the whole wide world could ever ruin this moment in any way...nothing could-
'shots fired! player freshboy has been defeated! congratulations red team you win!'
"huh...?"
woonhak's face went pale as the speaker intercom voice filled his ears, he finally pulls away from the kiss, "what...?" his confusion is answered when yn laughs from her spot in front of him. his eyes widen at the sight of his girlfriend, pretty - as always - but something was different. why was she armed? her weapon was gone minutes ago! and where did his weapon go? what...
"got ya!"
he couldn't believe it. about a billion thoughts raced through his mind as he watched his girlfriend cheer with glee - cheer in glory of her victory, the victory that was meant to be his. but amongst all these thoughts only one read clear in the very center of his head, in big and bold letters, in a colour so brightly red, a singular word floating with a background of fire:
betrayal.
"aw woonagi don't be upset, it's not the end of the world!" yn giggles at the large pout on his face as they return the plastic suits and weapons to the counter. "yeah it is, my girlfriend totally betrayed me! worse! she distracted me with a secret weapon! that's totally against the rules and so very unfair and i think that-" woonhak didn't finish - or rather, he couldn't finish. his words all swallowed up by her lips that attached themselves onto his again.
once more, she laughs at his bewildered face. "you're so adorable, hakie. now let's go, dinner is on you remember, loser" he frowns again, but wraps an arm around her, pulling her close to kiss the top of her head. her nose scrunches at the contact and she tumbles to side a bit, walking lopsided as a result of their difference in height.
"you're so lucky i love you, yn"
they went to dinner after that, on woonhak's latest pay check from his part-time job. then when they parted that night, neither of the pair could fall asleep; lost in space as images of their spontaneous first kiss flashed against the stars. the rest was history, a story to be told over and over again until everyone and their mother's got sick of it.
"so yeah...we did have our first kiss at laser tag"
the end.

Hello! Would you do how Anselm, Nathan and the Moon Boys handle/be with a person with tremors/general shakiness? No rush!
Of course, I hope I did this justice! <3
Tremors
Multiple Oscar Isaac Characters x gn!Reader ā¢ Rating:Ā 18 + palsĀ Masterlistā¢Ā ao3ā¢Ā want to be tagged? | request info ā¢ buy me a coffee? ā¢ ask-travaganza masterlist ā¢
Warnings: Fluff, mention of sexy times, mention of murder (Anselm's gotta shoot someone), not beta read, please let me know if I have missed a warning!
Word Count:Ā 509
---------------------------------------
Steven Grant
Researches and then does lots of different relaxation techniques with you to see if any of them help reduce the shaking.
Literally becomes a walking encyclopaedia of information on the subject.
Will loudly dress down anyone who dares to say anything rude.
āRelaxing is meant to help, love, yeah?ā Then proceeds to make you come against his mouth until you beg him to stop.
Tells you he loves you and kisses the area/s that are shaking.
Marc Spector
Marcās the king of acts of service, he just wants to be helpful. If the tremors are getting too much for you he would quietly offer to help, whether itās dressing, writing, cooking, whatever you need. But will always ask first. He doesnāt want to baby you or be over the top.
Goes to any doctorās appointments and listens quietly. He makes notes for you so that you can refer to them later. Will only speak if it seems like the doctor is talking over you/not taking you seriously.
Gives you a massage to help relax you.
Tuts at Steven for overstimulating you with oral sex, then gets you to cockwarm him until you feel like jelly.
Jake Lockley
Holds your hands, a lot. Especially if you get self-conscious about any shaking.Ā
Will definitely joke about you wrapping your fingers around his dick when the tremors are bad to make you smile and tut at him.
āAmor, maybe I should fuck you until youāre shaking from exhaustion instead?āĀ
You giggle but he gets an earful from Marc about his lackluster jokes.Ā
Fucks you into the mattress until youāre too blissed out to care about anything.
Nathan Bateman
Spends days designing equipment to help you. Depending on what causes the tremors affects what heās going to do, whether itās something for you to wear that helps with the shaking or just tools that will counteract the movement, or a mixture of both.
Never mentions it until you bring it up first.
Likes to hold you and wrap his arms around you. You apologised once for your shaking and how it must be disturbing him.
He told you how much he actually liked it, āfeels like a massage chair.ā Heād teased, but you realised he was so hopelessly in love with you that he finds absolutely everything about you to be attractive.Ā
Doesnāt bring up the idea of intimacy to help relax you first, but once you do heās quick to ask every time after.
Anselm Vogelweide
Very gentle. Whatever you need youāre getting. And if anyone even says something that remotely upsets you, theyāre getting shot.Ā
Flies in every specialist to help.
Threatens to burn anything/anyone to cinders who causes you any stress.
Some shaking started/increased once when an associate raised his voice once and you thought he was going to pull out the manās eyes and shove them up his ass.
With your permission, he likes to tie you up and fuck you senseless. āSee, my love? No shaking when youāre bound up so beautifully.āĀ

As someone who's been in multiple fandom circles and calls themselves a Splatoon fan, I've seen a lot of focus and discussion on "THE LORE!!" and "CANON!!!" and to be honest with you... it's getting really tiring and I think people are just WAY TOO obsessed with what a wiki or an intern at Nintendo says rather than forming their own perspective on events and coming to their own unique conclusions.
Now, I wanna say, if talking about lore and discussing which elements are canon or not makes you happy and you love talking about that, then that's perfectly okay. It's fine. It's not for ME personally because my focus on Splatoon is the gameplay, music and the storytelling chops of each Hero Mode.
Story >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Canon for me any day of the week i do not care.
Because, to get away from Splatoon for a second, for my Sonic fans out there, you remember when Sega and the people behind the show Sonic Prime said that it was canon to the mainline Sonic timeline? And if you said otherwise you were technically wrong because "oh Sega said this, so it MUST be true!"
........But then everyone said that Sonic Prime cannot be canon to the mainline Sonic timeline because it has a fuck ton of inconsistencies? Yeah.... funny. Basically, don't put a lot of focus into "what actually happened" and "oh this is what the multi billion dollar corporation said!" because there's always gonna be one guy out there that goes "um this information kinda fucking damages the story in a severe way." (And sometimes that one guy is me.... hehehehe....)
I could obviously talk about.... you know.... Hypno Callie again for the 50th trillion time.... (and i will)..... This bitch.... I wanna love you girlie i really fucking do but Nintendo and millions of people make it hard to....
Nintendo set up Callie's villain arc decently in Splatoon 1 with the Splatfest dialogue, the Squid Sister stories and the Sunken Scrolls, yet they ultimately damaged the progression of the arc by saying "nah fuck u she got kidnapped and brainwashed, removing all of her memories and free will because fuck telling a good story with satisfying set up and pay off that allows for character growth. Fundamentals of storytelling? What are those?" And it also destroyed Callie as a character by reducing her to an object that the player "must save from da evil Octavioooo" and "oh look at her! She put the stupid brainwashing shades onnn againnn!! such a dumb fucking moron dumbass piece of shit right guys?!? lmaoooooooooo!! explore the dangers of addiction and how you need to seriously change your life and be surrounded by those you love in order to change bad habits?? Themes?? PFFTTT! NAWWW! THAT'S LAMEEEE!! It's Callie! No one cares about Callie!! She's stupiddd!!!"
(I talked about Callie in a tumblr comment section one time and I got made fun of for by a guy way older than me. I love humanity.)
It also ruined DJ Octavio's character too because, if what Nintendo said is true about what he did then he cannot be redeemed in Splatoon 3. He cannot go back on the shit he's done. But they try to redeem him out of nowhere and now he's all chill with the New Squidbeak Splatoon and appeared in the Grand Fest.... Yet what he did to Callie which Nintendo loves to push is truly TRULY unredeemable and if that's the case then welp.... I call that bad writing, straight up. It's bad writing.
I really hate it when something happens in a story and you perceive it in a certain way where you feel like it elevates the events, but then the company behind the story chooses to pick the worst outcomes possible just because? And everyone rolls with it just cause? Ugh...
Lesson of today is, don't fucking listen obsessively to what a company says and suck it up. Consume media and come to your own conclusions on what happened. As long as you have tangible evidence to back up your claims you can make any interpretation you want to, whatever makes you feel happy bestie!

Having āsleptā (slept for 2 hour intervals the entire night because this episode made me feverish and gave me a constant urge to vomit) on it, I can firmly say that this is one of the stupidest fucking decisions 9-1-1 has ever made. This is on par with Hen spending a whole season studying to be a doctor only to drop it right at the finish line and The Lucy Kiss.
At the very least, you knew ā you had a gut feeling ā that they wouldnāt give up on Paramedic!Hen. You knew in your soul that Buck and Taylor were already doomed and the Lucy Kiss just broke the camelās back.
But this?
Buck and Tommy were good. They were on track to say their āI love youāās and have actually new storylines. During the breakup scene, at no point during or before the actual breakup did I think a breakup was even a possibility. While I was texting a friend during the episode, I said the following, which I think sums up most of our thoughts:
They had a whole new character set up, that had interesting dynamics with the existing cast and insecurities that could be proven wrong, especially by Buck. What was the point of bringing up Tommyās ālackā of daddy issues? What was the point of the group chat scene and his yearning for a family if youāre not going to commit to it? Instead, they finally made Tommy a plot device, and they did it by putting out a scene thatās the equivalent of shooting someone with a sniper rifle from five miles away.
The worst part is: This breakup is fucking out of character. Iām aware thatā¦ certain people thought Tommy and Eddie were out of character last episode, but this is what an out of character interaction looks like.
Tommy, since being reintroduced, has been established as a fantastic communicator. The only reason he and Buck ever got together in the first place was because Tommy came to Buckās loft to clear the air in 7x04. He makes it clear during the coffee date why he ended their first date. Heās the one who initiates the dinner conversation in 7x10 and gets Buck to open up about his fears of losing Bobby.
So. Why in the EVER LOVING FUCK was he silent about seeing their relationship as a short term one? Completely ignoring the Henren deleted scene where he says heās going at Buckās pace, that scene is now firmly non-canon, Season 7 Tommy would have NEVER led Buck on like that. Hell, 8x01 and 8x05 Tommy would have never led Buck on like that.
The Tommy shown in the finalā¦ what, seven minutes of 8x06? Wouldnāt have accepted Buckās invitation to Madneyās wedding. His job was done! He got Buck to ādiscover his sexuality.ā
This entire episode felt like a slap in the face to the people who are invested in this relationship, it feels like a slap in the face to Lou, who was excited about Tommy and this storyline, it feels like a slap in the face to the general audience, because there were no obvious indications that a breakup was ANYWHERE near Bucktommyās future.
I very sincerely hope that this is either a temporary break up, or the reaction from the GA and fandom gives the team input that they massively fucked up here and they pivot the storyline over the course of the midseason break.
As for me? I donāt think Iāll be watching the series live anymore. I might catch up on the series once it goes on itās midseason break, but right now? I justā¦ I canāt. I canāt put any more energy into a show that clearly doesnāt care about progressing their character. (Seriously, what the fuck, Oliver?)
This week has been awful from start to finish.

Badly made comic of And So The Moon Wept bc it just finished and Iām devastated
ā¼ļøCHAPTER 15 SPOILERSā¼ļø
I wanted to make one more page between the second and third bc pacing, but I didnāt wanna rethink all three of those pagesā compositions. Itās pretty ass bc itās all sketches, but the last ones came out pretty decent I thinkš
(Donāt look at the house too closely, I really didnāt wanna look at a reference so I just freestyled it)
Scrapped versions bc idk
Now that thatās out the way, Iāll start with the ranting, you can leave now this is for me
THE ENDINGāļø DAMNāļøāļøāļø
I would start rereading immediately to see all the details and analyze the psychology of the ātsukuyomi worldā characters BUT I unfortunately have my global exams next week š„²
Warning for -1000 media literacyā¼ļø while writing all this I remembered that my memory is bad an my analytical skills are even worse! So be warned :p
BUT ANYWAY!! This was a top tear fanfic, seriously at no point did I consider the infinite tsukuyomi as a possibility. And I think this has to do with the fact that the psychology and individual lives of the characters in this dream were so well developed. Thereās so many POVs! And theyāre so complex and detailed!! Really makes you wonder if this was really the tsukuyomi or if Kakashiās consciousness was sent to a different world all together. Which is what makes it so terribly tragic. Kakashi lived so many years in this perfect world just to regain all his memories and find out that it really was all fake, a world made up entirely of his own fantasies.
Oh and what a fantasy it was, getting hit by that boulder and fucking dying! The only reason he got to live was bc of āHoundā (which could be interpreted as his consciousness telling him to wake tf up). Everything felt so wrong to Kakashi not because he noticed this things werenāt right, but bc he was never meant to live in this world. This was the prefect reality for everyone around him, his dream, a world without him (FUCK BROšššš). Which is the reason why I think the characters are so three dimensional in this dream, maybe, idk bro I just made this up.
But even then, things donāt exactly add up (if you think about it they do BUT SHHHHHH LET ME DREAM). Why did some characters suffer so much if this was meant to be a better world for everyone else? Why did Rinās parentās die? Why did Sakumo try suicide so many times?
We know Rinās and Obitoās relationship started declining when Rin didnāt believe Obito when he swore up and down that Kakashi was somehow alive (which IS Houndās fault in a way, he saved Kakashi and thatās why Obito saw Kakashi sinking into the ground, making him believe that Kakashi didnāt die), but it goes farther than that. Rinās real problem with Obito was that he was so stuck on his dead teammate that he neglected the rest of his living team, Kakashi was literally everything he thought about to the point it started negatively affecting others (which, yeah him being obsessed is pretty normal considering that Kakashi was part of the reason he activated his sharingan and THE reason he activated the Mangekyo). So what did he do? Go hang out with the one other person who would ALSO only think of Kakashi all day, Sakumo. Obito eventually accepted that Kakashi was dead, but he and Rin never reconnected.
Was this really the perfect ending for them? Come on tsukuyomi, youāre more creative than that.
For some reason I think that the tsukuyomi was freestyling all this. Bc (by my interpretation) the point of Kakashiās dream was that he died at Kannabi Bridge instead of Obito, period. The rest is extra stuff bc their lives have to go on ig? Or maybe the infinite tsukuyomi is really big brained and depicted a realistic depiction of šļøšļøšļøHOLD THE FUCK UP IāM DUMB I JUST FIGURED SMTH OUT
Bro this is why I need to reread this instead of talking to myself when I donāt remember half the details in the fic.
OK SO HOUND DID FUCK SHIT UPš„š„š„
I was trying to think why Sakumo would be alive (if my shit theory above was true, which it isnāt but Iām not deleting all that) AND IT WAS BC SAKUMO NOT KILLING HIMSELF IS HIS PERFECT WORLD šššš. The one thing Iām not so sure ab is Kannabi (I bet if I keep writing this Iāll find the answer) bc Obito WAS gonna get hit by that rock, but hey, he entered the dream after the Obito reveal so maybe his consciousness already knew he would survive, so maybe heād just appear later in the dream idk. BUT BRO šššššššššš WAS HE ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO COME BACK HOME TO HIS DAD??? AND THEN HIS CONSCIOUSNESS KICKED IN AND HE SAVED OBITO INSTEAD??!!,.. oh Iām sick, this is so evil
That would literally make everything make sense. He derailed the dream so bad that it fucked everything up, making it no longer a perfect world but more similar to reality. If he really was supposed to die, then why did his death have such negative repercussions on everyone he loves? It that was his dream, wouldnāt it be a better world with everybody happy? He wasnāt supposed to die at Kannabi but Hound appeared and saved Obito from a rock, causing a massive butterfly effect.
Pretty romantic if you asked me, āI would leave behind my perfect world just to save you form getting hurtā like damn, itās not like he remembered that Obito survived at this point in time, but still STOPP IāM DOING IT AGAIN IāM FOCUSING ON THE DETAILS AND NOT THE BIGGER PICTURE AAAA
El cazador de elefantes by Def Con Dos is a pretty good song, hm
Where was I going with this? Donāt remember tbh
This is kinda long, Iām stopping here. Bye internet void āļø
#and so the moon wept#astmw#kakashi hatake#obkk#kakaobi#kkob#obikaka#obito uchiha#fic rec#bro imagine this wasnāt tsukuyomi but Kakashiās consciousness really was sent to another reality#obito salty bc itās midnight and they have a mission tomorrow: wtf do you mean what colour is the moon#kakashi stressed bc he just regained all his memories and all these years mightāve not been real: just respond bro#obito being sarcastic: well obviously itās red! šš#and then kakashi fucking dies#it would be so funny actually#oh YOUR kakashiās dead#ours is just fine over there#points at the most depressed man alive#the reading comprehension devil got me bro#dw I just need a few days to think all the story over#iām just too excited now that itās over and am focusing too much on details#and many of the details I donāt remember yet bc my memory is ass

Okay listen, I get that I have little experience in the 9-1-1 fandom, but what in the actual hell is the weird response to the bucktommy breakup? It was never this weird with other love interest breakups right? Of Buckās love interests, Abby and Taylor were the only ones developed enough to warrant any sort of strong reaction. Tommy had no development.
Seriously. What did we know about him?:
Heās gay. Heās a pilot. He has a history of sexism and racism. He likes basketball and Muay Thai. Andā¦.? We saw nothing of his personal life, we saw little of his personality, and we didnāt see him and Buck actually power through any obstacles. Because that was the point, he was a plot device. It was painfully obvious he wasnāt going to be a lasting love interestā¦was it not? I donāt mean how little he was developed (because obviously that dev couldāve been done), but because of how HEAVILY Eddie haunted the narrative. Bucktommyās first kiss genuinely shocked the hell out of me and my casual viewer sis-in-law because both of us felt it was obvious that Buck was trying to get Eddieās attention. (seriously, that whole scene with Eddie on the phone in the firehouse and Buck peacocking to try and get Eddieās attentionā¦That was fucking obvious. I got a bruise from how hard that smacked me in the face.)
I realize Iām a buddie shipper so I am biased, but Iām a buddie shipper BECAUSE that is what the narrative has led me to. However, when Tommy was reintroduced, I made an actual effort to like him. I tried not to engage with the Buddie majority that hated him because I wanted to see if my mind could be changed, and ya know what? All it did was make me believe that thereās literally nobody else that they can end up with. Whether it was accidental on the writerās part or purposeful, Buck and Eddie have been written into a romantic corner with only one way out, and thatās through each other. (Unless they somehow introduce two love interests that can beat a 7-season long slow burn friends-to-lovers with insanely good late bloomer queer representation. lol.)
Iām genuinely trying to understand though. How are people going this insane over Tommy? What exactly did he do that was so fantastic and amazing that he deserved undying loyalty? The kind of loyalty that sparks people to write weird fucking messages on Oliverās instagram about him being biphobic(???????) and then making jokes about deporting him and Ryan. What the fuck.
I could maybe understand the outrage if it was a character who was well developed and beautifully written (like Chimney or Hen), and I could even see it if it was a beloved side character (like Ravi or May), but. seriously. Tommy?
Anyway, normally I would say āeh who am I to judge what people get attached to?ā But in this case I am a little bit judgmental.
#ooh is this gonna get me blocked? was I too mean?#I started this off trying not to be aggressive but I think by the end I was still aggressive#oops#I donāt fucking play about biphobia though#and Oliver has been NOTHING but respectful about queer rep#yall are freaking out over a boringggg plot device character PLEASE be serious#911 abc#911#buddie#anti bucktommy#rant post

worst trope is found family separating as soon as the antagonist is dealt with.
#yes this is about voltron and it's also about guardians of the galaxy#what james gunn did to gamora in GOTG3 is criminal#i understand why they did it but to end with her GOING BACK TO THE RAVAGERS?#fail end.#seriously#and it doesnt even make sense bc ofc the high evolutionary isnt going to be the last problem they would deal with#in just a few years they encountered 5 people trying to destroy the universe and who were incredibly difficult foes#youre finna tell me there will never be a situation like that for the rest of their lives?#gtfo#and mantis' end was dumb too not even sorry#i can tolerate drax and nebula's ends.#but everyone else?#stupid#even peter's ending was fucking moronic. bro can pop in on the weekends he doesnt need to be a live in nurse for his grandpa#it's just such a major letdown and sucks everytime a director/author decides to split up the found family permanently#at least with voltron you can rationalize it by saying 'oh they never really wouldve hung out with eachother if they werent forced to for#voltron and werent forced to fight a war together.' and i can see it bc none of them DO hang out together before voltron#they barely even hang out AFTER they become voltron#keith and shiro hang out bc of the adoption/fostering/mentoring thing. lance and hunk MIGHT hang out bc they were already teammates#it's important to note that we never really see hunk and lance being bffs. theyre just friendly to eachother.#this becomes even more apparent once hunk and pidge actually become friends. it's very obvious hunk was just being friendly to lance.#just friendly.#(take this with a grain of salt bc ive only watched the whole series one time. i refuse to acknowledge anything after se 2.)#so yeah it does make more sense theyd all go their own ways but not even the small friend groups stay together at the end!#pidge and hunk are in completely different galaxies from eachother. same with keith and shiro#lance is isolated from all of them bc post se 3 writing team genuinely hated him and failed him as a character.#but GOTG3? they CHOSE to band together time and time again. they CHOSE to be a team. they CHOSE to be family#for every single one of them to say 'nah fuck that i want to be on my own bc uhhh reasons!' is a lame ending.#period.#gotg3

They fucking did it again those bastards. Jason Todd fucking dies 2: Electric Boogaloo. Fuck it, let's go for a threepeat at this point. It'll be funny as hell.
#tuesday spoilers#jason todd#in all seriousness though like...what the hell#I'm not even a Jason superfan. I like him but I'm not like INVESTED in the way I am with Steph's stuff#but I am so upset on y'all's behalf. Damian and Jason have gotten so thoroughly fucked over by Zdarsky.#And not even in a way that makes narrative sense or is the logical conclusion to their character flaws#it really is the 'X is the best Robin disease so fuck everyone who isn't them'. Tim is Zdarsky's fave so these other guys need to fuck off#Update: Jason is not dead. which is somehow even worse#because it means they wrote a fake-out death for a character who's defining thing is that he totally actually died#and now they're having a character who LITERALLY DID DIE THAT IS HIS WHOLE THING have a fakeout death#why couldn't it be Dick? Or Tim? Or Damian?#Obviously it wouldn't be Cass or Steph or Duke because Zdarsky doesn't even pretend to care about them#but a Tim fake-out would make sense because Zdarsky is actually really good at writing Tim's whole 'I am Batman's caretaker/keeper' thing#so having Tim 'sacrifice himself' to protect Bruce would make sense and it would also fit with how he's characterized#and because (credit where it's due) Zdarsky is good at writing Tim it would probably be at least interesting if not straight up good#and a Damian fake-out would have made sense to do a while ago because it makes sense logistically and would have#allowed Zdarsky to take him out of the story. which imo is preferable to writing him poorly. it also would have raised the stakes#I'm opposed to a Dick fake-out because like...nah. we've gotten so many of those and I don't want to be reminded of Ric if I can avoid it#but it would have been better than fake killing the guy who DIED FOR REALSIES AND IT'S HIS DEFINING EVENT#Damian also died for realsies but IDK if that's been retconned and also it's not literally his whole thing#Damian is a Robin who died but he is not THE Robin who died

No because I've seen so many people complaining about Joseph cheating being out of character when the first thing I said when I found out was "oh yeah checks out lol" .
#and i couldn't give less of a fuck btw he can do whatever he wants#honestly have you seen him suzi knew what she was getting into by dating him#in fact i'm surprised it took him so long šššš#i keep saying joseph is just extremely poly but he doesn't know that is an option#rip joseph joestar you would've loved open relationships and polyamory#no but seriously what he did is fucked up but it's not out of character šš#impulsive flirty little shit#and he feels guilty too like what else do you want from him a written apology what's done is done bro#also we got josuke???#say it with me!!!!! your fav character doing something you don't like doesn't mean they're out of character!!!!!#joseph joestar my beloved idc they could never make me hate you#joseph joestar#jojo's bizarre adventure

i feel like id like Sedusa more if she were in more episodes but so far she's just kinda "the lady that turned the powerpuff girls' dad against them" "the lady who kidnapped miss bellum" and "the lady who betrayed the gangreen gang and made Ace cry" so despite the massive amounts of cunt she serves charisma she has and an excellent design i kinda ended up hating her. but liking her at the same time. it's weird
#like with HIM i ended up liking him even though he had it out for Ace. purely bc he just had more screentime#like a THIRD of his appearences isnt 'fuck up Aces life' š man i wouldve loved to see Sedusa more#but the few appearences she did have just ended up leaving a bad taste in my mouth#bc she specifically hurt characters i really care about#HIM didnt do that in the same way i guess... like yeah he manipulated Bubbles a bit#but he gets enough goofy moments that the assholeishness is kinda negated i guess?#anyway. i think what im getting at is i wouldve wanted more silly Sedusa episodes u know#LIKE Mojo Jojo got a lot of thoze#but they always took Sedusa so seriously

Honestly? Did I want more from DTAMHD? Yes, I did. I wanted something signifying actual progression for Dennis' character (even just a crumb of genuine growth) , and I sincerely don't think we got that. However... we did get a fascinating insight into the process of his mind. Dennis' level of self-denial is so ironic and profound. He can't acknowledge the inevitability that he's middle-aged.
(I swear this episode honestly has given me an alt hc, that the show is based in his mind; because logistically, a man of his lifestyle and malnourishment could not commit the feats he is constantly sailing through. TGGB & DTAMHD... back-to-back? What happened to his hand? Did he even sprain it? Or is he just the most dramatic brat in the gang - clearly the latter.)
It is important to note that he didnāt fix the actual problem. He momentarily masked the symptoms, but ignore long-term help with blood pressure medicine is not going to fix the issue, nor is it going to protect him from fucking keeling over in a stressful situation (when he's not in a contained and quiet Doctor's exam room) and his blood pressure spikes.
I'm honestly a little jaded at this point (16 Fucking Seasons of crumbs, y'all), but if one were to continue 'trusting the structure' this episode conveyed a lot.
The B Plot: The pressure cooker. The metaphor parallels the building pressure Dennis quick-tempered bouts of rage. So, to toss out a little 'cat-in-the-wall' conjecture here: The pressure cooker is Dennis, but we all saw him eat that bloody diamond in the end and we all heard Mac's speech about coal turning into diamonds under massive pressure. Dennis' experience is a theory of pressure, he daydreams it all in the span of a minute or so. He's roleplaying with hypothetical obstacles. There's no risk. Maybe Dennis, isn't the pressure cooker, but the coal.
If I were to try and take anything hopeful out of this episode, it would be the way the narrative is showing us that this episode acknowledged that Dennis isn't ready yet. It's not his turn to break. It's going to take real, substantial pressure to get that diamond.
It was a hell of a misdirect (and honestly a little bit of a slap in the face), but if these characters live in the real world, where people are bound by the laws of mortality, then Dennis should have his time.
Genuinely, who fucking knows?
I'm not hating on the episode. We all know this is the trashy dick joke sitcom. I just thought that if Mac & Charlie could have moments of genuine heartbreak, culminating in deep catharsis, that maybe Dennis could have that too.... but no.
Can't wait to see the sunny dudebros miss the point & proclaim Dennis Reynolds - SA victim, traumatized individual with an emotionally tumultuous personality disorder - the new Andrew Tate.
I'm sorry, but yeah. I'm a little miffed. It was all a dream, and everything goes Dennis' way. Y'all I'm fucking tired. This was a great episode for Glenn, but a fucking frustrating episode for Dennis. I may have wanted a little macden, but all I cared about was seeing Dennis face the limitations of his mortality, to see that he's failing his body and his brain. He didn't have to actually take the medicine (I wouldn't expect him to), but Goddammit, everything seems to work out in his delusional favor. So, of course he's going to continue being delusional, and probably only change for the worse.
I'll say it: I wanted a broken Dennis, and we did not get that. He didn't even crack, the unbearble and apparently now canonical Golden God. That episode's title was intended to tease sunnyblr.
Excuse the plethora of tags. I just kept getting more irritated.
#what i take from the episode is further insight to the lengths of Dennis' repression which adds to my fic#iasip s16#i will say this: i can't dislike this episode solely because of how phenomenal glennjamin's performance was.#I'd say I'm retracting the title of macden 'truther'. I'm still a stan. but this ep made me realize dennis is too coddled by the narrative#with TGGB he's constantly winning. even the game he doesn't stay to watch the end of. his body performing near miracles. wtf#the real reason I'm seriously bothered is the sunny dudebros. they already idolize dennis#this ep has only made it worse because the obvious point of Dennis' actual delusions will go right over their heads.#anybody with a grounded sense of reality can tell you that dennis did not solve a problem#he dreamt up a scenario in some kind of toxic meditation session. he's getting older. and his denial is metastasizing#Dennis' denial isn't sustainable. I'm kind of cutting off my investment in that regard. he's a fucking mess & he's currently being idolized#dennis reynolds#definitely not my favorite episode. not bc of lack of macden. a little bc Den needs limitations. mainly bc 'it was all a dream' is cheap#ranting.excuse me for wanting 1 of my fave characts actually have his poor health.self-destructive coping mechanism/trauma acknowledged#can't believe i was actually afraid i wouldn't be able to write because too much might happen in DTAMHD...! š¤£#it should've all happened. but instead ended w/him getting charges pressed when he tried to break into ceo's home#ngl. this one hurt. I'm ready for Mac to give up on Dennis. i just wish this fucking show would let him.#excuse me while i go bawl like a baby watching MFHP. because I'm heartbroken that Dennis' BPD makes him push Mac away.#let's just say that realization has been bogging me down in my personal life the last couple of days. & this bummed me out.#Robert McElhenney. I'm outside the studio screaming at you to just let Mac move on & actually meet someone!#I'm not saying he deserves a relationship. but fuck... after 40 yrs of repression can he at least have a fling & fall out of love w/Den?#Dennis won't ever let him meet someone. & he'll never treat Mac like he actually cares about him.bc his own vulnerability terrifies him.š

You cannot tell me that DG (back before she lost her mind and dropped the ball at the homestretch) didnāt mean for us to read this scene:
ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½....Itās coming is a gift, which I accept with gratitude, but when itās gone, there is no sense of abandonment or deprivation. Iām only glad to have had it for as long as it chose to remain.ā
āAnd youāre saying your relationship with Manoke is the same. Does he feel that way about you, do you think?ā I asked, fascinated. He glanced at me, cleared startled.Ā
āI have no idea.ā
āYou, um, donāt...talk in bed?ā I said, striving for delicacy.Ā
His mouth twitched, and he looked away.
āNo.ā
We lay in silence for a few moments, examining the ceiling.Ā
āHave you ever?ā I blurted.
āHave I what?ā
āHad a lover that you talked to?ā
He cut his eyes at me.Ā
āYes. Perhaps not quite so frankly as I find myself talking to you, but, yes.āĀ
(An Echo in the Bone, Ch.95)
...and draw a straight line in our recollections to the times John lay abed with Percy in BotB, speaking of intimacies they shared with no one else. Because obviously, Percy was the only lover of his he really talked to about deeply personal matters in bed. (That we were shown anyway. He probably confided in Hector at least about some things, I hope.)
āShall I tell you a great secret?ā Percyās voice was soft, breath warm in his ear. Grey reached a hand through the sheets, slid it over the high round of a still warmer buttock.
āPlease,ā he whispered.
āMy name is not Percival.ā
.....[Percy] laughed a little unsteadily, took a deep breath, and lay down on his back, drawing the sheet up over his chest.
āMy name is Perseverance,ā he said in a rush.
āPer -ā Grey lay completely still, holding his breath and concentrating fiercely on his belly muscles.Ā
āGo ahead and laugh,ā Percy said from the dark, with exceeding dryness.Ā āI wonāt mind.ā
āYes, you would,ā Grey said, but was still unable to quell the bubble of mirth that rose up the back of his throat, and being there firmly suppressed, emerged through his nose in a strangled snort. To keep from committing further offense, he said the first thing that came into his mind.
āWhatās your middle name?ā
Percy laughed, sounding a little easier, now that the dreadful confession was made.
.....Just now, he was realizing exactly the magnitude of the the gift Percy had given him.Ā
He was the only one who knew. Percy had been right; it was a great secret, and John felt the weight of his loverās trust, warm on his heart.
He groped for Percyās hand and found it, slightly cold. They lay silent for a bit, holding hands, bodies warming to each other.Ā
.....Ā āShall I tell you a great secret?ā Grey whispered, at long last. ...
āPlease.ā Percyās hand tightened on his.
āMy father was murdered.ā
..... Somewhere in the telling, Percy had gathered him into his arms, and held him now, close against his body. His head lay in the hollow of Percyās shoulder, and the curly hairs of Percyās chest brushed soft against his lips as he spoke. ...
Percyās hand smoothed the hair away from Johnās face, gentle.Ā
āYour mother likely thought whoeverād killed your father had got you, too.ā
āYes, she did.ā For the first time in the telling, a lump came into his throat, recalling his motherās face when sheād seen him, filthy, trailing hay and mud across the Turkey carpet in her boudoir.Ā āThatās - thatās the only time she cried.ā
Percyās arm tightened round his shoulders. He could hear Percyās heart, a muffled steady thump beneath his heart.
āAnd you?ā Percy said at last, very quietly.Ā āDid you weep for your father?ā
āI never did,ā he said, and closed his eyes.
(BotB, Ch.18)
~*~
Percy did return to the matter a few days later, though. No doubt it was a matter of Percyās own upbringing in a religious milieu, Grey reflected. Or perhaps it was only that Percy had never been with a man willing to discuss philosophy in bed. Grey hadnāt, himself, but found the novelty mildly diverting.Ā
They had left the barracks separately and met in Percyās rooms for a few stolen hours. Where, after the initial delights of the flesh had been tasted, Grey found himself with his head pillowed on Percyās stomach, being read to from a collection of legal opinions. published a year or two previous.Ā
.....
āSo,ā Grey remarked,Ā āwe must be exterminated, because our pleasures are insufficiently ecstatic?āĀ
Percyās brow relaxed a bit, and he closed the book.
.....Still, he considered the matter, enjoying the peaceful rise and fall of Percyās breathing beneath his cheek.Ā
āI think a gentleman conducts his affairs with kindness and with honor,ā he said, at last. ...
Percy gave a short laugh.
āKindness and honor? Thatās all well - but what of love?ā
Grey valued love - and feared it - too greatly to make idle protestations.
āYou cannot compel love,ā he said finally,Ā ānor summon it at will. Still less,ā he added ruefully,Ā ācan you dismiss it.ā He sat up then, and looked at Percy, who was looking down, tracing patterns on the counterpane with a fingertip.Ā āI think you are not in love with me, are you?ā
Percy smiled a little, not looking up. Not disagreeing, either.Ā āCannot dismiss it,ā he echoed.Ā āWho was he? Or is he?ā
āIs.ā Grey felt a sudden jolt of the heart at the speaking of that single word. Something at once joyful and terrible; the admission was irrevocable.
Percy was looking up at him now, brown eyes bright with interest.
āIt is - I mean, he - you need not worry. There is no possibility of anything between us.ā Grey blurted, and bit his tongue to keep back the sudden impulse to tell everything, only for the momentary ecstasy of speaking of Jamie Fraser. He was wiser than that, though, and kept the words bottled tight in his throat.Ā
āOh. Heās not...?ā Percyās gaze flicked momentarily over Greyās nakedness, then returned to his face.
āNo.ā
It was late in the day; light skimmed across the room from the high attic windows, striking the dark burnished mass of Percyās curling hair, painting the lines of his face in chiaroscuro, but leaving his body in the dimness of shadow.
āIs friendship and sincere liking not enough for you?ā Grey was careful to avoid any tone of pettishness or accusation, making the question merely one of honest inquiry. Percy heard this, and smiled, lopsidedly, but with answering honesty.
āNo.ā He stretched out a hand and ran it up Greyās bare arm, over the curve of his shoulder, and down the slope of his breast, where he spread his palm flat over the nipple - and took a sudden hold of the flesh there, fingers digging into the muscle.
āAdd that, though...ā he said softly,Ā āand I think it will suffice.ā
(BotB, Ch.19)
That their story will never have a happy resolution - after all that they were, and couldāve yet been, to each other - is just tragic.Ā š„ŗššš
#*sits here loathing DG again*#John and Percy were literally the only LJG pairing set up within the integrity of the narrative to actually have a true shared love#John and Manoke are a joke as romantic pairing - John barely knows the first thing about the man bc he's never cared enough to know#John and Stephan have a lovely friendship and occasional FWB thing but John himself both by his own actions and self-knowledge...#knows what he feels for Stephan isn't romantic love but only physical attraction coupled with genuine friendship#and sorry not sorry but John/Jamie will only ever exist in fanfics - DG will never make them canon#and honestly if she did after 25 fucking years it would feel like such slap in the face to John because someone who really loved him...#would've figured out their shit decades ago rather continually hurt someone they're supposed to care about#not to mention that John deserves so much more than to play third wheel to Jamie/Claire#I mean seriously WTF is Gabaldon even doing with John's character anymore?!?!?!#OL is the most frustrating fucking fandom ISTG#at this point only the fanfiction DG loathes so much is actually worth reading lol#my random ramblings#Lord John Grey#Percy Wainwright#john x percy#Brotherhood of the Blade#lord john series#quotes#anti diana gabaldon

Wolfy read through that whole paragraph and I watched Daiku's face go into realization that we do that too at times -Lix
Hm, yeah I can see those too. Really comes to show how realistic some of Kai's writings are. I didn't even notice after all the times we've read it
Also holy fuck you have amazing analysis skills. -Wolfy
Yeah I kinda tend to read through things too many times. First readthrough just for fun, and then again as a different reader pov, and then as character 1 pov, then as character 2 pov, and occasionally as "trying to figure out what the author was doing with this" pov. This was a special case though, because I had specifically done a read-through recently where I was putting together a list of Chris' and Isaac's interactions and notable thoughts. The list wasn't ever completed but I had all the bits up to ch20.
#it's what i get for#reading one book series where each character is written extremely well and has their own moral code and point of view#and another book series where the authors have no idea what the other authors are doing and have to read the wiki of their own story#animorphs and warrior cats respectively#also unrelated note but why don't all the ibvs characters have fucking restraining orders against the others by now /hj#chris showed up at nevin's house after only knowing him for like four days. ''yeah i kinda saw you guys get home and walk in''#nevin repeatedly just shows up outside of chris' window#isaac locked two guys that are very likely to seriously injure eachother in a closet together. just to talk to chris.#(cant blame me for imagining a yandere isaac au for a while there)#edward's stalking problems. barry.#the most invasive thing drew's done is read people's emotions but it's not really like he can stop that or has been told that it's bad#autumn showing up at drew's school was slightly called out as being a little invasive but#that's actually entirely normal. for someone to look for the person who saved their life. why was that mentioned instead of chris or nevin?#nobody in the main cast respects eachothers privacy. or in isaac's case he's just occasionally obsessive.#wait nvm he did show up at edward's house that one time. okay nobody respects eachothers privacy. minus drew he's actually trying.#that one saga of ibvs chris rants

ok for real I know they were limited in their options for explaining Stilesā actions because DOB didnt come back but like SERIOUSLY. I have so many questions and complaints and not even all of them are Stydia relatedā¦.. spoilers obviously
.
Uhhh I canāt figure out how to add a read more on mobile sorry folks hopefully this is a good enough buffer !!!!!
.
..
ā¦
ā¦.
ā¦..
ā¦.
ā¦
..
.
Didā¦. Did anyone bother to tell Stiles that Allison is alive? ļæ¼ are we meant to believe that nobody did?? or whatās worse, that he was told and he just didnāt come to Beacon Hills or call or anything?
On that note, are we actually supposed to believe ā and I am not a Sterek girlie by any means, love and light to yāall but itās just not my cup of tea ā that Derek fucking DIED and there was a whole ass memorial service that Stiles just didnāt bother to show up to???? HELLO????
I mean itās also nearing levels of āspn finale Dean Winchester endingā stupid that Derek died in the first place, given ļæ¼that his whooooole character arc (by my book, anyway) is springing from the place of his trauma, and the way that he has blamed himself, struggled with guilt and loneliness and has been atoning for all of the pain of what he perceives to be personal failures the ENTIRE TIME, never letting himself get too close to people, never asking for help, and instead sacrificing for and nurturing Scott as the ideal alpha that he feels he couldnāt beā¦ I donāt know. It just feels like a needless sacrifice to me, like there are so many ways that you can restrain someone and prevent them from moving from the place where you need to. Oh I donāt know burn them alive ?maybe? Which donāt involve sacrificing yourself and burning alive yourself, right in front of your son and the rest of your loved ones. I know again there are production factors at play, maybe itās likely that they knew damn well Tyler H wouldnāt or couldnāt come back for another movie so they decided to kill off his character?? but suffice to say I was not happy with that at all (and not in the way I think it was INTENDED to upset me.)
Anyway, I know that Stiles needed to be absent because Dylan OāBrien was not a part of this movie, but if Iām being honest, I kind of would rather that Stiles had died ! Obviously I love Stilesās character and itās not that I want him dead at all!! itās just. if they were going to fully send it, and they know heās not coming back, and they knew that they were going to make up this premonition dream to break up Stydia ļæ¼ļæ¼and (poorly) explain his absence, then it wouldāve done a lot better to make that separation as permanent as in life and death. The Stiles we know would never want to be separated from the people he loves as much as he has been now because of all of the external, real life factors. In fact, the season arc with the ghost riders proved to us just how far Stiles can and would go to be present! It was aaaactually a whole thing ! So, if Iām being honestā¦ (1) the way that he and Lydia parted, (2) the way that he isnāt present or even mentioned in the light of his loved ones dying/being resurrected, and (3) again the fact that he wasnāt even at Derekās memorial ā¦ it all feels like a silent character assassination to me. It feels like the mentioning of āStilesā in this new canon contains less essence of Stiles than it wouldāve if he had died. I know itās easy to have a hater moment and make criticisms and piss and moan about how I wouldāve done it better, and I know itās not always as easy as it soundsā¦ but JESUS CHRIST
Also congrats to the sterek girlies on your own personal y yo a ti momentā¦ā¦that jeep shit was CRAZY

#this is only like an iceberg tip of the things I have to say about this movie#like thereās a clear estrangement between some of the main characters that honestly..stiles feared! we know he did#and we know how hard he fought to hold onto everyone#like he was the glue between them and it wouldāve been so sad to see that confirmed. he really WAS the glue#seriously. stiles dies. they all fall apart into little groups and fragments pieces of my HEART!!!! I wouldāve bawled.#we couldāve had a closed casket funeral flashback! Scott tries to take Maliaās hand and she pulls away. boom Scali breakup explained!#*āscalia (obvi)#and I feel it wouldāve been more evocative emotionally to see Lydia grapple with guilt#that stiles died (in her mind at least) because she was too selfish to heed her powerās warning and keep away from him#it wouldāve made the moments where Eli is SOOO similar to stiles HURT more for us as an audience AND to the characters who would see it too#like. raise the stakes! heighten Derekās (and all of their) fierce protectiveness for this baby !!#make us ACHE thinking about the cycle of it all. how this kid is Scott but heās also stiles and heās (literally) a little bit of Derek andā#also this is another thing but Iām also pissed that Liam and Mason had like ZERO interactions lmfao theyre fucking besties ??? or#if theyāre not anymore then you should TELL US THAT!!!#I wanna know why Scalia broke up and why sheās fucking Parrish FR#for REALLLL itās so left field and donāt get me started on what they did to her character and how it highlights Stilesā absence further#also I miss Theo. to ME heās under the Haleās wings. to ME heās a mechanic and an artist and him and Liam are boyfriends. haters stay mad#TAKES A DEEP BREATH.#okay I think Iām done for now#I canāt figure out how to add a read more on mobile so I hope tagging for spoilers will be good enough (!)#teen wolf#teen wolf movie#teen wolf movie spoilers#teen wolf spoilers#tw#ā¦. I mentioned Dean so.#supernatural finale#supernatural spoilers#alright. bases covered?#long post
